Steve Lynch on Social Security
Democratic Representative (MA-9)
To reject proposals to partially or completely substitute private saving accounts for the lifelong, guaranteed, inflation-protected insurance benefits provided through Social Security. The Congress finds the following:
The mission of the Alliance for Retired Americans is to ensure social and economic justice and full civil rights for all citizens so that they may enjoy lives of dignity, personal and family fulfillment and security. The Alliance believes that all older and retired persons have a responsibility to strive to create a society that incorporates these goals and rights and that retirement provides them with opportunities to pursue new and expanded activities with their unions, civic organizations and their communities.
The following ratings are based on the votes the organization considered most important; the numbers reflect the percentage of time the representative voted the organization's preferred position.
Some 200 Democratic House and Senate candidates have signed on to a pledge rejecting any effort to privatize or scale back Social Security benefits or raise the retirement age. The Progressive Change Campaign Committee sponsored this pledge among Congressional candidates.

Holiday Gifts
"Your online resources for all of your holiday gifts and ideas"
Holiday gifts are an integral part of all our major holidays. A major holiday would be incomplete without exchanging of holiday gifts amongst family and friends. Christmas takes the cake in holiday gifts shopping sprees. Stores across the world dress up their show windows with enticing holiday gifts which can leave no room for imagination. Since everyone has to buy multiple holiday gifts the number of shoppers before the holidays start is mind boggling. The rush before Christmas makes shopping for holiday gifts a daunting task. The more organized shoppers buy their holiday gifts in advance to save themselves the trouble of long waits and stress.
Christmas is one of the largest seasons for holiday gifts but now even other smaller holidays are becoming popular events for buying holiday gifts for friends and family. One such event is Valentine's Day. Though valentine day is not strictly a holiday, it qualifies for a high spend on holiday gifts. Jewelry, perfumes, silver trinkets, chocolates and flowers are the main holiday gifts on this event.
Holiday gifts shopping should be well planned in advance if you want to save yourself embarrassment or last minute panic. The first thing to do when planning your holiday gifts is to prepare a list of people you need to shop for. Next would be to put in some ideas next to their names which you can refer to when you are in the store. You may also like to write down things like hobbies or dislikes to make sure you don't end by buying an impropriate holiday gift. Sometimes in the frenzy of shopping, you might have a memory lapse so it is best to leave the house prepared. Last but not the least; you must put down a budgeted

Let's look at the other side of giving holiday gifts which is receiving gifts from friends and family. Though it is exciting to un-wrap all the gifts, you might just end up receiving two of the same kind of holiday gifts. Don't despair; you can always get it exchanged or give it to someone else in the family. It might not be a bad idea to drop hints to your husband before the holidays begin and let him know in advance what you would want as holiday gifts. This would save him some time and get you the desired holiday gifts!
If you are not the sort of person who likes to buy regular items for holiday gifts and would like to pamper your near and dear ones, then gifts baskets may be an option worth considering. Assorted baskets make excellent gifts when you would like to make someone feel special. You can buy all types of gift hampers as holiday gifts depending on the tastes of the recipient. You can buy exotic food hampers, nature-inspired toiletries and even children's hampers from various stores or online shops which specialize in hampers. One of the key features of hampers is also the décor and they look perfect as holiday gifts.

Publication: theday.com
Griswold - Police arrested three men early Tuesday morning on charges that they were allegedly involved in several burglaries in the Kenwood Road area.
Joshua Giroux, 19, of Sterling, Robert Perrotti, 21, of Plainfield, and Seth Stamour, 21, of Plainfield, were each charged with second-degree burglary, second-degree criminal trespass and third-degree larceny.
Giroux was also charged with possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a controlled substance and interfering with an officer.
Police said there were several residential burglaries of building and cars. A patrol check of the area uncovered a suspect's vehicle. A K-9 search of the area led police to the suspects.
All three men were each held in lieu of a $10,000 bond, pending their arraignment today in Norwich Superior Court.

