As a child, little could raise the hairs on the back of my neck quicker than the opening bars of the Match of the Day theme tune.
All right, a bag of cola bottles had much the same effect, but the point is the BBC's football coverage used to be good. Really good. You knew that if you passed off the pundits' opinions as your own on a Monday morning, you were on solid ground.
However, with Ian Wrong Wrong Wrong rambling like a tube drunk and John Motson talking about "winning leads" (as opposed to...), the Beeb are peddling the kind of nonsense that makes you wish for Big Ron's return to the studio.
The prospect of last night's friendly against Hungary didn't exactly have me salivating, but when I pressed 1 and saw a studio line-up that included Lee Dixon, who may well have interesting things to say if only his voice wasn't instantly soporific, and Wright, whose contributions fall some way short of the average fanzone goon, my finger instinctively hovered over the 2 button, where I could enjoy Springwatch with Bill Oddie.
Admittedly, Steven Gerrard's dive was far more convincing than your average Didier Drogba triple pike, but that doesn't make it right. Unless of course you're Wrighty, who I sincerely hope is being paid to behave like an idiot for 'comedy value'. "I think that's good play from Gerrard," he bleated, "Other teams will do it against us so we should do it." Exactly the kind of insight we pay our licence fees for, eh?
And if your desire to live hadn't already dropped dangerously close to Find A Tall Building, Motty was joined by Mark Lawrenson in the gantry. In fairness, Lawro's inane pleasantries would be harmless enough (and the disdainful pause with which he met Motson's request for an appraisal of the absent Wayne Rooney brought a smile) if they were backed up by Motson pre-1990.
These days, poor old Motty can barely make out his hand in front of his face. Take Paul Robinson's late save from Laszlo Eger last night, which Motson missed entirely, but managed to get very animated about moments after Lawrenson told him what happened.
In fact, the man in sheepskin is making a habit of repeating whatever his co-commentator says and pretending he got there first. My personal favourite came during Liverpool's FA Cup meeting with Chelsea.
Lawrenson: "Somebody's thrown a bottle on to the pitch there."
Motson: [Every sinew quivering with excitement] "I think somebody's just thrown a bottle on to the pitch there Mark!"
And these are the people who will guide us through the World Cup. I suppose we should be grateful Peter Schmeichel's short tenure on the sofa isn't to be renewed. But still, God help us.

Scene 42Mature
Medomai runs to Amalthea, taking the knife away from her.
MEDOMAI: What are you doing?
AMALTHEA, turning, tears streaming down her cheeks: Isn't this what you wanted?
MEDOMAI, a confused look crossing his face: I would never wish death unto anyone--
AMALTHEA, interrupting him: No, you wanted misery. You wanted pain. But I'm ending it all and giving you the final satisfaction.
MEDOMAI: What are you talking about?
AMALTHEA: Don't pretend you don't know. She takes the knife back. Let me end it!
MEDOMAI: I won't let--
Daedalus comes outside, interrupting them. Both Medomai and Amalthea turn to look at him.
DAEDALUS, shouting to Medomai: Back away from her! Get behind me!
Medomai, now frightened, does as he's told.
DAEDALUS, whispering to Medomai: She's insane. Don't go anywhere near her.
AMALTHEA: Daedalus!
MEDOMAI: What do we do now? She's going to come after us.
DAEDALUS: We've got to kill her now. Like a lame horse.
Daedalus pulls a knife from his pocket, handing it to Medomai.

