As you may have noticed (you in this case being a loyal follower of this blog, and thus entirely nonexistent), we are… not as professional with the CPGC stuff. The other interns blog every day, we blog every time we feel like it (never). On that note, I have a bit of a problem. The CPGC wants pictures; however, my camera broke down.
So, in keeping with the general level of involvement in CGGC things that I've maintained, I just took a bunch of photos on my cell phone. So instead of glossy, professional level shots of people teaching orphans in Guatemala how to read Chinese (or whatever the kids do these days), I have a bunch of grainy cell phone pictures of me with various Iraqis. Coming soon!

Among VermontersAugust 29,2013
The legacy of Irene is fast becoming lore. The lore is one of heroism, of swift-water rescues and resupply convoys, but it is also one of self-reliance and resilience. The lore that we will pass on to future Vermonters is one of a state that survived the first shock of disaster and kept going.
The response and the recovery were not without missteps and speed bumps like the evacuation of the states emergency command center at the height of the flood, due to flooding. But there is a reason that so many people have referred to the excerpt from a 1928 speech by Calvin Coolidge that concludes: If the spirit of liberty should vanish in other parts of the union, and support of our institutions should languish, it could all be replenished from the generous store held by the people of this brave little state of Vermont.
Coolidges sentiment rang true in 2011 and the years since because when the time came for us to prove ourselves, we didnt shrink from the task. We responded, person by person, town by town, and as a state. That fact is now part of Vermont lore, along with the many stories surrounding the event itself.
There was the second constable of a small, isolated town who patrolled the streets wearing a cowboy hat and packing a sidearm. The woman who clung to the roof of her car for four hours, after it was washed up against a tree in the middle of the flood. The utility workers who clambered on foot through the mountains to plan the restoration of power, or rode in via back roads and trails to isolated towns. The man who drove his backhoe into the flood to rescue the neighbors from their mobile home park, until the backhoe was submerged and died.
The restaurants and inns that opened their doors and their kitchens to neighbors and strangers alike, and the National Guardsmen and women who were called up for a deployment close to home. There was a New York stockbroker, who, stranded while attending a wedding, ordered up a helicopter to rescue him and his family from the suddenly isolated mountain town. He missed out on seeing the real beauty of Vermont the people.
Songs, books, YouTube videos and Twitter accounts sprang up in the wake of the flood, but the damage remained and the story of the long recovery, while not as charming, should carry equal weight. The lore became not just about the first responders, but the second and third responders, and the people who kept responding, day after day, month after month, and now, year after year.
In many parts of the state, the recovery goes on, and is far from over. Riverbanks still bear the wounds of high water and the scars of riprap; there are still skeletons of homes sitting among silt and tangled debris, rotting. There are people who have managed to keep their heads above water but are still in danger of being overwhelmed by the devastation that Irene wrought.
The recovery goes on.
We learned that the might of the federal government is nearly useless in the face of what a small, cohesive town can accomplish; we learned that without the support of the federal government, those same small towns would be crushed financially by the costs of recovery and repair. We learned that we can accomplish far more than we typically think is possible, and that when the typical barriers between public and private are blurred, we can get things done faster although not necessarily the best way.
Its possible, in many parts of the state, to think the long slog is behind us. The federal buyouts of ruined properties which had to remain untouched, falling apart, through the two-year buyout process, due to regulations stood as a stark reminder that the might of the United States can be slowed to a crawl by its own Byzantine bureaucracy, while the volunteer-led local efforts had roads rebuilt and rescue routes in place within a matter of hours or days of the flood. The state did learn how to overcome both natural disasters and the inertia of a bulky bureaucracy both in road building and how we array our forces in response to floods or other events. The case officers who have been the quarterbacks of the recovery will stay in place not dispersed, but ready.
Years from now, it will be the start of many a story Where were you during Irene?

Laurier business professors accept editorial roles for international publications
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Oct 29/10
Laurier Associate Professor of Marketing Chatura Ranaweera has been named co-editor of Managing Service Quality (MSQ), an international academic business journal. Ranaweera, along with his co-editor Marianna Sigala from the University of the Aegean in Greece, will begin handling all new submissions to the journal Nov. 1.
MSQ, now in its 20th year, publishes six issues annually. In 2009, MSQ had more than 325,000 article downloads and in 2010, it was accepted for inclusion in the Thompson Reuters Social Science Citation Index.
It is an exciting time to be associated with MSQ since the journal has just been indexed, said Ranaweera. MSQ has always played an important role among journals in this field, in that its industry-relevant research caters to both academic and practitioner audiences. I am extremely glad to have an opportunity to continue that editorial philosophy.
The marketing area of Lauriers School of Business & Economics is associated with another academic publication: the Journal of Business Venturing (JBV). Professor Nicole Coviello has been associate editor for all international entrepreneurship papers since Sept. 2009.
JBV is a top-ranked journal in entrepreneurship and is used by the Financial Times to assess the quality of MBA programs and their faculty members.
This December, Coviello will travel to India with members of JBVs international editorial board to help the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) and the Strategic Management Society of India develop research programs in entrepreneurship.
The IIM in Bangalore is one of Indias elite business schools and it will be very exciting to see what they are doing as a leading institution that competes on the world stage, said Coviello.

During my biennial spring cleaning, I unearthed concert ticket stubs carbon-dated to the 70s.
Although I was there, I don't remember some. Others are indelible.
At Eric Clapton's 2004 Crossroads Guitar Festival in Dallas, I saw
Clapton, Santana, Jeff Beck, Joe Walsh, John Mayer, Buddy Guy, James Taylor, Pat Metheny, Bo Diddley, ZZ Top, Booker T & the MGs, Robert Cray, B.B. King and many others.
My most lasting memory, besides women in bikinis, was the vintage guitar exhibit featuring Clapton's "Layla," Harrison's "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," Lennon's "Give Peace a Chance" and King's "The Thrill is Gone."
The first stadium-concert I saw was Three Dog Night in the early 70s at the Cotton Bowl. The opening act was Lobo ("Me and You and a Dog Named Boo").
On the way my '67 Camaro broke down in a rough part of Dallas. My young, attractive date's main concern was whether we'd miss Lobo.
Thanks to three young black men's mechanical skills, we made it.
Foggy tales about Yes, Joe Cocker, The Moody Blues, Creedence, The Kinks, Dr. Hook, J. Geils Band, Paul McCartney, Fleetwood Mac, Rare Earth, Bob Dylan, Elton John, Steppenwolf, Crosby, Stills and Nash, The Grass Roots, Spirit, Mountain, Jefferson Airplane, Nazareth, Bruce Springsteen, The Cars, Jethro Tull, The Rolling Stones and Burl Ives will have to wait until my memory clears.
Actually, I do remember Ives' luncheon concert ("Jimmy Crack Corn").

