The hockey world is reeling after a top player was killed in a on-field accident in Perth.
The WA Today newspaper reports that 24-year-old Lizzie Watkins was playing first-grade hockey for the North Coast Raiders team with her sister, when the ball struck her on the head.
It is believed the ball may have deflected off her own stick.
Watkins was revived after she collapsed on the field, but she died on the way to hospital.
News of her death spread quickly through the hockey community, with Olympic gold medalist Jamie Dwyer taken twitter to express his condolences.
"All the kookaburras thoughts are with the Watkins family after the devastating news today. Such a sad day in the hockey world," he wrote.
As a mark of respect the Australian men's team wore black armbands in the final of their Olympic test event in London.My son played hockey and watching the amount of players who get hit especially in the head i have always wondered why they don't wear protective gear especially helmets.Its a bloody dangerous game.Those balls are as hard as rocks......When you see what ice hockey players wear it seems bazaar that grass hockey players don't at least wear a light weight helmet....Maybe the death of Lizzie Watkins might change that ...RIP
ReplyIt also happened at an Auckland girls school some years ago but fortunately the student survived, be it with brain damage. Maybe they should wear helmets.
ReplyDangerous game, several players I know have been seriously injured by sticks or balls, one, a National representative player took a full swing to the face, made a right mess.
ReplyCan't comprehend the thumbs down for Adam's comments, eloquent words from him.
1 ReplyYou are so right Ace....I should have added that I am really feeling for the family and friends at this time but this type of attention grabbing headline gets me wound up. Yahoo could have been a bit more sensitive.

NEW ROCHELLE can boast far fewer corporate headquarters than communities like Armonk, Purchase or White Plains. But the city had a definite appeal for Shark Products Inc., a manufacturer of hair-care products formulated for black consumers, which moved its corporate headquarters here from Brooklyn in March.
"We had an 18-month search process," said the company's president, Brian K. Marks. "We wanted to be close to New York City, because we were taking some employees with us from Brooklyn. Westchester was desirable, because we were able to benefit from corporate downsizing at places like Kraft General Foodsand I.B.M.
"While New Rochelle did not give us any incentives to relocate, because we leased our space, it was a beneficial tax move. Close to 80 percent of our work force is minority, and we want to be able to attract skilled minority candidates, which was a plus factor for New Rochelle."
Shark's personnel manager, Eleanor Osborn, added: "It has definitely been easy to find good employees here. Where we were located in the city created problems. It was hard to bring employees in there, and difficult for them to get there."

Days To Maturity: Quinoa sprouts are beautiful and delicious. Best when less than a day and a half sprouted as they retain their crunchy texture and flavor. Longer growth changes the consistency to a much softer sprout. Comments: Quinoa is one of the most digestable grains with a high protien content and great nutritional value. It is also a good source of dietary fiber and is effective as a digestive aid. |

Pittsburgh Wedding Photography at St. Joan of Arc Church and Rolling Hills Country Club
Sarah and Mike were married one month ago today in a beautiful ceremony at St. Joan of Arc Church in Pittsburgh's South Hills. This is my last wedding to photograph this season and I can't think of a nicer one to wrap up 2012. A big thanks to Alex and Michelle who started at Sarah's parents' home where she and her bridesmaids were getting ready. They did an awesome job documenting everything before I met up with them at the church. I really like the images of Sarah's dog in a dress and her flower girls playing dress up in heels.

