Reihan's piece is a disturbing document, one which shows that even the smartest among us can fall prey to cognitive dissonance. Reihan's justification for supporting McCain, I say without malice, is an endorsement of falling 100% into the hands of fantasy. It is an explicit rejection of empiricism as a method to determine political contests.
Reihan's argument, such as it is, is that we have not just gone through 20 months of campaigning by John McCain. No, we've been laboring under the misconception that the man who appears before us is the real McCain; that crass politician who has stoked the flames of cultural hatred and partisan divide is a construct designed, somehow, merely to win an election, and then be discarded once he ceases to be of use-- never mind the utter failure of that construct to actually build any lead in the polls. Reihan avers "We haven't seen the real McCain in this campaign." Let me be plain: that is a nonfalsifiable, evidence-resistant assertion that can only be supported by faith.
Even if it were possible for a candidate to hide his true self for the entire years-long grind of a Presidential campaign-- if it were possible that we haven't, actually, seen the real McCain, that the man on stage telling you he is the man he claims to be is in fact a Manchurian candidate who hides decency and level-headedness-- even in that case, I cannot imagine a worse framework in which to evaluate a political contest. Consider what this notion asks of us, as a democratic polity. Beneath every candidate's public persona, apparently, their rests a true self, which we are forced to divine. Voters could not rely on evaluation of the various candidates' stated positions, but would instead have to divine the secret meanings within. Even those who support Reihan's candidate would have a hard time endorsing this framework.
One of the dominant memes of the campaign, of course, has been to say that Obama's supporters are cheering for a cypher. We who are voting for Obama, the idea goes, are really just projecting onto him all of our hopes, and are able to do so because of his supposed emptiness and lack of substance. I find this notion strange, given Obama's very clear and readily-available policy proposals. But fair enough, it would indeed be a mistake to project onto any candidate the virtues one would most like to see. Surely, though, it is more logical to project those virtues onto a supposedly blank canvas, than to ascribed positive aspects to a candidate in the face of what that man and his campaign has been saying and doing. Again, the notion of who, precisely, is being naive is troubled. If an Obama supporter insisted that there was a "real Obama" beneath the public persona, god, the howls that would emerge from the Republican commentariat. It's exactly the attitude that's been so mocked by the Clintons and McCain.
The campaign's rhetoric, the stump speeches, the written platforms, the website, what was said at the debates, everything John McCain has said he is about and believes in-- none of this is his true self, I guess I'm meant to believe. We know this, because Rehain swears "we haven't seen the real John McCain in this campaign." No, inside, there is a different man entirely, a different man from the one who sneers out claims about terrorist sympathizing, and socialism, and an opponent who is supposedly an unknown and unvetted bogeyman. He isn't, Reihan would have us believe, the man he, his campaign, and their surrogates tell us he is.
Where have I heard this sort of notion before? Why, of course, it's the right's entire critique of Barack Obama. At the end of the day, when so many other narratives had failed to work, the McCain/Palin campaign decided that their only road to defeating Obama was to insist to the American people that they didn't know the real Obama. No, Obama the technocrat, Obama the moderate Dem, Obama the loving and mainstream family man-- that was a costume, a media-approved shell. Lurking underneath, we were told, and are told, is a radical socialist with disturbing ties, who would probably take your money and give it away to the poor, and probably secretly hates Israel, too. This is the Obama campaign's true crime, presenting one face to the public, while hiding another inside.
How quickly vice changes to virtue when partisan and ideological identification are switched. Where Barack Obama's supposed two-facedness is a part of the danger surrounding him, and the duplicity with which he is attempting to gain office, McCain's two selves are instead a sign of his integrity. Deep inside, Reihan sees the candidate he fell in love with long ago. Apparently, it's permissible for candidates to misrepresent who they really are, and what they really stand for, when the stakes are this high, and you're on the right side of the aisle.
Even if were true that, at one point, John McCain was the principled, bipartisan maverick the press so lovingly stylized him to be, this notion that the American electorate should suspend their affection for making decisions based on real-world evidence would be outrageous folly. But it isn't even true that McCain ever was the character he and the press made him out to be. (McCain and the press have since fallen out of love with each other, of course, as the press has had the audacity to accurately report that McCain was losing the election.) Matt Welch (fixed) documented the myth of McCain meticulously in his book, but that kind of reportage has been done in many different places. McCain appears to have always been a fairly conventional Republican, one who took part in precisely the kind of partisanship anyone must if they want to survive over 20 years in the Senate.
Reihan goes on to assert that