Commissioner Dennis DeWitt made the motion Friday to go forward with the proposed tax rate of $0.44564 per $100 property valuation.
"You see your rollback rate is lower than the rate that was adopted last year," said Linda Bridge, county tax assessor collector.
Last year, the county leaders adopted a tax rate of $0.460. The tax rate in 2012 was $0.498.
Judge David Silva, during Friday's meeting, was pleased to offer the tax rate lower than the prior year, praising the departments leaders for keeping expenses and needs in line with the county budget.
He did offer a word of warning to those on the court as they prepared to go back into budget discussions.
"We are going to get $1.057 million of new money," he said.
"However we did amend the current budget right at half a million dollars. That new money, half of it, is already all gone."
That money was used to offer raises to jailers. Commissioners increased the salary of jailers about $4,000 from $23K to $27K.
The $500,000 Silva referenced included a payout of compensatory time accumulated by jailers that has occurred over the years.
That leaves the county with only half of the increase left on the books.
"It is new money and we will be able to do some things," he said.
Those watching the newspaper for legal notices about sales tax will see an easier to read form but it will only be published once.
Bridge said, "Normally in the past, there are three publications. The law changed as of this last legislative session.
It is a one-page notice that will go in the newspaper. This change affects only the county and city if the notice is published before Sept. 1.
"It just states the rate, how you can calculate what your taxes will be on your property and it lists two public hearing dates."
The two meetings are scheduled for Aug. 25 and Sept. 8, both at 10 a.m. in the commissioners courtroom.

I see PC CPU market slowering in terms of performance thanks to AMD lack of needed products.
Intel Corp.'s attempts to lower power consumption of its chips aimed at ultrabooks and eventually at media tablets and smartphones inevitably bring fruits to desktop personal computers as well. Based on unofficial information, the company's next-generation Ivy Bridge microprocessor will have substantially lower thermal design power compared to the existing desktop chips.
Initially believed to be an evolutionary step from the Core i-series "Sandy Bridge" microprocessors, the Core i-series "Ivy Bridge" central processing units (CPUs) will be much more than just a "tick" in Intel's roadmap. Apparently, the chips, in addition to all major innovations that Intel installed into it, will have numerous power management improvements that will reduce nominal thermal design power of high-performance Ivy Bridge desktop CPUs to 77W, according to a slide that resembles those from Intel's presentations published by ChipHell web-site.
For several years Intel's performance mainstream and performance microprocessors had TDP of around 95W. For example, Intel's current top-of-the-range "non extreme" quad-core Core i7-2600K microprocessor with unlocked multiplier has 95W thermal design power, just like its lower-end brethren. By contrast, the future Intel Core i7-3000K "Ivy Bridge" chips will have 77W default thermal design power, which means lower overall power consumption as well as quieter operation of the whole PC system.
In addition to high-performance Core i7-series "Ivy Bridge" chips with 77W TDP, Intel will introduce Core i5 and Core i3 "Ivy Bridge" quad-core microprocessors with 65W and 45W thermal design power as well as dual-core processors with 55W and 35W thermal envelopes. Previously, Intel recommended to use notebook-oriented 35W processors for low-power performance desktops.
Reduced power consumption does not mean lower overclockability or lower Turbo Boost improvements. Thanks to configurable thermal design power feature, system makers and end-users will be able to increase or reduce TDP in order to allow chips to more significantly increase clock-speeds in Turbo Boost mode or disable automatic overclocking in order to squeeze the chips into smaller form-factors.
Ivy Bridge will generally inherit Sandy Bridge micro-architecture and will sport a rather significant number of improvements. Firstly, it will have certain improvements that will boost its performance in general applications by around 20% compared to Core i "Sandy Bridge" chips (e.g., enhanced AVX acceleration). Secondly, the forthcoming chip will have a new graphics core with DirectX 11 and OpenCL 1.1 support, 30% higher performance compared to the predecessor as well as new video processor and display controllers. Thirdly, Ivy Bridge will feature PCI Express 3.0 x16 interconnection as well as PCIe 2.0 x4 controller. In fourth, the processor will support a number of power management innovations. The CPU is made using 22nm process technology.
Intel will release its code-named Ivy Bridge central processing units for desktops in March or April, 2012.

Springfield, Ill. – The Illinois State Board of
Education today announced a third round of Reading First
Grants. The funding is awarded to Illinois Schools for
implementing innovative reading programs and promoting
student achievement.
Twenty Illinois schools districts will share almost $38
million through the federal No Child Left Behind's
Reading First Program. The grant awards are designed to
improve reading achievement in grades pre-kindergarten
through third by implementing a classroom reading program
based on phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary development,
reading fluency and reading strategies.
"It is critical that all children learn to read
well at an early age," said Randy Dunn, State School
Superintendent. "Every child deserves the opportunity
to learn to read and succeed in school--indeed, reading
is the basis for so much future success in school--and
Reading First Grants will give many more young students
that chance."
These grant awards will allow these 20 school districts
to participate in the Reading First Program during the
remainder of FY06 and FY07. These same districts may be
offered continuation of funding in Reading First through
FY09 contingent upon documentation of satisfactory program
implementation and positive student reading outcomes.
The districts receiving third round Reading First
Grants include:
The focus of the Illinois Reading First grant is to support
districts and schools in their efforts to implement a
comprehensive reading program for K- 3 students that is
grounded in scientifically based reading research (SBRR)
and scientifically based reading instruction. The program
will assist school districts in applying this research
in the classroom, including proven instructional and assessment
tools, in order to teach all children to read well.
The "Reading First" grants will be
used to:
The Reading First Program, is a six-year, six-billion-dollar
program that provides grants to states to target their
most disadvantaged school districts with funds to pay
for professional development for reading teachers, instructional
materials, and assessment tools that will improve the
quality and effectiveness of reading instruction for all
K-3 students.

What a clever teaching toy!
By Best Aunt Ever
from Oak Creek, WI
I love giving this item as a gift! Recently, I purchased this for my friend's 4 year old child. She loved being able to "cut" the fruits and veggies. She immediately grabbed the play knife and started slicing. The sound and the slicing action made her smile and giggle. In addition to the motor skill activities we did, it also gave us the opportunity to do some basic math, patterning / sorting plus some good old fashioned play.I would recommend this to anyone looking for a unique gift for a birthday or holiday.

