Sabatella (Mango) Machietto
(1913 - Nov. 12, 2008)
Sabatella (Mango) Machietto, 95, of Powell and formerly of Westfield and Upton, Mass, died Wednesday, Nov. 12, at home after a period of declining health. She was the widow of David Machietto, who died in 1995 after 50 years of marriage.
Sabatella was born in Naples, Italy, a daughter of the late Carmino and Vincenza (Avoila) Mango. She came to the United States in infancy and lived in Portland, Maine until age 12, when the family moved to Upton. She attended the former Framingham Normal School and graduated from Worcester State College. She was an elementary school teacher for more than 40 years, teaching first in Upton and then at the Russell Elementary School in Russell, Mass., before retiring in 1985. She lived in Westfield for many years before returning to Upton and then recently moved to Wyoming to live with her daughter. She was a communicant of Holy Angels Church in Upton and a member of the Upton Woman's Club.

Decision to not raise tuition the right one
Last week's announcement that the University of Wyoming doesn't plan to increase resident tuition for the upcoming academic year was good news to many Wyoming families.
UW currently is ranked in the top 1 percent of public institutions in terms of affordability of resident tuition — university officials should be commended for recognizing the importance of keeping tuition low.
With only one four-year college in the state, it's important that the school be accessible to the state's residents — and that a college education continue to be attainable. Low tuition, combined with the Hathaway Scholarship program, has made the dream of higher education a reality for an increasing number of Wyoming high school graduates.
The university's commitment to affordable education is paying off in higher enrollment numbers. In fact, this year's freshman class at UW is the largest ever — with more in-state students than usual, despite decreasing high-school enrollment numbers statewide.
State leaders' theory is that educating Wyoming students in Wyoming will pay off when graduates remain and build a life in Wyoming. During an economic time when the budgets of nearly all Wyoming families are feeling serious stress, holding firm to the commitment of affordable college education for our graduates is the right move.

Wyoming judge opens door for more Yellowstone snowmobiles
Just when Yellowstone's winter 2009 plans appeared set, a new court decision has muddied the waters.
In September, a District of Columbia judge scuttled Yellowstone and Grand Teton parks' long-term plans for winter use. Judge Emmet Sullivan ruled the parks' plans to allow 540 snowmobiles a day in Yellowstone and 65 in Grand Teton were not backed by science.
Saturday shooting by-product of bad blood
Police still searching for handgun
A Powell man has been charged with attempt to cause injury to another using a deadly weapon after he threatened another Powell man and then fired his handgun into the ground early Saturday night.
There apparently was bad blood between the two men and it boiled over, resulting in one shot being fired into the street, Sgt. Alan Kent of the Powell Police Department said Saturday.
According to a Park County Circuit Court affidavit, Franklin Lee Miller, 57, of Powell had an argument with Christopher Downey outside Downey's home on South Clark Street at around 5 p.m. Saturday. Miller pointed the gun at Downey's head, then pointed it at the ground and fired his weapon. The bullet ricocheted off the asphalt and struck Downey.

