Ken in Tyler has responded to the Tom Lester piece on A Constitutional Convention?:
The demise of our Republic is not due to flaws within the Constitution. Rather it is caused by ignoring the principles and original intent of the authors and understood by the ratifiers. All three branches at the federal level are guilty of circumventing the limitations intentionally placed in that wonderful document.
The Congress has no concept of their authorized role within Article 1, Section 8.
The Courts have become filled with political hacks who have no desire to keep the other branches in check.
And for some time now, the chief executive, seeing that there is no limit to the power he might assume to his office, has become worse than King George ever was.
We the people have become we the sheeple and meekly permit- even invite- this assault on Liberty to continue. And now the "problems" can be fixed by some wordsmithing? Nay, the only thing that will keep us from continuing our decline is a change in the hearts of the people to reawaken the love of Liberty.
When the collapse finally arrives and the real pain of tyranny makes itself known to America, the best we can hope for is to rebuild with the existing Constitution as our guide and a commitment to hold fast to the principles of the Founders.
As Ken points out, there is nothing wrong with the Constitution. The problem is the men running the country that ignore this document.
There is an old saying: "the perfect is the enemy of the good." It is a variant of the adage: "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!". In short, both mean that you shouldn't try to improve something that is working satisfactorily. In this particular case, we have something that isn't working properly. But just what is it that is not working properly. It is not the Constitution.
Calling a Constitutional Convention seems to be a juxtaposition of one of the adages above. It is the equivalent of stating that "the good is the enemy of the perfect." There is nothing wrong with the Constitution. It is as close to perfect as anyone has ever achieved. Does anyone really think this group of retarded pygmies in Washington can improve anything, no less the greatest document ever penned? I shudder to think of what these clowns would produce.
Our problem is not the operating system that we call The Constitution, it is the operators (and that seems to be an especially appropriate term for these slimy creatures that inhabit our government).
Another reader, Bill, offers these thoughts:
… the Constitution states that a convention shall be called upon two thirds applications of the several state legislatures. There is no requirement regarding same amendment subject or any other term or condition except that two thirds of the states must apply for a convention call. This means 34 states, 34 applications. You can read the applications from 49 states and their 748 applications at http://www.foavc.orgThe reason a convention has not occurred is not because the states have not applied but because Congress refuses to obey the Constitution and call the convention.
What good is it to change a nearly perfect document when you have imperfect people who are willing to ignore it or whatever changes might be made to it? Our problem has nothing to do with an old piece of parchment which represents the best attempt at limiting power and maximizing freedom ever produced. The problem lies with the criminals who won't adhere to the laws and restrictions that they swore to uphold. That is the problem and that is what needs to be fixed.
That cannot be fixed by changing the Constitution. It likely can only be fixed with torches, pitchforks and plenty of tar and feathers.

Trainer Spotlight: Kacie Harrington
Name: Kacie Harrington
Balance Location: Glover Park
Has Worked at Balance Since: February 2014
Personal Trainer Since: 2011
What is your personal training style?
Fun, challenging and results-focused. I like to incorporate all aspects of fitness in each workout including cardiovascular endurance, strength, power, agility and flexibility. I emphasize movement, proper form and body weight exercises.
What kinds of workouts do you like to do (when you're working out yourself)?
I enjoy lifting sessions that involve full body power movement intervals between strength sets. I also swim, run and bike along with yoga and balance work. I am always up for joining in a sport or fun new challenge!
How long have you been running?
I have been competitively running on and off since high school. I can't remember a time in my life where I wasn't running in some form, whether it was conditioning for a sport or to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
You recently won first place in a trail running race - how long have you been doing trail races? How did you train for that event (both to complete the race and to win!)?
I have been doing trail races every so often since 2010. I was inspired to hit the trails when I decided to train for my first mud-obstacle race. I figured I would have a more pleasurable time on the course if I was used to the terrain.
To train for events, I focus my energy on speed work, hill work and strength/power conditioning for the legs. I make sure to work the back side of the legs including glutes, hamstrings and calves so they are ready for the hills.
I also make sure to incorporate lots of balance and stability work moving in all three planes of motion (saggital, frontal and transverse) so the body is able to react to the uneven terrain you will encounter in the trails. I also make sure to cross train so I do not overdue it or injure myself. My favorites are swimming, rowing and yoga.
How do you suggest people fit working out into their busy schedules?
I believe everyone has the time to workout if they manage their time right. Working out needs to become part of your daily routine like brushing your teeth.
I suggest you add it to your calendar like any other appointment you would not cancel or skip. Plan to meet someone to help stay accountable and most importantly remember that every little bit counts. It is not an "all or nothing" task.
If you now only have 10 minutes, still do something active that will benefit your health. I barely have 30 minutes to workout some days but I make sure to do something even if it is only kettlebell swings while I watch a show on TV.
What is the best thing about being a trainer at Balance Gym?
The best thing about being a trainer at Balance is the ability to work with amazing clients of all ages and abilities with a wide variety of goals while being surrounded by a enthusiastic, supportive staff all with similar beliefs about fitness and health.
You don't see may gyms where all the trainers use foam rollers with all their clients. It is nice to feel like my values are being represented throughout the whole Balance team and company!
#BalanceLife is the road to healthier, happier living.