Many of you have reached out and asked about using the Master Cleanse specifically for weight loss. It happens to be one of the most effective ways to lose weight fast, but there's some important steps you need to follow. Do it wrong and your metabolism will slow down and take forever to get back up - I'll show you a simple way to lose weight with the Master Cleanse that will keep metabolism running high and burning fat. There's a lot of dangerous information online about how to do this. I'll show you the safe, healthy way to do it.
Raylen Sterling
Publisher of the Master Cleanse Secrets newsletter
Dear Reader,
If you're thinking about trying the Master Cleanse please take a moment to read this important letter to see if it's right for you.
It's true the Master Cleanse can help you lose up to 20 pounds, look younger, ease chronic pain, cleanse your body of internal waste, and boost your energy levels in 10 days but...
Most People Don't Last 1 Day On The Master Cleanse
You know the saying - "if it was easy everyone would be doing it". Well dear reader that saying holds true with the Master Cleanse as well. Now don't up and leave this site just yet because I'm going to be showing you how to make the Master Cleanse much more "doable".
I've shared these tips with people who could never come close to finishing the Master Cleanse, and they went on to breeze right through the entire 10 days.
You won't find this information any place else.
But before we get to that lets take a closer look at how the Master Cleanse works and what it can do for you.
The Master Cleanse Recipe - How To Make The Lemonade
Here's the recipe for making the Master Cleanse lemonade:
- 2 Tablespoons of organic lemon juice
- 2 Tablespoons of organic grade B maple syrup
- 1/10 Teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 10 oz of filtered water
That recipe is for a single serving of lemonade, and you should drink 6-12 servings a day. You can also make up a big batch by multiplying that recipe by however many servings you plan on drinking which is what I like to do. Just make sure you keep it refrigerated, and don't make more than one days supply because you want the lemonade to be as fresh as possible when you drink it.
You might be wondering about how the lemonade tastes. The cayenne pepper is a real concern for some people, but the lemonade is surprisingly tasty. The cayenne pepper gives the lemonade a nice kick.
What if you don't like spicy drinks? Here's a tip: Take two cayenne pepper capsules with each glass of lemonade instead of mixing the ground cayenne pepper into the drink. You can find cayenne pepper capsules at most health food and vitamin stores for around $5 a bottle.
Now most people will take that recipe and jump right in to the Master Cleanse. That's a big mistake. There's more to the Master Cleanse then the average person might think. Before you decide to try the Master Cleanse you need to know:
- How to prepare yourself before starting the cleanse
- What to do during the Master Cleanse to reduce side effects, or avoid them all together
- What to do after the Master Cleanse because you don't want to go back to your old diet right after the cleanse
- And finally, how to keep the results you got long after you've finished the Master Cleanse - this ones important!
When you know all these things you'll have a much easier time finishing the Master Cleanse, and you'll benefit more than those who don't.
Speaking of benefits let's take a look at what the Master Cleanse can do for you.
10 Days To A Whole New You
As soon as you start the Master Cleanse your body will begin a process of rapid detoxing and rejuvenation. The changes you'll experience happen fast--so fast you're bound to get the WOW! response from the people you know.
Don't be surprised if a few people pull you aside and secretly ask if you've had some "work done".
Like I said the changes happen FAST.
Here's what you can expect when you do the Master Cleanse
- You'll normalize your appetite and metabolism so your body can comfortably adjust to it's ideal weight for your size naturally
- Your suppressed hormone levels will be restored so every cell in your body will be charged with youth giving and feel good hormones
- There will be a natural shift away from unhealthy habits--without will power
- You'll cleanse and detox your entire body--the pounds of waste built up over the years will be released in just 10 days
- Reduced internal inflammation, which will ease aching joints
- Your energy levels will soar
- And much more...
For some people this sounds almost too good to be true, that you could experience such amazing benefits in just 10 days, but the secrets behind the Master Cleanse is a simple one...
It Restores Your Body To It's Normal, Healthy State
No other animal on this planet could survive if they ate what we ate. Heck, even humans who come from indigenous parts of the world become deathly ill when they adopt the "Western" diet.
That's why for the first time in human history our life expectancy is decreasing!
Our bodies are sick and polluted--and just like any machine that's been neglected and mistreated it's not running at peak efficiency.
The Master Cleanse can change that in just 10 days.
There's no magic to the Master Cleanse--it simply flushes out the internal waste that's putting a huge burden on every organ in your body.
This internal waste does more then just clog up your colon. As you'll discover in this quote from Dr Bernard Jensen internal waste poisons your entire body:
"The heavy mucus coating in the colon thickens and becomes a host of putrefaction. The blood capillaries to the colon begin to pick up the toxins, poisons and noxious debris as it seeps through the bowel wall. All tissues and organs of the body are now taking on toxic substances. Here is the beginning of true autointoxication on a physiological level."
~ Dr Bernard Jensen, DC, ND, Ph.D.
What Dr Jensen calls "autointoxication" is when your body becomes so polluted that you slowly begin to poison yourself from the inside.
Thankfully the Master Cleanse can eliminate waste in just 10 days, and reverse a lot of the damage its caused to your body.
Pounds Of Putrid Waste Eliminated For Good
Until now people who suffer with weight problems have been told they are the way they are because they eat too much and don't exercise.
When you tell people that diet and exercise aren't working for you, everyone assumes you're secretly cheating - that you're lazy - or that you don't have the willpower to stick to a diet.
They're wrong!
The toxic substances you consume daily are suppressing your body's natural ability to operate at 100%. They lower your metabolism so that no matter how little you eat you will always stay fat.
When you flush these toxins out of your body you'll automatically start to lose weight.
It's common to pass pounds of waste in just 10 days on the Master Cleanse, and not the normal kind of waste. It's often black as tar -- The hardened phlegm and mucus comes out like long chunks of rubber -- The waste comes out holding the shape of the inside of your intestine because it's been inside you for years.
It's also common to pass marble sized gallstones which are green and yellow balls of hardened cholesterol that can block the bile ducts from the liver to the small intestine which can be fatal if you don't remove them.
How can you live with all this sickening waste clogging up your body?
I know it's gross, but as you begin to expel this waste you'll feel absolutely amazing. Your body will hum with a lightness and renewed energy that you can't get from drugs, exercise, supplements, or any colon cleansing kit.
You're Ready To Do The Master Cleanse - Here's What To Expect
As the Master Cleanse starts to work at rapidly cleansing and restoring your body to its natural state of health you'll often notice pounds of weight dropping off every day, some people lose as much as 1 or 2 pounds per day. Your complexion will brighten as the elasticity in your skin is restored, giving you a more youthful appearance.
People have seen chronic aches and pains completely cured after just 10 days, and felt their energy levels go through the roof.
It's a total body rejuvenation. in just 10 days - without drugs - without plastic surgery - without expensive spa treatments - and without having to work your butt off in the gym.
Here's how it works...
The specific ingredients in the Master Cleanse enhance your body's natural cleansing systems. You already know you'll eliminate pounds of internal mucus and compacted fecal material that sticks to your insides sapping your health and vitality.
But that's not even the best part...
Seeing all that internal crud come pouring out of your body is very motivating (in a gross sort of way), but the best part of the Master Cleanse is not something you'll see, but you'll definitely feel it.
I'm talking about the cleansing and restoring of your bodies glandular system.
Your bodies glandular system is made up of a series of glands that secrete hormones that regulate and control your bodies most vital functions. Things like your metabolism, sex drive, energy levels, mood, muscle building, fat storing, aging, and much more.
These tiny glands run your body
Thanks to all the chemicals and toxic garbage found in our food, air, and water our glandular system is weak and crippled. These vital glands are not functioning at 100% and that's why so many people today are depressed, over weight, have no energy, and get sick all the time.
They don't have any juice!
The Master Cleanse restores these vital glands and gets them working like they should, and you won't believe what a difference it makes!
Every cell of your body will be bathed with these restoring and feel good hormones. Your metabolism, your mood, your sex drive, your energy levels, and many other important bodily functions will be restored to where they should be.
You'll be charged up and bursting with energy!
With all that can be had by spending just 10 days on the Master Cleanse you're probably wondering what the catch is. The truth is the original Master Cleanse can be absolutely grueling to get through, most people don't last one day on it.
But a lot has changed in the decades years since the original Master Cleanse was first introduced, and now you don't have to suffer with the old way of doing the Master Cleanse.
They Desperately Wanted a Shortcut, and I gave it To Them
My Master Cleanse Secrets Newsletter is read by over 73,000 amazing people who are passionate about their health.
Every day my email box rings with heart felt letters of gratitude form people who've experienced miraculous results with the Master Cleanse even when conventional medicine and other natural remedies failed them.
But my newsletter subscribers don't always send words of praise. In fact, the one thing I receive more then anything is questions... lots and lots of questions about making the Master Cleanse easier and more effective.
They ask...
- This hunger is driving me crazy. I'm dying for a snack, is there anything I can eat while on the Master Cleanse?
- How can I use the Master Cleanse to lose weight?
- Can you help me get past the first 3 days on the Master Cleanse? (The first 3 days are the hardest, once you get past those your body adapts to the cleanse, and it gets easier)
- I feel famished and depleted what can I do?
- My joints are sore and my body aches, is there any way to deal with these side effects?
I understand what they're going through, the original Master Cleanse book by Stanley Burroughs doesn't tell you how to get past these roadblocks preventing you from experiencing all the Master Cleanse has to offer. I should know, my early attempts at the Master Cleanse were pure misery - I couldn't escape the hunger, headaches, and the overwhelming desire to quit.
But I've learned a lot since then. Tricks, techniques, and even a few secrets that can make your Master Cleanse experience more comfortable. And I want to share them all with you.
Here's what you're about to discover...
- You can't eat on while doing the Master Cleanse right? WRONG! - I'll give you a list of safe foods that let you "cheat" and not have to worry about interfering with the cleansing process.
- I'll show you how to use the Master Cleanse specifically for losing weight. If you're planning to use the Master Cleanse for weight loss there's some important steps you need to follow. Do it wrong and your metabolism will slow to crawl - I'll show you a simple way to lose weight with the Master Cleanse that will keep metabolism running high and burning fat
- How to get past the 3 day hump. Even experienced Master Cleanser's have trouble getting past day 3 - Getting past the first 3 days is critical.

