Hazell has a crucial linking role to play
Posted: January 25, 2013|
ANDY Hazell's return to the Gloucester ranks cannot come quickly enough.
Once upon a time teams all had specialist number sevens who were usually masterful at providing a real link between tackles and continuity.
They were generally smaller than the average forward but they seemed to have a sixth sense that honed in on where the game was going – not where it had gone and had broken down!
Gloucester are having to react too often at tackled ball when the skills and pace of the backline is screaming for quick possession.
The stats will, no doubt, suggest that the possession was generally retained, but the quality of that possession does not quite match what is waiting in the backline.
Coaches are between a rock and a hard place on this.
But even if the answer is to go for earlier recycled ball through a traditional type of seven, do those players exist at the top level?
We had the scare a few years ago about the dearth of home-grown props and the howls of outrage seem to have done the trick with more decent props.
The academies need to hastily start a conveyor belt to churn out English sevens. Or try to get Richie McCaw's agent's phone number.
The scoreline against Mont de Marsan looked convincing but the performance would not have made good viewing for Nigel Davies and the coaching team.
Gloucester started well, went to sleep and managed to wake-up to light the blue touch paper with 20 minutes to go.
In the first period of wakefulness, there was an object lesson in rugby's handling skills when Gloucester produced two passes in what looked no more than a five metre blindside to send Jonny May in.
The blindside, is the hardest area of the pitch to defend but May still had a lot to do to ensure that he got the try.
The Cherry and Whites had plenty of possession but all too often they were profligate as it was not used effectively to sustain attacking pressure.
It is one thing to get away with it against a side languishing in the danger zone in the French top league – it will be quite another matter to escape and win easily against tougher nuts.
After about half an hour you could almost feel the game ebbing away and focus diminishing.
Nick Wood did his level best to introduce a wake-up call with a 34th minute tackle on his own 22 that probably made sure that the French recipient had to book a dental appointment for new fillings.
Then he had the audacity and effrontery to sprint 30 metres to do it again. But the message was not getting through.
It did improve, but that change took a long time coming and the visitors were not quite as alienated and beaten as they might have imagined on the way to Luton airport.
Gloucester seem to be on the horns of a common dilemma in the Premiership.
The accepted mantra seems to be that might is right so you go for dynamic meat on the hoof that packs a big (metaphorical) punch.
Akapusi Qera is the perfect blueprint of this modern forward, but might there not be a need occasionally for a more subtle set of skills from a totally different type of player?

this brand of turmeric or curcumin is one of the few that offers more mg of the active to the lowest price. I notice the odor of spicy ginger and when I look into the directions this brand can be used also as an Infusion. That is very versatile.

I bought this because I have read that turmeric prevents leg spasms without the side effects of produce containing quinine.People said it works within a day or two if not immediately. I used it for more than a week. In my case, it simply did not work. I almost thought my leg spasms got worse. I am now trying magnesium citrate, and the jury is still out. Perhaps I have not used it long enough yet.

Recipe by Esther Nelson
"To Latinos everywhere, these are not only our bread but usually our utensil at mealtime as well! Some like big and thin, some like them small and fat, depending on the region of the country you're from and the way your grandmother made them!"

5 cups
all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons
2 teaspoons
baking powder
1/4 teaspoon
1 1/2 cups
boiling water
I've been making tortillas since I had to stand on a chair to reach the counter.
I just want to give some pointers to make this easier for those who want to try it.
1)First you don't need boiling water just as hot at you can stand out of the tap without burning yourself.
2)Let the dough sit covered for about 15 minutes before you divide them up & roll them out.
3) If you happen to have bacon grease that adds a wonderful flavor, that you don't get from plain old lard. (Just a once in a while treat I'll give myself)
4) The rolling pin you use makes all the difference in the world. If you are using one of those big fat ones with handles on the side you are never going to get anywhere. A regular wooden pin with no handles & about an 1 1/2inch diameter is what you need.
5) If you over roll them they will get hard & tough. Once up from the center & once down from the center flip over & rotate 90degrees.
6)Practice practice a couple of wasted batches don't worry its only flour & water no big loss & you can always make chilaqueles from hard tortillas!
I found that it takes more time than it is worth to make tortillas.They come out dry and stiffer than the bought ones . Unless your having a lot of help, it isn't worth it.