These days, news about the international crisis over Iran's nuclear program is coming at us at a rapid and often bewildering pace. In the last month alone, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has called Israel a "cancer tumor" that "should be cut off," vowed to never sway from Iran's nuclear course, dismissed nuclear weapons as a "sin," and, just today, welcomed U.S. President Barack Obama's call for toning down all this war talk. It's enough to give any observer a good case of whiplash.
That's why we're taking a step back from the flurry of breaking news and introducing a regular Passport feature to track the drumbeats to war and take the temperature of the major players in the drama. For each post, we'll choose one or more data points or news stories and assign a score based on the following scale:
1. All Quiet on the Eastern Front
2. Natanz to Worry About
3. Nukes of Hazard
4. Seeing Red Lines
5. Bombs Away!
Two stories dominated the news cycle today on Iran. For starters, the United States reportedly offered to give Israel arms that could help in a strike on Iran's nuclear facilities (though the White House denied it):
In particular, it would offer bunker-busting bombs more powerful than those currently possessed by Israel, which would allow the Jewish state to target Iranian facilities even under solid rock.
An Israeli official also claimed that new satellite images provide fresh evidence that Iran is trying to conceal its development of a nuclear weapon:
On Wednesday, pictures provided by unspecified member countries to the International Atomic Energy Agency -- the U.N. nuclear agency -- appear to show trucks and earth-moving vehicles at Iran's Parchin military site. Diplomats said the images suggested the trucks could be carting away radioactive material created in nuclear testing.
Verdict: In the end, Isaac's Newton's Third Law applied today -- for every action there was an equal and opposite reaction. AFP reported that the United States had offered to supply Israel with advanced weaponry in exchange for Israel committing to not attack Iran this year. But other Israeli officials are denying that there were any conditions attached to the deal. The satellite imagery of activities at Parchin put a damper on the news that Iran had decided to let inspectors visit the military installation. And even as Israel cautiously welcomes a resumption of big-power nuclear talks with Iran, Iran's envoy to France declared that Iran will not negotiate on its right to enrich uranium -- a critical sticking point. For all these reasons, we're going with Nukes of Hazard.
Feel free to nominate any Iran Watch stories you think we should be highlighting. E-mail Uri [dot] Friedman [at] foreignpolicy.com
It is incorrect to claim that the USA "offered" to supply bunker-busters to Israel.
The Israeli press are reporting this very differently i.e. that Netanyahu requested those bunker busters, and Obama said in reply: Go talk to Panetta.
And as for the second report: Heavy vehicles at a miitary research facility!
Gosh! That's unique, isn't it?
Obviously the Iranians have something to hide because - let's face it - who needs heavy vehicles at a military research facility?
It's earth-moving vehicles. And trucks carting away soil. Just a couple days after they denied the inspectors access to the facility, and a couple weeks before their visit.
Why would Iran be carting away soil before the inspectors visit? Can you think of any realistic explanation?
Parchin military complex was visited by IAEA inspectors twice in 2005, they took soil and other samples at the time and found nothing.
The important point is that the alleged experiements occured in pre-2003, and the inspectors found nothing in the earth samples in 2005. Therefore the presence of earth moving equipment now would be irrelevent to their investigation.
The IAEA allegations against the site come from a labtop given to them by "unnamed intelligence sources" (read Israel). This evidence was so problematic and unreliable that the previous IAEA director refused to include it in his reports.
The currect IAEA director is squarely on the side of the US and her western allies and far more willing to accept as fact this so called "evidence". He has been admonished by Iran, China, Russia and other members of the non-aligned movement for not following the rigorous standards of reporting and information sharing that he is obligated to follow.
anything to deny it eh johnboy....???? lol...
when the shit hits the fan, people should be blaming the likes of you and your stupid enablers for popularizing iran and fetishizing their feigned innocence ...
moron is the PERFECT word for you.
Israeli attack upon is a global catastrophe
How about, just for one moment, considering the facts? Or do they matter at all in the drumbeat for a most disastrous new war?
Iran with no nuclear weapons is zero military threat against nuclear superpower Israel.
Israel (which refuses to sign or abide by the NPT) is in possession of many hundreds of nuclear warheads. More importantly, it possesses the most advanced delivery systems in the world including nuclear powered ballistic missile firing submarines. A nation with zero nuclear weapons does not attack another with hundreds. Even if (a hypothetical) Iran did some day acquire a nuclear weapon (to secure itself from vicarious nuclear attack) it could never use it against Israel because of the intertwined nature of the Palestinian and Israeli populations. Al-Aqsa Mosque, the third holiest site in world Islam is in Jerusalem and they would never risk its destruction.
But lets just ignore all of that. I ask all the Zionist posters howling for war, to seriously consider the CONSEQUENCES of an Israeli attack.
If you are paying attention, Syria is currently and steadily sliding into chaos. What originally was a movement in support of democracy is now steadily moving into a sectarian conflict between the Shiia and the Sunni. The Saudis are going to finance weapons for the insurgency. The Shiia of Lebanon and Iran are fearful of major political loss in this, and reluctantly but to date resolutely, continue to back Al-Assad. A war against Iran initiated by Israel would spread to our interests in about half an hour. Iran would certainly hit back to the best their abilities. Prices for petroleum would certainly skyrocket to who knows what level, collapsing our fragile economy like a house of cards. Same for the whole world's economy for the same reasons. Mass chaos from Lebanon to Pakistan. Things quickly spiral out of control. Afghanistan explodes. Al-Qaeda claps its hands in glee in Yemen and Somalia. China and Russia get quite hostile. Radioactive clouds drift eastward over India. And of course in this event, Iran would conclude that it must quickly obtain a nuclear WMD capability. Achieving exactly what you claim you want to avoid!
