Warrant Charges:Possession of a Controlled Substance
with Intent to Deliver (F)
The suspect was taken into custody on an
outstanding felony warrant for Possession of a Controlled Substance
with Intent to Deliver yesterday.
The arrest warrant stems from an ongoing
investigation into the possession of marijuana at a Boise residence
on December 1st of last year. On that date, Boise Police responded
to a citizens report of a fight at the home. As officers conducted
that investigation they observed a bag of marijuana in plain sight.
A search of the home revealed a small amount of marijuana in the
residence along with other drug paraphernalia and packaging
materials. Officers have additional undisclosed evidence that
indicates the illegal substance was intended for sale. That
investigative information was forwarded to the Ada County
Prosecuting Attorney's Office and resulted in the felony

Charges:Driving Under the Influence
Boise Police observed a vehicle fail to signal as it
exited a parking lot, then fail to signal as the vehicle made a
turn near State Street and Collister early this morning, September
23rd, at approximately 2:00 a.m. Officers attempted to stop the
driver, who continued to drive until he reached State Street and
Marketplace Lane, at which point the vehicle stopped in the middle
of the road. The suspect, who appeared to be very intoxicated at
the time, failed several field sobriety tests and blew a .21/.21 at
the Ada County Jail. A check through Ada County records
indicated the suspect had 2 prior convictions for DUI making
this charge a felony. The suspect was booked at the Ada County Jail
on the above listed charges.

outstanding felony warrant for Possession of a Controlled Substance
The arrest warrant stems from a traffic stop
that took place on July 8th of this year. During the stop a Boise
Police K-9 alerted on the vehicle indicating the likely presence of
drugs. A search of the vehicle revealed drug paraphernalia and
residue that later evidentiary testing verified as meth. That
investigative information was forwarded to the Ada County
Prosecuting Attorney's Office and resulted in the felony

Sample goodbye letter to addiction
My dearly dreaded Cocaine Crack (name of drug you are addicted to. You may make it more imperative by mentioning brand or colloquial name),
I wish I never see you back in my life for all the horrific things inflicted by you in my life. You were like a sweet poison, killing me slowly every day.
I am writing this letter to inform you, that you cannot affect me anymore, as I have decided to part away from you forever. It was the biggest mistake of my life to let you interfere in my life, and influence me. Slowly you took complete control of me. I can't imagine, you almost ruined not only my life, but also affected my family and others who loved me dearly.
It is only because of them that now I have realized where I was heading to. Thinking of the days, when I sniffed first dose, I still can't believe how naďve and foolish I was. For the momentary relief and fun, a feeling never experienced before, what I was compromising on; my complete life itself. Rather than enjoying the beautiful things in life, I had become addicted to you, and was heading for my doomsday.
You not only affected my physical and mental health, but also brought about financial losses. Eventually, the damage caused by you started affecting my family and society. Still, when I think of recollecting myself and reintegrating with life, I feel it is not late yet and so I have decided to bid a final goodbye to you.
And before I end, I would like to promise you that soon I will prove it to others and myself that you can be avoided.
With best of wishes for myself, and goodbye for ever to you

Seniors Hillary Hennig and Erin Tabb were selected to the Advocate's honorable mention list to the All-Area teams by the Advocate. Hennig never seemed to leave the court this year. As an outside hitter, she took most of the hits for the Lady Trojans and still played defense well enough to play along the back line, coming up with several digs a game to help the Lady Trojans into the playoffs.
Tabb was a force along the net and at serve. She blocked shots and hit kills that left opponents shying away from her. Tabb was always in the service rotation and could be counted on for an ace or two in most contests and always presented the opposing team a tough serve to return.
Lady Eagle Tori Garza was the top server for the Pettus squad. She was also the team's setter and occasionally hit for a kill at the net when the opportunity presented itself. She rarely left the court in a match.
All three Bee County ladies will be missed by their respective coaches and teams next year.
They had an impact on their teammates with their leadership and on their opponents with their determined play.

Coaches know the drill - one day hired; next day fired
Fisher ventures back into shaky employment opportunity
The St. Louis Rams hired Jeff Fisher as their head coach last week; no firing date has been set yet.
Oh, and he will be fired.
As Fisher made his way back into the NFL Honcho Room, the Indianapolis Colts' Jim Caldwell made his way out. If they bumped into each other, Caldwell might've reminded Fisher how uneasy lies the headset that wears a coaching crown.
In 2009, Caldwell went 14-2 in his first season as Colts coach. In 2011, Caldwell went 2-14. Bye-bye.
In fact, before the 2009 season, 11 new head coaches were hired and already nine have been fired - only the Jets' Rex Ryan and the Lions' Jim Schwartz remain.
It's pretty simple:
When you get hired as a coach, you are signing up to get fired.
(Similarly - and I hate to state the obvious here, but, what the heck, it's my job - when you get married, you are signing up to get, uh, unmarried. Note: I don't use the "D" word anymore. Plus, this time around with Toni, a.k.a. She Is The One, it's "till death do us part" - of course, in our case, she might end up killing me, but, hey, that's technically still "till death do us part," so I'll take it.)
Sure, this NFL season the 49ers first-year coach Jim Harbaugh has been the flavor of the month, but you still don't know if he's going to be the next Joe Gibbs or the next Jim Haslett.
The late George Carlin used to say, "When you buy a pet, you know it's going to end badly. You've just purchased a small tragedy."
Coaches are essentially human pets.
The exception was Connie Mack, who managed the Philadelphia Athletics for 50 baseball seasons (1901-'50), making him the longest tenured coach or manager in U.S. pro sports history.
The secret to Mack's success? He owned the team. I mean, even a bankrupt Donald Trump wouldn't fire himself.
Others have not been as lucky; everybody gets axed, some sooner than later.
In the NBA, the Sacramento Kings recently dismissed Paul Westphal after a 2-5 start. It tied for the second-fastest firing since the NBA-ABA merger - the Indiana Pacers fired Jack Ramsey in the 1988-'89 season after an 0-7 start. The fastest firing? In 1977-78, the Philadelphia 76ers fired Gene Shue at 2-4 one season after he had led the team to the NBA Finals.
In the 2008-'09 season, an NBA-record six of 30 coaches were fired before Christmas; of course, this was when the NBA actually played games before Christmas.
In Major League Baseball, only one man - the Angels' Mike Scioscia - has managed the same team since before 2005. In 1988, the Baltimore Orioles fired Cal Ripken Sr., after an 0-6 start; in 2002, the Detroit Tigers fired Phil Garner after an 0-6 start.
In the NHL, the Detroit Red Wings' Bill Gadsby won his first two games of the 1969-'70 season - and was fired.
(Detroit's a tough town.)
But no one in coaching annals has suffered the ignominy of Marty Schottenheimer, the star-crossed, sixth-winningest coach in NFL history.
With the Cleveland Browns - after no losing seasons and a 32-15 record his final three years - he was fired.
Then with the Kansas City Chiefs - where he had nine winning seasons out of 10 - he was fired.
Then with the Washington Redskins, he was fired after one season, in which he won eight of his last 11 games.
Then with the San Diego Chargers, he was fired after his fourth year, a 14-2 season.
(Look at those last two jobs again, with the Redskins and the Chargers: Schottenheimer was fired after winning a combined 22 of his last 27 games.)
And now Schottenheimer has expressed interest in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' head-coach opening. Really? He hasn't had enough? I'm no shrink, but I figure the guy must like getting fired.