I usually use my grandmother's recipe but was unable to get a hold of her. This recipe was just about the same and they came out just like Grandma's. If you're not used to making tortillas or grew up around them daily the rolling out of the tortillas can be tricky. Just a couple of hints: Sprinkle a little flour on your surface and your rolling pin to keep the dough from sticking. Start in the center and roll up once and back to the center to roll down and then you need to keep turning the tortilla a couple of inches after you roll it out. It's so much easier once you get the hang of it. Store bought tortillas just don't taste like the real thing.
Excellent recipe! Those of you who don't like to roll your out or are finding too much work for you, buy a tortilla press. They cost about $20 and are worth every penny!! I couldn't live without mine and this recipe is perfect with it! It makes it worth making them!!!
This is a great recipe. taste just like tortillas, but better! I omitted the baking powder and i used margerine instead of shortening. i rolled out the dough paper thin... then i placed a bowl on the dough and cut around the edge of the bowl.. so all of my tortillas were the same perfect circles. they looked exactly like store-bought tortillas, but tasted much better!
This is the first tortilla recipe I've found that makes tasty, pliable tortillas. They keep well for several days when sealed in a ziplock bag. Delicious and fast to make!
This recipe is wonderful! As tortilla recipes go they are very tempermental. This one is easy to follow and quite basic. I have tried many tortilla recipes and they usually turn out crispy like crackers. Cooking for 1-2 mins may be too much, I only cooked them for about 30-45 secs (or about 20 secs each side). They are a bit plain, but I am more concerned with consistancy and these are pliable and easy to cook with.
These were very easy to make and so delicious, but soooooo very difficult to roll out. At first it was easy when the dough was still warm... but it got tougher and tougher. I halved the recipe and got more than enough and had a good workout in the kitchen with the roller. *lol*

Over the years, I have heard many different theories on whether or not you should leave a message when you receive a prospect's voice mail. Many sales people feel that this is an exercise in futility because most of the time their prospect does not call them back. If you have found yourself in this situation, like anyone in sales has, here are nine reasons why your prospects don't return your calls:
It really is simple: do your homework, have a strategy, and keep your message short. Take that time to prepare and you will save yourself even more time, from leaving messages that are worthless. As the old saying goes "those who fail to prepare, prepare to fail".

Madden NFL 13 Review (PS3)
I'm not the Madden guy. I'm sorry. I hate to disappoint you. I can't even say that I genuinely like footballâ?¦ or any sport really. In that way, I hope I can offer a unique view at a simulation sports game that comes out every single year and rarely adds as many new features as it did for the 2012-2013 season.
It's true that EA Tiburon and EA Sports have brought real-time physics to their dominant sports title and that Connected Careers is meant to put you in the cleats of your favorite footy-baller. It's also true that everything else from previously years is still on the disc, but does anyone care? Are we even paying attention?
If you haven't been paying attention, you really should. It's shocking, especially to me, to say this, but Madden NFL 13 is the best yet and it offers genuinely compelling gameplay, even to the uninitiated like me. In particular, I want to highlight Connected Careers as the single greatest addition to the series in a decade.
It makes fantasy football look like boring, old reality. Connected Careers lets you suit up as anyone from the name brand first-string quarter back leading the team to the super bowl to the rookie hoping to get on the field at some pointâ?¦ in the next two or three seasons. You can even unlock legendary players like Jerry Rice or play as coaches calling plays throughout the season.
Ultimately, it means you can be as invested as you want to be. The diehard football fans will get a ton of gameplay out of consecutive seasons, while casual fans like me will enjoy lacing up as Tom Brady and throwing the winning touch down pass. I repeat that Connected Careers outclasses any fantasy football league you might be joining by including up to 31 of your friends.
Week to week, you and your buddies can all play in the same league, even competing with each other and ultimately facing off in the playoffs. Players will complete training and games before the week advances, with plenty of settings to tweak for your particular group's needs.
It speaks directly to the wealth of enjoyable gameplay that Connected Careers is mentioned before the new physics engine. That's not to say there aren't truly impressive moments in 13's presentation. While San Francisco's Frank Gore leapt over a handful of linebackers, a defensive back dove for the running back's legs.
EA is calling it the Infinity Engine, a physics system that ensures that Frank Gore's legs don't go cartwheeling through the air and off into the crowd. Instead, Tiburon has developed the Infinity Engine to account for the muscles in each of those legs, meaning Gore doesn't perform feats of absurdity on his way to the red zone.
The dog piles and tackling animations no longer look canned and out of place. Instead, players tumble over each other and stumble as they get to their feet. In between moments of brilliance, the Infinity Engine also stumbles from moment to moment.
At one point in a match between myself (the NY Giants) and Anthony (the Patriots, how predictable), Eli Manning's face mask suddenly turned to velcro. It stuck to the shoulder pads of linebackers merely brushing by him.
In another offline game, Adrian Peterson struggled to get off the grass because his ankle was bent at an impossible angle while stepping over a defender. This caused him to fall back over and stay down until I called the next play. I wouldn't say that the Infinity Engine wasn't worth the trouble.
It is truly a step forward for the series and helps to defend Madden against competitors that come complete with real-world physics. It's refreshing that players don't slide around just to get in position for an animation. Frankly, it's the first iteration of the engine and there's a lot of room to grow.
Aside from those two large additions to the franchises, you should already know what you're getting into whether you've bought and played Madden every year or you're just getting into it now. The reality is that it comes down to whether you even like football or not.
Do you? Do you watch every Sunday? Do you wish games were on every day of the week? Do you have friends that have already preordered Madden NFL 13? Can you put up with some nagging issues like frame rate lag and small glitches? Can you deal with the same commentary repeated several times in a single game?
If you answered yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes, then Madden NFL 13 is a fantastic game and you should buy it right away. It's not a generational leap, but there's enough new for returning armchair quarterbacks and enough good for fans even mildly interested in simulating their favorite sport.

