As you explore the trails and parks of the Illinois and Michigan Canal National
Heritage Corridor, you'll become aware of the beauty and variety of the
landscape along the canal route. But you may not realize that the distinctively
shaped hills and ridges, the bedrock gorges, the marshes, and the lakes
are all evidence of the activity of glaciers and glacial meltwaters.
Continental glaciers invaded Illinois
repeatedly during the Ice Age, a span of time from about 2.4 million years to
10,000 years ago. The modern landscape you now see records the retreat of the
last major ice sheet that extended into Illinois from 25,000 to 14,000 years
ago. This invasion took place during the most recent or Wisconsinan Glaciation,
which geologists estimated extended from 75,000 to 10,000 years B.P. (before
present time). During that time, the Laurentide Ice Sheet covered much of Canada
and the northern United States. Nurtured by a continental climate colder than
today's, the ice sheet grew as snow accumulated and the pressure of its own
weight caused it to change to ice and spread outward from its Canadian center.
The tongue of the ice sheet that flowed into Illinois came from the north. It became known as the Lake Michigan Lobe because it flowed as a river of ice through the Lake Michigan Basin before it spread out into central Illinois. When the glacier reached its southernmost limit about 20,000 years ago, the ice was a mile thick at Chicago--an enormous weight that depressed the land beneath. Later as the ice retreated and the glacier's weight was released, the Earth's crust began to rebound. The crust is still rebounding today, especially from Milwaukee northward. The picture on the right shows Wisconsinan end Moraines in Illinois.
The following two diagrams show what scientists think the landscape of northeastern Illinois looked like 1) about 14,000 years ago when the Wisconsinan glacier had retreated to near the present shoreline of Lake Michigan, and 2) about 200 years ago before man had modified the natural drainage left after the glacier had disappeared.
When glaciers extended into Illinois, the climate was much different from today. At the ice margin, long-haired mastodons browsed among spruce forests. The average yearly temperatures were near or just above freezing, and most of the year's precipitation was in the form of snow. In the summer, enormous volumes of meltwater and sediment flowed away from the glacier, but during winter, river volumes were reduced to a relative trickle.
Although we can read the story of the events of the last glaciation from the landforms we see today, we have to probe deeper to understand the timing. By looking at the sequences of rocks and unconsolidated deposits, we can begin to understand the relative timing of geologic events. For example, where lake clay underlies glacial till, it is clear that a lake existed before a glacier advanced across the landscape. If we find undisturbed beach sand overlying glacial till, we know that a lake formed after the glacier retreated. But unless we can date the deposits, we do not know the exact chronology fo these events.
The development of radiometric age-dating techniques in the past 30 years has made it possible to establish the actual timing of certain geologic events. These techniques are based on the fact that over long periods of time radioactive elements break down (decay) at a constant rate. All living things contain the radioactive element Carbon-14, and while they are living it is exchanged freely with the carbon in the earth's atmoshphere. Once the living thing dies, however, this exchange stops; no more Carbon-14 is picked up from the atmosphere and the decay process begins. By carefully measuring the amount of Carbon-14 remaining in certain materials such as wood, peat, shell, and the bone, scientists can calculate radiocarbon ages for these materials back to several tens of thousands of years.
Radiometric dating of organic material that has been found in glacial and lake deposits in Ilinois has permitted the development of a timetable for glacial and lake events that happened during the past 25,000 years. Dates from samples of wood found beneath and within late Wisconsinan glacial deposits indicate that trees were growing in northern Illinois about 25,000 years ago when the glacier was advancing. Radiocarbon dates also reveal that the glacier reached its southernmost position about 20,000 years ago.
Radiocarbon dates tell us when the glacier retreated into the Lake Michigan Basin and that preglacial Lake Chicago formed more than 13,000 years ago. Radiocarbon ages of wood found in three abandoned beaches at the south end of Lake Michigan have also been determined. The Glenwood Beach, 60 feet above present Lake level, formed between 11,800 and 11,000 years ago. Both of these beaches formed in Lake Chicago when the glacier was still in the Lake Michigan Basin. The Toleston Beach, 20 feet above present Lake level, formed in Lake Nipissing between 6,000 and 4,000 years ago, after the glacier had completely melted. The age-dating of these beaches has made it possible to develop a detailed lake level record and deglaciation history of the Lake Michigan Basin.
The idea of developing a waterway to connect
the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico came from the topography left after the
last glacial retreat. The history of man's use of the waterway begins with the
Indians, who used the low divide between the waters of the Chicago portage between
the Great Lakes and Illinois-Mississippi River water routes. Before the natural
drainage east of the divide was modified by man, the Chicago River flowed sluggishly
across the flat lake bed left by glacial Lake Chicago, reaching Lake Michigan
near the present site of Navy Pier. West of the divide, the Des Plaines River
flowed southward off the morainic upland onto the same flat lake bed, but its
course then turned westward through the ancient Chicago Outlet Valley to join
Illinois-Mississippi drainage route to the Gulf of Mexico. The low divide between
the Des Plaines and Chicago Rivers (known as the Chicago Portage) was only a
few miles wide. It was so flat and swampy that during wet seasons the Indians
and early explorers could travel by canoe from one river to the other without
The explorer, Jolliet, recognized the potential importance of a canal connecting the Des Plaines and Chicago Rivers as early as 1673. Recognition of the commercial value of such a canal was the impetus for moving the original boundaries of Illinois about 40 miles north to include a shore on Lake Michigan and a site for the terminus of the canal to be built when the territory would become a state in 1818. In 1830, Chicago was surveyed as the potential terminal of the Illinois and Michigan Canal. Located strategically at the mouth of the Chicago River, Chicago was at that time a small fur trading settlement and military outpost. Construction of the Illinois and Michigan Canal and its opening in 1848 were directly responsible for the growth of Chicago as a major marketing and processing center and the settlement and development of northeastern Illinois.
Prosperity, however, was not limited to the area once known as Fort Dearborn. To meet the needs of commerce along the Canal route, Lockport, Joliet, La Salle, Channahon, Morris, Seneca, and Ottawa were established. These canal towns grew with the Canal traffic, and the whole Corridor benefitted. Chicago became a manufacturing and trade center that sent building materials, machinery, grain, livestock, and many other finished materials to the populous east.

