Flames Tie No. 11 Cavaliers, 1-1
Liberty moves to 5-2-3 on the season. Virginia goes to 7-3-1 on the year. It is the first time in the 18 meetings between the two teams that a contest has ended in a tie.
The contest opened with the host Cavaliers using a corner kick to get the first shot attempt of the game. Off the kick from the left side of the field by midfielder Neal Barlow, midfielder Will Bates headed a shot over the crossbar from the near post and out of play in the fourth minute.
After the corner kick, play between the two teams settled into the midfield area with neither team being able to muster any offense until the 20th minute, when Liberty attempted its first shot of the match. Midfielder Uriah Bentick (Fr., Port of Spain, Trinidad) ran down a loose ball and fired a shot toward the right post from the top of the 18-yard box, which Cavalier goalkeeper Deigo Restrepo grabbed out of the air for a save.
In the 21st minute, Virgina's Brian Ownby put a shot on net off a corner kick, which Liberty goalkeeper Andrew Madero (Jr., Tampa, Fla.) corralled for a save.
The Cavaliers used sharp passing to work an open shot in the 30th minute. Ownby sent a pass to midfielder Will Bates, who made a touch pass around a Liberty defender for the forward. Ownby handled the ball in stride, but pushed it wide of the near post to keep the contest scoreless.
Madero made back-to-back stops of Ownby shots in the 33rd and 34th minute, as the Flames' netminder continued to keep Virginia off the scoreboard.
In the 44th minute, a shot off a corner kick by Liberty's Chris Mandell (Sr., D, Bowling Green, Va.) went wide off a Cavalier defender. The ensuing Flames corner kick sailed over several players in the penalty area and was cleared by Virginia.
The second half began with each team attacking each team's 18-yard box. However, neither team was able to spring anyone free for a shot.
Virginia got the first chance of the second half. In the 52nd minute, midfielder Jonathan Villaneuva's shot was blocked by a Liberty defender just outside the penalty area. Bates then headed the ball towards the far post, which was turned away by Madero.
In the 67th minute, Liberty was able to drop a pass into open space on the right side of the 18-yard box, but forward Amoo (R-So., F, Accra, Ghana) was beat to ball by Cavalier keeper Restrepo, who kicked it out bounds to prevent a shot.
Virginia netted the game's first goal in the 77th minute. Ownby fired a shot which hit the far left post and bounded out to Bates, who found the bottom left corner of the net for his second goal of the season and a 1-0 Cavalier lead.
But, the host's advantage was short-lived. In the 79th minute, Liberty scored the equalizer on a corner kick. The kick by midfielder Juan Guzman (Sr., Charlotte, N.C.) was volleyed past Restrepo by Amoo, tying the contest at 1-1. The marker was the Flame forward's team-leading eighth goal of the year.
In the 88th minute, Madero turned away an Ownby shot once again, sending the contest to overtime.
Liberty pressed the Virginia to open the first extra period. Two minutes into the first 10 minutes of overtime, the Flames' pressure resulted in a corner kick, which Liberty was unable to convert.
The Cavaliers countered in the fifth minute of overtime with two shots. The first by T.J. Cyrus was blocked by a Liberty defender, while the second, a header off a corner kick by Tony Tschani, was easily cradled by Madero.
Virginia opened the second overtime period with a free kick from 20 yards out less than a minute into the last 10 minutes. Tchani lofted the kick over a wall of Liberty defenders, but Madero went to his knees to record the save and prevent a game-winning goal.
In the 104th minute, Amoo worked free on the left side of the field and ripped a shot wide from 25 yards out.
Virginia had one last chance with 25 seconds left with a corner kick. However, the Flames blocked down the kick and cleared it, as the match ended in a 1-1 tie.
The Cavaliers outshot the Flames, 29-6, in the contest. Virginia also held a 13-6 advantage in corner kicks.
Madero had a career-high eight saves on the night for the Flames. Restrepo recorded two for the Cavaliers.
Liberty returns home, Friday, for a Big South Conference contest against Presbyterian. Osborne Stadium will be dedicated at halftime of the contest. Game time is scheduled for 6 p.m.

Today, a man came up to me at the bus stop. He went into this long story about how his girlfriend is pregnant and they both haven't eaten in days. Trying to be tough and funny I said back, "sounds like you should invest in condoms instead of food." He responded by beating and robbing me. FML

Climate Change 101: Science and Impacts
The scientific evidence is unequivocal. Natural climate variability alone cannot explain this trend. Human activities, especially the burning of coal and oil, have warmed the earth by dramatically increasing the concentrations of heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere. The more of these gases humans put into the atmosphere, the more the earth will warm in the decades and centuries ahead. The impacts of warming can already be observed throughout the United States, from rising sea levels to melting snow and ice to more drought and extreme rainfall. Climate change is already affecting ecosystems, freshwater supplies, and human health around the world. Although some amount of climate change is now unavoidable, much worse impacts can be avoided by substantially reducing the amount of heat-trapping gases released into the atmosphere.
For more information on the science and impacts of climate change, be sure to listen to our Climate Change 101 podcast series

Courts to hear challenges to Obama appointments
WASHINGTON — In a major test of presidential power, federal appeals courts are starting to hear legal challenges to President Barack Obama's decision to bypass the Senate in appointing three members to the National Labor Relations Board.
The challenges in more than two dozen labor cases around the country have been winding their way through the legal system since Jan. 4, when Obama moved to fill vacancies on the board under the constitutional provision for filling an office when Congress is in recess.

Easing of Sunday Sales Restrictions to Help Storm Recovery Process, Allow Access to Essentials for Impacted Residents
Trenton, NJ – Governor Chris Christie today signed an Executive Order suspending Sunday sales restrictions in Bergen County due to the State of Emergency caused by Hurricane Sandy.
"During this time of recovery and rebuilding, our citizens must have adequate access to the supplies they need to help return their lives to normal – particularly those residents who are still without power," said Governor Christie. "To accomplish this, we are temporarily suspending Blue Laws in Bergen County so that local residents can purchase the essential goods and services they need to continue through recovery period and begin the rebuilding process."
Bergen County Executive Kathleen Donovan petitioned that the restrictions be lifted temporarily in the county to accommodate the extraordinary needs caused by Hurricane Sandy.

