This freezer is wonderful. Love the size. Fits perfectly in our small apartment. Love how I can move the small wired shelf around as well. My husband fishes, so I am able to fill his huge cooler full of ice very quickly while he's at work and have it ready when he comes home!
Northfield, MN
I wanted to write this review to bring down the rating so other people won't buy this model and lose expensive food when it does! Green light is on letting us know that it's supposed to be working, but lo & behold, everything inside has melted & thawed! What a mess. my last small kenmore freezer lasted for over 20 years so I thought I could trust the Kenmore name. Guess I shouldn't have assumed that!
I brought this freezer in 2011 and after 2 3/4 not ever 3 year the compressor just quit and it cost more to fix it ( by Sears) then it cost .. please if you see this freezer in the store run ... it's not worth the time or money

I just replaced this freezer as the compressor died after just short of three years. I replaced it with the 8.8 cubic freezer which has better reviews. I had the guy look up the date of purchase and it was on 6/14/11, and I'm now replacing it on 6/1/14. No point in the doing the two year service agreement. You won't have a single problem until you open it one day and items are thawing. I would avoid this product.

Alan you should also mention that good ideas are a dime a dozen. Great ideas are a dollar each. And incredible ideas are 10 dollars each.
My point is, it's what you do with your idea, not just making a suggestion and sitting back to collect royalties. You would be surprised on how many people think like that.
Great article, loved it!
I still dont get it why did crocs become so popular? They are awful.
What about inventing a ´´device´´ that will warn you when you are about to make a mistake, or doing something really stupid?
Where is James Dyson cited, and, more to the point, where are the mentions of the many inventors who had their ideas and prototypes purloined? Around the entire Earth, not just in a navel-gazing USA, how many trillions in royalties are owed Nicolai Tesla, if only symbolically?
Has anyone noticed that most of those 10 were innovations from decades ago? Innovations made more by individuals or by then-small companies, and less by big corporations? Who will be the new progenitors of beneficial ideas and things? Not a Sony, nor an Apple, nor by any of their robber-baron ilk.
Such truly amazing ideas that no one can ever imagine. absolutely brilliant.

Associated Press
Mayor Jim Manilla says Morgantown needs more police officers and firefighters to deal with street fires and other incidents following West Virginia University sports events, and the students should help pay the cost of hiring them.
Manilla tells media outlets that he is considering asking the university to assess a $20 student impact fee for each WVU student each semester. The fee would generate about $1.2 million in revenue for the city annually.
"This is public safety," he said. "They (WVU) need to pay their fair share."
About 40 street and trash container fires were set Saturday night and Sunday morning following WVU's 48-45 win over Texas. Five people were charged with malicious burning, the Morgantown Fire Department said.
University spokesman John Bolt said four of those charged are students who will face disciplinary procedures.
Police officers wearing riot gear used pepper spray and CS gas to disperse an unruly crowd of about 1,000 people who gathered in the streets in the student-dominated Sunnyside area. Several officers suffered minor injuries when they were hit with bottles, rocks or other objects thrown by revelers, the Morgantown Police Department said.
Ten people were arrested on charges ranging from battery on an officer to alcohol-related offenses.
In his annual State of the University address Monday afternoon, President Jim Clements vowed to take "a very hard line" on what he called "disgraceful and shameful behavior."
"I am angry and I am frustrated at the behavior of some of our students and others after the game," he said. "The worst of the post-game behavior Saturday night was unacceptable, dangerous and inexcusable. We cannot and will not tolerate it."
The WVU Office of Student Affairs had either suspended or expelled 40 students before this weekend, he said.
University officials plan to review videotapes and any student identified as breaking the law will face civil and school penalties, which could include expulsion, said Ken Gray, WVU vice president of student affairs.
"It's unfortunate that despite the coordinated efforts of the university — including students, law enforcement and the administration, and City of Morgantown officials — there remain a few individuals who choose to celebrate West Virginia University athletic successes unsafely and inappropriately," Gray said in a prepared statement.
"We will continue to seek ways to stop this kind of behavior including through education, communication and cooperation," he said.
On Sept. 30, a street fire that was set following the West Virginia-Baylor game destroyed three vehicles and damaged a house.
"Whatever good has been done in the past has been all wiped out," Manilla said. "We're getting close to an injury or loss of life.
"I know we need more police officers," he said. "It's pretty obvious at this point."
Manilla planned to meet with police and fire officials and the city manager this week to discuss the incidents.

