Hot on the heels of a real tragedy, sources close to The X Factor say that judge Nicole Scherzinger will join host Steve Jones in their expulsion from the harsh, red galaxy. Nicole will not return for season 2, having received Simon Cowell's blessing to go forth — far, far, away… no, no, a little farther… please, love, if you could just keep walking — and work on her music.
Since turning my "I love Steve Jones" post inside out and doing "10 Things I Won't Miss About Nicole Scherzinger" seemed a bit cruel, here's a benign roundup of some of Nicole's most poignant and thought-provoking utterances in season 1. Print these out and let her wisdom guide you through life. You're an inspiration for her.
Merely 12 of Nicole Scherzinger's Most Powerful Lines of Poetry from 'The X Factor'
"We're nothing without the talent." (during a confessional from her hotel suite in Seattle)
"If I were a teenager again, you'd be all over my walls." (to the Brewer Boys) (ew?)
"If I were a season, I'd want to look just like you." (to Lakoda Rayne) READ FULL STORY

Art projects are fun, but come Friday afternoon, who has the energy or patience? This afternoon, amuse the kids -- and relax yourself -- with a coloring project. Grab a giant picture you can all work on at the same time; you'll be amazed at how relaxing just coloring (inside or outside the lines) can be.
What you'll need:
Crayons or markers
A giant coloring book or pad, such as those in the Red Barn Studio line
A soothing classical or jazz CD
What you'll do:
The key to making this fun and relaxing is proper preparation. To cut down on the "Mom, he took the blue one!" feuds, get a new pack of crayons or markers for each of the kids as well as yourself. Choose what design you'll color, and assign each artist a section to work on. If you have kids still of the indiscriminate-scribbling age, you might want to give them each their own page to work on, to avoid arguments with older, more practiced siblings. Spread out on the floor instead of a table so that everyone has equal access to their sections. (You'll also rediscover how fun it is to lie on your tummy.) Then turn on the music and let everyone settle into their places. Let the music and the rhythmic sound of crayons on paper soothe everyone's minds as you work on your collective masterpiece.

I would prefer to stay local, but willing to settle for a good price if shipping is involved.
Good luck. Around here they're over priced on craig's list. After waiting long enough for a good deal I just gave up and picked one up for $50ish at the LHBS.
You've just got to keep looking. If you're just looking to buy 1 or 2, you're going to pay $50-60 for it at most any LHBS. I don't think they're over-priced, it's what they're selling for nation-wide (if you can find them). I've obtained some of mine through buying a complete set-up that someone else was selling - kegerator, CO2 tank, etc - keeping the kegs and selling the rest of the stuff off.
Prices on kegs is way up from where they were a couple of years ago but I doubt we'll see them come back down.
enthuzed: I kind of over-bought last time (of course, if I get rid of any, I'm sure I'll run out and wish I had them again). What are you looking to trade for one?
I wasn't really looking to sell (I wouldn't want to lose money on them having only recently bought, and you probably want to buy it for less than market price), but was open for a trade depending on what was up.
Good luck in your search!
We just did a group buy that was dilivered in Lawrence ma and the price came to $32 each plus a little change. So far everyone has been happy with them after using them for the last month.
If you can drum up enough people it gets cheap to buy in bulk and then split it when it gets here.
Count me in for 2 or 3 in the next group buy.

It's the toughest district in Texas.
It has three recent state champions and four preseason top-15 teams.
KETK's Danny Elzner talked about the District of Doom with Jack Stallard, the Sports Editor of the Longview News-Journal.
Stallard said, "It'll be a fun district to watch but it won't be a lot of fun to coach in it. The UIL didn't do East Texas any favors. Chapel Hill, Gilmer and Henderson were a combined 39-and-4 last year. Kilgore went deep in the playoffs. Bullard won eight games. This is a great district. Unfortunately a lot of good teams will be left behind come playoff time."

