William Blake's Sexual Path to Spiritual Vision, by Marsha Keith Schuchard
By Gesigewigu's | 3 comments
William Blake's Sexual Path to Spiritual Vision, by Marsha Keith Schuchard Inner Traditions, 9781594772115, 398 pp., 2008Reading William Blake one cannot help but realize this is a man who is both religious and spiritually active, especially his poems known as the prophecies. The question is what was the nature of his spiritual life? What inspired Blake to create works that are both heavily Christian and at the same time antagonistic to many Christian ideals? The surprising answer is laid out as Schuchard leads us back into the complex religious web of mystical Christianity of the 17th and 18th century.No clear, singular document exists that explains Blake's religious life and upbringing, so Schuchard researched and wrote this text as a "reconstruction of the lost religious history of the family of William Blake." This area is rarely investigated, and considering how bizarre and complicated a picture Schuchard paints it's not surprising that "sensible academic critics have cautiously refrained from taking the plunge" into this counter-religious culture.

By the late '60s, sport was big business in America, one in which whites served as kingmakers, blacks as gladiators. With no change on the horizon, the grievances of African-American athletes multiplied in proportion to their visibility on the national scene. By 1968, one-fourth of all Major League Baseball players, one-third of all professional football players, and more than half of professional basketball players were black. Representation in the managerial ranks, however, was sorely lacking. Blacks were stereotyped as fleet of foot but slow of mind, thought to fold under pressure and lack the ability to motivate white players.
In 1967, the Olympic Project for Human Rights (OPRH) formed to address racial inequality in sports. By linking the Olympics with institutionalized racism, the group drew considerable attention to the Black Power initiative to boycott the Mexico City Olympics. This threat posed serious consequences – black athletes had won 34% of all U.S. track and field medals in the postwar period and were predicted to win more than half of the potential medals in 1968.
While the OPHR garnered a lot of attention leading up to the games, in the end athletes decided it was better to go to Mexico and protest individually, capitalizing on the 400 million people who would be watching around the world during the first major network broadcast of the Olympic Games.
The decision led to one of the most iconic, if controversial, images in American sports. Tommie Smith had just shattered the world record in the 200-meter dash, with teammate John Carlos in third position. As the two took their places on the podium, they had a wide collection of symbols to stake their political claim: they were barefoot to symbolize poverty; they wore black scarves to symbolize pride; they bowed their heads in remembrance of fallen heroes; and over their heads they raised black-gloved fists to symbolize power.
Part of the protest's effectiveness lay in the fact that it was given as "The Star-Spangled Banner" was being played and the American flag was being raised. As TV commentators and those in the stands became hushed out of respect for the anthem, they were forced to remain a silent, captive audience to the protest unfolding before them.
Less than 24 hours later, the Olympic administration suspended the duo and forced them out of the Olympics. With the suspension, the Black Power protest became front page news and a debate raged over whether the protest was an action of empowerment or one of disrespect.
Such attention came at a high personal cost for the protesters. Smith lost a professional football contract and, despite exemplary scholarship and ROTC service, was declared unfit to serve in Vietnam. The entire track team –coached by the legendary Payton Jordan and widely considered the best team in track and field history – lost lucrative endorsement deals. No one was invited to the White House, even though the team had won twelve gold medals.
The Americans weren't alone in bringing politics into the '68 Games. Peter Norman, the Australian sprinter who came second in the 200-meter race, and Martin Jellinghaus, a member of the German bronze medal-winning 1600-meter relay team, also wore Olympic Project for Human Rights buttons at the games to show support for the suspended American sprinters. Czechoslovakian gymnast Vera Cáslavská protested the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia by deliberately looking away when the USSR national anthem was played, a move that effectively ended her career.
While many today still believe that politics should play no role in sports, the International Olympic Committee itself has been forced to make controversial decisions in its role as a governing body – it censured Afghanistan when the Taliban took power, threw out South Africa during its apartheid era, and currently allows delegations from Puerto Rico, East Timor and Palestine. By awarding Beijing the 2008 Summer Games, it ensured millions would follow the turbulent torch relay, the furor over Tibet and Darfur, the debates over open media coverage, pollution and the Chinese government's constant worries about dissenters bringing the games to a halt.
Regardless of what takes place in China, as the events of Mexico City demonstrated some forty years ago, athletes don't lose their belief systems the moment they take the field, and what happens at an international athletic competition should never be underemphasized, simplified or dismissed merely as "just sports." While there are many reasons to be critical of the Games – doping, corporatism, media saturation, and so on – the inevitable intertwining of politics and sports on the world stage is one of the reasons that the Olympics matter. The whole world is still watching.

