Poll: 19% of Dems Think World Better If US Loses Iraq War
Friday's "Hannity and Colmes" featured a discussion of a recently released Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll which found that, when asked the question, "Do you personally think the world would be better off if the United States loses the war in Iraq?" 19 percent of Democrats answered "yes" while 20 percent answered "don't know," leaving only 62 percent who definitely disagreed with the idea that the world might be better off if America lost. By contrast, 87 percent of Republicans and 76 percent of Independents disagreed with the idea that a loss by America might be a good thing for the world. (Transcript follows)
Sean Hannity introduced the discussion with Republican pollster Kellyanne Conway and Democratic strategist/author Doug Schoen, and posed his first question to Schoen: "Doug, 20 percent of your party wants us to lose the war?" Schoen rationalized the numbers, contending that "we don't know what victory is," and that Democrats are "fed up" and "have had enough."
Below is a transcript of the exchange from the Friday October 5 "Hannity and Colmes":
SEAN HANNITY: In a sure sign that liberalism has run amok in this country, the latest Fox News poll shows that Democrats are not only planning for a withdrawal from Iraq, but that one in five actually believe that [the world] would be better off if we lost the war outright. Joining us now to try and make sense of that tragic poll result, Republican pollster Kellyanne Conway, Democratic pollster and author of The Power of the Vote, Doug Schoen, is with us. Doug, 20 percent of your party wants us to lose the war, lose the war?
DOUG SCHOEN, Democratic strategist: Sean, we don't know what victory is. First, it was deposing Saddam, then it was political reconciliation, now it's rooting out terror. A lot of Democrats are fed up with this war. And what that figure says to me is they've had enough, they don't know what our goals are, and they just want out.

Neath power pummels Cardiff
Neath 32-10 Cardiff
The All Blacks advance to meet Munster in the final of the Celtic League at the Millennium Stadium after a 32-10 win over Cardiff at the Gnoll.
Their forward strength paved the way for victory as the Blue and Blacks' vaunted back line failed to make an impact on the game.
Cardiff threatened a second-half fightback, but in the end four tries along with 17 points from Blue-and-Blacks old-boy Lee Jarvis made the home side more-than-comfortable victors.
Neath will need to iron out some of the uncertainties in their game before they become the first team to represent Wales in the Celtic League final on 1 February, though.
Soon after Cardiff's front-row injury problems were compounded as Ken Fourie was carried off the pitch to be replaced by player-coach Dai Young. Hooker Andrew Lewis was a late withdrawal before kick-off.
Without a set-piece presence for the visitors, the All Blacks' pressure was relentless.
A scrum five was picked up by Neath number eight Nathan Bonner-Evans. The big man was unstoppable off the front foot and he carried two men over for the opening try.
Ten minutes later Bonner-Evans drove forward from another attacking scrum, the ball was shipped to Jarvis and he fed Dave Tiueti on the charge.
The Blue and Blacks awakened memories of their memorable quarter-final fightback against Edinburgh, though, as Richard Smith crossed for a try at the start of the second period.
Craig Morgan looked to have kicked away a promising situation, but the ball rebounded kindly to Smith, whose score in the corner was superbly converted by Iestyn Harris.
A Harris penalty soon followed, bringing Cardiff back within a score at 17-10.
He dummied a drop goal, side-stepped and sprinted over for a converted try against his old club.
Neath regained their poise and control for the rest of the game and it was unsurprisingly another forward-moving scrum that set up the final try for wing Gareth Morris.
Neath: Adrian Durston; Gareth Morris, Dave Tiueti, James Storey, Shane Williams; Lee Jarvis, Andy Moore; Duncan Jones, Barry Williams, Adam Jones, Andy Newman, Gareth Llewellyn, Steve Tandy, Nathan Bonner-Evans, Alfie Mocelutu.
Cardiff: Rhys Williams; Nick Walne, Jamie Robinson, Matt Allen, Craig Morgan; Iestyn Harris, Richard Smith; Tom Payne, G Woods, Ken Fourie, Heino Senekal, John Tait, Dan Baugh, Martyn Williams (capt), Emyr Lewis.

