It is with great enthusiasm that Habitat for Humanity recognizes Congress for passing the Kids in Disasters Well-being, Safety, and Health Act of 2007. The WISH Act, which was strongly supported by Habitat, creates a national commission on children and disasters that will include a housing expert as a member, assess housing recovery and other needs of children and their families following disasters, and will make recommendations to improve future government responses to post-disaster needs, including housing.
There is no doubt that children are among the most vulnerable individuals in the wake of a disaster or emergency. This commission offers the opportunity to achieve significant disaster recovery reforms, ensuring that children and families affected by future disasters have the tools necessary to rebuild their homes and lives.
Mark Shriver, vice president and managing director of Save the Children's U.S. Programs, Senator Christopher Dodd (D-Conn.) and Representative Corrine Brown (D-Fla.) should also be thanked for the strong leadership they provided in support of this initiative.
Habitat for Humanity completed an online campaign that helped recruit more than 8,500 volunteers who advocated for this post-disaster housing legislation in the U.S. Congress. These online advocates and all others who supported the act must be commended for their critical role in ensuring that children affected by disasters will now receive the protection they need. This is a tremendous victory and Habitat will continue to support efforts that change systems, policies and attitudes that move us toward achieving decent housing for all.

Committee chairman MK Uri Ariel (National Union) slammed finance minister Yuval Steinitz on Tuesday for failing to attend a State Control Committee hearing regarding the state comptroller's Carmel fire probe.
Steinitz, whom the report said should take "special responsibility" for the December 2010 disaster, sent his apologies and asked his deputy to attend the hearing in his stead.
"We do not excuse anyone," Ariel said as the meeting opened, referring pointedly to Steinitz. "Everyone named in the report must attend. There is nothing to fear by coming here, we are not a court and God forbid we are not executioners."
Ariel noted that the committee has the power to issue injunctions to compel people to attend, and said he would use that power in future if necessary.
The chairman added that there will be a further meeting on August 7 and that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu - who was also invited to attend and who sent his apologies - will participate.
State Comptroller Micha Lindenstrauss's scathing probe into the Carmel Fire, published last month, said Interior Minister Eli Yishai as well as Steinitz should take "particular responsibility" for serious failures in the country's firefighting system.
The report slammed Steinitz for making desperately-needed funding for the firefighting service contingent on extensive, long-term reforms.
Meanwhile, Lindenstrauss said Yishai failed to take responsibility for the firefighting services' operational readiness in an emergency, even though he did press for more funding.
44 people lost their lives in the fire, the worst in Israeli history. Among them were 37 Prison Service cadets and their commanding officers, who died along with their driver when their bus was engulfed by flames.
They were on the way to Damon Prison to evacuate its prisoners. Three senior police officers, two firefighters and a 16- year-old volunteer firefighter also died.
The fire caused widespread damage to land and property, totaling million of shekels. An estimated 1.5 million trees were destroyed.
Also present at Tuesday's meeting were incoming State Comptroller, Judge Joseph Shapira, Yishai, Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch (Yisrael Beytenu), Knesset speaker Reuven Rivlin.
Yishai appeared tense during the hearing, briefly holding his head in his hands as Ariel said the report revealed a "harsh reality of conflict within government ministries."
"Sometimes it appears as if [ministries] forgot about their responsibility vis-à-vis the public," Ariel said, adding that there had been "leadership blindness". "The disaster could have been avoided if someone had taken responsibility," he added.
Yishai admitted to the meeting that the "writing was on the wall" when he began his tenure as interior minister three years ago.
"I saw a fire fighting system that had serious deficiencies, because of the fact that funding had been made conditional on reform," Yishai said, referring to criticism in the report that Steinitz had predicated funding on extensive reform of the firefighting system. "I saw that this could be a problem, but I never predicted such a serious disaster," the interior minister added.
Public security minister Aharonovitch praised Lindenstrauss's office for what he said was a "very professional" report.Aharonovitch said his ministry is dealing with the issues and suggestions raised in the report.
"I am responsible for the police and the prison service, and I have a parliamentary and ministerial responsibility, and recently the responsibility for the fire services was also transfered to me, after the Carmel Fire. I did not wait for the draft [comptroller's] report, from early on we sent investigatory teams out to the organizations [we are in charge of]," he said. The public security minister said that in the fire service there were large gaps in procurement, equipment, resources and training.

This is from Mike, W2MJZ…Dan
I just just came across the 2005 version of the Motorola U.S. Standards and Guidelines for Communications Sites (Motorola R56) as a downloadable PDF. This highly detailed document is the absolute gold standard for radio communications site construction. The 518 page book details a very wide range of topics such as grounding, power distribution, safety, and accepted radio communication site construction practices.
Unlike the very limited and sometimes ambiguous material found in NEC with regard to correct radio communications site practices, the Motorola standard goes into great depth in areas of real concern to the amateur radio operator. What should also be noted is that this document is not a dry complex engineering level text, but rather, it is a user friendly, well illustrated guide geared towards professional radio communications technicians and installers.
I haven't had much time to review the entire manual, but from what little I've seen it's well worth downloading.