The first baby born at the new Mary Greeley Hospital was thought to be Marion Addison Olinger, the son of Lettie Laurene Hawkes Olinger and Howard Clayton Olinger of Nevada, Iowa. Marion was born on December 3, 1916, before the hospital had been officially dedicated. About two years later, Marion posed with his mother outside the original hospital building at Twelfth Street and Douglas Avenue. When Marion grew up he married Lola Fern Smith, sister of Ames local history maven, Irene Smith Crippen. (Coincidentally, Fern Smith, suffering from spinal meningitis and pneumonia, was also hospitalized in the new hospital as an infant in 1917.) Marion was delivered by Dr. Clarence A. Aplin, who with his wife Clara lived at 515 Douglas Avenue, site of the 1985 addtion to the Ames Public Library. (See also: 139.767.1-3)

Winchester's soft-shootin' hard-hittin' SX3 Composite shotgun deliversÂ
Story and Photos by Jerry Catania
Who says the sequel is never better than the original?
I first came across the Winchester Super X1 shotgun at one of the Steel Challenge matches in Piru, CA, in the 1980s. Someone—I forget who—won the overall title with that gun. Produced from 1974 to 1981, the Super X1 was all steel and expensive, which probably explains why it was discontinued.
  Winchester introduced the SX2 shotgun in 1999. Although it had the same general name and look as its predecessor, it was quite different, utilizing a different gas mechanist and an alloy receiver to save weight. Available in 12 gauge with a 3.5-inch chamber, the SX2 was capable of handling all types of 12-gauge shells.
I wrote an article about the SX2 in the June 2004 issue of Gun World and praised the gun highly. It quietly disappeared from Winchester catalogues when Winchester was forced to close the doors of its historic, 140-year-old New Haven, CT facility in 2006, where all of Winchester's firearms were manufactured. The SX2 is still available in the FN Herstal line renamed the "SLP" tactical and police shotgun, which I covered in the July 2004 issue of Gun World.
Winchester re-opened the facility in 2007 and an improved version of the SX-2 was introduced: the SX3. Changes were subtle and the results include improved handling, increased reliability, lighter weight (by a full half-pound), less felt recoil—and all in the fastest-firing 12-gauge autoloader ever made. The SX3 lives up to all the hype. Available in several versions in both 12 and 20 gauge, it was the model called the SX3 Composite that we chose for testing.
The SX3 Composite features a gunmetal gray Perma-Coat UT (Ultra Tough) coating that is applied to all external metal surfaces for extreme corrosion resistance. The bolt is further plated with electroless nickel for reduced friction and additional corrosion protection. The barrel is back-bored to a diameter of .742-inch, whereas barrels that are not back-bored typically have a diameter of only.725-inch.
Back-boring results in more uniform patterns by decreasing pellet deformation and by providing higher velocities (shorter shot strings) through reduced friction between the wad cup and the barrel—especially with the heaviest loads. The receiver and magazine tube are made of weight-saving alloy while the barrel is slim but very high in tensile strength. The ventilated rib is machined for further weight reduction.
The black synthetic stock has a Dura-Touch armor coating that offers a soft, velvety feel while providing a sure grip in wet conditions. It is extremely wear-resistant, as well. In addition, the SX3 comes with two extra spacers to increase length of pull, and five spacers to adjust the stock for drop, cast-off and cast-on.
The proprietary sporting clays-type recoil pad (Inflex Technology) combined with the Active Valve gas system reduces felt recoil by as much as 50 percent over inertia-operated semi-automatic shotguns. My personal observation is that recoil is dramatically less than that of an inertia-operated shotguns and almost unnoticeable when compared to a typical pump shotgun.
The Winchester Super X3 is a great handling shotgun. I was able to fire big payloads of shot from a rested position without unduly rattling my fillings. The SX3 is fast enough for pheasants, dove or quail, and light enough to carry all day and soft shooting for ducks and geese. It will also handle the big shot loads for turkey, varmints and deer. I have never fired a more user-friendly shotgun.

Recent Franklin Reviews
We were in town for my brothers graduation. Since so much family was there it was also a reunion. There were 14 people in our group. We had an excellent time and the house was beautiful. Sara, the property manager was easy to work with. The house is just as beautiful as the pictures and the town of franklin is lovely. Every room in the house seemed to have its own identitiy. The game room was a real plus also. Everyone was comfortable. I only have 1 minor complaint most of the pool sticks were either broken or non functional and the quality of some furnishings didnt seem to be up to par with the rest of the house. But that is a minor complaint. Everything was great and I would stay here again
What a beautiful home, well appointed with thoughtful touches. We've stayed in many properties which can be hit or miss and you can't take anything for granted. But at Jefferson House, even the smallest details were considered, down to the chocolates waiting for us upon arrival. The home has been wonderfully restored and decorated, very clean and well maintained. An easy walk to Main Street activities and restaurants. Perfect location. The stairs are a bit steep and narrow to the second level, just something to consider if traveling with toddlers or older folks in the family.

- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Stir together the sugar, chipotle powder, chili powder, and garlic powder in a small bowl; set aside.
- Stir together the butter, honey, and kosher salt in a large saucepan over medium heat until the butter has melted, and the mixture is bubbly. Stir in the peanuts until well coated, then pour out into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Bake in preheated oven until the nuts are golden brown, about 30 minutes. Stir the mixture 2 or 3 times to ensure even cooking. Once done, scrape the peanuts into a large metal bowl, and sprinkle with the spice mixture. Toss the peanuts to evenly coat with the spice mixture. Allow the peanuts to cool to room temperature, tossing every few minutes so the nuts do not stick together.