Essential Information
Instead of specializing in an area such as human resources or accounting, participants in a generalist BBA program study numerous business-centric fields. For instance, this 4-year degree program integrates management, finance, marketing, entrepreneurship, computer information systems and accounting into its curriculum. Through simulations and projects, students learn how to become business leaders. Entrance into a program requires at least a high school diploma or its GED equivalent.
Bachelor of Business Administration
In a business administration program, students take general education courses and core courses focusing on business subjects. Courses survey many business subjects, computer-related subjects and decision-making techniques. Topics covered include:
- Accounting and statistics
- Business technology
- Economics and finance
- Business communications
- Management and marketing
- Business writing and law
Popular Career Options
A generalist business administration degree opens up career options in different business sectors. Entry-level positions in accounting, payroll management, project management or marketing may be sought after. Students may start their own business or pursue careers such as:
- Account manager
- Sales manager
- Human resources assistant
- Payroll clerk
- Administrative manager
Employment Outlook and Salary Info
Career information provided by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) indicates that employment growth for many of these positions is expected to be about as fast as average when compared to other occupations. For instance, between 2014-2024, opportunities for administrative services managers are expected to increase 8%, financial clerks 6% and sales managers 5%. In May 2015, the BLS reported that administrative services managers earned a median annual wage of $86,110, financial clerks $37,040, and sales managers $113,860.
Continuing Education
Graduates of a business administration program may decide to continue their education in a graduate program, such as a Master of Business Administration (MBA). Students may pursue advanced education to help them earn a promotion or have better job opportunities. Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) programs are also available in business administration and may be entered into by bachelor's degree holders. These programs could lead to positions in academia or research in the field of business.
Students who decide to enter into the job market upon graduation from a bachelor's program may be required to complete continuing education in order to stay current in changing technology and industry trends.
Bachelor of Business Administration programs cover various aspects of business management from accounting to communications. Upon completion, graduates may consider pursuing a career within the administrative field as well as furthering their education at the graduate or post-graduate level for better career opportunities.

Tutu is a dhimmi
Background of my avatar: [link to en.wikipedia.org]
The religion of submission cannot survive an open and honest discussion of its convoluted and foolish scriptures, its sexually perverted terrorist prophet, or its deceitful and demented god. When Western leaders become unified and resolute in their hostility to Islam's violent and ungodly beginnings, Muslims will flee the religion because they will be horrified by its endorsement of terrorism, mass murder, slave trading, plunder, kidnapping, and rape.
If Muslims & their apologists really want to cure "Islamophobia," here is an easy way. Focus their indignation on Muslims committing violent acts in the name of Islam, not on non-Muslims reporting on those acts.

Ecclesiastes 10:2 "The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left."
We are all born ignorant, but it takes a lot of work to keep looking the other way to remain stupid.
Islam is not a race - the racism rant is lame, used by the intellectually lazy to derail the debate.
Democrats do and always have loved poor people. . . they continue to make so many of them.
"Evil is." And being a useful idiot enabling it is no excuse.

The South African cleric remains outspoken on international affairs, and has been a fierce critic of Israel's treatment of the Palestinians as well as China's treatment of Tibetans.
In August, he pulled out of a leadership summit in Johannesburg because he refused to share a platform with former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Archbishop Tutu said Mr Blair and former US President George W Bush should be tried at the International Criminal Court in The Hague for lying about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction in order to justify invading the country.
Mr Blair issued a strongly worded defence of his decisions, rejecting the archbishop's allegations as "completely wrong as every single independent analysis of the evidence has shown".

N.H. firefighters hot over police ploy
Editor's Note: Police in Newport, N.H recently apprehended a suspect by disguising themselves as firefighters, setting off a fire alarm in the building where he was holed up, and nabbing the guy when he opened his door.
A key to effective policing is creativity and this operation—conducted in collaboration between Newport Police Chief David Hoyt and Fire Chief Wayne Conroy—seems to be an outstanding example of some very clever thinking. A known felon with a violent history points a shotgun at a lone officer who had responded to a noise complaint; officer leaves to begin planning suspect's arrest; suspect is believed to be in the apartment with a one-year-old and a woman; Chief Hoyt and Chief Conroy agree on the use of fire gear; police conduct the operation and arrest the suspect with no shots fired, nobody hurt. Nice job…right?
Well, not in everyone's eyes. Some firefighters are concerned that the Trojan horse tactic damaged their image as "rescuers." The president of Professional Firefighters of New Hampshire expressed concern that this approach could endanger firefighters and paramedics because "criminals no longer realize who's there to help and who's there to apprehend."

