By keeping America's southern border open and ALLOWING as many as 30 MILLION (so far) to enter America ILLEGALLY; Bringing in with them DISEASES that were all but eradicated in this country; Allowing muslim terrorists to enter with the other invaders; Creating in this country a marked increase in crimes such as rape, murder, assault, home invasion, burglary, armed robbery and vehicular manslaughter committed by these invaders and then REWARDING those CRIMINAL INVADERS with HUNDREDS of BILLIONS of American taxpayer dollars in financial support and services for their crimes…
As a whole, America's Central Committee (formerly known as the American Congress); as well as America's mostly corrupt judiciary; as well as individual state level central committees (formerly known as state assemblies); … with complete MALICE OF FORETHOUGHT are GUILTY of TREASON; GUILTY of Endangering the Health, Security and Wellbeing of American citizens; and are accessories before and after the fact in ALL crimes committed and yet to be committed by these ILLEGAL INVADERS of America.
But America HAS an answer to these crimes.
Since ALL of these crimes, as well as a myriad of others …
–(like passing legislation to deprive Americans of their Constitutionally protected rights; the creation of bureaucracies to stifle American business as well as to regulate every single aspect of American's private lives; the complete invasion of the privacy of American citizens; the stripping of parental rights of Americans; the self appointed "authority" to arrest and indefinitely incarcerate Americans without trial or even formal charges; to invade the private homes of citizens without a warrant; to stop at the personal discretion of police any and all people to "examine their papers") –
have been committed by, or 'authorized' by America's actual ONE major political party that comprises the whole of America's central committee (which before their merger into one actual party were two privately created corrupt political parties known as the Democrat Party and the Republican Party) …
America's ANSWER to ALL of this and MORE is to actually REINFORCE THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE by returning to office, or ONLY adding new party members that are endorsed and supported by the puppet party of America's actual rulers.
Americans have been totally indoctrinated to believe that they can ONLY appoint people to the central committee that have been approved by the puppet party of America's owners. Yet they somehow have convinced themselves and now totally believe that in doing so they will somehow be able to return America to being the free country it was founded to be, and once again have a congress instead of a central committee comprised of the puppets of America's financial globalist owners.
This attitude of the masses can only be compared to slaves being given the opportunity of choosing from different task masters who are all in their owners employ, thinking that by doing so, life will not only somehow get better for them but they may actually regain their freedom.
But they will never regain their freedom. In fact America will continue to fast spiral downward until it is nothing more than just another region on this planet. Just another territory under the control of the U.N. and the financial globalists who initiated, own and control that totally fraudulent "world governing body".
America has ONLY TWO possible scenarios out of the situation the people themselves have allowed to take place.
The FIRST is a physical revolution. But THAT will NOT happen. Americans have repeatedly shown that they are big … VERY big on attitude and ego, but not so much of anything else. They will constantly threaten to revolt and some will actually prepare themselves for it, but then as always they will backup and draw another line in the sand daring government to cross it. And when government DOES cross it they will back up again and again drawing more and more lines in the sand.
And a physical revolution will not happen for several other reasons. Only two of which are; Americans have become a very lazy and spoiled people who place their comforts and their recreational habits and their entertainment above all else. They KNOW that IF there were to be a physical revolution they would run the very real risk of losing all of those comforts and quite probably lose them permanently. And the second reason is that IF a physical revolution were to occur then America would be over anyway. What would remain are many different areas other than the states that are now in existence. Those areas would be like the city states of ancient times. And with the world as brutal as it is now, with so many different countries wanting to see America overthrown and conquered, those individual "city states" would not be able to unify militarily and one by one they would be overwhelmed and conquered.
The SECOND scenario where Americans themselves are concerned is the only truly viable way out of this present state the nation is in. It's actually the ONLY way to save the nation without massive bloodshed, and it's the ONLY way the nation could remain intact. And THAT WAY is via the voting booth.
There is no one who can honestly deny that ALL of the damage that has been done to America has come solely at the hands of Democrats AND the Republicans. ALL of the damage to America has been done by THEM and ONLY by THEM. NO ONE ELSE.
LONG AGO and long before they were purchased by America's owners and merged into essentially one party, these two privately created corrupt political parties DIVIDED THIS NATION BETWEEN THEM and ONLY between them. No other parties were allowed even a chance to save this nation from them. The result is the America that exists today.
The continuing damage to America COULD be stopped. The harm done to this nation by what is now actually America's ONE major political party COULD be repaired. The nation COULD be saved from financial ruin and total bankruptcy. America COULD regain its sovereignty. And America COULD once again be the shining beacon for the entire world to see and aspire to be like.
ALL of this COULD be accomplished if the American people would break free from their yokes of psychological servitude to the owners of America and their puppet party. ALL that would need to be done is for the populace to no longer cast even ONE vote for either the Democrat side or the Republican side of the owner's puppet party. That does not mean that Americans should organize yet ANOTHER political party because the vast majority of Americans today place their pockets above their patriotism. But there are already SEVERAL parties in existence that Americans have never been told even exist. IF Americans who actually CARE about their nation would for just FOUR to SIX elections in a row vote for any or all of those other political parties and did not cast EVEN ONE VOTE for either the Democrat side or the Republican side of the owner's party, The REVOLUTION would have occurred and America would once again be a nation possessing an actual CONGRESS instead of a central committee, and would return to what it has not seen in well over a century, which is a country possessing an actual government that is OF the people and BY the people and once again actually functioning FOR the people of this nation.
But Americans have time and time again, with every single election that comes, PROVEN that they will not do that. Instead they will remain obedient servants of America's masters and will continue to voluntarily wear their yokes of servitude to their masters and vote ONLY for either side of their master's political party.
So … America's border will remain open. Disease will soon enough reach epidemic proportion. Crimes committed by the invaders will continue to increase. More terrorists will have easy access to this country. The totalitarian government presently under construction will continue to be put firmly in place. Americans will continue to lose even more freedoms and have even more restrictions placed upon them. There will soon enough be complete "Big Brother" monitoring of even all activities in private dwellings.
Yet Americans still seem to take offense at being called sheeple instead of people.

