Skip to comments.Gingrich Explains Scozzafava Endorsement, Slams Right-Wing Critics (Flashback)
Posted on 11/14/2011 4:47:34 PM PST by parksstp
Newt Gingrich has put up a new blog post, responding to right-wing criticism for his endorsement of moderate Republican candidate Dede Scozzafava in the NY-23 special election, instead of Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman.

Wow! Did this happen? I hadn't previously read it four hundred thousand times here in the past two weeks.....(sarcasm intended). Newt Gingrich endorsed the Republican winner of a Republican primary! Gasp!
Which of our candidates endorsed Bill Clinton for President and said George W. Bush was "too Conservative" to support for President?
Anyone? (Hint: wasn't Newt)
Yeah sure why not? He is super cool in a debate. Who cares if he is an establishment guy. LOL
Scozzafava wasn't a moderate. She was a liberal. She endorsed the Dem in the race over the tea party candidate because the latter was not 'pro-choice'.
Thanks for the reminder. Blow off the Tea Party Candidate for a RINO.
Here Ya go:
Newt Gingrich endorses Dede Scozzafava in NY-23 House race

Like I was saying.
'Ginrich is as dangerous as a wounded wolverine'
Dan Rather
He voted for Clinton in 1992, the last year he voted for a Democrat. He voted for Bush in 2000.
For Newt, this happened in 2009, not over 15 years ago.
He said George W. Bush was "too Conservative" to support in 2000.
There was no Republican primary. Scozzafava was chosen by the GOP County Chairmen in the district.
And the selection method was reportedly abused...
I'm just sick of perpetual politicians who always think its their turn.
The point is, he supported the Republican on the ticket. No scandal.
I say USE Newt like a Talking Donkey....
Don't elect him... use him..
Newt is the smartest con-man in any room he enters. He's my 4th/5th choice up from near last. He was in the arena and did some good things (that was light-years ago politically speaking). I have not been overly impressed since his SOTH days. That being said, I would vote for him any day over Obama.

On the other hand there are so terribly many candidates it's hard to do that ~ so the New York state committee should have made sure people knew what she really was but they didn't.
Not having properly advised people they had a Changling on the list they should have all resigned and committed seppuku as soon as possible.
I think Skuzzyfuzzy ended up joining the New York Democrats.
That same district later on put a real Republican on the list in a later election. He won. Then he started offering his body to nubile young ladies on the internet.
See, it really can get worse.
In the marketplace of ideas - Newt has the best selection & great products.
However, the American people are searching the aisles for the most attractive gift wrap: nice hair, tall, good-looking, perfect wife, virtuous life, no runs, no fouls, no errors.
Theres nothing we dont know about Newt and he knows we know. Thats a good start!!!!
Except that most Republican voters supported the Conservative.
Reflexively supporting the County Chairmen -- in opposition to the voters -- ain't the smartest trick in the world.
Werks for Jug Ears!
Palin endorsed Hoffman, the CONSERVATIVE candidate in the race. Scozzafava got just enough support to got Hoffman the election. Therefore, Newt is culpable in that loss.
Knowing we know and CARING that we know is two different things. He is counting on today's words to erase yesterday's words and actions, and it seems to me he is counting on us having a very short memory...because it is what he WILL DO and not what he says that counts. And no one trusts what he will do.
He is prone to temper tantrums, cannot take criticism, lashes out, and his judgement is horrible. Not going there.
Move the goal post. It's okay. Imagine the impact had he endorsed the CONSERVATIVE?
Newt Gingrich is a serious candidate for serious thinkers experiencing serious issues. Ok, so maybe Newt is a moderate Republican, don't support him. However, his criticism of Obama is real, his love for this country is real, his experience is superior to any candidate, and he will run circles around Obama with his knowledge. He has supported a vast number of conservative candidates and bills in his vast number of years in the government. Be sure and scrutinize him for the handful of issues he didn't follow along right wing party lines, you will end up with Mitt McCain losing against Barrack Obama.
When it suits him, Newt resembles Scozzafava, a little liberal this, and a little liberal that, depending on what the Washington establishment likes at the time. He's a policy wonk who knows the joy of compromise.
It doesn't matter who Newt supports, or what progressive agenda he likes at the time. He isn't going to get the nomination, but he is right on time to be the Gingrich that stole Christmas again, this time as a spoiler for Romney.
No way Newt couldn't have known who Dede Scozzafava was. The whole mess had gone public well before he stepped in and volunteered his services. It was in the headlines all over the place.
Im just sick of perpetual politicians who always think its their turn.
"Wow! Did this happen? I hadnt previously read it four hundred thousand times here in the past two weeks"
Just like the poster with Newt sitting next to Nancy we have seen for three hundred thousand times in the past three weeks.
Look, seriously, no one expects real Republicans in New York anymore. They've all moved away.
I corrected a previous poster's assertion. I observed that Newt's position was a mistake -- which it was. I did not attack Newt.
So, why do you choose to assign motivations to me that I do not have?
Supporting a republican... aliberl one does not make newt a good guy. To the contrary. Newt is an inside the beltway republican.
Go ahead and nominate him. The real conservatives across this country will tear up the Republican party and vote for a third party candidate consisting of real conservative values.
We are done taking orders from you rinos and liberal republicans. Its over.
Newt will lose the general in a land slide.
Every candidate has done or said something I disagree with a some point in their life.
Sarah Palin is not running so I am going with anybody but Obama or Roomey.
Cain's inexperience is scaring me alot now.
Sorry. I was responding to the same poster you were and in error posted to you.
"Newt will lose the general in a land slide."
Hopefully, the Newt Naysayers took the time to watch his interview with Hannity this evening. What struck me was how much he has achieved for the American people, the distortion of the truth, and his humility. When asked, he spoke about what he was proudest of in his accomplishments, NOT ONCE did he say "I", it was always "WE."
It is going to be Newt or Romney. If you have seen the Cain/Lybia video from today, it is abundantly clear that Herman Cain is absolutely NOT ready, and has no chance in hell.
It is Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich. I suggest people make their minds up now between the two..... which I presume will be Newt.... and throw your support behind him. Tearing down Newt leaves you with Mitt Romney.
The Republican primary voters are the 99.999%. You Newt haters here are the .001% that actually know who De De Scozzafava is. No one else knows or cares.
Apology accepted. Carry on.
Without a doubt he is the best debater on the circuit. If he wasn't, I'd be disappointed. He's been practicing the second oldest profession for almost 40 years.
I don't need a guy in the WH who can govern....I've been governed enough.
There is a whole new generation of voters that know nothing about Newt's past - just what they see on TV.
Once his past is exposed, and I am certain it will be very soon, we will see how conservative voters feel about his political history.
He's old GOP Establishment. But if that's what the voters want a McCain comrade so be it.
You seriously support Dede Scuzzyflava? Really? Over the Tea party candidate?
Yeah, where have we heard THAT before.
Oh, wait, the DNC. Why are you here if you are telling us who we can or can't support.
Sorry dude, if Newt's really the best the GOP can do, that speaks volumes. Newt hasn't even won a state from Romney.
I'm not sure why you believe that Newt can beat Romney.
Don't support DeDe (Newt), Don't support Romney (Cain) and Don't support Bill Clinton (Cain).
Also don't support public employees having collective bargaining rights or Affirmative Action (Cain), or special tuition rates for the kids of illegals (Perry), or surrounding yourself with yes men (Santorum), or taking action on climate change (Newt), or States' ability to bypass the 2nd Amendment (Cain), or extramarital affairs (Newt).
The difference is, much of the Cain Cult refuses to admit their candidate ever actually messes-up, makes a mistake, or holds anything but the most conservative position POSSIBLE on EVERY issue known to man. It's utter crap, and it's showing with every blunder he makes.
Have you EVER made a concession that Cain messed-up? Not a fake "He should have attacked the media" type mess-up, but a REAL mess-up? Sure doesn't look like it from your last 1,000 posts.
There. Fixed it for ya.
Should he win the nomination, he will be even more so not Obama.
I know who the perfect candidate is for me, and that's me. Unfortunately, I feel that my write-in campaign would net me one vote, unless I decide to vote for somebody else to protest my own failure to run an effective campaign.

