Who Buys Poetry Books?
According to Publishers Weekly, bookstore sales fell 2.6 percent in April, to $969 million. I wonder is poetry sales even count for a full percentage point. And I doubt these figures take into account indie bookstores.
I suppose poetry has longer shelf lives than most other genres, especially for dead poets. That's certainly true at the Grolier Poetry Book Shop, and if you visit to your local Barnes & Noble, peruse the selections by the usual suspects: Whitman, Angelou, Plath, Ginsburg, Eliot, etc. But modern poetry? Who buys these books?
Personally, I try to support as many poets as possible, including a few of you in the blogosphere. My guess is that I have about 150+ poetry books, which includes collections, anthologies, and journals—you may have more. Seems silly to count them. I try to pass on as many books as gifts. And when I do, I consider the recipient and try to find something that will match their sensibilities. We all give these books in times of joy and loss, for celebration and comfort. It's like a contract between the poet and reader, as if to say, "Here dear reader, I hope my work touches some part of you. Maybe I understand a little of what you're going through. Be well."
It's our family and friends who buy our first collections when they are published. They make up our poetry network. I doubt a modern poetry book will ever appear on the New York Times Best Sellers List, or be the book of the month on Oprah's Book Club. But we need to keep reaching out, buying books to help save an industry that seems to be either slowing dying or undergoing a transformation. Because with print-on-demand, a book's shelf life becomes irrelevant if there is no shelf.

WomPo is being a bit presumptuous it seems. I regularly buy books of poetry -- actually more than any other type of book. My cash flow has been light lately, but I've got several books I want to order in the coming weeks.
- Jill said...
I agree with Collin! This week, I bought 8 poetry books (dang internet...). And I have stacks and stacks of fiction, most of which languish while I continue to buy poetry!
- January said...
Agreed, but I think we may be exceptions to the rule.
I do know a few poets who choose to check out books from the library as opposed to buying them. They rarely buy books at a poetry reading, and they choose to download poems instead of purchasing collections. Maybe it's a question of economics over the desire to support other poets that drives their decisions.
I just enjoy reading too much not to have a steady stream of poetry books in the mail.
- jopre said...
There must be something in the air – I've been posting on this subject lately, triggered by Salt's "Just One Book" campaign.
Regarding people getting books out of the library, rather than buying – I'm lucky enough to live in a city with a fantastic library service. In a country as small as New Zealand, public libraries can be an essential source of income for small press publishers. But the libraries will only buy new poetry for as long as borrowers come in asking for it. So I say go for it! If you're passing by a public library, go in and get a poetry book! Ask for anything you're interested in that they don't have – show that poetry's audience may be poverty-stricken, but passionate. And if a small percentage of those borrowers go on to buy their own copies, all the better!
- jeannine said...
Yes, even though I get a lot of poetry books as review copies, I still buy a lot of poetry books - a couple a month, I would say. Plus, I order individual books of poetry for my poetry classes, not anthologies.
Go to Open Books in Seattle sometime - there are always people in there perusing the latest and greatest books by real, gasp, living poets! If there were more such outlets for contemporary poetry shopping, there would probably be more book buying...it's nice to peruse a book before buying.
- Shann Palmer said...
I try to "buy the book" at every reading I attend. What I can't use or don't want to keep, I donate to local high schools or give to poet friends. I know a few poets locally who have stacks of poetry books all over their house. Maybe we're not the norm here in Richmond, Virginia.

I probably bought around 10 last year. I ordered most things online.

Hoperatives, the informative beer blog that covers the Cincinnati area, reports that Rock Bottom Cincinnati's award-winning brewer Mitchell Dougherty has left the company to take over Eight Ball Brewing, a new operation being set up at The Party Source in Bellevue, Ky., across the Ohio River from downtown Cincinnati.
The website also says Rock Bottom has already found its new brewer: Gerry OConnell, who was the head brewer at the Cleveland ChopHouse until it shut down last week. The move amounts to a transfer for OConnell because the ChopHouse and Rock Bottom brands are both owned by CraftWorks Restaurants & Breweries. To read the Hoperatives report, click here.

I found out that at least among the people I know and see in our area breast feeding still isn't all that common. Definitely less than half the people breastfeed for more than a week or two, and most who do stop around 6-7 months. Those who breastfeed for a very long time stop at a year. It seems like people think that after a year it's super gross and wrong.
I know babies nurse less the older they get so it might never come up as an issue, but I really want to try for a year at the very minimum, and more if I can. Has anyone run into people who say it's gross or wrong?
What do you tell people who criticize extended breastfeeding?

Take Five: Fab swimming pools that will make you want to grab your Speedos this instant...
Nicola brady plunges into the best pools in the world.
Cascading from mountain slopes, overlooking a national park or an oasis in the desert, Nicola Brady plunges into the best pools in the world...
Hanging Gardens Ubud.
Where: Ubud, Bali
Why: There may be a private pool attached to each of the 38 villas at Hanging Gardens Ubud, but it's the resort's main swimming pool which is the real show stopper. Lined with Batu Chandi stone, the split-level infinity pool is located high over dense rainforest, creating the unique sensation of swimming over the tree tops.
Down in the valley, monkeys swing between the trees by the Ayung River, and the Hindu Dalem Segara Temple is visible across the gorge. You can dine in the pool itself, upon an antique wooden deck that floats on the water's surface, surrounded by candles, drapes and the magical sounds of the forest at dusk.
How: Rates start from €440 per night. You can fly to Denpasar with Etihad (Etihad.com), via Abu Dhabi and Kuala Lumpur, from around €681 return in November. Hanging Gardens Ubud is about an hour away by road.
See: hanginggardensubud.com
Where: Utah, USA
Why: At Amangiri (peaceful mountain), the pool acts as the central hub of the resort, incorporating a huge chunk of desert stone into its design. The undulating rock sinks into the lapping waters, where swimmers are blessed with views out to the protected desert valley.
The resort itself blends into the rocky landscape, with the kind of desolate beauty only a wide expanse of desert can bring.
There are 34 suites in total, all with differing views of dunes, plateaus or distant mountains. The Mesa View suites are particularly spectacular at sunset, when the mesas are tinted rose and gold by the dipping sun.
How: Room rates start from €894 per night. Most visitors drive from Las Vegas, which is a scenic four-hour drive from Amangiri. BudgetAir (BudgetAir.ie) currently have flights to Las Vegas with British Airways via London from around €589 in November. See: amanresorts.com
Singita Pamushana Lodge
Where: Zimbabwe
Why: Twenty years ago, the Malilangwe Trust was established to protect the natural beauty of the wilderness neighbouring the Gonarezhou National Park in Zimbabwe. As part of the trust, Singita Pamushana Lodge now sits in the Malilangwe Wildlife Reserve, protecting and admiring the spectacular 130,000 acres on which it sits.
In the middle of it all you'll find a calm and tranquil swimming pool, where you can gaze out upon the reserve and try to spot rare and endangered wildlife, including black rhinos, sable antelope and 14 species of eagles.
How: Rates start from €883 per adult per night, full board, including road transfers and a variety of safaris twice daily. You'll need to fly to Johannesburg before transferring to Buffalo Range International Airport with Federal Air. Flights to Johannesburg via London start at around €772 with British Airways (ba.com) in November.
See: singita.com
NB: All prices are subject to change/availability.
Banyan Tree Seychelles
Where: Mahé, Seychelles
Why: There's no shortage of places to take a dip at the Banyan Tree resort on Mahé island. You can dive into the crystal clear waters of Intendance Bay, sink into your gigantic bathtub, or frolic in the private pools that adjoin each villa.
When you tire of those, the main infinity pool is an impressive feat, its turquoise water jutting out to reach the crashing waves of the Indian Ocean. Islands like these are where infinity pools really come to life, with immaculate waters blending seamlessly into the horizon.
How: Prices at Banyan Tree Seychelles start from €880 per night for a hillside pool villa, including breakfast. The hotel is 30 minutes from Mahé International Airport. You can fly to Mahé with Etihad (Etihad.com), connecting in Abu Dhabi, with return fares currently starting at around €745 in November.
See: banyantree.com/en/seychelles
Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc
Where: Cap d'Antibes, France
Why: If you're going to "do" Cannes, you might as well do it in style. The Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc is poised on the rugged cliffs of the Cap d'Antibes coast, with Cannes Bay just around the corner. Take a dip in the pool, and you can spot the millionaire's yachts drifting along the French Riviera, as well as the Lérins Islands.
And you'll feel just as glamorous as the best of them from this nifty infinity pool, which emerges out of a rocky wall and mirrors the sparkling waters before you.
How: Rates at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc start from €830 for a Traditional Room including breakfast and transfers. Fly to Nice with Aer Lingus (aerlingus.com), with fares in September currently starting from €77 one way.