Heart-breaking loss in double-overtim contest
The Powell High School Panthers saw their season come to a dramatic close Saturday with a 28-27, double-overtime loss to the Douglas Bearcats in the semifinal round of the Class 4A football playoffs.
Douglas running back Cody Bohlander provided the winning margin with a successful two-point conversion run at the end of the second overtime. Bohlander's game-winning conversion jaunt was set up by a Panther penalty on the extra-point attempt following his 3-yard touchdown run that left Douglas behind 27-26.
Trapper wrestling season begins
Harris among NWC top placers
A trio of Northwest College wrestlers notched placing efforts as the Trappers officially kicked off the 2008-09 season waith the annual NWC Open last Saturday at Hank Cabre Gymnasium in Powell.
Leading the charge for the Trappers was freshman and heavyweight entry Landon Harris, who cruised to a 4-0 record during the event. Harris opened with decisions over the University of Great Falls' Garrett Johnson and Matt Schnittgen. He then pinned Evan Mattingly, an unattached wrestler from Montana State University-Northern, and defeated UGF's Brad Fraser by an 11-5 score in the championship bout.
Others placing for the Trappers were freshmen Saul Guerrero (133) and Mak Jones (197). Guerrero went 2-1 Saturday. His first victory, an 11-2 major decision, came against DJ Skelton, an unattached wrestler from MSU-Northern. He followed with a 6-0 decision over another unattached wrestler, UGF's Ryan Leonard, to earn a spot in the title bout against MSU-Northern's Colt Hager. Hager defeated Guerrero 4-3 to claim the title at 133.
Jones, a 2008 graduate of Powell High School, began his Trapper wrestling career in style by finishing fourth in the 197-pound weight class. In his first bout of the day, Jones claimed a 12-4 victory over Western Wyoming Community College's Mike Malone. He followed with a 6-2 decision over UGF's Will Wine before suffering an 8-3 loss to the University of Wyoming's Alfonso Hernandez. Hernandez went on to win the weight class.
Jones, following his first loss, defeated UGF's Jimmy Martin 8-1. That set up a bout for third place with UGF's Scott Lucas, and Lucas escaped with an 8-6 decision.
"Those guys who placed wrestled really well," said NWC head coach Jim Zeigler. "As a team, I think the guys did a good job Saturday, particularly after their first matches. We've got a lot of young guys, but once they got past those first matches, they settled in and did a solid job. It was a good way for us to start the season."
Zeigler also said McCade Ford (141), Corey Woodruff (157) and Luis Carranza (133) enjoyed solid performances and each came one bout short of placing.
Also among the highlights of the tournament was the participation of the University of Wyoming's squad. The majority of the Cowboys' team made the trip to Powell, and UW walked away with seven champions, four runner-up spots, three third-place finishers and two fourth-place efforts during Mark Branch's debut as head coach.
"It was a busy day and the guys wrestled a lot of matches," Branch said. "That is what we wanted. It was good for us as a coaching staff to evaluate, and it was good for the guys to get a feel for where they are at.
"Overall I was pleased. Our team actually matched up against each other quite a bit and there were a lot of good things out there, but there are also plenty of things we need to improve on."
Among UW's first-place finishers was senior Eric Coxbill at 165. Coxbill, a former NWC wrestler from Wright, is in his second season with the Cowboys. Last year he led UW in victories with 26 and finished second in the West Regional Tournament.
"It was a big deal for them to be here," Zeigler said. "They brought quite a few fans. In fact, we had a lot more visiting fans than we've ever had for this tournament. We had a big crowd all day long, and we got a lot of support from the wrestling community here in Powell."
Though an attendance count was not made Saturday, Zeigler said this year's NWC Open clearly was a record-setter.
"The turnout for this one was far better than anything we've seen before," Zeigler said. "With UW taking part in it, it was almost like we had two home teams, and that really helped us bring in more people."
• Up next: The Trappers will be in action again tonight (Thursday) at Hank Cabre Gymnasium against MSU-Northern. Start time for the event is slated for 7:30 p.m. On Saturday, the Trappers will be in Laramie for UW's Cowboy Open.
NWC's volleyball season cut short by Casper College
End of the road
The Northwest College Lady Trappers had their volleyball season come to a disappointing end at the hands of Casper College Saturday night at the Region IX North Tournament in Cheyenne.
Top-seeded NWC (41-10) cruised into the championship round of the four-day tournament by claiming consecutive match victories against eighth-seeded Miles Community College, fourth-seeded Western Wyoming Community College (25-17, 25-13, 25-16) and second-seeded Casper College (25-23, 25-21, 25-23).
NWC's third victory, the decision over Casper on day three of the event, came during the tournament's semifinal round. Casper, after the loss to the Lady Trappers, rebounded with a victory against Western Wyoming (25-21, 21-25, 18-25, 25-22, 15-12) during the 2 p.m. match Saturday. That decision landed the Thunderbirds in a rematch with the Lady Trappers in the championship game. Because NWC was undefeated entering the title tilt, Casper also faced the prospect of having to win back-to-back matches against head coach Flavia Siqueira's team Saturday. Casper did exactly that, forcing the Lady Trappers to settle for the title of tournament runner-up.
The Thunderbirds defeated NWC 3-1 (25-17, 25-21, 21-25, 25-18) in the championship round at 4 p.m. and forced a tournament-deciding second title game. The outcome of that contest, which was played 10 minutes after the conclusion of the initial title matchup, was reminiscent of the previous one. Casper again emerged victorious in four sets (23-25, 25-21, 25-21, 25-22), giving them three victories in a marathon span of just more than six straight hours.
"You have to credit Casper for what they did Saturday," Siqueira said. "They played three matches in one day and won them all. I thought we played well against them, and the girls fought hard. There were just too many times throughout both matches where we couldn't get the points we needed."
During the final match of the tournament, NWC got a number of standout performances from players in the lineup, including Carol Martin (48 assists, 30 digs), Katie Gregg (17 kills, eight blocks), Thabata Galvao (11 kills, 26 digs) and Kayla Propes (six blocks, seven kills). However, those efforts, along with those of the others on the team, weren't enough to prevent Casper for earning a second national tournament berth in as many years.
"It's really hard because we beat Casper in three on Friday," Siqueira said. "When we got into the championship match, I think some of our kids didn't know what to expect. I thought we were in a good position to win it. We had it in our hands, but we weren't able to finish it like we wanted. That was very disappointing, but it should be good motivation for my players who are coming back next year."
The Lady Trappers, a team that entered last year's Region IX North Tournament as bottom seed, opened this year's event with a first-round bye and crushed Miles Community College in three sets (25-21-25-14, 25-13) on day two. During that noon match last Thursday, NWC's leaders included Galvao, who finished with 11 kills and zero errors, and Martin, who had six kills, 32 assists and 18 digs. Irelis Avendano and Gregg added seven kills each.
Also on Thursday and during the 8 p.m. match, the Lady Trappers made quick work of Western Wyoming by sweeping the Mustangs in three sets — 25-17, 25-13, 25-16.
"It was for sure one of our best matches in the entire season," Siqueira said.
Siqueira credited a number of players who recorded standout efforts, including sophomore and team captain Maddie Peterson. She finished with 13 kills and 15 digs. Other leaders were Gregg (11 kills), Avendano (nine kills), Galvao (eight kills) and Martin (three kills, 21 digs, 33 assists). Libero Marisa Shigetomi enjoyed a solid match as well, finishing with 18 perfect passes.
As a team, the Lady Trappers finished with seven assisted blocks and four solos.
During Friday's semifinal matchup against Casper College, NWC again played like a team destined for the national tournament by sweeping the Thunderbirds in three sets — 25-23, 25-21, 25-23.
"The main key for us has been team chemistry," Siqueira said. "We definitely played as a team of 13 against Casper and everything we did — right or wrong, good or bad — we did as a team. My non-starters were focused and into the game as much as the six players on the court."
Casper, in its attempt to neutralize the strong hitting of Galvao during the match, left other openings in their defense for the Lady Trappers to attack, which translated into 14 kills each for Peterson and Avendano. Angela Schuman added 12 kills and 15 digs.
Martin contributed with 16 digs, 40 assists and three kills, and Shigetomi had 19 perfect passes and 16 digs, according to Siqueira.
Following the tournament, a number of NWC players were selected for postseason honors. Martin and Galvao, both sophomores from Brazil, were named to the all-tournament and all-region teams. Peterson also earned a spot on the all-region squad.
As for the Thunderbirds, they earned the right to advance to Council Bluffs, Iowa — the site of this year's national tournament. That season-ending event is scheduled to begin Nov. 20.
Comment on BLM land use today
Every so often at a public meeting, enraged residents come to complain about a project occurring in their backyard — be it drilling, building or some other unwanted alteration. Many times, the drilling or construction company has followed necessary laws for the project, leaving public officials powerless to legally change anything.
In such cases, the adage, "better late than never," is obsolete.
What matters is early comment — before plans are approved to alter a beloved landscape.
Residents have that chance today.
During a Bureau of Land Management open house event from 3-8 p.m. today (Thursday), residents are asked to weigh in on the future of roughly 3.2 million acres of federal land in the Big Horn Basin and 4.2 million acres of mineral estate.
The meeting takes place in the conference room of Americas Best Value Inn on Second Street in Powell.
The public is encouraged to comment and ask questions about the BLM resource-management plan, which will guide the use of federal land for the next 15-20 years.
The policy will affect the land residents use for hunting, grazing and four-wheeling. Access to these millions of acres of land will be considered in the policy, so folks who plan to use the land to hunt, graze cattle or drive ATVs need to voice their concerns to the BLM.
Comments will help identify issues and alternatives for the bureau to consider, but a BLM official said it's not a matter of counting votes for or against land use.
Take the opportunity to comment today — before it's too late.
Mary Veland
Funeral services for Mary Veland, 85, of Ellendale, N.D., will be at 10:30 a.m., Friday, Nov. 14, at Zion Lutheran Church in Ellendale. She died Monday, Nov. 10.
Survivors include one daughter-in-law, Joyce Veland of Powell. Her son, Rev. Larry A. Veland preceded her in death.
Memorials may be made to Zion Lutheran Church, 121 2nd St. S., Ellendale, ND 58436.
Condolences may be sent to www.carlsenfh.com. Carlsen Funeral Home in Ellendale is in charge of arrangements.