During Bush's first term in office, McCain served as a kind of leader of the opposition. Because the Democrats were so weak and divided, McCain became a rallying point for conservatives and liberals who opposed Bush on issues ranging from taxes and spending to the conduct of the war on terrorism.I'm sorry, but this is simply untrue. It's just not so. The fact that McCain voted 95% of the time in line with the Bush administrations wishes has become an Obama campaign talking point, so anyone can be forgiven for tuning it out. But it's not just a talking point, it's also true. It is an empirical fact that can be verified by studying McCain's voting record, as he himself knew when he bragged about his nearly unquestioning fidelity to the Bush administration's legislative agenda.
Reihan says "Now, in the last days of the campaign, he must find his voice, and make it clear that he's not in the race out of personal ambition - indeed, he would be well advised to make a one-term pledge." How does Reihan now that McCain isn't motivated by personal ambition? What possible politician could not be motivated by personal ambition? I'd love to hear some evidence that this is the case. As it stands, I find a lack of personal ambition neither a virtue for a presidential candidate, nor the sort of thing that can be known with enough certainty by anyone but the candidate himself to be of any use for a discriminating voter.
Reihan says in closing "Rather than win the election for a party or faction, he must promise to work with all parties and all talents to build a safer, more prosperous world." Again-- this is precisely the kind of post-partisan vision that has been endlessly mocked and derided when found in Obama supporters. And it is again a time when I shake my head in wonder. Where is Reihan deriving the notion that this candidate and his apparatus are in a position to bring this new ecumenicalism? This candidate, with this running mate, is someone interested in, or capable of, uniting the country? The one whose campaign has dedicated every available resource to rhetorically dividing the country into the pure and impure sections? This candidate, whose rallies without exception involve incitement against some supposedly malign segment of the American people? This candidate, who literally said there is a real Virginia, and a fake Virginia? It's incredible. Sarah Palin, the second-in-command of a great uniter?
The truth of the matter is, there is one candidate who has operated in this campaign with more decency and respect for his opponent than the other, and his name is Barack Obama.This is a candidate who has endured explicitly personal attacks, attacks on his integrity, patriotism and character, for the entire campaign, and yet has responded with arguments about policy. At times these are tough, negative arguments about policy, and even at times unfair ones, but they are about policy, not character. This is a man who has never even hinted at an attack on the patriotism of his opponent. This is a man who speaks with equanimity, who actually speaks about real post-partisanship, rather than making partisanship and cultural war his brand. That may be political pablum; but it's a far sight from "real American, fake America." This is a candidate who actually has some positive ads running. This is a man who, in a 30 minute campaign ad that ran this past week, never once mentioned his opponent. It's also a man who, at a campaign rally the other day in Florida, upon hearing his opponent's name booed, stopped the crowd and said "You don't have to boo, you just have to vote." That's precisely the kind of integrity that the myth of John McCain has insisted he operates under. I await the time when McCain interrupts Sarah Palin to stop the boos that she is inciting against Obama.
We are in a part of the calendar when people are fond of saying "your side does it too." Well, both sides do most things that the other side does. But it simply is not true that the Democrats or the Obama campaign has engaged in the same kind of cultural war that the Republicans and McCain have. That is just not true. I find few people with the gall to suggest it is. So I read with great confusion when Reihan insists that it is John McCain who can heal this gulf.
I am a partisan, and an idealogue. I am not a big fan of times when others suggest that they are not. Reihan, to his credit, is open about his ideological and partisan affinities. But this has been a rough campaign for Reihan, or so it seems to me. He often appears to be frustrated by his interlocutors' inability to see what he sees in John McCain. He really wants people, I think, to believe in the John McCain he believes in.
Well, with the proviso that I am in the tank for Obama, and a partisan Democrat, and a liberal: John McCain is not the man Reihan Salam thinks he is. He has never been that man. The question before us is this: do we follow in Reihan's footsteps and give ourselves over entirely to irrationality and quasi-religious faith in the supposedly self-evident goodness of John McCain? Or do we make our political decisions on the basis of empiricism and rationality, and derive evidence from the world around us? If that weighing of the political realities of McCain and Obama leads you to vote for McCain, then I understand. But I can't understand the abandonment of adult discrimination in favor of the hope that someone represents something other than what he says. Could it really, possibly be the case that the last 20 months of campaigning has all been a show? If someone can give me some precedent for that notion, if real world evidence could be provided to support it, I might be able to open my mind to the possibility that there is another McCain hidden beneath the surface. Absent of some evidence beyond assertion, I have to engage in the democratic process the way it was intended, and judge John McCain by his record, and his rhetoric, and his campaign, insted of trying to see the great man that his campaign is for some reason desperately attempting to hide.

