High School Sports
It's brutally cold and windy around Fort Worth. How do outdoor athletes cope?
The recent rush of dropping temperatures has put local soccer teams a little behind schedule. The season began last week, but only if tournament games weren't canceled because of the ultra-cold weather.
From now through the end of the season in the spring, the weather will inevitably fluctuate from bitter cold to days of high humidity and heat.
Teams are used to the bouncing thermometers. They prefer those conditions over another Texas staple: high wind.
Several area players gave their take on how they deal with the bitter cold and also were asked about their choice between playing in freezing weather or in warm temperatures but with hard winds.
The unscientific study yielded a unanimous finding: They'd rather wrap on the layers to cope with brutal cold than play in the wind. Any day.
But that choice isn't ever a realistic option. So, how do teams and players deal with putting on shorts and short-sleeved jerseys and playing in the elements?
Billy Griffiths, the head girls soccer coach at Keller, said the school district's policy states play will be canceled if the temperature or wind chill is below 29 degrees. That means at 32 degrees, it would take just a slight breeze to bring play to a halt.
In fact, Mansfield head coach George Velten said their early season schedule had been frozen (bad pun definitely intended) and they were getting back on track last weekend.
The Lady Tigers' Kate Holland said she tries to block out the cold around her as much as possible and will sometimes grab gloves and ear warmers.
But the wind, Holland said, "puts a different spin on the ball."
Mansfield teammate Destiny Culclager does what most soccer players opt for in layering.
"I really just do Under Armor under my jersey to keep my arms warm. It just comes with playing. I can put on a parka and pants when I'm on the bench," Culclager said.
The preference is definitely the cold over heat for the senior Culclager.
"Heat is all-around death for me. I heat up really fast, and I can play harder and longer in the cold. Heat defeats me, like when I see the heat radiate off the turf."
It is partly mental, too, and softballers aren't immune to the issue of extreme temps, and more so than the impact of wind.
At Colleyville Heritage, cold is four-letter word.
Heritage head softball coach Allison Conaway admits to being tough on her girls when it's cold.
"I told them they can't say the word 'cold,' nor can they act like they're cold," Conaway said.
Part of the prep for the weather is mental and teaching her girls what to wear in the cold, she said.
Sweatshirts and hoodies on Lady Panthers during games is a no-no, but Conaway uses a proven concept in dealing with playing in the cold along with the district's guidelines.
"The school district has a policy, but I use the common-sense test mostly," she said. "Softball isn't like soccer, with … all the standing around.
"We don't let them outside if it isn't safe," Conaway said.
At Mansfield Summit, senior defender Tanner Bailey educated us on why many soccer girls said they don't pull on gloves or leggings in the cold weather.
"It's hard to wear gloves because of the throw-ins," Bailey said. "I normally just pull the thermal long sleeves over my hands. There's not much you can do. And leggings are just uncomfortable when I play and I get hot fast."
Samantha Dominguez and Makenna Pate, a Lubbock Christian commit, at Keller agreed on the discomfort of leggings and the consideration of throw-ins when ditching the gloves.
"And I'm more of a cold-weather player," said Dominguez. "I'd prefer 35 degrees all the time."
Pate summed up all the players randomly polled on the bigger adversary.
"I'm not a big fan of the wind, so I'd take the cold," Pate said.

Residents of Tijuana are not happy about the migrant caravan that has stalled in the city.
Hundreds came out to protest, with many of them echoing the sentiments of President Trump.
"Donald Trump was right, this is an invasion! What Donald Trump said was correct: this is an invasion!" said one protester.
NPR reports that a majority of the protesters fear that the caravan will receive help from he Mexican Government, giving federal funds to those who entered the country illegally and don't intend to stay long enough to give back.
"Tijuana is a place that welcomes anyone, but you must have papers, you must identify yourself," said demonstrator Magdalena Baltazar. "The government shouldn't be giving things to migrants when plenty of Mexicans are in a difficult position."
Already some migrants are complaining about the free aid they are receiving with one woman claiming they were being fed like "pigs."
Currently the Mexican government has no made any official announcements on the matter.
26 comments
the invading horde should not complain after all Mexico nor the US ask them to come, they should be grateful that they are receiving anything
You are so correct and I agree with your statement
These immigrants thing that they can go into any country and then expect to be fed and housed.
They are coming in illegally and expect Mexico and the United States to take care of them.
They dont seem to realize that we have our own people that we need to care for.
We have homeless Vets and other homeless and jobless people that need our help.
We must that care of our own.
They need to go back to where they came from
Zand Getty help from them.
If you don't like how the Mexican government treats you go back to where you started and next time you decide to INVADE other countries don't. Imigrate legally or not at all.
What nerve these so invaders display when in another's country! Where do they get off thi king anyone owes them food or water? They should have thought about that before they started this dangerous trip. People of Tijuana I hope you have a way to defend yourselves. They should turn around now because we don't need anymore riff raff in our country! This is BS!
They knew they were not welcomed let alone invited. They are invaders and should be treated as such
I heard the same thing about the Middle East "refugees" in Europe. "They feed us food fit for pigs", so much for gratitude.
I and all citizens of the United States of America appreciate that citizens from other nations want to come here seeking better lives for themselves and their families.
We embrace those desires, but we will only give permission to enter this nation if a potential immigrant utilizes the proper applications, procedures, and protocols.
There are people from all over the world who are properly applying for the authorization to enter.
It is reprehensible, immoral, and unethical if we were to allow anyone to enter without going through the same procedures as others are undergoing.
Please be safe, go home and work to better your lives and your nations and if you still want to emigrate to the United States apply at the consulate in your home nation and if you are one of the more than one million authorized immigrants we allow each year, we will happily accept you with open arms.
Specifically, to those adventurers in the caravans; we don't want you or the people of Tijuana to suffer further hardships, therefore we will offer transportation back to your home nations.
The United States of America steadfastly will continue to be a good neighbor to all nations and as such will assist your nations for the goal of better conditions for their citizens.
I, sincerely, thank you for your understanding.

