It's usually pop stars who get the honor of performing the national anthem at the Super Bowl.
For this year's big game, held Sunday at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., the National Football League handed the anthem off to an opera diva -- and the result was dramatically different from what's we've seen from recent Super Bowl singers.
Renee Fleming, the Grammy-winning soprano known for singing at President Obama's inauguration as well as for many other milestone achievements, absolutely scored a touchdown with her stunning, high-flying rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner."
Her version was careful, deliberate and much slower than we've grown accustomed to hearing. She didn't rush a single syllable, carefully enunciating each word like it was the most important one in the song. But she certainly sent the song sailing on a few occasions, delivering a couple of notes toward the end of the song that are probably still ringing around MetLife.
Queen Latifah performed before Fleming, handling "America the Beautiful." It was a very sweet, friendly rendition, delivering more charm than vocal fireworks. It worked well as a companion piece for Fleming's anthem.
Also, it's interesting to note that the performance of "America the Beautiful" lead directly into a commercial for the new "Captain America" movie. That was sure convenient.

Title IX
Title IX has significantly improved women and girls' access to educational opportunities as well as protection from discrimination and sexual harassment. The law protects students, faculty and staff in all institutions of learning from kindergarten through post-secondary. It also prohibits discriminatory practices based on pregnancy, childbirth, miscarriage or sexual orientation. Title IX has been instrumental in advancing women's athletics and, since its enactment, steadily increased the number of girls and women participating in school sports. Title IX addresses the availability, quality and kinds of benefits, opportunities and treatment that athletes receive. How Title IX applies to other educational areas, in particular science and technology, is a source of increasing interest and debate.

Quote: Kucinich Announces Game Changing Constitutional Amendment to Publicly Finance Federal Elections
Congressman Kucinich
Washington, Jan 19 -
On the eve of the second anniversary of the Supreme Court ruling known as Citizens United, which opened the floodgate of unlimited, shadowy corporate spending in public elections, Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) has introduced H. J. Res. 100, a constitutional amendment to rescue American democracy from corporate moneys corrupting influence.
Because of the decision by the Supreme Court majority in the Citizens United case, more money was spent on campaigns in the 2010 election than has ever been spent in a mid-term election.
Because of the Citizens United case, more money will be spent in the 2012 elections than has ever been spent in an election in the history of our country.
Because of the Citizens United case, American democracy has been put up on the auction block, said Kucinich.
H.J. Res.100 would require that all federal campaigns all campaigns for President, Vice-President, Senator and Representative be financed exclusively with public funds and prohibit any expenditures from any other source, including the candidate. H. J. Res. 100 would also prohibit any expenditures in support of, or in opposition to, any federal candidate, so that interest groups will not be able to influence elections. It will maintain the First Amendment freedom of the press and preserve the traditional role that the media have played in our electoral process.
We must rescue American democracy from unlimited corporate money. This is the most fundamental issue facing the future of our nation. With corporate, private financing we have officials working for the interest of corporations. With public financing we have officials working for the public. And public financing will actually save taxpayers money, by eliminating any incentive of public officials to reward campaign contributors with taxpayer subsidies.
We must eliminate the influence of money on our elections and on our policy-making. We must eliminate the influence of special interests on our elections and on our legislation. We must eliminate the influence of multi-national corporations and foreign corporations on the government of our country. We cannot wait. We must fight for government of the people, by the people, for the people, said Kucinich.

