Extra Sound – Veteran Leaders Step UpPosted by on July 26, 2014 – 8:20 am
The Titans roster is chalked full of veteran talent. Jake Locker, Nate Washington, Wesley Woodyard, and Jason McCourty all spoke Friday about the importance of being leaders in the locker room. Here is some of what they had to say.
Jake Locker discussed his responsibility as the team's quarterback:
"I think there's a reason that the quarterback is asked to be the leader. That's a role that I'm excited about the opportunity to embrace. It hasn't changed how I approached the game. I feel at this point now going into my fourth year that I've earned the respect of the guys in the locker room. I feel like they'll listen when I say things. I get the opportunity to pick and choose times to speak up a little more now and maybe be more vocal than I have been in the past."
The Titans QB noted that the new coaching staff has pushed him as a player:
"I'll give the coaching staff a lot of credit. They've pushed me and asked me to do some things that I wasn't really comfortable doing at first, and now I love it. I'm really excited about it and I think it's allowed me to have more ownership over the offense."
Locker then went into detail about what some of those things were that he was uncomfortable with at first:
"More responsibility at the line of scrimmage with the protection calls and possible play changes and no huddle stuff we've been doing. There is a little bit more of a responsibility on the quarterback and I've really enjoyed it. I look forward to that being something that's beneficial for us throughout the year."
Wesley Woodyard spent his entire presser discussing that although it's only his first year with the Titans, he wants to be a leader on defense. That includes wearing the helmet with the headset to the coaching staff:
"I plan on being on the field every down. I'm going to come out and say I'd love to have that green dot on my helmet."
Woodyard continued to say that it's up to all the veteran players to set the tone for the rest of the team:
"The big thing is that everyone has to do their part. Guys like me, Shaun Phillips, and Bernard Pollard all realize what it takes to get to the next level getting into the playoffs and getting to the Super Bowl."
Jason McCourty discussed how coach Whisenhunt has already deferred to the opinions of the leaders in he locker room:
"He comes to us for a lot of things when making decisions. He'll come ask guys 'hey what's your opinion on this, what's your opinion on that?' He does a great job of finding the pulse of the team and figuring out what's best for us moving forward. That's been real enjoyable."
McCourty also said that with all the excitement there is right now, they will learn a lot about themselves when they face adversity for the first time:
"Adversity is going to build character. I always say this time of the year that everything is great. Everybody is loving the staff. All the players are getting along. We haven't faced any problems yet. As camp goes on there are going to be injuries or different things that happen that are going to force us to come together or split apart as a team. That's going to be big for us to continue to build our chemistry. That's the fun part of this game – the challenges that come with it and not knowing each day what you're going to face. I think it's going to help us build as camp goes on and when we get to the end we're going to see a finished product that we really like."
Nate Washington spent a lot of time discussing coach Whisenhunt and how he understands the role of the leaders on the team:
"He makes a huge difference. His mentality and the way he treats us in the locker room has given guys a different focus toward the game. Coach has been around long enough to know that you have to let grown men be grown men. He allows us as players to coach ourselves in that locker room and get expectations out of ourselves first. That's going to be a major thing for us."
The two already know each other well after Washington and Whisenhunt spent time together in Pittsburgh. Washington said coach Whiz still has many of the same traits that he noticed with the Steelers:
"He's a gutsy guy. He's going to take some shots. He's not afraid to let his playmakers go out and make plays. He expects greatness out of all of us, but at the same time he isn't going to be the guy to criticize you or jump on you if you make a mistake. I think that's going to boost us to not walk on pins and needles, but know there's a guy behind us that expects greatness of us."
Washington also gave the quote of the day in my opinion about coach Whisenhunt:
"He has put us in a position to expect greatness without telling us to expect greatness."

Visuals Joining Verbiage for Titans QB Jake LockerPosted by on June 19, 2014 – 4:15 pm
Titans quarterback Jake Locker said a good indicator that he's making progress with Tennessee's new offense is that visualizations are accompanying the verbiage he communicates to teammates.
Locker and the Titans concluded a three-day mandatory minicamp Thursday before breaking until training camp. Titans players are scheduled to report back July 25.
Locker is recovering from a Lisfranc injury that cost him the last half of 2013, but was able to participate fully in Tennessee's 10 organized team activity practices and the minicamp. He said that experience helped him better grasp his third offense in as many seasons as a starter.
"For me, once you get the verbiage and you're able to paint a picture when you call a play, that's when it becomes really comfortable for you," Locker said. "As you're calling the play, you're picturing the routes you have down the field, and that's when I know I'm getting really comfortable. I feel with the majority of stuff we've put in, I can call it and see it before we get to the line of scrimmage."
New coach Ken Whisenhunt said that capability "makes you operate more smoothly, quicker, and whenever you're more comfortable, it helps."
"He's still got a ways to go, but it's good Jake feels that way now," Whisenhunt said.
Offensive coordinator Jason Michael said Locker progressed nicely through the offseason program that started in April. Michael said Locker benefited by watching backup QB Charlie Whitehurst during a voluntary minicamp that was allowed to all teams with new head coaches, to participating in walk-throughs and studying film, to positional drills and eventually working in team periods.
"How he works and goes about his business carried into Phase II (of the offseason program) where he was able to get on the field a bit more," Michael said. "It's been gradual stages for him to do more and more, and he's handling it great."
Locker said he likes the combination of options that will be available in the Titans' new scheme.
"I think it's a nice mix of doing the more conventional huddle, calling plays and having the change-up of being able to go no-huddle with a large playbook and run a lot of different plays from that, a lot of different formations and have the flexibility to kind of put pressure on the defense," Locker said.

