Hello young lady..!! Just a quick shoutout to you , to wish you a super nice weekend. Do take care and feel free to keep in touch.
Cinco de Mayo
The 5th of May is not Mexican Independence Day, but it should be! And Cinco de Mayo is not an American holiday, but it should be. Mexico declared its independence from mother Spain on midnight, the 15th of September, 1810. And it took 11 years before the first Spanish soldiers were told and forced to leave Mexico.
So, why Cinco de Mayo? And why should Americans savor this day as well? Because 4,000 Mexican soldiers smashed the French and traitor Mexican army of 8,000 at Puebla, Mexico, 100 miles east of Mexico City on the morning of May 5, 1862.
The French had landed in Mexico (along with Spanish and English troops) five months earlier on the pretext of collecting Mexican debts from the newly elected government of democratic President (and Indian) Benito Juarez. The English and Spanish quickly made deals and left. The French, however, had different ideas.
Under Emperor Napoleon III, who detested the United States, the French came to stay. They brought a Hapsburg prince with them to rule the new Mexican empire. His name was Maximilian; his wife, Carolota. Napoleon's French Army had not been defeated in 50 years, and it invaded Mexico with the finest modern equipment and with a newly reconstituted Foreign Legion. The French were not afraid of anyone, especially since the United States was embroiled in its own Civil War.
The French Army left the port of Vera Cruz to attack Mexico City to the west, as the French assumed that the Mexicans would give up should their capital fall to the enemy -- as European countries traditionally did.
Under the command of Texas-born General Zaragosa, (and the cavalry under the command of Colonel Porfirio Diaz, later to be Mexico's president and dictator), the Mexicans awaited. Brightly dressed French Dragoons led the enemy columns. The Mexican Army was less stylish.
General Zaragosa ordered Colonel Diaz to take his cavalry, the best in the world, out to the French flanks. In response, the French did a most stupid thing; they sent their cavalry off to chase Diaz and his men, who proceeded to butcher them. The remaining French infantrymen charged the Mexican defenders through sloppy mud from a thunderstorm and through hundreds of head of stampeding cattle stirred up by Indians armed only with machetes.
When the battle was over, many French were killed or wounded and their cavalry was being chased by Diaz' superb horsemen miles away. The Mexicans had won a great victory that kept Napoleon III from supplying the confederate rebels for another year, allowing the United States to build the greatest army the world had ever seen. This grand army smashed the Confederates at Gettysburg just 14 months after the battle of Puebla, essentially ending the Civil War.
Union forces were then rushed to the Texas/Mexican border under General Phil Sheridan, who made sure that the Mexicans got all the weapons and ammunition they needed to expel the French. American soldiers were discharged with their uniforms and rifles if they promised to join the Mexican Army to fight the French. The American Legion of Honor marched in the Victory Parade in Mexico, City.
It might be a historical stretch to credit the survival of the United States to those brave 4,000 Mexicans who faced an army twice as large in 1862. But who knows?
In gratitude, thousands of Mexicans crossed the border after Pearl Harbor to join the U.S. Armed Forces. As recently as the Persian Gulf War, Mexicans flooded American consulates with phone calls, trying to join up and fight another war for America.
Mexicans, you see, never forget who their friends are, and neither do Americans. That's why Cinco de Mayo is such a party -- A party that celebrates freedom and liberty. There are two ideals which Mexicans and Americans have fought shoulder to shoulder to protect, ever since the 5th of May, 1862. VIVA! el CINCO DE MAYO!!
Greetings my dear friend. Hope that you are having a great day and week. I sure am! A week of big news for sure. Stay safe and enjoy life daily!

Recovery Funds Deliver Advanced Broadband Services to South Texans
Written by Katie Yocum, USDA Rural Development, with assistance from Gayle Cargo, Texas Rural Development Public Information Coordinator
In the Rio Grande Valley of Texas, where hurricanes are known to ravage the coastline, temperatures regularly hit the triple digits and a trip to "town" can put over 200 miles on the odometer, Valley Telephone Cooperative, Inc. (VTCI) provides telecommunications services to a rural, culturally diverse population. Since 1999, VTCI has provided its customer base with world-class broadband connectivity, but neighboring communities outside their service area languished without access to any broadband services. But now, funding through the Broadband Initiatives Program, authorized through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, will enable VTCI to bring first-rate broadband connectivity to those under-served communities via a fiber-based and fixed wireless infrastructure.
VTCI, through its subsidiary VTX Telecom, will provide advanced broadband services to eleven underserved communities in South Texas Plains, offering access to over 19,000 homes, 778 businesses and 196 key community anchor institutions, such as schools, libraries, and public safety institutions.
Almost all of the communities to be served by the new broadband technology are weighed down by high unemployment and persistent poverty. In the rural town of Raymondville, Texas, more than one-third of the residents live below the poverty line.
Staff from he University of Texas-Pan American Cooperative Center spent more than a month traveling the South Texas neighborhoods, conducting interviews and compiling information for the company to use in applying for the funds. That research helped make the application for the financial assistance more competitive, said George Bennack, associate director of business development for UTPA's Business Development Centers.
The announcement of the funding award was made in April at an event attended by Deputy Under Secretary for Rural Development Victor Vasquez. "Expanding broadband capabilities to these rural locales will provide opportunities for existing businesses to grow and new ones to move to the area, as well as making education available for students," said Vasquez.
Improved access to advanced broadband services will offer rural residents, like those of Raymondville, an opportunity to pursue higher education online, search for employment, or to connect their small or home-based business to the national and global markets. And beyond the many benefits that broadband access deliver, VTCI estimates that the construction of this project will create or save roughly 160 jobs, which will have a more immediate positive economic impact on the South Texas Plains region.

