REP. BLUNT: Well, thank you all for joining us again today. We've had 109 members on the floor since the Congress adjourned. And we're going to have more members coming back.
Our members are finding at home that what we're doing here in Washington is appreciated. At least somebody is willing to fight for the number-one issue for their families today. And that's gas prices, soon to be followed by energy prices, as we get to the fall.
Republicans are hearing that. I'm pretty sure Democrats are hearing that. And so you're beginning to hear a different tone, though I don't have any reason to believe that the different tone has any different real commitment behind it. We need a commitment to solve this problem. We know how to solve this problem. We know the country is ready to have this problem solved.
Certainly we believe that the Senate would respond differently than they did in the past to the bills we sent over that were repeatedly rejected by the Senate. And we're paying a price today, for looking at America's natural resources and seeing environmental hazard rather than economic opportunity.
We can have plenty of votes on taxes. The same members of Congress, the same speaker of the House that doesn't want to drill for oil or natural gas doesn't mind drilling through your wallet, if you're an American family. And families are interested in the fight that's going on, on the floor here today.
John Linder has been on the floor. He's a great leader in this effort. And John, do you have any idea how many books the speaker may have sold on her book tour, where she is today? Go ahead.
REP. LINDER: (Off mike) -- after two weeks, about 5,700 books. And my guess is, the Republicans have spoken to more people on the floor of the House than that, in the last two or three weeks.
(Cross talk.)
We're not asking for a whole lot here. A vote: That's what we do in that building, right in that room right over there. We vote. Ms. Pelosi was asked why she wouldn't allow a vote on drilling. And she said she can't allow a vote on drilling because she -- it's her job to save the planet.
A wise man once said, those who want to save the planet ought to start with a small garden. That's our garden. That's where we plant ideas and weed ideas and prune ideas and ultimately harvest them. That's all we want.
We represent 49 percent of the American people. And our people and her people want us to vote.
(To hear more ?), Jeff Flake from Arizona.
REP. FLAKE: You know, Congress really only has one real responsibility, and that's to fund the federal government. We have the power of the purse. And we authorize, we appropriate and we have oversight. This year we've done exactly one appropriation bill on the floor, just one out of 12. And that is because the Democratic majority is afraid to bring anything to the floor that can act as a vehicle to have a real vote on energy production. And that really is a shame.
I've been critical in the past when I've felt that our party was in the wrong on process on the floor, but nothing, nothing holds a candle to what has gone on over the past several months here. To basically not bring anything of substance to the floor to avoid having a vote on energy production is simply unconscionable. This is what we do here. We vote. It's what we should be doing. Yet here we are in recess without having a real vote on energy production, without going through the process of the appropriation bills simply because the Democratic majority is afraid to bring a vote to the floor.
And so that's why I'm glad to stand here with my colleagues here and demand that we have a vote, to do what we're supposed to do in Congress, and that's to vote.
And with that, Tom Latham is here from Iowa.
REP. LATHAM: Thank you very much.
I've been back in my district this past two weeks doing town meetings, talking to my constituents. And it is all energy all the time. That is the single most important issue in their lives today, is the high cost of energy and the effect that it's having on their family budgets. We talk a lot about budgets around here, but the most important budget there is is in that family. And the young people with children, trying to go on vacation, trying to plan for school, trying to buy clothes, it is absorbing so much of that amount of their income that it's having a devastating effect.
And also, when you look at a state like Iowa, so abundant with agriculture, 60 percent of the cost in agriculture today has directly to do with the high cost of energy. Whether it be the diesel that you run in the tractor, whether it be making fertilizer, any of those things, it is devastating. The cost of production has gone up. And that's why we're seeing the cost of the food at the store, everything else, go up. It's all directed back to energy.
And the idea that we cannot even have a vote on the floor of the House of Representatives, the people's house, to address this issue is just simply wrong. And we should be back here tomorrow voting on this bill.
I want to introduce Randy Neugebauer from Texas.
REP. NEUGEBAUER: Well, thank you very much. I think my colleagues have pretty much summed up this issue.
A lot of people wonder exactly, well, what can we do?
Well, we've laid out a very comprehensive plan. It includes everything. In fact, when I'm back in the district, I've said our plan for energy is yes -- yes, let's look at renewables. Yes, let's look at more coal. Yes, let's look at nuclear. Yes, let's look at building some new refineries in America. Yes, let's start drilling on American resources.
We are exporting $2 billion a day, $700 billion a year, nearly a trillion dollars. This is going to be one of the largest transfers of wealth in the history of this country. Just think of what we could do with $2 billion a day in developing jobs for American families, and while at the same time making America less dependent on foreign oil.
So what we're asking for is for this leader, this speaker, to bring a vote to the floor, so we can vote for the American people, and not to send $170 million a day to Hugo Chavez, who, by the way, was shopping in the Soviet Union -- Russia a few weeks ago, and what was he buying? Weapons. But what Hugo Chavez has said is, he doesn't have to attack America; all we have to do is control America with our oil. I don't think the American people want to be controlled by other governments around the world, particularly ones that aren't all that fond of our form of government, by people that would hold American families hostage with oil.
And so we want the speaker to come back. Let's get down to doing business for the American people.
And now I'm going to introduce my good friend Ms. Foxx.
REP. VIRGINIA FOXX (R-NC): Thank you very much.
Again, as Randy said, there's been a lot of good things said here today, but I think what we have to remember, those of -- we've been home. We've talked to our colleagues. We've talked to our constituents. I was in a chamber of commerce meeting in Winston-Salem yesterday, and they asked the big question that people ask us everywhere we go: Why are they opposed to increasing American energy? The people you see here and our other colleagues who have been on the floor are pro-American energy. The Democrats seem to be anti-American energy. Why are they anti-American energy, and why don't they want us to increase the supply of American energy? When the folks in the chamber of commerce asked me that question, I said I can't answer that question. You have to ask the Democrats that.
I've also said that there's been talk about Democrat leadership. In my mind, it is not leadership when you don't respond to the people of this country. And the people of this country want something done about high gas prices. They are the people in charge, but they are not exhibiting leadership, and we want leadership.
I'm going to turn it over now to my colleague from Georgia, Mr. Gingrey.
REP. PHIL GINGREY (R-GA): Thank you, Virginia.
You know that what we're here to talk about -- and of course over 110 Republican members during these past two weeks have been back and on the floor of the House talking about this and basically saying we have no business being on a five-week recess, a vacation, if you will, when the work of the people has not been done.
If I could use a little education analogy, clearly you remember in school, you didn't get to go to recess until you had done your homework. And we, clearly, have not done our homework. And the only person that is capable and has the authority to bring us back is the speaker of the House of Representatives, the gentlewoman from San Francisco, Ms. Pelosi.
So this is what it's all about. We're just saying, let's bring everybody back -- not just the Republicans, but Democrats as well -- and let's have a vote. And it's not "Johnny one note." It's not just talking about drilling, as important as that is in regard to supply and demand and domestic independence. But we have a comprehensive bill that was introduced by our leader, John Boehner from Ohio, and signed by all of us and our leadership, that covers a whole list of things, a very -- well, All of the Above Energy Act is what it's called, including conservation.