A Look at Titans Opponents in 2014: Jets, ChiefsPosted by on January 2, 2014 – 6:23 pm
The Titans' second-place finish in the AFC South will pit Tennessee against teams that finished second in the AFC East (New York Jets) and AFC West (Kansas City Chiefs) in 2014. (The schedule of dates will be announced in spring).
Vs. New York Jets
Jets' 2013 Finish: (8-8); Points For: 290; Points Against: (387); Net: (-97); TDs: 27; Home: 6-2; Away: 2-6; Conf: 5-7; Last 5: 3-2
Jets' 2013 Rankings: Total Offense (25th, 318.1 yards per game); Total Defense (11th, 334.9)
Titans vs. Jets Overall: (23-17-1); Most Recent: Titans 38, Jets 13 on Sept. 29, 2013
Early Outlook: The Jets have announced that coach Rex Ryan will be back for another year, and it will be the third season in a row that the Jets have traveled to Nashville. Tennessee has won the past two (14-10 in 2012 and 38-13 in 2013). As a rookie, Jets QB Geno Smith had the lowest qualifying passer rating in the NFL (66.5) in large part to his completion percentage of 55.8 and his ratio of 12 TD passes to 21 interceptions. If the Jets go with Smith in 2014, they'll need him to boost those numbers.
Jake Locker had his best first half as a pro the last time the teams met. He was 18-of-24 passing (75 percent) for 149 yards and three TD passes (career-high passer rating of 130) before suffering knee and hip sprains early in the second half on a hit involving Jets DL Muhammad Wilkerson and LB Quinton Coples. Alterraun Verner had two interceptions of Smith and recovered a fumble forced by Zach Brown, and Karl Klug stripped Smith during a sack and recovered the ball in the end zone for a touchdown.
At Kansas City Chiefs
Chiefs' 2013 Finish (11-5); Points For: 430; Points Against: 305; Net (125); TDs: 52; Home: 5-3; Away: 6-2; Conf: 7-5; Last 5: 2-3
Chiefs' 2013 Rankings: Total Offense (21st, 337.3 yards per game); Total Defense (24th, 367.8)
Titans vs. Chiefs Overall: (20-27); Most Recent: Chiefs 26, Titans 17 at LP Field in 2013; Last time in Kansas City: Chiefs 34, Titans 14 in 2010
Early Outlook: The Chiefs will enter 2014 on the heels of their second playoff season in the past four after improving from 2-14 in 2012 when they had six Pro Bowlers to 11-5 in 2013 when eight players garnered selection to the all-star game. Quarterback Alex Smith and coach Andy Reid will be in their second season in Kansas City, and the Chiefs' offense is likely to rely heavily on Jamaal Charles, who led the AFC with 1,980 yards from scrimmage. Charles had 1,287 yards on 259 carries (5.0 per attempt) and 693 yards on 70 receptions (9.9 per catch).
The Titans limited Charles to 37 yards on five catches, but the back managed 108 yards and a rushing TD on 22 carries when the teams met in October. Three Titans turnovers — a bad bounce off a punt that was recovered in the end zone and two interceptions — loomed large in that contest. Tennessee rallied from a 13-0 halftime deficit with 17 straight points, including a 49-yard TD by Chris Johnson on a short pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick, who was making his first start as a Titan in place of Jake Locker (hip and knee sprains), in the third quarter and a 9-yard run by Fitzpatrick in the fourth quarter.
Both teams entered that game tied for the NFL lead at plus-9 in turnover ratio, but Kansas City finished second in the NFL at plus-18 and Tennessee fell to a tie for 14th at even in the final 12 games.

First Look: Titans vs. TexansPosted by on December 24, 2013 – 1:37 am
The Titans (6-9) host the Texans (2-13) on Dec. 29 at LP Field in the regular season finale. Here's a first glance at the matchup:
Recent action
Tennessee defeated Jacksonville 20-16 on the road last week to record its sixth win of the season and match its total from 2012. The Titans got 91 rushing yards and a touchdown from Shonn Greene, 90 rushing yards from Chris Johnson and six catches for 117 yards and the game-winning score from Nate Washington. Tennessee's defense held Jacksonville to 85 net yards and three points in the second half to allow the team to rally from a 10-point deficit in the game's final 24 minutes. Houston fell 37-13 (after trailing 16-13 in the third quarter) in its home finale to Denver. Injuries to Arian Foster and Ben Tate have hurt the Texans' offense, but the defense is still solid.
Team stat comparisons
Tennessee's Offensive Rankings:
Yards/Game: 19th (338.6)
Rushing Yards/Game: 15th (116.2)
Passing Yards/Game: 21st (222.4)
Turnover Ratio: Minus-3 (tied for 18th in NFL)
Houston's Defensive Rankings:
Yards/Game: 7th (318.0)
Rushing Yards/Game: 24th (120.5)
Passing Yards/Game: 3rd (197.5)
Points Allowed/Game: 26th (27.5)
Tennessee's Defensive Rankings:
Yards/Game: 15th (341.3)
Rushing Yards/Game: 20th (115.3)
Passing Yards/Game: 10th (225.9)
Points Allowed/Game: 19th (24.7)
Houston's Offensive Rankings:
Yards/Game: 11th (351.2)
Rushing Yards/Game: 19th (111.9)
Passing Yards/Game: 16th (239.3)
Turnover Ratio: Minus-17 (tied for 31st in NFL)
Series history
The Titans lead 14-9, despite dropping the past three meetings, four of the past six and five of the past eight.
The previous meeting
Houston was able to rally for a 30-24 overtime victory in Week 2 with a touchdown run by Foster, who added a two-point conversion late in regulation, and a TD pass from Matt Schaub to DeAndre Hopkins in overtime.
The Titans took a 24-16 lead with 3:07 remaining in the game after Alterraun Verner returned an interception of Matt Schaub 23 yards for a touchdown. Verner's "pick 6" followed a nine-play, 99-yard touchdown drive that was capped with a 10-yard pass from Jake Locker to Delanie Walker for a 17-16 lead with 6:37 left in the fourth quarter. Locker also threw a touchdown to Kendall Wright in the first quarter.
The Titans are trying to record their second straight win for the second time this season and snap a five-game losing streak at home. Tennessee was pleased with the rushing attack that outgained Jacksonville 182-63 Sunday and wouldn't mind having another game with nearly a 2:1 run:pass ratio. The Texans have lost 13 in a row but eight of those have been decided by seven points or less. A preseason pick for the Super Bowl by many, Houston is now in contention for the top overall pick in the draft that is awarded to the team with the worst record.
The turnover ratio has loomed the largest for both teams this season. Tennessee is 6-2 when it has a turnover ratio of even or better and 0-7 when it doesn't. The Texans, meanwhile, are minus-17 in turnover ratio, undermining a defense that ranks seventh in yards allowed, third in passing yards allowed and seventh in opponents' third down conversion percentage (35.0).

