Volleyblast Registration Almost Full - A Few Spots Still Left So Register Now!
WINNIPEG - This March 26-28 will mark the first edition of 'Volleyblast', a youth girls club tournament being hosted by the Winnipeg based National Women's Volleyball Team in conjunction with the Manitoba Volleyball Association. The tournament will be held at the University of Manitoba Investors Group Athletic Centre and will involve competitions in four age divisions: 14U, 15U, 16U and 17U.
Special aspects to this tournament will include an athlete skills competition run by national team athletes and a coaches luncheon featuring the national team head coach Arnd Ludwig, both taking place on Saturday, March 27. In addition, women's national team athletes will be on hand throughout the event for autographs and for guest coaching with each of the participating teams.
Furthermore, in line with the Volleyball Canada LTAD principles, the 14U division will be played with 'Triple Ball' competition format. 'Triple Ball' is a game format designed to accelerate an athletes fundamental skill development, help developing athletes experience more success, and therefore enjoy the game of volleyball more.
The tournament registration is going well but a few spots are still open, so we encourage your team to register now so you don't miss out.
"We're very happy with the response so far to this Volleyblast tournament," stated Arnd Ludwig, the head coach of the women's national team. "We hope to have 48 teams competing in this first year and we are close to that number already. It is an event that we are planning on organizing on an annual basis, and growing in future years."

: I'm re-modeling both my bathrooms and I'm not looking to spend a lot of cash. I'm going to get something from Lowes or Home Depot, or what the plumbers who re-piped my house sell, as they are going to install the tub/toilet.
: I'm looking for something that doesn't need a mortar bed since my quote is based on that, as the plumbers recommended Briggs model doesn't require this. The plumbers want $250 for their tub. The other tubns are $88-120, except for the American Standard which is $210.
: Some searching has lend me to most people opting for the procelan covered steel out of this choices. Some say the Americast does NOT hold up well. The Vikrell I can't find anything on.
: I'm looking for something that looks nice and will hold up. Cleaning wise we usually use scrubbing bubbles, but if a fiberglass or acrylic tub can't use this, we'll switch. We will use this tub once or twice a month MAX as a tub, and even less for showering in.

Fatal shooting suspect arraigned in court
JONESBOROUGH, Tenn. - A man accused in a fatal shooting in Johnson City made an appearance in court.
Marcus Gergish was arraigned in a Washington County, Tennessee courtroom Thursday.
Gergish is charged with the first degree murder of Timothy Peregoy, Sr.
We pulled the affidavit that states officers said Peregoy died from two gunshot wounds.
According to the affidavit, witnesses told officers Gergish left an apartment after buying suboxone strips from Peregoy's wife, and then a fight took place outside.
The affidavit states witnesses said they saw Gergish with a handgun pointed at Peregoy telling him to "give it up, give it up", and then they heard two gunshots.
Gergish was appointed a public defender and is scheduled to be back in court next week.
His bond is set at $100,000.

