Just in the nick of time!
WOW! I can't believe it has been this long since I have posted. The good news....I AM BACK! We finished our sunflower harvest yesterday.....yes...just in the nick of time. This is what we have going on around here right now!
These pictures are of the grain bagger we used to expedite our sunflower harvest. Usually what we do when we are harvesting is dump the combines into a grain cart which then dumps into one of our semi trailers and then the trucks take the grain to store in grain bins....well....to speed up the process this year we dumped the combines into the graincart....which dumped into a bagger. Theses giant bags just lay in the field until you want to take the grain to the elevator. This process makes harvesting MUCH faster as you elimate the trucks and the trucking to the bin site. Each bag holds 10,000 bushels of sunflowers and they seal air tight so that the grain will not spoil!!
I need to work on orders from my website and finish decorating for Christmas. I will be visiting each and every one of you to see what I have missed! I have really missed knowing what you all have been up too!! I would love if you left me a comment and told me what you have been up too!

Recap: The Conversation That Al Trautwig and Mats Zuccarello Just Had
In the second intermission on MSG, Al Trautwig and Mats Zuccarello had a conversation. This is close to a word for word recap of how the conversation went.
- Al: "You must feel like you are in a groove tonight"
- Zucc: "I feel comfortable with my linemates, my body feels good and it's going great"
- Al: "Key thing, your mom is in town…does she actually cook for you?"
- Zucc: "Oh yea"
- Al: "What is her specialty?"
- Zucc: "Norwegian food. Yesterday I just come home after practice and lie on my couch…."
- Al: "Is it fish, is it meatballs?"
- Zucc: "It's a meatloaf kind of stuff from back home"
- Al: "What does she put in the meatloaf?"
- Zucc: "It's a secret…secret ingredients"
- Al: "So you just lay on the couch and she does all the cooking?"
- Zucc: "She does all the cooking, she puts out my clothes, she does everything for me."
- Al: "So it's like it was when you were a little kid?"
- Zucc: "I'm spoiled when my mom is in town"
- Al: "So you take advantage when your mom is in town?"
- Zucc: "Of course"
- Al: ….I'm just kidding…does it bother you when play as hard as you have been playing and the puck doesn't go in the net?
- Zucc: Sometimes it's frustrating but at the same time as long as you keep creating it will come. As long as the team wins you don't get frustrated but when you lose and you miss some chances thats when you feel bad.
- Al: Did you feel like you were playing with fire when it was 1-0 and Hank had to make some saves?
- Zucc: It's a dangerous game. We have the puck a lot, a lot of chances and Hanky doesn't have a lot to do but he is sharp when they get into our zone.
- Al: Go home and clean up your room, don't make your mom do it
- Zucc: After the game I will do it (smiling)

Students advised of football traffic impact after Thanksgiving break
Penn State students returning on Saturday, Nov. 27, to the University Park campus from the Thanksgiving week break are advised that the home football game that day will significantly impact traffic routes. University Police recommend that students returning to residence halls on Nov. 27 avoid using Park Avenue at the Interstate 99-Route 322 interchange. One-way patterns on game days will cause residence hall traffic to be redirected. To avoid these issues, students should use East College Avenue and North Atherton Street to access campus.

Catholic World News - October 26, 2012

Stop toxic cancer-causing chemicals from seeping into the Raritan River!
In suburban New Jersey, a toxic, cancer-causing chemical seep draining into the Raritan River from the 80-year old American Cyanamid Superfund Site and posing a great health risk to residents. Contact your elected officials today and tell them to urge the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) to stop the toxic seep.
This 575-acre site sits adjacent to the Delaware and Raritan Canal, which provides drinking water to hundreds of thousands of people in the surrounding area. Insist that the USEPA's temporary solution of erecting carbon-bags and hay bales along the bank to "catch" the seeps is not an acceptable treatment. Send a letter to your elected officials asking them to contact the USEPA to make the responsible party, Pfizer, a billion dollar pharmaceutical company, fully remediate the onsite lagoons that are causing this potential health hazard. They must take immediate action to remove the toxic chemicals draining into our regional resource, the Raritan River, the longest river solely in New Jersey.
The 575-acre site sits directly adjacent to the longest river solely in New Jersey, as well as the Delaware and Raritan Canal, which is used for drinking water for hundreds of thousands of families in the surrounding area. The USEPA recently discovered benzene, a toxic carcinogen known to potentially cause damage to the immune system, oral cancer, and leukemia on the American Cyanamid Superfund Site at 20,000 times the acceptable federal standard.
The site's leaking chemical lagoons, known as lagoons 1 and 2, must be cleaned up immediately. Please tell the USEPA that erecting a temporary Band-Aid of carbon bags and hay bales along the bank to "catch" the seeps is not acceptable. Additionally, I ask that you request the USEPA to require the site's Responsible Party, Pfizer, a billion dollar pharmaceutical company, to fully remediate the on-site historic lagoons from this leaking toxic waste site that is causing this potential health hazard.
This site cleanup has been languishing for over two decades, and it is time for USEPA to take serious action. In order to protect the health and safety of families that utilize this area for recreation, the source of this contamination must be addressed immediately. For the bikers, hikers, fisherman and kayakers, for the osprey, bald eagles, turtles and trout, please urge USEPA to make this site cleanup a top priority and to take immediate action to remove the toxic chemicals draining into our regional resource, the Raritan River. Thank you for your timely assistance on this important environmental issue.

