Abortionists as Euphemists – the Curious Case of the Shifting Language
January 9, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Most abortionists are euphemists. By which I mean merely, to quote Chesterton, "that short words startle them, while long words soothe them. And they are utterly incapable of translating the one into the other, however obviously they mean the same thing."
If, for instance, you say to an abortionist, "The excessive burden upon the mother, particularly in light of the rights to autonomy, privacy and reproductive freedom, of an unplanned pregnancy precludes any ethical objections to surgically removing the products of pregnancy post-viability, but prior to completion of delivery," a gentle, indeed a radiant smile will cross his face, and he will dose off as if to a lullaby.
Say, on the other hand, in a forceful, straight-forward way, "Crush the skulls and suck out the brains of your children!" and he will leap from his seat, startled and full of objections.
But the two sentences mean precisely the same thing.

3 years ago: The Debt ~ $125T+! Then Obama: Up $22T+ in only 3 years! $22T to $26T+ by 2015! Since November 2011 to January 2013 he has added $2 Trillion to the deficit! States' Unfunded: $3.2T+! (Dec10) From Jan'09 the deficit: $10.2T→$14.6T up $4.3T/42%! -- Federal unfunded liabilities total $84 trillion .. equal to 5.7 percent of the present value of all future GDP, which translates into about 31 percent of the long run federal revenue estimate," the report states. "Thus federal revenues would have to rise immediately and permanently to 24.1 percent of GDP to cover the fiscal imbalance."

What were you doing in the last hour while the U.S. Gov't spent $188 Million Dollars of our money! (Every Hour, Every Day!) (Apr11) In 8 years, President Bush added $5 trillion to the national debt; President Obama, according to a revised Dec11 GAO report, added $4T+ to the U.S. deficit in 2011 alone! The GAO estimates the deficit, including o'scamcare & mandates, may grow from $15T+ to over $26T+! UPDATE: A little-noticed event occurred at approximately midnight on Monday, October 31, 2011. The National Debt exceeded the GDP! Imagine what these numbers are going to be now that Obama is reelected! (src)
"Over the last four years our national debt has risen nearly $6 trillion, and just last week the debt topped an astounding $16 trillion. To put that in perspective, $16 trillion is enough money to fund the US military, along with the military of every NATO country combined… for the next sixteen years! Government spending is projected to hit $3.8 trillion this year alone. Even after every tax dollar paid by Americans has been counted, the government will still overspend by another $1.13 trillion. Every single second of the day our government spends over $12,000. So in the time it takes you to read this article, roughly five minutes, our government has spent $3.6 million. It take four seconds for the government to spend what the average American earns in an entire year." (source: by Tim Phillips 17Sep12 at TownHall.com)
|"Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence … From the hour the Pilgrims landed, to the present day, events, occurrences, and tendencies prove that to insure peace, security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable . . . the very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference – they deserve a place of honor with all that is good." -- George Washington

|It has been suggested that o'who?, the clown, and 'those who surround him' are not the bumbling fools they appear to be. Nor are they one of the 'Three Stooges' but rather are shrewd implementation/drivers and fellow-travelers of policies designed to disarm the citizenry & collapse the American economy. Why? o'nocchio's grandiose scheme to "fundamentally transform America" is more than simple campaign rhetoric as can be seen by his use of "enabling acts" to circumvent the Constitution of the United States.

Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Hall
The re-envisioned Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Hall features an exhibition charting Theodore Roosevelt's journey from a budding naturalist exploring the Museum's halls to an elected leader with a deep commitment to conservation.
At the center of the hall, a new bronze sculpture of Theodore Roosevelt, depicted as he looked during a famous 1903 camping trip to Yosemite with naturalist John Muir, invites visitors to sit next to TR and contemplate his pioneering role in conservation and the vital importance of protecting nature today. Near the sculpture, a new bronze medallion embedded in the floor depicts American bison grazing in Theodore Roosevelt National Park in the North Dakota Badlands with the inscription, "There can be no greater issue than that of conservation in this country," an excerpt from Roosevelt's Confession of Faith speech delivered at the Progressive National Convention in Chicago on August 6, 1912.
The hall's four exhibition areas feature never-before-displayed artifacts from the Museum's collections and examine Roosevelt as the Young Naturalist with an early passion for nature; the Firsthand Observer whose experience as a rancher in the North Dakota Badlands impressed him with the threat of extinction to animals such as the American bison; the Conservation President who took unprecedented action and placed some 230 million acres under federal protection; and the Lifelong Explorer whose post-presidency expeditions took him to an arduous exploration of Brazil's River of Doubt in 1914.
The hall features footage from award-winning filmmaker Ken Burns' The National Parks: America's Best Idea as well as a touch-screen timeline that highlights important milestones in Roosevelt's life and features photo galleries, archival footage, and video interviews with Roosevelt biographers, Museum scientists, and other experts as well as a calendar of related Museum programs.