Rider 1, NJIT 0 (2 o.t.)
Women's College Soccer
Rider University 1, New Jersey Institute of Technology 0 (2 o.t.)
LAWRENCEVILLE--Freshman Tara Ballay (Delran, NJ/Delran) scored in the 108th minute of play to give Rider a victory over NJIT in the Broncs' 2012 season opener. "A great start for her and for us," said Rider head coach Drayson Hounsome.
The victory was the first for Rider in a season opener since August 31, 2007. "The last two years we've gone overtime in the first game but we lost 1-0," Hounsome said. "With this veteran group it is nice to see the seniority in the team finally find a way to win."
Ballay took a crossing pass from senior Angela Monaco (Holtsville, N.Y./Sachem) and scored on a header right at the goal mouth for her first collegiate goal and game-winner. At least it was recorded as a header. It was more of a facial.
"Mo (Monaco) played a perfect ball in and I think we had about five players crashing," Ballay said. "I just happen to be on the end of that pass."
"Tara was the one recruit we wanted in a small recruiting class," Hounsome said. "We were fortunate to get her and it showed today how versatile she is. She can play in the back, play in the midfield and today she showed she can score a goal."
"The pace is a lot faster in college," said Ballay, a midfielder who also plays back, "and a lot more physical. My new teammates have been a great help for me getting adjusted."
Rider (1-0) out-shot NJIT (1-1) 22-10, including 10-2 in the first half. "In the first 30 minutes I don't think they crossed the halfway line," Hounsome said. "We got loads of shots but didn't convert them."
Junior Jennifer Meier (Sayville, NY/St. Anthony's) had six of those 22 shots, including two on goal, one that hit the crossbar with 15 minutes remaining in regulation.
Rider senior goalkeeper Jenn Nichols (Stratham, N.H./Exeter) made three saves for the shutout, her first. "Jenn didn't have too much to do but anytime you get a shutout in Division I it is a great effort," Hounsome said.
Samantha Bersett made eight saves for the Highlanders.
Rider defeated NJIT 2-0 last year in Newark. Rider and NJIT split their first two meetings, with the Highlanders winning 2-0 in Newark in 2009 and the Broncs winning 5-2 at Rider in 2010.
The last time Rider was 1-0 was when the Broncs defeated George Mason 2-0 in the first round of the Hartford Fall Classic to begin the 2007 season. Rider was 0-3-1 in season openers over the last four years.
The Broncs continued their dominance on Rider's Ben Cohen Field. Rider is now 17-5-3 in its last 25 home games. "There was a lot of good energy and good effort," Hounsome said. "We haven't even been practicing two weeks yet, so we're nowhere near where we need to be but for the first game it was good."
The Broncs also saw the return of several athletes who suffered injuries last year, including sophomore Becca Kape (Westfield, NJ/Westfield), a MAAC All-Rookie team selection in 2010 who missed all of last season with a foot injury. "It was good to have Becca back out there," Hounsome said. "We got over 19 minutes from her today."
Rider is home again Friday to host Howard University at 5pm. "It was a tough game last year (3-2 overtime Rider win) when we played them," Hounsome said. "I'm expecting another tight, close game."

From the remoteness of mind,
There comes bit of a thought.
Intellect analyzes it thoroughly.
Gives the verdict in camera to go ahead,
I move all around restlessly.
Aimlessly I roam in search of ideas.
I travel and observe people .
My feet trek deserts and mountains.
I see human cruelty, wars and vandalism.
Clans of terror, insane fanatics,
Many faces flicker in my retina.
Rich and poor peasants and workers,
Helpless women and children,
Pain and hunger, war and peace,
Sufferings of shattered lives,
Fear psychosis, diseases, epidemics.
Human bodies gets disfigured
Ebola, Aids all great killers!
What is safe in this world?
Nothing but the thoughts you give.
I remember all those great writers.
I dedicate my words to them.
With the pen in my hand I pray
Oh lord give me a fine thought for the day.
If I could give a slogan for unification
It will be" Let us unite as one world one nation.
The United nations!

From the other shore of separation,
You were staring into darkness.
Helplessness hangs a thick curtain,
Obstructing our passionate vision.
I can see your wide eyes staring.
Your thoughts flow across the river.
Your monologue captures my mind.
As silvery fishes splash up incessantly.
Holding a hook and line I wait on the banks,
To capture your subtle thoughts one by one.
Then we have a dialogue to exchange.
Your love filled murmur hugged me tight.
I held you to closest of my memories.
Visualizing a star shining on your cheeks,
I stole it sneaking secretly from your dimple.
Keeping it in my heart I burned it into a fire.
We shared the warmth near the bonfire,
Feeling your soft breath fall on my body.
your roseate lips talked to me expressively.
We found ourselves entangled with a silky sensual love.
Unable to move from our disposition,
We merged into our souls silently.
One day we found ourselves floating i
In the horizon of our mind searching each other.

The Spatial Divide of Income Levels
Two suggested implications: the poor have moved out to the suburbs, and central cities are undergoing a revitalization trend.
"Whereas inhabitants of Suffolk County, Massachusetts (which includes Boston) saw their median household incomes grow by 2% since 2000, people living in all three surrounding counties saw their median incomes decline. In New York, Manhattan saw local median incomes increase by 10% but suburbs counties Westchester, Bergen, Middlesex, and Union Counties all saw declines.
The City of Baltimore, Maryland kept household income relatively steady even as Baltimore County, which surrounds it, lost ground. Same story in the Washington, D.C. region, where the three center cities-Washington, Arlington, and Alexandria-each saw median incomes increase by about 10% even as near-in suburbs of Fairfax and Prince George's Counties, once known as two of the nation's most successful suburbs, saw a slight decrease.
Of course, these trends are not universal."