Gold Cup
There are few players of Fire past that hold as an emotional connection to Chicago as former winger DaMarcus Beasley.
Scott Strazzante/Tribune
Having began his career with the Men in Red in 2000, Beasley made 134 competitive appearances, tallying 18 goals and 28 assists in four and a half seasons before signing with Dutch Eredivisie side PSV Eindhoven in 2004.
He also helped the club to three domestic titles in his time and along with Josh Wolff was the Fire's first representative on a U.S. World Cup team in 2002.
PERUSE: TrueCar Chicago Fire Player Registry
Beasley has had ups and downs in his career, falling out of the national team picture twice only to earn his way back. His current international renaissance was made more special by his captaining of the side to Sunday's Gold Cup title where it all began for him with the Fire at Soldier Field.
Chicago Redeye asked the veteran winger (and now converted left back) what it meant to raise the trophy in Chicago, with Beasley saying, "I still have so much love for the fans of the Chicago Fire. This was my first real club."
With a pretty strong love for the club and city, could a Fire return happen for Beasley before his career ends?
Last September, the Fire alum retured to the Windy City to take in a game at Toyota Park and told Chicago-Fire.com this:
SELECT SHOTS: From today's CONCACAF Gold Cup press conference at Solider Field
CONCACAF is hosting a press conference today at Soldier Field to announce a huge soccer event happening in Chicago this summer. The Press Conference is slated to start at 10:30am CT.
Click Here to watch the big news unfold.
...defender Carlos Bocanegra brings to end his four-year stay with the Chicago Fire by signing with English Premier club Fulham FC on this day in 2004.
Arguably the best defender in Chicago Fire history, Bocanegra was a two-time MLS Defender of the Year and League Best XI selection (2002, 2003) as well as being the first Fire player to claim MLS Rookie of the year in 2000 and helped the club to three domestic titles (2000, 2003 U.S. Open Cup, 2003 Supporters Shield) as well as an additional two finals appearances (2000, 2003 MLS Cup).
Bocanegra was one of just three defenders named to last year's #Fire15 player's list along with former teammats C.J. Brown and Lubos Kubik.
At the time of his Fire departure, Bocanegra had only just begun to break into Bruce Arena's U.S. Men's National Team squad, with the future captain scoring four goals in his first full campaign for the Stars and Stripes in 2003.
With the UCLA product proving his worth for both club and country, Fulham signed Bocanegra on a free transfer (in the same window that future Fire forward Brian McBride arrived at Craven Cottage) and the two formed the basis for a long-term American occupancy of the West London club.
He would parlay his form at Fulham into making the 2006 U.S. World Cup team and while his time there would come to an end, Bocanegra was eventually named as new U.S. captain when former Fire coach Bob Bradley took the national team reins in 2007.
Moving to a less traditional American soccer destination with French clubs Stade Rennes (2008-10), Bocanegra led the U.S. to the Round of 16 at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa before moving to St. Etienne following the tournament.
A move to Scottish giants Glasgow Rangers would follow but after the side went into administration this past summer, whispers of the former Fire defender's MLS return could be heard league-wide before he eventually went on loan to Spanish Segunda side Racing Santander.
Having now a decade of national team experience under his belt, the 33-year-old center back sits tied with Paul Caligiuri for sixth all-time on the national appeance list at 110 and is has scored more international goals (14) than any defender in U.S. history.
With his time for the national team and career winding down, a return to MLS could still be in his future. Remember, returning to Chicago for a U.S. friendly vs. Poland in October 2010, Bocanegra was quoted as saying this…
"This is my first choice. You never know how it works with (Major League Soccer) and allocations, but I love this city. For me, it would be cool to play for one team my whole career in MLS. I would like to come back to Chicago."

All it takes is one good day to make up for a bunch of bad ones.
It had been raining for several days and then freezing over during the nighttime. Water pipes were bursting all over town.
Older homes – not built in the days of running water – had been updated with the plumbing running along the outside.
During cold snaps, we had to "draw off" a supply before dark and then turn the water off.
Resolutions always come about from revelations. You know, it never fails.
Whenever a new year dawns and we get to studying about ourselves, trying to figure whether lifestyle changes are needed, that's a revelation.
All those plans and promises to do better are just resolutions. Revelations don't come into play until you resolve to do better.
Take "Little Bill," for instance.
Every year, when Christmas was over and school started back, I resolved to study more, mainly because teachers had six weeks worth of tests lined up.
My goodness, Christmas seemed to slip in on us and now we are facing a brand new year.
I seriously doubt if the Evans household will splurge on any extravagance celebration to welcome in 2008. We will face it with a month- old great-grandson who has no idea what may lie ahead.
Two events of major concern for us are paying property taxes by Jan. 15 and celebrating my 75th birthday in February.
That's as good a reason as any (not the taxes) to pause and look at New Year's past.
Most folks picture Christmas in many ways.
Families gather around a roaring fire with a glittering Christmas tree shining in the background and brightly colored packages scattered around it.
I remember a lot of Christmas celebrations just like that.
But there was a very special one that was as pretty to me as a Norman Rockwell painting, thanks to the generosity of a man on a Christmas Eve long ago.
During those lean years of the Depression, Christmas was sad for folks who couldn't afford to give the smallest of presents to their children.
You know, I used to think we did a pretty good job decorating for the Christmas season.
Of course, we didn't have inflatable snowmen or Santa's out in the yard. Reindeer with bobbing heads didn't grace the front of our house.
There were no icicles hung from porch overhangs, nor blinking lights transforming to rows of running lights adorning the banisters.
I guess we didn't do up Christmas very well.
Let's get one thing straight – the fact I grew up in simpler time doesn't mean I'm simple-minded and reject progress.
We've come a long way baby, from plowing with mules, to walking on the moon.
Alas, behold the multi-colored, multi-functional cellular telephone.
Now, when I was a lad, telephones came in one color, black, which was OK by Mr. Henry Ford, who was a genius in the manufacturing of black automobiles. The only exception was the white version of the telephone, which only showed up in Hollywood movies and in the hands of paper doll cut-outs.
An early Christmas gift arrived at our house last week, just a couple of days before Thanksgiving Day.
I have been blessed with a great-grandson who weighed in at 6 pounds, plus some small change.
It's been almost 30 years since a newborn has been under our roof.
I must admit that this blessed event has been an eye-opening experience for me.
I never realized all the stuff it takes to support a tiny little person.
I don't know if it was tradition or custom, but a couple weeks before "Big Thursday" or Thanksgiving Day, my daddy and I journeyed down to Tradesville to pick up our big ole gobbler.
There was a man my daddy knew who raised turkeys just for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Of course, they didn't come all plucked, dressed and oven-ready. These were honest-to-goodness strutters that looked right at you and lowered their wing feathers until they touched the ground. The toms, or male turkeys, were proud fellas and couldn't resist showing you just how important they were.
It had been simmering for a few days; I hit a stretch where it seems like I couldn't do anything right. It was one mess right after another.
I was all of 6 years old, with a whole year of grammar school to look back on.
Shucks, I was doing my best, but my best just didn't seem to be pleasing anybody.
I came to the conclusion that nobody loved me anymore.
That had to be it; I was getting jumped on at the supper table on a right regular basis.
They wouldn't even let me have a piece of white meat chicken and I was tired of drumsticks.
The Christmas of 1941, was just awful. Pearl Harbor got bombed.
Just when folks were beginning to see a little daylight with the Depression winding down, we were jolted into the cold reality of war.
All the work I did trying to get that new J.C.Higgins' Roadmaster bicycle was wiped out by a single letter from Sears, Roebuck and Company in Greensboro, N.C.
"Your recent order has been canceled due to the war effort," it read.
More than 60 years later, I still vividly remember Sunday, Dec. 7, 1941.
Momma shouted the news to me while I was playing outside.

