She gave us a close up on Instagram, and a peek at what it would look like at night, under the lights. In that situation, it's harder to see the flesh-colored arms and neckline, which is a good thing.. It looks creative. I think I like it. Those beaded tatters have a Project Runway vibe to them, don't they? Let's give Julie a passing grade on this one, and move on. Because once again we've got a lot of serious things to chat about.
In the minutes leading up to the live show kick-off, it became clear that there might be problems off screen. And the problems related to guess who....Sam, the Problem Child. Instead of getting ready and sitting on the couch with her co-stars, Sam was in the Diary Room threatening to leave and crying.
On the one hand, if she doesn't want to be there, I'd like to see her get the hell out. But on the other hand, losing a house guest due to a quit screws up the entire production schedule, especially before a live show. The crew works hours and hours to prepare for these events, and then someone like Sam throws a tantrum and causes a big distraction.
Last summer, they told Josh that if he touched the doorknob in the DR, he would be out of the game. But now it sounds like Sam got away with that and more.
But back to the show, that some of the players actually want to play. Like Haleigh, who got the opening camera shot as Julie discussed the big week she had, winning the Hacker Comp and all.
Most of the fans think that we didn't see a wide shot of the group because of Sam. It turns out that Sam wasn't even on the couch yet.
Because the CBS tweeter let us know this, just a few minutes later. You think Allison Fucking Grodner doesn't have OTHER STUFF to do as the live show kicks off? You think she wanted to spend one second of attention placating this PESKY ATTENTION-SEEKING HAYSEED?
I'm sorry to call Sam names. but this is kind of a big deal. She's making a mess of the game, like a drunken Vegas rube who ruins the entire poker table's game by taking too many cards. I think they should threaten her with a lawsuit, or maybe tell her they are going to call the police in Virginia and have them search her trailer for contraband, so she gets a really special welcome home from the authorities.
(If I played, I'd play dirty.)
She was a problem all afternoon in that house, making Kaycee break down the voting plan over and over, basically accusing her of trying to fool her. She spent a lot of time snuggled up with Fessy in bed, whining and crying. She's out on Tyler, and I think that was the source of much of her dismay. But more about that tomorrow, maybe. I'm sick of talking about her already.
The show kicked off with the end of the PoV ceremony, and then we saw the "altercation" that Bayleigh talked about so much, when she said Tyler "yelled at her and was rude". Well, as suspected, that is not what happened at all. Tyler wasn't his usual laid-back self, but he certainly wasn't yelling at her, even though Bayleigh was getting quite loud with him.
He was barely raising his voice as he told Bayleigh to go ahead and cancel his vote, because he knows she's the hacker.
Tyler: I'll just say it right now publicly that I plan to vote you out this week.
Um.....reality called Bayleigh, but you were too busy listening to yourself talk to hear the phone ring. So...as expected, the drama of Tyler "going off" on Bayleigh turned out to be a bunch of hogwash. Just like the way she went crazy after Tyler had the nerve to say "Good Morning" to her on Tuesday.
Bayleigh is out of her goddamn mind. How was she in charge of crews and passengers on cross-country flights? Can you imagine getting on a flight with your family for Thanksgiving holiday and seeing Bayleigh up front, issuing passenger orders into that little hand held microphone? I can just imagine her slinging that little plastic cup full of ice over at me as the beverage cart barrels down the aisle. Your foot better not be in that aisle when she charges through, son. At least those pilots can lock themselves in the cabin where they're safe.
Finally we see a wide shot of the cast, and Sam is there in her coveralls. Anybody who watches the live feeds knows that Sam likes whiskey and weed, so if Production isn't going to let her leave, I propose they keep her sedated to the point where she can't mess up anybody's game, but not to the Metta World Peace level, though. Because Sam is fucking up the whole works right now.
Yesterday when she was crying to Fessy before the show started, she said "I keep thinking things that are all made up and aren't even real". She's paranoid to the point of danger, accusing people of doing things that might be wrong, or might be just people playing Big Brother. Remember this is the girl who basically called out Haleigh for being a harlot. And that is far from the truth, for sane people.
One day I hope to see a Big Brother "Behind the Scenes" show where Allison and her team dish some real dirt about what's happened backstage, and who did it. I want Allison to NAME NAMES.
Then it was finally time to meet Mr. Pectacular's Granny, who came on the scene with her walker and loud voice. I knew something was up with Granny, even though we never got to see her on the live feeds. Brett didn't seem thrilled about it, in a way I couldn't place. He seemed a little disrespectful in what he said about Granny's visits, in a manner that wouldn't be right if "Granny" was really an old lady.
So the fact that Granny is actually that same fat guy who came in the house to yell at Rachel kind of makes sense. And now it's okay for Brett to manhandle Granny's saddlebags like this.
Did Production count how many pills Granny had in her bag? Are they sure that she left the house with all of them?
Because a bottle of prescription pills would be a highly coveted asset in that house, even if they are just Granny's heart pills.
Fun Fact: During BB9, Adam, who eventually won the entire season, told one of his buddies in the house that he brought in some Oxy's (or whatever) inside of a rolled up sock, and just a minute later they had an outdoor lockdown and Adam's pills were found and confiscated. I'll bet someone will find a pill in that bathroom somewhere next summer. They found a shirt behind one of the beds one season that belonged to a girl from the summer before, so you never know.
SPECIAL UPDATE: While I was vacuuming today, I thought about that black camisole top they found----the Twins from BB17 found it and the feeders figured it out it belonged to Amber from BB16. Maybe Caleb took it from her to snuggle up with in bed. Remember how he used to wear one of her sundresses like a fucking scarf? Whew....good times. Crazy house guests, but good times. Tragedy + Time = Comedy, I guess.
The guy who played Granny is really a great comedic actor. His accent and mannerisms were hilarious. Granny had been looking all over for Brett when she found him in the DR.
Granny could use a better brassiere, though. That much is clear.
And here is the big musical number in the backyard, with the Health Nut and the entire cast dancing along to the Space Pecs jingle. It really was the Big Finish, and not a moment too soon.
It really was a few minutes too late. This segment felt rather long to me and could have been shortened a little, and crowbarred into last night's episode, where it belonged. Just my opinion.
I thought this segment was too long, too. If I didn't know better, I would think the drama was manufactured, but it wasn't. I'm not sure if Bayleigh suspected that Haleigh might be the Hacker, but she did put the pressure on her with her comments, didn't she?
It would have been nice for Haleigh to give Bayleigh a heads up that they were going to have this Very Important Talk, which would surely be featured on the TV show. You know, so she could get ready. To be on Tee Vee. For a long, painful segment.
This little sit down happened earlier in the week, on Tuesday, I think, which is when the plan for the House Meeting started to germinate.
And here is the beginning of the House Meeting on Wednesday morning, when everyone was in their place and the presentation was orderly.
And this is how the House Meeting ended, with Bayleigh shrieking at Tyler with a mouth full of blood, telling him that he "made her life in the house a living hell". Oh, and she also shrieked that Tyler was "a fucking animal".
Yeah. If you were going to call Tyler Crispen a name, I don't think it would ever be that one. He's such a gentle, nice guy. I already discussed the House Meeting here, if you want details. I'm tired of talking about this, too.
And then it was time for the live voting and eviction. One of these ladies will be leaving the house tonight, seeing the outside world for the first time since late June.
I think we can all agree that Angie Rockstar is starting to look like a Rockstar, after losing at least ten to fifteen pounds this summer, including her week following Jessie's Fitness and Food Plan. It's not her fault she had to wear that costume---that's part of her punishment. But she could have worn some underwear with it. JC had some things to say about that later in the evening, but I'll skip that part of my commentary. You'll have to discuss that on some other website.
I do wish she could have tag-teamed with Brett to let him make her speech for her. She's wearing a wrestling outfit, so that's not unreasonable, right? Has anyone ever done that? If Production was going to approve that move for anyone, it would have been Brett. But don't worry...we're going to hear from Brett in just a moment.
Bayleigh looks lovely tonight, of course, and began her speech by saying she wasn't going to go off and say crazy things about everybody, even though that had apparently been her plan for some time. She gave a shout out to the "Dayton Dynasty" and also to Swaggy C. Maybe you've heard of him.
Bayleigh: Things got real aggressive this week. I'll go ahead and be the bigger person and apologize to you Tyler. Yelling isn't acceptable.
That's kind of a backhanded apology. You know, the part about saying she'll be the one to be the "bigger person". That's what you say when you are trying to make it clear that you are superior to the other party. No surprises there. She did say she's "fallen in love with each person in the house" holding her gaze to the side of the couch to her right.
Before we voted, it was time to hear from the Hacker, to see whose vote got the kibosh this week.
The Hacker clips are so damn cheesy. I was so embarrassed for myself, having to watch it But I know they probably do it for the 12-and-under crowd, who might think there's a hooded monster in the Diary Room during the live show.
But nope, that's just Tyler, wearing Angela's new Hilton Head hoodie that she got in her HoH basket. I guess they are sharing it now. He was planning to vote to evict Bayleigh wearing it, but of course it was no surprise that Tyler's vote got squashed by
