Quilt block party celebrates handmade heritage
ABINGDON, Va. - Abingdon is having a three-day block party, to show off and celebrate some down-home works of art.
Quilts will be on display all over town to not only give folks a chance to see them, but a chance for people to visit local businesses too.
The only hard part was figuring out which quilts will go where. The ladies at the Holston Mountain Artisans annex have the arduous task of sorting through and finding places for more than 100 handmade quilts.
They've been submitted for Abingdon's first quilt block party. The call went out and venues all over town wanted to participate. "All over town from one end to the other. From exit 13 to exit 19. [We saw] 34 venues and well over a hundred quilts," Donna Price with the group explained.
So the task at hand is to find the right quilt or quilts to go on display at each location. "The first thing we have to look at is the size that's available inside the venue and then we're going to squeeze as many quilts and wall hangings as we can into each space," she said.
Each quilt has a story attached, told by its owner or maker.
The sheer number of quilts surprised organizers. "We're very surprised at the participation that we got but we're very, very, pleased. We have quilts from pre-Civil War era to modern day art quilts to framed quilts and everything in between," she added.
It's also a great way to introduce people to not only the art of quilting but to all of the businesses involved. "This is great for our businesses because not only do people get a chance to see these gorgeous quilts, antiques, contemporary works, but they may have a chance to visit a restaurant or retailer where they've never been before," says Susan Howard with Abingdon Main Street.
The quilts will be on display all week all over town for the party. Plus, if it's related to quilts or quilting there are demonstrations going on too. So before you put away that winter quilt, stop a moment to listen to the story it has to tell.

For us it was a pleasure to be your guests! Thanks to Alexandra and Erik we had a wonderful first week on Crete. We had no problems with our appartment at all. Everything clean and functioned well. We even had TWO (!) cooling fans, so we didn't had to sweat due to the intense heat. Alexandra and Erik were very helpful and gave us good advice concerning sightseeing or food shopping! Me and my girlfriend cannot complain about anything and we wish Alexandra and Erik the best for the future.
Very lovely appartment in a small, quiet town. Very close near the only highway of Crete. We rented a car and went to a lot of different interesting villages and places of Crete. The beach is a bit far, but very nice.
We had the biggest room of the building. This was the only one with two balconies. Thereby we could always sit in the shaddow and the wind could flow through. That was very nice.
The apparment isn't luxe, but got everything you need and the owners were very nice en helpful. We had a lovely holiday!
Wir hatten einen tollen Urlaub. Das Appartement war super. Sauber, alles wie beschrieben. Sehr nette und hilfsbereite Vermieter. Gerne wieder.
We hebben een fijne week gehad in dit appartement in Kato Gouves.
De routebeschrijving was prima en we konden het appartement meteen vinden.
Bij aankomst heette Alexandra ons van harte welkom.
Ons appartement was schoon en zag er gezellig uit. We hadden 2 balkonnetjes dat was prettig. Het keukentje was prima en goed geoutilleerd.Het beddengoed en de handdoeken werden om de zoveel dagen verschoond. Er was ook nog een mogelijkheid om zelf een wasje te doen.
Er lag ook informatie over de omgeving. Vanuit Gouves is er voldoende mogelijkheid om de omgeving te verkennen zowel per auto als per bus. Bushalte dicht bij. Vanuit het appartement ben je ook zo op de grote weg.
Al met al hebben we het hier reuze naar onze zin gehad.
Alexandra en Erik bedankt!
die unterkunft hat uns gut gefallen.zentral gelegen zum flughafen.
die gastgeber waren sehr freundlich. als selbstverpfleger waren genügend einkaufsmöglichkeiten vorhanden.wir werden sicher irgendwann wieder kommen.
Siamo stati benissimo nell'appartamento di Alexandra. L'alloggio è confortevole tranquillo e molto pulito. L'atmosfera è rilassante. I locali sono super accessoriati e Alexandra mette a disposizione anche lavatrice, aspirapolvere e ferro da stiro. Ci ha fornito di tantissimi utili suggerimenti circa i locali e le taverne presso cui passare piacevoli serate. La fermata dell'autobus e vicina e consente di poter visitare comodamente altre località senza l'uso dell'auto. Il mare è a circa 15 minuti a piedi. Sicuramente ritorneremo perchè è stata una esperienza molto positiva!

We love this place and want definitely return there.

