FLASHBACK: 'Disco Demolition Night' In Chicago's Comisky Park
Friday, July 12, 2013
Tonight (July 12th) marks the 34th anniversary of the infamous "Disco Demolition Night" at Chicago's Comiskey Park. In 1979, a local Chicago DJ named Steve Dahl, who had just been fired and had to get a new job after his radio station switched to a disco format, came up with a promotion idea. He invited fans to bring their unwanted disco records to a scheduled twilight-night American League doubleheader on July 12th, between the Chicago White Sox and the Detroit Tigers, in exchange for admission of 98 cents. The event was billed as "Disco Demolition Night." Promoters hoped for an attendance boost of 5,000, but about 50,000 people showed up, many of whom did not get in.
During the break between games, a box containing the disco records was brought to center field, and it was then exploded. The bomb in the box ripped a hole in the outfield grass, and thousands of fans then ran onto the field, setting fires and ripping up bases. Police in riot gear were eventually needed to clear fans off the field, and the manager of the Detroit Tigers refused to let his team play, out of fears for their safety. The White Sox forfeited the game to the Tigers. Six people reported minor injuries, and 39 were arrested for disorderly conduct.
In 2001, disco star Harry Wayne Casey, or KC of KC & the Sunshine Band, received an apology from Mike Veeck, son of Bill Veeck, who had been the White Sox owner at the time of the incident. Mike Veeck had been the White Sox' "brains" behind the promotion, and was reportedly blacklisted by major teams for years.
Of his disco-demolition campaign, Veeck said, "I made a big mistake and it backfired. . . It cost me personally. I went down the sewer. KC wasn't the only one whose gravy train stopped."
Of the entire "Disco Sucks" movement, KC said: "Every rock group in the country, every punk group in the country, had more danceable records than the artists that so-called were doing disco, y'know, so it's just, it's been really funny. And by the time, y'know, they were doing the 'Disco Sucks,' I had a Number One ballad in the country, I had another one that was Number Nine on the charts, so I felt I had already gone in a different direction to prove to everybody that we were more than just 'Shake Shake Shake' and 'That's The Way (I Like It),' y'know what I mean?"
We asked Barry Gibb if the Bee Gees felt hurt or betrayed by the "Disco Sucks" movement: "No, there was no question that it was a little tough for us after (Saturday Night) Fever, but I don't remember anyone complaining at the time (laughs), so, so, y'know, it's all fine for us and we're long over all that stuff and, y'know, for us it's just pop music. It's pop music and you can put any tag you want to on it."
Disco legend Gloria Gaynor said she questioned the entire "disco sucks" movement, and thought it hadn't really affected her: "It made me wonder if this whole thing was started by somebody who felt like the disco artist was dipping into their till, but other than that it didn't do anything to me. They didn't burn mine."

Portsmouth boys capture SENH meet
Friday, May 10, 2013
ROCHESTER — Kyle Cayer is having an MVP-type season for the Portsmouth High School boys outdoor track and field team.
Winnacunnet's Emma Checovich was the outstanding female performer with Spaulding sophomore Anna Noble second and Somersworth senior Rachel Hill third.
Hill also ran a leg of the 4x100 relay that finished second Friday to Portsmouth and broke the school record in the process.
"We're just trying to beat our best times," said Somersworth coach Steve Hodsdon. "We're looking for PRs and we're looking for whatever we can do to improve."
Checovich scored 32 points to 26 for Noble and 24 for Hill, who set a meet record in the long jump with a distance of 17 feet, 4 inches.
The versatile Cayer won the boys high jump (5 feet 10 inches) and the pole vault (10-6). He finished second in the long jump to teammate Jake Becker and was runner-up to teammate Jack Chace in the triple.
"He can do a lot of things," Lyford said of Cayer, "and he's one of the best guys in everything that he does. He's just a talented guy."
"I didn't have any crazy jumps or anything today," Cayer said, "but I did enough to win the events I did."
Other firsts for the Clippers came from Hunter Normandeau, who edged Somersworth's Isaiah Gaddy in the 200-meter dash, and the 4x800 relay.
Hill also won the triple jump and took fourth in the long jump. Portsmouth's Sarah Muse captured the pole vault by a foot over the closest competitor.

Dreamlords Overview
While the innovative aspects of Dreamlords are largely predominant, many of the gameplay elements fell both largely dated, and sadly mundane. Players are only able to choose the color of their protagonist 'Dreamlord', making it difficult to stand out of the pack, but are also able to choose a race of units, from either the Covenant, the Nihilim, or the Thul.