Great! An Israeli attack slams the whole world into what? A bridge too far? Total global chaos?
Choose your own apocalyptic metaphors. Israel's current political support in the US could evaporate literally overnight.
wheres the meir dagan article already? LOL...come on FP!
Wait till that comes out tmorrow or something...hahahah...meir dagan is many things, but above all, he was head spymaster for israel for near a decade...you think he's going to air his true thoughts on iran so publicly on television? As many israelis know, these days, dagan is aiming for a career in politics, and he may be thinking if he endears himself to obama, he will get support to try to topple bibi...they can certainly try...it wont work, but they can go for it...
the other possibility is that dagan is saying one thing to tamp down expectations of a strike and then.....bammo!
either way, I would not believe one word from dagan's mouth on so sensitive a subject and certainly not in so public of a way...
can't wait for FP to be allllll over it though...salivating...with all waltz' little "I'm really pro israel cause I care so much" crowd...LOL....
Ambassador of Death: Attack of the Drones
Ambassador of Death: Attack of the Drones.
In our world and our time, Drones (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles), which were experimentally manufactured in 1916, were first armed in order to attempt to kill Osama bin Laden.
They were and still are proven to be unreliable due to the fact that their target abilities are far from surgical precision, they are unstable when flying in less than perfect weather and they crash very often. In addition, loss of communication with these drones is one of the many technical issues that lead to their sub par performance. After consideration, President Clinton decided to shut down the project.
Later on, Bush reopened the project, refinanced it and made used of these drones 44 times, despite the acknowledgement of the performance reports. The attacks evidently lead to casualties; bodies were often hidden and buried by troops on the ground.
However, for now, most drones aren't exploited for military purpose. They are mostly used for surveillance, reconnaissance, news reporting, border patrolling, intelligence and inspection.
As such, most industrialized countries such as China, France, United Kingdom, Germany, Russia, India, Canada, Australia, Pakistan, Japan and Brazil do "harvest" drones. Some of the super drones have even been baptized. Israel named theirs Heron; the United States upgraded their Predator with the Avenger; and, last but not least, Iran named theirs Karrar, which is Farsi for Striker. President Ahmadinejad infamously nicknamed his Persian Menace: the Ambassador of Death.
Episode X : The Persian Menace.
Do not let the Ambassador of Death mislead you into being alarmed. The Ambassador of Death is not Darth Vader's vehicle of choice. This drone is intended for, and I quote: "Peace and Friendship". Logically, why should we be nervous over Iran since they have not initiated any attack towards any other country in over 200 years? And yes, the Persian Gulf War has been taken in consideration when making that statement.
That being said, it evidently is not the case when shifting our attention towards the previously mentioned pro-drone countries. Over 239 drone strikes were ordered under the Obama administration. Many of these attacks were carried out against the advice of U.S. Officials and Diplomats. In fact, that tendency has led the Obama Administration of being responsible for at least 85% of drone strikes around the world, particularly in Pakistan.
This is the same Obama that won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009. Even then, his addition seems unsuited and undeserved, when one remembers past laureates.
As mentioned in a previous article of mine, the five countries (United Kingdom, United States, France, Russia and China) that have secured permanent United Nation seats are also the top global arm dealers. These same countries have been accusing Iran of secretly building nuclear weapons and pressuring them to halt their nuclear program.
It is important to understand or remember that the U.S. did not only assist but also coordinated the launch of the Iranian Nuclear Program in the 50s. This program was maintained for decades, until the 1979 revolution.
This support was even symbolized and categorized as the "Atoms for Peace" Program, implemented in 1953 by Eisenhower. Let's acknowledge that a program would not be complete without an appropriate inaugural speech. And where else but at the United Nation General Assembly can a prestigious one take place? In this case, the cleverly named "Atoms for Peace" speech quickly followed Eisenhower's "Chance for Peace" speech.
All this backing did result in the inception of Iran's first nuclear power plant, which was completed and activated thanks to Russian assistance, in 2011.
The irony! The Atoms for Peace Program's main principle was to reassure the world during the Cold War (between 1945 and 1991). Sarcastically, the Russians presided over its closing ceremony.
As a counter attack, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) board, nations and multinational entities officially reprimanded and sanctioned Iran. This judgment was internationally supported by detailed tangible and evidence. The Iranian authorities, or should I say THE Iranian Authority, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Hosseini khamenei, has not yet been successfully coerced by the international pressure. The U.N. inspectors can come and go as often as necessary, it's all in good faith, from both parties.
Remember, it's a ll about Peace and Friendship.
"Look up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane… No, it's a drone!"
The Empire Will Strike Back. It is just a question on which Empire will strike first.
Guess who's building nuclear power plants now?
UMMMM, Obama will still be the one to handle Foreign affairs.....not Biden. Biden can only offer up suggestions, and n the end it is up to Obama to take it, in which he will not, because he will handle it just the way he wants to, and you can believe that those Muslims who are currently working on the Obama campaign....you know, Obama's close friends from College.....Do you really want to see these people in the white house. If you do, then you are a traitor to the US..