Is The Master Cleanse Safe?
You won't have to worry about safety when you follow the step by step techniques in my Master Cleanse Secrets guide. I don't agree with some folk's fanatical approach to cleansing your body, so I've developed techniques that you can use to safely finish the Master Cleanse without jeopardizing your health.
Not only that, but mega celebrities who have access to the best doctors and nutritional experts in the world swear by the Master Cleanse. Theses celebrities could use anything to improve their health and lose weight regardless of price. They use the Master Cleanse because it's safe and it works.
For example stars like Beyonce Knowles and Robin Quivers have this to say about the Master Cleanse:
Beyonce Knowles announced on the Oprah Winfrey show that she had lost 20 pounds on the Master Cleanse to prepare for her starring role in the new film Dreamgirls.
~ New York Times, December 10, 2006
Robin Quivers from the Howard Stern show went on the Master Cleanse after hearing Magician David Blaine rave about it on her show. Robin credits the Master Cleanse for her 70 pound weight loss, and renewed health.
Here's What Robin Had to Say About the Master Cleanse in a interview for People Magazine:
"This is my way of life now," she says. "I don't ever want to feel the way I felt ever again."
"This wasn't about weight loss," says Quivers, who traces her health problems to steroid-based medication that she took in 1989 to regulate her menstrual cycle, "I was really trying to regain my health, and that's what it did."
"She's a whole different person, "says Howard Stern producer Gary Dell'Abate, "I've been with her 20 years, and I've never seen her this happy and confident."
~ People Magazine, April 2004
Backed By decades of Success Stories
Health fads come and go, but for decades the Master Cleanse has been quietly bringing relief to anyone willing to try it for 10 days. For every jealous doctor who tries to keep his patients in the dark about it, there's a 1000 happy Master Cleanse users who are living breathing Proof that the Master Cleanse does work.
And the nice thing is you can do the Master Cleanse without any special equipment, or exotic ingredients. That's because unlike modern health fads cooked up by corporate America, the Master Cleanse was designed to help you NOT profit from you by selling you pills, potions, gadgets, and expensive membership clubs.
In fact the Master Cleanse only costs a couple dollars a day so you'll probably end up saving around $50 in groceries during the time you're on the Master Cleanse.
If you're getting excited about experiencing the Master Cleanse for yourself I don't blame you, but there's one more thing I must share with you because know one else is talking about it...
After You Finish The Master Cleanse Is When You Really Start To see Amazing Results
What happens after the 10 days are up? That's the best part, and it's what separates the Master Cleanse from all the other diets and health systems out there.
There will be a permanent shift in your attitude and beliefs about what you put in your body after you finish the Master Cleanse!
If you've been trying to force yourself to lead a healthier lifestyle you know how hard it is to resist the uncontrollable urges that keep you doing the things you know you shouldn't
It's as if your body is running a subconscious program and you have no way to control it.
It's a terrible feeling to know exactly what you should be doing but are powerless to actually do it.
The Master Cleanse can shatter that old program and replace it with one that makes you naturally crave healthy foods.
We've talked a lot about the changes you go through on the Master Cleanse, but this one might be the most dramatic and life changing. You see, after your body is restored to a state of peak health it naturally want's to stay there. Avoiding the things that are bad for you no longer becomes a battle of will power because you will no longer desire to out them into your body.
This change is so powerful that even thinking about the bad things you used to crave can make your stomach churn.
This is such an incredible feeling that life long sugar addicts have shed tears of joy when for the first time in their life they can be around sweets and have no desire to try even a little taste.
You'll simply have to experience this for yourself to understand how great it feels.
You're 10 Days Away
If you've been let down by other diets, or have been disappointed with the results you got from those expensive cleansing systems going on the Master Cleanse is the smartest thing you can do because you won't have to wait months to see results. And you won't have to spend a fortune on cleansing kits that only cleanse your colon while neglecting the rest of your body.
You'll be finished with the Master Cleanse before you know it, and you'll feel like a new person in just 10 days.

