Revolution's clean and effective campus rungs come in a pack of 6 with instructions and all mounting hardware. Campus rungs are an essential training aid for finger and arm strength.
Why is it called Campus Board? Because the original Campus Board was hung at a gym in Nuremberg, called Campus. Between athletes who were pumping iron to become bigger, Wolfgang Gnllich started to become stronger.
In 1988, Wolfgang Gnllich invented the first Campus Board to improve his finger strength for his hardest project, Action Directe, 9a. Wolfgang Gnllich, the sport student, transfered the effective and established workout systems and theories of traditional sports into his Campus Board workout and achieved his goal - in September 1991 he climbed Action Directe, the benchmark 9a.

text: I didnt get to see Anomalia, I cant load youtube because I dont have high speed internet access...it would take atleast an hour. These are all beautiful pictures. I wish I had some pics to show you out of my book, some of these are in there as well. I love the black holes too, and the first forming stars, so many colors, it really is out of this world. My oldest son, who has autism, and I were out on the deck one night watching the stars together and he pointed at the northstar and said, look mom, theres old pa pa.

Also, the issue with Axl and WttJ in GH3 was that Axl didn't get any of the royalties from the track being in the game, so that kind of irked him. While Axl owns the rights to GnR, the entire band owns the rights to the songs. So if the song is in a game, it requires the approval of all members of the band and they would all get the royalties from the deal.
I really liked the new album, and I'm very happy with it. If we ever get more I'll be just as happy, but as of now, the new album and all the rest of my dlc just suits me just fine. I got a ton of music to play.
Amy Sue Henslee (my sister) 1-24-11, Beebe Jr Beebe got life for her murder(Thank You God), may you rest in Peace Amy, we miss you still.
I hope we get appetite, but there's no way it's going to be on rbn. That would be a huge album. I'm sure hmx would chart it.
if axl sticking it to slash = appetite for full album axl can stick it to him GOOD.

Not worth the $$$
By Jen P.
from Eastchester NY
About Me First Time Parent
Comments about Kids II 1001174 Baby Einstein Sweet Sea Dreams Mobile:
It constantly turns itself off, remote only works if you are within 5ft and sometimes not even then.When it is set to play music mode, the water mode will come on instead and i have to repeatedly hit if off and on until music plays
Comment on this review
By Mrs. mom
from Monterey, CA
About Me Parent of Two or More Children
Songs are soothing to my daughter (day/night). It does not light up at night. But it does not bother my daughter, plus I do not want my baby entertained at night. Mobile has a ocean, chirping and classical piano music. Music plays for about 30 minutes. The mobile is also very colorful that it gets my daughter's attention. 7 months later I still have it attached to her crib, but will have to remove it when she sits up on her own. But she will still be able to listen to the music. I think I am going to remove the dolls and give them to her to play with.

Baby Einstein Sweet Sea Dreams Mobile by
By Nicole
from clearwater, Florida
OMG!!! What a frustrating product....we bought it because it was advertising that it Plays Music, Attaches to Crib, Volume Control, Soft Lights..it does with the exception that there are NO SOFT LIGHTS!! How is my son going to SEE the DARN thing at night? very disappointed by this product....we had to get a second mobile with lights...however that being said, the music on the second mobile isn't as good as Baby Einstein.....very upset!!
Not worth the money
By Djp
from katy, TX
I purchased the mobile because it said it had a dimming light as well as the music/sound. Open the product & put it together...not only did it look extremely cheap, it's "dimming light" is the battery life indicator. I purchased the mobile so my baby could actually see it. How is a baby going to be soothed by a mobile in a pitch dark room that is impossible to see!?! Needless to say I'm returning it. If you're looking for a mobile for the sounds/music, it's nice (but I already have 4 sound machines for her). Again, not worth the money.

Great Buy
By muldrs
from Grand Rapids, MI
About Me First Time Parent, Stay At Home Parent
We have struggled to get our 3 month old to sleep in his crib because he loves his swing so much. He loves to lay under his mobile (the one that I purchased to match his crib bedding) but you have to crank it every 30 seconds which gets really annoying. I wanted to try this mobile because 1) it was battery operated, 2) it had a dimming feature that would dim the music to get the baby to wind down and drift off to sleep. This mobile has worked perfectly and our son has slept in his crib ever since we hooked it up. The music is also nice as opposed to some other mobiles on the market. This mobile is worth every penny we spent on it just based on getting our son into his crib instead of sleeping in his swing. The low battery indicator is really nice to have because there are no surprises at nap time with the batteries being dead.As for getting it attached to the crib, we have a convertible crib and the strap that goes around the frame works great as long as you pull the strap tight enough. The first time we put it on it wiggled a little lose but my husband pulled it tight and it doesn't move anymore. Our crib has a very wide flat ledge which was hard to fit other mobiles on. As for the comment about clicking, I noticed that it clicked the first time (when it was leaning over), once we got it snug and upright the clicking stopped. The piece that turns the mobile was having a hard time turning because the mobile was not level.

Clicking louder than music
By Prepared First Time Mom
from MS
LIKE: 1. The way the mobile attached to the crib, it is really made for ANY crib railing which was very nice and sturdy. 2. Music was soothing and relaxing. 3. Remote control feature.DISLIKE: 1. CLICKING WHILE MOBILE WAS TURNING. It was so loud you could hear it over the music. This was super annoying to me and I could only imagine how it would be for a baby to listen to that trying to go to sleep!We replaced this mobile with the Fisher-Price Peek-A-Boo Leaves Musical Mobile and we love it. The music is so soothing and quiet and the mobile makes NO noise!

