Hungary | Ferenc Puskás dies, aged 79
Shrines in Budapest pay tribute to Puskás on Friday. Video at Hungarian websites shows passersby laying amaryllis blooms and lighting votives at Puskás Ferenc Stadion, rededicated in his honor in 2002 (see also a video montage of photographs, set to string music). (Meggyesi Bálint | Nemzeti sport) |
Budapest | "The Galloping Major," star of the Hungarian national team and Real Madrid in the 1950s and '60s, has died of pneumonia. "The best-known Hungarian of the 20th century is gone," said prime minister Ferenc Gyurcsány on Friday. Ferenc Puskás had been living in a Budapest hospital for six years with a form of Alzheimer's (see 30 Jun 05).
Tributes honored the left-footed goal-scorer for his humanist impulses, for accomplishments that came despite a 25-year exile from Hungary in the middle of his life and for guidance of a Hungarian team that, in winning a record 32 consecutive games in the early 1950s, set standards for possession and flair that Brazil and others later would imitate. His renown in football was such that tributes were worldwide. "You say Hungary, and people think Puskás," said György Kárpáti, three-time gold medalist in water polo. "If you go to Venezuela, or Naples, or Australia, people know Puskás. Puskás is Hungary. Hungary is Puskás" (quoted in Jonathan Wilson, "My Life Is Like a Love Affair, I Loved Football at the Start and I Will Love It at the End," Sunday Herald [Glasgow], 19 Nov 06). In Madrid, cellist Laura Benítez played a Pablo Casals arrangement of "Song of the Birds" as players linked arms at the center circle.
Puskás had a simple love for the ball, which he treated as a kabala, "lucky charm" (Márton Dinnyés, "Puskás, Hungary's Greatest," uefa.com, 17 Nov 06). His childhood friend and future international, József Bozsik, grew up in the same neighborhood in Kispest, outside Budapest. "We soon became friends and had a secret sign," Puskás said. "If I knocked on the wall, it meant: let's go and play football."
The child's game, however, would get more complicated. Puskás played for Kispest FC during the Second World War, but with the pro-Soviet state's nationalization of football he suddenly was representing Kispest Honvéd, the army team. The side's players created a nucleus for the national team, the "Magical Magyars," under Gusztáv Sebes. In November 1953, a friendly with England in Wembley Stadium became a pivotal juncture both for the sport and Hungarian nationhood. The Magyars' 6–3 victory would be memorialized in the name of a Budapest bar; the players in cherry-red shirts, emphasizing passing and interchange, confounded England, for whom Wembley had been a fortress (Christopher Condon, "Football Legend Puskas Dies," Financial Times, 17 Nov 06).
"Improvisation, not formalized coaching, was their strength," said Sandor Barcs, former head of the Hungarian soccer association (Rob Hughes, "Puskas, Soccer Star of the 1950s and '60s, Dies," International Herald Tribune, 17 Nov 06).
Inside that Wembley dressing room, Sebes had lectured the players for one hour, but when the old man went to the toilet, Puskas said two or three sentences about what to do, and that was it.
Puskás began that game imperiously, in the view of John Goodbody, writing in the Times (London) ("Puskás, the Man with the Left Foot of Legend," 18 Nov 06): "[Y]ou can observe his attitude by the way he juggles the ball on his left instep before kick-off as if to introduce himself to a new audience." Famously, Puskás scored after a drag-back in the penalty area, bewitching onrushing defender Billy Wright. It might be one of the most replayed goals in history (the goal occurs at the front of a video segment on the Marca website). Later, at Real Madrid, Puskás would sometimes hear the cry Hat harom ("six-three") from expatriate Hungarians ("Puskas on Life and Football," The Observer, 19 Nov 06).
