Our buyers pulled out after we lowered the price due to the shit appraisal.
Who DOES that???
"Sure, we'll buy your house at this higher price, but wait...not at the lower price. That would just be plain SILLY, right???"
Ummm...what, you fucking asshats?
We haven't been given a reason why they pulled out at this point. We are hopeful that the seller of the house that we want to buy is flexible because everything is moving ahead with that house beautifully. If she's flexible, we'll push hard to get this house back in the market and sold lickety-split.
If not, our plans are seriously on hold.
I hate not having control. I hate silly people who do nonsensical things. I may never move again after this.
So, what's new with you guys?

Palast Thinks Outside the Bookstore, On Tour
By Rachel Deahl, Publisher's Weekly
Author Greg Palast managed to put his first book, The Best Democracy Money Can Buy, on the
bestsellers lists thanks in part to a an imaginative tour that took him away from the traditional
venue stopes: bookstores. At packed speaking engagements in churches, movie theaters and
other venues, Palast was able to draw audiences sympathetic to his left-leaning message. That
effort is being repeated once again for the author's latest: Armed Madhouse (Dutton). For the
book, which goes on sale tomorrow, Palast is hitting the road (also tomorrow) on a 17-city tour,
looking to work the same magic. With scheduled radio appearances on Air America, a number
of XM radio shows and some other local programs, Palast will again be avoiding the traditional
author venues (along with the more mainstream press outlets).
Bookstores won't be excluded from Palast's tour entirely though; a number of local
independents will be involved. Powell's, for example, will be selling copies of the book, at
Palast's appearance in Portland, Ore., at the First Unitarian Church. Other sponsors for each
stop range from the Native American Lawyers student organization to RainbowPUSH, making
the tour look and sound more like a political event than anything else. And that's likely no
mistake. Palast, who maintains a popular blog at www.gregpalast.com, has clearly recognized
that even small platforms can grow when you tap your friends.

Automats, Taxi Dances, and Vaudeville
Excavating Manhattan's Lost Places of Leisure
Publication Year: 2009
Winner of the Publication Award for Popular Culture and Entertainment for 2009 from the Metropolitan Chapter of the Victorian Society in America
Named to Pop Matters list of the Best Books of 2009 (Non-fiction)
From the lights that never go out on Broadway to its 24-hour subway system, New York City isn't called "the city that never sleeps" for nothing. Both native New Yorkers and tourists have played hard in Gotham for centuries, lindy hopping in 1930s Harlem, voguing in 1980s Chelsea, and refueling at all-night diners and bars. The slim island at the mouth of the Hudson River is packed with places of leisure and entertainment, but Manhattan's infamously fast pace of change means that many of these beautifully constructed and incredibly ornate buildings have disappeared, and with them a rich and ribald history.
Yet with David Freeland as a guide, it's possible to uncover skeletons of New York's lost monuments to its nightlife. With a keen eye for architectural detail, Freeland opens doors, climbs onto rooftops, and gazes down alleyways to reveal several of the remaining hidden gems of Manhattan's nineteenth- and twentieth-century entertainment industry. From the Atlantic Garden German beer hall in present-day Chinatown to the city's first motion picture studio—Union Square's American Mutoscope and Biograph Company—to the Lincoln Theater in Harlem, Freeland situates each building within its historical and social context, bringing to life an old New York that took its diversions seriously. Freeland reminds us that the buildings that serve as architectural guideposts to yesteryear's recreations cannot be re-created—once destroyed they are gone forever. With condominiums and big box stores spreading over city blocks like wildfires, more and more of the Big Apple's legendary houses of mirth are being lost. By excavating the city's cultural history, this delightful book unearths some of the many mysteries that lurk around the corner and lets readers see the city in a whole new light.

I have always been surprised by how quickly buildings in New York change. In order to remain useful they are subjected to waves of modifications that alter their appearances drastically. An example is the former Horn & Hardart's Times Square Automat profiled in this book. It was built in 1912, fairly recently considering ...
Part I Chinatown, Chatham Square, and the Bowery
Download PDF
pp. 1-4
At one time, historians assure us, the Bowery was actually respectable. When "De Bouwerij" (Old Dutch for "farm") was still a country road leading from the settlement of New Amsterdam to Governor Peter Stuyvesant's estate near what is now Astor Place, it presented a bucolic scene of trees and fields. ...

pp. 5-24
On the lower Bowery, just across from the spot where an elegant Beaux-Arts sculpture announces the Manhattan Bridge, one of the city's least acknowledged thoroughfares sits in repose. The "Chinatown Arcade"—words spelled in peeling white letters affixed to a red plastic sign—is largely hidden beneath ...

pp. 25-42
Tiny Doyers Street, tucked between Chatham Square and equally minute Pell, is so narrow and twisted that it resembles a medieval lane in a European town. To walk through it on a busy weekend afternoon is to enjoy a respite from the hubbub of nearby Bowery and Canal, as few vehicles attempt the street's winding confines. ...
Part II Union Square and the East Village
Download PDF
pp. 43-46
By the 1850s Union Square, with its park and brownstone residences, had become a neighborhood of fashionable society, its pretentions to eminence abetted in no small part by the opening of the Academy of Music, on the corner of 14th Street and Irving Place, on October 2, 1854. The Academy had been designed as an opera house ...

Oscar Hammerstein's Olympia was a towering, fortress-like structure covering the east side of Broadway between 44th and 45th Streets. It had been built in 1895, as the first theater north of 42nd, and held a glassed-in roof garden, a small concert hall, an eighteen-hundred-seat playhouse, and, finally, the Music Hall, ...

To the north of this venerable site lies Union Square ....

On the southwestern corner of 24th Street and Sixth Avenue an aging brick building sits in defiance of the sparkling new condos surrounding it. Until the 1990s and Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's cleanup of sex establishments it was home to Billy's Topless bar; today it is a bagel shop. But this 1886 structure, ...

By 1900 African Americans were growing tired of life in the old Tenderloin.

West 133rd Street between Lenox and Seventh Avenues is a quiet stretch of brownstones and tenement-style apartment houses, the kind of block that typifies this section of central Harlem.

Around 1900, New York's theatrical district crept up Broadway from the 20s and 30s to 42nd Street, nestled into Longacre (later Times) Square, and, despite a further incursion toward Columbus Circle, decided to stay. There really was nowhere else for show business to go: large sections of the Upper West Side had already ...

Howard Johnson's restaurant, which squatted on the northwest corner of Broadway and 46th Street, was one of the last surviving examples of old-style Times Square dinginess until it closed in the summer of 2005.

