Hillary: Go vote...I'll watch your kidsPosted Wednesday, January 2, 2008, at 9:34 AM
As I was perusing the morning headlines today I came across one that I thought was worth sharing.
I want to start out by saying that there's nowhere to find good humor quite like you can during an election and this is no exception.
With the Iowa Caucus tomorrow morning, the Democrat race is still up for grabs there and the candidates are doing everything in their power to drag their supporters to the polls, and I mean anything.
According to a story this morning, Hillary, or as I like to call her, "The H-Bomb," has taken an entirely new approach to get out the vote.
Her campaign has reportedly began hiring teenage babysitters and Iowa day-care centers to watch children so Clinton voting mothers can be sure to make it to the polls.
Nothing much to this, but I just had to pass it along.
Look for another blog once the Iowa caucus results are in. Any early predictions?

I think Hillary will carry the majority. Does kind of sound like buying votes with childcare though I bet they all do similar things though. Where I grew up they just handed out free whiskey.

Corey Noles' response:Haha! I wonder how that would go over today?
Well, it certainly wouldn't get the "values" voters, would it?
I think the Republicans would be delighted if the "Big Bad Wolf" pulled out ahead for the Dems.
What a shock if she won the final vote, though!

To a certain extent I think that most men that vote where I am from still expect to get a free drink or two. I think it is just kind of a custom now. Election day is a big day.
Think you would really be shocked GL. I don't think that anything would shock me when it comes to polotics.
-- Posted by I.B. Le Truth on Wed, Jan 2, 2008, at 7:58 PM
A "free drink"! What an American tradition!
I just wish that we could trust our own eyes - that "what we see" is "what we'll get." There are so many hidden agendas!
-- Posted by goat lady on Thu, Jan 3, 2008, at 7:11 AM
Well,I hadn't heard this and I am impressed with Hillary,at least she saw a problem,found a solution, and then implemented that solution to the benefit of herself and her target audience.
She put some to work,free daycare to persons who needed it, with no assurance they would even vote for her,but the expectation is they will.
She has gone up considerably in my book,I see her thinking like a woman (& a mom).
I missed voting when the kids were smaller because of this very issue,and nobody ever helped me. This seems like a "hidden agenda" when-
a.)A woman thinks of it, it's self serving then. If it was John McCain,he would be praised for thinking outside the box,or being pro-active to a serious problem faced by potential voters!
b.)You personally do not need this help,then it's a blatant ploy to woo female voters with an "act".
c.)Your opponents wish they had thought of this first-curses!
Yes, I may sway from my pretty boy lawyer,John Edwards.

Heck, drinks in return for votes isn't surprising or shocking. Where I come from people vote for years after they're DEAD. Now, at first I found that to be a little shocking. Then I remembered just how much of a Yellow Dog Democrat my adopted "mimi" was and I wasn't the least bit surprised that she continued to vote posthumously.
I still can't make up my mind who I want, but I know some that I don't want. I still say I'd rather vote for Ru Paul than Ron Paul.
-- Posted by Ducky on Thu, Jan 3, 2008, at 5:06 PM
Angelina you took it for gtanted that it was single moms who needed child care so they could go vote (excuse me caucus) didn't you. Seems you forgot there are single dads too. Do you want to woo single moms only? Not sure how I feel about that, but it sure makes me go hummm.
-- Posted by I.B. Le Truth on Thu, Jan 3, 2008, at 9:41 PM
Sorry,I tried to remain gender neutral with persons,then became politically incorrect with the use of the word female.Oops.
I'm often politically incorrect,glad you aren't,fellow person.
My pretty boy lawyer came in second in a contest that Clinton (Male) lost in 1992,along with N.H.,yet still won the race. Maybe there's hope for my guy yet!
-- Posted by AngelinaJolie on Fri, Jan 4, 2008, at 9:07 AM
I have to admit, Angelina, your pretty boy lawyer is looking better and better - considering that Ru Paul isn't running.
I was a bit surprised to see Hillary's third place finish in Iowa. We'll see what the rest of the year brings. We're still 359+/- days from the actual election.
That may be enough time for me to make up my mind. Actually, I'll probably be soooooo sick of hearing and reading about politics by the election day that I'll write in "None of the Above."
-- Posted by Ducky on Fri, Jan 4, 2008, at 1:39 PM
You know I was messing with you AJ because it is so easy for all of us to automatically think the way you were. It is how we are programmed.
I was surprised a little to see Hillary finish so far back. I thought it would be a lot closer. A lot of things may change as we go into the other states. Iowa does not really reflect the feelings or beliefs of a lot of other states such as Florida or say Colorado. The same goes for Huckabee. This will be very interesting.
-- Posted by I.B. Le Truth on Fri, Jan 4, 2008, at 7:36 PM
New Hampshire is going to be interesting, isn't it? I doubt Huckabee will do well up there - especially if they get wind of that story about his son torturing and killing a dog...
Anybody heard that one?
-- Posted by goat lady on Sat, Jan 5, 2008, at 8:31 AM
I seen that but it was like a blip. Wonder why it wasn't covered more?
-- Posted by I.B. Le Truth on Sat, Jan 5, 2008, at 8:44 AM
NO one more phony than your pretty boy lawyer and NO one more ruthless than the Clintons. Wouldn't it be refreshing for both of them to just go away.......
Truth is, out of all the candidates from both parties, we, the people, are left with mostly political CRAP.
-- Posted by shannonhoon on Sat, Jan 5, 2008, at 11:29 PM
I,as a European American (stand strong Nicholas) have often felt that I should organize my own group (activists) to demean and ridicule government (U.N. governance)(media attached of course) for what it has become. However, the negative spotlight which "focused groups" (high-dollar-controllers of the universe) would then label me eccentric - I like that word - and I would never see daylight as I am accustomed to again. Oh well, I'm sure it's all for the best then. In the beginning, I'm positive I'd do "good" work; but somehow I would long forget my original mission and become dedicated to building MY financial and political empire. Of course, along with MY bigger goals that in order to fund MY ever-expanding organization comes the need for y-o-u (the people) to dig deeper and deeper into your pockets.
Conclusion: As in draw your own....

