Capitol Hill Still Finds Time for Baseball
The country is on the verge of default and partisan gridlock has gripped Congress. But the talk on Capitol Hill Thursday afternoon was baseball.
Reps. Richard Hanna (R., N.Y.), Mike Doyle (D., Pa.) and Joe Barton (R., Texas) gathered outside the Capitol Thursday afternoon to introduce a bill honoring the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., in Mr. Hanna's district. Thursday night, Messrs. Doyle and Barton will respectively coach the Democratic and Republican teams in the annual congressional baseball game at nearby Nationals Park.
"I'm going from one of the most fun things I get to do — something like this – to going to a committee hearing to issue some subpoenas, which will be a little bit contentious," Mr. Barton said at the press conference.
The bill would direct the Treasury Department to produce collectors' coins commemorating the Baseball Hall of Fame — 50,000 $5 gold coins, 400,000 silver dollars, and about 750,000 50-cent pieces.
Afterward, Mr. Doyle quipped, "yeah, maybe we should use the coin to pay down the national debt."
The bill is revenue neutral.
Mr. Doyle said the Thursday night ball game, which benefits D.C. charities, is an annual event and was scheduled almost a year ago.
"Congress has to continue to do the things we do," he said in an interview. "It's not like we said a couple of weeks ago, let's play a baseball game."
Staffers and members on the Capitol's campus could be heard chattering about which party will have the upper hand in tonight's game – Democrats won the past two years but lost some key players in the rout that was the 2010 elections.
Before the press conference, Mr. Doyle could be heard complaining that he lost two designated hitters and six starters.
"That's how elections affect you," he said.

First Look at Elizabeth's Neighborhood Table, Bringing Farmhouse-Chic to the Upper West Side
In case you needed further proof that the UWS is basically the 'burbs.
If you need further proof that the Upper West Side these days is basically the 'burbs, we present the brand-new Elizabeth's Neighborhood Table, an "urban farmhouse" complete with wraparound veranda (there's a picket fence and a swing, too). Remarkably, the place didn't blow in during last weekend's strong winds, but rather it comes from the restaurant family behind Carmine's and Ollie's. Chef John Lee is a veteran of Rouge Tomate, and his menu of comfort food uses organic and seasonal ingredients, of course; even the cocktails could be described as "vegetable-forward." The place appears to be chain-ready, so expect it to land soon in a bedroom community near you; for now, get a look at the menus below, and see the space and some dishes in our slideshow.

We love making homemade play dough and I love to turn it into a teaching opportunity for the girls by having them help me make the dough. Since it is fall, we decided to make orange play dough to create fall leaves and pumpkins during our play! I love having the girls help me make the dough and choose the color. Charlotte is fasinated with watching the dough mixture change from plain white to vibrant orange! Homemade play dough is such a great rainy day fall activity to do with the little ones. The recipe below is perfectly safe if the little ones decide to taste it and if you are daring try and experiment by adding some essential oils to the mixture for a great scent. We added orange essential oil to our pumpkin play dough.
1 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
1 cup water
1 Tablespoon oil
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
Food coloring
You can added 50ml of orange essence. OR you can instead add 1 tbsp of both cinnamon and nutmeg for a great fall scent.
Combine all ingredients and cook over medium warm heat on the stove until the mixture combines into a ball. Let cool before using to play.

I have received a particularly good fraudulent email from a provider purporting to be NAB. Can you please send me an email address for your fraud team so that I can forward it to you for your information?
Dani Sargeant
Can I get added security on my account,
Why i cant cash out from my visa card and all my account u push $0000 let me know why
I think I've been the victim of an internet transaction fraud.
Recently I transferred money from my account to a st george account for the purchase of a phone from a private seller, but I haven't heard back form the seller regarding the product and fear that my money may be lost as a result. The situation is quite distressing. Is there anything I can do to get my money back?
I believe I may have fallen victim of a scam on gumtree.
I am usually very diligent about it, but it seems I have slipped up this time
There were no passwords or usernames exchanged, the person was only given my BSB and Acc no
I thought it best to let NAB know as soon as possible.
Thank you,
Jacob Hedger
I have just found an unrecognized transaction on my saving's account today…
It has been labelled as "Miscellaneous Debit" on my saving's (not everyday/debit credit card linked account). It does not have a subject/description as yet (I presume it should show up with something tomorrow).
What should I do?
I sent my details to email@example.com as required to unlock my internet banking as I have been relocated oversea and will not go back to Australia anytime soon. The phone number i register SMS security no longer in use and so I couldn't receive any text from NAB with that phone number. I need to access to my remaining fund to transfer them out. However, It's been a week since i sent my email with details attached but haven't heard anything from NAB. Could you please get back to me? Thank you.
Hello. I think I'm a fraud victim as there is atleast 1 unorthorised payment come out of my debit card account what should I do
Hi NAB team,
Last week I purchased a product online and the amount I had to pay was just 2.99 AUD.
But I have been incorrectly charged the below amounts
Total 17.81 AUD
I should be charged only 2.99 AUD. I have been fraudulently charged the remaining amount (17.81-2.99) = 14.82 AUD.
Please help.
I have forgotten my credt card pin code, how can I find out what it is?
I have been a victim of fraud and lost over $1,000 but because its been going on for more than 3 months without me knowing i can only claim 3 months. I am a very unhappy customer. I always deal with NAB and so does my partner. I also have home loans with NAB.