Supreme Court Upholds Jailhouse Strip Searches, Even for Traffic Infractions
A 5-4 majority of the Supreme Court has ruled that jails may constitutionally strip-search anyone admitted to the jail, no matter how minor the reason they're in jail. Writing in dissent, Justice Breyer observed that "the harm to privacy interests would seem particularly acute where the person searched may well have no expectation of being subject to such a search, say, because she had simply received a traffic ticket for failing to buckle a seatbelt…"
Actually, in the case at issue in this decision, the subject of the strip-search was erroneously arrested for something that isn't even a crime: Albert Florence was arrested for not paying a fine that in fact he had paid, and in any event not paying a fine is not a crime under New Jersey law, it's a civil infraction. As I noted previously about this case:
This line of cases should be extraordinarily troubling for civil libertarians. When you combine cases finding no Fourth Amendment violation when the police arrest and detain you even for very minor offenses — even offenses that aren't actually arrestable offenses under state law — with cases finding no Fourth Amendment violation when jail guards strip-search you after booking on a minor offense, basically we're giving the police a green card to find any pretext to have anyone they don't like arrested, jailed, and strip-searched. Read the Atwater dissent, Part II, if you don't think this could be a real problem.
I haven't yet had time to read the full SCOTUS opinions, so perhaps I'll have additional thoughts later, but you can find all the opinions and other materials here at SCOTUSblog.
Some Twitter reactions:
Last week, #SCOTUS conservatives so worried about liberty. Today, they allowed strip searches of any person arrested for any offense.—

JOPLIN, Mo. — A man charged with murdering a college football coach confronted his victim with his estranged wife moments before firing the fatal shots outside a movie cineplex last Friday night, police said.
Jeffrey Bruner, 39, approached his estranged wife, Dawn Michelle Bruner, and Derek Moore, an assistant coach at Missouri Southern State University, in the drop-off lanes in front of Northpark 14 Theatres. People were emerging from the theaters after a showing of "Captain Phillips" about 9:50 p.m.
Dawn Bruner, a campus police officer, and Moore had been to the movie together and were headed toward their vehicle when Jeffrey Bruner said something, then shot Moore in the torso at close range, said Joplin police Lt. Matt Stewart.
Moore fell to the ground, and Bruner fired additional shots, Stewart said, citing witness accounts.
Three or four bystanders followed Bruner to his car, where they confronted him. "They told him to get down on the ground, which he did, and they stayed with him then until law enforcement arrived," Stewart said.
Moore, 37, died at a local hospital. Bruner was charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action, and is being held without bond.
Bruner and his wife shared a home in Joplin and apparently separated recently, Stewart said. There had been no prior domestic disturbances reported to police, he said.
A college coach for 14 years, Moore moved to Missouri Southern this season. He previously coached at Western Illinois University, in Macomb, for three years.
Moore was the offensive line coach for the Division II Missouri Southern Lions, who compete in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association. Missouri Southern cancelled its homecoming game against Lindenwood University, as well as other weekend activities, after Moore's death.
He is survived by a 7-year-old son.
Details for this story were reported by The Joplin, Mo., Globe.

Hello Loopy!!! :-)
What sweet little friends!! I know you will cherish "Jonas" ;-)
- September 22, 2009
Hi Loopy! Love the names of your Build-a-Bear friends. Our kids also lurrve the stuffed buddies, they made some at the Rainforest Cafe in Mall of America. So a Jonas puppy would fit right in with a giraffe and a snow leopard, right?
Fingers crossed in Manitoba.....

Hiya Loopy! Love all of your stuffed friends! My favorite part about Build A Bear are the little hearts that you get to put into each bear... : )

My son Isaac really likes the Jonas Brothers. It was the first CD he's ever bought. He said he would really like to win this "special" bear because it looks really, really cool. He would name him Kevin. Isaac said he would give him lots of hugs and kiss and take him lots of fun places to feel apart of the family.
- September 22, 2009
Hi Loopy! ;)
We adore the Jonas Brothers too. Just got the JONAS Rockin' the House DVD today, it's amazing! A JONAS dog would fit right in with all our other BABW friends! :)
Love, Amanda

Hi! My 5yr old is named Jonas, so this would be the perfect addition to his build-a-bear bunny named Bunny to be his bed friend. Jonas' special auntie passed away recently and could use another lovie to hug.

Hi Loopy - we KAGS love Build A Bear too - our first sighting of Build A Bear I am sure was at Hamley's in London and we made one with a voice recording of Daisy & Doodlebug for Grandma just before we left England. Now they are collecting Canadian city bears - just like you!
I wonder if they'll ever make a Twilight Edward bear?

HI Loopy
Like you, Danica loves build-a-bear...she has dolphin, cat, 2 bears, bunny and many many outfits! including a bride one complete with roller skates!(ready for a quick get away- I guess)
I am sure she could make room on her bed for one more cuddly friend <3 =)

Oh, we need the Jonas puppy over here in Washington. My daughter has a hard time when her Daddy is gone (in the Air Force) and she could always use a new lovie. I love Miami...what a treasure!

You live in Saskatoon, right? There's a Build-A-Bear here, too. My wife and daughters have stuffed friends from both the Edmonton store and the one here in Saskatoon.
Oh, by the way, I stumbled across your blog by chance recently and happened to read the last few day's worth. Just thought I'd pop in the comments section once and say that.