Appalling Burnard
When Don Burnard's "The Hot Corner" column first appeared, I applauded your efforts at covering all sides. Burnard began by stating he was neither a writer nor a journalist. He has gone to great lengths to prove both those statements.
His Sept. 20 column, "No tea, thanks," is appalling as an opinion piece of writing and as a piece of political journalism. He starts out immediately disparaging "Tea Party" attendees — in this case I think he is referring to 9/12'ers — as running around on lobbyist-paid-for buses. No facts, no figures as to what proportion this may have been. The people I know who attended a 9/12 event locally or in Washington D.C., all paid their own way.
He next contends the middle class and senior citizens would be the most harmed. Having attended at least five tea parties, the vast majority of attendees have been seniors and middle-class citizens. Most all have been very well read, informed and in touch with what is happening to our republic. I have yet to see Burnard at a tea party event. I encourage him to attend and meet these people he hopes to save. The Children of Liberty and the Libertarian Party of Ohio (of which I am an active member) have regular meet ups (NorthwestOhioMeetup.com).
Burnard uses the weak tactic of name-calling rather than facts, using buzzwords aimed at fellow Toledoans who have the audacity to disagree with his politics.
The one "fact" Burnard does expound on is a definition of fascism by Robert Paxton. No mention of Paxton's credentials or association. Still, I would like to repeat a portion of that definition according to Paxton. "… a form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation or victimhood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy, but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion." That is an exact description of ACORN, SEIU, the TIDES Foundation, et. al.
I appreciate your desire to give a voice to all sides and to aim for impartiality. In regards to all your columnists and Burnard especially, please seek writers of at least some talent, and with at least a tip of the hat to journalistic integrity. Otherwise, there will be little difference between Toledo Free Press and The Blade.
KEN SHARP, Toledo
Applauding Burnard
I just want to drop Don Burnard a note and let him know how much I agree with and appreciate his Hot Corner article, "No tea, thanks."
I absolutely refuse to listen to anything WSPD radio broadcasts anymore. I will not even listen to the news, weather and traffic any longer. Everything they say is anti-Obama. Between Limbaugh, Beck and Hannity, it is my belief that they are actually destroying this country with their hate mongering. They want to see the president fail and are doing their best to make sure that it happens. What absolutely terrifies me is how many supposedly intelligent people believe the hatred and garbage they spew.
Thank you for being a voice of reason in this mess and for allowing me to vent. I had about given up any hope there was any voice of sanity left in this world.
DIANA IRWIN, Toledo
Burnard rebuttal
Don Burnard:
Says he is sick of the so-called "tea baggers;"
Describes Rush, Glenn and Sean as loons who "make up outrageous lies and scare tactics;"
States that the tea baggers are "trying to convince people that they speak for the majority of Americans." (Note: If Mr. Burnard is referring to the tea bagger's opposition to the government takeover of the health care system, all the polls show that they (the tea baggers) do "speak for the majority of Americans;")
n Describes the people who don't agree with him as "these racist xenophobic cretins who love to preach about how Obama is leading us down the path of socialism" and further "that 99 percent of them (the tea baggers) couldn't give you a rational description of what constitutes socialism, fascism or even Nazism;"
Feels that the people with whom he doesn't agree "should read up on the subjects that are being thrown around with virtually no context whatsoever;"
n States that "if good Ol' Joe (Wilson) read the bills, assuming he can read, he would have noticed that both the House and Senate versions exclude illegal's from coverage;"
Believes that "the Republican party has become a party of radical fringe elements, who think the fact that a black man becoming president of the United States is a direct attack on their manhood;"
Describes the tea baggers as Brown Shirts who "have no respect for the country, the office of the presidency, the Constitution, or any of the Founding Fathers' vision of what this country should be."
Good grief!
In my opinion, the tone of this piece is nasty, arrogant, elitist and condescending, additionally this piece has no substance. There is a lot of name calling directed at anyone with whom Burnard disagrees with virtually no context whatsoever.
No one with whom Burnard disagrees (99 percent of them) reads, understands basic definitions or understands the Constitution or the intentions of our Founding Fathers, but of course Burnard does!
Burnard can read because he implies that he read the health care bill and then goes on to note that illegals were excluded from the health care bill; however, he missed the entire point of the controversy. If no one is required to prove citizenship to get government health care, what would stop illegals from signing up? Has Burnard noticed that the often repeated 46 million uninsured has suddenly become 30 million uninsured? Was President Obama lying? What do you think?
Why are Rush, Glenn and Sean loons? What are the outrageous lies and scare tactics referred to? Are we being led "down the path of socialism?" Why are the tea baggers protesting? Do all the females in the Senate or the House feel a "direct attack on their manhood?" (Sorry, I couldn't resist that one.) Why does Burnard call the tea baggers racists?
This piece contains no substance and is nothing more than a hateful, snotty rant, but I believe in the Constitution and the First Amendment — therefore if Burnard chooses to make a fool of himself, so be it.
MAREK MOLDAWSKY, Toledo
How about proof?
I started to read Don Burnard's column on "No tea, thanks," got through about a paragraph and told my wife I didn't need to read any further. She suggested to read the whole thing to see if he has any evidence to support what he is saying about lobbyists riding buses, etc., especially since I know many who have attended and none are paid, but are there just because of their beliefs.
So, I would like to see an article with proof. I would also like to see an article where Burnard just writes without name-calling. Take out all the adjectives (I'll use a nice word) that you use to describe Republicans or anyone with a different viewpoint than yours, and see how much column you actually have, and this includes your description of fascism as you just used someone's definition, not Webster.
RON PIDCOCK, Toledo
Counterpoint to reality
I have just finished reading Don Burnard's Sept. 20 piece and have found new energy from it. Burnard takes to task a group of favorites of mine in the form of what he and the salacious in our midst refer to "tea baggers." I'll not here go into the meaning of this lascivious twist of terms that is used by those exacerbated by the tea party-goers. As is typical of the Burnard types, they first move to demonize any opponents without a thread of evidence to support their position.
He then moves on to use as evidence, a book written by a one-topic historian, Robert Paxton, to support his contention that this country is not moving to fascism as the tea party-goers sometimes proclaim to support their fear of the general direction in which this country is moving. Burnard did not wish in his column to "outline them (the five steps that take place for fascism to gain control) in a column of this size." This could be because he may not have read far enough into "Vichy France; Old Guard and New Order" to find that Robert Paxton states the very thing that has the tea party-goers so agitated; "a general abandonment of democratic liberties". Ironically, his evidence supports the very position the "tea baggers" take.