When I first posted about Benjamin Clayton, I made reference to a military record (a WWI attestation paper) which I thought might belong to the Benjamin Clayton who is found in the household of Michael Moran (son of Francis Moran and Anne Galligan) in the 1911 census of Fitzroy township. Thanks to an email communication from one of Benjamin Clayton's grandsons, I can now confirm that this was indeed the same person. He was born in Leeds, England on 16 September 1892; and he died at North Bay, Ontario, Canada on 1 February 1962.
In 1905, the orphaned Benjamin Clayton was sent to Canada (to St. George's Home, in Hintonburg, Ottawa, one of the main receiving centres for Catholic Home Children from 1895 to 1930) with a party of boys from the Catholic Emigration Association.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
In the Sept. 14 meeting of the Emery County Commission they heard from those involved in the Range Creek Management Plan. Ann Hannibal, from the Utah Museum of Natural History said the ownership of Range Creek transferred in January to SITLA and SITLA leased the property to the museum. The museum is based at the University of Utah, but is an independent authority belonging to the state of Utah. When the Division of Wildlife Resources was in ownership of Range Creek they started a draft management plan for Range Creek and this plan will be added to until a permanent management plan is put into place. The plan is narrowly focused and will meet all legal agreements and commitments made with entities previously involved. The museum has been in the canyon for eight years now doing research.
Commissioner Gary Kofford said Emery County would like to remain involved in the management plan as the process goes forward from here. Range Creek is important to Emery County and any artifacts and things found there should be allowed to return to Emery County. The concessionaires currently in place for visitors into Range Creek is working good and allows the public to visit Range Creek in an organized manner.
Hannibal agreed Emery County has a great stake in the canyon. She agreed artifacts should be exhibited here. The Utah State Museum of Natural History is currently building a new building where more items can be displayed. It is to be ready in January 2012.
Commissioner Jeff Horrocks said he would like to see the state museum work closely with the Museum of the San Rafael in Castle Dale.
Commissioner Kofford said he appreciates what has been done with Range Creek and the work the college students have done.
Duncan Metcalfe from the University of Utah has been involved with Range Creek since the sale of the property to the state by Waldo Wilcox. Metcalf said, "Some fascinating things are showing up. Waldo told me in the beginning there were several high elevation spots. These sites are 900 feet off the valley floor. We have been using technical rock climbers to reach these sites. We are not sure why these sites are there. We have found sites where you expect on the valley floor with the farm land. One spot is 1,200 feet up. There are a few pot holes there, enough water for a few days after rain, but they had to haul water up there. These sites were used for a long time. There were mutates (corn grinders) that were worn out at the bottom. We are testing to see what the environment was like back then. This past year we have taken core tests of the mud. The charcoal frequencies date the fire history back 2,000 years."
Metcalfe indicated corn leaves a specific signature and corn remains in Range Creek date back to 1200 AD. More carbon samples will be taken this next year. Core samples can be taken anywhere to determine the depth at which they were farming.
Metcalfe said a lot of what they have learned about the Fremont in Range Creek is new. Range Creek is teaching new things. They have found very few artifacts at Range Creek. "That is an enigma of Range Creek. A lot of energy went into the construction to form large rock alignments. There is almost no midden there. Midden is the garbage they leave behind. We have found broken bits. At a site near Blanding they found three middens of garbage. In Range Creek there is very little midden. It looked like they planned on being there a long time, but then they weren't."
It's not clear why the Fremont left Range Creek, when it looked like they planned to stay.
Metcalfe said they have trained 70-80 college students at Range Creek from all over the country. They have trained in paleo and enviro. "It's an amazing place to train students. Range Creek is a huge opportunity for the state of Utah and Emery County to be on the forefront of what a college education should be. Being outdoors in this setting," said Metcalfe.
Kofford said UDOT is putting in a rest stop at Horse Canyon and informative panels will be placed there informing travelers of Range Creek and some of its history. He expressed his appreciation to the museum and the work they have done in Range Creek.
In other commission business they approved the management agreement between Emery County and Huntington Aviation for management of the Huntington airport. A county auction is set for Nov. 6 at the road shop.
Emery Telcom and Emery County entered into an agreement for a line between Long Ridge and the TV transmitter site on Horn Mountain. Emery Telcom will replace the current line with fiber optic cable. Bret Mills is the communication director for the Emery County Sheriff's Office. He said their long term goal is to be able to bring TV to Joe's Valley. Emery Telcom will run the fiber in exchange for a spot in the building on Horn. This arrangement will save the county $8-12,000. The county will have to buy the transducers for the FM. Later on if TV can go to Joe's Valley they can do that over the fiber. Mills said they met on Horn Mountain with Emery Telcom and looked things over and everything looked good. The Horn Mountain site is a main hook-up site for cellular service in this part of the state.
Emery County will contribute $15,000 for the San Rafael water shed study. All major water users are involved with this study and it is being funded from a variety of entities. The study will look at water use and if the new sprinkling systems are saving water and how much. It will look at storage questions and if the county needs more storage due to these water savings. Kofford said there are people down stream that want our water. This study will give Emery County answers to these water questions and more and will keep water in Emery County for agricultural uses. The water survey will take place in three phases.
The commission approved the money to conduct repairs to the elevator in the county building. The commission approved the right of way for the Buckhorn kiosk and information center along with a restroom at the pump house. The area can also be used for staging for search and rescues. Horrocks reported all the studies are complete and they have consulted with grazers and the site won't interfere with their cattle watering in the area.
There are openings on the planning commission and the nursing home board. Beulah Oveson resigned from the library board so there will be an opening there as well. The commission gave approval to begin advertising for these positions.
Under citizen concerns, Phil Fauver thanked the commission for the nice senior luncheon held at the Bear Creek campground. The county donated $250 and the commission donated $250 towards the lunch. BKs did the catering and the salads and desserts were donated. Prizes were also purchased for bingo.
Fauver said people have expressed concern over the cottonwood trees dying along the ditch banks because water is no longer running in the ditches. Kofford said it is a concern and the county will need to take a look at the problem. He has noticed the trees dying in Ferron. He said it could be the cost of progression. He thinks the canal companies are responsible and the problem needs to be addressed.
Horrocks reported on the things he has been involved in the last two weeks. He attended the governor's energy initiative which looks at energy for the next 10 years. Ted Wilson, the chairman of the governor's committee said he would take back to the governor the needs of Carbon and Emery counties to be allowed to continue in the extraction industries. He attended Sen. Orrin Hatch's summit on economic development. All three commissioners attended the flag ceremony for Peach Days which was a touching tribute to the armed forces. "We would like to compliment Ferron City on that program," said Horrocks. An end of season lunch was held for county employees. The sheriff's office helped with the Little Grand Canyon Marathon and it was a job well done. The public lands council continues to work on a land use bill. Horrocks met with the fire chiefs and the burn window for fall was set. Sept. 25-Oct. 24 for the western end of the county and Oct. 2-Oct. 31 for the Green River area. Those wishing to burn must obtain a burn permit from their respective city. Burn permits are free.
Sheriff LaMar Guymon reported 502 people were registered for the marathon. Of those, 414 completed the race, there were three categories including the full marathon; half marathon and 10k. The race started at 6:15 a.m. and the last runners finished around 3:30 p.m. There were 41 visitors from other countries. Thirty-one different states represented and 11 runners from Canada and 42 local participants. The registration began in Carbon County on Friday and continued at the Huntington Park on Saturday morning. The runners commented on the beautiful flower pots in Huntington. They had nothing but praise for the beautiful area they had to run in and Sheriff Guymon reported he had several positive comments about our county. The race brings people into the motels and eating establishments in the county. It is a positive event for our county which is likely to keep on growing.
Sheriff Guymon reported the Bureau of Land Management has given the sheriff's office a grant of $30,000 to buy a new vehicle for the desert patrol. Sheriff Guymon has also been negotiating the contract for the law enforcement in Range Creek. This will require an increase in staff of 1.5 officers to handle the extra patrol. A contract will soon be ready for the county attorney David Blackwell to review.
Kofford reported UDOT will hold one of their monthly meetings in Castle Dale and there will be a comment period time for local cities and residents on Sept. 16. Kofford attended the BLM RAC board and they met with the new Utah BLM director Juan Palma, the board looks forward to good things from Palma. He covered several subjects with the RAC board including grazing.
The food bank building construction is underway and the dirt work preparing the ground is taking place now. The remodel on the sheriff's office training room and offices for the ambulance director and communications director is underway in the metal building.
The care center remodel is nearing completion and an open house is scheduled for early October.
Fauver asked why there has been 105 change orders on the care center remodel. Kofford said it is a 45 year old building that was never updated. The original plans were not in depth enough. As the work began it became clear more needed to be replaced than originally planned for including an extensive upgrade in power. The south wing which is the newest part also needed upgrades not planned for including a new floor, linoleum, carpet, replace decking, insulation, new roof shingles and other unforeseen items. The county expected a cost overrun on the project. The original estimate was $1.28 million. The money from the CIB was $1.6 million and included an overage estimate. "We undershot it, but we have a facility that will go forward another 40-50 years. There are new people transferring there. I would like to compliment the staff and manager and everyone involved for a job well done. It will serve our citizens real well," said Kofford.
Horrocks reminded everyone of the Melon Days celebration. The work on the Green River Medical Center remodel is nearing completion. They will hold an open house ribbon cutting on Sept. 27. All commissioners will attend the Utah Association of Counties meetings in Midway.
The standard form agreement with Emery County and Broderick and Henderson for the construction of the new food bank building was ratified. A fee waiver was approved for a burial lot in Lawrence. A business license was approved for Trimac Transportation Central.
The next commission meeting will be on Sept. 28 at 9 a.m.

Boy does this take me back.
I honestly don't see why it has to be rape or anything similar to that. Madara has been shown to dabble heavily in cloning research (Hashirama and Zetsu). Also the prerequisites for being able to even possess Dojutsu and use it without fatigue was never fully explained it was only mentioned that Hashirama could. Like how Danzou used many sharingan's without massive chakra drain by transplanting his cells.
I doubt that a normal Uzumaki could simply use the Rinnegan as Nagato was able to without without fatiguing himself because if simply being from the Uzumaki/Senju clan could allow you to be able to use them even more efficiently than even the Uchiha could why didn't the Senju clan simply take the eyes of each Uchiha they killed for their own they could have easily killed them with their own weapons, or why didn't Orochimaru take sharingan and implant them in an Uzumaki and steal his body instead yet he insisted that he needed an Uchiha.
I think that it's possible that the Rinnegan are in a level of their own after all even Madara needed Hashirama's cells to even acquire it. I think that it may need both halves of the puzzle (Senju & Uchiha) to even work correctly I think its possible that using them might have even caused Hashirama some degree of strain after all even with his almighty cells he is still only one half of the six paths.
Nagato was special somehow whether it be that he was simply infused with Hashirama cells (seems a bit redundant on an Uzumaki) or is a Madara/Uzumaki clone created by the combination of his DNA with some Unknown Uzumaki.
On a side note I find it a bit funny that people were willing to look at how Minato/Naruto & Obito/Zetsu looked similar yet simply dismiss Nagato/Madara relation outright saying that Kishi's art style isn't that varied.

