An afternoon delight was on the menu when my friend stopped by. I sucked his rock hard cock and then he returned the favor by licking my tight wet pussy and sucking on my swollen clit. I rode his dick reverse cowgirl style and then he fucked me from behind. He finished off by shooting his load all over my lips and in my mouth. …YUMMY!
One of the reasons I moved to Arizona was for the weather. I can play by the pool in my bikini all year long. This afternoon I was so horny and needed some cock. I invited my friend to join me for a poolside play date. He licked my pussy and then I sucked his big cock. He finished me off with a good hard fucking.
My cable was acting up again, so I made an appt for the cable guy to fix it. He not only fixed my cable he also fixed me up by licking and sucking my wet pussy and then gave me a good hard fucking. I finished him off by sucking his throbbing cock until he came all over me and my furniture. I licked it all up like a good girl should ; )
Sometimes you just gotta go BIG! That's what I did with this outfit. Gold sequin booty shorts, black silk shirt and tall leather boots. It reminds me of the sexy disco era. It was a lot of fun to put it on and of course take it off! I really got off using my toy. I imagine you all watching me as I take it deep inside myself. Such a turn on!
I am a huge lover of leg warmers, they are just cute, sexy, fun and they look great on my long toned legs. I decided to put a pair on and start playing with my wet swollen pussy. That made me so horny I had to pull out my glass toy.I hope you guys really get off watching me fuck myself and cumming all over the couch.
It was a hot day in L.A., perfect for some glass toy masturbating. I stripped off my cute white panties and started sucking my toy like a nice hard cock. I slipped that smooth wet glass into my tight little pussy and fucked myself until I came. The feeling of being outside was incredibly erotic. I got off so good!
I am a self proclaimed "gym rat"! I love hitting the weights and watching my muscles grow. Being healthy and fit is very important to me and I hope you guys enjoy seeing me show off all my hard work. I've had so many requests for me to "flex" and "pose". I finally decided to do it : ) Of course I had to get naked too...hehe! xoxo

Data Driven Personas
By Jennifer (Jen) McGinn on Apr 17, 2008
A week ago, I was in Florence Italy, giving a talk on a paper that a colleague and I wrote. The paper was a CHI Note, which described a new way to create "personas": fictional characters who represent user groups who will use the products that we develop. It's a lot like creating user profiles, but personas have names, photos, and other details added to them, so that designers and developers can meet the needs of, say, "Sarah" rather than a nameless, faceless "system administrator".
The process for creating personas has been around for about ten years, and usually starts by brainstorming user characteristics. Ideally, the details of the personas are drawn from facts that have been gathered through user contact. Sometimes, once the personas have been created, they are then validated, by conducting a survey or focus groups or by communicating with representative users in some way. Unfortunately, there are several drawbacks to the traditional method, usually revolving around trust in the accuracy of the personas and acceptance by the team that is supposed to use them. But it's a numbers game, too: if you interview 10 or 15 or 20 users, how can you ensure that they are truly representative of the larger population?
My partner in this paper, Nalini Kotamraju, is a user researcher at Sun, and it was she who initially proposed that we turn the traditional method around: rather than interview users first, and then validate the personas through a survey, why not conduct the survey first, and then interview them? Brilliant! Not only would the personas be an artifact of the data, but we'd have statistically significant numbers of users to base them on! Then, when we conducted the user interviews to add details to the personas, they would be "the right" (read that as "representative") 20 or 30 users, because we'd have done the stats first.
Our new persona creation process went well, but there were some surprises along the way... perfect for a paper submission :) Fast forward a little more than a year, and there I was in lovely Firenze, sharing our work with a receptive group. My favorite part was at the end, after the talk was over, when I was able to share more in-depth details with friends and colleagues. I even got a question and compliment from John Pruitt! But there were a lot of friends and colleagues who weren't there, so if you're one of them, I'll be giving another talk in May :)
Jen McGinn is an interaction designer in xDesign who is working to improve the user experience with software registration and Solaris system administration. She has an MS in Human Factors in Information Design and works out of Sun's campus in Massachusetts.