Editorial Endorsement: Indian River County School Board, District 4
RACE: Indian River County School Board
SEAT: District 4
PARTY: Non-partisan
• Claudia Jimenez, 44, Vero Beach
• Charles Wilson, 57, Vero Beach
PRIMARY RESULTS: Jimenez, 33.15 percent of 24,686 votes cast; Wilson, 29.94 percent; Ann Reuter (incumbent), 22.53 percent; Guy Barber, 14.38 percent.
KEY ISSUES: School Board's role as policymaker, academic performance of district, fiscal responsibility, employee morale, gifted education, charter schools.
WHY WE ENDORSED: The choice for this race is as clear as it was for the primary: Claudia Jimenez offers the level-headed commitment and thoughtful approach that's required to boost the performance of the School Board.
Additions of Matt McCain and Jimenez could provide taxpayers and parents with the most intelligent and energetic board in many years. Jimenez's academic background — including degrees from Cornell and Queens (Ontario) universities — gives her the tools to research and understand the scholastic challenges facing the district.
Her composure in the four-way editorial board interview before the primary stood out. While others, including opponent Charles Wilson, rambled or picked fights, Jimenez stayed above the fray, and remained focused in a measured manner. Her ability to thoughtfully process and analyze competing interests is apparent in her balanced approach to district concerns — be they fiscal or academic or interpersonal.
Jimenez recognizes that the district's administration has long been "top-heavy" and credits Superintendent Harry La Cava with reining in costs. That said, she said she was disappointed in the board's decision to pay him almost $100,000 in sick time accrued in Broward County.
Jimenez is realistic about academic shortcomings, giving the district an overall "C," in contrast with the "A" rating bestowed by the state this year. "Where's the critical thinking?" Jimenez asks. Indeed.
Mother of two Vero Beach High School students, Jimenez has been involved in a parents' gifted-education task force and rightly calls the district's delivery of gifted services "feeble."
WHY WE DIDN'T ENDORSE: While Wilson is the strongest candidate on charter schools, but he has reason to be: He helped represent Imagine Charter Schools in that company's efforts to bring two campuses here.
Wilson, as he showed with his advocacy for Imagine, is a professional spin-meister. He has carefully framed at least a part of the debate in this race as a left-right battle over sex education in the schools. His only hope to win, for his credentials just aren't there, is to convince the public that he's the conservatives' knight in shining armor to the liberals' Maleficent. His supporters have gone so far as to question Jimenez's religious beliefs. Talk about dirty pool.
Wilson's polarizing spin is evident in other campaigns he has been involved in this year, including Cathy Hart's personal, ugly, ill-fated effort to oust the supervisor of elections. Despite his populist palaver, Wilson isn't so much a serious School Board candidate as he is a political operative dabbling in other election campaigns.
ON THE RECORD: In response to opposition claims that Jimenez will try to do away with the district's abstinence sex-education policy, she said it's not in her "purview" or her "agenda" or "intent."
"It's not imperative that there be reform," she said, noting that school professionals are on the front lines of such curriculum and should suggest changes, but only if necessary.
Interestingly, Reuter's opponents four years ago claimed she would push a liberal social agenda on the board. Opponents of pro-life candidate Craig McGarvey made similar claims before he was elected to two terms. Both steered clear of personal dogma in their board tenures. There's no reason to think Jimenez would be different.
Jimenez says: "(At a recent union negotiation) I perceived an "us vs. them" mentality that benefits no one, least of all students. I would strive to improve the relationship between the district and the union by encouraging both to stay focused on their common goal: educating students." Her priorities: 1. Stop wasting money. 2. Increase transparency and communication with parents and community. 3. Assess vocational programs.

Sebastian Vettel refused to accept that his bid for the Formula One title is over, despite suffering an engine failure during yesterday's European Grand Prix, the second race in a row that the German has failed to finish.
"A tough day for us I'd say," said Vettel after exiting the race in Valencia on lap 24. Despite the non-finish though, the title-chasing Red Bull racing star insisted his championship quest isn't over.
"I'll fight until the last breath, of that there's no doubt," he said. "But on days like this… if you are in a hunting position and want to get more points than you opponent and you're in that position and then you fail to finish, well it's not good is it?"
In truth Vettel's race had effectively run its course after his first stop. A fuel rig problem left his car dry enough to require an immediate return for more fuel and the second stop dropped him to 16th and out of contention. If that failure was costly, the next, his second engine blow up of the weekend could prove even more damaging.
'I don't know what caused it, maybe I'm a killer' - Sebastian Vettel
Drivers have an allocation on just eight fresh engines to last the whole season and after blowing a powerplant in practice on Saturday morning and several more over the course of the season so far, the race day failure now leaves Vettel with a dwindling supply and six races still to run.
"The biggest problem was definitely the first stop," he said. "We didn't get enough fuel in and had to come in again and then the race was lost. Then a couple of laps in I had the problem with the engine, or maybe an exhaust, we are not sure, so, yeah, not good.
"I don't know what caused it, maybe I'm a killer! Maybe I'm using full throttle too much," he concluded. "I don't know, but for sure it doesn't make it any easier for the future."
Team principal Christian Horner top lamented the failure. "We had a fuel rig problem and Vettel had to stop again, then another engine failure which caused his retirement. Expensive failure! He's still in the championship until mathematically it's impossible but with the
possiblity of only two engines left until the end of the season it's going to be hard."
Renault's principal engineer, track support Fabrice Lom admitted it had been a "black weekend" for Red Bull Racing's engine supplier. "This race ended a nightmare weekend for us," he said. "We had two engine failures on Sebastian's car, so it's a black weekend.
"I can only apologise to Red Bull Racing and Sebastian in particular for this reliability issue and assure them that we will work as hard as possible to ensure it doesn't happen again. But, the end of the season will now be tough on the engine side for Sebastian."