Skip to comments.Mona Charen: Republicans should prepare for the collapse of Obamacare
Posted on 03/22/2013 10:52:08 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
In my last column, I argued that for all the undeniable woes of the Republican Party, the unfurling of Obamacare represents a huge vulnerability for Democrats. The Democratic health reform bill is economically nonsensical and politically unpopular. A recent Rasmussen poll found that 54 percent believe the law will damage the U.S. health care system. Even among Democrats, support for the law is ebbing. In February, a Kaiser Family Foundation poll found that only 57 percent of Democrats (compared with 72 percent in November of 2012) support the law.
The battle over health care reform is not over. Yes, the 2012 election ensured that the law would not be repealed and replaced in 2013. But when the American people are unhappy with a policy, they find a way to alter it. Republicans can tie themselves in knots and consider abandoning their principles on abortion, taxes, immigration or marriage (and perhaps some of those positions require rethinking), but the health care issue is pitched right over home plate.
Nearly every American is intimately concerned with the delivery of health care. Choice and competition can deliver what Americans desire -- a quality product at an affordable price. Before offering reform proposals, Republicans need to be clear that they are not endorsing the status quo ante.
The pre-Obamacare health care system was not a free market for health care at all but a peculiar hybrid with distorting incentives created by bad government policy. Because the government set wages and prices during World War II, employers were not permitted to raise salaries more than a set amount approved by National War Labor Board. Employers resorted to providing fringe benefits, including health coverage, and the IRS approved this workaround by treating fringe benefits differently from wages. Thus was born the link between employment and health_insurance.......
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonexaminer.com ...
I believe a guy in 2018 (five years away)...will basically say that fifty percent of ObamaCare has been strongly modified or dumped. The number of people without health insurance? Probably just as many or more....as it was in 2008. Social scientist will try to explain how it never worked...talking mostly over high expectations and lousy understandings of the actual problems.
As for legacy stuff? There won't be much to brag about. By 2024, some idiot will stand up and talk about a defining way of providing health care...giving it some name of "Compassion 2025"...and we go through the whole experience again. The result will be a sixteen thousand page bill which is passed through the Senate in a matter of seven days.
Hoh! Really?
Mona, Mona, Mona!
yer name says it all but, alas, the wide eyed Kommies will be out of the White Hut by the time this collapses on itself and won't share the blame.
They will quietly slink off and twenty years from now, when this thing implodes like a roof with too much snow on it, no one responsible will be around to repent much have remorse.
They too will be adled by old age and need a teleprompter to get their speech out or an advocate to bar the doors from too much stress...
When it collapses, I can hardly wait to hear the wailing from the lame stream media and the WH on how it is all the fault of the GOP. IT IS A GIVEN.
If Republicans were smart they could kill liberalism for decades with the coming tidal wave of hatred that 0bamaCare is going to generate. But they're Republicans.
I'm sure the Stupid Party-as always-will struggle mightily to let us down...
Ran across a political science major nitwit who couldn't wait for Obamacare to 'kick in' so she could get healthcare. I tried to tell her that she could get that now. She got excited and asked how. I told her that Obama was only a law that made her buy health insurance, she could do that now. She was confused. She TRULY thought it was healthcare for all. I said "It is, it's a law saying you have to buy a health insurance policy, so I guess technically, you are right."
She was angry and I assume googling earnestly after our conversation because she didn't believe me.
So many idiots, so little time...
Well, the GOP is doing its part by funding it.
Not to worry....even if Obamacare goes down in flames the current slate of House and Senate republican leaders will find some way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Let us know. If you mean Obamacare will dump what it falsely calls it's health insurance, yep. Because there is no health insurance. Never has been. It's a scam. Now if you can tell us that the real Obamacare will be dumped with laws and hidden agenda we don't know about concerning taking over and destroying our country. When is this Obamacare going to be dumped and all the thugs associated with it?
When Obamacare comes into full effect, for those over 70 it will not matter whether or not they have insurance.
Certainly they will be paying for it,but if they get sick it will be denied them through the rationing panel.
Oh!!! You might get a little help for a cold , if you can find a Nurse practitioner, but if you get something that is lingering and costly to provide you may as well bend over and kiss your ass goodbye.
The GOP will do everything it can to save it.
'Prepared' Republican is an oxymoron.
Unsustainability and crippling financial devastation were built in to create chaos and bankrupt the country
Three simple changes are needed:
1. Give the same tax preferred benefit corporations get with health insurance to individuals.
2. Allow, via the Commerce Clause, interstate health insurance competition (this lets you escape the mandates of your state government & by default creates a customized insurance plan)
3. Allow, via the Commerce Clause, interstate medical competition. States have adopted licensing and permitting procedures that block medical professionals, hospital systems and health care systems from competing across state lines.
I'd add a fourth, but am not certain how to do it within the bounds of the Constitution. Make a public menu of medical prices.
You don't need health insurance. That's the wrong question. What you need is access to health care. The free market is the best method to lower costs and increase access.
What about adding to your list medial savings accounts?
However....Medical savings accounts assumes that their is an income tax and personally I would prefer seeing all income taxes ( federal, state, and local) abolished.)
Terminate Totalitariancare.
When the inevitable collapse comes, it will all depend on whom the sheeple pin the blame. So far, the sheeple are blaming the early fallout of ObamaCare on their employers and the insurance companies. If this trend continues, the lib/progs will be able parlay the anger and dissatisfaction into votes in 2014 and 2016. And I'm afraid it's all according to plan, because the American sheeple are just that dumb. So effin' brain-dead dumb.
Obamacare is doomed to fail. I have a great idea. Why don't
we have the government control all healthcare?
> "...consider abandoning their principles on abortion, taxes, immigration or marriage (and perhaps some of those positions require rethinking)..."
Uh No. No, Mona, these issues do not need any "rethinking". They are universally linked to the most important institutions and values of life.
Abortion —> Value of LIFE
Taxes —> FREEDOM
Immigration —> As in illegal residence, NATIONHOOD
Marriage —> MORALITY
We don't 'rethink' life, freedom. nationhood and morality. Rather we 'emphasize' them and 'pass them on' from generation to generation.
The rest of the summary of the history of the unholy alliance between employer and employee stemming from Roosevelt's folly is fairly accurate and informative but not new.
Charen's purpose is to steer the Stupid party away from the defining issues of life, freedom, nationhood and morality and towards Obama madness in health. Fine, but it always ends up with what are the Stupids going to do to replace Obama's con artistry?
The answer right now is there is no answer and there shouldn't ever be an answer from government. There are solutions out there in the private sector but investors are broke or jaded, entrepreneurs are abandoned or on hold and Obamacare is a roadblock to solutions. The government propped up by the Federal Reserve credit card is the only player at the table right now. Without this block, the solutions would come forward and people would see what works.
Why haven't these solutions come forward in the past pre-Obamacare?
Answer: Government interference and displacement of markets by Medicaid and Medicare. Government has already taken the controlling market share. It is difficult to undo what they have done which is to make medical delivery so expensive that the only answer is more government meaning more taxes.
The only way out of this tar pit is to grow the economy through a massive change in the tax code with the 'FairTax', then pay for the doctors and hospitals with emerging markets and reduce the market share held by government to zero with strict laws that government is not to ever interfere in health markets again. It can be done and must be done without compromise. To leave government involved in health even as a fraction of a percent is to leave cancer cells remaining after surgery only to come back later with a vengeance.
With this in place, when Obamacare collapses, single payer will seem the obvious "fix."
We will then reconstruct a private health insurance market outside of single payer for those who can afford it, as is typical in much of Europe. If necessary, the services will be provided abroad, and the U.S. will cease to be the world leader in medical care. There are many countries in Asia that will be happy to assume this role and cater to the carriage trade.
Concern yourself with the Collapse of the RNC who is no longer the GOP and has left us.
The question you should ask is who and what will replace them, because the current crowd to me ain't got the Moxie to give us a true market alternative to Obamacare.
This is the essence of the issue. And the GOP will go along with it complacently. All this other palaver is just whistling in the dark.
My mom was overseas when she turned 65, since she had health insurance through her employer she thought there would be no problem. Fast forward to when they finally decided to retire. Medicare wanted to FINE her for not signing up on time. She pointed out that she was overseas and had full health insurance. No matter.
She fought for a year and it only ended when her former employer got a lawyer and he had a chat with Medicare.
BTW her employer used to offer full health insurance after retirement. That can not do that any more. The best they can do is offer supplemental insurance and BTW that is considered taxable income.
Lovely system there.
I have had insurance all of my life.
It had a @250 dollar deductible and a $20.00 co-pay
No problem I didn't mind that at all
When I turned 65 medicare took over. I didn't ask for it, I didn't need it, It just took over.
I still kept my Insurance, because the supplemental was as high as the regular insurance, so now I have that and Medicare.
Now my fear is that Obamacare will ration me when I turn 76, and my regular insurance will be run out of business or won't pay.Or will get so expensive I won't be able to afford it.
I see some potentials for ending Obamacare as well as Medicare and Medicaid as they currently exist, but doing so while minimizing harm as much as possible.
To start with, turn administration over to the states with guidelines that are *not* mandatory. Payment in block grants only. States can add to, but cannot delete from the grants, and have strict limits on administrative costs.
Second, open up the federal law to permit "open season" medical care. This means cash only, no insurance, no Medicare or Medicaid for routine care only. Insurance allowed only for catastrophic health care. In exchange, physician and hospital liability is limited to "actual damages", and revocation of state medical licenses.
Third, offer tax advantages to not using emergency, Medicare and Medicaid, or any other government health care. If you *don't* use it, you get deductions whose actual value is slightly more than the medical costs.
Mainstream VA care, except for medical problems that exist mostly for service members, like PTSD and "war" diseases like Gulf War Syndrome, as well as prosthetics and rehabilitation.
Privatize the HIPPA record keeping, and put strict limits on what non-medical personnel can access it without a written unique warrant.
This list goes on and on, but it's a good start.
Boenher will cry as he waffles, caves and misses openings to destroy the opposition you could drive a drag line mining machine through.
Don't fall for that line. I did at one time but events convinced me differently.
If she qualifies as poor enough she will be able to get health insurance for free. She will have to fill out a 21 page application which comes with a 61 page instruction book. Getting health care insurance and getting health care treatment are two different things though. With doctors retiring or going cash only and millions of people getting their new free insurance seeing a doctor may become more uncommon than seeing a Sasquatch.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) uses appraisals to determine the fair market value of property involved in purchase, exchange, sale, and certain use authorizations of public lands. Prior to 2003, BLM staff appraisers and review appraisers prepared these appraisals. In November 2003, Secretary of the Interior Gale Norton, consolidated the real estate appraisal functions of the BLM, National Park Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, and Bureau of Reclamation into the Appraisal Services Directorate (ASD) located within the DOI National Business Center. ASD provided all appraisal services formerly provided by BLM appraisers.
In May 2010, Secretary Salazar, responding to suggestions from the four bureaus utilizing ASD, reorganized ASD into the Office of Valuation Services (OVS) within the Office of the Secretary. This reorganization also shifted the appraisal function from a regional structure with seven geographic regions to a client service team-based organization with each bureau having a specific team within OVS to handle their valuation needs. Another significant change was the inclusion of the Office of Minerals Evaluation (OME) into OVS. Previously, OME was within ASD, but separate from the real estate appraisal function. The incorporation of OME into OVS resulted in additional expertise in geology, mineral ecology, and mine engineering for the appraisal function and to better support the client bureaus.
OVS provides a wide range of valuation services including appraisals, appraisal reviews, consultation services, and minerals evaluation products for Department and client agencies that conform to the Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions (UASFLA), as appropriate for the assignment, and the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).
The BLM Client Service Team within OVS has 19 personnel including the Client Service Manager (CSM), Team Lead Appraiser (TLA), and an Administrative Officer (AO). There are currently BLM Team appraisers located in 9 of the 11 western states, with Washington and Arizona being the exceptions. One OVS appraiser is located in Alaska and shared by BLM, NPS, and FWS teams. The primary OVS offices for the BLM Team are Lakewood, Colorado and Portland, Oregon with satellite offices in Billings, Boise, Cheyenne, Las Cruces, Las Vegas, Sacramento, and Salt Lake City.
The BLM authorized officer requesting appraisal services is responsible for accepting and authorizing the appraisal to support a land transaction. In approving the OVS-prepared appraisal report, the BLM authorized officer agrees the report is credible and sufficiently supports the appraised value. The stated value serves as the basis for the realty action specified in the valuation request.
In addition to appraisal and appraisal review, OVS is responsible for contracting for valuation services. OVS Review Appraisers work with BLM realty staff and OVS contracting staff for each valuation assignment requiring procurement. The BLM and OVS Interagency Agreement establishes the valuation services process and contracting expenses reimbursement process.

