Two new surveys published today provide conflicting evidence over the state of the economy, with Lloyds Bank suggesting England at least may be seeing some rebound in business activity, while accountant Deloitte says that confidence among finance directors is now at its lowest level since the recession.
Lloyds' latest purchasing managers' index suggests that while there is little evidence of recovery in employment, business activity picked up in all nine English regions it monitors during September.
The survey is important because it follows a dire report from Lloyds in August when purchasing managers suggested business activity was at its lowest level for two years.
However, John Maltby, group director of Lloyds TSB Commercial, said not to get carried away. "The latest improvements in business activity were weaker than those seen at the start of the year, reflecting a less favourable global economic backdrop and strained business confidence in the wake of the euro area sovereign debt crisis," he said.
Similarly Margaret Ewing, a senior partner at Deloitte, said companies were nervous. "The world has become riskier and more uncertain for corporates," she said. "Chief financial officers are responding with a renewed focus on cost control – expectations of a revival in corporate capital spending and hiring are fading."
Deloitte said optimism among CFOs was at its lowest level since the beginning of 2009, when the UK was still mired in recession. Significantly, 43 per cent of CFOs think the UK will now slide back into recession, up from 33 per cent in the second quarter of the year.
Ian Stewart, chief economist at Deloitte, added: "Finance chiefs have become more bearish on the outlook for profits. Most see profit margins contracting over the next year, a marked change from the optimism we saw in profits a year ago."
The Bank of England's decision last week to launch a second round of quantitative easing underlines how seriously it regards the possibility of a return to recession.
There has been conflicting evidence about the extent of the slowdown from some parts of the economy, with purchasing managers index data giving more optimistic signals than official data on growth.

The New Gold Country Cyclery
We went up the hill today to take a look at the new Gold Country Cyclery. Rick and Ann have been working double-overtime this past month, trying to run the business while moving to their new location down the road in Shingle Springs. Well, the hard work is paying off as the new shop is beautiful! If you're in the area, definitely stop by to pay a visit and take a look at their fantastic new digs.

Glasser is the multimedia project of Cameron Mesirow. The Los Angeles-born artist works in several mediums, primarily music and various visual arts. She has two EPs (Apply from June 2009 and Tremel from April 2010) of eclectic electronic pop and built a reputation via MySpace. She plans and stages the visual and physical dynamics of her live shows, such as working with a dance troupe (Body City) and/or wearing custom-designed outfits (Los Angeles-based Ida Falck Øien). Much of her life is spent in the company of the arts: she is the daughter of a Blue Man Group father and an ex-Human Sexual Response member/mother. She worked for artist Mike Kelley (indie music fans likely know his work through Sonic Youth's Dirty) and collaborated with Tauba Auerbach on creating The Auerglass, a modified wooden pump organ designed to be simultaneously played by two people. And she is dating Matt Popieluch of Foreign Born. All of which doesn't scream art royalty, but certainly suggests an active life in the arts.
Given how broad her interests stretch, several themes seem to pop up frequently: "celestial"; "childlike"; and "sublime." Way to throw the kid in the corner. Certainly, "precious" is a fair way to describe the common thread in all of her work to date. That said, she started Glasser in the late '00s, so the project is still in its creative infancy. Let's at least wait until the first album, all right, Stans? Ring is scheduled to be released in September 2010 and features production from Van Rivers and the Subliminal Kid.

Faiz, 17 and very soon going on to 18, has grown tremendously. From a boy who could only move independently inside his house and had limited skills, he has now mastered most of the skills taught in the Deaf-Blind and Multi-Handicapped classroom.
When Faiz first came to the Home, he needed attention and guidance when eating and was only able to pick up big puzzles. He can now do all household tasks such as sweeping, cleaning, wiping the tables, making his own bed and throwing rubbish. Besides, he is also able to talk loudly with clear pronunciation to express his needs and walk independently to the market to buy food. When he is at the market, he is able to recognise money and its value. Thus, he is trained to pay for his own food using the money given to him and to receive the balance upon payment.
Since Faiz is almost to complete his training in the DBMH classroom, he will be absorbed into the Skills Development Programme where he will be further trained to improve his skills and earn some extra income at the same time.
The Deaf, Blind and Multi Handicapped Programme in St.Nicholas' Home aims to provide a full range of educational service and training to achieve full potential and ability to be independent. The visually impaired children who are part of the programme are basically equipped with useful daily living, motor, mobility, communication and academic skills. They range from the age of 7 to 18 years old. Each child usually has an Individual Education Plan depending on their needs. Stimulation activities are carried out to achieve significant impact on the students' learning experiences too. These children have benefited from the programme and are continuing to do so. Faiz is one of those visually impaired kids.
Being a Non-Governmental Organisation, St.Nicholas' Home has been depending on donations for these kids and to ensure the continuity of the remarkable programme. The deficit in funds are one of the reasons why more and more improvements are not being executed successfully for the programme such as buying new puzzles or even to teach them Braille. This is where the home depends on the public for their generosity to equip these kids with skills for life.
We would like to grab this opportunity to thank you for your generous contribution to our DBMH programme and for making a change in the lives of these children!

I use a Mac, and I would like my main HD to show how much information is currently being used, and how much is left over. In all of Chris' videos, his shows this and I can't figure it out. I have tried looking all over my computer settings to figure it out and can't find anything. Please help!
Without looking at exactly what you're referring to, I'm almost 100% positive that he's using a program to accomplish that, not the OS.
Does anyone have an idea of what program or folder action he is using for this?

