I've deliberately not done many political pieces so far on this blog. It's not really my focus. But as elections draw near every few years, I find myself getting sucked in by the whirlwind of constant coverage. I think it's better when people don't know my true political biases, because they are only a small part of what makes me, me. Too many people are defined by their political ideals.
As I've gotten older, I've gone from liberal to more libertarian. I consider myself a moderate Libertarian, if there is such a thing, which there doesn't seem to be. What does moderate Libertarian mean? It means I believe in limiting rules both on the social and economic side. That's the litmus test. The fewer rules that intrude on our lives the better off we are. That's why I can't buy anti-abortionist ideology as a Libertarian position. I can respect why Ron Paul feels that way, as a former doctor and moral man, but I can't stand behind it because it limits us in an arbitrary way. It is a moral imposition on others who may not feel that way. I can be against abortion but not stand in its way and force every mother to have a child she doesn't want, so the child grows up unwanted and unloved and becomes a burden and menace to society. I believe this is the correct expression of the Libertarian platform ideal on abortion which says, "Recognizing that abortion is a sensitive issue and that people can hold good-faith views on all sides, we believe that government should be kept out of the matter, leaving the question to each person for their conscientious consideration." The only way to keep governments out of the matter is to err on the side of allowing something so that reasonable people can make their own choice. When the government says you can't have an abortion, they have made the choice for you. Everyone needs to make their own choices and deal with the consequences. Don't limit cigarettes because some people will die of cancer. There are warnings all over. The information is available. It's up to people to tend their own garden. Fewer rules. More choice.
Moderate means I don't agree with some of the Libertarian ideals. I think many Libertarians wish the founding fathers would just rise up from their graves and run the country again. But they're never coming back and we can't have laws written as if they were here. The men and women who fill their roles today aren't cut from the same cloth. We also can't roll the clock back and run the show the same way we did 200 years ago. Economies are more complex now. That's why I don't think we should end the Fed, because I can't imagine giving monetary policy to the same politicians who draft bills that are larger than your average door stopper fantasy novel. Most Libertarians can't stand politicians and then they want to turn around and give monetary policy to them, so it can change with every election cycle? You think these guys are idiots and yet you want them running monetary policy? It makes no sense. The Fed is the lesser of two evils. And I don't go in for the gold standard. I can't imagine limiting the economy based on some shiny metal we dig out of the ground. Again, that is just arbitrary nonsense. We made up gold's value, because some cave man dug it up years ago and it was shiny. It has no real value other than what we gave it.
What I do like about Libertarian ideals is the desire to limit the scope of our rule sets. Simple equals better. Nudge people in the right direction, rather than compelling them. As I get older, I've become more conscious of the unintended side effects of rules. A few celebrities die and suddenly regulators step in to make it harder for doctors to dispense pain pills. My psychologist got cancer recently. He needed morphine for constant pain. This is a man who never takes pain pills if he can avoid it. This is a man who exercised and ate well most of his life. And yet he had to shop doctors to find useful medication. Unintended consequences are the side effects of a desire to protect everyone from themselves. The deeper we go down that rabbit hole, the harder it is to stop.
An example of the over complicated laws we make today is the health care law passed under Obama's stewardship. The health law Congress passed has created 100,000 categories of things that we can file for, including nine codes related to injuries from parrots and six related to flaming water skies. Does that seem insane to you? Don't believe it? Neither did this forum poster who wanted to check out the truth in that statement. Check it out for yourself.
More regulation means more paper work. That means more cost. The Economist has a great article on the over-regulation of America. Take the Dodd-Frank Law. It had a noble goal: to prevent the banks from causing another melt down and increase transparency. The last Wall Street reform bill, Glass-Steagall, enacted in 1932 after the melt down that preceded the Great Depression, totaled 29 pages. Dodd-Frank comes in just a bit shorter than the Lord of the Rings at about 848 pages and growing. It won't be long before our leaders are writing laws longer than the Mahabharata. Unintended consequences and loop-holes follow. Now it costs $150,ooo for hedge funds to comply and get all the forms filled out, which are spawning like a Hydra. That's more money than most people make in a year and it doesn't take complex math to realize that money won't be going to hiring another person.
Is the contraceptive debate another unintended consequence of universal healthcare law? Because government is getting in the health care game, social conservatives can bring up the contraceptive debate. This debate is a direct outgrowth of the law. Now we have to decide if religious companies are compelled to cover contraception. Without this law, we never have the debate. Unintended consequences.
Rules create all kinds of consequences. Take marijuana control. It's outlawed but people want it, so industrious people spring up to give it to them. It's a big risk to get you weed. Who takes big risks? Criminals. Because it is illegal, it increases risk, the price skyrockets because economics are about supply and demand. Make something harder to supply and that gets built into the price. When criminals make lots of money through great risk what happens? They kill to protect it. Because they kill, good and well-meaning men and women in our border patrols and DEA get killed, which creates a vicious cycle. The men and women of law enforcement lose some of their own and so they dig in further and fight back. That puts more pressure on the cartels, who in turn get more vicious and the law of survival of the fittest takes over. The stronger and more cunning rise to the top. For every criminal killed or imprisoned, three more spawn in their place, because the demand for the drug has not subsided. It never ends. Unintended consequences. In reality, both the DEA and cartels are misaligned resources. They are people who would be better served in a different role, but because society suppresses something that people want, we have to allocate resources (money, people, time) to the delivery or control of those drugs, otherwise those resources would be productively spent on something completely different.
When alcohol was made illegal, it directly corresponded with the rise of organized crime, which spawned to help create the large-scale infrastructure needed to move and transmit something that lots of people still wanted even though it was illegal. Before prohibition, gangs were not organized. However with prohibition, they had to get better at their jobs, creating strict centralized hierarchies, as well as distribution chains and management. All of these things are intricately and infinitely connected like pearls on a string. One follows the other.
In society, we have to accept that some people and some businesses will fail. If everyone passes the test, then it's not a test, it's a ceremony. We can't have no child left behind. We have to keep laws practical and simple. The best way to do that might be to say Congress should only meet a few times year, so they don't feel compelled to keep adding to the stack of laws we already have on the books. The human mind feels compelled to keep solving problems. And if there are no problems to solve, it creates its own made up problems, so it has something to do. This is our nature.
I want to see a truly practical candidate come to the table, but I don't see that happening. It seems nearly impossible for us to get a candidate that is fiscally conservative but socially liberal. To me that seems the most consistent position, one that is both practical and compelling and one I believe would resonate with the majority of Americans. I am hoping for this against a rising tide of divisionism and stupidity.
Rick Santorum is the perfect example of a useless candidate, a person who despises Iran as a country run by al-Qaeda like fanatics but is incapable of seeing that by bringing his own brand of moralizing to the forefront he is a mirror of that ideal that he hates. He is imposing one group's religious beliefs on everyone else, under the guise of "religious freedom." While much of his policy makes sense from a fiscal perspective, his social policy is assinine. Nobody cares about contraceptives except a few radicals. Even most Catholics don't roll with the Pope on this issue, because it is a matter of personal choice. When a politician starts talking about things that go on inside the domain of your own home he is on dangerous ground.
Santorum also unwisely demonizes higher education. Forbes has an excellent article on how he sees higher education as "indoctrination mills." Of course, this is absurd. Every single member of the Republican leadership, including Santorum, attended multiple levels of higher education. It appears they all resisted the indoctrination just fine. Santorum went to Pennsylvania University, received a master's degree from University of Pitt AND went to law school at Dickinson Law. When our entire economy is based on knowledgeable workers, and labor has been moved overseas because it is cheaper, where would the jobs come from when people have no education? My girl worked hard and put herself through college. When she got out, she found it didn't mean much. It was basically the new high school diploma. Let's go ahead and demonize getting an education in a time when people need it more than ever. This makes no sense whatsoever on any level. Even if many of the teachers at colleges are liberal, that is not always the case, people make their own decisions and choices. We are not all stooges who goose step to whatever our teachers tell us. If you feel that you are incapable of making your own choice when a teacher has a different political bias than you, then I feel sorry for you.
I want to make something clear for you. When I watched the Republican debate in Arizona the other day I saw the candidates deflecting the question of contraception, in order to create more intrusions into your personal life. When asked about whether they support contraception the politicians immediately switched the topic to be a discussion on Obama mandating Catholic companies to cover contraception. That is not the question. In logic this is both a Red Herring and missing the point. All politicians are masters of using illogical arguments to skip answering real questions. The questions of using contraception or mandating coverage are two different subjects all together. Conflating them confuses the issue. You can be easily in favor of the choice to use contraception with your lover and not in favor of forcing people with different beliefs to pay for contraception. Politicians don't want you to think about that. They want you confused. To illustrate how these are two questions, note that in 2005 78% of Catholics said they believe the Pope should allow Catholics to use birth control. To be clear, this is a poll of Catholics, not even the larger American population. That's a huge majority of the religious population, that Santorum claims to represent, but clearly doesn't. Now lets look at the poll of people who support the Obama contraception mandate rule. There we find that only 57% of Catholics support it, still a majority, but much slimmer. Only 43% of white Evangelicals support it, a smaller minority of the overall Christian population, despite their oversized voice, which is who Santorum actually represents. But notice how they are two very different questions that politicians are trying to collapse into a single issue?
Americans are clear; we want fewer rules, fewer mandates, and less intrusion into our lives. This is our history and what made us great. Each man and woman can determine their own fate. We have not always hit this ideal. We've often fallen short, but it's worth fighting for again and again. This comes out when we ask clear and true and honest questions. It all depends on how the question is phrased. Ask the right question and the evidence is clear. Ask a misleading question, that misses the point, and you get the skewed data that politicians love so they can manipulate and divide us, creating more rules, consolidating power and dictating their own moral structures.

