Cross-Strait Flights Begin Tomorrow: We're All Rich!
Cross-strait flights. Tomorrow everything will be okay because...you know...cross-strait flights. Chinese tourists casually throwing around money like the cellophane from their cigarette packs. The initial daily limit of Chinese tourists is 3,000, increasing to 10,000 in 4 years. Tomorrow will only see 687 tourists arriving (90 of which are either officials or journalists).
The Taipei Times devotes its entire second page to Cross-Strait Flights! Four world-class articles and a picture of police practicing handling mock demonstrators sitting in front of a poster-sized picture of CKS Hall. I'd definitely buy that for a dollar!
- Staff reporters Mo Yan-Chih and Jimmy Chuang report on Independent Taipei City Councilor Chen Chien-ming's (陳建銘) concern about the authorities being able to track down Chinese tourists who break the law by doing things such as spitting or throwing cigarette butts in public places. I did have a whole load of crap to say about this, but will let Councilor Chen's following load of crap suffice.
"The city government should conduct assessments on all the possible impacts of Chinese tourists. I call upon the city government to set up regulations to handle violations made by Chinese tourists."
- Under the headline "Hoteliers bracing for Chinese tourists and culture shock," Ralph Jennings, Reuters, Taipei, Grand Hyatt Taipei, 11th floor, has this to say,
Taiwan citizens, who are influenced heavily by hyper-polite Japan, fear Chinese will yell, spit or cut in on queues, all of which are an anathema to many Taiwanese.
What? He is in Taiwan, right? Not Thailand?
Marriage saving addendum: After showing this to my wife (and ducking) I explained to her that I agreed in part but there is still room for improvement. Taiwanese have also shown themselves to adapt very quickly from terrible practices to near-trendsetters. Now I can sleep with both eyes closed tonight.
Mr. Jennings also states that Chinese, unlike the Taiwanese, will also haggle on the prices of small purchases, merchants at tourist hotspots say.
Well that may be so. But isn't that like debating the merits of absolute zero versus -300F?
- Lastly a combination from Shih Hsiu-Chuan and Shelley Shan.
Let's start with this from Premier Liu Chao-shiuan (劉兆玄).
He said yesterday the government would not remove signs representing the country because of the arrival of Chinese tourists, adding, however, that it could not force the private sector to act against its will.
Wow, this guy either has a pair or he forgot that his boss, Mr. President Ma, did just that when he was mayor of Taipei and pulled the ROC flag for the Olympic flag while also displaying the Chinese flag.
Look at the second part of the statement about not forcing the private sector to act against its will. In regard to the cross-strait flights, Taiwanese and Chinese airlines were supposed to be allowed to choose the airports they would like to fly in and out of. They both chose only two - Taoyuan International and Songshan in Taipei. And then, government acts.
After a complaint from Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chu (陳菊), however, the Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA) asked Uni Air for one round-trip flight between Kaohsiung and Guangzhou tomorrow.
TransAsia Airways would probably not have considered flying to the east coast if it were not for Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Legislator Fu Kun-chi's (傅崑萁) willingness to pay for a charter flight between Hualien and Xiamen. ( At least she's footing the bill.)
The Taichung City Government also managed to have a Mandarin Airlines flight leave from Chingchuankang Airport (in Taichung) to Xiamen, although the return flight will land at Magong in Penghu County. Mayor Hu 萬 歲 !
Well, the government has definitely done their part. What are you going to do to make sure you get a piece of the pie?

HerstoriesCafe bridges women's history with local history. We start conversations between history enthusiasts, historians, archivists, museum practitioners, history teachers, and students.
We provide a much-needed forum for those who are passionate about promoting women's history and want to feel connected to a larger community of like-minded people.
Think of it as a salon: a place to share ideas, pool historical resources, and stimulate debate in an intimate and relaxed setting.
Our speakers cover a wide range of topics but are united in their interest in women's stories. Cafe talks are located throughout the city of Toronto, in places historically relevant to the evening's topic, and often include an on-site historical walking tour. HerstoriesCafe is also committed to supporting all things local: speakers will emphasize local women's histories in particular, and talks will be held at small local cafes and support local business venues whenever possible.
HerstoriesCafe was created by Dr. Rose Fine-Meyer and Dr. Kate Zankowicz.

To say that I'm bullish on the prospects of Apple's new App Store for the iPhone and iPod Touch is putting it mildly. That said, there are plenty of apps out there that either border on useless or seem to redefine wacky. Or both.
Here are some of the latest:
Picture this: A blank gray screen with a giant button that reads "Wooo!" in the middle. You click the button and it says "Wooo!" That is the entire app. The description reads: "This one won't get old. I promise." You should probably take their word for it.
Price: Free
Using the iPhone 3G's GPS chip, it tells you how fast you are going in MPH or KM/H. I guess this might be cool if you're on a boat or train, but if you're in a car, hopefully you have one of these nifty devices in your dashboard already.
Price: Free
I have no doubt that this will actually be a popular app. It searches Flickr for images tagged with LOLCAT or LOLCATS and puts them on your screen. I'd prefer one for LOLICAHN.
Price: Free.
You can now use your iPhone or iPod Touch to help you give birth. A stop watch function records the time between labor contractions. Now, I'm not a woman, but this strikes me as a tad bit odd. And why is this not called the obvious iBirth?
Price: $4.99
The description says it's a "genuine picture of wood." Oh that's rich…rich mahogany (see the video below). You tap it to bring you good luck.

Purchased these replacements for my 2004 jeep wrangler, got the parts a few days later. These drums look almost better than the factory drums and the cost for the new drums were only a few dollars more than what it would have cost to resurface the old ones. New is the way to go, once I get these babies painted they will get installed along with the new shoes and springs I also purchased, just need to find a nice warm garage to work in now.