Occasionally however fishing enthusiasts like to try another location. On this page we outline some of the popular fishing areas where almost every day individuals can be observed fishing.
For convenience we have divided the country geographically and clicking on the geographic link below will take you to that section of the country. To find the locations referred to on this page, see the Trinidad Map
Mucarapo Bay is on the outskirts of Port of Spain, along the Audrey Jeffers Highway, also known as the Foreshore. Fishing in this area is usually only done at high tide because at low tide the water level on the in-shore area is extremely low.
The large population in Port of Spain and its environs with its myriad fishing enthusiasts places pressure on shore based areas of the north-west peninsula of Trinidad as recreational fisherman seek open sea front. The recent construction of a jetty in Carenage has provided an additional location for those whose hobby is fishing.
This jetty is located next to the Carenage fishing depot immediately before the Alcoa bauxite terminal. The jetty is a concrete structure with railings and wide enough to allow fishing on either side. An added benefit of fishing from this jetty is the row of lights along the jetty that allow clear vision in the night. The water in this bay is somewhat shallow and so it would be best to fish as high tide approaches.
The close proximity of Chagaramas National Park to Port of Spain and its environs makes it an extremely popular fishing area. Almost every exposed area of coastline is used for fishing. Within Chagaramas however some locations are used more frequently than others.
Williams Bay
Williams Bay is located at the eastern end of Chagaramas and is the first bay encountered as you enter the peninsula along the Western Main Road. Part of the attraction of this area is the low sea wall that provides a solid platform for standing. Another attraction is the fact that it is possible to park your vehicles next to the sea wall. At low tide the sea level in this area is very low and so the majority of fishing is done at high tide, particularly when high tide occurs during the early afternoon hours (3pm - 7pm). The eastern end of the bay is the area in which most fishing activity occurs.
Salt Factory
This is a fishing spot used by those in the know. The end of the road leading to the Salt Factory in Chaguaramas (First Avenue South) is a quiet fishing spot used by locals in the Chaguaramas area. It is a small area with room for only two fishermen. One of the reasons for it's popularity is the fact that the water level is deeper than at other land accessible fishing spots in the area.
Anchorage Bay
This bay is along the Western Main Road in the Chagaramas peninsula immediately after the entrance to the Trinidad and Tobago Sailing Association. Fishing takes place from the rocks on the edge of the bay along the road. While the catches in this bay are not huge and, as is typical of fishing, not guaranteed, people either catch often enough or see others catch often enough to keep them coming back to the bay. The bottom of this bay is rocky particularly as it approaches the shore so fishermen should walk with extra hooks, line and weights.
Centipede Island
This island is a popular fishing spot for those in the know. The actual fishing location is not on Centipede Island but actually on a small islet on the northern side of the island. For those without a boat, a water taxi can be hired at Island Property Owners facility for the short trip (5 minutes) to the islet. Arrangements can be made with the water taxi for collection at a designated time or upon a cellular call.
Macqueripe Bay
Located at the end of the Tucker Valley Road in Chaguaramas is Macqueripe Bay. The rocks on the northern side of the bay are often used for fishing. Also used for fishing is the abandoned jetty on the northern side of the bay. The photo of Macqueripe Beach on the Beaches page shows the jetty.
Point Gourde
This is not a well known fishing spot but ideally structured for the recreational rock fisherman. It is on the northwestern side of the Point Gourde penninsula in Chaguaramas. On this part of the penninsula there is an old seawall with areas that make good benches. Close to the wall are underwater rock structures that usually attract fish and there are abandoned ships in the vicinity that also attract fish. Behind the seawall is a flat area that makes a good campsite for those who want to do an overnight fishing expedition. The area has many mosquitoes and so insect repellant is required, if staying overnight. Across the bay is a marina and hangars that provide a visual attraction at night.
To get to this location is a relatively easy hike of about 40 minutes and our Other Hikes page has a description of the hike and directions.
Las Cuevas Beach
Las Cuevas Beach lies along the North Coast Road, approximately 8 kilometers east of Maracas. The bay is often used by north coast commercial fishermen for catching bait fish, as schools of small fish gather in the bay. Wherever schools of fish gather, larger fish eventually come to prey, hence the popularity of this bay for fishing enthusiasts. Even if the larger fish are not caught you are generally certain to catch some of the small bait fish, leading to an enjoyable day. The north eastern end of the bay in the vicinity of the fishing depot is the most used location because of the safety caused by the numbers of people in the area.
Fort Abercromby, Las Cuevas
To get to Fort Abercromby, you go past Las Cuevas beach and fishing depot and take the first road on the left and follow the road until it ends at the fort. If you follow the tracks leading north you emerge on a headland with the sea below. The south track brings you to a promontory overlooking Las Cuevas Bay. For those using the north headland, you should carry plenty of line as the headland is a significant height above the sea.
Galera Point
The rocks at Galera Point are a favorite fishing ground of many, especially the area below the lighthouse. To get to Galera Point you turn off the Toco Main Road at the round-a-bout in Toco Village and proceed easterly, going past the Toco Composite School and Salybia Bay. The lighthouse is at the end of the road. On arrival at the lighthouse you walk along the northern side of the lighthouse and follow the track to the rocks. One fact that must be taken into consideration by anyone going onto the rocks is that the splash of the waves against the rocks can be heavy at high tide. This can cause the footing near the edges to be slippery. Occasionally the splash and spray are heavy enough to soak persons near the edge.
La Fouray
The headland at La Fouray is a little known fishing spot but highly favored by those who know of it. The headland is not far above the water and the water surrounding is deep so it does not require plenty of line to make a good cast. Spare hooks and sinkers must be brought on any fishing expedition to this headland as there are numerous rocks in the water below the headland.
The La Fouray headland is along the same coastline as Galera Point. For directions to La Fouray visit our Beaches Page.
Guyamara Beach
This beach is along the Toco Main Road after Rampanalgas Village and before Cumana Village. The beach is directly opposite Khan Avenue. It is an area of heavy surf and currents that is not suitable for swimming but good for fishing. A long heavy rod is recommended for this beach.
33 kilometer Marker
On the Toco Main Road at the 33 kilometer distance marker is a small cove where two rivers run to the sea at either end of the cove. The cove is adjacent to the main road and there are a few locations where there is sufficient space on the edge of the road to park your vehicle. Part of the attraction of this cove for fishing is the low sea wall that provides a place for sitting as well as placing your bait and other equipment. The waters offshore contain rocks, so extra line, hooks and weights should be brought with you. This cove is also a favourite camping spot.
34.5 Kilometer Marker
At the 34.5 kilometer distance marker on the Toco Main Road, shortly after the village of Rampanalgas, is a flat cliff top that provides a great location for fishing. The cliff faces the open ocean on one side and a sheltered bay on another side. There is ample space for parking several cars off the main road and then one approaches the ocean side of the cliff.
Nariva River mouth
The mouth of the Nariva River is found along the Manzanilla/Mayaro Road. For those coming from Sangre Grande it is after the initial stretch of coconut trees when the road swings away from the coast and then rejoins the coast after going through a forested area. For those approaching from Mayaro, it is shortly after the road leading to Kernahan Village.
This location may be the most popular fishing spot on this entire coastline. It is possible to fish from the bridge, beach or river bank. The particular species that will usually be found in estuaries are Tarpon, Mullet, Salmon, Grouper and Nariva has all of these. As with all river mouth fishing the change of tides is the best time for catching as the larger fish enter the river on the high tide and exit on the low tide. One factor to be remembered when fishing in this area is that at dusk, the mosquitoes emerge from the swamp, so carry repellant.
While the point at which the Nariva River joins the sea is the most popular location for fishing, there are other areas along this river that are also good locations for fishing. When approaching this area from Sangre Grande, the road crosses the river approximately two miles before the river mouth. This bridge provides another location for fishing. The bridge has been constructed with relatively wide pavements on either side so that you can stand on the pavement and be out of the flow of the traffic. On this stretch of the river, schools of grande ecaille (also known as tarpon) are sometimes seen lazily swimming upstream.
The Manzanilla/Mayaro Road, before this bridge, runs through a coconut plantation. In the area between the bridge and the Bovell coconut factory the river is 100 150 meters from the road. There are areas along the river bank where there is a break in the mangrove providing direct access to the river and it is possible to walk through the coconut area to the river.
Ortoire River
Another popular fishing area along this coast is at the Ortoire River which is a few kilometers after the Nariva River. Fishing is possible from the bridge across the river which has relatively wide pavements and also at the river mouth.