I have some trouble understanding you, Grati Tude. Are you saying that a man/woman can begin a political career for all the right, noble reasons - but, somewhere along the line, they get off track and become self-serving??
-- Posted by goat lady on Sun, Jan 6, 2008, at 7:36 AM
Still like my pretty boy lawyer,but I really thought each of the Dem's made a few good points.
I have pretty well tuned out all the republicans out,except McCain.
Huckabee was just too soft on felons as gov of Arkansas-remember Bill Clinton's teenage cousin Ashley Stevens was kidnapped and raped by serial rapist Wayne Dumond?
Dumond was convicted,but convinced the Arkansas Society of Republicans Who Hate All Things Clinton that was the only reason he was convicted-she was Bill's cousin.
That was good enough for Gov. Huckabee,as he met with the parole board without it being taped or recorded,so only those present and God can contradict Bro. Mike.
After Dumond's pardon, he sashayed over to Missouri,where he was suspected in more rapes and convicted of the rape-murder of Carol Shields (DNA conviction). I remember Huckabee's meeting with Ashley and her folks when she literally got up in Mike's face,an inch from his nose,and told him "This is how close I was to Wayne Dumond. I will never forget his face. Now I don't want you to ever forget my face."
Of course, now Bro. Mike denies all of this, well he didn't really read the appeal and bio of the career felon,blah blah blah. Just did what he was told? Not much on book learnin'.Relies on his "trusted advisors" for the fact checking, weapons of mass destruction-oops-wrong gov.,same cop out.
I think I would rather re-elect G.W. Bush than put the Huckster in as Pres.
How can you have such blind hatred of your fellow human that you do such a reckless act,that's what we already have-been there,seen it,done it, got the concert t-shirt folks.
-- Posted by AngelinaJolie on Sun, Jan 6, 2008, at 9:49 AM
AJ, have you ever looked at Clinton's pardon record? I am sure you have some rationale for all of his questionable decisions when handing out pardons to felons of ALL kinds. Just curious how a single one makes you not like a candidate so much, but seem to maintain a love affair with the white trash First Family from Arkansas?
-- Posted by shannonhoon on Sun, Jan 6, 2008, at 6:05 PM
Nope,because I am pretty sure I am not voting for ANY present or former governor of ANY state.
I never voted for Clinton either time,so that sort of shoots down the "love affair" portion of your comment. Since I never supported him, I feel no need to check all his pardons-it was Bill Clinton. 'Nuff said-if he runs again,fill me in,otherwise why would I even care?
Hillary may be many things,but I would hardly call her "white trash".Of course,you must have a different definition.Who said I was voting for her-I am UNDECIDED,but I like John Edwards so far,and some of her,and some of Obama,but no bumper stickers just yet!
ONE pardon, are you joking? In ten and 1/2 years as governor, Huckster pardoned or commuted sentences 1,033 times-about one every four days as governor.Compare that to Clinton,Frank White, and that lovely predecessor, Jim Guy Tucker,who in their total of 17 1/2 years they pardoned 507 persons! Don't even start me on his pardoning of Jim Guy Tucker because it would cost $1200 to let him serve his entire sentence!
Yes, Mike Huckabee stands out a little more in my mind than Bill Clinton,(although I did think Rolling Stones Keith Richards should be pardoned for a 1975 traffic offense,since I enjoy the Stones music-self serving on my part).
Current Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe has pardoned 40 as of the end of 2007.
Why does this ONE pardon really tick me off? Let us turn to the ancient history of the late 1990's.
Because of that crap show "A Current Affair" and the idiot Steve Dunleavy or however you spell it. He questioned whether little Ashley was making it all up for attention. Vicious,amoral jerks to treat rape victims like this.
The hatred was so intense of the Clinton's,I recall an article about "The Rape That Never Happened" and of course again,this little girl was NOT shielded,her name was smeared,she was a ***** who was asking for it,poor Wayne Dumond was an innocent Vietnam Veteran who had never been in trouble before, I guess except for killing some guy with a lead pipe,child molestation, and conviction for sexual assaults,etc. yep-he was a model citizen except for those few blips!
I could not believe he was pardoned,and I could not believe this little girl was dragged through the mud all over America. I do not find child molesters,serial killers,or rapists to be those that pardons were meant for. They have no warm and fuzzy place in my heart,and when I heard what Bro. Mike said to Ashley,basically calling her a liar,and just repeating what he heard on "Current Affair" as fact to HER,the rape victim, I was truly shocked.
I have a daughter the same age as Ashley Stevens,and it hurt my heart to think of my baby being treated this way,no one deserves this.I have mother's memory when it comes to Mike Huckabee, and this is why I will NEVER vote for him.
If he's your guy,then go for it. I have left straight ticket voting after I voted for GW Bush instead of Al Gore.
-- Posted by AngelinaJolie on Mon, Jan 7, 2008, at 12:14 PM
Thank goodness you chose right on your final straight ticket ballot. Good to leave them behind though.....have to vote for the best person, regardless of ideology. Too many yellow dog bed wetting dems and ultra manic limbaugh reps in this world and all they do is tear people apart and ruin US politics. I would love to see Wolf Blitzer and the rest of the talking heads just be gone.
Glad to hear you have a strong, well thought out opinion and NO love affair....Do check into the authenticity of John Edwards and also into Obama's ultra liberal voting record. Choices aren't in abundance this time around and we may just be stuck with someone unworthy of this seat.......regardless of the selection.
-- Posted by shannonhoon on Mon, Jan 7, 2008, at 1:43 PM
All of them are saying the right things. Change everything. Health care for all, tuition assistance and get out of Iraq. These things seem to make everyone happy.
Sure, I can agree with those things. Good ideas, but tell me how you are going to do it. Do they just tell the Defense Department to bring everyone home. How do you propose to pay for the change? How do you propose to stop Al Qaeda. They don't care who the President is. It is our constitution they despise.
The cake might taste good, but the ingredients might be poisoinous. Tell me whats in it. Put the ingredients label on the package.
-- Posted by I.B. Le Truth on Tue, Jan 8, 2008, at 11:45 PM
That's why I'm still undecided. Look at the mess in Afghanistan. The Evil Empire-the Soviet Union was responsible for all the woes,and when they invaded poor little Afghanistan back a few decades ago and set up a puppet Afghan government,something had to be done!
Our tax dollars were used to train and arm the brave rebel forces against the Evil Empire,the brave Muhjadeen,and our buddy the Saudi Osama Bin Laden.Which did turn back the Soviets,then turned into the Taliban, and now use American weapons and training against American soldiers today.
What is worse,the old USSR or the present mess in the Middle East?
I don't believe you can stop Al-Qaeda because they are funded with oil money,and most people are unwilling to change their oil dependent ways.
One person riding in a gas guzzler,or an SUV on a sunny,dry day,people who turn their a/c or heat on high,refuse to make any energy changes.
A yellow ribbon is lovely,but it won't win a war or bring troops home.
Now, so many talking heads want to start it up with Iran,even though we already fought them and lost. I consider it a loss- our arming,financing,encouraging and sending advisors to our good buddy Sadam Hussein when he invaded Iran back in 1980,and we paid untold billions to him and fought that war for eight years.
What was the outcome-Iraq never gained an inch of ground,a million persons died,a million were wounded,and there were few left who loved our country in the Middle East up to the present day. I think everybody lost,including the American taxpayers,so why start something new when we have to borrow money from China to even pay for it?
"Those who fail to remember history are doomed to repeat it" is so true.
I agree with Truthy,before I vote in November, I want to have a plan,not a soundbite of idealism and a promise of "change".
-- Posted by AngelinaJolie on Wed, Jan 9, 2008, at 10:36 AM
Wow. I love this blog. So many ideas. I too am undecided. None of the candidates satisfy me. I agree with both Angelina and Truthy, more factual information, please. Don't just tell me what you think I want to hear.
-- Posted by Ducky on Thu, Jan 10, 2008, at 3:03 PM
I don't even know if I'm voting. I haven't in the past, b/c no one person fills my expectancy as president. Even though it's my civil duty to do so, I just can't decide. I know I have to see who outweighs the other's, whether I agree w/ them 100% or not. But I just can't. B/c, as was said before a couple times, none of them can tell me how they plan to put these wonderful ideas into play. I need healthcare, so that's a huge thing to me. And I can't find a job, so economy is big too. Gas prices on the other hand, not so much b/c they are just doing what they have always done, and are raising w/ the cost of living. And the war, that's something I don't have much of an opinion on. We aren't doing mass amounts of good over there, but things will get majorly bad if we pull out now. So I am neither for or against it. Who is gonna get my vote? Who knows. I agree w/ whoever said I'll prolly be too sick of hearing a/b it come November to vote for anyone. I'm already half way there.
-- Posted by mrsdolphin on Thu, Jan 10, 2008, at 7:02 PM
Don't wait around for any of these phonies to tell you sincere/honest details about their "plans". Their "plans" are plans on how to fool enough folks to get elected. Hillary is a calculated ruthless win at all cost politician who has 0 experience. Period. Barack Hussein Obama is getting a free pass from the media because he is unbelievably well spoken and refreshing to hear speak.....the incredibly liberal voting record and beliefs aren't a topic right now. The other side has McCain....respectable war hero, but a John Kerry flip flopper. Huckster, as he is referred to here, has flaws some of which have been pointed out here. Romney is slick, no slick Willy, but slick. Thompson is the most down to earth candidate but doesn't seem to be willing to run a campaign necessary in today's media circus world. Oh, forgot your Angelina's lawyer buddy. Talk to anyone in North Carolina and see how they feel about him. Unless they are a yeller dawg, I promise they will not talk too favorably.
This election is second rate.....anxious to see if anyone rises in the "looking presidential" category. Right now, it looks like we are going to be playing a couple junior varsity players on the varsity.
Angelina...your comments about the US's history are insane. Hope you had no relatives in any of those battles, including the one now that mine say we are winning and perservering in. Surge is working, one year anniversary was yesterday.....Not a single report from our fair and balanced media.
-- Posted by shannonhoon on Fri, Jan 11, 2008, at 5:56 PM
Sorry if a truthful perspective on US covert involvement in the Iran-Iraq war offends you.
As for your flip comment on "having a relative" in the war-MY SON IS IN THIS FLIPPING WAR.Is that good enough for you?
I really hate Blind Melon,now.