Editor's Note: Former Loyola attackman/midfielder and IL writer Ryan Rabidou laced up and stepped on the field for the Greyhounds alumni game last weekend under the newly approved (or at the time, proposed) NCAA men's lacrosse rules. Because the rules are expected to have such a dramatic impact on the game, Rabidou provided his perspective on how the changes altered the alumni game.
This came across as the most impactful rule change in the alumni game because one of the biggest differences between the current squad and a graduated squad (besides their being more talented) is the graduation from the conditioning program. Even though this shined through strongest in the alumni game, I'm pretty sure it will be just as important during the season. What you will notice is teams that have athletes between the lines, two-way middies and overall solid cardio will succeed. The majority of the goals we gave up were in transition. Players like Scott Ratliff, Josh Hawkins and Pat Laconi will see an even bigger increase on their stat sheet courtesy of the new transition-friendly game. For alumni, the game felt more like hungover 6 a.m. punishment gassers.
What this rule will also do is create matchup problems. Since players no longer have the same time to get off the field and make personnel adjustments (get your offensive minded invert middie off and your longpole on), you will see teams pushing the ball to the offensive end to exploit tired or not defensively blessed middies. Adding more fuel to the fire is the quicker restart rules that share the same points as the previous mentioned.
With the prior rule of no horns, quicker restarts and the overall goal of speeding up the game, balls are no longer just lined up on endlines, but also positioned along the sidelines. When a pass goes flying out of bounds, the other team can quickly pick up the nearest ball and wait for a quick restart whistle.
Because majority of substitutions will now have to be made on the fly, the substitution box has been expanded from 10 yards to a noticeably larger 20 yards. I think we all preferred this rule change as it let's you make up (or gain) more ground when subbing a player on and off. The player running off had less distance to run and you could line your on-coming player all the way down at the other corner closest to the end of field he is heading. This did push the bench further down the field, so if your the 5th string goalie, your 30 yard-line seats just got bumped even farther downfield.
The biggest change in the face-off realm was with the violations. Each half, each team gets a limit of two violations. On the third violation, the get hit with a 30-second penalty. This count resets at the half, but with every violation after two it's another 30-second penalty. I know this is an attempt to clean up the face-off X (which it will), but it slowed the game down.
With the new rules, lacrosse's most down time (besides timeouts, between quarters and halftime) is when a penalty occurs. The alumni received at least two penalties for face-off violations in the first half. I believe the old violation punishment was enough as the violator had to run off the field, giving an aggressive team a chance to capitalize on a 6-on-5 situation. You don't need to throw a flag, inform the sideline, get personnel on and then start the game back up; just blow the quick restart whistle and let the numbers game sort itself out.

As the foreclosure crisis heated up, Minnesota's Volunteer Lawyers Network (VLN) was prepared with hundreds of resources to help pro bono and legal aid attorneys working on foreclosure defense and equity stripping cases. But with access to the material the responsibility of a VLN staff attorney, distributing it was inefficient, to say the least. The solution? ProJusticeMN.org, Minnesota's statewide advocate site.

Re: What are your realistic expectations of your spouse?

Having realistic expectatons of each other and ourselves is something our therapist wants us to work on, and whenever we have a tiff, my husband tends to think I'm expecting something from him that is unrealistic. Sometimes I can see his point, but I don't always agree; For example, I don't think it's unrealistic to expect him to want to or be able to talk/chat with me on a long drive in the car when I'm doing the driving and I let him know the conversation would keep me alert, after a night of not enough sleep...but if I express that, he acts like I'm inconveniencing him or asking too much of him. So instead of demanding that he see my point of view, I simply initiate the conversation, and he responded minimally.
While I agree that we need to have realistic expectations, it is concerning to me that your DH does not want to be helpful. In addition to trying to limit your expectations of each other to the "reasonable," do you also talk about the desire to be helpful to one another?
I try to keep my expectations realistic, and I'm wondering the thoughts on this from people who have been married awhile and are happy.
Realistic is defined not by the person doing the expecting but the person expected of. There is no objective set of reasonable expectations. As good will increases, the set of things a person is going to consider reasonable for them to do will also increase.
I expect that he cares for me, respects me, and is happy to be with me (spend time with me, do things with me, talk to me, etc.)
He may perceive that I have unrealistic expectations...but from my pov, it's when i sense he's not expressing one of those 3 basic things, that I have a problem. It's when he sends a message that I'm annoying to him rather than a pleasure to have by his side.
One of the scariest, most hurtful and most productive honest things my husband said to me back in the bad days was that I was being "too needy." But it really made me think. I was spending all my time expecting HIM to make me happy, be with me, prove to me he loved me. I never let us just BE.
Yah sometimes he doesn't want to BE (with big relationship emphasis) with me. Sometimes he wants to veg out and daydream, watch tv, go mountain bike riding with friends.
By increasing my self esteem, by investing in interests of my own, by giving him freedom, I INCREASED his desire to be with me by DECREASING the pressure to do so.
What I can admit is unrealistic for me to expect is for him to agree with me on something if he simply doesn't, say exactly what I want to hear, or respond in a particular way.
So how have you learned in your marriages what your realistic expectations are of your spouse, and do you have any advice for me?
I guess stop worrying so much about what you EXPECT from HIM and start worrying a lot more about how to meet HIS needs. Rebuild a dynamic of mutual helpfulness, etc..

I found a 9foot 8wt 3piece beaulah dm8 on Craig's list for 65.00 .I Googler the rod but didn't find much. The ones I did find where pretty pricey (for my blood any ways) .
Does anyone know anything about these rods? Is the price right? I haven't called on it or seen it so I don't know what condition its in.
Re: beaulah?
Their spey rods are first quality, I own one. Have not cast single handers of theirs, but if its in any kind of shape, 65 bucks is a heck of a deal. Don't know what kind of action they have. Beulah has its own website.

