Homily from Father Alex McAllister SDS
Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
September 7, 2014
There are quite a few instructions for the Christian
disciple in today's readings.
The Prophet Ezekiel tells us that the Lord appointed him
as a sentry to the House of Israel. It was his task as a prophet to correct the wicked; to warn them of the
consequences of their evil ways otherwise their destruction becomes his responsibility.
As a prophet, Ezekiel's task was to speak out and clearly explain the commands of the Lord. Paul is doing the same sort of thing in his Letter to the Romans; he tells them that they must obey all the commandments and love their neighbours.
Paul's language is more moderate and poetic than that of Ezekiel: Avoid getting into debt, except the debt of mutual love. Just as Christ did, Paul focuses down all the commandments to this one command of love.
In our Gospel passage St Matthew recounts Jesus' instructions to the disciples about how they should deal with a brother who does something wrong. It is the duty of the disciple to point out the error and even to underline it should he not be well received the first time.
St Matthew obviously wants to let the Christians in his community know how to deal with those who drift away from the teaching of Christ or blatantly contravene the commandments. And he chooses those words of Jesus which most stress the authority and the competence of the Christian community, the Church, to deal with these cases: Whatever you bind on earth shall be considered bound in heaven; whatever you loose on earth shall be considered loosed in heaven.
However, there are some safeguards built into this teaching on reproving those who go astray. Jesus says that first of all you must have it out with him alone. This might lead to a speedy solution and the person's good name is preserved.
If this achieves nothing, then you can go to him with witnesses and only then appeal to the community. The assumption all along is that the matter is serious; after all we can't go making complaints about someone to the Church authorities on anything trivial. Yet it seems that the only sanction is that the person be excluded from the community of the Church. That is surely the meaning of the words: treat him like a pagan or a tax collector.
But in considering such matters we must be very careful; for getting all worked up about the behaviour of another can frequently be a sign of something else, something much closer to home. It can often be a projection on to others of our own very real but hard-to-face problems.
One of the greatest differences between the Catholicism of my grandparent's generation and that of today is the lack of stress nowadays on the frequent examination of conscience.
If you look in an old prayer book you will find a fair quota of pages given over to the examination of one's conscience. It was something every Catholic did nightly as part of their night prayers. It was something done especially before receiving Our Lord in Holy Communion.
I looked up Night Prayers in my grandmother's old prayer book and found this one: O my Lord Jesus Christ, judge of the living and the dead, before whom I must appear one day to give an exact account of my whole life; enlighten me, I beseech thee, and give me a humble and contrite heart, that I may see wherein I have offended thine infinite majesty, and judge myself now with such a just severity, that then thou mayest judge me with mercy and clemency.
The rubrics then invited the reader to examine what sins he or she had committed and, as it said, to conceive a great sorrow for having offended God.
It is very easy to be conscious of the sins of others and to find in oneself a great zeal to see that these are brought to light and corrected. But this is not the act of the true disciple of Christ.
Rather we who aim to follow Jesus should call to mind the occasion when the woman was caught in adultery and be too ashamed of our own sins to cast the first stone.
It is undoubtedly important to speak the truth. This is the role of every prophet throughout the ages and each one of us as been anointed as a Prophet of the New Testament in our Baptism so we should fearlessly speak out the truth. We should name sin and the works of the evil one for what they are.
But not everyone can bear to hear the complete truth, not everyone is fit or able to receive it, especially when it is aimed at uncovering a moral or personal failing. The naked truth can be crushing.
So what do we do? Well I think we go back to St Paul and further back again to Christ whose words he quotes. The sum of all the commandments is to love our neighbour; this comes before everything else.
So let us speak the truth, but let us speak the truth in love. Let us do things Christ's way, let us do whatever we do in love. Jesus was himself the very personification of the truth but he was also the very personification of love. And these two virtues were not separated in him.
Like the Prophet Ezekiel we too may rightly consider ourselves sentries of the House of Israel. The sentry must be ever vigilant, but he must also be ever loyal. We can watch out for others who contravene the rules of the Christian life but first we must be sure of ourselves, certain first that we ourselves are in full conformity with the Lord's commands.
The sentry is vigilant and loyal, but he is also armed and ready to use his weapons. But the arms of the Christian sentry are not the weapons of war; rather they are the weapons of love.
The true disciple loves his neighbour just as much as he loves himself. His weapons are the weapons of the gospel; they are goodness, kindness, gentleness and fraternal concern.
And if our sentry happens to turn a blind eye to his own faults then he can surely turn a blind eye to the faults of his neighbour.

Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year A—September 7, 2014
Previously in this Gospel, Jesus has spoken about authority in His Church. Today, He shows us how it works.
Gospel (Read Mt 18:15-20)
Today, Jesus teaches His disciples about life in the Church He intends to build. Earlier (Mt 16), He established Peter as its head, giving him the "keys" to the kingdom. Now, He addresses various situations that will undoubtedly arise in His community of followers as they seek to live the new life of that kingdom.
Twenty-third Sunday: Sentinels of Love
As you might know, I'm a city boy. I grew up in Northern Jersey in what was really a suburb of New York City. So, I don't know a whole lot about life in the country. Still I heard something about the country that I believe is true. I heard that when crows are descending on a crop, say eating corn or whatever is available, there is always one crow that stands guard high up from a tree. That crow's job is to warn the others if he sees a fox or any animal that could attack them. Now, what I heard was that if the crow does not warn the other crows, and they are attacked, the surviving crows will kill the unobservant sentinel.
Eucharistic Healing
I Thirst
Among many Catholics there is a privation, a sense of absence and even estrangement from true communion with God. This is a paralyzing reality among some believers. How can this be when Jesus is always and truly present in the Eucharist, on the altars and in the tabernacles of the world? Jesus hasn't abandoned us; He is truly and perpetually present. In His Presence there
Knowing the Trinity
Richard of St. Victor, a 12th-century Scottish theologian, is not exactly a household name in 21st-century Christian circles. Truth to tell, I only know of him because of a curious conversation I once had with my friend, the late Richard John Neuhaus, who, as only he could, told me of a friendly discussion he'd had with Rabbi David Novak one summer about the Scotsman's Trinitarian theology, which tried to establish by reason that God must be triune. (We talked about a lot of strange and wondrous things, up there on the cottage deck in the Ottawa Valley.)
Saying Yes to Spiritual Discipline
When you watch your favorite athlete what do you notice? Are you impressed by the grace and skill he brings to the game? Are you awed by his flawless technique? No doubt, you're also taken with how much he seems to enjoy what he is doing. Because it looks so easy and fun, we should not assume that he is so good just because he was born with all those talents and skills. We know of many talented athletes who were failures through lack of discipline. For most athletes, to get to the top of their profession requires rigorous discipline.
7 Things You Need to Know About The Catholic Church
1 – The purpose of the Church is to make disciples of Jesus. Too many people have a false understanding of the purpose of the Catholic Church. After Jesus made the Church, He gave a clear mission statement to His apostles: "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you." -Matt 28:19-20. Everything else the Church does, feed the hungry, perpetuate the Sacraments, etc. is in service to this mission. Evangelization isn't optional.
On Lying
Daniel Mahoney's book, The Other Solzhenitsyn, follows the judicious pattern with which Mahoney, in previous books, treated de Gaulle, Aron, Manent, and other writers. We note that one of the commandments tells us not to "lie." After reading Mahoney, we suspect that the "lie," not murder, adultery, or stealing, is the most heinous of all the sins.
God Has a Flare for the Dramatic
NASA (the National Aeronautics and Space Administration) has recently disclosed that two years ago, on July 23, 2012, planet Earth almost plunged into global catastrophe.
On that date, a solar flare — better known in scientific parlance as a "coronal mass ejection" (CME) — came close to hitting the Blue Planet and disabling electrical appliances everywhere, thereby causing a widespread global blackout. It was the most powerful storm on the sun in more than 150 years.