Categories: Former Governor Jack Markell (2009-2017) News Office of the Governor
More than $1 million in grant funding to support schools offering intensive training and credentials in key industries
Newark, DE – School districts will have access to programs that prepare high school students to thrive in growing industries under a statewide effort announced by Governor Markell today. Initially previewed in the Governor's State of the State address, the Pathways to Prosperity initiative will establish partnerships with Delaware employers, universities, and school districts to prepare students for a bright future in high-demand fields and careers. Markell said the state is dedicating more than $1 million of its federal career and technical education funding over the next year to offer school districts grants to defray the cost of providing these programs.
Through this effort, students will take hundreds of hours of specialized instruction and hands-on training. They will have the opportunity to graduate with industry-recognized certificates and with college credits for courses that are most relevant to those industries, giving them a head start on getting a job and earning a degree.
"Today, we take an important step toward ensuring that Delaware will be one of those places where students of today and of generations to come will enter the workforce fully armed with the skills to compete for good jobs, develop new innovations, and make the most of their extraordinary talents," said Markell, who thanked business leaders, including Delaware Workforce Investment Board Chair and Delmarva Power President Gary Stockbridge, for their commitment to offering Delaware students the most relevant training.
The Governor spoke at the Delmarva Power Conference Center where leaders from the business and education community gathered at a Pathways to Prosperity Conference. School district representatives had the opportunity to ask questions of industry leaders, college representatives, and government officials about the process of starting these programs.
The co-leader of the national Pathways to Prosperity Network at Harvard University, Bob Schwartz, also spoke about national and state workforce needs and the importance of more opportunities like these for students to find a path to a successful career in industries with many available jobs.
"We have long known that educational attainment is tied to career success," said Schwartz. "What's different now is that it's no longer simply about how much education you get, but specifically whether you are learning the right skills. The types of career and technical education programs we're discussing today are increasingly valuable."
Program Details
This fall, the state will launch pathways statewide in information technology and computer science in partnership with code.org, as well as in the culinary arts and hospitality industries in partnership with the Delaware Restaurant Association. The following year, the Department of Education will expand the network to include two more of the state's fastest growing industries – financial services and healthcare.
Markell said the state is already seeing that this model can work when employers work with education leaders to develop the programs. He cited the manufacturing pathway started last fall when Colonial and New Castle County Vo-tech School Districts partnered with Delaware Tech and the Delaware Manufacturing Association. More than 30 juniors in New Castle County are spending part of each week at Delaware Tech. They learn math and other skills most important for that industry and work with equipment. Those students are already making great progress and, this summer, they'll get paid internships at Delaware companies like Agilent Technologies, PPG, Kuehne and Siemens.
"The manufacturing program has demonstrated the power of partnering our business community and college with school districts to create a curriculum that engages students in learning skills most valued in the economy," said Delaware Tech President Mark Brainard. "Delaware Tech has an important role in these efforts given our work with industry to shape our course offerings. We look forward to taking part in other pathways so that students in more fields receive the most beneficial classroom instruction and hands-on training opportunities to prepare them for jobs in growing industries."
Markell announced today that the Department of Education is making available more than $500,000 this spring to support school districts that adopt these programs. An additional $500,000 will be make available in the fall to fund programs for the following school year. Districts will be able to use that funding in a variety of ways to support students and staff, and to provide the services and materials required to offer courses and hands-on training opportunities.
The Department is providing curriculum support for each pathway program and has secured articulation agreements with Delaware colleges to ensure that students who complete a program will be eligible for college credit at one or more institutions of higher education.
The second half of today's conference is focused on giving school district representatives the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the individual programs. More information on each program and funding applications for districts are available on the Department of Education's website at http://dedoe.schoolwires.net/Page/293.
"As our world is transformed by new technology, jobs of the past are now outsourced to other countries or handled by machines. However, incredible opportunities exist for those who can use that technology and for those whose abilities fit with the changing needs of growing industries," said Markell. "Every Delaware student must have access to an education that best prepares him or her for this new era. That's why we are here today."

Live Below the Line is a global fundraiser through the Global Poverty Project. It's a challenging and meaningful experience that's about more than hunger: it's about the lack of choice and opportunity faced by people living in extreme poverty around the world, including the children AFCA serves, who are infected and/or affected by AIDS.
From April 27 – May 1, 2015, participants will spend only $1.50 (the equivalent of the extreme poverty line) per day on food and drink for 5 days in order to help those who face hunger and to empathize with those who lack food.
Ready to join the LBL Challenge?
You can do one of various things to participate in LBL to benefit our kids:
- Eat and drink on no more than $1.50 per day for 1-5 days. Saved money gets donated to AFCA through your fundraising page
- Ask people to pledge towards your efforts to eat and drink on no more than $1.50 per day for 1-5 days through your fundraising page
- Host an LBL party where you serve a meal that costs no more than the allowance per person. Let them know the reason you are participating in LBL and ask them to support your efforts to feed others
- Simply write a check to AFCA or donate online and don't change your eating habits

The three-hour question and answer session in front of MEPs will put Lady Ashton on the spot over her knowledge of foreign, defence and security policy.
She failed to convince the European Parliament during an appearance in December when she fluffed or fudged her answers on key aspects of foreign policy.
Lady Ashton was the surprise nomination for the job of High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, a post created under the EU's Lisbon Treaty.
She is also a vice president of the European Commission.
The Baroness, who has never held elected public office, has already been criticised for failing to stamp her authority on the EU foreign minister post.
Following the introduction of the Lisbon Treaty, a turf war has broken out between commission officials and diplomats over control of foreign policy, a development that alarmed many national governments.
"Ashton is not a strong figure and her weakness is allowing the commission to empire build - which was not the idea behind her post," said one diplomat.
Despite being instructed to set up an independent EU diplomatic service, the European External Action Service (EEAS), Lady Ashton has based her office in the Brussels executive's HQ and most of her key advisers are commission officials.
During meetings of Europe's foreign ministers, which she is supposed to chair, the Labour life peer has failed to take the lead from the EU's rotating national presidency, currently held by Spain.
Her background in the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament has also highlighted her lack of military experience for a job with an important defence aspect of overseeing EU security policy in countries such as Afghanistan.
Lady Ashton was appointed as the fourth choice after David Miliband, Lord Mandelson and Geoff Hoon, who are all senior acting, or former, Cabinet ministers in Britain.
"The taste of sour grapes stemming from Cathy Ashton's appointment continues to linger," said Richard Howitt, a Labour MEP. "It is no secret that other people wanted this job, and Cathy Ashton must prove for once and for all, that this position is hers by right."
Lady Ashton is first of 26 European Commissioners to have a hearing in the parliament. In the past MEPs have rejected "designate" commissioners.

Dio's first full-length live album in 15 years time and what a dissapointment it turned out to be.
First off there is the incredibely bad timing - this album is recorded on the tour for what must be the weakest Dio album in history ("Angry Machines") and with a guitarplayer whose style is largely incompatible with most of Dio's old material (not to mention the Rainbow and Sabbath tracks).
Then there is the setlist - which passes up on no less than 3 complete albums and mainly consists of "Holy Diver" and Rainbow / Sabbath tracks, totalling 10 tracks out of 15 (not counting intro and solo's) which imo opinion is a complete disgrace - i'm sure plenty of fans would have rather heard "Dream Evil", "Evil eyes", "Sacred Heart", "Lock up The Wolves" or "Born On The Sun" than for example a "Mistreated" or "Long Live Rock & Roll".
However it has to be said that the album isn't complete trash - the production is well above average, and like always, Dio's singing is top notch. It's just a shame that this album could have been so much more than what it actually turned out to be - as it stands it's just an above average record, only intended for die-hard fans of the band.