PGV operations back to normal
By TOM CALLIS
Tribune-Herald staff writer
Puna Geothermal Venture was back to normal operations Wednesday night after it was shut down that afternoon, causing a plume of steam to be released into the air.
The 38-megawatt power plant shutdown shortly before 4 p.m. when a transmission line between Kaumana and Pohoiki was tripped, said Curt Beck, energy services department manager with the Hawaii Electric Light Co.
The fault, which could have been caused by a tree branch, disconnected the line from the rest of the grid, leaving PGV with nowhere for its electricity to go.
The plant in Pohoiki automatically shutdown in response. With the plant offline, steam produced from the geothermal process was released as a safety measure.
About 20,000 customers lost power for about 15 minutes, Beck said. HELCO turned on its backup diesel generators to make up for the temporary loss of PGV.
The plant was operating again by midnight, said Mike Kaleikini, senior director of Hawaiian affairs for Ormat Technologies, PGV's parent company.
The steam plume, visible to nearby residents, was not considered a health risk, though a few elevated readings of hydrogen sulfide were detected.
The gas is also a byproduct of the geothermal operation, and is contained during normal operations, according to plant operators.
Readings conducted by the Hawaii County Fire Department detected levels of the gas at 3 parts per million on Pohoiki Road between Hinalo Street and Leilani Avenue, said county Civil Defense Director Darryl Oliveira.
That area is downwind of the plant and is just outside its property line.
Another reading detected the gas at a level of 1 ppm on Pohoiki Road farther away from the plant, Oliveira said.
Other readings did not detect the gas.
Hydrogen sulfide is denser than air, and at least one of the two readings were recorded in a dip in the road, he said.
Oliveira said Civil Defense would not issue an evacuation order unless PGV could not contain the release and if sustained readings of at least 10 ppm were detected.
The release was not considered a health risk based on the levels recorded, he said.
Still, the county opened the Pahoa Community Center for residents concerned that it was not safe to stay home.
No one had shown up by the time it was closed after 7:30 p.m., Oliveira said.
"I guess it was more of a precautionary thing because initially we weren't getting confirmation of readings on site," he said.
PGV detected a peak reading of 19 parts per billion of hydrogen sulfide during the release. That translates to 0.019 ppm.
That reading was below the plant's maximum permit level of 25 ppb (0.025 ppm) on an average hourly basis.
The gas becomes immediately dangerous to health at 100 ppm, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
Lower levels can irritate eyes and lungs, and OSHA limits workplace exposure to 20 ppm.
Up to 125,000 pounds of steam was released during the venting that lasted from 15 to 20 minutes, Kaleikini said.
The gas, which has an odor of rotten eggs, can also be smelled at low levels.
Some nearby residents reported smelling the offensive odor, Oliveira said.
Diane Thomas said the smell was strong at her home about a mile downwind from the plant.
"When it's so bad that your nose is burning, it's pretty serious," she said.
Thomas said the release did cause her some concern but was told by officials that there was "nothing to worry about."
The last time a similar release occurred was in November 2011.
A weather storm possibly tripped the plant offline then, Kaleikini said. That release was much smaller, with possibly about 10 percent as much steam vented, he said.
PGV removes about 98 percent of hydrogen sulfide in the steam, Kaleikini said.
The company will hold an informational meeting from 6-8 p.m. on March 28 at the Pahoa High and Intermediate School cafeteria to discuss noise surveys and ground water protection.
Kaleikini said Wednesday's shutdown will also be added to the agenda.

text: So it turns out that there *was* a meltdown around reactor #1. Quite a lot of people suspected this from the visual evidence, but TEPCO and the Japanese government denied, denied, denied. Accusations that those arguing for a meltdown were all internet conspiracy theorists (which also occurred early in the Katrina disaster as well, and in other instances) were used to discredit people who argued that a meltdown had, in fact occurred. This is a useful thing to know, because it gives you a sense of the dynamic being built up between governments and ordinary people as things become less stable on the world scene. On the one hand, extreme events are more common due to climate change, lack of ability to maintain infrastructure, etc... On the other hand, the idea that there is a coherence to these events, and that historically it is risky to trust official versions is maligned as conspiracy theorism.

Kilimanjaro Education Foundation Charity Climbers Reach Summit And Open A Library
Barry's greatest enlightenment occurred when visiting the Eluwai Primary School and Noonkodin Secondary School in the village of Eluwai outside of Monduli in Tanzania the day before the climb. Leonard's climb helped to raise funds, through the Kilimanjaro Education Foundation, for the school's library and to help officially "open" the library for the school, which was built with funds raised by a Pittsburgh area elementary school, Franklin Elementary, in the North Allegheny School District.
"It was unbelievable to see how we had made a difference in the lives of 200 students, as well as their families," said Leonard, who had been dreaming of this trip since his experience as a passenger on USAirways Flight 1549, involved in an incident which became known as the Miracle on the Hudson when Captain Chesley Sullenberger made the split second decision to land the plane in the Hudson River.
"Everyday since January 15, 2009, when I was on the flight that went down in the Hudson River, this has been 'top of mind,' said Leonard. "I wanted to go on this trip in search of another life-altering event that would at least coexist with the flight. Our trip to Africa gave me so many life events, which I got to share with my son. Those will last more than my life through the lives of my sons and generations to follow."
Leonard scaled Kilimanjaro with his son, Matthew and two friends. He said that he and Matthew were able to check three events off their bucket lists -- helping educate children in Africa, climbing Kilimanjaro, and experiencing a photo safari.
"For me, the high point was visiting the school, which included cutting the ribbon on the library, giving my speech to the 200 students and others in Swahili, becoming an honorary Maasai warrior, and having a lunch of goat leg under a shade tree with the headmaster and other dignitaries," he said. "It was obviously a day of enlightenment for us. I have given financial support to many charities, but for the first time, we could see first hand how our support was making a difference in the lives of others."
Eight months of training ensured that Leonard was able to push through the climb. He said that there were many highlights including an amazing sunrise on the day his party reached the summit.
"But the high point of the trip was visiting the school," said Leonard, "and without KEF's help, we would have missed that opportunity."
That experience including welcoming signs from the children, Maasai women dancing and a tour of the school. After speeches by the headmaster (in English) and Leonard (in Swahili), the 200 school students sang for the group and Leonard was presented with a Maasai cape, becoming an honorary Maasai warrior. Leonard presented gifts and cut the ribbon on the library before enjoying that goat leg for lunch.
"It was a day of enlightenment that I will never forget," he added.
And as if to validate his feelings after visiting the school, on his last night in Africa on Mt. Kilimanjaro, Leonard was totally exhausted and experienced some hallucinations, including a deer running across the trail.
"My guide assured me that the deer represents enlightenment," he said.
Leonard, who has been crossing things off his bucket list since his experience on Flight 1549, is next planning to hike the Camino de Santiago in Spain with his daughter Nicole, trekking up to 20 miles each day.

