Clan analysis, ALL THE CLANS! (Note: may not include all the clans)
Hello and welcome to one hell of a slow news week. This is Captain Showboat back from a hiatus of not giving a fuck. Seeing as how there's nothing really new and exciting to write about this week, I decided to avoid doing actual work by providing a very late, very poor, and very pointless list…because everyone loves reading about lists, right? The theme for this list will be my completely objective opinions on every clan for beginners to reference. For those of you that detected a contradiction in the previous statement, I salute your literary prowess.
Angel Feather:Do you like healing? Do you like side decks? Angel Feather does both! They are one of the few clans that can heal more than 4 times per match and the only one that can ignore the healing rule restriction of having equal or more damage. Furthermore, their damage zone acts as a secondary hand, letting them swap cards in and out from there. Their whole theme is manipulating the damage zone to the point of making damage a blessing.
Gold Paladins: The field swarming deck. No other deck can perform so many free summons. The primary goal of this deck is to keep all 6 slots filled with units at all times. From there, it can sub in draw power or damage. They're quite capable of maintaining a large hand. Similar to Royal Paladins, the goal of this deck is to require at least 3 10k shields from your opponent per turn. Also, you have no friends.
Oracle Think Tank: This is as much a deck as it is a memory exercise. This deck focuses on draw power and deck stacking. Tsukiyomi is the most fun to use out of all the OTT strategies. Although, Soulless Gingers is also very fun. This deck has a third mind game, as you slowly realize just how much you spent to build it.
Royal Paladins: The Mario of the group, they have a little of everything. They have some unit destruction, field swarming, ride chains, and even deck stacking. They are the jack of all trades, they can do everything, just not as well as some specialized clans. Also, just like Mario, they have been nerfed in Smash Bros Brawl. Butr seriously, barcgal as starting vanguard is clearly the most broken card in all of vanguard. I mean No other card or strategy can compare to them!
Shadow Paladins: Do you like crits? Do you hate all your rear guards? Is black slimming on you? Then this clan is perfect for you.
Kagero: Do you hate pension plans? So does Kagero. None of your opponent's rear guards are safe from being forced into an early retirement. Those poor grade 1 boosters will be collecting unemployment soon. This deck has dragons, but sadly no werewolves.
Murakumo: Have you ever wondered what Nova Grapplers would be like if they were terrible? Do you like insignificant damage boosts by having two different monsters with a specific name on the field. Do you want all your best laid plans to go to waste? These are your guys.
Narukami: Do you hate rear guards? Do you like Kagero? Do you like crossbows riding children while wielding a dragon? This clan is about crippling your opponent's offensive abilities smashing the front row and retiring your enemies. This deck also has no werewolves in it.
Nubatama: Not even Bushiroad cares about these guys.
Dark Irregulars: Have you ever wondered why the Soulless Gingers have no soul? These guys ate them all. Do you enjoy putting triggers in the soul? I know I do! In a deck filled with succubi, are you seduced by amon's gaping hole? Well, that just makes you a weird pervert. Is your favorite Dota Hero Shadow Fiend? Not unless you play Centaur. This deck is designed to make your vanguard tower above your opponent's…literally, the soul's about an inch high.
Pale Moon: This deck is all about fun. You like having a big soul. You like using that soul for practical attack uses. You like flying through the air with the greatest of ease. You'll like Pale Moon. That is, if pale moon was actually fun. I'd say its pseudo-fun, phun.
Spike Brothers: You can't play this deck. This deck is reserved for Glorious Golden Gods. All the Spike Brothers are mine, you hear? MINE!
Bermuda Triangle: This deck is about little girls letting you draw 6 cards in a turn. The Bermuda Triangle holds many deep mysteries, like how many of those cards have their hands sticking foreward and how does one cook pancakes under water? It boggles the mind!
Granblue: I think this quote explains everything.
"Samurai Spirit!? But, you're supposed to be Dead!"
"I was." -Total Recall
Great Nature: Poor Canvas Koala is dancing his way through college. All he ever wanted to do was paint, but life isn't so kind. He constantly keeps getting assaulted and regurgitated by marmosets, tigers, and leo-palds. He envies the Spike Brothers, who got through college on a sport's scholarship. How he hates them so.
Megacolony: Nova Grappler. ;_;
Nova Grappler: Megacolony :D
There you have it. A completely researched and unbiased review of every clan in all of Vanguard. Yep…all of them. I sure didn't miss one. An article so well researched I'd dare call it perfect. Anyways, in the spirit of filling the word quota, I looked through the weekly search terms. You guys did not disappoint, but you did disturb. Seriously, what the heck. Back, because nobody demanded it, The Weekly Search Term Mailbag!!1!
Mail Bag:
"how to. stack. oracle think tank cards"- A genuine good question! Thank you for giving me something to consider
next week eventually.
"dudley douglas vs brakki end of turn" – Brakki, always Brakki. Douglas's counterblast costs is better spent on other things and in a game that practically requires a Dudley monster to summon him out, the ideal use of your counterblasts would be used 1- mecha trainer, 4- dudley emperor.
"building a tank on a budget" – Well, I suppose the mass produced M4 Sherman would be pretty easy to fetch in today's market.
"cardfight vanguard most difficult clan to use" – tsukiyomi oracle think tank. It requires a lot of temporary memorization as well as keeping tabs on remaining cards. All of this in conjunction of remembering what your opponent triggered makes this a very good brain exercise.
"hypnosis japanese girls orgasms from dailymotion" – …How in the hell did that tag lead to our blog? What the hell have you been putting in your articles, Brony?
"i hope you're beary prebeared for this unbearable bear of a battle" – I don't know who you are, but you are now my favorite reader. Not only did I have a heartly laugh, but the other writers wouldn't stop giving me weird looks all week.
"the most strongest spike brothers"- Yes, they ARE the most strongest….They are.
"+where can i buy doodley in canada"- Why, at your local Rosenqueen's. Act now and get a free prinny with an order of twelve.
"baggening" – Legends are told of this night, When the moon is gone, and the nights are long. *He* lurks though trees and creeps through cracks. Searching for children to sneak a snack. With his sack strapped over his back, he slithers and slides and wriggles and glides, stuffing his pack with children's hides. So this winter you'd best beware, for the baggening can be anywhere. This would have been more relevant if I had actually released this on Halloween as intended.
Finally, what would an article be without youtube links. Which is probably the only reason anyone even clicks my articles in the first place.
Finally, since Santotaku hates hashtags being used without justification:
If This Is Justice, Then I'm A Banana!!!

You're right, I probably should have mentioned that Dark Irregulars do feature werewolves.