Register of Deeds updates county commissioners
About 25 percent more refinancing agreements are being filed with the county registry of deeds than last year at this time, and that's a hopeful sign for Register of Deeds Jack Meade.
"I'm looking for green shoots," Meade told the county commissioners Sept. 2. He said refinancing activity might indicate that banks are becoming more comfortable about lending.
With the market in stasis or declining, banks find it difficult to obtain accurate appraisals, which are in part based on comparable sales.
"In the late 1980s and early '90s," said Meade, "the beginning of the turnaround began with mortgage refinancing activity." The Cape market wound up the old century on a high note, with 1999 being the registry's busiest year of sales activity.
Counterbalancing the tenuous sign of market restoration is the specter of further foreclosures.
"The rate of foreclosures has picked up a little in the last two months," Meade said. "The next wave of foreclosures, if it happens, will affect people who weathered that storm but now are facing job loss."
Meade said that Cape foreclosures, which had been concentrated in Hyannis and parts of Yarmouth, "are now more spread out" and include higher-priced properties.
Report from the Registry
The county-wide volume of real estate sales in August was down 7.8 percent from August 2008.
The total value of sales was down 8 percent and the median individual property sale value was down 1.6 percent from the previous year. There was a 28.1 percent increase in the volume of mortgage activity from August 2008 levels.
Year to date, sales volume is down 20.5 percent, total sales value is down 33.7 percent, individual sales value is down 7.1 percent and mortgage volume is up 26.1 percent.
There were 40 foreclosure deeds recorded at the Registry, down from 48 in August 2008. Year to date, the Registry has processed 316 foreclosure deeds, a 25.6 percent decrease from 2008 figures.
There were 452 deeds recorded at the Registry county-wide in August, Meade reported, representing a stated value of $181,103,856 in real estate sales. The median sale price of property in Barnstable County in August was $295,150.
There were 1,211 mortgages recorded with values above $50,000 in August with a total value of $349,308,587. The median mortgage amount, commercial, residential or other, was $226,000.
By way of comparison, there were 490 deeds recorded at the Registry county-wide in August 2008 representing a stated value of $196,857,756 in real estate sales.
The median sale price of property a year ago was $300,000.
There were 975 mortgages recorded in the county a year ago with a total value of $284,760,785. The median mortgage amount, commercial, residential or other for August 2008 was $223,000.
All values are based on transactions in excess of $50,000.

But I thought I would share some holiday thoughts and how they relate to the agent waiting-game.
In order to avoid the December "Reject-a-NaNo-Novel-Extravaganza", I made sure that I sent out my initial queries for Project Muffin Man in early November. The manuscript is *not* a NaNo endeavor (though its sequel is) and was ready to go after being thoroughly beta-read, revised, proofread by several people, and tweaked as necessary.
At this point, all one can do is wait patiently. Will I send out another batch of queries this year? Oh my gosh, no. First of all, it would be distressing enough to have my manuscript lumped in with the plethora of NaNo first drafts that are certainly not query-ready, yet authors send out to agents anyhow.
Second, the holidays are coming. I think it best to wait until the New Year to wait and see what results my queries yield, before I move forward. Not enough time has passed for me to even know if I need to send out additional queries, so I believe that waiting until after the New Year is the most intelligent thing to do.
What is a writer to do?
Why, keep writing, of course.
Read something you enjoy (I am truly enjoying Dearly, Departed, and cannot wait to share my thoughts about it).
Listen to music (right now "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" is playing...).
Prepare for Thanksgiving. I just went food shopping today. Since we don't eat bird whatsoever, we are having fish (flounder), with all the traditional "fixins". Growing up in Massachusetts, that meant stuffing, mashed potatoes, corn, butternut squash, sweet potatoes (which we both hate and will *not* be having), cranberry sauce, cranberry bread (something I prefer to make from scratch, but I haven't found cranberries here - I cry heresy! My bog-owning great-grandparents are turning in their graves), corn bread, mixed nuts for a pre-lunch snack, and pumpkin pie for dessert. (Well, apple pie too, but I don't care for it.)
Since I am a Mayflower descendant (many times over), Thanksgiving is quite meaningful to me. In our family, it was always a secular celebration of culture and heritage. We would get together and eat. There was no "I am thankful for..." It was just, "Uncle Larry! Grandma! Grandpa!", with hugs all around, followed by an amazing meal. I miss those days, so this time of year always brings back good memories of growing up in Massachusetts.
Get your holiday cards ready. Mine are usually addressed, stamped and mailed out the Monday after Thanksgiving. I'm just that good. ;)
Prepare for December. For me, December is one long month of Important Day after Important Day. It looks like this:
December 3 - my son's birthday. He's going to be nine this year. Nine? NINE! Whoa...
December 7 - my birthday or, as my dad puts it, the day my mother dropped the bomb. *groan*
December 21 - Yule, the winter solstice. That is our holiday, since we are Pagan.
December 23 - our wedding anniversary. This year is our first (d'aww).
December 25 - that's Christmas, right? Just kidding! Though our spiritual/religious celebration is on the Solstice, we open gifts on the 25th.
Looking at all of that, I feel that querying should be the last thing on my mind. If I am fortunate enough to receive a request for a partial or full, I am well aware that the manuscript is ready to go. However, I am not going to hold my breath.
Instead, I'm going to relax, enjoy this time of year, and continue working on the projects I have on the table now.
However, if you are in the "waiting club" with me, you will find empathy here. ;)