The loss to Germany in Berne, Switzerland, in the 1954 World Cup final still stings. Leading 2–0 early in the match, Hungary allowed Germany to escape 2–3 in driving rain, with a late Puskás equalizer controversially overturned. Violent street protests occurred in Budapest after the match. In a post-game tableau reconstructed by historian David Goldblatt (The Ball Is Round: A Global History of Football [Viking, 2006], 352), based on the collection Puskás on Puskás: The Life and Times of a Footballing Legend (Robson, 1997), Puskás downs sausages while Sebes searches for an explanation:
Puskás: (Still eating sausage) It wasn't long before we were two goals up and we had at least half a dozen other clear chances to score which we missed. Then we sat back and tried to keep the ball in midfield.
Sebes: At half-time everyone was complaining about the ref … Isn't it odd we always seem to get British referees?
Puskás pushes his plate away and directly addresses Sebes.
Puskás: We gave two silly goals away. We should have pressed on then looking for the third to kill the game off. I got an equalizer right at the death but that Welsh linesman [Mervyn] Griffiths … disallowed it for offside. Even the English ref Billy Ling had given it.
Sebes: If Hungary had won there would have been no counter-revolution but a powerful thrust in the building of socialism in the country …
Puskás snorts and slurps down a small beer.
In 1956, as tanks suppressed an anti-Soviet rebellion in Budapest—these events were commemorated just weeks ago in 50th-anniversary celebrations—Puskás found himself with Kispest in Bilbao, Spain, for a European Cup match. Friendlies were arranged as gestures of sympathy for Hungarians in their struggle. Puskás participated in the fund-raising exhibitions, ensuring that he would face an 18-month ban on a return to Budapest. He defected and, ever in fear of retribution, would not go back home until 1981, following terms as manager at, among other locales, the Vancouver Royals of the North American Soccer League, Panathinaikos, Colo Colo of Chile, AEK Athens, and al-Masry of Egypt.
Puskás cradles Szöllósi's biography on its publication in 2005. "The reason why we came out with this book," said Szöllósi, "is to give the country back a real hero that was torn away by the political storms." A documentary, Puskás: The Legend of the Magical Magyar, is scheduled for release in 2007. (www.ma.hu)
At Real Madrid, which Puskás joined in 1958 following a two-year UEFA ban instigated by the Hungarian football association, he began at 31 a second phase to his playing career and the phase that gained him the most notoriety. According to György Szöllósi, author of Puskás (Budapest, 2005), the unplanned move to Spain forced the player out of his comfort zone. He lost some 40 lbs. and "had to become a real professional" (Márton Dinnyés, "Restoring the Puskás Legend," uefa.com, 17 Nov 06), at the same time conscious that he was being used as a negative exemplar by propagandistic media at home. He was labeled fat, a smuggler, a deserter; then, use of his name was censored, banned from mention in the official press for 15 years.
Yet supporters at home could still follow his exploits and the European dominance of Real Madrid via Radio Free Europe and the BBC World Service. For Madrid, Puskás scored 324 goals in 372 games in all competitions, providing the finishing touch for creators Alfredo Di Stéfano, Francisco Gento and Luis Del Sol. Accounts vary concerning the number of games and goals to his credit, although for both Madrid and Kispest he came close to a goal per game over his career. He scored 83 goals in 84 games for Hungary and, after gaining Spanish citizenship, played four international matches for Spain (three at the 1962 World Cup) without scoring.
Puskás helped Real Madrid to three European Cups, the most notorious before 130,000 at Hampden Park in Glasgow in 1960 (see Hugh McIlvanney, "McIlvanney Reports from Hampden, 1960," The Scotsman, 18 Nov 06). Puskás scored four times in a 7–3 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt that readers commenting on McIlvanney's account recall had long-lasting effects on the game in Scotland. Football clubs received a tape of the match to show as an expression of the game's ideal. The game featured during film nights at community centers (brief clips appear at the Real Madrid website; registration required).
Puskás made one of his final public appearances at Hampden Park in May 2002 at the Champions League final between, appropriately, Real Madrid and another German side, Bayer Leverkusen. As Hughes of the International Herald Tribune remembers, Puskás arrived with a doctor and nurse as companions, with the sense already having dawned that Puskás "will not know where he is or why he is here." Yet Hughes sensed a flicker of recognition in Puskás's face after Zinédine Zidane swiveled home a game-winner for Madrid.