Spectroscopic And Morphological Evaluation Of Gamma Radiation Irradiated Polypyrrole Based Nanocomposites
M. Roy, R. G. Mahloniya, J. Bajpai and A. K. Bajpai
Volume 3, Issue 5, Page 426-432, Year 2012, Current Issue | DOI: 10.5185/amlett.2012.6373
Keywords: Electromagnetic interference; polymer composites; conducting polymers.
Novel electrically conducting nanocomposite materials comprising of poly (pyrrole) (PPy) nanoparticles dispersed homogeneously in a poly (vinyl alcohol)-g-poly (2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulphonic acid-co-acrylonitrile) matrix were prepared by in situ polymerization of pyrrole. Radiation shielding potential of so designed polypyrrole based nanocomposites was studied by exposure of polymer materials to gamma radiation under varying experimental conditions and structural and morphological changes in irradiated materials were examined by FTIR and SEM techniques.

The BIR has released the June 2011 versions of the following annual income tax returns: • BIR Form 1700 - for use of individuals earning purely compensation income • BIR Form 1701 - for self-employed individuals, individuals with mixed income, and estates and trusts • BIR Form 1702 - for corporations and partnerships Except for the inclusion of two new sections on taxpayer activity profile and tax relief availment, no significant changes were introduced in BIR Form 1702.On the other hand, the revised BIR Forms 1700 and 1701 now require disclosure of additional information such as income subjected to final tax, income exempt from tax, and exclusions from gross income under Section 32(B) of the Tax Code. Individuals who are currently required to file BIR Forms 1700 and 1701 under existing laws and regulations are required to use the enhanced versions and accomplish the supplemental information under Part IV of the Form 1700 or Part VIII of Form 1701. Who are required to file income tax returns - expanded coverageUnder the guidelines and instructions of the enhanced BIR Form 1700, pure compensation income earners whose income tax has been correctly withheld (hence previously qualified for substituted filing) shall now be required to file an income tax return if their annual taxable exceeds P500,000. Hence, they should also accomplish Part IV of enhanced BIR Form 1700.
Filing of enhanced BIR Form 1700 will also be mandatory for individual taxpayers whose sole income has been subjected to final withholding tax with aggregate final tax withheld exceeding P125,000 annually (whether remitted or not remitted to the BIR) and individuals whose sole income is exempt from income tax and whose total annual income (exempt) exceeds P500,000. However, they will accomplish only Part I and Part IV of the return.Effectivity of the new returnsThe new returns shall be used for the annual income tax filing covering calendar year 2011, which is due on or before April 15, 2012. The new versions shall also be required for juridical entities following fiscal year of reporting starting with fiscal year ending January 31, 2012. Other taxpayers concerns: 1. It would be recalled that the additional information required in the revised returns were the same information required to be disclosed in the account information return (AIR) to be filed or attached to the income tax return of certain individual taxpayers under Revenue Regulation No. 02-2011 but was later suspended by RR 6-2011. 2. Since the RMC did not provide for the quarterly returns, it is assumed that the old quarterly returns version BIR Form 1701Q and 1702Q shall continue to be used for the quarterly filings of corporations and individuals engaged in business, unless BIR makes further announcements. 3. It is also advised that individuals start documenting their other income subjected to final tax so that they will have the required information by the time the ITR is due for filing. Income received which are exempt from income tax should likewise be monitored.Please see attached copy of RMC 40-2011 and revised BIR Forms.
The eBIRForm tax return: Are you still confused?
It's crunch time for taxpayers as the April 15 deadline looms. At such a critical juncture, no one can afford to have his tax return rejected because of failure to properly use the electronic Bureau of Internal Revenue Forms (eBIRForm). It app . . . Read More »»

Team Pittsburgh falls in USA Hockey America's Showcase final
TribLIVE Sports Videos
The third time was not the charm for Team Pittsburgh.
For the third-straight year, Pittsburgh fell in the championship game at the USA Hockey America's Showcase. This time, Team Illinois held on for the 3-2 triumph Sunday at Robert Morris University Island Sports Center.
Team Pittsburgh, made up of juniors and seniors from local high schools, dominated throughout the tournament. Entering Sunday's game, the team outscored its opponents, 24-4, and won each of its first four games by a five-goal margin.
However, Team Illinois (4-1) was able to limit Pittsburgh's offensive attack.
"These guys gave everything, and they played their absolute hardest. My hat is off to Illinois. They played an absolutely great game," Pittsburgh coach Lou Biancaniello said. "It was pretty even, back and forth. They had a great second period, and we had what we thought was a great third period, but their goaltender shut us down."
Pittsburgh (4-1), which lost to Northern New England Gold in 2011's championship and Philadelphia last year, got on the scoreboard 3:02 into the game. Tyler Speis (Serra Catholic) one-timed a pass near the far post into the net for the 1-0 lead.
Team Illinois responded 6:40 later when Kyle Melton redirected a shot through traffic to knot the game at 1-1. Melton led Illinois with eight points in the tournament and finished second overall in scoring.
Trevor Recktenwald (Peters Township) put Pittsburgh up, 2-1, when he wristed in a loose puck for a power-play goal with 5:52 left in the first.
Illinois took charge in the second period. Following a Pittsburgh turnover in its own end, Jake Novack converted the opportunity into a short-handed goal 7:50 into the period.
"That short-handed goal was big for us. They could have got a goal and went up, 2-0. Instead, we got a shorty, and I think that changed the momentum a bit, and it gave us some confidence," Illinois coach Brian Noonan said. "That was a big play in the game."
Alex Bock put Illinois up, 3-2, when he swept in a rebound with 1:20 left in the period.
"Anytime you give up a goal in the end of a period it hurts. To get one, it gives you a boost," Noonan said. "It was a great play off the faceoff by our guys, and it turned out to be the winning goal. It was big."
Pittsburgh's attack struggled with the Illinois pressure in the second period.
"We had a hard time. Definitely in the second they changed up what they were doing a little bit," Biancaniello said. "They became extremely aggressive and overloading us and overpowering our guys, not giving us the opportunity to break out of the zone with speed.
"In the third, they kind of got away from that and backed off a little bit and played a little more defensive oriented, and we were able to generate a lot more. We made some adjustments to try and change things up, and we got some things going.
"I don't think we worked as hard as we could have in that second period, either. We got a little complacent and got used to things just working out for us. We had to regroup in the third, and I thought we did that, but their goalie really stood up when he needed to in the third as well."
Defensive quickness was a key for Illinois, which fell to Team Pittsburgh in last year's semifinals.
"Our defensemen are mobile. We have six defensemen who can move the puck and skate. That makes a big difference. We can get up and down the ice and close the gap," Noonan said. "We played Pittsburgh last year and lost to them, so I knew what to expect. They are a hard-working team and a good team. We knew we had to play good defense to win."
Goaltender Zachary Danna and the Illinois defense shut the door in the third to seal the win.
"Our guys played hard. It's hard to put a lot of strangers together; a lot of them haven't played with each other. To only have a few practices, it's hard to get that bond in there quickly," Noonan said. "They respected each other and played hard for each other, and it showed on the ice."

