One man was shot to death and another was stabbed by separate assailants during a brawl that erupted early Sunday outside a punk-rock concert in Alpine Village near Torrance.
The fight spilled into the parking lot of the Alpine Village Center at 833 Torrance Blvd., in an unincorporated county area, at about 12:15 a.m., according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
The shooting victim was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. A second male victim was stabbed during the fight and was taken to a local hospital in stable condition.
The two incidents are being investigated as separate crimes occurring at the same venue, the department said.
An official with the Los Angeles County Coroner's Department said the victims' names are being withheld as the investigation continues.
No arrests have been made. Investigators said descriptions of the gunman have been vague.
Sheriff's deputies said the punk band Agression, from Oxnard, was headlining the event. Other acts scheduled to perform were Circle One, Dirty Rebels and Rompe Cabezas.
Alpine Village Center offers dining, shops and several halls for concerts, and sheriff's deputies said there was much activity there Saturday night.
By Sunday afternoon, life was back to normal at the German-themed shopping center featuring gift shops, restaurants and a supermarket - all in quaint buildings with turreted rooftops a block or so away from the Harbor (110) Freeway.
In the parking lot, vendors sold their wares at the swap meet that occurs every Sunday.
At the Alpine Village Inn, senior citizens polka-danced on the small ballroom floor to the music of a live keyboardist. The punk-rock concert occurred in a neighboring building called the Klubhaus, which typically hosts private events such as weddings and banquets.
Ivan Fernandez of Torrance, who works at the nearby swap meet, said although he wasn't at Saturday night's concert, he attended a similar punk-metal show at the same venue about a year ago, and a melee broke out in the parking lot then as well.
"That night, there were kind of two groups: the metal heads and the gangsters," he said. "They clashed."
Fernandez said that in last year's brawl his friend - who also worked at the swap meet - was dragged into the fight and took a few kicks to the head.
"He had a concussion, and lost his memory," Fernandez said. "He couldn't work no more."
Alpine Village is clearly a party venue: Its Facebook page features photo after photo of young people slamming beers, dirty dancing and eating sausages.

Editor's note: The following commentary was written by Bob Stallman, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation and chairman of the U.S. Farmers and Ranchers Alliance. It was originally published on TheHill.com.
For the past 40 years, America's farming and ranching heritage has been officially recognized on National Agriculture Day, which this year falls on March 19. Across the country, farmers, ranchers and agriculture groups use this moment-in-time to bring others – many of whom may have never stepped one foot on a farm or ranch – closer to the work they do to produce food for our nation. Here in Washington, D.C., the Ag Day experience has been a long-standing tradition of farmers and ranchers meeting with their representatives in Congress to share information about the vital role of American agriculture.
While the events and meetings taking place on National Ag Day are important, the nation's interest and focus on agriculture should not be limited to one day a year. The stories that farmers and ranchers share on Ag Day should reverberate throughout the year – as farmers and ranchers continue to share their experiences in their own local communities, with online audiences and with the media.
The good news is that popular culture has fully embraced capturing stories about food. In fact, at the South by Southwest Film Festival this past week, acclaimed filmmaker James Moll announced the production of a feature-length documentary he's working on about the next generation of American farmers and ranchers.
The fact remains that too many consumers still have questions about how our food is grown and raised. A recent survey by the USFRA, a group of farmer- and rancher-led organizations and agricultural partners, found that one-in-four Americans have questions about the food they are purchasing.
So, why does this disconnect exist in a day and age when entire television networks, websites and news outlets are exclusively dedicated to sharing stories about food? Why are farmers and ranchers often missing from the conversation that is happening in popular culture?
The answer is not simple. As an industry, farmers and ranchers must do more to share their stories and dispel common myths about the work we do on our farms and ranches. But, it is also up to all consumers, media and even our elected officials to continue to ask questions and even demand that farmers and ranchers be called upon when questions about food production arise.
For farmers and ranchers, every day is Ag Day. This is a moment that should be recognized not simply as an opportunity to celebrate who we are as an industry or the generations that farmed before us. It's also about making sure people have access to information about the food they purchase, eat and serve their families every day.
As a farmer, and leader of two major agriculture organizations, I believe it's the responsibility of farmers and ranchers to answer questions about how food is grown and raised. The stories we can share and answers we can give about food production range from the state-of-the-art science and technology we're applying to minimize environmental impact to the high demand for agriculture school graduates needed to lead the next generation of farming and ranching. Whatever the question, we want to talk.
So the next time you have a question about a particular practice on a farm or ranch, whether it's how animals are treated or why a certain technology is being used, ask a farmer or rancher. We may not always agree on the answer or our practices, but we will achieve the goal of starting a conversation that involves the people who actually grow and raise your food.