Every November� I like to buy a cd of Christmas music.� Last year I bought Michael Buble's cd.� The soundtrack to the movie, Elf, was another past purchase.� One of my favorite buys, however, is� a cd of Christmas� standards sung by Bing Crosby and Perry Como.� I love� to pop it in the cd player while I am in the kitchen, mixing up a batch of Christmas cookies or washing the dishes.� The song, I'll Be Home for Christmas, as sung by Mr. Como, this year especially, never failed to bring a tear to my eye.� Our oldest son is in the Marines Corps, and this was his first Christmas away from us.� That is why this song resonated with me in such a strong way.� In a way that� hasn't ever touched my emotions� before.
I'll Be Home for Christmas was first recorded by Bing Crosby in 1943.� The song resonated deeply with American GIs, many who were stationed overseas fighting in World War II. � The song also resonated with their loved ones back home too.� The lyrics tell of a soldier, writing a letter to his family, stating how he'll be home for the Christmas season, to please have snow, mistletoe, presents under the tree, but by the song's end, it is obvious that the soldier will be unable to be home for Christmas, so he will have to content himself with fond memories of past Christmases in his dreams.
Last Christmas, our son in the Corps was able to be home for Christmas.� It seemed like a minor miracle how he got to come home.� He serves in Japan at a Marine Air Station, and in July of 2011, he put in a request for leave for the enitre month of December.�� Fortunately his request went through and in early December he flew to St. Louis.� His first stop was taking a train to� Hiroshima's airport, then he flew to Tokyo, then� to Los Angeles, then Chicago, and finally to St. Louis. � I discovered a fun online site called Flight Tracker, and was able to know when his plane was over the Pacific, over the North American continent, over the US, etc.� Christmas 2011 was wonderful for our son as he visited with us in Rolla, his good friends in the St. Louis area, and then on to Ohio to visit all of the grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. � He was due to fly back to Japan at the end of December, but his pesky appendix had another plan, and due to emergency surgery, he was able to stay with us for another week.
His father and I, as well as his younger brothers and sisters all feel very relieved that his duty station has been� in Japan for most of his 4 years in the Marines.� We are quite aware that many serving in the military don't get stationed in a country that is relatively up to date with technology, relatively out of harm's way as far as world situations and hot spots go.� Christmas 2013, he'll be at his new station, it will be stateside, and hopefully we'll be able to spend some of the holiday with him.
As this Christmas season of 2012 is winding down, please remember those who are willingly serving our country with their time, their energy, their all.� Whether they are in a dangerous zone in the world or not, they deserve our thanks and our prayers, and not just at Christmas, but all year long.

OAKLAND -- The Warriors would have two All-Star game selections for the first time in 21 years if David Lee were to get the nod as a reserve from Western Conference head coaches.
All-Star starter Stephen Curry endorsed Lee for what would be a second straight selection for the ninth-year man who had 17 points and 12 rebounds in a 103-88 win against Portland on Sunday. Lee also helped limit Trail Blazers leading scorer LaMarcus Aldridge to a season-low 10 points on 2-for-14 shooting.
Lee was effective after again receiving an anti-inflammatory shot before the game to ease the discomfort in his sprained left shoulder. He has started every game this season, averaging 19.2 points and 9.9 rebounds while extending his streak of scoring in double figures to 121 games.
"I'd really like to make it," Lee said Monday on the eve of the Warriors' home game against the Washington Wizards. "You work hard to help your team win games, so you hope when the coaches vote that they vote for guys that are on winning teams.
"It's not going to be a big disappointment if I don't make it because I have much bigger goals for the season than anything individual."
Lee finished 11th in the Western Conference frontcourt fan balloting that resulted in Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant, the Los Angeles Clippers' Blake Griffin and Minnesota's Kevin Love being named starters. Lee still could grab one of seven remaining West roster spots after a standout game against a fellow All-Star hopeful in Aldridge.
Other Western Conference frontcourt candidates include host city New Orleans' Anthony Davis, Houston's Dwight Howard and Dallas' Dirk Nowitzki. Warriors coach Mark Jackson called it a "loaded position" for All-Star selections but said Lee belonged in the All-Star game after having watched him play through the shoulder issue.
"He stepped up to the challenge against a guy that's in the MVP discussion and having an incredible year," Jackson said of Lee's facing Aldridge.
"You've got to tell your body 'not now' and find a way to get it done, and he has."
Lee, who injured the shoulder a week ago, said, "It was tough getting through it, but I'll be ready to go next game again."
Lee's selection during the NBA's nationally televised announcement Thursday would give the Warriors two All-Stars for the first time since Tim Hardaway and Chris Mullin represented the team in 1993, with Mullin unable to play because of injury.
Lee was named to the All-Star team in 2010 as an injury replacement while playing for the New York Knicks. He recalled being snubbed initially because the Knicks were on their way to a losing season.
"Hopefully it'll work in my favor in the other direction," Lee said.
"If he can score 38 points every night wearing those shoes, I hope they make him a new pair every game," Lee said of the shoes, of which teammate Kent Bazemore wore the same style.
Curry scored 33 points against Minnesota on Friday and now scored at least 30 points in consecutive games six times in his career.