Anthony Kirkland, flanked by attorneys Norm Aubin and Will Welsh, waits solemnly for the jury's decision. He would soon learn that they recommended him for the death penalty.
CINCINNATI - The jury foreman did something Wednesday he never expected to do in his lifetime: He signed a piece of paper recommending the death of another human being.
It took the foreman and 11 other jurors 3½ hours to choose the death penalty for serial killer Anthony Kirkland. To the jurors, it felt much longer.
"Everybody was sympathetic to any abused child," he said, "but at the same time ... does that rise above the fact that he raped and murdered two girls and murdered two other women? Not even close. He had the opportunity to change his life, but he just liked to kill ... and he wanted to cover ...

TB outbreak gains national attention on NPR
NPR reporter Richard Knox paid a visit to Sheboygan a couple months ago to do some face-to-face interviews with public health officials concerning the tuberculosis outbreak in Sheboygan. He also stopped in at Sheboygan Press Media offices to talk with reporter Kali Thiel, who initially covered the outbreak, and editors.
Since April, there have been nine confirmed cases of TB within the same extended family, which may not sound like an outbreak but here's why it warrants the attention: The disease is deadly if untreated and there are a number of things that complicate the treatment process. For one, it can take a long time to identify and in the meantime can spread to others in close contact with the infected person. It's also expensive, requiring months of pricey antibiotics to treat, a nurse to daily administer the medication to the quarantined patients, and multiple rounds of testing to ensure it's not been transferred.
To complicate matters, one of the patients has a multi-drug resistant strain of the disease, which requires more expensive treatment - a whopping $300,000 for just that single case.
The whole ordeal is costing millions of dollars. The city even had to appeal to the state to provide $5 million for treatment and preventative measures.
Knox details the city's battle in his article "Tuberculosis Outbreak Shakes Wisconsin City," which can be found online at n.pr/12NAJqM.
We're among the 'smartest'
Another study (there's always a study) says Sheboyganites are among the smartest in the country - we're 48th out of 100 to be exact. That's according to San Francisco-based Lumosity, a company that creates brain-training exercises. It ranked U.S. cities by their raw cognitive performance, using data from more than 3 million people in the U.S. between the ages of 18 and 75 who had played several Lumosity brain-training games. These games measured performance in the areas of memory, processing speed, flexibility, attention, and problem solving. Then the scores were ranked by location. Many of the cities and towns on the list, not surprisingly, are prominent college towns. Ithaca, N.Y., topped the list. The top Wisconsin city was Madison at No. 8. Other Badger state communities finishing in the top 100 were Appleton (12th), Milwaukee-Waukesha-West Allis (26th), La Cross-Onalaska, Minn. (36th), Stevens Point (40th), Oshkosh-Neenah (51st), Fond du Lac (54th), Wisconsin Rapids-Marshfield (83rd), and Eau Claire (92nd). Read more at bit.ly/14ar7dz.
OnMilwaukee on Shebygan
Sheboygan got some online love from our larger neighbor to the south recently in an online article that highlighted our attractions here. Sheboygan is "a quaint and quiet city that nevertheless boasts all the activity and vivacity of its larger neighbors to the south," Colleen Jurkiewicz wrote in the OnMilwaukee.com article . Singled out by Jurkiewicz was the John Michael Kohler Arts Center and its "Uncommon Ground" exhibit, "a dramatic and provocative new exhibit which examines the relationship of mankind to the natural world around us." The exhibit opened in April and runs through September. Definitely worth a visit.
New name, new member
Megan Smitala, a 2011 graduate of Sheboygan North High School, is a Milwaukee Bucks Dancer. The team recently announced its new team members, along with a new name. The team was formerly known as the "Energee" dance team, but has undergone a branding change that is part of a larger re-branding of the Bucks entertainment and fan experience this season.
Helpful tip
Nancy Papendieck of Plymouth scored big in the helpful hint department by getting her applet-coring advice published in the July 12-14 edition of USA Weekend, which is inserted each in the The Sheboygan Press. Nancy's sage advice is to core apples on a cutting board placed in the kitchen sink. "That way you have more down force (on the slicer) and all of the apple juice stays in the sink," she wrote.

2015 Ford Mustang – Review, Release Date and Latest News
We are witnessing the daily disclosure of the mysterious 2015 Ford Mustang Concept that will officially be unveiled at the New York International Auto Show next year.
No matter of correct, the data, which appear every day in the public interest does not stop, and the pressure on the company Ford is growing, which is apparently very much sure about the 2015 Mustang, whose realization is coming to the end.
On the fiftieth anniversary of the launch of the first Mustang to the market , on 17 April 1964, many have argued that Ford has shown a futuristic, completely redesigned vehicle, not yet existing performance , with familiar and recognizable the stud on the hood. The quality of the Ford , no doubt, and it is absurd to expect that the change in the target group and market expansion for 2015 Ford Mustang, someone thought that this pony car, known for its special editions such as the Club of America and the Pony Package, which Ford still pays special attention, becomes something else. What makes the 2015 Ford Mustang to become a favorite among the young , and popular car on the market in Europe and Asia, is exactly what the American on, and, in it.
On the new platform, a symbolic name, S550, 2015 Ford Mustang will be smaller and lighter than the current Mustang. Because of the position of the engine and suspension, apparently will be lower. Photos of the engine in the test version of the 2015 Ford Mustang, show us the 5.0L V8 engine, which Ford used to own two cars.
In 2013 Ford Mustang GT, this 5.0L V8 engine delivers 420hp and 390Lb-ft. of torque, and in 2013 Ford Boss 302, 444hp and 380LB-ft. of torque. Individuals dissatisfied with such force and speed continue to speculate about the existence of other engines, including 3.7L V6 and 2.3L turbocharged 4 engine. The model with a 4-cylinder engine, it says, only for the European market. Nothing more precisely, can not be determined, the information about rear-wheel drive and independent rear suspension, which Ford has already tried at Falcon sedan model, intended for the Australian market.
Definitely redesigned 2015 Ford Mustang, retains a distinctive pony style. Rounded front fasciarecipents leads and slightly shorter nose. Instead of straight lines that are present in predecessors, 2015 Ford Mustang, replace the rounded, curving shapes. Reportedly, for this, the appearance of the new Mustang is guilty Kinetic 2.0 style, which is a new design language as used in preparing the 2013 Ford Fusion. Certainly, this is further far from the specifications of a vehicle, but much more about the design of the new 2015 Ford Mustang from the clay model, based on which anyone could design a perfect picture of a Mustang for himself.
Finally, we shall mention the possibility of a special edition 2015 Ford Mustang. Supposedly, Ford, positively characterize special editions, the Ford Shelby and Ford Boss 302, and for that reason, a few special copies, not to harm the future glorious star, 2015 Ford Mustang, which we all eagerly await.