You know, in the school system -- I'll go back to that analogy -- there's something under No Child Left Behind that says if you're not doing your job, you're not making adequate yearly progress. And if you do that two years in a row, you go on the "needs improvement" list. And I'm going to say right now that the so-called leadership, or rather, as Virginia says, "those people in charge," need improvement. And they're not doing their job. And the next hammer that falls is you replace the whole bunch of them with new leadership.
And Madame Speaker, if you don't get us back up here and do your job, know your power, then we -- I think the American people are going to replace this leadership with a new crowd, and hopefully it'll be a Republican crowd.
Thank you so much.
Oh, and let me introduce -- (laughter) -- we get so anxious to say what we want to say. My colleague from Ohio has been a great member, if any of you had the opportunity to hear her speak this morning, very passionately about this issue and very knowledgeably. I'm honored to introduce the gentlewoman from Ohio Jean Schmidt.
REP. JEAN SCHMIDT (R-OH): Thank you. I'm going to be brief.
The American public rightfully is disgusted with many members in Congress. We've been called the do-nothing Congress because, quite frankly, we've done very little this year. And then they see us walk off the job while they can't afford to take a vacation.
The American people are hurting. It's the price at the tank, it's the price at the grocery store, it's the price when they go to get clothing for their kids for school that's causing them to hurt.
They're asking us to do what they sent us here to do and that's to vote on an energy bill that will help them put the money back in their wallets instead of giving it to foreign wallets.
That's why we are here. The lights may be off, but the lights in our hearts are still on. And I am so proud to be part of this group of colleagues that understand that it is you who sent us here. You are our employers and you want us to do our job before we get to go home.
Thank you.
Oh, and I would like to now introduce my good friend and new father of twins from Arizona, Trent Franks.
REP. TRENT FRANKS (R-AZ): Thank you.
Well, thank you. You know, I think that the economic implications of this issue have been very well stated here already. And I'd just like to bring two perspectives.
One, as a former oil and gas producer myself, I can suggest to you that if you can get the bureaucratic red tape out of the way, companies can move in and drill very quickly and turn this process around very quickly. Secondarily, the small companies are the ones that usually find the new reserves in this country, and then the big companies come and develop it. The protocol and the regulatory scheme here has made it almost impossible for small companies to really be effective at finding new reserves in this country.
Then I'd also like to talk about the implications that go beyond the economics. Every day, we have terrorist enemies doing everything they can to plot damage and danger to this country. Iran is enriching uranium every day. And I would suggest to you that if we didn't buy so much foreign oil, some of which finds its way into terrorist coffers, terrorists wouldn't have enough money to buy a box of sparklers to hurt this country.
And it is very important that we do what we can to become energy self-sufficient so that we don't fund those enemies that are willing to kill their children in order to kill ours. And if we don't do something pretty soon, it may come to a day when high gas prices will be the least of our problems.
Thank you.
REP. BLUNT: You all have any questions?
Q My question is for Mr. Flake. You had said that there had been complaints about how votes were taken in the past, but that what you've seen this year has been worse than anything. Can you just talk about some of the comparisons that people are making? For example, from '96 to '06, Democrats repeatedly asked for a vote on the minimum wage and they could not get it until it was attached to the estate tax. How is this situation different? I mean, isn't this sort of what leadership does?
REP. FLAKE: Let me just say, I've been critical of my own leadership when we were in the majority, for example, on the vote held open. And we took a beating in the election because of things like that, in my view. But that doesn't hold a candle to holding all appropriation bills, all but one so far this year, off the floor of the House. That's our responsibility --
REP. : (Off mike) -- in committee --
REP. FLAKE: -- our congressional responsibility is to authorize and then appropriate and then conduct oversight. And we've simply been neglecting that.
And so the -- I'm saying that whatever was done in the past -- and I've been critical of what's been done in the past -- it doesn't hold a candle to this.
The abuse of the process here this year at, I mean, keeping amendments off the floor, closed rules, simply not bringing legislation to the floor has surpassed anything I've seen.
REP. LINDER: I spent 12 years on the Rules Committee in the majority. And it was a standard procedure that on every issue that came before the floor of the House, the Democrats were offered a minority substitute, with an hour debate, to put their ideas all in one bill, on their side, and see if they could attract votes from Republicans for it. We have not seen one yet, since Ms. Pelosi has been speaker.
Q On the Republican energy bill, you guys talk about it like it's the all-of-the-above bill. It's comprehensive and has all these provisions in it. Why are Republicans holding this bill hostage to the single issue of drilling, when there's all these other provisions in it that could advance?
REP. BLUNT: Well, there are a number of bills. We've actually tried to get discharge petitions on many single-shot pieces of legislation. And you know that no Democrats have joined us on a single one of those, even the bills where the principal sponsor was Democrats.
You know, we're prepared. We have a strategy that's across the board on energy. We do think the last bill we filed is the best package so far. But that's not -- that's by no stretch of anybody's imagination the only thing we've been trying to do, to get legislation to the floor.
And you know, this idea also that we keep hearing -- Virginia reminded me of, I thought, a very good point, that the Democrats, from Democrats in the Senate to Nancy Pelosi, aren't anti-energy as much as they're anti-American energy.
You hear them saying things like, if we could get a million more barrels a day from Saudi Arabia. So apparently it's okay to go -- apparently that part of the planet doesn't affect the rest of the planet.
They are on the wrong path. The American people know they're on the wrong path. And whatever it is, whether it's coal-to-liquids, deepwater drilling, you know, we had half-a-dozen that were single- shot sort of propositions that we tried to get any Democrats to join us on.
They're not there. They won't bring those bills to the floor. Certainly when you have a crisis like this, though, you need to really move forward in a way that secures the country for the future at all fronts.
And we need to be looking about how we invest in the future, how we find the next way to power this economy, how we better use our own resources while we're getting there. That's what our comprehensive bill does. But we're for lots of different things that, we think, would help solve this problem.
Q Would you be willing to support what's being talked about as a Democratic bill being put together, which would include some of the provisions that have passed?
(Cross talk.)
REP. BLUNT: You know, I haven't seen anything that even -- I haven't seen anything that resembles a bill. When they have a bill, I'm glad to talk about a bill.
I'm not glad to talk about a bunch of, oh, we're clearly in trouble on drilling. So the speaker tells her members at home, say you're for drilling, and say I won't let the bill come to the floor.
And after about three weeks of this, the speaker says we'll probably let a drilling bill come to the floor, whatever that means. We'd like a -- we should have had this debate six months ago. We should have had this debate in the last Congress; but certainly after the American people changed their view of these issues and got to where Republicans had been on these issues for a decade, these bills should have had a chance to go to the Senate.
REP. FOXX: Well, one other thing. (Off mike.) The Democrats got elected somewhat on the basis of saying they had an energy plan to bring down the price of gasoline in 2006. We've asked, day after day after day after day, where is their plan? Why aren't they being held accountable to bring forth their plan? We've seen no comprehensive plan from them. And they should be held accountable to bring that forth.
We've done it. They have not done that. And they promised it in '06. That was part of their getting back the majority. And the American people should hold them accountable for that.
REP. BLUNT: Thank you all.