Spoiler Alert: We're going to be crapping all over Production's audio crew tonight, so let me go ahead and warm up by mentioning that as the Hacker's Scary Segment ends, there is a weird beat of silence before the show cranks back into gear. Remember the old tape recorders we used to have as children? It felt to me like they pressed the STOP button on a tape recorder at the end of the Hacker's statement.
But if I were Tyler's friends, I would be grabbing sound bytes of the Hacker saying Tyler's name, because you can all totally use that to do fun stuff on his phone. Or whatever the kids will be doing this fall with their electronic devices.
This is a tape recorder, by the way. Mine had a little handheld microphone, but it looks like this model has a built in voice recorder. My cousin and I used to use my microphone to put on shows for ourselves.
I would totally believe that the BB audio team is using this back there in the Production studio. Along with a three-foot water bong.
Other than pining after Haleigh, and making funny height jokes with JC, Fessy doesn't have much of a BB storyline, but maybe that will change this week. I'm only showing his picture here because this week his Diary Room vote was of special interest to me. Fessy voted to evict Bayleigh, which probably surprised the CBS casual viewers, because they thought Fessy was her friend.
The CBS tweeter told us during the show that the audience was chastised for making noise during the live voting. I heard Fessy talk about it later, so I paid special attention this morning to the sound coming through in the Diary Room when he was in there. I could hear some light chatter as he placed his vote, but nothing too big.
But when Scottie voted to evict Bayleigh, the audience reaction was much louder. And Scottie is no dummy. He knows what that might mean....that the audience is pulling for the Underdog Alliance, which he is much happier to be associated with after tonight's festivities.
Just because it's happened before doesn't mean it needs to happen every fucking season. In fact, that should have prevented it from happening again years ago.
And here's Haleigh, who of course can never look in the right place while giving insincere compliments. Tonight she said Julie looked "astounding", which is an adjective much closer to the mark, but how would Haleigh know that if she's not even looking in Julie's direction?
Haleigh voted to evict Bayleigh, too. There was some drama surrounding that, because Scottie apparently told Haleigh and Fessy what the majority vote would be, so they could switch their votes to match it, avoiding the flipped vote confusion that has plagued Foute all summer. JC had planned to tell Fessy about his vote just before the live show, but he wasn't the one to share the majority vote information.
Which brings us to Sam, whom the CBS tweeter would have us believe was a crying mess as the show began, saying she refused to cast a vote for anyone.
After the live show, Sam droned on and on and on about how she voted to evict Angie so that Bayleigh wouldn't go out on a unanimous vote. And this confession involved a bunch of tears and copious hugs. Fessy is her go-to for man hugs now. She's off Tyler entirely, it seems, after Tyler finally confessed to her about his Cloud power. (I missed watching that, but it did happen.) She was mad that Tyler hasn't mentioned it all these weeks, while she told him about her power immediately.
(But Sam says she's not playing this game, and Tyler wants to win. Sam can barely grasp the most basic aspects of the weekly game play. I don't blame Tyler for not telling her.)
JC was somber as he entered the Diary Room, while the audience giggled. They always do when JC walks it. He tickles them, I think.
JC: This one is for you Rachel. I vote to evict Bayleigh.
Then he stood up as is customary on JC's exit from the DR, and exploded with a special message, but instead of a Public Service Message, he gave a shout out to all the party people in Miami. Or something like that. It was unclear, as Kaitlyn would say.
After a commercial break, Julie announced the vote to evict Bayleigh, six to one. As Bayleigh stood up to leave, she made a statement that wasn't bleeped, even though they did so much bleeping during the HoH comp just a few minutes later.
Bayleigh: You guys can all hug me now. I'm no longer the big scary black lady.
Was that really necessary? I think it was totally inappropriate. Bayleigh's exit from the game had nothing to do with her ethnicity, and everything to do with the fact that she refuses to take responsibility for any of her mistakes. There's always an excuse for everything, and that excuse is always something other than Bayleigh.
But she hugged each and every person, and left like a
And this is the first exit in weeks, maybe even this season, where the person leaving wasn't so angry that they forgot to wave to the audience on their way out. This was Pageant Patty Bayleigh, who knows how to walk a runway wearing her sash and crown. Maybe that's why she always refers to herself as Queen Bayleigh.
Now it all makes sense.
Look Andy, JC is always at the front of the group so he can see. And Fessy is always right behind him, so you can be mad at him, too. JC is a showman and the crowd loves him.
Julie wasted no time jumping right into things with Bayleigh, saying that the Bayleigh we see tonight was totally different than the one we saw at the house meeting.
Julie: We saw that you LOST YOUR MIND on Tyler...why?
Bayleigh: I don't care, girl. I'm a true Gemini, when you back me into a corner that's what's gonna happen.
OK. A few things here.
1. You don't call Julie Chen "girl" on live TV, Bayleigh.
2. Of course it's everyone else's fault that Bayleigh lost it, because they "backed her into a corner".
3. I tried to count how many times Bayleigh told Julie Chen to "shut up" during this interview and failed. She was well into the two-digits by the time I lost count. But that shouldn't be a surprise, because she has YELLED Shut Up at just about everyone in the house this week.
Julie went into another tough question, asking why Bayleigh told Rachel about her Identify Theft Power. Bayleigh interrupted Julie in the middle of her sentence to answer, because SHE was ready to speak.
Bayleigh: I didn't mean to do that Julie....but she was freaking out so I just wanted to shut Rachel up.
(Of course you did Bayleigh. Of course you did. No one can speak but you.)
If I'm offended on behalf of Julie Chen for the way Bayleigh spoke to her in this interview, I KNOW Julie caught the disrespect, too. But I'm sure Bayleigh's proactive and self-assured speaking skills were a relief after what happened during last week's live eviction.
(And STUNNING in this picture.)
Then Julie disclosed information that to me was a clear violation of the game, giving Bayleigh not only news about the outside world as it pertains to her, but also valuable information about who is working together in the house.
First, she told Bayleigh that Swaggy C has been to her parents' house. I know this thrilled Bayleigh, but to me she didn't need to know that since she's on the Jury now. And she'll be talking about that to all of the other Jurors, who likely will not get to hear updates on stage about what their families and hookups have been doing in their absence.
Then, as the segment ended, Julie told the crowd that Haleigh, Angie and Fessy needed to win the HoH if they want to keep their alliance together. So now Bayleigh knows that Brett, Scottie and JC weren't really on board with their group. We all know that, but Bayleigh didn't know that.
===> How can Bayleigh have the chance to return to the game, knowing that info? And since Julie didn't tell her who the one person was that voted to keep her, a Jury Buy Back competition seems likely.
And then it was time for the goodbye messages. And public speaking is just not Angela's forte. Some people just don't have the gift of public gab. Maybe it's the monotone. Maybe it's the lack of inflection. Maybe it's the lack of expression. In any case, you can see how Bayleigh received Angela's sweet message about how much she loves Bayleigh and knows they will be great friend outside the house.
This type of goodbye message to someone you SAVAGED in your speeches is a rookie mistake.
But I'm happy to report that Tyler knows what's up with goodbye messages. Bayleigh was all ready to mock and hate on him until he started speaking.
Tyler: Bayleigh....when two Big Players go up against each other, one of them has to go.
Bayleigh immediately let us all know she was flattered that Tyler considered her to be a Big Player.
(Just yesterday she ERUPTED at Tyler after he said "Respect....that's what you want, isn't it?")
Tyler: And I know you have that power that you're not going to use in my favor. I know now that you're going to use it against me, so I need you to leave this week.
Bayleigh nodded while Tyler said this, falling to Tyler's one-on-one charms once again. Look at her right hand...I'm not a body language expert, but that's a positive tell, I think. So now we all know that if Tyler continues to go deep into this game, he plans to own his game to the Jury. And his message here is perfect, because he didn't spill his guts about his alliances, knowing she might be coming back, and also other potential jurors might be offended by Tyler's true intentions in the house. Assuming these choices were intentional, this was a good showing by Tyler. He even mentioned maybe being friends with Bayleigh. And he looks so cute on camera, which I know Bayleigh noticed.
And then there's Brett, who did such great work with Bayleigh after she was nominated in such a brutal fashion by Angela. Brett was going undercover as a free agent in the game after the PoV comp, so he listened to Bayleigh and offered support, which we all thought was a great Jury strategy.
But Brett may have blown that up with his goodbye message, as he couldn't help himself from throwing it in her face that she wanted a unanimous vote to evict him last week, and now she's in that boat herself now.
Brett: Poor choices, Bayleigh.....poor choices.
We could say the same thing about your speech, Brett.
The original Virgin King from BBOTT fame, Scott Dennis, was the first one to enter the BB house in his season too, later falling to the First Curse. But Scott didn't have a choice...in BBOTT the live feeds never stopped. Everyone watching saw Scott walk in the house all alone, later joined by the other house guests, one-by-one. Production picked him to go in first in his season.