Long as I am in the picture mood here are pictures of my last restoration - a nice 1939 UL.
Mostly original but repop = primary, headlite. taillite, tool box, seat, air scoop, fender trim, exhaust, rear chain guard and probably a few more things.
Front fender is later 40's and was NOS.
And yes it has the original 1,2,N,3,4 tranny and that is going to be another post.

Playground Update Week 1
Printer-friendly version
It's only been a week since the Brisbane Lions Club took to the old and dilapidated Community Park play structure, where they carefully unbolted, unscrewed, and unattached various fixtures and wooden beams. This was all done in just under two hours last Friday. It was clear that they are all professionals, and are very good at what they do. Thank you, Brisbane Lions, and to each of the volunteers who came to help!!
On Saturday, it was local contractor Mike Glynn's turn to play in the sandbox. With his equipment, and assistant Kessell, he was able to clear out the sand (which went down more than 2 feet!), and the portion of rubber surfacing located near the bathroom facility. The sand was offhauled using a city dump truck, where it was dropped into a bin at the Public Works Corporation Yard and later will be re-purposed into sand bags. During the day, Lions Past-Presidents Filipio and Abney came by to lend their assistance, along with Mayor Lentz.
Mike Glynn was also one of two contractors who submitted bids for Playground Site Prep. This involves getting the two areas ready for the actual installation of the playground equipment (i.e. filling the areas with the appropriate amounts of baserock, and constructing the 72' seat wall which the gold donor stars will be affixed to). Below are a couple pictures of them getting started!
This Site Prep part of the Playground Replacement Project is scheduled to be completed by August 15th. The playground manufacturer, Miracle Playsystems, will install the playground with any assistance from volunteers sometime in September. If you're interested, please contact Caroline Cheung at (415) 508-2157 or firstname.lastname@example.com to be a "Build Day" volunteer!

Brisbane Farmers' Market
Printer-friendly version
Yesterday was a fantastic day at the Brisbane Farmers' Market, weather-wise. It was also special in that there were a couple new vendors on-site, having heard of the Brisbane Market and the warmth and sense of pride this Community has. One of those new vendors was Organo Gold Coffee, a purveyor of fine coffees and teas - which make for the perfect after-dinner beverage. Be sure to sample their beverages if you haven't already!
Brisbane resident Pete Davis and his son Kaii are ready to supply you with raw Brisbane honey - and it's all from Brisbane! Their mini honey bear containers are only $3 and would make a great little gift for a friend or neighbor.
Have you entered your name yet to win a weekly basket, chock full of items from each of the vendors? If not, be sure to drop your name into the jar next time, as this is a weekly free giveaway. You do not need to be present to win.
Lastly, look for "Moola Money" on the next edition of the City STAR, dropping in mailboxes the first week of August. On the front cover will be a Moola Dollar, which can be clipped and used as cash at any one of the vendors at an upcoming market. Keep on the look-out for your Moola Money and be sure to bring it with you the next time you shop the market!
Be a Good Neighbor
Printer-friendly version
Dog waste contaminates the ground and is the greatest source of potential health risk for your pet, family, and community. Be conscientious about cleaning up after your dog when out on walks. Picking up after your pet shows pride in your community, in yourself, and in your dog. And, it's the law. Section 6.14.020 of the Brisbane Municipal Code says,
"It is unlawful for the owner or person having custody of any dog to fail to immediately remove and dispose of in a sanitary manner, by placing in a closed or sealed container and depositing in a trash receptacle, any feces deposited by such dog upon private or public property not owned or controlled by the owner or person having custody of such dog. The provisions of this subsection shall not apply to any blind person accompanied by a guide dog."
Because it is the law, the City has provided mutt mitts around town for disposing of your pet's waste. Therefore, if you happen to see anyone in violation of this law and not picking up after their dog, please report it right away by calling Police Dispatch at 467-1212. Let's work together to make this Community a safer, happier, and cleaner place for us all.

Brisbane Farmers' Market
Printer-friendly version
It's been just shy of 3 months since the first Brisbane's Farmers' Market opened in the Community Park, on April 12, 2012 - click on the blue link in each post and see all the previous posts written about the farmers' market. With those 3 months came more wind and harsh weather than the vendors (and shoppers) woud have liked, but most of the original farmers are still coming out to Brisbane week after week. And that is due to the consistent farmers' market shoppers, whose favorite items the vendors know by heart by now. Some of them are even willing to put those favorite items aside, if requested, because they know that Brisbane's faithful shoppers won't let a week go by without them.
If you haven't already heard, there will be a new honey vendor, whose jars of honey come right from Brisbane! Pete Davis was at the market the week before, and SOLD OUT of the honey he brought with him that day. We hope he's busy jarring some more, as that is definitely a popular item that many want to get their hands on.
Sapore Messo has a great selection of gluten-free pastas. You may even win a bag of it if you put your name into the container for the weekly basket drawing.
And lastly, if you know of anyone who would like to play music during the farmers' market, Jerry Lami is looking for talented local musicians - who, by the way, will be paid, and that's not just in tips. Call him at (650) 290-3549 if you or someone you know may be interested.

