Now that the dust has settled, Planet Rugby thought it was only right to hand out some praise to the Super Rugby stars of Round 7.
Now that the dust has settled over in the southern hemisphere, Planet Rugby thought it was only right to hand out some praise to the stars of Super Rugby, Round 7.
Without further ado, here comes our offering – be sure to send in your own 15-1 team selections
15 Israel Folau (Waratahs): For the second week running, the Rugby League convert produced a solid all-round performance against the Western Force on Sunday – highlighted by several genuine linebreaks (making 104m in the process) and assurance under the high ball.
14 Alapati Leiua (Hurricanes): The Hurricanes looked rather sluggish against the Kings, but not this guy. Leiua was as energetic as ever, pouncing on anything loose and scoring an opportunistic try that took the wind from the Kings' sails.
13 Richard Kahui (Chiefs): An impressive return to the Chiefs starting line-up for the All Blacks utility back. Kahui looked dangerous with the pill in hand, breaking numerous tackles as he surged for the line and kept the door shut on the Blues attack. He scored a vital try too.
12 Christian Lealiifano (Brumbies): Really proved his mettle in pressure situations having missed just once from his six attempts at goal, with the last of them winning the game for the Brumbies in extra time. A mention too for Waratahs centre Rob Horne, who made a whopping 18 tackles against the Force in Sydney.
11 Hosea Gear (Highlanders): Once again, Gear was the top performer in a losing cause for the winless Highlanders. Unlike his franchise, the All Blacks winger has certainly done his reputation little harm after once again creating lots of problems for the opposition with ball in hand. And yes, he scored again.
10 Tyler Bleyendaal (Crusaders): Crusaders coach Todd Blackadder commented in the week building up to this game to "keep an eye on this bloke." Oh how the Stormers wish they had listened. Dan Carter's stand-in led his team around the paddock superbly, showing deft touches in his tactical play and in the end was responsible for 14 of his side's 19 points in an accomplished man-of-the-match performance.
9 Will Genia (Reds): Helped steer the Reds to an historic win over the Highlanders in Dunedin. It was also the first time the Queenslanders managed to bank a four-try bonus point, which just goes to show that the 2011 champions function better with Genia around. This little genius is the rudder around which the Reds revolve.
8 Jake Schatz (Reds): Tough choice, but in the end we went with the Reds number eight who made quite a nuisance of himself against the Highlanders at the base of the scrum and in loose play. If there was a ruck to be cleaned out, Schatz was there. His defensive work and pilfering abilities also proved vital for the Reds, while he also added his name to the scoresheet in the first half.
7 Matt Todd (Crusaders): A tireless effort from the Crusaders' loosie. Todd made the most metres with ball in hand, put in the second highest tackles on defence and scored a try for his efforts. He just seems to get better and better with every game played – expect to see him in a black jersey soon.
6 Brad Shields (Hurricanes): Made a telling impact on attack for the 'Canes, and proved just why he's been earmarked for a big future in New Zealand. The barnstorming blindside flanker's try with 15 minutes to play sealed the deal for his team and ended the Kings' gallant challenge.
5 Samuel Whitelock (Crusaders): Conquered the Stormers' own Mount Everest aka Andries Bekker by pinching four line-out balls for the Crusaders. Like a fine red wine, Whitelock just keeps getting better with age – and he's only 24!
4 Steven Sykes (Kings): Worked hard under the radar at the 'Cake Tin'. The former Sharks and Leinster second-rower was a vital cog in the Kings engine room in the New Zealand capital, and his try early in the first half was an early warning sign to the 'Canes that the Kings weren't there to simply make up the numbers.
3 Ben Tameifuna (Chiefs): Granted he only played half the match, but his powerful impact off the bench saw Tameifuna score a crucial try whilst he also got stuck in on defence – making 10 tackles. Not bad for a replacement front-rower.
2 Adriaan Strauss (Cheetahs): Ticked all the right boxes in attack, defence and his line-out throwing. Simply inspirational in leading the Cheetahs to a record fourth consecutive win in Super Rugby.
1 Wyatt Crockett (Crusaders): Showed his versatility and value in the front row after switching to tighthead after Owen Franks left the field with a rib injury in the 10th minute. The All Black made sure the Crusaders scrum didn't take a step backwards though and remained solid against a physical Stormers pack.