(WBIR - Knoxville) It's been a big season for the UT men's basketball team. A strong ending to the season concluded Friday night at the NCAA tournament after the Vols lost to Michigan 71 - 73
Saturday, dozens of fans gathered at UT's Pratt Pavilion to welcome the team back home. All of them said the men have no reason to hold their heads down.
Jeremy Key said, "Top 16 teams in the country. There are a lot of teams out there who would like to be where we're at right now."
Brad Dehler said, "I knew we had the talent to, but I did not think we'd be playing in the Sweet Sixteen game."
The Vols finished their season with a 24 - 13 record.
Jennie Grubb said, "This was a special season for us because it was the first one that we went as a whole family to games."
The men's basketball season was filled with lots of ups and down both on and off the court.
Vincent Pisano said, "When all the Pearl music started, they rallied around Coach Martin."
Mid-season, More than 12,000 fans signed a petition asking the Vols to rehire Bruce Pearl as head coach.
Patrick Eaddy said, "At the first of the year I didn't support Cuonzo Martin, I didn't sign the petition. But lately when the team started winning it turned me into a Cuonzo Martin fan."
More recently, there's a second petition in which UT fans are asking to give Coach Martin a raise and a contract extension.
"I think Coach Martin's great. I think he's the right man for the job," said Dehler.
Fans say it's a job well done by both the coaching staff and of course the players.
Key said, "Good job guys. We're behind you all the way. Don't be too disappointed or hard on yourselves. Go Vols!"

I work primarily from a strengths based perspective. Instead of looking focusing on the problems or "illness" that people have, I work to increase their coping and build on their strengths. I believe that anyone can get better if they want to. Most of the time clients are stronger than they think that they are - they only need strategies, tools, and encouragement to achieve their goals. I have worked successfully with people who struggle with a variety of concerns from dating to heroin addictions, eating disorders to career concerns. By working to connect the dots from past patters to future goals, we are able to see tangible results over time.

As a clinical and developmental psychologist, I tend to take a strength based perspective when working with clients to enhance their functioning and promote growth. It is important to help individuals acquire necessary skills for coping with various life challenges, and to examine old patterns of thinking and longstanding behaviors that may not be serving the well any longer.

That means this roof mod would have the same, if not greater, affect on torque production as the 4.10 I just installed...
...if that's the case, I'm ordering one today.
Luminor, I'm talking about torque on the chassis of the car, which produces roll, not engine torque which produces pull on the car. Torque = Force * length. Torque is why a wrench helps you loosen bolts and nuts and such...

Now extending this notion to the torque at rear wheels is one hell of a stretch!
OK, well Force = Mass * acceleration right? (I feel like I'm teaching high school physics here)
Anyway...8 lbs is rough estimate of the weight difference anyway, probably more like 10-12 lbs. Well the point of this is that that 8 lbs directed down, is the mass of the object times gravity...lets call that g. The mass difference of the roof is always going to be the same...but the acceleration will change.
Now, you remove that 10-12 lbs. You figure the center of mass of the roof is about 4 ft off the ground...estimate...
So...if you are pulling one g of lateral acceleration of the car, you would LOSE about 40 ft lbs of torque (twist) on the chassis just by virtue of where you lost the weight on the car because that 1 g laterally is like aiming the weight of roof at a 90 degree angle to the normal direction of gravity (like turning the car on its side). All this means for you is when you turn hard, it puts less stress on the car because you where you lost the weight.

Red Wine Sangria for a Party
Be the first to review
READY IN: 20mins
Recipe by patticakes 3
i have to give full credit to BecR for this recipe. my family and i love her sangria #112772 so much that i have to make it in larger quantities as our neighbors clamor for it, too! i am posting the quantities i use to make lots more than BecR's original recipe. this is a red wine and citrus sangria and served best when chilled. it looks pretty in wine glasses with ice and slices of the fruit, too. thanks, BecR!
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 liters of carlo rossi Burgundy wine (or other hearty red wine)
- 2 cups orange juice
- 1 cup fresh lime juice (around 8-10 fresh limes, squeezed)
- 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 1⁄2 cups sugar
- 3⁄4 cup triple sec (or orange flavored liqueur)
- 2 -4 sliced oranges
- 3 -4 sliced limes
- 2 sliced lemons
Directions See How It's Made
- first of all, this will not all fit in a big tupperware pitcher. to make this work, pour about 2/3 of the jug of wine into the pitcher. add all the other ingredients except for the sliced fruit.
- (alternative: mix up all ingredients except the burgundy. pour half into each of two large pitchers. then pour half the burgundy into each pitcher. stir well before pouring. yes, we actually drink this all fairly quickly with a party here or lots of neighbors!).
- i make a simple syrup using the 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1 1/2 cups of water and follow a recipe zaar recipe, of course. this only takes about 5 minutes. let the syrup cool before adding it to the pitcher.
- if you can manage to wait a whole day, make this the night before. it's good after it sits and chills. we can't wait that long and start icing our glasses and enjoying it right away!
- to use up the rest of your burgundy, pour the glasses 1/3 full of burgundy before you add the sangria when you are pouring the first bunch of glasses. when you think the remaining wine will fit in the pitcher, pour it in to the pitcher. don't forget to stir it all up.
- i arrange the sliced fruit on a pretty plate when i am serving this sangria.
- your friends and neighbors will love you if you share this with them!