It moisturizes more than a lotion, cleanses more profoundly than any soap, and promotes healthy skin in balance with nature, and in balance with the body it protects. Healthy skin may be habit forming! Soap, or anything that bubbles, isolates and removes molecules of oil from the skin. Conventional wisdom would have us replace that oil with lotion. The trouble with that approach is that all lotions are preserved with something, the only two real options are parabens or alcohol. Parabens are bio-accumulative toxins implicated in the formation of breast cancer and alcohol ultimately dries the skin. Non-GMO Soy lipids lock in the hydration and moisture for days. You are left with exquisitely smooth, silky soft skin. Pink Grapefruit - Refreshing & Juicy 97 % Organic Ingredients 100% Natural Ingredients Paraben & Phthalate Free Sodium L Sulfate & Synthetic Free Sustainably Handcrafted in the U.S.A Perfect Your Skin with Organic Body PolishBrilliant feeling and fabulous looking you! Exfoliating scrubs remove the dry dead cells at the surface of the skin and stimulate cellular regeneration, leaving you moisturized, radiant, and smooth. Used weekly, Organic Body Polish Natural Body Scrubs improve the skin's healthy function. This one step treatment rivals the hour-long therapeutic salt glow experiences that cost big money in luxury spas. Organic Body Polish out-performs all other sea salt scrubs hands down. Our ultra purified salt crystals are perfect cubes, with no sharp edges so they do not scratch the skin like other salt scrubs. They exfoliate gently yet effectively. Our fresh organic oil blend is fast to absorb, and rinses clean, unlike other salt scrubs which leave a greasy film on you and on the shower floor. Protect Your Body with Organic Body CareBeautiful skin shouldn't cost you your overall health. Other skin cleansers, exfoliating scrubs and natural body scrubs (yep, even so-called natural brands) contain a veritable toxic spill of petrochemicals and petrochemically processed ingredients. There are easy to spot synthetics such as DECAMETHYLCYCLOPENTASILOXANE, that the EWG tells us are neurotoxic and bioacculmulative. More hidden dangers lurk in innocent sounding "fragrance" which can contain phthalates that disrupt endocrine function and lower sperm count. Carcinogens, Hormone Impersonators, reproductive toxins can all be avoided. Organic Body Polish is a USDA Certified Organic sea salt scrub, leaving no question about the purity of our ingredients. We know you will be pleased when you experience your skin at its healthy best! OGbody Polish is the premier salt scrub made todayTrillium formulations have baffled the market since their arrival; sea salts perfectly shaped, moisturizing oils blends that deeply absorbed and quickly vanish into silky smooth skin that, when unimpeded by synthetics or soaps, can last for days. There is a good reason why OGbody Polish is not too coarse, like other "salt scrubs"Karen searched far and wide for a clean, non mineral salt that would allow a deep effective scrub. The salt she chose is purified down to pure sodium with only tiny traces of calcium and magnesium remaining. Because the salt is purified and screen sifted each perfect crystalline cube is the same shape and size. This consistency of size and gentle shape makes OGbody Polish salt seem round, but indeed each piece is a perfect crystalline cube that will never scratch the skin. Each edge is a perfect 90 degree angle, so there are no sharp edges to cut the skin. Many salt scrubs use mineral salts, which due to their processing or mineral content can have very sharp edges. Because our salts are properly shaped, a deep invigorating wash is had even on the most sensitive skins of the body, face included. Organic Body Polish will not leave the shower floor slipperyOGbody Polish is formulated with oils that bond with water, rather than resisting it. These cold pressed certified organic oils are formulated with Organic Lecithin to rinse easily from the bath and shower floor just as they are to rinse clean from the skin. Blended together for their quick absorption capacity they absorb quickly and deeply into the skin, leaving it supple and dewy, not oily and gooey. OGbody Polish moisturizes skin when it is prepared to accept itIn order to absorb moisturizers we must first remove the dirt and dead skin layer. Applying lotion to dry skin achieves little to nothing. OGbody Polish is a timely and logical skin care method, warm and hydrated in the shower. Our pores are open; our skin is hydrated; the dermis is ready to benefit from moisturizing oils. The oils literally lock the hydration into the skin, as excess oil is washed away. Trillium does not use sugar in OGbody Polishes for one very good reasonSugar feeds bacteria and yeast, salt is antiseptic and cleansing. Many people enjoy soaking in baths while Polishing. Soaking in a sugar bath would not be a healthy choice for women, while soaking in salt is a delightfully healthy choice for everyone. We however, understand that Sugar does not sting your legs after shaving, and for that reason many women choose sugar scrubs. We prefer to Polish first, liberating the hair, then rinse with cooler water, which leaves a layer of oils for a moisturizing, gentle shave which does not leave nicks and cuts that would potentially sting. Soap is different than a Cleanser"Soap" strips oil from the acid mantle (the outermost layer of the skin), Such removal of all fatty acids and oils is only sometimes necessary. Stripping of oils must always be followed by the application of some kind of moisturizer or else the skin is left unprotected to dehydrate. dry flakey ashey skin is the result of such stripping. "Cleansers" cleanse without stripping OGbody Polish is an antibacterial, antimicrobial cleanser that detoxifies the body as it cleanses away dirt, grime and dead skin. Nothing delivers a deeper feeling of clean than the properly shaped crystalline salt and purifying essential oils of OGbody (Organic Body) Polish. Salt purifies and detoxifiesWe really do 'eat' what we put on our skin: salt molecules are too large to absorb into our bodies when applied topically (those on a salt restricted diet need not worry) Salt draws toxins from the body and brings skin rejuvenating oxygen to the surface. Perfect for those on detox diets, changing diets, with aging skin, challenged circulation or just wanting to purify in support of their immune systems. A word about Radiation Detox If you belive that you have been exposed to radioactive particulate, first, remove all clothing, then take a shower and scrub with OGbody polish, or other abrasive method from head to toe. That is thought to remove 99% of any particulate that may have landed on you. If you believe that you have inhaled or ingested it, there are other ways in which to remove it from your body. Soaking in a hot bath of Baking Soda until it cools is one of the most widely written about. Certifications USDA Organic Certified Organic OCIA (Organic Crop Improvement Association) Green America (internal audits of sustainable practices) Campaign for Safe Cosmetics Coming Clean Organic Integrity (fully disclosing every ingredient) Leaping Bunny (no animal testing) Ingredients MatterTrillium Organics uses only safe pre-petroleum era inputs. In the modern world where downright dangerous, cancerous, hormone interrupting, or endocrine disrupting ingredients are in so many modern conventional personal care products, whether its on the label or not. Trillium Organics is an oasis of wellness and safety for you and your family. In order to avoid all "petroleum synthesized better living through chemistry " ingredients, they use exclusively ingredients which have an evolutionarily significant history of safe and beneficial use by humans, that is, pre petroleum era inputs. Trillium's Position on PreservationAt Trillium, they exclusively include ingredients which are both beneficial to the skin and safe for the health of the whole body. Their products are made as an alternative to conventional personal care which is made from many ingredients which enhance the performance of the product to the detriment of the skin and body. One example in particular of this is preservatives. The modern expectation of personal care is to last for upwards of seven years. That kind of shelf life is only achieved through using broad spectrum anti microbials such as parabens, phenoxyethanol, or other alcohols. Parabens have been linked to breast cancer, and phenoxyethanol and other alcohols ultimately dry the skin. All anti-microbials, by design, will kill micro-flora in the lotion and when applied, kill the micro-flora on the surface of the skin. The acid mantle or outermost layer of epidermis is host to a plethora of beneficial micro-flora which exist in balance and support the healthy function of the skin. The use of preservatives disturbs that balance. At Trillium they make products aimed at restoring and maintaining healthy balanced skin function. While all of their products have a shelf life of no less than 3 years, none of them include broad spectrum anti-microbials. How do they do that? Instead of mixing up oils with water (lotion) which readily bloom and adding a large dose of preservatives to kill bacteria, Trillium believes in blending inherently stable oil based formulations. They then focus on educating people to use them properly. Their oil based formulas, when applied to freshly washed skin, moisturize, nourish and protect the skin far better than any SLS body wash, synthetically preserved lotion or cream, or foam shaving cream. About Trillium OrganicsKaren Ciesar is committed to making healthy organic products for her family, and yours. Trillium Organics was founded in 1994 by Karen, when she traded up advocating for women's rights as an attorney to educating and providing women with safe, non-toxic personal care options. After watching both of her grandmothers fall prey to cancer, she hoped that her own children could enjoy a healthier life from making healthier choices. One small problem, in 1994, Organic personal care was an unheard of concept, and the toxic dangers of conventional personal care were not very well understood. Starting with Calendula infused, Baby Bottom Balm, she set out on the quest to create a clean safe product that would replace toxic body wash and lotion. It took three years of bathing in everything organic from coffeegrounds to oatmeal that resulted in Organic Body Polish. That first product that 'does it all", remains the cornerstone of the company. Today, Trillium Organics is still a small company of dedicated women, still making each product in small batches and pouring them each by hand. Yet now, their products are sold all across America, in China, Malaysia, Brunei(soon), Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia, India, England, Colombia (soon). They are thrilled with the globally growing enthusiasm about living healthier lives. It is a dream come true to create and provide products that help people realize the joy and beauty of healthy skin. The Trillium Organics Vision They dream of a world in which Organics and sustainable agriculture and production is the norm, and conventional petrochemical farming and formulation is remembered as an ignorant mistake. They dream of a world where children can safely eat any food they are offered, without fear of sickness from additives, pesticides and GMO's. A world in which taking a bath is a delightful, healthy, life affirming treat rather than a toxic dip in hormone impersonators, endocrine disruptors and carcinogens. The Trillium Organics Mission To educate people about the importance of making healthier personal care choices for themselves and their children. To create Certified Organic and authentically pure formulations that leave people feeling fantastic and vital, confident that thier glowing skin didn't come at the cost of thier life long health. To help people to experience welcome relief from challenges like the rash from chemical sensitivity, psoriasis, eczema, acne or dermatitis.

