U.S. Women Ace Dominican Republic 3-0 at World Grand Prix

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (June 28, 2008) – Kim Glass (Lancaster, Pa.) and Tayyiba Haneef-Park (Laguna Hills, Calif.) each totaled 14 points as the U.S. Women's National Indoor Volleyball Team swept Dominican Republic 25-13, 25-21, 25-20 on Saturday evening during FIVB World Grand Prix Pool E action at Wroclaw, Poland.
Team USA, 4-1 overall in the World Grand Prix with four consecutive victories, concludes Pool E action versus host Poland on June 29 at 3 p.m. (7 a.m. Mountain Time). The U.S. travels to Chinese Taipei next week to finish the World Grand Prix preliminary round against Poland on July 4, Turkey on July 5 and Italy on July 6. The U.S. is tied for third in the 12-team tournament with Brazil, one loss behind undefeated tournament leaders Italy and China.
"We actually prepared for a difficult, five-set match," U.S. Head Women's Volleyball Coach 'Jenny' Lang Ping said. "Dominican Republic is a good team. They got the qualification, and they won the 2008 Pan American Cup. They play very well, so we had to prepare well, try hard and limit the errors. I'm especially pleased with our serves and hope that we continue to do well."
The FIVB World Grand Prix includes three preliminary round weekends with three different sites each weekend hosting round-robin events of four teams. The World Grand Prix Finals, a round-robin format of the top five teams from the preliminary round plus host Japan, will be played July 9-13 at Yokohoma, Japan. The overall ranking in the preliminary rounds is decided by the total number of World Grand Prix Points (GPP) gained by the teams in the preliminary matches with two points awarded for a win and one point for a loss.
The U.S. picked up an early 7-4 lead in the opening set and used three Glass aces and seven Dominican Republic errors to win 25-13. Team USA used an 8-1 run to assume a 15-9 advantage in the second set en route to a 25-21 victory. The Americans turned in a 6-2 run to break free from a 10-9 advantage in the third set to win 25-20.
Glass, named the most valuable player of the match, scored her 14 points via eight kills on 15 attacks and a personal-high six kills in the match. She also added a team-best 12 excellent service receptions on 19 attempts with two faults and tied for team-high with six digs. Haneef-Park tallied all 14 of her points on kills and 29 swings. Logan Tom (Salt Lake City, Utah) contributed nine kills on 18 attacks and a block for 10 points, while Heather Bown (Yorba Linda, Calif.) added six kills on 12 errorless swings and a team-high four blocks for 10 points. Danielle Scott-Arruda (Baton Rouge, La.) contributed six kills on nine attacks, two blocks and an ace for nine points. Lindsey Berg (Honolulu) rounded out the scoring with a kill while setting Team USA to a .382 attack efficiency and 52 kill percent with 30 assists. Nicole Davis (Stockton, Calif.) charted 10 excellent receptions on 18 attempts. Tom and Berg totaled six digs apiece in the victory.
"We are very excited about the win tonight," Berg said. "It is a big step forward for us at USA Volleyball, to compete during all three sets and be consistent. Our serving won this match for us - our volleyball works extremely well now. We're going to take this win and prepare for the Finals and the Olympics."
The U.S. started Bown and Scott-Arruda at middle blocker, Tom and Glass at outside hitter, Haneef-Park at opposite and Berg at setter. Davis is the designated libero for this leg of the World Grand Prix.
Team USA held advantages in all three scoring phases of the match. The U.S. topped Dominican Republic in kills 44-30, blocks 7-4 and aces 7-2. The U.S. held Dominican Republic to a 39 kill percent for the match as Team USA led 27-15 in team digs.
Milagros Cabral de la Cruz paced Dominican Republic with eight points, while Prisilla Revera Brens and Bethania De La Cruz de Pena each totaled seven points in the loss.
Earlier today in Pool E action, Thailand edged host Poland 19-25, 25-21, 18-25, 25-23, 15-4. In other World Grand Prix matches played today, Germany defeated Kazakhstan 25-17, 25-19, 25-21 and Brazil topped Turkey 25-23, 25-19, 25-15 at Vinh Phuc, Vietnam. At Hong Kong, Italy defeated Cuba 21-25, 25-19, 19-25, 25-20, 15-13 and China handled Japan 25-16, 29-27, 25-22.
The U.S. has qualified for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing and is using the World Grand Prix as an evaluation tool to help determine the 12-player roster for the Olympic Games. Team USA faces Japan on Aug. 9 to open the 2008 Olympic Games. Other teams in the American pool are Cuba (Aug. 11), Venezuela (Aug. 13), China (Aug. 15) and Poland (Aug. 17).
The U.S. scored the first two points of the opening set with a Glass kill after a Dominican Republic error. Dominican Republic answered with three straight points to take a 3-2 advantage. Team USA returned to the lead at 6-4 with two kills from Bown and a kill by Haneef-Park. The U.S. scored a fourth straight point at 7-4 on a Dominican Republic error. Haneef-Park connected for consecutive kills to increase the U.S. margin to 9-5. Team USA stretched the lead to 11-6 on a Scott-Arruda kill and Dominican Republic error. Haneef-Park and Scott-Arruda turned in consecutive kills to push the lead to 13-7. Tom and Scott-Arruda turned in back-to-back kills to increase the U.S. lead to 18-11. The Team USA lead stretched to eight points on a Dominican Republic error and Haneef-Park kill at 20-12. Glass started a 3-0 run of her own with a kill and two aces to push the lead to 23-13. Scott-Arruda added a fourth straight point on a block to reach set point, and Glass ended the set with her third ace in the run at 25-13. Haneef-Park tallied six kills in the opening set, while Glass added five points. Team USA converted 60 percent of its first set attacks into kills.
Dominican Republic grabbed an early 4-1 lead in the second set on four unanswered points. The U.S. narrowed the gap to one at 5-4 on a Tom kill and Bown block. Team USA tied the set at 6-all with a Glass kill after a Dominican Republic error. Glass served two aces between two Haneef-Park kills to put the U.S. in front 11-8 on a 4-0 run. Scott-Arruda crushed a kill followed by a Dominican Republic error for a 13-8 advantage. Tom produced a kill after a Dominican Republic error to extend the gap to six, 15-9. Dominican Republic cut the deficit to four at 16-12 with consecutive points. Haneef-Park connected for consecutive kills to push the Team USA lead to 21-15. Tom followed a Dominican Republic error with a kill to reach set point at 24-17. After Dominican Republic saved four set point opportunities, Tom finished the set with a kill at 25-21. Haneef-Park totaled six kills in the second set, while Tom got on track with five kills. The U.S. scored kills on 48 percent of its second set attacks compared to Dominican Republic's 57 percent.
Glass opened the third set with an ace followed by two Dominican Republic errors for a 3-0 lead. Dominican Republic responded with three quick points to knot the score at 3-all. Bown and Glass tallied kills with a Tom Block putting the U.S. in front 6-3 on three straight points. Dominican Republic came back to tie the set at 8-all. Haneef-Park and Scott-Arruda turned in consecutive kills to put the U.S. in front 10-8. Glass scored back-to-back kills to extend the lead to 12-9. Scott-Arruda followed her own block with an ace to increase the USA advantage to 15-11. Bown added a block at the second technical timeout to put the U.S. in front 16-11. Bown and Scott-Arruda put up consecutive blocks to increase the lead to 20-14. The teams traded two-point runs with Glass providing a kill at 22-16. Haneef-Park and Tom tacked on kills to lift the U.S. into several match points at 24-17. After Dominican Republic saved three match points, Tom ended the match with a kill at 25-20. Bown and Glass provided five points apiece in the third set to pace the Americans. Team USA finished the third set with a 48 kill percent to offset five service errors in the frame.