Beer nerds
Sam Adams, usually a seasonal. Does Dogfish Head count? Microbrewery, but fairly common, at least on the East coast.
Other than that? Why bother!
Looking for ideas for fava beans
You could make some falafal, along with some garbanzo beans--add fresh chopped parsley, onion, garlic, and spice and fry up the patties.
eating in florence
For gelato, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE check out Grom--it's near the duomo, kind of tucked on a back street if I remember correctly, but if you do a google search it should come up. I tried a lot of gelato in Florence, but that was my definite favorite! Also, south of the Arno is Pizzeria Dante--They had great pizza (but really, in Florence, what isn't!?) and my fiance and I got a "flatbread" appetizer, which was basically thin pizza crust, topped with a bit of olive oil and salt. So simple, so delicious.
Enjoy your time! I was there a couple years ago and I just can't wait to get back--mostly for the food!
Recap: Top Chef DC Finale, Part 1
But, gargupie--Ed still WON the challenge. Regardless of his immunity, he put out a great couple dishes and would have gone to the finale anyway. I thought it was an interesting twist to have immunity, as was the "group" challenge--though really, they still each made their own dishes and didn't even seem to collaborate on the overall menu--each just said, "this is what I'm going to make". Next week should be interesting. I'd love to see Ed--or Kevin--win. And Angelo, well, his skills seems to be there, but it's his odd emotional personality that I just can't quite get! We shall see what happens!
Coconut Butter
To add to my oatmeal:
I cook the oatmeal separately, put in bowl. Then, I'll either spoon out some coconut butter into a small dish and warm in the microwave for a few seconds (not long at all!) and then drizzle on top of the oatmeal. Or, if the coconut butter is hard at room temp (which, until it really warms up this summer, it will be hard...) I just "grate" some hard butter from the jar using a fork and drop the bits over my oatmeal. If the oatmeal is hot enough it will melt anyway--sometimes I do this with cold cereal too, in which case the pieces stay hard (more like coconut shards).
I love using oatmeal as a base and then adding other ingredients too--so, normally I will also add a combination of raisins, cinnamon, banana slices, flax, sometimes another nut butter, granola, pumpkin--really, whatever you like!
Hope this helps!
Coconut Butter
I LOVE IT!!! coconut butter though--I haven't tried coconut oil yet. I use coconut butter on oatmeal and even cereal. Sometimes I melt it, other times I just keep it at the solid room temp and scrape off bits from the top. I'm guessing you could add it to baked goods by subbing a bit of the fat (not all I'm guessing)--I am wanting to try it in banana bread! It's just delicious on it's own though, if you ask me!
Kid friendly restaurants in Philadelphia
For a meal, or just for wandering around definitely check out the Reading Terminal Market--there are a few restaurants and cafes, including an ice cream stop, bakeries, and other ethnic eats. SO neat and definitely worth a stop if you are in the city!
Does anyone here like Kombucha?
I LOVE IT! I've tried a few flavors, but any of the ones with ginger are my favorite! I had seen it around the internet on various food blogs and was curious to try it--definitely NOT what I was expecting, but once you REALIZE it is supposed to be kind of vinegary, it's easier to enjoy it (for me, at least!)
Oats for granola--help!
Definitely rolled oats
McDonald's Mac Snack Wrap, A Rant
How is this at all surprising?!?! It's MCDONALDS!!!
Serious Efforts: Gluten-Free Cookies
How about the famous peanut butter cookies with just peanut butter, sugar, and an egg (I usually add some vanilla and occasionally chocolate chips....). Do a google search, and a thousand and one recipes will come up!
Valentine's Day Giveaway: Peanut Butter & Co. Chocolate Hearts
Pure, simple, untouched--dark chocolate. No nuts, crunchies, or toffee!! (And please, 70% cocoa or more!)
Gadgets: Yogurt Maker by Waring Pro
I, too, own the Waring Pro yogurt maker and the first time I made the yogurt, I was struck by how different the taste of the "plain yogurt" was--much more tart than I was used to--not necessarily in a bad way, but it was just different. Anyway, as I used the yogurt maker more, I thought I would try out some Greek-style yogurt. I actually usually start with a yogurt base like Fage 2% or 0% (but I'm not sure this actually makes any difference) but then, after the yogurt churns away for however many hours, I place a cheesecloth over a strainer, and let all the whey drain off. Nutritionally, I'm fairly sure you just lose some carbs and calories and a bit of protein. But, the whey is also what gives the yogurt its tartness, so if you want something let tart, definitely give it a try!
Ideas for a celery
Even with peanut butter spread down the middle?!?!
Gift Guide: For the Chocolate Lover
I was born and raised on PSU Creamery Ice Cream (and I still enjoy it as a student at the University)!!!!! Gotta love Happy Valley and Penn State :)
What's for dinner? Nov. 26?
I'm an American but studying in England right now on a poor student's budget...no Thanksgiving for me this year, so I'm extremely jealous of all you Stateside who are currently filling your bellies with pumpkin-y, herb-y, Thanksgiving deliciousness. Happy eating, and Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Tell me if this cake idea sounds good.
I say, anything with pumpkin is good. And anything with peanut butter is good. Ergo, combine the two and I think that would make for one killer dessert! Definitely some type of fluffy peanut butter filling, made with a bit of cream cheese and whipped cream, nothing too heavy. I like the idea of the white chocolate-maple ganache, but again, I would keep it more light then heavy (I'm thinking a traditional ganache would just be too much--maybe make it more of a thin glaze?). Sounds great though! I'd love a recipe post once you figure it out :)
The Persimmons Are Here
A few days ago I made this bread from Fat Free Vegan which turned out surprisingly well, though I did make some adjustments. It took a night of cooling in the refrigerator, but after sitting for those few hours, the next day they were GREAT and the persimmon flavor really came through for me
I made 12 muffins out of the recipes and adjusted it by using honey instead of agave, no raisins and upped the nuts to 1/2 cup, added 2 eggs, 1/2 cup of quick-cooking oats, and added cinnamon. I also took 4 medium-small persimmons and roughly cut the skin off and just mashed them a bit with a fork--this resulted in maintaining some chunks of fruit through the cooking, and enabled a bit more taste of the actual fruit. Try it out if you are looking for a good baking recipe for the fruit!
Favorite Fall Foods?
PUMPKIN!!!!! Anything.
Too bad I'm studying abroad in the UK right now and I have yet to find canned pumpkin ANYWHERE! I asked a worker at the local grocery store if they had any, and he looked at me like I was crazy.
I will not go the entire fall without some pumpkin bread though, so I think I will just have to break down and roast up a fresh pumpkin myself and make my own puree. More time consuming, yes...but oh, it'll be worth it!
Fall pesca-vegetarian main courses that reheat well?
I'm a recent vegetarian-convert, and as the weather is turning colder, I just made my first Chili of the season! It is such a satisfying and filling dish, and very versatile as well--I used kidney beans (light and dark), cannellini's, and chickpeas, and it is easy to chop up veggies and add them to the mix as well. Serve with some cornbread, top with a bit of cheese and it is the perfect fall vegetarian meal.
Mac and Cheese is always pleasing--depending on whether or not they do dairy, it is another recipe that is easy to adapt and vary depending on what you have on hand, and what flavors the family likes.
What are you eating this weekend?
In true game-day fashion, I made a batch of Chili for me and my boyfriend--divide in two, add beef to his, and simmer for a while until game time! 'Twas delicious (and I think the leftovers will be even better).
Weekend Cook and Tell: Pancakes
The BEST pancakes are so simple, yet come out so delicious (and, they are quite healthy too). Beat 2 egg whites until it starts getting a bit foamy, then add in 1/2 cup of quick cooking oats--it just doesn't work with the 'old fashioned' kind. mix that together, add some cinnamon, vanilla, a dash of milk (and sometimes I add a spoonful of cottage cheese for extra protein), wheat bran, ground flax, whatever really. I add 1/2 sliced banana the other day and it was delicious served with some peanut butter on the side. Fry 'em up like any pancake and bon appetit!
The wildest food you've ever tried and will never try again
Okay, so this isn't the wildest food, per se, but in my opinion the fact that it can even be called food is questionable. There will be some of you who hate me for saying this, but here goes--
SPAM!! My mom used to pan-fry it when I was a child, and I dreaded it every time. Eventually I was smart enough to hide it in the bottom of our pantry where she couldn't find it, and eventually she just gave up trying to serve it to me.
If 'wild' can mean crazy,unique, and slightly unpalatable compared to any other real food I would ever allow to touch my lips, than this is definitely a wild food. Bleh!
Do You Have a Favorite Greek Yogurt?
Fage is good, but Oikos is definitely my favorite! (Chobani is great too). But all PLAIN. None of those fruity add-ins.
HELP: Chocolate Cake challenge (Need Flourless Vegan recipe)
I know you said chocolate CAKE, but perhaps some type of chocolate mousse or pudding could work, too? Or, better yet, how bout a Chocolate Ice Cream Cake? Then, you could still put candles in it and present it in the same way as a regular cake.
For a summer birthday, it might just hit the spot. I don't have any recipes to recommend, but I'm sure there are a bounty of recipes and variations out there!

