Being a Knight evolved more than just being a good fighter! There was not an authentic Knights Code of Chivalry as such – it was a moral system which went beyond rules of combat and introduced the concept of Chivalrous conduct – qualities idealized by knighthood, such as bravery, courtesy, honor, and gallantry toward women.
5 ways I think we have an opportunity share in the courteous nature of the Knight!
Do you have a minute?
When calling someone with whom there is no set phone appointment, ask "do you have a minute?" before jumping into that rant/talk. Listen and make sure that person says "yes, I have a minute" before launching into that rant/talk. Have you ever answered the phone and before you even say "Hello" the salesman or your friend starts right into talking. How frustrating is that? A simple "do you have a minute?" is all it takes.
The Golden Rule!
Be pleasant and polite to service staff no matter the venue. Issues can be addressed, but there are ways to do it with dignity and without demeaning someone. I can not tell you how much I hate bad service, but I hate to see people, especially those whose career it is to wait on me, be treated poorly. People make mistakes, as Christian men we set the example to the world how Christ regards us by the way we treat others. (Matthew 7:12, John 13:35)
Go Retro! Grab a Pen & Paper!
Write handwritten notes and send them through the mail! Email, Texting and even Video Conferencing are all well and good but when you are trying to convey concern, or a personal touch nothing beats a hand written note. Even if you do have bad handwriting!
What Goes Around Comes Around!
They don't call it the circle of life for nothing! Make sure to "take it" as good as you "dish it out." If you are one that likes to joke and kid around, make sure that you are just as good a sport when someone is dishing back. Try not to be "That Guy"
This should be a No Brainer!
Tell the truth — that way nothing really has to be remembered. This is a simple Biblical foundation that our society wants us to think is "old fashion". When you tell a lie, you have to remember the details of that lie, and it has a tendency to snowball! Be a man of Integrity and speak the truth, even when it is hard! Part of being a man is "taking your lumps"

I'm still finding it challenging enough on the easy level on the pro tour. Building up my stuff. However, using the pros is a bit too easy after some practice.
I've been playing Tiger Woods since it was first released and immediately set it to advanced level. One of the most frustrating elements for me is the ability (or inability) to hit straight shots constantly. I would make practice swing after practice swing and they would all hit between 98% and 106% perfectly straight but when I actually come to hit the ball sometimes it does go a bit wayward
this did get me thinking though. for all you guys that play it - which style do you adopt
Do you:
- have it set to the basic wiimote setting? (all shots go straight)
- have it set to the avanced wiimote setting? (shots could hook or slice)
- have it set to the nunchuk setting?

I'm still finding it challenging enough on the easy level on the pro tour. Building up my stuff. However, using the pros is a bit too easy after some practice.
There is Easy, Normal, Advanced and Nunchuk.
Easy - Straight
Normal - Hook and Slice
Advanced - Advanced (Somewhat unrealistic) Shot Shaping
Nunchuk - Waste of Wii
I use normal, it works for me. Advanced lets you shape your shot after hitting the ball, very unrealistic - I'd only use it in Skills 18 mode.

Epic Palm post-mortem details a lost legacy
It's not every day you hear of a smartphone technology getting its own massive 22,000 word, 55-page write up. But that's just what's been announced this week as the article known as "Palm: I'm Ready to Wallow Now" is offered up on the back of the decades-long history of the operating system. Writer Thom Holwerda speaks of the death of the mobile operating system and the long - surprisingly long - life it had before its demise.

The Grand Rapids Symphony, representing the arts community, brought the idea to the district in the spring to infuse the arts – music, dance, theater and visual arts – throughout an IB program. IB is recognized internationally for having an academically rigorous curriculum that develops active leaders and critical thinkers.
Last week, the district staff and arts members presented their proposal to the school board's education and finance committees. The new school would start in 2012-13 and serve students in preschool through fifth-grade initially, adding a grade each year.
RELATED: Could an IB Grand Rapids School of the Arts be a district game changer?
But the school carries a hefty to price tag, as proposed. The total estimated cost for the school in year one is $5.27 million with an estimated $1.48 million shortfall after state aid; in year two, the cost is $5.97 million with a $926,062 shortfall; and in year three, the cost is $6.7 million with a $759,821 shortfall. The pattern continues for future years. Official said the lack of state funding for the preschool was a major part of the cost.
The proposed building would be $39 million at a minimum. Transportation costs have not even been factored in.
Superintendent Teresa Weatherall Neal said the funding is to see if the community is in agreement the IB school is needed and if money can be raised locally to help support its operation.
Last week, the finance committee did ask the group to bring back a scaled-down version of the proposal that still maintained the integrity of the quality IB program.
The program could become a key part of the district's plan to restructure itself, closing and consolidating schools and programs and creating new ones.The district, which has been losing students, wants to rightsize and deliver education better to improve student outcomes.
The arts group told the committees it planned to seek support locally and nationally for the program students would not have to test into, unlike City High Middle School's IB Middle Years Program for grades 7 through 10 and IB Diploma Program for grades 11 and 12