The Possible Effects of Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) on Turkish Economy
Due to the World Trade Organization's (WTO) deadlocked multilateral trade negotiations, many countries have started to establish Free Trade Agreements (FTA). In this context, the European Union (EU) and the United States (US) have decided to establish bilateral Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). This note focuses on the impacts of this partnership on Turkish economy. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to analytically analyze the economic impacts of the TTIP on Turkey by differentiating according to Turkey's inclusion in and exclusion from the TTIP. By using Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) database and a general equilibrium model, the effects of various scenarios on GDP is studied within the framework of four-regional-consolidation, the EU, the U.S., Turkey and rest of the world. Obtained results show that Turkey could be in a gain of 35 billion USD if Turkey is included in TTIP compared to if she is excluded from the TTIP. Moreover, Turkey's inclusion in TTIP is not only in favor of Turkey but also in favor of the EU and the USA in terms of higher GDP growth rates.

Ryan Frenchwrote a review of KUHL Rydr Pant - Men's on June 13, 2011
Great pants, great fit
Love these pants and have bought the same pants second time around. Wore these pants almost exclusively on a 8-day trip to Alaska.
I am usually a 38x32 but strongly suggest buying the 30's since these pants run long. With a little stretch built it, these pants are very comfortable and durable.....can't be beat!

Wow actual players running around on grass football news.
How exciting.
Great news, my favorite read was the Antonio Smith lines. I had my reservations about how he might have been received, given that he his one of our highest paid players and is new to the team while other guys on the team want to get paid too, but it looks like that wasn't even a thought amongst players.

Amazing history, thank you for sharing.
Lots of soldiers patrolled the walls every minute of the day and night and had everything ready if the castle should be attacked. Those times were very unfriendly, Denmark and Sweden were fighting for several hundred years and Oeland was one of the places which was first Swedish, then Danish, then Swedish etc. That is why they stopped building, there was no time for it!!

Electro-Voice introduces the TPI-5 Touch Panel for NetMax systems at InfoComm 2012
June 13, 2012
Las Vegas, NV, June 13, 2012 -- Electro-Voice is introducing the TPI-5 Remote Touch Panel for NetMax systems at InfoComm 2012.
The TPI-5 is a display interface device for the control and monitoring of Electro-Voice NetMax systems, and is configured and programmed using IRIS-Net PC software and an Ethernet connection. The shallow depth of the assembly allows for convenient mounting into most standard walls.
One of the most important aspects of how a system is operated is the user interface. IRIS-Net allows fully customizable Graphic User Interfaces for any application and any kind of user. IRIS-Net includes a large library of graphical elements, such as buttons, faders, LEDs, and display objects, and allow a programmer to fully customize the look and feel of any control objects within the software project. Programmers can create clusters of controls called User Controls and save this in a personal library for future use.
This level of customization creates projects that are attractive and easy for users to understand and operate, regardless of their technical knowledge and ability. The TPI-5 allows the extension of these custom user interfaces into remote locations through the use of a compact, rugged, and robust hardware package designed to the highest of quality standards.
Key features of the TPI-5 include:
- Custom design of the control surface – Custom graphical user interfaces via IRIS-Net, with functionality and graphical representation for all kinds of applications.
- Long life span and noiseless operation - No fan, no hard disk.
- Reliable server technology – The TPI-5 can operate independently or in conjunction with additional IRIS-Net applications to provide maximum flexibility.
- High Durability – The TPI-5 is built to industrial standards, ensuring robust and reliable operation in even the most demanding of environments.

Dog Trained To Fetch Vodka
Most dogs suck. I mean, they'll bring you a ball back, but really, what are you going to do with a ball? I know what you'd do if a dob brought you a bottle of Vodka, and that's get Ukrainian drunk. Watch the most useful dog in the world do his best trick.
I'm not 100 percent sure about the Ukraine's whereabouts on a map, but apparently, they like to hunt and drink, so it can't be that far away from Mid Michigan. I don't know why the countries in the arctic trundra love drinking vodka so much, but they've even got their animals helping them now.

Fergie Shows Off Her New Baggage
Fergie Shows Off Her New Baggage
Fergie rocked an Emma Watson reminiscent pill-dress at the launch party for her new line of Kipling bags in NYC last night. Unfortunately she didn't have my favorite accessory, Josh, on her arm, but I suppose the bag she designed is good enough. Fergie was showing off a black tote, but just like Fergs herself it has a little bit of flare with that bright blue accent. I wonder whether this will be a new event staple for The Duchess -- if so, maybe we'll be seeing another one this weekend at the Teen Choice Awards where she is slated to perform. Hey, maybe she'll even bring that date of hers.

My wife made me spent too much time going with her to shopping malls just to hear what i think about her wedding party dress. I was very tired of walking and had a lot of headache. Thank you God, I finally found this dress online. After carefully watching the video how to measure the size from JJ'sHouse website, I had it tailored made for her. This beautiful dress came back in just 2 weeks later. It fits my wife perfectly. It is exactly what i see in the picture. From now on, the shopping is so easy for me, it is just one Click away. Thanks JJ's House. Your company really saves my life.

Communication with SEGs Lost Key to Smooth TIP Charter Conversion
LANHAM, Md.-Being proactive with the select employee groups IR Federal Credit Union shed in its conversion to a TIP charter, IR FCU President and CEO David Bunch says, definitely helped the transition. "It was a very nice and smooth transition from a multiple SEG-based charter to the TIP-based charter," IR FCU CEO David Bunch said. "Naturally, there was some loss" when the credit union changed fields of membership from one that included both federal government and private sector SEGs in the D.C. area to a TIP-trade, industry, or profession-charter serving civilian federal government employees in a 40-county swath from Virginia to Pennsylvania. To ease former SEGs about the switch, Bunch explained that the credit union contacted all the SEG sponsors that IR FCU would be losing by phone, and again in writing, about what the institution was doing, why, and how the credit union could help. IR FCU also informed SEG sponsors of other potential credit unions to form relationships with and told area credit unions that might be interested in picking them up of the SEGs it would be losing. "We haven't left anybody in the dark. We haven't left anybody hanging, which is important with a credit union," Bunch said. He added that being "proactive in the communities with non-federal employee groups" was key to IR FCU's smooth transition. There were a number of reasons IR FCU explored the TIP charter option. Bunch said, first, the credit union decided to get back to its roots, which were in the Internal Revenue Service back in 1935. Additionally, during the 1990s, while IR FCU was adding all its SEGs, growth was stagnant. "You have to grow the root to grow the tree." Bunch philosophized. "As much as our charter changed, it didn't follow up with growth." With the new TIP charter, IR FCU should have plenty of opportunity for growth. Its FOM grew from 60,000 potential members from its various SEGs to around one million federal civilian employees in the prescribed area. IR FCU management finds it "very exciting.to be back home," Bunch said. They are still looking into branding changes and whether a new name will be necessary. The full service credit union has five branches currently, of which only one offers public access because the others are in federal buildings. While the credit union has no new branches planned in the next couple of years, it will work to leverage its online services to act as a more convenient, virtual branch. IR FCU is banking on the recent college graduates entering the federal workforce having been raised in a computer savvy environment, Bunch said. Another exciting part for Bunch is greater ability to steal consumers away from banks. "I just think credit unions are the way to go," he emphasized. -firstname.lastname@example.com

