Animal Welfare |
The Horse Protection Act (HPA) is a Federal law that prohibits horses subjected to a practice called soring from participating in shows, sales, exhibitions, or auctions. The HPA also prohibits drivers from transporting sored horses to or from any of these events. APHIS works actively with the horse industry to protect against such abuse and ensure that only sound and healthy horses participate in shows. Our ultimate goal is to end this inhumane practice completely. Soring is a cruel and abusive practice used to accentuate a horse's gait. It may be accomplished by irritating or blistering a horse's forelegs through the application of chemicals such as mustard oil or the use of mechanical devices. Walking horses are known for possessing a naturally high gait , but in order to be successful in competition their natural gait is often exaggerated. The exaggerated gait can be achieved with proper training and considerable time however, some horse exhibitors, owners, and trainers have chosen to use improper and inhumane training methods to shorten the time it would take to produce a higher gait without abusive practices.

Spay Neuter Movement – No Unwanted Litters
In July of 2011, the St. Louis PetLover Coalition launched its No Unwanted Litters initiative and introduced a coloring book to help communicate its spay/neuter message.
Click here to learn more and download the coloring book.
Read the press release.
A Movement of People
Committed to Saving Dogs and Cats
in the St. Louis Region
It is estimated that more than 20,000 dogs and cats are euthanized in St. Louis City and County every year due to pet overpopulation. While approximately 25 percent of animals entering our area's public and private shelters are adopted and a similar number are returned to their owners or transferred, sadly approximately two in four (44 percent) are euthanized, according to the Missouri Department of Agriculture. Pet overpopulation also poses a threat to our health and safety, including through potential attacks on kids and adults on our streets and in our neighborhoods.
Also, did you know that one dog or cat that is not spayed or neutered can produce thousands of unwanted offspring in a very short time? In fact, an unspayed female dog and her mate
along with all of their offspring can produce a staggering 67,000 dogs in only six years. The numbers for cats are similar.
For more information on the importance of spaying and neutering and
on the campaign, please download the No Unwanted Litters campaign fact sheet. And for more information on spay/neuter providers, visit our
Spay & Neuter page.
You can help make our neighborhoods safer and bring pet euthanasia numbers down in the St. Louis area by supporting the No Unwanted Litters campaign. No Unwanted Litters is a movement developed by the St. Louis PetLover Coalition to reduce the number of pets that enter the shelter system in the first place by increasing funding and region-wide awareness of the importance of spaying and neutering.
We need you to help save dogs and cats in St. Louis by taking action and inspiring others.

I finally got around to looking over the Pine to Palm website, course maps, and elevation chart. Something tells me that first ascent and the last descent are going to be memorable. Reminds me of the Bear 100 course only with less overall climb. I knew it was a stout course but DAMN. The climbs look amazing and I can't wait to get up there and run some Oregon trails for the first time.

