To advise all members of a fast growing grassroots project:
With the support of a growing number of Tea Party patriots with the launching of this "SHARE THE BOOK PROJECT" across the country, my OPEN PUBLIC INVITATION TO READ MY ENTIRE BOOK FREE OF CHARGE seems to have been accepted by thousands of "friends-of-friends" nationwide. Literally THOUSANDS of new readers per day are visiting the newly created "Open Public" blog site to read the entire book at .... FREE READ of Decision 2012 - A Citizen's Guide
While this is encouraging, with your support, it could be ten thousand times more effective.
Again, I just know in my heart that the power of having the "choir" at your back is a wonderful thing when they all sing in unison.
Enjoy and SHARE my friends - SHARE as you have never SHARED before.

Sen Menendez and Rep. Garrett need to cough up the dirty cash they've received from HSBC, particularly since they serve on committees with oversight of the banking industry. Please contact the senator, and Garrett if you're in the 5th District (Vernon area)). See: "Federal Lawmakers Silent on Tainted HSBC Funds -- Will Sen. Menende...? from The Revered Review.
Hi Steve Peacock
Most of us post on our individual Tea Party sites. Mine is NewJerseyTeaPartyCoalition. But if you want to check out something, try this...
Greetings, fellow New Jersey Patriots. While I am surprised that there have been zero comments for over a year, as a newcomer I'd like to encourage you all to help keep each other apprised of actions and events taking place in our troubled state and nation. As a frequent contributing writer to WND and founder/editor of U.S. Trade & Aid Monitor, my forte is in investigative journalism, helping to expose the insanity of federal spending, particularly overseas, and I intend to start digging up more data about preferential treatment projects and other discriminatory actions against whites. Plus, as someone who once was the victim of violent crime -- and was then sued (unsuccessfully) in federal court for allegedly violating the civil rights of my minority attacker/accuser -- I also have personal experience in surviving and successfully defending against a racist physical and legal attack. I hope to share my findings in these areas with fellow patriots, whether in this forum or in person.
I contacted Rep. Frelinghuysen regarding Pres. Obama's eligibility. This was his reply or non-reply. It is a PDF scan so the letterhead and some of the preprinted information is omitted or unreadable.

Mr. George Hansson
West Caldwell, NJ 07006-7917
Dear Mr. Hansson:
Thank you for contacting me to convey your concerns about
the eligibility of Barack Obama to serve as President of the
United States. I appreciate hearing from you on this matter.
Ever since the White House released a copy of the President's "long form" birth certificate earlier this year, laims have persisted that it is a forgery. Some of the most persistent critics claim the document 1) doesn't have a raised seal; 2) it isn't signed; 3) no creases from folding are evident in the scanned version; 4) in the zoomed-in view, there is a strange halo around the letters; 5) the certificate number is blacked out; 6) the document is a "certification of birth," not a "certificate of birth."
I would suggest that these claims have been explained to the satisfaction of my colleagues. Indeed, contemporaneous birth announcements in Honolulu newspapers seem very persuasive that the President qualifies as a "natural born" citizen. Once again, t-ha-n-k you for contacting me.
Rodney P. Frelinghuysen
Member of Congress
This was my reply to the Congressman.
August 4, 2011
Thank you for your response of Aug 3, 2011.
With all due respect, I do not put much faith in many of your colleagues. Nor do a growing number of voters.
Many of your colleagues that I have heard simply said they took his word regarding his birthplace. The fact he sealed his records the first day in office by itself raises questions.
Rep. Barney Frank assured us that Fannie and Freddie were financially sound! Your colleagues also make statements like, ' Guam might sink with 8,000 more Marines there', 'we intend to socialize your industry' or 'we do whatever we want and let the courts decide' and 'very little we do here is constitutional'.
I would like to see some hard evidence that this man is qualified before we risk having him returned for a second term. I don't believe the Republic could survive it!
Have you contacted your Congressman on the subject and gotten a similar response?

Biomes O' Plenty Mod 1.7.10, 1.7.2, 1.6.4
Biomes O' Plenty Mod
Biomes O' Plenty is a mod that is designed to give players a better Minecraft world to explore, and more of a reason to explore it in the first place. There are a lot of realistic biomes, some fantasy biomes, and other cool things I've added to the mod.
The mod also adds some new world types…
- Small Biomes: Basically the opposite of the Large Biomes world type.
- No Parasite: Doesn't generate the Parasitic Heap biome, for those who don't want it.
- Realistic: Only generates realistic biomes.
- Fantasy: Only generates fantasy biomes.
- Missing Biomes: Vanilla biomes + 5 biomes that were in previous versions of Minecraft, and 2 meant to represent the taiga and swamp from Beta 1.8: Rainforest, Savanna, Seasonal Forest, Shrubland, Tundra, Boreal Forest, and Lush Swamp
- Seasonal: Will be changed for the current real-life season (For the Eastern United States at least, as that's where I live).
- Holiday: Will be changed for the current United States holiday season (Halloween,Christmas, etc.)
How to install Biomes O' Plenty Mod
- Download and install Minecraft Forge
- Download Biomes O' Plenty Mod

Neighbours and well-wishers have been leaving cuddly toys and messages at the house where Madison Horne was found before she died.
08:54, UK, Tuesday 22 April 2014
A man has been charged with murder over the death of a two-year-old girl in Fife.
Officers were called to a property in Croftangry Road in Kelty around 6.30pm on Sunday after a "report of concern" for the child.
Madison Horne was taken to Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy but was later pronounced dead.
A 26-year-old man will appear at Dunfermline Sheriff Court later after he was charged with the girl's murder.
Teddy bears and flowers have been pinned to the fence of the Croftangry Road house.
One message reads: "Rest in peace little Madison, now you're in the arms of the angels."
A doll left at the scene has the message: "Heaven has gained another angel. Rest in peace little one."