chaturanga dandasana – four-limbed staff pose
lincoln park, capital hill, washington, dc
things to remember:
- fire up the core (pull the bellybutton up and in toward the spine) to keep the center of the body lifted, even if the knees are down in the modified version
- activate the legs (engage the quads, lifting the knee caps) to keep the lower body lifted
- activating the the core and legs is especially important for the ladies with our lower center of gravity
- send the gaze and heart forward- this will prevent the head from dipping down and weakening the posture
- squeeze the elbows into the body as you exhale the body down from plank position (top of a push-up) into chaturanga
- keep the shoulders back and no lower than the elbows (dipping the shoulders forward can cause injury, especially with multiple chaturangas throughout practice)
the MOST important things to remember:
- do NOT do chaturanga dandasana if you have shoulder injuries. instead, modify or completely abstain from chaturanga so you can take care of your self and heal up.
- cultivating the best form possible for your body is essential in keeping your shoulders safe.

The Blackview BV9600 is a very tough phone that is waterproof, drop-proof and dustproof, and can take a lot of abuse. It comes in two models, Pro and Plus. The Pro has a slightly smaller screen than the Plus and only has a side mounted fingerprint scanner instead of the under-screen scanner on the Plus. Both have super Amoled screen, 6GB ram, 128GB storage and dual rear Samsung cameras as well as a massive 5580mAh battery.
With a powerful processor and crystal clear Amoled screen it is great for gaming and unlike other tough phones its not like carrying around a house brick in your pocket.

I didn't know there was ever a debate. I've always eaten fruit. I often eat 5 pieces fruit a day (which includes a couple of bananas) plus several vegetables. I think the benefits by far outweigh the "unhealthiness" of any sugar in it. I've also never heard any advice from any medical source that people shouldn't eat fruit for reasons of healthiness (unless you're low carbing). Even in the early 80s the advice for a "diabetic diet" was never to avoid fruit. Bananas are a great pre- or md-exercise snack too. If it spikes your sugar level, then either eat it with some protein /fat or bolus early for it?

I had an awesome time with my grandkids.....sleepovers are such fun :) Their Mom told me they got a Boxer puppy last night for the kids, so today when they get home it was a huge surprise! I'm just thrilled that they have a puppy cuz they've been begging for one for a long time. Puppy is a girl named Shelby (I think that's how they'll spell her name) And I'm just SO excited to have another new grandpuppy. I love dogs and would have one myself except they can't be left home alone for long like cats can, so I adore my grandpuppies and have 3 girls and 1 boy.....I know, weird but that's me :)
Time to go over and meet Shelby.

Qemu is a free x86 Emulator/Virtual Machine for Linux and Windows. If you are looking for something faster, you can try the Qemu Accelerator Module (documentation here) or VMware.
Grabbing debug messages
By default, ReactOS debug messages are sent to the serial port (COM1). For grabbing that output, you need Qemu version 0.6.1 or later, in which you can specify the -serial option.
Like this:
$ qemu -serial stdio -cdrom roslive.iso -boot d
Tested on Windows XP and Vista with qemu 0.9.0:
C:\qemu>qemu -L . -hda C:\qemu\ReactOS.vmdk -cdrom C:\RosBE\Source\Reactos.iso -serial file:con
Be sure to use the paths valid depending on your configuration an program paths.
Valid arguments to -serial include filename and pipes so other valid configurations include for example:
-serial file:"C:\roslog.txt" -serial pipe:"\\pipe1\"

Changing our Fund-Raising Methods
By Dr. Jeff Mirus ( bio - articles - email ) | Jan 19, 2006
During the course of 2005, I mentioned several times that I hoped to find low-stress ways to increase revenue. Among other things, this led to the development of our RC line of merchandise. But now we've launched a much more serious fund-raising effort. What's changed?
First, our costs have risen as we've steadily expanded the scope of CatholicCulture.org in several small ways and as the other Catholic organizations we serve have asked us to do the same for them. Second, while our small ecommerce efforts have been helpful, they haven't provided sufficient revenue even to cover the growth in our costs. Third, there is only so much our for-profit consulting company can do to subsidize our apostolic work. With the subsidy now running at several hundred thousand dollars a year, the strain is rapidly becoming too great.
For those of you who aren't aware of the funding model for Trinity Communications, note that I run both a for-profit consulting firm called Trinity Consulting and a non-profit corporation called Trinity Communications. The former provides staff to the latter and pays the vast majority of all other expenses as well. But the non-profit also has two direct sources of revenue: (1) Whatever the Catholic organizations we serve can pay; and (2) Whatever we raise through donations among users of CatholicCulture.org.
In addition to CatholicCulture.org, Trinity Communications serves a number of key Catholic organizations either free of charge or at a small fraction of market rates. These include Catholic World News, Catholic Distance University, the Catholic Information Center, Pastoral Provision, March for Life, New Advent, and a pro-life medical facility, the Tepeyac Family Center. See our 2005 Report Card for details. These important apostolic organizations do not have the financial resources to pay market rates for their technical infrastructure and web presence.
I want to emphasize that Trinity Consulting (the for-profit company) does not mind subsidizing Trinity Communications (the non-profit). That's how we're set up to operate, and it has been an effective model. But as our non-profit work grows and becomes increasingly known, it is important to develop enough direct support to keep the annual shortfall within reasonable bounds. Otherwise, the whole arrangement will come crashing down around our heads.
CatholicCulture.org is Trinity Communications' public face and our means of interacting with potential supporters. But while gratifying, the support we have received hasn't grown fast enough. For this reason, we have launched the current 2006 campaign. With more help from those who use and benefit from CatholicCulture.org, we will be able to continue all of our apostolic work.
If you'd like to help now, please start here.

