It never fails after I upload a YouTube video on a particular topic I always think of other points that I wanted to make. Such is the case with today's submission on tag team wrestling.
Until very recently I was hopeful for the tag team division in the WWE. Just a few short months ago there was a tag team tournament with eight teams to determine who would face the tag team champions.
Hell No vs. Rhodes ScholarsCourtesy: WWE
I'm disappointed Team Rhodes Scholars has disbanded. This team had a ton of potential and honestly I was shocked they didn't beat Team Hell No at the Royal Rumble. They held a couple of non-title victories over the champs (I think that's accurate) so to see them be taken out of the scene seems a little silly. Besides Hell No, I think Rhodes Scholars was the top team in the WWE.
It seems Hell No is heading for a breakup soon too. It would make sense from a storyline standpoint, although I hate when teams are constantly being split up. For the time being though, Daniel Bryan and Kane ARE the tag team champions, so I'm really not happy about the fact that Bryan is in the Elimination Chamber match to determine a number one contender to the World Heavyweight title.
The Prime Time PlayersPhoto courtesy: WWE
The Prime Time Players had a lot of potential early on too. But I think after Abraham Washington's departure from the company a lot of the wind was taken out of their sails. Seriously, this duo needs a good manager to help them refocus. The Usos never seemed to catch a break, although I enjoy their work too. Primo and Epico have been jobbers lately not only to other teams, but to singles guys like the Great Khali and Ryback.
Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara are both back, so let's see if they stick it out. If I was a betting man several months ago I would have put my money on a Mysterio-Cara match at Wrestlemania. Now I'd say there's a better chance of a Bryan-Kane match that night.
Unfortunately Tyson Kidd is hurt so his partnership with Justin Gabriel is on the sidelines. They split up Kofi Kingston and RTruth so the stars could pursue singles careers. It worked for Kofi briefly, but now that he's without the Intercontinental title, we've seen very little of him. Then there's Zack Ryder and Santino. Need I say more?
Oliver Gray & Adrian NevillePhoto courtesy: WWE
On the horizon there have been hints of a Tensai-Brodus Clay tag team. I'm not sure I love the idea, but again, it's just the online buzz, so I'm not buying into it just yet. Of course on NXT the new tag team champions Adrian Neville and Oliver Gray. Regular readers now I'm high on Neville and can't wait to see him on the main roster. Perhaps it may be as a tag team wrestler in the not-so-distant future.
Only time will tell how the tag team situation shakes out, but I think others would agree there are a lot of issues with the current state of affairs.

Animals move with economy and speed. Most animals are also robustly maneuverable and stable. Studies of terrestrial legged locomotion in running avian bipeds and mammalian quadrupeds reveal neuromuscular and biomechanical capabilities for stability and economy of movement. Mechanical properties of muscles, as actuators, provide intrinsic stabilization in addition to effective power generation. Perturbation studies of running animals indicate that passive-dynamics likely underlie stabilization, supplemented by neuromuscular feedback control. Passive mechanisms enable a rapid stabilization response until slower neural feedback mechanisms can be implemented. Studies of quadrupedal animals show how center of mass moments are low during trotting and controlled during galloping, influencing the design of quadrupedal robots, such as BigDogTM. Recent work on bird flight through artificial forests also shows how birds successfully navigate cluttered aerial environments. Studies of 3D maneuvering, obstacle avoidance and flight path trajectory selection, in relation to head/eye vision sensing, are helping to guide models for guidance control of UAVs that must navigate cluttered environments.

I am starting to think I should tell y'all my goals for the week more often. I didn't want to go through the embarrassment of not accomplishing my goals, so I actually got started on my tray project yesterday. If you missed Monday's post, click here :)
I followed a tutorial that I found through pinterest, which you can find here!
A few facts:
1) I get VERY SCARED to do ANYTHING DIY...Don't ask why. Maybe it's because I haven't attempted a whole lot of things without a partner in crime? Or maybe it's because I feel like my stuff always looks homemade and dorky? I am not sure.....but I have this going against me :(
2) I am deathly afraid of Mod Podge. In fact, I didn't even know what Mod Podge was until a few months back from always reading Tonya's blog....oops :)
3) I used an old tray that Josh bought prior to us dating. Honestly, I was kinda tired of looking at this dark, "bachelor-pad" tray. Plus, I was happy that I had a one already and didn't have to go buy one. Also, if I messed it up, I knew it wasn't going to be a biggie, because this tray was old and I never really liked it much anyway!
4) I used Mod Podge Gloss.
5) I bought my fabric at Jo-Ann Fabrics for $3.99.
6) I watched 4 tutorials before getting the nerve to try it myself!
I'll spare you my own tutorial, because the link I shared with you, from Maggie's blog pretty much explains it all :)
|Getting antsy waiting for the tray to dry!!!
|This wasn't really an after shot...this was more of a "waiting for my project to dry" shot!
Last, but most certainly not least, I want to invite you to a Foodie Friday link-up party THIS Friday over at Magan's blog, A Touch of Class :) Magan is one of my dear friends from high school, and she is a lover of her husband, her pup, fashion, travel, and food! With that said, join me this Friday as she hosts a link-up party for your favorite recipes! I'm deciding what to share :)