ALERT: Barack Hussein Obama has signed ANOTHER Executive Order -- this time,
he's new police powers... to FOREIGN POLICE!
YOU READ THAT RIGHT: Obama's new "Executive Order 13524 -- Amending
Executive Order 12425" grants the International Criminal Police Organization
(INTERPOL) "rights" on American soil that place it beyond the reach of our
own law enforcement agencies, such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation
This lays the ground work for INTERPOL do do what the President cannot
legally justify doing. INTERPOL, on instructions from the Obama regime, will
now be able to carry out actions prohibited to our own law enforcement!
Barack Obama is taking the U.S. down the path to MARTIAL LAW -
As Andrew C. McCarthy at the National Review wrote, "You just can't make up
how brazen this crowd is... President Obama quietly signed an executive
order that makes an international police force immune from the restraints of
American law." He went on to report:
Interpol is the shorthand for the International Criminal Police
Organization. It was established in 1923 and operates in about 188
countries. By executive order 12425, issued in 1983, President Reagan
recognized Interpol as an international organization and gave it some of the
privileges and immunities customarily extended to foreign diplomats.
Interpol, however, is also an active law-enforcement agency, so critical
privileges and immunities (set forth in Section 2(c) of the International
Organizations Immunities Act) were withheld. Specifically, Interpol's
property and assets remained subject to search and seizure, and its archived
records remained subject to public scrutiny under provisions like the
Freedom of Information Act. Being constrained by the Fourth Amendment, FOIA,
and other limitations of the Constitution and federal law that protect the
liberty and privacy of Americans is what prevents law-enforcement and its
controlling government authority from becoming tyrannical.
On Wednesday, however, for no apparent reason, President Obama issued an
executive order removing the Reagan limitations. That is, Interpol's
property and assets are no longer subject to search and confiscation, and
its archives are now considered inviolable. This international police force
(whose U.S. headquarters is in the Justice Department in Washington) will be
unrestrained by the U.S. Constitution and American law while it operates in
the United States and affects both Americans and American interests outside
the United States.
As Steve Schippert and Clyde Middleton's analysis of Obama's new Executive
Order concludes, "Inviolable archives means INTERPOL records are beyond US
citizens' Freedom of Information Act requests and from American legal or
investigative discovery ("unless such immunity be expressly waived").
Property and assets being immune from search and confiscation means
precisely that. Wherever they may be in the United States. This could
conceivably include human assets - Americans arrested on our soil by
INTERPOL officers."
STILL think Obama isn't putting all of the pieces together to implement
MARTIAL LAW? WAKE UP -- Congress has to act NOW to STOP him, which means WE
have to FORCE Congress to act!
This is obviously only ONE of the pieces that Obama has moved into place on
his giant chess board. As we already reported, Obama has already taken a
giant leap forward in his drive to institute martial law: according to 2009
Nobel Peace Prize nominee Jim Garrow, he claims he was told by a top
military veteran that the Obama administration's "litmus test" for new
military leaders isn't whether they are the best military commanders...
It's whether or not they will obey an order to fire on U.S. Citizens!
Garrow was nominated three years ago for the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize
and is the founder of The Pink Pagoda Girls, an organization dedicated to
rescuing baby girls from "gendercide" in China. Garrow has been personally
involved in "helping rescue more than 36,000 Chinese baby girls from death."
He is a public figure, not an anonymous voice on the Internet, which makes
his claim all the more disturbing.
"I have just been informed by a former senior military leader that Obama is
using a new "litmus test" in determining who will stay and who must go in
his military leaders. Get ready to explode folks. "The new litmus test of
leadership in the military is if they will fire on US citizens or not".
Those who will not are being removed," Garrow wrote on his Facebook page,
later following up the post by adding the man who told him is, "one of
America's foremost military heroes," whose goal in divulging the information
was to "sound the alarm."
Garrow's claim is even more explosive given that the country is in the
throes of a national debate about gun control, with gun rights advocates
instisting that the founders put the Second Amendment in the Constitution
primarily as a defense against government tyranny.
It also follows reports on Sunday that General James Mattis, head of the
United States Central Command, "is being told to vacate his office several
months earlier than planned." As reporter Paul Joseph Watson commented:
"Concerns over US troops being given orders to fire on American citizens in
the event of mass gun confiscation first arose in 1995 when hundreds of
Marines at 29 Palms, California were given a survey as part of an academic
project by Navy Lieutenant Commander Ernest Guy Cunningham which asked the
Marines if they would, 'Fire upon U.S. citizens who refuse or resist
confiscation of firearms banned by the United States government.'
The survey was subsequently leaked because many of the Marines who took it
were shocked by the tone of the question.
The US Military has clearly outlined innumerable civil emergency scenarios
under which troops would be authorized to fire on U.S. citizens.
In July 2012, the process by which this could take place was made clear in a
leaked US Army Military Police training manual for 'Civil Disturbance
Operations' (PDF) dating from 2006. Similar plans were also outlined in an
updated manual released in 2010 entitled FM 3-39.40 Internment and
Resettlement Operations.
The 2006 document outlines how military assets will be used to 'help local
and state authorities to restore and maintain law and order' in the event of
mass riots, civil unrest or a declaration of martial law.
On page 20 of the manual, rules regarding the use of 'deadly force' in
confronting "dissidents" on American soil are made disturbingly clear with
the directive that a, 'Warning shot will not be fired.'
Given that second amendment advocates are now being depicted as dangerous
terrorists by the federal government and local law enforcement, Garrow's
claim is sure to stoke controversy given that Americans are seeing their gun
rights eviscerated while the federal government itself stockpiles billions
of bullets."
DID YOU GET THAT? You and I are now being labeled as potential "terrorists"
because we believe in the Constitution -- and Obama is signing Executive
Orders and making Executive decisions to STOP patriotic Americans like us
from opposing him!
It's now quite obvious: Obama is stepping up his drive towards MARTIAL LAW
in America.
One way he's doing it is by selling us out to the RUSSIANS. As Breitbart has
"In an attempt to seize total control over national security and bypass
congress, a frightening new step by the Obama Administration is coming into
play. As noted in Friday's Wall Street Journal in an op-ed by John Bolton
and John Woo, a State Department advisory group that is run by former
Secretary of Defense William Perry is advising that the U.S. and Russia both
reduce nuclear weapons without a treaty, as a treaty would require
ratification by Congress. This would allow Obama and his executive branch to
unilaterally cut our nuclear weaponry and ignore the treaty clause of the
This is OUTRAGEOUS -- Obama isn't just trying to destroy America's economic
system... he's out to destroy our national defense too. And combined with
all of his recent Executive Orders granting himself more and more unlimited
and UNCONSTITUTIONAL powers, it's obvious that he's driving us towards
Again and again... One after another after another... Obama keeps signing
more and more Executive Orders and new laws to get around Congress, get
around the U.S. Constitution, and consolidate his POWER...
Now he's preparing to sign a newly-passed bill -- a bill which will actually
strengthen last year's NDAA bill... that codified Martial Law! According to
an article recently published in the Examiner:
"NDAA 2012, according to rights experts, codified martial law. Award-winning
journalist Chris Hedges sued the U.S. government over NDAA 2012, calling it
'corporate fascism.' NDAA 2013, according to legal experts this week,
strengthened the former act. By failing to veto NDAA 2012, and signing it on
New Years Eve, President Obama compromised national security and the rule of
law, according to Raha Wala, advocacy counsel for Human Rights First. There
is consequently little hope Obama will veto NDAA 2013, although appeal is
being lodged for him to do so."
Did you get that? Obama is about to sign into law the latest version of the
National Defense Authorization Act -- which will ADD to all of the Martial
Law powers he's been giving himself through Executive Orders!
Once again, it's obvious that Barack Obama is preparing to DECLARE MARTIAL
LAW -- we MUST STOP HIM NOW!
Remember the recent headline that said it all: "Obama's Lastest Executive
Order Freezes Americans' Accounts"!
YOU READ THAT RIGHT -- now he's going directly after Americans' bank
"So, you think your capital is safe. You think it would take a law to freeze
your assets permanently.
Silly you.
All it takes is an executive order signed by the President. Here is the most
recent example. It applies to all Americans: individuals and corporations.
The way this legal precedent is being set is simple: it targets the latest
bad guys in the ever-rotating roulette wheel of evil. ("Round and round it
goes. Where it stops, nobody knows.") Hillary and Turbo Tim Geithner will be
brought into the process. They will decide, meaning faceless bureaucrats
under them will decide.
It's all in bureaucratese, the better to hide what the Executive Order is
really doing... To find out who the targets are, and why the President knew
he could get away with this, click the link..."
Of course, that Executive Order came right after even more OUTRAGEOUS news:
While the whole country was distracted with a Killer Storm and a Killer
Presidential Election, Barack Hussein Obama was continuing with his plans to
initiate MARTIAL LAW!
Remember these almost unbelievable headlines?
"Just before Hurricane Sandy, Obama signed executive order merging
Homeland Security with private sector to create VIRTUAL DICTATORSHIP"
The news article under that headline only gets worse: "While all eyes were
on Hurricane Sandy in the days leading up to the storm's breach on the
mainland of the Northeast, the White House was busy devising new ways to
enslave Americans under the guise of protecting national security. On
October 26, 2012, Barack Obama quietly signed an Executive Order (EO)
establishing the so-called Homeland Security Partnership Council, a
public-private partnership that basically merges the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) with local governments and the private sector for the implied
purpose of giving the Executive Branch complete and limitless control over
the American people."
This Executive Order went further than any other in conflating federal power
structures with local governments and the private sector. Based on the
unbelievable language contained in the EO itself, the federal government
"appears ready to begin rapidly expanding its command and control operations
at the local level," according to a story in Natural News, by establishing a
vast network of homeland security "partnerships" throughout the country,
which will be tasked with reporting back to the central command center and
feeding "intelligence" information as requested by federal officials.
"[W]e must tap the ingenuity outside government through strategic
partnerships with the private sector, nongovernmental organizations,
foundations, and community-based organizations," says the EO. It goes on to
add that the merger between the federal government and the private sector is
necessary to facilitate the government's desire to better "address homeland
security priorities," which includes things like "responding to natural
disasters ... (and) preventing terrorism by utilizing diverse perspectives,
skills, tools, and resources."
An official "Steering Committee" will be established with representatives
from virtually every single federal agency, and this committee will be
guided by a separate council on how to best incorporate the federal
government and DHS into every nook and cranny of American society. Once
established, this council will maintain control over presumably all aspects
of society by overseeing a secret police force comprised of spies from
schools, community groups, churches, and various other local institutions.
"[W]e must institutionalize an all-of-Nation effort to address the evolving
threats to the United States," adds the Executive Order, which has YET to be
covered AT ALL in the mainstream media.
But why would we be surprised at that? The media STILL hasn't covered one of
the biggest bombshells in recent weeks:
One of the leading global magazines of politics, economics, and ideas,
Foreign Policy Magazine, posted a bombshell on their website:
"Gen. Boykin: U.S. economy close to collapse, could result in martial law"
You read that right: retired Lt. General William Boykin, a former CIA Deputy
Director of Special Activities, has said that the U.S. economy "is just
about the break" and collapse. And when the dam gives way, severe food
shortages and pervasive violence throughout America will result in an
executive declaration of martial law.
Those "in the know" are trying to WARN us: Barack Obama is preparing to
This former CIA General's warning is HUGE!!! "I'll be very honest with you;
the situation in America could be such that martial law is actually
warranted, and that situation in my view could occur if we had an economic
collapse," says Gen. Boykin:
"The dam is just about to break on our economy, and I think when it does,
there's going to be a major disruption of the distribution of food," he
added. "And I think what you'll see particularly in the inner cities is you
will see riots, civil unrest that ultimately might justify MARTIAL LAW... I
think those people that are not in the major cities are going to be far
better off, but it could actually justify martial law," Boykin continued.
"And I'm praying that we will not see that kind of collapse, we won't see a
disruption of the distribution of food in America. That's probably the
single biggest problem."
How much more proof do we need? It's obvious what Obama is planning for! Not
only has he ordered for his Department of Homeland Security (DHS) 1.2
billion rounds of ammo and armored checkpoint booths... now reports are
coming in that DHS has now been given fully-armored APCs -- the same
standard used by our military:
"To the list of recent unsettling developments at DHS and other federal
agencies -- such as... massive DHS ammo buys, a creepy new biometric
surveillance system just being rolled-out by the FBI, and drones buzzing our
backyards with cameras -- we can now add the appearance across the country
of not just heavily-armored military grade Humvees, but 'GLS' armored
personnel carriers (APC's) -- 2500 of them to be exact. According to reports
the Department of Homeland Security... already have thousands of heavily
armored vehicles in DHS 'Police/Rescue' livery, resplendent in either a
dashing Gulf War tan or menacing stealth-anthracite..."
Once again, it's obvious that Barack Obama is preparing to DECLARE MARTIAL
LAW -- we MUST STOP HIM NOW!
These news reports of preparations for a police state came after we had
already learned that Barack Hussein Obama was planning to sign ANOTHER
"martial law" style Executive Order -- this time to enable him to take over
America's "critical infrastructure," such as the POWER GRID and FINANCIAL
Federal News Radio reported that the Obama regime was preparing to sign off
on this new Executive Order, since patriots like YOU AND I have been able to
STOP Obama's so-called "cybersecurity" bill so far:
"The White House so far has failed to get a bill passed by both houses of
Congress to improve the cybersecurity of the nation's critical
infrastructure, so it wants to take an alternative approach. The
administration has created a draft executive order detailing how, within its
authority, it would improve the information assurance of the nation's
critical infrastructure, such as the power grid and financial industries...
The draft EO, which Federal News Radio viewed a draft copy of, closely
