Glad to hear you're doing better.  Yeah, sometimes the quacks are onto something, and these days, some doctors are recommending probiotics after antibiotics.  My rule of thumb is that if people have eaten something since time immemorial, like yoghurt with bacterial cultures, then it's probably not going to hurt.  Indeed, the scientific thinking that monosaturated fats contributed to cardiovascular disease was very quickly challenged because people eating Mediterranean diets dripping with olive oil didn't get a lot of CVD.

And I think you're correct that a lot of times, people try quackery because science has nothing more to offer.  The Goop website is targeted at women, and there's an interesting article in Macleans about how part of the problems is that, aside from the reproductive system and breast cancer, there hasn't been a lot of medical research specific to women.

Total bologna. Schools in poorer neighborhood are not funded less than public schools in wealthy neighborhoods. A district like 4J goes to great lengths to make sure that is not happening. And rich people can't just give money to their neighborhood school. The district takes a big chunk  and there are all sorts of regulations dictating how the money is spent and  preventing just the scenario you claim exists.


I am ProLife and don't want my TAX $$$$ paying for abortions let alone pills.  I understand it's the law so yes provide abortions for those who choose but make them pay for it?   Interesting with all the education and advances we have made through the years these woman still don't get that intercourse without protection can lead to a baby.   VERRRYY INTERESTING !  Spare me the argument about costs, it's not about they can't afford the pills it's their choice how they spend their money, i.e.. cell phones, restaurants (not many people stay home and cook these days) bars, entertainment.


A hundred years ago you'd be worried about papists wouldn't you?


I can understand distaste for Obama (though I don't share it), and distrust of the Clintons (which I do share).  But if Jenkins can't see that these people don't belong in the same truthiverse as Trump, I can't help him.  To me, that's as obvious as the difference between night and day.

Obama and the Clintons lied in the traditional political manner--relatively limited lies to conceal shortcomings or deflect blame.  They understood the difference between truth and lie, and assumed that being caught in the latter was politically damaging.  Trump, on the other hand, lies in the expansive sense of simply not caring about the difference.  Trump's pathological psychology seems to tell him that whatever looks in his interest to say now must be true, and by a sort of galloping process, the "truth" tomorrow can simply cancel out yesterday's "truth."  Trump's lies aren't just quantitatively far beyond those of the Democrats, they are qualitatively as different as one species from another.


Please do not capitalize Democratic Republic - not referring to either the Democratic of Republican Parties! East Germany was a Democratic Republic!  The only "mob" I see here is the mob the other day in Issaquah.  Maybe one problem with a democracy is that it represents the majority whatever that may be at the time.


Have anybody ever smoke salmon with cannabis.i don't know if they can but its a new idea.i mean smoked cannabis salmon,or smoked caribou,beef. I wonder if it's even possible.


We all understand how important it is not to forget historical injustices such as the holocost or slavery in America and the enduring racism it caused. We cannot forget lest such injustice return. Yet while remaining vigilant against injustice, we should not create more injustice. That is about to happen to Ms. Shurtz. Some who have known her testify here that she is no racist. Others including colleagues who may not know her well or at all call for her long and productive career to be ended. That would be a shameful injustice. Allow her time to reflect and apologize, then forgive her. Is that, after all, not the goal of racial healing? Or is intimidation a better tool for healing than forgiveness? I think it is not.


I don't think so either.  Why would anyone intentionally make himself look foolish?


Calm down PC.he didn't say he had more rights, he just wanted to know if you served your country in any way and helped preserve this rights. You obviously didn't and became very defensive. You are arguing about nothing. Drama queen moment at best.


Don't worry...he will get off....laws only apply to people who aren't white and wealthy.


You mean they don't show up after you submit your comment?


Roe v. Wade is not going away.  Not even if he winds up appointing a couple of Supreme Court Justices, a not unlikely possibility.

Putin is going to try to take over the Ukraine and keep the US from putting missiles in Poland and other nations next to Russia.   NATO states are the ones who are going to have to accept primary responsibility for the reaction to that position.  The US does not have to be the lead on it either.

70% of the US claims to be Christian; only 15% claim to be agnostic or atheist.  The odds are many of his advisors will not be agnostics or athiests.  Neither are Obama's.

How many of the death's in Libya can we blame on Obama?  He and Hillary went for 'regime change' and caused the deaths of Qadaffi and his sons.  How many Syrian deaths can we blame on Obama?  He said ISIL was JV and could be ignored.  He is the one who drew a 'red line' for Assad and then caved.  Obama is also the one who said we would be out of Afghanistan last year.  What happened?


Point taken but recently his activism appears limited to bad Hollywood films ;)


Boring clichéd comment....


Someone of interest to Canadians who was also named in the Panama Papers is very own Bill Morneau:

.


After almost 18 years the county finally came down and cut a tree down at the washout on Oil City Road, two days ago.
I guess that is their fix for the washout that will kill or injure someone.


It's time for local governments to appreciate the true cost of capital.


You may want to look at some actual facts. The world in general is getting much better and is likely to continue to do so. Yes there are some pockets of failure, Russia, much of the Middle East and especially Syria, any economy dependent on oil ... but the overall longterm trends are encouraging. Obama is a right of centre centrist, hardly a voice for even the moderate left. And as someone who actually has to spend a lot of time in the US and walks through all parts of the cities he visits and takes the time to talk to different people my impression is that in the progressive states relations between different cultures are making two steps forward for each step back.


Go Badgers! and Go Buffs!


Desmond is a ground ball machine. Even his base hit last night was a groundout generously scored. If Parra really needed a night off, why not give Tapia some playing time?


Yes but this is a products used many hrs a day and also makes standing in line,  palatable (I hate standing in line or waiting).   Same with my 4K Sony TV,  used a lot and saves on sporting events.      Lots of technology is such a small package.   You have to pay for THAT.


In what way?


Pot stocks!

Bet on them. Gonna be twice as big as booze.


Roe vs. Wade isn't going away...  Roberts will rule in favor of it because he doesn't like rocking the boat on these things.  He ruled how he did with the ACA case for the same reason.  And people are probably going to suggest that Ted Cruz get the Scalia appointment.  He will be an easy confirmation because it means getting rid of Ted Cruz from the Senate.

And yes, Trump is likely to appoint Souter or one of his NYC buddies to another one of the openings.


Beats working


When things don't make sense, there is usually a market failure or perverse incentive at work somewhere.


Vote for Trump.  He has pledged to stop buying oil from the middle east that supports terrorism and has destabilized the World.  The price of oil will recover with a Trump Presidency.


Welcome to Canada, Malala. We hope you can reach the minds of confused Muslims and help usher in a new era of reformation.


Can you apply this to the syndicated writers as well ? (i.e. Eugene Robinson)


"Bill vanished until people forgot about the numerous scandals."
No, I think they just lost interest because there was nothing there.


If both those roads had been built (and I don't remember ever hearing about an elevated highway on Bloor) the problem would be even worse. Where do you think all those cars coming off an expressway to downtown would go?


Doesn't surprise me. All too often, it's the poor who pay their bills, and the rich who don't.


Actually there is.  Canada seems to be one of a very few countries with unrestricted access to late term abortions.  I have always considered myself pro choice but I have concerns about the abortion of a healthy fetus in the third trimester, and the impact that has on the law, meaning that those who beat women and cause them to lose their unborn babies cannot be charged with murder.


I usually agree with your comments but back the bus up. Questionable UN findings aside, this is how it is done. Exactly how it is done.

Formidable squad, all of them.


The comments are always a cesspool of idiotic comments - no wonder less than 0.1% of G&M readers ever even open them


Plainthinker, being the parasite that he is I will always chuckle at the taxpayer. We all know what a sucker he is.


APD reflects Anchorage and its racist past and present (geez are you deaf and dumb and can't read?) and most of Alaska is also rooted in that kind of mess. It's no wonder the schools do not teach Alaska history at all.


While there are extreme ideological factions in both the Democrats and Republicans, there has been a marked shift in Democratic ideology since the Iraq war. I always viewed them as a moderate party and the Republicans less so. This shift has been met by an equal response from the Republicans and the gap grows wider. Now the Dems are the first to set their hair on fire and cry wolf at every turn. They protest and riot. They are not very moderate at all.


What a ridiculous post.  Nobody is talking about "the entire clan".  It is a narrow ruling to include grandparents.  When did the GOP get so hysterically mean that they don't consider grandparents an integral part of a family.  I thought the GOP was the party of "family values".  Guess not.


I'm telling you guys if we just give massive tax cuts to oil producers and the wealthy, this problem would be gone tomorrow. We'd have so much GDP people would be all like "aw, not more GDP, we already have enough." Kind of like when your freezer is full of salmon and then your idiot buddy shows up with a "gift" of more salmon because he was having so much fun dipnetting on the Kenai and it was his god given right as an Alaskan to take 25 salmon home so he took all 25 knowing full well the kids are sure not eating salmon every night all winter when there is a goddamn McDonald's right up the road that serves Happy Meals. That is what a maasive tax cut would be like only with GDP. So let's do it and bathe in that sweet, sweet trickle down!


Yet one more competitor to Alaskan oil, keeping prices down.


Similar to what Bombardier B class shareholders is experiencing.


You're correct that much of the  press information is heavily "America" biased.  There isn't a lot of info presenting the "other side" of the situation, because that largely goes against the grain of the flag waving here.  After talking to several people who have close ties to Iran, I discovered that their government is accepted largely to protect them from us.  Considering what we've done over there, I can easily see why they feel that way.  Most Americans think it's some religious ideology as the basis for their dislike of America, when in reality it's a response to our behavior there.