I was looking for a basic honey roasted peanuts recipe and I used this one minus the spices in the sugar. And they were wonderful! Thanks for the recipe
Veronica Miller
These nuts are incredible! I followed the instructions exactly, which is rare for me, and they turned out perfect. I did use a jar of unsalted roasted peanuts so mine were basically double-roasted. I was worried about the outcome--thinking they might taste burned--but they are wonderful. I don't think you can go wrong here!
These are fantastic! They give you the little spicy kick just at the end. I served them for a neighborhood BBQ, and they were gobbled up. I even had a couple people ask me for the recipe. I made another batch a couple days later and I keep them in my cupboard for my family. If you don't like extra "zing!", don't add extra spice. I made this exactly as written and I like things "medium" and I think they are perfect.

Please Help!
My wife just got denied a promotion at work and in top of that she went to a store to buy something to bring her spirit up but she was so upset she left the parking lot and crashed into another car. She is really down and I want to cook something special for her. I want to do Chicken but I want to do it really special. what ways do you think I should do it?
I love Chicken Satimbocca (and sometimes use veal). My husband i and think that it tastes like something you would get at a restaurant.
Whatever you serve, include champagne. It's tough to remain down-in-the-dumps when those wonderful bubbles are tickling your nose. Turn down the lights, have a picnic oin front of the fireplace and park the kids somewhere as well. The food won't be quite as important as the thought you put into it. Whatever you choose to make, give it a personal twist. Bake bread in the shape of her initials, write something poignant on the cake, ILY written in ketchup on the burger patty -- anything that says you care deeply.
I offer this advice as someone who backed out of her driveway and ran into the carriage lamp post. Disgusted with myself, I returned to the garage (thinking I really shouldn't be behind the wheel when I was so distracted) and dropped the garage door on the hood of my car. When I related my tale of woe, my wonderful husband responded, "Honey, that could have happened to anyone". He doesn't cook, but the fireplace picnic (no kids since they're already out of the house) and champagne made these mishaps much more tolerable. Today we can laugh about it, after all, it takes a special kind of talent to do this much damage- twice - in a single minute.
The champagne idea is an excellent one - it makes everything seem better.
Think about what she really likes and do that. Does she love cake? Then make a big cake and serve her the whole thing with a fork. It will make her smile.
I love pizza and would be thrilled to come home and find homemade pizza or at least ordered from my fav place.... with a whole bottle of good red wine.
Go with what she likes the best and then go big.
I love a chicken and rice comfort food. Try this link:
And yes - use the champagne!!!! Its not that she "lost" the job or had a Oops - its about tomorrow's!
(and I love, love Sherri's post - take it to heart) :-o)

Texas State Guardsmen jumps into action!
By: LTC Cendy Antley, 2nd Regiment
Posted: 18-JUL-14
We all know Texas State Guard members are people who give of themselves selflessly to the citizens of the state of Texas. Wednesday, July 16, 2014 was no different. On Interstate 35 South at Waco, CPL Michael Dunlap witnessed what few would ever want to see in their lifetime.
At approximately 5:45 p.m. CPL Dunlap was driving home to Austin when he witnessed a motorcycle in the right hand lane, on its side, on fire, with the driver lying in the lane not moving. Fuel was running down the overpass on fire. Without hesitation, CPL Dunlap stopped his car, checked to make sure the scene was safe, and pulled the driver of the motorcycle to safety with the assistance of a truck driver.
The motorcycle driver was conscious and answer pertinent questions posed by the CPL. While no one Texas State Guard member expects to put their life on the line to save a stranger, we are very proud of CPL Michael Dunlap as he exemplifies what a State Guardsman is made of. CPL Michael Dunlap is the true grit of a Texas State Guardsmen. Bravo Zulu.

Meet the Hot or Not Dark Horse
May 7, 2008 10:14 AM
So what everyone really wants to know these days is who the heck is Michael Somerville?
Because right now he is one of the top two contenders for the Hottest Male Web Host. And nobody seems to know him. Yet enough people seem to know him that he's often leading in the votes, jockeying back and forth with Captain Speedo—aka David Price of "The Middle Show"—and Leo Laporte.
So who is this dark horse?
Well, you might not yet know him from his online persona. But I bet some of the ladies who read my blog will know him from his other life. He's Jake from Glamour magazine! You know … "Ask Jake," the guy who gives you the guy's perspective on relationships.
And that's sort of what he does in his new show "Love, Somerville." It's a tongue-in-cheek series on relationships and it can be quite funny at times. Just check out this recent episode, especially when he breaks up with his girlfriend via a puppy greeting card.

