Pauls Valley Democrat
Pauls Valley, Oklahoma — Bernadetta (Pierce) Walton, passed away June 6, 2013 in Claremore, Oklahoma at the age of 89 years.
Berna was born April 10, 1924 in Rochester, Texas and arrived in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma in 1926, at the age of two, with her parents Frank and Gracie Pierce in a covered wagon, and has been her home-town ever since.
She attended Grade School in both Jackson and Lee Schools and graduated from Pauls Valley High School in May 1942. While in school, History of any kind was a favorite subject, especially happenings in the area. After graduation, she went to work in September as a Telephone Operator for Southwestern Bell, where they were referred to as "Ma Bell's Girls."
She was married to Cleo A. Walton in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma on September 2, 1953 and has been a member of Pauls Valley First United Methodist Church since November 1953 and involved in many activities, including Methodist Women both locally and worldwide. She was also involved with the Golden Agers, a non-denominational group for Senior Adults, as a Greeter for many years; Berna helped deliver 'Meals-on-Wheels' to shut-ins and assisted in preparing some meals; as well as helped with Vacation Bible School for children and was church historian since 1980.
Berna was a member of Pauls Valley Chapter #185 Order of the Eastern Star since November 1953 where she served as Worthy Matron, District Deputy and Grand Chapter Committees, Associate Mother Advisor of Rainbow Assembly for Girls and organized DeMolay Mother Club, and was President.
She was Charter member of the American Association of Retired Person in Pauls Valley in 1978 and worked with the City Council, HUD, and the Federal Housing Association finalizing plans for housing for Senior Adults resulting in the construction of the Donihoo-Colley Complex which had its grand opening on October 27, 1985.
She also held membership in the Pauls Valley Historical Society since 1978 where she served as Secretary for nine years; and was a volunteer at the Washita Valley Museum and Santa Fe Depot Museum; she received first Heritage Award for Recognition as Volunteer of the Year from Pauls Valley Main Street and for Historic Downtown Revitalization in February 2000.
She had also organized Widowed Persons Service as a support group for widowed women and men in 1986; because of the shortage for trained persons participating, it was disbanded 18 months later.
She was very active as a Volunteer in the Pauls Valley Hospital Auxiliary where she has served since 1983 and was a part-time receptionist at the Stufflebean Funeral Home from June 1985 through December 1999.
Berna was preceded in death by her parents, Frank and Gracie Pierce, and her husband, Cleo A. Walton.

come to MK like you did years back, i was too young to go last time!!
PLz guys! come to India !!!!!!!!!
Was that a defined focus for this album, then?
We just know the things we don't like, so we know whether or not we're feeling this vibe or that vibe that we've had in the past. But, above all, we just let the music take us wherever it wants to go. Mike and I naturally gravitate towards the ideas that inspire lots of melodies right away. From there, the songs will let us know whether they're good or not. Our process is pretty labour intensive, so songs always go through a huge range of work. It's very rare for our songs to start off one way and stay that way. The ones that become really, really hard to work on fall to the side, and the ones that stick around are those that inspire us, lend themselves to lots of different changes, and the ones that are continuously easy to write lyrics or melodies to.
And what can we expect of that lyrical content?
We've been writing a lot about relationships. We're not a political band; we're more of a socially minded band. We try to look at things that we find in the world that we'd like to see less of. We stick to what we're really good at writing about, and we always have these great things to be inspired by. We've found a new way of writing that mixes everything together well – we're not focusing too much energy on home or the studio or the road. And I think that's helped us be more creative, so we'll be able to make records faster, stay out on the road and continue playing shows – while not overplaying to the point of people getting sick of us (laughs).
Revealed! The Secrets Of Linkin Park's New Album
Chester Bennington takes K! on a tour of their forthcoming album – and explains how they've learnt to love guitars again
Linkin park are busy putting the finishing touches to their fifth studio album and they've given Kerrang! the inside story of the new record.
The as-yet-untitled release – tentatively scheduled to see the light of day this summer – is currently being completed in the band's LA studio, and frontman Chster has revealed to K! that it's sounding "a lot more familiar" than the bands last album, ATS.
Where that 2010 release took LP into unfamiliar and polarising territory, the vocalist has promised that the latest outing sees the Californians take heed of their nu metal roots and throw an embrace around guitars once more.
And if that's whetted your appetite for the new release, just wait and see what else Chester and co have shared with us this week…
With the record nearly finished, how are things shaping up in this final straight?
We've found our stride right now. It's really a prolific phase for the band; we've found a place where everyone is really happy and feels like their voice is being heard.
How has the positivity rubbed off in the sound of the record?
One thing that Mike and I discussed early on in the writing process was that we wanted to focus on trying to keep things up-tempo. There's some dark stuff, too, but our fans can tell that even in the darker stuff there's always a glimmer of hope, and that's what we write the songs about. It's about finding that positive twist on even the darkest moments; we never want people to feel any hopelessness.
Was the decision to write "up-tempo" based around planning to play the songs live?
Yeah, that was our real motivator. We know that when our fans come to see us play, they come for the energy of the show. But we've been writing a lot of midtempo stuff and they're good songs, and if we keep writing these kind of songs we're going to end up with a really long set (laughs). We know that with every record we put out we're going to need to put out singles and pick our favourite songs, so we thought it'd make a good exercise.
Does that mean a departure away from the sound of ATS and towards LP of old?
Over the previous two records, we were trying hard to break out of the nu-metal box that we'd found ourselves in. It's easy to characterise us as that, based on HBT and Meteora, when we were a nu-metal band. But we knew there was more to us than that. And, with the exception of the metal seven-string guitar tone that we had on the first two records – which I think is the reason a lot of people like the band – I feel we've found a place where we're finally comfortable in our skin.
Is it simply a case of balancing all the different sides of the band?
Absolutely. There's so many different sides to LP, and we're tapping into each of them a little bit. With this album, we've incorporated a lot of guitar work with big choruses and the heavier electro stuff to give it a really big wall of sound feeling without getting too metal. This will be a lot more familiar to people than ATS was, where we were like, "Fuck it, we're just gunna go bonkers." (laughs).