But, the info does exist, especially nowadays.  And, stepping back and going through history while piecing that together with our behavior and the situation, the truth will be apparent.  Trouble is, to truly understand the truth, one has to drop their guard and be willing to be wrong.  Many here refuse to do that...hence the partisan garbage when both sides do basically the same thing.


Great!  Bikes taking over the roads.  Trolleys taking over the roads.  Homeless taking over the roads and sidewalks.  Pedestrians forced onto the roads and not paying attention. Parking stalls disappearing.  Someone please remind me what the original intent of the roads were?  LOL!!


Yeah. some people really hate a leader who actually leads. In Canada we prefer someone that reads all the right cue-cards and then does what he wants anyway because it's so much nicer this way.


They actually can't develop that land. It's part of the Kapiolani Trust. In fact, a lot of things the zoo has thought of doing to try and raise revenue have run into problems with the trust, who have an apparently very broad definition of what counts as commercial activity within the park.


Whether or not drones are a threat...those who hate America are the main threat to all of us...we used to jail those who were a threat to the rest of us but now we give them sanctuary cities....


Do you agree that unworthy reception of Holy Communion is a grave sin?


I'm reading the comments and I'm seeing Hillary's name but not Manafort's. Hard to stay on topic when your man loves the Russians and tries to defeat Democracy in the Ukraine.  I can see why he works for little hands.


I remember Von, he used to be great... whatever happened to him?


You're batting .000 tonight.


Interesting to see you've swallowed the whole fear-mongered inner city he'll hole lie. I live in a Democrat led town. Lowest unemployment in the US. I walk around freely.
I can always tell who has never traveled. I travel alot and the America portrayed by the fear-mongering idiots is NOT the America that is out there.


Get rid of the stupid people and problem solved.


And any report by Pembina, Forest Ethics, Tides, Suzuki or their ilk are balanced in their viewpoint ? They certainly don't represent taxpayers either and are only interested in the environment from their own little narrow view and only if it is to their benefit.


Now, maybe it's just my sense of humour (admittedly, "warped," much of the time, by what I read on these pages), but I suspect that writer Caroline Alphonso is really have a chuckle. Her choice of final two lines is classic. Student quote: "I think if you read those traditional books, the school isn't touching on everybody's interest...It's not super relatable."

I THINK I understand what the student means. But the point is this: if students aren't taught to articulate their thoughts any better than this, then educators (not to mention parents) have bigger issues than the choice of reading material provided to teenage readers. Yes, yes, I know: it's a verbal comment, not a written comment. And the written work may be much better.  Sure.


Without the EPA many of our largest cities would look like Beijing with citizens required to wear gas masks.  Without the EPA our rivers would be stagnant mires of toxins and dead fish.  Without the EPA every neighborhood could have a chemical dump next to the playground.  Without the EPA I shudder to think of the environmental disaster that we will be leaving for our children and their children.  Never in US history has any polluter voluntarily cleaned up their act.  Being environmentally responsible costs big polluters money and they would far rather have that money than give a darn about leaving a livable environment for the rest of us.  Just another disaster that Trump will leave behind in his total devotion to his big money pals.

The dummy's presidency has been in a state of constipation from day one.


Great FB team , how about less then average FB team !


Yes, Calgary did not cascade into a Canada Wide Recession, we believe that the economic stupidity of home values in Toronto and Vancouver kept the economy buoyant. However, when these two markets fall, as they will, it will be like the tide going out and all the ships will drop!


Disco, hottub or whatever Joe you want to call yourself, it's disgustingly stupid comments like this  that render anything insightful you might have to say on other stories meaningless.

You have yourself a super tolerant day now Joe.


It's a non-issue with other coaches because they dress appropriately for their team and sport.


I did take one accurate word from your diatribe - 'stupid'.


We end up like the USA by immersing ourselves in the divisive identity politics prevalent there.


Rochdale68 is a troll.  Read his/her/its comment above - who mistakes the word "do" for "due"?  Only someone/something that doesn't know English or relies too much on a spell-Czech-err.

Don't feed the troll.


Apartheid was defeated by the investment sanctions and the refusal of foreign banks to roll over loans.
Defeated is also a misn omer as no-one surrendered - De Klerk and the Nats negotiated a settlement.
The major contribution that mass mobilisation made in the form of the MDM and UDF was to successfully obby these overseas Western governments and lending istritutions.
Trade sanctions were largely by-passed through middle men and sourcing goods via countries like Taiwan and Israel.


Not to worry, they will all get together again during the next gay parade in Toronto


This proposal is so incredibly stupid it's astounding that it has progressed this far.

OK, so all the natural gas going to Vancouver ultimately gets shut off.  What will replace it?  Electricity.  And who said there is no need for the power that site C will produce?  Oh right, we can buy power from the US, putting ourselves more at the mercy of the orange buffoon.

The real buffoon in Vancouver is Gregor Robertson.


It only shows that nowadays, with GPS, store bought groceries and bottled water, compasses,  satellite communication, modern fiberglass boat hulls, and fresh crew changes at each stop - that humans can survive while at sea.  A far far cry from the ancient polynesians that were truly noble mariners. What does this voyage prove - absolutely nothing of value except to feed the egos of some. Worse, it should bring shame on those who try to capitalize on the efforts of their forefathers.


Is that all you know how to type?
Tedious.

Ambrose has been doing a good job.

A real shame that she cannot take on the permanent leadership.


"Sweat the little things" is still a very effective philosophy.


http://labor.alaska.gov/lss/forms/sum-wh-act-1.pdf is the Wage and Hour Act summary, where you'll find listed exemptions:

"An independent taxicab driver who establishes the driving area and hours, who contracts on a flat rate basis for use of the cab, permit or dispatch services, and who is compensated solely by the customers served;"

Many cab companies in Fairbanks try to dictate "driving area and hours" to drivers and have refused to lease a cab to those unwilling to play along. They view the whole "independent contractor" thing as a liability / tax dodge and effectively treat their drivers as employees

As for the state, this exemption passed into law in 1993. While the taxi business did lobby for it, I know many folks who served in or worked for the legislature at the time. I was told that the Teamsters Local 959, which had fallen rather far in the post-Jesse Carr era, was trying to organize cab drivers in Anchorage and there was concern on their part about that.


"In this case, it's not "politicians" having their associates indicted. It's Trump"
That's obvious. But stating Trump's shady associations aren't surprising indicates those of other politicians are not. It's the sleazy world of politics. There's a reason why Americans view politicians and used car salesmen in the same light. It's not exactly a career to be admired.


I am just posting the actual numbers of members in the 3 different groups.  Yeah corrupt as the mob.  Creating "special rules" to take away our federal, state and Hawaiian Kingdom rights.  The courts vacated the rules and those falsely arrested were not charged. Sad in a place where we have to fight to protect our water and sacred places. You know Ige kicked the freedom of the pess off the Mauna to prevent the media seeing his crimes


To harvest the comments to build profile "personality traits" on Alaskans.


a mechanism based on public health not the wealth of some private industry and the returns for investors. This may very well be an operation that operates on a loss - which is perfectly fine with me as long as our loved ones get the health care they deserve. You seem to overlook the main advantage that a nationalized system has - that's an economy of scale beyond what any private industry has.


my step-daughter is the Anchorage hospital waiting to die from an opiod overdose that happened Dec. 20. Only her brain stem is keeping her alive now, and it's been 12 days waiting. The MRI is as bad as it gets, so says the neurologist. 'm so sorry for your loss, I do know your pain. I've been in AA almost all my life. Only the truly lost seem to have the open mind necessary for those 12 steps. I've watched a great many die. Treatment options are standardized because no one but the gov can afford it... Some programs, like the First Step Farm, which are one year programs are funded with private donations as well as grants. Keeping this war on drugs going is insane. The money on courts and jail could provide a lot more options out there for help.


You need a top notch legal team!


The GOP is working on the third time they tank the economy with trickle down economics.  When will they realize that if you tax the top a bunch they just make it back with the economic increase it creates.  They think money is made hiding it overseas.  That just kills the economy.  Money needs to move for a healthy economy.  The way to make it move is to put it in the hands of the workers who need basics at this point because you have been screwing us for decades since Reagan started this mess.


Exactly.  And once born,  if you can't make it on your own, you have a duty to die and get out of the way.


Trump has now said again today, for about the tenth time:  He has no businesses in Russia, no loans from Russia, no deals with Russia.
The FBI says Flynn did not lie to them nor did he collude with Russia.

What is the issue?


these are always the dudes with a mullet or a man bun trying to look tough at the mall. have a good time in the rebar hotel beavis n butthead


Finally, an explanation of how Trump was elected!  (Lead reduces intelligence)


You're a hateful little cretin, aren't you?


What god are they praying to?  They removed reference to God at their 2016 convention.


House Democrats just introduced a “no confidence” resolution that questions Trump’s ability to serve as President.

This is exactly the kind of resolution we need right now: it includes a long list of objections to Trump’s conduct and holds him accountable for his inexcusable actions as President.

If Trump is determined to make a fool out of himself and embarrass the United States at every turn, we’ll support calling him out whenever possible.

Call and write to urge Congress to advance the “no confidence” resolution and hold Trump responsible for his actions.


One gets the feeling that with the Trudeau Liberals that they are unable to differentiate between speechmaking and actually making things happen.

