One of the most famous sports posters ever produced! Published as part of the Life Magazine Classics collection, this stunning print features legendary sports photographer George Silk's famous shot of students cheering on the Pirates from the top of the University of Pittsburgh's Cathedral of Learning, high above Forbes Field during Game 7 of the 1960 World Series between the New York Yankees and the Pittsburgh Pirates. It was the greatest day in the history of Pittsburgh sports - October 13, 1960, when Bill Mazeroski captured the imagination of a generation with his series-winning bottom-of-the-ninth walk-off home run. From the enthusiasm of the young fans above, to the classic-era ballpark and the surrounding Pittsburgh neighborhoods below, this is photography at its best, and a slice of Americana from a more innocent era. A stunning work of black-and-white photographic art, perfect for home or office! NOTE: This item is now out-of-print; limited quantity remains in our warehouse.

Henne is a beast, and if you know how to use him Teddy G is a MONSTER!
Henne is a beast, and if you know how to use him Teddy G is a MONSTER!
Do you guys feel like this game is alot harder? Mainly running. In 08, I could have like 20-25 carries for anywhere from 120-200 yards, every game. But in my first game I had like 16 carries and like 70 yards. I'm sure I'll get better once I play it more, but right now it makes me so frustrated. The same thing goes for passing, not to that extent, but still.
Also, I'm not using the My Skill thing. I started on All-Pro, but I got nowhere so I went to Pro for now, and thats what I got those pitiful stats on...
hell yea its harder. running used to be my strength. in my first 2 games i got probably 30 carries for 28 yards.
i played with NO and with Duece i had 10 carries for -4 yards. ****in game is horrible so far. i get ran through in the backfield before i even get a chance. and thats on ****in all pro....
I always thought it would be better if they came out with madden a little bit later than the usual release date due to the roster problems. The new update is fairly reasonable but Im just going to play ncaa football til the next update.
after playing more and more this game does ****ing suck. way to many negatives to even list.
The game went 'Gold' two months ago. For those of you who don't know what that means, it means the developers finished working on it, and havent touched it since, two months ago. Thats Why taylor was still on the team, thats why Favre wasnt in the game, and thats why Pennington was still a Jet.
As for the complaints of the stadium, thats kind of nit picking, though EA asked for with exclusivity.
Bess and Foster may not even make the team for what we know, so madden may be right.
And Donald Thomas has done absolutely nothing to deserve a higher rating. Hopefully he WILL, but going off what they had at the time, why would EA rate him any higher? And even now, why would they rate him any higher just for starting in preseason?
"Having moneys not everything, not having it is"
Yeah, I was pretty surprised how decent the roster was (after the update)
but I wouldn't go as far as to say that it ****ing sucks. It'll just take some getting used to.
... alot of getting used to.
Man! Running is just impossible. Passing isnt AS bad, but its no walk in the park. I'm going to illustrate in paint what seems to be happening.
First off, let's just say I NEED a fast QB, so I gave John Beck like 87 speed. And as far as Ricky Williams goes, I will always love him, so I upped his rating. 96 elusive, 90 trucking, 97 speed, 97 stiff arm. upped his spin and juke into the mid/high 90's. and other things, but his overall is now 98.
the O-Line is okay, Long and Carey are good and the rest are pretty decent.
Okay, the play is meant to go inside. But in 08, I would always bounce out and truck or juke some people to get the first, or atleast 6-7 yards.
Slide 1- What I try to do
Slide 2- It seems to work, I get past the ONE guy (if i'm lucky) but then, the other 2 guys escape from the blockers within a second.
Slide 3- Dominated, as soon as either I get the ball in my hands, or start to try to run.
Most of the time it's 3 though.
btw: I tried on All-Pro but got dominated, so everything illustrated in the play is on PRO. How pitiful is that?! I don't like the My Skill thing either
Though Of course Im in my second season of my Franchise and I imported the draft class fro NCAA. So now I have Pat White as my QB, makes the game a lot more fun.
you guys are tripping man, u prob just dono hwo to play. its a LOT harder then the previous one but 08 was a NITE AND DAY DIFF and harder then the 07 one and 08 took me a while to get used too. u guys expect to turn it on and be good at it, thats what u dont understand, they aren't making madden for ur avg joe gammer, its such a hit and a task that its become for the serious gamer that plays online half the time if not all the time and competes with tough players so there aren't any glitches or stupid fake stuff going on. for example, in 06, i used to have moss run a fly route (S. Moss not Randy) and it was nearly impossible to guard due to his speed. they took that fake **** out and u guy sare complaining? lol play me wiht that mode and we'll see if u will be happy with the end result or not.
this game is very very good and im a serious madden gamer (ranked 329 at one point) and i can tell u this is the best one to come out although it is much harder. the only complaint i have so far is that the qbs with weak arms it shows a lot more then usual such as Romo. hes arm for the deep ball is crappy but last year wiht that THP it was as if hes THP was 95, so instead of ebing somewhere in the middle of the two they kinda made it float 30 yards on a lob. im ok wiht that cuz I am better iwth MIA online instead of Dal interestingly cuz iwht DAL in 08 i was very very very hard to beat.
