If the Values Voter Summit [1] last weekend in Washington, D.C. confirmed the tight mutual embrace between the Religious Right and the national Republican Party, the How to Take Back America [2] conference taking place in St. Louis, MO this coming weekend demonstrates national GOP figures' willingness to embrace even the most extreme elements of the right-wing political movement. Mike Huckabee, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), Rep. Steve King (R-IA), Rep. Tom Price (R-GA), Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA), and Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) have agreed to speak at the event, which is hosted by activists who are actively promoting the most extreme, inflammatory , and false charges and conspiracy theories now making the rounds on the far right fringes, including claims that President Obama is not an American citizen, that his administration is preparing internment camps for conservatives, that the swine flu vaccine is a pretext for genocide, and even that the "cash-for-clunkers" program was just an excuse for "big brother" to get access to people's email and other personal information for internal spying purposes.
Mike Huckabee was among the earliest confirmed speakers and is sure to be one of the main draws of the event. Although Huckabee was sometimes portrayed in the media as a "new" kind of Religious Right leader, he continues to cultivate close ties to the far fringes of the Religious Right. Indeed, there's a huge overlap between the organizers of the How To Take Back America Conference and the Faith and Values Committee of his own presidential campaign.
How to Take Back America is co-chaired by Phyllis Schlafly, the godmother of right-wing organizing, and Janet Folger Porter, a radio host who has long resided among the most unhinged of right-wing activists, spreading the wildest conspiracy theories imaginable. Other members of the host committee include Joseph Farah of WorldNetDaily, Don Wildmon of the American Family Association, Rick Scarborough of Vision America, Mat Staver of Liberty Council, Rick Green of Wallbuilders, Philip Jauregui of Judicial Action Group, Michael Farris of the Home School Legal Defense Association, and Dick Bott of Bott Radio Network. A number of these same people have been part of other conferences taking place at state levels, such as the Virginia "Winning Matters [3]" events, Hope for America [4] rallies, and the July Reclaiming Oklahoma for Christ [5] event.
Among the workshops [6] available to participants will be: "How to counter the homosexual movement," "How to stop the killings: pro-life solutions," "How to defend America vs. missile attack, "How to defeat UN attacks on sovereignty" and even one entitled "How to recognize living under Nazis & Communists."
Echoing that last theme, conference organizers recently announced that among the speakers will be Kitty Werthmann, the head of the South Dakota chapter of the Eagle Forum, who produced a DVD called "Freedom to Dictatorship in 5 Years." Werthmann was 12 years old when Hitler came to power and conference co-chair Janet Porter makes the connection between Hitler and Obama abundantly clear [7]:
She is 83 with a "vivid memory" of what happened in her homeland next. She witnessed the government take over the banks and the auto industry. Sound familiar? In the last nine months, Obama and the Democrats in Congress have successfully orchestrated the government takeover of Chrysler and General Motors along with countless banks.
She witnessed the "compulsory youth" service and indoctrination. That sounds a little like Obama's call for "mandatory volunteerism" for America's youth….
They had Joseph Goebbels; we have Mark Lloyd, the diversity czar, who is already poised to shut down private radio stations like his hero Hugo Chavez did threatening licenses and waging outrageous fines on stations (up to $25 million dollars) who say things he doesn't like….
"Each person was allotted ration cards like a pound of sugar per month." Werthmann said. "If your grandma died, and you used her ration card to buy sugar, the grocery store would report you. Then, the Gestapo showed up, but rather than arrest you, they recruited you as informant of your neighbors, boss, friends and family. You couldn't trust anybody, not even the mailman," Werthmann added. Weekly reports were required or arrests were made.
Sounds a little like Obama's recruitment of government informants, i.e. the "snitch program," to turn in offenders for "fishy" speech. No arrests just yet, but the Department of Homeland Security has already tagged pro-family Americans as "the most dangerous domestic terrorism threat in the United States."…
Werthmann said it took five years for Hitler to rise to a dictatorship, and is amazed at how fast history is repeating itself here. "It has to be done fast," she added, "so people won't catch on."
RightWingWatch.org has monitored the development of the How to Take Back America Conference and has been chronicling the activities of its right-wing organizers for years. What follows is only a sampling of the extremism that Right Wing Watch has documented. This information, and far more, is readily available to everyone, including Mike Huckabee and the Members of Congress who are inexcusably lending credibility to this event and to its organizers.
Phyllis Schlafly
The fact that Phyllis Schlafly [8] was just honored with the James C. Dobson Vision & Leadership Award at the Values Voter Summit for her lifetime of activism tells you a lot about the right-wing movement in America. Schlafly pioneered the technique which is now at the heart of right-wing propaganda campaigns: as Sarah Palin might put it, Schlafly "makes stuff up" that she thinks might scare or anger people into action against the threat of the day. In fact, USA Today's Cathy Grossman recently wrote [9] that Schlafly has essentially built her entire career on scaring people into action by making up threats that are barely grounded in reality. Grossman saw this technique in action in a profile of Schlafly she wrote more than 20 years ago, and marvels how widespread it has become: "What interests me here," wrote Grossman, "is the tactical gimmick of arguing by extremes. Palin reflects the teachings of the master - Phyllis Schlafly, founder of the Eagle Forum and a conservative-right tactician extraordinaire."
Schlafly [10] first made a name for herself in right-wing circles with her pro-Barry Goldwater book"A Choice Not An Echo [11]" in 1964 and then led the campaign to kill the Equal Rights Amendment [12]. In 1974, she established the Eagle Forum [13].
Schlafly believes [14] that married women can't be raped by their husbands because getting married means assenting to sex whenever your husband wants it, so it only makes sense that she's long worked to overturn the Violence Against Women Act. (During the Reagan administration, PFAW urged an investigation when the Eagle Forum was awarded a $600,000 grant by the Justice Department to counteract "the feminist agenda" on domestic violence.)
Schlafly has long been an ardent promoter of conspiracy theories about American sovereignty, pushing [15] fears that the Bush administration was secretly negotiating to have America essentially merge with Mexico and Canada in a North American union. She likewise led opposition to U.S. ratification of the Genocide Convention and similarly opposes any and all other international treaties as dire threats to US sovereignty. She has also written that Mexican immigrants are "invading [16]" the U.S. and spreading disease [17].
When she received an honorary degree from Washington University of St. Louis last year, some students protested, leading Right Wing Watch to note [18]:
Apparently the students don't think that Washington University should be honoring an immigrant-hating, UN-detesting, evolution-fighting [15], court-stripping [19], conspiracy-theorist [20] anti-feminist hypocrite [21] who blames [22] the Virginia Tech massacre on the English Department go figure.
Schlafly was never a fan of Huckabee; she didn't trust his economic policies and threatened [23] a walkout at the GOP convention if McCain chose Lieberman as a running mate; but she was a huge supporter of Sarah Palin, who, she gushed [24], is "right on every issue." Shortly before the 2008 election, she suggested [25] that Barack Obama might appoint William Ayers as his Secretary of Education.
Women on the Web published [26] a useful overview of Schafly's career earlier this year. But any kind of comprehensive review of Schlafly's decades of promoting right-wing fever-dreams would take volumes.
Janet Porter (nee Janet Folger)
It is probably impossible to overstate the extremism and lunacy of Janet Porter [27], whose radio program and Faith2Action.org website gives her a platform for promoting the most unhinged of conspiracy theories.
Porter is Mike Huckabee's biggest fan. She first fell in love when she organized the 2007 Values Voter Debate to which she had personally invited a gospel choir to sing "Why Should God Bless America [28]?" and after which Porter (then Folger) declared that Huckabee had been revealed as the answer to Christians' prayers [29] for a presidential candidate who shared their views, proclaiming him to be the "David among Jesse's sons." During the presidential primaries, she started a front group [30] to attack Huckabee's arch nemesis Mitt Romney and wrote columns claiming that only Huckabee could prevent Hillary Clinton from throwing all Christians into prison [31] and save her fantasy world [32] from this "evil queen and her dragon of slaughter."
She has since claimed that God has cursed America for voting for Obama, that anyone who voted for him is bound for hell [33] , and that anyone who has ever voted for a pro-choice candidate is also living under a curse [34]. She has actively pushed the Birther conspiracies [35] and even alleged that Obama's presidency was the culmination [36] of a decade-long Communist conspiracy twenty years in the making. After the election, but before the inauguration, she called on God to prevent Obama from taking office, [37] while warning that "AN EARTH-SHATTERING CALAMITY IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN [38]" to this nation because we deserve God's judgment.
Among other fears she has recently been stoking: the Obama administration is creating internment camps [39] for conservatives and building mass evacuation buses [40] to take them there, while warning that the H1N1 flu vaccine is really a nefarious plot by the government to kill millions of Americans [41]. She helped to create and inflate the Right's false claims [42] that a Department of Homeland Security report was equating conservatives and veterans with terrorists; as noted above, she's now pushing comparisons between the Obama administration and the rise of Nazism.
Porter has written a book called "The Criminalization of Christianity" and claims that hate crimes legislation will lead to Christians being thrown in jail. More recently she's joined the chorus of extremists falsely claiming [43] that the bill would "give heightened protection to pedophiles." As part of her campaign against hate crimes legislation, Porter has repeatedly invited on to her radio show Ted Pike, a rabid anti-Semite [44] who claims hate crimes laws are part of a Jewish plot for world domination [45].
You can read much more about Janet Porter here [46].
Joseph Farah
Joseph Farah [47], the founder, editor, and CEO of WorldNetDaily, is a leader of the "Birther movement [48]," which has been written off as "nuts" by even right-wing stalwarts like Ann Coulter, and his WND has been responsible for either creating or spreading just about every unhinged right-wing conspiracy in circulation today, including the idea that "soy makes you gay [49]." He's become such an embarrassment to the movement that there is a movement afoot among conservatives [50] to boycott those who associate with WND and even the Conservative Political Action Conference, which has welcomed Farah in the past [51], declined WND's request to hold a panel at the 2010 event. But Farah is not too extreme, apparently, for Mike Huckabee or the various Members of Congress headed to How to Take Back America.
In June, he accused Obama of speaking in code about the Holocaust, suggesting [52] that Obama was supporting Iran's plans to "finish" the Holocaust. Farah has turned his "news agency" into a full-time promoter of the idea that President Obama is not an American. (Though he has contradicted himself by suggesting [53] that Obama's grandmother was really his mother.)