WARNER ROBINS -- ESPN has a new play-by-play announcer in the booth for the Little League Baseball Southeastern Regional Tournament.
Joe Davis will make his debut at the stadium replacing Clay Matvick, who has called the past four tournaments.
This will be Davis first time announcing a Little League game.
He will be joined by Chris Singleton, who returns for his fifth year of broadcasting the Southeastern Regional in Warner Robins.
When most people think of Little League, they dont think of this. It is really impressive, Davis said of the stadium.
Although he played baseball and football in high school, Davis said the facilities werent close to what Little League Southeast Park has.
It certainly looks like a special place, he said.
Returning as producer is Matt Leach, who said he was excited to be back in town to get a second chance at doing some things better.
He said he wanted to be prepared for the game to last four innings or four hours.
Every second counts in broadcast, Leach said.
There will also not be a Georgia team in the championship game for the first time since the tournament moved to Warner Robins.
For Leach, the crowds are just a bonus.
Big crowds are nice, but the kids are the field are what is important, Leach said. The cameras will be focused on the effort they are putting forth and the fun they are having.
The cameras were rolling Tuesday as it took South Carolina manager Chris Wilder a few times to get the wording right for the introductions of the team.
Northwood Little League is representing South Carolina.
After the first four takes, I was fine, said Wilder with a smile.
Wilder said he isnt concerned about his teams response to the high pressure of being on national television.
Weve responded well to big crowds, Wilder said.
South Carolinas first game was against Columbus Northern Little League of Georgia, a game that drew a few hundred fans last Friday.
Wilder said the team had to beat Irmo Little League twice in South Carolinas state championship game to come to Warner Robins, and the team bounced back from a 4-0 deficit against Virginia to come within a run of tying, losing 4-3 in pool play.
They are a very resilient team. They have jelled well together, he said.
The semifinal games will be broadcast live Wednesday on ESPN2 with Florida taking on Tennessee at 2 p.m. and Virginia meeting South Carolina at 6 p.m. at Little League Southeast Park.
The championship game is at 7 p.m. on Friday and will be televised by ESPN.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- The Sabres nixed their morning skate (which fortunately is a regular happening in 80-degree beach weather). Craig Rivet and Patrick Kaleta were the only players headed to the rink, so they won't play tonight.
Here's a quick look at NHL news involving Kaleta, the Sabres and others:
*Tom Kaleta, the father of the Buffalo Sabres right winger, said Wednesday their charitable organization has officially received funding to build a multisport complex in Springville. The Kaletas, who run the HITS Foundation, plan to break ground on the project in April and hope to have it completed in August.
*The Sabres are experiencing a goal-scoring race. Normally the exclusive domain of Thomas Vanek, who has led the team in goals each of the previous four seasons, the team leader board now has two names.
Vanek is on top with 21 goals after scoring twice Tuesday in Tampa Bay. Drew Stafford is right behind at 20, courtesy of his third hat trick of the season during the 7-4 victory over the Lightning. If they continue to push each other, they could push the Sabres into the playoffs. Buffalo is just four points behind eighth-place Carolina with two games (and four possible points) in hand heading into tonight's game against at Florida.
*My buddy George Richards of the Miami Herald took time out of our soda drinking last night to do a quick update on the Panthers, who sent streaky winger Michael Frolk to Chicago on Wednesday, getting RW Jack Skille, RW Hugh Jessiman and C David Pacan back. Florida also threw in goalie Alexander Salak (loaned to Sweden).
''We need more physical players up front,'' assistant GM Mike Santos said. ''Skille is hard to play against.''
*Toronto sent defenseman Francois Beauchemin to the Ducks for forward Joffrey Lupul, defensive prospect Jake Gardiner and a conditional 2013 fourth-round pick.
*Fourteen goals. Six fights. Just another wild night between the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Brett Favre is singing the praises of rookie receiver James Jones.
He says Jones has a lot of potential and reminds him of former Packers standout Sterling Sharpe.
Jones, a third-round draft pick from San Jose State, is off to a solid start in training camp.
He had only one dropped pass after seven practices.
Jones says he watched Sharpe growing up.
He says it's an honor to be compared to such a great receiver.

Road to Sochi: Team Oakley Athlete of the Week – Mikaela Shiffrin
As many regions brace for the coming of winter, a handful of the world's elite athletes prepare to compete on sports' most prestigious global stage. The 2014 Winter Olympics are upon us and the remote region of Sochi, Russia is set to host the twenty-second edition of the biggest winter sporting event in the world. As the days until the Opening Ceremony count down, we invite you to get to know some of the most passionate, fearless, determined and awe inspiring athletes, some of whom you will undoubtedly see on the podium come February. Each of these athletes strive to compete in Sochi as representatives of their home nations, but are bound together, despite national boundaries, as members of another exclusive team: Team Oakley.
This week's Team Oakley Athlete of the Week is Mikaela Shiffrin. It is hard to adequately describe the young 18-year-old's meteoric rise to the top of the alpine ski world. Shiffrin is being billed as the next big thing in American ski racing and so far she has lived up to that name, and them some. As a teenager, Shiffrin has made a career of winning some of her sport's biggest prizes, all while studying for high school before and after each day of racing.
So far the Colorado native has wracked up five World Cup victories since her debut at the young age of 15. She won her first World Cup event in December of 2012 at the age of 17, making her the second youngest American to win an Audi FIS Alpine World Cup event. Her biggest accomplishments would come in 2013 when she won both the slalom World Championship and overall season title.
Shiffrin has shown no signs of slowing down before the upcoming 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. She already secured victory at the opening slalom World Cup event of the season in Levi, Finland and looks to build on that confidence going into Russia. Get to know the young American phenom in her own words:
What does it mean/would it mean to you to be an Olympian, representing your country this winter in Sochi?
Representing the USA on a world wide stage at the Olympics would be incredible. It's such an empowering feeling, to know that I have an amazing support system behind me— my family, friends, sponsors—all people who believe in me. Going to the Olympics with the entire USA as a support system would be so amazing, I can't really put in into words. I hope to do my country proud, not just with results, but by representing the USA in a way that inspires others to pursue their dreams too.
At what point did you set your sights on becoming an Olympian? When did you realize that goal was realistic?
I started dreaming the "Olympic dream" about the same time that I realized it was a realistic goal. It was around 2-3 years ago when I had my first world cup start, when I realized that I was already starting on the path of chasing my world cup dreams. That's when I started to think that the Olympics might be in my future after all, maybe even Sochi if I kept improving. Like everyone else, I loved watching the Olympics, but I was careful not to base my entire ski racing dream around competing at the Olympics because there are so many other goals that I could set and be proud of accomplishing. Once I knew the Olympics were within my reach, I set the goal to be an Olympian.
What is your favorite historic Olympic moment?
The most memorable Olympic moment for me was in Salt Lake City when Bode [Miller] came back from being 4 seconds behind in the Combined, and made up all 4 seconds in one spectacular run of slalom. He ended up with a silver, and then went on to win silver in the Giant Slalom as well. I wasn't really old enough to remember watching this in 2002 when it actually happened, but one of my favorite movies is his documentary, Flying Downhill, which recaps his Salt Lake City Olympics. That was when I first realized how inspiring the Olympics are.
You've risen to the top of your sport at a very young age, all while going through school and growing up basically on the road. Describe how you balance all of these responsibilities all while maintaining success in your sport?
I think those responsibilities played a huge roll in how I got to this point. If I had dropped out of school to pursue only ski racing, I would have taken for granted that I had the opportunities and great coaching and support to succeed as a ski racer. Having to juggle school and travel and racing against girls who are 10 years older than I am left me without a sense of security in this sport. I never felt comfortable being complacent, because as soon as I felt that I was "good enough" I knew everyone would pass by me because they all had more time to focus on conditioning and skiing. Knowing that made me work harder in school and on the hill because I always felt like I was playing catch up, when maybe I was actually getting ahead. I still have that mentality that at any moment, if I become complacent, I might be left in the dust, so I have to keep charging ahead and stay on my toes, in school and skiing and anything else that life throws at me.
You've become quite the role model for many young girls within and outside of your sport. What does that mean to you and what type of example do you try and set, on and off the slopes?
It's pretty incredible to be a role model for other kids, because I was in their position just 3 years ago. In fact, I'm still in their position in a lot of ways! I have a lot of role models, quite a few are now my competitors on the world cup circuit. I'm really trying to just stick to my own path and keep charging forward, and I hope that I inspire other athletes to enjoy that slow, sometimes frustrating, process of improving; to find passion in making 60 perfect and powerful turns in a row, not just winning.