I just know that our Hannah Montana Build a Bear would love to have this Jonas dog sitting next to her on my daughter's bed. You know, seeing Miley did date Nick back in the day! Here's hoping Miami is with Loopy through many more milestones. :)
- September 22, 2009
- Michelle said...
I wouldn't want to take the bear away from a Jonas fan - but I had to say that it's FANTASTIC how beautiful and amazing Loopy has turned out. She faced so much at such a young age. Kudos to you both, I am sure that her future is just going to shine!

Wow, I never knew that! My son has CP (he is 2) and was born 3 months prem (along with his twin sister). We are currently going through the 'walkers, AFO's, botox, wheelchairs, etc' what a ride hey! His long term assessment right now is 'he will never walk' - right now he bearly crawls, but I LOVE reading about others who have been told the same thing and who can walk! :)
As for the build-a-bear - pick me, pick me!! My daughter who is 12, a 'young carer' and constant helper would die for it! We love our current build-a-bears and for my daughter to have a JONAS build-a-bear...words could not express how happy she would be!

Hey Loopy! My daughter LOVES Build-a-bear just as much as she loves the Jonas Bros. She reminds me daily that I promised her a trip to bbws in the near future....this would be perfect! Enjoy your bear, he's super cute!

Hi Loopy,
My daughters also have their fair share of Build-a-Bears. We have two teddy bears, one pink bear, and one pink tiger kitty! They are so much fun aren't they! I am thinking of making costumes for the kids to match their bears, but we will have to see.
My girls would love to add a Jonas to their collection, especially my nine year old.
Hugs, Nikki

Hi Loopy! I love seeing how far you've come since I have a little one like you and I know he will do as great. He has a bear named "bearie" that was his constant companion in his 13 week hospital stay and he now sleeps with every night. And we don't have a Build-a-Bear anywhere close. How sad for us.

Hi Loopy! We discovered Build-a-Bear during a visit home to South Africa, and Holly got Mia, a sweet little fluffy bunny. I love your stories of how you got your bears and friends from Build-a-Bear, and especially how they got their names ;-) We would love to give the Jonas dog a home, I'm sure he'd get along swell with Mia!
- September 23, 2009
Hi Loopy!! I love the Hello Kitty outfit on your bear!! Too cute! My daughter Madeline has to do Occupational, Physical and Speech therapy, too. And she loves Hello Kitty - she's her favorite! We've never been to Build-A-Bear - I bet it's fun!!!

My daughter Alia would LOVE to give Jonas a home. She would cherish him forever. He would live on her pillow and gossip all night long with Pooh Bear, who is dieing to have a new friend to talk all night with, since Alia tends to be a heavy sleeper :)

I am an avid reader... first time commenter... the Jonas Pup JUST HAS to bring me out of my shell! You see...
Loopy, you really have it all wrong in your blog.... Joe Jonas is actually destined to be my future Son-In-Law. My daughter is very honest... never has told a lie in her life... and this is what she tells me. I MUST believe her. I think it only the right thing that until Joe realizes that Holly exists, she have this cute little Jonas Puppy to keep her company!

Way to prove those Docs wrong Loopy!! I have three daughters ages 2-9 that would just lurrve the Jonas Dog. I can guarantee you it will never go unloved in my house. My oldest loves ALL things Jonas Brothers. If they made JB toliet paper she would want it. I must confess I have a little secret....

A pretty dark stout color with a strong mocha colored head. The lace thin but very strong and stained the glass big time as I drank the brew down. Very nice to look at. Nose was (guess) chocolate, candied sugar, caramel nougat, and a little rum-like ester. All were appetizing to smell, but none were presented or combined in an impressive way. Taste was (guess) chocolate and candied sugar. Had a dry hoppy finish but of the bitter sort you'd find in good chocolate. Even better was its almost fruity espresso flavors in the middle of its flavor profile. The mouthfeel was thin with a fizz that came from the head and hops. A very straightforward beer but by no means boring and one of the better stouts out of the six famous and beeradvocate highly-ranked ones I've had recently. Simple and simply edible, this is a tasty stout I am welcome to return to. With a way too easy mouthfeel, and skilled brewing, its a beer version of milk chocolate.

Pitch black pour with a creamy two finger beige head with good retention and great lacing. The nose is huge and really lives up to the name. Tons of cocoa and dark chocolate along with hints of milk chocolate, oats, and vanilla. The taste follows suit with the chocolate again dominating, but with a distinct bitterness. Hints of cocoa, caramel, leather, vanilla, oats, and roasty coffee. The mouthfeel is thick and creamy with medium carbonation and a dry, bittersweet finish. Overall, this surprised me as I was expecting a sweet and syrupy artificial mess, but instead got a much more natural tasting chocolate stout.