First Look: Titans at JaguarsPosted by on December 18, 2013 – 8:16 am
The Titans (5-9) visit the Jaguars (4-10) on Dec. 22 at EverBank Field. Here's a first glance at the matchup:
Recent action
Tennessee fell 37-34 in overtime against Arizona last week in a game that eliminated it from postseason contention. The Titans scored 17 points in the final 3:12 of regulation to tie the game against the Cardinals but lost in overtime. Ryan Fitzpatrick set career highs in completions (36), attempts (58) and yards (402) and tied a career high with four touchdown passes, and Kendall Wright led receivers with career highs of 12 catches for 150 yards to go over 1,000 receiving yards for the first time in his two-year career. The Jaguars lost 27-20 to the Bills Sunday but have won four of six in a stretch that began Nov. 10 at Tennessee.
Team stat comparisons
Tennessee's Offensive Rankings:
Yards/Game: 21st (338.1)
Rushing Yards/Game: 20th (111.5)
Passing Yards/Game: 21st (226.6)

Jacksonville's Defensive Rankings:
Yards/Game: 28th (381.8)
Rushing Yards/Game: 30th (131.9)
Passing Yards/Game: 19th (249.9)
Points Allowed/Game: tied at 30th (28.5)

Rushing Yards/Game: 29th (82.5)
Passing Yards/Game: 26th (207.6)
Turnover Ratio: Minus-4 (tied for 21st in NFL)
Series history
The Titans lead 21-17 (including a 33-14 win in the 1999 AFC Championship game on Jan. 23, 2000 at Jacksonville). The teams have split in each of the past four seasons, with Jacksonville claiming the first matchup and Tennessee taking the second in each of the past two seasons.
The previous meeting
The Titans fell behind 13-0 after a fumble by Chris Johnson on the first play from scrimmage of the game that led to a Jaguars touchdown and a pair of field goals by Josh Scobee, one of which followed an interception. Tennessee also lost Jake Locker for the rest of the season to a Lisfranc injury. Locker tried to play through the pain but was unable to complete a handoff to Chris Johnson a play after the injury, resulting in a fumbled exchange between the QB and Johnson in Jaguars territory. Ryan Fitzpatrick replaced Locker and helped the Titans score 20 points in the second half, but Will Blackmon blitzed, stripped the QB and returned the ball 21 yards for a touchdown to help Jacksonville win 29-27.
This one is personal to the Titans, who enter the game with five losses in the past six, a streak that began when the teams last met and Tennessee was 4-4. The Titans have been unable to recover from that game in the win column but want to finish the season with a fight. After allowing 28 or more points in six of their first eight games, the Jaguars have allowed 28 points one time in their past six. Jacksonville was outscored 264-86 in its first eight games, but has played even (135 to 135) in its past six.

First Look: Titans vs. ColtsPosted by on November 12, 2013 – 10:45 am
The Titans (4-5) host the Colts (6-3) on Nov. 14 at LP Field. Here's a first glance at the matchup:
Recent action
Tennessee lost to the Jaguars 29-27 on Nov. 10, committing four turnovers. QB Jake Locker suffered a season-ending foot injury and will be replaced by veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick. Indianapolis is coming off a 38-8 home loss to St. Louis. The Colts are 7-0 in weeks following a loss in the past two seasons, including a 27-7 win at San Francisco and a 39-33 win over Denver this year.

Indianapolis' Offensive Rankings:
Yards/Game: 13th (348.1)
Rushing Yards/Game 15th (110.2)
Passing Yards/Game 15th (237.9)
Turnover Ratio Plus-3 (11th)
Series history
The Titans trail 23-14 in 37 meetings (including the 1999 AFC Divisional that Tennessee won). Indianapolis has a three-game win streak in the rivalry that's included two meetings every year since 2002 when the NFL went to its current division alignment.
The previous meeting
Tennessee built a 13-point lead at halftime, opening with an 80-yard drive that ended with a touchdown pass from Jake Locker to Jared Cook, a pair of field goals by Rob Bironas and a 40 interception return for a touchdown by Will Witherspoon, but lost 27-23.
Indianapolis engineered an 80-yard drive of its own to open the second half that included three third-down conversions (two passes and a 1-yard TD run by Delone Carter), and seized the lead on a 3-yard interception return for a touchdown by Cassius Vaughn.
The Titans moved to the Colts' 2-yard line but had to settle for another field goal by Bironas to give Tennessee a 23-21 lead four minutes into the fourth quarter, but Indianapolis added a pair of field goals by Adam Vinatieri.
This is Tennessee's first and only scheduled prime-time appearance of 2013, and the fourth time Indianapolis will start a game under the lights this season. The Colts are 2-1 in those games, with a loss at San Diego and wins against Denver and Houston, and are 6-0 in franchise history on NFL Network.
After winning at St. Louis to move to 4-4, Tennessee's players talked about the importance of defeating Jacksonville last week to make the matchup with the Indianapolis even more important. The Titans received help from the Rams against the Colts last week, but lost to the Jaguars. That outcome, ironically, has made this matchup even more critical. Instead of an opportunity to seize first place in the AFC South, Tennessee needs to win to move within one game of Indianapolis. A loss would put the Titans three back of the Colts with six games to go.
Tennessee has held five of nine opponents to 21 points or less this season. Alterraun Verner is tied for the NFL lead with five interceptions, and Jurrell Casey has a team-best seven sacks.
Fitzpatrick relieved Locker against Jacksonville and had his strongest passing performance of 2013, completing 22 of 33 passes for 264 yards and two touchdowns. He also ran for a short TD, but lost a fumble that was returned 21 yards for a touchdown late in the fourth quarter. Kendall Wright leads Titans receivers with 50 catches for 580 yards has one TD.
The Colts are led by second-year QB Andrew Luck, who is 183-for-311 passing for 2,198 yards and 14 TDs against six interceptions (87.5 passer rating) this season. Indianapolis is adjusting to playing without long-time great Reggie Wayne, who suffered a season-ending injury on Oct. 20. T.Y. Hilton leads Colts receivers with 41 catches for 663 yards and five TDs.
Although it executed a trade for Trent Richardson from Cleveland, Indianapolis has struggled to run the football with former first-round pick. He has 88 attempts for 250 yards (2.8 per carry) with two scores. Luck poses a running threat, as well, accounting for 200 yards and three scores on 32 attempts.
Robert Mathis has a career-high and team-best 13.5 sacks this season.

