Skirting The Truth
With all the current controversy surrounding Alex Rodriguez's leaked positive drug test from 2003, I just wanted to put in my two cents worth: I think he is still (while not outright lying) trying to cover up a large portion of his steroid involvement, or at least make it seem much more benign than it really was. The only thing different with A-Rod is that, once he was caught, he opened himself up to a live press conference (more accessibility than guys like Mark McGwire or Rafael Palmeiro, for example). He allowed himself to be put through the wringer and now hopes that his answers will prove satisfactory to warrant some forgiveness. I, however, do not believe that he is portraying himself in the correct light based on two portions of his recent comments:
First, he has not (to this point, and likely ever) given what I would consider a decent explanation for why he continued to take steroids. All he says is that he was "young, naive, and stupid", but to me that is a cop-out. You can't tell me that when A-Rod saw his HR numbers surpassing 50 (in 2001 and 2002), up from his usual low-40s number, he didn't realize it was because of the substances he was injecting into himself. Sure, Rodriguez may say that his rookie year in Seattle and his 2007 Yankees campaign were his two greatest seasons in the major leagues, but that is strictly a matter of opinion. I think that A-Rod knew EXACTLY what he was doing (taking steroids).
Also, we are all forgetting that MLB DID actually have a steroid "policy" in place before 2003. Basically, the policy stated that all substances deemed illegal outside the game were also illegal within the game. The steroid that A-Rod tested positive for, Primobolan, has never had an approved prescription use. Also, by itself it is a rather weak steroid, so it is often used in conjunction with other products (such as HGH, perhaps, the other substance that A-Rod tested positive for in '03…hmm).
Thus, there are two many loose ends and fishy coincidences here for me to completely believe A-Rod's claims. Plus, in 2007 (when under the steroid allegations of Jose Canseco) Rodriguez told Kate Couric point-blank that he never used steroids. Either he was a great liar, then, or a complete idiot. He wants us to believe that "idiot" line, but I lean towards the "liar".

