London - Manchester United's striker Ryan Tunnicliffe was arrested on suspicion of drunken-driving, after he smashed a 60,000 pound car within hours of getting the keys.
The 19-year-old midfielder was breath-analysed and arrested after he lost control of the luxury black Range Rover as he took it for a spin round an industrial estate.
He allegedly hurtled into a stationary van, shunting it 30ft into a wall. One onlooker said the young Red Devil looked "white as a ghost" as cops raced to the scene in Heywood, Manchester.
"He skidded on the wet road. A mate told me he'd only just picked up the keys. He hit a van and pushed it into a wall, making a terrible screeching sound," The Sun quoted a source, as saying.
The onlooker, who said the speed limit was 30mph, added: "He's hit it with real force because both vehicles looked like write-offs. Ryan looked really shaken up."
Police confirmed that a driver had been arrested on suspicion of drink-driving.
Tunnicliffe's dad wagered 100 pounds at 100-1 when he was nine that he would one day play for United's first team. He came on as a 77th-minute substitute for Wayne Rooney in a cup match last month, the report said.

Celebrity Fix
Modern Family star Ariel Winter, 14, has been removed from her home after serious allegations of physical and emotional abuse by her mother, Crystal Workman.According to TMZ, Ariel who plays Alex Dunphy on the show, has been placed into guardianship with her older sister, Shanelle Workman.
Gosh, that doesn't sound good! Have you ever witnessed a parent behave badly towards their child? What did you do?
I read on TMZ that her sister suffered the same abuse and was placed in foster care for 2 years and never ever put back into her mothers care again after that so sounds like a legit case of child abuse. Poor thing!
I wonder, as a parent, how easy it would be to live with "child stars" (relatively grown up ones, at that) & how boundaries & rules would be adhered to.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Shu-Suen)
Shu-sin was king of Sumer and Akkad, and was the penultimate king of the Ur III dynasty. He succeeded his brother Amar-Sin, and reigned circa 1972-1964 BC. (short chronology)
Following an open revolt of his Amorite subjects, he directed the construction of a fortified wall between the Euphrates and the Tigris rivers in his fourth year, intending it to hold off any further Amorite attacks. He was succeeded by his son Ibbi-Sin.

According to Realtor® and mortgage broker Timothy Powers, Alamo investors are in better financial shape now than before the housing crash.
Finally there is good news out of the housing crash, says Timothy Powers. Alamo investors are seeing an increase in profits as rentals are in demand now more than ever. There are many reasons that rentals are en vogue, says Timothy Powers. In Alamo, home values have depreciated and some people are walking away from mortgages. These former homeowners must secure housing.
Many homeowners, finding themselves upside down in a home they bought at the market peak, are now defaulting, reports Timothy Powers. Alamo lenders cannot grant new home loans for 3-5 years after a foreclosure or bankruptcy, so renting is the only choice for many. According to Timothy Powers, Alamo homebuyers must also now fork out at minimum 3% down to even be considered for a mortgage – with home prices hovering around a million dollars, that's a hefty sum. Many residents of Alamo, says Timothy Powers, just can't come up with that much cash.
Rentals prices have skyrocketed as supply and demand gets more and more out of balance, cites Timothy Powers. Alamo investors are buying for less and renting for more, but consumers don't seem to mind. Even with the higher prices, people unable – or unwilling – to take out a new home loan are still getting a much better deal than buying and losing a great deal of money. According to Timothy Powers, Alamo's rental prices range from $2,500 to over $15,000 per month.
Other factors affecting rental prices, notes Timothy Powers, are Alamo's masses of new renters. It seems that people are more open to leasing than in years past when owning property was the "in" thing. Even among people who can buy, reports Timothy Powers, Alamo rentals are often at the top of their lists. People are holding on to cash reserves in ways not seen since the Great Depression. It isn't just houses renters are snatching up, either. According to Timothy Powers, Alamo apartments are filling up fast, and these low vacancy properties also drive up prices.
There are a few secondary benefits to the rental boom, too. As noted by Timothy Powers, Alamo investors must hire more people to maintain these houses. More rental homes equal more jobs for carpenters, lawn services, and even administrative support staff. Timothy Powers says Alamo leasing agents are in higher demand, as are property managers. According to Timothy Powers, Alamo houses that would otherwise remain vacant and fall into disrepair are now being lived in by those opting for a lease/purchase. These renters maintain properties as if the home was already theirs – which benefits the investor, the future buyer, as well as the entire community.
If you are an investor and would like more information on Timothy Powers' Alamo, California, mortgage or real estate services, please call him directly at (925)855-1810 x 22.
Timothy Powers is a real estate and mortgage broker based out of Alamo, California. He is the principal broker at Intero Real Estate Services and began his own mortgage firm, Paragon Mortgage Bankers, Inc., in 1996. His newest venture, East Bay Foreclosure Support, offers free financial, emotional, and physical support for military families – as well as those facing terminal illnesses – deal with the effects of foreclosure. Timothy Powers holds a BS in Business Administration and has been a licensed Realtor® since 1989.