Major upgrade to LiveWhale, July 15-19
July 15, 2013
As a precursor to our refresh of the website design next month, we are making a major upgrade to our LiveWhale content management system over the next few days. We apologize for any temporary issues associated with the work.
Because of the size of the project, we will have to turn off LiveWhale editing for a while, perhaps as long as 72 hours.
The upgrade includes:
- launching the new Profiles module to handle bios
- streamlining the multiple ways page titles are created into one
- rebuilding the "Go" URL-shortening service
- rebuilding redirects and how the 404-error message works
- rebuilding the software running the events TV screens
- allowing departments to edit their own contact information
- …and more!
Contact me at email@example.com with questions.

Good morning everyone,
I've just re-opened the forums after a 24 hour planned downtime. This past week, we had experienced issues with the site returning blank pages. This prompted me to take the forums down not only to fix this particular issue, but to take care of other overarching problems. At the root of the problems was the site's age.
Stormspire.net is now 6.5 years old. Since 2010 the forum software (vBulletin) has been upgraded several times. Each upgrade requires us to bring smaller modules up to date. A module is a small "addon" that improves forum functionality/appearance, such as the tagging system, application forms, etc. Some of these modules were not compatible on upgrade, necessitating workarounds and/or temporary fixes. More pressing was the fact that some older modules had potential security flaws which prompted the immediate closure of the forums.
The good news is that the forum software is in better shape than ever. For the techies; we've updated PHP, vBulletin, most modules, and our themes. We also switched from VBSEO to DBSEO, and shed every module that might cause security issues.
The bad news is that we've lost some minor features. The roster module is gone, as is the paid referral module that some of you used. All referral balances have been recorded and will be paid out accordingly.
No doubt there will be some minor issues moving forward. If you find any, please do report them.
If you're still experiencing issues with blank pages, try clearing your cache and cookies.
Thanks for your patience and enjoy the forums!

The Phillies inconceivably stand three games back of a postseason berth for a multitude of reasons. The best explanation for how a team, once considered dead by many of its members, is luck and good timing.
Dissect it, and you'll see an old trend.
Their starting pitchers have a 3.01 ERA in their last 29 games. The Phillies have a 20-9 record during that stretch. It was the unit that brought so much success and a celebrated moniker in 2011.
It is what they must ride if this miracle of a comeback is to actually happen.
Tonight, in Houston, a 25-year-old junkballer named Tyler Cloyd takes the ball on short rest. He's the first Phillies pitcher asked to start on short rest this season. Even against a moribund squad like the Astros, there is still danger.
With days off, the Phillies can massage their rotation so that Cloyd makes only two more starts after Thursday, both against middling National League East teams.
9/13 @HOU: Cloyd
9/14 @HOU: Hamels
9/15 @HOU: Kendrick
9/16 @HOU: Halladay
9/17 @NYM: Lee
9/18 @NYM: Cloyd
9/19 @NYM: Hamels
9/21 vs. ATL: Kendrick
9/22 vs. ATL: Halladay
9/23 vs. ATL: Lee
9/25 vs. WAS: Hamels
9/26 vs. WAS: Kendrick
9/27 vs. WAS: Halladay
9/28 @MIA: Lee
9/29 @MIA: Cloyd
9/30 @MIA: Hamels
10/1 @WAS: Kendrick
10/2 @WAS: Halladay
10/3 @WAS: Lee
10/5 WILD CARD: Hamels
It's not a terrible scenario; every pitcher is going on regular rest (or extra rest in some instances). That has Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee pitching on the two final days of the season and Cole Hamels in line for a wild card one-game playoff start on regular rest.
A tiebreaker complicates things. If the Phillies tie another team for the second wild card berth, that tiebreaker is played Thursday. Home field is decided by season series records.
The Phillies had a winning record against three contenders:
vs. ARI: 4-2
vs. LAD: 2-5
vs. MIL: 5-2
vs. PIT: 3-4
vs. STL: 5-2
That means tiebreakers against Arizona, Milwaukee and St. Louis would be played at Citizens Bank Park on Thursday, Oct. 4. If the Phillies tie Los Angeles or Pittsburgh, the game is on the road.
Then, should the Phillies win a tiebreaker, the wild card one-game playoff is Friday, Oct. 5, probably in Atlanta. So the travel schedule, theoretically, could look like such:
Oct. 3 at Washington
Oct. 4 at Los Angeles
Oct. 5 at Atlanta
Such a situation would necessitate starters on short rest to avoid using Cloyd. Hamels would pitch the tiebreaker on three days' rest with Kyle Kendrick starting the one-game playoff on three days' rest.
Of the six contenders (yes, we'll include Arizona), Arizona and St. Louis are tied for the softest remaining schedule by opponents' winning percentage.
STL: .464 -- 9 home (3 WAS, 3 CIN, 3 HOU), 10 road (4 LAD, 3 CHC, 3 HOU)
ARI: .464 -- 12 home (3 SFG, 3 SDP, 3 COL, 3 CHC), 7 road (3 SFG, 4 COL)
PIT: .467 -- 9 home (3 CIN, 3 ATL, 3 MIL), 11 road (4 NYM, 4 CHC, 3 HOU)
PHI: .493 -- 6 home (3 WAS, 3 ATL), 13 road (3 WAS, 3 NYM, 3 MIA, 4 HOU)
MIL: .504 -- 9 home (3 SDP, 3 NYM, 3 HOU), 10 road (4 WAS, 3 CIN, 3 PIT)
LAD: .532 -- 10 home (3 SFG, 4 STL, 3 COL), 9 road (3 WAS, 3 CIN, 3 SDP)
St. Louis heads to Los Angeles for a four-game series starting Thursday. The Phillies will be watching.