Right to Repair Coalition
Today's modern vehicles are very complex machines. Computers and electronics control nearly every vehicle function from safety and emissions to ignition keys. Although these computers provide many benefits to motorists through improved fuel efficiency, comfort and safety, they also provide increasing opportunities for car companies to lock out access by car owners and the independent repair shops where they choose to obtain service for their vehicles.
The need for Right to Repair legislation has become a necessity in order to protect the rights of car owners to decide where and how they have their vehicles serviced, whether at a new car dealer or an independent service facility. Right to Repair ensures that the person who bought the car and not the car company, can decide where that vehicle is repaired and maintained.
You can help pass the Right to Repair Act!

Implications for practice and research
National screening recommendations are needed for loneliness.
Assessments for loneliness should be a component of primary care for older adults.
Interventions focused on the poorly adapted cognitive processes associated with loneliness warrant further study.
Prevalence rates of loneliness have been reported to be as high as 17% in samples of older adults in the USA.1 Historically, scientists viewed loneliness as a social phenomenon. Recently, loneliness has been reconceptualised as a biopsychosocial stressor that contributes …

USA Men advance to final four
USA Men advance to final four with 3-2 win over Samoa at World Championships
Christchurch, N.Z.—The U.S. moves on at the 2004 Men's Softball World Championships after defeating Samoa 3-2 in an elimination game today in Christchurch. It is now one of final four teams remaining in the tournament and needs one more win to move into the medal round on Sunday.
"These guys know that if we intend reach our goals we have to win every game," said head coach Peter Turner. "It took us a while to put the runs on the board in this one but the guys got it done."
After leaving four runners stranded in the first four innings, the U.S. offense finally pushed a two runs across in the fifth inning. Todd Garcia (Woodbridge, CA) led off the inning with a walk and moved to third on a single by Steve Schott (Kelso, MO).
With runners on the corners and Adam LaLonde (Cheboygan, MI) pinch-running for Schott, Chris Miljavac (St. Joseph, MO) grounded out to first base allowing Garcia to score. An error by the Samoan shortstop Gene Lutton on a grounder by Ross Dey (Sedalia, MO) allowed LaLonde to score and push the lead to 2-0.
The Samoan's responded in top of the sixth inning with two runs to knot the game at 2-2. Jeremy Stanley led off with a double and scored on a double by Wayne Laulu. With two outs pinch-hitter Michael Fenton singled to left to tie the game.
In the bottom of the inning the U.S. regained the lead for good after Todd Schultz (Williamston, MI) singled to center field, stolen second and scored on a single by Joe Morales (El Paso, TX).
With the win the USA advances to the final four and keeps its hopes alive for its sixth World Championship gold medal. It will now face Australia at 12:30 a.m. on Saturday, February 7.

"There are countries around the world that are simply waiting for the U.S. to lead in these issues."Kyoto I think is certainly the case. It's incumbent upon the Obama administration not simply to get behind this, but actually to take a leadership role. And one of the ways of doing that is to further the negotiations. Another way is implementing some climate policy at home.
"This international game of chicken and lack of leadership out of Washington has cost us eight years."not anticipate 10 percent growth a year and the rapid exploitation of the coal resources that they have. Those are the sorts of social economic surprises that we have to plan for as well. They're climate surprises but they're social-economic ones. It amplifies the importance of the problem. It amplifies the importance of getting China to participate [in any solution]. But I think that there are people in China who are recognizing their contribution to the problem and the risks that they're facing. They have serious local pollution problems that they can see co-benefits for addressing.