Declared Monuments in Hong Kong - Hong Kong Island
Western Market consisted originally of two separate blocks. The South Block at Queen's Road Central was built in 1858 and demolished in 1980. The remaining North Block, smaller and more compact in design, was built in 1906. It is in Edwardian style highlighted with "bandaged" brickwork on the four corner towers.
When the former Urban Council's market facilities came into operation in 1989, the market building became vacant and was later converted into a traditional trades, arts and crafts centre. It is now managed by the Urban Renewal Authority.

Taking the Black Magic Out Of Oracle Database Recovery
By AndyBaker on Jan 30, 2013
One of the biggest issues seen today with an Oracle database recovery is human error. More damage is done by administrators executing commands without a true understanding or an appreciation of the real condition of the existing Oracle database. Since the release of 11g it is interesting to question, how many administrators are actually using the RMAN recovery advisor which is now a tool built into the database?
The aim of this attached paper is to show that database recovery is not black magic. If a deep breath is taken at the point of failure and time is taken to properly diagnose the real condition of the database, whilst forming a firm action plan from what is available, and then the recovery becomes a simple straight forward process. That is providing any required backups are actually available of course!
Experience has shown that the main issue at the time of any fault is an administrator that jumps straight to the recovery phase with little or no analysis of the actual situation, potentially causing a bad situation to suddenly become worse.
The views expressed on this blog are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Oracle. Please download the full paper for a detailed discussion as well as some recovery tricks you may not have come across.

Tories vote down surveillance bill changes
By Jim Bronskill, The Canadian Press
OTTAWA - The Conservatives have defeated several proposals from opposition MPs to temper federal cyberbullying legislation — a bill many critics say would make it too easy for police, spies and others to monitor the public's online activities.
The legislation would make it illegal to distribute intimate images without consent and remove barriers to getting such pictures scrubbed from the Internet.
However, it also overhauls the existing system of production and preservation orders and warrants, and would give authorities new tools to track and trace telecommunications to determine their origin or destination.
At the Commons justice committee, opposition MPs put forward a raft of amendments to raise the hurdles authorities would have to clear before getting access to the data of Internet users, as well as build more accountability into the new system.
Opposition members argued the bill unduly lowers the threshold for obtaining some personal information, unnecessarily broadens immunity to companies that hand over information and lacks a requirement that agencies report on their use of the new powers.
The Conservative majority on the committee ensured the defeat of almost all of their proposed amendments.
The bill contains new powers under which sensitive information would become accessible to authorities based on a "reasonable suspicion" of wrongdoing, a standard lower than the constitutional default of "reasonable and probable grounds" to believe an offence has taken place.
Green Party Leader Elizabeth May was among those who unsuccessfully tried to amend those provisions.
The bill would give far too much licence to authorities, she said in an interview.
"It basically means you could go on a witch hunt after absolutely anybody without anything that would meet the 'reasonable grounds' test of previous criminal law."
Companies such as Internet service providers can currently provide personal information to government agencies — even when investigators lack a warrant or other judicial approval — without fear of being held liable.
However, the cyberbullying bill would remove the requirement that a criminal offence or a breach of another federal law be under investigation in such cases. The privacy commissioner has warned that would give police complete discretion to ask companies to voluntarily hand over customer data in any circumstances.
During clause-by-clause review, Liberal MP Sean Casey said no company that testified before the committee asked for the immunity power.
"Those who hold the records, those who are being given the immunity, those who are being shielded from class-action lawsuits and criminal liability have not asked for this," he said. "Not one."
In denying government support to strike the provision from the bill, Conservative MP Bob Dechert said several victims' advocates supported the immunity measure.
The NDP also made several attempts to modify the bill, including a requirement that telecommunications providers who voluntarily preserve data — or provide authorities with documents — to submit an annual report to the government specifying the number of requests made, the volume of data preserved and the number of documents disclosed.
Dechert said the measure would put "a disproportionate reporting burden" on the telecommunications sector, noting others such as banks and transportation companies would not have the same obligation.
New Democrat MP Eve Peclet said the public safety minister should be required to report to Parliament on the various powers exercised under the bill.
"We must be able to know what happens to our personal information."
The Conservatives rejected the suggestion, saying the volume of orders — for instance, for the preservation of data — would make the reporting "administratively impractical."