Dear Readers of JWN,
I'm less than a week here and have read a few articles. It appears that many of you here has a noble intention to assist JW who are still in WT. I raise this thread to discuss how we can help them as Christians.
First, I like to encourage depressed ones here, please do not become an atheist or agnostic. In fact, I almost became one. I told the CO once: "If I left, I'll become an agnostic". But thanks to God, I remain a Christian, and a much better one because of the help and encouragement I received from other ex-JWs. If you need such help, please raise threads about your concerns. I'm sure many will be ready to assist.
Now back to my point: Theocratic War Strategies to free JW from WT
Let me begin with what I think is best:
1) Do not be angry at JWs, particularly the Elders. But instead show them the love of God. Remember that they too were misled by WT and are currently under her spell (being mind-control).
Scripture: (I'll quote from NWT unless otherwise stated) Matthew 5:46 "For if YOU love those loving YOU, what reward do YOU have? Are not also the tax collectors doing the same thing? 47 And if YOU greet YOUR brothers only, what extraordinary thing are YOU doing? Are not also the people of the nations doing the same thing? 48 YOU must accordingly be perfect, as YOUR heavenly Father is perfect."
Yes, dear Christian Brothers and Sisters, let's become "perfect" like our dear Father in the heavens. The tax collecting Elders tells all their rank-and-file NOT to greet us. But we, admonished by our Lord Jesus to do otherwise. By greeting the poor-souled JWs who hated us for no real cause, we're doing the extraordinary thing of "love" unknown to them. Continuous rejections many make us feel dejected. But have faith that the impact of our love for them will be the eventual force for "sheep-like" ones to leave WT.
2) Overcome the fear WT has instilled into us.
Scripture: 1 John 4:18 "There is no fear in love, but perfect love throws fear outside, because fear exercises a restraint. Indeed, he that is under fear has not been made perfect in love.
19 As for us, we love, because he first loved us.
20 If anyone makes the statement: "I love God," and yet is hating his brother, he is a liar. For he who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot be loving God, whom he has not seen. 21 And this commandment we have from him, that the one who loves God should be loving his brother also."
Yes, we need to constantly pray to God that we be freed from the WT "fear". Such fear caused our love for God to become imperfect. A perfect love is unselfish and is only concern with things good and chaste, kind and compassionate. We received all these from God. Since He loved us first, we should learn such love and show JW worldwide such magnificent love God has given us.
(vs 20) Without a doubt, we can see clearly JW has fall short of God's love. But let's not be judgmental over them. Rather, proof to Christ we are true Christians. Proof to God we are His children. Love the JW who hated us. Show God we're not liars. We love those whom we can see. In this way, there stands a real chance for us to love Him, who we cannot see. (Thanks to Jesus. Such faith is possible and with it, we can approach God and be accepted by Him.)
These are my two cents contribution. May more brothers and sisters contribute to this "Theocratic War Strategies" so that we can see how we can more effectively show our love to JWs worldwide.

In what ways do you think ex-JWs can show love to current JWs?
I'm especially thinking of ex-JWs who have DAd or been DFd and are currently being shunned.
The doors are shut and locked on the JW side, not on ours.

having DA'ed myself, I was expecting all of the shunning from all of the witnesses I knew for the past 30 years.
But the way that they all think that my life would just fall apart after leaving was just a little over the top.
So I decided that the way I would show them "love" would be to get involved in charities/causes/needs, that are helpful to society as a whole.
Then because of doing this, several times my efforts would be published in the paper, or broadcast on TV.
So without "saying a word" I purposely let the jw's know that I did not just dry up and blow away after walking away from their belief system.
And I know from experience that it just throws a wrench into the boe's thought process, perhaps if just one witness sees that life can go on
after leaving they might actually consider moving on themselves.
Tomorrow night I will be giving a presentation at the local city library about my involvement in one of my charitable causes, they really have gone out to let residents know about it, it should be interesting to see if any witnesses show up !!

Currently, I know a twin Sisters who are both ex-JWs actively assisting those who are ready to leave WT.
1) A lot of such ones are on the Internet, posting queries. We who are out of WT and had rebuilt our lives can be of help to them, both through our concern and our loving comments.
2) Not all JW will fully follow WT "command" to shun us, especially those facing ongoing calamity and the initial "keep warm and well fed" period has past. My wife and I had tried visiting them. They had received us warmly. I hope some day we can help them break free from WT .
3) If you have joined a Church, you are in a good position to teach your fellow Church friends how to deal with JW at the door. Advice them not to slam the door, nor fear their presence. On the contrary, get your friends to offer topics that will get JW into thinking process after they leave. E.g. showing interest in the history of WT, especially the days of CT Russell (why is he buried under a pyramid that is viewable from Google Earth?), JF Rutherford, and 1975 will get the JW into research. Also, remember arguing about doctrine is usually not the best way to convince JW to leave WT. Rather, showing love to them will. This is because WT painted the picture that all "in the world" are loveless. But their ability to see love in action will proof WT wrong/bias about many people. (Aren't we living examples of such?)
4) Sometimes we meet JW on the street. Familiar faces. Greet them. Tell them "I love you guys", "We're praying for you". You're not under WT "commandments". Show them your current life is happier and more meaningful. My wife told me what happened the last time we smiled at the Elder that DF us (who also smiled back). After we walked a distance, my wife peeked back. She told me he looked depressed, staring at the dried goods (we're at a shopping mall). I believe my "Apostate Materials" regarding CT Russell's pyramid has some effect on him. (He has to read them to tell me they're "Apostate Materials" and use them against us.)
Well, these are some experiences I had tried and if you have more, please post them. Let's try to device more ways that can help saved those we love from WT.