Volunteer paramedic assaulted in emergency call-out in Felixstowe
PUBLISHED: 09:27 09 February 2016 | UPDATED: 11:52 10 February 2016
A community first responder was assaulted in Felixstowe last night.
Police officers were called by East of England Ambulance Service paramedics at around 7.45pm, after reports that a volunteer crew member had been assaulted while attending a medical emergency in Elizabeth Way.
The volunteer was putting equipment in the boot of his car when he was pushed to the floor.
A police spokesman said he suffered "a minor wound to the stomach."
The man who carried out the assault is aged around 30-years-old, with short dark hair and wearing a puffa jacket.
Anyone who witnessed the assault or has any information should contact police on 101, quoting reference 16618/16, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

I've been DMing the Mearls crowd-sourced D&D game for a week, and one thing is clear: the PC, whose every turn is controlled by a committee of up to 50 or so players, has that elusive quality "player skill".
The communal player avoided a trap; killed two and charmed one orc without ever hazarding personal combat; and has been steadily pilfering everything of value, despite the watchful eye of the orc ally. The player has been creative, greedy, and hasn't made a single rash decision. It would be interesting to run a Mearls through a true Tomb of Horrors-style deathtrap dungeon or an old tournament module. I have a feeling that we'd do better than most human parties.
Watching the votes come in has been fun. While the first-offered alternative has a slight edge in the voting, it's been interesting to see that a late-suggested, but clever, option frequently wins the voting.
There's accepted wisdom about committees making bad decisions. On the other hand, there's a famous story about the "wisdom of the crowd". In a contest to guess the weight of a bull, the average of all the guesses was within .1% of the true weight.
It's been fun to run this D&D game: there are plenty of mindless little CRPG games you can use to waste the odd ten minutes at work, but nothing's quite like reacting to a real person (or real people) in a true RPG. I'd judge the experiment a success, and I'm thinking of keeping it going.
Here's what I propose:
If you haven't joined the game yet, jump in! Right now we're at a crucial decision point: should the PC fight four ghosts, or try to teach them about the evils of sexual harrassment?

Smoking increases the risk of contracting TB, scientists have found.
An analysis of 24 studies showed that smokers had a 73 per cent greater chance of being infected by tuberculosis than non-smokers.
For those already infected, the chances of developing active TB disease were 50 per cent greater for smokers.
Overall, a smoker had 2.5 times a non-smoker's risk of contracting active TB.
Underlying trend
Researchers pooled together data from the previously published studies to reveal an underlying trend that was previously hidden.
Dr Michael Bates, from the University of California at Berkeley, US, who led the research, said: 'Our study is the first systematic, quantitative assessment of TB risks from smoking.
'There have been mixed opinions on whether smoking has any relevance to TB. Our review and analysis of the research in this area indicates that there is a connection, and that smoking is a major risk factor for TB.'
Nearly two billion people – one third of the world's population – are infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacteria that cause TB.
The bug can remain dormant in the body for decades, kept in check by the immune system. But if the immune system is compromised, it can multiply and trigger active disease.
In 2003, almost 9 million people worldwide developed active tuberculosis. Each year an estimated 1.7 million people die from TB.
Smokers are susceptible
Professor Kirk Smith, from the University of California at Berkeley, a senior author of the paper published today in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine, said: 'It could be that smoking suppresses the respiratory immune system, allowing latent infections to blossom. Smoking also seems to make people more susceptible to becoming infected in the first place.
'Because it increases the number of active TB cases, we estimate that smoking is related to half a million of the 1.7 million TB deaths each year.'
Getting people to quit smoking could play an important role in efforts to control TB, said Prof Smith.
'Currently smoking cessation is not part of TB control programmes,' he said. 'The evidence from this study suggests that it should be.'