UK Outlook for Saturday 27 May 2017 to Monday 5 Jun 2017:
The sunny and very warm or hot conditions are likely to hold on in many eastern and south-eastern parts during the Bank Holiday weekend. However, we will already begin to see a thundery breakdown pushing in across northern and western parts during Saturday. Perhaps turning fresher, with drier and brighter weather moving into western parts on Sunday and Monday. A brief settled spell of weather is likely to follow, before we see unsettled conditions developing into the first week of June, with a mixture of sunshine and showers or longer spells of rain with strong winds, mainly in the north and west. Temperatures generally returning closer to normal, although in any sunshine it will become rather warm at times.
Updated at: 1359 on Mon 22 May 2017
UK Outlook for Tuesday 6 Jun 2017 to Tuesday 20 Jun 2017:
Confidence in the forecast remains low into early June, but on balance the first full week of June looks set to remain unsettled with showers or longer spells of rain, interspersed with some drier and brighter weather. By the middle of June, more settled weather may begin to dominate bringing drier and brighter weather. Temperatures are likely to be close to normal during the start of this period, but as more settled weather arrives it is likely that it will turn warmer and may become very warm in places.

very nice
Beautiful quilt Gladys!!
Great Job! I have lots of Nancy Halvorsen patterns and they are lots of fun:thumbup:
too too cute - great job on the piecing and the quilting.
Hello to all!
Thank you very much for your lovely and nice words to my work!
Have a great weekend!
A big hug for each one!
Wow! Your question made me think too much! Hahaha!
It is that I have not really seen reindeer in my life. Only some deers (the variety Brown with white spots - as Bambi) in the few zoos that I've visited, but never a reindeer with all their full antler!
But that doesn't mean that I think that they are beautiful and elegant!
There are so many different species in our world!
And if it weren't for zoos, some never would be seen by all!
Thank you for asking! Made to check names, species and differences in the Web and yesterday I went to bed having learned something new! Perfect day!
A big hug for you!
This piece is great just like the rest of your works. I think I like MUF better than UFO. LOL!
Absolutely wonderful, as always! I love your Christmas panel. I have many Christmas panels and patterns to do, but mine cannot compare to your beautiful work.
Your Christmas quilt is beautiful! I only hope to be that good someday! Nine UFO's completed! That is quite an accomplishment.

A 30-year-old Sulphur man has been charged with simple burglary and theft over $500, authorities said.
Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Kim Myers said Dallas S. Rainwater, 5508 Carlyss Drive, was arrested Tuesday.
"On Nov. 26, deputies were dispatched to a business on South Cities Service Highway in Sulphur regarding a burglary," Myers said Friday in a news release. "Upon arrival, deputies spoke with the owner of the business who advised when he arrived at work that morning, he discovered the back door was open and over $2,000 in cash and change was missing."
Myers said Rainwater, a former employee, was captured on surveillance video.
"Rainwater entered the front door using a key with a shirt over his face," Myers said. "After entering the business, Rainwater deactivated the security alarm, stole over $2,000 in cash and change from the register and money box, and exited the business through the back door."
Judge Kent Savoie set Rainwater's bond at $6,500.
Detective Michael Connor was the lead investigator.

Detroit Film Theatre
Thursday, October 11, 2012
7:00 PM DFT Auditorium
The early output of Russian cinema included a number of adaptations of works by the revered author Alexander Pushkin. Among the most important is this pair of films directed and adapted for the screen by Petr Chardynin. The Queen of Spades (1910), a cautionary fable about love and gambling, also served as the basis of the 1890 opera by Tchaikovsky, as well as the acclaimed 1916 remake which will be screened on November 8. The near-scandalous adaptation of Pushkin's The House in Kolomna (1913) stars the extraordinary Ivan Mozzhukhin, who soon went on to a film career in France as well as a brief stint in Hollywood at the end of the silent era.
TWILIGHT OF THE TSARS: Russian Cinema from 1910 – 1919
Banned for more than seventy years by the Soviet government, this astonishing series of cinematic treasures – presented in five programs over six Thursday evenings – provides a revelatory glimpse of the extraordinary quality of filmmaking that existed in Tsarist Russia, right up until the eve of revolution. David Robinson of Britain's Sight and Sound magazine described the viewing of these films as a moviegoing experience akin to "opening the tomb of Tutankhamen." Each program has a running time of approximately 90 minutes, and features live piano accompaniment by David Drazin.
The DFT's Crystal Gallery Café will be closed during September and the first two weeks of October due to glass and metalwork restoration of the café's three monumental windows. Please excuse our dust while we complete this exciting project, the finished work will help to preserve the historic ironwork window frames of Samuel Yellin, and give visitors a beautiful view of the night sky and midtown museum campus along John R. During construction, beverages and light snacks will be continue to served on the ground floor in the central Loggia space near the theater entrance.

