The Arrowverse Being Mad At Barry Allen For Mangling The Timeline Doesn't Make Any Sense
If there was one focus of the giant Flash/Arrow/Supergirl/Legends of Tomorrow crossover last night, it was the fact that aliens invaded earth and abducted the president. If there was a second focus, it was that everyone was mad at Barry Allen.
The second one is almost more significant, given how likable Barry normally is, and as Cisco says "it's like illegal to be mad at Barry or something." But a large chunk of the guest stars turned up and were upset when they discovered that Barry had altered the timeline by going back to save his mother, then going back again to undo it once he realized things were getting bad, only return to the "correct" timeline and discover that some things were still different.
Iris and Joe weren't speaking because of drama with Iris's mother.
Cisco's brother was killed in an accident.
I'm going to ignore how fundamentally goofy it is that Barry saving and unsaving his mom in a single second somehow changes the gender of someone's baby or causes a car accident, and just accept that yes, fine, things are different when you time travel and change stuff, however small. But everyone being mad at Barry over this fact is nonsensical to me, and it was really irritating to see a number of characters lambast him for this, chief among them the time-police Legends (who eventually forgave him) and Cisco, who remains mad at Barry, and mad Cisco is a bad Cisco.
Here's the thing, for the most part, the only person that should be truly affected/scarred by changing the timeline is Barry, who can remember both realities, or people that are effected by the work of Alchemy, who draws on the alternate timeline. But it was sort of ridiculous when someone like Diggle was furious over learning the gender of his baby was changed, when he has literally never known anything different in this timeline. It's not like he had a baby daughter and suddenly she popped out of existence in his arms and was replaced by a baby boy. It would be like someone telling you that in some alternate timeline you had a brother instead of a sister. Would you be that mad? Would it even matter from your perspective?
The Cisco thing is a decidedly negative event, Dante dying, but again, it's not as if Barry was racing through time and saw his parents on one track and Cisco's brother on another and had to choose. This Cisco being mad at Barry for this is being incredibly short-sighted about the entire concept of time travel.
Every time Barry travels back a new timeline is created, split off from the original point, and it's always going to be different from the original. Saving his mom to create Flashpoint created big changes, while then un-saving her had more minor changes, given that he was trying to keep things close to the original.
But there are a zillions of potential alternate timelines out there. Keep in mind that Barry's first experience with time travel was to warp back and save everyone he knew from being murdered by Vandal Savage. Saving a bunch of superheroes should have huge ramifications for the timeline, but is that ever discussed? Not at all.
Furthermore, it's not even clear if Barry's changes are responsible for stuff that's happening in present day. Would Caitlyn have manifested powers anyway? Would Wally? Does Dr. Stein having a daughter he can't remember have to do with Barry's timeline changes, or his own?
And that's the thing, I can buy exactly none of this for one reason alone, Legends of Tomorrow. It is extremely hard to believe that Barry Allen is at fault for trying to save his mother and father by time-traveling when the Legends and their adversaries don't just mess with the timeline, they tear it up and stomp on it on a weekly basis.
I had to laugh when Sarah Lance and Ray were saying "Barry, this is the kind of stuff we're traveling through history to protect!" Like I get their point is to "protect" the timeline from disruptive events, but even if they do things like prevent the Confederates from winning the Civil War or stop Hitler from nuking New York there are all these scenes of them fighting legions of historical enemies or appearing to kings and Presidents and emperors and what not. There's one episode where yes, they stop someone from blowing up the Reagan-Russia Cold War summit, but they practically storm the White House with their super-suits and fire powers and ninja skills. Like, how is that not altering the timeline by itself in a massive way? How is Barry crucified for changing and un-changing one thing while they do this every week, and another speedster like Eobard Thawne is literally running wild through history changing more things than anyone could possibly even know?
This is always the problem you get into with time travel-based plotlines, and obviously you are going to find a lot of plot holes unless the matter is handled very carefully in fiction. But I don't think I've ever seen anything play so fast and loose with the rules of time travel like what we've seen in the Arrowverse. I'm willing to suspend disbelief most of the time because that's sort of the goofy nature of the show, but when it becomes a major plot point like what we're seeing with this recent mass rebellion against Barry and the fact that a character like Cisco is being ruined because of a nonsensical grudge, it's gone too far.