Bear Killed At Pyramid Lake [1]
Fisherman at Pyramid Lake may have thought feeding a wandering bear was being one with nature, but what they were doing was setting a deadly course.
On Sunday, the black bear (similar to the one pictured at right) left the lakeside after the airborne snacks stopped coming and went toward the picnic grounds, looking for a second course. He had come to expect food from humans because they often left ice chests out when they went on hikes or abandoned their leftovers from picnics.
His learned behavior cost him his life.
Fish and Game spokesman Harry Morse said that the bear had been in the area several times over the last week. Sheriff's deputies had also responded to calls of the bear wandering near the parking lot or sitting in a tree near the entrance over the last week. The bear always lumbered off into the hills, only to return and forage for food.
Morse said that early last week, the bear was shot with a tranquilizer dart and moved into the back country, but found its way back.
"If people leave unsecured food sources, over a long period of time, the bears develop a habituation. Some avoid people, but some don't."
"On Sunday, we responded to a call that a bear had been charging at people to eat their food," he continued. "The bear had been coming into the picnic areas and been seen been at the lake. We had no choice but to euthanize it."
Deputies at the lake told Fish and Game wardens that they saw the fisherman tossing anchovies at the bear while they angled along the shore. It is illegal to feed bears in California because of the hazards to public safety, penalties include fines and jail time.
"I lay this right at the doorstep of the people who fed him," Morse said.
California Fish and Game launched the "Keep Me Wild" program in 2003 to educate people who live near wildlife, with information that encourages safety for both humans and the wild animals they encounter.
The following are some tips for "bear country"
Bears and other animals are attracted to anything edible or smelly.
- Store garbage in bear-proof containers, or store garbage in your garage until pick-up.
- Keep food indoors or in airtight and odor-free containers.
- Put away picnic leftovers; clean BBQ grills.
- Keep pet food inside, and bird feeders away.
- Pick up fallen tree fruit as soon as possible, or protect fruit trees with electric fencing.
- Remove cosmetic fragrances and other attractants, including bird feeders and compost piles.
- Install or request bear-proof trash containers.
Bear Country Precautions
- Keep a close watch on children, and teach them what to do if they encounter a bear.
- While hiking, make noise to avoid a surprise encounter with a bear.
- Never keep food in your tent.
- Store food and toiletries in bear-proof containers or in an airtight container in the trunk of your vehicle.
- Keep a clean camp by cleaning up and storing food and garbage immediately after meals.
- Use bear-proof garbage cans whenever possible or store your garbage in a secure location with your food.
- Never approach a bear or pick up a bear cub.
- If you encounter a bear, do not run; instead, face the animal, make noise and try to appear as large as possible.
- If attacked, fight back.
- If a bear attacks a person, immediately call 911.
When wild animals are allowed to feed on human food and garbage, they lose their natural ways - often resulting in death for the animal.