Have you ever been hit with gas pains while you were stressed out? Or battled butterflies in your stomach before doing something daunting? If so, you've experienced the chemical and electrical communication that goes on between the brain in your head and the one in your digestive tract, which is known as the small or second brain.
The brain in your gut is not a discrete organ like the one up top; it is a network of nerves within the layers of tissue lining the walls of your digestive tract. This network's main job is to regulate the action taking place along the 30-foot tube extending from your esophagus to your anus and all the stops along the way: stomach, small intestine and large intestine. Long aware of the role these nerves play in the second-brain communication system, researchers have discovered a surprising new player—actually, about a trillion new players: the bacteria that live mainly on the inner walls of the large intestine.
These diverse bacteria perform several useful functions, such as digesting fiber, making vitamin K and some Bs and helping fend off the small amount of bacteria in your gut that could, in large enough numbers, make you sick. The "good" bacteria control the "bad" bacteria, either by producing substances that inhibit or kill the pathogens or by crowding out the troublesome bugs so it is difficult for them to adhere to the walls of the large intestine, says Kelly Scott Swanson, PhD, an associate professor in the department of animal sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Of the thousand or so kinds of bacteria in the gut, the most beneficial are probably the genera Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, notes Shekhar Challa, MD, a gastroenterologist in private practice in Topeka, Kansas, and author of Probiotics for Dummies. The term probiotics refers to good bacteria that live in food and certain supplements.
Researchers have known for years that stress can really rock this bacterial world. When your big brain senses a threat, glands pump out stress hormones that, among other things, trigger several chemical responses in your gut. As a result, the balance of good and bad bugs may be altered in favor of the -disease-causing bacteria, says Michaël Messaoudi, scientific and medical director of ETAP, a research laboratory in -Vandoeuvre-lès-Nancy, France. One study, for example, found that a hormone you produce when you're stressed, norepinephrine, increases the virulence of Escherichia coli, a well-known pathogen. Another bad boy, Campylobacter jejuni, which causes the most common type of infectious diarrhea, may also surge when you're under pressure.
The big news: In the past couple of years, scientists have discovered that just as the brain alters the gut bacteria, so too can these bacteria influence the brain. Not only do stress and your moods affect the functioning of your gut, but the bacteria in your large intestine may affect your mood and your emotional response to stress. For instance, animal experiments have shown that rises in Bifidobacteriaincrease levels of tryptophan circulating in the blood. Tryptophan is a precursor of the feel-good neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine.
Probiotics as Prozac
If the bacteria in your gut can affect your mind, is it possible to manipulate these bugs to bring about desirable changes? A French team led by Messaoudi believes the answer is yes. The researchers gave healthy but moderately anxious people a daily probiotic supplement that contained Lactobacillus helveticusand Bifidobacterium longum. After 30 days, the volunteers who had taken probiotics showed decreases in anger and depression and an increased ability to solve problems. A later analysis showed similar mood-lifting effects in subjects who were less stressed.
Along the same lines, researchers in Ireland found that probiotics—in this case, daily sips of the good bacteria Lactobacillus rhamnosus—altered the behavior of mice placed in conditions that normally cause stress and depression. After a few weeks of the regimen, the mice were confronted with a maze, which normally creates high anxiety in a mouse. Yet the mice that had sipped the probiotic punch were as laid back as if they were on Valium, says John Cryan, PhD, chairman of the anatomy and neuroscience department at University College Cork, who directed these experiments. The treated mice also had lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol than their fellow creatures that didn't get the Lactobacillus when stressed.
Cryan offers a theory for the calming effects of the Lactobacillus: The bacteria may secrete substances or interact with other substances in the gut that are taken in by the small brain and passed along the vagus nerve (which travels between the abdomen and the head) to the brain, where the chemical messengers activate receptors for GABA, a neurotransmitter that's connected with relaxation. Another theory, he says, is that those substances act directly on the vagus nerve.
Building better bacteria
Does this mean you could overcome a case of nerves tomorrow by eating foods that contain good bacteria (such as yogurt) or downing probiotic supplements? The simple answer: We don't know yet. "I can't tell you to go to the health food store and get a certain probiotic pill to help your mood," says Cryan, who notes that researchers are only beginning to figure out which strains of bacteria do what and to determine what doses are required to bring about desired effects.
Still, it makes sense to follow strategies that beef up the good bacteria in your gut: It might make you more stress resistant, probably will reduce inflammation in your digestive tract and will most likely lower your risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
The best starting point is what you eat. "Among the factors known to alter the profile of your bacterial world, diet is the strongest," says Jane Foster, PhD, an associate professor in the department of psychiatry and behavioral neurosciences at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. You can increase the amount of good bacteria in your body by consuming more foods that contain probiotics. Kefir, a fermented milk product, and cheese contribute probiotics, says Challa. Yogurt is a good source since, by the FDA definition, it contains Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus, and many manufacturers add other strains as well. Make sure the yogurt you buy has been refrigerated and the label confirms it contains "live" or "active" cultures (most supermarket brands are fine; frozen yogurts are iffier). Less obvious sources of probiotics include other fermented foods such as sauerkraut and kimchi (a Korean version of fermented cabbage) and naturally fermented pickles (fermented in briny water rather than vinegar; look for labels that don't include vinegar).
You can also boost good bugs by eating more foods that contain prebiotics, substances that stimulate the growth and activity of desirable bacteria already living in your intestine. They help the good bacteria survive or prosper better than other bacteria, Challa says. Pre-biotics, such as the fiber in oatmeal, are soluble fiber, the type that dissolves in water. (Insoluble fiber, like that found in wheat bran, does not dissolve, which is why it contributes bulk to your stool.)
In a recent study, Swanson and his colleagues demonstrated that pre-biotics can improve the composition of your bacterial world. Subjects who ate snack bars containing 21 grams of one of two kinds of soluble fiber, either polydextrose or soluble corn fiber, increased their Faecalibacterium, a bacterium known to have anti-inflammatory properties. Soluble corn fiber also boosted Lactobacillus, which, among other things, increases the acidity of the large intestine, making it harder for disease-causing bugs to survive. "Prebiotic-rich foods include oats, chicory, bananas, wheat, garlic and onions," says Challa. Other good sources of prebiotics are flaxseed, artichokes, barley, legumes and raw dandelion greens.
Although there's no established guideline for the optimal amount of prebiotics, the usual nutritional advice is to eat 30 to 35 grams of fiber (soluble and insoluble) a day to improve your digestive functioning and reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes and other problems. Most Americans consume less than half that amount.
The supplement route
Odds are you will not eat enough yogurt or other probiotic- and prebiotic-rich foods each day to make a huge change in your gut bacteria. Taking daily supplements of probiotics or synbiotics (a combo of prebiotics and probiotics) may be enough to put you over the top. If you decide, in concert with your physician, to get supplements, opt for those that contain a variety of bacteria strains; two you definitely want are Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, advises Challa. And don't drink anything hot for an hour after you take the pills, since heat destroys the bacteria.
There's one situation in which doctors may recommend probiotics, and that's when you take antibiotics, which typically decimate good bugs in your body along with the bad guys, potentially allowing more harmful ones to take over the colon. In this situation, "some people get diarrhea," says Braden Kuo, MD, instructor of medicine at the Harvard Medical School and director of the GI Motility Laboratory at Massachusetts General Hospital, both in Boston. If you really do need antibiotics, taking probiotic supplements may restore the healthy bacteria population in the gut. Your goal is to have a gastrointestinal tract dominated by healthy bacteria that can improve your mental and physical functioning while also fending off the dangerous bacteria.