Renewable energy refers to energy that occurs naturally and repeatedly in the environment. Therefore, it does not release any net greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. In the UK, in 2013 14.9% of electricity was produced from renewable sources (source: gov.uk). Using renewable energy sources can offer a wide range of benefits to your business: lower energy bills energy price stability security of energy 'green' credentials possibility of selling electricity back to the grid at a premium Renewable electricity generation Wind power (small scale wind energy) Wind turbines are used to produce electricity. They are attached to outside of buildings - require a structural survey and planning permission. Solar electricity (photovoltaics) Solar photo voltaic (solar PV) panels or cells convert sunlight into electricity. They are attached to outside of buildings - require a structural survey and may require planning permission. Small-scale hydro-electric power An immersed turbine uses flowing water to produce electricity. This technology is highly site-specific. It requires a near body of water that is flowing and has a drop in level that can be exploited. Renewable heat generation Solar water heating (solar thermal) Uses energy from the sun to heats water up to 55-65ºC. Systems should be roof-mounted and ideally integrated into your current immersion-heated, hot-water system. Biomass Generating power by burning organic material, such as wood, straw, dedicated energy crops, sewage sludge and animal litter. Lots of space is required for the boiler and storage of fuel. Site access is also important for deliveries of fuel. Anaerobic Digestion (AD)* Bacteria break down organic material in the absence of oxygen, producing a combustible methane-rich biogas. Requires access to large amounts of high-strength liquid organic wastes. Planning permissions will be required and you should consult a specialist about odour control. *Note: output can be for heating, combined heat and power (CHP) or fuel for transport. Ground-source heat pumps (GSHPs)** Using naturally-occurring underground low-level heat. Most suitable for 'new builds' with appropriate geological features. Air-source heat pumps (ASHPs)** Converting low-level heat, occurring naturally in the air, into high-grade heat. System must be attached to outside of buildings - planning permission may be required **Note: Ground- and Air- source heat pumps are not completely 'renewable' as they require electricity to drive their pumps or compressors. Combined heat and power (CHP) Combined Heat and Power (CHP) is the on-site generation of electricity and the use of the heat that is produced as a by-product.

Though we never met a Proenza Schouler collection we didn't like, we were particularly taken by the designer duo's S/S 10 show. Drawing inspiration from the worlds of surfing and skating, the minds behind this cult label-fashion-world darlings Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez-created a high energy, fun, and tomboy-meets-girly presentation that was undoubtedly one of their very best. The creative pair experimented with pieces that were brilliantly tied and dyed, but kept the patterns and tailoring sporty and marvelously modern-not like the hippie-splattered pieces we remembered from day camp. The snug tops and flouncy, voluminous skirts were styled to perfection, and the technicolor neon palette felt decidedly of-the-moment. In fact, our hearts were aflutter when we first set our eyes on the Tie-Dyed Long-Sleeve Shirt ($375), the Sleeveless Tie-Dyed Mini Dress ($2760), and the Cowl-Back Mini Dress ($1520), as they are the ideal way to sweep some much-needed sunshine into our winter wardrobe!
Of course, each piece is a serious investment. Granted Proenza Schouler is always spot-on and the craftsmanship is near perfection, but forking over the equivalent of a rent check for your favorite off-the-runway garments can be a little unrealistic. So we started thinking, if we could get our hands on a few crafty ingredients (rubber bands, rubber gloves, Tulip fashion dye, and some old newspapers to cover your work space!) and rework some of our closet staples (there was a button-down and a long sleeve shirt in our armoire begging for a revamp!), could we (some of the most fanatical fashion followers/least handy people) make this style at home? Thankfully, the answer is yes we can! All that's required is a little step-by-step guidance from Erica Domesek, the one-woman-wonder behind P.S. I Made This!
While each look from this Proenza Schouler collection was certainly covetable, there were two pieces we really wanted to try and recreate at home. First up: the Safari Shirtdress ($1275), which was meant to mimic the way in which skaters tie their track jackets around their waist. We love a frock, but we opted for an easier-to-wear oxford instead, which will surely make your favorite jeans-and-tee outfit feel a bit more up-to-date this spring. Secondly, we opted for another editor, buyer, and fan favorite: the Silk Knit Jacquard Sweater ($1355). Both items were perfectly executed in Erica's deft DIY hands and, best of all, the process was a snap!
If you're ready to try your hand at crafting one of these homemade creations, please read on to get all of the step-by-step information about this how-to in our inaugural Do It Yourself feature. And remember to check out P.S. I Made This, as it not only has additional details about today's project, but is also filled with lots of adorable easy-to-do ideas!-Kate Mulling
-Rubber Bands
-Rubber Gloves
- Tulip Tie Dye ($5) in Turquoise and Blue
-American Apparel Unisex Oxford Long Sleeve Button Up Shirt ($54)
1. Gather small sections of the shirt (on both front and the back) into little peaks. Secure each one with a rubber band, wrapping the band around the section several times. Repeat this step all over the button-down shirt. (The sections can be spaced sporadically, just make sure you have about 15 in total, including a couple on each arm.)
2. Put on gloves to avoid getting inky hands! Pour the Turquoise fashion dye all over the shirt until it is completely and evenly saturated. Alternatively, submerge the shirt in a bucket of dye for approximately 10 minutes. Make sure to squeeze out the excess dye.
3. Take your darker contrasting shade of Blue fashion dye and add sporadic dots and drips around the rubber bands on the garment. Keep in mind that the dye will bleed, a little goes a long way!
4. Finally, remove the rubber bands and hang to dry. (Erica recommends you wait three days to wash it. When you do, just follow the instructions on the shirt's label, and, to be safe, wash it in like colors or all alone!)
-Rubber Gloves
- Tulip Tie Dye ($5) in Black, Blue, and Yellow
-American Apparel Sheer Jersey Long Sleeve Tee ($26)
1. Lay the shirt down on a flat surface. Insert a piece of cardboard in between the layers, so the dye does not bleed through from the front to the back!
2. Spray sides of the shirt with the Yellow fashion dye creating two outer panels of color.
3. Spray the middle section of the shirt with the darker contrasting color (in this case, the Blue fashion dye). It's ok if the color overlaps a little bit-we think the bleeding looks cool!
4. Let it dry flat (for approximately thirty minutes; it's ok if it's a bit damp, as it will help the color bleed) and repeat first three steps on the backside of the shirt.
5. Once it has dried, gather the shirt in very thin vertical sections, grabbing from the neck and the bottom of the shirt (to create an accordion effect!)
6. Finally, make thin horizontal lines with the Black fashion dye (with tip applicator) across the gathered accordion surface using the tip of your tie dye bottle nozzle. Repeat on the sleeves.
7. Again, our master crafter recommends you wait for the shirt to dry for three days before washing, according to the directions on the tag. For peace of mind, wash it in like colors or all by itself first!