Upon Obama's inauguration, Farah called [54] for a prayer campaign against the administration:
Many a coward has been bolstered in his conviction against challenging tyranny by not reading too deeply into the Scriptures. Yet, nowhere does the Bible ever suggest evil rulers are to be obeyed. When the rule of men conflicts with the commands of God, the Bible leaves no doubt about where we should stand.
That's why I do not hesitate today in calling on godly Americans to pray that Barack Hussein Obama fail in his efforts to change our country from one anchored on self-governance and constitutional republicanism to one based on the raw and unlimited power of the central state.
It would be folly to pray for his success in such an evil campaign.
I want Obama to fail because his agenda is 100 percent at odds with God's. Pretending it is not simply makes a mockery of God's straightforward Commandments.
And here's how the ever-classy Farah responded [55] to Ted Kennedy's death:
I know there's an old adage that one shouldn't speak ill of the dead.
But I don't subscribe to the idea that when evil and foolish people die we should pretend they were something other than evil and foolish.
And Ted Kennedy was evil and foolish.
He wasn't just a politician with whom I disagreed.
He was a rotten man a wicked man.
Mat Staver
Mat Staver [56] directs the Liberty Counsel and is Dean of the Law School at Liberty University, the college founded by the late Jerry Falwell. Like Janet Porter, the prospect and reality of Obama's election seems to have pushed him into ever-deeper waters of extremism.
He was part of that "Why Should God bless America" debate in Florida in 2007 and has since been part of promoting the same kinds of extremist conspiracy theories pushed by Janet Porter and others. For instance, not too long ago he was blaming our current financial crisis [57] on the "radical redefinition of marriage" and saying that America will be cursed [58] if it elected Barack Obama. After Obama won, Staver told Newsweek [59] that people who believe Barack Obama might be the Antichrist are not necessarily crazy, but are rather merely "expressing a concern and a fear that is widely shared."Also after the election he warned that Obama [60] (and his gay allies) are the "biggest threat to religious liberty we've ever had." Staver called Obama's recent speech to schoolchildren "illegal" and warned [61] parents that "Obama is after our children."
Staver is currently representing a couple in Florida who harbored a runaway girl; Rifqua Bary is a teenage convert to Christianity who has become a cause célèbre [62] among Religious Right fringe figures who allege that she will be killed by her Muslim parents if she is returned to them, even though every bit of evidence and every investigation by child protection services has indicated that there is absolutely no validity to any of these right-wing claims.
Liberty Counsel likewise got involved in the DHS "controversy" and responded to the report on the threat of home-grown terrorism by offering its supporters "proud to be a right-wing extremist" cards [63] .
Staver is also fanatically anti-gay. Earlier this year Staver blasted the state of Vermont for granting marriage equality, saying [64] "if [elected officials] can't understand this basic human relationship between a man and a woman, then they absolutely are not competent for public office" and warning that "what we are seeing in America is literally the beginnings of another revolution" from the "silent majority" who will draw a line in the sand, leading to "another American Revolution." He has declared that gay marriage would lead to an entire generation of violent criminals [65].
Staver was among a group [66] of Religious Right leaders who falsely claimed that hate crimes legislation would criminalize the gospel, "punish principled dissent" and "[b]e a savage and perhaps fatal blow to First Amendment freedom of expression." He has alsoclaimed that>"Sexual orientation and gender identity include pedophilia and every imaginable deviant fetish. Cross-dressers and pedophiles find refuge in this so-called hate crimes bill, while veterans and grandmas are left to fend for themselves. Obviously, this bill is not about the prevention of crime but is all about pushing a radical sexual anarchy. This bill will crush free speech and trample free exercise of religion."
Staver has also been deeply involved in the Religious Right's efforts to scuttle any healthcare reform, both through the Freedom Federation [67] and through his own group, Liberty Counsel, which has distributed a long report filled with false claims about the House bill that have been thoroughly debunked by Factcheck.org [68]. Staver has also promoted bogus right-wing attacks [67] on Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, the president's health care advisor.
Staver served on Huckabee's Faith and Family Values Coalition [69] during his presidential campaign and will soon be travelling with Huckabee to Israel. [70] Staver was one of many who asked McCain to choose Huckabee [71] as his VP, though he was ultimately giddy with McCain's "absolutely brilliant choice [72]" of Sarah Palin.
Rick Scarborough
Rick Scarborough [73], a self-described "Christocrat [74]" heads Vision America and, when he's not out palling around [75] with Alan Keyes, has a penchant for suggesting that evangelical leaders are dying off [76] because the nation has turned its back on God, suggesting that Christians will have "the blood of martyrs on [their] hands [77]" if they don't oppose hate crimes legislation, blaming "the church" for just standing by [78] and allowing the election of "unrighteous leaders" in 2006, saying that opponents of the War in Iraq are committing treason [79], organizing conferences designed to highlight the "War on Christians and Values Voters [80]," and penning books entitled "Liberalism Kills Kids [81]," among other things.
Scarborough [73] was a pioneer in organizing "Patriot Pastors" to get out the vote on behalf of Republicans. A few years back, the Texas-based former Southern Baptist pastor, a long-time ally of Tom DeLay [82], formed the Judeo-Christian Council for Constitutional Restoration [83] with stalwarts such as Jerry Falwell and Phyllis Schlafly to oppose "activist judges." Through the group, Scarborough organized the "Judicial War on Faith" conference following the death of Terri Schiavo in 2005, and a "War on Christians and Values Voters" conference in 2006.
Rick Scarborough [73] also backed Mike Huckabee's presidential bid and served on Huckabee's Faith and Family Values Coalition. He had hoped to prevent the disaster of a Democratic president when he launched his "70 Weeks to Save America [84]" tour, with a goal of signing up "100,000 Values Voters, 10,000 key leaders, 5,000 Patriot Pastors and 5,000 women" to "vote their Christian values on Election Day 2008." The tour fizzled after his initial partner, Alan Keyes, decided to run for president himself.
Scarborough recently bragged that he uses clips from Glenn Beck [85] in his church sermons about the threat from President Obama's "czars" and the threat of the Fairness Doctrine. Scarborough has declared that Religious Right leaders must take advantage [86] of the outpouring of conservative outrage and hostility that gave rise to the Tea Parties and "get out in front of the movement and begin to define it."
Scarborough also promoted the charge that hate crimes legislation [87] will make it "illegal to preach that homosexuality is a sin" and grandly promises to "break that law" and become a martyr if necessary. Scarborough complained that the selection of openly gay Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson to give a prayer during Obama inaugural festivities was a "slap in the face [88] to Christians. Objecting to President Obama's recognition of LGBT Pride Month in June, Scarborough ranted [89] that "those who engage in unnatural acts should hang their heads in shame."
Earlier this year, Scarborough declared that "the persecution of Christianity in America has begun. Among other alarms he is sounding [90]:
I believe that America is facing the gravest challenge since the Second World War, and one that will forever change the course of this great nation if Christians do not experience a renewed commitment to freedom and understanding of the role of God in government….
And now we are hearing of plans to take the financial crisis this country is facing and using it as the gateway to nationalizing enormous chunks of the American economy, moving us down the road to European style socialism. One of the foundational principles of the Declaration of Independence was the inalienable right to pursue happiness. With nationalized healthcare, no health care professional will ever be included in that right again, and you will see an erosion of the greatest healthcare system the world has ever known.
James Dobson recently had Scarborough on his radio show [91], a major step up from the Religious Right minor leagues where Scarborough has been toiling.
Don Wildmon
Don Wildmon [92] is the Founder and Chairman of the American Family Association [93], which exists primarily to decry whatever it deems "immoral" in American culture and lead boycotts against companies that in any way support causes, organizations, or programs it deems offensive, particularly anything that does not portray gays and lesbians in a negative light.
Over the years, AFA has targeted [94] everything from the National Endowment for the Arts, Howard Stern, and the television show "Ellen" to major corporations such as Ford [95] , Burger King, and Clorox. AFA has also been particularly focused on Disney, declaring that the company's "attack on America's families has become so blatant, so intentional, so obvious" as to warrant a multi-year boycott. The AFA recently slammed [96] celebrity Miley Cyrus for "tweeting" that Jesus loves everybody, including gays, and that God's greatest commandment is to love. "And judging is not loving." AFA warned parents that Cyrus was a poor role model. Recently, AFA has been busy warning that proposed hate-crimes legislation is designed [97] to lay the "groundwork for persecution of Christians," attacked [98] presidential candidate Mitt Romney over his time on the board of Marriott Corporation because the company offers adult movies in its hotels, and warned [99] that the US Senate was "angering a just God" and bringing "judgment upon our country" by allowing a Hindu chaplain to deliver an opening prayer.
You can find much more on Wildmon and the American Family Association here [100].
We could go on about the various other right-wing activists involved in this conference, like Michael Farris, founder of the Home School Legal Defense Association and Patrick Henry College [101], or Rick Green and his work along side right-wing pseudo-historian David Barton [102] at Wallbuilders, but doing so would merely be redundant, as the utter radicalism of the organizers of this conference has already been established.
It must be noted that these are not your"run of the mill" Religious Right activists of the sort with whom Republicans leaders regularly consort, but rather represent the outer fringe of the movement, so much so that many in the Religious Right establishment generally go to great lengths to avoid being seen with them.
When this same group of fringe activists hosted their Values Voter Debate back in 2007, John McCain, Rudy Giuliani, Fred Thompson, and Mitt Romney, all of whom went on to address [103] the more "mainstream" Values Voter Summit one month later, openly snubbed the event, seemingly fully aware of the radicalism of its organizers. But Mike Huckabee not only attended, he declared to the audience that while "many [other candidates] come to you. I come from you. [29]" After that, many of the events organizers went on to serve on his presidential campaign's Faith and Family Values Coalition.
And now that they are hosting their own How To Take Back America Conference, Huckabee is returning to join hands with them once again, and this time he is being joined by five Republican members of Congress, raising the question of just how radical a right-wing activist has to become before they are shunned by "respectable" Republican leaders.