Washington Republicans Folding Like Cheap Suits Under The Pressure to Ban Guns
Colorado -(Ammoland.com)- You might think that with Republicans in control of the US House of Representatives there would be no way ANY gun control legislation could reach the floor.
But sadly we are already beginning to see so-called conservative champions folding to pressure from the anti-gun media to sell-out gun owners.
Former Vice Presidential candidate, Congressman Paul Ryan, has stated that he would support legislation that bans private sales at gun shows.
In the House, Majority Leader Eric Cantor, along with the help of Rep. Scott Rigell (VA), Patrick Meehan (PA) and others, have stated openly that they will work together with anti-gun Democrats from Maryland and New York to tighten restrictions on private firearms sales and expand background checks.
Possibly even more upsetting has been Senator Tom Coburns willingness to work alongside anti-gunner Chuck Schumer (NY) to propose bi-partisan anti-gun legislation in the Senate.
Make no mistake, so-called expansion of background checks is little more than a blatant attempt by anti-gunners to register all firearms and gun owners in America.
That is why Representatives Steve Stockman (TX-36) and Paul Broun (GA-10) have drafted a letter to Speaker Boehner and the Republican leadership urging them to require the support of the majority of Republican members in the House before bringing any anti-gun bills to the floor.
This so-called Hastert Rule would mean that 117 Republicans would have to support a particular bill before it had any chance of getting a floor vote, not just the support of the anti-gun elitist in leadership.
Gun owners are under attack from all sides . . .
The Feinstein Gun Ban. The UN Small Arms Treay.
Unconstitutional Executive Orders from President Obama.
Increased intimidation of gun dealers from the ATF under the guidance of a radical Attorney General.
Anti-gun fat cats like Michael Bloomberg spending millions of dollars to produce misleading surveys and TV ads supporting dozens of bills in both the House and Senate that seek to ban hundreds of firearms outright.
The list goes on and on.
Now we as defenders of the Second Amendment have to watch our backs from the very people who were elected to fight against such encroachments.
With the House firmly in control by the Republicans, it is an absolute disgrace that such a letter from Stockman and Broun even needs to be written in the first place.
Thankfully for you and I, we have a few good men left in Congress.
It just goes to show that at the end of the day (with a few exceptions) that politicians will only do what is right if they are pressured into it.
Again and again it has been demonstrated that gun owners greatest allies are themselves.
That is why I am asking you to ask your Congressman to openly support the Stockman-Broun letter to Speaker Boehner. Call today!
Tell them that if they really support your rights then you need to see action!
Signing the Stockman-Broun letter is a good first step in signifying support for the Second Amendment.

Black Blade: The Republican Party is dead. Just like the Whig Party before them they have come to the end of their lifespan as a Party. Time for the Republican Party to disolve and true Americans to form a new party (perhaps even join the Libertarian Party). Whatever they choose it's time to drive a stake through the heart of what's left of the Republican Party and leave these turncoats behind twisting in the wind. The Republican Party has arrived at its "Whig Party Moment" in history.

Reviews for Taco Biscuit Bake
"It was good but not great."
"I halved the recipe but still used the full can of chili. Not very healthy but the family liked it. Would make again."
"I made this tonight. Although we liked it enough to probably make it again, it won't be going into our favorite recipes. It was just okay. After reading the previous comments about too much bread, I used only one 6 oz. tube of biscuits in a 9 x 7 1/2 glass baking dish. It was still too much bread. Between the chili, taco seasoning, and the cheese, it was much too salty for my taste. Next time I'll probably use half a package of taco seasoning instead."
"This was very tasty, but too much bread and not enough filling. I would either use 2 lbs. of meat and 2 taco seasonings or I would use 1 tube of biscuits and cook in a 11X7 dish instead."
"We loved the concept with the biscuits and salsa and my kids liked arranging the biscuits in the pan. We may try it again, but we would cut out the chili and fill in with more of the taco meat."

Improving Soil With Gypsum (page 3 of 3)
by Garn Wallace with Shelly Stiles
Gypsum and pH
In most situations gypsum has little effect on soil pH. Use limestone to raise pH of acid soils, and elemental sulfur to lower pH of alkaline soils. However, if soil is alkaline because of high bicarbonate ions, or if irrigation water contains bicarbonate, the soluble calcium in gypsum reacts with the bicarbonate to form insoluble calcium carbonate. The pH of the soil is decreased to the range of 7.5 to 7.8 when bicarbonate is reduced. Also, limestone does not move through the soil to lower depths. Gypsum is the best way to supply calcium to soil and roots below cultivation depth.
Gypsum as Metals Protector
Heavy metals, such as cadmium, copper, lead and nickel, are toxic to plants in excess amounts, as well as to the people who eat the plants. Soils in or near some industrialized areas and soils very heavily amended with municipal sewage sludge might contain toxic amounts of heavy metals. Plants generally absorb less of the heavy metals from soil when gypsum is applied. Metals also become more toxic in highly acid soils. In those cases, use limestone to reduce acidity and metal toxicity. Some of the heavy metals plants absorb never move farther than the roots, the reason you should not grow root crops, such as carrots, in contaminated soil.
Using Gypsum
A calcium analysis of your garden's soil or an assay of calcium uptake in your plants is the best way to gauge your garden's gypsum needs. Most Cooperative Extension Service soil tests include calcium if you request it. Either very low (below about 5.5) or very high (above 8.2) pH values are also indicative of a need for calcium. If your soil pH is alkaline (above 7.0), make sure your lab doesn't rely on an acidic testing agent, as many do. The results won't accurately portray what goes on in your garden.
Natural-mined and finely milled gypsum costs $3 to $4 for a 10-pound bag, about the price of limestone. It's also available in 50- and 80-pound bags. Apply 10 pounds per 1,000 square feet of garden area up to three times each growing season to correct calcium deficiencies. Over-application of gypsum is generally not a problem because it has low solubility and the increase in salinity is low. Look for high-purity, natural-mined gypsum. Although natural-mined gypsum is considered "organic" by the country's organic certification programs, gypsum-based by-products and recycled materials are not.

