He was supposed to be the next in line to head the Workers' Party after current Secretary-General Low Thia Khiang's tenure.
But all hopes of that evaporated after former WP MP for Hougang Yaw Shin Leong's extra-marital affair was exposed.
Now, Yaw is better known as "Amos Rao" and is living it up in Myanmar.
"Rao" is supposedly the hanyu pinyin spelling of Yaw's Chinese name.
The 40-year-old is now a senior vice-president of private education provide Shenton Co in Myanmar.
He is also the general manager of 3 subsidiary firms there, including Temasek International College, which offers degrees and diplomas in business and hospitality.
He states in his LinkedIn profile that he spends 2 months out of a year in Singapore and the remainder in Myanmar.
Yaw, or "Rao", has refused to comment on his past hijinks, saying he is now a private citizen and deserves his "private space".
He was expelled by the WP in Feb 2012 following his affair, and reportedly left Singapore with his wife a day after that, before news of the affair was made public.
According to his Facebook account, he was in Zhengzhou China, before moving on to Myanmar.
Yaw won in Hougang with 64.8 per cent of the vote in GE 2011, bettering his mentor Low's result in the 2006.
His extra-marital affair is one of several in recent years involving politicians to be exposed.
Other such affairs include those of the PAP's Michael "Mangoes" Palmer, David "Amorous Botak" Ong.

The Game
Afterlife make use of D10 mechanics and an alternating activation system as seen in games such as Dust and Drop Zone Commander which keeps both players engaged. The game has also been designed to allow for not only small games with couple of elite teams but also larger, full scale battles. What's also great is that Anvil Industry will be making Afterlife rules available for free so you can get a feel for the system without investing heavily in rule books and manuals.
The Miniatures
You may be familiar with Anvil Industry already, their range of Exo Lords and conversion parts are really quite fantastic. Well they have brought their same level of quality to Afterlife. The miniatures are very reminiscent of games such as Halo and Titanfall. With the level of technology being more advanced versions of what we have now rather than completely alien tech. The range consists of numerous units such as drones, armored infantry and mechs with special characters to accompany.
All of the miniatures are crafted in house by Anvil Industry, designed in CAD software and crafted in resin.
Anvil Industry is looking to raise £30,000 and are already over half way there but they need your help to reach their goal. They have range of different pledge options available, with each providing you with some miniatures to get you started. So if you I have piqued your interest so far head over to the Afterlife: The Shards of Liberty Kickstarter Page to pledge your support now.