Two Summers PastMature
"We all know the rules? Then ready … set … GO!!" Violet giggled with pleasure as a monstrous crowd of teenagers dispersed to their various bases to strategize. The game they were all so psyched for was one invented solely for them. It was the perfect combination of Capture-the-Flag and Hide-and-Seek: all strategy and supremely intense. They often set the scene for their battles at local parks, and everyone made sure to be there for it. She paused for a second to watch everybody high-tail it before heading to her own base, consisting of some of her closer girlfriends. She walked into the circle of girls, talking smack about how easily they would be kicking butts. Charlotte, her second in command, hushed everyone at her arrival and took her place beside her. It was made pretty clear how seriously this game was being taken by the utter silence and intently listening faces Violet saw around her.
She began, "Friends, classmates, fellow warriors …" There were some muffled giggles at her cliché introduction. "This is more than just a game, ladies. We are fighting for all the heroic women before us. Those that were claimed inferior shall be avenged!" The girls whooped and cheered at their pep talk and soon were preoccupied with their smaller groups and schemes.
Charlotte, however, remained by Violet's side. "Violet … he's here again. And he's watching," she warned her. Violet sighed and turned slowly, looking at the place she knew she would find him. Sure enough, there he stood, leaning against a tree. As always, his deep blue eyes were on Violet. His lips were subtly turned up at the corner; she knew he was enjoying knowing that she was aware of him, but he made no move to come closer.
She turned back to Charlotte with false confidence and pretended he wasn't there. "So let him watch." She brushed a strand of hair out of her face and acted indifferent. Soon, she was drawn back into the competition, and the whistle sounded that the game was on.
Violet scanned the park in search for the perfect hiding place. She quickly settled on hiding behind the outer wall of the playground, and started climbing the rock base. She smiled and leaped down to the otherside the seven foot wall, feeling supremely clever for her feat, and peeked around it to see if the other teams had ventured near.
She didn't notice his approach. She was in the zone and completely oblivious until she felt his hands. Soft as feathers, his fingers grazed across her hips in her low-rise jeans and slithered inward to intertwine in the center of her waist. Goosebumps erupted. He stood so close behind her that she could feel his breath on the back of her neck. If it weren't for how startled she had been, she might have melted right then and there. However, she was unprepared for it, and jumped, turning around to see who had dared touch her.
Thayer's close stance did not waiver as she pivoted. Not realizing how close he had truly been, their lips were a mere inch apart as she met his intense gaze. Shaken, a bit, by his touch still lingering on her skin, she hesitated before increasing the distance between them. She attempted to appear unmoved, "Wha-What do you want from me? Can I help you?"
He didn't reply right away. Instead, he stared intently at her, grinning at how uncomfortable it made her. Finally, he flashed her a brilliant smile and responded simply, "I like you, Violet." She was startled at the sound of her own name. She was paralyzed as Thayer stepped towards her, removing the distance she had gained. She opened her mouth to react, and closed it again; she could think of nothing to say with him so close. She tried once more, but before sound reached her lips, his hand was pressed firmly into the small of her back, and his lips met hers. She relinguished all control to him as he pulled her waist toward him until the small space keeping him from her was gone.
She forgot about the game entirely, and he kissed her hungrily. As she gave into desires to kiss him back, she thought to herself that this was just the beginning.

in the days when we were painted redMature
because i'm bored
why else do something?
just succumb
to this madness
this oh so madness
and leave your sanity
in the rubble
of your mind
just die in these fires
and burn to death
just die in these
fires of hell
and i think
i'm losing it again
with syrupy thick
dread rising in my stomach
and sourness
tainting my throat
and i feel
as though i am sick
even though
there is nothing
wrong with me,
they say.
they say,
they say,
they say.