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - A federal appeals court says a judge didn't impose a tough enough sentence on a former Birmingham police officer who was convicted in 2012 of using excessive force on a handcuffed man.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit this week vacated the five-year probationary sentence and ordered the federal judge to re-sentence Corey L. Hooper, U.S. Attorney Joyce White Vance announced today.
Hooper's attorney, Everett Wess, said he is reviewing the appeal court's opinion. "Once completed, I will review sentencing options based on the opinion from the 11th Circuit," he stated in an email.
(See 11th Circuit opinion here)
The 11th Circuit Court noted that the district court had given Hooper a five-year probationary sentence, despite federal sentencing guidelines that showed a sentence of 70 to 87 months as being appropriate and federal prosecutors' recommendation of more than seven years in prison for Hooper's conviction for deprivation of rights under color of law.
The court ruled that "Hooper's 60-month probationary sentence is substantively unreasonable under the totality of the circumstances. We therefore vacate and remand for further review and re-sentencing."
The court, however, did not dictate a specific sentence Hooper should receive.
A federal jury on Oct. 3, 2012 found Hooper guilty of using excessive force for hitting a handcuffed Martez Gulley multiple times in the face while Gulley was in the back of a patrol car. But Hooper was found not guilty of a second charge of using excessive force in the use of a stun gun against another man in a separate 2007 incident.
The U.S. Attorney's Office appealed U.S. District Court Judge Inge P. Johnson's probationary sentence as unreasonable, arguing that it did not satisfy the need for general deterrence of the crime of excessive use of force by police officers, according to Vance's statement.
The appeals court stated in its opinion that Johnson abused her discretion when it issued Hooper a five-year probationary sentence. The judge didn't adequately consider the need for Hooper's sentence to be a deterrent to other police officer from using excessive force, . Deterrence is one of the factors a judge considers in sentencing.
Johnson did not adequately consider the seriousness of Hooper's conviction and his abuse of police power and "the vulnerability of a restrained arrestee (Gulley)," according to the court's opinion.
The appeals court also found that Johnson failed to cite "a sufficiently significant justification for granting a 100 (percent), 70-month downward variance," from the recommended guidelines sentence.
"While sentencing courts should look to a defendant's history and characteristics, Hooper's clean criminal history and family ties cannot sufficiently justify such a steep variance under the facts of this case," the court ruled.
Gulley had won a $75,000 verdict in 2011 against Hooper in a civil lawsuit stemming from the incident. Hooper recently won a lawsuit filed against him by another man in an unrelated incident.

Drunken driving, Royalton Road: A police car was approaching the intersection of Royalton Road and York Road at 12:51 a.m. May 12 when the officer noticed a complete blackout. All lights, stoplights and business lightening went dark.
The officer was then dispatched to a car accident at the Speedway gas station located at the intersection in question where a Ford Trailblazer had hit a telephone pole. He found an Olmsted Falls woman, 20, on the ground in pain. He called for EMS assistance.
The officer then saw two men walking around the gas station. They smelled like alcohol and acted drunk. Both were from Strongsville. One was 18, the other 22. They said they had nothing to do with the accident and were just there to help.
Another girl was located on the street. She was injured and couldn't walk. That's when a Strongsville man, 18, ran away from the scene. Police caught up to what turned out to be the driver of the Ford.
He said, "I crashed into the pole." The driver said he was trying to turn into the gas station but hit a pole instead. The driver failed a field sobriety test and was arrested for drunken driving, underage consumption, resisting arrest and obstructing official business.
While talking to the driver, the police were alerted the two Strongsville men they talked to previously were indeed also in the car. Police located them a nearby condo where they were arrested for underage consumption, obstructing official business and falsification.
The Olmsted Falls girls were both charged with underage drinking. The 18-year-old suffered a concussion, while the 20-year-old suffered a broken back, broken collarbone and was in serious condition.
She was sitting in the middle of the back seat. Considering the injuries, the driver was then charged with aggravated vehicular assault charge.
Found property, Meadow Lane: Police were dispatched at 11 a.m. May 11 to Meadow Lane where kids had found a suspicious bag in the woods. The officer found several glass pipes, a prescription bottle, a shot glass and charging cables.
He guessed someone threw it out of a car from the nearby road. Police are investigating.
Obstruction, Wallings Road: A police officer at 1:40 a.m. May 9 observed a white Ford Ranger pull out of the Discount Drug Mart parking lot on Wallings Road. The officer followed the car, which attempted to elude the police car.
Eventually the car pulled into a driveway. When the officer stopped, he was approached by a neighbor who said he saw the North Royalton driver, 23, walk behind the house. The neighbor also said he had never seen the truck before.
Police searched the area but were unable to find the man. The truck was traced to its owner, who the police called. He said he loaned the truck to a friend that night and that he was in Parma at his boss' home.
The next day the man came to the station asking where his truck was towed. The officer told the man he believed he was the driver. He was issued a citation for obstructing official business.
The man didn't deny being the driver. The man asked if any points would go on his driver's license or if he just had to pay the fine. The officer asked the man if he wanted to make a written statement but he declined.
Disorderly conduct, Independence Drive: Police were dispatched at 10:16 p.m. May 8 to an Independence Drive home where a man said his ex-girlfriend was hitting him.
When the officer arrived, he talked to a North Royalton man, 38, and a Parma woman, 38. The man said he was the one who called police but stressed the situation was now under control.
The argument involved the man wanting to go to a bar, while the woman wanted to stay home. Pushing ensued by both parties, which is why they were charged with disorderly conduct. The woman was given a courtesy ride home for the evening.
Drunken driving, W. 130th.: A speeding Jeep Grand Cherokee caught the attention of police at 12:40 a.m. May 10 driving on W. 130th. The officer pulled over the Lakewood woman, who smelled of alcohol and acted drunk-like.
When asked if she had been drinking, the woman paused before saying, "No." After she failed a field sobriety test, the woman was arrested for drunken driving. She was also cited for speeding and weaving.
The officer noted the woman was very cooperative, respectful and apologetic during the incident. He also said she had two prior drunken driving convictions.