Selita Ebanks
Georgetown, Cayman Islands
"There is only room for a certain amount of black actresses in this industry. I don't want to fall into the zone of playing the 'ghetto bootalicious baby mama drama.' I want to play something with depth, like a crackhead or something."
-Selita Ebanks, on planning her acting career.
Best known for being one of the new faces (and figures) of Victoria's Secret, Selita Ebanks has an impressive modeling portfolio, having posed for everyone from Sports Illustrated to Neiman Marcus (she made quite the appearance in the February 2008 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition). She also worked as a Victoria's Secret Angel until early 2009. Her latest role as a half-bird, half-woman in Kanye West's 34-minute music video "Runaway" has her wearing a different pair of wings, and almost nothing else.
There is one hurdle we can think of for any potential Selita Ebanks-wooers: She has seven brothers. And knowing how protective brothers can be of their sisters, it's a sure thing that anyone going with Selita Ebanks had better be on his absolute best behavior.
Selita Ebanks wasn't a household name outside the fashion world until her 2005 debut for Victoria's Secret, which was the spark she needed to gain recognition outside of designer circles. Her forays into acting and singing couldn't hurt either, especially since the window for a model to become a supermodel is a narrow one indeed.
Selita Ebanks BiographySelita Ebanks was born in Georgetown, Cayman Islands, on February 15, 1983. She was raised in a large family that included seven brothers, and because of that, Selita Ebanks played many sports growing up, such as basketball, football and tennis. But the family was quite poor, living in what Selita Ebanks later described as "a little blue, zinc-roof shack on Walkers Road." Often, Selita Ebanks didn't even have shoes to wear to Georgetown primary school. Yet Selita Ebanks' family, and her mother in particular, encouraged her development through exposure to extra-curricular programs.
Eventually, the young Selita Ebanks found herself moving to America, and she settled on Staten Island. She proved to be a good student in high school, and was later accepted into Columbia and New York University. But Selita Ebanks' life had already taken an unexpected turn that would put her higher education on hold. At the age of 17, Selita Ebanks was discovered by a modeling agent at New Jersey's Six Flags Great Adventure.

Promptly after being discovered, Selita Ebanks was making a big splash as an up-and-coming model. Starting out with catalogs and commercials, Selita Ebanks was soon gracing the pages of magazines such as Sports Illustrated, Glamour, Marie Claire, Vogue, and Nylon. In addition to magazines, Selita Ebanks also landed notable ad campaigns for Tommy Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren and Levi's.
Part of Selita Ebanks' quick success was due to the relationship with her agency, Women Models, whom she felt never treated her like "just another model." Indeed, industry insiders were impressed when Women Models' CEO Chris Gay landed Selita Ebanks a lucrative contract with Victoria's Secret. The deal resulted in Selita Ebanks' biggest show to date, appearing alongside veteran models Heidi Klum and Tyra Banks at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in 2005. Tyra Banks, who retired from modeling thereafter, passed the Victoria's Secret torch on to Selita Ebanks on a November 2005 broadcast of The Tyra Banks Show.

Meanwhile, Selita Ebanks was looking past her modeling career and trying to establish herself as an all-around entertainer. She began looking for small film roles and began recording music as well. In early 2006, she had a small role on the first few episodes of South Beach, a new UPN sex-and-surf drama starring fellow model Vanessa Williams and executive produced by Jennifer Lopez.
Selita Ebanks divides her time between New York, Los Angeles and the Cayman Islands. She's active with community organizations such as the Seamen's Society of Staten Island and the Stardom Youth Foundation in Georgetown, Cayman Islands, which she started to help young Caymanians reach their potential in a wide range of endeavors.
In 2008, Selita Ebanks appeared in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.