I have the feeling that Toledo Free Press provides space to Burnard and his point of view as counterpoint to the reality that is taking place around us.
DON LYDEY, Maumee
Extremely offended
I understand that a reputable newspaper has a responsibility to present a well-rounded view of the issues of the day. Toledo Free Press is doing a nice job in that regard.
Having said that, I am extremely offended by Don Burnard's Sept. 20 column, "No tea, thanks."
The daily local paper trots out a weekly columnist named Marilou Johanek who resorts to invective and name calling in lieu of making rational arguments. I would have hoped that you folks would be above that.
But here comes Burnard calling people who have reasoned opinions like mine "loons, sore losers, racist xenophobic cretins, Brown Shirts, and dupes."
I am none of the above. I am a 60 year-old clear-thinking college instructor.
Burnard should be terminated from your newspaper. And please pass this along to him, hopefully on his way out the door.
JERRY NOSS, Whitehouse
Arrogant liberal
Don Burnard is a typical arrogant liberal who thinks he knows all the answers and us common folks don't know anything. He is so wrong!
We are not mind-numbed robots who follow the marching orders of some special interest group or talk radio or cable news. We watch cable news and talk radio to hear what is really going on in our country, since mainstream media will only tell us what they think we should know or what they think is important. Would they have ever told us about acknowledged communist Van Jones, or the corrupt ACORN organization?
He totally lacks an understanding about the tea parties and the Sept. 12 rally in Washington. Most of those people came in their own vehicles at their own expense. He also doesn't realize that for every person in Washington that day, there are 100 persons who would have liked to have been there.
We the people are very concerned about the direction our country is taking, concerned about the America our children and grandchildren will someday inherit, and especially the horrendous debt they will inherit.
1. We are concerned about big government getting bigger, having more control over our lives!
2. We do not like our Congress spending money we don't have for programs we don't need!
3. We object to Congress passing laws written by special interest groups, and never read by most of them!
4. We are not racist because we object to the socialist agenda this current administration in Washington is promoting.
5. We do not want more laws that will further harm employment in this country and raise more (hidden) taxes!
6. We object to health care legislation which will further the leftist liberal agenda, but not answer the health needs of Americans.
It can be done right, but not their way. For instance: Where is tort reform? Some of us common folks do understand what socialism means, and we see it coming every day from this bunch in Washington.
When Burnard speaks of lies and distortions, he needs to look at his own leftist, liberal friends in the media. They do their best to not tell us the truth! Thankfully, we have talk radio and cable news to tell us what the mainstream media won't.
GENE REEBEL, Temperance, Mich.
Irony in chastising
Thank you so much, Don Burnard, for your Sept. 20 article, "No tea, thanks." I was very enlightened to learn that I, along with every car in my packed hotel parking lot alone, should be able to apply for reimbursement of our expenses by some lobbyist. Please provide me that information as soon as possible.
Your name-calling is also well received, but I will decline a counter attack because I don't know you and that would be inexcusable. I do feel the need, however, to point out the irony in your chastising of Senator Joe Wilson. With that being said, as soon as I figure out this lobbyist group and also have them pay for dinner, perhaps you and I could meet. That way we could come to some conclusions on what to call each other.
I can see how watching people sing The National Anthem or recite the Pledge of Allegiance, or chant "USA" can prove our disrespect for the country, the presidency, the constitution and our founding fathers. I am not certain if you attended the September 12 March on Washington for your research, but I did. I can assure you that I witnessed no acts of violence that the brown shirts would have condoned.
As for your short comment on President Obama's speech to schoolchildren, it wasn't about the speech. If you didn't bother to research this issue then, you certainly won't care to hear about it from me now.
I would also like to comment on Rep. Wilson's inappropriate outburst – it was inappropriate. However, is it just the fact that two words were spoken that makes it more despicable than the boos that both President Clinton and President Bush endured? When you get the issue of illegal immigration, I conclude that both President Obama and Representative Wilson are correct. There are laws in this country, as there should be, that prevents denying medical attention to anyone. Would you have an illegal immigrant turned away? I wouldn't want this and my guess is neither would you. It is obvious that both sides recognize that illegal immigration does create a problem in our current healthcare system. To me, it makes more sense to address illegal immigration before we tackle healthcare reform.
Everyone that I spoke with during the weekend of Sept. 12 agrees that healthcare must be reformed. Those of us that read the bills see major flaws in the pending legislation. One issue that bothers me is that yes, you can keep your existing insurance. Unfortunately, section 102 in HR3200 that was previously titled "Limitation on New Enrollment" now titled "Protecting the Choice to Keep Current Coverage", that prevents you from switching to anything except public option. They may have changed the name of the section, but the wording is the same. I also don't see how mandating my sister to purchase an insurance policy helps her situation. If she can't even afford a catastrophic policy today, how does mandating it improve her budget?
Disagreeing with polices or how policies should be implemented, does not make me a racist. I found myself at odds (bank bailout just to name one) with President Bush also. What did it make me then? President Obama doesn't even agree with your on this issue of racism.
DORI WISNIEWSKI, Toledo
Desperate liberal
With all due respect, Don Burnard, you sound like a desperate liberal who has to resort to name-calling because you are losing the argument. As far as you referring to us conservatives as Nazis, I'd just like to confront you with a few facts. Did you know that 1) the Nazis were the National Socialist Party. 2) the Nazi's took control of industry. 3) The Nazis were also for Universal Health Care. 4) the Nazis were for guaranteed jobs. 5) the Nazis took away guns. 6) the Nazis were into Eugenics,or the creation of a master race, which is the real source of the abortion rights movement in this country.
Don't believe this? I would suggest you do some research on what Margeret Sanger believed. She spoke at KKK rallies. (Yes I believe killing babies in the womb is evil. If that makes me a hate-monger than so be it). 7) Have you ever stopped to think that it is mostly conservatives in this country that support the right of Israel (a Jewish state) to exist (very unNazi like of us, don't you think? No, I'm not implying that you liberals are Nazis, just pointing out a few facts.
I also wonder, if you were as offended at all of the name-calling of President Bush by liberals for the previous eight years. He was called a bunch of names that I will not repeat. I thought you liberals were all about love and tolerance. I also listened to you all say you had a right to disagree with the former President, which, by the way I also disagreed with Bush on many issues. Do you really believe in freedom of speech? Or do you just believe in the right of liberals to express their point of view? Now that your guy is in all of a sudden it is now unpatriotic to disagree with the President? Give me a break! Well, I'm sure you are a nice guy and I for one would defend your right to disagree with us. Have a blessed day!