Bayleigh was in a group of four who were the first to enter the house this season, including Tyler, who knows all about the First Curse and made sure he wasn't the first one to walk in. Or the second, either, for good measure. As far as Bayleigh goes, she's not out of the running until the Jury Buy Back is resolved. She can still come back in the house, but winning a vote from the Jury if she makes Final Two is another matter.
When we come back from the break, we immediately go to the HoH comp, which is a "Knock out" style comp where the house guests compete two-by-two, with the loser banished to the side, where Angela is serving up a smoking red jumpsuit. The winner picks two new players, which is a strategic choice that can expose the true alliances.
In this comp, the players will see a long hashtag and three pictures. Their goal is to figure out what the hashtag is trying to say and then pick the correct picture. The first two players were selected randomly.
This is #HashtagTooLong!, and the first two players are Sam and JC. Sure, I believe that's a random pick.....right. Absolutely no stakes for either one of them, knock-out wise, so of course they're going first. It's absolutely random.
After a long moment staring at the screen, JC hit the button on C, winning the round, since the hashtag says "I am shocked how cute they look in bed together".
JC: Oh, they think we look cute!
I don't want to take anything away from JC's win, and cute picture with Fessy, but look at who he's playing against. JC dashed over to sit down with the other players still in the comp, while Julie Chen nagged him about selecting the next two competitors. He was flustered as he stood up, waving his arms around before picking Tyler and Angie Rockstar.
There was a long, long pause as Tyler and Angie stared at the screen. I stared, too, and felt as confused as the two of them probably felt. Tyler buzzed in for B, which is a slop can pyramid. Tyler was wrong, because the sentence is "I would totally eat that if only it wasn't neon", which would be the pink neon doughnut pictured in A.
Tyler grimaced, and Angie smiled as she picked Kaycee and Brett to compete against each other.
Kaycee and Brett tried to make sense of this jumbled mass of letters, which should be a lesson to everyone on social media....if no one can understand it, you're wasting your time.
Kaycee stared at the alphabetical mess and then pushed "A", and then she must have seen the error of her ways because she piled some fresh errors right on top of it, cursing and causing the screen on the live TV show, viewed by six million people, to cut to a bubbling view of the fish tank. When the cameras returned, Julie reminded them to watch her language, and Kaycee leaned over to make eye contact with her crew on the sidelines, grinning like a naughty peanut.
The hashtag is "Hamlet is perfect to keep you entertained in the Have Not room", so the answer was "C". It seems that the best way to solve these is to start at the end of the hashtag to see if you can pick out the end of the sentence, and then look to see if more than one of the pictures fit the theme. As the winner by default, Brett chose Haleigh and Fessy to compete next.
This hashtag is a big fat mess, but I'm sure Fessy is right on top of it. Not.
The sentence is "Hands down the funniest faces of the season are on the emoji pillows", and of course these aren't real hashtags. At least, I hope not. I don't even care enough to check, though. Haleigh buzzed in with the correct answer, "B", and picked Brett and Scottie to compete next.
Before you move on, be sure to notice Brett's picture on the left, with the T-Rex arms, because Brett sure did. Brett took special notice about every picture he was in tonight.
I haven't mentioned it, but of course Haleigh is wearing Kaycee's Rainbow punishment costume tonight, for some strange reason. But the real reason I took this picture is because I noticed the Andy Warhol knockoff picture of Steve, Winston, Swaggy and Kaitlyn in the background. That is so great and should be auctioned off to the fans.
Brett and Scottie stare at the screen, and I have a hard time believing Scottie didn't know what the sentence was immediately. The sentence was "Grooming is easier when you have a friend to shave your back", and Brett selected the correct picture as "C", sending Scottie over to the side with the other losers.
I don't think Scottie wanted to win HoH, because I'm sure they all think next week is a Double Eviction. But it's not, because Julie would have pimped that out at the end of this show, to build excitement and increased viewership. Brett picked Haleigh and Angie Rockstar to face off next, but his options were quite limited at that point.
Haleigh and Angie Rockstar began their face off to see who survives, and the sentence is "Do not laugh just because I am bending over stretching", and the correct answer is "B", which Haleigh chooses correctly. And the picture is one of Brett, bending over to show his best side.
Later, Brett brought up his two pictures in this competition, saying sarcastically that it's great to know what is being put out there by the fans. Brett was thrilled though, so don't be fooled. Brett brought this up over and over in the hours following the live show, so proud of his Jim Carrey-like antics.
Haleigh selected Brett and JC to face off next.
I was confident that Brett could win this, and was already relishing the potential splendor of a Brett Robinson HoH week, but the sentence was long and hard, spelling out "That feeling when you have the time to beat". And Brett picked "C", which was incorrect. The correct answer was "A", so Brett exited the stage, leaving only Haleigh and JC to play for HoH.
Later, Brett wasn't sure that he played three rounds in this comp, because he only remembered playing twice. Several of the house guests say they sort of blacked out during the comp, due to nervousness and excitement.
The audience cheered when Julie announced it was down to just JC and Haleigh. Haleigh noticed this, telling the group later that she knew the fans were on their side.
WAIT: Are you confident about JC's chances? Look at the picture below, and the picture above. JC hasn't moved an inch. Maybe he's asleep. And maybe he only won the first round because Sam didn't want to win the first round.
The sentence here is "If you want the power app put your hand here", and the answer was "C", of course, and Haleigh knew it. JC might have known it, too, and later apologized to everyone for "not knowing the rules" of the game. (Much less having a different primary language.)
And then it was over, with Fessy rushing over to lift Haleigh up in the air. Just after the live show ended, Kaycee and Angela were grousing about it in the lounge, and Kaycee said Fessy would be on a power trip soon, now that Haleigh is in control.
Everyone stood in line to congratulate Haleigh, even Sam, who can't stand Haleigh. Later Sam was overheard saying that she refused to "suck her dick, just because she's HoH". But spoiler alert, Sam cut a late-night deal with Haleigh for safety, and even made her breakfast this morning, delivered to the HoH room by Angie.
So, Sam may know EXACTLY what she's doing in there.
After the commercial, Julie had some topics to discuss with the house guests, and as they watched her face on the screen, it became clear something was wrong. They held their hands up to their ears, giving Julie the international signal that they can't hear her speak.
Julie: Can you hear me now?
House guests: No.
Julie: Okay....good night house guests!
House guests: ...............................
Julie: Well, live TV, you gotta love it!
Julie told us that the Hacker competition would take place this weekend, and we'd see it on the Sunday night show. And next week we're having a plain old single eviction show. I wonder what Julie was going to talk to the house guests about? Chatting about the Hacker comp? Maybe asking a few random questions from the fans?
Do you think she was going to announce that the Identity Theft power has left the house and expired? Even though everyone knows that is the case, the CBS casual fans might not know, and someone needs to tell them.
But right now Julie has some time to kill, so she sends us back to the house, where we can eavesdrop on the house guests for a few minutes. The cameras focused on Fessy and Angie Rockstar hugging each other, but that's boring. Right now the fans want to see the pissed off players, the ones who are not happy about Haleigh's HoH win.
So they zero in on this bunch of house guests, but it's clear that it's not a family-friendly conversation.
Because the cameras had to flee to the fish tank, probably while the Health Nut said some nasty curse words.
The cameras returned to Haleigh, who announced she's going to change her clothes. We saw her a few seconds ago doing the same thing that she's doing now, with her back to the camera, and we had to return now, because desperate reality producers sometimes need to take desperate measures.
They found JC pacing around the kitchen as the show closed. JC likes to curse, too, but with any luck the CBS casuals with the sensitive ears won't be able to decipher his words.
The pre-jury evictees are in Orlando this week for a big annual reality charity event. I think all of them but Steve are down there, having fun together and making new friends. Here they are with BB3's Jason Guy, who is now a local news personality in Orlando. He's so grown up now, with a wife and several kids. I've seen him on TV down there, and it's a strange feeling, after getting to know him so well on the live feeds so many years ago.
I'm not sure if Swaggy will ever lower himself to hang out with his cast mates. He certainly seems to feel superior to them, tweeting constantly about how he's more relevant than anyone else who has been voted out of the house.
To me, it's cooler NOT to point that out, that his name keeps coming up on the CBS episodes, but that may drop drastically now that Bayleigh's not in the game.
I'll bet it's surreal for them to reconnect again, having that unique connection when they see each other again in a strange place, watching the rest of the house guests on TV.
This is a cute video of Rachel and Winston dancing, before Winston spills his drink on her. I'm sure you can find it on this person's Twitter account. Winston seems like a lot of fun outside of the game. It's a better place for him, I think. I noticed some girl from The Challenge trying to hook it up with him on Twitter a few weeks ago....I'll bet he's like Reality Chum in those shark-infested waters.
And these two old-timers are in Orlando too. Kevin is having such a good time at all of these events, and he looks so happy and healthy. It's hard to believe he's 57, isn't it?
And note that this picture was taken by Swaggy C, who is only hanging out with the big BB stars, apparently.