"Everything comes to an end," Carmela Soprano warns her husband early in the fourth season premiere of "The Sopranos."
The first new episode in 16 months, which airs tonight at 9 on HBO, is a triumph, from the first glimpse of Tony Soprano rumbling down his driveway to get The Star-Ledger to the final close-up on a tell-tale $20 bill. It's so good, in fact, that Carmela's fatalism might seem jarring to fans just happy to have the mob drama back. But from its very beginning, "The Sopranos" has been a show about endings.
There was fear that the long hiatus, not to mention the shift in the national mood after 9/11, would hurt "The Sopranos." If anything, the events that occurred in the time away have made the show's central themes stronger and more resonant than ever before.Even in the series debut, Tony was complaining that he felt like he "came in at the end" of something. Made in cushier days when the economy was flush and America didn't have any enemies, Tony's comments about the glory years of organized crime seemed like just another symptom of his clinical depression.
Since 9/11, it's become a lot easier to relate to Tony's longing for the days of Gary Cooper, or to understand the mob wives' very real fear that their husbands are placing themselves in danger simply by going to work.
(World Trade Center victims, of course, were involved in law-abiding professions, but in the overly rationalized world of "The Sopranos," these women don't consider their spouses to be any different from bankers or lawyers.)
The terrorist attacks are only referenced briefly in the four episodes sent out for review - the biggest acknowledgement is one of omission, as the shot of the towers in Tony's rearview mirror has been dropped from the opening credits - but they seem to have permeated the consciousness of creator David Chase and his writers, who open the fourth season with Tony's tightly-gripped life falling apart on all fronts.
At work, there's dissension in the ranks aplenty - Ralphie, last year's sworn enemy, may be one of Tony's more reliable allies right now - while Uncle Junior's impending trial has Tony pondering his own future.
"Two endings for a guy like me," he tells Dr. Melfi: "Dead, or in the can. A big percent of the time."
In a misguided attempt to safeguard himself, he starts placing more trust in his short-tempered nephew Christopher - whose fiancee Adriana is unwittingly palling around with an undercover fed.
At home, Meadow is using Jackie Jr.'s murder as just another weapon in the war of words with her parents, AJ is as oblivious to reality as ever, and there could be serious trouble in the Soprano marriage well beyond Carmela's desire to talk about estate planning.
Chase's public comments that the season would focus on the Tony-Carmela union tell only half the truth. Yes, there's plenty of Carmela in these four episodes, both with and without her brutish husband. But all the other women of "Soprano"-land get their turn in the spotlight, from major players such as Janice Soprano and Dr. Melfi to previously obscure characters like Rosalie Aprile (widow of Jackie, played by Sharon Angela) and Gabriella Dante (wife of Silvio, played by Maureen Van Zandt).
More than ever before, we hear about the hopes and fears of these women, and we see different kinds of romance, from the uneasy alliance between Tony and Carmela to the taunting dysfunction of Christopher and Adriana to the unwavering devotion that Bobby Bacala and Johnny Sack have for their wives. The first two episodes even offer glimpses into the home life of undercover agent Deborah Cicerone, whose honest, equal-partnership marriage (her husband is also in the FBI and takes their baby out of the room whenever Adriana calls) is like a silent rebuke to the lying, cheating and manipulation from the mob men.
Is the increased attention to the female characters the result of reading too many stories about 9/11 widows? A realization that the series' actresses were an untapped resource? Or is Chase trying to atone for the way so much of last season's violence was committed against women?
While all three factors no doubt contributed, the latter seems the most likely cause. By its very nature as a show packed with sex, drugs and violence - not to mention weekly images of Italian-American mobsters - "The Sopranos" has at least as many irate detractors as devoted groupies, and Chase has always preferred to respond to his critics through the show.
The new season's third episode, with Silvio outraged over a Native American group's plans to protest Columbus Day, plays like an extended middle finger to all the anti-defamation activists who claim the series perpetuates negative stereotypes about Italians. It's too late in this particular debate to change any hearts and minds, but it's fun to watch gangsters of every race debate the question of what does and does not promote ethnic pride. (Tony's take on the whole issue: "Where the f- is our self-esteem? That s- doesn't come from Columbus or "The Godfather' or Chef Boyardee!")
Because "The Sopranos" has been gone for so long, it's easy to forget just how funny it can be, but the season's early episodes are filled with painstakingly crafted reminders, like Bobby Bacala's observation that "you got your hunchback of Notre Dame, but you also got your quarterback and halfback of Notre Dame" and the way each made man has his own tacky personalized cell phone ring. (Listen for Ralphie's in the middle of a bizarre sex scene in Episode Three.) In each of its three previous seasons, the show wasn't just the best drama on the air, but arguably the best comedy.
These characters are so well-defined and ingrained in the audience's minds now that it doesn't take much to get a laugh from them: a cringe from frustrated, henpecked Artie Bucco, a hint of stinginess from Uncle Junior, or the merest glimpse of AJ's synapses trying to fire.
That kind of audience shorthand reaps dramatic dividends, too. A scene in Episode Two where an angry Tony shows Meadow his work face is terrifying not just because Gandolfini is like a force of nature on screen, but because it may be the first time in the history of the show that Meadow is rendered completely speechless.
The start of season four feels more consistent and entertaining than similar points in the second year, when Chase had to figure out what to do next after the show was an unexpected smash; and the third, when the writers had to recover from the sudden death of Nancy Marchand.
The third season had amazing episodes ("Employee of the Month") and brilliant moments (Tony's near-murder of Gloria Trillo, Livia's funeral, Carmela's therapy session), but the quality was up-and-down overall. Chase's goal of creating a mini-movie each week meant we got the desperate comic genius of "Pine Barrens," but it also meant we had to sit through the listless FBI caper story "Mr. Ruggerio's Neighborhood."
This season, the running plots connect better from episode to episode and the supporting characters all seem to have more to do, without taking away time from Tony and Carmela. These nods to more conventional storytelling doesn't mean the show has suddenly turned into "Magnum, PI" - which is pointedly playing in the background as Christopher confronts his father's killer - but it makes each hour feel like more of a piece than last year.
While Tony's fear of losing his life or livelihood may end up paralyzing him, the fact that "The Sopranos" will almost certainly end after next season seems to have liberated the show's writers. There's a confidence and daring to these four episodes that, coupled with the series' unswerving attention to detail, make this the strongest start to a "Sopranos" season since the beginning.
When you're worried that the end is near, you do what you can to delay it. When you realize it's coming whether you like it or not, you accept your fate, get your affairs in order and try to make your mark before you go.

