CarolMaeWY you are just soooooo fast
Itâs a Jedi Mind Meld. Yes We Ca.
Thanks Nena!
Good evening. Congrats Carolmae on #1
Thank you.
Good Evening everyone and Chips
Howdy Roberta.
HOOOOOWDEEEE!!! Carol of WY. Forgot to congrats you on first. I think I need a new computer, this one is tooooooo slow.
Iâve got a little iPad and the Internet connection is not anything to brag about, but somethingâs going my way today.
Whoopee-tee-yi-yo. Get along little dogies.
It was a good day, eh?
Not really, just catching up. But Iâm glad we have a new CIA director and POTUS was surrounded by beautiful women today when he signed VAWA. So proud of VPOTUS too!
It could have been worst ya know.
It could have. My horse could have bucked me off!
Best be sure of yer saddle and seat!
Never ride with a saddle, bareback only. I wouldnât know how to ride with one.
Oh really? Do you use the mane for reins too? What tribe do you belong to?
No, I have a hand signals. Iâm from the Pilgram and Norwegian tribe.
Just a poor farm girl. Making do with what I have. My daughter-in-law is a little Cherokee and more Chickisha.
Okay hand signals.
“Chickishasaw” sorry.
Chickasaw
A mighty fine day Yardarm. How are you doing shipmate?
Not too shabby Admiral. Just relaxing with me tot oâ rhum.
Monster happy to hear allâs good Yardarm, but leave me a sup oâ rhum, will ya?
Itâs in the barrel waiting for ya. Let the boâsun know and heâll dip ya a cup.
Yardarm, why are you speaking Danish to me?
Nope. Itâs all old Navy.
Ah, okay! Sounds like the language of love!
Please Admiral. Not in front of everyone.
Whew!
“How-w-w-DEE-E-E-E! Iâm jesâ so proud to be here!”
I just feel so upbeat for no other reason than President Barack Hussein Obama.
That thumbs-up to uncle joe with that steely look speaks volumes.
So is VAWA now a permanent law?
Yes, amk, itâs a permanent law until somebody tries to repeal it, amend it, or SCOTUS thinks itâs a “gender entitlement.”
Excellent. Even the scum scalyeew wouldnât touch it.
Itâs not permanent in the raw definition of permanent because it has to be reauthorized in 2018 and will most likely include more expanded protections as needed.
Thanks, ut. I was using mostly snark and didnât think of the possibility of a re-authorization requirement until after I posted it. “Expanded protections” sounds good to me!
Itâs permanent until 2018 when it has to be reauthorized again and will probably be expanded to include more protections as warranted.
“be expanded to include more protections as warranted.”
Excellent. Thanks ut.
Perfect gift for International Womenâs Day from PBO+JOE.
I am not too sure, they were trying to make it permanent. Those looks of V-P Joe were telling. Just love those two guys in the White House.
Wonderfull Chipsticks, every picture put a bigger and bigger smile on my face: Congrats as well CarolMaewy……
Thank you LP.
Need help…..how do I remove the interlocking dâs (unite blue) from my twitter account? Thanks.
Just edit your photo. Choose the same or a different one and the twibbon disappears.
{{{{{{Chipsticks}}}}}}
Paaaaaaaaaamela, you legend!!!!!!!
Iâm sure some of you heard Ed running his mouth, along with Bernie Sanders. Why are they so quick to believe that the President will cave? I guess they donât have any confidence in him.
They judge him by what they themselves would do.
And that is ALWAYS a mistake.
Important read when you have some time, bookmark this….comprehensive breakdown on entitlements in a way D.C. wont….
Son-in-law of Osama bin Laden has been charged with conspiracy to kill Americans, according to court documents just unsealed FBI: http://www.fbi.gov/newyork/press-releases/2013/sulaiman-abu-ghayth-associate-of-osama-bin-laden-arrested-for-conspiring-to-kill-americans?utm_campaign=email-Immediate&utm_medium=email&utm_source=new-york-press-releases&utm_content=184530
Rand Paul and the GOP care about civil liberties? Then filibuster the DAA until it funds the closing of Guantanamo.
reading that the gop are already opposing this appearance in federal court
would you expect anything less? I just love the timing federal court appearance. PBO leaked and time the hearing right after the Brennan cloture was invoked!!! Confirmed his CIA director, and now the next step to closing Gitmo….not a damn thing any senator can do about it, and Iâm talking about Schumer too….. He flip flopped back in 2009 on putting KSM on trial in NYC
you & I had the same thoughts about the process & timing - remember the US has had the suspect in custody for more than 1 week (?).