Alex Kazhinsky of Lincolnwood is this year's Grand Prize winner in the annual Outguess Ebert contest — and tells me, "It's a big thrill to win your contest after playing it for so many years!"
This year's Outguess Ebert contest seems a little like shooting fish in a barrel. For the first time in many a year, maybe ever, I think I've guessed every one correctly.A few years ago, I came across an article about the newly identified psychological concept of Elevation. Scientists claim it is as real as love or fear. It describes a state in which we feel unreasonable joy; you know, like when you sit quiet and still and tingles run up and down your back, and you think things can never get any better.
I tried applying it to that year's Oscar nominees. Did it work any better than any other approach? You need Elevating nominees. An example of Elevation would be when the bone morphs into a space station in "2001." Did I feel Elevation in making any of my Guesses this year. That doesn't mean it was a bad year at the movies. Harvey Weinstein, accepting his achievement award from the Producers' Guild, said he thought 2012 was the best in 90 years. Maybe he felt Elevation when he gazed upon the Weinstein Company's box office figures.
The key strength of David O. Russell's "Silver Linings Playbook" (2012) is that the acting is so strong that we forget we are watching the movie. In those moments that the plot guides us, it takes us in some directions familiar, some directions frightening, and some directions fun. In a year that has given us a compassionate story about addiction in "Flight," we also have this equally tender film about mental illness. I want to see this movie again, if at least because it is so happy, even though it did not have to be.
With the 2013 Oscarcast moved up to Feb. 24, movie fans are already in a lather over the possible nominees, especially since again this year there can be "up to" ten finalists in the Best Picture category. I claim no inside knowledge (I'm still waiting to hear from my friend Deep Oscar), but it's never too early to speculate.

A foggy morning on the last day of the festival. One more week of movie-going, as Egypt totters and my native Midwest suffers another snowstorm, has caused both guilt and gratitude. But before I describe what I've been experiencing in balmy Santa Barbara, an upfront mea culpa, as earlier I mangled the name of a delightful film and want to correct it here. "Good for Nothing" comes from New Zealand, a spaghetti western with a bit of "Unforgiven" tossed in. Well acted and very scenic, the story centers on an Eastwood-like lone cowboy, who says little, thinks guns are meant for killing and women for --- When he kidnaps a young English traveler, rather than dominating her as he evidently intends, she gains control, ultimately humanizing the guy and helping him unfold his hidden heart. A man at the festival suggested that, "as a woman," I wouldn't like this film at all - but he was wrong.
The 83rd Annual Academy Award nominations were announced Tuesday at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Beverly Hills, Calif.
The 2011 Oscar race seems to be shaping up among the King of England, two nerds, and Rooster Cogburn. "The King's Speech," about George VI's struggle to overcome a stammer, led all nominations with 12. The nerds won eight nominations each for "The Social Network," the story of the founder of Facebook, and "Inception," about a man who hacks into other people's dreams. "The Fighter" followed with seven.
Although the 2011 Oscar nominations are announced at the crack of dawn Tuesday, many of the names on the list have been foreordained for weeks. Ever since its opening in September, "The Social Network" has been the front-runner for Best Picture — although when the Producers' Guild gave its prize to "The King's Speech" on Saturday night, all the predictions were somewhat shaken.
I believe Kevin Smith has said all this before, but now he's got another movie to promote (called "Red State," due in 2011), so he's evidently saying it again. WorstPreviews.com reports that Smith is "taking to Twitter and radio" with this message:
Smith says that he doesn't hate critics, but simply disagrees with the fact that they get to see movies for free in order to write a review. His argument is that critics are just doing their jobs and sometimes don't want to see a certain movie, which means that they probably go into the theater hating it. He adds that he would rather show his movies to 100 fans and let them write reviews even if they don't have a newspaper.
Makes sense to me. Smith would prefer to have his movies reviewed by his fans -- those who've seen his other movies and who are predisposed to like them -- rather than by critics who have seen his other movies and therefore may be predisposed to not like them, so that sounds like a good proposition for him. (And I agree he should let the fans write reviews even if they don't have a newspaper, or a blog or a keyboard or a napkin and a Bic.) Not screening his movies for critics (or making them pay) also sounds like a pretty good deal for the critics who don't want to see or write about his work. They could watch or write about something else instead -- and not have to worry about all the ethical dilemmas involved in paying or not paying to see a Kevin Smith movie. The world would be a cleaner and more orderly place.