"The Children of Darfur" will be shown at Fovea Exhibitions, 143 Main Street, Beacon, from September 8 through September 30. An opening reception will be held on Saturday, September 8 from 4 to 8pm.
—Brian K. Mahoney
What was your impetus for moving from straight photography to including multimedia presentations in your exhibitions?
My main goal is to try to communicate with as many people as possible. I've noticed over the years that in spaces where I would have a book, an exhibition on the wall, and a multimedia projection, people responded to each differently. If you had a hundred people that came in to a gallery, one third of the people would say, "We really love the exhibition," or one third of the people would say, "We really love the book," or one third of the people would say, "We really like multimedia." People really react to different types of documentation differently, so in order to try to be able to reach 100 percent of the people, I'm trying to increase my platforms. Basically, to have all my projects be multiplatform.
Why risk your life to bring back images from conflict zones?
It's not a simple answer. I think that there are a number of factors that go into my decision each time to return to these places. The first reason is strictly a desire to create awareness, to be the eyes of the public and let people know what's going on. Quite often, especially in this fragmented world of media, it's very difficult for people to hear what's going on in places such as Darfur or the Congo. So there's an attempt to inform people and thereby put public pressure on places where our government can step in to do something. And another thing that I've learned over the years is the effect of the photography in the long run, even if nothing actually does happen in the immediate present. Taking Darfur as an example again, we basically watched a genocide live on television and read about it in magazines. But my work contributes to creating a body of evidence, a document, that will hold people responsible for what happened. And not only hold the people responsible on the ground—the Janjaweed, the militias, and the Sudanese government—but also to hold the so-called Western civilized countries responsible, those that had the option to put more pressure through the UN or by financial or military means, and neglected to do so. And by extension, and I think most importantly, especially for Americans, to hold us personally responsible because we are the ones who are electing our government to act on our behalf, and we have to realize that there is a connection between what we do by stepping into a voting booth and in faraway places like Darfur and Afghanistan and other situations. So I feel my photography helps remind people of how interconnected we are, and the fact that the decisions we make as Americans here affect many, many people around the world. And lastly, it's an educational tool. It's very important for the work to be used in order to hopefully awaken students to a better understanding of situations like genocide as they move into positions of power in the real world.
Do you feel like you've gained some insight into human nature by immersing yourself in conflict zones time and again?
The greatest realization I made was that there's greater similarity between cultures than differences. I think the basic idea of the family and of people wanting the best for themselves and for their children you will hear from probably everybody—from a Darfurian, or a Rwandian, or a Bosnian, or somebody in New York—and everybody has similar dreams and hopes. I think that's what makes it much more poignant—to understand that there are these similarities of just wanting to have peace and wanting security and prosperity for your family.
Chris Hedges, in his book, War is a Force That Gives Us Meaning, talks about becoming addicted to traveling to and reporting from conflict zones, a phenomenon he found common among his journalist colleagues. Do you feel a visceral sense of being drawn to these areas?
I think there's a definite understanding and desire to go back to these areas, knowing that very few people are doing that and there are things that need to be told, that your work can have an impact. Another thing about going to conflict zones is that quite often in conflict zones you're witnessing history—the birth of a nation or the death of a nation. That's quite an amazing thing to be able to witness for yourself and a privilege to be able to show people your interpretation of.

Beyond the #Girlbossmoment: Hayley Johnson lands her dream job with CAMP Collection!
"My husband and I moved from Los Angeles to San Francisco a few weeks after our wedding in 2014. He was offered a job in the Bay Area and we decided to make the jump. I was eager to find a job that would build off of my six years of experience working as an assistant designer in L.A., and it turned out I was in the right place at the right time! A recruiter put me in touch with CAMP Collection and the rest was history.
This is my #girlbossmoment, because it represents how far I've come in the apparel industry and how proud I am to be the designer for CAMP Collection. The brand's inspiration—summer camp nostalgia and girls in groups having fun—clicked with me immediately. I have a collaborative boss and a team that allows me to explore countless ideas and learn things along the way. This is truly my dream job!
It's been thrilling to watch my designs come to life as the company has grown so quickly in a short amount of time. The 15-year-old me would be happy to know that all that time I spent sketching clothes in notebook margins did not go to waste."
Three pieces of advice to aspiring Girlbosses:
1. Try to learn as much as you can about what you do and become an expert. All the time I spent trying on clothes and touching fabrics was giving me an education about fit, drape, composition and color. Along the same lines, if you don't know something, try to learn it! You may develop a new skill that you might not have otherwise.
2. Own up to your mistakes. It's better to explain something that went wrong when it happens rather than six months later when there's a domino effect from a coverup. Try to view mistakes as great learning opportunities; most bosses will want to know what you'd do differently next time and then move on from it.
3. Measure twice, cut once. This doesn't just apply to apparel; it means double check your work! If you don't have time to do something right the first time, then you better have time to re-do it, because chances are you will be doing it over again.
(Pssst: CAMP Collection is also available on Nasty Gal!)