Why Im a Member
2010 Ted Scripps Leadership Institute Participants
Membership in the Society of Professional Journalists allows me an opportunity to network with my peers, learn and benefit from their knowledge, and share my own personal experiences in the industry. Particularly in this environment, a cohesive organization like SPJ offers hope and support for journalists.
Tom Haraldsen, Utah Headliners Chapter
If one thing is certain in this life, its that not much is certain. But Society of Professional Journalists offers certainty in an uncertain world and an uncertain field. While the future of journalism is uncertain, SPJ cements the certainty of values and standards to young journalists.
Caitlin Giddens, Baylor University
As a second-generation member I began reading Quill from an early age. Later, it was a no brainer when I was invited to join SDX (as it was then) as a senior at the U. of Missouri. My membership allowed me to keep in touch with the journalism community through the years, and now Im enjoying the challenge of helping build a new chapter in New Mexico.
David L. Brown, New Mexico Pro Chapter (Joined 3/27/61)
The Society of Professional Journalists not only sets a standard for ethical journalism but reflects my personal values honesty, transparency, open communication, minimizing harm, public education and acknowledging and correcting your own mistakes. As an SPJ member, I better myself through personal and professional connections within the organization.
Madeline Novey, Colorado State University
I am a member of SPJ because of the opportunity it gives to students to meet and learn from distinguished professional journalists. SPJ provides the opportunity to meet and interact with other journalism students from across the country, and is a channel to improve ones present and future.
Ashlan Williams, Lipscomb University
I have stayed involved in SPJ because of all of the opportunities given me. I have gotten a chance to attend regional and national conferences and learn all about current trends in journalism. I have also helped bring greater awareness for the First Amendment at IU through SPJ.
Elvia Malagon, Indiana University (Bloomington)
Why am I a member of SPJ? Thats easy. College can seem so structured that sometimes you wonder if what you learn in class is even applicable to the real world. SPJ is that liaison between I need to memorize the First Amendment and Why the heck does the First Amendment matter to me?
Julianne Feller, Ithaca College
SPJ reaches out to all forms of journalism. No form of journalism is separate and everyone is welcome. We all have something that we can learn from everyone and it is a national organization where everyone is looking out for everyone. It feels as though I am in my own community of professionals before I even graduate.
Andrea Sauer, West Virginia University
When The College at Brockport created the SPJ chapter I am now part of, I found a basis for the most important aspects of journalism that cant be learned in a classroom. It is a comfort to know that the field I chose to focus on is dedicated to preserving the integrity of the business. In SPJ there is a sense of community for all journalists who value and uphold the same standards of excellence.
Julia Fina, The College at Brockport
SPJ stands behind a Code of Ethics that champions objective journalism. This Code and the network of professional journalists and students involved in SPJ provide passion and support to a changing, uncertain industry. SPJ has enabled me to expand my knowledge of journalism beyond the classroom and newsroom. With this knowledge, I am able to face the unpredictability of the media job market with confidence.
Ashley Hemmy, University of Florida
In this economic era, joining SPJ is one of the few places where an investment will pay off. I joined to expand training opportunities for me and my staff plus build camaraderie among journalists in Northwest Arkansas.
Ray Minor, Northwest Arkansas Pro
Im a member of SPJ because I believe in the code of ethics and thought it would be a good way to make contacts to further my career.
Laurent Bonczijk, Greater Oregon Pro Chapter
The same reasons I list to students interested in joining the chapter are the reason I joined SPJ. The three reasons are meeting professionals, networking with other student journalists and résumé-building.
Evan Tokarz, University of South Florida
I believe in democracy. I believe that in a world where capitalism has more of a say in government than the people that government serves, someone has to take notes, write the stories and provide a platform for discussion. I am a member of SPJ because I believe in journalism and the pursuit of the truth.
Amanda Womac, East Tennessee Pro Chapter
Because I am a professional journalist. Yes, I can be a journalist without being a member, but its hard to claim to be a professional without supporting the professional trade association that fights for journalism.
Lucy Chabot Reed, South Florida Pro Chapter
With every e-mail, seminar and conference from SPJ I am provided an opportunity to advance my knowledge, network and career in journalism. I am a member of SPJ because it makes me a better student, employee and most importantly journalist.
Jerriann Sullivan, University of Central Florida
Why SPJ? Because I believe good journalism doesnt just happen without effort and a free, ethical press is a cause worth fighting for. No other organization works to encourage and defend journalistic principles with a broader base of journalists the way SPJ does."
Dylan Schlossberg, Lyndon State College
Im a member of SPJ because the group puts the important elements that make up journalism in a college campus context. Its crucial that students learn the importance of free speech and journalism early on, and in a style that makes sense to them. SPJ does this.
Katherine Lymn, University of Minnesota
I am a member of SPJ because it holds endless opportunities for those involved. I am a college student and being involved in SPJ has given me connections and career opportunities that I didnt think I would have. SPJ is in high respect for Journalists around the world. And being part of the group I think gives you a great advantage that you cant pass up.
Tamara Hastings, Southeast Missouri State University
While Ive learned so much from my journalism professors, my biggest introduction to the real world of journalism came through SPJ. As a freshman with an undecided major, the connections I made with local journalists through SPJ made me sure that I wanted to someday call myself a journalist.
Meghan Frick, Appalachian State University
Membership in the Society of Professional Journalists allows me to connect with my peers and gives me a sense of community within my profession.
Clay Holtzman, Western Washington Pro

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Following is the daily "Profile America" feature from the U.S. Census Bureau:
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110428/DC91889LOGO)
Profile America - Saturday, October 26th. The chore of doing laundry has plagued households since the advent of clothing and the desire for cleanliness. American ingenuity was brought to bear on the problem on this date in 1858, when Hamilton Smith patented a rotary washing machine. But it was hand-driven and proved to be hard on both the operator and clothes. People continued to use the tub and washboard, even after the first electric washer came along in 1908. A few years later, the agitator-type machine appeared and gained immediate popularity. But people still had to feed clothes through a wringer by hand - an often dangerous job. Finally, in the late 1930s, the fully automatic washer with a spin cycle went on sale. Today, over 101 million of the nation's 130 million housing units have a washing machine. You can find more facts about America from the U.S. Census Bureau, online at www.census.gov.

