Leaders of the Wellness Revolution
Source Naturals was created in 1982 by C.E.O Ira Goldberg to support each individual's potential to enjoy optimal health. At that time, the kind of nutritional formulations he envisioned – for the maintenance of well-being and the enhancement of life – simply didn't exist. The idea of combining many nutrients, herbs, and nutraceuticals in one formulation, though common today, was then a rarity. Source Naturals pioneered the concept with Wellness Formula, now the industry's #1 immune support product.
Source Naturals subsequently introduced numerous award-winning formulas, recognized for their excellence in independent surveys and nutritional analyses. In addition to Wellness, these award-winners include Life Force Multiple, Mega-Kid Multiple, Inflama-Rest, the Skin Eternal line, Higher Mind, Essential Enzymes, Male Response, and more.
Source Naturals' comprehensive Bio-Aligned Formulas help bring the power of alignment to your body. When formulating, they evaluate the underlying causes of system imbalances, and then provide targeted nutrition to interdependent body systems. Their line of more than 600 products also includes well-researched, single entity nutrients in their highest quality and most bioavailable forms.
Source Naturals' nutritional supplements are at the leading edge of today's Wellness Revolution. This transformation in health consciousness also includes new perspectives in diet, lifestyle, emotional, and spiritual development, and complementary health care. Source Naturals Strategy for Wellness is to provide education that empowers individuals to take responsibility for their health, rather than relying solely on outside medical authority. The result is people who are more productive and fulfilled, and a world that is stronger and healthier.

Help! How Do We Live Without a Dishwaser?
The Re-Nest community was so helpful last week when we talked about phasing out the microwave next month during our move, so we thought we'd bring you our next (and infinitely harder for us) question: How do we live without a dishwasher? We found some tips for making it as green as possible, but we sure could use your help.
We know that some of our habits are going to change. Currently, hand-washing is not a frequent thing; we rely heavily on the dishwasher to keep up with our sometimes adventurous (and always messy) cooking methods.
Here's how we do it now: squirt eco-friendly soap all over the dishes in question, then turn on the water and get to scrubbing and rinsing.
This is not green for two reasons: we use way too much soap AND way too much water. So, we're coming to you. What are good green handwashing habits we can kick into high gear? Buying an efficient dishwasher is not an option at the moment, so any tips you have to make this as painless a transition as possible would be greatly appreciated!
In the meantime, we did find these tips on green dishwashing.