Thank you for your common sense.
And what about the reported criminals and terrorists?
Simply ignore them?
SHOULD BE GREATFUL? They should be turned
around and given a sharp toed "boot" back
in the direction from whence they came,
along with ANY and ALL sympathizers!
ANY socialist (so called democrat, liberal or
or other crowd pleaser should be allowed
a front seat near the other D.C. wizards for
the return trip!!
Look what you have do governor Brown. This is your fault
The U.S. welcomes anyone who comes here legally. Those of us that live in cities by boarders agree with the importance of this. If these immigrants were so unhappy with the country that they left then why are they carrying the flag of that country. After they invade then what. Who will be paying for their health care, feeding them, cleaning up the destruction left behind? Where will the money come from? And what about immigrants that have green cards now? They will have to compete for jobs even more than before. This can only lead to more homelessness, drug filled corners, gangs, and necessary police protection from higher rates of crime. This means more money will be needed for police, schools, hospitals, etc… The poor will be even more poorer than they already are. For those of you who really want to help the women and children of these illegal immigrants invite them into your homes and foster them until they are educated and able to provide for their families. Everyone feels sad for those who truly are trying to get away from a horrible situation and are applauded for it but do it legally just like everyone else who is is here. It's the right thing to do. Get in line just like everyone else who has been waiting their turn.
I have a very dear friend who waited four years to come here for work. He is from romania, one of the poorest countries in Europe. He and his wife ( He met her here. also a legal immigrant who went through the proper channels to work and live here.) After 4 years my friend returned to Romania. His wife and he had saved over $100K. He started a wirless communications company and a furniture manufacturing bussiness. After seeing his dedication to improve his life and his success in doing so, I would recommend for anyone who wants to come here to improve thier station in life to follow his example. How is it fair for anyone jump the line while legal immigrants are waiting thier turn. I don't respect that. Someone please remember the illegal part. Everone are lately calling them just immigrants. There is a huge difference. For those who break into this country, I wonder at your character because you feel that it's okay to jump in front of those who asked permission to come here. I personally don't want people like that in my country. You are not welcpme. Like my President has said numerous times. We are being sent the worst that countries have to offer. I believe in boarder security. Please don't force us to respond with force. We are a kind country. Our patience with your disregard for our laws and customs is wearing thin. We fight better tha anyone too. We will defend our home from thugs demanding entry.
I am migrant from Asia and to wait several before I was given a green card. My brother and his family waited 12 years for their visas to immigrate to the US was approved. Why can't people from Central America not go through the same process I, my parents and my brother and his family went through before we became immigrants to the US. The US is indeed a nation made up of immigrants and it accepts thousands to come in each, but to make up stories in order to get in the US is not an accepted reason for anyone to cross the border with Mexico. The US is what it is because it tries to abide by its laws and such laws pertains also to people outside its borders!
Any idiot can see this is an invasion are you had to do was listening to Sarah Carter as she was in the midst of those people and 80 to 90% of them were young males this is the recipe for a young army crossing in hiding behind The word protection. If we let this happen you'll be a flood from here on out it will come in and we are broke now we are totally broke thanks to Barack Obama with his $12 trillion of debt plus he is calling his card me to spell's around the world and telling them to send their children to our borders as they will let him in and play on the hearts of American people, this is the way the communist play the game. These people are breaking it need to be shot down like the vermin that they are. If there's that many people fleeing their countries then they need to go and create a civil war against our country and take their own country back we are not the cash cow of the world as we are broke and our families that are getting raped in the middle class or tired of it, and I'm sick and tired of the here and now people especially in the Democrat party like the Clintons and the carries and all them say we need to help these poor people know you need to help him poor people Clinton and carry you have all the millions of dollars give all your money to them and lower yourself to the middle-class standards, along with your brown clown whore Barack Obama Who did test billionaires of what she is now one of your song America down the drain and maybe they won't have so much money.
let those that funded the caravan pay for them now. But you have to remember they did their job, create chaos and get them into the country, or so they thought, where others would pay for them
Personally I want those that funded this caravan to be criminally prosecuted. Can start with child endangerment laws and go to aiding and abetting crminal trespass
I don't feel sorry for the Mexican people their government could have stopped this invading hoard at their southern border but believed that we would cave and except the invaders sorry about your luck Amigos we have a new sheriff in town and his name is Trump Donald Trump and he doesn't play that game I also would like to remind people that if just one American is injured or killed by one of these invaders and judges from the 9th judicial circuits rulings have been either directly or indirectly contributory they and their families should be held criminally responsible and punished one way or the other if it can be proven that George Soros or any other US citizen helped to finance these caravans they should be put in prison for life and forfeit everything they own no private attorneys public defenders just like poor folk . it's my opinion that these money people or Judge's and politicians should not be allowed to escape Justice if someone is hurt or killed no business as usual if court system won't fix the problem we the people can Lock and Load
What amazes me! Every Left Wing Liberal in United States wants the United States to welcome the illegal immigrant's.
But the Liberals talk a good game. Because it's us Conservative Republicans who bare the burden of paying for them. Now if the Liberals and the Hollywood Liberals want to put their Money where there mouth is let them sponsor a Illegal immigrant. But as usual talk is cheap!!!
Why all of a sudden Mexican people want to run over here into the United States. Something is going on Mister forty-five is behind this, and that's my opinion he wants to be right about everything he says. We need to pray for this country because the devil is running it or trying to run it People Are People weather there Republicans Or democrats we need to all get along everything he says is the Democrats fault or Obama's fault this country was messed up for years. I cannot stand watching the news anymore because all you see the most disrespectful ignorant people that is supposed to be running this country. It is so sad in 2018 that this is the most racist place I've ever seen since the the 50s and 60s. We all need to rebuke the devil and make this country right.
people like you are the devil, and this is not sudden. But , of course, if you are a CNN viewer, this is a phantom caravan. Pay attention, this is being orchestrated, but not by Trump. Try George Soros, and the organization that is orchestrating this is based out of Chicago. Enough said!
LOL, the Mexican government thought this was a good idea, until it hit MEXICO….
Hey, Mexico, round them up and head them back…….
BTW: How come Mexico is not enforcing their immigration law?
(maybe because Mexico thought the caravan would embarrass Trump as a "payback"?)
Someone instigated this whole event! They instigated it and are funding it.
Come on – who is feeding them and providing transportation?
Done to rattle Trump! (??)
Libtards are funding it to ensure they get all the refugee votes! There is always an evil method to their madness!
Mexico should have stopped them at their southern border, they didn't!! So now they are Mexico's problem!! Mexico is NOT even implementing their own immigration laws with these migrants. Now these hordes are costing them more than if they had just paid for the wall. These people are free-loaders and cowards!! If they wanted a better life for themselves and their families they should have stayed in their own countries and fought to fix it!!! Most of these migrants are young men , OUR YOUNG MEN GO TO WAR TO DEFEND OUR COUNTRY!!! That's what we Americans did with the British and we won a hard victory!! GO BACK AND FIX YOUR OWN COUNTRIES, DON'T INVADE OUR COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
George Soros and his one world government groupies should rent buses to take these people back to their countries. We the people need to stand up for our Country and make it known that WE the People DO NOT WANT THIS INVASION!!
Supporting these people is coming out of our pockets and frankly I cannot afford it.
Sorry but this is how I feel.

The prospects for an expansion of biogas systems in Sweden - Incentives, barriers and potentials
Research output: Contribution to journal › Review article
title = "The prospects for an expansion of biogas systems in Sweden - Incentives, barriers and potentials",
abstract = "Biogas is a renewable, high-quality fuel, currently produced at more than 200 locations in Sweden. The present production is some 5 PJ/year but the potential is approximately 10 times higher. Biogas can be produced from a wide range of raw materials, from organic waste to dedicated energy crops, and can be utilised for various energy services such as heat, combined heat and power or as a vehicle fuel. Biogas systems are therefore affected by a number of different incentives and barriers, including energy-, waste treatment- and agricultural policies. In this paper, different policies and policy instruments, as well as other factors, which influence a potential expansion of Swedish biogas systems, are identified and evaluated. Existing incentives and barriers can be divided into those affecting the production of biogas, and those affecting the utilisation of the biogas. Only a few types of biogas systems are competitive in Sweden today, while the majority needs increased incentives of different kinds to reach profitability. Such incentives are often motivated from an energy and environmental point of view. Due to the complexity of the biogas systems and the many actors involved, all with different interests, the process of implementing adequate policy instruments will require concerted efforts.

Fashion show to benefit women's charity program
Real Women Fashion Show
When: 2 p.m.-4 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 3
Where: Granby Ranch, 1000 Village Road
Cost: $25, includes refreshments
For more information, call 970-281-5112 or email email@example.com
This weekend, fashionistas can get some local wardrobe inspiration while also supporting local women.
The Bridge Grand County will host its first Real Women Fashion Show, with apparel and accessories for adults and kids from local retailers. Several Grand County vendors will showcase and sell their accouterments, including Be… Boutique, Mountain Flair, the Salon at Winter Park and Changes Thrift Store. Resident artists featured at the show include Lavender Elephant and Marjorie Cranston. All proceeds benefit The Bridge and its outreach programs, which serve local women through faith-based mentorship, resource connection and leadership training. "Up here in the mountains, we tend to be an isolated community, it's hard to make those connections sometimes," said Mary Housely, a founding member of the non-profit organization.
Based in Granby and founded in 2012, The Bridge has 25 mentor volunteers and about as many members, who meet regularly for bible study, book clubs and family groups. While faith-driven, the charity is non-denominational. Housely said one of the group's primary goals is to help women in the community get to know each other. While the fashion show serves as a fundraiser, it will also functions as a networking tool in forming those connections. "Come to show, hear our hearts and what we're doing in community," Housely said. "We want to be a support to one another."