33 Senators Voted Against English as America's Official Language June 6, 2007
On Wed, 6 June 2007 23:35:23 -0500, 'Colonel Harry Riley USA ret' wrote:
Your vote against an amendment to the Immigration Bill 1348, to make English America' s official language is astounding. On D-Day no less when we honor those that sacrificed in order to secure the bedrock character and principles of America .
I can only surmise your vote reflects a loyalty to illegal aliens.
I don't much care where you come from, what your religion is, whether you're black, white or some other color, male or female, democrat, republican or independent, but I do care when you're a United States Senator, representing citizens of America and vote against English as the official language of the United States
Your vote reflects betrayal, political surrender, violates your pledge of allegiance, dishonors historical principle, rejects patriotism, borders on traitorous action and, in my opinion, makes you unfit to serve as a United States Senator... impeachment, recall, or other
appropriate action is warrented.
Worse, 4 of you voting against English as America ''s official language are presidential candidates: Senator Biden, Senator Clinton, Senator Dodd, and Senator Obama.
Those 4 Senators vying to lead America but won't or don't have the courage to cast a vote in favor of English as America''s official language when 91% of American citizens want English officially designated as our language.
This is the second time in the last several months this list of Senators have disgraced themselves as political hacks... unworthy as Senators and certainly unqualifed to serve as President of the United States.
If America is as angry as I am, you will realize a back-lash so stunning it will literally rock you out of your panties... and preferably, totally out of the United States Senate.
The entire immigration bill is a farce... your action only confirms this really isn't about America ; it''s aboutself-serving politics...despicable at best.

Easy, native you might blow a gasket. I think we should have an official language, but there may be some things in that bill that we don't really want. I don't know. I think we can get concerned over a lot of other things. What are they doing wasting their time on this anyway. How about wasting their time on steroid use in MLB. Give me a break, who cares? Get to work on solving the energy shortage, health care, our infrastructure with collapsing bridges, our education system and securing our borders. I didn't vote for anyone to go there to worry about an official language or investigate Major League Baseball. We have law enforcement officials to handle that.

Angie....so your son thinks we are failing? Does he see anything positive being accomplished? All of my friends and relatives who have served or are serving go on and on about the progress and all of the media coverage which doesn't paint a complete or truthful picture.