Quick Links: Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Monthly Calendar | Newsletter E-Course Sign Up
You know that if you want to lose weight, you have to exercise, but finding an exercise program you can stick with isn't easy. In fact, some numbers suggest that half of people who start exercising will quit within six months, most within the first two months. The most common reasons you may quit exercising:
- You're not physically or mentally ready for the amount of exercise you need to get results.
- You do too much too soon and quit because of burnout, soreness or injury.
- You're afraid of failure
- You're too busy to fit in the exercise you need to get results
- Results aren't fast enough and you feel like you're wasting your time
- You get confused about how to start exercising and overwhelmed by everything you're supposed to be doing
- You're bored with your workouts
Do you recognize any of those reasons? All of those reasons? If so, it may be time for you to forget what you've tried in the past and focus on the most important rule of exercise: Showing up for your workouts. If your workouts are too hard or too confusing, too boring or just don't fit into your schedule or lifestyle, you aren't going to show up for them and that's a guarantee you won't lose any weight.
Rather than waste time on programs you can't keep up with or focusing on weight loss goals you never meet, maybe it's time to come at this from a different angle. Why not forget about the scale, at least for the time being, and start with a level of exercise that feels good to your body and your mind?
This 4-Week Jumpstart Workout Program offers exactly that: A flexible, points-based program that allows you to do three important things: Create a workout schedule that fits your life, have a specific, reachable goal each week and time to build strength, endurance and, most important, an exercise habit that you can sustain into the future.
The Program
This 4-week program, which you can follow online or by signing up for the email newsletter course, offers cardio and core workouts that get progressively more challenging each week. For each workout you complete, you'll get a certain number of points. These points are based on three elements of your workouts:
- Frequency
- Duration of your cardio workouts and/or number of exercises for strength workouts
- Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) for cardio workouts and/or reps for strength workouts
To calculate your points for cardio workouts: (Frequency x Duration x RPE) = Total Points for Cardio
To calculate points for strength/core workouts: (Frequency x No. of Exercises x Reps) = Total Points for Strength/Core
Add them together and you'll get your total exercise points for the week. The great thing is, you can manipulate one or more of these elements to create the perfect workout schedule. For example, if you don't have much time to exercise, you can still get all of your points by increasing either the frequency or intensity (RPE). If you only have a few days to exercise, you can increase the duration or, again, increase your RPE in order to reach your points goal.
Each week, your points will increase with slightly longer workouts and/or changes in reps or exercises for your core workouts.
How is This Program Different?
- Focus on points, not weight loss: We can't always predict how much weight we'll lose, even if we follow all the diet/exercise rules. We can, however, get an exact amount of exercise each day and it's that accomplishment that eventually leads to weight loss.
- Flexibility: You have a goal for a certain number of points and you'll have suggested workouts and exercises, but how and when you meet those goals is up to you.
- Simplicity: You won't see traditional strength training in this program, just cardio and core. That means you won't need any equipment - at least not yet - and your workouts will be simple. Of course, strength training is important for losing weight, among other things. However, for many beginners, doing both cardio and strength is just too much. They feel sore, tired and, sometimes, may even sabotage themselves by eating more calories to compensate for those extra workouts. For this phase of the program, you won't have to worry about any of that and, by the time you finish, you'll be stronger, fitter and ready for the strength workouts in Phase 2 of this program.
Getting Started:
- Sign up for the 4 Week Jumpstart Workout Program E-Course to receive weekly newsletters, or follow the program online. Get started with Week 1.
- Choose your workout schedule for the week from the available options or make your own schedule. Schedule your workouts in your calendar for the entire week.
- Choose your cardio - There are cardio workouts included, but you should choose an activity like: Walking, running, cardio machines, swimming, cycling, exercise videos, etc.
- Monitor your intensity - All workouts are done at a moderate intensity, which is around a Level 5 Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) on this perceived exertion chart: You should be just out of your comfort zone, but still be able to talk. You can also use the talk test and/or a heart rate monitor or a combination of these methods.
- Add up your points at the end of the week
- Reward yourself - If you met or exceeded your goal, reward yourself with a massage, a night out, new workout clothes or some other activity you enjoy.
- Make changes - If you didn't meet your goal, figure out where you went wrong and use that information to make changes for the next week.
If you're ready, sign up now to receive a weekly newsletter with your exercise assignments, or follow the program online starting with Week 1.

Feature Story — Michael Robinson: Peace Within The Storm
Dehydration. Kidney failure. Liver failure. Rapid weight loss. Job loss.
All were part of a whirlwind of bad news for Seattle Seahawks fullback Michael Robinson. And though the seeming chaos would likely have been too much to handle for most, Robinson never feared in the midst of his trial. Jump back to the morning of August 17, just before Seattle was to host a preseason game against the Denver Broncos, the same Super Bowl XLVIII opponent of the Seahawks… Continue reading

GDANSK, POLAND -- The wild pig problem in Gdansk, Poland is so bad, the mayor has issued "shoot on sight" orders.
First, you have to hire someone with a gun.
The wild pigs aren't afraid of people --obviously -- and they can be dangerous.
G'dansk is a city of 450-thousand people...and these animals have moved right in.
Feral pigs are prolific breeders, and females can have several litters with up to a dozen piglets a year.
Females and their piglets live in family groups, and there's a danger the sows could attack.
Only legal hunters in Gdansk are authorized to shoot wild boars, so civilians who want to kill the animals have to hire a hunter. According to National Geographic, wild pigs now live on every continent except Antarctica.