SHAUN STANLEY/Durango Herald
Colorado is living in the past when it comes to death investigation.
It's not quite the Middle Ages, but the state's coroner system is "archaic," said Dr. Mike Dobersen, a forensic pathologist who is coroner in Arapahoe County.
"This state really needs to step up its death-investigation system," he said. "It has been around for a long time. The reason that it persists is because the coroners, in a lot of cases, are very politically connected."
The outdated nature of the system became apparent recently in Southwest Colorado. Dr. Carol Huser, who served as La Plata County coroner for nearly 10 years, retired Friday, leaving residents without a full-time forensic pathologist.
"The people of this area have been extremely lucky to have somebody as qualified as her for so long," said 6th Judicial District Attorney Todd Risberg. "She's been a huge help to all law enforcement in the area."
Coroners investigate and determine cause of death in a variety of situations, including when the death is unnatural, unintended, unexpected, violent, suspicious or when the death occurs on the job or in jail custody.
In Colorado, most counties elect a coroner. The only job requirements: They must be 18 or older, eligible to vote, have lived in the county for at least one year and can't have any felony convictions.
No medical training is required, which means nearly anyone can serve as coroner, from lawyers to funeral home directors.
"Every time I give a talk and tell people that, I wish I could take a picture of the horrified looks on their faces," Dobersen said.
Coroners decide when an autopsy is necessary and certify the manner of death, whether it's natural or homicide. But forensic pathologists perform autopsies, and several forensic pathologists who also serve as coroners in the state say they are the experts who should have the power to determine when an autopsy is needed and how to certify the cause of death.
Death investigations shouldn't be run by someone who is elected by popular vote, Dobersen said. Rather, they "should be run by somebody who is qualified and has the proper training."
He added: "The problem is these are lay people with very little medical training that are investigating deaths and making medical decisions with no medical backgrounds."
Colorado is one of about 10 states with a coroner system. The others have moved to a medical-examiner system, in which doctors have the final say about cause of death.
Weighing a professional opinion
Most coroners in Colorado are well-intended and do a fine job at death investigations, said Dr. Robert Kurtzman, a forensic pathologist who lives in Grand Junction and plans to commute to La Plata County once a week to perform autopsies in Huser's absence.
But their lack of formal medical training means certain details can go overlooked when determining whether to perform an autopsy, he said.
"Our training really is heavily weighted toward interpretation of injuries," Kurtzman said. "If you look at the pattern of an injury and the distribution of an injury, that equates to the mechanism by which the injury was sustained. And you really have to look at all injuries carefully to determine whether they're consistent with the reported circumstances or inconsistent with the reported circumstances."
Forensic pathologists are a bit leery working for elected coroners with less medical training, Huser said.
A medical examiner system more accurately portrays the professional field of medicine, she said. If someone has a bellyache, a surgeon examines the patient to determine whether an appendix needs to be removed, not an office assistant, she said.
"It's the professionals who make the decisions, who perform the examinations and tests, who interpret the results, who decide on and take the appropriate actions," she said.
As the only forensic pathologist living in Southwest Colorado, Huser was a logical choice for voters in La Plata County. There are only about 500 board-certified forensic pathologists in the nation and fewer than 20 in Colorado.
Because she is leaving midway through her term, county commissioners selected someone to fill the remainder of her term. They received several applications, including one from a forensic pathologist in West Virginia, but state law requires coroners to live in the community they serve for one year.
"No practitioner of any profession would move someplace and live there for a year hoping they might, after a year's residence, get a job," Huser said.
Commissioners instead selected Jann Smith, who has served as chief deputy coroner for 5˝ years but has no medical degree.
"She has worked hard, she deals extremely well with the bereaved and other agencies, and I think she'll do a fine job," Huser said.
Tricky geography
Medical examiner systems can take on many different forms. Some states, including New Mexico, have a statewide medical examiner's office that oversee all death investigations and perform all autopsies. Others are a hybrid system, in which some counties have medical examiners and others have coroners.
Some states have drawn districts, for example, along judicial boundaries, with a forensic pathologist assigned to each district.
About half the states retain coroners in some form, said Dr. Randy Hanzlick, a board-certified forensic pathologist in Atlanta who has written several articles about death-investigation systems and the conversion of coroner systems to medical examiner systems.
"Just about any permutation that you can think of exists," he said.
Even in Colorado, some communities have modified the coroner system to resemble a medical examiner system, including Denver.
"It's a travesty for a big metropolitan area to be run (as a coroner system)," said Amy Martin, chief medical examiner in Denver. "For a small, rural county, maybe that is the best way. But for a metropolitan area, that is the Dark Ages."
Like other forensic pathologists interviewed for this story, Martin said the requirements to serve as coroner are too minimal.
"It's just horrific when you consider what the coroner has to do," she said.
Newly elected coroners receive a crash course about their duties, but "to expect someone with just 40 hours of education to suddenly have the necessary skills to pronounce and certify death in some very complex cases is somewhat unreasonable, but that's exactly what we have," Martin said.
Colorado is challenging because of its geography, which can make it difficult to transport bodies from rural communities – for example Durango to Denver, a six-hour drive – to be autopsied.
That is why Dobersen advocates a regional medical examiner system, perhaps divided along judicial districts or other boundaries, with a forensic pathologist in each district.
The state would pick up the tab instead of counties, he said.
"This is where it gets tricky because, obviously, nobody wants to pay for anything anymore," Dobersen said.
At what cost?
Forensic pathologists are divided about whether it would cost more to switch to a medical examiner system.
The answer depends largely on the makeup of the system, including the number of districts, employees and offices.
Huser said the state is overpaying for death investigations under a coroner system.
Colorado taxpayers spend $18 million to $20 million per year on death investigations, Kurtzman said. That is equal to about $3.50 per resident in the state per death. The national average is close to $2, he said.
In addition, Colorado taxpayers pay vastly different amounts depending on which county they live in. Residents pay $2.72 per autopsy per capita in Arapahoe County compared with $34.32 per autopsy per capita in Mineral County, based on an independent study done from April 2010 to July 2011. An autopsy costs between $725 and $2,000, depending on how much individual forensic pathologists charge. (Huser charged the lowest rate in the state.)
The disproportion is largely a result of population base. Residents in rural counties that have to hire a contract forensic pathologist are charged at a higher rate, she said.
"I think people in the rural counties would be (ticked) off to learn they are paying $5, $10, $30 a head for a service some other county people are paying $2 for," Huser said.
Martin agreed the county coroner system is more expensive and less effective.
Many forensic pathologists provide fee for service to communities that don't have a pathologist employed by the county, she said. The fees can vary greatly, and if a small county has a busy year, it can bust the budget, she said. A medical examiner system has fixed costs, and it doesn't matter as much how many autopsies are done, she said.
"There's a lot of self-interest in keeping the system the way it is," Martin said. "I'm not going to elaborate more than that."
Dr. Patrick Allen, president of the Colorado Coroners Association, disagrees that the coroner system should go.
Rural communities are unlikely to have a forensic pathologist because there is not enough workload, said Allen, who is a forensic pathologist and coroner for Larimer County. Elected coroners serve a vital role in overseeing death investigations and determining whether autopsies need to be done, he said.
For the most part, the state's elected coroners do a good job, he said.
"Whether we have a coroner system or a medical examiner system in the state, right now, the problem that Durango and Southwest Colorado is facing is going to be the same once Dr. Huser leaves. The same void occurs," he said.
Legislation introduced
To switch to a medical examiner system would require a change to the state's constitution.
Rep. Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora, introduced legislation last year to create a task force to study the state's coroner system and recommend changes. The proposal, which was opposed by the Colorado Coroners Association, died in committee.
"It was our feeling that the outcome of that committee was predetermined," Allen said. "I think it's been shown that the coroner system is going to be cheaper than a medical examiner system at the state level."
Fields said she plans to reintroduce her legislation next year.
"I wonder if our current structure is adequate for our state," she said. "We need to look at rural areas; we need to look at metropolitan areas. It has to be something that works well for the entire state. We're just doing some research right now to determine what might be a best practice that we could implement."
In June 2005, Fields' 23-year-old son was shot and killed at an intersection in Aurora.
"I understand the role of the coroner," she said. "Whenever there's a death investigation, the coroner plays a critical role in solving the merits of that murder."
When someone needs a doctor, they insist on a specialist who knows every detail of the human body, Dobersen said.
"But when someone dies, and there are legal implications, we're not very cognizant about entrusting our loved one to someone who is medically qualified," he said.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Yahoo's board of directors has approved a $1.1-billion cash acquisition of blogging site Tumblr.
A deal could be announced as soon as Monday, the Wall Street Journal reported Sunday.
It's the biggest -- and riskiest -- deal yet for Yahoo Chief Executive Marissa Mayer, who is trying to make pioneering Internet company relevant to younger generations who have gravitated to other services and to mobile devices.