Our Guest Contributor Maureen from Homemade Mothering shares with us how she continues to stay GREEN throughout the year and instills those same values in her children by doing simple everyday things that help make the planet happier.
I was once interviewed for an article about green-themed New Year's resolutions. At first it took me a while to come up with one – I make an effort every day to green my life. It quickly dawned on me that the best way for me to continue the green lifestyle in the new year is to share it more with my kids. My young kids understand the concept of recycling and saving energy, but now would be a good time to encourage them to switch off lights and limit water use while brushing their teeth. Now is a perfect time to show them the small steps they can take. By fostering planet-minded habits at a young age I am training my children to be lifelong stewards of their grandchildren's planet.
In the spirit of the new year, perhaps it is time for you to consider ways to green your family's lifestyle. I've found that making simple changes to our everyday habits benefits the planet and our finances, too. Some simple ideas to get you started:
- Give up paper towels and paper napkins
- Buy groceries from a local co-op
- Make homemade laundry detergent
- Switch to cloth diapers for your babies
- Quit bottled water and switch to a reusable bottle
What steps will you be taking in 2013 to make this year a little GREENER?
Maureen Smithe Brusznicki is a wife, mother and friend to Mother Nature. When she's not playing with her kids, experimenting with homemade cleaning products or cooking in the kitchen she likes to blog about living a healthy and simple life at Homemade Mothering. Maureen has also ventured out into the business world by starting her own line of organic cloth diapers called Terra Baby.

The holiday season is always a great time to pick up a new gaming console and, in case you've had your eye on the Nintendo 3DS XL, the Big N has decided to offer a special bundle including the game and a free copy of Mario Kart 7.
The Christmas season is known for offering big discounts on gaming devices. If you missed out on all of the big Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, however, you still have the opportunity to pick up Nintendo's latest handheld at a discounted price.
Starting Dec. 4, a limited edition blue/black Nintendo 3DS will be packaged with a copy of Mario Kart 7 already pre-installed on the system. The entire package comes in at $199.99, a savings of about 40 bucks if you were to purchase the two items separately.
While the console's software offerings are identical to the regular 3DS, the 3DS XL offers screens that are 90 percent larger. For adults with larger hands or a desire to feel like you're staring at a 72-inch 3D TV right in front of your face, all of that extra real-estate will come in quite handy.
The latest in a long line of Nintendo-themed racers, Mario Kart 7 offers all of the mascots, karts, tracks and modes you would expect from the series, as well as vehicles that can now traverse long gaps with a flying ability or dive underwater with a propeller.
Look for the both the console and the game to be bundled together for $200 starting Dec. 2.

Across The Lake
This column sort of came through the mail. A friend in LaCrosse, a bookseller in Connecticut and a garden supplier in Faribault were among those with a hand in it, but I'll start with Harold Kiehne in LaCrosse. Actually, with a friend of his in Florida who sent Harold some clippings from Florida newspapers. Since that seems to be a state where some of the local snowbirds go, I perused the clippings Harold sent along with his letter, first making note of what he's doing himself.
He's a World War II vet which puts his age just right for talking to seventh and eighth graders about the war (he saw a lot of action in it) and about growing up during the Depression. Does it regularly, talks to 40 to 50 youngsters at a time, and knowing what a good storyteller he is, I'll bet they enjoy it.
The clips he sent along had me wondering about those folks in Florida, and why it's such an attraction. Forget the lousy weather they've been having and the damage to the citrus and strawberry crops and the loss to the farmers who raise them. One Miami clipping covered so many murders and assaults that at first I thought it was from Minneapolis, where "Minnesota Nice" seems to have lost its meaning.
Last week's mail brought another catalog from a bookseller named Edward G. Hamilton. Off and on, I've been buying from him since just a few pages of newsprint listed all his offerings. Today, it's a catalog of more than a hundred pages, printed in color, but especially catching attention because of his charge for postage. One book or a dozen, it's the same: just $3.50 per order, and that includes titles in some three or four dozen categories.
How to Back Up a Trailer: And 101 Things Every Real Guy Should Know. I haven't ordered that one, but probably should, having the most success in backing a trailer right into a ditch -- but that's another story. The book also tells how to build and light a campfire in the rain, and even how to tap a keg for the perfect beer flow. With the closing of the bookstore in the Paul Bunyan Mall, looking through the list of some 3,400 titles takes on new interest.
So does the catalog from Farmer seed, although blue potatoes or watermelon with orange insides aren't exactly what I'd choose for the limited space we have. I look at the miniature fruit trees in the catalog and then at the grapefruit tree My Favorite Reader started from seed several years ago. It's never produced fruit, never even bloomed, but just sits there in its large pot, attractive and green and inspiring hope for the future.
That hope for the future is what Garden Club members exhibit, probably right about now. They get so little credit for all they do to make their town more attractive, more pleasant, more inviting. The pots on street corners, the window box planters like those at the History Center, the plantings at Wayside Park -- all of these things get to be sort of taken for granted by the rest of us. With encouragement, they might even figure out a way to beautify those dumpsters now parked by The Pond!
In a few weeks, tomato seeds will be started -- Grandma Swenson started hers in one pound Nash Coffee cans -- and cucumbers and squash, too. If he does it the same this year, Ed Carberry will have a whole garden ready to transplant when the weather is right, and he won't be alone. Mrs. Gross, up the road from us, has a big planter just off the edge of the right of way, always nice to see, and there's a spot not too far from the Crippen's and another on the Gull Lake Road -- both showplaces by mid-summer.
One more catalog, the one from Seed Savers. Founded in in 1975, it's dedicated to preserving heirloom seed and now offers some 2,500 varieties, many dating back not just decades but centuries. Three dozen kinds of squash, eight pages of tomato seeds including Riesentraube and Blondkopfchen. Page after page of flower seeds, too, so I naturally had to look at what Hollyhocks were included. Varieties include both the Nigra and Outhouse kinds, though for now I'm counting on the plants I got from Steve Bechtold a year ago.
The Seed Savers Exchange is located not far from Decorah, Iowa, and it's well worth a visit if you're in that area (which can happen if you have a daughter and her family there). They not only maintain gardens preserving those endangered varieties, but also have a membership offering a total of 21,564 different kinds of seed. Fascinating.
All in all, the mail has been interesting even with all the stuff that gets tossed into the paper-recycling bag. My Favorite Reader has been busy, catching up on the many notes that demand to be written in response to those that came with holiday greetings.
I need to do some of that, too, including one to Harold. Who else would think to send you a clipping about a six foot shark found in the middle of the street in a Florida town?
Thoughts while drying the dishes... We just learned of the closing down of a couple of weekly papers in Oregon, which prompts just this very serious comment: "Thanks for being one of our readers."

