Did we ever come to a conclusion about arming campus police?
ISU just invested in a security alert system, which emails or texts students whenever there is an emergency. Not sure this would do much in a school shooting, but it may protect incidents such as Va Tech, where the shooter was loose after the murder in the dorm room.
YIKES! I did an MS at N. Illinois after my time at ISU.... I never really felt unsafe there, but the crazies can be anywhere

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. Thomas Jefferson, 1802

I got a phone call from it last week when they tested it, so I guess it's ready.

I believe the DoR is putting cameras in the residence halls.

Heh, all you ever have to do at any dorm is wait for someone to open a door for you. It's not that hard to get anywhere if you really want to on campus.
this is insane.. all of these things are gettin closer and closer
Iowa State: Anyone who's a true college basketball fan needs to see a game at Hilton Coliseum. Nice is in the DNA of Iowans and the fans here are particularly gracious -- even when the home team loses but gives a great effort, they are appreciative. ESPN.com picked Hilton Coliseum as the "Hot Arena" in the Big 12...coaches in the league noted that, "regardless of talent, the Cyclones have a home court like no other."
terribly sad stuff. my prayers are with everyone in De Kalb.
ISU license plates, just $50 at: http://www.iamvd.com/ovs/plates/index.htm "I am so proud to be your football coach!" - Paul Rhoads HOI-BALL!!!
I talked to my brother who's at ISU (Illinois State University, for all you non-Illinoisians), and he said from what information is available, luckily nobody we know was involved.. That being said, those who were caught in it, prayers are with them and their families.
This was way too close to home for me. I was probably 20 miles east of the shooting this afternoon.
According to my MSN home page, there are 6 dead (including the gunman) and 16 wounded. All students. This is terrible. But yes, the ISU police are armed and the alert system is working (I've recieved 3 test messages so far)
Chuck Lidell: I paint my toenails with pink and black polish. Problem is, I get more paint on my toes and on the carpet than on my nails. Any advice? Maria Sharapova: Don't you beat up other guys for a living? I don't know how to answer this.

Nov 29 2012 by Philip Kirkbride, Ormskirk Advertiser
DEREK GOULDING returns to his old stomping ground this weekend as Burscough face Prescot Cables.
Goulding was the first ever manager of AFC Liverpool, who ground share with Cables, and now in charge of the Linnets the manager will hope for good fortune on his return.
Burscough returned to winning ways on Tuesday night as they progressed through to the next round of the Doodson Sports Cup with a 2-1 win over Ramsbottom United.
Early goals from Phil Clarke and Niall Cummins handed the Greens the lead and though Ramsbottom replied midway through the second half, Goulding's men held on for the victory.
The midweek win was an ideal response following the disappointment of last Saturday's 3-0 home defeat to New Mills.
There was also defeat for this weekend's opponents Prescot who lost out 2-0 to high-flying Clitheroe, despite making a wealth of chances.
Cables boss Dave Powell, who has watched Burscough in action recently, is pursuing a new striker and hopes to have him in the squad for Saturday's game at Valerie Park.
"We are trying to bring in another forward," revealed Powell.
"Getting someone to come down is difficult but coming to us, they can put themselves in the shop window.
"We have got the feelers out at the moment and have seven days' notice on a striker.
"We have got options in the squad but we don't have that physical targetman. We are working hard to bring that type of player in."