On a recent trip to Budapest, I visited the Hungarian National Gallery. I normally never do much research on museums that I visit, mostly because I like to be surprised by the collections. This trip through the exhibition halls did not disappoint.
The National Gallery boasts a large collection of native Hungarian art and masterpieces from all over Europe. The museum is housed in a grand building which looks like it was renovated during the Soviet era. Many of the guards looked like they had been there since before the iron curtain fell in 1989.
While perusing exhibition halls with grand landscapes by Hungarian artists, I unexpectedly stumbled upon this grand hall that housed Hungarian Gothic altarpieces from 1300-1500.
In the days before television and the internet, religious art was oftentimes some of the only works of art that people saw. The pieces were meant to convey the religious stories and be awe inspiring. Maybe even a beacon of light, in a dark world.
If that was the case, then these altars had turned the light way up.
I have seen a lot of gilding in my time, but these pieces presented a magnificent array of gold leaf techniques, expertly applied onto bole covered surfaces. The blinding reflections that the polished surfaces created, must have beamed across the darkest church. The variety of techniques, ranging from carved gesso, raised gilding and pastille applications created a comprehensive vocabulary for any gilder, whether aspiring or master.
The best part, however, lay in the fact that the museum allowed a look behind the scenes, which gave me an insight into the materials and techniques that these master gilders employed. From exposed layers of gesso and bole, to a view of the backside bracing network on the rear of an altarpiece: no artist's manual can deliver such first hand insight into the art of gilding.

The day I got the phone Bekah and I were in Grand Rapids for an eye doctor appointment. She'd had a black speck taken out of her eye a couple weeks before at the clinic. The same eye was bothering her again so they sent her to get it checked out. It turned out to be nothing and we had a fun day together eating out, running errands, buying smartphones and having a treat at CherryBerry:
Post-bath photos:
This kid needs a haircut!
We were heading out snowmobiling this day and Bekah and Scott declared that the inside of the face masks smelled like Daddy's beard! :)
Speaking of Daddy, here he is talking on his new smartphone and changing a diaper at the same time. What a multi-talented guy!
As we pulled in the yard this day after work/school, Scott was fake whining that I never carried him anymore...so he got a piggyback ride to the house.
The weekend chore of sorting laundry was made way more fun by trying on someone else's pants!
This kid needed a haircut too. Check out his wings/horns:
Aw, but he's oh so snuggly and cute, isn't he???
This happened to Bekah's face:
The incident involved the snowmobile, a sled, a bump, and the bird feeder post. I'm glad I didn't witness it. Taking her to the clinic to see if stitches were needed was enough for me. Thank goodness she did not need stitches and nothing was broken. She is sore and it's so swollen, but it should heal up just fine.I hate it when people take pictures of their hurt or sick kids and then post them on Facebook or scrapbook them. But then Bekah said she'd already snapped a few pics with her own camera because, "I don't wanna forget THIS!", so I figured I'd follow suit. This photo is three days after the accident so you can imagine what it looked like right away. Eeesh!
I'm thinking our family should steer clear of sleds maybe. They seem to be our demise!

Weekend at Bernstein's! A Celebratory Beer Label.
Fun Project Alert!
The ask was to design a beer label for Joshua M. Bernstein's 40th-birthday beach bash! The cans were designed to pay homage to one of my childhood favorite movies: Weekend at Bernie's. We collaborated with KCBC to wrap their delicious session IPA in these cheeky Weekend at Bernstein's labels. We swapped out Bernie for a picture of Josh and added 1989-appropriate graphics, typography and fonts.
The cans were a party hit: Not only was the beer delicious, but folks also went wild over the ridiculous custom can design.

Secrets of a Red Solo Cup
Nerd alert! Typically on Tuesdays, I'm taking grad classes. This morning, I really wanted to finish the journal article I was reading on the metro about innovative interventions aimed at reducing binge drinking. Then at work, I created a page about how sexual predators use coercion to increase their targets alcohol intake (leading to binge drinking- 4 or more drinks for women and 5 or more drinks for men), and how predators use potential harmful effects of binge drinking to their advantage.
Talking about alcohol can be tricky. Really good people offer to buy someone a drink while out and about without bad intentions. People can consume a lot of alcohol without it resulting in a physical or sexual assault. Awareness of tactics sexual predators use is important. Conversations with friends before going out about expectations, plans for what to do if someone gets separated from the group, how to respond if something doesn't seem right are all important in regards to safety.
Here are a few point about alcohol abuse and perpetrators when it comes to sexual assault:
- Although the media has labeled drugs such as Rohypnol and GHB as the date-rape drugs of the present, these are only two of the many drugs used to incapacitate a victim. Of the 22 substances used in drug-facilitated rapes, alcohol is the most common. (LeBeau, M., et al., Recommendations for Toxicological Investigations of Drug Facilitated Sexual Assaults, Journal of Forensic Sciences. 1999.)
- The relationship between alcohol and rape is multifaceted, and alcohol may be both a precipitant of and an excuse for sexually aggressive behavior by men (Abbey et al., 2001; Berkowitz, 1992; Larimer et al., 1999; Richardson & Hammock, 1991).
- Men who have committed sexual assault also frequently report getting their female companion drunk as a way of making it easier to talk or force her into having sex. (Abbey, McAuslan, & Ross, 1998).
- Alcohol was a factor in 61% of Kanin's sample of college date rapists, and 76% of his sample admitted to attempts to intoxicate a female date (Kanin, 1985).
- In a study on male sexual coercion, 23% of college men admitted to getting a date drunk or stoned to engage in sexual intercourse, and 23% of women reported a date getting them drunk or stoned and engaging in unwanted sex (Tyler, et al., 1998).
- Alcohol can be a disinhibitor and increase sexual impulsivity, as well as lower an individual's detection of risk and impair their ability to resist assault (Abbey, 1991).
- Intercourse obviously cannot be consensual when one individual is incapacitated due to intoxication. Men may believe that there are fewer risks associated with coercive sex when they are intoxicated (Tyler et al., 1998).

A standard leftist critique of the world in which we live is that it's entirely run by money, that the powers that be only ever care about profits, etc.
But nothing could be further from the truth. I see ideology trump the profit motive every day, in both big things and small.
One of the clearest, though obviously not the most important, examples of this phenomenon can be observed in team sports.
What is the most obvious way for team owners and leagues to earn more money? The answer's simple: making teams monoethnic. Believe me, the Fighting Irish would be a lot more popular than they are now if all their players were actually Irish. It wouldn't even matter if they ever won anything. The Soviet Union never had a hope of winning the soccer World Cup when I was a kid, yet the streets literally went empty every time the national team played an important game. People will root for their own no matter how much they suck for the same reason that parents routinely sacrifice the world for their mediocre or imbecile kids instead of dutifully supporting other people's little geniuses.
A profit-maximizing setup for the NFL would have a Black team, a Mulatto team, an Irish team, an Italian team, a couple of southern White teams, a Midwestern White team, etc. Such a league would be so much more popular than the current one that it would actually take money away from most other leasure-oriented industries. Music, movies, travel, hiking - everything except for porn and hard drugs would suffer a severe downturn in popularity. If you know of any other types of entertainment that could reliably outcompete simulated race war in the public mind, I would like to hear of it.
And yet team owners are completely powerless to change the laws that ban the monoethnic setup, laws that are clearly depriving them of historic profits. So much for the power of money to influence policy.
Some would say that the reason why the reigning ideology effectively bans monoethnic professional teams is to minimize ethnic conflict. These people are idiots. The easiest way to minimize ethnic conflict is to have monoethnic countries, and the reigning ideology is obviously against that. Also, experience shows that tournaments involving ethnic teams don't have to lead to any violence at all. During my Soviet soccer-watching childhood Dynamo Tbilisi's roster was 100% Georgian, Ararat's was 100% Armenian, the Ukrainian teams were overwhelmingly Ukrainian, etc., and yet ethnic conflict across the old USSR couldn't be more dormant at that time. This was mostly due to the post-WWII Soviet state's discouragement of mass population movements. As a result, the average citizen still lived in the roughly monoethnic environemnt of his ancestors.
If the people who run things in the modern West want to discourage ethic strife, they're obviously tackling the wrong end of the problem.
By the way, I only picked sports to illustrate my point because it was the first example that occured to me. In pretty much every other industry ideology lords over the profit motive 9 times out of 10.
The easiest way to make money in Manhattan real estate would be to bribe local politicians to relocate housing projects to Whocaresville and to build luxury towers in their place. Yet this would make Manhattan even less NAM-mmy than it already is, so it's ideologically unacceptable.
Any US airline could increase its profits if, like Asian ones, it started hiring only young, attractive women as stewardesses. And yet they're powerless to change the rules that don't allow them to do that.
Thousands of firms could become more efficient if, when hiring, they relied on actual IQ tests instead of on imperfect proxies like what colleges applicants went to. But that's been declared illegal too.
And so on. The idea that money is the biggest motivating factor on the big stage is naive.