The only one making any sense this past episode was Oliver Queen, who told Barry anyone would have tried to save their parents, he made a mistake, and he and everyone else has to move on. I 100% endorse all of that, and it's time for the show to free itself from this awkward rendition of Flashpoint as soon as possible.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - January 27, 1984, New Braunfels, Texas merci ip/, .oc. Com,j.£oi SC^3?Cle *>allris , 75?L5Employee proposals draw Ere from Utilities board By DEBBIE DeLOACH Staff writer A 3-percent employee base wage adjustment for 1984 was approved by New Braunfels Utilities trustees Thursday without much discussion. But proposals to change vacations, define short-term leave of absences, and add compensation time ruffled some feathers. There were several points of disagreement that led to tabling all the proposals. One was confusion over general manager Bob Sohn's proposition to clarify NBU's sick leave policy. "Current policy gives five days for emergency leave and 12 days sick leave (one day a month accrued to 60 days total)," Sohn began. "What we're proposing is 12 days sick leave and 3 days for emergency for 15 days total.'' Trustee Robert Orr argued against combining sick leave "with all kinds of bullcom. If people can get it (60 days), they'll take it, and I can't go for that. I think it's a terrible proposal." Sohn's vacation proposition didn't fare much better. Present NBU policy calls for 2 weeks vacation after one year, then after the 10th year, an employee gets I day a year up to 15 years when he or she qualifies for 3 weeks. The change Sohn wanted was 3 weeks after 8 years, 4 weeks from 15-24 years, and 5 weeks after 25 years. "That's a heck of a move in one swoop of the pen," Bill Brown, board chairman, said. "What I don't like is the first-year guy gets 15 days sick leave, 2 weeks vacation and 9 holidays. So he's gone 45 days before he walks in the door. "I'm not against employee benefits," he continued, "but what would we do for a encore? Let's aim for this, have a committee work on it, work toward this but not all in one year. The costs would be astronomical." Trustee Amo Becker had this suggestion: "I'd rather see I year-1 week, 2 years-2 weeks, because even after two years, you really haven't gotten your investment back on an employee. Then I'd prefer IO years-3 weeks, 17-years-4 weeks, because frankly I have a problem with 25 days." None of the trustees expressed bad feelings over compensation Presently, NBU doesn't have compensation time for its salaried employees. So Sohn suggested a "I for 2 basis — for every two hours worked, give one hour back — up to a maximum of 5 days. There'd be no cash conversion," he added. But none of it flew. "If we have a Model T (for these policies), I don't want our employees to have to drive a Model I," Orr said. "But I don't know that we have to buy them a brand new El Dorado Cadillac in one year. I say defer this, and work it out through a committee." So the proposals on sick leave, vacation and compensation changes were tabled, and Orr and Edgar Sahm volunteered to serve on a committee to hash out some replacements. ▲ JJU!. tm nil igi New Braunfels, Texas Braunfels Herald-Zeituna Volume 93—No. 20 on D",ae — ° FRIDAY January 27, 1984 25 Cents 20 Pages—2 Sections (USPS 377-880) Doctor says Jones wanted to 'lose' viaI GEORGETOWN (AP) - Dr. Kathleen Holland says nurse Genene Jones ran out of explanations when the doctor found two holes in a vial of the drug allegedly used by the nurse to kill a baby. The Kerrville pediatrician told jurors Thursday that her nurse was "coolly defensive" when confronted with the holes in the bottle's stopper. Ms. Jones was out of explanations, but not out of ideas, she said. The nurse wanted to throw the bottle away, the doctor testified. By that time, IO days after the Sept. 17,1962, death of 15-month-old Chelsea McClellan, the Kerrville medical community was asking questions. Ms. Holland said the nurse had a plan: "She said, 'I don't think we should explain (the holes) at all. We thought we lost the vial. Throw it out and tell them we lost it.'" Ms. Holland spent almost two hours on the stand Thursday as a prosecution witness in Ms. Jones murder trial. Her damaging testimony left the defendant shaking. Ms. Jones is charged with injecting the young girl with a powerful muscle relaxant that caused her death. It was in a small vial of that drug that the doctor found the holes. The doctor also testified the nurse, without proper authorization, had ordered the muscle relaxing drug. Chelsea's first visit to Ms. Holland's office was on Aug 24, 1982, one day after the office opened. Ms. Jones took Chelsea while her mother, Petti McClellan, talked with the doctor. The nurse called for her boss when Chelsea had a seizure-like episode. The girl was rushed to the hospital, where she spent eight days in intensive care. No major problems were discovered. "I was confused," the doctor recalled. "I had a history of a child who had a history of stopping breathing and who had a seizure in my office. The tests and what had happened didn't fit together." "She said, 'I don't think we should explain (the holes) at all. We thought we lost the vial. Throw it out and tell them we lost it.'" Prior to Chelsea's next visit, Ms. Jones ordered drugs for the office — including Anectine, a brand-name version of the muscle relaxant she is accused of using to kill the girl. Ms. Holland said of the Sept. 7 drug order, "half of it I indirectly authorized." "Genene said such-and-such a medicine Is missing. I was on the way out of the office. I told her, 'Look for it, look everywhere in the cabinets. If you don't find it log it as missing,"' the doctor testified. Anectine was ordered to replace the missing bottle, which was never recorded as missing, she added. Chelsea returned to the office on Sept. 17, only because her older brother had a cold. Ms. Holland said she thought it was a good time for the Sin to have two routine immunizations. The shots were given in another room as Mrs. McClellan held her daughter's arms. "Genene asked me if I'd come to look at Chelsea. She told me Chelsea had gotten upset when she got the shot, had gotten mad," the doctor testified. The symptoms were similar to the Aug. 24 reaction. Medical experts have testified here that the symptoms also were similar to those caused by Anectine. Chelsea was rushed back to Sid Peterson Hospital rn Kerrville. Ms. Holland said she decided to transfer the girl to a San Antonio hospital. See JONES, Page IU St** photo by John V Sen mr Waitin' for a train?