Ollie on jumps??
Hey guys, I got a question. When you are just doing jumps on the side of runs on the mountain for example, are you guys actually popping an ollie before leaving the ledge or do you just ride off of it? Just curious...
pop that shit man!
It depends. I'll ollie off a roller, but I'll generally pop off of a drop. Just do whatever works for you.
33 Attachment(s)
When on steeper stuff, and pointed down the hill I do a quick pop. On flat stuff I ollie, if there is a roller i do either, both are fun.
Thanks for the replies guys! I will definitely try it out this Sunday!
You always want to either ollie or pop because it sets your trajectory and makes you more stable in the air, so long as you know how to do it with the proper timing.

Gophers Conclude Fall Season with Sixth Place Finish in Las Vegas
Oct. 23, 2012
The University of Minnesota women's golf team finished the 2012 fall season by finishing sixth at the Las Vegas Collegiate Showdown. The Gophers combined to shoot a 298 during the final round, their lowest round of the tournament. Minnesota's 54-hole card of 902 was just eight shots off the lead.
Minnesota will head into the spring season with a team record of 43-17 (.717). Up to date statistics can be found here.
Laguna will enter the spring season with a season average of 73.66, the second-lowest fall average in the history of the program. Former Minnesota great Teresa Puga established the record with a 73.25 in the fall of 2010.
Junior Banchalee Theinthong contributed a season-low in Las Vegas with a 54-hole score of 222. She finished in a tie for ninth place, the second top-10 finish of her collegiate career. Senior Jackie Shepherd finished in a tie for 42nd place while Sarinee Thitiratanakorn and Anna Laorr each finished in a tie for 49th place.
Indiana won the team title with a score of 894, three shots ahead of the University of Central Florida. The host UNLV Rebels took third while Missouri and Penn State finished fourth and fifth, respectively. Mississippi State's Ally McDonald and the Hoosier's Elizabeth Tong shared medalist honors with identical cards of 214.
Minnesota will be off for four months until opening up the spring season on Feb. 18-19 at the Central District Invitational in Florida.

Labor leader Shelly Yachimovich and Yesh Atid head Yair Lapid compete for coveted status • They court Meretz head Zehava Gal-On, who agrees to let both candidates speak to her party • Opposition chairman gets high salary and other perks.
Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid and Labor leader Shelly Yachimovich have made significant efforts in recent days to persuade the heads of Meretz, Hadash and the Arab parties to support their bid for opposition chairman.
According to law, the head of the largest party in the opposition is usually appointed opposition leader, but Knesset members who did not join the coalition can also support another candidate, even if that candidate is not from the largest party.
After the Yesh Atid party (19 MKs) discovered that Labor (15 MKs) asked for the support of Meretz and the Arab parties, Lapid himself on Tuesday approached Meretz head Zehava Gal-On and asked for her party to support him as opposition leader.
Gal-On promised Lapid and Yachimovich that she would allow them both to appear before the members of her party in an attempt to persuade them.
Gal-On is inclined to support Yachimovich, as are the National Democratic Assembly and Ra'am-Ta'al parties. Under these circumstances, Hadash could cast the deciding vote. Should Meretz, Hadash and the Arab parties vote for Yachimovich, she would have the support of 32 Knesset members, while Lapid would be supported only by the 19 members of his party.
The opposition leader receives special status under law. The prime minister is required to summon him at least once a month for a meeting to brief him on all diplomatic issues. The opposition head is also granted the privilege of making a speech in the Knesset plenary immediately after the prime minister at every Knesset event or debate. He or she also has a special role in state ceremonies and a salary equal to that of a government minister.

A happy 2010 to everyone!
Well you'll no doubt have noticed that there hasn't been too many posts over the last couple of weeks on TD.
Tell you the truth we've been celebrating a bit too much hic hic! And now the new year is but a few hours away :-) What will it bring in the ESL world? Who knows.
Anyway, just time enough for me to say happy new year to all and lets hope it's a good one! See you soon in 2010!

Elt communications / English plus in fraud accusation shock!
It has come to light of just recent that certain franchisees of the now defunct ELT communications / English plus company have accused the franchiser of fraud. For...
Not providing fully qualified English instructors as stated in their contract!
There were also complaints by franchise owners of...
Lying to the franchisees and saying that they held a license from the ministry of education.
Failing to provide decent qualified replacement teachers for those absent or on leave(visa run)
Employing teachers who showed up drunk to classes, and never sorting out the problems.
It was revealed that the franchiser who never held a license from the Thai ministry of education had simply made up the curriculum!
Well the cat has well and truly been let out of the bag for ELT communications / English+ wonder what the next move will be? Mr M on charges and doing a bit of porridge? All in all a really sad end to a company that had shown great potential in the early days.