The 13th Maine International Film Festival begins in Waterville next Friday, and along with the usual unusual array of (political, music, and eco-)documentaries, Amerindies, classic and foreign films, and a special night at the drive-in, MIFF has a couple new tricks up its sleeve. First is a new partnership with the American Film Institute's Project 20/20, an endeavor to promote cross-cultural communication in the form of screenings of four diverse and widely acclaimed festival favorites. Second, a special Portland event that blurs the lines between documentary, concert, and philosophical essay. Herein, a loosely-categorized roundup of the festival's highlights from July 9 to 18. Enthusiastic recommendations are noted in bold type.
To these eyes, the most encouraging steady advance in MIFF programming is the increasing prominence of world cinema's more ambitious young voices. German-Turkish director Fatih Akin established his credentials as one of Europe's most talented new filmmakers with his first two releases, the Turkish punk-rock romance Head-On and then 2007's widely-released, intimate study of globalization, The Edge of Heaven. Lighter in tone if not in command, SOUL KITCHEN observes a German restaurateur torn between saving his business and his relationship.
Quebecois filmmaker Xavier Dolan made his first film, the autobiographical I KILLED MY MOTHER, at 20. Last year, it swept its category at the Cannes Film Festival. (His second film, the new Heartbeats, played there to similar acclaim this May.) His heavily stylized, micro-budgeted debut is about a gay teenager (played by the director) and his complex relationships with older women.
Similarly, 1981 is an autobiographical coming-of-age tale by the half-Italian, half-French-Canadian director Ricardo Trogi, but of a much more familiar ilk: a cocksure, goofily charming child struggles with differences from his wealthier classmates and desires both romantic and material. Strong adult performances elevate the film, which is a definite crowd-pleaser.
Alexander Sokurov, who made the famous single-take-historical-museum-tour Russian Ark, returns with ALEXANDRA, which chronicles the relationship between a world-weary grandmother and her grandson, a Russian soldier battling the Chechens.
Also worth a look: Cell 211 is a well-honed prison-riot flick from Spain, and Around a Small Mountain may well be the final effort from the great French New Wave director Jacques Rivette. His film, about a man who stumbles upon and lingers with a traveling circus, is an appropriate elegy.
A vibrantly original animated documentary, Nina Paley's underdog DIY success story SITA SINGS THE BLUES relays three stories at once: the career of the 1920s jazz singer Annette Hanshaw, the epic Hindu legend of the Ramayana, and the director's own break-up story. It screens at the Skowhegan Drive-In on July 15.
Like Paley's film, Jessica Oreck's BEETLE QUEEN CONQUERS TOKYO is part of AFI Project 20/20. The festival favorite travels far and wide to consider the Japanese fascination with (and myriad uses of) insects.
BostonGlobe arts reporter Geoff Edgers puts a new spin on the musical fan-worship documentary (thank god) with Do It Again, as director Robert Patton-Spruill chronicles Edgers's deadly-serious mission to reunite the original lineup of the Kinks. Along the way, he chats with Sting, Zooey Deschanel, and Clive Davis.

[Article]-DIY Career in Ethical Hacking: The R-Rated Version
Permanent link: [Article]-DIY Career in Ethical Hacking: The R-Rated Version
The first time I gave this speech was at the SANS WhatWorks in Pen Testing Summit in 2008. Although the content was what I wanted to cover, I did tone it down it bit for the audience. I had a strong desire to do the talk again in the future, but had no intention on presenting at my own event, ChicagoCon. I must admit, that it didn't take too much arm twisting from some of the other EH-Netters to get me back to the podium.
So last fall at ChicagoCon 2008f (yes... that's what the 'f' is for), I took the advice and went for it. Not only is this version slightly longer, the stories I tell are not all the same & the free resources section is much longer, but also the audience was different allowing me to less loose. As I state in the speech itself, it's actually in the script for me to drop the 'F' Bomb... and I don't mean 'f'all. So if you really enjoyed the first one, then I'm excited to be able to share with you this new edition. If you're of the Disney crowd, the please refer to the last one. I still think it's worthwhile.
Enjoy and as always, give me yur brutally honest opinions,