Dreamlords Review
By Cody 'Neramaar' Hargreaves
If you've read any of my reviews prior to this one, then you are probably aware that I am a bit of a nut when it comes to innovation. There's nothing I like less than playing a game that has purposely, and shamelessly copied another game, and I award the highest marks to games that strive to be different. The problem with innovation, with new and original game concepts, is that there is always a chance that it won't work, that the game will stray too far from the norm, and fly right under the radar.
Dreamlords, a relatively new MMORTS style game released by Lockpick Entertainment in 2007 is such a game. Its innovation draws not only from the RTS style gameplay, but also from the unique browser interaction, allowing players to access their unit and town information online while at work or school – effectively playing the game away from home. Of course, such innovative ideas are only as good as the game they are part of, and therein lies Dreamlords biggest downfall.
There really isn't a better way to put it, so I'm just going to go right out and say it. Dreamlords isn't a good game. It's not bad, well, it's not the worst game ever made, it's just lacking in a large number of areas. You'll notice the hugely dated graphics engine right from the beginning, graphics that are simply unacceptable for a game released in 2007. The sound engine isn't much better either, sound effects do the poorly animated units little justice, and with the exception of the title screen music, nothing else stands out either.
The character creation is where you'll find your first big disappointment, as in Dreamlords you have almost zero choice over the look of your 'Dreamlord' aside from choosing the gender and color. It's really quite difficult to describe, but your Dreamlord basically looks like a human silhouette, with magical energy replacing the veins. With no available hair, facial features, or body shape options available, looking different to another players character is almost impossible, with the color option being the only possible way to tell two Dreamlords apart. Luckily, you also get to choose your nation, which will determine both your available unit types, the style of your main city, and help you stand out a little from the pack.
Your choices are between the Covenant, a race of humans, the Nihilim; outcast humans will magical prowess, and the Thul, a bloodthirsty race of beasts. In ancient Dreamlords history, the Covenant and the Thul were locked in a deadly battle for the world, and the Nihilim, outcast by the Covenant for their ways, cast a spell that in its wake left the world torn apart, with floating chunks of the land being all that remained. In their darkest hour, when the beasts of the night had almost destroyed all that remained, Dreamlords appeared from the soul of the planet to save the people, and rebuild the world. That's you.
Rebuilding the world basically requires you to complete one mundane quest after another, taking back the land lost to the nightmare creatures, with the use of Tribute, Gnosis, and Soul Crystals. Soul Crystals are your basic currency, used among other things to upgrade your city on the website section of Dreamlords, Gnosis controls how many units you can have active in the field, and Tribute is used to cast spells and purchase items and equipment. While both Gnosis and Soul Crystals can be obtained through quests and dissolving loot, Tribute must be purchased with a credit card.
With everything else considered, one would think that PvP and Guilds would hold salvation for Dreamlords. Unfortunately, from my experience, this is not so. PvP takes only one form, 1v1 skirmishes involving the capture of territory, and from my experience, were quite boring. Guilds have no interaction together whatsoever outside of the website and chat, no group quests, no guild wars… not much at all really. If there's an appeal here, I missed it entirely.
Final Verdict: Fair
While I'm sure that the later stages of Dreamlords hold some appeal to the truly die-hard, the vast majority of people will find that Dreamlords dated graphics engine, mundane quest system and limited PvP options to be more than enough reason to stop playing Dreamlords forever. The innovation is there, but it just doesn't stand up well enough on it's own to recommend it.

How to get rid of stretch marks
I got my stretch marks on the 8th month of my pregnancy. I was told that it won't be removed at all but it should go lighter after sometime. My kid turned two and my stretch marks are long and dark. It is annoying. The worst part is, I can no longer wear my dresses and swim suits.
Is there anything that I can use?
29th November 2012 06:31 AM #2
The stretch marks may still fade over more time - they can take a number of years to fade.
You could also try rubbing almond oil into them to help soften them.
It is possible to have laser treatment to reduce the stretch marks, but this can be costly.
I like to think of stretch marks as the marks of having a beautiful child - they don't seem so bad after that!
Best wishes,
30th November 2012 09:54 AM #3
They will become much lighter and less noticeable with time. Other than time, I agree with LJ, use a good moisturizing lotion to help improve the appearance. Almond oil and coconut oil are some good, natural options.

I agree. My child is the best blessing I got.
I am just a little worried about my hubby. I know he wants me to still look desirable. I will try using almond oil this time.

Thanks LJ and Angela.

Hi Rhiza,
You can also use a high quality olive oil that is not rancid (I keep my olive oil in the refrigerator).
If you are pregnant now or planning to get pregnant again, use oil on your belly from about 2 or 3 months on, in order to keep stretch marks from occurring. Also, be sure to avoid refined sugar (fruit is okay) during your last trimester so that you don't put a lot of weight on quickly. Baby will also be smaller if you avoid sugar in your last trimester, and you will have less chance of developing gestational diabetes. Avoiding sugar during pregnant is a really good thing.
Warm Regards,

