Today's Wall Street Journal: Here's what happens when the president of the United States publicly targets a private citizen for the crime of supporting his opponent. Frank VanderSloot is the CEO of Melaleuca Inc. The 63-year-old has run that wellness-products company for 26 years out of tiny Idaho Falls, Idaho. Last August, Mr. VanderSloot gave $1 million to Restore Our Future, the Super PAC that supports Mitt Romney. Three weeks ago, an Obama campaign website, "Keeping GOP Honest," took the extraordinary step of publicly naming and assailing eight private citizens backing Mr. Romney. Titled "Behind the curtain: a brief history of Romney's donors," the post accused the eight of being "wealthy individuals with less-than-reputable records." Mr. VanderSloot was one of the eight, smeared particularly as being "litigious, combative and a bitter foe of the gay rights movement." About a week after that post, a man named Michael Wolf contacted the Bonneville County Courthouse in Idaho Falls in search of court records regarding Mr. VanderSloot. Specifically, Mr. Wolf wanted all the documents dealing with Mr. VanderSloot's divorces, as well as a case involving a dispute with a former Melaleuca employee. Mr. Wolf sent a fax to the clerk's office—which I have obtained—listing four cases he was after. He would later send a second fax, asking for three further court cases dealing with either Melaleuca or Mr. VanderSloot. Mr. Wolf listed only his name and a private cellphone number. This is superb work by the Journal's Kimberly Strassel, but you can bet Obama's Media Palace Guards will do everything in their power to ensure this unprecedented bullying by a sitting President is not allowed to turn into a narrative. Obama is abusing his power in a way only Nixon could appreciate, and yet the very same news out let that took Nixon down, the Washington Post, is now coordinating their messaging with the White House in order to help Obama defines his candidate as some kind of homophobe. Hard to pick which is worse: our bullying President or the corrupt media crawling into bed with him. ON BREITBART TV Obamas Enemies List Working; Businessman Bullied

November 24, 2014
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Three University of Tennessee freshmen players charged with attempted armed robbery will not play Saturday at Mississippi.
Tennessee spokeswoman Tiffany Carpenter says the team will travel to Oxford without wide receiver NuKeese Richardson, safety Janzen Jackson and defensive back Mike Edwards.
According to sheriff's officials, Richardson remains in jail in lieu of a $19,500 bond. Edwards posted a $19,500 bond, and Jackson was released on his own recognizance.
The three 18-year-olds are accused of demanding money from three people at a gas station near Tennessee's campus early Thursday morning.
Coach Lane Kiffin and athletic director Mike Hamilton have declined comment as they evaluate the situation.