I'm sewing something for my hub's best friend tonight, so no refashion! Bummer! But I promise a super mega awesome refashion tomorrow night! Lets just say, it involves men's clothing. I'm also going to do some changes to my blog, if I have time tonight. We will see if I can squeeze it in.
So, I really am into these fabric garlands! I've never made one, but totally plan on making one over the next few weeks. I want to hang one at my sister-in-law's baby shower. Not sure what I want to say on it. I'm thinking…hmmmm…okay, I'm stumped. Any ideas?

There are certain standards for football at Tustin High, and Tillers coach Winter Welz reminded his team of them after Friday's Empire League opener.
His talk to his players was brief and succinct after the Tillers' 28-8 win at Western High, pointed in saying he expects more even if there were reasons why the Tillers' win was a little underwhelming.
Tustin quarterback Alena Pilimai sat out the game with a strained calf muscle and a few other starters were held out or saw limited playing time because of injuries. With the heart of the league schedule ahead of the Tillers (5-1, 1-0 in league), holding players back was a sensible decision.
"We were missing a couple guys and we held (Alena out), and we didn't play as well as we could," Welz said afterwards. "But I can't be too unhappy to get a win.
"We played real good defense until the end, and they held the ball for almost the entire fourth quarter."
In place of Pilimai, sophomore Sagel Simon started at quarterback and had a sharp night statistically, completing 8 of 11 passes for 123 yards, including a 56-yard touchdown throw to Jonathan Di Maio, one of five receptions for the wide receiver.
Tyler Noble had a 65-yard touchdown run on the Tillers' first play and would score a second touchdown later. He had 72 yards rushing to go with 42 yards by Derek Soto and 41 by K.C. Carr.
Expectations of Western may have played a role. The Pioneers came into the game 1-4, having lost four straight and allowing 181 points in those four losses. The Tillers beat Western 61-7 last season, and the depth-shy Pioneers have just 17 wins in the last 61/2 seasons.
"We beat them easily last year and we probably came in thinking it would be easy," Noble said. "We kind of let our heads get too big for our shoulders."
Noble's touchdown on the first play was a simple slot-in-motion handoff that the senior burst down the south sidelines and needed just one cutback to complete the touchdown.
"It was the first play we ran in practice every day this week," Welz said.
"The coach thought that play would work, but I wasn't sure it would be our first play of the game," Noble said.
By game's end, Tustin had converted a pair of 52-yard drives for touchdowns, Simon completing there passes to Di Maio on one and Soto and Carr carrying the load on the other. Simon hit Di Maio for a 56-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter for a 28-2 lead.
The defense handled the Pioneer running game all night, posting losses on 13 running plays, and Hugh Bethel had an interception to end a Pioneer drive.
Little things nettled Tustin. There were two penalties that ended an early drive. Western blocked a punt for a safety a play after a procedure penalty moved the punt back into the end zone.
A touchdown was called back by a holding penalty and there was a fumbled punt that gave the ball back to Pioneer.
In the fourth quarter, four penalties sustained a Western drive that led to its only touchdown, and a communication problem on the ensuing kickoff led to Western recovering a bloop kick.
Tustin's program has an immense sense of pride. The school won its first CIF title in 1948 and was a contender every year during Myron Miller's 18-year run as head coach.
In Miller's 18 years, the Tillers went to the post season 17 times, won 10 league titles and reached the CIF semifinals ten times.
Miller and his Wing-T ground-churning offense went to the CIF finals four times, suffering tough, rugged losses to Santa Margarita (1997), 2008 (La Habra) and 2010 (La Habra again) before a 35-28 win over El Toro for the 2011 Southwest title.
Miller resigned after the 2012 season. Greg Gano was hired for 2013 but resigned after a 0-4 start.
Welz, a former Tiller standout and assistant coach who went to Trabuco Hills High after Miller retired, took over and the program rebounded in 2014, going 6-5 and returning to the postseason.
Change can be difficult. Miller's Wing-T was successful but it wasn't the flashy spread offense that's become popular in high school and college football.
When he retired, Miller admitted it was hard to get players to commit to the Wing-T. Welz decided when he retuned that he would go to a spread offense.
Last season's team made progress and the 2015 team is 5-1 with only a 13-7 loss to Foothill. Pilimai's return, Simon's potential and a deep well of offensive talent should make the Tillers a playoff threat even if the team had an off night in Friday's win against Western.