Most crossbows have a problem. Both recurve and compound crossbows share it.
The thing is …
They're bulky and sometimes awkward. They're wide and much of the weight is at the front of the bow, making them unwieldy in the field.
Reverse draw crossbows help with many of these issues by making the bow more narrow and balanced. If you're in the market for a reverse draw bow, the Barnett Vengeance is great choice with plenty of power and consistent accuracy.
Let's take a closer look at the Vengeance and why it might be a good choice for you.
Is It Worth Your Money?
Barnett Vengeance Crossbow
The Barnett Vengeance is absolutely worth your while if you're looking for a high-performance crossbow in a more compact, balanced package. This bow has good power and accuracy and is more than capable of taking just about any North American game animal.
Don't be confused by the reverse limb design, it helps make this crossbow more compact and shifts more weight to the rear, enhancing balance and maneuverability in the close quarters often found while hunting.
A Closer Look at the Barnett Vengeance
The Barnett Vengeance takes the typically front heavy design of most crossbows and shifts more of the weight to the rear and center of the bow with a reverse draw design. This innovative bit of engineering allows shooters to more easily balance the bow when shooting.
- Features
- Specifications
- Ease of Use & Reliability
The size and balance of the Vengeance is perhaps one of its best features. The stock also has a very ergonomic shape that's a good fit for most shooters. An adjustable vertical forward grip also makes this crossbow very easy to handle.
The Vengeance also makes use of a carbon riser, which helps to reduce weight and shifts the center of gravity even farther back in the crossbow.
With an arrow speed of 365 feet per second and a draw weight of 140 pounds, the Vengeance also provides plenty of power for just about any game most crossbow hunters will pursue.
- Arrow speeds of up to 365 feet per second
- 3x32 optic included
- Draw weight of 140 pounds
- Powerful kinetic energy of over 120 foot pounds
- Reverse limb design with lightweight carbon limbs
- Comes with 3 arrows and cocking rope
- Lightweight 3.5 pound trigger
The Vengeance is not difficult to use once assembled. To cock and operate the bow, Barnett includes a rope cocking device with the bow. A crank cocking device can also be used but must be purchased separately.
Many users report assembly being a bit complicated, but once the bow is together little maintenance and adjustment is required beyond lubricating the bowstring.
Reliability with a Barnett product is good as usual. Buyers also get the benefit of Barnett's five-year warranty.
The Vengeance is a state of the art compound crossbow with carbon limbs and other advanced materials and technology. Because of the design and engineering that have gone into this bow, it doesn't have a budget price tag. But it's not overpriced either.
Buyers get a lot of bow for under $1000 with the Barnett Vengeance.
Who Is the Barnett Vengeance For?
The Vengeance is a great crossbow for anyone looking for a high-performance bow in a compact, easy to handle package. This crossbow performs well with good accuracy and reliability.
If you're hunting for just about anything in North America and want a crossbow that handles well in the woods or a blind, the Vengeance is an excellent choice. The lightweight limbs and riser keep the weight to the rear, reducing some of the awkwardness inherent to crossbows.
This crossbow is probably not a great choice for someone looking for a starter or budget bow, but will serve an experienced hunter well.
Our Opinion
Barnett Vengeance Crossbow
Anyone looking for a higher end crossbow that handles well in the field should consider the Barnett Vengeance. It's balanced, accurate, and reliable.
The biggest downside to this crossbow is the weight. While it does balance nicely, it's several pounds heavier than many other compound crossbows. That's unfortunate given the effort Barnett has put into making this bow more balanced.
Overall, it's still a great crossbow that will undoubtedly outperform most crossbow shooters. If you can get past the weight, the Vengeance will provide you with plenty of performance at a price point that's more than competitive.
Other Options Worth Looking At
Ravin R10
While the Vengeance is an excellent choice, in this price range competition is pretty stiff (see our comparison here). There are quite a few crossbows in the $1000 range that are capable of speeds of up to or over 400 feet per second and kinetic energy of well over 100 foot pounds.
If you're looking for a compact, maneuverable bow with even more power than the Barnett Vengeance, take a look at the Ravin R10. The R10 is lighter and narrower than the Vengeance. It's also more powerful with arrow speeds up to 400 feet per second.
But the R10 will cost you. With a price tag of nearly $500 more than the Vengeance, it's not exactly affordable.
The Barnett Vengeance is still a great choice for the price if you're looking for a high performance crossbow that handles well.
The Leupold VX-2 is a reasonably comparable scope to the AccuPower. With a 1-4X magnification (it's not a real 1X) and a 9-ounce weight, it still runs at less than $300, making it an excellent option if cost is a significant factor in your purchasing decision. It'll also hold up to the recoil of bigger caliber rifles like a .458 Winchester.
The VX-2 4-12x40mm is another option. It lacks the 1X but sports a higher magnification capability, up to 12X. Also, its price point is under $450 with all mounting rings and accessories.
If battery-free operation (and resulting lower weight) is a factor, consider spending the extra cash on the AccuPoint 1-4X. It has all the same features of the AccuPower, but the tritium/fiberoptic design lets you run for 12 years without batteries. You'll also get the 7075-T6 housing, which makes it nearly indestructible.

Zelf bloempotten maken.
DIY Concrete Planter : Create a unique garden planter using concrete, cooking spray and your choice of forms.
Step 1
Gather your forms (we used 3- and 5-gallon buckets). Use cooking spray to coat the inside of the large bucket and the outside of the small bucket.
Step 2
Mix concrete in a tub (wear rubber gloves and a mask) following package directions.
Step 3
Pour the mixture into the large bucket to about the halfway mark. Slide the small bucket into the center of the large bucket and push down to within 2 inches of the bottom.
Step 4
Use bricks, stones, or sand to weight the small bucket. Secure the weighted small bucket with duct tape so it doesn't rise.
Step 5
Remove the weights after 48 hours. Slit the inside of the small bucket and remove. Slit the outside of the large bucket and remove.
Step 6
Use a masonry bit to drill a hole in the side or bottom of the container for drainage.