" Brand: Laura Mercier / Type: Eye Care / Suitable for: Eye / Skin type: for dry skin and for all types "
* Prices may differ from that shownMore Offers
Laura Mercier Eye Basics
Purchasing high end make-up isn't something I do very often, but I will if I read enough recommendations about a product and am convinced that it is worth the money. As a result my make up collection is composed of all brands from the cheapest to the more expensive, and one of my more extravagant purchases in recent months was the Laura Mercier Eye Basics Eye Primer.
When I purchase eye primers, if I am choosing one over another it will often be because it can also be used as a shadow in itself. That isn't to say that I don't purchase primers that have no colour to them, for example the Too Faced Shadow Insurance, which is only useful as a primer, is in my collection simply because it is an outstanding product and ensures eye shadows stay crease free all day. I think it is also worth saying that some eye shadows are just so good that they don't need a primer anyway, but some will crease dreadfully as the day progresses which is less than a good look to have.
All About The Product and My Opinion
The Laura Mercier Eye Basics attracted me because it has certain shades that I feel are just pigmented enough to allow me to use them as shadows, especially if I am looking to do a really natural eye which I am increasingly doing at the moment. The colour that I chose after reading many online reviews was Buff, but as I have been very pleased with it I may go onto purchase another shade in the future, especially If I can find an offer as I feel this product carries a premium price tag.
The product retails over at John Lewis for £20.50 which in my opinion is too high. I had vouchers to use, but I would hesitate to re-purchase unless I could undercut this price, as although the product is superb, it doesn't make me want to buy again for this steep financial outlay. There are 8 shades-
Linen - Very pale ideal for really light skin tones. (Also reported to be good for highlighting and using to brighten up the inner corner)
Peach- Creamy peach shade with no shimmer.
Cotton- Light slightly yellow toned beige
Eye Bright - Light blue
Flax- Light beige with a slight sheen
Buff- Peach toned bronze with pink slight shimmer.
Wheat- camel beige
Tawny- not sure of this exact shade colour but you can see this on the House of Fraser website.
The product is said to create the perfect canvas for make-up by covering imperfections and enhancing the durability of eye make up. For me it also has the additional benefit of being an eye shadow in itself if you choose the colour correctly. Many of the shades are a natural colour and have names like Linen Flax and Wheat, and if you choose a colour in line with your own natural skin tone you are not going to see it, but it will still have the two qualities I mentioned. However by choosing the shade Buff I have been able to enjoy a lovely wash of colour over my eyes, that only needs a slightly more intense brown blended out from the crease to give a very natural look. This is ideal for spring and summer that only takes seconds to achieve.The product is supplied in a lip gloss style bottle with a sponge tip applicator, and there is just over 5g in the container. The shade I have called Buff is a peachy/bronze colour with a hint of pink and it has a very slight shimmer to it. It is said to have a sheer creamy texture and a semi matte finish which I would agree with. It also claims to have botanicals to sooth distressed lids, and several vitamins for anti-oxidant properties, as well as eye bright which is anti-inflammatory. I would certainly say that it is reassuring to know that the product has these ingredients. Furthermore hopefully this should translate into wide open eyes that look bright and youthful- does it?- yes to an extent I think this does impart a moist and dewy look that is creamy and makes lids look moisturised. For these reasons it is ideal for older skin.
I find it very easy to work with and to blend, and in moment you can have a lovely dewy coverage which you can either cover with shadows or leave as a natural wash of colour. I have found the product to work really well in relation to the prevention of creasing. I tried it with my favourite eye shadows including Nars creamy colours, which are the worst to crease that I own, and the look was lovely with no hint of this problem at all. For my very quick summer look I simply apply using the applicator all over the lid blending up to the eyebrow and then I lightly powder with Bare Minerals Mineral Veil. I then simply apply my favourite bronzer -Too Faced Chocolate Soleil into the crease of the eye blending up slightly using a crease brush, and this gives a lovely natural easy to do holiday make up eye look. It is easy to remove at the end of the day with wipes, cream cleansers or even soap and water.
In comparison with other products on the market I think it is fair to say that they remind me so much of Mac Paint Pots which I adore and which have the same dual benefits. This is another reason why I feel these are too high in price because MAC Paint Pots retail for £14.50 which is in the price area about where I would like to see this product fall.
I always look at my favourite make up review site at www.makeupalley.com for their opinion before I purchase as these reviews are always brilliant. I noticed they give this product in the shade Buff 4 out of 5, which is a very good score indeed as these reviews are always accurate and truthful. 69% said they would re-purchase which is a promising number, and I would say I fall in this category of opinion exactly. This is not the only product on the market of its type, and it costs a considerable amount more than some of its excellent rivals.
Final Thoughts
I will finish by saying that I would not be tempted into purchasing the flesh coloured shades that would be less visible on the lid, as for me the benefit of this product is the ability to wear the colour alone. I would if the price was less though - it all comes down to that in the end with this. It is priced too high and I feel this will deter potential purchasers especially beyond their initial first buy.
This review is also published on Ciao under my user name Violet1278
"Always use a primer before you paint the colour" - My dad's advice when painting. Well. I guess that I have taken this into putting my makeup on (Hopefully not applied so I look like I AM wearing paint....) Now. This is something that I would normally never splash out on - May I just point out here that Laura Mercier is a high end makeup brand (To show this is normally stocked at such places like Harvey Nicholls and Harrods....) so the prices are high. I am usually happy to go with low budget high street makeup but if I have the chance then I will collect a few pieces because, and you cannot fault it, the quality is just so much better and lasts longer.
The reason I came into contact with Laura Mercier was through a birthday shopping trip with the mother. And this product was no different. I had read many, many reviews on this product so I wasn't totally sucked in by the sales. Well. Not quite. I actually found the staff very helpful and genuinely interested in helping.
The product itself is marketed as "eye basics" and the company claim it will hide imperfections and create a good base for applying eye makeup. At around £24 for 0.18oz it sounds like a huge amount of money for not a lot of product, but I should point out that you actually use very little per application and it does last well (I have had mine for several weeks and do not seem to have really used any) I actually used this as a change from the "eye canvas" (around £26) which is a more solid form of primer because I wanted something that would make my cheap eye shadows stay true to their colour - The canvas gives a more muted effect (I was informed that this is to keep make up looking natural - The Laura Mercier goal)
It comes in a choice of 8 shades with each providing a slightly different coverage so I would suggest letting the sales rep show you how to apply it and colour match you (and enjoy the 10 mins of pampering and make over) - This way you are guaranteed a perfect match that will suit your needs. Just to highlight that, with most high end products, LM keep a record (if you want them to) of your colour so you can order online in the future and can save time if needed - Not that I intend to make a huge habit of shopping here for financial reasons...
The product is waterproof (tested, and agreed) and contains various vitamins that are supposed to provide protection (Have I noticed any difference?! Not really. Don't rely on this to perform miracles) I was shown to apply this using the applicator (This is built into the lid, think your standard lip gloss applicator) and then blending with a brush and setting with a powder. This to me is a little extreme and to be honest also relies on your having yet more tools to use (I wouldn't mind but it costs enough already) I personally have fund the best way to use it is to put a few "blobs" in the center of your eye lid and use your fingers to blend out to the edges.
I have found that the product lasts well and does enhance the bright shades from my summer colours and also keep the warpaint on. I, as with other products, put this on, spent the day at work and then went to the gym. I managed to get it to last right up until dinner and didn't really notice any creasing on the lid (The main point of a primer) so I would say it was a success.
The product is made from fairly natural ingredients and I have found it not to irritate my very sensitive skin. Would I purchase this product again? If I'm honest probably not, this is not to say I don't think it is extremely good quality and does give you value for (all be it a lot) of money but I personally prefer the canvas solid primer. I rarely use bright colours, and whilst it is nice to have a primer for such occasions I am happy to keep with more natural tones. For me, the solid worked better and lasts longer - I felt you used less with this and do not risk any leaking into your bag.
I would say if you consider buying this go to the counter, explain what you use and ask questions, don't feel rushed as they do want to help, and, ultimately you don't want to come away feeling let down. It's a great product, yes, it is expensive but I think you will probably get a good 8 - 12 months if you use this properly and it will be worth it as I didn't have to top up the warpaint during the day like I have with some of the very cheap products.

Spazy Croonerisms 26Language brain teasers are those that involve the English language. You need to think about and manipulate words and letters.
A spoonerism is a pair of words that can have their initial sounds switched to form new words. The pairs need only sound the same, not necessarily be spelled the same (power saw & sour paw, horse cart & coarse heart). There may sometimes be one or two connecting words (kick the stone & stick the cone, king of the rats & ring of the cats). Given the following definitions, what are the spoonerisms?
1) the femur, relatively speaking & money lent to purchase a flat bottomed cargo boat
2) a molar, relative to position & a kiosk where small short nails can be purchased
3) an overcast period of time & unstylish pottery raw material
4) a stupid pyramid occupant & a silent ventriloquist partner
Answer1) large bone & barge loan
2) back tooth & tack booth
3) cloudy day & dowdy clay

I found this in the attic of a friends house last night while cleaning. It belonged to my friends' husbands' father. He's had the sign sign he was a kid, and from the looks of it, it could be dated anywhere from the 1950's-1960's. My friend would like to sell it because they are moving and trying to rid themselves of clutter, but I have NO IDEA how much this would go for. I've scoured the internet for information on it, but can't seem to find anything other than an old eBay auction for a sign like this one that ended back in 2007. Anyone know anything about this sign?
Here is what the back of the sign reads:
Item 005-211
Budweiser back bar pictorial sign
Produced by price brothers, inc. Chicago, IL
Union made fabricators