Baking For Flavor and Kaffeehaus
Baking For Flavor and Kaffeehaus (post #62593)
I just got 2 new cookbooks--Lisa Yockelson's " Baking for Flavor " and Rick Rodgers'
" Kaffeehaus." The Lisa Yockelson one is interesting because of her approach to
intensifying flavors in baking. For example she recommends intensifying vanilla
flavor by scraping vanilla bean seeds into a bottle of vanilla extract and letting it sit
for 5 days before using it . She has some interesting charts showing a flavor, what it
it is compatible with, what it contrasts with and what intensifies it. I haven't tried any
recipes yet but they look wonderful.
"Kaffeehaus " has everything I never wanted to know about coffee houses in
Vienna, Budapest and Prague but the recipes look great-- particularly the rehrucken.
Has anyone used either of these cookbooks yet?
I can't remember today what it was I couldn't remember yesterday

Beautiful photography. An incredible amount of background information on
coffeehouses, jause, cakes and pastries, customs and gorgeous recipes. It's
obvious a great deal of research went into this.
Hope your copy comes quickly and I'd love to hear your opinion.
I can't remember today what it was I couldn't remember yesterday

So, I no longer offer the cute "prop & pose in a basket" kind of newborn sessions, opting to stay true to lifestyle photography. But when one of your oldest friends (and by oldest I mean longest b/c she's younger than me!) asks to photograph her new baby, in any way that I can, I had to say YES! So I told her – if baby Penelope happens to fall asleep & let me pose her – we'll try for some of those shots. Well lo & behold…cutiepatootie was a great little sleeper for me!
With Christina in the military & stationed in Alaska, I haven't seen her in ages, so it was great to catch up! I also got to love on their two doggies – Porter & Murphy, who are thrilled to have a new little sister 🙂
Christina+Tony – you have one BEEAAAAUUUUTIFUL little girl! I'm so glad I got to catch up with you, and meet your little nugget! Thank you!!
Much Love, ♥ tPoz