|In response to Re: Cracks in Kohler Fixtures
: Has anyone had bad luck with Kohler fixtures? I recently purchased 9 Kohler fixtures. All of the fixtures indicate cracks in what I would call the gray areas (or the unfinished surfaces)on the underside of the fixtures.
: I went ahead and hung the lavs because I don't think the cracks would present a leak where they are located, but they are close to the lower mounting hole locations and that worrys me.
: I hung a urinal and flush tested, no leaks. An hour later I found a puddle beneath the urinal. Water was filling up a fist sized cavity that is adjacent to the bowl. Upon closer inspection, there is a crack in the corner of this cavity letting water from the bowl seep out. I inspected another urinal and found cracks in the same location.
: These cracks appear to have occured when the fixture was manufactured. Infact, some of them are covered with some kind of coating applied by the manufacturer. I am not a plumber by trade, but I am wondering if this is normal. In my business, (structural steel fabrication)cracks are not normal and they usually don't result from bad luck, but rather from carelessness in manufacturing.
: Since I am not a plumber and don't purchase regularly from this plumbing supply house, I would like to have some input from the professionals before I return the fixtures.
: Can anyone advise?

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said.

Five-month-old Flynn pads through the halls of Highlands Ranch High School with a calm that belies his age, his furry blond brow wrinkled in what appears to be studious concentration.
In fact, his teenage trainer believes he's scanning the floor for scraps of food. It's among the most challenging aspects of bringing a guide dog puppy-in-training to a high school. But a high school — rife with sudden movements, noise, food, odors and the loving hands of students — is an ideal place to train an animal that must learn to filter distraction, believes junior Melissa Petrick.
Petrick, whose family has raised two other guide dogs, also likes the novelty.
"I bring him to school because it's fun," she said.
And not only for Melissa. Despite a vest that clearly identifies Flynn as a trainee, many students can't resist the lure of a puppy.
"Some kids don't understand they're not supposed to pet them," Melissa Petrik said. "But most of them are pretty good about him being here."
Flynn is a candidate for future service with Guide Dogs for the Blind, a California-based organization that provides guide dogs to the blind or visually impaired. He is the third guide dog the Petrick family has raised, each time returning the dog to the agency after about a year of housing, training and loving it. The young dogs then are enrolled in formal training; only about 60 percent graduate and are placed with people who need them.
Melissa Petrick hopes Flynn is among that group.
"You want them to make it through the program," she said. "When they graduate, we get to meet the blind people. They're so cool and so thankful. That's such a nice feeling."
Melissa Petrick first had to get permission from Principal Jerry Goings to bring Flynn to school. Goings didn't hesitate.
"You can say `no' to a lot of things, but then you miss out on some many educational opportunities," he said. "What kinds of opportunities are there for high school kids to have that kind of impact on society? The responsibility, the whole idea of paying it forward? I think it's pretty amazing."
So does Melissa's mom, Tina, who readily agreed when her daughter asked to take a lead role in Flynn's upbringing.
"I think volunteering and working for a greater good is an important lesson," she said. "I feel it's important for Melissa to do that, and to model it at school."
The Petricks are co-raising Flynn with Cindy Barnard, who also lives in Highlands Ranch. The three of them meet regularly with Lone Tree's Dru Anne Marshal, a guide dog puppy-raising leader who guides and assists volunteers.
There is little she can do, though, to prepare them for the day the puppies return to Guide Dogs for the Blind.
"I will tell you that it never gets easier," Marshal said. "That could be why I'm raising my 19th puppy. It takes a bit of the sting out of it to give up a puppy and get a new one right away."

Frist Browns are the Baltimore Ravens. The carpetbagger Art Modell was born in Brooklyn NY and some of his family graduated from my High School in the 40s.ReplyCancel
Craig Ferguson should be A+ but probably isn't and I doubt is into 12 year olds. Could he have been all smiles and flirty when a 19-year-old was fangirling him somewhere? Sure, why not.
Jon Stewart was born in NYC, raised in New Jersey. And he will go Full Jersey on you.ReplyCancel
Guys- I think it's someone older. I know a lot of Enty's clues we take as "-ish," but take a legal gal (18, ok that's my assumption #1, could be wrong) and multiply times 4 and you're looking at 72.

Search for well water not in vein
May 13, 2003
John Gordon "Spud" Greaves homesteaded southeast of Elida near Nobe in 1907. He was the father of Gordon Greaves, late publisher of the Portales News-Tribune.
This is his story:
"With the passing of 1908, we had consumed 80 days in water hauling, and decided if we were to remain on the homestead, that we would have to drill a well. Judson Hunter claimed to be a water witch and offered to come over and locate a vein of water."
"The water witch came over with a forked switch off an apple tree to make the survey. About 50 yards north of the dugout, he said that water would be found. Next step was to locate a driller. Money was running low; there was only enough left to drill a well to 150 foot. J. W. Reed of Elida took the contract and moved his drill in.
"Weeks of drilling passed the 150 foot level without a sign of water. From day to day, we let him go deeper on credit. Cattlemen would come over and advise us to quit wasting our money, as there were 40 dry wells in the radius of two miles.
"We kept on drilling, and in February were down to 200 feet, and the drill struck a hard boulder. You could hear the drill ring at every stroke for a distance of half-a-mile. Drilling was continued on this rock for two days.
"The wife was begging us to stop as we were now flat broke and going deeper in debt with every stroke.
"Early one morning before breakfast we went down to stop the drilling and instructed Reed to quit as soon as we went through the rock. When noon came, we didn't go to dinner but sat watching that drill. Our courage was sinking fast.
"About 3 in the afternoon, we noticed that when Reed put six buckets of water in the hole that he drew out 12. We asked if he had not hit some moisture. 'Nothing but a sweat' was the answer, and he let down more water and started drilling again. In about 15 minutes he drew out the tools and started slushing out. The water became clear and he told us to roll up every barrel available. We had struck water!
"The wife came to the door and called for us to come in and eat something. She had spent several hours in tears as our money and credit were sinking into what she believed to be a dry hole.
"The drill, on piercing the rock, had dropped eight feet into as fine a stream of water as one ever saw. After that our homestead became a mecca for homesteaders and freighters from as far south as Lovington."
Many said the Colt revolver and the Sharp's buffalo rifle had to be given the credit for taming the West — but it was the windmill that settled the West, providing life-supporting water to the rancher and homesteader.
Don McAlavy is a history buff who lives in Clovis.