the tips you found in the hand wash dishes link will get you going pretty well. don't soak your knives (sharps, not flatware), though. they'll rust. oh, and keep pots for the end of the dishes - there's nothing worse than washing tableware in greasy pot water.
if i use a large bowl during my prep or cooking, i'll use that to wash dishes/utensils i do this with baking supplies, too. it saves a lot more water than filling half the sink.
get into a habit of washing dishes nightly and it'll be a quick, easy job.
I do not have a dishwasher and wash dishes as soon as possible after they are dirty to avoid stuck on messes. I get my sponge wet and add some soap to the sponge, scrub all the dishes, re-wetting the sponge to reactivate the soap as needed. Then I just rinse the dishes. It uses a lot less water than filling the sink to wash and then rinsing.
Turn the water on to let it heat up; while the water is heating, use the cold and then lukewarm water for filling up a watering can for flowers, cleaning out the other side of the sink, etc.
I start out with the utensils in the "wash" side of the sink and put a squirt of soap and just enough hot water to cover them, then wash them all. Gather them up into a handful and then rinse them under a little bit of hot water, which you are using still in the "wash" side of the sink... then move on to the glasses, then plates, then cookware, etc. Since you're still rinsing under the "wash" side, you're progressively putting more water in the wash side, which you will need later when you get to the big stuff.
Sometimes I need to put another little squirt of soap into the wash water halfway through... I just put it under the faucet right before I rinse the next thing, so the next blast of hot water will incorporate it.
I have no idea if this is the best method. Just saying what I do...
I have never had a dishwasher in my whole life. I also don't wash every dish as soon as I'm done with it. Sometimes the dishes sit in the sink for 24 hours or more. If you can avoid this habit, then yes, dishes are easier to get clean right after use. Some of the things I do to make hand washing easier:
Soaking silverware for 5 minutes makes them much easier to wash - I just dump them all into a mug or pan that's in the sink and relatively clean and let them sit there while I wash plates
Rinse items that are really dirty as soon as you put them in the sink. It only takes a second. This way you aren't stacking plates on top of plates covered with spaghetti sauce and getting the bottoms of the plates all dirty.
Wash in order from cleanest to dirtiest.
Foam pump soap dispensers - I use a lot less water trying to get soap to suds up, and in turn less soap.
No dishwasher in 10 years. ;)
I keep a bucket of 'rinse' water around, which usually stays clean enough for rinsing soapy dishes for a couple of days.
I try to scrape dishes off as soon as possible. I bought a special scraper to do this but you can use a wooden spoon for pots and a rubber spatula for plates and curved pieces.
Then I get a quart sized bowl and use one pump's worth of soap along with some water. I've found that using cold water works just fine and that a pair of washup gloves protects your hands from how cold the water is!
Wash the least dirty dishes first, progressing to the most greasy. I personally use a terrycloth bar-mop towel cut into quarters to wash my dishes. It has enough scrubby power and it can be thrown in the wash every few days.
Dip clean soapy dishes into the 'rinse' water and set up to dry!
With this method I use about a quart of water every time I have to wash dishes, plus a gallon or two every few days for the 'rinse' water
Honestly, I probably use a fair bit more water washing my dishes in a week than my parents do running their dishwasher (which is admittedly quite new and pretty efficient). Now part of this is that I don't have a double sink so I have to fill a wash bin with the hot water and soap, wash in that and rinse in the sink so I wash dishes daily. My parents have a large dishwasher and only run it 2-3 times a week. That makes a big difference.
I like using washcloths, like the kind you can get 12 for $3 in bright colors in the bath section of Target. That way you have a scrubby cloth that can be washed and reused for a long time -- longer-lasting and cheaper than sponges. Plus the different colors help you remember which is the "dish" one, which is the "counter" one... I also tend to wash an entire batch of flatware with the water off, then rinse the whole handful at once.
We mix the detergent with water in a spray bottle to spray down the dishes. Then (because we're in Sweden and Swedes generally don't use sponges) we use a plastic bristle scrub brush to, well, scrub. Finally, a very thin tickle of water rinses. Done.
"How do I live without a dishwasher?"
Well, it has never been proven that not having a machine to do things for you will cause death, so I think you'll continue to live just fine.
Okay, here is how I do it. Fill one sink with warm soapy water and dump all of your dishes into it. (Minus greasy pans.) Get a rag soapy and scrub all of the dishes and place them in the other side of the sink (which should be empty and clean.) When you are done with the washing...rinse all of the dishes.
Do your dishes after every meal. It is sooo hard to do that sometimes. But it beats getting overwhelmed with a stack of dishes.
Living without a dishwasher seems so counter-cultural these days, but it can easily be done. We're a family of four and haven't had a dishwasher for over two years. Do I miss it? Absolutely. But we've learned how to balance handwashing everything well. Here are my tips for coping without a dishwasher: http://www.smallishblog.com/2012/09/10/tips-for-living-without-a-dishwasher/