Radar Love
Before instrument landing systems, military pilots relied on controllers to steer them right to the runway.
- By Robert P. Mark
- Air & Space magazine, March 2012
Courtesy Robert P. Mark; USAF; Photo-illustration By Théo
Long before anyone dreamed up the Next-Generation Air Transportation System—using signals from satellites some 12,000 miles above Earth to keep airplanes from running into one another—the job of returning military aircraft from murky skies required pilots to do something they loathed: let other folks, like air traffic controllers, boss them around. But in the decades following World War II, when weather took away all other options, pilots put themselves in the hands of military air traffic controllers skilled in the use of Ground Controlled Approach radar systems. Many came to think of a GCA controller's calming voice as that of another pilot who had happened along at just the right time.
The people talking the jet jockeys down were often enlisted kids like me, a student pilot and a recent graduate of the U.S. Air Force Air Traffic Control School at Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, Mississippi. I was stunned when, with the Vietnam War raging, my first duty station turned out to be a Royal Air Force station in a sleepy English hamlet, Wethersfield, just a few miles east of what is now London Stansted Airport.
Wethersfield, along with a dozen other British military bases, was loaned to the Air Force to support NATO's cold war commitment in Europe. I learned that the Air Force seasoned new controllers for a few years in low-key sites like Wethersfield before sending them to Southeast Asia to help battle-damaged F-100s, F-4s, and F-105s stagger home.
The idea of using radar to guide pilots to the runway in virtually any weather was a radical concept when GCA—sometimes called PAR for Precision Approach Radar—emerged in England during World War II. But it caught on quickly, and with help from the Brits, Gilfillan Brothers, a Los Angeles radio manufacturer, adopted, improved, and built it for the U.S. Army Air Forces and the Navy. One name associated with the early days of GCA development was Royal Air Force Flying Officer A. Clarke, a radar specialist who the world would later come to know as Arthur C. Clarke, author of 2001: A Space Odyssey and hundreds of other books, short stories, and essays. His 1963 novel, Glide Path, explored the lives of the scientists, pilots, and other service people who helped perfect the ground-controlled approach system. Clarke dedicated it to Luis Alvarez, who in 1945 was awarded the Collier Trophy for developing the microwave phased-array antenna, used in GCA.
In the late 1940s, GCA proved to be the only reliable method of safely landing tens of thousands of Allied military transports at West Germany's Templehof Airport during the Berlin airlift. For the Allies, the ground-controlled approach became the primary method of guiding landing aircraft, far more precise than Automatic Direction Finder systems.
On my first day at Wethersfield, I was given a tour of the red-and-white GCA facility. The shacks usually sat just 100 feet from the runway for radar accuracy; when the weather was clear, the checkerboard paint scheme warned pilots to steer clear. When an aircraft did stray too close, a klaxon on the nearby control tower sounded, signaling "Run like hell."
We were housed in two 20-foot semi-trailers joined end to end, and the facilities were cramped. One entire trailer alone housed the massive air conditioning units necessary to cool the magnetron tube, a GCA's radio wave life force. In the other unit, our operations trailer, the aisle was just wide enough to seat four controllers in the dark for hours on end. (Slim waistlines were a plus.) Ordinarily, three GCA controllers handled basic air traffic control duties: One vectored aircraft to a 10-mile approach, at which point either of the other two controllers used a two-view (horizontal and vertical scans) radarscope that provided precise heading and altitude information. On a telephone, a fourth controller coordinated arrivals and departures with other air traffic control facilities.
Think of GCA as a sort of instrument landing system, only the needles are watched by the controller on the ground instead of the pilot. All a pilot needed to land were two snippets of guidance information—altitude and heading. The challenge for the controller was updating pilots rapidly and frequently enough to keep them on a smooth path to a landing. We focused on the radar blip, trying to stay 10 seconds ahead of an airplane headed toward the runway—and us—at 2.5 miles a minute.
Every controller-in-training had a hero. At Wethersfield, mine was Senior Master Sergeant John Mahoney, a man of some heft who had flown Northrop P-61 night fighters in World War II and served GCA tours in Vietnam. One morning, in fog so thick I could barely find my way from the standby shack to the GCA trailer, Mahoney offered a demonstration. For some reason, only three of us were on duty. With just a month's experience, all I could do was don a headset and stay out of the way.
The arrival controller had split up a flight of three F-100s returning from a training mission. "Give them to me about seven miles apart," Mahoney told the arrival controller.

That is a great story about an approach which as a civilian pilot, you rarely shoot!
Although once, I had the opportunity to make a GCA at a military airfield, but that was on a clear blue sky and with full instruments available. Not really the same thing compared to landing in zero vis, but a great thing to do just being directed by the voice of the controller and end up at the centerline of the runway!

I am a now-retired profesional (civilian) pilot. However, over the course of my career, I had the need to shoot several Par(GCA) approaches at RCAF Station cold Lake in northern Alberta (Canada).

As a retired Air Force enlisted Air Traffic Controller (1960 - 1981) I thoroughly enjoyed "Radar Love" by Robert Mark. My first assignment after tech school at Keesler AFB was Itazuke AB, Japan where I "cut my teeth" on F-100s and, later, F-105s. Many of the Non-Commissioned Officers I worked with had served in WW II as Commissioned bomber, fighter, and glider pilots. My On-The-Job-Training Instructor started his military career as an Army Rifleman during the Korean War. My first Crew Chief served in WW II as a Marine, the Korean War as an Army Rifleman, and, during the later 1950s, in the Navy. My only criticism of the article concerns Robert Mark's description of the incorrect phraseology used by SMSgt Mahoney. I was taught that Air Traffic Control phraseology, just as with operating procedures and separation rules, was precise and exacting. The "old heads" I worked for did not tolerate the use of non-standard phraseology and really came down hard on any controller who violated separation rules. "Knowing the book" and skillfully applying prescribed phraseology, separation rules, and other procedures was a point of pride and taken quite seriously by all the controllers I knew.