Renowned US jazz singer 'excited' to take up Javett music residency
Helm Hammonds, a professor of jazz studies at North Carolina Central University in the United States and a Fulbright senior music specialist, has been praised by the late musician and educator Dr Billy Taylor as a "highly imaginative, adventurous musician" and by pianist Stanley Cowell as "a singer with all the right stuff … with an expansive vision".
She has released six solo albums, and has amassed a wealth of professional and academic accolades – including a stint as the United States State Department's jazz ambassador to South-Eastern Africa and as president of the International Women in Jazz organisation.
Now, in August and September, students in the University's Jazz Studies programme will be enriched by this consummate artist's technical prowess and breadth of expression as she embarks on a series of jazz concerts, workshops, symposia and masterclasses. She will also lecture on subjects such as improvisation, directing ensembles, composition and arranging, while mentoring UP's jazz students individually.
"It's all very exciting (and humbling)," Helm Hammonds wrote on her Facebook page after arriving in South Africa to take up her residency, which forms part of the inaugural Javett Music Awards. "UP has such a beautiful campus and is a historic university."
The Javett Art Centre at the University of Pretoria is due to open its doors at the University's campus in Hatfield in 2019.
UP Department of Music head Alexander Johnson believes that Helm Hammonds will add tremendous value to an already exceptional department, and says he looks forward to her "unleashing her special brand of magic here".
"Lenora is a musician of rare talent and quality," Johnson says. "Her academic reputation and standing are exceptional, and her contribution to jazz has been, and continues to be, profound, insightful and deeply enriching."
Courtesy of the University's first Javett Jazz Artist-in-Residence, students can look forward to a month of enlightening educational experiences infused with Helm Hammonds's trademark down-to-earth approach to building bridges through music.

Mark your calendars: Monday, July 24, 2017
Time: 4 to 8 pm
Location: Aaron & Heather Jone's home, 61478 Ducan Lane, Bend
Click here to RSVP!
The difference neighborhood associations make in this world?
The associations' members' work is voluntary and is focused on improving the livability of the neighborhood. The goal of a neighborhood association (NA) is to ensure and increase democratic participation in the city. NAs rely on the participation of its residents to set the agenda. In short, what you put in is what you get out.
The Bend CEP's initial planning workshop is a half-day strategy workshop to craft a shared vision/strategies for your organization for the next two years. We will use this, alongside the results of your organization's Capacity Index (OCI), to determine your organization's learning and development plan (ODP).
This plan reflects your commitment and will help inform the kind of technical support that will be made available to you during the Civic Equity Project.
This workshop is the second stage of what has been referred to as the 'Scan n' Plans'.
Participants in this workshop will contribute to the creation of the following products:
- A two-year practical vision for what impact your organization wants to work towards.
- Rough strategies for how to achieve key elements of that vision.
- An organizational development plan (ODP) reflecting your organization's commitment to improve in key capacity areas.
During this four hour workshop we will spend:
30 min Reviewing Overview Documents and framing our Current Reality
1 1/2 Hours Creating our Practical Vision
30 min Discussing Strategies to move it forward.
30 min Reviewing the OCI findings and discussing options for how to address
1 hour Creating your Organizational Development Plan
Who should participate?
Participants who took part in the Organizational Capacity Assessment—"the 'Scan" should also attend this workshop. However, Partners encourages your organization to also include in this event others who are invested in the organization's success over the next two years. This should include Board and Staff leadership but can also include: key program leaders, volunteers taking on leadership of key elements of your vision, partners who are essential to your success, community members who may be able to help represent the diversity of perspectives that should be included in your thinking, or other stakeholders that can either help or hinder your progress.
Prep Required:
In order to prepare for this workshop organizations should have completed the following:
- Advocacy Capacity Tool (ACT) online assessment and sent your results to Partners.
- Organizational Capacity Assessment in-person focus group discussion facilitated by Partners. (The Scan)
- Compiled overview documents of the organization sent on to Partners. Examples of key overview documents include Mission and/or Vision statements, Strategic Plans, Annual Reports, Surveys of community or beneficiary input, Brochures or other descriptive documents of the organization or it's major programs
Please attend. Become a member, attend a meeting, join the board, volunteer for a committee, make a donation and above all, let your voice be heard. This is your opportunity to help set the course for the future of the Southern Crossing NA. In the meantime, thank you to our sponsors, Aaron and Heather Jones, who are hosting the location for this 4-hour planning event.

Fake Stan's Soapbox: Top 10 Unknown Gadgets in Iron Man's Armor
Stan's Soapbox: "ITEM! Way back when, King Kirby and your Uncle Stan used to take turns seeing who could cram the most gadgets into Iron Man's invincible armor. Jolly Jack usually won those contests, but I held my own. Rocket-powered roller skates? That one was mine. Well, mine and Wile E. Coyote's. Interestingly, some of these gadget-inventing-contests took place over 3-martini-lunches at the Seawane Club in New York. Things got, shall we say, creative. There's probably still some waitress there who thinks her name is Pepper Potts.
So last year while enjoying a liquid lunch with Iron Man Director Jon-Boy Favreau, I told him that story and we started the game up again. One pitcher of Long Island Teas later and we'd managed to come up with quite a luminary list. Mind you, at least two of these ingenious go-go-gadgets actually make an appearance in the Iron Man movie! A special Armor-Alled Adamantium-Plated No-Prize to the first Frantic One who correctly guesses which two! So without further ado... Lee-Favreau present:

Fly Fishing Dukes Creek Georgia
When many anglers, especially the young guys and those that haven't been fishing
very long, think about catching fish they tend to think mostly in terms of one thing -
catching big fish. As a matter of fact, there are some who have been fishing for a
long time that also think that way. After all, fishing should be all about having fun
and if you consider catching huge trout, even those that have supplemental feeding
to be fun, then by all means that's a type of fishing you should pursue. I will say this
about it. Although it's not my own personal preference for fly fishing for trout, It's
certainly a far more sportsmanlike way of fishing than fishing for large trout on their
redds when they are spawning.
It's a rare angler that doesn't enjoy catching a big trout. I personally don't see much
difference in fishing the "trophy streams" than fishing the heavily stocked "delayed
harvest" streams. They are extremely popular. Whether it's your thing or not, there's
one thing for certain - trophy trout streams are popular and it seems they have
become even more popular within the last few years. At least the numbers of
"delayed harvest" streams have increased.
Dukes Creek is a tributary to the headwaters of the Chattahooochee River in North
Georgia. The trout in its lower section, below of the Chattahoochee Wildlife
Management Area in the Smithgall/Woods -Dukes Creek Conservation Area, were
not stocked from a hatchery and feed. They are wild trout that receive supplemental
When Georgia anglers start thinking "big trout", they start thinking about the several
"trophy" trout streams that are located in the state. The oldest one I know of that's
open to the public is "Dukes Creek". There are other privately owned "trophy" trout
streams that I'll be writing about in the near future.
You have two completely different types of fishing and fishing areas on Dukes
Creek. There's a wild and rugged, central stream section of Dukes Creek in an area
called "Dukes Creek Scenic Falls Area", which as the name implies, has a series of
waterfalls or cascades. The stream flows through a deep gorge that isn't easy to
access. It has a good population of wild rainbow trout. These rainbows average
about the same size as those found in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. They
receive little pressure due to the difficulty in accessing the stream. The mile long
Dukes Creek Falls Trail accesses this portion of the stream.
The state of Georgia owned "Conservation Area" of the stream is four and a half
miles long. It's open to the public but reservations to fish must be made in advance.
It's a beautiful little stream that flows through the valley at a moderate pace with lots
of long riffles, flats, some runs and some long pools. It's only open Wednesdays,
Saturdays and Sundays. Only 15 people per morning and 15 people per afternoon
can fish on these days. It's open year-round. It has both rainbows and brown trout.
This stream isn't a push over by any means. You will have to do things right to catch
the trout, so if you go there expecting a "give-me", you better think again.