follows the second version of comprehensive cyber legislation introduced by
Sens. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Susan Collins (R- Maine) in July."
DID YOU GET THAT? These people failed to get their Martial Law bills passed
in Congress, so Obama is ready to BYPASS our elected officials and do it
himself -- AGAIN!
Of course, that wasn't all he did. THAT outrageous action by Barack Obama
came not long after he announced his plans to sign yet ANOTHER Executive
Order, which will enable him to take over the INTERNET!
As WorldNet Daily reported,
Obama has signaled his intention to push through his Internet agenda via
executive order. This, after last week's failed attempt to bring the
Democrat-supported Cybersecurity Act of 2012 to a full vote in the U.S.
Senate. The bill would have given federal regulatory agencies the ability to
mandate cybersecurity recommendations on critical infrastructure power and
utility companies.
As reported in The Hill, responding to a question about whether President
Obama was considering advancing his party's cyber-plan through an executive
order, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney didn't rule out the
possibility. "In the wake of congressional inaction and Republican stall
tactics, unfortunately, we will continue to be hamstrung by outdated and
inadequate statutory authorities that the legislation would have fixed,"
Carney said. And John Brennan, Obama's counter terrorism adviser, said at an
event at the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington, "If the Congress is
not going to act on something like this, then the president wants to make
sure that we're doing everything possible."
He just doesn't seem to stop! The threat to take over the Internet came hot
on the heels of another Executive Order, signed by Obama last July, which
ONCE AGAIN brings America a step closer to finding itself under MARTIAL
LAW -- this time by giving him dictator-type powers over ALL communications
during any so-called "crisis" that he might declare!
As reported by "Tea Party Economist" blogger, Dr. Gary North:
"Obama has signed an executive order outlining the nationalization of the
entire communications system. It is written in bureaucratese. I have no
doubt that it was not understood by Obama. It is too detailed. It sets up a
powerful new bureaucracy. The language is limited to a national emergency.
But an emergency on this scale is almost inconceivable. The government never
discusses what could justify an executive order this comprehensive.
If such a threat to the nation (and the world) really exists, the voters
should be given a detailed description of its nature. Congress should debate
this. Solving it should be a high national priority. If the answer is,
"discussing this would create panic," then democracy is a sham. If the
answer is, "we don't know what might happen, so we are asserting total
control in advance," then this executive order should never have been
signed. It transfers too much power to bureaucrats to determine when to
implement it.
As Dr. North declares, "This is no longer a nation run by the Constitution."
The executive order itself is long, and very few people will actually bother
to read it. But what it does is very clear: it authorizes the White House to
take over the entire communications system, simply on "the authority of the
The bottom line is this: Obama thinks that this power belongs to the
We've seen this coming. We even reported on how a government "whistleblower"
inside the Obama regime blew the lid off of why Barack Hussein Obama has
signed all of these Executive Orders that give him the power to declare
martial law across America!
According to this whistleblower, Obama, through the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) and other agencies and "czars," is plotting a major
"Reichstag" event to generate racial riots and produce the justification for
martial law!
This DHS whistleblower informed the Canada Free Press "that the DHS is
actively preparing for massive social unrest inside the United States. He
then corrected himself, stating that 'a civil war' is the more appropriate
term. 'Certain elements of the government are not only expecting and
preparing for it, they are actually facilitating it.'"
A "Reichstag event" refers to a fire started in Germany's legislature during
Hitler's rise to power. The fire allowed him to grab emergency powers and
eliminate his opposition. While he blamed it on Communists, historians have
long believed that Hitler started the fire himself.
According to the anonymous "whistleblower" inside Obama's DHS, this
"Reichstag event" would take the form of a staged assassination attempt
against Barack Obama, "carefully choreographed" and manufactured by Obama
operatives. It would subsequently be blamed on "white supremacists" and used
to enrage the black community to rioting and looting, the DHS source warned.
The Obama administration would then use the violence and chaos they created
as justification for the imposition of martial law in major urban cities in
America, the creation of DHS checkpoints, restriction of travel, and more:
"The DHS takes their marching orders from the Obama administration, from
Obama himself, but mostly from his un-appointed czars. And Jarrett,
especially Valerie Jarrett. Don't think for a minute that the administration
is doing anything to stabilize events in the U.S. They are revolutionaries,
and revolutionaries thrive on chaos," he added.
This is getting TOO BIG to hide -- now, even the MEDIA is starting to pick
up on the shocking news:
Barack Hussein Obama has signed Executive Orders giving him the power to
declare MARTIAL LAW in America!
On a recent episode of his Fox News show, Sean Hannity himself declared:
"Tonight... we shine the spotlight on an executive order that the White
House was hoping that you would never learn about. Now, the President signed
the National Defense Resources Preparedness [NDRP] executive order late
Friday afternoon. And since that time, now the measure has been virtually
ignored by the mainstream media. Now, the order essentially gives the
president of the United States absolute power over any and all American
resources during both times of peace and national crisis. Now, this
includes, but it's not limited to food and livestock, water, plants, energy,
health resources, transportation and construction materials and gives the
government the ability to, quote, 'control the general distribution of any
material, including applicable services in this civilian market.'"
Hannity then went on to discuss how "this would give the President of the
United States the authority to declare basically Martial Law during times of
peace. And to be sure, this is simply the latest string of actions taken by
the administration that ignore the basic principles of our constitution."
Barack Obama is OUT OF CONTROLNOW
As you can see, Obama's preparations to institute MARTIAL LAW IN AMERICA are
coming together quickly.
FIRST, he signed an Executive Order, for so-called "National Defense
Resources Preparedness" -- that would give him DICTATOR POWERS whenever he
decides he "needs" them.
THEN, he signed ANOTHER "Executive Order", this time to take control of
America's domestic natural gas production.
Then, he did it AGAIN -- he signed YET ANOTHER Executive Order... declaring
INTERNATIONAL LAW for the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
As reported sarcastically by blogger Henry Shivley:
"On May 1, 2012, our Glorious Leader, Premier Barack Obama AKA Barry Soetoro
AKA Barry the Rat, signed yet another Executive Order - Promoting
International Regulatory Cooperation. This dictate is designed to
standardize regulations between the United States and its so-called trading
What is a regulation? A law. So what is actually being attempted here is a
standardization of international law. It is an absolute violation of the
Constitution for the United States to legislate our law outside of our
And what exactly can this unconstitutional Executive Order lead to? As
Shivley states, "Considering the many international security agreements the
traitors occupying our highest seats of power have entered into, this latest
executive order can absolutely be used to institute gun confiscation
laws/regulations, without any consent by our Congress or our Judicial. And
once these foreign laws are brought to the United States under the various
security agreements, foreign troops will be brought in to enforce the
foreign laws upon the people of the United States."
This Executive Order came hot on the heels of the one that Barack Obama
signed to take control of America's domestic natural gas production. As
columnist Mac Slavo reports:
"While Americans focused their attention on the Colombian controversy
involving U.S. Secret Service agents, prostitutes and excessive drinking,
President Obama quietly signed his latest Presidential Executive Order.
The Supporting Safe and Responsible Development of Unconventional Domestic
Natural Gas Resources Executive Order seeks to create what amounts to a
Presidential super committee that will oversee the regulation and
development of the 'unconventional' natural gas industry for the purpose of
ensuring a long-term natural gas supply for the United States, as well as to
do so in a safe and environmentally responsible manner."
So now, by Presidential decree alone, the federal government can "coordinate
action" through thirteen core federal agencies against any domestic natural
gas production facility -- all according to standards determined to be
"appropriate" not by law, but because of political agenda.
Moreover, because a key stated purpose of this Executive Order is to "ensure
long-term supplies," Barack Obama's decree gives the federal government the
ability to shut down gas production operations as THEY see fit, which can
lead directly to government price fixing and centralized control of an
essential natural energy resource.
While Obama's Executive Order aims to curtail some of the practices of the
hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," industry, it further expands government
control over our lives through more centralization of power and bureaucracy.
THINGS ARE GETTING WORSE. As experts start to dig deeper into Barack Hussein
Obama's Executive Order for so-called "National Defense Resources
Preparedness," they are reporting just how bad this really is: OBAMA IS
As detailed in this report from the Canada Free Press:
Under this order the heads of these cabinet level positions; Agriculture,
Energy, Health and Human Services, Transportation, Defense and Commerce can
take food, livestock, fertilizer, farm equipment, all forms of energy, water
resources, all forms of civil transportation (meaning any vehicles, boats,
planes), and any other materials, including construction materials from
wherever they are available. This is probably why the government has been
visiting farms with GPS devices, so they know exactly where to go when they
turn this one on.
Specifically, the government is allowed to allocate materials, services, and
facilities as deemed necessary or appropriate. They decide what necessary or
appropriate means.
It's up to YOU AND ME to STOP HIM
We're not alone in reporting this. It's starting to be reported in more and
more media sources.
For example, this report comes from the Russia Times:
"As folks headed out to happy hour last Friday evening, President Obama
signed an executive order that could potentially give him the power to
institute martial law in the United States in times of peace or during a
national threat... Many Americans were shocked to find out that this order
gives the president practically unlimited power over US citizens and their
property. All in the name of national security of course."
As we said, Barack Hussein Obama signed a Presidential Executive Order,
which would give him the powers of a DICTATOR -- whenever HE thinks it's
"necessary" to institute MARTIAL LAW!
According to press reports, "A White House order updating federal emergency
powers has raised alarm among some conservative commentators, and U.S. Rep.
Sandy Adams, that President Barack Obama is attempting to grab
unconstitutional powers."
A columnist with The Washington Times declared the mid-March order -- an
update of a 60-year-old document outlining the president's authority in a
national emergency -- "stunning in its audacity and a flagrant violation of
the Constitution." The conservative Drudge Report website linked to it with
the headline, "Martial Law?"
And Adams, R-Orlando, said it "leaves the door open for the president to
give himself control over American resources during both times of peace, and
national crisis."
It's almost unbelievable what Barack Hussein Obama is trying to do -- BUT
IT'S TRUE. According to a bombshell article in the Washington Times,
"President Obama has given himself the powers to declare martial law --
especially in the event of a war with Iran. It is a sweeping power grab that
should worry every American."
On March 16, the White House released an executive order, "National Defense
Resources Preparedness." The document is stunning in its audacity and a
flagrant violation of the Constitution. It states that, in case of a war or
national emergency, the federal government has the authority to take over
almost every aspect of American society. Food, livestock, farming equipment,
manufacturing, industry, energy, transportation, hospitals, health care
facilities, water resources, defense and construction -- all of it could
fall under the full control of Mr. Obama. The order empowers the president
to dispense these vast resources as he sees fit during a national crisis.
In short, according to the Times, the order gives Barack Obama the ability
to IMPOSE MARTIAL LAW: "He now possesses the potential powers of a dictator.
The order is a direct assault on individual liberties, private property
rights and the rule of law. It is blatantly unconstitutional. The executive
branch is arrogating responsibilities precluded by the Constitution without
even asking the permission of Congress. The order gives Mr. Obama a blank
check to erect a centralized authoritarian state."
But why this -- and why now?
SIMPLE -- because he's about to provoke a confrontation with IRAN, which
could give him the excuse to implement martial law in America:
"Obama may be ready to launch devastating airstrikes on Iranian nuclear
facilities. If that should happen, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has
promised massive retaliation. American troops will be targeted by Iranian
proxies in Iraq and Afghanistan. American embassies will be struck across
the Middle East and North Africa. Most ominously, Iranian-backed Hezbollah
cells could launch devastating terrorist attacks in major U.S. cities,
killing numerous citizens. The war may well come home, triggering domestic
chaos. These are the very real risks of a major conflict with Iran."
As columnist Jeffrey Kuhner notes, "The president does not - and should
not - have the authority to subordinate the entire private economy to the
government, especially without the consent of Congress and the American
people. It is national socialism masquerading as military security. This is
why conservatives -- those who are serious about defending our
constitutional republic - should demand that the executive order be repealed
Thankfully, there are Members of Congress who are standing UP for the U.S.
Constitution. For example, in the last session, Rep. Sandy Adams (R-FL)
introduced H. Con. Res. 110 in response to President Obama's blatant attempt
to go around the Constitution and institute martial law if HE thinks it's
In introducing her bill, Rep. Adams stated, "President Obama issued a
National Defense Resources Preparedness Executive Order on March 16, 2012
that raises some serious concerns in its wording and intent. The order has
historically been based on the Defense Production Act of 1950 (50 U.S.C.
App. 2061 et seq.). However, unlike previous presidents, President Obama's
executive order broadens the definition of 'national defense.' This leaves
the door open for the president to give himself control over American
resources during both times of peace, and national crisis. In response to
the order, I have introduced a resolution to make it clear the president
cannot use this as an excuse to abuse his executive power."
Rep. Adams' bill never got a full vote -- because she needed a lot more
co-sponsors to get the bill to the floor. So this session, we're going to
need a much bigger push to get any anti-martial law bill passed.
If we can FLOOD the offices of all of these Congressmen, demanding that they
immediately pass bills against Obama's grabbing unconstitutional powers
through all of his new Presidential Executive Orders, we CAN put a stop to
Obama's attempt to circumvent the Constitution and lay the groundwork for
martial law. But we need YOUR help. Send your Blast Faxes to every single
U.S. Congressman and Senator NOW!

