Emery traveled to Union last Friday night to play their final preseason football game and came home with a 46-20 victory over the host Union Cougars. Emery now will start region 12 action with the Richfield Wildcats coming to town this Friday night in Emery's homecoming game.
In this game, Emery had possession of the ball 11 times and scored on seven of those possessions. On the other four possessions, Emery punted once, fumbled the ball into the end zone once after an 83-yard drive, had time run out at the end of the first half when Emery was at the Union 2-yard line and the final possession of the game when Emery ran the clock out.
Tanner Procarione scored Emery's first touchdown of the evening on a 15-yard reception from quarterback Derek Tuttle as Emery wrapped up a 54-yard drive. Tuttle and Procarione also connected on a 30-yard pass in the drive.
Corey Hansen, a fullback, scored the Spartans second touchdown on a 1-yard run up the middle culminating a 72-yard drive. Two passes to wide receiver Cody Jones were the big plays in the drive, one for 18 yards and the other for 20 yards.
Dusty Jensen scored from 38 yards out on Emery's next possession on a Tuttle pass to put Emery up 20-7. This was the score at the half.
Emery punted on their first possession of the second half and then scored on their next two possessions. Tuttle hit running back JT Noyes for a 13-yard touchdown as Emery went up 26-7. The big play in the series was a 16-yard reception by Hansen.
Joey Stream caught a pass on Emery's next series and ran it in from 41 yards out to score his first touchdown of the season.
Emery marched 83 yards on their next possession but was called for fumbling into the end zone even though it appeared that Emery had clearly scored.
Emery then scored on short drives as Hansen scored his second touchdown on a 2-yard run and then when the second offense took over Jade Fielder scored on the next possession on a 22-yard run on a hand-off from quarterback Nick Stoddard.
After amassing more than 400 yards on the ground last week, Emery did most of the damage this week through the air. Tuttle was 11 for 20 in passing for 226 yards and four touchdowns. Cody Jones completed one pass for 18 yards. Those four touchdowns were to four different receivers.
Union's defense was out to stop the run but left themselves vulnerable to the pass. Emery ran the ball 27 times for only 159 yards but for three touchdowns. Emery had 403 yards of total offense in the game.
Emery's defense also continued to play well. On the first scoring drive of the evening by Union, it appeared that the Spartans had stopped Union three times with recovered fumbles but each time the ball was given back to Union because the officials had blown the ball dead or something like that. At least once, Union had never gained possession.
Union picked up 2 yards in their first series, 0 yards in their second series and 2 yards in their third series as the Spartans stopped every thing the Cougars tried and wanted to do. This was their first half drives.
Emery plays a 4-4 defense with four down linemen, four linebackers and three defensive backs. As a unit, they have played well this season in limiting their opponents to fewer than 200 yards a game of offense. Emery plays well as a unit. The homecoming game starts at 7 p.m. this Friday night.

Has a City Turned on its Young Star?
Nation World HQ
January 22 2012 08:01AM
Evander Kane is a gifted hockey player. No question about it, he can play. He's 6-foot-2, 200 pounds and can skate and score. When he comes flying down the wing, he reminds some of the old-timers of Bobby Hull. He's considered by most NHL scouts as a 20-year-old with a tremendous future.
These days he's the Jets leading goal scorer with 18 and the second-leading scorer with 31 points. But he's now in a dreadful slump -- he hasn't scored a goal in 10 games, has only two points in the last 10 and is minus-eight.
He's also developing a horrible reputation and whether that's fair or not probably doesn't matter. Somehow, in a city that has embraced its hockey team with an enthusiasm never seen before in Winnipeg -- perhaps never seen in this country -- one player has upset the fans so completely that he's now the butt of jokes, the source of rumours and the target of large, homemade signs of derision.
His problem would appear to be the fact he's a big-city, 21st Century athlete in a small town that has never warmed to athletes who (a) need to be paid for just about everything they do and (b) carry themselves as bigger, richer and more important than other members of the community.
Still, it's shocking that in a city that is so madly in love with its hockey team that almost everyone in town has at least one piece of Jets gear and where tickets sold out in minutes and Jets licence plates sold out in hours, that one player could bring out so much anger.
It probably started when his (NOTE, two hours later new information: "business manager," and not his) agent, Craig Oster, went to local restaurants and bars with a business plan: for money, young Evander would tweet that a bunch of Jets were at a particular watering hole in order to draw fans to the establishment -- even if they weren't there at all.
Then Kane, who is no different than any other 20-year-old -- he likes the occasional party at a downtown saloon -- ended up on thedirty.com, a social stigma website that pays tribute to those who act like douchenozzles in public places. Ouch.
Then came Saturday night.
The media was told on Saturday that Kane had suffered a concussion. The team wasn't sure when the young player became concussed, but head coach Claude Noel said that Kane had come forward on Friday to say he wasn't feeling well and later in the day, the team determined that it was a concussion.
That didn't stop the fans from going nuts on Twitter, Facebook and at the rink. More than one person was convinced that Kane had been involved in an altercation Thursday night after the win over Buffalo at a Winnipeg bar called Whiskey Dix. In fact, Whiskey Dix got more tweets on Saturday that it ever would have, had it (and it may have) paid Kane for the service.
Whether it was true or not didn't matter. The damage was done.
Meanwhile, at the rink this past week, Kane became the butt of an embarrassing sign. It read: "Dear Evander: Please stop walking out on your bills. Sincerely, Winnipeg servers and restauranteurs (sic)."
A local Winnipeg newspaper columnist called a couple of local restaurants (two to be precise), and defended Kane from the nasty implications, but what all this suggests is that somehow, some way, in a small prairie city that actually worships its professional hockey players, one of those players has angered enough people to become much less than worshipped.
Now let's not take this too far. Kane was paid to sign autographs at a local auto dealership a month ago and fans who came just moments late had to wait in line for more than an hour. The name "Kane" is still on plenty of Jets jerseys in the crowd. This might be just a bump in the road to hockey immortality.
But for a kid who wanted a trade early in the season, has responded with improved play to two benchings and has been the most explosive offensive force on a team that can't score, this just might be another wake-up call.
Because when you've pissed off a fan base that wants to love you as much as their own family members, you're probably doing something wrong.
He's trouble waiting to happen trade him for someone proven like Selanne and a first round draft pick. We have no accomplished vets to slap him and tell him he's nothing special and he will end up like theo fleury did.. in bad news and forced into retirement. but at 20 with no cup, accomplishments, or respect! OR Send him to the Minors for the rest of his days as a Jet, we don't need him! If your always on the power play then chances are you will get some points. Your not producing, and causing trouble.. and I say Sir you are making a mockery of our Hockey Team and City!
"But for a kid who wanted a trade early in the season..."
(Edited by Wanye) It's garbage and not true.
"Winnipeg hates black people" is a more likely explanation.
Kane wanting a trade was also a stupid internet rumour, reaffirming that flies in the face of your article. I agree with the rest.
Hey "Steve",
Winnipeg happens to be a quite culturally diverse community; it hates no one.
Moving on to the article, it states in error that it was Kane's agent Oster that was promoting the cash for tweets deal, when it was in fact Kane's "business manager" Jeffrey Uppal that did so. I'm guessing that Craig Oster wouldn't like to see this behavior attributed to him, given that it wasn't him.
Thanks, I hope the kid quits twitter and matures. Man if I was 20 and making a few million a year this city would be turned upside down.
"enthusiasm perhaps never before seen in this country"??? Are you kidding me? Are you aware of the Oilers and Canadiens history
This is the dude who spread all the Kane rumours and started all the fuss apologizing: http://m.facebook.com/sharp.grant?v=feed&refid=0
How many restaurants did you call. Oh none...because there is no story.
Kane has not pissed off the fan base. He pissed off some girl he didn't want to have sex with and the boyfriend who almost got cheated on.