AMARILLO, Texas -- A federal judge in Texas says a JetBlue Airways pilot who disrupted a flight by running through the plane and yelling about terrorists can go free.
The ruling Friday in Amarillo comes months after Clayton Osbon was found not guilty by reason of insanity for his behavior on a March 27 flight from New York to Las Vegas. Osbon had been charged with interference with a flight crew.
A neuropsychologist testified at the bench trial in July that Osbon had a "brief psychotic disorder" brought on by lack of sleep. In August Osbon had another psychotic episode while in prison for a mental evaluation, which was ordered by U.S. District Judge Mary Lou Robinson.
Robinson extended the evaluation before issuing her latest ruling.

A message left from a member in our recent survey....
"One day last year, abortion had come up that day, triggering all those memories once again. I, for some reason, went on the computer, typed in abortion help, and I clicked on Safe Haven. At the time I wasn't sure exactly what I was looking for, and ended up finding more help than I ever, ever expected to receive."

Due to the huge demand of women who ask us for advice regarding health and weight loss, we have decided to publish a series of articles on the subject, though worthy of special mention is Putnam Virtual Hospital who granted to publish these information here. We hope you find the following information useful.
What are the best strategies on how to lose weight quick? There are no short-cuts, but it is completely possible for anyone to achieve those "runway" legs that they have been dreaming of. You can have them, too.
Remember, you only achieve excellence by doing good things habitually. Do them consistently.
You'd realize one day that getting your body into shape and maintaining for them that perfect shape is possible.
There are exercises designed just for the legs. You can try doing plies, walking lunges and calf raises. Sign up for a gym membership and then register in special classes that teach members on how to tone muscles.
Zumba, cycling and step classes are some of the most beneficial for the legs.
Do a little bit of resistance training. Even women are advised to build muscle. Higher muscle mass translates to faster burning of fat because muscles help in fat-burning even if the person is resting. Do strength training, but focus on resistance training as well.
By the way, the best program we have found to reduce cellulite and body fat in your legs, thighs and in your whole body has been the Naked Beauty Program. If you do not know what these techniques are all about, you can head over to this site that contains one of the best venus factor system reviews that we have read so far.
Reduce Your Stress Level
It may surprise you, but one of the secrets on how to lose leg fat is to keep away from stress causing people and situations. Stress triggers the release of cortisol, a hormone that boosts appetite and facilitates storing of fat.
Symptoms of stress are oversleeping, chronic fatigue and restlessness. If you are showing any of these symptoms, stress is probably the main reason why you are having weight problems. Fight it by doing the following:
Reduce Your Calorie Intake
Another, effective method on how to lose leg fat is to reduce the amount of calories you consume. Gradually reduce your caloric intake up to a point when your body can survive a day without the usual daily amount of supply.
Some people skip or eat small meals during the morning and drink water instead – and it is working for them. They get their first meal during lunch.
Try doing the same for one or two days. On the third day, you might not crave for a breakfast meal anymore.
In the long run, you may be able to survive eating meals that are smaller than the usual. This is in addition to not having any solid food at all during breakfast.
Controlling the amount of caloric intake may also help you in choosing the right things to eat. Since the incidence of feeling hungry will be less than the usual, you will be picky in choosing the food items that will be thrown into the grocery cart. You will be in control.
Consequently, you will pick more fruits and vegetables and be more conscious about product labels.
Walk Everywhere
is one of the secrets on how to shed weight fast is to forgo the use of your car as much as you can and just walk wherever you need to go.
Even if you are in a hurry for some office meetings, walk. Health experts are saying that a one-minute walk is still a one-minute walk. If there are no sidewalks in your neighborhood, do these alternative strategies:
Customize Your Own Strategies
What you have read here is just a general guide. You have to be inventive. You have to create your own strategies because you are different from the person next to you. You alone know the kind of fixing your legs exactly need, so come up with your own unique strategies on diet plans for women.

Hoak Hammered Homer Against Fredonia
- Release Date:
- April 30, 2013
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
HAMBURG, NY – The Hilbert College baseball team hosted their last double header of the 2013 season on April 30 and they suffered two losses to Fredonia State (18-14) 17-3 and 8-4.
The opening game was a close affair with Hilbert holding a 3-1 lead in the bottom of the 3rd inning after Chris Hoak whacked a 3 run-home run. Fredonia responded with just one run in the top of the fourth, before they exploded with 15 runs the last three innings.
A similar result was brewing in the second game with Fredonia holding a 3-1 lead after the 3rd inning. But in the top half of the 5th, the Blue Devils hit seven singles which resulted in five runs creating a large enough spread to hold on for the victory.
Hoak finished with three hits including one home run as he knocked in 4 runs on the day. Paul Wujek went 5 for 7 (.714) to lead the Hawks at the plate.
Tony Marra carried the Hawks through 4.2 innings striking out four while giving up eight hits in the first game. Garrett Pauly went the distance in the night game giving up 14 hits with 50% of those occurring in the fifth inning alone.
Hilbert (3-29) finishes their 2013 season with a road non-conference game at Keuka College May 2.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

Sarah Schindele of the Choctawhatchee Basin Alliance said she is not surprised by the inconsistent water quality reports.
"Those tests are a picture of just a little bit of water and that little bit is always moving," she said. " When we have a lot of rain, it's draining the land and flushing it all into the water. The bacteria might be detecting waste from a nearby park. Not that the tests aren't helpful. If you consistently see that one area is always 'poor', then that might be a problem."
Since the mid-1990s the CBA has conducted its own water quality tests monthly. The tests are completely separate from the health department's and do not include bacteria checks — which the non-profit does not have the funds for, said Schindele.

"We support CBA by monitoring county rules, policy and development guidelines," he said. "We then make recommendations to the county and encourage them to adopt rules for developments that will support good water quality and responsible development."
"Some things we recommend are limiting fertilizer use, using natural vegetation in your landscaping, which also supports wildlife and needs less fertilizer," Schindele. "If you live on the water, leave a buffer of natural vegetation. Don't clear everything. Those plants do a good job of filtering water."