Full TitleA Phase Ib Multi-Cohort Trial of MK-3475 in Subjects with Hematologic Malignancies
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and preliminary effectiveness of the immunotherapy drug MK-3475 (pembrolizumab) in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), Hodgkin lymphoma, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma whose disease has persisted or returned despite treatment with previous therapy. MK-3475 is a protein called an antibody which binds to PD-1, a protein on T cells (a type of white blood cell).
It is hoped that when MK-3475 binds to PD-1, it will "turn on" the T cells and cause the immune system to detect and destroy cancer cells. MK-3475 is given intravenously (by vein).
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:
- Patients must have MDS, Hodgkin lymphoma, or non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has either not responded to standard therapy or has come back despite prior treatment.
- Any serious side effects of previous therapies should have resolved by the time the patient enters the study.
- Patients must be physically well enough that they are fully ambulatory, capable of all self care, and are capable of all but physically strenuous activities.
- This study is open to patients age 18 and older.
For more information and to inquire about eligibility for this study, please contact Dr. Martin Tallman at 212-639-3842.

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to ask if anyone knows what ever happened with the hackiis6.com competition?
To summarize the contest, this is take from slashdot.org:
"Starting May 2nd and going until June 8th, the server located at http://www.hackiis6.com/ will welcome hackers to attack it. If you can deface the web site or capture the "hidden" document, you win an X-box! Read contest rules for what does and doesn't constitute a successful hack. We've tried to be as realistic as possible in what constitutes a successful hack, and in mimicking a basic HTML and ASP.NET web site."
According to Greg Hughes website, on June 9th, the "Winner (or lack of winner) announced at TechEd in Orlando".
I have googled the heck out of any related terms, but there seems to be no news since about mid-may... I can't even find anything in any of the teched reports or the msdn teched bloggers...
Anyways, if anyone knows I would be very interested =).

Sanitation service may be established by visiting the Customer Service representatives at City Hall. Billing and service questions may also be answered there, by calling (405) 793-5032, or via email.
Residential trash will not be picked up on the following holidays: New Years Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. Trash collection days that fall on these holidays will be collected on the Wednesday of that week. If you have additional questions about your trash service, please call the Moore Public Works Department at (405) 793-5070.
Rules regarding residential service