Tomato Braised Beef Brisket with Greek Style Creamed Spinach
Download Recipe (PDF)
4 # Beef brisket, trimmed, cut into 8 oz portions
2 ea Yellow onion, diced
1 c Garlic cloves, peeled
¼ c Oregano leaves
2 c White wine
8 c San Marzano peeled tomatoes, crushed by hand
1 c Leek, chopped and soaked in water
1 # Fresh spinach
3 c Greek style yogurt
1 ea Lemon, zested
2 c Feta cheese, crumbled
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper
For the beef: One day ahead of cooking, season the brisket well with salt and pepper. Cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours. Preheat the oven to 325. In a dutch oven, heat 3 T of oil and carefully place the brisket. Cook until well browned on all sides. You will need to work in batches; do not overcrowd the pot. When all the beef pieces have been nicely browned, add the onion to the pot and stir. Saute on medium heat 5 minutes. Meanwhile, roughly chop the garlic and add it to the pot. Add all but 2 T of the oregano leaves to the onions and garlic, along with the white wine. Cook until the wine has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes and their liquid. Bring to a boil, check for seasoning, add the beef, and stir to cover. Place the dutch oven in the oven for 3 ½ hours, or until the beef is very tender.
For the spinach: In a 4 quart pot over low heat, sweat the leeks with 1 T of olive oil and a pinch of salt. The leeks will slowly release their moisture and concentrate their sweetness. When fully translucent, add the spinach, another 2 T olive oil, another generous pinch of salt and stir. The spinach will cook down, evaporate the moisture that exudes from the spinach. When the water has evaporated and the spinach is soft, add the lemon zest, remaining oregano and feta. Cook slowly until the flavors combine, about 5 minutes.
To serve: divide the spinach among 6 warmed, wide bowls. Place a portion of brisket in each bowl, topped a couple of spoonfuls of tomato braising liquid.
Serves 6

I don't think it was a flash from the tree, more like the moon coming out from behind it's cloud, and from that view the tip of the tree is directly in front of it.
I don't think it was a flash from the tree, more like the moon coming out from behind it's cloud, and from that view the tip of the tree is directly in front of it.
Why is the tree still there in the first place? Shouldn't it have crumbled or something after the bijuu were extracted? Or is it no longer active now? And I still think Obito should have died from having his Bijuu extracted, but then again Obito might be dying, its hard to tell.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
If Hashi gets beaten, fine, but god I hope the battle is covered in the manga, and it doesn't start with Hashi beaten and Naruto meeting a new powered up Madara. Nice chapter to close of the Obito arc.
Too bad the jinchuuruki don't come back to life. Anyways, back to the battle that actually matters - Madara. I hope Kishi powers up this guy to maximum so I can see Hashirama at his best. I've lost interest in other characters.
Currently reading/watching:
One Piece, Naruto, Shingeki no Kyojin, Kenichi, Hajime No Ippo The Rising, Hunter x Hunter
I liked the Team Minato reunion, but it was SO overdue. We've needed this sort of interaction since the moment the Hokages were revived. While this was good, and it was nice to see Obito and Kakashi finally level with each other, I can't help but feel this reunion could have been better spent adding life to previous recent chapters. All the wasted chapters fighting Juubi Spawn, or all the boring "We love Naruto" chapters following the Shinju's awakening... Any of these would surely have been better spent facilitating some fresh and meaningful closure or discussion rather than rehashing the same tired points or giving us half-assed filler action.
It's not that I hate this chapter or feel it was out of place, it's just frustrating to see this necessary and obvious reunion happening NOW when so many of the past 25 chapters have been pointless filler. After listening to either pep-talks or lectures literally every chapter, I wish this useful one either came earlier or was not preceded by so many.
Chapter is just OK.
So Naruto went up the tree to help Hashirama then why all Bijuus are just sitting on their ass*s and not helping Naruto in any way? What Naruto Gain by knowing all of their names or even having their small chakra they gave him? What gift Minato wants to give to his son? Where is Orochimaru after he just gave LITTLE small hand to the Third and then?
have so many questions but will ask only few.
I am conditioned to expect the worst when Madara battles off screen.
nevertheless I do look forward to Naru/Sasu confronting Madara, should be entertaining.
Not too happy about Kishi-san deciding to help him self to a well earned vacation though, how dare he not completely work himself and his assistants to the bone all 52 weeks of the year for our entertainment and adulation. 'Tis a bloody outrage it is, I've a good mind to take this to me local member of parliament, I will.
Madara is way beyond the level he was at when he fought Hashirama. With apparent mastery of the Mokuton, the Rinnegan, and the Eternal Mangekyou, he should be able to wreck Hashirama now but so far he seems to simply be holding him at bay. He said that he intended to step in and switch spots with Obito with the Sage technique but he didn't make any apparent effort to do so.
I am not surprised by the current state of events, so far the battle seems to be going as predicted with Obito being defeated but not killed by team Naruto and the Juubi being neutralized. I suspect that Madara will now escape somehow, possibly killing Obito before he goes and taking his Rinnegan. After Madara escapes I think he will meet up with Black Zetsu and get the full truth about what exactly has happened since his death. They will then return to his hideout and begin their new plans. Madara still needs his true body resurrected after all. I suspect he will use all of the resources Obito left behind to pick up where he left off.

Iskandar Malaysia, the first "smart metropolis" of Southeast Asia founded on principles of social integration as well as low carbon emissions thanks to a green economy and green technologies, is a potential template for urban development in emerging countries with burgeoning populations, international experts say.
Malaysia's ambition for the massive new Iskandar development: a model of sustainable development and an economic hub in league with Hong Kong and neighboring Singapore.
And Iskandar is already a powerful magnet for foreign investment, exemplified by openings of expansive new facilities of the UK-based Pinewood Film Studios, Asia's first Legoland theme park, and remote campuses of several western universities (including the UK's Newcastle University, Southampton University and Marlborough College, co-located in Iskandar's 140-hectare "edu-city").
Ongoing creation of the new metropolis is the focus of special meetings of Malaysia's Global Science and Innovation Advisory Council (GSIAC) -- a unique assembly of all-star national and international experts created to inform and assist the nation's sustainable development. GSIAC is chaired by its founder, Prime Minister Dato' Seri Najib Tun Razak.
Iskandar has been planned since its 2006 inception as an environment-friendly, socially-responsible metropolis, demonstrating innovations many international experts consider essential for meeting the growing challenge of 21st century urbanization.
Separated by the Strait of Johor from Singapore and three times the area of that city state, Iskandar covers 2,217 square km of land on the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula -- comparable in size to the African island nation of Mauritius or Luxembourg in Europe.
Iskandar's population of 1.3 million people in 2010 is expected to reach 3 million by 2025.
"We envisage in Iskandar Malaysia a mixture of skyscrapers, high rises as well as low-carbon, self-contained cities, townships, villages and neighbourhoods," says Datuk Ismail Ibrahim, Chief Executive Iskandar Regional Development Authority.
By 2025, he adds, the anticipated GDP of Iskandar will be US $93.3 billion, a 465% increase from 2005, and a per capita GDP of $31,100, a 210% increase.
Datuk Seri Zakri Abdul Hamid, Joint Chairman of Malaysian Industry-Government Group for High Technology (MIGHT) and science advisor to the Prime Minister, says Malaysia is determined to become a high-income country in an environmentally-responsible way through the creation of "smart" urban areas and villages.
Says Ellis Rubinstein, President and CEO of the New York Academy of Sciences (NYAS): "Malaysia's Iskandar 'smart metropolis' seeks to offer a model to countries needing to accommodate the social and economic needs of fast-rising populations and environmental challenges."
Together, Dr. Zakri and Mr. Rubinstein head the GSIAC secretariat.
"Seldom has any country ever had the opportunity to create a complete urban metropolis of this size virtually from scratch," says Dr. Zakri. "This massive Malaysian project is benefitting from the best proven ideas in sustainable development shared by renowned world experts via the country's unique Global Science and Innovation Advisory Council."
MIGHT President Mohd Yusoff Sulaiman notes that over 600 initiatives are being pursued under more than 20 blueprints so far (http://bit.ly/TCxCmf) covering every aspect of Iskandar's development, including environmental planning, energy efficiency, land use, housing, community safety, social infrastructure, education, tourism, business development, communications, road design, public transportation, maintenance, and solid waste, stormwater and shoreline management. The Low Carbon Society blueprint is scheduled for launch at the 18th Conference of Parties to the UN Convention on Climate Change next month in Qatar.