the trial in NYC was also announced when no one can do anytihng drama about it since by the media reports court appearance is tommorrow.
once 1 person is tried in Fed court, PBO will have dared all those NBIY & he can go ahead and close GITMO.
this is what long-term planning looks like
OH CHIPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH MIGHTY PAMELA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hold on, Iâm going to save it right now….Okay, phew! Now where was I? Oh yeah, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have searched and searched for this picture. I donât know what it is about it that touches me so deeply - the baby is so small and vulnerable, and President Obama is so protective and serious. I just canât stop looking at it. I had just about given up hope of ever finding it. It is now with my other favorite PBO/child pix - the head rub, the little girl with the blue flower, the spiderman attack. These pictures just reveal the character of the man so clearly, and really bring tears to my eyes. Not a child picture, but the one of the elderly veteran struggling to stand does that too. Oh Holy Moly I was going to correct papers tonight, but I will just have to spend the rest evening drinking in my pictures. Chips, if I have never said it before, (I have), I say it now - you are Super Number One in my book, and Pamela, you are Super Number One A!
Thank you for searching and searching and for remember my (repeated) request! I had this vision of my death, where they cut me open and on my heart was engraved “Where is the picture of PBO and THAT BABY????????”
Boy, now I am really really really glad we took care of this, your beautiful Heart is no longer tattooed….
L-)
Like the new moniker!
You made my day too.
Mighty Pamela…a new title ordained on this 7th day of March in the year two thousand, and thirteen.
I do rather like the sound of it, and I bow in deepest humility!
Can I do this?
HeeHeeHee!
It looks good on you Mighty Pamela
I thank you for your kind words, GGail… Pretty cool, eh? I was thinking while making dinner, you know ~ THIS, this kind of fun, laughter, sharing, kindness and consideration for others, THIS is why the GOP will fail, ultimately. They do not understand that we are very real people out here, and even if we have never met, we share many common dreams, hopes for the future and best wishes toward mankind. THIS is why PBO is our chosen leader… He knows all about is. He is One Of Us! Isnât that just marvelous to think about?!
THIS!!! X 1,000,000 +
THANK YOU MIGHTY PAMELA!!!!! You are my favorite Pamela in the whole wide world! I donât know how you found it…I remember seeing it all over when it first came out, but then it just disappeared.
I will share with you that I have had to spend a great deal of time today w-a-d-i-n-g through my iPhoto files, looking for a certain type of photo to add to my new website, and crimey, I have had a rather bad time of it… So finding these was a treat and a pleasure, as I knew someone here was hoping for them, but I confess I didnât remember exactly who… I kinda thought it was you maryl1, but Chipsticks covered me for that slip… Am I still mighty, now you know the whole truth?
Okay, you left me in a puddle of weepy tears - you changed your name to MightyPamela, so you ended up stuck in pending!
YOU ARE A HOOT!!!!!
I know, and it was a hoot being in there!! My first time, I believe, so it is a grand and glorious day! Thus proclaimeth Hopefruit!
And thus so shall it be from thence onward. The one and only, Mighty Pamela.
It is all because of you hf2, you are a mover and a shaker, right up there with POTUS, FLOTUS VPOTUS and The Queen of England!
HaHa! WhoopWhoop and hallelujah! Just wait until VC gets her eyeballs fixed on THIS!
(my very first title!) 
I had better get some tucker in me, gotta try to stay calm, in case Her Majesty is reading along! 
I am here, MP, and feeling quite proud to be able to say I knew you when… VERY WELL DONE!!!
Sorry I missed the official ceremony with the sword tap on the shoulders, etc, because that would have been MY first such ceremony. {{{MP}}} Hugging you one more time before ‘someoneâ tells me you canât hug/touch royalty. GREAT SLEUTHING!!!
{{{{{{{VC}}}}}} I done sumptinâ good, and I got a really truly prize!
Really, really excellent work, my dear Mighty Pamela!!! I can see you still bouncing around with unrestrained joy… as it should be.
Thank you very much, VC. I share with you that the buoyant mood stayed with me the entire time while I had to clean the microwave after my dinner blew up in there…. And it was a MESS! no sweatinâ the small stuff, not us, right?!
Right. No sweating.
So, are you now bouncing around on an empty stomach?
đš đ
MIghtier than ever, you get bonus honesty points
I believe it is a Native American custom to add a name or change ones name as life achievements are conquered, right? Didnât we learn that from Little Big Man?