Q. In keeping with the anomaly of Europeans and Asians dominating professional sports circuits, should we expect a PBA winner from the Ivy League? (John Swope; Irwin, Pa.)
A. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the pro bowlers tour bars Harvard grads and guys in J. Crew wear.
Q. Why would the St. Louis Rams agree to play a regular-season game in London in each of the next three seasons? (Dan Harper; Chicago)
A. Rams owner Stan Kroenke mentioned the importance of NFL growth in Britain, but I assume he just needs the frequent-flier miles.

Within a year of receiving a $500,000 federal grant, the National Center for Parents at the University of Toledo has received another major boost: $125,000 from the UT foundation to help in hiring its first full-time executive director.
Foundation members recently approved the donation for the center, which has been managed by a part-time director who's had other duties at the university.
Those affiliated with the center, which researches factors that affect the role of parents in society, said the addition of a full-time director will be an impetus for increasing research and related funding for the program.
A national search will be conducted with a goal of having someone in place by July 1.
"We are looking for someone who can propel the National
Center for Parents to national prominence," said Barbaranne Benjamin, the center's interim part-time director and associate dean for research and graduate education at the college of health and human services, which houses the center.
The center, which is now two years old and took years to create, received its first major funding last December with the announcement of the $500,000 federal grant. Plans called for the money to support a study of mothers who are involved in the criminal justice system.
To date, more than 300 mothers have been interviewed, Ms. Benjamin said, by a team of about six UT faculty members and eight graduate assistants. The interview process is expected to last until next summer, she said.
"We're asking questions about health, education, and services," she said. "We're beginning to see some things emerging from the women."
Ultimately, center leaders envision stimulating change on the national level with the studies, said Lucas County Juvenile Court Judge James Ray, who serves on its board.

TRENTON, N.J. — The chief spokesman for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie testified yesterday that he was misled about why traffic lanes were closed at the George Washington Bridge last September and was "shocked and disoriented" when he learned that the motive appeared to be political vengeance.
The spokesman, Michael Drewniak, the most-senior administration official to publicly testify before the legislative committee looking into the matter, said neither the governor nor any of his closest advisers were involved in the lane closings.
"I can say with complete confidence and comfort that none of these people — starting with Gov. Chris Christie — had any involvement whatsoever in this reckless and perplexing episode," he said.
Drewniak also denied playing any role himself.
"I had no knowledge or involvement in the planning or execution of this strange, unnecessary and idiotic episode that brings us here today," he said. "Nor did I play any role in any actual or perceived cover-up."
At the same time, Drewniak said the working relationship between officials from New York and New Jersey at the Port Authority was so toxic that it led him to dismiss concerns about the traffic jam.
Drewniak offered the most-detailed account to date of the series of warnings that were either dismissed or ignored by top Christie officials and ultimately led to a crisis that continues to threaten Christie's political future.
From the moment the local traffic lanes in Fort Lee leading to the bridge were closed on Sept. 9, constituent complaints poured into the administration. The lane closings backed up traffic for hours each day.
On Sept. 12, with the lanes still closed, Mayor Mark Sokolich of Fort Lee made a frantic plea for help to the administration.
On Sept. 13, Patrick J. Foye, the top New York official at the Port Authority, ordered the lanes reopened and sent a harshly worded letter to his New Jersey counterparts saying the closings were dangerous and possibly illegal.
Drewniak said it would be fair to characterize the relationship between top officials from the two states as one of hatred.