I was Dfd in absentia and in all honesty it hurt my family more than me.
What the elders do not understand is that they destroy utterly destroy families, the very thing they say is falling apart as it is.
They hurt and burden famlies with unneccessary religious rhetoric. read if you can the watchtower printed in 1947 where the condemn the catholic church for excommunicating people calling it "unscriptural" and even quoting scriptures they now use. So was the catholic church given scriptural knowledge greater than the FDS. Was their light brighter.
The love we show is getting on wih our lives and never looking back.

The Bills continue their strong draft by selecting linebacker Kiko Alonso, who has a size and playing speed combination that is hard to find. After battling through some off-field issues early in his collegiate career, Alonso turned things around to become an impact defender for the Ducks. Few linebackers possess the speed to track down plays in pursuit all over the field.

UPDATE: Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman calls for Israeli occupation of Gaza
When is a ceasefire deal not really a ceasefire deal?
"We did not receive any official draft of this Egyptian proposal," Sami Abu Zuhri, a senior Hamas official in Gaza.
Back in 2012 during Operation Pillar of Defense, the elected government of Egypt headed by Morsi, brokered a ceasefire agreement between the Palestinians and the Israelis which brought a legitimate end to Israel's illegitimate attack.
It pissed off the Israelis and the White House but they had no options. Israel was being condemned openly by the rest of the world for their brutal attacks on civilian targets and the ceasefire deal backed them further into a corner.
"Morsi did something seemingly undoable: He condemned the Israeli military action and supported the Palestinian people," Shehata says, "and at the same time was actively involved and seen as the most likely broker for a truce."
Although Hamas is the ruler of the Palestinian Gaza Strip, in the past it was never welcomed at the negotiating table. The United States and Israel won't speak to Hamas, labeling it a terrorist organization.
But in this new Middle East, where many compliant Western-backed dictators are replaced with Islamist elected leaders, Morsi, Shehata says, became the only feasible mediator. He spoke to world leaders, from Iran, historic backers of Hamas, to the United States. And using his links with Hamas, an offshoot of the regional Muslim Brotherhood, he conveyed messages back and forth — all while taking a line very different from Egypt's Western ally, the United States: blaming Israel for the aggression. NPR
Morsi used all of his leverage and his popularity among Muslims in the Middle East and was very public about the ceasefire negotiations process. A week into Israel's attack, they had to agree to the deal and the bombs stopped raining down on Gaza.
Today's deal is nothing like Morsi's back in 2012. It's geopolitical theater designed to give Israel's brutal assault on civilians a thin veneer of credibility or "international legitimacy" as Mr. Netanyahu said. It's theater crafted by the spin doctors and marketing gurus who think they cleverly fooling the rest of the world. They aren't.

Cool Runnings is a 1993 American sports film directed by Jon Turteltaub, and starring Leon, Doug E. Doug, Rawle D. Lewis, Malik Yoba and John Candy. The film was released in the United States on October 1, 1993.
It is loosely based on the true story of the Jamaica national bobsled team's debut in the bobsled competition of the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.[1][2]
The film received positive reviews, and the film's soundtrack also became popular, with the reggae single "I Can See Clearly Now" by Jimmy Cliff reaching the top 40 in nations such as Canada, France, and the UK.
Irv Blitzer was an American bobsled two time Gold Medalist at the 1968 Winter Olympics who finished first in two events again during the 1972 Winter Olympics but was disqualified from the latter for cheating and retired in disgrace to Jamaica, where he leads an impoverished life as a bookie. Irving is approached by two Jamaican athletes: top 100m runner Derice Bannock, who failed to qualify for the 1988 Summer Olympics when another opponent accidentally tripped him at the trials, and Sanka Coffie, a champion push cart racer.
The athletes wish to use Irving's previous experience as a Coach in order to compete in the 1988 Winter Olympics as bobsledders. Irving had been good friends with Derice's father, Ben, a former sprinter whom Irving had tried to recruit for the bobsled team years ago, who is presumed to be deceased. Yul Brenner, another runner who was tripped at the qualifier, joins the team as does Junior Bevil, the runner who tripped Yul and Derice. Eventually Irving is convinced to coach the team.
The four try to find various ways to earn money to get in the Olympics; singing on the street, arm wrestling, and holding a kissing booth, but all fail. Junior, however, sells his car, which gets the team the money that they need. Later on in a hotel room, Junior reprimands Sanka for hurting Yul's feelings and tells him about his father's past and how he became rich with hard work. He encourages Yul not to give up on achieving all of his goals.
In Calgary, Irving manages to acquire an old practice sled, as the Jamaicans have never been in an actual bobsled. The Jamaicans are looked down upon by other countries, in particular the East German team whose arrogant leader, Josef, tells them to go home, resulting in a bar fight. The team resolves to view the contest more seriously, continuing to train and improve their technique. They qualify for the finals, but are briefly disqualified. At the primary judge meeting, a frustrated Irving immediately confronts his former coach from the '72 Olympic Winter Games Kurt Hemphill, now a primary judge of the '88 Olympic Winter Games, for disqualifying the Jamaicans for his mistake. He confesses that he made the biggest mistake in his life and resorted to cheating by hiding weights underneath the sled to make it run faster. Irving's 1972 Gold Medals were revoked and he embarrassed his country with the scandal. He says that if Hemphill wants revenge, he should just punish Irving and not his team. He begs Hemphill to let the Jamaicans qualify and represent their country in the Olympics. Later, the judges overturn their decision and the Jamaicans re-enter the competition.
The Jamaicans' first day on the track results in more embarrassment and a last place finish. Sanka convinces Derice to stop copying qualities of the Swiss team. Once the team develops their own style, the second day proves; the Jamaican team finishes with a fast time which puts them in eighth position. Later, Irving tells Derice the truth about his past and convinces him to think of himself as a champion even if he doesn't win the gold, saying, "A gold medal is a wonderful thing, but if you're not enough without it, you'll never be enough with it."
For the first half of the final day's race it looks as though they will break the world bobsled speed record, until tragedy strikes: their sled, due to being old, has one of the blades fall off, and flips on its side coming out of a turn towards the end of their run, leaving them meters short of the finish line. However, the team lifts the sled over their shoulders and walks across the finish line to rousing applause from spectators, including Josef, Hempill, and Junior's father. The team, at the end, feels accomplished enough to return in four years to the next winter Olympics. A brief epilogue states the team returned to Jamaica as heroes and upon their return to the Winter Olympics four years later, they were treated as equals.
A soundtrack album with 11 tracks was released by Sony in 1993 on compact disc (Columbia Chaos OK 57553).
In some European countries the soundtrack album was released by Sony with a 12th (bonus) track being Rise Above It performed by Lock Stock and Barrel (Columbia 474840 2). Songs from the sound track also featured in a little know musical "Rasta in the Snow", which was based on events of the real Jamaican sled team.