EAB or Native Borer? New Publication Shows the Difference
Submitted by dianned on Tue, 06/17/2014 - 16:20
AMES, Iowa — The Emerald Ash Borer is an insect that, in a matter of time, will destroy all ash trees. Because the bug has begun making its way across Iowa, an Iowa State University Extension and Outreach entomologist, in collaboration with an Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship entomologist, has written a new publication to help Iowans identify signs of the pest under the bark.
"EAB or Native Borer?" by Mark Shour and Todd Voss offers a side-by-side comparison of the Emerald Ash Borer and several Native Borers, which only attack declining or dying ash trees. The exotic Emerald Ash Borer, in contract, kills healthy and declining ash trees. The publication (PM3065) is available for free download from the ISU Extension and Outreach Online Store, http://store.extension.iastate.edu/.
The Emerald Ash Borer is considered to be one of the most destructive tree pests ever seen in North America. Infestations have been confirmed in nine Iowa counties, and the insect was recently detected in a tenth county. Since February 2014, a statewide quarantine has restricted the movement of hardwood firewood, ash logs, wood chips, and ash tree nursery stock out of Iowa into non-quarantined areas of other states to help slow the spread of EAB.
Shour and Voss are members of the state EAB Team that work on the issue.
"The idea to write 'EAB or Native Borer' came from Voss' conversations in the field," said Shour. "Many people are looking under the bark of their ash trees, trying to discern whether or not the tunnels and trails they are seeing are from Native Borers or the exotic insect pest."
This publication is a way to help people to quickly identify Native Borer activity compared to that of the EAB. It focuses on the type of feeding tunnels created, what the larva looks like and the shapes of the exit holes. The publication gives short, descriptive characteristics and clear, easy-to-recognize colored photos of each insect.
Please contact Iowa EAB Team members to have suspicious looking trees checked. The state of Iowa will continue to track the movement of EAB on a county-by-county basis for the remaining 89 counties not currently known to have an EAB infestation.
To learn more about EAB and other pests that are threatening Iowa's tree population, please visit:

Consulting a physician regularly is an important part of a healthier lifestyle. Together, you and your physician can determine the best plan to keep you fit and able to enjoy the times of your life.
Surprisingly, many people do not have a regular doctor whom they can turn to in case of illness or injury. In a serious emergency, they often have no choice of whom will provide care or what treatment will be administered.
We at The Chester County Hospital encourage you to take the time to choose a physician before emergency situations arise. A regular primary care physician or specialist knows your medical history and can provide special insights into your treatment.

Just to clarify, the mic capsule is 3mm from the top. The mic housing adheres directly to the top.

Thank you Caleb,
That was my understanding, I just needed to confirm that the ends of the bracing bars do not muffle the sound picked up by the mic.
Thanks Caleb,
I have concerns about accurately placing the various parts and the cable clips through the soundhole of an already built guitar, so I am building a cardboard replica for a dummy run . . . if I have to make special tools I will post details to help other users.
Is it possible to let me know the lengths of the three cables - Preamp to mic, preamp to volume control and preamp to battery clip?

Hi David,
I'm impressed with the care you're taking with this install. It's good to have a plan of action.
Here are the measurements you requested, from the opening in the shielding tube to the part at the end of the wire:
Microphone wire is 9.75"
Volume control wire is 16.5"
Battery wire is 21.5"
Hi Bryan,
Thank you for you prompt reply.
I am an amateur luthier, with several electrics, two archtops, two classical guitars and three ukes built. I have installed under-saddle transducers in two guitars.
Because of the smallness of the soundhole in the classical and the fact that the guitar is finished I will get only one chance with each part that has to be stuck inside the body!
I will hopefully benefit from being able to see through the soundport that I have cut into the upper bout on the bass side.
As I said before, if I think any of the methods I use will be of help to others like myself I will post pictures.
Thanks again,