Aron Houdini
Known as the world's only living Houdini, Aron Houdini will be in Beaumont on March 17 to perform an escape stunt outside at the Crockett Street Entertainment Complex at 6 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.
Aron will attempt to escape a regulation straight jacket while suspended from a crane. The escape is one of several tricks that sets Aron apart from other performers, as other performers use a specially tailored magician's straight jacket. Aron added that the local police department has accepted his challenge to contain him in a device of their choosing.
If Aron fails to escape, he will be jailed for 24 hours; if he escapes, he keeps the device to sell for charity and is never required to reveal how he did it.He's broken like a ton of bones, including his back, and currently has an ankle injury that he's waiting to have surgery.
"I don't know that I believe in these things; I'm just open-minded," Aron told The Examiner. "In the last 10 years of Houdini's life, he was always going to mediums and psychics because he believed there's a way to contact the other side; he just never found it. I'm hopeful — something paranormal would add a whole new dimension to life in general. I'm hoping there's a day where I can't debunk it, and I can't explain it."
The great Harry Houdini (real name Ehrich Wiez) is the great, great, great uncle to Aron. Houdini's brother, Theodore, who married his great aunt."My grandma Iris was born and raised in Wisconsin," he said. "Her mom, Agnes Fozzard Sanderson had a sister named Elsie. She married Theodore Weiz, who was Harry's brother."
Born in Chicago, Aron said he began performing his straight jacket escape to get bigger shows and states that nobody uses real straight jackets.
"The straight jacket escape is what led me into other escapes," he said. "I have escaped upside down, under water and even escaped U.S. Marshals. All my escapes are real. How real? To date I have broke my back, six herniated discs, torn my abdomen muscle, two hernias, broke all but one finger, broke my nose, deviated septum, three knee surgeries, and seven shoulder surgeries."
As his great uncle did, Aron also works with the paranormal including Brady and Barry Klinge of "Ghost Lab" and other shows including "Ghost Hunters International."
"I have investigated all over the Untied States including Fort William Henry (last of the Mohican's), Waverly Hills Tuberculosis Sanitarium, prisons and more," Houdini said.
While at Waverly Hills in Kentucky, Aron was locked inside the autopsy room inside a freezer where bodies were kept.
"I pride myself and being locked up alone, in the dark and waiting for something to happen to me while I can't fight."
Aron will also take part in the second annual Texas Ghost Show on March 19 at the Beaumont Civic Center. The show will feature lectures and appearances by paranormal TV/Radio/Internet personalities. Tickets begin at $20.
About time someone clarified this
Thank you for clarifying his relationship to Houdini we've often wondered how he can call himself one of Houdinis actual family members.
It matters because this guy
It matters because this guy is going around and making money on being a "Houdini expert", to the point of being called in to authenticate Houdini's signature on documents and letters.
My Mom's brothers wives, I call them Aunts, her sisters husbands, I call them Uncle. If by marriage or by blood, Harry is still a Great Great Uncle of Harry.I don't believe the blood that flowed through Houdini's veins allowed him to become an escape artist, it was his will and determination.... just as Aron Houdini is doing today. WTF does it matter if they have the same blood?
Rock on Aron Houdini!!!!
Eric from the Opera House
Houdini's not Arons Uncle??
Just to clarify something in your article. Arons great, great, great Auntie married Theodore Weiz. So Arons related to him only (as an inlaw), as his Uncle Theodore. Yes, Harry Houdini was Theodores brother, but that doesn't mean you can call him "Uncle Harry". There's no blood relationship at all between Aron and Theodore/Harry. Harry Houdini was just the brother of the great, great, great Uncle who married into Arons bloodline.

A new report by economists David Rosnick and Mark Weisbrot debunks the oft-cited 'commodities boom' explanation for Latin America's faster economic growth in recent years. Higher export prices allowed countries to avoid current account imbalances, but faster growth was achieved through other factors, such as successful macro-economic policy choices.

Amarillo, Texas - There continue to be misconceptions about the recently enacted cell phone ordinance approved by city commissioners. We spoke with Amarillo's Mayor Harpole to clear some of these up.
Since the ordinance was approved in September many Amarillo residents have been questioning parts of it. And now that it has taken effect, it has become a main topic of discussion.
One of the biggest concerns we've seen on NewsChannel 10's Facebook page, is that the city commissioners and other city employees are exempted from following the ordinance.
Mayor Harpole says that simply is untrue.
Just like anyone else under the ordinance, they are only allowed to not use a hands-free device in an emergency situation.
"Let me give you a for instance... Say there's a tornado that's heading towards town, and the city manager gets a call to be at a certain place for the emergency response. Let's say his Bluetooth was at home. He can use his phone for whatever he needs to to respond to that," Mayor Harpole says.
The mayor went on to tell us city employees are being instructed who can and cannot use a cell phone while driving. Government employees must follow the ordinance like all other residents.
But a petition to put the ordinance to a vote is still circulating and gaining signatures.