A Home for the Holidays
Who doesn't love a fuzzy ball of kitten energy? No one, that's who! Which is why adult cats are often overlooked when people are looking to expand their furry family. Sure, babies are irresistible, but can be exhausting and mischievous. Adult cats offer the same sort of companionship the little ones do, but are usually over their hooligan phase and can provide you with that calm, purry, cuddle bug you're ultimately looking for.
From Friday, November 15 – Tuesday, December 31st, Hopalong Animal Rescue will be adopting out the adult cats shown below for $10 to qualified homes.
ROCKY was weak, sickly, and not expected to live. But he's a fighter, and fought to survive, then thrived! That's how he got his name. He's a good looking kittie, with a sweet personality. Rocky is not at all shy and happily interacts with anyone that comes along. Don't let his serious expression and tough name fool you. Rocky's a lover. Limited exposure to both dogs and children saw no hissing, growling, or adverse effects. ADOPTED
POLLY is a beautiful dilute Torti with impeccable manners. She has an enlarged dewclaw on her front left paw, which looks 'polydactyl'. Her eyes are golden. Polly is a reserved, well behaved, quiet little girl. She likes to play interactively, but takes her time warming up to people. But her charming personality is worth the wait. No negative reaction during limited exposure to chldren or dogs.
BOOTSY absolutely loves people and instantly starts rubbing on his cat tree when you enter the room. He adores head, ear and chin scratches and can't get enough lounge-time with his person. Bootsy would love to find a low-key home. He would prefer a house with older kids who can let him enjoy a mellow atmosphere. He is fine with other cats, but would be just as happy to be an only child. Bootsy would like to find a dog-free home.
FLOWER is an all-around wonderful cat. She's affectionate, easy-going , playful and tolerant. She would love to find a home where she'll be spoiled and doted on. She would like to find a home with feline friends she can pal around with and would probably be fine with cat savvy dogs and gentle kids. Flower would love to find a family that will keep her mainly indoors. She would probably appreciate supervised outdoor time with her people too! ADOPTED
SCOOTER is looking for his forever family, who will accept him with open arms, no matter how long it takes for him to get used to his surroundings. Once Scooter gets comfortable, he'll become your sidekick. He's sweet, very affectionate and even enjoys lap time, but is very shy in the beginning and will hide until he's ready to join in on the fun. Scooter must go to a home with other cats, as they really help boost his confidence. Scooter is looking for an adult-only, dog-free home that will show him how truly lovely life can be.
RASPUTIN is a very affectionate, sweet boy who loves lounging in the sun and giving his people tons of head butts. He's ok with other cats, but prefers to be the star of the show. This handsome boy will be your favorite cuddle partner! Rasputin must be adopted to a dog-free home. He is ok with kids over 10 years old.ADOPTED
POPPY is a sweet girl who enjoys head rubs and spending time with her people. She's a typical tortie and likes everything on her terms. She's ok with mellow cats that give her space, but would prefer to be the star. She would prefer a dog-free home with kids 6+.ADOPTED
ZACK is a complete cuddle bug once he warms up to you. He's pretty shy in the beginning, but once he gets used to his environment, he'll come out for pets and head rubs. Zack gets along really well with other cats and would probably benefit from a friend that can show him the ropes. He would prefer a dog free home with cat savvy kids over 10 years old.ADOPTED
COCO is very shy until she feels secure with her surroundings. She loves being an indoor cat but also has a highly inquisitive side so she loves to see what's happening outside from the front porch. She loves warm places, like the top of the TV receiver behind the flat panel and will sit there for hours. She also loves to be under the bed covers and when she gets to know her new family will love to sit next to people she's close to. She loves and always responds to the "shakin'" sound of the crunch treat bag. She started out on dry food but when her step-sibling brother cat had to go on a wet food diet she adapted easily to wet food and loves the chicken and fish based products. She gets bored with most toys but loves the "cat dancer" and anything she can swat.
OOLA is the more outgoing of the two sisters. She's a bit braver and more people friendly. She is a true watch kitty! She enjoys sleeping on a bed during the day but keeps guard duty at night.She gets along well with her sister Zoli, but is a little hesitant around new kitties. Although she would like to find a home with Zoli, the girls aren't that bonded and can be adopted separately to the purr-fect families. (If the two sisters are adopted together, the adoption fee is $10 for both of them.) Neither cat likes to be picked up but instead comes to you for attention quite often, especially in the evenings for lap time. They would prefer a quiet home where they can be the only pets.
ZOLI likes to cuddle and will often softly "talk" to you if spoken to. Zoli loves her toys. She will pull them out of a toy box but hasn't learned to put them away yet. She loves to give headbutts and receive tons of pets.She gets along well with her sister Oola, but is a little feisty when meeting new cats. Although she would like to find a home with Oola, the girls aren't that bonded and can be adopted separately to the purr-fect families. (If the two sisters are adopted together, the adoption fee is $10 for both of them.) Neither cat likes to be picked up but instead comes to you for attention quite often, especially in the evenings for lap time. They would prefer a quiet home where they can be the only pets.
JASMINE is a sleek beauty. After settling into a new environment she bonds with her people and seeks lots of attention. She greets you at the door and stays underfoot until she gets the love she knows she deserves. She rolls on her back to get tummy rubs but watch out – when you withdraw your hand she will gently but firmly reach out and grab it to let you know you're not finished yet.
MAU With her silver spots and green eyes this regal beauty resembles the Egyptian Mau breed thought to be cat ancestors. She is initially shy in new environments and may pick one person to bond with. After adjusting she is attentive and talkative and will tell you about her wishes for attention with a series of chirps and tiny mews. She follows her people and sits next to them for affection. Mau is also a hunter stalking toy mice and chasing moving string-on-a-stick type toys.
DOTTIE is a beautiful, sweet and outgoing lady who would prefer to have her people all to herself. Although she does tolerate other cats, she likes being the queen of the castle! Because Dottie does overstimulate a bit, she should go to a home with children over 16 years old. She would prefer to be an indoor/outdoor cat.
RAVEN is a friendly, compassionate young cat who raised 5 kittens of her own and then took on 6 other motherless kittens. Now she is ready to begin the next chapter of her life as a playful kitten-like sweetheart. As an uber-mommy she was very protective of her kittens but will adjust to other cats, with time.
CREAMSICLE is an extroverted snuggly chatty cat. She loves attention and likes to play with toys, especially anything that humans wave around for her to chase. Creamsicle gets along with calm dogs.
ALICE is a beautiful Long hair girl with quite a story to tell. She came to us, along with her sister Tina, after having been attacked by a dog. Alice suffered some puncture wounds, but has since healed up well. Because of her experience, Alice is wary of strangers and dogs. She will need a quiet, adult only home who understands her sensitive nature, and who will give her time to adjust.

Why Walk Baby? Ride at 50MPH in World's Fastest Stroller! [VIDEO]
Why should taking baby for a stroll be a slow and unmemorable experience? A lazy dad in England has built the world's fastest motorized stroller or pram, as they call them in the U.K..
The 33-year-old added a powerful engine… to the stroller so that it could now reach a blow-your-hair-back top speed of 50 miles per hour! Now this is a stroller ride baby won't soon forget!
The dad spent four weeks making the stroller, and says that it has an accelerator and brake levers to control the speed and there's also a drink holder and room for shopping bags.
Watch the video and let me know if you would ever consider taking your baby for a ride in this stroller.

Match Day 7 roundup
Puebla 2, Morelia 1
Puebla (3-2-2, 11 pts) rallied for a 2-1 win over Morelia Friday at Estadio Morelos.
Christian Valdez gave Monarcas (0-3-4, 3) a 1-0 lead in the 11th minute. Defender Facundo Erpen equalized for La Franja by rolling a shot inside the post in the 37th, and Matias Alustiza netted the game-winner from just outside the penalty area in the 51st.
Veracruz 3, Toluca 0
Veracruz roared past Toluca 3-0 Friday at Estadio Luis Pirata Fuentes.
After a scoreless first half, Leiton Jimenez broke the ice for the fourth-place Tiburones (3-4-0, 13 pts) with a flashy scissor-kick goal in the 51st minute. Julian Furch, whose throw-in set the table for Jimenez, made the score 2-0 in the 68th off the rebound when netminder Alfredo Talavera blocked a shot by Edgar Andrade. Fernando Meneses capped the win from the penalty spot with ten minutes left on the clock.
The loss leaves Toluca in 11th place at 2-3-2 and nine points.
Atlas 1, Santos Laguna 0

Marco Fabian delivered the win three minutes later, with a free kick from just outside the penalty area.
The Herd close out the week in sixth place at 3-2-2 and 11 points. Cruz Azul are third on the table at 4-2-1 (14).
Monterrey 2, Queretaro 1
Edwin Cardona scored in the 89th minute to lift Monterrey (2-1-4, 7 pts) over Queretaro 2-1 Saturday at Estadio Tecnologico.
The match was scoreless until the 63rd minute, when Pablo Barrera put the Gallos Blancos (1-2-4, 5) on the board. Orbelin Pineda beat netminder Jonathan Orozco to the left side to level the score two minutes later, and Cardona slammed home the winner from outside the arc.
Pachuca 2, Leon 1
An own goal by Leon defender Nacho Gonzalez helped Pachuca to a 2-1 win Saturday at Estadio Hidalgo.
The Tuzos (3-1-3, 10 pts) led 1-0 on a 53rd-minute top of the box shot by Erick Gutierrez. Gonzalez's misplay doubled Pachuca's lead, providing enough of a margin to preserve the win despite a 65th-minute penalty kick, awarded for a handball by Miguel Herrera and converted by Martin Bravo.
The Esmeraldas fall to 2-2-3 and eight points.
Chiapas 1, Tigres 0
Matias Vuoso scored in the 24th minute, and Chiapas held on for a 1-0 win over Tigres Saturday at Estadio Victor Manuel Reyna.
Vuoso scored off his own rebound, after the initial shot caromed back off the left post. Rafael Sobis had two solid chances to level the score, but missed high on his first attempt and wide right on the second.
Chiapas move into eighth place at 3-2-2 (11 pts). Tigres fall to 3-0-4 and nine points, and are 12th on the table.
America 1, Pumas 0
Second-place Club America (4-2-1, 14 pts) edged Pumas 1-0 Sunday at Estadio Olimpico Universitario.
Dario Benedetto turned a loose ball into the game's only goal in the 52nd minute. Pumas' best chance came before the intermission, when netminder Moises Munoz turned away a dangerous shot by UNAM's Eduardo Herrera.
UNAM is in 16th place at 1-2-4 (5).
Tijuana 1, Leones Negros 0
Gabriel Hauche's 11th-minute goal was all table-topping Tijuana (5-1-1, 16 pts) needed to defeat Leones Negros 1-0 Sunday at Estadio Jalisco.
Hauche scored off a rebound, and Xolos goalkeeper Cirilo Saucedo made eight saves to preserve the win.
The loss leaves U de G at 1-1-5 and four points.
Hauche sealed the win with a 19-yard blast.