This was bound to be an awesome night at Rubber Gloves.
The best Metal band out of Austin, The Sword, recently released their new album, "Apocryphon", and of course with a new album comes a new tour. And tonight, their tour was leading them to Denton, and seeing them was a perfect reason to make the drive up to Denton.
The first act of the night was an instrumental band from Austin, Eagle Claw. Now, I've said many times in the past, I am not a fan of instrumental music, so I wasn't too excited about seeing them. Luckily, I didn't have to.
By the time I made it up to Rubber Gloves the band had already done there thing and the next act, Gypsyhawk, was pretty much setup and raring to go.
I'll be frank, personally, Gypsyhawk's music didn't appeal to me a whole lot. I wouldn't say I disliked them, but music is supposed to ignite something within you. It's supposed to get you excited and make you feel something, and that did not happen for me. Not with these guys.
However, I believe being impartial is a must, and just because I didn't enjoy their music doesn't mean I couldn't or didn't appreciate it.
When it comes down to music it's always the voice that makes it or breaks it for me. And while I wasn't too keen on vocalist and bassist, Eric Harris's growl of a voice, it did fit well with the nostalgic Metal sounds they produced. And by that I mean they had a Classic, true Metal sound. Most of what they did this night came off their latest effort, "Revelry & Resilience", such as the second song of their set, "The Fields". "…This one's about quantum physics…" Eric said before they started the tune. But some songs from an older EP were also performed this night. I believe one was "Commander of the High Forest", and I know they did a song that bears the same name as the band, as Eric simply put it as a song about, "…Fucking girls and then leaving town…".
Okay, those songs and everything else they fit into their 35 to 40-minute long set might not have been my cup of tea, but there's no denying that these guys are excellent musicians. Guitarists, Erik Kluiber and Andrew Packer, did nothing but shred and rock out. Eric had a nice swagger as well, and knew how to play the bass with the right amount of force, yet also seemed gracefully in doing it. As for drummer, Ian Brown, I couldn't see much of him, but what glimpses I caught, he was tearing it up.
I might not have become a real fan of Gypsyhawk's, but they are a great band.
You can find both of their records right HERE in iTUNES. They will also be joining The Sword on all their show dates through December, and you can find all the cities they will be rocking HERE. They'll also be in Dallas on December 17th at Trees.
After a seemingly short set change, everything was ready for The Sword to take the stage, and then came the waiting.
They didn't leave the packed Rubber Gloves waiting too long, though. And shortly before 10:30, lead guitarist, Kyle Shutt, singer and guitarist, John Cronise, drummer, Santiago Vela III, and bassist, Bryan Richie, walked onto the stage, too much fanfare. They waved a bit and smiled at the fans as they got their instruments, and then it was on.
What better way to begin a show than with the lead track and single from the bands new album, "The Veil of Isis". The intro itself got the fans fired up, and once Santiago started pounding away on the drums, a good portion of the people began banging their heads in synch to it. Then John opened his mouth to sing the first line, "As the night arrives the day concedes her crown…". Sadly, this was were the only hindrance of their set came in to play, though it was certainly not the bands fault. The sound system at Rubber Gloves isn't always the best, and such was the case tonight, and for the first few songs, it was next to impossible to understand what was being sung. Yes, it sucked, but there are some lengthy (and heavy) instrumental parts on that song, and at least those weren't impacted. They fiddled with their instruments for a moment, and whether it was their intention or not, that little delay succeed in building anticipation for their next song. It was the only of their set that I didn't know. Perhaps a cover, or maybe a song that has never made a record, either way, it was every bit as good as everything else they did this night. Santiago wound that song right into the next, "Hammer of Heaven", before John and Kyle ripped into their guitars and Bryan started attacking his bass, truly getting it underway. I was slightly surprised, seeing as the song was released as a one-off single earlier this year, which gave me the impression it was more to get something new to the fans rather than one that would make its way into the live show. It was a beast of a song live, though, and Bryan and Kyle shouted the chorus, which is the song title, right along with John, giving it a lot of extra force. By this point, all of the technical kinks had been resolved, and the vocal were much clearer… And just in time, too. They soon busted into "Tres Brujas", which got everyone worked into a frenzy, and a small mosh pit was born. It lasted throughout the show, though fizzled out here and there, and it did make it hard to fully watch the band, but that's part of what comes with seeing a band like The Sword. Anyway, it was great getting to hear that song, seeing as it is my personal favorite of the bands, and it was the mythical lyrics like those in that tune that captivated me and made me a fan of theirs in the first place. The music was obviously the main focus of their performance, in the fact that they seldom spoke to the crowd, instead doing the songs as close together as they could, and next up they pulled out "Maiden, Mother & Crone". After it, they did an older one from 2006's "Age of Winters", "The Horned Goddess". The song has never stuck out to me on the recording, but life, it's a whole different matter. While instrumental stuff isn't my thing, it's the instrumental portions that really make the song. Be it the full-band going with the flow of the music bed or the short, incendiary guitar solo Kyle goes into. It's just thick, delectable Metal that will have you banging you head to the music at every possible chance. "We're gonna play some new songs for you…" John said after that song concluded, as they geared up to do some more stuff from "Apocryphon". "Cloak of Feathers" was song they did from it, while Bryan started them on the rhythm heavy, "The Hidden Masters", with some light bass notes, which soon grew more thunderous. "This next song is called Seven Sisters." John told the crowd. It's a standout track from the album, and it's every bit as good live as the recording would lead you to believe. I liked that tactic, start with mostly older stuff, then throw some new tunes in around the halfway mark, but they made sure not to overdo it, and next got back to their classics with the fan favorite, "Freya". It was pure, in-your-face Metal complete with some killer guitar licks, proving that old-school Sword songs are sometimes the best. After "To Take The Black", they did two final new songs, the first of which John dedicated to the East Coasters who had survived hurricane Sandy. "…Hopefully they aren't in the Eyes of the Stormwitch…" he said, then added that was the title of their next song. It's a good one, but I was more enthralled by the title track itself, "Apocryphon", which was one of their best songs of the night, as it was one they seemed to be really into. They had been telling their fans for the last few songs they were nearing the end, and now came the final song of their 71-minute long set. They then lit into "The Chronomancer I: Hubris", which gave the show a nice, finalized feeling, yet also left you wanting more.
And surely there would be more. Right?
Maybe thirty seconds passed from the time they disappeared backstage to the time one of their roadies walked on stage and to the center mic. "Are there any Sword fans here!?" he asked. The fans erupted, to which he said, "Well let 'em know!". After he finished and started to walk away, the band reemerged, took their spots, and got ready for a 9-minute encore.
They had in-store two fan favorites, both of which are my favorites by the band. First up was "Barael's Blade", and when they got to the part where John starts singing, they chose to instead repeat most of the intro again. When they got to the chorus of the song, they let the audience handle it, as almost everyone shouted out, "Behold! The bastard's blade!" They quickly moved on to the next and last song, and with a few light taps on one of his cymbals, Santiago revealed it to be the song that everyone seemed to want to hear most, "Winter's Wolves". "Can't you see what you have wrought here? Bloody battles will be fought here…" John soon sang, before getting to what is my favorite line from their songs, "…I would mount your head on bloody spears outside your palace gates, and watch as crows peck out your eyes, and your cities are laid to waste." They then brought it to an end as most bands do, all striking their instruments a few times in unison, Bryan viciously so, allowing the sound to resonate a little in between, before stopping it all together.
Even with the technical difficulties at the start, this was still a spectacular performance. They brought their A game and left it all on the stage, and how many bands do you see these days that do that?
Really, The Sword is one of those bands that every other band could take lessons from. They're phenomenal performers and incredible musicians who know how to make extraordinary music. Metal music that is. Anymore, (most) Metal bands have singers that scream incoherently, but just like the band that opened for them, The Sword is a band that pays homage to the classic sound of the genre, but with a definite modern influence. And John actually sings, not doing anything even close to screaming.
I was blown away by their set, and my third time seeing the band live was definitely the best.
The band will be touring the U.S. in support of "Apocryphon" until December 18th, with a European tour starting in early January. You can find all their tour dates HERE, and if they are coming to a city near you, believe me, you don't want to miss out on them. Also, they will be back in the area on December 17th, performing at Tree's in Dallas. Also be sure to check out their records in ITUNES.
When they finished, it wasn't even midnight yet, making this a VERY early show by Denton standards. I was glad for that, though, because that meant I could get home at a decent hour, even with the hour long drive back.