My son is an active member of the U.S. Military.I do not speak for him,and I really don't appreciate your "so your son thinks" crack,if you had any sense you would know I am only talking for myself.Until I told you,in response to your other comment,you were not aware my child was in this war.
Although native obviously despises all Democrats,and I usually tune out anybody who hates all of any party,unless it's the Nazi Party or a sell-you-sexy-lingerie party, I do like their statement "Never argue with an idiot"...
You will never know the fear my husband and I have gone through every moment our baby is out of our sight,we are sick of this war as every other person and want our child back home.
I will not tolerate anymore comment about my child,any flip,snide comments from somebody who cannot possibly understand our life. This thread has really gone down and I'm just going to walk away Hoon,before you beat me down with your vast experience.
Write whatever pops into your head because I'm not reading it.In fact, I've yet to read any of your comments on any board that really are interesting,especially your legalize drugs one.Go for it,call me anything,cause when I post this, I won't read another thing you write.
You can insult any opinion I have,even me,but my baby is off limits.
-- Posted by AngelinaJolie on Sat, Jan 12, 2008, at 7:34 PM
Take it easy Angelina. Since I am retired military I think I can tell you. Your son serves his country because he wants to. He may not say it, but I will bet that is why he does it and if he is like me he understands that he does it for the people to be able to express their opinion no matter what. On the other hand if you don't respond you are failing to do what your son is protecting your right to do. Please respond, but stay calm, you will be better at it and for it.
-- Posted by I.B. Le Truth on Sat, Jan 12, 2008, at 8:33 PM
I only asked if your son thought there was progress being made in our War. My relatives and friends who have been or are there now think there is. I only have respect for your son and the job he is doing. I only have respect for you, your husband, and your family for the sacrifice you go through. I never pretended to know your life and I wouldn't pretend to know what it is like to have a son or daughter go to war. My comments were in response to yours insinuating we were losing another war. In my honest opinion, I feel this war is being won and progress is being made. I also feel your son and others defending our country have given all of us 7 years of safety with NO attacks on our home turf. Your son is nothing less than a hero. I don't wish to put you through any more negativity and didn't intend to in the first place. This was a good thread with some great opinion and it went from that to rather comical to in some way being offensive. In NO WAY was I insulting your son or you. I was questioning your thoughts on our military accomplishments and history.....In future years, we will look back on your son and his comrads as American Heroes serving the greatest nation on earth and making it a place of freedom and a place that spreads freedom to those who couldn't achieve it on their own. God Bless.

Wow, thats pretty good hoon. I think. I have a son-inlaw there. He has never told me anything other than positive and has never complained. I do worry a lot about him though.
-- Posted by I.B. Le Truth on Mon, Jan 14, 2008, at 7:38 PM
Truth.....same goes to your son and you all as a family...Your son is a true hero. That word is overused these days. Hero of a game, hero of the playoffs.over used. Your son and jolie's son are true heroes in every sense of that word. And you all as families deserve so much credit also for all that you go through, most of which other Americans don't appreciate and even take for granted as we go about our daily lives. I hope jolie gets back on here and takes me at my word. This post started as some friendly political back and forth. I don't get on here to intentionally wreck someone's day.
I do like hearing your son's positive take on the war. I remember at the start when our country was united how popular it was to support this thing, and then when things hit their low point how easy and fun some seemed to have watching and hearing of our struggles. Now, hopefully we are making some headway and doing what we set out to do, spread freedom. I truly hope and pray your heroes come home safely and get to appreciate the glory that they deserve.
This started out as a post about Hillary and her quest to do anything to get votes. I am enjoying reading positive sentiments about our troops much more. Maybe we should start one that only has to do with that subject!

The three week schedule of post season wrestling in Ohio starts with sectionals across the state on Friday.
Among the most reliable sources to get a feel for the upcoming tournaments is the annual Brakeman Wrestling Forecast. This is the 37th consecutive edition and Brian Brakeman covers wrestling in the state of Ohio slavishly and as a labor of love. He is a treasure trove of knowledge and respected as an opinion leader within the sport.

After 10 or so years of flying and who knows how many dollars paid to an FBO to rent an airplane, I recently joined the ranks of aircraft ownership. (What did I buy? A 1968 Piper Cherokee, thanks for asking.) A few days ago I had one of those revelations. This one was the "I can't ask the flight school for help anymore" revelation.
You know the "ask the flight school" impulse. The landing strut doesn't look right, but you're just not sure, so you…ask somebody at the flight school to look at it with you. Or the left landing light isn't functioning. You can still fly, but when you get back on the ground you note it on the squawk sheet and now it's the flight school's problem to deal with.
In my case, I remembered that I need to keep close tabs on my airplane's tire pressure (which of course you need to do anyway, whether you rent or own). And I realized that I can't ask the flight school to help me check the pressure anymore. So now I'm also the proud owner of a tire pressure gauge.
Thankfully, in 10 years of renting I've picked up some knowledge from airplane owners to help prolong the life of an airplane and hopefully keep annual inspection costs within the realm of sanity. I share these with you so that, as you fly airplanes you rent, you'll develop good habits that will put a smile on the owner's face. And should you choose to buy an airplane, these habits will be second-nature.
1. Keep it neat. Don't trash up the airplane with soda bottles, candy wrappers, or anything else. My friend Lin once found a used diaper in her beloved Piper Archer that she leased back to the local flight school. Gross.
2. Nothing on the top of the instrument panel. Don't get into the habit of placing a headset, kneeboard, or anything else on the top of the airplane's instrument panel as you preflight. These can scratch your windshield.
3. Lean the mixture. On the ground, before taxiing, lean the mixture. (Follow your airplane's POH recommendation in this regard.) This will help to prevent carbon buildup on the spark plugs. (And hey, the February 2011 issue of Flight Training happens to have a handy tech tip on cleaning spark plugs during a magneto check!)
4. Be judicious with the lights. If you are in the habit of turning on the landing lights before takeoff and leaving them on throughout the duration of the flight, it's not a crime. But it does wear the lights out quicker. And, as another owner once told me, they're expensive. So follow your checklist and shut the landing lights off during cruise. (If it's a hazy day and you want the extra insurance that you'll be seen, that's another story.)
5. Don't ride the brakes during taxi. These are expensive to replace, too.
6. Button up the airplane when you're finished. Make sure the gust lock is in place and the airplane is locked and securely tied down and chocked. If somebody is literally walking out to the ramp to take the airplane from you as you shut down, obviously this isn't necessary, but for every other occurrence, it should be.
Got any more "act like an owner" tips? If so, throw them in the Comments section.