Hats Off To The Economist's Article
By Catalonia+ on Nov 16, 2008 with Comments 19
I've got to take my hat off to The Economist for publishing an excellent article about Catalonia called "The party's over" last week. It has caused great concern here in Catalonia and there's been much calling for public apologies, articles being banned etc etc.
In my opinion the article was very well written and touched a few key points in Catalan politics. having said that , the people calling for apologies etc would do better brushing up on their English language or lack of English language as this seems to be the case. I say this as these people have taken out of context what The Economist has said regarding "Caciques" or provincial political bosses. It is a term which is applied very well to the likes of Jordi Pujol, Manuel Fraga or Manuel Chaves although not in the way that The Periodico de Catalunya or La Vanguardia newspapers have rendered it.
The article in The Economist talks about "café para todos" which was a formula drawn up in which all the autonomous communities in Spain would have a slice of the pie. The Economist states: " but this panoply of decentralisation has not placated the politicians of Catalonia, the Basque country or Galicia. This is because they never wanted cafe para todos: they wanted it just for themselves, as a recognition that they were different".
How true those words are and this still applies today. The demands of these three regions make it very difficult to draw up a stable and permanent set of rules.
As we are all aware here primary and seconday schooling is conducted in Catalan with Spanish being taught as a foreign language. Catalan is also the language of the regional government. A Spaniard who speaks no Catalan has almost no chance of teaching at a University in Barcelona. To top it off, a play or film in Spanish will not be subsidised from public funds.
The Economist goes on to say "The nationalists' linguistic dogmatism is provoking a backlash. Earlie this year Mr Savater, the philosopher, together with a diverse group of public figures ranging from Placido Domingo, a tenor, to Iker Casillas, Real Madrid's goalkeeper, signed a "manifesto" in defence of the right of citizens to be educated in Spanish". They were duly denounced as "Castilian nationalists in the Socialist press.
Many thoughtful Catalans believe that Catalan would be safe if it remained the language of primary schools, but that Catalonia would gain much by allowing a choice between Catalan and Spanish in secondary schools. I have to take my hat off to these thoughtful Catalans, too. There is an example on my blog which has been taken out of context by a few people that shall remain nameless but I'll paraphrase it here:
a lot of people in Barcelona had done all their schooling in Catalan and went to University and passed their grades and got good careers etc. It was taken for granted that they knew Catalan as this was their main language of study, did all their exams in Catalan and even passed Catalan language as a subject. After the year 1992 the Catalan government decided that from that year onwards anyone wanting a job as a civil servant for example would not have to "prove themselves in Catalan". Ok, fine but what about the people before that year? No such luck I'm afraid. All these people who have equal studies or in some cases superior to those who graduated after 1992 now have to prove themselves by taking the Catalan B, C or even D test. Now isn't that quaint! So it really doesn't matter if you are called Montse Pujol Capdepera if you graduated before 1992. According to the Caciques in office you don't make the grade anymore and should start shelling out money to get your Catalan Nivell C certificate before they consider you for a decent job!

And what are you Jeff? A resentful expat loser who thinks he is Spanish?
Seems to me like there's an English bloke on here who thinks he is Catalan and a "charnego" who thinks he is very witty. Losers.
Sarcasm isn't the lowest form of wit. Punning is.
That's why, unlike the witty Anglos, we, Catalans, need to migrate instead expatriating ourselves.
I think Gorgeous George should get out more – lol
Yes. Sarcasm may be considered as the lowest form of wit. However, Catalan sarcasm is different. It has its own identity and its own way of being sarcastic. Its completely different in fact and has absolutely no similarity to the low form of sarcasm used by other people. So different in fact, that it even defines the boundaries of various countrys (in some peoples heads). If a group of people (a thousand or 2 is sufficient) in say, Egypt, use Catalan sarcasm as opposed to a more common form of sarcasm, it means that that part of Egypt is a Catalan sarcasm country and it should be freed from the evil users of any other form of sarcasm, be it a Spanish form, French, Italian, Mongolian… So Steve, you now know the basics of Catalan sarcasm, but you will never fully understand until your view is exactly the same as other Catalan sarcasm users. Or at least a small proportion of the more radical ones.
This is called, Catalan sarcasm.
Similar to Rab, I got the same kind of accusations when commenting on the Economist's letters to the editor. Personally I do not bother, I believe that supporting my culture and language is a noble cause, and I can take any attacks from the "establishment" represented here by Suze.
In the Economist, a Ucranian intervened to give me support. Pls. read his comment. I think it is very enlightening:
"This discussion is very interesting to me, particularly because there is a similar problem in Ukraine. This country has been divided between Poland and Russia for centuries. After gaining independence in 1991, the Ukrainian language acquired an official status – TV programs are broadcast and official documents are written in Ukrainian. However, the opposition from many Russian speakers has been increasingly fierce, even though nobody prevents them from talking their native language in everyday life.
I find the remark concerning the 'nationalistic mind' made by E Limon to be astonishingly absurd. For instance, I consider Ukrainian to be my mother tongue and defend its status as a national language in Ukraine, but does this prevent me from learning so called 'global languages'. I'm fluent in Russian and speak several foreign languages: English, German, French and a little Dutch.
My point is that every national identity needs its developed national language to sustain the coherence of local community despite globalization trends. These two streams can peacefully coexist.
Mr. Llorens, thank you very much for your insights. Your views helped me understand the situation in Catalonia better.
Dnipropetrovs'k, Ukraine"
Thank you very much, Evgen.
Only North Europeans (Anglo-Saxon and so on) can be expats. We, Catalans, are immigrants.
Suze, how is that link irrelevant? It deals exactly with the issue that The Economist, in their biased and unobjective article, so blatantly ignored.
And how do you make the link between being an expat and despising myself? Is that common amongst expats? Is that your personal experience?
Rabs sole purpose for existence is to make snide remarks and comments about other people. He will often quote irrelevant material to justify his views and name calling. I think he secretly despises himself, given that he is also an expat.
Very informative reading you dim witted cluck…..and your point is?
Just to show that not every expat is a resentful, prejudiced loser:
I invite readers of this ill-informed blog to click on the link above, and open the PDF; it is the text of a lecture at the London School of Economics (in English).
There is an expression in Catalan language that I hope you are able to understand: "De fora vingueren i de casa ens tragueren".
[…] There are blogs that were also in favor of the Economist's evaluation: Life in Catalonia, […]
"Fair, balanced and on the money".
You must be joking.
It was a translation into English of what newspapers like El Mundo and El País, ABC, etc publish every day. It was coverage from one point of view only: Spanish.
I read The Economist piece too and thought it was fair, balanced and right on the money. Unfortunately, the tendency in Spain is to get one's panties in a bunch whenever there is any media coverage from the U.K. or U.S. press about Spain that could be construed in even the slightest bit as a criticism.
Last year the Wall Street Journal wrote an excellent front-page story about how people living in País Vasco were having a devil of a time getting jobs (or keeping their jobs) because of the language issue. The story was fair and accurate and yet the reporter was pilloried as being a good-for-nothing lout who knew nothing about Spain, blah, blah, blah. Little did the people know, the Basques who were criticizing the Wall Street Journal, is that the reporter who wrote the piece has lived in Spain almost a decade and is married to a Spaniard, so it was not like he was some journalistic travel writer who parachuted in to Bilbao for a day to do his piece.
It is very disturbing how divisive and controversial the issue of languages is in Spain. Why can't they all co-exist peacefully? They are all part of the beautiful heritage of Spain.