Douglas Montgomery has worked in the real estate business for 25 years. He said he "jumped" at the chance last year to move his office into the community where he lives, sells homes and volunteers.
Montgomery, who was born in Goshen and moved to Douglaston in 1998, operates , which sells properties in northeast Queens and specializes in tax liens.
"I was always interested in real estate," said Montgomery, who received his license in 1987. "One thing I liked about it is that every transaction is different. You don't go into the office and do the same thing every day. You're always dealing with different people, different personalities and different houses."
Montgomery first worked upstate for a company known as Village Construction before moving to Queens, where he worked as a broker who managed Housing and Urban Development (HUD) properties.
In 1992, he set up an office on Northern Boulevard in Bayside where he ran his real estate business. Seven years ago, he changed its name from Urban Redevelopment to Home NY.
In the late 1990s, he said he witnessed a lot of fraudulent situations during which investors took properties from homeowners. At that point, he took on tax liens as part of his business.
"Last year, I saved somebody who did not know he was in foreclosure," Montgomery said. "I helped him pay off his tax lien. If I hadn't jumped in, he would have lost his house."
Montgomery primarily sells homes in Douglaston and Douglas Manor, but he also has properties in other parts of Queens, such as Fresh Meadows and Middle Village, and Long Island.
The price range for the properties he sells range from a $300,000 home in North Hempstead to a $1.7 million home in Douglas Manor.
Montgomery said he was pleased to be able to move into Douglaston 14 years ago. He believes it is important to live – as well as work - in the community.
"It's a wonderful neighborhood," he said. "Every day, I wake up and feel blessed to be here. The space I'm in became available last June, so I jumped at the opportunity."
Since moving to the neighborhood, he has become president of the Douglaston Garden Club and a member of and 's Parent Teacher Association.
Last year, he fought to convince non-profit GrowNYC to set up a green market in the community.
Home NY is located at 40-60 Douglaston Parkway. For more information, call 718-279-8762.

In its glory days, the Forum was Southern California's preeminent entertainment venue, a behemoth with Roman columns where adoring fans came to see the likes of Wilt Chamberlain, Wayne Gretzky and Bob Dylan.
But the famous round building fell on hard times. The Los Angeles Lakers and Kings moved downtown. Other venues in up-and-coming neighborhoods came along to nab the concert business. And, in the end, the Forum was bought by the Faithful Central Bible Church and all but forgotten.

Men who publicly praised Sept. 11 attacks to face charges
By The Associated Press
Printer-friendly page
NEW YORK Judges in two separate cases have rejected the free-speech claims of defendants arrested on disorderly conduct charges after police said they publicly praised the World Trade Center attacks.
Judges William Harrington and Neil Ross of Manhattan Criminal Court refused to dismiss charges filed against defendants Reggie Upshaw and William Harvey.
Harrington's decision, made public March 29, dealt with charges of disorderly conduct and inciting to riot against Upshaw. Upshaw allegedly praised the attacks to a crowd of about 50 people near Times Square a few days after Sept. 11.
Harrington quoted Upshaw as saying, "It's good that the World Trade Center was bombed. More cops and firemen should have died. More bombs should have been dropped and more people should have been killed."
Harrington wrote that Upshaw claimed his language was, "of a political nature, intended to spur debate and thought, not to create the type of public harm contemplated by the statute."
Harrington disagreed, saying the words, "were plainly intended to incite the crowd to violence, and not simply to express a point of view."
"The talismanic phrase 'freedom of speech' does not cloak all utterances in legality," the judge wrote.
An earlier decision by Ross involved Harvey, who was arrested Oct. 4 near the trade center ruins after he allegedly said the Sept. 11 attacks were revenge for U.S. treatment of Islamic nations.
Dressed in military fatigues and holding a sign with Osama bin Laden's face superimposed over the twin towers, Harvey attracted a lunchtime crowd of about 60 people, some of whom threatened to kill him, police said.
Detective Nemesio Rodriguez, who arrested Harvey, alleged in a court complaint that the defendant essentially stated that, "America is getting paid back for what it's doing to Islamic countries."
In a February decision, Ross said that because of the time and place of the speech, it is reasonable to infer that Harvey knew "that public inconvenience, annoyance and alarm would result."
New York Civil Liberties Union director Donna Lieberman said Ross' decision should not be allowed to stand. She said police, instead of arresting Harvey, should have protected him from those who were trying to stop him from expressing himself.
First Amendment expert Floyd Abrams said the defendants were expressing "political advocacy, detestable to almost all of us, but protected nonetheless."
"I find disturbing the notion that people can be jailed for reasons that bear on the content of what they are saying," Abrams said.

The Human Touch That May Loosen Google's Grip from the New York Times questions whether Google's use of algorithms and computers to compile search results might lead to its demise in the future.
One of the search engines the NY Times focuses on is the Mahalo human-edited search engine. It also explores several search alternatives. PC World also covers some of these in a timely article.
Google engineer Matt Cutts is quoted extensively in the article, making a case that Google does have a human touch. Matt followed up the article with his own blog post named the role of humans in Google search. A summary of that post, on how Matt says humans are in the algorithm every day:
- PageRank is based on linkage data, created by humans
- Google News is based off article selections that ultimately get put onto the web by human editors at various publications
- The Google Toolbar has a voting button
- Google allows users to remove results from their personalized search
- Spam reports help Google adjust their algorithms and spot spam attempts quicker
- Google engineers work hard to make for a better algorithm every day