I feel better than I've felt since I was eighteen years old. I've just completed the Master Cleanse for the first time. I'm not sure how I missed your program, since I've undertaken almost every diet/cleanser available. But this is definitely the best. Never weak. Never hungry. Never miserable. On the second day I was on the Master Cleanse, I called my daughter who also began the program. She feels the same. We both plan to incorporate the Master Cleanser into our lifestyles.
~ Thank you. Dr. Venetta Whitaker
I am soooo happy with the Master Cleanse. I started on March 1 and I am concluding today because I am scheduled for a stress test at the end of this month. In the 13 days that I have been on the Master Cleanse, I lost 16 pounds and I anticipate that tomorrow morning, it will be 17. I am not saying that it was not hard, but it was well worth it. I feel great.
~ Cheryl
Raylen, I have found your web site to be terrific and it has benefited me tremendously. I am in the bottom of the 8th day of my cleanse and I feel great!! Since I have fasted a few times before with other programs, I plan to stay on this fast a bit longer to remove more of the debris still being released from my intestines. This is the easiest and most convenient fast I have ever done!! Thank you for you help!! By the way, I've dropped about 8 to 10 pounds at this point.
~ Kay Weldon
My name is Geena. A friend of mine told me about the Master Cleanse.and I decided to get right on it. I just wanted to do this for the weight loss. As days went by I found myself searching to find out more about the benefits and searching I found your website And I am truly grateful.

Why dont we as a club do something like a season ticket card for children in our local high schools to admit them to every home game next season? Wouldnt cost alot for james and roger to go into the likes of St john fisher, Thornhill high, and Earlsheaton high givingseason ticket cards out to every high school pupil before the start of the season?
We are very lucky to have the best mascot in RL, so lets use him to try get more fans through the gates and try give glen and the team more support?!
Can anyone at the club reply to this post please with your thoughts??

Sorrell-Donovan rematch on tap?By PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | July 17,2013MONTPELIER The campaign finance disclosures unveiled Monday dont telegraph much about next years statewide political races and on these hot, lazy days of the off-election-year summer, most Vermonters probably arent thinking much about them anyway.
But with little more than a year before voters head to the polls again, politicians and their minders are beginning to turn their attention toward 2014, when a potential rematch between Attorney General William Sorrell and Chittenden County States Attorney TJ Donovan has generated the most early interest.
Sorrell, the eight-term Democratic incumbent who fended off Donovans primary challenge by a margin of just 700 votes, wont say whether hell seek to retain the post next year. Donovan too has been circumspect about 2014.
But a second bout between these two politicians each of whom dealt the other some heavy blows during their first contest last summer has the potential to earn top billing among the statewide races.
The bottom line is after that race last year I said I was going to, until fall of this year, concentrate on being attorney general, and not really think much about the politics, Sorrell said Monday.
Donovan has sought to keep a high profile since his defeat in August, and won numerous headlines over the winter for helping turn some of his top campaign issues including marijuana decriminalization into law. Donovan was also a key voice in the successful push for legislation that seeks to curb opiate-related deaths by extending criminal immunity to addicts who call authorities on behalf of an overdosing person.
Thats why primaries are good. If you have good ideas that have merit, you can really impact and effect change in a positive way in this state, Donovan said last week. The campaign may have ended, but the work did not.
Sorrell is eager to relay the vigor with which he has approached his eighth term, the only one for which he had to mount a serious campaign. Perhaps the most decisive factor in whether there will be another contested primary is the outcome of the states appeal of a ruling that it lacks the authority to shut down the Vermont Yankee nuclear plant.
A victory for Sorrell in a federal appeals court could make for a far easier path to a ninth term. A loss, however, would spill blood in the political waters. The case has been under review for six months, and Sorrell said he thinks a ruling could come anytime between now and Thanksgiving.
Donovan said the closeness of last years primary still stings.
There are many nights Im waking up at 3 a.m. thinking about how I could have made up those 700 votes, Donovan said.
Sorrell, 66, said that if he is going to call it a career, it wont be for fear of a primary challenge. While campaigning isnt his favorite activity I will say I found this July Fourth to be much more relaxing and pleasant than the last one, when I think I marched in six different parades Sorrell said he isnt afraid to mix it up on the campaign trail.
I wont let the fact that campaigning is not always enjoyable be the determinant factor in whether or not I run again, Sorrell said. Its going to be all about, do I still love this job, do I still have the amount of energy I want to bring to bear to it.
At the top of the ticket, second-term Gov. Peter Shumlin looks strong heading into 2014 and is without a declared Republican challenger. Even after paying off a $275,000 loan he made to his own campaign in 2010, Shumlin still has more than $700,000 on hand. But Randy Brock, his foe from last year, is considering another run.
Its nothing that I can really talk about one way or another at this point because its really too early to do so, Brock said Monday.
Shumlins 20-point margin of victory notwithstanding, Brock and his political team believe the incumbent Democrat carries some political vulnerabilities. Brock met recently with an official at the Republican Governors Association a brief meeting he said people shouldnt read much into. But with no other GOP figures stepping into the breach Phil Scott seems happy to be lieutenant governor for now Brock could lead the Republican charge again in 2014.
Republicans undoubtedly will look to mount serious challenges against the three Democrats who won their first terms in statewide office last year: Treasurer Beth Pearce, Auditor Doug Hoffer and Secretary of State Jim Condos.
Jack Lindley, chairman of the Vermont GOP, said the party has developed a strategic plan that he believes will yield electoral victories next year.
Weve identified our targeted races, and were moving forward with renewed support from everybody to get the job done in 2014, Lindley said Monday.
Lindley wouldnt say which races the party has targeted, other than to say hes confident were going to have a top-quality individual running against Shumlin, who has a lot of problems.