The '10 Percent Gay' Myth Is Dead – Just 1.6 Percent of U.S. Adults Identify as Gay or Lesbian, and .7 Percent as Bisexual, Major Federal Survey FindsJuly 24th, 2014
New government data show homosexuality is far less common than most LGBT activists claimed for decades, and a fraction of what most Americans believe
Part One
By Peter LaBarbera, AFTAH Special Report
The first-ever major U.S. Government survey to present "nationally representative data on sexual orientation" finds that only 1.6 percent of Americans identify as "gay" or "lesbian," while .7 percent identify as "bisexual." This is about considerably less than the much-ballyhooed, decades-old LGBT claim that 10 percent of society is "gay."
Almost 98 percent of the 35,557 survey respondents identified themselves as "straight" or "not gay," according to the survey by the federal National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). It also found significant health and behavior disparities between heterosexuals and self-described gays, lesbians and bisexuals. For example, the latter were much more likely to be heavy drinkers than straights.
So much for '10 percent'
The 2.3 percent gay-lesbian-bisexual figure is far below the "10 percent gay" number that has been advanced for decades by homosexual activists and their allies—dating back to the discredited sex research of Alfred Kinsey, who vastly over-sampled sexual adventurers and deviants (including criminals). The "10 Percent" ploy suggested homosexuality was far more common—and hence "normal"–than it actually was. Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen, homosexual authors of the influential 1989 book After the Ball: How America Will Conquer Its Fear & Hatred of Gays in 90s (and relying on Kinsey's fraudulent estimates), demonstrate how the myth was used for PR purposes:
Here I call it a myth, but the defiance with which homosexual activists like Kirk and Madsen so aggressively promulgated their "10 percent gay" factoid suggests that it could more aptly be called a lie, perhaps a useful political lie—which is to say, propaganda. (Another LGBT activist distortion is the oft-repeated claim that homosexuals, and now transgenders, are "born that way" despite mountains of evidence to the contrary.)
For example, Kevin Jennings, the founder of GLSEN, the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network, and a former Obama Department of Education appointee, titled one of his books, "One Teacher in Ten" (see graphic above)—which is far more compelling, from a "gay" activist perspective, than "One Teacher in 45."
Dr. Michael Brown: Obama's LGBT Executive Order Means that 'Sexual Rights Trump Religious Rights'July 22nd, 2014
The following is excerpted from an online appeal by pro-family author and advocate, Dr. Michael Brown to President Obama, in response to Obama signing an Executive Order designed to advance "gay rights"–and which is bereft of a strong religious exemptions as requested by a coalition of religious leaders. Dr. Brown–whose book A Queer Thing Happened to America is essential reading for those hoping to understand the far-reaching LGBT agenda–will be the keynote speaker at AFTAH's banquet October 25th at Christian Liberty Academy in Arlington Heights, Illinois. This article first appeared in Charisma magazine.
President Obama, You Have Crossed a Dangerous, Unprecedented Line
9:00AM EDT, 7/22/2014 Michael Brown, Charisma, In the Line of Fire
President Barack Obama on Monday signed an executive order banning "discrimination" by federal contractors against LGBT people, allowing for no religious exemptions of any kind.
Dear Mr. President,
I write to you today as a concerned citizen of our great nation, standing as a witness against your historic actions on the morning of July 21, 2014, actions which I hope you will one day repudiate with deep remorse and regret.
I am referring, of course, to your signing an executive order Monday banning "discrimination" by federal contractors against LGBT people, allowing for no religious exemptions of any kind.
This was an outrageous act of discrimination against religion in the name of anti-discrimination—an act of bullying people of faith in the name of the prevention of bullying.
How can you, as a man who professes to be a person of faith and a follower of Jesus, throw religious Americans—in particular Christians—under the bus?
How can you attempt to force Christians, Jews, Muslims and others to violate fundamental aspects of their moral codes in order to appease a small but powerful special interest group, one that is not, in fact, suffering daily economic hardship by being fired from their jobs because of their sexual orientation or expression?
Have you forgotten entirely that our nation was founded on the concept of religious freedom?
Barber: Christians Will Engage in Civil Disobedience against Unjust 'Sexual Orientation' Non-Discrimination LawsJuly 22nd, 2014
I have two observations about this excellent piece by my friend, Barbwire.com founder, and AFTAH Board Member Matt Barber: 1) I wish all Christians could possess Matt's resolve in defending Truth; and 2) only a tiny minority of believers understand what is coming down the pike, persecution-wise, from the combination of treating homosexuality as a "civil right" and the court-imposed legalization of "gay marriage." This is Big Government imposing immorality on us all, and we must fight it with great vigilance. – Peter LaBarbera, AFTAH.org
The Coming Christian Revolt
By Matt Barber, July 21, 2014
From behind a smoking sniper rifle high atop his ivory tower peers the secular "progressive." He surveys his many victims, strewn across the American landscape below and mockingly sneers, "War on Christianity? What war on Christianity?"
He then resumes shooting, all the while insisting that those uncooperative Christians who scatter for cover behind the Word of God and the U.S. Constitution somehow suffer from a "persecution complex" (the baker, the photographer, the florist, the innkeeper, the Christian school administrator, etc.).
Though there are many, it is plain for all to see that abortion and "sexual liberation" remain the two principal theaters in the ongoing culture war battlefront.
To fully advance the causes of radical feminism, abortion-on-demand, unfettered sexual license, gay marriage and the like, the pagan left must do away with religious free exercise altogether. Under the guise of "anti-discrimination," Christians today face discrimination at unprecedented levels.
Let's see if we can make this abundantly clear. Christians, true Christians—regenerate, Bible-believing Christians who strive their level best to maintain fidelity to the word of God and honor His commands—will not—indeed cannot—participate in, approve of, facilitate or encourage certain behaviors deemed by the Holy Scriptures to be immoral or sinful.
Perkins, FRC Slam Senate 'Anti-Hobby Lobby' BillJuly 16th, 2014
We at Americans For Truth certainly concur with Tony Perkins: the Democrats are playing a dangerous game by pandering to special interest groups (in this case radical feminists and homosexual activists) who seek to trample over Americans' religious liberty and freedom of conscience. – Peter LaBarbera, AFTAH
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 16, 2014
Conscience Crushing Bill Demonstrates Senate Democrats' Wrong Priorities
July 16, 2014
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Family Research Council (FRC) urged the U.S. Senate to reject legislation proposed by Senate Democrats that would overturn the U.S. Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby/Conestoga Wood ruling. The decision upheld religious liberty and protected the conscience rights of those family businesses that object to being forced to pay for drugs that have the potential to kill an unborn child.
Family Research Council President Tony Perkins made the following comments:
Slippery Slope: Austrailian Judge Says Incest May No Longer Be a Taboo, Citing Acceptance of HomosexualityJuly 11th, 2014
"If this was the 1950s…they would say it's unnatural for a man to be interested in another man or a man being interested in a boy," judge says
The slippery slope of sexual perversion and sin continues to yield stunning departures from healthy, Judeo-Christian morality. The following excerpt appeared in the U.K. Daily Telegraph July 10, 2014:
A judge in Australia has been criticised after saying incest may no longer be a taboo and that the community may now accept consensual sex between adult siblings.
Judge Garry Neilson, from the district court in the state of New South Wales, likened incest to homosexuality, which was once regarded as criminal and "unnatural" but is now widely accepted.
He said incest was now only a crime because it may lead to abnormalities in offspring but this rationale was increasingly irrelevant because of the availability of contraception and abortion.
"A jury might find nothing untoward in the advance of a brother towards his sister once she had sexually matured, had sexual relationships with other men and was now 'available,' not having [a] sexual partner," the judge said.
"If this was the 1950s and you had a jury of 12 men there, which is what you'd invariably have, they would say it's unnatural for a man to be interested in another man or a man being interested in a boy. Those things have gone."
Judge Neilson made the comments during the trial of a brother charged with raping his younger sister. The man has pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting his sister when she was 10 or 11 years old in 1973 or 1974 but has pleaded not guilty to charges relating to sex they had in 1981, when she was 18 and he was 26.
"By that stage they are both mature adults," the judge said.
"The complainant has been sexually awoken, shall we say, by having two relationships with men and she had become 'free' when the second relationship broke down. The only thing that might change that is the fact that they were a brother and sister but we've come a long way from the 1950s – when the position of the English Common Law was that sex outside marriage was not lawful." …[continued]