Python reticulatus
Python reticulatus, also known as the (Asiatic) reticulated python[2] or regal python,[3] is a species of python found in Southeast Asia. Adults can grow to over 28 feet (8.7 m)in length[4] but normally grow to an average of 10-20 feet. They are the world's longest snakes and longest reptile, but are not the most heavily built. Like all pythons, they are non-venomous constrictors and normally not considered dangerous to humans, even though large specimens are powerful enough to kill an adult and attacks are occasionally reported.
An excellent swimmer, it has even been reported far out at sea and has consequently colonized many small islands within its range. The specific name is Latin meaning net-like, or reticulated, and is a reference to the complex color pattern.[5]
Adults can grow to a length of more than 28.5 feet (8.7 m) and are the world's longest snakes.[6][4] However, they are relatively slim for their length and are certainly not the most heavily built.[7] The species Eunectes murinus, the green anaconda, may be larger.[6] The largest individual ever accurately measured was Colossus, kept at the Pittsburgh Zoo during the 1950s, with a peak length of 28.5 feet. Numerous reports have been made of larger snakes, but since none of these have been measured by a scientist nor have the specimens been deposited at a museum, they must be regarded as unproven and probably erroneous. In spite of a standing offer of $50,000 for a live, healthy snake over 30 feet long by the New York Zoological Society, no attempt to claim this reward has ever been made.[4]
The color pattern is a complex geometric pattern that incorporates different colors. The back typically has a series of irregular diamond shapes which are flanked by smaller markings with light centers. In this species' wide range, much variation of size, color, and markings commonly occurs.
In zoo exhibits the color pattern may seem garish, but in a shadowy jungle environment amid fallen leaves and debris it allows them to virtually disappear. Called a disruptive coloration, it protects them from predators and helps them to catch their prey.[6]
Geographic range
Found in Southeast Asia from the Nicobar Islands, Bangladesh, Burma, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia and Singapore, east through Indonesia and the Indo-Australian Archipelago (Sumatra, the Mentawai Islands, the Natuna Islands, Borneo, Sulawesi, Java, Lombok, Sumbawa, Sumba, Flores, Timor, Maluku, Tanimbar Islands) and the Philippines (Basilan, Bohol, Cebu, Leyte, Luzon, Mindanao, Mindoro, Negros, Palawan, Panay, Polillo, Samar, Tawi-Tawi). The original description does not include a type locality. Restricted to "Java" by Brongersma (1972).[1]
Occurs in rain forests, woodland and nearby grassland. It is also associated with rivers and is found in areas with nearby streams and lakes. An excellent swimmer, it has even been reported far out at sea and has consequently colonized many small islands within its range.[6] During the early years of the twentieth century it is said to have been common even in busy parts of Bangkok, sometimes eating domestic animals.[7]
Their natural diet includes mammals and occasionally birds. Small specimens—up to 3–4 meters (10–14 ft) long—eat mainly rodents such as rats, whereas larger individuals switch to prey such as Viverridae (e.g. civets and binturongs), and even primates and pigs. Near human habitation, they are known to snatch stray chickens, cats and dogs on occasion. Among the largest prey items that are actually fully documented to have been taken were a half-starved old female Sun Bear of 23 kilograms that was eaten by a 6.95 m (23 ft) specimen and took some 10 weeks to digest, as well as pigs of more than 60 kg (132 lb). As a rule of thumb, these snakes seem able to swallow prey up to ¼ their own length, and up to their own weight.[8] As with all pythons, they are ambush hunters, waiting until prey wanders within strike range before seizing it in their coils and killing via constriction.
Danger to humans
Attacks on humans are rare, but this species has been responsible for several human fatalities, in both the wild and captivity. They are among the few snakes that have been fairly reliably reported to eat people, although only a few cases of the snake actually eating (rather than just killing a human) appear to be authenticated:
- Two incidents, apparently in early 20th century Indonesia: On Salibabu, a 14-year-old boy was killed and supposedly eaten by a specimen 5.17 m (c.17 ft) in length. Another incident involved an adult woman reputedly eaten by a "large reticulated python", but few details are known.[9]
- Franz Werner reports[4] a case from Burma (or Myanmar) either occurring in the early 1910s or in 1927. A jeweller named Maung Chit Chine, who went hunting with his friends, was apparently eaten by a 6m (20 ft.) specimen after he sought shelter from a rainstorm on or under a tree. Supposedly, he was swallowed feet first, contrary to normal snake behavior but the easiest way for a snake to actually swallow a human.[10]
- In 1932, Frank Buck wrote about a teenage boy who was eaten by a pet 25ft. reticulated python in the Philippines. According to Buck, the python had escaped and when it was found they could recognize a human child shape inside the snake, which later turned out to be the son of the snake's owner.[4]
- According to Mark Auliya, the corpse of 32-year-old Mangyan, Lantod Gumiliu, was recovered from the belly of a 7m (c.23 ft.) reticulated python on Mindoro, probably in January, 1998.[8]
- On October 23, 2008 a 25-year old Virginia Beach woman, Amanda Ruth Black, appeared to have been killed by a 13-foot pet reticulated python. The apparent cause of death was asphyxiation. The snake was later found in the bedroom in an agitated state.[11]
- On January 21, 2009 a 3-year old Las Vegas boy was wrapped by an 18-foot pet reticulated python, turning blue. The boy's mother, who had been babysitting the python on behalf of a friend, rescued the toddler by gashing the python with a knife. The snake was killed by animal control officers.[12]
Considering the known maximum prey size, it is technically possible for a full-grown specimen to open its jaws wide enough to swallow a human child, teenager, or even a small adult, although the flaring shoulders of Homo sapiens would pose a problem. The victim would almost certainly be dead by the time the snake started swallowing. At least in the 1998 incident, the victim was gathering food or wood in the forest when he happened upon the snake. In any case, it is unlikely that any but the largest specimens are able to kill, let alone eat, an adult human, except if the victim is caught unaware.[8]
Oviparous, females lay between 15 and 80 eggs per clutch. At an optimum incubation temperature of 31–32°C (88–90 °F), the eggs take an average of 88 days to hatch.[13] Hatchlings are at least 2 feet (61 cm) in length.[7]
Increased popularity in the pet trade is due largely to increased efforts in captive breeding and selectively bred mutations such as the "albino" and "tiger" strains. They can make good captives, but keepers should have previous experience with such large constrictors to ensure safety to both animal and keeper. Although their interactivity and beauty draws much attention, some feel they are unpredictable.[14][15] They do not attack humans by nature, but will bite and possibly constrict if they feel threatened, or mistake a hand for food. While not venomous, large pythons can inflict serious injuries, sometimes requiring stitches.
The huge size and attractive pattern of these snakes has made them favorite zoo exhibits, with several individuals claimed to be above 20 feet in length and more than one claimed to be the largest in captivity.[16][17][18][19][20][21] However, due to their huge size, immense strength, aggressive disposition, and the mobility of the skin relative to the body, it is very difficult to get exact length measurements on a living reticulated python, and weights are rarely indicative, as captive pythons are often obese.[4] Claims made by zoos and animal parks are sometimes exaggerated, such as the claimed 49-foot snake in Indonesia which was subsequently proven to be less than 22 feet.[22] For this reason, scientists do not accept the validity of length measurements unless performed on a dead or anaesthetized snake which is later preserved in a museum collection.[4]
Three subspecies may be encountered, including two new ones:
- P. r. reticulatus, Schneider (1801) - Called "retics" in herpetoculture.
- P. r. jampeanus, Auliya et al. (2002) - Kayaudi dwarf reticulated pythons or Jampea retics, about half the length [13]. Found on Tanahjampea in the Selayar Archipelago south of Sulawesi.
- P. r. saputrai, Auliya et al. (2002) - Selayer reticulated pythons or Selayer retics. Found on Selayar Island in the Selayar Archipelago and also adjacent Sulawesi.
The latter two are dwarf subspecies. Apparently, the population of the Sangir Islands north of Sulawesi represents another such subspecies, but it is not yet formally described.[23]
The proposed subspecies dalegibbonsi, euanedwardsi, haydnmacphiei, neilsonnemani, patrickcouperi and stuartbigmorei[24][25] but have not found general acceptance.
A recent phylogenetic study of pythons [26] suggested that the reticulated python as well as the Timor python are more closely related to Australasian pythons than other members of the genus Python, and should therefore be placed in a separate genus, Broghammerus.