The main mission for us at OnlineLPN.net is to educate those preparing for education in their specific trade but in short it is to show people how to become a (LPN) Licensed Practical Nurse. We keep it simple and easy to follow because it can be a simple process if you want it to be.
The latest government statistics show that practical/vocational nurses can expect a 25% increase in growth for their positions. That is very encouraging and exciting for aspiring LPN/LVNs. So let's get started!
How do you Become a Licensed Practical Nurse?
Requirements for Training to Become an LPN/LVN
The common or typical prerequisites for student enrollment into practical nursing training or online LPN training will ultimately depend on which LPN/LVN school you choose.
With all that said, we have found common requirements. They are listed below::
- Must have earned H.S. Diploma or GED Equivalent
- Must be eligible for employment in your respective state
- Must successfully pass a background check
Selecting Schools
Tips for Selecting the Right School
Becoming an LPN can be a rewarding and successful experience. That starts with picking the right program to enroll. You are going to spend money, time and put your career out there so it is imperative that you select a school that feels that your education and success it is as important to them as it is to you.
The first and the most important step is accreditation. The NLNAC – National League for Nursing Accreditation Commission, gives the national accreditation status for practical/vocational nursing schools. Also, all state nursing boards approve programs and schools. Check your state board for accreditation first. See our complete list of tips for selecting schools below:
- Take care of any pre-enrollment requirements
- Check school's accreditation status
- Talk to multiple programs and schools
- Look for job placement and career services
- Look for high grad rates
- Look at online programs
- Ask a lot of questions
- Do simple cost comparison
- Seek advice but trust your gut!
Online or Not
Does an Online Program Hurt Your Chances to Become an LPN?
No. no and no. There is a lot of myths and misconceptions about online nursing schools. For becoming an LPN, there are no 100% online courses. That is for the simple purpose of clinical training. You have to have hands on training to become a practical nurse in any state.
An online LPN course is only there to help you. They are for the general education portions of the training. Courses like anatomy, physiology and english can be done online. But to become a licensed LPN/LVN you will have to get your hands dirty and complete clinical training.
Every state in America mandates that all practical and vocational nurses must be licensed to be employed.
What it Takes to get Licensed to Become an LPN/LVN
Once you have completed your state or nationally approved LPN training program, you are then eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination, also known as the NCLEX-PN.
Every state has a mandate that says that every aspiring practical or vocational nurse must pass the NCLEX-PN exam to get a license and also to be eligible to work as an LPN or LVN in that state. So the steps are:
- Submit your application for licensure to the state board of nursing or the applicable regulating body
- Meet the State Board's application deadline
- Register with Pearson VUE for the NCLEX
- Pass the NCLEX-PN

Wow! You've got a lot of fabric in the makes. I purchased that reindeer panel too and didn't know what to do with it. I like your FMQ on it. Maybe I'll dig mine out and finish it this holiday season. Thanks for the inspiration!

We had fun with the date yesterday, too, but in Australia we write the day, the month and then the year, so for us it was 11/12/13 :)
I love the brick quilting on the Christmas panel. And what a thoughtful sister you have - lucky you. It's great that you can still do a little bit of sewing, even with sick kids. Hope everyone gets well soon.

I laughed at the thought that your new baby is about to have her own stocking. I'm embarrassed to say I've never made stockings for my kids and they are 21 and 24 now. Maybe there's still time. : )
Merry Christmas

Kiss has been announced by IDW Publishing.
The ongoing series, which casts the real-life rock band as superheroes, will be written in alternating arcs by Chris Ryall and Tom Waltz, with Jamal Igle and Casey Maloney sharing art duties.
Kiss has a rich history in comic books, featuring in a popular Marvel Comics series in the 1970s, as well as a more recent crossover with the Archie Comics universe.
"I wanted to do Kiss comics the way I remembered them as a kid. I wanted to do them like the old Marvel comics that Stan Lee worked on with John Buscema and then John Romita, Jr. They were just these teenage, young guys who got these talismans that powered them up," Ryall told CBR.
"It was like a superhero comic concept, which I always dug. That's my background as a reader."
Kiss debuts in June, kicking off with an arc titled 'Dressed to Kill'.

Oh hey, here I am! I haven't done Thursday(ING) in a few weeks and I promise I haven't forgot it! After reading my friend Bethany's Thursday(ING) post, I realized that the last few weeks of summer are always jam packed full for everyone! But, here's a few...
- Spending the last few weeks of freedom in Okoboji, Chicago, hanging with my family and great friends, and enjoying not going to class yet!
- Preparing for school. Once I finally get into a routine, I'm actually okay with being in school. But the first few weeks of getting into the swing of things is always a little stressful!
- Realizing that I'm a SENIOR! This is my last semester of classes! WOAH, when did that happen?!
- Planning the year already, my weekends are quickly filling up with concerts, photo shoots, vacations, and birthdays! The busy-ness never ends!
- Being perfectly okay with where I am in my life right now and content with what's happening! :)
Have a happy weekend!