AFTAH Open Letter to Michael SamJuly 9th, 2014
The following open letter to Michael Sam–who has gained fame as the first openly homosexual NFL draftee–is adapted from a printed version written and distributed by AFTAH Board Member John McCartney, who has devoted many years to the critical study of homosexuality. I recommend reading this CDC report on HIV and Black MSM (men who have sex with men)–though it is tinged with politically-correct bias–for more background on this aspect of HIV crisis linked to homosexual behavior.–Peter LaBarbera, AFTAH
An Open Letter to Michael Sam
Michael, do we have to tell you that, especially with your current publicity, you are a role model because of your athletic prowess, but since "coming out" you are also modeling a lifestyle that the cost for those living it, has been unpublicized but appalling—as it has for society. The troubling fact is minorities are suffering most and in growing numbers. The evidence:
Secondary to the toll in pain and death among MSM is the drain on U.S. medical and financial resources; for example, anti-viral drugs, which can prolong MSM life about 20 years, cost over $24,000 per year. They do prolong life but must be taken scrupulously or the MSM becomes infectious. To treat an HIV/AIDS victim costs from $400,000 to $600,000 from infection to death. In total, the HIV/AIDS epidemic costs the country about $5 billion per year, says CDC Director Dr. Tom Freiden.
Believe it or not, no one is born "gay"; molestation, emotional deprivation, parental or peer rejection, or other traumatic factors can foster same-sex attraction–but many men and women have managed it, diminished it, or eliminated it altogether. [See these heartwarming ex-"gay" testimonies.] Many accomplished this through Reparative Therapy and counseling, despite the relentless, unwarranted condemnation of and campaign against both by self-serving "gay" activists.
What we hope for from you, Michael, is that you don't make your feelings, well-publicized as they have been, your claim to fame. Your achievements on the football field will earn you a legacy you can be proud of; your "coming out" as one celebrating homosexuality as normative can earn you only regret, as well as notoriety among millions of us.