The Second Amendment Is Not About Hunting
To The Reader's Forum:
Hunters were not silenced by lack of an organized voice as you depicted in your February 7 editorial. They were silenced by a Governor and opportunistic politicians who violated their own rules to pass flawed legislation after midnight avoiding the customary three day review rule. Representatives had less than one hour to read the 25,000 word document before voting. Organizations representing hunters had no opportunity to be heard.
Your editorial depicts hunters as simple people hunting to put food on the table. If that was the case they would simply buy their food at less cost. Hunting is only a part of the life of hunters. Their main concern, like most New Yorkers, is the safety and welfare of their family. That may be the reason that the NRA is five million members rather than the 80 million gun owners. However, hunters do make up a majority of the membership in the NRA that you depict as extremist.
Is it extremist to want to protect our school children in the same manner as we protect other segments of society? Is it extremist to allow law abiding citizens the same means of self-defense as might be used against them and that police use? Is it extremist to ask our government to obey and enforce existing laws? Is it extremist to provide the primary safety instruction used by hunters, gun owners and law enforcement? What are the "extremist stances taken by the NRA"?
Recent polls show that the NRA is the single most effective organization that will protect our second amendment freedoms. In New York State the NRA has designated the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association (NYSRPA) to be the lead agency in cleaning up this flawed legislation. NYSRPA has filed a claim in the State Supreme Court, against the State, saying that the SAFE Act violates fundamental constitutional rights. Without change the law will consider most commonly used self-defense personal carry pistols illegal as well as arms used by law enforcement. A technicality in the law prevents police from legally entering school grounds if they are carrying a weapon.
The second amendment is not about hunting. It is about our unalienable right to keep and bear arms that shall not be infringed upon. Any New Yorker who cares about that right of self-protection should join NYSRPA today to help rein in extremist politicians.