I'm so tired I…
It's no secret – us mums are tired.
Hell many of us haven't slept longer than 4 hours for months – even years – on end.
We are living in a sleepless haze of baby brain…
A condition that let me tell you does not cease once you have your baby.
It begins in early pregnancy – and ends around the time you shift them off to school.
And be warned – the effects of such a condition are many and varied.
My poor partner Ben…
So often I hear him talking to me – I see him talking to me – In fact, we are having what would appear to any outsider as a conversation…
And yet I find myself staring at him blankly, sometimes for minutes on end, before realising I have no bloody idea what he has just said.
And there we are – him looking to me in anticipation of some kind of response…
And I'm just standing there like a computer when you open up too many pages and everything turns to sh*t.
No I don't know what day it is.
No I don't know which of my identical twins I just fed.
No I probably couldn't spell my name right now.
But I am here..
and I am functioning…
The other day I found myself in the shower with my underwear on.
I was legit standing there, enjoying the first shower I had had in three days, when I looked down and thought to myself…
Well what the sh*t happened here.
Convinced I was surely not the only one experiencing such strange occurrences as a result of sleep deprivation, I took to the 'Australian Mothers of Multiples Facebook page in a quest to prove to myself that sh*t could be weirder… the responses I got are proof of this.
And so began the "I'm so tired I…" conversation.
I'm so tired I…
… I'm so tired I woke up on the lounge one night breastfeeding one of my babies.
I had no idea how I got there or indeed how long I had been there.
… I'm so tired I used dog shampoo on the kids instead of baby shampoo.
… I'm so tired I fed that same twin twice then spent half an hour at 4am trying to work out why the other was so upset.
… I'm so tired I washed my hair with face wash.
… I'm so tired I pumped without attaching the bottles.
… I'm so tired I paid for my shopping and walked away leaving it there at the self-service checkout.
… I'm so tired I picked up the kids from day-care and left one behind. My husband went back and picked him up.
… I'm so tired I was so incoherent trying to order a Chai that the poor guy had no idea what I was saying.
… I'm so tired I poured milk in with dog biscuits and went to eat it.
… I'm so tired I took the garbage bag to work for my lunch and put my lunch bag in the garbage.
… I'm so tired I tried to drive out of the garage with the door down.
… I'm so tired I had a tea bag in one hand, a red snake in the other. I put the kettle on and put the tea bag in my mouth. It was a few good chews before I registered I got it mixed up.
… I'm so tired I was making hubby a coffee and myself a water. I poured boiling water in my glass and *almost* drank it. It got to my mouth and my brain went "this cup feels hot".
… I'm so tired I made a coffee – well what I thought was coffee. I was actually scooping formula into my cup.
… I'm so tired I put a block of cheese in the freezer then blamed my husband for eating it all. I made him go to the shops and buy more only to discover it in the freezer later that night.
… I'm so tired I gave the dog a baby snack and one of my twins a dog snack.
… I'm so tired I went to the supermarket specifically for muesli. When I returned home we already 3 packets.
… I'm so tired I, on two separate occasions, was found by my husband sleep pumping in our bed.
… I'm so tired I put my cup of tea into the fridge and sat down for a break with the bottle of milk.
… I'm so tired I put the milk in the dishwasher.
… I'm so tired I got in the shower with my glasses on and wondered why I couldn't see properly.
… I'm so tired I opened a packet mix and poured the contents into the bin and put the packet in the saucepan.
… I'm so tired I fell asleep at roadwork traffic lights and woke up to honking of horns!
… I'm so tired I left my car door open with car keys inside for an hour whilst shopping.
… I'm so tired I answered the door to the post man in my bra and undies, it has now happened 3 times and unfortunately they were not the 'cute type' of underwear – more like saggy undies and a nursing bra!
… I'm so tired I put my keys in the dishwasher.
… I'm so tired I cracked eggs into the compost bin instead of mixing bowl.
… I'm so tired I answered the door to a delivery driver with a boob hanging out of my bra.
… I'm so tired I fell asleep in the dentist chair.
… I'm so tired I got out of the shower, dressed myself and left the house with hair conditioner still in.
… I'm so tired I didn't hear the baby right next to me crying because I thought I was feeding her and it was the other baby waiting her turn …… I was mighty shocked when my husband came in, woke me and said "aren't you going to feed her?!"
… I'm so tired I dressed my son without putting his nappy on and couldn't work out how the nappy could have disfunction so terribly when he poosploded over himself at a shopping centre – until I went to change him!
… I'm so tired I remember waking up at night (bolt upright in bed) and racking my brain for a good 5 minutes (on more than one occasion) trying to remember if I had fed both babies or fallen asleep after the first one.
… I'm so tired I put a dirty nappy in the washing machine on several occasions instead of the bin. If anyone has ever done this you will know that you get small beads of jelly on all the clothes that take a few more washes to get rid of.
… I'm so tired I, when asked what account I wanted to pay on, told the lady my pin code instead.
… I'm so tired I bought a much needed coffee and drove off with it on the roof – I only realised when I saw it flying off in my rear vision mirror.
… I'm so tired I put the toaster in the fridge.
… I'm so tired I put the kids socks in the dishwasher!
… I'm so tired I went shopping with my bra strap unattached and wondered why my boobs felt so free.
… I'm so tired I used permanent marker instead of eyeliner. Realised after and had to do both.
… I'm so tired I emptied the dirty clothes out of the washing machine before I had put it on and put it in the dryer even though it was still dirty and not wet.
… I'm so tired I poured the hot water from the kettle straight into the coffee jar rather than my cup.
… I'm so tired I made a jug of formula and tipped it straight down the sink
… I'm so tired I put my laundry into the rubbish bin instead of the laundry basket
… I'm so tired I ran around the house telling my friend I was going to be late because I couldn't find my phone only to realise I was talking to her on it!
… I'm so tired I got my kids mixed up and took two days to realise.
… I'm so tired I poured coffee pods into the kid's cereal bowls instead of cereal
… I'm so tired I once made a hot gravy drink instead of a hot milo because the tins were both small and green.
… I'm so tired I got all 5 kids in the car to go to the dog park, got down there and had forgotten the dog!
… I' m so tired I tried to start the car with the house key and couldn't understand why it didn't work.
… I'm so tired I used Curash cream instead of sun cream and wondered why it wouldn't rub in or come off.
… I'm so tired I put a packet of rice into the washing machine.
… I'm so tired I sprayed hairspray in my arm pit thinking it was deodorant… that stuff is sticky!
… I'm so tired I still try and 'beep beep' the house door open with my car keys. All. The. Time
… I'm so tired I, after showering me and the babies and drying and dressing the twins on the bed – turned around and put on my dressing gown and turned back around to see only one baby. I scooped up the baby and walked into lounge and started feeding when I thought to myself… wait a minute … I thought I had two of these? I looked around and for the life of me in that moment couldn't remember if I had dreamt having twins or I really had another one somewhere? I went back to the bedroom, no baby on the bed, one bassinet (as they shared it) and thought to my self … odd I still think I had two. I then heard a little murmur and looked on the side of the bed to find the little bundle of joy was nestled there. He had rolled or been kicked off by his twin.
… I'm so tired I hallucinated a hand coming out of the ground! It was a little shrub stump!!
… I'm so tired I had bottle of breastmilk in one hand and coffee in other… guess which one I took a desperate swig from?!?
… I'm so tired my husband found me asleep on the twin's bedroom floor and both babies crying in their cot, I had gone in earlier to settle them.
… I'm so tired I looked at the baby monitor and the twins weren't on there, I went into their room and sure enough they were in their cot together, just where I left them. I went back to bed and laid down, looked over to the monitor and they were gone again. Went up to their room again and they were still asleep in their cot. Came back to bed and laid down, looked over at the monitor and they were gone again. I don't know how many times it took me to realize the monitor screen had frozen on the cot before I put them to bed!
… I'm so tired I fell asleep sitting on the couch holding a fresh cup of tea that ended up all over me.
… I'm so tired two days after bringing my boys home from hospital my neighbor asked their names. I told her one and then stood there blankly for 5 minutes trying to remember the other one and couldn't.
… I'm so tired I turned the windscreen wipers on after shopping and when I came home I couldn't remember how to turn them off again. I seriously sat there for over 10 mins trying to remember and even then couldn't! I gave up, left them on and turned the car off.
… I'm so tired I put my baby in the car and left my pram in the middle of a footpath in town then drove off to get a coffee.
Response from another mum: I didn't notice that my pram was missing for 3 weeks!
Response from another mum: That's because we only leave the house when we absolutely have too!
… I'm so tired I fell asleep on the toilet and woke up when I hit my head on the wall.
… I'm so tired I used my Breastmilk for my coffee.
… I'm so tired I tucked one baby in upside down so I tucked in their head as their feet.
Please SHARE with other tired mummas on your mothers group pages.
Let's start the conversation…
I'm so tired I…
Happy sleeping Mummas.