"I Forgot What It's Like to Want Sex"
"Jim and I used to have a great sex life," said Cassie, a stunning redhead who has a grown daughter from a previous marriage. "We've been married six years -- it's a second marriage for both of us -- and until three years ago we felt, and acted, like newlyweds.
"Now, I have absolutely no sexual desire. The juices never flow, the heat never happens. I want to be more interested in sex, but I'm just not. I've gained twenty pounds over the last few years; it's hard to feel sexy when I feel so frumpy. Still, I'm convinced that the hysterectomy I had three years ago is the real cause of my problems. Since then, I've seen two gynecologists and tried everything from hormone replacement therapy to herbal and homeopathic remedies to improve my libido. Nothing helps.
"Jim and I haven't made love in months and months. On the rare occasion that we do, it's nothing like it used to be. I feel put upon -- almost as if it's a chore -- and Jim feels that I'm doing him a big favor. I've tried to explain that I love him and still find him attractive; I'm just not in the mood. For instance, the other night I came home from work, and while I was hanging up my coat, he walked up behind me and started kissing my neck. I knew where that was heading -- but I was exhausted and the last thing I wanted was sex. I told him to stop it. Whenever I rebuff him like this, he either pouts or, worse, explodes. Jim has a short fuse and can blow up in a heartbeat. He acts the same way if he thinks I'm ignoring his family, criticizing him about some unpaid bill, or asking for time by myself.

Stand Up for Better Media!
by sirius, Fri Nov 02, 2007 at 12:32:50 PM EDT
On Halloween, there was something scary happening in Washington, DC. The FCC was holding its final public hearing on localism and media consolidation, and they scheduled it only a week in advance, in the middle of the week, on a holiday. Clearly, they hoped nobody would show up.
Fortunately, thanks to the wonderful people at Free Press, there were hundreds of committed citizens there. I was one of them.

NORMAL, Ill -- The Coffeehouse & Deli in Normal is more of a help yourself and dive-in establishment than it is a dine-in experience.
For what the Bohemian approach lacks in table-side service, it compensates in price, preparation, and vegetarian variety.
"It's an all-vegetarian restaurant," said Barusta Regan King. "[It's] one of the only places in town where you can get a vegan breakfast. We've got our Tofu Scrambler, our Spicy Tofu Sandwich, vegan salads."
The menu has eleven vegan entrees and nine vegan sides labeled along the column.
Even the meat-eaters we spoke with were happy with what they ate.
"Whatever looks good, and this was fantastic," said regular customer Gillian Bosquet. "So I picked it and it's great. I'm not even vegan, but I picked a Vegan Falafel."
"It's nice that there's someplace like this here," said vegetarian and IWU student Megan George. "But I don't eat meat, so it's very nice to have. I thin this is probably the only vegetarian restaurant in town."
We arrived for brunch, so Josh Simon ordered the Breakfast Quesadilla.
Josh was skeptical as a carnivore walking in to veggie restaurant, but he said he was both surprised and satisfied that the eggs do a nice job of substituting chicken or steak.
I dare any meat-eater to declare the Tofu Scrambler tastes like vegan food.
The soy sausage and scrambled tofu dish perfectly disguises itself as any of the best meat-based skillets I've eaten.
I also had a side of Tofu Bacon, which sort of looks like bacon, but that's where the resemblance ends.
They even have vegan desserts like cupcakes or fried banana, both of which were delicious.
Our bill with hot chocolate and coffee was a mere $21.73 plus tip.
"I think a lot of people like it, because it's quiet, people can study," King said with a nod and with a smile. "A lot of people come here for group meetings, and it's a good atmosphere."
The Coffeehouse & Deli in Uptown Normal is open Monday through Saturday 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Pearl Izumi Elite Thermal Bib Tights - No Chamois - Men's $129.95
No chamois, no problem.
Pearl Izumi designed its new Elite Thermal Bib Tights with layering in mind. Besides being constructed with advanced fabrics that work to keep you warm and dry, the bib tights were built without a chamois, allowing you to choose exactly what type of shorts and layering system to wear underneath.
For the construction of the bib tights, Pearl Izumi used panels of its Elite Thermal Fleece fabric. This material is essentially two of Pearl Izumi's advanced materials in one. It relies on the exceptional moisture transporting properties of its Transfer fabric in order to keep you dry, while the lightweight brushed fleece interior helps to insulate your leg muscles. The Transfer fabric is known for its exceptional moisture management, which works by pulling sweat from your skin to the quick-drying outer-surface of the material. This fabric earned its reputation of setting the standard for moisture management fabrics, largely because it's the foundation for the breathable, wicking fabrics used in the majority of Pearl Izumi's spring/summer jerseys. A lightweight thermal fleece material was then blended with the Transfer, providing just the right amount of insulating protection. Moving up from the legs, Pearl Izumi constructed the bib portion with a lightweight mesh for added comfort and support. Together, these materials work as a system to keep you warm, dry, and comfortable during your early and late season rides.
The elasticity in the panels, along with constructed leg articulation, allow the tights to follow your movements in the saddle. This means that the fit is free from any bunching, pinching, or chafing while in the cycling position. Pearl Izumi calls this its 'form fit,' which is cut to closely follow the contours of your body while still providing a full range of motion. Combined with the anatomic cut and elastic Elite Thermal fabric, the smooth flatlock stitching used to join the bib tights' panels further reduces any friction at the seams.
The bibs were finished off with eight-inch lower leg zippers that flow into the contoured leg openings. With the zippers featuring internal draft flaps, and the leg openings providing added coverage over your shoes and booties, your lower legs and feet retain warmth and stay shielded from the elements. Additionally, silicone grippers at the ankles keep the tights securely in place, and reflective elements keep you visible to motorists in low-light riding conditions.
The Pearl Izumi Elite Thermal Bib Tights are available in five sizes from Small to XX-Large and in the color Black/black. Please note that these bib tights do not include a chamois.

- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I received these tonight via UPS from competitivecyclist.com today and decided to use them right away. It was 25 degrees with a 20mph wind (making it feel like 11 degrees). It never gets that cold in Tennessee (so I did not buy this for that weather) but I must say that they did the job well.
I am 5' 11", 195lbs, 42 chest, 34 waist, 32 inseam. I bought size Large and it fits very well - might have been an inch long, but i loved it because it covered the tops of my shoes and stopped the wind.
They are lined in a thin fleece from the bottom of the leg up to where the straps begin - so a little over the waist. They do NOT have a chamois which is great for 2 reasons: you can wear your regulars bibs underneath them for warmth and padding and for me, i can also use them for running. The leg cuff has light elastic and a short zipper that is covered so it does not rub. I am very happy with my purchase.

Why doesn't Arrillaga build his complex on the other side of El Camino - at Palo Alto and Quarry.

>Why doesn't Arrillaga build his complex on the other side of El Camino - at Palo Alto and Quarry.
Why doesn't Palo Alto get over its obsession with old buildings, especially those designed by noted architects? The building in question is a watering hole (booze) that is not of the original meaning a hostess house (return and reunion of WWI soldiers with their families). It was moved to its current site from Menlo Park. There is no way that we should be supporting its continuation, if it means that we have to give up playing fields.

People in obsessed with " historic" buildings, especially if a "pseudo famous" name is attached-- hence the Le affair with the hostess house and anything connected with Eichler. You would have thought that the city would have learned something from the slap,on the wrist administered by the voters a decade ago when they rejected the historic home grab. Unfortunately the architect behind that is on the council and she still has her blinders on

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) - A winter storm system that dropped rain and snow across much of Arizona is starting to move east while a second storm is expected Saturday.

The storm brought heavy rain to Phoenix overnight with amounts ranging from a quarter-inch to three-quarters of an inch. Tucson got more than half an inch of rain and snow was still falling on Mount Lemmon at daybreak Friday, with about a foot expected by the end of the day.
Weather service meteorologist Chris Outler says rain and snow will taper off Friday morning but will persist in eastern Arizona until early afternoon.

time for action and lemon loaf
24 comments:
- Kate's Cupcakes said...
Nothing I love more than lemon poppyseed goodness! Will try this recipe as soon as my course load permits me to!
I must say, I am a huge fan of your empowering blog posts, as of late. (Any post with a recipe is a thumbs up in my book) It seems like the main issues with girls under 18 and their relationship patterns is that the pressure to have a boyfriend, overpowers any negative aspect of the relationship. Because, let's face it... would you rather have a "boyfriend" who neglects your wants or needs but is, for lack of a better word... still a "boyfriend" or, a group of girls spreading nasty rumors about you for not having a "boyfriend" at all? It's a dangerous bullying web they weave, in middle through high school. I truly believe that as children, their only hope is to get such grounding advice from parents such as yourself. Keep it up Saucy!

Yum looking loaf!

I hope to raise my future children with such convictions! And to be quite honest, I would have any girl I know under 18 join such a movement!
- March 25, 2010
Saucy, you are so right! This generation needs to wake up and smell the baked goods! I am going to talk to my granddaughter about this very thing this weekend, and although she is only 11, the seed should be planted early for best root absorption. Thank you for brining this to our attention. You rock! Candy

Yum to the bread!
As for the entitled generation who have won the right to equality without any fight and are now cheerfully pissing all of their rights away without a second thought--look out! You totally deserve what's coming to you. SHAME on you for not taking the gifts from Alice Paul and Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Margaret Sanger and Susan B Anthony and flying even higher!
- March 25, 2010
- Saucy said...
Agreed. Thanks to the likes of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, this generation is taking off their bras for entirely the wrong reasons.