Bachmann Campaign Proves That 'Piece of S—' Media Is Biased
Before yesterday's Battle of Spartanburg—aka "another goddamn Republican presidential debate"—Michele Bachmann's campaign intercepted a terrible email from a CBS staffer stating that Bachmann wouldn't be asked as many questions as the other clownidates because she's polling at four percent and will lose. Vulgarity ensued.
The terrible offending evil-mail was written by CBS News political director John Dickerson to a fellow CBS staffer who'd fielded an interview request from Bachmann's campaign. Dickerson didn't realize that Bachmann's spokeswoman was being cc'ed when he responded that sure, an interview was possible, but "let's keep it loose though since she's not going to get many questions and she's nearly off the charts in the hopes that we can get someone else." Bachmann's spokeswoman saw Dickerson's email, went "oooooooh," then forwarded the message to Bachmann, who proclaimed it "an example of media bias."
But those weren't the strongest words to issue forth from the Bachmannites, CNN reports:
Furious with Dickerson's response, Bachmann's campaign manager Keith Nahigian stormed through the spin room, where he said, "John Dickerson should be fired. He is a piece of shit. He is a fraud and he should be fired."
Should John Dickerson be waterboarded? Someone help me decide. Meanwhile, Bachmann just became the Ralph Nader of this election.