#24 Walter Alston and the MLB All-Star Game
My MLB fan blog came in at #24 for the month of June! This is the second time since I started the blog three years ago that I get #24! Back then I dedicated it to Walter Alson and I posted a beautiful article written by Jim Murray about Walter Alston. http://crzblue.mlblogs.com/2010/12/10/24-walter-alston-a-jim-murray-column/
I will again dedicate the #24 ranking to Walter Alston but this time emphasizing the nine All-Star games Walter Alston managed winning seven.
Walter Alston managed the All-Star game in 1954, 1956, 1957, 1960(1), 1960(2), 1964, 1966, 1967 and 1975.
1954 at Cleveland Municipal Stadium. American League 11, National League 9. .
Looking at the 1954 All-Star roster, it stood out that all the players that represented the National League were born in the US. For the American League there were four players born outside of the US, There were Minie Miñoso from Cuba, Chico Carrasquel from Venezuela, Bobby Ávila from Mexico, and Sandy Consuegra from Cuba.
1956 at GRifith Stadium, Washington DC. National League won 7-3
Again the National League did not have a Latin player. The American League had Vic Power aka Victor Pellot from Puerto Rico.
1957 at Sportsman's Park. St Louis. American League 6, National League 5.
From Baseball-Almanac:
Controversy surrounded the 1957 outing as the fanatical Cincinnati voters stuffed the ballot boxes and elected nearly their entire team (minus first baseman George Crowe & the batboy) onto the National League's starting roster. This upset Commissioner Ford Frick greatly and he responded by removing Gus Bell and Wally Post from the starting nine. He also transferred the responsibility for All-Star voting to the players, managers and coaches the next year.
1960. 1st game. Municipal Stadium. Kansas City, Mo. National League 5, American League 3.
The new format of two games were almost scheduled back to back on July 11 and July 13.
1960. 2nd Game. Yankee Stadium. National League 6, American League 0.
1964 Shea Stadium. New York. National League 7, American League 4.
Starting pitchers: Don Drysdale against Dean Chance. Drysdale went three scoreless innings. Juan Marichal won the game pitching the 9th inning. Sandy Koufax did not pitch. The National League came from behind to score 4 in the 9th.
1966 Bush Memorial Stadium. St Louis, Mo. National League 2, American League 1.
From Baseball Almanac:
The top story of the 1966 All-Star Game had nothing to do with baseball. It was the blistering one hundred five-degree game time temperature. Spectators in St. Louis' Busch Stadium were passing out in the stands and smelling salts and oxygen were required in the dugouts. Despite these intense conditions, the game went on as scheduled, although no one wanted to spend much time on the field.
Game went 10 innings. Sandy Koufax started the game and Gaylord Perry won it. Joe Torre was the starting catcher.
1967 Anaheim Stadium. National League 2, American League 1
Orlando Cepeda, Roberto Clemente and Juan Marichal were in the starting lineup. Joe Torre was the starting catcher.
The game went 15 innings. This game went into the record books for both the longest All-Star Game as well as the first game in which home runs accounted for all of the scoring.
Tony Perez was the All-Star MVP.
1975 County Stadium. Milwaukee. National League 6, American League 3.
Starting pitchers: Vida Blue and Jerry Reuss. Steve Garvey and Jimmy Wynn lead off the second inning with back-to-back homeruns.
Bill Madlock and Jon Matlack became the first & only players to share the All-Star award.
Hall of Famer Walter Alston managed all these nine MLB All-Star games winning seven out of nine.

Me too! I love the volunteering I did at the Fanfest in Anaheim and then walking thru all the Fanfest area showcasing baseball rich history. Watched the Future games. It was at the same time as the Dodger game so I kept flipping back and forth. Going to your blog to see what you had to say about the Great Lakes Loons.

It's clear that—in sports—there's a need to point out the best individual players despite the overwhelming message that a team's collective effort trumps everything (points to Boston Red Sox and the Seattle Seahawks)
But, with the Most Valuable Player Awards being among the most coveted pieces of recognition in athletics, RSVLTS is here to count down the Top 10 Most Valuable Athletes of 2013. And, while it may not compete with the opinion of the Associated Press, it still is a part of the Yearbook13 event—where there is a chronicling of all the most notable, memorable, and otherwise monumental aspects of the fleeting year.
10. Yasiel Puig
While he didn't win the 2013 National League Rookie of the Year Award—this young phenom unexpectedly catalyzed a trend of winning in the Dodgers Clubhouse that was expected to be—at best—sparse during the previous MLB season.
9. Jose Fernandez
The winner of the National League Rookie of the Year Award, Fernandez was a bright spot in an otherwise forgettable triple-digit loss season for the Miami Marlins. With a debut ERA of 2.19 and 12 wins, Fernandez accounted for nearly 20% of the Marlins' 2013 victories.
8. Clayton Kershaw
Statistically, for a pitcher to be mentioned in the same breath as Sandy Koufax is implicit of approbation. Clayton Kershaw accomplished the aforementioned as he won his second straight National League Cy Young Award. Not to mention, he's had the National League's best ERA for three straight years—posting an ERA under 2.0 in 2013.
7. Max Scherzer
While the star laden roster on which he plays fell painfully short of achieving their potential in 2013, Scherzer was only one Detroit Tiger to be recognized for his individual performance. Posting an ERA of under 3 and a record of 21-3—the most wins in the Majors in 2013—Scherzer's 2013 season was worthy of a Cy Young Award and, less notably, a spot on this RSVLTS list.
6. Calvin Johnson
With the final quarter of the 2013 NFL Season still to be played, the receiver everyone loves to call "Megatron" stats stand at 72 receptions, 1,299 yards, and 12 TD's. Leading the league in receiving yards, Johnson accounts for 34% of Matthew Stafford's passing yards. While another offensive superstar is likely to be a candidate for NFL MVP, it is entirely possible that the Wide Receiver of Transformers nomenclature could win the Offensive Player of the Year Award.
Expect to be continuously awestruck by the Wide Receiver trapped in a Defensive End's body.
5. David Ortiz
Overall, Ortiz's regular season won't be remembered in the books of Major League Baseball lore. However, the manner in which he played in the postseason was simply otherworldly. Putting the team on his back in a Greg Jennings-esque manner, Ortiz won the World Series MVP award and capped a historic turnaround for the Boston Red Sox.
4. Andrew McCutchen
The Pittsburgh Pirates haven't been good in a long while. Prior to this season, the last time the Pirates saw postseason action was when America was under the Presidency of George H.W Bush—the dad of the previous president. To put it numerically, the Pirates hadn't been to the playoffs in 21 years. A major contributor to this effort, McCutchen's diamond-based heroics earned him the 2013 National League MVP Award.
3. Miguel Cabrera
In an era of baseball where the power hitter seems like an endangered species, Cabrera still holds the torch for sluggers the world over in their darkest hour. With a batting average of .348, 44 home runs and 137 RBI's, Cabrera won the distinction of American League Most Valuable Player in 2013.
2. Peyton Manning
In 2012, everyone was skeptical about Peyton Manning's career with the Denver Broncos. With many great quarterbacks being mediocre in the their latter years in uniforms that they aren't remembered wearing, Manning would have to prove that his career with the Broncos would be more akin to Brett Favre's 2009 Minnesota Vikings Season rather than Joe Namath's brief career with the St. Louis Rams.
Well, if his MVP-worthy 2012 season wasn't indicative of Manning's continued dominance then 2013 certainly is—throwing 41 touchdowns with four games left to play. It is entirely possible that Manning breaks Tom Brady's 2007-set record of 50 touchdowns in a season—a year when Brady took home the MVP Award.
1. LeBron James
2013, and all of its surrounding years pay evidence to one universal athletic truth: the sporting world belongs to LeBron James. With 2 straight NBA Titles, earning his second straight MVP Award—with a distinct chance to win his 3rd straight, and 5th overall, after the current season—and the nickname "The King"; it is clear that Mr. James reigns supreme in 2013.

The latest gift from Blogger now allows you to truncate your long blog posts with a simple html comment...
The "Read more" hack was already there for Blogger, and infact recently a post on "Automatic Read More Hack" was also published here.
But this method is more simple and does not involve any javascripting too. So try this trick on any of your latest posts now...
To truncate the posts, as already explained at Blogger, you simply have to type a small comment-code, like this:
Part of the post displayed on homepageRemember that there are two spaces (before and after) the word "more",

<!-- more -->
But wait a second, the title says, that Blogger is going to announce a new feature of adding "Static Pages" to Blogger blogs too...So where is it mentioned in the Blogger post?