Cadets from the Los Alamos High School NJROTC present the colors at a recent student of the term breakfast at Los Alamos Middle School.
The U.S. Department of Energy announced today it would renew funding, subject to congressional appropriations, for the Consortium for the Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors (CASL), an Energy Innovation Hub established in 2010 to develop advanced computing capabilities that serve as a virtual version of existing, operating nuclear reactors.
The move, according to the DOE, "would help enable the role that nuclear energy has in providing dependable and affordable energy to America while advancing innovative research in an energy source central to achieving the president's goals for a low-carbon energy future."
Under the funding plan, the Hub would receive up to $121.5 million over five years, subject to congressional appropriations.
Over the next five years, CASL researchers would be directed to focus on extending the modeling and simulation tools built during its first phase to include additional nuclear reactor designs, including small modular reactors.
The results of last weekend's Los Alamos County Science Fair were announced by the Los Alamos Public Schools Friday.
Among the top winners at the ceremony was Elise Anne Koskello, a junior at Los Alamos High School, who won in the senior division physical sciences.
There were winners in both physical and life science categories in the upper and lower grades.
Also in the senior division, Priyanka Velappan, a LAHS freshman, won in the life science division.
The two junior division winners were Lillian Petersen for physical science and Rockwell Leikness for life science.
Petersen is a seventh grader at Los Alamos Middle School and Leikness is a sixth grader attending Aspen Elementary School.
It's an ambitious plan for a prom, but Los Alamos High School students Deanna Gutierrez and Jordan Henson seem to have plenty of inside and outside support for their plan.
Their plan was presented at Thursday's work session of the Los Alamos School Board where Gutierrez, the junior class president, and Henson, the vice president, went detail by detail through their presentation of two prom proposals.
One proposal centered on having the prom at the Los Alamos County Golf Course. The other was centered on going "off the hill" to Buffalo Thunder Resort and Casino.
When they were done with the comparison part of the presentation, the two students announced that the class preferred Buffalo Thunder.
Even though there was a $14 price difference in the tickets, Henson said the students preferred Buffalo Thunder because they felt they would be getting more bang for their buck for their $50 ticket.
Prom at Buffalo Thunder would include a three-course dinner in a ballroom setting with clean up and set up included. She also said that the junior class, which has been fundraising since they were freshmen, will be paying for the DJ, the court supplies and the tickets.
The Canyon Complex, the low-profile building on Fourth Street owned by the Los Alamos Public Schools, will be getting an upgrade soon. The building is used as a training center for Los Alamos National Laboratory, but used to be Canyon Elementary School.
According to school officials, the building, which is more than 50 years old, was due for some much needed cosmetic improvements on the outside, as well as some key improvements to the interior.
When the project is completed, the building will be enveloped in a modern looking metal exterior designed to make the exterior facade look unified and modern looking. A key feature of that is extending the facade slightly beyond the roof so as to hide the boxy looking heating and air conditioning units on the roof.
According to LAPS' Chief Operations Officer Joanie Ahlers, the upgrade will cost about $640,000 and will feature some key interior improvements, as well.
The renovation will primarily focus on the south wing, and will also include new bathrooms, doors and windows. The improvements, including the metal facade are also designed to improve energy efficiency.
Carpeting will also be replaced during the renovation.
Ahlers said the bid was originally just going to cover the facade, but the bids were so competitive, they were able to include the bathroom renovations.
At a recent League of Women Voters of Los Alamos forum, Los Alamos residents got a good look at the Los Alamos School Board candidates running for the three seats up for grab this election.
Those candidates are Nan Holmes, William Hargraves and Sheryl Nichols in District 3, Andrea Cunningham and Michael Fassbender in District 4 and Jennifer McCumber in District 5.
Many questions were asked of the candidates, and most of them were about funding.
Barbara Calef, president of the LWVLA forum, kicked off the money questions asking about how the district can maintain a steady flow of funding.
All of the candidates agreed that the expansion of community and county partnerships was the way to go.
Hargraves told the audience that one has to be realistic, and that "they aren't going to get a lot of money from the state."
Fassbender suggested forging as well expanding partnerships with local entities that already have limited partnerships with the schools, such a UNM-LA, the Juvenile Justice Advisory Board and the county in general.
Holmes agreed with this, especially in the face of what she said were some upcoming challenges being faced by the school board this year due to a shortfall in the state budget.
This may get a little confusing.
There are four candidates running for two positions on the Los Alamos Advisory Board, the board that advises and guides the CEO of the University of New Mexico-Los Alamos campus.
Three candidates are running for Position 3. They are Michael Dirosa, Troy Hughes and James Robinson. Anyone from anywhere in Los Alamos can vote for one of them, since the board has no districts.
After that, voters can also go ahead and vote for Steven Boerigter, the incumbent and chairman of the UNM-LA Board, even though he is running unopposed.
At Wednesday night's League of Women Voters, Los Alamos voters forum, the three candidates for Position 3 got their chance to interact with the public to explain why they would be the best candidate for the job as well as answer questions concerning certain issues surrounding UNM-LA.
Due to the rules of the forum however, Boerigter could not answer questions from the audience, since he had no challengers. However, he could give an opening and introductory statement, explain his viewpoints and perspective on certain issues, but nothing else.
As a result, most of the UNM-LA Advisory Board section of the forum was dedicated to the candidates running for Position 3.
When the New Mexico State Legislature meets this January, representatives from the Los Alamos Public Schools will be ready with their wishlist.
According to a pamphlet that will be distributed to the legislature, that wishlist includes:
• Increased salaries for all staff
• Sufficient funding for the "above the line" budget
• Flexibility when it comes to adoption of the state's teacher evaluation system
• Increased funding for transportation for all schools (not just charter schools)
• Capital outlay funding for structural repairs to the Duane Smith Auditorium (mostly weatherproofing the outside of the building, stucco).
The Los Alamos School Board is having its monthly board meeting Tuesday, Jan. 13 at the district offices of the the Los Alamos Public Schools, Suite V, 2101 Trinity Drive. The meeting starts at 5 p.m.
Board presentations will include:
• Recipients of Piñon Recognition certificates
• LEGO League Award winners
• Los Alamos Public Schools nominated as top place to work
• Nominees for the New Mexico School Board Student Achievement Awards
• Review of school board candidates
• Recognition of former LAPS employees Janice Carroll and Terry Izraelevitz as published authors.
Agenda items to be discussed include:
• Superintendent search update
• Aspen Construction report
• Discussion of improvements to the facade of the Los Alamos Canyon Complex
• Discussion of starting the 2015-16 Budget Process
Before the public portion of the meeting, the board also plans to go into executive session to discuss impending legal action.
Los Alamos High School student Andres Dow, 18, was recently summoned to Magistrate Court for allegedly harassing and bullying another student, as well as threatening a school employee with bodily harm.
Dow was also immediately suspended from school because of his actions.
According to parents of Dow's 14-year-old alleged victim, Dow started showing up at the victim's basketball practice "just to stare at him, which made (the victim) very anxious," read a statement in the police report.
As time went on, Dow allegedly escalated his harassment, and directly confronted his victim. The victim also said that whenever he would leave the campus for lunch, Dow would be allegedly be waiting for him, and Dow would just continue to stare at him.
According to the police report, the victim tried to move away from Dow, but Dow continued to follow him around the gym no matter where he went.
Things came to a head on another day when Dow allegedly grabbed the victim by the shoulders, pinned him up against a wall and told the victim to keep away from his girlfriend. When the victim attempted to escape, Dow, who is 5-foot-8 and weighs 140 pounds, allegedly blocked him, at one point grabbing him by the arm in an attempt to drag him outside "so they could fight without being at the school."