A mix of sun and clouds is expected today with highs around 80 degrees. Today, looks to be the best day of the weekend!
Tonight after 11pm, scattered showers and thunderstorms move into the state from the West. Some storms will contain very heavy rain as overnight lows drop to the mid 60s.
Sunday, the storm threat sticks, especially in the morning. Some storms may be strong to severe with heavy rain that could lead to flooding, large hail, damaging wind and frequent lightning. I think the best time for rain will be before noon, then activity will become more scattered after that.
Severe storms will also be possible Monday as highs hit the upper 80s.
The 7 day forecast doesn't look too bad if you like heat and humidity!

Bond v0.6 - On Her Magesty's Secret Service
Bond v0.6
On Her Majesty's Secret Service
An Aussie Bond?? A Bond named George?? You better believe it! This first departure away from the legendary icon that is Sean Connery, was received with mixed results. Firstly, how can you replace Bond? How can you have a non-Brit play the role?? Can he pull it off?? Well, for me, I'm happy to suspend my disbelief with the actor change - it just doesn't bother me at all. A non-Brit? Well Connery was Scottish, Lazenby Aussie, and not until Moore comes along do we see a real Englishman take the helm. As for pulling off the difficult role of Bond - I think it's safe to say he deserved his time in the limelight.
So why change actors? Apparently Connery wanted out, didn't want to be locked into being typecast, and more than likely was asking more and more… So Lazenby was introduced, and apart from one or two poorly scripted lines, I'm happy to say he's done a brilliant job. Why the writers/director felt the need to but such an obvious wink wink to the audience with "this never happened to the other guy" right at the start is well beyond me. It just wrecks the transition… but then again, I'm not sure of the mindset of the day, so we just take it in our stride.
Pacing wise, this film is probably one of the slower ones, almost comparing to From Russia with its slow build approach. The good news is that it doesn't let you down in the end! The story sees Bond's nemesis, Blofeld making a claim on some dodgy parentage, hoping to claim an official, but obscure title. In doing so, he opens up for the potential for Bond to slip in and be welcomed into Blofelds inner sanctum, posing as a genealogist. However, the sub-plot of the film is a doozy! Right from the outset of the film, the "femme", the Contessa Teresa di Vincenzo, or Tracy as she becomes known, becomes an object of Bonds desire - if only because she resists his charms every step of the way. Turns out she's the daughter of a mobster who actually wants Bond to look after her, and even date her. He gives him his blessing to do what he feels is right with Tracy, becuase for the first time there's a man up to the challenge. The cold and forced relationship quickly blossoms when she discovers that he's not in it for the money or the influence, but because he's truly in love with her. This is really the first time we've seen Bond showing anything like a "softer" side. A-typically, this relationship is never used as a tool against him like it would be in just about any other film. For me, it just works.
So the story is actually quite good! It plays out really well with the intermingling of Blofelds plot, and the relationship with Tracy, always building up to the back end of the film. We see some pretty tense scenes, some great action scenes, and a highlight for me, is the first of the Bond snow scenes!! Yup, this is the first time he takes to the snow, and gets involved in some pretty good gun fights on skis! With me being a snow junkie, it's pretty easy to like this film, but I think it's more than just that - it really is a solid film.
Once agian, we have John Barry as the music guru, and it shows. Some absolutely beautiful music here, especially the iconic song "We have all the time in the world" sung by Louis Armstrong - just a beautiful track this one. The title song is an instrumental piece, and has an epic scope to it that really set the benchmark for future instrumental soundtracks. Worth hunting down. Of note: Contemporary group the Propellorheads did a remix of this track a few years back, and it's been a great re-imagining of it - hunt it down!
So here's the clincher - stop reading if you haven't seen it - you've been warned.
This has quite possibly the one and only real emotionally heart wrenching moment of the entire series. Bond marries Tracy in a perfect ceremony, and to this viewer, it's completely plausible and enjoyable. But it's Bond. He's the one man who cannot, and could not have a real relationship - and it's the tragic end of this that brings me to tears every time I see the film, and also every time I hear that painfully titled song. They most definately do not have all the time in the world…
Some will say this departure from the style and character of the series is it's downturn - for me, it's the highlight. With the out of control action scenes of the last two films, this slows things back down to a much more realistic approach. Maybe not as grand, but certainly much more appropriate. Two thumbs up from me.
James Bond will return in…
Diamonds are Forever.