Western Illinois Sweeps Mid-Con Doubleheader from Valpo
Friday, April 25, 2003Brooke Benson hit a two-run, two-out homerun in the top of the seventh in the opener and Becky Sullivan threw a no-hitter in game two as Western Illinois swept a doubleheader from Valparaiso 6-4 and 8-0 on Friday afternoon at the Valparaiso University Softball Field.
In the opener, the Westerwinds got on the scoreboard first with two runs in the top of the third on a double by Cassandra Hallstrom. Valpo cut the lead in half in the second when Amy Mitchell (Star, Idaho/Eagle H.S.) singled to lead off the inning. Stephanie Reinke (Parker, Colo./J.K. Mullen H.S.) reached on a bunt single and advanced all the way to third on throwing errors by the third basemen and first basemen.
The Crusaders tied the game in the fourth when Reinke reached on a fielding error to plate Ali Bultman (Hamilton, Ohio/Fairfield H.S.). Valpo then took the lead in the fifth with four straight singles with two outs. Kelly Silvey (Indianapolis, Ind./Bishop Chatard H.S.) singled home Corey Burns (Orland Park, Ill./Sandburg H.S.) and Mitchell singled to plate Bultman.
Western Illinois tied the game in the sixth on an RBI double by Katie Pickens and a sacrifice fly off the bat of Jessica Stanforth. Benson's homer on the first pitch in the seventh scored the two runs that provided the final margin of victory for the Westerwinds.
Sullivan came on in relief of Lindsay Tasker to record the win while Amanda Gilbertson (Murrieta, Calif./West Albany H.S., Ore.) went the distance for Valpo in the losing effort. Bultman, Silvey, and Mitchell all had two hits for the Brown and Gold, while Benson and Sarah Fleischmann had two hits a piece for the visitors.
In game two it was all Sullivan. She struck out four and walked just two in her no-hit effort. The Westerwinds scored in every inning off of Brittany Atteberry (Schererville, Ind./Lake Central H.S.) beginning with three in the first.
Jennifer Tyrell went 3-for-4 for the Westerwinds at the plate, while Hallstrom was 3-for-3 with two RBIs. Hannah Tull and Sammi Smith added two hits each.
Valpo (7-29, 3-10 Mid-Con) and Western Illinois (23-23, 7-7) will wrap-up their four-game series on Saturday with a doubleheader beginning at noon. The games will be the final home contests of the season for the Crusaders, and Senior Day activities will begin at approximately 11:40 a.m.

This is not the first Kings on Ice show to have problems recently. There was the mega-show back in December that was canned too.
I think Plushy needs to find himself some new promoters for KOI. It's got the potential to be a great show, but recently it's just been trouble. And I'm sure the last thing he wants is any fans getting ripped off over it.
But I must say the whole thing confuses me. Posters, a ticketer selling tickets, promotion on his official website - someone in his camp definitely thought this was going ahead. I wonder if there was some kind of miscommunication with the venue?
Hope anyone who's bought tickets can get their money back. Or a show goes ahead.
None of that makes sense to me.Plushenkos agent Ari Zakaryan told R-Sport that he was unaware of tickets being sold and promised to pull advertising for the show from the skaters website.
I know that they were planning to do a show and the promoter gives a call to the ticket office and they say they are not selling tickets, he said.
The agreement was between me and the promoter and Plushenko has nothing to do with that. Im his agent and Im booking his events, thats all. Hes in training.
If this is to end in fire
Then we will all burn together
I really dont find Zakarian such a great manager to start with, he has done some good shows but he has also done many fouls and is irresponsible.
This one seems to say that there was a "verbal agreement" of sorts, but nothing finalized, and the promoter just jumped the gun on advertising before the contract was complete.
I am free of all prejudices. I hate everyone equally.~W. C. Fields
Follow-up article.
Figure skater Evgeni Plushenko continues to train hard amid crazy rumors
The promoter and agent should work diligently for skater and audienceThe agreement was between Zakarian and the promoter and should not be attributed to Plushenko.
When reached for comment, Zakarian said There were no tickets to sell, and the ad was only for five days, but the arena could not provide ice time, so what else can I say?
Nobody made a penny on this, and there is no scandal. Trust me.
I guess rumors are always there to cling on successful people
If there were no tickets to sell and no ice time, why was there an add even for one day?
If this is to end in fire
Then we will all burn together