Verner: It's Going to be a Battle of Wills ThursdayPosted by on November 11, 2013 – 9:54 am
The good news is the wait for a shot at redemption isn't too long. The bad news is the opportunity for recovery is incredibly short.
The Titans (4-5) must prod past becoming the first opponent to lose to the Jaguars (1-8) this season and ready themselves to host AFC South-leading Indianapolis (6-3) on Thursday Night Football. The Colts are coming off a 38-8 home loss Sunday to the St. Louis Rams.
"We've got a game right now, and they're coming off a tough loss, too, so it's going to be a battle of wills Thursday," cornerback Alterraun Verner said.
Verner had an interception early in the fourth quarter (his fifth pick this season), but the Titans' offense settled for a field goal on a drive that began at the Jacksonville 26-yard line and never cleared the hump.
"Any type of negative connotation you can find, probably fits well with this situation. Embarrassing? Definitely. Frustrating? Yes, because it seems like we can't break through," Verner said.
Verner equated the missed opportunity to gain ground on Indy as failure to walk through an open door, but injuries suffered by Titans quarterback Jake Locker (foot), center Brian Schwenke (ankle) and receiver/return specialist Damian Williams (leg) made it seem like the door slammed on Tennessee's fingers.
Those players were scheduled to have more-detailed exams Monday, and the team has not officially elaborated on the severity of the injuries. Ryan Fitzpatrick replaced Locker, Chris Spencer replaced Schwenke and Verner replaced Williams.
Derrick Morgan, who had a sack and three quarterback hits, said the feeling after the game was "sickening."
"It hurts you to your core. The thing is, we've got another game Thursday. That's the only positive," Morgan said. "We've got a quick turnaround, we've got to get re-focused and it's a must-win for us on Thursday. We've got to win out, basically.
"You can't go in the pit. You can't go downhill and start breaking away," Morgan continued. "We've got to bond together. The only thing we can do know is keep working because we've got seven more games."

Fitzpatrick Replaces Injured Locker, Throws TDPosted by on November 10, 2013 – 1:49 pm
Ryan Fitzpatrick stepped in for Jake Locker (foot injury, questionable to return) with 4:25 remaining in the first half and led the Titans on a scoring drive.
Fitzpatrick was 5-for-5 for 53 yards and a touchdown pass to Taylor Thompson with 41 seconds before halftime. Fitzpatrick faked a handoff to Chris Johnson and rolled to his right, finding the tight end in the end zone. It was the first target and catch of the season for Thompson and first touchdown of his two-year career.
Fitzpatrick opened the drive with a screen to Johnson, which gained 10, but a penalty against Kendall Wright for an illegal block moved the ball back to the Tennessee 48-yard line, where the drive began.
Fitzpatrick connected with Justin Hunter for 11 on the next play, and with Wright for gains of 15 (on third-and-2) and 8 during the eight-play, 52-yard drive that spanned 3:44.
The Titans trailed 13-7 at halftime.

Blaine Bishop & Kevin Dyson Appear on Special "Titans All Access"Posted by on November 1, 2013 – 7:11 pm
Titans/Oilers greats Blaine Bishop and Kevin Dyson joined "Voice of the Titans" Mike Keith for a special edition of Titans All Access that will air the weekend of Nov. 1-3.
Keith discussed multiple aspects for how the Titans' current season has gone, as well as other NFL trends, with the members of the 1999 AFC Championship team that appeared in Super Bowl XXXIV.
Bishop, a four-time Pro Bowl safety, said he's liked what he's seen from the free agents that Tennessee signed to improve its defense and has enjoyed the return of Gregg Williams to the coaching staff as a senior assistant.
"They're just flying around, showing signs of what we used to have, one of those great defenses the years I played," Bishop said. "They're real close to being at an elite level defensive team and they're right there on the cusp."
One of the most interesting additions, Bishop said, is defensive end Ropati Pitoitua, who is tied for the team lead with four sacks (a career high).
"He's stopping the running game," Bishop said. "He's making pressure on the quarterback, and I think that's making it easier for the guys in the secondary to cover and the whole defense is playing a lot better."
Dyson, a first-round selection in the 1998 NFL Draft who scored on the Music City Miracle, said he's been pleased with the development of Jake Locker. Dyson and Bishop said Locker's toughness reminds them of their teammate, the late Steve McNair.
"I love the progression he's going through. I think they've done some things to help him out: give him some stationary targets," Dyson told Keith. "He's not getting a lot of moving routes. He's doing some things there, but the biggest thing is players believe in him and have a trust in him. That's the biggest difference, regardless of the skillset. You can tell a difference when he's in there."

Summer ends September 21st, so we've got four more weeks left. Which means there's still plenty of time to check out a new montage on YouTube called 'Bikini Fails'.
Summer ends September 21st, so we've got four more weeks left. Which means there's still plenty of time to check out a new montage on YouTube called 'Bikini Fails'.
On this day in 1974 The Ray Stevens single "The Streak" went Gold. It's still a classic that's guaranteed to put you in a good mood!
The 'Call Me Maybe' covers keep flooding into YouTube. But the newest one is pretty cool.
A comedian in L.A. named Josh Androsky is a hero to college dropouts everywhere right now, because he went on "The Price Is Right" while he was drunk and on MUSHROOMS.
If there's one thing YouTube has in spades, it's videos of people fainting. But now you can check out the very BEST of them. The website WorldWideInterweb posted a two-minute montage of about 40 back-to-back.
If you're the bad guy in a movie, you pretty much HAVE to have a good evil laugh. And now you can see the best of them, all in one place!
These people HAVE to patent this and sell it before the 2014 Winter Olympics in Russia. Because it's ingenious.
There's another Gotye parody on YouTube...and this one goes after President Obama. It's a man and a woman who voted for him in the last election, singing about how he's not the, quote, "Obama that [they] used to know."
A video from 1981 is a hit online right now. It's a gymnast named Paul Hunt wearing a pink leotard and doing a ridiculous routine on the uneven bars, which is usually just a WOMEN'S event.
A high school lacrosse player cut in line while he was boarding a Southwest Airlines flight, and his coach punished him in the best way possible: By making him read an apology over the P.A. system.
Ryan Lochte is a great swimmer, but if you've ever seen him in an interview, he's kind of a jackass. Buzzfeed put together a montage of some of his dumbest responses to interview questions.
If you have Dish Network, you can't get AMC anymore, which airs "Mad Men", "Breaking Bad", and the zombie show, "The Walking Dead".
And to protest being dropped, AMC posted a video on YouTube yesterday called "Zombie Experiment NYC".