On the heels of The Cannes Film Festival, everyone is still talking about the red carpets, the gossip and all those fabulous parties! Just because you didn't make it to Cannes or any of it's celebrity soirees, doesn't mean you can't throw a fabulous one yourself. French Riviera style is about oceanside glamour and having lots of fun. Really, that's it. The French are known for their ability to evoke elegant glamour into everything they do, and throwing a Cannes style party is no different.
Keep it simple. Serve easy to eat and serve food like charcuterie, seafood hors d'oeuvres, cut up cheeses, fruits and veggies. Set them up in shot glasses or mini cups, too. Riviera Style parties are about friends and having fun, no slaving in a kitchen here.
Cannes and surrounding cities are effortlessly chic and nautical but always with a touch of glamour. Just take a basic nautical style and then add a little extra like fancy glasses, linen napkins, pretty dishes. No paper or plastic today, preferably ever.
Any French style party needs a fabulous cocktail. Keep it simple with beer, wine and one signature vodka cocktail in pretty glassware. Use your imagination and personal taste here, but try and keep with the French theme. A margarita or sangria might feel a little odd in this setting.
All parties in the French Riviera are known for fun, high energy music. There are tons of fabulous playlists on Spotify, Pandora easily programmable on any smartphone. Set it up and forget about it so you can enjoy your soirée!
5.A CUTE FAVORThe French are known for their little touches of chic. Before your guests say "au revoir", give them each a printout of the Cannes winners rolled up and tied with a red ribbon, like a piece of the red carpet. You download and print them from your home computer, so it's practically free and very cute. Plus, you'll encourage them to see some of the latest acclaimed films to hit the theaters worldwide. A parting gift that's thoughtful and fabulous.
Theme parties are fun and easy to do if you just use your imagination and a little of your DIY skills. The summer months are the perfect setting for these kind of gatherings, so take advantage and bring some of your friends and some chic style into your life right now!

Samsung LE46A786 LCD TV for £1,300
Samsung's aggressive pricing is matched by the resilience of its R&D departments to enforce premium quality, and the upshot is some of the best flatpanel TVs on the market for some of the best prices.
The Samsung LE46A786, from the company's Series 7 range of LCDs, is one such telly.
At just over £1,300 for a 46in TV, it already represents an attractive proposition, but considering that you get an Ultra Clear Panel 100Hz screen with LED backlighting for your wodge, it's a steal.
And it looks great too, especially as it's the first Sammy TV with a 'Crystal Design' surround that isn't spattered with red. This one has a blue tint haloing the fascia, and we prefer this colour

Product Description
7" LED Headlight Kit for all 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1970, 1971, 1972 and 1973 Mustangs.This kit has two lamps and two housings with reflectors for a nice classic appearance. The new lamps featured in this kit fit the H4 socket perfectly and have connecting tabs that fit all standard headlamps on vehicles with 7 inch sealed or semi-sealed lamps. These lamps extend approximately 1-1/2 inches past the back of the reflector and have a great fit and look on all 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1970, 1972 and 1973 Mustangs.
Complete with two metal and glass 7 inch housings, two H4 24 Watt LED lamps with a new design that provides over 2400 Lumens per lamp and the necessary adaptors are included. The patented LED heat-sink design provides efficient LED cooling so that these awesome, high brightness LEDs can really discharge brilliant, clear light. With over 100 LEDs on each lamp, you get a great looking pure white light, not stale and yellow like the old incandescent bulbs.
- Two 100 LED H4 24 Watt Lamps
- Two Metal and Glass 7" Housings
- Adaptors
- Heat-Sink Design
- 2400 Lumens
- Lower Current Consumption
- Pure Intense White Light
These 7 inch housings fit all vehicles with 7 inch head lamp or fog lamp mounting designs. The versatile round beam pattern is perfect for auxiliary lights or fog lights and even headlights for show and classic cars! This custom heat-sink design provides far superior light output than other lamps and results in a much longer lamp life in all 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1970, 1972 and 1973 Mustangs. The use of LEDs provides less horsepower drag and doesn't heat up your wiring like high the current halogen lamps do. Yet another added bonus is less stress to your alternator, as these lamps consume approximately 1/10 the current of older incandescent lamps.
Most classic cars have more than adequate space for the heat-sink and this kit has been tested with 1965-1968 and 1970-1973 Mustangs. This new design gives you far brighter light than the original incandescent lamps on older vehicles did. Now you have modern, vivid lights that fit and look perfect on your favorite pony car!
Please Note:This LED headlight kit will NOT work in 1969 Mustangs.
*Designed to DOT standards, but not DOT listed.

There is no mounting kit available to mount these lights into a 65 grille, it would have to be custom made.

Yes, they'll work without issue.