That's kinda sad....
LOL for real? Just because someone agrees with another post means they have to be the same person?
Not what I mean. when I looked at the post that you quoted, I didn't see anyone's name except yours associated with the quote, hence why I assumed you had literally changed your name after you quoted yourself to make it seem like you are agreeing with someone else. However, since the username change seems to have retroactively changed the quoted user's name as well, the ruse fell apart immediately.
Torchlight 2, Guild Wars (the original), Skyrim and Civ 5.
With MMO's being a choice between EVE, ultra-niche games and the rest 95% geargrind MMO's I simply choose to spend my money on other things.
We dont need casuals in our games!!! Errm... Well we DO need casuals to fund and populate our games - But the games should be all about "hardcore" because: We dont need casuals in our games!!!
(repeat ad infinitum)
Rainbow Moon - a fantasy turn based tactics style RPG for PS3....old school and fun.
Age of Wushu - a nice change from standard themepark MMOs.
Diablo 3 - on the weekends if I'm completely wasted.
TSW - because for some reason the only title which keeps me motivated and I love the immersion
Game Cube "Rogue Squadron II" on Wii - because SWTOR space combat was so bad, I needed my SW fix elsewhere
Wing Commander Saga - in preperation for Star Citizen
Secrets of Dragon?s Spine Trailer.. !
Best MMOs ever played: Ultima, EvE, SW Galaxies, Age of Conan, The Secret World
GW2 for MMO action as I like the world, skill system, combat and events
and a couple of sides orders of Darksiders (the original before I play DS2) DS is fun action game with a mad combat system and lots of punching pedestrians in the face, nicking cars, punching villians, smashing cars up, punching more pedestrians, getting pissed, punching lampposts while pissed, all in GTA IV.
This doom and gloom thread was brought to you by Chin Up the new ultra high caffeine soft drink for gamers who just need that boost of happiness after a long forum session.
TSW - Just here for some PVE and finish quests/achievements in Trans. I'll be done until after a few issues (content patches) get added.
EVE - For PVP and meta gaming. I have a strange relationship with this game, I love EVE, but I only play for a few months at a time. I don't know why.
Normally, I rotate through, EVE, AO, AoC, EQ, DCUO, betas, and WoW (haven't played the expansion yet) over the span of a year.
Playing: 3D chess while while others play checkers.
Censorship is intended to create an illusion that one side of the debate is correct and unopposed. Silence is not consent.
Splitting my time between:
The Secret World - When my wife isn't around to play.
Guild Wars 2 - When she is.
Looking forward to: The Repopulation. Excited to play in an actual world and not a themepark again. It's been a while.
Played: AA, AC1, AC2, Aion, AO, AoC, CO, CoX, DAoC, DCUO, DN, EVE, EQ1, EQ2,
ESO, FE, FFXI, FFXIV, FF, GW1, GW2, Istaria, L2, LoTRO, MO, MxO, NW, Rift, RoE,
Ryzom, SB, SWG, SWTOR, TERA, TSW, WAR, WoW, WURM...
85% Guild Wars 2 with my gf, and still unfinished the PvE content and in WvW there is pretty fun ...
5% World of Tankscause i love tanks !
5% Dota2 sometimes just to remember old days
5% Shogun 2 only the campains although the multiplay is pretty active and nice wortking : )
"If I offended you, you needed it" -Corey Taylor
EVE. because I can mine and build dreads
"Small minds talk about people, average minds talk about events, great minds talk about ideas."
Playing some FarCry 3 every now and then, that's about it.
I wish i could go back to the old times, playing WoW and Rift with my friends. They all quit, life took them elsewhere and we lost contact.
Couldn't go back to these games all alone and i find it too hard for me to socialise these days.
Guess i grew out of gaming.
Diablo 3: Because I enjoy it
Far Cry 3: Best FPS I've played in quite a while.
TERA: Because En Masse is awesome and gave me game time until February, after which it goes F2P. I will continue to play solely because of that (and the game is fun once you get past the banal questing).
Path of Exile: I will be playing this after the wipe. It's not as good as D3, but has some really good ideas and I want to support a small company which has obviously put a lot of effort into the game.
Drunken Robot Pornography: Game is as fun as a basement full of doped-up asian college girls. Not that I would know anything about that... infact, pretend I didn't say that. Although speaking of basements...
Dungeon Keeper 2: Oldie but goodie. The Kickstarter for War for the Overworld gave me the urge to play a few hours, and now I can't stop.
And a ton of other games I need to play / finish. Darksiders 1 & 2, Dark Souls, XCOM (I love this game and don't know why I've only got 10 hours in it!), Retro City Rampage, Endless Space, RAGE, Natural Selection 2 ... damn I need to stop buying games. Hard to resist when they're only $5-10 each though (damn you Steam!).