Contact State of Michigan ABATE Awareness Officer:
March 2014
Awareness Support Form here
JUSTICE FOR FALLEN RIDERS STILL FALL SHORT...I have been following 2 cases for the past several months. Knowing what these families have been through and seeing the injustice in the final outcome is a blow to everything ABATE has worked for. I guess it's time to head to Lansing to get a better understanding on the laws they write.
The first case... Mark Cousineau (November Rider)
I've been involved with the family since they contacted ABATE. Their generous donations to the awareness cause will never be forgotten. But, their story doesn't end here. The verdict of their fathers' loss has been finalized. The sentence to the driver: Being charged with Moving Infraction Causing Death and will be sentenced under a 9 month delay of sentence. During the 9 months, his behavior will be monitored. If he complies during the 9 months, the charge will be reduced to RECKLESS DRIVING!
The second case... Monroe County, MI
This father of twin 3 year olds was killed while riding to work. His wife reached out to ABATE as well. Her family has placed yard signs throughout the county to make sure this doesn't happen to others. Her love for her husband is continuing through what the awareness is teaching. The verdict for this case is finalized. The sentence for the driver: $3,000 fine. 30 days in jail immediately with 1 year probation; which includes grief counseling, alcohol/drug monitoring. NO OTHER CHARGES!
In the past year ABATE Awareness has made an impact in every community. Our effort has not been overlooked. But this is just the beginning... We need every member of ABATE to stand up and do their part. REMEMBER ONE THING: This could have been one of your family members or friends who lost their lives by a driver who "DIDN'T SEE THEM".
Be safe and ride free,
HAPPY NEW YEAR........... 2014 has arrived. The awareness program is ready to make a solid impact in Michigan once again. I want to again "THANK" all coordinators and instructors for their hard work last year. The word is getting out with positive influence in the state.
Now........ back to business, as usual. The board has voted and approved the purchase of yard signs for the entire state; having the signs available for every member and the public to purchase will help promote safety and education in Michigan. An inexpensive way to know that we can ride without fear of others not looking out for us.
Each region will have an allotment of signs at their disposal. The signs will be handed out in Midland at the state seminar to your RC's or Awareness Coordinator. Make sure that you get your signs TODAY!
Pricing for the yard signs:
$7.00 for ABATE members
$10.00 for non-members/general public
*Bulk pricing is available
The focus is to emphasize EDUCATION and SAFETY throughout the state. Making sure that we show all Representatives in Lansing and the public that we are teaching motorcycle awareness in a positive way. Having "The Choice" in Michigan takes all regions to work together. The push is to get the "Look Twice" signs out there in every location, if possible.
ABATE of MICHIGAN must continue to move forward and make an impact throughout the state. Awareness needs to be the heart and soul of this organization. New ideas and concepts are what we need to make this happen.
For any members that will be at the seminar........... MIDLAND WEEKEND CRAZY PRICE!!!!!
Call for details..................................
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY BIKER NEW YEAR TO ALL, from my family to yours... It's been a very busy 2013 for the awareness program. We've done some great things to reach out to the public in positive ways; from new ideas of awareness logos on buses, to regions getting awareness programs off the ground. Everyone needs to be proud of all their accomplishments. It takes blood, sweat and tears to make this work. I, personally, want to "THANK" all the members for their continued efforts on making ABATE Awareness Program a big success.
Looking back on my first year as State Awareness Director, I am so proud to be working with such devoted volunteers. Our commitment shows solidly in all the communities in Michigan and other states. I can't wait for 2014...
BUT FIRST, we need to wrap up this year.
TO ALL RC'S AND AWARENESS COORDINATORS... I need to get a count of students taught in your regions from this year. Also, any additional events or public advertising your regions accomplished to promote awareness. Please email them to me by DEC. 31st... email@example.com.
I am getting very excited to see what 2014 has in store for our awareness program. Moving forward and striving to reach for new heights is the plan for us all. I am always looking for new ideas and concepts to make this program the best it can be. So, if anyone has anything that will make us stronger, please contact me with your thoughts. We are a TEAM … not individuals when it comes to motorcycle awareness.
See you in Midland,
This is true when we get a call from a family that lost their DAD in a motorcycle crash. Mark Cousineau was an attentive father to his family. He was a mentor, coach, therapist and protector that loved his family more than life itself. With 3 loving children and 5 special grandchildren, Mark was a SUPERHERO. His family has lost the first love of their lives.
He was an easy going, simple man that everyone loved to be around. People enjoyed his company and listened to his advice. Riding gave him a spiritual freedom that he enjoyed. But, the bond for his family was always first. He was a coach to all the youth in his community. Giving back and never thinking twice about it.
Mark was killed on August 21, 2013 when a driver pulled out in front of him. He was riding that day to celebrate his dad's birthday, a man he lost in 1983. Riding gave him the chance to reflect on his own father and be one with his thoughts. But that all changed in an instant. Mark and his father were both 51 years of age when they left this life to be together again.
WHY AM I WRITING ABOUT THIS? ...Mark's family contacted ABATE to make a donation to the Motorcycle Awareness Program. By making this donation Mark's family wants to do their part to get the word out to help educate the public so perhaps other families would not have to endure this type of tragic loss of a loved one.
This is a story that we all know so well… But, this family were NOT members of ABATE. They knew about our "LOOK TWICE, SAVE A LIFE" slogan, but had no understanding of what ABATE was about. Mark's family should be a true inspiration to us all. This is the first time ABATE of MI has ever received a donation from a fallen rider. I have always believed that our actions are vital to this Awareness program. All the hard work IS making an impact in our local communities. Having a positive influence with riders and drivers is essential in everything we do. ABATE members should be proud to be part of this great organization…With that in mind, let's welcome our 2 NEWEST MEMBERS… Beverly Olsen (Mark's Mom) and Allison Modrzynski (Mark's Daughter).
Ride safe and be free,
AWARENESS AND FAMILIES...No matter how we look at it, these two go hand in hand. Being aware of how we teach our families is an everyday lesson. We all want to make sure that every generation has the knowledge to know right from wrong, to understand that families are essential in their lives and by making a difference in the world. In a way, ABATE does that by way of our legislative, judicial and the awareness teams. We stand, as ONE FAMILY, to make an impact on the present and future motorcyclists everywhere. We are not blood related....... well, some of us are. (LOL).... But, we all come together as a family when one goes down or needs a small favor. We are all blessed to have a family like we have with ABATE.
With the ABATE Awareness Team, we go the extra mile to make sure that the general public understands the why's and how's of riding by focusing on every family member from the youngest to the oldest. From the new drivers to the professional drivers, we all need additional education. Making people AWARE of everything around them is a task, in itself. So, let's make sure we say a big THANK YOU to our family members who take the time to go to driver's education classes, sit in the heat at fairs/events or who get in front of their own regions to talk about the Awareness program. Without their support and hard work, we would never be able to enjoy a safe ride around the block... YOU ROCK!!!!
A final note to all Awareness Coordinators/Directors and RC's... For additional materials, please go to www.michigan.gov/ohsp. There are FREE Traffic Safety Materials that you can order to use for your regions...Can't pass this up.
Be Safe and Ride Free,
LOOK TWICE, SAVING OUR LIVES... Another month has gone by and more issues with drivers NOT looking out for riders. Region 18 had one of our own involved with a driver, who lacked the ability of paying attention to bikers on the road. Tim Tipton (Region 18 Awareness Instructor) was run off the road by a driver who pulled out in front of him. Tim hit the side of the vehicle before ending up in a ditch. He received road rashes and bruised ribs/hips from this idiot driver... And you can guess what the driver said: "I DIDN'T SEE HIM." Really??????. Tim had a bright orange awareness shirt ON. Even with florescent colors on, these idiot drivers are still lacking the understanding of LOOKING TWICE.
I am getting to the point that ABATE must get involved with the local court systems and EDUCATE them with the "RIGHT OF WAY BILL". It is up to all members to be aware of what this bill is about. Region 18 is working diligently, by making calls to the local prosecuting attorney, to make sure this bill is ENFORCED in the recent crashes/fatalities in Monroe County. If we don't push for this action......... WHO WILL?.
I see so many ABATE regions in this state that only have a handful of members who are involved with Awareness. This lack of interest is making our focus harder to manage. It takes more than a few to make this awareness program work. GET INVOLVED!!!!!!
SUMMER IS HEATING UP...................... Awareness and safety continues to be, in the forefront of all ABATE members thoughts. Keeping fatalities down in the state is our top priority. In doing so, we must learn to protect ourselves first. Here are some tips to make sure you are ready to ride in the heat of the summer:
1. RIDING WITH ANOTHER BIKE- Having an additional bike on the road gives oncoming traffic more to view. As well as, giving you security if any problems occur with your bike or any other issues that may arise.
2. LIQUIDS- Make sure you have a water bottle or ice available when out on a long ride. Dehydration is a big factor while riding in the heat. Keeping fluids in your body keeps you more alert and responsive. Let's make sure we are able to focus on road issues.
3. YOUR BIKE- Make sure your bikes maintenance is updated. Tires are well inflated, chains lubed, cables are tied up and away from any moving parts, all bolts tightened, etc. Let's be sure our bikes are safe on the road for ourselves and everyone else.
4. CLOTHING- Make sure to have the right attire for the weather conditions you will be facing. Think ahead on what you need and don't over dress. Light colored clothing keeps you cooler longer and more visible.
EDUCATE the public by showing them we are a well educated organization. Showing them we care for ourselves and everyone around us makes a strong impression. Let's be the leaders in Michigan for other groups to follow.................................
I also want to let everyone know that the STATE AWARENESS LOGO CONTEST is now over. Do to the lack of interest (not one entry was submitted), I will be working on a design for the state.
THE DANGER IS STILL AMONG US.................. As the State Awareness Coordinator, I read about accidents involving vehicles and motorcycles way too much. Every region has their fill of them. But, beginning June 2, 2013, Region 18 has had more than our fair share. During the span of 4 days, we had 2 fatalities and 1 with severe injuries.
WHY IS THIS SO IMPORTANT TO SHARE???? ........ All these accidents involved 16 and 17 year old drivers. Two of these were the result of turning left in front of the motorcycles and one by crossing over the center line. As an instructor to these new drivers, we preach to them about paying more attention to their surroundings and to LOOK TWICE or even THREE TIMES. The consequences for these actions must be enforced. Even the older drivers must be aware of the laws, including THE RIGHT OF WAY BILL. Continuing to educate the public is our main focus. Every member should have an understanding about how the awareness program operates and what is taught in these driving schools.
I know we can't reach everyone, but every region should make a valiant effort to, at least, educate their members. What would it take to make ABATE members WAKE UP?..... Losing another one of our own? ......... Or having ourselves being crippled for life?
Remember it takes hard work to make things happen. Making ABATE Awareness a TEAM program is the focus on all members. Let's show we can work together for a safer summer............ "UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL."
Be safe & ride free,
Now that May is in our rearview mirror, we need to keep our focus on EDUCATING the public. We, as ABATE members, need to show others the importance of looking twice while on the roads. Not just looking, but to make sure talking and texting on the phones are not to be used while driving.
Teaching the young drivers is simple. The adults and elderly are the next focus to our class teachings. How do we do that? By making sure we get our faces in the public eye at festivals and fairs this year. Getting the chance to be face to face with the general public and educating them about what awareness is doing to make it safe for all of us. ABATE members must work TOGETHER. Don't EXPECT your brothers and sisters to do it all. We are an organization that must become a one, solid unit to show others we do care.
Remember........... ABATE is working hard on making sure every rider is ENDORSED. Being leaders are what we need to be. Showing the new and seasonal riders that getting the "CY" on their license can save money, as well as, their lives. It's a benefit to us all.
Show your pride in your organization! Every ABATE member should have a yard sign up. This is a great way to show our communities we are not all about CHOICE, but more about CHOOSING to make a difference.
Be safe and ride on,
MAY is Motorcycle Awareness Month!...............
We finally made it. Spring has somewhat sprung. I hope everyone has focused on what it takes to make sure we, as ABATE members, are getting the word out to the general public about watching out for motorcycles.
The Proclamations should be in the hands of all local and county commissioners by now. Make sure to have several ABATE members there for representation and to accept the proclamation. It's a great opportunity to get one on one with your elected officials and show them we are an organization that cares.
Don't forget about PSA's for your local radio stations. Make sure they can help by giving us 20-30 second spots on their airways. All information is available on the ABATE website under the Awareness link.
Yard signs should be out in EVERYONE'S front yards! If you don't have one........ GET ONE! They are only $10. An inexpensive cost compared to your life.
The next agenda for ABATE members is to educate ourselves and others on getting Motorcycle ENDORSEMENTS on our licenses. There are over 48,000 non-endorsed riders in Michigan. Are you one of them? Get to the nearest riders safety class and get it. No more excuses! And I've heard all the stories:....... Been riding for years............... Why do I need to get one now................. I don't have the time............ It's only for the new riders........................ Etc.
COUNTDOWN BEGINS.............. It might be April, but May is right around the corner. For ABATE, it's the beginning of Motorcycle Awareness month. Not only do we focus on Proclamations to all commissioners in our regions, but we need to get ready to move forward in all other venues.
PSA (Public Service Announcements) are a great way to get the word out to the general public. Everyone has radio stations in their area. It doesn't take much to just ask for them to put a 20-30 second spot on their stations.
Yard signs and other materials are another way to get our point across to the public. Making an effort to put our products in the EYES of others is essential. Awareness is not that hard to do. Every region will have rides or events in May. Make sure you have your materials available.
One important factor is to understand that EDUCATION is key to prevention.
Every ABATE member should be knowledgeable in the political and awareness programs and be able to show others how they are working for us all. We are a TEAM organization. Let's show that we are ONE. Working together is our main goal.
Also, be sure to get your CRAYONS and MARKERS out…. The Awareness Logo Contest is still going on!
What's the definition of AWARENESS: the state or condition of being aware; having knowledge; consciousness.
That is why EDUCATION is so important. Our instructors and awareness teams are always teaching and getting the word out. But, we cannot do it alone. Every MEMBER should have the ability to educate the public about awareness. Taking the time to go to one of the classes should be a top priority. Ask your regional awareness director when the next driving class is or what you can do to help get involved. Never stop learning!
One way to get involved is through Proclamations. This is a great way to introduce yourself to your town, city or county commissioners. Making everyone aware that May is Motorcycle Awareness Month. It's a great way to represent Abate in a positive way. Showing them that we do care and that we want to educate the public about motorcyclists. Proclamations are an easy presentation to the local commissioners. Plus, IT'S FREE! ............ (see the form or ask for an attachment to be sent to you).
Awareness program consists of many educational materials as well. Yard signs, wristbands, key chains, pens and tri-folds are some of the things we offer. These materials are for the classrooms and the general public. So, let's make sure to stay in the face of your communities.
Finally....... Get your creative minds in gear. ABATE State Awareness Logo contest is now on!
Spring is near and be safe.
Designating May as Motorcycle Awareness Month
WHEREAS, the Month of May is the nationally recognized month motorcycles become more prevalent on our streets, the need to be aware of their presence is of the most urgency; and
WHEREAS, Motorcycle Awareness Month is designed to increase public awareness about motorcycles; encourage their safe and proper use among motorcycle riders; is worth special recognition; and
WHEREAS, and overwhelming number of car-motorcycle accidents could be avoided with due regard, respect, and awareness of motorcycles on the streets and intersections; and
WHEREAS, the inclusion of motorcycle awareness as a distinct part of driver education curriculum and motorcycle rider education programs will help promote safe driving and motorcycle riding practices; and
WHEREAS, citizens should recognize the fact that motorcycle operators have the same rights and privileges as operators of other vehicles on all roads and highways; and
THEREFORE, it is in the best interest of our community and the citizens to note the increase in the amount of motorcycle traffic, as we enter the warm weather months, to enable the reduction of accidents and injuries involving motorcyclists.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED that I/We, ________________ do hereby recognize May 2013 as
And I/We call this observance to the attention of all our citizens and encourage all motorist and motorcyclist to drive safely.
With the new year starting, there's new looks taking their places. Mike Poage has finally got his wish of freedom from his position as Awareness Director. He handed over the keys to the Awareness Program before the seminar even started (LOL). Thanks Mike, for keeping the program moving forward for the last several years. Enjoy the endless summer breezes and keep the rubber on the pavement, brother.
I am excited to have the opportunity to be elected as the new ABATE of Michigan State Awareness Director. Now, it's my turn to continue to do my voodoo on this Awareness Program. Hoping to build onto this program and to keep our freedom of "CHOICE" here in Michigan. Education is one of the important pieces of ABATE. Lets work together and make this organization a strong force to be reckoned with.
Your new State Awareness Director,
Mark R. Buchanan (Region 18)