When I was a teenager, and the lone vegetarian in my house, I relied heavily on microwavable meat substitutes. I ate many, many Tofu Pups. I was first on my own without a dining hall during my junior year abroad in London. In my dorm's mouse-ridden communal kitchen, I had a designated cupboard and a shelf in the mini-fridge. I bought one pot, one bowl, one plate, one mug, and one set of silverware.
I had a tight budget, and I didn't know how to organize my trips to the expensive and poorly-stocked grocery store, or how to turn a bag of groceries into a week of healthy meals. For a while I survived on breakfast cereal, Heinz beans, and McVitie's dark chocolate digestive biscuits. When my then-boyfriend-now-husband got a plug-in tea kettle, my diet expanded to include instant mashed potatoes and nightcaps of (wretch!) instant coffee and Bailey's.
I reached a point when I couldn't stand to eat any more soft, bland food, and asked my mother to send me some recipes. My first real grown-up dinner was a zucchini lasagna. Hot, homemade food was such a big deal that we went around the building knocking on doors, inviting people to come eat it, and then took pictures of the feast. Look at me—I'm so proud of myself for slicing those zucchini:
It isn't fancy, but chili never lets me down. It's healthy, delicious, and practically idiot-proof.
Variations: try tossing in a cup of frozen corn kernels, or a few chopped jalapeño or chipotle peppers.
Serves 4.

Vegetarian or not, everyone seems to be shoving kale down our throats these days–literally. Whatever your diet involves, no nutritionist will deny that greens are something you shouldn't skip, and it just so happens that leafy, dense kale has become the poster child for getting people to pack in their fiber and vitamins. But tragically, many a bunch of kale goes from farmer's market to trash because people just don't know what to do with it: It has a strong flavor and chewy texture, making it more difficult to incorporate into recipes than spinach or lettuce. But never fear: We have some solutions…10 of them, in fact.
Check out these ten creative, tasty ways to eat more kale:

By JASON BAILEYSun Advocate/Emery County Progress
By this time, most people are aware that the federal government has mandated the death of analog television signals by 2009. But most residents don't realize why the push is being made, nor do they realize that cell phones are also a part of this picture.
Everyone has heard from the various newspaper, radio and television commercials that enhanced quality is a major part of the push to digital television. That's true. But there's more to it than that.
The fact is, the air-waves are so full and busy, there isn't much room for much more.
In reality, the wireless communications spectrum that we collectively label as "air-waves" is divided into separate pieces - each of which are allocated to a certain technology.
For example, a specific range of this spectrum is set aside and dedicated to television broadcasting. Another range is dedicated to FM radio. And still, and other range is dedicated to wireless networking like IEEE 802.11g ("wireless g").
The problem is, the range dedicated for television isn't all that roomy anymore. There isn't as much "broadcast space" as there used to be.
The reason the Federal Communications Commission is in favor of digital television is that the television industry can provide far more stations within that same broadcast range than they could with analog signals.
An answer as to why this happens entails a long winded answer, but it basically boils down to how the digital information is encoded.
Digital broadcasts utilize less "space" in the television broadcast range than analog television broadcasts do, which means public television towers can offer its viewers more television channels than they could before.
But the switch to digital doesn't stop with television.
There is also a push to retire analog cell phones as well. This may not seem like a problem up front, as virtually every cell phone on the market is already operating on a digital frequency.
But the problem is, many cell phones fall back to analog frequency ranges when they are out of digital range from cellular service areas.
This is because analog signals carry farther than digital signals do. Digital signals have a tendency to degrade over long distances (generally more than 8-10 miles).
While a ban on analog cell phone frequencies would help the digital cellular market grow, it would have a negative impact on people in rural areas who use their cell phones in highly remote places, like some desert regions or mountainous areas.

The University of Texas, Austin provides a clear definition and discussion of copyright, including rules of thumb, and the four factor test. However, be aware of their disclaimer: "This information must not be relied on as a substitute for obtaining legal advice from a licensed attorney."
The Association of Research Libraries provides a handy one-page chart on what instructors can and cannot copy for class purposes. It, too, comes with a disclaimer!

Library Instruction Sessions
Have a librarian come into your class! Class presentations can be as long or as brief as needed, and give students a valuable starting point on research assignments while helping them realize they have allies in the library to turn to when questions arise. Classes must be scheduled AT LEAST one week in advance.
What can a Library Instruction Session do for my class?
- Give a quick introduction of the reference librarian and the library (5 minutes), so that students have a face and a name they recognize when the need for research assistance strikes.
- A presentation that briefly covers subject-specific library and online resources relating to an assignment. (15-20 minutes) Citation styles can also be covered on request!
- A longer class session with increased opportunities for students to immediately "try out" the concepts covered. In a computer lab, this could be independent research time with the librarian on hand to answer questions or, in a regular classroom, group activities without access to computers.
- Class tours of the library (30 minutes)

By KEITH SMITH
We depend upon foreign oil by choice. For decades our energy policy under the Dems or the Repubs has been the same: first bleed the other countries dry then tap our own resources.
We have even defended this strategy with the lives of our soldiers. All the posturing, the finger-pointing, and the pep talks are a lot of political nonsense. Of course we have enough reserves and much more in untapped reservoirs.
But if we deplete it 'now' we will have to depend on 'others' later- not by choice then, but really depend on them. Or should we continue to hoard our own and let the world depend on us some day?
I do not believe that one drop of foreign oil is worth the life of one American soldier- but those in power feel otherwise. What about you? Is it time to start using our own reserves? Or should we continue to use up our neighbor's first?