I think this years draft lines up perfectly for the oil! If we stay in the top 3 we get a franchise d man to go with nurse, klefbom, j Schultz & and a promising marincin or a 2nd line center in Bennett or Reinhardt.
If we keep winning we end up with one of the power forwards in dalcolle, Ritchie or virtanen all 6 of these players fit a role that we desperately need.
No one wants to be here but 3 years from now we make look at this draft and say it brought us the final piece of the puzzle we needed, take the bpa and then Mac T can trade off the spare parts to fill the holes.

Sir Michael Lyons' housing policy proposals for the Labour party represent a solid response to the widely debated "crisis" in housing. There is much disagreement about the causes of the shortage of housebuilding, which in turn fuels high house prices. It is also the case that the problem is most severe in London where there is substantial international demand affecting the property market.
The 1997-2010 Labour government commissioned economist Kate Barker to review the supply of housing. She concluded in 2004 that a number of steps needed to be taken, including: more land being made available for housing; planning procedures being speeded up; councils being incentivised to grant planning permission; greater certainty in seeking "planning gain" contributions; and more competition in the construction industry.
A decade on and there is still a gap between growth in the number of households and housing completions. The UK's population has been rising relatively sharply and the need to accommodate between 400,000 and 500,000 additional people each year has generated further pressure on Britain's already under-supplied housing market.
London's population is rising at a rate of 100,000 a year, with the rest of the "greater south-east" (south-east plus east) increasing by a similar amount. Housebuilding in these areas and across the country as a whole is lagging the growth in population-driven household demand. As a result of a period in which the increase in households has outstripped the creation of additional housing there is a backlog of demand. The shortage of housing has also, inevitably, fed into rising house prices – particularly in London and the greater south-east.
Pent-up demand and (a related issue) affordability mean that, particularly in the south, prices are increasing, while those who currently own homes are in an advantageous position in relation to buying new housing. Even if there were a modest rise in housebuilding there is little chance that many middle-income households could compete with, for example, buy-to-rent purchasers.
Lyons has been working against this backdrop. He will report that there should be "urban extensions", and that while communities should have a say in planning they should not be able to veto development. This policy of incremental growth around the edges of existing cities, possibly facilitated by new development corporations, would be accompanied by a removal of limits on the housing revenue account (HRA).
HRA limits were put in place following a reform originally designed to liberate councils to develop more housing by giving them control of £300bn of rental income and surplus rental streams which would be available to support significant levels of building. However, the government's overriding need to cut its budget deficit led it to put a limit on the new borrowing freedoms, which had been the original purpose of the HRA reform.
Lyons is not alone in suggesting the HRA borrowing, and the proposal is prudential at a local level. But if enacted there would be an increase in "total managed expenditure" and, thus, UK government indebtedness. While it is possible that lenders and ratings agencies would recognise the difference between additional borrowing to build homes (ie infrastructure) and borrowing for, say, higher spending on welfare, there is no doubt the chancellor would either have to accept slightly higher spending and borrowing or make cuts to other programmes.
Other proposals are likely to include additional shared ownership schemes and a transparent land registry to reveal the extent to which forms of land ownership were driving up land prices. Lyons also wants housing associations to be liberated from their balance sheets and to work with the construction industry to build additional housing.
Underlying the evolving report are two highly controversial ideas. First, Lyons suggests there will have to be more top-down powers to use currently protected green land on the edges of cities. Second, the same kind of authority will have to be used to override local opposition to new housing. As ministers have discovered, there will be aggressive opposition both nationally and locally to such proposals, especially in London's green belt.
No government has proved capable of defeating this powerful coalition which exists to protect England's green and pleasant land. Would Labour really want to take on such a massive lobby?

I work in close quarters with machinery and equipment. Normally jeans will do just fine, but company policy is such that denims are not allowed. Yo9ur slim fit pants are perfect in that the material is durable and does not snag on things the way loose fitting garments do. I expect to get years of usage since the fabric does look like it is made for it and the price for the pants are reasonable for the design usage. Well worth the investment!
I'm a field service tech. I'm in and out of my car all day. I was looking for a pair of pants that are comfortable and tough. I was wearing docker's. These are by far a better choice.
I bought these for work around the garage and they are comfortable, lightweight and fairly priced. The sizing is my only concern: I am a 6'3" man weighing 185 pounds, so I purchased the medium/tall coveralls. The fitment is perfect except for the length of the torso. If I raise my arms over hear or squat down, I get a bit of a wedgie, but I feel that if I purchased large/tall coveralls, I would be swimming in them.
Have a pair of Dickies coveralls that I have had for years. They are worn so I decided to get a new pair and was worried that the new ones would not be as comfortable. I was very happily mistaken! Love my new ones and won't part with either pair.
I got these for my husband ..he has another pair he has worn out and are too small. But he wears them because their his favorites.. I bout him a brand new pair for Easter.... He was so happy...however I had to wash them a dozen times to make them soft. But they are now his favorite ones..I reccomend these to any man who wants a good pair of overalls.
I have bought these bibs several times for my husband to work in. He wants to know what have you done to the pockets?! the front pockets on these new ones are shorter (inside) and pointed where his others were deeper and see more squared...better for carrying hand tools when your hands are full. He says you've short-changed the front pockets and he doesn't like them as well! Can you go back and make future ones with the deeper pockets?
Haven't worn them yet. Sizing chart confusing. I am size 8- chart says I am a 16! Sent those back for a 12- still too large. I am taking them to a seamstress for alterations; other wise exactly what I wanted.
The pants are OK, but the belt loop on them is BAD fashion or NO! It will wear out before the normal belt loops and then I'll be stuck! BAD decision on whoever decided to put those belt loops on!
Flex regular fit straight leg pants are perfect for me. They fit well even after washing and drying. I have been delighted to find pants that actually are the size they say they are. Just good Old American Pants for the working man.
I disagree with the reviews that say these run small and that you should buy one size larger than normal. I received two pairs, size 32" waist, and they measure right at 35" around through the belt loops, exactly the same as my "Other leading brand" cargos. Dirty little secret - most men's pants run 3" or so larger than the labeled size. I don't know why, but I suppose it's so we can feel better about ourselves while we're lying about our small waistlines. :-)
I purchased these for my grandfather, and when he received them and tried them on he was overjoyed!!!! He said he has never owned a pair of overalls that fit so perfectly!!!! He loves them, comfortable, keeps him covered and they're not too big or too small, just right!!!
By far the most comfortable work pants.I will buy again when a sale comes up. Very satisfied
Fit great and very durable they are perfect for storing my phone in the small side pocket.
Ordered these on behalf of my husband who is still wearing shorts from 10+ years ago. He claims he can't find jean shorts he likes, leave it to his wife to find a stylish pair of jeans shorts from this decade ;-) He's very pleased with my selection! Thank you Dickies!
I bought these pants in black last year and they have held up really great. Very comfortable and warm...great for the Winter months. They also repell water or any liquid that you might spill on them. I have spilled water on them a few times and the water just beads up and rolls off. They are also great because you can dress them up or down. I wear them to work with dress flats and a nice shirt or I can wear them out jogging with a t-shirt and sneakers. My only complaint is that they were a ... little too short. I am 5'7 and don't consider myself tall, I just wished that they were maybe an inch longer.
I bought these to exercise in when the weather gets cooler. I tried them on when they arrived and love them. Can't wait for cooler weather.
Perfect for any weather,any outfit,and looks great feels great absoutly the best, good for work and great style
Great, warm, heavy-duty jacket! Got for a great price!
Wonderful Went to 4 stores an y'all was the only ones who had what I wanted
I bought 3 pairs of these for my husband. He loves how they are to work in as he works outside all day. My complaint is after 2 washes one of the pair has a hole in them. Not sure if I just got an unlucky pair or if the others will soon wear out. I've never had any other clothes rip like that just from my washer. If the others hold up I'll take my loss and buy another pair bc like I said early he really does like how they feel to work in the heat all day.
I bought these for my son. He loves them. He likes the color (gray) as well.
Bought it a couple of weeks ago, fits great! Great for working in the hot summer days.
If you are looking for a good summer shirt & you work outdoors, this is the shirt for you..!!..They breath well during the hot summer months & wash well. They are also stain resistant. My husband will not wear any other shirt other then the Carhartt Men's Force T-shirt.
I like these pants to work in because they are 100% cotton so they're cooler. They also are high waisted so there's no plumbers crack when you bend over. I've bought the ladies painters pants and that's an issue with those. The only problem with these is that they seem to keep shrinking in length and everywhere else over several washes.
Happy to say that we ( the Fairfield Four ) a triditional Gospel Group use the painter's pants as proforming uniforms. We would love to add more outfits from your company if possible. Maybe an endorsement on your products ?
Only found these gloves in a retail store once and love them. Ordered 2 pair as back ups. Great light work gloves.
I use these gloves daily. They are superior in make and material. I highly recommend them. One Great Pair of Gloves...!
I beat the heck out out my jean at work and Dickies really take a beating. I like the relaxed fit too
I bought these pants to round out my work week attire. Having worn similar work pants I was surpraised by the softness and fit. They are a happy fit between relaxed and loose fit. So for guys like me with a little extra meat on my legs and seat these fit very comfortably.
These were a Christmas gift. Quality made gloves for cold weather. Not for gripping but lifting and simply for staying warm while working outside. The leather is thick and durable.
For comfortable wear inside and out with great sun protection, these shirts rate 100%. They hold up to numerous times in the washer and come out looking like new. They're more than worth their cost.
Too big will need to return for a smaller size. Liked the quality of the item
I have a welding shop and have found that these gloves hold up better than other brands.
Excellent product! Great quality and highly recommended