Topic: Refactoring a method used in more than one model.
Hi, I'm a Rails beginner, and I wrote code that looks like this:
# Return nicely formatted location string.
def location
if (city == "") and ((state != "") or (zip_code != ""))
"#{state} #{zip_code}"
elsif (city != "") and ((state != "") or (zip_code != ""))
"#{city}, #{state} #{zip_code}"
elsif (city != "") and ((state == "") and (zip_code == ""))
"Not Provided"
I'm trying to return a sensible string based on which location fields are filled in. I use this method in one model, and a variation in a different model. Is there a place where I can stick a refactored version for both models to share? Also, is writing the logic explicitly the only option in a case like this?
Thank you for your help!

A client asked me to explain "Nearline storage" to them. This was easy, I thought, as I started my IBM career on DFHSM, now known as DFSMShsm for z/OS, which was created in 1977 to support the IBM 3850 Mass Storage System (MSS), a virtual storage system that blended disk drives and tape cartridges with robotic automation. Here is a quick recap:
- Online storage is immediately available for I/O. This includes DRAM memory, solid-state drives (SSD), and always-on spinning disk, regardless of rotational speed.
- Nearline storage is not immediately available, but can be made online quickly without human intervention. This includes optical jukeboxes, automated tape libraries, as well as spin-down massive array of idle disk (MAID) technologies.
- Offline storage is not immediately available, and requires some human intervention to bring online. This can include USB memory sticks, CD/DVD optical media, shelf-resident tape cartridges, or other removable media.
These terms and their definitions have been used for decades, and are consistent with or at least similar to definitions I found on [Wikipedia], [Webopedia], [WiseGEEK], and [SearchStorage].
Sadly, it appears a few storage manufacturers and vendors have been misusing the term "Nearline" to refer to "slower online" spinning disk drives. I find this [June 2005 technology paper from Seagate], and this [2002 NetApp Press Release], the latter of which included this contradiction for their "NearStore" disk array. Here is the excerpt:
- "Providing online access to reference information—NetApp nearline storage solutions quickly retrieve and replicate reference and archive information maintained on cost-effective storage—medical images, financial models, energy exploration charts and graphs, and other data-intensive records can be stored economically and accessed in multiple locations more quickly than ever"
Which is it, "online access" or "nearline storage"?
If a client asked why slower drives consume less energy or generate less heat, I could explain that, but if they ask why slower drives must have SATA connections, that is a different discussion. The speed of a drive and its connection technology are for the most part independent. A 10K RPM drive can be made with FC, SAS or SATA connection.
I am opposed to using "Nearlne" just to distinguish between four-digit speeds (such as 5400 or 7200 RPM) versus "online" for five-digit speeds (10,000 and 15,000 RPM). The difference in performance between 10K RPM and 7200 RPM spinning disks is miniscule compared to the differences between solid-state drives and any spinning disk, or the difference between spinning disk and tape.
I am also opposed to using the term "Nearline" for online storage systems just because they are targeted for the typical use cases like backup, archive or other reference information that were previously directed to nearline devices like automated tape libraries.
Can we all just agree to refer to drives as "fast" or "slow", or give them RPM rotational speed designations, rather than try to incorrectly imply that FC and SAS drives are always fast, and SATA drives are always slow? Certainly we don't need new terms like "NL-SAS" just to represent a slower SAS connected drive.