While writing this story was certainly fun, the process of simply going back in time recalling everything that happened so long ago was just as much of a hoot.
But who is that young Sergeant in the photo with the funny hat? I seem to remember seeing him somewhere.
Posted by Rob Mark on March 23,2012 | 05:02 PM
This article really brings back some neat memories.
In the spring of 1957 I was a 19 year old USAF Airman 2nd Class who graduated from ATC School at Kessler AFB and was then stationed at the USAF AirBase at RAF Station Manston at Margate, England (located along the English Channel in Kent north of Dover). I was one of those "enlisted kids" GCA controllers and had considerable experience in "talking the jet jockeys down". We worked primarily with USAF F-84 & F-89 aircraft that were conducting air defense day & night time surveillance missions over central Europe. I do remember one specific mission where I was the final approach controller for a RAF (Royal AirForce) Vulcan bomber that needed to make an emergency landing because of a low engine oil indicator.
In May 2000, I was able to return to the Margate area while on vacation in the UK. The airfield now is a commercial facility but some of the living quarters AND the Control Tower of the 1957 time frame were still there. Lots of nostalgia!
As Bob Hope always said: "Thanks for the Memories."
Posted by Bob Hackney on March 29,2012 | 05:12 AM
I read the article & it brought back a lot of nostalgia. I, too, was a USAF air traffic controller 1964-1968. While stationed in Korat, Thailand, as a 20 yr old GCA controller, I talked down hundreds of aircraft, mostly F-105's returning from bomb runs on North VietNam. It was both exhilarating & satisfying after the recovery. Most came back shot-up, hydraulic failures, with hung ordinance and low on gas. They needed to land regardless of the weather & we were the last link to getting on the ground. I loved the job enough to spend 30 years doing it with the air force and FAA.
Thanks for the article and walk down memory lane.
Posted by Stan Bartlett on March 30,2012 | 10:48 PM
Great article!! I truly reminisced the early days of my ATC career. I vividly remember tech school at Keeseler AFB and Cody Hall where I learned the profession. I was on the "D" shift (midnight to 6 am) mostly throughout the course.

Relived memories - having been a F-100 pilot based at RAF Lakenheath (30 mi. north of Weathersfield) for 3 years and many GCA approaches. One of which, in 1963, was in zero vizability in a driving thunderstorm (the F-100 rain removal system was not effective in heavy rain). We were returning from a training flight for some practice formation low approaches and realized in the storm that we could not see the runway at minimums (200 feet), so we split up for full stops. However, after the split my radio failed so I was left with the option of the NDB approach (3 trys) at 400 ft. minimums, and I never saw the field. With low fuel I headed to my alternate (the storm was headed there too) but it came to me to check the NDB box and switch to voice - and, sure enough, there was the old senior controller talking to me. I landed in zero vizability and the GCA unit received an "aircraft save award" - and a bottle of JD from me.

In the late 1980's I was on a tour at Little Rock Air Force Base. We went by the GCA facility just off the flightline near the tower. I remember how impressed I was to see a young blonde haired controller about 19 or 20 years old talk down a C-130. Awesome bunch of folks.

"The said constitution shall never be construed to authorize Congress to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms."- Samuel Adams
Liar. This is just a fake anecdote he´s using to help justify a gun grab. What´s more, he doesn´t care about the will of the people. It´s all about his leftist agenda. Take state run health care. Although the public strongly opposed it, obama and his thugs ramrodded it.
I´m not sure who Obama´s listening to, but it sure isn´t the millions of Americans voting with their wallets and buying firearms and magazines in the last week. It´s a challenge to even find any semi-auto rifle in many stores right now due to them being completely sold out.
"I´ll do everything that a dictator dares to do before getting dragged out into the street and answering for my crimes..."
The quote in #1´s post is the point: "who are peaceable citizens". That doesn´t include the seriously mentally ill who are delusional.
No sir. You do not hear us. You shall.
I passed by a pawn and gun store this morning and the line was out the door and around the building. I have never seen anything like this.
And he heard us all demand no more drilling for our own oil and gas.And he heard us demand that the auto workers union be protected at the massive expense of the taxpayers.Oh, the list goes on.
#5 - obviously you missed the news (never mentioned in the LeftMedia, of course) that the Newtown shooter had attempted - and failed - to purchase his own gun. The reason? The gun shop owner decided to put a ´hold´ on the purchase so they could look into his state of mind due to the prescriptions he was taking.In other words, #5 - the system worked.
Who´s we? Bammy and Mr. Hanky?
The article fails to point out that there is also a pro-gun petition, which I signed. I got the same email. Yeah, he "heard" me.
Yo..yo...What´s he gonna do??. Send ValJar´s Chi-Com pals to try and take our guns??? BaaaHaaaHaaa!
Yea, just like you heard us on Obamacare, eh, Bar?
Ø is probably getting fitted now for his new Oppressor-in-Chief uniform.And if we thought violence was on an uptick lately, we ain´t seen nothing yet. Just wait ´til Bammy tries to force people to turn in their firearms.(And to whomever might be watching these posts, don´t construe that as even an implied threat -- I haven´t owned a working firearm for 30 years, and even that was just a BB gun.)