IRVINE, Calif. – The 18th-ranked Arizona State University baseball team was unable to come back from an early three-run deficit and fell to UC Irvine, 5-2, on Saturday at Anteater Ballpark in Irvine, Calif.
The Anteaters (3-3) jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first behind five singles, including three straight in the middle of the order, and never relinquished their lead.
ASU starting left-hander Ryan Kellogg (0-1) tossed four consecutive scoreless innings after the first frame, but took his first loss of the season and just the second loss of his career as he conceded four runs on 10 hits and struck out a pair in six innings. He did not walk a batter for the seventh time in 17 career starts.
The Sun Devils (2-4) notched a pair of runs in the top of the sixth on an RBI double by center fielder Johnny Sewald and a sacrifice fly by Dalton DiNatale to pull within a run, 3-2, but UCI countered with two runs in the following two innings to stretch its lead back to three, 5-2.
Right-hander Eric Melbostad took over in the seventh inning and allowed one run on one hit and a pair of walks.
Designated hitter Nate Causey led off the top of the ninth inning with a double off the wall in right-center field, but three consecutive outs ended the Devils' chances of a late rally.
UCI starting right-hander Andrew Morales (1-0) earned his first win of the season after giving up two unearned runs on four hits and two walks in seven innings. Right-hander Sam Moore (3) closed out the final two frames to pick up the save.
Up Next
The Devils face Wright State at Blair Field in Long Beach, Calif., on Feb. 23 at 1 pm PT.
Coach Esmay moved to 74-20-1 in non-conference games at ASU…ASU is now 9-6 all-time against the Anteaters…ASU right fielder Trever Allen's throw was on time and on target to throw the Anteaters' lead runner out at home in the seventh, but catcher RJ Ybarra missed the tag.
Tip Your Cap To Packard Celebration
17 Days of Greatness – Centerfielder Mike Kelly (1989-91) will become the 17th Sun Devil to have his number honored on the outfield fence in a ceremony on March 8. From Feb. 20 through March 7, we're taking a look back at the 16 Sun Devil greats whose numbers have already been recognized.

Heating hot water in a kettle on the stove and manually decanting tea leaves from the pot may soon be the VCR of tea-preparing technology. The Breville Tea Maker not only brews a good cup of tea, it provides some amazing entertainment. It is captivating as it goes through the steps from boiling water to removing the leaves from the bottom of the pot. Equipped with a panel that has preset buttons for tea type and the strength of steep, this high-tech teapot makes brewing easy.
To begin the process, the Tea Maker comes with a "quick start guide" which, among other things, lists how much water to put in the carafe depending on the desired yield. The minimum is two cups and maximum is five - approximately enough for a teapot serving. Once you have filled the carafe with water, the next step is to place the loose tea in the stainless steel basket. Snap on the basket lid and the top to the pot and you are ready to start the brewing selection. Now the fun begins!
Push the button for the type of tea and then decide how you would like it brewed: strong, medium, mild or custom. This is where, with measured consistency, you can discover how best you like a particular tea. Some teas taste better brewed strong while others need, quite literally, a lighter touch. It's great to experiment and have the technology to assure you are controlling for extraneous variables - at least somewhat.
Aside from the quasi-scientific appeal, it's the steeping process that will grab your attention. As soon as the water is heated to the appropriate temperature, the basket begins its downward travel to the bottom of the carafe. It remains there for the full steeping time and then it ascends to the top, completing its mission. A true modern marvel of technology that, like your smart phone or Skype, you would have thought only possible for the Jetson's.
The automated steeping basket has entertainment value, certainly, but it's practical as well. This convenient feature gives you some freedom as you don't have to be held hostage to the teapot to remove the leaves at just the right time. That being said, the tea can cool off pretty quickly, so don't wait too long to push the "keep warm" button if you want to continue to heat it.
The Breville Tea Maker also allows for custom settings for tea brewing and if you just want to heat water, there's a button for that as well.
If pressed for finding any negatives, my only issue would be that the carafe itself is a bit heavy. I purchased a plastic cup with the same measurements as the carafe and that way I don't have to lift the pot. (After a few years of heating tea with an electric kettle made from light-weight plastic, I'm used to a lighter container, especially after you add the water.)
Quick, easy and consistent, this tea brewing system has a lot to offer. Although you may not be ready to throw the tea kettle out with the cassette player, you'll be convinced the Breville Tea Maker is a high tech option for a great cup of tea.
Reviewer's note: I received the Breville Tea Maker as a gift this holiday season after a few years of it being on my wish list. It did not disappoint!