The approval of Proposition 8 in California, a constitutional change designed to prohibit marriage between couples of the same sex, was not just a defeat for fairness. It raised serious legal questions about the validity of using the Election Day initiative process to obliterate an existing right for a targeted minority.
These deeper questions were largely lost during the expensive campaign by proponents of Proposition 8. Essentially, in their rush to enshrine bigotry in the State Constitution, they circumvented the procedure specified in that same document for making such a serious change. Now, the state's top court, which has agreed to hear the legal challenge to Proposition 8, has the unpleasant duty of tossing out a voter-approved ballot measure.
The case turns on whether Proposition 8 is a constitutional amendment, requiring only approval by a bare majority of voters, or a more far-reaching constitutional revision, requiring a two-step process: either a constitutional convention or a two-thirds vote of the State Legislature followed by voter ratification. The court, which has struck down several measures before, should not lightly overturn the will of the people. But it has not confronted a revision this far-reaching in terms of upsetting basic rights and the state's constitutional structure.
The court has correctly determined that the equal protection clause prohibits governmental discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, which extends the right of marriage to same-sex couples. But the issue goes well beyond gay rights. Allowing Proposition 8 to stand would greatly limit the court's ability to uphold the basic rights of all Californians and preclude the Legislature from performing its constitutional duty to weigh such monumental changes before they go to voters.
Treating Proposition 8 as a mere amendment would set a precedent that could allow the rights of any minority group to be diminished by a small majority. The measure passed 52 percent to 48 percent.
In California, sitting judges are subject to elections, and some supporters of Proposition 8 raise the threat of trying to oust justices who do not go along with trouncing on people's rights and proper constitutional procedure. We trust the court will not be intimidated. The justices' job is to protect minority rights and the State Constitution even when, for the moment at least, it may not be the popular thing to do.

Why are schools failing our children? Are bad teachers being kept in the system, because they are protected. And if you are a good teacher, why are you not recognized for your success?
Nothing against teachers as a whole organization, but you must admit, you people have a problem. Your Unions are destroying your future and your children's future. Your neighbors children, your relatives children, are all at risk of not having the skills to enter the world. The skills to make them successful. The knowledge to innovate, communicate, and to provide.
For anyone, that has children in the school system, please watch this, and learn.
Again, this is not against Teacher, but the Unions that keep Bad Teachers in the system. The Unions are destroying your credibility to be Professional Educators. Your education, in your field of expertise, is being challenged. Your dedication, to the success of your career, is being chiseled away. You pay into a system that has you locked into future of entitlement. No self reliance.
No Relevance either. Vouchers, Home Schooling, and Private Learning Institutions are cleaning your chalk board. Your Unions are sucking at your wallet and what are you getting for it? The promise of a pension and health care for life? Are you looking at the funnel? The funnel of dwindling support?
There is Teaching, and there is Indoctrination
What's For Dinner?
Teach A Person To Fish
It's Easier to Fix a Child, Than A Broken Adult

The 2015 Adelaide Cup odds of Taiyoo have lengthened in the past 24 hours, but the talented stayer remains on top of betting markets for the Group 2 event that will be held at Morphettville this afternoon.
Taiyoo opened at a quote of $3.60 when the 2015 Adelaide Cup final field was released last week, but the consistent galloper has been on the drift ever since ahead of his maiden race start over 3200 metres.
The Haradasun gelding started his summer campaign with a seventh place finish in Seymour last year, but he progressed through the grades in impressive fashion and he has won seven of his past eight race starts.
Taiyoo made his debut at black type level when he carried 60 kilograms to victory in the Listed Moonee Valley Night Cup (2500m) in Melbourne on February 20 and he went on to stamp himself as Adelaide Cup favourite with a tough staying victory in the Group 3 Lord Reims Stakes (2600m) at Morphettville on February 28.
While Taiyoo remains on top of Adelaide Cup betting markets, the market mover has been Tony McEvoy-trained Lucky Lucky Lucky, who has been backed from $5 into $4.80.
Lucky Lucky Lucky made his debut for the Tony McEvoy stable when he took out the Rain Lover Plate (1950m) at Morphettville Parks on January 31 and he finished second behind Éclair Samba in the Listed Birthday Cup (2032) before he was narrowly denied by Taiyoo in the Lord Reims Stakes.
Imported stayer Renew has failed to fire in two race starts this preparation, but remains on the third line of Adelaide Cup betting markets at a quote of $5.
Renew did not beat home a single runner in the Doriemus Handicap (2000m) at Flemington on January 31 and finished sixth in the Moonee Valley Night Cup, but the Dansili gelding won the Listed Sandown Cup (3200m) over the testing staying trip of the Adelaide Cup during the 2014 Spring Racing Carnival and trainer Archie Alexander is confident that the five-year-old will peak this afternoon.
The only other horse that is available at single figure Adelaide Cup odds is progressive gelding Crime Fighter, who will be return to Group race for the first time since he failed to fire in both the Group 1 Australian Derby (2400m) and Group 1 South Australian Derby (2500m).
Crime Fighter finished within a length of Taiyoo in the Moonee Valley Night Cup and he is currently priced at $7.50 to turn-the-tables on his rival in the Adelaide Cup this weekend.
There has been a sprinkling of support for Refectory ($21 into $19) and Tanby ($21 into $19) in the Adelaide Cup betting market with Ladbrokes, while Distillation ($51 out to $67) and Pelicano ($11 out to $13) have all been on the drift.