Indians rout Panthers in annual Y-game
Desperate to erase a zero off the scoreboard late in the ballgame, Yazoo County fumbled the football on a fourth and goal; it was the only turnover that didn't result in any points.
Yazoo City (2-2) won their fourth consecutive Y-Game Friday, blanking the Panthers 40-0 at the Swamp. It was the largest margin of victory between the two teams since the trophy was presented.
The Panthers had four turnovers on the night; including three in the first quarter which led to 19 points as Yazoo County remain winless on the season.
"I wasn't expecting that, but in the course of a game you just have to capitalize off turnovers," Yazoo City head coach Tony Woolfolk said. "It's always nice to get a win."
Yazoo County looked to jump the gun with an onside kick that failed to go ten yards giving the Indians good field position to start their first drive which led to a six yard touchdown run by Tre Richardson.
"We didn't play well as a team collectively," Panthers head coach Matt Williams said. "And when you do that against a sound team like Yazoo City, it's tough on the taking, even more when it's against your biggest rival."

if a company was "Christmas-friendly" in their advertising: print media (newspaper inserts), broadcast media (radio/television), website and/or personal visits to the store. If a company's ad has references to items associated with Christmas (trees, wreaths, lights, etc.), it was considered as an attempt to reach "Christmas" shoppers

If a company has items associated with Christmas, but did not use the word "Christmas," then the company is considered as censoring "Christmas."

Curtis lives out of a suitcase and his diary reflects it. He's always seems to be on an plane travelling or in front of a camera filming. But he wouldn't have it any other way. See what Curtis is up to (and where) with a glimpse into his diary blog.
There's a beauty to a dry vodka martini. After all, it's a drink worthy of James Bond. But there isn't a mixologist on the planet today who doesn't rely on a variety of flavor-packed liqueurs to create a host of wild and wonderful cocktails. The reason is simple. Liqueurs are essentially food based. They start out with a spirit (usually brandy, rum, whiskey or another liquor) and from there add ingredients like fruit, herbs, flowers, nuts, leaves and even bark. While delicious on their own, liqueurs pair perfectly with fruit juices and other beverages to make a seemingly endless number of specialty cocktails. Traditionally, people drank liqueurs as a digestive after dinner, but today we drink them anytime—before, during or after a meal. Just beware, that delightful sweetness doesn't necessarily mean they're lightweight. Most liqueurs have alcohol content between 15 to 30 percent, but there are notable exceptions. Green chartreuse, which gets its color and spicy mint flavor from chlorophyll, weighs in at a boozy 55 percent. Whether you're in the mood for ripe berries or elderflowers, there's a liqueur for you. Check out a few of my favorites and get creative. Amaretto di Saronno Flavor: almond Need to know: The original Amaretto di Saronno is made in Italy. Premium amaretto uses quality almonds, essential oils and extracts; cheaper labels slip in artificial ingredients and may substitute the kernels of apricot pits for the almonds. Try it with: over strawberries Chambord Flavor: black raspberry Need to know: Chambord hails from the Loire Valley in France, where the red and black raspberries are infused with cognac, Madagascar vanilla, Moroccan citrus peel, honey and herbs. Try it with: vodka and pineapple juice Cointreau Flavor: orange Need to know: Cointreau has been made by the Cointreau family in France since the mid-nineteenth century. Its orange flavor is the result of two types of orange peels—sour oranges from Curacao and sweet Spanish oranges. Try it with: tequila, elderflower liqueur or lime Crème de menthe, Crème de cacao, Crème de … Flavor: mint, chocolate, anything you can imagine from apricots to pineapples, rose petals to violets and cherries Need to know: Crème liqueurs are not the same as cream liqueurs, which are flavored mixtures that have been blended with cream (think Baileys). Try it with: The world is your oyster here. Crème de menthe is a natural with chocolate; crème de cacao makes an amazing espresso martini. Frangelico Flavor: hazelnuts Need to know: Frangelico is a secret recipe made with hazelnuts, flowers and berries. Try it with: lime or in a chocolate martini Limoncello Flavor: lemon Need to know: Along the Amalfi Coast of Italy, Limoncello (shown in the above image) is served in chilled ceramic glasses as a digestive. Try it with: pureed fruit or mint