The goal was a volley, left-footed, from outside the penalty area, with extraordinary power and timing. It was almost a replica of one scored by Puskás in that same stadium wearing the same shirt 42 years earlier.
Mexico | Sánchez accepts naturalized players

USA | Hispanics find 'home' in Decatur, Ala., soccer leagues
Michael Wetzel reports on Liga Revelación in the Tennessee Valley city, where Sunday soccer reminds immigrant families of old routines. More than 500 Hispanics participate in Decatur leagues, with Liga Revelación boasting 24 teams in two divisions. (See earlier reports on immigrant leagues, 23 Aug 06 and 11 Apr 06).
Migrants, many of whom work in the poultry industry or construction, savor the weekends, which becomes a family affair based on food and fútbol. Miguel Juan (see above), from Guatemala, says that he and friends refer to the park fields as "little Guatemala," "little Mexico," or "home." Says Ricardo Lagunas, 19, of Atlético Juniors:
I can't imagine life without soccer. Everyone out here speaks Spanish. Actually you can say it is Mexico, only the fields in Mexico are not this good. (The Decatur Daily, 16 Nov 06)
Israel | Columnist says, 'Save our game'
Jerrold Kessel, quoting Marc Antony, among others, cries out for integrity in football, "the people's game." "[S]occer is in mortal danger of being wrecked, annihilated, tossed onto the trash heap of unsavory pursuits. The uncouth, the unpleasant, the unsmiling that is so fast becoming soccer is replacing the joy, the fun, the unadulterated pleasure. …"
The sport, in Kessel's view, compares unfavorably with rugby, where one would not feign injury or manhandle a ref. He cites with approval the tablet at Rugby School in England, which cites the transformative moment in 1823 when one William Ebb Ellis,
with a fine disregard for the rules of football as played in his time, first took the ball in his arms and ran with it, thus originating the distinctive feature of the rugby game. (Ha'aretz, 17 Nov 06)
Scotland | Thank you, Professor, but tell us something we don't know
Glasgow Evening Times columnist Alan Davidson thinks little of a Glasgow University report highlighting sectarianism in Scottish football (17 Nov 06). The document is "about as illuminating as a pencil torch in the depths of the Atlantic," writes Davidson of the fans' consultation executed by Bert Moorhouse of the Research Unit in Football Studies.
Writes Moorhouse, "A generally expressed view was that, while the rest of Scotland has "moved on,' the Glasgow region is still locked into an outmoded, strange, and unpleasant, "tradition.' " The tradition to which Moorhouse refers of course is the division by religion, expressed most starkly among supporters of Rangers and Celtic football clubs, the Old Firm. Moorhouse suggests, among other proposals, merging the two teams' anti-sectarian programs and reconfiguring pre-game and halftime match activity to limit sectarian chanting.
In more positive news, the Times of London reports that more than 10,000 children to date have taken part in the Old Firm Alliance, a football program that allows Protestant and Roman Catholic kids to play together ("University Report into Sectarianism Sparks Controversy," 17 Nov 06).

Women and Depression is a new brochure about the many dimensions of major depression in women.
Some facts:
Nearly 18 million Americans experience depression every year, says NAMI medical director Ken Duckworth, M.D. The good news is that with a correct diagnosis, most people can be treated effectively. The bad news is that two-thirds of all people living with depression dont get the help they need.
Some experiences related to depression are unique to women, including post-partum changes, infertility, and hormonal fluctuations throughout the course of life, Duckworth said. Information in the brochure will help women to help themselvesas well as other women. All family members will benefit by using it as a reference.
Major depression is a medical illness that affects a persons mind, mood, body, and behavior. It is more than feeling down because of a recent loss or family, work or financial stresses; it occurs when these feelings become more intense and persist to the point that they affect daily functioning.