We learned a lot from Little Big Man - “snake eyesâ, for instance. (One of my favorite movies ever…)
there are days when all one can say is : Thanks Almighty that PBO & BDF Biden are in charge - so many responsibilities, so much patience & intelligence needed to move us through to a better world
The women in their native clothes looked so happy and proud. Susan Collins seemed a little cool. The baby in the Presidents arms is so beautiful.
yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
Rock on!
SCOTUS Justiceâs Roberts and Scalia trying to pull the wool over our collective heads, sorry youâve been had…..
That is so nice Chipsticks. The kids really like hanging out with FLOTUS, and they love learning the dougie. Real cute video.
‘…hanging out with Mrs. Obaaama!â I think it was ‘amaaazingâ too, my little one. (I love that little girl who let her joy hang out!)
We have the best-est FIRST FAMILY when it comes to reaching out and enfolding everyone in each circumstance. This video is such a fitting segue to the POTUS nurturing that little one. Iâve said this before and I really believe it - there is going to be an entire new generation of voters who were turned on to politics because of the love of Michelle Obama and Barack Obama and so many of them will have had positive personal experiences to reminisce about.
I agree Vick C.
It is indeed cool to have a President and First Lady who inspire the young and old.
Chips,
I know you are busy but if you have some time, you could remind us about the high incidence of violence against women among the First Nationsâ boundaries and how much of this was rarely prosecuted.
Specifically I do not know if you are able to add the video of the lady who cried while introducing PBO. The lady I am referring to is the First American victim of sexual violence who broke down while introducing PBO & POTUS had to come out early to hold her & help her not fall totally apart. Thanks
Hi Linda, I think this is the video:
Yes, this is the video of the event I was referring to.
Thanks a lot! you are fast!!!!
each time the media would mention that the rightwingers were opposing renewal of VAWA because it included Native Americans, I would think back to this event.
She broke my heart as she told he story. But this event revealed a whole lot about this “Skinny Kid With A Funny Name” and how very lucky were are that he chose to go into public service & now is in charge
This is the first time I have seen this - appreciate you talking about the occasion GCL and CC for finding the visual. There is so much pain being brought out into the open during this administration , and so many opportunities for healing/justice being nurtured.
What on earth has been the rationale for republicans opposing the inclusion of Native Americans in the VAWA??
Thanks to our powerful Chipsticks and her Mighty helpers for finding the photos and videos to post for us to enjoy. Because my homestead is Eastern South Dakota, I needed to go to go to google and look for something to add. We have traveled many times between Gillette nd Sioux Falls on I-90. Just out of range of the Rapid City radio stations before FM and eight tracks and tapes and Cdâs and Syrus-XM, I am posting a little of what we heard. It is dedicated to all women affected by VAMA and especially Lisa.
i highly recommend the new book by louise erdrich, titled ‘the round houseâ. excellent read, beautiful spare prose, gripping story of a woman and her family. tells the tale of an indian familyâs coping after the mother is assaulted. anyone who has been concerned about native american women on reservation lands, and their vulnerability resulting from bizarre prosecution boundary laws, should read this book. anyone who loves good writing and a good story should read it too!
Thank you Susanne. I will look for it now. If anyone lives near a Tribal Nation, or want to travel to a Pow Wow, I highly recommend going to one if they have an open house. It is a great experience. At least the one I went to was great. They welcomed us to join in their dance. We may have looked silly, but I never felt out of place. Pres. Obama is truly “one who helps others through out the land”.
Pete Souza keeps showing pictures of PBO with the ladies
Thank you for those pics from the signing Chips - True diversity - no other administration has ever included all the citizens in this fashion - a joy to see.
Breaking: North Korea says it is scrapping all non-aggression pacts with South Korea, closing its hotline with Seoul and its crossing point between the two countries.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-21709917
Wonder who stirred all this up in North Korea? Talk about harm from within - just what is needed - another war - sigh.
Itâs all posturing before the next weekâs UN vote for more sanctions with even chinese chipping in. If that weirdo kid even hints at acting up, they will be squelched like a bug.
The timing of a gungho so called sports person visiting is obscene - to be polite about it - anyone from the US who communicates outside of the administration should also be squelched like a bug.
ah geeze North Korea. another little bag of crazy. Hey. I know. Letâs send the tea party part of congress there. theyâll fit right in.
Jesus. So the Rodman diplomacy worked a treat?