text: 49ers Prepare to Move Forward Without Aldon Smith Print article Send a Tip from AP 23 Sep 2013 post a comment (AP) 49ers prepare to move forward without Aldon SmithBy JANIE McCAULEYAP Sports WriterSANTA CLARA, Calif.The San Francisco 49ers are prepared to go forward without star linebacker Aldon Smith for as long as it takes for him to get clean, healthy and improve his life.Smith was placed on the reserve non-football injury list Monday as he enters rehab for substance abuse and begins what team CEO Jed York has termed an indefinite absence."I am taking a leave of absence to address my health," Smith said through the 49ers. "I am sorry that I have affected my team, my family and the organization. I will do everything in my power to handle this situation the best way possible. I appreciate the support of the 49ers and our fans."The NFL said there is no minimum number of games Smith must miss on the reserve non-football injury list, and he can return when ready.On whether he expects Smith to return this season, coach Jim Harbaugh said only, "there's a process, we're going to respect that process."Smith played Sunday and had five tackles just two days after he was arrested and jailed Friday morning on suspicion of DUI and marijuana possession. Smith apologized after the 27-7 home loss to the Colts, and now his team moves forward without him heading to St. Louis on Thursday."We're very supportive of Aldon as we are of all of our players, all of our coaches, our personnel. Always support it in house," Harbaugh said. "We've hashed through it, now we're taking steps and Aldon's taking steps. We support him in that."San Francisco didn't immediately announce a corresponding roster move."We have a pretty good idea what we're going to do and we'll make that announcement," Harbaugh said.Smith had previously been arrested on suspicion of DUI in January 2012 in Miami shortly after the 49ers lost in the NFC championship game. He is expected to remain in the Bay Area for treatment.He could face a suspension from the NFL either later this season or next season, and it is likely given he has had more than one infraction. The NFL would let the legal process play itself out first.Harbaugh said Dan Skuta, Ahmad Brooks and Corey Lemonier will help fill the void left by Smith, who had a franchise-best 19 1/2 sacks last season. Demarcus Dobbs, who was suspended for Week 1 for his own arrest on suspicion of DUI and marijuana possession from last season, also could be in the mix for some packages."I have confidence in those guys and know they'll do a good job," Harbaugh said. "Go with the guys we've got."Smith, selected seventh overall in the 2011 draft out of Missouri, turns 24 on Wednesday.Harbaugh and general manager Trent Baalke ultimately decided to let Smith play before he entered rehab."Aldon Smith is taking a leave of absence to address a personal matter," Baalke said in a statement. "The 49ers organization both respects and supports Aldon's decision and commends him for taking responsibility for his actions. The long-term well-being of our players is paramount and we will stand by Aldon as he works toward addressing this issue. Due to the private nature of the matter, we will have no further comment."His 49ers teammates were trying their best not to let the situation become a distraction. San Francisco (1-2) has a quick turnaround to face division foe St. Louis on the road Thursday night."Coach decided to let him play, and he was out there and made some plays," safety Donte Whitner said. "I don't think guys were out there thinking about Aldon being arrested."Earlier this month, Smith and former teammate Delanie Walker were named in a lawsuit filed in Santa Clara County Superior Court by a Northern California man who said he was shot at a party at Smith's house on June 29, 2012.The players charged a $10 admission and $5 per drink, the lawsuit said. Smith and now-Titans tight end Walker, 29 were allegedly intoxicated on Smith's balcony when they fired gunshots in the air while trying to end the party, the lawsuit said.Before the 2012 home opener last September, Smith was the passenger in a car during an accident in Santa Clara County in which the driver swerved to avoid hitting a deer. Smith sustained a cut beneath his right eyebrow. He apologized and insisted he had grown up.Asked about Smith on Monday at Titans headquarters, Walker said he is getting more attention because of his status as one of the best in the NFL at his position."I pray for him because he is a good kid," Walker said. "He's just making some bad choices now."Notes: CB Nnamdi Asomugha (leg) and LB Patrick Willis (groin) were getting MRI exams Monday, while Harbaugh said TE Vernon Davis was being evaluated after he missed Sunday's game with a hamstring injury. ... WR Jon Baldwin, acquired from Kansas City in the trade that sent WR A.J. Jenkins to the Chiefs last month, could be active for the first time Thursday as the 49ers look for more from their receiving corps. They had 13 total catches Sunday. "That's possible," Harbaugh said. "He's doing a good job, had a real good week of practice last week."___AP Sports Writer Teresa M. Walker in Nashville, Tenn., contributed to this story.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org

Kylie Jenner Fakes Striptease in Naughty Instagram Photoby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Kylie Jenner has sullied Kanye West's beautiful gift to Kim Kardashian.
On Mother's Day, Kim awoke to an enormous wall of flowers in her front yard, a present she captured on camera for fans and one that even impressed North West.
To Kylie, however, this was the ideal background for her latest inappropriate Instagram photo, as the SIXTEEN-YEAR OLD exposes her stomach and fakes a striptease in the following online image.
"don't mean to make you feel how I was feeling," Kylie wrote as a mysterious caption, perhaps aiming her words at Jaden Smith.
She and her rumored boyfriend posed in bed over the weekend, with Jaden shirtless, Kylie's arms on his hips and the Internet aghast the sight of two teenagers publicizing their love life in such a manner.
Granted, we you can see below, we should be accustomed to Jenner running racy shots on her Instagram account.
But it remains disturbing each and every time. Put on some clothes, youngin...
so beautiful pice
Go on tumblr try and find a teenage girl that's not doing that? Have you heard of thinspo's look it up. X
The beautiful pic of the NWTTHP, was cute but a selfie of kylie, was disgusting I would not be to shocked if this girl 16-17 acting like she is 28-30, will come up missing one day. Remember there are a whole lot PERVERTS just waiting to catch these little girls with no Brain of class whatsoever, and where in the heck is Pimp mama kris j,and her dada Bruce. Sad, that she doesn't get enough attention at home to put herself Selfies of herself on a regular day. Kylie, must be big time jealous of kendall, what kylie need to do is really make a difference get back into school get her Diploma, go to college and not spend her life spending each day showing your body parts. Perverts are watching them on a regular day as well and just waiting. So sad.
o.k get rid of that wall already, o-m-g worst gift ever! Kylie, act your age please, you look just as stupid as that wall, your putting yourself out there like trash, come on now! you got money so show some class.
what a family!!!!!!!!!!!!! they are an absolute disgrace!! mb

Review The Song (1)
Gordon Lightfoot
In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand, with an achin' in my heart and my pockets full of sand.
I'm a long way from home and I miss my darlin' so. In the early mornin' rain, with no place to go.
Out on runway number nine, big seven-o-seven set to go but I'm stuck here on the grass where them cold winds blow.
Yeah, the liquor tasted good and the women all were fast. Ah, but there she goes, my friend, though she's rollin' out at last.
Hear the mighty engines roar. See the silver wing on high. She's a-wingin' westward bound. High above the clouds she'll fly
Where the morning rains don't fall and the sun always shines. She'll be flyin' o'er my home in about three hours time.
This old airport's got me down. It's no earthly good to me 'cause I'm stuck here on the ground cold and drunk as I can be.
You can't jump a jet plane like you can a freight train. So, I best be on my way in the early mornin' rain.