Installed 2 packages May 17th. Hive 1 is doing great. By June 4th, I was fairly sure that Hive #2 was queenless. She must have died shortly after release because she never laid any eggs. There were no signs of laying workers either at that time. Twice, while inspecting, I thought I saw a queen as she had a very pale, slighlty long back-half but it was definitely not the original queen that was in the cage with the package as she was rather large.
I ordered a new queen the following day.
She didn't arrive until last Friday (June 14th) and when I went to put her cage in the hive, I saw many drone cells on the little bit of comb that they have drawn. There was also sproadic larvae showing here & there. I put the queen cage in the bottom of the hive anyway (I suspect they will kill her right away?). Tonight, they will have had 4 days to release her or kill her. If I find that they have killed her, what is my next step?
Should I steal a comb of brood from the good hive? I didn't do this originally because they had only just started laying brood. They still only have a few combs of brood.
I have read about "shake-outs" but how do I go about it with a tbh? Just brush them all out in front of the other hive? Will the other hive be likely to accept them? Any advice is appreciated. I have read Michael Bush's page on laying workers but I still have so many questions.

Primo Placement on Lucayan Beach
Grand Lucayan • Grand Bahama Island, Bahamas
Escape Kit
- A Four-Night Stay for Two in an Ocean-View Room from February 1 to April 30 ($519) or May 1 to September 30 ($379)
- Or, a Six-Night Stay for Two in an Ocean-View Room from February 1 to April 30 ($899) or May 1 to September 30 ($699)
- Daily Breakfast for Two
- Four Cocktails at Hammerheads
The Destination
Standing out can be hard in a country with hundreds of islands, but Grand Bahama Island manages to shine as one of the gems of the archipelago. Miles of sparkling-white beaches give way to warm blue waters in a place that feels a world away, but is actually just 75 miles off the coast of Florida. Here, the two major towns of Freeport and Lucaya move at an easy pace, and the Lucayan National Park's marine caves and tropical forests make Grand Bahama Island a destination for eco-tourism.
The Digs
Facing the wide swath of white sand on Lucayan Beach—one of the cleanest in the Bahamas—the Grand Lucayan brings the low-key island some uncommon panache. The resort is arguably the island's finest and has the numbers to prove it, offering eight restaurants and bars, three pools, an 18-hole golf course, and four tennis courts, not to mention a spa, fitness center, children's program, and a slew of daily resort activities. Its 542 guest rooms are decked out with Caribbean décor in a cool palette, and many show off ocean views from private balconies.
The Diversions
With a full-service spa and specialty treatments like the seasonal facial—prepared with organic fruits, herbs, and exotic spices—indulgence is always on the menu. Wade over to Hammerheads, where a bounty of frosty drinks and snacks are a lap away, or clear your mind as you float in the pool. If a shuffle through the sand makes you yearn for a closer peek at marine life, head to the Underwater Explorers Society to dive alongside 14 bottlenose dolphins. Dinner calls for a platter of West Indies-inspired cuisine like cracked conch drizzled with spicy sauce from Iries.
"We recently stayed at the Grand Lucayan and found the staff, accommodations, and environment excellent! This hotel is ideal for getting away from the crowds, especially if you enjoy being immersed into a tropical paradise."-- TripAdvisor

Third- and fourth-graders at Eagle View Elementary School performed their spring concert Thursday, April 25, themed "Fifty Nifty United States," under the direction of music teacher Mrs. Nick.
Each song had a state theme, including a Minnesota song, southern folk song and others. In one song, students recited the names of all 50 states.
In addition to singing, some students performed a hula dance to "The Hukilau Song" and instruments were a part of the performance.
Several students played xylophones, some played the spoons, hit tambourines or played slide whistles and one student, Vinnie Sposito, accompanied his classmates by playing guitar to "My Home's in Montana."

Down-Home Hospitality on a Texas Ranch
MD Resort • Aurora, TX
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two in the German, Victorian Lace, Texas Sweetheart, Wilderness Journey, Stallion, or Imperial Garden Rooms, Sundays through Thursdays ($97) or Fridays and Saturdays ($117)
- Tray of Hand-Dipped Chocolates and Single Rose
- Use of Massage Table with Massage Oils and Music (No Massage Therapist)
The Destination
Despite such close proximity to the flash and spectacle of Dallas, Fort Worth, Texas, hardly lives in its shadow. An easygoing self-assurance about the place harks back to its cowboy past, when frontier ranchers took fate into their own calloused hands. Still, the city has come a long way since its days as a cattle trading post, constructing world-class art museums and performance venues like the Kimbell and Bass Hall funded by the vast fortunes of a new group—oil tycoons. Today's Fort Worth is equal parts cultured and country, a recipe that suits folks just fine.
The Digs
Far enough outside the city to provide an authentic Texas prairie experience, MD Resort welcomes guests to its working ranch. Horses, donkeys, and even a buffalo named "Biscuit" have plenty of room to roam on the 37-acre property, sharing the space with a shady pecan orchard, wide-open hay field, and outdoor pool with hot tub. Inside, cozy rooms are so comfortable, you might forget the cowboy country outside your window if not for a few rustic touches. The setting is ripe for romance with couples packages, like use of the resort's massage table with massage oils and soothing music. The award-winning MD Resort has been featured on numerous national TV shows and hailed by TripAdvisors as "a little piece of heaven."
"It's great to spend a whole day there. I loved seeing and feeding the animals, playing horseshoes outside, and swinging in the hammock. Absolute quiet and just a beautiful property."-- TripAdvisor