CBS' 'Got to Dance' lands Paula Abdul
'American Idol' veteran will be judge, executive producer and creative partner
After months of flirting with several established shows, as well as new series projects, Paula Abdul has finally found her next television home.
CBS announced on Monday (May 24) that Paula Abdul will serve as lead judge, mentor, coach, creative partner and executive producer on the new reality-competition series "Got To Dance."
That's a lot of hats (several probably redundant).
"I've spent the better part of my life teaching, mentoring, nurturing—working with so many talented people—and I consider myself truly blessed to be able to continue to do something that I hold so dear to my heart," Abdul states in the CBS press release. "I am thrilled to be creative partners with Reveille, Shine, and CBS and to present the best new dance talent to American audiences. Each and every week we'll showcase the challenges and successes of a fantastic group of dancers, as they perform and compete—compelling stories, exciting competition and amazing dance performances are guaranteed."
CBS describes "Got To Dance," based on the popular British formula, as "the most inclusive talent search on television." Amateurs from around the country, within any age range and performing either as solo dancers or groups, will audition in any form of dance. The most talented will get to audition for Abdul and the other expert judges, with the very best from that group advancing to perform in life semifinals and finals telecasts, which will introduce viewer voting component.
"Paula is the perfect fit for "Got To Dance" ... an accomplished dancer, choreographer and popular entertainment figure, she has a real appreciation for the talents our dancers will bring each week," states Jennifer Bresnan, Executive Vice President, Alternative Programming, CBS Entertainment. "As a creative partner, her expertise will provide great insight and a nurturing, creative energy both behind the scenes and on camera."
"Got To Dance" premiered on Sky 1 in December 2009 and immediately became one of the top-rated pay TV shows of the season. The British incarnation was hosted by Davina McCall, with Ashley Banjo, Kimberly Wyatt and Adam Garcia serving as judges.
Abdul finished her eight-year run as "American Idol" judge last season and has subsequently been rumored for everything from "Dancing with the Stars" to "So You Think You Can Dance" to a new NBC format from Kenny Ortega. She's sold over 60 million albums worldwide and won numerous awards.
CBS will announce audition information, plus addition judges and a host at a later date.