Very dark brown, opaque. At the very edge of the glass a slight brown/ruby color can be seen. Soft, creamy looking head that dissipates nearly entirely, but clings to the edge of the glass. Left little to no lacing on my glass.
Thick, and heavy with the smell of chocolate. Not a coco smell, but the smell of chocolate syrup. No hop aroma at all.
Light, roasted barley with a slight crispness. Flavor is clean and free of esters. The chocolate flavor is not as overwhelming as the aroma would suggest. Carbonation is on the smoother side, pleasant, and not too abrasive. Has a smooth, creamy finish, and the roasted chocolaty flavors finish well with a pleasant slightly bitter aftertaste. Could have slightly more body in the flavor and mouthfeel, and perhaps just a hint of acidity or sourness to balance the bittersweet chocolate flavor.

Black pout, huge broze head. The nose was chocolatey but not sweet. The taste was heavenly. Rich with cholcolate, both dark and unsweetened. A nice bitterness but not so much that it takes away from the chocolatley treat. Somewhat creamy. A nice rich finish that lingers long after. This is what a chocolate stout should be! A true classic of the style and of the overall beer world!

Appearance This was hands down the most awesome-looking beer that I have rated to date. The body is a gorgeous, thick black and the head was to die for. It was gigantic, spilling all over the place, then settling down into a slow receding pattern that seemed to last forever. It left a film an eighth of an inch thick on the inside of my glass.
Smell Cowabunga! This smells like a Hersheys bar. The chocolate is very refined and laced with artificial sugars. Its actually more of a dark chocolate, almost like a baking chocolate. Either way, its great.
Theres also a nice malt base and the threat of hops at the tongue, but lets not kid ourselves. This one lives up to its name.
Taste The hops fight their way out at the taste, but the bittersweet chocolate flavors dominate.They call on a bit of coffee for sure, but the bitter coca and refined sugars carry the show.
Mouthfeel Not as smooth as I had hoped from the nose, but this is bordering on full-bodied and is very bitter at the mouth.
Drinkability A perfect nightcap. This would go well with burnt crème or crème brulee.

Dry Chocolate!
Pours black as a new moon night under a cloudy, starless sky. Thick chocolate head with an average lifespan.
Smells like milk chocolate.
Tastes chocolatey with a bit of coffee. The milk-sweet chocolate is lost in the taste leaving only bittersweet bakers chocolate.
Mouthfeel is wonderful. Dry as chocolate coyotes thirsty mouth in the chocolate Atacama. Bitter and dry.
Drinkability: Very good.

A: Pitch black with a surprisingly big, brown head that settles into great looking lacings.
S: Basically just sweet chocolate mixed with distinct yet not overly powerful roasted malts. Some chocolate syrup, chocolate powder and a faint milky note. Not bad, but certainly not very complex.
T: Very distinct flavor of sweet chocolate from start to finish. The chocolate flavors aren't that luxurious though, they taste more like cheep dark chocolate, milk chocolate and chocolate syrup. Some dark toffee. Just a hint of dark fruits (plums?). Plenty of roasted malts, not very powerful though and they certainly are overshadowed by the chocolate. In the finish coffee flavors make a fairly good attempt at balancing the sweet chocolate flavors and gives the beer somewhat of a mochaccino edge to it. Some very gentle chocolate bitterness and mild grassy hops in the finish as well, and of course more chocolate. Unfortunately, the finish came out a bit short and boring to me, nothing really takes the lead and the taste just fades away too quickly.
M Medium body, actually thinner than I had expected. Quite a lot of carbonation. However, it seems like some time in the snifter serves this one well since it gets a little rounder and and the mouthfeel gets somewhat smoother after a while.
D: A good beer, but I don't think it managed to live up to my expectations. Indeed, there is a lot of sweet chocolate flavors going on here and that's the way it should be, but it would have been nice with a little more complexity and a bigger body. Still recommended, though.

22oz bomber into a Sam Smith imperial glass.
A- Ideal appearance for a stout; pitch black with a thick mocha head.
S- Chocolate truffles waft up as you pour, very inviting. Some sweet chocolate, some is dark with deeply roasted grain character. Hot fudge, cookie, subtle coffee.
T- Has a slight fruitiness akin to a well made dark chocolate while maintaining a pleasant sweetness. A touch of hops on the finish, slightly bitter.
M- Improves as it warms. Medium/full bodied with a well rounded carbonation.
D- Quaffable and will pair extraordinarily with cherry or raspberry desserts. A happy medium between Young's and Southern Tier.