The 13-page brochure highlights symptoms, causes, women of color, life stages, and treatment, with additional sections on seeking professional help, self-help, preventing recurrent depression, and helping other women.
Publication of the brochure was supported by an educational grant from Wyeth Pharmaceuticals.

With water levels in local reservoirs continuing to drop, for the City of Willits going to a Phase 3 water restriction may not be sufficient to avoid running out of water.
The city announced on Dec. 20 it was likely to declare a Phase 3 water emergency on Jan. 8. A Phase 3 emergency cuts commercial usage by 15 percent and limits single family residences to 250 gallons per day.
The "normal" use in 2012 for a single family residence was 241 gallons per day.
If every residence and business cuts back by 15 percent this will only save 129 acre feet in a year. This would mean, barring rains arriving to save the day, reservoirs will be completely empty on or before Aug. 1.
A more substantial cut back of about 50 percent means the reservoirs would be dry in November, barring saving rains.
This projection also assumes the amount of water being released from Morris Reservoir does not at any time exceed the natural flow into it, that evaporation losses are minimal and that the reservoirs actually hold the amount of acre feet advertised.The city could also declare a Phase 4 water emergency; this would limit single family residences to 200 gallons per day and commercial ventures must cut back by 25 percent. A Phase 4 emergency would limit single family residences to 150 gallons per day and cutback commercial accounts by 35 percent.
In 2012, single family residences used 52 percent of the metered water, commercial and industrial uses used 29 percent and multiple family residences used 16 percent.

Martin Sexton
Martin Sexton is one of the most talked-about recent arrivals to the "new folk" acoustic music scene. The guitarist, singer, and songwriter has an amazing vocal range and makes effective use of it in his live shows and on his debut for the Massachusetts-based Eastern Front label. Unlike so many other contemporary singer/songwriters, his vocal style can best be described as soulful, combining the best qualities of singers like Van Morrison, Al Green, Aaron Neville, and Otis Redding.
Sexton, a self-taught guitarist and singer, was raised in a family of 14 and formed his first rock & roll band in eighth grade. In high school, he was in a profusion of garage bands, playing the music of the Beatles, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and Led Zeppelin. He left his home in Syracuse, NY — and the rock & roll life — in 1988 and headed for Boston, encouraged by what he'd heard about the coffeehouse scene in that city. Despite the ultra-competitive nature of the Boston scene, with too many folksingers and too few coffeehouses, Sexton quickly rose through the ranks. He began playing his brand of soul-filled folk music around Boston's open mic nights and street corners in 1989.
In 1991, he released his own record in cassette format, In the Journey, and much of the material on this and Black Sheep, his 1996 debut for Eastern Front Records, is autobiographical in nature, concerning his life on the road. Incredibly, Sexton sold 15,000 copies of his cassette-only album through the strength of his live shows and grueling tours around the U.S. In 1994, Sexton won the National Academy of Songwriters' Artist of the Year Award. By 1996, Sexton was sharing stages with Art Garfunkel, Jackson Browne, and John Hiatt on tours. Sexton subsequently signed a deal with Atlantic Records, releasing The American in 1998 and Wonder Bar in 2000. Sexton continued to tour, building a sizeable following throughout the states. He released the Christmas-themed Camp Holiday in November 2005, followed by the intriguing Seeds in 2007. - All Music Guide

Hello everyone – I think it's time to write and say that this blog died and unexpected and sudden death earlier this year. I've been busy working and writing novels and tearing my hair out about the Giants. Stuff like that. I'm still present over on Twitter, where there may be some changes afoot, but you can rest assured that I will keep up tweeting about the tragic orange and black for the foreseeable future. 563 posts in a little over three years, two World Championships, one no-hitter and one perfect game: I've really enjoyed it and I hope you all will keep in touch via carrier pigeon.
Remember that the Giants love you even when it seems like they don't.