An incident report released by the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety is shedding some light onto the apparent strangulation death of a three-year-old toddler at a residential daycare.
According to the report released by the agency, officers found Janna Thompson, owner of
Ms. Janna's Daycare, performing CPR on Thomas Stephens, 3, of Roswell.
Thomas was found not breathing and unconscious at the daycare around 9:54 a.m. Tuesday, July 8.
died by strangulation on a piece of twine attached to a slide at the daycare,
according to WSB-TV.
Thompson told the responding officer she did not know "where he got the string" that was found around his neck.
Thompson also told officers that she left Thomas "outside by himself for a few minutes while she took another child inside for some discipline," the incident report states.
Thomas was rushed to North Fulton Hospital where he died Wednesday evening.
Alpharetta police launched its investigation into the death on Thursday.
Alpharetta Department of Public Safety Spokesperson George Gordon told WSB it appears the case is an "absolute tragedy."
Gordon noted it appears the child may have placed his head inside the loop of twine while playing on the slide.
The daycare, located at 145 Shady Grove Lane, has been issued an Order for Intended Emergency Closure of a Family Day Care Home by the
Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning, or DECAL.
Reg Griffin, spokesperson with DECAL, said these orders are used by the agency when there's been a death of a child "that was not medically anticipated."
"In this incident, DECAL found serious rule violations contributed to the death of a child," he said in a prepared statement.
It's not the first rule violations issued by the state.
Records show DECAL inspectors during a licensing study visit in January cited the center, which has been up and running in the same location for 25 years, for safety violations around its playground.
Specifically, hazards such as a wheel barrow located against a fence, an unraveled water house, excessive tree limbs and pine cones were observed throughout the outdoor play area. Two protruding nails to the right of a wooden ladder on the wooden climber were also cited.
While the case appears to be an accident, the investigation remains active.

BNL Scientists Discover New System to Convert CO2 to Ethanol
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have discovered a new catalytic system for converting carbon dioxide (CO2) to methanol—a key commodity used to create a wide range of industrial chemicals and fuels. With significantly higher activity than other catalysts now in use, the new system could make it easier to get normally unreactive CO2 to participate in such reactions. These catalysts could even help mitigate the accumulation of this greenhouse gas by capturing CO2 emitted from methanol-powered combustion engines and fuel cells and recycling it to synthesize new fuel.

I said last week that today's column would examine our magnificent apathy towards the European elections. Too late, I realised this was decidedly rash of me.
An election which is borne on a turgid tide of indifference does not really do it for my creative juices. And a whole column to fill — I must have been mad.
However, I like to be a woman of my word, so brace up. Here are the European elections, as promised.
I came to this topic as, figuratively speaking, a Euro-virgin.
Did I know who any of our representatives were? Or what constituency we were in? Or who was standing this time?
Did I know the date of the elections? Did I care?
Answers, respectively, no, no, no, no and no.
I have, however, been busy with my researches and am now very well informed, although unashamed of my erstwhile ignorance. I asked 50 people on the Island if they knew who any of our MEPs were and not one of them did.
As I said last week, this majestic apathy is the hallmark of the true English patriot.
Unless, of course, you're one of the UKIP lot, who, for people who detest Europe and want to get out toute de suite (or as N. Farage would say, "right now, chum"), don't half bang on about it. It's their specialist subject, which is probably a good thing, because they've got absolutely no other policies.
My first astonishing discovery, having learned the Island is in the South East England constituency, is that Mr Farage is one of my representatives.
Imagine that! There are no less than ten MEPs for South East England, all looking after me, and Mr Farage has been doing the job for 15 years. Well, who knew? He's kept that one dark, never so much as dropping in for a cup of tea. Still, I expect he's been busy with his expenses.
Of the other nine, I've sort of heard of Daniel Hannan, but the rest of them are complete strangers. Sharon Bowles? Nirj Deva? Marta Andreasen? The last two sound like anagrams.
Ooh, that's a good idea. Let's liven up this European thing and Google the anagram generator. Marta Andreasen. That would be "Darn! A man teaser!", while Nirj Deva is "Darn! Jive!"
Isn't that interesting? Puts an altogether different complexion on life in Strasbourg.
Nigel Farage is "A fine gargle." Yup, that's about right. He's been gargling on my behalf for 15 years and I never knew.
Now on to the main event, this month's elections. Hold on, though, I'd better find out what date they're on.
Ah yes, May 22. Well, I seem to be free that day, so I might as well rock up, especially now that I know so much about it.
Let's have a look at the candidates, shall we? Bloody hell, there's zillions of them. How many votes do I have? Just one, according to the official info.
"The number of MEPs each party gets is calculated using a formula called d'Hondt, except in Northern Ireland."
Oh dear, this is really boring. Who made the decision about this d'Hondt formula thingie? It sounds very foreign. I bet Fine Gargle doesn't approve of that one.
There are actually 118 candidates, representing 15 parties, and I can put my one measly cross against "the party or independent candidate that you wish to vote for."
There are certainly some interesting names on the list. I'm tempted by Jason Kitcat but Millie Uncles and Dinti Batstone also have a certain appeal.
And how about Rev Anthony? If he and Mr Kitcat fail to get in, they'd surely make a fine alternative comedy duo.
There's all manner of parties, too. The Harmony Party has a pleasing ring to it but the Roman Party is even better and has only one candidate, Jean-Louis Pascual, whose very name smoulders with Gallic passion.
Actually, I think I'll ditch Jason Kitcat and I'm certainly not voting for a woman called Michaelina Argy, who sounds like trouble before we've even started.
But after all this work, I'd better vote for one of this lot, if only to try to unseat my last useless representatives, particularly Fine Gargle.
I need somebody who'll provide some fun and am thus much attracted to the Roman Party. The Romans were famously good at parties.
Yes, I've made my decision. I'll vote for them. Bienvenu, Jean-Louis!
Flattering rejection for Carole
Groucho Marx reputedly said: "I don't want to belong to any club that will have me as a member."
Our MP's partner, Carole Dennett, turned down for membership of the IW Conservative Association, should surely take comfort from Mr Marx. It's no secret she thinks a sizeable proportion of the association's executive are complete pills, so she can consider herself flattered in not gaining their approval.
I can't imagine why she even wanted to apply or what she'd have done if she'd been accepted, but it was never going to be smoochy. All in all, a win-win situation for everybody on this one and so good to see our Island Tories united in contentment.

Essential core exercises that focus on the abdomen and lower back, even when combined with riskier starvation diets, may not be enough to get rid of that stubborn belly fat – the extra weight that just won't go away.

Acne is a chronic inflammatory disorder that is usually related to hormonal changes, which can stimulate sebum production. Overactive sebaceous glands are usually the cause of adolescent acne. A sebaceous gland produces sebum and there is one at the base of each pore.
Sebum is the main component of pustules (pimples). 80% of teens get pimples, but only 20% develop acne, and blackheads can be precursors to acne.