Pitch black pour with a beautifully tanned head. The flow off of draft looks sturdy and oil rich. The frothy cap grew and grew until it grew out of my glass. The cap stayed for the full term and was left in the bottom of the glass. This brew has a great cocoa flavor with a nice bitter finish that is complimentary to the initial sweetness. This is a great chocolate and coffee representation in the aroma. This brew is missing a little of the toasty nuttiness in the flavor that I was expecting from the aroma. The mouth feel isn't as hearty as I had expected from the pour but far from thin and still properly bodied. The bitterness of the cocoa persists throughout jumping up and down on the pallet. This is no subtle brew and once you start don't plan on moving on, this one owns the pallet for quite a while.

4/5 rDev -3.8%
Pour/Appearance: A black pour without much change in light; velvety tan, 1 finger, head that dissipates slowly with moderate glass lacing.
Smell: Strong smell of milky chocolate pretty much overpowers any other notes. I initially perceived some cherries, but think it was the chocolate malt.
Mouthfeel: A creamy and smooth stout that isn't too heavy, yet retains a full-bodied character.
Taste: The chocolate flavor is evident, and it is balanced with a bitter finish from the hops and subtle spicy notes in-between.
Overall: This is an excellent stout overall. It's a bit too bitter of a finish for my liking, but still quite drinkable nonetheless.

A - Pour black with a huge tan head that kept rising after the pour. Moderate carbonation that can only be seen if you tilt the glass in bright light.
S - Whoa! There is some major chocolate smell in there! Also some roasted malts but the chocolate completely dominates.
T - Whoa! There is some major chocolate flavor in there! It hits you right off the bat, continues through the middle, and you get a tart dark chocolate after taste. Got some toasted malts on the finish and there is a decent level of bitterness. This is just too much chocolate for me. I am not the biggest chocolate fan and really only like it is small doses and this is no small dose. Completely overwhelms the beer for me. Tastes like a great stout that someone put a bunch of cocoa powder in.
M - Very nice, exactly what I think a stout should be. A bit creamy, but not too thick, not flat but not too much carbonation. Finishes nice and smooth.
D - One bomber and I am done, feels too much like I am drinking strong chocolate milk rather than beer.
Overall, I really appreciate what Rogue has done here. They have pushed the limit and not just made a chocolate stout but an über one. Unfortunately, this just doesn't work for me. I can why so many people like it so much and it does taste like a good beer...with just too much chocolate.

This is dessert in a bottle! It poured a jet black color with a dark brown head that settled into a pillow of foam after about 1 min. The smell was all chocolate, just like sniffing the inside of a truffle. The taste was just amazing with a great chocolate sweetness and just enough hops to balance out the flavor. This is one that could be enjoyed with cake or ice cream or just by its self. What a beer!

A: a thick black pour with a quicly receding thin tan head.
S: melted milk chocolate overwhelms the nose.
T: a simple stout consisting of sweet chocolates and dark malts with an aftertaste of oats.
MF/D: a silky smooth sip with a simple medium-bodied mouthfeel, too much could lead to chocolate overload due to its sweetness.

Pours a pitch-black color. Smells like a big chunk of chocolate. Tastes of (what else) chocolate, but is also quite hoppy, as per usual with a Rogue brew.
Overall, not a bad beer, just waaay too much to drink in one sitting (I'd settle for 6 or 7 oz once in a while). I doubt I'd buy again, unless I have someone to share with (which isn't likely...).