VALDOSTA, Ga. – Valdosta State ran for 266 yards as the No. 10 Blazers defeated West Georgia 31-13 in Gulf South Conference football action at Bazemore-Hyder Stadium Saturday afternoon.
The 266 yards marked the 10th-highest rushing total in VSU school history. Meanwhile, the Blazers passed for just 37 yards for a total of 303 yards in the contest. The win assured Valdosta State of at least a share of the GSC title, VSU's first since winning the title outright in 2004.
West Georgia (3-6, 2-5) opened the scoring in the first quarter as it intercepted a Brett Whitmire pass on its own 43 yards line on the first drive of the game. The Wolves moved the ball into the red zone before the Blazer defense forced a 22-yard field goal by Davis Brackett.
The score remained at 3-0 until late in the second quarter when VSU scored on a Seantavious Jones touchdown reception. After a Harrison Dreiling interception gave the Blazers the ball on their own six yard line, the Blazers took to the ground to methodically move down the field. The first seven plays of the drive were all runs and netted 52 yards, plus a 15-yard penalty for a face mask. After a pass gained three yards, four more runs netted an additional 19 to move the ball to the UWG 5. Facing a third and goal, Brett Whitmire threw a jump ball to Jones, who snagged the ball and was able to stay inbounds for a 7-3 Valdosta State halftime lead.
After allowing 108 total yards in the first half, the VSU defense stiffened in the second half as it allowed just 31 total yards while scoring a pair of touchdowns through the first 25 minutes of the final two periods. Eighteen of the yards came on the first West Georgia drive of the half as VSU attempted an on-side kick that was recovered by the Wolves on the Blazer 39. Seven plays later, UWG attempted a 38 yard field goal by Brackett, but Kier Moore burst through the middle of the line to block the attempt.
Valdosta State took advantage of the block to add a field goal of its own to its lead as, after gaining 45 yards on the ground, Daniel Andersen connected from 45 yards out for a 10-7 VSU advantage.
A kickoff into the end zone on the ensuing kick was returned to the UWG 15 and West Georgia failed to gain any yardage on the ensuing drive. A short kick gave Valdosta State the ball on the UWG 46. The Blazers again took to the ground as it used six straight carries by six different players to push its edge to 17-3 on a four-yard run by Stevie Harden with 3:55 remaining in the third quarter.
After the two teams exchanged punts on subsequent drives, Larry Dean added to the Valdosta State advantage as he picked off a pass and returned it six yards for a Blazer score while two Wolf drives later Harden again found the end zone as he recorded his eighth interception of the year, just one shy of the VSU single season record, and returned it 46 yards for his school-record fourth interception return for a score this year.
West Georgia closed out the scoring with a 45-yard field goal and a three-yard scoring run by Brandon Behenna.
Senior Ronnye Nelson, playing in his final regular season home game for Valdosta State, recorded his first career 100-yard rushing game as he carried the ball 14 times for 105 yards. He also caught two passes for a team-best 19 yards, returned three punts for 30 yards and one kick-off for 30 more yards. David Arnold added 72 rushing yards on seven carries while also catching two passes.
Dreiling led the Valdosta State defense with a game-high 13 tackles while also registering two interceptions and a pass broken up.
West Georgia finished the game with 241 total yards of offense, including 122 rushing and 119 through the air. Joe Weatherford gained a team-best 40 yards on the ground while also completing 8-of-17 passes for 32 yards. Jarmaine Johnson registered eight tackles and a fumble recovery to lead the UWG defense.
Valdosta State returns to action Thursday, November 11 when it closes out its 2010 regular season with a televised game at West Alabama. The Blazers enter the game, which is scheduled for an 8:00 p.m. Eastern kickoff, needing a win to claim the GSC championship outright.

SAN FRANCISCO -- One of the San Francisco Zoo's most beloved primates, known as the "matriarch" of the chimpanzees and a favorite of staff and visitors alike, died Sunday from heart disease related to breast cancer, zoo officials said.
Tallulah, an expressive-faced chimpanzee who was estimated to be in her mid- to late-50s, was a "funny, clever, confident trickster" who commanded respect from the zoo's other chimps, said Abbie Tuller, communications director for the San Francisco Zoo.
The playful primate, described as "exceptional" by her keepers, came to the zoo in 1967 after being raised privately as a pet, and was among the oldest chimpanzees in AZA-accredited zoos in the United States.
Having been a fixture at the zoo for 45 years, Tallulah inspired many stories that have become an integral part of the zoo's folklore, including the suggestion that her face served as the inspiration for Yoda in the "Star Wars" films. She also once reportedly found a shovel and posed as a replica of artist Grant Wood's "American Gothic," giving up her shovel only when offered a hamburger and a Pepsi.
Tallulah enjoyed flipping through recycled magazines, and liked to "people-watch" her many visitors as much as they enjoyed viewing her. Zoo visitors came to know her as "the chimpanzee with the blanket," and she was often seen snuggling up with the leopard-print fleece, sometimes wearing it as a sarong.
Tallulah's advancing years and declining health inspired the zoo to adopt new techniques to care for its geriatric animals, Tuller said. Extra steps and handrails were added to her climbing structures, and her indoor quarters were made more warm and comfortable. Her health problems also prompted zoo officials to address special dietary and health care needs of the older animals, driving them to forge new partnerships with UCSF cardiologists and veterinary oncologists.
Tallulah was beloved by the other three members of her chimpanzee troop, a tight-knit group that had been together since the 1960s, Tuller said. The other three members remain in good health at the popular San Francisco Zoo exhibit.