US-wanted Algerian hacker arrested in Thailand
Web reactions to the arrest of an Algerian hacker accused of pirating US bank accounts. NGOs express concern over Syrian refugees facing harsh winter conditions. And net users follow the adventures of a baby panda at San Diego zoo by webcam.
US-wanted Algerian hacker arrested in Thailand
Already nicknamed the 'smiling hacker' and arrested on Sunday in Thailand while transiting through Bangkok airport, Hamza Bendelladj boasted a beaming smile when presented to the press in handcuffs. However, the 24 year-old Algerian faces a heavy sentence. He is set to be extradited to the US, where an arrest warrant has been issued against him. On the FBI wanted list for three years, he is accused of stealing millions of dollars by pirating the accounts of over two hundred US banks. Sums he is thought to have used to finance an extravagant lifestyle, with first class trips and stays in luxury hotels.
In Algeria, while some criticise the young hacker's actions, many net users consider him to be a national hero. For this Twitter user, his cyber-attacks against the finance world, have turned him into a modern-day Robin Hood. Furthermore, several support groups have been set up on Facebook in recent days, calling for his release.
The 'N'tic web' site applauded the genius of this computer engineer, who graduated from an Algerian University, but regrets the fact that he did not use his skills to help his country, as to avoid prison, Hamza Bendelladj may end up working for the US intelligence services.
Concern for Syrian refugees as winter weather deepens misery
Since the start of the Syrian conflict, approximately four hundred thousand people are thought to have left the country in seek of refuge in camps in Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon. Men, women and children are all living in precarious conditions and now face a harsh winter. A particularly worrying situation for many NGOs, who have decided to send out alarm signals online.
This is notably the case for Unicef, who use this web video to present the very difficult living conditions of the seven hundred people living in Lebanon's Dalhamieh camp. The video shows tents constructed with limited means by refugees. Makeshift shelters that do not stave off the wind and rain and offer no protection from the sub-zero temperatures which are typical of this region in winter.
The main victims of such extreme conditions are children, as recalled by the organisation, 'Save the children'. In their video a young female refugee from Syria explains how she suffers daily from the cold weather and lacks suitable winter clothing.
To keep warm, some people light fires among the makeshift dwellings, often with dramatic consequences, as seen in these images. An amateur video illustrating the damage caused to a Jordanian camp after flames spread uncontrollably to neighbouring tents.
The UN-coordinated World Food Programme considers that urgent action is needed and attempts are being made to raise international public awareness. The aim is to encourage people to make donations in order to buy clothes, blankets and food to help refugees withstand the harsh winter conditions.
Live "panda cam" from San Diego zoo
Xiao Liwu was only presented to the public on Thursday but the panda cub has already been a web-star since his birth last July at San Diego zoo in California. A webcam set up in his enclosure allows web users around the world to see him grow day by day alongside his mother. A twenty year old female who is on loan from China in the framework of a research programme aiming to save this endangered species.
Now trending on social networks
Online a debate is underway to solve the problem of the US public debt ceiling with a single coin; it is enough to type in the key-words, 'Mint the coin'. At the centre of the discussions is a platinum coin worth a trillion dollars, which the US Treasury could issue, as they have the power to mint commemorative coins in this metal. The coin would then be credited to the federal government account, offering them immediate additional flexibility, although some warn of a risk of inflation.
Video of the day
US director, Devin Graham, better known on the net by the nickname, 'Devin Supertramp', recently travelled to Hungary to film the members of 'Faceteam', a group of acrobatic basketball players. In this supercharged video, we see the athletes carry out a stunning performance which should be seen without delay on any of the share sites.

The Wellgo WAM-R1 Road Pedals are modeled after the one of the most popular clipless road pedal designs, this look style pedal features a double entry/exit spring retention system for a secure hold and a 16-position retention adjustment. The WAM-R1 Road Pedals feature an all alloy body and CrMo axle that keep it light and durable.
These are the first clip in pedals I have ever purchased and I don't see any reason to upgrade any time soon. I ordered these and had them at my front door in 2 days and on my bike in less than 5 minutes. I've done multiple triathlons this summer and 50 + mile rides and they do everything I need them to do. For the price you can't get any better!
I got these pedals when I first wanted to get in to road biking and didn't want to spend a lot of money up front. These pedals work awesome for new riders. Easy to clip in and out plus they look good. Let's not forget about the price! I got these for $24.98 on sale!
I needed some new pedals on a budget and ended up choosing these. I figured with the proven LOOK style they cant be too bad. Ive been riding them for about 2 years now and they are still holding up strong. As long as you replace the cleats when needed the pedals last. I really like them with the cleats that have some float in them.
Good basic pedals that really can't be beat for the price. Great for entry-level riders.
Good value on an old school LOOK style pedal. Mine came with red and black cleats. That was a bonus since I needed replacement cleats for another bike. The rubber pad on the cleats is adjustable for contact with the pedal. The pedals are adjustable for tension. There doesn't appear to be any finish on the pedals. Just slightly polished Aluminum. Maybe there's a varnish or clearcoat? We'll see if there is any oxidation with exposure to road salt and moisture? If I lived in a highly corrosive coastal environment I would keep them wiped down and maybe paint them for an ounce of prevention.