Dog Protests Shrink Wrap!!!
1 Attachment(s)
Molly loves looking out at the waterfowl and fellow 2 and 4 legged liveaboards. So, when her "Daddy" cut her view off with shrink wrap, Molly got pretty upset and kept barking at him :laugher
Long story short, owner cut out a window for her and then decided to customize it by drawing a dog house. The things we do for our pets...
Way to GO Molly
Nice job.
Why not use clear wrap? We love the extra light in the winter and it is very much like a sun porch. Shamus loves snoozing on deck.
Not my dog/boat.
My neighbor chose the white - no idea why. But this works better for Molly anyway!
OUR dog house
Actually, Molly didn't bark to let me know she was upset about the boat wrapping ruining her view. It was "THE LOOK" that made the window happen!Of course I still get "THE LOOK",constantly it seems, and every look has to be interpreted by me so her needs are dealt with, to her satisfaction of course.
Normally the wrap is clear but this year I had only enough to reach bow to stern and used white to cover the gambrel shaped aft framing. I haven't lost much solar heat at all and have been refinishing, on sunny days with temps in the twentys, what seems to be miles of teak railings while wearing only a T shirt, shorts and Tivas. It sure beats shoveling snow almost daily last year when we stayed in NH and never got covered!
Got to go, I'm getting "THE LOOK" that is unmistakable. Time to walk the wharf!!!

Two senseless tragedies. Two Wednesday memorial services. Central Lakes College's memorial service for Dominique Corder and the memorial service for the victims of Saturday's shootings in Tucson were distinct events but the voices that were heard evoked similar emotions.
CLC football coach Greg Medeck was talking about his quarterback, who was shot on New Year's Day in his hometown of Indianapolis, but he could have been speaking about any of the six murdered Arizona victims or the wounded who may live diminished lives because of the shootings when he spoke of missed opportunities. Medeck identified the loss of seeing Corder fulfill his life's opportunities as the aspect he would miss most because of Corder's death.
In the case of the CLC sophomore and those who were slain or injured in Tucson, precious opportunities will be missed through no fault of their own. Potential will not be fulfilled because murderers violently ended or seriously harmed innocent victims. The losses represent a tremendous waste of human life at a time when we need good people who are willing to step up and do the right thing.
In the case of the politically charged shootings in Arizona, President Barack Obama wisely steered clear of politics, concentrating instead on the heroism that was demonstrated by bystanders and memories of the victims.
Here in Brainerd, the words of Corder's grandmother, Anna Hall, were read at Wednesday's service, displaying gratitude rather than bitterness at the awful turn of events in her life.
"There are not enough words to express my gratitude for all you did for Dominique while he was at CLC, so far from home," she wrote. "You reached out to him as if he were one of your own."
Perhaps a greater appreciation of everyday kindnesses is one way we can avoid the senseless violence which too often afflicts our nation.

This study examines Pap testing behavior among 265 Vietnamese American women aged 18 or above. A community-based survey was conducted with Vietnamese women in five cities: Houston (TX), Springfield (MA), Camden (NJ), Charlotte (NC), and Falls Church (VA). Seventy-five percent of the study sample ever received a Pap test, 45 % within the last 12 months. Women's perceived risks of cancer, belief that cancer can be detected early with screening, and disagreement that it is embarrassing to get tested and that only married women should get tested are related to Pap testing. Having health insurance is the most important predictor of Pap testing. Main reasons for not having tested in the last 12 months include: feeling well, having no insurance, and high costs. Interventions should improve financial access to Pap testing among Vietnamese American women. Results also suggest that future communication programs should emphasize preventive practices and change traditional attitudes and misconceptions related to Pap testing.