Most parents worry as to whether their kids are getting enough nutrition in their home-packed school lunches. While this is important, according to FoodSafety.gov you also need to keep safety in mind. Many parents do not realize that dangerous bacteria may build up in their children's lunches before they have the opportunity to eat them. The bacteria increase when the food is not kept at a safe temperature. Insulated lunch bags for kids are the perfect solution to this problem.
Keep Refrigerated Foods Cold
Anything that is usually refrigerated needs to remain cold until your children have lunch. Items that should remain cold in your child's lunch include yogurt, lunchmeat, mayonnaise and cheeses. Put the most perishable foods directly next to the ice packs to ensure they remain the coldest.
Insulated Lunch Bags Effectively Keep Food Safe
FoodSafety.gov states that the insulated lunch bags for kids used in conjunction with frozen gel packs is an effective way to keep food temperatures safe until lunchtime.
Two Frozen Cold Packs Recommended
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) recommends that parents use two cold packs in their children's lunches to ensure that the food remains cold enough to prevent bacteria growth.
A Frozen Juice Box
A frozen juice box works great as one of the cold packs in an insulated lunch bag. Just put the juice boxes in the freezer overnight. Add them to the lunches with another cold pack in the morning and by lunchtime, they will be ready to drink!
There is a large variety of insulated lunch bags for kids available at Lillian Vernon. Designs from hearts to butterflies and dinosaurs to camoflauge ensure any child can find a favorite lunch bag.

The Expression of Freemasonry: Its ritual, oratory, poetry, music, literature, art and architecture
Conference Date:
Date Submitted:
Announcement ID:
The Leiden University in the Netherlands will host an academic conference on the subject of 'The Expression of Freemasonry: Its ritual, oratory, poetry, music, literature, art and architecture'. Papers are invited from students and scholars of all disciplines.
For centuries freemasons have led a separate creative existence behind closed doors. The rituals, orations and poetry used in the lodge use words to express the society's hopes, aspirations, philosophy and approach to religion and society. The music of the lodge includes songs and larger scale cantatas. Many lodges had an orchestra or at least and organist and a choir. Orchestral and piano pieces without words but incorporating Masonic symbolism have also been composed for lodge use. As well as musicians actors have always found a home in the lodge and some masonic plays even found their way onto the public stage as did some operas. These songs, poems, musical works and dramas range from the amusing to the serious, from the occasional to the esoteric, from bawdy to deeply religious. Freemasonry and esoteric themes have been widely used by authors in the 19th century in Germany and elsewhere for literary works as well as in our own time in e.g. The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. Masonic and esoteric influences are also to be seen in the visual arts; for example paintings and theatre scenery. Freemasonry has exerted an important influence on architecture in general and in the design of lodge buildings in particular. A perhaps unexpected influence is to be seen in garden design where some gardens take the visitor on a journey past masonic or esoteric symbols.
All of these various aspects of Masonic culture need to be recorded and interpreted. And when this vast creative effort by members of a closed brotherhood is set in the wider context of the time, place and the society in which masons wrote and created it sheds light on the evolving place of freemasonry in society as a whole. This causes us to ask questions such as 'did freemasonry influence social development directly or indirectly or was it itself led by the great upheavals of the Enlightenment, revolutions and wars that have beset the last centuries?'
The conference is organized by the Chair for the Study of Freemasonry as an Intellectual Current and a Socio-cultural Phenomenon at the Leiden University in the Netherlands. Speakers will be scholars and students from several academic disciplines. The conference has the support of The Order of Freemasons under the Grand East of The Netherlands, The Cultural Masonic Centre 'Prince Frederik' (CMC), The Foundation for the Advancement of Academic Research into the History of Freemasonry in The Netherlands (OVN), The Leiden Institute for the Study of Religions (LISOR), The Sub Department History of Hermetic Philosophy and Related Currents (Univ. of Amsterdam) and departments in other universities.
Call for papers and registration
A summary of potential papers is invited, not exceeding 400 words. Papers on the cultural heritage of movements similar or related to freemasonry including esoteric groups are also welcome. A short CV of 250 words or less must be added. The closing date for submissions is Friday 11 July, 2008. The Conference committee will inform speakers if their concept for a paper has been accepted by 1 August 2008.
The conference will take place in the Lipsius Building of the Leiden University in the Netherlands. The event will be accessible to all who are interested in attending, but due to a limited number of seats registration will be required. Registration fees will be announced shortly. For more information or preliminary registration, please contact the conference organizers at: firstname.lastname@example.com
Coinciding events/opportunities
The conference will be preceded by the inaugural lecture of Professor Malcolm Davies, Chair for the Study of Freemasonry (as an Intellectual Current and a Socio-cultural European Phenomenon) at the University of Leiden on
25 November 2008.
Scholars who are considering attending both events may also be interested in visiting (at their own opportunity) the important major historical collections for the study of freemasonry and western esotericism in The Netherlands: the Cultural Masonic Centre 'Prince Frederik' (The library of the Dutch Grand Lodge) in The Hague and/or the Bibliotheca Philosophica Hermetica in Amsterdam. Seating at the inaugural lecture is limited. If you would be interested in attending the lecture please contact:

This is a Photoshop/Illustrator combo. I created the text in Illustrator (Helvetica Black Condensed) and used the warp tool to roughly round off some of the corners. I also created the stitching in Illustrator but added a pattern overlay in Photoshop for subtle thread texture.
All other texture is created in Photoshop.

To the Editor:—
I read with interest the editorial entitled "A Screening Test for Pulmonary Embolism" (199:576, 1967). I should like, however, to refer the readers to a paper entitled "Post-Operative Changes in Regional Pulmonary Blood Flow" by Lester Bryant.1 Bryant made it quite clear that the incidence of false positives was very high. Ninety-seven patients were studied with photoscans, and 12 of these patients showed evidence suggestive of pulmonary embolism. However, only two patients did indeed have an embolus. Therefore, as suggested by Bryant, the photoscan is only of value when there is a normal study, for this rules out pulmonary embolism as a diagnostic consideration.Any institution equipped for the performance or interpretation of photoscans should be, or in all likelihood is, capable of performing pulmonary arteriography. Highly specialized personnel is not a prerequisite, for even I, as a thoracic surgeon and indeed even some radiologists can

Opening night was great! This is a small theater and there is not a bad seat in the house.
Acting and dancing were moving.
Great performance.

This was an awesome play, they did and excellent job. This is a part of U.S. history I know very little about, now I am more enlightened. Would highly recommend!

I agree with the reviews I read. The actors were perfect, and the dancers were amazing, but the storyline was complex and combursome. I found myself spending too much energy concentrating and listening carefully to the dialogue. The story was...continued

I like the flare here with the couple kissing. Check the off-camera flash's position though - there's a shadow from his collar which cuts through his jawline.

The Chicago Young Republicans (CYRs) have been recognized as the best large YR group in the nation by the National Federation of Young Republicans at their 2016 Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C. In addition, for the third year in a row, the CYRs won an award for maintaining the best digital/social media presence and ChicagoYRs.com won Outstanding Club Website.
These awards further validate all the work the group has done over the past year to recruit and activate new members, manage overall communications and organize meetings, happy hours and large events throughout the city.
The CYRs will continue to build upon past successes in the run up to the 2016 Presidential race as well as the federal, state and local races in Illinois.
CYRs have been consistently recognized by Young Republican peers across the nation as well as local organizations as a premiere YR organization:
WGN Radio's Brandon Campbell talks with Chicago Young Republicans about what makes them swing to the right, their hopes for Illinois and why Governor-Elect Bruce Rauner is the right fit for Illinois: featuring President Jeff Halm, Vice President Jillian Bernas and Executive Secretary John Giokaris!

Five regional sites will be open every day, from Oct. 20 through Nov. 2 with Sunday hours and evening hours during the final week of Early Voting. Only at these five sites, listed below, hours will be:
Voters registered in the City of Chicago may use any Early Voting site in the city, regardless of where the voters live.
Ballots cast in Early Voting are final. After casting ballots in Early Voting, voters may not return to amend, change or undo a ballot for any reason. It is a felony to vote more than once -- or to attempt to vote more than once -- in the same election.
Voters don't need a reason or excuse to use Early Voting.
ID is not required; however, we advise each voter to have ID in the event there is a question about the registration. All Early Voting sites will serve as "grace period registration" sites where voters may register for the first time or update the name or address on their existing registrations. Learn more about Grace Period registration.