ELT /English+ language school Thailand closes it's doors?
Over the past year or so many companies globally have been feeling the pinch of the world recession. However, education has always been one of those industries that tends not to get touched by global and economic crises. Unless of course you run a private language agency that relies on students who pay for their study off of their own backs.When the going gets tough the purse strings get tightened and English lessons fly out of the window!
It certainly looks like one of the bigger players in the Thailand ELT business has felt the financial squeeze more than the rest. However, for veteran teachers of the Thai ESL scene ELT communications also known as English+ was a disaster waiting to happen for many years now.
The company was founded in 2002 by a Mr Manoch who has quite a reputation here in Bangkok's ESL industry. Mention his name to some teachers/school owners here and you'd get some very mixed replies,of which probably are unprintable here.
The company started up way back in 2002, and quickly grew into a tour de force language school. Mr Manoch and his partner Miss Bun or Chutina as she's known built up quite a lot of contracts with government schools in and around the Bangkok area.
They also started up lots of E+ franchise branches around Bangkok and upcountry. At one point in time 2002-2005 there was literally an E+ branch on every corner throughout the city. This gave the impression to the uninitiated that English+ / elt communications was a winning business. What with all those branches and government school contracts, it really did look impressive.
So what went wrong for English+ & Kun Manoch
It's really hard to state exactly what went wrong, though there is and always was plenty of speculation flying around. Tales of franchise E+ branch owners being ripped off, government schools unhappy with the English+ management and some E+ teachers. However there were always stories circulating around English+ that they were about to go bankrupt even as far back as 2003.
ELT communications the incredible shrinking company
One thing that any keen observer on the inside would have noticed about English+ is that normally you start up a business and grow it! Your business expands, sometimes you start up small and then get new customers and it all goes from there.
No, not ELT communications! English+ was the exception to this business rule! They started off BIG! As each year passed they increasingly got smaller. They were losing school contracts like it was going out of fashion. Well school contracts in this business are very lucrative! Your bread and butter so to speak. Once again speculation abounds to why this may have been!
ELT communications where did it all go pear shaped?
Was it the business practices of Mr Manoch and his partner Chutima?
Was it the way they treated their staff teachers?
Or was ELT communications / English plus really a victim of the recession?
The English+ website is down and we've tried to contact Mr Manoch for an exclusive interview on this site, but alas to no avail yet. Mr Manoch has done a lord Lucan. Maybe one day he'll come back and grace us with his presence again.

Qualifications for teaching English?
What are the best qualifications for teaching English in Thailand?
Well it depends on what type of job your looking for doesn't it? Most teacher travelers tend to have a tefl certificate, and having an accredited tefl certificate from a decent tefl course provider will go along way. However, having said that anything with tefl written on it will in most cases suffice!
If you have a degree as well then that adds a lot more weight to your tefl certificate and you also fit the legal teacher requirments in order to get yourself legal and get a work permit!
How can I be taken seriously in the tefl world?
Well if you want to make a career out of teaching English and you want to rise above being just a mere tefler with or without a degree then you're going to have to start thinking about getting some heavy duty teaching qualifications! Don't get me wrong here having an accredited tefl certificate is good and will open a lot of doors for you but if you want to hit the teaching big time you should really be considering taking a pgce.
What's a PGCE when it's at home?
Pgce stands for post graduate certificate in education. Now before you go jumping to any conclusions and wanting to sign up for one of these courses lets just examine the "pg" bit here. Pg = post graduate, so that means you already need to be a graduate and have some sort of degree before you go on this course!
So where can I take a pgce?
Don't do a pgce course search check out a good pgce provider first! The university of southern Queensland Australia.
Duration of the pgce course?
The course is one year full time and two years if you take the part time option.
requirements for pgce
What are the requirements for thev pgce? A three year B.A from a recognized university.
Pgce costs?
It varies from university to university.
One last word here. Get yourself a pgce and the ESL teaching world is literally your oyster!

1. America is good. 2. I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life. 3. I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday. 4. The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government. 5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it. 6. I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results. 7. I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable. 8. It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion. 9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me.
12 Values
* Honesty * Reverence * Hope * Thrift * Humility * Charity *Sincerity * Moderation * Hard Work * Courage * Personal Responsibility * Gratitude We believe that as these 9/12 are restored, we will see the foundation of our country be strengthened and the leaders like George Washington, will become servants of the people, doing the right things for the country, not the other way around.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - The Obama administration stressed again Friday that it has no plans to send U.S. combat troops to Iraq. "There are many challenges facing the people of Iraq right now and it is the view of the president that those problems cannot be solved by the American military," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said at the daily White House briefing. "They can only be solved by an inclusive government in Iraq," he said. The U.S. military can only support that government, he said.

|Words beginning with "A"
I earned extra credit once in grade school (oh so long ago) for digging this word out of the dictionary. It is one of the few (I forget how few) English words that contains all of the vowels in alphabetical order. I've been fond of it ever since.
My father was neither rich nor well educated. From the stories he told of his days in public school, I'm not sure how he ever graduated. Perhaps he never did. Nevertheless, he loved words, and he thought that a good vocabulary was more valuable than money because no one could take it away. He taught me poems I've never found in books. He taught me multiplication: "Eight eights are eighty-eight; you can have it for sixty-four." But most importantly, he taught me to love words, and one of the first words he taught me was "abstruse." I love the way it slithers off my tongue and sloshes around in my ear. I doubt if I've used it six times in conversation during the fifty years I've owned it, but I wouldn't give it up because it's the seed my father planted, and its blossoms have brightened all my days.
KR Mullin
What an absolutely charming way to describe stuff! It makes everyday "things" seem much more important:
It's not a pile if junk, it's "assorted accoutrement"!
It's not a bunch of crap, it's "a stunning array of accoutrement"!
It's not a load of old tat, it's "every accoutrement you could ever need"!
What's not to love about a word that makes you feel witty, worldly, and well-heeled. It's what's commonly referred to in some circles as a 50 cent word, giving any boring old sentence an air of style and grace.
Put on your fancy dress with your best accoutrements and lets go out on the town!
Mama made pot roast with all the accoutrements! Yum!
Our new car came with all the modern accoutrements – we're so spoiled!
Accoutrement good! So very, very good!