Jesup senior Alissa Brown has become the heart and soul of the J-Hawk basketball team."She loves the game and she wants to get better, so I think that's where it comes from," said Coach Tom Klein. "Because she wants to get better, she's willing to work hard at it."The senior forward not only works hard as a player, but as a coach as well.
When she's not creating match-up nightmares for opponents, she's coaching her younger sister's AAU squad, which she says has improved her own game as well."Coaching has definitely changed the way I play, because after everything I do, I evaluate it," Brown said. "After every single game, I evaluate what I do."Last season, Brown -- who's committed to play next season at Kentucky State -- averaged just over 19 points a game -- 6th in all of Class 2A.And just this week against Grundy Center, she hit a milestone, scoring the 1,000th point of her career."Getting a thousand was a big deal, because it's just a lot of hours put in to it that paid off," Brown said. "It was a great feeling for me, my coach, and my teammates, because without them it wouldn't have been possible.""A thousand points for a person is a big thing, but we talked in the locker room, and I know Alissa, she would give up those thousand points for her team to be successful and have a chance to go down to state," Klein said.With a small team -- just 9 players, 5 of which are freshman -- the state tournament is likely out of reach.But as long as the J-Hawks play hard and get better, Brown says she'll be happy."As a goal I just want us to improve as a team and to execute what we're supposed to," she said. "It's not always going to come out as wins. We're going to suffer some tough losses, but it's going to be worth it."

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — State officials report 24 insurers have paid more than 270,000 New York claims since Superstorm Sandy damaged and flooded parts of Long Island, New York City and its suburbs last fall.
The Department of Financial Services says those companies, which account for most of the affected homeowner, auto and business policies, have received almost 390,000 claims and have closed more than 68,000 without paying as of Feb. 15.
The average time from claims report to inspection ranges from three days for Arch Insurance Group, with 242 commercial claims, to 20 days for State Farm with 55,592 claims, noting its wide array of claims, complexity and damage severity.
The report Thursday cites 2,478 consumer complaints. The department has directed three insurers with complaint rates near 2 percent to explain them.

How would you advise a person who would like to explore the world, yet has no money at all?
Apart from trying to obtain some cash, what would you tell these sort of people who would like to learn new cultures and meet people of various backgrounds yet has no financial means to do so? Would love some creative answers. =)

Feb 12 2013: If you have friends at different places, you might be able to travel to those destinations first and explore them with their help. Your friends could help you with accommodation and food at least briefly during your stay.
You might also in turn get acquainted with other people through your friends and then travel further in the same way. In your own country, you can take up local jobs in different provinces an stay there for a while. This would give you some cash and allow you to explore those places.
In addition to all of this, couch surfing sounds helpful and I would love to experiment with such a thing !

brothers and sisters in the Lord.'""
"The privacy and dignity of our citizens [are] being whittled away by sometimes imperceptible steps. Taken individually, each step may be of little consequence.

Stitches by David Small
Tuesday, May 14 at 7 p.m.
David Small, a best-selling and highly regarded children's book illustrator, comes forward with this unflinching graphic memoir. Remarkable and intensely dramatic, Stitches tells the story of a fourteen-year-old boy who awakes one day from a supposedly harmless operation to discover that he has been transformed into a virtual mute—a vocal cord removed, his throat slashed and stitched together like a bloody boot. From horror to hope, Small proceeds to graphically portray an almost unbelievable descent into adolescent hell and the difficult road to physical, emotional, and artistic recovery.

"A profound and moving gift of graphic literature that has the look of a movie and reads like a poem." -- Jules Feiffer
"A breathtaking, horrific, and ultimately redemptive work." -- Miami Herald

Now all that's left is Apple. The Justice Department says it will continue to litigate against the electronics giant for allegedly conspiring with Macmillan and four other big book publishers to raise e-book prices.
Following up on its Sunday statement that it is relenting to demands to raise e-book pricing above $9.99 for best sellers, Macmillan books are again available for sale via Amazon.com.
On the podcast: Amazon and Macmillan clash over online prices; Wikileaks shuts down; Robots evolve; and more.
Antitrust lawsuit accused Apple and five book publishers of conspiring to artificially hike prices. Now all but Apple and Macmillan have settled.
Apple purges porn from the App Store, Macmillan introduces a new paradigm for textbooks, and how a cell phone jammer could help stop prisoners from doing business behind bars.
After e-books from publisher Macmillan were pulled from Amazon in a publishing dispute, the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America is protesting by pulling Amazon links from its Web site.
In the Macmillan-Amazon battle, one thing has become clear: it's time Amazon got out of the way of e-book pricing and let the market do its thing.
Amazon loses Macmillan Books in the Kindle store and then gets them back, AT&T is paying out big bucks in an early termination fee settlement, and Natali goes the entire show without saying the word iPad!
On today's show, Amazon gets called out on price-fixing, even though Macmillan wants to charge too much for e-books. AT&T redefines "unlimited," and Microsoft is redefining the bar code, Apple got the fake Flash out of its iPad ads, and big news! Jason ha