Small Space Solutions: Get Those Closets Under Control
In much the same way that properly fitting underwear is the foundation of any good outfit, a happy, organized closet is the foundation of a happy, organized home. Of course, this can be a bit of a challenge in a small space with correspondingly small closets. If you're struggling with fitting everything into a tiny closet, or even just looking to streamline your storage so that finding your clothes is a more pleasant experience, we've got a few tips for you.
First up, Amelia Meena's Five Top Tips for a More Organized Closet — essential for anyone trying to make the most of a really small closet space.
Fay Wolf's Three Ways to Use Vertical Space are all clever — and the first two would be especially useful in a small closet.
And finally, also from Fay Wolf, a clever way to store T-shirts so you can fit more of them in a drawer AND see everything that you have at one time.
Thanks for watching, and happy organizing!

Perfect timing! Can't wait to apply these!
Own less clothes? That one works pretty well...
I'm with miranar. Regardless of the size of your home your storage space is finite. I find I'm happier if I'm NOT cramming every last cubic inch with stuff. I have a small clothes closet. When all my hangers are in use I know it's time to weed out the excess.
Omg, love the brass and black fixturing in original pic. Is that DIY/ home improvement store or bought?
Agree with miranar . . . having less clothing is a great start to organized and neat closets. I have no problems with my three feet of closet for hanging clothes. Bulky stuff like extra bedding and pillows compress well in space bags for storage in an unheated closet in the air-lock entry. The main thing to having your closet space work is to keep your wardrobe to a minimum. Less really is more.
I love these one minute tips and particularly love these contributors!
I've considered "filing my sweaters" vertically, but I have trouble by the end of the week. If the drawer isn't full, the sweaters start to fall over and make a mess. By laundry day, the drawer is half (or more) empty and is a mess. Any suggestions?
And the "hang your clothes backward" tip is my favorite. One thing that I love about it (that wasn't mentioned) is that it encourages me to wear ALL of my clothes. I know that, if I don't wear something, I've to give it away - but all I have to do to "save" that shirt (or whatever) is wear it! And once I wear it, I remember - ooooh, I love this shirt, I should wear it more often - OR - oh yeah, this shirt rides up funny on me and just never looks right. Win Win. Either I start wearing the shirt more, or I go ahead and put it in the donation box without mixed feelings.
Thanks for these one minutes tips - keep them coming!
If at all possible, it's better to donate clothes in-season. So go through your clothes when you take them OUT of storage for the new season, and anything that doesn't fit or you don't love anymore should go to Goodwill or the donation place of your choice. They can't hold on to things long, so that winter coat you donate in April might be awesome, but it's a lot more likely to go to someone who needs it if you hang on to it and drop it off in October. If you don't have overwhelming clutter to begin with, it's a good thing to keep in mind. However, if you are a risk of being suffocated in a closet avalanche, best deal with it sooner!
My hatred of the "backwards hangers" tip makes me think I have mild OCD...because it truly drives me crazy to see hangers backwards.
I took a picture of my very uncluttered closet after I installed a new ClosetMaid system, and I keep it as my inspiration that I CAN really have a closet that looks good. :)