facebook page: Abate of Michigan Region 18 Awareness
ABATE is stressing car driver awareness of cyclists as a method to prevent motorcycle /car accidents. The State Police, Office of Highway Safety Planning, (OHSP), under direction from Director Michael Prince, has used the 2012 Federal funds for, "Ride Safe to Ride Again". This program is directed to motorcyclists to improve their skills. ABATE of Michigan believes the emphasis should be on car driver awareness. Letters on how effective you think "Ride Safe to Ride Again" is can be directed to the Department of State Police, 333 South Grand Avenue, P.O. Box 30634, Lansing, MI 48909.
Ruth Johnson has no input at this time where this Federal money is spent. It comes to OHSP. They decide where and how much is spent using Federal Funds. Each state has a designed agency that has this type of responsibility. The state police are working from the information obtained or "study" that Sgt. Spinks presented at the state seminar several years ago.
Please support Ruth Johnson, she is a member, and tell her how you feel about, "Ride Safe to Ride Again."

Car driver awareness of motorcyclists is critical to our survival. Car drivers must be made aware not to turn in front of oncoming motorcyclists. Please make Ruth Johnson and your legislator aware of this.
Ride Free and Safe,
Did you know that 40% of all accidents involving cars with motorcycles are caused by the car driver that has less than 6 months driving experience? Did you know that approximately 82% of all accidents are the fault of the car driver not seeing the motorcycle?
Since 1995, members of ABATE of Michigan, Inc. have taught over 60,000 students, that were about to be get their first drivers license, how to be more aware of motorcycles.
LOOK TWICE - SAVE A LIFE – Motorcycles are Everywhere
Do you want to ride these?
This is Terry (Region 14) here. Preaching from the been there, done that, got the T-shirt, sucks to be me, pulpit! Riding weather is here and we want to go but what do we want to ride? YOU PICK!
Or these?
Trust me it sucks sitting home, mangled limbs propped up, watching the world go by while you just sit in pain. With the awareness program we can help stop the slaughter! Think About It!, Terry
Hey, this awareness program is a good thing, glad you guys do it. How many times have we heard that? Have you ever said that? Well, Bull S__t. Get off your butt and do something to save it. The gift that keeps on giving (even though unwanted) is a wreck. Yes, it can happen to you, no matter how careful you are. It goes something like this: June 26, 2004 a jerk runs a stop sign and T-bones you on your bike. You did everything you could think of to get out of his way, but he hit you anyway. You spend 3 days in the hospital while they take x-rays (should glow in the dark by now), CT scans, blood tests, poking, prodding, twisting and not to mention the scrub brush and antiseptic they use to scrub the dirt out of your road rash, and then they ask "Does this hurt"? The doctors come in for 3 days and tell you the leg must go until you insist on finding a Dr. willing to try to fix it. June 28, 6 ½ hours of surgery and 2 days in bed with no movement and they tell you they fixed it as best as possible. June 31, Rehab starts, they teach you how to walk with a walker, how to use stairs, how to use the bathroom, how to get in and out of bed, chair car etc.... You practice their techniques every day. Wow it is now ironically July 4th, Independence Day! You get out of the hospital and spend the afternoon resting up for the long ride home (the accident happened out of state). The next day you drag your sorry and mangled behind in the back (the cargo area) of an SUV and bounce around for 8 ½ hours only to be halfway home. Each rest stop takes a while as you cannot move very quickly and have to be helped in and out of the vehicle and into the restroom. On July 6th you get up early to get a start on the 2nd half of the journey home. Spend the next 8-9 hours riding in the back of the SUV, your leg, knee, sternum, face and nose are all aching as you have fractures in all, but you must push on.
Now you get home and drag yourself up 3 steps and into the house. Sleep in recliner in living room as too many stairs to get to bed. You get to enjoy reruns and think about the pain you are in. Just a trip to the bathroom is a major effort. Several days of waking up, hurting, reruns, hurting, nap, hurting, eat, hurting, more reruns, dinner, pain, another nap, more pain and reruns. Hospital bed arrives but is too painful to sleep in so you spend the next several days and nights in the recliner. July 14th, took first trip outside today, and then had to rest. Evening comes and on your way back from the restroom you collapse, unable to breathe. Ambulance comes, takes you to hospital, spend several hours while they try to decide what is wrong and what to do with you. 10 days in the hospital with a silver dollar sized blood clot in each lung. Friday night you get to go home. Spend Saturday in pain and try to rest. Get up Sunday and cannot breathe again, head back to hospital ER, we already know what is wrong and evidentially the blood thinners are not working. Spend 14 hours in the ER and gee, get to ride in the ambulance (no siren this time) to main hospital. Spend 3 more days there, getting poked and prodded and they send you home with a different blood thinner, one you have to inject yourself twice a day and a case of pneumonia too! You get home and spend the next 13 months going through rehab to bet back about 60% range of motion and that's all you get, you are told you are lucky to be walking at all let alone riding those dangerous motorcycles.
Now it is January 2006, you get to go to the hospital voluntarily this time for a 3 hour surgery to remove all the screws and plates from your leg. These are a great visual for the awareness classes by the way (the surgeon let us have the hardware that was removed).
Fast forward to 2009, almost 5 years from the accident. Knee is so bad the orthopedist cannot believe you can even walk. Very painful, can't walk as much or as far as you would like. Haven't ridden in 7 months as this is of course your left leg and it is just too painful to push bike off kickstand. So you decide you have to do something, can't live like this much longer, cannot put up with pain, swelling and lack of mobility and NO RIDING. April 6, 2009 1-1 ½ hours surgery to replace knee, doctor not sure what he will find going is so you are prepared for the worst. Doctor does find a small surprise, a hole in the bone, he has to fix this before he can do joint replacement. Surgery takes around 2 hours, spend 2 nights in hospital with rehab twice a day and get to go home Wednesday. Now the rehab starts again. THIS SUCKS! I DID NOTHING WRONG! I fought like hell to get away from the jerk, but he still hit me and gave me this gift that keeps on giving. I hope and pray you will never know this first hand but IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU! The answer, TEACH AWARENESS and stop the slaughter
Stay tuned for updates. Terry