While it may not be difficult to buy replacement parts for Nissan vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to maintain your car or truck. Nissan automobile owners have become used to a certain level of fuel efficiency when driving their 810 around town. It's not every day that you realize that you have to buy a replacement Tie Rod to repair your vehicle. Auto enthusiasts appreciate the dependability built into each Nissan, and understand that only top quality repair 810 parts will suffice when your car or truck needs fixing.
If we only drove in straight lines, then none of our vehicles would need any steering components. That would surely not be a pleasurable experience for Nissan 810 owners, and it would also mean that tie rods weren't necessary. The tie rod ends on your vehicle connect the center link or the steering rack to the spindles, allowing the wheels to pivot and turn. A broken Nissan 810 tie rod means your steering is compromised and you will not be able to drive safely.
Get your 810 back on the road with the highest quality repair parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents available with enough expertise to help you purchase the correct Nissan 810 part for your project or repair.

Investors urged to hold nerve in crises
The first four months of this year have brought some of the worst natural disasters the world has seen.
First was a major earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand that destroyed billions of dollars' worth of properties and businesses. Then, on March 11, Japan was hit with a double whammy of a huge earthquake and a tsunami, which also triggered a nuclear radiation crisis.
The unrest in the Middle East has added another worrying factor for investors looking to park their money in safe investments.
However, according to strategists and fund managers, these disasters should not significantly affect global economic growth or derail the two-year market rally.
Britain's Barclays Wealth advises investors to remain positioned and benefit from a resilient recovery.
'While we remain optimistic about the prospects for the global economy, we still urge investors to be on their guard as we all find it difficult to respond rationally to crises, and the financial costs of over-reaction can be high. Amidst these near-term uncertainties, we recommend investors take this opportunity to stay positioned and benefit from a resilient recovery,' says Manpreet Gill, Asia strategist at Barclays Wealth.
The investment bank and fund house also suggests four investment ideas for the second quarter.
Barclays says the United States equity market has shown sustainable momentum. Economic activity indicators in the country continue to strengthen, while consumer spending is holding up. Corporate profits have enjoyed their fastest rebound on record and US consumers appear increasingly resilient. The unemployment situation in the largest economy in the world is also improving.
Secondly, the mainland, which is the second-largest economy in the world, has vowed to tackle rising inflation, which is slowly getting out of hand, and target sustainable economic growth in the coming years.
The mainland has already launched its 12th five-year plan, which seeks to address rising inequality by targeting sustainable economic growth with an emphasis on domestic demand.
Barclays Wealth believes the plan will provide impetus for the stabilisation and recovery of Chinese equities as the prime lending rate is nearing its normalised level of about 7 per cent and inflation is likely to moderate during the second half of this year in the absence of commodity price shocks.
Barclays Wealth says it favours North Asian equities, particularly the stock markets of Taiwan and South Korea. These cyclical markets look good value and are best placed for the increased focus on developed world growth.
Lastly, Barclays Wealth recommends scaling back positions on fixed income and looking towards convertibles and floating rate notes. With a continued economic recovery, central banks will eventually raise interest rates.

A report released today showed the respiratory illness that caused 13 hospitalizations this time last year has been virtually undetected thus far.
Dr. Danuta Skowronski says, they'll continue to monitor for signs of the virus, particularly among youth.
"Among children, boys were hospitalized at higher rate than girls, and asthma is a known risk factor for sever Enterovirus D68 outcomes."
Last year, the hospital saw kids had a 15 to 20 per cent increased risk of retracting the virus than adults.