The Knicks in 2012-2013 is a team full of overpaid players that is a first round team at best. They have two PGs that are older than 35 and one is coming off an awful season and is overweight.
They have a SF that is a ballhog and a PF that gets paid like a 1st tier superstar but is a 2nd tier at best when healthy ( which was a few years ago) and those two players do not mesh on the court... Tyson Chandler is a good pickup but they Knicks paid too much for him.
Overall, the Knicks tend to overspend for players they think will make them contenders but at the end, they will be hanging around the bottom of the playoff spot in the East and more than likely will get knock off the first round because Carmelo Anthony will try to outscore the other team in points throughout the playoffs. So far, the Knicks with Anthony in the playoffs is 1-8 which is pretty awful if you ask me.

March 20th, 2014 was a big day for the EMS 2.0 movement.
On that day, the EMS 2.0 Facebook Page received a message from not one, but two US EMS services asking the leaders of the EMS 2.0 movement to step in and �finally figure out what the heck we should be doing with those ambulances we got.�
In a letter addressed to �Those guys who started that EMS 2.0 thing� under the subject line of �If you�re so smart, YOU figure it out.� Both the upper echelons from the Detroit, MI and the Washington, DC EMS departments respectively asked Justin �The Happy Medic� Schorr who is widely considered to be the father of EMS 2.0, as well as yours truly, Chris Kaiser, EMS 2.0�s weird uncle, to step into the lead of the nation�s arguably most-troubled ambulance systems.
�We try, and we try, and we try�� the letter states, �but every day we see more and more bad press coming from the local and national press. It seems that no matter what we do we just can�t get things turned around.�
One of the chiefs even acknowledged the hard-working and caring employees of his service by saying �A lot of our guys read EMS blogs and are trying innovative things out there in the field. One guy (in Detroit) even gave a cold, homeless guy a blanket one day� Of course we then had to discipline him for violating policy, but still.�
The Chief of DC FEMS even offered to increase the 2014-2015 budget earmark for �improving EMS service� by 137%
However, even with the $137 dollars that DC said we could spend, ultimately Justin �The Happy Medic� Schorr decided to join on to the Detroit EMS force, which he has announced today on his blog.
With Justin at the helm of the new Detroit Unified Healthcare System (DUHs), that leaves Life Under The Lights considering whether or not to step in the lead role in Washington, DC.
Look for a further update on this big development on the EMS 2.0 front.

Hottest Hustlers Of The Day: Will.i.am, Kanye West, And Javier Bardem

Christmas Day's L.A. Lakers vs. Miami Heat basketball game at the Staples Center in Los Angeles was a star-studded affair—the audience was packed full with some of Hollywood's most stylish gents, including Black Eyed Peas' Will.i.am, Kanye West and actor Javier Bardem. Will.i.am wore tan pants, a Lakers yellow tee, a leather jacket, and a metal man-bag. Kanye rocked a head-to-toe black ensemble with a silhouette pendant necklace (a downsize from his usual jewelry picks). Meanwhile, Javier Bardem, who was seated with his wife, Penelope Cruz, wore a graphic T-shirt with a black blazer. Sadly, an arena full of fashion-forward fellas/fans—all wearing stunner shades—wasn't enough to pull out a home win for the Lakers. But there's always next time.

On Wednesday, May 26th, FARM staff and volunteers protested outside of the Austrian Embassy as part of the Shame on Austria campaign for the 13 animal activists currently on trial in Austria (see background information below). An element of the Shame on Austria solidarity campaign is a chain of demonstrations with at least one protest in one country every week of the trial. Today this global campaign came to Washington DC.
For an hour, activists gathered and marched in front of the Austrian Embassy chanting messages and carrying large signs reading "Stop Austrian Repression," "Activism is NOT a crime," "Protect Free Speech," and "Drop All Charges- Shame On Austria!" Protesters expressed outrage at the current treatment of animal advocates by the Austrian government and demanded that all charges against these individuals be dropped.
During the demonstration, a few FARM activists approached the embassy to deliver a letter to the the embassy's public information officer, Wolfgang Renezeder. Friendly and understanding, Mr Renezeder was aware of the worldwide protests that have been going on with the Shame on Austria campaign and agreed to make sure the letter is delivered to the Ministry of Justice in Vienna.
FARM will continue to take a stand and speak out against the Austrian government until this injustice is stopped and the charges against the 13 animal protection activists are dropped.
Background Information:
Two years ago, the homes and offices of ten leading Austrian animal advocates were raided and these individuals were kept in solitary confinement for several months. This has been shown to be part of a two year investigation which has resulted in twenty-six homes and seven NGO office searches, informants, wiretaps, e-mail surveillance and personal and vehicle tracking. All of the money, time and resources dedicated to this harassment have yielded no direct evidence of any criminal activity by those targeted.
The primary "evidence" against several of these defendants is that they organized and took part in demonstrations, distributed leaflets, expressed opinions in internet debates an d engaged in other fully legal NGO campaign work. Section 278a of the Austrian Criminal Code is being used to argue that these activities, although legal, have influenced other "unknown persons" to commit illegal offenses. Aboveground activists, doing legal work, are being made responsible for the actions of people totally unknown to them. This week marks the 11th week of trial.