CNHI News Service
— A knock came on the cabin door, and someone — a steward or the father and son from the next room — had a warning for Elizabeth Lines and her 16-year-old daughter, Mary.
Wake up. Get moving.
"They were told, 'This is serious,'" says Bradford Wellman, 80. "'Get your life jackets on. And get up on deck.'"
On its 100th anniversary, the sinking of the Titanic remains for many an obsession. But few have as much reason as Wellman to be fascinated by the story.
His mother and grandmother made it to a lifeboat that night, Mary Lines clutching a flashlight from the cabin.
Absent that escape, Wellman said with a grin, "I wouldn't be here."
Wellman lives with his wife in a retirement community in Scarborough, Maine. His mother lived most of her life in Topsfield, Mass., a Boston suburb.
Mary Wellman seldom spoke of that dreadful April night in 1912, he recalls. Mother and daughter were on their way from Southampton, England, to New York to attend brother Howard's graduation from Dartmouth. By some accounts, they were traveling first class; Wellman thinks second class is more likely.
In any case, he said, the voyage began an interval of sorrow and horror that drove Wellman's mother to a mental breakdown.
She only began to speak of her experiences aboard Titanic with the publication in 1955 of the book "A Night to Remember" by Walter Lord, said Wellman. The author neglected to include her name among the survivors, and she contacted him about the error.
Perhaps the title had an impact, too, because Mary Wellman, who died in 1975, began to feel it was indeed a night to remember. "She started to talk about it," her son said. "But not a great deal."
It was a freezing, black night but a calm sea. Passengers faced the choice of being set adrift in lifeboats in the frigid Atlantic or staying aboard the unsinkable Titanic. At first, they mostly chose the latter. (The Titanic had only enough lifeboats for one-third of the more than 2,000 passengers.)
"Hers was one of the lifeboats they let go unfilled," said Wellman. "It pulled away." And there must have been misgivings on board because there was virtually nothing in the way of survival gear.
"Just the oars," he said.
In their lifeboat on a dark night, Mary and her mother were at least grateful to have the flashlight, hoping if worse came to worst they could use it to alert a passing vessel, said Wellman. "It was the only light they had."
Before their eyes, slowly but inexorably, the mighty Titanic disappeared into a black ocean. All lifeboats gone, desperate people began to leap into the icy water.
Heart-rending pleas for help reached the Lineses and others who "wanted to go back and pick people up. The crew would not do it. They were afraid the boat would be swamped." Wellman shrugged grimly. "Understandably."
He added, "Mother remembered all her life the cries of the people in the water, dying."
As those desperate voices weakened and died out, a freezing night followed, the huddled survivors not knowing what would become of them. Mary would later speak of the kindness of passengers and crew aboard Carpathia, the British steamship that picked them up in the morning.
Meanwhile, her father, a doctor working in France for an American insurance company, was frantic for days until he learned his wife and daughter had survived.
In the aftermath of the disaster, the family retreated to Paris. But before too many months, in 1914, World War I broke out. Dr. Ernest Lines devoted himself to treating French soldiers horribly mutilated in the fighting, paraplegics and quadriplegics.
Mary worked as a nurse's aide caring for casualties streaming in from a front a mere 20 miles off. Again, she endured the cries of the dying.
Mary Lines had recovered from what her son describes as a nervous breakdown in 1920 when she married Sargent Holbrook Wellman, an American soldier she'd met in France. They settled in Massachusetts in 1923.
The Wellmans had three children, then grandchildren. The family retained Mary's flashlight along with a reservation ticket for a Titanic deck chair, keepsakes of a calamity.
Looking back on his mother's brush with history, Bradford Wellman said, "I don't think it's changed my life." His mother was a cheerful person. And knowing what she survived made him "more respectful" of both her and his grandmother.
Unafraid of the sea, Wellman said he's made several trips to Antarctica aboard cruise ships, adding: "I've seen a lot of icebergs."
Yet, he's never seen the Titanic movies. Nor would he join a sea excursion to the site of the wreck off the coast of Newfoundland.
Museums and articles about the Titanic do draw his attention. Asked why the story endures, he citeed some of his reading.
"The sinking was a disillusionment, a tragedy of the newly engineered mechanical world," he says. People had marveled as one incredible invention followed another, electric engines and lights, automobiles, moving pictures, telephones, ships with massive propellers shrinking the seas.
"Suddenly, one of these great wonders engineered by mankind was flawed," he says.
Less flawed were the men who stood to one side and allowed mostly women and children to access the lifeboats — "and the wives who decided to stay with their husbands."
He tells his mother's story with the ease of someone who has shared the same tale many times before. But there is a reason he hasn't seen the movies.
Wellman recalls visiting a Titanic museum in London and pausing over an engagement ring recovered from the wreck. Passing the various exhibits he'd been fine, but now at the end he stared at that ring, a symbol of loss, of interrupted dreams, of all the cruel memories his mother had carried in her heart.
And he began to weep.

Who cares about the crap personnel on this team? It's crap. Hire Ryan if possible - as head coach.
I thought Java only wanted Jon Gruden as HC and no other.
9 seasons and he's never once had a defense ranked in the top 15 for points allowed,
It's easy to cherry pick particular stats and say something sucks.You ask "in what way?".Simple. Look at last years pass defense and see how not only the CBs were exposed, but every player that essentially dropped back into coverage. Rob Ryan would yield better results than the combo of Schiano/Sheridan. Absolutely no doubt in my mind about that.
Quote from: STERN11354 on January 09, 2013, 07:06:40 AMI thought Java only wanted Jon Gruden as HC and no other.When you can't have Gru, you just have to look for an upgrade from Schiano.