Talk about having the proverbial football pulled out from under your childhood dreams. CNN reports that Peter Robbins, the actor who as a kid lent his voice to Charlie Brown in the perennial holiday classics A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965) and It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966), has been arrested on 12 felony charges of allegedly stalking his ex-girlfriend. The former child performer, now 56, pleaded not guilty on Jan. 23, but if he's convicted he could face up to nine years in prison. Quite frankly, no one should be surprised by this. Any 11-year-old who's concerned as much about the over-commercialism of American culture as Charlie Brown is bound to have issues as an adult.
The funny thing is, inappropriate behavior associated with kids TV cartoons usually is confined to the cartoons themselves. (I know what you're thinking, and Pee-wee's Playhouse was live action!) The Charlie Brown specials were not only wholesome but outright vanilla compared to these six wildly inappropriate moments in children's TV. Let's hope the voice actors involved, let alone the kids who watched these borderline NSFW clips, have gotten the therapy they need.
6. Rocko's Modern Life: You Milk Cows, Not Bulls
Rocko's bovine pal Heffer already had some major identity confusion. For one, he's a steer who was raised by wolves. For another, his name is a play on "heifer," referring to a female cow, even though he's a male. This fluid concept of Heffer's gender reaches its climax, and quite possibly so does Heffer, when he's hooked up to an electrical milking machine. Again, he is a male cow. So since he doesn't possess an udder, to what exactly was this device hooked up?
5. Batman: The Animated Series: "Rev Up Your Harley"
Being a supervillain is so stressful. There's all that lurking and hiding in secret lairs, all that brainpower devoted to hatching elaborate schemes. You're bound to neglect your girlfriend, as the Joker's moll Harley Quinn discovered. Looking for a little "action," but not of the criminal kind, Harley asks the Joker, "Don't you want to rev up your Harley? Vroom! Vroom!"
4. Bugs Bunny Is In Drag...A Lot
Not that there's anything inherently wrong with dressing in drag, but when you do it as often as Bugs does, and more often than not to inspire bestial lust in the heart of a stuttering, backwoods hunter, there may be cause for concern.
3. Animaniacs: Finger Prints or Finger Prince?
This is either the most subtle double entendre in a kids cartoon ever or the most blatant single entendre. I can't decide which. Watch it a few times and let it sink in. I mean...not in that way...just, whatever.
2. The Magic Schoolbus Kids Learn How Little Salmon Are Made
It's questionable for young kids to be learning about the fertilization of salmon eggs. More questionable for said fertilization to be visualized. But it's downright bonkers to have the kids be miniaturized and trapped inside the eggs over which the male salmon have done their business.

Getting "cut" requires cutting your calories. This can cause your testosterone level to fall and your cortisol level to increase. Both of these hormonal changes can interfere with muscle building and are aggravated by stress or even a few nights of poor-quality sleep. That's why GAT researchers developed Jetfuel T-300. This precision "3-stage" formula contains key actives that help you lose body fat without losing testosterone at the same time.*
Science: When your metabolism runs faster, it burns fat faster. In an IRB-approved, double-blind placebo-controlled clinical study, a botanical extract found in T-300 increased subjects' metabolic rate for up to 3 hours and by up to 12.5%. These figures are comparable to ephedrine.* To build muscle as quickly as possible, you need healthy levels of free ("active") testosterone. T-300 contains a patented, nature-identical compound shown in open-label pilot studies to increase free testosterone levels by an average of 17%.* CFB works quickly, producing measurable increases in total and free testosterone within 3 hours.*

Tips for Healthy Testosterone
1. Get plenty of Vitamin D. Clinical research suggests that healthy testosterone levels are linked to healthy vitamin D levels.
2. Get 7-8 hours of sleep every night. As little as one night of sleep deprivation can reduce your testosterone level and increase cortisol.
3. Eat high-quality protein immediately after your workouts. Research suggests that the milk proteins whey and casein are most effective.
4. Avoid all processed and fast foods.
5. When working out, reduce your rest periods between sets to 30 seconds. This will encourage greater pumps, a sign that you are having an effective muscle-building workout.
6. Perform cardio and weights on separate days.

Dungeon Party
Dungeon Party Overview
Dungeon Party is a humorous, cartoony fantasy MMO with simple gameplay and a focus on team work. While there are only three classes, the sheer level of appearance customization helps add flavor to the game. Dungeon Party does not have a persistant world – instead players join or create games in a lobby and lose their level & skills at the end of each round. The game tracks your wins, losses, and other statistics. Players earn money depending on their performance and can purchase new gear, clothes, and other accessories.
Rogue - A well-balanced class that can fit many situations. The Rogue focuses mainly on speed and cunning, but also possess self-healing and buffing skills. A poor team player, the rogue has no abilities that assist teammates.
Wizard - The premier team player. Wizards have both offensive and supportive spells like heals and buffs. Wizards have the highest damage potential, but have the lowest heath and defense.
Executioner - The brute of the bunch. What the Executioner lacks in brains is made up with brute force. The Executioner has the best defense and melee skills, but relies on other classes for supportive abilities.