Or: That's Entertainment Reporting!
Have entertainment industry "reporters" lost all touch with the reality of the business they're supposedly covering? In a world where... "Entertainment Tonight," Entertainment Weekly, Variety, the New York and Los Angeles Times, the Star, the Inquirer, People, Gawker, Defamer, Perez Hilton and anybody else with a blog all recycle the same trivial non-stories, is there anything more overdone and superfluous than another entertainment reporter writing another trite, misconceived "trend piece" about (of all things) box office results?
OK, I'm being facetious. Kind of. Peter Bart, the editor of Variety -- who, it appears, has lost or at least misplaced his marbles -- started this latest round of "oh, the critics are out of touch" speculation (a non-story that will outlive all remaining film critics, just as it has the dead ones) last week with an inane diatribe worthy of, say, David O. Russell. (See how this stuff keeps getting recycled?) Bart wrote: In reviewing "300" last week... A.O. (Tony) Scott of the New York Times, said the movie was "as violent as 'Apocalypto' and twice as stupid."
That comment reflected the consensus among critics not only on "300" but also on "Ghost Rider," "Wild Hogs," "Norbit" and the other movie miscreants unleashed on the public since Oscar time.
The situation underscores yet again the disconnect between the cinematic appetites of critics vs. those of the popcorn crowd. The kids who storm their multiplexes to catch the opening of "Night at the Museum" don't give a damn what the critics think... Bart is four paragraphs into his piece and he's already writing in circles: The critics, he complains, don't like the big "popcorn" movies that are attended by kids who don't care what the critics think. So, the point is... what? What has changed over the last 80 years or so? Did the kids storming the multiplexes -- er, ornate movie palaces -- suddenly stop basing their moviegoing decisions on the New York Times reviews? (Bart neglects to mention that "300" got mostly positive reviews, and currently has a 61 percent favorable rating on RottenTomatoes -- and a 50 percent split decision among its "cream of the crop" critics, including those who write for the New York Times.) So, is Bart saying the disconnect is due to the fact that today's modern young a-go-go people don't read newspapers much anymore? Or that they used to pay attention to film critics, but now they don't?

Joanna Vargas Goes Bigger
The draw at Joanna Vargas' shoebox-size salon on the 7th floor of 501 Fifth Avenue was her Triple Crown facial, not the atmosphere. But this week the skincare guru moved on up to much more spacious digs on the building's 20th floor. The new salon boasts light-filled treatment rooms and a large reception area, which will feature complimentary antioxidant-packed juices and an extensive product wall showcasing hard-to-find organic skincare lines like Eminence, ILA and Phyts. The design, which Vargas dubs "art deco with a dash of 1940s Hollywood regency," includes a treasure trove of flea market finds like gilded mirrors, sparkling chandeliers, and an oversize vanity with a three-way mirror. But if the decor has received an upgrade, the treatment menu has remained much the same—why mess with perfection? There are some new developments on the horizon, though. We hear that Vargas is expanding her LED light therapy prowess, and will also introduce a new massage therapist specializing in lymphatic drainage (she claims the aesthetician can make you look and feel ten pounds lighter in a single session). Perhaps most exciting is the imminent launch of Vargas' own natural-minded skincare line. Add to that extended hours until 8pm five days a week, and a 2011 visit would make the perfect addition to your new year, new you resolution list.

Lewis Black's performance in the HBO special Lewis Black: Black on Broadway is exactly like his "Back in Black" spots on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. If you love his sputtering, furious rants on the fake news, there's no reason you won't enjoy an hour's worth on DVD, during which Black spits out his grievances against typical stand-up comedy fodder--corporate scandals, air travel, etc.--in his usual, direct style. (Good line: "If you're in coach, kill yourself.") The only caveat: you'll get nothing extra here. The disc contains the show, brief shots of his entering/exiting the theater, and that's it. No interviews, no commentary track, not even a set of Spanish subtitles. But since Black's routine is stripped-down anger, perhaps it's fitting for the DVD to be stripped-down Black. --Leah Weathersby
Product Description
Lewis Black, lately of "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," stars in his first-ever HBO solo special, an hour of frenetic, take-no-prisoners stand-up comedy, taped before a live audience at the Brooks Atkinson Theater in New York City. Featuring new material included in the comic's current "Rules of Enragement" tour and CD of the same name, Lewis Black: Black on Broadway will feature Black's dead-on insights into such disparate issues as homeland security, tax-cut benefits, international travel, Martha Stewart, cold weather, health myths in America, and, of course, WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction).