This is not an uncommon trait amongst so called "progressives" who spend their lives jetting to conferences in desirable locations, where they make impassioned speeches - but don't achieve anything.


Difficult choices now must be made by the rest of the world.

Time for a world-wide boycot of tourism to the USA.  In fact, a boycott of all USA products and services is in order.  The time to stand up to this bully is now.  This insanity can not be condoned by the rest of the world.  If you spend your tourist dollars in the USA you are supporting tyranny.  It is just that simply.

ENOUGH.

A Catholic Women's Strike is one of my dreams.  I would envision all the women, nationwide, refusing to do any work of any kind for the church, including attend Mass, starting on a Thursday and ending on a Monday morning.  Pick a date, I'm in.


Here's a newsflash.

Canada hasn't really been able to rely on the US for global leadership since Franklin D. Roosevelt died in 1945.

The relationship has been mostly on the downhill slide since with very brief flashes of false hope, but the charade is now officially over with the Donald in the White House.

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”

— H. L. Mencken

Only instead of "perfected" in the above quote, substitute the word, "rejected."

not hypothetical at all, we've got everything to compare it to, like yrs of lousy local con attempts, nearly 30 CONtrolled states purposely going to hell, 50 horrific yrs of con history, and the ultimate examples in current affairs.
I'm assuming the ''pretty good stuff'' was Lingle's most minimal excuse of concern re Next Step and it's major leaky roof and bed bugs in a place which was supposedly for just one year. but nobody did anything substantial beyond that, it was merely a political ploy which Dems have perpetuated.
both parties suck but cons are the big sucky kings.


Howard Stern faced numerous FCC complaints during the Clinton and Obama administrations over things as silly as using a male body part to play the piano with.  On the radio.

To say this complaint is politically motivated, is absurd in the extreme.  It was very offensive to the gay community.

For an example on just how deep the silliness gets ...here in Canada...

Star Trek inspired licence plate deemed offensive in Manitoba - ctvnews.ca

But Troller got a phone call Wednesday from someone at Manitoba Public Insurance, who he says told him two people had complained that the word “assimilate” is offensive to indigenous people.

Muslim jokes are offensive to Muslims, that's why Justin is working on M-103.  Gay jokes are offensive to gays and obscure words connected to a star trek episode are offensive to natives.

This is the world the "progressive" left would have us live in.

Now back to youtube videos of left wingers violently assaulting Trump supporters.


Is not the issue of Bill Clinton on of reinventing the past? Whatever Clinton's behaviour is was a) after his election and b) his, not her behaviour.
One might well say that they wouldn't  have voted for Bill, "if they had known".  That's an afterthought and not valid in hindsight.
As to b), well it is obvious, or should be.


Incorrect.  Nothing you typed above is disrespectful.  ADN removed your comment that was disrespectful as I stated.  The comment you are reposting was not removed.  Nice try.


I'm not native...😜


She's as much a serial killer as you are truthful.

According to a 2011 survey by Islamic groups, there are now more than 2,000 mosques in the United States, an increase of nearly 100 percent since 2000.
Anti-jihad scholars estimate that 80 percent of U.S. mosques are funded by Saudi money.
The Saudis, however, viewed the release of 28 pages as vindication because the U.S. never proved that the government knew of or supported the plot.
Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir, a press aide under Prince Bandar when he was U.S. ambassador, sent out a number of statements on Twitter.
“Now that the declassification is complete, we hope to continue our close cooperation with the U.S. in the fight against terrorism,” he said. “Since 9/11, the Kingdom has embarked on a series of major steps to confront the men, money and mind-set that foments terrorism.”

And all the while Canadian consumers are being hosed by the Supply Management system but you could care less - that is the Liberal mentality hard at work.


If you had to study it, then why didn't your so-called study show up in your comment?


The photo has, apparently, been produced but was sealed by the judge. It was not taken from the side, in any case.


Why not discuss taking a trip that's been on the back burner.  Either an R&R or a tour depending on her tastes.
Broach the negativity subject when you get home.  Ask how she's adjusting to her retirement and what to substitute for her career challenge.  Never use the word 'negativity'.  Never use the word 'happy'.  Saying she doesn't 'seem like herself' with a few gentle examples will communicate your point.  Don't say, imply or suggest that you want to help her 'fix' her problem.  Women hate men who want to lunge in and fix things.  Offer your services by saying, "Is there something I am doing that I need to change?"  Or "something you want to talk about?"   Has she taken over all the drudgery now that she is retired?  Are you going out at least once a week.   Do you want her company in the home?  Do you have movie night? Hors d'oeuvres?  Getaway weekends?


Didn't consider that but you're right Lynn.

Data-mining!

What bloody nerve!

Outsiders like Hackendorn (and the guy responsible for his move here) have no respect for Alaska's precious and unique Right of Privacy clause (except when related to laws supported by Planned Parenthood, that is.)

Everybody wants to be the next social justice warrior, people need to learn to mind their own business.  As a person of Mexican heritage whose family came here the legal way, the illegals need to leave.  This is a society of laws, don't come illegally and claim it's your right, it's not.


It often is... but on the high side.  Not sure about the south end, but I-25 north of Denver really shouldn't have the 75 MPH speed limit on it that it does. There's WAY too much traffic for that speed, IMO.  It was fine with less traffic, but there's near constant compression points along the way now where you're doing 75 then have to slam on the brakes.  It's just not a very safe road at that speed with this much traffic.

IMO, they need to lower it to 70 or even 65.  Or better yet, install traffic sensors and electronic speed limit signs and employ variable speed limits.  When traffic is light, use a 75 MPH speed limit; when it's heavy drop it to 65.


Sears has only itself to blame for the situation it is in.  They had the market cornered for the internet shopping experience if they had wanted to, after decades of experience with the catalogue shopping experience.   They were tops in the market 10 years ago, if they had continued with the model they had.  Instead they went with outsourcing, which greatly led to the inability to control critical components of their sales.  I bought a fridge and a dishwasher 3 years ago that made me hesitant to ever buy an appliance from them.  They had great reputation in appliance sales.  Now they have little or no control over who installs their appliances.  My dishwasher had to be reinstalled by someone at Home Depot and my fridge was installed to the hot water line instead of the cold water line.  After they installed my dishwasher it kept falling out of its space because the installer forgot to put the brackets in that hold the dishwasher in place.   The same goes with retail experience.


I don't know if we really finished the tasks for any of these issues. There are still smoldering embers that need to be put out buried and blessed in mourning that so many many human lives were caught in the clogged wheels of humankinds inhumanity to humankind. But there were voices and words and action taken throughout our past. The best we can do at this point is took work together for the benefit of all- each and everyone of us. If that is not achieved we all and I mean all are in big trouble. It would be a tragedy for the best of our country and those who in whatever way tried to sustain the ideal of America were lost to us and to history.
I have tried really hard to use Lincoln's words in the last paragraph of his second Ignagural address- "with malice toward none and charity for all."
He was along with so many others like Sojourner Truth, Mother Seton, Thomas Merton, and I could go on naming a diverse and brilliant group of souls that tried to carry on despite everything.


Elway made a fair decision. Too many old players do you no good when you are rebuilding. You need a mix of experience and young healthy players. The Broncos are still one of the better teams. It is difficult to be great. The Broncos do a better job than most teams in consistency. Unlike other teams, they seem to always have a chance of making the playoffs. Only New England and Green Bay seem to have that consistency. San Francisco used to, but Kaepernick ultimately cost them during their rebuilding phase and now they are in the toilet.


Can't remember Trump giving a timeline. Don't worry though, the Swedes are blaming themselves for Muslims not assimilating ..


#5 is similar to the famous "1K yard stare" GI photos. He's obviously been to hell & back a few times. And for this German soldier and his 'Kammaraden' it's about to get much worse as Paulus' 6th Army pivots to its destruction at Stalingrad.

# "Say Hey!" Willie's amazing over the shoulder catch.

Good photos of two great Israelis:  Meir & Dyan.

#15 captures the rapport between two titans: The Gipper & The Iron Lady.  Sadly, the special relationship is on the skids.
Trump has interfered in the UK's internal affairs with mindless twitter attacks on Khan and publicly disclosing details of terror investigations.

At the best of times May is notoriously difficult to get along with, but Trump's gaffes along with his withdrawal from the Paris Accord, his cozying up to Macron, and his memorable UN speech have led May to be openly hostile toward Trump.

Trump's crudeness and May's prickly personality do not serve either nation well.


Maybe you do.  I don't live in a Democrat run hell hole (aka most of the big cities)  Where I live we control the gangs and crime not encourage it.


This is a self-limiting problem.


When Trump was caught saying that on tape he was 59 years old and newly married to his third wife.  Depending on when in 2005 it happened, he could have known she was pregnant with their child.

And I've never heard any man boasting of sexually assaulting women, in a locker room or anywhere.


Dad used to tell me over and over  "the car is meant to get you from A to B - period. Don't buy more or less than that.  And he was right.


Nor does it help to base one's every political reaction on hatred for the leader of the free world.


Do you still beleive that a German or Austrian has the right to force a baker to make a hitler cake?
I read some ridiculous things in here, but that has to be the most ridiculous opinion possbily made on Denver Post forums.

It would be great if you realized that no one has special rights. No member of a protected class has any special rights.

You are a member of at least three protected classes, did you know that?
Remember when you said that gays are not a protected class in Colorado?
I am still waiting for you to explain that silliness.


Is TULO still cashing his 250NET weekly cheque now that the Jays have been finished....or is this weekly luxury year round???