EAST HANTS: The East Hants Shooters Bar and Grill Mastodons are getting ready to host the best from across the country in their own backyard.
East Hants—defending champions from the 2017 Senior Men's Fast Pitch championship—will host teams from all provinces with the exception of Manitoba and Quebec to date at the St. Croix Recreation Centre ball fields. It will be the third time since 1998 the fields have hosted the senior championships.
It will be the Mastodons first time hosting the high level of calibre of ball.
East Hants consists of a number of quality players from both East and West Hants.
Ten teams will be participating in senior men's championships. Those provinces represented will be: Ontario (two teams); Saskatchewan (two teams); N.S. (besides the Mastodons, one other team from Guysburough will hit the field); while one team from each of Alberta; Prince Edward Island; British Columbia; and Newfoundland and Labrador will make the venture to St. Croix.
The tournament begins on August 29, with the host Mastodons first game at 11 a.m. when they oppose B.C. later in the day, at 6:30 P.M., the Mastodons will battle Ontario. Opening ceremonies are set for 6 p.m.
Other East Hants games will be: Aug. 30 against Sask. 2 at 12:30 p.m. and Sask. 1 in the night capper at 9 p.m.; Aug. 31 East Hants will battle Ont. 1 at 12:30 p.m. before taking on PEI in the night cap at 9 p.m.
Playoff action will be Sept. 1, with the championship game set for Sept. 2 at 4 p.m.
The Masters Men's championship will also be taking place during the same time frame in St. Croix.

Terrorists have struck again. This time they have killed some smart alec French cartoonists who offended their prophet Mohammed. Islam has been front and center as Public Enemy #1 since long before 9/11/2001. No, wait, I didn't mean to say Islam is public enemy #1, we are not at war with Islam. What we refuse to realize is that Islam is at war with us, and Europe, and Asia, and Africa, and Australia, and South America, and even Antarctica. Islam is even at war with Islam. I fear that America is fast asleep, secure in our supposed immunity from terrorist activity since 9/11. After all our government will be quick to tell us there has not been a major attack on US soil since 9/11. Major Nidal Hassan committed a workplace violence and the guy up in Oklahoma was mad at his boss. The Underwear Bomber got caught and Benghazi is in Libya not the USA besides nothing else has happened…right?
From what I have seen Charlie Hebdo is so disgusting you wouldn't even want to use its pages as toilet paper. However, there is no excuse to kill the people who produce and write this filthy magazine. I am sorry for their loss, and the bigger loss of the families of those slain. Maybe this will begin to wake France and the rest of Europe up to the fact of Islamic conquest. Emir Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi Abd al Rahman could not conquer France in 732 through conquest, but the Islamic hordes surly have invaded and nearly conquered France in the 21st century.
Islam is a plague upon this world. Its vile prophet's bones have long turned to dust and his soul waits in Hell for judgment, but the demons he loosed on this earth roam the streets of Paris, London, Berlin, Amsterdam, Madrid, New York, Detroit, Los Angels, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, and every other major city in the world. We had better wake up in this country and cast out these demons.
I do not believe our Founding Fathers intended to extend religious freedom to the seditious murderous Muslims. Neither did they intend to paralyze our country with freedom of religion, but that is exactly what is happening. The only truly moderate Muslim is a non practicing Muslim. There are 47 countries in the world which are majority Muslim in population, let these blood thirsty beasts be sent to one of those 47 countries. Most of the 47 countries are in turmoil. Muslims hate each other almost as much as they hate Jews and Westerners. The Shiites kill the Sunni's the Sunni's kill the Shiites, they blow each other up, go to war, fight in the streets and we have welcomed this madness into our country with open arms, and low and behold, they are doing the same things here. The idea of Islamic freedom of religion is this: you have the freedom to accept Allah and submit to his will or we will kill you.
A brief background will help you understand the rift in Islam. The Sunni's believe that Sunnah is Abu Bakr was the rightful political heir to Mohammed. Sunnah is Abu Bakr was Mohammed's father-in-law and father of A'ishah his favorite wife. Mohammed married A'ishah when she was six or seven years old. Now, I know what you are thinking, but don't worry, A'ishah stayed with her parents and the marriage was not consummated when she was six or seven. She moved in with Mohammed and the marriage was consummated when she was much older, like eight or nine. Yes ladies and gentlemen, Mohammed was a pedophile. Ok, where was I, oh yeah, the Shiites followed Mohammed's son-in-law Ali ibn Abi Talib. Mohammed's daughter Fatimah was married to Ali ibn Abi Talib.
Here is a question for you dear reader. Who is worse, the child molester or the one who facilitates the child molesting? One more question. Is the facilitator of the child molesting even worse if he is the child's father? The overwhelming majority of the Muslim world follows Sunnah is Abu Bakr, the father who allowed Mohammed to have sexual relations with his eight or nine year old daughter. Least you think otherwise, pedophilia was not a common practice in Mohammed's day. He was a pervert. Close to 90% of Muslims are Sunni's and believe the pimp Sunnah is Abu Bakr is the rightful political heir to Mohammed. Before you start to think the Shiites are better understand that Iran is a majority Shia nation and they are just as evil as ISIS, they are not as ambitious but every bit as evil. When ISIS finally defeats all of Iraq, there will be a great war between ISIS and Iran. On which side will the USA find itself?
ISIS are Sunnis, Sunnis are nearly 90% of the Muslim world. If you know a Muslim chances are they are Sunni. ISIS is blazing across Syria and Iraq conquering land and slaughtering Shiites by the thousands. Christians are fleeing Syria and Iraq by the tens of thousands. Cities are being destroyed, business ruined, land and property confiscated, and worst of all people are being slaughtered like cattle. Be-headings, firing squads, and crucifixions are common sights in Iraq and Syria these days, but do you know who ISIS is, do you know when and how they were formed? Watch this in-depth video, it is 21 minutes but well worth your time.
You have just found out that we supplied ISIS with weapons and they are monetarily backed by our allies Saudi Arabia, Turkey, UAE, and Qatar. Wow, what a tangled web we weave eh? You also found out that ISIS filled the void we made when we left Iraq. It is a shame that we wasted the lives of all those young Americans in Iraq, just to pave the way for ISIS. ISIS should be singing the praises of the Obama administration, and it wouldn't surprise me if they are.
Would it surprise you to know that there have been 41 terrorist attacks in the USA since 9/11/2001. We only hear about the major ones like the Boston Marathon Bombing or the Ft. Hood Massacre, but there are many more that never receive national attention. Here is a link to a list dating back to 1972
What do our leaders have to say about Islam?
"The future must not belong to those who slander the Prophet of Islam" – President Obama
"Some of the comments that have been uttered about Islam do not reflect the sentiments of my government or the sentiments of most Americans. Islam, as practiced by the vast majority of people, is a peaceful religion, a religion that respects others. Ours is a country based upon tolerance and we welcome people of all faiths in America." – President George W. Bush
"The sweetest sound I know is the Muslim call to prayer" – President Obama
"Islam is a vibrant faith. Millions of our fellow citizens are Muslim. We respect the faith. We honor its traditions. Our enemy does not. Our enemy doesn't follow the great traditions of Islam. They've hijacked a great religion." – President George W. Bush
"I made clear that America is not – and never will be – at war with Islam." -President Obama
There are many others but you get the point. Here is a list of 40 Obama quotes that will turn your stomach.
The point is our leaders are blind to the true identity and destructive nature of Islam. Islam is diametrically opposed to freedom, peace, tolerance, Christianity, and the Western World. Islam is a cancer that is destroying the connective tissue of our society. Islam is a virus and it is spreading much faster than Ebola ever will. Since 632 AD, Muslims have hacked and slashed their way through the world, conquering and subjecting populations to the constraints of Islam.
This map shows the voracious appetite Mohammad infected his followers with to conquer the world in the name of Allah. Had it not been for the intervention of Charles Martel at the battle of Tours in 732 perhaps all of Europe would have been converted under the sword to Islam.
Today Islamic control looks like this:
For the last decade in our country we have seen increasing calls from Imam's to bring Sharia Law to America. In France, England, Belgium, Sweden, Italy, the Netherlands and all across Europe there are "No Go Zones" in which the laws of the country are suspended and Shariah Law rules. Of course this will never happen in America right? In Dearborn, Michigan Sunday June 17, 2012 several Christians were driven out of the Arab-American Festival. Rocks, bottles, milk crates, and chunks of concrete along with other debris were hurled at the Christians who were wearing tee shirts with slogans such as Trust Jesus. They were also carrying signs with Bible verses. These men were not driven out by the Future American Radical Terrorists or F.A.R.T. as I like to call them, but they were driven out by the Dearborn Police Department. Once they were back in their vehicle and leaving the area the Dearborn P.D. pulled them over. The men asked for an escort of 2 cops to continue walking through the festival with their signs and tee-shirts, but the cops refused. The cops said they had 25-30 cops to patrol 100,000 people. Of course they were able to spare 16 cops and 4 mounted cops to escort them out of the festival, and they were able to spare 12 cops to pull them over once they were on the road. Dearborn has a Muslim No Go Zone but what they do not have is a police force dedicated to protect American's rights.
Maybe you are thinking it is no big deal. After all every single immigrant community in the history of the USA has established their own communities and had some form of inside justice system. The Irish had the Ward Bosses, the Italians had the Mafia, the Chinese had their system as well as the Germans, Polish, and even the Hispanics. So perhaps it is no big deal and just part of the assimilation process for immigrants. Here are some of the laws of Shariah:
• Theft is punishable by amputation of the right hand.
• Criticizing or denying any part of the Koran is punishable by death.
• Criticizing or denying Muhammad is a prophet is punishable by death.
• Criticizing or denying Allah of Islam is punishable by death.
• A Muslim who becomes a non-Muslim is punishable by death.
• A non-Muslim who leads a Muslim away from Islam is punishable by death.
• A non-Muslim man who marries a Muslim woman is punishable by death.
• A man can marry an infant girl and consummate the marriage when she is 9 years old
• A woman can have 1 husband, but a man can have up to 4 wives.
• A man can unilaterally divorce his wife but a woman needs her husband's consent to divorce.
• A man can beat his wife for insubordination.
• Testimonies of four male witnesses are required to prove rape against a woman.
• A woman who has been raped cannot testify in court against her rapist(s).
• A woman's testimony in court, allowed only in property cases, carries half the weight of a man's.
• A female heir inherits half of what a male heir inherits.
• A woman cannot drive a car, as it leads to fitnah (upheaval).
• A woman cannot speak alone to a man who is not her husband or relative.
• Muslims should engage in Tagiyya and lie to non-Muslims to advance Islam.
• The list goes on.
These false god worshiping lunatics are not like the immigrants of the past. Shariah Law is 100% in effect in Saudi Arabia. In Saudi Arabia they behead people, they crucify people, they chop off hands, they imprison women, rape is practically legal, there is very little difference between Saudi Arabia and ISIS in practice, but Saudi Arabia is our ally and ISIS is our enemy, but Saudi Arabia funds ISIS. Saudi Arabia is considered a moderate Islamic country. Are you confused as to why Saudi Arabia is our ally? So am I. Are you confused as to why Saudi Arabia is considered a moderate Islamic country? So am I. Is this what we want our country to look like? One last thing, that great speaker of the House John Boehner allowed a known anti-American Islamic radical Imam open Congress in prayer a week after the Republican sweep of the House and Senate.
P.S. Yes, I am a little nervous publishing this, but let God be praised you can't threaten me with Heaven. Besides only about 4 of you will read this.