Dungeon Party Featured Video
Dungeon Party Review
By Ange Perdu
Dungeon Party is an innovative MMO that focuses more on fun than leveling up. Players enter a 3D-animated world filled with odd characters, imminent danger, and humor around every corner. In Dungeon Party players have their pick of characters and customization. Each user can create multiple heroes and switch them between battles.
The core characters are the Thief, Wizard, and Executioner. Each hero comes with their own school of magic and set of spells that can be performed.
Bi-Polar Treasure and Awesome Gameplay
The gameplay in Dungeon Party is awesome. Each player is part of a team with the sole objective of finding and carrying the hidden treasure chest to the exit point. The team that successfully makes it out the dungeon with the treasure wins. Unfortunately, there are numerous traps, opposing team players, guards, and powerful bosses in the dungeon waiting to attack. The treasure is also an obstacle players must overcome. In this virtual fantasy world, the treasure chest is very emotional. She doesn't go with just anybody.
A team must earn the treasure's love in order to leave the dungeon with it. Killing guards, dungeon bosses, and extending the length of time a designated player carries the chest will increase its love for a specific team. A meter on the screen monitors the amount of love a treasure chest has. When the meter turns completely blue or red it indicates that team color is loved enough to exit the dungeon. Each team is usually made up of five players or more. Teams can have anywhere from two to eight group members, but the opposing team must have the exact same number.
Dungeon Party has a simple interface that lets players easily navigate. Users can click a magnifying glass icon to join a team or select a crown icon to create their own team. The player who starts the team will be given the title as team leader. During gameplay, team members can send instant-messages to each other. The action in Dungeon Party is fast-paced. Teams make a mad dash through the dungeon trying to slaughter as many monsters and opposing team members as possible to guarantee a victory.
Wacky Weapons and the Way of the Sneaky
The weapon selection in Dungeon Party is far from the norm. Like most things in Dungeon Party it's somewhat comical. The illustrious grand Wizard is armed with a trusty rake, marshmallow skewer, and firework stick. The sneaky Thief has a rolling pin, plunger, and hunk of gammon to swing at foes. The bold Executioner has a slender pool cue, dead head, and hammer in his arsenal. All weapons produce similar damage as a sword of sorts. Crates scattered throughout the dungeons can be used as weapons, also. Some crates possess fire, healing, or speed. When they are smashed or thrown, that area and all in it will catch on fire, be healed, or double in speed.
The spells in Dungeon Party are silly and mediocre. They have slightly higher damage rates, but rarely give a player an advantage. The Thief hero uses magic from the way of the sneak. One of his spells lets a player throw a knife in the back of their opponent. It is funny, yet seldom effective. When a player kills a monster experience points are given. There is no experience advancement system for characters in Dungeon Party. The primary focus in this game is fun. However, each level gained earns one magic point which can be exchanged for spells in the shop. Instead of spells or fancy weapons, teamwork, strategy, and speed are the keys to winning in Dungeon Party. The team aspect makes this game fun.
Screams in the Dark, Oh My?!
When nearing the end of a round, a countdown clock will randomly ignite the game into Blackout or Dizzy mode causing sheer chaos. During Blackout mode the entire dungeon will be pitch black, with only a few steps lighted in front of your hero's path. Screams echo from the darkness while players frantically try to maneuver through the dungeon without falling into trap or arms of an enemy. An enormous rolling boulder with scattered skeleton bones zooms through in the darkness, crushing anyone or anything in its way.
In the Dizzy mode the entire screen flips upside down. Players will find themselves actually dizzy during this mode. Controls and directions are jumbled as the right becomes left and vice versa. Picking up crates also becomes a complex task while looking at the screen from a completely upside down viewpoint. The difficult to beat bosses morph into almost impossible to destroy beasts. Fellow dizzy teammates do not provide much assistance when the dungeon itself literally gets tipsy. The randomness and frenzy these two modes create add a rather unique challenge to the overall game play in Dungeon Party.
Not Your Average MMOG
Dungeon Party is not your average MMO game. Accurately titled, this game is all about a good time. Experience and rank are seldom-used words in this virtual world. Dungeon Party combines humor and group teamwork in a fast-paced environment for a fun gaming experience. Odd characters, wacky weapons, horror movie themed bosses, and a high-maintenance chest of treasure form a truly innovative adventure. Over 20 dungeons set in one of three massive environments are available for teams to compete in. A special feature called the Dungeon Party Level Editor allows players to create their own dungeon. The dungeon can be part of the Dracula's Castle, Egyptian Pyramid, or Pirates' Cave environment. Players can invite friends to compete against other users inside their new dungeon for the treasure chest. Giving Dungeon Party users the ability to design their own level adds a bit of excitement and keeps the game from becoming too bland or repetitive.
Final Verdict: Great
Dungeon Party is just that – a party. This game is loads of fun and nice break from traditional MMO games. The 3D graphics, dungeon mazes, challenging combat, and humor embedded into every element makes this game worth playing. Although, it doesn't have a very large playerbase, there is always a group of players ready to party.

Since 1981, the U.S. federal government has operated a price support program to help sugar beet and sugar cane producers and processors. This complex program works through a combination of loans, import quotas, and duties. As a result, sugar prices in the United States are significantly higher than world prices. For example, in December 2001, U.S. consumers paid 22.9 cents per pound, while the world price was just 9 cents per pound. The General Accounting Office estimates that the total cost to consumers is $1.9 billion a year. Uses a simple demand-and-supply framework with real-world data to assess the economic and political consequences of the U.S. sugar program.
learning objective:
To illustrate welfare concepts such as consumer surplus, producer surplus, and dead-weight loss in a concrete, real-world market context.

It occurs to me, just now, that today is SATURDAY! While I was aware that yesterday was Friday, it did not compute that it was blog turn in day. That's the reality of being a student and a mom! I can't believe how time is flying. It seemed too early to be headed back to school in August, really, it wasn't time for summer to be over. Now it's actually Fall and the leaves are starting to change. I hate to say it but before you know it we'll have snow on the ground!
Fall semester is going well. Projects and paper topics have been decided (mostly) and I will need to turn in rough drafts soon. Ugh! I'm having a hard time keeping up on my reading. My Micro instructor says we should be reading ahead of her, so that by lecture time we know what's going on. Right on! In a perfect world I'm sure that would work! :) Unfortunately my world is not perfect. (Is yours?) I try to stick in some reading whenever I can.
You know, between doctor appointments for the kids before class, while waiting when picking up the boys from high school, and worst of all, right before bed when I can't keep my eyes open! Coffee is my friend, and it helps! With four kids coming and going, there is never a dull or quiet moment.
I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling the stress of getting things done, so hang in there, you are not alone! Keep putting one foot in front of the other - we'll all get there and it will be SO worth it!
I'll see you around