Both the Ortoire and Nariva rivers are also good kayaking areas.
Manzanilla Sea Front
For those who like surf fishing Manzanilla offers 9 miles of beach front on which to fish.
Goodrich Bay
Goodrich Bay in Savonetta Point Lisas is accessed via North Sea Drive (the road leading to Industrial Gases Limited). At the end of the road is the former Caroni rum shipping terminal in a large mangrove lined bay. Mangroves are spawning areas for fish and the young spend their early lives among the mangrove roots, thus attracting larger predator fish. The rum terminal does not have heavy shipping traffic and so for most of the time this bay is in its natural state.
On the eastern section of the bay there is a concrete embankment providing a platform for standing. The southern section is lined with mangroves but there are tracks through the mangrove and fishermen have created clearings in the mangrove at the waters edge.
This fishing location is located on the boundary between Pointe-a-Pierre and Plaisance Park in South Trinidad. As you descend Pointe-a-Pierre hill heading north on the Southern Main Road, there is a service station on the eastern side of the road and directly opposite this service station is a narrow road with a hotel on the corner. Taking this narrow road leads to the beach. The road is only wide enough for one vehicle to travel and at the end there is a turning/parking area that can accommodate two vehicles.
The shore area is a combination of mangrove, grass, abandoned concrete abutments and steel pipe from an old jetty. It therefore provides several locations for standing or sitting and casting your line. This shore line is on the Gulf of Paria and so will have brown coloured water particularly in the rainy season.
San Fernando Waterfront
The entire waterfront of San Fernando is used for fishing, however the popular area begins at the Wharf and extends is a southern direction to the Paradise cemetery with the most popular location being directly opposite the PTSC compound.
As with most fishing on the western coast of Trinidad, the best time is around high tide especially when high tide is between 3pm and 7pm.
Mosquito Creek
The proximity of Mosquito Creek to San Fernando and its environs has made it a popular fishing location for southerners. Mosquito Creek is the name given to the stretch of the Southern Main road that begins after Cara Suites Hotel and ends at the Godineau Bridge. The road runs alongside the sea and is backed by the Oropouche Lagoon. A concrete sea wall has been constructed in an attempt to prevent sea encroachment and it is from this sea wall that the fishing is done. While fishing takes place along the entire length of the sea wall, the eastern and western ends are the most popular. At these ends the wall veers away from the road moving the fisherman away from the vehicular traffic along the road.
Godineau Bridge
For those with a boat, the Godineau River provides freshwater fishing as the main river is navigable for a considerable distance from the sea. For those without a boat the bridge spanning the river provides an ideal location for fishing. The bridge spans the river exactly where it meets the sea and is on the Southern Main Road, outside of San Fernando immediately next to the Shore of Peace. As with all river mouth fishing, the change of tides is the best time for catching as the larger fish enter the river on the high tide and exit on the low tide. When casting into the river be aware that at low tide there is a noticeable movement of the water out of the river.
Usine Ste. Madeline Pond
A well known freshwater fishing location in South Trinidad is the pond opposite the former St Madeline Sugar Factory on the edge of the golf course along the Manahambre Road to Princes Town. While the pond is visible from the road, there are actually two ponds with the second pond being to the east of the pond along the golf course. When visiting the pond you can sometimes see either an Anhinga or an Osprey plunging into the water to catch fish.
River of Hope, Moruga
The River of Hope is a wide (by Trinidad standards) river in Moruga that can be accessed using La Ruffin Road. The river is fairly deep and used by commercial fishermen to access the sea in their pirogues. According to the commercial fishermen who live in the area, the river has grouper, tarpon, salmon and mullet. Fishing can be done from the river bank or from the spring bridge that spans the river.
Clarke Road Dam
For many a young person in the inland areas of Trinidad, fishing along a river bank or from the edge of a pond with a simple bamboo rod is their introduction to the world of fishing. For some individuals this remains as their preferred type of fishing while for others freshwater fishing is an occasional alternative to saltwater. Along Clarke Road in Penal, shortly after the Petrotrin office, is a moderately sized dam that is a good location for freshwater fishing. This dam provides the opportunity for catching cascadoo (cascadura) and guabine (waubeen).
Quinam Beach
Quinam Beach in south Trinidad is also popular for fishing. On this beach surf rods are recommended as wading into the ocean is required.
This is one area where people have been fishing and catching fish for over 200 years. On 2nd August 1498 Columbus landed here and called it Punta del Arenal or Sandy Point. Some time between 1784 and 1797 a land grant was given to create an agricultural estate and to this date an estate is still operating on this spot alongside the beach. It has been reported that people from the estate have fished on this spot from the time the estate was created. Even up to today, people continue to fish from the beach alongside the estate. A mile west of Icacos beach is Wolf Reef which is reported to have with 400 lb groupers.
Point Coco beach is used by persons in the Southwestern peninsula for fishing. As this is a very flat beach with a gentle gradient one has to walk into the surf to cast the fishing line and then walk back to the beach and place the rod on a pole while awaiting a bite. To get directions to Point Coco beach see the Point Coco section on our Beaches Page.
Along the Clifton Hill beachfront a large rock sea wall has been constructed. This rock seawall now provides an easily accessible location for fishing as the road runs parallel to the sea wall, so you can park and clamber to the top of the sea wall.
To the immediate east of that sea wall, a rock breakwater has been built. That breakwater now provides a convenient location for salt water fishing. It is fairly easy to access the breakwater from the beach as the distance from the sand to the rocks is short.
To obtain directions to this breakwater see the Clifton Hill Beach section of our Beaches Page. To the east of this rock breakwater there is the new beach facility and just beyond the facility, the Guapo River enters the sea. All river mouths in Trinidad are good locations for fishing. At this particular river mouth, mullet can usually be found and at certain times of the year grand escaille (tarpon) will frequent the river mouth.
Guapo Bay
In this bay there are two old jetties and a rock outcrop that provide potentially good fishing locations. You can find out more about this bay on the Guapo Bay section of our Beaches Page.
Every weekend at the irrigation canals on the eastern side of the Uriah Butler Highway in the vicinity of the Caroni Flyover, fishermen can be seen with rods or nets catching cascadoo (also known as cascadura). An important feature of the cascadura is its ability to utilize its gut, which is richly supplied with blood vessels, to assist in breathing when the water becomes low in oxygen. The fish surfaces and gulps air, allowing it to be spotted by sharp-eyed fishermen and so giving a good indication of where the net or line should be cast. They tend to rest among the roots of the Soharee plant which grows in swampy land and also lay their eggs among the roots and so among the roots is a good location for a line cast.
These canals always have water, with the level being higher in the rainy season. In addition to cascadoo, coscarob, waubeen, mullet and catfish may be found in these canals, as in other freshwater areas. From the Uriah Butler Highway, the irrigation canal that parallels the highway is easily seen but there is also a second canal that lies behind the first which is easily accessed via a metal bridge next to an old pump house. In addition to the irrigation canals that run parallel to the Uriah Butler Highway on its eastern side from the Caroni overpass to the Rexcar walkover, there are several other areas in the vicinity that are popular fresh water fishing locations. On the eastern side of the highway, just after the junk yards on the western side of the Uriah Butler Highway in Guayamare Village, there are two dirt roads. These roads run alongside wide irrigation canals that flow from Cunupia to the sea. Both of these canals are popular fishing spots with the second canal being especially popular with families on a Sunday afternoon.
On western side of Uriah Butler Highway from the Monroe Road exit to the Caroni River there are several irrigation canals that are also used for fishing. These rivers actually begin on the eastern side flow across the highway and continue on the western side to eventually enter the sea or merge into the Caroni Swamp. Alongside the Blue River (at the Caroni Savannah Road exit where people go bird watching) there is a bumpy dirt road that follows the river on its northern side. This road leads to a point where a tributary joins the Blue River and is another popular fishing spot. The confluence of these two rivers is also a popular liming spot on a Sunday afternoon. In addition to those who drive to the spot, the Blue River is used by owners of pleasure boats to have fun running up and down the river and out to the Gulf of Paria and some boats tie up on the river bank at this spot. Families can usually be seen sitting on the banks fishing and enjoying each other's company. The black tilapia is also found in these waters and often locals use nets strung across the canals to catch this species. On the northern side of the Blue River there are a series of small lakes where recreational fishermen use strung nets and cast nets to catch tilapia. Catching marine swimming crabs in these canals is also very popular. Individuals use a piece of chicken on a line dangled in the water and when the crab takes hold of the chicken the line is pulled out of the water and a flattened basket (usually the metal or plastic cover from a fan) is slipped under to catch the crab if it lets go of the bait when it comes out of the water.