To be fair, its hard to say what the sharingan is capable of copying anymore. Kishimoto himself seems to have forgotten how the sharingan derived its name. Based on the original explanation both every character with the sharingan should have a multitude of techniques that they have never shown in combat. As it stands now, it is really hard to know what the sharingan is capable of copying because Kishimoto has basically ignored the sharingan's copying abilities for the majority of the series.
Personally, I would agree that it would be common sense to assume that Kakashi could perform the hidden mist technique based on how easily he copied other techniques early on it the series. However, it is difficult to say for certain because the Hidden Mist technique was basically used to block his sharingan, so it is difficult to say whether he was able to copy it. With that said though, we know that Kakashi can copy techniques and has copied over 1000 techniques. We haven't seen him use nearly that many so for someone to say that he cannot use it just because it hasn't been shown is if anything more baseless than to say that he definitely can't use it. We have to assume that most characters with the sharingan have more techniques than the show and simply choose not to use them because that is the nature of the sharingan. Notice that in most battles Itachi doesn't use water techniques at all but we know that he can use them and he has probably copied most of Kisame's because that is how the sharingan has been defined to work. Another example is Nagato, in the manga he is almost never shown using elemental techniques at all but we have been told that he can use every element and could learn every technique he was shown easily. Based on that I would say it is safe to assume that he can use most of the common water, earth, fire, and wind techniques.
So to answer the question, I would say, it is true that we cannot say for sure that Kakashi can use the hidden mist technique but based on the sharingan's ability to copy techniques and the fact that Kakashi seemed to copy all of Zabuza and Kisame's other water techniques with ease, it is not unreasonable to assume that he was able to copy the hidden mist technique. Also we have been told that he has copied 1000 techniques and well over 90% of those haven't been shown, so saying that because he hasn't been shown using it he must not have it, is an invalid argument. Kakashi likely doesn't use the technique because in most situations it doesn't support his fighting style. Kakashi relies heavily on his sharingan and keen vision, so using the hidden mist technique would impair many of his greatest strengths. In the case of Zabuza the hidden mist technique suited his skill set very well because he had excellent hearing and relied mostly on sneak attacks.

May 2010 E-News Brief
THREATENED: Corpus Christi Memorial Coliseum
The ongoing fight to save the Corpus Christi Memorial Coliseum in Texas reached another impasse with the Thirteenth District Court of Appeals reversal and mandate to allow demolition of the building. While demolition of the coliseum is currently taking place, a Texas review board agreed unanimously last weekend to send the nomination to the Texas Historical Commission and the National Parks Service for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. DOCOMOMO US/Mid-Texas has been advocating along with the Friends of the Coliseum to block the demolition and allow time for the building to be considered for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
The new ruling and mandate by Justice Dori Contreras Garza allowed demolition work to begin last Friday. If the Corpus Christi Memorial Coliseum is determined eligible for listing on the National Register it could take weeks to process the nomination at the national level. By that time if the building is demolished or compromised, the nomination process will be terminated. As of today, demolition of the Coliseum continues to move forward with asbestos removal and the City anticipates structural demolition could begin toward the end of the week.

The DOCOMOMO US/NOLA is continuing their advocacy to save the modernist Phillis Wheatley Elementary School in New Orleans. Designed by Charles Colbert in 1954, this cantilevered building has been shuttered since Hurricane Katrina and is currently under threat of demolition.
The School Facilities Master Plan of Orleans Parish has consistently threatened to eradicate important mid-century modern public schools from New Orleans' historic neighborhoods. From the outset, DOCOMOMO US/NOLA identified Charles Colbert's Phillis Wheatley Elementary as one of the most architecturally significant buildings of the twentieth century. The Federal Emergency Management Agency assessed the building as eligible for the National Register, thereby triggering the National Historic Preservation Act's Section 106 Process. The NOLA Chapter -- in an effort to save the building -- agreed to participate as a Consulting Party in the Section 106 Process.
Since the NHPA review process began, the World Monuments Fund has cited the structure for its 2010 Watch List, referring to it as an "architectural gem unique to New Orleans." As public support for adaptive reuse has grown, the Louisiana Recovery School District (RSD) has acknowledged that Wheatley is not a generic twentieth-century building and deserves to be considered carefully. The hiring of Holly and Smith Architects to assess the feasibility of adaptive reuse is an acknowledgment of the building's importance. In fact, Wheatley is the only Orleans Parish School Facility which the RSD has considered for adaptive reuse. The successful renovation of Charles Colbert's McDonogh 36 School by the Early Childhood Family Learning Foundation demonstrates the feasibility of adaptive reuse for mid-century modern school architecture and provides a model by which Wheatley may be rehabilitated as a twenty-first century school.
INTERNATIONAL NEWS: Dennis Sharp (1933-2010)
We are saddened to report, Dennis Sharp, the British architect and joint-chair of Docomomo United Kingdom, died last week at the age of 76. Docomomo International writes, "His contribution to Docomomo has been very important and intense. We have learnt from his opinions, points of view, texts and works and therefore it is a great loss for Docomomo and the whole architectural community."
Along with his Docomomo work, Dennis Sharp was best known as an author, critic and teacher. His books include "Modern Architecture and Expressionism", "20th Century Architecture – A Visual History" and monographic studies of Santiago Calatrava, Connell Ward & Lucas and Kisho Kurakawa. He has taught and guest lectured at more than a dozen institutions world-wide and written countless articles. His practice worked on the conservation of buildings from the modernist firm Connell Ward & Lucas and collaborated with Santiago Calatrava on Trinity Bridge in Salford, Great Britain.
FOCUS: DOCOMOMO US/Florida
The most recent Florida boom had a brutal impact on many important post-war structures in the state. The Florida chapter of DOCOMOMO US was founded in 2007 to help battle such destruction, educating the public and professionals about the state's built heritage, and contributing to the documentation of important buildings, environments, and neighborhoods of the Modern Movement.
Since its discovery by Europeans nearly 500 years ago (and perhaps prior to then) Florida has attracted a range of people who dream big and think big – from visionaries and utopians to the just plain greedy. Their creative forces and capital built a state that, especially in the 20th century, reflects a unique and varied array of buildings, places, and landscapes.
The Florida Chapter has witnessed some important landmarks fall to the ground – most recently, Sarasota's Riverview High School, designed by Paul Rudolph. On the brighter side, the Chapter (especially founder Enrique Madia) contributed mightily to preserving two treasures: the Miami Marine Stadium and the Bacardi Building, both of which are now locally designated historic resources. In 2009, Miami Marine Stadium (1964) was listed on the World Monuments Fund's Watch List and on the National Trust for Historic Preservation's list of America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places. University of Miami students, working under Professors Jorge Hernandez and Hilario Candela, are producing plans for development of the site and reuse of the facility. Candela was a key figure in the original design team, nearly 50 years ago. Miami-Dade County has allocated an initial $3 million for preserving the structure and bringing it back into use.
DOCOMOMO US/Florida continues to offer interesting tours around the state. The chapter will be active during the AIA 2010 National Convention in Miami Beach in June, 2010, by providing tours in different South Florida locations. On Thursday, June 10th a tour will visit sites of interest in the Ft. Lauderdale city center and beach areas and will highlight important mid-century projects from civic buildings to commercial, residential and religious. The projects will demonstrate a range of building types designed between 1949 and 1979 by architects such as Marcel Breuer, Igor Polevitzky, Charles McKirahan, William Morgan, Robert E. Hansen, and Robert Law Weed.