One of the poorly-defined destinations many people have is "a cave", probably in "the mountains". Caves are pretty darned rare in most places, though.
I just realized that I know of a beautiful SHTF cave, though. At three hours away down rural mountain roads it's likely too far to be of any personal use, and I'm sure the locals have already made plans to use it should the need occur.
Blanchard Springs Caverns in the Ozark Mountains. It has only two points of access - an electric elevator and an airlock. It's wired for lighting, has plenty of fresh water, and the ecosystem seems able to keep the air fresh despite the continual flow of tour groups. There's a lake within walking distance, and the whole area is heavily wooded.
In fact, we've visited other public caves in the same general area; the Ozarks are riddled with them, though only a dozen or two are developed for tourism. For every one that is, there are probably a lot more that aren't suitable for development... if you know where they are.
Down here in the flatlands I can (and have) hit the water table with a shovel, and any cave-like formations would be full of water.
Of course, the primary problem with a cave as a bug-out location is "the people who got there first."

The public meltdown of the National Rifle Association in the aftermath of the heinous massacre of schoolchildren in Connecticut has spurred activists, commentators and political organizers to action and outrage. From across the political spectrum, the reaction to NRA executive vice president Wayne LaPierre's angry call for more guns in schools – indeed, guns as the solution to many of society's problems – has been shock and denunciation, especially given the NRA's seeming lack of sensitivity following the murder of 20 first-graders with a semiautomatic AR-15 Bushmaster weapon. But there's one response lacking, and one that I'm certain a really smart social entrepreneur could provide.
For decades, the NRA has maintained near monopoly status as the nation's premiere gun safety organization – even after its controversial entry into publicly lobbying against gun control legislation in the 1970s, it still maintained training relationships with police departments and youth groups, including the Boy Scouts of America. Millions of Scouts have received NRA junior marksman cards (I'm one), and millions of Americans have learned to safely use firearms thanks to NRA-certified instructors. Indeed, the Scouts and the NRA celebrated a century of gun safety training in 2010 – even as the NRA continued its opposition to tougher gun laws aimed at keeping public spaces safer.
In terms of gun safety and shooting training, the NRA is pretty much the only game in town. And in many respects, it does a good job in mandating the kinds of national standards for safety that it ironically opposes on the legislative front. But its reaction to the Newtown murders and the groundswell of public opinion toward stronger gun legislation and firearms safety has introduced one factor into a formerly frozen market for those services – and its the kind of factor that usually awakens the entrepreneurial spirit in American markets:
When a brand is as publicly damaged as the NRA's currently is, it's open to challenge – and improvement. Peeling away the gun safety portion of what the NRA does and making a persuasive case for a more mainstream and ethical approach to firearms training seems like a real opportunity for a team of social entrepreneurs. For one thing, the market is huge. Forty-seven percent of American adults currently report that they have a gun in their home or elsewhere on their property, reported a Gallup survey last year. Further, the NRA itself brags about its "network of more than 65,000 instructors, more than 3,800 coaches, and more than 1,700 training counselors." Surely, many of them might be ready for a change, especially after Newtown. And then there's the NRA membership: more than four million dues-paying members, some percentage of whom would almost certainly be open to a better deal with a new organization that didn't come with the NRA's growing air of disrepute. All of this adds up to another factor that attracts social entrepreneurs:
That's because social entrepreneurs aren't interested in a single bottom line. There's a financial opportunity here, to be sure. A major dues-supported and fee-for-service organization is clearly possible. But the opportunity to challenge the NRA's hegemony may carry greater societal impact. The NRA has clearly been insulated by the portion of unadulterated good it does: few would argue that training Americans to use guns safely in a society that prizes its constitutional right to carry firearms for legitimate purposes (including sport and hunting) is vitally important work.
But how many organizations feel less comfortable partnering with an organization that opposes a ban of assault weapons, an organization whose leadership responded callously to the mass murder of schoolchildren in their classroom? Do police departments feel good about this partnership? Does the Boy Scouts of America and its network of local councils? Which brings us to a final factor that should attract the attention of ambitious social entrepreneurs looking to make a different after Newtown:
Let's ask a "what if" question. What if there were a very prominent billionaire who opposed the NRA's actions in public policy? What if that billionaire – a man with a strong history of informed philanthropic investment – declared his intention to change the landscape on gun safety and firearms policy? What if that billionaire also happened to be the boss of the nation's largest police force, a law enforcement organization that necessarily partners with the NRA for safety certification? Oh, and what if that billionaire was himself a wildly successful entrepreneur who knew first-hand the power of market economics on social change?