11 members of Ahmed al-Hurani's family lived in a house in the Damascus suburb hit by the chemical attack. Everyone in the house, including al-Hurani's brother, his brother's wife, and nine sons, daughters, in-laws, and grandchildren, were killed.
But in an interview with NPR, al-Hurani said he doesn't think it makes a difference that chemical weapons were used:
Bassam al-Hurani [Ahmed's son] says members of the extended al-Hurani family have been killed in conflicts before. Two cousins died fighting Jewish militias in the 1940s. A niece was killed during a confrontation between Palestinians and Israeli soldiers in Jenin.
Several other relatives, all children, died in a conventional attack in Syria earlier this year. Ahmed al-Hurani says it hardly matters that these latest deaths were from poison gas.
"I don't see a difference," he says. "To me, all weapons kill."
al-Hurani also doesn't know whether Syrian President Bashar al-Assad ordered the attack.
And, perhaps most importantly, the al-Huranis don't think that strikes by the U.S. would be "illegal" and would only make things worse:
"I think other countries should have worked on solving the crisis in Syria much earlier," Bassam al-Hurani says. "In my opinion, America's intention to hit Syria is illegal. It's not right. America should stand in the middle and stop the fighting, rather than escalating it."
His father agrees.
"I only see a lot of harm coming out of such an attack," Ahmed al-Hurani says. "It will be a world war. Israel, Jordan, Turkey — everybody will be affected."
You can read the whole interview with the al-Huranis on NPR.org.

I've heard some Republicans whining about my cartoons, that they're particularly cruel to the GOP. All I can say is thank you for noticing. I assume they're moaning about my treatment of Republicans in the Presidential campaign. I treat the Democrats in Connecticut with the same disrespect, mainly because most of the crooks busted in this state are members of the donkey's party.
It's true, I'm really down on the national Republican Party this election cycle (and the last one, too, and the one before that) because of the right wing extremism that has infected the GOP. The moderates have headed for the hills and won't come back until it's safe. It won't be safe until the extremists are pushed to the margins where they belong instead of being allowed to gum up the center.
In the meantime, the Republicans can take cold comfort knowing they've brought my wrath upon themselves. They have no one else to blame. Anyway, what do they care if I bust their chops? There are plenty conservative cartoonists out there sucking up to the Republicans. That's the beauty of the Internet.

I had to write a review about my stay in this villa, as I feel the previous review picked holes in areas which really were irrelevant in my opinion.
To complain about the lack of air con when it isn't in the description is a little silly, the fridge worked fine for us and although the dvd didn't work it was hardly going to spoil our Holiday now was it.
I found the management ( Vanessa and Natalie) very approachable and eager to help and advised when required without bothering us during our break. they were there when we needed them.
The accommodation is as described and i would say it is at least 2 grades higher than most providing a nice mix of familiar things and the relaxation of a holiday home. I can truly say we felt at home throughout our break. Our girls were able to watch CBeebies when needed and there is the added bonus of UK TV providing BBC, ITV 1,2 & 4 . The added bonus for me was the addition of PLTV enabling me to relax and... more

The crash of a UK Royal Air Force (RAF) Nimrod MR.2 surveillance aircraft in Afghanistan last year that killed all 14 onboard was likely caused by escaped fuel from a pressure-relief valve igniting against an improperly insulated hot bleed-air pipe in the starboard wing root. So says the British Ministry of Defence (MoD), which took the unusual step of releasing the entire report of the accident inquiry.
Foreign object damage could one day disappear, thanks to technology developed in the UK. A high-precision millimeter wave radar built by researchers at QinetiQ (pronounced ki•ne•tic) has demonstrated its ability to detect objects as small as a two-inch-long steel machine bolt as it lay on a runway surface 1.24 miles from the radar.
MacCarthy Interiors in Surrey, England, has delivered its first Sikorsky S-92 with an executive interior. The job for a private owner was part of a contract with Harrods Aviation (MacCarthy is a preferred interiors supplier for Harrods), and involved first stripping out the old interior. Among the upgrade items is a forward lavatory and new leather seats.
German interiors specialist Lufthansa Technik will be providing its network integrated cabin equipment (Nice) system to Bombardier as standard equipment on the Canadian manufacturer's Challenger 300. Nice is a digital-based cabin-management and entertainment package that includes an iPod docking station to stream the audio output.
Negotiations continue between the UK and Saudi Arabian governments over the details of Project Salam, the agreement to supply 72 Eurofighter Typhoons to Saudi Arabia. Major decisions still have to be taken on the avionics and weapons configurations, and on the arrangements to produce and support the aircraft in Saudi Arabia. Final assembly of the first 24 aircraft, and training of the first Royal Saudi Air Force crews, will be done in the UK.
BAE Systems Regional Aircraft suggests there might be a large increase in the Persian Gulf-based fleet of British Aerospace 146/Avro RJ regional jets in the next six months. The current four airplanes operating in the area could have grown to as many as 15 by the second quarter of 2008, according to BAE Systems salesman Andy Whelan at an aviation-finance conference here last week.
Next year's 60th anniversary Farnborough Airshow should be a record-breaker, according to organizers Farnborough International (Stand W106). Sales are at the highest level ever seen at this stage in the biennial cycle, the company said, and exhibitors' plans are correspondingly ambitious.
BAE Systems (Stand W412) has started building the airframe for the Taranis, a $254 million unmanned combat aerial vehicle demonstrator aimed at helping the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) determine its armed forces' future equipment needs.

"The Old Priest is a wonderfully nuanced collection, whose stories are well grounded and vibrant with lively characters and revealing details. A splendid debut."
—Ha Jin
"This writer's 'beat' is mostly southern New Jersey—with a few side trips to Las Vegas—and he knows the tawdry casinos, sex clubs, and trailers not from the vantage of tourists but from the people who live and work there. The acid voices that tell these stories of losers and self-deluders are cut a tiny bit by the sugar of pity, but never by self-pity. There's a stern moral force behind the gaze of this writer, who sees and tells and does not look away."—April Bernard
"The title story of Anthony Wallace's debut collection, "The Old Priest," is far less optimistic in its treatment of church scandal. The old priest, "Jesuit, brainy and fey," is a raconteur par excellence who lives off the admiration of the talented young men he once guided through Catholic school. The story's narrator was one of those bright young things, but as he ages and fails to fulfill his promise, he is haunted by his mentor's long-ago sexual trespasses, which evoke an unbearable morass of love and shame, need and resentment.
Such is the tone of much of this acid-etched collection. Many of the stories center on overeducated casino employees in Atlantic City, men who expected that something else would happen with their lives. Some stories . . . peer at the bitter dregs of these men's fortunes. The most memorable, however, hurl the characters headfirst into the back alleys of drugs and rough trade. "The Unexamined Life," written with chilling poise, watches a middle-aged man abandon his wife and son for a sex worker. "What was it like here on the other side," he thinks, "where people just did whatever came to mind, lust and squalor and hopelessness like the dark shaft of a centerpole in a tent where all the lights had been extinguished." The line separating decency and degradation turns out to be frighteningly easy to cross."—Wall Street Journal
"Anthony Wallace's stories resonate with a strong narrative voice. They are melancholy stories whose oral nature juxtaposes adjectives and metaphors to create a haunting imagery. . . . Even with their somberness, it's difficult to read these stories and not be caught into the storyteller's spell. . . .In the midst of these stories of potential futility, it is Wallace's crafting and use of beautiful language to balance emotions and complex levels of development that keeps the reader from also losing hope. Long after finishing the collection, these stories sit and haunt the thoughts of the reader, reliving that sense of 'maybe this time' that lives in us all."--North American Review
"[A standout.] First, for the characters in the stories and their rich internal lives; second, for the craft; and finally, because several of the stories took me places I didn't expect to travel and made me think about storytelling in new ways I might not have without reading the book." —TriQuarterly