Thanks for helping to save my life
December 26, 2012
The first ones to thank would be the couple who called 911 or the Grass Valley Police.
The second one was the police officer who knocked on my car window after I had parked at the Kmart Shopping Center in front of Premier Bank. He informed me that I was spotted weaving on Dog Bar Road, which I admitted. He suggested that I should get a ride home. I knew I should not drive anymore.
After standing awhile next to my car, one of the young ladies from the bank came to help me into the bank to sit down. She offered me ice water and coffee, which was much appreciated. They also offered to drive me home. Instead, I ask if they would call my doctor for an immediate appointment, which was given.
My good friend came right over to take me to the doctor. After examining me I was admitted into Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital. There I was given blood transfusions since I had lost three-quarters of my blood through internal bleeding. Again, thank you to the wonderful people who helped me.

Former Opes Prime director
Mr Smith had faced two charges of using his position as a director dishonestly, but was cleared by a jury after a five-week trial in the Victorian Supreme Court.
Outside the court, Mr Smith said he was relieved and grateful to the jury. He declined to comment when asked what those who lost their money in the company's collapse would think of his acquittal. Asked what he would do next, he said: "Get my life back."
Had he been convicted, he would have faced up to five years' jail.
Fellow directors
The verdict on Friday is another notable loss for the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, which struggled to secure convictions out of the spate of corporate collapses during the global financial crisis.
ASIC has since changed its approach to litigation and has brought fewer cases.
In a statement, ASIC said it simply noted the verdict.
A spokesman then confirmed to the AFR Weekend that the corporate watchdog would not appeal against the decision.
Mr Smith's acquittal is the final piece of litigation stemming the margin lending firm's messy demise in the depths of last decade's credit crunch.
ASIC has facilitated $253 million in compensation for Opes Prime clients.

