When I used to enter your FREE STUFF contests I would get a confirmation e-mail that my entry had been submitted. I used to win passes, etc. fairly regularly. Now when I try to enterm a contest, I don't receive a confirmation e-mail, I can reenter to win over and over and it just takes me back to the "sign me up to win" page again and again. I haven't won anything for months and want to know if there is something wrong with your website's contest page or what. This was a major source of trying out new things for me and hate to not have these contests to motivate me to get out more.
Thanks for your assistance.

This is an update to my own article about dress codes. I have notice over the last several weeks that many of the bars around the Kansas City area have changed their dress codes to accommodate those people that the dress code was meant to keep out. Now let me tell you I am for dress codes if your pants are hanging off your butt; you don�t need to be on the streets like that. I applaud the change in these dress codes but I am saddened that it took the Power & Light Dist swallowing up business from the smaller bars to get them to change. Back to the white-T's; if I came down there in t-shirt that had kill me I a Muslim on it or a pic of the biggest drug dealer in history or a pic of the president with a gun to his head and Ben Laden holing it; why is it ok to have that when that would offend more people than a plain white-T. Why is it that I have to defend the rights of people not just black but every race just so I can sit down and have a beer? I hope P&L thrives but I also hope that all the surrounding bars north, south, east and west get their business back as well and not worry about long shorts and white shirts with nothing on them.

Re: Review of Vino Wine Bistro - "Happily, Trezo Vino is the perfect restaraunt for pretentious foodie types as well as this less constipated counterpart. There's foie fras as well as a K.C. Strip..."
Foie fras is a swollen, diseased liver taken from a tortured goose or duck that has lived its entire life with a metal tube shoved down it throat to allow force feeding. Did the detailed menu item descriptions you mentioned include any of this?

Do you give positive attention while one is being good? According to Doctor Fitzhough Dodson some learned the only way to receive attention was through inappropriate behavior. As long as one was good one may have been ignored. Some who ignored others when they were good may have felt compelled to give instant focused attention for inappropriate behavior. Misbehavior was therefore attention. The behavior received attention from some in the environment and allied forces producing further teasing for social recognition. While wasting productive time other needs failed to be met causing the need to feed off productive forces. Changing who one became depends upon the process. In the past some thought dictated undesirable actions would stop unwanted actions. Authoritarians did not know punishment, which is a behavior recognizer, fools by temporarily suppressing behavior while at the same time giving social and self recognition causing the behavior to repeat. Recognizing the difference between the behavior and the individual do give the individual attention. Doctor Dodson suggests easily gently distracting offering attention in a new direction redirecting the individual to fun learning activities that let the individual know they are valuable and people care their time is spent valuably, that meet needs, and that lead to productive behavior while applying Extinction Technique by giving zero attention to behaviors one does not wish to be repeated. Recognized productive behavior becomes repeated productive behavior. Generative productive personalities develop. Children's productive behavior is the right to have their educational needs met and be actively engaged in the educational process. Scientific studies by recorded observation of behavior under precise behavior recognition conditions produced the results: Recognized behavior repeats, or to quote the results, "Recognized behavior is repeated behavior." The rule of science is, "All science is repeatable." Repeatable results may always be obtained. Grown ups do much of their own human development while children do their own human development sometimes. These scientific facts may not have been available to others and you before so forgive others and yourself for the unchangeable past punishment cannot change and focus upon life's qualities being specific and investigative. Make a future.
Quoting a homes and gardens magazine, "The best way to quit a bad habit is to substitute it with a good habit." The book One Hundred Languages of Children by Carolyn Edwards is the story of Italy's child development Reggio Emilia Schools. Learning projects at Reggio Emilia are self-discovery projects. The children are free to think through how to construct and measure in their own way. During play the children test their theories. Chapter nine is the true story of a small group of children who draw a life scale dinosaur. The children found a place in the schoolyard large enough to draw a dinosaur. The school provided for the children's access many measuring sticks, 'Rods', for placing side-by-side showing the precise height and length of the dinosaur. The school spared no rods. The children learned measuring skills used in building societies. The King's foot measurement divided into one dozen makes twelve inches. Cubit rods measure cubits. During projects the teachers engage the children in conversation. Children are inspired to inquisitiveness as a result of the teacher's questions. Projects are displayed at community gatherings giving each child a sense of community. Community observers give recognition of correct principles applied to create each project. Rods used in child education to show quantities are Cuisenaire Rods. Each uniform section on the rod is displayed by color. Each consecutive rod is one unit longer. Rods make useful levers. Rods reach under and pull out items a person cannot reach. A walking stick is a sturdy rod. Children attain higher principles. Quoting Doctor Fitzhough Dodson, "What is the ultimate goal we are working toward in the training of our children? If we reflect deeply on this question, most of us would say that our ultimate goal is to produce an adult who has learned self-regulation, who has learned to exercise his freedom in a responsible way." "A baby's wants are a baby's needs." "Mother is a baby's first social life." "The learner must be in condition to learn." Mother and Father set an example as learning discovery information gatherers. Family members share learning experiences. Doctor Dodson says "A two year old may not be able to obey the same as a six year old." If one is taught the only reason one does or does not do something is because someone says they might not know the other reasons and when the someone who says to or not to is not able to control there is no other reason, says Doctor Dodson. Obedience has been misused by dictators. Obedience causes some to fear the rise to power of dictators. A dictator must take advantage of obedience in order to dictate. Kind cooperation is a virtue. Please investigate drumming up business for wrong human development profits and for repair profits that objects to good human development communications. Math places out of business all that profit by lack of mathematical accuracy. Mathematically accurate happy childhood, thinking, and meeting needs equals mathematically accurate mental health. Education profits replace lack of education profits. Freedom is mathematically accurate. Stewards taking person responsibility children are busy being good are free of placing responsibility upon children with consequences and rewards, wrong can be rewarding and support appearances of being good, while children are free to develop good character independently. Grown ups doing much of their own human development, no one need harm wrong human development just teach good human development. Be Free.