Timeless tear jerker | Reviewer: Johnny Fondlebottom | 11/29/2007
This 1963 composition by Canadian folkie Gordon Lightfoot ("Sundown", "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald")has been covered countless times since because it never fails to find a consistent resonance with contemporary audiences of all ages.
Bullet pointing the age old theme of separation anxiety, Lightfoot doesn't break new emotional ground, but rather modifies the dialactics by replacing the trading posts and railway depots that served as parting points of songs past with the more modern amemnity of the airport. This is a masterstroke, for it not only serves to update the theme for which a modern audience to better relate, it contributes an entirely new dimension to work with. In addition to the set of "here" and "there", Lightfoot's innovation gives us the dilactics of "up" and "down", which in this case are emblematic of social hierachicial status as well.
This reading from The Kingston Trio's 1965 release "Stay Awhile" is doleful enough, although lacking the stark, almost unbearable pathos of Peter Paul and Mary's version of that same year. The latter rendition flows like tears in an unbroken two-four pattern, while by contrast the Trio imparts to the song a mild trace of a country bounce, a sort of relief from PP&M's unmitigated melancholia. But the fact remains; a great song is always a great song.

If you think a loved one with dementia is not driving safely, you could have conversations about his or her driving: short conversations, such as asking, "How did it go on your way to the store today?" This way, you can find out how your loved one actually feels. Did he or she have any nervousness or any near-misses? You can use these conversations to see if he or she feels confident in his or her driving.
Dementia is a loss of mental ability memory, judgment, and ability to think. While there are numerous causes of dementia, Alzheimer's disease is the most common. For someone with dementia, life is confusing; it's difficult to remember so many things; personality may change. Medication can help control behavior problems, and some drugs can slow the rate of decline.