Journal: LaPorta awaits Futures
All-Star showcase, new baseball landscape loom for slugger
Matt LaPorta, the former Florida Gators star, burst onto the scene in his pro debut in 2007 after being drafted seventh overall by the Milwaukee Brewers. He hit 12 homers in only 115 at-bats (30 games) to lead the Minors in HR/AB ratio, then went on to lead the Arizona Fall League with six more roundtrippers in 30 contests. He also finished second in the AFL in RBIs and total bases.
Editor's note: Matt wrote this entry before learning that he'd been traded to Cleveland in a deal to bring C.C. Sabathia to Milwaukee. You can be sure his next journal will include news of that big change, as well as his report on participating in the Futures Game.
Hello again, this is Matt LaPorta, and I hope everyone is doing well.
We just got back into town from a 10-game road trip against the (Carolina) Mudcats and (Tennessee) Smokies. This week, we are playing four games against the (Birmingham) Barons, and then we'll be off to face the (Chattanooga) Lookouts for five games before the All-Star break.
Recently, they made the selections for the Futures All-Star Game, and I was invited to play on Team USA, which will go up against the World Team on Sunday, July 13, at Yankee Stadium. The game will be broadcast on ESPN2. It is such a great honor to have been invited to play on this team, because there is so much great talent out there in Minor League Baseball. I am extremely excited to go to New York and get a chance to play in Yankee Stadium -- that in itself is a dream come true.
I also made the Southern League All-Star Team, which I was very pleased with because, again, there are a lot of good players in this league. My team, the Huntsville Stars, had eight players selected to the All-Star Team. This game is going to be held at the Carolina Mudcats' home, Five County Stadium, in Zebulon, N.C. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend that game, because I will be in New York for the Futures Game.
That's all I've got for this journal. I hope everyone enjoyed reading, and I look forward to writing again and answering your emails after the All-Star break.
Take care and God bless.
Verse of the Journal: "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." Matthew 5:8

Dodgers acquire veteran outfielder Rivera
Club designates journeyman outfielder Thames for assignment
LOS ANGELES -- Trying to address their hole in left field, the Dodgers on Tuesday acquired right-handed hitter Juan Rivera and cash from the Toronto Blue Jays for a player to be named or cash. Outfielder Marcus Thames was designated for assignment in a related move.
Rivera, 33, was hitting .243 with six home runs and 28 RBIs when he was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays on July 3. But he was hitting .327 against left-handed pitching, with a .909 OPS.
"Juan will be the right-handed counterpart to Tony Gwynn Jr. in left field, and he can fill in at first base," said general manager Ned Colletti.
Rivera is only two seasons removed from slugging 25 homers with 88 RBIs for the Angels, who traded him and Mike Napoli to the Blue Jays in January in the Vernon Wells deal. Toronto will pick up almost all of the remainder of Rivera's $5.25 million salary. Rivera, who began his career with the Yankees, also played for the Montreal Expos.
Rivera can also play first base, where he would be a right-handed backup to James Loney.
The Venezuela native has appeared in six American League Division Series, three AL Championship Series and one World Series, in 2003 with the Yankees, for a total 36 postseason games. He also played for Venezuela in the inaugural World Baseball Classic in 2006.
Thames was signed to a $1 million free-agent contract to be a right-handed-hitting platoon left fielder. While dealing with leg injuries, he has hit only .197 with two homers and seven RBIs.

Every day, naughty Kuroki Ichihate gets to suck a dick until it cums in her mouth, and she so looks forward to it that her mouth is open ready to go in this POV blowjob. She looks up at the camera as her lips travel up and down his shaft, soaking it in her drool from shaft to tip. She moans on it while her pussy is being massaged with a vibrator, and that makes him cum in her mouth.
Everything on teen Kuroki Ichihate´s body is beautiful from head to toe, but it´s quite hard to not notice that beautiful ass she´s got! The camera notices it and this guy definitely notices it when she´s sitting on his face and he´s burying his tongue in her pussy. That´s not all he buries in there, as he bends her over and fucks her until he´s cumming on her ass cheeks.
Ickika Kuroki is a pretty young Japanese grl, who enjoys office work. Dressing in her smart office suit and working hard to be successful. She now has a new place to work, and they want tomake use of different talents of the sweet Japanese girl. She is by her slender wrists and ankles, and used by the horny men in the work place. her pantyhose gets torn, and her nice ass is closely inspected, and her pussy gets fingered, and stimulated by sex toys.
For Ichika Kuroki, this isn´t a place of business; it´s a place to get fucked while everyone´s watching! So when she strolls in with just her bikini on, it´s hard for it not to be a distraction. It´s even harder to do work while she´s bent over your desk and getting fucked, or riding a dick in your office chair, or drinking cum on your desk.
That tight swimsuit that Kuroki Ichihate has hugging her sexy teen body doesn´t leave much to the imagination, huh? Especially when it´s doused in oil and we can see her nipples and her gorgeous ass all shiny! She gets her thong swimsuit pulled to the side as he slams his cock inside of her, and takes it all off to get him balls deep inside her pussy.
This is just the hottest sex slave action that you could hope to see. Hot Japanese MILF Ichika Kuroki is kept in a tiny cage, released only to learn the pleasures that her guard desires. She is and gagged, and gets her pussy sucked and fingered by his rough hands, pulling her cunt lips wide apart. Her fucks her tight litle hole in every way that he can think of, to penetrate her to the full extent of his hard shaft, and finishes er lesson by leaving lots of cum on her face.
You don´t normally see sex go down in a hospital, but you don´t normally see nurses as horny as Ichika Kuroki, either. On a gurney that´s meant for hurt patients, she´s hopping up there and getting her pussy fucked with a dildo! She gets boned at the help desk, and even in a patient´s room over their bed before getting a dose of hot cream.
A hot teen like Kuroki Ichihate can only tease for so long before all that teasing has to pay off, and it pays off big for these two guys in this threesome. After she does some face sitting with that sexy round ass of hers, it´s time for her to get banged hard from behind. She´s being folded up like an accordion and pounded deep, getting cum on her face and ass.
These Asian students are so focused on their studies that they don´t even break focus when this hot piece of ass Ichika Kuroki is fucking right in front of them! She slides her sexy body in stockings all over these guys while taking on a big cock, bending over and being drilled, and even riding the dick while in the front of the classroom.
Ichika Kuroki will definitely get you off in this hot fucking video as you will be seeing this sweet sensation in some of the wildest group action that will definitely leave you spanking the monkey like there is no tomorrow. Watch this babe giving a really fucking hot double blowjob with lots of deep throat and watch this hottie really getting down and dirty with the wildest dick riding action where she ends up with lots of cum on her body.