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Officials with a piracy watchdog say a French-owned oil tanker that's gone missing off Ivory Coast likely has been hijacked by pirates who have kidnapped the 17 sailors on board.
Noel Choong of the International Maritime Bureau said Monday that the attack likely happened Sunday. He said the ship was flagged in Luxembourg, but declined to give any other details.
Meanwhile, Choong said a sailor had been shot in an attempted hijacking off the coast of Nigeria's largest city, Lagos, on Monday. He said pirates also attacked another tanker last week off Nigeria's southern delta and fired a rocket-propelled grenade at it.
Hijackings of oil tankers have increased drastically in recent months in the Gulf of Guinea. The hijackers target the oil on board, worth millions of dollars.

Great Sneaker, Great Style!
"I love this wedge sneaker. I had been looking for an affordable pair for a while and came across these online. The shoes are very comfortable and the wedge gives it a nice unique change from the typical high top sneaker. I am usually a strict 8.5, but decided to go with a 9 and I'm glad I did. I have plenty of space, but not so much that it's uncomfortable. The only thing is that the neck is very narrow, so make sure to loosen all of the strings and undo the velcro strap to get these on! Love The Sneaker Though!"

Thyroid hormone should not be used to treat obesity in patients with normal thyroid function. Levothyroxine is ineffective for weight reduction in normal thyroid patients and may cause serious or life-threatening toxicity, especially when taken with amphetamines. Talk to your doctor about the potential risks associated with this medication.
Levothyroxine, a thyroid hormone, is used to treat hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. Without this hormone, the body cannot function properly, resulting in: poor growth; slow speech; lack of energy; weight gain; hair loss; dry, thick skin; and increased sensitivity to cold. When taken correctly, levothyroxine reverses these symptoms. Levothyroxine is also used to treat congenital hypothyroidism (cretinism) and goiter (enlarged thyroid gland).
This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Levothyroxine comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It usually is taken once a day on an empty stomach, one half to one hour before breakfast. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take levothyroxine exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
The tablets may get stuck in your throat or cause choking or gagging; therefore, the tablet should be taken with a full glass of water.
If you are giving levothyroxine to an infant or child who cannot swallow the tablet, crush the tablet and mix it in 1 to 2 teaspoons of plain water. Give this mixture by spoon or dropper right away. Do not store this mixture. Only mix the crushed tablets with water. Do not mix with food or soybean infant formula.
Your doctor will probably start you on a low dose of levothyroxine and gradually increase your dose.
Levothyroxine controls hypothyroidism, but does not cure it. It may take several weeks before you notice a change in your symptoms. Continue to take levothyroxine even if you feel well. Do not stop taking levothyroxine without talking to your doctor.
Before taking levothyroxine,
Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, continue your normal diet.
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Levothyroxine may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
If you experience either of the following symptoms, call your doctor immediately:
If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online [at Web Site] or by phone [1-800-332-1088].
Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Throw away any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medication.
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your doctor will order certain lab tests to check your response to levothyroxine.
Learn the brand name and generic name of your medication. Do not switch brands without talking to your doctor or pharmacist, as each brand of levothyroxine contains a slightly different amount of medication.
Do not let anyone else take your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements. You should bring this list with you each time you visit a doctor or if you are admitted to a hospital. It is also important information to carry with you in case of emergencies.

Time, the Universe and the Whole Darn Thing!
Part One: The Future of the Earth
By Allan EastmanGo back to Page 5
The Long Goodbye
©iStockphoto.com/Igor Tchaikovsky
Will there be Humans around to witness the Sun's ultimate drama?
If you are a Sci-Fi aficionado like moi, there is a literature to support the idea. Like the quest for Unobtainium ore in AVATAR, we are most likely to colonize the solar system and beyond in search of resources and wealth. Over time, that experience will change our species in profound ways, both physiologically and philosophically. We will encounter other beings which will change our beliefs and our civilization. Probably we will interbreed with them. We will become technologically far more advanced and understand far more about how the Universe works.
If a STAR TREK-like society is in our future, then the Galaxy and the Universe at large will be our future home for a species much changed by the passage of Time. We will have left Earth before our Sun cooks the planet's surface but it's nice to think of some far future descendent of ours – knowing that here is where they originated – sitting on her Starship out at the far reaches of the solar system watching the coda to the Sun's history. And all that has gone before.
Or at the very least - if we fail to leave Earth - our constituent atoms will ultimately drift out in the gases expelled by the Sun's death, perhaps to become part of the formation of another star and another newborn race of beings out in the vastness of Space.
Still star dust, after all.
So that's the local news, folks. Come back next month and we'll look out into the Galaxy and into deepest Space in search of the ultimate Fate of the Universe.
And hopefully, beyond...
To be Continued in the Next timeanddate.com Newsletter
Thank you for this friendly insight on our universe.
Would love to read you about the String Theory.