Roll of Honour; News from the Front
Mr Peter Burgess, 11 Jackson St, Macclesfield, has been informed that his son, Driver Frank Burgess, of the Army Service Corps, was accidentally killed in France on March 19th. The sad tidings were contained in a letter from Captain Everard Jones, the deceased soldier's officer: … your son, 3697 Driver Frank Burgess, ASC… was accidentally killed whilst on duty on the 19th March by falling off his wagon. He suffered no pain and did not regain consciousness. He was buried with full military honours… was an excellent soldier… a great favourite with his comrades… Born in Macclesfield 24 years ago, Driver Burgess was educated at St George's Day School… He enlisted in September 1914, being at that time employed as a carter by Messrs Gorton and Wilson. He trained three weeks at Aldershot, and seven days later was drafted to France. Driver Burgess took part in the retreat from Mons and… had several narrow escapes, and went into hospital in consequence of being kicked by a horse. The deceased was home on furlough in February 1916 and his parents received a letter dated the day before his death in which he stated that he expected to be home on leave during the following week. He has two brothers in the Army, one of whom was recently recommended for a commission and is now attached to an officers' cadet battalion at Kinmel Park, North Wales. The other brother, Corpl Harold, ASC, has been serving in France for the past fourteen months.
Mrs Needham, Mason's Lane, Macclesfield, has received a sympathetic letter from Second Lieut R Allen, Machine Gun Corps, respecting the death of her husband, Private Frank Needham, Cheshire Regt, who was killed in action on the 12th inst: … during the short period he had been with the Machine Gun Company he had become well-liked by both officers and men on account of his fearlessness and devotion to duty… in losing him we know that we have lost a good man… Private Needham was 28 years of age and a native of Bollington, where his parents reside. He was educated at the Church School, and before enlistment was employed as a cotton doubler at the Waterhouse Mill. He was married five years ago and leaves a widow and one son. Mrs Needham's father has been in the Army nearly thirty years and fought in the South African campaign. He is now serving in the present war and has a son in India and another in the Navy.
Private John Broadhead, Cheshire regiment… was killed on February 17th while taking part in an attack on the German trenches. He was the son of Mr and Mrs C Broadhead, Kerridge End, Rainow, and prior to enlisting in March, 1916, was employed as a carter by Messrs Wetton and Sons, stone merchants, Bollington. Private Broadhead was 31 years of age.
Mr Harold Booth, son of Mr John Booth, Great King Street, Macclesfield, who is engaged in an important branch of the naval service, is at present home on leave. He recently passed through an exciting experience, in the course of which he was taken on board a German submarine and subsequently released.
Sergeant Harold Holloway, only son of Mr F W Holloway, corn and seed merchant, Stanley Street, Macclesfield, arrived home on Monday from Salonica, this being his first leave during two years on foreign service. Immediately on the outbreak of war the Sergt, who was employed as a locomotive engineer at the Stoke Works of the North Staffordshire Railway, enlisted in the Royal Engineers. He went out to the Dardanelles early in 1915, with the 10th Division, being among the first contingent of English troops who landed at Suvla Bay… After a short time in hospital at Malta, he was transferred to Salonica, where he has experienced some lively adventures. Holloway participated in the battle of Strummitz against the Bulgars, and was in the famous retreat of the Serbian Army… With his corps the Sergeant was busily employed in making roads, blowing up bridges, etc… He has had many narrow escapes. On one occasion the bullets flew off his helmet like peas, and a bullet struck the magazine of his rifle, while others penetrated his uniform. Owing to the intense cold on the Balkan front, the water in the bottles froze in a solid mass, and he had to shave in melted snow. At one time, when engaged in bridge-building behind the line, he had a daily tramp of twelve miles to and form his billet. …Sergt Holloway, who is 24 years of age and stands over six feet, has enjoyed remarkably good health throughout. He was nearly a month in reaching Macclesfield from Salonica, to which place he will return on the completion of his sixteen days' leave at home. He was recently promoted from Corporal to Sergeant, after holding the first-mentioned rank for about 18 months.
Miss Ada M. Beesley, daughter of the late Mr Stephen Beesley and of Mrs Beesley, 50 Duke St, Macclesfield, was on board the British hospital ship Asturias which was torpedoes without warning by a U-boat on the night of March 20-21. Happily she escaped without injury and is now spending a few days at her mother's home… Miss Beesley is a native of Macclesfield, her late father being formerly second master at the Modern School. She was educated at the Macclesfield Girls' High School, and has been actively engaged in the nursing profession for many years. After training at Guy's Hospital, London, she held appointments in various parts of the country and was matron of a hospital at High Wycombe up to July 1915, when she volunteered for and was accepted as a staff nurse in Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service Reserve. Drafted out to France, her first experience was in the base hospital at Etaples, which has accommodation fro 1,000 beds, and here she remained for nearly twelve months. At the commencement of the "big push" last July Miss Beesley was transferred with 15 other nurses to a newly-established clearing station on the Somme lines. Accommodation was provided in tents and the station was so near the fighting area that Miss Beesley could hear the sound of guns and see the flashes. Miss Beesley described the work here as very exciting, inasmuch as the staff had to deal with the wounded as they were brought down directly after treatment in the dressing stations, and the hours were long and the duties arduous. Following a brief spell at Havre, Miss Beesley was drafted to the Asturias about six months ago. Since that time the ship has made scores of voyages across the Channel and brought over thousands of sick and wounded soldiers, together with German prisoners of war and French soldiers.
The British hospital ship Asturias, whilst steaming with all navigating lights and with all the proper distinguishing Red Cross signs brilliantly illuminated, was torpedoed without warning. The following casualties occurred: Military – 11 dead, 3 missing, 17 injured; Crew: 20 dead, 9 missing, 22 injured. The missing include a female staff nurse and a stewardess.
Miss Beesley [said] the attack took place just before midnight… We had disembarked the sick and wounded the day before, and those on board comprised the nursing staff, RAMC orderlies and the crew. Most of us were in bed and were awakened by the noise of the explosion caused by the torpedo. I dressed, and came on board with a life-belt on. The people who suffered most were the RAMC men, who slept int he stern of the ship. Their quarters being filled with fumes from the explosion, which blew off the propeller, they had no time to dress and some of them were hurt… I was taken off in one of the big lifeboats from the starboard side… the operation of lowering the boats was extremely hazardous… the Asturias… eventually settled on a rock after drifting for some miles… Miss Beesley was not thrown into the water. The sight of the stokers and members of the crew, she said, was a pitiable one. Having no time to dress, they appeared clad in eiderdown, travelling rugs, etc. Most of them had night attire showing underneath the clothing they had hastily donned, and I saw one private walking about in the Colonel's overcoat. Some of those on board were badly burnt. She was in the lifeboat on the water for about four hours, when a small boat came to their aid, and Miss Beesley was landed with others in a little fishing village… Subsequently she journeyed to London by special train and arrived in Macclesfield yesterday week, feeling little worse for her unpleasant adventure. She is now awaiting orders to rejoin the military nursing service.