1 AnswerOne of the first things you can do if you think a loved one with dementia is not driving safely is to actually observe him or her driving. The next step is to have conversations about his or her driving. Then, over time, one can strike up longer and more serious conversations.
You may have to actually address him or her when a time comes when he or she cannot drive safely. The idea is to have this conversation earlier rather than later. This is a process, and it's important to begin early. Start with a small conversation, and work your way up to a more heartfelt conversation. Share your concerns with your loved ones, and be frank. For example, "I'm worried about how you merged onto the freeway -- I am concerned that you could get into an accident."
When discussion fails or in situations where driving must stop immediately, one can take the keys away, disable or sell the vehicle or remove the vehicle from the premises. If the car is removed, some caregivers will explain that the car is in the repair shop (and it stays there essentially indefinitely). Because literally taking keys away can be upsetting. Another approach is to replace the working keys with a set of imposter keys.
1 AnswerOne of the first things you can do if you think a loved one with dementia is driving unsafely is to actually observe him or her driving. Have the person drive with someone in different areas and situations, and take notes on how the person is driving in certain situations. How is he or she driving at intersections? Intersections and turns are some of the most high-risk situations for someone who is driving with dementia. That may mean taking a left turn into oncoming traffic or not yielding to the right of way -- for example, not paying attention to who was in the crosswalk while making a turn. Does the person stay in the lane while on the road? How does he or she behave with activity around him or her on the road, such as cyclists or pedestrians. How are people managing at crosswalks? Are people checking their blind spots? How do they manage merging onto the freeway? These are the things you can take note of if someone is having a problem in these kinds of circumstances.
You would want to go on a few ride-alongs because this is not about having one bad day driving. Some people may not have problems driving in familiar areas, while other people might. So you want to get a good sense of someone's driving ability across numerous situations.
1 AnswerThere are a few warning signs that are associated with dementia and dangerous driving. Sometimes a single question might help address this, and it's simply: Would you let your child ride with your loved one by themselves? If the answer to that question is no, then you need to ask yourself why you don't feel comfortable with that. This will help you determine if you have concerns with your loved one being a safe driver.
There are three very important signs that somebody should stop driving immediately. The first would be confusing the gas and the brake, and this is a very serious problem. The second is somebody needing a copilot -- people should be able to drive by themselves and navigate without having problems. Determining if there are people in the crosswalk and having problems judging if they should make a turn or not are examples of this. Having a copilot in the car to help somebody make those decisions is a sign of dangerousness or higher risk. The third sign would be stopping in traffic for no apparent reason, and this is a sign of very high risk.
There are other signs that you may have noticed in a loved one or may have seen on the road in your travels -- for example, riding the brakes, not noticing road signs, rolling through stop signs, taking a right turn where not allowed, near misses or scrapes and dents appearing on the car are all signs. Some drivers with dementia may hit the curb or receive poor reactions from other drivers who may honk their horn. This makes people feel like they've lost confidence in driving, and this is very important. If somebody feels like they can't drive anymore and don't want to drive anymore, then they shouldn't be pushed to continue driving.
Now, all of us might do these activities now and then. For example, I'm sure we've had somebody honk the horn at us. We all hit the curb now and then when we're trying to park or making a turn that's too close, but this is not about having a bad day. This is about driving patterns that are evident in a person and not a once-in-a-while thing.
1 AnswerFamilies can be very influential in getting a person with dementia to stop or cut back his or her driving, but they might be hesitant to intervene. First of all, people are afraid that if they bring up the topic they're going to damage their relationship with their loved one. This can happen, and people get into arguments over this topic. Feelings get hurt and people get defensive, so a lot of family members feel like they can't bring this up.
Another reason that families are conflicted about this topic is because if somebody does have to turn in his or her keys or stop driving, then the burden is placed on the family to provide transportation for that individual. This means more burden, more expense and more time. People have very busy lives, making it difficult to do this.
Finally, people sometimes just don't know how to intervene. They don't get a lot of help or education in this area, so they may want to but not know how to approach their loved one.
1 AnswerIf you would like to stop a loved one with dementia from driving, the very first thing is to acknowledge that it's very hard for somebody to turn over his or her keys and stop driving for any reason -- it's not just people with dementia. Other groups of people can be required to stop driving by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), such as people who have seizures, strokes or visual impairment. It is hard for anyone; it's a great loss of autonomy and independence, so a lot is at stake.
Our society has a very high proportion of older adults. So these older adults are highly mobile and need cars or good transportation to get them around to meet their needs. Turning in the keys and stopping driving can greatly influence their ability to go to the store and doctors' appointments. It can also affect people socially, including meeting with friends. It's been shown that sometimes when people stop driving, they become socially withdrawn and depressed. There are ways to reduce and limit driving to help offset and try to prevent some of these losses of autonomy.
1 AnswerDriving with dementia can pose a safety risk for other people, but it's a safety risk to the driver as well. People with dementia who drive are at a higher risk for danger, and that includes death and injury due to getting lost while driving. People can end up in strange locations, and they can also end up being exposed to the elements -- getting lost when there's extreme heat or extreme cold, for example. Others can also prey upon them when they're lost, so this is a safety risk for everyone in the public, including the individual with dementia who is driving.
1 AnswerDriving with dementia is a public safety problem, and it can be a serious one. As adults age (and because dementia is a disease that most of the time is associated with age), the risk of becoming demented increases. Therefore, because most people over 65 do drive, the number of people driving with dementia is likely to increase. It's estimated that nationwide about 30% of drivers with any type of dementia are still driving.
What is meant by dementia in this case is a severe cognitive problem that interferes with your daily life or daily functioning. Alzheimer's disease, Lewy body dementia, vascular dementia and frontal temporal dementia are serious disorders. It is, however, important to clarify that this does not include somebody who has age-related mild forgetfulness and who may not be functioning as efficiently as they were 20 years ago. Rather, it's people who have such a bad memory or cognitive problem that it interferes with their daily lives, and one of these activities is driving.
Statistics show that people with dementia have a higher crash risk, and in fact, some statistics show that even people with earlier mild Alzheimer's disease have a higher number of accidents than drivers who are of the same age but don't have Alzheimer's. The accidents can be similar in frequency to teenagers, who have a very high risk of having accidents while driving. For people with dementia, there are 19 to 27 crashes per million miles traveled, and statistically that's very similar to teenagers. If you survey caregivers and tally up what they're saying about their loved ones who have dementia, the reports show that people with dementia have up to an eight times greater risk of crashing, and again this is compared with people of the same age who do not have dementia.
One study looked at the brains of older drivers who died in crashes, and about 33% of those brains showed abnormalities, or pathologies, that were indicative of having Alzheimer's. In most of those cases, the ill driver was at fault for those accidents.
1 AnswerPeople with dementia are at higher risk for auto accidents because cognitive and physical changes that are associated with dementia can render someone unsafe to drive a car. Although some individuals with dementia feel it's unsafe to drive and therefore time to stop, some individuals continue to drive and do so in an unsafe manner.
People who continue to drive often have lost the awareness of their own neurological or thinking problems associated with dementia. In fact, that's part of dementing disorders: People lose self-awareness. They might lack or lose the ability to really determine when they should stop driving. In fact, sometimes people with dementia might make excuses or blame other people for driving problems.
1 AnswerFelipe Jain, MD, Psychiatry, answered on behalf of UCLA HealthA combination of factors contribute to dementia caregivers' high levels of stress, including the caregiver burden, or the number of hours per week and the kind of tasks that the caregiver has to perform. These tasks can include dressing the care recipient, changing a diaper, managing financial matters and even doing the taxes if that's been the care recipient's role.
Further, the care recipient may have symptoms that can be very disturbing. In addition to memory loss, there can be aggression when the care recipient is in pain or has an infection. There are also symptoms of suspicion like paranoia, or hearing voices. These symptoms can evolve over time through the course of dementia, resulting in caregiver stress.
Finally, the loss of the relationship with a family member through the chronic course of dementia brings grief. The caregiver no longer enjoys the loving relationship that was once present. Further, the personality of the care recipient often changes, which can be extremely difficult for the caregiver to cope with and to know how to respond to.