Reasons to Buy the Xclef HD-500 20GB Jukebox:
You can read text files of the screen.
Can be upgraded to bigger hard drive - takes laptop 3.5" drives.
Easy to use.
Cheap for what it is.
Can encode straight from a hi-fi, no need for a PC.
Big, clear display.
Can organise data just like a Hard drive.
Reasons not to:
Scroller is a cheap plastic slide on the side, feels weak. Not a patch on the Ipod system.
For an Mp3 Player it is big - just over 5" in Height and 3" wide and 3/4" deep.
Doesn't hold big text files to read i.e. no books
Not amazingly pretty.
Takes ages to start up when you turn it on, as it scans the whole drive, and audibly whirrs as it does so.
Having said all of this the only thing that holds the Xclef Hd-500 back is its size. If you are looking for a cute, small and pocket sized Mp3 player this is not for you. However if you want a true gadget with the ability to upgrade the size of the hard drive and change the battery as it takes mobile phone (Nokia) Batteries, but to do this you must be relatively familiar with electronics.
When all is said and done I do love mine, oh but how I dream at night if only it was a little smaller...

He's a lady's man, a man's man - and a wanted man, on the run in 1930s Europe....
Meet Blacky Lee, ruggedly handsome with a quick wit and a roguish charm. Think Clark Gable - with larceny in his heart and a price on his head. A price put there by the German Gestapo. But Blacky's always got an angle, and this time it's as audacious as they come. He'll hide in plain sight, impersonating the crowned head of a Balkan kingdom. He'll become The Iron Duke.
Can he pull it off? Win the love of a country... and of a beautiful woman? All Blacky has to do is risk everything - and, for once in his life, find a way to do the right thing.
Hubbard and Gable were fast friends and fellow adventurers. While Hubbard was writing for Columbia Pictures in 1937, the studio often called upon him to doctor scripts for Gable - giving him a unique knowledge of the man and inspiration for characters like Blacky Lee.

"The best!!!!"
I love this story. I must have listened to the story 7 times. Once I listened to it, I restarted from the start all over again as soon as done. I did not wait even a minute before I pressed start again. It was so good! I'd rate it a 10 if I could. It's just a real fun, action packed story - but funny too - the acting is great!

Work at increasing your happiness quotient
What's something that feels amazing, is contagious and actually could save your life?
Realistic optimism.
Embracing that glass-is-half-full view of the world, while willing to acknowledge its challenges, can increase your happiness quotient, help you live more healthfully and roll back your RealAge. Thankfully, you don't have to act like Pollyanna or recite wimpy affirmations like "Saturday Night Live's" Stuart Smalley – who was good enough, smart enough and doggone it, people liked him! – to get all the benefits that come from feeling more hopeful and less stressed. They include:
1. A healthier ticker: Even if you're at high risk for heart disease because of a genetic predisposition, family history, high lousy LDL cholesterol or elevated blood pressure and blood sugar, living with a sense of hope and well-being can lower your odds for heart disease by 30 percent to 50 percent. If you've already had a heart attack, optimism can help you stay on track with exercise and lower your odds for dying within five years after a cardiac event by a whopping 40 percent.
2. Better blood fats: Optimism nudged levels of healthy HDL cholesterol upward and pushed levels of heart-threatening triglycerides down, according to another new report. Highly optimistic people had HDLs four points higher than gloomier folks – enough to reduce their heart disease risk 12 percent.
3. Improved decision-making: Optimism enhances your ability to make good decisions under stress, a skill that can help you say "no, thanks" to a coffee-break doughnut on a tough day at work, "yes" to exercise – rather than chips, the couch and the TV remote – when you're tense. And that means you'll be better at solving whatever challenges life throws your way.
4. Stronger immunity: A bright outlook boosts an important defense against disease called "cell-mediated immunity." How important is it? Very! This part of your immune system controls your body's ability to fight invading bacteria and viruses, and helps battle some cancer cells.
5. Stroke protection: A hopeful outlook can cut your risk for a life-threatening, mind-damaging "brain attack" by 10 percent or more. Why? Because positive people are more likely to get exercise and eat healthfully, sleep better and feel less stressed – all lifestyle activities that reduce the risk of stroke. But it may be something more than that. Optimism all by itself bolsters health in ways that remain mysterious.
6. A longer life and younger RealAge: A healthy old age isn't just a result of good genes. New data show that North America's longest-living citizens share a zest for life – they're easygoing, upbeat and social.
So if you're ready to gain those benefits of optimism, here are a few easygoing steps that can help you over to the sunny side.
• Think loving thoughts: A short "loving kindness" meditation – you focus on feelings of love and compassion for yourself and others – increases optimism and makes you feel more connected to those around you; spending time with friends is another important mood booster.
• Feeling good? Go deeper: People who pay attention to and enhance their positive emotions are more able to overcome tough times. Perhaps turning up the volume on good feelings builds a reservoir of joy to see you through life's challenges. Try noticing when you feel playful, serene or spiritually uplifted, and then ask yourself how you can heighten that feeling. It's fun!
• Keep it real: Having unrealistically positive expectations or glossing over problems instead of solving them can backfire, triggering low moods.
• See positive challenges instead of threats: Resilient people attack problems in everyday life like a plumber who knows he's got a well-stocked toolbox and plenty of experience when dealing with situations like a leaky pipe.
Just reminding yourself to think more positively is often all it takes, science says.

Steepster's Ultimate Holiday Tea Contest!
These prizes look amazing! Steepster has been very useful in finding new teas to try, I'll keep my fingers crossed!
If I won the prize pack I would make the Golden Monkey black tea from the Yunnan province of China. I would boil my water to perfection using the utiliTEA steep it in the Sorapot and then enjoy it.
Good luck to everyone!
Always on the lookout for new teas, love the contest, thank you!
I'd brew Art of Tea's Vanilla Berry Truffle first, because, well, I ADORE rooibos teas, and have a particular fondness for vanilla-flavored rooibos. Pair that with the black currents and hibiscus, and well. Sounds fantastic.
This contest is AMAZING! Happy would be a major understatement if I won!
I've been wanting to try Coconut Pouchong tea for quite some time so that would have to be the first one I'd make.
Thank you Steepster!!!!!!
Not only is it great to have a site to go where tea lovers can find wonderful products, but then you go a offer a Christmas prize bonanza….good work!!
Nice contest. I would make the matcha with that sweet set!
I'd make the coconut pouchong first because it sounds yummy – no idea what it tastes like though.
Wow, the Sorapot is a work of art!
I think I would probably have to close my eyes and pick randomly, otherwise I'd never be able to decide. I mean, right now I'm leaning towards the Coconut Pouchong, but I'm not sure how I'll feel five minutes from now. ;)

Hello everyone.
I have installed GGMM on my Sony Vaio which runs Windows 7 64 Bit.
GGMM works normally, I can make backup of everything and install mods, but when I go to the game, the mods don't appear on the game.
Is there any reason why this keeps happening?