Here's my +1 to both of you! Personally, I'd like to go with Berin's layout and top half of the page, since I'd like to see more sites use Forrest (we are the XML processing project, after all). But you need to add the 'how to verify' stuff from Gareth's page to the bottom, especially the handy links to GPG/MD5 tools. Plus, include a note about older releases (which are not on mirrors). Also, I think I like the idea of having one big dist page for the whole project: seems easier to manage.

Your letter (Funding cuts threaten universities' retraining courses, November 21) misses the point. Overall funding for universities is not being cut; in fact the government has delivered the biggest improvement in funding of our universities for a generation. A stark contrast with the 36% cut in per-student funding prior to 1997. We want to widen participation and increase the numbers of places for students aiming for a first degree. At the moment, there is less of an incentive for institutions to reach out and recruit new talent within the workforce. That is going to change, which is why we are redirecting some funding away from supporting institutions teaching students studying for a second degree towards first-time students.
There is also the question of fairness. Across the whole of their education, the taxpayer stumps up about £100,000 on average to support students as they get a second degree, compared with about £55,000 for someone who leaves school at 16 and about £85,000 for a first degree student. It is hard to justify this, both to taxpayers and to those who have not yet benefited from higher education.
This change will be phased in over three years. In the first year it will only affect 0.2% of higher education funding. Subjects of strategic importance will be protected and we are consulting on which these should be. We have guaranteed that even after three years, no university will lose out in cash terms.
Bill Rammell MP
Minister of state for lifelong learning
Colleagues were unwilling to believe that even the present government could be so crass as to withdraw public funding for the teaching of qualifications equivalent to, or lower than, their current higher award (ELQs). No funding for graduates learning another language? For graduates undertaking professional retraining or updating their qualifications? I suspect this ill-considered decision was really aimed at what little is left of the sort of adult and continuing education courses that really are about education rather than training. This is a Gradgrind government: it has no interest in learning for its own sake, to develop the whole person and the interested, informed, critical human being. It is a McKinsey government: if it cannot be measured, it doesn't count.
Professor John Walton
In 1998 I enrolled on a printmaking course at my local lifelong learning centre, having worked as a graphic designer for 13 years. Nine years on I have a successful printmaking business. This year we are bringing in other artists providing additional employment within the area.

The firm De Dion, Bouton et Trepardoux was formed in Paris 1883 to produce steam vehicles, especially steam-powered cycles. Count Albert De Dion became interested in internal combustion in the early 1890s which led to a split with his brother-in-law Trepardoux and the formation of De Dion, Bouton et Cie in 1894. The firm's 1895 model 137 c.c air-cooled engine was used by other manufacturers of small motor vehicles known in France as 'voiturettes'. By 1899, De Dion, Bouton's own voiturette was in production with a high revving, 402 c.c engine mounted at the rear. The vehicle featured a beam axle and suspension system of advanced design. No reverse gear was fitted and steering was by a vertical tiller type control with driver and passengers facing each other. By 1902, a more conventional front-engine, steering wheel equipped De Dion, Bouton model was in production. Up to the start of the First World War in 1914, De Dion, Bouton were one of the most successful French automotive manufacturers with an extensive product range and considerable export sales success. The company produced commercial vehicles and cars between 1918 and 1950 but never recovered its pre-1914 success. Henry Royce (of Rolls-Royce) purchased a De Dion voiturette as his first motor car on the advice of his doctor as a means of relaxation from overwork.
The Museum's engine is a single-cylinder petrol unit (3.5 H.P). It was made around 1900 by De Dion, Bouton et Cie in Paris and was donated in 1936 by Mr F.J. Garton. It has been sectioned for display purposes.