About Me
My name is M.Theresa O. and I have a new multi-media production company in Dayton, Ohio. I am self-taught and am constantly seeking to improve my work = so constructive criticism is greatly appreciated!
I started out as a model for local photographers and artists back in my late teens. A career in the fetish lifestyle for the last 10+ years led me to the other side of the camera, shooting all of my own publicity shots for the last five years or more. I am now retired from the "fetish life" but it is very much a part of my tastes, my wardrobe and my eye. If you are not into real fur, please don't bother to contact me, as I love it and use it frequently in my shoots. I have a number of custom made clothing items at my disposal, and can have things made to measure for you, should you require that extra service. I am currently collecting men's items as I am just beginning to work with a few local male models.
Also, a very important issue for me is that I have a number of allergies which precipitates the need for a few rules from those that work with me: no perfume/cologne; no strongly scented personal products like lotion, hairspray, etc (it must all be unscented or go without); no smoking.
I love the glamorous woman of days past, the pinup icon, the ultimate beauty... and for me, preferrably a venus in furs. I have a large collection of fur, fetish wear, shoes and related props for others to utilize in our sessions. I can also provide makeup, if required, and can offer hairdressing services thru my sister (please inquire as to our criteria for these servies). I do use photoshop to edit all my photos, so that the women I shoot appear as perfect and glossy as the dreams they idealize. I do offer such props as clothing, wigs, furs, gloves, hats and other items from my vast wardrobe. If you wish to have custom clothing items made for you, that can be arranged with advance notice also, as my sisters are both seamstresses who are at my disposal. I love providing fantastically styled photos that are glossy, surreal and unforgettable. Period themes are a favorite subject. I also wish to offer my services to couples to provide more intimate wedding memorabillia - for the bride and groom to share with each other eyes only. If you have ideas you'd like to see come to fruition, ask and I'll see about creating some magic for you.
Should you wish to hire me to assist you with new photos, I offer three package options.
Options are:
Package 1: 2-3 hours @ $200 (2 backgrounds/3-4 costumes)
Package 2: 3-4 hours @ $400 (4 backgrounds/6 costumes)
Package 3: 4-6 hours @ $550 (6 backgrounds/8 costumes)
These prices are of course excluding extra services like hairstyling, which can be arranged at extra expense. The packages include 10 (ten) 8x10" prints and a cd of finished, edited images and a proof sheet of final photos. You will have use of these images provided that I am given proper credit, and I will have paperwork to that end for you to sign. I do include editing time in each package, and additional hours needed to edit will be charged at a rate of $10/hr and will be client approved before work is completed.
Please see my site for more info: http://www.tfienterprisesinc.com
Please note, I have had many requests for TFP/CDs and cannot possibly help everyone. From now on, I will not be taking on any more unpaid work; sorry but I have to draw the line at being nice somewhere. If you're a model wishing to work with me you're going to have to pay me for my time, as I do everything from gathering props and sets to helping with makeup and hair then many hours of post-production in photoshop... I can't keep giving away my efforts.
Anyone with a classic car or custom motorcycle who would like to see it in photos, please contact me as I need these types of machines for future projects. I am perfectly willing to give credit to the owner and comp them a number of prints as well as a finished disc of edited images for their own private collection (not to be used for profit).

Conservative hero in trouble again!!
Posted in the Marne Forum
#1 Nov 18, 2013
Zimmerman arrested! This is on his ex-wife because she failed to press charges against him a few months ago. Had she pressed charges, against this pile of warm feces, he wouldn't have been able to beat this girl up---and I heard the woman he assaulted in this case is pregnant!
---George Zimmerman has made national headlines several times since his acquittal in July in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
Over the summer, authorities were called to a domestic dispute involving Zimmerman and his wife, Shellie Zimmerman, shortly after she filed for divorce.
Shellie Zimmerman accused her estranged husband of punching her father and threatening them at the father's home on Ridgewood Road.
In the end, no charges were filed against Zimmerman in the case.
Zimmerman was also accused by his wife's mother of stealing property from her Lake Mary home, where Zimmerman had been staying.
#2 Nov 18, 2013
Zimmerman has been accused of domestic violence and molesting a female relative in the past. He was also arrested for two third degree felonies involving assaulting a police officer. Different domestic violence allegations by different women at different times are not a coincidence. Zimmerman has all the hallmarks of a predator and an abuser.
Right wing hero George Zimmerman is a sociopath, who appears to believe that he can do whatever he wants and get away with it. When the Trayvon Martin jury let Zimmerman walk, they didnt just let a killer go free. They opened the door for Zimmerman to injure others.
#3 Nov 18, 2013
Don't twist your panties Miss P. Your scrotus should be weighing in at any moment to use the story to take the focus off himself. Wait for it.
"Russian ties?"