Author: Marlene Krauss-Region 7 "Awareness Team"
The Definition of being aware: Conscious, informed, alert, vigilant, watchful. How do we make motorists aware of motorcycles?
Before the 1st of May, newspaper articles are sent urging motorists to start seeing motorcycles with info on safe driving tips. Also included is info on our AWARENESS PROGRAM. This year we have sent articles to 12 newspapers in our region's 3 counties
We urge all our members to purchase awareness yard signs and have them available at monthly meetings. This year we purchased 10 large awareness banners for Region 7 and have them posted on the main highways throughout Huron, Sanilac and Tuscola counties. This is more cost affective for us in a rural area. They can easily be moved and reused for many years and stay up for the entire riding season, reminding motorists to "LOOK TWICE"
Private lighted signs at businesses have put the message out for us "LOOK TWICE, SAVE A LIFE MOTORCYCLES ARE EVERYWHERE", usually short term in the month of May.
In addition to teaching motorcycle awareness to drivers education students, we have spoke in front of senior citizen groups, and the general public at fairs and festivals. At the homecare agency I work for we have a mandatory safe driving in-service yearly. I've included motorcycle awareness in this in-service since this type of work requires many miles on the road and many possible distractions when driving.
The posters "SHARE THE ROAD" and yellow flyers "START SEEING MOTORCYCLES" are free from OSHP of Michigan and have been distributed to gas stations, auto parts stores, tire stores, libraries etc… for the general public to see and make them aware.
We need to find more avenues to get the word out about motorcycle awareness. Only about 20% of schools offer drivers ed today, down from 90% in the 1980's. Not all privatized drivers ed companies are receptive to our FREE awareness program. The message for parents: spell out the dangers of inattention while driving to their kids and encourage them to consciously be alert, vigilant and to watch for motorcycles.
Karen Sheridan, Region 7
These two are the winners of the awareness article challenge. I had hoped for more, but was glad to get 3 responses. These two hit the nail on the head as to what I was looking for as far as the awareness program goes. I would like to thank Marlene and Karen for all the work they do in Region 7. I would also like to give an honorable mention to Terrible Ted in Region 4 for his suggestions which I will use in a future article. He had some good suggestions for us motorcyclists out there.
Now I just have to figure out how to divide up a decal between these two. Perhaps I will cut it horizontally and one will get the "look twice, save a life" and the other will get "motorcycles are everywhere". Maybe vertically and one will get "look twice Motorcycles" and the other will get "save a life Are everywhere" You know you will have to park next to each other for the saying to make sense. Better yet I will bite the bullet and buy 2 decals and you can each have the complete saying on your vehicle.
EDUCATIONAL Author: Marlene Krause-Region 7 "Awareness Team"
Kathy: Ted Fisher here in ABATE Region 4. I am a 500,000 mile bike and I have seen some bikers who have gone down. Some didn't make it. I saw a group of 6-8 bikers go down all taken out by one van. All were riding side by side. Here is something I made up: "Riding side by side is like you are trying to commit suicide! Be smart from the start! The road Rash you save might be your own, please ride staggered!!!"
Another suggestion he had for us riders is to always keep to the right side of the road when coming over a hill. Especially when you can't see what's coming over the other side. His first cousin Paul Jones was almost killed by a little old lady who was passing on a hill. He died early in life and Ted thinks she helped as he was in bad shape for as long as he lived after the accident.
Terrible Ted, Leatherneck Semper-Fi
Thanks again Ted and thank you for your service to our country. You were obviously in the Marine Corp.

Stellar! Made the board too (for now) 6:05
They're all relatively close to Toronto. Have visited Toronto many times. Great museums and restaurants. When you include Mississauga, that area is huge.
I just knew you would know where they were. Sounds like a beautiful place.
Hi Pat. Have been to all three areas. All nice. Once had a great brunch at the Ancaster Old Mill. Could see the waterfall outside windows.
Hi Francine well the one son took a load as far as Erie for the Canadian Driver. It was going to Oakville - Burlington - Ancaster, Ontario. We took another load but the driver that took it I couldn't contact him.
That don't always work with me. And we are doing 2 more swaps tomorrow will try to find what towns they are going to and let you know.
With pretty good time too! You'd think my creating this would give me an advantage where I'd solve it faster than I do.
I even made the board on this one
Pat, you solved the larger one! Very pleased you had fun. Thanks.
Fun Fun Fun thanks Francine

If you feel like heading out, check out other movies in theaters.
Win Win

Fair Game

Double Take
The Visitor
A graduate of the prestigious Yale School of Drama, Tom McCarthy began his show business career in the 1990s, appearing on episodes of shows like New York Undercover and Spin City. He would go on to play the recurring role of Kevin Riley on the series Boston Public and make notable appearances in films like Meet the Parents, Flags of Our Fathers, and Good Night, and Good Luck. McCarthy's acting career would take a backseat in 2003 when he wrote and directed the critically acclaimed independent film The Station Agent. Proving the film's success was more than beginner's luck, he would go on to write and direct 2007's The Visitor, which met with similar praise from critics and audiences alike. In 2009, the writer wrote the story for the Disney Pixar film Up, which met with tremendous success, both at the box office and in critic's circles, earning McCarthy an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay. McCarthy followed that success several supporting roles in high-profile films such as Little Fockers and Fair Game and also returned to the director's chair in 2010 with the acclaimed indie wrestling comedy drama Win Win starring Paul Giamatti. ~ Cammila Collar, Rovi

Title: THE MOSES QUILT
Author: Kathi Macias
Publisher: New Hope Publishers
Date: 2013
The Moses Quilt is a story within a story that touches not only our hearts, but our souls as well.
"Was it possible Mimi was telling them this story about the Moses quilt so their family could unwrap a story of their own?"
Eagerly awaiting the next portion of the story Mazie Hartford waits patiently for her great-grandmother to point to one of the patches on the quilt. Edward Clayton, a successful lawyer, joins her. They are not the only ones. I sat with her in the room listening attentively to each part of the story.
Harriet Tubman was a god-fearing person who obeyed and believed in God. She was called to be the Moses of her people. Moses of the Bible was the instrument God used to free the Israelites from slavery out of Egypt. During the 1800's in the South, this courageous woman helped many slaves to freedom.
What's not to like about him, or love, for that matter? He's good and kind, intelligent and successful –not to mention, extremely handsome. I can only imagine how many women would trade place with me in a heartbeat.
Then why can't she say yes to Edward's marriage proposal? What is it that holds Mazie back? Does she know why?
I enjoyed living day to day with Mazie, portraying the love she has for her great-grandmother, and her love for Edward. Each day a patch of the quilt told a story that could lead to the answer Mazie was looking for. Tragedy strikes; the path to the answer is blocked. Is there another way in finding the answer?
Two things stood out for me. We can learn from mistakes made in the past, even mistakes made generations ago. Everything is possible if we believe in God. Our personal relationship with Him overcomes all difficult circumstances.
God is a God of the impossible, do we believe it? Harriet Tubman did.
Kathi Macias, is a master storyteller. I enjoyed The Moses Quilt tremendously and will recommend it wholeheartedly.
New Hope Publishers provided this book to me for free in exchange for this honest review.