This course is an introductory class designed to guide advanced upper-semester voice students interested in learning effective teaching skills as a private voice teacher. Students will be directed in vocal technique and how to structure a lesson. As part of the class, students will work individually with a private student under the direction of the course instructor. Basic keyboard skills are recommended.
Syllabic pitch and rhythmic exercises for the voice and application to a variety of styles. Analysis of various recording artists, including Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Al Jarreau, Mark Murphy, and others. Assigned student projects.
An introductory survey course that will offer students a historic overview of the architects and pioneers of soul singing. Students will study performance and vocal techniques, as well as be assigned listening examples required to successfully sing and perform rhythmic phrasing and nuances indicative of soul, blues, R&B, gospel, and hip-hop. In addition, students will perform some music of great artists, such as Ray Charles, Minnie Ripperton, Fats Domino, Jean Carne, Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson, LaVern Baker, Peabo Bryson, Wilson Pickett, Mavis Staples, Donny Hathaway, Gladys Knight, Sylvester, Glen Jones, Shirley Caesar, Mahalia Jackson, the Clarke Sisters, Diana Ross and the Supremes, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, Tata Vega, Jeffrey Osborne, George Benson, Natalie Cole, Karen Wheeler, Lauryn Hill, Luther Vandross, Patti LaBelle, and a host of others.
This is a course designed to benefit both conducting students and vocalists who wish to hone their theater skills. Conducting students will observe the instructor coaching singers in theatrical material, both in performance and audition settings, eventually taking over the coaching under the instructor's supervision. The format is much like a master class. Each vocalist will have his/her moment to perform each week. Text and character analysis; choosing and fully realizing the dramatic action of the material; and determining the appropriate vocal style, correct key, and song's routine is discussed in each case. Emphasis is on the dramatic elements of the material as a basis for musical decisions, and how musical and theatrical aesthetics inform each other. Basic elements of song structure will also be addressed for the benefit of both singers and coaches. Vocalists may rehearse off-hours with conducting student/accompanists if they wish, but part of the training involves singing with pianists they have not rehearsed with to in order to improve communication skills with accompanists and simulate actual audition conditions.
A performance class for voice principals concentrating on vocal jazz performance with rhythm section. In-class performances are videotaped and evaluated for stage presence, microphone technique, music arrangements (including song introductions and endings), song selection and appropriate style, and vocal delivery and interpretation. Emphasis will focus on live club and concert performance, and interaction between the vocalist and rhythm section, the vocalist and audience, and the song program.
An advanced-level course for vocalists designed to improve improvisation skills through application of ear training and harmonic concepts including intervals, scales, and chord patterns. Students will study standard vocabulary of prescribed melodic patterns and rhythmic grooves played by instrumentalists, transcribe a variety of solos, and write original solo assignments. Note: Two sections are offered. Section 001 is primarily for jazz vocalists; section 002 is primarily for pop, rock, and R&B vocalists.
A systematic integration of vocal/body awareness and presentation skills applied to vocal performance. Through relaxation, breathing techniques, and body alignment students will learn to identify and balance vocal registers and improve vocal resonance and flexibility. Instruction includes a session on Alexander Technique and weekly performances with a rhythm section with an emphasis on lyrical interpretation.
This course focuses on understanding and performing theater for young people. During the semester, students will read and analyze a classic work of children's literature, explore how it is suitable for adaptation to theater, and then choose a 40 minute adaptation to perform for local schools and after school programs. Students will also be required to analyze and learn songs from musicals for family audiences, such as Seussical, The Wizard of Oz, Children's Letters to God, and Annie. During the semester, students will perform songs from youth musicals as well as present written analysis of those musicals. The course will require a tremendous commitment, including preparation outside of class time. This class is by audition only.
This course is a journey for the student in self-discovery, self-revelation, and self-expression combining musical elements to tell an autobiographical story. Students write an autobiographical one-person show based on their life experiences, including writing and performing original music. Course components include daily journal writing, script writing based on traditional dramatic play structure, plot and character development, and storytelling. The final project will be a fifteen-minute, self-produced one-person performance on stage for an audience.
An exploration of the classical art song with a different emphasis each semester (German lieder, French chanson, Italian art song and songs of the British Isles and America). Designed to introduce students to the rich and varied classical art song repertoire as well as increase proficiency in singing in other languages, to introduce the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), its rules and applications, and to strengthen the performance of art songs.
Level three (out of four levels) of the Voice Department's recommended structured learning path for improvisation. Rhythmic, melodic and harmonic considerations of vocal improvisation will be reviewed including syllable articulation pentatonic patterns, phrasing, and motivic development as applied to R&B and pop music. Midterm and final exams require student to demonstrate R&B phrasing in improvisation and recognize recorded music examples of improvisation in the R&B/pop idioms.
For songwriters who wish to better perform their own original material. Must self-accompany. Singers will work to develop their vocal skills while utilizing creative songwriting techniques that will help them personally connect with their original material. This process will spark a narrative for personal songwriting and vocal development. There will be weekly assignments including daily vocal workouts and daily journaling. As song styles are discussed and demonstrated in class, students will be assigned various musical song-forms over which to compose their personal narrative. There is an expectation of basic song-form knowledge, vocal skills, self-accompaniment and harmonic knowledge. Students will perform short assignments and their final full songs in class for support and critique.