Huffington Post: Bob Schieffer announced on Sunday that Condoleezza Rice is joining CBS News as a contributor.
"Everybody knows Condoleezza Rice was President Bush's Secretary of State but I'm highly pleased to announce she has a new job. As of today, she's joining CBS News as a contributor," Schieffer said at the top of the roundtable discussion on "Face the Nation." Rice was a member of the show's panel.
She will "use her insight and vast experience to explore issues facing America at home and abroad," the network said in a statement.

UB students invite the public to join community Martin Luther King Jr. Day volunteer events on January 17
|Last January, UB students spent Martin Luther King Day playing with children during Day of Service, an annual volunteer drive celebrated across the United States. University students and area groups are hosting 2011 Day of Service events on Monday, January 17. Volunteers are needed to work with kids, seniors, veterans, and at local organizations.
The events are a part of Day of Service, which is held annually in honor of the late Martin Luther King Jr. It was started in 1996 in Philadelphia, and since then has expanded as individuals, organizations, and universities across the United States spend the day volunteering in their communities.

All volunteers will receive a free T-shirt, light breakfast, and lunch. Pre-registration is currently available online at www.mlkchallenge.org (please search for events under "Fairfield County").
This year, there are ample opportunities to get involved. They include:
Connecticut Food Bank: Volunteers are needed to help sort food at the nonprofit's East Haven location.
ABCD Inner-City Children's Center: Come play, draw, and chat with pre-school students.
Bridgeport Public Library: Volunteers are needed to help move boxes and shelve books at the Main Branch at 924 Broad Street..