#4 Nov 18, 2013
Exactly how is it that Zimmerman is supposedly some sort of "conservative hero"?????
Do you even know his political background?
How about the political background of the jurors that found him not guilty?
When you look on the mirror, I bet you do see stupid people.
#5 Nov 18, 2013
What the heck does his political background have to do with this? Not one comment did until you. This is not about politics. Why even bring it up?
#6 Nov 18, 2013
Yeah, all those NRA gun nuts giving money to his defense fund must've all been liberal democrats. This guy was their hero, shooting a black thug for nothing more than being black. Being invited to tour gun factories and being held up as a responsible gun owner! I think everyone knows who the real thug is now. Well some of us always knew. Beating up a pregnant woman. Nice heroes you have there. Too bad Travon didn't somehow get his gun and shoot that fat sack of human excrement. Have fun in general population Georgie Boy. There's a lot of black thugs in there ready to tear your fat, pig azz to pieces!!!!! Karma can be a REAL bitch!
#7 Nov 19, 2013
Can't we all just agree that poor George is destined to live his entire life, surrounded by thugs, preyed upon by the media, and forced to keep standing his ground?
After surviving so many incidents in the past.... Undercover thug police officers.... Dark skinned skittles toting thugs trespassing in his neighborhood..... An ungrateful spouse and her thug father.....
Now he is confronted by some bimbo wannabe thug, who like all the rest, simply fails to understand how life is supposed to be.......
I'm afraid all of these incidents is draining the cash from donation fund...... If this keeps up, he may actually have to go out and find a job...... He may have to buy health insurance through Obamacare!
#8 Nov 19, 2013
Please see the last paragraph of Post #2 for the reference to politics.
#9 Nov 19, 2013
Watch these charges be dropped just like the rest of them were dropped. Nothing to see here other than the usual progressive drivel.
United States
#10 Nov 19, 2013
Oh ok. So if someone is accused of a crime or violent act in the future then they are automatically guilty of any crime they have been accused of in the past??? Oh ya, and they never would have been in fear for their life in the past even while getting their head smacked into the concrete???
I'm sure it was only the NRA and gun nuts supporting him too.
"This guy was their hero, shooting a black thug for nothing more than being black."
You show your own racism with such statements. A thug is a thug wether black or white or any other color. Provide the proof it would not of happened if Travon were any other color.
"There's a lot of black thugs in there ready to tear your fat, pig azz to pieces!!!!!"
Is it only black thugs that stick it in other males??? Or is that just from your experience??? A visit to your shrink instead of the Rainbow Club could go a long way for you.

The disturbing thing here is GZ's denialability attempt. After locking and blockading this gal out of her own home he had the gall to call 911 himself (after he put the guns away) and try to report to the police that it was he whom was attacked and she was the aggressor. Then, to finish off the act, stay calm as the cops arrived and act totally docile and submissive like he was the victim.
He's a loose canon that is going to cause more pain and death again if he is not put away. It appears the charges against him are felony offenses and hopefully they will stick this time.
#12 Nov 19, 2013
It's the same thing he did with Trayvon. He started out as the aggressor and then turned himself into the victim. No matter the outcome here he needs to have his concealed weapons permit stripped and made sure he does not have access to guns. He pointed a gun at his ex wife and now we hear he has pointed a gun at his pregnant girlfriend. This guy ends up dead either by his own hand or someone else's within the next 5 years. Guaranteed.

It certainly degrades his credibility. The charges include a felony so hopefully they will make this stick and put him away.

I guess you didn't read the title of the thread. I think 'iseestupidpeople' must be looking at you.
#16 Nov 19, 2013
So you were there and witnessed this, then?
You just can't get over that 'not guilty' verdict, can you? Here's a little piece of advice; carrying a grudge doesn't hurt anyone but you.
#17 Nov 19, 2013
Hmmm...the jury seems to have come to a different conclusion. I suggest you untwist your panties, pull them outta your crack and deal with it. I have to wonder where all your faux outrage is over the hundreds of black teens just like Trayvon who have died since that time, many at the hands of other black teens?
Yeah...I thought so.
#18 Nov 19, 2013
LOL and you haven't heard that Z-boy is the conservative hero?
what you been reading boy?
#19 Nov 19, 2013
How about you help iseestupidpeople untwist their panties and pull them outta their crack? That's about all you're good for anyway and they probably don't have the intelligence to manage the act by themselves.

Vox, I made no claim to have witnesed what happened there. Please don't make comments based on false information you perceive as being real.
The comments I made were based on the 911 call from the gal who had a negative interaction with GZ and the interesting and parallel history he has had with others.
Draw from it what you wish...

AUGUSTA, Ga. — With dad in his ear, Bill Haas turned in the best round of his Masters career Thursday.
Now he wants to do what his father never could — finish the job.
Haas birdied the final hole for a 4-under 68 and the opening-round lead, the first time he has broken 70 in five appearances at Augusta National.
His father, Jay, played in the Masters 22 times, with five top-10 finishes topped by a tie for third in 1995. He is staying with his son this week and providing valuable advice on the practice range.
"I never remember thinking, 'Man, I wish I could hit this shot for my dad,'" Bill Haas said. "But I do know that there's times I'm like, 'I wish my dad could hit this shot for me.'"
Jay Haas never won a major despite having plenty of success on the PGA Tour.
Maybe his son can take care of that family oversight.
"I think he deserves a major in his career as good as he played," Bill Haas said.
Defending champion Adam Scott has his major title and got off to a strong start in his quest to stay dressed in green, even with a stumble in Amen Corner.
Scott shook off a double-bogey at the par-3 12th, a tiny little hole that caused big trouble for a number of players. His tee shot caught the bank in front of the green and hopped back into Rae's Creek.
"I had just received the most incredible ovation as I came to the 12th tee — and I hit my worst shot of the day," Scott said. "I think that's my first-ever trip into Rae's Creek."
The Aussie bounced back with a birdie at the 14th, rolled in a testy putt to save par at the 18th, and finished with a 69, one shot off the lead.
"It was a nice way to walk off, not shooting 70," Scott said.
In contrast to Haas, it was the fifth time in his last six Augusta rounds that Scott has cracked the 60s, showing he still has the game to make a run at being the first back-to-back Masters champion since Tiger Woods in 2001 and 2002. Jack Nicklaus and Nick Faldo are the only other repeat champions.
If Scott finishes no worse than a tie for third place, he will take over the No. 1 spot in the world rankings for the first time in his career.
"In a sense, winning last year took the pressure off," Scott said. "What's the worst that can happen? I'm still a Masters champion."
Playing in their first Masters, Jimmy Walker and Kevin Stadler of the U.S. and Sweden's Jonas Blixt were among those shooting 70, making their way around the course just fine despite some unfamiliarity with the revered layout.
They are among a record two dozen Augusta rookies in the field, which doesn't include four-time winner Woods, out of the game until summer as he recovers from back surgery.
The 35-year-old Walker is having a breakout year on the PGA Tour, picking up the first three victories of his career. He kept up his strong play, ripping off a run of four straight birdies starting at the 14th.
"I wasn't thinking I was going to make four in a row," Walker said. "But just keep hitting good shots."
Gary Woodland and Brandt Snedeker of the U.S. also opened at 70, as did K.J. Choi of South Korea.
Stadler is part of the first father-son duo to play the Masters together. His dad, Craig, was the 1982 champion, while Kevin earned a spot in the field with his first PGA Tour victory at Phoenix.
The elder Stadler didn't fare nearly as well as his son. Craig opened with an 82 in what he has said will likely be his farewell as a Masters competitor.
"I played like a moron," Craig Stadler said.
Two players at 71 provided quite a contrast: 54-year-old Fred Couples and 20-year-old Jordan Spieth, who wasn't even born when Couples won his green jacket in 1992.