I tried this product, and I thought it would have a nice long glide, and didn't think i would have to apply more.. but I did... and it soaks right into the skin fast. So had to reapply more to finish the massage. But the fragrance was very pleasant.
I love this lotion. The glide is great. The scent is not strong but also relaxing. This will be a mainstay in my practice.
Thank you for asking our opinions. I love giving happy news! This is the most fantastic lotion ever. I have not completely figured out if ALL the ingredients are totally awesome and pure yet... I'd love to know more about that. My clients LOVE it as do I. They often want some to use on their skin as their daily salve! I have used it like this often, and on my face, even though I am not sure about ALL the ingredients. Having founded three schools of massage therapy in California and had my own practice in massage, or worked in many environments, I have trained and massaged literally thousands and thousands of people using many brands of oils and this Biotone Cocoa Comfort Lotion, even out of all your own products is my favorite and everyone else I use it on. It warms up easily. It's none greasy. It has staying power. Unless someone is terribly dehydrated it lasts a long time! I wish once in a while you could get a big discount like for every three times you order a gallon, or a little something! And... I think you would do well to give some 4 oz plastic bottles with squeeze top with the gallons as a token for those who place a second order so they could sell it to clients as their personal cream since THEY like it so much and ask me where THEY can get it.... OR for us to give away and or share with other therapist friends.
I hope I get a 5 Star Review for my over-the-top fan review too! LOL Um... do you give discounts if I want to take a bath in it too?
I wanted to try this product as a substitute for the sweet almond oil I use regularly for clients who don't like oil. I find that the workability is not quite what I would like it to be. The Biotone Nutri Naturals cream and lotion have better workability. Just don't like the smell of NN so much.

After reading the TLUSA forums it is a conservative Christian scouting program open to everyone (wink, wink) but will only be charted through conservative Christian churches (those that still ban gay ministers and members). TLUSA leaders must believe in Jesus Christ and the Holy Trinity and be pure (permitted to have sex only if they are married and only with their biological-correct spouse of the opposite sex). They are essentially the boy version of American Heritage Girls and have even partnered up with AHG.

What is the "wink, wink" for? There's nothing nefarious or sneaky about who they are and what they want to do.
Leaders have to be Christian. They define what they mean by Christian. If non-Christian kids want to go along they're welcome but told they will be part of a Christian youth group. How is any of this different from my local Catholic church's youth basketball team?
If that's not your cup of tea then "move on" and don't be a hater about it.
For all the talk of BSA units being Chartered, owned and operated by the church they meet at, It sure gets a big reaction when someone proposes to build a scouting group that is actually an integrated part of the church they meet at.
Yeah DigitalScout (wink, wink)
I just wanted to point out their hypocrisy of trying to come off like "everyone is welcome" because they aren't. It's a farce. The entire top-down leadership is white, evangelical/conservative Christian males. The purpose of their formation was so they can be with their own kind and I'm pretty sure that means no Jews, African-Americans, or immigrants. Here are some photos of their convention. It doesn't look like an "everyone is welcome" type of group. http://snapwidget.com/tags/?id=trail...a#.UjnadWTXg-h
I'd have more respect for them if they just said that "Christian boys and their families are welcome to join." How hard is that?
I sincerely hope they succeed as they seem like a well-intentioned group for conservative, evangelical Christians in the BSA to flock to.

09-18-2013, 01:38 PMEditing a commentUm, those pics show at least one non-white guy. Maybe the only one, who knows. Conservative, evangelical Christians do come in many colors. Not a fan and certainly many are racists, but not all, and I have not heard any of the typical code words yet. I also have to admit non-whites are severely under represented in the Cub and BS programs from what I have seen.
Time will tell, the Tea Party couldn't hide their true colors for long and this group won't either if that is on their agenda.
How one can expect to build good citizens by only associating with those of the same religion in this country is the major flaw as I see it. This is a problem within many BSA units as well.Last edited by King Ding Dong; 09-18-2013, 02:09 PM.
09-18-2013, 01:53 PMEditing a commentYou're right! And he looks extremely glad to meet Mike Huckabee.
I stand corrected - TLUSA is a model of diversity (wink, wink).
09-18-2013, 02:55 PMEditing a commentI don't mean to imply the TLUSA is some white supremacist group or anything like that. But they are creating a monochromatic environment which often breeds contempt for outsiders.
I find it humorous that the folks that were pushing the conservatives out of the organization and now spending their time wringing their hands about the membership requirements of their new organization. You won folks! Congrats! Now, what are you doing for the new BSA? You all are like 60s radicals who spent their time fighting "the man" only to find out that they have become "the man" and don't know what to do anymore. Time to lead folks. Build a new beautiful diverse BSA and draw folks and money back into the fold. That's the promise, right?