Five residents have submitted applications to fill the Jeffco school board's vacant District 1 seat, said Helen Neal, chief of staff for the school board.
The five applicants are Dan Green, Samantha Hockenbery, John M. Horan, Beverly McAdam and Michele Patterson.
Neal said the board will discuss interview questions for the applicants and set a decision date at the board's next meeting Sept. 19. The board has until Oct. 10 to fill the vacant seat.
Goodbyes can be bittersweet. As he enters his 35th year at Columbine High School, including 18 years as principal, Frank DeAngelis has announced he will retire after the upcoming school year.
The Littleton City Council is giving high school students in Littleton Public Schools a chance to run things for a day.
Youth in Government Day, Sept. 26, will give 20 to 25 students in grades 9 through 12 a chance to learn how city government functions and come up with their own solutions for problems that many city governments face.
Robin Johnson resigned from the Jeffco school board on Monday night, said Helen Neal, chief of staff for the board.
The resignation is a result of Johnson moving out of the county. Johnson represented District 1, which covers the north part of Jefferson County.
"I didn't hear anything about it until Monday night … when Johnson sent a letter to each board member," Neal said.
Jeffco's Head Start program could serve 400 fewer kids during the next school year as a result of across-the-board federal funding cuts known as sequestration.
The 5 percent budget cut would mean about $152,000 less for the county's Head Start program. Lynn Johnson, Jeffco's human services director, said the cuts would mean laying off three teachers, and 96 fewer families — about 400 kids — would not be able to participate in the program during the 2013-14 school year.
Parents continued to voice their opposition at last Thursday's school board meeting to the district's plan to implement the cloud-based data storage system called inBloom.
"I'm doing my own research, and I'm looking for the list of data that Jeffco will be collecting, and I can't find it," said Jeffco parent Rachel Swalley. "I would like to know what (data) would be stored."
The Jeffco school board approved a 2013-14 budget totaling $952 million at its meeting May 30, a spending plan that adds $22 million to current-year expenditures.
The increase comes thanks to a boost in funding from the state and to the tax hike approved by voters last November. The budget still is $45 million less than the 2009-10 spending plan.
The district avoided $45 million in cuts this year when Jeffco voters approved 3A and 3B on last November's ballot. The district's mill-levy rate is 48.721, or $388 annually for a $100,000 home.
The Jeffco School District's plan to test a "cloud" storage system for student data has some parents concerned that vital information about their kids would be vulnerable to hackers and security breaches.
More than 35 concerned parents gathered at Normandy Elementary School on May 22 to voice their disapproval of the district's plan to pilot "inBloom" — software developed by an Atlanta-based nonprofit that would centralize mountains of student data and store it off site.
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor had a simple message for the 100 or so kids gathered in the new Ralph L. Carr Judicial Center in Denver on May 2.
No matter what you choose to do when you grow up, do something that excites you.
"What you do best are the things you're passionate about. They don't have to be important to anyone but you," Sotomayor said. "What's important is, as my mother always said, that you do what you're doing well and that you like doing it."
Jeffco schools Superintendent Cindy Stevenson summoned security at last Thursday's board meeting when school board member Laura Boggs tried to prevent a district employee from recording video of a speaker.
Broomfield resident Kelly Scott was addressing the board about his desire for schools to get back to Judeo-Christian roots and teachings when Boggs stood and blocked the iPad camera of communications manager Marlene Desmond.

I'm just curious if upgrading the power cable on my Scoutmaster is actually going to improve the sound. In fact, I'm actually going through the majority of my components to change out the power cables. I was recommended the Audioquest NRG-2 as a solid mid range power cable. Can anybody comment on this cable as an upgrade and if it's compatible for the Scoutmaster? Also, I'm curious if the NRG-2 is rated at 15A, because I would like to change out the cable on my Furman 15 PFi line conditioner.
Any comments or advice is greatly appreciated.