About the only bad thing I can think of is he doesn't like the winter. It's nice to have a rink in your own back yard like Gretz did, no?
I thought Burmistrov was future of team but clearly Kane has the hands. Would like to call you on Bobby Hull comparison. Crosby glid around two D and roofed it 1st game back. I've seen Kane try it a few times; is almost big enough to be a power forward. The only Bobby Hull I've seen so far is from '76 box set. Toews does that move the smoothest but Crosby has softer hands. Washington and Pittsburgh are all banged up and Fla GM said is a rebuilding year; should be in playoffs.

Go Scott Go! Best sports writer ... Still. All that and just 2 fingers.
I have edited some of these comments. We all have the right to speak our minds here but let's keep it away from personal stuff. If you disagree holla at me @wanyegretz

All these rumors about Kane had got me thinking "I wonder what he was like in Atlanta with the Thrashers organization?"
Atlanta resident "Hildymac" provided some insight that I had been seeking:
"Here in ATL, no one cared what he did, both on or off of the ice. The coaches were terrible at accountability, the party scene was great and the guys were pretty much unknowns outside of the fanbase. Factor in nearly no press coverage, and you have the perfect environment for a young guy to basically do whatever.
Regardless of if Kane's walked out on tabs or been a douchenozzle in public or not, he needs to adjust to the spotlight if he wants to be successful in Winnipeg."
source: http://ca.sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/evander-kane-vs-haters-winnipeg-restaurant-controversy-maturity-171010484.html
I see this in a very favorable light. In other words, Kane was free to do as he pleased in Atlanta, without supervision. It seems management simply did not care. You are also talking about a metro area with over 5,000,000 people that could not care less about the NHL, and a media who would not consider antics of Thrasher players "Newsworthy."
Going to Winnipeg may be a huge blessing in disguise, as he is only 20, and has plenty of time to adjust to the fact that he cannot get away with things off-ice activities the Thrashers had partaken in. Hopefully it will mold him into a respectable member of the community.

You must be joking. Should the Jets (Version 1.0) traded Keith Tkachuk for a first round draft pick, even though he had a reputation at the time as well? Should the Oilers trade Taylor Hall away, even though he pretty much has the exact same reputation in Edmonton?
The Calgary Flames dealt Dion Phaneuf away to Toronto, and rumor has it that his antics off ice and in the dressing room were a contributing factor. I wonder how well that trade worked out for them?