He did a half assed job of it. Osama was on our side fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan. The Reagan administration really stepped up support for the Mujhahidine and kicked some Russian butt. Now since old Osama turned on us like a rabid dog, he has to be put down like a rabid dog..

An extra thick urethane core provides extra cushioning and insulates against heat and road noise. The water-resistant layer and the anti-stain treatment guarantee long-lasting good looks.
Have you ever thought of how we unconsciously let our feet tell us where we are? Hard, rough surfaces tell us that we are in a cityscape. Hard smooth surface says warehouse or low-price store. Soft surfaces tell us that we are in a comfortable, welcoming and luxurious environment. The deeper the tuft of the mat, the more comfortable we feel. The mats you choose for your car are not only, not even foremost, judged by sight. Our judgment of mats is much deeper than that, going all the way down to the deepest instincts of our species. The feeling mats give to our feet determines our comfort level. Thus Lloyd LUXE Mats is an essential accessory if you want to upgrade your car to true luxury. Add the logo of your choice from Lloyd's extensive, licensed library of logos for car brands and models, for military and for lifestyles. Or personalize your mats with lettering of your choice. Only embroidered appliqué logos are available for the LUXE mats, as they are too thick to enable direct embroidery to be sewn into the mats. For customers who want their own lettering, a leather patch can be recessed into the pile. The patch accomodates up to three embossed letters.
Lloyd Mats has a custom mat pattern for virtually every vehicle sold in the US since 1960. The patterns are developed by Lloyd Mats for the best possible fit. The patterns are digitized and the mats are cut using AutoCAD ultrasonic cutting technology to ensure perfect fit to your vehicle, with the Lloyd mats often covering a slightly larger floor area than the mats provided by the car manufacturer.
Note: These mats are made to order and not returnable, except for manufacturing errors. It is not a manufacturing error that the Lloyd Mat is slightly bigger than the OEM mats. Always test fit the mats before you file a complaint on a suspected misfit. In 99.9% of all cases you will find that the Lloyd Mat fits better than the original mat.
Lloyd Mats® (Lloyd) is the largest U.S. manufacturer of custom fit floor mats. The company started business in 1974. In 1999 Lloyd's employees purchased 100% of Lloyd's shares under a qualified Employee Stock Ownership Program. This makes for unsurpassed customer service and attention to detail, with every employee taking responsibility for his or her work as any good business owner does. Lloyd Mats are all made in a large plant in Los Angeles, California. Mat patterns are digitized and the mats are cut to perfect custom fit using AutoCAD controlled, ultrasonic cutting equipment. Lloyd has a pattern for virtually every make and model of car, truck or van sold in the United States from 1960 to the present. Development of mat and embroidery computer programs and the actual manufacture of the mats and the mat embroidery are all performed in Lloyd's plant, to ensure that all patterns and mats meet the high and strict quality standards that have made Lloyd Mats the undisputed leader in the custom car mat industry.

Mats look and feel good. The logo on the mats also appears to be of good quality. Mats fit perfectly and did not smell at all, did not need to "air -freshen" then before installation. Color was not exactly what I envisioned on my laptop screen, but nothing to complain. I'm ready to buy other similar products from here.
I am truly impressed by the fit and finish of these mats and the fact that they were made in the US. The feel of the Velourtex is soft and also durable at the same time. For a made to order item, the service was fast. The mats were well packaged, shipping flat to avoid folds or creases. The mats are on the expensive side, but worth the investment.
It was so nice to be able to order custom floor mats for my Ford Ranger that I'm going to order another set. I love the options on logo design and color, nice touch. I highly recommend CARiD to anyone looking for quality products. and service.
Love my new floor mats...they fit perfectly and look great! They stay firmly in place just as advertized....sure beats the store bought clear mats that move all over and barely cover the carpet floor mats! These are terrific and highly recommend this store...the shipping time was rapid fast and packaged beautifully! I have already referred some friends who have admired my new floor mats! Thanks kindly! :)
These mats do not disappoint. The pictures on the web site do not do them enough justice. I am thoroughly pleased and impressed. I only feel saddened to step on them with shoes that may even be dusty now! The quality and service are excellent. I was especially impressed to see that about 9 different people signed off on a "checklist" to make sure I received exactly what I had ordered. I will definitely be bringing my business back here again!