early 14c., "to be agreeable," from Old French plaisir "to please, give pleasure to, satisfy" (11c., Modern French plaire, the form of which is perhaps due to analogy of faire), from Latin placere "to be acceptable, be liked, be approved," related to placare "to soothe, quiet" (source of Spanish placer, Italian piacere), possibly from PIE *plak-e- "to be calm," via notion of still water, etc., from root *plak- (1) "to be flat" (see placenta).
Meaning "to delight" in English is from late 14c. Inverted use for "to be pleased" is from c.1500, first in Scottish, and paralleling the evolution of synonymous like (v.). Intransitive sense (e.g. do as you please) first recorded c.1500; imperative use (e.g. please do this), first recorded 1620s, was probably a shortening of if it please (you) (late 14c.). Related: Pleased; pleasing; pleasingly.
Verbs for "please" supply the stereotype polite word (e.g. "Please come in," short for may it please you to ...) in many languages (French, Italian), "But more widespread is the use of the first singular of a verb for 'ask, request' " [Buck, who cites German bitte, Polish proszę, etc.]. Spanish favor is short for hace el favor "do the favor." Danish has in this sense vær saa god, literally "be so good."

Slavery finally, formally abolished in Mississippi
JACKSON, Miss. — Slavery was abolished only a couple of weeks ago in Mississippi.
Because of a procedural glitch the last time around, Mississippi government formally ratified the 13th Amendment ending slavery.
The amendment was adopted by the United States in 1865. Several states opposed the measure at the time and delayed ratification. Mississippi did not vote to ratify the amendment until 1995.
But, as reported in The Clarion-Ledger, a key step was not taken and the ratification was not made official.
Dr. Ranjan Batra, an associate professor at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, looked into the issue after going to see Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln." He and a colleague discovered that the state did not officially notify the U.S. archivist in 1995 as required. Batra's colleague called the Mississippi secretary of state, who at last sent the needed paperwork to the National Archives.
The Federal Register wrote back on Feb. 7 to confirm that "with this action, the State of Mississippi has ratified the 13th Amendment to the Constitution."