yeah smaller tip, it's smaller than my tip. bigger tip deeper tone! I'm sure you can distinguish the difference between my sound and yours.
How big is your tip again mines 3.5 inches and the tip has little effect on the sound. The corsa runs a straight through muffler nicknamed a can no baffles. Your Gibson uses baffles which is why it is flat style. I worked at an exhaust shop for 10 years I know how exhaust systems work and flow better than most. Tips effect how it's projected not the true tone of the system.
I will measure it soon, the way a sound is reflected has allot to do with the overall sound! since no one seems to be riding around tipless its a factor that sculpts the overall sound. Would live to hear your caddy in action, get that video up!
If you don't mind man, give me a lil more insight between the pros and cons of baffle vs straight through design. I love that popping sound when you let off the gas on your ride, my baffles are restricting that I assume.
Difficult to drive film and play with auto stick so short idea will film better later
Baffle can adjust sound tones that's how you can have a dohc motor sounding like a 60s pushrod motor. Corsa uses a straight flow design with an almost resignatior like perforated muffler designed to cancel out bad tones (drone) and allow the exhaust to free flow for better performance than a restricted baffle design. This also gives the true tone of the motor which is why Corsa sounds more exotic like a dohc high revving motor.
Projection and amplification are two things tips project they don't amplify the sound. Made a tone with your mouth and cup your hands around it. If you keep the same volume throughout the difference in size does nothing to amplify the sound it just adjusts how it's projected.
The baffles in your mufflers do far more to hinder its performance than my .5 less size tip (assuming you have a 4 inch tip to my 3.5).
what is this video supposed to be showing???
Sounds very nice!

In July, the Belton School district welcomed new Volunteer Coordinator Laura Blankenship. Blankenship worked for the district several years ago and returns with a rich background in volunteer services.
"This job seemed like the perfect fit for my family and life right now," Blankenship said. "When I worked for the school district in the past, it was a wonderful experience and I am so happy to be working here again."
"I love working with volunteers," she said. "Volunteers sacrifice their own time for the benefit of someone else. It's a privilege to be surrounded by people whose lives are focused on others. I hope to continue bringing in volunteers to the district. I plan to work closely with each school in order to provide the right fit for every volunteer."
Blankenship resides in Belton with her husband Josh and their two boys, Lincoln and Jackson. To inquire about BSD volunteer opportunities or to welcome Blankenship to the district, email her at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Gutfeld Admits The Obvious: Trump Rules Fox's World
Blog ››› ››› TERRY KREPEL
On today's edition of Fox News' The Five, Greg Gutfeld made a surprisingly honest statement: "Donald Trump knows that if he says anything bad about Obama," Fox will "play it." Gutfeld's comments came after Fox aired a YouTube video of Trump ranting about Obama holding a fundraiser in New York.
As Gutfeld indicated, The Five was hardly the only place on Fox you could find Trump's rant. It has aired on at least three other shows:
- The November 29 edition of On the Record;
- The November 30 edition of Fox Business' Freedom Watch; and
- The November 30 edition of The O'Reilly Factor.
You might recall that earlier this year, Fox was Trump's network of choice for floating his presidential ambitions (advised by Fox's own Sean Hannity) and peddling discredited birther claims (advised by discredited birther Jerome Corsi). When that fell through, Fox followed up by promoting the appointment of Trump as treasury secretary.
So, yeah, Gutfeld is right -- if Trump throws out some red meat, especially of the anti-Obama kind, Fox will definitely play it. And why not? Trump rules their world.

That's in stark contrast to his gay co-worker, Louis (Michael Urie), who is spontaneous, emotional and prone to exaggeration.

Andie MacDowell stars in Hallmark Channel show
This publicity photo released by Hallmark Channel shows Andie MacDowell, as Olivia Lockhart, a municipal judge, in "Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove." The series debuts Saturday, July 20, 2013, on the Hallmark Channel. (AP Photo/Copyright Hallmark Channel, Katie Yu)
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Life mirrored art when Andie MacDowell was offered the chance to star in a new Hallmark Channel series.
"Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove," based on novelist Macomber's books, focuses on a judge who weighs putting her career ahead of her roots and [auth] family. MacDowell said taking the role appeared to mean she'd have to give work precedence over her role as a parent.
"When the script came to me, I wasn't sure if I wanted to do it," the actress said. "I love my work, but my kids come first, and I was finishing off my daughter's last year in high school."
She didn't want to leave her job as mom early, MacDowell said. But when her two daughters read the script and declared it perfect for her, she reconsidered. As luck would have it, the production was delayed and she was able to neatly balance home and acting.
MacDowell is enthusiastic about "Cedar Cove," which debuts at 8 p.m. EDT Saturday and represents the Hallmark Channel's first original prime-time series. Dylan Neal, Bruce Boxleitner, Teryl Rothery, Barbara Niven and Sarah Smythe are in the cast.
The series is a warm-hearted respite from the many dark and edgy shows on TV, MacDowell said.
"It's one of those stories that makes you feel good, classic Hallmark that makes you cry, makes you laugh," she said, adding that the title's fictional town is a "great character, and you enjoy being in the place."
As for her daughters, "they're both sprouting their wings and taking off," she said, with Rainey, 24, an actress and singer-songwriter and Margaret, 18, an actress and model.
MacDowell's son, Justin, 26, is pursuing a master's degree in English at the University of Montana.