Hundreds of thousands of Brazilians took to the streets during the warmup tournament in June, demanding better public services and expressing their anger about the cost to stage the World Cup.
"If this happens again, we have to question whether we made the wrong decision awarding the hosting rights," Blatter told German press agency DPA on Wednesday.
FIFA spoke with the Brazilian government after the Confederations Cup, and Blatter said he'll discuss the issue again with Brazil president Dilma Rousseff.
"We didn't do a political debriefing, but we did emphasize the fact of this social unrest being there for the entire duration of the Confederations Cup," he said. "The government is now aware that next year the World Cup shouldn't be disturbed. To me, these protests were like alarm bells. ... We are convinced the government, and especially the president, will find the words and the actions to prevent a repeat. They have a year to do so."
Brazil's sports ministry sent out a statement after Blatter's comments.
"The success of the Confederations Cup proves Brazil is the correct choice to host the World Cup," it said. "As for the demonstrations, Brazil is a democratic country that guarantees its citizens full freedom of expression."
MLS games
Colorado used an own goal in the 67th minute after getting a game-tying score from Nick LaBrocca to beat New England.
The game winner came when Dillon Powers took a shot from the right wing that Jose Goncalves kicked into his own net. The Rapids (8-7-6) won for only the third time in eight games. Juan Toja scored for New England (6-7-6).
Erick Torres scored in the second half, and 10-man Chivas USA (4-11-5) ended a 14-game winless streak with a victory against Toronto FC (2-10-7).
Former U.S. national team captain Carlos Bocanegra made his first appearance for Chivas. He was signed July 1 after nearly a decade in Europe.
• The U.S. added defenders Omar Gonzalez and Matt Besler and forwards Alan Gordon and Eddie Johnson for the Gold Cup quarterfinals. Oguchi Onyewu, Herculez Gomez, Jack McInerney and Corey Ashe were dropped.
• Chelsea's ambitious bid to sign striker Wayne Rooney from Manchester United was rejected by the Premier League champions. Rooney, 27, has pushed for a move since expressing frustration about his lack of playing time.
• FC Dallas signed Argentine midfielder Mauro Diaz, 22.
• D.C. United traded defender Brandon McDonald to Real Salt Lake for two draft picks.
• Alejandro Silva and Wilson Pittoni scored to help host Olimpia of Paraguay beat Brazilian club Atletico Mineiro 2-0 in the first leg of the Copa Libertadores final.