Extended Summary
Eleven-year-old Eldon lives on a farm in northern Minnesota, on the edge of a forest which reaches clear up to Hudson's Bay. His family of six inhabits a two-story wooden house with white board siding. In the house, under the eaves, there are two rooms. Eldon and his elder brother, Wayne, share one of them. Two "very old" Norwegian men, Uncle David and Nels, occupy the other. Downstairs, there are four rooms—the kitchen, the bedroom where Father and Mother sleep, a dining room that no one ever uses, and a living room, which is comfortably furnished with a sofa, chairs, and a wood stove. The living room is also called the winter room; it is where the family spends much of their time in the winter.
Corn, oats, barley, flax, and wheat are grown on the farm, which spreads over eighty-seven cleared acres. There are two granaries and a barn on the property, which were built before Eldon's grandfather arrived there from the "old country." In the barn, there is a hayloft, a manger, calf pens, a silage pit, and a separator room, where cream is taken from the milk given by the dairy cows and then sold in town. In addition to the cows, the family owns two work horses, Jim and Stacker, who are gentle and so big that Wayne and Eldon must climb up their legs to harness them.
Life on the farm is defined by the seasons. Many people think that spring is a time of awakening, but in Eldon's opinion, springtime is "when everything gets soft and it's an awful mess." The bodies of dead animals that have been thrown in a frozen pile during the winter begin to thaw and draw maggots. The defrosting manure and slop that have collected around the barn is so deep that the cows actually have to lunge through to get to solid ground. The calves are born in early spring, however, and it is because of this that Uncle David calls the season "the best time there is." It is Wayne and Eldon's job to train the new calves to drink from buckets. The boys get the calves to suck on their small fingers, then draw their hands down into the container. Most calves quickly learn in this way to take the milk directly from the bucket.
Summer is a time for work. The season begins when Father takes the plowshares to town to be sharpened. He then goes over and over the fields with them to break down the soil until it is "as smooth as cake batter." Eldon accompanies Mother when she brings Father's lunch out to the fields, and sometimes, when...

The Winter Room is a portrait of idyllic rural life. Its focus is a Minnesota family of six: a husband and wife, their two sons, and two bachelor relatives. Although few dramatic events happen to this family, the book is one of Paulsen's most distinctive and original novels.
The novel has three parts that are interrelated by mood and theme rather than plot. The book opens with a short section entitled "Tuning," a lyric prose poem on the power of books as imaginative experience. The second section is composed of four chapters. Each one paints a portrait of one of the seasons of the year. Arranged like movements in a symphony, these chapters explore how each season brings its characteristic activities to the farm and creates its special feelings in the family. The year described is not a particular year but every year's common and inevitable happenings.
The third section has another four chapters. They are stories told by an uncle as the narrator recalls them. The last one inadvertently leads to the climactic crisis of the novel, a silent schism between the uncle and his nephews. The confrontation is a moment of truth for both sides: the boys learn a secret about adulthood, and their uncle reverses for a moment the irresistible march of time.

Some of Ohio's $400 million plus rainy day fund needs to be sent back to education, according to 92nd Ohio House District Candidate Bob Armstrong.
"There is a $400-million excess in the budget, so none of that money has been offered to be returned to our public schools or our communities," said Armstrong.
The Bainbridge area Democrat believes the state education funding formula is still out of balance and needs attention: "By doing so, that would increase our ability to meet the needs of local communities, businesses would be attracted to communities that have strong public schools, and our economy would be strengthened."
Armstrong, who is a retired educator and former Paint Valley Board of Education member, is running against Republican Gary Scherer, of Circleville.