WEST CARTHAGE The village board of trustees agreed Monday to enter into a payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreement with the West Carthage Housing Authority.
Under state law, low-income housing such as that administered by the Housing Authority is exempt from real property taxes as long as it is owned by a public body or governmental agency.
The PILOT payment will be 1.5 percent of the basic rents or $3,000, whichever is lower, with the annual payment due in November.
This updated agreement replaces the cooperation agreement from January 1987, lowers the payment amount and will be reviewed in five years.
The trustees also appointed Todd C. Norrgard to a five-year term on the Housing Authority board.
In other action, the board:
n Approved, after a public hearing at which no one spoke, overriding the state cap of 2 percent on increases in the property tax levy.
n Voted not to allow tapping of maple trees on village-owned property, including the terrace area between the sidewalk and the street.
n Designated Mayor Scott M. Burto and Clerk Deborah J. Pierce to develop and be administrators for a village Facebook page. Its becoming so popular theres no reason not to, Mayor Burto said.
n As a result of the reopening of Long Shots Bar and Grill under new ownership, asked village attorney Lawrence D. Hassler to research options for prohibiting the issuing of an outdoor liquor permit. The village does have an open-container law, but that pertains only to public property.
n Approved a request by Fire Chief Peter Crump Jr. for the use of the community room Sunday for a Super Bowl party that would be open to the public at a cost of $3. The chief also reported there will be cold water rescue training this weekend and, if the seven members taking the course pass, the department will have 14 members trained for winter rescue.
n Agreed to give $300 for the Carthage Area Chamber of Commerces Winterfest.

Molson Coors Moncton Brewery Wins Green AwardShare Tweet
Molson Coors Moncton Brewery
It is with the utmost pleasure that I blog about another award Molson Coors has received! Our Moncton brewery applied for the Moncton Industrial Park Association Green Award, and won! Gary Cook, Chief Power Engineer, sent in the application on behalf of the folks at the Moncton brewery. The application explained all of the "go green" initiatives and exemplary teamwork at the plant in order to achieve these green goals.
Peter Belliveau from the Moncton Industrial Parks Association was at the brewery on Tuesday, September 28th to present an engraved plaque and cash prize to Gary Cook. There was also a BBQ for the entire team funded by the award from the Industrial Parks Association today…we like the sound of that!
As highlighted by Gary, one of the biggest initiatives to be environmentally responsible was to set reduction targets for all plant utilities. Since 2008, Moncton has been achieving these reductions…check out these awesome percentages:
1. Electricity 32%
2. Water 36%
3. Natural gas 33%
4. Co2 63%
To ensure that the brewery is making environmentally friendly choices, an annual external environmental audit is conducted. All the glass used at the plant is recycled from the redemption centre, all waste glass is crushed, and all cardboard is baled and recycled. These are just some of the examples of how the brewery vows to be environmentally friendly, and proudly play their part to be a leader in environmental sustainability.
This is another proud moment in our 224 year history of brewing Canada's favourite beers. Cheers to the team in Moncton, what an honourable and exciting achievement!

Are e-cigarettes really safer than tobacco, or is it a new way to get younger generations hooked o a bad habit? The answer is still unknown.
The popularity of e-cigarettes exceeds the research of its effects, so however popular they are becoming, the truth about their effects is still under investigation. Nevertheless, the industry keeps growing to a billion dollar proportions, probably heading towards outselling tobacco products in a decade, and to support that calculation is the fact that the number of e-cigarette users has doubled in just one year.
So it's safe to assume that now is the time to get fully informed about electronic cigarettes.
How E-Cigarettes Work
The term for using an electronic cigarette is known as vaping. E-cigarettes resemble real cigarettes. When you inhale the end lights up, and when you exhale, a cloud of vapor appears that resembles real smoke. Inside the e-cigarette is a battery, a nicotine cartridge that also holds liquids and flavorings, and a heating body. The cost varies depending on features such as whether they are disposable or have a battery that can be recharged.
Are They Safe
Just like real cigarette, the nicotine inside e-cigarette is also addictive, and after quitting withdrawal symptoms like depression, irritation, and anxiety may occur. It's also dangerous for people that have heart problems, as they harm the arteries.
However, evidence suggests that they are safer than regular cigarettes, since the tobacco smoke is the biggest threat, and e-cigarettes don't burn. Also, tests have shown that harmful chemicals in e-cigarettes are not as nearly as damaging and apparent as in regular cigarettes.
What Adults and Smokers Need to Know
If you are a non-smoker, but are considering vaping, don't. Chances are it might get you to start smoking tobacco, but even if it doesn't, there are no health benefits, but there are real risks.
If you want to quit smoking, it's better to use a nicotine patch or gum, since there is evidence that supports their effectiveness, and there is very little evidence for e-cigarettes.
However, if you wish to continue smoking, it might be safer to start using e-cigarettes, but it hasn't been proven yet. It would be best to speak to a professional.
What Parents Should Know
The nicotine affects brain development, and this is important since most e-cigarette users are in their teens and tweens. This is not unusual, since most e-cigarettes have various flavors such as candy to make them more appealing to younger population. Furthermore, unlike tobacco, they are odorless, so it's hard for parents to know if their child is vaping.
There is also much debate among experts on laws about e-cigarettes. FDA is proposing new regulations on tobacco products, and e-cigarettes are included. One of the proposed regulations is a minimum age requirement.
Pro and Con
There is a common goal for experts in reducing death and disease caused by tobacco. E-cigarettes have been a part of this goal, but it hasn't been settled whether they are helpful or not.
Those that are against e-cigarettes claim they are a gateway drug, and thus would attract children and it would result in a major step back in their fight against tobacco.
Others claim that, if smokers aren't able to quit all together, an e-cigarette is a safer alternative.
Even though more research needs to be done, so far results are promising that e-cigarettes could be beneficial. if you are looking for a safe and reliable place to purchase an e-cigarette, head over to http://bestecig.org.uk/