Anarcho-Syndicalist Review is an independent syndicalist magazine, published since May 1, 1986 (originally Libertarian Labor Review). ASR is an independent forum for non-sectarian, critical, informed and constructive discussion of anarcho-syndicalist theory and practice. We are not affiliated with or sponsored by any organization.
Information on our current issue is available here.
Our outlook is internationalist. We stand in solidarity with working people everywhere, and in particular with those who, rejecting both state capitalism and state socialism as proven threats to the health of people and planet alike, seek peace and justice for themselves and their fellow workers through international labor solidarity. This is our official website.
We can be reached at anarchosyndicalistreview [at] gmail.com, or PO Box 42531, Philadelphia PA 19101.
Site under (re)construction
Our original web site (syndicalist.org) has been hijacked, and our web hosting service's hard drive was fried, destroying our web site. We are in the process of rebuilding this site. We are adding content day by day and are working on restoring full functionality. If there are any readers who have an understanding of how WordPress works, or who can refer us to reliable resources on how to use it, we would very much appreciate this assistance. Our web host service "supports" only WordPress, but has been unable to render substantive assistance in rebuilding the site or figuring out how to restore basic functionality or features.
The Shopping Cart is now operational, allowing you to purchase the current issue or any back issue of ASR, along with a variety of books, pamphlets and buttons. However, it is necessary to make sure that you follow the steps all the way through to payment, or the transaction will not go through.

We Had Hoped: Starting Over
He asked them, "What are you discussing so intently as you walk along?"
They stopped short, sadness written across their faces. Then one of them, named Cleopas, replied, "You must be the only person in Jerusalem who hasn't heard about all the things that have happened there the last few days.""What things?""The things that happened to Jesus, the man from Nazareth," they said. "He was a prophet who did powerful miracles, and he was a mighty teacher in the eyes of God and all the people. But our leading priests and other religious leaders handed him over to be condemned to death, and they crucified him. We had hoped he was the Messiah who had come to rescue Israel."
- Luke 24:17-21
We had hoped. Think about how sad those words are. Think about all that they contain.
Decades ago, my parents left a cult they had been in for many years. They had to deal with the idea of "wasted years," that an organization they had poured their lives into (and got married in) was not what they thought it was, that their trusted leaders were not who they said they were. What do you trust, after something like that? Where do you begin to pick up the pieces?
And yet I think it was even worse for the disciples. Some of them were cautious, skeptical people, not easily taken in (Look at Thomas and his continual search for empirical evidence), and yet they had followed this man. They had seen him do things no human could do, heard him speak about things no human could have known about. Surely this man was one of God's prophets! Surely something big was about to happen, and they were in on the ground floor!
For three years they followed this man without reservation, leaving behind careers, family, homes, possessions. For three years they watched him do the impossible, heard him say the inexplicable, and tried to figure it all out. And then -- and then -- he died.
All their dreams, all their prayers, dying on that instrument of Roman torture with their leader. It was all over.
How do you start over after something like that? A broken, scattered band, the former followers of Jesus began to go their separate ways, trying desperately to figure out the question: What now?
Writing decades later, Paul says it best. "...If Christ has not been raised, then all our preaching is useless, and your faith is useless. ...And if Christ has not been raised, then your faith is useless and you are still guilty of your sins. In that case, all who have died believing in Christ are lost! And if our hope in Christ is only for this life, we are more to be pitied than anyone in the world."
Have you ever felt like you lost all hope? How do you imagine the disciples felt after Jesus died? How do you think they felt when he rose again? How do we remind ourselves that God makes all things work together for the good of those who love him?

We were pretty sure Coco would never learn to walk, we all just wanted to snuggle her all the time.
She is the queen of invading personal space. Remember THIS POST?
She doesn't want to be left out of anything. Remember when Flat Reese came to visit?
This is the picture we submitted to our blog illustrator...and as you can see from our header, she is a main star of this blog!!
We love her quirky personality...and if she is cold, she will find a way to get warm.
Speaking of quirky, her strange love affair with our special needs kitty Pete continues to make us laugh. Pete is less than amused, obviously.
So go and vote for Coco....and pretty please leave a comment on Life with the Dietrich's after your vote!