Escaping ACL group stage is the measure of success

Three ACL games, three excellent results for A-League teams. Adelaide United, the Roar and Mariners all deserve congratulations for their impressive displays. But we should not get too carried away with early group stage results.
I owe an apology to Adelaide fans because I largely wrote off the Reds before the tournament began.
It's not because I don't think Adelaide are a capable football team but more because as we've seen in the past, some A-League teams struggle in the Champions League coming in on the back of poor domestic campaigns.
But Adelaide got the job done against a poor Gamba Osaka and should have enough momentum behind them to battle their way out of the group stage.
I wouldn't get too excited about a win over a Gamba side currently in transition, though.
For those unaware, Gamba's long-term coach Akira Nishino stepped down at the end of last season and the J. League denied former Japan international Wagner Lopes the job as his replacement because Lopes lacks the requisite coaching licence.
That meant Brazilian journeyman Jose Carlos Serrao stepped into the role and his team has looked completely disjointed ever since.
More importantly though, Gamba have for years been hampered by the poor goalkeeping of Yosuke Fujigaya and he turned in a typically inept performance at Hindmarsh Stadium – especially in comparison to the outstanding Eugene Galekovic.
I was just as impressed with the Roar's performance in Beijing.
I don't think Guoan are quite the side they were a couple of seasons ago but they had over 40,000 passionate fans cheering them on in the chilly Chinese capital and could well have run away with it after registering a soft opener.
That they failed to do so – and indeed were ultimately fortunate to take a point – says much for the oft-ignored fighting capabilities of Ange Postecoglou's side.
And Graham Arnold's Mariners deserve praise for taking a point off Nagoya Grampus in their 1-1 draw last night.
Before the tournament kicked off I thought Nagoya might have a red-hot go at trying to win it, but watching them go through the motions in Gosford suggests Dragon Stojkovic's side have domestic matters in mind.
Still, it was a strong Nagoya line-up 'Piksi' sent out and the Mariners should be proud to have held their own against a Grampus side which employed an inordinate amount of long-ball football on the night.
Having said all that, what worries me sometimes about A-League teams getting results in Asia is the constant navel-gazing and blind obsession with bettering our East Asian rivals.
Beating Gamba Osaka doesn't make Adelaide United the best team in Asia, just as losing to FC Tokyo doesn't suddenly make Brisbane Roar the worst team in Australia.
It's football: teams win some, lose some and either bounce back next week or fall into a terrible slump.
And when teams from certain countries clearly take the Champions League more seriously than others, it's hard to read much into results until the business end of the tournament.
That said, I'm really looking forward to watching our three representatives take on South Korean opponents.
I think Pohang, Seongnam and Ulsan are all in it to win it this year and all three should provide stern tests for our A-League teams.
I can't wait to see the likes of Derek Asamoah, Lee Keun-Ho and Yoon Bit-Garam take on Australian opposition and I think our tussle with the K-League representatives will be highlight fixtures of the group stage.
But win, lose or draw I don't think A-League teams and their fans should read too much into these early results.
The important thing is to get out of the group and progress to the knock-out stage and on that front, Adelaide, Brisbane and Central Coast are well placed to do exactly that.

In any case, I fail to see what's wrong with "constant navel-gazing and blind obsession with bettering our East Asian rivals".
Is there anything wrong with a blind obsession with beating the Poms at cricket, for example?
The growing rivally with our East Asian counterparts, at club level and internationl, is one of the best things about being in Asia.

Isn't the playing squad of Nagoya worth over $50 million, while the CC Mariners, their playing squad value is only 2.4 or 2.5 million.
It does put a perspective that our A-League teams are punching above their weight.

Fuss, I for one, do take the ACL seriously. It is an important competition, and crucial for the growth, development, and exposure of the A-League.
I also know that many of my fellow fans also take the ACL seriously.
But maybe the group I go to matches with aren't representative of the average MVFC fan?

Yes, you're right, it didn't help that Ernie didn't take it seriously.
In relation to crowd numbers, although I watch all MVFC ACL games, I do not often attend the match, especially when it's on a week night. Why? I simply can't get to all the games due to other commitments.
But that doesn't mean I don't take it seriously, and it also doesn't mean I don't watch the games on TV

In my humble that is the best we have ever played aside from up front…
Respect nay huge respect for GA … the formation he played tonight and the way he drilled the shape into them was the like I have not seen before … held for the entire match…
My observations … from corners he zoned defended like all players aside from Musty and Olly inside the six yard box… Only Kennedy seemed to be playing in a forward role so he left Wilko and Douchie to watch him and pushed Rose and Pedj into wide midfield roles pushing weeMac & Olly more into the centre of the park and denied them space to work with… we they did get some space they looked quite skillfull…
The ref … worse than Breeze when Kossie Killers kicked us to death …
Now for Musty … OMG …. he played a game tonight that should have him in the Australian side … without Hutch & Dutchie and he could not have played how he did however words fail me the way he closed down the play, distributed the ball, ran at pace, touch under pressure unbelievably… hunger and determination I have not seen him show before as well…
My ratings of players….
Ryan 8. Top game. Totally alert and distribution first class.
Bojic 6. Headless chook but still worked hard.
Rose 7. Good game and one superb bit of defending kept us in the game.
Wilko 7.5 Top game from a man in fine form.
Dutchy 8.5 Simply brilliant.
WeeMac 7. Not in top gear tonight but still decent.
Hutcho 7.5. Pretty good game…when he plays like that we don't miss Griffo.
Amini 9.5. First half, slightly off the boil but second half he was amazingly good. Japs struggled to control him.
Bozanic 8. Great game. Made a couple of mistakes late on but was superb overall.
Rogic 7. Decent game, second half was much better than the first
Hearfield 5. Worked hard, but well out of his depth.
Subs ….all did ok.