FOOTBALL'S Luis Suarez has struck again — this time "stealing" the World Cup trophy.
But the Liverpool and Uruguay striker appears to have bitten off more than he can chew — after his crime was uncovered by youngsters from a school in Bolton.
Pupils at St Catherine's CE Primary, in Horwich, found the stolen World Cup in a dumped backpack in their school grounds.
And there was not only the famous trophy in the bag, but other clues — including a Liverpool shirt and a World Cup ticket — leading students to point the finger at Suarez.
Football fans, however, have nothing to fear, the World Cup has not been stolen, rather the clever stunt was devised to inspire the children to write about their experiences.
Headteacher Karen Graham said: "The school was having a fire drill and we were all in the school grounds, when a backpack appeared over the school fence.
"When we opened it we were surprised to find the World Cup and the football shirt, everyone was shocked."
Children were left wondering if the World Cup really had been stolen and thrown over the fence in a hurry as the culprit was chased.
Children started to piece together the clues, the Liverpool shirt and the closeness of Bolton Wanderers stadium to the school — and wrote it all down.
Children penned statements to the police, letters to Fifa, and accounts of what they had seen and reports on what they thought had happened.
Mrs Graham said: "We explained that the World Cup hadn't not really been stolen, but I'm not sure all of them believed us because it was such a good copy."
Year six pupil Skye Gee-Clough said: "At first I thought the World Cup couldn't be a fake.
"I believed it was true. Everyone thought it was Luis Suarez who had stolen it as a bit of revenge because he's been banned for biting someone."
Classmate Bradley Spencer, in Year Sx, added: "There was a letter from Fifa and a Liverpool shirt so everyone thought it was Suarez.
"We believed it when Mrs Graham came into class and said someone had been arrested at Manchester Airport getting on to a plane for Uruguay."
- On 20 March 1966, four months before the 1966 World Cup in England, the original Jules Rimet trophy was stolen during a public exhibition at Westminster Central Hall
- The trophy was found seven days later wrapped in newspaper at the bottom of a garden hedge in South London — by a dog named Pickles
- Brazil won the World Cup for the third time in 1970, allowing them to keep the trophy
- In 1983 the trophy was stolen again — four men were tried and convicted for the crime in Brazil
- The trophy was never found, and was said to have been melted into gold bars
- In 2010, during the World Cup in South Africa, thieves broke into FIFA's temporary headquarters in Johannesburg and made off with replicas

I was stuck in the Frankfurt airport during the game with nowhere around to watch it, so I was forced to dump 20 cents per minute in to the internet machine and watch the game on the ESPN gametracker. I took breaks at certain times, but I was watching those lines moving for all of the key moments. When the thing came up and said that Marlin Jackson picked off Brady I immidiately could not stop laughing and screaming. Once I saw that it said final I immidiately burst in to tears of happiness, and could not stop laughing, crying, grinning and pumping my fists. The rest of the day went like this: our flight gets cancelled, our new flight gets delayed, the entire terminal has to leave the airport and re-enter through the security because of a suitcase they found that was not accounted for which added on about another 4 or 5 hours of delay, all of this on top of what was already 10 hours in the airport. I could not stop smiling through it all, 15 hours in an airport were some of the happiest I could ever imagine.
When the White Sox won the World Series I felt similar to this, but there is something about being in the Super Bowl that tops that completely.
I have to echo all the sentiments of ABA Days as well. Soak up these 2 weeks and enjoy it, and lets go win the damn game!!!

Faith Column: Skipping church
This past summer I had the good fortune of many vacation Sundays. There were wonderful people preaching for me while I was off. (Some of my congregation insists that I am always somewhat "off", even when I am present. Perhaps that is part of my pastoral charm!)
I confess that I did not go to church on my days off. I had no autographed bulletins from other churches to prove I went to worship, yet there was value in my time away from Sunday morning worship. As I share my observations, see how many of these you can relate to.
1. It is sometimes a relief to not go to church. After a busy week, sometimes it is good to just give yourself permission to stay home. (It helps you not feel guilty if you continue to make up your regular offering for those Sundays you are off.)
2. When I wasn't in church, I felt like I was missing out. I wanted a full report of how things went, what happened, who was there and who wasn't there. I spent more time in curious pondering than if I had actually been there.
3. The longer I was off, the easier it would have been to not come back, especially if I wasn't the pastor! Getting in a pattern of not coming to church is easy to establish. It would have been easy to make excuses like, "They got along fine without me. Maybe it would be fine not to be there."
4. Sometimes it is hard to be part of a church. Just like in a family, I occasionally think there is too much drama, too much nitpicking and too much worry about the future. Just like in a family, I sometimes feel the burden of caring about so many people when so many are facing health issues and difficult life situations.
5. It felt very good to come back to church. I love the church and I love the people. I was warmly greeted and even if I was teased a bit for the luxury of such a long vacation, it was affectionate teasing. I know this is where I belong. If I dreaded being here, or only came out of obligation, I should find a different church.
Some people might wish their pastor wasn't quite so honest and quite so human, but I am 100 percent sure that you can relate to my observations about missing church. Know you are always welcome at your church home. Take a break when you need it, and feel the joy and the love each and every time you come back ... weekly, monthly or seasonally.
May you be blessed with awareness of God's presence in your lives!

Fowler's return could happen any day
HOUSTON -- Veteran outfielder Dexter Fowler could return to the Astros' lineup any day.
Astros manager Bo Porter said Saturday that Fowler was scheduled to have four at-bats as designated hitter in his second game on rehab assignment at Triple-A Oklahoma City. He was 2-for-3 with an RBI in his first game on Friday against Iowa.
"He was fine," Porter said.
Fowler has been on the disabled list since June 27 with a strained right intercostal muscle. Expect him to play at least one game in the field for Oklahoma City before being activated, but that could happen as soon as Monday.
"When you play and you're playing consecutive days and we don't have any ill effects from what put you on the disabled list, you're ready to go," Porter said. "He's not down there to prove he can hit. He's down there to prove he's healthy."
Fowler, in his first season in Houston, was hitting .270 with six homers and 24 RBIs and a .377 on-base percentage.

Astus wrote:"The attitudes of the Tibetan Lamas from the eleventh century until today toward Chan have been, by and large, exceedingly negative, except for certain Nyingmapas like Longchenpa and Urgyan Lingpa. The Tibetan Lamas are content with their Indian-derived traditions as representing the authentic corpus of the Buddha's teachings. They have had absolutely no interest in the post-eighth-century developments of Buddhism in China, including Chan, and have had little or no contact personally with the Chinese teachers of Chan and the Japanese teachers of Zen. ... This Olympian disinterest, if not disdain, for non-Tibetan manifestations of Buddhism clearly represents a feeling on the part of Tibetans of their cultural superiority more than anything else. "
(John Myrdhin Reynolds: The Golden Letters, p. 223)
One thing I took into consideration was the Samye debate between Kamalaśīla and Héshang Móhēyǎn. The fact that Móhēyǎn lost and ultimately "suicided" showed how inferior the Northern Ch`an school was compared to the lineage of Indian Buddhism. I mean, this could be a major reason as to why Tibet seems to have disinterest in Buddhism in China.