no added fillers works good
I'm not sure if this does anything at all
Posted by PurplePegasus on Jul 07, 2012
I don't feel any effects either way. It's tasteless and slightly sweet like an homeopathic pellet and just as tiny. I'll try and trust that it's working but it's not really helping with painful circulation problems or teeth, yet. Hope it's not a placebo.
like it

I like the sublingual tablet, easy to take
I bought these for the fact they are tiny
Posted by Reviewer2050536 on Apr 21, 2015
If you have 100mcg of a vitamin, why put it in a big pill full of filler? This is nice and small. Bring down the price chaps.

I'm trying to understand your question. I think may be it wasn't a proper gaiwan, the leaves don't have much room to expand. Hope that answer your question.

I really enjoyed the review, by the way, especially the photos. Thank you!
Here is a "better" picture (now I know how to do it properly). I would say nothing unusual.thanks wrote:I should have been more specific, but yes I was only referring to the color of spent leaves. Was there a bit of red throughout the spent leaves?
Wow, not just better but spectacular! I see only a little red oxidation marks on these leaves.apache wrote: Here is a "better" picture (now I know how to do it properly). I would say nothing unusual.
Salsero wrote:As I understand it, red marks indicate oxidation as a result of bruising the leaf, similar to what is done to produce oolong or black tea. Too much can push the tea toward being more like a black tea, cover up deficiencies in the leaf, improve its young drinkability (at least for the uninitiated) and reduce its potential to age well. The liquor of tea that has been pushed in this direction will tend to be more orange and less yellow. I don't know if the producer does this on purpose or by accident.
It's a matter of degree, however, rather than a cut and dried distinction. Most sheng has a little red. The liquor and leaves of your Menghai YiWu ZhengShan look fine to me. That is exactly all I know and it may not be 100% accurate.

Consensual living is a process, a philosophy, a mindset
by which we seek to live in harmony with our families and
community. It involves finding mutually agreed upon solutions,
where the needs of both parties are not only considered but
addressed. Everyone's wants and needs are equally valid,
regardless of age. Conflicting wants or needs are discussed
and mutually agreeable solutions are created or negotiated
which meet the underlying needs of all parties.
Consensual Living is broad and far reaching. It influences
the way we interact with everyone, from our immediate families
to our community and the world at large. It is about assigning
positive intent and looking for solutions. This can apply
in so many arenas. It can change interactions, even if they
are historically adversarial.
With this website and Yahoo group,
we wanted to create an atmosphere of give and take where
people are free to explore the ideas of living consensually
with their families and communities. We want it to
be a place to ask questions and discuss the idea of self
determination, and how that looks in the different families
and in different situations.

The lunacy of the moon, that lets me know that if all religions of faith do not come to the aid of the mothers of the FLDS ranch in Eldorado, Texas, the welfare states will soon come after your religion. My faith in the Episcopal Church could be next because they have a creed that speaks of unseen things and it's taught to children.
The long and short of it are seculars of psychiatry depend upon false referrals and social workers for expert witnesses. The law that needs changing is federal law 460-U.S.-325-329-46 (1983) which allows social workers the power to control juvenile courts with outright lies and have absolute immunity.