USA Cycling and American Cycling Association

ACA Statement Regarding our Relationship with USAC, August 10, 2011
From the ACA
History of ACA
Prior to being an independent sanctioning body, the ACA was the Bicycle Racing Association of Colorado (BRAC). Formed in 1976, BRAC was the USCF (predecessor of USACycling) District that ran road racing in Colorado. Beth Wrenn-Estes was the President of BRAC. In 1994, when the USCF decided to change their district structure, Colorado clubs became upset and disenchanted with the perception that the USCF cared only about elite racers and gave no attention to local riders. Beth proposed breaking from USCF and the clubs agreed.
The ACA in its current form was born. Beth was hired as Executive Director and Yvonne van Gent, formerly the USCF District Representative, was hired as the Membership Coordinator. Beth served as Executive Director until 2007. The ACA's commitment to quality local racing and junior development was established in this time. During her tenure, because of significant mutual animosity, there was no chance of reconciliation with USACycling (USAC).
In 2008, Jon Tarkington assumed the position of Executive Director of the ACA. Under the leadership of Jon and the Board of Directors, the ACA consolidated and made transparent its finances, grew its membership, created evaluation processes for race promoters and officials, created a dynamic website that is both the organization's database and storefront, embraced and helped direct the substantial growth in cross racing, and purchased a cutting edge electronic timing system. Jon and representatives of the ACA's Board of Directors met with USAC leaders four times in attempts to negotiate a return to USAC, but could not find an agreement that worked for both parties.
In 2010, Jon decided to step down as Executive Director. Chris McGee was hired for the job, and began as ED in late January, 2011.
The Situation in 2011 Beginning this spring, our relationship with USACycling has been strained by USAC's decision to enforce UCI rule 1.2.019.
UCI Rulebook regarding 'Forbidden Races"
1.2.019 No licence holder may participate in an event that has not been included on a national, continental or world calendar or that has not been recognised by a national federation, a continental confederation or the UCI. A national federation may grant special exceptions for races or particular events run in its own country.
Attempts by promoters to gain exceptions for specific races, so that they may host UCI
professional racers, have not been approved. The ACA has formally asked for exceptions for specific races that do not conflict with USAC's National Racing Calendar, and these too have been declined. We have spoken with representatives from USAC, the US Olympic Committee, legal advisors, journalists, and other people who are close to the situation. The ACA continues to explore options to remedy this situation.
Other issues have arisen this year, the most notable of which are new call-up procedures for Masters at Cross Nationals and the difficulty with dual-permitted events.
The ACA's Position in 2011
The ACA is a fully-functioning, financially solvent 501c3 non-profit organization. We have an accountant who oversees our finances and helps produce accurate, up-to-date financial documents, which are posted on our professionally-maintained website. Our member-run Board of Directors meets monthly to provide oversight on the organization's finances, planning and operation. We have five part-time staff who are dedicated to creating the best racing experiences for our 3,000 annual members. We believe that we provide the highest quality racing and cycling development product for our members at a reasonable cost, and we believe that we are an asset to both the Colorado and American cycling communities.
Rejoin USAC?
We are occasionally asked, 'Why don't you just rejoin USAC?'
There are many reasons why this is not a simple discussion, but the primary reason is money.
Local racing in the United States is governed by USAC's Local Association (LA) Agreement. There are 33 LAs the country, totaling approximately 35,000 road/cross/track racers. Each LA receives income from USAC in the form of $10 per Senior license sold in their LA area (no money for juniors, officials, mechanics, or mountain bike licenses). In addition, Las can raise money by charging separate membership fees, $1 or $2 for each race entry in races sanctioned in the LA area (these called race surcharges), and $1 per entry from USAC's online registration service.
Most LAs are run by volunteer boards with no paid staff.
A couple of facts to think about:
- Current annual membership prices are $45 for ACA and $60 for USAC.
- At this time, approximately 23% of ACA members also hold a USAC license.
- ACA members currently enjoy a lower license fee, incredible insurance with a low $1,000 deductible and great customer support, timely results on our website, timely calculations for racing points series (BARBAT, Cross Cup), a comprehensive race kit for our promoters that includes 2 high-speed cameras, laptops, and software, access to world-class timing and results companies at affordable pricing, world-class officials, on-site medical support at all races, neutral support at 17 races by ROL Wheels (paid by ACA), and a full 9 month calendar of affordable, great racing.
- The ACA's Junior Development Program is one of the best in the country. We offer Juniors Ride Free, Junior Road Camp, Junior Cross Camp, the Colorado Mini Classic, the 1st Bike Program, and in 2012 will introduce the Junior Race Grant Program. We have a paid Junior Development Coordinator who is a former professional racer. We spend more than $40,000 each year in this investment in cycling's future.
When we talk about becoming an LA, we have to ask ourselves many questions:
- If the ACA were to simply agree to the LA model, our income from memberships would fall approximately $100,000 annually.
- As we function today, $45 from every ACA license goes toward local cycling. If we were a LA, only $10 from the USAC license goes to local Colorado racing.
- What does the core of our membership (racers aged 35-54 in categories 3 & 4) gain from a realignment with USAC?
- Would our members pay an additional fee to support the ACA's programs and services? In the past, BRAC used this model to generate income. Approximately 1/3 of Colorado racers voluntarily paid a separate fee to the local association.
- If we do not have a separate ACA membership fee, how would we provide members with the same level of support with a reduction in staff?
- How would the ACA continue its extraordinary support of junior development with significantly less budget?
One solution is to charge a separate ACA membership fee after racers pay for their USAC license. The questions: How many riders are willing to pay an additional fee for their racing licenses? What is the value of the ACA's services to Colorado racing? What could the ACA reasonably charge as a LA membership fee?
To address these questions and get sense of our clubs' needs, the ACA will conduct a survey of our 95 clubs. As a member-driven non-profit, it is imperative that we receive the input necessary to act in the interests of our membership. This survey will be sent the week of August 15th, 2011.
Colorado has always been a fantastic place to ride, race and train, for beginners and professional racers alike. We are committed to providing high quality events for all bicycle racers regardless of their level. The ACA always has, and always will, welcome all racers to our events. It is important to note that the ACA is not creating any barriers for racer participation, and we will not bend or break our own policy in the interests of one segment of our membership.
The ACA is a grassroots, amateur-based organization. "The mission of the ACA is to expand and develop the sport of amateur bicycle racing in the Rocky Mountain region while ensuring quality experiences for all involved." We continue to pursue remedies to the situation with professional racers and elite level racers, but at the same time must remain focused on our mission. Please know that we work every day to fulfill this mission. Board and staff information is available under 'Contacts' on the ACA website.
If you have questions, suggestions, or comments, please contact us.

Your comment shows the typical attitude of the ACA members these days (over 35, men, who are 4's, and do not race a lot. Currently over 50% of our membership races 5 times or less per year). First you worry about cost, have you looked at the bikes people are riding these days? I watched a junior women in the cat 4 race this past Sunday on a carbon bike, with Zipp tubulars, and an SRM. Dear god please help us. Secondly you are so out of touch that plenty of people already do have 2 licenses, not because we want to, but because we have to!
80% of the guys on our team already have both license. Not because we are some pro team, but because we like to race. Guys may race out of state at a larger regional race like Gila or Tulsa Though, do one of the great USAC races in CO like Apsen or Durango, or when traveling to AZ, CA, WY, or UT, or want to do an NRC race to test their game, or maybe nationals (juniors, masters, senior, Track, cross).
The ACA right now is focused on the low end masters as they make up the largest # of members. I would love to see how much these guys really race. IMO a lot of these guys don't race much. The ACA is like most organizations, where 20% of the members do 80% of the business. So when the ACA says only 23% of its members have USAC license I have to just laugh. Guess what ACA? Those are the guys who really race, who race a lot of days with you all, and are committed to racing. They are not the other 50% of our membership that race 5 times per year or less (the guy who only does TT, or only does HC, or does 4 road races per year). ACA needs to focus on their real customers, those of us who race 20 plus days a year.

Maybe those 23% are in fact the ones who race a lot, but that still leaves a big majority of ACA members who would have to pay an extra $40/year for a license. Unlikely to happen.

CAT 5 learning Curve
Submitted by Mahting Putelis (not verified) on
Having only started cycling three years ago in AZ I can attest to the impact being a CAT 5 racer had on me. I was really not interested in having to complete 10 mass start events/ races to get my CAT 4 upgrade. However, in the time it took to complete those events I received a lot of mentoring from my teammates at Bicycle Haus, and a fair share of being yelled at by not so nice guys out in Redondo Beach at the Donut Ride. But on all those weekend group rides/ team rides I learned a lot about how to handle my bike, ride in a pace line, wash my jersey ?, the fact that my cross check is not a race bike, etc. etc. With time I completed my races and used my experience riding with other older riders to help make the last few CAT 5 races better, i.e. got breaks to stick, coordinated chase efforts. In the end the extra half year I spent doing those first ten races was great learning that made me a better bike rider today.