Although they won't put on the pads and engage in traditional 11-on-11 scrimmages and drills until early next month, the Vashon Wolverines already can claim a couple of victories on and off the field before the high school football season commences. In a field of eight teams mostly from the inner-city of St. Louis, Vashon captured the first Lincoln University 7-on-7 tournament last weekend at the school's campus in Jefferson City, Missouri. Perhaps more importantly, three of Vashon's players were offered scholarships by the Lincoln staff, although NCAA rules restrict players from officially signing letters of intent until early February and college coaches from discussing recruits.
In any event, the Wolverines were the last team standing after turning back a late rally by the Gateway Stem (formerly Gateway Tech) Jaguars 18-16 to win the tourney. Vashon's Clifton Dickens, who was a second team all-conference quarterback, was chosen the tourney's Most Valuable Player for his play at quarterback and at defensive back, where he snared the game-saving interception, after the Jaguars had scored on a 40-yard bomb from quarterback Antonio Cunningham to Anton Garrett. Each team had three games of pool play, then teams were seeded according to their records and points scored, for a single elimination game after that, which enabled Vashon to avenge an opening round loss.
"We came out flat and lost to Gateway in the first game," noted Vashon assistant coach Brennan Spain. "We had a lot of players step up after that. Brandon Jones (the club's top returning receiver) did not play at all. We rested him (due to a muscle pull). We rolled without him."
Of course 7-on-7 is strictly a game of skill, finesse and agility, among other things, since there is no tackling , no pads and no offensive linemen participating, other than the center snapping the ball. Some football traditionalists may see it as glorified touch football since there is no overt contact or tackling, but the game has evolved into off-season showcase events in some states like Texas and California. Under Armour presents a summer annual National Select 7-on-7 championship in Hoover, Alabama with national hotel and restaurant chains as sponsors.Six points are awarded for a touchdown, two points for a conversion from 10 yards out and a point each for a five-yard conversion attempt following a touchdown or a defensive stop on third down.
Speaking of defense, that is a unit that both tournament finalists, Vashon and Gateway, have to improve dramatically from last season. As both clubs endured injuries to their units and had very challenging non-conference opponents, they were overwhelmed on the scoreboard: Vashon, which staggered to a 4-6 mark, surrendered 339 points while scoring 161. Meanwhile, Gateway struggled through a 3-8 mark while being outscored 305-188.
In capturing the 7-on-7 event, Markevion Darough, Nicholas Gordon, Ian Hines, Dahlen Jones, John Mitchell and twins Charvez and Charvon Lewis and Kevin Oliver were among the Wolverines key players Spain said. Lewis scored on a 20-yard catch down the middle of the field, Dahlen Jones on a post corner route and Mitchell on a dig route. Spain also said Dickens (6-2,170), Mitchell (6-1,175 receiver-defensive back) and Charvez Lewis were among those offered scholarships. The Blue Tigers head coach is former St. Louis Rams linebacker and Super Bowl hero, Mike "The Tackle" Jones.
Offensively, both clubs return talented quarterbacks. Clifton Dickens, of Vashon looked outstanding at times in passing for 1,279 yards but also struggled at various points in completing 71 of 151 passes for just 47 percent. Ferguson said sometimes his signal-caller put too much pressure on himself by trying to make the great plays. Dickens will have experienced receivers to aid his development, though: Brandon Jones is among the league's best, after catching 22 passes for 421 yards and seven touchdowns. Mitchell had just 10 receptions but for a whopping 290 yards, including a 59-yard scoring strike in a blowout loss to Career Academy, the two-time, defending Public High League champions.
But Vashon's skill-position players will go into the season like all the league teams, in taking a back seat to Career Academy's returning receivers and defensive backs: Javon Collard caught 16 passes for 543 yards and nine touchdowns, while Mark Frazier caught 19 for 398 yards and six touchdowns for the Phoenix. In the secondary, the Phoenix boasts safety Travis Riley, who had seven interceptions and seven defensive touchdowns overall from interceptions or kick returns, including an 85-yard kickoff return against the Wolverines in a 47-12 rout last season.
The Jaguars had three good receivers last weekend, though, in sophomore tight end Kenyon Perkins, senior Anton Garrett who caught a 40-yard touchdown from Cunningham and junior Donnell Williams, the latter of whom Gateway coach Jason Dulick said was also offered a scholarship a year early by the Blue Tigers staff. Dulick noted that Williams who is about 6-3,185 and also a basketball player, played on the junior varsity football squad last year before a knee injury cut short his season.
"SEMO (Southeast Missouri State University) and Lincoln University were impressed with him (Williams)," reports Dulick. "He is a very raw receiver but we are continuing to develop him."
For that matter, Dulick said his entire receiving corps is a work in progress not on a par yet with the league's top group.
"We've been working all summer and we are continuing to develop a couple of young receivers," he notes. "We definitely do not have the proven receivers that Vashon and Career Academy does."
But of course even 7-on-7 may not be able to simulate game speed or adrenaline once the pads come on. For PHL teams, the road to a conference championship will have to go through the Career Academy Phoenix's defense, which posted five shutouts last year and had the PHL's most prolific game-changer in Riley, who is back for his senior encore.Riley had 70 total tackles to go with his litany of momentum-killing plays he stuck on opposing teams.
"The kind of motivation I have is to make sure that I make everything tough for a wide receiver," says Riley."I make sure I work hard every play. Defensive backs have to win the battle between receivers and I try to make sure I win every one. Our defensive coach (Chris Cooper) makes sure he has the defensive backs ready to to be physical and in top condition. We like to do 1-one-1s in practice so we can get that practice in guarding receivers. We also do a lot of footwork drills that get us ready for ball games.
Excluding Riley and the Phoenix, the other participating teams in the event included last year's surprise PHL team, the Carnahan Cougars, who posted a 9-3 mark and won their first ever district championship. Although they graduated their great all-purpose quarterback in Dontrelle Busby (1,383 yards passing and 23 touchdown strikes to go with 910 yards rushing and 14 touchdowns of his own), they also return a big-play receiver in Eric Williams, who caught 22 passes for 563 yards and 13 touchdowns.
Confluence, Lift for Life, Normandy, Roosevelt and Sumner rounded out the eight-team bracket. As noted, the Phoenix did not participate in the event, as their coach Sorrell Harvey has favored other offseason activities to the 7-on-7 tournaments.But as Riley acknowledged that the team is definitely primed for another banner campaign after an 11-1 mark last year and a 25-22 state quarterfinal loss in which host Cape Girardeau Central had to rally late.
The Wolverines won an even larger, more prestigious tournament in the summer of 2012, when they won a 20-team St. Louis Metro-area event at DeSmet High, which featured a number of larger programs, including the host Spartans whom Vashon 28-14 in the championship game. As a consequence, the Wolverines eventually went into the season as the second-rank, small-school in the entire area, only to struggle to a losing mark after being decimated by injuries on defense and playing inconsistently on offense. In 7-on-7 the interior lines have no role, so blocking and tackling can't be evaluated in that setting. Likewise although quarterbacks have to get a play off within five seconds, it's difficult to judge just how a signal-caller will react to a conventional pass rush or blitz at least until team scrimmages or get jamborees underway. That's why Ferguson tried to put into perspective the preseason hype his team garnered in 2012 because he knew the real games were the true measuring stick of success.
"The high ranking and the publicity is great, but like I told the kids you still have to win the games," Vashon coach Reginald Ferguson would say later in that ill-fated 2012 season.
So to their credit, the Vashon coaches realize the offseason activities have to be viewed as a mere springboard for getting fine-tuned. In that regard, the 7-on-7 activity is providing opportunities for players to hone their game within the confines of the rules.
"It's been a good summer for us," says Spain. "We've also had a chance to see a lot of young guys step and develop."