Skip to comments.Students face expulsion from school for pulling gun on home intruder
Posted on 11/09/2013 5:07:22 PM PST by ConservativeStatement
Two Gonzaga University seniors are on the verge of being expelled after using a gun to defend themselves from a career criminal trying to break into their apartment.
Erik Fagan and Dan McIntosh, who both live in an off-campus near the schools Spokane, OR., campus, were accosted last month by a man demanding money while standing in the door of their apartment.
Mr Fagan offered food and a blanket, but declined to give ex-con John Taylor any money, he told KHQ. Mr Taylor then tried to fight his way into the apartment but was scared off by Mr McIntoshs hand gun.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
Campus security is all over campus. Awesome.
...and I thought Americans were supposed to be bad at geography.
Lawyer up. Now.
To the Lib mind they should have let the perk kill them.
The university think their students have a duty to die
They can live in the basement at the Prezzy's House where it will be safer.
Yup. Get a lawyer. Fight on. If you need to, run screaming from Gonzaga. The NERVE!!
Schools led by fools.
The burglars are solid DNC voters.
They DNC will do all they can to ensure their community level redistribution plans continue.
US prisons over flow with democrats.
Lawyer up. Now.
Absolutely. And call the NRA; there are folks who defend victims (of both the University and the "homeless" creature) of citizens having their 2nd Amendment rights denied.
" live in an off-campus"
Sue the university for millions of dollars. This is outrageous.
Maybe transfer to a saner school.
I can kinda sorta see the school's fear and it's tied, I believe, to lawsuit happiness. Since it apparently happened in a housing unit kept by the school, the school is worrying about the possibility of getting sued by someone shot by an occupant of the unit. Now in a saner age such a suit would get laughed off. But our new fangled "deep pockets" require, not just allow, some sufficiently rich party who is a minor co-defendant to stand the whole cost of an inflated lawsuit. One of the earlier ways liberalism went off the rails.
Gonzaga portable gun-free zone goes where you go.
Also... the more we can get back to a rights-based view of keeping and bearing arms, perhaps the less opportunity there would be for such lawsuits to win. Because if the school can't control the use of the guns, then it cannot be held liable for not having controlled them.
Never trust your life to an effing Liberal. They're going to righteously do exactly the wrong thing.
And their jurisdiction to punish students for engaging in legal behavior off-campus? Shoot, hit them for more money than you'd make in a lifetime with a degree from their "school", and all is well.
An interesting lawsuit?
When asked by the station how students are expected to defend themselves in the face of such a restriction, the school claimed campus security is all over campus.
Ha, ha! Good one! These guys live OFF CAMPUS!
Apparently Spokane has gotten larger since I was there last ;')
"The burglars are solid DNC voters."
That's hitting the nail on the head. Dems seem to always side with criminals because that is their voting block.
'The universitys weapons policy forbids the possession of weapons... in both on-campus and off-campus housing,' a spokesperson told the station.
Since Gonzaga is a private Jesuit school, the best bet for these students is to appeal to the bishop of Spokane to act as a reasonable mediator. While the school may legitimately expect its students to maintain both morality and decorum, to expect them to be victimized or murdered while off campus, just to obey an arbitrary rule that they be unarmed and helpless, is foolish indeed.
No harm came of their actions, and two lives might have been saved. This is far more important than whimsical and secular rules.
I wonder what the range of the zone is? What if a kid lived in an apartment 50 miles away and commuted?
does Campus security go where you go too??
so what? Why would they want to get an education at a facility run by such idiots?
I was nearly at the point I was going to hire these folks...
...but I just got my degree and got the Hell out of there with sheepskin in hand. Actually, my one buddy pointed me to Levin... this was a long time ago... I dunno if he coulda helped or not, though.
Point is I got my degree, and I will never ever contribute one penny to that school, or the Alumni association... EVER.