Crack growing in Blue Ridge Parkway
Published: Friday, July 19, 2013 at 7:38 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 19, 2013 at 7:38 a.m.
ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) — A crack that has closed a 20-mile stretch of the Blue Ridge Parkway in western North Carolina is getting worse.
Chief ranger Steve Stinnett said the crack has gotten wider since Tuesday. Stinnett says the northbound side of the parkway has dropped another couple of inches.
The parkway has been closed between milepost 375 north of Asheville to milepost 355 at Mount Mitchell State Park.
The crack was first noticed July 12.
A detour directs motorists from Asheville to Mount Mitchell using Interstate 40 and U.S. 221.
Stinnett says the crack originally was about 150 feet long and about 4 inches wide. He says it's now more than 200 feet long and about 6 inches wide.
The Federal Highway Administration is assessing the damage.

I think the snowy winter threw his hybernation pattern off. However, what I learned from the Ice Bowl is that this guy truely is a freak of nature.

I've worked extensively with trainers and endless hours of practice to perform at the level of GW, and he sees the sun for the first time in 3 months and crushes the field. Are you chucking kidding me?
He'll take the gaming contract, come out and play disc golf once a year and still drop the hammer on us.

Authorities said a man in the tiny Sierra Nevada community of Murphys shot and killed his two teenage children, then killed himself.
A spokesman for the Calaveras County Sheriff's Department said when friends of the two teens went to the family home Saturday and looked through the windows, they could see 54-year-old Phillip Marshall lying on the floor in a pool of blood.
Sheriff's Sgt. Chris Hewitt said when deputies arrived around 3 p.m. Saturday, they went inside the home and found Marshall's children-- 17-year-old Alex and 14-year-old Macaila -- dead of apparent gunshot wounds.
A preliminary examination showed that all three were shot once in the head with a handgun. Hewitt said the mother of the teens and estranged wife of Phillip Marshall was out of the country at the time.

7 Arm Exercises for Immediate Results
Arm workouts for women just got a lot more effective thanks to celebrity fitness guru David Kirsch
1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, your knees soft, and your core engaged. Punch across your body, 15 reps on each side.
2. For upper cuts, start with your arm bent in a 90 degree angle. Punch upwards across your chest for 15 reps on each side.
Add weights to pump up the intensity when you feel it's time.

After a year and a half of silence, the thunderous sounds of bowling balls and crashing pins can once again be heard at Pastime Lanes, the quirky upstairs bowling alley that has been a Marietta tradition for 75 years.
"It is just a shame that it has been sitting closed. We have gotten so many phone calls and inquiries," said Rick Coley, vice president and general manager of Promanco, which owns the building and reopened the lanes.
The building has undergone lots of modernization in recent years. Under the management of Vienna resident Russ Mercer, the alley was upgraded to an automatic score keeping system and saw the addition of gutter bumpers, laser lights and a stylish, new interior in 2005.
Article Photos
JASMINE ROGERS The Marietta Times
Manager Russ Mercer bowls at the newly reopened Pastime Lanes Thursday. The bowling alley, which has been a downtown Marietta fixture for around 75 years, closed in May 2011.
But the small, 7-lane bowling alley still retains all the charm that has made it a favorite, well, pastime, for so long, said Mercer, who was brought back on to manage the newly reopened lanes.
"This may be the only bowling alley in the area that still has an above ground ball return," said Mercer.
Most bowling alleys use an underground ball return. The above ground return is a classic bowling feature, and children are delighted and sometimes a little frightened by it, Mercer said.
Fact Box
History of Pastime Lanes
Mid-1930s: Walter "Pete" Schlicher, grandson of a German immigrant, opens the Pastime Bowling Alley in downtown Marietta.
1947: Tired of the first floor alley flooding, Pete Schlicher and his son, Robert Schlicher Sr., construct a new bowling alley at 211 Second St.
1967: During a fire, a nearby building topples into the lanes, destroying them.
1968: Robert Schlicher Sr. reconstructs the alley in its present building at 211 Second St.
1984: Robert Schlicher Jr. takes over the business.
1988: Pete Schlicher's eldest grandson, Dick Layman, takes over the Pastime Complex.
2000: After over 60 years of family operation, the complex is sold to Laura and Dave Rudie.
March 2004: Pastime Lanes closes.
May 2005: The complex was put up for auction as the result of a foreclosure, but was not sold.
July 2005: Previous owner/operator Robert Schlicher Jr., resumes control of the complex.
Sept. 2005: The Pastime Lanes reopen after an extensive renovation, including the automatic scoring system and the bright, re-styled interior.
July 2009: John and Pandy Pauley lease the bowling alley.
April 2010: Promanco purchases the building, and the Pauleys continue to operate the alley.
May 2011: The Pauley family does not renew their lease and the bowling alley closes. John Pauley died two months later, following an illness.
Nov. 2: Promanco reopens Pastime Lanes under the management of Russ Mercer, who previously managed the lanes under Robert Schlicher Jr.