Vegetable Peel Crisps
Our final Waste Not tip is a bit of whimsy. Crispy little snacks made with vegetable peelings. Also good for dressing up a creamy vegetable soup, or as a nibble alongside a sandwich. Next time you find yourself with potato and/or carrot parings on your cutting board, give this a try –you may wonder why you ever tossed peels into the compost. Sage leaves make a nice addition, if you have them handy.
Vegetable Peel Crisps
Vegetable parings, such as potato peels and/or Rainbow carrot shavings
A neutral oil, like grapeseed or corn oil
Sage leaves
Preheat oven to 400 F. Make sure you use vegetables that were well-scrubbed and trimmed before peeling. Use a knife or vegetable peeler to cut strips of skin from the vegetables. We hand-peeled potatoes, because it's nice to keep a little flesh on the skin, and used a vegetable peeler for the carrots. Brush the strips with oil, sparingly, just so they shine a little. Oil sage leaves, too, if using. Spread out strips, skin-side down, on a baking sheet or over the bottom of a roasting pan, lined with parchment . Sprinkle with salt. Shove in the hot oven.
Check after 5 minutes or so, flipping over strips and leaves as the bottom side crisps. Carrot shavings and sage leaves will probably take between 5 and 10 minutes. (It depends on how thin the shavings are.) Potato strips with a bit of flesh will take longer – they'll blister and puff in parts, making them extra crunchy. Remove strips as they're done, cool on a rack or crumpled paper towel. Tip them into a bowl, with an extra sprinkle of salt for a snack, or use as a garnish.

It has been a little quiet on the blogging front this week. I have been constantly thinking about my blog, as I always do, but the actually recipe creating, picture taking, writing, posting, sharing portions of the blog have been virtually non-existant. You see, cooking becomes a little challenging without countertops to hold my precious kitchen belongings.
The original kitchen:
This project started with a long list in the beginning of January. Our current home is new construction but we were limited by the builder in some regards and have been craving that get-your-hands-dirty feeling that comes from personalizing the space. On New Years Day we made a list of all the projects we planned to accomplish during 2014 with their corresponding desired budgets. The kitchen was naturally the main priority; that is where we spend quality time catching up on our day, making meals together, and blogging of course! On the list: donate the laminate countertops and replace with stone, add a new sink/faucet, DIY backsplash, and perhaps adding some decorative knobs (if I can ever find ones to fall in love with).
A work in progress: I cannot take credit for detaching the old countertops; that was all my husband. I did help carry them to the garage, however. The small pieces anyway…I have small muscles. I suppose I'm a work in progress too!
My husband and I have a track record with home renovations. Right after college we bought a "fixer-upper" you could say, and replaced darn near everything in it from top to bottom (minus the whole sledge hammering through walls bit). Then we sold it. We put our hearts into that condo and learned to work together as a team in a way that we had not been challenged in our relationship to do yet. We learned to communicate better and take each other's opinions into account in order to work together toward a common goal. We would step back after each project, no matter how small, and smile with a sense of accomplishment and know we were in this together. We were building our life as a married couple but also growing closer in our friendship. Often there are words of caution toward couples warning them about renovations, they say it strains your marriage, but for us I truly believe it brought us closer. (Not to say we lacked negotiating and convincing at times!)
After a short time with bare cabinets the new countertops were installed and I am so happy with them! We chose Sensa granite in Silver Silk. The space looks bright, modern, beautiful, and completely inviting. We decided not to do a "backsplash" with the granite and instead install a tile backsplash of our own. The granite slab goes straight to the wall for a clean look which I love, but as a result we have a completely unintentional stretch of unfinished drywall that stands out like a sore thumb…but not for long!
The new sink is my husband's cup of tea and fits the modern, sleek look of the kitchen beautifully. It is industrial and I love that it can withstand all of the wear and tear that we give our kitchen.
Kudos to him for installation of the sink and new faucet (after a long day of work followed by graduate class I might add…he's awesome). His hard work ethic, ability to keep his cool in a stressful situation, and ability to problem solve are just a couple more reasons why I think he's the bees knees. Plus, it always helps when DIY saves money!
My favorite part: The island where all lunch prep, meal prep, rolling of the pizza dough, and serving happen!
Current "final product":
The backsplash tiles are ordered and will tentatively be installed during spring break (fingers crossed). I am excited to see the vision that we have been carefully planning for the past 6 months come together. And I am looking forward to all the future projects we plan to tackle. I will keep you updated on the progress!