Retha, this is one of the most insightful reviews I've ever received. Thank you!
Hi Kathi, thanks for stopping by and for your beautiful comment. Thanks. The book is a great read.
Sounds like an interesting book. I like the idea of different stories being told by the grandmother (according to quilt patches) that tie into the larger story going on in the novel. Is it very religious though playing deep into the whole idea and stories of God?
The characters are Christians. It is a great book, the story is great (I don't want to give it away). If you enjoy historical fiction, you will love this book
You have done this book justice with your review. I will have to check it out. :-)

Apr 4 2012 by Lorna Hughes, Birkenhead News
RADIO presenters Jay Hynd and Claire Simonsen will join the runners and walkers at Clatterbridge Cancer Research's Chick Run later this month.
The Radio City breakfast duo will don chicken suits to get participants revved up and ready to race before running the 5k course themselves.
The Chick Run, in association with Wirral News, takes place in Birkenhead Park on April 22.
Jay said he had rallied a group of friends and family to help him with sponsorship.
He told the News: "Claire is a runner, I'm not, but I'm giving it a try; it's such a terrific cause.
"Before the start we'll be in the crowd egging on the runners and walkers and getting them ready to take part.
"Everyone knows someone who's been touched by cancer. Raising the money is really important but the fun on the day and the atmosphere is worth it too."
It's not the first time the presenters have teamed up to help the Wirral charity. Late last year they hosted a midnight candle walk for Clatterbridge Cancer Research and Claire House at Sefton Park in Liverpool.
Among the youngest walkers at the event will be little Oscar and Isobel Sandow from Oxton, accompanied by Clatterbridge Cancer Research director Catherine Sandow and her husband Sam, a consultant anaesthetist.
Oscar, 4, and Isobel, 2, who attend Birkenhead School and Birkenhead School Nursery, were given a chance to try out their chick costumes ahead of the event.
Catherine said: "We're not quite sure how they'll do but we're fully intending to complete the course."
The Chick Run is a non-competitive event, so you can choose to sprint, run, jog, walk, stroll, or even take your dog along – but everyone taking part must wear one of the fancy dress chick costumes provided.
All runners will be given a chick costume when they register. Children aged five and under go free, but need to provide a fancy dress costume.
Everyone taking part must register in advance – visit www.chickrun.org or call 343 4300.

"Good Value for the money"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 26, 2013
The location is good. It is next to the subway, train,street cars and bus stop. It is easy to get to the down town or the castle from there. One big compliant is that on Hotel.com and the hotel web site it advertises the pool area. I went there for the first time 2 years ago and was told it was under repair. Returned 4 times since over a two year period and still no pool. One of the staff members told me there are no plans to repaired the pool. Fine but it should be taken off the advertisement.
"Nice Place, Expensive WiFi"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 25, 2013
My second hotel stay in Budapest. Great place, clean, comfortable great service. I'll probably look for another next time, because Wifi was like $25 a day. C'mon! Its actually free at the pub across the street. Anyway, I stayed here because I felt like I got a good deal on the room, and its near a good shopping area. They do have great meeting facilities if you have a business group. Great views of the Chain Bridge and Palace!
"Simply the best!"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 22, 2013
Hotel was clean, upscale, and a great bargain. The location was perfect and the area was clean and safe. Free upgrade to executive suite.
"Comfortable hotel"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 19, 2013
We spent two nights here. Everything was great except the wifi was very spotty, close to nothing, in our room. Buffet breakfast was excellent. Room was big and the bathroom was decent size as well.
"close to subway"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 18, 2013
Only one minute from subway station. The neighborhood was not great but I didn't feel dangerous at night. Room was clean. Hotel staff were helpful.
"Great Location - right next to the train station"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 12, 2013
We had a short stay and left early (before breakfast). They even gave us a bagged breakfast for the road.
"Very good!"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jan 27, 2013
The best thing of this hotel is the staff. Friendly and very helpful.

This is a remodeled hotel that used to be a palace during the Hapbsburgs. The remodel leaves a lot to be desired...

Recipe by MakeItHealthy
"For a healthier version of juicy roasted chicken, we use butter instead of margarine, omit powder seasoning, and include vegetables in the roasting process."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 1/4 pounds winter squash, peeled, seeded and cut into chunks
1 pound fingerling potatoes, split lengthwise
1/2 pound carrots, split lengthwise and cut into 2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (3 pound) whole chicken, giblets removed
1/2 cup butter, divided

I like how she said she was going to make it healthier - with butter! So true! This was great, I make it all the time now! I also added some beets, squash and zucchini because it's summer and it was yummy!
The amount of butter this recipe calls for was probably twice what it needs to be. The butter melted and dripped down onto the veggies, which were already coated with oil. The result was soggy veggies swimming in fat. It also needs seasonings to boost the flavor. It was edible and can be modified to suit personal preferences.

This recipe made a really delicious, moist chicken. It was really easy to stuff the butter under the skin, I had never tried that before when roasting poultry. You could add herbs or spices to the butter to give the meat more flavor if you wanted. I will use this recipe again.
I followed this recipe with 1/2 the butter (I used 1/4 c. total) and added two garlic cloves inside the Chicken. The meat was juicy and the skin was crisp. The vegetables were also very delicious with the olive oil and chicken drippings. We will definitely have this again.
I really liked the flavor, I cut back on the butter and olive oil because the drippings from then chicken would be sufficient to coat the roasting veggies. Really my only complaint is my chicken has been in the oven for well over the time suggested in the recipe. It has completely thrown off everything else. The brown rice has been finished for awhile and the chicken still isn't quite ready. I just like to have everything done at the same time.
Chicken took longer that stated on recipe so vegetables were slightly overcooked.
While very moist I found the chicken to be rather bland. I have never roast a chicken before so I followed the recipe exactly with the exception of throwing some mushrooms in with the veggies because hubby and I love mushroom...should the skin have been crispy? because mine was decidedly not. All in all, I'll try this again.