USAC/UCI Exclusion is Illegal!
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Can you imagine your employer threatening to fire you if you did any outside contract work? This is what USAC/UCI is doing against it's own members. Besides being highly immoral, it is most likely illegal. Problem is riders or promoters don't have the time or money to fight it in court. The USAC has the time, money and lawyers to fight it even if it is not what their members want.
If I where a D3 Pro Rider living in Colorado, I would give the USAC B.O.D. a piece of my mind. http://usacycling.org/news/user/story.php?id=244

At the end of the day, whether your name is 'ACA' or 'USAC', all the money for a cycling organization comes from members and sponsors. Additionally, all the work is done either by volunteers or employees paid for from member/sponsor-sourced funds.

USAC doesn't run races, they sanction races. The reason more races aren't sanctioned through USAC instead of ACA is simply a function of most clubs currently being directly affiliated w/ ACA and the success of the events by those clubs is tied directly to whether or not the events are BAR/BAT.

Miley Cyrus seems to love going as naked as possible onstage and acting outrageously – even simulating intimate acts. Jimmy Kimmel's Aunt Chippy had choice words for her MTV performance in which she was grinding into Robin Thicke. And it seems that her antics with Thicke created such a row between the singer and his wife, that Paula Patton wants a divorce. The San Jose Mercury News on Feb. 27, 2014 reported, "Miley Cyrus episode helped end Robin Thicke's marriage." Entertainmentwise got to the heart of the matter on Feb. 27, 2014 noting, "Paula Patton Felt 'Utterly Disrespected' After Robin Thicke And Miley Cyrus's X-Rated Performance."
Although Miley's act may have taken Thicke by surprise, Patton was apparently angered that he played along in front of millions of viewers.
Blurring the lines
Some opinion writers have said that Miley's performance was a parody of Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" and, as such, we are judging her too harshly. However, can it be said that both are demeaning women? Patton seems to think so and is refusing all Thicke's attempts to reconcile.
Aunt Chippy blamed Billy Ray Cyrus for her Miley's antics stating "Stay home and take care of your daughter. . . start acting like a father." To Miley she had harsh words, "You're a pig." Aunt Chippy On: Miley Cyrus At The VMAs Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Sophomore midfielder Sal Zizzo (San Diego, Calif./Patrick Henry HS) of the UCLA men's soccer team was selected for the second consecutive week as the UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week (Nov. 20-26).
Zizzo scored the game-tying and game-winning goals in the NCAA quarterfinals to send UCLA to the College Cup for the 12th time in school history. His goals capped off an improbable comeback on the road against No. 1 seeded Duke, who had jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the 19th minute. Zizzo scored in the 78th minute to tie the game, and he ended the game just 30 seconds into overtime with a close-range shot. Zizzo has scored five goals with one assist in the NCAA Tournament and now has seven goals, nine assists and 23 points on the year.
This is Zizzo's second UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week honor of the season and of his career.
Also nominated: Darren Collison, M. Basketball; Erin Hardy, W. Soccer; Michael March, M. Water Polo; Lindsey Pluimer, W. Basketball; Nellie Spicer, W. Volleyball.

Memorial Day is celebrated in the United States on the last Monday of May each year. The holiday is designated as the unofficial start of summer, as well. Besides time off from work and school, picnics, and visits to cemeteries to honor the nation's fallen servicemen and service-women, it is a time to recall the greatest of patriotic songs that have lived on through the years. Ten of the most famous and best-loved patriotic songs in the history of the United States are linked to this article.
Memorial Day 2014: What is open and closed
After each title, the lyricist and music writer are listed; then, the performer or performers of each song video are acknowledged.
The Ten Best Patriotic Songs in the United States
1. The Star Spangled Banner was a poem written by Francis Scott Key in 1814; Key set the poem to a modified musical version of a 'drinking' song called Anacreontic Song which was written by Britain John Stafford Smith. Though well-known years before, The Star Spangled Banner became the United States' official National Anthem in 1931 by an act of the United States Congress. Sung by The Cactus Cuties.
2. The Battle Hymn of the Republic is a lyric written by Julia Ward Howe in 1861, set to a tune written several years before by William Steffe. Sung by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
3. America the Beautiful was a poem written by Katharine Lee Bates in the 1880s, and Samuel A. Ward added the music to the words in the 1890s. Sung by Barbara Streisand.
4. God Bless America was written by Irving Berlin in 1918, then revised and recorded by Kate Smith twenty years later when the song and Kate Smith became very popular. Sung by Kate Smith.
5. The Stars and Stripes Forever, declared the United States' National March by the United States Congress in 1987, was written in 1896 by John Philip Sousa, a Marine Band leader from 1880 to 1892, as well as a member of the Hall of Fame of Great Americans and an inductee into the American Classical Music Hall of Fame. Performed by The Marine Band.
6. My Country Tis of Thee is a lyric written by Samuel Francis Smith in 1931 and thereafter set to the British National Anthem, God Save the Queen. Sung by Aretha Franklin at President Obama's Inauguration.
7. Semper Fidelis, the official march of the United States Marine Corps, was written in 1888 by John Philip Sousa, a Marine Band leader from 1880 to 1892, as well as a member of the Hall of Fame of Great Americans and an inductee into the American Classical Music Hall of Fame. Performed by The Marine Band.
8. The Marine's Hymn (From the Halls of Montezuma), the official hymn of the United States Marine Corps, was composed by Jacques Offenbach in the mid-1800s under another name and the lyricist is unknown. Sung by The Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
9. God Bless the USA written and originally recorded by country singer and songwriter Lee Greenwood in 1984. Sung by Lee Greenwood. This is the most contemporary of what are classified as classic patriotic songs.
10. This Land is Your Land was written by folk singer and songwriter Woody Guthrie. He wrote the lyrics in 1940 to one of his previous melodies as a negative response to God Bless America because he was tired of hearing it. Sung by Woody Guthrie.
Dedicated with love, honor, and respect for my Father, Fred Paulson (1918-1970), who served in the United States Army during World War II. His love of country and music are among the best things he shared with me.