The film received positive reviews.[3] Cool Runnings has received a rating of 74% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 31 reviews, with 23 positive and 8 negative. The site's consensus states "Cool Runnings rises above its formulaic sports-movie themes with charming performances, light humor, and uplifting tone."[4]
The film debuted at #3.[5] The film had total domestic earnings of $68,856,263 in the United States and Canada, and $86,000,000 internationally (with $416,771 earned in Jamaica), for a total of $154,856,263 worldwide.
Cool Runnings was, as noted above, based on real life events surrounding the formation of the Jamaican bobsled team. Some of the incidents that occurred in the film were real, such as the favorites to win the four-man event being the Swiss team (which they did), and the crash that eliminated the Jamaicans from further competition. However, there were several creative liberties taken by the filmmakers in order to complete the story.
The bobsledders portrayed in the film are fictional, although the people who conceived the idea of a Jamaican bobsled team were inspired by pushcart racers and tried to recruit top track sprinters. However, they did not find any elite sprinters interested in competing and instead recruited four sprinters from the army for the team.
Irving "Irv" Blitzer is a fictional character; the real team had several trainers, none of whom were connected to any cheating scandal. At the time of the movie's release, the United States had not won a gold medal in bobsleigh at the Winter Olympics in the four man event since 1948.
In the film, the team is formed by Jamaican sprinters after failing to qualify for the 1988 Summer Olympics. The Jamaican Summer Olympic Trials would have occurred following the Winter Olympics in Calgary.
A fictional all-encompassing winter sports governing body, the "International Alliance of Winter Sports", appears in the film. In reality, each Winter Olympic Sport has its own governing body, and bobsledding falls under the jurisdiction of the International Bobsleigh & Skeleton Federation (or FIBT, the initials of its French name).
One of the most fictionalized parts of Cool Runnings was the competition itself. In the film, the Jamaicans are regarded as unwelcome outsiders to the Games by other countries (particularly East Germany) and ridiculed. In reality, the Jamaicans were treated as equals and there was no real animosity between the team and their competitors; in fact, the Jamaicans were aided by another team who lent them one of their backup sleds so they could qualify.
The bobsled competition in the film consists of three individual runs held on consecutive days, whereas in reality the Olympic bobsled competition is two runs a day held over a two-day period.
While the Jamaicans did crash their bobsled, the film implied it happened during the finals and depicted the team as one of the medal contenders having run a world record pace prior to the crash. After the crash, the film depicted the Jamaicans carrying their sled on their shoulders to the finish to a slow-building standing ovation. In reality, the crash happened during the qualifiers and caused the Jamaicans to miss the finals, they were not setting a record pace, and they did not carry the sled but walked next to it. When the sled tipped, they were doing 80 miles an hour: their helmets scraped against the wall for 600 meters until they came to a stop.[6] They also received somewhat sporadic applause, less than the crescendo response in the movie,[7] but the real bobsled driver Dudley Stokes cites the spectator applause as the reason the run turned from tragedy to triumph for him.[8]
In the film the crash is depicted to have been caused by a mechanical failure in the front left blade of the sled. As the driver steers, a nut and bolt on the control column work loose eventually causing a loss of control as the bobsleigh comes out of a turn and subsequently crashing.
In reality, it was deemed that driver inexperience, excess speed and regressing the turn too high caused the sled to become unstable and top heavy seconds prior to it toppling onto its left side. Real TV footage of the actual crash was used in the film but heavily edited to fit in with the film's version of the crash. Both the run and the high speed crash were disorienting: team member Nelson Chris Stokes "felt a bump" when they tipped, but didn't realize they had turned over until he started to smell his helmet, which was fiberglass, friction-burning on the ice, "which is something that stays with you for many years afterwards." [9]
On January 22, 2001, DVD was released by Walt Disney Studios in the United Kingdom in Region 2.
On January 18, 2014 the Jamaican bobsled team qualified for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. They have described themselves as "Cool Runnings, The Second Generation." [10] In light of the team's qualification for the 2014 Olympics, Dudley Stokes, one of the original 1988 team and now general secretary of the Jamaica Bobsleigh Federation, said "I don't think the support for the team, like we've seen over the last three days, would have been sustainable without the ongoing appeal of the movie".[11] The team received funding from many sources, including one donation campaign held by the online community for the cryptocurrency Dogecoin.[12]