I personally would use IMG tool to install mods, though if you do decide to keep using GGMM then make sure your using the latest version of DirectX.

I find GGMM easier to install even though I never used IMGTool..

text: No way we are a poor rebounding team with Chandler and Camby as Stellar rebounders, Melo can board for his position and STAT is solid. KT and Sheed will still be physical on the boards plus JR/Kidd are great rebounders for their positions. We ranked 18th last year and our back ups for the front court were Jorts and JJ, think we'll be fine.

Lalu replies to EC's notice
September 19, 2005 17:09 IST
Pleading that he had not violated the model code of conduct, Rashtriya Janata Dal chief and Railway Minister Lalu Prasad�on Monday�replied to the show-cause notice served by the Election Commission on a complaint that he had misused his official position.
Prasad, in his response to the notice, maintained that he had all regard for the�EC and stated that he had used his official vehicle only for security reasons as he was placed in 'Z' category, senior party leader Ramdeo Bhandari told PTI.
Bhandari, who handed over Prasad's response to the EC, said the RJD had paid Rs 700 to the Railway Board for ferrying its leader from the Rail Bhavan to the Commission.
He also pointed out that in view of the model code, Prasad had travelled as an ordinary rail passenger in North Bihar recently and hoped that the EC would be satisfied with his reply.
The EC had served the notice following a complaint from the National Democratic Alliance, which alleged that Prasad as also another union minister from his party, Prem Chand Gupta, had breached the poll�code by visiting the EC headquarters�in Delhi�in an official vehicle, while seeking to reschedule poll dates for the state Assembly elections.

Service Academy Open House Teaches Area Students About Military Opportunities
Students around Central and Western Nebraska Saturday learned about the various academy programs available at the Service Academy open house at Central Community College's Grand Island campus.
"Those who answer the call to service are some of the best and brightest in the country, and I'm always proud to see so many young Nebraskans interested in becoming military leaders," U.S. senator Mike Johanns (R-Neb.) said in a press release about the event.
"Nebraska has no shortage of patriotic young men and women willing to serve their country," said Congressman Adrian Smith (R-Neb. 3). "I hope interested young people will attend this event to learn more about the unique opportunities offered by the service academies and ROTC programs."
General Roger Lempke, state director of Military Affairs for Johanns said it was important for students to have the academies and congressional offices under one roof.
"It's one stop they can get Air Force, Navy, Army, Marine and Coast Guard information all in one and face–to–face," Lempke said. "Otherwise they'd be online or try to do it other was. The young people are interested in what they offer, careers they offer, type of education, majors/minors, and what the lifestyle is like, because it's going to be different at a military academy."
Students were able to learn about the service academies nomination process.

Oh my Down under is having a huge celebration today, it was 1987 the last time we won it, and we just had to bring it home on home turf, WELL DONE GUYS, I am so proud to be a KIWI today.
We only won by 1 point, which means the French played so well, i take my hat off to them, they were very gracious in defeat,and the French should indeed be proud of them.
It is kind of spooky, the score was 8-7 to the ALL BLACKS, last won in 1987 and that day back then a rainbow appeared over the field, guess what, same thing happened.
Hey and Wom you know how i said i was not in to sport, I confess i am now a convert LOVED it all, and totally hooked, mind you i do have my eye candy of the team, the handsome ,sexy Ma'a Nonu.
So for the girls, here is my favourite all black, what you think? he is a HUNK.

The weather is getting colder and the leaves are turning colors...ladies and gentleman, I believe Fall is finally here! Along with the changing of the seasons and the crisp air comes the sweet smells of fall recipes. Freshen up your fall offerings and show your clients a unique menu by tossing aside the pumpkin spice and creating delicious entreés using these less-popular fall flavors and some of our suggested recipes. Pear When cooking, there are multiple options for which type of pear to use. Bosc, Anjou and French Butter pears keep their shape the best when cooked, while Bartlett pears are the best option when you are looking to create a sauce or do not need a firm shape. Anjou pears have a mild, sweet flavor with a firm texture and juicy center. Bosc pears are crisp when raw and have a soft, grainy texture with a sweet flavor. Bartlett pears have an incredibly juicy center with a traditional sweet flavor. French butter pears can be used raw, but must be fully ripened to keep texture and flavor. Turkey Pear Skillet Poached Pears with Prunes Squash Butternut, Spaghetti and Acorn squash are the best varieties used during the fall and winter seasons as they are ripe in season. Butternut squash tastes similar to pumpkin and is stringier than a sweet potato. Fontina Risotto Cakes with Sautéed Spinach, Butternut Squash and Charred Tomato Sauce Parmesan-Butternut Squash Gratin Fig Figs have a sweet flavor with a slight honeyed taste. The heaviness of the flavor make them a great accent to savory foods such as aged cheeses, cured meats and with nuts. Figs work beautifully in fall with citrus flavors, particularly lemons and oranges, as well as with cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. Love Birds - Chicken in Puff Pastry with Fig Jam Stuffed Figs with Yogurt and Grand Marnier Sweet potatoes The sweetened taste of sweet potatoes makes them a great ingredient for a variety of dishes throughout the fall. They can be used in anything from dessert to salads to side dishes to a stand-alone dish. Baked Sweet Potatoes with Caramelized Onions and Shaved Parmesan Sweet Potato Pie with Pecan Topping Ginger Root From marmalades to stir fries to fish, ginger root can be used in many different recipes with a combination of ingredients. The slightly biting taste and rich, woody aroma creates a great fall pairing with apples, hazelnut, plum and garlic. Ginger & Chili-Seared Prawns on Cucumber Rounds with Lemon Aioli Moroccan Lamb with Sweet and Sour Smoked Tomato Eggplant Jam Maple The buttery, sweet flavor of Maple offers a decadent alternative to caramel during the fall season. Maple works to enhance the flavor of paired ingredients and offers a full bodied, nutty aroma. Maple can be used as a sweetener in many recipes. Maple and Cardamom-Spiced Pears with Pecans Mini Chocolate Chip Maple Pancake Cupcakes S'mores with Maple Bourbon Persimmon This mildly sweet fruit offers a nice balance to bitter ingredients and can be consumed raw, dried or cooked. Coffeecake and chocolate varieties offer a unique spicy sweet element that is laced with a cinnamon after note. Coffeecake persimmons offer a unique spicy flavor and can be consumed while firm. Fuyu persimmons can be eaten while firm and offer a sweet flavor with a crunch when ripe. Broiled Persimmons with Mascarpone Persimmon Bread