At the AIA Convention, DOCOMOMO US/Florida Board Members Allan Shulman, Anthony Abbate, and Jean-Francois Lejeune will present a seminar entitled "Miami Modern Metropolis: A 21st Century Preservation Agenda." Shulman edited the recently released book Miami Modern Metropolis: Paradise and Paradox in Midcentury Architecture and Planning. A panel discussion, sponsored by Architectural Record, on the themes of that book is scheduled at the Bacardi Building, also during the convention.
Allan Shulman also co-authored, with Randall Robinson and Jeff Donnelly, Miami Architecture: An AIA Guide Featuring Downtown, the Beaches and Coconut Grove, just published by University Press of Florida.
Board member Martha Kohen is one of the co-coordinators of the Architecture Archives at the University of Florida. The collections held in the Archives support scholarly work for masters and doctoral students, provide materials for exhibitions and books, identify documents for historic preservation and restoration activities, and support for Docomomo in the defense of endangered modern structures and architectural tours.
Planned for the 2010-11 academic year are two new exhibits, "The Modern Masters' Fraternities in Gainesville," with work of Frank Lloyd Wright, Rufus Nims, and Gene Leedy and "Renderings by Alfred B. Parker."
This is the 50th anniversary of the Miami Beach's Lincoln Road pedestrian mall, which was designed by Morris Lapidus. To honor that achievement and to contribute to Lincoln Road's preservation and preservation and documentation, Florida Chapter volunteers are writing a nomination of this landscape to the National Register of Historic Places. Lincoln Road is expected to join the National Register by the end of 2010.

DOCOMOMO US/Florida and the AIA chapter in Jacksonville joined again for their third Modernism symposium and tour. The March 2010 event featured the work of Robert C. Broward, who cut his teeth working for Frank Lloyd Wright, and subsequently peppered the Florida landscape with creative and thoughtful structures that speak to the state's natural environment.
Architect, professor, and author Jan Hochstim, a big contributor to DOCOMOMO US/Florida during the organization's short life, has been appointed to the board of directors of DOCOMOMO US. His presence on the national board attests to the importance of our chapter and Florida to the umbrella organization.
Going forward, the Florida Chapter is planning a statewide Modernism event which will assemble different preservation groups from around the state at Lakeland's Florida Southern College – the only campus designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
For many architects, including the numerous registered architects in Florida, the preservation and planning for their own design legacy comes too late or not at all. When hurricane Andrew swept through south Florida in 1992, important architectural collections were either destroyed, severely damaged, or suffered significant loss. Unfortunately, the records documenting many of these architectural collections would have been all that remained of the buildings obliterated by the storm. This example clearly illustrates how the documents of our built environment would have taken on an even greater historical value, as many of the structures derived from these records represent the societal and symbolic meaning of our built heritage at a particular time in history.
For 2011, DOCOMOMO US/Florida is planning a symposium entitled "Influence and Legacy: Preserving the Architectural Records of Florida." This effort will be guided by board member Cynthia Peterson. Participants will learn about the significance of architectural records and how very often these collections represent the primary historical source material for the economic, cultural, and social history of Florida.

Another fun game for us all to play... I've played a variation of this on other forums and it tends to be a lot of fun. :D
Here's how it goes:
I post a word or phrase related to Christmas and the next person responds with another word related to that.
For example, I'll post: Christmas tree
The next person could post: lights
The next person could post: ornaments
And so on and so on... Got it? Ok, I'll start us off...