By Baxter Black
In the month before our county fair, our mail box is filled with letters from 4-H kids inviting us to the fair and to take a look at their show animals. For example: "I'm in the sixth grade, my second year in 4-H in the beef project, and I love it! My steer's name is Chipper. Come take a look at him. Sincerely,…"
Coincidentally, I received a copy of a letter to the editor, in another town that said, and I paraphrase, "…desensitizing children (emotional manipulation) to betray the animal's trust by raising it, then sending it for slaughter is animal cruelty and a sad commentary that we encourage that dichotomy of thought in young people."
I called the writer of the letter to the editor. She was a smart, articulate, animal rights activist and entrenched in her opinions (like most of us).
It was very difficult for us to find any middle ground, except that we both favored spaying and neutering dogs and cats.
She was a vegetarian; saw no reason to raise animals to eat in the first place.
When I suggested that production efficiency was worthwhile, she said it was just to make money, besides, farmers are subsidized. I tried to make a distinction that the relationship of humans to pets and humans to livestock was different.
It fell on deaf ears.
Just as her efforts to convince me that a pig's right to express their pigness was more important than my evaluation of their comfort, based on measurable production parameters.
She actually said pork should cost a lot more. I'm sure a lot of pork producers agree with her, but she's not a consumer like most of us.
In her ideal world, everyone would eat grain and greens. There would be no milk, no eggs, no steak, bacon, salmon, sushi, chicken enchiladas, cheese, ice cream or locusts consumed by humans. We would live the culinary life of mountain gorilla, while coyotes, chimpanzees, polar bears and sharks would scour the earth for meat on the hoof.
The minor ruckus in the community where the activist's letter to the editor appeared served its purpose. She made her point and mobilized the local county agent and the 4-H kids to think through and articulate their positions.
The activist chooses to live in her own cocoon, ignoring that 96 percent of the population eats meat and it has to come from somewhere.
The excerpt from a letter by one of the 4-H kids expresses the view as well as it can be said:
"A 4-Her is knowledgeable enough to understand the difference between a pet and livestock. Sure some tears may be shed at the sale. The tears show how much dedication and effort was put into a project. Yes, bonds may be formed, but these animals are bred as market animals. The only 'emotional manipulation' occurring is the maturing and realization that these animals will be feeding a family for many nights."
I couldn't have said it better. It is our lot in life to feed our fellow man. Let's hope we do it well.

Week one and a note on the site
I hope you enjoyed our preseason content this summer. Based on all the feedback we've received, it appears our readers have never felt more prepared for their drafts than they have this year. That's good, since we've never worked harder than we did this year on covering the preseason. I do sense this year is going to be a little crazier than usual, but I feel very good about the advice we've put forth this summer.
As I do each year around this time, I have to note how difficult Week One is for us. Every Labor Day we get inundated with e-mails looking for Week One content, yet for example, I was still working on preseason material as of last night for those with late drafts. It's tough to slam on the preseason brakes and shift gears to Week One, so this week will not be a typical week in terms of our content. Here's a quick overview of what to expect this week:
E-mails – With the regular season underway, we'll start touching base via e-mail more often, starting with our Wednesday Practice Report tomorrow. You'll notice next week, once we get into our regular routine, that we'll be e-mailing […]

Today is George A. Romero's birthday. The father of the modern zombie is 70 years old today. Romeros is best known for having created Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, Land of the Dead and Diary of the Dead, and thus having invented modern horror. You wouldn't have Left 4 Dead, or Dead Rising, or Resident Evil without Romero, kids,
To celebrate, FEARnet is being overrun with undead today. Check out what's going to be on the site:
- Tributes to George Romero from horror notables Guillermo Del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth), Mick Garris (Masters of Horror), Max Brooks (World War Z) and others.
- Video interviews with Romero and cast members of his groundbreaking "Living Dead" series of films.
- Full-length, free streaming movies featuring the consequences of zombie-like outbreaks, including Mulberry Street, the aptly titled J-horror film Infection and David Cronenberg's classic Shivers.
- Zombie American, a short starring The Hangover's Ed Helms
- A Jobs of the Damned video lesson from Doug Jones (Hellboy's Abe Sapien and the creepy Ice Cream Truck guy from Legion) on how to move like a zombie.
- A review of the Kevin Hamedani's post-9-11 political horror-comedy Zombies of Mass Destruction, part of this year's After Dark Horrorfest.
- Original zombie haikus penned by FEARnet site visitors in Romero's honor, like:
slip, stumble, fall, rise
undead feet on icy ground
zombies hate winter
And to top things off, FEARnet will "tweet like a zombie," retweeting zombie-related comments from horror fans and notables all day long. #Braaaiiiins!

In a 17 minute speech that ushered in the 28th session of the state Legislature, House Speaker Joe Souki called on members to be visionaries with a capital "V."
Souki, a Maui Democrat, outlined various tax proposals, the most controversial of which would tax pensioners who earn a net income of $100,000 or more at a higher rate.
Click here to watch Andrew Pereira's report.
"Our tax laws… make allowances for seniors whose incomes are usually fixed and very limited. That is the right thing to do-for most of them," said the speaker. "But very wealthy seniors who draw over $100,000 in pensions per person are also the beneficiaries of those tax considerations. Let's fix that anomaly so that everyone pays their fair share no matter where their income comes from."
The Hawaii chapter of the AARP was blindsided by Souki's proposal, saying it was unaware of the idea until the opening day speech.
"It's kind of a bolt out of left field, we didn't see this coming," said AARP state Director Barbara Kim Stanton. "We are shocked and greatly disappointed in the speaker's actions."
Gov. Neil Abercrombie was quickly shot down when he outlined a similar plan to tax pensioners shortly after taking office. During a question and answer session with reporters, Souki called the proposal a "talking point" that will be determined by the "fairness of it all."
Republican Gene Ward, who represents East Oahu, said Souki's proposal would punish people who have worked hard all their lives and are now retired.
"Speaker Souki's call for a pension tax on older, well-off residents of Hawaii is like Governor Abercrombie's Pension Tax of 2011. It's simply unfair and a bad idea," said the representative.
Meanwhile, Souki also called for the elimination of higher state income tax brackets, which are scheduled to sunset in 2015. The higher rates were approved by lawmakers as the state dealt with fallout from the Great Recession.
The speaker noted Hawaii's rebounding economy allows lawmakers to create "real opportunities." However, according to state Budget Dir. Kalbert Young, the state has about $25 billion in unfunded liabilities, with $5 billion of that owned by the counties.
Rep. Bob McDermott, a west Oahu Republican, said he was encouraged by Souki's call for tax relief, but said it's critical for Hawaii to get a handle on commitments to state workers.
"We owe it to the retirees, we have an obligation," said McDermott.
During last year's legislative session, lawmakers set aside $217 million to support pension and health fund accounts, $100 million for the current fiscal year and $117 million the next. Young said the amount will continue to increase until contributions reach an annual requirement of $520 million.
Souki's speech also contained a carrot for county mayors. The speaker proposed lifting the cap on the counties' share of the hotel room tax, which currently stands at $93 million. Honolulu receives the lion's share at $41 million. Souki said the state should study the possibility of taxing internet sales from out-of-state companies to make up for any loss in revenue to the state. Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell said it's time for counties to be better compensated for all the services they provide to Hawaii's visitor industry.
"We do a great job and we believe we need more revenue to ensure that we continue that job," said Caldwell.
Meanwhile, Souki stopped short of calling for the legalization of marijuana, but said in a state that already has medical pot, dispensaries are a natural progression.
"I think we need to fix that gap in the law before we talk about anything else," he said.
The session began with the House honoring dozens of former representatives who had served in the chamber since statehood in 1959.