Absolutely the most amazing thing I have seen in a long, long time. Thank you for sharing.
I am sitting here stunned! I suppose standing out in the pasture allows the creative mind plenty of time to wander. What do you get when you cross a genius artist with a shepherd!!
I'm not amazed that some shepherds are bored enough to attach LEDs to their sheep. I am amazed that no one noticed the daytime scene, where the herd of sheep formed into one giant walking sheep, was CGI.
super. you made my day!
That's really interesting, although I felt bad around the 2 minute mark – just after the Mona Lisa montage, where the one dog ran (in the dark with a light strapped on him) and exploded into several lights.
I'm just not one of those people that enjoy animals being used in movies of any sort.
Since you know the sheparding lifestyle better than most of us in blogland (and for sure me!), I trust your judgement on this one.
I'm a Corgi mom – so I know the dogs loved this chance to strut their stuff. Wondering though – how do sheep "feel" about being herded? Would they be confused by all the activity or are they having fun with their friends?
Now THAT's amazing!!! What a fun feat of herding skill – I'd love to hear the stories that came out of making that one! So cool…
That is SO cool! And kind of funny, to hear the shepherds laughing hilariously!
BTW, April, did you catch the bit immediately in between the Mona Lisa and the "fireworks", where the guy had the LED controller in his hand? What I understood to happen is that the dog ran into the herd of sheep and scattered them, and as he did, the guy with the controller turned on the lights that the sheep were wearing, to make it look like they were "exploding". I don't believe they would have blown up their dog. Just sayin'.
This may be my favorite youtube video- ever. Thanks so much for posting it!
Wow – just wow!
Pegi is correct. The lights on a group of sheep were turned on just as the dog scattered them, making a approximation of fireworks.
Just amazing, but maybe these guys need a little time away from their sheep?? LOL
Those are *good* dogs.
This is shepards with too much time on their hands
i see next year's winter solstice party getting interesting….
This is the coolest thing I have seen in… I can't even remember seeing anything like that…
The first time I didn't believe my own eyes. I had to rewind and watch the Mona Lisa part… just thinking "no way… they didn't just do that…" The fireworks look great, but the Mona Lisa part? How is that even possible?
I have spent all morning reading your blog, watching the YouTube videos and watching the lambcam. How ever am I going to find time to knit with all of this cool stuff here. I made DH watch the Buckyballs video as well as the sheepherder video. They were just too wonderful not to share! Thank you for sharing them with all of us.
Very impressive, fabulous creativity!!!! I recently attended a sheep/dog show… very smart animals!