New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick broke his silence Wednesday, four weeks after former Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was charged with murder.
Belichick said he was "shocked and disappointed" when he learned of the situation. He said the team will tweak how they currently evaluate players.
"We try to look at every single situation on a case by case-by-case basis and try to do what's best for the football team and what's best for the franchise. Most of those decisions have worked out, but some don't. Overall, I'm proud of the hundreds of players that have come through this program and I'm personally disappointed and hurt in a situation like this."
Hernandez has pleaded not guilty after being arrested and charged on Jun2 16 in the shooting death of Boston semi-professional football player Odin Lloyd. Lloyd's body was found in an industrial park near the North Attleborough home of Hernandez.

GDB 37: No threats on horizon
January 03 2009 06:12PM
When we got our tickets to tonight's game we told ourselves "we will witness a win at RX1 this weekend come hell or high water." And we guarantee that this will be the case. See, we went to our first Oil Kings game last night and witnessesd what (we remember to be) a 4-1 win. And it was during this game that it became apparent that the Oil Kings staff are working their collective butts off to provide an entertaining evening for their fans.
Prize giveaways, a mascot and an awesome funky fresh dance break once a period where everyone gets to stand up and Vogue their hearts out. That's some gangster shiz. Oh and did we mention baby races?
It was pretty much as it sounds. 8 babies on a special baby racing track on the ice during the first intermission. The winner got a $500 Baby Gift Certificate or something from ATB. Probably the best display of athleticism we have seen at RX1 since the beer vendor fell down three steps in our section in 2007 and didn't spill a drop of beer (true story.) Unlike falling beer vendor 2007, Baby Races 2008 were rigged - given half a chance your ol' pal Wanye could have destroyed the baby that eventually crawled his way to victory.
You may be asking yourself "why on Earth is Wanye telling me about all of this garbage?" For a simple reason Nation. The Oil Kings charged people like $3.46 per ticket and they tried their damndest to put on a good show. Skating, shooting, scoring, cheering, dancing, and racing babies. What a night. The Oil are going to be charging hundreds of dollars more tonight and we bet that a lack of racing babies won't be the only thing different between the two games.
What else should we talk about? Hemsky being half dead? The fact that the best player on the team was destroyed by a clown from Nashville and he wasn't beat within an inch of his life? The fact that little T up there would be viewed as more of a threat than the pop gun offense that the Oil are throwing over the boards these days? The fact that the Oil could potentially win tonight but even that won't give us enough confidence to scream fearless playoff predictions at the bar later?
The fact that we will still be standing and cheering against all hope because we have rocks in our head?
Want to waste your time with any of that?
Two teams.
One owner.
One is still trying to entertain the troops during a ball freezing January. The other?
Not so much.
January 03 2009, 06:25PM
For those who haven't gone to an Oil king game it's true. Oil Kings put on a great show and parking is included in your ticket. You can park 50 feet from the door and there are hot chicks throwing out t-shirts etc. Oiler games have Mark Shultz...nuf said! PLEASE Oilers entertain us tonite so we can slip on the ice on our way to climb back on the bandwagon.

With his low centre of gravity he is a career 60% on the dot. His shot blocking abilities are second to none as he appears to have 2:1 height to width ratio.
I'm not looking forward to watching this game. Hopefully Modano comes down with a bad case of food poisoning.
Eberle just SCORED
great blog wayne
I have really enjoyed every oil kings game I have been too. tickets are reasonably priced and you get something for free almost every game just for showing up to watch them. water bottles, mini sticks, mullet wigs ( yes there was mullet night earlier in the season) chuck a puck, where hundreds of orange foam pucks rain down on center ice for a chance at $250 bucks is always a fan fav.
@ tired of boring hockey: Having Ice girls would offend the family values of Rexall Sports - I mean Patrick LaForge - go to Anaheim, Dallas any American rink and the Bud Light girls are part of the action - and at Rexall you get farm boys in blue pants - if Modano has a pre game meal at Rexall courtesy of Northlands - then food poisoning is 50 - 50.
Here is a you tube posting or little T
Oilers please call Independent Artists (780.433.2500) for Ice Girls when they are not working at Eden, Diamonds or Showgirls..... or get the girl that went European in PreSaason Northlands banned for 6 months for showing her mammaries - her suspension is almost up to lead the team - entertain you Wanye??? - what do you think this a DEMOCRACY - pay your ticket - shut up and sit in the corner - no fun zone - the next time you get drunk in Rexall - ask for a cop to assist you to the beer stand for more light beer.
Hopefully the game @ 8 is half the game this Can/Russia game is.
Going to games stinks, people get mad at you if make noise, cheer etc. My section is all people that have hade tickets since Christ was a Cowboy - they just sit on their hands. The people who take tickets from other ticket holders make J-A's of themselves, but for the most part going to a game is BORING.