President Obama's recent visit to Scranton, Pa., and other cities in the northeastern United States highlighted a concern of many Americans: the price of a college education. He outlined a national plan to keep college prices reasonable but said little about why the cost of college has risen at a rate that surpasses the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
During his multi-city tour, the president referenced the percentage increase in public college education and also criticized Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett for reducing support for colleges and universities. In so doing, he did not mention the Great Recession that resulted in reduced tax revenue and cuts to higher education.
In 2009 and 2010, federal stimulus funds were used by former Gov. Ed Rendell to bolster reduced funds flowing to colleges and universities in the Keystone State. When the stimulus funds ended, the new governor was faced with significantly less financial support for higher education.
To understand this dilemma, it is important to understand what drives the cost of a college education, including tuition increases above the CPI. Education is a labor-intensive industry, and labor costs tend to rise faster than other costs. With more than 70 percent of most college budgets earmarked for salary and benefits, a significant increase in health care costs alone can put tuition hikes beyond the CPI in any one year.
Colleges also do not buy goods and services in the same marketplace as consumers. The cost of scientific equipment, sophisticated computer systems and facilities maintenance, for example, are subject to price increases that all far exceed general increases in the market-basket of goods and services that comprise the CPI.
One culprit for tuition increases – and one the Obama administration must share some of the blame for – is the tremendous increase in regulations that are designed to enforce compliance with rigorous, and sometimes arbitrary, standards. The Association of Governing Boards, a Washington, D.C.-based group that identifies trends in college governance, identified a number of new rulings. The additional regulations created additional work for colleges, thereby necessitating increased expenses on the part of colleges and universities.
The U.S. Department of Education and the Justice Department have increased regulation enforcement, including the determination of how many handicapped accessible dorm rooms are available on college campuses. While no one disagrees with the intent of the regulations, the costs become significant and sometimes unnecessary. During most of my presidency at Misericordia University, the campus had 27 rooms in residence halls for the disabled. Oftentimes, less than half those rooms were occupied by handicapped students. Despite the excess availability of these specially retrofitted rooms, the university was forced to incur significant additional costs of adding another handicapped accessible room to a home close to campus that was being converted to a residence hall.
Other regulations, including extensive reports on campus crime, gainful employment and many other statistical and written reports are required annually. Together, they take thousands of hours to produce. The reports also have to be submitted in different formats to state agencies. In addition, regional accrediting agencies that accredit entire institutions and various national accrediting associations which review specific academic departments require arduous reports that are time consuming and expensive to produce. In addition, institutions of higher education are responsible for all of the costs associated with the visiting accrediting teams which often require five or more people.
To his credit, Gov. Corbett quickly recognized the cost of college was a deep concern for many Pennsylvanians, so he organized the Commission on Post-Secondary Education. Most of the suggestions made by President Obama appeared in the state commission's report long before the president's recent media tour. The 31-member commission also recommended that the commonwealth review its many regulations and try to eliminate or consolidate those that are redundant with the federal government.
The commission, upon which I served, included presidents and other decision makers from major state-owned and -related universities, private institutions, community colleges and for-profit colleges, as well as business and government leaders. Like President Obama, the commission stressed life-long learning. We recognized that not all high school graduates should attend college immediately. Those who don't should receive encouragement to obtain an advanced degree later in life.
Commissioners realized the cost of a public college education is heavily subsidized by taxpayers and that even private colleges receive some support from the government through the financial aid their students receive and in a few other ways. Colleges that keep tuition increases relatively low should be recognized and rewarded for doing so, the commission recommended. Furthermore, the commission emphasized state support of colleges and universities should be allocated based upon important criteria, such as on-time graduation rates, student satisfaction and the employability of graduates or their success in entering graduate or professional programs.
With these thoughtful and Pennsylvania-grown recommendations already on the table, it isn't difficult to see why so many in Harrisburg and Washington have trouble with the president's plan. It is especially true when the president's proposed program also includes arbitrary and expensive regulations that have, in the past, only served to increase college costs for the nation's 21.8 million college students and 4,495 colleges and universities.
It would be much sounder if the impetus for increasing higher-education effectiveness and efficiency resided within the states and not in Washington.
Michael A. MacDowell served on Gov. Tom Corbett's Commission on Post-Secondary Education while serving as president of Misericordia University in Dallas, Pa., before his retirement in June 2013. He is also a former economics professor and managing director of the Calvin K. Kazanjian Economics Foundation. He is a resident of Harveys Lake.

Thirty years ago, in December 1981, The Journal of Microscopy published a very short paper entitled 'Vitrification of pure water for electron microscopy'. It turned out to be important for the development of cryo-electron microscopy and it contributed to reverse, from foe to friend, the status of water in electron microscopists' minds. This change has brought obvious gains. The future will tell how many more are still to come.

2 on motorcycle killed in collision with minivan
- Associated Press
- April 22, 2014 - 11:20 AM
TOWN OF LINWOOD, Wis. — Sheriff's officials say two University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point students have died in a collision between a motorcycle and a minivan in Portage County.
WAOW-TV (http://bit.ly/1ly1SO2 ) reports 21-year-old Alexander Reeder, of Wisconsin Rapids, and 20-year-old Katherine Axlen, of Mukwonago, were on the motorcycle that crashed in the Town of Linwood late Monday. They were pronounced dead at the scene of the crash. Both were seniors at the university. Deputies say both were wearing helmets.
Authorities say a 41-year-old woman driving the minivan was turning into a driveway and pulled into the path of the motorcycle. The van driver and her 11-year-old son were not hurt.