What are you smoking, and are you blind, this is not true at all..... Maybe not Bioware, EA, Blizzard or Sony, but tons of people are and have been, open your eyes a little.
Lol path of exile is way better than D3, it reminds me of D2, and way better then D3 by far!! Man people don't know what good games are today..
Defiance Beta for me
WAR Z a little, until the hacks are fixed , which is prolly never.
That's must be something not borning me is my favourity game. Personly i don't like a game particularly.

TSW - Playing this game as I find the gameplay, questing and story amazing. I got a bit burnt out playing too many Sci-FI and Fantasy MMO's, so this is a good change for once. Bioshock 1 and 2 - Bought it for 10 dollars on steam, never played them. Awesome games though.
haha i just got bioshock 1 today. never played it but people say its a gem Havent really played that many non-mmo games in past few years, so its gonna be nice to play a game without 300 delivery/kill 10 rats get their eyes quests for a change :=P
as for mmos, noone really. Maybe gonna play Aion or Tera for a bit, after im done with bioshock, most likely aion - mainly because it has non instanced housing which i miss so much i newer games, and half decent crafting system. I heard they made it so crafted items are on par with other end game gear now but not really sure about it.

Keep reserve league sign ups open haha.
They definitely are, anyone who is interested is welcome to join the reserves.
The latter imo.
I have an idea for a reserve draft. How about an ODI draft where you can only select players who never played ODI's?
Pretty cool idea. I wonder if it will end up making everyone share the same opinions of players as people will soon realize who's a hot player and who's a cold player for the people who vote.
Just a suggestion, but the points system reminded me of old school Formula 1 - so it might be fun to let all the drafters 'stage a round' and make the rules/conditions however they like.
Interested in joining the reserve list/ league
I was wondering the same thing myself, whether people will choose players entirely to win votes. I'll definitely change things around with the formats we run, but I was thinking that we return every three or four rounds to the classic format just to keep it grounded.
Do you want a slot in the reserves, Nuf?
EDIT: Michaelf7777777 is in, so our reserves are now Monk, morgieb, rvd619323 and himself.

Ousted Twitter Co-Founder's Twitter Derivative Has a Hometown
It's easy to get the idea Jack Dorsey is acting out a revenge fantasy. Fired one year ago as CEO of his brainchild Twitter, Dorsey now says he's planning a startup with "similar ideas" — right in Twitter's back yard.
There was chatter in recent months the bi-coastal Dorsey (pictured) might plant his forthcoming venture in his second home base, New York, or even in his childhood home of St. Louis ("St. Louis will play a very large part in its story," he said of the startup last month).
But we hear Dorsey's been hunting for office space in San Francisco, Twitter's stomping grounds. He's hinted at as much on his Twitter stream: "I think we just found awesome office space," he wrote, just a couple of hours before he was "standing outside the... office" of SF-based Zendesk.
Dorsey's new startup is in "stealth mode." Since that's just Valleyspeak for being coy, we still know plenty about the company: it would enable person-to-person electronic payments via iPhone, MG Siegler wrote in TechCrunch this past spring, and the company has been awaiting regulatory approval, according to the St. Louis Business Journal.
It's a good idea; in fact programmer Max Levchin created the same capability for the Palm Pilot, the iPhone's old ancestor, before he and his co-founders expanded the idea into the financially successful internet-wide payment system PayPal.
So why is Dorsey framing his payments company as a new iteration of his old microblogging startup Twitter, of which he remains chairman? Dorsey told a St. Louis audience his company would have "similar ideas" as Twitter but "in a completely different industry," according to Nick Lucchesi of the Riverfront Times alt weekly. Is Dorsey hinting at additional publishing capabilities no one knows about yet?
More likely, the man who has said he would "never leave Twitter" is just extracting some free hype from a brand that clearly remains his baby, as far as Dorsey is concerned. In this regard, the prototype Twitterer thus remains the quintessential Twitterer: always self promoting.

"I might as well have lifted up my skirt for them," she says.
The photo went viral. Fast.
Anne Hathaway, who earned a Screen Actors Guild nomination this morning, exited her limo Monday night for the New York premiere of Les Misérables and, because she wasn't wearing undies, flashed her naughty bits to awaiting photographers.
Now she is expressing her dismay over the incident.
Gallery: Stars make questionable fashion moves
"I was getting out of the car and my dress was so tight that I didn't realize it until I saw all the photographers' flashes," she told Vanity Fair writer Ingrid Sischy, reports the Daily News. "It was devastating. They saw everything. I might as well have lifted up my skirt for them."
And she told Matt Lauer on Today, "It was obviously an unfortunate incident [and] it kind of made me sad that we live in an age when someone takes a pic of you in a vulnerable moment and sells it rather than deletes it.
"I'm sorry that we live in a culture that commodifies unwilling participants," she added before steering the chat back to film promotion.
"It makes me think about the character I play in Les Mis, actually," she said. "She is someone who is forced to sell sex to benefit her child, so let's get back to Les Mis."