Haha, Batchi.


"...that transit disappeared from the scene due to HEAVY lobbying from oil, gas, and rubber (tires) industries."
Study more history, not just Al Gore's version. As the price of automobiles dropped, more people bought them because they represented freedom. They no longer had to walk for blocks to catch a streetcar running on a fixed schedule. They didn't have to transfer from one trolley to another. They could go wherever they wanted at whatever time.
I own a transportation research company. The evolution of public transit is more complicated than most people realize, and the books and articles written about transit is (typically) slanted toward the interest of the author.
Big oil didn't kill the privately-owned streetcars - changing demographics was the reason.


That and consantly lobbying for a bigger slice of the post-industrial welfare pie, which I suspect is this author's full time job while collecting an MP's salary.


People hearing the above over and over believe the above. And they all call for violence against our President Trump and 'supporters of'by the Far left Dems.

All I can say is, the ones saying that stuff just watched it unfold live at a baseball game practice. As it is also said, careful what you wish for, you might just get it.

Indeed.


Nurnie/Saullie: Kabi doesn't live here anymore, remember? He was shipped out with the other Sundancers.


typical left wing ignorants, never understand economics at all, since cutting income taxes will mean net MORE revenue for governments as it has been proven before when both reagan and jfk did it


Kaneshiro made an ill advised deal with a murderer who flipped on her accomplices. No jury is going to believe anything she says, it doesn't take a genius to figure that out.
Kaneshiro is still scratching his head, wondering where he went wrong again.


I doubt it's Mia Nelson. I think Mia is much better informed than 20-MNP, even though Mia was (last I knew) pushing SW-SAZ. Also, I think Mia's politically savvy enough not to say something as offensive as "I don't trust the neighbors ..."

Keep trying to stifle dissent and you will end up with an actual revolution.  She showed ISIS at their muslim best.  No wonder the eunuchs in Europe are scared of her.  She doesn't play nice with those who seek to destroy western civilization.


What an idiot.


Voters need to put an end to Christy Clark and her deceitful BC Liberal government.


It is too bad the authors of this article don’t live in Canada or they would know that Metro Vancouver is home to the WORLDS LARGEST DRIVERLESS TRANSIT SYSTEM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SkyTrain_(Vancouver) and --- it was developed in Ontario and sold to the GVRD in the 1980s. The first part opened in time for Expo 86. The whole system is 79.5 km long!


Ever hear of skinny-shaming? That's what I went thru. Sick or underfed? Call the authorities on my poor parents as I was wolfing down a dozen Sourdough Pancakes and venison chops smothered in wild mushroom gravy!  After giving birth, I walked out of the hospital in the same jeans I got pregnant out of! Oh, and at the doctor's, I was either viewed to be anemic, on illegal stimulants, or anorexic. It happens, Elise, and I feel your pain. There will be no Trump or Trump-like men in my life. Never was, never will. He sickens me.


And there will be those who will claim that every single one of these was justified.

Boy, sure sound rosy posy, don't they? Too much, in my view. They talk like snakes.


He's 65 and can leave with a gold plated pension. Enough said. Have a happy retirement.


Actually, the term is not "upgrade" when you're hogtied with duct tape and a strip is wound around your head so you can't talk, then you are taken to an area with least amount of passengers around you. I believe they say it's for your safety until a representative of the FBI can safely escort you off the plane from your prone position.


I'm impressed with President Schill's thoughtful response and I'm hopeful this will lead to some constructive conversations and actions. One thing I haven't seen mentioned is that someone was concerned enough to take a photo of this costume, but Professor Schurtz seemed blindsided by the criticism later. Did no one at the party think to talk to her about her problematic costume? Was it due to polite cowardice? Or was everyone at that party as ignorant of the history of blackface as the professor herself? Judging by some of the comments I'm seeing here, I'm guessing it's the second option.


And you lied when you attributed all those things to Pandora, you got the wrong person. I hope you are going to give her a grovelling apology.


That's a forecast. Not what HAS happened.


Do yourself a favor and get educated so you learn what "dilapidated" means. Better yet, why don't you tell all of us what's "dilapidated" about the stadium.


What the author fails to appreciate is that even 150 years ago, John A was held in low esteem by natives, metis, Catholics, francophones and liberals, among others.  It's easy to find this in the written record at the time. In the 1867 election his party only got 34% of the vote, and much of it was despite him, because of George-Étienne Cartier and others. What is novel now is that those opinions are no longer being dismissed. He was not a widely respected man in his own time, but his image was brushed up by the Orange Lodge, his allies, and Tories who had few successes, and later by a need to emulate the worship of founders in other countries.  He was an embarrassment to the country, then as now, and it is claiming otherwise that is revisionism.


I can't believe the waste of time it is to read this garbage.


Many men and women have died throughout the history of America to keep that flag flying.  I agree with Trump.  Get that disrespectful SOB off the field.


Excellent point! Every year there is a 1 % chance (1  in 100) of occurrence of this event. But, what about a more severe event like what has happened in Florida? In such a case, these flood walls would likely be overtopped. So, in reality, Waikiki is only protected up to a point. What happens with sea level rise? Sure, the walls along the Ala Wai would prevent its water from entering Waikiki, but what prevents water from the ocean side from entering Waikiki? Already storm drains back up during high tides, and we have seen this year king tides pushing wave water into hotel entrances on the beach side.  I don't think that this proposed project and a $300 million expenditure would really help things. Maybe Civil Beat could explore the somewhat larger picture of "protecting" Waikiki overall. Is it even possible? The State is working on some sort of plan or report due at the end of this year which may be our first look at sea level rise impacts.


Can you spell hypocrite boys and girls?


Too expensive? A case of 24 bottles will cost 0.6cents more.


I will do my best to find the articles I mentioned from the New Yorker to provide them for you.  One of them is about a particular prisoner who studied the law while incarcerated, and began - in prison - a service to file an appeal for a new trial based on evidence withheld by prosecutors, or discovered after the crime (such as DNA or the recanting of statements by witnesses) that wasn't allowed to be entered into the court deliberations.  That inmate had some real success in doing this work, and once he gained his own freedom using the same studious methods, he joined with an existing legal project doing the same type of work for individuals wrongly convicted.  There are so many procedural errors made, so many cases of prosecutors refusing to reconsider the case in view of new evidence, and so very many cases of poor evidence gathering by police, it makes one cringe at the failures of our legal system.


Real history. We want real history. (Well, I do, anyway.) It takes more work to write, but it's worth it.


She recognized that her tiny-handed husband is an UTTER DISASTER and EMBARRASSMENT to America.  She is effectively APOLOGIZING for him in this speech.

Is Bill Clinton running for office? I seem to have gone to sleep and woke up in the 90s?

Why are you attacking an ex-pres for things he did?

Also, the right wing was a twitter that Assange was going to lay into nasty ole' Hillary. Alex Jones even threw a party, he then got pissed it was a book selling deal.

It is the same old story, party of persona responsibility just looking for someone to blame.

Mr Tamura, I invite you to consult the books the professor lists at the end of his column. Your isolated examples do not refute his overall thesis. What we call the "settlement" of the American West depended on government assistance to a far greater degree than is acknowledged by present-day westerners (and Alaskans) who cling to a myth of individualism. This myopic view of history serves us poorly when we pretend we don't need the guv'ment in our lives because we never did before.


"Really? Amazon is going to import 50,000 people? That is a ridiculous comment"--We're already supposedly experiencing a labor shortage for all kinds of jobs here, not just the high-tech ones.  Where do you think Amazon's going to find 50,000 people to fill them?

"It sounds like you need to improve your skill set if you are concerned that an influx of high-tech jobs will relegate you to a career in a strip mall."--Yeah, we can all become coders (that will be replaced by H-1Bs and outsourcing at the next economic downturn)!

"Those Amazon jobs will pay for themselves"--All the growth we've had over the last 30 years seems to belie that claim.  Not to mention even MORE people in an area that has low housing inventory is going to increase housing costs even more.  You really want Denver to become like Silicon Valley, where people making $100K a year are living in garage spaces?  That doesn't sound like "opportunity" to me.


This missile launch was entirely predictable.  The US and SK are in the middle of their Ulchi Freedom Guardian drills.  NK warned about the drill.  They wanted them cancelled.  Well now you see their response.  Ho hum..


Tom, you seem to be saying that Census data today are unreliable because people self-identify.  Indeed, transgender men and women today are choosing to identify as the opposite gender from what their anatomy clearly displays, and teenagers with man-anatomy now call themselves girls and demand to take showers with the girls at school.  You seem to be saying that a lot of those 600,000 people who self-identify as ethnic Hawaiian are actually transracial people with no native blood.  How interesting!  Facts no longer matter.  We can make things up as we go along.


Whoever wrote this piece did a far better job than the writers of past articles about Carson because they stuck to the facts instead of giving us prejudiced opinion. Still I wonder, with the story reported so widely by multiple news outlets, what was the purpose of it being here?


Tax fairness isn't easy, but is govt using a drift net instead of a spear? First closing and enforcing the largest loopholes first, those most destructive of Canadians' trust in our system might engender less resentment for other necessary changes. Seeming to aim at those who are actually reporting any income and paying any significant taxes while others reportedly pay none is clearly going nowhere.

How do those without a govt pension save enough to provide a decent retirement income from 'safe' investments returning 2% maybe 5% (the average 2% in our case doesn't keep up with inflation).  At 2% you need HOW MUCH to generate what you need to live? Do the math please.