If you love music, you're going to love Nokia Music for Windows Phone. It takes the things that you already love about Zune – millions of tracks to download, personalization, and great audio quality – and extends it to make your music experience even better. Mark Wheatly, Nokia Music's product manager, took me through the apps to show me some of its unique features.
Fun fact about Mark before we get to the video – this guy has over 95,000 (yes, you read that right) tracks in his music library. That officially makes him the most hard-core music nerd I know. That also means that when he talks music, you should listen. Here's what he had to say about Nokia Music:
Streaming is great, but what really made me say "wow" when I saw Nokia Music was its offline functionality; the ability to create a custom streaming station and save it for offline listening will be great for my many air travels. The gig finder is also pretty cool – I love the option to find a live show wherever I am in the world. And don't forget about that personalized radio feature…I'm kind of curious to see what "percentage" it assigns to my different tastes in music.
I'll be at Nokia World all of today and tomorrow, blogging about the great stuff I find on the show floor, interviewing interesting people from both Nokia and Microsoft, and sharing as much as I can find about what the future holds for Nokia and Windows Phone. Keep an eye on the blog for new posts and follow me on Twitter for more sharable stuff from Nokia World!
And remember that you can keep up on all the latest stuff from Windows Phone through the Windows Phone Facebook Page and @WindowsPhone Twitter handle.
@ Leigh
Skydrives great, but for music you have to upload each song one by one, and the SkyDrive music streaming on the phone is just a link to the SkyDrive site. I love the cloud services, but right now they just aren't linked together well enough for it to be s seamless experience. Why can't WP have a option to stream strait from "my collection" in the zune software for PC? Until these updates come we just simply WANT MORE MEMORY! Is this to much to ask.
According to the keynote, the Nokia Music service is free, but I could have heard that wrong. I don't doubt that tigher integration will come over the months ahead, so that the line gets blurred between the services.
Guys, I hate to disagree, but I have plenty of space on my device for all my muisic. With the marketplace, there really is no reason to carry around a plethura of music on your device. There are also a variety of services that will stream from cloud services where you store you music. Some use SkyDrive, others use other clouds. (YES, dare I say it, that's another thing Apple decided to copy from Microsoft, and pretend that they invented it).
Anyway, having a c-load of memory on your phone is passe'.
Any let's sachet over the maps for a second, shall we? Nokia maps (NAVTEQ) will probably find itself in the middle of Bing maps soon, so we will just all get a better experience.
This Nokia agreement is BIG, folks!
-Enjoy Windows Phone 7.5
Like many others, I have been telling all my "nay sayer" friends, just wait until you see the Nokia phone. And now I have many of the same feelings of disappointment as many who have posted here. More memory, and a better camear, HD 1080p, and two cameas were really what I was expecting (in addition to the great hardward quality!)
It looks like a great phone, but just so much less than current Android, and iPhone hardware available NOW! It looks like to me the new Windows phone hardware from Samsung, and HTC have given them a great chance to pre-empt what could have been a great opportunity for Nokia!
ScubaDogs right! I have just a few hundred songs on my Focus and the memory's gone! what really doesn't make any sense is that MS is working against us in both ways to keep our memory low. They wont offer SD card slots and they will not offer more native storage space! Apple offers up to 64GB!
Forget the Windows Phone Feature Suggestion Box page. Listen up! If Apple and Google have something then we want it to, in fact, we want better! We don't want Microsoft or Nokia's idea of a high end phone, we want the tech worlds idea of a high end phone! The phones released today are great, but what really worries me is that those phones aren't even going to be available here in the US anytime soon. I mean soon in most peoples opinion, not MS version of soon which is after everybody else does it. And most people didn't expect to get the real high end phones until at least 1st quarter next year, but instead now the only think we can expect is something average, next year?
I hope being a Windows Phone fan isn't just pathetically hopping to get old tech in the future when other have it now. Maybe there is room for a 4th OS! Is that what you guys want? Come on guys work with us. We are the only loyalist that you have, but we can only take so many let downs, especially after a years gone by.
Another thing, don't for any minute think that 25 year old's are stupid. They want the best and as it stands would pass up the current crop of upcoming phones in a heart beat to get Android or iPhone. Something has got to change and moves need to be made quick! I have waited for months, and bragged about how high end the Nokia hardware is going to be and today my lips are sealed, hoping none of my Android buddies call me.
Never the less, I will hold my head high and continue to push WP7.5. All I ask, MS, is please don't let my efforts be taken in vein.
This looks really great. Is there any word on whether there will be a fee for using this service? It'd be great if it were free like the GPS service they are building into it.
Also, I know there's a good deal of fuss from some people about the size of the storage space, but I don't see this being an issue with all that many people. I play in 2 bands, and I love discovering new music. I love listening to all different kinds of music, but I'm selective when I add music to my devices. I only add the music that I'd really like to listen to. I don't add full albums (most of the time) so as far as my usage is concerned, 8GB will be fine. Of course, I'd love to have one that had 32GB in it, but if it adds to the cost of the phone too much, it'll be a waste of money.
That being said, I do think it is important to start supporting and encouraging expandable memory more aggressively. Not for my sake, but for utitlity's sake (for other people). The sky should be the limit, and currently, it is not.
Thanks for the great updates!
@GoodThings2Life - Side note here, but after Sprint wrapped the Arrive in ivy to help promote switching to iphone a couple weeks ago, I got the latest newsletter today, boasting about the Mango goodness on the Arrive.. so MAYBE if Nokia goes ahead with a CDMA version we'll get that.. I haven't had a Nokia phone since I left VoiceStream (right before they became T-Mobile) about 10 years ago. I'd love to help them help WP7!
By the way, @Ben Rudolph, download music to what? 8GB or 16GB of storage? I think that was a bad call, personally. For the true audiophile, that's just not enough.
I agree with tsrblke on this one... I love what I see, but I want to know and trust that Zune Marketplace isn't going away. I love the Microsoft one-stop shopping for content... because it integrates on my laptop/desktop, mobile device, and Xbox... but this would (potentially, assuming a quick arrival on Sprint) be the only Nokia device I would have.
Well, I was disappointed in the initial offering from Nokia. I had hopes that the 800 would have the option of 16GB or 32GB, in which case that would have been enough for me to leave my Focus. I'm hoping SOMEbody will come out with a device next year with higher storage capacity. I currently have 32GB used on my Focus. The rest of the specs on both Lumia devices are not really any different from what other competitors will be providing on their devices, except the better camera. I'll setting for a not-as-good camera if I can have plenty of storage. I rely on the cloud for everything else, but media is such a data hog and signal just isn't to be found everywhere I go, so onboard storage for the foreseeable future is something that's really a deal-breaker for me. On the up side, I love the looks of both the Lumia devices. Much nicer than any of the Android devices. And the iPhone....well, <yawn>.
Steven Ellop said that CDMA would be supported.....When he said so he had this look on his face like " we will support it but we shouldn't have to" I don't know, maybe I read him wrong.
You can watch the whole keynote here.... events.nokia.com/nokiaworld
Yeah, that was exactly why I was wondering if Nokia Music will make it to North America...
Should we be at all worried about canibilization of the Zune service on this one? He showed how it was integrated, but one wonders how much that matters if it has it's own marketplace (and presumably it's own subscription cost).
Zune somewhat got aborted internationally though, so they could stand alone in different regions (with Nokia Music staying across the Pond and Zune staying here in North America).
I hope this makes it to the U.S. release of the Nokia phones, AND that the phones support CDMA when they get here. I'm ready to jump all over that Nokia Music system!!!

So, I was riding home on the BTS this afternoon after work sitting there absorbed in my ipod as usual, and mindlessly staring at the people in front of me clinging to the straps and bars as we hummed along. Now, bear in mind that I'm just like a million other people on public transportation around the world in that I normally try to tune out people around me as I make my daily commutes. However, today I noticed this trendy looking little Thai lady in front of me in lovely designer dress and fashionable high heels. Well…actually not so much the lady as the purse slung over her arm. She had this big dark leather purse with the words "I am not a plastic bag!" creatively stitched to the side of the hand bag to make it super trendy.
Ok, so never mind that it was a big purse made of leather and that it looked a tad tacky, because it was what she had in her other hand that amused me the most. In her other hand she was holding 3 plastic shopping bags with 1 separate item in each of the 3 bags. I sort of smirked to myself and had a little inner chuckle at this woman sporting this trendy "green" designer bag in the name of high fashion, all the while obviously oblivious to the cause . However, It isn't just her because I've seen a disturbing new trend arise here in Bangkok lately. Recycling has become the "in" thing to do and every where you look you can buy fabric shopping bags with trendy "green" slogans printed on them. A friend of mine even bought one recently nicely sealed in plastic wrap and of course, put in a plastic bag at the completion of the purchase. Why, even yesterday I popped into the Emporium Shopping Center here in Bangkok to pick up my new glasses and there was a mini "Save the Earth," concert being held in the event hall. There were shoppers all standing/sitting around with their styrofoam cups of tea and plastic shopping bags listening to musicians play in front of a screen cycling through pictures of glaciers, polar bears, and drought stricken villagers some where.
Now please don't get me wrong. I'm all for going 'green' and doing your part for the environment. I like to think I do my own little things to be conscious about the issue like using public transport, walking up the flight of steps where I live instead of using the elevator, or refusing to let the bewildered 7-11 staff put each individual item I purchase in separate individual bags. I honestly think it is an important issue in today's world but something tells me someone here in Thailand has lost the point some where along the way. I've got 3 words for you…education, education, education. Just my two cents though, so I'll get off my little soap box for now. I hope everyone is having a great week thus far, and chin up as the weekend is almost here! Till next time thanks for stopping by for a read.