Will ESM recapitalize banks directly?
According EU Economics and Monetary Affairs Commissioner Olli Rehn, Еurozone finance ministers are expected to agree the rules governing how the European Stability Mechanism could directly recapitalize struggling banks on a today's meeting in Luxembourg.
Allowing the ESM to recapitalize banks directly could be a powerful tool in ending the region's three year recession by breaking the link between banks and government institutions, Rehn says. The fund could house 50 to 70 bln euros which would be available for direct recapitalization as early as autumn of 2014 if the Eurogroup is able to reach an agreement.
ESM's direct recapitalization tools could be the first step of creating a united banking system across the eurozone.

I just got back from our elk hunt and it was pretty disapointing -- only one cow for the whole camp. I go to school in Fort Collins and have not hunted anywhere in close proximity to the town. Does anyone have any suggestions for a chance at a meat bull within maybe 50 miles of Fort Collins. I've heard Cameron Pass can be alright and drove over it on the way back from our hunt but it just looked real thick. What about the comanche peaks. I really have no idea. Thanks in advance for any help.

That was the word from offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee on Monday night following a two-hour Auburn practice in full pads.
Avery Young began the 2012 season as the starter, but played in three games before being lost for the season due to a shoulder injury. Now a redshirt freshman, Young has been challenging sophomore Patrick Miller, who started the rest of the season at right tackle last season.
Redshirt freshman Shon Coleman is also competing for the right tackle spot.
"We've got a pretty good idea," Lashlee said when asked about who is No. 1 at right tackle. "We haven't etched anything in stone yet.
"Pat Miller has been working there a lot the last couple of days as well as Shon Coleman some. Avery Young is still taking reps there, but he has also been taking reps inside at (left) guard as well. We haven't decided anything yet, but we think we're getting pretty close."
Shon Coleman is making a strong comeback from cancer.
Asked if Young may stay inside at the guard spot where redshirt freshman Alex Kozan has been running with the first team, Lashlee said, "It's possible. As we have gone through camp we're starting to see where we have strengths in certain places on our line. Some guys move around. He's really one of those guys, to be honest with you, that is talented enough to play all five positions. He really is.
"We think he's going to be a big-time player for us," Lashlee said of Young. "You never know. Going through a season in the SEC you're going to have injuries so you're going to have to end up mixing and matching. A lot of that, up to this point, is seeing who we're going to have that can play multiple spots. Probably here in the next day or so we'll go ahead and lock them in for the first game."
Patrick Miller is shown in action during spring drills earlier this year.
Commenting on Miller's preseason performance, the offensive coordinator said, "I think it's been good. He got a lot of reps in the spring and he has really come on as fall camp has gone on. He is a real big strong guy so he is really good in the run game. He has gotten much better in his pass protection so he's been a bright spot in camp, for sure."
Commenting on Kozan, Lashlee said, "Kozan's done a really good job for us. He's a really smart player, he's tough. He's smart, he's tough, I think he's gotten much more athletic. I think his time with Coach (Ryan) Russell has made him much more flexible and athletic. He's been a very solid, steady bright spot on the offensive line for us. We've got a lot of confidence in Alex."
The coach said the Tigers have a chance to go into the season with depth up front and that he has seen the offensive line group mature "a lot" since the end of spring drills.
"You can tell that having 15 days in the spring, having the whole summer on their own, and now having a couple of weeks that they're really starting to gel, even though we moved some guys around there are about seven or eight that really hang in with that first group, and there's no secret that Reese Dismukes is our leader. We expect that group to be the strength of our team, especially early, and I've been really pleased with the progress they've made with Coach (J.B.) Grimes here in fall camp."

Moonlight on Linoleum: A Daughter's Memoirby Terry Helwig, Sue Monk Kidd (Foreword by)

Now in paperback—in the bestselling tradition of The Glass Castle and The Liar's Club comes the captivating memoir of a young girl forced by her mother's instability to care for her siblings.
Even if others abandon you, you must never abandon yourself.
This simple truth became Terry Helwig's lifeline as she was forced to grow up too soon.
Terry grew up the oldest of six girls in the big-sky country of the American Southwest, where she attended twelve schools in eleven years. Helwig's stepfather Davy, a good-hearted and loving man, proudly purchased a mobile home to enable his family to move more easily from one oil town to another, where Davy eked out a living in the oil fields.
Terry's mother, Carola Jean, a wild rose whose love often pierced those who tried to claim her, had little interest in the confines of home and motherhood. In Davy's absence, she sought companionship in local watering holes—a pastime she dubbed "visiting Timbuktu." She repeatedly left Terry in charge of the household and her five younger sisters.
Despite Carola Jean's genuine attempts to "better herself," her life spiraled ever downward as Terry struggled to keep the family whole. In the midst of transience and upheaval, Terry and her sisters forged an uncommon bond of sisterhood that withstood the erosion of Davy and Carola Jean's marriage. But ultimately, to keep her own dreams alive, Terry had to decide when to hold on to what she loved and when to let go.
Unflinching in its portrayal, yet told with humor and compassion, Terry Helwig's luminous memoir, Moonlight on Linoleum, explores a family's inner and outer landscapes of hope, despair, and redemption. It will make you laugh, cry, and hunger for more.