Compared to either of those, > Irix (from a user perspective) definitely did not suck. I have to agree. I think IRIX was my fourth UNIX (if you count XENIX as an UNIX variant). I was really impressed with how well IRIX was integrated with the hardware platform. Of course, that should come with the territory when you control both the hardware and the software. In particular I found the UI to impressive, getting good and accurate information from the hardware and OS about the current state of the system (something I still wish would improve in Linux), the easy tarball software install mechanism, easy integration of peripherals... oh, I could go on. I also like AIX, actually. You gotta take these things on their own terms. I really like the AIX NIM tool, for example. The downside? Well... everything has a downside.

Mike Cleary, who has spent 46 years as the only executive director of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics, announced he will step down from his role after the 2011 NACDA convention in June. Cleary, who will continue to serve as director emeritus for the next three years, will be succeeded by current Deputy Executive Director Bob Vecchione.
Cleary, who was named to the post in 1965, has led the association longer than any other current Division I conference commissioner, coaches association executive director or national association leader. In addition, Cleary has had the opportunity to work with all five NCAA presidents (Walter Byers, Dick Schultz, Cedric Dempsey, Myles Brand and Mark Emmert).
"I can't believe this will be my 46th convention in June," Cleary said. "I've had great presidents who have given our association the leadership we have needed to reach the heights that we have attained."
Cleary will continue to serve as the president for the John McLendon Minority Scholarship Foundation and the Northeastern Ohio Chapter of the National Football Foundation.
"Mike has been the association's leader since its inception and, although we are sorry to hear of his retirement, we are happy that he will continue to serve as director emeritus for the next three years," said NACDA President Dave Roach, director of athletics at Colgate University. "He is synonymous with NACDA and has been the guiding force behind the development of our profession as athletics administrators.
"He has been a mentor and friend to so many ADs for the last 45 years, and his impact will be felt forever. We owe him more than words can ever express. On behalf of the entire membership, we thank him for his continued leadership over the years, and wish him nothing but the best in the future."
Over the course of NACDA's 45-year history, Cleary has overseen the creation of the association's convention and NACDA's 11 affiliate associations. He also helped NACDA develop the Learfield Sports Directors' Cup, which has come to be known as the gold-standard recognition for broad-based success in intercollegiate athletics.
As president of the McLendon Minority Scholarship Foundation, Cleary has been responsible for raising more than $2 million to date. Annually, the program awards five postgraduate scholarships to minority senior-level students who are planning to pursue a graduate degree in athletics administration. In addition, the Foundation also created the John McLendon Minority Athletics Administrators Hall of Fame in 2007 to honor minority athletics administrators who have made an impact on the profession.
While serving as NACDA's executive director, Cleary simultaneously held the posts of commissioner of the Ohio Athletic Conference from 1973 to 1981 and administrator of the Division 1A Athletic Directors' Association from 1986 to 1992.
Prior to NACDA, Cleary served as the director of championship events for the NCAA, and also held the same position with the NAIA. Before entering the field of intercollegiate athletics, Cleary served as the general manager of the Cleveland Pipers in the old American Basketball League under owner George Steinbrenner. While with the Pipers, Cleary hired John McLendon, the first black coach to head an American professional sports team. He also served as general manager of the Kansas City Steers of Abe Saperstein's ABL and Midwest scout for the New York Knicks.
A behind-the-scenes person in the field of athletics, Cleary has served on committees with the USOC; the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority (NJSEA); and the National Football Foundation (NFF) and Hall of Fame, among others. In 1999, Cleary was named to the board of directors of the NFF and, in 1995, he received the award for the Outstanding Contribution to Amateur Football from the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame.
He was awarded an honorary doctorate from the United States Sports Academy and in 2009 was inducted into the NAIA Hall of Fame.

How much do you value what you received on the Weekend?
Isn't it worth giving to others?
If we really want the 'dream' of an 'encountered' world to come true, we need to INVITE... INVITE... INVITE!
It's really only limited to our imaginations, on all the different ways to get a couple to experience the Weekend. But statistically, we'd had the most success with personal invitations from one couple (or sacrament) to another. When you begin telling others about the wonderful experience you had, they're likely to start asking questions. And just to help you out, we have listed some of the more popular questions, and answers to them. Just click here.
We have also included a section on notices that can be used in church bulletins, PTA flyers, posters, and almost anything else. If you're looking for just the right words to put in writing, take a look.
And don't forget Inviting Dinners. Several communities in our area have had great results using this technique. And it's fun to do. Everybody gets involved.
And last, but certainly not least, are Pulpit Talks, formerly known as Mass Talks. These are still a great way to get the message out to a large group at one time.