Skip to comments.Suddenly There's Talk Of A New Motive For The Benghazi Attack
Posted on 11/19/2012 1:32:03 PM PST by Ernest_at_the_Beach
As the spotlight shines on ex-CIA Director David Petraeus' biographer-turned-mistress Paula Broadwell, journalists have uncovered a speech in which she may have revealed classified information about the attack on a U.S. consulate in Benghazi.
Broadwell told a Denver audience in October: "Now I don't know if a lot of you heard this, but the CIA annex [to the consulate] had taken a couple of Libyan militia members prisoner and they think that the attack on the consulate was an effort to try to get these prisoners back."
The CIA adamantly denied her the claim, which would have been a violation of laws prohibiting CIA detention. It has also been suggested that Broadwell was confused when she made that statement.
A source of Fox News, however, corroborated Broadwell's claim today.
If there were ever a motive to attack Americans, it would be the disappearance of friends.
But it's important to note that the CIA operation was unknown to anyone else until it was exposed on the night of the attack and publicly acknowledged in congressional hearings on October 10. The consulate, on the other hand, was the official front for local CIA operations. If there were an original target to strike Americans, it would be the consulate, rather than the safe house.
Broadwell also said in her speech that intelligence shows "the militia members in Libya were watching the demonstration in Cairo and it did sort of galvanize their effort."
The following timeline is according to the CIA:
Once the fired up Libyans attacked the consulate at 9:40 p.m., the lives of Stevens and his colleagues were in immediate danger because the ostensibly pro-American police force, the February 17th Brigade militia, disappeared during the attack.
(Excerpt) Read more at businessinsider.com ...
Was that the militia's motives in attacking the British Ambassador and the Red Cross as well?
Ho Hum...so what else is new?
By all means! Lets find something else to distract from the only issue that matters to me.
Trying to make the attack sound spontaneous and connected in some way with the video.
She fails to reconcile a member of the consulate security seen photographing the facility with her spontaneous attack narrative.
The CIA Probably Had The Authority To Hold Prisoners At The Secret Benghazi Annex
This is from a week ago. ??
I'm here. :)
Well, I simply don't think she just made that story up(about the CIA taking a couple militants into custody). She had been palling around with some pretty high level people to risk the consequences of fabricating such a thing. I believe she did become aware of some information to that effect.
I'm actually glad she said it, because there does need to be oversight of the Obama administration, including intelligence agencies.
Clearly they need to clear up that MISUNDERSTANDING.....
...the rats need a new red herring.
WHO gave the order to NOT rescue our men in Benghazi?
WHY were they left to DIE?
WHY were we LIED to?
"...if he ever finds out about the arms smuggling, he'll go over the edge"
like a car named Nova?
I think they were trading terrorists for anti-aircraft weapons.
Al Qaeda figured it could get both since there was no security.
New Motive?
Hell, I like the old motive. The video. You know... the excuse Obama and Rice kept repeating ad nauseum for days after the attack.
It must have been that video that sparked the rape and murder of our Ambassador and killed 3 other Americans. That's what our leaders said, right? Again and again.
And, surely they wouldn't lie, right?
That is the key question, for sure.
But how come we are learning more from the General's ho than we are from the White Hut?
How come Broadwell had more classified top secret intel than the Freaking Pentagon?
If you then ask why might that be interesting then i would point to several threads ...(If I can find them all again).
Libyans, diplomats: CIA's Benghazi annex a secret
There is another one ....but I need to find it.
Americans were under attack, for whatever reason, for more than 7 hours. They resisted and called for help. For some reason, help was denied and they were left to die. WHY was help denied and WHO denied it?
Why the CIA explanation of a terrorist attack was changed to a "spontaneous demonstration", and why there was an attack at all are questions to be answered for the record, but they are diversions to muddy the water and protect the guilty.
Obviously, they all had this information. It was simply that they didn't get the cover-up memo out to her in time.
But I am slow ...so I pnged you before I knew you were here...oh rats...I am such a pest ...with all this pinging stuff.
First this block buster tid bit out of the report below, which has flying under the radar:
"According to multiple intelligence sources who have served in Benghazi, there were more than just Libyan militia members who were held and interrogated by CIA contractors at the CIA annex in the days prior to the attack. Other prisoners from additional countries in Africa and the Middle East were brought to this location.
The Libya annex was the largest CIA station in North Africa, and two weeks prior to the attack, the CIA was preparing to shut it down. Most prisoners, according to British and American intelligence sources, had been moved two weeks earlier."
Now back to the Fox news story:
Petraeus mistress may have revealed classified information at Denver speech on real reason for Libya attack
By Jennifer Griffin, Adam Housley
Published November 12, 2012
Biographer Paula Broadwell could be facing questions about whether she revealed classified information about the Libya attack that she was privy to due to her relationship with then-CIA Director David Petraeus.
At an Oct. 26 speech at her alma mater, the University of Denver, on the same day that Fox News reported that the rescue team at the CIA annex had been denied help, Broadwell was asked about Petraeus handling of the Benghazi situation.
Her response was reported originally by Israels Arutz Sheva and Foreign Policys Blake Hounshell.
Broadwell quoted the Fox News report when she said: The facts that came out today were that the ground forces there at the CIA annex, which is different from the consulate, were requesting reinforcements."
Broadwell went on to explain more sensitive details from the Benghazi attacks, particularly concerning what the real cause might have been.
Now, I don't know if a lot of you heard this, but the CIA annex had actually, um, had taken a couple of Libyan militia members prisoner and they think that the attack on the consulate was an effort to try to get these prisoners back. So that's still being vetted.
In the original Oct. 26 Fox News report, sources at the annex said that the CIAs Global Response Staff had handed over three Libyan militia members to the Libyan authorities who came to rescue the 30 Americans in the early hours of Sept. 12.
A well-placed Washington source confirms to Fox News that there were Libyan militiamen being held at the CIA annex in Benghazi and that their presence was being looked at as a possible motive for the staged attack on the consulate and annex that night.
According to multiple intelligence sources who have served in Benghazi, there were more than just Libyan militia members who were held and interrogated by CIA contractors at the CIA annex in the days prior to the attack. Other prisoners from additional countries in Africa and the Middle East were brought to this location.
The Libya annex was the largest CIA station in North Africa, and two weeks prior to the attack, the CIA was preparing to shut it down. Most prisoners, according to British and American intelligence sources, had been moved two weeks earlier.
The CIA, though, categorically denied these allegations, saying: The CIA has not had detention authority since January 2009, when Executive Order 13491 was issued. Any suggestion that the agency is still in the detention business is uninformed and baseless.
Broadwells affair with Petraeus was likely known to Holly Petraeus, according to family friends. The FBI reportedly knew about it months beforehand and White House Counterterrorism adviser John Brennan reportedly was aware that there was a relationship as early as the summer of 2011.
The White House strongly denied that Brennan was aware so early.
It is irresponsible and flat out wrong for Fox News to run an anonymous, unsubstantiated, and blatantly false accusation, as Mr. Brennan was first made aware of the issue last Wednesday," spokesman Tommy Vietor said.
Broadwell, whose affair with Petraeus reportedly ended earlier this year, continued to serve as an informal spokesman for the CIA director. She suggests in her Denver speech that Petraeus knew almost immediately that the attack was a terror attack -- possibly to free militia members.
Still looking for other threads.
"militia members in Libya were watching"
Where? In a movie house? The mayor's office? Down by the port? Next door to the embassy?
Interesting points!
More smoke and mirrors, as if Broadwell wasn't capable of covering for Petreaus running a gun-running operation. She's an innocent victim caught in a crossfire you know ;-)
I thought this at first, and it is a possibility, but I think it's too complex.
1. Logical consistency.
2. Agreement with experience.
3. Economy of explanation.
The Russian/Syrian angle takes a lot of time to explain. Look at what Erik Latani (sp?) wrote above. That is a simpler explanation.
Thanks Ernest. Anything to shift blame from the darling of the Partisan Media Shills.
There has been nothing "new" reveled that has not been brought out weeks ago. The rags all take a shot at how they want to present things. Same goes for the idiot box goons.
Now that makes sense....had not seen that thought before....