I've got a 10 week old that is being EBF, and obviously I lost the first week once I had her, however it's been a steady gain since. I'm really saddened and frustrated by this. I know a lot of it is because of inactivity due to her constant feeding cycles, is very clingy and does not like to be set down and she only naps once a day. I'm eating healthy however, and eat the same as I did when I was pregnant. We are supposed to even eat more afterwards right? Ha! I'll be as big as a house if I do that!
Anyone else out there? Are some women's bodies wacko after pregnancy and gain instead?

Freedom New Mexico
St. Edward's rallied for three second-half goals and beat Eastern New Mexico University 3-1 Sunday in a non-conference men's soccer game in Portales.
Joeski Williams had a goal and an assist for the Hilltoppers (5-4), including the go-ahead score in the 81st minute to hand the Hounds (7-2-1) their first loss in five games.
Sophomore midfielder Kal Herbert scored his sixth goal of the season on a through pass from Andy Wilkinson to put the Hounds up 1-0 late in the first half.

Gov. Snyder: Build trail from Detroit to Wisconsin
Project would need 152 miles of new trails in Upper Peninsula
Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder said the state will work to create a 599-mile hiking and biking trail stretching from Belle Isle park in Detroit to Ironwood on the Wisconsin border in the western Upper Peninsula.
Snyder's proposal would build on existing trails. He's directing the Michigan Department of Natural Resources to work with private and nonprofit partners to make the full route a reality.
The Detroit Free Press said the project would need 81.5 miles of new trails in the Lower Peninsula and 152 miles in the Upper Peninsula.
In an address on energy and the environment Wednesday, Snyder said Michigan could one day be known as the Trail State. He said the Detroit-to-Ironwood project would create a "signature" experience.

The Magic Castle that is Dodger Stadium just got some extra magic
I heard Vin Scully refer to Dodger Stadium as the Magic Castle! Well, the Magic Castle just got some extra magic! Is Magic Time at our beloved OLOCR _Our Lady of Chavez Ravine!
The official notice from the Dodgers was titled "The Los Angeles Dodgers and Frank McCourt Announce Agreement with Guggenheim Baseball Management"
As reported by http://mikesciosciastragicillness.com/ " Mark Walter, CEO of Guggenheim Partners, is the new controlling owner, and the group includes film producer Peter Guber, baseball Stan Kasten, and Bobby Patton & Todd Boehly of Guggenheim. Magic's the public face, Kasten's the baseball guy, and Walter is the controlling interest. It may not seem like an important distinction, but it is, though it's fair to note that Walter is not expected to be a hands-on owner in the Steinbrenner or Cuban tradition."
Earvin "Magic" Johnson stated, "I am thrilled to be part of the historic Dodger franchise and intend to build on the fantastic foundation laid by Frank McCourt as we drive the Dodgers back to the front page of the sports section in our wonderful community of Los Angeles."
We are thrilled to have you be part of the Dodgers, Magic! All I can say is
Jeanie Buss tweet to Magic Johnson: Congratulations Magic-sign me up for season tickets!
Just wish Frank McCourt was complete gone.
6 Comments
Mart, I am ready to celebrate! Hope the IRS takes a nice slice out of the McCcourt's piece of that money.
Thank you Kristen, we Dodger fans sure have been thru the ringer. we deserve some happy days, a competitive team on the field and restore this historic franchise where it should be.
I know McCourt made out like a bandit. Ughh.
Wrigley, I know ha? just crazy crazy. Talking about crazy, the people here are going nuts with the Lotto. 600+ million.

September 16, 2013 —
Zac Shavrick, a 26-year-old sculptor and one of Liberty's favorite sons, became the first artist in the area to have one of his works displayed on a corner of the lawn of the Town of Liberty Town Hall.
Schavrick joined about 50 residents, including town supervisor Charlie Barbuti, for an unveiling of the larger-than-life sculpture called Ed on September 15 next to Floyd & Bobo's Bakery and Snack Place on Main Street. The atmosphere was festive as Schavrick pulled a moving blanket from Ed's large head as the crowd shouted their appreciation. With help from Floyd & Bobo's con-owner, Louie Petraglia, Shavrick then doused the metal giant with Champagne.
The head of the sculpture contains many items such as an ax, a blade from a circular saw and much more. In a brief question and answer session, Patraglia asked where all the metal and items came from.
Shavrick said there was a lot of welding involved and much of the metal came from Brakewell Steel, a fabricator in Chester. "And the scrap around the top, I had a bunch of friends come and give me whatever they had lying around: a bicycle, there used to be an old gas pump in his ear, there's a shovel, whatever was lying around... just having fun with it. The whole idea is of it is when you reach that limit, and you're just ready to burst..."
The crowd broke in with a knowing laugh at that moment.
"... and that's sort of the moment captured in Ed. Maybe it's beyond that."
Ed is the first of what the organizers hope will be a series of art displays at that corner in the Village of Liberty. Go to www.artliberty.org [3] for more information.

The Marino Center for Integrative Health: Hooey Galore
Two weeks ago I promised that I would discuss the Marino Center for Integrative Health, identified in the recent Bravewell report as having a "hospital affiliation" with the Newton-Wellesley Hospital (NWH) in Newton, Massachusetts, which is where I work. I also promised in that post that I'd provide examples of 'integrative medicine' practitioners offering false information about the methods that they endorse. I'd previously made that assertion here, and Jann Bellamy subsequently discussed its legal and ethical implications here. The Marino Center is a wellspring of such examples.
A Misleading 'Affiliation'
Let's quickly dispel the "hospital affiliation" claim. According to the Marino Center website:
Hospital AffiliationsIn support of our services and to ensure that our patients have access to exceptional tertiary care, the Marino Center maintains deeply established relationships and affiliations for referrals and admitting privileges with major medical facilities in the Boston area.
The Marino Center:
- Is a proud member of the Partners Healthcare family
- Is affiliated with Newton Wellesley Hospital
- Makes referrals to Mass General Hospital, Dana Farber, Children's Hospital and more
Well, it wouldn't surprise me if the Marino Center is a 'member' of the Partners Healthcare family, which includes not only the Newton-Wellesley Hospital, but lesser known entities such as the Massachusetts General Hospital and the Brigham and Women's Hospital. After all, there are already unfortunate pseudomedical schemes involving Partners entities, such as the Osher Center for Complementary and Integrative Medical Therapies and, even under my own roof (I shudder as I write this), a Reiki Workshop. Nevertheless, it's telling, I hope, that not only does the Marino Center fail to appear under any list of Partners affiliates, Community Health Partnerships, Wellness, Prevention, or any other conceivable category, but it fails to yield a single 'hit' when entered as a search term on the Partners website (the term 'integrative' yields seven hits, but none appears to be about 'CAM,' except possibly for an RSS feed that I've no patience to peruse. Is it possible that Partners is embarrassed by the Osher Center? I hope that, too).
I've previously asserted that the NWH is not affiliated with the Marino Center, other than that some Marino Center physicians have been—against my judgment, not that I was consulted—granted hospital staff privileges. I made this assertion in my original Bravewell post a couple of weeks ago, after having questioned the NWH Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Les Selbovitz, who verified it; nothing on the NWH website suggests otherwise.
I've no reason to doubt the Marino Center's third bullet above, "makes referrals to Mass General Hospital," etc., but this is something that any physician can do, regardless of affiliation. I suspect that if there were an 'integrative hospital' in Boston, reason forbid, the Marino Center would make referrals to it.
False and Misleading Information about 'Services'
Let's get to the meat of the problem.