IPCC honoured with the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize
Phone: +41-22-730-8208/84 e-mail:
A growing and increasingly quantitative literature shows that human settlements
are affected by climate change in one of three major ways:
The most widespread direct risk to human settlements from climate change is
flooding and landslides, driven by projected increases in rainfall intensity
and, in coastal areas, sea-level rise. Riverine and coastal settlements are
particularly at risk (high confidence6),
but urban flooding could be a problem anywhere that storm drains, water supply,
and waste management systems have inadequate capacity. In such areas, squatter
and other informal urban settlements with high population density, poor shelter,
little or no access to resources such as safe water and public health services,
and low adaptive capacity are highly vulnerable. Human settlements currently
experience other significant environmental problems which could be exacerbated
under higher temperature/increased precipitation regimes, including water and
energy resources and infrastructure, waste treatment, and transportation [4.5]
Rapid urbanization in low-lying coastal areas of both the developing and developed
world is greatly increasing population densities and the value of human-made
assets exposed to coastal climatic extremes such as tropical cyclones. Model-based
projections of the mean annual number of people who would be flooded by coastal
storm surges increase several fold (by 75 to 200 million people depending on
adaptive responses) for mid-range scenarios of a 40-cm sea-level rise by the
2080s relative to scenarios with no sea-level rise. Potential damages to infrastructure
in coastal areas from sea-level rise have been projected to be tens of billions
US$ for individual countriesfor example, Egypt, Poland, and Vietnam. [4.5]
Settlements with little economic diversification and where a high percentage
of incomes derive from climate-sensitive primary resource industries (agriculture,
forestry, and fisheries) are more vulnerable than more diversified settlements
(high confidence6).
In developed areas of the Arctic, and where the permafrost is ice-rich, special
attention will be required to mitigate the detrimental impacts of thawing, such
as severe damage to buildings and transport infrastructure (very high confidence6).
Industrial, transportation, and commercial infrastructure is generally vulnerable
to the same hazards as settlement infrastructure. Energy demand is expected
to increase for space cooling and decrease for space heating, but the net effect
is scenario- and location-dependent. Some energy production and distribution
systems may experience adverse impacts that would reduce supplies or system
reliability while other energy systems may benefit. [4.5
and 5.7]
Possible adaptation options involve the planning of settlements and their infrastructure,
placement of industrial facilities, and making similar long-lived decisions
in a manner to reduce the adverse effects of events that are of low (but increasing)
probability and high (and perhaps rising) consequences. [4.5]

The Betrayal of Charity
The Sins that Sabotage Divine Love
By Matthew Levering
Subjects: All Theology
Love was at one time a powerfully unifying force among Christians. In his letters, Paul consistently evokes charity as the avenue to both human and divine communion. If the magnitude of charity was of the upmost importance to early Christians, so were those sins that aimed to distract Christians from acting based on love. Taking seriously the efforts of Paul, and later Thomas Aquinas, to expose and root out the sins against charity, Matthew Levering reclaims the centrality of love for moral, and in fact all, theology.
As Levering argues, the practice of charity leads to inner joy and peace as well as outward mercy, good will, and unity with God and neighbor. The sins against charity—hatred, sloth, envy, discord and contention, schism, war and strife, and sedition and scandal—threaten love's concrete effects by rebelling against dependence on God and undermining interdependence on others. The Betrayal of Charity seriously considers the consequences of each of the sins against love, compelling individuals and communities to recognize their own loss of charity. In doing so, Levering fosters a spirit of restoration and reminds readers that love—not the sins against it—will have the last word.
1. Is Charity Violent?
2. Hatred and the God of Israel
3. Sloth and the Joy of the Resurrection
4. Envy and God-Reliance
5. Discord, Contention, and Ecclesial Peace
6. Schism and Liturgical Mediation
7. War and the Interpretation of Scripture
8. Scandal, Scapegoats, and Spiritual Downfall
"The Betrayal of Charity: The Sins That Sabotage Divine Love is a piece of scholarship that is unique and creative in its approach and well worth reading. It offers the reader an engaging, scholarly treatment of sins against love and how these sins relate to current issues."
—Perry J. Cahall, Pontifical College Josephinum, The Thomist
"Levering is by now at the forefront of the younger generation of Catholic theologians in America. The Betrayal of Charity provides a profound treatment of particular patterns of sin together with a proper placement of those patterns within the grammar of love. A lovely and intellectually stimulating book."
—Paul J. Griffiths, Warren Chair of Catholic Theology, Duke Divinity School
"The Betrayal of Charity is spirited and engaging. Levering addresses very worthy interlocutors—including Hays and Schwartz—and gives them a good run for their money."
—Gary Anderson, Professor of Old Testament/Hebrew Bible, University of Notre Dame
"Levering's account of love brings Aquinas' moral theology alive for contemporary readers. The Betrayal of Charity sets up a rich dialogue with the biblical texts, as well as Jewish, Protestant, and secular accounts of the virtues and the vices that contradict them."
—Brian Brock, Lecturer in Moral Practical Theology, University of Aberdeen and author of Christian Ethics in a Technological Age
"Levering demonstrates that 'contemplating charity in light of its opposites' will deepen our understanding of the primary theological virtue. This work of moral theology takes scripture and Thomas Aquinas as chief sources for insightful reflections on hatred, sloth, envy, discord, schism, violence and scandal. Levering's brilliance lies in clearing away the sins that sabotage divine love through critical readings of Christianity's critics."
—The Christian Century
Matthew Levering is Perry Family Foundation Chair of Theology at Mundelein Seminary. His most recent publications include Jewish-Christian Dialogue and the Life of Wisdom, Christ and the Catholic Priesthood, Participatory Biblical Exegesis, and Biblical Natural Law. He lives in Mundelein, Illinois.