If you gave a few more details, we might be able to tell you if it's been done before. I'm sure you'll also get lots of thoughts and suggestions.
A couple quick thoughts: I think you need a double floor - two ceramic layers with an air gap. I think you will brun the bottom of the pie to a crisp if a ceramic deck is directly over the fire/coals assuming the fire is hot enough that the device gets you to a meaningfully fast bake time.I'm worried that an uninsulated ceramic dome will not maintain enough top heat. You will need a meaningful differential between the deck and the dome with the dome being the hotter.
EricMember GSpots (George) has experience with ceramic manufacture. I have two of his baking stones. Although he is a busy guy, he might be able to help you out once you have the oven configuration worked out. As noted by Craig your challenge is to control top and bottom heat for an even bake.Bob

Hounds blank Angelo
October 11, 2003

BLACKWATER DRAW — With tough road games looming against Lone Star Conference South Division powers Midwestern State and Texas A&M-Kingsville, the Eastern New Mexico University football team figured it needed to regain some momentum.
Rebounding from their first loss of the season last week at Abilene Christian, the Greyhounds pounded outmanned Angelo State 31-0 on Saturday in front of a Homecoming crowd of 2,500 at Greyhound Stadium. It was the Hounds' first shutout since October 1999.
ENMU (5-1, 1-1 LSC), ranked No. 23 in nation in NCAA Division II, took the game by the throat early and dominated the Rams (2-4, 0-1) on both sides of the ball in becoming the first home team to win in the series since 1996.
"We came out and played a good game," said sophomore wide receiver Derrick Hunter, one of four ENMU players to catch two passes in the game. "We needed to bounce back from last week."
While ENMU had three touchdown drives of 80 or more yards, Hunter said the team rode a solid performance by its defense, which limited ASU to five first downs and 104 total yards, including one yard rushing.
"We feed off the defense," Hunter said. "For them to pitch a shutout is great. It made our job a lot easier."
Junior middle linebacker Jeff Howard, who led ENMU in tackles with 11 and had one of the team's five quarterback sacks, said the play of tackles Tremaine Johnson and Brandon Wickware was key for his platoon.
"It helps to have tackles like that because they end up double-teaming those guys and that allows (the ends and linebackers) to make tackles," the Portales High grad said. "We just kept playing aggressively, because those guys had come from behind the last two games to win."
Junior quarterback Steven Hinson rushed for 135 yards and completing 8 of 14 passes for 142 yards, including two touchdown tosses to sophomore tight end Art Tennison.
The Hounds punted on their first series, but then put together touchdown drives of 80 and 84 yards.
"I was really pleased," ENMU coach Bud Elliott said. "I felt like we really played well on both offense and defense.
"We mixed it up a little (on offense). We were able to throw successfully on them a couple of times, but we really hurt them with the option."
ENMU's first possession of the second half sealed the win, a 50-yard drive in which the 5-foot-8 Hinson zipped through the right side, broke a couple of tackles and scored on a 25-yard run for a 21-0 lead.
"The first series of the third quarter dictated the rest of the game," Howard said. "When we scored there, they pretty much quit."
ASU, which had 18 consecutive winning seasons under coach Jerry Vandergriff before going 2-8 last fall, picked up three first downs on its first possession in moving into field goal range. But kicker Ryan Hunt missed right from 25 yards.
Angelo made one first down on its next series, but quarterback Kyle Hardin went down with a shoulder injury on a hard hit by ENMU linebacker Courage Idamudia and never returned. The Rams didn't pick up another first down until early in the final period.
"It was a bad day at Black Rock," Vandergriff quipped. "We just didn't play very well, and they did."
The Rams had some success early with a bit of an unusual formation, putting two receivers far to the left, but Vandergriff said it came down to players. He added that Hardin's injury also hurt.
"He makes a difference," Vandergriff said. "We're riddled (with injuries) up front, but he gives you a better opportunity because of his mobility.
"You can't trick people all the time. You've got to have players to line up with people, and right now we don't."

Cincinnati, OH | Distinguished Ag Alumni: 2010
So you think there's a huge market just waiting for a blue hot dog? Mona Baker Wolf can tell you exactly how consumers will respond—not just to your idea but also to your hot dog's shade of blue, taste, smell, and texture. Sensory science, a subset of food science, is the process of eliciting and measuring a human response as it relates to the five senses. For 21 years, the Cincinnati-based Wolf Group has provided sensory evaluation for concept testing, consumer preference, product improvement, and quality control. Wolf, a native of Bedford, Indiana, turned setback to opportunity in 1988 following a layoff. With three children under age three foremost in her planning, she launched The Wolf Group from her basement. Today her company's 17,000-squarefoot facility includes rooms for both American- and European-style focus groups, 35 sensory evaluation stations, six identical full bathrooms, three commercial and consumer kitchens, and an exercise room. Her clients range from mom-and-pop operations to Fortune 50 firms. Wolf and her 85 employees—including food scientists, marketing researchers, taste testers, and sensory experts—have studied everything from chili to cellulite cream and razors to fabric softener. Highly trained descriptive panelists quantify minute attributes that allow the company to develop a statistical model of an ideal product. Sensory science can reduce product development time, save costs, and predict new product success. Understanding business models has been critical to the company's growth, Wolf says: "What we offer must be value-added to a company." The Wolf Group also works with clients to ensure the accuracy of advertising claims. Wolf has served as an expert witness for legal issues related to sensory claims, usually to evaluate the protocols that were done to substantiate them. Frequent business travel gives Wolf time to read, and she also loves playing the piano. She is active in church activities and supports the Eve Center, a faith-based peer counseling organization. Wolf and her husband Tim have four children ages 25, 23 (twins), and 19. "I think of Purdue as my watershed, where I found out who I was as an individual. I met some great people and had some tremendous professors. Purdue allowed me to invent myself—to create a self-sufficient person with marketable skills."

Matt Thurber Wins NBAA Gold Wing Award
Regular BJT contributor Matt Thurber is the winner of this year's Gold Wing Award for reporting excellence from the National Business Aviation Association. The award recognizes Thurber's "Saving Lives, One Flight at a Time," which appeared in BJT's August/September 2011 issue. The story focused on the key role that chartered aircraft and their operators play in the delivery of human organs that are desperately needed for transplants. This is the 19th major journalism award won by BJT, its staff and its contributors since 2005. Moreover, Business Jet Traveler has now won the NBAA's Gold Wing Award three out of the last four years. BJT's sister publication AIN won the fourth, so our company is four for four in a competition that is open to all trade and consumer publications, online media and radio and TV outlets in the U.S. Past winners have included the New York Times, CNBC and the Wall Street Journal. Thurber is a senior editor at our sister publication Aviation International News. He also edits our domestic aviation convention publications. In addition to all this work, he somehow finds time to write extensively for BJT. In 2012 alone, he has produced excellent interviews with Zappos' Tony Hsieh, tennis star Novak Djokovic, Industry Insiders Chris Holifield and Dan Schwinn, the Discovery Channel's John Hendricks and moonwalker Buzz Aldrin.