I'll admit it… I didn't think the Jazz would win this one. I knew they had the skill to beat Orlando, but after an improbable come-back in Miami, I didn't really expect the Jazz to get back out there the following night and bring it against another Eastern Conference power. I was (gladly) wrong, and Jazz fans across the world are in a euphoric (and maybe confused) stupor today.
Here are some quick thoughts from last night's victory in Orlando (set to LL Cool J's "Mama Said Knock You Out")…
"I've been here for years." Deron is amazing. At Miami he was spinning out of triple teams to feed Millsap, and in Orlando he was raising up silky smooth jumpers to seal the game. The man is playing out of his mind right now… distributing well, hitting the right shots at the right time, and just leading his team to hard-nosed, well fought victories. He knows that system, and fans are starting to see the ridiculous upside of this team as the other guys fall in line behind him.
"Mama Said Knock You Out:" Sloan preaches a pick & roll, open jumpshot, cut up the middle, lay-up drill, unrelenting system. People keep asking how the Jazz get back into these games, and "the system" is the answer. The flex allows a well executed offense to hang around through the inherent runs that NBA basketball produces. While iso/catch and shoot systems rely on low percentage shots falling, the flex relies on high percentage looks opening up. So far, Miami and Orlando (even the Clips) have had streaks of hot offense coupled with poor defense from the Jazz. These streaks create gaps in scoring, and make teams feel like they have control, but the flex is a lot like the tortoise in Aesop's fables: It keeps moving at a methodical pace. As the Jazz' defense warms up and opposing offenses flatten out, it's the flex that keeps churning… eating away at leads, and eroding spreads.
"I'm gonna knock you out:" The Miami game was the worst thing that could have happened to the Orlando Magic. It gave the Jazz confidence in a compromising situation… even when they were down 18, they played like a team that knew it could get back in. They just came out, got to work, and showed Orlando what it was like to play Utah Jazz Basketball.
"Don't you call this a regular jam." How about that wacky man-zone the Jazz played in the third? If anyone's ever questioned Sloan's ability to coach, they need to watch that game. Not only did Sloan know when to call the zone up, but the team knew exactly how to execute, and it confused the Magic. The Jazz allowed cutting players space to run around, but as soon as those cutters broke to the perimeter, they was covered. When the covered man passed into the interior, the defense swarmed. There were no open looks, no easy baskets, and Orlando couldn't break the defense in time to regain the ground they'd lost.
"The man of the hour." Millsap was an absolute stud. Again. It wasn't a 46 point performance, and it didn't need to be. Right now Mansap is leading the team in points (23.9), rebounds (10.1) and in steals (1.3). I think a lot of Jazz fans thought that Millsap would produce similar numbers to Boozer, but not better. Well, so far he's been a complete upgrade. It's fantastic.
"Tower(s) of power." Let's talk centers for a second:
- Al Jefferson was legit (21 points on 10-16 shooting, 8 rebounds, and a block). He came out and showed that A) last night's poor performance was a fluke, and B) that he could hang with the big-boy centers in the league.
- Fesenko. How much more comfortable does Fes look this year? I actually get excited when he gets the ball. Williams has done a good job of creating high percentage (high confidence) shot opportunities, but he's also showing marked improvement controlling his body around the basket (including his MUCH improved defense). Besides that, he dwarfed Dwight Howard on the floor. My mind can't comprehend the thought of having a serviceable, strong 7+footer, so I'm not going to talk too much about it, but man… this could be pretty cool if he continues to develop.
"And I'm just gettin' warm." Right now, the Jazz are looking pretty tough. They're letting other GOOD teams have it, and they're winning in style. However, as the season continues, they can't rely on teams letting off the gas once they have the lead and letting them back into the game. Teams like the Lakers, Boston, and a matured Heat aren't always going to give opposing teams those kind of opportunities. The Jazz need to open strong, stay strong, and grind it out. That's the kind of basketball Sloan wants and that will ultimately succeed in a seven game series… and the Jazz are showing great promises of things to come.
"Competition's payin' the price." That's been true on this road trip. Opposing teams have overlooked parts of this Jazz team and they've been embarrassed. No more overlooking, though. If the Miami game didn't do it, last night's did… The Jazz are on people's radar. You can't go and sweep the Florida basketball scene on national TV two nights in a row and not raise some eyebrows. This is the moment the Jazz have been waiting for… time to seize it and prove that this is an elite team in the Western Conference.

Look your the one making up stuff, you know one line from a song and suddenly your an expert on its origins. so go do your study and you will see that is not an IRA song. I speak Irish, I know what it means. You clearly don't. what you have up there is a breakaway group, no relation, they stole the name and I never said the Irish invented rugby but it is very close to what our ancestos played, long long before web ellis, that's a fact. and again why its so popular in celtic nations, Ireland, wales, scotland, france. Almost everybody in new world country's are emigrants, could say the same thing to any european country, land swaps hands thousands of time, I think the Prodestants should be here and they've made great contributions to Irish society from WB.Yates to Arthur Guinness and the biggest irony of all, the founder and father of Irish republicanism "Wolfe Tone", rebellion leaders such as Robert Emmet, their the original republicans, the British themselves see all Northern Irish people as "Irish" and throughout the years polls have shown majority support for being rid of it once and for all but just chewing fat really. Doubt it will ever happen, too many crakcpots like you, polarised to a certain view and unable to see the bigger picture. As for the song, they play the Irish national anthem at Irish rugby games, in the irish capital, so what, big deal. If Belfast was the largest city on the island, and all the players and good rugby came from Ulster and 85% of the islands population was unionists (me being in the minority) and they player orange sash or whatever your song along side the real and official rugby anthem that represents both community's, well honestly I wouldn't give a damn. Get over it! it just so happens to be the opposite way around but who cares, if would stop you guys whinging then they probably should change it, but it would be something new a week later im sure, your obviously just racist, no point saying anymore.

@Ren0o Rugby was invented in Rugby England by Webb-Ellis hence the name of Rugby World cup. I think your trying to change the facts and the events of history in the process. Alot of nationalist do that. They quote that the protestants shouldnt be in Ireland so why are you in New Zealand? Should there be any Irish in America as its been the land of the Native Red Indians for 10,000 years. So in effect the Irish have stolen their land. They have done to the Native Reds Indians which they claim was done to them by the British. The Irish speak with fork tongue as the Native Red Indians would say. Then theres Glasgow a lot of Irish there stealing the land and jobs from the Scottish, then theres Liverpool, Manchester and London. Lots of Irish there stealing the land and jobs of the English. I am afraid your wrong "the soldiers song" is a IRA song. "Soldiers are we born to be free". It is unacceptable to say that it doesnt matter. It truly does. Its a disgrace to say so. So when players from Northern Ireland are in the Ireland team do you think it acceptable to play it. NO it is not. Lets play in Belfast and play the sash or even a UDA/UVF song and lets see if the free staters will be happy. I bet you they would not. The Catholic Church invented Gaelic sports but the truth is no-one else in the world would play them. They have no interest or value and therefore a waste of time and energy. Thats why the Irish play British sports like Cricket, Rugby and Football.