The information in this web site is an update of the Route Log and Finder List for the Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways, commonly known as the Interstate System. This provides a simple means for locating routes by number or to find which routes serve each State and its larger cities and major metropolitan areas. It shows the total mileage of each route in each State and includes those that were constructed with the aid of Federal funds and those that were added per the States' requests and approved by the Federal Highway Administrator as logical additions or connections to the Interstate System after upgrading to Interstate design and construction standards (except for Alaska and Puerto Rico).
The Route Log and Finder List is composed of a brief discussion of the history of the Interstate System, how the routes and interchanges are numbered, the status of the System As of December 31, 2016, and other relevant information about the System, and four Tables, as follows:
The origins of what is now called the Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways, commonly known as the Interstate System, are a series of studies on the need for transcontinental highways. The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1938 called on the Bureau of Public Roads (BPR), the predecessor of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), to study the feasibility of a toll-financed system of three east-west and three north-south superhighways. The BPR's report, Toll Roads and Free Roads, demonstrated that a toll network would not be self-supporting. Instead, the report advocated a 26,700-mile toll-free interregional highway network.
In 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed a National Interregional Highway Committee, headed by Commissioner of Public Roads Thomas H. MacDonald, to evaluate the need for a national expressway system. The Committee's January 1944 report, Interregional Highways, supported a system of 33,900 miles of rural routes, plus an additional 5,000 miles of auxiliary urban routes.
Congress acted on these recommendations in the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1944. The Act called for designation of a National System of Interstate Highways, to include up to 40, 000 miles " ..... so located, as to connect by routes, direct as practical, the principal metropolitan areas, cities, and industrial centers, to serve the National Defense, and to connect at suitable border points, routes of continental importance in the Dominion of Canada and the Republic of Mexico."
On August 2, 1947, Commissioner Thomas H. MacDonald and Federal Works Administrator Philip B. Fleming announced selection of the first 37,700 miles. The routes had been proposed by the State highway agencies and reviewed by the Department of Defense. However, neither the 1944 Act nor later legislation in the 1940's authorized funds specifically for the Interstate System. The lack of funding hindered plans for the System's construction.
Funding for the System was first authorized in the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1952, but it was only a token amount of $25 million a year for fiscal years (FY) 1954 and 1955. Legislation in 1954 authorized an additional $175 million annually for FY 1956 and 1957. It was under the leadership of President Dwight D. Eisenhower that the question of how to fund the Interstate System was resolved with the enactment of the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956. This Act served as a catalyst for the System's development and, ultimately, its completion.
Title I of the 1956 Act increased the System's length to 41,000 miles. It also called for nationwide standards for design of the System, authorized an accelerated program, established a new method for apportioning funds among the States, set the Federal Government's share of project cost at 90 percent and added the words "and Defense" to the name of the System, thereby changing the name to The National System of Interstate and Defense Highways.
Title II of the Act, entitled the Highway Revenue Act of 1956, created the Highway Trust Fund as a dedicated funding source for the Interstate System's continued construction. Revenue from the Federal gas and other motor-vehicle user taxes was credited to the Highway Trust Fund to pay the Federal share of Interstate and all other Federal-aid highway projects. In this way, the Act guaranteed construction of all segments of the System on a "pay-as-you-go" basis as revenue flowed into the Highway Trust Fund. This ensured that funds needed to construct the System would not create a deficit in the U.S. Treasury's General Fund, thus satisfying one of President Eisenhower's primary requirements that the program be self-financing.
The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956 called for uniform geometric and construction standards for the Interstate System. The standards, which have been revised periodically over the years, were developed by the State transportation departments, through the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), and adopted by the FHWA. The standards include a minimum of four 12-foot wide travel lanes, a minimum shoulder width of 10 feet, full control of access, and design speeds of 50 to 70 miles per hour (depending on the type of terrain). Initially, the design had to be adequate to meet the traffic volumes expected in 1975. Later, the requirement was changed to a more general 20-year design period rather than for a specific year to allow for evolution of the System. The design standards have been codified in Section 109(b), 23 U.S.C.
The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1968 authorized the System's expansion to 42,500 miles. An amendment sponsored by U.S. Representatives James Howard and William Cramer authorized an additional 200 miles for modification or revision of the basic System. The mileage authorized under the Howard-Cramer Amendment was increased eventually to 500 miles under the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1973.
The Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1978 provided full Interstate Construction funding for all routes designated under previous System adjustments. Another provision of this Act prohibited the use of Interstate Construction (IC) funds for the construction of any new miles designated after passage of the Act. A total of 42,795 miles had been designated for development with IC funds before this measure was enacted.
The FHWA may, at the request of a State or States, designate sections of the National Highway System (NHS) as Interstate Highway under Section 103(c)(4)(A), Title 23, United States Code (23 U.S.C.). The proposed section must:
Although Section 103(c)(4)(A) segments look like any other Interstate highway, they are not eligible for development with IC funds. In all, the FHWA has approved 3,761.92 miles of highways in the contiguous 48 States, District of Columbia, and Hawaii as Section 103(c)(4)(A) additions to the Interstate System (including additions under former Section 139(a)).
Also added to the Interstate System under Section 103(c)(4)(A) are highways in Alaska and Puerto Rico for a total of 1,331.99 miles (including additions under former Section 139(c)). Alaska and Puerto Rico are exempt from the design standards of Section 109(b). Section 103(c)(1)(B)(ii), 23 U.S.C., states: "Highways on the Interstate System in Alaska and Puerto Rico shall be designed in accordance with such geometric and construction standards as are adequate for current and probable future traffic demands and the needs of the locality of the highway."
The FHWA may also, at the request of a State or States, add highways to the Interstate System that are designated as National Highway System (NHS) high priority corridors and future parts of the Interstate System in Section 1105 of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA). The proposed section must:
Four future Interstate corridors were initially designated by the National Highway System Designation Act of 1995. Modifications and an additional 16 future Interstate corridors were designated by subsequent laws.
Future Interstate route numbers for five of the corridors are also specified by these Acts. The corridors are generally described as:
Construction and improvement of these corridors are eligible for funds under the NHS program and the Surface Transportation Program. In addition, Highway Bridge Program funds may be used to rehabilitate deficient bridges on these routes. The corridors are not eligible for IC funds.
As of December 31, 2016, 1,387.07 miles of Section 1105 future Interstate corridors in 11 states have been upgraded to Interstate standards and added to the Interstate System.
Today's Interstate System, as of December 31, 2016, is comprised of the designated mileage developed with IC funds and additions under Section 103(c)(4)(A), 23 USC and Section 1105, ISTEA, for a total of 49,072.26 miles. It serves the 48 contiguous States, Alaska, Hawaii, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. The Interstate routes in the 48 contiguous States and the District of Columbia are designated with a prefix "I" followed by a number (1 to 3 digits). Alaska has four routes, designated A1, A2, A3 and A4, Hawaii has four routes, designated H-1, H-2, H-3 and H-201, and Puerto Rico has three routes designated PRI-1, PRI-2 and PRI-3.
As of December 31, 2016, 42,787 miles, (more than 99.9 percent), of the 42,793 Interstate miles designated under former Section 103(e) were open to traffic. The segments open to traffic include 40,378 miles that are complete or essentially complete. The other 2,409 miles include 53 miles requiring major improvements to bring them to full Interstate standards, 124 miles currently under improvement or still requiring additional minor work to complete initial construction and 2,233 miles of toll roads, which, in general, were built without Federal funding. To date, 47 States have opened their total designated Interstate mileage. Only about 6 miles are not open to traffic: (1) 2.4 miles of I-90 in Massachusetts, (2) 1.7 miles of I-670 in Ohio and (3) 1.5 miles of I-95 in Pennsylvania.
Completion of the $129-billion designated mileage (42,793 miles) in the Interstate System was a cooperative Federal-State undertaking. Each State transportation department managed its own Interstate program for location, design, right-of-way acquisition, and construction of the designated mileage. The FHWA's role was one of review and approval of the projects to ensure compliance with Federal requirements. Ownership of the Interstate routes and the responsibility for their operation and maintenance, rest with each State.
Initially, all Interstate maintenance responsibility was placed on the States. However, as the System aged, a separate federally funded program, committed to preserving the System, was enacted in 1976 called the Interstate 3R (resurfacing, restoration & rehabilitation) Program. In 1981 the Interstate 3R program was expanded to a 4R program with the addition of reconstruction as an eligible item. The current program, enacted in 1991 and continued by TEA-21 is called the Interstate Maintenance Program which provides funds to the States for maintaining an acceptable level of service on the System. However, Interstate routes added under Section 103(c)(4)(A) after TEA-21 will not be eligible for the Interstate Maintenance funds.
Beginning in the 1956 Act, the System was called The National System of Interstate and Defense Highways. In honor of President Eisenhower, who helped accelerate the Interstate Construction Program, Public Law 101-427 was passed which changed the name of the System to "The Dwight D. Eisenhower System of Interstate and Defense Highways." This occurred on October 15, 1990, during the celebration of the 100th anniversary of President Eisenhower's birth. The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 modified the name to "The Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways" and this definition is codified in Sections 101(a)(13) and 103(c)(1)(A), 23 U.S.C.
AASHTO developed the procedure for numbering the Interstate routes, with Bureau of Public Roads (BPR) concurrence, in 1957. The BPR is the predecessor of the FHWA. The Interstate route marker is a red, white, and blue shield, carrying the word "Interstate, " the State name, and the route number. Major Interstate routes are designated by one- or two-digit numbers. Routes running north and south are assigned odd numbers, while east-west routes are assigned even numbers. For north-south routes, the lowest numbers begin in the west, while the lowest numbered east-west routes are in the south. Thus, Interstate Route 5 (I-5) runs along the West Coast, while I-10 lies along the southern border.
In a few cases, a major route has two parallel or diverging branches. In those cases, each branch is given the designation of the main route, followed by a letter indicating a cardinal direction of travel (east, west, etc.). In Texas, for example, I-35 splits at Hillsboro, with I-35E going through Dallas, while I-35W goes through Fort Worth. The two branches merge at Denton to reform the main route, I-35.
The major route numbers are routed through urban areas on the path of the major traffic stream. Generally, this major traffic stream will be the shortest and most direct line of travel. Connecting routes and full or partial circumferential beltways around and within urban areas carry a three-digit number. These routes are designated with the number of the main route and an even-numbered prefix. Supplemental radial and spur routes, connecting with the main route at one end, also carry a three-digit number, using the number of the main route with an odd-numbered prefix.
To avoid duplication within a State, a progression of prefixes is used for the three-digit numbers. For example, if I-80 runs through three cities in a State, circumferential routes around these cities would be numbered I-280, I-480, and I-680. The same system would be used for spur routes into the three cities, with routes being numbered I-180, I-380, and I-580. This system is not carried across State lines. As a result, two cities in different States along I-80 may each have circumferential beltways numbered I-280 or spur routes numbered I-180.
The sketch below indicates this pattern.
The States typically use one of two methods of numbering the Interstate interchanges:
In the contiguous 48 States and the District of Columbia, 62 main one- or two-digit numbered routes have been assigned. Of these, 27 are in a primarily east-west alignment and therefore carry an even number. Another 35 routes are odd-numbered because of their primarily north-south alignment. Although 261 auxiliary circumferential, spur, and radial routes are designated, only 151 three-digit numbers have been assigned. This is because three-digit numbers can be used in more than one State.The five longest Interstate routes, each more than 2,000 miles, are east-west routes. These are:
Among the 2-digit Interstate routes, the five shortest are:
The shortest Interstate route segment is I-95 in the District of Columbia which is 0.11 mile long.
The Interstate System connects 46 of the 50 State capitals, as well as the Nation's Capital, Washington, D.C. The four State capitals not directly served by the Interstate System are Juneau, Alaska; Dover, Delaware; Jefferson City, Missouri; and Pierre, South Dakota.
The oldest Interstate segments actually predate the establishment of the Interstate system. Early examples include a portion of the Grand Central Parkway in Queens, New York, which was opened to traffic in July 1936, and later was incorporated into the Interstate System as I-278. The Pennsylvania Turnpike between Irwin (southeast of Pittsburgh) and Carlisle (west of Harrisburg) was officially opened in October 1940, and is now designated as I-76 and I-70. Other freeways and toll roads were incorporated into the System under the 1956 Act, as an alternative to building new competing Interstate routes.
The route log for the Interstate System presented in this booklet was prepared to provide a simple way of locating routes by number and determining which routes serve each State and its larger cities. It is not intended to serve as a touring guide. The booklet includes the following:
Main Route Log: This log lists the one- or two-digit numbered main routes, arranged numerically. The total length of each route is shown. The net length is provided for routes that partially overlap another route and the duplicated length is assigned to the latter. The list also shows additional mileage designated under the Howard-Cramer Amendment, Section 103(c)(4)(A), 23 U.S.C. and Section 1105(e)(5)(A) of ISTEA as amended. The principal urban areas, with populations of 5,000+, served by the route are listed for each State.
Auxiliary Route Log: This log lists the three-digit numbered circumferential, belt, or loop and spur routes principally serving urban areas. The routes are listed numerically, along with the State, the mileage, and the principal city served. As explained previously, the same number may be used in several States, but cannot be duplicated within a State's borders.
Routes per State: This log lists the States alphabetically and shows all the Interstate routes for each State and their totals.
List of Major Cities Served: This list shows all the cities of more than 50,000 population (1990 Census and latest available estimates) served by the Interstate System. States are shown alphabetically, with the cities listed alphabetically within each State. For each city, the main and auxiliary routes serving that city are listed.
The routes and route numbers shown are all routes on the Interstate System As of December 31, 2016. The mileage is from the official records of the System as reported by the States and reviewed by the Federal Highway Administration.