I hate running. Actually, I hate exercise. Yet, I do it because I know it's good for me. So, when I'm running (my exercise of choice), I try to fix my mind on other things so that I won't think about how bad I want to stop.
I've noticed that lots of people, especially women, tend to like to run with a partner, and that's cool. However, for me, I consider my running time "me alone time," and I like to use it to think, pray, meditate, philosophize (is that a word?), and come up with astounding blog posts. I also like silence when I run, which is another reason I don't want to run with somebody else. I don't even listen to music when running because I find it distracting from my goal of thinking.
Which brings me to my latest, and what seems to be recurring, thought during my last few morning runs. First, let me say that I run (jog, trod, drag my ass) around a lake (swamp) each day. I run early in the morning so it's quiet and peaceful. I can see and hear all kinds of birds and even witness fish jumping up out of the water (not sure what they're doing, but it seems to work for them). Yet, despite all the natural beauty, I approach that lake each day as my nemesis, the one thing standing in my way until I can go sit down. I face that .9 mile (don't laugh) circle of water each daybreak, knowing what I must do. So, I begin. One skeletal jarring stride after the other. My thoughts at this point: God, my legs hurt. Could that pain in my eye be a stroke? Was that gas or a chest pain? But these are not the thoughts I'm talking about.
At about the half-way point around the lake, I instinctively look ahead to consider how much farther I have until today's "race" is over. When I realize the distance ahead of me, I immediately feel discouraged or, at least, disheartened. The other side of the lake looks so far. Can I make it? Will I make it? Thinking about my future - even just the next 10 minutes of this run - makes me feel unsure, a little dreadfull, a little anxious.
So, here's what I decide to do. I immediately decide to look back, not forward. Not literally — I'd trip (that would be pretty) — but figuratively. I switch my mind to thinking not on how much more I have to go, but how far I've already come. I reflect on how, when I began this run, I was hopeful, optimistic, and focused. Keep running. How I laughed out loud when I passed that crazy bird standing in the lake on one leg — a feat that he doesn't even know he shouldn't, aerodynamically, be able to do. Keep running. How six years ago I couldn't have walked, let alone run, around this lake without feeling winded. Keep running. How I haven't stopped yet, why would I stop now? Keep running.
What? I'm finished? I've made it all the way around the lake?! I think a metaphorical lesson in life just occurred.
Just like my half-way point in the lake, I'm at the half-way point in life (O.K., probably more than half-way), and I can get a little freaked out when I think about what the future might hold. Too many unknowns, too many reasons to give up. So, maybe being future-thinking isn't always the way to go. Certainly, being "in the moment" has its place. But I've discovered, too, that looking back has more purpose than I ever realized, or was willing to admit, in my goal-oriented, future-driven life. Everybody knows that reflecting on past successes adds depth to our experiences and helps to build confidence. But, I also think it serves to distract us from fear and insecurity so that we can (and will) keep moving forward. I never really thought about it that way before. Who knew being distracted could be a good thing?
Could you use a little "reflective distraction" in your life right now so you can move forward? It sounds a little counterintuitive, but I'm suggesting it just might work.

Well sir, sometimes, one has to eat his own words, or at the least take a bite out of 'em.
That's what I've been doing this week, thanks to the plunging thermometer.
Now, I gotta admit this "Remember when" stuff is a rehash of days long gone by.
You remember? We were young. Life wasn't so complicated and folks didn't jump off the deep end over things of little or no consequence.
Bless Pete, when the weather got cold, I slipped on flannel pajamas and crawled down beneath that double wool blanket to stay warm.
The mere mention of fruitcake can cause many a face to frown and crinkle.
My mug isn't one of the them. To me, a slice of homemade fruitcake is the crowning touch to a cup of piping hot coffee.
Many of you have been done in by those poor, mass-produced, poor-excuse-for-fruitcakes sold by retailer merchants.
You know, I can understand your disdain.
Each year, my late Uncle John of Evans Oil Company would dole out those Georgia-made concoctions to his regular customers as a show of holiday cheer.
– Editor's note: Due to requests from our readers, we are reprinting this Remember When column, which was originally published in the Nov. 9, 2008, edition of The Lancaster News.
At one time, the significance of Nov. 11 – Veterans Day – wasn't lost on anyone.
Of course, World War I ended years before I was born, but Uncle Harry made sure I was well-schooled on what he called the Great War or the War to End All Wars.
There was a bunch of World War I soldiers around, too.
It was late October. The leaves were slowly turning colors, but the days were still sunny and warm.
I was up and at it for another day of school and could smell hot buttered toast coming from the kitchen.
I walked in to find some Merita and a bowl of Wheaties waiting for me on the white enameled table.
Momma was scurrying about to making sure I'd be at school on time. Shucks, school was only three houses up the street. I seriously doubt I would be late, but I could never convince her of that.
Most of you reading this right now know I don't claim to be a newspaper reporter.
I just like to share a few childhood memories the way I remember them.
For me, the exact dates that stuff happened is as hard to recall as an incumbent's voting record in Washington, D.C.
Talk about being in the right time at the right place, we had been reading "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" about the Headless Horseman who roamed the New England countryside.
Looking back, if I had a brownie for every time I have uttered "if I could live my life over, I wouldn't make the same mistakes" phrase, I could pick the penny counter clean inside Mr. Dunn's place.
Yes sir, we've all said it plenty of times. But in reality, if we could live it over again, we'd surely make some of the same errors and surely wished we hadn't.
Now think about this; you're standing on a sandy beach and a bottle washes ashore beneath your bare feet.
The Chamber of Commerce is getting all revved up with its "Think Lancaster First" campaign.
Shucks, that's nothing new. Most folks around here always figured our old town came first.
In the late 1940s, down at the Roach Stewart Athletic Field behind Lancaster High School, it was real easy to put Lancaster first.
Especially when a tough football team like the Chester Red Cyclone came to town.
Local school kids were decked out in Hurricane Blue and toting sacks of steaming hot dogs from Mr. Lingles' Arch Street stand.
Mostly cloudy, with a chance of showers and thunderstorms Sunday morning, with showers and thunderstorms likely in the afternoon.
Now, I'm not a fan of playing in the rain, but seeing how bad we need it, I hope all the folks sitting in Panthers' stadium today get drenched.
You know, rain can be a double-edged sword.
We really need it, but don't want it on the weekends.
Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of interesting things to do, such as checking out the Walmart inventory during a downpour.
I like this Saturday retirement stuff, well, most of the time, anyway.
These days, Saturday means everybody is at home, which lessens my great-granddad duties, to a degree.
Clad in a white T-shirt and khaki shorts with those two-sizes-too-large bedroom shoes on my feet, I was just about settled in my favorite away-from-home chair when something dragged me back into reality.
I had gotten comfortable and just closed my eyes when I heard my sweet wife's bull horn.
"Get cleaned up," she said. "We're going to the mall."
Time didn't really matter much because somebody was always telling me when to come and when to go.
Now we had clocks all over the house, including the big wind-up downstairs Roman numeral grandfather clock where the half-pint bottle of cough medicine (whiskey) was kept.
I couldn't tell time, but I knew exactly where the cough medicine was.
For me, learning to tell time was a bit confusing.
Mama and Daddy didn't do it like the way Miss Jones was teaching us in third grade.