Skip to comments.Searching for what's still made in the USA
Posted on 07/17/2013 9:53:21 AM PDT by ToxicMich
Josh Miller never gave much thought to where his car, bed or toothpaste came from until an aluminum plant in his hometown of Ravenswood, West Virginia, shut down about four years ago.
The closure left 650 people without a job, including Miller's father-in-law, in a town of roughly 3,800, triggering a familiar pattern. The unemployment rate in Jackson County more than doubled, businesses shuttered and Ravenswood's quaint downtown became a ghost town.
(Excerpt) Read more at cnn.com ...
Didnt you get the message, free trade is good for the economy.
Not all Americans are made in America any more.
Welfare and gubmint employee leeches. We seem to have the biggest share of the world market on that one.
Yeah, everybody else all over the world is gonna buy our stuff! Too bad we don't make stuff anymore.
If I had the money I would start a chain of stores called "Made in the USA" and it would sell only items made here. Of course it is difficult to do since so many sub assemblies are made elsewhere so you woul dhave to define what is made in the USA and what is not by the percentage of parts and labor in the item. Would people be willing to pay the higher prices?
Simply put, through the unintended consequences of most Government policies, we encourage businesses to produce off-shore.
ifyou carried high quality, essential items, maybe. if they were throwaway things and such, maybe ot.
All of my favorite firearms are still made in America.
Marxist entitlement.
Nice idea, but where would you source your stock from? All I can find that is made in USA are plastics, simple metal castings and disposable items. In short, the kind of stuff that was made in Japan sixty years ago after the war. The stuff your grandfather called "junk".
We're working hard on turning us all into welfare leeches. We lowered our tariffs on imported goods and put our own people out of work. And neither political party has a clue how to fix it.
One hundret pre-cent American made by the liberal enslavement cabal of government, schools, media and entertainment.
Since our personal financial resource are not limitless, outsourcing has become the best way to produce more crap for the same price.
Stupid en sensless consumerism lead to this. There is no pride anymore in a well thought and well made product. More is better now. Bring back pride and you will bring back the economy...
Handguns, rifles, and ammo.
including our commander and chief.
I buy lots of stuff made in the USA.
'Course, I buy most of my stuff at antique auctions.
Yes it is. Unless you're a doomer.
Total manufacturing output in this country has more than doubled since 1975, but manufacturing employment has declined by more than 30%. Maybe the doomers should learn about productivity, and how increased productivity is the reason wages can increase faster than the rate of inflation.
Of course, it's a lot easier to be a doomer than it is to do some research.
There used to be a garment factory or shoe factory in many small towns across the US. That would be a start.
Walmart's founder (Sam Walton) served in the Berlin airlift. He learned inventory control and product logistics there, and used these things when he opened his retail stores.
He was quite patriotic and tried to sell all "Made in America" merchandise for awhile. But, he had to quit. The shelves were getting emptier and emptier as more and more USA factories closed down.
Here in Pittsburgh, a local sports-talk host, in the dog days of July when the Pirates had fallen far out of contention but Steelers training camp had not yet begun...spent his entire 3 hour show interviewing the son of the man who invented the Wiffle Ball.
Was actually quite a fascinating conversation.
Part of the problem is that Sam tied to force US companies to compete with foreign countries at foreign county prices. Instead of explaining that the extra dollar you pay for that shirt is going to go to a US worker, he wanted the US company to sell at below profit.
The horror!!
What good do low prices do you if you have no job. Like I said, he could have explained that his prices were higher because it was being used to keep Americans working.
"Welfare and gubmint employee leeches. We seem to have the biggest share of the world market on that one."
May I suggest lawyers, lawsuits, and prisons - America is in a league of its own.
Low prices are probably most important to people who are trying to live on savings or unemployment benefits while they find work. Even so, most Americans have jobs and they like Wal-Mart because shopping there saves them money, so they can get more bang for their buck. I don't know why some people have a problem with that. I suspect Sam would never have been caught telling his customers they had to pay higher prices to support some union or a company that couldn't compete.
Maybe you could ask big government to force all Americans to pay higher prices for all goods, not just those found at Wal-Mart, so that there would be more jobs. It's our collective duty, after all.
Are you just dense? Yes, I would pay higher prices to keep Americans working rather than some Chinese in a foreign sweatshop.
The customers patronize Walmart mostly because it offers low prices. Whenever Walmart has tried moving to higher price points the customers start shopping elsewhere.
I've talked to several well-connected folks at the remaining clothing factories to see what stands between them and reverting to US production. They all say the same thing: at the current price point and volume of mass-market clothing they could not afford to pay a US workforce, even with extensive automation. Moreover, the work force a the boutique plant is all Latino (read illegal), so they are really not on the same playing field. It is really frustrating. Unless you sell a product that you can make quickly in high volume with a small work force and can sell for many times what it costs to make it, you can't make it in the USA.
I talked to a guy years ago who was a buyer of men's clothing for Sears. He said that Sears bought a dress shirt for $2 and sold them for $30. I have no idea what the overhead was for the store at the mall. A lot, I'll bet.
Made in USA and Fair Trade Certified might be the best one could do to start such a store! Perhaps a co-op with a group of small investors could be started to get such a store off the ground...a single store front with an internet mail order business to start off with.
Really? That's the stuff I find that's made in China. The American made stuff I own is on the high end. I think this is one of those cognitive bias things, you find what you look for in the world. I buy quality regardless of country of origin, and find quite a bit of it is made here. If you think only crap is made here guess what kind of stuff you find made here. It's all about what you're looking for.
The same Jos. A. Banks now routinely advertises "any two suits in our store for $179!" So without adjusting for the considerable inflation in the interim, the Jos. A. Banks price point of 2013 is as much as 10% BELOW the price point of 1984. This isn't market forces at work. It is the result of the market being bypassed by companies employing slave labor.
Exactly. JAB is probably making more while selling for less than they were 30 years ago. All because they shamelessly exploit slave labor in some 3rd world country.
There are still many boutique industries in the USA manufacturing small amounts of upmarket products like firearms, timepieces and furniture. But I was referring to mass-market consumer goods that you would find in a typical store. You can find some US-made plastics like storage containers, hoses and sheet plastic products. There are still US-made metal castings to be found in the sporting goods, automotive and housewares section. But I challenge you to find ANY US-made clothing, shoes, small appliances, branded toys or electronics. You probably can't. Those are the items that make up the bulk of sales in any store. Not many stores have a business model that rides on sheet plastics and seasonal lawn care products.
Those workers didn't go into the back office or the board room when they left JAB. They went into dead-end service jobs or the unemployment line.
I found a nice set of pans at Tuesday Mornings last week. It takes me so long to enjoy that store because I check the "Made In" of everything. I, then, talk about it—LOUDLY and A L O T.
You have to define what "your typical store" is. The big box retailers push low cost goods, the American labor force is not conducive to low cost goods unless they require almost no man hours to make (very mass produced, highly automated). So if that's your typical store then yes you don't find quality American made goods there, you also don't find quality Japanese, Chinese or German made good there either. That's just not what they sell, they are low cost retailers, and low cost comes at a sacrifice of quality.
Now if you're not shopping in those places, but going to just SLIGHTLY more upscale places (like even Dillards) where cost stops being a primary driver and now you're getting higher quality goods, and you'll find your percentage of goods made in America goes up, because now the companies have a better margin to afford higher priced American workers.
So again it's all about what you're looking for, and where you're looking.
I can't understand why anyone would buy "Made in China" (or many other countries) items which come in contact with food. I figure that Germany, Great Britain, and the USA are the best at following safety standards.
Good point. I inherited much, and I'm hanging onto it. ;)
It tells you how inexpensive it is to make metal castings and extrusions, though. ;-)
OK, sure it sounds like a dumbass stupid thing to ask but the point is that we start with the reality that lower costs are good and higher costs are bad. My bet is that you got no argument there, and what you're really pushing is you want the rest of us to pay higher import taxes and you're disappointed that we don't want to.
fwiw, the problem is that you've been doing a poor job of convincing us while the rest of us have seen how tax cut's help America and tax'n'spending hurts America.
We need a new tax, that's the ticket. /s
So I do a lot of buying on the internet.
"If I had the money I would start a chain of stores called Made in the USA and it would sell only items made here"...
Brick and mortar store in here in Western NY:
I'll still pay more for USA made...I wish a national chain store would stock a good selection of USA made clothing. Online seems like it.
Not sure who this 'we' is you're talking about but America's been picking up speed:
US industrial output picks up in June
Wednesday, July 17, 2013 » 05:02amUS industrial production picked up in June after flat-lining in May. It's been helped by improved manufacturing output and a jump in mining. The Federal Reserve says production of manufacturers, mines and utilities rose 0.3 per cent in June.
That's in line with analyst expectations.
Manufacturing output rose 0.3 per cent, following a 0.2 per cent increase in May. The factory gains are due to a 0.5 per cent rise in the production of durable goods.
The quarterly data highlights the sector's struggles in a lacklustre economy.

Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.
A Moment in Therapy: A 48-year-old woman was slated to attend a black tie event, a fancy fund raiser for work; she didn't want to go. She spent her day consumed with thoughts about leaving work and going home to eat. Dr. Judith Ruskay Rabinor, an eating disorder specialist for over 35 years, had her client slow down as she recapped the story to have her think about her thinking process.
"Eating disorders are a thinking disorder," says Rabinor, founder of the American Eating Disorders Center of Long Island in New York City and Long Island. Rabinor, who considers her eclectic therapeutic style a mix of experiential, relational, spiritual, and practical, also notes an alliance with The Relational Cultural Therapy of The Stone Center. According to Rabinor's website, their philosophy states that a sense of inner connection to oneself, to others, and to the universe is a central organizing feature of human life.
"This connection helps people develop connections to self (thoughts, feelings, history), to others, and to everything this universe has to offer that enhances a sense of aliveness, vitality and joy. Rabinor bases her eating disorder treatment on psychoanalysis, feminist theory, cognitive behavioral therapy, and a wide variety of trauma treatments.

When it comes to discussing divorce with your children, you may be overwhelmed on where to begin. Plan the conversation ahead of time, thinking of questions the children may have and how you could answer them truthfully. It's best if both parents could be present when talking to your children about divorce. A child will find security in that, although their home life will be changing, both parents are still going to be actively involved in the child's activities and day-to-day life.
It likely goes without saying that this discussion is not the time for any snide remarks about the other parent. There are feeling of hurt and/or anger with every divorce, but it's important to present a united front of the children. Starting off with the children knowing that mom and dad may not want to be married anymore, but your love for them has not changed.
Don't Use Your Child as a Go-Between
As the divorce unfolds and you move on to separate households, resist the urge to use the children as a go between. Effective communication between the co-parents will prevent the child from having a larger role in the parenting relationship. It's better to call or email your former spouse directly, rather giving the responsibility of asking questions to the child.
Speak Positively about Your Co-Parent
No one said co-parenting was easy, but by putting your child's needs ahead of your own anger and hurt, you will continue to raise a well-adjusted child with a realistic view of relationships. There is never an appropriate time to speak badly about your former spouse in front of your children. Doing this will place the child in a position where they feel like they need to defend the other parent. It could also lead to them telling you less and less that is going on in their lives to avoid the conflict.
The best thing you can do for your children in a situation of divorce is to continue to work as a team with parenting decisions. Keep similar house rules, and if you are upset, take the time to discuss when the children are not around. Emailing is also a good option.
Make the Time
Whether have joint custody or another arrangement, take the time and make the effort needed to grow your relationship with your child. If you say you're going to call, then call. If you say you're going to pick your child up at a certain time, be there! In many cases one parent sees the children far less than the other, so make each moment count. Put all with electronics. Turn off your phone, and stay involved with your kids.
Children and resilient and will survive divorce, but as co-parents, you need to help ease this transition. Positive co-parents who show they can still work together have a profound impact on a child.

NFL Draft Report

Don't be surprised if Bills pick corner at 10
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Apr 17 2012 1:57PM
Almost every mock draft you see has the Buffalo Bills taking either a left tackle or wide receiver with the tenth overall pick.
If there's anything I can say about what might happen with the 2012 NFL Draft for the Bills, it's this: Don't rule out one position in particular just yet.
Cozy up with the idea that the Bills' pick has as good of a chance of being a top flight cornerback as it does of being an offensive tackle. While Riley Reiff and Cordy Glenn are options for the selection, both come with mysteries to their game.
In the case of Reiff, his short arms and some of his weaknesses on tape have some concluding that he's a better fit to play right tackle or to kick inside to guard. It's a similar problem to former Iowa tackle Bryan Bulaga, who fell on draft day and is now a right tackle for the Green Bay Packers.
As for Glenn, his size and arm length are great, but some feel the lack of starting experience at left tackle make him better suited for either right tackle or as a guard.
It seems like no matter which offensive tackle past Matt Kalil you bring up, there is a legitimate ding on his profile that makes you wonder if any are the answer for the blind side.
As for a wide receiver, unless Justin Blackmon falls to tenth overall, you can see the Bills pointing to the depth of the position as to why they waited on taking one.
If the Bills don't trade out of the tenth overall pick, I think taking a cornerback there makes a lot of sense -- considering who is out there.
With Drayton Florence likely on his last contract in Buffalo, Terrence McGee on his last legs and Leodis McKelvin on his way out the door at the end of this season, a very large need exists at the position.
Of course the Bills hope Aaron Williams takes one of the starting roles this season and for a long time to come, but adding another fresh face to the group could do them wonders.
Two names come to mind for who might be available at 10: Alabama's Dre Kirkpatrick and South Carolina's Stephon Gilmore.
Both players have the type of size that you'd want out of a cornerback, and both possess a very good physicality to their game. We'll start with Gilmore first.
Gilmore has risen up draft boards so much so that he's in play for the seventh overall pick. At 6-feet, 190-pounds, Gilmore blazed his way to a 4.40 forty-yard dash. That timed speed is evident on the field.
If he loses his man on a play, he has the recovery speed to go back and make a play on the ball. He also has the penchant for making a big hit in the open field -- sometimes to his detriment -- but will land some crushing shots as well.
As for Kirkpatrick, he's a long-time starter for one of the best defenses in the country. He's nearly 6-foot-2, 186 pounds and ran a respectable 4.51 forty-yard dash.
Kirkpatrick has been a steady first round lock since the college football season started this year. Once thought of as in-the-discussion for the top cornerback available with LSU's Morris Claiborne, Kirkpatrick has since fallen back only slightly.
He's a well accomplished zone-corner that is very good at putting a jam on receivers at the line of scrimmage.
In terms of who fits the Bills better if both were on the board, I'd have to give the edge to Kirkpatrick. Wannstedt will be running a zone look this year, and the Alabama corner has shown great instincts and recognition in that scheme.
Also, there's talk that Gilmore might not even be available by the time the Bills were to pick, so that obviously would render the conversation moot. However, both players have visited team facilities at One Bills Drive.
The type of value the Bills would get out of a first round cornerback, if they were to stay at tenth overall, would likely outweigh the return they'd get on one of the higher up offensive tackle prospects.
All of these factors feed in to my belief that cornerback is right there in the conversation for the Bills at 10.
