Farmer's Almanac

Bearcat04 — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 19:46:14 GMT

Here's a questions I've had for sometime and I would like to get some of the experts' feeling on this as well too if possible. Does anyone put any stock into the "The Old Farmer's Almanac" meaning is this just for fun or is this actually a true guess of the weather? My reason for asking is pretty simple, it appears the that almanac is pretty close at guessing the weather, usually within a week or two of the actual guess. How does everyone feel about this?

Foggy Froggy!

gymnast0405 — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 10:44:55 GMT

Hi all. It is very, very foggy up here in Warren County. I was surprised that they did not issue more than one fog advisory/warning, over this past week.

Please post how it is in your County/City/Town. I'd love to know! ♥HS♥

this evening's weather

bdubya — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 21:42:41 GMT

I am in College Hill for the National Nite Out and we are wondering what we're looking at for the next couple of hours. It looks like things are clearing a bit, but it is not clear from the radar what we should expect. It will determine whether we have musicians outside or in.

I tried to take a pic of it as it passed right over my house tonight but it got nothing. It was pretty cool, looked like Venus simply scooting across the sky. It took about 30 seconds for it to travel from one end of the horizon to the other.

Hero

jpmreilly — Fri, 08 May 2009 03:27:48 GMT

Since we're going to remember our hero's please remember my buddy Phil Sundby. Phil and I spent hours in training and went different ways. He was on a Navy Plane in international water when those dastardly North Korean's shot it down. All were killed. Those ba...ards also took the USS Publeo off the high seas too. One guy died in that incident. Not being in a war zone is no solice for them ... Remember Phil.

Luck of the Irish or a Blessing from God?

Davisck — Fri, 01 May 2009 15:59:44 GMT

My husband and I are both from a variety of cultures. Myself: Irish, English, Dutch, Germany, and Cherokee. Well, I guess everyone can have a little luck of the Irish. Whenever things get tough for us, something always comes through. Call it luck or simply a blessing from God. This morning while outside with my daughter preparing the yard for some landscaping, we came across a batch of clover. In it we found 4 four-leaf clovers (Two are on the same stem and root as are the other 2 four-leaf clovers) and 2 five-leaf clovers. Afterward, I researched clovers to ensure they are the real thing, and it was an exact match. There are several different types of clover, but these are the exact match to the original clover that grows throughout the rest of my yard. If these are truly the real things, I feel it may be a message from God telling me he is proud of the changes I have made in my life and to never stop. Who knows for sure, but I do know one thing. These clovers are being saved for all 3 of my children in hopes they will find luck and blessings throughout their life, and that God will bless them.

williamsterri — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 01:07:28 GMT

Did anyone else see what appeared to be a shooting star - only it was red with a trailing tail coming from the Northwest and going southeast (I believe) at approximately 8:57 P.M. tonight April 25, 2009. Cincinnati area.

Correction: traveled Northeast to southwest.

Tea Party Recall

DAuff — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 19:20:50 GMT

Being a member of the Boomer generation who protested just about everything in the late 60's and early 70's, I have been watching the Tea Parties with interest. I wonder how long it will be before all of the taxpayers in the country revolt and refuse to work and pay taxes. After all, most of our taxes are going to pay for a group of people who contribute nothing to this country but crime, murder and fostering generations of "you owe me" children. On the opposite end, we have presidents, officials and senators who break the law whenever they feel, spend their salaries on things that the average taxpayer will never have. Now, we have a President who went to Harvard, spends is time choosing which private school his daughters should attend, and choosing the proper pet. Meanwhile, people who have worked all their lives and paid taxes are losing their homes, their retirement income and their faith in this country. What has happened to the values that used to keep this country strong? Girls pose naked for their teenage boyfriends, teen sex is rampant in all levels of society, women have one baby after another without the benefit of marriage, knowing that neither they nor the father will be able to give that child a proper home, meals, education or moral values. This is such a repeat of what happened to the great civilizations of Rome and France. Maybe people have forgotten how Marie Antoinette responded when she was told that there was no bread to feed the people. She said, "let them eat cake." I hate to see what used to a great country fall into disrepair. But I hope that someone takes the reins and tells the taxpayers to stop paying taxes until we get heard!!! Hey, government, you can't fly fancy airplanes or go to great resorts or live in million dollar mansions or send your kids to fancy private schools if we don't foot the bill. So, maybe you better start listening to the people who are paying your salary and stop giving money to the people who have no intention of ever contributing anything!!!