Despite being a young presence in the arts community, Arts Garage, which opened in Pineapple Grove in 2011, offers a variety of art-related activities and events. With The Jazz Project, which is quickly transforming Delray into an international jazz destination; a performing arts academy that offers a classes; and The Theatre at Arts Garage, which is dedicated to bringing the best new American work to stage; Arts Garage has quietly made Delray Beach and Pineapple Grove the center of Palm Beach County's creative output.
Touted as "a multi-disciplinary cultural hub for musicians, performers, film presenters, visual artists, and arts educators," The Theatre at Arts Garage will carry a torch of music, performance and theater with opening production of its 2013-14 season, The Longing & The Short of It.
Running from November 1-24, The Longing & The Short of It is a compendium of songs performed by six characters, all longing for love and acceptance. Created by composer/lyricist Daniel Maté, the song cycle has earned him the 2010 ASCAP Foundation's Cole Porter Award for Excellence in Music and Lyrics as well as the 2013 Kleban Prize for Most Promising Musical Theatre Lyricist. These songs follow characters who are either "acting out lustily at a party, running into an ex in a public place and saying all the wrong things, pleading insanity to keep a relationship from ending, or simply enjoying a nice, quiet self-pity party at home." They'll be brought to life by local cast of six: Liz Lark Brown, Beth Dimon, Henry Gainza, John Herrera, Noah Zachary and Alix Page. The music driving the songs, also performed live, will be led by Arts Garage Musical Director Paul Reekie on piano, Julie Jacobs on drums, Dave Wilkinson on bass and Bob Bunin on guitar.
Following Longing is the drama The Hummingbird Wars, written by Carter W. Lewis, from January 10 to February 2; the romantic comedy Fighting Over Beverley ,by playwright Israel Horovitz, from February 28 to March 23; and finally another musical by Maté, in collaboration with Will Aronson, The Trouble with Doug, running April 18 to May 11.

Water testing offered
January 31, 2011
A water fair is scheduled for Saturday in Clovis, offering free water testing for Curry and Roosevelt County residents using private wells.
Hosted by the New Mexico Environment Department, the event will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Roy Walker Recreation Center.
Residents wishing to have their water tested free of charge, should bring at least one quart of water in a sealed, clean plastic or glass container.
Water should be allowed to run from the faucet for a couple of minutes prior to being collected and should be drawn from an area in the water line where it has not passed through a treatment system, according to a press release.
Testing will screen samples for electrical conductivity, iron, fluoride, nitrate, pH and sulfate, the release said.

Mr. Speaker, earlier this week I had the pleasure of joining my colleague, the Minister of Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, and 27 businesses from across Atlantic Canada on the Team Canada Atlantic trade mission to Washington, D.C.
Trade missions such as these help Atlantic companies increase their contacts, and lead to new relationships and new sales. The mission also provided the opportunity for us to highlight to the greater Washington business community that Atlantic Canada is a great place to do business.
This is the ninth such trade mission for Team Canada Atlantic. These missions have enabled more than 300 Atlantic Canadian firms to meet with over 2,300 buyers, agents and business owners from across the U.S., generating over $100 million in short and long term sales.
I want to congratulate all those who participated in this recent mission. The reports I received on the ground were that this trade mission will bring further good news for companies from around the region.

Mr. Speaker, the federal Liberal government has been so busy attempting to undermine the Conservative Party of Canada by demonizing our position on health care that it forgot to come up with a policy of its own.
It is now blatantly clear to all Canadians that Liberal health care policies ultimately depend upon whom we ask and when. Ask the health minister one day and he tells us that he supports a greater role for the private sector in public health care. The next day, he is not so sure and neither is the Prime Minister.
In the budget, the government said there would be no more money for health care; now the Liberals say there will be. First they were committed to last year's health accord with the provinces; now they are not so sure. Is it any wonder that rural northern communities in Canada continue to endure what has become a day to day struggle to access essential health care services?
In my constituency of Prince George--Peace River, many residents cannot even get in to see a doctor. The waiting lists continue to grow and access to specialized care is difficult, bordering on the impossible.
Canadians will remember who is to blame for our failing health care system. It will be the Prime Minister himself.

The Premio is awarded to individuals of Italian origin or descent who distinguish themselves in business, humanitarian work and creativity, and have had great success in their respected fields.
I would like to extend my congratulations to the recipients of the Premio awards: Mr. Salvatore Parasuco, president of Parasuco Jeans Inc., winner of the Premio business award; Gemi Giaccari, assistant general manager of La Caisse Populaire Canadienne Italienne, winner of the Premio humanitarian award; and Nicola Ciccone, author, composer and singer, winner of the creativity award.

Mr. Speaker, yesterday the Senate passed Bill C-250 by a vote of 59 to 11. This private member's bill was first introduced by the member for Burnaby—Douglas almost 15 years ago to include sexual orientation in the Criminal Code hate propaganda section along with race, colour, religion and ethnic origin.
Too often gay and lesbian people are targeted for violence, hatred and even death as in the tragic case of Aaron Webster. This bill, supported by the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police and attorneys general in Canada, is long overdue.
NDP leader Jack Layton and New Democrats join in paying tribute to those who made passage of the bill possible, including the member for Burnaby--Douglas and his staff, Corie Langdon and Dan Fredrick; Inspector Dave Jones; the bill's sponsor in the Senate, Senator Serge Joyal; and members of the House and the Senate who voted for it.
Together we are sending a powerful message that there is no place in our Canada for hatred and violence targeting gay and lesbian people.

Mr. Speaker, the leader of the Quebec Liberal caucus is expressing concerns about the lack of arguments to use against the Bloc Quebecois in the upcoming election campaign.
What is more, at last Tuesday evening's Liberal Party meeting, the documents submitted for discussion purposes were available in English only. So much for any pretensions of Canadian bilingualism and the distinct character of Quebec. Quebec Liberal MPs are once again being played for fools.
It is, moreover, somewhat curious that the Quebec Liberal caucus leader, having been asked question after question by the Bloc Quebecois for more than three years, is now admitting that the ministers' reactions are unsatisfactory and that a response to the concerns of Quebec is now needed.
The Liberal strategists are busy concocting ways to justify to the public the use of tax havens by the present Prime Minister, his refusal to pay his fair share of taxes to the country he is in charge of, and his amnesia about the sponsorship scandal. They also need to find excuses for fiscal imbalance and the raids on the EI fund orchestrated by the former finance minister.
In short, they will have to explain their decision to serve their friends rather than the public.