Wildlife Crime – demand reduction for rhino horn, Vietnam and China
DSWF supported WildAid's campaign to raise awareness in Vietnam, and beyond, of the rhino poaching crisis. This involved supporting Vietnamese lawmakers in banning rhino horn sales and increasing enforcement efforts with the aim of reducing demand for rhino horn in Vietnam, one of the main consumer and demand markets.
DSWF funding supported a variety of campaign activities including the development of billboards, print ads and public service announcements (PSAs) as well as reaching out to hospitals, media and business leaders to bring about an end to the use of rhino horn.
The aim was to broaden awareness that rhino horn in made of keratin (the same substance as human fingernails and hair) and has no medicinal value with a number of celebrities being encouraged to take part in social media campaigns.
A baseline attitude survey was conducted in 2014 and repeated in November 2016 – it showed a marked increase in awareness of the issues surrounding rhino horn use and a reduction in the amount of people who believed that rhino horn cured ailments such as cancer.
In 2017, DSWF began supporting WildAid's new campaign to raise awareness of the issues faced by the pangolin, the world's most illegally trafficked mammal. The campaign focusses on Vietnam and China, the main consumer countries for pangolins and pangolin products. Read more here.

Comic Convo: DC Rebirth Week One
DC has rebooted once again and were covering it every week in our comic convo's. Here is week one on Batman, Superman, Green Lanterns & Green Arrow Rebirth #1
Review of Superman: Rebirth #1
by Peter Tomasi, Doug Mahnke, Jamie Mendoza & Wil Quintana
Since the New 52, various mainline Superman comic have been worked on by such notable comics creators as Grant Morrison, Jim Lee, Geoff Johns, Scott Snyder, John Romita Jr, Neal Adams, George Perez, Max Landis, Greg Pak, Gene Lueng Yang, Charles Soule & more. Now that we've reached DC Rebirth, all the work that's been put in by countless creative talents has basically been put to rest in Superman: Rebirth #1 to bring back the old Superman pre-continuity shift and apparently, the best use of the character was to talk about the time he briefly died fighting Doomsday.
Superman: Rebirth is an exercise in tedium. It is a debut issue that seems to only exist so that the old Superman can explain why he's here and that the new Superman might come back from the dead as he did. Peter J Tomasi is a great comics writer when he has a story to tell. The opening arc of Batman & Robin is still one of the best comics in DC's New 52. But too often since then, his writing has primarily been editorial driven. Whether to cross over into whatever Snyder and Capullo were doing on Batman, taking on the most unnecessary of event spinoff mini-series, bringing back Damien Wayne within less then two years after the character was originally killed off by his creator or most recently closing out the New 52 iteration of Superman; Tomasi has become DC's continuity mercenary and in Superman: Rebirth, that's the primary purpose of his writing. Yet while Tomasi's past foray's into aligning editorial initiatives have at least attempted at telling a story, Superman: Rebirth has no plot whatsoever other then a conversation between Post Crisis Superman and New 52 Lana Lang and having it be a rehash of Death Of Superman, it's hardly compelling. Artist Doug Mahnke is an interesting illustrator and some of his work here is compelling, but too often inker Jamie Mendoza and colorist Wil Quintana feel as if they're flattening his pencils in ways that takes the edge off of Mahnke's stylistic flourishes and renders much of the visual storytelling plain and uninspired.
Upon it's initial announcement, Superman looked like one of the DC Rebirth titles with some potential and really, it still does. The addition of Patrick Gleason to the writing should add another dimension to the writing and his art is always among the best and most interesting at DC. But in it's debut Rebirth issue, Superman is a limp exercise in continuity humping banality that fails to be anything more then an explanation for why the series exists as it does in the first place.

Taking it too far: Philip K. Dick on Insanity
Sometimes the appropriate response to reality is to go insane.
--Philip K. Dick Valis
Comment from ernie.cordell: -----------------------------------
I have a friend who likes to cite the old staple from Alcoholics
Anonymous Meetings, "The definition of insanity is to repeat the
same behavior, expecting different results."
If this rule is extensible from repeatedly drinking with the
expectation that you won't get drunk to the notion that there is
no generic resumee that can be sent to two different employers,
then surely we can extend it logically to this principle:
Sometimes the only appropriate response to reality is to start
repeating the same behavior and expecting different results.
Also, I have always disagreed with the notion that "repeating the
same behavior" means that somebody else can spit in the wind with
impunity, but somehow it is an error when I do it. Maybe there is
an entirely different principle at work here, like "Just because
somebody else succeeds at something, it doesn't mean that you will."
Also using logic, if repeating that behavior isn't wrong as well,
"Because someone succeeds at something it doesn't necessarily imply
that you won't." Maybe the rule is just "Damned if you do, Damned if
you don't."
Maybe my friend is just demonstrating the dangers of generalization:
But I think it is a mistake to equate the dangers of generalization
to the dangers of genericization. Deriving a single principle from
a variety of observations is different than discovering that the same
construct may serve in different situations.
Of course, I could be wrong. It has happened before (but doesn't
that mean that it can't possibly happen again?). It is just possible
that the market-based economy, the standard practices of retail
operation and the basis for industrialization, "interchangeable
parts" are all headed for a bad end. The ideas behind all these operations
pretty much depend on the idea that you can do the same thing twice
and charge somebody again.
Why scientific method itself is in trouble: If you can't repeat the
same behavior and get different results, then why even check?
There's a new rule in town: Nothing is repeatable; Empiricism has
been proven useless.

Prediction for Online Sales
Remember when you could get just about any software tool on the Web free? Then for a while Internet Access itself was free. Most of you probably know why, too -- and as a matter of fact, you probably had money in the market (at least via your retirement plan or 401K). Part of the so-called dot-com bubble was inflated by supposedly high-value stock floating on investor capital without any real earnings (and in most cases very little potential). It seems curious to me that 40 years after the movie "The Graduate_1," the stock market can be carried on a "wave of the future." If the cultural reference is lost on you, the principle shouldn't be.
So commercial activities on the Internet (strange that it should be called the dot-com bubble when so little of it seemed to be about commerce) moved towards earnings, which is not only fine, it is what should have been going on from the beginning. Nobody expected it to last forever (at least anybody with any sense), but the idea was to give us a little taste, write off the expense and make up the difference on the back end. Well, I think we've hit the back end.
I don't think the potential for continually expanding earnings isn't there anymore, I just think that we're hitting a plateau where sales techniques have become so aggressive (after a long period of nearly pathetic passivity) that they are offensive and unwelcoming. Sometimes you are led into purchases that you don't know that you made.
I'm going to have to contest two charges made to me this month. One of them is a presumptive agreement that I mention in another blog post here, and the other is based on a check box that I didn't "uncheck" indicating an "interest" in a product. I indicated an interest by not "opting out" and then I got a message to the effect "Congratulations, you just bought it."
Sorry, Mister, but you're the one who just bought it -- in case it's not clear, I mean the farm. If this is another obscure cultural allusion, look it up -- it will be in the same department as "six feet under." Sales aren't powered by muscle -- they are powered by offering value in the form of goods and service at a price that the market will bear. The market will never bear strong arm tactics, and they will soon be met by enforcement -- either natural market forces or legislation.
Pray for legislation, because natural market forces are still "law of the jungle." You can't have your customers and eat them too.