Finally, someone with courage to stand up
To the Editor:
Kudos to Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas for standing up for his constituents and all Americans on the defunding of the freedom-robbing and job killing Obamacare law. Sen. Cruz has thus become a "rock star" for the constitutional conservatives who have needed one for the last six years, and the liberal left and some "Rinos" are scared to death of him.
The left will pull out all of the liberal venom in their arsenal in an attempt to destroy him.
This country needs more senators and congressmen like him to help get America back on track to economic prosperity. It's too bad that our own Virginia senators don't even come close to displaying the intestinal fortitude with which Sen. Cruz has been blessed.
He is doing what he was elected to do, which is serving the people. Isn't that what all elected politicians are supposed to do? Unfortunately, today most of them are in it just for the money and get caught up in too much politics.
God bless Sen. Cruz and all that follow his example.

TMCnet.com has an interesting article explaining two new projects Microsoft is working on in relation to MSN Search. The first is something named "Wild Thing" that enables short hand searching. It was first designed for mobile Web searching, to allow users to type short hand, but now if you don't know how to spell "Schwarzenegger" you can type "ar* sc*w mo*" into the engine and it will try to figure it out. The second is something named "Nocturnal" and this shares bookmarks and Web browsing activity with your MSN Messenger buddies. Nocturnal can also be used to learn your Web behavior and tailor search results specifically for you.

The council will consider a $5,000 contribution to Eastern Municipal Water District for an income survey of residents there. Anonymous responses to the survey will help determine whether Quail Valley's average income could qualify it as a "disadvantaged community," making it easier to get state and federal funding for sewer construction.
City council member Tom Fuhrman, who represents Quail Valley in District 4, has spoken often of the need to assist residents there. Leakage and overflow from old septic tanks often creates sewage runoffs and potential health problems in the area.
The City Council will meet in closed session on another item at 6:30 p.m., followed by the regular meeting at 7 p.m. at City Hall, 29714 Haun Road.