well allan thats just childish, no point responding to most of it but I will say "amhrainn na bhfiann" is not an IRA song, no point going into specifics but its nothing got to do with the IRA and a lot of what they did up North was evil, we'd be the first to admit that, they have no support from us, but it takes two to tango and everybody has blood on their hands, no doubt about that, as for rugby, the England game was just a bad day, that's sports, they've been smashing England nonstop in recent years, its an International sport and historians reckon rugby was much closer to the sports the ancient celts in Ireland played more so than gaelic football or hurling ever were, believe it or not, which would explain its popularity in the Celtic nations, Leinster and Munster are European and therefore Northern Hemisphere club champions four out of the last six years, Their up there with the best in the world, most experts agree, I live in New Zealand and even the Kiwi's respect Munster rugby and think their the only formidable club side in all the Northern Hemisphere, Ulster won one heineken cup 13 years ago, their useless now but your right about one thing, they will come round and I really hope they do and wish them the best, as fan of Irish rugby, Its good for all of us, be nice :)

Ren0o - Ulster Rugby is hopeless you say. England 30 Ireland 9 in the Rugby at the weekend. Whos crowing now? I think you mean Irish Rugby is hopeless. We in Northern Ireland should have our own Rugby team just like the Footy. Leinster and Munster Rugby were hopeless last weekend and an embrassment to Northern Ireland. Of course its easy to forget that the Ulster Rugby team won the European title a few year ago. Everything goes in circles and we will be back. In any event I think Leinster and Munster should stick to the GAA sports as why do they want to play a FOREIGN sport? A sport invented by the British. Seems a sad thing to do after inventing GAA sports. Where is the logic in saying that the soldiers song is only played a 1/3 of the time. Well thats alright then. NO its not. If you insult someone 33.3% of the time it doesnt make it right. Go on try it. Insult your next door neighbour every 1/3 day and see if he will be on speaking terms after a few months. I very much doubt it. The Republic of Irelands National Anthem is a terrorist song and offensive to the Protestant community in Northern or Southern Ireland. Simples to anyone with a titter of common sense.

I have just written 2 comments neither of which will probably get posted. Irish Central are experts at removing everything which disputes their own bigotary and republician views. I ask the question how many reporters or members of staff whom work for Irish Central are from the protestant community and from Northern Ireland. I bet you None or even Zip. Irish Central = Bigotary and propaganda.

I know a lot of so called religious people who leave Roman Catholic mass after been forgiven for their sins who go to the pub afterwards. They get full then go home to the wife. If dinner isnt ready and on the table the wife gets 10 bells of S**t kicked out of her. Good Irish Catholic values. Full of double standards and wrongdoing. Hardly the behaviour of saints or scholars. Fools and idiots more like.

Yertfac - Oh what misguided view you have of life. The Irish National Anthem is a terrorist song. An IRA song is a terrorist song. To not accept that is like saying an al-Qaeda song is not offensive to New Yorkers at ground zero. After all the splinter group who planted a bomb in my home town Omagh in 1998 were supporters of terror. Do you call that freedom. No they were murderers. Indeed they left blood everywhere. Perhaps this is the trial of blood you refer to but i doubt it. The Irish are the biggest stealers of assets everywhere they go. They think they are great but they are fools. They stole the land from the Native North Amercian Indians whilst claiming that the British stole their land. So its ok for them to go to US and steal the assets of the people whom have lived there for 10,000 year. I dont think so. If Ireland was was good why is it broke? The British had to bale your failed state out recently. So you shouldnt bite of the hand that feeds you. As for Nike trainers I think they should make a variety of different colours. Orange ones for the Unionist community, Forty shades of Green for the Nationalist, Dark Green/Fenian Green for the Deep Nationalists and Republians, Mainly Black ones white tops to look like nuns for the catholic religious people, Mainly white ones with a black top to look like Dog Collars for the religious protestant people. Everyone catered for? Problem solved.

Why are we becoming so damned thin skinned about the name of a pair of shoes? We all get what the Black and Tan's were. The shoes have nothing to do with them. We don't have to follow the the feined sufferings of black and hispanic minorities in the U.S. Where is your pride? You're bigger than that. You've overcome, adapted. Now move on. Anyone who looks at the shoes and hear 'Black and Tan' immediately see black and tan shoes. Except me...I thought of the Black and Tan 'Coon Hound...but that's me.

This irks me to no end. Since when was ignorance of the history of a people acceptable as an excuse? I think we Americans have let negative commentary about the Irish ride for far too long. I am A. not an alcoholic B. not currently drunk. C. not a bomb weilding maniac D. beaten by my spouse or E. planning on having even 1 child nevermind 8 of them.
I can have some good hearted laughter at my stereotype but it has gotten out of control here in the states. I don't do it to others and I would appreciate it not constantly being done to me right around the 17th of March every stinkin' year.

I have been wondering for years why the hell we (at least in U.S.) have a drink commemorating this evil group! I agree with one comment comparing it to naming a drink after the KKK. How would this go down? I say call attention to who the Black & Tans were every time someone orders one (ironically - these people often seem to think it is a very "Irish" thing to drinkN - I do my best -even though I get some disgusted looks. Needs to be done!

Who are your people? What is wrong with you? The Black and Tans were let out of Britain's prisons as one last gasp to grind the Irish into the ground. You are stupid and ignorant. So is Nike. The black & tans terrorized the ordinary people of Ireland. They roamed the countryside like maurdering wild dogs. My grandmother told me a gang of them came by her house after she had baked the family bread for the week (no Wonder Bread in those daya) and as was common put it out on the window sill to cool. A gang of b&Ts came around and just took her bread, and laughed right in front of her. When another woman down the road protested their stealing her food, they came back the next day, dragged out her husband and beat him nearly to death. Lovely people they were. As for the national anthem it is not a "Terrorist" song. "Soldiers are we, whose lives are pledged to Ireland..." It is a freedom song from the worst terrorists in the world, the Brits. They left a trail of blood everywhere they occupied. Glad their damn empire is is in tatters. They need to get over themselves.