Select an occupation Accounting Clerk Administrative Assistant Armed Services Personnel Assembler Bus Driver Carpenter Cashier Chef Clergy Computer Technician Construction Worker Correctional Officer Custodian Customer Service Representative Disabled Driver Electrician Factory Worker Food and Beverage Service Worker Forklift Operator Hairstylist Housekeeping Service Worker Janitor Journalist Laborer Machinist Maintenance Worker Manager Mechanic Media Professional Military Service Member Office Worker Package Handler Painter Performing Artist Plumber Production Worker Retail Sales Worker Retiree Salesperson Secretary Security Specialist Student Supervisor Teacher Tradesperson Truck Driver Unemployed Waiter-Waitress Warehouse Worker Welder Back Machinist If you are a tradesman, including a computer technician, electrician, carpenter, construction worker, forklift operator, mechanic, machine operator, painter, plumber, welder or laborer, you should receive Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, from your employer. Payments that you receive for providing trade services, outside of or in addition to your regular job, may be considered income from self-employment and reportable on Schedule C, Profit or Loss from Business. For example, self-employed income would include payments received for installing overhead fans in a residence or wiring backyard lighting for a homeowner. For such arrangements, you may account for the income amounts yourself or you may receive a Form 1099-MISC, Miscellaneous Income. If you are self-employed and your net earnings are $400 or more, you must pay self-employment tax on the income you report on Schedule C. In addition, you may need to make estimated payments to cover the amount of self-employment tax or income tax associated with the income you report on Schedule C. You may be able to reduce your taxes by deducting un-reimbursed, job-related expenses. These expenses may be claimed as miscellaneous Itemized Deductions on Schedule A, Itemized Deductions, or, if attributable to self employment, they may be deductible on Schedule C. You should keep receipts to substantiate these expenses. Examples of some of the items you may be able to deduct include: Subscriptions to trade journals related to your work Dues for trade associations or unions Insurance premiums for protection against liability or wrongful acts Specialized equipment or tools that are replaceable within one year Safety equipment such as steel-toed shoes or boots The cost and upkeep of uniforms if they are required for work and not suitable for everyday wear (for example, specialized coveralls, hard hat, work gloves, safety shoes, and goggles not suitable as street wear) State or local government regulatory fees, licenses, or flat rate occupational taxes, provided these fees are not paid for initial certification or licensing You may be able to deduct job hunting expenses you have while you are temporarily unemployed as long as your new job is in the same field of work as your previous job. Holding odd jobs during the period of temporary unemployment does not disqualify you from deducting the job hunting expenses. For example, a plumber working temporarily as a pipe fitter until finding another plumbing job may deduct job hunting expenses. You also may be able to deduct work-related education courses or seminars if they meet certain requirements. Education typically meeting the requirements includes refresher courses, courses on current developments and vocational courses. However, education that qualifies you for a new trade or business or that helps you to meet the minimum education requirements of your present trade or business is not deductible. For example, an electrician cannot deduct the expenses of going to general contractor school to become a contractor. Additional expenses may be deductible if you are a self-employed tradesman filing Schedule C. Examples of some items you may be able to deduct include: Business bad debts Car and truck expenses when getting from one work site to another Employee salaries or other forms of compensation such as bonuses or commissions Legal and professional fees, such as accounting or legal advice that are directly related to the operation of your business Rental expense for business use property such as trailer and equipment rentals Travel expenses for traveling away from your business home if you are required to be away from home for longer than an ordinary day's work - examples of deductible travel expenses include transportation by car, air, or bus, tolls and parking fees, lodging, and meals (with limitations) Advertising Tool and equipment repairs and maintenance Supplies and incidental materials Excise taxes and personal property taxes imposed on your business