The West Bay area is so deeply original, that it defies conventional labeling. Located on the western side of Narragansett Bay, it exists as so many different things to different people, yet maintains a high level of unity and civic pride. In many ways the West Bay is one of the last few "pure suburbias." Its communities are well suited to those who like a bit of space from the pace of the city, while enjoying the convenience of multiple transportation options. This is why some like to think of the West Bay as the inter-modal hub of Rhode Island. The West Bay Community Action group has made partnerships and worked extensively to support and develop useful services for the area's citizens. To those who desire an affordable, yet modern, suburb with rural touches, the West Bay is a great option, providing a life of quality, serenity, and versatility.

Hell to Pay, the third novel in the To Hell and Back series, will be out in a few weeks. It's already available for pre-order on Amazon. And now comes the first review, from the Summer Reading Project blog. Reviewer Annie Smith says, "I love it when an author reveals that there's been a bigger story behind the individual books' plots. Hughes never hid this, but each new book shows new layers and ties them all together."

Whether you're looking to host the perfect holiday party, potluck dinner, or theme party, here are some simple ways to guarantee your soiree will be a success.
This post by Deborah Taylor-Hough comes from partner site The Dollar Stretcher.
Hosting a party doesn't need to be an event just for holidays. Most people already have full calendars around major holidays, and might be more grateful for an invitation to a special gathering at an otherwise quiet time of year.
Maybe you and your guests would enjoy a big Mexican-themed celebration for Cinco de Mayo, a brunch on the Fourth of July before going to the local festivals or parades, or a special Valentine's Day dessert party. Whether you're looking to have a simple family dinner party, a gathering for friends, or a major reunion, here are some simple tips to keep your party fun-filled for both you and your guests – without breaking the bank.
1. Choose the type of party
The first step for planning a successful party is to decide what type of gathering you want to host. Full-fledged sit-down dinner parties are probably what comes to mind first when thinking of gatherings, but there are much easier and less expensive options.
For easy preparation, consider a buffet-style dinner rather than a seated dinner party. For a buffet, be sure to select foods that don't require cutting with a knife and aren't covered with runny sauces that could drip onto clothes or carpets as people mingle.
Potluck dinners work well for large gatherings: family celebrations, reunions, church activities, gatherings of close friends. If you're hosting a potluck, you might want to suggest items for people to bring. An easy way to divide up the food preparation is to include a note with your invitation that states: Families with last names starting with the letters A – H bring side dishes/salads, I – Q bring main dishes, and R – Z bring desserts. You'll be taking "potluck" about which actual food items people choose to prepare, but by dividing up the general categories ahead of time, you'll be assured the basics are covered. As the host, you'll need to provide serving utensils, silverware, plates, and drinks.
For a fun party alternative to a full dinner, consider throwing an appetizer party or a dessert buffet.
Many parties move from being simple gatherings to fun-filled events by the addition of a theme. Here are some possibilities: birthday, anniversary, holiday, casino night, Roaring '20s, road rally, rock star costume party, toga party, crab feed, '50s sock hop, garden party, luau, scavenger hunt, Mardi Gras, magic, science fiction, Mad Hatter's tea party, tropical, '60s retro, disco, movie stars, masquerade, Wild West barbecue. Many of these themes work equally well with both children and adult parties. Sometimes the sillier the theme, the more fun – especially for adults who may need to loosen up a bit and smile more often.
For example, rather than hosting a simple backyard barbecue this summer, throw a Cowboy Barbecue. Ask people to arrive wearing their own selection of blue jeans or jean skirts, Western-looking shirts, colorful bandanas, cowboy hats, boots. Serve steak sandwiches, hot dogs for the kids, cole slaw, baked beans, and cornbread on picnic tables (or even hay bales) covered with red and white checked tablecloths. For entertainment, play country music, teach everyone some simple line dances, and stage a horseshoe-throwing contest. If the barbecue goes into the evening hours after dark, end the party with a campfire and old-fashioned singalong.
2. Plan ahead
Save time, effort, and money on your party by planning ahead. A small notebook or three-ring binder can be used for your personal planning to document all the big (and small) details of your event. You can also keep your notebook for future events. Using dividers, separate your party notebook into the following six sections: The Basics, The Budget, The Guest List, The Menu, Preparation Lists, Decorations. In your party notebook, you'll want to include any and all steps needed for accomplishing everything for your party. Break down the steps into weeks, days, and hours before your event. List even obvious details such as "set out the silverware," since these tend to be the sort of things that can often get overlooked in the rush.
The basics: This section includes a list of the basic details of your party: the date, time, and location. Be sure to included detailed instructions to the party location, providing a map if available. The date of event doesn't have to actually be on the event date that you're celebrating. For example, having an anniversary celebration the day after the big day allows the anniversary couple the joy of celebrating just the two of them and also sharing their celebration with their friends and family. When planning when to send invitations, be sure to allow plenty of time for people to arrange their schedules, usually at least three weeks in advance. Remember, for outdoor parties plan a contingency in case of inclement weather.
The budget: Plan an estimated budget beforehand for all expenses, keeping a running total as you shop and prepare. As you're shopping for your party, always shop from a detailed list with an estimated idea of what you should be spending. One simple way to save money on party products is by using the good china and silverware (if you have it), rather than paper plates, plastic tableware, etc. This might add a bit more work afterwards with clean-up, but it brings a simple touch of elegance to your gathering.
Guest list: Include in this section of your notebook the names, addresses, phone numbers, RSVP record, and special dietary requirements.
Menu: Include everything from beverages to appetizers to desserts. Know your guests. Find out if anyone avoids alcohol or has special dietary requirements or food allergies. Many older people can't eat rich or spicy foods. Are your guests sophisticated gourmets or more comfortable with familiar favorites? If children will be attending your party, include some simple child-friendly foods in your menu (for example, red gelatin salad with sliced bananas is always a hit with kids).
Aim for balance in your menu. Remember, foods don't have to be expensive to be tasty. Simply adding fresh herbs from your garden as a garnish can often be enough to dress up less expensive recipes. Select recipes that are easy to prepare or can be made ahead of time. Don't try a new recipe for the first time at a party, use your tried and true favorites. Consider food that the guests help prepare such as salad bar, baked potato bar, etc.
One of the simplest tricks for easy party planning is to make as many food items ahead of time as possible. Many foods can be prepared, frozen, and then thawed and reheated on party day with a minimal amount of effort. Choose items that freeze well, like cookies, cakes, and casseroles.
Preparation lists: This section of your notebook includes a list of the step-by-step preparation for every subsection of your party plan. Be sure to plan out individual preparation lists for these topics: cleaning and preparing the house, checking for supplies and equipment, cooking, decorating, shopping.
Decorations: Think through every room guests will be using and then decide if you want to include special decorations in each room. Be sure to consider table and food service decor, room decorations, yard, front door, bathroom, etc.
When it comes to decorations, simpler is often better. Too many decorations can overwhelm your budget and also make a crowded room look too busy. A seasonal wreath on the door, candles scattered around the house, and a flower arrangement on the table could be all you need to make the house look festive.
For parties after dark, one of the most elegant and simple decorating ideas is to light candles everywhere. You can also line your front walkway or the edge of your backyard with inexpensive luminaria (small brown paper bags containing about an inch of sand in the bottom and a lit votive candle). If you have them, torches can add a festive look to your yard. Another easy decorating tip is to pull out your tiny white Christmas lights from their storage boxes. They can be used around doorways, strung amid your flowerbeds, or used for twinkling lights in trees and bushes.
3. Tips to be a great host
- Music is an important part of any party since it helps to set the mood. Keep any music fairly quiet since you don't want people yelling to be heard – unless it's dance music rather than background mood music.
- When parking your personal car, find a spot away from the area where guests will be parking. You don't want to get blocked by other cars in case you need to run to the store.
- As you're preparing before the party, carry a timer in your pocket to remind you when to baste or stir food items.
- Remember to be a good host/hostess: greet your guests, make sure someone takes their coats or shows them where to put their things, introduce your guests to each other, and give them an idea of something they have in common as a conversation starter.
4. Simple recipes
- Spinach Dip: 1 package frozen spinach (thawed and drained), 16-oz. sour cream, 1 can water chestnuts (chopped) and 1 package buttermilk ranch dressing mix. Mix together; chill. Serve inside large hollowed-out sourdough bread round. Serve with chips, veggies.
- Sweet Fruit Dip: 1 small container marshmallow cream, 8-oz. cream cheese. Blend together thoroughly. Serve cut-up fruit with toothpicks for dipping: cantaloupe, honeydew, any melon, apples (red and green), bananas, grapes.
- Easy Fruit Salad: cut up cantaloupe, honeydew, apples, bananas, grapes, any melon, raisins, nuts (walnuts, almonds, or pecans). Stir in two small containers of vanilla-flavored yogurt (not plain yogurt). Serve cold.
5. Have fun
If you've planned ahead carefully and done your party preparations in advance, you'll save money by avoiding hidden last-minute expenses. Careful preparation will also allow you, as the host or hostess, to relax and enjoy your get-together as much as your friends and family.
Have a wonderful time!