Middle Childhood Education Learning Objectives
The Middle Childhood Licensure Program is dedicated to the concerns of educating 4th -9th graders (9-14 yr. olds). Ohio is one of few states that has mandated a license that devotes its curriculum to candidates who become middle child experts. Middle childhood licensure candidates major in middle childhood education and focus on two areas of concentration from the four broad disciplines of language arts, social studies, mathematics, and science.
Middle childhood candidates are encouraged to be reflective lifelong learners who utilize their in-depth content knowledge through applying a variety of teaching methods that are responsive to pre-adolescent/adolescent needs. They are encouraged to recognize their personal dispositions in order to help themselves develop into caring teachers.
At Mount Union, a middle childhood education degree, with additional coursework, leads to a license to teach grades four through nine in two areas of concentration. We also offer additional coursework to add an endorsement for grades 4-6 in the other two areas of concentration.
Education Learning Objectives
The Teacher Education Program at Mount Union prepares competent, capable and caring teachers. The common objectives developed in all program areas include:
- Candidates will demonstrate understanding of the subject matter areas and create meaningful learning experiences based on this knowledge.
- Candidates will demonstrate an understanding of each student's cognitive, Social, physical, and emotional development and to create learning opportunities that support student academic development.
- Candidates will demonstrate the ability to recognize and value student diversity and the differences in how students learn and provide instruction to accommodate such diversity.
- Candidates will demonstrate the ability to develop instructional plans based on student's needs, curriculum goals and models, subject matter and community.
- Candidates will demonstrate pedagogical knowledge and skills and use this expertise to encourage each student to develop critical-thinking and problem-solving skills.
- Candidates will demonstrate the ability to create a classroom environment that facilitates learning and a climate that encourages fairness, positive social interactions, active learning, and self-motivation.
- Candidates will demonstrate effective verbal, nonverbal, written, technological, and media communication skills to support and enhance student learning.
- Candidates will demonstrate an understanding of the role of assessment and the use of formal and informal assessment strategies to evaluate student learning.
- Candidates will demonstrate the skills necessary for self-reflection and use this knowledge to analyze past experiences and pursue professional development opportunities.
- Candidates will demonstrate the ability to collaborate with students, candidates, parents, community members, and professional colleagues in order to support student learning and development.
- Candidate will demonstrate a sense of caring.

about registered sexual offenders is intended solely as a means of public protection, any other use prohibited.
Pursuant 42 Pa.C.S. § 9799.28,
the State Police has established this website to provide timely information to
the public on registered sexual offenders who reside, or are transient, attend school, or are employed/carry