- Megan said...
Well Saucy - your breakup email the other night has been stewing in my head so I have to write. I don't doubt that you witnessed what you witnessed at the playdium - but I am here to tell you that there are loads of girls who Gloria Steinam is cheering on! You have huge power to start the movement - start with those Cheerios! After I read the email the other night - I really wanted to hear the boys side. Let's face facts - girls can be a bit dramatic - because frankly (and don't flame me for this) was it possible that Roxy overreacted to the breakup. How serious could they have been at 15? I don't think they are even allowed to drive. Was it possible that the boy had tried to delicately (and let's give him a break too - he is only a 15 year old boy - and kids text each other constantly from across the room - why should the breakup be any different - in his mind) give her clues that he no longer wanted to date and she chose to ignore his signals - GEE I know 36 year old women (cough me cough) who are guilty of that.
Your breakup advice was spot on! You break up (walk away and don't look back) you spend a few hours,days moping with some Ben and Jerry, then you doll yourself up, and go catch the next fish!
I struggle with this - I am the single mom of a 10 month old girl - and I wonder how do I teach her to have a healthy relationship and stand strong on her own two feet - when I have not learned it.
I hope you keep this dialogue going as you journey through this with Loopy and Buddy and Roxy.

@ Candy - 11 is not too young - it's perfect!! Woman of the world - we hold coats and video game seats for NO MAN or BOY!
- March 25, 2010
- Megan said...
UH OH - I am a little fired up about this subject.
- March 25, 2010
- Clandestine Road said...
I am also aghast that girls seem to have so little self respect and so little a sense of self. I am so grateful for your observations and call to action. Here's to taking back femininity from being a spectacle and realigning it with feminism!
- March 25, 2010
- Coco said...
Wow. Your loaf sounds so good. I want some.
I am greatly disturbed about the way girls let guys run over them. I don't understand. I grew up in the time that girls were breaking free from these things, women were breaking the molds and glass ceilings. What gives? I also hear about violence and abuse happening in these teen relationships. It totally irks me.
- March 25, 2010
- Michelle said...
Sadly, I'd say the trend is good practice for the marriages that are soon to follow...wife works, raises the kids, cleans the house, etc. while the man (if he works at all) comes home and plays video games until bedtime. An all too common scenario these days!
- March 25, 2010
- Saucy said...
Sweet Megan,
I'd NEVER flame you for voicing your opinion - especially when you had the courage to put your name to it rather than ANONYMOUS ;)
You make several good points. Here is the "guy" side from what I know of it: things were fine, just wonderful in fact... for a teen relationship. They don't even go to the same school. And your point about not even driving yet is spot-on, in fact, The Fan said exactly the same thing... nothing can be THAT serious if you can't even drive to see each other :)
But without divulging too much about Roxy's personal life - 'cause that ain't my style - I will tell you these are my "coach" observations"
Boyfriend always waxed enthusiastic about her to her friends, as late as last week.
She didn't cry or overreact at all, but her giant peepers did get all watery and of course the rest of the Cheerios jumped to attention when they heard what the message said, and went in for a group hug (truth be told, they find a reason for a group hug at least twice a week, so I wasn't alarmed about that part).
She gathered herself up and came to sit beside me on the bench while the team ran the routine again and I realized she was... stunned. She said, "I talked to him before cheer and things were fine. This is so final. Do you think it will blow over?" and that is when I called practice down and gave the entire group a little talking to about all this IM and online relationship junk.
Who knows what goes through the minds of teenage boys besides Doritos and Call of Duty? But I will tell any boy this: send a girl all sorts of loving and doting signals one week and dump her by IM the next, you should stick with Doritos and Call of Duty. You're not ready for dating.
Your ten month old girl will be just fine. It sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders and just because you're single now, doesn't mean it's going to stay that way. Loopy, Buddy and I bunked together in The Fan's very own master bedroom when Loops was just your daughter's age until Veto came along six years later. These things have a way of working out!
- March 25, 2010
I feel better... everything looks better on the right side of a slice of homemade lemon loaf and a cup of tea.
{Hugs} to you, Roxy and the rest of the Cheerios!
- March 25, 2010

oh Saucy, I just read through you kiss off advice, PERFECT! You shoudl teach classes to all. So true, all of it-
- March 25, 2010
- the treat girl said...
Once again, you are dead-on and addressing an issue that is running rampant in my household as well....we have taken the texting off of Cindylou's phone for a lot of those very reasons...the language they feel they can use while texting is horrid! My niece even got asked to the prom via text! Before we know people will exchange their wedding vows this way too!!!! It is crazy the way "date" different people every week.....pretty much by texting! Anyhoo......I hope have success with making your lemon loaf....because now that I'm all fired up too I need a treat!!!

I remember being that girl in college, watching my silly - but very cute - boyfriend play video games instead of doing my own thing. Which was strange because I was all sorts of being my own girl, even then.
It bums me out, picturing my girl doing such things in the next few years. I think I will recount this story to her again.