The roasted red peppers added a lot of flavor to this salad, but it was the double basil (as a dressing ingredient and chopped basil in the salad) that makes this a good candidate for Weekend Herb Blogging. I used a lot of basil since I have plenty in my garden, but if you have to buy basil, you can get by with less. Basil is definitely one of my favorite herbs, and something I've been growing from seeds for many years. Wikipedia on basil says it's a perennial in warmer climates, but Utah basil is definitely grown as an annual. There are many types of basil, and it's one of the world's most popular herbs, used in many cuisines around the world. The distinctive flavor of basil will disappear with long cooking time, so it should either be used fresh, or added during the last few minutes of cooking.

White Bean and Roasted Red Pepper Salad with Roasted Tomato-Basil Dressing
(Makes 4-6 servings, recipe created by Kalyn)
2 cans (15 oz.) white beans, rinsed and drained well
2 red bell peppers, roasted on a grill, or use 1-2 cups roasted red pepper strips from a jar
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano (optional)
sea salt, fresh ground black pepper to taste
Dressing Ingredients:
3/4 cup slow roasted tomatoes (or use 1 can Muir Glen Fire Roasted Organic Tomatoes, very well drained (save the liquid and use to replace water in the dressing)
1/4 cup frozen basil puree (or use generous 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar or white wine vinegar
2-3 T water (or tomato liquid if using canned tomatoes)
1 tsp. minced garlic
1/4 C olive oil
1 tsp. Spike Seasoning (if you don't have Spike I would use some other type of season salt)
While beans are draining, combine tomatoes, basil puree, vinegar, 2 T water, garlic, and Spike seasoning in food processor. Puree until ingredients are well combined, then taste to see if you want to add another tablespoon of water. Remove mixing blade and use small whisk to mix olive oil into dressing.
Cut roasted peppers into strips, then put drained beans and pepper strips into a plastic bowl. (If making ahead, use a bowl with a lid.) Mix 1/2 cup dressing into bean pepper mixture. (If making ahead, refrigerate at this point.)
Just before serving mix in fresh chopped basil, chopped oregano, and a bit more dressing. (You will not need all the dressing. See below for ideas for using it.) Season to taste with salt and fresh ground black pepper, and serve.

Are you a Betty or a Veronica? Well, that answer may change based on your mood — and soon you can have your makeup match it.
MAC Cosmetics just leaked info on its upcoming makeup line, known as MAC Archie's Girls. First announced at last summer's Comic Con, the collection is inspired by girl-next-door and perfect blonde Betty and spoiled brunette beauty Veronica, from the classic Archie Comics.
When the line launches, you're going to get a little taste of why it's been so difficult for Archie to choose between the two over the years. That's because MAC Archie's Girls features two contrasting color collections, in two differently designed cases. Each separate line will have a total of 16 different products, including lipsticks, eye shadows, powders, polishes, and more.
The Betty line has a lot of perky pinks, peaches, lavenders, and other bright colors, with names like "Girl Next Door," "Kiss & Don't Tell," "Pep Pep Pep," and more. Veronica, on the other hand, is a bit darker — and so is her collection. Expect to see bright red, blackened plum, darker violet and even navy in that lineup, which also includes product names such as "Daddy's Little Girl," "Boyfriend Stealer," "Spoiled Rich," and "Pin-Up Purple."
The two ladies share a man, as well as a slew of accessories, including a brush kit, a coin purse and a makeup bag (I want that!), all with the love triangle participants listed as part of the line's logo. A tote bag and mirror will also be available, as online exclusives.
I've been reading Archie Comics since I was a kid and love the whole pin-up vibe, so I am pretty psyched about this. With prices ranging from $16.50 to $49.50, the makeup obviously isn't as cheap as the comic books. Just be thankful that there's no "Jughead scent."
MAC Archie's Girls will launch in New York City on January 31, 2013, with a national release following a week later on February 7. MAC also plans to go global with the collection sometime in March.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Topic: 11 months ago today I lost my mother
The 22nd of each month is a painful anniversary and now it will be my first Christmas without her. My daughter's 5th birthday is Dec. 26th and it will be her first birthday without "Grandma Fifi," her favorite person in the world.
Life goes on for everyone, but not for me. I can't imagine her not being here with me, sharing everything with me. I didn't believe it was possible to feel so alone, so alone, even though I am lucky enough to have wonderful loved ones. My mother, my stepfather, my 15 yr old dog - all gone within 3 years. And my father died a week after my mother.
And now I'm expected to act happy and celebrate Xmas with a bunch of strangers - my husband's family, very nice people but they'll never be family like my mother and stepfather were. All those celebrations in the past are supposed to be swept aside so I can start over but I don't WANT to start over without her. I would give anything to have her back, healthy and whole, with her big Stonehenge teeth and E.T. fingers and sarcastic comments. She and I both found the Christmas season and lack of sunlight depressing - but at least we shared our depression together and had each other and could make each other laugh. Now I'm the last Scrooge standing and I can't ruin everyone's fun by remembering last Christmas and how my mom's eyes started turning yellow that day and I knew it was a very bad sign. She said she was proud of herself for forcing herself to go Christmas shopping, but she had to get something for her kids and granddaughter since it was her last Christmas. And we all told her that it wouldn't be her last Xmas, and I was the only one who really knew that it would be.
My mom and I had such a deep connection that we used to share the same dreams. I was having a series of nightmares when I was in my 20's and she told me I should try to control them with the force of my mind, but I couldn't do it like she could. Then, one night, I didn't have any nightmares and she told me SHE had a dream that turned into a nightmare, and she told the monster in the dream, "You're the monster that's been terrorizing my daughter in her sleep - get lost!!" And I didn't have the nightmares anymore.
Who else in your life can enter your nightmares for you and banish them? How can you ever get over such a loss?
I'm not looking for an answer, I just needed to write some of my feelings down. There ARE no answers, anyway - just this blank void.