The making of words from sounds; as, to hiss, a peewit or cuckoo from the sound it makes.
He could imagine it uttering the vibrant, plaintive cry of a peewit.
The "close order" flight of the peewit is well known; that of the starling is, if possible, even more wonderful.
Then he realised it was the grass, and the peewit was calling.
"That's a private trough," exclaimed a thin voice, high like a peewit's cry.
They cry pe-e-e-e-wi, pe-e-e-e-e-wi, and the Imp cries "peewit" back to them.
A peewit called by the water's edge, a cock crew from the farm-yard, and a dog barked lustily.
Then he realized it was the grass, and the peewit was calling.
Professor Ansted includes the peewit in his list, but only marks it as occurring in Guernsey.
They had met, and included in their meeting the thrust of the manifold grass stems, the cry of the peewit, the wheel of the stars.
"lapwing" (still the usual name for it in Scotland), 1520s, imitative of its cry (cf. Flemish piewit-voghel, Middle Low German kivit, German kiwitz; also see kibitz).

We're coming close to national election time, and voters should consider the following platform plank of the opposition party, promoting a different approach to US foreign policy:
"The Administration's Iraq policy has failed — militarily, politically, diplomatically, and with relation to our own people.
"We condemn the Administration's breach of faith with the American people respecting our heavy involvement in Iraq…. The Administration's failure to honor its own words has led millions of Americans to question its credibility….
"We pledge to adopt a strategy relevant to the real problems of the war, concentrating on the security of the population, on developing a greater sense of nationhood, and on strengthening the local forces….
"We pledge a program for peace in Iraq — neither peace at any price nor a camouflaged surrender of legitimate United States or allied interests — but a positive program that will offer a fair and equitable settlement to all, based on a principle of self-determination, our national interests and the cause of long-range world peace."
Vague, isn't it? Does the statement advocate a withdrawal of US forces, or simply describe a shell game akin to the new "sovereignty" in Iraq, whereby the US government still maintains a heavy presence and fighting between US troops and insurgents will continue or even escalate?
This platform plank sounds a lot like the vague, non-committal positions of John Kerry and the Democrats, but actually it's an excerpt from the 1968 Republican Party platform, with the word "Vietnam" replaced by the word "Iraq" in every instance.
In 1968, many Americans, fed up with Lyndon Johnson's murderous Vietnam War and his lavishly irresponsible fiscal policies, voted for Richard Nixon, and against Democrat Hubert Humphrey. Nixon won, and the war and lunatic spending continued unabated.
On a certain level, most Americans realize that John Kerry will likely send more troops to Iraq and drag America further down the bloody road of empire. Yet many "antiwar" leftists, as Justin Raimondo points out, will shirk their most admirable principles and eagerly vote for Kerry. Even the Green Party Vice Presidential candidate said she might vote for him.
Kerry would probably have to call for the nuking of Iran to lose a lot of his supporters, many of whom deplore the war, recognize he won't stop it, but are so fed up with Bush that they'd do anything to help unseat the current president.
On the other hand, there are many libertarians, conservatives, moderates, and others who correctly fail to see a dime's worth of difference between Bush and Kerry, and yet who agree with much of Kerry's constituency about the disastrous Iraq war. Walter Block typifies such a frustrated American non-Leftist, and even says that he would happily tolerate Kerry's most horrid socialist domestic policies, and even root for the Democrats in November, if only Kerry would promise to "stop this mass murder of innocents in the Middle East."
The last poll I've seen shows Kerry and Bush neck and neck, each with 45% of the electorate behind him. On the war itself, a majority of Americans finally have come around to opposing the madness. If Kerry came out strongly in favor of peace, all his remaining agenda aside, he would probably win more additional votes than he would lose. Few of his current supporters would refuse to vote for him if he embraced a more restrained foreign policy, and yet such a shift would likely win accolades and votes from fed-up Republicans and moderates who want to see the war end.
Imagine if, instead of mimicking Nixon from 1968, Kerry dusted off the 1972 Democratic Party Platform, and substituted a couple words to bring it up to date:
"We believe that the war is a waste of human life… that has divided us from each other, drained our national will and inflicted incalculable damage to countless people. We will end that war by a simple plan that need not be kept secret: The immediate and total withdrawal of Americans from the Middle East." (Emphasis mine: what a great jab at Nixon's "secret plan!")
I know libertarians and conservatives who voted for McGovern in 1972, because they realized the central importance of the Vietnam War, and they also recognized that Nixon's wage and price controls, destruction of the gold standard in international relations, and other interventions in the economy were about as socialist as McGovern's domestic agenda.
Just as McGovern's socialist rhetoric was not much worse than Nixon's actual domestic policies, Kerry's socialism can't possibly be too much worse than Bush's. In fact, on domestic matters, Republicans in Congress might provide gridlock, preventing President Kerry from getting away with what Compassionate Conservative Bush already has. On foreign policy, however, the president will have his way. Not wanting to appear unpatriotic, most congressional Republicans would unlikely resist a Democratic president's drive toward war. That was certainly the case with the World Wars, Korea, and Vietnam, anyway.
So if Kerry became the new George McGovern — as his conservative talk radio critics often and wrongly accuse him of being — he would clearly be the better candidate, and antiwar Americans from across the political spectrum could have a Democrat for whom to cheer, for more than the aesthetic and superficial reason that he happens to be someone who is not George W. Bush.
Instead, millions of peace-loving Americans will either stay at home, or vote for a third party contender who does oppose the war. Almost all the third parties have better ideas about US foreign policy than the Democrats and Republicans. Most radical is Libertarian Michael Badnarik, who wants to see the entire US empire dismantled.
But many voters — and nonvoters — would enthusiastically put all their differences with Kerry aside and pull the Democratic lever in November, if he represented a real alternative to Bush's warmongering.
Why doesn't Kerry change his position, even if it would likely win him the White House?
My guess is that Kerry has no interest in winning on a pro-peace platform, simply because it would diminish his mandate to make war once elected. He approves of Bush's imperial presidency, voted for Bush's imperial actions, and now wants the job of Emperor himself. He admires and seeks the power to drop bombs and deploy armies all over the globe, and he would rather risk losing the election than win a landslide victory, if winning meant he'd have a hard time rallying the nation behind his own ambitions to rule the world.
Even when the majority wants peace, the two major parties pursue war. So we see yet another failure of democracy to maintain a peaceful America.