Deulmusae opened in Pocheon, South Korea in 1996. The blog My Seoul Searching shares its origin story: a visiting monk stopped by one day and told the restaurant that it had too much female energy. How do you fix that problem? By erecting penises everywhere, of course.
Seriously, there are penises (penes?) absolutely everywhere. From cups, to plates, to sculptures, to lighting, everything is basically a giant penis. There's a joke in there somewhere about being glad that South Korea is one of those places you don't slip anyone a tip.
Here are more phallic photos than you probably ever thought you'd see on a food blog. Warning: NSFW.
The path to the restaurant is lined with phallic sculptures. (Photo: KoreAm)
Did we mention that some of those penis sculptures light up? (Photo: Seoul Tapper)
Then there are penis sculptures made of stone, like this one. (Photo: Pyonmw)
There's even a penis-shaped oven. If they made pizza, it would be "dick-oven pizza." (Photo: kim,sm)
You can visit the gift shop for all your penile statuary needs. This is exactly what your garden or front yard has been missing. If you live in Chicago, we recommend you use one of these next winter for parking spot dibs. (Photo: kim,sm)
Great fountain, amirite? (Photo: Mimsie Ladner)
There's a world map made of ceramic penises, because, why not. (Photo: Mimsie Ladner)
Inside the restaurant, you can watch this baker make penis-shaped breads. They're filled with red bean paste. We're not making that up. And yes, it should have been custard. (Photo: Seoul Tapper)
Drinks are served in venue-appropriate vessels. (Photo: Seoul Tapper)
You also get to drink from a penis cup if you're a woman, or a vagina cup if you're a man. (Photo: pyonmw)
The food is supposed to be quite good, and is served on either phallic or vulvic plates, similar to the drinks. (Photo: Seoul Tapper)
You can't balance male and female energies on an empty stomach, after all.