Really enjoying my variety of samples so far.
Green oolongs are fantastic. Saving the DYL for last...
The oriental beauty, which is a variety of tea I generally buy for daily drinking, is both better and cheaper than offerings from other vendors that I've had before.

Opinion: Fees can't be charged for online records
The Columbus Dispatch - March 07, 2014 02:13 PM
County auditors cannot charge a fee to inspect public records posted online, according to the office of Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine.
DeWine issued an advisory opinion on the topic this week after The Dispatch reported last year that Monroe County Auditor Pandora Neuhart charged $15 a month to inspect real estate records on her office's website.
Ohio public records law permits governmental offices to charge a fee for providing copies of records, but no fees can be charged for inspecting public records, DeWine's opinion said.
Posting public records online is the equivalent of making them available for inspection, the opinion says.
DeWine's office rejected the idea that saving an electronic copy of an online document on a computer and then printing it does not constitute providing a copy for which a fee can be charged.
DeWine issued the advisory opinion in response to a request from Ohio Auditor Dave Yost and Monroe County Prosecutor James Peters. Comment was being sought from Nehuart.

If the airlines didn't fly every time the weather was less than ideal, they'd never fly. As a result, technology and rules are in place to maximize efficiency and opportunity while minimizing risks. One example lies in getting airplanes off the gate when the weather at the destination is forecast to be below minimums.
Like everyone else, the standard IFR 1-2-3 rule applies: If the weather at the destination from one hour before to one hour after the ETA is forecast to be less than 2,000 feet and three miles, an alternate is required. This is no big deal, obviously, and many of us have left with the weather forecast to be right at the minimums for the approach.
However, sometimes the forecast calls for a possibility of weather that is going to be temporarily below the landing minimums. In FAA weather lingo, we call this "conditional phrases," and they consist of BCMG, PROB, and TEMPO. For example, the main body of the forecast may have the visibility at one-half mile, but a TEMPO phrase may show a possible drop to on-quarter mile at the ETA.
When this happens, the airlines that have been granted approval to do so can use what is called Exemption 3585. Under the terms of the exemption, the flight will be required to have not one, but two alternates. Further, the method used to determine the alternates is changed as well.
Remember, the airlines do not use the 600-2 and 800-2 rules that GA use for determining the suitability of an alternate; the rules for determining a Part 121 alternate are beyond the scope of this post, but suffice it to say, it's possible that an airport could be an alternate as long as the forecast is calling for weather of at least 400 feet and one mile.
Under Exemption 3585, the forecast (again, we can use conditional phrases) at the ETA for the first alternate must call for a forecast of no worse than one-half the visibility and ceiling required for the approach. In our example of a 400 and one, the weather at the first alternate can't be forecast to be less than 200 and one-half.
Looking ahead to the second alternate, the FAA has a pretty simple criteria: This one must be essentially a sure thing. The forecast for the second alternate can also utilize conditional phrases. However, this time, the forecast must call for weather—even with conditional phrases—that equal the ceiling and visibility that can be used for the approach. No reductions are allowed. In essence, if the conditional phrases must have such good weather, it stands to reason that the main body is going to be for nearly VFR conditions.
There is one other option: Category 2 approaches. CAT II approaches can be flown with a runway visibility range (RVR) reading of 1,200 feet—that is, one-quarter mile of visibility. Such approaches are a pretty hair-raising experience. However, CAT II approaches are a significant investment because of the maintenance requirements for the airplanes, and if the airline does not have a great deal of diversions in a calendar year caused by low visibility, CAT II isn't worth the cost. Exemption 3585 does the trick.
This is a fairly simple explanation, and the variety of possibilities can get complex and tricky, but Exemption 3585—sort of a poor man's CAT II that was originally put together for People Express—is an indispensible tool, and if you should ever be hired by a regional, you will spend a lot of time in training dissecting Exemption 3585.
The sad thing is that while you while you will spend hours learning 3585, you will rarely use it. In 16 years of airline flying, I have taken full advantage of 3585 fewer than a dozen times. Category II on the other hand….—Chip Wright

*When* we ban guns...I really like the sound of that. And you bring up an excellent, practical questions.
I think this ideal becomes reality when humans evolve a bit more than we already have. Then, we'll *want* to relinquish them. And what to do w/ them? I don't know...melt them down and sculpt a monument to John, how 'bout?
I hate guns. Wouldn't touch one. I hate anything that kills, though, being an old veg. Banning guns wouldn't stop murders. They still have murders in the UK, but I think it would help a bit if they were banned. But, fat chance in this country. The gun lobby is very powerful. I can't say that I would like another monument to John. John has been falsely deified enough already and I don't think he would approve. Too much like Elvis. I don't like the ugly statues that have been made of him since he was murdered. I've seen so many. Gross.