Taxes are necessary if we all don't want spilling sewers. But please, when we start singing to end the tax cuts, let's also harmonize to stop the waste and fraud of our tax dollars that beget the need for more taxes that beget the need for more singing to end the tax cuts. That song is getting old, don't you think?

Justin Roberts revealed on Twitter that he was stuck at the airport, but he didn't it mind it too much because it enabled him the opportunity to catch up with Jake Roberts.
Royal Rumble 2014 is barely in the books now, but Jake Roberts, who publicly campaigned for a spot in the big match, has revealed that he has started training for Royal Rumble 2015. The WWE legend feels that it would provide some closure to be able to work one final match for the company.
Justin Roberts became a fan of professional wrestling as a kid because he met Kerry Von Erich and the Ultimate Warrior at a hotel in Wisconsin. He had recently started watching after catching an episode of Saturday Night's Main Event and became an even bigger fan after meeting the performers.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Had he and I but met
By some old ancient inn,
We should have set us down to wet
Right many a nipperkin!
But ranged as infantry,
And staring face to face,
I shot at him as he at me,
And killed him in his place.
I shot him dead because—
Because he was my foe,
Just so: my foe of course he was;
That's clear enough; although
He thought he'd 'list, perhaps,
Off-hand like—just as I—
Was out of work—had sold his traps—
No other reason why.
Yes; quaint and curious war is!
You shoot a fellow down
You'd treat, if met where any bar is,
Or help to half a crown.

We walked among the crosses
Where our fallen soldiers lay.
And listened to the bugle
As taps began to play.
The Chaplin led a prayer
We stood with heads bowed low.
And I thought of fallen comrades
I had known so long ago.
They came from every city
Across this fertile land.
That we might live in freedom.
They lie here 'neath the sand.
I felt a little guilty
My sacrifice was small.
I only lost a little time
But these men lost their all.
Now the services are over
For this Memorial Day.
To the names upon these crosses
I just want to say,
Thanks for what you've given
No one could ask for more.
May you rest with God in heaven
From now through evermore.

Something I wrote a few years ago.
I Didn't Know Allan Lee Schmidt
I didn't know Allan Lee Schmidt. I don't know if he went by Allan or by Lee. I will probably never know anyone that knew Allan. He died when I was only 13 years old, on November 6, 1968. That was a Wednesday, three weeks and a day before Thanksgiving. On that day I would have been "coming of age" in a rural school 8th grade class. As an 8th grader, the top grade in our school, I was quite full of myself, and oblivious to death and war outside of the history books.
I recall studying arithmetic, geography, history, and social studies in those days, and I recall us receiving a newsletter every week or two called "Current Events". I recall The Vietnam War as the lead story on the NBC News that religiously aired in our home at 7PM Eastern every night, but Vietnam was geographically a half a world away from Brooks, Georgia and a couple of universes away from the life of a boy who had just graduated from playing Army with sticks in the playground, imitating the TV show Combat. At that time, my female classmates were much more enthralling than our country's battle against the spread of world communism.
So why tonight am I writing about Allan Lee Schmidt? I was Internet surfing and found a web site that listed the names on The Vietnam Memorial (The Wall) in D.C. I just clicked on a name and read a very brief, government-issue record of his life and service. (Last name: SCHMIDT, First name: ALLAN LEE)
Allan or Lee (I bet his mother called him Allan Lee from time to time.) lived in Tipton, Iowa, born August 12, 1948, seven years before I was born, and one day short of four years before my older brother entered the world. (Home of Record (official): TIPTON, State (official): IA, Date of Birth: THURSDAY, AUGUST 12, 1948, Sex:MALE, Race: CAUCASION, Marital Status: SINGLE)
I looked up Tipton, IA on the Internet. Tipton is located at the intersection of the dead north-south running IA Route 38 and the dead east-west running IA Route 130, about halfway between Iowa City and Moline; what we know today as "fly-over country". How strange that term would have sounded to the rising man of 20 who got off a plane in South Vietnam on October 9, 1968.
I can speculate that Allan grew up on a corn farm near Tipton, his father a hardworking WWII veteran, but I don't really know.
Allan's official record lists his "Component" as Selective Service. I think that means that he was chosen by the not-so-selective, Selective Service. In other words, he got drafted. He could have avoided this honor, as many did, but maybe an "honorable" method of escaping The Draft (such as College) was not available. Possibly Allan welcomed this opportunity to get out of Tipton and to see the world. (Component: SELECTIVE SERVICE, Pay grade: E3, MOS (Military Occupational Specialty code): 11B10, Major Organization: 1st CAVALRY DIV))
While he traveled farther from his home than I ever have or ever will, Allan didn't get to see much of the world. His "tour" of Vietnam was brief. (Start of tour: WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 9, 1968). By Wednesday, November 6th, 1968, Allan was dead. (Date of Casualty: WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 6th, 1968 Casualty type: (A2) HOSTILE, DIED OF WOUNDS. Reason: GUN, SMALL ARMS FIRE (GROUND CASUALTY)).
I've heard that if you survived the first month you had a good chance of going home after your tour. Alan didn't. Twenty eight days in country, nine months short of his 21st birthday, he was dead.
Allan made the ultimate sacrifice for his country. By some rationalization he must have made the life of that 8th grade boy better, or at least I hope so. Maybe the best thing Allan did for me was that by reading stark words about his short life on a computer monitor, I realize how fortunate I have been.
Thank you Allan Lee Schmidt. I apologize for not thinking about you in 1968, but I'm thinking about you today.