Now that January is behind us, it's time to take out that scrap of paper we all wrote our New Year's Resolutions on and see if we followed through with any.
I'll admit that some of mine didn't make it past January 5th, and it's OK if you're in the same boat.
It will be our little secret!
However, I have three things that I recommend every eCommerce store owner take a bit more seriously this year:
Email Marketing – Many store owners don't take advantage of this low-cost method to keep in touch with current and potential customers. Email marketing works if you provide your subscribers with compelling offers that make them want to shop at your store. Come up with promotions that are exclusive to your list members such as a free shipping offer, percentage off coupon, a free gift with purchase and other creative things that will get them to click through and make a purchase.
People who subscribe to email newsletters expect to receive deals, so give them what they want, but don't overload them so they click the unsubscribe button. I recommend mailing your customers at least two times a month, but no industry and customer base is alike. You should experiment with number of sends, day of send and time of send to come up with an optimal schedule that works best for your audience.
Social Media Marketing – By now I hope that you have a Facebook page for your eCommerce store. If you don't, get cracking! Your customers and "fans" are waiting to connect with you on their favorite social media sites, so take advantage of that and build up a loyal base of followers.
A good social media strategy should be part of every eCommerce store owner's marketing plan. Take the time to interact with your fans by posting useful, fun content that is likely to be shared, but don't oversell! I always recommend that for every 3 "fun" things you share in social media, you should post 1 sales/product related post.
Besides Facebook, it's time for you to take a second look at other social media sites such as Google+, Pinterest, Twitter and for those who do a lot of B2B business, LinkedIn.
I often find that many eCommerce store owners don't harness the power of social media because they either don't have the time or are looking for more of an instant return on investment. While people aren't heading to social media to shop, by having an active presence and keeping your brand name out there, when it is time for them to make a purchase, you're one of the stores they're going to visit.
Blogging – I'm a big fan of blogs, if I wasn't I wouldn't have one of my own or wouldn't write articles for this one! Blogs serve multiple purposes, first it provides you the opportunity to show your readers that you're an expert in the subject matter at hand. Nobody knows the products you sell better than you, so write interesting articles about novel ways to use them, how they can help in everyday situations or how your products can improve someone's life.
If you provide entertaining, useful content, you'll pick up readers who come back time and time again to read more. Plus, by establishing yourself as the subject expert, you'll build confidence with your readers when it comes time to make a purchase!
Second, blogs provide value for your search engine optimization (SEO) efforts. By providing content that gets reader's attention and ends up getting shared on social media sites, you're helping improve the odds that you'll gain some organic (free) ranking in the search engines.
Of course, these three things all take time and effort on your part to be effective. Like I said earlier, I highly recommend each store owner take these three forms of marketing a bit more serious this year as I believe they will become more and more important in your overall marketing plan.
If you just don't have the time to work these efforts into your schedule, have no fear! The Internet marketing experts at Solid Cactus can help by providing you with managed email, social media, and blogging services that can fit your budget and help your marketing goals.
We're here to answer any questions you may have or give you information on how we can help grow your business! After all, like our tag-line says, we want to be your partner in eCommerce success.