Black to Caramel Ombré
When it comes to curls and coily hair Teyana Taylor is one "hot tamale" the way her onbré has been done looks amazing the contrast between the black and the caramel color is what really makes this dye-dip stand out. We are use to seeing a transition that is a lot more subtle but not here the change is drastic and flamboyant and works amazing on women with dark skin and dark natural curls! It's almost as if the curls blend in perfectly with her gorgeous complexion. So ladies with kinky curls take a few plays out of the Teyana Taylor fashion playbook.

Big Fluffy Dog Rescue is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to helping giant breed mixed breed dogs in need. We value dogs of all breeds, but we specialize in what the name says: big, fluffy dogs. We have volunteers in several states in the South and New England who work to help homeless big fluffy dogs find a home to call their own. Big Fluffy Dog Rescue works to save Great Pyrenees, Saint Bernards, Newfoundlands and their mixes from euthanasia.
Our dogs come in to rescue for many different reasons. Many were abandoned at high kill shelters in the South. Some were turned in by owners who could not properly care for them and still others are failed livestock guardian dogs. Regardless of their origins, our goal for every dog we have is the same: a safe, happy home where each dog is a well-loved member of the family. Big Fluffy Dog Rescue has its headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee. We have volunteers in several states in the South and across New England.
Big Fluffy Dogs now has a blog (bigfluffydogrescue.blogspot.com), where you can get the full story on our latest rescues and adoptions. Big Fluffy Dogs also has a very active Facebook fan site as well, and we invite you to join us there. (www.facebook.com/pages/CTMEVTNHTNKY/Big-Fluffy-Dog-Rescue/28214716181). Finally, Big Fluffy Dog also has a Picasa album site (picasaweb.google.com/110436127678722938418) where you can preview dogs in rescue that may not yet be listed for adoption and see those that have already gone to their new homes.

Terry Lee Henderson, U.S. Navy
Remembering a friend – close friend Rick Mascaro returned to Westfield's Memorial Park and gave a speech entitled "Bittersweet Heroes." He spoke of Terry Henderson, how he was full of life, full of energy and full of the idealism that so often accompanies youth.
He recalled the horse chestnut fights he and Henderson would get into at the corner of Spring and Academy streets, their old haunts, and how good a shot Henderson was with a horse chestnut! Mascaro told the company gathered how sweet Henderson was, and how wonderful a friend he was to those who were lucky enough to know him. He was loved by his classmates, and though he loved them in return, he also loved his Stratocaster Fender guitar, maybe better than anyone. He played in several rock bands around Westfield. He was a softspoken man who enjoyed life to the fullest.
Henderson was also a good son and a good brother. He adored his mother and his country. When he was tragically lost at sea that fateful day in 1969, a bright and promising life was cut short.
Mascaro's speech also honored all the other local men and women who so proudly served their country, paying the ultimate price for our freedom. Mascaro said that though no one wants to give up their lives and leave their loved ones behind, the men and women of the United States military acknowledge the possibility of death as a part of war. They know that, often, wars are won by taking more lives than their enemy takes.
Henderson's mother, Mary Ann, is 85 years old. Not a day goes by for her that she doesn't think of the son she lost in the Vietnam War. It is the same for everyone who has lost a loved one at war; there is a daily acknowledgement of the grief that has become part and parcel of life. Her mind will wander to that small country in southeast Asia – a country we went to war for, and one that claimed the lives of 58,260 Americans before the last shot was fired. Another 58,000 lives were changed or affected by the Vietnam War, the lives of soldiers who lost parts of themselves, bits of their lives that they cannot reclaim, sunken into those far-away rice paddies and lost in the jungle.
Some Vietnam veterans consider themselves lucky. There are those of us who lived to see our families, who were well enough to marry and see children or grandchildren. Some may even see great-grandchildren. But for Terry Henderson, there was no marriage, no children or grandchildren. Henderson, who talked of going to college, never got to step foot on a college campus or sit through class in a lecture hall, surrounded by eager fellow students. He never got to choose a major and pursue a career.
It's sad to write about a fellow Vietnam veteran whose life was so cruelly snuffed out. No one will ever know how far in life Henderson would have gotten if he would have survived that day at sea. We can only remember him now, look at old photos and hear stories about him from friends and family.
What we do know is that Terry Lee Henderson was a wonderful young man. He enjoyed life and made good friends. He loved his mother and his country. He served the United States honorably, and his life was taken in the course of that service. And in remembering him, we must also remember that he is a hero.
I am sorry I could not personally thank him for his service, but I honor him and his memory here today. God bless his mother, Mary Ann, who has had to endure life for the last 44 years without her son. I am so sorry for her loss.
Terry Lee Henderson is our Hero of the Week.