There are 58,267 names on that wall in Washington, DC. 8,283 were only 19 years old, over 33K were 18, twelve were 17, five were 16 and one was only 15. 997 were killed on their first day in country, 1448 were killed on their last. There are 31 sets of brothers, 8 women (one a nurse in our hospital in Da Nang) and 153 Medal of Honor winners.
Compared to Antietam Bridge on September 17, 1862, however, VN was a walk in the park. On the single bloodiest day in American history, 23,000 Americans lost their lives. The battle lasted about 14 hours…… that's one casualty every two seconds.
May they all rest in peace.

Never been a poetry buff, but thanks to all the contributors. Today is for stopping. And thinking. And imagining, even if you have no direct memories. Thanks to all who gave me that freedom, and to all who guard it still. Thanks also to you with whom I both agree and disagree agreeably. Steel can't sharpen itself. But civil discourse, in its own way, keeps freedom's flame attended, too. Blessings to all, on this solemn and sacred Day.

On a desolate hill above remote Blue Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, lie the remains of mostly young Confederate soldiers, dead of wounds, cholera, typhus, pneumonia, and other ills. Hardly anyone visits the small cemetery, which is often overgrown with weeds and underbrush. Only the kindness of occasional residents of the area allows the cemetery to be recognizable at all. Only a roadside marker on Route 12, some seven miles away, announces the presence of the cemetery. Although it is not politically correct to pay tribute to these lads, I will do so here, for they died, too—young and far from home. One last time, let the world see their names:

Antietam is still the single worst casualty rate for US military for any conflict to date. I've walked the fields there, and it's something to really think about when you realize the history that you're standing on.
Antietam was so violent in that single day that no exact casualty count is known. There were even 6 generals who didn't leave the fields that day if I remember correctly.
I'll always be thankful of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for country. I'm also thankful for those who served, returned home, and are now in their eternal home. May this day of solemn remembrance be a great day for us all who are still here to acknowledge those who worked to keep us free.

PILE the bodies high at Austerlitz and Waterloo.
Shovel them under and let me work—
I am the grass; I cover all.
And pile them high at Gettysburg
And pile them high at Ypres and Verdun.
Shovel them under and let me work.
Two years, ten years, and passengers ask the conductor:
What place is this?
Where are we now?
I am the grass.
Let me work.

"There are 58,267 names on that wall in Washington, DC"
On my dad's first trip to DC to visit me when I lived there, I took him to The Wall – it's moving enough as it is, but when my dad, an 80-year-old vet, himself, looked at the row after row after row of names and just said quietly, "such a waste, such a waste" … to be frank, his reaction affected me as much as the wall, itself.

Soldiers are sworn to action;they must win
Some flaming,fatal climax with their lives.
Soldiers are dreamers , when the guns begin
They think of firelit homes, clean beds and wives.
I see them in foul dug-outs, gnawed by rats ,
And in the ruined trenches, lashed with rain,
Dreaming of things they did with balls and bats,
And mocked by hopeless longing to regain
Bank-holidays ,and picture shows , and spats
And going to the office in the train .
The dance goes on and on and on and on…………………………………

The abortion metaphor taken to extremes:
The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner
From my mother's sleep I fell into the State,
And I hunched in its belly till my wet fur froze.
Six miles from earth, loosed from its dream of life,
I woke to black flak and the nightmare fighters.
When I died they washed me out of the turret with a hose.

Actually, both sides sang that one….
And perhaps it's not so wrong that we seem to be centering here on the Late Misunderstanding. Though there are many stories of the origins of this day, the most generally accepted is that it began when the ladies of Columbus, Mississippi went to clean and decorate the cemetery where the soliders were buried. When some objected to decorating the Yankees' graves, one of them whose son had died in the Gettysburg campaign, said that she certainly hoped that some Yankee lady would do the same for her son. Those objecting were shamed and it became the custom, hailed by the press as a first sign of peace and reconcilliation.