By 1973 Woody Allen was a firm favourite with Cinema going audiences. Although not yet feted as a master by the critical community his films were highly successful at the box office. That's not to say that he was simply pandering to the masses for financial gain. In retrospect you can see him developing his film making style over the course of these early comedies. Each new film showed that Allen was spending a great deal of time honing his craft. His Direction, writing skills and acting all improved over a hand full of very well received movies giving him the confidence to try new things and more importantly produce an interesting end product. When Sleeper was released it was seen as a new high in Allen's career.
After being cryogenically frozen for two hundred years Miles Monroe (Woody Allen) is revived by anti establishment scientists who plan to overthrow the government. They need a person who is outside of the system, un-registered by the authorities and able to work on behalf of the rebels. The two hundred and thirty-four year old Miles seems to fit the bill. After the thawing process he is taken to the lead scientist's home. Miles slowly adjusts to life in the twenty-second century with only a few minor hiccups and at least one freak out. Soon the Police trace him and mount a raid on the Futuristic house. In the confusion Miles is able to slip away. With the aid of bungling police and a handy jet pack he escapes by pretending to be a domestic robot. Unfortunately for Miles he is then pressed into service at the house of Luna Schlosser (Diane Keaton) a free-spirited and self-obsessed poet. Availing himself to the pleasures of the house during a party including the drug like orb he acts as if he is malfunctioning. Luna takes him to the factory for repair and a new, more pleasing, head. His disguise compromised, Miles is forced kidnap Luna and goes on the run.
With regard to his previous output, Sleeper is a big step forward. The story at the centre of the film is particularly strong. The central characters of Miles and Luna are well thought out and developed. In previous efforts some of the characters came across as just being created to enable a particular idea or joke. Not so here. It doesn't hurt to have an actress of the quality of Diane Keaton for Allen to play opposite. Her transformation from the initially shallow and neurotic Luna to the more astute freedom fighter in the last third of the film is handled with skill. At one point during Miles recovery from assimilation he starts to believe he is Blanche Dubois. To help him Luna has to pretend to be Stanley Kuwolski. Keaton gives an unerringly accurate Marlon Brando impersonation right down to the pursed lips and nasally voice. Allen himself shows a greater degree of control with his character. He still comes across as a screen version of himself but the performance is more tempered and there are a few subtleties coming through that point the way to his future performances.
Parts of the film are homage to the age of silent cinema and the slapstick performers from that era. We get echoes of Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd and Charlie Chaplin in some if the more physical scenes. At one point while Miles is stealing a giant banana he is chased by the farmer. Cue much slipping on giant Banana skins for about sixty seconds. Very reminiscent of Chaplin as The Little Tramp. During these scenes there is usually no dialogue and the sound of ragtime Jazz fills the room (played by Woody and his band) adding to the silent movie mood. Even though the film is more cohesive there is still plenty of room for the slapstick antics and the fantastic one liners. The scenes are filled with wise cracks and comical word play. Again it is done in such a way as it enhances the film instead of detracting from it.
At the heart of the tale it is a classic love story. Two people from very different backgrounds (and centuries) are able to find a way to be with each other through the process of learning and understanding. The film has some serious points to make. The society in which the people live is a dictatorship where anyone with radical ideas is 're-programmed'. Freedom of choice is non existent During the early seventies health food was becoming very fashionable with studies showing that certain foods and drinks were perhaps not the best for a person's health. The scientists of the future that feature in the film in turn debunk this and advise fatty food and cigarettes for the enrichment of mind and body. A wry observation on the fact that doctors used to advertise certain brands of tobacco endorsing their smoothness and health benefits.
Overall an accomplished film showcasing Woody Allen's developing talents and still after forty years very, very funny. Highly recommended.

Belmont Stakes News: I'll Have Another Scratched, Retired
I'll Have Another is out of the Belmont Stakes and has been retired from the sport of horse racing altogether.
The Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner was set to race for the first Triple Crown since 1978, but his Belmont Stakes run is off and he has been retired after an early morning gallop today at Belmont Park.
Trainer Doug O'Neill announced on "The Dan Patrick Show" the news that the horse racing world hated to hear, and it appears that this great horse is retired because of a swollen left front tendon. I'll Have Another was the 4-5 betting favorite according to the betting odds at Bovada Sportsbook, but now it appears the honor of favorite will fall to either Dullahan or Union Rags when the race is ran on Saturday.
This isn't the first time I'll Have Another has encountered injury issues after taking the rest of the year off in 2011 with shin problems after a losing romp in the Hopeful Stakes. A check by a veterinarian showed I'll Have Another's tendon to be "kind of tender", and the horse's connections decided it was in the best interest of everyone involved to call it a day on a great horse racing career.
As I'm writing this, horse racing odds on the 2012 Belmont Stakes are just coming up following the news of I'll Have Another's sudden retirement. As expected, both Union Rags and Dullahan are the overwhelming favorites, while Paynter also received a massive bump and is now at 4/1 after being listed at 10/1 when I'll Have Another was in the Belmont Stakes field.

This Is Your Brain On Violent Media
Although research has shown some correlation between exposure to media violence and real-life violent behavior, there has been little direct neuroscientific support for this theory until now. Researchers at Columbia University Medical Center's Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) Research Center have shown that watching violent programs can cause parts of your brain that suppress aggressive behaviors to become less active.
Columbia scientists show that a brain network responsible for suppressing behaviors like inappropriate or unwarranted aggression (including the right lateral orbitofrontal cortex, or right ltOFC, and the amygdala) became less active after study subjects watched several short clips from popular movies depicting acts of violence. These changes could render people less able to control their own aggressive behavior. Indeed the authors found that, even among their own subjects, less activation in this network was characteristic of people reporting an above average tendency to behave aggressively.

Damage and discoloration. Over years of constant, everyday use, tubs get damaged. Cracks and nicks can appear over time, diminishing the tub's appearance and usability. In fact, a compromised bathtub surface can be a source for leaks, damaging the home's infrastructure underneath the tub. A tub refinisher will repair a damaged tub as part of the refinishing process, sealing any cracks or leaks.
A heavily used tub can become discolored over time due to age, especially in areas that have hard water. If abrasive cleaners can't be used and the stains are seemingly permanent, refinishing a tub can change the surface and give it a clean and bright look.
Style. Styles change over time, and colors that were once popular a decade or two ago can now seem outdated. Refinishing a tub allows a homeowner to experiment with a new color, revitalizing the old tub and making it appear more modern.

Hello all -
I am trying to run a ReportCaster job from a fex using DSTRUN (version 7.1.3). I follow all the instructions in the manual http://documentation.informationbuilders.com/masterinde...capiweb8.htm#1034899 but I am getting error code 11 which translates to Servlet Execution Error. The job runs just fine if run from ReportCaster. The execution ID and password have been verified to work. Can anybody tell me what would cause a Servlet Execution Error?
-AnatessThis message has been edited. Last edited by: Kerry,
I found that it has to be run under an id that is both a valid Unix id AND a report caster id. This makes no sense, but it needs to be that way.
(Prod: WebFOCUS 7.7.03: Win 2008 & AIX hub/Servlet Mode; sub: AS/400 JDE; mostly Self Serve; DBs: Oracle, JDE, SQLServer; various output formats)
That was it! We're using Win2003 but, you're right, the execution ID has to be an MRE ID in addition to being a Win2003 logon. We use active directory for logon authentication, so our Admin was scratching his head wondering how to get that ID/password synched with MRE. But, what we found out is that as long as the id is defined to MRE, the password doesn't have to be valid (doesn't really log on to MRE). So, now it is working. Thank you very much for your help!