Skip to comments.Barry Alvarez: Big Ten agrees no more FCS opponents
Posted on 02/13/2013 8:04:43 AM PST by ConservativeStatement
Madison Speaking on his monthly radio show Tuesday night, Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez shared a nugget of information that should cheer football fans who long for better nonleague games.
According to Alvarez, Big Ten officials recently agreed to stop scheduling nonconference games against FCS programs.
The nonconference schedule in our league is ridiculous, Alvarez said on WIBA-AM. Its not very appealing
So weve made an agreement that our future games will all be Division I schools. It will not be FCS schools.
(Excerpt) Read more at jsonline.com ...
OK for a STUPID question, What is "FCS"?
FCS is Football Championship Subdivision and FBS is Football Bowl Subdivision.
Championship Subdivision for the former 1-AA teams (App. State, Murray State), because they play a playoff to decide their championships.
Bowl Subdivision for the former 1-A teams (like Michigan, USC, Florida) because they all play in bowls.
o ok, Thank You!
Barry Alvarez speaks to football fans
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
Well, I look at this from another perspective. Actually those smaller schools that lose 56-0 against bigger schools benefit from the television money that otherwise their schools would not see.
They need to drop Purdue, Illinoise, and Indiana. They are about as good as an FCS school too.
Appalachian State 34 Michigan 31
"North Dakota State is the reigning champion."
Two years in a row I might add. The Bison could beat anyone in the Big 10. They have a very impressive record since moving up to the FCS. They were not even eligible for the playoffs for a few seasons. I think the Big 10 coaches are scared. Look what Appalachia State did to mighty Michigan in Rich Rods first season.
Basketball is different.
The Big Ten deals with this by looking at flight times ~ and 'balance' ~ they want the big basketball schools and some big football schools ~ but they can't get everything!
That's cause they're scared to play Appalachian State again.
Ohhh...so that's why there's is talk about Indiana and WKU renewing their home and home contract.
California Bears 63, Presbyterian Blue Hose 12 (Sept. 17, 2011).
Wisconsin Badgers 70, Austin Peay Governors 3 (Sept. 25, 2010).
Sheesh, what's your point? Really takes courage to be a front runner, takes a total lack of a sense of humor to misread my point, and a total lack of knowledge to put Cal and Bama in the Big Ten.
Bad day?
however, its pretty ridiculous that some big schools play several of these smaller schools just to get it in the win column.
Bcs is weird. It's better to lose to a top ranked team (like 'bama) than crush an unranked opponent.
Notre Dame?
You mean those guys who forgot to go the national championship game?
I remember No. Dakota St went to Minnesota and beat the Gophers a few years ago. What was even more interesting was that NDSU had more fans in the Metrodome than Minny did.
The B1G has had some FCS failures ....of course Appalachian State beating 5th ranked Michigan.....it was my nieces first FB game attended as an App student, too
That said, the money received by 1AA schools for games against 1A schools is a significant portion of their athletic revenue for that year. It is also the only opportunity for 1AA players to play on the big stage.
Actually, Appalachian State beat Michigan in Lloyd Carr's last season. Rich Rod came the season after that.
But that was the rare case of David beating Goliath. The lopsided victories by powerhouse teams over ricky-dink teams are much more typical.
Having attended a Big Ten university, I am well aware that Cal and Bama are not members of that conference and I was not paying attention to the original focus of the story as being about the Big Ten. I started just to post the Wisconsin score but decided to add a couple of other very lopsided scores. At least with Austin Peay and Western Carolina, you have medium-sized public universities (around 10,000 students) but with Presbyterian College you have a little private college with not much more than 1,000 students--how its team is supposed to take on a major team which had won the Rose Bowl a mere 71 years earlier?
Appalachian State is somewhat larger than APSU or WCU at about 17,000 students but I don't know if its athletic program is any better-funded than theirs.
David doesn't play Goliath to beat Goliath - they play them to get exposure and money - so that they can be a little bit bigger David than they were before.
This may not last long.
FBS universities, even the smaller ones, are becoming very resistant to signing contracts for away-only games. And the bigger schools would take quite a hit by losing a home game if they schedule more home-and-away series (for instance, Michigan's stadium holds over 100,000 people; that's a lot of attendance money).
It will be interesting to see how it works out.
Most experts agree that the football stadium is just someplace to hangout until Assembly Hall is open to the public.

Governor(?) Walker
Does he care about Wisconsin?
I don't know how much harder this editorial board can try to give Governor Walker the benefit of the doubt. Back a couple of years ago; when the Governor would actually talk to our board, we were of a mind that despite our policy differences with him, he cared more for Wisconsin that his national political reputation. We're beginning to have second-thoughts
Again, the Governor won't meet with us so we can't ask him what he's thinking. But last week Florida Governor Rick Scott became the 7th Republican governor to support taking advantage of President Obama's voluntary Medicaid expansion. The Florida Governor followed the path of Arizona Governor Brewer and Ohio Governor Kasich, all Republicans who acceded to the financial benefit for their states joining the federal program. Their ideology is not unlike that of Governor Walker. They made the hard choice to agree the federal option was the best despite their view that most matters are handled better at the state level. That didn't happen here on a very important issue which probably will cost the state millions of dollars.
So, we're beginning to ask: Is Governor Walker working on behalf of Wisconsin and its citizens or is he acting like a Governor whose focus now has moved to the national stage?