Since 2001, only 0.45% of our population has served in the Global War on Terror.
These are unbelievable statistics.
Over time, fewer and fewer people have shouldered more and more of the burden and it is only getting worse .
Our troops were sent to war in Iraq by a Congress consisting of 10% veterans with only one person having a child in the military.
Taxes did not increase to pay for the war . War bonds were not sold. Gas was not regulated. In fact, the average citizen was asked to sacrifice nothing, and has sacrificed nothing unless they have chosen to out of the goodness of their hearts.
The only people who have sacrificed are the veterans and their families. The volunteers. The people who swore an oath to defend this nation.

I'm afraid that I am not only stealing this from whoever wrote it, but also not quoting it exactly. The DAV organization sometimes sends out patriotic stickers, decals, etc. to those who contribute, and my favorite is a decal that simply states on an American Flag Background "Freedom Isn't Free" — which leads me to this paraphrased quote: We don't have freedom of speech because we have newspapers, books, magazines and electronic media (and now the Internet). We don't have freedom of religion because we have pastors, priests, rabbis, imans and churches, synogogues, and temples. We don't have a government of laws and not men because we have lawyers, judges, and court houses. We don't have free and open and unlimited opportunities to educate ourselves because we have professors, teachers, schools, colleges, and universities. We don't a free economic system open to all to create ideas, work hard, take risks and to become wildly successful or to fail, and every level in between because we have Wall Street, banks, and the federal reserve. NO. We have all of these things and more because American soldiers bravely went to war and gave their last full measure of devotion so that America will always be free. And those Americans who understand that will be forever grateful and forever in their debt.

(Music theme for the movie "We Were Soldiers" ….. old balland entitled ………. "Sgt. McKenzie")
"Joseph MacKenzie wrote the haunting lament after the death of his wife, Christine, and in memory of his great-grandfather, Charles Stuart MacKenzie, a sergeant in the Seaforth Highlanders, who along with hundreds of his brothers-in-arms from the Elgin-Rothes area in Moray, Scotland went to fight in the Great War (World War I).
Sergeant MacKenzie was bayoneted to death at the age of 35, while defending one of his badly injured fellow soldiers in the hand-to-hand fighting of the trenches."

Since Jay chose to mention Fallujah:
"No True Glory (A Frontline Account of the Battle of Fallujah)"
Chapter 27/page 303 – The House From Hell
Note: This passage refers to the THIRD TIME Marines had to die attacking Fallujah due to the waffling of politcal weasles back here in our government.
Yes, sometimes it's even Republicans. For me it was President Johnson.
I call 'em like I see 'em.
"The Marines waited several minutes, then moved forward into the dusty rubble. They saw two bodies lying among the slabs. As they drew closer, they noticed one of them move. "They're still alive !"
An arm flicked limply forward, and a grenade tumbled toward the Marines. They turned and ran for cover. Sanchez saw Grapes and Crossan racing by him ………… the grenade went off injuring no one.
Seven Marines climbed back up the rubble and fired 200 rounds into the two insurgents. Among the detritus, 1/Lt Grapes saw a woolen winter skullcap with bright colors, the kind worn by fighters in Chechnya. He kicked it into the dirt."
I hope some armchair warrior Congressman doesn't read this account or he might call for an investigation to have those seven Marines (if they're still alive) prosecuted for excessive force.
God help us !

I was at Con Thien for part of this. What a haunting song ………….. "Mansions of the Lord".
I get chills (and tears) everytime I hear it.
"Mansions" was originally written for the 2002 film We Were Soldiers, and was performed by the United States Military Academy Glee Club and the Metro Voices.
The hymn also served as the recessional in the 2004 funeral of President Ronald Reagan. That rendition was sung by the Armed Forces Chorus with the United States Marine Chamber Orchestra.
"Mansions Of The Lord"
"To fallen soldiers let us sing
where no rockets fly nor bullets wing
Our broken brothers let us bring
to the mansions of the Lord
No more bleeding no more fight
No prayers pleading through the night
just divine embrace, eternal light
in the mansions of the Lord
Where no mothers cry and no children weep
We will stand and guard tho the angels sleep
All through the ages safely keep the mansions of the Lord"

And here's the whole thing:
The Soldier
I watch as you argue, always disagree,
Then come the many threats, and then comes me.
You send me to battle to kill so you can win,
And then I die so you can do it all again!
Some of you listen and then try hard to change.
Some of you continue on speaking more deranged.
But me, I just wait patiently for that time to come
When you will have to face me square and everything you've done!
Then you'll know beyond a doubt who it is to blame,
And that it does not matter who it is who wins the game.
It's all the same when you are dead, victor, defeated alike,
All lie still where no one lives and where no one is right!

I hear you but I must refer you to my 1:45 post.
And this from Ecclesiastes Chapter 3:
"a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace."
There are times when evil must be fought no matter what the price.