My unix id,report caster id and MRE id are all same, but still i am getting Servlet Execution Error on executing DSTRUN. Can any body plz help on this.

Atlanta, GA, 02 March 2018 – Chainalytics, a global leader in supply chain consulting, and Drewry, the global shipping consultancy, have partnered to launch an innovative ocean freight procurement solution for shippers. The Chainalytics Ocean Buying Group, in partnership with Drewry, will provide participating Beneficial Cargo Owners (BCOs) with enhanced purchasing power, service monitoring and cost transparency.
The new strategic partnership delivers a pioneering ocean freight procurement platform that will enable medium and small scale importers and exporters to collaboratively achieve "big shipper" rates and terms direct with ocean carriers and benefit from shared intelligence for better commercial decisions.
Philip Damas, head of Drewry's logistics practice, remarks; "This is an exciting initiative for both organisations. By combining propositions we're able to offer a unique service delivering much needed improved ocean carrier contractual terms with full transparency, cost stability and predictability, market intelligence and technology-driven category management to a segment of the market that often suffers pricing volatility and opaque service levels."
John Westwood, Senior Manager, Chainalytics Transportation Practice, states, "We designed the Ocean Buying Group to provide companies often outsized by competitors the opportunity to gain "big" shipper value relative to the size of its organization and quantity of shipments, and our partnership with Drewry further enhances our clients' capabilities to competitively acquire ocean freight services."
Arjun Batra, Group Managing Director at Drewry, affirms, "Smaller retailers and manufacturers often struggle to achieve favourable rates on their international shipments. This initiative levels the playing field by providing these organisations with a collective buying solution that can deliver real purchasing power."
"This is an exciting initiative, not only for both our organisations but also for BCOs", he adds. "Between our two companies lies a vast knowledge bank of market insight and intellectual know-how which can be exploited to the full. Through the launch of the Ocean Buying Group we look forward to delivering something compelling to those that value our independence and impartiality."

Are today's pilgrims welcome at the Thanksgiving table?
The girls wore white aprons, the boys, tall hats and vests, and we usually had a Native American or two to complete the tableau around the table, which was composed of desks lined up.
For music we sang "Over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house we go "¦"
As I think about it now, it does seem a bit out of place. Nevertheless, we were Pilgrims and we celebrated the first Thanksgiving as we ate turkey and corn bread and drank apple cider.
Recently, I came across a copy of the family genealogy and discovered the name of
The accompanying information indicated that he was born in Scrooby, Nottinghamshire, in 1588.
He was a Separatist who went to Holland to escape religious persecution. He was married in 1619 and sailed to New England the following year on the Mayflower.
Thinking about Cousin John has caused me to refocus on the familiar story. I began to wonder, what was it really like for him to leave Europe and become an immigrant in a strange new world?
What was his expectation as he stepped on the boat to make that ocean voyage? Did he feel lost, hopeful, apprehensive?
History tells us that life for the Pilgrims was nothing less than a challenge. They risked the perils of the sea, the dangers of starvation, disease and winter weather.
Yet, in the midst of all the challenges of life, they paused to give thanks to God. We cannot help but wonder, what were they thankful for? Perhaps they were thankful for a harvest -- not of abundance, but of sustenance.
Our democratic ideals tell us they were thankful for a land free from tyranny and oppression. Our faith tells us they were thankful for religious liberty and the freedom to worship as they chose.
The harvest was more than food. It was a renewed hope that the dream was taking root. Fervent prayers of thanks for God's grace were in order.
One of the hymns we often sing has a verse which helps to change the seasonal setting from 1620 to 2008. The verse reads, "We are pilgrims on a journey, we are travelers on the road; we are here to help each other go the mile and bear the load."
We are pilgrims on a journey today. The future is uncertain. There are challenges. Can we pause to give thanks?
I am reminded of the Native Americans who joined that first Thanksgiving feast. Their presence at the table signified acceptance of and by the immigrant Pilgrims. The table was a place where everyone was welcome.
Today we are forced to ask ourselves, who are the immigrants to our nation, to our neighborhood and to our houses of worship? Are they welcome at the table?
The idea of sharing is reflected in the spirit of Thanksgiving. By modern standards, the Pilgrims were people living in poverty, confronted daily by the starkness of life. They lived by the strength of a faith which refused to allow them to be paralyzed by fear; a faith that encouraged them to stretch out their hands to a neighbor, going the second mile, sharing with others; a faith that caused them to be thankful for all things.
This year, in the midst of all that has happened in recent weeks and months, as we gather for the Thanksgiving feast, whether at the dining room table or the local soup kitchen, we would do well to pause as pilgrim people, consider what we are truly thankful for and give thanks with a grateful heart.
The Rev. Dr. Sheldon T. Smith is minister of the First Congregational Church , United Church of Christ , in Bethel.

TRYING TO FIND "original Dandelions"? Looking for the latest info. on a Dandelion artist? Want to tell everyone how great Dandelion was? Then this is the place to be ...
Can anyone help - cos this is driving me nuts!
Back in the 70's I bought an Album by a band called Ora (possibly Oora - well it was from Tesco's bargain bin!) This was on the Dandelion label - can't find any reference to it since. They were a very laid back acoustic band (duo I think). If anyone knows anything about this I'd be very grateful
Hi Gareth - there never was any band by the name of Ora (or similar) recording for Dandelion. Trust me... ! However, there was the Occasional Word Ensemble, whom you may have heard referred to as "Owe".
They released their "Year Of The Great Leap Sideways" back in 1969. This is obviously long deleted, but the good news is that you should be able to get a copy of the See For Miles CD reissue from 1995 if you visit http://www.xrecords.co.uk/html/fol.htm
If that doesn't work, keep a watch on eBay - copies do occasionally come up. Always assuming of course it is the OWE that you're after.
Good luck!