(Min 3 characters)
The church of ST. JOHN, Walsall
Wood, originated in a mission established by the
earlier 1820s. Services were at first held in cottages,
but in 1825 the vicar of St. Matthew's was licensed
to hold them in a schoolroom. (fn. 28) In 1836 1½ a. on the
north side of the present High Street was acquired
from Lord Bradford as the site for the church, which
was consecrated in 1837. (fn. 29) The living was endowed
with £500 raised by subscription and augmented by
£20 yearly out of Walsall vicarage. (fn. 30) In 1845 a new
parish of St. John was formed out of St. Matthew's
parish. (fn. 31) The living, at first a perpetual curacy and
from 1868 a vicarage, has remained in the gift of the
vicar of St. Matthew's. (fn. 32) The minister's house originally lay west of the church on the site of the
present St. John's Close. (fn. 33) It was replaced by a new
house north of the church in 1967 and demolished
in 1968. (fn. 34)
Several missions have been opened from St.
John's. A mission centre was established at Clayhanger c. 1872. (fn. 35) The mission church of Holy
Trinity there was opened in 1879; designed by D.
Shenton Hill of Birmingham, it is a brick building
with rendered walls and has a bell in a bellcot. (fn. 36)
Christ Church, High Heath, was opened c. 1886
and is built of rendered brick in a mixed Gothic and
Renaissance style; it was closed in 1973. (fn. 37) St. Mark's,
School Street, Shelfield, was opened in 1895 and
closed in 1964. It was replaced in 1965 by a new
mission church of St. Mark in Green Lane, with a
house near by for an assistant curate. (fn. 38)
The church of St. John was designed by a Mr.
Highway of Walsall (probably Isaac Highway) in
a plain Gothic style. (fn. 39) It originally consisted of a
nave and west tower in blue brick; of that building
only the tower and west wall of the nave remain. A
south aisle of red brick and a sanctuary were added
in 1886, and a north aisle designed by H. E. Lavender of Walsall was built to match in 1895; there is a
vestry at the end of each aisle. (fn. 40) The rebuilt nave
has an arcade of five bays with cast-iron piers and
foliage capitals. The original graveyard was c. ½ a.
in extent; under the inclosure award of 1876 4 a. in
what is now Brookland Road was assigned to the
parish as a burial ground for all denominations in
Walsall Wood. (fn. 41)
A mass-centre was
opened from St. Patrick's, Walsall, in 1891 in the
clubroom of the Four Crosses inn at Shelfield. (fn. 42) A
school-chapel dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paul
was opened in 1893 on the corner of Mill Road and
Broad Lane on a site given by Peter Aspinall of the
Four Crosses; designed by S. Loxton of Walsall and
Cannock, it is of brick. A parish, which at first
included Aldridge, was formed in 1909; a resident
priest was appointed and occupied a house adjoining
the church. The Franciscans took over the parish in
1924. They left in 1966, and Shelfield passed back
into the care of the archdiocese of Birmingham. In
1932 the church of St. Francis was opened on the
opposite side of Mill Road to the earlier buildings,
part of the cost being met by a gift of £3,000 from
R. Holden. In 1974 the former chapel and house were
being used respectively as a parish hall and a social
club. The Roman Catholic population of St.
Francis's parish in 1974 was 1,025.
A barn at
Shelfield Lodge and the clubroom at the Horse and
Jockey inn at Walsall Wood were registered in 1813
for unspecified dissenting worship. (fn. 43) About the early
1820s Benjamin Wheeley and other Wesleyan
Methodists from Walsall began to hold a school on
Sunday mornings in a barn at Walsall Wood, with
a service in the afternoon. (fn. 44) By 1851 the congregation at the afternoon services averaged 25, but there
was still no proper chapel. (fn. 45) There was a chapel in
Walsall Road to the south-west of the canal bridge
by 1882, and probably by 1878; it is a Gothic building of brick. It was replaced c. 1902 by a chapel
further north on the opposite side of the road; it
had been closed by 1959 and was subsequently
demolished. The earlier chapel became a Sunday
school and since 1946 has been occupied by W.
Hawkins & Son, organ-builders. (fn. 46)
By 1851 Wesleyans were meeting in temporary
premises at Shelfield, and on Census Sunday that
year there was an evening congregation of 25. (fn. 47) In
1864 a chapel was built on the corner of Lichfield and
Spring Roads; (fn. 48) it is a Gothic building of brick with
a cement façade. It was replaced in 1906-7 by a
chapel built to the south. (fn. 49) Designed by T. W.
Sanders of Walsall, (fn. 50) it is of brick and has an ornamental façade with stone dressings. The earlier
chapel became a hall.
Ebenezer Primitive Methodist chapel in Lichfield
Road towards the northern end of Walsall Wood
was built in 1863. (fn. 51) In 1891 a new chapel, of red
brick in a baroque style, was built on the same site. (fn. 52)
The adjacent school is dated 1908. A Primitive
Methodist chapel was built at High Heath on the
corner of Mob Lane (now Coronation Road) and
Broad Lane (now Broad Way) in 1893. (fn. 53) It is of red
brick with blue-brick dressings. A Primitive Methodist chapel was built in Four Crosses Road, Shelfield, in 1906. (fn. 54) Now Shelfield Centenary Methodist
church, it is a brick building with applied halftimbering.
The Church of the Latter-day Saints registered
a building near the Horse and Jockey in 1855; they
had ceased to use it by 1876. (fn. 55) There was a chapel of
unknown denomination at the west end of Beech
Tree Road between at least 1878 and 1883. (fn. 56)
The Christian Brethren registered the Gospel
Hall in Clayhanger Road in 1927 and the House of
Prayer in Coppice Road in 1934. (fn. 57)