Over the course of the United States, only three groups have EVER been responsible for the destruction of american liberty and freedom – the executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial branch of the federal government. Foreign enemies clearly never had the ability to invade our country. There were some over time (and some still) that have the ability to destroy us with nuclear weapons, but countries like Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia, Libya and the like certainly have no military capabilities that threaten us on our soil. And yet we are supposed to believe that the US military is "protecting our freedoms" and "defending our freedoms" from these folks and others.
And yet at the end of the day, during the course of every war, during the course of every period between the wars, it has been the federal government that has been directly responsible for the destruction of our constitution, the right of habeus corpus, the Bill of Rights, the right to trial by jury, the right of free speech, the right to be secure in our persons and property from unwarranted search and siezure, etc.
So what exactly are we supposed to be honoring today??
All the fighting, dying, loss of life, loss of limbs, etc. and we as a people are FAR less free than we were before these wars were fought, before these soldiers died, before these trillions were wasted.
Nobody ever seems to have the courage to publically ask these harsh questions. Nobody ever seems to have the answers to the basic question of why our soldiers are off fighting people that do not in any way have the ability to destroy our freedoms, when nobody is at home (except the libertarians) working to defend our freedoms from the only threat they truly face – the government.

A great quote when taken in its proper context.
Some use it so say a Christian should never be violent. If that's true there should be no Christian soldiers, police officers, etc., and some say you should never use violence to protect yourself or even your family. That of course, is an absurd position to take ………. as well as being UNBIBLICAL.
That is not the context of that verse.
Here is a good article on the subject if you choose to read it.

"If Romney believes…." you are a sad and despicable person.
Also a quote that we would do well to remember although I forget the author-" The only thing that evil needs to flourish is for good men to stand by and do nothing". WW2, the holocaust, Rwanda, etc. everyone keep this in mind please- that although war is detestable it is also necessary that good men not stand by and allow evil to flourish. Happy Memorial day everyone. Doomy out.

Mrs. Ross, my 7th Grade teacher at Stonewall Elementary, had us recite this every day after the Pledge of Allegiance. She was an amazing person who had a great influence on my life.
The American's Creed
by William Tyler Page
I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, a democracy in a republic, a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.
–Written 1917, accepted by the United States House of Representatives on April 3, 1918.

During the 7th grade year, she also had us memorize My Native Land by Sir Walter Scott.
Breathes there the man, with soul so dead,
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land!
Whose heart hath ne'er within him burn'd,
As home his footsteps he hath turn'd
From wandering on a foreign strand!
If such there breathe, go, mark him well;
For him no Minstrel raptures swell;
High though his titles, proud his name,
Boundless his wealth as wish can claim;
Despite those titles, power, and pelf,
The wretch, concentred all in self,
Living, shall forfeit fair renown,
And, doubly dying, shall go down
To the vile dust, from whence he sprung,
Unwept, unhonour'd, and unsung.

It's you who are out of context, sir: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, and soul, and do unto others as you would have others do unto you. All the law and prophets are based upon these two," he said.
These are your plain-and-simple context, Scout, but you always find ways around them. And where's the faith if you don't think they work, and how does that make you a Christian?
I mean, like most true believers, I have the will of God for my well-being, so I don't need a gun. Could you please explain to everyone why you think you need so many?

When I was on leave following two years in Iceland, I tried to get in touch with my 7th grade teacher, Mrs. Ross. I wanted to thank her; to tell her how she had been such a positive influence in my life.
Sadly, I learned she had succumbed to some terminal illness a few years prior. I sometimes wonder if she knew the magnitude of change she had forged in this veteran's life.
So, on this Memorial Day, I not only want to thank the fallen, but also honor those who changed the lives of those that served.
Thank You Mrs. Ross…

I do because I can't afford the ticket, Scout. But I'm never afraid, especially not the paranoid kind of fear you constantly exibit in your posts. So now it's your turn again: Why do you not trust God to take care of you and your family, because you don't trust his will? Just asking.

Since the restored Ferry Building reopened in 2002, the Ferry Plaza farmers' market has become a sightseeing attraction in its own right. White tents spill out into the open air from both the north and south arcades, with locals and tourists grazing from stalls of aged goat's cheese, freshly baked bread slathered in flavoured olive oil, organic persimmons, pasta and gourmet sausages. There's lots of bustle, especially on a Saturday: agoraphobics should visit on a non-market day to check out the excellent food shops and restaurants inside the Ferry Building. Note that hours for individual shops and eateries within the Ferry Plaza Farmers' Market may vary.

adidas Women's Joggers – Cuffed Hem Essentials
This sleek pair of women's joggers is beautifully understated, and it's ideal as part of any sports or sports-casual outfit.
There are cuffed hems on these adidas joggers and there's an adidas logo to the left leg. The waist is elasticated and there's a choice of black or grey colourways.
Adi Dassler started making athletic shoes in Germany in 1924. He even kitted out Olympic legend Jesse Owens when he won his historic 4 gold medals in the 1936 Olympics. But it wasn't until 1949 that the name "adidas" (Adi Dassler) first appeared, along with the iconic three stripes motif. Since then, the company has become the preferred choice of countless champions over the years; notable brand ambassadors include Lionel Messi and David Beckham.
Wear these women's joggers with a contrast long line top (try cat no 2ACYY) for a stylish fitness outfit.