Recent editorials from West Virginia newspapers:
Nov. 24
News and Sentinel, Parkersburg, W.Va., on overcrowded jails:
West Virginia prisons and regional jails are less overcrowded than they were seven months ago, meaning a law enacted then appears to be working, state legislators were told this week. Let's hope so. The alternative is spending money the state doesn't have on a new prison or contractor-operated facilities.
Since April 13, when the Justice Reinvestment Act was signed into law, the number of inmates in state prisons has dropped from 7,078 to 6,825, lawmakers were told this past week. And though in mid-April the regional jail network held 1,736 convicts who were supposed to be in prisons, which number had dropped to 1,192 during the same period.
Unfortunately, the new law had little to do with some of the reduction. During the year, the old juvenile corrections center at Salem was converted to a facility for adults. It is intended to provide 400 new beds, of which 296 already are filled.
The basis of the JRA is allowing some non-violent offenders to leave prison sooner than they might have otherwise, and providing better supervision for those enjoying early release. It also provides more money for substance abuse treatment.
In addition, the law makes it less likely ex-convicts who violate terms of their parole will be sent back to prison to finish their sentences. Under the new law, judges have an alternative to sending parole violators back to prison for the full terms of their original sentences. Instead, judges can order "shock incarceration" for 60 days. Presumably, that taste of life back behind bars straightens some of the violators out.
Beyond any doubt, something had to be done to reduce prison and jail overcrowding in West Virginia. Otherwise, it was only a matter of time until an inmate filed a "cruel and unusual punishment" lawsuit and a federal court ordered the state to address the problem, by whatever means necessary. In some other states, that has included releasing convicts, even if they might pose a danger to society.
This week's report is good news - but with a caveat. The public's safety needs to be the paramount consideration. Convicts who abuse the breaks they get through early release by going back to lives of crime should be sent back to prison to serve the full terms of their sentences.
Nov. 22
The Herald-Dispatch, Huntington, W.Va., on new focus on reading skills of third-graders badly needed:
One of the hottest topics in public education still is reading.
Specifically, states are focusing on making sure students have solid reading skills by the time they leave the third grade.
Educators have known for years that this is a critical turning point for students, because after the third grade, they need to read well to keep up in other subjects. Without those reading skills, students can fall behind and become more likely to drop out of school later on.
But the third-grade success rate is not very good.
Nationally, only about 34 percent of fourth-graders scored as proficient in reading in the Nation's Report Card for 2013. Kentucky and Ohio did a little better at 37 percent, but in West Virginia the proficiency rate is even lower — about 28 percent.
About 15 states have implemented stricter retention policies, which ultimately hold students back if they do not pass the reading benchmarks, according to the Stateline News Service. In Ohio, for example, that "third-grade reading guarantee" begins this year with plans to hold back students who do not pass, or almost pass, the state reading test.
Florida began a similar approach almost 10 years ago, and the state has seen reading scores improve.
But the effort has to go beyond just drawing a line in the sand and making students repeat a grade.
Just as importantly, most of the states with the tougher retention policies also have programs to provide extra help for students well before the third grade. That includes expanding access to pre-kindergarten and providing early intervention for children who are struggling with their reading.
Ohio's approach includes a closer evaluation of a child's reading in those early years and providing extra support for students who need it. That includes working with parents or guardians on techniques they can use at home and monitoring the child's progress to make sure their reading is improving.
Clearly these policies require increased instruction and resources, but it is time to make sure that third-graders develop the reading skills they need to carry them through school and life.
Nov. 24
Charleston (W.Va.) Gazette on gas boom:
Last winter, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Institute for 21st Century Energy predicted that the snowballing Marcellus Shale gas boom and spinoff industries will create 30,000 high-paying West Virginia jobs by 2020 and 58,000 by 2035 -- vastly outstripping the fading coal industry.
Projections in a three-part study titled "America's New Energy Future: The Unconventional Oil and Gas Revolution" said horizontal drilling and "fracking" have opened an era in which "shale will create millions of jobs and trillions in investments over the coming decades."
The report says the drilling boom added $1.6 billion to West Virginia's economy in 2012 and "we forecast that this contribution will grow to $9.3 billion by 2035." That's almost a six fold increase.
Now, however, a contradictory study by the Multi-State Shale Research Collaborative says early estimates have been far too rosy. Ted Boettner of the West Virginia Center on Budget and Policy said gas field work so far is "less than 1 percent of the state employment mix." Frank Mauro of the Fiscal Policy Institute in New York said. ...
Which assessment is most accurate? Continuing developments in coming months and years will provide an answer.
The recent announcement of a possible ethane "cracker" and three polyethylene chemical plants near Parkersburg to turn Marcellus gas into thousands of plastic products raised hopes -- but it's not yet certain whether they will materialize.
Nobody can predict economic outcomes precisely, but it seems that West Virginia is changing. As coal's dominance slips, a different future is taking shape.
State leaders must manage this transition wisely, imposing strong safeguards to prevent ravages such as those that accompanied previous industrial booms. As for us, we hope the Marcellus upsurge brings even more jobs and prosperity than the wildest forecasts.

DETROIT -- Shortstop J.J. Hardy missed his second game in three days with lower back spasms and may not play again Monday in New York.
"He'd have a better chance if we were playing a normal night game," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said Sunday. "I don't know. We'll see how he feels [Monday]. But it's a pretty short turnaround."
Hardy, who was initially in Sunday's lineup, was scratched after taking ground balls before batting practice. He also was held out of Friday's game after dealing with light spasms Wednesday and Thursday.

"Same kind of spasms as what I was trying to avoid by taking the other day off. I felt great. I didn't think this would happen," Hardy said. "I took probably 20 ground balls before one ground ball just tightened up on me."
Earlier this week, the spasms came and went quickly. On Sunday, Hardy said they bothered him longer and "locked up," which has him somewhat concerned because he continually stretches and does exercises to combat them. He said he first dealt with them in 2009.
"The spasms kind of led up to this [on Sunday]. It was more a locked-up spasm versus the little spasms I was feeling in the first few games I played through," Hardy said. "But this is more."
Hardy, 31, missed just three games in 2013 — two because of back spasms — and now could miss three in the first week of this season. But he said he's pretty sure they'll go away.
"It's just a matter of getting those muscles to relax," he said.
No tests are planned on Hardy's back for now, but Showalter said that could change if he doesn't improve by Monday.
When Hardy was removed from the lineup, Jonathan Schoop was inserted at third base and batted ninth. Ryan Flaherty shifted from third base to shortstop, and second baseman Steve Lombardozzi moved up from ninth to seventh.

<quoted text>
So, you get a lot of your info from books. I didn't realize that "Dick and Jane", "Peter Rabbit" and other children's books were such a treasure trove of information. You are just into your second childhood.
Hunting and fishing isn't my only interests. Solar Photovoltaic systems are also my hobby. Not that it is any of your business, but I built a workshop in the backyard and powered it with a stand alone solar panel and battery system. It will be expanded upon to supply electricity to
the house.
Unlike you, I learn things of practical value. Maybe you should stick to building bird houses and leave real thinking to adults.
LOL you still do not realize what books I read. Sometimes I do read those books for the grandkids, that you mentioned. However that is less than .01% of what I read.
Congratulations on your Solar Green Garden. Thats how I started as well. First the workshop then on to the house. Recently just picked up a 2,000 watt pure wave inverter to add on.
Bird house yup have one of those as well but if you remember I first mentioned to you my interest in building things way back when I was making my own solar panels from solar cells on up. Most of the substrates for the panels were free as I was simply making them from what people were discarding. Remember ? Getting old has its lapses dont they?
Real thinking is what some think they are doing when actually they are merely rearranging their prejudices
Hey now try a food garden. That can be an interesting add on hobby as well. I have some 2nd and third generation plants still going, as well as the everyday varieties.