The Steaks Are High When It Comes To Relationships.
And for Lisa's young lover, he liked his medium-rare with a side of perfectly fried, French-Fried Potatoes. As I make my way through Central Park, a hint of summer is finally in the air, which for any city girl can mean only one thing. That it's time to go country. From the Hamptons to Fire Island, there are few things more badass then any girl who can finally master the art of grilling.
I walk into class and begin to assemble my ingredients for today's recipe. Chef Will, our substitute, greets me at the door. He has an infectious smile light as spirits and after all of the braising and roasting and pickling and poaching, I am relieved to find a simple grill and a basic fry would round out our day.

In 2006, the ASC community began encouraging the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to establish a uniform quality reporting system that would allow ASCs to publicly demonstrate their performance on quality measures. CMS listened and implemented the Ambulatory Surgical Center Quality Reporting (ASCQR) Program on October 1, 2012.
There are currently 10 measures on which Medicare-certified facilities are required to report in order to avoid future Medicare payment reductions.
Here is a breakdown, by measure, of what is currently required:
ASCs must continue to report on measures ASC-1: Patient Burn, ASC-2: Patient Fall, ASC-3: Wrong Site/Side/Patient/Procedure/Implant, ASC-4: Hospital Admission/Transfer and ASC-5: Prophylactic Intravenous (IV) Antibiotic Timing. These claims-based measures are entered as G-codes on the CMS-1500 claim form.
ASC-6: Safe Surgery Checklist Use and ASC-7: ASC Facility Volume Data on Selected ASC Surgical Procedures. Data must be reported between January 1 and August 15, 2015 via CMS' QualityNet web site.
ASC-8: Influenza Vaccination Coverage among Healthcare Personnel data collection will take place for the influenza season between October 1, 2014, and March 31, 2015. The reporting deadline has been extended to August 15, 2015. To report ASC-8 through the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) as required, someone from your ASC must register with NHSN. This registration process can take several weeks, so ASCs are advised to register immediately. Click here for instructions.
ASC-9: Endoscopy/Poly Surveillance: Appropriate Follow-Up Interval for Normal Colonoscopy in Average Risk Patients and ASC-10: Endoscopy/Poly Surveillance: Colonoscopy Interval for Patients with a History of Adenomatous Polyps – Avoidance of Inappropriate Use are web-based measures that will be reported via QualityNet in 2015. This aggregate data must be reported by all Medicare-certified ASCs, regardless of specialty or case mix. If your center does not perform colonoscopies, for both ASC-9 and ASC-10 you will enter "0" in the numerator and the denominator.
Citing operational concerns with the measure, CMS has made ASC-11: Cataracts: Improvement in Patient's Visual Function within 90 Days Following Cataract Surgery a voluntary measure. Please note that if you choose to participate in reporting this voluntary measure, any data reported may become publicly available in the future.
Facilities do not need to report data for ASC-12: Facility Seven-Day Risk-Standardized Hospital Visit Rate after Outpatient Colonoscopy as the data will be pulled from claims previously submitted by the hospital that the patient visits within seven days of the colonoscopy.