"When I see an empty table, I shudder a bit," he says. "There are times when minimalism can be the right thing. A table with one vase of flowers and one little accessory is thoughtful, while a gorgeous table with copies of Us and People magazines just looks neglectful."

|Senate takes on Speeders
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Friday, 25 May 2007 03:54
The Senate approved a measure that would limit how many times speeders could plead to a particular lesser charge.In a very swift vote of 49-1, the Senate agreed to only allow a driver to accept a lesser charge of "improper equipment" only twice in a five-year period. Drivers traveling over 30 mph above the speed limit would be ineligible for the lesser count. The bill also prevents judges from giving drivers prayers for judgment for citations more than 30 mph. The bill now heads to the House for consideration

11 U.S. Code § 723 - Rights of partnership trustee against general partners
(a) If there is a deficiency of property of the estate to pay in full all claims which are allowed in a case under this chapter concerning a partnership and with respect to which a general partner of the partnership is personally liable, the trustee shall have a claim against such general partner to the extent that under applicable nonbankruptcy law such general partner is personally liable for such deficiency.
(b) To the extent practicable, the trustee shall first seek recovery of such deficiency from any general partner in such partnership that is not a debtor in a case under this title. Pending determination of such deficiency, the court may order any such partner to provide the estate with indemnity for, or assurance of payment of, any deficiency recoverable from such partner, or not to dispose of property.
(c) The trustee has a claim against the estate of each general partner in such partnership that is a debtor in a case under this title for the full amount of all claims of creditors allowed in the case concerning such partnership. Notwithstanding section 502 of this title, there shall not be allowed in such partner's case a claim against such partner on which both such partner and such partnership are liable, except to any extent that such claim is secured only by property of such partner and not by property of such partnership. The claim of the trustee under this subsection is entitled to distribution in such partner's case under section 726 (a) of this title the same as any other claim of a kind specified in such section.
(d) If the aggregate that the trustee recovers from the estates of general partners under subsection (c) of this section is greater than any deficiency not recovered under subsection (b) of this section, the court, after notice and a hearing, shall determine an equitable distribution of the surplus so recovered, and the trustee shall distribute such surplus to the estates of the general partners in such partnership according to such determination.
Source(Pub. L. 95–598, Nov. 6, 1978, 92 Stat. 2606; Pub. L. 98–353, title III, § 476,July 10, 1984, 98 Stat. 381; Pub. L. 103–394, title II, § 212,Oct. 22, 1994, 108 Stat. 4125; Pub. L. 111–327, § 2(a)(26),Dec. 22, 2010, 124 Stat. 3560.)
Historical and Revision Notes
legislative statements
Section 723(c) of the House amendment is a compromise between similar provisions contained in the House bill and Senate amendment. The section makes clear that the trustee of a partnership has a claim against each general partner for the full amount of all claims of creditors allowed in the case concerning the partnership. By restricting the trustee's rights to claims of "creditors," the trustee of the partnership will not have a claim against the general partners for administrative expenses or claims allowed in the case concerning the partnership. As under present law, sections of the Bankruptcy Act [former title 11] applying to codebtors and sureties apply to the relationship of a partner with respect to a partnership debtor. See sections 501 (b), 502 (e), 506 (d)(2), 509, 524 (d), and 1301 of title 11.
senate report no. 95–989
This section is a significant departure from present law. It repeals the jingle rule, which, for ease of administration, denied partnership creditors their rights against general partners by permitting general partners' individual creditors to share in their estates first to the exclusion of partnership creditors. The result under this section more closely tracks generally applicable partnership law, without a significant administrative burden.
Subsection (a) specifies that each general partner in a partnership debtor is liable to the partnership's trustee for any deficiency of partnership property to pay in full all administrative expenses and all claims against the partnership.
Subsection (b) requires the trustee to seek recovery of the deficiency from any general partner that is not a debtor in a bankruptcy case. The court is empowered to order that partner to indemnify the estate or not to dispose of property pending a determination of the deficiency. The language of the subsection is directed to cases under the bankruptcy code. However, if, during the early stages of the transition period, a partner in a partnership is proceeding under the Bankruptcy Act [former title 11] while the partnership is proceeding under the bankruptcy code, the trustee should not first seek recovery against the Bankruptcy Act partner. Rather, the Bankruptcy Act partner should be deemed for the purposes of this section and the rights of the trustee to be proceeding under title 11.
Subsection (c) requires the partnership trustee to seek recovery of the full amount of the deficiency from the estate of each general partner that is a debtor in a bankruptcy case. The trustee will share equally with the partners' individual creditors in the assets of the partners' estates. Claims of partnership creditors who may have filed against the partner will be disallowed to avoid double counting.
Subsection (d) provides for the case where the total recovery from all of the bankrupt general partners is greater than the deficiency of which the trustee sought recovery. This case would most likely occur for a partnership with a large number of general partners. If the situation arises, the court is required to determine an equitable redistribution of the surplus to the estate of the general partners. The determination will be based on factors such as the relative liability of each of the general partners under the partnership agreement and the relative rights of each of the general partners in the profits of the enterprise under the partnership agreement.
2010—Subsec. (c). Pub. L. 111–327substituted "The trustee has" for "Notwithstanding section 728 (c) of this title, the trustee has".
1994—Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 103–394substituted "to the extent that under applicable nonbankruptcy law such general partner is personally liable for such deficiency" for "for the full amount of the deficiency".
1984—Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 98–353, § 476, substituted provisions that the trustee shall have a claim for the full amount of the deficiency against a general partner who is personally liable with respect to claims concerning partnerships which are allowed in a case under this chapter, for provisions that each general partner in the partnership would be liable to the trustee for the full amount of such deficiency.
Subsec. (c). Pub. L. 98–353, § 476(b), substituted "such partner's case" for "such case" in two places, "by property of such partnership" for "be property of such partnership", and "a kind specified in such section" for "the kind specified in such section".
Effective Date of 1994 Amendment
Amendment by Pub. L. 103–394effective Oct. 22, 1994, and not applicable with respect to cases commenced under this title before Oct. 22, 1994, see section 702 ofPub. L. 103–394, set out as a note under section 101 of this title.
Effective Date of 1984 Amendment
Amendment by Pub. L. 98–353effective with respect to cases filed 90 days after July 10, 1984, see section 552(a) ofPub. L. 98–353, set out as a note under section 101 of this title.