I'm thinking that blog afterlife might include reincarnation so let's just call this goodbye for now. I'm hiatusing somewhere tropical and may be back. Until then…
Diamond Girl

BattleTactics.tv Tournament Rules Review and Battle Report SSU Vs Allies 300ap
Posted 02 August 2012 - 05:02 AM
Posted 02 August 2012 - 07:35 AM
I like the video a lot, and look forward to the rest of the battle.
However, I think the units that are in the copters must remain active until the helicopter is deployed. I'm not 100% sure about this, so maybe someone else can verify.
Posted 02 August 2012 - 07:38 AM
You can activate while on board and off table. On a short table I don't know why the copters deployed like that, they could both have moved 4 and unloaded the Close Assault squads to decimate the Grim Reaper units, we'll find out in episode 17
Posted 02 August 2012 - 07:59 AM
Major Mishap said:
You can activate while on board and off table.
Found this in the rules:
While a unit is inside a vehicle, it cannot use any skills or perform any actions
unless it possesses a special skill that says otherwise. The unit cannot be activated except
to exit the vehicle. When the vehicle is activated, the units inside it are not.
So if they start off in the vehicle, it is my understanding that they can't be activated until the vehicle is. I take this as including activating to pass.
I could be wrong though.
Posted 02 August 2012 - 08:11 AM
The FAQ say's the opposite:
Posted 02 August 2012 - 01:39 PM
We have gone back and forth on this one and FFG says you can pass a unit in a Helo before it is deployed. However, he did do something wrong. You can not pass the hero and then the unit. If you declare a hero in a unit you pass the whole unit. However, it did not change the out come of the battle.
Posted 06 August 2012 - 10:38 AM
Any chance of lowering the background music, had to turn of after a while as I couldn't here you two speaking.
Posted 06 August 2012 - 06:03 PM
Hey guys, let me first say your battle reports are great, very informative and a lot of great information for us noobs just getting into the game. That being said, I had a question that I thought you could clarify.
When the SSU player deployed his Fakyeli and shot at the grim reapers inside the building, he rolled for all of his "ignore cover" weapons first. I believe what should have happened is he rolled the grenade weapons separate from the sulfur thrower, because the sulfur thrower is and incendiary blast and is treated differently than other weapons. It is my understanding that you would have rolled one die for each model in the unit (which you did) and every hit inflicts one damage to the unit. Therefore, depending on how many of those 7 dice you rolled together were from the sulfur thrower, you would not have simply been able to assign them all to Ozz to mitigate the damage. Is that correct or am I wrong in my interpretation of the rule?
Thanks for any info. I'm a new player and just recently got into Dust Tactics, so I'm just trying to get a clear understanding of the rules.
Posted 07 August 2012 - 12:50 AM
Thanks for that, I can hear what you are saying now
They did play the shooting ok xBeakeRx as the defender can allocate any hits how he likes.
Posted 07 August 2012 - 04:34 AM
If you are using a flame weapon that does 1/1 damage and another miniature has a grenade weapon that does 3/1 damage, since they all ignore cover and do a max of one damage just roll them all at once. Now if I was attacking a armor 3 light walker with the same unit I would have to roll the Flame weapon first because it does 1/4 damage and the grenade weapon separate since it only does 1/1.
The defender picks how to distribute the hits across the unit.
Attacking with a unit that has"sniper" ability is the only time the attacker gets to pick who he shot at.
Posted 07 August 2012 - 05:43 AM
OK, well I guess I was confused by the wording for incendiary weapons in the rule book. The book says role one die for each model, if the test is failed that model takes 1 wound. So what about a scenario in which you only fired a flamethrower at that same squad, and 3 hits were rolled? Could you still assign all 3 to Ozz, or would 3 different models have to each take 1 wound?
Posted 07 August 2012 - 05:49 AM
Incendiary weapons roll 1 die per model in the target unit, but then the hits are distributed in whatever way the target player desires.