The return of tolls for passenger vehicles using the western portion of the Massachusetts Turnpike is a foregone conclusion. Still, a public hearing was held inSpringfield Thursday on the matter.
Some of those who addressed state transportation officials were upset legislators required public comment after the resumption of toll collections had already been approved. Others like Aaron Saunders, aLudlowselectman, say westernMass.residents are being slighted.
"And when we're told that in order to have guardrails and lighting, we have to pay for it dollar-for-dollar, when we subsidize the types of organizations like the MBTA, like the Big Dig, that's insulting.", Saunders says.
Money raised through the new tolls is earmarked for repairs and maintenance on the westernmost portion of the highway. Tolls for passenger vehicles are scheduled to return between Exits 1 and 6 on October 15th. Commercial vehicles were never given a free ride on the Turnpike.

Our sweet Mistie passed away at the age of 33, Thursday morning, April 7, 2011, surrounded by her loving family.
Mistie was born in Provo, Utah to James and Delaina Nielsen. She grew up on their farm in Clawson, Utah, and enjoyed the friendships of her six sisters and two brothers. These friendships continued to grow into their adult years and she certainly counted each sister as a best friend.
In 1997 Mistie married her sweetheart, Russ, in the Manti temple and they lived in Provo while both attended college. During this time they were blessed with two sons, Derick, age 10, and Calvin, age 8.
Shortly after receiving their second son Mistie was diagnosed with stage III breast cancer. After subsequent chemotherapy and a life threatening infection she was blessed with a miraculous recovery putting the cancer into remission until April 2010. Over the last 12 months Mistie has fought valiantly undergoing several treatments while also focusing on creating numerous memories and vacations with her husband and children.
Mistie was kind and inclusive of everyone. She enjoyed the outdoors from days on the desert to adventurous hiking. She also was a very talented interior designer and loved to paint and decorate. With all this, her greatest joy and desire was the raising her young sons. We believe that now she will continue to watch over and guide them from above. Certainly the prayers of so many on her behalf were answered as we had the opportunity to have so much additional time together.
Words cannot express how much she was loved or how much she will be missed. We painfully grieve the loss of someone so special, but thank our Father in heaven for the opportunity to have had her in our lives. She will be forever remembered until we hold her again.
Funeral services were held at 11 Monday, April 11, 2011 at the chapel on 470 E. Salem Canal Rd, Salem, Utah.
A viewing was held Sunday, April 10, 2011 from 6-8 p.m. at the Walker Mortuary, 187 South Main Street, Spanish Fork, and at the chapel one hour prior to the services on Monday.

text: Will The Toyota Mirai Concept Be The Next Supra In Disguise?Travis Okulski1/09/14 2:45pmFiled to: Toyota Mirai ConceptDetroit Auto Show1341EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Here are five words we've been hearing for about 15 years: "A new Supra is coming." This time those words might mean something. Toyota is bringing a concept called the Mirai to Detroit, and if we're lucky it'll presage a new Supra. Advertisement Toyota is being totally tight lipped about what they're showing in Detroit, but the big rumor du jour is that the car they show will be a new Supra. It makes sense. Toyota definitely wants to be involved in the new Japanese sports car war that the Nissan GT-R started and the Acura NSX will soon join.Details are seriously scarce on the Mirai at the moment, and I'm hoping it's not just an elaborate trick to then show us some sort of hybrid econobox, but I'm willing to bet that if it is a Supra-esque sports car, there will be some hybrid elements. We'll know more when it debuts at Detroit next week.Reply134 repliesLeave a reply

Peacebuilding Commission: Statement by Ambassador Herman Schaper concerning Burundi
Statement by
H.E. Mr. Herman Schaper
Permanent Representative of the Permanent Mission of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to the United Nations
On the occasion of an exchange of views with Second Vice President of Burundi, Dr. Gervais Rufyikiri
Country Specific Configuration for Burundi Peacebuilding Commission
New York, 12 April 2012
Mr. Chairman,
Thank for you for organizing this important meeting to exchange views with the Second Vice President of Burundi, Dr. Gervais Rufyikiri.
Mr. Vice President,
let me welcome you to New York and thank you for providing us with this opportunity to discuss recent developments in Burundi. In particular, the second Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper and a possible donor event later in 2012. We sincerely appreciate your visit to the Peacebuilding commission and look forward to a fruitful and open exchange today.
Mr. Chairman,
My delegation aligns itself with the statement that will be made on behalf of European Union and I will like to add a few remarks.
First, Burundi remains an important partner for the Netherlands. It is one of the 15 countries with whom the Netherlands continues to have a bilateral development cooperation program. We aim to increase peace and security, enhance stability and reduce poverty in Burundi through our programs. Our embassy office in Bujumbura is focusing on security & justice, food security and sexual and reproductive health and rights. These programs are all prominent aspects in the PRSP-II and will support the implementation of this poverty reduction strategy.
Second, we are pleased with recent progress in Burundi. The government has been open to dialogue on sensitive security and human rights related topics, both with bilateral donors in the security sector as well as with the EU. This exchange today is also a similar positive example of dialogue which we highly appreciated.
We also welcome the release of some NGO and opposition representatives from prison, the willingness to address corruption in the judicial sector by dismissing 20 judges. And we hope that the Burundian government will continue its fight against corruption, as this is an important aspect of the PRSP-II.
Corruption and impunity fuel the dissatisfaction of the population, and have a negative impact economic progress and stability. Impunity, in particular, undermines the credibility of government institutions and the judicial system. We, therefore, urge the government to tackle impunity and to expedite investigations and prosecutions in some prominent cases. For example, the Netherlands is concerned about the lack of progress in the investigation of the murder of Mr. Ernest Manirumva in 2009.
We welcome the installation of the Independent National Human Rights Commission and urge Burundi to maintain its open media climate that gives voice to the Burundian population.
Thirdly, I would like to commend Burundi for the improved role of the Burundian army and police in society. A recent study that the Netherlands has financed shows that over the last year the perception by the Burundian population of the army and police has improved. Also there seems to be a sharp decline in human rights abuses by state security providers, and we trust that this trend will be continued.
Fourth, we have learned that the government intends to organize a census of its population and we understood that questions on ethnicity might be included in this census. We are interested to learn more about this census and we would like to caution for the usage of ethnicity in these types of exercises given the history of Burundi and the risks of misuse of this information.
Finally, we wish you success with the preparations of the upcoming donor event to fund the PRSP-II. The Netherlands will be pleased to participate and amplify its program in Burundi. We are ready to help engage new donors and inform them about your country.
Mr. Chairman,
Let me conclude by thanking the 2nd Vice President, again for his participation in this meeting. And I would like to wish him success in his endeavors to secure the implementation of the PRSP-II.
Thank you