Long before the emergence of household chemical goods humans learned the habits and preferences of mosquitoes, and using the knowledge learned to reduce the risk of being bitten by these insects.
As a rule, various means, including repellents that frighten away insects are used to protect against mosquitoes. Repellents are substances used to scare off insects. Their mechanism of action is either in mosquito frightening with caustic odor, or in disguise of "an attractive aroma". Of course now there are a lot of repellents on sale for every taste but natural mosquito repellents are most safe for human health, which is very important, especially concerning their use for children or for people who can not tolerate "synthetics."
There is a wide variety of proven mosquito's protection means among people "recipes". Mosquitoes can not sustain the smell of tomato leaves. If they feel it, they just fly away. You can put a few potted tomato bushes in front of windows or on the balcony and it will be a reliable barrier against the pesky bloodsuckers. Also on the balcony you can put pots of flowers, and may the basil and tansy be among them. Their scent scares away mosquitoes.
There are many homemade mosquito repellents based on essential oils: lemon, lavender, peppermint, clove, basil, eucalyptus, anise, cedar tree oil. Tea tree oil can also be used as a repellent.
The above-listed oils can be added in special lamps for the spread of odors – aromatic lamp. Also the exposed skin can be lubricated with essential oils. You can add them in cream or drop (5-10 drops) on open fire: a fireplace, a bonfire, a candle, on a heated frying pan. A piece of gauze can be saturated with oil of these plants and be putted on the windowsill; you can also lubricate the window frame with the relevant oil.
Essential oils are good because they can be applied to both adults and children. Just be sure you do not have the oil allergy. If you want these tools to work really well, they must be applied to the body every two hours. If you have a private house, you can place the vessels with water and essential oil in the yard.
The vanilla extract, preferably natural is also workable. It must be applied to the pulse points – wrists, neck, elbows and behind the knees.
The smell of crumbled leaves of wormwood, thyme, melissa and magnolia vine also frightens away mosquitoes. None of the insects touches the face, if you wash yourself with the decoction of wormwood roots. Garlic has not very pleasant smell, but it also works. The smell of valerian, from which the decoction can be prepared, effectively deters mosquitoes.
Mosquitoes also do not like the smoke from the fire. Smoke from the fire will be more effective if you throw pine cones and twigs or slightly dry-through juniper needles in the fire.
Persian, Dalmatian or Caucasian camomile (pyrethrum) is the old proven remedy for mosquitoes. A few dried inflorescences, stems and leaves of these species of camomile can be putted into the room, and you will get rid of mosquitoes for a week.
So, home homemade remedies for mosquitoes, of course, are good because they are simple, safe for health and environmentally friendly.
Today in the 21th one hundred year anorexia is a big problem pertaining to kids. Specifically for little girls who're having dreams about getting versions and achieving lots of lovers. It's a serious condition and using capsules from time and energy to time will never be ample to help remedy anorexia treatment.

For Rochester Americans' goalie David Leggio, asking captain Colin Stuart for advice was as easy as Eddie Vedder turning to Mike McCready for advice on a guitar lick.
Leggio, who grew up in Williamsville, N.Y., wanted his new mask to represent Buffalo. He wanted to pay homage to his favorite play-by-play broadcaster Rick Jeanerett, his city, his high school St. Joe's, his friend's father who was killed serving in Iraq and the Amerks – after all, that is his team.
"We talked about it in training camp and even in the summer," Leggio says. "Knowing how artistic he is, he was able to give some me some ideas to give to the painter."
"Stewie," Rochester's 28-year-old captain, is also a painter and sculptor. He carries an easel on the road and has had his work featured in a gallery in Hayward, Wis.
"It's something I got into during high school," Stuart says, still in his skates, leaning up against the cold concrete wall outside the Amerks' locker room. "I went to college and didn't do it for awhile. After I turned pro, with all the downtime we have in the afternoons and in between games and travel, it's something I picked back up."
Masks aren't his specialty. He paints mostly outdoor stuff, fish and scenes from Winnie the Pooh. The fish are an ode to his favorite outdoor hobby. Eeyore, Tigger and Christopher Robin are for his newborn daughter Hayden Grace.
"Hopefully, many years down the road," Stuart told a local TV station. "My baby girl will say, 'Dad painted this for me before I was born' and she can take it with her wherever she goes."
He never expected to get attention for his art from a gallery or a TV station. Art was simply a way to find silence - here and there, a few hours of peace from thinking penalty kills, his career and fatherhood.
"Pearl Jam? Maybe we'll talk about Pearl Jam next time"
Jerry Seinfeld had a joke about the funny things that men bond over. The crux of the joke was that if two guys like sports and women, they can be friends. Leggio and Stuart bonded over sports, women – Stuart's wife and Leggio's fiance are close – and the 90s grunge band Pearl Jam.
"I'm a Pearl Jam fan, but Stewie is a Pearl Jam fanatic," the goalie says, being very serious about the qualifier. "He's been in the Ten Club (Pearl Jam's official fan club) for like 20 years. That's a long time."
The long-haired goalie stops mid-sentence to wish two younger players good luck. The pair's being reassigned to the Sabres' East Coast Hockey League affiliate, the Gwinett Gladiators. The two head down a small stairwell toward the players' parking lot – both with hopes of finding more playing time and earning their way back to the AHL. Leggio's seen a lot of players leave the arena with bags this year.
"Yeah, that guy's been to a lot of Pearl Jam shows," Leggio says, snapping back to his stream of consciousness like he'd never left.
Leggio and the short-haired Stuart met in training camp in 2010. The Amerks' netminder was signed after playing in Finland, Stuart inked a one-year deal after spending several years with the Atlanta Thrashers' affiliate Chicago Wolves and Calgary's AHL club the Abbotsford Heat.
They've got more than Pearl Jam and in common. Both are introspective and personable – though Leggio is less skeptical of media. And they are both veterans still chasing a dream.
Stuart has already played 56 games in the NHL – 51 of which came with the Thrashers. They probably didn't expect him to play any. After one year playing in the highly-competitive United States Hockey League, he was drafted in the fifth round in 2001. The scouting report was pretty straight forward: Big, strong and smart – a power forward who can kill penalties and poke in a goal here and there.
Fifth-rounders are a crap shoot. Of the 32 picked in '01, only 10 others have made the NHL. Stewie's talent for strong two-way play and leadership have made his services valuable.
"When you have a lot of youth that's talented, it's about how to manage that," head coach Ron Rolston says after practice and a long day of player meetings. "We really missed Stewie when he was injured and we were without our captain for eight weeks. That takes a toll on a team from every aspect from how you travel to how you act and your professionalism and how the locker room is between periods and being able to handle the young guys who might be bouncing off the walls. For Stewie, he's got a calm demeanor about him. He commands the respect of the room."
You may think the captaincy is over rated. Maybe you are right, but the guys in the locker room wouldn't agree. After a late February meltdown that saw the Amerks lose back-to-back games including a 7-3 drubbing, Stuart called a players' only meeting. Veteran forward Derek Whitmore told Kevin Oklobzija of the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle that, the Amerks' captain "hammered home what makes this team go." Since, the team is 6-1 and has outscored opponents 22-13. Most importantly, they've stayed alive in the playoff race.
Pro scouts will tell you about the importance of makeup in determining which players will stick and which will end up being a waste of a draft pick. "Never underestimate the value of (a player) being a great guy," one said.
The Sabres do not underestimate it, putting a strong focus on character when considering veteran players. Walk into the locker room and you'll see players that those in the business call "consummate professionals" such as Leggio, Drew MacIntyre, Whitmore and Paul Szczechura – this is no accident.
"Especially in the American League," Leggio says. "Because you have so many young guys, you need a guy as a captain to lead the way, to lead by example with professionalism and work ethic. With Stewie, he's not afraid to speak his mind and when he does, guys listen."
"I think it boils down to an individual," Stuart says. "Everybody's different. There are certain people that need to get yelled and screamed at and there are other guys that it just takes one little quiet word or pulling them aside for two seconds. Different guys need different motivations, being able to see that is half the battle."
His role with the Sabres' organization is to be the "consummate pro," but Stuart is capable of being an NHL player. During his time with the Thrashers, he scored 13 points including four short-handed goals. He was a part of the 2007-08 Calder Cup champion Chicago Wolves and netted his career high point total in the AHL last season with Portland with 44 in 72 games.
This year has been tough. Stuart was the team's top scorer before the knee injury that Rolston eluded to derailed his best point-per-game season as well as his most prominent front-line role and a shot at a long-term chance with the big club.
Painting helped.
"Just like anyone else, I have hard days" Stuart says. "Maybe your play isn't where you want it to be or your point production is down, with something like that I turn a lot of the judgment and criticism on myself before anybody else does. So a great way for me to process all that is have the release of these hobbies.
"It's a way for me to be in a zone where I don't have to spend time thinking. I can be there and not have to think about anything for five hours at a time."
"I personally have an issue with not letting kids experience everything. There's no way that a young kid should be groomed to play in the NHL, they should be playing because they are having fun with it"
Stuart grew up in Rochester, Minn., in a hockey family – though he and his siblings were free to try any sport or activity they wanted. Apparently, they all liked hockey best. His two brothers and sister all have played at the highest level. Mike, his older brother played three games for the St. Louis Blues and spent time with multiple AHL teams.
"Mike has had an incredible impact on my hockey career," Stuart told Hockey's Future in 2003 while still in college. "Being an older brother he was a leader and a role model for me growing up. I watched him and still watch him have success at every level due to his incredible work-ethic and that's something I have always tried to imitate."
His younger brother Mark, a former first-round pick, is currently a defenseman with the Winnipeg Jets and Cristin, his sister, spent four years at Boston College – including being captain her senior year.
"She started off as a figure skater," Stuart says. "She started around 10 or 12 and fell in love with it. She got on a triple-a team in high school and traveled and made a lot of sacrifices. But she had a very successful career. She was a great player."
The Amerks' captain played with both his brothers at different times during his four years at Colorado College.
Their father Michael plays his own role in the sport as Professor of Orthopedics and Co-Director of Sports Medicine at the Mayo Clinic and the Chief Medical Officer of USA Hockey
"More than anything, I think hard work and determination. You get kicked down a lot in this profession. The percentage of guys that make it big time are few and far between. It takes something special, you have to stick out, you have to be somebody who comes to work everyday and is a professional."
Since returning from his knee injury, Stuart has five assists in nine games. If they are going to make the post-season, the Amerks need him to keep producing. The team has seen prospect Marcus Foligno, the team's fourth-leading scorer, be recalled twice recently. They've seen injuries that have forced defenseman to the front line and Stuart to double shift.
And the team can't afford to lose a single game. The Western Conference (yes, Rochester is in the Western Conference) is crazy close. The Amerks are currently in seventh place, but just three points ahead of the 11th place team.
That's the here and now.
Long term, Stuart's influence on the organization will stretch far beyond goals and assists, penalties killed or even Calder Cups. It will be in the professionalism of the next generation of Sabres.
As for his own future, he's accepted that there's no controlling whether he makes it back to The Show. That's up to the decision makers.
"One of the biggest things is staying patient and being happy with your situation," Stuart says. "I don't have any complaints. Obviously, the NHL is the pinnacle of my profession and I will work every day to make that happen."
For now, he can only stay motivated, paint and listen to Pearl Jam.
"I'd buy one of his paintings and put it in my house," Leggio says convincingly.

