Adults draw line in the sand in Lake Forest | Chicago Tribune “It didn’t use to be respectable to speak out in public in ways that were anti-child or anti-family, but now that sort of talk is very acceptable,” Beck said. Right, right. And in the same article, the backlash is already building. And even in the relatively positive statement above, wanting a kid-free zone is equated with being anti-child. It’s really more about wanting a quiet zone free of disturbance, but that’s not how it will be framed in the discussions to come. And all too soon, the “child-free”…

I’ve wondered about this before, but OneUtah.org’s post pointed out some recent studies that were collected about the huge disparity in health care, income, education, and plain old quality of life between “Blue” states and “Red” states, and offers an interesting analysis. First, some examples, none of which are going to be all that surprising, really. PERRspectives Blog: Health Care the Latest Red State Failure The same dismal pattern applies to a wide array of measures of social dysfunction and pathology. 8 of the top 10 states with the highest murder rates are squarely in Red America. 7 of the…

I am so SMRT! OpenNTF.org – Print attachments with OLE Automation I can’t believe it, I got a Lotusscript working that prints file attachments from selected emails! It almost worked “out of the box” from this website, but the comments included additional clues, and I ended up registering so that I could ask a couple of specific questions. In the meantime, I learned a tiny bit about how to load a Lotuscript – and even how to remove whitespace so that it’s properly formed (not difficult, as Lotus has highlighting all set up so you know when you’ve gone wrong).…

Salt Lake Tribune – Full quivers don’t pay The opinion by David M. Pearson (Forum, June 9, “Subsidizing children”) is the most illogical and self-serving analysis I’ve seen in a long time. He wrote that he is helping to subsidize people with few or no children. Since he has nine arrows in his quiver, he gets enormous tax deductions for his progeny. This means he pays little, if any, taxes compared to a single person, or those with few or no children. How he can figure that he is “subsidizing” anyone is a real fantasy. As a consumer of governmental…

YouTube – Writing for SystemiNetwork.com What “working from home” REALLY means when you’re an RPG programmer, it’s after 10, and you’ve drunk a little too much coffee. [kml_flashembed movie="http://youtube.com/v/czWvC2xRnRo" width="400" height="326" wmode="transparent" /] My husband David knows this guy, who’s on many of the mailing lists David hosts on midrange.com. In fact, they were almost roomies at the most recent COMMON meeting. David almost came home a headbanger – that would have been interesting!

What do voters need to know? | Chicago Tribune Cook County Board President Todd Stroger, who zealously guarded details of his father’s crippling stroke last year, kept his own cancer diagnosis secret as he campaigned to succeed him, his administration acknowledged Tuesday.Todd Stroger, who learned about 10 months ago that he had an early stage of prostate cancer, had his prostate gland removed Monday at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, county spokeswoman Ibis Antongiorgi said. “The doctor expects a full and speedy recovery,” she said. More B.S. from the Stroger political clan, and of course as I thought, he didn’t have the…