No. 20 Indiana Rolls No. 5 UCLA
Sept. 5, 2010
Courtesy of Indiana University
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Indiana University junior forward Will Bruin was unstoppable on Sunday, recording three goals as No. 20 Indiana took out No. 5 UCLA by a 5-1 score on Jerry Yeagley Field at Armstrong Stadium as part of the adidas/IU Credit Union Classic.
With the win, IU improves to 1-1 on the season. The loss drops the Bruins to 1-1 on the year. The five Indiana goals is its most scored since a 6-0 victory over Butler on Oct. 19, 2005. Indiana now holds a 10-7 advantage in the series with the Bruins, having been victorious in each of the last four meetings.
Bruin recorded his first career hat trick with goals in the ninth, 58th and 68th minutes. The All-Big Ten honoree now has four goals in two matches and is well on his way to surpassing his 2009 season total of nine.
"This was a great win for the team today," said head coach Todd Yeagley, who picked up his first win at Indiana. "To bounce back from a disappointing loss to California on Friday and come back and execute in the final third, we are really pleased with. The conviction our players played with was also great.
"We actually played better Friday, which just shows this game can be an interesting one with results. But we will take a really great performance Friday and a wonderful result today."
Bruin's first goal at 8:46 came off a ball from Alec Purdie that was sent in to the left side of the goal. Bruin slotted home the score to give the Hoosiers a 1-0 advantage.
UCLA answered back with a score at 25:26 when Ryan Hollingshead settled a ball that bounced around in the six-yard box, putting in a shot down the middle. The lead was short-lived as 31 seconds later Indiana earned a penalty kick when Bruin was taken down in the box. Senior Andy Adlard calmly stepped up and rifled the ball past Bruins goalkeeper Brian Rowe for what would be the game-winning score.
Indiana added some breathing room when Purdie scored his second career goal to make it 3-1 IU at 56:06. Freshman Nikita Kotlov took a shot from about 12 yards out and the rebound came off Rowe and back to Purdie, who smacked the ball into the lower right. For Kotlov it was the first assist of his collegiate career.
The route was on when just over a minute later when Bruin scored his second goal of the match at 57:16. As Purdie brought the ball up the right, Bruin made a run up the middle and slid through the UCLA defense before slotting the ball into the lower left.
Adlard set up the final goal of the match with a perfectly played ball to the foot of Bruin. Bruin danced around the goalkeeper before sending home his third goal of the day at 67:40.
"We were creating a lot of gaps and a lot of problems for (UCLA)," Adlard said. "I knew when I went in the game it would be very open and I would get a chance to set something up or maybe score another. I collected the ball and ran at the back line, and Will pulled off the defender very well, and all I had to do was make sure I put it into his correct foot.
Bruin led the Hoosiers with seven shots, six of which were on frame. Purdie, Adlard, junior Chris Estridge, freshman Blake Wise and senior Daniel Kelly had one shot each. Rowe finished with three saves for the Bruins, while Indiana goalkeeper sophomore Luis Soffner has two saves in picking up his first win of the year. Soffner made a diving save on a ball from Kelyn Rowe just five minutes into the first half and had another stop on a shot from Zack Zerrenner.
Sophomore defender Caleb Konstanski also came up big for Indiana, recording a team save when he kicked out a shot from Eder Arreola that was destined for the back of the net.

A tutu clad Swift refuses to pirouette with her fellow ballerinas, preferring to pelvic thrust like a rebel instead.
Dolly, who at first forgot to take his hat off, whistled a bar, and then turned a pirouette on his heel.
Then, rising, she danced over to her sister, and forced her into a pirouette.
She did the pirouette to admiration—whirling round upon her apex.
Suddenly May sprang to her feet, clapped her palms together, and began to pirouette.
These women are like enchantresses, and are great dancers; they play and sing, and pirouette.
With that she made a pirouette, and in three bounds was out of the room.
I cut so strong a pirouette that all my bells jingle, and come down in an attitude, with one hand upon my hip.
The pirouette had the advantage of being understood by the spectators in every land.
Quelus drew back in a rage, and Bussy, making a pirouette, went out of the gallery.
1706, from French pirouette "spinning top; pirouette in dancing," from Middle French pirouet "spinning top" (15c.), from Gallo-Romance root *pir- "peg, plug" (cf. Italian piruolo "peg top") + diminutive suffix -ette.
1822, from pirouette (n.) and also from French pirouetter. Related: Pirouetted; pirouetting.