King set for Ascot Succes
Conditions are sure to be extremely testing at Ascot for the £150,000 Ladbroke Handicap Hurdle and the winner will need to see out every yard on one of the stiffest courses in the country.
- Related Content
The horse who could have the required attributes - and at generous odds too - is Double Ross who showed himself to be a progressive hurdler (after a fall first time out this season over fences) when making all and bolting up over 2m5f in soft ground at Cheltenham's Open Meeting in November.
Again ridden positively at Haydock (2m4f soft) just six days later, Nigel Twiston-Davies's gelding was still in front 150 yards from the finish after a dashing display of pacemaking, eventually fading into fourth place behind Yesyoucan.
It's possible that the Haydock race might have come a bit too soon for Double Ross after his easy win at Cheltenham but, a month on, he should be more than refreshed and will have conditions very much to suit here. I can recall seeing him win at Folkestone last season when the ground was bottomless.
On quicker ground, the drop to two miles would be a concern but his fine third behind Red Merlin in the Swinton Hurdle over the trip at Haydock (soft) in May suggests that the trip on this deep surface and on this stiffer course will not be a problem.
At a best early price of around 20/1, I reckon Double Ross looks great value.
A week on from the four-year-old Unioniste's victory in the big chase at Cheltenham, there are various Ladbroke candidates in the same age group - notably Balder Succes, Ranjaan and Lyvius.
Balder Succes, already twice a course winner, could well be Champion Hurdle material and has run well on both starts this season, easily beating the tough Hollow Tree at Haydock after a reappearance third behind last week's Stan James International winner Zarkandar at Wincanton.
A strong traveller who acts well in soft ground, Alan King's charge seems bound to go close in a race his trainer won 12 months ago with Raya Star.
Both Ranjaan and Lyvius are open to improvement; the former is said to have grown a great deal since scoring twice last season while the latter settled better than in the past when winning at Newbury last month.
Given that these two horses are trained by Paul Nicholls and Nicky Henderson respectively - the two trainers who, between them, have cleaned up every big Saturday race so far this season - then they just have to be respected.
Henderson is also represented by the top-weighted Petit Robin (closely matched with Into Wain on recent Sandown form), Cash And Go (second to Olofi - with Cause Of Causes third, Bothy fourth, Rattan sixth and Kazlian unplaced - in the Greatwood at Cheltenham) and First In The Queue who is 10lb better off for a narrow beating by Petit Robin here last time.
All of the above are possible contenders along with Jonjo O'Neill's It's A Gimme, a good second behind Raya Star over the course and distance in early November and the mount of Tony McCoy, but, in a typically competitive renewal, there are many with chances.
However, for me, the potential star performer in the line-up is Balder Succes and the horse who could thrive under the conditions (and looks value) is Double Ross.
Earlier, in the absence of the sadly injured Big Buck's, the Long Walk Hurdle has drawn a somewhat uninspiring field.
On his best form, which includes a creditable third behind the champion staying hurdler in the World Hurdle at Cheltenham in March, Smad Place should be good enough to account for the progressive Haydock winner Trustan Times (who now steps up in class).
However, Alan King's grey was none too fluent on his reappearance at Wetherby before finishing a well-beaten third behind Tidal Bay and will need to sharpen up his act in that department. Perhaps a watching brief is the best advice.

Saturday, August 11, 2007, has been set for dedication of the restored "The History of Transportation" mural in the new Grevillea Art Park at the corner of Manchester Boulevard and Grevillea Avenue. Scheduled to begin at 2:00 p.m., the dedication of this historic landmark will mark the completion of a five-year restoration and relocation project.
The August 11th dedication is being planned by the Historic Site Preservation Committee and the City's Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department. Many individuals and agencies worked together to make the restoration happen and raised more than one million dollars from foundations, grants and private donations to complete the work.
The ceremonies will begin with a blessing of the new mural location by Native American Linda Gonzales and comments by elected officials and special guests. Following the unveiling of the historic mural, entertainment will include a dance performance by members of Grupo Folklorico Macias and entertainment by Delian Music and other local musicians. Volunteers from the Historical Society of Centinela Valley will demonstrate pioneer crafts, costumed youth actors will portray individuals from the 1930's and there will be an exhibit of classic cars. Plan to join the City of Inglewood in celebrating the restoration of one of the city's most cherished historical landmarks.
For information, call 310.412.8750. The new art park is adjacent to Inglewood High School and across Manchester Boulevard from City Hall.

I just worship D.W

A city where the artist would not fear the censor, where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality, where the great would not be constrained by the small!

On Oct. 13, Jay Vetere of Green River was working chopping corn for silage on his farm. He stopped the machine and with the PTO still engaged got off the tractor and placed the chopper in reverse and cleaned the gathering chain; he placed the chopper in forward position to begin chopping again when he spied one more cornstalk stuck in the chopper and then used his left arm to grab it and when the stalk came out, the two blades grabbed Vetere's shirt and drug his arm into the chopper. Vetere tried to pull his arm out but was unable to; the chopper stopped twice but it overpowered him. His only alternative was to let the arm go through the chopper where it was cut off at the elbow joint. Vetere gripped his left arm with his right arm to help stop the blood flow from the wound. He had to let go of his arm when he attempted to use his cell phone to call 911. Vetere was unable to call out with his cell phone and attempted numerous phone calls. Vetere told himself that he needed to make one more phone call and that's when the call went through to his son Greg.
Greg immediately called 911; he was connected to the Grand County Dispatch who referred the call to the Emery County Dispatch. Sgt. Mitch Vetere, son of Jay Vetere responded to the incident involving his father. He didn't know for sure who it was when the call came in, suspecting it was either of his two brothers Greg or Tim. But, arriving at the scene he discovered it was his father.
Sgt. Vetere said, "When my father was standing by the farm equipment he couldn't get his cell phone to work. It has something to do with the metal equipment interfering with the signal. During the time, he was waiting for help he was able to stop the bleeding except at times when he tried to use the phone and had to let go of his arm. About the time my Dad reached Greg by phone the silage truck had just left the main watermelon stand on Green River Main Street where Greg had been talking to the truck driver, Justin Carter. It usually only takes about 20 minutes to make a round, but he had stopped to push and pack down the pit and that's why it took him so long to get back to where my Dad was. My Dad never complained throughout this whole ordeal. He had a strong will to live. The doctor said if he had passed out then he probably would had bled to death in five minutes. He kept his wits about him and he was able to do whatever he needed to do to get help.
"The surgeons took his arm off about three or four inches above the elbow. He is home now and recovering. He is having quite a bit of trouble with the phantom pain and he said that his arm feels really heavy. But, that's the arm that isn't there. My Dad is a tough old guy and he said death wasn't an option. He said he had to stay around so he could pick watermelons next year. The Green River people have been wonderful helping out and sending cards, flowers and bringing in food.. Several of the Green River farmers also came and finished putting up the silage for us. It's been overwhelming the support we've received. If anything good comes of this, I hope it is in educating people, my Dad always warned us about being careful around the farm equipment. Also, if you're using a cell phone around the farm equipment get out in the open so you can get a signal," said Sgt. Vetere.
Jay Vetere said, "I thank the good Lord that I survived this ordeal. I did get a bit lightheaded, but I never gave up hope as I was making the phone calls. My right arm was swollen up from where I held it over my left arm. But, I did know what to do and have taken some first aid classes. The Lord was with me through the whole thing," said Jay.