Why should it fall on ME (a tax payer) to put other people's kids through college? I joined the military so that I could get help with college, worked a part time job while I was going to school, and still had to take out loans to help make ends meet. Where there is a will, there's a way.
Not at all...I usually say "the same to you", "likewise", "happy holidays" or something to that effect. There's no reason that I can think of to be a scrooge/grinch this time of year.I like and celebrate Christmas, in a non-religious, time with family and friends, commercialized, federal holiday sort of way.
If the Bible is the inerrant word of God, why is there so much contradiction? Even the Gospels of Luke and Matthew contradict on when exactly Jesus was born. How could that possibly happen?
So, should I take your post to mean that you won't be providing any of this mountian of evidence of which you speak? Yeah, I didn't think so. Oh well! Hope you and yours have a very merry Xmas season michmom.
Based on your post, it's fear of eternal suffering and your love of God that motivates you to be a "christian". Is that how "God" wants it? I doubt that's what he was after when he supposedly created "free will".
Also, humans evolved from monkeys? That's news to me. It would also be news to every evolutionary biologist that ever lived. If you could prove that, there would be a whole lot of people changing their minds about evolution.
Perhaps you could provide some of this "proof" of God that you speak of? The Bible is said to be the word of God, but even the Gospels of Luke and Matthew cannot agree on the time of the birth of Jesus. Matthew says that he was born during the rule of Herod the Great (Herod died in 4BCE). Luke says that Jesus was born during the census of Quirinius which is why Joseph and Marry traveled from Nazareth to Bethlehem. This census took place in the year 6/7CE. That's at least a ten year difference. If the Bible is the inerrant, inspired word of God, how do you explain the discrepancies?
Why do I get the distinct feeling that you don't know many atheists and that your views are based on common inaccurate stereotypes about atheists?
Federal regulations, and not airline regulations, are what prohibit inconsiderate jerks from smoking on an airline. I for one, am glad those regulations exist.
"There's a lot of voters out there who care about issues like human embryo research and don't believe in killing live human embryos for a form of research that has never treated a single human being (while other forms of ethical stem cell research that don't take human life are treating and advancing today)."
Yes...throwing them out with the trash is a much better solution. What...you didn't know that's what eventually happens? Fertility clinics have limited storage space and they can't keep embryos frozen forever. Why not use them to see if we can help living people as opposed to just discarding them like trash?
Absolutely. The hockey player this thug beat the crap out of missed a majority of the season last year. It seems only fitting that this thug now miss most of his season.
Karma rears its ugly head with Winston. Just as that MSU hockey player had to fight back from injury to play, so too will Winston.
You sir, are a giant douche bag. Sorry, it needed to be said. Since you're always complaining about how people are emboldened on an anonymous forum, feel free to email me is you want to discuss further. firstname.lastname@example.com
Manny doesn't even have a left hand...there's no way he's ready for the NBA.
Can't go outside if it's below freezing? 8 year-old babies? Man, no wonder why kids are so soft (and I'm not talking just about soft around the mid-section) these days. Parents are way too over protective.
Hey Carty,
Your cheap parting shot to seeeeya is the type of petty, punitive writing I have come to expect from you. I will say that I have never been a fan of your writing, and in my opinion, a majority of the stuff you put out was trash.
However, there were occasional articles that were very good. The one on Chris Eggle was outstanding. I'm not sad to see you go, but I do wish you the best of luck in your new pursuits.
That's just not fair! AWESOME move.

I saw a brinjal...
I saw a brinjal...
I saw it on the roadway...
Yes it caught my eye,
As I walked on by...
There must be a vendor...
With a desperation on his face...
Who thought I should eat you...
And he fumbled you on the roadway...
You're nutritional!
You're nutritional!!
You're nutritional!!!
It's true!
There must be a vendor,
With a smile on his face,
When he thought I would buy you,
But it's time to face the truth...
I'll never ingest you...
My HP Poem #635
©Atul Kaushal
When we feel sorrow,
When we've gone through unbearable pains,
When we're already on the verge of giving up,
When our hope was lost,
Always try to remember
The very reason why we struggled;
Our purpose and our dreams;
That would give us the strength
We need to carry on and still pursue.
These challenges and hardships will soon pass;
We must not see them as hindrances
But rather tools to make us stronger
And to bring the best out of us.
Challenges are set before us to make a better person out of us and not to break us. ^_^
Your presence engulf my existence
A fragile instrument I cannot touch
Grasping for air with this essence
The nearness of you makes me want you much
Loving you is bittersweet symphony
Trap in a lifeless agony
I tried to hold on for what it's worth
But then it hit me, oh help me clarity
Adrift in this feckless fray
I have lost you once, strayed the second time
Wanting for you is a curse I have to pay
I'm not in love,
It's just this feeling I'm getting.
She's not in love,
It's just that feeling she's getting.
We're not in love,
It's just love has found its abode in us.
©Atul Kaushal
Mister Sun was out
Lady Wind did whisper
Baby Clouds did not pout
Birds chirped for a listener
And now the seasons change
Through the tall grass
The autumn breeze blows
A warmth the air lacks
As summer does go
And now the seasons change
Winter comes with clouds
Heavily they sure will weigh,
Over the city over the town
Loom those clouds of gray
And now the seasons change
Back to the beginning
We return from where we came
Everything must start over
So it can continue the same
And again the seasons change
Hypnotized by you,
I am drowning,
Day by day.
In the emotion,
Of your love,
I'm drowning wilfully,
Really not to be save,
Listen when I say.
Effortlessly I let my body sink,
Not struggling at all to escape,
I only fear distance from you.
Not the physical distance,
But the distance of hearts,
A distance of heartbreaks.
You say similar things,
Claiming I stole your heart,
An eternal truth this we share.
Dreaming on & on,
We even struggle often,
Our struggle goes on & on.
Looking into these calm dark eyes,
On your face full of beauty & truth,
I gain an escape from worldly lies.
You claim I jinxed you the first time,
So true- weren't we bound to meet,
It's just Time choreographed this.
I can't easily refute the blame,
After all I am an equal partner,
In this lyrical life & this game.
So I bear morally equal liability,
As we observe our love garner,
After all I am older than you.
We can't give into these tough times,
Not now, today, tomorrow nor ever,
For our relationship is a challenge.
A challenge for changing our world it is,
A bright change for a brighter future,
A betterment of your & my lives.
I know you're with me in life,
I know you're surely lighter,
I know you're much young.
Younger than my experience,
Younger than my sad lifespan,
Younger than my reborn avatar.
Happier than my own best happy,
Happier than my ever-so-pale face,
Happier than my knowledge can be.
Along the way I sprint hypnotized,
Along the Angel imparting me strength,
Along you my Angel - not alone as I had been.
^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^
My first 17-paragraph poem. I guess I'll call it a Decaseptolet poem.