We have had Abby she is 6 months old in our home now for nine days and Misty 9yrs at first was so upset I really wondered if it was going to work. It seemed like after a week Misty was tolerating Abby being around. I just have to post that my first post some of you gave me some real good advice and I used it. Yesterday I never had to seperate them to give each one some space it went so well my husband said let them both have the run of the house when we went to bed. I woke up once Abby was between our pillows moving around. She jumped down and I heard a growl coming from the hallway from Misty but nothing more. Next time I woke up Misty was on the foot of the bed at my feet where she usually sleeps and was there awhile after I even got up. So on with it it was a very peaceful night and no problems. I think things would go better if Abby would not aggitate Misty. Abby sees how close she can get before Misty growls and then Abby does a run by real fast. It is a game to Abby. I think we are going to get along and things are going well. Thank you for all your advice.

This DVD features 15 of the cars hit songs, all performed live.Ā Fans are sure to recognize all of the tunes and be happy with the selections.Ā While some of their lesser songs that I liked are missing, all of their top 40 songs are represented.Ā The problem is that in between the concert performances they insert home-made film clips of the band behind stage and during interviews that really brings the momentum to a screeching halt and ruins the mood.Ā These clips are dull and uninteresting in the extreme.Ā A good portion was filmed by the band with a consumer video camera.Ā Not only does it look horrid (dark and graining and very soft) but the band doesn't do anything.Ā You see them lounging around in dressing rooms or hotel rooms.Ā There's even shots of someone walking down the aisle of a plane in flight filming the band looking out the windows.Ā *yawn*.Ā Do we need to see some guy backstage telling Ric that if you tip a toaster on its side you can make a grilled cheese sandwich?Ā How about a bored Greg throwing food against the walls?Ā The interviews are just as bad.Ā They don't show or play (some are audio only) the whole sections of an interview; they'll just splice together the dumb questions without the answers.Ā I'd rather see the band rock out.
The group does give some good performances.Ā Gimme Some Slack really rocked, but they followed that clip up with sound check they did in Tokyo that sounded really horrible.Ā Of course they weren't trying to sound good, just get their equipment adjusted correctly, so I'm a little surprised that they even put that it.Ā The disc finishes with two songs from the 1982 US festival (remember that?) that were a lot of fun.Ā It's the highpoint of the disc.
If they had just strung the concert footage together this would have been a fun disc to watch.Ā As it is, make sure you have your remote ready so you can chapter skip to the next song whenever they take up backstage.
The DVD:
This is a great package.Ā The DVD and CD come in a hardcover book (they are slip into slots in the front and back cover.)Ā The book has pictures of the band and partial lyrics to their songs and makes a nice part of the set.
The full frame video leaves a lot to be desired.Ā Now all of this video is old and wasn't recorded under optimal conditions but even taking that into account the disc looks horrible.Ā Just about every video defect you can image pops up at one time or another.Ā The picture is often blurry with smeared colors.Ā There are entire songs that have a dozen or more video dropout on the screen at all times.Ā There is chroma noise, overmodulation, tape tracking errors, and blocking.Ā The songs that make up this disc were taken from different concerts, so they don't all have the same defects, but none of the songs look good.Ā This looks like it was mastered from a third or fourth generation bootleg VHS tape that someone bought off of e-bay.Ā This is a very bad looking disc.
Like the video, the audio portion is pretty bad.Ā The disc comes with a PCM stereo track and a DD 5.1 mix, neither of which sound great.Ā Going into this disc I thought that the PCM track would be superior since the concerts were undoubtedly recorded in stereo.Ā That wasn't really the case.Ā Both soundtracks sounded thin and with limited range, but the 5.1 was more engulfing and felt more like a concert.Ā They also boosted the audience sounds in that track which served to cover some of the deficiencies of the audio.Ā Of course this couldn't overcome the fact that the audio was from a 20 year old video tape.Ā A rather poor showing on the audio side.
There are five additional songs in the bonus section:Ā Cruiser, Strap Me In, Drive, Touch and Go, and Everything You Say which can be played separately or all together using the "play all" option.Ā I actually enjoyed this more than the main feature because you could see the group play their songs without inane video between the selections.
Final Thoughts:
I really enjoy the cars music, but this disc doesn't present it in the
best light possible.Ā With very poor video and a soundtrack that's
nearly as bad, this disc won't win the group any new fans.Ā The insipid
backstage clips and montages only served to ruin the mood that the music
was able to create.Ā I've always considered myself a fan of The Cars,
but I don't think I'll be playing this anytime soon.Ā Skip it.

An Unsure China Steps Onto the Global Stage
The New York Times reports on China's new role in the global spotlight at the ongoing G20 meetings:
Yet even as Presidents Hu Jintao and Obama had their first meeting on Wednesday on the sidelines of the summit proceedings, the Chinese appeared torn between seizing their moment in the geopolitical spotlight and shying from it.
Government censors quickly deleted Mr. Xi's remarks from Chinese news reports last month. On Wednesday, the front page of China Daily, the English-language newspaper that telegraphs government positions to the outside world, warned that China "is not as strong an economy as some people think."
"Bailing out China is our most important contribution to bail out the world," Tang Min, an economist at the state-financed China Development Research Foundation, was quoted as saying.
Such is the quandary of a nation whose rise to power appears both inevitable and, in the view of many experts, still a bit premature.
It's also been reported that a disagreement between France and China over a plan to spotlight a list of tax havens almost derailed the G20 agreement until President Obama intervened and worked out a compromise. From AP:
That was when Obama, long a champion of ending or curbing tax havens, decided to float a compromise and pulled Sarkozy aside, according to a senior White House official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity as a matter of policy.
[…] Obama proposed that the G-20 merely "take note" of the OECD list, thus opening the door to implicit but not direct endorsement of that list.
[…] Obama then met with Chinese President Hu Jintao and Sarkozy in a corner of the summit meeting room, as the other world leaders waited.
Upon the trio's reaching agreement, the G-20 summit then agreed to note the list of tax havens.