A Little Bit of Everything : Online Job Offers; Legitimate or Not? : Update
My last spam-scam was particularly stupid because (1) it plunges straight to offer language, which never happens without at least a phone screen, and (2) it was an administrative position with a salary way off the bottom of the scale for a techie like me.
These guys are really evil: I can't think of anything more despicable than choosing those whose greed extends no further that to want to work for a living as a target for fraud, except maybe the exploitation of children -- but when you think about it, anybody who would defraud the honest worker would probably not wince before before stealing candy from a baby -- or robbing the child of something yet more precious.
I'm hoping that this email post will properly attribute the cited post to my fellow Blogger blogger.

Quotation from H. L. Mencken
All successful newspapers are ceaselessly querulous and bellicose. They never defend anyone or anything if they can help it; if the job is forced on them, they tackle it by denouncing someone or something else.

Text sklurging
Text sklurging
I found a supposed profile of myself on the 'Web yesterday, and I wondered where it found its origins. I searched the site which produced it and found three entries with the same or similar name. One fellow I knew about -- there's a guy in Alabama in the insurance business who has the same first and last names as I. Even worse for establishing my identity, there's a guy who lived in my home town with that much in common with me. Given my experience, I have to cringe when I hear the phrase, I know who you are.
I found the explanation that I quote below in its entirety. Some might find it shocking, some may find it boring, but a lot of people are using the 'Web as an authoritative source for a number of purposes. Without understanding what necessitates the caveat below, that can be a particularly dangerous practice. We are all aware of the journalists who get into trouble by not verifying the reports of their sources, but what about employers and credit agencies? What if they all were to say, I know who you are.
The dangerous practice with the most horrendous consequences can be described as follows: Using an automated process where human judgement is required. I've seen all the "intelligent engines," and as a matter of fact, I've designed and programmed a few before current software engineers had graduated to pacifiers. As smart as you can make them, they are still error-prone: And the decisions they are asked to make more and more frequently tend toward those of the variety that ruin the lives of innocents. Whenever people see someone sleeping in the street, you will hear the public wisdom on how it came about: Laziness, drug abuse, alcoholism, mental illness, lack of education, etc. Nobody considers the steady downward spiral of the hard-working, sane-and-sober, trained and educated (I distinguish between the two) productive member of society whose personal or credit information has been exploited by criminals. Granted, these cases are probably the fifth part of the explanations given above, but they exist and deserve separate treatment.
Economic trends are usually too large and sweeping to sufficiently handicap the industrious and the resourceful -- that's why the market-state explanations don't fly with most people. We all have our anecdotal stories about how grandpa pulled himself up by his bootstraps during the depression. But inaccurate or untimely information can cripple individuals, armies or gigantic corporations: Anybody remember Enron?
I usually call the "extraction of textual data for processing by an 'intelligent engine'" text sklurging. It's not a technical term, but it accurately reflects the computational gymnastics of juggling character data until you've picked up keywords and forced them into a certain context. This passes for intelligence among the unsophisticated. Once your personal information has been manipulated in this way, you'll wish that you'd just sold your social security number to the artful dodger instead. By the time anybody is aware that there is any problem, it is already too late. From the perspective of the credit-seeker or prospective employee, everything is going fine until one day when everyone loses faith. A deal was just a little too hard to close, a credit application is rejected -- daily, routine events on the surface of a catastrophe looming. Friends realize what is happening when the victim has no paycheck and no place to live. What happened? they ask, Has he just lost it? I can't believe he blew that interview.
The truly independent will find some way to 'take matters into his/her own hands,' and will prevail -- or disappear completely. For the average person, the loss of one paycheck hurts -- by the time five paychecks go by (10 short weeks to erasing you from society), it's no longer a topic for discussion. The passage of time is measured by the gladiators and ignored by the spectators. By the time that social welfare agencies show up, all the evidence has been destroyed -- not that they do such a great job of investigating the crime scene. Better to think There but for the Grace of God go I, because that's more accurate than basing your analysis of homelessness on the annoying beggar who's always bothering people for change -- he's probably using his proceeds to float stock while the poor take the blame.
One of those text sklurging programs that "put your resumee into a standard format" took a version I tailored according to a friend's specifications and made me an employee of one of the clubs to which I belonged. By the time the final product came around, the omissions, insertions, all-out errors and various sorts of mangling produced a resumee that took longer to edit than it would to write a new one -- at the terminal. I shudder to think how many people saw it before I was able to correct all of it. I'm a technology proponent, but a little horse-sense goes a long way in deciding which is the solution for a class project and what parts of business process should be automated.
In a market where recruiters claim they can't find any qualified American workers yet they confess that they don't have more than 10 seconds to spend on each resumee, I think we need a whole lot more horse-sense and a lot less help from rule-based thinking.

Careerbuilder puts phishing prevention off on its users
So I went poking around at the CareerBuilder Site and probably the best link that I found is the one I associated with the heading of this article (Click the Title of this posting). I went through all kinds of engine-saavy search gymnastics to try to find a place at CareerBuilder where I could send this message for analysis and potential anti-scammer action. You'd think CareerBuilder would care. Well, what I found would lead me to believe otherwise. Wake up, CareerBuilder, if you want to stay in business, you'll learn that you can't put protection off on your users -- your Customer Base. It won't be long before Employers seeking employees find out that there's too much network traffic devoted to fake contacts for their legitimate requests to be fielded. Then it's bye-bye CareerBuilder. I'm sure I'll shed a tear.

How do I create a calculated field that would have a value of 1 if Q4 is 7 or more?
You can create an expression with condition, e.g.
if([Question ID] = 'Q4' and [Values] > 7, 1, empty())
or in its simpler form
when([Question ID] = 'Q4' and [Values] > 7, 1)
If you are expecting to have many conditions like that, the "Rule" action can be a better idea because it's more convenient for multiple "IF..." statements.

Americans consider the House Republican health-care bill to be a bad idea, by a 3-to-1 margin, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.
Just a third of Republicans consider the House-passed bill a good idea, the survey shows. The findings demonstrate the political headwinds facing President Donald Trump and his party as Senate Republicans attempt to assemble a majority to pass their version next week.
In the poll, conducted by telephone June 17-20, just 16 percent of Americans call the House-passed bill a good idea, while 48 percent call it a bad idea. Slightly more than one-third of Americans have no opinion.
Amid the GOP effort to repeal and replace Obamacare, public opinion on that existing law has turned narrowly positive. Some 41 percent call the law a good idea, compared with 38 percent who consider it a bad idea. Before Trump took office, views of the law were more negative than positive.
Asked whether the White House and Congress should continue the repeal-and-replace effort, 38 percent say yes and 39 percent no.
The survey of 900 American adults contains a margin for error of 3.27 percentage points.
The survey about the House bill was released on the day Senate Republicans unveiled their version of the effort to repeal and replace Obamacare.