TEAMS: Boston Celtics, Atlanta Hawks, Miami Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers, Detroit Pistons, New York Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers
The Boston Celtics kick off the 2013 NBA Playoffs against the New York Knicks Saturday at 3pm. What can we expect? The Big 3 era Celtics have always been a bit of a "box of chocolates" team when the playoffs roll around. In 2008 they entered the playoffs as a juggernaut; winning 66 regular season games and posting a per-game point differential of +10.3. When the playoffs started, they struggled to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals, needing the full seven games to dispatch both the Atlanta Hawks and Lebron James' Cleveland Cavaliers. Of course, that first round series against the Hawks wasn't as close as it seemed - it may have been the least competitive seven game series in NBA playoff history - the Celtics outscored the Hawks by 101 points in their 4 wins (including a 34 point drubbing in Game 7) while dropping 3 games by a total of 17 points. The Celtics finally rediscovered their Ubuntu in the Conference Finals against the Detroit Pistons and eventually rolled to thei...

Smallcakes in Albany welcomed Phillip Phillips home with a sweet treat ahead of a benefit concert.
Albany's contract with a
trash company runs out next month, but on Tuesday city officials could not decide
whether to renew it.
The discussion over
whether to go with a lower bid from another company turned into debate over
providing equal opportunities for minorities.
It was a heated discussion
that took more than an hour. Commissioner BJ Fletcher felt they got off topic.
Trans Waste has provided
trash pickup services for the city for about 10 years. On Tuesday, city
commissioners considered a lower bid from Waste Pro, but some commissioners
weren't sure they liked the offer.
"As we discussed the
bid process it came out that the current contractor has a minority
subcontractor that does a substantial amount of the work, and so some
commissioners were concerned what would happen to those workers that worked for
the subcontractor," said Commissioner Roger Marietta.
Commissioner Marietta says
the whole bidding process was flawed.
"I'm on the solid
waste committee and we weren't even consulted. It was done kind of behind our
backs and I think it should have been presented to us first."
Commissioner Fletcher says
she felt the conversation got off topic.
"What should have
been a simple vote ended up getting tabled because there were discussions that
maybe weren't appropriate. I don't know that everything that happened in there
was it legal or was it not legal," said commissioner B.J. Fletcher.
The contract will expire
at the end of June, but the city manager is hoping they can extend their
current contract until commissioners make a decision.
Waste Pro's bid is about 80 thousand dollars
lower that Trans Waste.

[[Performer~P217727~Dean Koontz~deankoontz]] scripted this adaptation of his fantasy novel. The tale begins when two sisters, Lisa ([[Performer~P47490~Rose McGowan~rosemcgowan]]) and Jenny ([[Performer~P27400~Joanna Going~joannagoing]]) arrive for a ski vacation in the mountain resort town of Snowfield, Colorado, where they discover their landlady is dead and the town is deserted except for a single dead police officer. Lisa and Jenny are soon joined by Sheriff Bryce Hammond ([[Performer~P426~Ben Affleck~benaffleck]]) and his deputies Stu Wargle ([[Performer~P197753~Liev Schreiber~lievschreiber]]) and Steve Shanning (Nicky Katt). The five conclude that the entire town is missing or dead, but after they head for a local hotel, they hear a [[Performer~P13696~Patsy Cline~patsycline]] tune emanating from the second floor -- where a scribbled message mentions "Timothy Flyte" and the "Ancient Enemy."

Everyone had a good time at our recent annual picnic. Thanks to everyone who made it possible! The food was great and all the contributions of salads and desserts were delicious!
Many thanks, also, to all who participated in the gift basket raffle. Ladies Auxiliary President, Carole Browning, raised $116 for her charity, the Humane Society.

A big thanks to Aerie President, Scott Nettleton, who provided storage space for our new paddle wheel.

Four new members were welcomed into the Auxiliary in July – Cindy Anderson, Kris Ott, Kristine Demarest and Susan Carson. We're looking forward to seeing you at future meetings!
We regret that Opal Pope and Mavis Welcome were not at the meetings in July. They lost out on winning the membership pot. Sorry, ladies. Remember, members, you could be a big winner when you attend Auxiliary meetings!
Please note: The Ladies Auxiliary will hold a fall membership drive in October at the special membership rate of $30 for new members. Look for more information in September!

July and August outings were cancelled. The next outing will be at the Velasco's on September 5, 6 & 7, where you can enjoy Mt. Rainer and NW Trek, along with the Velasco's wonderful hospitality. Several members plan to leave the Velasco's on September 8 and head down to the Oregon coast with the destination of Newport in mind. Be sure to attend the next Travel Club meeting on August 13 to make final plans, or contact Mollie to let her know if you plan on going The September outing is the last outing scheduled. If you have any ideas and would like to volunteer to be a host/hostess, please come to the meeting to discuss! See you there!
Please be prepared to show your valid membership card at any time. Also, remember to sign in your guests and after 3 guest visits, encourage them to sign up for a membership. Aerie membership for initial sign up = $55; then $40 a year. Ladies Auxiliary initial sign up = $40 and then $25 a year (unless there's a special membership drive). Such a good deal that gives members access to other Eagles clubs in the U.S.A. and Canada! Build new friendships along the way!
BUS TRIP - Saturday, September 27. $30 per person which includes drinks. Sign ups start on August 15. We will be visiting the Eagles clubs in Kirkland, Renton, Issaquah and Snoqualmie.
BINGO – Bingo will be coming back if we can get volunteers to run the games! Contact Vi or Ken if you can help!
Do you have any games taking up space in your closet? Board games, Yahtzee, card games, trivia??
Bring them to the club and help build a game center for everyone to use and share. Every night can be a game night! Thanks!
To Celeste Alvarez for misspelling your last name in last month's newsletter. Unfortunately, when I heard your name over the phone, I didn't ask how it was spelled and thought I heard a different name. Sorry, Celeste. Apologies also to Grant Barrie who I somehow thought was named Frank! Sorry, Grant. That's my quota of mistakes for the rest of the year……….I hope! J
I've changed the blog posting order and wonder which you, the reader prefer. The news part first or the calendar? You may email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. In the subject line in bold put EAGLES BLOG! If you have pictures you'd like to share with the group, they are very easy for me to post. You can email them to me with a note of who, what, where and when and I'll be happy to add them to our blog.
Thanks everyone! We had 161 page views last month! Can we break 200 this month? Ritzy Ritzhaupt, Eagles blogger.