The worst part is the Oilers are boring to watch. Nothing inspires reading and self-improvement quite like an Oiler regular season, the last 40 of last year being the exception.
January 03 2009, 08:02PM
I wonder if anyone is watching CBC right now. JSBM sure as hell aren't.
they have the game on at rexall right now. I think everyone is hoping that the lights won't turn on again so they can all watch the juniors!
@ hockeysmack:
They are boring, at least if there was other entertainmnet at the games it wouldn't feel like a prison cell rape after leaving Rexall.
Get that trade happening now, we have another smallish forward who should be on this team next year in Eberle.

text: March Brown You will normally see the March Brown mayfly on the streams in the Southern Appalachians and Great Smoky Mountains National Park in March through April. This is one of our early Spring mayfly hatches. Because most hatches are water temperature dependent, you never know exactly when the March Brown will appear. This mayfly will be seen later in the year further north or in the higher elevations where the water warms up to their activity temperature later than we see in East Tennessee in the valleys or lower elevations.Trout can become selective during active hatches of March Browns. March Browns are a larger mayfly and the most common sizes are #12 or #14. During a large March Brown hatch it is often a good idea to fish this fly as your dry and drop a Hares Ear nymph or light tan wet fly off the dry. One common method of doing this is to tie a short (16) piece of tippet to the hook bend, then tie the Hares ear nymph or wet fly or other to the tailing end of the tippet.Anglers often see the March Brown hatches after the Quill Gordon and Blue Quills begin their mating season but also during both of those hatches. This pattern is important to have when fishing in freestone trout streams during the early Spring.FREE GROUND SHIPPING IN THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATESLittle River Outfitters is a fly shop and mail order company located in Townsend, Tennessee, a gateway to Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

The 100% For Kids Credit Union Education Foundation is awarding $1,495 to Canyon View Junior High in Emery School District to aid in the purchase of needed classroom equipment.
Canyon View teacher, Andrew Pollaehne, plans to purchase science equipment with the awarded grant, to be used by all teachers in the science department.
"Science is moving toward project-based inquiry labs, as opposed to the type of labs that resemble a recipe from a cook book," said Pollaehne. "To facilitate this, our school needs to shift from computer-based labs to a more flexible data collection system."
Pollaehne looks forward to demonstrating for students how science and technology can work hand in hand.
The 100% For Kids Credit Union Education Foundation was founded by Utah's Credit Unions in 2002, to provide much-needed funds to Utah classrooms. Funds are contributed by credit unions, credit union members and anyone committed to improving education in Utah.
Since its inception, the foundation has awarded more than $5 million to schools in each of Utah's 41 school districts. This quarter, 100% For Kids Credit Union Education Foundation will award more than $21,000 to Utah schools.
One-hundred percent of donations made to the 100% for Kids Credit Union Education Foundation reach Utah classrooms- not one cent is spent on administrative costs.
To make a donation or to apply for a grant, please contact: Foundation Director Liz White, 1805 S. Redwood Rd., Salt Lake City, UT 84104, (801) 887-2323 or visit: www.100percentforkids.org.

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
HOOVER, Ala. – As Trey Porter exchanged postgame high fives with his teammates, the senior said to no one in particular, "Might as well win the whole thing."
No. 16 Mississippi State moved one step closer to winning the whole thing, beating No. 17 South Carolina 5-3 on Wednesday night in the second round of the SEC Tournament at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium.
The Bulldogs (42-16), seeded fifth in this tourney, will play No. 9 seed Texas A&M (32-25) in Thursday's late game. The winner gets Friday off and advances to Saturday's semifinals.
So MSU is in good position to repeat as SEC Tournament champion, and the phrase Porter uttered alludes to that run.
"He's repeating that from last year," outfielder Demarcus Henderson said. "Last year we started out 2-0, and then everybody said, 'We might as well win the whole thing.' So I guess that's our phrase again this year: 'Might as well win it again.'"
Playing in their 100th SEC Tournament game, the Bulldogs scored twice in the ninth inning to beat South Carolina (39-17) for the third time in four tries this year. They won two of three in Starkville last weekend.
Wes Rea's RBI single to right field in the ninth gave State a 4-3 lead in a game that had been tied since the fourth. Then, after a failed squeeze bunt play, Henderson singled home a run.
Henderson was two hits and three RBIs.
Freshman reliever Myles Gentry (4-0) turned in a stellar effort, matching a career high with eight strikeouts in 5 2/3 scoreless innings of work.
"I was just changing speeds on my fastball, and then the breaking ball came along tonight towards the end," Gentry said. "Everything was working, really."
Reliever Adam Westmoreland (7-2) took the loss.
MSU's win came on the heels of a 17-inning game against Missouri the night before, but there seemed to be no ill effects aside from a slight muscle pull that kept center fielder C.T. Bradford out of the lineup.
Rea said while the Bulldogs didn't necessarily feel refreshed for the South Carolina game, they were physically prepared due to offseason workouts. Henderson said the same.
"I believe we work harder than anybody in the SEC when it comes to weights, and we get pushed to the limit until there's no coming back," Henderson said.
MSU had 12 hits, marking the eighth consecutive game it reached double digits in hits. Rea had three hits and two RBIs, while Adam Frazier and Brett Pirtle had two hits apiece.
South Carolina starter Nolan Belcher, who six days earlier had allowed just one run in 6 1/3 innings against MSU, was touched for two runs on four hits in the first inning Wednesday. Rea and Henderson had RBI singles, although State left the bases loaded.
Pirtle doubled to lead off the third, reaching base safely for the 31st consecutive game. After taking third on Rea's sac bunt, Pirtle scored on Henderson's first sac fly of the season for a 3-0 lead.
MSU could have added more in the fourth, but Pirtle's bases-loaded fly ball to left field was ruled a catch, even though replay showed that Graham Saiko trapped the ball. South Carolina then scored three times in the bottom of that inning, chasing MSU starter Luis Pollorena.
The senior left-hander allowed those three runs on four hits, striking out two and walking three in 3 1/3 innings. Gentry entered and struck out the next two hitters to quell the rally.
Next inning, Gentry again fanned two straight to strand two runners.
With State having used five relievers against Missouri – all of them throwing at least 2 1/3 innings – Gentry's long outing was important. He hadn't pitched much of late – this was his first appearance in 11 days, and just his fourth since early April.
"I wasn't getting frustrated," he said. "I knew my time would come. Just had to take advantage of the opportunities."
Senior right-hander Kendall Graveman (5-5, 2.99 ERA) will start on the mound for MSU today versus Texas A&M. The Bulldogs swept the Aggies in College Station earlier this season, but this is a team that just beat No. 1-ranked Vanderbilt, 5-0, on Wednesday.
A&M homered three times and owns all four home runs hit in Hoover so far this week.