Making Education Relevant in Saint Mary's, Alaska | Alaska Public Media
From a distance, it can be hard to tell why some rural school districts seem to work better than others…why some have better test scores, higher attendance and graduation rates. In the next installment of our series "being Young in Rural Alaska" from the producers of Kids These Days, Jessica Cochran looks at one Yukon River village – and how the community works together to support the school.www.alaskapublic.org/2012/10/22/making-education-relevant-in-saint-marys-alaska/

Pressure sensitive tools for Ipad and Iphone
Better control with your Wacom tablet
I think my Ctrl and Z keys are worn smooth from trying to get a line just right. It can be maddening when you need a long fluid line to have your tablets ice like surface skip your nib last minute completely borking up an otherwise perfect stroke. So, how do we fix it? Here are some tricks that I use.
Rotate your canvas.
Seems like a "Duh" moment, I know, until you get tin to the habit of using it, it's very easy to overlook and find yourself cursing as you draw or paint.
In Photoshop simply hold your R key and move the pen or mouse and the canvas will rotate as seen in my screenshot. This makes getting those weird angles so much easier.
In Illustrator this is a little trickier as you cannot rotate the art board, but what I do is select everything (CTRL-A) on the board and then hold shift and rotate by grabbing a corner anchor while it is in rotate mode, or right click – transform – rotate enter your value. Shift is a little quicker. For whatever reason no matter how i capture the screen my pointer and indicators disappear
In Painter 11 hold the Alt key and then spacebar to enable free rotation or simply choose the rotate tool by clicking and holding the hand icon to bring up the alternate tool choice for rotate.
Change your pen nib
Wacom sells various different types of nib refills for your pen. I have used the felt and can honestly say they do may a big difference. They also offer some flex nibs, which I have not tried that are supposed to offer more control as well as various other effects nibs. At $4.95 plus shipping what can it hurt to try?
Wacom nib refills
Use actual paper!
Another duh moment. You can simply cut a sheet of paper to the dimensions of your drawing surface and tape it down (or hold it with your hand to avoid tape marks). I have used up to a 2 ply illustration paper and suffered no ill effects on the pen registering, and if you do have issues try a thinner, lighter paper. This way you really are drawing on paper and the control is greatly increased. One caveat however; your plastic nibs will wear down quicker, but it's not like they cost a fortune.
If you have other tricks, I'd love to hear them. Please feel free to leave a comment below.