Is neone getting the "game freezing" issue when u get an injured player online and it takes an injury timeout? happened twice to me.

Nick and C.J. (Tide)
And Nick has been grooming little Camden since he was just 48 hours old. "Literally, two days after we got home from the hospital, I had him in his Bengals onesie and we were watching the game together," boasts the proud father, who has partnered with Tide for its Show Us Your Colors campaign (post your team spirit photo here by November 30 for a chance to win an all-expenses-paid trip to Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans). "For me as a big sports and football fan, I remember sharing those memories with my dad when I was a kid and now it's exciting to be able to share this with Camden."
The little guy has also inspired his father in his other passion: music. Nick, 38, reveals to omg! that he's currently in the studio recording an album of lullabies that should be released early next year. Fatherhood, he says, "has been magical. That's the right word for it. He's an amazing little boy, and every day is filled with new experiences and new memories and new moments. It's been pretty cool." The experience has also brought him closer with his wife. Camden "is a reflection of both of us," says Nick. "This is the life we created together … and that just strengthens your own bond as a couple."
Nick and Vanessa. (WireImage)
But one longstanding rumor that is 100 percent true is the reunion of 98 Degrees. After getting back together for a one-off performance last summer, all four guys are ready to give it another go — more than 11 years after they originally disbanded. In addition to a new album, Nick says they also have plans to tour next summer. "At this point in our lives you want to do that kind of thing because it's fun and we definitely had a blast this summer performing together. I'd say there's definitely more to come there."
And there's definitely more pint-sized Lacheys to come. "We'll give it a little bit of time," jokes Nick since Vanessa just gave birth a month ago. "We're both family people so I'd imagine we'll have more."

This question came from our site for engineers, producers, editors, and enthusiasts spanning the fields of video, and media creation.
It sounds like you may have a corrosion problem with one of the knobs or switches on the amp. You may also hear a "scratchy" sound when you turn the volume or balance knobs.
I have an old Kenwood amp that I use for my studio monitors that has the same problem. When I flip the switches and turn the knobs back and forth it usually fixes the problem and everything works fine... ...for a while.
The Solution:
Try using DeoxIT on the knobs and switches on the amp. It will clean up the corrosion and should fix the problem with the speakers cutting out.

FFRF saves Tucson taxpayers $1.1 million
The Freedom From Religion Foundation received word in September that the Tucson City Council has permanently suspended its decision to grant $1.1 million to the Catholic Diocese of Tucson, Ariz., to repair the church's Marist building.
FFRF Staff Attorney Andrew Seidel had written an Aug. 7 letter to Mayor Jonathan Rothschild, warning that it was unwise policy for the city to offer $1.1 million to repair a religious building it does not own.
"If you truly believe the best policy is to repair the Marist building, then the diocese should sign the building and property over to you free and clear. Alternatively, given the neglect the diocese has shown for a piece of Tucson history, consider seizing the property through eminent domain. Title should not remain with the diocese if the taxpayers are paying $1.1 million."
Ward 6 Councilman Steve Kozachik, who was one of two council members to vote against the original funding scheme, noted at the time, "The Catholic Church has neglected it for a decade. If they were serious about this building, they could cancel one of their pro-life ad blitzes and pay for it in a heartbeat."
Seidel echoed this point in his letter. "The diocese is perfectly willing to spend money to restore its other property. Last year, the church spent $75,000 to restore a crucifix." He pointed out the diocese just spent $1.1 million raised in the "Treasures of the Heart" campaign to restore St. Augustine Cathedral next door to the Marist building.
According to a Sept. 11 memo by City Manager Richard Miranda, "The diocese of Tucson has informed city staff that they wish to retain ownership of the Marist College so that it can be used by them and the local parish."