BOSTON — The banners and digital billboards heralding the running of the 117th Boston Marathon still lined the streets of Bean Town on Wednesday afternoon – 48 hours after two deadly bomb blasts turned personal triumphs into collective tragedy.
In hotel lobbies, race competitors were still wearing the blue and yellow jackets emblazoned with the BAA logo, marking their participation in one of the grandest athletic competitions in the world. They wore their clothing proudly – whether they were among those who finished before the bombs went off or whether they were forced to cut their race short when the explosions put an end to the race. This would be a race no one would ever forget.
Inside the Prudential Center Shops the rhythm of the morning routine, while somber, seemed unbroken as shopkeepers opened their doors for business and Starbucks coffee shops brewed up customers' favorites.
And the folks in the hospitality business – the ones who put Boston's face forward – did a masterful job handling orders, offering directions and dispensing kindness and sympathy.
Kathy, an Ann Taylor store manager and native of Ireland, recalled the days of the troubles in Great Britain and admitted she experienced a flashback when Monday's bomb shook Boylston Street. All the while, she guided two women – who were stranded overnight with their cars in lockdown in the Prudential parking garage – to the sale racks.
Boston cab drivers seemed eager to talk to their customers, asking if they were all right and sympathizing with the out-of-towners who couldn't make rhyme or reason of the confounding downtown traffic patterns – made that much more difficult with a dozen city blocks closed to traffic while police officers, FBI agents and other law enforcement officials combed the streets and surveillance cameras for clues.
Outside the massive shopping center – a city unto itself – it was clear that Boston had changed since the tragic events on Marathon Day. On every street corner, there were armed officers – hailing from the state police, the FBI, the AFT and the sheriff's offices and many other law enforcement agencies. While many passers-by shook their heads that the streets of Boston had come to this, there was also a sense of relief.
This will be temporary, both Bostonians and out-of-towners seemed to say as they went about their day.
Boston is grieving now, but the rawness of the moment will subside.
Boston was already showing signs that it will move on – somber, but steadfast in its resolve to remain a proud and welcoming city.
Commentary: 48 hours after bombings, Boston somber, steadfast

This weekend I had the opportunity to experience an air show at the Scottsdale Air Park. The show featured numerous flyovers by planes, fun carnival food and festive atmosphere that featured the joys of aeronautic prowess, rock music and the American flag.
At one point in the show, an F-18 Hornet fighter made a fast low pass over the crowd at a tilted angle and a booming loud open throttle (see film below). As it passed over you could feel the engine vibrato in your chest as well as the swelling of pride in seeing American know-how roaring overhead. When you see this spectacle, only the most hardened of hearts would not be in awe and amazement.
You feel proud. You feel safe. You feel invulnerable. These aircraft are truly inspiring and terrifying all at once.
Americans die for their nation and do so an in almost daily parade these days. Volunteers all, even those that work in the State Department trying to bring civilization and sanity to broken countries and oppressed peoples. These people represent the finest our country has to offer.
Unfortunately there were four men that recently died alone in the desert, huddled in a distant outpost of the city of Benghazi on the shores of a nation that most people couldn't even point out on a map. On a warm September evening, the enemies of every freedom loving individual in the world attacked and murdered these four young men at this outpost. According to most sources, we now know that they died fighting and repeatedly asking for help from the powers that be.
At sea, just a few hundred miles away, two F-18 Hornets sat on the deck of the symbol of American power and influence—an aircraft carrier-- in what is known as a Ready 400 position (on deck, fueled and ready to launch) that could be called to attack enemy forces by ground forces under attack or siege. A few more miles away a squadron more of these planes were in the 'Ready' position at an airfield in Italy for follow up strikes as needed.
I'm not a military man, nor an expert on these things, but many who do know about these things tell me these planes are specifically set up to attack ground troops in the event of a surprise attack—and yet they never got the go ahead as our innocent men drew fire in Benghazi that night. I will not question whether or not they would have been effective, or able to stop the attack, this is not my field of expertise. Perhaps the chain of command felt they would be inadequate or politically improper to do the task and that's why they were given the order to stand down while our people were torn to shreds by a gang of thugs and terrorists.
Nevertheless, because the political or military risk might have been grave, that does not mean you don't try.
We should have at least tried.
Had those Tomcats flown over that consulate that night and roared their fiery growl across that starlit night, it is entirely possible that the terrorists might have fled. They might have delayed their attack. They might have panicked or perhaps broken their resolve. Maybe not. It's hard to say.
But this much is certain, our men would not have died alone. They would have looked to the skies and known that the loss of their lives would not have been in vain, that America would go on, and that American power would persevere and live, even if they did not. It is a terrible thing to die alone if you are a hero or a warrior for your nation. To die waiting for help and to know it was not coming is grotesque offense to every man and woman that wears the uniform with honor.
This is what soldiers fight for, whether they are ambassadors of peace or harbingers of death. Soldiers and statesmen fight to defend an ideal, a principle, not for a piece of cloth known as a flag, but for the ideas that it represents. When a soldier goes into battle they know it might be their last but if they die they take comfort in knowing they do not die alone, but they die for millions of others who will eventually stand in their place.
To look up to those silent skies as the enemy closed in, begging for help that would never come is the real crime and real scandal, not the fact that they were not properly protected, nor that our President has possibly concealed the truth from the nation.
Hearing those Tomcats roar overhead as their life ebbed from them, or as the crowd dragged them off to their ultimate fate would have given them at least some sort of solace and comfort in their final moments. America would go on. You are not alone. Justice will eventually be served.
The silent skies above those men hopefully will be the final insult this nation has to bear as we march to the ballot boxes on Tuesday.
Else we pass into history at our peril.