The University of Texas and the nation entered the decade of the 1950s filled with optimism about the rapidly expanding economy and a renewed focus on family and social issues. By 1950, Austin could truly be called a city, having reached 130,000 residents, while UT had grown to more than 15,000 students. Although it was a struggle, the first African-American students were admitted to UT's law school in the summer of 1950, following the Supreme Court decision of Sweat v. Painter and four years before Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man.
The football team also appeared to be heading in a positive direction in the first half of the decade. Although fans and university officials were stunned by Blair Cherry's 1951 decision to step down as head coach, the appointment of Ed Price, Cherry's main assistant, was a popular decision. In his first three years, Price's team went 7-3, 9-2, and 7-3. During those years, he won the conference title twice and beat Tennessee in the Cotton Bowl in 1953. Price's 1952 team was even the first to be televised when KTBC aired the A&M game on Thanksgiving Day. But then a malaise seemed to strike the team. The 1954 squad went only 4-5-1, and did little better in 1956 when they finished even at 5-5. Even Price's popularity with teammates and University officials couldn't bear up under the 1-9 record of his final season, and so citing "the good of the team," Price resigned as football coach in December. Athletic Director D.X. Bible began searching for a new head coach.The Longhorns' fall from grace in the early Fifties mirrored a decline in confidence in America itself. Stalin's rise in the Soviet Union and fears about Communist expansion into Korea and parts of Europe made Americans unsure about their future in the new Cold War. Ever competitive, Americans responded to the growth of Communism by sending American troops to defend Korea and by beginning a competition with the Soviets in technology and infrastructure that gave rise to the to the expansion of television, the birth of the interstate highway system, and the launching of the first satellite in space.
The Longhorns decided to be competitive, too. Athletic Director D.X. Bible searched the nation to find the right head coach, finally settling on Darryl Royal, who was working at the University of Washington when Bible offered him the job. Although he didn't have much to work with in 1957, Royal magically gave the Texas fans a 6-4-1 winning season and a trip to the Sugar Bowl.
Although a few football program covers continued to rely on syndicated art in the 1950s, the majority of the programs featured the captivating artwork of New Orleans editorial cartoonist John Churchill Chase, who created a new, smart image for the Longhorns.
John Churchill Chase
For almost twenty years, Chase's witty Bevo cartoons graced the covers of UT's football programs and those of many UT opponents. Born in 1905, Chase graduated from high school in New Orleans and then attended the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts. Following graduation, he worked for a time as an assistant to Frank King, of "Gasoline Alley" fame, at the Chicago Tribune. Then in 1927, Chase returned to New Orleans and began working as an editorial cartoonist for the New Orleans Item. He also did freelance work, ultimately deciding to leave the paper in 1964 to focus more time on his art and his other interests. In 1967, Chase began working for WDSU-TV, where he drew editorial cartoons for the evening news and designed storyboards. Chase was an expert on the history of New Orleans and lectured at Tulane University on that topic. His biggest commercial project was the creation of the historical mural at the New Orleans Public Library, considered a city treasure. Chase authored several books, including Frenchmen, Desire, Good Children and Other Streets of New Orleans, Louisiana Purchase: An American Story, and Today's Cartoons. He also served as president of the American Association of Editorial Cartoonists. The city of New Orleans honored him in 1990 by naming a downtown street in his honor. He died in 1986.
Although the first Chase cover we've included here is the September 16, 1953 program for the Villanova Game, Chase's covers may have been used even earlier by UT, as no covers were unearthed for the 1951 or 1952 seasons. Whenever he began, Chase's covers are now treasured keepsakes, for his vision of Bevo as the canny trickster brought smiles to the fans that filled Memorial Stadium in the 1950s and continue to amuse modern viewers who often remark that they remind them of the Roadrunner & Coyote cartoons. Chase's drawings linger in the memory because of their sly wit. You can't look at the 1954 Washington State program, for instance, and not chuckle at Bevo's supposed innocence as he sets his clever trap for the Washington Cougar who's wary…but intrigued. Or consider the 1956 Homecoming program when Texas played SMU. In one humorous tableau, Chase has managed to convey the Longhorn's hopes to beat the Mustangs and the fact that the game was also "Dad's Day," Homecoming and Armed Forces Day all rolled into one.
By creating covers specifically for the Texas football games, Chase was able to integrate local storylines and national news events into his covers and make them unique and truly memorable. The Tulane cover in 1957, for example, refers to the heavy rains that hit Austin that previous spring (ending a long drought); the 1955 Texas Tech program marked the installation of lights on Memorial Stadium allowing for night games; the launch of Sputnik prompted Chase's 1958 Georgia cover; and when the Longhorns played California in 1959 as NBC's "game of the day," Chase found just the right formula to mark the milestone.
Some events happened repeatedly, of course, but Chase's covers were always fresh, always amusing. Band Day, for instance, was the Saturday each fall when local high school bands (sometimes more than 70) attended the game and participated in pre-game and half-time activities. The high school bands marched down Congress Avenue in the morning as judges scored their play; winners were announced at halftime. Dad's Day began in 1948, following the formation of the University of Texas Dad's Association. At a home football game each year, UT honored the contributions of fathers to the University and remembered the founding of the organization. Boy Scout Day was also an annual affair. On this Saturday, the Athletic Council honored boys who'd earned the rank of Eagle Scout over the past year during the halftime show. And then there was the matter of the "bronze hat." The annual game between UT and Oklahoma was played at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, a site chosen because of its equal distance between the two campuses. Because of the unique nature of this rivalry, a special trophy went to the winner—a bronze cowboy hat mounted on a base of wood. Here, in these Oklahoma programs from 1955, 1957 and 1959, we see Chase at his best, with wily Bevo again getting the last laugh.