Team Asahi Kasei dominated the final regional qualifier for the New Year Ekiden men's national corporate ekiden championships, leading wire-to-wire to set a course record of 3:50:53 at the seven-stage, 78.8 km Nov. 23 Kyushu Corporate Ekiden Championships. Asahi Kasei runners won the first four stages, with Daegu World Championships marathon 7th-place finisher Hiroyuki Horibata outrunning Team Toyota Kyushu ace Masato Imai to take the 12.2 km Fourth Stage in 34:38. Fifth Stage Asahi Kasei runner Takehiro Arakawa was beaten on time by Africans Paul Tanui (Team Kyudenko) and Alemu Desta (Team Yasukawa Denki) but had a big enough lead that he was in no danger of being run down. Asahi Kasei's sixth runner Kenichi Shirashi ran a stage best to further widen the team's lead, with anchor Yuki Iwai bringing the team in for the course record win and a place at the New Year Ekiden. With several of its best members sitting the regional race out Asahi Kasei will once again head to the New Year Ekiden as one of the favorites if its star runners are back near 100%.
The real races came for 2nd and 7th place. Toyota Kyushu, Kyudenko and Yasukawa Denki led a tight three-way race for 2nd, the lead turning over repeatedly. Yasukawa Denki slipped behind late in the race but the final finishing order wasn't determined until the anchor stage where despite going 1-2 on time anchors Ryuji Watanabe (Team Toyota Kyushu) and Daegu World Championships marathoner Kentaro Nakamoto (Team Yasukawa Denki) couldn't manage to run down Kyudenko anchor Masanori Sakai. Toyota Kyushu finished 14 seconds behind Kyudenko, with Yasukawa Denki another 31 seconds back in 4th. Team Mitsubishi Juko Nagasaki and Team Kurosaki Harima took 5th and 6th to pick up New Year Ekiden positions. With seven places available, Team Nishitetsu and Team Sumco started the anchor stage simultaneously, turning the 14.2 km leg into a man-on-man battle between Nishitetsu's Kazuya Ishida and Sumco's Kodai Haraguchi. Running side-by-side throughout the stage, Ishida emerged the stronger in the final straight as he kicked away to finish 5 seconds up on Haraguchi, sending his team to Nationals and consigning Sumco to the leftovers.
Toyota Kyushu's Imai finished 2nd on the Fourth Stage behind Horibata. Kyudenko's Kazuhiro Maeda likewise had a good run, 3rd on the First Stage just two seconds behind the stage winner. Both Imai and Maeda are scheduled to run next week's Fukuoka International Marathon where they, along with amateur runner Yuki Kawauchi (Saitama Pref.) are the favorites forearning a spot on Japan's 2012 Olympic marathon team.

text: Some schools and businesses operating in the Pine, Wildey area are closed today due to water outages. Among them are the mechanical department at the Sanitation Service Authority, Parkinson School and Luther Thorne Memorial. In a release this afternoon, the Barbados Water Authority informed residents of St Barnabas, the Pine, Wildey, Clapham, Upton, Fort George and surrounding areas which were impacted by the outages, that it had found the source of the problem. "Investigations have revealed that the situation has resulted from a break on a nine-inch main in the area of Belle Gully, St Michael that transfers water from the Belle Pumping Station to the Fort George Reservoir. This water is then distributed to the named districts. The Authority's crews are working to repair this burst as quickly as possible and normal service to the affected areas is expected to resume by this evening," stated the release. Water tankers have been despatched to assist customers in these districts in the interim, however, there may be delays due to heavy demand. The BWA apologised for the inconvenience, adding that it was also carrying out repairs to a burst on a four-inch main in Apes Hill, St James while investigating reports of a burst in St Silas, St James.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Giants wide receiver Rueben Randle's knee swelled up during Wednesday's walk-through and as a result Randle did not practice Thursday. Randle said he's determined to play in Sunday's season finale against the Redskins, but that could depend on the results of tests on his knee and whether he's able to practice Friday.
"Hopefully it's not going to be much," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said after Thursday's practice. "From time to time he has some issues."
The Giants are already playing without injured wide receiver Victor Cruz, and fellow starter Hakeem Nicks is wrapping up a very disappointing year in which he's still without a touchdown catch. If Randle, who leads the team with six touchdown catches, can't play, that would leave the Giants with Nicks, Jerrel Jernigan, Louis Murphy and recently promoted practice-squadder Julian Talley at wide receiver for the Redskins game.
It does appear, however, that the Giants will have some running back depth for the game. Starter Andre Brown, who suffered a concussion in Sunday's game in Detroit, was a full participant in Thursday's practice. So was backup Peyton Hillis, who missed Sunday's game with a concussion. Practice on Thursday doesn't necessarily guarantee that they'll be cleared to play Sunday, per the league's concussion protocol, but it's a strong positive sign in that direction.
Guard David Diehl, who missed Sunday's game with a knee injury, was listed as a limited participant in practice, and Coughlin seemed hopeful that Diehl would play Sunday in what could be his final game as a Giant. Also limited Thursday were defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins (knee) and cornerback Terrell Thomas (knee).
The Giants who did not practice were Randle, Cruz, cornerback Trumaine McBride (groin), guard Brandon Mosley (hand), defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul (shoulder), tight end Adrien Robinson (knee) and cornerback Jayron Hosley (illness). Mosley broke his hand Sunday and is having surgery later this week, so he's surely out for the game. Pierre-Paul hasn't played in a month and also is surely out. Robinson was active Sunday for the first time all year but hurt his knee on the opening kickoff. I think that likely ends up being his whole season.