text: Woodbridge-area rezoning tabled By Jim Balow December 5, 2012 Story Share Kenny Kemp A sign posted near the Cannady Tract, adjacent to Woodbridge subdivision, announces the public hearing held Wednesday at which Woodbridge residents tried to block construction of more than 100 duplex units. Kenny Kemp Residents of the single-family homes in the 30-year-old Woodbridge subdivision hope to force owners of an adjacent site to develop homes there in a similar way through rezoning. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- About 100 residents of the Woodbridge subdivision left the Municipal Planning Commission meeting somewhat dissatisfied Wednesday after board members tabled their attempt to block a proposed townhouse development nearby.The group, led by neighbor and City Council member Shannon Snodgrass, have asked the city to rezone a 95-acre site known as the Cannady Tract from R-6 (medium density residential) to R-4 (single family residential). The rezoning would prevent developer Allen Bell from building up to 120 duplex units -- 240 homes -- on the property, which lies adjacent to Woodbridge.More than 270 residents from the 240 to 250 single-family homes in Woodbridge signed petitions in favor of the rezoning request, said Snodgrass. She held a community meeting at Ruffner Elementary School about a month ago after learning about the proposed project.City Planning Director Dan Vriendt said he needed more time to study the issue before he could make a recommendation to the commission."As far back as I could see, we've never had a rezoning [request] brought by someone other than the property owner," Vriendt said. "It's very unusual. There are a lot of legal issues involved."The city is also in the midst of writing a new comprehensive plan, which will include a new land-use plan, Vriendt said, and he wants to check with consultants on how the rezoning might fit with those plans.Although the commission tabled the rezoning, chairman Gerry Workman let residents in the standing-room-only crowd comment about the proposal.Lawyer Elliot Hicks said the new homes would overburden roads, schools and sewage systems. Rezoning to R-4 "would allow single-family housing, and wouldn't provide the same burden on the infrastructure as R-6," he said.Woodbridge is one of the largest neighborhoods in Charleston, Snodgrass said. "[The Cannady Tract] is the last undeveloped property and should be developed in the same pattern. The loss of value to our homes has been estimated at 30 percent."Ray Lovejoy, an attorney for the Cannady Tract owners, said the heirs of former owner Allen Thompson are not unsympathetic. "It comes back to property rights," Lovejoy said. "We have a piece of property zoned a certain way. I think it goes against the American way to tell another person what to do with their property.""What we have is the NIMBY syndrome -- not in my backyard," he said with an increasingly hostile crowd behind him. "On the face of it, that's discrimination."While action on the rezoning request will wait at least a month, city officials are studying Bell's subdivision application, which the Planning Commission will also consider. Bell will have to provide detailed sewage and storm-water plans, and city engineers will weigh traffic issues, Vriendt said.Later, Snodgrass sounded satisfied with the commission's decision. "The good news is they didn't turn it down," she said.People who bought homes in Woodbridge always figured the Cannady property would be developed in a similar manner, with single-family homes, Snodgrass said. "It needs to fit. Nobody would object to single-family. It doesn't make sense to make 400 residents sit back and tolerate that."In other business Wednesday, Planning Commission members approved:* Preliminary site plans for six more developable lots on Yorkshire Drive, off Nottingham Road in Sherwood Forest.* Major Development of Significant Impact plans for CAMC's proposed cancer center at the former Watt Powell ballpark site at 3415 MacCorkle Avenue.Reach Jim Balow at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-5102.

THE number of Winchester city councillors should be cut from 57 to 45, the cabinet heard.
A report proposes 45 members, down 12, the biggest revamp in decades.
It follows the decision in April to retain the three-member wards and the electoral cycle of thirds.
The Local Government Boundary Commissions is beginning its review next month.
With fewer councillors the size of wards is set to increase although exactly how is currently unclear.
Cllr Stephen Godfrey, portfolio holder for finance, said; "Hopefully the changes will be more efficient and better for Winchester. It will require the role of councillor to change. The same amount of work but with fewer councillors."
Twelve fewer councillors would save around £75,000 a year, a report to cabinet said.
The full meeting of Council on July 16 will make the decision.
There will be elections in 2015; an all-out election in 2016; county council elections in 2017 and elections by thirds.
The councillors elected with the lowest votes in 2016 will come up for re-election first.
The commissions will consult from August 26 to November 3 with draft recommendations produced for early February 2015.
Cllr Angela Clear, for the Liberal Democrats, said her group believe the number should be 48 not 45. "If wards become bigger, with fewer councillors that could result in poorer representation," she warned.

Topic: Looking for other Veterans with CC
Hello everyone - This is my first time on this website, read many of your entries and can't believe how many of you (young with small children, to the older crowd) and their families are dealing with this terrible disease! I am just thankful that we have found this website and all of you! Our purpose for joining is knowledge and information is POWERFUL! We are searching for other Vietnam Vets that were exposed to Agent Orange or radiation that have this dreadful disease and are now fighting for compensation from the VA. This disease is service connected by the VA for "ionizing radiation" exposure. It is a battle for Agent Orange exposure.
My husband, Phil, 62 years young (but worked liked he was 30), spent 20 years in the Air Force and did 2 stints in Vietnam, a wonderful, loving, happy and grumpy in a good way, little grey hair guy, was diagnosed with Cholangiocarcinoma on March 30, 2006.
He began feeling sick back in 2/06, flu like symptoms, loss of appetite, fatigued, a slight pain in his side and a little weight loss. March 6-22 he went back and forth to the doctor for blood work and tests. March 23 the jaundice started. Admitted to the hospital, CT scan. 3/24 ERCP was done. Gastro dr tried twice to place stent but was unable to pass through the stricture. She was clearly disappointed. 3/27 Radiologist put a drainage tube through Phil's liver to drain the bile and bag to collect the bile on the outside of his body. MRI done. He was in so much pain and sick: it was the worst thing I have ever witnessed. 3/30 Dr's tell us it is Cholangiocarcinoma. The only chance for cure is surgery, but we need an experienced surgeon. Gastro dr talks with a dr in Topeka, Kansas, Dr. James Hamilton (we HIGHLY recommend Dr. Hamilton; he has performed nearly 100 surgeries of this type (only had 2 death) and his assistant surgeon, Dr. Alley). 11 days in the hospital, still in excruciating pain. 4/3 released to go home so we could go to Topeka the next morning for consult with a surgeon. 4/4 WONDERFUL, GREAT NEWS! Dr. Hamilton says that the tumor is resectable!!! Thank the Lord!! 4/12 Whipple operation is performed: Phil cancer is in the distal common bile duct, into the head of the pancreas. Dr. Hamilton removes the common bile duct, gall bladder, duodenum and the head of the pancreas. Surgery was SUCCESSFUL!! Now the long road for a full recovery. 24 nodes were taken - 3 tested positive, so chemo is recommended as a precautionary measure.
5/17 to 6/14/06 Four rounds of Gemcitabine (Gemzar) was all that Phil could handle. He became terribly ill after each treatment, extreme fatigue, could not eat or drink (I was able to give him tube feedings (it was left in for this reason) when he was so sick, but that made him bloated, very uncomfortable and nauseated, broke out in rash on chest, arms, legs and neck, pain in his right eye to mention a few. Now that he has been off the chemo and taking Prednisone (eating us out of house & home now) for a month, he has gained 10 pounds and is feeling better each day. I thank God for each day and every minute we have together, even the rough times; he's still here and still FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE!! Never give up the fight. There is always hope and miracles everyday. All the doctors have told us that they didn't think Phil would even make it through the surgery, he was that close to death, but he did! We will go to Radiation Oncologist, Dr. Stephen Smalley (world renowned for stomach cancer to name a few) on 8/7 to see if he thinks we need to do radiation.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you with God's blessings to all!
Mrs. Philly Willy (Barb)