STARKVILLE – Mississippi State University will begin offering an option to allow students to earn a bachelor's degree in three years.
Beginning this fall, students can earn a degree in 23 academic programs through a course that will include six fall and spring semesters and two summer semesters.
"We realize that nationwide, there is a lot of talk about the need to help students get a degree as quickly as possible" said Jerry Gilbert, MSU provost and executive vice president. "We thought this was a way of packaging our degrees. It saves a little in terms of tuition, but will save a good bit in housing costs and gets the person in a position to go into the job market or to graduate school a little earlier."
To complete the three-year programs, students will need to average 15 to 18 credit hours each semester, with 12 hours each summer, Gilbert said. The average MSU student takes 14.3 credit hours each semester, he said. At that pace, a student would graduate in 4.5 to five years.
"This three-year program offers our students the prospect of cost savings without sacrificing the world-class level of instruction they will receive in pursuit of their degrees," MSU President Mark Keenum said in a news release. "I am pleased that Mississippi State University is taking a leadership role in offering this new opportunity in our state."
It would be beneficial, but not necessary, for students who enter with credit earned by Advanced Placement, dual enrollment, International Baccalaureate or the College-Level Examination Program, Gilbert said.
"I don't think this will be for everyone," he said. "It will be for highly motivated students who have their career plan laid out in front of them and know exactly what they want to do because it is a very prescribed, set course to get out in three years."

NFL Draft Report
By Joe Buscaglia
Bills' Marrone raved about Barkley in September
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Apr 22 2013 8:47AM
Before you read any more, it is very important to note one thing in particular:
You can read however much or little in to this as you want, because sometimes coach speak exists and some of the things they say are a little over the top. But sometimes coaches speak the truth, too.
Back in September when the Buffalo Bills were still steered by Chan Gailey, Doug Marrone was still the head man at Syracuse University and preparing to take on the USC Trojans for the second straight year.
At that point in time, USC was considered to be one of the top programs in the nation heading in to the season, and they're led by none other than 2013 draft hopeful Matt Barkley.
This news item comes courtesy of
Matt Rybaltowski of CBSSports.com
, who recapped Marrone talking about his opponents -- and more specifically Barkley.
Last October, Barkley shredded the Orange secondary with 324 yards and five touchdowns. During Monday's Big East coaches' teleconference, Marrone indicated that Barkley, not Robert Griffin III, would have been considered the top quarterback in last April's NFL Draft alongside Andrew Luck.
"I was one of a couple people that was hoping he'd go on to the NFL," Marrone said. "I'm not going to sit here and tell you that I'm happy he's back."
Keep in mind that Marrone and Syracuse did not have to go up against Robert Griffin III and Baylor within the past couple of seasons so he didn't necessarily watch as much tape as he did on Barkley, but the quote still remains one that makes you wonder a little bit.
Then the adoration continued when talking about Barkley's skills on the field.
Besides being impressed by Barkley's intangibles, Marrone raved about Barkley's pocket presence and patience. Unlike many college quarterbacks Barkley excels in checking down to his backs when his downfield targets are covered, Marrone said. Barkley connected with his running backs four times in last season's 38-17 win over Syracuse.
"If he doesn't like what's going on when they (take away) the deep vertical threats, he can come right back to the backs," Marrone said. "That's one of the things you see with the top guys in the NFL."
Some interesting stuff, wouldn't you say? I don't know if you can really make heads or tails out of who the Bills will ultimately select through this article, but it sure is interesting seeing the mindset of the Bills' future head coach, when he wasn't a head coach, talking about a quarterback who very well could be his next quarterback.

Ferron students tape Principal Dawes to wall for a good cause
Ferron Elementary participated in collecting items for the men and women serving in the Armed Forces overseas that will not be home for Christmas.
As an incentive Principal Brian Dawes was a good sport and said the students could tape him to the wall of they gym if they collected items for the soldiers. Items collected included food, gum, candy, crackers and much more. Students also wrote letters of appreciation to the soldiers to be sent along with the treats.
The program was started by Melanie Miera from Cleveland Elementary. Schools from throughout the Emery School District have been collecting items to send.
On Friday morning the Ferron Elementary students filed into the gym to begin taping Principal Dawes to the wall. Each student was given a strip of duct tape. The class that brought in the most donations was Leona Behling's class and they had the privilege of finishing the taping of Principal Dawes to the wall.
After Principal Dawes broke free from the wall, he thanked all of the Ferron Elementary students for their participation in the activity. He thanked them for bringing items that will help make the holidays a little brighter for the servicemen and women who can't be home with their families this holiday season.

Lady Spartans win 2, take region crown
Unlike the previous five region games, it took the Lady Spartans almost the whole 32 minutes of the ball game to finally put away the pesky Delta Rabbits and keep their undefeated region streak alive in a 36-34 win at Delta. After the narrow escape on Tuesday, the Lady Spartans went to Carbon and defeated the Lady Dinos for the second time this season, this time by a score of 60-40. With the win, Emery could no longer be caught by the Dinos and therefore earned the region crown.
At Delta, Emery experienced their worst shooting night since the season began, as they almost could not buy a basket. They were 11 for 48 on the night for shooting which is a horrible percentage for a team to shoot, 22 percent to be exact. They were 6 for 20 inside the three-point line and 5 for 28 outside the line. No Emery Spartan ended the game in double figures for scoring. Emery did not lead until the third quarter.
But the game did show that this team could win a game that is close in a hostile environment when things do not go right. It also showed that even if the starters have a bad night the others that play all the time could lead the team. It also showed that the team still plays pretty good defense.
The leading score in this game was Frankie Komar. Komar came off the bench to score 8 points including two 3-pointers in the third quarter. Scoring 6 points in the game were Jodi Robertson, Meagan Pearson and Rachel Rasmussen. Robertson also comes off the bench. Camille Fehlberg scored 5 points, Jodie Lundell scored 3 points and Caitlin Hansen scored 2 points.
Against Carbon, Emery took the first quarter lead and never looked back. Although they did not score until Lundell hit a three-pointer with two minutes gone in the quarter and although the Spartans did not play particularly well in the period, they still led 16-10 at the end of one quarter.
The second quarter brought more of the same offense as the Spartans had lots of turnovers; half unforced, and missed open shots. They played really good defense though as they shut down the Dinos and lead at the half 26-15.
The third quarter saw the Spartans really play good defense as they limited Carbon to 5 points in the quarter as they also scored the first 11 points of the period to open up a 37-15 lead.
ShiAnne Allred controlled the boards in this game and was also the leading scorer with 11 points. Coach Gordon on ShiAnne, "ShiAnne had a really good game, she controlled the boards, she played hard and she had a good game after having struggled the last couple of games. We need her effort to keep this going."
Again it was balanced scoring that won this game for Emery. Pearson had 10 points, Rasmussen had 9 points, Lundell had 8 points and Fehlberg and Robertson each had 7 points. Lacey Montgomery, a sophomore saw action at the end of the game and scored 4 points while Komar and Hansen each scored 2 points.
Coach Gordon talked after the Carbon game, "The girls earned this and they deserve it. I am happy with the effort. I have hard workers on this team that want to get better."
The Lady Spartans close out the season this Thursday at home against North Sanpete at 7 p.m. and then wait word of whom they will host the next weekend in the Spartan Center as the state play-offs begin.