I had one of those many years ago Wayne. The smoker worked great. The one problem was how expensive meat was to make some jerky. I think the weight loss was something like 10-1, so 10 lbs of meat would give you one pound of jerky. I never did catch enough fish to use it, so I eventually gave it away. Since the heating element is low heat, you could probably make a wooden box to smoke it in. Maybe Oak, then you can get some flavoring from the box as well as the chips. Good luck Tony. -- Bill, Turlock California, http://www.brookswoodworks.com |

I love charcoal and chip fired smoking, and have thought about a cold smoker. In Hervé This's book "Molecular Gastronomy" he talks about smoking at about 100°F with an electrical charge on your food grate (probably about what you'd get off of a leg of a neon sign transformer), to do fish in a few minutes at the low temperature rather than hours at a higher one. I've always gotten stuck at the point where I was trying to set up something to automatically regulate the temperature, but I keep thinking that if I stumble across an electric hotplate at a garage sale I'm most of the way there. Use that to heat the chips, have a cooling flue of some sort, and put the materials to be smoked in the secondary container and use a sign transformer on the grill plate. Everything else out of wood. -- Dan Lyke, Petaluma California, http://www.flutterby.net/User:DanLyke |

I use this one. It's a hot smoker or so. I don't know what the temp would be if you had it turned on low. I turn it all the way up to high and get around 200-225. So it's not ultra heat. yesterday I smoked 6 chikens and they were in there for 12 hrs. I left 3 still in there for another 3 hours till the picnic time. They were still moist, not dry. It uses a water pan so as long as there is water it keeps it around 212 deg. I made my own smoke box to replace the one that came with it. The original one allowed the wood to catch fire and the smoke laasted for about 5 minutes. I took a 4 X 6" rectangular tube, welded on a bottom and welded bolts to the side and attached the top with nuts. There is no real gap between the tube and the top so smoke seeps out and I end up with charcoal when I empty it. I get about 45 minutes of smoke. I made 2 of them so I'm going to weld a pipe on the side so i can slip in a handle to take out the done one and put in another to keep my smoke longer. But I did see plans somewhere for using a cardboard box, electric hotplate, alum pie plate and smoking in there. -- I've been blessed with a father who liked to tinker in wood, and a wife who lets me tinker in wood.