Oh Saucy, this issue has been bugging me all week - it fits with the whole Jesse James and our girl Sandy thing, too. The civility, where oh where did the civility go? The drama and the anguish of my teenage years are long past, but I would hope that teens today were doing it BETTER, not worse. I struggle with the energy I laid out for the women's movement only to see the emancipation of young women burned onto Girls gone WILD DVDs.

You know, first time i read through this i nodded in agreement (although i'm more likely to be playing the video games myself but that's another story). And I do agree that young boys need to learn respect (and many MANY young girls need to learn to not dress like a streetwalker but again, that's another rant).
But then i started thinking - how many times have we gone to the mall and seen women or girls who have their men (or boys) hold their purse while trying on things, or their soda, or their coat. Isn't this just the male version of what the mall is to a girl/woman?

LadyK makes a great point. I've seen that. Veto has, on occasion, held my bag (for a moment and mostly for the fear that if I put it down it will be grabbed or I'll forget it)... but I think most women would agree that they try to avoid doing that to their men if possible and I have seen some men downright refuse to hold a purse...
I think the thing that troubled me about what I saw that day at Playdium was a consistent, organized way of being... girls standing in line to hold spots, being sent off to the next game to hold the next spot and so on. And it wasn't just one or two lone girls holding their fellas soda, it was practically every gal in the place looking totally subservient and the worst part: not looking like they were engaged or having a good time at all. And when I say "engaged" I mean... into it or enjoying themselves. They looked downright bored.
Hey, I'd be bored too if Veto shuffled me over to the concession line to get him treats while he stayed in his seat and watched the game - and I'd gladly do it - but then he could take a turn, you know what I mean?

Mission #1: Teach young girls they are worth more than a pound of eye make-up, a 3 inch skirt and running endless errands for a punk. In short, teach them how to be a lady.
Mission #2: Bang some male heads together and teach them how to treat a lady. In short, teach them how to be A GENTLEMAN.
Mission #3: Teach every single one of them how to spell, speak and interact with each other. It's called MANNERS.

CNN: Conservative Guests are 'Controversial;' No Labels for Liberals
CNN, whose new ad claims that they "keep them all honest, without playing favorites," actually played favorites on Monday's Parker-Spitzer. Hosts Kathleen Parker and Eliot Spitzer failed to give ideological labels to their liberal guests, while clearly identifying Tim Phillips as being president of "Americans for Prosperity, a right-wing group" and labeling Bjorn Lomborg a "controversial author."
Parker and Spitzer's first guest was liberal Congressman Anthony Weiner, who appeared two minutes into the 8 pm Eastern hour. The former liberal governor introduced Weiner as merely a "Democratic representative from New York." The American Conservative Union gave the congressman a zero rating in 2008 and 2009, with a lifetime rating of 5.14. The left-of-center Americans for Democratic Action named Weiner one of their "ADA Heroes" in the House in 2009. Clearly, the New York politician is a liberal, but neither host identified him as such.
Twelve minutes later, Spitzer introduced Lomborg: "Our 'Person of Interest,' today, is Bjorn Lomborg, a controversial author with a global reputation as a skeptic on climate change. A business professor and founder of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, Lomborg argues that the consequences of climate change are vastly exaggerated, and that money spent on climate change policy would be much more effective if it were used to fight major global problems like malaria eradication or water sanitation" This wasn't the first time the former New York governor gave him this label, as he referred to the Dane as a "controversial global warming skeptic" at the top of the hour.
The author isn't even the "skeptic" that the liberal CNN host made him out to be, as he stated during the segment that global warming is "manmade and it is a problem we need to tackle." But since he isn't an alarmist like Al Gore (Parker described Lomborg as the "anti-Al Gore"), the author was still given the "controversial" label.
Just before the bottom of the hour, the two hosts brought on liberal activist and founder of Def Jam Records, Russell Simmons. Parker identified him as a "hip-hop and fashion mogul, financier, animal rights activist, avid Obama supporter, reality TV star, and author of the upcoming book, 'Super Rich.'" But even with the mentions of Simmons's animal rights cause (he criticized the media for not highlighting the "10 billion suffering farm animals") and his support for the President, the CNN hosts couldn't give him an ideological label.
Parker and Spitzer brought on Philips, an ideological conservative, immediately after their segment with Simmons. The liberal host of "Client Number Nine" infamy made his guest's political leanings immediately clear from the outset:
SPITZER: Our 'Headliner' tonight is Tim Phillips, the president of Americans for Prosperity, a right-wing group who Barack Obama claims was at the center of questionable Republican campaign spending in 2010. He called out the group at least 19 times in campaign speeches, a highly unusual level of attention from the President.
PARKER: Phillips is a major player in the rise of the Tea Party. His organization has invested heavily in the fight against health care reform. Welcome, Tim.
PHILLIPS: Nice to be here.
PARKER: How do you feel about being identified as a right-wing activist group? Is that accurate?
PHILLIPS: (laughs) I think 'free market' is the word, but we'll take whatever.
The two CNN hosts concluded the hour with their regular panel discussion segment which they call "Our Political Party." The panel consisted of Max Kellerman, a CNN contributor and HBO boxing analyst; The Daily Beast's Elise Jordan, whom Parker described as "a former speechwriter for Condoleezza Rice and also travels frequently to Afghanistan;" and John Avlon, also of The Daily Best, who regularly bashes conservatives. Despite this record, the pseudo-conservative host labeled Avlon an "aggressive centrist."
This favoritism towards liberals isn't limited to the Parker-Spitzer program. The MRC's Rich Noyes pointed out on November 12 that CNN also played "favorites" during the last four weeks prior to the midterm election. The network's liberal guests during this period outnumbered the conservative guests by a more than three-to-two margin, 61% to 39%.