is the hottest spot in the entire paper. From this location, the
major story can be headlined and catch the reader's attention without
even picking the paper up. It also helps sell the papers from the
dispensing machines and from carriers who approach you at stoplights.
For the home-delivered consumer, the top half of the upper half
of the front page is even more significant because when folded to
fit into the clear plastic condom, that story is the one that shows
first. My Miami Herald was delivered today with the lead
stories appropriately popping out as I carried it into the house.
Above the fold: Troops Advance Into Fallujah. But above that
top story: Dolphins Head Coach Resigns. So in the eyes of
the press it is important that American soldiers are again risking
and giving their lives to rid Fallujah of its insurgents. But the
sacking of the Dolphins' head coach is a more important news story
and will sell more newspapers.
confess to being a Dolfan and most of my Dolfan buddies agree that
a new coach is needed. But there is something else sneaking up on
us that will need some attention. That something else is Veteran's
Day. Ironically, Veteran's Day is what took over something once
called Armistice Day. The irony is that Armistice Day marked the
ending of World War I, which was dubbed the war to end all wars.
Obviously, World War I did not live up to its expectations as we
continue to have wars and continue to produce war veterans. Apparently,
the public is tiring of hearing about America's veteran production
factory and is more interested in who will coach an overpaid bunch
of under-achieving athletes. Entertainment news supersedes uncomfortable
news. Maybe if The Heat coach and The Marlins' coaches would all
resign at once, we could just plunk the war news on some page deep
inside the newspaper, as if it wasn't even happening.
has been a juggling act lately to cope with Bush's re-election,
an escalation in the Iraq War, and the oncoming of yet another Veteran's
Day. I have collected a few quotes that have been helpful in making
sense out of this nonsensical world. A good friend recently sent
a quote that she thought would help me as I deal with the post 11/2
re-election crisis. I loved it:
the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry
into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged
sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind…And
when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils
with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need
in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused
with fear and blinded with patriotism, will offer up all of their
rights unto the leader, and gladly so. How do I know? For this is
what I have done. And I am Caesar."
quote is credited to William Shakespeare. It was too good to be
true. I could easily substitute George Bush for Caesar and the quote
would fit our modern day Iraq War lunacy. Unfortunately, I did a
check on the quote and it turns out to be an urban legend hoax.
My honest self therefore will not send it on as though Caesar actually
said it, but my spirited self says he should have. The statement
fits our current circumstances so perfectly that I could not resist
using it. Is there a problem with using bogus references when discussing
George Bush, a president who used bogus intelligence to drag America
into a war? Do unto others…
did find a quote that appears to be legitimate. This by Theodore
Roosevelt: "To announce that there must be no criticism
of the President, or that we are to stand by our President, right
or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable
to the American public." This came from an editorial Roosevelt
wrote for The Kansas City Star on May 7, 1918. So at least
one statement from our past rings true and remains helpful to this
am against the Iraq War because it was sold to us as a pre-emptive
strike against a country that posed imminent danger to our freedom
and our welfare. We were lied to by our administration and even
exposing the liars did not stop it nor did it deter the public from
giving Bush another four years to spend America into bankruptcy.
He gets another four years to rev up his war machine so Halliburton
can get richer, more innocent Iraqis can be murdered, and the combat
veteran factory can produce more Americans with their lives devastated.
a child, I remember an annual observance of Poppy Day. My dad told
me it was a way to remember the veterans for their actions. Dad
came from an era where veterans were treated with some respect.
His contention was that we should be thankful to war veterans for
keeping us free. He drove that point home one day by telling me
that had it not been for the actions of our soldiers in history,
we might be speaking French. To an eight-year-old, that was a huge
relief since I did not know five French words!
an adult, and as a combat war veteran, I have my own views on respect
for war veterans. I suspect a lot of the public views combat veterans
with a cautious compassion. It has been my experience to hear and
feel a thank you now and then but that is about the depth of the
communication. I accept this because it seems incongruous to welcome
a man into your home for which you feel gratitude, yet knowing his/her
experiences, if brought to light would be grounds for removal from
the premises. The veteran understands this because he/she often
cannot stand being with himself.
King George does not get, and what many of our public does not get
is the veteran can recover from physical wounds. He/she can learn
to do things with one eye missing, or can learn to tie shoes one-handed.
We can be retrained to function at our jobs and live what appears
to be a normal life. What we cannot do is turn the goddamned video
off that plays like a screensaver in our minds. It is the video
of every horrible thing we saw or did in war. It is only the bad
stuff that won't stop playing.
video has been running nonstop since 1969. What deeply troubles
me today is Bush is producing more videos for more veterans to play
in their minds for the remainder of their lives. All of this comes
from a president with a chicken hawk administration where only one
member, Colin Powell has combat experience. And for what?
here's an offer for the vets: come to Miami and watch The Dolphins
lose more games. Lots of tickets are available, the beer is cold,
and the peanuts are fresh. This way you can be involved in something
the press views as important!