Newsflash genius..the NBA and the owners just voted to strip him of ownership, so no he is not our owner. And as for classless I would hardly think the Warriors are in any position to call anyone that with their headcoach and his stripper loving addiction, or the dysfunctional developments among the coaching staff. I hear one fo the fired coaches was recording meetings...hmm, I wonder what that now fired coach was trying to record;)
wrong again. Someone doesn't know the facts, but your trolling here is really proving us wrong that Lakers/Golden State Fans are classy Also, have a look at your knight in shinning armor, Mark Jackson. He sure looks classy here talking **** to our guys
Still think he's a nice guy? Have a nice long read here:
http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/81081 ... ion-scheme
That's not what i read. Sounds like Dubs heard somebody taunting them in hallway, Steph and Blake ran out to confront bellboys, then clips staff and players went over to confront. then Speights (per River's son who deleted the tweet calling him a punk) went into Clips locker room and started something to which Baby Davis replied to. As more details came out, no mention of CP starting it in any article except the first one.
Multiple sources who were present for the altercation indicate the incident began when Warriors players heard someone they believed to be a Clippers assistant coach loudly saying how quiet it was in the Warriors' locker room. When Warriors players came out, there were no coaches present but a shouting match between players from both teams soon ensued in the tunnel. It never got physical but it was heated enough that police and security had to be called to calm the situation, sources told ESPN.
http://espn.go.com/nba/playoffs/2014/st ... ting-match
Do they really need to react that when they heard somebody said that their locker room is quiet? I mean no big deal. They are just too sensitive.
The word "quiet" is the ultimate insult to anyone affiliated with the Warriors.
D12 was a monster and all star so asking him to stay was I guess warranted?
But man they're even getting together to get Nick Young to stay. They got the website but were too embarrassed to put another poster up. (I like Nick Young too).
you rigged your polls. I was a fan before 2000 and before that too
Why are you guys even wasting your time on this bitch sogood. The only thing sogood is what the Clipps stuck up in the warriors' rear end.
Ask? ASK? ASK???
Stop right there.... with posters like that all over LA.... the fLAkers were begging him to stay.
It's funny how every STAR that leaves the lakers the following year their team is a better team then the lakers. WEIRD
but back to the topic on hand..... Warriors are sore sore losers..... I'm not talking about this incident just in general. Their classless reaction to every regular season game win/lose was beyond me.......
That whole circus act when Blake missed that 3 point, Bogut always pushing and trying to get Blake and/or DJ into fights etc.... I get it dirty players exist but admit it don't hide behind Klay Thompson's lame comments about "blake's a flopper" when curry fell to the floor during every 3 point shot that was contested...
and if any clippers coach etc. said anything outside the locker room why would the warriors react like Jr. High Schoolers... be men about it.....besides you really didn't think the warriors were going to win the series after being handed a 40+ point lose in game 2 would you..... THAT WAS EMBARRASSING FOR YALL!!!
Nba plans to look into this per ramona - will be livid if our players get suspended. Te taunting was bad, but the warriors didn't need to escalate it by rushing out
Without any tangible evidence it will be impossible for the NBA to suspend any of our players.