Fastpass to Hunger: The Final Days
Categories: Dishney
|The Disney magic is dead for these young activists.
Elpy Escobar had to call it quits over the weekend, after feeling pain and pressure in her arm. She was taken away in an ambulance, leaving her fellow fasters feeling uneasy about their commitment to continue until 5 p.m. tonight.
The workers of Local 11 have been fasting for a week to bring attention to their fight for reasonable health care. They want to keep their own free, union-controlled plan, and Disney wants them to sign up for their corporate plan with monthly fees. The rising costs of heath care could make the Disney option unaffordable for the more than 2,000 union workers.
Disney stated in a press release preempting the fast that the proposed plan was "high-quality, affordable and stable health care for Cast Members and their families."
But Disney spokeswoman Suzie Brown admits, "we don't have a crystal ball, we don't know what rates will be." Which is not very reassuring at a time when health insurer Anthem Blue Cross can threaten to raise rates by 39 percent.
Union leaders, rock stars, preachers, and politicians have all come out to show their support over the week-long fast. On Friday afternoon, approximately 50 students and religious leaders from Clergy and Laity United for Economic Justice (CLUE) staged their own supportive action by filling the tables at the Grand Californian Hotel's café, while ordering nothing but water (Yes, they tipped their servers).
The following afternoon, Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello played for the fasters and their supporters from the back of a flat-bed truck.
"People ask, why a concert?" said Morello. "Music can be a very important weapon in these struggles, steeling the backbone of the strikers, and spreading the word beyond the picket line."
Morello, a union man himself with Musicians' Union Local 47, doesn't believe that Disney has the workers' best interests in mind.
"I feel bad that someone is paid a wage to think up reasons why workers should have poor heath care and less safety on the job," said Morello. "People used to have reasons why people should work in coal mines all night, and why we shouldn't have weekends. . . . The struggle will continue. Change comes from below not from above, it always has."
Tonight's final rally at 5 p.m. will conclude a full week of fasting for the final eight. They are scheduled to gather at 1150 Magic Way, along with speakers Maria Elena Durazo, secretary-treasurer of the Los Angeles County Labor Federation; Tefere Gabre, executive director of the Orange County Labor Federation; and John Wilhelm, president of UNITE HERE.

text: Homegoing services for Mr. Clifford Dywaine Liferidge Sr., of Land O' Lakes, Florida who passed away on Wednesday, May 8, 2013, will be held on Friday, May 17th, 10:00 a.m. at Aikens Funeral Home Chapel, 2708 E. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd, with Rev. Namon Perkins, Jr., officiating. Interment will be in Florida National Cemetery, Bushnell, Florida. Clifford was born in Moncks Corner, South Carolina on September 21, 1965. He was the fourth son of Edith Elizabeth and Jacob Liferidge Jr. Cliff was raised in Brooklyn, NY and educated in the NYC public school system. While in NY, he faithfully attended and was involved in church with his family. In 1979, the family moved back to South Carolina where Cliff attended and graduated from Berkeley High School. After graduating from High School, Cliff joined the United States Navy where he served from, January 11, 1984 to January 31, 2004. While serving in the Navy he became a war veteran participating in Desert Storm/Desert Shield, The War on terror, and other wars. He retired from honorable service with numerous awards, including The Navy Sailor of the Year and war decorations to include: The Kuwait Liberation Medal, Southwest Asia Service Medal, The War on Terror Medal, and the Combat Action Ribbon. In 1988, Cliff met his loving wife Kimberly and they were married on April 7, 1990. Four years later they were blessed with the birth of their twin children: Kiera Donte and Clifford Dywaine Liferidge, Jr. Cliff was a man dedicated to his country and after retiring from military service; he joined the Military Sealift Command where he traveled all over the world. Cliff was a fighter and a strong man of valor. He was promoted quickly and was most recently a Chief Steward Officer. Under his leadership, his Supply Departments competed for and won three Captain David M. Cook Food Service Excellence Awards for East Coast ships. This international award is presented annually to Military Sealift Command ship that ranks the highest in record keeping, following healthy recipes, satisfaction of civil service mariners and quality of food. At an early age Cliff accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal Savior. He loved to travel, meet new people and cook like a gourmet chef. He played the bongos, Saxophone, and loved all kinds of music especially Jazz. While living in Cuba, Cliff became a leader in the Boy Scouts, where he mentored several young boys leaving a lasting positive impression in their life. Cliff had an infectious personality, after one meeting; you would fall in love with him. Cliff maintained his friendly spirit even to the very end. He will be dearly missed by the many souls that he touched. Clifford leaves to honor his precious memories: His wife Kim, of 25 years; children, Kiera, Clifford Jr. and adopted son Jamal Keesee; along with his parents: Jacob Liferidge Jr., and Edith Liferidge; brothers: Anthony Liferidge (Tracy), Wallace Liferidge (Stephanie), Derek Liferidge, and Tory Liferidge (Tashia); father and mother in Law: Richard and Earline Keesee; sister in law: Wakima Keesee; brother in law: Kenneth Keesee; and a host of uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, cousins, special extended family (Theresa and Towana) and friends. The visitation will be held 1 hour prior to the service. The family and friends are asked to meet at the chapel on Friday for the service.