A bit over the top Alan 07. Keep in mind its only played at home games so with Ireland's call, only one third of the time. Also keep in mind that it represents over 80% of the islands population, is sung in the native language of the island we all share and represents almost all of the players, because, to be honest, ulster rugby is hopeless while Munster and Leinster are arguably the best club sides in the Northern hemisphere. By all right, they could just use the country's national anthem but instead the official rugby anthem has been adopted as Irelands call, for the very concerns you've just expressed. Don't really see the issue and having been consistently going to some of the games in Dublin I've actually started to notice the crowd singing Ireland's call louder even tough its not their anthem and most think its a pretty dumb song. Personally, I think the all-island rugby team is great and its one tradition we can both proudly share with each other, hopefully in the future with some decent contributions from the northys cause we need young blood and the next world cups in England

@allan 07. Hand on my heart Allan, I say to you in all sincerity, I long for the day when there isn't a song, or a saying or, for that matter, a shoe, that will offend, hurt or outrage any Irish person, north or south of the border. Those days have to be over! We have so much more in common than any issue, be it religion, ideology, whatever...than anything that could separate us. When we let go of fear, magic happens! You are my Irish brother, and in this new peace, which came with such a price to all of us, I hope you will open your heart and know that we all have to let the past stay in the past. We raise our children in the same land, on the same soil, with a love for the same country. They are our legacy. I wish you well, Allan, and I hope for all of us the hurt will end and we can live in peace and harmony....as we were always meant to. Peace & Blessings

Getting organized for back to school - how to get a handle on your little darlings paperwork

Get your organization on during this back to school period |
For starters, get yourself some basic supplies. This is the easy part. Clip some of those coupons, go to your store of choice and get yourself:
· A label maker
· A desktop file organizer
· File folders in various colors
· A small storage box for each of your children (note: these can be made rather than bought but I'm not that crafty!)
With supplies in hand, give yourself an hour to:
· Weed through any lingering remnants from the last school year -- in my case, these included a birthday invitation we never RSVP'd to, an expired coupon to a local aquarium and a class list from when our third-grader was a preschooler… proving that I'm not always good at following my own advice!
· Put that label maker to good use. I create a folder for each child in addition to a few extras to corral the mail, menus and miscellaneous papers that arrive via mail, backpacks and, as far as I can tell, by carrier pigeon too!
· Set up a "memory box" for each child – once you do this, you will (hopefully) reuse this box for years to come. In our house, each kid has a box (neatly labeled with his or her name, of course!) and each year we cull through what we've collected, keeping only the most precious of memories – first handprints, first report cards, etc. It's important to recall the items that are NOT worthy of the memory box: random scribbles, spelling tests (even if s/he gets 100!) and ceramics which will break before you even get the lid on. I have several good friends who assure me that when our children are grown and we are gone, they won't be looking for these lost treasures… and needless to say, neither will we!
The last piece of the process is no doubt the hardest – it's making a lasting commitment to control the paper beast. To tackle it daily. To keep only what is critical and to recycle or trash what's not. To actually use your file folders and memory boxes. To keep the paper beast under control -- before it grows big and scary and requires a bonfire to tame it. Although, if all else fails, a bonfire isn't a bad idea… it is, after all, a sure (and welcome!) sign of Fall.

Good ideas to get organized. It's all about organization and control. When I sort through all the paper that fills our mailbox and comes out of my kids' backpacks, I know there must be acres of trees somewhere that were felled just for us. Good thing that a lot of it can go straight into our recycling dumpster.

Biography (Cyclopedia of World Authors, Fourth Revised Edition)
Peru's leading contemporary novelist, Jorge Mario Pedro Vargas Llosa (VAHR-gahs YOH-sah), is regarded as one of the creators (along with such writers as Julio Cortázar, Gabriel García Márquez, and Carlos Fuentes) of the new Latin American novel. Born in the town of Arequipa in southern Peru, Mario Vargas Llosa was the son of Ernesto Vargas Maldonado and Dora Llosa Ureta. His parents were divorced before he was born, and he was taken by his mother to live at Cochabama, Bolivia, with her parents, who spoiled him. When he was nine, he and his mother left for Piura, in northwestern Peru; however, a year later, his parents remarried, and they moved the family to Lima.{$S[A]Llosa, Mario Vargas;Vargas Llosa, Mario}
The pampered and sensitive boy found himself no longer the center of attention. At the Catholic school he attended in Lima, he was younger than most of his classmates and was consequently ridiculed. At home, his artistic activities had to be kept from his father, who (like many Peruvians) regarded writing as no work for a man. For Vargas Llosa, literature became an escape and, as he later described it, a way of justifying his existence. Intending to "make a man of him," Vargas Llosa's father sent his son to a military academy in Lima, the Leoncio Prado. The machismo and brutality he encountered there proved highly traumatic for the...

Biography (Critical Survey of Long Fiction, Fourth Edition)
Jorge Mario Pedro Vargas Llosa was born in Arequipa, Peru, in March of 1936. As a child, he endured an unstable family life, his mother compensating for his having been abandoned by his father. The family moved to Bolivia and later to Piura, a city in northern Peru that would later figure importantly in The Green House and in Captain Pantoja and the Special Service. Eventually, they moved to Lima, where Vargas Llosa was enrolled in the Leoncio Prado Military Academy. The trauma related to his schooling at this military institution found its later expression in Vargas Llosa's first novel, The Time of the Hero.
In 1951, Vargas Llosa began to work for the newspaper La crónica; he would later employ his insight into the journalistic life in Conversation in the Cathedral, Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter, and The War of the End of the World. He studied at the San Miguel School in Piura, and the student strike that he organized there is reflected with unusual immediacy in his short story "Los jefes" ("The Leaders"). He participated more seriously in the literary milieu, collaborating on newspapers and literary magazines, and he, Luis Loayza, and Abelardo Oquendo edited the journals Cuadernos de composición and Literatura. He married Julia Urquidi and saved the delicious parody of his own romance for Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter.