As an English teacher in Spain, I have a hard time convincing students that "actually" is not the same as the Spanish, actualmente, which means "currently".
"Okay," they say, arms folded. "So what does it mean?"
Struggling for a definition, I decide to give them an example:
A: Would you like to go skiing this weekend?
Okay, let's try again:
A: Isn't Barcelona the capital of Spain?
I tell them it's a polite way to refuse an invitation, or to disagree with someone. The class has fallen silent. I reach out for help. "Can anyone think of a Spanish translation?" A hand goes up. "Yes, Pedro?"
"No," he says. His classmates seem to agree.
So there you have it. "Actually" means "no."
Geonae Edwards
The fantastical country of yore, where anything that couldn't be explained came from. John Crowley also wrote an astonishing book by the same title, about our all-too-human propensity to impose patterns and masques on the world where there is really no pattern -- but it does help us sleep at night.
Losing the original spelling of this word (and others like it, such as aether) seems to me a great pity, a bit like losing a bit of wonder. Oh, well, we still have aegis. Woo hoo.
Peter Naus
This word evokes for me a sense of the early days of air travel when flying seemed very glamorous and sophisticated.
It also conjures up memories of idle, sun-splashed afternoons lying on soft grass with the sound of a single-engine plane off in the distance somewhere.
"Summer afternoon - Summer afternoon... the two most beautiful words in the English language." -- Henry James, British (US-born) author (1843 - 1916)
I agree with Hank, but I know you've only asked for one word, so I pick "afternoon." Besides meaning the best part of the day, the equivalent of that nice round piece of meat in the middle of the pork chop, it's pleasant to say. The more hurried syllables of the first part are followed by the long crooning second part, just as a languorous afternoon should follow a bustling morning.
Liz King
A contraction of sorts, that melds the words all be and it into a single word. Not much ink was saved in this attempt at a contraction, but several spaces were done away with.
Mark Sheppard
I first heard this fishy sounding word in Damariscotta, Maine, as I was spending an August afternoon swinging from a rope into Damariscotta Lake. "Ayuh, alewives runnin' agin." I pictured, in my overactive 13-year old imagination, local hussies all dolled up for some annual event at which they would, en masse, lift the hems of their dirty housedresses and tear off down Route One in a race toward some highly significant finish-line beerfest.
Alewives are actually a type of fish native to the state of Maine -- anadromous*, planktivorous* and the preferred bait for the spring lobster fishery.
* Oh, go look it up.
Kit Thompson
Amoeba is most definitely my favorite word. I learned it when I was in elementary school, before I knew what it meant, and I thought it was a lovely word. I later decided that there was nothing beautiful about amoebas themselves, but I didn't let that ruin my enjoyment of the word.
Aside from sounding wonderful, I like the word because saying amoeba at random is a good way to throw my friends. I'll be talking about the latest bestsellers, and I'll pause to gather my thoughts. And then, out of nowhere. I very carefully pronounce "Amoeba", just for the joy of saying the words. My friends will stare at me, wondering if they really heard me say amoeba out of nowhere or they were just hallucinating, as I finish thinking and start talking again.
Ah, the strange and absurd pleasures of life.
Alexi Maxwell
Although my favorite word often changes with my mood and the day of the week, I would have to say that my all time favorite is amuck. I love to say, "Uh oh, He's run amuck." As a probation/parole officer I use it a lot! It is such an all purpose word: "The world is all amuck," "Wow, She certainly is running amuck." I guess it's usually used with "run" and probably not with proper English, but it's much more fun to say than, "He's in trouble." It just makes me smile to say it and it usually makes others smile too.
Sharon Nave
I have always liked the sound of penultimate. It is fun (and a bit
pretentious) to use, but antepenultimate is even more so. In
addition, although I would choose "third from last" for the item preceding
the next-to-last item, I have encountered multiple people who call the
item before the next-to-last one the "second-to-last" one. That
gives me the excuse of using antepenultimate in order to eliminate any
Antidisestablishmentarianism is my favorite word. I memorized it when I was a pre-teenager. I liked that it could be broken down into syllables to memorize. Now, some 40 years later, as a 7th grade Language Arts teacher, it really comes in handy when we study root words, prefixes and suffixes. It was one of the answers on Jeopardy the other night, also.
Patricia Koss
Life is just a chair of bowlies.
Antidisestablishmentarianism...ah, the memories this word brings back to me.
Growing up, my mother enjoyed crossword puzzles so much that she learned to spell the most difficult of words so she could look for them to be used. I too love to do puzzles but I enjoy word searches. It was not uncommon for mom to "quiz" me on words I neither had seen or knew how to spell. The spirit of learning things new was introduced to me in this fashion.
I have two children of my own and antidisestablishmentarianism is one of their favorite words to teach to their friends. Maybe we have started a trend!
I learned this word while in the fourth grade as to be the longest word at the time, in the English language with 28 letters. Although this has been 47 years ago, I am not sure if this still holds true today. I can't remember for the life of me what it means, unless you break it down and then it might be sort of self-explanatory.
Carolyn Pendley
This my very favorite word. I learned to spell it in the first grade. I love how it rolls off the tongue. I have the meaning somewhere; I just can't remember it off the top of my head. It used to be the longest word in the dictionary, but I think that's changed.
Zoe Kay
Apathy is my favorite word. I think that it is because it is such a small word that still means so much. There are few words that can capture everything quite as well as the word "apathy"; there are just so many meanings packed into those six letters.
Aaron Upsal
I don't know that this will qualify, because it is actually two words. There used to be a pharmacy in the town we lived in called Peacock's Apothecary. I always thought that was so much fun to say. Maybe apothecary should be my favorite word!
Carol Harrison
This was one of the first feathered birds, and shows up in fossils, though it still has dinosaur-like attributes. About the size of a pigeon. It was the first long word I could say, aged about 8.
The long version of DNA is my party piece now (aged 48!)
David Lonsdale
It sounds much better than "the nerve," and my sister taught it to us while we were drinking.
Because it more adequately describes indigenous.
Andy White
Avatar is my favorite word, mostly because I just like the way it sounds. I first read it in a novel by William Faulkner (I forget which one). In Hindu myth, an avatar is the reincarnation of a departed soul, although Faulkner might have had a more abstract idea in mind.
Jim Muldrow
I looked this up after taking the SAT, I think, and imagine my amazement when I discovered a (relatively) quick and easy way to convey to a listener that someone (or something, I suppose) was behaving as an uncle would. Would that I could travel back in time and raze the mountain of excess verbiage I had needlessly devoted to the subject before learning this wonderful word!