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised.
The revolution will not be televised due to our blackout policy. Because the revolution is taking place in your market, you will be unable to watch the revolution. Instead of the revolution, the classic Billy Bob Thornton/John Cusack film, Pushing Tin, will be televised. If you'd like to see the revolution, it is advised that you purchase tickets and attend the revolution. The revolution is not sold out. In fact, season tickets are still available.
The revolution will not be televised, but may we suggest purchasing access to Revolutions.tv. This will allow you to watch the revolution on your PC, tablet, or mobile device.
The revolution will not be televised, but it will be available for streaming on Hulu.com seven days after the revolution takes place.
The revolution will not be televised, but I know this weird Korean website where you can watch it. There are subtitles I don't understand, and the quality isn't great, but it's still the revolution.
The revolution will not be televised, but if you have a cable subscription, you can log in to WatchRevolutions.com and use their authenticator to watch the revolution. Just provide your username and password, and you will have access to the revolution live, plus alternate angles, commentary, and the ability to share your login with up two more IP addresses.
The revolution will not be televised because of a dispute between the revolution and DIRECTV. If you'd like to see the revolution, please call DIRECTV and demand that they put the revolution back on the air. In the meantime, my buddy Carl has Dish Network. I don't know if they're televising the revolution or not, but it's worth a shot.
The revolution will not be televised, but I guess if you really need to see it, you could download a torrent. Just be careful, because if we get another letter from Time Warner, they're going to cut off our internet.
The revolution will not be televised, but for $7.99 a month, you can subscribe and stream as many revolutions as you want. You'll end up spending the whole weekend watching revolutions. They're so addictive. Or, have the revolution sent to your home on DVD. Return the revolution when you are done, and you can get a new one in 2-3 business days.
The revolution will not be televised, but I heard there's a way to watch it through an Xbox 360. My roommate is playing Left 4 Dead 2 right now, so we can't use it. When he's done though, we're totally going to watch the revolution.
The revolution will not be televised, but it will be live tweeted by various celebrities. This is not the same as watching the revolution, but we understand that millennials prefer this method more.
The revolution will not be televised, but you can read the recaps the next day on various websites. Critics will assign a letter grade to the revolution, and commenters will debate as to whether or not that letter grade is accurate, especially considering the revolution as just one part in a larger, serialized context.
The revolution will not be televised, but… ugh… what the hell is a Roku?
The revolution will not be televised, but it will be available for purchase for $5 through Louis C.K.'s website. The revolution will be DRM-free, but please don't send it around to all of your friends. Real people made this revolution… ya know?

Bergevin Lane Vineyards
Bergevin Lane Vineyards, founded in 2002, is a family winery combining the long vineyard management career of Gary Bergevin with the talents and vibrant enthusiasm of his daughter Annette, the marketing skills of co-owner Amber Lane, and the winemaking magic of Steffan Jorgensen.
Gary and Annette's roots run deep in Walla Walla. In the mid-1800's the Bergevin family settled in eastern Washington State and decided to call Walla Walla "home." Strong family ties, the opportunity for growth, and their passion for wine carried Annette and Amber to Walla Walla from Sonoma County in California. With Gary's experience and strong ties in the local wine industry combined with Annette and Amber's business and sales background, Bergevin Lane Vineyards was founded.
More About Bergevin Lane Vineyards
Annette says their success can be described simply "We are making wines we love, and are proud to share."
When recently interviewed by THE GLOBE AND MAIL at the Vancouver, BC International Wine Festival, Annette was asked what she would drink at her very last supper. This is how she replied:
"I�m a fifth generation Walla Wallan so I would raise a glass of our Princess Syrah, also born and raised here. This Syrah reflects the terroir and extreme care in which it was grown. I would recall the blood, sweat and tears it took to bring my dream to fruition, I�d toast my life and then most importantly, I�d raise my glass to my family�s future hoping that all their dreams come true!"
Bergevin Lane's wines are classic Walla Walla with a bit of an international twist. Winemaker Steffan Jorgense's experience includes work at Chateau Lestage Simon (Haut Medoc), Vina Los Vascos of Lafite Rothschild (Chile), Chateau Dassault (St. Emilion Grand Cru Classe) and La Crema Winery (Russian River) among others.