|Habitat: Black-bellied whistling ducks (tree ducks) are
found regularly in southern Texas and erratically elsewhere. Open woodlands,
groves or thicket borders where ebony, mesquite, retama, huisache, and several
species of cacti are dominant in freshwater habitat are preferred (Oberholser
1974, Meanley and Meanley 1958). Range extensions have been facilitated by
flooding and impoundments.
Nest: Natural cavities in trees such as live oaks, ebony, willow, mesquite, and hackberry are preferred, but ground nests and nest boxes are sometimes used. The nest can be over land or water, but herbaceous vegetation under "land-bound" nests may be preferred to brush (Bolen et al. 1964). A perch near the cavity entrance may also be a factor in nest tree selection. Open and closed cavities are used. Nest cavities average 8.7 feet above ground or water and 23 inches deep, with 7.0 x 12.5 inch openings (Bellrose 1976). Nesting boxes should be 11 x 11 x 22 inches high at the front and tapered to 20 inches in the rear, with entrances 5 inches in diameter (Bolen 1967). Nest boxes should not be erected unless they are predator proof.
Food: Black-bellied whistling ducks are predominantly grazers (Rylander and Bolen 1974), but they can dabble and dive for aquatic food. Of 92 percent plant materials, sorghum and Bermudagrass predominated, with smartweeds, millets, water stargrass, and corn also occurring in one study (Bolen and Forsyth 1967). In some areas corn and oats are more important in the diet.
|Habitat: Wood ducks are associated
with bottomland hardwood forests where trees are large enough to provide
nesting cavities and where water areas provide food and cover requirements
(McGilvrey 1968). Requirements may be met in several important forest types,
all of which must be flooded during the early nesting season: (1) southern
flood plain, (2) red maple, (3) central flood plain, (4) temporarily flooded
oak-hickory, and (5) northern bottomland hardwoods.
Nest: Optimum natural cavities are 20 to 50 feet above the ground with entrance holes of 4 inches in diameter, cavity depths of 2 feet, and cavity bottoms measuring 10 x 10 inches (McGilvrey 1968). Management for cavities more than a half mile from water is not recommended, and dead trees, other than cypress, do not usually contain usable cavities. Good densities of suitable wood-duck cavities have been recorded for many timber types (Bellrose 1976). Nest boxes are readily used by wood ducks, and their use may increase breeding populations, even if natural cavities are abundant, if predators are excluded. Measurements and placement of wood duck boxes have been well described (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 1976, Bellrose 1976, McGilvrey 1968).
Food: Wood ducks consume large quantities of acorns, usually in flooded bottoms. Other mast and fleshy fruits also are eaten, as are waste corn and wheat (Bellrose 1976). Smartweed, buttonbush, bulrush, pondweed, cypress, ash, sweet gum, burweed, and arrow arum seeds are used by breeding birds. Skunk cabbage, coontail, and duckweed are also food items. Duckweed is also habitat for invertebrates in the diet (Grice and Rogers 1965).
|Habitat: The breeding range of the
common goldeneye generally coincides with the boreal coniferous forest in North
America (Johnsgard 1975, Bellrose 1976). In a Minnesota study, 87 percent of
breeding goldeneyes were found on large, sandbottomed fish lakes (Johnson
1967), while in New Brunswick, this species preferred water areas with marshy
shores and adjacent stands of old hardwoods (Carter 1958). In Maine, nests are
found in mature hardwoods adjacent to lakes with rocky shores, hard bottoms,
and clear water. Shoal waters less than 10 feet deep with an irregular
shoreline provide brood shelter and protective vegetation necessary for
duckling food (Gibbs 1961).
Nest: Common goldeneyes used and were more successful in open top or "bucket" cavities than in enclosed cavities in New Brunswick (Prince 1968). Most nests were in silver maples on wetter sites or American elms on drier sites and aspen in northern conifer forests. Nest trees averaged 23 inches in diameter with cavity dimensions of 8 inches in diameter and 18 inches deep; most entrances were 6 to 40 feet above ground (Prince 1968). Wooden nest boxes measuring 12 x 12 x 24 inches with elliptical entrances 31/2 x 41/2 inches were used extensively in Minnesota (Johnson 1967).
Food: Of 395 stomachs examined by Cottam (1939), crustaceans (32 percent), insects (28 percent), and molluscs (10 percent) were primary animal foods (total, 73.9 percent). Crabs, crayfish, amphipods, caddisfly larvae, water boatmen, naiads of dragonflies, damselflies, and mayflies were also found. Pondweed, wild celery, and seeds of pondweed and bulrushes were important plant materials.
|Habitat: Barrow's goldeneyes attain
their highest breeding population levels in western North America on moderately
alkaline lakes of small to medium size in parkland areas. Open water is a
necessity throughout the range, but frequently goldeneyes favor a dense growth
of submerged aquatics such as sago pondweed and widgeon grass. The abundance of
aquatic invertebrates may be more important than nesting cavities in
determining distribution (Johnsgard 1975).
Nest: This species is not an obligate tree nester, and has been reported to use holes in banks or lava beds, rock crevices, ground under shrubs and on islands, haylofts, crows' nests, and the outer walls of peat shelters for sheep in Iceland (Harris et al. 1954). However, the usual site is in dead stubs or trees such as aspen, Douglas-fir, and ponderosa pine within 100 feet of water (Palmer 1976). Deserted pileated woodpecker or common flicker cavities enlarged by natural decay are readily used (Palmer 1976). Cavity entrances from 3.0 to 3.9 inches in diameter, cavity depths between 9.8 and 52.9 inches, and cavity diameters between 6.5 and 9.0 inches have been reported (Johnsgard 1975). Nest boxes have been used around high lakes in the Cascade Mountains (Bellrose 1976).
Food: Food of 71 adult Barrow's goldeneyes consisted of 36 percent insects, 19 percent molluscs, 18 percent crustaceans, 4 percent other animals, and 22 percent plants (Cottom 1939). Naiads of dragonflies and damselflies, caddisfly and midge larvae, blue mussels, amphipods, isopods, and crayfish were important animal foods, and pondweeds and wild celery were primary plant foods.
|Habitat: Buffleheads favor small
ponds and lakes in open woodlands (Godfrey 1966). In British Columbia, most
nesting is in the interior Douglas-fir zone while poplar communities are
usually used in Alberta, and ponderosa pine types are preferred in California.
Scattered breeding records in Oregon, Wyoming, and Idaho are primarily in
subalpine lodgepole pine, and in Alaska (Erskine 1971) Engelmann spruce and
cottonwood stands are used for nesting.
Nest: Of 204 nests observed from California to Alaska, 107 were in aspen trees, 44 in Douglas-fir, 14 in balsam poplar and black cottonwood, 12 in ponderosa pine, 11 in poplar, and 16 in a few other coniferous and deciduous trees (Palmer 1976). Buffleheads prefer unaltered flicker holes in aspen. Dead trees close to (within 220 yards) or in water are preferred, and "bucket" or open top cavities are rarely used (Erkskine 1971). Forestry practices that leave stubs near water while clearing away most ground litter and slash that might hinder ducklings from reaching water are to be encouraged. Nest boxes used by captive buffleheads had entrances 2-7/8 inches wide with cavities 7 inches in diameter and 16 inches deep (Johnsgard 1975).
Food: Buffleheads consume mostly animal material. Insects make up 70 percent of summer foods in freshwater habitat. Midge, mayfly, and caddisfly larvae, and naiads of dragonflies and damselflies are also consumed. Water boatmen are the most widely distributed, important food. Plant food was found in many stomachs but much was fiber and was probably taken while catching aquatic insects. Pondweed and bulrush seeds were frequently consumed plant items. Dragonfly and damselfly larvae are important in the diet of ducklings in all areas (Erskine 1971).
|Habitat: Although hooded mergansers
prefer wooded, clear water streams, they also use the wooded shorelines of
lakes. Drainage of swamps and river bottoms, removal of snags, and other human
activities have been detrimental to this species as they have been to wood
ducks. Hooded mergansers are more easily disturbed by man and far more
sensitive to a decline in water quality than are wood ducks. Breeding densities
often seem more related to food abundance and availability than to nesting
cavities (Johnsgard 1975).
Nest: Cavities at any height may be selected in any species of tree; the size and shape of the cavity are apparently not important (Bent 1923). Natural cavities chosen are similar to those used by wood ducks but with smaller optimum dimensions. Frequent use of nest boxes has been reported in Missouri, Mississippi, and Oregon (Bellrose 1976). In Oregon, boxes were placed 30 to 50 feet apart in sets of 8 (Morse et al. 1969). Some of the most southerly nesting records of this species are from wood duck nest boxes (Bellrose 1976).
Food: The food habits of hooded mergansers are not well known, but are apparently more diversified than those of common mergansers. Of 138 stomachs taken from various locations in the United States, rough fishes made up 24.5 percent, game fish and unidentified fish fragments 19.4 percent, crayfish 22.3 percent, other crustaceans 10.3 percent, and aquatic and other insects 13.4 percent (Palmer 1976). Acorns are sometimes eaten in large quantities. Frogs, tadpoles, and molluscs such as snails are also consumed.
|Habitat: Common mergansers prefer
cool, clear waters of northern boreal or western forests, although at times
they have nested as far south as North Carolina and Mexico. Ponds as- sociated
with the upper portions of rivers in northern forested regions are often used
(Johnsgard 1975). As with hooded mergansers, clear water is needed for
Nest: Although hollow trees are the usual location, ground nests under thick cover or in rock crevices are not uncommon. A wide variety of other locations have been reported such as chimneys, hawk nests, bridge supports, and old buildings. The species of tree used for nesting and the height of the cavity are apparently unimportant (Foreman 1976). Nest sites are usually close to water (Bellrose 1976) and are used repeatedly, probably by the same female (Palmer 1976). Artificial nest boxes have been accepted, especially in Europe. Preferred dimensions are 9.1 to 11 inches wide, and 33.5 to 39.4 inches high, with 4.7 x 4.7-inch entrances, 19.7 to 23.6 inches above the base of the nest box (Johnsgard 1975).
Food: Programs to reduce populations of this fish-eating merganser have increased trout and salmon production in several areas, at least temporarily. Generally, common mergansers are opportunistic feeders with salmon taken extensively in some areas and suckers, chubs, and eels in others. In warm water areas, food is usually rough and forage fish such as carp, suckers, gizzard shad, perch, and catfish. In some areas, water plants, salamanders, insects, or molluscs may be important in the diet of this species (Palmer 1976).
|Habitat: Turkey vultures soar over
most of the forest types of the United States and southern Canada, with the
exception of the pine and spruce-fir stands in the extreme northeastern United
States. In search of food this common carrion eater makes use of the forest
openings created by roads, powerline rights-of-way, clearcuts, and abandoned
Nest: Preferred nest sites are often at a premium because of the bird's large size and the shortage of large snags. The smell of carrion around the nest necessitates a well-protected site to lessen predator losses. The nest site is almost always at or near ground level (Bent 1937). Although nesting sites are commonly located in hollow trees or hollow logs lying on the ground, these vultures will nest on cliffs, in caves, and in dense shrubbery (Gingrich 1914, Townsend 1914). These birds will return to the same nesting site year after year unless the site has been severely disturbed (Jackson 1903, Kempton 1927).
Food: Turkey vultures are scavengers and carrion-eaters, often hunting along roads where animals have been struck by automobiles. They feed on snakes, toads, rats, mice, and other available animal matter. Often a dozen or more vultures will gather at and feed on a large carcass.
|Habitat: The black
vulture is found in the southern Great Plains, southeastern pine forests,
oak-hickory forests, and intermediate oak-pine forests. It is a more southern
species than the turkey vulture.
Nest: Like turkey vultures, black vultures nest under a wide variety of conditions. They use the nest site as found without adding nesting materials (Hoxie 1886, Bent 1937). Hollow stumps or standing trees are favorite nesting sites when they are available; otherwise, eggs are laid on the ground, often in dense thickets of palmetto, yucca, or tall sawgrass (Bent 1937). Nests have been reported in abandoned buildings.
Food: this carrion-eater is often found in towns and cities, feeding on animal wastes, scraps, or garbage. Forests are used primarily for roosting and nesting sites, whereas feeding is usually in more open areas and along highways, where animal carcasses are more plentiful.
|Habitat: The peregrine falcon is
found in tundra regions, northern boreal forests, lodgepole pine and subalpine
fir, spruce-fir, southern hardwood-conifer, cold desert shrubs, and prairies ?
mainly in open country and along streams. It is also found around salt and
freshwater marshes (Fyfe 1969, Hickey and Anderson 1969, Nelson 1969). This
species is currently classified as "Endangered" in the United States.
Nest: Although the peregrine falcon is currently considered a cliff-nester, records indicate that it once nested in tree cavities (Goss 1878, Ridgway 1889, Ganier 1932, Bellrose 1938, Spofford 1942, 1943, 1945, 1947, Peterson 1948). The peregrine still uses cavities in broken-off trunks in Europe (Hickey 1942), but the hole-nesting population of America apparently disappeared with the felling of the great trees on which they depended (Hickey and Anderson 1969).
Food: The peregrine falcon feeds primarily on birds ranging in size from mallards to warblers, which are usually stunned or killed in flight. Mammals and large insects form only an insignificant portion of the diet (Bent 1938). White and Roseneau (1970) found remains of fish in the stomachs of peregrines in Alaska, and suggested that fish may be more common in some peregrine diets than the literature indicates.
|Habitat: The merlin is usually found in open
stands of boreal forest, Douglas-fir -- sitka spruce,
poplar-aspen-birch-willow, ponderosa pine--Douglas-fir, oak woodlands, and
saltwater marshes (Craighead and Craighead 1940, Lawrence 1949, Brown and
Weston 1961).
Nest: Like the peregrine falcon, most cavity nests for the merlin were reported before 1910, when it was nesting in cavities of poplars, cottonwoods, and American linden trees (Bendire 1892, Houseman 1894, Dippie 1895). The merlin usually uses tree nests built by other large birds (such as hawks, crows, and magpies) but sometimes nests on the ground under bushes or on cliffs and cutbanks.
Food: Brown and Amadon (1968) found that birds made up 80 percent (by weight) of the food for merlins, insects 15 percent, and mammals 5 percent. Ferguson (1922) examined 298 stomachs and found 4 mammals, 318 birds, and 967 insects. Birds found in the stomachs included small shorebirds, small game birds, and songbirds (which are normally captured in flight). Insect prey consisted of crickets, grasshoppers, dragonflies, beetles, and caterpillars (Bent 1938), while mammals included pocket gophers, squirrels, mice, and bats (Fisher 1893).
|Habitat: The American kestrel is the
smallest and most common falcon in North America, occurring in open and
semi-open country throughout the continent. In the Rocky Mountain region,
kestrels are most abundant on the plains, but do nest up to 8,000 feet
elevation in the Douglas-fir, ponderosa pine, and pinyon-juniper forest types
(Scott and Patton 1975, Bailey and Niedrach 1965). They have been observed on
the highest peaks after the nesting season (Bailey and Niedrach 1965).
Nest: Nest sites vary greatly, but kestrels prefer natural cavities or old woodpecker holes. The following nest sites are reported in order of usage: common flicker holes, natural cavities, cavities in arroyo banks or cliffs, buildings, magpie nests, and man-made nesting boxes (Bailey and Niedrach 1965, Bent 1938, Roest 1957, Forbush and May 1939). Nest boxes, approximately 10 x 10 x 15 inches, should be located 10 to 35 feet above ground with a 3-inch entrance hole. Natural cavities or nest boxes should be available along edges of forest openings (Bailey and Niedrach 1965, Hamerstrom et al. 1973, Pearson 1936).
Food: Kestrels hunt from high exposed perches overlooking forest openings, fields, or pastures. Food consists primarily of insects (often grasshoppers), small mammals, and an occasional bird (Bent 1938).
|Habitat: The barn owl inhabits most
of the forest types in the United States except the higher elevation types in
the Rocky Mountains. They are usually considered uncommon residents because
their silent nocturnal habits render them undetectable by most casual
observers. Barn owls are also birds of the open country, and adapt readily to
areas occupied by man (Marti 1974).
Nest: Before the coming of man, barn owls nested in natural cavities in trees, cliffs, or arroyo walls, but now they also nest in barns, church steeples, bird boxes, mine shafts, and dove-cotes (Bailey and Niedrach 1965, Reed 1897).
Food: Barn owls frequent areas where small mammals are plentiful; mice, voles, rats, gophers, and ground squirrels are major food items. Birds other than those such as house sparrows and blackbirds, which have communal roosts, are only rarely taken (Marti 1974).
|Habitat: This small owl is found in
most forest types below 8,000 feet elevation throughout the United States.
Screech owls prefer widely spaced trees, interspersed with grassy open spaces,
for hunting. Meadow edges and fruit orchards are favored throughout the eastern
United States.
Nest: Like other owls, the male screech owl defends a nesting and feeding territory. Maples, apples, and sycamores with natural cavities or pines with woodpecker holes are preferred in the East (Bent 1938). Along the drainage systems of the plains areas, natural cavities or common flicker holes in cottonwood trees are preferred (Bailey and Niedrach 1965). Nest boxes in orchards or residential areas are often used. Hamerstrom (1972) recommended a nesting box 8 x 8 x 8 inches with a 3 inch entrance hole.
Food: Screech owls are among the most nocturnal owls and are rarely seen feeding. Major food items are mice and insects. Fisher (1893) examined 255 stomachs of screech owls and found birds in 15 percent of them, mice in 36 percent, and insects in 39 percent. Korschgen and Stuart (1972) found mostly small mammals in 419 screech owl pellets from western Missouri. The volume of the screech owl pellets was predominantly meadow mice, white-footed mice, and cotton rats.
|Habitat: The small whiskered owl is
generally found in the dense oak or oak-pine forests of southern Arizona,
southwestern New Mexico, and into Mexico.
Nest: Nests have been reported in both natural cavities and old woodpecker holes located in oak, cottonwood, willow, walnut, sycamore, and juniper trees (Bent 1938). Karalus and Eckert (1974) suggest that white oak is one of the favorite nest sites, and that these small owls prefer to nest in cavities in the limbs of trees rather than in the trunk.
Food: Black crickets, hairy crickets, moths, grasshoppers, large beetle larvae, and centipedes are the principal elements of the diet (Jacot 1931). In addition to those mentioned by Jacot, Karalus and Eckert (1974) list praying mantids, roaches, cicadas, scorpions, and small mammals as part of the diet.