I really do a little bit of both. I will usually pick up the majority on line due to the cost in savings, however i have to save some of it to actually visit a store nothing like being there finding the deals and make sure you get it before the next person.
Now wait a minute, Susie. Just because every child can't get his wish that doesn't mean there isn't a Santa Claus.
I love shopping in stores more. Especially around the season in that christmassy atmosphere, but I do my fair share of online shopping to. And I love to look and compare online and then go to the actual store to get stuff.
I do a bit of both. I LOVE the experience of wandering through stores and picking items out, I also love the fact that I can get most anything I want, online, too. Living in such a small, rural area, we don't really have any major stores nearby. If I want to go to K-Mart or Wal*Mart, I'm looking at a 30 minute ride and these stores don't really carry a lot of things that they might carry in more urban areas.
I love having UPS come to my house, going to the PO for packages and bringing packages home from a shopping trip...it all makes me happy!
I Love This Christmasy Time of Year!
Christmastime is the only time that I like to go shopping (the decorations, music, mingling with society). I'm usually done by then and am just browsing for anything that strikes my fancy (some beautful things come out at holiday time). Much less stressful for me.
The holly's up, the house is all bright, The tree is ready, the candles alight; Rejoice and be glad, all children tonight.
I prefer on-line shopping. Thats also fun.
Its the season to be jolly
I like both, of course, that depends on the time of the year..
During Holidays, I love being out all day, visiting every Christmas store in town!!!
When Christmas is over and there is not even one Christmas shop, then, I m starting my online shooping..
And so, as Tiny Tim observed, "God Bless us!! Everyone!!''
A Christmas Carol - Charles Dickens (1843)
Ive always done my shopping in store. This year I might do a little shopping online, depending on what people want.
It's the most wonderful time of the year!
Prefer to shop in the stores. You can actually touch and see the gift! On-line shopping is good when you need something that is hard to find - like an old DVD
I got my Christmas puzzle shopping online.. There was no other way to get it, as, here, you can not find such things...
And so, as Tiny Tim observed, "God Bless us!! Everyone!!''

One thing missing from the reality show of this B list mostly television actress is the ending of her marriage and the new guy in her life
. She really wanted the world to think she has a rock solid marriage.
Yeah, it's gotta be Tori or maybe that LeAnne R betch.
Haven't seen Leah Remini's new show is it good?ReplyCancel
Not Lisa Rinna?ReplyCancel
@Basil It's on TLC!ReplyCancel
@ Basil I was thinking the same thing. I didn't watch King of Queens but she's HIGHlarious.
I use to love that old modeling show she started out on. Ha
Yeah, I guess Leanne would be Singer/ wanna be actressReplyCancel
Nicole Richie?
But Lisa and Leah could work, but hope not.ReplyCancel
wonder if she dishes on scientology on her show. would be so juicy! guess that will never happen…
okay, on a total separate note PLL is driving me crazy. I'm catching up on this season. what the world! spoilers? scoops? frustrations?ReplyCancel
One of the fatass kardadian slut pigsReplyCancel
@orvilla.MY dolls lolReplyCancel
MY dolls
And think it's Leah
Post DWTS they all go Leah Leah thinking they the shit
Hahaha Tricia. What is happening on that damn show? I swear they can drag out some plot lines like they drag out bodies in Spencer's yard!ReplyCancel
My bad paper dollsReplyCancel
Orvilla lol!ReplyCancel
Lisa Rinna? on RHOBH
I hate that I know that.ReplyCancel
Paris I just read that she is on RHOBH and so is Eileen Davidson from Y&R and Days. I've never watched RH but I think I might now.ReplyCancel
That explains all the single girl time with Jlo all summer long.
Angelo is Much older than Leah and doesn't work
Leah probably wants to be single and free like Jlo
Orvilla, I am so disappointed in both those women – joining that crapfest is such a bad decision.
You couldn't make me watch that shit if you tied me down.ReplyCancel
Leah Remini also played Carla's daughter on Cheers.ReplyCancel
….to those who asked about Leah's reality show:
I did watch some of LR's reality show. She's actually pretty funny – especially in her confessionals. If you get her humor, that is.
She's one of those comedic actresses who says what she thinks and doesn't give a shit and in her new reality show, she does it w/ humor.
She lays it all out there. Does mention Scientology, but nothing salacious.ReplyCancel
Nicole Richie has been doing a lot of talk shows promoting her show, but in a couple of interviews she has made a point of saying it is not her "real life" but more a comedy.
I've read that Harry is not in favor of Lisa being a Housewife. I just can't picture Lisa letting that end her marriage and having a new guy that quickly.ReplyCancel
I hope it's not Leah her and her husband seem to get along well and I thought the husband had enough money to bail out her parent's restaurant bizReplyCancel
Nicole's show is a disaster. She and her bimbo friends sit there on their phones. Nicole is so much thinner than even her thinnest friends, it's very noticable and disturbing. I can't watch human skeletons like Tori and Nicole, it's literally uncomfortable and cringing to see.ReplyCancel
I agree w/above…I watched an unbearable five minutes of it the other day. She can't parallel park and after being a rude bitch to her driver her totally called her out on camera for asking her (the driver) to go shopping with her when they weren't friends and never hung out, she threw a hissy and said 'never mind just drop me off at my dad's' then did the parking practice at behest of Lionel Richie. He was really humble, and she was a character out of Pink's "Stupid Girls" video. Then to top it all off when she successfully parked she said "you'd never know I have 2 DUI's" like it was something to either a) laugh about, or b) brag about, of which it is neither. The color completely drained from Lionel's face and I swear he cringed. I don't get it because at the time of that Simple Life show she seemed like she had a natural sense of humor and some humility. No longer.ReplyCancel
Paris I feel you but how many opportunities do they have coming their way. Well, hell they don't have jump on a sinking ship either…
Maybe, I will stick to not ever having watched it.
Ichabod that is freaking bonkers!ReplyCancel

The Kingsford® Points Chase
Chasing Kingsford
Pellet Envy, the envy of the Great Lenexa BBQ battle
Jul 01, 2011
Pellet Envy has added another grand championship to their belt after topping all 195 teams competing at this year's Great Lenexa BBQ Battle in Lenexa, Kan.
They were also named the top team cooking with Kingsford, earning them points in the Kingsford Points Chase and a check for $500.
In addition, the team took home top honors in their favorite, yet arguably most difficult category, brisket. And, they finished third overall in ribs.
For Rod and Sherri Gray of Pellet Envy, barbeque is more than a weekend hobby, it's a lifestyle they have embraced whole hog. Their love of the sport of barbeque is obvious, as is their dedication to sharing their knowledge and expertise on America's cuisine.
The name Pellet Envy is, on the surface, a play on a term and concept developed and made popular by Sigmund Freud. It was also crafted as a jab to teams who have to stay up all night tending the fires while pellet cookers got to sleep. Now, as Rod and Sheri have begun using wood and charcoal, they've realized the joke is on them.
Like many American families, grilling and 'queing was a long-time family affair in the Gray household. But Rod's first low and slow experience came in college, when his then roommate offered his girlfriend (and now wife and teammate) a sample of the brisket he'd spent the better part of the day slaving over.
"That brisket was the worst thing I ever intentionally put in my mouth," Rod said. "I swore I would never work that hard to achieve those end results. Ten years later I dove head first into cooking true low and slow barbeque."
One could, and many do, argue that Rod and Sheri's end results have been far more pallet pleasing that his roommate's attempt at brisket.
In addition to competing, which they've been doing for 11 years, the Grays also teach classes on preparing competition barbeque. As one of the top teams on the KCBS circuit, Pellet Envy's classes fill up fast as teams clamor to learn their secrets and techniques.
Rod offered a free tip to Grilling.com readers, "pat your meat dry with a paper towel before you put it on the grill. That way, you'll get those great grill marks and the meat will release from the grill grates, which is a built in indicator that it's time to turn it."