These two morons are still on the air? Parker, who said she led the attack on Sarah Palin now has to see Palin's TLC ratings go through the roof on her opening night while weeks into Spitzer/Parker the only one to see the show is the cleaning lady walking by - and she's probably a Mexican illegal so she doesn't understand the language and probably doesn't realize how lucky she is.

Good grief! What is this world coming to? How can anyone give Spitzer any credibility after his colorful episode with a..umm..lady of the night, to put it nicely?
Only in America folks! This is why I love this country and unfortunately these nitwit liberals don't get it!
I, sometimes wish that they could be dropped off in Venezuela for a short (CNN) international assignment stint, as part of their job interview. There is no "freedom of the press" in Hugo Chave'z country. Maybe then, they will truly understand what this country is all about.
We are not a perfect country, we have good and bad people, but in the end; America is the best country to live because of our CONSTITUTION!!

Lomborg = Flat-Earther? No way
Submitted by Galvanic on Tue, 11/16/2010 - 4:37pm.
Spitzer's label of Lomborg as a "global warming skeptic" couldn't be further from the truth.
Lomborg believes that global warming is occuring and is at least partially attributable to human carbon-producing activity.
What Lomborg does do is . . .
A) Challenge exaggerated Doomsday-2100 claims by the likes of Gore and friends
B) Explain how most of the climate change investments advocated by the AGW-Left are both cost- and outcome-ineffective, and would result in global economic collapse with no significant effect on climate change.
But as we've witnessed in the past, anyone who challenges the accepted-and-unchallenged wisdom of the AGW Elites is labeled as a skeptic or flat-earther, to be ignored or scorned.

Lomborg, right or wrong, will
Submitted by cc1975 on Tue, 11/16/2010 - 8:16pm.
Lomborg, right or wrong, will always be labeled "controversial" because of the response to his book by the "offiicials" in his native Denmark, which basically concluded that he didn't know enough about the subject to make an educated argument about it. He was practically taken to court for his views, and that's the kind of thing that follows you around for a lifetime. Unfortunately I don't think he'll ever shed that label. While it's silly to name-call someone just for having a minority opinion, he has a documented history showing some obvious controversy. In this case, referring to him as "controversial" I think actually makes sense.

JINDAL: Great to see you again as well. Thank you for having me.
PARKER: I knew you before you were governor.
JINDAL: And I've been a fan of your columns and your writings for many years. It's great to see you on TV. Congratulations on the new show.
PARKER: Thank you, thank you. Good start. A good start.