GOP: Obama Circumventing Congress on No Child Left Behind
States can seek relief from the law's provisions if they accept reforms.
With reforms to the nation's central education policy, No Child Left Behind, languishing in Congress, Education Secretary Arne Duncan signaled the Obama administration is proceeding with reforms on its own, drawing congressional Republicans to cry foul. They say Duncan's plan, which will grant waivers to states that agree to specific reforms, circumvents Congress.
Duncan hinted at the waivers earlier in the summer but announced this week he would move forward with providing states relief from the education policy's key provisions—the core of which is that all students test at grade level in math and reading by 2014—while still maintaining a "high bar" for accountability. Specific details of the waiver requirements and process will not be released until September, Duncan said.
Republicans see this as an end-run around Congress, especially if the waivers require reforms that have not been legislated by Congress, which they are expected to do. "The idea that waivers are being used to circumvent Congress doesn't sit well, especially when the waivers are likely to create an even heavier top-down approach than what's already in place," said California Rep. Duncan Hunter, chairman of the House Early Childhood, Elementary, and Secondary Education Subcommittee.
[Check out a roundup of GOP political cartoons.]
While both side of the aisle agree No Child Left Behind, or NCLB, needs massive changes, the recent budget and debt ceiling fights have dominated Washington and heightened partisanship, leaving Congress unable to agree on such reforms by the beginning of the fast-approaching school year, which was the deadline set by President Obama and Duncan.
The Obama administration introduced its comprehensive blueprint for education reform in March of 2010, but Minnesota Rep. John Kline, chairman of the House Education and Workforce Committee, is working to reform NCLB through a series of smaller bills. His committee has already passed three, though the committee's ranking Democrat, Rep. George Miller of California, says only one of those was bipartisan.
Miller initially was not a fan of the waiver idea when Duncan floated it earlier this summer, but after Duncan's announcement this week, Miller said he understands the rationale. "The timing, coupled with recent disappointing policy actions by Republicans, make it very difficult to see how we can get a bipartisan [education bill] this Congress," he said in a statement. "We can't expect schools to continue to function under 10 year old policies—it's not good for our students or our economy."
[See editorial cartoons on Democrats.]
Hope for broad, bipartisan education reform anytime soon is dwindling, but Kline is wary that short-term solutions like waivers could undermine Congress's efforts altogether. "We plan to complete our reauthorization package this fall," he said before Duncan's waivers announcement. "I will be monitoring the secretary's actions closely to ensure they are consistent with the law and Congressional intent."
While the law permits the secretary of education to waive various requirements of NCLB, and there is a precedent for doing so, a June report by the Congressional Research Service indicates there is no precedent for a secretary to require reforms in exchange for a waiver. In that case, the report says, "the likelihood for a legal challenge might increase, particularly if [the Department of Education] failed to sufficiently justify its rationale for imposing such conditions." The report adds that this would, of course, depend on the specifics of the situation.
Part of the Republicans' frustration also comes from the fact that the details of waivers are still under wraps, though Kline asked for them more than a month ago, another indication of tension between the executive branch and the Republican-controlled House. On June 23, Kline sent a letter to Duncan asking for specifics of his waiver proposal by July 1. Duncan responded on July 6 explaining his rationale for considering waivers, citing requests for flexibility from states and communities as well as congressional inaction, but excluding any specific details. "Unfortunately, more questions than answers surround the secretary's waivers proposal," Kline said in a statement. "The secretary has a responsibility to explain the steps states and schools will be required to take in exchange for the promised relief."

Emotion continues to play in love relationships, many hot black girls lose touch with such emotions. This
isn't surprising in a culture that views emotion as problematic. For centuries, cultural and religious
institutions denigrated emotion. Hot african american girls were encouraged to think, rather than feel. Though this disregard
for emotion has evolved in accordance with our understanding of brain function, preference for thought over feeling prevails
as the cultural norm. Many hot black women look to control their emotions, rather than experience them. Painful and
confusing emotional communication leads sexy african american women to substitute less offensive, more intellectual secondary
emotions in love relationships. How do we go from experiencing sadness, anger, fear and joy to an emotionally barren
existence? What choices limit emotional intelligence? As we mature, so does the ability to distance
ourselves from sexy black ladies. With the abilities to speak, plan and fantasize come intellectual control. Intention
provides us with the means to displace, distort and stifle emotions if our first hot black ladies relationships failed to
set in place the desired nonverbal communication skills. To cope with unregulated emotion, secondary responses are developed
that include distracting ourselves with obsessive thoughts and behaviors that elicit controllable
emotions. We may fabricate an elaborate fantasy life that distracts us from feeling sexy african american girls. Or, we may
engage in distracting compulsive and addictive behaviors to absorb our attention. Sticking with an emotion
that is bearable and unwavering consistently angry or constantly clowning may seem emotionally intense, but such
feelings are typically out of sync with reality. Sexy black girls who are always kidding around may be covering
up feelings of fear or insecurity. Sexy black women who is always angry or sarcastic may be deeply hurting beneath the
hostile front. Hot african american women with overwhelming feelings of anger or sadness may cope by numbing themselves