Mr. Speaker, Acadia has lost two great figures in as many days. This past Sunday we learned of the death of Father Anselme Chiasson, and on Monday of the passing of Mrs. Léone Boudreau-Nelson.
Both were passionate about history. Father Anselme founded the Société historique acadienne, and Mrs. Boudreau-Nelson was its president for over 18 years.
In addition to her involvement with the historical society, Mrs. Boudreau-Nelson was well known as an educator for over 50 years in the public school system of the province and at the Université de Moncton.
Memories of this exceptional educational pioneer and all of her accomplishments will long be held in the Acadian collective consciousness.
As for Father Anselme, this modest Capuchin, a native of Chéticamp, a historian and ethnologist, has also left an indelible mark on Acadian culture and history.
For over 60 years, he tirelessly promoted his culture, and gained particular recognition for his extensive research and numerous publications on Acadian folklore. Father Anselme accumulated a most impressive Acadian folklore collection, particularly a collection—

Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise today on behalf of the Knights of Columbus, Notre Dame Council No. 2053 in Grand Falls-Windsor, to thank Ambassador Paul Cellucci for providing the Knights of Columbus with an American flag to be flown alongside the Canadian flag in remembrance of the events of September 11.
It was also a great pleasure for me to meet Ambassador Cellucci and present a photograph of this flag presentation, and a personal letter to him and President George Bush on behalf of the Knights of Columbus.
Because of the events of September 11, many stranded passengers had developed special relationships with people in Newfoundland and Labrador. Two such individuals were Nick Dobi of Lakeworth, Florida and Walt Loflin of Fort Collins, Colorado. These retired Continental Airline pilots presented the American flag to the Knights of Columbus on behalf of all Americans.
We would like to thank them from the bottom of our hearts for once again returning to show their appreciation. These individuals are true ambassadors for the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Mr. Speaker, in undemocratic countries people who justly criticize their governments are targeted by political witch hunts that punish and censor free speech.
In Canada, the instrument of coercion used to intimidate and silence those who disagree with failed government social policy is the Canadian Human Rights Commission.
This kangaroo court is headed by a patronage appointee. It recently recommended that an elected member of Parliament be dragged before a tribunal of jesters because I publicly criticized the government's apartheid scheme. Even worse, it turns out that this politically motivated, malicious persecution is as corrupt and morally bankrupt as the commission itself.
The so-called investigator for the Canadian political thought police was a candidate for a political party and member of the shadow cabinet. Also, the self-professed communications expert turned out to have been contracted by an Indian band to produce reports mimicking the Liberals' racist approach to Indian affairs.
In my own defence, the truth is not a crime and should not be censored, in spite of wishes by the Canadian political correctness commission.

Mr. Speaker, access to a high quality education is important to help Canadian women achieve economic progress and individual opportunity. That is why the Liberal government has improved access to students, created the Canada study grants, enhanced the education tax credit and created the Canada education savings grant.
The Canada study grants are particularly helpful to women pursuing doctoral studies. All these measures contribute to the government's goal of fostering an environment of lifelong learning. The amount of $1.3 billion yearly in tax relief is provided to students and the families who support them. The Canada student loans program provides $1.6 billion in loans and other financial assistance to almost half of all full time post-secondary students, many of them women, each year.
The Liberal government is firmly committed to helping women and indeed all Canadians who want to learn and achieve the skills required for this knowledge based society.

Mr. Speaker, the Senate may have seen fit to pass Bill C-250 yesterday, but that brings little reassurance to the hundreds of Canadians who have contacted me with their concerns about the legislation. They are worried that Bill C-250 will be used to attack legitimate forms of opinion and expression, rather than as a means of protecting minorities in Canada. The Owens case, in which a Saskatchewan man was declared guilty of a hate crime for advertising passages from the Bible, proves there is validity to their concern.
With so much of this soon to be law left open to interpretation, there is a definite opportunity to misuse and abuse. On behalf of my constituents in Blackstrap, I can only express my hope that the spirit of this law will prevail over its potential as a gag on our freedom of speech.

Mr. Speaker, April is the Canadian Cancer Society's Daffodil Month. This year 146,000 Canadians will develop cancer and 68,000 will die, making it the leading cause of premature death in Canada.
Today the chances of survival for many cancers has improved dramatically. I am proud to say that my province of British Columbia has been a leader in this field. By combining prevention, screening, clinical care, research and patient support under the single administration and budget of the B.C. Cancer Agency, a unique, integrated model was created.
There are 13 tumour groups, each dealing with a different type of cancer, that meet regularly to share information and best practices so that there is an equal quality of care across the province. There is targeted funding for early screening programs in each group. B.C. was the first in Canada to have a province-wide Pap smear program. Today, over 700,000 women are tested annually.
The B.C. Cancer Agency can now track the outcome of every patient diagnosed with cancer. As a result, B.C. has the lowest cancer mortality rates in Canada. Perhaps a national cancer agency based on the B.C. model would create similar outcomes across Canada.

Mr. Speaker, given the tax avoidance that went on and the millions that went in contracts to his own company from his own government, I can understand why it took that time but the Prime Minister has to file those forms.
Why have members of his own government not done so and when can we expect to see that happen?

Family of missing man asks for public's help
Points, prizes for Dream Team Gordon
MARQUETTE – Putting the ball in the basket on a consistent basis at the varsity level isn't an easy task.
Ewen-Trout Creek's Dillon Gordon only made it look that way this season. For that reason, Gordon was one of five U.P. boys' basketball players named to the U.P. Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association all-class Dream Team.
The 5-foot-11 senior was an easy choice for the 23 UPSSA members who met Wednesday at the Don H. Bottum University Center on the campus of Northern Michigan University.
Gordon averaged 28.5 points per game in the regular season. Only one of the Panthers' 20 regular season opponents held him under 18 points and Gordon had nine games of 30 or more this season and 15 such games in his career. His season high of 43 came against Houghton, co-champion of the Class C WestPAC and a Class C regional finalist.
Unfortunately for both him and the Panthers, Gordon suffered a high ankle sprain at Bessemer in the regular season finale, preventing him from making that same offensive impact in the postseason. Still, he finished his E-TC career with 1,797 points, more than enough for him to earn a place as the second-highest scorer among the best players in an already star-studded Panther program.
He fell just short of Class D Player of the Year honors, however, due to another outstanding effort from Mid Peninsula senior Brett Branstrom, who was not only an elite scorer (at 1,785 career points, just 12 short of Gordon) but an unparalleled rebounder. Branstrom, who was also elected to the Dream Team, hauled in an average of 21.1 boards per game.
Both were selected to the Associated Press All-State team but Branstrom prevailed in a narrow decision in the voting to become the Delta County school's first U.P. player of the year since brother Carl Branstrom earned the honor in 2006.
Three Class D players made Dream Team for the third consecutive year, with the third being Carney-Nadeau guard Wade Schetter. Schetter, a Class D First Team pick like Gordon last year, averaged 22.5 points, 6.1 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 5.1 steals a game. He led the Wolves to the state semifinals at the Breslin Center as a junior and finished just 12 steals short of the state record and as C-N's all-time leading scorer with 1,561 points (not counting points scored as an eighth-grader, which the Michigan High School Athletic Association does not count for records purposes).
The only unanimous selection to the Dream Team was Negaunee junior guard Tyler Jandron. Jandron led the Miners as deep as any team in the U.P. and averaged 18.1 points a game as his team went 19-1 in the regular season and also earned Class C Team of the Year honors. His coach, Mike O'Donnell, was the Class ABC Coach of the Year for the second time after first taking the award in 2008.
Marquette forward Mark Pap, a 6-6 senior, is the fifth Dream Teamer. He fell just short of averaging a double-double with 13.3 points and 9.5 rebounds. MSHS was the consensus No. 2 team in the UPSSA Class ABC poll and won Class AB Team of the Year honors.
The Class D Team of the Year is the 17-3 North Central Jets, also state semifinalists. Their coach, Adam Mercier, received Class D Coach of the Year honors for the first time for his efforts with the group, which includes no seniors.