So You Want to be a Great Defender?!
Learn to Read the Hitter!!
Carla Anderton (Collierville, Tenn.) - Cap II
The greatest defensive players have the ability to "read the opponent's attack" and position themselves in both a court and body position that allows one to track, pursue and play the ball. This means the defender must play a court position anticipating an attack, but a body position anticipating an off-speed shot and run it down.
For some players this ability is innate and for some it must be instilled and trained, but all players with this ability have one thing in common – they are driven individuals who have the mindset to spontaneously react and go after "every" ball, known by many as RELENTLESS PURSUIT of the ball. This positioning is heavily dependent on the placement of the opponent's set (off net or tight) and the formation of the team block (single, double, line and/or angle). A player who can anticipate and read the situation as it develops will have the jump on those that don't, won't or can't.
Size Up Your Opponent
At all times before each serve or receive, look across the net to learn whether the setter is on the front row or back row and determine the number of front row hitters. Ask yourself some questions, like:
Next, watch how the ball is PASSED. The quality of the pass will more times than not give you huge clues as to what is likely to be set and to what area of the court or which hitter. If the ball is passed behind the 10-foot line, then the set to the front row will likely be at an angle to the Left Front or Right Front; thus, typically resulting in an angled attacked. Keep in mind that learning to "Read the Hitter" is a process of elimination.
Now, we are on to the actual SET. Your first focus is to watch the setter. You already know whether he/she is on the front or back row so it will be easier to figure out if he/she jumps whether it is a set or a possible attack. When he/she is front row, does the setter like to attack the second ball? It is harder to read a left-handed setter in this position than a right-handed setter. Some obvious signs of the setter readying to attack are:
Attackers' Body Language
Once the set is not attacked by the Setter, turn your focus to the likely hitter. Watch the approach! An aggressive approach tends to lead to an aggressive attack and a slower approach tends to lead to some type of an off-speed shot (roll, soft, deep placement or a tip). So here is a big clue to watch out for - the lack of a full approach is a red alert that an off-speed shot is coming.
Where the attacker is going to hit the ball is typically given away by the spiker's angle of approach and where their shoulders are facing. Let's take, for instance, an attacker in the Left Front (position 4). If the attacker takes an approach angle from outside the court, she will typically attack at a cross-court angle. If the attacker starts the approach inside the sideline near the 10-foot line, then watch for the line shot or the middle zone of the court to be attacked. After determining the angle of approach, next look at the attacker's shoulders and feet. If the shoulders and feet are pointing toward the net, you can expect a down the line shot. If they are angled to the net post expect a cross-court shot. An attacker's ball tends to go in the direction in which their feet are set up. If an attack has to "adjust" their approach due to a set to far off or to tight to the net, the results is often a safe hit that the attacker just tries to keep in play, and by percentages this means cross court where there is more room to keep the ball in the court.
Next, watch the hitter's armswing. The elbow and hand will give you even more clues to determine whether it will be a hard hit shot or an off-speed shot. If the elbow drops into a "shot put" position, it is a good guess that an off-speed attack is coming in the form of a tip or roll shot. Can you see the attacker's hand? During a fast armswing that results in a hard attack, everything is fast and you probably cannot see the hand. If you can see the attacker's hand, the arm is moving slower and you should expect the off-speed shot. One more clue can be taken from where the hitter's palm is facing:
Location of the Set
The hitter's shot selection is often limited by the location of the set. For an outside hitter a perfect set that is near the antenna and about 2-3 feet off the net gives the hitter the most selection and he/she will be in control with a whole arsenal of options. The tighter the set is, the more you should expect the ball to be driven down hard and shallow if no block is up and at a sharp angle if there is. The closer to the antenna the ball is the more you should expect a line shot. If the set is outside the antenna, expect a sharp cross court near the 10-foot line. If the ball is set off the net, expect a deep ball probably hit at an angle. If the ball is set behind the hitter, or the hitter approaches too far under the ball, an off-speed shot is highly likely. A low inside set ball will typically lead to an angled shot (think of a 31 or shoot). Slides typically come back to the RB if the set is outside the antenna, or if the hitter passes up the set.
Location of the Block
All defenders need to understand their team's blocking strategy. If your team has a blocking strategy, then you generally have a plan on where you are trying to force the opponent to hit the ball - preferably to your strongest defenders – including you. Never stand directly behind your blockers because you cannot see the hitter. Seeing the attacker's body language and approach (sometimes even their eyes) is key to determining where they are aiming. Make sure that there is a defender assigned to tip coverage for the over the block soft shots. Encourage your blockers to communicate if they are blocking line or angle, thus helping the defense behind them to be in a better position or expect possibly holes in the block if blocking both line and angle.
The first line of defense is the block. Blockers eyes should follow the pass to the setter then after the set focus on the attacker to determine approach angle, and then once they establish their position and jump, focus back on the ball. Blockers need to watch the attacker's shoulders and arm plus make a quick mental note of the direction the attacker is facing as the hitter is jumping. It is key for the Blockers to learn to read the approach and front the hitter by lining up with the attackers hitting shoulder and where the ball is expected to cross the net. During warm-ups, it is important to notice if there are any left-handed hitters on the opposing team.
Technique of Defender
The Defender's starting position is very important. The feet should be a little more than shoulder width apart and well balanced with weight leaning forward up on the toes (the body position for tip). One foot should be slightly in front of the other and the player is ready to move in any direction. The arms and hands should be in front of the player and apart leaving the player ready to run first then create the platform to dig. The player needs to soften a hard, driven dig by relaxing the arms back toward the body a little at contact, thus absorbing some of the ball's force. The defender should always try to use two hands and stay on their feet whenever possible. If the ball is hit at the defenders face, he/she should use the overhand dig and push the ball straight up.
The Defender's goal is to always get the ball up. Good technique and a never-say-die attitude are key to becoming a great defender. Ways of getting to the ball to get it up and playable include:
Tracking down a far away shot starts with the right attitude – one that says "I can get it." Charge the ball with two arms and try to contact the ball on the forearm by snapping the ball upward to lift it up. Strive to get the ball to the middle of the court so that a teammate can set the ball. Playing the ball low will allow more time to stay under the ball and create more control.
Attackers Ability, Tendencies & Performance
A great defender is also a great gatherer of information. Learn to read the hitters' signs, gather the clues and identify any strengths and weaknesses. First, most hitters tend to hit where their body faces, and at most levels most balls are hit cross court. Tips are obvious because you can SEE the hitters hand due to the slower armswing.
During warm-ups one should learn to size up the attackers.
Once you gather some information, you can start to formulate an educated guess as to the type of sets they will call; high sets verses quick tempo sets. A right-handed player that over rotates or is "goofy footed" will tend to hit a lot of balls down the line or into the block from the left front attacker position (reverse for a lefty in right front). A slower, shorter hitter will have to use more off-speed placement shots during a match so expect variety. A quick, tall, good leaping hitter is the hardest to read if the player possesses a variety of shots. Pay attention to the setter's backsets. Many setters do not get the set all the way out to the attacker's right hand (to the antenna) thus lining up the hitter to hit into the block or only leaving them the cross court angle.
In order to learn an opponent's tendencies, you need to learn to scout the opponent. This can be done by watching video ahead of time, catching one of their matches during your off time at a tournament and/or asking a common opponent. A great tool is charting every attack by a player for a full set as this will show where the majority of their attacks are being directed. Things to determine include:
Mindset of the Great Defender
First of all, a great defender must become a great reader and want and expect the ball at all times. One must possess the attitude that they can and WILL get to any ball and will show relentless pursuit in going after the ball. The key thought is to expect every ball to be hit hard your way and to not be caught by surprise! Focus first on the hard attack (so get into good court position for a hard hit ball) and second on the off-speed shot (so be in a low-ready body position to react to the tip). Always be ready to move striving to beat the ball to its destination. Have the goal of getting in the attacker's head and frustrating them by getting every ball up. Control an attacker's best shot by popping it up.
There are three main elements to good defense, which are study, discipline and patience. Study the opponent. Discipline yourself to learn the clues and go with the odds. Have the patience to cover your area and trust your teammates to do the same. Some of the main tactics and strategies include:
Training the Defender
Start with some basic drills with a few initial reps with a coach or hitter up on a box in Left Front and a digger in Left Back across the net. The hitter can allow the defender to read body, armswing and hand contact clues by hitting a series of hard, then soft, then tip and roll shots to the digger. As soon as the digger "gets it", start to mix-up the different attacks. Remember to have the digger in different positions as well as move the coach or hitter around to Middle and Right Front. The key is to try to "duplicate" a hitter's motion as closely as possible, which includes tossing the ball at a realistic, game-like height.
As soon as possible add a live hitter that self tosses and attacks from about five feet off the net. Repeat the above to allow the defender to read an approach and time the attacker's jump and swing. Add a second hitter with one in Left Front and the other in Right Front. Finish by alternating the hitters and attacks.
Hit & Dig - Repeat the above from a live set with two diggers and two hitters on the court – now the defenders have to communicate and make decisions on who is getting the set, where the attacker will hit and who is to play the ball. Let each attacker take 10 attacks and count how many balls the two diggers get up to the middle of the court. Challenge the diggers' range by using just one digger and two hitters.
No Blocking Drills - Trying doing some of your normal wash drills with no blocking and work on setting the ball five feet off the net. This will push your defense to really read the hitters, plus work the hitters on practicing an out of system attack. However, unless your team never blocks, make sure you do most drills WITH Blockers at the net to give your defenders much more game-like situations that they will see in the match!
When training to become a great reader you must learn to develop great court sense. There is no better way to learn than by playing the game. The art of great defense calls for good positioning. Anticipation is the first step followed by the ability to read. Reading the hitter calls for studying the hitter to determine their shots, watching the attacker's approach line, watching the attacker's body language and the armswing. Attitude is everything and great defenders always want the ball!
Hints & Clues:

Before heading into a dreadful series in Houston in which they lost three of four to the worst team in the National League, the Philadelphia Phillies were three games out of the second wild card spot in the National League.
A six-game sweep over the Colorado Rockies and Miami Marlins yielded one of the best homestands in franchise history, and the sports talk stations were abuzz at the turnaround that the Philadelphia Phillies, a team given up for dead at the trading deadline in late July, had made.
Today, even after Cliff Lee K'd 10 Mets and the Phightin's knocked two homeruns off Cy Young candidate R.A. Dickey, they're a half-game worse off than when they entered the weekend, with four teams yet to pass and not a lot of road left ahead.
Despite their history of being one of the best second-half teams in baseball, despite middling play from the Los Angeles Dodgers, Milwaukee Brewers and Pittsburgh Pirates before them, despite an infusion of Charlie-ball and a spark from the IronPigs, there simply may not be enough time left to be a better-than-.500 ballclub.
That's not to say these Phils don't have some swagger. They've made several late-inning pushes to keep the fans interested throughout the month. They've also served up plenty of steamers.
In recent weeks, Jimmy Rollins has carried the team on his back, swiping bags and knocking dingers; yet he's still run afoul of manager Charlie Manuel for a lack of hustle on more than one occasion. Ryan Howard is back from injury and producing RBI, but the man dubiously nicknamed "Mr. September" also is hitting a dismal .193 with nothing leaving the yard off his stick since before Labor Day.
The much-maligned Phillies bullpen has at times been one of the best in the business, thanks to rookie Phillippe Aumont (acquired in the short-lived Cliff Lee trade to Seattle) and closer Jonathan Papelbon, who saved his 35th game tonight.
And at times, Aumont has looked stretched too thin, and Papelbon has blown four saves and lost six games outright. We will kindly omit from the discussion the maddening inconsistency of setup man Antonio Bastardo, who has been both bafflingly brilliant and thoroughly lousy.
In a year of mixed blessings, General Manager Ruben Amaro deserves credit for keying the team's turnaround, shipping Joe Blanton, Shane Victorino and Hunter Pence to potential wild-card competitors in the West. In came an influx of Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs that gave the team a jolt.
Players such as Erik "Chris Coste 2012" Kratz and Kevin Frandsen are putting up solid numbers in their call-up duties while relievers Jake Diekman, Justin De Fratus and B.J. Rosenberg and starter Tyler Cloyd have made a difference.
But the Philadelphia Phillies are still a remote longshot to make the postseason, if not just for the number of teams ahead of them for the second Wild Card spot (four) but the quality of their schedules.
- The Pirates play a few more competitive teams: the Brewers, the NL Central-leading Reds and the Wild Card-leading Braves. They've also got a seven-game road swing through Houston and New York.
- Milwaukee has a harder, 10-game road schedule: three each with the Reds and Pirates, plus four with the Nationals before playing their final six games at home against the Astros and Padres.
- The Dodgers also face the Reds as well as the Nationals and the rival Giants, but should feast on the Rockies and Padres, which they play three times each.
- The Cardinals will square off against the Reds and Nats—but play nine of their last 15 games against the woeful Astros and Cubs.
- In addition to three-game stands against the Phillies and Pirates, the Braves have five match-ups with the dreadful Marlins and three with the Mets.
As for the Phillies, after they wrap the next two with the Mets, they return home for two series agains the Braves and Nationals, respectively, and then hit the road for the final six games: three in Miami and three in Washington.
So where does that leave our boys—and we fans?
Watching the scoreboard for help.

The foods you crave when you're stressed are just making your bad mood worse, research out of Harvard reveals.
In the United States, approximately 13,000 children under the age of 21 are diagnosed with cancer every year and approximately one-fourth of them will not survive the disease, according to the American Childhood Cancer Organization (ACCO) website.
Because of this, the ACCO has made September the National Childhood Cancer Awareness month in order to raise funds to promote research and family support.
Childhood cancers tend to be more aggressive than adult cancers, according to the ACCO. The most common childhood cancers include bone cancer, leukemia and brain cancer.
The ACCO promotes groups and individuals to contribute in raising funds for awareness. Schools can participate in PJammin for Kids with Cancer, where students can pay $1 to wear pajamas to school.
Businesses and organizations can participate in a Go Gold event, where participants incorporate gold, the symbol of childhood cancer. The ACCO provides gold ribbons and fliers to promote the organization's gold event, as well as free event planning consultations.
Individuals can also get involved by purchasing awareness kits to support and promote research.