Posted 07 August 2012 - 06:28 AM
Alright, thanks for the clarification
Posted 08 August 2012 - 09:44 AM
Aren't limited ammo weapons "owned" by the entire unit, so even though there could be one model left in the unit, it has all of the limited weapons until they are used?
Posted 08 August 2012 - 10:03 AM
Posted 08 August 2012 - 10:53 AM
That's correct, if you had one model left and three panzerfausts, the model could fire one a turn for three turns.
Posted 08 August 2012 - 02:36 PM
yes but it can only uses one at a time since there is only one miniature left. In this case there was three miniature left so he could uses up to 3 limited ammo weapons.
Posted 08 August 2012 - 02:36 PM
I guess he got three answers didn't see the 2nd page

"Another Brick In The Wall" - Pink Flloyd
The Planetary Archives™ 's curator insight,
November 17, 2013 3:12 PM
Our education system is nothing more than child-care with some indoctrination thown in. See/hear "The Wall" by Pink Floyd (40+ years ago.) Let the children play until they are old enough to decide what they are interested in learning. That's completely different than training them from Day 1 to "sit still, be quiet, and obey authority." Training a 5-year old to become a "worker" or 'Businessman" is not education, but it may be child abuse.

Guide to hangovers
Beer July 31st, 2009
Yesterday we didn't write anything for the site. Why? We went to the game on Wednesday. I started to go through my archives and realized that for every Wednesday game I have gone to this season Thursday has suffered. I don't think that I need to spell it out for you why this happens. It's just the way it is. You can't start pre-gaming at 5 in the afternoon, watch a three hour baseball game and then stay out until bar time without some effects. For us it's not doing a whole lot of writing on Thursdays. I'll take it. The thing is this goes on a lot. It's not just a clever name. We've been down this road many, many times before. So why not give a little bit back? Why not share our vast knowledge? Why not create...(wait for it)..

CPS says principals need to be able to hire whomever they want, but they have put some sweeteners into the deal for teachers who get laid off in the future.
A small category will be guaranteed jobs; some may be entitled to an interview and an explanation of why they weren't hired; some may elect to get a three-month lump sum severance.
The union objects that the CPS offer doesn't provide job security for most teachers expected to be displaced as CPS closes more schools; only a limited number have firm recall rights; most teachers with acceptable ratings who are displaced because of economic reasons only get interviews; and time spent in a paid "reassignment pool'' is reduced from 10 to five months.TEACHER EVALUATIONS
CPS wants to implement a new teacher evaluation system with some teachers this year and look over the kinks with the union before the rating system starts counting against teachers.
The union says that, based on a CPS pilot, the new CPS teacher rating plan would put nearly 30 percent of teachers in a rating category that could put their jobs in danger if they don't improve the following year. And the union says evaluations put too much stock in tests, are not fair to teachers who do not teach tested subjects and will lead to even more test-prep and test obsession.

In today's depressing news, "@Yoenis_Cespedes" on Twitter is not really the Cuban outfielder who reportedly closed a deal with the A's yesterday worth $36 million. (You could buy about ten gourmet cupcakes 'round here with that kind of money.) Why is this depressing? Check out one of the account's recent tweets:
also my fans i will be honest with u on this ok i really like oakland a jerseys and shoes they are very style and miami was just ok really
I was seriously clapping my hands together in glee at reading that. I was all, "We have someone who is actually vaguely fashion-conscious on a Bay Area sports team!" (Barry Zito lost that title when he wore this, of course.) Then Jane Lee, of mlb.com, went and shot down once and for all that that was really his account. Which was good journalism and everything, but still decidedly depressing.
I do have to agree with the troll- I mean, person- running the fake account, though. Oakland's uniforms are a thousand times better than those Miami ones. Especially those new weird rainbow ones that they're rolling out with their new stadium which may or may not also be rainbow themed. Unconfirmed on that, but I'm working on it. If anyone every did a baseball themed fashion show, I would totally recommend the A's as a model. Open for loose interpretation, of course. Loose loose interpretation. Just because I said they're good in the scheme of baseball uniforms doesn't mean I'm saying they're ready for the runways.