The following graphs depict the overall success of the substance abuse community-based programs. The first graph details the felony adult drug arrests over the last fourteen years. It shows the arrest increase leading up to the height of the crack cocaine epidemic in 1989. The crack cocaine epidemic caught both law enforcement and corrections by surprise, and the department did not have a strategic plan in the late 80s to address the situation. In 1991, the Legislature passed the "Community Corrections Partnership Act". The act was an effort to provide funding for treatment both in the community and increased funding inside the "fence" for substance abuse programs.
The second graph depicts the drug admissions to community supervision over the last twelve years. Again, it shows the rise of the crack cocaine crisis in the late 80s and the leveling off and small increase of drug admissions to community supervision through the 90s.
The final graph in this series shows similar trends leading up to the height of the crack cocaine epidemic in fiscal year 89-90. In fiscal year 89-90, 36.1 percent of all admissions to prison were admitted for a drug-related crime. Over 16,000 inmates walked through the gates with a drug charge as the primary offense. Some of these inmates were recommitted two and three times during the same year because they were released early by the "Control Release Authority" (Parole Commission). They were considered low risk offenders in comparison to the prison population. In some cases, violent offenders were released early to make room for the new admission of a non-violent drug offender. This criminal justice policy clearly made no sense.
With creation of the "Community Corrections Partnership Act" in 1991, the Florida Legislature recognized that it was necessary to provide both outpatient and residential substance abuse program funding for community corrections. Since the inception of substance abuse funding, which has basically increased through the fiscal years of 1991 to 1998, there has been a rather significant reduction of prison admissions for drug crimes. With the rapid advent of circuit drug courts, state funding, and county funding, community corrections substance abuse programs have had a significant impact on the number and percentage of inmates admitted to prison with a drug conviction as their primary offense. Over 50% of offenders who receive treatment program sanctions from the felony court are never re-arrested and sentenced to prison for a felony drug crime.
There are two main factors for this reduction. The primary reason for reduction was the implementation of many outpatient and residential programs detailed in this report. The secondary reason can be attributed to increased prison construction during the 90s, and the continuous funding of prison-based substance abuse programs. The end result of this balanced criminal justice policy is that non-violent drug offenders are primarily being treated in the community and violent inmates are now serving at least 85 percent of their sentence.
The last fiscal year (97-98), only 24.4 percent of all admissions to prison had a drug charge as their primary offense, which was slightly more than 5,000 inmates. This was down from over 16,000 inmates in fiscal year 89-90. Although felony adult drug arrests and drug admissions to community supervision have remained fairly constant during the last six years, drug admissions to prison have decreased dramatically, thereby saving valuable prison beds for violent and predatory offenders. It is vital that the Florida Legislature continues to provide funding for community-based programs and funding for a balanced criminal justice policy. Community-based outpatient programs operate at a fraction of the cost of new prison construction and extant prisons. Also, over the last eight years, residential treatment programs have proven to be very cost effective when compared to prison.

Would you like to play The Last Express with me?
Posted on 1st Jun 2009 at 11:37 by Joe Martin with 8 comments
The Last Express is an adventure game by Jordan Mechner, who also made all of the good Prince of Persia games. The storyline for the game is set over three days and it's all set right on the very eve of the first world war, with all the action and adventure taking place on a train that is travelling from Paris to Constantinople. The train is the famous Orient Express and as the journey begins there is a murder on board. Admittedly I know a lot of this only from what I've heard – I'm still playing the game for the first time at the moment.
So far then, The Last Express is just a normal game, but here's the kicker – it's all set in real-time. It's also a game I want to invite you to play with me.

I forget about that 'invisible line' Bandy. God, that's is a good point. I tend to think of our problems as problems common to any man... but that's not true.
GY has some excellent points that are no-brainers... like certain assault weapons, and other classes of weapons should be forbidden to a normal citizen.
If a citizen wants to bear arms, they sure as hell have a responsibility to learn how to handle it safely, and to understand the consequences of discharging it.
A lot of good points about family, and core ethics.
There are sick people out there. They'll find a way to hurt others, if that's their agenda.
Here's something... We now have the technology to accurately identify psychotics, manic depressives, schizophrenia, etc. by simply mapping the brain... almost like an MRI. Various areas of the brain show up as a certain color when normal, and have other colors when a chemical imbalance, an excess or deficiency of chemicals, exists. For example, Schizo's have a deficiency of lithium in their systems and it is clear as a bell in a brain scan. This is an exact science.
So, your little Bobby is in 8th grade and it's time for all children to get their scan. Bobby comes home with a letter telling you that he's psychotic and will, forever more, not be allowed certain privileges, like ever owning a firearm.
Is this a violation of our personal rights?
How do you resolve personal rights and the rights of others to know who might dangerous.
"Did you hear? Bobby Smith down the block is a Psycho"
What percentage of Psychos ever perform an act dangerous to others? probably damned few. But, the possibility exists... so, do you have the right to brand someone because of a possibility?
Lots of questions and no way to find exact answers without effecting the rights of many innocents.
In our future, can we begin any serious process by agreeing that all existing career politicians are to be lobotomized and sent to Antarctica?
What's that?
Oh... they've already been lobotomized??? ... we simply forgot to ship them out, so they still run our countries.
"life goes on" I guess ?
switching gears with you guys:
The Jays look solid on paper but I'm not declaring the the Philly Eagles of the AL East yet.
There is still time. Actually the O's are probably the pre-season favorite to win the East especially if the Yanks and Sawx sit pat with what they got.
the Jays might start off red hot then trail off like our Giants ??? ugh.
never the less the East will be changing over time especially if the Yanks don't get young and athletic... ( I shiver at thoughts of my young life in the 1980s )
leaving town in a few days so just in case:
Merry Christmas/ Happy Chanukah !!!