He doesn't like it at all.
At this point of the off-season, the forward is usually still recovering from a long playoff run, resting tired legs and tending to an assortment of ailments. But there's none of that wear and tear now. Skating for Lake Erie last season, Haydar missed the playoffs for the first time in a pro career that began in 2002.
''Definitely, being finished in April was a wakeup call for myself,'' he said.
While there are certainly no guarantees about these things, Haydar has decided to hedge his bets for the next two seasons.
''It's an organization that likes to win. I felt I could go there and help and get back to winning again,'' he said. ''I want those expectations of going to the rink and expecting to win. I think for myself, I'm definitely comfortable being in Chicago.''
Haydar's laser focus on the finish line is understandable. He's the AHL's all-time leader in career playoff points (135) and goals (59) and is tied for first with Wolves teammate Jason Krog in assists (76).
Haydar said he strongly considered joining his talented age group peers overseas this year, but decided that tying himself to an AHL deal was a better career option because now any NHL team can sign him.
With Lake Erie last season, he was locked into Colorado -- perhaps too much so. Haydar produced 23 goals and 41 assists in 66 games for the Monsters, but admitted he became a little distracted when he was rewarded with just one NHL game.
He said the difference now is that he accepts he'll be in Chicago, a freedom that may in turn elevate his play enough to get him promoted out of there.
''I'm sure, to some degree, it affected my play (last season). You see all these guys going up, you are not one of them, you wonder why,'' he said. ''I think the guys who do well are those who are able to let it (worrying) go from their mind. I had to be ready to know I'll be (in Chicago). This year, whatever happens, happens.''
Buddies united?: Longtime workout buddies Corey Perry, Adam Perry and Danny Syvret almost always have something to say to each other, ranging from golf to hockey to the good old days.
''Everybody is razzing the other guy about something,'' Syvret said. ''It's easy to push the other guy's button.''
It will be even easier this coming season, since they could be in close proximity at varying times.
Adam Perry, a forward, is the younger brother of Ducks star Corey Perry. Adam has signed an AHL deal with Syracuse, Anaheim's new AHL affiliate. He was one of the best players in the ECHL last season, going 30-48-78 for Utah.
Syvret, a defenseman, signed a two-way deal with the Ducks last week. He is close to the Perrys because all three played for the star-studded London team that won the Memorial Cup in 2004-05. Syvret captained that team, and the trio have remained friends ever since.
''It's weird how it all worked out, for sure,'' Syvret said. ''It's pretty exciting. It didn't really have an influence on my (signing) decision at all. Corey, he wouldn't try to influence me until I signed. Then he sounded pretty happy.''
For Syvret to log some minutes with Corey in Anaheim this season, he'll have to keep ignoring that golf ball-size bump on his left shoulder and bounce back from a tough 2009-10.
The souvenir dates back to January, when he was playing for the Flyers. Syvret was hit from behind by Dallas' Steve Ott, basically blowing out the left shoulder and fully separating his collarbone. He said the sensation of ligaments tearing was the sensation of Velcro being yanked apart.
But the pain was nothing compared to what the injury represented. Syvret was just beginning to settle into an NHL role -- he played 21 games with Philadelphia -- and had scored his first career NHL goal in the Bridgestone Winter Classic at Fenway Park.
"It's an organization that likes to win. I felt I could go there and help and get back to winning again. I want those expectations of going to the rink and expecting to win. I think for myself, I'm definitely comfortable being in Chicago."
-- Darren Haydar
Syvret fought back to finish the season, although with Adirondack of the AHL. The lump on his shoulder is natural, he said, a result of the extreme separation of the bones. They have healed and grown back, it's just that the ends that are supposed to re-connect have veered off a little bit.
"It's strong and everything,'' he said. "But it looks gross.''
Syvret said he was encouraged because he believes he'll be battling some other two-way guys for the final spots in the Ducks' rotation. That puts him on even contractual footing, as opposed to trying to supplant some one-way players.
"They said they will have their D set for training camp, and there will be a spot or two open,'' he said. "That's one of the spots I have to win in training camp. I feel like I have a good, fair crack at making the team.''
Learning the ropes: Darryl Sydor is taking the rest of the summer to figure out what this whole AHL thing is all about. He never played in the league -- or anywhere else in the minors, for that matter. But he still has the body of work to suggest he'll be able to coach in it.
Sydor was recently named an assistant coach with Houston after retiring from an NHL career that included 18 seasons, 1,291 games and two Stanley Cups. The former defenseman will work under new Aeros coach Mike Yeo.
''I think the on-ice stuff is going to be easy. I think the behind the scenes stuff, that will be learning for me,'' said Sydor, 38. ''I know there's going to be ups and downs, just like I (had) as a player. It's how you deal with them. I believe I'm ready for it. But I'm not going to step behind the bench and believe I know everything.''
Sydor said he's been calling several of his former coaches to ask for advice about the transition.
''You have to be open-minded. You have to have separation from player to coach now,'' he said. ''It (coaching) has maybe been in the back of your head for a couple of years. It was just time to step away from the game and give back When the game comes around and you're not on the ice to change the outcome, it's going to take some adaptation.''
A new beginning: Jim Johnson thought winning three out of every four games and turning Norfolk into a playoff contender last season would be enough to at least earn him the right to talk about coming back as coach of the Admirals in 2010-11.
Apparently that currency didn't count for much with Tampa Bay's new administration.
Johnson was let go as Norfolk's boss last week, well into a summer in which it seemed like a given that he'd be back. He helped run Tampa Bay's prospects camp earlier in the month, and said new Lightning GM Steve Yzerman made not a peep about any change.
And what would be up for discussion? Johnson was promoted from assistant to coach on Jan. 17 and went 15-5-1-1 the rest of the way, narrowly missing the postseason. He was also called up for a short time as a Tampa Bay assistant.
But when Yzerman called Johnson last week, the boss said he wanted to bring in his own people and that Johnson would not be part of that inner circle.
''I was looking forward to returning to Norfolk. To tell you the truth, I was a little disappointed,'' Johnson said. ''I was really pleased with the progress our prospects made. I know what I'm capable of doing and am looking forward to another opportunity. It's not an ideal situation at this point, but we'll make the best of it.''
Around the AHL: In other coaching news, Chuck Weber has been named new coach of the Rochester Americans. Weber, 37, directed Cincinnati of the ECHL to a 177-92-19 record and two Kelly Cups (2008 and 2010) during his four seasons at the helm.
''I thought (this year) might have opened some doors for me. I think it would have been tough if I hadn't gotten a chance (as an AHL head coach) after this year,'' Weber said.
Manchester has extended the contracts of coach Mark Morris and assistant Scott Pellerin, who have been the leaders of the Monarchs for the last four seasons and coached the team to 170 regular-season wins, 115 loss, 15 overtime losses and 20 shootout losses.

When very small and on low tide you can hit rocks and also when small lots of kelp. Epic spot when going off. Every now and then, on a 15 ft northwest swell, this place will light up with perfect glassy and barrely/offshore 3 to 5 foot faces that seem to last forever and only 20 guys out in the line up.... but when does that ever happen? 350 days of the year, this spot is flat! Be careful of the creek water after a rain!
Right next to a jetty it can sometimes break like a point. You have to pay for it but if your lucky park next to the railroad next to the cliff, but a longer walk but it's free.
It can be fun when medium size but horrible when small. Great longboard spot... just don't tell your friends - it's local. Local Family Spot.

Fun Wave - hit it on my 9'6" Sat. falling high tide, the peak was a little shifty, quite a wait between sets and not much of an inside section but definately worth the wait, long rights, chest to head high
By londonkook , 22-10-2006
nice - just got back from here at Sunset. Low tide was at 5pm or and it was really low. Surf is 4-6+ in town and the good sets here were easily at that. A bit kelpy, and you had to be patient but it was a great wave - really fun. I suppose I am an out of shape kook, and this is my second season of getting my ass pummelled in the town spots. I moved here last fall and had no friends or mentors to show the way. I've even been cursed out at cowells! I never wanted to get in peoples way, I just didn't know what/where was good for me really. Capitola is good for me and I felt that right after my first few waves. I don't think there is anything wrong with websites like this - they just spread people out and give them info. back in the day it was who you knew, but this is the wave of the future.

ALLENDALE, MICH. >> Eric Bologa earned All-America honors in the 400-meter hurdles to become the fourth All-American for Shippensburg at the 2014 NCAA Division II Track & Field Championships on Saturday.
The Red Radiers' 4x400 relay team of Bologa, Andrew Kujawski, Kevin Shaw and Robert Bales also improved its PSAC record to cap off the meet.
Just before the 4x4, Bologa became the first SU men in school history to earn All-American status in the 400 hurdles. He took eighth with a time of 52.68.
"Yesterday it was all about getting to finals, and I knew if I got there I would have a good chance at being an All-American," Bologa said. "Today, after finding out that there were only eight competitors, I knew that all I had to do was finish. It dropped my nerves a bit and helped me know that I would have that much more energy for the 4x4."
Bologa was then the opening leg in the relay race. The squad re-wrote its own conference record with a time of 3:10.43.
Shippensburg also had two junior throwers place 11th in their respective events — Andrew Korrubin in the javelin (202-3) and Grant Smith in the shot put (54-6).