Anyhow! The Giants were so kind as to inform me very cheerfully via iPhone notes app that Spring Training is now three days away.
This was the photo reminder. Instagramed, no less.
Three days! Staying on the topic of cupcakes, since I can make cupcakes from scratch in just under 13 minutes, I could make about 220 batches of cupcakes, which is about 2640 cupcakes, between now and Spring Training starting. Perhaps enough to feed the Giants 25 man roster? Or to open my own gourmet cupcake shop that sells them for a slightly more reasonable price?
That would, of course, all be contingent on my taking no breaks on the baking front for three days. Not even to check Twitter or scroll through photos of badly dressed celebrities. Read: unlikely.
Still, this all goes to show that Spring Training is very soon. To make a long story short. Which is good news indeed.

About Us
About Us
A Message from John F. Temple
President & CEO
A guidepost points you in the right direction and helps you reach your true potential.
It All Begins with a Story.
Guideposts is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing hope, encouragement, and inspiration to millions across America and the world. What you might not realize is that the essence of what the organization does is contained in our name: Guideposts.
In the literal sense, a "guidepost" provides direction and guidance. That's what our popular magazines, Guideposts and Angels on Earth and Mysterious Ways, accomplish through true stories by ordinary people who share their experiences about extraordinary events in their lives. These stories not only captivate readers, but also inspire people to put faith into action and rise above their toughest personal problems.
I like to think of each story as a guidepost that shows you a path. If you choose to, you can follow that path to an experience of hope, comfort, support, and encouragement. You can join with our readers, customers, volunteers and donors in a community of faith, providing opportunities to connect with others that share similar values and concerns through our many programs and products.
Think of Us as a Trusted Partner.
If you think of Guideposts as an inspirational ally that helps you connect your faith-filled values to your daily life, you would be right. We are an ever-growing family drawn together by a common belief: Through faith and the triumph of the human spirit, you can overcome obstacles and become extraordinarily successful in your life.
Guideposts: Inspiring People, Inspiring You
At Guideposts, there are many ways we connect with people worldwide. On guideposts.org, you'll find inspiring and uplifting stories about real people who meet life's challenges and prevail over them with a positive attitude.
Our popular magazines such as Guideposts, Angels on Earth and Mysterious Ways touch the lives of millions with true stories connecting ordinary people with extraordinary results. Guideposts also offers inspirational, best-selling books like our Daily Guideposts devotional, as well as all-occasion cards, beautiful music, and other products that serve to uplift, encourage and inspire.
Innovative Programs That Make a Real Difference
Thanks to the generosity of our friends who help fund the programs and services of the organization through the Guideposts Foundation, we are able to bring hope when and where it is needed most with programs like these:
- Guideposts publishes and freely distributes millions of Inspirational Publications including Guideposts magazines, books, and booklets to hospitals, nursing homes, shelters, prisons, and other locations to reach people in need.
- Our servicemen, women, and their families are coping with the challenges of fear and loneliness every day. Many have told me personally how our Military Outreach booklets and other materials help keep them strong and connected to each other and their faith.
- OurPrayer volunteers in the Guideposts prayer ministry bring hope and comfort by praying for over 1,000,000 prayer requests each year. Remarkably, each prayer is prayed by individual name and need.
- One of our most popular programs is directed at young children in hospitals. As kids play with the toys and games in our Comfort Kit, they can't help smiling and feeling reassured even while they're sick and away from home.
Guideposts Touches Millions of Lives.

Thanks for Getting to Know Us a Little Better.
Thanks for stopping by the web site and learning more about Guideposts.
Meet Our Distinguished Founders.
When Dr. Norman Vincent Peale and his wife Ruth Stafford Peale co-founded Guideposts in 1945, they envisioned an organization that would help people from all walks of life achieve their maximum personal and spiritual potential. The Peale legacy continues powerfully today in our vision for the future, which is to offer people products and services that inspire, encourage, and uplift.