The CE guys came through with my battery power supply, so I have been walking around with my M1.
I am Borg. =D
I showed it to some CS teachers waiting outside the department. Everyone was, like, "Oh my God. This is sooo cool."
People walk up to me and ask me what it is. I show them the display. They think it's cool.
I like being able to read my mail or check my messages. I like being able to read my history notes or dash off a quick note. I like this.
No accidents yet. Good thing. I don't read while crossing the street, and I can pay attention to the real world well enoguh.
I've also freaked out some of my students. I asked for someone's ID number, pulled up my records, and started rattling off full name, contact info, project submissions...
Life is good.

In addition, the 2 people that "disagree" with giving kudos to somebody who worked hard to make a good thing happen are turds. What is wrong with people? Just be happy once in a while!

Examples of discrete in a sentence
The idea is to disconnect the memory from the reactions to the memory, so that although the memory of the traumatic event remains, the everyday things that can trigger fear and panic, such as trash blowing across the interstate or a car backfiring … are restored to insignificance. The trauma thus becomes a discrete event, not a constant, self-replicating, encompassing condition. —Sue Halpern, New Yorker, 19 May 2008
Eliminating stress entirely is not an option. If there are discrete sources of stress in your life—a relationship, a job, a health problem—you can and should take action to try to mitigate them. But my experience is that we all are subject to a kind of conservation law of stress. If stress recedes in one area, it seems to increase in another. —Time, 17 Oct. 2005
The newer, digital phones broadcast their communications in discrete bursts of energy, whereas analog devices employ continuous signals. —Janet Raloff, Science News, 12 Feb. 2000

Investors still plowing into bonds amid stock rally
NEW YORK -- Even as stocks reach new record highs, investors continue to pour into bonds. Some on Wall Street have speculated investors would embark upon a "great rotation," pulling their money out of bonds and putting them into stocks as interest rates rise and the economy improves.
Rick Rieder, chief investment officer of fixed-income at investment giant BlackRock Inc., believes investors will instead draw from their "tremendous amount" of sidelined cash to invest in stocks.

Show LastNight In Tempe
I was at the Sage show last night In Tempe, Az
I was suprised Sage was hawkin his own stuff
at the booth with cd's and shirts
I got his known Unsoldier CD
I had him sign it as "your a wack muthafucka"
Sage was real friendly I was suprised by that
I guess he has to be when he is juicing people
for there ducketts at the shows but it did
seem geniune
No roadies, no dj, no hypeman no nothing
I take him to be like a nomad traveling the countryside
alone in the same clothes for days stopping in each major
city to put on a show then on to the next one...
The show was on point he has good energy
and good breath control for a live show epecially
with no hype man he didnt seem to get too fatigued
he did a few songs with some girl from the crowd
hugging on him and they danced as well she wouldnt leave
the stage though and sage finally directed her to the floor
there was a guy who looked like he had some health problems
either cancer or leukimia or something and Sage let em go on stage
and chill on the side which was very cool
he did alot of my favorite songs
He started off the show with the intro to Ice-T's Iceberg: Freedom of Speech
Just Watch What You Say Album (his 3rd album)
he did Makeshift Patriot as the 1st main song
he did a fierce spoke word joint that was hot nothing about it was pedantic
he did Climb Trees which the crowd was really feeling
though he didnt do the chorus sumbitch!
he did Rewrite but didnt say bitch when that part came up
he did 2 verses of the Emperor's new Clothing I had only heard 1 verse on that song..overall the show was very good fast paced with not alot of dicking around or lame crowd participation crap like this side is louder than that side stuff.. everybody say ho everybody scream that stuff is lame
Sage seems to be light on his fight and showed several jazzy dance moves he may have a future as a ballet dancer
It was alot of entertainment for 12 bucks

Arsenal Message Board
Please get rid of Ramsey
A very good Arsenal performance was ruined by a desperate performance by Ramsey. He gives the ball away incessantly. Please put him out of his misery and send him to a more appropriate lower levelSort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

He played a pivotal role in the first goal did he not?
That said, he had me pulling my hair out the rest of the game. I can't recall an Arsenal side passing so poorly, time after time. Better second half.