Freestyle skiing at the 2014 Winter Olympics is near an end, but it's not going out quietly. The inaugural women's halfpipe competition was one of the most exciting events at Sochi thus far, and it is hard to fathom how organizers had left it off the slate for so long.
Jason Stahl of NBC Olympics tweeted out the list of podium finishers on Thursday:
Gold: @maddiebowman Silver: @MarieMartinod Bronze: @AyanaOnozuka women's #freeski #halfpipe. #Sochi2014— Jason Stahl (@stahl_jason) February 20, 2014
Maddie Bowman of the United States wowed the judges with a brilliant run and went on to win the first gold medal of this thrilling event. She was undoubtedly the best of the 12 participants that advanced through qualifiers, giving her all in her second run of the finals.
Marie Martinod of France wasn't able to top her qualifying score of 88.40, earning silver after earning a score of 85.40 from the judges in the finals. Japan's Ayana Onozuka claimed bronze with a respectable 83.20 on her second run.
Let's take a look at how every competitor scored during the final round of the halfpipe event, recap the top performances and highlight what's next for fans of the sport.
|Best Score
|Maddie Bowman
|Marie Martinod
|Ayana Onozuka
|Virginie Faivre
|Janina Kuzma
|Brita Sigourney
|Rosalind Groenewoud
|Mirjam Jaeger
|Annalisa Drew
|Amy Sheehan
|Angeli VanLaanen
|Anais Caradeux
Bowman, one of the American favorites going into this event, lived up to expectations by topping the podium.
Skyler Wilder of NBC Olympics was blown away by Bowman's closing performance:
Another HUGE run from #TeamUSA's @maddiebowman! Upped her score again! Holding down 1st w/ only @MarieMartinod left to drop.— Skyler Wilder (@NorthWestWilder) February 20, 2014
The 20-year-old star should be back in 2018 and clearly enjoys her sport, telling Maddie Oatman of Mother Jones:
I think we want people to see that side of us—just being kids goofing off. That's what we do. That's why we love what we do. That's how we've gotten so far in skiing.
Perhaps most impressively, Bowman—a back-to-back defending X Games champion in this event—is just two months removed from double knee surgery. She clearly made a complete recovery and gave her top performance during her final run of the Sochi Games.
Martinod proved that she is still one of the top ski halfpipe performers in the world, even though she once retired from competitive skiing back in 2006 to raise her daughter.
Onozuka was a steady performer throughout qualifiers and into the finals, earning an 83.80 to make the top 12 then nailing a great routine for an 83.20 to snag the bronze.
Team USA's other stars weren't as impressive in the medal round as they were in qualifiers. Brita Sigourney, who finished in second place leading up to the finals, would never recover from a tough fall on her first run and came in sixth.
Ouch! X Games champ @britasig just deck checked, fell to flat... Hope she is OK! #halfpipe #Sochi2014— Skyler Wilder (@NorthWestWilder) February 20, 2014
She tweeted shortly after the qualifiers that she was looking forward to the finals.
Welp that was fun! Now let's do it again!!!— Brita Sigourney (@britasig) February 20, 2014
Unfortunately for U.S. fans, she did not replicate her early successes during the medal round.
Angeli VanLaanen also let the pressure get to her, faltering on both her final runs and coming in 11th. However, it's remarkable that the American was even able to get this far, as she was out of competition for three years while battling Lyme disease.
Annalisa Drew came in ninth after earning a 66.40, but she did land the only 1080 trick of the competition.
What's Next
There is only one more freestyle skiing competition left before the end of the Winter Games. That would be women's ski cross, which takes place on Friday throughout the day.
Starting at 2:45 a.m. ET, fans can tune in to watch these women attempt to qualify. After five rounds, the field will be whittled down to a final few that have proven worthy of competing for the gold in Sochi. That run is scheduled to start at 5:41 a.m. ET.
The United States does not have any competitors in the event, but American fans of the sport in general should still tune in to catch the athletes competing in a thrilling sport that will mark the end of the discipline in Sochi.
As for the freestyle halfpipe, the event's future is certainly bright. With a plethora of young, talented stars, ranging from gold medalist Bowman to Annalisa Drew, the field figures to remain competitive at the World Championships and beyond.
Bowman in particular, at just 19, has a long career ahead of her, and given her success on the sport's biggest stage so early, it's hard to see her failing to be successful in the future.

Green tea is bad for hypothyroidism
Everyone is on the Green Tea weight loss kick well I found out it has too much floride in it so if you have hypothyroidism you shouldn't be drinking it. It robs the calcium from you too the article says.
Google Green+Tea+Hypothyrodism there are many articles. I avoid toothpaste with floride in it too.

I've never heard this before. They specifically mention the fluoride content in green tea and a possible issue between fluoride consumption and true hypothyroidism. (I'm still looking for published studies on this)
I found that fluoride accumulation in tea leaves is strongest in the older leaves. White tea is made from the newest leaves and buds from the plant and contains virtually no fluoride, and retains antioxidant levels.
So drink white tea if you have concerns
Oolong tea tested at about half the fluoride content of green.
For the record, this will have no impact on the vast majority of people out there. Green tea has been shown to
weight loss in published studies, though the results were not really impressive
I wouldn't give it up unless your doctor advises you to. Among many other benefits, drinking 3 cups of tea daily has been associated with an 11% reduction in heart attacks

On About Hypothyroid and Flouride
Thyroid Disease Why We Changed Our Minds About Water Fluoridation
The Fluoride/Thyroid Connection
From Richard L. Shames MD & Karilee H. Shames PhD, RN, for About com
Updated: April 27, 2006
About.com Health's Disease and Condition content is reviewed by our Medical Review Board
Like many of our professional colleagues, we long held a belief that the practice of water fluoridation was highly beneficial and relatively low-risk. Currently, we feel otherwise. We are now convinced that it is of small benefit, and carries an unacceptably large risk.
What changed our thinking so dramatically on this important issue? While reviewing medical studies for a new book, we were shocked to learn about the disturbing fluoride-thyroid connection.
We had been a prevention-oriented doctor-nurse team working together for twenty-five years. We had raised three children together, and had always viewed good dental care as an integral part of a complete health program. After training at Harvard and Walter Reed respectively, Rich worked at the National Institutes of Health and Karilee served as a nursing professor, before we each eventually settled into private practice.
Nothing on this path shook our faith in fluoride. In fact, it was not until we were working with a New York publisher that we really did our homework on this subject. The topic of our book, Thyroid Power (HarperCollins 2001), was the unexplained skyrocketing of thyroid disease and its spin-off epidemics of fatigue, depression, anxiety, infertility, and overweight.
While researching influences on the thyroid gland, we were astounded by the large number of fluoride citations. We were confronted with long lists of articles, from scientists around the world, reporting in medical journals about the harmful effects of fluoride.
We then did a review of the history of thyroid treatment, which showed that fluoride had previously been used by the medical profession to deliberately slow down overactive thyroid glands. It is no longer used for that purpose, only because now there are stronger anti-thyroid drugs [like Tapazole and PTU].
This surprising data was at first an unexpected challenge to our medical and nursing education. But then we recalled being taught that no substance has just one action on the human body. They all have multiple actions. Every medicine has a good action, called the benefit, and other less desirable actions called side effects.
In hindsight, it did seem odd that fluoridated water was the only substance ever discovered that had a great benefit with no side effects at all. Once we thought about it carefully, it also seemed curious that fluoride was the only medicine ever to be added to public drinking waters.
At this point, we felt compelled to investigate further. After reviewing hundreds of articles and books, it became clear that, regardless of any other benefits and side effects, fluoride could indeed be considered a hormone disruptor. These are a class of chemicals from many unrelated sources, that have the unintended consequence of altering the proper function of important hormones in the body, such as thyroid.
For example, in the Archives of Oral Biology (1982, Volume 27), Kleiner found that fluoride interfered with proper metabolism of cyclic-AMP and thus diminished cellular energy.
Next, a career university scientist showed us a large textbook about the mechanisms of fluoride tissue harm. Kenneth Kirk in his carefully written volume called Biochemistry of the Elemental Halogens and Inorganic Halides (Plenum Press NY, NY: 1991), described fluorides remarkable disruption of enzyme systems.
We then consulted with a toxicology expert, who explained still another harmful fluoride effect. It progressively disrupts the sensitive G-proteins. These are the building blocks of our bodys hormone receptors. (For example, receptors are where thyroid hormone actually starts doing its job at the cell level.)
But at what dilution did fluoride have this disruptive effect? At high concentrations, it is well known to be acutely poisonous and caustic. Could it be that at the low concentrations in municipal water, teeth are being helped without thyroids being harmed?
No, the data showed otherwise. Contradicting the hoped-for scenario is research going back half a century. For instance, we came across a 1958 study by Galletti and Joyet, published in the prestigious Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism. The paper was titled, Effect of Fluorine on Thyroidal Iodine Metabolism and Hyperthyroidism. These scientists showed that fluoride in the range of 2-5 mg. per day (what people now ingest in a fluoridated area) was enough to slow down thyroid function.
Subsequent research on fluoride/thyroid was just as worrisome. Moreover, an added problem appeared. We learned that the source of fluoride for municipalities is not sodium fluoride, the compound used by researchers to determine benefit versus risk. Instead, surprisingly, we found that what is added to almost all city water when it is fluoridated is the industrial waste product hydrofluosilicic acid.
This scrubber waste item, generally from phosphate fertilizer production, is frequently contaminated with varying amounts of cadmium, aluminum, arsenic, lead, or mercury. We found serious studies showing that minute amounts of these heavy metals (much less than would generally be considered toxic) are harmful in various ways when combined with fluoride. Moreover, we were amazed to find out that not a single safety test has ever been performed on hydrofluocilicic acid!
Thus, we came out against fluoride in our Thyroid Power book. But fluoride is not simply an isolated problem for identified thyroid patients. As a widespread hormone disruptor it is very likely to be causing wider mischief, even at supposed safe levels.
This larger environmental issue became the topic of our more recent book, Feeling Fat, Fuzzy, or Frazzled? (Hudson/Penquin, 2005) With fluoride added to city water, many millions of people are deliberately exposed to a hormone-altering agent. There is certainly now a massive epidemic of low thyroid, low adrenal, and low functioning sex glands. Many people rightly complain, There must be something wrong with my hormones.
Fluoride is, of course, just one of a great many environmental hormone disruptors. However, it is the only one we purposely put into our drinking water. Perhaps the most sensitive among us are like the canaries brought down into the mines. They might be feeling the adverse effects first. Their vague symptoms of ill health could be the early warning signal for us all.
But, do not just take our word for it. Get info from a variety of sources. A good start would be to go to the environmental website CanaryClub for an inexpensive home test kit measuring your saliva levels of thyroid, adrenal, and reproductive hormones.
If your levels are low, it could be that the not-so-innocent water additive is playing a role. You might be as surprised as we were. And maybe you too will change your mind about fluoride.