Firms across the manufacturing and service sectors are now a bit more upbeat about business prospects than they were three months ago, according to results of surveys by the Economic Development Board (EDB) and the Department of Statistics (DOS) released yesterday.
A weighted 15 per cent of factory bosses polled by the EDB expect business conditions to improve over the next six months, compared with just 7 per cent who said so in January.
Similarly, a weighted 14 per cent of factory bosses think business will deteriorate, a sharp fall from the 29 per cent who predicted a slump in January.
Of the 433 manufacturers polled, 96 per cent responded, and individual responses were weighted by their contribution to employment and value added, said the EDB.
In the service sector, optimism was lined with far more caution. More firms continued to foresee slower business over the next six months than those expecting conditions to improve, although the number of optimists has crept up slightly.
A weighted 12 per cent of the 1,500 service firms polled by the DOS from March to April were optimistic, up from 10 per cent in January.
We believe the market is underestimating STB's extensive digital marketing efforts in China, which has kept Singapore a popular destination for Chinese tourists.
A weighted 25 per cent of firms polled were pessimistic, down from 28 per cent in January.
The greatest pessimists were firms from the real estate industry such as property developers. The information and communications cluster and recreation and healthcare sector were the only two segments where optimists outnumbered pessimists.
But the slight uptick in optimism has good grounds - there is a chance that tourism could give the service sector a lift this year, said Credit Suisse analyst Gerald Wong.
Mr Wong expects tourist arrivals to hit a record high of more than 16 million this year, above the Singapore Tourism Board's (STB) expectations of between 15.2 million and 15.7 million, and better than the high of 15.6 million reached in 2013.
"We believe the market is underestimating STB's extensive digital marketing efforts in China, which has kept Singapore a popular destination for Chinese tourists," he said.
"The strong pick-up in tourist arrivals has been driven by Chinese tourist arrivals, which recovered strongly from mid-2015."
A tourism rebound is also being bolstered by the rise in Changi Airport passenger volumes, Singapore Airlines passenger volumes and revenue per available hotel room compiled by the STB, Mr Wong said.
Within the manufacturing clusters, precision engineering firms were the most upbeat, with semiconductor equipment and bonding wire firms anticipating higher orders in the next three months.

Death for Dinner
Health inspector Poppy Markham suspects murder when a popular chef buys the (organic) farm.
Feast in the Field is the event of the season for Austin foodies. A fine-dining affair hosted by the Friends of the Farm, it's Poppy Markham's favorite opportunity to drink boutique wine and get the latest scuttlebutt from her pals in the restaurant business. But this year's hottest dish of gourmet gossip won't be whispered over a plate of cucumber crudit's. Instead, it will be the announcement of the organization's new president-elect. The competition between the candidates has been hotter than horseradish, and when the winner--uptight restaurateur Dana White--is struck down in her own kitchen, it's up to Poppy to figure out who took her off the menu.
"A must-read for cozy lovers."--Publishers Weekly
"Allen delivers a breezy and likeable menu."--Kirkus Reviews

Ignoring the fact that a remix isn't warranted here, the break with his own melody is pretty decent. The climax is terrible though, everything seems to be competing for attention, clashing with each other and generally just being an absolute mess.
One of the few tracks I thought could remain untouchable....