President Barack Obama promised to make overhauling the immigration system a top priority in his first year as president. He's now in Year Two, and the odds that he'll get to sign a bill before the November midterm elections appear long.
Grass-roots activists are frustrated by the wait for a new system and are organizing a rally Sunday on the National Mall by what they hope will be thousands of people from across the country loudly voicing their displeasure at the pace of action.
In meetings last week, Obama sought to assure activists and senators who are drafting a bill of his "unwavering" commitment to comprehensive immigration changes. But that same day, the White House also signaled that the issue is not on its priority list for action before the entire House and one-third of the Senate face voters in November.
Asked about the priorities after health care, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said financial regulation, energy legislation and watering down a recent Supreme Court ruling on campaign finance are among the "big priorities" — not to mention jobs and the economy.
Gibbs said nothing would happen on immigration without strong bipartisan support. "It's got to be more than the president wants to get something done," he said.
How to handle the estimated 12 million people in the U.S. illegally is a volatile issue, with some interests opposing any attempt to help them become citizens and others insisting on stronger border controls first. Lawmakers failed to agree in 2006 and 2007 when they last tried to overhaul the immigration system, and the political climate this year is tougher than it was back then.
Advocates remain hopeful and say Congress has plenty of time to send Obama a bill by November.
Sens. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., released an outline of their bill Thursday, and Obama pledged to get immigration legislation moving through Congress this year.
The outline calls for illegal immigrants who want to get on the path to legal status to admit they broke the law by entering the U.S., pay fines and back taxes and perform community service. They also would be required to pass background checks and be proficient in English before working toward legal residency, required before becoming a citizen.
Obama tapped Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to oversee the effort, and she has sought support for immigration overhaul in dozens of meetings with lawmakers from both parties.
Her department also has taken steps to improve the current system by focusing deportations of undocumented immigrants on those with criminal histories and by going after employers who knowingly hire undocumented immigrants, rather than the workers themselves.
But those steps haven't eased the anger and disappointment felt by immigration reform advocates and Latinos, who voted heavily for Obama in the 2008 presidential election largely because of his promise.
Obama's position is that the system needs to be fixed to better track who goes in and out of the U.S., crack down on employers that hire undocumented immigrants and help those people come out of the shadows and contribute to society, including paying taxes. He wants them to register, pay a fine, learn English and not skip ahead of anyone already in the citizenship pipeline.
"It will be one of my priorities on my first day (as president) because this is an issue that we have demagogued," candidate Obama told the National Association of Latino Elected Officials in June 2008. "There's been a lot of politics around it, but we haven't been serious about solving the problem. And I want to solve the problem."
"I will make it a top priority in my first year as president," he told the League of United Latin American Citizens the following month.
Five months after taking office, Obama said after meeting at the White House in June 2009 with a bipartisan group of about 30 lawmakers that immigration overhaul would be a difficult undertaking. But he said work on it must get under way that year.
By August 2009, the rhetoric had changed.
Asked about immigration overhaul at a news conference during a visit to Mexico, Obama said changing the system would have to wait until 2010 while he focused on other priorities, such as overhauling the health care and financial regulatory systems.
In appearances after that, Obama promised action but dropped references to any timetable.

pcs 97/06/07 05:53:02 Modified: htdocs/manual/mod mod_mime.html Log: Update the summary part of mod_mime documentation to: - not state that extensions must be given in a particular order - mention assigning of handlers and use of info in content-negotiation - mention effect of 'unknown' extensions Revision Changes Path 1.13 +37 -15 apache/htdocs/manual/mod/mod_mime.html Index: mod_mime.html =================================================================== RCS file: /export/home/cvs/apache/htdocs/manual/mod/mod_mime.html,v retrieving revision 1.12 retrieving revision 1.13 diff -C3 -r1.12 -r1.13 *** mod_mime.html 1997/06/07 12:27:50 1.12 --- mod_mime.html 1997/06/07 12:53:01 1.13 *************** *** 20,41 **** from the filename.
- - The filename of a document is treated as being composed of a basename followed - by some extensions, in the following order: -
base.type.language.enc- The type extension sets the type of the document; types are defined - in the TypesConfig file and by the - AddType directive. The language extension - sets the language of the document, as defined by the - AddLanguage directive. Finally, the - enc directive sets the encoding of the document, as defined by - the AddEncoding directive.
+ + The directives AddEncoding, AddHandler, AddLanguage and AddType + are all used to map file extensions onto the meta-information for that + file. Respectively they set the content-encoding, handler, + content-language and mime-type (content-type) of documents. The + directive TypesConfig is used to specify a + file which also maps extensions onto mime types. The directives ForceType and SetHandler are used to associated all the files + in a given location (e.g. a particular directory) onto a particular + mime type or handler. + +
+ Files can have more than one extension, and the order of the
+ extensions is normally irrelevant. For example, if the file
+ welcome.html.fr
maps onto content type text/html and
+ language French then the file welcome.fr.html
will map
+ onto exactly the same information. The only exception to this is if an
+ extension is given which Apache does not know how to handle. In this
+ case it will "forget" about any information it obtained from
+ extensions to the left of the unknown extension. So, for example, if
+ the extensions fr and html are mapped to the appropriate language and
+ type but extension xxx is not assigned to anything, then the file
+ welcome.fr.xxx.html
will be associated with content-type
+ text/html but no language.

We ended up going to Opunake a bit later in the day so most of the shops in town were closed - but my Mum did stumble across this op shop and my mum asked the lady if she would mind staying open a while later so we could have a look around.
The building that the op shop is located in could do with a little bit of TLC, but I guess the rent must be pretty low for the store owner.
There were a lot of treasures inside for very good prices - much cheaper that stores here in Wellington. I ended up buying a wee make-up compact and a navy blue winter dress (perfect with orange tights!) here's a few photos I took inside the store. I get the feeling that my mum will be coming down to the shop quite a bit.
After a huge pub dinner we headed down to Opunake Beach for a walk - Opunake Beach is pretty well known as a surf beach and its pretty popular in summer. When we arrived there there were loads of people in the camp ground and although it was nearly 7pm the lifeguards were still on duty. Here's a few photos that we took when we went for our beach walk.
A few days later when our friends Nilanka and Paul picked us up from Mum and Dad's and on the way to the beach house we were staying at we stopped off at a lookout above Opunake Beach.

Utica Parks and Rec five-year plan nears completion
Officials call for public input on final draft
By Sarah Wojcik
Posted January 22, 2014
UTICA — For the past year, the city has been working to develop a new five-year parks, recreation and open space master plan. The new plan will guide park development and investments in recreation amenities through 2018.
The new plan includes a comprehensive community profile, updated administrative structure, detailed inventory of parks, new goals and objectives, and an action plan for investments and improvements.
In order to be eligible for state parks and recreation grants, municipalities must have an active, approved five-year master plan, said Macomb Planning and Economic Development Director Stephen Cassin. Utica last updated its plan in 2007.
The document will be available for public review and comment through Feb. 11. Residents can view the draft at www.cityofutica.org, and hard copies are available for review at Utica City Hall and the Utica Public Library, located at 7550 and 7530 Auburn Road, respectively.
A public hearing for input is scheduled for 7:45 p.m. Feb. 11 at the next City Council meeting at City Hall. Comments also may be mailed to Utica City Hall, Rec Plan Comments, 7550 Auburn Road, Utica, MI 48317.
The draft includes short- and long-term goals for Grant, Memorial and Heritage parks and the undeveloped 25-acre Utica Recreation Area that straddles the Clinton River in the northeast corner of the city.
Improvements include a connection of the Macomb Orchard Trail through Memorial Park, the Utica Recreation Area and River Bends Park in Shelby Township. The connection is possible because of a $1.9 million federal transportation enhancement grant, which will ultimately connect Richmond to Lake Saint Clair Metropark.
In 2014, the city also plans to add a handicapped-accessible comfort station at Heritage Park, as well as pedestrian connections between the neighborhood adjacent to Grant Park and the neighborhood near Eppler Junior High School, west of Van Dyke Avenue.
"If we haven't done what you think we needed to do, (the plan) is in its final draft, but we'll make amendments," Mayor Jacqueline Noonan said. "We're looking for input from preschoolers to the elderly as to what this city should be doing as far as the parks, recreation and open space master plan."
If the City Council approves the draft Feb. 11, the Parks and Recreation Department will adopt the plan Feb. 23 and submit it to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources by March 1, Noonan said.