09-19-2013, 08:07 AMEditing a commentDC, I still don't understand how the local option was forcing an opinion on morality on another group ? The proposed policy would have left the churches to do exactly what they were doing.
dcsimmons, I really doubt any youth protection policies will change. If you take a look at the Learning for Life YPT, where there are no membership standards, it is the same as Venturing except that some of the terminology has changed. And if you have one boy that you say cannot shower or tent with other boys, that could be considered discrimination and no one wants that label.
KDD, for many folks it is guilt by association. We all belong to the BSA and therefore, by definition, either support or silently tolerate the policies thereof. For many folks that simply not a tenable situation. And the choice of revolution like Moose suggests simply isn't worth the effort. When put into a position to choose between their values and a volunteer organization, the decision to leave is simple. During the debate we were often told about liberal families who refused to put their kids in scouting because of the old policy. There were some on this board who threatened to take their kids out of scouting if the vote went the other way. Same coin, opposite side.
I find this humorous: on the Trail LIfe forum a Mormon asked that the Statement of Faith be modified because Mormons don't believe in the Trinity nor the divinity of Jesus. He was told in no uncertain terms "no", that he was welcome to participate but he couldn't be leader. It appears the sword of exclusion cuts both ways. Actually, I find it ironic, not humorous.
What is worse, explicitly defining what you mean by the term "Christian" or using a wishy washy requirement that you believe in a Supreme Being then making it so weak that the only people that don't make the cut are atheists but not Buddhists?
FYI, Mormons have been considered a non-Christian cult by many non-Mormons for most of their existence. Read this article about how the LDS decided that black people were cursed with dark skin and then were not cursed anymore and you'll get an idea of why other denominations have problems with their theology.
I find it humourous that the silhouette on the patch looks like Iron Mike in front of Bldg 4 at Ft. Benning.
It's a pity that you folks make a bee-line to racism as soon as you hear the word Christian. I guess you all don't get out much.
09-18-2013, 08:29 PMEditing a commentYes it is a pity that happens. Unfortunately one need only look at the most vocal evangelical Christians to see why that happens. My grandfather was a Southern Baptist Missionary over a whole county of churches in Arkansas and I spent many summers down there with those folks. Nice people but racist with a capital R.
Huzzar, I am going to go out on a limb here and guess that the name of your local Catholic youth basketball team is probably either something like St. Mary's (for example) Basketball Team or the CYO (Catholic Youth Organization) Basketball Team, or something else that tells the world, World, we're a Catholic-sponsored basketball team. Which doesn't mean there might not be a Jewish kid or Hindu kid on the team, but if the parents of the Jewish kid want to know why there is a game scheduled on Rosh Hashanah or no game scheduled on Easter, the answer is, look at the name of the team. The local Jewish synagogue may also have a basketball team, maybe its called the Beth Israel youth basketball team, and the parents of the one Catholic kid on the team shouldn't be surprised that maybe there is a game on Easter, and none on Rosh Hashanah. And so on and so forth.
Trail Life can name itself what it wants (within the bounds of intellectual property law, which doesn't appear to be a problem), but it is also legitimate to point out that nothing in the group's name suggests that adults need to sign on to a Trinitarian Christian statement of faith in order to be leaders. It also is legitimate to point out that the "open to all youth" is slightly disingenuous when the leaders have to conform to certain religious principles -- but hey, if they are a little disingenuous, maybe a little tricky or clever in their wording, well, they have a good role model (heh heh) in the current leadership of the BSA. In some ways they are being MORE honest than the BSA. As I have said a number of times over the years, while the BSA claims to be "absolutely nonsectarian", the fact is that the religions (or parts of religions) that have as part of their religious principles that gay people should NOT be excluded, are treated like "second-class" religions. (Examples would be Reform Judaism, United Church of Christ, many Episcopalian churches, some Methodist, some Presbyterian, etc.) The BSA will take your money, enroll you and your children as members, but when it comes to your unit's freedom to make decisions about who should be a leader, the BSA dictates that you obey the values-system of some OTHER religion, which on that issue are contrary to the beliefs of your own religion. This isn't advertised anywhere, it's just pointed out by troublemakers like me. (And yes, I continue to be a BSA leader, because I think the good still far outweighs the bad, and things will change someday.) And then some religions are really treated more like "third-class" religions, for example Wicca and UUA (at least in the past, not sure about currently.) At least Trail Life is a little more up front about it.
So, nobody's perfect. I wish Trail Life success within the sphere of what they are trying to be, and I hope the BSA will someday soon fully live up to the ideals that it represents. (And if that isn't clear enough for everybody, I think that means rescinding the ban on openly gay leaders.)
One thing I do have to say, in agreement with Eagledad and some others who have posted today -- there is NO evidence that Trail Life intends to discriminate on the basis of race. Let's not make those kinds of accusations based on a few photos of who was able to attend a particular event. If they do struggle to remain "demographically representative", well again, they do have a "role model" in the BSA.Last edited by NJCubScouter; 09-18-2013, 04:40 PM.