Nextwave designs and builds small format automation application systems for businesses that need high quality technology that will grow as they grow. A Machine for every need from 12" x 13" to 25"x50". Next Wave CNCs feature a convenient touchscreen interface on every machine.
Add laser engraving and 3D printing capability to any CNC Shark.
NextWave offers online forums, blogs and groups for owners of NextWave machines.
Engineered from the ground up like a large machine, yet it still fits comfortably in your shop.
Accuracy, repeatability and speed are the result of integrating only the finest quality components.
No complex software required. The powerful hand-held controller is intuitive and easy to use.
The CarveWright utilizes a patented feed through system. Much like a desktop printer, it feeds the material through the machine, so even with the small footprint of this machine, you can produce very large projects.
The ServoSmart™ controller is the most advanced CNC controller ever seen in an affordable CNC system. Five feedback sensors and automated setup give the CarveWright an undeniable edge. This intelligent feedback allows it to maintain accurate positioning and report problems instead of crashing.
With the intelligent servo system, we are able to move much faster than any stepper motor system. This means faster project production time. Up to four times faster than any stepper CNC and for remarkably lower cost.
CarveWright's staff of technicians are on duty to resolve any issues you have. The CarveWright user's forum is also available with a wealth of knowledge and fellow users eager to lend a hand.
The purchase of a CNC machine is no small investment, and the variety of available options can befuddle just about anyone who's not an expert. To help you narrow your options and hone in on the right CNC machine for your shop, we've identified five variables you should consider:
1. Duty cycle: Do you plan to use the machine for occasional hobby projects or for more sustained production purposes?
2. Capacity: How big do you anticipate these projects will be? For example, do you expect to make large outdoor signs or small wall plaques? While software allows smaller machines to work on larger projects in "tiles," a machine with a larger "working envelope" might be worth it because of the setup time and effort it will save you.
3. Durability: Is the machine robust enough to maintain its accuracy over time? For how long? Lighter-duty machines often do not hold their tolerances as well as more rigidly built machines.
4. Power: What type of motor or spindle will the machine have (or require), and what's the horsepower capability? Power determines speed and quality of the cut. Some CNC machines are designed to fit a compact router motor; some can accommodate larger router motors; some come with water-cooled spindles; and some have spindles that use other liquid coolants. In general, spindles make less noise and are built specifically to run for extended periods of time. So a more serious user probably will want a liquid-cooled spindle, while a casual user might be happy with a router motor or water-cooled spindle.
5. Value: Are all of the important components included in the price, or are they considered add-ons that must be purchased in addition to the machine? Some machines include such items as design software and a touch plate or puck for easy setup, while others sell every item as an accessory. Additionally, some require the user to have a computer attached to the CNC machine at all times, while others have a handheld controller onto which files can be loaded via a USB port.
If you have any questions, associates at your nearest Rockler Retail Store would be happy to talk with you, or you can call our Technical Services department at 800-260-9663 (7 a.m.-6 p.m. M-F).

Logging, Metrics & Distributed Tracing – These are Problems, not Solutions!
To achieve a real understanding of software for the purpose of managing and changing we need a deeper level of observation that is as close as possible to what it is software actually does. Software does not log. Developers write logs calls to create an echo chamber.

Clients are offered expertise in the performance tuning, monitoring and management of JVM runtimes executing Java, Scala, Clojure, JavaScript (Nashorn/Rhino) and Ruby (JRuby) developed applications, with particular experience in scaling and optimizing high frequency low latency request processing systems.
Using self-adaptive instrumentation and measurement tooling, performance and scalability problem identification is all but guaranteed. Within a matter of minutes, measuring a representative workload, various potential bottlenecks and optimization calls sites will be accurately identified.
Efficient data collection coupled with unique software execution visualizations ensures that all parties involved in a performance investigation will gain an unprecedented insight into the execution nature and resource consumption patterns of applications and more importantly, a high degree of confidence in report findings.
Through distributed software recording and simulated playback the time spent in performance measuring an application under observation and analysis is greatly reduced. This allows much of the investigative work to be moved outside of business critical operating windows.
The software execution model is focused on the algorithmic and resource consumption behavior of a particular processing pattern such as a transaction, service request or workflow.
Imagine you need to drive across town from location A to B. You use a navigation system to plan the steps and to estimate the expected time of arrival.
Different navigation systems (algorithms) and options (context) will likely result in a different route plan.
The navigation system creates a basic route plan and calculates the time for each leg based on the distance and allowed speed. But it naively assumes that no other driver is on the road and sharing the same time and space. It also is unaware of possible roadworks and accidents that will result in a delay or detour.
The system execution model looks at the impact of sharing resources across concurrent and competing processing call flows. What are the utilization levels? How is resource consumption policed? What additional costs and penalties are incurred in the co-ordination of sharing? Is the policy fair? What variations in performance is introduced due to contention? Is prolonged resource starvation possible?
Naturally when we do drive and encounter obstacles or delays we change course. More importantly this information is retained and used to train future behaviors and predictions.
The software adaptation model looks at what degree of self and situational awareness does software hold, create and manage. Can changes in the environment and variation in the performance be sensed? Can the software reason about what is sensed and alter its behavior accordingly? Can the software reason about the effectiveness of its reactions and reinforce good behavioral patterns and adaptations?
Traffic and transportation management is crucially important for a city, especially as many suffer from traffic congestion. In our drive through the city we encounter many methods to control traffic flow in order to globally minimize delay or prioritize particular traffic types. These include signaled junctions, roundabouts, bus and car poll lanes, metering ramps, traffic flow signage, etc.
The system dynamics model looks at the nature of processing (flows) and how adaptive policies around resources (stocks) can be used to influence the processing behavior in order to optimize throughput or response, increase resilience (to surges) as well as to improve stability in performance.
In projecting software execution behavior and contextual state across space and time, software engineers have the capability to develop new and augmented systems that bridge the past, present and future, allowing software machines to transcend structures formed in the early stages of design and over the course of extemporaneous reactive change.
Your software has memory but no memories. What if software could recall past memories for the purpose of learning? What if we could observe machine memories to more effectively reason about complex software execution behavior? Post-execution simulated playback is done without access to the application bytecode (or source code)
To fight current levels of complexity in IT systems we must look to imbue software with the ability to sense, perceive, reason and act locally with immediacy. Software must adapt not simply react. Feedback signals need to flow freely across machine boundaries as well as man-and-machine interfaces.
"They [autoletics] are more autonomous and independent because they cannot be as easily manipulated with threats or rewards from the outside. At the same time, they are more involved with everything around them because they are fully immersed in the current of life."

RIT hockey, from the Perinton perspective
As an RIT grad, I think that it's pretty cool that the RIT hockey team won a berth in the "frozen four", i.e., the NCAA's division 1 tournament for the top four teams. That will take place starting April 8 in Detroit.
But, many of us across the region know that RIT isn't really known as an athletics powerhouse. The reason I can afford to sit on my butt in front of my 46″ screen in Perinton, and pay Time Warner to receive the broadcast tier that includes ESPNU, which showed the most recent game over the weekend, is that I'm gainfully employed in the field that RIT trained me for, so many years ago.
Congrats to the team and to all you rat-racing, taxpaying, techno-nerding RIT grads.

I dunno what White/Cheren is yet, but how about:
MessyRoomShipping - might be unspecific since battling both Bel and Cheren messes up the PC's room
BelarusianShipping - female PC is called White by fans; Cheren's name comes from the Russian word for black; the country Belarus gets its name from Belorussia or White Russia. Considering that, this could actually be Cheren/Bel instead since the word is Belarus...
EasternBlocShipping - failing BelarusianShipping... Cheren comes from the Russian word for black, but Black is already a name given to the male PC. Russia was an Eastern Bloc country. I was about to go for pun with EasternBlackShipping, too.
CheckmateShipping - this sounded too cool to not be used for something regarding BW. Mate = friend, checkmate relates to chess, black and white pieces, etc.
Well, I tried.