WAYLAND, MI – With a pesky Wayland girls basketball team pressing to stay close with state champion Grand Haven, Hannah Wilkerson used her speed to help the Buccaneers stay perfect on the young season.
The 5-foot-9 senior guard consistently maneuvered her way through the Wildcat full court press in the pivotal fourth quarter, and numerous times was the recipient of an easy basket which helped her score 12 of her game-high 22 points.
That effort helped Grand Haven beat host Wayland 59-50, in the Buccaneers closest game of the season.
Grand Haven stays undefeated at 5-0, while Wayland falls to 2-2 in the non-league game.
"It wasn't by design, it was just pass, pass, pass, and then I would be down there at the basket," a humble Wilkerson said. "I just kept working hard and ran the court."
After trailing by 12 points at 25-13 midway through the second quarter, the Wildcats kept chipping away at the much taller Buccaneers, and trailed by a single point at 41-40 heading into the final eight minutes of play.
Much of that comeback was because of pressure defense, and the Wildcats kept applying that in the fourth quarter.
RELATED: See more photos from the game
But Grand Haven kept breaking the press thanks to 6-5 senior center Abby Cole standing in the middle of the court as a target for her teammates to find when the pressure became too unbearable.
One pass later, Cole was finding Wilkerson three times in the fourth quarter.
"We did a nice job of breaking their press, but it is nice to have a 6-5 target in the middle of the court," Grand Haven coach Katie Kowalczyk-Fulmer said. "They were trying to make us play a little faster than we like, but we did a good job of breaking their press. And Hannah is so fast and likes to fly, and then Abby kept finding her."
It was the first time this year that the Buccaneers have been challenged this much, and won by only single digits this year.
"This was our first close game, but they are a great team," Kowalczyk-Fulmer said. "We did get a little soft on defense there. We had that 12-point lead, and we have to do a better job of playing with the lead. But I was proud of our girls, because they could have folded when our lead kept getting cut to one."
Wayland coach Marty Howard tried to throw everything at the Buccaneers with his much-shorter roster, but the Wildcats were just unable to finish off the great comeback.
"They are the state champs, and we went toe-to-toe with them," Howard said. "They are a very disciplined team, and it must be great to have a 6-5 target like they do. That's the difference between them and us."
Cole finished her game with 16 points, 11 rebounds and nine blocked shots.
Wayland was led by senior center Haley Obetts, who finished with a respectable 19 points after battling with Cole all night.

Director Marian Urdank worked with 45 cast members to bring the story of little orphan Annie, played by Catie Galan, to life during the recent performances done by Rosedell Elementary School students.
The story takes place in New York City, where the miserable Miss Hannigan, played by Jill Mountan, runs a gloomy orphanage.
When billionaire Oliver Warbucks, played by Ethan Ross, sends his personal secretary Grace Farrell, played by Reece Denmeade, to invite an orphan to spend Christmas at his mansion, he gets more than he bargained for.
Annie tells Warbucks that her parents left her as an infant with a promise to return to get her some day. Hannigan's brother Rooster, played by Garrett Carpenter, and his girlfriend Lily St. Regis, played by Kira Cragun-Rehders, come to town and pretend to be Annie's parents in order to collect a $50,000 reward offered by Warbucks to anyone who can prove they are Annie's parents.
In the end, it is discovered that Annie truly is an orphan and Hannigan, Rooster and Lily are arrested, and Annie is adopted by "Daddy" Warbucks.
Cast members rehearsed throughout the school year, and professional costumes were provided by Tonya Nelson at No Strings Attached Costumes. Bob Shatto, his son Chris and teacher Karen McCallon were the sound technicians. Bob's daughter Kali headed up the videography team, while Rachel Nelson provided additional sound tech support.

A Man of Many Crises, and Many Lives, Richard Nixon Made Enemies—and a Fair Share of History
"The secret of Nixon's durability," wrote historian Garry Wills in 1969, "resides in his willingness to sacrifice former selves to the self of the moment." Thus the crusading anti-Communist of the '50s became the first President to reach out to China; the paranoid, vindictive figure of Watergate became an eminence of matchless experience.
Ambitious but painfully awkward socially, Nixon grew up poor in Yorba Linda as the second of five sons of Francis Nixon, a lemon farmer, and Hannah Milhous, a pious Quaker. He turned down a Harvard scholarship to attend nearby Whittier College and help out at home, occasionally working as a carnival barker. After earning a law degree at Duke, Nixon returned home and courted Patricia Ryan, a schoolteacher who failed at first to return his enthusiasm. Doggedly, Nixon would drive Pat on her dates with other young men, until finally he wore down her resistance.
In the Navy during World War II, Nixon built up a $10,000 nest egg skinning fellow officers at stud poker. He used the money to finance his successful first race for Congress, against incumbent Democrat Jerry Voorhis, whom Nixon falsely tarred as a Communist sympathizer. In 1950 he used the same tactic to defeat Democratic senatorial candidate Helen Gahagan Douglas. Ultimately his posturing helped bring him the GOP nomination as Dwight Eisenhower's running mate in 1952.
After narrowly losing the 1960 presidential race to John F. Kennedy, then failing to win the 1962 California governor's race, Nixon was declared politically dead. Yet he managed a stunning comeback in 1968 by repackaging himself as the New Nixon and promising to end the Vietnam War. Five years later he did so, but only at the expense of 27,000 more American lives.
Nixon in his later years largely abandoned his trademark gut-fighter's partisanship to cultivate an image as a sage and adviser. He published his memoirs and eight books on global affairs and pursued détente on the personal level as well, making peace with such old rivals as George McGovern, whom he had defeated in the bitter 1972 presidential race. Over the years, McGovern saw his former foe change for the better. "I think he became a more authentic, open, liberated person after he left politics," says McGovern. "As a person, he was more humane, a better man the day he died than when he was in the White House."

SWF duo launch new firm
Senior executives from sovereign wealth funds the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation and the Kuwait Investment Authority have left to launch an emerging markets fund of funds.
GIC senior vice-president Winson Ng and Kuwait Investment Office vice-president Hesham Al-Quraini have founded QWin Capital, a London-based firm that will invest in funds in Asia and the Middle East.
Investors expect QWin to attempt to raise up to $500m in the coming months, although the pair said they were unable to comment on any fundraising plans. The co-founders have longstanding experience of selecting private equity fund managers. Ng worked at GIC for 11 years and Al Quraini was at KIO for 17 years. KIO is the branch office of KIA in London.
Commenting on the timing of the launch, Al-Quraini said: "European and US private equity markets are going through a challenging period while emerging markets continue to consistently offer an exciting alternative."
The firm hopes to take advantage of the cultural and business links between Asia and the Middle East. The pair, who have known each other for eight years, also hope to make use of their existing contacts at fund managers.