2014 MLS SuperDraft
2014 MLS SuperDraft
PHILADELPHIA – Clubs and hopeful pro prospects enter Thursday's MLS SuperDraft prepared for the drama poised to unfold at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.
All involved parties will hope to emerge from the day with some sort of tangible progress to mark. Clubs seek to bolster their rosters with one or two potential contributors and a project or two to cultivate along the way. Players want to hear their names called to learn their next destinations and vindicate their work over the past few years.
The circumstances create one of the showpiece events on the MLS calendar. In the buildup to the fracas, here are a few points worth monitoring as the day proceed.
1. Forget about trying to suss out the SuperDraft: Coaches and technical directors spent much of the past few days attempting to establish some sort of consensus order within this draft class. It never emerged. Uncertainty reigns. D.C. United – or some team willing to trade to the top of the pecking order – will dictate how the dominoes will fall when it makes its first selection.
2. D.C. United will and probably should consider dealing the top pick: United reached out to several teams over the past few days to gauge the market if it indeed decides to drop down the order. Every club proceeds though that process as a matter of due diligence, but it might make some sense for United to strongly consider a decent offer. General manager Dave Kasper cited salary budget concerns as one of the reasons why United did not pursue Maurice Edu or Marco Pappa to local reporters on Tuesday. If United isn't high on one of the Generation adidas options at number one, then the opportunity to accumulate some assets makes some sense.
A day after a frustrating 1-1 draw with Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern Munich replaced their boots with lederhosen and took some time off to relax at Germany's famed Oktoberfest. After the match, Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge told the players, "Celebrate freely. Our next game isn't for another two weeks. We can enjoy the beer."
Oh, and enjoy they did. Pep Guardiola and his team spent the day with their families drinking beer, laughing and savoring the rare time off, as they toasted last season's treble-winning success and are looking forward to more under Guardiola.
Guardiola and his wife dressed the part for the festival.
The team gathered for a little bonding. There's nothing like beer and bratwurst to bring people together.
It was a family affair too, with the kids coming out to play. Look at Daniel Van Buyten's son is eying his dad's beer intently. Hopefully he kept it at a safe distance.
It was a well-deserved day off for the Bundesliga leaders, who are one point ahead of Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen after eight league matches, as they head into the international break.

Every sentence out of José Manuel de la Torre carries the potential to infuriate at the moment, but the Mexico manager's current stance on the prospect of including nationalized players in his squad will likely provoke genuine anger in some quarters.
The idea of allowing naturalized citizens – usually defined in this case as imports with no familial ties to the country – to play for El Tri sparks vociferous debate every time the topic emerges. It did when Guillermo Franco, Antonio Naelson Sinha and Vicente Matías Vuoso earned a place in the team. It does now when the possibility of including Christian Giménez (a player who has already declared his willingness to turn out for Mexico), Lucas Lobos and Lucas Silva in a future squad rises to the fore.

An amateur soccer match turned barbaric, leading to the deaths of a match referee and player in northeastern Brazil.
The Public Safety Department of the state of Maranhao said in a statement that it started when referee Otavio da Silva expelled player Josenir Abreu from a game last weekend. The two got into a fist fight, then Silva took out a knife and stabbed Abreu, who died on his way to the hospital.
After witnessing the attack, fans invaded the field to attack the referee, who was stoned to death and quartered. Local news media are also reporting that the spectators decapitated Silva and stuck his head on a stake in the middle of the field.
In an official statement, Valter Costa, police chief of Santa Ines in Maranhão, confirmed the ongoing investigation and assured the public that suspects were being questioned.
"Reports of witnesses have indicated some people that were in place at the time of the fact. We will identify and hold accountable all those involved. A crime will never justify another. Actions like this do not collaborate with the legality of a state law."
Bayern treble!

As far as national teams go, Belgium is perhaps the hottest one around. No other country that has achieved so little for so long generates quite as much buzz.
After the Belgian federation doubled down on youth development a decade or so ago, Belgium head coach Marc Wilmots – who played in the last four World Cup's Belgium qualified for in 1990, 1994, 1998 and 2002 – now finds himself overwhelmed with great players and elite prospects.
Simply put, there isn't enough room to play them.
Here's how rioting works. If you run away, you look guilty. But if you stay where you appear innocent, as this old man found out during a fight between riot police and ultras at the Steau Bucuresti and Dinamo Bucuresti derby in Romania on Friday night. Cool as ice.
Mario Balotelli might have some explaining to do the next time he sees his Belgian model girlfriend Fanny Neguesha. And hopefully she's in the mood for a good joke.
The AC Milan star recently joked to Spanish newspaper Marca that he'll let Real Madrid players get intimate with his better half if they reach the Champions League final:
"If Real Madrid come back against Borussia Dortmund and make it to the Final of the Champions League, then I will let my girlfriend sleep with all the players."
While a comeback seems unlikely - Dortmund thrashed the Spanish giants 4-1 in their Champions League semifinal first leg match last week, leaving the Germans closer to a date at Wembley next month - it's an outrageous comment even for Super Mario.
UPDATE: Milan denied that Balotelli said this, in a statement saying, "Milan would like to make it clear that the player never made any comments regarding the match."

Makes you wonder if this is how they treat their players all the time. Do they constantly yell at them on the field? Are their contracts written up in all caps? This sign effectively created more questions than it has answered.