I've searched this newsgroup looking for comparisons and opinions on these two machines, just can't decide which way to go based on their brochures.
My requirement is for a AC/DC TIG for the home workshop, have 3 phase and water close at hand so Inverter not necessary. Combination of Ali and Steel, some stainless, very thin (seam welding car bodies) to fab work about 4mm thick steel and 3mm thick Ali. Would like pulse and Slope control, so optional boards needed in both machines.
If anyone can please point me to any comparisons or provide first hand experience comparing the two I would be very grateful.
Reliability is very important as although the unit may not be used regularly, when I want to do something I don't want to have to wait for it to be fixed, even under warranty.
Tks in advance.
John Allen New Zealand
An inverter has other benefits to AC TIG welding than power efficiency. It alows you to control the AC output frequency for greater control on aluminum fillet welds.
However a transformer machine is often more cost effective.
I have heard good things about the Lincoln Precisiontig 275, but I do not believe it is superior to the Miller Syncrowave 250DX. I have had my Syncro 250DX for 6 months and it is simply wonderful.
If you plan on seam welding sheet metal you will definitely want the sequencer unit added. All you have to do is put a small contact button on your torch handle to trigger a weld sequence.
It is so liberating to get away from a foot pedal.
I still use the foot pedal for heavy stuff or casting repairs, where you need to vary your amperage often, but for thinwall tubing and sheetmetal the sequencer is a godsend.
The guys i know who fix welding machines prefer the way that Miller builds their machines. They are much easier to diagnose if something goes wrong and the assembly makes more sense.

The Owen County track team hosted their final meet of the season on Friday. Both the boys and the girls were dominant as they handily defeated the competition of Pendleton County, Frankfort, Williamstown and Carroll County.
In the girls meet, the Lady Rebels won with a total of 249 points. Pendleton County was a distant second with 84 points. A Lady Rebel would finish first in 14 of 17 events. In the three events they did not win they were second.
The Lady Rebels were on the diamond twice last week as they played a game on the road and at home.
The week began last Monday with a trip to Independence to take on Simon Kenton. The two teams had played three times with the Lady Pioneers winning each time since 2000. Owen County would break the trend as they picked up a 7-5 win. Megan Wilhoite earned the win on the mound. Reagan Sutton had two hits including a homerun. Micaela Wilhoite also had a couple of knocks and drove in a run. Katelyn Parker, Blair Harris and Selena Smith each had RBIs.
The Owen County baseball team picked up a victory in their only contest last week.
The Rebels hosted Frankfort on Thursday. On a day that felt more suitable for a football game, Owen County managed to hang six runs on the board as they shutout the Panthers 6-0. Nolan Tackett tossed a complete game shutout, striking out 12 in the process. He also picked up a hit and scored a run. Michael Stewart found a variety of ways to reach base as he had a hit, walked and was hit by a pitch. The senior, also drove in a run.
The basketball season may be over the celebration of the 2015-2016 season is not.
In recognition of the outstanding season the Rebels had this past year and to thank their very supportive fan base, the public is invited to enjoy one last special evening with the team at 7 p.m., Thursday, May 12 in the Floyd Gritton Gymnasium.
The Owen County Judo team brought home at the gold at the 2016 O.J. Helvey Kentucky State Judo Championship on Saturday, April 22, at the high school.
The Owen County team earned 84 points in the competition while Bowling Green Judo earned 54 points and finished in second place. Wakaishu Judo of Louisville took home third with 35 points.
Weather played havoc with the Owen County baseball team last week.
The Rebels were only able to get one game in and it took place on the road in Bedford Thursday evening. The contest against the Raiders was a back and forth game that saw Trimble County pull out the 5-4 win in their final at bat. Cameron McAnally struck out 14 Trimble County batters in the defeat.
The loss dropped Owen County to 10-9 overall on the season.
The Owen County track team had a short night last Tuesday in Georgetown.
The team traveled to take part in the Scott County All-Comers meet. Just a few events were completed before the meet was called due to inclement weather.
Results included Makenzie Duncan finishing third in the 100-meter hurdles. The 4x800 meter relay team placed fourth. Allison Burford was seventh in the discus while Molly Gamble and Duncan tied for first in the high jump.
The Owen County softball team was on the field twice last week. The Lady Rebels fell in one game and picked up a win in the other.
Their first game came against Trimble County last Monday at home. The Lady Rebels were able to put six runs on the board but saw the Lady Raiders perform better at the plate winning 10-6. Baleigh Young collected three hits and drove in three runs. It was the fourth straight time Trimble County has defeated Owen County. The last win by the Lady Rebels came on May 15, 2013, when the Lady Rebels won 2-0 in Bedford.
Senior Vince Toftness signed his letter of intent to play basketball for the Asbury Eagles Friday at Owen County High School. Standing in the back row are Eagles head coach Will Shouse, Rebels head coach Devin Duvall and OCHS Athletic Director T.J. Wesselman.
The Owen County baseball team had the bats going early and often last week. They won four of the five games they played by a combined score of 45-6.
The week started with a trip to Florence to take on Villa Madonna. Against the Blue Lightning, it was the Rebels who had all the thunder at the plate as they scored 11 times. Senior Michael Dunaway did the rest as he held the home team hitless to record the first no-hitter of his high school career. Owen County won the game 11-0.