Holistic health coaches are a viable alternative to registered dieticians and other traditionally trained nutritionists. Locating a competent counselor can definitely help you achieve your goals. Here are a few tips to help make your search a little easier.
Adjustable custom tailored plans -. Regardless of your counselor's nutritional approach, make sure that he / she really works with you to put your own unique "stamp" onto your plan. Although your guide will probably introduce you to new foods foreign to your diet, this plan is meant to help you develop a healthy way of eating that you can follow for life; you should feel relatively comfortable following this regimen.
Listen twice, speak once - A consultation with a health coach should require you to do most of the talking, not the other way around. An effective counselor should be well versed in assessing and addressing your needs just by listening to you. If the coach is especially adept, he / she should also be able to assess you needs through your body language (which speaks just as loudly as your vocals).
Emphasis on "total wellness" – A complete health coaching program should emphasize every aspect of your life such as, nutrition, work career issues, social / personal relationships, self love and if you are religious, the spiritual realm. An imbalance in any of these arenas often leads to an imbalanced diet (emotional eating is a way that folks "create" equilibrium).
Alternate views, solid facts - Alternative health counselors often have information not readily expressed in the mainstream. However, he / she should be able to provide you with sufficient and competent information to back up any argument(s). If you feel the person doesn't have adequate knowledge, don't be afraid to ask and confirm the person's credentials.
Comfort level. – Lastly, but most importantly, make sure that you feel at ease talking with your counselor. Did he / she give off a calm or tranquil sense of well being, or did they appear to be fidgety, impatient or in a rush? When you feel at ease with your counselor, everything else will naturally fall into place.
I hope that the above tips I have provided are useful and guide you in your search. Good luck and happy healing! Learn how to "cultivate balance through total nourishment", visit www.360nourishment.com today!

Warm Bodies, Cold or Warm?
I saw the movie here in Fresno on my birthday and it was very funny and in good tune with the book. However, there were some differences that were more notable to me, some I wish they had kept to the book more. Overall though, a great zombie love story and pretty warm, or close to the book.
There were a couple details that those who read it will notice right away. For one, his attire was supposed to be more business like. However, the red hoodie actually worked best visually with his pasty zombie complexion. There was also a different version of the end in the book. Yet again, I like how they did it in the movie best, aside from Julie, the girl, having visual changes in her eyes in the book. That may have been a neat detail to include, but other than that I thought the movie was a great version of the book that I enjoyed greatly. It seems like many also appreciated the humor in the movie.
Goodreads explains the book here:
"R is a young man with an existential crisis--he is a zombie. He shuffles through an America destroyed by war, social collapse, and the mindless hunger of his undead comrades, but he craves something more than blood and brains. He can speak just a few grunted syllables, but his inner life is deep, full of wonder and longing. He has no memories, no identity, and no pulse. Just dreams.
After experiencing a teenage boy's memories while consuming his brain, R makes an unexpected choice that begins a tense, awkward, and strangely sweet relationship with the victim's human girlfriend. Julie is a burst of vibrant color in the otherwise dreary and gray landscape that R lives in. His decision to protect her will transform not only R, but his fellow Dead, and perhaps their whole lifeless world.
Scary, funny, and surprisingly poignant, Warm Bodies is about being alive, being dead and the blurry line in between."
I especially like the last line and it being about "being alive, being dead and the blurry line in between." Don't we all feel that way at times? Perhaps that is why this zombie love story hits home with so many. That is what the best fiction does, it captures our attention in the impossibly unreal yet captures the real parts of what we want in life and love. Showing us that even in the worst zombie-like apocalyptic times we can still find love...

|Vandal rally comes up short
SEATTLE -- The Idaho volleyball team couldn't overcome a slow start against Seattle U on Friday night, falling 3-1.
Idaho was in a 2-0 hole after 25-12 and 25-21 losses in the first two sets, but came out energized in the third set and extended the match with a 25-18 win. The Vandals led 18-12 in the fourth set but Seattle U closed out the set and match on a 13-2 run for a 25-20 match-clinching win.
"We played jittery then we started to get into a rhythm in game three," Idaho coach Debbie Buchanan said after the match. "We told them we had nothing to lose so just go after it. We had that lead in game four and it's just going back to making some of those little errors that we have to nip, we can't keep letting those things happen. Unfortunately that's some of the youth we see at times."
Sophomore Katelyn Peterson and redshirt-freshman Ali Forde led the offensive attack for the Vandals. Peterson finished with 12 kills on a .393 hitting percentage while Forde had 12 kills of her own and hit .303, both career highs. Sophomore setter Meredith Coba had a double-double with 35 assists and 10 digs in the match.
"We need to get more than two people hitting high numbers," Buchanan said. "Right now teams are just releasing on us. As that match went on and we weren't passing well they were just releasing out and it makes it easy for them."
After hitting .000 in the first set, Idaho finished with a .209 hitting percentage, while the Redhawks hit .309 in the match. Idaho out-blocked Seattle 7-5 but the Redhawks owned a 63-45 advantage in digs.
Idaho falls to 10-8 on the season with the loss and 3-3 in the Western Athletic Conference. Seattle improves to 7-14 overall and 4-2 in the WAC.
The Vandals return to action next week when they host UMKC and Chicago State on Oct. 17 and 19. Both matches begin at 7 p.m. in Memorial Gym.

It may have been close, it may have been improbable, but on Sunday night the Gators received a bid to play in the NCAA Tournament, ending a two-year drought that followed back-to-back national championships.
Florida, the 10th seed in the West bracket, will travel to Oklahoma City for a Thursday afternoon matchup against 7th seeded Brigham Young. The Cougars finished the season with a 29-5 record and a #15 AP ranking.
Florida was one of the final teams to be selected for the tournament, and garnered the invite over other bubble teams that included Mississippi State, Virginia Tech, and Illinois. While MSU and Va Tech have arguments that they should have made the big dance, the NCAA Tournament committee has previously made it clear that they value teams that play a difficult schedule, and that the final month of play is not weighted more than any other part of the season.
Clearly, while those teams may have had more victories than the Gators, and in the case of MSU a good run in the SEC Tournament, they played very weak regular season schedules and did not beat nearly as many quality teams as the Gators did.
Brigham Young will present a challenge to the Gators, who in their last game, a loss to Mississippi State, had trouble defending the three-point shot. BYU is averaging 83 ppg and as a team is shooting almost 50% from the floor including 42% from beyond the arc.
The Cougar's top three scorers are all guards, and are led by Jimmer Fredette who is averaging 21.7 ppg while making three-pointers at a 45% clip as well as 90% of his free throws. The Gators will have to play better perimeter defense than they did against Mississippi State last week to have a chance in this game. They may end up playing more man defense than usual to counter BYU's outside shot, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Ray Shipman getting a lot of minutes because of his defensive ability.
BYU also has more depth than Florida. BYU has nine (and almost ten) players averaging more than 10 minutes per game compared to only seven for UF. Where the Gators do hold an advantage is inside. Florida's frontcourt is bigger, more physical, and more athletic than BYU's, and the Gators will be looking to exploit this advantage with good inside passing and strong post play from Alex Tyus and Vernon Macklin.
Despite their high national ranking and good overall record, BYU hasn't really played many good teams out of conference, and have four combined losses to New Mexico and UNLV. Because of this the committee only awarded BYU a #7 seed, not even representative of a top 25 ranking.
This is the 25th tournament appearance for Brigham Young and the 15th appearance for Florida. The winner will take on the winner of Kansas State - North Texas on Saturday.