Decide for yourselves - Use white tea instead
Green tea may be helpful to those suffering from hypothyroidism, but get it wrong and it might work against you.
Hypothyroidism is caused by an underactive thyroid.
It occurs when the thyroid gland does not make enough thyroxine, causing many of the body's functions to slow down.
According to Patient UK, common symptoms of hypothyroidism include tiredness, weight gain, constipation, aches and pains, feeling cold, dry skin, lifeless hair, fluid retention, mental slowing, and depression.
There are no scientific studies on green tea extract and hypothyroidism.
But green tea contains catechins and caffeine. Scientific studies have found that they increase metabolism and burn fat.
There may be some truths about the benefits of green tea extract and hypothyroidism, but beware of green tea that contains too much fluoride.
According to the United States National Research Council, "several lines of information indicate an effect of fluoride exposure on thyroid function."
Fluoride and Hypothyroidism
The Fluoride Action Network explained:
Fluoride's potential to impair thyroid function is perhaps best illustrated by the fact that - up until the 1970s - European doctors used fluoride as a thyroid-suppressing medication for patients with HYPER-thyroidism (over-active thyroid).
Fluoride was utilized because it was found to be effective at reducing the activity of the thyroid gland - even at doses as low as 2 milligrams/day.
Now, this is controversial.
In the United States, an individual drinking 2 litres of fluid a day can consume as much as 8 milligrams of fluoride a day.
Perhaps this explains why the drug Synthroid, which is used to treat hypothyroidism, is now one of the top 5 prescribed drugs in the United States?
Green Tea and Fluoride
Tea plants accumulate fluoride from soil and water.
The older the leaves, the more fluoride it contains. According to some sources, mature, old leaves can contain 10 to 20 times more fluoride than young leaves of the same tea plant.
Youngest leaves are the highest quality. Green tea extract is usually made from the lowest grade leaves that are older and more mature.
It is important to purchase green tea extract from reputable manufacturers who undergo stringent testing of its chemical make-up.
If you are consuming green tea extract, follow the instruction from the manufacturer and do not overdose.

"Why Green Tea Would be Healthy EXCEPT for This One Dangerous Issue"
Enough said choose for yourself and ask your doctor.
Why Green Tea Would be Healthy EXCEPT for This One Dangerous Issue
by SixWise.com
Green tea has emerged as a major natural player in fighting diseases like heart disease and cancer and helping with weight loss. Many people sip it religiously everyday in the hopes that it will make them healthier. Here is just a short list of some of the conditions green tea is supposed to help:
Rheumatoid arthritis
High cholesterol levels
Heart disease
Impaired immune function
Obesity, overweight
High blood sugar levels
It's true that green tea contains health-boosting antioxidants, but can they make up for the high levels of fluoride?
And, in fact, green tea would be healthy-largely because it's a rich source of catechin polyphenols, namely epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which is a potent antioxidant-except for one glaring issue: Green tea contains large amounts of fluoride. Black tea also contains fluoride, but the amount in green tea is about double that in black tea. A study in the January 2005 issue of the Journal of American Medicine also found that instant teas appear to contain excessive levels of fluoride.
How Does Fluoride Get Into Tea?
"The tea plant is known to accumulate fluoride from the soil and water," says Michael Whyte, M.D., professor of medicine, pediatrics and genetics. "We don't know how much variation there is from brand to brand and year to year."
Is Fluoride Harmful?
Drinking high levels of fluoride can cause bone-forming cells to lay down extra skeletal tissue, which increases bone density. At the same time, it also increases bone brittleness that can result in a disease known as skeletal fluorosis. So while bones are more dense, they are also more brittle. Skeletal fluorosis can produce:
Bone, muscle and joint pain
Calcification of ligaments
Bone spurs
Fused vertebrae
Difficulty moving joints
Says Dr. Whyte, "When fluoride gets into your bones, it stays there for years, and there is no established treatment for skeletal fluorosis, No one knows if you can fully recover from it." In other words, fluoride accumulates in your body.
Skeletal fluorosis, which has crippled the man above, is caused by consuming high levels of fluoride.
And according to one estimate, the first phase of skeletal fluorosis could easily develop in as few as five years if a person were to consume the amount of fluoride found in three or four cups of green tea every day. That's because studies have shown that most green teas have more fluoride than the EPA's safe limit for drinking water, which is 4 parts per million (ppm).
Fluoride can also affect the thyroid. Specifically, it suppresses thyroid function, leading to hypothyroidism. This is a well-known fact, as, ironically, the amount of fluoride in a typical cup of tea is actually much higher than amounts that were used decades ago as medication for hyperthyroidism, to reduce thyroid activity.
Fluoride, Fluoride Everywhere
Perhaps the tea on its own would not be as much of an issue if Americans weren't already exposed to fluoride from other sources, but this isn't the case. Americans get fluoride from fluoridated water (which is also likely used to steep the tea), toothpastes, Teflon-coated cookware, some wines and sparkling mineral waters and chewing tobacco.
Even so, British and African studies conducted in the 1990s have found that some people are drinking between 5.8 ppm and 9 ppm of fluoride everyday from tea alone! Remember that the EPA's safe limit for drinking water is 4 ppm.
Fluoride Together With Aluminum?
Another issue? The fluoride in tea exists along with aluminum. When these two compounds are combined it can actually increase the potential toxicity of fluoride, especially in relation to neurological and renal damage, and increases the extent to which aluminum can be absorbed by the body, which has been linked to Alzheimer's disease.
One Final Thought ...
As an aside, it's also been found that green tea can contain high levels of the pesticide DDT and a similar one called Dursba. So, if you do choose to drink green tea, you may be better off buying organic. This won't affect the fluoride content, but at least you will be spared drinking pesticides in your cup of tea.