Del. Supreme Court hears Sussex Co. Sheriff's appeal
The Delaware Supreme Court is set to hear arguments in an appeal by the Sussex County sheriff of a court ruling that Delaware sheriffs do not have police powers.
The hearing is set for Wednesday.
Sheriff Jeff Christopher argues that he is embodied with police powers by Delaware's constitution, which names sheriffs, along with other officials, as "conservators of the peace."
But a Superior Court judge ruled in March that Delaware's constitution does not enumerate any powers for sheriffs, and that courts have used common law to define such powers.
The judge said the General Assembly was within its powers in passing a law last year barring sheriffs and their deputies in Delaware from making arrests.

Kristen and Rabecca were fantastic. Their customer service was excellent, both of them were very personable, and the ride was very relaxed and enjoyable. I probably spelled both of your names incorrectly, so I apologize, but thank you for a great time!
It is difficult to reach them to schedule a ride, but worth the wait.

It was a beautiful ride
|Jun 28, 2013 Shirley California, United States
Being allowed to ride through the beautiful green meadows was a wonderful experience. As advanced riders, we were free to go at our own pace, canter as much as we liked and even jump the cross country jumps. The staff was pleasant and the horses were perfectly behaved and well cared for. While some people may feel limited by not going out on mountain trails, for those who love to ride no matter where they go, this is a fun time. They even recommended we reschedule our initial ride since it was too windy that day and they were concerned that we wouldn't be able to enjoy it.
|Jun 27, 2013 Janet Nevada, United States
The guide was very friendly:)
THe horses were beautiful and perfect for a first time rider. We have been a few times and would have liked our horse to be more responsive. Also riding just around the fields was kind of boring.