The Logan Drug Court program is not an easy one, noted Mike Lacy, Director of Probation Services for the WV Supreme Court during Friday's Logan Juvenile Drug Court Graduation.
Lacy, who has very strong ties to Logan and Boone Counties knows what he is talking about. He helped put together the Day Report and Drug Court programs that have successfully helped many addicts get clean and sober and build new lives for themselves through a combination of counseling, drug screening, education, training and community service.
Lacy said it was a pleasure for him when he got to enjoy attending a graduation ceremony from the drug court programs across the Mountain State. Lacy had some words of encouragement for the trio of graduates on May 3 as well. He noted that even though there were many important leaders and officials in the room from Logan to Washington that on that particular day the most important people in the room were the two young men and one young lady who had successfully completed the program.
"I have a lot of respect for you because I know it is a tough program- it was designed to be difficult," he said. "I helped write the requirements for the programs and there is nothing easy about them."
Lacy said that it was much easier to use the old standby ways of dealing with drug addiction - jail time and traditional rehab. Unfortunately, he noted, many people leave jail or hospitals and return immediately to their old habits- including drug habits, because they did not adress the problems and challenges in their lives that lead them to abuse controlled substances. The core of drug court is a combination of regular drug screenings, counseling, education, community service and family support. "They work because of your hard work," he told the graduates and the staff of the Logan Drug Court and Day Report programs.
Lacy said studies have shown that the way drug court programs approach the problems of addiction are working and he had the statistics to back that claim up as well. Lacy noted that in 2011 there were 3.1 million Americans who tried drugs for the first time.
"That is almost twice the population of West Virginia," he said, adding that in the past two years, the recidivism rate was only 9.4 percent for adult drug court graduates. "I challenge anybody to look at the statistics and compare them to other programs."
Lacy said the work of the Logan Drug Court, Juvenile Drug Court and Day Report Center would go on "because our friends and neighbors need help."
Judge Eric O'Briant introduced the trio of graduates to the people assembled at the new Logan County Commission headquarters for the graduation ceremony, and noted that the length of time a grad spent in the program did not tell the whole story. To graduate a client has to meet certain goals, both in terms of sober living and in education.
"And we have a lot of activities geared towards the school year," he said, noting "all of our graduates have achieved their educational goals as well as their other goals."
The first graduate was a young man who came into the program on July 5, of 2011 and had made great successes in achievements. The young man thanked the judge as well as the probation teams, treatment teams and former and current Juvenile Drug Court Coordinators Tiffany Robinson and Ashlee Collier.
"This program really helped me a lot," he said. "I remember how it was before. I was making "F"s" in school and not doing much of anything. But this program helped me. I got my grades up. I got involved in school activities and I got involved in sports as well. I want to thank all of you for what you did for me."
The second young man also thanked the treatment team and Juvenile Drug Court staff for helping him to make great strides in improvement.
"You helped me change my life," he said.
Judge O'Briant noted that both men had not only completed the stringent requirements of the program, but added neither of them ever had tested positive on a drug screen once coming into the Logan Juvenile Drug Court program. O'Briant said the third graduate a female had tested clean on her drug screens for over a year.
"I want to thank everybody, you really helped me out a lot," she said.
O'Briant urged the teens to show their appreciation by "paying it forward" and challenged them to continue in moving forward in a successful and sober life.
"Do not stop today- share what you have learned," the Judge said.

February 1st our Bearcats traveled to Atoka to take on the Atoka Wampuscats, who we had already taken on and beat at home so they were looking for a bit of redemption on their home court. In the beginning it seemed Atoka was up to the challenge ending the first period four points ahead with a score of 11-15 Atoka. Sr. Guard Harlan House was the leader in stats for this game with 14 points, 4 rebounds, 3steals and 2 assists in the first half alone.
In the second period our Bearcats were able to step it up with Sr. Forward Bryce Martin scoring 8 points for the half and Sr. Guard Caleb Smith with 5, ending the first half in the lead with a score of 32-35 Antlers. In the second half our Bearcats were able to maintain a small lead over Atoka with Sr. Guard Caleb Smith having his biggest game of the season so far with 11 points, 2 rebounds and 1 steal for the second half, ending the 3rd period with a comfortable 10 point lead 43-53 Antlers.
The fourth period was touch and go with Atoka fighting for a home court win. Sr. Forward Arizona Taylor also having a big night with 6 points, 4 rebounds and 1 steal, helping secure a Bearcat win with a final score of 62-68 Antlers!
Game Stats: Sr. Harlan House 18p, 6r, 4s, 3a; Sr. Caleb Smith 16p, 7r, 2s, 4a; Sr. Bryce Martin 16p, 7r, 4s, 1a; Sr. Arizona Taylor 10p, 7r, 1s, 0a; and Jr. Tanner Brown 8p, 6r, 0a, 2a
February 5th was the first of our last three games of the regular season play, this one against the Colbert Leopards. From the first few minutes of this game it was easy to tell this one would be an easy run away victory for our Bearcats.
Sr. Forward Bryce Martin was the leader of the first half stats with 14 points, 5 rebounds, 2 steals, and 1 assist, with Sr. Guard Harlan House right behind him with 11 points, and the first half ended with a score of 37-15 Antlers.
The second half was more of the same as the Leopard's were just no match for our Bearcats. Sr. Guard Harlan House was able to put up 9 points for this half, and Sr. Guard Caleb Smith was able to contribute 7, with and end score for the game of 68-44.
Game Stats: Sr. Harlan House 20p, 4r, 2s, 2a; Sr. Bryce Martin 17p, 7r, 2s, 2a; Jr. Tanner Brown 10p, 9r, 2s, 6a; Sr. Caleb Smith 9p 3r, 0s, 2a; Sr. Chandon Draper 6p, 3r, 1s, 1a; Sr. Arizona Taylor 2p, 3r, 0s, 0a; Jr. Drew McKnight 2p, 5r, 0s, 0a; and Sr. Trevor Battice 2p, 2r, 0s, 0a.