Anthony Giardina's new play will be directed by Tony winner Doug Hughes and begin performances April 10. Opening night is set for May 5 at the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater.
Henry James once described Washington D.C. as "the city of conversation." The show tells the story of political hostess Hester Ferris, a behind-the-scenes mover and shaker in the nation's capital, and of the political gains and personal losses that her choices inflict on her family over a period of 30 years, from the waning days of the Carter administration to the beginning of the Obama presidency.
The production will also feature John Aylward, Kristen Bush, Beth Dixon, Barbara Garrick, Luke Niehaus, Kevin O'Rourke and Michael Simpson.

Cops: Man threatened guard with syringe
Published 12:12 pm, Wednesday, January 9, 2013
BRIDGEPORT -- An alleged shoplifter threatened a security guard with a syringe, police said.
Christopher Somsky, 39, was detained by a loss prevention officer at the CVS Boston Avenue pharmacy Tuesday after the suspect was seen putting medicine into a bag and attempting to leave without paying, said Bridgeport police spokesman William Kaempffer.
Somsky had been brought to the store's break room, and when police were called he took out the syringe, told a CVS employee that he had AIDS and demanded that the security guard return his cell phone, Kaempffer said.
The employee fled into a bathroom and locked the door and Somsky fled the store with the seven packages of Children's Advil he had taken, the police spokesman said.
He was arrested a short time later near East Main and Jane streets, and police recovered four syringes. Somsky no longer had the medicine and it appeared that he had sold it to one of the stores in the area, Kaempffer said.
Somsky was held on a $7,500 bond, charged with first-degree robbery.

Into the baths of Lourdes. Reprinted from The Tablet in Godspy:
Out comes a Down's syndrome boy, face creased with smiles. He gives us all a thumbs-up. Nothing to worry about, fellahs, he seems to say.
The Catholic Church is nowhere better represented than here, at this moment. The boundaries between physical and spiritual are collapsed, and the Kingdom breaks out: the disabled mingle with the able-bodied, the nations mix, and we tap into God's goodness by physical acts which we are confident are not meaningless. Our literal age has little time for this stuff, which shrivels under the cold glare of rationalism. But the sacramental imagination is bigger, deeper and wider.
All I have done is move down a pew or two, but I am much closer to what this is all about. Our unconscious grasps what our eyes cannot. Who are they, in the chariots in front of us now? Our fears—deformation, paralysis, fragility—but also our glory: the Spirit of God, assuring us of human empathy and supernatural transcendence. Healing is collective; we are in need of others. The fellow in the middle with the purple fingers could go at any time, but what better way than like this, carried by gentle young helpers, into the arms of God?

Beltway Beef Audio News
The U.S. Senate is likely to vote as early as tomorrow Tues., Nov. 16, 2011, on an amendment sponsored by Senators John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) and Dean Heller (R-Nev.) to the Energy and Water Development Appropriations bill for fiscal year 2012 that would defund the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) attempt to expand its jurisdiction under the Clean Water Act (CWA) through guidance documents and/or regulation. National Cattlemen's Beef Association Deputy Environmental Counsel Ashley Lyon said NCBA members have been actively urging policymakers to vote yes on the CWA Amendment.
In spring 2011, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Corps proposed a "guidance" document that attempts to expand their jurisdiction under the CWA to include almost all waters across the country. This amendment would stop this government overreach dead in its tracks.

This shows the tolerances better:
Thanks. THose are making me think my reach is too short.
This video is probably the best shot of MEA in the aero position. It is on her track bike but that is very close to the TT bike. She makes this look easy. We show the start of the 10 lap effort and then pick up the action at lap 6 or about 32 mph.
We are trying to get her to keep her head down. You will note near the end of the video as the motor is doing 37 mph, she drops her head and slightly rotates forward as the effort gets really hard for her. We would like that all the time. However, she has a great position, flat back (not rounded) and great neck flexibility.
I hate young fit women. Just sayin'
What I've sort of figured out for my TT position is that I need to set up my bike at the UCI extremes and then adjust by millimeters from there. My extensions are in the 5 cm gray area and my Ares saddle is right at 5 cm behind the BB center. From there I play with the elbow pad height and saddle height (within a few millimeters of my theoretical ideal saddle height. Of course, YMMV (by a lot).
Given that most (but not all) really fast TT folks look about the same, you'd think it would be easier to find your ideal position. Clearly it's not. Very small changes have a big impact both on how aero you are, and how much power you can produce. The folks running the Faster wind tunnel claim it is extremely individualized, and that changes which look like they would be more aero often actually aren't. But then, it's in their interests to say things like that. The most aero rider they've had in the tunnel is one of the UHC guys. Second most aero is "Rocket Man" a teammate of mine. Many of the folks on the team have spent time in the tunnel, and nobody has complained that it wasn't worth it. The focus has usually been on the two biggest factors: position and helmet. You need a lot of experience, and the ability to objectively evaluate yourself, to be able to sort it out yourself... a' la' Ex.
I am way not in the UCI limits for the saddle, my saddle nose is 2 cm in FRONT of my bb center. I'm lead to believe at my height (5'2") it would be a no-brainer to get a morphological exception.... I haven't applied for once since I am a 4 and I doubt it will come up.
Key to passing the test is to sit on the saddle as far back as possible (a long saddle is desirable). However, if your ass is off the back of saddle, it is going to be a problem. I would not say it is a no brainer. I would say that your height will cause the commissionaire at technical inspection to want to grant an exemption. However, 2 cm in front is IMHO too much. It doubtful that you can sit normally on the saddle and have your knee in the proper position relative to the pedal spindle. And you are only allowed one exemption. If you get one for your seat then the aerobars must be in compliance and not in the grey area.
edit.... uh-oh.....
The other thing to remember is that I have only had my TT bike checked at Nationals. The first time I went, I thought my bike was in compliance, but it wasn't and I spent a couple of hours the night before the race getting it to be compliant. Of course, changing the position the night before a big race is not ideal. :rolleyes: Last year the bike passed with the position that I had been using all year.
If I wasn't racing nationals (or world championships) then no one would have ever checked my bike. Being a law abiding engineer forces me to be anal about my bike's setup.
I need to read what the setup should be. Next, I need to get a saddle for my Felt that I can actually stand for more than five minutes, and then take it out and ride it. And THEN start getting it dialed in. It NEVER has been, and I've owned it for two years.
just registered for my A race. THey sent the notice that reg was open today, so I went ahead and registered. I was the first one, and they were letting you pick your start time within your category for the TT.... so I'm going last. :innocent:
and of course now i think i should have gone in the middle. hmmmm.
The Racer Ex garage sale begins
Nice collection of stuff.
I'm gearing up for an ebay purge, as well... but it's all crap, compared to that haul.
Oh look you are selling an srm with 165 crankarms. And disk wheels. Hook line and sinker.
I did LT intervals on a local hill on my road bike today, my longest one (16.5 minutes) I had watts 15 above my mean-max for the same time period in my TT race last weekend, with HR 8bpm lower today.