Read an Excerpt
Emerson, Iowa
"I left your Dad," Mama told me more than once, "because I didn't want to kill him."
She wasn't kidding.
Mama said she stood at the kitchen counter, her hand touching the smooth wooden handle of a butcher knife. In an argument that grew more heated, Mama felt her fist close around the handle. For a brief moment, she deliberated between slashing our father with the knife or releasing it harmlessly back onto the counter and walking away.
My sister Vicki was ten months old; I was two. Mama was seventeen.
By all accounts, Mom and Dad loved one another, even though Mama lied about her age. Mama told my dad that she had celebrated her eighteenth birthday; Dad, twenty-two, believed her. But the State of Iowa insisted on seeing Mama's record of birth before granting them a marriage license. Only then did Mama confess her lie to my dad. He broke down and cried. Mama was fourteen, not eighteen. Still, despite the deceit and age difference, on Wednesday, May 26, 1948, Carola Jean Simmonds and Donald Lee Skinner said "I do." Mama's mother signed her consent.
Mama definitely looked older than fourteen. She had thick black hair that fell around her face, accenting the widow's peak she inherited from her mother. Her hazel eyes reflected not a shy, timid girl, but held a womanly gaze that belied her years. Physically, she was curved and bosomed. But she was not pregnant. According to my birth certificate, I came along a full eleven months after they married, proving their union sprang from something other than necessity.
Part of Mama's motivation may have sprung from her eagerness to leave home. Her older brother, my Uncle Gaylen, witnessed the difficult relationship Mama had with their mother.
"This is hard to tell," he said. "When your mom was just a baby, I remember walking alongside her baby carriage with our mom. I must have been about eight. Carola was crying and crying and Mom got so mad. She stopped the carriage, walked to a nearby tree, and yanked off a switch. She returned to the carriage and whipped your mom for crying. I couldn't believe she was whipping a baby."
Uncle Gaylen fumbled for words, attributing his mom's state of mind to my grandfather Gashum's infidelity. "I think Mom took out all her frustrations on Carola," he said.
I wish I could scrub that stain from our family's history. I wish I could reach back in time, snatch the switch from Grandma's raised fist, and snap it across my knee. It might have made a difference. Mama's life might have taken a different turn.
She might not have been so desperate for tenderness.
By the time Mama turned fourteen, she had fallen for my dad. Instead of protesting when Mama asked to marry him, Grandma extolled my father's family, told Mama she was lucky to have him, and readily signed permission for Mama to marry. With the words "I do" uttered in the sleepy town of Glenwood, Iowa, Mama became a fourteen-year-old tenant farmer's wife.
Around that time, Mama wrote a couple of jingles and sold them to Burma Shave as part of their road-side advertising campaign. Mama liked to drive by a particular set of red and white signs posted successively along the highway near Glenwood. The words on the signs, which built toward a punchline farther down the road, were Mama's words, right there in plain daylight, for the whole world to see.
His cheek
Was rough
His chick vamoosed
And now she won't
Come home to roost
Burma Shave
It's impossible to know which jingles Mama wrote, but, all her life, she loved the word vamoose.
During the first year of their marriage, my parents moved into a house without running water, off County Road L-45 not far from the Waubonsie Church and Cemetery outside Glenwood. Dad, a farmer, loved the land and spent long hours plowing, planting, and tending the livestock. His mother, my Grandma Skinner, lived four miles down the gravel road. Grandma Skinner had raised six children while slopping the pigs, sewing, planting a garden, canning, baking, and putting hearty meals on the table three times a day. I think Dad assumed all women inherited Grandma's Hestian gene.
But not his child-bride, Carola Jean. She could write a jingle, but she knew nothing about cooking, gardening, cleaning, or running a household—not even how to iron.
"Your mom couldn't keep up with the house or the laundry," Aunt Dixie, my dad's sister, said years later. "If she ran out of diapers, she'd pin curtains or dishtowels on you, anything she could get her hands on."
I doubt Mama knew what to do with a screaming colicky baby either, one who smelled of sour milk and required little sleep. In a house without running water, I must have contributed to a legion of laundry and fatigue. The doctor finally determined I suffered from a milk allergy and switched me to soy milk, which cured my colic, but not my aversion to sleep.
"In desperation," Mama recounted many times, "I scooted your crib close enough to the bed to reach my hand through the slats to hold your hand. Finally you'd settle down, but—" Mama would draw in a long breath here—"if I let go, you'd wake up and start crying all over again. You always wanted to be near me. Sometimes I cried, too."
Without fail, the next part of her story included a comparison between me and my sister Vicki, born fourteen months later.
"Now, Vicki was just the opposite," Mama marveled. "I'd have to keep thumping her on her heel just to keep her awake long enough to eat."
Mama's retelling of that story during our growing-up years made me feel like thumping Vicki, too, and it had nothing to do with staying awake. I pictured Vicki sleeping peacefully and wished I had been an easier child. More than once I wanted to shout, I can't help what I did as a baby! But I held my tongue; I was good at that.
By the time Vicki joined our household, we lived in a former rural schoolhouse near Emerson, Iowa. It was here that Mama broke.
She was sixteen.
No matter how you do the math, the equation always comes out the same; Mama was little more than a child herself. The rigors of marriage, farm life, and two girls under the age of two finally came crashing down on her.
Mama had adopted a kitten, much to my delight and my dad's dismay. Dad did not want animals in the house. But Mama stood her ground; the kitten stayed. Mama loved watching it pounce on a string and lap milk from a bowl. She loved hearing it purr and worked with me to be gentle with it.
One afternoon, in the driveway, Dad ran over the kitten. Mama could not stop crying.
"He said it was an accident and he was sorry," Mama told me years later. "But I never believed him." She jutted out her jaw. "He didn't want that kitten in the house."
I find it unlikely that my dad intentionally ran over a kitten. He had a reputation for being soft when it came to killing animals, even to put food on the table. But I do believe some part of their marriage died with that kitten.
When Mama found herself clutching the butcher knife, she said she thought about me and Vicki, what using the knife would mean, how it would carve a different course for each of us. I'll be forever grateful that Mama fast-forwarded to the consequences in her mind. She released her grip on the handle and chose divorce over murder.
I have only a single flash of memory of leaving Iowa.
I'm sitting on the plush seat of a train, the nappy brocade scratching my thighs. I'm not afraid, because I'm pressed against Mama's arm; I can feel the warmth of her against my side as she rocks rhythmically. She holds Vicki (who no doubt was sleeping). I repeatedly click my black patent shoes together and apart, together and apart, noticing the folded lace tops of my anklets hanging just over the edge of the cushion. The world is a blur passing by the train window. Clickety-clack. Clickety-clack. Watch your back. We are headed west to Fort Morgan, Colorado.