Biography (Magill's Survey of World Literature, Revised Edition)
Jorge Mario Pedro Vargas Llosa (VAHR-guhs YOH-sah) was born in Arequipa, Peru, on March 28, 1936, the son of Ernesto Vargas Maldonado and Dora Llosa Ureta. His parents, who separated before he was born, divorced shortly after, and his mother took him to Cochabamba, Bolivia, where he lived until the age of ten, attending Colegio La Salle. In 1946, his parents sent him to a parochial school, the life of which he portrayed in Los cachorros (1967; The Cubs, in The Cubs, and Other Stories, 1979), a novella. His father, alarmed at Mario's desire to become a writer, decided to enroll him in the Leoncio Prado, a Peruvian government military boarding school, which he attended from 1950 to 1952. At this institution, he was exposed to a brutal reality that marked him to the core. Vargas Llosa transposed his experiences in the Leoncio Prado in his novel La ciudad y los perros (1962; The Time of the Hero, 1966), the publication of which provoked a serious official reaction in Peru. After his two years in the Leoncio Prado, Vargas Llosa completed high school in Piura, where he instigated student unrest and a strike that later served as the basis for his short story "Los jefes" ("The Leaders"). This short narrative won him the Leopoldo Alas Prize in Spain.
In 1953, Vargas Llosa enrolled in the School of Law at...

Biography (Magill's Survey of World Literature, Revised Edition)
Mario Vargas Llosa is one of the most prominent and prolific writers of the literary "boom" in Latin America. His works demonstrate that he has successfully developed a great variety of themes. Social injustice, political oppression that brings about societal decadence, the abuse of human beings, the creative act of writing, the dangers of fanaticism and of utopias, and the intrinsic value found in primitive cultures are some of his major preoccupations. He sees the mission of the Latin American writer as one of a spiritual nature, through which life may become better for all.

Biography (Short Stories for Students)
Mario Vargas Llosa was born on March 28, 1936, in Arequipa, Peru. His family was well to do, and when his parents separated shortly after his birth, Vargas Llosa accompanied his mother to live with her parents. Her father was a diplomat, so many of Vargas Llosa's formative years were spent moving from place to place in Latin America. In 1950, his parents reconciled, and he and his mother went back to live with his father. The father-son relationship was strained, because Vargas Llosa's father believed the boy had been spoiled by his years with his grandparents, and he saw the boy's interest in writing as too feminine. To offset these ''inadequacies,'' he sent his fourteen-year-old son to Leoncia Prado Military Academy. Vargas Llosa considers these years to be among the worst of his life.
Vargas Llosa's years at the academy did not squelch his interest in writing, and when he was older, he longed to travel to Europe to focus on writing. He completed his undergraduate work in literature and law at the University of San Marcos in Lima, Peru, and then earned a grant to study in Spain. While in college, he had married his aunt (by marriage) Julia. The union between the nineteenyear- old man and the thirty-two-year-old woman was a scandal in the family. During his college years, he had supported himself and his wife by securing work as a reporter with local television stations and newspapers. Another important development during his college...

Mario Vargas Llosa was born in Peru and is considered one of Latin America's greatest writers. His first novel, The Time of the Hero, is based on his harrowing time at Leoncio Prado Military Academy where his father sent him as a teenager. Highly influenced by the philosopher Jean Paul Sartre and the writer William Faulkner, Llosa is known for his way of alternating dialogue to show different realities. The main theme he explored in his work was an individual's struggle to find freedom in an oppressive society. His third novel, Conversation in the Cathedral, is considered his masterpiece. It was written in a two-volume edition and deconstructs Peru during the 1950s when the country was essentially a dictatorship.Essential Facts
- Llosa was originally married to his uncle's sister-in-law, Julia Urquidi. His second wife, Patricia Llosa, is his first cousin.
- Llosa wrote a book about celebrated author Gabriel Garcia Marquez, whom he was once a friend with. There was great demand for the book, and it sold out. Llosa has refused to reprint it, and it was never translated into English.
- Llosa wrote Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter about his first marriage. His ex-wife wrote What Little Vargas Didn't Say as a rebuttal.
- Llosa has experimented with many genres including comedy, murder mystery, and political thriller.
- His cousin Luis Llosa is a director and filmed the adaptation of Vargas Llosa's The Feast of the Goat.

Biography (Literature of Developing Nations for Students)
Although born in Arequipa, Peru, in 1936, Vargas Llosa spent his early boyhood with his mother, Dora Llosa Ureta, in Cochabamba, Bolivia, where his grandfather was the Peruvian consul. Vargas Llosa attended a series of schools and led a normal middle-class boy's life until his parents reunited and his father, Ernesto Vargas Maldonaldo, discovered his talent for writing poetry. Fearing for the boy's masculinity, Ernesto moved the family to Lima and sent the boy, in 1950, to attend Leoncio Prado Academy. His two years at the academy formed the basis for a novella as well as his famous first novel, The Time of the Hero.
His first work, however, was a three-act play published in 1952 while finishing high school in Piura. For the next few years, Vargas Llosa published short stories in Peruvian literary reviews. He also co-edited several journals and attended San Marcos University in Lima where he took courses in literature and law. In 1955, he caused a minor family scandal when he married Julia Urquidi—his aunt. They divorced in 1964.
In 1958, he left for Europe and lived for varying periods in Paris, England, the U.S., and Spain. While in France, Vargas Llosa worked on the manuscript that would become The Time of the Hero. This became his first novel in 1962 and won two major awards establishing him as a major Latin American novelist—a stature that would be cemented with his second novel, The Green House (1966).