Armando Sanchez has had his green card for more than two decades.
The beat-up card in his wallet has allowed the 43-year-old Charlotte, N.C., construction worker to keep a job, open a line of credit and buy a home. He travels back to Mexico twice a year to see his children.
While he sees the appeal of becoming a U.S. citizen, it has not been a major priority. What is most important, he says, is that he doesn't have to worry about a late-night knock at the door by immigration agents looking to deport him.
He's not alone. An overwhelming number of Latino immigrants, 61 percent, feel it's more important to live and work in the country legally without the fear of deportations than getting a pathway to citizenship, according to a new study released Thursday by the Pew Hispanic Center.
The findings could signal an opening for compromise between Democrats and Republicans on the most controversial aspect of the immigration debate.
Few issues in the conversation over immigration stir up emotions as much as the debate over whether to provide those here illegally with a path to citizenship.
Many Democrats see such an option as a basic American principle to provide equal rights and prevent the creation of a second-class community. Many Republicans see it as rewarding those who broke the law with one of the most coveted prizes.
But many of those same Republicans have indicated they'd be open to legal status alone.
"This is a huge opportunity for compromise in immigration reform in 2014," said Alex Nowrasteh, an immigration policy analyst at the libertarian Cato Institute.
The House of Representatives is expected to take up a series of immigration bills as early as January, including one that would provide many of the 11 million undocumented the legal right to live and work in the United States. It would not create a special pathway to citizenship, but it also likely would not bar people permanently from becoming citizens.
Not all immigrants want to become citizens.
Only 44 percent of Latino immigrants in the country legally have become citizens, according to another Pew Hispanic study earlier this year. Even fewer legal Mexican immigrants, 36 percent, have become naturalized.
Sanchez came to the United States with his family as a child. He benefited after President Ronald Reagan signed sweeping immigration legislation in 1986 that granted nearly 3 million undocumented immigrants so-called amnesty.
There are a lot of benefits to being a resident, particularly the ability to work, Sanchez said.
Citizenship would be great, and he plans to become naturalized. But when he thinks of his undocumented friends and the risks they take going to the grocery store or driving to and from work, he asks whether everything has to happen all at once.
"In the future, in a few years, the laws can change again," Sanchez said. "Right now, people want to relax. They don't want to be afraid."
Advocacy and union groups that insist on a path to citizenship charge that it's a fundamental principle of the United States, and that failing to grant such rights sentences immigrants to second-class lives.
But Nowrasteh notes there are some 10 million people who choose to live in the United States with green cards. And there are millions living and working in the United States on work permits who do not have the same rights as citizens.
If immigration overhaul does fail, it's not just Republicans who have political capital to lose among Latinos.
While a greater percentage of Latinos (43 percent) say they would blame Republicans for a failure to pass an overhaul, a large portion, 34 percent of Latinos, say they would hold President Barack Obama and Democrats responsible, according to the Pew study.
Almost 400,000 people are being deported each year under the Obama administration. Mark Lopez, a co-author of the Pew Hispanic Report, said Latinos are largely disappointed with how the Obama administration has handled deportations.
"This is something that many Hispanics adults, particularly immigrant adults, are paying attention to _ what's going on with deportations," said Lopez, citing previous Pew studies. "They're aware (deportations) are high under the Obama administration. And . . . they disapprove of that."
Before the group dismantled earlier this year, a bipartisan team of House members that included Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Fla., and Rep. Raul Labrador, R-Idaho, was close to introducing a bill that would have granted legal status to many of the nation's estimated 11 million illegal immigrants but no new path to citizenship, according to those involved in the discussions.
No one would have been barred permanently from citizenship, but they'd be eligible only via pathways that already are available to any other immigrants, including marriage, family or employment-based sponsorships.
Some immigration advocacy groups pushing for an overhaul have left wiggle room for compromise. Frank Sharry, the executive director of America's Voice, one of the strongest proponents for a comprehensive overhaul, said last month that groups could work with Republicans if they offered proposals "that would, in fact, allow for normal channels to be used by undocumented immigrants in America (to attain citizenship)."