"The kids love it, but sometimes they think it isn't going to stop," he mused.
Though it is small compared to some modern, 100-lane bowling alleys, Pastime Lanes is home to a lot of very big memories. Pastime Lanes first opened in the mid-1930's on Third Street in Marietta. But when the original owner got tired of the alley flooding, he moved it to its current, second floor location, said Mercer.
For some, Pastime Lanes was a first job. For others, it was much more. For Marietta resident Dick Clatterbuck, 73, it was both.
Clatterbuck began working at Pastime Lanes in 1954, at the age of 14. The job was the beginning of a lifelong love of bowling. But more importantly, it was also where he met the true love of his life, his wife Marge, he said.
"She bowled down there, too, in the league with her sister and some friends," said Clatterbuck.
Since Clatterbuck worked as a pinsetter, he had a definite advantage in getting her attention.
"I was still in the pit and she sent the ball down. Well I sent it right back up the alley. Not up the ball return, right down the alley," he said.
The surprising gesture must have worked. Clatterbuck and his wife have been married 51 years.
Those are the kind of memories Coley is hoping the alley will bring to a new generation.
"It's a really intimate, fun thing," he said.
The lanes officially opened Nov. 2, so Mercer could test the waters and ensure all the equipment was still in optimal condition.
Though no date is set for an official grand opening party, Mercer said he has already been hard at work creating bowling leagues and reaching out to local youth organizations such as the Boys and Girls Club. A Tuesday night league, which will begin Nov. 27, has already been formed. Two Thursday leagues are also in the works.
"I want to pack this place up," said Mercer.
There are no set hours yet for the business but Mercer said he is often there and people can come in to bowl.
After the official grand opening, hours will run 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Starting Monday, individuals interested in setting up parties, joining a league, or simply finding out more information will be able to reach the business at 374-7240.

The Seneca Lady Indians came out ready to play on Monday, but after sputtering a bit the Neosho Lady Wildcats would find their groove and came from behind to win the varsity volleyball tilt in three sets 12-25, 25-13, 25-19 at Seneca High School.
Neosho struggled mightily in the early going as Seneca jumped out to a commanding lead in the first game and never looked back. In the second set, however, the Lady Wildcats made a few adjustments.
"We did not play very well at all in the first game," Neosho coach Kerri Roy said. "In the second game we talked about having some kind of intensity and passion. We had to get the ball in the hands of Morgan (Rogers) a little more and Mallory Powell was all over the place, and they kind of fed off each other and did really well. It was a good win."
Rogers led the team with five blocks and 10 kills, while Powell had 16 digs and two aces. Kennedy Lyerla finished with 11 assists.
Molli Cooper led Seneca with nine assists and four digs. Rachel Butterfield also turned in nine assists and Maranda Sparks had nine kills.
"We came out really strong and then just kind of mentally didn't pull it together in the second set, had some breakdowns and stuff at the net," Lady Indians coach Cheryl Butterfield said.
Seneca won the B match 25-15, 25-19.
The Lady Wildcats improved to 4-7-1 overall. Seneca dropped to 2-5.
Neosho travels to take on McDonald County at 5 p.m. today. Seneca is at the Strafford Tournament on Saturday with games slated to begin at 9:30 a.m.

How to Kill Time
Whenever I have a lot to do, I do other things. This, of course, causes stress and anxiety and lateness and all sorts of other maladies, but it also leads to the discovery of things that I might not ever discover. I currently have an entire book to read before a class tomorrow, but am I reading it? No. Instead, I have been looking for fun stuff on the web, because that's why the web is there, isn't it? To provide me with fun stuff. Here, then, is what I have found by doing everything other than what I should be doing:

December 2, 2005
Only three days left until Augusta voters head to the polls to elect a new mayor. News 12 is on your side to show you how people at Paine College are rallying support to get students to vote.
You can spell it out in a cheer or shout it through a megaphone. Paine College faculty just wants students to recognize the importance of their vote.
"Voting is a hard earned right and it's a sacred responsibility," said Gloria Williams Way.
"We want your support, we want it now, and we want it on Election Day," said Charles Smith.
In a rally held on Friday, several candidates and civic leaders were on hand passing out flyers and encouraging all students to vote after low student turnout from the November 8th election.
"88 candidates out of 400 that are registered at Paine College voted. And so Paine College, we being steep in our heritage and political involvement, we realize we must become more involved," said Bernard Jackson.
Zebra Jefferson is the school's SGA President. She says many students from out of state are now registered to vote in Augusta, and says the possibility of the voter ID bill being passed has some students concerned.
"A lot of them don't have Georgia ID's, but they need to be able to vote, because they are affected by the politics that are going on in Augusta," Jefferson said.
And with moves like these combined with the messages of those older, the hope is that the student body will step to the polls.
"With students you have to keep on them and keep reminding them or they will forget. You get wrapped up in being a student and being in class, and you kind of forget that the outside world has a lot to do with your everyday life," Jefferson said.

DETROIT (AP) -- Lexus, Porsche and Lincoln are the best performers in an annual survey of vehicle dependability.
The J.D. Power and Associates survey -- released Wednesday -- measures problems experienced in the last year by owners of 3-year-old vehicles.
This year, owners reported an average of 126 problems per 100 vehicles from the 2010 model year. That was down 5 percent from 2012, and it's the lowest level of problems since this survey began in 1989.
Problems can include anything from engine failure to dashboard electronics glitches to excessive wind noise. J.D. Power questions 37,000 owners.
Toyota and Mercedes-Benz were also among the best performers. Jeep, Mitsubishi, Dodge and Land Rover got the worst rankings.
Ram saw the biggest gain in the rankings, while Toyota's youth-oriented Scion brand fell the furthest.

Southland Conference Tournament • Friday, Nov. 22 • 6:30 p.m. • Dugan Wellness Center • Corpus Christi, Texas
CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi volleyball team will host the Southland Conference Tournament this weekend for the first time in program history. The team will make its second consecutive appearance in the tournament and third overall on Friday when it takes on Sam Houston State at 6:30 p.m. in the Dugan Wellness Center. The Islanders hold a school-best 13-5 conference mark and are looking for its first tournament win in school history.
The Islanders (19-11, 13-5 SLC) and Bearkats (17-10, 14-4 SLC) meet for the third time this season. On Saturday, the Islanders cruised to a 3-0 (25-20, 25-17, 25-23) victory over Sam Houston State at the Dugan to wrap the regular season. Prior to that, the Islanders dropped a 3-0 loss in Huntsville, but went on to win seven straight matches. Texas A&M - Corpus Christi has won its last five out of six matches.
Last season, the Islanders fell in the opening round of the conference tournament to Oral Roberts 3-0 (25-20, 25-16, 25-18). Prior to that, the Islanders advanced to the Southland Conference tournament in 2006 and lost 3-1 to UT Arlington.
For the first time in program history, the Islanders had two players named First Team All-Southland Conference on Wednesday, with senior Logen Bourque and sophomore Ivy Baresh earning First Team All-Southland honors. Junior Brianna Brink earned honorable mention accolades for the second straight year.
Throughout her four years, Bourque has been a consistent leader for the Islanders' offense. Bourque, the Islanders' career assist leader with 4,420 assists is currently ranked 18th in the nation in assists and second in the conference (11.35 assists per set). The Houston native has passed out 1,214 assists this season, which ranks first in Islanders history for a single season. She also recently garnered sole possession of second place all-time in career digs with 1,074, and is currently ranked fourth with 74 career service aces.
As of Monday, Bourque and the Islanders were ranked 25th in the nation in digs (16.79) and 33rd in the nation in assists (13.05), which are both good for second place in the conference. Texas A&M - Corpus Christi sits in third place in the conference with 13.71 kills per set.
Baresh leads the Islanders with 3.42 kills per set, which is good for seventh place in the conference. She also leads the Islanders in digs with 3.63 per set, which ranks 11th in the conference, and she is 13th in the conference in service aces. This season, Baresh has collected 15 double-doubles and has been a consistent all-around player for the Islanders. Ashley Phelps is right behind Baresh on the team with 3.25 kills per set while Brink is averaging 3.10 kills per set (10th SLC).
Defensively, Hailey King, Shayla Maldonado and Baresh power the team. King is averaging 3.59 digs per set (13th SLC) with 352 digs on the year and Maldonado is averaging 4.44 digs per set in conference play, which ranks sixth in conference matches only.
The Bearkats are led by first team all-conference outside hitter Deveney Wells-Gibson with a league-leading 4.63 kills per set. Tayler Gray, also a first team all-conference honoree, runs the offense with 10.83 assists per set and Haley Neisler leads the team defensively with 1.13 blocks per set. Also helping the Bearkats defensively is Breanna Homer with 4.05 digs per set.
Friday's match will mark the 27th meeting between the two schools in program history. Sam Houston State holds the 19-7 series advantage. In the last meeting, Phelps powered the Islanders' offense with 12 kills and Brink tallied 11 kills. Bourque collected her 12th double-double of the season with 39 assists and 10 digs while Maldonado recorded 16 digs and King notched 12 digs to propel the defense.
The winner will advance to the semifinals on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. and will face the winner of the No. 1 Central Arkansas vs. No. 8 Stephen F. Austin match.
Friday's and Saturday's matches will be streamed live on the Southland Conference Digital Network, available HERE. Sunday's championship match will be carried on ESPN3 HERE.