For the Daily News
VANDALIA — St. Anthony's first-ever appearance in the Vandalia Holiday Tournament was shaping up to be a successful one on Wednesday.
The Bulldogs took the lead against the host Vandals early on in the first quarter and led by as much as 10 in the first half, as Vandalia had little luck slowing down the inside-outside combo of John Goeckner and Jacob Schuette.
Still, St. Anthony could never quite come up with that knockout blow, thanks in large part to Vandals point guard Tim Ritchey, who kept his team afloat by ending the first half with a pair of big free throws before closing the third quarter with a buzzer-beating layup.
The latter basket came off of one of Ritchey's five steals and foreshadowed a nightmarish fourth quarter for the Bulldogs (2-7), who saw a nine-point third quarter lead evaporate in a 70-65 loss to the Vandals.
A Schuette jumper with just under a minute to go in the third quarter put St. Anthony up nine points, but the Vandals outscored the Bulldogs by 14 points the rest of the way, including a 23-13 advantage in the final quarter.
Turnovers proved a huge factor in St. Anthony's demise, as the Bulldogs coughed the ball up five times in the first three minutes of the fourth, fueling a 13-4 run that put the Vandals up for good. The Bulldogs also rushed shots throughout the second half, and the little things added up to big dissapointment in St. Anthony's debut in the 41st annual event.
"We talked about doing the things you're supposed to be doing on every possession," Bulldogs coach Mark Tovey said. "It gives you a chance to be successful, but if you don't, you're never going to have a chance. Very seldom do you luck out and have something good happen when you're not doing the right things."
Back-to-back Vandalia baskets trimmed St. Anthony's lead to just five heading into the final frame, and the Vandals completed their comeback when Leyton Godoyo hit pair of free throws after Schuette was called for a charge, tying the game at 53 with about 6 1⁄2 minutes remaining.
The lead see-sawed back and forth until Godoyo converted an acrobatic layup after coming up with a steal, putting Vandalia up for good, 58-57, with a little more than five minutes remaining.
Ritchey followed with a similarly difficult layup off another Bulldogs turnover at the 5-minute mark, and Vandalia answered a Goeckner bucket with back-to-back buckets by Chase Woolsey — set up beutifully by Godoyo and Ritchey passes, respectively — to open up a five-point lead with four minutes to go.
The Bulldogs refused to go quietly, but after coming up empty on three bunnies on a particuarly frustrating possession, Michael Wells seemed to knock the wind out of St. Anthony's sails by stripping away a defensive rebound from the Bulldogs and going in for a layup that put Vandalia up 67-61 with 2:20 to go.
St. Anthony was just 2 of 7 from the floor in the final five minutes, with many of those shots being highly makeable.
"We missed a few easy ones — and I can't fault the guys for missing, but we were dissapointed, because they were easy ones," Tovey said.
The Vandals wound up hitting 10 of 16 shots from the field in their big fourth quarter, with five different players registering in the scoring column.
Vandalia also finished with just eight turnovers and managed to capitalize on St. Anthony's 14 turnovers more often than not, as many came on steals and resulted in fast-break buckets.
There were plenty of positives to take away from the game for the Bulldogs, with Goeckner's play being one of the biggest. The 6-foot-2 junior recorded another double-double with 21 points and 12 rebounds.
"He's been that way for a couple years," said Tovey of Goeckner, noting he shared time with a pair of veteran post players last year and was a bit out of his element when he playing on the wing. "Now he's getting more comfortable at the three, and when he's inside, I don't know if there's a better 6-2 worker in the post around."
Schuette led St. Anthony with 22 points on 10 for 17 shooting, but was limited to seven points in the second half.
Schuette was electric in the opening quarter, scoring 10 points — many coming on difficult pull-up jumpers off the dribble. He also dished out three assists in the opening eight minutes, as St. Anthony raced out to an 18-13 lead.
The Bulldogs did most of their damage inside in the second quarter, scoring 14 of its 19 points in the paint, but they got away from feeding the post a bit in the second half, something Tovey would like to see his team remedy.
"It's hard for people to understand why we're upset when they come down and fire one up — maybe not even off the pass, but off the dribble," Tovey said. "But as successful as we were — especially in the second quarter — getting the ball inside to people, let's go inside-out with it first."
Alex Hoelscher added 10 points and seven rebounds for the Bulldogs, who won't have much time at all to ponder what went wrong against the Vandals.
Ninth-seeded St. Anthony will be busy today, taking on No. 2 seed Maroa-Forsyth at 11 a.m. before turning right around to face No. 5 Shelbyville at 3:30.
"The good news is that we wear white in one game and red in another," Tovey said. "We don't have to wash uniforms. We don't have much time to do much, but, you know, what are you gonna do about it? We're gonna go play and hopefully play a good game against Maroa and suck it up and come back and play the second game."
Five Vandals scored in double figures, with Godoyo leading the way with 16 points.

Details are still a bit murky, but it is now well known that former FC Dallas player Bobby Rhine died of an apparent heart attack on Monday. He was 35. Rhine was among the most beloved players in FC Dallas history and continued to be closely associated with the team as their manager of community development and the color commentator on the team's TV broadcasts.
Rhine played for FC Dallas from 1999-2008, appearing in 223 games. He endeared himself to fans and coaches alike mainly through his willingness to do whatever was needed. He was officially listed as a forward for much of his career, but played extensively in the midfield and even played some defense.
Since the news broke on Twitter, well-wishes and condolences have been flooding Rhine's Twitter account (@bobbyrhine). Rhine was particularly active on social media with his final Tweet telling his followers that he was "Going off the grid for some beach time."
For reaction from people who really got to know Rhine, be sure to check out Big D Soccer.

'Crying shame' if Nicola Cortese leaves Saints
Updated 7:57pm Wednesday 15th January 2014 in Sport
It would be "a crying shame" if Nicola Cortese leaves Saints.
That is the view of Mike O'Callaghan, the chairman of the Southampton Independent Supporters Association, on a day of hectic speculation surrounding the St Mary's chairman.
Cortese is understood to be on the brink of resigning because of an "irretrievable breakdown" with the Liebherr family, the club's owners.
Last summer, Cortese was persuaded to stay on after a similar fall-out, but it appears as though executive chairman Cortese may now be ready to end his time with the club.
O'Callaghan, a fan since the early 1970s, said: "Cortese's got his faults, certainly the way he dealt with Nigel Adkins and he doesn't interact with the supporters as well as other clubs, who have regular fans' forums.
"But otherwise I can't fault him for the way he's run the club.
"We got promoted a year ahead of schedule and we're still ninth in the table after a blip.
"That's how much things have changed. He's done a magnificent job running Southampton Football Club as a business.
"It's a great shame if he's not getting on with the Liebherrs because he's taken the club in the right direction.
"The way he got rid of Adkins lacked class but Pochettino has improved the team and we're now an established Premier League club.
"It would be a crying shame if he were to go because we're now a forward-thinking modern club moving in the eight direction.
"We're setting the standards, half the team is English, and we've got new training facilities being built."

The 20-year-old was an All-County defensive back/wide receiver for San Clemente High School in 2011.