well i doubt that unless he gives the council info on that kind of stuff.
This was nice surprising chapter, Azuma looks insane, and Caprico must be real strong to be designated the leader of the 7 than again he seems the most experienced out of the 7. Azuma seems to have like some Native American tribe theme, coming out of the tree too.
IDK i mean mature looking i do not think carries much weight i mean you can have young leaders and i am not sure they have a leader. i could be a think were they are the 7 leaders of the guild that only answer to the master.
I knew from the beginning discussion of this arc the magical council would make a move I just didnt suspect Mest to be one of them. Shocking I complete expected him to be evil from the beginning. O well still it shows that the new council is not treating FT with kid gloves
Pandaman FOR PRESDIENT
there are tons of mages in fairy tail that were not the most mature looking and plenty of mature characters than were not the strongest. plus that guys like a goat all goats look old lol. all i mean is i do not think they have a leader other than the master. and all i was really getting at is that he did not mean he was the leader of the 7 when he said that and azuma looks just as mature as the goat . also ultear is a time mage so looks mean nothing to her. i mean you could be right he could very well be the strongest i am just saying i think you are taking the wrong road to get there i am not really saying you are wrong.
Sorry FM as dirty as it makes me feel I agree with Cross (shudders..) I think Caprico was only the lil dudes boss not the boss of the 7. Besides how it's worded because it could be a translation issue the reason I think he isn't is that he will end up on Lucy's carkeys at some point and it'd be silly for her to get such a powerful boss as her bitch

Narrow in front, wide in back, a radical design is a blueprint for future electric cars.
Nissan has unveiled a prototype vehicle that is as startling in its exterior design as its revolutionary powerplant.
It's being called the Nissan BladeGlider, a deltoid-style concept car that is derived from the shape of an experimental racer that Nissan has been trying out. It has a long, narrow nose with its wide-stance wheels in back. The shape is meant to evoke the lithe grace of a glider combined with the speed of a swept-wing aircraft, but to the average observer, it may remind them more of a top-fuel dragster.
BladeGlider is going to be formally unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show later this month.
"The goal was to revolutionize the architecture of the vehicle to provoke new emotions, provide new value and make visible for consumers how Zero Emissions can help redefine our conception of vehicle basics," said Francois Bancon, division general manager of product strategy for Nissan in a statement.
By placing the front wheel only about a yard apart, BladeGlider's Bancon says that new car will be light and fast. If Nissan becomes a production vehicle -- the automaker is hinting at the possibility -- it will mark the first use of in-wheel motors.