First of all, let me greet you guys a Merry Christmas! I know everyone has been busy this holiday season but I hope you guys were able to spend some quality time with your family! Rushed to the mall for some last minute Christmas shopping for my family and friends—didn't have time to scout for a Christmas outfit but I made sure I added a few elements which are reminiscent of Christmas so I wore reindeer-printed socks and a checkered button down which reminds me of fruitcake? Haha happy holidays everyone!
What I'm wearing: button down (Uniqlo), jeans (Levi's), aviator shades (Ray-Ban), watch (Veloci), reindeer-printed socks (Topman), brown boots (Pedro). Hype this on lookbook here.
Button down from Uniqlo—I always invest in basic pieces such as this one because I know I'll be able to wear it for a long time. Ninong na ninong ba ang dating? Haha
Classic aviator shades from Ray-Ban
Watch from Veloci—when I first heard of the brand, I thought it was an Italian restaurant haha! It's water resistant and comes with 3 interchangeable straps. Available at LTimeStudio.
Reindeer-printed socks from Topman | Shoes from Pedro
Was able to capture crazy moments with the family with this Canon PowerShot A3400 IS. 16 Megapixels, has 5x optical zoom and a 3.2" touch panel screen for only php6,998! The champagne color reminds me of Christmas too!

(3) "Holy wars" do not make sense if a deity is omnipotent. Such a deity would not need its "chosen people" to go to war to accomplish its will. (4) "Natural Role" is another euphemism for subjugation. Telling women to shut up in church is not setting them free. Your roles are not and should not be determined by your genitalia.

World PvP is rare to begin with, i know most of my friends on my home server say World PvP is low, because what most people consider World PvP is Tarren Mill v Southshore. That kind of stuff doesn't happen anymore. Ganking is not considered World PvP IMO

In response to:
PLEASE, can't we stop all this presidential nonsense until at least AFTER the 2014 midterms? The media remains too interested in the horserace rather than what is important NOW. Those political junkies should be more concerned about fixing our terribly flawed process. Why do Iowa and New Hampshire pretty much get to pick our nominees very 4 years?
The votes have been cast, the count has been completed, and we all know the winner of the presidential election. So now it's just a matter of letting the Electoral College meet to make the outcome official. Then we can get along with planning the inauguration of Hillary Clinton.
True, it's still four years away. But by now it's clear that Republicans needn't bother putting up a nominee. They may as well save their money and candidates for 2024, when Hillary will be ready to leave Washington and become a judge on "The Voice."

Strathcona Stockings - Black Bird. ♥
Pretty Tiny Things for Lemon & Mint.
Tatchies are back in town… this time made of lambswool. Nice & warm & touch-screen friendly.
Marbushka - wonderfully designed parlor games and toys that are pleasing to the eye and a pleasure to play with. Very best of Hungarian creativity and craftsmanship is the guarantee that you will have a pleasant and fun family evening.
100% designed and handmade in Hungary.
Only natural and environment-friendly materials have been used during manufacturing.
(Source: lemon-and-mint.ch)
We have just come across this beautifully designed chair by the Hungarian born former ballet dancer, Gabriella Asztalos: The Hug Chair. Love at first sight …
A unique uni-body circular structure connects both seats together allowing two people to sit face-to-face and thus creating an immediate intimate interaction.Through this physical connection, you feel socially and emotionally connected with the person sitting on the opposite side. The upper "half-pipe" which bends above the heads creates a highway of thoughts and a chain of emotions. In this way you are interconnected within the same circle and the focus is always on the other person, exactly what a hug is about.
The Hug Chair is a unique eye catching design with high comfort factor, contemporary features, emotional appearance, exceptional quality craftsmanship and durability. Its face-to-face interaction allows you to break away instantly from the crowd. The exceptional shape and the amazing acoustics of the Hug Chair creates, even in large and crowded rooms or halls, an immediate, safe and intimate ambience for those who desire space for a private moment.
The Hug Chair's remarkable aesthetics make it a desired item. People are not simply buying a chair. They are buying a statement where design and intimacy come together.
The Hug Chair is handcrafted and available in three versions: White Lacquer, Black Lacquer and Walnut Wood. The Black and White versions are more contemporary and the Walnut Wood is more of classic style. All editions are upholstered with top quality real leather and the color of the leather can be chosen to be any shade you wish. The chair stands on a stainless-steel base that can fully rotate.
For more info, please visit: http://www.hugchair.com or http://www.asztalos.com
It's about 10 celsius in Switzerland and it is raining. It's snowing in the mountains. Hmmm….