Ron Paul's Lessons for the GOP Establishment
Ron Paul's establishment adviser explains the lessons the GOP can learn from his success.
Trygve Olson was a senior adviser to Ron Paul's 2012 presidential campaign. He has consulted for the National Republican Senatorial Committee, the Republican National Committee, and numerous campaigns via his company, Viking Strategies LLC.
As Republican soul searching continues it behooves the party to examine lessons from what some might see as an unexpected source, Ron Paul. The Washington establishment may be dubious that any answers to challenges the party faces will be found via the 77-year-old, libertarian-leaning, Republican. Yet a party growing greyer and whiter—in a country where the electorate is younger and more diverse—can learn a great deal from the man affectionately known to his supporters as Dr. Paul. In fact, as the "resident member of the establishment" in the Paul world, I have been reminded of a number of valuable lessons from my work on his behalf.
The Ron Paul movement grew from the ground up to over one million activists with a simple value-based message: liberty. The movement organically grew via blogs, websites, social networks, and word of mouth. It built an innovative system of moneybombs to translate activism into substantial financial resources, raising over $100 million in four years. It continues conducting extensive training via groups like Campaign for Liberty and undertakes campaigns based on issues manifesting its values. For example Audit the Fed and Internet Freedom. For the Paul movement values are the message.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the Republican Party.]
Today Republicans appear less focused on promoting values and more on fighting on issues inside the 24 hour news cycle. Yet, the party's base is clamoring for leaders to stand up for adherence to the Constitution, for fiscal responsibility, and against excessive government. Exit polling from 2012 suggests these are not solely values of Tea Party activists, conservatives, or Republicans. In fact, 51 percent of voters in 2012 said government "is doing too much." However President Obama—the candidate of "government doing more"—received a quarter of these voters. To succeed, Republicans must demonstrate its values, like the idea that government is doing too much, are congruent with those of average Americans. As with Ron Paul, the party's messaging must become an application of values.
The second lesson Republicans should take from Ron Paul's movement relates to its vertical nature and organizational structure. The Republican Party is traditionally horizontal. The establishment classes devise the strategy, set the agenda, drive the messaging, and push the tactics. They assume activists will play along. This model is outdated in the age of Internet politics. The Paul movement's political operatives, like those in the Obama campaigns, realize they can't control the grassroots. Thus the goal of Paul efforts is to shape activism towards achievement of strategic goals. Thereby making the grassroots the drivers of the value based messaging and partners in the strategic cause. For the Republican Party to be successful it must become more vertical, empowering activists to be the tip of the spear in convincing others they share Republican values.
[Read the U.S. News Debate: Is There a Republican 'War on Women'?]
The third lesson from Ron Paul is about outreach to younger voters. Throughout his campaigns, and the years in between, Ron Paul succeeded where Republicans dare not go: college campuses. Conventional Republican wisdom is to cede this territory to Democrats. Yet, at iconic liberal bastions like Berkley and the University of Wisconsin, Ron Paul drew thousands. His message never wavered: Washington is broke; adhere to constitutional principles; pursue a humble foreign policy.
I am often asked why he connects with younger voters. My response is that to understand his appeal one must start with the world—and country—in which they are coming of age. Thirty year-olds today were in high school on 9/11. They understand terrorism doesn't just happen in faraway places. They have lived through two wars with classmates and friends deployed in far off lands, some who haven't returned. They have endured two major recessions and many are unable to find jobs while they are burdened with huge education debts. They voted for Obama's "hope and change." Through all of these experiences younger voters have been forced into self-reliance. Dr. Paul delivers a message based on self-empowerment, where government isn't the solution, which has the potential to be as powerful as "hope and change." However Republican values will not resonate with this generation until we start making our case.

Generic alternatives are sometimes great. However, sometimes they are slightly different than the brand name, and that can make a huge difference to some of us. I have tried a couple of generics, to save money, and have had adverse effects. Staying with the brand, for one of my meds., is best for me.
Kind regards.

"All the 4Ws systems I am aware of turn the rear wheels opposite of the front."
.....at low speed.
From wiki:
"Four-wheel steering (or all wheel steering) is a system employed by some vehicles to increase vehicle stability while maneuvering at high speed, or to decrease turning radius at low speed.
In most four-wheel steering systems, the rear wheels are steered by a computer and actuators. The rear wheels generally cannot turn as far as the front wheels.
Sports cars sometimes include 4-wheel steering for stability at high speeds. When performing an abrupt lane change at highway speeds, for example, a car with four-wheel steering will avoid rear suspension loading common in 2-wheel steering cars. Because the rear wheels steer in the same direction as the front wheels, the car is transitioned more gently into turning.
Alternatively, several systems (including Delphi's Quadrasteer and the system in Honda's Prelude line) allow for the rear wheels to be steered in the opposite direction as the front wheels during low speeds. This allows the vehicle to turn in a significantly smaller radius—sometimes critical for large trucks or vehicles with trailers."
Thanx for the post rorr. I as most of you know am a huge advocate of more 4-Wheel Steering Systems to be available on the market. The greatest example was the Dodge Stealth TT because it used All-Wheel Drive also to further enhance it's performance capability. I could only imagine what such a modern system could be capable of today with a combo of both. ex. A Porsche 911 with AWD & 4WS. :surprise:
I do think we will see it really soon because the rumor says the Nissan Skyline? GT-R will have TT 450hp AWD & 4WS and I will be willing to bet that this will become the greatest modern sports car in the world at any price. I will tell you this much, this GM fan would love to own a copy. If the GM-Nissan Merge would of worked out I just might of saved all my pennies and bought one.
Oh well maybe GM, upper management will make me a good alternative someday. Hopefully before my mid-life crisis hits. :P
"ex. A Porsche 911 with AWD & 4WS."
Well, they've been building the Carrara 4s for a while now. But you gotta ask yourself: knowing what those guys know, why DON'T they use 4ws? There's gotta be a reason.....
Look at those marques which are famous for handling (ie. Lotus, Porsche, Ferrari, Lambo, etc.). And then look at which ones use 4ws for high-speed handling. Zero.
Personally, I think 4ws is great for low-speed work to enhance manueverability of long vehicles (GM trucks comes to mind). But I think it's a waste for sports cars. It adds weight to the suspension (right where you DON'T want it), complexity (cost) for some rather dubious benefits. It sounds great on paper though.....

Hospitalizations Up For the Terminally Ill
Despite efforts to reduce aggressive and expensive care for the terminally ill, a greater percentage of dying Medicare patients underwent hospitalization in their last 90 days—not fewer—and more patients spent time in intensive care units in their last month in 2009 than in 2000, says a surprising report.
The study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, found that the percentage of patients hospitalized in their last 90 days of life went from 62.9% in 2000 to 69.3% in 2009. And the percentage of patients who spent time in the intensive care unit in their last 30 days went from 24.3% to 29.2%.
Joan Teno, MD, lead author of the report and a health policy and practice professor at Brown University in RI, says such patterns of more aggressive care "is really only ethically defensible if that's what the patient wanted," and she doubts that more patients are wanting that level of intensity.
Rather, she says, her own research and that of others, shows that patients and their families are not getting the opportunity to make such choices.
Her report did find that a larger percentage of patients are dying at home, and far fewer are dying in acute care hospitals. But more patients are being moved around from one care setting to another in the last 90 days of life as well as in the last three.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

Thanks for this. In my husband's last month, we were in and out of the emergency room several times simply because we did not know enough to interpret his symptoms. Seems as if people on hotlines are too timid to say, "Just stay home. This is what the end stage is like." Much, much more honesty would have helped a lot, from doctors on down the line.