■ EDITORIAL: FEDERAL SPENDING pushes taxpayers to edge of cliff
Here's an idea. How about stopping the financing of every other country on the planet (many of them hate our guts anyway, but love our money) and take care of our own for a change? It doesn't take a Democrat, Republican or a genius to figure that out. I was taught by my parents at a very young age that you cannot buy friends or love. It doesn't work for the country, either. It just makes us a laughingstock all around the world. By the way, where's their help in any form when we suffer a disaster in this country?
■ AUTHORITIES: SYNTHETIC MARIJUANA at Green Gorilla leads to arrest
I'm glad we have this criminal selling fake weed locked up. On another topic, my house or car has been broken into five times this year, and somebody shot my dog. I realize this sounds like a country song, but seriously, I'd rather have the police looking for actual criminals.

■ HENRY: LEAVE YOUR knives at home when visiting government offices
My only experience with my pocket knife was when I went for jury duty at the Justice Center in Randall County numerous years ago. As I walked up to the Justice Center, I noticed a sign they had posted on their entry door about pocket knives not being allowed inside the building. I went back to my car and left it in the trunk. I then proceeded through their check-in process without any delays. I just wish jury duty could have been as quick as their check-in process.
■ LETTER: WANT PUBLIC assistance? Pass a drug test
Let's make all the drug testing facilities money. I suggest tests for all assistance receivers. That includes farm subsidies, Social Security, people who use public roads, etc. Why don't we just line every American up each month and test for drugs and alcohol? While we are at it, why don't we make sure no one that committed adultery gets benefits. Another lame costly idea by a lame governor and lieutenant governor.

In recent weeks Mozambique reported heavy rains and storms throughout the country resulting in severe floods in the country's southern Gaza Province. Over 90 people have died and 211,000 displaced according to a UN report.
Further heavy rains are expected in the center and north of the country in coming days, so the number of people affected could rise. This critical situation has been declared a state of emergency by the Mozambican government.
Due to the interruption of water and sanitation systems, and the influx of people into resettlement camps, waterborne diseases are increasingly being notified.
Over 366 cases of severe diarrhea have been reported in Pemba City, Cabo Delgado Province since January 2. The presence of cholera in 22 samples (14 from Pemba, 4 from Mecufi, and 2 from Metuge) has been confirmed through microbiological laboratory testing at the Instituto Nacional de Saúde (National Health Institute, INS) of the Ministry of Health since January 30.
Health experts are concerned about the imminent threat of a cholera epidemic. The national Africhol team is expanding surveillance in the affected areas to closely survey the epidemic. Further samples from Nampula, Cabo Delgado, and other provinces are still being tested.
Authorities have taken the following response measures to control the outbreaks: chlorination of water sources, dissemination of key health education messages, and disinfection of affected homes.

The roar in the pits and at the drop of the green flag is pure racing. Loud V-8 rumbles and the whine of the four-cylinders combine to produce a sweet melody for the dirt track, auto-racing fans.
Shady Oaks Speedway is a 1/3-mile oval built back in 1986 and has seen good days and bad days over the years. A renaissance of sorts is now underway under the new ownership of Bobby and Rosemary Stacy and their son, Keith. The family volunteered at the track for about two to three years before becoming owners.
The Stacys have owned the track for just about a year and will complete their first full year of racing in October.
"It's been fun. My husband and I are both retired, but we work constantly here at the track. We're happy, and we laugh and still giggle about things," said Rosemary.
Their son, Keith, has joined them and helps out as much as possible. The work never ends, as once a meet is over, preparation for the next meet (the track runs every two weeks from March through October) begins.
There is a lot of skill in prepping the track for the races. It can't be too wet or too dry. Cars on a too wet track will slide all over the place, just as they will if it's too dry.
"It's definitely an art to properly prep the track," Rosemary said.
Small, dirt track racing across the country has seen its up and downs. With more media attention on the big NASCAR races and the like, the dirt track racers are having a tough time finding tracks on which to run.
The recent closure of the track in Edna has actually helped the Shady Oaks Speedways, as a few of the drivers who used to race in Edna have found their way to the Goliad raceway.
The Shady Oaks Speedway is not a money maker for the Stacys. Crowds have been getting better and, on a good weekend, the track will have about 75-80 drivers and cars to put on a show for about 350-400 fans.
"We just want it to break even," said Rosemary.
The races themselves are pure dirt track racing; side by side, wheel to wheel and bumper to bumper. Crashes and bumps are commonplace and the old adage, "if you bring back a car after a race with no dents, you ain't racing," rings true.
Drivers and mechanics, most often a father and son team or brothers and cousins, prepare their cars at home in the family's garage. Pit crews for the drivers include moms, daughters and girlfriends too. A couple of the ladies also get behind the wheel on any given Saturday night.
"Its a lot of fun and a big rush to be out there driving," said race car driver Timothy Ressman.
Ressman drives a Monte Carlo with a big 350 cubic inch Chevrolet motor. The bright blue No. 32 leads the pack in the pro-stock class and was out front on Saturday night until a mechanical problem forced him to pull off the track during a caution.
The Shady Oaks Speedway provides a good racing venue for several classes of cars, beginning with an infield go-kart track for the youngsters and going all the way up to pro modified and prostock.
Almost all classes produce some "drifting" through the corners as the speed and weight of the cars fight against the centrifugal force of the dirt-banked curve. It's the skill of the drivers that get them and their cars back on the straight home stretch heading toward the checkered flag. The racing is highly competitive with the drivers jockeying for position around each turn and down the straightaways.
Check out the Shady Oaks website for more information and to find out when to pay a visit to the Goliad track for a fun evening of local, dirt track auto racing at shadyoakspeedway.com or give them a call at (361) 645-8353.