SCAM DIET by Kyle Hemmings
The tragedy of your life
is not that you were without
a centerfold of curves
or pregnant
with a sky empty of luck
but rather
that you kept returning
to a man you mistreated,
a token lover, a mistaken identity
hidden under your mother's bed,
you nicknamed him Cat
and sent him scampering alone
without a bowl of minced fishbones.
You pretended to cry in front of strangers
how he died without a proper diet
of Omega-3s.
Kyle Hemmings has two chapbooks of poems out: Avenue C from Scars Publications, and Fuzzy Logic from Punkin Press.
Thru a dime store
magnifying glass,
prisms of sunlight
dissolving dry brown leaves
into smoke.
My friends,
all impressed.
Ben Rasnic lives in Maryland, works in Virginia, drives the Capitol Beltway on a daily basis and is not surprised by anything he sees along the way.
TWO POEMS by Steven Gulvezan
Old schoolteacher cowboy poet
Way back in your eyes
Your pain saw stories
And touched lives
Lesser beings never noticed
Or, noticing, chose to hide
An agony of happiness
Is not to be dismissed--
Forsake assisted living,
Screw your kids' inheritance,
Surrender what remains
Of your pride and your life
And dance, grandma, dance.
Born in Detroit, Steven Gulvezan has worked as a journalist and a librarian. His fiction and poetry have appeared in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, Scythe, Red Fez, Danse Macabre, Heavy Bear, Gutter Eloquence, The Absent Willow Review, Battered Suitcase and many other literary publications.
INTELLECT by Judy Shepps Battle
Rage spreads
mutes agony
disguises intention
distorts history
fuels dementia and
incites delight.
Judy Shepps Battle has been writing poems long before she became a psychotherapist and sociology professor. Widely published both in the USA and abroad during the Sixties and Seventies, she deferred publishing to concentrate on career and family. These poems represent her return to the writing community.
THE PROUD ACCOUNTING by Bill Yarrow
You were the first to be found
head down in the sewage
of what we do for a living
but time will purify that.
Your wife is losing weight
in the hope that grief will
make her body attractive,
and it will. She is radiantly
unhappy without you,
but worst off is your daughter,
wrapped in the newspaper
that announced your death.
She walks alone in black high heels
down the corridor of sterile engagement.
Bill Yarrow is the author of WRENCH (erbacce-press, 2009) His poems have appeared in Poetry International, PANK, DIAGRAM, BLIP, new aesthetic, and numerous other journals. He lives in Illinois.
If we were in Spain today
and if you were to ask
Do you love me? And if
I were to answer Oranges
from China you would
cry because that means
No Way in the parlance of
Spaniards and in other places
actually Spain only, really
definitely not China or
thereabouts but if you
were to cry after my Oranges
from China remark I would
hand you my handkerchief,
not out of pity, but out of
love, for there are no oranges
in China, not when I think
of you, no way are there
any oranges or China there.

Green Man Therapeutic Massage
Austin, Texas
"Life is not merely to be alive, but to be well."
—Marcus Valerius Martial
Now in Practicing Austin
Green Man Therapeutic Massage has a new location! I have moved to Austin, Texas, where I am available by appointment for individual clinical work or corporate events. In addition, please watch my events page for chair massage dates around the community. I am excited about bringing the benefits of therapeutic massage to my new neighbors.
More and more, people have begun to view massage therapy as more than simple "pampering." Physicians and other healthcare providers increasingly recommend massage therapy to their patients because they know massage therapy can supplement traditional medical care by relieving stress and pain, reducing blood pressure and boosting the immune system. Recent research shows that massage provides relief for chronic low back pain, eases pain and muscle spasms following bypass surgery, and is effective in treating lymphedema (a condition common among mastectomy survivors). Other chronic pain conditions such as migraines, TMJ dysfunction, sciatica, fibromyalgia, and carpal tunnel syndrome also respond to treatment with clinical massage.

The most amazing thing happened Thursday. Clinton County Emergency Services along with the Sheriff's Department and Communications provided a Search and Rescue Training for other first responders and the Community Emergency Response Team volunteers. We unexpectedly had a real-life chance to see what a search and rescue operation feels and looks like.
We had just come in from the first training exercise when a call came in to Emergency Services and the deputies that, of all things, there was a real search and rescue emergency. Two little boys, ages 4 and 2, had gone missing out in a rural area, just minutes after they had gone out to play. When she couldn't find them just a few minutes later, their mom called 911 and the closest responders had arrived almost immediately and searched the house, pool and areas nearby. Meanwhile all other emergency services had been notified, and it was decided they would use the Command Center already set up at Eagle Point Lodge for the search and rescue training. Deputies involved with the training had already left for the scene, and other first responders began arriving and were dispatched. Bill and Lois Hall were at the training with their search and rescue dogs so they were sent out.
Last, after instructions were given, some of us CERT volunteers were sent out to join the search while others stayed to help with Command Center needs.
In between all this activity, the Sheriff's Department was calmly and quickly as possible arranging for more help, including an equestrian search and rescue team and helicopters with heat-sensing equipment. A perimeter had been set up to monitor traffic in and out of the area. They had already checked whether there were any registered sex offenders in the area.
When we arrived at the home, we saw that the surrounding area was even rougher than it looked on the GIS system. It was surrounded by cornfields, trees and timber, and fields covered in tall grass, weeds and brush. We were sent to search the rough area, there were already search teams in the cornfields, and the dogs were working. We went through brush and weeds as tall as we were, over very rough ground and thick undergrowth. We came upon an abandoned old farmstead, found nothing there. We'd been out only about a half hour when the call came that the boys had been found. Thank God! It was a cold mid-afternoon and only a few hours til dark. Fortunately the little boys were dressed warm.