The air was a bit humid that morning but still pleasant for a South Texas spring.
It was the perfect morning to take to the lake and fish.
But these five guys weren't out for catfish or crappie.
They had their sights on something bigger.
Something deadlier.
Something prehistoric.
And their catch would tie the record for the largest caught in the state.
Alligator hunting is an annual tradition for the Seals family.
Jason, Pat, Geoff and Mike Seals, along with friend Curtis Rhodes, put out lines along the Nueces River where the family ranch is located near Oakville, on that evening, April 16.
It's a lot like fishing for catfish actually—well, if a catfish weighed 800 pounds and had a 2,100-pound bite force.
Gator hunting is fairly straightforward.
"We used heavy duty cord with a big hook on it," Pat said.
For the past five days a gallon bucket held their bait—slowly rotting chicken carcasses.
"You take those and tie them to a tree and suspend them from a limb just over 12 inches above the water," Pat said.
"That is to keep the turtles from getting the bait."
Then it becomes a waiting game.
They left the bait there overnight and returned that next morning.
Pat said, "You don't want to pull one in at night."
The reason is simple—it's too dangerous wrangling a gator in the dark. There are also laws against it, but that is probably because of the danger associated.
"We weren't interested in trying to do that at night," Pat said.
These guys do it differently than viewers see on the television show "Swamp People."
The idea here is less drama, fewer death rolls, and nobody can be in the boat when they pull the gator onto land.
"We all got onto the bank because you can't hunt alligators from a boat in Texas," Pat said.
Everything is done to ensure that no one gets hurt.
"You try to pull it up as slowly as you can," Pat said.
Some of the details are a bit fuzzy.
Pat said he believes it was Geoff who shot the gator.
Jason Seals, Pat's nephew, was offered the chance but didn't take it.
"I was offered the opportunity but turned it down. That is something I regret," Jason said.
As they stood on the bank, all anyone knew was that the line was no longer suspended above the water but was now pulled taut as it disappeared into the river depths.
"I had no idea how big it was," Jason said. "It was pretty nerve racking."
Jason and Pat stared at the water, watching as the line slowly came up.
"All I could see was hide," Pat said.
The next few minutes were almost a blur.
There was little time to think and no time to pontificate.
"It happens quick, and your mind is racing," Pat said. "You don't want anybody to get hurt. You just want to get it over with."
The shot was clean, and the animal went down.
"It was already exhausted when we got to it," Pat said.
To get it out of the river, they had to return with a tractor and use it to pull the gator out of the water.
This beast could have tied for the state record. They measured him at 14 feet, 3 inches long—the same length as the one caught last year at Choke Canyon.
Unfortunately, they can only estimate its weight.
"We have a scale we use to weigh deer," Pat said.
But that wouldn't quite cut it for this reptile, so don't look for this in the record books.
"We weren't interested in pursuing a state record," Pat said.
The alligator has since been butchered, and the hide is ready for tanning.
This isn't the first time they have caught a gator twice the length of two tall men.
"Two years ago we caught a 12-footer," Pat said. "We we were tickled to death to get that one."
No one suspected they would topple that personal record.
This isn't the first record-setting alligator to come out of this area.
About 11 months ago, an 18-year-old Houston high school youth pulled the same size alligator from Choke Canyon.
The 14-footer is estimated to be between 30-50 years old, according to TPWD alligator program leader Amos Cooper.
Hunting isn't about records for the Seals family, though. It is simply a sport they enjoy and all the better when they can do it together.
Jason said that he hunts everything from deer to hogs and even gets his line wet to catch a fish or two.
This gator was definitely the deadliest animal he has hunted.
Gator hunting in Texas is actually a relatively new sport, having started in about 1984.
This was after 15 years of protection due to declining numbers and fear that the reptile would never recover.
In 1987, the Fish and Wildlife Service pronounced the American alligator fully recovered and consequently removed it from the list of endangered species.
The longest recorded length for an alligator is 19 feet, 2 inches.
That massive animal was taken in Louisiana in 1890.

Hold all acccountable
Benjamin Franklin was quoted as saying something like "Those who sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither."
In 2001 after 9/11, Bush said more than once, paraphrased here because his actual statements are now obscured, "We will not change anything due to these attacks – doing so would be giving in to terrorists."
Yet the so-called 'Patriot' Act and related laws say and do otherwise – see aclu.org/reform-patriot-act for details.
I recall a work manager saying who cares about electronic privacy – if you have nothing to hide then why worry about it!
Imagine the Nazis being able to use the snooping that we allow today – and remember our Declaration of Independence...

Proud to be part of raceNovember 14,2012
Proud to be part of race
I want to take this occasion to compliment my fellow candidates, Sens. Bill Doyle, Anthony Pollina and Ann Cummings, and fellow challengers Dexter LaFavour and Jeremy Hansen, on an exemplary contest. All of them contributed to an issue-oriented campaign built on substance and completely void of rancor and I commend each and every one of them.
The voters of Washington County were blessed with a field of highly qualified, and principled candidates with an interesting mix of qualifications, philosophies and personalities.
I am confident that the three re-elected incumbents will continue to serve their constituents well while the rest of us will return to our roles as concerned citizens, each contributing in our own way to make Vermont an even better place to live and work.
Lastly, I can never thank my loyal supporters enough, so here I go again. Thank you for all you have done for Jackie and me and for Washington County and our beloved state. May the years before us bring good health and prosperity to all the citizens of the great and proud little state of Vermont.

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
F^ck your thoughts and Manga scans! Itachi wins anytime!
Ofcourse Tobi/Obito wins!
Dont really know.. Hard to say..
Ehh dont really care. haha Nagato or minato defeats both! =P (Trolling btw)
you know what is the best team ever in naruto?
Naruto and Rikudo Sennin...they'll beat everyone )

Nd so would Nagato. Nd supercool Itachi would surely find some way to counter him. Nd if Tobi believed Itachi could kill him, then its 100% true.
yes he is.remember he is using every akatsuki members to accomplish their plan. so why the fuk he's gonna kill itachi if he can still use him. this has been said hundred times if only fanboys would know how to read..

This is obvious
Read the Manga you dumb****. Tobi stated it when Sasuke activated the Amaturasu implanted by Itachi.