Clan:Yuki clan
Makenshi is always seen with his white cloak, outlined in gray. Around his neck a small thin ribbon of grey is tied, and normally used to tie off small wounds, that poison have entered through in order to keep it from spreading. Peculiarly on his head, are five triangles of three different sizes. Two large ones on the outer edges, and two smaller ones on the inside. The final triangle, is in the middle of them all, and as such is smaller then the outer one, but larger than the inner ones. On his belt, he has many little containers filled with mist from when he was in kirigakure to remind him of home. On this belt, one can also find his ninja pouch which carries the regular assortment of tools a ninja would have. On his lower back rests his sword, seemingly detachable through a clip. Finally most strange of all he often wears a black mask, that filters gases out as he breathes, including poisons and harmful chemicals in the form of gas. This mask, can seemingly retract with nothing but a small movement in facial expression, and can also be put back on in the same manner.
Personality: Makenshi, a natural born strategist is always calm and collected. His mind continually races thinking of what to do next, often times being able to deduce counters in seconds. Makenshi, though calm, thrives in the heat of the battle, the adrenaline that pumps through him, he uses it to think more clearly, and react faster. Makenshi is highly intelligent, and always thinks of others before himself if they are in duress. Reliable, when the going gets tough, makes him a great partner to be with.

Makenshi, was born into the village of the bloody mist. Parents killed in the great war, he was left in the care of his older brother Madoushi. As Makenshi grew older, fascinated by the idea of being a ninja he joined the village academy, against his brothers wishes. When Makenshi graduated he felt it was time to leave the village behind, and he set out on a journey to begin his training. In doing so he finally met his first teacher...
Makenshi soon met his first teacher Gobi through months of hard work, and alot of sweat and frustration Makenshi progressed past the lectures of genjutsu and tests. Gobi finally began teaching him the techniques. At first Makenshi was dead set to be a genjutsu master; But as the training progressed makenshi found that he didn't enjoy it as much as he thought it might. Makenshi finished out his training in it, and moved on to find another teacher. After many thanks to Gobi for his devotion in training Makenshi. Makenshi wandered for a long time, before finally finding another teacher. His new teacher Anduril taught him earth. The reason being though he felt more akin to water, and wind felt he needed something people told him was the most flexible element to use. Makenshi flew through his training, at a rapid pace learning jutsu after jutsu. One day Anduril had to leave him, Makenshi bid him farewell, and thanked him for teaching him most of earth ninjutsu. Makenshi decided it was time to find someone to teach him wind, as in himself makenshi felt it akin to it. Makenshi eventually found xanthe in his new home of kumogakure. Makenshi decided to stay in this village, and stop wandering the world aimlessly. Makenshi became a master of wind in the blink of an eye, being one of his dominant elements. As he finished his wind training with xanthe the two remained friends, being in the same village and all. Makenshi then set out on another journey, seeking out someone to teach him lightning and water. Through this he found -Naruto- who was generous enough to teach him both. Unfortunately he had to leave him when it was nearly finished. Afterwards Makenshi's good friend ~korra~ finished the two elements for him. As he finished water Makenshi found he was of a special clan, and could combine wind and water to create ice.
Present Day:
Makenshi once again met up with his old master gobi to finish his earth ninjutsu training. Through this he came to amegakure where he found he had the aptitude to learn rain ninjutsu. Nowadays, one can find Makenshi lounging about Kumogakure, in a tourney, or training with his master and and friend akihiko in basic ninjutsu teachniques or with master Dante... learning taijutsu. Makenshi enjoys his life in kumogakure with his many friends like xanthe, better, igneel, icemyster, dm(numbers ) and many other friends.

|SSHS subvarsity teams now combined 13-1 this season
|Bobby "Butch" Burney | News-Telegram Sports Editor
Oct. 27, 2006 - The Sulphur Springs subvarsity teams won three out of four games Thursday against Paris and now have a combined 13-1 district record.
The SSHS JV beat Paris 40-14 in a game shortened by lightning, setting up the Wildcats for a showdown with unbeaten Texas High next Thursday at Gerald Prim Stadium.
In the ninth-grade "A" game, Sulphur Springs dominated Paris, 24-6, while the eighth-graders split their games. Sulphur Springs won the middle school "B" match-up, 14-6, while the Wildcat "A" team suffered a 32-12 loss to an undefeated Paris team. There was no freshmen "B" game.
The Sulphur Springs subvarsities are now 25-9-3 overall, and the five teams have lost just one 11-4A game.
SSHS JV 40, Paris 14
The game was cut short by lightning, but the outcome was already decided.
Sulphur Springs scored on all four of its first-half possessions, then recovered an onside kick and scored another TD before the game was delayed, then ended due to the electrical storm with 9:16 to play in the third quarter.
Quarterback Johnny McSheffery threw five touchdowns to three different receivers and scored on a long run himself. He ended the game with 72 yards rushing on six carries and threw for 275 yards.
Jace Jackson caught six passes for 57 yards, including TD receptions of 1 and 12 yards, and Ben Barrows had three grabs for 101 yards and caught a two-point conversion. Jay Hall had two TD catches of 13 and 40 yards, and Josh Ross caught a slant and took it 60 yards to the end zone as well.
Defensively, Jake Russell had a sack and a half, John Latham recorded a sack, and Carlton Gordon and Ryan Miller each had a big hit. Savion Thomas and Dillon Verner also had tackles for losses.
The Wildcats are now 7-1 overall, 3-0 in District 11-4A.
SSHS Freshmen 24, Paris 6
The Sulphur Springs offense put up enough points to give the Wildcats the lead, then the defense delivered some big hits.
Quarterback Colby Suggs ran for one touchdown and threw two TD passes to Day Day Jackson to give the Wildcats all the scoring they would need. Running backs Shane McQueen and Jimmy Villa both had big games rushing.
Defensively, linebackers Villa and Tyler Higginbotham were the top tacklers, while cornerback Triston Crook delivered several big hits.
The Wildcats improved to 6-2 overall, 3-0 in district.
Paris Eighth "A" 32, SSMS 12
Joe Scott scored a pair of touchdowns for Sulphur Springs, but Paris returned two interceptions and a fumble for TDs to put the game away.
The game was called with about six minutes to go in the game due to lightning.
Kaylon Alexander and Alvin Frazier also had success running for the ball for the Wildcats (3-3-1 overall, 2-1 in district).
Defensively, Jarod Riley had a fumble recovery, and leading tacklers were Eduardo Osorio and Luke Masters.
SSMS "B" 14, Paris 6
Curtis Bluford scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 20-yard run late in the fourth quarter to break a 6-6 tie and improve the Wildcats' record to 4-2-1, 3-0.
Bluford, who had about 100 yards rushing on 15 carries, broke four tackles on the game-winning play which was set up by a 60-yard run by quarterback Josh Fountain. Fountain ran in the conversion to set the final score.
Fountain also scored the first TD on a 1-yard run.
Defensively, the Wildcats were led by outside linebacker twins David Mobley and John Mobley, cornerback Lane Anderson and safeties Tylan Harris and Preston Thompson.