Spot: Indonesia: Klawing River
Play River: Klawing River
TBS One of Klawing river rapids
What's it like
Klawing River has small, medium, and big volume character, depending on flows and season. The only section that could be run in the dry season, around May to September is its lower section. From October to November the upper section of the river starts to live, along with the coming of wet season.
At the peak of the wet season around January, you can expect to have big water when the floods bring massive flows.
The common put-in is in Bobotsari, 11 km north of Purbalingga, below Majapura bridge. On wet season, for a longer trip, you can start running from Penisihan Falls pool, up to 8km upstream from Majapura bridge.
Klawing has 2 main playspot wave which are, TBS and Banjaran. The availaibility of the two playspots are depend on the flow. TBS is small wave and will be available in moderate level. On low and high flow the wave will disappear. While Banjaran will be available either in low or high level flow. TBS is also a name of a rapid, which is located some 500 meter from the put in. It is also the name of Bupati Purbalingga or Purbalingga Regency Government Chief.
The take out is at Galuh village where there is a good rapid as a sweet closing . But you could move 3 kms downstream to Bancar bridge to finish your trip at down town of Purbalingga. Right after the take out, you could stop at food shops that are settled by the river. One of my recommendation is to try Sroto Pengadilan, a kind of Purbalingga traditional cuisine, which is just good.
Loop on TBS playspot
Banjaran Wave
How to get there
It is not difficult to reach the put-in in Bobotsari, below Majapura bridge. What you have to do is moving 11 km north from Purbalingga, Central Java Province of Indonesia. There are many public transportation if you would like to. People will help you to tell the direction to Bobotsari when you have been in Purbalingga.
More info
Klawing has significant role in the country's whitewater kayaking development. It's not about its rapids difficulty level which is class II-III in average. But it is becoz the lower section especially at Galuh spot, is ever flowing, so that every body could practice any time 12 months ayear.
It is also playground of Tirtaseta Kayak Community who has mission to increase the popularity of whitewater kayaking in Indonesia. Tirtaseta's kayakers and couples of Indonesian kayakers were born here in Klawing river.
You'll be the only group of kayakers on the river, cause kayaking is still rather unknown in Indonesia. Sometime rafters with 1-2 rafts from Purwokerto, central Java, are seen, but generally you will be the only group of the day. The village people nearby are very friendly and will support you if you need information or anything.

It's the old Libertarian argument-all that talk related to economic issues, state rights and person freedoms had me back peddling. Lawson then made a pitch for his man for President, Ron Paul. The Texas congressman and former Libertarian U.S. Presidential candidate is considered to be a philosophical libertarian, even though he is technically affiliated with the Republican Party.
We went back and forth on the consequences of being tagged as a supporter of one political part. I told him it would be painful for me to align myself with anyone with ties to the Republican Party. Call me blinkered for refusing to see the merits of Lincoln's Party, but I carry too much old baggage around actions taken by those Elephant folks. I'm still in need of therapy for the damage done during the Reagan years.
My issues with Ron Paul go deeper than his political affiliation. At the heart of my disgruntlement is his presupposition that all of America's problems can be solved by revisiting the merits of "The Constitution of the United States". By going back to the conceptions outlined by Washington, Hamilton, Jefferson, and the other so called Father's of the country, we will undo the mess created by those who have misused their power to lead us down this miserable road of confusion.
To begin, I hate it when anyone approaches me with an easy solution to all of our woes. Granted, America is in a mess. It is true we are enduring castigation caused by centuries of congressional misconduct. America has functioned while refusing to honor the very document created to rule the way we operate as a nation. That is a given.
My problem is with the assumptions of the Constitution. Getting back to the original intent is as confusing as finding the kernel of truth in the Bible that will put an end to this muddle called denominationalism. The variety of viewpoints regarding authentic faith makes it virtually impossible to shift the tide when it comes to the way we embrace Biblical truth.
The interpretation of the constitution clouds our ability to step back into the minds of those who wrote those words we hold so dear. That's not to mention the matter of culture, and how they were operating within a specific historical ethos; which makes it difficult for us to evaluate their truth as relevant to our own. An example is gun control. I doubt if they had the prudence to write those words mindful of how guns have changed the way we function in this country. I'll buy dinner for a year to the first person who can prove to me they had the foresight to envision a world embedded in gang activity.
Then there's the matter of contradiction that stands as a reminder of our historical truths. I told Lawson that I, as an African American male, find it difficult to celebrate "The Constitution" when it was fashioned by people who failed to live according to the creeds mentioned in "The Constitution". That Libertarian notion that states "WE hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights..," is difficult for me to read knowing the slaves they owned weren't included in their definition of manhood. The document also assumes that women aren't provided with the same rights as men. So, based on what is written, those given the Rights of life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness are white men.
The point is in the way one enters into a conversation of the intentionality of those who craft an old documents. Void of interpretation, we would be forced to make many of the assumptions made by those who decided to construct laws designed to rule the way we govern our nation. They were locked within their historical vantage point, and, as a result of that, were unable to foresee many of the variables that now block progress.
For some, the Constitution stands as the recipe to the nation's ills. For others, it is a reminder of our historical hypocrisy, and is regarded as an instrument manufactured to keep certain people in the rightful place. For those with the power, it is a great thing. For those broken by the continuation of manipulation and misuse of power, it is a very bad thing.
I wish it was an easy as going back to the intent of those dead white dudes. I didn't trust them then and I certainly wouldn't trust them now. Sorry, come back with another solution.