Cute & Different
"This shoe is very different and cute, Tried them on with jean and it gives it some kind of a Retro Look. Which is Nice! I loved them! The laces is what I liked the most. the different color of laces added to it. I got the brown color with Red Laces. Loved it. I'm size 5.5 or 6.0. I first got the size 6 but thought it was a big wide, it does run a little on the wide size, thought i return and exchange a size 5.5 same style, and fits great, so get you smallest size that you are if you wear two sizes on shoes. :) this is just a CUTE SHOE. .."

Great Cute Bootie
"I was in the market for a cute bootie that I could wear casually with jeans. I saw these and wasn't sure about them but had a gift card, so I figured why not. When they arrived to me I was very excited and very impressed (I found them to be more attractive in person). The booties fit true to size but I wish I would have went up a half size so I could wear them with a thicker socks (they don't keep my feet very warm). Overall I was very happy with my purchase and would recommend them to anyone in the market for a cute pair of booties."

When writing about the course of his remarkable 50-year career, George Nelson described a series of creative "zaps"--moments of out-of-the-blue inspiration "when the solitary individual finds he is connected with a reality he never dreamed of." It was these zaps that would lead to the creation of some of the most original furniture designs of the 20th century- including the Coconut Chair, the Marshmallow Sofa, and the Swag Leg Work Table.
An early zap came in the 1930s, when he was an architectural student in Rome. Before returning home, an idea struck him: He would travel Europe and interview leading modern architects, hoping to get the articles published in the U.S. He succeeded, and in the process introduced the U.S. design community to the European avant-garde. This set in motion a sequence of what he called "lucky" career breaks that were really the inevitable outcomes of his brilliance as a designer, teacher, and author.

Several Tupelo school parents and citizens are expressing their frustration with the Tupelo Public School District Administration with yard signs.
A group that met at the Link Center last week passed out the signs. John Sanders, who led the meeting, offered those in attendance a new yard sign that they could post as a sign of their dissatisfaction.
The sign reads:
"For Sale
Ask your School Board and City Leaders"
Sanders said it notes the recent white flight out of Tupelo. He said that the group is supportive of the school district but that it has lost confidence in the administration, which he says has led to the system's decline.