Many of the elements in EverQuest have been drawn from text-based MUD (Multi-User Dungeon) games, particularly DikuMUDs, which in turn were inspired by traditional role-playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons. In EverQuest, players create a character (also known as an avatar, or colloquially as char or toon) by selecting one of 16 races in the game, which range from humans (basic human, Erudite, and barbarian), elves (high elves, wood elves, and dark elves), half-elves, dwarves, gnomes, halflings, trolls, and ogres of fantasy, to cat-people (Vah Shir), lizard-people (Iksar), frog-people (Froglok), and dragon-people (Drakkin). At creation, players select each character's adventuring occupation (such as a wizard, ranger, or cleric – called a class – see below for particulars), a patron deity, and starting city. Customization to the character facial appearance is available at creation (hair, hair color, face style, facial hair, facial hair color, eye color, etc.).

A Cliche is The World, Part 1.
The world is a cliche
Long over used and trite
With stale airs parading decayed conclusions
Of hackneyed discoveries
Eureka! Even a blind pig can find an acorn
You must kiss a few frogs to find a prince /but/ finders keepers, losers weepers
Sadder but wiser /yet/ as strong as an ox
The world is a cliche
As every school boy knows, the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing /when/
The world is a cliche
I don't know how to break this too you but, the devil you know is better than the devil you don't /for/
He don't know crap from Crisco /or/ his elbow from his asshole
Life is like a box of chocolates you never know what you're getting /so/ know thyself
Know the ropes, know what side the bread is buttered on /for/
The world is a cliche
/And/ they don't know jack about it.

Eligibility judge backs off sanctions threat
Posted By Bob Unruh On 04/01/2009 @ 11:40 pm In Front Page | Comments Disabled
James Robertson
A federal judge who threw out a lawsuit by a retired military officer challenging Barack Obama's eligibility to be president because the subject had been "blogged, texted, twittered and otherwise massaged" now has backed off threats to impose financial sanctions on the officer's attorney.
The attorney, John D. Hemenway, "is 82 years old and takes considerable and justified pride in his patriotic public service and his status as a Rhodes Scholar," the judge wrote, according to a report on the Family Security Matters website written by Hemenway's daughter-in-law, Margaret Calhoun Hemenway.
The judge, James Robertson, opined that John D. Hemenway is "unlikely to repeat the conduct that gave rise to this proceeding, and in his case the permissible alternative sanction of a reprimand will be sufficient," she reported.
WND reported earlier on the case's dismissal and then when Hemenway responded by ripping the judge for using blog hearsay in his decision.
Robertson rejected the case brought on behalf of Gregory S. Hollister, a retired military officer who is subject to being recalled to duty and, therefore, would need to know the legitimacy of any order coming from Obama.
In his statement, Robertson ridiculed the complaint, which never had a court hearing, ruling that the eligibility issue had been "blogged, texted, twittered and otherwise massaged."
Hollister is represented by Philadelphia lawyer Philip Berg, who has brought several motions on the eligibility dispute to the U.S. Supreme Court that have been ignored. Hemenway acted as local counsel in filing the action on behalf of Hollister.
Robertson wrote: "The plaintiff says that he is a retired Air Force colonel who continues to owe fealty to his Commander-in-Chief (because he might possibly be recalled to duty) and who is tortured by uncertainty as to whether he would have to obey orders from Barack Obama because it has not been proven – to the colonel's satisfaction – that Mr. Obama is a native-born American citizen, qualified under the Constitution to be president.
"The issue of the president's citizenship was raised, vetted, blogged, texted, twittered, and otherwise massaged by America's vigilant citizenry during Mr. Obama's two-year-campaign for the presidency, but this plaintiff wants it resolved by a court," Robertson wrote.
His dismissal ordered the attorney to respond immediately and explain why there should not be financial sanctions. Hemenway complied, correcting the judge on a series of statements.
"These are not frivolous matters, as the
learned Judge Robertson has suggested. Possible illegal orders are a matter of great
concern to officers in the armed forces. Undersigned counsel himself entered the Army
of the United States during WWII and was promoted to Infantry Second Lieutenant
preparing for the anticipated landings in Japan which were scheduled for November 1,
1945. But for President Truman's use of nuclear weapons to end the war, this would
have transpired. The legality of orders in and out of combat is of paramount importance," he wrote.
Where's the proof Barack Obama was born in the U.S. or that he fulfills the "natural-born American" clause in the Constitution? If you still want to see it, join more than 345,000 others and sign up now!
Hemenway continued with a "second point" Robertson raised.
That is, he said, that "the
president of the United States had been properly vetted."
"This assumes facts not in
evidence and was not addressed. It is clear that the constitutional qualifications of
President Soetoro/Obama have not been properly vetted. Judge Robertson even cites an
earlier case filed in Pennsylvania by one of the two lead attorneys in this case, in which
the judge claimed candidates in the recent presidential election had never been more
closely vetted. Nothing was further from the truth. Effectively, the Pennsylvania District
Court judge was introducing his own hearsay and opinion into the case as if it were
acceptable evidence," Hemenway wrote.
"It is sad to read this
court's use of material from the Internet to imply that the issues in the numerous lawsuits
filed have been resolved by the 'twittering and blogging' to determine that the litigants
are invoking 'conspiracy theorists.' It suggests that the intellectual capacity of this court
focused on the issues in the instant suit at a very low level, perhaps for political purposes,
such as to win attention from the highest authority when a seat on the Supreme Court of
the United States becomes vacant," Hemenway wrote.
In her report, his daughter-in-law said the judge, in his March 25 decision, still has trouble getting things right.
"Judge Robertson reconsidered his previous sanctions threat, possibly fearing monetary sanctions might spark a backlash and give a boost to the grass-roots effort to force Mr. Obama to relinquish his records for public scrutiny," she wrote. "He errs in one key respect, alleging that Hemenway is 'unlikely to repeat the conduct that gave rise to this proceeding. …'
"Reprimand aside, Hemenway will continue to seek the truth about Obama's birthplace and citizenship, as will other patriotic citizens who believe no president and no future presidential candidate should be allowed to conceal documents that would prove that he or she is legally qualified to serve," she wrote.
"The judge errs in another respect, saying: 'Many people, perhaps as many as a couple of dozen, feel deeply about this issue, a strong indication that this judge feels he can dismiss the legal merits of the issue by pretending that there is no public interest at stake,'" she wrote.
"He must be unaware that an AOL poll, albeit admittedly unscientific, found that a majority of Americans believe Mr. Obama should release his records to determine his eligibility; that more than 345,000 U.S. citizens have signed an online petition demanding Obama's birth records be released; and that many more are blogging, calling, and writing congressional offices to ask their members of Congress to sign onto Congressman Bill Posey's bill," she wrote.
Posey's legislation would require future candidates for president to be vetted for eligibility, an admission that the last national election's screening process for candidates was substandard, she wrote.
"This is a judge who clearly is letting his skewed perception of public sentiment guide his judicial rulings. It would clearly have been judicially expedient, saving the taxpayers time and money, given the number of eligibility lawsuits filed across the country, simply to direct President Obama to produce an actual birth (or 'vault') certificate and not a COLB (Certification of Live Birth and one that lacks a doctor's signature or hospital name) that has been given to others not born on the island of Hawaii," she wrote.
John D. Hemenway also had suggested that if there were to be sanctions, court rules would allow him to require the release of Obama's birth information.
"If the court persists in pressing Rule 11 procedures against Hemenway, then Hemenway
should be allowed all of the discovery pertinent to the procedures as court precedents
have permitted in the past," he wrote to the judge.
"The court has referred to a number of facts outside of the record of this particular
case and, therefore, the undersigned is particularly entitled to a hearing to get the truth of
those matters into the record. This may require the court to authorize some discovery," Hemenway said.
WND has reported on dozens of legal challenges to Obama's status as a "natural born citizen." The Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, states, "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President."
Some of the lawsuits question whether Obama was actually born in Hawaii, as he insists. If he was born out of the country, Obama's American mother, the suits contend, was too young at the time of his birth to confer American citizenship to her son under the law at the time.
Other challenges have focused on Obama's citizenship through his father, a Kenyan subject to the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom at the time of his birth, thus making him a dual citizen. The cases contend the framers of the Constitution excluded dual citizens from qualifying as natural born. Further complicating the issue are the reports he was adopted by an Indonesia man during his childhood and moved to Indonesia and attended school there. There also are questions on what nation's passport he traveled to Pakistan.
Lawyers and plaintiffs in a multitude of lawsuits also have asked why, if a birth certificate actually reflects that Obama was born in Hawaii, has he spent sums estimated by observers of up to $1 million hiring various law firms to keep concealed his birth certificate, his college records and other documentation.
John Eidsmoe, an expert on the U.S. Constitution now working with the Foundation on Moral Law, told WND a demand for verification of Obama's eligibility appears to be legitimate.
Eidsmoe said it's clear that Obama has something in the documentation of his history, including his birth certificate, college records and other documents that "he does not want the public to know."
Although Obama officials have told WND all such allegations are "garbage," here is a partial listing and status update for some of the cases over Obama's eligibility:
In addition, other cases cited on the RightSideofLife blog as raising questions about Obama's eligibility include:

oh my word. this is beautiful! i found your post while lamenting my lack of funds to buy the tangerine flicker dress on ebay. thanks for the inspiration!ReplyDelete
you have inspired to me repair a dress i thought was lost! i bought a lovely flowy green silk dress while on holiday and wore it out that night and some sauce flick onto the chest and i didn't even think about washing it till i got home and by then the stain had set! but now i will patch it up with some lace and will be a beauty! thanks for the idea!!ReplyDelete
disregard you makeup-less face!? I hope you are joking because you look absolutely stunning! Your face skin is so radiant and smooth I'd swear you had cover up at the least. seriously though you really don't need makeup (as does NO ONE of course but I def look a bit sleepy w/out eye makeup). Anyway, amazing job w/ that dress, I find it much more beautiful than the original in fact, so classy and you look great in that color, nicely done!ReplyDelete
WOW! What a great job you superstar :o) xReplyDelete
this is absolutely gorgeous. I need to get some of this liquid stitch stuff asap.ReplyDelete
this is SO incredibly fantastic! I went back and forth over buying that Anthro dress also. It was SO pretty, but just so so expensive. You have really inspired me to do this!ReplyDelete
thank you so much for the idea,
Sarah - I've been thinking about this dress all night. It's just so beautiful! I checked the site and there is one size left but it's a size too small for me, was just wondering how tight the actual waist is true to the sizing chart. I have a small bust and small hips but not much of a waist, so I'm wondering if getting the smaller size will be a big mistake.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi! The waist is elastic so it's very stretchy. I got petite US size 2 and it fits perfectly. I'm usually a size 0. So I'm sure the regular, not petite size runs a tiny bit bigger than petite sizes. You seem very skinny so I think you'll be fine! Best luck and l would love to see the final result if you decide to do it!Delete
Umm just found your site from the blog, Oh So Lovely Vintage...and I LOVE this dress you have done! Beautiful. Absolutely. Inspiring.ReplyDelete
AND...you are beautiful as well...so no more posts about a "make-up less" face..and how you are sick of your face. Embrace. The dress is awesome, and obviously, so are you!
This is better than the original :OReplyDelete
Gorgeous dress and so are you... keep the face in there. No make up needed!ReplyDelete
Very pretty!ReplyDelete
Well done, very nice!ReplyDelete
Well done, so nice!ReplyDelete
WOw! I keep seeing this on pinterest and wondering where it came from- SO cute!! I like yours even better then the anthro dress! And you look beautiful even without makeup!ReplyDelete
Oh my word, I LOVE what you've done here!!! I wanted this dress desperately too :oReplyDelete
I love this dress. I want to find a dress like this and recreate your DIY. Great job, great tutorial.ReplyDelete
I LOVE the dress!!! I like it ten times better than the anthro version! I would love to have a dress like this! By the way, you are beautiful!!! You don't even NEED make-up! You are lovely and I love your hair and bangs!ReplyDelete
I love Anthro, but your version is way better! I would flip out and buy yours on the spot if I saw it! I think this is an old post, so I'll have to just use it as inspiration.ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for reading this blog and for taking the time to comment! I appreciate and love reading each one of your comments.

Horse safety, not emotion, should drive carriage rules
Considering the emotional responses prompted by the very public collapse, and the subsequent death, of Jerry the carriage horse on a hot summer day, the Salt Lake City Council's decision to delay taking any action is the right one.
Nevertheless, the council shouldn't merely let the issue die as the public outcry wanes. The health of the horses that pull carriages loaded with tourists around downtown should continue to be a concern. Any ordinance change should also consider the safety of residents and tourists, although there have been few accidents on city streets involving horse-drawn carriages.
The council voted this week, after a wide-ranging discussion, to ask Salt Lake Mayor Ralph Becker to work with Salt Lake County Animal Services, which regulates the use and possession of animals in the city, to come up with new regulations.
Those new rules should consider reliable research on what horses need when they are working on city streets in hot weather. Carriage business owners should be required to provide for those needs, and they should be monitored to make sure they stick to the rules.
Jerry's owners said he died of colic, and there is no reason to dispute what they say. Colic can debilitate and kill a horse quickly.
But did the near 100-degree temperatures make colic more likely? Was the horse getting enough water in that heat?
The current ordinance allows horses to work in extremely hot, humid conditions with minimal water breaks during the day. Those lax requirements should be tightened. But eliminating carriages and carriage horses from downtown during the summer tourist season isn't warranted.
Horses have worked in cities for centuries. It's true that 100-plus years ago many were mistreated and died of overwork, but in modern times, with requirements for up-to-date health and safety measures, many horses carry police officers and pull carriages with no ill effects.
To be valued in the 21st century, horses need to provide a service to humans. Few 1,600-pound hay-burners will be kept as pasture ornaments.
If their needs are met, Jerry's co-workers in the carriage business can live long, productive lives. And that's their best insurance against being put to an early death, one way or another.