East's Baldwin is T-N Runner of the Year
Tue. December 11, 2012 at 10:00 p.m. | By Dean Hensley

The records keep on shattering for East Henderson's boys cross country team, and the athlete doing the shattering is just in his second year of competing at the varsity level: sophomore Tanis Baldwin.
Baldwin went wild in 2012, earning the conference title, the regional title, and he capped it off with his first-ever 3-A state title with a personal-best time of 15:28.30. After finishing second in the voting last year as a freshman, this year's contest wasn't close as Baldwin was named the 2012 Times-News Boys Cross Country Runner of the Year.
His 15:28.30 run at the state meet was not only a school and personal record, it was the second-fastest time in all classifications at this year's state championships in Kernersville.
Just a week later, Baldwin competed in the highly-competitive Reagan Two-Mile Tune-Up Race and set another record, with a personal-best time of 9:25.45 to finish 13th.
But Baldwin didn't stop there. Two days after Thanksgiving, he competed in the Foot Locker South Regional and had a time of 15:52 to finish in 65th place overall.
After starting the year with a fifth-place finish at the WNC Cross Country Carnival, Baldwin went on to win titles at the Eye Opener in Spartanburg, S.C., the Western Carolina Cross Country Festival in Cullowhee, the Owen Invitational and also the Wendy's Invitational in early October.
Following that race, he swept the postseason races with three more first-place finishes to finish the year with seven individual titles.

Car reviewers get a chance to drive a lot of new wheels throughout the year. While some cars offer basic transportation with fuel economy high on the list, others opt for pure adrenaline-rushing performance at any cost.
When it comes to midsized family sedans, the Kia Optima ranks high on my list for its good looks, economy and value. The little known car from Korea has a European flair with a German-like feel behind the wheel.
Since being redesigned in 2011, the Optima doubled its sales volume last year to lead the brand out of obscurity. All this while few people on the road recognize the car as a Kia.
Without its exterior badging, the Optima could be mistaken for a VW Passat, corporate sibling Hyundai Sonata, Lexus ES 350 or side view BMW 5-Series. Its sleek styling and aggressive stance have created a family sedan that, well, defies the traditional family sedan.
All this fame brings up the company's biggest challenge with their Optima, that of overcoming Kia's early years of producing unexciting cars.
The Optima is built in the U.S. and this year offers consumers three model choices, LX, EX and SX as well as a gas-electric hybrid. Pricing starts at $21,350.
The SX press fleet car I tested for a week was equipped with nearly every option, tilting the scales in the mid $30s, high for its class. Most buyers would not order all three option packages, Premium Touring, Technology and Limited especially when the base car includes plenty of standard equipment.
Powering the tester was a spirited four cylinder, turbocharged and tuned for up to 34 highway miles per gallon of regular. My driving experience netted lower numbers than EPA test results.
The sprint from 0-60 miles per hour is achieved in a brisk 6.4 seconds, a little quicker than its class. The engine delivers 274 horsepower to its front wheels through a six-speed sportmatic transmission with paddle shifters mounted to the steering wheel.