How many of you have played the Live Search Club games on MSN? I found them one day when I was playing the Java-based games on their games page and tried the first release - Flexicon which combines using Live Search to answer the interconnected crossword puzzles and if you complete the game and have all of the answers, you get 25 tickets - these "tickets" accrue much like Gather Points and when you reach the number you need to "purchase" something from the prize page, they subtract your tickets from your total and send you the prize. Simple, elegant and good for lots of prizes at all levels. The first three times I redeemed tickets I got movie tickets that are accepted at our favorite movie theatre complex. I liked to play games and it was trivia and crosswords combined so what could I lose? That answer comes later.
Some of the things they had as prizes suddenly went up in purchase price and, as I have said before, my hubby builds computers for the household and they offered a copy of Microsoft Windows Premium VISTA Home edition for 20,000 tickets. I asked Mel if he could use a new copy of VISTA and he said sure so I began gaming to get a copy of the software. They have several games on the site and some return as little as 3 tickets per win (also they award partial credits if you just can't discern their answer form their clues) to as much as 25 tickets per win. At that rate, it takes quite a while to build a 20,000 ticket account. But I played a couple of hours per day to keep adding to the account.
When we went to San Antonio, in July, to Mel's professional convention, we took the laptop and while I was in the room I played the Live Search Club games and noticed that there were some people showing more than 30,000 tickets in their accounts while I had less than 10,000 so I looked at the leaderboard and those folks had been on my level only the week before so I knew something was up - they had either found a glitch in their reporting program, had set up "bots" to play the games endlessly to collect tickets or something - I am not a programmer but my husband who is said someone was exploiting an error somewhere. That was not fine with me but I was not one of the exploiters so I had nothing to worry about, right? Wrong!
In October, I finally got the 20,000 tickets for the copy of VISTA. I was not being lazy, they ran out of new games to play and there were weeks when there were no games I could play. So, for August I waited for new games and they finally debuted at the end of the month so I was able to play again and work toward my 20,000. I applied for the software on October 3rd and received a confirmation from their prize division called Incentive Logic and was told the software would be mailed out on November 29th. Then we made plans to go on the cruise in December and I worried that I would not be home to receive the package so I looked for a way to contact them to ask them to send it later but their customer service page kept saying I had invalid words or symbols in the request and it would not send through. Instead, the page notified me that an error had been reported to their customer service division. That was all well and good for them but did nothing for me.
After the cruise, I checked the mail we had put a hold on before we left for Florida. The VISTA copy was not there (I had received the movie passes in regular mail and hoped they used the same venue for other prizes). I then tried to contact Live Search Club again and got the same message about invalid words and symbols. Mel told me to try taking out all of the things except punctuation. I did and still got the message. He tried sending them a message and got the same message. Then he said to take out ALL of the punctuation and see what happened. We finally got a message to them by removing all punctuation and everything that was not a space or a letter. Mel sent a message and I sent a message - he got an answer and I did not. Wouldn't you expect Microsoft or one of their divisions under their MSN flag to use a user-friendly email system. But, no.
Today, I received a somewhat answer to my inquiry about the missing software.
"Thank you for contacting us with regard to your recent activity with Microsoft Live Search Club.
Any promotion of this type comes with these risks, which we anticipated and have been actively watching for. We're committed to providing a positive experience for the millions of users that are enjoying the games. We regularly review game play and have a set of criteria by which invalid activity is easily identified. When find this type of behavior, we cancel any prize orders or ticket accruals made by that account, based on the Microsoft Terms and Conditions."
I read this to be calling me dishonest and a cheater. I have written two mildly upset emails to this email already today and this really irks me because they are hiding behind a corporate identity and making me sound like a cheating player for whom they cancelled my hard earned tickets. I am not perfect by any means but I do resent and abhor being passively called a liar and a cheater. This is not over because I have not heard back from them as to the questions I posed in the two emails I have already sent. To my mind, they should have notified me of the cancellation if they cancelled and allowed me to respond to the unspoken charges. I know they are the almighty Microsoft but they may find that a riled Southern female is up to the challenge of their nerviness.
There is no way to contact these people by phone - only email and they do not list any recourse as they say they have the option to cancel at their discretion but I want a chance to be heard and an apology if they feel I was wronged. I want my day with Microsoft, MSN and Live Search Club.

Heath Ledger Documentary To Air On Ovation
The life and work of Heath Ledger will be celebrated in an hour-long documentary on Ovation TV, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The documentary about the Oscar-winning actor will premiere in August for the cable channel's "Live Fast, Die Young," a week-long event, which delves into the lives of stars who died young. Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Jim Belushi will also be featured.
"Throughout his short career, Heath Ledger seemed a star destined to burn brightly and leave a lasting mark," Kris Slava, Senior VP of Programming for Ovation TV told the trade magazine. "This documentary is a warm, honest portrayal of the actor and the man, and features footage that has never been seen in America."
Ledger died on January 22, 2008, from an accidental drug overdose in his New York apartment. His last film, "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" debuted at the Cannes Film Festival in May and will be widely released in the fall.

Laid-Off Wall Streeters Bartending, Baking Cupcakes
Former bankers and traders are also gambling, buying hair salons.
Tough times on Wall Street mean more than 76,000 workers in the financial service industry—including traders, bankers, and analysts—are now out of a job. What are they doing now? Trying on new careers for far less pay, reports the International Herald Tribune.
Take 27-year-old Harvard graduate Jessica Walter, who lost her job as vice president for credit strategy at Bear Stearns. Now she's in the cupcake business. Or Jeff Salmon, who left a job investing in asset-backed securities to open a hair-salon franchise in New Jersey. According to the story, former traders and bond salesmen are also bartending and selling real estate. Other ex-traders are paying the bills by gambling (perhaps inspired by the movie Boiler Room?).
And while bankers with a financial cushion are buying ranches out West and moving to Dubai, laid-off investment banker Joshua Perksy is trolling Park Avenue wearing a sandwich board reading "Experienced MIT Grad for Hire."