Why Are Liberal 'Gay' Activists Freaking Out over a Contraception Case – Hobby Lobby – and Should They Be Worried?July 3rd, 2014
Court's defense of religious liberty for profit-making companies could help Christian small businessmen oppressed by "gay rights" laws
By Peter LaBarbera
It's easy to understand why hard-core feminists with their frenzied, overblown "War on Women" rhetoric would be outraged by the Supreme Court upholding Hobby Lobby's right as a Christian-run corporation not to be forced to provide abortifacients to its employees through an Obama-care mandate. (See Hillary's misinformation on the decision HERE.) But why are liberal "gay" activists freaking out over the Hobby Lobby ruling?
The case was never about denying women birth control, but you wouldn't know that from the "reporting" by liberal media and hyperventilating "progressive" bloggers. Hobby Lobby still provides 16 forms of birth control as a health benefit to its employees, but its founders—along with another Christian-owned corporation, Conestoga Wood Specialists—sued HHS over being forced to provide four contraceptive methods that could terminate a fertilized egg.
Hobby Lobby's founders, David and Barbara Green, are committed Christians who believe that life begins at conception and should be protected. To quote the Court decision, "Hobby Lobby's statement of purpose commits the Greens to '[h]onoring the Lord in all [they] do by operating the company in a manner consistent with Biblical principles.'" So strong is the Greens' commitment to Jesus Christ that they have lost countless millions of dollars in profits over the years by closing their 500 craft stores nationwide on Sunday.
Now, one would think that obtaining cheap, subsidized contraception would be low on the priority list for homosexuals, seeing that two men or two women by themselves cannot produce a child. Nevertheless, Big Gay Inc is in a tizzy over the Supreme Court decision—because Burwell vs. Hobby Lobby isn't really about contraceptives but rather whether Americans like the Greens will be free to live out their religious convictions.
Immediately after the decision, feminists flew into a rage, circulating crude versions of Justice Ginsburg's dissent and distortions about women being denied birth control by their "male bosses." Too bad most Americans will never read the actual Hobby Lobby decision—which lays out two diametrically opposed, competing visions about freedom of conscience and the role of government in these United States.
Freedom of conscience vs. Big Government
On the side of preserving and even expanding Americans' religious liberty were five judges: Alito, Kennedy, Roberts, Scalia and Thomas. In his concurring opinion Kennedy writes:
On the other side—of Big Government overriding citizens' religious beliefs, restricting conscience exemptions to federal mandates, and putting federal power behind expanded access to entitlements–were Ginsburg, Sotomayor, Breyer and Kagan. In fact, Ginsburg spends nearly two pages in her dissent [see pp. 24-25] defending the idea that Obama-care's provision of subsidies for IUD's (intrauterine devices) –one of the four contraceptives resisted by Hobby Lobby as a potential abortifacient—is a "compelling government interest."
As much as Ginsburg believes the majority's "immoderate" reading of Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) is too broad, hers is too narrow: she ends by arguing that exemptions under the RFRA should be limited to explicitly religious organizations—leaving for-profit Christian businessmen like the Greens unprotected.
The bigger government gets–in both its "social justice" mission and the amount of goodies it gives out as "entitlements"—the greater the threat to Americans' right to freely exercise their faith. This is precisely why homosexual activists are nervous about Hobby Lobby's victory. If the nation's highest court grants that even very large "closely held" family businesses like Hobby Lobby (which has more than 13,000 employees) possess a religious liberty claim under RFRA, then surely small family businesses like Elane Photography in New Mexico—owned by Jonathan and Elaine Huguenin—should have the right not to use their creative talents to serve homosexual "weddings," which violate their Christian faith.
Gary Bauer Blasts Chris Christie's 'Pitiful' Non-Response on Hobby Lobby DecisionJuly 1st, 2014
The following is taken from Gary Bauer's daily "End of Day" e-mail sent out today (July 1) through his organization, Campaign for Working Families. Gary has long been one of the best thinkers and most informative writers in the pro-life and pro-family movement. Few conservatives leaders can write like Gary (or hire someone to ghost-write like him!), so if you are conservative or pro-family, I guarantee you will not regret signing up for his daily e-newsletter HERE.
Regarding Chris Christie and the Hobby Lobby SCOTUS decision, isn't it odd that the outspoken (Republican) New Jersey governor has the audacity to play God by proclaiming that homosexuality not a sin as he signed a freedom-crushing ex-"gay" change therapy ban last year–yet he couldn't muster up the courage to praise a critical victory for religious freedom at the Supreme Court? I'm no fan of the liberal Huffington Post, and their women-as-victims spin on Hobby Lobby is obnoxious, but they got it at least half right in this piece on Christie's sudden shyness and craven bully pulpit politics. – Peter LaBarbera, AFTAH
The Day After
By Gary Bauer
The left is in full spin mode after the Supreme Court struck down Obamacare's abortion mandate. Please tell the women in your life that nothing happened yesterday that will deny them access to contraception.
The issue in this case was not contraception. Let me remind folks once again that Hobby Lobby's insurance policy covered 16 out of 20 forms of contraception. But the owners of Hobby Lobby drew the line at the last four methods, which they believed could cause abortions. And during oral arguments, the Obama Administration actually claimed that it could force companies to pay for abortions.
The issue in this case was individual religious liberty. Consider this statement from Justice Samuel Alito's majority opinion:
Yesterday's ruling was a major victory won by a disturbingly slim margin of one vote. Now comes the hard part of winning the debate, which will be difficult in no small measure because of the cowardice of establishment Republicans.