This is verbatim from the flyer they've produced to hand out to prospective members and parents. Show me where they are being disingenuous. How could you not figure out they're a Christian youth group?
All boys are welcome irrespective of religion, race, national origin or socio-economic status. However, all adult leaders must sign a Christian statement of faith. All program elements are taught from a Christian worldview, with God's truth woven into the very fabric of the program.
Nobody said that Trail Life is a racist group. They seem like a live-and-let live organization and want to do their own thing which is all well and good. I was merely pointing out that they have set up a qualification system to guarantee a very homogeneous group. An outsider may not feel very welcome. And I think that is the intention.
It's kinda too bad that groups can no longer gather on similarities. Everything has to be diverse. While we promote this in certain aspects of life, we violently object to it in others. I want to join a group that basically doesn't want me around??? Why would I ever consider doing that???? Now to me the only rationale for such activity is to dictate to that group one's own beliefs. I'm going to join a Christian group to make it something other than Christian? Yep, we call that DIVERSITY. I'm going to join any group and going to make it Christian? And then the fight begins....! Yep, we call that TERRORIST, HATE MONGERS.
I know such groups out there such as the NCCAP and KKK that promote certain principles, neither of which I am interested in being involved with. I have no desire to join either group, nor am I interested in disrupting their organizations by making them diverse. First of all I highly doubt whether it would do any good.
On the other hand I don't what what they are promoting to dictate to me. I leave them alone, they leave me alone. That seems fair to me. Basically I don't personally like to be associated with anything racist, one way or the other, for or against. Why? Because the first thing I must do is judge people based on race to know who's my friend and who isn't.
With all the fur flying, it's pretty hard to tell one hypocrite from another out there these days.
09-19-2013, 01:01 PMEditing a commentFighting racism is everyone's moral responsibility. Maybe you don't want to get involved or feel it's not your fight. But your silence is what racists count on to flourish. Racism is everyone's problem. If you don't speak up against it, then your silence condones it.
Merlyn_LeRoy commented09-19-2013, 01:36 PMEditing a commentYou need to consider race when it's a motive to a crime, or you're simply ignoring the motive for the crime.

The Profiling stop by LEO
To an extent I agree with you jblake.. But, I think with BSA, it was that the group formed, then over the years the people in the group grew apart in beliefs on which path to take, so the division occured. Kindof a wake up call to Liberal when in the 1990's the conservatives created rules the liberals did not care for and started kicking people who were once welcomed out of BSA.. Then for 10 years we have been fighting with each other.. Got louder over the years as more people took on the liberal point of view and conservatives started to loose the battle.. Same battle is being waged in Churches now.. When the Conservatives have the upper hand, the Liberals just continue to fight for change.. When the liberals win the battle, the conservatives pick up their marbles and leave to create their newly formed Conservative church.. I don't see this changing..
It might take another 50 to 100 years, but this new TL organization (if it survives that long) will also start having members grow and have changing attitudes and will want those reflected in TL program, and thus the battle in TL will start up. It is the cycle of life and a long living organization takes on a life of it's own, it either evolves with time or becomes extinct.
As long as people think in terms of us and them, it will continue just as it has since day one.... That what was surprising with the Founding Father's documents. Freedom for all is a concept that simply cannot be accepted by the us/them people. Letting people live in a way they wish basically usurps their power base, something they cannot tolerate.
Moose, A lot of folks call that standing on principle. Stay and fight for yours, that is your right. But do not deny folks who disagree the right to follow theirs. Regardless, the debate is over and nobody here has answered my question. Why do any of us care about what TLUSA is doing? They made their decision and left, which is what they said they would do. Why are scouters in the BSA taking pot shots at them and their organization?
Because all of a sudden there's a cause to point out that there are the real people over here and the not real people over there.
Some people just aren't happy unless they are complaining about something.
If these people want to do something else, what business is it of mine? None whatsoever!
MYOB used to mean something in a free society. It only goes to show how much freedom we've lost over the past 200+ years.
09-19-2013, 01:58 PMEditing a commentI don't think anyone really cares what the TLUSA does; it's probably just fascination and something to debate for fun.
Stosh - the liberties of one person often infringes on the liberties of another and that's where the conflict arises. I think people should be free to smoke. But I don't want to breathe their cancer-causing exhaust because that infringes on my rights. So who's liberty prevails?
Conservatives talk big about freedom and liberty but they are right there getting into other peoples' business when two gay people want to marry or when someone needs marijuana for medical treatment or when a terminally ill person wants a dignified exit from this life or a woman wants to terminal a pregnancy.
There have been some comments in this thread on the idea that the YP guidelines may be modified as a result of the change being made to the youth membership policy. It appears that the guidelines will not be modified. There is a document on the BSA web site (dated August 2013) that contains guidance for units on implementing the policy change. (I am not sure what the BSA has done to make sure people are aware of this information, other than putting it on their own web site. I have not seen any discussion of it in this forum.) I tried to cut and paste parts of this document but it is formatted in a way that makes that very difficult - for me, at least. Maybe someone else can figure it out.
Suffice it to say that this document contains some statements that are going to be viewed differently by different people in this forum. On the "tenting" issue, for example, it basically says that the local units can figure out the tenting arrangements for themselves, which is what I have been saying for years. The whole theme of the document is that very little will change. There is a question in the "FAQ" about to do if a Scout tells you he is attracted to persons of his own gender, and I am pleased to see that the answer makes fairly clear that such a statement does NOT amount to "flaunting" of a Scout's orientation. In other words, a Scout can be openly gay as long as all that's involved is talking. That is my interpretation, anyway.
A discussion of this document probably should be in its own thread, but here is the document: http://www.scouting.org/filestore/tr...tation_FAQ.pdf