I agree, he always gives the ball away. I've always wondered why he's on the team, let alone on the pitch. Makes me think he works magic at London Colney.

ObamaCare Rollout Hits Another Big Bump
(NEWSER) – The first year of the Affordable Care Act may not be too affordable for some. The New York Timesreports that another key part of ObamaCare—this time, a cap on out-of-pocket expenses for patients—will be delayed by a year. The law was supposed to guarantee that individuals would not have to pay more than $6,350 and families more than $12,700, but insurers argued successfully that they needed more time to comply. The reason? They say they haven't had enough time to get their computers in sync on the issue.

Katherine A. Kramer, 93, of state Route 5S, Mohawk, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2013, at Valley Health Services, Herkimer.
Katie was born on July 3, 1920, the daughter of the late Peter and Christina (Styranich) Bayzon in Frankfort Hill. Raised and educated locally, she was a graduate of Van Hornsville High School. She grew up on the family farm in the Squawk area of Van Hornsville, and in 1938 graduated from Van Hornsville Central School. On Oct. 14, 1950, she married Joseph Kramer, of Little Falls, at St. Marys Parish, Little Falls. The couple built their home on Route 5S in the Jacksonburg area of Mohawk. Joey passed away on July 19, 2010.
Katie was last employed at Salada Tea in Little Falls, retiring to become caretaker of her father, Peter. She was able to enjoy many school reunions with her classmates from Van Hornsville and reunions with friends and co-workers from Salada Tea. Both gatherings she treasured.
She is survived by nieces, Barbara Duesler, of St. Johnsville, Carole Park, of Connecticut, and Katherine Park, of Rochester; nephews, Charles Witkowski, Jr., of Sprakers, Ronald Bayzon, of Richfield Springs, Rodney Whalen, of South Carolina, and Patrick Whalen, of Ilion.

Katherine was predeceased by her sisters, Helen Whalen, Mary Park and Rose Witkowski; her brothers, John and Stanley Bayzon, and a nephew, David Whalen.
Many thanks to the staff of Valley Health Services for the kindness shown to our aunt during her time spent there.

BERKELEY -- Richard Rodgers said goodbye to Red Vines and hello to a new position.
"I told him you will not play a down if you don't (lose weight) because you're slow and fat and out of shape and you can't play," Cal offensive coordinator Tony Franklin said of Rodgers. "He wants to play."
So Rodgers, who played tight end for the Bears last season, dropped 33 pounds to find a home in an offense that doesn't typically feature his position.
After ballooning to 278 in the offseason while recovering from shoulder and foot injuries, Rodgers cut out his biggest dietary vice. "I have a big sweet tooth. I like Red Vines a lot," he said. "That was my problem."
Now healthy and trim at 6-foot-4, 245 pounds, the junior is competing for playing time at one of the two inside slot positions in Cal's four-receiver alignment.
"He's a natural," Franklin said. "He's born to be that -- the new prototype that you see in the NFL now."
Touted by former coach Jeff Tedford as potentially one of the nation's elite tight ends, Rodgers said he wasn't worried to discover new coach Sonny Dykes' Bear Raid offense doesn't include the position.
"I played receiver in high school," he said.
Dykes said the Bears have big plans for Rodgers.
"We're playing around with Rodgers a little bit, maybe let him carry the ball some in short-yardage situations," Dykes said. "He's had a good camp and he's a big, strong guy, so we're trying to figure out ways to get him the ball."
Newly installed starting quarterback Jared Goff was 12 for 19 for 113 yards with two touchdowns and an interception -- his first of fall camp. Zach Kline was 14 for 17 for 156 yards and one TD. Junior running back Brendan Bigelow, coming off a knee injury that kept him out of spring ball, rushed five times for 51 yards.
Scarlett broke the hand twice last season, then developed an infection that was bad enough he needed surgery to clean it out. "My horror story," Scarlett calls it.
The complications finally were gone by late April, but neither his doctors nor coaches are taking any chances. He still is not cleared to participate in contact drills.