Motorola, a leading maker of various network equipment and mobile phones, has filed a complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) alleging that Apple's iPhone, iPad, iTouch and certain Mac computers infringe Motorola patents. Motorola Mobility also filed similar complaints in the Northern District of Illinois and the Southern District of Florida.
Overall, Motorola Mobility's three complaints include 18 patents, which relate to early-stage innovations developed by Motorola in key technology areas found on many of Apple's core products and associated services, including MobileMe and the App Store. The Motorola patents include wireless communication technologies, such as WCDMA (3G), GPRS, 802.11 and antenna design, and key smartphone technologies including wireless email, proximity sensing, software application management, location-based services and multi-device synchronization.
Motorola Mobility has requested that the ITC commence an investigation into Apple's use of Motorola's patents and, among other things, issue an exclusion order barring Apple's importation of infringing products, prohibiting further sales of infringing products that have already been imported, and halting the marketing, advertising, demonstration and warehousing of inventory for distribution and use of such imported products in the United States. In the District Court actions, Motorola Mobility has requested that Apple cease using Motorola's patented technology and provide compensation for Apple's past infringement.
"We have extensively licensed our industry-leading intellectual property portfolio, consisting of tens of thousands of patents in the U.S. and worldwide. After Apple's late entry into the telecommunications market, we engaged in lengthy negotiations, but Apple has refused to take a license. We had no choice but to file these complaints to halt Apple's continued infringement," said Kirk Dailey, corporate vice president of intellectual property at Motorola Mobility.
Earlier Nokia sued Apple for patent infringement and was later counter-sued by Apple alleging it of doing the same thing. At press time Apple's reaction was not clear.

More than anything, Sykosa is a character-driven story. It's very close to being a slice-of-life novel, in that, though there is an underlying plot and a back story the main characters are often too afraid to talk or think about, most of the story comes across as just a sample of Sykosa's life from both junior and sophomore year of high school.
One could say that the plot is Sykosa's affection for Tom, how she copes with the 'blackness' brought forth from whatever terrible event happened her sophomore year, and how she handles her friendship with Niko, her troubled best friend. Still, it's not a solid plot with a specific conflict and end, though part of this may be because Sykosa is a two part story and the first book is part one.
I like to think of Sykosa as a coming-of-age novel, with the rites of passage being sexuality, betrayal, forgiveness (or a lack thereof), and simply growing up and taking each day as they come. Author Justin Ordonez is truthful and blunt with his portrayal of Sykosa and Niko's lives. He doesn't sugarcoat anything, from cursing to drug usage to the derogatory forms of sexual terms. With that said, I can understand how Sykosa can rub some the wrong way. It doesn't rub me the wrong way because I'm open-minded and nineteen, meaning I still clearly remember what it was like to be obsessed with boys, completely out of touch with your parents, and unsure of where you fit. Heck, I graduated from high school a year ago.
This isn't her story. This isn't her life.
Basically, what I'm getting at is the characters were very realistic, and their reactions to their circumstances - Sykosa to the mystery 'incident' we readers only get bits and pieces of; Niko to the problems with her parents - made sense to me. In a novel that is primarily character-driven, that's an excellent accomplishment.
I really want to learn more about the incident and how Sykosa's relationship with Tom and Niko progress, so part two will definitely be on my to-read list.

About the book: YA fiction for the 18+ crowd. Sykosa is a sixteen-year-old girl trying to reclaim her identity after an act of violence shatters her life and the lives of her friends. Set at her best friend's cottage, for what will be a weekend of unsupervised badness, Sykosa will have to finally confront the major players and issues from this event, as well as decide if she wants to lose her virginity to Tom, her first boyfriend, and the boy who saved her from danger. Get it on Amazon.
About the author: Sykosa is Justin Ordoñez's life's work. He hopes to one day settle down with a nerdy, somewhat introverted woman and own 1 to 4 dogs. Visit Justin on his website, Twitter, Facebook, or GoodReads.

Bombardier CSeries Maiden Flight Delayed for Further Testing
Bombardier said the flight of its new CSeries passenger jet will occur "in the coming weeks," which is past the originally scheduled date of late July.
(Bombardier's CSeries flight test vehicle. Photo, courtesy of Bombardier.)
The company said the integration of the flight test vehicle's auxiliary power unit and Pratt & Whitney PW 1500 engines is "running smoothly." Software upgrades have also been completed, but the main cause of the delay is that the validation of all aircraft systems and ongoing software integration is taking longer than Bombardier originally expected.
"While the process has taken more time than we had expected, we are pleased with the results and are very comfortable taking more time to ensure the required integration is finalized and the CSeries aircraft is cleared for its first flight," said Mike Arcamone, president of Bombardier.

While the final stages of testing continue, Bombardier expects to obtain a flight test permit for the first flight test aircraft "in the coming weeks." To date, 177 firm orders have been recorded for CSeries aircraft.

Strike another blow against so-called convenience and bring back the paper coffee cup with the Greek columns: foam cups and other polystyrene foam packaging, even packing "peanuts," are going bye-bye in New York City.
They're already banned, or will be, in over 100 jurisdictions in the United States, including the District of Columbia; Seattle; Portland, Ore.; Minneapolis and San Francisco, and some 90 other municipalities in California. But the New York City move may signal the death knell for the stuff most of us call by its common (and technically misapplied) name, Styrofoam.