Be careful out there, GY, and enjoy the Holidays with those you love... we'll be here when you get back.
sorry fellas, this Team is done.
Fewell has to go the way of Sheridan and Lewis...
Reese has to concentrate on O-Line and Secondary, then Backs and Backers

text: Came across this list from Time Magazine which lists their choice of the 10 worst figure skating costumes during the 20 years leading up to the 2010 Olympics. This is the list together with Time's reasons for nominating each costume:- 1. Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin (2010 European Championships) Time's Comments: "Ice dancers Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin — the favorites to win gold in Vancouver — showed up at [the 2010] European Championships with a program supposedly inspired by aboriginal cultures. To the shock of many in the Australian Aboriginal community, however, the Russian pair donned bright red loincloths, brown bodysuits and a scattering of fake eucalyptus leaves. Australian Aboriginals dismissed the outfits as offensive and lacking authenticity. But Shabalin said the pair had drawn inspiration from all of the world's aboriginal cultures, not Australia's in particular. With medals on the line, however, they're not dancing around the controversy any longer: the pair ditched the costumes on the eve of the Olympics." 2. Stéphane Lambiel (2006 Torino Olympics) Time's Comments: "Switzerland's Stéphane Lambiel shed tears of joy when he received the silver medal in Torino. Then again, maybe he simply realized how outlandish his costume was. Skating to Vivaldi's Four Seasons, he braved the ice wearing an orange-and-white zebra-striped top with glittery blue gloves. He later told reporters that the program and the outfit told the story of "a zebra looking at snow for the first time in his life."" 3. Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy (2010 European Championships) Time's Comments: "The two-time world champions Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy are bringing their game faces to Vancouver — and they're covered in white makeup. At the recent European Championships in Tallinn, Estonia, the German pair skated to a piano rendition of "Send in the Clowns" with elegance, grace and a sweet sense of humor. Szolkowy told figure-skating fans there was just one problem: "I want to scratch my nose and not worry about the makeup."" 4. Oksana Baiul (1994 Olympics) Time's Comments: "At the '94 Games, all eyes were on the dueling Americans, Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding. But then Oksana Baiul, the Ukrainian orphan turned world champion, took to the ice dressed as a showgirl pretending to be a flamingo. Baiul's sartorial shortcoming is probably due to the timing of the Olympics: beads, fur trim and fringe were popular among Eastern European skaters in the '90s." 5. Marina Aganina and Artem Knyazev (2006 Olympics) Time's Comments: "Uzbekistan isn't exactly known for figure skating. After Marina Aganina and Artem Knyazev's costumes in Torino, the country probably won't ever be known for fashion either. The pair appeared to have skated through a cotton-candy factory ahead of their long program. How the psychedelic coloring enhanced their performance to Tchaikovsky's "Danse Napolitaine" from Swan Lake remains a mystery." 6. Nathalie Pechalat and Fabian Bourzat (2006 Olympics) Time's Comments: "When France's Nathalie Pechalat and Fabian Bourzat skated onto the ice in Torino, they looked like they had just survived a particularly violent practice session: their costumes consisted of ripped chiffon decorated with faux blood and ash. Fortunately, they were merely victims of fashion; their costumes were meant to help them interpret the music from Les Misérables." 7. Elena Grushina and Ruslan Goncharov (2006 Torino Olympics) Time's Comments: "The Ukrainian ice dancers Elena Grushina and Ruslan Goncharov chose to skate to Peter Gabriel's "The Feeling Begins" from The Last Temptation of Christ at the 2006 Torino Games. There was nothing holy about Grushina's dress, though. It was backless — and nearly frontless too. Thank goodness for the strategically placed tassels." 8. Ilia Kulik (1998 Olympics) Time's Comments: "Skating to "Rhapsody in Blue," Russia's Ilia Kulik looked like a disaster in yellow at the 1998 Nagano Games. In online forums, figure-skating fans compared his shiny yellow outfit (with shoulder pads) to a rotten banana and a jaundiced cow. He went on to win gold despite the fashion faux pas." 9. Barbara Fusar-Poli and Maurizio Margaglio (2006 Torino Olympics) Time's Comments: "In Torino, Italian figure skaters Barbara Fusar-Poli and Maurizio Margaglio set their dramatic routine to the soundtrack of the animated film The Prince of Egypt. Apparently no one told them Egypt is too warm for velvet bodysuits, or that when it comes to satin sashes, less is definitely more." 10. Johnny Weir (2006 Olympics) Time's Comments: "American figure skater Johnny Weir once compared one of his spandex-and-sequins costumes to a "Care Bear on acid," and another to an "icicle on coke." In 2006, he opted for something a bit classier. He skated to "The Swan" by Camille Saint-Saëns, and his costume featured a pattern of feathers across the chest, crisscrossed strapping over one arm and a single red glove meant to symbolize the bird's beak. The experience, he told Sports Illustrated, has made him comfortable in any attire. "I could go out there as a giant banana and I would feel completely comfortable."" So, which of these 10 costumes was the worst? Also, what would you say was the worst costume of all time (whether its on or outside of this list)? Please provide a YouTube link to it if it's outside of the list.