My HP Poem #406

All love of mine
Sing and dance
Want to romance
Only with you!
All love of mine
Smile and say
Just want to stay
Only With you!
All love of mine
Touch and feel
Want to peal
Only with you!
All love of mine
Knock and click
Want to stick
Only with you!
This poem is a toast to our love, to pure love.
Let peace, purity & contentment prevail
everywhere evenly dispelling hatred.

I remember the day we met.
I walked into your class with a frown on my face.
I looked up and saw you.
I felt a shiver inside.
I walked up to your desk and said hi to my friends.
You smiled at me and I smiled back.
I took your folder that had its drawings on it.
I asked who drew them.
You said you did.
I complimented your work.
You said thanks.
You asked my name and I told you.
You kept trying to pronouce it correctly.
Finally you got it.
I asked for your name and you gave it to me.
I liked your name.
It seemed to fit perfectly.
The bell rang and we stared at each other.
After about two minutes I said bye.
You waved me off.
I was late to class.
But I didn't care.
I fell in love that day...

Recycle bins and containers for a fun, thrifty craft project that doubles as organization! These upcycled containers are decoupaged with scrap paper and then put to use!
- Scrapbook paper
- Mod Podge
- Credit Card
- Old Containers
Coffee Container:
- Cut a piece of scrap book paper to size of the container to cover.
- Slap the MP onto the can.
- Add scrapbook paper.
- Smooth it out with a credit card.
Yogurt Container:
- These little containers can pose a little challenge because the top is larger than the bottom. I started off the same way as coffee can, but had to rip the paper up the sides to get them to lay smooth.
- Continue to rip, MP and smooth the paper downward toward bottom of containers to prevent bubbles.
- The white bit at the top was not very pleasing (especially with the expiry date stamped on there)… so a little grosgrain ribbon solved that.
The possibilities are endless when you craft using recycled materials. Use this list of 14 Easy to Make Water Bottle Crafts as inspiration and then dream up some upcycled projects of your own!

I love ideas like this. Fantastic way to upcycle food containers for use around the home, instead of purchasing the pre-made ones which will do the same job. The decoration can be more generic or rotated throughout the year depending on the season, too!

Love it- so simple! You could also just paint them, if you are really lazy or pressed for time or out of paper:) Also, you could print out photos of your pets/children, or artwork you like (paper ephemera or photos) and decoupage them onto the containers.

DETROIT, Mich. -- A highly successful first regular season in the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference (WHAC) culminated in a slew of awards for the men's soccer team. Of the awards, the Mustangs' all-time leading scorer Jordan Berry (Dearborn, Mich./Crestwood) was named WHAC First Team All-Conference.
The senior striker earned an appearance on the conference's first team after finding the back of the net 21 times this season. The impressive total was two-shy of the top spot in the conference to cement Berry's first time selection. In all, Berry totaled 45 points on the season to complete a season in which he was one of the NAIA's top performers. The senior ended the regular season fourth in the nation in goals and eighth in points.
Freshman forward Abdoullie Jallow (Bansang, The Gambia) broke onto the WHAC scene with a first-year performance that included nine goals and six assists. The 24-point season was recognized by the conference as Jallow was named WHAC Newcomer of the Year. The honor goes to the top freshman or transfer in the conference.
Jallow also earned a spot on the WHAC's Honorable Mention team for his efforts this season.
The standouts in the classroom were also recognized as four Mustangs earned a spot on the WHAC's All-Academic Team. Seniors Jordan Largent (Mattawan, Mich./Mattawan) and Stefan McMillan (Saint Johns, Mich./Saint Johns) were named to the all-academic team due to qualifying grade point averages. Juniors Ahmed Almosawi (Dearborn, Mich./American Muslim Academy) and Jad El-Zein (Tyre, Lebanon/Fordson) also earned a spot on the conference's all-academic team due to their diligence in the classroom.
Senior keeper Malcolm Brinker (Plainwell, Mich./Plainwell) was named to the WHAC's Champions of Character Team after embodying the NAIA's Five Core Values of Respect, Responsibility, Integrity, Servant Leadership, and Sportsmanship. Brinker, active in the Marygrove community and beyond, has been a tireless volunteer for many projects during his time at Marygrove College.