What is anger?
Anger serves a purpose to release deeper issues, problems and internal conflict. It's a pressure release valve. Since from the body's perspective: it's better to release anger than to turn it around to destroy oneself.
However, anger is not very efficient and it's the last step/tool in a person's automatic release options. Suppressing anger is self destructive, as the negative energy redirects directly into your body. Anger is a path of destruction. Anger's purpose is to destroy problems.
How does one heal anger? The true key is awareness of one's inner self. Understand the root of anger is about releasing problems. It's better to release problems in other more efficient and less damaging manners. So resolving anger means developing habits that release internal conflict in constructive manners before it can release as rage.
I had a teacher who taught me all about anger. My father was a wonderful soul, yet his one weakness was rage. He let rage control, diminish and then destroy his life. He showed me time and time again, to release with rage, always results in negative feedback from the rest of the world: which in turn would cause him more harm.
The lesson was very clear:
The world always reflects your actions. If you lash out in rage, then the world lashes back at you with that same anger causing pain/grief that still has to get resolved.
Once your anger gets stirred up, there is no true "release" except resolution.
Lashing out with anger is an inefficient attempt to resolve or make a problem go away.
The Key: Resolution
To lash out in rage is to still lash out at yourself, creating problems that will require healing.
So if you have anger
- Don't hold it in.
- Don't release it as pain.
- Release it as acceptance.
Now acceptance has many levels, since as you practice acceptance, you can release the anger long before it even boils up to become anger.
Long before anger: look towards your feelings, find the internal conflict (or external) and work towards acceptance. Taoism teaches peace is the true warrior's path. The sword while an option is never used with anger or you have lost from the start.
Firstly: Don't remove all aspects of anger out of one's life, it does serve some useful purposes. More importantly at times you need some anger when dealing with other people. Occasionally you need to reflect anger with anger. Since anger is used at times as communication. Look at the wolf snarl above, it isn't anger as action, it's a statement of communication to indicate position. The wolf is saying: "I am willing to fight to retain my place." The wolf doesn't want to fight, in fact its trying to release the need to fight, with its snarl.
However, having said that, I teach that 80 to 90% of anger is wasteful.
Basic Techniques to resolve anger
In looking for answers you will discover many different anger management tools. Julie and I focus on the teachings that balance a student closer to their essence. This allows a person to find both a stronger internal baseline and a calmer perspective to work against life's challenges. Here is a simple introduction to some of our teachings that a person can use to attain more refined control of their actions and finally resolve their anger.
When feeling anger.
Step one:
- Take a breath, and just feel it.
- Look at it, don't try to answer it, just look at it.
- Accept it, and then release it as a long exhale.
- Imagine it going into the earth as compost.
- With your arms sweep it away:Literally use your arm like a sword to cut through the feelings of anger to say I see the anger: and it is as it was.
We maintain a lot of energy to hold onto the past: the past is just reflection of what we think happened. In the now… it's gone and only a memory… and memories are no longer truth, but rather guide lines only. It is as it was. Release the issue as most anger is actually a lie that people use to project and keep the past alive in the now. But doing so is actually a form of delusion: 80 to 90% of anger is based upon lies! Why give up your own power to such lies? A Taoist as a result just releases anger without fuss. Simply brushes it away as a lie and anger on its own has no power at all, except any power we give it to make it real.
In this example, the answer is a process of releasing both the past and any twisted thoughts that got entangled in that past.
This technique also ties into breathing techniques. Yes, letting go of anger in some cases can be as simple as releasing a breath! Breath management is used quite a bit since our thoughts actually flow against our breath. So by breathing with a deeper awareness it becomes possible to release the thoughts which are stirring up the anger in the first place.
For a Taoist this fact resolves 75% of anger issues. However, when your anger is based on painful personal truth, then we must look at the issues that need to be addressed and work a bit deeper.
Step Two:
After looking at the anger: then look closely.
- If it's a problem you can resolve now, then do so… No lingering excuses or apologies. Be decisive, apologize once and only once if needed, make your amends and just move on quickly and simply.
- If it's something you feel guilt over: then forgive yourself! Be giving to others in repentance for three to five times to put forth kindness in balance of the negative actions. But only a few times. Your life is never an apology, rather in kindness our actions are about now, not filling in the past. As I said before: the past is just that: past gone!
- If it cannot be resolve right away: then let it go.Instead resolve other smaller problems and be happy with that. Chip away at the anger in small resolutions/actions that over time will undercut the larger anger issue naturally.
You will be surprise how fast these techniques can help you resolve anger.
However, you have to be willing to release.
If you hold firm to "the past", "expectations", "lies", "issues" : then it will be a long road in the release and often your anger will follow destructive means to create the release needed to occur.
In coming across a person who takes this longer road, you let them travel and go your own way. Every person makes their own path. Respect other people's choices even the bad ones, since they are working on issues. The reason is that often times anger is Karmic in nature. You have to let a person work out Karma naturally and first hand, otherwise you just prolong their negative Karma.
Anger is a Karmic emotion, when you lash out in pain, you inflict negative Karma upon yourself and others around you. Pain inflicted thru anger takes time and active consideration of the people involved to release. As a result be respectful of those working with anger issues, Karma is a powerful beast and the only way to tame it is: with respect, time and acceptance.