The Simplest Way to Make Over Your Diet
Want to drop a few pounds this year? Start brown-bagging your lunch. We talked to top docs and dietitians to get the healthiest meals you can put together -- fast
While it might be tempting to throw out every last potato chip and Hershey's Kiss in a new year cleansing ritual, you know by now that deprivation usually leads to late-night ice cream or burger runs (where way more calories are consumed than if you'd just let yourself have the freakin' Kiss).
Most experts say the best way to get healthier is to start slow and keep the junk food in moderation. And the easiest way to get your healthy diet started: Make over your lunch.
Click here to see lunch makeovers.
Breakfast is tricky -- you're still half asleep and certainly not up to calculating the calories in your cereal and coffee. And by the time dinner rolls around you just need to eat, and a salad probably isn't going to cut it. But lunch is different. You can make it in advance and take a little time the night before to put together a healthy meal that'll keep you satisfied -- and also help you reach your health goals. And once you're used to making healthy lunches every day, it'll be easier to move onto the other meals and snacks -- and who knows, maybe even kick that Hershey's habit for good.
To help get you started, we looked at five women's normal lunches, then had Kimberly Snyder, nutritionist to celebrities like Drew Barrymore and Fergie, weigh in on how to make them over into good-for-you meals. Check them out to get ideas for your own brown bag makeover.

This was insightful although I feel like the "tweak" for each person's lunch was to eat a salad. Although it is the best option, it is unrealistic to assume that someone eating a breakfast burrito is going to pack a salad. That is a a major change, not just a tweak. I do like the point though that we should stick to one type of protein and focus on foods that are easy to digest. This will not only help our skin, but will also make us less sluggish at work.

tough changes to make.

I just can't keep junk food in the house. Fresh fruit is best for me to have around.
by beautybody Thursday, March 29, 2012 at 11:03AM Report as inappropriate
These suggestions may be nutritious, but it seems unlikely that someone who likes eating mac and cheese or burritos for lunch is going to drop them cold turkey in favor of a salad. Recommending smaller, easier-to-adopt nutrition changes like ADDING a side salad to any of theset and substituting 100% whole grain breads for the sandwiches) would be more helpful because they're easy changes that people are more likely to adopt on a long-term basis.

There's not much new here, but still good to be reminded.
by krycekov Wednesday, January 4, 2012 at 08:31AM Report as inappropriate
Interesting changes. I guess its just all about avoidance, and knowing when to have things in small portions (like soda and processed foods). I've noticed that people who diet for a certain amount of time instead of changing their eating habits in general never lose weight or gain whatever they lost back. Maybe can help put them on the right track.

I really think I have the worst diet ever. But these are small, simple ways to work at eating healthier.

Colosseum Nightscape, Rome, Italy
Photograph by Winfield I. Parks, Jr., National Geographic
May 30, 2001
Memory-haunted arena of the ancients, Rome's 1,900-year-old Colosseum saw bloody gladiatorial duels, battles with wild beasts, and mock naval engagements on its flooded floor. Christians banned the spectacles, and in later centuries presented church dramas here. Time, earthquakes, and stone scavengers took their toll. Still, the treasured monument survived and again serves Rome—as a traffic circle. Cars at evening rush hour create streaks of light in this time exposure, which also captures horse-drawn carriages waiting at curbside for tourists.