Archive for the 'Mitchell Motor Car Co.' tag
One-way ride: The murder of Billy Bate
Editor's note: In recent conversations with crime writer Rose Keefe, we learned that in 2008 she'd researched the murder of Billy Bate, the first man believed to have been murdered in an automobile. She has generously allowed us to share that story, taken from her pamphlet "The Bate Auto Murder."
In 1904, Americans regarded the automobile as more of a novelty item than a viable mode of transportation. "Horseless carriages" were impressive but impractical: Their intricate machinery was prone to breaking down and the wheels were easily damaged by unpaved roads. When Horatio Nelson Jackson completed his widely publicized drive across the continent in 1903, it was suggested that the automobile could be more than just a fad or rich man's hobby. But years would pass before cars replaced carriages on American streets and roads.
On the cold gray morning of November 19, 1904, the automobile acquired a sinister new use. A young chauffeur from Chicago became the first victim of the one-way ride, that form of motorized murder destined to depopulate the city's underworld during the 1920s and beyond.

Fitness programs abound, from yoga and Pilates to step aerobics and strength training — either at home or in a gym. So which type of fitness program is right for you? Ask yourself these questions to figure it out.
You probably have some idea of how fit you are. But assessing and recording baseline fitness scores can help you set your fitness goals and measure your progress. To assess your aerobic and muscular fitness, flexibility, and body composition, consider recording:
If you are age 50 or older, haven't exercised for some time, or have chronic medical conditions, such as diabetes or heart disease, it's a good idea to to consult your doctor before beginning an exercise program.
It's also good to keep in mind that as you age, impaired balance, decreased elasticity of tendons and other factors can limit your exercise capacity. Injuries also are more frequent, and recovery takes longer. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't exercise or that you won't benefit from it. Just be sure to seek input from your doctor or an exercise therapist about how to create a program that's appropriate for you.
Keeping your fitness level in mind, think about why you want to start a fitness program. Perhaps your doctor has suggested that you start a fitness program to lose weight. If you're already active, perhaps you want to rev up your fitness program to prepare for a 5K race or get ready for a favorite sport. Having clear goals can help you stay motivated.
Next, think about the types of physical activities you enjoy most. After all, a fitness program doesn't need to be drudgery. You're more likely to keep up with a fitness program you enjoy.
If you love riding your bicycle, consider a cycling class. If you have a blast on the dance floor, an aerobics class that includes dance moves would be a good bet. If you're a social person, a gym or health club membership may be the ticket. If you prefer to exercise alone or you find health clubs intimidating, exercises you can do at home may be best.
Aerobic activities should be the biggest chunk of your workout, but you also want to include muscle-strengthening activities such as working with weights or resistance bands. Cross-training, which is doing a variety of different exercises or activities, is a good way to keep exercise boredom at bay. Cross-training also reduces the risk of injuring or overusing one specific muscle or joint.
When you plan your fitness program, consider alternating among activities that emphasize different parts of your body — walking, swimming and strength training, for example.
Make sure your fitness choices are in line with your budget. If a gym membership or home exercise equipment is too pricey, consider cheaper options for getting in shape.
You can base a fitness program around brisk daily walks and inexpensive hand-held weights or resistance bands. Many recreation departments offer discounted fitness classes to local residents, and many schools open their pools to the public for inexpensive lap swimming. You might also consider buying used exercise equipment — or sharing the cost with a friend.
You've thought through your likes and dislikes and the pros and cons of various types of fitness programs. Now it's time to get physical. Start slowly and build up intensity gradually.
For most healthy adults, the Department of Health and Human Services recommends:
Remember, each workout puts you one step closer to reaching your fitness goals. If you get bored or lose interest in your fitness program, don't be afraid to try something new. Reassess your fitness level and set new fitness goals. The result? A future of improved fitness and better health.

Allright. According to lspci, your video card has a Cirrus Logic GD 5446 chipset. However, XFREE86 is trying to use the i810 driver. I'm no expert on this, and this might work, but you might want to try the "cirrus" driver instead.
According to the Linux Hardware Compatibility HOWTO the driver it uses is the cirrus. However, for all I know, the XFree86 team might have wanted to change that. Who knows.
I'd say, on a text editor, open /etc/X11/XF86Config, and look for the Device section that is referring to the i810 driver. Then, replace it with "cirrus"
Or, run xf86config and create a new XF86Config file.
xf86config would probably be your best bet. Do it from a console, as root user. Type the command, and follow the prompts. For most things it won't matter much what you answer, but make sure you choose the right video card driver!
ok guys. I wrote it to the file. I used xf86config as root. Once again. It won't let me shut down or restart my system. It logs off really fast. The menu where it should say sut down and restart it flashes and then logs off. I have to shut down my system illegally and i don't like that. Please reply back. Thanks trickster and everyone.
Can you post your /etc/X11/XF86Config file?

Dr. Timothy J. Pylko's Ratings
One of the best doctors (psychiatrists) I ever met! There is a lot of integrity, a great deal of knowledge, and a "big" heart! One can tell right away that what he does is more than a regular job, and much more than a career! As a mother of someone who struggles with mental illness, I was moved by his compassion and his patience with his "vulnerable" patient(s). He gave us (our family) hope and a plan for recovery during a trying and extremely difficult time in our lives. Thank you, Dr. Pylko!

I have been seeing dr pylko for 18 years. He has always been helpful and understanding. I would and have recomended him to friends.

Have been seeing him for 14 years because there's nowhere else to go. Does Not practice psychotherapy! He even get embarrassed by emotions! He'll see you for 10-15 minutes (he answers calls during this time), but really doesn't seem to care about what you're saying. Just wants to write you a prescription for some outrageously priced drugs and get you out the door so he can permit entry to the next patient in line.

I was introduced to Dr. Pyklo 10 years ago during a severe depression which resulted in 3 suicide attempts. Had I not found him and got on more effective medication for bipolar, I would have unassuredly died by saying with Kaiser.

Horrible!!! Made me wait for over an hour to see him for a new appointment. Office staff was rude when I asked how much longer he would be. Dr. Pylko seemed irritated when he finally saw me. Rushed through the appointment and didn't listen to my problems. He was so uncaring and rude to me that I cried all the way home afterwards. He should not be a psychiatrist. Stay away!