I love the fact that is high DHA
Posted by Chocolicious on Sep 17, 2012
I warn people, although it doesn't have fishy repeat, it does have a bit of fishy taste, it doesn't mention it in the box, but it tastes like lemon and fish. I personally don't mind but some may do. I think it's more important the nutrients than the taste.
Posted by lyikoRU on Sep 14, 2012
Yes, they have a smack of fish. But all-in-all the effect trespasses my highest expectations! For me it's a great supplement. I felt myself better, more energized right after first gummy.
Great taste, great effects.
Posted by 5412345934572033437 on Sep 26, 2012
I use this in addition to the EPA gummies. I love their taste (they have a nice lemony taste with a bit of fishy aftertaste, that you get used to in a couple days). I can always tell when a day goes by without taking them because I don't feel as happy and perky. Usually I'm a bit depressed and these help me with my mood and make me a bit more active. You don't notice the improvements much, but others do.

Мармеладки (хотя скорее это желе) небольшие, к фольге не прилипают, легко жуются, пахнут немного рыбой, вкус - сливочно-лимонный. После них нет рыбной отрыжки. Может упею ещё заказать по акции. Marmalade (though it is rather jelly) small, to foil not stick, easy chewing, smell a little fish, the taste - cream-lemon. After them there is no fish burps. I have time still ordered by shares
Very good

I have a young teenager who won't take vitamins unless they're chewable, taste good, or are a liquid you can put in juice. Capsules or tablets are out. When I found these omegas. I was estatic. He liked them so much he wanted more than the recommended 2 a day. I was so disappointed when Country Life quit making them available. I don't know what I can give him as a substitute. I even went to their website & they don't offer them. What a loss!

Got the white green blues
It is a rite of spring. The snow melts, the flowers bloom and the Phoenix Coyotes are closing in on a deal for new ownership that will keep them in Glendale, Ariz.
This spring, neither snow melting nor the flowers blooming have come to pass on schedule, but it's the first round of the National Hockey League playoffs, which means the league claims it's found another Daddy Warbucks to rescue the team from the orphanage.
If you've been too focused on the actual games on the ice, I have been on a quest since 2009 to rescue the Coyotes and move them to the Copper Country where they might be appreciated and have a good home.
I have not been in any discussions with the NHL over the Coyotes, but I did play Daddy Warbucks in a 2001 Gwinn High School production of "Annie." (I shaved my head for the part. There are pictures.) My fundraising efforts have not borne a lot of fruit lately. My initial goal was to find a large deposit of gold or copper underneath a local construction project. I couldn't even find a quarter in a pothole, so I have shifted my efforts to finding my proverbial pot of gold.
I have some Irish ancestry on my father's side. I figure if I'm Irish enough for red hair, I can at least qualify for a small pot or at least a Dutch oven. Though the price of gold has declined recently, at well over $1,000 an ounce, even a crock pot of gold would be enough to pay the salary of a fourth-line forward for a year or two.
The Coyotes failed to make the playoffs this year, which I hope will drive the price down, perhaps to about $100. I still have some of my tax refund left and since golf looks iffy with the weather these days, I'm ready to adopt.
What I may lack in capital, I will more than make up for in hockey savvy, demonstrated by my slightly tardy playoff picks below:
Western Conference
Yes, I'm happy the Red Wings made the playoffs, but a series of must-have wins against non-playoff teams and the eighth-seeded L.A. Kings winning the Stanley Cup have inspired unreasonable optimism inside the Detroit fan base. Sometimes the trendy pick is the worst one. If you'd like proof, I'll show you the NCAA Tournament bracket in which I picked New Mexico to play in the Final Four this year.
I'll pick the Wings to lose to the Ducks in seven and maximize the pain by doing it in a game that starts at 11:30 p.m.
Though the Blackhawks didn't appear to have been informed the playoffs were starting Tuesday, they still beat the Wild in overtime and will take the series in five. Someone's going to have to win between Vancouver and San Jose. I like the Sharks to crack up last and win in six. Jonathan Quick's overtime goaltending disaster will haunt the Kings all series and they'll end their Cup defense in six games to St. Louis.
In the semis, I like the Blues over the Ducks in six and the Blackhawks over the Sharks in five. Chicago takes the Western final in seven.
Eastern Conference
The Pittsburgh Penguins have it all. They'll eliminate the Islanders before I figure out how the Islanders got to be a playoff team. Ottawa's fate will be sealed when goalie Craig Anderson sprains a back muscle throwing up a bad Montreal smoked meat sandwich before Game 7, completing a season full of bizarre injuries for the Sens. Washington's resurgence continues with a tight seven-game series win over the Rangers, and the media craziness overwhelms the not-ready-for-prime-time Leafs, who fall to Boston in five games.
Papa Gary "makes sure" the Eastern Conference Finals is Pittsburgh (over Boston in six) vs. Washington (over Montreal in five), but is surprised to find that the Caps put it together and surprise the super-team Penguins in six.
In the Stanley Cup Finals, the run of diversity extends to 10 different champs in 10 years as the Capitals take it in six games.
And if this all goes awry, at least I'm a nice guy. I won't call the dressing room and demand lineup changes (like Miami Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria did in April) or sell off my underachieving team's best players once I've demanded local governments build me a Xanadu on the public dime (also Loria).
Our spring is ready for winter in the Copper Country, Gary Bettman. Let's make a deal.