Despite the smoldering heat, sometimes you just can't pass up your favorite baby-blues. But how do you survive the summer without style-induced heat-stroke? Refinery29 had a chat with stylist Chrissy Volk on the topic of staying cool and stylish this summer, and she had a few things to say about wearing denim into the warmest months.
"If you've got to wear jeans, Chrissy suggests denim that's made with a high-cotton content and low synthetic materials. A jean with either a 98% cotton-2% lycra, or 96 % cotton-4% lycra fabric are good combinations. "

Raising Your Grandchild: Legal Issues
If you find yourself raising your grandchild, remember that you are not alone and a variety of resources are available to grandparents raising their grandchild. Varying degrees of custody are available, and your legal relationship will determine what benefits are available to you as well as your rights when dealing with the education and health systems.
Formal Ties
The relationship you have with your grandchild's parents will help you decide which legal action to pursue. If the parents will not release custody of your grandchild, you can hire an attorney and sue your grandchild's parents in court. However, you must be able to prove your grandchild's parents are unfit to raise their child. Consider the following legal options carefully:
Powers of Attorney: your grandchild's parents might need to take a temporary leave, and you will need to make certain decisions for your grandchild. Parents can create a power of attorney which allows you to enroll your grandchild in school or seek medical attention if necessary. The power of attorney does not dissolve parental rights, and the individual who created the power of attorney can revoke your rights at anytime. This legal action is helpful to grandparents who are caring for their grandchild temporarily.
Caregiver's Authorization Affidavit: this option is also beneficial to grandparents who are only seeking to enroll their grandchild in school and/or seek medical attention.
Adoption: this legal action will grant you full parental rights. If you decide to adopt your grandchild, your grandchild's parents no longer have any legal rights over the child. If your state offers an open adoption, your grandchild will still be able to have contact with his or her parents. Adoption can also cause you to lose certain financial aid, but you might be able to get assistance from other programs.
Legal Guardianship: parents still hold some rights with this option, and your grandchild's parents can ask a judge to end the guardianship at anytime. A legal guardianship can serve as a legal measure to help balance power between yourself and the grandchild's parents.
Legal custody: this custody is granted by the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court, and you may be eligible for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families among other types of aid. Full custody is also granted if the parents are abusive, terminally ill, dead, or incarcerated. If your grandchild's parents are still alive, they can still try to regain custody of their child.
Formal Kinship: you can raise your grandchild through the foster care system with a formal kinship. The state might provide you with some financial assistance, but the state will retain legal custody of your grandchild, meaning they can remove your grandchild from your care at any time.
Navigating your way through the legal system can be stressful. Make sure to preserve your health and manage your stress safely since you'll be caring for your grandchild.

Worcester coach Richard Hill has rung the changes for his side's clash with the Exeter Chiefs at Sandy Park on Saturday.
Worcester coach Richard Hill has rung the changes for his side's clash with the Exeter Chiefs on Saturday.
Hill has made a total of five changes to the team that defeated Sale Sharks 23-16 on home soil last week.
In the front row, hooker Ed Shervington and prop Ceri Jones are both handed their first starts of the league campaign.
Elsewhere in the pack, Dean Schofield returns to captain the team in the second row while Chris Jones is rewarded for his good form off the bench last time out with a starting berth at the back of the scrum.
There is one change in the back division where dynamic wing Josh Drauniniu makes a welcome return to action. Drauniniu will face his former club alongside centre Josh Matavesi who also makes a first appearance.
Matt Mullan is named among the replacements after spending time in the England training camp this week.
"It's a fantastic opportunity for us to climb the table at Exeter. They're one point ahead of us in the league but it will be a very tough match. I'm a big admirer of what they have achieved and the club," said Hill.
"In their last two Aviva Premiership home games they've beaten Harlequins and Saracens so they're not very easy to beat at Sandy Park. We know how tough a game it will be for us.
"They've lost their last three games in all competitions though so one or two doubts might start to creep in their heads. They'll be thinking they've got to beat us and they'll have a bit of pressure on them so we've got to try and capitalise on any uncertainty."
The Chiefs came up short against Bath last week and are looking to arrest a slide that has seen them lose their last three encounters. Despite the poor run of form, assistant coach Ali Hepher insists that it's not all doom and gloom for Exeter.
"Mentally I don't think we were quite there in that first half last week," admitted Hepher.
"However, it showed in the second half, when we were on our game, that we can cause sides a lot of trouble. You could argue we could – and possibly should – have scored more tries in that second half, but generally we were pleased with that performance and with the way we have been performing recently.
"Now we hope to have a continuation of that this weekend in what we know will be another tough game against Worcester. All week we've emphasised to the guys that they need to turn up in the right frame of mind to get anything out of the game. As always we've tweaked parts of our game based on the opposition, but the main aim will be for us to continue making Sandy Park a tough place to come and play and making sure our mental approach is right coming into the game."
The dangerous Sireli Naqelevuki returns to the Exeter line-up in place of the injured Jason Shoemark in one of four changes to the team that lost to Bath.
The three further changes are all in the pack with Chris Whitehead replacing Simon Alcott at hooker while Aly Muldowney joins skipper Tom Hayes in the second row. With Tom Johnson on international duty, Dean Mumm switches to the flank.
Form: Exeter Chiefs have suffered three successive defeats in all competitions. The Chiefs are the only side who remain with a 100% home winning record in Aviva Premiership Rugby this season. Worcester Warriors have won their last three games in all competitions. The Warriors have won just once on the road in the Premiership since April 2009: 6-0 at London Wasps on New Year's Day 2012. Exeter have taken both previous Premiership encounters between the two clubs, whilst Worcester's last win over Exeter was 25-14 at the County Ground in National One on 20 March 2004.
The teams:
Exeter Chiefs: 15 Luke Arscott, 14 Gonzalo Camacho, 13 Sireli Naqelevuki, 12 Phil Dollman, 11 Matt Jess, 10 Gareth Steenson, 9 Haydn Thomas,8 Richard Baxter, 7 James Scaysbrook, 6 Dean Mumm, 5 Aly Muldowney, 4 Tom Hayes (capt), 3 Carl Rimmer, 2 Chris Whitehead, 1 Brett Sturgess.
Replacements: 16 Neil Clark,17 Ben Moon, 18 Chris Budgen, 19 James Hanks, 20 Dave Ewers, 21 Kevin Barrett, 22 Ignacio Mieres, 23 Ian Whitten.
Worcester Warriors: 15 Chris Pennell, 14 Josh Drauniniu, 13 Alex Grove, 12 Josh Matavesi, 11 David Lemi, 10 Andy Goode, 9 Paul Hodgson, 8 Chris Jones, 7 Matt Kvesic, 6 Sam Betty, 5 Dean Schofield (c), 4 James Percival, 3 John Andress, 2 Ed Shervington, 1 Ceri Jones.
Replacements: 16 Aleki Lutui, 17 Matt Mullan, 18 James Currie, 19 Craig Gillies, 20 Semisi Taulava, 21 Jonny Arr, 22 Joe Carlisle, 23 Ravai Fatiaki.
Date:Saturday, November 3
Venue: Sandy Park