Tidy Tights
Monday, July 9, 2012
I was cleaning out my closet and was very irritated by the fact that my tights didn't fit anywhere in the closet. I keep my socks, underwear and stockings in separate boxes in my closet, but my tights just kept piling out of the box. And then I remembered all those tutorials on how to organize your jewelry and thought, why not use a similar method for my tights?!
I still had these wooden clothes pegs and found that they were just perfect for this project! I just simply glued the pegs to the side of my closet and used them to hang my tights on.
After I was finished with this project, I actually found some tights that I never wore, how amazing is that!
See below for the full tutorial.
1. Get those tights.
2. Find some wooden clothes pegs.
3. Measure the side of your wardrobe, or wherever you want to hang your tights. Measure from the top
4. Draw a line on where you want the pegs to be.
5.Get your glue gun and glue the pegs to the closet or wall.
6. Let the glue dry.

Costume shopping isn't easy if you have no clue what you want to be for Halloween. You could spend hours in the stores or online just looking from one costume to the next. Also there are Halloween masks, Halloween accessories and makeup to consider too. One way to make your costume shopping experience a lot more fun is to come up with an idea of what "type" of costume you're looking for before you begin your search.
It's simple once you narrow it down. Let's take for example the letter "S". Maybe you want your costume to be scary, sinister or spooky? Maybe you want your costume to be sexy or seductive? Or maybe you're looking for something more along the lines of silly? All of these "S" words describe costumes you'll find at HalloweenExpress.com.
Let me give you some costume ideas you may find interesting:
Scary – Sinister – Spooky
So before you spend hours "just looking" at costumes trying to give yourself some idea of what you want to be this year, think of the "S" words – Spooky, Sexy, Silly! Which category does your costume fall under? Remember you can always go to www.HalloweenExpress.com and let us help you find that perfect costume!