I hear from alot of people about how Tom 4Th ward councilman always answers their phone calls back when they have a complaint and his answer is I'll have to research it and get back to you and he does. But thats where the problem starts and stops. Tom never calls back with any good news or real solutions to the problems. 90% of the time the problem goes unresolved and the 4th ward people just have to suffer through with it . I think it great to have a councilman you can call that answers and replies like Tom does but it would be better if he had at least sometime good news or a solution but never does. Why would you want to keep a councilman that just researches but never gets anything done for you ?

Inhabited by drunkards and racist hillbillies, it is advised to never enter unless you plan on hitting up a clan rally.

- " Seeing as though this hostel is about 10mins drive (& not in walking distance) from the city I would have thought there would be a bar and at least a decent menu. I understand there is a pub on the corner, which the staff continuously told me to go to, however when you have had a long day, it is raining outside, the last thing I wanted to do was head down to the pub to relax. It would have been nice to chill and have a couple of drinks at the hostel. Also you need a better/healthy menu. "

"He's always been a happy little guy; he's always had a great personality; he's always just been overly happy for everything he's gone through; he's just doing really good, but you can really tell that he needs the surgery; he's getting to the point where he's getting tired, and not just quite as active as he used to be," says Anthony Gutierrez, Jason's dad.
The family is holding a charity car wash at Hooter's Sunday, August 26th from 11am to 2pm. All proceeds benefit Jason's Heart Journey.
Here are other ways you can help.

The decades-old Eagle Chamber of Commerce is launching the new year with new faces on its board of directors, new offices at Eagle Town Hall, a new paid administrator and a re-newed commitment to provide vital support to the local business community.
Last week, the Eagle Chamber began that mission by launching its redesigned website at www.eaglechamber.co. As the website itself declares, "The main features of the site will be not only to promote our members and provide marketing opportunities for them, but also a directory of members, sortable alphabetically and by category, as well as links back to members' websites. It will also provide a schedule of Eagle Chamber events and links to the town of Eagle and EagleOutside websites."
According to newly elected Chamber President Jim Ash, the new board believes the website launch signals the organization's commitment to provide more needed services to the local business community.
"Not only is it (website presence) part of doing business today, but our whole mission in 2013 is to provide more value to our members," said Ash.
In that vein, Ash said the hiring of chamber administrator Taylor Slaugh is a major benefit for members. He cited Slaugh's professionalism and her background in marketing and noted now she is employing her business skills to both build the chamber membership and provide practical advice and services once businesses do join.
"The chamber is blessed to have an individual of her caliber, with her marketing and professional background. It's been a great fit," said Ash.
Slaugh said with the website now up and running, her next focus will be on a chamber membership drive and "Buy Local" and "Member to Member" campaigns.
The chamber's Buy Local effort is an awareness campaign that highlights the positive results when consumers and businesses support area companies. "Campaigns such as this have proven to provide a big boost for small businesses and local economies. Participating members will receive campaign collateral for their place of business and may use the graphics/logo in their own promotional advertising and websites." the chamber website states.
The Eagle Chamber's Member-To-Member Discount Program is designed to encourage local businesses to support each other by offering discounts to fellow Eagle Chamber members. "Each chamber member receives two Member-To-Member Discount Cards. Discount cards are valid for the term of your membership and will be renewed each year with your chamber membership," notes the website.
Slaugh is now working from the new Eagle Chamber offices at Eagle Town Hall. The Eagle Town Board recently approved a chamber request to operate a storefront from the downtown building.
"Having a storefront is huge," said Slaugh. "Not only do we now have office space but we also have access to conference rooms and a proximity to the town administrative staff."
As 2013 unfolds, Ash said people in the community will see a concerted effort to bring in new chamber volunteers through an ambassadors program and amped up efforts on traditional chamber events, including the Screaming Eagle Golf Tournament. The tournament, planned Friday, May 31, benefits the chambers scholarship fund and organizers are already looking for volunteers to help with a variety of tournament functions, including food and beverage, prizes and donations, sponsorship recruitment, tournament day organization and more.
With all that is under way and planned in the coming months, chamber officials plan on a high-profile year for the organization in 2013.