How to Avoid Holiday Budget Fights With Your Lover
Thankfully, couples who follow the following five rules for holiday spending should ring in the New Year without financial or relationship woes.
1. Talk.
"The very first step in any of this is to set up a mechanism for dialogue," says Ken Kamen, president of Mercadien Asset Management. "It's not just important at the holidays, but for all the things you buy throughout the course of the year -- are you going to buy his golf clubs or your shoes? It's a constant exchange."
When you set up a framework for talking about money, it shouldn't look too differently from the way many large companies do it, Kamen says, suggesting that couples make it a point to get together "once a quarter" to discuss goals.
"The more you communicate the better it's going to be," he says. "When it comes to matters of money, there can be a lot of resentment there about who spent what or who spent more throughout the course of the year, and keeping an open dialogue going is the best way to prevent that."
When you get together to discuss your financial picture, Suzanna de Baca, vice president of wealth strategies at Ameriprise Financial, says you should keep a record of what you and your spouse think at the time.
"Write down your plans," de Baca says. "As you work through your holiday budget, record your discussion. This can help you and your spouse come to a compromise and can also create a document for you to refer back to throughout the holiday weeks and can even be a point of reference when the 2014 holiday season comes around."
2. No surprises -- even if you think you're being thoughtful.
"This can be confusing for any relationship," Kamen says. "It's like we share everything, but wait, we don't share everything. As a couple, the two of you are an economic unit and the best gift you can give your partner is intimacy -- the intimacy of knowing what you're doing and how much you're spending."
Both partners need to be "engaged" with a complete picture of how much is being spent from the household budget, and unfortunately, surprises can lead to resentment, Kamen says.
Even if you're tempted to surprise your significant other with a lavish gift, de Baca says to keep long-term goals in mind.
"It can be easy to stray from your budget during the holiday season, but be sure that your holiday budget correlates with your overall monthly or annual budget," she says. "If you have extra spending money this year -- great! Pick out a special treat for someone on your list. If you have spent more over the course of the year than you intended, think about scaling back your gift list or holiday budget."
3. Plan what you're going to spend.
"When it comes to discussing money, it's always good to stick to the facts," says Donna Tonrey, a marriage and family therapist and director of the masters program in psychology at La Salle University in Philadelphia.
"In this case, the facts would be setting a budget, who they need to buy for and what they will spend on each other. If the couple can agree on the facts, they have a much better chance of sharing their feelings about those facts," she says.
Planning a holiday budget is not difficult, Kamen says. It's something everyone can do, so there aren't many valid excuses for not doing it.
"You know what you're able to spend," he says. "You know Christmas is coming, so sit down and decide as a couple what your budget will be."

Warriors fans who are unable to make the trip to Sydney for the NRL grand final will be able to watch Sunday's match on giant screens at Mt Smart Stadium and Captain Cook Wharf in Auckland.
The Auckland Council decided yesterday that the stadium - nicknamed "the Fortress" by Warriors fans - and the wharf in downtown Auckland will be turned into fan zones so supporters can watch the action in a crowd atmosphere.
At the weekend, it was unclear if any Rugby World Cup venues could be used for Warriors fans because of a contractual ban on rival sporting codes using Queens and Captain Cook Wharves.
Prime Minister John Key said he was pleased at the co-operative approach taken by the International Rugby Board, Rugby World Cup 2011 and the Auckland Council to cater for rugby union and league fans on Sunday.
League fans will be able to watch three finals - the NSW Cup between the Auckland Vulcans and the Bulldogs; the Toyota Cup between the Junior Warriors and the Cowboys; and the NRL grand final between the Vodafone Warriors and Manly - on two giant screens at Mt Smart.
Those wanting to watch the All Blacks v Canada match on Sunday afternoon and the Warriors in the evening will be able to do so at Captain Cook Wharf.
The other two Rugby World Cup matches on Sunday - Wales v Fiji and Ireland v Italy - will not be shown on screens at the wharf as the NRL final cuts across both matches.
Auckland Mayor Len Brown said last night: "Providing two fan zones is another example of our responsiveness to the community and a testament to the speed at which we can create events for residents across Auckland.
"I hope to see Aucklanders out in force supporting the Vodafone Warriors this Sunday.
"No matter where you choose to watch, the message is the same: 'Go the Warriors.' "
For fans wanting to go to Sydney, Air New Zealand is laying on a second charter flight with 300 seats on Grabaseat from 9am today. The first planeload sold out in under an hour on Sunday, Grabaseat manager Duane Perrott said.
Qantas also added additional flights and increased capacity out of Auckland for the final.
Meanwhile, the Warriors may have more support in Sydney than they realise.
Adrian Proszenko, sports writer for the Sydney Morning Herald, asked readers during a live blog who they would support in this weekend's grand finals - the New Zealand Warriors or Manly - and got a mixed response.
A recent online poll, taken before the semifinals, found the Warriors to be the most liked of the final four and Manly the most hated.
Praises are being sung of the Warriors by Australian media before of Sunday's game and it could well turn out to be a situation where Sydneysiders will be cheering for a team coming from across the Ditch.
"In some ways this is a dream grand final, because only in our wildest dreams could we have imagined the Warriors would be there," reporter Glenn Jackson wrote in the Sydney Morning Herald.
The paper said the Warriors were now "seemingly unstoppable" after describing the the team's qualification as "unexpected".
Manly has been called everything from "Sea Evils" to "rich kids" and "whingers".
"You gotta hate them, it's in our culture," said Ryan Love, who supports the Wests Tigers.
Phil Rothfield, the sports editor of the Daily Telegraph, said if the Warriors beat Manly on Sunday it would "catapult the Kiwis past the Kangaroos for the first time in more than a century".
"They already hold the World Cup from 2008, the Four Nations trophy from last year, and now they're just 80 minutes away from the NRL trophy, the Toyota Cup and the NSW Cup."

Secret service
|It has been suggested that this article be merged with Secret police. (Discuss) Proposed since November 2015.
A secret service is a government agency, intelligence agency, or the activities of a government agency, concerned with the gathering of intelligence data. The tasks and powers of a secret service can vary greatly from one country to another. For instance, a country may establish a secret service which has some policing powers (such as surveillance) but not others. The powers and duties of a government organization may be partly secret and partly not. The organization may be said to operate openly at home and secretly abroad, or vice versa. Secret police and intelligence agencies can usually be considered secret services.
The French police officer Joseph Fouché is sometimes regarded as the primary pioneer within secret intelligence. Among other things, he is alleged to have prevented several murder attempts on Napoleon during his time as First Consul Bonaparte (1799-1804) through a large and tight net of various informers.
For instance, the KGB[1] were a form of secret police.