HOLLIDAYSBURG - The severe drug problems being experienced by adults in Blair County are beginning to trickle down to teenagers, which has led to the creation of the county's juvenile drug court for young people up to age 18.
The first cases, involving a 15-year-old and two 16-year-olds, will be heard this week by Judge Elizabeth Doyle.
John Dively, deputy director of the Blair County Juvenile Probation Office, said the juvenile drug court is being started now because "we are seeing an increase in drug offenses."
Most of the problems stem from marijuana abuse, he said, and do not involve the two drugs - heroin and crack cocaine - that have placed so many in the county's adult drug court program.
Until this point, Dively said, the juvenile office has not felt the need for a juvenile drug program, either because the problem wasn't there or because juveniles using drugs were not finding their way into the juvenile system.
Nancy Williams, director of the probation office, said the new drug court is not for juvenile drug dealers. She said their cases are handled by the juvenile court, or, in some cases, transferred to the adult criminal court for trial.
When the drug court convenes for the first time Tuesday, it will be the fourth "specialty court" in the county: President Judge Jolene G. Kopriva oversees adult drug court, Judge Daniel Milliron presides over a court for serial drunk drivers and Judge Tim Sullivan is in charge of a family drug court, designed to return children to drug-addicted parents.
Doyle, Dively and others were trained to conduct a juvenile drug court back in 2006, but it was never put into operation. The team visited a juvenile drug court in York, and attended training sessions in Baltimore.
Kathy Dickinson and Molly Rimbeck, caseworkers who will oversee the young people in the juvenile drug court program, were in Baltimore Thursday and Friday for additional training.
Doyle said juveniles will be required to appear in court at least every two weeks for a case review, accompanied by a parent, other adult relative or clergy member. They will undergo treatment and counseling for drug and other problems and will undergo frequent drug testing.
Programs for some juveniles will be short, lasting only six months, while others will have a program of 12 to 18 months.
If the juveniles successfully complete their programs, the charges against them will be dismissed.
Both the district attorney and public defender's staff will have input into who is placed in the court, Doyle stated.
The treatment programs "will be tailor-made for the participants," she said. The court will have at its disposal a variety of assessments to pinpoint each juvenile's strengths and weaknesses. They also will have a social and psychological history of each juvenile and do a review of his or her family and school record.
Like the other courts, juvenile drug court will operate on a system of rewards and sanctions with an emphasis on the positive. A sanction in the juvenile court, for instance, won't involve jail time but could instead be community service, Doyle said.
She said she is very excited about finally getting her chance to run a drug court program.
"I think we can do something good for the children," she said.

Voting has started for the crucial November elections and I want to spread the word about two vital subjects I hope voters know.
The latest re-do of our voting districts is an outrageous gerrymander. Issue 2 was initiated by the League of Women Voters and would substitute a fair, non-partisan re-districting process. The basic intention of Issue 2 — details aside — is clear and simple: Incumbent politicians now design Ohio voting districts to insure their own re-election, not to give equal weight to your ballot in deciding fair elections. Issue 2 gives us, "We, the People," the opportunity to take back the value of our ballots and make our elections more fair and equitable.
I urge you, no matter to which political party you belong, to vote for Issue 2. For further information on the proposal and a summary of the ballot language, go to the Voters First Ohio website, votersfirstohio.com/.
I'm also concerned that few of us know how to judge the judges. The website judge4yourself.com provides us with ratings of all bar associations and newspaper endorsements. I find it to be essential in making decisions on contested judge races. I think you will too.

This game is repetitive. Match jewels for a while, build your highest-tier attack ship for a while, match jewels for a while.
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
Combining to games to make one great game is always a great idea, but somehow you've choosen bejewled to be the second game, and the stratergy part of builds lack any real... well need for a stratergy.
I gave you a 5 for the game idea, but I just really disliked this game.
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
Poorly thought out game mechanics+timelimit=Fail.
Ok, you got a bejewel ripoff paired with a strategy game which means you can't focus on one over the other cause you'll either go broke or worse, mis-click and lose 2000, or your base will disappear cause you were too busy making money. This is annoying, but it is manageable as it isn't very difficult to quickly switch from one to the other, until you come to the whole running out of time, which is what makes me wish I never found this game.
I've only EVER lost from running out of time, which sucks when you clearly have the advantage and cannot lose cause the enemy's base is either almost dead or has been destroyed but there are still fighters to mop up. This turns what could be an awesome and fun game into a frantic bejewel session followed by spamming the cheap 100 dollar fighter and praying that's good enough cause when you attempt to get all fancy with mixed 100 and 400 dollar fighters you wind up losing cause you ran out of time.
Bottom line is having to play Bejewel and dealing with a time limit kills any attempt at actually employing anything that can actually be called strategy.