A clear, honest analysis of  how all classes of corporations and individuals  both resident and offshore, that operate in Canada, are treated regarding taxation might enlighten the discussion...

A start has been made, but is it just window dressing?    https://www.bcbusiness.ca/Numerology-The-dirt-on-money-laundering


It is knee jerk. No real strategy as seen with health care replacement of Obamacare. While there are problems with free trade, the government has messed up by taxing capital investment in the US from overseas profits and failing to invest in infrastructure projects.

Trump often is a loser. Trump wants to be seen as great. But he lacks focus and has hastily formed opinions that are not based on data analysis. Unfortunately he is a weak leader and a poor gambler. The reactionary politics in the conservative movement are going to cost us.


if he wants to be anti-pc, then he should stfu.  he should also have sex with ivanka already...i think they both want it


Fell free to donate your time and money and open your home up to the children whose parents refuse to feed. You will go to the front of the line on the stairway to heaven.


Enough of this garbage. I come from the UK where my ancestors were invaded by the Romans and the French. Are any of these Countries paying reparations? No. If we are upsetting the aboriginals we should stop all payments to them until we figure out and agree to what they want. Meanwhile they can live quite comfortably on what their chiefs and tribal councils have squirrelled away.


In an era where belief in the Real Presence is waning among Catholics, adoration helps bolster our belief that the Eucharist is truly Jesus Christ.  BTW, it is the young folks who are in love with adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.  Many vocations come from spending time before the Lord Jesus in the Holy Sacrament of the altar.
Why would anyone want to end or reduce it?  Most parishes are increasing times for adoration and many dioceses are placing the tabernacle behind the main altar.
What a gift the Eucharist is!  We should receive Him with deepest preparation and reverence and adore Him in the Blessed Sacrament.


And what's your point? Every president reads his speeches with our last one famous for reading. I can't imagine too many people even thinking about making an address to congress without doing so.


You are truly witless.


It's not my definition that makes Trump un-charismatic. The definition you cherry-picked doesn't suit him. And neither do many others that consistently mention attractiveness and charm as attributes of charisma, including the Oxford English Dictionary on line.

I strongly doubt that "thousands" of people from all points of the political spectrum describe Trump as a charismatic leader. I see a great deal of the contrary. The media is awash in stories that describe Trump in very unflattering terms. Some of them are well-deserved, too.

What makes a leader charismatic can be difficult to pin down. But as you to compare Trump and Hitler, how does Trump measure up to Hitler's oratory skills; his clarity and focus of vision; his iron conviction and perseverance; and of course, Hitler's ability to rise up from nothing overcoming great obstacles along the way?

You yourself have asserted that Trump will cave in and resign before his term is out. Is that the mark of a charismatic man?

Oahu residents, blame yourself for voting Caldwell into office.
State of Hawaii residents blame yourself for voting in representatives that cater to unions instead of all people. Why do we pay higher costs on everything? Johnson act.
Who decides if we follow Johnson act? The politicians we vote into office year after year. Why would lawyers like Agaran take a cut in pay to be a politician? Because he and the others are not getting a cut in pay , they are making it on deals on the side.
Hawaii is corrupt as the rest of the states.


Never really a fan, but for some reason his song "Father Figure" kind of stuck with me and like it the few times I did hear it.
2016 was a hell of a year for artists.


Apparently they do give a "rip" or else why would trump and his propaganda people be acting and responding so angerly? Thin skinned bunch of deranged children.


Totally on board with this, Mr. Sinnott. I've done a lot of reading on this subject and I've had to deal with 2 feral cats living under my home at one point. You're right on target.

Cats are my preferred critter and always will be. I loved mine more than anything. She was an indoor cat and I made sure she stayed indoors where it was MUCH safer. Had her spayed as soon as possible and she was a happy fur-person with a loving home. Contrast that to the ferals I found years later. One was absolutely vicious, the other fearful beyond reason. I live-trapped them and Animal Control would not come get them, they said they would simply euthanize them based on the description I gave. When I went to take them down myself, I found they had somehow escaped from the cage, possibly by pushing out a corner of the door.

TNR is NOT for Alaska. Those feral cats that can be rehabilitated should be given a chance at adoption. Those that are *wild animals* should be humanely killed.


You could have stopped at "Whitewater", because that was the scandal to end all scandals - quite literally. Nothing happened, we spent years and millions of dollars investigating the nothing, and then by a stroke of luck, the investigator stumbled on a consensual yet spectacular affair that he could use to justify his existence.

This harassment of the Clintons earned them a "get out of all scandals forever" card, in my opinion,

Everything else you list is just right-wing lies. "Looting the White House" - that one is especially rich.


Will Trudeau be there with hard hat, golden shovel and an extra cheque for the ceremonial ground breaking?


Trump's lies, distortions and deflections will come back to haunt him.  It's not necessarily the crime that gets attention so much as it is the cover ups. And there appears to be plenty of that.


Does the far right really believe right wing Liberals and their right wing liberal voters are the "left" or just pretending they're "left"?
   If all those hypocrites, fakes and self-deceivers are "left", I'm Che Guevara.
  Canada's government is like an airplane with two right wings. No wonder it doesn't take the majority of Canadians where they want to go.

Thank you for this nicely written personal testimony/apologia.  Many of us have been putting what begins as an intensely personal "feeling" under pressure and seeing the same results. That a large number of thoughtful, self-aware, well educated, and well-lived Adventists whose families have been part of the church for decades—over a century, for some of us —reach similar conclusions brings up nagging questions:  Who gets to tell us what an Adventist is, to begin with?  To what degree is this an issue of self-identification? What process, politically, or culturally, has been at work when leadership loses sight of outcomes and privileges the means to get there?  What do we mean by "inclusiveness," and what is at stake, really, when we allow boundaries to shift?  Also: What has happened, here, when a thoughtful, intelligent person is obliged to write anonymously, lest social and family support—never mind a paycheck— seem to be at risk?


Comparing Imago Dei to the KKK is hateful. You have no proof to show that anything ever said in that congregation constitutes hate towards those they disagree with. Not a single shred.


The reelection of Trump in 2020 will preempt any 2021 Democrat president from happening, and Reality Winner will remain in prison.

The military and cia had more to do with that than obama. Obama"just push it through we will figure it out later"care, Is a disaster and is falling apart.

Ada,
So very sorry. She was a beautiful girl and you can tell she had a beautiful spirit and soul.
Please reconsider and DO name those places. Part of the problem is that these places get away with not following the training and rules. Although you have no plans to sue, people need to know what places don't look out for those who are too intoxicated. Just imagine if one of those bartenders or sales clerks had put her in a cab instead of putting booze in her hand. Do it for that next girl who may run into the same. It's not about 'blaming' them, but making them responsible because they agree to do just that and overwhelmingly don't. I've seen many serve people inebriated with no care for their safety. Part of working in the liquor industry is taking responsibility for those who are vulnerable and cannot take responsibility for themselves when they are over served.
The laws are set to protect. It takes people to follow and enforce and realize it's a matter of life and death.


I had the impression they won a lot of games with Hannigan too, so I looked it up. In games Hannigan appears (29 starts and two PH appearances), the Rockies are 17-14, a winning % of .548. This is slightly above the overall team winning % of .538, but for all intents and purposes their record with him is no different than their record without.


Of course this is the first time in American history this has ever happened.

Looking at the defendant, if those injuries were caused by her before the stabbing, self-defense is not out of the question.

Most likely, of course, he got those injuries from her friend, but initial news reports are only what the police release to the media, not what goes in front of the Grand Jury or comes out as an Indictment.


Yeah, you would call the system crummy eh victim? The one you use to mark 50% of comments uncivil? Your game is pretty easy to see.


can't answer the question. Sad!


You speak of license, not mercy.

Mercy implies some kind of wrong doing occurred, and an acknowedgement of such. You seek some kind of permission slip to persist in sin.


Not so sure.....the Loonie is typically tied to commodity prices.....and many commodities have had a pretty strong bounce off of their bottoms (nat gas, CU, met coal, even crude oil).

And the US dollar has already had a huge run....to the point that the US dollar is now whacking corp profits (and GDP growth).    Everyone already "knows" that US rates are gonna go "up".  Inclined to think that is already baked into the US dollar....


This is getting downright ridiculous the first robbery at least gave us somewhat of a description; this time they're just clueless?

Sighs back to being regular old mountain view once again... And talk about bold to go from Monday to Wednesday?

This type of crime seems to be increasing in frequency for the entire year of 2016; and it's not even half over yet


Ridiculous mistake by Trudeau, he should have answered English questions in English and Frenc ones in French - just common decency for a fluently bilingual guy like himself.


No worries. It will get voted down.


Actually Toronto would not have gone past the 2nd cut or so.

It not only has a high cost of living, and housing, but transit is gridlocked, etc.

And the income tax regime would make high-level recruiting a tough sell.

Executives at American high-tech firms have housing expectation which are simply impossible within a reasonable commuting distance from the GTA.

Yes they will put up with that in California, but Southern Ontario, is not silicon valley. Especially in February.


One of the major factors in the price of gasoline is supply and demand of gasoline. Not supply and demand of crude oil, that is a different commodity.

Remember that crude oil has to be refined into gasoline and there is a limited amount of refineries capable of doing that.  I believe there has been only one new refinery constructed in Canada in the last 20 or 30 years, and the one constructed was to refine diesel.

Nobody wants to have a refinery near them, and for many years refining margins were non existent so it limits the desire or ability to create new refining capacity.