A caricature with another caricature. He is so last week.
rodman needs to go back to N Korea. At least while he was with Kim, we knew they were watching basketball & not loading nukes
We can send Michael Jordon, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, to see that nut in North Korea.
The mediaâs reaction to Sen Paul is EXACTLY what impacts polls and so called vies of the Presidentâs support. Those who take the time to answer a survey (especially a robot one) are more often than not people who have been listening to the latest b.s.
The last 4 years have opened my eyes to the media like nothing before (not even 9/11 had that impact). What a babe I was.
I had to tweet back that I stand with Pres. Obama. Idjit.
Thank you, Chipsticks, you are so very kind, and good to us peeps! Bbl.
Richard Engel harrowing abduction told in his own words…
There is a very special space in my heart for this beautiful spirit of a young man. I wish for all the perfect and great gifts still out there for Jon. Make his life be lived with fullness of continued greatness serving people all over this world.
Two lives met and together wrote a part of history that we all will take dear to our hearts. Thanks Mr. President and Jon Favreau. Blessings and love always spring forth from your mind, soul, and spirit through your pen, Jon. Make the pages your wrote with this president forever be a part of our lives and your life, young man. We thank you, Mr. Favreau.HZ
should read, “May the pages…..HZ
oh yawn. I donât know why but Iâm bushwacked. Iâm a gonna go to bed
nitey nite. If I wake up later iâll be back.
thanks Chips for all you do. I donât say it enough but I think it!
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Sleep well my lovely!!! Thank you.
Gânite alice. Sleep tite. Donât let Rand Paul bite.
I love how these equal rights orgs are quick to lavish praise on Clinton but relatively slow to do the same for PBO - who has done far more (against more hostile opposition) to actually get equal rights than most recent Presidents…
Really? This triangulator is now writing against one of his many fuck-ups just when Obama had the real courage to go to supremes against his fuck-up?
Exactly - thatâs the issue Iâm having with this kind of hypocrisy. Almost 20 years after he lives the Oval office,he pens an op-ed, and is deemed a hero for doing so.
Heâs thinks heâs paving the way for Hillary run in 2016. Not going to happen. I will work hard against her.
methinks HRC is smarter than him.
Without question, she is. I do not believe she is interested in being president. I suppose we shall see.
Apologies ~ that is backwards, I believe she is not interested in being president. (teachers and librarians, forgive me).
yup.
Funny enough I didnât see it that way. I actually thought (given he did mess up back then - the times were different, after all) that it was heartening to see him stepping forward now to say it was a wrong move that needs to be corrected. Indeed, Iâm not a fan of his, but I found the tone of the op-ed appropriate,
//…
On March 27, DOMA will come before the Supreme Court, and the justices must decide whether it is consistent with the principles of a nation that honors freedom, equality and justice above all, and is therefore constitutional. As the president who signed the act into law, I have come to believe that DOMA is contrary to those principles and, in fact, incompatible with our Constitution.
…//
I have my problems with Bill Clinton, but on the subject of gay rights, I cut him some slack. American society has evolved a lot in twenty years.
Yes America has evolved on gay rights! But the issue I have with gay activists is that the are willing to “cut (Bill Clinton) some slack,” but they are not willing to do the same for President Obama.

US household wealth regains pre-recession peak
WASHINGTON (AP) - It took 5 1/2 years.
Surging stock prices and steady home-price increases have finally allowed Americans to regain the $16 trillion in wealth they lost to the Great Recession. The gains are helping support the economy and could lead to further spending and growth.
The recovered wealth - most of it from higher stock prices - has been flowing mainly to richer Americans. By contrast, middle class wealth is mostly in the form of home equity, which has risen much less.
Household wealth amounted to $66.1 trillion at the end of 2012, the Federal Reserve said Thursday. That was $1.2 trillion more than three months earlier and 98 percent of the pre-recession peak.
Further increases in stock and home prices this year mean that Americansâ net worth has since topped the pre-recession peak of $67.4 trillion, private economists say. Wealth had bottomed at $51.4 trillion in early 2009.
“Itâs all but certain that we surpassed that peak in the first quarter,” said Aaron Smith, senior economist at Moodyâs Analytics.
Household wealth, or net worth, reflects the value of assets like homes, stocks and bank accounts minus debts like mortgages and credit cards. National home prices have extended their gains this year. And the Standard & Poorâs 500 index, a broad gauge of the stock market, has surged 8 percent so far this year.
Now WHOâS fault is THIS???