Wind: 0 mph
To The Editor:
The other day our beloved cat was killed by a speeding car through the village of Moretown. Two days later our neighbor's cat was seriously injured and rushed to the animal hospital.
The speed limit through the village is 30 mph. The other day my husband witnessed a car pass another car right in front of our house! Speeding traffic is an issue the villagers have been battling for years.
Back in 1840, when our houses were new, the road was a buggy path and probably not a big concern. Now most of the homes on Main Street sit about 20 feet off the road with cars passing at 50-plus mph. Speeding not only puts our children at risk, it kills our animals and creates excessive dust and noise.
I made some signs reminding people to slow down and put them out at around 3:30 p.m. on Friday, June 29, and by 10:30 p.m. three had been stolen. I thwarted the efforts on the fourth sign by yelling at the thieves. I will make more signs and continue the fight because it is a matter of quality of life. One sign was taken right off our lawn. It was very disturbing when we heard a car door slam and tires speeding away at 10:30 p.m.
Please see the attached picture of what the signs look like and feel free to call us at 496-4575 or my cell number is 233-8712.
Thank you.
Rebecca Sykes and Gary Butler

Disservice with a smileWritten by Michael Miller | Editor in Chief Emeritus | email@example.com
Customer service is a fascinating topic. Given the wide range of human emotion, intelligence and civility, there is no single approach to customer service that is going to be successful 100 percent of the time.
The Golden Rule ("Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," for those unfamiliar with that timeless advice) should be foolproof, except for the fact that there are so many fools aggressively seeking to prove it isn't.
Many of my jobs throughout the years have depended on customer service skills, which is the primary reason my current employment revolves around many hours spent alone with a computer. When it comes to dealing with hostility, stupidity and the deadly cross section of the two where so many people dwell, my people skills fall somewhere between wolverine and mockingbird.
For example, when I open the rare email from someone seeking to stop their newspaper delivery, there are generally two paths. The first path is an email that reads, "Thank you for delivering Toledo Free Press each week, but for Reason X, could you please take me off your distribution list?" Even though I have no hand in delivery, I try to personally respond to such emails and quickly guide the customer through the process. The second path is an email that reads, "STOP LITTERING MY DRIVEWAY, YOU SUCK AND I'M CALLING THE POLICE!!! $@#@^&#%." I pass those emails to Circulation without comment, then carefully record the email address of the sender in my copy of the Necronomicon.
I experienced an interesting customer service interaction June 2 at the Busch's grocery store in Saline. It was a quick stop to get Sunday breakfast. My wife and I had a rare at-home night without our little boys, so on impulse, I stopped by the adult beverage case and picked up one of her favorites, Mike's Hard Lemonade, black cherry flavor.
At the register, the clerk rang up the few items from my cart, and the woman who was bagging groceries asked, "Paper or plastic?" to which I replied, "Plastic, thanks."
"Would you like your milk in a bag?" she asked.
"Please," I said.
"Would you like your girlie drinks in a bag?" she asked.
I stopped in mid-credit card swipe, looked at the clerk, whose eyes had gone wide, and said/laughed/choked, "Wow."
The clerk said something I didn't quite catch and the bagger replied with something along the line of "Well, it's a fruity drink," a phrase which can be interpreted in at least two ways: "The drink itself is fruity" and "The purchaser of said drink is fruity." Since these are not mutually exclusive propositions, that's at least three possible interpretations.
I was more amused than offended, but I could see the clerk was not comfortable. "Tell her you bought them for Shannon," she said. That threw me off for a second — how did she know my wife's name? — until I realized my credit card must have brought up our customer loyalty information.
The bagger was grinning mischievously, and I studied her to make sure she was a stranger and not someone who knew me well enough to push her luck with her oddly aggressive comments.
I was still more amused than offended. After all, a hundred years ago, when I was acting like a lone wolf, circling around women like I was shopping and assuming every one of them was a member of the Coalition of the Willing, my drink of choice was Zima, so I've never confused heterosexual prowess with manly drinks like whiskey or Two-Buck Chuck.
Still, it wasn't mutual sparring — I wasn't speculating on her sexuality or returning her vollies.
I paid and walked the short distance to pick up my plastic bags. As the bagger handed me the last one, she leaned in and asked, "Did you want the little pink umbrellas to go with your girlie drinks?"
I had not engaged in her game — it's a dangerous dynamic for an older male to make playful or mock-aggressive comments to a young woman, especially when lured into innuendo/sexuality territory. Especially for me, as I tend to go from zero to nuclear, seeking permanent, scarring damage instead of gentle ribbing. But she continued to take shots, and I thought, "Now you're kind of crossing the line."
"Now you're kind of crossing the line," I said out loud, as she turned to help the next customer. I already knew she had gifted me with a column idea, so I stepped back and asked, "What's your name?" and saw "Kimberly" on her plastic name tag as she jokingly tried to cover it.
Her last words as I walked away were a mock (I assume) "I know people."
"And I'm going to introduce you to 200,000 more people next Sunday," I thought to myself as I walked out.
There's no way for me to know if Kimberly is Saline's version of Chelsea Handler or if she just took one look at me and decided I would either be amenable to her jokes or incapable of firing back.
I was neither, as she now knows. Good for Kimberly that she is comfortable enough in her role as grocery bagger to playfully question a customer's manhood and sexuality based on his drink purchase. Good for Kimberly that she must feel her jabs can be separated from what a more sensitive person might construe as a bullying form of homophobia.
Kimberly's comments certainly won't stop me from shopping at Busch's. But the next time I'm buying Mike's Hard Lemonade, maybe I'll stop a mile down the road at the Country Market.
They may even sell little pink umbrellas.