Summer elementary reading program to be altered
Palmerton Area School District plans to alter its summer reading program at its elementary level.
The school board was apprised of the change to the program by school psychologists Meghan Garrett and Robert Palazzo at a workshop meeting on Tuesday.
Garrett explained that the district had utilized the Summer Skills Sharpener Program the past several years.
Due to cuts in grant funding, the district plans to instead use reading requirements with a recommended book list, as well as a book bag to encourage summer reading.
As part of the new approach, the district would give out books to students in grades 1-6 to take home.
Palazzo noted it's important for students to "keep and grow their reading skills."
Those students will receive a book bag with three to four books at their independent level, as well as one book at their instructional level, Palazzo said.
Palazzo added the plan would be to give the students their first book bag in May. They could then exchange them during the last week of school, and would be able to exchange them every week in the summer.
Also on Tuesday, the board learned Study Island may be implemented at Palmerton Area High School in time for the 2013-14 school year.
Sherrie Fenner, director of curriculum and instruction, said the program would span two years, at a cost of $2,600 per year, for a total cost of $5,200.
Fenner said Study Island is part of a consortium program with the Carbon Lehigh Intermediate Unit, and would be paid for through Accountability Block Grant funds.
Study Island would be for students in grades 9-11, said Fenner, who added the program is currently offered at the elementary level buildings, as well as junior high school.
In an unrelated matter, Fenner discussed the district's possible involvement in a one-year contract with the CLIU for the Pennsylvania Electronic Teacher Evaluation Portal.
Fenner said the program would cost the district $3,474, and would be paid for from out of the Race To The Top grant.

Eeep, sorry:< Herre~ http://www.ratemydrawings.com/drawings/ … 04982.html
comment or critique my quick drawing plizz...
http://www.ratemydrawings.com/drawings/ … 06327.html
This is very nice. You did a good job on details but maybe a bit more shading? I think some shading on the face would really bring it out more.
The middle girl's hips look a little strange because the waist looks bent, and I'm not sure where her left arm/hand is. The girl on the right's right arm looks slightly awkward. I'm also a little confused as to where the sun/light is, because of the shading. Other than that, it's a very nice picture, and it looks like your put a lot of effort into it! I especially love the shading of the hair and eyes. The background looks great aswell!
Cute manga do u hav.
Here my drawing again!!!

Really cool picture!
I'm bad at criticising, so i'll do the pro's first.
I love how you did the text. It's very detailed. The way you shaded is cool too.
But I think the eyes are not equal sized, and the ear should almost line up with the eyes.
Overall epic piece of artwork!
exelent drawing! th line art is wonderful, and i love the shading! but maybe, add some more detail in the background. overall, very good job!
There's not much to critique here. it's very realistic and the colors are phenomenal.
I feel that you put a lot of effort into the eyes to make them look perfect, but once you got to the nose, you kind of lacked motivation?
It just seems a lot more sketchy and incomplete.

Oh I really like the effect with hair. How it seems to break off. And with those blood drops.
But since criticism is requested:
There are three small complaints. Try holding your fingers like she does.
No matter what I try, I can't do my fingers exactly like she does hers.
For example, there are two bending points at the index finger.
I bend the first point and end up bending the second one as well and no matter what I try, it always ends up bending too.
With the hand of the girl, only the first point bends and the rest goes straight.
Also, the shading on the hair doesn't seem perfect to me. It's good, don't get me wrong.
But it seems wobbly at some points.
And it's not because I zoomed in, I can see it from afar and I'm really fixated on those things in my own drawings.
I know the hair is supposed to be flowy. Drawing it round and not straight and all...
However, to end shadings in the hair 'round' instead of sharp 1px doesn't really feel like flowy and clean to me.
I don't want to push my styles on others, but I would've 'ended the shadings of the hair' with a sharp point.
Overall it's pretty cool. The atmosphere is impressive and there seems to be quite an interesting story behind the character. The moon in the background looks very cool too and that grin looks insanely good. Keep it up!

HONG KONG, Sept. 28 (UPI) -- At its 17th National Congress next month the Chinese Communist Party will discuss its future policy and principles regarding Taiwan, a spokesman of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council announced this week. This indicates that conflict over how to handle the Taiwan issue is escalating within the party, which has maintained a clear Taiwan policy for decades -- pursuing unification under the "one country two systems" formula.
Why does the party need to discuss this issue again, ahead of Taiwan's planned referendum on applying to the United Nations? The answer is that the party hawks and doves are now facing a showdown over this issue.
The Chinese government has strongly attacked Taiwanese President Chen Shui-bian personally, calling him a "traitor" for launching a campaign for the island to join the United Nations under the name "Taiwan." China regards this move as a dangerous step toward independence. However, it has now toned down its rhetoric with the announcement that the Taiwan issue will come under discussion at the Congress.
It appears that the party is uncertain how to respond to the referendum, should it go forward along with the presidential election in March. So far Beijing has chosen a relatively peaceful response to the moves of Chen and his Democratic Progressive Party -- asking Washington and Tokyo to apply diplomatic pressure to persuade Chen to give up the referendum.
The effect of such pressure from outside is doubtful, however -- so far it appears to have created greater psychological resistance from the Taiwanese people, who feel their rights are being denied not only by China, but also by their own friends and allies. China has been blocking Taiwan's channels of interaction with the rest of the world for such a long time that the island's people suffer from an acute sense of isolation, tinged with anxiety over Beijing's aggressiveness.
Beyond Iraq, Washington's next strategic headache is Iran. Therefore it cannot pay attention to the Taiwan Strait, and hopes stability can be maintained in this region. An increasingly aggressive atmosphere on the Chinese side, however, is raising the Pentagon's concern. Some Washington-based strategists say that if a showdown over Taiwan is unavoidable, it had better be now than in 10 or 20 years' time. Pressuring Taiwan to be quiet is just part of a routine game the United States plays with Beijing.
Another choice for Beijing is some form of military threat. The PLA air force has moved its jet fighters frequently since the beginning of September. Shanghai also tested its air raid defense alarm system this month, disturbing the ears of the city's residents for the longest time since 1949.
All these moves seem to be in vain, however. The reason is that Taiwan clearly recognizes China's juggling tactics as those of a paper tiger. China does not have the capability to mount a decisive showdown with large-scale military landing operations. Taiwan is not afraid of a middle-sized or small-scale face-off.
As for the navy, the PLA navy has only two each of Type 052C, 052B, 051C and 052A guided-missile destroyers, or DDGs; four Russian 956EM DDGs, and four Type 054A FFG frigates, which have reached the technological standards of the Western and Russian navies of the 1980s and '90s. In other words, the Chinese navy consists of only 16 modern battleships. Most of its other vessels are little more than junk. Also, among the 16 ships, all except the Type 052A and 956EM DDGs are still being tested at sea. Only one large dock-landing ship (Type 071) with about 9,000 tons full displacement has been completed, in August this year.
The Chinese army launched a military landing maneuver using a number of fishing boats in 1999, which Western observers jokingly called "a million troops swimming across the Strait."
China's air force has 100 Su-30 MKKs and 48 Su-27 SKs purchased from Russia, plus another 95 indigenous J11 and J11A, and 70 J10A fighters. In total it has 313 third-generation aircraft, to compete with Taiwan's 148 F-16 Block 20s, 58 Mirage 2000-5s and 130 IDFs.
Comparing the level of training and the quality of the aero-weapons on both sides, the Taiwanese military is still somewhat superior. Also, China relies heavily on aero-weapons supplied by Russia and Ukraine, including the advanced RVV-AE, R-27 and R-73 air-to-air missiles and other air-to-ground missiles. Beijing does not have enough capability to sustain a long-term war against Taiwan due to the lack of high-tech ammunition. Its limited strategic oil reserves are also a factor likely to restrain Beijing from military action.
A small-scale military showdown in the Taiwan Strait is possible, including a provocation by jet fighters, a limited sea blockade, a cruise-missile attack or a landing operation against one or more of Taiwan's small outlying islands. Taiwan would retaliate with a range of counterattacks.
Politically, a military attack by China would worsen its position with regard to Taiwan and most likely help the DPP win more votes in the election, as well as tarnishing its international reputation.
In their discussions next month, the party members will surely have a difficult time coming up with a resolution for this chronic crisis.