80% of blindness is treatable or preventable. Aravind Eye Care System provides free cataract surgery to the blind in India, supported by our paying patients. But we need your help to treat complicated eye cancers in children, provide free spectacles for school children, and provide food and housing for patients who must travel many miles to reach an Aravind hospital.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
There are 39 million blind in the world (WHO) -- 80% of these cases are treatable. One-third are among India's rural poor where there is limited access to high-quality eye care. Aravind has developed a self-sustaining model for cataract surgery -- one paying patient subsidizes an additional two patients who are too poor to pay. But we need financial support to treat complicated, long-term illnesses such as diabetic retinopathy, eye cancers, provide glasses, and reach rural communities.
How will this project solve this problem?
Aravind Eye Foundation will provide free vision exams and spectacles for children, comprehensive care for patients with eye cancer and diabetic retinopathy, food and transportation services for poor patients in rural areas, training for doctors and healthcare professionals in other hospitals, funding for research into eye conditions and treatments, and outreach into rural areas.
Potential Long Term Impact
Blindness affects the entire community. The person who loses his sight, loses his ability to care for his family, pay for his children's education, and contribute to the economic growth of his village. The loss of global economic productivity due to blindness is expected to grow to $50 billion by 2020. Annually, this project will provide care for 100 eye cancer patients, spectacles for 1000 children, food and transportation for 1000 free cataract patients, laser surgery for 1000 diabetics.
Funding Information
Total Funding Received to Date: $55,899
Remaining Goal to be Funded: $194,101
Total Funding Goal: $250,000
Additional Documentation
This project has provided additional documentation in a Microsoft Word file (projdoc.doc).

Cleveland Heights takes legal action for high school football playoff spot
CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, Ohio - Practice makes perfect, which is why the Cleveland Heights Tigers endured Wednesday's rains out on the field. Coaches held practice for the playoffs, only problem is they're not in them.
Cleveland Heights is now taking legal action against the Ohio High School Athletic Association, OHSAA, for a spot in the playoffs.
The Tigers just missed the cut-off, seeded at No. 9, all because of a technicality, according to the High School's Athletic Director, Kristin Hughes.
Hughes told NewsChannel5 a forfeit in the game between John F. Kennedy and John Adams was supposed to give Heights extra points in the rankings. But instead, Hughes said OHSAA decided otherwise.
"When we ended up winning Week 10 and we thought we had a chance at the playoffs, we then started to consult Ohio High School to make sure that, that forfeit indeed was going to be counted," said Hughes.
She added, "We got a response back from them over the weekend saying they had discussed it and they're not going to count it as a forfeit because it was a violation of the Metropolitan School District rules, not OHSAA rules."
How important is a playoff spot for Cleveland Heights?
A coach for the youth Tigers and a former Heights Tiger himself, Yaqoob Basit follows Cleveland Heights' every move and said, "It's extremely important, for all the work they've put in and the fact that for the first time in our history, they got to the playoffs last year. And this would be a repeat performance of getting back to back… it's huge."
"We're not disputing the bylaws of Ohio HS. We're not disputing the bylaws of CMSD. We're simply saying if you record it as a forfeit, then we don't understand why it's not being counted as a forfeit when comes to the rankings," said Hughes.
The school responded to OHSAA's response by filing a temporary restraining order Tuesday. Hughes said the judge may decide as soon as Thursday because they're pressed for time with Division II playoffs beginning Friday. Division I High School football playoffs are said to begin Saturday.
A volunteer coach, Jason Wilson said, "They work hard every day. We've been playing our butts off since we lost to Euclid and we laying it all on the line, waiting to see what happens..."
Cleveland Heights players are anxiously awaiting the decision. Meanwhile, Mayfield is set to begin playoffs in Lakewood on Friday. They're the team who supposedly up-seeded Cleveland Heights due to the forfeit issue.
"It's not a win for anybody and that's what's really hard about this. I feel for Mayfield, I feel for the other schools that are involved in this. For us, the best solution would be to have a play-in game and that way, nobody gets hurt," said Hughes.
NewsChannel5 will have news on the outcome when a decision is made.