Start Seeds/Save Seeds
Saving seeds for planting next year is part of the origins of agriculture, and today it is practiced mostly by seed companies for sale. But more gardeners and farmers are saving their own. Seed saving is a part of the food system that is almost invisible, as seeds are often not mature until after a plant is harvested for food. As more public attention is dedicated to questions like this about where our food comes from and how it is produced, area schools are incorporating gardens into their classroom activities. For school gardens, seed saving shows young learners the entire food system, rather than just the part that lands on the plate.
In response to an increased number of school gardens in the Upper Peninsula, and teachers looking for activities and support for those gardens, a group of central UP organizations that support agricultural education came together in 2013 to form the beginning of Start Seeds/Save Seeds. This program provides transplants, seeds, and classroom activities that give teachers access to the tools and expertise needed to try something new in the garden at their school. After saving seeds for a growing season, students are invited to trade seeds and stories at the community-wide Queen City Seed Library Seed Swap.
"Several schools in the U.P. have started hoophouses and gardens in the past five years," says Abbey Palmer, Education Coordinator at The North Farm, a farm incubator and education center located in Chatham at the Michigan State University Upper Peninsula Research and Extension Center. "Using those gardens for seed saving lets us study basic plant genetics, the history of our most common food plants, and start a conversation about the food system." The program has been providing assistance and experiential learning opportunities around farming to area schools through field trips to local farms and hands-on lessons offered at their school garden by community partners. "At Graveraet, kids are learning how to grow food, which is an empowering skill set," says Miriah Redmond, co-founder of MQT Growth, a non-profit that maintains the Graveraet hoop house in the summer.
Certified organic seeds and transplants are provided to participating schools by the North Farm at U.P. Research and Extension Center and Transition Marquette Seed Co-op. Visits to the classroom and educational programming on topics such as planning a seed saving garden, how to save seeds, and seed heritage are also provided by project partners. Mike Riesterer of the Transition Marquette says, "Seed saving is practical, but not often practiced. When kids participate in the process from growing and eating the plant, then start next year's plant with seeds they saved, they understand the entire cycle in a way that few people do. They start to look at food differently—and they're more likely to eat a vegetable that they grew themselves."
Program Details
Start Seeds/Save Seeds (S4) is a program that started in MARESA schools in 2015 to provide school garden support: transplants, seeds, and lesson plan ideas. Over the years, interest in the program and funding have increased so that we are now able to offer this program to a greater number of schools in the U.P.
Seed saving is one of the best ways to interact with the garden, because...
-Cucumber-Tomato-Basil-Kale-Lettuce-Pepper-Squash-Cilantro-Bush Bean-Carrot-Pea-
Transplants and seeds are selected from open-pollinated varieties of popular fruits and veggies that suit our short growing season. The program includes 60-100 transplants and several easy-to-save seeds that are planted directly in the ground in the spring.
Choose to pick up transplants at the North Farm in Chatham OR get transplants delivered to your school garden when you plant as a class.
Choose educational activities that teach how to save seeds, eat well, and understand the food system. It's okay if you've never saved seeds before -- these visits from garden educators are a resource to help you and your students learn how to do it and explain why it's important. We offer a variety of experiential learning opportunities connected with seed saving tailored to fit your schedule and the age of your students.
Classes will be given the opportunity to visit the Upper Peninsula Research and Extension Center in Chatham or a farm in their area. Coordination of this event and financial support for busing with be made available through this program.
At events throughout the year, join others in the community and meet the gardeners that participated in the program at a seed swaps, potlucks, and workshops with Queen City Seed Library in Marquette.
Thanks to Central Upper Peninsula Planning and Development Regional Commission, MSU Extension, MSU Ag-Bio Research, The North Farm at MSU U.P. Research and Extension Center, The UP Food Exchange, Transition Marquette County, MQT Growth, Queen City Seed Library, and Seed Savers Exchange Community Seed Resource Program for their active participation in this project.
The estimated value of assistance provided to each of the schools selected for the program is $405 worth of materials, staff time, and travel to visit schools; additional travel funding is available to transport students to local farms for tours.
How to apply
Schools can find out more and apply to the program by visiting the online application.
Please fill out this form by April 15. Funding is limited. Have questions?

SAN BERNARDINO – One of the region's oldest public housing projects is in line to get a major makeover.
Officials with the San Bernardino County Housing Authority aim to revitalize the Waterman Gardens Housing Community, an eastside development built in 1943, through a $100 million effort to add mixed-income housing and more community services in the area.
"The main difference is, it won't be this kind of institutional housing anymore," said Gustav Joslin, deputy executive director of the Housing Authority.
Located at the southeast corner of Waterman Avenue and Base Line, the subsidized housing project originally contained 270 units, including temporary war housing.
Today it has 252 family units in 114 buildings – 87 single-story duplexes, 24 multifamily town houses, a Head Start facility, a maintenance facility and a management office building.
The development has received upgrades over the years, but Joslin said a community like Waterman Gardens should have been overhauled about 20 years ago.
Revitalization efforts will expand the development, which has about 775 residents, to around 400 mixed-income units and roughly 1,400 residents.
The development will consist of apartments and townhomes with one to four bedrooms, and a portion of them will be set aside for seniors.
"The majority of residents we serve are seniors, children and the disabled," said Ana Gamiz, the Housing Authority's director of policy and community affairs. Indeed, those three groups make up about 67 percent of Waterman Gardens' residents, she said.
So in addition to designating some housing for seniors, the Housing Authority also is expanding the child care services that are provided on the 38-acre site.
Plans are in the works for a bigger community center for after-school, day care and early childhood development services.
There also will be more room for adult education programs and a computer lab.
That was especially good news for Ricardo Alvarez, who has lived at Waterman Gardens for about four years. "I think people would want to see more help for jobs training," he said.
Alvarez, 29, lives in Waterman Gardens with his 8-year-old daughter.
The community has a reputation for violence, but Alvarez said it has become safer under Nancy Finch, a property manager for the Housing Authority.
"Management has done a good job," he said. "It's a good community. I feel comfortable about letting my daughter out (to play). She's safe."
She might also have more options for play. The Housing Authority has plans for more green space, basketball courts and soccer fields.
Waterman Gardens is the second-oldest and second-largest of the Housing Authority's six public housing developments, officials said. The Housing Authority has a 20-year plan to revamp all the developments.
Officials said federal dollars are difficult to come by because the competition is intense among urban centers throughout the country.
The Housing Authority therefore will have to scratch for funding wherever they can find it, including from nonprofit groups, and private investors who get low-income housing tax credits.
"It's a long-term process," said Susan Benner, executive director for the Housing Authority. "A lot of it is going to (have to) do with our (efforts) to get funding for these projects." The Housing Authority anticipates breaking ground at Waterman Gardens in late 2012. Build-out could take between four and eight years, officials said.