TC TO JAMES CARLYLE THE ELDER; 13 December 1831; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18311213-TC-JCE-01; CL 6:63-65.
4. Ampton Street, Mecklenburg Square / London, 13th December 1831—
My Dear Father,
I have long proposed to myself the pleasure of writing you a Letter; and must now do it much more hurriedly than I could have wished. I did not mean to undertake it all till next week; for at present I am engaged every moment against Time, finishing an Article for the Edinburgh Review, and can expect no respite till after Saturday night: however, our Lord Advocate having called today, and furnished me with a frank to carry Jack's Roman Epistle, I embrace the opportunity, lest none so good occur afterwards. Half of my day's task is done; the good wife is even now making the tea: so I will scribble you a few lines, and try to make up my leeway before bedtime.
Alick informed me in general about ten days ago that you were "all well"; in the last Newspaper stood a word from Jane that she "would write soon": I can only pray that she would do so; and hope in the mean time that she may have no worse news to tell me. This weather is very unhealthy, the worst of the whole year; I often think how my Mother and you are getting on under it. I hope, at least, you take every care, and do not needlessly or needfully expose yourself: it is bad policy to brave the weather, especially for you, at this season. I pray you, keep much within doors; beware of Cold especially of damp feet: a cup of tea, night and morning, I should also think a good preventive. But perhaps Jane will still be able to inform me that "all is well"; one of the blessings I ought to be most thankful for, as it is among the most precious for me.
We are struggling forward here, as well as we can. My health is not worse than it was wont to be; I think I am even clearer and fresher than when you saw me last. Jane has been complaining somewhat; but is not regularly sick: her cold has left her, and now she has a little occasional cough, with weakliness; the like of which is very prevalent here at present. George Irving has been attempting to prescribe for her; she even let him draw a little blood: I rather think, however, that her faith in Physicians is somewhat on a level with my own; that she will give them no more of her blood; but trust to exercise, diet, and the return of settled weather.
I cannot get on with the publishing of my Book; nobody will so much as look at a thing of the sort, till this Reform Business be done. Nay, I begin to doubt whether I shall at all during this present posture of affairs, get my Speculation put into print. There is only a limited time that I will consent to wait looking after it; if they do not want it, why then let them leave it alone. Either way will do for me; I only want to know which. Meanwhile I am making what little attempts about it seem prudent: if I altogether fail here, I may still have Edinburgh to try in. One way or other, I wish to be at the end of it, and will be so.— Our Advocate, who is now quite recovered again, and as brisk as a bee would fain do something useful for me, find me some Place or other that would keep me here: I know he has spoken of me to Chancellors and Secretarys of State, and would take all manner of pains: nevertheless I compute simply that the result of it all will be Nothing; and I still look back to my whinstone fortress among the mountains as the stronghold wherefrom I am to defy the world. I have applications enough for writing, some of them new since I came hither: so long as I can wag the pen, there is no fear of me. I also incline to think that something might and perhaps should be done by such as me in the way of Lecturing: but not at this time, not under these circumstances. We will wait; and if so seem good, try it again. On the whole I always return to this: As the great Guide orders, so be it! While I can say His will be mine, there is no power in Earth or out of it that can put me to fear.
I could describe our way of Life here, which is very simple, had I room. Plenty of people come about us; we go little out to anything like parties, never to dinners; or anywhere willingly except for profit. I transact sometimes immense quantities of talk; indeed often talk more than I listen,—which Course I think of altering. It is and continues a wild wondrous chaotic den of Discords this London: I am often wae [deeply sad] and awestruck at once to wander along its crowded streets, and see and hear the roaring torrent of men and animals and carriages and waggons,—all rushing they know not whence, they know not whither! Nevertheless there is a deep, divine meaning in it; and God is in the midst of it, had we but eyes to see.— Towards two o'clock I am about laying down my pen; to walk till as near dinner (at four) as I like: then comes usually resting stretched on the sofa, with such small talk as may be going till tea; after which, unless some interloper drop in (as happens fully oftener than not) I again open my desk, and work till bedtime about eleven. I have had a tough struggle indeed with this Paper; but my hand is now in again, and I am doing better.— Charles Buller comes now and then about us; a fine honest fellow, among the best we see. There is also one Glen (a young unhewed philosopher, a friend of Jack's), and one Mill, a young hewed philosopher and partial disciple of mine: both great favourites here. W. Grahame of Burnswark was in our neighbourhood for three weeks; and will be arriving in Glasgow again about this very night, unless he have struck in by Ecclefechan and home. He is busy with some American patents and so forth; from which he is sure of a salary for one year, but I think scarcely of anything more. The American Consulship, of which he hoped much, has gone another road. He is fresh and healthy, and I hope will fall in with something.— Irving does not come much here; only once since that gift-of-tongue work began, and we have not been even once with him. It was last week that he called. He looked hollow and haggard; thin, greywhiskered, almost an old man: yet he was composed and affectionate and patient: I could almost have wept over him, and did tell him my mind with all plainness. It seems likely they will take his Church from him, and then difficulties of all sorts may multiply on him: but I do not think he will altogether lose his wits, at least not so as to land in Bedlam; and perhaps he may yet see his way thro' all this, and leave it all behind him. God grant it be so!— I have hardly another scrap of room here: I must scrawl my Mother a line; and then bid you all goodnight. I remain always (My dear Fathe[r) Your] Affectionate Son—
T. Carlyle—