Price paid: $ 399.99
Features: Serious guitarists worldwide are jazzed about the reintroduction of the Hagstrom Super Swede especially at such an amazingly low price. Brilliant craftsmanship is evident in every detail of the mahogany body with carved maple top flamed maple veneer set mahogany neck and bound Resinator fretboard with pearl block inlays. The queen of the Hagstrom line the Super Swede sports Custom '58 humbuckers with thick rich bottom end and warm clarity on top plus coil splitting for single-coil sounds. H-Expander Truss Rod All Hagstrom guitars feature our revolutionary patented H-Expander truss rod. Providing tension at either end and running the entire length of the neck the rigid yet lightweight alloy truss rod allows for very low action and a thin neck earning us our reputation as the "Fastest Neck on the Planet." Resinator Fretboard Yet another Hagstrom exclusive the Resinator Fretboard is an extraordinary homogeneous wood composite that maintains a strong fundamental harmonic and eliminates wolf tones. Resinator Fretboards offer the articulate sound of high quality ebony but with more consistency and durability. Silky smooth reliable and fast the Hagstrom neck is a guitarist's dream come true. // 10
Sound: I hate comparing this guitar to other's, because it really is it's own creation on it's own level, but for purposes of communication of its attributes, comparison will have to suffice. Now, People complain that this guitar sounds dark. Well it's a gigantic frickin slab of mahogany, What do you expect? of course it's going to sound thick, and godly. Okay, I'll admit under typical distortions it sounds a little muddy, but with a quick uncomplicated flip of the EQ or, split the coils, which are amazingly quiet, and it brightens right up. Very versatile. I play punk, classic rock, jazz, blues, metal, country, weird foreign stuff like tinarwen, I try to emulate Ravi Shankar, I play everything, really, that's not bragging I just do. I'm strange and eclectic. And I have been able to find a tone for every style of music there is that sounds similar to an already recorded tone, but the best part is is you can take it, and make it freak out compared to what "set standards" should bea, is it versatile? Think of this, take a Les Paul, make the neck studier, yes I said studier, I mean a real Gibson Standard or custom by the way. Take a Strat scale and put it on the LP, So you can get that "violin" or bell like snap to the strings. Keep the Fretless Wonder of the Gibson however for the neck action, Now take the body and make it solid mahogany and essentially an ebony fretboard. Use Something akin to a LP's Oddly genius cousin for the electronics, put in a coil tap Switch, Make the bridge bolt each string at least an inch into the body through a resinator plate, so acoustically the back of the body resonates as loudly as the strings, and yes, that is not a joke, It really does do that. I nearly dropped the guitar when I heard that. What you get is something more smoky and ethereal than an LP, but with the delicate womanly nature of a Strat added in. For the coil splits imagine taking a Strat, eliminate the tremolo, use a Telecaster bridge, and make the body out of rosewood, this is what it sounds like. As for humbucking mode, like I said, the LP's oddly genius cousin, with no intensity loss or lack of punch. // 10
Action, Fit & Finish: Considering I bought it b stock and couldn't find a darn thing wrong, I can only imagine what a properly finished Hagstrom must be. The pictures at the website aren't doctored, guitar world even said that the finish is akin to guitars at least triple it's price. so I'm very happy with my purchase. The frets are well filed, god I'm not even gonna start, all I can say is there was not a thing wrong with it. // 10
Reliability & Durability: I can't say yet I've had it for 2 months and I'm too skiddish to let it out of my house, but I'm going to assume so, this thing is built like a tank I won't put ten because I don't know. // 9
Overall Impression: The only thing I don't recommend it for is punk, it lacks the highs a proper P90 or Telecaster would. It'll still do it though, and it sounds very aggressive, it just sounds too robust for punk in my mind. Very musically balanced output. Don't think dark or murky, think musically cool blues/jazz club smoky, as for metal, your standard metalhead will go for passives. The output on these is on the hotter side of vintage, about what vintage pickups would sound/ respond the day they came off the line. // 10
Price paid: € 600
Purchased from: Online store
Features: 2009 Hagstrm Super Swede, 21 frets with a super slim neck and coil splittable humbuckers. 2 tone, 2 volume. 2 passive custom pickups with alnico magnets in them. Proprietary design and parts by Hagstrm. Most noteworthy is the Hagstrm stop tail piece I'd say. Came with a really good softcase. // 7
Sound: Neck pickup is really smooth and warm, but kinda overly bassy. Bridge pickup sings quite nicely and does a really good job when playing overdriven sounds. The coilsplit make for some nice smoout single coil sounds. Not fenderlike nice but nice in its own way. Pickup height/levels were set up very poorly on my guitar from the factory. // 7
Action, Fit & Finish: Action was super low but came with string noise on 6th fret as a result. The humbuckers were also set up very poor. Too bassy and neck pickup too close to the strings making it unplayable before adjustments. The poly finish feels abit overdone, like unbreakable-kinda-overdone. Especially noticeable near the neckjoint where its severly overdone. Everything else was good. Decent bookmapping on the top. // 6
Reliability & Durability: This thing will last an lifetime. No kidding. Its built like an tank. I guess the poly armour will stand the test of time too. At a gig I played with this guitar a drunk sob smashed it with a mic stand as hard as he could. Many other guitars woulda been splinters by this treatment, but the Super Swede is barely dented. This thing will not break. It will forever last and your arm will wear out long before the poly finish will. if this is good or bad I'm not sure about.
Pickups are not threaded, so after adjusting the polepieces once too many times the wax just wont hold the screw anylonger and you can easily adjust it with your fingers... // 8
Overall Impression: I play everything from classical to hard rock with alittle bit of jazz on the side. I'd say this guitar is more suitable for rockish music than anything. Its build to last, it sounds good overdriven and it a weird but good neck (once you get used to it). Playing high on the fretboard is wierd since the cutaway starts abit early. Once you have done your setup on this guitar it plays just as good as any guitar, and the coiltap is kinda fun to play with.
The Bridge pickup is further back on the body which makes it alittle different than your normal guitar also.. I kinda feel like I dig in too deep on the strings by accident all the time cause my arms are just so used to be further up the body. Not the average UG review where everything scores 9.5+ but an honest review on this guitar.
I'm not sure I would get a new one if this was stolen. It was just something I bought to try out. Havent resold it you either. Feels different and I kinda like it.
Last but not least. The very good things about this guitar.
* The price! It's alot of guitar for this kinda money.
* Its coolness. Your odd LP cousin-kinda guitar with a unique feel to it.
* I dont know how common it is. but its something different to look at then your Standard fender/gibson/xxx guitars onstage.
* It will last you an lifetime.
* And its helluva cool guitar! // 7
Price paid: $ 540
Purchased from: Local Dealer
Features: It's china made I think?. The neck's very comfortable rather than my epi lp custom. Fretboard wow sing like an ebony but it's not an ebony I don't know what kind of wood they use. The body wow this is a tank it's havier than my other guitars not recommended for thin people. // 10
Sound: Bridge pickup sounded solid when mixed with distortion, the neck pickup is very determined to play jazz or blues type of music. Superswede has its own character when it compared to other types of lespaul guitars.I use a Vox ac15, I think they are a matching pair. // 9
Action, Fit & Finish: It was set-up really good, the action was perfect. But it gets a little buzzy sounding with low strings on low frets, I return to the store to re-setting, after resetting the problem disappeared and you can play it as you like.The action, fit, and finish were outstanding for the price, and which is why I gave the guitar rating a 8 // 8
Reliability & Durability: This guitar seems pretty reliable. It definitely will withstand live playing without backup, but for the absolute certainty you might have another instrument. The strap buttons are solid. The finish is also solid. The hardware was made to serve forever. Everything is sturdy and very well constructed. // 10
Overall Impression: I have been playing music since 20 years ago, I play various types of music such as jazz, hard rock and reegae. This guitar can play all kinds of my music style.I have a Epiphone Les Paul Custom and Fender Telecaster highway one. I don't like to compared of my guitars but this one has a different class. // 10