Many make long trek to catch drag racesBy JASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent June 20. 2013 10:59PM

EPPING — Seventy-year-old Sunny Monat has always been a fan of drag racing.
"I'm old enough to remember going to the drags at Orange Airport in Massachusetts when you rode with your boyfriend in the car that was dragging and kept your fingers crossed that it drove home and took everybody back where they came from," the South Hadley, Mass., woman recalled with a laugh as she and her family arrived at New England Dragway on Thursday for the start of this weekend's inaugural Auto-Plus NHRA New England Nationals.
Thousands of fans are expected to pack the dragway for the Mello Yello Drag Racing Series' first stop in New England.
It's a big deal for people like Monat, who will make the four days of racing a family event with her husband, Wayne, 66, her daughter, Christina Sibley, 38, and son-in-law, John, 42.
The family has been to New England Dragway before, but the closest National Hot Rod Association event they've ever attended was at Raceway Park in Englishtown, N.J.
Sibley has been attending motorsports events since she was a kid and enjoys the "horsepower" behind the races.
"I don't know what it is, but it's an addicting thing," she said.
Many fans made the six- to eight-hour drive from New Brunswick, Canada, to catch the races.
Among them were Tim and Laurie Boone, who said they enjoy the "thrill" of drag racing and the atmosphere.
NHRA fans Jim and Marla Johnson also drove from New Brunswick.
"We usually catch most of our NHRA on television, so we don't get to see many live events. We do have some tracks in the Atlantic Provinces that we go to, but you don't see the caliber of racing like we're seeing here," Jim said.
Like other fans, he's drawn to the noise and the smell of the rubber.
"This is a chance for us to see high quality racing," his wife said.
Mark Hendron of Tewksbury, Mass., said he's always wanted to see the pros at an NHRA event but the closest they've ever come was to New Jersey.
"I think it's great that they finally came up here. This is something I've never seen in person before. I've only seen it on TV. I've never seen the pros doing a quarter-mile in three seconds," he said.
Hendron brought his sister-in-law, Annette Scott of Malden, Mass., along for races. This is the first time she's ever seen a drag race.
"I've done the NASCAR and the stock cars at Star, but I've never seen this. This is awesome," she said.
Don and Linda Newton of Torrington, Conn., often travel to NHRA races and were glad to finally have a big race in New England.
"Every other race we've gone to we've had to fly," Linda said.
While he enjoys watching, her husband also likes getting behind the wheel of his '67 Ford Mustang and racing in "nostalgia shows."
"It's an adrenaline rush. It's the most fun I've ever had, unless something breaks," he said, laughing.

With this week's release of the customer preview of Office 2013, Microsoft leaves no doubt about its vision of a world filled with web-connected tablets running Windows 8 and collaboration on documents created with Office 365 and 2013 and stored on SkyDrive. The new productivity suite is widely rumored to be set for release early next year.
Microsoft sent the CRN Test Center an Intel Core i5-based Samsung Series 7 Slate with 64-bit Windows 8, the latest preview of Office 365 and the credentials for downloading the customer preview of Office 2013, which includes new versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Lync, Project and Visio.
Only the Lync and OneNote betas were developed in Metro style; the others run in Windows 8's desktop mode. Still, the apps deliver a consistent interface that has enhanced touch capabilities, tablet-specific controls and integrated Internet-based storage and social networks.
Here's a closer look at the major modules.

CHS' 4-2 victory over St. Joseph: Benton Saturday, the sixth-year program's first-ever postseason victory, sends No. 2 seed in 4-team tourney into Monday titla match against No. 4 seed Savannah Tuesday
For the first time ever, Chillicothe High School's soccer Lady Hornets have experienced a postseason victory.
The Lady Hornets, in their sixth year of existence, defeated St. Joseph: Benton a fourth time in 2012 Saturday, this time by a 4-2 count.
By doing so, they advanced to Tuesday's championship match of the 4-team Class 2 District 16 tournament, where they'll face fellow Midland Empire Conference member Savannah.
Having edged Benton twice by one goal — in overtime once — and once by a 3-1 margin, the Lady Hornets matched the larger spread in the action at Lafayette's Alumni Stadium. No match details had been reported at the time of this story's posting Saturday night.
By virtue of their seventh win in 19 matches this season, the Chillicothe girls — seeded second in the small field — move on to face the lowest seed, Savannah, for the district title at 5 p.m. Tuesday. Savannah nudged aside top-seeded host Lafayette 2-1 Saturday.
The regular season's only meeting between the District 16 finalists came at Savannah May 3. Chillicothe lost that match 2-1 in a second round of penalty-kicks shootout. After each team scored once in regulation time, the Lady Hornets tying the contest early in the second half on Kylie Barton's long shot. Following two scoreless overtime periods, each team converted three of five penalty kicks in the first shootout segment, forcing another. Savannah then scored three more times, while Chillicothe, which lost starting goalkeeper Cyrsten Lollar to a season-ending injury during the match, hit only one of four.
Savannah defeated Chillicothe in the first round of district play last year.