The 802.11b may never become a household name, but it's not just for the enterprise anymore, either.
As costs come down and ease of use improves, small businesses are discovering they can bypass wired Ethernet LANs, as well as extend network connectivity to the home, client sites and public spaces such as airports and hotels. And vendors are responding. Having gained a strong foothold in the enterprise -- with a 20% penetration today -- 802.11b vendors are now turning their attention to the small office market.
It's understandable that vendors such as 3Com, Cisco and Agere Systems (formerly Lucent Microelectronics Group) didn't see the small office as easy pickings right away. Wireless connotes mobility. Why would 10 people who spend all day in a single office need mobility? But in the small office, it's not the individual workers who are mobile, but the office itself.
"Small offices tend to be dynamic as far as size and location," says Ron Seide, product line manager for Cisco's Wireless Networking business unit. "They're small but growing and tend to move around a lot. With a wireless LAN infrastructure, when the office moves, the infrastructure can be loaded up, taken to the next location, then rapidly redeployed, maintaining connectivity and the customer's investment."
While Gartner predicts 802.11b penetration in the corporate LAN will reach 50% by the end of next year, Gartner analyst Mostafa Maarouf sees 802.11b technology heading into the smaller markets quickly. Today, Maarouf says, 20% of notebook PCs are sold into small offices of up to 19 people. "That's low, but not insignificant," he adds. What's more, by 2005, Gartner predicts that 95% of notebook PCs will be 802.11b-enabled.
"Compared to wired Ethernet, which is expensive when you include the wiring, 802.11b is a pretty compelling alternative for eight or 10 people," Maarouf says.
In shopping for 802.11b hardware, ease of use and price are most important for the small office. You'll also want to consider security and management features, and performance. While you won't get the throughput speeds of wired Ethernet, 802.11b's 11M bit/sec rated speed (about 6M bit/sec in actuality) is plenty of pipe for a 10-person office connected via DSL or analog modem.
Do you want a broadband gateway, an access point or a base station? A broadband gateway typically is a router with multiple Ethernet ports that connects to your DSL modem or may have the modem integrated within. It will include IP management, VPN pass-through, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server and other network features. In contrast, an access point connects to the DSL modem or hub via Ethernet wiring (Category 5 cable) and allows for roaming, which is typically overkill for the small office. More appropriate is a base station or residential (or broadband) gateway. A base station typically supports a 10-person office, but doesn't support roaming. It's substantially less expensive than an access point, as it doesn't require the additional processing power roaming requires.
Access points and base stations include at least one Ethernet port for connecting a DSL or cable modem. You can add an Ethernet hub and connect via wiring a printer, scanner or file server, or use 3Com's Ethernet Client Bridge to bring peripherals onto the network. The 802.11b adapters -- PC Cards, ISA and PCI cards, and Universal Serial Bus devices -- range in price, but because they're interoperable, you can mix brands.
Other questions to ask: What are the vendor's plans for migration to higher speed LANs? Does the product support power over Ethernet, which means you don't have to run power to the access point?
When it comes to configuration software and firmware, all the vendors vying for small office customers tout ease of setup and use. But vendor philosophies vary. For instance, 3Com has stripped many of the enterprise network management capabilities out of its small office product, including SNMP. In contrast, Cisco left the high-end management features in, assuming the company might use a value-added reseller for support. However, those features are layered behind a Web-based interface that was built for nontechnical users.
"Two years ago, we were targeting the CTO or IT professional within the enterprise," says Agere's Alan Scott. "Today we assume it'll be the end user installing the system. So we geared our call center to that type of customer, added lots of documentation and improved the install wizards."
John Hyland, CEO of Morristown Financial Group,located in New Jersey, set up his company's wireless LAN in 1996 using Lucent WaveLAN equipment. A pending move put the company in a bind. "We couldn't live without a network but didn't want to dump the money into wiring when we knew we were moving to a new office in six months," Hyland says.
So when Hyland relocated the group, he simply unplugged the equipment, then plugged it back in at the new building. Today, using a mix of WaveLAN and Orinoco equipment, the company has an access point connected to a hub to share a 1.5M bit/sec DSL connection and two laser printers among 16 employees using a mix of desktops and notebooks.
"It's been more than adequate," Hyland says. "We don't know what we don't know. We're just comparing it to nothing."
This story, "Small businesses warming to wireless LANs" was originally published by Network World.

'Love Monkey'? No thanks, we'd rather not
There's a world of difference between casting against type and simply miscasting. In the past week, we've seen examples of both and we suffer through it again tonight on "Love Monkey" (9 p.m., CBS), starring Tom Cavanaugh.
Asking Jean Smart to play the president's tortured, paranoid, overmedicated wife on "24" is brilliant. Expecting that audiences will buy Heather Graham as a sympathetic and funny single woman is what makes "Emily's Reasons Why Not" unwatchable.
Unfortunately, Cavanaugh's turn as an "edgy" rock-and-roll talent scout is almost painfully preposterous. Don't get me wrong: Cavanaugh and his character, Tom Farrell, seem like really nice guys. Not only is Farrell a nice guy, but he seems to work hard all of the time trying to remind us of what a nice, sweet, quirky, sensitive and silly guy he can be. It's as if "Ed" were on his way to an audition for a Dockers commercial but found himself marooned in the East Village and asked to give a lecture on the history of punk rock.
And "Love Monkey" is an ensemble comedy. In fact, it's pathologically ensemble-rific. Tom can't go anywhere without a posse of pals, relatives and in-laws. His guy friends include an ex-jock, a businessman and his brother in-law. He has a close female confidant and a very pregnant sister who are both blond and hard to tell apart. Everybody in this show seems to finish each other's sentences, correct one another's grammar and know each other's secrets. It's a claustrophobic world where "I'll Be There For You" and "Everybody Knows Your Name" all of the time.
The show's music-industry setting also means we have lots of emotionally laden songs inflicted on us at random moments when the narrative sags. "Love Monkey" mixes classic-rock riffs with tunes by Tom's newly discovered talent, a photogenic young hipster given to singing about his feelings.
"Love Monkey" is not without some redeeming aspects. Erik Bogosian plays Tom's boss, who manages to embody everything sleazy, corrupt and compromised about the music industry. It's too bad he fires Tom early in the pilot. I suspect the show's tenure will be equally short-lived.
Again, I have nothing against Cavanaugh. But it's high time he takes on the roles that suit him. He's a dad, not a dude. Jimmy Stewart had a nice long run embracing his inner cardigan. Cavanaugh should do the same. Who wants to watch a punk rock Peter Pan?
l "Nova" (7 p.m., PBS) looks at the perils of mountain climbing. Every year more than 1,000 intrepid souls attempt to scale Alaska's Denali (the peak formerly known as Mt. McKinley). Many fail, and some of them die. While most of these fatalities are from accidents, others succumb to mystery ailments common only at extremely high altitudes that scientists are only now beginning to understand.
¢ Auditions, with an accent on musical atrocities, on the fifth-season premiere of "American Idol" (7 p.m., Fox).
¢ Luke has some explaining to do on "Gilmore Girls" (7 p.m., WB).
¢ On the brink with North Korea on "Commander in Chief" (8 p.m., ABC).
¢ An abandoned infant on "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" (9 p.m., NBC).
¢ Second chairs and second guessers on "Boston Legal" (9 p.m., ABC).
¢ Scheduled on "REAL Sports with Bryant Gumbel" (9 p.m., HBO): sports memorabilia fraud; locker room infections; the licensing phenomenon of tennis star Maria Sharpova.
¢ The noose tightens on Vic on "The Shield" (9 p.m., FX).