Mind blowing…It's about having an architecture that would enable the creation of a self-sustaining city on Mars with the objective of being a multi-planet species and a true space-faring civilization and one day being out there among the stars…I'm so tempted to talk more about the details of it. But I have to restrain myself. "
Aircraft Interchanges
One seemingly enticing opportunity for business jet owners presented by the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) is the interchange agreement. The rule lets you "interchange" your jet with someone else's, allowing you, in the FAA's words, "to augment or more fully utilize" your aircraft. Ideally, the interchange would maximize use of both jets, and in many cases allow you to target a more appropriate aircraft for a given mission.
The origin of the interchange idea requires explanation. Unless your airplane is on a commercial certificate, you ordinarily can't use it to provide transportation in exchange for compensation. You could lease it to someone who provides his own pilots, but if you furnish the airplane and even one crewmember and compensation is involved, the FAA will deem the flight commercial. Traditionally, this was true even if the compensation wasn't money; it could have been any valuable benefit, including your passenger providing you with transportation on his aircraft. In other words, trading time on your aircraft for time on someone else's required a commercial certificate from the FAA.
But then in 1972, when the agency recognized that these time-trading arrangements were going on, it decided to legalize them. Because the FAA had been using the term "time sharing" to refer to a quite different arrangement, it chose to call the arrangements "interchanges." According to FAR 91.501, in an interchange agreement, "a person leases his airplane to another person in exchange for equal time, when needed, on the other person's airplane, and no charge, assessment or fee is made."
That sounds simple. But say I'm trading time on my Global 5000 for time on your Cessna Citation Bravo. The hourly operating cost (never mind the fixed costs) is almost four times higher for my Global than for your Bravo, so if we trade hour for hour, you're making out like a bandit.
Permissible Charges
Luckily, the FAA took this problem into account. In an interchange agreement, the agency lets me charge you an amount "not to exceed the difference between the cost of owning, operating and maintaining the two airplanes." That can clearly mean more than direct operating costs.
However, the FAA's largess has confused many jet owners. Say hourly flying costs are $10,000 for my Global and $2,500 for your Bravo. We sign an interchange agreement in which I fly 10 hours on your Bravo and you fly 10 on my Global. Since my Global costs four times more to operate than your Bravo, I just bought the most expensive Bravo flight time in history. But here's what saves the day: Our interchange agreement can provide that you pay me the difference between the cost of owning, operating and maintaining the two aircraft, which in this case will be $75,000 ($7,500 per hour times 10 hours).
Now let's change the example slightly. Suppose you fly five hours, not 10, on my Global during the term of our agreement. The FAA's true-up provision still lets you adjust for the hourly cost difference for those five hours but not for the fact that you flew only five hours. At the end of the deal, you're just out of luck. I sometimes think that's exactly what makes interchange agreements work for the FAA: it's hard to think of such a bad deal as providing compensation.
To show how serious the FAA is about this, consider its response to an aviation lawyer who recently asked the agency whether a deal that begins as an interchange agreement "could legally be converted into a time-sharing agreement if there was a usage differential between the two lessees." In my example above, because you didn't use all the hours you were entitled to, you'd have the right to lease my Global under a time share (and pay two times the fuel expense of trips, plus incidental expenses permitted by the FAA) for some number of hours. This isn't exactly a great deal for you, since instead of getting free hours, you have to pay for them, but if you can time share enough hours, it might be worth it. At least, it's better than forfeiting the unused interchange hours.
But that's just what the FAA wants you to do. Responding to the lawyer, the FAA said that letting the parties convert an interchange into a time-sharing agreement "would defeat the purpose" behind the lines it had drawn.
The lesson here may be to avoid the conundrums of the interchange agreement altogether by entering into back-to-back time-sharing agreements. Such agreements will often produce a fairer result, though if both parties to an interchange really do use each other's aircraft for the same number of hours, the "true-up" provision should make the deal equivalent for both parties.
Time-sharing agreements also offer a tax advantage. The federal 7.5-percent transportation excise tax is due on interchanges, but how do you calculate it? In a private ruling, the IRS suggested that the tax applies to a flight's "fair market value." (Similarly, an IRS Audit Technique Guide says the tax is due on "the fair market value of the barter as well as any payment made.") This could be a big number. For this reason, reciprocal time-sharing agreements, under which the "amount paid" is limited to two times fuel and certain incidental expenses, may be the wiser choice.

Icterus, commonly known as jaundice or yellow jaundice, is a condition that may develop rapidly or over time in dogs. The classic feature of jaundice is the presence of a yellow pigment in skin or tissues. A yellow hue is often most apparent in the white tissue of the eyes. Jaundice is not a disease itself, but a clinical sign of an underlying more serious problem.
Jaundice in dogs may be difficult for owners to spot if their dog has pigmented skin or dark hair. The eyes, gums and upper ear flaps are all good areas to check for jaundice, as the condition tends to be a bit easier to spot in these locations.
If you suspect your dog has icterus, the next step is to take the canine to a veterinary clinic in order to diagnose the underlying cause of the problem. The three most common causes of jaundice in dogs are the destruction of red blood cells causing anemia, liver disease or obstruction of the bile duct.
Each of these underlying causes may be brought on by a wide range of diseases and illnesses. For example, red blood cells can be destroyed by parasites, heartworms, cancer or autoimmune disorders. The bile duct may be obstructed by pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, abdominal trauma or various types of cancer. The initial evaluation of jaundice by your veterinarian will include a thorough physical examination as well as blood work and radiographs (xrays) for dogs. It is important for your veterinarian to be involved, so that the exact cause can be found and treated properly.

Three settlements were principal beneficiaries of the Gold Rush.
Illustration XIII: Montgomery Street, San Francisco, 1852. Halftone reproduction of lithograph. Lot 9603. LC-USZ62-55762. #3645
Inland, two smaller and newer towns also reaped the profits of the boom. Johann Sutter had dreamed of a town called "Sutterville" that would make him rich. Instead, squatters and businessmen overran his property on the Sacramento River, and the city of Sacramento was born. It served as the trading center for the Northern Mines and even became the state's capital. Sacramento's significance in the state's economy was reflected when it was chosen as a terminus for Pony Express riders and the depot of the state's first railroad. As the Southern Mines below the Mokelumne became a force, a ranch at the junction of the San Joaquin and Calaveras Rivers gave birth to a settlement first called Tuleberg and then rechristened Stockton. Gateway to the mines on the Calaveras, Stanislaus, Tulomne, Merced, and Mariposa Rivers, Stockton grew quickly.Next: From Gold Rush to Golden State || Previous: The Mines

Knights have high hopes for 2014 season
By Andy Westra
Journal Sports Writer
NEW ULM The Martin Luther College softball team is coming off one of the best seasons in program history, and MLC hopes to continue that success in the 2014 season.
The Knights finished with a program-best 21 wins last season as they finished in third place in the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference postseason tournament, and six starters return from that team for the Knights this season.
MLC returns its ace from last year to the pitcher's circle in sophomore Kathryn Marquardt. Marquardt recorded team bests in innings pitched (122.2), ERA (5.65), wins (10) and strikeouts (40).
Junior captain Emily Waldek and freshman Kelli Doell could also provide some valuable innings for the Knights.
Senior Captain Andrea Biedenbender returns behind the plate at catcher for MLC, and is the lone 2013 All-UMAC performer returning for the Knights. Biedenbender started all 36 games for the Knights in 2013 and led the team in multiple categories at the plate including batting average (.453), runs (35), slugging percentage (.651) and walks (17).
"Emily (Waldek) and Andrea (Biedenbender) have a very good knowledge of the game and are great motivators and leaders on and off the field," MLC head coach Barbara Leopold said.
Waldek and junior MacCartney Mendolla also each hit above .300 last season and will be forces for opposing pitchers to reckon with. Along with Biedenbender, they will be an important part the lineup.
"Our team has shown that we are going to be a strong hitting team," Biedenbender said.
MLC returns its right side of the infield in Morgan Kumbier and UMAC All-Defense team member Mendolla, but it faces the challenge of replacing Amber Krause and Amanda Fogle on the left side after they graduated.
Shortstop could be occupied by Mendolla after she played second in her first two seasons. Newcomers Caitlin Seastrand, Kelli Doell and Emily Wessel look to provide depth at the other open spots in the infield.
Waldek and sophomore Maggie Schultz return to start in the outfield. Returners Kate and Sara Willems along with freshman Sarah Couture will round out the outfield.
The Knights started off their season on Thursday and Friday at a tournament in the Twin Cities held at the Plymouth Creek Dome. They went 5-0 in their games there to start the season on a strong note. Much of their success is attributed to how well the team is coming together early in the season.
"The team is getting along great," Leopold said. "The positive communication on and off the field really helps the outcome of our play."
Waldek confirmed the strong bonds which have quickly formed between the players.
"Our team has a great camaraderie," Waldek said. "It's blessing to play with each of these girls."
MLC was picked to finish fifth in the UMAC pre-season coach's poll, but the Knights think they have what it takes to finish in the top four and make it back to the postseason tournament.
"If we keep up this confidence, I believe we will play very well and be competitive in UMAC play," Leopold said.
MLC will play again next Saturday against Loras College in Mt. Vernon, Iowa.