State must spend school funds wisely
State aid to schools is expected to increase when the state budget is passed. No one knows yet quite how much local districts can expect to receive, but the total statewide is about $1 billion.
The additional money is sure to make life a little easier for school administrators as they put the finishing touches on the upcoming year's school budgets, but we caution state officials to spend money on education carefully.
The state's 2 percent tax-levy cap was designed to force tough decisions about local government spending. Schools have responded by tightening their belts.
The state also is asking schools to do more and should help pay for it. The advent of the Common Core standards in New York is changing the way schools teach and increasing the administrative duties on school districts. Teacher evaluations are another added layer of expense on districts. The state still has to have its discussion about a longer school day, which could mean more pay for teachers and added costs for school districts. Schools are being required to do more by the state, and the state should bear some of that cost in the form of increased state aid.
Priority should be given to school districts like Tupper Lake, which was pressured by the state into making deep cuts and yet is being squeezed further, to the point that officials are talking of possible insolvency in the near future. The current state aid formula, if it continues, would put this school district out of business, with others not far behind. Does anyone in Albany really want that?
Yet we also know from years of experience that simply throwing more money at public education won't magically make New York's education system better. State legislators must remember this as they finalize the state budget.

Tupper Lake village passes budget that cuts taxes
TUPPER LAKE – The village board pulled some reserves from its budget before passing it at a special meeting Tuesday afternoon.
The board decided to reduce the amount of fund balance it will use in the 2013-14 budget by $17,000, from $125,000 to $108,000. The idea is to let the balance build up in case of tough budget years in the future, said village Clerk Mary Casagrain.
That change brought the tax levy to $1,784,885, a 1.63 percent decrease from the current year, which is under the $1,858,811 allowed by the state's tax cap.
Total spending will be $2,493,922, a decrease of 1.28 percent from the current year.
The tax rate will decrease by 15.1 cents, or 1.2 percent, bringing it to $13.04 per $1,000 in assessed property value.
The budget includes $10,000 to put toward a vehicle replacement fund for the fire department. The fund will have to be more formalized in the future, but board members said they wanted to start putting away a little bit now.
The village board unanimously approved the budget with little comment. Village Mayor Paul Maroun noted the board went through the budget line by line in workshops.
"We think this budget is sound," he said. "I don't think anybody can be upset with a reduction of 15 cents a thousand in their assessed value."

Its Finally Here, Madden08 League Info
Posted 09 July 2007 - 12:56 AM
ill be hosting the league on www.leaguedaddy.com
here is an example of a league http://www.leaguedad...eagues/?lid=268
this will be just like our league, having 10 teams only however (5 in each conference and 3 teams from each conference making the playoffs with the #1 seed with a bye) youll see how the standings, power rankings, stats, leaders, and almost just about anything is on the right. while week by week in the middle the commisioner (me) updates a news story in the middle with pictures and such, simulating just as a real NFL season. When the playoffs begin you will see the brackets.
this website is really in depth and great, ive used it before - some inportant things to know are.
there is a set schedule with due times
every user MUST update their OWN statistics after each game
if you have a problem with a set schedule time, talk to your opponent, reschedule and get back to me.
the catch with this greatness is that there is a price..... and prices range in months of league time - here are the prices
1 Month Subscription - $12.95 USD
3 Month Subscription - $29.95 USD
6 Month Subscription - $54.95 USD
1 Year Subscription - $99.95 USD
within that time frame you can have as many seasons as you wish..... its relatively cheap too if everyone chips in, were looking at around 3 to 10 dollars per gamer.
im thinking the 6 month subscription, around 5 dollars per person. it would be easiest if everyone participating sent me 5 dollars a piece via paypal so i could easily purchase it. i promise all money goes to the league and only to the league. i have a job and 50 dollars is not a big deal to me. the league will be great fun, we just need to get all the money together first. more details to come when all money is collected... PM me if you have any questions, or just reply.
this will be great fun!!
Posted 09 July 2007 - 01:45 AM
My second question is why can't we have an NYJETSFAN football bracket and do it that way?

so lets start this league off right now......
1. Everyone in this league make sure your an XBL friend with everyone else.
2. We will pick teams now.
instructions: everyone PM me with 3 teams you would like to simulate as.... ex.
1. new york jets (most wanted)
2. miami dolphins (2nd option)
3. new england patriots (3rd option)
i will then make note and if 2 people want the same team i will tell those two people (or howevermany) want it and they will decide for themselves. Once everyteam has been picked i will draw the 10 teams and seperate them into conferences, and devise a schedule.
.. i will make a spreadsheet of the teams when everyone has picked which will contain every stat, record, and leaders....
lets get it started

Honestly the chargers are garbage in madden. All they have is Gates and L.T. They have no deep threat. I'm not worried about no got damn Chargers!!!
I think the Colts and Pats are going to be the cheapest team to use in 08.
Anyhow.. If the Jets are taken I'll take the Jags with their shutdown defense and 6'5 WR's... lock it up!!

Yea I know what you mean, Its funny how many be the Falcons just to scramble with Vick. The rest of the team sucks on that game, when I play with the Falcons I usually run the ball with Dunn, usually people are so worried about containing Vick they dont blitz you and you have a good amount of time in the pocket to hit WRs. Also you can run up the middle with Dunn because the guys go outside to contain vick, and when their done containing him thats when you break a long one with Vick. Every year I play with every team to get a win, because you get some kind of trophy for winning with every team, plus it makes the game interesting. Some reason I never really play with the Jets online, IDK why, I think its because I get so pissed that the roster isnt right so I cant play with them, because I want the roster and depth charts to be exact to the one I watch on TV. Like I couldnt stand that Bryan Thomas was a DE in our 3-4 last year... Hopefully they fix it and get Thomas at OLB and Barton at ILB with Hobson at the other OLB. And then have Coleman at DE with Ellis.

Even Works for Cluster Headaches! Yippe-Yippee-Yah, Yippee-Ya, Yippe-Yuh!
Posted by Reviewer2419498 on Nov 05, 2009
These tabs are one of Few effective abortive treatments I have found for Cluster Headaches. For a shadow, i put one tab under my tongue so it will be absorbed through the mucous membranes. For an oncoming Cluster Headaches, I use three tabs immediately upon feeling an aura. For best results, I drink a little cold water first so that the tab will dissolve faster. It works within 5-10 minutes for me approx 60% of the time. If no results with 10min, I immediately proceed to a plan B before the CH gets out of control. Please note that these will Not prevent Cluster Headaches, only abort them. I always keep at least 6 tabs in convenient locations in my bedroom, car, pocket, etc. Rarely do I ever see reviews for Cluster Headaches so I hope that this helps for those who suffer from dreaded Cluster Headaches and I hope others will post detailed reviews (Good or Bad) on products they have tried for Cluster Headaches. Since few products effectively abort Cluster Headaches, it may be worth a try for migraines too.
migraine be gone
Posted by Reviewer2250288 on Dec 05, 2008
this is an amazing formula. it works within seconds for me. i highly recommend it to anyone with "cluster migraines" ....even the prescribed rx didn't rid me of them so fast; it's good to know i am only ingesting real herbs.
Migraine sufferers
Posted by Reviewer2545006 on Nov 01, 2008
finally something that isn't a horse pill and it actually works. For me I could keep on going this past two weeks rather than curl up into a ball in bed [sleeping away my precious life] *True, one must still address the issues which CAUSE the migraine in the first place and this gives just enough relieve to be able to get help- I could still feel its presence but the migraine didn't over take my life for a first. It's been a great week or two compared to what it would have been without B&T's Migraide.
When it works... it really works!
Posted by stephd on Jan 12, 2012
With homeopathics, if the symptoms don't match up with the remedy, then it just doesn't work, but when it does -- it's fabulous! My partner had a horrendous migraine on top of prepping for a colonoscopy, so she was miserable. Normally she will take aspirin in combination with other drugs but she isn't allowed to take them before the procedure. I remembered that I had this in the medicine cabinet (it works for some of my migraine and cluster headaches so I keep it on hand) and it's not a blood thinner, so I made her take a couple of them under her tongue. Within half an hour, her headache was gone! She's so relieved.
Posted by Reviewer2789266 on Jul 14, 2011
Worth a try if you catch it before it worsens.
Chronic Cluster Headaches
Posted by Reviewer1549246 on Nov 25, 2011
Having a herbal formula that 1. does not interact with other drugs and 2. is safe and 3. actually works. I have all the 'triptans' etc in my drawer and I have found that Migraide really does remove the 'shadow' headache often assoc with CCH. Thankyou and highly recommended.
Great product.
Posted by Reviewer1709121 on Mar 21, 2014
I love this product. It works great for headaches, and helps 70-80% for migraines.
Great product!
Posted by 5556265627473514328 on Nov 06, 2014
It actually relieves headaches and saves the use of pain killers. It is effective even when not taken immediately when the headache starts. I highly recommend it!!
great product