A fight between two men escalated when one struck the other with a broomstick in a Morristown bank parking lot early Sunday morning, police said.
Michael Godoy, 21, of Morton Street, was arrested and charged Nov. 11 with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes, unlawful possession of a weapon and possession of drug paraphernalia shortly after 2 a.m.
Andrew Stetzel, 22, of Lafayette Township, was issued a summons for simple assault.
According to a police report filed by Officer Joseph Heuneman, officers were patrolling the downtown area during closing time when an individual approached him saying several men were about to jump someone in the Wells Fargo parking lot.
When he arrived, Heuneman said he saw about 10 men gathered as Stetzel ran toward Godoy and punched him with a closed fist, causing Godoy to fall to the ground, according to the report.
Heuneman called for backup and then grabbed hold of the shirt of Stetzel, who struggled to break free at first but ultimately calmed down, according to the report. The officer then noticed Stetzel had a 1-inch cut on his forehead and blood was dripping down his face. Stetzel said Godoy had attacked him first, with a broomstick, which another man then tossed at Heuneman's feet, according to the report.
The officer then asked Godoy why he had attacked Stetzel.
"I have no idea," Stetzel said, and he remained uncooperative, according to the report.
A witness at the scene told officers Godoy had "blind-sided" Stetzel by hitting him in the face with the broomstick, according to the report. Stetzel said he felt he was defending himself by hitting Godoy. Stetzel and Godoy were intoxicated, which made getting additional details difficult, the officer noted in the report.
Officer Anthony O'Brien told Heuneman that Godoy admitted to attacking Stetzel with the broomstick because it was "five on one," according to the report.
During processing, police also found on Godoy a "one-hitter" style pipe, commonly used for smoking marijuana, which was confiscated, the report stated.
Godoy was transported to the Morris County Correctional Facility in lieu of $5,000 bail. Stetzel was served his summons and released into the care of Morristown Medical Center for treatment.

Even in life it was hard to define Tadeusz Kantor, a master of both performance and visual arts, who blurred the line between genres. Poet, painter, set designer and actor, he delighted and confounded his audiences with his one-man avant-garde extravaganzas. The venue for his performances was the Cricot 2 Theatre - defunct since his death in 1990.

Correction regarding Eric Brende's book title in your article. The proper title is: "BETTER Off: Flipping the Switch on Technology."
I haven't read it but plan on doing so as soon as possible. Saw his interview on "Faith and Culture" program on EWTN television network. Amazing!!!
KathySt. Louis
I came across this article on Eric's soap while looking for information on hermann, mo.I have visisted Hermann from Texas on several occasions and even once considered relocating there but the house I wanted to purchase on second street fell through.On oneof my visits, I met Eric who was making soap with his wife and children at their home. He also provided transportation service around town on his three wheel cycle people carrier. I had forgotten Eric's name until reading this article. I am certain it is the same guy who peddled me around town and brought me to his house to meet his family who were busy making soap as we came in the house!Thanks,Rob

Bluefield Daily Telegraph

Those of us in the newspaper business live a pretty hectic and demanding life. In fact a day at work can often become a marathon session when breaking news occurs. It's just the nature of the industry and something that we actually get excited about. Because in our line of work a busy news day is almost always better than a slow news day.
But there are still slow news day, and those rare occasions when I might actually leave the office and go home bored. When this happens, I will normally resist the temptation to aimlessly spend hours upon hours on Facebook or Twitter, or even the Playstation 3 for that matter. Now that the evenings are getting darker much earlier, I instead attempt to tackle a much larger frontier — those 150 plus channels I'm paying a small fortune for each month courtesy of the local cable company. And some of those channels are actually in high definition, but most of them unfortunately aren't.
I normally start with CNN or Fox News — both of which are not in high definition, and perhaps that is for the best. As an independent minded voter and a journalist who is expected to be fair and impartial in his reporting, I like to watch a little bit of both so that I can be fully educated about the arguments being made on both the left and the right. Of course both of the cable news networks can be downright annoying at times as they try to force their liberal and conservative viewpoints upon unsuspecting viewers. Whatever happened to just reporting the news? And by the time Bill O'Reilly and Anderson Cooper roll around, it is normally time for me to turn the channel. The truth of the matter is I don't particularly care for either of these two men.
So when I start flipping through the many channels I normally stumble upon at least one doomsday special or a show about the predictions of Nostradamus, a reputed seer who died in 1566. These always entertaining specials come to us from our good friends at the History Channel, who nowadays seem more interested in the future than the past. Go figure.
As these shows try to predict the future, I can't tell you how many times I've seen the same so-called experts on the History Channel talking about climate change, and how the seasons are now blending together. In addition to apparently predicting the rise of the Third Reich and Adolph Hitler (or "Hisler" as Nostradamus supposedly called him), it seems he also foresaw so many years ago the looming global warming disaster that scientists and politicians are now warning us about, or so the story goes according to the History Channel. And maybe the History Channel is right on this issue. The seasons are indeed starting to blend together. And you won't find a better example of this than at local department stores. Walk into just about any store right now and you will see Halloween decorates in one aisle and Christmas decorations in the next. Santa Claus standing right next to a giant witch. It is truly a strange paradox, and a sign of the seasons being out of whack. At this rate we can probably expect to see the Easter Bunny in local stores before Thanksgiving.
Most of the doomsday specials in question are repeats. In fact, I think that particular series was canceled after the whole Mayan calendar thing proved to be a dud last year. Just like the once dreaded Y2K glitch from more than 13 years ago failed to materialize. In fact, I bet the old Atari 600xL computer would still work if I fired it up today.
So I turn the channel again. But all hope is not lost in the vast wasteland known as cable television. That's because on any given night you can normally find a football game on the tube — and those are normally in high definition. That's a good thing. Most of the college games are on ESPN while the majority of the big NFL games are found on the networks. And a good football game will beat CNN, Fox News and the History Channel on any given day of the week.
Before moving into the country with the deer and the raccoons, I lived in the city and had what is commonly referred to as the "poor man's" cable package. It was just the basic networks, CSPAN and the QVC network. And of course most men just love the QVC network. So I have basically gone from no channels to more channels than I have time to watch. And many that I have no real desire to watch. A dozen or so more of those channels are nothing but music.
The point of this column you might ask? After flipping through countless channels and finding nothing worth watching, sometimes it's better just to pick up the morning newspaper, and finish reading those stories you may have missed earlier in the day. I do it all the time.