Now, they may have uncovered a trigger for the disease.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Declared Biggest Launch in Entertainment HistoryBy Alice O'Connor, Nov 12, 2009 5:05am PST Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 publisher Activision has declared this week's release of Infinity Ward's shooter "the biggest launch in history across all forms of entertainment."
Approximately 4.7 million copies of Modern Warfare 2 were bought within the first 24 hours of sale in North America and the United Kingdom alone according to internal estimates, which Activision works out as $310 million of sell-through sales.
Modern Warfare 2 was released for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on Tuesday, with many stores opening at midnight for the occasion including 10,000 in the USA.
So great was the launch, Infinity's Ward Robert Bowling explained, that Sony's PlayStation Network was "overwhelmed" by the glut of players on PlayStation 3 and many were left unable to play online--an issue which should now be rectified.

I'm sorry but the airport level where you are supposed to gun down civilians is crap. Not in principle, but in execution. It's rubbish. It doesn't work. I'm not saying it can't work, just that it's been done really badly here. All you get is a 30-second intro of some guy saying "You don't know what it's taken to get you here, this Makarov is a really bad dude and you'll be helping us a lot by doing this" and then you are expected to waste crowds of civilians. Sure, that's fine if you don't want to try to get into the game in any meaningful way, if you see it as no more emotionally engaging than Tetris, but if you actually get a kick out of playing games because (by their very nature) they give you a chance to enter into the role of the protagonist and experience something of what the protagonist would experience, this is not enough justification for you as a player to start mowing people down. Doing so means you are disengaging from the make-believe world of the game, because you are having to suspend your emotional involvement in the game, having no proper motivation to take part in the massacre. All games which feature simulated humans rather than coloured blocks or dots evoke some kind of emotional engagement, otherwise what would be the point of representing people? So even if they are not role-playing games, whenever I play a game what I am looking for is something which will make me believe I am really in the game, really doing what the game's protagonist is doing. That is what makes it fun - combat is fun in shooting games because it makes me feel like I, personally, am the one kicking ass. Not because I take pride in the fact that my hand-eye co-ordination lets me position a target over a certain coloured pixel and press a button. It's because I feel like a badass, shooting bad guys. The more games let me imagine I am really the one doing the cool stuff, the better I like them, and this applies just as much to shooters as to RPGs. This is why the airport level in MW2 is so badly judged, and so clumsily pulled off. The motivation for me, the player, to want to take part in the massacre has scarcely been presented at all, let alone done convincingly enough to make me even for a second want to pull the trigger. The player knows virtually nothing about the backstory, nothing about why the massacre is taking place, and nothing about how taking part in it is going to help anyone, all you have a vague reassurances from a disembodied voice.
In the film Donnie Brasco you see Johnny Depp going undercover in the mafia, and it's really tense, because he's duping them throughout the whole film and the slightest slip could give the game away, get him killed and blow his investigation. So at the end when he is about to shoot an innocent person, there is actually some debate about whether he should do it or not, it's engrossing, because you emotionally understand what is at stake. In this game, you don't even intellectually understand why you are taking part in the massacre, let alone emotionally understanding it. If you'd spent the whole game infiltrating Makarov's gang it would be different, this would be an interesting twist, because your desire to be successful at infiltrating his gang and succeeding at the game's key objective would introduce some conflict, and would at least give you some inclination to think about how far you were prepared to go to protect your cover. But the game isn't about being an undercover agent at all. It is not enough to say we can fill in our own backstory.