The following is a collection of information I've learnt about my Hurst family. The page is updated as I find new information and was last updated 26 Feb, 2017.
Featherstone and Mary Ockerby: Tasmania Pioneers by Kathy Wright provided extensive background of the Ockerby life in Yorkshire and early life in Australia.
What's on this page?
Thomas Ockerby Hurst
My great grandfather Thomas Ockerby Hurst was born in 1873 in West Yorkshire to Charlotte Ockerby, age 32, and Charles Hurst, age 35. Charles Hurst was the son of a coal porter who came from a farming family near Whitby. He married Charlotte Ockerby in April 1868 when he was 30 years old.
Charlotte's father, Thomas Ockerby, and her brother, Featherstone Ockerby, owned a transport business in Dewsbury which consisted of carriages, hearses, mourning couches, wedding carriages, riding horses for hire, horse-drawn cabs and horse stables. They ran a service between Dewsbury and Bartley. Featherstone lived for awhile in the house where they had the yard and stables in Bartley.
Charles was originally a ship carpenter and became a grocer after marrying Charlotte. Charles carried on a grocery business at the top of Daisy Hill and later on Church street in Dewsbury.
According to the family tree compiled by Thomas Ockerby Hurst, in 1939, Charles and Charlotte had 5 children. Three of the children died in infancy and his older sister Annie Hurst born in 1971 died of TB in 1889 when she aged 18.
Featherstone Ockbery built a semi-detached house (two dwellings under the same roof) in Dewsbury in 1873 which was known as "The High Close". Three generations and sixteen of the Ockerby family eventually lived under the same roof in 'The High Close' which was four storey high and lite by gas.
Charles and Charlotte Hurst moved into The High Close in 1875 when Annie Hurst was aged 4 and Thomas Ockerby Hurst was 2. By this stage Charles was ill and he died in 1878 of kidney disease at 39.
They shared the left hand side of the house with Charlotte's parent's Thomas and Ann Ockerby (nee Featherstone). Featherstone, his wife Mary and their children lived in the right side of the house.
Thomas Ockerby died in 1882, leaving his real estate to his son Featherstone Ockerby and his personal estate to his wife Ann Ockerby to be passed onto Charlotte Hurst and her children on Ann's death.
Feather Ockerby sold his coaching business in 1887 and emigrated with his wife and children to Tasmania, Australia on the cargo steamer Tiverton on October 20, 1883.
Charlotte Hurst remained in England with her two children and moved with her mum Ann Ockerby into a well built terrace house just behind the High Close at 9 Clarke Street, Anroyd. Her daughter Annie Hurst died of TB in 1889.
The inheritance from Thomas Ockerby supported them and enabled Thomas Ockerby Hurst to graduate in a Bachelor of Arts with Honors to become an Anglican priest.
Charlotte stayed in the Clark Street house until Ann died aged 93 in 1904.
Thomas Ockerby Hurst married Mary Anne Hutchinson in 1905. Charlotte moved to Devon to live with them until her death on New Year's Day 1908 at their home at 6 Brunswick Place, Devonport.
Mary Anne and Thomas Ockerby Hurst were related. Mary Anne and Thomas Ockerby Hurst grandfather were brothers. Charles Ockerby, the brother of Thomas Ockerby, was Mary Anne Hutchinson's grandfather and Thomas Ockerby was Thomas Ockerby Hurst's grandfather.
Mary Anne and Thomas Ockerby Hurst had three children:
- Fanny Hurst b 1906 d 2000 m George M Edgecombe b 1902 d 1994
- Charles Herbert Hurst b 1908 d 2006 m 1936 Clarice Emma Hill b July 19, 1903 d 1973 m Mollie
- Sheila Hurst b 1916 d m Web Green
I don't currently know much about the Hutchinson's history other than the following sketch that was sent to my great grandfather or grandfather by one of their English relatives.
Featherstone Ockerby's son Thomas Ockerby, who at the time was a successful flour miller in Western Australia, persuaded his cousin Thomas Ockerby Hurst to emigrate while on an English business trip with his wife on 1914.
Thomas Ockerby Hurst and Mary Ann Hurst (nee Hutchinson) emigrated to Western Australia departing March 13, 1914 on the Orient Steamship Company's Orvieto with my grandfather Charles Herbert Hurst (aged 5) and his sister Fanny Hurst (aged 8).
From back row to front:
- Back Row – Thomas Ockerby Hurst, William Hutchinson, Herbert Hutchinson, Charlie Hutchinson, Hamey Goodall
- 2nd Row – Aunt Edith & Alice, Aunt Mollie, Fanny Hurst, George Hanson Hutchinson (granddad), Charles Hurst, Fanny Hutchinson (Granny), Mary (me), my mother, Aunt Eleanor & Arthur
- Front Row – Garnet, George & Dinnie
The ship arrived into Fremantle in May 1914.
The Orvieto was launched in July 6, 1909 and did the passenger service/mail run to Brisbane, Australia. The March 1914 was Orvieto last return trip to Australia before the outbreak of World War I. The Orvieto was requisitioned by the Admiralty as an armed merchant cruiser. She resumed London – Sydney – Brisbane service on Nov 1, 1919.
The family lived in the following locations as a result of Thomas Ockerby Hurst work:
- 1914 – 1918: Rector of Harvey Anglican Parish
- 1918 – 1913: St Barnabas Anglican Church, Greenbushes
- 1923- 1925?: temporary appointment at St Albans Church
- 1925 – 1930: Rector of Goolmaling Anglican Parish
- 1930 – 1938: St. Barnabas's Anglican Church, Kalamunda
- 1938- 1947: St Aidan's Anglican Church? East Victoria Park