While listening on "shuffle" the other day, and with all the hype of Paul's new album, I began projecting on each song whether Paul signing it would be good/better?
It is kind of a game I play now while listening, it might not be healthy but i figured this place would understand.
So...any song you'd like to hear Paul cover that he's not ever publicly recorded? How big a tribute would that be if he covered a random song during a show?

Skip to comments.Homosexual S&M part of Christianity? Religion 'scholars' ponder 'leather' as foundation
Posted on 10/08/2004 2:59:29 AM PDT by JohnHuang2
An annual convention of American religion scholars from prominent institutions will feature sessions favorable toward sadomasochism, transvestism, transsexualism and polyamory participation in multiple sexual relationships.
One paper scheduled to be presented interprets a passage in the book of Jeremiah "through the lens" of a sadomasochistic encounter between God and a man.
The presentations offered at the American Academy of Religion's 2004 Annual Meeting in San Antonio next month demonstrates that "bringing male homosexual behavior into the mainstream produces a slippery slope" that serves only to destroy basic societal norms rather than tame risky behavior, says Robert A. J. Gagnon, associate professor of New Testament at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary.
Two workshops on the sexual themes are being offered by the Gay Men's Issues in Religion Group at the meeting, scheduled for Nov. 20-23.
"One wonders what is next for the Gay Men's group at AAR the promotion of incest, 'pedosexuality' and bestiality?" Gagnon asked in a written critique. "There is certainly little or nothing in the presenters' theology that would lead away from such ultimate absurdities."
Founded in 1909, the American Academy of Religion is the U.S. national umbrella organization for professors of religion, including church historians, theologians, ethicists and scholars in world religions. More than 7,500 scholars are expected to gather to share research and collaborate on projects.
Workshops will include a session with the theme "Power and Submission, Pain and Pleasure: The Religious Dynamics of Sadomasochism."
Another session presents arguments for transvestism and transsexualism in Christian theology.
At last year's meeting, the group presented a session titled "Love Is a Many Splendored Thing: Varied Views on Polyamory."
An abstract on the "Power and Submission" session says "sadomasochistic or bondage/dominance practice (sometimes also referred to as 'leather sexuality') ... offers a particularly potent location for reflecting on gay men's issues in religion."
A paper submitted for the session by Justin Tanis of Metropolitan Community Church is titled "Ecstatic Communion: The Spiritual Dimensions of Leathersexuality."
"This paper will ... look briefly at the ways in which leather is a foundation for personal and spiritual identity formation, creating a lens through which the rest of life is viewed. ... All of this based within the framework of a belief in the rights of individuals to erotic self-determination with other consenting adults, rather than apologetics for those practices and lives."
Another paper, by Thomas V. Peterson of Alfred University, titled "S/M Rituals in Gay Men's Leather Communities: Initiation, Power Exchange, and Subversion," uses "S/M rituals within the gay men's leather community to explore how ritual may subvert cultural icons of violence by eroticizing power."
"Those who exercise power and acquiesce to it in leather rituals meet as respected equals and negotiate the limitations of power according to mutual desires," the abstract of Peterson's paper says.
Ken Stone of Chicago Theological Seminary says a passage from the book of Jeremiah, chapter 20, verses 7-18, "can be construed more usefully as a kind of ritual S/M encounter between the male deity Yahweh and his male devotee."
"This possibility provides a lens with which to interpret both other passages in the book of Jeremiah and the dynamics of power and submission in religious experience," says the abstract to the paper, which is titled "'You Seduced Me, You Overpowered Me, and You Prevailed': Religious Experience and Homoerotic Sadomasochism in Jeremiah."
Timothy R. Koch of New Life Metropolitan Community Church offers a paper titled "Choice, Shame, and Power in the Construction of Sadomasochistic Theologies."
Essentially, Koch argues "sadomasochistic interactions" enable homosexual men to transcend "shamelessness."
"One of the constitutive elements of sado-masochistic interactions is the removal of the masochists choices, making it possible for both masochist and sadist to proceed in a spiritually powerful state of relative shamelessness," says the summary of Koch's paper. "These axes of choice, shame, and spiritual power are especially relevant to the experiences of gay men."
Julianne Buenting of Chicago Theological Seminary offers a paper titled "Oh, Daddy! God, Dominance/Submission, and Christian Sacramentality and Spirituality"
Buenting's piece "explores BDSM (bondage/dominance, sadomasochism) as potentially transformative encounter in relation to themes of trust and surrender, suffering and pleasure, self-shattering and self-donation found in Christian sacramentality and mystical spirituality ... ."
Finally, Kent Brintnall of Emory University presents "Rend(er)ing God's Flesh: The Body of Christ, Spectacles of Pain, and Trajectories of Desire."
"This paper substantiates the claim ... that sado-masochistic homoerotic desire is part of what makes the spectacle of the crucifixion attractive and desirable."
'Queer theology'
The Sunday session of the Gay Men's Issues in Religion Group devotes time to transvestitism.
Katharine Baker of Vanderbilt University offers a paper on The Transvestite Christ: Hedwig and the Angry Inch Perform Queer Theology."
"In the rock musical Hedwig & The Angry Inch, Hedwig, the protagonist, re-signifies his identity through gender-bending transvestism and doctrine-deconstructing re-appropriation of Christian theology. This essay documents his evolution in the terms of Bourdieu, Butler and Queer Theology."
In a session at last year's meeting, Chicago Theological Seminary's Buenting offered "(Marriage) Queered: Proposing Polyfidelity As Christian Theo-Praxis."
"Lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgender (LGBT) political advocacy ... have reflected the unexamined assumption that monogamy is the sole and ideal pattern for Christian sexual relationships. This paper troubles that assumption. ... I conclude by proposing polyfidelity as a queer Christian sexual theo-praxis of marriage."
Gagnon commented that at least the writer is honest, acknowledging a "'queer' theology and praxis leads to a view of 'polyfidelity' over monogamy as a new Christian model for marriage."
"Since the notion of monogamy, one partner, is predicated on the notion of the two sexes, the eradication of any significance to sexual differentiation obliterates the model of marriage as a covenant restricted to two persons," Gagnon says. "Evidently for the presenter, fidelity has nothing to do with sexual exclusiveness."