Scholarship Winner Builds Bridges of Understanding
Fu Hamabe, an international student at the School of International Service in the Ritsumeikan University dual-degree program, is this year's recipient of the Class of 1967 Scholarship. The scholarship honors an SIS international undergraduate student who exemplifies dedication to change, belief in education, and giving back to our communities.
Born and raised in a Korean community in Kyoto, Japan, most of Hamabe's close neighbors and friends had roots from the Korean peninsula. Growing up, she struggled between her Japanese nationality and Korean culture, and observed the often tense relations between the two nations. Eventually, she grew weary of remaining silent about her internal struggle and decided to make a difference.
"I'm tired of seeing the island dispute and other historical issues on TV," she says. "I'm tired of ignoring these situations. I'm tired of listening to international students from East Asia say that 'it does not matter' because it does matter, and now it is time to be 'the change' together. We want P.E.A.C.E. for East Asia."
Hamabe's primary academic focus is Peace Studies. After several semesters in Japan, she was eager to study abroad, specifically in the United States. Her professor, Akihiko Kimijima, previously taught at American University as a visiting scholar, and recommended that she study at AU.
At AU, Hamabe is a founding member of a Dialogue Development Group (DDG), which provides a forum where Chinese and Japanese students can get to know one another.
"We started by getting to know each other and each other's culture. Then, gradually, we started talking about island dispute issues and other historical issues between China and Japan. The goal was to get rid of tension between us and build 'real friendship'," Hamabe says.
This semester, Fu Hamabe also started the club P.E.A.C.E. (Peace of East Asia in Creative Engagement).
"I want to provide a space for students to take risks, ask questions, and share their opinions in order to overcome the difficult and sensitive situations involving our people," she says. "I want to allow a connection between East Asian students and people who are involved in peace in East Asia. My hope for us is to be the bridge of East Asia." Upon graduation, Hamabe plans to obtain her license to teach at the junior high school level in Japan. She may also study in Korea or Germany.

An inside look at the SAGES program.
Many people are surprised when they learn that we teach all ages at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum – from toddlers to adults. As a Presidential
Fellow in Case Western Reserve University's SAGES program (the Seminar Approach to General Education and Scholarship) I have been teaching Rock and Roll Hall of Fame courses to undergraduates for the last three years with topics such as "Writing Rock and Roll" and "Rock and Roll Subcultures."
When I teach, I always try to lead students to that elusive "ah-ha" moment, when they begin to really understand why the subject matters. Last week in my college course "Electro Pop: The History of Popular Electronic Music," the class had that kind of moment. Through our discussion of Luigi Russolo's 1913 essay The Art of Noises students realized that electronic music allowed them to use any and all sounds. Because of this it gave each of them, regardless of their musical background, a chance to be composers. And that musicians and artists have been saying that since as early as 1913. Ah-ha.
Last year, Ted Ottaviano of the synth-pop band Book of Love contacted ...

KidsCuteture is offering our readers a giveaway of a $20 gift certificate!
KidsCuteture, a WAHM business run by Elisha Cram, sells various "handmade children's items that are almost as adorable as your kids." Some of the items available in the shop include: knitted and crocheted hats, photo props, tutus, cloth diapers and cloth diapering accessories. I received a one size pocket diaper to review, and I've purchased fitted diapers and fleece diaper liners from KidsCuteture in the past as well.
Though my son Daniel is sensitive to synthetics, the pique lining Elisha uses in her diapers doesn't bother his skin at all. After enjoying using her fitted diapers for several months, I was excited to try out one of her new pocket diapers. KidsCuteture one size pocket diapers have a three step snap down rise adjustment, and Daniel (at 20 pounds and 30 inches tall) is on the middle rise setting.
The diaper's pocket opening is in the middle of the inside of the diaper, closer to the back (instead of at the very front or back seam, like most other pocket diapers) which allows the inserts to agitate out in the washing machine. It came with two cotton flats as inserts, which isn't something I've seen before with a pocket diaper, but I was definitely interested in trying it out. (I ended up liking the flats very much—more on that later.)
I've used this diaper for both daytime (stuffed with one flat) and nighttime (stuffed with two) and I've not had any leakage issues. (Daniel is a heavy wetter and we do sometimes have morning leaks in a few of the other nighttime diaper configurations we've tried.) The fit of the diaper is similar to the other pocket diapers I have. It's not extremely trim, but it's not the bulkiest diaper I have, either. When it's stuffed with just one flat, it's (perhaps, obviously) much slimmer than when it's stuffed two. Trimness isn't a quality in a cloth diaper that I care about very much, to be honest. We buy clothes that fit well over them, and I really enjoy patting Daniel's fluffy cloth bum!
The diaper has elastic at both the front and back (as well as the legs) which makes for a more snug fit around the waist than other diapers I have. It's not tight at all, nor does it leave red marks, but there is no gaping in the front. I like that feature of the diaper, because whenever there's even a small gap in the front of Daniel's diaper, he puts his hands down the gap and pulls at the front of his diaper.
BUY IT!You can purchase your own pocket diapers (and various cloth diapering accessories and other kids items) at KidsCuteture. A pocket diaper like the one I reviewed retails for $20 before shipping.