The death of actor Natasha Richardson after a fall on Quebec slopes last month put the issue of snow sport helmets back into the media spotlight, even as safety advocates won major commitments behind the scenes to establish national helmet standards as well as education programs for the public.
Last week the Canadian Standards Association, which has already developed a national standard for snow sport helmets, announced plans to start testing all helmets made or sold in Canada - pending approval by the Standards Council of Canada. That approval could come before the summer.
It would be a voluntary standard for helmet manufacturers, similar to the arrangement for bike helmets. But helmets that make the grade would have a CSA label that consumers will be advised to look for when purchasing helmets.
However, Canadian helmet manufacturers have said they would not use the standard if it is voluntary. They raised objections based on cost and design parameters. For example, CSA-approved helmets would be able to withstand multiple impacts, and as a result would be heavier - many helmets on the market use light foam and are single impact, similar to bike helmets, and need to be replaced after impact. The specs also call for harder plastic shells capable of withstanding cold weather, and some changes to the way helmets are designed and fit.
It may not be a voluntary standard for long. Health Canada said this week that it would consult with stakeholders on a proposal by Liberal Member of Parliament Hedy Fry that would include snow sports helmets under the Hazardous Products Act, similar to hockey helmets. No retailers would then be allowed to sell helmets that did not meet the CSA standard.
Dr. Fry, who has attempted to get her Private Member's Bill into the House of Commons for several years, recently wrote Prime Minister Stephen Harper to request that her bill be fast-tracked through Parliament through an Order in Cabinet.
"The recent serious brain injuries on Canada's ski slopes are tragic reminders that these brain injuries are preventable," said Fry. "A simple stroke of the pen by the Harper cabinet is all that it takes. The inexplicable failure to do so is nothing short of irresponsible."
Fry has the support of the Canadian Medical Association, the Brain Injury Association of Canada, the Insurance Bureau of Canada, ThinkFirst, and all three opposition parties. As well, Conservative MP John Weston of the West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky riding has supported the bill in principle.
With a standard in place, helmet advocates are looking at ways to get more people wearing them. Most resorts and industry groups, like the Canada West Ski Areas Association, have made helmet use mandatory for children in ski school and recommend helmets to all their customers - but believe it should be a choice for adults, including their employees.
However, WorkSafe B.C. is looking at making helmets mandatory for people that ski or snowboard as a requirement of their occupation.
Quebec is currently considering a law that would make helmets mandatory for everyone, regardless of age or whether they are employed by the industry. Resorts are wary of a law, which they believe might deter some people from skiing and snowboarding.
For Richard Kinar, the helmet advocate who has been leading the battle for standards for seven years, it was a partial victory.
"The certification program the CSA has come up with is absolutely essential, and it's a key component towards eventually having CSA standards for all sports helmets solid in Canada," said Kinar. "But what's missing here is a commitment from the Conservative government... implementing or imposing a new standard on the industry."
Kinar says the reluctance is cultural, as the Conservatives would be hesitant to use the power of government to dictate what products companies are allowed to manufacture. As a result Kinar has pledged to continue his campaign.
On April 14, he also plans to make helmets an issue in the provincial election in order to secure backing from candidates for a B.C. injury prevention strategy for youth. Eventually Kinar would like to see a national strategy, citing government figures that preventable injuries cost Canadians $14.7 billion each year. Head and spinal injures are currently the leading killer and disabler of youth in Canada.
The April 14 meeting will be held in response to Natasha Richardson's death, with presentations from the Alzheimer's Society of Canada, the Brain Injury Association of Canada, Safe Communities, and others. Kinar says media interest is high, and he's booked in 70 to 80 interviews across Canada around that time.

Marie Kirbyshaw was approached directly by Stephen Salt, Chair of the Home Counties region, about joining the Academy for Chief Executives. Marie became the Chief Executive of Luton Culture 10 years ago, just as the charity was about to lose £1m funding. Luton Culture delivers engaging arts and cultural programmes across art centres, museums, libraries heritage buildings and gardens.
"I believe in applying business principles to improve the financial viability of charities, so was keen to continue my own learning at the Academy from members, speakers and through 1:1s with Stephen the Chair".
Taking the time away from the day-to-day running of the organisation has shown Marie the most immediate ROI for her membership. At her first meeting, she recalls Stephen saying 'It's about working on the business, not in it'.
It's so easy to become completely absorbed running an organisation, and so taking the time to step back, reposition and examine what's going on and why, is a key benefit to Marie in being an Academy member.
"I've also learnt a great deal from my peers, their different industries and sectors. They share different approaches and aren't afraid to challenge some of the business models that I use in the arts and culture sector. Equally I enjoy contributing my own experiences and insight at the board sessions to broaden the discussions".
Marie believes the Academy works because it encourages members to continually learn, reflect and intensify skills as leaders and strategies for the future,
"The group dynamic is key. In our group, I trust everyone to be honest and I know they have my best interests at heart and vice-versa. It's not a competitive or tactical environment; it's a safe space to share ideas, issues and plans in confidence".
Marie considers herself to be a 'custodian' of the Trust and she is therefore keen that under her watch she makes a positive contribution to people's lives through exemplary cultural activities, venues, projects and employment of over 500 people.
"It's exciting to be leading the culture Trust through into the next chapter of greater impact and independence, especially as we are now developing a creative workspace out of the old hat factories, including the re-development of the Hat Factory Arts Centre. The Hat District project will be self-funding and also meet the values and objectives of the Trust".
Marie believes the learning she takes from the Academy enables her to enhance her leadership skills and share the Trust's vision throughout the organisation, sector and the wider community.
"I look at this stunning clock every day – it is broken and doesn't tick so I have set it to 20:22 which is when the Hat District creative workspace project will be delivered. By then we will have achieved 133 new jobs, 25,000 sqft of new creative workspace, a sustainable financial model, 136,000 new visitors and we will have regenerated an incredibly important area of Luton. I am determined to transform these empty, broken resources into vibrant and culturally relevant assets once more and I know that my Academy membership is going to help me all the way!"