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
A busy mega-resort with five restaurants, a weekly sunset luau, poolside wait service, and daily happy hours for an attractive price.
Stretching its 20 acres over both sides of Hoonani Road, the 394-room, family-friendly Sheraton Kauai Resort boasts a long, sandy stretch of beach with room enough for aggressive surfers and little kids, a weekly sunset luau, and attractive rooms with Wi-Fi and HBO. Think of this as the cheaper Grand Hyatt: fewer restaurants, pools, and amenities -- but with a better beach -- at much more affordable rates.
The Sheraton offers all the extra services one expects from a mega-resort: porters, poolside drink service, and separate concierge and activities desks -- but room-service hours are limited (stops during lunchtime and after 10:30 p.m.). Like most Hawaii resorts there's a daily resort fee, but you get a lot for it: use of the tennis courts with free equipment rental, in-room Wi-Fi, and daily morning yoga and crafts. (By contrast, the Grand Hyatt also charges a resort fee plus an extra $15 a day for Internet). For the Sheraton's low price, you'd be hard-pressed to find this many features elsewhere in Poipu.
Friendly and efficient; limited room service
Like the island's other midrange chain resorts -- the Kauai Marriott, Hilton Kauai -- the level of service here occupies a middle ground between on-your-own condo rental (like at Whalers Cove) and the white-glove treatment of a Four Seasons. At least three porters stand by the entrance, ready to open doors and say aloha to guests with a fresh flower lei. But, unlike at the pricier Grand Hyatt with its 24-hour, in-room dining, Sheraton's room service skips lunch hours and ends around 10:30 p.m.
In resort-heavy Poipu, on a beach shared with several resorts
The Sheraton Kauai is in Poipu, the south shore development that's one of Kauai's biggest resort areas. The town is known for its consistently sunny weather (versus the rainy north shore), picturesque, treelined streets -- and constant construction as developers add more condominiums and hotels to these former sugarcane fields. Located on Poipu Road, the town's main strip flanked by resorts on one side and the Poipu shopping mall on the other, the Sheraton is sandwiched roughly in between Kiahuna Plantation and Whalers Cove.
Updated but not as large as others -- and some sit across the road from the main lobby
A 2006 renovation added 32-inch flat-screens, half-canopy or four-poster beds, and new furniture -- lifting the 394 rooms a notch above the more staid furnishings and old tube TVs of the Marriott Waiohai and Kiahuna Plantation -- but still stopping short of what you'd find at the more luxurious Grand Hyatt, Koa Kea, or more recently renovated Kauai Marriott. And, unlike those competing properties, the layout of the Sheraton is fairly awkward: Its 20 acres are split up into three different wings (Garden, Ocean, and Beach) with a road separating the Garden Wing from the rest of the property.
A steep daily resort fee, but a decent number of quality amenities
While the Sheraton Kauai cannot claim the same number of features as the Grand Hyatt, it's still a good deal given the cheaper rates, decent number of amenities, and slick new business center.
Shares family-friendly Kiahuna Beach with three other vacation properties
One of the most family-friendly beaches in Poipu, Kiahuna Beach sits at the foot of three resort properties: Koa Kea, Kiahuna Plantation (run by Outrigger and Castle), and Sheraton Kauai. Beachgoers, predominately resort guests, take surf lessons, play in the sand, and snorkel in the clear water.
A nice beach for families but that's about it
Not the best and not the worst for families on Kauai, the Sheraton is a decent, affordable choice. Although it has fewer (and smaller) pools than the Marriott Waiohai and the massive Grand Hyatt (with its own kayakable lagoon), and there is no kids' club, it has a better section of beach than the Hyatt and costs less than both those hotels.
Two well-regarded, 18-hole golf courses within a five-minute drive
The Sheraton offers ready access to Poipu's two golf courses, both designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr.
Very clean except for a few dusty surfaces
Daily housekeeping in the rooms ensures that everything stays pretty spic and span -- although the countertops were a little dusty. .
One of several resorts on Kauai's Poipu Beach, the 394-room Sheraton Kauai offers solid, if not spectacular, amenities -- a fitness center, five restaurants including Lava's and Rumfire, a spa, and a long stretch of oceanfront -- at attractive rates. Its small pools aren't quite as nice as those at pricier resorts but keep in mind that the hotel has undergone a $16 million "Revitalization"; expect positive changes at the beach pool, restaurants, bars, etc.