I can definately empathize with these kids from Gonzaga. Any Gonzaga Alumni on here should take up the case for these kids and personally see to it that a hornets nest is stirred up and that the administration responsible for this violation of constitutional rights is fired. Money talks in these situations.
This is a Catholic school in Spokane, Washington, If that stunt was pulled here, G-d knows what would happen at the average State School even in a pure red state, much less a liberal arts type college or University of any kind. Maybe Theological Seminaries are the sole legit option they have.
Power extends even off campus. So, this little bitty 4000 student pissant college no one has ever heard of trumps the US Constitution. Hope those boys end up owning it.
No, but the med school does have wannabe coroners who need the practice.
The fools who are trying to expel these two students for legally exercising their second amendment rights should be imprisoned in the same cell as the home intruder!
The home intruder needs to live with the Administrators.
Now, I can't blame the students for their actions, and in fact they put up with the crumby perp far longer than I would have. So, I hope they do not get expelled. But I also have to reluctantly agree that the university is probably within its legal rights here, as sucky as their decision is.
The off-campus housing the students are living in is university housing - """
Then I would sue the University for not providing proper security.
If they won't let me take care of myself with my own 'security', then they should keep the buildings & occupants safe.
They cannot have it both ways, IMO.
Agreed. These kids don't deserve to be expelled. If anything, they should be praised for their patience and restraint (the homeless perp is lucky he's not stretched out in a morgue, given his aggressive behavior that night).
Hope things work out for these two guys.
The burglars are solid DNC voters.
Thats hitting the nail on the head. Dems seem to always side with criminals because that is their voting block.
See Sullivan Laws in New York. They were put in place to protect muggers by Sullivan, an associate of Tammany Hall who ran/ruled the gangs.
Gonzaga is in an EXTREMELY nasty part of Spokane. Crime, particularly property crimes, are very common around there because of all the social lowlifes preying on the "rich" students. But the statistics get downplayed because it would make the very prestigious university look bad.
[To the Lib mind they should have let the perk kill them.]
Or they should have challenged the hoodlum to a debate in which the students' superior intellects—refined by higher education—would have exposed the folly of the hoodlum's cause and sent him packing.
Well there's legal rights and there's the CODE OF THE WEST. That's where the students are from and that's where Gonzaga is. The college obviously thot they didn't need any security but they are going to lose every time they try to force people to be defenseless. The housing agreement the students signed says "no weapons" but that implies security is in place. As with all the other recent "gun free zone" incidents it's the school that's shown its weak spot and they'd better back it up in a hurry or their trust fund is going to take a major hit. Remember Spokane is where the WW II vet recently got killed by beating when two of their finest tried to hold him up. The students had absolute reason to be fearful, concerned, and resist with all they had. Gonzaga doesn't play football so the students were not likely to be full grown horses-—most likely don't have the physical skills to bust the head of the robber-—all the more reason for the school to have some security out there in the 'hood.
Hey, you're preaching to the choir, FRiend. I don't fault these two guys one bit. I'm just sayin' the article didn't have the "off campus" part quite right.
Yeah, that is a pretty critical omission. Stupid rule, but it's their property. But under those circumstances, why would anyone agree to live there?
The apartments the students were living in are owned and run by the school.
which is why they were hit by the perp, criminals know where the gun free zones are.
Destruction of the society that is based on God's Law is their motivation,
and that's why they side with criminals.
Buh b buh bu buh boo
Sue the pants off them. Ruin careers. Break up families. Make their children cry.
It's inherently obvious that the security that they
inherently agreed to provide by requiring residents to be defenseless
was criminally negligent in defending those students.
Yep, counter-suit.
It's sad when the UK reports what our Pravda won't.
They're alive. It's worth it. Finish their education somewhere else.
If we're to call ourselves "Free Men" we should behave as such.
They did. Case closed.