The skinny guy with the funny name! Thank you!!!
They must have misplaced mine…
Mine as well, maryl1, I suspect my bank account has become a slow seeping sieve… Somehow, never having extra $$ to gamble on the stock exchange, it seems with no income, money just does not replace itself. Very wearing on the nerves…..
What!!!!!!!!!! No money tree in your backyard?
damn the bad luck! Me either…. 
Not any more, remember it blew down in that ice storm we had in January 2011…. It was actually an Italian black plum tree, and the lovely thing about it was every year it brought forth the mightiest, loveliest plums, so even if you had only a little money, there were masses of plums to eat, to freeze, to can, and the local fauna were very happy feeding in there all day and all night. Raccoons knew where to find the fruit, possums, (rats too), and they no longer come. No reason to.
Thinks itâs in the hands of the few.
Thanks Linda:
Thank you Chips. I hadnât seen that.
Maximum water works here!
On Jan 20 2017, I will shed some tears not just for PBO, but for VP Biden. I donât think we will see a VP like this in a long, long long time. Thatâs all I have to say for now.
Credit to PBO.
I remember a lot of people who criticized this choice and suggested VP Biden be replaced by Hillary Clinton in 2012.
So tired of the clueless US commentariat.
criquet, When I heard that, the first thing I said was Hell NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The best POTUS-VPOTUS combo evah.
Amen, amk!!! Evah. HZ
I donât even want to think about that day when POTUS and FLOTUS walk out of that White House for the last time. VP Biden too.
I must say that as a woman I do feel better knowing that we have a President that is in womenâs corner. I am also proud to be left-handed like him.
Ditto that, vl…….on both accounts.
Are you a lefty, too? Cool!
Why did PBO make his first trip after re-election to Burma? Economic…..Human Rights……Censorship…..When a POTUS
shows up anywhere in the world, it bears fruit, in only a way the President of the United States can
Succinct and to the point. Awesome.

And a MUST READ
Thatâs what I get for posting without reading the whole thread. I just posted the same thing at the end of this thread, with the same words: MUST READ! Great minds…?
ABL has the great mind…I just agree with her:) Iâm certain, however, that you have a great mind:) Must Read, for sure!
My only quibble is that Cheney was acting President and ordered those igniter jets to prepare to take out the passenger plane. W was flying around in Air Force one sh-ting his pants. I remember reading about what Cheney was doing in that underground bunker in the WH.
From the article…
The Presidentâs legal authority to act in a situation like that isnât the authority to use drones or the authority to use fighter jets; itâs the authority to use lethal military force…
*******************************************************

Look out this might be a future ticket….
Love Kamala Harris. True friend to both POB and VPBiden. She has a great future in her core. Love her on the west coast.HZ

Love you! Love you! Thanks, Alycee:)
Why isnât WY on there? We look like Tennessee.
Thanks for the pics, Ms. Chipsticks, blog owner extraordinaire!
It is these kinds of pics that make many republicans sick to their stomachs because they show diverse groups of Americans who love, admire, and support our awesome president.
Some people say President Obama plays 11th-dimensional chess, otherâs say its his “Aloha” upbringing, its a combo of all…….
OK trying verbatim: ..Anything can happen in this world….heâs doing a great job b/c he did take over a WH that was kinda half clean, bills wasnât paid,doors were unlocked, cars werenât running….He had to get things back in order, before he could actually put his plan together. So I feel so blessed that they gave him a 2nd opportunity, 2nd run…to keep this country floating in the right direction.
Aristotle——-> scratch that Snoop Lion 3/7/13 A.D. Couldnât have said it better my man….much respect!
Kenya election is a nailbiter. The second place Odinga closed a double digit gap to within 5 points and front runner Kenyatta is just below 50% mark. Counting completed in 185/290 constituencies. If the winner doesnât clear 50%+1 mark (the mittbot margin), there will be a run-off.
Let us all send Harry Reid a thank you not once again, and for that matter the retiring Senator Carl Levin:
This is the best thing Iâve read on drones etc. This is a must read!

The NRA is starting a campaign targeting urban communities, Russell Simmons isnât having none of it! Open Letter:
The last thing we need is more guns in our neighborhood. We already are seeing to many of our people kill. So my message to the NRA is go to Hell.
OT.
Oh please you ole sailor, sheâs not to old fer you!
At 71? That would be a cumulative age of over 120 years sleeping in the same bed. She might give me worms.
Poor man.