Hi, I am Danny Batson (Knouse) and I am a lifelong resident of the Chillicothe area. I was born in 1951 and graduated from CHS in 1969. I took over my dad's septic tank business that he founded in 1937. While I have been in every state (except Hawaii and Maine), there is no place like home! I love taking pictures of old and unusual things and sharing them. There is beauty in everything, if we look for it. I have three Facebook pages filled with local pictures that may be of interest: "Where Has Danny Been," Chillicothe Now," and "Danny Batson".
Hi, I am Gary Thomas and I was born just across from Central School in 1942. I graduated from CHS in 1960 and MU in 1964. After two years in Army, I completed a graduate degree at the University of Chicago in 1970. After working in software development for more than 40 years, I retired from Raytheon in 2007. I have an abiding interest in history and in researching past events, places, and people. My latest project is developing a history-based chronology for Livingston County from 1801-2000.
Every November in our part of the state of Missouri… the hills are alive with the sound of … gunshots! It's deer season. As a young boy my dad taught me how to hunt deer. We put a lot of venison on the table throughout winter; it was a rite of passage to manhood, or so it seemed to me.
Every year we would prepare a month in advance so we would be ready for that first (always cold) morning of deer season. We woke up long before sunrise and found our way in the dark to a stand; where we would sit in silence until deer passed nearby. My problem was sitting completely still after the sun came up. I roamed the woods looking for tracks, Dad called me his tracker. I have happened upon many a deer in my lifetime. Most of the time we would scare each other and the deer would take off before I could shoot.
One day I was walking along a crooked path in tall willows when… there I was face to face with a big doe! We had looked up at each other at the same time and we both froze. My gun was at my side pointing down. We stared at each other knowing that at the slightest movement, it would be over. It's the last day of the season and I really wanted this doe. So I'm thinking about how I'm I going to get my gun in place. I stood there for twenty minutes in that trail with that doe and she never moved her eyes off me so I could move my gun. I finally gave in and said "Go on, get out of here" and she turned and ran off the same way she came.
But that's not the deer hunting story I wanted to tell you about this time. It's about Human Dogs.
After the morning hunt, Dad and friends would drive around looking for other promising places to hunt. They would look for timber-lined creeks or small timbers. We found a good tree line to run up in Amish Country where we knew the farmers and decided to try it out. My cousin Mike and I were the young, designated Human Dogs; in that were to run the deer out of the timber and directly into the line of fire. The timber was about one mile long so they dropped us off at the start of the trees and told us to wait for fifteen minutes and start driving the woods and scare any deer about toward them.
Now my cousin Mike was older than I and had done this before. We started walking through the woods about fifty feet away from each other. We had gotten almost to the end of the trees when I saw six deer lying at the edge of the woods near me. I signaled Mike and put up six fingers.
As he reached me I whispered to him that we should scare them out by yelling because we don't know exactly where the four men were in front of us. My concern was that if we shoot at them ourselves that we may hit someone. This turned out to not be a concern of the four adults.
Also, we did not know that on the other side of that open field were four more Amish men. We decided to shoot in the air and yell to scare the deer…and then we waited… about one minute and later the woods were singing with high powered rifle bullets. We heard them flying by us and we hit the ground with face down.
I felt like I needed to dig a hole… l couldn't get low enough… I heard many bullets zip by… just inches above my head. After about forty shots there was a pause and so we rose up… only to hit the dirt again… they had reloaded and started shooting once again! When it was finally all over we walked out of the woods to find a lot of excited people and they told us their version of this tale.
All said and done, we somehow survived without a scratch and no deer… for anyone. The deer were so scared with all the hunters and noise that they had moved and jumped way too fast for anyone to hit them.
I almost cried… I told them I would never be a Human Dog again for anyone. Should someone ask you to be their Human Dog; you tell them to go jump in a lake!
Hunter safety is a must, NEVER hunt with fools.

Tuition & Financial Aid:
Help for Non-Traditional Students – I had a good experience and the financial aid advisor was super helpful - the only downfall is that there was a "gap" with my financial aid and there were no other grants or scholarships available to cover that gap. we are in a financial crunch and can not even afford payments on this small amount owed - so i believe there should be more help for individuals who are not "traditional" students - yet are not poverty stricten or single parents.

Knitter's Review
November 29, 2012
People either love their interchangeable needle sets or they don't really see the point. (Pardon the pun.) For those of you who do enjoy being able to swap needle tips and cords to your heart's content, I have two sets for you to consider this week.
They're both made in China and sold under the ChiaoGoo label. One has bamboo tips and a clear cord, the other stainless steel and a red cord. Both come in slim fabric cases with colorful stitch markers thrown in for good measure.