Today, the so-called US "justice" system found all ten of the "Irvine 11" Muslim students "guilty" on misdemeanor charges of conspiring to disrupt and then disrupting a speech delivered by Israeli ambassador Michael Oren at the University of California, Irvine in February 2010. Two days ago, Troy Davis, a black man accused of killing a white police officer, was murdered by the State of Georgia, despite the overwhelming doubt surrounding his guilt. A day later, activists highlighted on a 2008 case where a white man and confessed murderer named Samuel David Crowe was pardoned by the same Georgia Parole Board only hours before his scheduled execution. I am utterly disgusted by the racism evident in these cases.
Some are saying these are sad days for the American "justice" system, but the disturbing reality is that racialized and economically disadvantaged people are constantly targeted and victimized by the system. According to a 2009 report released by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), black men had an incarceration rate of 4,749 inmates per 100,000 US residents, a rate more than six times higher than white men (1,822 inmates per 100,000 US residents). Black women, with an incarceration rate of 333 per 100,000, were over 3.6 times more likely to have been in prison than white women. Amnesty International research, as reported by Colorlines, shows that death sentences are more likely to be handed out when victims are white. This repulsive racist double-standard can be seen in the 2009 murder of Oscar Grant, where a white cop, Johaness Mehserle, shot an unarmed black man and only served less than one year in prison.
In the Irvine 11 case, the horrible criminalization of these students only occurred because they were Muslim. The Islamophobia engrained in mainstream American politics, media, and society only creates a larger obstacle for the students who were non-violently protesting and speaking out against something the US President never dares to do: Israel's war crimes, genocide, and sexual violence against Palestinians. Sami Kishawi of "Sixteen Minutes to Palestine" contends that another verdict was reached in the Irvine 11 case:
The court's decision complements traditional American policy towards Israel and its supporters. The excuse that Israel is forever under existential threat has embedded itself within the framework of the Constitution of the United States. First Amendment rights are no longer guaranteed if an individual is tried for being on the wrong side: for not supporting Israel's policies in the Middle East, its occupation, its abandonment of the most fundamental form of justice, or its perception of public nonviolent dissent as institutionalized death-wishing festivities. So in a very obvious sense, the verdict is that Israel's interests stand above the right to express, to speak, to engage, and to openly challenge the injustices confirmed by Oren's words.
It would be a terrible mistake to overlook the connection between US-Israel complicity in the violence committed against Palestinians and the way Muslims, Arabs, South Asians, and others are demonized and discriminated against in the United States. Defending the rights of Muslims in the United States is intertwined with the struggle against the war machine that needs propaganda, racism, and sexism to fuel and justify its imperialist projects. White supremacy makes it awfully challenging for the white non-Muslim mainstream to identify with the Muslim students who protested Michael Oren's speech, regardless of how courageous and admirable they are. Israel, Michael Oren, and the Zionist supporters are the white heroes in this masculinist narrative, where they are depicted as "victims" of the "dark" and "barbaric" invaders. They've asserted themselves as upholders of "democracy," freedom, and equal rights for all, especially for women, whereas the "dark" male villain is the over-sexed, savage, and destructive one. Through racialization, the Muslim, no matter how outnumbered or oppressed, is cast as the "dark Other" who is the mortal enemy of the white hero. As bell hooks describes:
The notion, originally from myth and fable, is that the summit of masculinity – the 'white hero' – achieves his manhood, first and foremost, by winning victory over the 'dark beast' over the barbarian beasts of other – in some sense 'darker' – races, nations and social castes… In our actual lives the imperialist white-supremacist policies of our government lead to enactments of rituals of white-male violent domination of a darker universe, as in both the Gulf War and the most recent war against Iraq. By making it appear that the threatening masculinity – the rapist, the terrorist, the murderer – is really a dark other, white male patriarchs are able to deflect attention away from their own misogyny, from their violence against women and children.
When the entire Muslim community is demonized, the Irvine 11 students are not seen as human beings. Their "foreign" cultures and religion are "backwards" and "oppressive," and the only hope they have is for western imperial masculinity to "liberate" them and force them to "assimilate." They are "foreign" bodies from societies that behead, torture, veil, molest, and rape men and women, whereas western society is "civilized," "liberating," and "free." Concealed from this racist socialization is the way Israel and the United States constantly carries out bombing, murder, sexual violence, and economic exploitation against racialized bodies outside and within their borders. Consider Anushay Hossain's point about the way Afghan women are used as "emotional tools" in US propaganda to justify its military invasion and occupation of Afghanistan. The US claim is to "liberate," but there is nothing liberating about bombing, shooting, and raping Afghan women.
The point here is that US and Israeli war crimes are tied to their domestic State violence and corrupt "justice" systems. If nations are willing to mercilessly and shamelessly kill, torture, and rape other human beings around the world, then what's to stop them from targeting their "own" citizens? What's sad and quite unsettling about Troy Davis' case is that he was not a victim of an "unfortunate mistake" nor was his unjust execution an "isolated incident." The problem is with the so-called criminal "justice" system itself. Racialized communities, particularly Native and African American communities, have been long victimized by police brutality and other forms of State violence that is ignored, dismissed, and/or sanctioned by the criminal "justice" system. Troy Davis himself pointed this out in his message to supporters:
There are so many more Troy Davis'. This fight to end the death penalty is not won or lost through me but through our strength to move forward and save every innocent person in captivity around the globe. We need to dismantle this unjust system city by city, state by state and country by country.
Indigenous women in particular have long fought and still fight the "justice" system's complicity in the injustice they face. As pointed out by Andrea Smith, Native anti-violence advocates have reported that rape cases rarely reach the federal courts. Smith elaborates further:
Complicating matters, cases involving rapes on tribal land were generally handed to the local US attorney, who then declined to prosecute the vast majority of cases. By the time tribal law enforcement programs even see rape cases, a year may have passed since the assault, making it difficult for these programs to prosecute.
Smith also talks about the negative reputation police officers have in Native communities due to countless cases of police brutality. When law enforcement and "justice" systems are not only suspect of communities of color, but also violent, discriminatory, racist, and sexist against them, how does it expect to build trust? I already mentioned the NYPD and CIA infiltrating and spying on Muslim communities in my previous post. The injustices we have seen in this week, as well as the oppression we are being informed about by brothers and sisters in other communities, should prompt us to challenge the criminal "justice" system. When cases for Troy Davis, Irvine 11, and others are fought, it is not only a fight against their injustices, but also against the racism, sexism, classism, ableism, etc. that infects the system and society at large. Andrea Smith proposes restorative justice efforts which "involve parties (perpetrators, victims, and community members) in determining the appropriate response to a crime in an effort to restore the community to wholeness."
While I am saddened, disturbed, and angry by the injustice this week, I took a moment to think about all of the people who went out to demonstrate, to protest, to support, to Love, to cry, and to pray. As I checked the updates on my phone from work, I saw that other people were doing the same. I noticed all of the people on my Facebook posting status updates and messages of support for Troy Davis and Irvine 11. When I saw pictures or read reports of people crying after the unjust verdicts, I cried too. It is that longing and drive for justice that connects us. The solidarity is heartening and to know that other people feel the same way is important. To know that these people and your friends will always fight is important.
May Allah, the Most High and Compassionate, help us unite our struggles and grant us all justice.

About Me
- About Frank Whiton
- Biography
- I started fishing with a fly rod in 1947 when I was 12 years old. During my teen years I worked in a fly shop and back packed all over the California high Sierras. I struggled for several years with my casting until I spent one day at the casting club at the San Francisco Golden Gate Park. That one day watching some really good casters and a few hints from them really turned my casting around. When I was about 19 years old I started making my own weight forward fly lines from double taper fly lines. I have lived and fished in most of the good places in the lower 48 states and Alaska. I have fly fished in Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Montana, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. I lived and fished in Alaska from 1974 to 1989. I have my private pilots license and have flown most of Alaska. In 1974 I stated tying flies and still tie today but not very often. I have used a pontoon boat since they first came available and it is my favorite way to trout fish. My favorite fishing is big water fishing for trout, steelhead and salmon.