Last week while perusing the daily news from around the country I couldn't believe my eyes when I read one headline: The Windham �School Board in New Hampshire had decided to ban dodgeball! �Dodgeball??? �I loved to play dodgeball when I was a kid growing up in the 1970s. �I was a pretty good player, at the dodging part, at least. �As I read the particulars of the report many questions came to my mind. � A handful of parents, it stated, had gone to the school's administration with concerns about bullies misusing the game to pick on their children. �The dodgeball games were happening during gym class. �Had the parents gone as a group to talk to the PE teacher? �Where was the PE teacher when these dodgeball �games were happening? �As a former teacher, it isn't too hard to observe and figure out in any classroom �who the smart kids are, who the popular kids are, who the loners are, and who the bullies are. �A teacher worth their paycheck would find a way to curb the bullies' antics in a PE class. � There are rules �in the game of dodgeball, such as all the throws �of the ball have to land below the waist to avoid hits landing on �students' faces or heads. �Had those rules been explained? �Were those rules being enforced? � If the rules had been explained to the students �and were being broken by one or several students, if I was the PE teacher, I'd make those students who had thrown a ball that made a non-allowed hit to sit out a round or two. �The article said a �handful of parents had complained. �A handful? �That's not a lot of parents, honestly. �If 15-20 parents had complained, that would be �a lot, and it would be pretty easy to come to a conclusion that there was a problem in the PE class. � At the school board meeting, where this ultimately ended up, were the parents who had no problem with dodgeball allowed to speak? �The report didn't say. �It did mention that a couple years ago the traditional red, rubber balls that the Windham schools used for dodgeball were replaced with softer, foam balls. �So the kids were being hit with softer balls to begin with!
At our daughter's college orientation, there was a meeting for the incoming freshmen students' parents. �The college President spoke to us and he was not mincing words when he said our children were the first generation to have experienced "Helicopter Parents". �He didn't mean we were a large group of secret helicopter owners and flyers. �He meant that we, the parents, �were notorious for hovering too much around our children. �We tried to protect them from all hazards in the home when they were learning to crawl and walk. �I can attest to laughing at a "Protect Your Child Forever From Every Bad House Hazard" type of catalog that I somehow got on the mailing list for when I saw a product being sold: knee pads to protect those �crawling babies tender knees. �That product �made me laugh out loud. �It's a wonder I ever learned to crawl as I know my parents didn't have knee pads to give me in 1965!� �Not only was my generation of parents guilty of overprotection of our children from dangers in the home, we were guilty of protecting our children from anything negative. �Junior gets a poor grade, confront and blame the teacher. �Demand that Junior be allowed to re-take that test or earn extra credit! � Junior didn't get that award at the spelling bee? �Give every child a trophy for participating in it! �
�Thinking back to the President's words and to the news story about dodgeball last week caused me to think that when parents try to protect their children from all negative experiences, it just sets the children up for a harder time when they're adults and have �to deal with those negative experiences life �throws at them.� Kids have to learn how to deal with some of life's difficulties without always having �mom and dad stepping in for them, �trying �to take or soften �the blows.
Before I wrote this blog, I did a bit more reading about the school and its ban. � Fortunately for the students who attend schools in the Windham School District, those students �will have other opportunities to play dodgeball. �Neighboring school districts have told the press that they allow dodgeball and don't plan on banning it. �In fact, two area high schools told a reporter that dodgeball remains one of the most popular of the intramural sports that their schools offer! �Those two high schools near Windham, Pinkerton Academy and Londonderry High, have a charity dodgeball tournament each year, where they play against one another. �Perhaps in the near future, those two high schools will invite Windham students to join them? �That sounds like a winning plan. �

About the Book
This Newbery Medal-winning novel by bestselling author Katherine Paterson is a modern classic of friendship and loss.
Jess Aarons has been practicing all summer so he can be the fastest runner in the fifth grade. And he almost is, until the new girl in school, Leslie Burke, outpaces him. The two become fast friends and spend most days in the woods behind Leslie's house, where they invent an enchanted land called Terabithia. One morning, Leslie goes to Terabithia without Jess and a tragedy occurs. It will take the love of his family and the strength that Leslie has given him for Jess to be able to deal with his grief.
In addition to being a Newbery Medal winner, Bridge to Terabithia was also named an ALA Notable Children's Book and has become a touchstone of children's literature, as have many of Katherine Paterson's other novels, including The Great Gilly Hopkins and Jacob Have I Loved.
Supports the Common Core State Standards
All summer, Jess pushed himself to be the fastest boy in the fifth grade, and when the year's first school-yard race was run, he was going to win.But his victory was stolen by a newcomer, by a girl, one who didn't even know enough to stay on the girls' side of the playground. Then, unexpectedly, Jess finds himself sticking up for Leslie, for the girl who breaks rules and wins races. The friendship between the two grows as Jess guides the city girl through the pitfalls of life in their small, rural town, and Leslie draws him into the world of imaginations world of magic and ceremony called Terabithia. Here, Leslie and Jess rule supreme among the oaks and evergreens, safe from the bullies and ridicule of the mundane world. Safe until an unforeseen tragedy forces Jess to reign in Terabithia alone, and both worlds are forever changed.
In this poignant, beautifully rendered novel, Katherine Paterson weaves a powerful story of friendship and courage.