The Leafs fan who got KO'd in Boston
Steve Dangle
May 06 2013 02:35AM
After the Leafs' Game 2 victory over the Boston Bruins, a video began to make the rounds of a Leafs fan lying unconscious in the TD Garden. Witnesses said he had been assaulted by an angry Bruins fan (who ran off and has not been found), and taken to hospital. The video now has well over 45,000 views.
As more information came out, the victim's identity became public. His name is Kyle Hay, and it turns out that he is a friend of a friend of mine, Bryan Barton. Byran happened to be there with him, as well. I got in contact with both of them late Sunday night. Many people have been asking about the exact details of the incident, so here's what they had to say.
"The game was amazing," said Bryan, friend of the victim. "The people in the row behind us were really cool. They chatted with us the whole time and didn't give us any trouble, however several people were thrown out in rows further above us for throwing things at us and heckling non-stop. Also, washrooms were tough to visit at Intermission as well, but nothing that you wouldn't expect, I'd say."
It was after the game however where taunting turned into assault.
"After the game I was blind-sided with a sucker punch while I had my mask on," Kyle, who was also celebrating his birthday, explained. "Honestly, I do not remember what happened."
Obviously Kyle does not remember being knocked out, so he needed his friends to fill him in. Bryan helps there.
"Our buddy Patrick was the only one to see what actually happened and was with him the entire time afterwards. You can see him in the video. We came down the same stairs about two minutes later and that's when we realized what had happened. "
Comments on the YouTube video and on other forums suggest that maybe Kyle and his friends were antagonizing Bruins fans after the game, and perhaps "had it coming." Kyle says that's not true.
"There was no chirping going on when it happened. Just a pissed off fan, I guess."
A scrap at a sporting event, especially a hockey game, probably doesn't seem that out of the ordinary. Kyle's injuries were fairly severe however, as he explains.
"I had a cat scan done, I got three staples in the back of my head, swollen cheek, cut the inside my mouth, and concussed. I don't remember the end of the game because of it."
Bryan and company had to get Kyle medical attention, so they waited for an ambulance.
"There were all the boys (6 of us) with him, as well as the paramedics and a few members of security from the arena, who were not very helpful at all," Bryan recalled. "One of the boys went to the hospital with him in the ambulance, and the rest of us walked there. It was only about a mile away. We waited in the waiting room until about 2am when they released him. To be honest, we have no idea what he's going to be looking at in terms of the hospital bill. One could only assume it will be expensive though because he had to take an ambulance, have a cat scan done, as well as have the staples put into his head."
"We are really trying to get him tickets for Game 3 or 4 at the very least. It would be unreal because his birthday was ruined."
Kyle is awaiting his medical bill from the ordeal and says he does not know how much it will be. Now back home in Ontario, he went to Oshawa General Hospital on Sunday for a checkup.
Based on his tweet after realizing many fans were talking about his story, it appears Kyle's sense of humor is intact.
Thanks to everyone for the b day love and asking if I'm ok just want to apologize to leafs nation for wearing a leaf jersey while getting ko— kyle hay (@kylehay21) May 5, 2013
Some might still be suspicious that Kyle or his friends instigated their own attack. One user on Reddit however, claims to have sat near Kyle and his group, and that they did no such thing.
Kyle doesn't know what his medical bill will be, but I would really like to find a way to get it paid for. Having to pay for being the victim of an unprovoked attack doesn't sit right.
Many are pushing for Kyle to get tickets to a Leafs home playoff game, including our buddies over at pensionplanpuppets.com.
Hey @mapleleafs big fan @kylehay21 got staples in his face after getting beaten up at the game last night. Should hook him up with tix.— Chemmy (@felixpotvin) May 5, 2013
Hey @mapleleafs, @kylehay21 got knocked out on his birthday for cheering the buds in Boston. Game 3 tickets would be a good birthday present— Pension Plan Puppets (@mlse) May 5, 2013
@kylehay21 goes down to Boston to support @mapleleafs on his bday, gets KOed by a @nhlbruins fan. I think some tix are in order guys #stepup— Kristen Hannah (@Kristen_Hannah) May 5, 2013
Really sucks to hear, I was at this game and had a few people get kicked out for something similar near where I was sitting. Gives the rest of us Bruins fans a bad name. Glad to hear that he ended up getting those tickets, hope he has a much better time, this time around.
I like how there is NO mention about the Bruins fans that did help you while everyone else just stood around. I was the one that made sure you were breathing and had a pulse when your eyes were rolled back in your head and you were completely unresponsive. We came around the corner and saw you laying there on the ground with people either walking by or just staring at you. You said it isnt true that you were antagonizing fans, "There was no chirping going on when it happened. Just a pissed off fan, I guess." However I was standing there before you went into the stairwell and watched you and your friend argue with two other Bruins fans. I am in no way saying you deserved this in any way, but don't say that you didn't do anything. I didnt see you get punched so possibly at the time you were hit you werent doing anything. But part of me finds it hard to believe after watching you and your friend yell at the Bruins fan that you wanted to take it outside before security told you to keep it moving and go home. I am disgusted with the Bruins fans that did this to you. I hate that you and your friends had to spend your time in Boston like this. I am glad to know that ultimately you are okay. But it would be nice if you at least acknowledged those Bruins fans that did stop and help you.
i personally think he should be given free season tickets next year .....and on a side note i hope boston fans get the same amount of respect when they play in toronto
May 10 2013, 05:09PM
sorry about getting clobbered. i haven't seen shanahan's video yet but it's gonna be a 2 game suspension.
… the good news, there are a LOT of really good doctors near the rink, so, uhm, hope you're ok.

James Ervin Fish, 70, of Great Mills, Md. died at his home on Dec. 26, 2012, with his loving family at his side.
Born May 15, 1942 in Castle Dale, Utah he is the son of the late John Fish, Jr. and Edna (Hardy) Fish.

Chapter 7 is on the way. :3
I read a book last week which I loved, and it reminded me so much of Ao No Excorcist. It was fantastic! ^^

Ireland produced a brilliant first-half display to clinch the opening fixture of the Six Nations with a 30-22 win over Wales in Cardiff.
Ireland produced a brilliant first-half display to clinch the opening fixture of the Six Nations with a 30-22 win over Wales in Cardiff.
A dire performance from Wales in the opening 40 minutes left them with a mountain to climb in the second-half, at which they threw everything to bounce back from a 30-3 scoreline to 30-22 in an utterly dominant half.
Ireland appeared to mentally crumble under the depth of their 27-point lead, producing brilliant defence at times but unable to escape their own half as Wales pounded away at the visitors try line, falling short of cutting down the whole deficit in a classic.
Superb hands from Brian O'Driscoll built the opening opportunity for Simon Zebo to touchdown in the left hand corner for the first score of the afternoon, with Jonathan Sexton converting.
Sexton's control with the boot and sharp hands from the Irish backs kept Wales pinned back and after a set of punishing phases, Ireland were held up in the right-hand corner. Wales held out from the resulting phase of play and Sexton settled for a penalty to stretch the lead to 10-0.
Best then charged down Biggar's kick before gathering the loose ball and sending the ball wide first to Heaslip before an audacious bit of skill from Zebo saw him use his feet kept the attack going, Cian Healy pouncing from close range to leave Wales on the ropes.
Another Sexton penalty stretched the lead to 20-0 with half an hour gone, Wales imploding with another loose pass from Davies going straight into touch in the Irish 22. Healy's attempt to drive out of his 22 resulted in a penalty at the breakdown to Wales, with Halfpenny putting his side on the board.
Warburton's cheap block on Zebo handed Ireland another attacking lineout, with O'Brien setting the foundations for a final flourish in the first half. Another penalty against Wales at the breakdown yielded one more opportunity for Sexton, who slotted the kick to leave the half-time score at 23-3.
Ireland carried on where they left off at the start of the second half, a scrum on the Welsh 22 setting up a series of relentless drives before O'Driscoll clawed his way over the line from the bottom of a ruck for Ireland's third try.
A response from Wales was essential and it came through sustained drives forward into the Irish half, hard yards culminating in a Welsh lineout five metres out from the try line. A pre-planned move saw Toby Faletau held up narrowly short, before Alex Cuthbert found space between the rushing Irish defenders to score the first try of the afternoon for Wales.
Cuthbert's score seemed to light a fuse under Welsh backsides as they went for broke, Faletau storming down the left touchline before a crucial hand from O'Driscoll brought the surge to a halt.
A tap penalty sent Wales backwards rather than nearer to the line as the Irish defence turned desperate, Gilroy producing a memorable tackle on Halfpenny before Romain Poite sent Rory Best to the sin-bin for entering from the side.
The extra space was then capitalised on by Halfpenny, the full-back burrowing under the double tackle of Rob Kearney and Jamie Heaslip to score in the right corner, missing the conversion to make the score 30-15.
There was to be no let up in the Welsh response as Cuthbert thundered down the right wing, but breakdown defence from Healy was enough to relieve the pressure with a penalty.
A crucial Welsh scrum yielded a penalty for Biggar to find the corner once more, Ireland mentally struggling with the hosts resurgence. Faletau appeared initially to crash the ball against the base of the post, falling marginally short as Conor Murray was sent to the bin.
Wales were utterly dominant but unable to cross the Irish line, Davies missing a simple overlap as the green wall heroically held firm with time running out.
The hosts inevitably came again though – Craig Mitchell appearing to dive over the line before the TMO confirmed Wales third try of the afternoon, narrowing the score to 30-22.
Ireland finally relieved the pressure by pinning Wales deep in their own half to close out a brilliant opener to this year's tournament – a classic with each side forcing the other into submission for lengthy periods in each half. Ireland march on dreaming of a title. Wales have hope.
Man of the match: Streetwise, skilful, a magnificent return to form from Brian O'Driscoll stole the show in Cardiff.
Moment of the match: An outrageous piece of footwork from Simon Zebo to control possession in the build-up to Ireland's second try.
Villain of the match: Unnecessary petulance from Mike Phillips after being brought back from a tap penalty was needless.
The scorers:
For Wales:
Tries: Cuthbert, Halfpenny, Mitchell
Con: Halfpenny 2
Pens: Halfpenny
For Ireland:
Tries: Zebo, Healy, O'Driscoll
Cons: Sexton 3
Pens: Sexton 3