**** (out of four)
When Quentin Tarantino delivers a violent cartoon like (the highly entertaining) "Kill Bill: Vol. 1," no one bats an eye. "Sure, chop off as many limbs as you want," viewers think. "We're all just kidding around."
Yet when a filmmaker depicts the ugliness of brutal violence, people reject it. Starring Ryan Gosling in another collaboration with director Nicolas Winding Refn ("Drive," 2011's best movie), "Only God Forgives" was widely loathed at the Cannes Film Festival. This strikes me as the knee-jerk reactions of tired festgoers unwilling or unable to separate a steady, purposeful study of violence's mystery and emptiness from a dull, unpleasant excuse to watch arms chopped and throats slashed.
The viciousness in "Only God Forgives" is punishing, but it's also almost always punishment. Gosling has few lines but considerable opportunity to depict loneliness in his face as Julian, an American who deals drugs in Bangkok—note: the setting makes local shenanigans seem a lot less fun/exotic than the underrated "The Hangover: Part II"—but doesn't even register an expression while watching his favored prostitute (Yayaying Rhatha Phongam) pleasure herself. He's escaped from a terrible past into a terrible present, surrounded by merciless criminals and an awful older brother in Billy (Tom Burke), who begins a deadly sequence (which quickly includes his own gruesome end) after raping and killing a 16-year-old girl. Upon hearing what her late, preferred son did, Julian and Billy's appalling mom (Kristin Scott Thomas, an inspired choice) says, "I'm sure he had his reasons."
The line's meant to be funny and shocking. Throughout "Only God Forgives," Refn (who wrote the script) considers the concept of what it even means for people to get what they deserve. The filmmaker's slow movement down ominous hallways and nightmare-like atmosphere recall "The Shining"; in many ways "Only God Forgives" is a horror story about the hideous things people say and do and the cyclical nature of revenge that would be comical if the actions weren't so difficult to watch.
Those willing to give the film a chance should find Refn's compositions consistently striking. He uses no more dialogue than he needs and again makes great use of a Cliff Martinez ("Drive," "Spring Breakers") score. The filmmaker offers no answers, only haunting questions: What drives people like this, and could any happy ending really be considered happy?
Chang (Vithaya Pansringarm), an endlessly cruel cop who's not without a sense of priority, demonstrates a love of family and singing as Refn questions our perception of someone who does what he does. He wants us to recognize the extremeness in "Only God Forgives" and feel like the innocent women Chang tells to close their eyes while he unleashes something nasty: They look away, but it doesn't mean it's not happening. And they still hear the screams.

Flexner on Finishing: Gel Varnish
The (almost) perfect compromise.
By Bob Flexner
Pages: 74-76
From the December 2009 issue #180
Buy this issue now
Most woodworkers do their finishing with one of two wipe-on/wipe-off finishes: oil/varnish blend or wiping varnish.
Oil/varnish blend is a thinned mixture of boiled linseed oil or tung oil with alkyd or polyurethane varnish. You can buy it commercially (often labeled "Danish oil") or you can make your own – for example, one part oil, one part varnish and one part mineral spirits.
Wiping varnish is alkyd or polyurethane varnish thinned a quarter to a half with mineral spirits to make the finish easy to wipe on and off the wood. You can buy it commercially (rarely labeled for what it is) or you can make your own by thinning any varnish or polyurethane.
Both finishes are easy to apply and produce near-perfect results. But they differ significantly in sheen and water resistance.
Oil/varnish blend produces a pleasing satin or "rubbed" sheen, but the finish is too thin to be water-resistant. This is because all coats have to be thoroughly wiped off or the finish dries tacky.

Alert neighbor spots men entering nearby building
MANCHESTER - An alert neighbor of a Central Street home spotted two men coming and going from a nearby address, became suspicious, and called police, with the men soon arrested for burglary.
The incident happened Wednesday about 11 a.m. when Officer James Powers met with a resident who directed him to a house across the street. The neighbor reported two men entering and exiting the building several times.
Police surrounded the house, and Powers along with Officers Tom Dubois and Darren Murphy were able to apprehend the two men at the rear door.
Arrested for burglary were Brian Shuman, 21, and Edwin Almonte, 18, both of 537 Central St., Manchester, who lived next door and according to police were taking the X-Box games and controllers from the home. Officers said they also learned the two had broken into the home the day before and taken the X-Box console.
Both were charged with burglary.