Tyler Miletti qualified for this weekend's WIAA Division 1 State Meet in Wisconsin Rapids with his performance in a sectional meet on Saturday at Washington Park.
Miletti ran fifth with 16 minutes, 55 seconds to advance to the state race at 2:20 p.m. Oct. 27 on the Ridges Golf Course.
Also for Central, Josh Boeder claimed 45th (18:53), Josh Ostrenga 50th (19:13), Ruslan Steinenget 58th (19:36), Collin Borazo 59th (19:39), Fred Birchbauer 64th (20:06) and Damien McFaden 78th (22:24).
The Bulldogs finished ninth as a team with 217 points.
The Huskies downed the Bulldogs, 25-21, 25-15, 25-16, in a Greater Metro Conference dual meet on Oct. 17.
For Hale, Parker Voller collected 18 kills, Savaughn Boston 39 assists and Zach Bohmann 12 digs. The Bulldogs were led by Josh Kopplin with 11 kills, Mike Brown 15 assists, Ryan Wisch eight blocks and Dominic Craig seven digs.
The Huskies finished 1-4 in GMC duals, while the Bulldogs were 0-5.
Both teams open WIAA tournament play at 7 p.m. Oct. 26. Central is at Wauwatosa West and Hale at Brookfield East.
After a slow start, the Huskies rallied to top Racine Case, 19-25, 28-26, 25-18, 25-12, in a WIAA Division 1 regional match on Oct. 18.
'Racine Case started the match with a lot of energy and excitement,' head coach Leng Sayaovong said. 'It caught us off-guard and the girls were not ready to respond. Towards the end of the second set, we settled down and started to play our game. That momentum carried over to the third and fourth sets, where we just played our style of volleyball.'
Caitlin Kantowski racked up 30 assists, Jaime Supple 15 kills and two aces, Rebecca Kuske three blocks and Natalie Carr 11 digs for Hale.
The momentum did not carry over to Saturday's regional title match, which the Huskies lost to Greendale, 25-17, 25-17, 25-20.
Supple totaled 15 digs and nine kills, Kantowski 16 assists, Carr two aces and Rachel Milani five blocks.
That ended the season for Hale, which loses seniors Kantowski, Milani, Kelsey Urbaniak, Miranda Bailey, Jenna Krueger and Marlee Freitag.
Both the boys and girls teams for the Hustlin' Hawks enjoyed their best finishes in WIAA Division 1 sectional action in years at Saturday's meet at Washington Park.
The boys tallied 157 points for sixth place, which head coach Ernie Rosenthal said was the highest sectional team finish for a Greenfield boys team in over 15 seasons.
Tom Friedbacher led the way with 19th place in 17 minutes, 53 seconds. Andy Sabinash ran 25th and Casey Sabinash 26th (both in 18:13), Cody Hagfors 43rd (18:48), Quinton Kufahl 44th (18:48), Dylan Kumbera 56th (19:29) and Matt Clarey 68th (20:15).
The girls scored 221 points for seventh place, also their best sectional finish in years, Rosenthal said.
Megan Theune-Baillargeon was the top runner, taking 29th (17:14). She was followed by Tia Ruhland in 46th (18:27), Audrey Schmidt 47th (18:37), Janie Friedbacher 48th (18:44), Andrea Organ 51st (19:05) and Kelsey Franckowiak 54th (19:22).
Rosenthal said the teams had a good 2012 season, highlighted by Keely Hanley's school record of 15:33.
The Hawks lose only two seniors, Hagfors and Organ, so they should be strong next season.
Alex Richardson and Alyssa Woo both came close to individually qualifying for this weekend's WIAA Division 1 State Meet.
Richardson placed 12th in 17 minutes, 22 seconds in Saturday's sectional meet at Washington Park, five spots away from the final qualifying spot.
Woo was 15th (16:46), just three spots away from qualifying on the girls side.
The other Whitnall boys were Seth Nowak in 37th (18:34), Matt Paruszynski 51st (19:14), Tyler Nape 52nd (19:16), Austin Hurst 53rd (19:20), Blake Stencil 63rd (19:54) and Bobby Chase 67th (20:14).
The Falcons tallied 205 points for eighth place.
For the girls, who scored 150 points for sixth place, Jasmine Van Tine took 26th (17:12), Jennifer Bahling 35th (17:32), Kim Hurst 36th (17:37), Lauren Lent 38th (17:45), Kina Cross 41st (17:59) and Mika Topitzes 56th (19:35).
The Falcons downed Kenosha Indian Trail, 25-19, 25-17, 25-20, in a WIAA Division 2 regional meet on Oct. 16 at home.
They then fell to Woodland Conference rival New Berlin West, 25-17, 25-14, 25-17, in a regional semifinal on Oct. 18 to end their season.
The only seniors are Ashley Markowiak and Emily Kuether.
The season ended for the Bulldogs with a 25-20, 25-19, 19-25, 25-13 loss to Oak Creek in a WIAA Division 1 regional on Oct. 18.
Melissa Smith led Central in assists with 23 and totaled 13 digs, while Amber Wegner paced the team in digs with 15. Angela Reyes tallied four blocks, with Ann Marie Kaczmarowski and Emma Somppi adding three apiece. Kaczmarowski also led the team in kills with six, hitting at a .400 percentage, while Mary Martens and Rachel Sura added five each.
Head coach Bob Staskunas said Emily Villafuentes played well in the back row with solid serving, passing and defense.
'It was a tough year in the Greater Metro (Conference) with an 0-7 mark,' he said, 'but we finished higher (seventh) in the GMC tournament and outside of the conference, we played very competitive volleyball.'
Seniors are Smith, Villafuentes, Jourdan Davis and Nikki Waite.
The Bulldogs tallied 242 points for eighth place in a WIAA Division 1 sectional meet on Saturday at Washington Park.
Katie Wardinski placed 20th in 16 minutes, 59 seconds, while Alex Jonas ran 34th (17:26).
'Both Alex and Katie have battled and contributed to top finishes this season,' head coach Mark Klobukowski said. 'They both know that hard work and strong dedication to the program will have huge benefits coming into track season and next year's cross country.'
Supawadee Pamoto was 61st (20:51), followed by Amanda Cieslinski 63rd (21:07), Hannah Pfister 64th (21:56) and Kayla Ruarke 65th (22:55).
The Falcons lost a Woodland Conference dual to powerful Shorewood, 108-74, on Oct. 17.
They will compete in the Woodland Meet at 6 p.m. Oct. 25 at Wauwatosa West.
The Raptors finished seventh in the Woodland Conference Tournament on Oct. 17.
They will open WIAA tournament action at 7 p.m. Oct. 26 at Pius XI.