text: Our line is decimated by injuries and we aren't getting great play from the replacements, yet Arkin is not playing. I'm not saying he should play .... but I am wondering why we are using up a roster spot on a guy who isn't good enough to even get spot duty on a team with a weak line, no depth AND is decimated by injuries. Does he have SOOO much potential that next year he will compete for a starting position? If not why keep him? Are we going to redshirt him next year too?

Better Know An Athlete: U.S. Women's Soccer
The top ranked soccer side in the world looks to defend their claim to Olympic gold at the Summer Olympic Games in London.
United States Women's National Team – Soccer
Head Coach: Pia Sundhage
Captain: Christie Rampone
Since first gracing the international soccer stage with their presence, the U.S. women's national team has been what you would call a powerhouse. They won their first World Cup in 1991 (their first appearance) and again in 1999. Between World Cup wins they also pulled in three CONCACAF championships ('91, '93, '94) and Olympic gold (1996) in Atlanta. The turn of the century was marked by more winning, with three more CONCACAF gold cups ('00, '02, '06) and three Olympic medals (silver in the 2000 games in Sydney, gold in 2004 Athens and gold in 2008 Beijing).
The team has twice been honored by the U.S. Olympic committee as the Team of the Year and once by Sports Illustrated as Sportspeople of the Year. They have also amassed an astonishing eight Algarve Cups ('00, '03, '04, '05, '07, '08, '10, '11), an annual invitational tournament considered to be one of the most prestigious in women's soccer.
Key Players:
GK Hope Solo – While the vocal American keeper has on occasion had trouble stopping her postgame tirades, she hasn't had any trouble stopping balls. She's been the team's first-choice keeper since 2005, has recorded numerous clean sheets, including a 1,054-minute streak without a goal, and led the American team to Olympic gold in 2008 with a shutout 1-0 win over Brazil.
DF Christie Rampone – Team captain and soccer's elder stateswoman, Rampone has seen it all: four World Cups, three Olympics, numerous national team caps (actually, the most caps of any active player, male or female, and fourth all-time) and has got a mantel full of hardware to show for it. There is no doubt who controls the pace of the game for the Americans, and her experience will be revered by the handful of first-time Olympians on the team.
MF Carli Lloyd – An offense-minded midfielder, Lloyd has become a mainstay for the American side. Her breakout 2008 season, which included two lone goal victories at the Olympics (one against Japan and the other in the aforementioned Brazil game) earned her U.S. soccer's Female Athlete of the Year and solidified her status as the answer to the departure of longtime team anchor Kristine Lilly.
FW Abby Wambach – When we talk about women's soccer, we have to talk about Abby Wambach: 10 years after her departure she's still the all-time scorer for the Florida Gators, she's been named the U.S. soccer Athlete of the Year five times ( '03, '04, '07, '10, '11) and the AP's Female Athlete of Year in 2011, and she's the second all-time scorer worldwide (behind former teammate Mia Hamm). At 32 she's still got a lot left in the tank, and the U.S. team will be relying on her experience and skill to lead their attack in London.
Player to Watch: Alex Morgan – At 22, Morgan is one of the youngest members on the national team but has turned into one of its most prolific scorers; she's already netted 17 in international play this year and has become something of a clutch-time playmaker. She'll be looking to solidify herself as a household name on a team that's chock-full of them.
Hope Solo on the U.S.'s incredible overtime win against Brazil at the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup: "Even when we were a player down and a goal behind in extra time, you sensed that something was going to happen…[the] team kept fighting. You can't teach that. It's a feeling — and we play with that feeling."
Olympic Scouting Report: There's no question the U.S. is the team to beat in London; they're ranked first overall by FIFA and have been for some time. That said, the Japanese national team has presented itself as a stumbling block this year, handing the U.S. their only loss and their only draw in 2012 (although the Americans did win a 4-1 blowout in June). They've got one more tune-up against Canada, then it's on to the Olympic group stages where they'll see France, Colombia and North Korea.