Do you ever read a book and when you finish it, you want to email the author and just thank them for writing it? That's how I feel about this book. As someone who grew up with an unstable mother, I felt that I related so closely with Terry (although her situation was much more extreme than mine). I appreciated that Terry wrote, not only of the bad times, but also the good ones. The times that bring hope and joy and just a little bit of peace. The conflicting feelings about whether to love her mother or despise her so strongly reminds me of my own feelings towards my mother. How do you hate the person who has the capacity to show you so much love? As the story went on, I found myself wondering what the other sisters' thoughts were during some of those times. What were they feeling? How did they perceive that particular situation? What were her Daddy's thoughts during all of this? I wanted to know everything there was to know about this family. And after I turned to the last page and finished the book, I put it down and just sighed, both in sadness and wistfulness. Her strength is admirable. Her writing is beautiful. Her story is unforgettable.
when her mother was too unstable to be relied on, the author was blessed to have grandparents and a stepfather Daddy to help her grow up knowing love and kindness. a testimony to the resilience of the human spirit, as Tery begins mothering her younger sisters when she is only 10. in spite of the matter-of-fact tone and some humor, this was depressing for me to read. I imagine the book may resonate more with adults who were abandoned as children or who grew up with a severely dysfunctional or mentally ill parent. it's not surprising that the author chose pyschological counseling as a career.
This is a cross between Glass Castle & Liars Club. Great book.
Excellent book. Well written. This is on mynreread list for sure
Loved this book!
This book was a good and very sad tale of a family's struggles, I found parts hard to read as it was such a sad childhood for the 5 sisters. Though through it all they stick together and the eldest holds the family together. The fathers of the girls also really try, but the mother has mental issues. The ending does show the strength of the girls especially the older girls to try to make it trough.
This could have been a good book. The subject was interesting, but the writing style was not. The facts of the story are told, but the emotion and details are not there to draw you in. The motivations of many of the people in the story are completely unknown. I was very frustrated by this book. I think the author necessarily had to distance herself from some of the emotion while she was growing up, but based on some parts at the end, I don't think she has still reconciled and processed some of it. There are many better memoirs out there.
I am always amazed at the resilience of children and the skills they learn from some of the most challenging childhood situations. The hope that is a perpetual thread weaves a sense of trust and belief in the future
Ms. Helwig had my undivided attention with the first sentence of the Prologue—"I could not find my Mother's grave". She proceeded to take me on a spellbinding journey from the Riverside Cemetery and back to her childhood. Let me advise you, with the number of moves she and her family made, it would make a map into a crazy quilt. Carola "Jean" or "Mama" was a child raising children. After a rough relationship with her own Mother, Jean married at 14 to Donald Skinner, a tenant farmer. Their union was not out of necessity but out of love. Everything was a learning experience for the young wife and mother,(having given birth to Terry ) who knew nothing about country living and caring for a Husband and family—especially when baby Vicki came along 2 years later. Slowly, Jean and Don's marriage started falling apart. She packed up and with the girls, headed home to Fort Morgan, Colorado. Jean joined her divorced Sister; Eunice, and her young Daughter; Nancy. As much as Jean had a good heart where helping animals and down-trodden souls were concerned, she didn't blink an eyelash when she tried to give her oldest to a Great-Aunt who lived outside of Fort Morgan. Thankfully, this did not happen. Her now former Husband was serving in Korea, and her divorced Sister disappeared from time to time, leaving young Nancy in their care. What was she to do? Life was chaotic and bleak, when, while working at a drug store soda fountain, she met a seismic driller (a "doodlebugger") named Davy from East Texas. They had a brief courtship and despite the fact she really didn't love him, they married and almost a year and a half later welcomed daughter, Patricia into the world. With Davy's absences due to his oil drilling job, Jean again became restless. It wasn't long before Terry and Vicki were sent back to their biological Father, Don in Glenwood, Iowa, with the promise it was only for a short visit and she would come back for them. Within this time, she had also divorced Davy. With some semblance of normalcy and love, in their lives due to their Dad and Grandparents, Terry and Vicki flourished –with Terry praying their Mother would return for them. Don met and married Cathy and he moved to Omaha, leaving the girls in the care of their Grandparents. Don and Cathy left Omaha and moved back to the farm after learning Cathy was pregnant. Living quarters became cramped and punishments were given out liberally by Cathy. To complicate things further, Jean, now remarried again to Davy, returned to take the girls back for a "short visit", but when she learned of the spankings, decided the visit would become permanent and that the girls were not to contact their Father again until after they turned 18. Patricia, living with Davy's parents in Texas, would join the group. "Squeezing a nine month pregnancy into a 5 month time slot", their Mother gave birth to a fourth Daughter, named Brenda. With Davy's increased absences and necessary moves due to his work, the light began to dim on their marriage once again, and restlessness, infidelity and alcohol again played havoc in all of their lives. Terry cared for her younger siblings with motherly skills, sometimes sacrificing her own childhood happiness. As soon as the girls got acclimated to their new school and had begun to make some friends, they found themselves packing up their belongings and moving once more—this time to Ozona, Texas—close to Davy's work and where Jean discovered s

KC apollo pros or KC daylighters
which would you recommend...
KC HiLites 6" Apollo Pro Series 100 Watt Long Range Lamp system
KC HiLiTES 130 Watt Daylighter lamp system
I put on the windshield mount KC slimlite 130W long range. They are about $175.00
Where are you putting them?
I've never seen the Apollo's but have had Daylighters on a couple different jeeps and loved them.
KC HiLiTES 130 Watt Daylighter lamp system
I have the KC HiLiTES 100 watt's on my front bumper where the stock fog lights would have been on the 2000 tj. The lights are amazing they go farther than highbeams, and also stay in the "Long range" pattern without spreading out too much. They are amazing. if you want your lights to be in a tight pattern go with the KC HiLiTES. I never seen the Apollo's though. I am sure you will be pleased with whatever ones you decide on. I love mine and I am so glad I didn't cheap out like a lot of people do on lights. Good luck and hope that helped some.
I just picked up four of the KC's and they are crazy bright even at extreme long range. Definitely not something I can run on the road. I picked them up used so I dont know the model or wattage. I got 4 of the stainless steel ones for $100. I still need to get the relays before I wire them but I hope to get this done sunday (today). Two are going on the front bumper and two on the windshield. I bought used KC windshield brackets for $10.