The Home Room: football and the media are explored in our latest podcast by Aaron› 16 Aug 2013
After a long summer, football is most definitely back, so what's the best way to celebrate? How about a new episode of The Home Room, Umbro's podcast exploring the world of football? Here it is - episode 3, which looks at the relationship between football and the media.
That's quite a broad topic, so to give you an idea of what to expect - we headed down to London earlier this week to speak to three experts in this field, who discussed a number of things including the effect that the internet and new digital channels have had on the world of football, how clubs should act towards fans and journalists and the value of a educated, informed opinion on the game. Our guests were:
- Tony Evans - now Football Editor of The Times, Tony once played trombone and trumpet with The Farm before becoming a journalist. Also author of a book on Liverpool called Far Foreign Land, away from his day job Tony tells us that his main interests are 'drinking beer and spreading scurrilous gossip.'
- Moz Dee
- formally the managing editor of BBC 5Live and programme director of
talkSPORT, Moz oversaw the restructure of the latter that saw it become
the massive success it is today with audiences of over 3 million people.
He is now the man behind CONTENTed Digital Media, a company that creates original sport content and who have worked with clubs such as Real Madrid.
- Greg Johnson - editor of The False Nine
football blog, an analytical and satirical look at the world of
football, Greg also writes for a number of other websites such as Drowned In Sound.
Years ago Greg's MCFC-supporting dad made the mistake of taking him to
Old Trafford, and the young man became a Manchester United fan from that
day forward.

Department Chair
Exercise Science & Sport Studies
The Exercise Science and Sport Studies curriculum provides students the opportunity to explore the topics related to exercise, sport, and physical health from a variety of perspectives.
Graduates of the Exercise Science and Sport Studies program continue their education in graduate school and/or go on to work in a variety of health, fitness, or sport fields. Meet our graduates.
Contact Janna LaFountaine [email protected]
Listen to Professor Mary Stenson talk about the highlights of the Exercise Science and Sport Studies department in this brief video introduction.
Exercise and physical activity are a cornerstone of healthy living. The Exercise Science and Sport Studies (ESSS) department is interdisciplinary by design, combining the science of human movement and exercise with social science and practical experience. At CSB/SJU, ESSS students extensively study the physiology of exercise, anatomy, the biomechanics of movement, and the practical and theoretical aspects of sport.
The ESSS minor appeals to students interested in a variety of health professions, graduate study in exercise physiology, physical therapy, cardiac and respiratory rehab, strength and conditioning, sports medicine, and coaching. ESSS students take advantage of our Exercise Science lab by incorporating hands-on experiences and research into ESSS courses. The ESSS faculty are passionate about their fields of study and committed to helping their students become competent and competitive health and exercise professionals.
View recent news in Exercise Science and Sport Studies
The ESSS department coordinates an exchange program with Coventry University located in central United Kingdom. The main purpose behind this semester long program is to connect students with an interest in Sports or Event Management with an international experience. While our students will be going to the United Kingdom in the spring of 2014, CSB/SJU will be welcoming the first 6 students from Coventry University this fall. All of the Coventry students are Sports or Event Management majors entering their second year of college. While here for the semester, the students will be fully integrated into our campus by living on campus and taking a full load of classes. In addition to the coursework, the students will participate in an internship to get pre-professional experience in the field of sport or event management. This experience will allow students to apply classroom theories into real world applications.
For more information, contact Janna LaFountaine at [email protected].
Mark is currently attending the University of Wisconsin- La Crosse studying in the Human Performance program, with research areas of interest of strength and conditioning, bioenergetics, and muscle physiology. Read more.

Skip to comments.Word for the Day, FRiday, April 5, 2013 - Trustafarian
Posted on 04/05/2013 5:43:02 AM PDT by tioga
In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of Word for the Day.
[from trust (fund) + (Rast)afarian]
Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.
The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.
The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)
Practice makes perfect.....post on....