A rapidly changing workplace requires a rapidly changing education system. Fortunately, the area has one, and it has been making a difference in the lives of people and in the local economy for a century. Chippewa Valley Technical College (CVTC) celebrates its 100th anniversary this year, and will mark the occasion with a centennial event at its Clairemont Avenue campus in Eau Claire Sept. 22.With 61 programs designed to prepare people for the modern workforce, course offerings at today's CVTC are quite different than they were at the "continuation school" that was the College's forerunner. What has not changed is the mission to deliver applied education that supports the area's workforce needs and improves the lives of students.Founding fatherThe history of CVTC and the entire state technical college system can be traced to the vision of Charles McCarthy, the father of vocational education in Wisconsin.McCarthy believed that education was the key to a healthy society and would allow workers to advance to their full potential."The boy who is to become a bricklayer, while he is in apprenticeship, will be taught not only the mere trade, but also some essentials which will prepare him for life and a place in the civic body," McCarthy wrote in his book The Wisconsin Idea. "He will be taught not only bricklaying, but architecture, buying and correlated subjects."McCarthy's ideas gained the support of both industry and labor and led to legislation in 1911 forming the state's first continuing education schools in all communities over 5,000. In the Chippewa Valley, that included Eau Claire, Chippewa Falls and Menomonie.The first local Board of Industrial Education was formed in 1912. People serving on the board in its first decade featured some names still attached to well-known area businesses today, including J.P. Leinenkugel, John Huebsch and Bert Bartingale.Classes started at Eau Claire's First Ward School and in Chippewa Falls at the old high school in 1912, and in Menomonie at the high school in 1913.Among the early classes were mechanical drawing, shop arithmetic, carpentry, sheet metal, cooking, sewing and telegraphy. English as a Second Language was also taught to serve the growing immigrant population."It was these early continuation schools that evolved over the past 100 years to become CVTC," said Dan Clancy, current president of the Wisconsin Technical College System. "McCarthy emphasized education and training services that are still a core part of the WTCS mission: Opportunities for high school-age students, flexible learning options for those who are in the workforce and training that provides skilled workers needed by business and industry."Serving the communitiesIn the decades that followed, the schools developed a pattern of adapting its programs to the changing needs of the workplace and the students.The College has been able to keep up with changing times by staying in close contact with business, industry and community leaders. Eau Claire's school was the first in the state to form advisory committees, made up of employers and employees representing each important trade.That system continues to this day, with industry leaders advising CVTC on how to adjust worker training to meet the latest needs. The model has worked for long-standing industries, and new industries created in the past 100 years.As millions of automobiles were being built, the continuation schools trained the mechanics. When WWI and WWII broke out, workers were trained to manufacture the war equipment.As paper mills grew in the Chippewa Valley, papermaking was added to the curriculum. Training in office machines became necessary, and as factories became more mechanized, industrial safety classes were added.When President Franklin Roosevelt created the Rural Electrification Administration, what by then were known as Vocational, Technical and Adult Education schools trained the linemen, just as CVTC continues to do today. Vocational school trained the technicians that put the early television signals on the air, and the repairmen who fixed the sets.As computer technology came to the forefront, the training of programmers and keypunch operators became paramount. The days of punch cards faded away, and new technology took its place. What became known as District One Technical Institute kept pace and today trains the workers who become the high-tech information technology specialists so many area businesses depend on."I remember the whole technology explosion, where we went from everything happening in-house to expanding it to the community," said Norbert Wurtzel, president from 1974 to 1994.The Chippewa Valley Technical College name was adopted in 1987, but the mission did not change. CVTC continued to respond to the needs of the community. The continued efforts could be seen in the construction of a new health education center to house programs to meet the growing need for nurses and other healthcare workers. "The only way to meet the needs of the area's growing healthcare industry was to develop a larger health facility, including operational health and dental clinics," said William Ihlenfeldt, president of CVTC from 1994 to 2007.A new manufacturing center, which opened in 1999, is used to train workers on the computerized machines and robotic technology used in modern manufacturing settings.Continued relevanceThe entire Wisconsin technical college system from its early days became a model for other states to follow. Locally, CVTC became one of the fastest growing colleges of its kind in the nation."That's because we went to the industries in this area and said 'What do you need?' and we put those things in place to make it happen," said Ihlenfeldt.Current CVTC President Bruce Barker likes to remind people how CVTC graduates touch the lives of people throughout the Chippewa Valley every day."CVTC graduates build our homes, heat them in the winter and cool them in the summer," he said. "Our linemen supply the electricity that lights our homes and runs the appliances that our welders and machinists helped manufacture."The mechanics who work on our cars, the healthcare workers who take care of our families, the office computer experts and accountants, and the police and firefighters who serve our communities received their training at CVTC, Barker goes on."CVTC helped train and educate the workforce needed for each generation," Barker said. "We've helped students of all ages find successful careers. We were there to retrain displaced workers so they could reboot their careers. We helped make our workforce stronger and more diverse. CVTC's history is the history of west-central Wisconsin."

HAPPY 2013!Posted by admin in Uncategorized on January 9th, 2013 | Comments Off
Happy 2013! 2012 saw us voted one of Toronto's top ten comedy acts of the year (Ami Miller Saturday, January 7 2012 EXCALIBUR, York University's newpaper), which is pretty good considering we don't live there anymore!
Six years ago we moved to West Grey Ontario. South of Owen Sound – in the countryside - two big bodies of water, lake Huron and Georgian Bay, an hour away on either side of us. When we came here we met the "raw milk guy", the "Saugeen yoghurt family", the "garlic couple" and we, fools that we are, were quickly labelled "The Funny Ones". Which we will actually answer to. So call us someday.
Currently "The Funny Ones" projects include:
A feature film "The Hopeville Picture Show – Silent Musical". True to the goodness of being part of a small-community, it can be seen upon request at Young's Garden Restaurant at 118 Garafraxa St. N, Durham. And try the Cantonese Chow Mein – it's excellent!
This new year, Jenny won Toronto's Best Magician 2013 People Choice Award Runner Up (fancy magic-talk for third). She has a 70 minute, family freindly show called "Bunni The Amazing Lady Magician" for hire – it's a comedy – but it also has some excellent (award-winning) magic. Bunni also makes a great host for your event or fund-raiser or holiday party. Check out: www.facebook.com/theamazingbunni for details.
Steve can be found singing it up in the folk-funk duo "She Likes Fiction" when he isn't baking beautiful bagels. Check out www.bagelsandboules.com for more information.