I agree with Bill of NYC. The kids have it right, and are open to those around them, regardless if the person, is gay, lesbian or even another race. Our kids are living in the 21st century and will overcome, compared to most adults who are racist against color and who a person really is with-in. The SM-East student obviously is the perfect friend to have. We (my family)have a gay friend, and have been friends for the past 15 years, since ever meeting him. He has been a big influence about what true friends are, and i feel being a woman he has helped through things, that none of my friends at work could ever help me through. He is very open and helpful with the rest of my family, helping and understanding more than anyone else ever could.

Dear Editor:
Since customers were cutting back on the use of electricity by getting energy saving light bulbs, etc., the electric companies were losing money. Consequently, they invented multipliers, which are a mathematical concept used to take advantage of the customer. These multipliers are used at the option of electric companies, so when customers aren't using enough to produce the desired profit margin, they simply raise the multipliers, and get their money. The multipliers are so high now even people who use almost no electricity are saddled with a huge bill. Even worse, the pubic utilities' commissions have been no help whatsoever.
We might point out in Fascist nations utilities are provided at cost or given freely, as they're PUBLIC.The United Fascist Union proposes electric companies'monopolies be broken, and public companies be created that would charge the public for the electric they actually use; instead of letting some fat-belly private profiteers' live the high life at the public's expense.The U. F. U.would revamp the system and make sure the Public Service Commissions of various Provinces work in public interest instead of working crooked deals with Executives of monopolies allowing them to exploit consumers.
Vote Fascist 2008!

The smoking ban states as follows..."Ordinance No. 080073
Shall the City of Kansas City prohibit smoking in enclosed places of employment, enclosed public places and on public sidewalks abutting acute care hospitals, while allowing it in casino gaming areas until all casinos located in the Missouri counties of Jackson, Platte and Clay, and the Kansas counties of Johnson and Wyandotte are obligated by ordinance, statute or law to prohibit smoking within the casino areas where gambling games are allowed, as set forth in Ordinance No. 080073, for the purpose of promoting public health by decreasing citizen's exposure to secondhand smoke and creating smoke free environments for workers and citizens through regulation in the work place and all public places?"
My question is: Once an entertainment venue starts charging a cover to get in the door, hasn't that establishment gone "private?" No one can walk in off the street without paying, so it isn't anymore open to the public. So therefore can they not allow smoking customers to light up once the fee to enter begins? As far as that goes, can't places like strip clubs allow smoking, since they are a private facility? In both cases...minors are not allowed into places that charge a cover. So there is no harm in second hand smoke to minors.