If the game had wanted to do this level properly it should have done everything it could to try to persuade you that there might conceivably be a reason why it was important enough to kill innocent people to get close to Makarov. But it happens right at the beginning of the game, so that is impossible. To take part in the massacre you have to turn off the natural emotional engagement which normally goes along with experiencing any fiction. It takes you out of the game. I mean, yes, what is presented is shocking, and the experience of playing through it certainly would be powerful, if you decide to play through it. But the game doesn't bother giving you any reason whatsoever to want to play through it. It doesn't put you in the position of trying to justify it to yourself, it doesn't raise any moral dilemmas, because it completely fails to sell the idea that anything significant is at stake. It is a gargantuan missed opportunity. Seriously, a loading screen with a bit of dialogue is not going to cut it. It's a complete failure. This is why I didn't take part in the killing of the civilians, I just hung back and shot scenery. It's not that I didn't want to participate in the world of the game, I love the game (despite the obnoxiously gung-ho intro voiceover), and I was prepared to experience what Infinity Ward wanted me to experience without prejudice, but they didn't even try to make me want to kill innocent people. Yes I know the innocent people aren't real, that totally misses the point - the point is that when I play games, I like to pretend as much as I can that they are real. So saying it's not real just ruins the whole point of me playing a game. I love pretending I'm an undercover agent. Let me do that, do it properly. Make me see what is at stake. Present me with a dilemma. Leave the terrorism scene to near the end of the game, and make the whole of the game lead up to it - make everything you have worked for throughout the whole of the game be what is at stake for failing to take part. The level fails even at doing what it is supposedly meant to be doing (showing how serious the whole situation is) because it didn't do enough to make me take the level seriously, meaning as much as possible I avoided looking at what was going on. And anyway, you don't have to see an airport of people being wasted to want to go after a bad guy. As a plot device for instigating the rest of the plot, I suppose what happens in the level works, but to expect someone just to play through it because you want to have a shocking level, is inept. It didn't shock me, because I didn't do the designers the favour of subjecting myself to it. Why would I? They should have made me want to play through it. Yes, I know the level is skippable, but then that just emphasises really how ineffective and unnecessary it is, because nothing is done to persuade you that you want to play it. It shows just how unimportant the story actually is that they don't care that a lot of people might be missing a chunk of it and spending the game being confused and uninvolved. It would have been a lot more powerful if they had made players who found the level uncomfortable want to play through it anyway. As it is it just ends up catering to fans of voyeuristic death, and making the game a bit crap. OK, it's not a big deal that there's a crap level in a game, but considering the phenomenal amount of attention this level is getting, the least they could have done was do it intelligently. Instead the did it completely stupidly. The designers have shown themselves to be hopelessly clueless at doing what TV and films routinely do so well.
On another note, excepting that level, this game is amazing, way better than Modern Warfare, both MP and SP are fantastic.Nov 12, 2009 10:09am PSTAbout the airport level (if you don't know about this then it will be a spoiler but I doubt there's anyon... : terylene

By: busydoingnothing x Show Full PostMan, it just makes me sad how well this game did. I'm interested in seeing how many of those copies were for the PC. It's sad that gaming can't just be about gaming; there are so many politics behind. This release sets an awful precedence for PC gaming in general, and precedence is hugely important. I can only hope that this is an exception to the rule, but I fear that it'll become the rule in no time.
First, they start releasing DLC. Then they start stripping content out of the final product to make the DLC. Then they remove community tools that would otherwise allow for free content. Then they start charging $10 more than they normally would.

Maybe you don't get it cus you think you're just a recipient of any good grace the publishers decide to bestow upon you. That's WRONG. This is clearly a co-op. Players support good titles with demand, and in turn game makers continue to produce, and hopefully challenge the standards and find new ways to thrill.
On the PC, communities live and die around dedicated servers. Natural Selection has been supported by the community in all its 7 years, the making of NS2 is supported by the community. You can't possibly rationalize giving your players LESS and expect higher sales volume. This is a sham.
That's why organization is empowering. If you don't agree with something, get in touch with like-minded people and boycott. Protest. It's preposterous to say that everything is fine, that you are willing to live with something cus you're just one person, that a certain publisher is too big to fight.