In humble home, Guatemala farmer finds ancient Maya murals under plaster
By Mike McDonald
CHAJUL, Guatemala (Reuters) - In a ramshackle home in Guatemala's rural highlands, farmer and odd job man Lucas Asicona made for an unlikely guardian of ancient Mayan treasures - until he decided to redo his kitchen.
When he pulled back the plaster in his humble colonial-era home of stone, adobe and haphazard wooden boards, he discovered 300-year-old murals, a priceless piece of Guatemalan history.
Scenes of tall Europeans beating drums and playing flutes stare out over the one-room dwelling where his family including five children cooked, slept and played.
So he carefully drew back the furniture and moved his wood burning kitchen stove outside to protect the treasured artwork, an informal curator of Guatemala's rich past.
"We try to keep the kids away from it and keep people from touching it," said Asicona, 38, who discovered the murals by chance in 2005 during renovation work at his home, which has been in his family for generations.
"The house is very humid and some of the colors have been fading. The black has started to turn gray and some of the other colors have lost their shine, but we do what we can without any funding," he added.
Asicona is among four householders in Chajul, an Ixil Maya community some 220 miles from Guatemala City, struggling to preserve murals revealed after peeling back plaster on the walls of ancient homes. Experts believe similar murals could lie hidden in a further eight homes in the town.
Painted by the current occupants' Mayan ancestors, the friezes cover several walls of the homes, whose colonial history is glimpsed in details including heavy hardwood doors and carved stone pillars propping up modern tin roofs. Continued...

HBO actor settles with Macy's, NYC in "shop-and-frisk" suit
By Curtis Skinner
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Actor Rob Brown of HBO's "Treme" has settled a federal discrimination lawsuit against Macy's Inc and the city of New York, the retailer said on Thursday, resolving part of a "shop-and-frisk" controversy over racial profiling in the city.
U.S. District Judge Lorna Schofield dismissed the case on Wednesday, citing a settlement in principle between the parties, court records showed.
Neither Macy's nor the city would provide further information on Thursday as details had not been finalized.
Brown sued the department store and the city in November, saying that after purchasing a $1,300 gold Movado watch for his mother as a graduation present last June, he was detained and handcuffed by three men he believed to be police officers.
The controversy surrounding his arrest and those of other black shoppers with similar complaints last year sparked debate about racial stereotyping and prejudice.
The practice was coined "shop and frisk" in a twist on the controversial policing practice of "stop and frisk."
Macy's said it would also be settling other lawsuits alleging racial profiling. At a hearing on Monday in Brown's case, a lawyer for the company said there were two cases pending in state court and a third in federal court.
"Our company strictly prohibits discrimination of any kind and has zero tolerance for racial profiling," Macy's said in a statement. Continued...

Sacred Texts
Written by: Jeffrey Richey
|The Analects by Confucius,
Translated by James Legge (1893)
|Section 1, Parts 1-6
Section 2, Parts 7-11
Section 3, Parts 12-15
Section 4, Parts 16-20
Kongzi himself left no writings. Collections of aphorisms and anecdotes related to Kongzi, such as the Lunyu ("Analects"), were assembled by Kongzi's disciples after his death. Neither the Lunyu nor other texts related to early Confucian thinkers were as important to Kongzi's followers as the Wujing ("Five Classics" of Western Zhou origin), which traditionally are attributed to Kongzi as writer or editor. It was these works of early Chinese literature that became the first canonical writings of the Confucian tradition in the 2nd century B.C.E., and it was not until the 12th century C.E. that texts directly concerned with Kongzi and other founders of the tradition attained primary scriptural status.
The Wujing did not attain their final form until Confucianism was adopted as the Han dynasty's official ideology and its most cherished texts became the basis of the civil service examination system that dominated official education in China for more than 2,000 years. They include the Yijing (Classic of Changes), the Shijing (Classic of Poetry), the Liji (Record of Rituals), the Shujing (Classic of Documents), and the Chunqiu (Spring and Autumn Annals). For early Confucians, the Yijing -- which originally was a manual of divination used by the Western Zhou court -- confirmed their view that human beings and the universe exist in a harmonious unity, which then allows events in one sphere (e.g., the natural world) to influence events in another sphere (e.g., human affairs), and thus allow for the prediction of such events. The Shijing was cherished for its many poetic depictions of unrequited love, which Confucians tended to interpret as allegories of the virtuous minister's longing for a sage ruler. The Liji describes court rituals and other ceremonies that Confucians sought to rediscover and reenact as a way of restoring society to its lapsed virtue. Both the Shujing and the Chunqiu were read by Confucians not only as records of past events, but also as precedents and models for the present and the future. All of these texts were based on Western Zhou writings, but all subsequently were edited and altered by Confucians, especially during the Han dynasty. From the Han dynasty until the Ming dynasty (1368-1644 C.E.), most candidates for government office in China were required to pass examinations based on their knowledge not only of the Wujing, but of the standard Confucian interpretations of these texts.

This product is great for children to expel some extra energy while gaining some trunk support, arm strenght, and leg strength (and coordination). My kids LOVE it! They use it in the house on the pergo floor and outside on the sidewalk. You can use it lying down on your tummy, sitting on it and walking with your feet, or take turns pushing each other! It is fun, easy, and inexpensive!