New Mexico Proposes Stricter Alcohol Licensing Regulations July 14, 2006 » By Megan Gordon
The New Mexico Alcohol and Gaming Division has proposed the adoption of several new regulations to cut back on alcohol sales to minors and intoxicated customers. The Regulation and Licensing Department held three hearings on the proposed across New Mexico, including one held in Las Cruces on July 6.
Current Regulations
Under current regulations, the director of the State Alcohol and Gaming Division can revoke an establishment's liquor license if the business receives five citations in a year for serving alcohol to minors or to intoxicated adults. If the proposed changes are adopted, an establishment could lose its liquor license after four citations in a year for serving alcohol to a minor. Two citations in a year for serving intoxicated customers would result in revocation of an establishment's liquor license. Any combination of four offenses in a year for serving minors or inebriated adults could also result in the loss of a liquor license under the proposal. The proposed regulations would scrap a provision that allows restaurants and bars to contest the results of a blood-alcohol test if a patron registers 0.14 or higher, nearly twice the legal limit to drive of 0.08. Gary Tomada, director of the department's Alcohol and Gaming Division, will decide whether to adopt the regulations.
Support for the New Regulations
Speaking in support of the proposals were many New Mexico law enforcement and government officials, including Captain Williams of the New Mexico State Police. Williams said that on the first Thursday of the 2006 spring semester at NMSU, the New Mexico State Police set up a road block on just one road for five hours, during which they made thirteen DWI arrests.
He also stated that during 2005 there were 620 DWI offenders in the state of New Mexico and over 40 percent of fatal crashes the same year involved alcohol.
Real-life Effects of Alcohol Abuse
Perhaps one of the most powerful testimonies came from a woman who told of her personal experience in a hit and run accident, in which she received a DWI. She spoke of several establishments that would regularly serve her beyond the point of obvious intoxication in the hopes of getting a better tip. She no longer drinks and fully supports any measure that will help reduce the amount of drunk drivers on the road.
A slide show created by the father of Stephen Judd, an NMSU student who died two years ago from alcohol poisoning on his 21st birthday, was shown to the audience. In it, Judd's father spoke of the night his son died; describing how one local establishment had served his son 18 drinks in one hour, despite obvious signs of intoxication, including vomiting. When Judd was admitted to the hospital at 8:30 the morning after, his BAC registered at 0.427.
Opposition to Stricter Enforcement
These proposals have local restaurant, bar, and retail businesses up in arms, many of which voiced their dissent at the public hearing held in Las Cruces.
"I support the regulation to decrease the amount of violations of selling to minors, because that is a clearly identifiable infraction," said Tom Hutchinson, owner of La Posta Restaurant in Mesilla.
He pointed out however, that holding severs and bar tenders accountable for determining when a person has reached a 0.14 level is unfair, since a patron's outward appearance and actions due to intoxication can vary, and it is not always easy to tell when a person has had too much to drink.
Also in opposition was Senator Mary Jane Garcia, who is part-owner of Victoria's Night Club. She argued that with so many different types of businesses, from night clubs to restaurants and convenient stores, the proposed regulations will be very difficult to effectively enforce.

Not only are many families celebrating the joys of spring break (well, at least the kids are celebrating!), many are busy preparing for the week-long festival of Passover. This is where we retell the story of the Exodus by reading the Haggadah, singing songs and eating specially-prepared foods.

Negotiation is vital to organizational effectiveness. Sales Trainers can implement better sales
training programs by teaching negotiation tactics. These tactics
can be used to facilitate sales support and it can also be used
by the trainer themselves to justify a business case to upper
level management for increasing training budgets and obtaining
the funds for new training technologies and resources that
drives sales support. GET YOUR BUDGET BACK!
Sales negotiation is an increasingly
important part of the sales process. Negotiation starts when the
sales professional and the buyer are in agreement that a sale
should be made. A price will be compromised when the sales
person gives a price drop incentive or increases the benefits.
At that point, the buyer will be more open to purchasing when
there is an increase in benefits.
The buyer will also negotiate before making any kind of commitment
and give objections to the sale to see what they can "get" as a
part of the deal. The sales person will then overcome these
objections by raising the value of their sales position. The sales
closing will occur when all the objections are answered and all
selling points are negotiated. The final offer, commitment and the
signing of a contract that outlines the financial agreement will be
the result of these series of negotiations.
Also when developing and implementing a training program focused on
negotiation skills, you may consider the idea of "creative
collaboration". Creative collaboration in negotiating arrives at a
better collaborative outcome where both parties have an opportunity
to develop and improve synergies between each other which benefits
both sides.
For many trainers, however, negotiating is confrontational. NOT
NEGOTIATING is one of the reasons you may have seen a budget cut in
your training department!
LESSON LEARNED: Learn to negotiate and earn a right to speak in the
C-Suite! Show your Executives how your training has increased new
business revenue and reduced operational costs as your sales team
brought in more sales! A little math, a little negotiating skill
and a little guts can bring BIG DIVIDENDS - especially when it
comes to the organizational support for your training budget! This
is a more 'partnership' approach. Everyone likes a Win-win!

Hi ladies,
DH and I are still having some trouble settling on a name (though I know we still have lots of time).
|Thu, 03-15-2012 - 10:22am
I know I'm a little late with my reply, but just wanted to add that I love Henry.
|Wed, 03-07-2012 - 9:12pm
Your latest post just made me think of something....
Are you guys planning on having another child? If you are, then could you name this baby with the middle name of John and then use Loren for the next baby. Since it (At least to me - the way I am prouncing it) could go for either sex you would be able to use it as a middle name for either.
Just a thought??

|Wed, 03-07-2012 - 7:48am
Henry, Henry, Henry in that order ;)
I love the name Henry so much. Classic, smart, fresh (since it's not incredibly popular now), sweet. I think it goes nicely with your middle and last names as well.
If forced to choose a 2nd place it would be a tie between Theodore and Seth.
|Tue, 03-06-2012 - 1:42pm
Here are my feelings on them (and keep in mind, we all have such totally different tastes in names!):
First, I really seem to lean toward the flow of John Loren versus Loren John. The cadence just feels better to me. I'm not sure, though, if you have them in a particular order for a reason?