I had to go scrounge around to find this, Yardarm, to see for myself (since she wonât be in any history books Iâll be reading, as FLOTUS will be), and hereâs what the fake-orange-haired Westwood looks like. Your description is spot on.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/vivienne-westwood
Just as I suspected. A Lucille Ball wannabe and just as old!
On the other hand, hereâs what Sophia Loren looked like at age 71 (in â06) - what a difference a real smile makes … and Iâll leave it at that! (Eat your heart out, Westwood!)
http://www.exposay.com/at-age-71-actress-sophia-loren-is-set-to-be-a-calendar-cover-girl/v/2541/
Be still my foolish heart.
no kidding, yardarm
Vivienne Westwood is a ugly old orange hair woman. Itâs clear she is ugly on the outside and inside. And if that were some of her designs, they were ugly too.
all I can say is YUCK….she is so harsh looking
And mean to our FLOTUS!
you got it, JOB
The only problem that woman have is FLOTUS havenât given any of her designs the time of day. I am willing to bet more people know who Jason Wu is than Vivienne Westwood. And that is what is eating that old bat alive.
The bat should eat faster then and get to her nasty mouth.
I just watched PBO with the Lakota sister in the vid above. I had to come on and mention that a RWNJ stated told me that PBO has no resolve, no passion, nothing about which he cares (except golf and vacations apparently) and, in watching this vid, I knew that this man had more resolve and passion than this wingerâs beloved Rand. I know for a fact that the First Nations of Canada (Native Americans) have a huge love of President Obama. Surely with this, one can see why.
Many American Indian tribal leaders have openly admitted that PBO is the best president theyâve ever dealt with, and that if he makes a promise to them, he keeps it. Many on the right know that GWB wasnât good at his job, and they know he left the country in a devastated condition. I believe that in order for them to soothe their consciences, they have to ignore this and use a very common racial stereotype when they say anything about PBO-heâs lazy. In addition to this, they project onto PBO every quality that was definitely a part of GWBâs make up-a lack of resolve, no passion for anything except baseball, and whose main reason for wanting to be POTUS was to impress his father.
OK TOD calling it a nite…..leave you with one of my favorite videos of late, the travels of a multitude of counties over 7 years. Enjoy!
The Lovely plains: That was absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing.
Sweet sleep TOD folks.
Thank you Chips for another glorious day at the place that I call my “Cloud 9.”
These Repugs, emprogs/PL, tea partyKKK members are losing their crazy minds day after day.
So glad to know POTUS and VP Biden are “Still Standing” tall for us after all they have to go through.
I love these. Thanks for sharing.
firefox update to 19.0.2 version.
Are we supposed to do that:) ??You KNOW how computer illiterate some of us are! ( Like ME)
Yes. Click Help (in the top tool bar), then click “about firefox” and check for updates. It will download the update and ask you to restart after the installation. Takes about 2 minutes.
Thank you, amk:) Mine was up to date!
Great news!! I think EVERYONE needs to put this in their stores
http://www.alternet.org/food/corporate-food-giants-have-reason-worry-some-very-brave-supermarkets-are-sharing-nutritional
The NuVal numbers are the brainchild of David L. Katz, M.D., MPH, an adjunct associate professor at the Yale School of Medicine. A dozen doctors and nutritionists, funded by the nonprofit Griffin Hospital in Derby, Conn., developed the scoring system, based on 30 factors including vitamins, fiber, salt, sugar, fat quality, protein quality, glycemic load, energy density and calories. From the public health evidence about those factors, they constructed an algorithm that processes the data into a single number. As new food science research is published, and as products are reformulated by their manufacturers, the algorithm and the individual scores are updated. (If thatâs happened to any of the products Iâve mentioned, Iâll be glad to revise the numbers online.)
Itâs a miracle that some 30 retail food chains are adopting the scores. You wonât find them at Whole Foods or Trader Joeâs, and from the locations page of the NuVal website it looks like the only chain in my neck of the woods — Kroger, which in Los Angeles owns Ralphs and Food4Less — is running a “pilot program in select areas” (Kentucky, apparently). But Lunds and Byerleyâs, which use NuVal, are venerable markets in Minnesota, as is King Cullen on Long Island, N.Y.; grocers in the NuVal fold arenât just a bunch of crunchy hippies.
Not sure if this has been posted, but I personally didnât think of this take on the arrests … so akin to what happened one other time when President Obama was dining with the WHPCA:
Question: Curious to know if Donald Trump requested to see his birth certificate?