Pink Floyd used to be your escort to the dark side of the moon. Now it's Moby. The electropop star scored SonicVision, the new multimedia show at the Hayden Planetarium in New York. "I'm a geek who grew up obsessed with outer space," says Moby. "The only problem was, I wasn't bright enough to be a scientist." His hit "We Are All Made of Stars," along with tunes by Radiohead, Stereolab, the Flaming Lips, and others, accompany the 35-minute animated movie that takes visitors through an observatory's ceiling and into an alien dance party. Seven projectors beam the film onto the Hayden's 68-foot-tall dome while 23 speakers provide a visceral kick. Strap on the jet boosters – it's time to get your groove on.

There were no injuries, but a fire damaged several vehicles inside and outside of Woodward Auto at 3365 Highland Road Sunday afternoon.
Highland Township Assistant Fire Chief Richard Cole said the fire is believed to have been caused by an electrical fire in a vehicle used for snow removal and is still being investigated. The electrical fire is believed to have then spread to the building.
Cole said the fire was reported shortly after 2 p.m. and was extinguished within the hour. He said firefighters left the scene at 4:15 p.m.
Cole estimated a dozen vehicles were damaged inside the building in addition to three outside, where the department believes the fire originated in the front end of a 2002 Ford pickup used for snow removal.
The vehicle had been parked outside the building for about an hour, Cole estimated, after being used by an employee.
The fire remains under investigation.

Soon to be an amputee
I am a 53 yr. old grandma. I had a TKR in 2002 and lost my knee to MRSA in 7/06. Apparently I am a carrier of MRSA and I have gotten it 7 times since 2002 when I had a RGB. Any foreign object that is implanted in my body is eventually taken out because of MRSA attacking it. I have chronic pain now where my knee used to be. I am in a mobility chair and use a walker to get into the bathroom and tight places. For every day that I am up, I am down 3 days . I am starting to get depressed. I run into doors and everything else and I get so frustrated. I was very active before I went down and now I can`t do anything unless I take a couple of pain pills. If I don`t take anything, I cry all day and I can`t do my exercises or anything. My vasular surgeon has agreed to amputate my leg. I`m not sure if it will be a through the knee or above the knee. My question is - Is there any other option out there? I am not a good candidate for another knee and I want to walk. I want to play with my grandkids. If I`m stuck in a wheelchair for the rest of my life, I`m afraid depression will get the best of me. I am usually a very strong-willed person but being in a chair for the rest of my life is not me. I feel if I can rehabilitate and walk on a prostheisis. Am I making thr best decision?
You state that you are not a good candidate to receive another total knee prosthesis, but does that mean you are NOT a candidate? Assuming you received several weeks of antibiotics after your prosthesis was removed, if complete absence of any remaining infection can be confirmed, implantation of a second knee prosthesis, possibly using antibiotic-impregnated cement, may be an option, depending on the condition of your remaining bones.
Long term "suppressive" antibiotic therapy may or may not then be implemented, also. You should verify with your orthopedist whether or not another total knee prosthesis is out of the question, and also consider getting a second opinion from another orthopedist who specializes in revision ("re-do") arthroplasty.
If another total knee arthroplasty is not an option, a knee fusion may or may not be appropriate in your case... again, you are advised to discuss whether knee fusion is an option for you with one or more orthopedists. This option may be preferable to amputation if you still have full sensation, strength, and range of motion of your ankle and foot on that side.
If you are not a candidate for either another knee replacement nor for a knee fusion, weightbearing on the leg from which your knee prosthesis was removed isn't really an option, but despite this, you may have the option of walking on your good leg using crutches or a walker for shorter distances, with a wheelchair being more functional for longer distances, and your pain may well become adequately controlled by working with a physician who specializes in Pain Management.
Since amputation would not be guaranteed to rid you of your pain symptoms, you'll need to keep this in mind as you come to a decision about what you're going to do. Amputation could always be performed later if another knee replacement - and/or a knee fusion - was done but didn't work out for whatever reason. If you end up undergoing an amputation, the level of amputation would not actually be "through the knee," since you mentioned your knee was previously replaced, and then this knee prosthesis had to be removed. Regardless, there are a greater number of prosthetic component options for an "above-knee" - compared to those for a "through-knee" - amputee.
If your arms and other leg are without problems, and being a strong-willed person, you needn't be concerned about being "stuck in a wheelchair" for the rest of your life.

My daughter (7 year old with no prior medical or learning
disabilities) was diagnosed with Absence seizures three months ago. Since that time, she has tried multiple
medications. Currently she is on
Depakote and Topamax. Her seizures were
as frequent as every 3 minutes. Now, they are currently every 25 minutes or
so. The meds have improved her frequency
but she often seems spacey, tired and
less likely to listen and follow through on requests/directions. A family member stated that she is getting "spoiled"
but I disagree. I believe many of the
issues are medication related but have no way to prove it. Her handwriting is different when she is "spacey"
and her private teacher (currently out of school until better seizure control)
stated that teaching after she started the Topamax was "like teaching a
different kid".
I am concerned about the negative effects of the meds and if
they "really get better over time". I am
followed by the Hopkins Group and was asked if I wanted to try Ketogenic
diet. I declined and stated I wanted to
see how she did on this med combo and then make a decision. I have several more
weeks to we reach the optimum doses. Now
I am concerned that maybe I should attempt the Keto Diet first to see if the
seizures can be controlled without meds.
Then I can tell if the issues are med related.
My question is : Have
you treated your child with Absence Seizures or Petite Mals with Ketogenic diet? Did it work? Would you do it again? Did you have fewer side effects from the diet
than from the meds?

Good I am glad
You know how classy I am
Ah soso pal, you??
Hi btw Hug
I think that's enough fuel added to your thread by me I'll allow the masses to strike the match now Ha!
Ha! Cheers chief.
I know, right? I'm sure he would have liked that one lol
Yeah I get you bro, totally. It's a shame. It is what it is now though, I'm afraid. Occasionally some conversation goes on, some days there's nothing. It's basically like watching Arsenal and being a fan of them. One day it's decent.. another day you wonder why you bother
I decided against leaving- I couldn't be bothered with the hassle and the feeling of starting again to be honest with you Ha! So it was either stay, or be done with wrestling forums full stop. Flipped a coin and decided to stay.
Yeah I'm well man, thanks for asking
So.. The old man returns Hope you are well mate, how's life treating you?
I have to marry another few hubbys to get shoes
I have clothes that are just as good
I am a shoe hoarder lol

Mouth Diseases
Yellow Bumps on Left Side of Tongue
I can`t seem to find any pictures to match my condition. I have yellow bumps on the side of my tongue in the back(kinda hard to see in the mirror) Any suggestions on what to look at?
The tongue has multiple papilla scattered on the tongue:
Except for the filliform papillae, all of the other papilla contain taste buds. The morphology varies from finge like projections (filliform and fungiform), to dome shaped knobs (valate), and the follate that appear as vertical folds (fin-like) on the lateral border of the tongue.
- filliform and fungiform; dorsum of the tongue
- follate; posterior lateral aspect of the tongue and
- valate; posterior dorsum of tongue
The papilla are covered by keratinized epithelium, and in some cases can pick up extrinsic stain (coffee, tea, smoke, dyes from food, etc.) and appear yellow, black, orange, red or purple. I would suggest that if you are concerned that you have your dentist or primary care provider evaluate this problem. Otherwise brushing your tongue with a toothbrush should decrease the pronounced yellow bumps you are describing. As an aside while you are looking this up on the web check out the images for "Lingual Pappilla" "Follate Pappilla,"Valate Pappilla".