TECATE, Mexico (AP) — The Mexican army says it has found a new tunnel dug by drug smugglers under the border with the United States.
The army says it found the tunnel under construction in a water-purification plant in Tecate, across the border from a mostly rural area of Southern California.
Soldiers arrested eight people during the operation and confiscated a small amount of marijuana.
The tunnel was about five feet in diameter and 135 yards long, with a concrete floor and ventilation and electric lighting.
U.S. and Mexican authorities have discovered a series of similar border tunnels in recent years.

For the first time in more than a year, the LA Galaxy will return to Buck Shaw Stadium to face the San Jose Earthquakes and in the build up, few on either side have forgetten what happened the last time the two teams met on the campus of Santa Clara University.
The match on June 25, 2011 ended in a scoreless draw, but will remembered for the actions of Mike Magee, who helped the Galaxy hold the draw after being forced in between the pipes after an injury to starting goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts and a red card to back up Josh Saunders.
In my latest feature for LAGalaxy.com, I revisit Magee's heroics at Buck Shaw. Read the piece here.

Game Day Recon #73 – Coyotes @ Canucks
Mike Gillis has done a fantastic job building the depth for the defense. And that work paid off this year, as the Canucks have been decimated on their blueline, with every top 8 defensemen missing time this year due to injury.
Now they face a tough test of their offensive depth, as Manny Malhotra is out indefinitely with an eye injury. Malhotra has some big faceoff-winning shoes to fill. Who will fill those shoes?
We'll find out for the first time tonight, as the Canucks host the Coyotes and play their first game this year without their leading faceoff man.
Broadcast Info
Game Time: 7:00 PM PT
The Intel
The Phoenix Coyotes wrap up a four-game road trip tonight here in Vancouver. They come in to town on quite a roll, winners of four straight and have dropped only 1 point in their last six games. Their only lost point came in their OT home loss to Vancouver on March 8th (Thanks again, Dan Hamhuis!). Most importantly, they're winning by scoring goals, with 23 goals over their past 6 games. While that seems surprising (at least it seemed surprising to me), know that the Coyotes are 8th in the league in goals per game. Why that's strange is that they don't have a 20 goal scorer. Doan, Korpikoski, Vrbata and Pyatt lead the team in goals, each with 17 this season. And they have 11 players with 11 goals or more. Compare that to the Canucks who have only 9 players with 10 goals or more… and the Canucks lead the league in goals. The Coyotes are the embodiment of "scoring by comittee".
What's surprising is that the Dave Tippett-coached team has given up an alarming number of goals. Their 9th in the west with 204 goals-against and are 7th amongst current Western playoff teams (just ahead of Calgary). So for all the goal scoring they seem to have, they're giving up a lot of goals. They have a mere +5 in goal differential, which again ranks them 7th among current Western playoff teams (+3 ahead of Dallas).
This doesn't happen very often, but it's always interesting to me when it does. So far, the Canucks and the Coyotes have played three times this season, and the away team has won all three games. Couple that with the current roll that the Coyotes are on, and that doesn't bode well for the Canucks tonight. However, the Coyotes are at the end of a road trip, are about to play 3 games in four nights, tonight is the second half of back-to-back games, and they had to travel from Edmonton to get here. The Coyotes are only 6-6-2 in the second half of back-to-backs. So all of those actually bode quite well for the Canucks.
Something else that bodes well for the Canucks is the Coyotes terrible special teams record. They're ranked 23rd on the power play and 26th in penalty killing. Normally this would be a good stat on its own. But with the Canucks playing their first game without Manny Malhotra, their best faceoff guy and key penalty killer, tonight should be a bit of a soft intro into playing the PK with Malhotra. The Coyotes should be tired and will likely take more penalties than they draw. Even though the Canucks have won their division and are almost guaranteed to win the conference, they now have a new challenge to play through. Sure, the defense is coming back slowly but surely with Bieksa likely due back next week, and Alberts nearing the end of his recovery period. Now they have to deal with a valuable, depth forward out indefinitely. Tonight will be a good test to see how the Canucks can deal with a new adversity – a great test for a team with little else to play for now.
The Three Keys
Here are the three keys for the Vancouver Canucks tonight:
1. Skate! The Canucks don't play again until Wednesday so they'll have ample time to rest after tonight. They face a team playing their third game in four nights and back to back games. The Coyotes should be tired, and the Canucks have had a good schedule lately. They need to outskate the Coyotes, which will draw penalties.
2. Doan, Korpikoski, Belanger. Watch this line. They played very well in their last game against the Canucks, looking quite dangerous on many of their shifts.
3. Play safe in your own zone. Without their leading faceoff man, and defensive zone specialist, the Canucks need to be careful in their own zone. 1-2 passes out of the zone and north-to-south passes. Nothing across the goal, and nothing east-to-west. Don't cause your own problems.