AddersCircular Adders
On some adders, numbers were represented along an arc of a circle. People used their fingers or a stylus to enter numbers. On a few of these instruments, a mechanism allowed one to carry a single digit. These objects are described here as adders with carry. They blur the line between adders and adding machines.
"Adders - Circular Adders" showing 1 items.
C.W. Hergenroeder Adding Machine
- Description
- This U.S. Patent Office model for an adder has a wooden frame with a round brass top and mechanism. A toothed disc under the top has the digits from 0 to 99 indicated on it in ink. The 99 complement also is indicated, for use in subtraction. To the right of the disc is a series of pins labeled from 1 to 10. An arm extending from the right side of the disc fits between the pins. Pulling the arm forward advances the disc by the amount indicated on the scale. When the disc has advanced a full rotation, it advances a smaller, vertically mounted disc on the left side by one unit. Complementary units are also indicated on the edge of this disc. The device also has a set of nine wooden digit wheels, with paper around the edge, at the front. These are intended for keeping track of numbers used in calculations.
- According to the 1900 U.S. Census, Christian W. Hergenroeder was then 36 years old and living in Baltimore. He was born in Germany of German parents, immigrated to the United States in 1882, and was a naturalized citizen. His wife, Sofia, was born August of 1866, also in Germany of German parents, and came to the United States in 1891. She apparently was not naturalized. Their son, Christian Jr., was born November of 1895. Both parents could read, write, and speak English. Christian's occupation was given as laborer. The family lived in a rented house. Hergenroeder was not found in 1880, 1910, 1920 or 1930 U.S. Census records.
- Another patent was granted to Christian W. Hergenroeder of Baltimore, for an improvement in music leaf turners. He applied for this patent on January 5, 1882, and was granted it on October 10, 1882 (#265602).

PRINCE Tour XC 16L Tennis String Yellow
List Price: $12.00 Sale Price:
Our staff has not reviewed this product yet.
Specially designed for use in Prince's new ESP line of racquets, the Prince Tour XC 16L Tennis String Yellow polyester provides maximum control while also possessing incredible durability. The monofilament construction of this string results in excellent durability and power. The highlight of Prince Tour XC 16L is its high molecular weight outer coating. This coating creates an incredibly low friction surface, resulting in increased levels of control and spin. A low level of friction ensures that the strings are free to against each other, resulting in a high level of spin potential. The increased spin potential allows for more margin and greater control over shots. The 16L gauge is thicker than the 17 gauge version, which means it will be slightly more durable while offering slightly less spin and playability. Prince Tour XC 16L is a quality choice for players seeking a highly durable, control focused string that still provides ample power and spin.
Composition: Monofilament Polyester
Color: Yellow
Gauge: 1.27mm
Length: 40'

User: John Domingue, LA
This is the second set of strings on my Prince Warrior 100L. I stepped down from the 15s that came with it to these 16s. I also tightened up the tension. I like the feel so far and they have a good ability to return to position since this Prince ESP technology allows for a lot of string movement on the 16x14 pattern. I will continue to try this string in a couple of more configurations.

Medical Parasitology & Infection Biology
The Department of Medical Parasitology / Infection Biology performs research on host-parasite interactions from the molecular and cellular to the population level. We aim to contribute to infectious diseases control by contributing to the understanding of infection processes and by developing new vaccines, improving diagnostics and screening for new drugs. Laboratory research is complemented with field work in close collaboration with colleagues in disease endemic countries. Our main research focus is on malaria, African trypanosomiasis, Buruli ulcer and bacterial meningitis.
Linking molecular biological and immunological approaches to epidemiological studies enables us to explore pathogenesis, virulence mechanisms, host immunity and transmission in detail. By genotyping pathogens, we analyse the dynamics of infection and transmission and generate data on multiplicity of infection and immune evasion. This allows us to measure the effects of interventions such as vaccination or drug treatment.
In vaccinology we evaluate new candidate antigens and new antigen delivery systems and develop new approaches for rational vaccine design by applying strategies that use iterative cycles of optimization.
In parasite chemotherapy our work is focussed on drug discovery and development for parasitic diseases, mainly malaria, human African trypanosomiasis, and helminthiasis.

Customer Feedback
Comments: Rod its beautiful until it breaks. I sent it back to shimano along with a cumara rod & it is a joke. They will not honor the warranty. Stay away from this company. They will only give you the option to buy the same rod at a discount price, of about 20 to 30 dollars off the regular price. I own 7 shimano rods & will never go back to this stupid company..
From: Rick: USA 8/1/16
Comments: Freaking awesome rod. 7' MH for cranking almost everything. Super light and fits in my hand comfortably. I can litterally crank all day with this rod and not get any hand fatigue.
From: Adam: Sun Prairie, WI 4/21/14
Comments: caveman voice: ME LIKE! GOOD ROD! Totally worth the money, which isn't much for a sick rod like this. I'm with Kook Keith, I have some Loomis CB rods which I freakin LOVE, but this turkey hangs right with em. For less cash.
From: meatwad
Comments: I have this rod in 7'6'' MH and it is a beast. I paired it w/ a Curado 201E7. The combo of these 2 makes a suprisinly multi-taskable rig. I've been pitching w/ it and works really well in the area. I've put on some lighter weight cranks and can still get some incredible distance out of it. Obviously when you pair it w/ a Koppers Live Target Yellow Perch... max distance and annihilation! It has a great backbone and the tip is pretty sensitive. It is built very well. It's winter here so it's hard to get bass w/ out a boat but I've been hammering some nice sized Brown Trout w/ no effort thanks to this awesome rod. You won't be sorry if you get the Compre!
From: Ryan: Seattle, WA
Comments: 100% legit crankin rod. I have three Loomis CBRs and this one is right there with them. Go and check the price diff. I will wait...done? Now you know which one you want, right? I scooped up the 6'8"M for small cranks, rippers and topwaters and it is flawless. Pretty light, too. Slap a Smoke in the 100 size on there and you are fresh to death.
From: Cool Keith: Coolington
Comments: I have the 7' M paired with a Citica 201 and it is awesome! It's the best cranking rod I've owned. I definitely plan on buying the 7' MH and 7'6" MH soon.