Review Thread Three: Word For The Day, Tuesday 1/28/03: Obdurate
Up and at it, the sun is shining....a rare sight indeed in the North East! Class is on.....have your homework ready.
Trustafarian or trutafarian?
I'm assuming its the one with the "s"
Good morning. How are you holding up?
oh, shoot. Opening late and failed to proof read again. It IS trustafarian with the s. Thanks.
Fortune Cookie sez
Obama, the erstwhile trustafarian
His grasp of the law is just barbarian
New Black Panthers in Philly?
Dismiss them; it's silly
Let my people go, must bust an Aryan
TrutafarianShallSetYouFree is my conservative, bong-smoking, reggae-playing cousin in Jamaica.
They don't want to bust us, they want to own us. A+++
LMAO A+++ again.
And if you add the "metro" component more common among this group, you get a Trustafairyan
This describes a good portion of my town. Spoiled brat trust fund babies. And those are the parents.
The political education of Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton began as a young man at Yale where he was radicalized. The zealous trustafarian then began tapping his vast un-earned wealth for purchasing political power for the ultimate goal of foisting socialism on the citizens of Minnesota.
Perfect. A+++
We have one of those. A+++
What a waste of good money. A+++
Sounds like it has something to do with the estate of the late Bob Marley...
The clueless trustafarians
Who voted for emperor Obama
Were hoping to escape notice
Or becoming part of the drama
That didn't last very long-
And isn't it just too funny-
That as they were celebrating
He came after their money
Even now, that was not enough-
So how do those elitists feel
To hear he wants yet another bite
After promising not to steal?
It is mostly cloudy and 63, and I'm waiting to hear from my contractor compadre to call with the results on a bid he did-I don't think it is going anywhere-there is something oily about the customer-but hope springs eternal and we need the work badly...
Midget girl came into season-the vet didn't think she would, because she is well over a year old, and had not. Apparently, her stunted growth affected her hormonal balance. She is otherwise healthy, so my vet agreed to spay her this morning-she is just big enough, and won't get any bigger.
For such a little cat, she is nasty when you try to put her into a carrier-she was absolutely terrified. Titus is actually looking for her, and eyeing me with suspicion, but Yeti boy acts like he is glad she is not here. I'll go get her later this afternoon-she will likely get over her scare as soon as she is back, sitting on my chair-she is as much a self-propelled lap ornament as Titus is.
That's the CD I have going in the car whenever we go to the beach.
It seems to fit the way they invite themselves onto whatever chair I'm sitting on-at the computer, watching TV, etc-they get comfortable and stay there for hours, purring away and watching the commercials and shows with animals. All three of them come to bed when I do, and sleep there most of the night, too.
Aww....poor kitty. I hope she has no complications being so little.
Thanks-the vet's office just called, and Midget girl is doing just fine-they said she is starting to wake up, so I'll go get her in 15 minutes of so. The vet says there is no way she would have survived pregnancy-she is too tiny, and would have died.
If she knew what a short and brutal life she would have had in the forest as a feral cat, hunting her food and trying to keep it away from the normal sized cats out there, ending up as a snack for the mountain lion or a big raccoon, she wouldn't think this vet visit was so awful...
She'll just be glad to see you come back for her.
I prefer "no woman no cry".
I shot the sheriff
but I did not shoot the deputy
Apparently, drugs make Midget girl paranoid-as soon as I got her home and let her out of the carrier, she hurried around on tiptoes, looking over her shoulder like she was on a covert mission, peeking carefully out of each window, and into each room before moving on to the next one.
She finally quit and came running when I put out fresh food all four pets, and after she ate, she started to chill-by the time I sat down to watch TV at about 6:30, she was on a fleece throw on my lap, purring and sleeping.
Sounds like she was using catnip. LOL.
Hah! My 1st husband's best friend from college would go into paranoia after just a couple of tokes of weed-he acted very much like the cat did, and it was hilarious.
The Midget was operating under the waning influence of whatever anesthetic she was given when she was spayed yesterday.
I may have to go to Colorado to test whether the paranoia is inherent to the drug itself or its illegality.
I've found that those who get that way when they smoke are paranoid to begin with-weed just ramps it up. By all means, run a few tests to see if the theory holds-can you get a research grant for that?
Remember the old Cosby skit where he talked about being encouraged to try cocaine at a Hollywood party? He asked that person what coke would do for him that was good, and the guy said well, it enhances your personality-to which Cosby replied but what if I'm an ass****?
I believe that was Robin Williams.
Williams mat have done it, too-but I first saw it in the early 80's on a cable comedy special with Cosby-my husband recorded it because he liked it so much.
Williams "may"...
Where is everybody?

Beyonce's new 'Bow Down' song is stirring up a debate.
Leave it to Rush Limbaugh to rile up listeners about Beyoncé's new single, Bow Down.
On his Wednesday radio show, after reading a story in The Telegraph, he noted that the song seems to be encouraging women to be subservient to their spouses.
More: Beyonce stars in H&M summer campaign
"She's got a new song," he said of Beyoncé.
"Can I say it? It's on the popular charts. Bow Down, Bitches is the new tune. A total 180. Beyoncé's now saying, 'Go ahead and put up with it,' and you know why? I'll tell you why. Because she got married. She's married to rich guy. She's even calling herself 'Mrs. Carter' on the tour. She has shelved 'Beyoncé.' "
Today Limbaugh is finding the whole thing funny, and making it political, throwing it back onto liberals.
"I made up nothing. I didn't create a phrase. I didn't create the title of a song. I just read what was in this U.K. story," he said Thursday. "So in essence what I did, I held up a mirror to the left, and they saw themselves, and now they're attacking me for doing this. It was a little throw-away portion of the program yesterday, and yet it's all over the place what I think of Beyoncé's latest album, CD, tour, single, what have you. It's hilarious."
Limbaugh, however, isn't the only one questioning the "bow down" concept. Singer Keyshia Cole stirred things up on Twitter a few days ago when she wrote, "First 'Women need to Stick together' now bitches better Bow." She added, "Smh," which means shaking my head.
The lyrics of Beyoncé's song: "I know when you were little girls / You dreamt of being in my world / Don't forget it, don't forget it / Respect that, bow down bitches / I took some time to live my life / But don't think I'm just his little wife / Don't get it twisted, get it twisted."

Abracadabra: the magic in conservation
Children's Gallery 28 July – 26 November 2006
Go to NGA conservation website
Manolo Blahnik 'Giacinto, pair of woman's shoes' Autumn-Winter 1992-93, gift of Lons and Ron Ramsey
Conservators at the National Gallery of Australia usually practise their magic on works of art behind the scenes. Some of their secrets will be revealed through Abracadabra: the magic in conservation which opens in the Children's Gallery on Friday 28 July.
The exhibition demystifies the manufacture and conservation of art and is designed around works from the collection with strong appeal for children. Techniques used by conservators to reveal hidden information are presented using games, puzzles and interactive technology to allow children to make their own discoveries about the art on display.
Techniques featured in the exhibition include x-radiography, used in conservation to reveal the internal components of works of art, and infrared reflectography which captures evidence of pencil or charcoal beneath layers of paint and varnish. Visitors will see the dramatic effects of ultraviolet light on certain materials and magnified detail provides fascinating images of material structure.
Abracadabra provides a unique experience for children and their families to look at works of art and cast their eyes beyond the surface. The exhibition coincides with National Science Week in August and is supported by a program of activities including specialised workshops for children during the October school holidays.
The Children's Gallery is dedicated to exhibitions drawn from the national collection, aimed at maximising the enjoyment and enrichment of a visiting child's experience. These exhibitions encourage and challenge children to be engaged and stimulated by art and are supported by a range of interactive activities.
Abracadabra: the magic in conservation is curated by National Gallery conservators Jaishree Srinivasan, Fiona Kemp, Stefanie Woodruff and Sheridan Roberts.

Protecting summer flowers from frostbite
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - If you're a flower gardener you may be worried this cold snap could hurt your flowers.
We checked with Evergreen Home and Garden in Kingsport and learned annual flowers like begonias, gardenias, and impatiens are most at risk.
We learned bringing potted plants indoors and covering your flowers are the best ways to protect from the frost. "You could use straw to cover them, you could use sheets, anything you have in your house that could offer a little protection. Chances of it getting cold and staying cold for a long period of time is slim," said manager Betty Moore.
Evergreen employees say covering plants with plastic is a bad idea because it actually draws in cold temperatures.
We also learned perennials, roses, and shrubs can stand the cold and should be in good shape Friday night.

Tuesday's Video Pick | Jesus Christ Superstar
September 22, 2009 · Print This Article
This week's pick is inspired by C-Monster's End of summer at PS1 in NYC post. I must confess, I love musicals and when I saw a photo of of the Jesus Christ Superstar album I knew it had to make it's way onto the picks. I don't think anyone can deny Carl Anderson's talent as Judas. Ugh, such a guilty pleasure.