During his 2002 State of the Union Address, President Bush asked Americans to volunteer their services in order to improve and safeguard their country. Harnessing the spirit of cooperation that developed as a result of the tragic events of September 11th, President Bush created the Citizen Corps Program to organize volunteer services in the areas of crime, natural disasters and terrorism. The Community Emergency Response Team or (CERT) is a part of the Citizen Corps Program.
The CERT concept dates back to 1985, when the Los Angeles Fire Department recognized that in the early stages of a disaster—earthquakes in particular—local emergency responders would be overwhelmed, and basic training in disaster survival and rescue skills would improve the ability of community members to survive until responders or other assistance arrived.
Recognizing the universal value of this program, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) worked in conjunction with the LAFD to make the CERT program applicable to all types of hazards and developed a CERT training program which could be used nationwide and adapted to meet local conditions when the need arose.
The tragic events of September 11th remind us that disaster can strike anywhere or anytime, and the basic safety and disaster survival skills can mean the difference between life and death. CERT training empowers community members to prepare responsibly and respond appropriately when emergencies occur.
CERT members give critical support to first responders in emergencies, provide immediate assistance to victims, organize spontaneous volunteers at a disaster site, and collect disaster intelligence to support first responder efforts.
If you join a CERT, you will receive basic-level training in the following areas:

The Huntington City Beautification Committee has decided to honor some of the beautiful yards in the city. Each week two beautiful yards will be chosen and will be awarded with the Huntington Beautiful Yard, for that week, signs. These recognition placards will be placed in the front yards of those beautiful yards. One yard will be honored on the east side of Main Street and one yard will be honored on the west side of Main Street.
The Huntington City Beautification Committee will hold a Yard Beautification Contest. On Sept. 1 one award of $200 will be given to the Most Beautiful Yard in Huntington. Another $200 award will be given to the Most Improved Yard. In order to qualify for the Most Improved yard, people should take before and after pictures and fill out a form at City Hall. For the Most Improved Yard contest there is a $2 signup fee.
There is no charge for the $200 award for the Most Beautiful Yard.
The beautification committee said, "So, all you gardeners, let's beautify Huntington by beautifying our yards, and, be sure to look around to congratulate those two yards each week that have earned the Beautiful Yard for the week signs. The first week's winners on the west side of Main Street was the Dennis and Kaylene Pearson yard. The winner on the east side of Main Street was the Bryce and Luanne Wilson yard.
The Pearsons have worked hard on their yard. They held their son Chandler's wedding reception in the back yard. They envision some day holding a wedding reception for their daughter Meghan as well. The large hanging pots of flowers add to the festive atmosphere in the yard. The backyard fountain which Dennis crafted brings a sense of peace and calm with the running water. The Pearsons are excited to use their back yard and if you would like to contact them to hold a reception there then they invite you to give them a call.

I've had several variations of tagine, but this one is easily my favorite, thanks to spot-on seasoning and the unusual addition of bulgur. This spice blend is deliciously aromatic, filling my kitchen (not to mention the hallway leading up to the apartment) with an irresistible sweetness. The raisins plump up beautifully and complement the cinnamon and ginger. The chicken thighs become super tender from being browned and then braised. Yet the real winner for me was the bulgur. It makes a great hearty base for the other ingredients and manages to absorb all the flavors of the stew. My only suggestion for varying this recipe would be to add a dash of cayenne pepper to the spice blend for a little heat and contrast to the natural sweetness. Recipe from The Food Matters Cookbook.