In another paper presented last year, Robert E. Goss of Webster University, in "Proleptic Sexual Love: God's Promiscuity Reflected in Christian Polyamory," argued "Christian religious communities, with their erotic and polyamorous relationships, symbolize the breadth of Gods inclusive and promiscuous love."
Jay E. Johnson of Richmond, Calif., wrote in "Trinitarian Tango: Divine Perichoretic Fecundity in Polyamorous Relations" that "Christian traditions abruptly stop short of applying this Trinitarian logic to human sexuality."
"It is well worth asking whether polyamorous sexual relations reflect the 'imago Dei' indeed, the 'imago Trinitate' better than the dyadic model of romantic love, commonly constructed as the Christian ideal."
No understanding
Gagnon says these sessions present no understanding "of the notion of structural prerequisites to sexual relationships. Eroticism and sexual intercourse is nothing more than greater intimacy. The conclusion following from the premise is inevitable: Then intimacy with one's parents and children should be ever open to the 'logical' progression of sexual intimacy. For sexual intimacy is for the presenters merely more love. Spread it around."
"Jesus' view of the relationship of love and sexual intercourse was obviously very different," Gagnon said. "For while Jesus expanded the definition of love to embrace everyone he narrowed the definition of acceptable sexual intimacy to embrace only one person of the other sex for life."
He asks: "Who is missing something here? Jesus or the Gay Men's group at AAR?"
The AAR says it has received support from a number of foundations, including the Lilly Endowment Inc., the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Henry Luce Foundation, the Booth Ferris Foundation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education.
Someday, they'll get to ask God Himself if their theory was right.
Okay, note to self:
Remember to have no respect for the 'American Academy of Religion'.
Also, remember to laugh at them regularly.
O Brave New World to have such people in it. (rolleyes)
(Jer 20:7 KJV) O LORD, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived: thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am in derision daily, every one mocketh me.
(Jer 20:8 KJV) For since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of the LORD was made a reproach unto me, and a derision, daily.
(Jer 20:9 KJV) Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.
(Jer 20:10 KJV) For I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. Report, say they, and we will report it. All my familiars watched for my halting, saying, Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.
(Jer 20:11 KJV) But the LORD is with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten.
(Jer 20:12 KJV) But, O LORD of hosts, that triest the righteous, and seest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I opened my cause.
(Jer 20:13 KJV) Sing unto the LORD, praise ye the LORD: for he hath delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers.
(Jer 20:14 KJV) Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed.
(Jer 20:15 KJV) Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto thee; making him very glad.
(Jer 20:16 KJV) And let that man be as the cities which the LORD overthrew, and repented not: and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the shouting at noontide;
(Jer 20:17 KJV) Because he slew me not from the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb to be always great with me.
(Jer 20:18 KJV) Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
Ummm, This is an S&M account?
I quit going to church and only go to home bible studies.
It is if you don't bother to read the Bible. That way you can just make crap up.
Me, too..I was always taught that in the "last days" before Christ returns, the true church will be forced, through persecution, to go underground. What we are seeing is a drastic transformation within the church by those who distort the central core issues set forth in the Scripture about how we should live. I believe that severe consequences in response to the widespread breaking of the 10 Commandments are built into creation and, in my opinion, those will come about. All we have to do is read the Old Testament to discover what happens to a nation which turns away from God...
bump for later
Um... how very, very bizarre.
Sounds like the Cult of Clintonism, religion of sex.
Where do they find these people. Sick!
They're all over the place. Some of them are in your kid's public school:
I think these people are in for a very rude awakening when they meet their Maker. They are purposefully twisting His Word to validate and excuse their own sin. "Ignorance" will be no excuse!
Well, that is a perfect description of the gathering together of the "church", which is not a literal building. The early church consisted of small home gatherings of believers (the church).
Frankly... that's exactly why I consider this a good and happy and serendipitous development.
"The Spiritual Dimensions of Leathersexuality" doesn't win these folks any converts to their cause. It simply sharpens the Threshing Sledge between Christianity and Anti-Christianity, and gives the lie to the false idol of Ecumenicism and its apostles.
Here's one for the archive and your ping lists.
Am I a bad parent because I refuse to teach my children tolerance to this stuff?
Don't have to time now, but folks, read Romans 1. Yeah, it's often quoted about homosexuality. But the most far-reaching and profound message in Romans 1 is how people substitute the obvious light of God's truth for their own foolishness, seeming wise in their own eyes.
Romans 1 describes a lot of what ails this post-Christian Western culture.
-- Joe
Yes, very, very bad. You will be reported to the child abuse division of your county's social services department.
Excellent take on this, OP!
Clearly a divinely guided, spiritual insight.
Even so, come quickly, Lord Jesus.
Yep, that's right. More than that, J. Vernon McGee (who's not exactly known as a kook) pointed out that when that End Times persecution does come, it'll be the churches leading the charge.
Still, there are a few good ones left. If you can find one, great. If not, a home Bible study is fully capable of becoming your congregation.
Aw, shucks... Curb your enthusiasm. ;-)
Mind you, I don't think that the conservative reaction against such blatant heterodoxy (or maybe "homodoxy?") will be sufficient to "save" such denominations as the Presbyterian Church USA and the United Methodist Church. Too far gone, IMO.
However, I am hopeful that it will help to drive remaining religious conservatives into the ranks of the "Confessors Movement" within these Denominations, swelling their numbers before the inevitable schism...
...Leaving to the apostles of Homodoxy, only a withered rump of each denomination.
Okay, that pun was bad.
But as with my use of the term "Propertarian" to distinguish my property-centric beliefs from strict Libertarianism, GOOGLE informs me that I'm not the first to coin the word:
Indeed. At the moment I'm without words.