South Fayette wrestling in midst of historic season
Led by a fine mix of experienced returnees and precocious freshmen, South Fayette is having a wrestling season like no other in the program's history.
The list of Lions' superlatives and "firsts" so far this season is lengthy. But they're hoping to add a few more high-profile accomplishments in the coming seven weeks.
"It's actually pretty exciting how we've been doing and what we've been able to do so far," senior 113-pounder Seth Carr said. "But what's even better is that we should do well in the tournaments we have coming up."
At Wednesday's Section 1-AA team championship tournament, host South Fayette is hoping to add to its regular-season Section 1A title it earned by winning all five dual matches.
That's a program first, according to second-year coach Rick Chaussard. It was earned via a victory last week over previously-No. 1-ranked Chartiers-Houston, something else South Fayette hadn't done before.
"That," said Chaussard, "was a very big confidence boost for them."
The victory over the Bucs came a few days after the Lions had their best showing at the Allegheny County tournament. South Fayette placed fourth overall and was the only Class AA team among the top 20. Led by Mike Fetchet's 170-pound title, the Lions boasted 10 placewinners — tied with winner North Allegheny for the most in the tournament.
The performance added to top-three finishes at the other two tournaments South Fayette entered this season — Chartiers Valley (second) and West Mifflin (third).
"We brought home hardware from all of them," Chaussard said. "The guys liked that."
The hardware haul, the Lions hope, will continue for the team and individuals.
Should they qualify for WPIALs, the Lions hope to build on last season's effort. According to Chaussard, in what was only South Fayette's second WPIAL team tournament appearance, the Lions won their first match at the event in school history.
"We're taking it a match at a time," Chaussard said, "but there is a little buzz around the school among the kids and faculty and throughout the area."
There's even more buzz surrounding several individual South Fayette wrestlers and their chances for WPIAL medals and qualifying for the state tournament.
Fetchet, Carr and sophomore J.J. Walker headline that group after each was a PIAA qualifier last season. Fetchet, a Columbia University recruit, placed fifth at 160.
Carr, who also is being recruited by Division I colleges, came within a match of a PIAA medal last season and has the potential to break through next month in Hershey.
Chaussard said Walker was "a pleasant surprise" as a 152-pound PIAA qualifier last season as freshman. This season, no fewer than three South Fayette freshmen have proved they have the ability to place at higher-level individual tournaments: Mike Carr (120 pounds), Jasper Wolfe (106) and Shane Ging (132).
In addition to the Carrs, two other sets of siblings are key contributors: juniors Grant Fetchet (152) and Zach Walker (195) join Mike and J.J., respectively.
Seniors Brad Haney (182) and Brandon Keck (145) also placed at the county tournament and could contend this postseason.
"We're very pleased with the depth we've shown with all our wrestlers," Chaussard said.