Charles Herbert Hurst
Charles Hurst, my grandfather, was the middle child of Thomas Ockerby and Mary Anne Hurst. Born on 20 July, 1908 in Sheepwash, in Devon and died 23 Feb, 2006 aged 98 years.
Below is a copy of a letter sent by his father to announce his birth:
And his baptism:
The following is the eulogy from Charles Hurst's funeral written by his son Ric Hurst.
Charlie to most but usually Charles to both his first wife, Clarice, and Molly his second. "Boy" to his sisters
Dad or "the ol' man" or sometimes worse to his two children……usually when his notorious stubbornness, supposedly a Yorkshire trait, drove them to distraction !!!!!
And of course Granddad to the next generation…….despite his wishes to be called anything but by the first batch who couldn't handle calling their Mum's Dad "Charlie".
From their viewpoint….tough if it made him feel old.
There is no doubt that Charlie was never an "old man" in his mind despite his years.
Regardless of where you fitted with Charlie, his willpower and tenacious determination were admired by all.
We all anticipated him getting the telegram from the Queen in 2008.
After losing a farm in the Great Depression, a hand in the '40's to a sawmill, one wife in 1973, a second in 2000, and then a leg to circulation problems in 2003 one could assume that a man would give up, get sour and grumpy, then go into a nursing home to fade away.
Not Charlie….. who fiercely defended his right to live alone and care for himself despite a tin leg, failing eyesight and limited hearing.
More inspiring was the fact of his alertness and sense of humour, and continuing joie de vivre.
Many would see him tearing down the street on his shoprider, a hazard to all……when you can't see the traffic…….or hear the traffic it can be interesting!
Only the day before his fall he told of practicing on the mouth organ as he was going to the shopping center to buy some flowers and play a few tunes for some of the girls there.
"They are very nice……often come and give me a kiss…………I am buying a lot of flowers lately !!!!!!!!"
Arriving in Australia in 1914 as the son of an Anglican parson, Charlie's first taste of Australia was as a kid in Harvey.
When the Rev T O Hurst moved to the tin mining town of Greenbushes Charlie experienced the cruelty of the miners' tough little Aussie bush kids who mercilessly bullied the little pommy boy.
The solution was to toughen up and become a bigger larrikin than the rest of them.
By all accounts this may well have been one of his greatest successes!!!!!
Gone are the days when size 10 coppers boots up the backside and the stern words "I will tell your Father" were enough to make the worst kid quake.
In today's world it is likely Charlie would have been in juvenile detention.
Modern society is less tolerant of the stealing of mining detonators, the subsequent use as targets for pea rifle and ging as they sat in the holes laboriously hand bored through split fence posts.
I gather the result is further splitting of the post and a collapse of the fence wires!!!
We definitely disapprove of kids unchocking mining skips and riding them down the sloping tracks into slurry flooded mines…….just for a lark and a swim!!!
His unworldly Parson Father had even let him loose with a Stevens "Crackshot" .22 rifle as an eleven year old………despite the prior offence of shooting his older sister in the bum with an air rifle.
The raiding of orchards could not be considered stealing……..just boys being boys!!
All in all, Charlie as a kid may well have qualified, not as a delinquent…….but in this politically correct age…..as a dangerous armed terrorist !!!!!
From Greenbushes State School Charlie was sent to Guildford Grammar where he spent seven years as a boarder.
We are not sure that at 19 years of age he actually passed his Leaving.
We have learnt that his Masters commended his papers but protested that his handwriting was such that they could not properly mark him in the time available.
We do know that he loved history and the classical languages and was awarded prizes for his studies of Languages and Divinity.
That must have been when he wasn't up to mischief.
Like the occasion when strings to the Master's table legs resulted in an upturned table and a school master with an upturned inkpot on his head. Said Master's glasses were certainly not rose-tinted as Charles was viewed through rivulets of black ink cascading over the lenses and dripping from the frames.
Charlie also developed as a fair cricketer and footballer.
It is likely that the tempting watermelons across the Swan may have improved his swimming too.
During those days Parson Hurst was at Wongan or Goomalling and "The Smiling Parson" as he was known became somewhat legendary for his fast trips between services in his "T" Model Ford.
A Father Son competition soon developed as Charlie, on holidays, would achieve better times.
Until his Dad had the whole of the next term to once again set the pace.
It is easy to see that Charlie's "lead foot" developed early. He often claimed that he would put in his Will that there was a bottle of Scotch for the first to arrive at the cemetery after his church service, as he had no patience for the slow parade from church to grave.
Many a mourning crowd arrived at the grave to find Charlie there before them!!
Unfortunately that detail was overlooked in the Will.
He was also would to state that a funeral was too serious to be taken seriously………and welcomed any joke to ease the somber occasion.
On leaving Guildford Charlie went to the "Wallecup" property of Dr House to work and learn farming.
We believe he practised assiduously at football and beer drinking, driving the ubiquitous T Model on greasy clay roads………… and giving himself a lifetime abhorrence of Port wine!
We all know that feeling !!! It must have been quite a binge !!!!
His unworldly Parson father then set this youth up on a farm on the outskirts of Wongan Hills.
A combination of youthful diversions and the Depression were not long in sending Charlie on the road with nothing but meager possessions on his back and two horses.
Somewhere during this rather lean time in his life Charlie developed his ability as a boxer and we understand went close to becoming professional.
His pugilistic skills added to his confidence and the training mellowed a fiery temper.
After a spell in the Edgecombe vineyards working for his brother-in-law, Don, Charlie obtained a position on the E Day & Co property "Sunnyhurst" at Bridgetown.
Settling into that life he married the principal's daughter, Miss Clarice Hill and became a partner.
The late '30's saw the arrival of a daughter, Millicent Mary………better known now as Janne.
During 1941, whilst manpowered, the loss of most of a hand in a sawmill left Charlie frustrated by an inability to get an active service posting as the War situation deteriorated.
It is notable that despite the disabled hand, Charlie continued with everyday life on a farm.
His family accepted his situation as normal and apart from cufflinks and collar studs he never asked for help because of it.
This ability to cope was an inspiration to disabled youth over the years and his example sometimes provided that extra push others needed to get on with life after disabling injuries.
Help with cufflinks was a routine need as Charlie's background and interests naturally led him into the Masonic Lodge. After joining in Bridgetown Charlie remained a member throughout his life. Although not active in his latter years Charlie had previously been most involved and had attained Grand Lodge Honours.