Let me convince you to help fund a movie. This is the year for positive, uplifting atheist documentaries. (Well, actually, next year. They are being made now. They'll probably be out then.) Two are already nearly in the can, The Scarlett Letter and Coming Out in America. Letter (directed by John Jennings) focuses on atheist leaders (not solely, but largely) and explores their lives and philosophy and the growing movement of organized atheism in America and what's driving it (as you'll see in the trailer, I was interviewed and will likely be among those featured in it). Out (directed by Christophe Fauchère) focuses on the goals and challenges of atheists "coming out" as atheists and dealing with the backlash from friends, family, coworkers, and community, and why more and more atheists are doing it, especially in colleges and high schools. Two great documentaries I am definitely looking forward to.
But there is another that might get made, if the filmmaker can raise the money to do it. And I think if you can help, you definitely should. It's Hug an Atheist, and it sets itself apart from those other two films in ways that make it yet another film I really want to see, if only we can find enough financial supporters to make it possible. It will be directed by Sylvia Broeckx, a cool Belgian girl living in the UK, and that is unique feature number one: she comes from a background of European culture that simply sees nothing like the hostility to atheism we do over here, and she has become increasingly appalled by it (her trailer exemplifies what I mean, as does her accompanying mission statement). She will be able to give us a nuanced compare-and-contrast point of view between how it is and how it could be, informed by her foreign background and point of view.
But unique feature number two is even more important: she will be focusing not just on documenting the unusual hostility and ignorance and fear and bigotry toward atheists and atheism in America, but even more on showing positive atheist values and what atheist lives and families are really like. As Sylvia puts it in her video:
The film will show how [atheists] find meaning and purpose by highlighting how they deal with some of life's key aspects, such as family, work, love, marriage, and grief.
This is really something of value we need to see produced and available. Several other atheist movement leaders have endorsed the project and want to see it made as well, including Hemant Mehta and Greta Christina. I'm with them on this.
Sylvia is a professional filmmaker and will be fronting nearly half of the $50,000 budget, but she needs $27,000 of it to come from outside investors. You won't get any ownership of the film, but you will get various gifts the more you give (see her Indiegogo page, and look at the options down the right margin: the more you donate, the cooler stuff you get, although really you will just be giving to see the film get made, and that's reason enough). At last look she had raised only a tenth of her goal, and she can't go forward with the project if she doesn't meet her target (she will already be fronting a lot of the cost herself, and these kinds of projects are not cheap to pull off).
As with most funding sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo, if she doesn't reach her target, all your money is refunded. If she does reach her target, the film gets made. And then you'll get to see it next year. So it can't hurt to pledge something. This kind of project really needs wealthy donors who can pledge a lot (so do, if you can). But if enough small donations come in, that can make a difference, too. That would require you to get more people than just yourself on board, so if you want to see this film made like I do, try to convince at least two more people to join you, and try to convince them each to get two more people to join them, and so on. I have donated $100 to her project myself. Can we convince 250 people to do the same?
Let's try!

Ergo, a nice chunk of my Next 96 will be spent alone in a dark room with slippery hands watching Carey Mulligan ...(wait, that didn't come out right).
Here's flick no. 1 (and yes, I know Shia is hard to swallow as the new Bud Fox - till you've actually hung w/a bunch of Wharton grads in midtown - they're all about 5'3", date bored-looking models, wear double-windsors and know nothing of broad shoulders, clear eyes or hearts)... genius casting; here's the trailer:
Thursday, it's the kick off to Stieg Larsson week at the PC Film Series; (watch the original 'Girl' movies - better with subtitles) ...b/c, of course, director master-of-dark-and-deliberate David Fincher (Seven, Fight Club and waaaay-anticipated/poorly executed The Social Network) will re-boot the already excellent Swedish phenom in the US next fall.
The late Larsson's first novel was literary dynamite (40 million copies sold ...and counting) and the first film (limited release in the US, see: subtitiles, grossed $102 million globally).
The second book in the series, 'The Girl Who Played with Fire,' has already made $4 million in limited release since debuting last month.
Lucky Parkites get both:

7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 23
The Girl Who Played With Fire
Friday through Sunday, Sept. 24-26 (8 p.m. Friday/Saturday; 6 p.m. Sunday)