Enablers of Digital Strategy: Present & Future
Three elements differentiate today's digital strategies from those of the past, explains Donald Light, director of Celent's P&C insurance practice for the Americas, in the analyst firm's recent webinar "Insurance Digital Strategies: Cheaper, Smarter, Faster, Better." In his discussion, Light emphasizes the importance of digital strategy and the necessity for insurers to adjust theirs in the wake of new technologies.
The first of these elements is data, "especially data that's in machine-readable and machine-storable form," says Light. The second is information in any format, including text, video, and sound. The third element is experience. "[This] involves continuing interaction, first with other people or intelligent agent systems."
In terms of goals, insurers should first focus on cutting cost through reducing expenses and increasing productivity. For example, Light explains, an insurer may aim to experience zero growth in expenses year-over-year.
Businesses should also strive to be smarter in their pricing, underwriting, and claims decisions, says Light, which may involve a key goal of pricing risks more accurately than their key competitors. "We're operating in a pretty complex world with a lot of factors," he cautions, emphasizing the importance of consistency in making exact decisions.
[Novarica: 40% of Insurers Planning Policy Revamp in 2015]
The third and fourth critical goals, he continues, involve boosting efficiency by cutting down on cycle times and improving the customer experience by making processes more engaging and satisfying.
Carriers should note that while none of the aforementioned goals is entirely digital in nature, all involve a balance between the digital and physical worlds. The achievement of each requires "digital enablers," the technical and economic trends that make digital strategies possible. Insurers will find that the tactics behind digital success today are largely different from those of the future.
The enablers of today's digital achievements include the digitization of data and information, growth of analytics and rules, and development of mobility-driven user experiences. As user interfaces change and become more engaging, customers find older ones increasingly unacceptable. Companies that neglect to update their interfaces will find themselves at a disadvantage in the marketplace, Light cautions.
Moving forward, the Internet of Things will emerge as a primary digital enabler of the future. Accompanying IoT will be the "natural best friend," a product of technology that uses machine learning, and access to large data stores, to provide companionship. Light references the movie Her, the story of a man who develops a relationship with the voice on his smartphone, as a relevant example.
Although it may seem that society is already connected 24/7, it has yet to achieve the ubiquitous connectivity that will enable future digital transformation. Devices such as sleep monitors will ensure users are connected every minute of the day. "People will accept this as a natural part of how they live their life," says Light. These monitoring devices will provide instant access to data for companies formulating digital strategies.
With the digital enablers of the future, insurers will be better able to achieve smarter and less expensive goals such as more accurate pricing, better underwriting for small business and worker compensation carriers, and improved claims strategies. These digital means will help them fulfill goals that straddle the physical and virtual worlds.

Wonder what you would find if you frisked the liberal protesters from today's Tea Parties in Oregon and Wisconsin?
Answer: The left's new "civility".
This is absolutely disgusting and pathetic. These people have no class what so ever.
If a few Tea Party members did this, their faces would be plastered all over the major news networks and newspapers.

Wonder what you would find if you frisked some SEIU protesters at the pro-public union SEIU rally outside the Colorado Capitol in Denver?
Answer: They decided to harass an African-American Tea Partier who was participating in the counter-rally.
The Blaze reports:
During a pro-union rally at Colorado's State Capitol yesterday, some alleged SEIU union supporters got into a shouting match with a black Tea Partier. But the conversation wasn't just a loud, heated exchange. It got very personal when two union supporters ganged up on the conservative, one of them calling him "uneducated" and another asking him if he has any children "that he claims".
According to RedWhiteBlueNews.com, the woman in red was later asked what she meant by her comments about the man's children. "She said the black conservative was such a 'free spirit' that she assumed he would possibly not own up to the responsibility of being a father," the site says.
Notice how the SEIU protester calls the Black conservative "uneducated" while also claiming he is "emmoral"… The only uneducated person in the video clip above is the SEIU protester. It's pronounced "immoral" by the way.
Typical and classless.
*UPDATE* – February 23, 2011 – 1:23 PM.
The same group of protesters, who called the Black conservative "educated", chanted "U-S-A" while waving a Mexican flag:

Wonder what you would find if you frisked the Washington D.C. elites?
Answer: They think differently than the general population.
At least on a few issues… Katrina Trinko – from The Corner – reports:
Washington elites don't care much for Sarah Palin, according to a Politico poll released today.
Among Washington elites, defined as college grads living in the D.C. metro area in policy or political positions and making $75,000 or more a year, only 11 percent think that Palin is qualified to be president, a steep decrease from the 23 percent nationwide who think she is qualified. And while half of the general population thinks that Palin is a "negative influence" on national politics, a whopping 79 percent of D.C. elites hold that view.
Asked who was most likely to win the GOP nomination in 2012, 30 percent of Washington elites picked Romney, while 11 percent chose Palin. All the other possible nominees, including Newt Gingrich, Mike Huckabee, Tim Pawlenty, John Thune, and Mitch Daniels, were only considered likely by single-digit percentages.
The elites also don't think that the Tea Party will endure. While only 28 percent of the general population agreed that "the Tea Party movement is a fad – it will go away soon enough," that percentage agreeing with the statement skyrocketed to 70 percent among Washington elites.
Although Sarah Palin is not my choice as a potential candidate for 2012, I thought the difference between the Washington D.C. elites and the general population's opinion on whether or not she is qualified to be president was interesting. A twelve point gap is pretty huge…
When asked who was most likely to win the Republican nomination in 2012, 30 percent of Washington elites picked Mitt Romney. This did not shock me at all, because Washington D.C. loves their moderate politicians. After all, in my opinion, Romney is just another well rehearsed politician that would end up swimming in the center as a moderate if he won in 2012.
As of right now, my potential candidates in 2012 are Tim Pawlenty, Mitch Daniels, and Newt Gingrich.
On the subject of the Tea Party movement disappearing, I do not see that happening. If it does, it won't be until after the 2012 election. Right now, too many Americans are upset about the radical agenda that President Obama and the Democrats have embraced.

Wonder what you would find if you frisked the comments made by U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-TX)?
Answer: Something went wrong during her education process.
Reminder: This lady somehow made it through Yale and onto the University of Virginia Law School…
Moe Lane – from Red State – did the congresswoman a favor and pointed out a slight flaw:
For the benefit of any natural born damned fools that may have wandered in: there is no South Vietnam anymore. It was conquered by North Vietnam in 1975, shortly after a Democratic Congress – yes, the same political party as Rep. Jackson-Lee's – defunded the defense of South Vietnam, in defiance of our promises made to that unhappy country as part of the cease-fire that ended the Vietnam War. They are not living together side by side as two countries. Because, well, again, the North Vietnamese conquered the South.
Oops! Does Rep. Jackson-Lee's ignorance stop there? Of course not! The congresswoman told the NAACP this week that those who wore sheets lifted them off and are now wearing tea party clothing:
And I thank you professor very much. I'm going to be engaging you with those very powerful numbers that you have offered on what the tea party recognizes, uh, or is recognized as. Might I add my own P.S.? All those who wore sheets a long time ago have now lifted them off and started wearing [applause], uh, clothing, uh, with a name, say, I am part of the tea party. Don't you be fooled. [voices: "That's right.", applause] Those who used to wear sheets are now being able to walk down the aisle and speak as a patriot because you will not speak loudly about the lack of integrity of this movement. Don't let anybody tell you that those who spit on us as we were walking to vote on a health care bill for all of America or those who said Congresswoman Jackson-Lee's braids were too tight in her hair had anything to do with justice and equality and empowerment of the American people. Don't let them fool you on that [applause]….
Okay… Now this woman is just being a complete idiot. Plus, I am glad she brought up the "people spit on us as we were walking to vote on a health care bill" and "called us racial slurs" issue, because it is completely FALSE. The ignorance of some of these liberals in office perplexes me at times. Andrew Breitbart already put that claim to rest when he offered a $100,000 reward to anyone producing such evidence. In the end, the place was crawling with cameras and no one has stepped forward… Funny huh?
Still not enough proof that this congresswoman lacked something in her education process? In 2005, she asked if the Mars Pathfinder had taken an image of the flag planted there in 1969 by Neil Armstrong. Seriously!?
And to think… These are the people in office that truly believe they can run one-sixth of our economy (health-care) and regulate our financial system. I don't know about you, but this is quite frightening!
Personally, I think this post is enough proof that this woman needs to be removed from office. Lucky for us, there's a Republican running against her! Please, click below and support John Faulk for Congress:

Wonder what you would find if you frisked a peaceful Conservative protest in Greensboro, North Carolina yesterday?
Answer: A liberal decided to resort to violence… Go figure!
Hmm… Once again, I thought it was the Tea Partiers and Conservatives who are the individuals out there inciting violence in America? And once again, we have more proof showing the exact opposite: It is the left/liberals who are pathetic individuals that need to resort to violence because they cannot simply articulate their arguments.
FOX 8 reports:
A protest in Greensboro turned violent Tuesday when a former candidate for Congress and NC Senate was punched in the face.
Nathan Tabor, a business owner and head of the Forsyth County Republican Party and a former candidate for public office, says he and 25 other people were protesting government bailouts in front of Rep. Mel Watt's (D-N.C.) Greensboro office on Tuesday.
"We were just there to do our constitutional right to have a peaceful protest." Tabor said.
Tabor says they were protesting a proposed amendment that would give companies money to help with rising credit card fees. He says he was videotaping the event when Govenor Spencer, of Greensboro, approached the protest.
"About that time a gentleman walks around the corner and walks into the middle of the crowd saying it's all George W. Bush's fault. It's all Dick Cheney's fault." Tabor said.
The video shows Spencer and at least one protester arguing. Tabor says he stopped recording as the protest began to conclude and walked over to the sidewalk where his wife and 5-year-old daughter were standing.
"As I walked around the corner this gentleman pushed me. And when he pushed me the first time I turned my camera on and brought my camera up. I said please don't push me. And when I said that he slapped my camera." Tabor said. "He pushes me again. In the video you can see my body fall back. And I did not say anything to him, I didn't engage him. I was going to, until he touched me wife."
Tabor says Spencer pushed his wife and he pushed Spencer back. The video shows Spencer then punching Tabor in the face.
Props to Mr. Tabor for handling himself extraordinarily well considering what happened.
Side-Note: Hey, remember when President Obama told his supporters that they need to "get in their faces"? Hmm… Who is inciting violence again? Perhaps, it's the Messiah himself.
Stay classy liberals…

Wonder what you would find if you frisked Eugene Robinson's – from The Washington Post – latest op-ed column?
Answer: He wonders why the Tea Party activists aren't protesting Arizona's new immigration law.
Really Mr. Robinson???… You're throwing out the race-card? Figures…
Activists for Latino and immigrant rights — and supporters of sane governance — held weekend rallies denouncing the new law and vowing to do everything they can to overturn it. But where was the Tea Party crowd? Isn't the whole premise of the Tea Party movement that overreaching government poses a grave threat to individual freedom? It seems to me that a law allowing individuals to be detained and interrogated on a whim — and requiring legal residents to carry identification documents, as in a police state — would send the Tea Partyers into apoplexy. Or is there some kind of exception if the people whose freedoms are being taken away happen to have brown skin and might speak Spanish?
Personally, I think Mr. Eugene Robinson should have stayed home today and kept his phalanges off his (assuming) ritzy Apple MacBook, because it would have saved him the humiliation of writing this op-ed column.
First of all, this Arizona immigration law does not allow law enforcement officers to detain and interrogate people solely "on a whim." I give Eugene Robinson major props here for his excellent exaggerations. Click here to read the bill.
Second, the Tea Party movement is about limiting government to its responsibilities. In this case, the government is not overreaching here, because the federal government is SUPPOSE to protect our borders and enforce immigration laws. Unfortunately, both Republicans and Democrats have not grown a spine on this issue and continue to fail at maintaining the integrity of our borders and preserving the concept of U.S. citizenship. Therefore Arizona has been forced to man-up and take care of its citizens.
Lastly, there's nothing wrong with legal American citizens wanting their borders protected so that state unemployment rates decrease, health-care costs decrease, and their property values increase. Yup… That must be racist. 🙄 <– That's sarcasm if you couldn't tell.
In the end, Eugene Robinson proves once again that it is difficult for those on the far-left to understand what is and is not a proper role of our government.

On Saturday night (April 10, 2010), I attended the Tea Party located on the steps of the Capitol in downtown Lansing, Michigan. After making a stop in Grand Rapids, The Tea Party Express managed to make an appearance to energize the crowd of 1,000-1,500. Overall, it was another great and peaceful Tea Party with a large number of concerned Americans/Michiganders in attendance.
When I first arrived, Republican gubernatorial candidate Mike Bouchard was giving a fiery speech to the crowd during the Tea Party Express rally that definitely stirred up an incredible amount of enthusiasm. Later on in the evening, Mike Bouchard and Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox took the podium once again to blast the idea of massive government spending and other major political issues.
QUESTION: Hey liberals, how much do you like my new "Don't Tread On Me" t-shirt? 😆
Props to all the patriots that made it out to the rally Saturday!
Reminder: Videos from the event will be added later on this evening.

Wonder what you would find if you frisked a group of rowdy liberals in Nevada?
Answer: They decided it was a good idea to throw eggs at the Tea Party Express bus!
This is a question for the liberal mainstream media: So are you sure it is the Tea Partiers and Republicans out there in-sighting violence over political differences? Based on this video, it appears to be the total opposite. I think the MSM needs to dig a little deeper the next time they decide to report the so-called "news."
Hey, let's look at the bright side… At least these liberals didn't threaten to kill Republican Rep. Eric Cantor.