I have fond memories of working at Hen House at 95th & Blue Ridge from 1985 till Ball's and Price Chopper took over the stores in 1989. It saddens me how little Buck's legacy in the grocery business is carried on by Price Chopper especially when the HenHouse.com website mentions nothing about Buck. You are meant to think that the Ball family founded the company and not a down to earth honest man like Buck Hinson. Buck gave me my start while I was still in high school and God bless him for what he did for all of his employees over the years.

What Does �Change� Mean in this Presidential Election?
Most media outlets act completely clueless about it. It�s a surefire rallying point in an election that will oust the incredibly unpopular President �Dub-yuh�; the most constant theme in this presidential primary run has been the theme of �change.� Republican Mitt Romney tried to hitch his wagons to the term in his failed Whitehouse bid, as has Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton occasionally. And it all began with on the more successful proponent of change, Democratic Sen. Barack Obama. Commenting on Obama�s message, CNN contributor Leslie Sanchez spouts the same talking point heard throughout all media channels: �voters are wondering, as are independents and even some Republicans, what all this talk about �change� really means.� Obviously anyone elected will be a change from George W. Bush to some extent; however, pundits have thus far chosen to follow the Clinton tact of mocking the term as an empty word rather than commenting on the pervasive message that Obama has used to back up his words.
With Obama, change will mean a massive reduction in the influence of big money lobbyists in Washington. He has already passed a plan in the senate to open up the federal spending record for public scrutiny. It has been pointed out that all three of the major remaing campaigns include lobbyists in their advisory team, but Obama�s only lobbyist represents ecology, not big business. In the Clinton and McCain camps lobbyists can be found who represent some of the largest cell phone companies in the world, big business at its boomingest. McCain faces charges in the national media this week of an unseemly relationship with a special interest lobbyist and has been caught flatfooted, saying, �I do not intend to discuss it further.�
The most vocal advocate of �change� remaining on the campaign trail is the original one, Barack Obama. The change he prescribes is a move away from the corruption that has for too long been accepted as an unavoidable presence in Washington. Obama seeks to reach out to any politician whose interests still lie in representing the people by whom they are elected and whom they are intended to represent. Keeping the high road, he has avoided pointing out directly the perjury, perhaps the highest form of corruption, committed by former President Bill Clinton. He has not pounced on the news of McCain�s lobbyist relations either. Obama has only pointed out his own good record, along with self-effacing admissions of anything in his past that he might be embarrassed of. That is the fresh face that Obama�s �change� stands for, and it will extend into every corner of the political map. It allows him to work comfortably and openly with Republicans, Independents, and Democrats. It will allow him to meet with foreign leaders with whom he strongly disagrees as well, and perhaps for a �change� those negotiations will accomplish something for America and the world.
The United States has been under the influence of big money special interests for too long, which has led to an increase in poverty and unemployment, a lack of concern for domestic workers, unchecked assaults on the environment, predatory lending, and an unstable economy. The �change� America needs is not amorphous and indescribable. It is fundamental; it is a change that will have an impact on every major issue facing America today from the bottom up. Obama�s opponents have created a talking point of emptiness: �What does change mean?� But the question is itself empty. It seems that every time Obama opens his mouth he is telling us what it means. Anyone who does not know has not been trying to find out at all.

Re: “Clearance From the Tower”
The Pitch is a second rate paper. And Miss Nadia needs to get outta town. She wrote an article about Rick West, calling him a "HORNDOG" and saying he mistreats women. What she wrote and things she said in that article are bold face lies..that is why she won, because she lied. She lied about me, and a friend of mine who was then the bass player for Rick. I have known Rick West too many years and have never seen him mistreat a woman. EVER. She won because of the outlandish lies she put in that article. Perhaps other men could take some advice from Rick as to how to treat a woman. I agree with another reader......... you suck. Nadia won because she wrote a damaging story about a man no one really knows. Trust me, she lied to get her award... we should NEVER trust the media!! Everyone wants to read filth and dirt and she really turned things around in her favor as she wrote her winning article. I was there when she danced with Rick and he NEVER once placed his hand in an inappropriate place. If she felt something, then she had the hots for him!! Grandfatherly??? You are sick. Nadia, shame on you for lying and winning any type of award for that article. It will catch up with you one day. Gods knows the truth.