In 1944 Clarice added a son to the family, Richard…….better known as Ric.
1947 saw a health crisis for Father-in-law, Ern Hill who decided to sell up and distribute the shares of the partnership within the family.
The Hurst family moved to a leased property west of Pingelly and in 1950 moved again and purchased a property east of Popanyinning.
The "Popo" farm was home during Ric's formative years and there are prized memories of both humour and amazing patience as Charlie was such a pleasure to work with.
What other boy survived, without abuse, driving the crawler tractor and header through a boundary fence on the first round of a new paddock at harvest??
It was easy to pull the wrong lever at only eleven years of age!!!
Imagine the patience to tolerate the youth who comments "It is time like this you need a sense of humour" as you trudge home some miles at sundown after that same youth has bogged not one…but two tractors with his stupidity.
With delight one recalls Millicent, when housekeeping as a 15 year old, running from the dunny screaming "SNAKE"!!! Charlie was never sure of his skills at identifying snakes …so after the .410 had blown a hole in the roof the poor innocent little Carpet Python crawled through to be dispatched.
Young brother will be eternally disappointed that the snake hadn't just dropped instead of only looking at big Sis.
Dad believed in letting youth find out about drink and cigarettes at home with kindly supervision rather than furtively in less desirable situations. This tolerance led to an ironic situation where Charlie would be driving boys, including School Prefects, back to boarding school whilst one would be happily puffing away with impunity………until he got to school!!
Just prior to selling out at Popo Charlie purchased a harvester at a clearing sale. His blatant larrikinism was still present in 1962 so the unlicensed open tractor was despatched, in the early hours of a frosty August morning, to drive to East Wickepin. Permits?? You jest!!
Comb still on, no following escort, car in front with neither signs nor orange lights.. straight through Wickepin, on a busy golf day with fairways across the main road, and to the Popo back roads. A problem…the culvert rails were too high for the comb to clear and the roadways over them too narrow.
Easily fixed when one has a chainsaw in the boot !!!!!!!!!
Clarice had become afflicted by multiple sclerosis and had also never come to terms with leaving her hometown, Bridgetown.
Thus in 1962 the Charlies and Clarice sold out the farm in Popo and returned to a property east of Bridgetown on Tweed Road.
In the late '60's the property was sold to Ric, who was then working up north, and Charlie lived on there in the dual role of carer for Clarice who had become bedridden with the MS and general farmhand / caretaker of the property.
When Clarice became too ill for home nursing Charlie continued his life on the farm but added the routine of twice-weekly visits to the Manjimup Hospital.
Upon the death of Clarice in 1973 Charlie's Lodge friend, the late Ken Smith, urged him to get out and mix with younger people and live.
At about this time Charlie started casual work around to keep himself busy.
Pruning a neglected pine forest with long handled shears Charlie was, at 65, cutting limbs that a 30 year old could not manage.
This tough, fit, man did a little rouseabout work and left the youth of the team in open mouthed wonderment when two could not cope with the same shearers that Charlie had kept up to working alone.
A spell as a janitor in the Wapet Camp on the Barrow Island oilfield was probably Charlie's last paid work. He likened Barrow to being in gaol as he got his work done in half a day, found it not to be strenuous, and with no interest in fishing had little to do for the balance of his time.
We hasten to add that, despite his misspent youth, there is no record of Charlie ever having been in the cells!!!
Barrow was a common thread in the extended family with Mollie's grandson Malcolm, Ric, and later Ric's stepson Jason all working there.
Another common thread for all of those, and younger Grandson, Matthew, was attendance at Guildford Grammar School.
As a result of Ken Smith's urging Charlie became active in the Bridgetown Repertory Theater, and was to drive considerable activity within that organisation …….and became President for a time.
In 1980 Ric and his family, farming at Gairdner, needed to sell off the Bridgetown land and it appeared that for a while Charlie could be homeless.
Little did they know that Charlie had re-established contact with a widowed childhood sweetheart from his Greenbushes days !!!
What a delight…….and embarrassment……..to have two 70 year old teenagers !!!
After a trip to England, with his bride, Mollie, Charlie settled into life in Albany.
Outside interests saw him involved in the Cemetery Board and the vestry of St Johns…both groups gaining from his love of an argument and his diplomacy.
Charlie resumed a long neglected interest in timber and after attending TAFE took to milling sheoak and turning it into furniture.
Friends and family became recipients of his production, often a little rough, where enthusiasm surpassed both skill and eyesight, and definitely weighty…….usually with as many dovetails as could be used………..along with brass screws to be sure !!!
Article published when he was 80:
Article published when he was 93:
and when he was 95:
His 90th birthday celebrations:
The loss of his leg brought this to a halt….although he would use his saw bench to cut firewood when his shaky one-legged balance prevented an axe being safely used.
During this dangerous time of life in his nineties the sharp mind and ready wit were ever present.
At meeting a couple and after being firmly corrected on his assumptions as to the direction of their friendship he quickly responded to the man "I congratulate you on your taste" and to the lady "and you on your common sense"!!!
It is only a few months ago that he quoted Ecclesiastes Chapter 12 flawlessly to a friend.
One fall too many changed all of that.
We are confident that he would have been quite happy to have passed away with a fall into his saw rather than the slow decline that he endured with anaemia and a hip fracture.
It is certain that the epitaph of his favourite author Gene Rhodes is apt for a man whose passage through life has touched so many of us and left his mark in our hearts.

WINNIPEG - Despite the injury suffered by Montreal Canadiens enforcer George Parros on the NHL's opening night, Winnipeg Jets defenceman Zach Bogosian is adamant that fighting should remain part of the game.
"Fighting should always be in hockey, no matter what," Bogosian said Wednesday, a day after the Jets opened the season with a 5-4 win in Edmonton.
"If they take fighting out of the game, it will be a whole different dynamic and it won't be the same. Because you'll get guys running around who play a lot tougher than they normally would. It's good, it keeps everyone honest."
Parros was knocked unconscious and taken off on a stretcher after he hit his face on the ice at the end of a fight with Toronto's Colton Orr.
He suffered a concussion, an injury many fighting opponents point to as a reason to ban scraps from the game.