Through the efforts of Network for Education, Children and Youth (NECY) of Sri Lanka and their participation in the Aflatoun program, Sri Lankan children took part in Global Money Week 2016 as part of their celebrations for Aflatoun Day.
NECY observed Aflatoun Day in Central province at the Miracle Kids Pre School Wattegama, and were joined by 20 other participating Preschools. Chief guest, Mr. Gamini Wijebandara, Minister of the Central Provincial Council spoke at the event and guests from MelJol (India), NECY Sri Lanka, and the Central Province Education Directorate were present. A key attraction during the program was an exhibition at The Miracle Kids; those who were in attendance gave very positive feedback about the event. Throughout the exbhition, teachers and students worked together to represent the Aflatoun theme through wall displays, wall paintings, Aflatot garden displays, visual aids, and furniture decor. Children performed dances, story-telling and role play, which linked with the Aflatoun module and highlighted social and financial education for youth.
In the Uva province, Global Money Week was celebrated as part of Aflatoun Day through an event with school children, their teachers and parents. The Provincial Director of Education, Mr. Rathnayake, was the Chief Guest at the celebration and the Zonal Director of Education, officers from Bank of Ceylon and Peoples' Bank, representatives from NECY and MelJol, and media contacts attended the event.
Youngsters also participated in a Skype call with children from Pakistan and exchanged their views on social and financial education for young people.

- Participants:
- Network for Education, Children, and Youth (NECY)
- Aflatoun
- Date of the event:
- 17th of March
- Number of children reached:
- 200
Through the efforts of Network for Education, Children and Youth of Sri Lanka and their participation in the Aflatoun program, Sri Lankan children took part in Global Money Week 2015 and Aflatoun Day.
As a close partner of Aflatoun in Sri Lanka, Network for Education, Children and Youth (NECY) of Sri Lanka organized multiple activities through the various Aflatoun programs and Aflatoun clubs across the country to spread awareness about social and financial education. In these sessions, there was a particular focus on children knowing their rights and responsibilities towards their community, the importance of savings, how they could start saving and, most importantly, understand why they are saving. It is through this spectrum of messages that both organizations aim to bring about a long term positive change in children's belief in themselves and their behavior towards money management.
Aflatoun Skype calls were organized for the children to share their thoughts with their peers across the globe. In the process, the children were able to realize that the goal of achieving social and financial education and inclusion is a shared cause pursued globally.

In- and out-of-school children in government schools and from the plantations learned the lessons of the Aflatoun programme through 'child clubs'. NECY also introduced a programme for disabled children and street children. Social campaigns in the project included raising awareness on saving finances, natural resources and local values. They were also taught about and encouraged to start-up financial enterprises including planting and selling vegetables, collecting waste materials for recycling. These ideas were also presented at children's enterprise fairs in schools.

Poor Jean Harlow! To have her memory degraded in this way is sad. Based on a muckraking sensationalized bio of the late actress that has since been discredited… More Poor Jean Harlow! To have her memory degraded in this way is sad. Based on a muckraking sensationalized bio of the late actress that has since been discredited this shallow exercise in fiction takes someone whose life was interesting and unfortunately scandal ridden and makes things up out of whole cloth while ignoring or falsifying the actual events. Marilyn Monroe, a great admirer of Harlow, had wanted to to do a film on her but when offered a similar script to this stated "I hope they don't do that to me when I'm dead" which should clarify the value of this picture. As to the performances everybody except Angela Lansbury as Mama Jean is either bland or terrible. Carroll Baker, who can be a fine actress, is all wrong in the lead. She's certainly a beautiful woman but has neither the allure nor the charisma of the original Jean. Skip this shiny junk and seek out some of Harlow's actual films. Red Dust, Bombshell, Libeled Lady or Dinner at Eight are all fine examples of her peerless work.

Weekly Overview: FDA Approves AquaBounty GM Salmon for Consumption24 November 2015
ANALYSIS - The biggest headline this week is that after a long wait, AquaBounty has finally received US FDA approval for its GM AquAdvantage® salmon.
The FDA determined that AquAdvantage salmon meets all the statutory requirements for safety and effectiveness under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and that food from the GM salmon is as safe to eat and as nutritious as food from other non-GM Atlantic salmon.
Commenting on the decision, Ronald L. Stotish, AquaBounty CEO, stated: "AquAdvantage salmon is a game-changer that brings healthy and nutritious food to consumers in an environmentally responsible manner without damaging the ocean and other marine habitats. Using land-based aquaculture systems, this rich source of protein and other nutrients can be farmed close to major consumer markets in a more sustainable manner."
In other news, the UK is investing in the sustainable supply of cleaner-fish for use in the Scottish salmon industry.
Specifically, two new projects initiated by the Scottish Aquaculture Innovation Centre (SAIC) will look at improving the sustainable supply of lumpfish and lumpfish welfare.
The projects are worth £2.9 million are have received funding from Benchmark Animal Health, Marine Harvest Scotland, BioMar, The Scottish Salmon Company, Otter Ferry Seafish and the University of Stirling.
SAIC, alongside the Highlands and Islands Enterprise, is also taking part in a trial to test the commercial viability of a mussel hatchery in Scotland.
The 30-month project would improve the availability and reliability of mussel spat which could lead to higher productivity in the shellfish industry as well as it supporting rural businesses and jobs.
In disease news, Chile has reported another outbreak of Infectious Salmon Anaemia (ISA) at a salmon farm in the Aysén region.
The HPR 2D variant of the virus was detected in a cage belonging to Blumar Salmon, located in the Ninualac canal, north of the island Melchor.