It's no surprise that I love to see local Business on Twitter. Note: Twitter > Facebook in my life, though I certainly appreciate it as another form of marketing and community outreach.
But it takes more than just being "on" Twitter and Facebook to impress me.
It's called a Social Network for a reason… and it's simple really. Be Social, build your Network! What's so hard about that? It's even FREE! Yet time and time again I come across a Business just falling short of really hitting the mark.
I'm not suggesting you spend 24/7 online promoting your brand, what I'm looking for is Engagement.
Here's the scenerio:
You're a local Business. You've created a Twitter/Facebook account for your business. You/You're staff is dedicating a percentage of time adding content to promoting you. You've even started "following" other similar Business, peers and users in your demographic. Yay! This is great!!
But what happens when a "Follower" comments or replies to your content? Let's say they include a question or request additional information. Are you listening? Do you respond in a timely fashion?
If the answer is No – You're Doing it WRONG!
It makes me sad when I try to engage with a local Business on Twitter or Facebook and all I get is <crickets>. It really disappoints me when I see that they are not engaging with ANYONE!
The cool thing about Social Networks is that they are built to make it easy for you to pay attention to your audience and potential new business. Yes, I know it can be a little confusing with all the fancy buttons and those developers who like to switch things up on us every so often. I by no means expecting you to respond to every message/@/comment, but you're totally missing out if all you do is post, post, post. It's like internet pollution no matter how great your content is … and it's kinda rude not to say hello back!
A couple of months ago I moved to Morristown and naturally went to Twitter to seek out area business accounts to follow and potentially support whenever possible. I realize I am not the norm when it comes to Social Media, but more and more people are following my lead with the growing numbers of smart phones in our pockets.
We are all very busy people with increasingly shortened attention spans, so for me I built a list where I can quickly see "what's happening" in town and then base my decisions on where to meet the girls for drinks, where to get my hair done, where to find a cute pair of sunglasses or a cup of coffee and a cupcake.
Obviously those accounts who make the extra effort to interact with me will get my business over those who don't … and as an added bonus they will get my love an adoration because I am a total sucker for that Twitter stuff 😉
So get out there and Engage already … and if you need additional help I'd be more than happy to give you a hand!

Dear Me, Is It November Already?
(The title sounds better than, "Another Update", or "Odds and Ends", don't you think?) Time seems to fly buy lately. Maybe it's because I can't stop 'lil q from growing up and getting bigger every day. Or maybe it's because I've been so busy and I have so many deadlines to 'meet.' But wow. It's November. With Halloween in the rear view mirror (pictures to follow soon) and the leaves turning (maybe pictures of that, too) it's time to look ahead – less than 55 shopping/decorating/baking/whatever days til Christmas (sorry, had to toss that in).

text: Hi! I feel like my newly bought A3 is a little slow to start when it is been sitting over night for example, and I was wondering what your thoughts are on the video below. It has a fairly new (and expensive) battery (1 year old). It´s got four new glow plugs as all of them were faulty when I bought it (took 1 minute of cranking to start before) I feel like there should be more "omph" when cranking - as it feels slow and takes about 8 cranks to start. Thanks

Brenda Teele
Teen Pregnancy Prevention Speaker
Reviews - Photos - Videos - Speaker Information - Book Brenda Teele
"If I had heard this message as a teen, about the true meaning of sex and its deeper emotional impact, saying 'no' would have been easy," says Brenda Teele. "The message of Breaking the Cycle gives teens a bigger 'YES.'"
Brenda speaks with a passion for making a generational impact on teen pregnancy. Research shows that children of teen parents often become teen parents themselves. With Breaking the Cycle, Brenda Teele hopes to put an end to that pattern of early sexual activity by providing parent education and personal experience that will show how these early choices impact a person's future.
Her highly energetic and interactive program teaches teen parents how to approach the topic of sex with their children, and teach them about the importance of sexual integrity.
"As they learn how to teach their children about the true purpose of sex, they will actively discover new strength and begin to break the cycle to impact generations to come."
She hopes each teen parent who attends the program will go through a process of self-evaluation. She wants them to think about the messages that they received from their family and peers, and then to actively decide which messages they will pass on to their own children.
Brenda also warns about the dangers of 'toxic' relationships. Teens should be able to identify which thoughts and relationships protects them and which ones prey on them.
"Breaking the Cycle is my own journey," she says. "I am open with who I am and the choices I've made. I want teens to know they're not alone and that I understand because I've been there too. I want to help them see a brighter future and not continue down a path that was never intended for them."
Book a Breaking the Cycle program to help support teen moms and dads in your school. Brenda encourages teen parents to stay in school, equipping them to be the best parents they can be.

Reviews of Brenda Teele's Programs
"After listening to this program, I think it's going to be easier to talk to my children about sex."
"The program taught me to answer questions honestly, and don't answer more than the question that was asked."
"I learned that the number of sexual partners directly reflects your level of self-confidence."
"They shared a message that is vital to the kids we serve. The students I visited with after the program yesterday were excited about what they heard and felt like Brenda really connected with them. I truly feel that Brenda gave my students some tools that they can and will put into practice which will help them become better parents and better people. My students want to succeed and I am so happy to have been able to get this information into their hands!"