Just the ticket
New e-citation system speeds up police work
The new e-citation systems being installed locally speed up traffic stops considerably, although one major component of it can be used only with motorists from Indiana.
The scanning device that automatically inputs driver information into the system will work only with Indiana licenses and registrations, officials say.
Motorists from other states still will be ticketed or warned through the system, but the deputy, trooper or police officer making the stop will have to type the license information into the computer. Once in, the system works just the same as with the scanner, checking for warrants and alerts and ultimately printing out a paper ticket.
"It may sound like a setback," Vanderburgh County Sheriff Eric Williams said. "But in looking at our traffic stops, 75 percent or better are Indiana residents."
Indiana State Police Sgt. Todd Ringle said the system's inability to work with other states has been the lone drawback in an otherwise positive transition. His agency began using the system in late 2007.
But even the inability to scan other states may not be a problem forever.
"It will be an even more valuable tool when more states get on board with this e-ticket system," he said. "And that's just a matter of time."
— Gavin Lesnick
Courier & Press staff writer
When Vanderburgh County sheriff's deputies stop a vehicle for a traffic violation, they often read the driver's information into the radio to check for alerts and warrants and to verify whether it's a valid license.
It can take several minutes for the deputy to repeat the license number and the full name of the operator.
That changes with the new in-car Electronic Citation and Warning System.
"Now I go bing-bing, and it's all done," said Vanderburgh County Sheriff Eric Williams, referencing the new hand-held scanner that reads the bar code on driver's licenses and registrations.
"We're pretty excited about it."
And that's not the only benefit: Officials say the e-citation system will speed up traffic stops as a whole, streamline the administrative process of filing the ticket and make for a more legible, easier-to-understand document.
The system, which debuted locally with the Indiana State Police in late 2007, currently is being implemented in both the Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Department and the Evansville Police Department. Each in-car unit costs about $700, although it's funded largely through grants administered by the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute.
The Police Department expects to add 80 of the devices — which work with the in-car computer systems already installed in the patrol vehicles — within the next two months. The Sheriff's Department already has installed its first e-citation unit in a patrol vehicle and will add 39 more in the near future.
Across Indiana, more than 40 agencies are using the e-citation system and giving out the uniform ticket it creates.
Williams said it's a wise investment, given the current economic situation.
"The reality is we're not going to be getting any new money," he said. "So we're trying to find ways we can work smarter."
And the new system does just that, he said.
Whereas deputies previously had to write out separate tickets for each violation, the new system allows multiple violations to be added to a single ticket with a click of a button.
Instead of scrawling out all the necessary information on carbon paper, which someone down the line would have to decipher and enter in a computer database, the system automatically sends copies of the electronic ticket to the courts and the state.
There's no fear of misplaced paperwork, and eliminating that extra re-entering of data will save time and improve accuracy, Williams said.
"The quality of work will be much greater," he said. "Any time you're keying new information in, you're going to make mistakes. That's just the way it is."
As for the offender, the system quietly and quickly prints out a copy of the ticket in an in-car printer. The whole process takes minutes.
Sitting in the first Sheriff's Department patrol vehicle to receive the system recently, Chief Deputy Dave Wedding demonstrated how it works.
With Williams as a test, Wedding scanned the sheriff's driver's license and immediately saw Williams' personal information on the screen.
"There is a message for you," it spoke in a voice Williams likened to HAL 9000 from the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey," before saying his license number and that he is a 43-year-old white male. It would have warned of warrants or other alerts, although Williams' record is clean.
From there, it takes a few screens of inputting location, the violation and any other comments. Then the ticket is printed and signed — the only handwriting that remains in the process — and the electronic version is sent onward.
Even though he acknowledges people may think it's all part of a scheme to bang out more citations in quicker order, Williams said that's not the intention.
"The obvious thought that's going to run through people's minds is, 'Oh this is great, they're going to be able to write more tickets,'" he said.
"I guess that's true, but that's not the goal. What we want to do is write a higher quality of ticket and make our people more efficient so they can spend more time patrolling."

Not terribly surprising, but there won't be major Senate rules reform, let alone filibuster reform, this session.

Greg Sargent is right: All I'm saying is that raging against successful Republican efforts to block individual Dem initiatives isn't enough.