It is hard sticking to the PR script when your shares fall 16pc on the back of your maiden results.
All credit to Yu, despite the distractions, he still managed to weave Betfair, Facebook and eBay into the same sentence: who says Betfair is not the next hot technology stock, but just a glorified bookmaker?
Hot technology stock is, of course, how Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley sold Betfair only a couple of months ago. With some considerable success, we were told at the time, with savvy West Coast-based US investors among the buyers.
This was a company with unique technology and huge barriers to entry, institutional investors were told, before being persuaded to pay £13 a share for a stake in the betting exchange.
The problem is that no matter how good Betfair's technology – or how large its barriers to entry – the punters simply aren't punting. Horse racing revenue declined and Betfair customers shunned a new poker site.
It wasn't supposed to be like this. This was supposed to be a growth stock.
Not surprisingly the slowdown spooked investors and prompted renewed questions about the strength of the growth story and regulatory risks as the betting exchange attempts to move into new markets and on to new platforms. The shares fell to close at £10.36 on Tuesday.
At the time of the float, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley – who collected £15.7m in fees along with Barclays Capital and Numis for floating Betfair – insisted that the offer was "oversubscribed".
Maybe so. Although those who missed out at the time didn't seem that inclined to pick up a few on the cheap on Tuesday as the shares fell as low as 965p.
Yu wouldn't be drawn on the quality (or not) of Betfair's share register on Tuesday.
But if I was a chief executive and I saw my share price tumble 16pc, just months after I had handed over £15.7m to investment banks to build a "long-term quality shareholder base", I would be asking some pretty hard questions.

Something unusual heard on the Marana football team's sideline as the squad headed to the locker room for halftime: "Hey coach, did we defer before kickoff?"
In a normal game, it isn't all that hard to remember the coin toss. But this coin toss was more than a month ago, and Monday afternoon's showdown between Marana and Mountain View was anything but ordinary.
The game (the first meeting between the intra-town rivals in seven years) started Sept. 4, but with a little less than seven minutes left in the second quarter, the threat of lightning prompted referees and school officials to pull the plug.
The cancellation came mere seconds after Mountain View senior quarterback Evan Roberts completed a long touchdown pass to senior wideout Mark Vera to put the Mountain Lions ahead 6-0. That's exactly when play resumed on Monday, with more than a few differences.
Vera, the lone point-scorer in the first part of the game, watched from the sidelines, the recent recipient of emergency appendix surgery. The 3 p.m. sun shone much brighter than any stadium lights, and the stands were about half as full as they were in September.
None of the unconventional aspects of the game seemed to mean much to Mountain View's Myles Williams.
After rushing for 304 yards on 41 carries just four days earlier in the Mountain Lions' first win of the season, 54-27 over Rincon/University, Williams bulldozed for 138 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries Monday as the Mountain Lions (2-5 and facing Salpointe Catholic on Oct. 23) notched their second consecutive win with a 20-7 victory over the Tigers. Marana (3-3) won at home 20-0 against Flowing Wells on Friday, and travel to Cienega this Friday.
"(Williams) is a good role model, he works hard and encourages everybody," said Mountain View head coach Paul Schmidt.
That encouragement seemed to pay off, especially on defense.
The Mountain Lions allowed 96 yards of total offense, holding the Tigers' running back duo of seniors Josh Boak and Terry Helsel to a combined 75 yards rushing, and stifling junior fullback Louis Payne.
Mountain View's defense was equally effective at thwarting the Marana passing game, allowing one pass completion and eventually causing the Tiger coaching staff to pull junior quarterback Robert Contreras in favor of Boak.
Senior defensive back/safety Robert Kallal gave the Mountain Lions their final touchdown of the afternoon, racing 65 yards for a score after intercepting a Contreras pass with 6:49 left in the third quarter.
The Marana defense, although unable to stop Williams' explosiveness on the ground, was stingy in all other aspects. The Tigers allowed one five-yard completion, and forced three fumbles and an interception.
One fumble, recovered by sophomore defensive back Tanner Morris and returned to the 18-yard line of Mountain View, set up Marana's only score of the game, a four-yard quarterback keeper by Boak with 4:55 left.
With a good defensive effort on the books, Marana head coach Anthony Coronado was straightforward about where his team needed improvement.
"The first thing is, we obviously need a better passing game," said Coronado. "People are going to load the box – we're going to have to run through eight-man fronts, or we're going to have to get people off of us."
"Right now, we're not getting people off of us," added Coronado, whose team travels to Cienega this Friday.
Mountain View's Schmidt hoped his team is over the worst of what he terms as a "brutal" start.
"We had 13 kids out with the flu against Tucson, (Vera) had to go in for emergency appendix surgery," said Schmidt. "It's tough."
The coach said that two wins so close together, coupled with a bye before facing Salpointe on Oct. 23 might just create the momentum Mountain View needed.
"That's our plan," said Schmidt with a smile.