If you're like me then you have very little time on your hands, let alone making time for extra projects that pop up along the way during the day. For example I had to take care of the following tasks in a short amount of time and I didn't want to spend a ton of money:
- Graphic designer to create a blog header
- Launched several searches a search for a developer to do some minor coding on this website
- Carpet cleaning for my home that used a specific type of cleaner and not the run of the mill cleaning systems
- Dresser for my master bedroom
I could have gone the expensive route and hired a really expensive coder, developer and paid retail prices for the carpet cleaning and dresser for my bedroom.
Instead I opted to use Craigslist, Fiverr, Odesk and Angie's List.
Angie's List and Craigslist List
Both sites give you access to tons of small businesses that provide virtually any service you may need some in your home or otherwise. However, the difference between them is that Angie's List is a paid service that provides reviews while Craigslist is more like a free for all – literally. Anyone can post an ad stating that they provide a service, while Angie's List does the same, however, with customer verified reviews. Both a great as I've used them but I tend to stick with Craigslist as I've had great experience there. I won't find a cheap dresser on Angie's list but I can find a guy to repair the dresser if needed.
Fiverr and Odesk
Fiverr is marketplace (much like eBay) with services better known as "gigs" that start at $5. Yes, you can get some services performed for only $5 but the reality is that it tends to be the bare minimum. You often have to purchase more gigs to get everything that you want. For example, you can buy a logo for $5 but if you'd like it created with vector illustration with several revisions and not stock art then you may pay extra.
oDesk is great because not only do you connect with contractors in your own country but also from around the globe. I've met some really awesome folks from oDesk who've done great work at my requests (job posting). Depending on the country where your contractor resides the hourly rate or fixed price for their services may vary. As with everything your mileage may vary so it's important to read reviews, review portfolios and ask all of the important questions before hiring someone from oDesk. For example, a VA from the Phillipines may cost you less than a VA from the US. However, one may need to consider any potential language barriers that may arise or the higher rate from a VA here in the US. There are pros and cons to both sides but if you're like me, quality dictates who I choose to get the job done.
As you can see, feeling overwhelmed doesn't have to be a consistent feeling when you have resources to help you get the job done. Have you considered outsourcing your daily or important tasks to someone else? What was your experience? Have you ever used Craiglsist or Angie's List?

In 2006, Eliot Spitzer was elected governor of New York but within three years had to leave due to a sex scandal. He was succeeded by Lt. Governor David Patterson who resigned this week due to a sex scandal involving his driver who somehow had worked up to chief aide to the governor and advisor on political issues. The governor of South Carolina SHOULD have resigned due to a sex scandal, but refused just ass his wife and children walked out the door. The governor of Illinois resigned due to a host of improprieties and most probably will soon join another ex-governor who is in jail. Alaska governor, Sarah Palin, had better things to do than run a state–make money, that is. The list goes on and on and on. Former governor of Arkansas, Mike Huckabee, is not being blasted by his former supporters because he granted a clemency release to a man who wound up murdering someone.
As these events unfold, the Tea Party is wandering the nation denouncing the Federal government and urging that we return power to the states! Is there something wrong with this argument?

I know youre not lawyers but, what is the consensus on the legalities in Florida of carrying and shooting someone with a gun thats not yours. For instance one legally originally purchased by your father (father still alive)?
It is lawful to lend someone a firearm provided that they are lawfully able to possess it.
However, the loan must be temporary in nature and for a lawful sporting purpose if the recipient does not reside in the same state (18 USC 922(a)(5)).
If the father and child are both Florida residents and neither is prohibited from possessing a handgun, I do not see any legal issue.
There should be no need to transfer ownership. If you have a drivers license and borrow dad's car, does he need to transfer ownership of it for you to be able to drive it? Same principal applies.
There is no firearm registration, nor is there a requirement to carry the weapon you qualified with, therefore if you can legally own or possess the weapon, and he can legally own or possess the weapon then there is zero issue. If you or he cannot legally own or possess the weapon under federal law, then there is an issue. No "transfer of ownership" is required in your state. Some states require an FFL to transfer ownership. Yours does not.
Under the federal Gun Control Act of 1968, certain categories of persons are not eligible to possess a firearm or ammunition. These include
Fugitives from justice
Illegal aliens
Unlawful users of certain drugs
Those committed to a mental institution
Those convicted of crimes punishable by imprisonment for more than one year (which generally covers felonies)
Those convicted of crimes of domestic violence
The federal law not only creates a permanent ban on gun ownership for anyone convicted of a felony, it even applies to those under indictment for a felony.
With respect to "domestic violence," that term is interpreted very broadly in the context of the Gun Control Act. In 2009, the Supreme Court held that the Act's prohibition extends to anyone convicted of any crime involving "physical force or the threatened use of a deadly weapon" against a person with whom the perpetrator had a domestic relationship--even if the crime is just plain old "assault and battery" rather than a specific "domestic violence" charge.
Under the Gun Control Act, the conviction itself is enough to trigger the prohibition. It doesn't matter whether the person actually served a sentence for the felony or crime in question.
sounds like you have someone in mind? As others have stated, there is no registration of guns in Florida, and its perfectly legal to own a gun that was given to you.
Thanks all for the responses
If you can "legally possess" and "legally carry" a firearm in FL, the ownership of said firearm is irrelevant--unless it happened to be stolen.
We may not be lawyers, but we've read enough double talk, double think, to know that "jurisprudence" is code for.. "Uhhhh we don't know. So we'll just go with what we did last time."
Why not just buy it from your father for a small sum like $1.00 and then sell it back to him later?