354^ Volume 40 No. 36 Your hometov\^n newspaper Thursday Sept. 7,2000 © 2000 Press-Republican Newspapers Huntley building takes a hike Reed Road structure to become farm museum by Janna St. James Huntley-Marengo editor It's hard to say what Norman Wolff of Woodstock was looking for when he sat down to read the classified ads. Perhaps nothing. Or nothing in particular. Yet nothing is pretty much the opposite of what he foimd on the dense pages of ads. Hey. Open the newspaper Buy a couple buildings. Lots of people purchase real estate through the classifieds every day, but the buildings Wolff bought weren't income property. These buildings were bound to be mobile. Plans for road widening work on Huntley's Reed Road meant Edwin Meier's building near the intersection of Reed and Route 47 would have to go - either down or out. Being perfectly good build¬ ings, Meier decided it was a waste to simply tear them dovm. Hence, the classified. Wolff, owner/operator of Woodstock's Country Cabin Deer Park, Orchard, Nursery and Classic Country Store, saw the ad as being the perfect catalyst for some ideas he'd been brewing. Wolff contacted Meier and made arrangements to have the building moved to his Alden Road property. "I had no idea how long it would take to move the building," Wolff said. "But Dennis Boer, an engi¬ neer with (my company) did. And they got busy right away." The crew started dismantling the structures on Aug. 14 and were done in just days. Now, after mov¬ ing the pieces and rebuilding the 80 X 100-foot building on the Deer Park site, then what? Well, Wolff has a vision. A gregarious guy and a mem¬ ber of the Borrowed Time Club after being involved in a very seri¬ ous accident years ago, Wolff has the personal power to focus on task and bring it to fruition. And so it is with the Meier buildings - clipped from the classifieds to Country Cabin within a week. And now...beyond. "The building is going to become the Days Gone By Farm Museum, set up as an Illinois edu- --¦ 1 III sm « »»« TBimmr a ¦r- -mm ^ ¦H!!ii.,<!ii...i ¦ •*•¦ i ¦: 1 1 " " 1 I'M L^ I ... ^^^» * Workers for Norm Wolff dismantle the Meier buildings on Reed Road for a move to Woodstock. Wolff purchased the structures with the idea of moving them and opening a museum dedicated to the farm and farming. cational non-profit corporation," Wolff said. "The museimi will be funded by a general membership dues, deductible donations from individuals, foimdation and gov¬ ernment grants and rural America corporate sponsors like John Deere, DeKalb Seed Co., Illinois Beef and Pork Producers, Illinois Dairy Producers, the Chicago Board of Trade, the Mercantile Exchange, etc." Wolff and his wife Judith see exhibits. Lots of exhibits... • Antique farm machinery. • Early American farm tools. • Rural American history dis¬ plays featuring pictures, col¬ lectibles and antiques. •Illustrations of farm produc¬ tion - everything you ever wanted to know about corn, soybeans, wheat, oats, rye or sunflowers. The ins and outs of alfalfa and grass hay. Got milk? The museum will - the show will go from cow to counter. Cream, cheese and butter too. • No birds, but all about bees - from plant to plant and on to honey production. • Insects and the role they play in life on the farm. • Poultry production in a nut¬ shell, but more in depth than if you're chicken you better duck because those geese are flying low on their way to Tbrkey. • The ABCs of BPL - beef, lamb and pork. • A look inside the orchard. • A salute to fruit and vegetable farming. • The farm product cycle, including: rural America to grain elevators, the Illinois canal system and barge traffic, farmer's mar¬ kets and roadside stands and farm exports to feed the world. Wolff hopes to have the new museum up and running as soon as possible, perhaps even as early as later this fall. It will be surroimd- ed by 1,000 conifer pines, the house specialty, moved from the nursery section of the 120-acre Country Cabin Deer Park site. Days Gone By will fit in nicely with the rest of the Wolff endeav¬ ors, which currently include - the deer park, with more than 100 dif¬ ferent animals living in the wild and deer, sheep, llamas and goat you can hand feed; an Indian camp; pond; draft horse wagon and pony rides; a U-pick apple orchard; a year-round nursery; and the Apple Bam Country Store. The deer park and store are open for the 2000 season until Dec. 23. Future plans, including the Days Gone By Farm Museum, include the addition of a bakery and deli; a convention/banquet facility with restaurant and lodg¬ ing; and a miniature train to be called the "Apple Pine Line." The Meier, buildings aren't Wolff's first adventure in moving structures. He also purchased the barn from the Kretchmer farm in Harvard a while back. "I have the newest 200-year-old barn in McHenry County," he said.

Quarterback: A
Joe Flacco threw some excellent passes and handled pressure in the pocket well. The two touchdown passes to Torrey Smith were placed perfectly and that heave to Jacoby Jones in the final seconds was more than Denver expected. Grade: A

We biked here and was worth the trip. What a beautiful beach, just like home we thought! Nice and big so people aren't on top of you. Great find!
We biked here and was worth the trip. What a beautiful beach, just like home we thought! Nice and big so people aren't on top of you. Great find!
An easy to miss access road to Mansion beach is worth the diligence to find. This beach which is at the northern end of Crescent Beach had a great view, soft sand and usually gentle waves. There are no facilities so be prepared to bring out your trash to help keep this beach so beautiful
The sights are amazing but paying to see hold houses not my thing. The properties were the size of places in Vegas. Views are amazing from everywhere and should do the walk around the outsides of the water properties
Mansion Beach is healing itself. Hopefully BI will not have to suffer another hurricane anytime soon and it will be back to the beautiful beach we have enjoyed all these years.(over 35+ years.
Awesome beach when we came over at 8:30/9:00 we were the first ones until 10:30 and it was awesome amazing waves and we buggie board all day!!
We went on a windy day and left after half an hour! It's a nice sandy clean beach but the wind kicked up the sand mighty fierce. We were covered in sand, and it made it unbearable to enjoy the beach. Maybe it's a great beach on a calm day but I would definitely skip it on a windy day!
There are so many beautiful beaches on the island. Maybe it was just because it was a Saturday, but it seemed like the mainland. Walk north along the shore to Clayhead beach. Much more pleasant.
I'd heard that Hurricane Sandy had stripped away the sand leaving a huge drop and lots of rocks. But it was fine.
Nice beach. No facilities. Pack a cooler, sand chair umbrella and enjoy a few hours here. You will not be dissapointed!
Mansion is basically the last stretch of Crescent Beach. Great white sand, beautiful landscape and some rocky exploration territory off to one side. No amenities except parking which was fine for us and likely is what keeps it quieter than other beaches. Only complaint is that there are some pesky critters in the water that tend to bite if you...