Around the minute mark Dave talks about the elbow being ahead of the shoulder, then accelerating through the throw. I never really thought about it before, but this makes alot of sense.
I've been working on this for a couple weeks now and I'm starting to see some positive results. Keeping the elbow bent and in front of the shoulder all the time is an easy way to make this happen. If my timing is good, I can then go ahead and reach back and pull the elbow ahead of the shoulder and accelerate through.
Any time I "saw off" a drive, it's usually because I start turning the shoulder before the elbow has a chance to get out in front.
Combining this with a better grip, and I'm seeing alot of easy distance. Minimal effort/run up with very consistent results.

Welcome to the holiday badlands, the barren calendar-scape of nonstop, work-a-day weeks and stark chilly nights with no fanciful decorations, no caroling and no joy to the world as far as the eye can see.
Yes, I'm grumpy because there aren't any major breaks for months to come except for Martin Luther King Day, which is a great day and all, but you're supposed to celebrate it by doing stuff like rummaging through shoreline slime to pluck out discarded Cheetos bags and old batteries that seep caustic bubbles of potassium hydroxide, which, you have to admit, is less than festive. Can I at least have a nice cup of cocoa and marshmallows while I'm doing it?
It's definitely rough coming off the trifecta of popular, big-name, life-affirming holidays -- a fourfecta if you count Halloween, and I do, although it's more death-affirming, but in the most delightful way. And now we're now in that weird stage where most of us are back to work, though not all. Some are still meandering around in eggnog-induced comas, trying their darnedest to spend the Williams-Sonoma gift cards they got in their stockings, but finding this to be a challenge because most humans don't actually need herb snips, specialty banana slicers or $89 wheatgrass juicers.
Others still cling to the warmth and charm of the now-past sentimental season. A friend told me she was listening to Christmas music on Dec. 27 but was chastised by her family. "So it's OK to listen to Christmas music for weeks and weeks before but not two days after? That's quite a double standard," she noted.
Bursting the bubble
Indeed, even as the giant inflatable snowman on the lawn down the street from my house continues to rise up each night -- his mouth expanding into an eerie but festive smile not unlike that of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man -- he is bedeviled by the barrage of Valentine merchandise that hit the shelves at CVS long before the holiday ham went cold, not to mention all the boxes of Christmas cards and "Sock Monkey Rescue Kits" at Barnes & Noble now piled up in the 50-percent-off bin over by the escalator, discarded like so many bubbling batteries in the sand.
Can't there be a better transition from the holiday bubble and its suspended animation of merriment back to the harsh reality of everyday life? Maybe some sort of colorful, in-between decorations? Maybe pink? Or yellow with green polka dots? Otherwise it's a soul-sucking shock to the system, like getting stuck on the Peter Pan ride at Disneyland and having the emergency lights come on and everybody's helped down from their magical flying pirate ships on step ladders, going from a starry night over Neverland to a world of wires, overhead tracks and shattered childhood dreams ... not that such a thing could really happen.
Good old days
For me, this time of year brings memories of other childhood trauma, when the beginning of a new year didn't mean fresh starts and organized closets, but the end of two glorious weeks of freedom and the onset of excruciating months of homework. We had no MLK Day then, and of course no day off for Valentine's Day, just an embarrassment of riches for the popular kids and sad, empty, heart-shaped, construction-paper boxes for everyone else. And I don't think we had time off for Washington's or Lincoln's birthdays, either. It wasn't the combined Presidents Day like it is now, celebrated with a three-day weekend and spectacular mattress sales.
No, back then winter meant embarking on a long and perilous road, like the one the humble hobbit took heading through the Mirkwood to the Lonely Mountain. Sure, there's gold to be had at the end (summer vacation) and maybe a refreshing stop along the way in Rivendell (spring break, nee Easter vacation), but in the meantime it's all about rough terrain, bad lunches and endless encounters with mean-tempered goblins (evil Mrs. Snodgrass in third-period science class).
I know, I know; I should let go. That's long past. It is a new year after all, fresh and bright and shiny and, if I want it to be, every day can be a holiday. For instance, according to HolidayInsights.com, Jan. 10 is Houseplant Appreciation Day. My ficus will thank me. And Jan. 25 is Opposite Day (Yes it is! No it's not!). I'm not sure how to celebrate that one. I might try being the opposite of grumpy. But there are no guarantees.