According to UNAIDS and the Kaiser Family Foundation, funding from donor countries for HIV/AIDS decreased by 10% from 2009-10, and donor contributions to the Global Fund are 20% less than pledges at the last replenishment meeting. As a result, the Fund is in the worst financial situation it has ever been.
The Global Fund is also faced with the task of implementing the consolidated transformation plan which was adopted at the Board meeting following the recommendations of the High Level Independent Review Panel earlier this year.
It is in this context that the Global Fund board has decided to effectively cancel its 11th funding round due to lack of funding. This is the first time this has happened since the Fund was established ten years ago.
Alvaro Bermejo, Executive Director of the Alliance said "These should be exciting times. The latest scientific developments are showing us that HIV treatment can have a powerful HIV prevention effect by reducing the infectiousness of HIV positive people."
"The latest UNAIDS data released this week presents an encouraging picture of new HIV infections at their lowest levels since 1997, a further 1.35 million people receiving treatment in just one year and the possibility that we could eliminate new HIV infections in children."
"In addition, the Global Fund has adopted an exciting new strategy which aims to save 10 million lives by 2016 and the international community is already embracing new tools and mechanisms to make the money work harder and more effectively. It's exactly the wrong time to have such a regressive response from donors."
The Alliance welcomes the measures that the Board has taken to respond to the findings of the High Level Panel which highlighted major failings within the Global Fund structures around risk management, fiduciary controls and governance.
"Never again must we reach a position where life-saving programmes are cancelled or delayed. The Global Fund must have more effective financial early warning systems in place to ensure they can raise the alarm bell when donor commitments are not being met."
"It also needs to increase its efficiency by tightening its governance and management systems and to restore confidence among implementing countries and partner organisations, as well as donors." said Alvaro Bermejo.
In 2010, 2.9 million people benefited from Alliance services. The scale of this work would simply not have been possible without the support of the Global Fund.
Those Alliance partners that have grants that are about to end will have to apply to the new 'transitional funding mechanism'. This mechanism aims to cover those people already on treatment, but not any scale-up.
And new applicants, such as Alliance South Sudan, who were counting on the opportunity to apply for a new grant under Round 11, will need to explore alternative funding for 2012-2014.
The Alliance is calling for:
1. Donors to step up and mobilize the resources needed to both support a new funding opportunity to be announced by the Global Fund in 2014 (as part of the mid-term replenishment activity in Summer 2012), and to provide bridge-funding to enable continuity and scale up of services until new Global Fund grants become available.
2. The Global Fund Board to continue to implement its plan to tighten management control around risk management, fiduciary controls and governance (as part of implementing the Consolidated Transformation Plan). This is essential to restore confidence in the Fund from implementing countries and partner organisations, as well as donors.

Memphis UMC To Welcome New Minister This Sunday
July 22, 2004
Memphis UMC To Welcome New Minister This Sunday
A carry-in welcome dinner is planned for Sunday, July 25th following the morning services at the Memphis United Methodist Church to officially welcome new minister, Rev. Terry Lippstreu, his wife Marsha and their daughter Jessica.
Having moved into the Memphis UMC parsonage on June 24, Rev. Lippstreu said this is just one more way the community and the UMC members continue to show their tremendous hospitality.
"We've been amazed at how friendly and welcoming the people of Memphis are," Lippstreu said. "It's been like moving back home. Memphis reminds us so much of where we grew up, only with a lot of new faces and a lot of new friends."
The Lippstreu's, originally from Nebraska, moved to Missouri in 1986, and have been Missourians ever since. Rev. Terry's roots go back to a large farm south of Kearney, NE, near the Kansas border. Marsha's hometown was North Platte, NE, where her parents owned and operated a service station. Marsha and Terry married in 1981. Their one child, Jessica, 21, was born in Grand Island, NE, but almost all of her memories are of living in Missouri.
"Like all good parents, we've always tried to describe to Jessica what life was like when we were growing up," said Marsha. "Now our 'ancient history' lessons have more meaning. All we have to do is say 'This is what it was like'."
Rev. Lippstreu grew up in a rural United Methodist church, where his mother was the pianist and organist, and still is.
"I can hardly remember a time when I did not know Jesus as my Lord and Savior," he said. "My calling from God to be a minister of the gospel came when I was still in high school, and I've been sharing my love of the Lord ever since. My constant prayer and goal is for everyone to personally know Jesus, for everyone to be in church every Sunday as part of a church family, and for everyone to continually grow in their love of God and their neighbor by living out their faith on a daily basis."
More recently, the Lippstreu's were living in Maysville, where Rev. Terry was the pastor of three United Methodist churches and overseeing a fourth.
"We loved all the people in all four of the churches, so it was hard to say goodbye," Pastor Terry said. "But the Lord had something new in mind for us,"
As he explained in his very first sermon at the Memphis UMC it was God's plan to bring him to town.
"A year ago, a Maysville UMC member bought the three of us front row seats to a Billy Ray Cyrus concert in Branson," Terry said. "Jessica bought one of his t-shirts there. It wasn't until after being appointed here as minister that we discovered that 'Back to Memphis' is printed multiple times all over the shirt. The concert we had attended a year ago was called the 'Back to Memphis Concert Tour.' God had everything all planned for us a long time ago. We just didn't know the plan yet."
The Lippstreu's are excited about all the great singers and musicians here in Memphis. They bought opening night tickets to see "My Way" performed last week by the Memphis Community Players. As a singer himself, many people in Memphis have already warned Pastor Terry that he will be a part of the production next year. He isn't fighting the idea.
"My whole family and I love music," he said. "We have been very impressed with the musical talent here and how the whole town is supportive of each other. We're glad to be a part of the great things you have going here."
As a way to add to the line-up of great music here in Memphis, Pastor Terry was able to book singer-songwriter-storyteller, Lee Domann, for a concert on Monday, July 26 at 7:00 p.m. at the Memphis United Methodist Church.
"I hope you've seen the posters around town and had a chance to read the article in last week's newspaper about Lee. Coming from Nashville, Tennessee, you can expect a great concert."
The Memphis UMC asks the community to join church members in welcoming the Lippstreu's on Sunday, July 25th at the carry-in dinner following the worship service. The church is located at 220 W. Jefferson Street in Memphis. Meat and drink will be provided for guests.