Sexting

LuckyChuck13 — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 22:44:25 GMT

While some people don't seem to be bothered by this newst fad of sexting by the kids, I find it a bit disturbing that they are putting themselves in a dangerious position for on-line predators. While I do disagree with trying to label them a sex offender and make them have to register, I do feel that there should be some kind of severe enough punishment to discourage them from sexting all together. What do you all think?

Unemployment EXTENSIONS more help

Why aren't our elected Ohio officials helping us get this extra help? Write them to ask them..this is a desperate plea for unemployed Ohioians...

Over ½ Million Workers to Exhaust Benefits in March & April if
States Don’t Act
13-20 Weeks Federally-Funded Extension of Benefits Available in Stimulus
for High-Unemployment States
Washington, DC – New analysis released today by the National Employment Law Project
revealed that 567,000 jobless Americans will exhaust their federal unemployment benefits in the
coming weeks if their states do not authorize a temporary extension of benefits provided for in the
federal economic recovery package. Available to all states with unemployed rates above 6.5%,
the Extended Benefits program would provide an additional 13-20 weeks of benefits to workers
who have already used up their Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) benefits. Of the
states whose unemployment rates are high enough to trigger the extensions – which are now
being funded 100% by the federal government under the stimulus bill – only about half have
passed the necessary authorization to receive the funds.
“Over half a million jobless workers will run out of unemployment benefits in March and April if
their states do not act now,” said Christine Owens, Executive Director of the National
Employment Law Project. “The Extended Benefits program is a straightforward, federallyfunded
extension to continue benefits for workers in high-unemployment states who have already
run out of emergency unemployment compensation. These benefits would come to very longterm
unemployed workers who still can’t find work after receiving all of their EUC benefits. This is
the only provision in the stimulus bill that addresses the needs of these long-term jobless
workers, and states should not overlook it,” Owens stated.
The Extended Benefits program, started in the 1970s, pays extended benefits in high
unemployment states and allows states different options for tapping into the program. One option
is for states to provide these benefits once their unemployment level exceeds 6.5% over a threemonth
period. While the cost for paying these extended benefits would normally be split 50-50
between states and the federal government, under the American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act, the extended benefit is fully federal-funded through 2009. Only a fraction of states, however,
have adopted the 6.5% trigger provision.
• States that have yet to act to receive Extended Benefits: Approximately 567,000
workers would qualify for Extended Benefits after exhausting their EUC benefits if 14
high-unemployment states, as well as the Virgin Islands and the District of Columbia,
adopted the 6.5% unemployment rate trigger. As of March 19th, those states are:
Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts,
Mississippi, Missouri, New York, Ohio, and Tennessee.
• States that have yet to act to get 20 weeks Extended Benefits: In places where the
unemployment rate exceeds 8% – Indiana, Michigan, Nevada, Puerto Rico, and South
Carolina – workers will be entitled to an additional 7 weeks of extended benefits if their
states authorize the trigger, affecting approximately 132,000 workers.
• States that already qualify for 13 weeks Extended Benefits: Sixteen states and
Puerto Rico already qualify for the Extended Benefits program under one of the
program’s provisions: Idaho, Indiana, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Wisconsin, Alaska, Connecticut, Minnesota, North
Carolina, and Washington qualify for 13 weeks of benefits. Oregon and Rhode Island
already qualify for 20 weeks of extended benefits. As a result, about 405,000 workers in
those states will qualify for extended benefits when their EUC benefits expire between
now and June.
• Who benefits: A total of nearly 1 million workers – over 970,000 – who will run out of
federal emergency extensions (EUC) by June will qualify for an extension of jobless
benefits under the extended benefits program if all states enact it.
• The urgency to act: In all high-unemployment states, the federally-funded extended
benefits will be available to all private sector workers – 95% of the unemployment
insurance case load – who exhaust EUC and begin their extended benefits in 2009.
States have the option to sunset the legislation in late 2009, after which the 100% federal
funding provision expires.
“Many states have overlooked this unique chance to help long term jobless workers and funnel
more federal stimulus into their economies. They need to act now because time is of the essence:
thousands of workers will run out of jobless benefits in a matter of weeks. It would be a shame –
and devastating for thousands of workers – if states sit on their hands,” Owens concluded.
For more information on the Extended Benefits program, including a state-by-state breakdown of
the potential impact the program would have around the country, view NELP’s Extended Benefits
analysis: http://www.nelp.org/page/-/UI/extended.benefits.feb.09.pdf?nocdn=1
Workers can find out whether their state qualifies for EB under the different “trigger” formulas at

“Extended Benefits Trigger Notice.”