Grab it here. Listen it to it, download it, and send it to your friends and family. In other words, get it out. No spin here, just a nice, round denunciation of Morano, Inhofe and the junk science they find in the sand where their heads are thoroughly buried.
Hot off the Press: Inhofe's Mini-Me Morano burned by climate cha
I'm no climate scientist but this to me doesn't look like a difficult choice. To carry on burning oil like crazy because.

Thank You for Smoking sequel?
I can already envision the sequel to "Thank You for Smoking", starring Aaron Eckhart as Marc Morano….

Water shortage at SEJ?
Yep, talking to people at the SEJ after the Morano spin, it seemed that the overwhelming response was: "I need a shower." Morano definitely fashions himself to be a big time "spin doctor."
quick question
is this the same night that you asked your question to Ford?
John Lefebvre replied on Permalink
Ford was Thursday, Morano Friday …
Is there any way you can post a recording of thursday night? Hearing the switchover from the for PR guy would be classic IMO.

Review of the Bottom Lounge show (Depauliaonline Feb 2012)
Rhode Island rapper Sage Francis sells out the Cobra Lounge
By Samy Sabh
We exit the famous Chicago Cobra Lounge with heads full of blaze, marching around the block and under the train tracks to the Bottom Lounge on Lake Street, tucked in just east of Ogden. The bouncer gazed upon identifications in the usual intimidating doorman fashion, black-lighting the I.D.s and giving them a good onceover. "Got your tickets?" he asked. "It's a sold out show."
Thankfully, we had come prepared and they scanned our barcodes as we made our way into the live room. The bar was crowded as we began pushing our way through for a thimble of whiskey and coke at $5.50 a pop. The $4 PBR tallboys proved to be the better deal. We found ourselves immersed in the center of the crowd, approximately 15 rows back with a few cracks between shoulders granting us a view of the stage. We waited eagerly for the lights to dim in anticipation for one of backpack-indie rap's most celebrated artists to take the stage. His crowd seemed to know who he was on a more keen level than most artists' followers. The group standing in front of me (three gentlemen, one sporting a ZZ Top beard with a fitted baseball cap with the brim bent upwards like Steve Urkle) were placing bets with one another over what song he would open with.
Sage Francis is a rapper from Providence, Rhode Island under his own label that goes by the name of Strange Famous Records. With a degree from Brown University, Francis' lyrical content is baffling as he has impacted the lyrical hip-hop movement exponentially since the mid 90s. As he hashed out a few of his classics such as "Crack Pipes" and "Makeshift Patriot," the crowd responded with unabashed delight. He was on the stage alone, no DJ, as he spun his own records to his own voice without any of that pre-recorded back-track' garbage that so many rappers have to resort to these days. His rhymes were on point and second nature like a trapeze artist going through the motions. It was a raw' performance, no gimmicks, without any external theatrics or self-indulgent mumbo-jumbo. Francis delivered his lines with ease and honesty, breaking down issues from the hopelessly heartbroken to the immensely political. His diction was compacted with vivacious clarity that rests a dash of tranquility upon a young mind, the voice of someone who has already been there. Francis is a familiar face, bearded with peppered hair, captivating more than just the listener's ear drums.
He closed with a hip-hopified version of Lou Reed's "Take a Walk on the Wild Side" which stuck out as a personal favorite of mine. The sample was smooth and ran on for a long while as Francis and three of his Strange Famous representatives slung out a dizzy-spell of rhymes. As the beat cut out, Francis proceeded to say, "Let's get the biggest group hug this city's ever seen going on." He let himself down off the stage and gently pushed his way to the crowd's epicenter where he hugged fans and talked with whomever was willing, which was at least 75 percent of the audience.
Upon exiting the Bottom Lounge I felt fulfilled. I felt happy to know that quality hip-hop is still very much alive; it just backed itself into the corner so it could laugh at the mockery that is the mainstream. Francis is a glimmer of hope for this evocative and infectious art form that has so greatly affected generations X-Y. I would highly recommend this show to any hip-hop fan the next time he comes through Chicago, so if I were you, I'd keep my eyes peeled for anything Strange Famous.