Volusia deputy rescues man from burning RV
VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. - A Volusia County deputy risked his life when he pulled a resident out of a burning RV Monday morning.
The RV fire started shortly before 10 a.m. at the Mosquito Lagoon RV Park on Halifax Avenue.
Resident Joseph Meade said he saw smoke coming from the RV next door to his, where his friend Mark lives.
"It got real serious very quick and and I was calling Mark's name, no response, couldn't see. I tried to go in but I had to back up right away because of the heat," Meade said.
Neighbors were able to break the windows in hopes of clearing the smoke out. Witnesses said the heat and the fumes kept anyone from going inside, except the first Volusia County deputy on scene, Thomas Proctor.
"He didn't have a mask on or nothing. He just went in there like a bulldozer. I couldn't believe he did that," Meade said.
Neighbors said they watched as Proctor pulled the unconscious victim out of the RV and then tried to resuscitate him.
"He didn't stop working, from the minute he got here. I've never seen a guy work so hard," Meade said.
Officials said the victim is receiving treatment at Bert Fish Medical Center.

The U.S. coal industry is going down the crapper, and even Dale Earnhardt Jr. can't save it.
Local organizers are building big coalitions to keep the region from becoming a massive transfer station for toxic coal exports.
The fate of the U.S. coal industry hinges on its ability to increase exports to China and India. If activists can quash coal export terminals, they can hobble the coal industry.
A new report looks at which of the biggest banks in the country provide the most financial support for the coal industry.
Every week brings a new story about coal's decline in America. Here are two from last week.
Activists forced ATM users to think twice about what they were really supporting by banking with Bank of America.

A new paper proposes that we buy up coal deposits in countries around the world to keep them from being exploited. It's fascinating strategy, but could it work?
Is it important for U.S activists to fight coal exports? Damn straight it is.