A very tasty, quick meal. If you use frozen meatballs, the preparation is about 15 minutes. A lot faster than going out for fast food or pizza, and so much healthier and cheaper!
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Yield: 4 servings of 5 meatballs
I was looking through a Cooking Light magazine and found this delicious-looking recipe. It did not disappoint. The original recipe calls for 90% lean ground sirloin.
Mix 3/4 cup of the water and 1/4 cup of the soup in a large bowl. Add meat, dry stuffing mix and eggs; mix lightly. Divide meat mixture in half. Cover and refrigerate half of the meat mixture for up to 24 hours.
Love the sweet taste of the sauce on these meatballs!
Love the gravy that this recipe makes! Very, very good!
Using your favorite recipe for meatballs or purchased frozen meatballs, brown in a skillet. Add 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, 1 can of coconut milk, and 1/2 cup minced parsley (optional).
Mix top ingredients and form into small balls. Place formed balls in 9x13 inch baking dish. Melt the sauce and pour over meat balls.
Mix all ingredients and form meatballs. Bake in shallow pan at 350 degrees F for 10-12 minutes until browned and cooked through.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, chopped onion, bread crumbs, egg, and milk...

I made this when I was a teenager and it never failed. Instead of beef, use pork or turkey or what ever ground meat you choose. I promise you will not fail with this recipe.
Virginia Scott's Swedish Meatballs
By Peg Crooks
Soak bread crumbs in milk; squeeze most of milk out of bread crumbs and add this to beaten eggs. Add mixture plus all but last three ingredients to ground beef and work well until well blended. Be sure onion is grated well.
Shape into small balls about the size of a marble and brown lightly until brown. Remove meat and keep warm in serving dish. Add flour and dash of spices used; stir 1-2 minutes.

WholemegaNature's Whole Complement of Sixteen Omegas – 3, 5, 6, 7 and 9's
•Bioavailable: Clinically Shown to Enter Cell Membranes for Optimal Fish Oil Benefits
•Effective: Helps Restore Natural Balance of Omega-3 to Omega-6*
•Whole: Natural Source of 16 Omegas + Vitamin D3 + Astaxanthin
A Whole New Approach To Fish Oil
New Chapter is proud to offer a whole-food approach to fish oil and an alternative to the fractionated, high-heat processed and "purified" oils on the market today. From the pristine, protected waters of Alaska directly to you, Wholemega is 100% wild-caught salmon oil; rigorously tested to ensure each capsule delivers Nature's bioavailable, effective, and whole basket of vital fatty acids and beneficial nutrients.
Omega Oils & Optimal Health
Natural salmon oil contains Astaxanthin and a balance of vital Omega 3, 5, 6, 7 and 9's, often referred to as "good fats." These good fats, which include two essential fatty acids the human body cannot produce on its own, serve to nourish brain, heart, eye, and kidney tissues.* They have been shown to benefit cardiovascular, immune system, brain, and digestive health.*
The Difference is Clear
The dull, yellow hue and watery texture of conventional fish oil capsules is symbolic of "purified" products. This heavy distillation (which can be necessary to remove contaminants) can fractionate, isolate, and destroy beneficial Astaxanthin and compounds that give fish oil its naturally vibrant color and clarity.
The Benefits of Whole Fish Oil
Wholemega is a true expression of nature's wisdom. By using only sustainably caught Alaskan salmon – among the world's cleanest and most pure fish stocks in the world – chemical processing to deliver purity is not required. Our extra virgin, low-heat process is all that's needed to deliver Nature's whole basket of vital Omega fatty acids and naturally beneficial nutrients, like Vitamin D3 and Astaxanthin. As a FOOD GRADE oil, Wholemega is extensively tested for detectable contaminants that other fish oil products must "purify" or distill out.
Wholemega, however, delivers an oil that is striking in color and transparency. The brilliant hue in Wholemega comes from Astaxanthin – an extremely powerful antioxidant that is naturally found in wild salmon and abundant in this extra virgin fish oil. The gentle process used to extract Wholemega preserves this antioxidant as well as numerous other beneficial compounds – including Vitamin D. In fact, this whole oil is delivered from a government inspected FOOD GRADE facility.
For optimal benefit, fish oil must be incorporated into cell membranes, where it serves to modulate cell signal events (e.g. modulate inflammation) and increases membrane fluidity.* As demonstrated in a human clinical trial, Wholemega has been shown to incorporate into peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) – allowing fish oil to provide its beneficial effects.
Additionally, Wholemega has been shown to down-regulate arachidonic acid (AA); helping to restore the natural balance of Omega-3 (EPA) to Omega-6 (AA) fatty acids.* Data also indicates Wholemega may down-regulate C-Reactive Protein – a key marker for heart health – and help maintain healthy cholesterol levels already within a normal range.*

Published at Wednesday, August 28th 2019, 13:29:17 PM by Frederique Perillard. Living Room
The feel of a living space in manipulated with the way furniture is placed in it; the way colors are added to it and accents that are used in it. Different design elements can completely transform the look and feel of a living room. Even if your living room is a problem spot in your house, do not despair there are solutions to minimize the things you don't like and maximize the potential that is there.
Most living rooms are constructed with a traditional sectional couch, love seat and reclining chair. Many traditional spaces also feature hardwood floors and area rugs in the middle of the room. The room is capped off with attractive frames and nice accents on the mantle. A nice entertainment center also adds a nice touch and houses not only the television, but also music equipment and accessories. Country living designs give living rooms a nice rustic, down-to-earth feel when people spend time in this living space. In addition to soft, comfortable couches and cozy chairs, people also add nice country accents, such as wreaths, framed, cross-stitched pictures and beautiful quilts to bring out the country look in the room. Big, soft couches and chairs, oblong-shaped coffee tables with soft colored walls make the room feel welcoming and comfortable.

Bourjois Cream Blush
When it comes to cream blushers, I usually stay away. I'd always found them a bit of a mystery as I'm used to applying blusher over powder so I was never really sure what the correct method was to using them. I'd tried the dap and blend with finger method but it always looked a bit messy and I'd end up ruining my foundation in the process. Since my new Real Techniques Stippling brush arrived, I've figured out a method I love and have been cream blusher mad ever since. My latest cream blusher obsession is the new Cream Blushers* by Bourjois.
If you go to Bourjois, you'd probably be heading straight for the blushers. Those little round pots have been around for so long and everyone goes crazy when new additions are added. I'm pretty sure I still have a few from the Paris collection, they last forever!
The latest addition to the collection is these Cream Blushers which come in 4 different shades. Here I have 01 in Nude Velvet and 03 in Rose Tender.
Nude Velvet is a shade which I've never come across before. I'd describe it as a sort of orange toned pink, which is great for bringing a bit of warmth to the face. Where as Rose Tender is your more traditional rosy pink which gives your skin a sort of inner glow to it. It also has a slight shimmer to it, whereas Nude Velvet is more of a matte finish.
Compared to the little round blusher pots, the packaging is a smaller and thinner, which might put people off but I think they're a great size. For those who want to experiment in cream blushers but don't want to spend a fortune, or buy a larger product to find they don't like it, it's perfect. It also has a mirror so it's the perfect product to use on the go or to fit in your make up bag.
The application itself is really lovely. The blushers apply in a sort of cream to powder way and it never looks cakey when applied. When I use it with the stippling brush it provides the perfect application and in my opinion it looks more natural than powder blushers.
As I'm going through a pretty bad breakout at the moment, I thought it best not to show it on to save you all the horror but I'll direct you to Ysis' post who has the same shades so you can see what it looks like on.
If I had to choose out of the two, I'd probably go for Rose Tender as it's a colour I'd usually use more and it really compliments my pale skin.
I'm really enjoying using them and I think I'll have to pick up a few more shades!