One of our members who belongs to more than one yacht club asked me if I had a clue about the etiquette of flying yacht club burgees on a boat. Like if you belong to Tiburon and Corinthian and you go on a TYC cruise to the Corinthian YC, which one do you fly? Or do you fly both? And if so, which one is on top? Since I was clueless, I asked the burgee-meister of Paradise Cay (if not the world), Sally Huse, if she knew the answer. This was no doubt one of the only questions regarding flags of any sort that Sally wasnt sure of, so she sought professional help. (Unlike me, she will actually try to get to the truth, rather than blurting out the first thing that comes to mind and then trying to justify it for months to come.) I was so impressed with the level of her research and the peak it gives us into some of the best yacht clubs in the U.S., I wanted to share it with all of you, even though you may not have to deal with this problem, which ranks way below whats for dinner tonight. Sally e-mailed a few of what many would consider the best yacht clubs in the country and asked them this very question. In every instance, her e-mails were returned promptly, and the answers reflected that the clubs took her question very seriously. Here then, are the actual e-mails from four top-notch clubs that Sally put this question to:
New York Yacht Club
Dear Miss Huse,
Only one yacht club burgee should be flown at any one time. If you are in the home waters of one yacht club, you should fly that yacht club's burgee. If you are in "neutral" waters, you can fly either burgee. If you are in neutral waters, but on a cruise sponsored by a yacht club, however, you should fly that yacht club's burgee. I consulted the New York Yacht Club's highest authorities in researching this question. I hope I have been able to help you.
Sincerely, Bill Watson, Librarian
Editors note: The New York Yacht Clubs annual summer cruise is the grand daddy of them all. Most years they forego putting their Frers 85s in the belly of a C5 Galaxy to get to Sardinia, or the like. In these years they simply race from port to port up and down the northeastern coast. On these deals Im told that you can hobnob (or perhaps brush up against) Walter Cronkite, Ted Turner, and many more very famous people. Point here is, there is no club that knows more about how to deal with members of multiple clubs flying burgees at various locations. The next club Sally asked is a frequent stop when the big Frers maxis head northeast.
Eastern Yacht Club (Marblehead, Mass.)
My name is Michael Smith. I am the Dockmaster at Eastern Yacht Club. Jeff Wargo forwarded your E-mail to me. I am new to this form of communication, so please excuse any mistake in web etiquette. Proper etiquette for flying a club burgee is not to fly more than one at a time. While in port at a particular club, one should fly the appropriate burgee to the yacht club that one belongs to. If a dual membership to clubs in the same port exists a choice must be made to fly one or the other. The above is opinion based on questioning members of the Eastern Yacht Club, as well as, information on pages 581 through 590 of the 1999 Chapman's Piloting. Aside from flying flags, members of multiple clubs and organizations often display crossed burgees on the varnished nameplates on their vessels. I have seen as many as four different clubs represented on one yacht. If you would like to speak with me further on the subject, I can be reached at the Eastern Yacht Club waterfront at 1-781-631-4059.
Sincerely; Michael S. Smith, Dockmaster
Editors note: So weve heard from a librarian, and now we get to hear from a Dockmaster. The Eastern Yacht Club is one fine club. Its located right across Little Harbor from Ted Hoods original sail loft in Marblehead. Who sees more burgees than a dockmaster? Hes got to be cringing day-after-day (in the summer) about the tasteless use of burgees. Probably makes him want to puke most of the time.
San Diego Yacht Club
When vessels owners belong to more than one yacht club, only one burgee is flown; usually the club's where the yacht is based. However there are exceptions: A. When a vessel is, for instance from SDYC NHYC and also belongs to Catalina Island Yacht club; this vessel would fly the Catalina burgee while in the vicinity of Catalina. B. If the vessel belongs to SFYC and SBYC; based at SFYC but participating in a SBYC event {no matter where} it should display the SBYC burgee. In summary, only one burgee is flown depending on the location and /or the event.
This information has been provided by John X. Tsirimokos, Protocol Advisor for the San Diego Yacht Club.
Seattle Yacht Club
The short answer if you are a sailor the highest place of honor is the starboard halyard on spreader. You decide which is the senior club, in your mind. Other pennants would be flown under it in declining order of importance, e.g. when in Canada, you fly the Canadian courtesy flag on top, then the SYC burgee and then your officers or house burgee. Editors note: What makes life so interesting is that not everybody is alike or agrees with each other. I believe (but God knows Ive been wrong before) that the Seattle YC is the club that Craig McCaw (of the former McCaw Cellular) belongs to and will use as his vehicle to challenge for the next Americas Cup. Laurie Davidson, the designer of the Cup-winning Kiwi boats has already signed on, and a few more New Zealand defections to Seattle are expected.