Ergo, there is very little relationship between the price of crude and the price of refined products.  Limited supply and increasing demand of any commodity will result in strong prices for that commodity.


Obamacare is failing and has been from the start. The MSM of course is trying to do their best to put a positive spin on the ACA, but you cannot deny the results. To date, I have not heard an answer from Democrats on the increase in premiums to millions of families. Their response has been, millions are now insured that previously were not. The issue of losing plans and doctors  also hasn't been addressed, except to say we need some "fixes".  You cannot "fix" the ACA because it is a complicated web of rules that intertwine the entire bill. To date I doubt very few in Congress have read the bill. Democrats voted for it without a clue on the real impact, and many lost their jobs because of the vote, to the point where Republicans are in the majority.  I wonder how many would now change their vote if they could turn back time. Also, the ACA "recruiters" was as much of a jobs program to specific Dem voting blocks as it was to recruit for "sign ups". The ACA isn't working, period.


Janine I could like this 1,000,000 times if possible. Thank you for pointing out, with powerful logic, the idiocy of bias.


Agree fire Walker


I don't know what you mean by "we." You are not putting anyone anywhere.


Ah Dieter, you betray your bias.


Just as Richardson stomped Kitz and Vins had no chance for mayor.    I wouldn't suggest a bookie job in the near future.

I do think Trunp can win.   Democrats are keeping the ammo dry, they won't after the primaries are over.    Trumps ignorance, (knowledge, not intelligence), will be obvious to all when compared Clinton's foriegn experience - the most important job of any President.    If the Democrats lose, it will be their own fault for looking backward at Bill and crowning Hillary.   When she struggles, she embraces Bill, that's not exactly a sign of strength.     I may think she's got a bad rap, but it is what it is, she is not seen independently from her Husban, she doesn't WANT be seen independently


Joe, this EIS was never designed for speedy  response which you have to assume will happen with requests for copies too. The PR. Gent said fall decision time frame.  Which fall Joe did he state?

Well the fact that you don't understand the artistic qualities inherent in wedding cakes tells me that you aren't in tune with not only pop culture but the appreciation couples take in wedding cakes. If you do in fact watch those shows, then state so. The fact that this baker was chosen by this couple shows that he makes cakes that other bakers cannot or do not make.  There are bakers everywhere.  Why do couples select certain ones over others?  He is claiming to be an artist which allows him to choose who he makes his artistic creations for.  And perhaps you are unaware that wedding cakes can cost up into the thousands of dollars.  What business person turns away revenue of at least a few hundred to possible a few thousands of dollars?  Not a whiney one, but rather one who does so based on something that is real to them.  You are choosing to attack this guy by being very illogical.  I don't know how the SCOTUS will rule, but don't be so sure it will be against him.


All notification options are accessible through your personal profile.


Sooner or later the MSM will have to acknowledge the Trump bump.


The rational solution is to STOP! Given a choice between a known and fixed cost of cancelling HART's blunder @ $3 Billion, or an unknown or unknowable cost of continuing the rail through what would be the most expensive section to Ala Moana Center should be simple. Would it be better to put one or two more generations of Oahu taxpayers in debt to pay off and end this debacle, or to put unknown number of future generations to pay, perhaps in perpetuity for this train to penury? The choice should be obvious.


All religions are diseases, but one religion is cancer.  This religion wants to subjugate not only the womenfolk, but also followers of other religions.  Being soft on this religion is suicidal for the world.  In fact, this belief system is political cult under the clothing of religion.

“U.K. says White House spying claims are ‘ridiculous’”
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given Trump’s admiration for Putin, and the negative remarks about the UK, Germany, Sweden, and others, the policy of his administration appears to be: “embrace your enemies and alienate your allies.”

If the US survives 4 more years of Trump’s insanity unscathed, it will a miracle.

I would never buy a mutual fund nor a specialty etf in a non registered account. If it does not fit your vision anymore and you would like to sell it you may have to pay a huge capital gain.


Just wait until they have to start delivering on all of those people who have massive deposits on cars.  Trabants had a better delivery success rate.  We will see about the performance side.  How it compares.


Stop with the "not a real fan" nonsense. People are allowed to have opinions that differ from yours. Not liking a player and wanting the team to win is totally fine. I couldn't stand Tebow, but enjoyed watching the Broncos defense, O-line, Prater, and McGahee tear it up every game.


Drip...drip...drip    Poor Donald.

Poor Les, still thinking Hillary is relevant today.  You need to get some help for this.   Its the Donald 100%.


This is fine exegesis of the "render unto Caesar" incident in Matthew. However, Mark and Luke also report the exchange. I think a composite of all three brings us closer to knowing exactly what transpired. In that light, you may consider minor alterations in your view.

"If Jesus said, "Pay," he implicitly acknowledged the legitimacy of the Roman occupation, pagan rule over God's people."

Many Church scholars since Eusebius say the question was designed to trap Jesus however he answered. This is wrong. His enemies knew Jesus would never endorse Caesar's tax, nor any tax collected by force or coercion. Luke's account is clear: the only answer his enemies expected was, "No, don't pay!" Then they could hand him over to Pilate for execution as a "tax denier." (IRS term) Indubitably, "repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar," means give him nothing that isn't his. And what belongs to God also leaves nothing for Caesar.  No wonder Rome's chief tax collector for Judea murdered him. (seeLK 23)


When you can't deal in facts, go for the ad hominem, eh Jeff?


Using the same narrative as Alberta (Carbon Levy - who do they think they are kidding it is a TAX).  I am raising money in Alberta to support Brad Wall's fight in court.  We owe it to someone that has his character we aren't seeing it anywhere else.  So brace for a battle with Saskatchewan & Friends Ms. McKenna !


great, maybe they can start paying livable wages now for their front line workers, so we don't have to subsidize our hard worked tax dollars to them to pay their executives these exorbitant salaries ( as they pretend they are "worth" it).


There are other students involved in this story.  Are the Springfield Police and the Register-Guard  looking into the actions and motives of the students who humiliated their classmate in front of all of us by turning him in two days before graduation for things that might or might not have happened three months ago?


They really hate that a black man took office, the deficit ONLY mattered when a black man was present ... now back to spending like drunken sailors on Forever Wars of Choice :)  But if we spend money domestically on USA tax paying citizens, BAD ALL BAD BAD BAD ... huh??!!


Over the years, during the winter,  we have had a few snow shovels and car scrapers go missing, because we left them down the side of the house where they were probably sighted by one of our neighbours going for a walk.

Sadly, I have no illusions as to what would happen in a real emergency when some neighbours decide they need something that you have.


Did you read the article where it talks about the lady from Quebec who converted from Catholicism to Islam and chose to wear a burqa? Did you read how her husband (whom she met and married after she was already wearing a burqa) tried to get her not to wear it for her own safety but she refused to cave to hatred?


I do give him credit on his salesmanship. Look how his supporters fell for it.


Somebody give this man a dollar befor he spends a million of tax payer dollar


There has to be a crime before their can be a cover up.  Racketeering is the first charge that comes to my mind for Trump.  The other felons will be charged with a variety of reporting crimes, including AG Sessions.


"also a published expert on sex toys and lubricants" "expect"? That's scary...LOL!


I am on disability.  I am 54 years old.  I worked 2=3 jobs when I could work.  I make 2 much for SNAP benefits, but I do use the food pantry a couple of tomes a month.  I eat better when I go to the Food Pantry.  I do buy some of my groceries at Walmart or Winco, and I look for sales on products and use coupons.  I do the best in what mpney I have.  I cannot hold a jpb anymore, but like O said I use to work 60 hours a week.


It's not just about the ads, but seeing the original telecast in tact all the time.  We pay for American networks, let us see them.  So many times there's other problems with simsubs such as poorer audio / video, scrolling issues with the picture, snipes placed overtop at the worst times possible, pixelation, and live events that overrun their allotted time being cut-off due to an automatically scheduled simsub to take place by the BDU at the top of the hour.

Enough is enough, it's time to abolish simsubs altogether.  If CTV and Global can't come up with their own content to compete, then get out of the TV business!


No new law or change of policy will fix this because the premise underlying the decision is that All things, human beings included, belong to the STATE.
The STATE was simply disposing of its defective property.


Yo Gomer, it's never enough. Pretty soon they'll be asking for the war bonnet back.


The boat ride is what all Alaskans are getting from these legislators, sans boat.
Many of these trips seemed designed to enhance the lawmakers future rather than legislative duties.
Past time to put a full stop to all of these uninformative, costly and unproductive trips.
I suspect the Senate's formal response could have been summed up in two words or one finger. It at least would be an honest response and more to the point.
Finally, any legislator who loses an election shouldn't be allowed to travel across town on the public dime.


Any news on the family of the medic he killed mercilessly in Afghanistan when he was 16??

Seems just as important to report on that too G&M.


Did you say the "misinterpretation" of Vatican II? Did you get that phrase from arch neo-con George Weigel? Its not the "interpretation" my friend, its the actual heterodoxy plainly stated in the Council's documents.


HUH...OK...I stand corrected.
My point is that It is not fair to "paint with a broad brush" Trump supporters as "The Alt-Right", any more than it would be correct to call The majority of Liberals as: "The Alt-Left" in reference to The violent protesters, or other extreme factions.


A family ethos made up entirely of greed and fame.


Don't be silly.  This has nothing to do with smarter gun laws.  Nothing.   Nada.  Nothing to see here.....


You've got a lot to learn.