Updated at 2:50 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.: Revised to include a third advertisement from Cruz and a fundraising email from O'Rourke.
WASHINGTON — As polls show his challenger closing in, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz has started buying television ads.
The Cruz campaign launched three TV ads Friday, the same day that the Cook Political Report, which does elections analysis, moved his race against Democratic El Paso Congressman Beto O'Rourke from "likely Republican" to "leans Republican."
Two ads, as reported by the Texas Tribune, directly attack O'Rourke on drug issues and connections to Democratic party leaders. The other, released by Cruz's staff, highlights Cruz's role in securing recovery funding after Hurricane Harvey.
In the first attack ad, Cruz touts a bill that he and U.S. Rep. Kevin Brady, R-The Woodlands, supported to expand drug testing for unemployment benefits. Trump signed the bill into law in March 2017.
Cruz contrasts his legislation with comments O'Rourke made in 2009 as an El Paso City Council member when he called for a discussion about legalizing narcotics in the United States.
"Beto O'Rourke said we should consider legalizing all narcotics, including heroin," the ad says.
The ad language is more accurate than previous attacks Cruz has made on the topic.
Cruz claimed in a May 2018 tweet that O'Rourke proposed a "radical resolution" legalizing narcotics. The statement was rated "false" by the fact-checking organization Politifact because the resolution called for discussion but did not actually legalize narcotics.
With opioids ravaging so many American communities, Congressman Beto O'Rourke's radical resolution to legalize all narcotics—including heroin and other deadly opioids—is looking worse and worse all the time: https://t.co/VdwaYMccMn #TXSen— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) May 1, 2018
Politifact found that O'Rourke was quoted saying that ending a prohibition of narcotics "should at least be on the table, and so far it hasn't."
O'Rourke later walked back his statements and called the proposition "artless, and even inaccurate" in his 2011 book titled Dealing Death and Drugs: The Big Business of Dope in the U.S. and Mexico.
"I only learned later that marijuana is not a narcotic, even though it was precisely that drug that I felt people would be most open to debating," O'Rourke wrote.
O'Rourke supports ending the federal ban on marijuana and "ending the U.S. government's war on drugs," according to his campaign website.
The Texas Tribune reported that the attack ad on drug issues is running in Lubbock.
Another anti-O'Rourke ad echoes the drug legalization claim, and contends that O'Rourke is more liberal on some issues than Democratic party leaders. The second ad was first reported by the Texas Tribune.
Cruz characterizes O'Rourke's comment on legalizing narcotics and statements that he would vote to impeach President Donald Trump and abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (which he has since backed away from) as more extreme than liberal Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California and Sens. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts.
"If Beto O'Rourke's positions are too extreme even for them, he's just too reckless for Texas," the ad's closing lines say.
O'Rourke sent out a fundraising plea Friday calling one of the attack ads -- it's unclear which -- "as misleading and dirty as they come."
"We're going to keep this campaign positive, and in doing so we'll send an unmistakable message about the way campaigns should be run," the fundraising email continued.
The other spot highlights Cruz's work on Hurricane Harvey relief and will air in Beaumont. In 2016, Jefferson County voted for President Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton, but only by 0.5 percent.
The release did not include how much the Cruz campaign spent on the ad purchases.
Senate seats in Texas are usually solidly red — the state hasn't had a Democratic senator in 25 years. Cruz enjoys wide name recognition after his presidential bid in 2016. But O'Rourke has him worried.
Two polls that came out this week showed Cruz's lead narrowing — Quinnipiac University estimated a 6-point Cruz advantage, and Texas Lyceum called it a 2-point race.
"There have been polls all over the place, but there is no doubt that the far left is energized and angry. And that is reflected in the record-breaking fundraising Congressman O'Rourke is seeing, as liberals all over the country are pouring millions of dollars into his campaign," Cruz said after a committee meeting Wednesday. "We are taking the campaign very seriously."
O'Rourke has spurned traditional television advertising, instead putting his time and money into online advertising and shoe-leather campaigning.
He has plenty of money for advertising, as he more than doubled Cruz's fundraising in the second quarter of 2018, pulling in $10.4 million to Cruz's $4.6 million.
O'Rourke released his first, online-only ad last week. The ad featured clips from livestreams of O'Rourke's campaign events spanning every Texas county. His campaign spent a minimum of $26,100 and a maximum of $67,600 promoting the minute-long video on Facebook, according to Facebook data.
A New York University analysis of political Facebook ad archives found that O'Rourke was one of the top ad spenders on the platform. The data shows O'Rourke spent at least $194,400 on 377 ads between September 2014 and July 2018. The only other candidate in the top 10 list was President Donald Trump.
Paul Stekler, a professor of radio and television at the University of Texas at Austin, said O'Rourke's strategy makes sense given the high cost of sustaining a television presence in Texas' 20 media markets. O'Rourke is also the type of candidate who is more comfortable with hours-long, raw Facebook Live streams than glossy television spots.
"O'Rourke's campaign has got a social media strategy, and he's sticking to it," Stekler said. "It's worked for him so far, and that's what he's comfortable with."

Tennessee Walnut Chocolate Pie
Grandma's Butter Crust Pastry
1 cup flour + more to roll out
pinch of salt
pinch of sugar
2 Tbsp. / 30 g cold butter
1/4-1/2 cup cold milk
Walnut Chocolate Filling
4 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup / 140 g brown or fine raw sugar
1/2 cup / 125 ml maple syrup
1 tsp. vanilla
2 Tbsp. whiskey or rum
3 Tbsp. melted butter, cooled
1/2 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. flour
2 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups chopped walnuts (or pecans)
4 oz. / 100 g semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
whipped cream or ice cream for serving, if desired
Preheat oven to 350ºF / 175ºC and prepare a 10" / 26 cm pie/tart/quiche pan.
To make pastry, mix flour, salt, and sugar together, then rub in cold butter until mixture resembles course meal. Stir in milk slowly with a fork, just enough for dough to form a soft ball.
Turn out pastry dough onto a floured surface, and roll out to a thin circle large enough to cover pie or tart pan. Fold dough into quarters, transfer gently to pie pan and unfold. Trim crust as needed to fit pan.
Prick dough with a fork all over and pre-bake crust slightly for about 6-7 minutes. If any bubbles appear in dough, simply prick and press down with a fork. Let cool.
Meanwhile, prepare Walnut Chocolate Filling. Mix together eggs, sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, whiskey, melted butter, and salt until smooth. Gradually sprinkle in flour and cocoa powder, stirring well to prevent lumps. When mixture is smooth, add chopped nuts and chocolate.
Pour walnut chocolate filling into cooled pie crust. Place tart in oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until puffed and golden.
This is especially wonderful when served slightly warm with a dollop of whipped or vanilla ice cream. Greetings from Tennessee!
Apple Cinnamon Creme Fraiche Tart
2 cups / 250 g flour
1/2 cup / 125 g cold butter
1 egg yolk
6-7 Tbsp. ice water, as needed
1/2 cup (125 g) creme fraiche or sour cream
4-5 tart apples (like Granny Smith), peeled + sliced + tossed in the juice of one lemon to prevent browning
3 Tbsp. brown or raw sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 Tbsp. finely chopped almonds or walnuts (optional)
To make pastry: Combine all ingredients to make a smooth dough, adding water as needed, then wrap dough in plastic wrap and let rest for at least 30 minutes before rolling out. Meanwhile, you could peel and slice your apples...
Roll out the dough as thinly as possible into a large free form rectangle. I generally roll out this dough directly onto my baking paper, so that there is no need to transfer the dough.
Spread the creme fraiche or sour cream over the dough, then top with apples in a nice pattern.
Mix together sugar + cinnamon, then sprinkle evenly over the apples. Scatter over chopped almonds or walnuts, if you'd like.
Bake at 375ºF/190ºC for 25 - 30 minutes or until golden brown and apples are tender. Serve warm + this tart will disappear fast.
Quick Cranberry Scones
3 cups flour
4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, cut into small pieces
1 cup fresh cranberries
1 egg
about 1/2 cup milk
Preheat oven to 400ºF / 200ºC. Grease or line a large baking sheet.
Stir together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Cut butter into flour mixture using fingers or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gently mix in cranberries very carefully. Break egg into a measuring cup for liquids and beat well. Add enough milk to egg to make 3/4 cup, and stir well to blend with egg.
Add milk/egg mixture to dry ingredients; mix gently until particles cling together. Mixture will be very crumbly. Form a ball of dough and divide into two parts. With floured hands, form into 2 balls of dough and place onto the baking sheet. Press each ball of dough into a 6 inch circle (about 3/4 inch / 2 cm high). Using a sharp knife, cut each circle into 6 wedges, and pull apart to separate wedges, leaving at least 1/2 inch between them (dough will expand while baking).
Brush tops with milk, and sprinkle with a bit of sugar if desired.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until lightly golden. Serve hot with butter and enjoy!
Happy holiday baking + warm greetings from Berlin,