Photostat machine
The Photostat machine, or Photostat, was an early projection photocopier created in the decade of the 1900s by the Commercial Camera Company, which became the Photostat Corporation. The "Photostat" name, which was originally a trademark of the company, became genericized, and was often used to refer to similar machines produced by the Rectigraph Company.
The growth of business during the industrial revolution created the need for a more efficient means of transcription than hand copying. Carbon paper was first used in the early 19th century. By the late 1840s copying presses were used to copy outgoing correspondence. One by one, other methods appeared. These included the "manifold writer," developed from Christoph Scheiner's pantograph and used by figures including Mark Twain; copying baths; copying books; and roller copiers. Among the most significant of them was the Blue process in the early 1870s, which was mainly used to make blueprints of architectural and engineering drawings. Stencil duplicators (more commonly known as "Mimeograph machines") surfaced in 1874, and the Cyclostyle in 1891. All were manual; most involved messy fluids and were accident-prone.
Rectigraph and Photostat machines[edit]
George C. Beidler of Oklahoma City founded the Rectigraph Company in 1906 or 1907, producing the first photographic copying machines; he later moved the company to Rochester, New York in 1909 to be closer to the Haloid Company, his main source of photographic paper and chemicals.
The Rectigraph Company was acquired by the Haloid Company in 1935. In 1948 Haloid purchased the rights to produce Chester Carlson's xerographic equipment and in 1958 the firm was reorganized to Haloid Xerox, Inc., which in 1961 was renamed Xerox Corporation.[1] Haloid continued selling Rectigraph machines into the 1960s.
The Photostat brand machine, differing in operation from the Rectigraph but with the same purpose of the photographic copying of documents, seems to have been invented in Kansas City by one Oscar T. Gregory in 1907. A directory of the city from 1909 shows a "Gregory Commercial Camera Company". By 1910, Gregory had co-filed a patent application with Norman W. Carkhuff, of the photography department of the United States Geological Survey, for a specific type of photographic camera, for quickly and easily photographing small objects, with a further object "to provide a camera of the type known as 'copying cameras' that will be simple and convenient [...]"[2] In 1911, the Commercial Camera Company of Providence, Rhode Island, was formed. By 1912, Photostat brand machines were in use, as evidenced by a record of one at the New York Public Library. By 1913, advertisements described the Commercial Camera Company as headquartered at Rochester and with a licensing and manufacturing relationship with Eastman Kodak.[3] By 1920, distribution agency in various European markets was by the Alfred Herbert companies.[4] The Commercial Camera Company apparently became the Photostat Corporation around 1921, for "Commercial Camera Company" is described as a former name of Photostat Corporation in a 1922 issue of Patent and Trade Mark Review.[5] For at least 40 years the brand was widespread enough that its name was genericized by the public.
The Photostat Corporation was eventually absorbed by Itek in 1963.
Both Rectigraph and Photostat machines consisted of a large camera that photographed documents or papers and exposed an image directly onto rolls of sensitized photographic paper that were about 350 feet (110 m) long. A prism was placed in front of the lens to reverse the image. After a 10-second exposure, the paper was directed to developing and fixing baths, then either air- or machine-dried. The result was a negative print, which took about two minutes in total to produce, which could in turn be photographed to make any number of positive prints.
The photographic prints produced by such machines are commonly referred to as "photostats". The verbs "photostat", "photostatted", and "photostatting" refer to making copies on such a machine in the same way that the trademarked name "Xerox" was later used to refer to any copy made by means of electrostatic photocopying. People who operated these machines were known as photostat operators.
It was the expense and inconvenience of photostats that drove Chester Carlson to study electrophotography. In the mid-1940s Carlson sold the rights to his invention – which became known as xerography – to the Haloid Company and photostatting soon sank into history.
Use of the term[edit]
Malaysia and Singapore[edit]
The terms photostat or photostat machine (sometimes spelled "fotostat" due to Malay spelling) are colloquially used in Malaysia and Singapore to refer to modern photocopiers.[6]
In Kerala, Assam Valley, and Delhi NCR, the terms photostat, photostat machine or photocopier are used to refer to modern photocopiers whereas photostat or photostate is used to describe the activity or operation of copying determined by these machines. However, the rest of the country mostly prefers the term xerox and its other variations such as, xerox copier amongst others. The trademarked term xerox, also spelled as Jeraax or Serox, is commonly used in many Indian States like Tamil Nadu.

text: I was recently introduced to one of the most dangerous / awesome snow sports around. The notion of skiing down a mountain with a parachute on is nothing new. James Bond has been doing it for years. But replace Roger Moore's skinny French slalom skis for some American fat boys, keep the skis on, and try to land and take off at as many precarious places as possible and you've pretty much got the gist of speed flying.