Product Review: Shiseido Mascara Base and more!
So this video is sooo old, I just haven't had time to post it. I did a review on shieseido mascara base…this product works wonders! It really thickens and lengthens my lashes and keeps the curl. Two thumbs up! I'm due for a new mascara soon…I haven't really heard great things about MAC mascara…does anybody have any good recommendations on a good mascara? So far I've used fiberwig, diorshow, telescopic, define a lash, the sucky l'oreal one with primer on one side and mascara on the other. I bought the ELF mascara when I did the elf haul a few weeks back…but I haven't opened it and don't really expect it to be the bomb mascara either. I really like diorshow because it goes on nice and thick, but I wish the brush was a little smaller. I tend to like traditional brushes, not the new plastic comb-like ones. I'm leaning towards getting Shiseido Lifting Mascara since I love the mascara base so much.
Here's the video on my review:
Notice my long, curly hair in this video…ahhhh nostalgia. I went to work today and got a lot of compliments on the 'do…however, I have noticed that ppl say I look younger with it. Yah think so? I was trying to avoid that. When I was around 14…I tried to pull off the Meg Ryan spunky hair look…do you guys remember that? I ended up shaving another four years off with that look…I looked so young.
On another note, I can't wait to get home and take a nap…the time change thing really messed me up. Today is the only free day this week I have to relax. Here's my schedule for the week:
1) Tuesday: dinner /college roomy reunion and sorority stuff all night after that
2) Wednesday: sorority stuff all night
3) Thursday: sorority stuff all night
4) Friday-early Saturday: sorority stuff all night
5) Saturday: prolly going out at night with the sorority
6) Sunday: vacation planning meeting in the afternoon with my crew. We call ourselves the "get it girl" crew. As in, "get it girl!!!". The first year started with my BFF Alex and me traveling to Barcelona, London, and Paris. The next year we expanded it to a group of 7 girls. We flew to Miami for two nights then took a 7 night cruise to Puerto Rico, St Thomas, Bahamas, and Turks and Caicos. This year we're kicking it back up a notch and plan on going to Costa Rica, woo hoo! We'll probably fly down there and stay for about 8 nights and travel to different parts of the country. Since we're uber-dorks we have vacation meetings to plan, he he.
Fortunately all the sorority stuff will be done by this weekend. That's what happens when you make a life long commitment to an organization…I'm also the chapter advisor to my sorority so it's extra obligations with that one. It's been taking over my life! Luckily I have a bunch of videos that are complete so I don't have to spend time editing and making videos in my free time.
Thank God for my boyfriend because he really helps me out with them. I was out doing sorority stuff Friday night and I came home to see that he edited my import girl video for me. Not only did he edit it, add music and titles, but he also photoshopped my pics with a really cool effect where only my face is highlighted in color and the rest of the background is black and white. He said this is so people can focus on my makeup. He also changes the background of my youtube page now and then to mix it up…all without me asking! I really appreciate it because sometimes I get a little burnt out from all the video editing. He's really into music as well and matches looks to the video songs…so if you like the music on my vids you have him to thank I really lucked out with a BF so supportive, creative, and really into various art mediums. Thanks baby!
Here are the completed videos I have yet to upload, I'll probably upload them in this order:
1) Urban Decay Deluxe Eyeshadow Look #2
2) Basics of eyeshadow blending
3) Import girl look
4) MAC brushes
5) Tiger Eyes
I think this is good enough to last me two weeks. This week I'll take a break from makeup and filming videos since I've got so much going on. I'll just post the videos above.
Next week I'll film more videos including:
1) Skincare routine
2) Tutorial using some new pigments I bought from CCO (frost, pastorale, cornflower, aire-de-blu, jardin aires).
Stay tuned, there's a lot coming up!

You know what, I returned the UD mascara and exchanged for the shu uemura fiber xtension mascara. I been using diorshow for quite awhile too and I thought its time to try something different. I'll post some pics for you using the shu uemura mascara (can't promise when but I'll do that sometime this week hehe). I really like it. Its smudgeproof and water resistant, which is a must for me. Oh, and if you need/want something from MAC Pro, holla at me. The store in not far from where I work so I am literally there at least once a week! Hahaha. I don't mind helping mac addicts like me. :)

I recommend Benefit Bad Gal lash mascara, it is amazing! it literally thickens and lengthens so much that it looks like ur wearing false lashes (just like it says on the packaging) :)

I've tried Diorshow, Fiberwig, Definealash, Bad Gal...basically all of them! And I highly recommend Max Factor Lash Perfection in waterproof. I liked Diorshow except for the brush, it's just too big. But MF gives me the really similar results to Diorshow w/o the large brush. However, it does have the plasticy brush but I find it clumps way less with it.
P.S. Love the vids!

It's so weird; I've never seen a picture of your eye up close! Haha.
Anyway, I don't have any good recs for you. :\ I like Clinique High Impact mascara, but you need either a base, or a waterproof mascara over it because it sucks at holding a curl.
Your boyfriend is super sweet! The most my boyfriend has done is let me borrow his camera for filming tutorials, haha.

Budget: Maybelline Sky high curves waterproof.
High-end: Shu Uemura waterproof mascara. This is like my HG of waterproof mascaras.
As for non-waterproof then the Max Factor Masterpiece mascara is pretty good. Hope this helps!

Oh, almost forgot! The Anna Sui mascaras: "volume" and "long" used in combination are awesome! I always use these if I'm going out!

Seems like the thread always make a boost when it is early in the morning here xPPP
If Ash or Dawn had feelings for eachother which one of their friends would push them to admit it to one another?
Interesting question,I don't remember that being asked before =D
I will copy DeeDee style to repy to this:
-From Hikari's side I would mostly say Nozomi.It's her closest rival and all,she did help Hikari through the way
Not much as Satoshi xP
Also I remember Nozomi guessing what Hikari had in mind after the GF and she guessed right: Satoshi. xD
So yeah,I think she noticed some sparkles already,then it's nice to have her as a notable Pearlshipper.
-From Satoshi's side I would go for...*dies from extensive thinking,then revives*
I don't know :S,I don't know someone who would help just Satoshi for being much closer to him...
-Both sides,there is Kotone,Haruka(she likes romance after all xP),Dento and...maybe Takeshi?Even if he was a third-wheel on DP,he stayed there all the time,watching SatoHika bond grow.