At a time when original intellectual properties (IP) are considered to be rarer than ever before, Ubisoft's bold unveiling of Watch_Dogs wows audiences last year. Since then a steady campaign of screenshots, trailers, interviews and the occasional hands-on presentation has ensured that players remain in invested in the idea, and Electronic Theatre's time with the videogame suggests that it's wise to keep the videogame firmly on your radar.
Despite promises of grand innovation Watch_Dogs plays to the established template for open world videogames. Players will run through the streets, steal cars, pursue their enemies and engage in espionage all within a single hour of gameplay, and its unique invention takes place within this predefined ruleset. Watch_Dogs features a much greater level of interactivity than any other open world videogame simply by giving players command of typically inanimate objects.
Video cameras, ATMs, bollards, bridges and much more bow to your whim as you can command them to do your bidding. The actions available are limited – after all, what more can a bridge do than be raised or lowered? – but the ability to directly influence your success or failure is not to be overlooked. Hacking a phone to distract the owner, the ATM to cause a public distraction, raising a bollard to prevent a pursuer, these are the most obvious of interaction but after just a few minutes with Watch_Dogs players will immediately begin to think of more inventive opportunities.
While the mission structure will often demand that the player take control of specific items or objects, it's in the moments of creativity that Watch_Dogs is at its finest. Players are able to connect to local items in all paces, from stationary to sprinting, aboard a train to driving a car. The connection is well signposted, perfectly balanced in terms of time delay and inviting experimentation at all times. Watch_Dogs may not strike a new chord for open world gameplay itself, but it certainly does for action videogame design.
Watch_Dogs presents a solid argument for utilising next-generation hardware for more than just visual quality: there is so much interactivity that you're simply spoilt for choice. Watch_Dogs has the potential to be a landmark release – a turning point for open world experiences – but even in the worst case scenario Ubisoft are creating what is likely to be an enjoyable free roaming action videogame, if nothing more. Watch_Dogs will be available for all home consoles and PC this winter, and Electronic Theatre will bring you much more on the videogame in the near future.

By Thomas Garcia: Quay County Sun
Former Rattler football star Billy Jack Turnbeaugh is being considered for the list of nominees for the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame.
If inducted, Turnbeaugh will be in the company of sports greats such as baseball's Henry "Hank" Aaron, football's Joe Willie Namath, and basketball's Charles Barkley.
"It will be a tremendous honor if I am accepted to be voted on." said Turnbeaugh, who now lives in Nevada.
Turnbeaugh played as a defensive tackle for the Auburn Tigers from 1951-1952. He was an All-South Eastern Conference defensive tackle in 1951. And in 1952, Turnbeaugh was voted most valuable player by Auburn's "A" club members. In the same year, Colliers Magazine (Aug. 30) designated Turnbeaugh as the "Unsung College Lineman of the Year."
Turnbeaugh only played for Auburn his sophomore and junior years and was drafted for the Korean war after his junior year. Following his military service, he returned to Auburn and completed his education and graduated in 1956 with a degree in history and physical education.
For consideration in Alabama's Sports Hall of Fame, the former Rattler has to be sponsored by a resident of Alabama and submit a biographical history that includes his statistical accomplishments in sports. Turnbeaugh will then be voted onto a waiting list of inductees for the Hall of fame. Once on the list he will remain on there until he is inducted or dies.
Turnbeaugh's sponsor is Tom Bryan, a former Auburn Tiger and a resident of Opelika, Ala. Like Turnbeaugh, he's had a lifelong association with football. Bryan is a member of the Auburn Football Lettermen Club (AFLC), an organization of former Auburn football players who provide scholarships to the children of former Auburn players children and support former players in times of hardship.
"Mr. Turnbeaugh seems like a very nice gentlemen," Bryan said. "I am happy to support him in his efforts to be inducted to the Alabama Sports Hall Of Fame and hope he is successful in doing so."
Turnbeaugh's submission to the Hall Of Fame will be June 1, 2007.
Turnbeaugh's football career began at Rattler Stadium, where he played tackle for the Rattlers from 1945 to 1948. He was selected to play on the All-State Team in 1948 and was chosen as the New Mexico Linemen in 1948. Turnbeaugh also was co-captain and played in the North vs. South All-star game of 1949.
Following graduation, he attended Eastern New Mexico University. He then transferred to Cameron State Junior College in Lawton, Okla., in 1950 where he played his freshman year where he was later recruited by Auburn.
He played for the Auburn Tigers from 1951-1952. In 1953 Turnbeaugh was drafted by the Green Bay Packers but was unable to attend training camp because he was drafted by the U.S. Army to serve in Korea.
When Turnbeaugh arrived in the east, his orders to Korea had been rescinded. He was re-assigned to Tokyo, Japan were he was the head coach for the Army's regimental football team, the Bulldogs. He coached and played for the Bulldogs from 1953 to1955, when he was discharged from the Army.
Turnbeaugh returned to the states, attended the Packers training camp in July of 1955 but he opted not to play pro ball.
"When you sign to play professional you sign for ten years. In those ten years, there is a lot of physical abuse on your body. I decided I did not want to go through that abuse," Turnbeaugh said.
Instead he returned to Auburn and completed his college education.
After college, Turnbeaugh joined the faculty at Palo Duro High School in Amarillo where he taught history and was assistant coach for the football and basketball teams. In 1961, he returned to Tucumcari and worked for the Broce Construction companies as an officer manager and a year later worked in Broce's Oklahoma office until 1968. He came back to New Mexico in 1968 and worked for Wood Construction Co. based in Albuquerque. There, he met his wife Ruby Lee.
He later took a position at the White Sands Missile Range until 1972 when he moved to Nevada in 1975 and was employed with the Nevada State Welfare Division. He retired as district manager in December of 1989.
Since his retirement in 1989, Turnbeaugh has lived in western Nevada. But he remains in contact with former Rattler, Tiger and Bulldog teammates. He made a hit at a recent Rattler reunion when he introduced his book, "Tucumcari High School Rattler Football Greats through the Decades, 1920s-1990s." And he looks forward to the annual Rattler Reunion in August each year.
"My health kept me from attending the last reunion. But I fully intend on attending the reunion next year to meet with old friends," he said.
Turnbeaugh completed this week, his biographical and statistical booklet for consideration by the hall of fame consideration.
But he's already got another football project in the works. Turnbeaugh said he plans to compile booklets on each of the decades of Rattler football history that he worked on for his book.
"There is so much information from over the years that I was not able to put into the first book due to lack of space. I want to make that information available for prosperity so future generations will be able to look back and see our Rattlers History," Turnbeaugh said.

The competition is what drives your program There's four or five players coming in that are going to push our upperclassmen."
Defensive end's Charles Tapper and Geneo Grissom are two other OU defenders poised to have a big season.

Keeping your boards flush on the tabletop and firmly
against the fence is the second essential element in preventing
kickback. Featherboards help resist drift and can be adapted
for use as a hold-down if your rip fence has adequate height.
Commercially available hold-down rollers provide springloaded,
downward pressure and can be purchased with
unidirectional wheels. In a production environment, you may
want to consider a power feeder. They are bulky, but your
hands stay far clear of the cutting zone.
4. Dangerous blade height. I've heard differing opinions
about optimal blade height, but some recommendations
seem dangerous.
Remedy: From the standpoint
of safety, I think that lower is
better. It is much harder to
lose a finger if the amount
of exposed blade is less
your finger's diameter.
A lower
blade might
necessitate more
pressure to feed the
but from the stand-
point of
kickback reduction,
it limits
the amount of
upward lift on
the back side
of the blade.