Stop Junk Mail and Telemarketers
Oprah.com | April 13, 2007
Each year, more than 3 million Americans discover that credit accounts have been falsely opened in their name; of these, at least 400,000 can blame the crime on stolen mail. Fraud expert Sid Kirchheimer says that in the space of an hour you can deter both direct mailers and telemarketers. To decline vulnerable mailings (such as credit card applications) and put an end to most unwanted phone calls, contact the following:
Just Say No
Credit Bureaus Opt-Out Line
Call 888-567-8688 (888-5-OPT-OUT) from your home telephone (so it can be checked against an address database) or visit www.optoutprescreen.com to stop preapproved credit card and insurance offers from reaching you by mail or phone.
Do Not Call List
If you haven't done so already, by all means, register your phone number with the National Do Not Call Registry, maintained by the Federal Trade Commission. Once you have registered your telephone numbers at www.donotcall.gov or by calling 888-382-1222, most telemarketers are barred from calling you.
List Brokers
Pooling information gleaned from phone books, public records and other sources, these companies prepare and sell mailing lists to businesses. To remove yourself from all of their lists, you'll have to contact each one individually. (Preprinted mailing labels to ease the task are available at www.fightidentity theft.com/junkmail_labels.html.) Details on reaching the four largest list brokers appear below.
Direct Marketing Association
The DMA is a trade group whose 5,200 member companies use the telephone, mail and the Internet to pitch their products directly to consumers, bypassing such intermediaries as traditional bricks-and-mortar retail outlets. The DMA offers half a dozen ways for you to opt out of receiving solicitations from its members.
Don't Snub Those Stuffers
The opt-out contacts listed above primarily deal with unsolicited mail and telephone calls from companies you have nothing to do with. But what about stopping the spread of your personal information from companies with which you already do business?
How to Protect Yourself
Once a year, financial institutions are required to inform their customers how they use their personal information, and what opt-out rights those customers have.
These notices sometimes provide a mailing address (or, more rarely, a phone number or a website address) that permits customers to stop their financial institutions from sharing their personal information with unaffiliated third parties. This is that rare offer you truly should
refuse: Taking them up on it may halt junk mail that originates from totally unsuspected sources. Even if you don't take this step, you can always stop the spread of your personal information the good old-fashioned way: Contact your bank, credit-card issuer or insurer and inform them you are opting out of sharing.
Waive That Warranty Card
When you buy a new toaster, it's easy to get burned long before the bread pops up. The source? The warranty card included in the packaging.
"Warranty cards are primarily used by the product's manufacturer to profile you," explains California identity theft attorney Mari Frank. "They will then sell that information to others, who in turn send you mailings for their own products and services. That's why warranty cards so often ask you for your household income, how many kids you have, what your hobbies and interests are."
How to Protect Yourself
Provided you keep the receipt, a product is under warranty for the designated period whether you return the warranty card or not. If you unwisely choose to "register" your purchase with the manufacturer, submit the warranty card bearing nothing more than your name, address and date of purchase. (If required, enclose a copy of your receipt.) In the same mailing, specify that your personal information is not to be distributed to others.
Who'll Stop the Mail?
The U.S. Postal Service delivers—but don't expect it to deliver you from the mountains of junk mail it dumps on your doorstep. Direct marketing mailings—which have increased by some 5 billion pieces since the National Do Not Call Registry went into effect in October 2003—generate billions of dollars in revenue for the USPS. Maybe that's why some seemingly obvious steps for refusing these mailings don't really work. For instance:
Just Say No
Writing "return to sender" or "refused"
on the envelopes of unsolicited letters and placing them in your outgoing mail will not remove you from the sender's distribution list. The USPS does not forward third-class bulk mail; postal regulations require that it be thrown away instead.
Placing unsolicited mail in a return envelope with postage due
is another futile attempt to stop future mailings. In all likelihood, the USPS will simply return the envelope to you for the correct postage. If you omit your return address and the Post Office is unable to return it to the sender, the envelope will go to the USPS's mail recovery center.
Box Junk Mail: None for Me, Thanks!
Perhaps hoping to upgrade its image as the nation's leading source of shredder fodder, the Direct Marketing Association has graciously devised all manner of means by which you can just say no. Try one of these:
Stop Receiving Mailings
Go to www.dmaconsumers.org/cgi/offmailinglist and complete the online opt-out form. Then click the Register Online button. This is the fastest way of adding your name and address to the DMA's Mail Preference Service (essentially a "do-not-mail" list), but it costs $5, payable by credit card.
If you don't want to go online, send a postcard or letter including your name, address and signature (and a request to opt out) to:
Mail Preference Service
Direct Marketing Association
P.O. Box 643
Carmel, New York 10512
This option is also free of charge, but it is the slowest: A minimum of two months will be required before your name and address have been added to the MPS opt-out list.
Stop Telephone Solicitations
Visit www.dmaconsumers.org/cgi/offtelephone and complete the opt-out form you will find there. Here again there is a $5 charge to register online, or you can print out the form and mail it in at no charge. You can also send a letter or postcard with your name, address, telephone number (with area code), and signature to:
Telephone Preference Service
Direct Marketing Association
P.O. Box 1559
Carmel, New York 105120
Reduce E-Mail Solicitations
Visit www.dmaconsumers.org/consumers/optoutform_emps.shtml. To confirm your submission, the Direct Marketing Association will send an acknowledgment to each address you submit (up to three); you must reply to each one within 30 days in order for your registration to take effect.
Remove the Names of Deceased Loved Ones
Visit www.preference.the-dma.org/cgi/ddnc.php and complete the form you find there. There is a $1 charge to verify your credit card information.
The "A List" for Getting Delisted
They don't exactly make it easy for you, but if you send a written request to each list broker below, your tide of junk mail should eventually ebb.

Enjoy this new video "Women in Trout Unlimited"
(may not work in Internet Explorer. Here it is on YouTube.)
In the summer of 1967, a handful of conservationists met to form a local chapter of Trout Unlimited. Two years later, the Donegal Chapter officially became the 7th Pennsylvania chapter.
Our mission was simple:
- Obtain regulated fly fishing areas on the Donegal Spring and Octorara creeks.
- Introduce students to fly fishing through schools and by conducting classes.
Today, the Donegal Chapter works with the same mission as we protect and enhance our cold water resources. Our seven-member group has grown to over six hundred, and our annual spending has increased from $350 to almost $500,000. The Donegal Creek has been restored, and the Lititz Run has been completed and is being maintained.We have worked to restore portions of over 14 streams in Lancaster County since 2004 alone, and now sponsor 7 Trout In the Classroom projects in county schools.
We're looking forward to continuing our mission — restoring more streams, educating more students, and yes, fishing too. We often wonder if the seven original volunteers imagined such an active and vibrant chapter. We thank them for getting us started, and we invite you to join us – making our environment cleaner, better — one stream at a time.