- Distribution extensions of the milliped families Conotylidae and Rhiscosomididae (Diplopoda: Chordeumatida) into northern coastal British Columbia and Southern Alaska (2009)
- Two samples of the chordeumatidan family Rhiscosomididae (Rhiscosomides mineri Silvestri, 1909) and 35 of the Conotylidae establish these taxa in the Alexander Archipelago and continental parts of the Alaskan Panhandle, USA, and northern coastal British Columbia (BC), Canada. Rhiscosomides mineri is also recorded from southwestern BC and, for the first time, from Washington State, USA. Two conotylids were recovered, a juvenile male of ?Bollmanella Chamberlin, 1941, and 3 males and 33 females of a possibly parthenogenetic form of Taiyutyla Chamberlin, 1952, conforming generally to T. shawi and T. lupus, both by Shear, 2004, on Vancouver Island. Diplopoda are predicted to inhabit the southern Yukon Territory.
- The milliped family Tingupidae (Chordeumatida) on Kodiak Island, Alaska, USA, a geographically remote record of indigenous Diplopoda (2009)
- With documentation of an unidentifiable adult female and juvenile Tingupidae (Chordeumatida), Kodiak Island, Alaska, becomes the westernmost indigenous diplopod locality in North America including continental islands. The northernmost and most proximate locality, Yakutat, lies ca. 935 mi (1,496 km) to the eastnortheast, while Haines, the type locality of Tingupa tlingitorum Shear and Shelley, some 1,196 mi (1,914 km) in this direction, is the most proximate familial site. Kodiak is also one of the most remote indigenous milliped localities in the Pacific, the most proximate ones to the west and south, Kamchatka, Russia, and the Hawaiian Islands, United States, being over 3,300 mi (5, 280 km) distant. Tingupidae is recorded for the first time from Canada excluding the Queen Charlotte Islands, and geographically remote, ostensibly indigenous records from the North Pacific Ocean and environs are tabulated.

It was rare to see a blender at our weekly brewer's meeting. Usually, several bombers of barley soda make the trip from the brew master's private fridge to provide us inspiration for our next big idea. Margaritas? Definitely not.

Sunday, April 21 2013
If you want to turn heads in the college paintball scene, take a lesson from the 2013 Florida Gulf Coast University Eagles. Making their Class A debut, the boys from the Bay made it look easy, taking out the always stacked Cal State University Long Beach 49ers (the 2012 Champs) in the finals.
FGCU, rocking the full line of Dye Products, DM13 Markers, Dye Ultralite playing gear, and shooting a fresh batch of Dye CG Paintballs took down last year's champs 12-4. If you couldn't see it live, or if you missed FGCU rolling teams all event long via the webcast on PaintballAccess.com, check out the TV broadcast coming in crystal clear HD via the CBS Network to over 6 million homes May 18th, 2013.
It's safe to say the Dye CG Paint was on point this event, bringing both FGCU and Cal State to the finals, as well as the University of Wisconsin – Platteville Pioneers straight to the top of the CLass AA 5-man division!
Congrats to all of the teams that won using Dye CG Paintballs at the 2013 NCPA College Paintball National Championships.

Results 41 to 50 of 178
--- punches hurt way less in a real fight then in training. with adrenaline i didnt feel this guys punches at all. I dont know if he was a bitch hitter for a 300 pounder, but all i saw was like flashes of white when i closed my eyes while being hit, i didnt feel any kind of tissue damage or anything like that.
"Honey, how do you spell Sphinktor?"
^^ Without reading more (yet), I have to say that's comedy gold, up there. WTF man? Ok, I'll read more.
p.s. wait till you see the perfect Judo throw Sirc hit me with today. Hurts to laugh, hurts to sing, just hurts. I think I bruised something in the rib area....but what a throw. It inspired me to take up Judo.
It started when he said something or other, and I made fun of this video
IIRC It was shitting up the "Where were you 9 years ago" thread in his opinion (cue irony on multiple levels), so he started it. It was the ol' Reverse-sau. I suggested I probably maul him, and he got frumpy, and pulled a keyboard from his twisted panties, and went come-here-sau on it. TaeBo Master got a side-sau in, but with the mega approaching rapidly, he stopped posting, as a gong-tuck only works if there's not a readily available venue. I expect him back, as soon as the mega videos go up.
He's gonna love it. I got owned by Omega, Gabetuno, Ke?pofist, and Sirc. Great fun though. Until today, I never knew physically what getting thrown through the mat meant. I now am taking up Judo, inspired by experience. Chalk that up, as one more, in a massive unending line of BS wins.
(This post is rated rather completely drunk, but as per statute 1337 subsection 420, of the bullshido unwritten rulez of postgagement, I'm nursing injuries from a TD, and am inebriated to that end, so slack thsi one tyme is okay dokay by all of you).