In order to understand how the nuclear magnetic resonance experiment is carried out, it is import to take a look at the instrumentation which carries out the experiment.
As we had seen in the Principle of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance for the NMR experiment we require one strong magnetic field to create the energy difference between the nuclei and another smaller excitation field. In the above diagram we see the insides of an NMR instrument. In the center of the instrument lies the sample in a suitable solvent. This sample is surrounded by the receiver coils which will detect any changes in magnetic field within the sample. Moving outwards is the Rf emitter coil which is used to excite the nuclei from ground state to higher energy level which would then cause a signal to be generated in the receiver coil. The orientation of this Rf coil is perpendicular to the receiver coil. Moving further outwards is the strong magnetic field H0 which is applied perpendicular to both the receiver coil as well as the Rf coil. Thus since all the magnetic parts are perpendicular to each other, the magnetic fields of each should not interfere with each other.
The vector diagram for the above setup is as shown below.

Van Hoisington Q2 Letter: "Fully Committed To Treasurys" But Clouds Are Gathering
- Printer-friendly version
- Jul 13, 2011 12:26 PM
- 30
And last, we still can't find the chapter in the history books that indicates a sovereign state (either in Roman times, or modern, and especially since the invention of the printing press) imploded due to hyperdeflation. That long end of the bond market is sold to you Van.
Thank you Tyler, finally, for making a point that I have made myself so many times here already. Yes, while historically more currency collapses and hyperinflations than can be counted have occurred due to governmental overspending and accelerating indebtedness, there is not ONE example in all of history of a so-called "hyperdeflation" (the very idea of which is an absurdity and an intellectual insult). Moreover, there is not one example of deflation occurring under a fiat currency regime --- yet hundreds if not thousands of examples of currency depreciations and collapses occurring under the same. In fact, currency depreciation is part and parcel of a fiat currency regime, and not ONE single appreciating fiat currency is to be found in the historical record.
Anyone still suggesting that we even hypothetically face a "threat" from "deflation", at this point, is either a clueless and historically ignorant idiot, or else (and far more likely) is just a shill and malicious propagandist for the financial and political powers that be, doing their part to lay a trap for the naive and unastute average saver or investor by confusing them and talking them into taking exactly the OPPOSITE measures that they should be taking to protect their savings and investment wealth from the continued fall, and possible collapse, of the US dollar and every other fiat currency.
"Moreover, there is not one example of deflation occurring under a fiat currency regime"
really? the views are so simplistic around here these days.
all the arguments made for higher rates right now were being made 1Q 2010 when QE1 was running its course. Lacy and Van made much the same arguments then as now, and made 82% annualized return from April thru August 2010.
("printing of money" - lol. even if they were printing money (they are not, they are using excess reserves to QE), the amount is trivial as compared to the loss in asset prices since the collapse. $2trillion? 3? 4? US Household net worth is down near $8trillion since 2007, even after recovering $8tril since 2009.)
recent history is telling you what will happen to rates in the next months - VERY RECENT history. but no one wants to hear it. this place is comical these days.
So, you claim that my claim (actually, the historical fact) that there has never been a deflation under a fiat currency regime is false --- and then go on to, um, fail to address that matter entirely.
I stand by the historical record --- what is YOUR evidence to the contrary?
our difference in opinion lies in our definition of "period", as in 'duration', or 'timing'.
I don't doubt there's a high probability we will see hyperinflation. it's not going to happen anytime soon. and in the meantime, Hoisington's forecast is spot on. but even they acknowledge 'the clouds are gathering'. but this is measured in years, in parts of decades... not weeks or months.
I don't see how the definition of "period", or any question of timing or duration, affects the fundamental facts of the deflation debate here at all.
Despite many widespread but misinformed Keynesian notions, the decline in home prices, or of ANY asset price or valuation, does NOT constitute deflation, unless one is willing to make the ridiculous claim that asset valuations constitute money. But then again, with Keynesians, no wild or ignorant economic assumption, no matter how absurd, should be discounted.
to be clear: I'm talking about making money. Now. In the next quarter, year, few years. Nothing else.
this inflation is speculation on margin in commodities, nothing more. loss of confidence is the real risk, but that's down the line as I said.
good talk