Begin In The Bedroom
For the biggest bang for your buck and your time, the bedroom is the best place to begin allergy proofing. This is true simply because you spend such a large percentage of your time in the bedroom. Most people sleep 7 to 8 hours a night. Then add the time spent watching TV, reading, or getting dressed in the bedroom. You can see that people easily spend one-third of their lives in the bedroom. So let's take a look at how to make your bedroom a welcome refuge from allergens.
- Allergy-Proof Your Bed
- Laundry Care
- Regulate Humidity
- Take Control Of Dust
- Make Good Choices
- Purify Your Bedroom Air
- Carpet Treatment
- Filter Your Home's Air
- Conclusion: The Bucket Theory
The Asthma & Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) states, "The first and most important step to reduce dust mites is to cover mattresses and pillows in zippered dust-proof covers." Dust mites and their allergen will stay trapped inside the allergy cover instead of circulating in the air you breathe all night. Dust mite allergen escaping from your mattress, pillow, and box spring is similar to baby powder poofing out of its container. Every time you sit on the side of the bed or turn over, dust mite allergen is coming out just like baby powder. Sometimes people do not understand the need to encase the box spring as well as the mattress and pillow. I have another analogy for you. Think of it as wearing one glove or two. One will certainly help, but for maximum benefit, wear two. It is the same with your bed. Encasing the mattress and pillow will make a big difference, but for maximum benefit, encase the box spring too.
"The next most important step," continues the AAFA, "is to wash the sheets and blankets weekly in hot water." If you have bedding that cannot withstand repeated washings in hot water, an equally effective alternative is the use of an all-temperature allergen detergent or an all-temperature additive. Remember to wash mattress pads and comforters as well as sheets and blankets. All bedding not inside an allergy encasing needs to be washed. Anything you do not want to wash weekly, such as mattress toppers, should also be placed inside the allergy encasing (extra deep mattress encasings are available to accommodate this). Also, other fabric furnishings in your bedroom such as curtains, bed skirts, and throw rugs need to be washed every 7-14 days.
Indoor humidity should be maintained at 40-50% to prevent mold and mildew and keep dust mite populations in check. In the summer it may be necessary to use a dehumidifier, especially in areas that are not air conditioned. In the winter, you may wish to use a humidifier for comfort since very dry air can be irritating to nasal and sinus passages. To be sure you are keeping the relative humidity in your bedroom at the accepted level, a humidity gauge is very helpful.
At times, you may notice condensation on window frames, sills and other surfaces that can lead to mold and mildew. Drying and cleaning the surface with a mold remover, such as Vital Oxide or NAS-12, and applying a lasting protective coat of No More Mildew will help retard the reoccurrence of mold and mildew. If your bathroom adjoins your bedroom, moisture from the bathroom can be a problem in the bedroom too. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends using (and installing if you don't have one) an exhaust fan, vented to the outdoors. Keeping the bathroom door closed while showering can also help keep humidity low in the bedroom.
Dust is comprised of many kinds of particles, and you may be allergic to one or more of the components. Dead skin cells, mold spores, pet dander, dust mite allergen, and pollen are all part of dust. Keeping dust at a minimum is very important for the person with allergies, asthma or sinus symptoms. It is also important to collect and trap dust, not just stir it up. When dusting furniture or other surfaces, use a damp cloth or an electrostatic cloth and other dusting tools to catch dust. Eliminate as many knickknacks as possible since they are dust catchers.
Vacuuming often - weekly is good - is also recommended, and a HEPA vacuum or an anti-allergen dustbag with a sealed closure for disposal will make a big difference. When I used a HEPA vacuum for the first time, I immediately noticed that I stopped sneezing, and could happily no longer smell dust in the air as I vacuumed. Be sure to check your bag often, especially after using a carpet cleaning powder or a powdered carpet dust mite treatment. I have found that a dustbag only holds so much. Fortunately, many vacuums today provide either a bag change indicator on the dustbag or the machine itself. But to be safe, it is always good to visually check for yourself. Finally, with a HEPA vacuum, remember to change the HEPA filter regularly.
When furnishing the bedroom, you can choose furniture and accessories that are friendly to allergy, asthma and sinus sufferers. If you have seating in your bedroom, the best choices are wood and leather. Curtains and bedskirts can be more trouble than they are worth since all fabric in the bedroom needs to be washed at least every 2 weeks in hot water or with an all-temperature allergen laundry detergent or additive. Use hypoallergenic comforters, but if you don't have one, or have a comforter you can't wash that often and don't want to part with it, put it in a special comforter allergy encasing for protection for allergens. In most instances, you still should be able to use a decorative duvet cover over your encased comforter, just remember to wash it weekly. You can also protect yourself by sleeping on allergen-proof pillows. Likewise, choose sheets that are resistant to allergens, and mattress pads and blankets that will hold up under repeated hot water washings.
A room air purifier with HEPA filtration is very beneficial for removing allergens, such as pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and dust particles, as well as bacteria and some viruses from the air. Most people say they can feel the difference in air quality in just a day or two. For optimum benefit, keep doors and windows closed, run the air purifier 24/7, and choose the right model for the size of your room. If you will be sleeping with the air purifier, choose one that is quiet, at least on the low setting for overnight use. Breathing clean air all night can help make you feel better all day. Be sure to follow the care instructions for your air purifier, and change the air filters on a timely basis
According to the American Academy of Allergy Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI), other irritants to eliminate from the bedroom of someone with allergies and asthma include tobacco smoke, aerosols, paint, perfumes, cleaning products or other strong odors or fumes. Special filters for odors and fumes are available in some room air cleaners.
Whenever possible, carpet should be replaced with hard flooring, especially in the bedroom of an allergy or asthma individual. As you can imagine, dust mites love carpet. It is second only to your bed on their short list of places to live (soft furnishings being their third favorite place). And wherever they live, they leave behind dried body parts and excrement. Thinking about it makes me want to tiptoe around the house. When replacing carpet is not an option, the use of dust mite carpet treatments is an effective alternative. Some products kill the mites while others neutralize the allergen. Using the two types alternately gives the most benefit.
As your heating and cooling system circulates air through the house, some of the air from other rooms will drift into your bedroom. So keep the air in your whole house as clean as possible. The use of a good allergen reduction furnace filter is an effective way to reduce airborne particles. Some people prefer, and most manufacturers recommend, changing the filter about every 3 months (at the beginning of each season is a good way to remember). Others prefer a permanent filter that lasts virtually forever, but needs to be washed monthly with a good permanent filter cleaner.
Another way to reduce airborne particles is to cover the vent where heated or cooled air is coming into the room. We recommend covering only 1 or 2 vents because covering every vent can put a strain on your HVAC system. So start in the bedroom and then cover the vent in another room where you spend a lot of time. This is easily done by attaching filter material to the outside of the vent with a Velcro-type fastener or by placing the filter material inside the vent cover. You can also spray it regularly with a good vent filter spray to keep mold spores from entering the bedroom through ductwork.
Think of your immune system as a bucket that is constantly being filled with allergens. When it overflows, you have an allergic reaction. So the goal is to keep the bucket from overflowing, and the best way to do that is to keep allergens away from your bucket. That is why the allergen avoidance measures suggested above work to make your bedroom a welcome haven from allergens, and may help reduce the frequency and extent of allergic reactions.