While checking out some fun parenting blogs, I came across HEATHER SCHUCK from Glamajama. She has a blog that suggests 20 different ideas to kill time when you're, well killing time, waiting for an appointment with the kids. One of my favorites from her list was playing "I Spy." The "I Spy" book series includes at least a dozen books priced at $3 to $11, and my kids loved them. The authors and illustrators Jean Marzollo, Walter Wick and Carol Devine Carson must be fun people. In Wikipedia, Marzollo says that "I Spy" books have the same rhythm and rhyme as "Old Mother Hubbard" and rap — who knew?
We were also "Where's Waldo" fans. There's even a 25th anniversary edition "Where's Waldo Now"– all by Martin Hanford.

Skip to comments.John Batchelor: The Obama-Biden campaign is in meltdown
Posted on 09/13/2008 8:48:08 PM PDT by chuknchez
McCain's Right ArmBy John Batchelor. posted on September 12, 2008 at 10:05 PM
September 1968
After a year of starving and abusing 32 year old John McCain, no medical attention, abandonment and isolation in a windowless cell at the North Vietnamese Potemkin Village of a prison called the Plantation, the sadistic boss of the camp, Major Bai, called "Cat" by the POWs, ordered that the torturers break the admiral's son and force him to sign a confession. It was September, 1968. John McCain's father, John S. McCain, had become admiral of the Pacific Fleet the summer before, and the son's refusal to accept early release, and give the enemy a propoganda item, had angered Hanoi. Now John McCain the son was to pay for his resistance. The torturers started by rebreaking his left arm. Then he was trussed in ropes and beaten every two or three hours. According to the definitive Naval Institute Press volume on the POWS, "Honor Bound: American Prisoners of War in Southeast Asia, 1961-1973," this sadism continued for four days. He resisted and weakened. Finally he signed the confession. Forty years later, this act of courage and then retreat still bothers John McCain, and he mentioned it movingly in his acceptance speech to the Republican Convention on September 4. What also stays with John McCain is the damage to his arms. When he was released in 1973, (left, returning to US care) his right arm was two inches shorter than his left.

The Obama-Biden Campaign is in Meltdown
This meltdown explains how it is possible for the Obama-Biden campaign to issue, on the eve of Hurrican Ike that will dominate the news for twenty-four hours, the most cynical and stupid of webads that attacks John McCain for not being in the economy enough to use the internet. The webad is the worst of postures-- it is snide:
"1982, John McCain goes to Washington," an announcer says over chirpy elevator music. "Things have changed in the last 26 years, but McCain hasn't. He admits he still doesn't know how to use a computer...
Perhaps the webad writers were unaware of John McCain's disability (left, at the Plantation before the torture, 1968). Perhaps they skipped the detail that John McCain depends upon Cindy McCain to type his e-mail messages. Perhaps it just does not make sense, to a campaign headed by the fresh-faced forty-something David Plouffe, that there are men walking around who have been tortured and permanently disabled by the enemy. Perhaps, as I have been told by my best Democratic Party source, the Obama-Biden campaign is in meltdown, there is no single message, there is no unity, there is no vision, and so separate but equal parts with lots of cash but not much learning are just wandering off the trail. My professionals, Fund, Ververs, Charen, Avlon, Johnson, West, Crowley, McTague, Levine and Whalen will address the strange disintegration of the Obama-Biden campaign on Sunday 14. The question will be, Was 9-11-08 the day (right, the two candidates at Columbia University on Thursday 11) that the Democratic Party panicked that Obama-Biden was not working for either winning the White House nor for holding the Congress?
No, no David Plouffe is our best friend these days. :)
I am really hoping that Rush, Laura and the others pick this up on Monday. This ad has me boiling. I'm ready to fight!
"The Obama-Biden Campaign is in Meltdown"
I will sleep well tonite.
No! Leave him alone.
If Mark Levin did on Friday eve, you can be sure Rush, Sean and the gang will blast Barry on Monday. ;)
Just drag on another, ah ... well another 6 weeks or so. Dying a s...l...o...w death.
The timing of the meltdown couldn't be better.
Remember, though there are lots of political junkies on sites like this one, millions of undecided Americans are just starting to pay attetion to the election campaign. And they aren't liking what they see of Obama. The first pres. debate in an election year is the most watched one. If McCain outshines Obama in that debate, that might be the beginning of the end for Obama. People's minds will start being made up.
And with the spread of early voting and absentee voting in so many states, many millions of votes will have been cast two or three weeks before election day, which makes it harder for dirty campaigns to do an "October surprise" and influence the outcome.
Time is growing short for Obama to turn this around.
Sorry. No can do. There's no room left under the bus, except for the space reserved for Ayers. The Pouffe is going to have to stay and keep flailing around, making messes all over the place. Too bad.
Just drag on another, ah ... well another 6 weeks or so. Dying a s...l...o...w death.
a thousand or so cuts.
Get him going with a set-up about Guantanamo, and the "inhuman" practices (har!) there.
Then ask why he is in favor of more rights for the terrorists than for his opponent as President -- as proven by the fact that he used McCain's injuries from torture as a sign of stodginess, not heroism..
Then ask him about Ayers.
damn damn dam.. the Obamamessiah doesn't know what hit him. they're shooting in the dark and wailing their arms hoping something sticks. that fool Obama doesn't crap about sacrifice for one's country. Pack your Styrofoam Columns citizen of the world... and move to the UN.
After five years as a prisoner of war, John McCain returned home with physical injuries that would have a lasting impact. His broken arms make it painful to lift his hands above his shoulders or to use a keyboard.
Barack Obama thinks that's funny. The guy can't use a computer. He and his wife read e-mails together and she will key in his responses.
Barack Obama. Quick to mock...not ready to lead.
How is Davids last name pronounced?
not poofy is it ploofay?
Well, I suspect this is a situation where there are functioning units of an army that fight well but have no generalship from above.
For example, Greenspan's comments were jumped on by someone in that campaign within just a few hours and got words put into the candidate's mouth. So . . . don't think they are going to roll over and die.
They have some units still fighting and those units have to be destroyed. But . . . it may be only a mopping up operation with the overall army in disarray.
I'm not sure that there are enough words to portray how incredibly shockingly stupid this particular attack on McCain was. I thought that the lipstick on a pig was disastrous, but Obama better get out the life preservers on this one. The storm that's coming is going to be epochal for his campaign.
A Billion butterfly bites.
Heh I am fairly confident that Rush, Hannity, Levin, Laura and everyone else will jump on it like a chicken on a junebug.
I hope they still have 50 more days of stupid on 'em.
"While you're at it, why don't you give me a nice paper cut and pour lemon juice on it?" Princess Bride
My thoughts exactly. Mr. Plouffe, please carry on...
Will Fox be the only station to actually report on this? I'm beginning to doubt it and if they do, I'm sure it will be chalked up to a gaffe.
Don't bet the farm on NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC etc to do more then a 10 second quip about the ad, if they even give it 10 seconds.
Are you sure you are on the right board when you signed up this month? Plouffe is the gift that keeps on giving to Republicans and none of us think he should step down.
That's the script for the rebuttal ad.
Good one.
When I was very young, my father came home from work and recounted the torture of a man who had given a talk about what he experienced at the hands of the North Koreans as a POW. He was bound, tied and confined to a small cage. I don't remember all the details, but they tied him with leather or something that contracted when it dried. Just when he thought they were coming to release him, they tightened up and wet the bindings instead. Whether he had any information they wanted wasn't clear; it seemed that they were doing it just to be sadistic and that he was the enemy.
It is the sort of thing that leaves a lasting impression. I grew up knowing a lot of things a lot of people that young usually don't know without having been through the horror themselves.
I don't think we should be too exultant at the apparent current disarray in the Obama campaign and the polls. A lot can happen between now and election day.
"If McCain outshines Obama in that debate, that might be the beginning of the end for Obama. Peoples minds will start being made up."
But isn't Obama running against Govenor Palin?
As I understood it, Greenspan said McCain's tax cuts wouldn't work without spending reductions.
Obama's camp said, "See, even Greenspan doesn't think McCain's tax plan is a good idea."
To which McCain replied, "I have never suggested tax cuts without accompanying spending cuts so I am in full agreement."
End of story. Another blunder by Obama.
I'm trying not to get too excited, I know we have a long way to go but at this point all I can say is "melt baby melt!!" :-)
The Obama-Biden Campaign is in Meltdown
Apparently the DUmmies also are in meltdown about this "can't use a computer" attach. Hubby reads their stuff (I just can't!), and they were beating themselves up about this. "We are so stupid." Maybe they finally get it.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Will the questions during the debate will they be confidential? Has any candidate in the past gotten a hold of the questions before hand? If they are wearing ear pieces can someone feed B.O. answers?
"I am fairly confident that Rush, Hannity, Levin, Laura and everyone else will jump on it."
Add Tammy Bruce to that list. Her show is very good and I find myself listening more and more often.
Anyhow, if Hannity's heard about the ad (and how could he not have?) he'll be like a dog with a bone.
"Apparently the DUmmies also are in meltdown"
I usually spend a few minutes there each day to scan the board and check for a pulse. they were noticeably down in the dumps today. Heheheh
Obama's campaign is being nibbled to death by ducks, er, uh, cluster ducks.
"I am really hoping that Rush, Laura and the others pick this up on Monday. This ad has me boiling. Im ready to fight!"
Speaking of Rush, I heard him say on his Friday(Thursday?) show that this is the time of the year when any failing presidential campaign starts firing people. Start googling the words Obama and shakeup and be the first to report it on FR. :)
The Obama camp keeps throwing boomarangs that spin back around and hit them in the butt. The attack on Palin's experience made experience an issue, and therefore Obama's lack of experience compared to McCain. His "lipstick on a pig" remark, which everyone knows was intentionally aimed at Palin (watch the crowd reaction), played into the McCain-Palin camp's efforts to paint him as a misogynist a-hole. Now, this. What's remarkable about this is how Obama's campaign continues to shoot itself in the foot.
No, he needs to stay!
I know they are in meltdown, and we will not hear stories about what really happened until this election is over.
My opinion? The guy is all hype, and doesn't have a clear plan for this country other than typical big government tax and spend, and soft on defense.
I'm not too comfortable with claim such as '0bama is in meltdown'... They might re-group anytime. We also need to be concerned with the field organization that will be the most important thing come November 4. 0bama claims to spend a lot of money building voter organizations that will be ready by then. Yes, I'm aware they might include the dead people as well, but still, we need to work harder on that front.
"But isnt Obama running against Govenor Palin?"
Yes. And he's losing that race as well.
Laura will tear them a new one over the no e-mail insult.
"The One's rallies and his running mate is nowhere to be seen. "
Joe Biden be hidin.
That alone would make a powerful ad.
And Hillery and the cavalry can't ride in and save him ... at his 'Little Big Horn'.
I somewhat expect an Obama lackey to issue a typical "sorry if anyone was offended" gesture, but it won't come from Obama.
**Apparently the DUmmies also are in meltdown about this cant use a computer attach.**
Every time I hear anything come from the Mouth of The Mess-iah, I believe more that he is not Carter reelected, but the reincarnated campaign of MONDALE!
The Libs keep this up.. the results of this election may make Reagan/Mondale look a close call.