Dr. Pylko is the best psychiatrist that I have known in 24 years. He is professional and extremely caring about his patients.

Don't know why some people had a good experience with him, maybe he picks and chooses who he wants to be a good dr to. To me, he didn't seem to care at all, he suddenly started texting during our conversations and he didn't seem to be listening. He also didn't seem knowledgeable about much and I didn't feel comfortable with him as a dr.

Dr.Pylko is the best doctor I have ever seen. He is kind and very compassionate and always returns phones calls quickly! He was the first doctor out of many to diagnose me properly and provide the correct treatment. He was such a wonderful doctor I traveled two hours sometimes twice a month just to make my appointments. He was worth the 300 and some dollars per visit. Just recently I moved to Oregon and I realize how spoiled I was to have Dr.Pylko. If you are looking for the very best care I highly reccommend Dr. Timothy Pylko. He sets the standard for excellence!

I have seen many psychiatrists in my life and Dr. Pylko is without a doubt the best one I have ever had the opportunity to interact with. I am a difficult case to treat and have been on many medications that have failed or had too many side effects. He is the only one to prescribe a medication that worked and has little to no side effects. It is a medication that many doctors and pharmacists are unfamiliar with. He always exhibited genuine care and compassion for me. He even called me at home to check on my progress many times. I will forever be grateful for everything Dr. Pylko has done for me. He truly changed my life.

I consider myself lucky to have found Dr. Pylko and give him my highest recommendation. He treats his patients with respect, and is caring, compassionate and kind. Dr. Pylko is hands down one of the best people I know.

Rachel Scoggins drives to the basket against Spanish Fork earlier this season.
Junior Jordan Blanc goes up for a layup in the game against Juab on Friday.
The Carbon High boys and girls teams both suffered tough losses last week to Juab with the girls losing in overtime and the boys falling to defeat in the final minute of the game.
In the girls loss to Juab, Carbon had a 10 point lead head into the final quarter of the game. During the fourth quarter, Juab made a big comeback run that helped propel the team into overtime. In the extra period, the visitors made enough plays and hit foul shots down the stretch to help get the big road win, handing Carbon their first Region 12 loss of the season and ending Carbon's eight game winning streak.
However the Lady Dinos got back to business on Tuesday night against region opponent North Sanpete with a 72-47 win.
In the first half, North Sanpete and Carbon battled back and forth to a 24-24 tie heading into halftime. After halftime the Lady Dinos picked things up doubling their 24 points in the first half with 24 points in the third quarter to take a 13 point lead into the fourth quarter.
It was a departure from their previous games where the team has experienced problems in getting their offense going on a consistent basis in the second half.
The Carbon High girls (15-4, 8-1 Region 12) continued to pull away in the fourth quarter outscoring North Sanpete 26-12 en route to the 72-47 win.
Senior Amanda Freestone led the Lady Dinos with 24 points. Seniors Rachel Scoggins and Miranda Averett added 17 and 13 points respectively.
After a tough 62-59 loss to Juab on Friday night, the Carbon High boys team bounced back with a 66-54 win over North Sanpete.
Junior Jordan Blanc scored a team-high 26 points to help lead Carbon to the important region victory. Senior Tanner Gagnon added 14 and junior Dakota Cisneros had 10 on the night.
The Carbon High boys (11-8, 4-5 Region 12) now sit alone in fourth place, moving one game ahead of North Sanpete in the Region 12 standings.
Both the Carbon High boys and girls teams will be playing their final home games of the season against Delta before state tournament play begins. The girls will play Delta tonight and the boys will play on Friday night. Both games are scheduled to start at 7 p.m. at the CHS gymnasium.

At this festive time of year we have a chance to reflect on the year past and look forward to renewed challenges of the new year. It's time to pass along a little of the holiday spirit…like this small tree that my wife and I and neighbours decorate along one of the dog walking paths to put a smile on the face of passers by… (hey Torontonians…if you can tell me where it is I will even provide some samples for a holiday party to the first "six" to shout it out…cheers).
Thanks to all who partner with us in the community, to our business partners that help us bring the best in sport and entertainment to our beer drinkers and to our customers who help purvey our beers to those who thirst for our quality brews. A toast to our employees who ensure that quality, one case at a time…for over 225 years here in Canada ! To our fleet drivers that get the product to market.

Please be sure to make responsible choices this holiday season and all the best for 2012. Cheers! @MolsonFerg

Dallas wrote:THE MATURITY PRAYER
God, Grant me the maturity
to accept what I'm feeling
and the courage to correct
the actions that I took
that made me feel this way.
Here is the deal.
I'm sober. I have a sponsor. I'm active in A.A. I'm going through the steps with my sponsor. I don't feel like I'm changing or growing fast enough.
I wasn't sure if I should post my message in this forum or the relationship forum because it deals with being single and relationships.
I'm constantly getting my feelings hurt whenever I even think about dating or relationships.
I know that it's my thoughts that are hurting my feelings. It's not something that someone else is doing to me and I'm not a victim.
My sponsor has suggested that I get more mature before I start dating sober. She is right.
I gave this guy my phone number and thought that he was going to call me. I wasn't going to date yet. Just talk for now. He didn't call. Now I'm feeling rejection. My head is telling me all kinds of stuff and I keep listening to it. I keep thinking about this guy all the time and every time my phone rang I thought it would be him calling me. Now I feel lonely, rejected, not good enough, and I'm pissed at him for not calling me so I have a resentment. I feel like buddy you don't know what you just missed out on. I keep hoping he will call. This is like stupid and childish. If I had dated the guy and he didn't call me then I would be on a real emotional bender!
I see why my sponsor says that I'm not mature enough to date yet.
My question is this Does anyone else go through this? I'm struggling with it. I don't feel like it is ever going to change for me. I also see how before sobriety this was a pattern for me. I would feel insecure and worthless and inadequate and when someone I was interested in didn't show mutual interest I got pissed off at them and even felt like getting revenge for it because it hurt so bad. Then I would end up in a club drinking and dancing the night away to prove that I was attractive and didn't need the jerks anyway.
It sucks because I don't think I'm ever going to get over this. I feel like the longer I have been sober the more sensitive that I am getting. I know that I can't be happy with this crap going on in my head.
How do I get it to stop? What do I do? Will I ever get over it? I can't sleep tonight because my head is crawling around like bugs inside my brain eating away with crazy thoughts.
I hope that this too shall pass but I have my doubts about it passing. I won't drink tonight and I will call my sponsor later today but right now I just feel all afraid. When I was doing my fourth step I think I remember my sponsor asking me about this but I told her no that I never felt this way. Moment of clarity? ####!

