Tia and Adam do not always agree but the two are happy together, and to try again. They are preparing to live together. Were not started planning for the wedding, but it is likely his family vineyard in Napa. This must be difficult when the twin can not live with you boyfriend.
I wish them good luck too.

Even more exciting than the 4th of July quotes is the Red White and Boom 2010 celebration of fireworks! Some of the best firework display show will be available for the entire world to see.

This 4th of July, make it special by sending out some 4th of July Quotes with your declaration of independence text messages. Send your Independence day quotes and be sure to make this Fourth of July a very special one!“Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better.” – Albert Camus

“This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.” -Elmer Davis

“We on this continent should never forget that men first crossed the Atlantic not to find soil for their ploughs but to secure liberty for their souls.” – Robert J. McCracken

“The American Revolution was a beginning, not a consummation.” -Woodrow Wilson

I love my freedom. I love my America.” – Jessi Lane Adams

Happy Independence Day to everyone! A: We’re looking forward to one heck of a show. Because it’s the 30th, there’s a little more to it in terms of the fireworks, and this year’s soundtrack is one of the best we’ve ever had. Also, we’ve been able to open a little bit of Civic Center because construction is completed. We picked up Civic Center between Broad and Town Street, so it becomes an expansion. Because when we had to move the fireworks due to the construction we went away from this, we’re going to keep all of the stuff we built up on the north end, and now we’re going to expand it into the south end again as the construction gets completed. So it’s more space, more time and the largest amount of concessionaires we’ve ever had. We’re just very excited about the 30th presentation.

Q: Are there any other changes visitors should expect this year?

A: We actually moved something called Children’s Park, which is an interactive environment for kids. It was over by City Hall — the corner of Long and Neil Avenue — and now it’s in the northern end of Long Street, by the Arena District. The space has tripled in terms of our opportunity to present all kinds of interactive things for children, which includes COSI on Wheels, make-and-take crafts, nutritious things, face painters and all of those things for youngsters.

Sunday, the Fourth of July itself, culminates with fireworks, but before the rockets’ red glare, the CP tent has its best back-to-back acts of the festival with the high-steppin’ Dirty Dozen Brass Band at 4:15, followed by the East Texas gumbo and grit of Marcia Ball at 6. Here is the DDBB at this year’s Heritage and Jazz Festival in New Orleans, and here they are in club last October. Marcia Ball’s terrific version of “Big Shot” from Skipper’s Smokehouse in Tampa can be heard here. After Ball, the headliner Counting Crows can be a tad too precious at times, butoccasionally hits the melodic sweet spot. Not a bad way to while away the time before the fireworks.Monday extends the festival a fourth day, and all six acts on the Red House Stage are recommended, but especially Ray Bonneville, whose wry wit, sage insights and steady, chug-a-lug rhythms are reminiscent of J.J. Cale. Here he is performing “Going By Feel” on guitar and harmonica. His 3 p.m. set presents a little conflict when the fine and sharp hip-hop band The Taste of Minnesota 2010 is a great place to take the family for a nice mini-vacation. However, charging up to $30 for this event is ludicrous. It was FREE 2 years ago. Especially during this recession every penny counts and this is not fair. For more information on the fair please go to the Taste of Minnesota 2010 main website at: Faris and his partners believe Taste will now rival the Twin Cities’ three most popular summer music soirees, all of which cost more: the July 9-10 Basilica Block Party ($35-$45 per day), last weekend’s Rock the Garden concert ($40 per ticket) and the Minnesota State Fair ($9-$11 admission, plus $22-$70 for grandstand tickets).

michael steele

epublican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele is facing a new test of his leadership over comments he made that appear to question America’s military effort in Afghanistan.

Video footage that emerged Friday shows Steele referring to the conflict as “a war of Obama’s choosing” and implying that the effort is doomed to fail.

“If he’s such a student of history,” Steele said, referring to President Obama, “has he not understood that, you know, that’s the one thing you don’t do, is engage in a land war in Afghanistan? Everyone who has tried, over 1,000 years of history, has failed.”He described the events surrounding the dismissal of Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal as the top commander in Afghanistan as “comical.”

The video, which appears to have been filmed surreptitiously, was shot at a fundraising event Thursday for the Connecticut Republican Party, a party spokesman confirmed.

Democrats quickly seized on the remarks.

“It’s simply unconscionable that Michael Steele would undermine the morale of our troops when what they need is our support and encouragement. Michael Steele would do well to remember that we are not in Afghanistan by our own choosing — that we were attacked,” Democratic National Committee spokesman Brad Woodhouse said in a statement.Steele has since clarified his controversial remarks, urging a firm commitment of U.S. military force to Afghanistan on behalf of the president. His hold on the chairmanship, meanwhile, seems relatively secure, so long as other committee members refuse to call for his resignation. (Katon Dawson, the South Carolina Republican who was Steele’s primary opponent for the RNC post, has been the one institutional Republican to call for the chairman’s resignation.)

But Kristol and Cheney’s remarks are significant, in so much as they represent real fissures developing within the broader GOP, and likely foreshadow more establishment figures making calls for Steele to step down.Although Steele later backtracked a bit in an official statement, he should be commended for even talking about what is quickly becoming the Democrats’ war in such a frank manner. The Democratic National Committee quickly attacked Steele for wanting to “walk away from the fight against al-Qaeda and the Taliban without finishing the job.”