Keep fingers crossed in Borderite playoff
Blaine returned to its winning ways last Friday on the windswept Sumas Prairie as it defeated a determined but outmatched band of Nooksack Pioneers 35-12. Blaine generated almost 300 yards of offense, 70 through the air on a nice night for passing and 217 on the ground on a nice night for running, and returns to playing .500 ball with a 4-4 season mark, 2-4 in league play.
The Borderites opened the scoring in the first quarter with what's becoming a trademark methodical way of marching down the field toward pay dirt. Blayne Brandenburger punched through from the one for the first of his two touchdown on the evening.
On the ensuing kickoff Nooksack's Jeshua Morgan returned the ball 90 yards for a touchdown as the Pioneer homecoming crowd went nuts. Early in the second frame Nooksack scored again when quarterback Chris Mitchell ran it in from 16 yards, but before the half Borderite quarterback Joey Paciorek answered with a rushing touchdown of his own for a 14-12 halftime lead on the strength of two Patrick "Mr. Automatic" extra points.
The third quarter was an amazing display of offensive punch and resiliency as Blaine scored three unanswered touchdowns. The first came after one of Paciorek's passes had gone awry, tipped by the intended receiver into the waiting arms of a diving Jeshua Morgan. The Borderites reacted to this rude interruption of their offensive drive by flattening the hapless Pioneer offense, crushing a fourth down fake punt play that worked for neither team than night.
Blaine took over at midfield and in two plays – a 32-yard scamper by Paciorek and a 15-yard run by Brandenburger, the last five dragging Nooksack safety James Miller along for the ride, got their third touchdown of the night. That was followed by more offensive fireworks, a perfect pass play to streaking senior Nick Jordan from 16 yards out and across almost the entire field. That was followed by Paciorek's 33-yard run that began as the Blaine offensive line opened up a Mack Truck sized hole for the lad, something they did more or less all night.
The Borderites played without John "Spiderman" Dudley, expected to return this weekend against Meridian. Dudley was indeed bitten by an arachnid, now dead, that turned out to be serious enough to sideline the starting lineman for two weeks. Blayne Brandenburger is also questionable due to injury.
Friday night's game this week is Blaine's
last of the season, and next week they play on the road
Thursday night against Mt. Baker. The best thing that can
be said of these champs is that with only two games left
still in the hunt for a playoff berth.
Don't count them out.
Blaine AAU boys basketball club is going through changes
Blaine AAU Boys Basketball is undergoing some changes,
beginning with its name. At its first meeting of the 2005/06
basketball season on Sunday, October 2, the newly elected
board voted to change from Blaine AAU Boys Basketball to
the Blaine Youth Basketball Club.
The new board also decided to align the club more closely with the Blaine Boys & Girls Club basketball program.
"The vision of the board is to create a basketball program that involves the entire community. Together with the Boys & Girls Club, we are striving to offer a multitude of choices for parents and their sons. Kids want to have fun, but they also want and need to be challenged. By offering every player a chance to compete at the level they are capable of, more kids will have an enjoyable experience playing basketball and by nurturing their love of the game will only make the program stronger," said board president Jay Alexander.
In a follow-up meeting, it was reported that Alexander and Wayne Schouten had met with Nicole Harr at the Boys & Girls Club, and she was also excited about the coordinated efforts. "I can only see positive results from the close alignment of the two programs," said Harr.
The next board meeting will be held Tuesday, October 25 at 7 p.m. The meeting will be held in Blaine high school head coach Dan Rucker's room. Parents of players in fifth through eighth grades planning to play basketball this year are encouraged to attend.

Girls soccer team heading for state
valiant women in white held off a determined charge by
the league champion and undefeated Meridian Trojans for
over half the game, but in the end dropped their last
home game of the season 2-4.
Sophomore Wren Baldwin scored first on an assist from frosh Bre Olason, and Alyssa Hendrickson used her head just minutes before the end of the first period on an assist from another of Blaine's freshman marvels, Bailey Richardson.
Meridian's closest call came at the hands of these same Lady B's a month ago at the pipe, when they were lucky to get off the field with a win.
As it happens, Blaine ends the season with a 7-9 (5-7 league) record, good enough for third seed in district playoffs for a state tournament berth. The game will be on the road this Saturday, but at press time the opponent and location had not yet been determined.