Jewish World Review Sept. 17, 2009 / 28 Elul 5769 The Racism Card By Cal Thomas
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com |
When Barack Obama was elected president of the United States, some suggested that race played a factor in his success. People "wanted" to elect a black man president because of our history of slavery and the denial of civil rights for so many years to African-Americans. It is never "racism" to vote for someone because he is black. It is only racism to oppose the policies of a black Democrat. Every weekday NewsAndOpinion.com publishes what many in the media and Washington consider "must-reading". HUNDREDS of columnists and cartoonists regularly appear. Sign up for the daily update. It's free. Just click here.
Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, African-American like President Obama, grew up in Birmingham, Ala., at the time of the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing by members of the Ku Klux Klan, which killed some of her friends. She has more "street cred" than others who claim to have it, but she got no points from liberal Democrats when she ascended the ladder of power and influence. It was the same with Colin Powell. The Left strongly criticized Powell for adding credibility to the claim that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction thereby winning U.N. approval to use force, if necessary, against the Iraqi dictator. Were those who opposed Powell racist? Using the formulation now being applied to President Obama that opposition to any of his policies from health care, to record amounts of debt constitutes racism, they were.

WATCH AN INTERVIEW Peter Bergen interviews Ken Ballen about Terrorists In Love Watch |
Terrorists in love
A former federal prosecutor and congressional investigator, Ken Ballen spent five years as a pollster and a researcher with rare access—via local government officials, journalists, and clerics—interviewing more than a hundred Islamic radicals, asking them searching questions about their inner lives, deepest faith, and what it was that ultimately drove them to jihad. Intimate and enlightening, Terrorists in Love opens a fresh window into the realm of violent extremism as Ballen profiles six of these men—from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Saudi Arabia—revealing a universe of militancy so strange that it seems suffused with magical realism.
Mystical dreams and visions, the demonic figure of the United States, intense sexual repression, crumbling family and tribal structures—the story that emerges here is both shocking and breathtakingly complex. Terrorists in Love introduces us to men like Ahmad Al-Shayea, an Al Qaeda suicide bomber who survives his attack only to become fiercely pro-American; Zeddy, who trains terrorists while being paid by America's ally, the Pakistani Army; and Malik, Taliban leader Mullah Omar's personal seer. Lifting the veil on the mysterious world of Muslim holy warriors, Ballen probes these men's deepest secrets, revealing the motivations behind their deadly missions and delivering a startling new exploration of what drives them to violence and why there is yet an unexpected hope for peace. An extraordinarily gifted listener and storyteller, Ballen takes us where no one has dared to go—deep into the secret heart of Islamic fundamentalism, providing a glimpse at the lives, loves, frustrations, and methods of those whose mission it is to destroy us.

Lincoln Heritage Council: Reject the Boy Scouts of America's anti-gay policy
My name is Greg Bourke, and in August 2012, the Lincoln Heritage Council and Boy Scouts of America forced me to resign my position as Assistant Scoutmaster with Troop 325 in Louisville, KY. Despite five years of dedicated service to my troop, district, council and the BSA, it was determined that I had to go because I admitted that I was gay and as a result LHC said I "did not meet its membership requirements."
Photo above: Former Assistant Scoutmaster Greg Bourke and his son.
After being forcibly removed from my position, I received unanimous support from my Troop, Troop Committee, Church, Scouts, Scout Leaders and Scout Parents. The local newspaper published both a news article and an editorial showcasing the discrimination I suffered at the hands of the Lincoln Heritage Council and the BSA. In September 2012, I received a special "Legislative Citation" from the State of Kentucky House of Representatives honoring me and my dedication to Scouting and service to my community.
My partner and and I have been together for over 30 years, and we were legally married in Canada nine years ago. We have been very active members of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in Louisville, Kentucky for over 25 years.
We have two adopted children, ages 13 and 14, a girl and a boy. I have been a Girl Scout leader for seven years, and was a Cub/Boy Scout leader for over five years until I ws forced to resign. I have been fully trained by both the Girl Scouts of America and the Boy Scouts of America, passed numerous background checks, and have been what many consider a model Scout leader.
My son is currently a Life Rank Boy Scout, has completed all of his necessary Merit Badges, and is now working on his Eagle Project. I have been with him all the way on his journey to Eagle, but now the BSA has forced me to resign.
Please sign this petition and help let the Lincoln Heritage Council and Boy Scouts of America know that its discriminatory policy against gay leaders and youth must come to an end.
Among service organizations, the Boy Scouts are increasingly isolating themselves with their discriminatory policy. Organizations including the Girl Scouts, the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, as well as the 4H Club all welcome gay kids as well as adult leaders.
We love the Boy Scouts, but we can't support this policy. That's why we urge you to speak out against the ban on gay Scouts and leaders and adopt an inclusive policy like other troops, packs, councils, and lodges across the country have done -- so the Boy Scouts can maintain its relevancy, improve recruitment, and truly live by the principles it teaches its members.
NOTE: We encourage everyone to join this campaign, but if you're a current or former Scout or leader, please say so in the "Why People Are Signing" section. Thanks!
- Chief Scout Executive
Mr. Robert J Mazzuca - Chief Scout Executive
Mr. Wayne Brock - Lincoln Heritage Council
Barry G. Oxley, II, Scout Executive