The Henryville Hornets took down visiting Irvington Prep Academy in dominant fashion on Tuesday on its way to a 68-22 victory in pool play of the season-opening Henryville Tip-Off Tournament.
"It was nice to be able to see the girls play someone else," Hornets' coach Josh Conrad said. "I feel like we had a good game effort-wise. We need to work on defensive positioning and shot selection, but overall it was a good night. We were able to play a lot of girls and we did see a lot of good things."
Sophomore guard Emily Hollis led the Hornets with 15 points along with six rebounds, four assists and four steals.
The Hornets, using an up-tempo pace, forced 19 turnovers that resulted in a Henryville layup drill. Henryville played a tight on-ball trapping defense that had Irvington pressing on offense, which led to several steals.
Along with Hollis' four steals, Henryville received five steals from Abbi Robertson and four more from sophomore guard Haley Huddleston.
With the turnovers, Henryville stayed in transition leading to the easy fast-break points.
Huddleston had 13 points, four steals, two rebounds, three assists and two blocks. Along with her five steals, Robertson finished with eight points and 11 rebounds. Henryville junior Lesha Dallas had six points and six rebounds. Also for the Hornets, Sadie Spears scored 10 points.
Irvington's Lauren Pressley was the Ravens' top performer with 10 points, eight rebounds and seven blocks. Irvington senior Mariah Brown had five points, three rebounds and three steals in the lopsided loss.
The Hornets will host Medora in their second pool game of the Tip-Off Tournament on Thursday.
Irvington 7 1 9 5—22
Henryville 23 16 11 18—68
Irvington (0-1): Lauren Pressley 10, Mariah Brown 5, Regina Gibson 4, Hali Shaffer 3.
Henryville (1-0): Emily Hollis 15, Haley Huddleston 13, Sadie Spears 10, Hannah Nunn 9, Abbi Robertson 8, Lesha Dallas 6, Emma Hendricks 4, Hannah White 3.
3-point field goals: Irvington 2 (Pressley 2); Henryville 3 (Hollis 3).
Rebounds: Irvington 21 (Pressley 8); Henryville 30 (Robertson 11).
Assists: Irvington 3 (Shaffer 2); Henryville 10 (Hollis 4).
Steals: Irvington 5 (Brown 3); Henryville 18 (Robertson 5).
Blocks: Irvington 9 (Pressley 7); Henryville 4 (Huddleston 2, Tami Burgin 2).

Plug-ins That I Use that Don't Like 2.8 (…yet)
When I upgraded to 2.8 and logged back in, my Dashboard was blown away. So, I deactivated all my plugins and checked it and it was fine again. That meant that one (or more) of my plug-ins was the culprit. So, I went through all my plug-ins (and you know I'm a plug-in addict, so it took awhile) and activated them one by one to see which one was blowing it up. Turns out there were more than one. Here's my list:
Broken Link Checker – I'm going to miss this one for awhile…it's pretty handy and shows me all the links I have on my site that don't work. (I don't knowingly put links on here that don't work, but sometimes links break when what I'm linking to changes or moves. Like Feedburner…all the links I had on previous posts broke when Feedburner moved to Google, and this handy little plug-in lets me know when that happens.)
Traffic Getting SEO Plugin Free Version – finds the best SEO plugins available for wordpress and then optimizes their settings so you don't have to. Saves you time and helps get you more traffic. This is a fairly new plugin from Jeff Johnson, so I'm not surprised it blows up with 2.8. I just hope Jeff gets on the stick and gets it playing nice again soon.
WP Ajax Edit Comments – this one I suspect you guys will miss more than I will, because as I can just hop into the dashboard to edit my typos, but hopefully it'll be fixed soon, too.
WP Auto Tagger – this is a plugin that was recommended by the Traffic Getting plugin, so I haven't been using it for very long.
XHTML Video Embed – Ok, this one makes my Dashboard blow up, but I haven't seen any other problems on the site, so I'm tolerating the blown up Dashboard so that the videos I have on the site will work properly. If you guys notice any weirdness with the videos, please contact me, ok? Thanks.
Yet Another Related Posts Plugin – Returns a list of related entries based on a unique algorithm for display on your blog and RSS feeds. This is another favorite of mine, so it's also another one that I hope gets fixed sooner than later.
I'll be checking these frequently until I see that they're working again and I can reactivate them. When I can, I'll let you know, in case you use any of them, too.

"There's no distractions," Ritter says. "It's just fun, and easy to write here. We're far away from any big city. It's awesome."
After chronicling heartbreak on the first record, Ritter is writing about his young band growing up this time around. "I'm not bummed out at all on this record," he says. "A couple of songs I'm a little pissed, maybe. It's about being a real band -- I've seen all the fun stuff and all the shitty stuff too. This album is about some of the shit that's gone on, on the road and some experiences people I knew have had."
Some of the tracks the Rejects hope to road test on tour in Japan and Europe this summer are "Night Drive," "Eyelash Wishes," "We're the Ones," "Fight Back," "Wine for Two" and "Kiss Yourself Goodbye," though don't expect them to sound as poppy as the band's breakout single "Swing, Swing."
"It's not as clean, not as off the sleeve," Ritter says of the new batch of material. "It's definitely a step ahead of the first record. We still sound like us, but we're three years older and we've been on the road for two and a half of that -- we're kind of past the naive, cape pulled out from under our eyes."
Following the summer tour, the Rejects will head to Los Angeles where they'll record again with producer Tim O'Heir (Stellastarr*, Radio 4) and enjoy life on a slightly bigger budget.
"We did [our debut] in fucking armpits last time," Ritter says. "We had 600 bucks between the both of us for six months of living. For kids who have never been to New York in their life, that goes really fast."

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- 80 schools, 1,100 wrestlers and 2,000 matches. It all adds up to one of the largest and longest running wrestling tournaments in the Eastern United States.
Friday, the 35th Annual WSAZ Wrestling Invitational got underway giving local grapplers a chance to go head to head with some of the best in their own back yard.
"It's always big to have a tournament so close to home," Hurricane wrestler Zach Cooper said. "This is the biggest individual tournament before the regional and state tournament. It's always good competition."
For Huntington coach Rob Archer, this tournament has special meaning. He's been involved from the beginning, watching the tournament grow each and every year.
"It's special to me because I watched it grow from the old Huntington High gym to the Veterans field house to the Big Sandy Superstore Arena," Archer said. "It's neat to watch it grow and get bigger. It has a special place in my heart. Most of the kids have grown up watching the tournament. They definitely want to win the WSAZ tournament and add it to a list of their accomplishments."
But as badly as the wrestlers want to win, it's their parents who can be just as entertaining to watch. Many times, the parents scream and yell louder than the coaches.
"Some of the parents are crazy, but it's only about your kid and what he can do," Kim Fischer, who's son, Kyle, wrestles for Spring Valley said. "You probably are more into it because it's not a team. Its only him."
And that's what makes this sport so unique. While you're part of a team, it really comes down to one-on-one action with nowhere to turn for help.
"It's definitely the toughest sport in my opinion," Zach Cooper said. "It's a battle with you and another guy. It's about who is the toughest guy, and who wants to win the most. You don't have anyone helping you."
The WSAZ Invitational runs through Saturday, with the finals starting approximately 8:15 pm.