MALONE - A Potsdam woman was sent to state prison on Tuesday for selling Suboxone in 2011.
Savanna Buckson, 30, formerly of Malone, was sentenced to three years in a state correctional facility and two years of post-release supervision for a fourth-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance conviction. She was also ordered to pay $100 restitution by Franklin County Court Judge Robert G. Main Jr. on Tuesday: .
A grand jury indictment handed up on May 24 accused her of selling Suboxone, as well as possessing the drug with the intent to sell it on Nov. 18, 2011. Suboxone is prescribed to treat opiate addiction, but has seen increased rates of abuse in recent years.

International Links
Birmingham has a long history of international links. These links have, over time, produced practical benefits to the citizens and organisations of our city. Through meaningful collaboration across a wide spectrum of educational, business, citizen, voluntary, sporting and cultural interactions, valuable contributions have been made to what is now a vibrant outward-looking modern city.
As the "Global village" becomes ever smaller, where multi-national corporations undertake increased cross-border trading and communications, and enormous numbers of people travel further and faster, there is an obvious need to engage with other countries. We can learn a lot from engagement with the wider world. The exchange of information, best practice and business can do much to enhance our city and its Council.
As Birmingham becomes synonymous with a multi racial and multi cultural city, recognition has to be given to the heritage of its citizens with origins in Bangladesh, India, Jamaica and Pakistan.
In all its European and international work, Birmingham City Council strives to achieve practical outcomes where added value and positive benefits result. Consequently the City Council prioritises its activities and cities with which to work to maximise the benefits to Birmingham.
Crucial to Birmingham's international activities is its engagement with its partner cities of Chicago (USA), Frankfurt and Leipzig (Germany), Johannesburg (South Africa), Lyon (France) and Milan (Italy).
In November 2004 Birmingham signed a Treaty of Friendship with Guangzhou (China), formerly known as Canton, to further enhance its international role and to complement existing Partner City activities.

Not that its a wonderful option, but you can always use tab to search in chrome. Nifty feature I just read about here: http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/answer.py?answer=95655
I use firefox stripped down to the bare interface, so I just ctrl-k to bring up a google search page.

I don't store my information in a phone book, and even if I did, it doesn't have my birthdate alongside pictures of me alongside a publicly accessible list of my acquaintances. The issue is too much information being available to be cross-referenced by ME all in one place. Yes, there are CERTAIN people I would love to share that information with, however facebook has shown quite clearly that they don't respect my wishes on that, so I don't keep much information on there.
I use my Android constantly with airplane mode turned on and wifi turned back on since the cdma radio is such a hog. I never run into any app that doesn't work as expected based on this setup.
I don't have to pay per view with netflix instant, hulu, espn3, nor any of the other streaming services I use.
You mean shutter glasses like the exact technology that is being pushed into the consumer market right now, yes?
I would have to fork over $1000/year to Comcast to "turn on HBO". Why would I do that, compressed or not? The series all come out on DVD/BD eventually, and $108/yr to Netflix, is a lot better. Especially when you spend your comment digging on it, why the hell would you pay for that crap?
And add to that I've got a $30 replacement DVD drive coming in the mail for my Xbox360 that the wife is currently streaming a marathon of 24 in "HD" off of Netflix Instant, and we're happy as clams 2 generations behind.
I won't get a 3D set if I don't replace the 720p DLP rear projection set I've got sitting in my living room, or if I make the plunge into my preferred front projector setup that constantly has new midrange hardware getting better and better at the $1000 price point. I can very easily avoid 3D just as I've avoided BluRay and all the other hyped up crap.
Midrange is now King. People have seriously woken up in this recession that the premium for "cutting edge" isn't worth it, nor is the unplanned format abandon-ware (HD-DVD anyone?).
Then again, I build my own network storage, my own htpc's, and roll my own pvr and media streamer, so maybe I'm not the perfect demographic. But I know one person with a 1080p set, and he's 25 and fresh into a good paying job, so he's a fairly strange case. I'm 30, have plenty of cash if I wanted to buy these things, but just don't see the point.
You just used a lot of words to say that they don't really do much aside from cripple that data you're trying to use for SIP calls by prioritizing their own traffic above it. I don't bother with the cell network at all, as I'm pretty much always near wifi, and over a standard network, SIP call quality is fantastic. Over 3G, it sucks, and its only because of "QoS" crippling.
Here's a very edifying collection of those statistics. The "libertarians" amongst us are actually receiving the most benefit from our socialist policies, while the "socialists" amongst us are actually those that are quite self sufficient.

You're leaving out one important (to me) detail about that setup. SD fullscreen flash runs like CRAP on my lowpower dual core AMD HTPC under Linux. Boxee is totally hamstrung by this, but MythTV can decode full HD on the fly in the gpu, h.264. Flash is completely hamstringing my setup from doing what I would like it to for No Good Reason. I have a hardware h.264 decoder in my gpu. I can use it to playback local file beautifully and no, the "latest flash" doesn't play them back using my hardware and the OS that does what I want with the rest of the hardware.

Tommy Coleman, 11, of Sebastian, flies off the top of a wave while surfing at Sebastian Inlet State Park on Tuesday afternoon. Coleman, who started surfing at age 3, started competing in 2009 at age 5. "I saw my dad do it (surfing) and then I wanted to try it," said Coleman. "It just stuck."
Tommy Coleman, 11, puts one of his surfboards behind his bed after talking about the variety of local, as well as national sponsors he has backing him in competitions. "Hawaii was the best," said Tommy, who was sent on a trip to the surfing mecca by sponsor Billabong. "It was super fun." Coleman now how his eyes set on making a trip to surf in Bali, Indonesia.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Bob McCarthy, political columnist and reporter with the Buffalo News, appeared on Daybreak Sunday to give his thoughts on the latest poll in the 27th District Congressional race that is still a dead heat.
The poll, commissioned by 2 On Your Side and the Buffalo News, showed Republican Chris Collins leading Democratic Congresswoman Kathy Hochul 48% to 47%, well within the 4% margin of error.