Now, as a Brit, it's pretty hard to understand - what defines this? And what makes one 'Un-American'? Or is it just a political insult used by those who wish to disparage another's patriotism and beliefs?
This concept of 'Un-American'ness is very strange to many outside of the US, and I'm seeking some input from anyone, Americans or not (maybe fellow foreigners also have similar questions).
I'd like to ask that people keep thoughts and opinions regarding the ongoing elections out of this discussion - i'm not interested in hearing accusations against the respective candidates here.
*Move this to the political discussion if it is felt that it will be better answered there - I didn't think it was necessarily a political topic.
THANK YOU--I was getting *SO* sick of political-elect talk.
My own opinions.
1) using America's own freedom of speech to bash it--especially college professors who speak out against our 1st amendment.
Mandating government controls over it.
For example, I think moderators like Jae Onasi do a fine job of the decency sort of neatening up after clumbsy posts... like mine (though you remind me of general mother figures, Jae!). Censorship, well, is banning expression because it "offends" a certain group. I don't care how much you despise it, if it's anything short of defamatory, slandering sentiment, you leave it alone.
2) calling any talk you disagree with "hate speech" or implying racism (or taint thereof) to certain actions or inactions. What a cop out. That's like calling "hold" whenever pressed in a fencing match or "time" when losing a match or failing a test in kendo.
3) As someone who is on a level of owner/manager of family business (mom and pop), I see things differently than workers. I RESENT being called fascist.
4) LACK of work ethic. Does nobody get up to change the channel anymore?
Is it so unheard of to go out and clean your yard? Clear snow?
Hate to admit it, but, that is the reason so many illegals are allowed here. I wanted something, I WORKED for it, unlike so many of my friends: spoiled. So many lazy but able bodied adults sitting around. Though I would agree there is business greed largely involved which leads me to my next one. Immigrants (LEGAL citizens) I have less problems with, but still, we could do better.
5) Poisoning the honor of free market/capitalism. "The hyper-greed standards". (paraphrased Granny Smith)
Someone in my own town was thrown in jail for evading taxes by hiring illegals. The whole benefits thing is debatable with me, BUT the unethical business practices are not. Undercutting and running at a loss to kill competition. SHAME! Also, what one says is not what one means or does. Shifting blame to another when the fault and responsibility is ONE's OWN. Taking advantage of uneven play fields to monopolize a market. Short sidedness to make MONEY MONEY MONEY! The free market is not free from honor! The self-sustaining individual able to support him/her own self and family.
6) Attacking and destroying the traditional family. I don't care what anyone says--I have yet to see any credible evidence that the functional family is NOT a building block of our society. I'd like to go more into it, but those issues are a bit touchy and perhaps inappropriate here.
7) OK, saying we "deserved" 9/11, or legitimizing violent behaviors by "racial karmah". Cop outs. The crusades happened long before USA was born. Not everybody descended from slaveholders either--many immigrated (not illegaly migrated) here. (Though I'm sure some slipped through the cracks!)
8) Political correctness stereotyping. Stalin himslef invented the term. It oversimplifies things, paints everyone in a group one stripe all while refusing to recognizing there can be differences WITHIN a group. Assuming just because a so-called "Republican" or "Democrat" is in office that Conservatives and Liberals (respectively) have this unyielding collective agreement with the leader.
If you wish to debate me at length, PM me.
That's right, Bixby Snyder folks.

Wage disparity continues to increase and a labor group in California wants to narrow the gap, according to a Los Angeles Times article published on January 15, 2014.
The Los Angeles County Federation of Labor is pushing for an increase in the minimum wage- an increase that, if enacted, would be the highest in the nation. The organization is proposing $15 per hour and claims that such an increase would not only pull more than 800,000 workers out of poverty, it would also serve to stimulate an otherwise lethargic economy.
Backing up the proposal is an official study from the Economic Roundtable, a progressive outfit known for its liberal- leaning philosophy. According to the study, 46% of Los Angeles wage and salaried employees presently earn less than $15 per hour. An increase to $15 per hour would, based on the study, pump billions of dollars into the local economy, something the study claims is more likely to happen when lower wage earners receive greater pay. This would lead not only to greater prosperity for those near the bottom of the wage- earning ladder, it would also lead to more jobs and a stronger economy overall.
As part of its campaign for higher pay, the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor launched an advertising campaign featuring billboards that illustrate the low wage problem. The billboards, styled after the familiar green- colored "city limits" signs, state: "Los Angeles, City Limited, Poverty Wage population 810,864. There are presently 7 of these billboards on display and they are attracting the attention of city leaders and others.
Opponents of the wage increase say it will lead to higher prices and layoffs, but the Economic Roundtable proposes a different approach. They would like to see wages re- distributed, with some pay taken away from higher- wage earners and given to those who earn less. This, they argue, would keep prices at or near current levels.
California's state minimum wage is presently set at $8 per hour and is scheduled to increase to $9 per hour in July, 2014 and then to $10 per hour in July 2016. Opponents of the Los Angeles $15 minimum wage point to the minimum wage increases already planned and advise a more cautious approach. The Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, however, will continue to push for an increase to $15 and hopes to get its proposal in front of city lawmakers very soon.

Apologies for my long silence. I've been busy with many things, including the Occupy movement. I just published the following piece in the Guardian Sustainable Business section, at: http://www.guardian.co.uk/sustainable-business/blog under the title, Occupy Sustainability. Hope you all have a productive and happy holiday season. More blogs in the new year. Juliet
With the recent failure of the Durban climate talks, the collapse of carbon prices in Europe, and news that emissions grew a record 6% in 2010, it's time to re-evaluate the economic approach to climate that now dominates the conversation. The creation of carbon markets, carbon offsetting and the valuation of eco-systems are premised on the idea that marketization and reliance on economic incentives will yield sustainable outcomes. Many environmentalists like these policies because they seem to work with, rather than against our existing economic institutions and incentives. But... (read more...)