Youth sports injuries account for nearly 3 million hospital emergency visits each year. While organized athletic programs offer many benefits for children, the incidence of injury is alarming.
Fifty-nine percent of kids between 6 and 17 participating in sports (American Sports Data, 2005; National Survey of Children's Health, 2005). Coaches and parents can make sports safer by understanding the causes of injuries and how to prevent them.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), nearly 30 million children participate in athletics in the United States. Most young athletes will experience minor bruises, strains, and sprains, but the statistics reveal serious safety concerns:
See Stop Sports Injuries for more statistics and watch this video:
Among athletes ages 5 to 14, football was at the top of the sport injury list:
Since 2000, 5 x the number of serious shoulder and elbow injuries among youth baseball and softball players occurred.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's National Electronic Injury Surveillance System reported that of the 46.5 million children who played team sports in 2011, pediatric sports injuries related to 14 common sports activities, including football, cheerleading, soccer and basketball.
In 2012, 12% of all ER visits (163,670) involved a concussion, the equivalent of 1 every 3 minutes. Nearly half (47%) were in kids ages 12 to 15.
See Youth Sports Injuries by Michelle Healy for more.
Concussions are most prevalent in contact sports, such football and soccer. The graphic below (Mark Nowlin, Seattle Times) explains what happens to the brain when an athletes sustains a hard blow to the head.
The CDC provides excellent resources for preventing concussions and traumatic head injuries for young athletes. Improved construction and required use of helmets in contact sports has resulted in greater safety.
Overly intense activity has contributed to the dramatic increase in overuse injuries, such as stress fractures, tendinitis, and osteochondral injuries of the joint surface. However, these were rarely seen when children spent more time engaging in free play.
The risk factors for overuse injuries:

Before leaving to work abroad in Hong Kong in September of 2014, I had lived the entirety of my life, all 22 years, in Oregon. I grew up in the vanilla suburb of Beaverton, 20 minutes outside the city of Portland. At 18 I would experience what at that time would be my most significant change in residency, moving 40 minutes away to North Portland to attend college at the University of Portland.
Not only did I enjoy a purely Oregonian upbringing geographically, I enjoyed familial stability throughout my childhood and formative years as well. I grew up in a textbook nuclear family with parents who were married, a sister 18 months younger than me, a dog and two cats, all situated in a quiet suburban neighborhood. With a garage full of skies, skimboards, hiking boots, kayaks and an SUV, we were 21st century middle-class Americana in its purest form.
And though some grow to detest the place they are raised as they age, as I grew older, I only learned to appreciate Portland more. In college it was to the mountains in the winter, beach in the summer, interesting street fairs, farmers markets, fun bars, and longboarding with friends across one of the various bridges that spanned the Willamette river — all with Mt. Hood and the eastern foothills providing a lush green backdrop for our Northwestern activities.
From birth to college gradation, Portland provided the setting for 22 years of memories, an environment that in my eyes could not have been better for a healthy, if not stereotypical, upbringing. I understood the city, felt a part of it, and I was grateful for feeling a sense of place there. Portland was truly home.
Losing Home
Since college graduation, a lot has changed. After graduation, as almost always happens after you walk across the stage and excitedly enter unemployment, there was a great exodus of my college social circle in which everyone quickly scurried in different directions as they confronted 'the real world.' One friend to Utah, one to San Francisco, one to Washington, one to Hawaii, and so on.
After graduation, as almost always happens after you walk across the stage and excitedly enter unemployment, there was a great exodus of my college social circle in which everyone quickly scurried in different directions as they confronted 'the real world.'
The same goes for my family. After getting divorced in 2011, my parents have gone a number of different directions, settled at the moment with my mother living in Mexico and my father recently back in Portland after living shortly in Florida.
Portland itself has changed as well, or so I have heard. San Francisco 2.0 is slowly being established in the Rose City, forcing most recent grads out and forever changing the feel and vibe of what was a small, largely overlooked metropolis of families, hippies, and artists.
Once the cradle of my identity, the place of my childhood and young adult memories, my social circle and my place in the world, the Portland I knew has since largely dissolved into the ether. Much like the thought experiment of the boat which has every wood board of its hull replaced, Portland is still Portland, but I can no longer say it is the Portland that I grew up in.
I realize now that I may have taken for granted how comforting it was to say with such conviction and certainty the statement I am from Portland, and the role that statement played in my personal identity.
I now hesitate with the question "where you from?" a question that just three years ago would be answered by reflex and with pride.
Where are you from is not precisely the question that gives me pause. It is the underlying question that where are you from causes me to reflect on. Namely, where is my home?
Vietnam is…home?
With Portland now sentimentally foreign in my eyes, my current city of Da Nang, Vietnam, provides little solace for establishing any true sense of place. I am reminded regularly that here in Vietnam I am very much an oddity; people on the street openly stare at me: a large, blue eyed, light-browned haired white man walking among a sea of Vietnamese men and women half his size. People approach for a picture or snap a poorly concealed one. They guess where I am from, laugh affectionately at my inability to understand the language and, when I truly need it, offer a helpful hand. It is all in good nature, but all of these moments serve as reminders I am hardly anywhere I could call, with any sincerity, home.
Just as it was living in Hong Kong or Hanoi, in Da Nang I am on the outside looking in, an observer to a culture I make an honest effort to understand, but could only feel a part of through blinding ignorance of just how separate I am.
With the Portland I knew now largely existing as a backdrop of faded memories and Vietnam a peculiar snow globe that I can hold up and look at with equal parts confusion, affection and objectivity, there seems no place for me to plant a flag of identity, to say again with confidence this is where I am from.
What, then, is the source of satisfaction that overpowers the feeling of loss? What can possibly be gained in the process of having lost what many would identify as the cornerstone of their identity, namely, some unequivocal place in the world to call their own?
Comfort Among the Unfamiliar
The feeling of "place" that is lost by living abroad gives rise to a wholly other feeling and skill altogether: the confidence in one's ability to find comfort among the unfamiliar. And what a skill to have. What before may have been cause for uncertainty, fear or anxiety is now a welcome challenge: the opportunity to enter what is unknown to me, observe the rules, tendencies and behaviors of those around me, and assimilate, to a large extent, to a new environment.
This skill of assimilation is not only a necessary aspect of living abroad, it is a point of pride. Like moss growing on a brick wall, the contrast between myself and my environment is stark: I am not Vietnamese, nor was I a Hong Konger. But this is the privilege skills of assimilation afford: the ability to live comfortably and find place in any environment or society, no matter how different it may be from the ones I have known before.
There continue to be times when I think that there would be nothing more satisfying than having a beer with old friends again in downtown Portland, or eating lunch at a food cart, or grabbing coffee on Northwest 23rd. Hell, just walking into a restaurant without being met with hundreds of unabashedly inquisitive eyes would be a comforting change of pace.
Like soldiers who can't adjust to civilian life because they miss the rush of war, I not only enjoy my current state as an oddity, but am thankful for it everyday.
But I know that the feeling wouldn't last. That I would get bored. That "home," the sort that is familiar and comfortable and known, would quickly become unfulfilling. Thus far, I have trusted my sense that now is time for adventure. Now is a time for night markets and riding on motorbikes and crowding into busy metros and unplanned weekend trips to cities most people only see in magazines or the Travel Channel.
For now, I accept the otherness and the lack of attachment to any one place. Drinking a coffee alone, watching the passersby as they make through the streets on their motorbikes, it is clear that I have not only accepted that I have lost the familiar, but that I now thrive in its absence. Like soldiers who can't adjust to civilian life because they miss the rush of war, I not only enjoy my current state as an oddity, but am thankful for it everyday, and continue to run towards that which is new, weird, odd or different.