Doubtful if you have the capacity though.

Must suck to be you.


And your point is? How many jeep/humvee  drivers have been killed and or maimed by IED's even though never getting close to actual combat? Real cushy job? NOT.


Interesting how these 'ethical' funds invariably let consumers of fossil fuels (i.e., you and me) off the hook, but demonize the producers, which just happen to be concentrated in one region of Canada (Alberta-Sask). So, according to their compartmentalized thinking, investing in airlines, railways, tourism, cruise operators, boat builders, auto makers and builders of palatial homes is deemed to be A-okay (allowing consumers to feel virtuous) but the co's that produce the fossil fuels that support these industries are considered 'unethical'. How convenient for those of us who are unaffected by this simplistic view of reality.


That's right, Ms. Duncan, treat research at Canadian universities as just another government job creation scheme and load it down with regulations. Who cares? You'll be on to the next job soon enough.


Actually, I read peer-reviewed scientific literature.  I leave the listening to fairies to those who would hug every pretty little thing that passes them by - are you enjoying the Eurasian Collared-Dove infestation of the past decade?  Aren't they so pretty?  Don't they just make you feel good?


Here's a whispered tidbit passed on to me by a law enforcement officer that should be of interest yo everyone: at the Island County County Juvenile Detention Center, they have a staff of 17 and a census (juvenile inmate population) of zero. And, this has become the norm.

Can anyone verify this one way or another?


Got it, makes eminent sense.  As for Ruben's naive belief in competition, he needs to do the research that you obviously have done and educate himself.
.
Thanks for the insightful comments.


Only one of us referred to Scott's with that phrase?


I'm willing to bet $50 per barrel oil is more to blame for Furie's plan changes than the reduction in free state money. In any case, if Furie can't operate without large amounts of corporate welfare, they ought to shut down altogether. And I'm still waiting for that one million barrels per day throughput total that the pro SB21 crowd promised.


Just the opposite Charlie. As far as taste...well you support Trump...who we all know, is a great example of good taste...and fine dining..
Everyone is laughing at you Charlie, ..it's best you try and promote a different aspect of Trump that doesn't fully conflict with your point.


The forecast for Saturday is weather, not climate.

And I didn't realize Anthony Bourdain was a scientist.  Oh wait, he's a TV personality.


No, they make the higher wages be causes their Unions have negotiated those wage increases.  Skilled workers can always find jobs outside of organized labor.  But, the Unions get them great wages, pensions, and workers rights and safety and sometimes even job security.  America is already great, we don't need Trump to tear us apart.


I agree that many of the posts (and people) around here are bigots. But why use the false name "King Kong"? Hiding behind an absurd name and picture implies that you are afraid of them? Or ashamed of standing up for your beliefs in public? I don't know.


Perhaps Matson can fix the port authority docks.. since the Municipality can't seem to hire anyone to design it, construct it, and manage the project. See: No more politicians on engineering projects.


Me too Mr. Hodges. Just got the warning and cannot for the life of me figure how I could have voted any other way on the civility of the comments. This commenting system needs a good tune up.


The data are provided in the NHS, and the majority of purposes build rental buildings are pre 1991.   Thanks the the threat of rent controls, changes in tax laws and putting up with problem tenants and the inability to evict them quickly, almost nobody is willing to invest in purpose build rental buildings.
All Politicians are Crooks is correct and you Capital Obvious don't know what you are taking about.


There were obviously some serious problems with the ice last night.
Players were falling all over the place and the puck was bouncing like a tennis ball.
But both teams had to play on the same ice ... and the Leafs did well to prevail. My guess would be that the Caps don't won't to see the Leafs in the playoffs this year.
Gardiner ..... brilliance and brain cramps.
Kinda reminds me of some previous Leaf defensemen over the past decades.


During the 19th Century, fifteen American presidents invoked the name of Jesus Christ in their inaugural addresses, endorsing and venerating his commandments.  Why did they do this?  I sincerely believe that they recognized the preeminent fact that the American republic was predicated upon Judeo-Christian principles and that it was, indeed, a Christian nation.  Not many U.S. senators and representatives have done the same in their legislative chambers.  During the 20th Century, one-hundred pervasive years, godless pragmatism, humanism, secularism, and statist philosophy have, by conspiracy, mutated the republic into the same type of heathen and pagan civilization which the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah became over hundreds of years.  Ten people in those cities of millions of human inhabitants could not be found who obeyed the natural holy laws of God and eschewed evil.  That was a very good reason for their total destruction by a just God.  Roy Moore represents to me a voice for God!


Hugh,

Well said. Thanks, as always, for your sharp insights. I feel compelled to point out, however, that Democrats have been almost as guilty of promoting cowboy capitalism as the Republicans. See "Listen Liberal" by Thomas Frank for a recent history of the Democrat side.

"Hailed as “the most prescient book” of the year, Listen, Liberal accurately described what ailed the Democratic Party even before the election of 2016 made their weaknesses obvious. It is the story of how the “Party of the People” detached itself from its historic constituency among average Americans and chose instead to line up with the winners of our new economic order....  Drawing on years of research and firsthand reporting, Frank points out that the Democrats have over the last decades increasingly abandoned their traditional goals: expanding opportunity, fighting for social justice, and ensuring that workers get a fair deal."

You first AKWolf1.


birds of a feather flock together and this especially holds true for deplorable people.. and she is right.. half of his supporters love the anger, hatred, bigotry and ignorance trump represents.... the other half think this is his tv show he is doing..  imagine this presidency if you can..


You and I agree on very little.  Don't fool yourself.  My views do not contradict Catholic teaching and yours do.


"Bible is clear that death came because of one man's sin: Adam."

Well actually no. You have interpreted the biblical text as stating the death of all living things was set in motion as a result of Adam's sin. The text can also be interpreted as referring to only the death of humankind. As such it says nothing about about the death of other living thing.

"Evolution claims that birds evolved from dinosaurs"

Why are you bringing up the topic of evolution?
Ervin is talking about the how conventional scientific evidence shows that dinosaurs existed before humankind. He makes no assertions about the mechanisms as to how that sequence came about.

"And the methods for dating fossils are unreliable."

And again .. well actually no. There has been cases when the carbon dating technique has produced strange results and YEC adherents often point these out, but there are many, many other forms of radiometric dating and they are generally very reliable.


Just ten more of these then everyone can come back to the actual reality of the real world.


What is the evidence that the reported method of teaching math is the best way to nurture a citizenry that uses creativity and lateral thinking to produce useful new ideas and solutions?

If you want a fast trip to rote-like math accuracy you can turn on the calculator application in your electronic device...


people schmeople  who cares about them

a weak and divided Syria  is  less of a threat to Israel than a strong one

just as a decade ago a weak and divided Iraq was less of a threat to Israel

so it is written so it shall be done


I'm incredibly skeptical that anyone would seriously expect both the BCHAF and a doubling of the foreign-buyers tax province wide to be introduced. The BCHAF model advocated by Davidoff has always been an alternative to the foreign buyers tax. The Green Party platform advocates the foreign-buyers tax. The NDP advocate the BCHAF model.

Personally, I find this article slightly irresponsible because poorly communicated policy forecasting will only contribute to contagion in the market.


A man once put his hand on my leg without my permission. I smacked him on the back of the neck. Now THAT'S self-respect! If every woman did this, I wonder how many men would think very hard before touching a woman without their permission. And don't tell me he was just being friendly. I'm pretty doggone sure if I were a man he would have never touched my leg.


Sign sloter and put lynch on the practice squad. Kyle started off slow but then he turned it on and had a great game. If VJ doesnt keep him hes nuts the kids hot game!


keepsimple:  are you proud that the USA imprisons vastly more than countries with more than 4x the population?  India also has 1.3 billion and also has a much lower prison population than we do.   Look it up.

I'm not the one running for office in a little over a month; but I would expect someone running for office to be able to answer that sort of question.  Why don't you ask it of the councilman who proposed this particular resolution?

He's got to have a better solution than the health experts if he's ignoring their advice and experience.  Doesn't he?

You'd hope so, but I don' think he does.  Thanks for making my point about prison populations for me, though.


No fly = Shoo Fly!  Looking porous!  OZ... no surprise here!  Joseph... still looks confused! So many penalties.  What an embarrassment!


They actually do but that is also suspect.


Agreed non stop hate and stupidity from the democrats. I mean who protests for a month straight. Get over it and man up snowflakes. If I took both sides rallies and had to invite one over for dinner it would have been republicans at every one. Democrats would complain, expect free stuff, and trash the place all while saying I'm the bad guy.  It's not fooling people anymore.


The huuuuge difference is that I have never posted the kind of support for bill clinton that you do for trump.  So, my question again, do you consider someone who has done the things trump has done a "good guy"?  It's sad if you don't think character matters.  But then, I guess that explains your willingness to completely overlook trump's indecencies.


Indefensible.  "He's not your typical politician" does not apply.  He's an uncaring opportunist.  Anyone have actual evidence to refute that?


Alaska's OCS management is stagnant and has been for years.  OCS tends to have a high turnover in middle management.  OCS needs to recruit upper management team members that have expertise on how to provide family reunification programs that work.  Back in 2008, Congress passed the Fostering Connection to Adoptions Act.  States, including Alaska receive a minimum of $1.3 million annual for every 300 adoptions that they arrange.  Informed people know that Alaska Native children make up 62% of Alaska's foster care system.  It's likely higher now.  The vast majority of children adopted between new born and 4-years-old are adopted within or less than a year after they're removed from their home.  Parents with addiction problems are at the highest risk of losing their children because FCAA allows states to put children up for adoption after they've been in the system for 2 years.  Tribal members adopt less than 1% of their own children.  It's staggering.