Autism is a pervasive developmental disorder that involves abnormal development and function of the brain. People with autism show decreased social communication skills and restricted or repetitive patterns of behaviors or interests.
By current definition, the onset of autism is prior to age 3 years. When autism was first characterized by Leo Kanner in 1943, the prevalence was estimated at 1 in every 2,000 children. Today, one out of every 68 children is affected with autism or a related disorder. Thus, it is more prevalent than breast cancer or childhood diabetes. The recurrence rate for having a second child with autism if one already exists within a family is thought to be 15-20%.
Based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-IV (DSM-IV), autism is currently considered one of five different pervasive developmental disorders that also includes Asperger's Disorder, Pervasive Developmental Disorder Not-Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS), Childhood Disintegrative Disorder and Rett's Syndrome. Childhood Disintegrative Disorder and Rett's Syndrome are very rare (about 1 in 40,000).
In 2013 the American Psychiatric Association will publish a revised version of the DSM. Current plans for this new version, DSM-V, include only one diagnosis, called autism spectrum disorder or "ASD." This new diagnostic label will subsume those disorders formerly known as autism, PDD-NOS, Asperger's Syndrome and Childhood Disintegrative Disorder. Rett's Syndrome will not be included in the DSM-V.
Twenty years ago the mean age of diagnosis nationally was around age 5. Today many children are being diagnosed near their second or third birthday and in some cases even earlier. The dramatic change in the mean age of diagnosis is due in part to improved diagnostic procedures. The development of the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS), created by Catherine Lord, Ph.D. and colleagues in the 1980's has contributed greatly to early diagnosis efforts.
Currently a new diagnostic module, called the "ADOS, Toddler Module," is available for use with children as young as 12-months old to help the clinician establish a risk profile.
Other early diagnosis efforts are being researched around the country including efforts to develop a diagnostic test for autism based on patterns of functional brain activity, eye tracking or genetic profile, currently ongoing at the UCSD Autism Center of Excellence.
Most but not all children with the disorder experience a sudden increase in brain size around their first birthday. Although a few studies have implicated a relationship between the amount of brain overgrowth and severity of symptoms, there is currently no clear relationship.
Eric Courchesne and his colleagues suggest that the brain undergoes three phases of development: early brain overgrowth followed by arrest of growth and eventually decline. Key brain regions thought to contribute to the symptomology of autism include the:
The causes of autism remain unknown, although the high concordance rate between identical twins, usually 70-90%, confirms that autism is a strongly inherited disorder. Many studies have implicated a variety of developmental genes but none have been found consistently across affected individuals.
Environmental factors, such as exposure to viruses or toxins during pregnancy, are speculated to contribute but none have been conclusively identified.
The clinical description herein will use the term ASD to refer mainly to what is currently known as autistic disorder and Pervasive Developmental Disorder Not-Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS).
The symptoms of ASD can vary widely. For example, some children may demonstrate extremely poor eye contact, whereas other children with an ASD may demonstrate good eye contact. Some children may not talk at all, whereas other children with ASD may have very good productive language and even be able to converse with others. The dissimilarity of ASD symptoms probably reflects the complexity of brain abnormalities and the underlying genetics that likely involve multiple genes and gene-environment interactions.
Deficits in Social Behavior
In the young child with autism, the epicenter of social deficits are often thought of as abnormalities in "social attention" behaviors. Defects in social attention can take the form of reduced eye contact, reduced showing of objects, reduced pointing, reduced following a speaker's line of gaze and the like. In brief, the child with autism often does not make frequent attempts to join the social-emotional world of others and, conversely, to draw others into their world.
As the child matures and interpersonal expectations increase, other social abnormalities become apparent, such as more pronounced abnormalities in eye contact, reductions in reciprocal social interaction, and difficulties in identifying and interpreting the emotions of others. Finally, difficulties in the ability to take the mental perspective of another person (a.k.a. "Theory of Mind") is also common in autism and may emerge as the direct result of difficulties with early social attention.
While the image of an autistic child sitting alone in a corner and swaying his body up and back in a rocking manner is sometimes valid, it does not represent the child as a whole. In fact, children with autism can and do form strong social attachments to their caregivers. They smile and laugh and can experience great joy.
Abnormalities in Language
About half of all individuals with autism fail to develop fully functional speech, and for those who do, language is generally characterized by one or more abnormalities such as pronoun reversal (e.g., saying "he" went to the market instead of "I" went to the market), use of neologisms (nonsensical or made up words), stereotyped or rigid speech, and abnormalities in intonation.
The speech of autistic individuals is also characterized by echolalia, which is the repetition of words either right after someone speaks them or after a delay of hours, days, or even months. For example, an autistic individual may repeat the phrase "how old are you?" hundreds of times in a single day, after hearing the phrase only once. Also, children with low levels of functional speech can often repeat extended sequences heard in their favorite videos or television shows.
Delays in Cognition
In the past researchers and clinicians believed that approximately 75% of people with autism were also cognitively impaired. Today, with improved testing methods and early treatment efforts, more than half of children with autism have cognitive abilities that fall within the normal range, although many still function in the delayed range.
While children with autism may not learn in the same way as typically developing children, current behavioral practices have shown that these children are very capable of learning. In fact, a new study by Geraldine Dawson and colleagues published in 2010 showed that early treatment led to an average 15 point gain in IQ.
Although it is difficult to disentangle secondary effects of early social and language impairment from cognitive deficits per se, some scientists believe that deficits in higher order memory abilities, conceptual reasoning (e.g., categorization skills), executive function (e.g., switching between two or more mental sets), and auditory information processing may be important features of this disorder.
Restricted and Repetitive Interests
Individuals with autism commonly display restricted, repetitive and stereotyped patterns of interests and activities. This general category of behavior manifests itself in many ways such as an inflexible adherence to specific routines, stereotyped and repetitive motor mannerisms (e.g., hand-flapping) or a preoccupation with an object or part of an object.
In general, autistic individuals display a significantly reduced interest in their environment, instead, focusing their attention on one specific aspect of the environment (e.g., a lamp) or obsessive idea (e.g., amassing facts about cars). Further, individuals with autism may insist on sameness and show distress over trivial changes in their environment (e.g., movement of a piece of furniture).
Restricted and repetitive environmental interests likely interfere with learning and may have significant developmental implications for the autistic child because he or she may miss many learning opportunities that fall outside their scope of interest. Combined with attention deficits described above, the autistic child often has difficulty learning from his or her environment.
A wide range of therapies exist to treat the symptoms of autism, most of which are based on a behavioral and/or a developmental model. Commonly used treatments include:
Pivotal Response Training (PRT)
Therapies based on a "behavioral" model rely on the principles of behavior and attempt to teach child skills by providing specific cues and consequences for behavior in order to teach the child new skills. Therapies based on a "developmental" model focus on identifying a child's current ability level and guiding him or her through a sequence of learning experiences that become more developmentally complex across time.
While most therapies combine insight from both behavioral and developmental models, some therapies are heavily weighted towards either approach. For example, DTT relies heavily on the principles of behavior whereas ESDM relies heavily on principles of development.
Aside from isolated medications that may be beneficial at targeting specific symptoms such as seizures, there is no medicine or pill to treat autism. Alternative therapies exist such as hyperbaric oxygen or chelation therapy, but there is no scientific evidence to suggest that these therapies are effective. Such alternative therapies also come with some level of safety risk.