Old Sydney
Long's group of paintings of the Rocks area of Sydney are oddities in his oeuvre. He painted them as part of a push to commemorate this historic area, which was due for demolition following an outbreak of bubonic plague in 1901.
Long, along with other artists involved in this exercise, showed his work in the Exhibition of pictures of old Sydney held in March 1902.
In these paintings Long not only turned to a very different theme, but also adopted a more representational approach. He maintained an interest in decorative design by focusing on the strong forms and patterns of the buildings and streets.
In Ferry Lane and Argyle Street and Cut he used a light palette with low contrasting colours that assist in conveying the stifling heat in the unsanitary streets.

Skip to comments.Toronto Catholic Magazine Faced with Human Rights Complaint by Homosexual
Posted on 12/20/2007 4:12:32 PM PST by wagglebee
TORONTO, December 20, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Another Canadian publication has come under attack for its opinions through the agency of the government-funded Canadian Human Rights Commissions (HRC). Closely following an uproar in the media against government-sponsored censorship via HRC against Maclean's magazine and columnist Mark Steyn and an Alberta HRC judgment ordering Alberta news media to not publish any comments on homosexuality by a Christian pastor, Toronto's Catholic Insight magazine has reported they stand accused in an HRC complaint of "targeting homosexuals".
Catholic Insight is a Catholic political and cultural general interest magazine that regularly and accurately expounds orthodox Catholic teaching, based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church, on homosexuality as well as harmful consequences to individual persons and society of the active homosexual "lifestyle".
The magazine now reveals that Rob Wells, a homosexual activist associated with the Pride Centre of Edmonton, in February this year filed a nine-point complaint against Catholic Insight. Wells alleges that the magazine made "negative generalizations" about homosexuals; portrayed them as preying upon children, as dangerous and "devoid of any redeeming qualities and...innately evil".
Catholic Insight (CI), however, bases its editorial policy very strictly on Catholic Church teaching which is at pains to separate what it says is the deviant behaviour and disordered inclination of homosexuality from the person.
Wells' complaint cites articles from Catholic Insight dating back to 1994 but Catholic Insight counters that the citations are "without context" and do not give an accurate picture of what the magazine has actually published. "In fact," the magazine said in an editorial, "most of them are even out of context from the sentences from which they were taken."
The magazine considers the complaints unfounded and "made with the intent to harass" and will "defend itself vigorously should the CHRC proceed". CI continues to emphasize with the Catholic Church, however, that "homosexual acts are ones of grave depravity and intrinsically disordered. They are contrary to the natural law, close the sexual act to the gift of life, do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity and cannot be approved under any circumstances."
The Human Rights Commissions have become a powerful tool available to homosexual activists to silence critics of their lifestyle and opponents of their political agenda. With a complainant's expenses fully paid by tax payers and no requirement to follow normal judicial rules for evidence or due process, there is little to lose and in nearly every case, the HRC Tribunals have found in favour of the complaints when it has been homosexuals against Christianity.
In only one case amongst many, in November this year the Alberta HRC ruled against a Christian pastor, Stephen Boissoin, executive director of the Concerned Christian Coalition, who had published an article in the Red Deer Advocate in 2002 saying that the homosexual political movement's goals were "wicked" and harmful to young people. Boissoin wrote as a Christian minister against a political movement that he feared was corrupting young people and Canadian society, not against particular persons.
The Human Rights Commission compliant, made by Dr. Darren E. Lund a long time homosexual political activist, claimed, however, that the article had incited "hatred against homosexuals" as individuals. He told the Commission panel that he was "fearful that the writings of Mr. Boissoin are likely to expose people to hatred and contempt as well as the potential for physical danger" and "foster an atmosphere of violence and intimidation for people, based on their sexual orientation". He said he viewed Boissoin's letter as a "call to arms letter."
The Alberta Human Rights Tribunal ruled in favour of Lund who demanded that Boissoin "apologize for submitting the article and for his views on homosexuality." If he did not, the Commission panel has the power to "provide an Order disallowing the publication of Mr. Boissoin's views on homosexuality in any of the major print media in Alberta,"
The ruling listed the media outlets subject to its order as the Red Deer Advocate, Red Deer Express, Calgary Herald, Calgary Sun, Edmonton Journal, Edmonton Sun and Lethbridge Herald.