Posted by Reviewer1364606 on May 18, 2012
This is so good! LOVE the fact that it's got two small pieces in each, that it's got fiber in it, low cal, NOT maltitol (which messes up my stomach) and only 1 gr carb in each. It's a win win in my book. I'll buy these again and again!
better have strong teeth
Posted by Reviewer1306818 on May 13, 2011
I ordered these based on the picture on the box looking all oozy and gooey. Was that ever a FALSE picture. They are hard and small and require good teeth to chew on. You are rewarded with a good tasting caramel finally though.
love them !!!!
Posted by Reviewer1138275 on Feb 15, 2012
These are amazing, they keep me from going off diet and reaching for a regular candy bar when I have that chocolate urge !!
Better than turtles!
Posted by 5622121350042817723 on Jun 28, 2012
Chocolate is soft and caramel is creamy, you'd never know there wasn't sugar in them.
Posted by 4905512002673838258 on Nov 05, 2015
I always need a bit of chocolate to perk me up in the afternoon- the pecans and caramel really make it feel like a guilty indulgence and only at 30 calories per piece, one feels quite satisfied!
Excellent Product - Excellent Service

Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down
Brodkorb settlement
THUMBS UP: It is good to learn that the wrongful termination lawsuit former Minnesota Senate staffer Michael Brodkorb brought against the Senate has been settled, and at the bargain price of $30,000, which is the amount the Senate had offered him in a severance deal back in 2011. Brodkorb had been asking for more than $500,000.
The Senate still has to pay legal costs of $320,000 that have accumulated as the case was contested and investigated.
Brodkorb had been fired in December 2011 after his affair with then Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch had come to the attention of the Senate Republican leaders. He claimed he was treated more harshly than other staffers who had affairs with legislators.
We're not sure why Brodkorb settled for so little, but we're glad this episode is over.
Day of Play
THUMBS UP: There won't be anyone as important as the U.S. Surgeon General at the New Ulm Community Day of Play today, but that's OK. It leaves more time for playing.
Surgeon General Regina Benjamin was the keynote speaker at the first Day of Play, held last year at Martin Luther College. The event encourages kids of all sizes to get out and play, introducing them to a variety of different activities.
This year's event is being held at the New Ulm Civic Center, due to the threat of rain today. We hope the arena is filled from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with happy kids.
Comfortable seating
THUMBS UP: There will be new reason to arrive early to events at the District 88 DAC?Auditorium once 250 padded, comfortable theater seats are installed.
The seats didn't cost the district anything. They were donated through the New Ulm Actors Community Theater for the cost of shipping.
It's a nice upgrade for the auditorium. Thanks to NUACT for the arrangements.

Be wise with your golf clubmaking epoxy habits and save time and money
While your clubmaking operation may be in full gear at this time of the year, one thing you want to check on is your golf clubmaking epoxy. Believe it or not, you are relying on its' strength to form a long-lasting bond between any club you build or repair for your customers. But when was the last time you checked how old it is and whether it is still effective?
Most clubmakers will assume that epoxy for golf clubmaking is good as long as there is some left in the bottles. But that is not entirely true. Many epoxies have shelf lives just like milk, bread or that spinach that is starting to wilt in your refrigerator. After a year, they start to lose their strength. After two years, I wouldn't use it for anything golf club related.
Mark Your Bottles
No matter how organized your shop may be, I doubt you will know immediately when you last purchased it by looking through old invoices. When you receive a package with your epoxy, the first thing you should do is take your Sharpie pen and mark the date it arrived on the bottle or container and it will always be there in plain sight. If you have the small one-job packets, don't worry, these have an indefinite shelf life.
Buy in quantities you will consume
If you buy golf clubmaking epoxy in bulk (or in larger containers), you can save money per ounce or per club you build. However, if it goes to waste by going past its effective date and you have to throw it out, you really haven't saved money have you? I guess you can still use it for small household fixes, but the point I am trying to make is buy enough to last you a full year.
By following these simple tips, you can rest assured that the clubs you assemble or repair for your customers (or yourself) is one less of life's worries.

Originally, a wooden fortress constructed in the 9th century by Prince Bořivoj, subsequent rulers have left their marks transforming the castle into the impressive sight it is today. Also within the castle walls is the breathtaking St. Vitus Cathedral.

Intel Corp. this week announced that it had started production of its code-named Arrandale and Clarkdale processors using 32nm process technology. The new chips, which are based on the new Westmere micro-architecture, are the first central processing units in the world made using 32nm fabrication process and also the first microprocessors for desktops and laptops with integrated graphics core.
"Intel's 32nm process is certified and Westmere CPU wafers are moving through the factory in support of planned Q4 revenue production," a statement by Intel reads.
At present Intel plans to unveil its Arrandale and Clarkdale processors sometimes between the 2nd of January and the 6th of February, 2010, according to sources with knowledge of the matter. Considering the fact that Intel's chief executive officer Paul Otellini will hold a keynote at the opening of the Consumer Electronics Show, it is highly likely that Intel will disclose details regarding its chips that feature integrated graphics cores, whereas its partners will demonstrate actual products powered by such chips at the show.
Intel Clarkdale are dual-core microprocessors based on Westmere micro-architecture with 4MB of cache, Hyper-Threading, dual-channel DDR3 memory controllers and integrated graphics cores. Arrandale are similar chips aimed at mobile computers. Both Arrandale and Clarkdale are essentially multi-chip modules featuring one dual-core processor made using 32nm fabrication process and graphics and other system logic core produced at 45nm node.
The desktop-oriented Clarkdale chips, which will be sold under Core i5, Core i3 and Pentium brands, will work at up to 3.46GHz, will sport Hyper-Threading technology and will consume just about 73W, with the exception of Core i5 661, which will feature 900MHz graphics core and 87W thermal envelope. The chips will be compatible with LGA1156 infrastructure.
Consumer Electronics Show will take place in Las Vegas, Nevada, from the 7th to the 10th of January, 2010.

Food for ThoughtPre-finals breakfast is just what the mind needs
The traditional late night country-style breakfast was served up once again by the York College administration, faculty, and staff as students prepared for their semester finals. Students took a break from the books around 10:00 Sunday evening to replenish their energy supply.
Students had a broad menu to choose from: biscuits & gravy, scrambled eggs, pancakes, sausage links, hash browns, cereal, fruit, etc. It was a lighthearted evening and just what students and volunteers needed to begin the week.
Friends, food, and fellowship... what could be better to take your mind off the pressures for a while?