[Hook: 50 Cent]
God gave me style, God gave me grace
God give me style, God give me grace
God put a smile on my face
Ha-ha, God put this smile on my face
God make me shine like the sun
God make me shine like the sun
Sometimes I feel like I'm the one
Sometimes I feel like I'm the one
[Bridge: 50 Cent]
It ain't my fault, I just reach for style
I'm hot, I breaks it down
It ain't my fault, you can't break it down
The way I break it down
"God Gave Me Syle" is the 19th track off of 50 cent's sophomore album, "The Massacre".
The song is about how much 50 feels blessed by the Lord, even with all the struggles he had to go through.
The song samples "Each Day I Cry A Little" by Eddie Kendricks and "God Put a Smile On My Face" by Coldplay.

obvious troll is obvious
What if they added, like, space type? Just think about it. Deoxys and Rayquaza, Cleffa/Clefairy/Clefable, Musharna/Munna, Lunatone and Solrock, [Don't forget most pink pokemon that evolve from a moon stone, I still don't know why they do that...) plus a new, at minimum 100 'mons. (I'm not saying 100 space types, I'm saying that's the smallest Pokedex they can make.) Plus they could make moves like cosmic power or moonlight space type... But sunny day would be pushing it... I'm just saying space/meteor type has potential in Pokemon...
"Space", as in everythin' beyond earth, ain't really applicable to be a whole type. In a way it would make more sense for a 'Mon like Deoxys, but I don't feel it'd fit in well. Outer space can't really be pinned as elemental in nature (Fire, Electric) or physical matter (Steel, Grass). Don't feel like it'd makes sense as a categorical type like Fighting, Dark or Dragon neither. Furthermore, types usually aren't decided by where a Pokemon comes from or lives moreso than why it lives there. For example, Water types aren't classified as such just 'cause they live in a body of water. Palkia sure as shit doesn't live in water, yet it's got Water typing.
The only new thing that would ever work as a type is light. Everything else won't work.
I do too, actually.

Kerrelyn Sparks: Less Than a Gentleman
One of Houston's most popular authors, Kerrelyn Sparks, signs and discusses her latest release, Less Than a Gentleman. Sparks, who is well known as a paranormal writer (she does lots of romantic comedy with vampires), began her career writing historical romance novels such as Less Than a Gentleman, which follows the dashing rogue Matthias Murray Thomas, a freedom fighter during the American Revolution, and Caroline Munro, a woman he persuades to pose as his fiancée. We don't really have to tell you the rest, do we? They fall in love. A lot. And they misread each other's signals. A lot. And since this is a Sparks novel, they make readers laugh. A lot. Sparks shares the podium with fellow writers Lily Dalton (Never Desire a Duke) and Shana Galen (True Spies).
6:30 p.m. Murder by the Book, 2342 Bissonnet. For information, call 713-524-8597 or visit murderbooks.com. Free.

When choosing a car transport company you need to make sure that this service is also reliable. Below are some pointers of what you should look out for when choosing a car transport service:
- The best way to know that a service is reliable is by looking for recommendations. Start by asking close friends and family members if they have had an experience of a car transport service. If not, try ringing local car garages to ask for their opinions.
- Search online. Take to the internet and look for UK car transport services, especially those that have customer reviews on their website or on review websites.
- Pick the right car transport services for your vehicle. For example, if you have a classic or antique vehicle you will want to find car transport company that specialises in these types of transport services.
- Obtain a number of car transport quotes so that you can be sure you are getting the best deal. Also remember to ask what type of deposit is required and whether they accept cash, cheques or card payments.
- When choosing the transport company for the job make sure that you obtain proof that they are licensed and insured; you want to make sure that your vehicle is in safe hands!
Now that you have chosen the right transportation company for the job and have your car all ready and prepped to go, don't forget these tips in order to make sure that your car reaches its destination successfully:
- Before signing anything with your chosen transport company you need to read the contract through thoroughly and make sure you know your rights, in case anything should go wrong.
- Are you satisfied with the level of insurance? Makes sure you know the ins and outs of what your car is covered for during transport, including damage and missing parts etc.
- When you receive you car at the end of transport, make sure that you inspect all parts of the car – inside and out – before signing the delivery receipt. If the transport company is trying to deliver your car without letting you see it first, this could be a sign that some damage has been caused during transit.
- Take another set of pictures to compare against the ones taken prior to transport. Also remember to check the meter reading against those that you took before using the car transport service.
- Make sure to obtain the set of keys given to the car transport service and any other belongings that were given to the company along with the car.
Using a car transport service is one of the safest ways to move your vehicle over long distances. Although accidents rarely happen in transit, it is important to take precautions and document any changes made to the interior and exterior of your car, both for peace of mind and in case you may need to claim against any damage.
By following the tips above you will be able to choose the best car transport service for the job and make sure that your vehicle gets from A to B with no problems.