Moore and Fuller Families of Australia
Shirley Agnes Sanderson
Granddaughter of Claude Fuller
Great great great granddaughter of
William Moore
Dedicated to my children - Clare Lesley, Aird, Ian and Duncan John who carry
all those fine qualities of strength and endurance found in our Australian ancestors.
Cousins from Australia, South Africa, England and America have sent me their family material for this website.
This is their story …..
And it is also mine.
My son Duncan, my daughter-in-law Noeleen and my grandchildren Hayleigh and Cameron emigrated from England to Australia at the end of 2006. Duncan, through the internet, discovered two cousins in Australia - Allen Maunder and Greg Weekes - who both forwarded their family trees to him. This early information was very exciting for both Duncan and me as apart from a few family names and dates included in a booklet about Claude Fuller, we had no knowledge of either Moore or Fuller relatives.
Allen Maunder - a descendant of William and Eleanor Moore and their eldest son William Moore Junior - was the first cousin to get in touch with Duncan. He sent Duncan an interesting amount of information about William Moore and Eleanor Wise and I contacted him when I visited Australia in 2007. Without this contact, this book would not have been written and I would not have found my Australian cousins.
I would at the outset like to express my grateful thanks to Allen who has answered my questions from the beginning (sometimes rather foolish ones) with endless patience, who has generously provided family material and whose knowledge has been invaluable. He has also given me very useful hints about the more mysterious workings of a computer!
Special thanks go to Allen for checking the whole manuscript for possible family or historical errors.
When I was visiting my family in 2007, the State of Victoria held a Seniors' Week. One of the activities offered was held at the Institute of Genealogical Research at Blackburn. The staff offered generous help to the point of doing the research for you! I made the trip by train and bus - meeting interesting people on the way. I spent a full day there. It was here that I found a first reference to Edward Fuller Senior and Elizabeth Pendegrass. I also enjoyed reading about the ships our ancestors sailed on.
Second cousins Sandra Fuller and Penny Fuller have researched the Fuller family history with most interesting results. Through their efforts the Fuller story has come alive. I thank them both not only for the research but for all their support and encouragement.
All this information triggered off a second book about our Australian family history (which should have been the first!) and I hope present family and future descendants will enjoy this book and find it useful to discover their roots. Since returning from Australia in 2007, Genes Reunited has put me in touch with family in Australia as well as those in England, South Africa and the USA. All the family have been wonderfully generous in providing information. Family members have also been kind and helpful in checking their particular chapters for me. My thanks to you all.
My thanks go to the Haywards Heath U3A Family History Group 2. I may not have embarked on the first booklet without their support and encouragement. In particular I thank my friend and member of this group - Ann Corbishley. She has a wonderful knack of finding interesting bits of information and helpful websites. Shortly before leaving for Australia in 2007, I mentioned the family tree we had received from Allen Maunder. Ann googled the name William Moore and found Ruth Hunt's website.
Special thanks to my son Ian Sanderson who lives in Lindfield, England for editing the main section of this work and for making very helpful suggestions. He has also rescued this silver surfer from many computer problems - taught her to cut, paste, crop and much more - all mysterious activities at the time.
Thank you to my daughter Clare who lives in England and to my son Duncan in Australia who have both encouraged me to keep writing. Duncan has sent me helpful information that he finds on the internet and has always been interested in our family history. My son Aird, who lives in South Africa, has from a young boy also been interested in the family history.
I have included background information about England and Australia simply because family and future descendants in Australia may or may not know much about English history and family outside of Australia may not know about that country. I have also added in a little about South Africa.
Future family historians please note that Shaun Mataciunas's birth date is the 18th July 1981 and not 18th November 1981 as reflected in the Claude Fuller booklet. The 18th November was his great grandmother's birthday! The 18th July is also the birth date of our great Nelson Mandela (past President of South Africa) in honour of whom on the 29th August 2007 a statue was unveiled in Parliament Square, London.
I have made a promise to some members of the family not to include information about living relatives on the internet. I would be happy should anyone wish to publish any part of this book on the web but please do not include material about any living person without their prior consent.