good talk
deflation is embarrassing now,
inflation is embarrassing tomorrow.
More from the deflationist looney-bin. That's right, "printing money" and not "QE". Use the proper terms because when you start using enemy terminology you are disempowering your own language and thought. You can try and piss on our legs and tell us it's raining but nobody is buying that bullshit anymore and certainly not around these here parts~!
Anybody who banks on the government's ability to milk me forever to pay them deserves what is coming next.
It's not my debt. And I'm not paying it.
Go ahead, give them your money and wait for them to come after me with a whip and a pistol. I'll just produce less. Good luck with that. Delusional bastards.
Are you paying any kind of tax?...then it's your debt and you are paying it TaxSlave
Let me get this straight. The argument is that rates won't rise because the economy won't be able to handle it? Really? That's the investment thesis?
"rates will rise when 'investors lose confidence in the dollar stream of future surpluses,'"
Future surpluses, accrued when Dwight D. Eisenhower is thawed and elected President in 2052??? Wow. This little statement really is a gem. "Future surpluses," ha ha ha ha ha ha! I keep waiting for THAT unicorn, a balanced budget, to fly into view. Wow.....
Meanwhile interest payments will rise. The only way we see a balanced budget, might be.. and i do mean might, by inflating the currency to pay off the debt, therefore no longer having to pay interest payments. But even then, I'm sure there would be much worse things to worry about than government debt...
We NEED Tax Breaks!! for the Rich!
We NEED Forced Austerity for everyone except the Top 1%!
We NEED Cuts across the Board!! that effects everyone but the Top 1%!
We NEED ALL of these things so that "We the Sheepish Consumers Masses" can be squeezed enough to cause action!
Anything that makes the Rich, Richer and the Poor, Poorer! is Great! for the Country because it will more quickly bring about change that "We the People" truly can believe in!
That is the meme that banker shill Peter Atwater is trying to get out there- that the "top !% decide where the market goes", that if we push the elites too hard (by slapping their wrists?), they will take their ball and go home.
They know Systemic collapse is near (here?), they just want to get the right story in peoples minds, to avoid being strung up.
This just shows though that gold and silver aren't ready for blast off [YET]. They're going to scare everyone with deflation again, knocking down markets across the board. Gold and silver will hold up much better than equities and commodities, but they won't be immune.
Make sure you get rid of every last FRN and BTFD (it'll be the last one).
"The U.S. economy is too fragile to sustain higher interest rates except for interim, transitory periods that have been recurring in recent years."
ok, so a economy built upon credit based consumerism isn't going to survive 29.99% credit card rates? well, blow me over with a feather
thought by now we would have consumer credit GSE to resolve the problem. well a lot of poeople thought Obama would do a lot of things. i thought he might appoint a non-Wall street connected person to UST to give it a more main street focus (like H Clinton for instance). the man is completely clueless.
It's like they are pathologically BLIND. Not liars. Blind.
Oil is $100/barrel. What the hell do they think can possibly work with $100 oil?
Ever? What can possibly work like this?
if oil prices fall the deflationary spiral resumes. Obama wants to keep oil prices high, home prices high, gold prices high. Anything else is to risk deflationary suicide.
Repeat after me: There is NO such thing as a deflation under a fiat currency regime. Period.
what would $25 oil do to profits at Chevron, Exxon, etc? What would $25 oil and $2 gasoline do to tax revenues. How much military hardware are the Saudis buying from us with $25 oil? How much more production and consumption is added to the economy with $25 oil? (very little)
And your point would be ......?
Get back to me when oil is actually trading at $25, and not at the current $95.
all very good stuff (once you get out of Manhattan) and too many juicy quotes to mention. this one hits me, plus the liabilities of the Federal Reserve
(which are just another form of federal debt) Its not entirely obvious that this political calculus will always be true. There are forces in government ready to consider firewalling the Feds balance sheet from the UST/taxpayers. In all these people could literally erase all the bullshit that has gone on since 2008, by forcing the Fed into bankruptcy, and of course throwing a few deliquent mortgage holders out of their homes, though ownership of the paper could hold that process up for years.
A deflationary crash would rewrite the political landscape, just as it did in the 30's. While the state may remain, the guts of thing would entirely different.
I love it when economists declare "the tax multiplier is minus 2 or minus 3, so raising marginal tax rates will not be helpful."
Why is it, then, that secular real GDP growth over long periods correlates *positively* with highest marginal tax rate?
The mainstream economists--even Fisherian ones--miss the forest for the trees.
The social contract is broken. Greed has been glorified. You first after me.
Deflation, i.e. a decrease in the money supply?
Not a chance.
What seems incredible is the claim that changing the tax code by eliminating deductions and exemptions would save "$400 to $500 billion" per year(page three under 'Permanent Fiscal Solutions Versus Quick Fixes).
This is an extraordinary claim which, if true, dwarfs the vague political promises of between two and four trillion in reductions(never to see the light of day) over a 'ten year period'. lol
I don't know this writer or much of anything else, but if those savings were able to be spent on infrastructure, 30% might come right back in the form of taxes to the Treasury. Now, there must be something wrong with this thought except 'political will'(unless it is the will of the pols) because any person on the street would naturally say yes to this. Main street is starving and not THAT stupid.
I'm amazed or out of touch that this has not been mentioned in public.
Help me out if anyone is still there.

In an April 7, 2014 column for BarbWire, Jeff Allen responded to the decision by Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich to step down amid a storm of criticism about his contribution to the campaign to repeal marriage equality in California, once again, by lashing out at the LGBT community.
Despite having had the whole weekend to try to articulate his feelings, Allen once again is unable to support himself any way except to throw out a conspiracy theory and lacing it with gay / terrorist puns.
If someone donates $100 or more in support or opposition to a ballot initiative in California, state law requires the disclosure of your full name, occupation and employer. The LA Times published an on-line, searchable database in 2008 with the names and information of those who contributed to the Prop 8 referendum. Armed with this information, militant members of the Al-'Gay'da and Lezbollah terrorist networks utilized Google Maps and produced/published maps indicating where all of the Prop 8 supporters lived and worked. Almost immediately, the supporters of natural marriage found themselves in the crosshairs of an angry mob of homofascist enemies of freedom.
So, whenever liberals argue in favor of legislation mandating the disclosure of the identities of contributors to political issues or candidates, now we know why. It's not really about financial transparency or the integrity of the democratic process. It's so they can target, intimidate and launch reprisals against those with whom they disagree. All dissent must be silenced by the homosexual Taliban.
Once again, Allen operates under the assumption that people do not have the right to do disagree with his own agenda.
No matter how loud Jeff Allen kicks and screams, or how many times he does it, he will never be able to disguise his hatred of the First Amendment as support for it.

According to Monday's New Orleans Times-Picayune, a Violet, La., man is facing a charge of aggravated animal cruelty after a video surfaced of him beating his pit bull with boxing gloves until the dog was unconscious.
The St. Bernard Sheriff's Office arrested 21-year-old Asani Woods for the abuse which was captured on video in December. Woods can be seen in the video wearing boxing gloves and repeatedly hitting the dog, named "Tiger," who cries throughout the horrific ordeal.
Woods is then observed picking up the apparently unconscious dog and slamming her to the ground.
Deputies were led to Woods after discovering the video on the cell phone of 21-year-old Johnny Dominick, who admitted to filming the abuse. Dominick was in custody on drug charges when he told the authorities that he had taken the video - after his admission, he was also charged as a principal to aggravated cruelty.
Though Tiger survived the brutal beating, she was killed in January when Woods took her to the ASPCA and requested that she be put down because she was "overly aggressive."
According to the Sheriff's Office, Woods was "surprised" that there were concerns over the abuse on the video, telling deputies that it was just "me disciplining my dog." Woods was "disciplining" the dog because she had made a mess in the house.