Name: Jennie Proto
Graduation Year: 2009
College: Elon University 2013
Travel Experience: London, England 2010, Mexico, Canada, Puerto Rico, Aruba, Bahamas
Email: email@example.com
On January 2, 2010, I found myself at Raleigh-Durham International airport about ready to board a plane that would cross the Atlantic Ocean and eventually land at London's Heathrow Airport. I remember looking around easily picking out the Elon students who were going on the trip due to the way they were dressed and all made up, yet I had never met any of them. Although I felt nervous inside, and could feel butterflies swarming around in the pit of my stomach, I realized that this would be the first of many obstacles in this journey abroad, and it was a rather small one. The coursework that we would be doing in London was quite unique and required stepping out of my comfort zone. With the goal in mind of understanding an exceptionally multicultural city, our task was to investigate and research the immigrant communities through meeting, interviewing, and photographing different people who live in the areas. My small group of four was assigned to Mile End, a part of East London that is inhabited largely by Bengalis as well as Jamaicans, South Africans, and Chinese among other ethnicities, races, and religions.
In an area where you see women in headscarves and long skirts, men with long beards and turbans, and people of all ethnicities, I certainly stood out with my pale skin, blond hair, and colorful clothes. I noticed this, and so did the locals. One day, my partner, Courtney, and I were walking down the street and noticed two Muslim girls close to the bus stop that is across the street from the Mile End tube station. They saw instantly that we were out of place. After introducing ourselves to these two girls, Aisha and Nura, they instantly asked us why we were in this neighborhood as they quickly viewed us as innocent in the manner we walked up to them. The girls explained that there are gangs and violence, topics we had heard much about before venturing into the area. Nura said they were "fake gangs," really just groups of boys who think they are tough. Aisha reluctantly accepted this explanation. We later learned that Aisha's hesitance had a certain truth to it. Mile End is known for being a tough area of East London, particularly as a place to grow up. Several gangs, divided up by territory, exist in the area. Although most youth living in Mile End would agree that they wish the violence did not exist, it still continues. The gangs have new members everyday, and fights continues to occur on a daily basis. It is not rare to see police officers at the local schools breaking up physical disagreements or to notice gang markings around the school indicated by the first part of the postal code such as E3.
Although this description makes Mile End to seem grim and bare, there is a silver lining. Certain organizations and individuals work to better the community, and in turn, provide hope for the youth that lives in Mile End. During my fieldwork, I met four individuals who make it their job to reach out to the Mile End community, particularly the youth. Nick and Kerry Coke of the Salvation Army as well as Henk and Gabi from the East London Tabernacle Baptist Church provide opportunities for Mile End's youth to do grow and prosper as confident, well-rounded individuals of London's society. I was able to go to a school, St. Paul's Way Community School, and talk to middle school aged girls. I also met and spoke with boys between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one at a youth club run by the ELT Baptist Church. These boys were all part of a gang, E3, which signifies the area they call home. In both cases, most of them were Bengali, and as a result, Muslim. By speaking with the Cokes about their children's experiences, the girls from St. Paul's Community School, and the boys from the ELT Baptist Church's youth club, it was apparent that the integration of cultures, different life experiences, yet most importantly the care and outreach shown by the Cokes, Henk, and Gabi makes a positive difference in their attitudes.
Although I loved the experience of taking photos and finding my way around the vibrant city of London, it was the opportunity to speak and learn form others that I truly cherish. Who knew a year ago, amidst the dreaded senior finals at Ursuline, that I would be talking with and learning from with Muslim gang members a continent away? And where will I be next year? I am looking forward to finding out and to the process that will bring me there.

This photograph, taken on January 15, 2010, captures Gabi, a young Romanian woman with a fourteen year old Bengali girl, Hasina at St. Paul's Way Community School in Shelmerdine Close, London. Gabi came to London a couple years ago with her husband to study. She also works with the ELT Baptist Church sponsoring youth clubs, including a girls' club that meets every Friday at Hasina's school during lunch time. Gabi describes her work with the girls at St. Paul's as encouragement to be strong women and also to spread the good news of Jesus. Under Gabi's kind guidance and care, the girls are able to have a break from the school day and learn more about each other as well as other ways of thinking. The interaction between Gabi and Hasina shows a deep bond and appreciation for one another.
This photograph, taken on January 19, 2010, captures the Salvation Army officers, Nick and Kerry Coke with their two children, Penny and Henry at their home in Stepney Green, London. The couple moved to the area, which is considered the inner city, from a rather wealthy section of London six years ago when they were asked to start a new branch of the Salvation Army in Stepney and Mile End. Although the Salvation Army had originated in the area; it had sort of disappeared; and it was up to the Cokes to do something with the "fresh sheet of paper" they were given. With the goal in mind to help "transform" the community, one of a complex "ethnic makeup," the Cokes wholeheartedly work and live in the area. Their children, Henry and Penny, are just involved in the community as their parents. They attend state school and participate in the outreach organizations their parents run such as the children's club. Through this photograph, I wanted to portray a family of much love, joy, and understanding that permeates any situation.

This review is from: Mediasonic HomeWorX HW210AN Ultra Thin Indoor Digital HD TV antenna
Pros: It works fine and looks good. It receives same amount of HD channels as the cheap rabbit ear antenna it replaces. But channels are a lot more clear and have way less interference.
Cons: None for the price.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: EVGA GeForce GTX 970 04G-P4-3978-KR 4GB FTW+ GAMING w/ACX 2.0+, Whisper Silent Cooling w/ Free Installed Backplate Graphics Card
Pros: This replaces my two 660TIs in SLI. Not much performance jump from 660TIs in this MMO I play regularly. Then again the particular MMO I play is heavily dependent on CPU. So I didn't really expect much boost anyway. I think I gained a few FPS and graphics seem more alive and vivid. Besides (IMO) MMOs in general rely on a lot of different things to run smoothly such as CPU, amount of memory, your internet speed and stability, the condition of their servers, how they optimize the game, what engine they use..etc..so I don't think swapping out graphic card alone is going to make that much different if you already have somewhat decent and newer graphic card(s).
Cons: None so far.
Other Thoughts: A lot quieter than two 660TIs it replaces. No coin whine so far. Since it's already decently overclocked out of factory I don't bother to tweak..not yet atleast. So fans stay pretty quiet also. Seems to run cool. So far everything is good. Looks very good with backplate. :)READ FULL REVIEW