Beat The Housing Hiatus With a Bespoke ConservatoryPublished on 18th February 2017
A new, bespoke conservatory could be just the thing for beating the current malaise in the British housing market.
The miserable state of the market, after what looked like a promising boost in sales last year, means many homeowners are once again, opting to say in their current homes and refurbish them, rather than attempt a move. With this mind, some homeowners are looking to extend their properties, and one great way is with the addition of a bespoke conservatory.
A bespoke conservatory is the perfect answer for any homeowner looking to refresh their home, increase their floor space, or wanting a slice of contemporary living. Once installed, you'll be thrilled with the new layout and look of your home – and the extra space and new aesthetics, will make your old property feel brand new.
Conservatory design has come a long way in recent years; particularly in the affordability of bespoke, made to order, conservatory options like those we manufacture, design and install here at Apropos. Today, you can commission a unique conservatory designed and created to match your exact requirements and needs, for just a little more than it would cost for a poor standard, poorly thought out, 'off the shelf', uPVC conservatory design that blights so many of our otherwise beautiful British back gardens. A stunning, contemporary conservatory can be designed to match any requirement, particularly if a homeowner is looking to banish their housing market blues.
A fabulous, bespoke conservatory, like those designed by Apropos, can provide you with substantial extra floor space that can be used all-year-round, thanks to excellent energy efficiency ratings that allow it to be fully integrated into the original home. This extra space can then be used to fabulous effect to house a new living room, dining room, or even kitchen – and means that the choice to improve, rather than move, is a rather savvy one.
A new, bespoke conservatory will also provide the homeowner with a piece of cool, contemporary architecture that will make them the envy of their neighbours. The sleek, minimalist, aluminium frame of an Apropos glass and aluminium design, combines perfectly with the huge glass panelling to accentuate the internal feeling of light and space, whilst providing the conservatory with modern, external aesthetics.
And for those homeowners still looking for a return of investment once the conservatory has been constructed, experts, such as Location Location Location's Phil Spencer, believe that a modern conservatory will add between 5-15 per cent to the value of a home.
Quite simply, a new conservatory will bring much joy to a home whilst proving to be a fantastic investment when the time comes to finally move house. And with all that on offer, why move, when you can improve?

SPX500 Down For Foreseeable Future
FX:SPX500 S&P 500 Index
183 views
Direction down until monthly MACD crosses over.
There will be some healthy retracements in there as happened in 2001 and 2008, but yes, generally down for some time. The first really healthy retracementment should begin in the 1750~1800 area. I'm convinced that the ATHs made this summer will not be challenged for a long, long time. Bottom trend on this chart is broadening as well.

If, like me, you are one of those sad individuals who gets upset when you spot a missing apostrophe on a shop sign or dodgy spelling in a menu, then you probably groaned at page seven of The Sentinel a few days ago.
A specialist agency in London was presumably paid a not insubstantial sum to 'create' the name of the new £350 million shopping centre which will be built on the site of the old bus station.
Bear in mind this is a scheme on which, it is fair to say, much of the hopes for the regeneration of the city centre are based.
The agency came up, wait for it… 'City Sentral' because, and I quote: "The use of the 'S' in Sentral reflects the very nature of the scheme – Stoke-on-Trent as central – while also giving it stand-out quality."
Tragically, there's more where that flannel came from.
Apparently, City Sentral has a "brightly-coloured 'asterisk' icon which reflects the exciting, dynamic nature of the project – with each of the arrows representing a different aspect of the City Sentral offer."
I am not the first, and I dare say won't be the last, to say that this is a crime against the Queen's English. It's also marketing nonsense. Nonsense that starts with a nonsensical name.
Yes, developer Realis has shelled out brass to a branding firm down south who have saddled us with what must be the most expensive spelling mistake in retail history.
Essentially the new name for the East West Precinct says to visitors that here in Stoke-on-Trent there is a desperate shortage of dictionaries.
'City Sentral' basically says we Stokies are either a) thick or b) trying a bit too hard to appear different.
It's so much worse than calling a children's play centre a 'kidz zone' or calling young people's services 'Uth services' because we are talking about a showpiece £350 million development.
I'm pretty sure that had Realis run a competition through this newspaper or even with local schools it would have been presented with several hundred names which are better than City Sentral and a logo which didn't look like it had been created using an Etch A Sketch.
They could have called the new shopping centre 'Hanley One', or 'The Station' or 'The Phoenix'.
For heaven's sake anything would have been better than City Sentral.
It's not that I have anything against the development – unlike my columnist colleague Mike Wolfe. Indeed, I can't wait for work to finally commence and to find out the names of some of the new tenants.
Some will say the name of the new complex is irrelevant but I disagree.
I'm just so disappointed that, in trying to be clever, Stoke-on-Trent has once again ended up with egg on its face.
Contrast this then with the Potteries Shopping Centre (a proper name that is because it does what it says on the tin) which has just announced a planned £14 million extension.
I suppose the owners of Hanley's main retail complex had to react in some way to what's about the happen at the old bus station site and I, for one, am delighted with the proposals.
Six restaurants, a 10-screen cinema, more parking spaces and 200 jobs? I'll have some of that, please.
Forget the nay-sayers with their predictions of doom and gloom for Festival Park.
Just ask yourself this question: What kind of city centre doesn't have a cinema? Enough said.
It strikes me that more and better places to eat and a multiplex movie theatre will perfectly complement the existing stores and market stalls.
So let's finish on a positive note. When you combine what Realis is about to do at the bus station site with the expansion of the Potteries Shopping Centre, the opening of the wonderful Mitchell Memorial Youth Arts Centre and plans to upgrade the Potteries Museum and Art Gallery to take advantage of the acquisition of the Staffordshire Hoard, we are in danger of having a city centre to be proud of.
More to the point, it would be somewhere where you could genuinely spend a day out.
So long as you can stomach the poor grammar, that is.
It's great news up 'Anley. Just a shame about the spelling…
If, like me, you are one of those sad individuals who gets upset when you spot a missing apostrophe on a shop sign or dodgy spelling in a menu, then you probably groaned at page seven of The Sentinel a few days ago.

Both Arthritis New Zealand and the Mul- tiple Sclerosis Society of NZ are each offering two scholarships to attend Aspire -- a low impact Outward Bound course tailored for people with a physical limitation or old sporting injury. Outward Bound chief executive, Trevor Taylor, who has himself under- gone a bi-lateral knee transplant, relating to a history of arthritis, recently attended the course. For years I'd wanted to take part in an Out- ward Bound course but was restricted in terms of what I could do due to the operation I had undergone. The introduction of the Aspire course changed all of that for me and after nine years at the helm at Outward Bound I was finally able to fully immerse myself in one of our courses.'' Trevor said Aspire has been cleverly designed to offer all the challenge, adventure and excite- ment of a typical Out- ward Bound course but with less physical impact. Whilst on the course, I participated in all the usual activities Outward Bound is renowned for including sailing, kayaking and rock climb- ing. I was able to do so because all of the activi- ties had been carefully adapted to cater for people who might have problems arising from a previous injury or medi- cal issue. We're delighted to be able to extend this eight day course to people with arthritis and multiple sclerosis. The development of these scholarships, with Arthritis New Zealand and the Multiple Scler- osis Society of New Zea- land, forms part of our commitment to making the benefits of an Out- ward Bound experience accessible to as many New Zealanders as poss- ible. The aim of the course is to get people who find physical activity chal- lenging into the outdoors and really challenge them in a safe and con- sidered way. Aside from the physi- cal activities, participants will also be encouraged to step out- side their comfort zones mentally so that they can gain a better under- standing of their own personal strengths.'' To be eligible for one of the scholarships, applicants must be over 27 years old and have multiple sclerosis or arthritis. Scholarship applications close on Friday November 26 2010. The course will take place from February 13 to 20 2011. To find out more about Aspire or to book a place on the course go to www.outwardbound.co .nz/aspire or call 0800 OUTWARD (688 927).