Based on 16 Reviews
Delish! This soup was really good. I cooked it for 8 min in the Instant Pot and it came out great. I added the cooked chicken after I cooked the soup mix. Served with sour cream and crushed taco chips. I am ordering more of this soup. A hearty lunch.
- Jessie
Great Soup Mix
This is a nice addition to the pantry - all you need is some cooked chicken, broth, and a jar of salsa. Served with cornbread and everyone liked it!
- sarah
Quick and easy
I have purchased this soup twice, Very easy to make and everyone in my family just loves it. This will be on every future Thrive order. Excited to see what the other soups I purchase will taste.
- Thrive user
Super good!
I added a little enchilada sauce, it was great! A little spicy
- Kelly
This is a regular on my supper list. It calls for a lot of things added but it's really worth it.
- Emily
This soup mix is so good, I get two every time I place an order! It's really just the vegetables and spices. You have to add everything else but that makes it as good as home made!
- Emily
Delicious just the right amount of spice
- Beatrice
Delicious Soup!!
Just prepared this a couple days ago for the first time and both my husband & I really enjoyed it!! The directions are right on the package and very simple to follow. I added a couple of my other spices as I often do when cooking, such as chili powder, cumin, onion powder, etc. but that's just me! It made approximately 6 full servings for us. I understand that "serving size" depends on the consumer, but it was 6 full soup bowls! We are reordering this for sure!!
- Karen
My husband loved it and the directions are easy to follow. Can use 2 cups of broth and 2 cups water if you are short on broth.
- Lauren
I added Chicken, broth and salsa to this soup. My husband loves it!!! It was soooo delish
- shawn
Love it!
This one is my favorite!
- Hillary
Love these soups! This is one of their best! Spicy but not too much so.
- elo
Great soup!
This was the first time that I tried this soup and I loved it. It's just the two of us eating so it was great to have leftovers to have it again.
- Bonnie
Tortilla soup
This is the third frontier soup mix I've tried, and by far my favorite. I'm really enjoying these because it's easy to experiment with the recipe. Also, this makes a ton of soup. I thought the 6 cups of broth would make it too watery, but no it was the perfect amount.
- Lace
Yet, another disappointment
I bought 5 different varieties of the Frontier Soup mixes and am as disappointed with this as with the others. Very incomplete. You have to add all sorts of things one should think are part of a 'soup mix'.
Here, you need to add 6 cups of chicken broth, 2 cups of cooked chicken breast and 12 oz. of salsa.
Rather tasteless unless you get that from your broth and the salsa you need to add.
We ended up adding some grated cheese and chips over the top of each serving. To be honest, I can make a better soup faster from scratch, once I have the broth, chicken and salsa, by adding a can of beans and a hand full of frozen corn. For the money charged - this is not a good deal, sorry!
- Margarete
I added a can of mild Rotel tomatoes, and crushed sea salt tortilla chips and shredded cheese :)

OGC © 2005, Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. 7 Standards Enable Interoperability INTEROPERABILITY: the ability of two or more autonomous, heterogeneous, distributed digital entities (e.g. systems, applications, procedures, directories, inventories or data sets) to communicate and cooperate among themselves despite differences in language, context, format or content.

By Rick Warren
— May 21, 2014
All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. 2 Timothy 3:16 (NLT)
If I discover truth from the Bible, how do I know the Bible is true? There's a world of objective evidence, both external and internal, that says the Bible is true.
External evidence proves the Bible is a historical book that you can rely on. There are 5,366 copies of the Bible dating from the time it was written to just 70 years afterwards. That fact dispels the urban legend that the Bible was changed as it passed through generations and languages.
External evidence also includes many archeological discoveries. For example, historians used to say that Solomon couldn't have had the horses the Bible says he had because no one had horses at that time. But then thousands of horse stables were found in an archeological dig.
There's also the internal evidence of the Bible itself. In a court of law, a prosecutor with two or three eyewitness accounts has a good chance of making his case. The Bible is filled with eyewitness accounts. Moses was there when the Red Sea split; Joshua was there to watch Jericho fall; the disciples saw the resurrected Jesus.
The internal evidence of the Bible also includes the fact that it tells one story with consistency - though it was written over 1,500 years on three different continents by 40 different authors from every walk of life. No human being could account for that. It's an amazing example of God's abilities.
The Bible says, "There's nothing like the written Word of God for showing you the way to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. Every part of Scripture is God-breathed and useful one way or another—showing us truth, exposing our rebellion, correcting our mistakes, training us to live God's way. Through the Word we are put together and shaped up for the tasks God has for us." (2 Timothy 3:15-17, MSG)