|Homosexual Agenda: Categorical Index of Links (Version 1.0)
|Homosexual Keyword Search
Let me or little jeremiah know if you want on or off the homosexual agenda ping list.
GAK! These folks need to get REAL jobs and actually WORK for a living! They obviously have WAY too much time on their hands.
Gag. There was another article about this confab of demons the other day, but this one goes into more horrible detail about their perfidy and blasphemy.
Note this:
"One paper scheduled to be presented interprets a passage in the book of Jeremiah "through the lens" of a sadomasochistic encounter between God and a man."
They are so much in the dark that I can only compare them to maggots. Rhymes too.
This sure didn't help me restore my natural cheer.
Hey, George, you have a very good memory!
Good to hear from you again.
Hey, remember to only use that verse sparingly.
I used it on my all posts and it really annoyed some people! (LOL!)
But weren't you were the ones who gave me a hard time about using it on all my posts?
I guess I should have used it as a tagline instead.
By then it will be too late for them. Buhbye, folks. Don't let the door to hell hit your butt on your way down.
Not necessarily just Calvinists and Baptists. There are many pentecostal type churches who also hold the line. I know our church does and there are many others.
Use "Maranatha" instead. I think it means the same thing but maybe not so recognizable? Maybe you can fool a few (smile).
Only ones? Nonsense.
This garbage is one of the reasons Islam is spreading so fast.
These nuts should be defrocked and expelled from the Christian Churches.
In hell it will be rump roast.
(You started it.....:>)
Even so come quickly, Lord Jesus.
A special dispensation of grace, ftD. You can now use it with impunity.
Well gee...it's not like they've had 2000 years of warning or anything...;))
Some hope to avoid the consequence by avoiding the truth.
A pointless endeavor, at best.
What a sad, demented group this is. Gay Men's Issues? There's only one issue, and that's repentance. May God straighten out their perverted thinking before it's too late.
Thinking themselves wise they became fools.

Zias late comeback falls short
October 27, 2008
WICHITA FALLS, Texas — The Eastern New Mexico University women's soccer team waited just a little too long to get going on Sunday.
Trailing 2-0, sophomore defender Christie Nylaan scored on a header with just over 1 1/2 minutes left, but Midwestern State goalkeeper Heather Primavera made a sliding, one-on-one stop of a shot by the Zias' Alicia Cunningham as time expired to preserve the Mustangs' 2-1 Lone Star Conference victory.
The loss knocked the Zias (8-9, 2-6 LSC) out of contention for the upcoming league tournament. Meantime, Midwestern (11-6, 5-3) maintained its hold on fourth place in the conference.
The teams battled to a scoreless tie for nearly 70 minutes before Midwestern broke through on a goal by Brandy O'Neal. The Mustangs tacked on another goal, but Kari Bristow, in the 78th minute.
Nylaan headed in a deflection off Primavera with 1:37 left to pull the Zias within a goal. ENMU kept the pressure on and forced a turnover in the Mustangs' zone, giving Cunningham a last-second chance to force overtime.
ENMU wraps up its season with LSC matches at Angelo State on Friday and at Abilene Christian on Sunday.

Getting a new kitten is an exciting time. New owners must be aware that this is the most important time to establish routines that will ensure a healthy kitten and cat.
One extremely important step that all new owners must take is adhering to a schedule of kitten vaccines. Kittens form an immunity to most diseases naturally when they drink their mother's milk. However, this immunity only lasts a few short weeks. Vaccinations are designed to boost the cat's immunity once this protection wears off. Typically, vaccinations are given at 8, 12 and 16 weeks, but this schedule may vary depending on the breed and other factors. These booster shots protect against upper respiratory infection in cats, feline distemper, rabies and more. Discuss your kitten's lifestyle with your vet to determine if they may benefit from vaccination against feline leukemia or other infectious diseases.
A cat's behavior and personality are also developed during the first several weeks of life, so it's important that owners pay close attention to how their kitten is reacting to and socializing in its new environment. Cats are naturally curious, but don't let the kitten go too far too quickly. Initially it is a good idea to give the kitten a room or area of the house it can call "home" and then gradually extend the territory as it becomes familiar. This is also an important time for training the kitten. Poor behavior can be punished with spray bottles or loud noises, but don't get too harsh and good behavior should be rewarded with treats. Your veterinarian can make further recommendations for this important period in a cat's life. Additional tips on raising a healthy kitten.

Igor Tuveri, who signs his work with Igort, was born in Cagliari in 1958. At the age of twenty, he moved to Bologna where he began his career as an author of comics. He published his first professinal work in Linus in 1980. In the following year, he launched the independent magazine Il Pinguino, together with Daniele Brolli, Roberto Baldazzini, Lorenzo Matotti and Giorgio Carpinteri. This resulted in Valvoline, and art group founded in Bologna in 1982, that published Alter Alter supplement of Linus.
Igort's work subsequently appeared in magazines like Frigidaire and Vanity (Italy), Métal Hurlant and L'Écho des Savanes (France) and The Face (Britain). He also set up his own magazines, including Dolce Vita, Fuego and Due, all a mix of comics, illustrations and journalistic/artistic chronicles. Among the books that Igort produced for (inter)national publishers are 'Goodbye Boabab' (Milano Libri, 1987) and 'Nerboruto' (Edizioni Becassine, 1987), 'La Léthargie des Sentiments' (Albin Michel, 1988), 'Dulled Feelings' (Catalan Communications, 1990), 'L'Enfer des Désirs' (Humanoïdes Associés, 1991), 'That's all Folks' (Granata Press, 1993), 'Cartoon Aristocracy' (Carbone, 1994) and 'Perfetti i Invisibli' (Skirà, 1996).
In 1990s, he began a fruitful production for the Japanese market, which resulted in the series 'Amore et Yuri' (Kodansha) and more experimental works for the alternative label Hon Hon Do. In 2000, he founded Coconino Press, his own publishing firm, through which he published 'Sinatra', 'City Lights', '5 è il Numero Perfetto' and 'Yuri et Brillo'. In 2004, Coconino Press and Vertige Graphic joined forces and co-published the album 'Boabab', followed by the review 'Black'. In addition, Igort made the album 'Fats Walter' in cooperation with scriptwriter Jorge Zentner at Casterman in 2004. Igort is also woking as a scriptwriter and animator for radio broadcasts, and works for cinema and television.