Dr. Peale, author of the landmark best-selling book, The Power of Positive Thinking, was the pastor of Marble Collegiate Church in New York City for more than five decades. It was there he gained fame for his sermons on a positive approach to modern living. For 54 years his weekly radio program, "The Art of Living," was broadcast on NBC. He spoke to an average of 100 groups a year and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Ronald Reagan.
Dr. Peale believed that you are what you think you are, and that if you change your thinking, you change your life. He shared his philosophy by telling true-to-life stories, a personal way of communicating that is still at the heart of the Guideposts experience today.
The daughter of a minister, Ruth Stafford graduated from Syracuse University and taught mathematics before her marriage in 1930. Although she worked closely with her husband in all aspects of his ministry, she also established her own identity as a religious leader, public speaker and author. She was cofounder, publisher and chairman of the board of Guideposts, and a member of the board of directors of American Bible Society, Interchurch Center, Blanton-Peale Institute, and Laymen's National Bible Committee.

Sen. John Kerry said that there were only three countries that participated in the invasion of Iraq - The United States, Britain and Australia.
President Bush correctly pointed out that John Kerry forgot Poland.
The Polish Special Forces unit GROM participated in the invasion of Iraq.
A larger contingint of Polish soldiers were sent to Iraq in August 2003, but GROM forces were in Iraq from the begining.
Bush: Well, actually, he forgot Poland. And now there's 30 nations involved, standing side by side with our American troops.
Bush celebrates over the fact that Kerry "forgot Poland"
John Kerry was not the first to forget Poland.
Well, you did.
Poland - You Are Not Forgotten
Saddam lets Bush know that he forgot Poland
GROM, the Polish acronym for the Operational and Mobile Reconnaissance Group, is the Polish Army's special operations unit. Based on the British SAS and U.S. Delta Force units, GROM commandos specialize in hostage rescue, counterterrorism operations, and conducting operations in marine environments like boats or oil platforms. In the photo, GROM commandos are shown at the Iraqi port of Umm Qasr, which they helped secure along with oil platforms. (http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2003/iraq/interactive/special.operations/content.4.1.html)
While a "You forgot Poland" comment seems true, in reality the event never actually happened in the first place.
A "You forgot Poland" comment is weak and a sign of desperation because even if it *did* happen as claimed, it would still be a really weak and practically meaningless point.
Person B: "Well, actually, he forgot Poland"
(Person B has failed to realize that Poland was not actually in the group that "went in". Only in August of 2003 did Poland finally send troops, and it really had no effect anyway, merely a token, noncombat force.)
Anal-Retentive Idiot: "You forgot George Lazenby."
You: "Yeah, well, you forgot Poland."
Person B: "Well, actually, he forgot Poland"
(Person A has failed to realize that Polish Grupa Reagowania Operacyjno Mobilnego (Operational Mobile Response Group) participated in the first land forces strike. The port at Umm Qasr was one of the primary objectives during the initial phase of Operation Iraqi Freedom and was secured by GROM . Without it, the delivery of humanitarian aid and supplies in Iraq would be nearly impossible.
Also useful to say to someone who consistently fails to see the big picture.
"You forgot Poland, you dumbass."
During a debate Kerry said that the U.S only has support from Australia an the U.K in Iraq, and Bush pointed out "you forgot Poland". I don't see what is so funny. Poland coomands around 9,500 troops in Iraq (2,400 of which are Polish). Whoever said that poland only contributed "a few non-combat troops" is wrong. Also, I think the joke is on Kerry, since how could he not recognize Poland as an ally in Iraq?
Person B: That's stupid, Poland commands 9,500 troops in Iraq you moron.
Person A:...

Moving from safe house to safe house with the help of the Dutch Underground, Lt. Keeffe, in plain view of the enemy, evades for five harrowing months. During an escape attempt through Belgium he is betrayed, captured and transferred under armed guard to the infamous German prisoner-of-war camp – Stalag Luft III.