Tax Incentive for B-BOPing

BBOP, parking subsidy, cash out, revenue-neutral, green tax
Business, Government, Citizens, Nonprofit
Minnesota Statewide, Outside Minnesota
B-BOPing (biking, busing or car/van pooling) is financially attractive for employees and employers when a 1997 law is used.
Many companies and organizations provide free or reduced cost (that is, subsidized) parking spaces for their employees as a tax-free fringe benefit. This benefit often acts as a strong incentive against employees who might otherwise commute by bus, car or van pool and by bicycle. These alternatives to driving solo and parking decrease traffic congestion, air and water pollution and energy consumption. The Federal IRS program described below provides an incentive for both employers and employees to increase B-BOPing.
The following text is from the web site below:
"Both employers and employees save on the cost of commuting by taking advantage of the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) Qualified Transportation Fringe (QTR) Benefits program, a special tax code regulation that works to significantly reduce commuting cost. The Internal Revenue Service Code 132 (f) allows nontaxable spending up to $230 per month on combined value of commuter transportation and transit passes as well as $230 per month for parking, totaling to $460 per month tax-free. Essentially, neither the employer nor the employee pays taxes on the cost of commuting up to the $230 limit respectively. Savings for both employer and employee are significant.
What Is In the Fine Print Of the Benefits?
The IRS offers the tax benefits for commuter transportation in a commuter highway vehicle, transit passes, qualified parking, and qualified bicycle commuting expenses.
Commuter Highway Vehicle (Vanpool)
For a commuter highway vehicle to qualify for tax exclusion, the vehicle must be:
Provided by an employer or a third party for the employer,
Used for travel between employee residence (or parking lot) and the workplace,
Able to provide seating for at least six (6) adults, excluding the driver,
Occupied by at least 50% employees, excluding the driver,
Used for transporting employees between residences, the workplace, and/or parking lots (at least 80% of the mileage).
Transit Passes
By definition, a transit pass is any pass, token, fare card, voucher, etc. entitling a person to transportation. In order for a transit pass to qualify for tax exclusion, the pass must be used for transportation on a public or privately-owned mass transit system, or on transportation provided by a person in the business of transporting people in a qualified commuter highway vehicle (see above). For discounted transit passes, the discounted price must be used in the tax exclusion. The maximum nontaxable value per person is limited to the combined value of commuter transportation and transit passes per month ($230 + $230 parking = $460 per month).
Qualified Parking
To qualify for tax exclusion, parking must be provided to employees on or near either the business work premises, or location from which employees continue to commute to work by another mode of transportation, such as commuter highway vehicle or mass transit station.
Qualified Bicycle Commuting Expenses
Employees who choose to use a bicycle to commute to work qualify to exclude reimbursements from taxes offered by the employer.
How Does the Business Benefit?
By providing a commuter benefit instead of additional salary, the business saves money. Although both commuter benefits and salary are tax deductible as a business expense, the commuter benefit does not require payroll taxes, thus saving the business a substantial amount of money.
The benefits target only current employees; former employees and independent contractors are ineligible."
For more details see
for a 2001 US EPA document entitled
Parking Cash Out: Implementing Commuter Benefits Under the Commuter Choice Leadership Initiative
for more about Commuter Financial Incentives, including Parking Cash Out, Travel Allowance, Transit and Rideshare Benefits.
On January 1, 2009, the IRS added qualified bicycle commuting reimbursement
(up to $240/yr.) to the list of qualified transportation fringe benefits available to employees. See details at

How to Deal With Death
Edited by Alexander Yean, SilverSparkz, Maluniu, VermontGal and 4 others
There are many articles about death on this website. Most of these are quite subject-specific, like Dealing with a Grandparent's/Spouse's death. This article would be about death in general, and some steps or tips mentioned here may not be adequate for certain specific cases.
1It is always sad when someone you know dies. If the death is that of someone you do not know very well, skip to step 4.Ad
2Mourn for the person's death. We must eventually get over a person's death, whether the person is a loved one or simply a church friend's relative you barely know. However, the first step is to mourn. Let it all out. Hold/attend a proper funeral, and mourn deeply and sincerely. Think of all the things that make you remember that person and all the things that you and that person have done together. Then cry. Let it all out. Try to forget and get over these things and painful memories. It will take a while, but try.
3Get over it. This is always hard, but we all must try. Start by keeping anything that can remind you of a painful memory, like a photograph or necklace. Try not to talk about the person, and let time heal the wound.
4Offer your condolences. If you know anyone who may be emotionally attached to the person who has just died, offer your condolences. Something like 'My most sincere/heartfelt condolences for your loved one's death.' will do fine. Remember, don't drag it too long as it will be painful for the person. Also, don't bring it up if you know that it will cause the person great pain.
5Get back on your feet. It will take some time to get over the person's death, but try to get back on your feet after that. Life goes on, no matter what. Try to let the past wash under the bridge, and continue with life.Ad
- Try your best not to think of the deceased too much. It would be good to distract yourself with a television show or a good joke.
- Do not visit the person's grave too often, except on important dates like anniversaries. It is good to give flowers every now and then, but visiting too often can cause permanent psychological damage.
- If you know a person who was close to the deceased, try to offer emotional support if you can. Remember, even Chuck Norris has a soft side.
- Try not to pass by the cemetery where the person is buried, or any cemetery in general if you do not plan on paying your respects. This can bring up painful memories.
- If you are overly depressed or upset over the person's death, or simply just cannot get over it, seeking professional assistance is advised.

text: My work is an investigation of the totality of the human condition, delicate, abject and limiting. My work has within, 'capacity'; I create work that forms cross-relationships with 'proposition' and 'hazard', free will and constraint, it is amid these polls that I anticipate my resourcefulness will ensue. My work is direct, reliable and liberal. The work is approached with the utmost seriousness and worked upon with the intensity of a child at play. The work references loss and innocence but also an evolving virtue towards the struggle to hold onto or to rediscover innocence, a purity and a truth…my Art therefore is a construct, through maturity, through innocence and made achievable through the craft. Much of my practice constantly evolves, through inquisitive processes and experimentation in the studio. One area of possibility is the exploration and the dialogue of the self-legislating 'I' and the fusion of imagination and authenticity. Fusion affords me both possibility and risk in the development of projects. How does one articulate 'feeling' opposed to articulating an 'idea'? 'Feeling' is our human predicament…that of being alive and conscious, where as 'Idea'? Is that what is brought to bear upon man by himself? 'Idea' is an ontological study, an attempt to understand, justify and depict the human condition. The human condition is timeless…it is ambiguous and indeterminate. This flow of thought (that is) our delicate condition is made manifest by a creative process. Is it an attempt to construct meaning through language and imagination where neither may really exist? This, the duality of thinking and worrying by the divided self is authentically something and nothing. My work is seldom at rest; I relentlessly juggle the work. There are common theses to be found. I am in three places at once, the present, the past and in the future (The three of the perfect pair). Web site last updated: 3rd March 2014

Before I continue with some more draft thoughts, I wanted to point out a few things from some of your responses to my first posting.
References to Mel Kiper or any other national publication's projection of a draft choice is only to emphasize what the prevailing thoughts were at the time on a player. Never have the Denver Broncos used one of these prognosticators to select a draft choice. It's from these same sources that we catch the most criticism and yet many seem to forget what their own viewpoints were at the time.
Next, I greatly appreciate the feedback, both positive and negative, from the fans. I expect and accept both. My goal is to provide you with a "method behind the madness" that you sometimes don't get from other sources.