One can only hope and pray.
Ironic isn't it?...a Human Rights Commission discriminating against a religion for expounding it's teachings...Someone should tell them that religious people have rights too and vastly outnumber the smaller group the HRC is defending..so whose rights are being trampled on here ?....it is reverse discrimination—try and defend that if they can get beyond their babbling excuses...
Are you kidding!
There is no 'media outrage' in Canada
in fact
the case barely has been mentioned
not even by some 'conservative' blogs.
HRCs are here to stay and Canadians
(those few who know about the case)
don't give a damn.
One can only hope and pray.
Better to pray for Hell to freeze over.
You'll likely to find more luck in that enterprise.
Yep. Actual studies indicate that homosexuals only make up about 2 to 3 percent of the population, even with the decades-long assault on Christianity, I would think that they still make up well over half of the population of Canada and at least a significant portion of that is devout. So, what we have is a huge segment of the population being forced to disavow six thousand years of religious beliefs just to placate a few people who suffer from what until very recently was correctly termed a mental illness.
'The case' I was referring to
was the 'Mark Steyn' case
but what I said applies even more
to all the other HR cases.
Canadians are apathetic about 'free speech'.
I'd go further than this
to say
they'd rather not have it.
I'm not sure what your idiosyncratic tagline smiley means, but let me suggest "smug and morally superior delusional Canucklehead whose personna is somewhat exacerbated by a bad beard".
Some outrage is better than none.
The Mark Steyn case may be gaining some momentum. You can check out some other links here, here, here and here.
I wouldn't be so willing to give up on Canada. There's too much at stake.
I'll continue to hope and pray for Canada.
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic Ping List:
Please ping me to all note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of interest.
When will people wake up that the left is killing free speech and Western Civilization?
I doubt most homosexuals are really that political. They are just being used as a mascot for the people who are in charge, or aspire to be in charge. They want to discredit and silence their opponents by any means possible, and homosexuality is just the most convenient weapon right now since it ties in with the sexual revolution.
This type of thinking already is prevalent at many universities.
Slouching towards Gomorrah.
i.e. "realist"
wow...That is an excellent observation...Never thought of it that way—that they are "being used as a mascot for the people who are in charge."
It would be more accurate to say that Canada has officially outlawed free speech, secular or religious. Mark Steyn is in trouble because Maclean's Magazine published an excerpt from his book America Alone. Here is an excerpt from the Hugh Hewitt Show today, in which Steyn explains how this Commission works:
MS: Well, the Human Rights Commission up there is, you know, almost the textbook definition of a kangaroo court, in the sense that of the complaints that have been brought under this section, since it was introduced almost thirty years ago now, no defendant has ever won.
HH: Oh.
MS: So I may buck the odds, but I wouldnt bet on it.
HH: Well, tell people what the process is, what youre accused of, and I assume this is a pain in the neck.
MS: Well, it is a pain in the neck. It also has, you know, serious implications, I think, because the Muslim lobby groups have had quite good luck using courts outside the U.S. to block particular books and other ideas that theyre not partial to. And eventually, that does ripple through to New York publishers and so on who dont want to take a flyer on a book if you wont be able to sell it in Canada, or get an overseas sale. So it does have implications. But what this is, basically, is a special commission thats set up, its like, think of the most politically correct professors at Berkeley, put them on a commission. The plaintiff, the guys who make the complaints, their legal expenses are paid for by the Canadian taxpayer. The defense has to fund his or her own essentially, theres no rules of due process or evidence. And you know, they levy things that would be extraordinary. A woman posted some content on a Christian website in the United States, shes opposed to homosexuality, she quotes some relevant Biblical passages. The Human Rights Commission banned her from ever publishing in any public forum again those Biblical passages for life, even though they were published on a U.S. website. And if she breaches that order, shell go to jail.
So, we can thank our Founders for providing us with a constitutional right to free speech.
People become frightened when there's a possibility of losing their job. I've seen otherwise strong and opinionated people melt during "diversity training" and repeat things they knew to be untrue. Political Correctness is a form of totalitarianism. It's a form of bullying, and just like the bullies we remember from childhood, it will only back down if you stand up to it.
It often needs only the power of words to frighten people into subservience (homophobia, racism, sexism, bigotry....). If you've ever noticed, even on anonymous internet forums the forces of PC get enormous mileage from these words. But if you stand your ground and don't back down, the PC bullies will become confused and disoriented. Because without the mythical power those words wield, there is no intellectual basis for Political Correctness. On this issue, for example, there is no logical argument for homosexuality. There is no positive case to be made for it.
The problem is so dire now because we've let it grow so large. Instead of stopping this nonsense in its formative years, too many conservatives tried to be "nice" and appeased the bullies. Now the bullies are moving into position to actually get people fired, fined, or jailed for dissent.
Can one unring a bell?
I fear the slippery slope—once "commissions" such as these are established, are they ever abandoned?
I hope and pray our country never comes to this...but I am not optimistic, even with our great Constitution!
Socialism has always been hostile to Christianity and ultimately this is what is driving the issue. The socialist abhores the idea that government is subsidary to insrtitutions like Church and family. The socialists wish to reduce all individuals to the status of wards of the state, the state, of course, being THEM.
IMO we started down this kangaroo court and legislation banning un PC speech slippery slope, when folks gave homosexuals the benefit of the doubt and allowed them to be elected into office. Now there are so many in the US, right down to the town level, they are dictating policy.
They are even now in the "big tent", bringing that party left. It is a frightening time, prayers have never been more needed at any point in history. And yet still, people will continue to promote liberals for office. America need a good swift kick you know where, and a serious wake up call! As does Canada.
The more gays among a party's movers and shakers, the fewer future competitors for a politically active family. When a gay leader dies, someone else's Junior can fill his place. Most of this is probably not a conscious design, but the end result of politicized gays will be fewer, more powerful "breeders" whose family ties are more effective than fleeting homosexual relationships.
Sorry. That's when the guns come out.
And, no, even though the Internet issues everyone a pair of testicles when they log on, I have two of my own thank you.
>>Just one Democrat President away.<<
Given the lack of fortitude among our contemporary RINO's, I wouldn't limit your statement to just the D aisle. There are plenty of R's who would love to do the same.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again - both sides of the aisle want the same thing - power and control. The only difference is whether we drive over the cliff at 60mph or 90mph...
"negative generalizations" about homosexuals; portrayed them as preying upon children, as dangerous and "devoid of any redeeming qualities and...innately evil".
Hell, I agree 100% with the above statement.
"Once commissions such as these are established, are they ever abandoned?"
Yup. I can think of several instances where such commissions were established and then abandoned. Generally they were abandoned because of pressure put on the commissioners through force of arms — a rifle or cold steel can be a effective persuader.
On the other hand, I can think of very few instance where similar commissions were abandoned because those on them simply got bored with their power, and decided to go home.
To quote Thomas Jefferson, "The Tree of Libery must be fed the blood of tyrants and patriots. That is its natural manure."
These Human Wrongs Commissions are extremist bunches that need to be abolished immediately. The only reason they exist is to make evil laws that would never have a prayer of making it through Parliament.