1/4 Photos of The Clockmaker's Caramel Coated Popcorn (A Haunted Recipe)
Prep Time:
Cook Time:
5 mins
10 mins
In 1921, a German born clockmaker quit his well respected job to open a popcorn stand in Chicago's Wicker Park District. The clockmaker's typical fare was freshly popped popcorn drizzled with warm butter and sprinkled with salt; but his favorite, and most beloved popcorn, was his caramel coated popcorn. The recipe he used to make it was given to him from his only true love, who tragically died four years earlier during World War I. The tattered and torn recipe, which was scribbled on the inside of an old playbill, was carefully framed and sealed in an exquisite frame. The clockmaker faithfully took the framed recipe with him everywhere he went. By the summer of 1924, the clockmaker's caramel coated popcorn had captivated the entire city's attention; everyone was frantically lining up at his busy stand to buy the sweet, sticky confection. A few months later, just as the clockmaker was preparing to close his stand for the day, a small fire ignited near the stove. The clockmaker instinctively ran out to call for help. When he returned, just seconds later, he remembered leaving the framed recipe hanging on the wall. The clockmaker quickly ran into the burning stand to retrieve the recipe, but he never made it out. When the fire inspectors went into the charred ruins to investigate the accident, they found the clockmaker's frame lying in a pile of smoking debris. The frame was in pristine condition; not a dent, nor a blemish, could be seen on it. However, the recipe was gone. The recipe for the clockmaker's caramel popcorn recently surfaced and is beginning to circulate around the globe. Unfortunately, many people think the recipe is haunted because it is believed that if your clock stops running after making the recipe it's because the clockmaker has paid you a visit in hopes of reclaiming his long, lost recipe. NOTE: This recipe, as written, results in a sticky, chewy caramel popcorn. If you prefer a crunchier caramel popcorn, bake it in the oven at 250 degrees for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.

Weeks after Lil Mama heated up the Internet by landing a starring role in an upcoming TLC biopic, VH1 has now revealed the remaining actresses who will appear alongside the New York rapper.
Mama will officially share on-screen time with fellow actresses KeKe Palmer and Drew Sidora.
VH1 has found their crazy, sexy, and cool. The network has officiallyannounced the roles of Left Eye, Chilli, and T-Boz in the upcoming TLC biopic Crazy, Sexy, Cool: The TLC Story. In the film, KeKe Palmer (Akeelah and the Bee) will portray Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas, Lil Mama ("America's Best Dance Crew") will take on the role of Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, and Drew Sidora (Step Up, "The Game") has been cast as Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins. (Rap-Up)
Rap veteran MC Lyte broke the news of Mama's huge movie role earlier this month.
You heard it here FIRST! Lil Mama has been cast to play the late Lisa "Left Eye" Lopez in the upcoming biopic about the R&B group TLC! MC Lyte broke the news to HipHollywood while out and about during Grammy week. "I'm going to put my focus and concentration on helping a sister who is talented, smart, witty and just had her chances cut too short, Lil Mama, cuz that is a talented young woman. I want to see her do some beautiful things." She went on to say how she is looking to take Lil Mama under her wing and get her the shine she deserves! VH1 has already begun production on the TLC biopic and both T-Boz and Chilli serve as consultants and executive producers on the film. (Hip Hollywood)
Last month, Mama and Lyte hooked up for an event days prior to the presidential inauguration.
Lil Mama and MC Lyte could've passed for college roommates as they posed for photos at the Hip Hop Inaugural Ball on Sunday (January 20) in Washington, D.C. — and that's not even shade. Pass the ramen noodles pon de left hand side. The event, originally launched by Russell Simmons, recognizes hip-hop's instrumental role in President Obama's re-election. The "Lip Gloss" rapper joined Yo Yo in hitting the stage to pay tribute to Lifetime Achievement Award honoree MC Lyte. (Crunk Tastical)
A fatal car crash ended Lopes' life at the age of 30 back on April 26, 2002.
Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, member of hip-hop R&B group TLC, was killed in a car accident Thursday in Honduras, her record label reported early Friday. She was 30. The head-on collision on a treacherous two-lane country road occurred shortly before 6 p.m. outside La Ceiba, a town on the Atlantic coast, said Carlos Bakota, a spokesman for the U.S. Embassy. Lopes, who was driving, died instantly, he said. The singer was one of eight people in the vehicle at the time of the accident. Three members of Egypt, a new band, were taken to Dantoni Hospital in La Ceiba. (CNN)