Skip to comments.Eating our own...Time to make a new start in Free Republic.
Posted on 07/26/2004 7:41:11 PM PDT by Bob J
The last few months I've seen an increasing trend for FReepers to start going for each others jugular. Sometimes we forget (I've certainly done it myself) that in the grand scheme of things, we are on the same team. We may disagree on priorities or how far we are willing to go, but we have enough enemy in the left without creating more amongst ourselves. We can disagree but be civil to each other. We can debate nuance, but not believe that our personal positions are more important than the health of the whole. Let's argue vigorously but remind ourselves the guy whose trachia we are ripping out today may be sitting next to us in a foxhole tommorrow.
I'm going to propose that we all make a new start. Let's put all past differences behind us and resolve to band together and fight the good fight, the elimination of liberalism as a significant culturual influence in America...and see that to its end in our lifetimes.
If you agree, please post your thoughts and ping your lists and your friends to this thread.
and keep us posted on your campaign
Where are the Viking kitties ... we could all get along just admit that I am ALWAYS right.
All the newbies lately who are allegedly "looking for a reasonable debate" always have the same MO.
First, they talk about how they thought this site was about freedom, free speech, etc. and there sure doesn't seem to be much tolerance for dissenting views.
Then, they go on about some of the ruder, funny posts and say they're mean spirited. So, they waste more bandwidth complaining, inviting more catcalls.
And on it goes, til they're banned or stop posting.

NooB! Pacifist! TreeHugger! RINO!
I for one have enjoyed the new fire and brimstone destructive comments and cold technical troll baiting exhibited on the forums in the last 6 months. To use a concept from the left, the reason I see it getting so cold over here, there aren't enough new memes being produced on our side, and everyone is getting reactionary instead of proactive. That being said, I think we need more contrails and conspiracy theory threads again, to let those looking for blood attack people in a controlled environment, without consequence.
I also agree wholeheartedly. FR should always be friendly, fun, and intellectually honest. You don't have to agree with everyone (but let the ZOT's fall where they may)
Besides, I think Billyboy may have done more to unite freepers in the past couple of minutes than y'all might realize.
Don't hate the playa...hate the game! ;-)
Oh Dude!
Right on post95
No ping for me? :( Just for that...
< hug >
S'okay... I won't win anyway. We're lucky if the press even acknowledges that we are actual candidates, and that's a shame, because we've got a good man running for lieutenant governor:
Mike Ferguson is a pretty decent guy, from what I can tell, and compared to the melonheaded SOB we have for governor, I wish Ferguson would run for HIS job.
hehehe and in the interest of freeper love and harmony I promise to not be catty when you horny old goats-I mean my FRiends post pics of XXXXX, and YYYYYYY and the most annoying chick ZZZZZZZZZZ.
You cannibal, they don't volunteer they get voted off the island. Then you can have them for dinner.
Nice points.
Well said!
Free Republic should be where we can recharge our batteries before going out "amongst them English."
I happen to think that conflict is essential to growth. Let all hell break loose. It only makes us stronger.
Come over here and say that to my face, Mr. Man.
Would someone be good enough to place a third black dot just above the other two? Thanks.
I switched it off after his spew about SEND ME TO VIETNAM give me a break Clinton
And Don Morgan
I'd vote for you if you were in my state.
Good luck, and don't say you'll lose BEFORE
the election. Go to work! Campaign!
What you say!
I thought I pinged your beeber.
The only reason my registration number is in the thirties is because I'm on west coast time ;-}.
I thought so, I just got home and realized I missed the meeting.
Dio is gonna be mad at me..
I am sorry to have missed it.
So a beeber looks kinda like a hackysack. Hmmm.
No fights... just caught up in the moment... *sniff* so beauteeful

I'm willing to bury the hatchet with 'tooth.
I didn't switch it off, but got to my computer for the running commentary on here..... what fun!!!
As long as power trumps principle within the GOP, liberalism will always be given an escape hatch...
Therefore I say stop, pause, and assess our "differences."
Our own can do with an occassional kick in the @ss when need be.
How many old timers have you seen depart in the last few months over little things that seems to have been routine or put up with in the early days. I no longer see those early names. But I know many are just lurking now or have changed their names. It;s time to get back to basics again. a grassroot organization.
Of course it is. It's all democrat aaaaaaaallllllll the time on TV and Radio. I'm not talking about talk radio...I'm talking about regular Country & Western and Rock stations. I've never seen anything like it. It is absolutely disgusting. I slap down rats all day...especially union punks at work all the time and all day long. It's exhausting countering their lies all the time.
The one good sign is that I know that many union guys won't vote for kerry no matter what their union tells them. They are still men, and real men know we need to protect our wives and children and our civilization.
No need to stop the bloodshed... we're on the verge of Universal Healthcare ;-)
I applaud your wisdom and grace in striving for the higher ground and will make an effort to follow in your admirable footsteps. Thanks.
Can You Feel The Love Tonight...
Some of the newbies have called me an old fogie. Oh well! Anybody know how far up we are on the registration numbers?
Hillary must have visited Dr.90210.
Hear, hear!
Yes, I was stuned when I came acrost it.
OK, so I've ALWAYS hated f**king liberals and I've always thought you to be a very cool guy. Is that ok?? Have I missed something???
NOTE TO READERS: If you disagree with the above, come talk to me about it and I'll kick your.................................................ok ok, I'll let it go this once.
Don't you hate it when people neglect to do a search before posting?
No...haven't had my beeber pinged since I broke up with wassername last year. ;)
I love all you true blue Freepers out there. Yep, even you squishy, moderate Republicans. Let's win this damn election in November for the good of the country!
Hey now I only get that friendly with male freepers. Thanks.
Man, it doesn't matter if I do campaign - which I will - I simply don't have the money or backing.
Look at my "congressman", Roy Blunt. He's so arrogant, he doesn't NEED to put out signs or stoop to the soiling of his hands with unnecessary debates with his competitors; he has a job for life, and, God help us, might be Speaker of the House someday.

An End and a Beginning
By jerrysblog on Sep 13, 2010
I have worked at Sun, and now Oracle, for longer than I really want to admit, but I have reached a point in my career where I feel that I need to try something new. Today, September 13th, 2010, is my last day at Oracle. For the past 5 years I've worked on zones. The zones team is such an outstanding group of engineers and I'm going to miss working with them. I've learned a lot from them, as well as all of the other engineers at Sun that I have been privileged to work with over the years.
Now, I'm moving on to something new. Tomorrow I start work at Joyent. Hopefully I'll have a chance to blog more than I've done recently. My blog is moving to dtrace.org. I'll continue to work on zones, and Solaris in general, at Joyent, and I'm excited about the new new challenges ahead. There are obviously a lot of changes going on with Solaris right now, so its going to interesting. And fun!