Duncan has two volumes in Australia which contain photographs and photocopies of fairly substantial portions of each of Claude Fuller's books.
If any family in Australia or any visiting family member is interested in looking at these, Duncan will have them available and perhaps he will pass them on to his family.
Should any of our family or descendants travel to South Africa, the originals of Claude Fuller's books and papers are in the Don Africana and
Killie Campbell libraries in Durban. Should any of our family or descendants travel to Australia, I am quite sure you will receive a warm welcome from our immediate family and the many cousins there.
As Duncan said in an email in 2007 to one of our Australian cousins:
'It seems strange and certainly fortuitous that I have come to Australia - a full circle.
In 1995 we left South Africa (the land of the mighty Springboks - World Cup 2007 winners!) and moved to Sussex in the UK.
My wife, Noeleen and I never really enjoyed it over there so we migrated to Australia in 2006.
My children who were born in the UK love it here and so do we. We feel like we have slotted in just nicely - like
a little place that was kept just for us so we feel really fortunate.

I can be contacted by clicking on the "SEND EMAIL" button at the bottom of this page.
When I was asked whether I would like to write a foreword for this book I was pleasantly surprised and, of course, I accepted. I met Shirley via the Internet when she contacted me in connection with the research I had undertaken concerning my (and Shirley's) great-great-great grandparents – William Moore and his wife Eleanor Wise, both of them reluctant immigrants from England.
A family history book (or website), such as this one, can always be seen as a very important link between current family members and common ancestors somewhere in the dim dark past. No doubt one of your first thoughts about the book will be to be amazed at the great number of hours, months and years that have been devoted to the gathering of family dates and places, stories, anecdotes and photos which all combine to make the result a family history to be treasured by present – and future – generations.
As I was proof-reading the text for Shirley I could not help but think over and again the amount of time, work and dedication to family that Shirley has so obviously displayed in each and every page. It is not hard to see that a lifetime of thoughts and fond memories have been captured for us all to see. Of course. My thoughts also stray to the many other extended family members who have laid a substantial part of the groundwork in the more "remote" areas of Shirley's extended family tree.
When Shirley first asked me to proof-read the book for her I had thoughts that my eyes would be battling their way through thousands of family names and dates and I had notions of "nodding off" among a tiring array of names and dates. Not so.
From the book, Australian history springs to life, as does that of South Africa and England.
Of course, a family history can never be complete. In that family tree book that I was expecting to see, it would have been out of date by the time that you, the reader, first looked at it. Wisely, Shirley has not tried to scoop up details of absolutely every descendant of the families in this book. From past experience I know that the details are only as accurate as distant relatives believe them to be.
This work by Shirley gives you a perfect opportunity to document and update your own part of the famil as time passes. Therefore where possible, for the benefit of your descendants, it is important that you should add your facts to the book as the need arises. In addition to the cold data of when and where, keep in mind that future relatives will be interested in all of those little family anecdotes that seem to come along when we least expect them.
Congratulations, Shirley, on a job marvellously done.
AFTERTHOUGHT: This website is just a very-much-shortened version of the book. Please email (the link is below) for details.
Allen Maunder, descendant of the first child (William junior) of William Moore and Eleanor Wise.
Hawkesbury River area, NSW, Australia - July 2012

Saw it last night and i can say i enjoyed the movie since i had no other expectation than a LOTR type of movie, some cliche's some and some, however I liked it.
What i didn't liked it though was the terrible 3D 48fps motion which i hateeeed. It looked like a cheap B movie or a theater play. I honestly wanted to leave because of this. Where was that fairy tale image. I look forward to see it again on a regular 24fps.
I'm still listening to this again and again ; Howard Shore and his friends are geniuses
I did like it, but not as much as lotr – I feel the hobbit is much more "family friendly", even tho there were loads of kills. I thought it was a bit boring.
I also watched it in 3D HFR, and I'd rather not watch a HFR movie again. The 3D however was pretty subtle, I like that, not having to face stones or swords thrown directly into my face.
Indeed, Hobbit was written as a "book for children" by Tolkien himself…
Anyway, Tolkien's genius is true magic I think…
Creating languages, creating such worlds and creatures…
What can we say…
This is magic…
On Tolkien's grave, J. R. R. Tolkien is referred to as Beren and his wife Edith is referred to as Lúthien…:
I finally saw it last night! Glad I was still able to catch it in the cinemas.

And yes, the music is great! I was humming it, leaving the cinema.