Not really concerned with petty Republican-Democrat glove slapping duels.
There is a new day in America. We are ALL tired of living in fear, having corporate gluttons steal our money and send our jobs overseas, politicians and "contractors" profiting on war, and the status quo.
We need someone who is eloquent, thoughtful and not afraid to present new ideas to this generation going forward.
Sorry, McCain supporters, he does NOT inspire.
Obama is the choice for a renaissance of pride and hope in being American and projecting a strong image worldwide.
We will all find out in a few days. And then you can fuss about the choice he made. There is no pleasing everyone.
Would someone please tell me where John McCain got his experience running a country? All of the political offices he has held in the last 25 years have been in Congress, so where does all of this experience comes from? He has no more executive experience than Obama or, dare I say it, Hillary Clinton. If you want experience running a country, you'd have to pick from Jimmy Carter, G.H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Dan Quayle, Bob Dole, Al Gore, George Bush, or Dick Cheney. Out of those, only Carter, the 1st Mr. Bush, Quayle, Dole, Gore and Cheney have any eligibility left.
Please, please , please just don't let it be Hillary!
No matter who is chosen, Mr. Obama will appear even more unqualified for office. If Mr. Obama chooses someone with experience and qualifications, he will pale by comparison as he has none. If he chooses someone who is less qualified for office than he (good luck), it will become even more apparent that he suffers from poor judgment and is not ready to lead.
Ultimately, it does not matter who is chosen to round out the Democratic ticket because, at the top of the ticket is Mr. Obama, the most unqualified nominee ever chosen by the DNC.
Obama should choose Veep who is harder than Obama on jewesh (sp?) puppets like Lieberman, so that they go against the grain and struggle to keep Barack H ( yes H) Obama alive.
Senescent McNuts should retire.
Veterans for Obama.......................If you LOVE your country you would vote for anyone other then OBAMA. You must be a die hard democrat and don't know any better. You know some of us don't like morons like you either.
Nunn is not crazy. He wants to be able to live in Georgia with a good name. Plus can you see the business he would lose by supporting an anti- american black liberation canidate.
Obama's VP pick will be a surprise. I don't think it will be any of the names mentioned. I think, Nunn, and Biden will serve the country best being in the cabinet
"DR: It will silence the old man, and his Jewish puppet master Lieberman."
The Democrats are so self-destructive! How can anyone with a brain larger than a bird ask Obama to choose Hillary (and Bill) to return to the White House.
Such a choice will wake up even DEAD Republicans to return to the pools. Let the active Hillary supporters understand that Hillary (or Bill) is NOT fit to return to that White House.
Like Bill, McCain is loaded with past sins that will forever hunt America, if he were to be President. Cindy McCain stole someone else's husband.
Whats going on? Have people forgotten the relationship that John McCain had with Charles Keaton...( The Keaton Five ) and how people got rip off by the Saving And Loan scam....Peole loss their life savings, thanks to John McCain in his attempt to block convictions of his buddy Charles Keaton...
If he picked hillary, would you clinton supports really vote for him? He'd be putting hillary on the ticket solely for your votes. Don't think for a second that he'd actually take her advice much less speak to her once in office.
The supposition that Barack has been turned down is insanity. That there is serious deliberation is the the reality. No one can accuse Senator Obama of being inexperienced. He's smart, he's a US Senator and he needs no help from an older colleague any more than President Clinton did.
He will make the right choice and you who are mean spirited and bigoted (and we know who you are!) will see the greatest presidential enlightenment since JFK–if you're old enough to remember!!
I have 2 choices–Hillary Clinton or Caroline Kennedy.
Ah ha!!! What about a conference call?
Thats twenty three million dollars of debt. Surely, if Hillary controlled eighteen million voters as advertised, all she'd have to do is solicit a$1.30 from each of them to settle the debt. She hasn't settled it yet, what does that tell us?
maybe that Aryers guy will show up...........
and together they will rule the universe
Nunn never had a shot. The DNC has no time for moderates in the party.
The DNC is moving just left of Mao.
I keep reading these experience comments and it makes me wonder who has experience being POUTS. The only people with such experience are former Presidents. They all learn on the job because there is no way to be prepared for the challenges that emerge. What did Lincoln do that prepared him to win the Civil War? What exactly were Teddy Roosevelt's accomplishments before being President? Look at the ones who have a lot of GOVERNMENT experience, like George HW Bush – they are not successful because they don't have fresh ideas. Decades of service squeeze it out of you. I'll take someone with intelligence and good judgement who knows more than war war war.
I just got a text... it's ME! hahaha...
I trust Obama's decision on this... He gets my vote no matter what! =)
Obama `08!
Colin Powell?
I'd prefer him as President.
However, Spencer's cabinet line up appeals to me too.
Please put your differences aside and stand behind Obama.
We need to vote for him in order to fix the economy.
It shouldn't matter if Hillary is or isn't on the ticket. Right now the important thing is getting our candidate into the white house and winning the election this November.
Please Vote this November.
Remember nothing will be fix if you vote for McCain.
I've noticed people posting in groups about how much of a "loser" Obama is. Though it seems to be the behaviour of somebody who is a loser and hasn't much else to do that would spend hours of their day making the same empty commends over and over again on web postings.
McCain is a real person. He has character. He has experience.
Why would we want to elect an untried and unexperienced rock star type
who wants us to believe he is better. He has no plan and nothing going except has excited many with a change platform. What are the changes? Spell them all out. Let us decide if he is a person of change. Let us decide if he is anything other than another one wanting to add President to his resume.

Marvin Gaye was an iconic two-time Grammy-winning American singer, songwriter, composer, multi-instrumentalist, and record producer who gained international fame as an artist on the Motown record label in the 1960s and 1970s. He had a twin brother, which was revealed at the 2006 Music Festival. His name is Scott Barth, and he is currently a conducter in Bahrain School. The reason he was kept a secret was because he was white, but Marvin was black, so his mom hid him and sent him to a foster home. Marvin, on the other hand, was kept. He grew up and begun his career at Motown in 1961. He quickly became Motown's top solo male artist and scored numerous hits during the 1960s, among them "Stubborn Kind of Fellow", "How Sweet It Is ", "I Heard It Through the Grapevine", and several hit duets with Tammi Terrell, including "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" and "You're All I Need to Get By", before moving on to his own form of musical self-expression. Gaye is notable for fighting the hit-making, but creatively restrictive, Motown record-making process, in which performers and songwriters and record producers were generally kept in separate camps.

Ozzfest 07
2007-08-26 14:33:53 by Popop878
Friday last day was Ozzfest in Pittsburgh. I was expecting it to be decent with the bands that were there, me not really fond of them. It was amazing though, the mosh pit that Lamb of God made was the biggest anyone has ever seen! It was atleast 50 feet by 30 feet.
They did a good job, Mr. Lordi is a pyromaniac and was taking props from boxes and they either bursted out flames or blew up. Even though I haven't heard of them, they were great.
~Static X~
They did OK, I wasn't really listening to them because I was wandering around to get food and using the bathroom. But from what I was listening to they did a decent job.
~Lamb of God~
Out of all of the other bands ( discluding Ozzy ), they were the best. Like I said above, they made a huge 50 feet by 30 feet mosh pit cirlce with people just running around it. It also started a few fires out in the lawn. I only heard them from GHII ( Guitar Hero 2, if you are that stupid ), and I liked them.
Obviously, he was the best there. With Rob Zombie's bass player, Blasko - Black Label Society's, Zakk Wylde - and people who I don't remember on drums and keyboard, made it the second best Ozzfest I've seen with 2005 being the best. Wylde had a guitar solo that stretched on for around 14 minutes which lead right into the Star Spangled Banner. They opened with Bark at the Moon - one of my favorites. But the choice of playing slow and bad songs, made me decide of leave. Left right after Zakk Wylde's guitar solo because he went into another slow song.
Well, that was Ozzfest 07 for Pittsburgh, if anyone was there, and I missed some good stuff, comment.
- I would like to know about the bands on the second stage - by the time i got there, it was full and the last band was on.