The main body of this scarf is made from a highly-prized naturally-colored alpaca. This silver/grey color is called "rex", and is unusual in alpacas. Alpaca fiber is softer, warmer, and lighter than even the finest wool, and it doesn't itch the way some wool can. Many people who are allergic to wool can still wear alpaca. Each end of this scarf is woven from handspun 100% merino wool. These ends are ever-so-slightly heavier than the body of the scarf, to create the perfect drape and keep the ends from unwrapping themselves as you move. Both the alpaca and the merino were handspun by myself. The alpaca came from a local hobby farmer in the Pacific Northwest, was cleaned and carded by a local, family-owned processor just down the road, and was spun on my little spinning wheel. The merino was handspun with a drop spindle over the course of a couple summers of hiking and camping.
At 6.5 feet long and 10 inches wide, there is plenty of material to be worn in a variety of ways. Wrap it once and let the ends hang long, wrap it twice for extra warmth, or it's even wide enough to be worn more like a stole across your shoulders and a beautiful shawl pin used to hold it in place.

The only weakness of One Piece is that it doesn't have an exciting beginning unlike Naruto. However unlike Naruto, the series improves drastically as the story proceeds, while Naruto is slowly but surely degrading. Due to the unexciting beginning, many people are unwilling to keep on reading/watching One Piece and thereby resulting in a smaller fan base compare to Naruto or Bleach. Yet if all those Naruto tards out there actually sit down and spend couple hours on One Piece, they will love it.
Perhaps that's also why One Piece is starting to get a bit more popular now days in North America. After all, I am in no position whatsoever as to lecturing about how slow people are. It took me 2 years to realize that One Piece is the greatest series in existence >.<.(Started two years ago, dropped it, started again almost two years later, loved it.)

By ALFRED BROCKCanton, MI
Dear Editor,
I read with disgust that the Pentagon plans to promote Army Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, former head of military operations in Iraq.
Among his duties in Iraq, Sanchez oversaw all detention facilities, including Abu Ghraib prison. During his command American soldiers were put at risk at the arbitrary commands of the Secretary of Defense.
"Sanchez was born in the equivalent of a log cabin � no running water, a self-made man," said Charles Krohn, who retired last year as an aide to former Army Secretary Thomas E. White. "Anything perceived as an Anglo plot to hold Sanchez responsible for the sins of others would be looked upon with great disfavor."
Former Defense Secretary James R. Schlesinger found that Sanchez was "responsible" for creating an environment that contributed to the abuse of prisoners at Abu Ghraib, but not directly "culpable." That's enough for me. A bank clerk responsible for a bank robbery though not culpable would be fired.
A sheriff's deputy that was responsible for a rape while he was on duty but was not culpable would lose his badge.
Oct., 15, 2004, a 17-member Army Reserve platoon with troops from Jackson, Miss., and around the Southeast deployed to Iraq is under arrest for refusing a suicide mission to deliver fuel.
The soldiers refused an order on Wednesday to go to Taji, Iraq north of Baghdad because their vehicles were considered deadlined or extremely unsafe.
In my opinion they are the real heroes of Iraq. The real leaders of the Army.

A great gold swing takes years of practice. Do you hook, draw, or simply shank the ball? Learn some great tips to prevent faults and improve your swing.
Golf Lessons: Hands Adrian MI
If you have tension in your hands and arms, you'll end up dragging the clubhead through the hitting zone. Adopting a tension-free hold is the way to grip every club in your bag.
Golf Lessons: Knees Adrian MI
Everyone knows that the golf swing is both an around and up-and-down motion. Where the around part is considered, your right knee (left for left-handers) plays a critical role in that it serves as the hub around which your body turns both back and through.
Golf Lessons: Swing Finish Adrian MI
Basically, there are only two positions in the golf swing: the address and the finish. Everything else is a motion and, as such, difficult to analyze. But the finish is static and allows for serious self-analysis. If you know what to look for, then how you end your swing can give you some good ideas of what's going on in your motion.
Golf Lessons: Tee Shots Adrian MI
One of the best ways to become a straight hitter is to learn how the club should swing through the ball and not at the ball in a smooth, centered motion. To do that, the body ought to rotate all the way through the shot, and the arms should extend into the finish.