Groce's energy gives Illinois new life
First-year coach John Groce has the Fighting Illini out to a 9-0 start after a solid win Tuesday.
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – No suit is safe with this start. Think John Groce is intense? Think his historic early run at
Illinois is no accident because of an attitude that's as active as a pot of boiling water?
You haven't seen half of it. Well, if you've seen it all, hope you covered your eyes.
"The most valuable lesson I learned tonight is to wear dark underwear," said Groce, after the
Fighting Illini beat Western Carolina 72-64 on Tuesday to improve to 9-0, the best start for a first-year Illinois coach since 1907-08. "That's important, because I ripped the bottom of my pants out trying to get into the defensive stance."
That's Groce. Energetic. A crack of thunder – usually minus the full moon. He's a man, 41 years old, who will spill his emotion on Assembly Hall's orange paint and laugh about it later.
Results so far warrant a stitch job for his slacks. He's the first Illinois coach to win his first nine games at the university since Fletcher Lane did so more than 100 years ago. That stretch includes a Maui Invitational title in November against a field that featured heavy lifters such as Texas, Marquette and North Carolina.
Some perspective: Groce has achieved the feat by topping foes such as Hawaii and USC, Butler and Georgia Tech. Ol' Lane, meanwhile, started 12-0 back in the 1907-08 season by winning 11 over YMCA and athletic club teams.
"The reason we're in the position we're in is because we've been pretty tough, and we've been together," said Groce, who was hired from Ohio to replace Bruce Weber last March. "And our defensive numbers were top 35 in the country. … You watch SportsCenter, you don't see many charges taken or a big stop or a great hedge on a ball screen or a jump and swipe or a guy diving on a loose ball. What they show are dunks, threes, fast breaks. But what you forget is that what puts you in position to play at the pace everyone wants to talk about right now (is) you've got to get stops."
Those words show Groce's hope for his maiden voyage in Champaign. "Toughness and togetherness" is his motto for a team that returns four starters, nine letterwinners and 11 players from a group that went an uninspiring 17-15 last season and missed the NCAA tournament for the third time in five years. He wants grit to be a turnaround's glue.
The focus has paid off more than once. The Fighting Illini, ranked No. 13, have shown they can sprint from opponents; they won three games at the Maui Invitational by an average of 23.3 points. They've also tiptoed around landmines; they eked out victories over Hawaii, Gardner-Webb and Western Carolina by a combined 10 points.
They've done it with sharpshooting from behind the arc. Entering Tuesday, Groce's team led the country in 3-pointers made (90) and 3-point field goals per game (11.3). Illinois swished at least 10 3-pointers in its first six games for the first time in program history.
"Our identity is toughness and togetherness," said Illinois sophomore guard Tracy Abrams, who averages 11.3 points. "We've just got to remember our motto each time we go out. Every time we play, we've got to remember why we're there and what we're playing for."
They should also remember this: They wouldn't be this far without senior guards Brandon Paul and D.J. Richardson. Paul (17.8 points per game) and Richardson (12.3) lead the team in scoring. Paul also paces Illinois in field goals made (52) and assists (35). Richardson, meanwhile, is the squad's frontrunner in 3-pointers made (25) and rebounds (42).
"I don't talk about them," said Groce, when asked about the ranking, the Fighting Illini's highest since reaching No. 12 in December 2010. "It's a number. Obviously, we're not going to apologize for being 9-0. … My job and the staff's job is to get them to play good basketball. I can't control how people vote, numbers and all that stuff. But we can control game plan. We can control executing better and making sure our team has great attitude."
That attitude will either grow stronger or be shaken. A trip to No. 10 Gonzaga on Saturday will be a test of wills. And don't look now … but the Braggin' Rights game against No. 12 Missouri on Dec. 22 in St. Louis could be a show.
"They're talented," Richardson said of Gonzaga. "We've got to be prepared. Whatever coaches have for us for their offense and for our offense for their defense, we've just got to be prepared and listen to what coach has got to say."
Chances are, Groce's message to Richardson and others will be familiar: Be tough. Be together. Be smart. Believe.
And keep more than one pair of pants.
"No," Groce said with a smile, when asked if the ripped pants could be saved. "This one's gone."
Such is life with a start to remember.

..:: Awards ¦ New England Hall of Fame
Johnny Wedge started square dancing in 1958 with the Friendly Folks Square Dance Club of San Antonio, Texas. He enjoyed it so much that he immediately went to caller's school with Marshall Flippo and C.O. Guest and graduated in 1959.
As a member of the US Air Force, Johnny was subject to numerous assignment changes but still had time to form the Friendly Folks of Chelsea, MA Square Dance Club in 1962 and was their caller until 1964.
Johnny and Barbara were married on November 14, 1964, and wouldn't you know, immediately transferred back to Texas. Not to give up dancing, they immediately joined the Dandy Dancers or Amarillo.
After his discharge from the Air Force, Johnny and Barbara returned to Massachusetts where they formed the Shufflin' Shoes of Billerica in 1969 and was their club caller for 19 years. Additionally, Johnny is the current club caller for the Baldwin Apples of Woburn and has been for approximately 25 years. He also was the class and workshop teacher for the Yankee Twirlers for 6 years, the club caller for the Lancers Square Dance Club of Salem for 12 years and the class and workshop teacher for the Skirts and Flirts of Wilmington for 17 years.
Johnny and Barbara, with all of their commitments, found time to be Presidents of the Tri-State Callers Association from 1991 and 1992, and the Chairman of the New England Council of Callers Associations in 1995 and 1996. Currently, Johnny and Barbara are the Chairman of the CO-Operation Committee.
It is a privilege to recognize their many years of devoted work on behalf of the square and round dance movement, by inducting them into the Square Dance Foundation of NE Hall of Fame.

Champagne Sweets
Hi lovelies,
We're still in the middle of the wedding season, and even if you're not getting married anytime soon, I believe it's never too late to look for inspirations to organize your dream wedding.
Valerie from Champagne Sweets was right to say that there is not a lot of wedding blogs dedicated solely to Canadian brides. For this reason, she created her own web space to showcase inspiring wedding ideas featuring real couples. I personally love the blog post about Nicole and John. Their love story and wedding photos have brought tears to my eyes.
I hope this blog inspires you in preparation for your own special wedding day!