Pros: No issue. Just work right out of the box. These replace 16 gig of 1600s I have. I popped them in and restarted the pc. Went into Bios to change xmp profile to have them run at 2133 on Gigabyte Z68 board.
Cons: None.
Other Thoughts: They replaced 1600s. I notice web surfing, working in applications and switching between them become a bit snappier and faster.READ FULL REVIEW

Mayor Nutter's office said Tuesday that it had established six centers where residents will be able to get help applying for a host of government benefits, including food stamps, Medicare, and tax breaks.
"Every year, eligible Philadelphia residents leave millions of dollars on the table by not enrolling in critical benefits programs," said Eva Gladstein, who heads the mayor's Office of Community Empowerment and Opportunity.
In response, the city has established BenePhilly, a program that aims to place counselors trained in benefits at existing social-service agencies, including Project HOME and Catholic Social Services. Clients walking into Project HOME, which deals primarily with the homeless, would be made aware of local, state, and federal benefits not directly connected to homelessness, such as help with Medicaid, earned-income tax credits, or winter heating bill assistance.

David A. Love: It is unfortunate that it took an earthquake to put the spotlight back on poverty in Haiti. To be sure, the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that leveled Port-au-Prince would have been devastating under any circumstances. But the people of Haiti had been suffering for years. The difference is that no one cared, because people often become weary hearing about black people suffering.

Irene Monroe: While scientists explain Haiti's recent natural disaster as an earthquake due to a fault it sits on along the border between two large tectonic plates – the North American plate to the north, and the Caribbean plate to the south – that slowly slide horizontally past each other, Robinson explains the disaster as "Something [that] happened a long time ago in Haiti, and people might not want to talk about it."
Haiti's Curse
Sharon Kyle: Televangelist Pat Robertson has claimed that Haitians made a pact with the devil and, as a result, have been cursed by God. Is Haiti cursed? If it is not, who or what is driving the policies that effectively keep Haiti oppressed?
Not Granting Haitian Immigrants Temporary Protection Status After Earthquake Would Be "Not Only Immoral, But Irresponsible"
Andrea Christina Nill: Continuing to deport thousands of Haitian immigrants back to their ravaged home country rather than letting them stay in the U.S. to help their families in Haiti get back on their feet is inconsistent with the promises the Obama administration has already made to the people of Haiti.

OSHA News Release – Region 5
U.S. Department of Labor
Region 5 News Release 304
Date: July 7, 2003
Contact: Brad Mitchell
Phone: 312-353-6976
Company Faces $156,500 Fine for Safety Shortcomings
MILWAUKEE -- Fatal injuries sustained by a foundry worker at Grede Foundries, Inc., Milwaukee Steel Foundry, Milwaukee, might have been avoided if safety procedures for abrasive grinding machinery had been followed, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration of the U.S. Department of Labor. OSHA has proposed a $156,500 fine.
"Protecting the health and safety of workers in America is a chief goal of the U.S. Department of Labor," said U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao. "OSHA's standards prescribe excellent methods to keep workers safe from the hazards associated with grinding wheels, and we will make certain standards are followed."
OSHA's Milwaukee area office director, George Yoksas, said the agency opened an inspection of the foundry following the Jan. 7, 2003 accident that occurred when an abrasive wheel on a stand grinder exploded, propelling fragments that struck the grinder operator. The wheel guard was unable to contain the fragments from the 30 inch by 2 inch abrasive wheel.
As a result of that investigation, OSHA has proposed willful and serious citations alleging the lack of a preventative maintenance program, failure to ensure the grinder was running at an appropriate speed within the grinding wheel tolerance, and issues involving machine guarding and other adjustments to the machine.
The company has 15 working days from receipt of the citations to appeal before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is dedicated to saving lives, preventing injuries and illnesses, and protecting America's workers. Safety and health add value to business, the workplace and life. For more information, visit www.osha.gov.
U.S. Labor Department news releases are accessible on the Internet at www.dol.gov/ebsa.

text: Ducktails, the longtime solo project of Real Estate guitarist Matt Mondanile, has been a blog favorite for his experimentations with jangle-pop, electronic soundscapes and psychedelic guitar music. Apparently not content with being part of one of the best indie-rock bands currently making music, Mondanile has gone and recruited musicians to make Ducktails a full-fledged band instead of just a solo project and 'The Flower Lane' is our first taste of the new Ducktails. Opening with a catchy organ riff, 'The Flower Lane' showcases Ducktails as a band ready to fully embrace a pop-rock sound that was hinted at on his last release Ducktails III: Arcade Dynamics. Although I find myself missing the more experimental side of Ducktails with this track, it's also awesome to hear how Mondanile has grown as a songwriter and there is enough obscure Ducktails releases to satisfy my lo-fi, psychedelic, guitar-instrumental needs for a long time.