Health officials are encouraging Saskatchewan residents to protect themselves against influenza this season by getting immunized. Saskatchewan's publicly-funded seasonal influenza vaccine will become available across the province beginning October 9, 2012.
"Vaccines help keep our population healthy by preventing the spread of disease," Health Minister Dustin Duncan said. "We are pleased to offer the influenza vaccine free of charge to our residents through Saskatchewan's immunization program."
While all individuals six months of age and older will be eligible to receive the vaccine as part of this year's immunization program, high-risk groups are especially encouraged to get the influenza vaccine.
High-risk groups for influenza include people with chronic health conditions, people 65 and over, residents of nursing homes and other chronic care facilities, children from six months up to 5 years of age and pregnant women. Vaccination is also encouraged for individuals in close contact with those at high risk of influenza-related complications.
"Influenza is a contagious viral disease of the respiratory system that can be spread by coughing, sneezing or touching surfaces like door handles and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes," Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Saqib Shahab said. "Getting the vaccine is an effective way to stay healthy during the influenza season and we particularly recommend it for those at high risk of influenza-related complications or hospitalization.
"You can also further protect yourself against seasonal influenza and other flu viruses by adopting infection prevention methods such as frequent hand washing, cough and sneeze etiquette, cleaning surfaces often and staying at home when sick."
The publicly-funded (free) vaccine will be available through public health clinics and physicians' offices. Pharmacies and some health care providers may be selling influenza vaccine directly or providing it as part of workplace health programs. Saskatchewan's Ministry of Health does not reimburse individuals or businesses for influenza vaccine purchased privately.
To find the nearest immunization clinic, residents can contact their public health office, physician, health region or call HealthLine at 1-877-800-0002. Information on clinic locations and schedules will also be available on the websites of regional health authorities. For more information on the provincial immunization program and influenza visit the Ministry of Health's website at www.health.gov.sk.ca and Healthline Online at www.healthlineonline.ca.

Indiana's Pritchard Explains Offseason Moves
Posted By Joel Brigham On July 20, 2012 @ 9:58 pm In All,Main Page,NBA | No Comments
The Indiana Pacers are at a turning point both on the court, where they have slowly been transforming into a perennial Eastern Conference powerhouse, and in the front office, where Donnie Walsh and Kevin Pritchard have replaced Larry Bird and David Morway as team president and GM, respectively.
Despite those changes in leadership, the Pacers are still focused on a pretty clear long-term vision.
"Donnie Walsh made it very clear that our goal was to keep the starters together and add to our bench," Pritchard told HOOPSWORLD in Las Vegas. "[Last season's finish] was the fifth-best record in the league. We took Miami pretty far in the playoffs and I think won more games than anybody against Miami."
With that huge step in the right direction—it was Indiana's first playoff series win since 2005—Pritchard and Walsh felt motivated to be aggressive in free agency, both with maintaining their own players and signing some new guys to help them move forward even more in 2012-2013.
All that started by matching a four-year, $58.4 million offer sheet that All-Star center Roy Hibbert signed originally agreed to with the Portland Trail Blazers at the start of free agency. Those are max dollars, which not everyone is certain Hibbert deserves, but Pritchard had an easy defense for keeping Hibbert aboard and making the trade that sent out Darren Collison and Dahntay Jones for backup center Ian Mahinmi.
"We really felt like length helps in the playoffs. You've got to have some size, some bulk, so bringing Roy back was our first priority," Pritchard said.
"With Ian, we get a guy who can play the five and four, he's 6'11", and he's 27 so he's still improving. And everybody says he's a great worker, so we feel lucky to get him."
The Pacers didn't only add big men; this offseason's major moves also included the addition of point guard D.J. Augustin and swingman Gerald Green, both of whom came at very reasonable prices considering their talent.
According to Pritchard, Augustin will probably play a very different kind of a game with the Pacers than he's used to, which was a big selling point in getting him to Indianapolis.
"In Charlotte, he was so looked upon to score, but with us he can be a facilitator, or be in a pick-and-roll and find players, but he doesn't have to go in to score to help us," Pritchard said. "His role will change, but he really embraced that when we talked to him."
Green, meanwhile, had a standout season in New Jersey last year after spending some time in Moscow. He averaged 12.9 points in 31 games for the Nets, but that combined with a great interview convinced the Pacers' brass to give him a long-term shot in Indiana.
"We met with him for a couple of days," Pritchard said. "Kids mature. It's just a part of the business. He's really come a long way, but what I like is that he's really hungry. He's ready to get after it, and we feel like we get a good signing in him. He'll help our bench because he can really score and is super talented. He hasn't put it all together yet, but we hope he can for us."
This could be a year in which the Pacers as a team "put it all together." The Central Division is ripe for the picking, especially with Derrick Rose projected to miss most or all of the season, and there's little reason to believe the Pacers couldn't end up facing the Miami HEAT again at some point in the 2013 playoffs.
In fact, if Pritchard and Walsh's free agency moves this summer work out like they hope on the court, the Eastern Conference could come down to those two teams for years to come. For now, though, they just want to grow their young talent and play as well as they can.
"Coach Vogel wants to keep this team together and see them grow," Pritchard said. "We'll look for deals and be opportunistic, but it's not like we have to do something right now.
"It's never done," he added, "but it's time to sit back and evaluate where we are."
So where are they? In a pretty good place, it seems. They had to spend some money to get there, and more money will get spent down the road as other young guys gear up for extensions in coming years. But for now, the immediate future looks bright as the tide continues to turn in the right direction.

DCFS undercounted deaths from abuse, neglect over five years
SUN-TIMES/WBEZ SPECIAL REPORT: The number of children who died from abuse or neglect over the past five years in Illinois is higher than the state's child-welfare agency has reported, according to new figures from the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services. DCFS officials blamed errors in "the department's tracking and reporting system," including counting as a single death some cases in which more than one child died.