Americans headed toward New Year's Eve wondering if the United States was going to fall off the "fiscal cliff." Tax cuts were set to expire and federal spending was facing automatic cuts while leaders in Washington, D.C., blamed each other for not being able to reach a compromise. At the last minute, they cobbled together a plan that largely kicked the country's federal budget problems down the road a few months.
Time flies. Here we are again.
Now the country faces a so-called sequester one week from today, on March 1. If Congress and the president fail to reach a budget deal by then, federal agencies will put in motion plans to cut $1.2 trillion across the board over 10 years.
While a big chunk of that would come from the Pentagon, the across-the-board cuts affect everything from federal rental assistance to small business loan guarantees to Head Start to food stamps to our national parks. In an already fragile economy, as many as one million jobs will be put at risk, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projects.
James Clapper, the nation's director of national intelligence, warns the cuts "will create an immediate national security crisis situation." Flights could be delayed if air traffic controllers have to be furloughed. Civilian workers for the military will be furloughed. Benefits for members of the military are in jeopardy. And on and on.
It's a big deal. But it's a crisis because Congress has failed to do its job. Alice Rivlin, the respected founding director of the Congressional Budget Office and President Bill Clinton's budget director, told The Des Moines Register's editorial board this week, "It's bad for the economy, and it's bad for the government to have this across-the-board cutting and not attack the problem going forward."
Congress must quickly work together, Democrats and Republicans, to find agreement on the best way to tackle the federal budget without harming families and an already fragile economy. But instead of working to solve this looming budget problem, the 535 members of Congress went on another weeklong vacation and President Barack Obama flew to Florida for a weekend of golf with Tiger Woods.
Is it any wonder our nation is facing this financial mess? Is it too much to expect that these public servants forego vacations and stay in Washington to work on this problem?
Americans are wondering if the November election had any impact on the partisan gridlock that plagues the federal government. Both sides act as if they won the election. In reality, neither side received a mandate. Instead, voters spoke out for compromise.
It's about time that Congress gets down to business and starts that compromising and avoids the sequester.

The two methods used to sanitize dishes are high temperature water (between 180 and 195° F) and chemicals (low-temp). High-temp machines tend to do a better job of cleaning the dishes, and once the hot dishes hit the air, they flash dry, which practically eliminates water spots. For units that do use hot water to sanitize the dishes, you will also want to check to see if a booster is included. If not, you will need to select an appropriately sized unit in order to assure that the final rinse temperature is correct.
The conveyor itself can be set to go either left-to-right or right-to-left. This is something that must be specified because it is preset at the factory. Be sure you plan out the flow of dirty and clean dishes in your establishment before specifying conveyor travel direction. The units are very large and hard to reposition once in place. Selecting the wrong direction means that your entire dishwashing area may need to be redesigned.

The good Lord gave us everything we have, therefore, nothing could be more fitting than to remember Him in our wills.
When you give to the Salesian Missions, you help His work in so many lands... His people who need assistance. You bring His love and His care to many who desperately need it.
Here is one form of bequest:
"I, ___________, give and bequeath to the Salesian Missions of the Salesian Society, Inc., a charitable and religious Society, incorporated under the laws of the State of New York, with headquarters at 2 Lefevre Lane, P.O. Box 30, New Rochelle, NY, 10802-0030, the sum of $________ to be used at the discretion of the Mission Director for the works of charity in mission lands."

If you have made mistakes, there is always another chance for you. You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call 'failure' is not the falling down, but the staying down.
Having a challenging time getting back on track? Remember baby steps. When struggling with something, exercise, water, healthy eating, go back a step or three. Try to establish good habits again, no matter how small they seem, and build on your successes. It won't be long before you're back on track again.
Wall push-ups are a good way to get more upper-body exercise when you may not have time for floor push-ups, or maybe you're not so great at floor push-ups. They benefit chest, shoulders, arms/triceps, and core muscles. Step back just a little (safely) to "lean into the wall" more, and make the push-ups a bit more challenging. If you need to protect a wall from natural oil from your hands, try wearing non-slip or rubber gloves.
Each song is avg 4 minutes so for each song do 10 sit ups and after the 10 sit ups breathe until the song ends and do it again for 3 more songs :) in less than 20 minutes you will do 40 sit ups and have no breathing issues

The concept of the Farmer's Market has grown considerably in Macon County. John Boetjens was one of the original members of the downtown Farmer's Market when it first started in Franklin in 2000. He said that there were three other people besides himself at that time, and now the market averages 20 vendors each week. The market gives the people a chance to get together, says Boetjens, and any sense of competition does not matter. He pointed out that, even if there are several people with the same things, they could not produce enough to supply every person in Macon County, therefore, there would always be a demand for whatever the vendors have. He has been selling all of the vegetables he brings almost every week.
Donald Carringer, a physician at Western Carolina University, who also sells produce on the weekends, agrees with Boetjens. Both men said that the market is growing significantly. There are more vendors, more variety of wares, and more visitors each year.
Carringer said that this is the fourth season that he and his wife have been coming to the Farmer's Market. Each week they have homegrown vegetables, homemade jams and jellies, baked goods, and various flower arrangements. "I have always been into gardening," Carringer explained, "and when we first moved to Franklin six years ago, we visited the Farmer's Market one time and I thought that this would be a good hobby to get into … I like places like Walmart and Ingles, but this market has more of a community feel to it than a big corporation."
The Wednesday Farmers Market is located on the Highlands Road below the flea market. A typical market will include plenty of fresh produce, baked goods, botanicals, cheeses and even homemade wine. Known as Country Home Co-op, some products can only be purchased if shoppers are members. Denny and Dianne Covher began the co-op as a way to promote a sustainable community. Vendors sell from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesdays until the end of October.
The Farmer's Market is the perfect place to begin and grow a small business. NC REAL is partnering with the Macon County Economic Development Commission, the Franklin Chamber of Commerce, the Town of Franklin, and Southwestern Community College to provide classes and training for small businesses, with some instruction especially for agriculture.
Trevor Dalton, coordinator for Macon County's Economic Development Commission (EDC), says that with these farmer's markets in Franklin, agriculture is a strong business. "We want to support these people that are growing food and making products at home and selling them at these markets," Dalton said. With the NC REAL classes being held at the Southwestern Macon campus, people that wish to start a business and know all about agriculture but not about business can learn about finances and other aspects of running a business.
The Farmer's Market will be open every Saturday until Thanksgiving.
Anyone interested in the entrepreneur classes can contact Linda Schlott at (828) 524-2516.