from Tocumen (and back)
There are 4 possible scenarios to get you from Panama's International Airport Tocumen to the Balboa Inn:
- We pick you up
- You take a taxi
- You drive with a rental car
- Friends pick you up
(1) We pick you up
We highly recommend you let us arrange your airport pickup transfer. At $35 for 2 people addition cost is $10.00 per person. You can be sure to have a reliable driver that knows our exact location and doesn't confuse us with another inn. We can arrange pickup at any time of the day or night. To use this service, simply arrange it during the booking process or send us your flight data. We will then send you a copy of these airport pickup instructions.
(2) You take a taxi
If you prefer to take an airport taxi. No problem. But please, make sure to print out this document and, very important, take it with you :-). Even the most geographically challenged taxi driver in Panama (and they are all very challenged!) should be able to make it. Remember, Panamanian taxi drivers can't read maps so make sure they read the Spanish instructions that refer to well-known landmarks. The map is for your own reference. And do be sure to note our phone number just in case.
We don't mind late check-ins but we definitely don't get excited by being called at 11 p.m. by a confused taxi driver who has never been to Balboa, took the wrong turn, can't count beyond 5 or took you to Balboa Avenue instead of the Balboa neighborhood. And we know you won't be happy neither. So, please print the instructions and carry them with you.
(3) You drive a rental car
No problem. Although driving in Panama City – depending on the time of day – is not always for the faint of heart, it certainly not as bad as Bangkok or Calcutta. As an option, you may actually consider picking up your rental car at Albrook airport after you arrive at the Balboa Inn. Driving in the Canal area is a whole different story and getting in and out of town, from Balboa, is very easy. We're right near the Bridge of the America's and the highway to Colon.
Please review and PRINT the instructions on this page (in PDF). to make driving over from Tocumen as easy as we can possibly make it.
Don't count on your rental-company supplied GPS! We just had guests (October 2010) that spent over 2 hours driving around because their GPS didn't work. We also know some rental companies don't update the local maps which can lead to all kinds of aggravation. When you call the Balboa Inn in such a case, we will recommend you flag down a taxi and have them lead you to the Balboa Inn. Of course for this you will need the directions for a taxi driver in Spanish. So just place safe: print it and take it along.
(4) Friends pick you up
It's good to have friends! Just make sure they know where the Balboa Inn is and when in doubt, tell them to check out this page and the maps above.
Return to Tocumen with a rental car?
Very easy. Please review and print this page or ask our staff to print it.

I'm all for this move. Looking forward to next season already.
Pouncey?? Time to call Mahan outta retirement!!
Here We Go Steelers, Here We Go...
Here We Go Steelers, Here We Go...
Here We Go Steelers, Here We Go...!!!
At least Tomlin didn't try to beat a dead horse with Mahan. Some coaches would not allow their ego to be insulted by cutting a player that did not work out. How in the heck he ever thought he was a center to start with is beyond me but, at least we didn't suffer way too long with the guy.
Ok. So yes I am excited about the possibilities. So I read about the run blocking lines he had in 14 seasons. But did Munchak get a guy like Adams to play up to his ceiling? Did most of Munchak's O lines have high picks? Will the guys we have gel or like there new coach? Or will he need some new guys to follow him? Heck what will his grades of our O-line men be? Just some thoughts guys that this might not be a slam dunk right away. But I do like it and hope it works better then we all here think it will. There are a bunch of O-line on the off season roster.
Players will respect a guy like Munchak...he was not only a HC, but played in the league for 12 years and was enshrined into the Hall of Fame...

Yes, I'll admit it — Its taken me almost seven years of owning a B&B to finally figure out exactly how to fold a fitted sheet. We do A LOT of laundry so the fact that it took me that long is pretty embarrassing but now that I've figured it out I must share it with you. Pretty soon your linen closet will be looking like a commercial on HGTV. For extra organization, try storing a complete sheet set inside of a pillow case.
Step 1 – Find a flat surface (I use a bed). Open the sheet up so it is flat with the elastic facing up.
Step 2 – Take your right hand and place it in the upper right corner of your sheet. Do the same with your left hand in the upper left corner. Bring your hands up so they are holding the sheet in front of your face or chest.
Step 3 – Take your right hand and flip the corner of the sheet over your left hand. You will now have two corners on your left hand and none on your right. Straighten the corners out so it makes an "L" shape. Lay this end of the sheet back on the bed.
Step 4 – Carefully pick up the other two corners. This time the sheet on your right hand will go under the sheet on your left hand. Make another "L" as in Step 3. Lay the sheet back on the bed (it should loo like the photo in the second square).
Step 5 – Fold the sheet in to fourths until it makes one long piece. Fold in half and then half again.

So many compliments
"AT first these boots ran a bit narrow. The first couple of times, I could only wear them with thin socks. But once broken in, they are very comfy and can be worn all day long. They can be dressed for work, casual, or even dressy. Beautiful camel color. And plus, I get so many compliments on them!"

good boot
"I liked this boot a lot, although the zippers on both sides make things a little noisy when you walk. Ultimately decided not to keep them, but only because the other Tahari boot I ordered was a little bit closer to my personal style. This is a solid brand with nice designs at a fair price."

"Love these boots a lot! They pretty much match with everything and really make outfits pop.At first, they feel stiff, but once you break them in, they're just perfect. It runs perfect and true to size. My left foot was slightly narrow, but no real big discomfort or nothing that can't easily be broken in overtime. Can wear these all night with friends over dinner or such, and all day for work."