Hillary hasn't taken a question in a press conference in 6 months.  Like trump or not, he has the guts to face the press.  Hillary needs to put on her big girl pants and take some questions


Sex engaged in for non-reproductive purposes.  Neither redundant nor oxymoron.


Wow...not long ago, you asked people to post civil comments. Nice example.


CHD is never "fixed", it is only repaired. Most patients with complex conditions will require re-operation at some point and/or implantable devices such as pacemakers or defibrillator. Just make sure they see an expert in CHD and not a regular community cardiologist. You can find a list at cchaforlife.org.


Ontario is not a have not province.


You do not believe some babies being born who otherwise might not have been is positive?


Hire:  To continue, Libby is a free-lance writer, and the author of the blog "One Hot Mess".  It would be reasonable to infer that she may sometimes write material designed to stir up controversy.  A self-promotion tactic.  So, the question we must ask ... is she really the seemingly oppressed waif as portrayed in her article?  Or is she stirring her readership kettle?  She is also a lawyer, a vocation widely regarded as below used car salesmen for veracity.  Personally, I neither believe nor doubt her self-portrayal in her article.  I simply have responded on the face value of it.  It gave me opportunity to express some of my views on what true friendship is, or is not.  Just like you, I have elbows and opinions.  I also find the diverse, often divergent opinions of others to be very educational and informative.  I think that ADN's comment section helps fill out issues, in a way that the staff don't have the time or resources to do.  Keep making me think ... It's good mental exercise.


There are many Catholic candidates, Dems & Reps, who claim to be good Catholics, but then vote contrary to what the Church believes & teaches. They do so openly & conspicuously. Take Giuliani, living with Judy without benefit of an annulment being refused Communion by Cdl. Egan.

Candidates from all stripes use their faith to garner support from the Faithful. They already know, OR SHOULD KNOW, the rules before presenting themselves for Communion. And yet, they present themselves anyway. It is up to the candidate to refrain, rather than a member of the Clergy to stop them. They are playing this game more the than priests & bishops.


The criteria for doctors to force someone to be confined to a psychiatric hospital against his or her will is determined by state law.  In almost all states that means the individual is deemed to be an imminent threat to self or others on the basis of a mental illness.  Imminent is held to mean, and is reflected in the standard of care,  that the mentally ill person has very recently made such an attempt or communicated their plan to soon carry out that intent.  Yes, this very sick individual committed  a heinous act consequent to a mental illness, but there is no report that he communicated his intent to anyone and the hospitalization in question occurred weeks earlier I do believe.  The treating doctor and hospital are required, by law, to release that person once the imminent threat is deemed to no longer exist.  The key word is "imminent.".  The law determines the criteria, not the doctor.


PETA probably wants the guy charged with animal cruelty.


As far as we know, he didnt ask for bacon in Israel or Saudi Arabia. With Trump, the only successes are little things.


So glad to hear that you son is reacting positively to CBD.  When I was growing up in the 70s, we heard over and over how the pot of those days was Soooooo much stronger and had more THC than pot of yesteryear.  And it keeps getting stronger.  Having smoked religiously since I was 15 (I'm 55), I'm having trouble with the constant assertion about the dangerous potency of today's pot, and the supposed danger to the developing adolescent.  Perhaps I'd speak 7 languages and be a grand master in chess if I hadn't destroyed my developing brain; I guess graduating at the top of both my high school and college (cum laud), and securing scholarships to attain my Masters degree was beneath my potential, given how I'd destroyed my future with constant and relentless pot use.  Just sayin'


Accountable for what, since you're generalizing?


So if the dog got hurt chasing a fox would he blame the State of Alaska?


Oh if only we had confidence this was actually productive rather than a vote buying activity.
Oh well, this is Trudeau through and through.


Christopher McElree; Really, are you against all Americans that are not born in Alaska, they paid Russia for the land and gave it to you free! ?

They have words that describe people like you!

I don't like all Obama's policies but I respect the office of the Presidency!


Not on the ones I bought at Costco as recently as 4 years ago.  They still have a warm-up period.  Not as bad as the earlier ones but it's still quite noticeable.

And no, you misunderstood my "standard size" reference.  I meant E26 sockets.  There's lots of different shapes and sizes of incandescent bulbs.  The CFLs were primarily just an alternative for the E26 standard bulbs though, not a replacement for all sizes of incandescents.

And "still common now" doesn't mean they JUST NOW became common.  Good grief.  They've been common for like 2 decades.  And BTW, it's wasn't a Bush "mandate".  Mandates force you to use something.  What Bush did was force the phase-out of 100w incandescents. What people chose to buy instead was not mandated.

You also completely ignore the shelf life of light bulbs. Most people buy more than they immediately need, and have a supply. Since most bulbs last years, it can take many more years to finish up your supply. So of course it's a long transition.


Burt look up the definition of Fascism before posting.


So what may happen if the government takes action to curtail the use of fossil fuels and promote "green" energy sources? Has anyone researched the effect tens of thousands of wind turbine farms will have on the relative motion between the Earth and its atmosphere? Has anyone researched the effect that thousands of square miles of solar panels will have when they capture the sun's energy and prevent it from reaching the surface of the planet? Has anyone researched how colonies of anchored buoys will affect the overall wave motion of the oceans? Has anyone researched the effect of mass tapping of geothermal energy?
Take any one or any combination of these "green" energy sources to a point where they are providing all of civilization's energy needs and what will be the effect? Has anyone thought about this?
I think the answer to our planetary woes is fewer people. We're growing like cancer on the Earth's surface. If we don't control our population, Mother Nature will and she's ruthless.


Correct!!


DO you know that this is what this woman did? She had dependents.


I think the Pick. Click. Give. program is brilliant.  The only problem with it is:  they skim off 7% for administration.  Yes, that's right; so for $17 million the managing of the program costs $1.19 million.

So I just send my donations by check to my selected non-profit charities, and they get 100% of my donations.


i cant stop laughing....this was a non issue that the dems tried to dismiss as nothing until TRump won...trump won trump won.....and it is still a non issue


They will get voted in again...
20% of population works for government
Natives vote Liberal when they vote
Unions all vote Liberal federally
Welfare bums vote Liberal
Feminists vote Liberal
Gays vote Liberal
Immigrants vote Liberal
Soros funds the Liberals
Don't worry you have 8 more years of hell yet to go.


The only person the idiot trump cares about is himself.  When will his supporters wake up about his phony patriotism?  He tried to stiff a military charity when he promised to donate $1M last year.  But his supporters cling to his lies.


How much is 'BIKI' paying for all the spaces it is taking up all over?


If Dad didn't prevent the injuries over what was apparently a lengthy period of time, why would you want Dad to have the kid?


I like when Jesus taught us to build a giant government.


Would you invite someone to your house if all they did was degrade and criticize you?  It's obvious Curry doesn't like Trump, so why force them to meet?


It might be lost on some readers, pregnant pause,

Following is an excerpt from a Dispatch column published January 8, 2015 by Mr. Cole.

Lawmakers may have thought they could avoid discussion of oil taxes this year, but the subject will come up every time a public hearing takes place on a plan to cut state spending for this or that. It will be long the lines of "Why are you cutting (fill in the blank) when you are paying out more in oil tax credits than you are collecting in oil production taxes?"

There is no need to replay the SB 21 vs. ACES debate, but with the state running multi-billion-dollar deficits, the governor and lawmakers will need convincing answers to that question and a plan to do something about it.

I have thought long and hard and deeply and with a god conscience I can say I have come to the conclusion that the divisions in Christianity are arbitrary.  For the sake of charity and good will one will want to obey the authorities when in a house of worship and in public if one is a Christian he or she will want to let his light shine, as it were.
     But after an examination of the recent scandals plaguing the Church and the strife within it over discipline and dogma I am certain that to be authentic one must ask the clergy to take responsibility for their actions (!) in the area of faith and worship. If the faith is defined in such a way as to have an unbending and uncompromising tradition, so interpreted, it is fair to ask those in authority to affirmn were they asked to, that they believe what they do is the best way they can answer to call of the Gospel, given what they know and what they have learned and what they believe is an expression of faith in that best expresses


And what is that supposed to mean? HRC somehow manipulated all these federal agencies to approve a deal that gave the Russians what, exactly?


Acid rain became less of a problem after Maggie Thatcher (industrial Chemist degree) was convinced of the chemistry behind the observations. That left RayGun isolated forcing him to adopt the same stack emission controls as every other country or face economic sanctions. We could have the same success with GHG emissions, but every year that goes by without action makes the problem worse.


The slime line story is true. Anybody from Prince William Sound back then knows it is. The author of the article, which indicates college kids coming up was unique to the 1960s is not in the know. Furthermore, that Valdez cannery in question was a real shaky financial operation, using disaster loans from the earthquake to get going. The next winter, after Clinton was there it burnt down, I know I was in Valdez the next day. How come the fire is unknown, maybe arson many suggested, but the watchman died in that fire. Back in 1994 there was a movement in Valdez by people who had met her back then to get her to come up again.  Truth is, she should have got on the ferry and got a job in a real salmon cannery in Cordova at the time. It was in later years the cannery business in Valdez finally got to be a financial success story.


why cant a get a meal to go......dont you see that every budy hates me......?????