Miranda explained that because of the diocese's position, the grant "can not be accommodated" and the city will "take no further action regarding a potential agreement for the use of [grant] funds for the stabilization of the Marist College." The city has already begun allocating the grant funds for other projects, including road and water tower repairs.
"This is a major victory for taxpayers and for the constitutional principle of separation between state and church," said FFRF Co-President Annie Laurie Gaylor. "It pays to complain, or rather in this case, our complaint stops an unconstitutional payment."
Seidel's letter reviewed details on the diocese's healthy finances despite bankruptcy after payouts for more than 100 credible allegations of sexual misconduct with minors involving 26 priests.
FFRF, not Jesus,
saves taxpayers
An FFRF letter of complaint Aug. 21 about a wrongful religious tax exemption in Wichita, Kan., resulted in the property being put back on the tax rolls and back taxes assessed. Sedgwick County Appraiser Mike Borchard said in October that Grace Baptist Church owes $2,194 in back taxes for 2010 and 2011 on a home occupied by a local politician.
Staff Attorney Patrick Elliott wrote to Borchard after being alerted to the nonexempt use of the home, which has been listed as a parsonage for clergy since 1996. Michael O'Donnell, a Wichita City Council member and Kansas Senate candidate, lives in the home. He's the son of a Grace Baptist Church pastor of the same name.
Pastor Michael O'Donnell said the church will refile a tax exemption request, "essentially appealing the appraiser's ruling," the Wichita Eagle reported Oct. 17. Under state law, there is a presumption that property is taxable. The church will have the burden to show that the house is exempt.
The younger O'Donnell, who has now changed his original story to the newspaper on whether he was paying rent to the church, accused FFRF of having "a political agenda."
Not so, responded Elliott to the Wichita Eagle, "We're an apolitical group, a nonprofit that does not get involved in elections or campaigns, but we are concerned about state-church issues, including churches abusing tax privileges, which was the case here."
The house is taxable for 2012, but because levies aren't set, an exact figure isn't known, Borchard told the newspaper. The church likely faces a total bill for current and back taxes in excess of $3,000.
FFRF stops city's church collaboration
The city of West Linn, Ore., rescinded an unconstitutional grant to Willamette Christian Church after a Sept. 28 Freedom From Religion Foundation letter of complaint.
It came to FFRF's attention that the West Linn City Council had approved a $1,300 grant to the church, ostensibly to start a teen center called The Summit. City staff purportedly spent considerable time on the proposal, with the regular fees waived.
Councilor Mike Jones, who later became a member of the church, was apparently the driving force behind the grant, fee waiver and overall proposal.
"Finding suitable after-school activities for middle school students and providing them a safe place to gather is laudable," wrote FFRF Staff Attorney Andrew Seidel. "Teen programming may be a genuine concern for the community, and while WCC is willing to address that concern to a certain extent, the record provides ample evidence that the city's actions crossed appropriate constitutional boundaries."
It's clear that the center, which would have been managed by the YMCA on weekdays, had religious purposes, Seidel noted. "WCC has scheduled 'church-related activities' for twice as much time as teen center activities."
The schedule called for the center to be open 10 hours a week to the general public and 20 hours a week for church activities.
FFRF noted numerous public statements that the main use of the center would be for church activities.
"The primary effect is to help a church expand by funding new construction," Seidel wrote. "In other words, the council gave WCC $1,300 to expand their church space."
FFRF suspected the center would be another way to target children who would otherwise not attend WCC.
"The city had no safeguards against religious use or proselytization at the time the grant and waiver were approved, nor does the city have any way to ensure that YMCA involvement continues. WCC is leasing the space, setting the hours and has the final say in all decisions. Should they choose not to partner with the YMCA, the city has no recourse."
The complaint letter noted other problems with the proposal, including waiver of fees, parking impacts, city officials in their official capacity sitting on a church advisory board and Councilor Jones' ties to the church.
While the city has not formally responded, FFRF has learned the proposal is dead, at least for now.
According to an Oct. 2 story in the Oregonian, Assistant City Manager Kirsten Wyatt told the newspaper the city decided to immediately rescind the grant to avoid controversy and a legal battle.
"Our options are either fight this or say, 'Hey, $1,300 isn't that much money,' " Wyatt said. "We're chalking this up as a learning experience."
FFRF pulls plug on hospital religion
A public hospital in Hollister, Calif., will no longer allow Christian prayers and verses to be displayed on its walls.
Hazel Hawkins Hospital formerly displayed Christian prayers, including a plaque entitled "Nurse's Prayer" on the wall in the medical surgical unit.
In a June 26 letter, FFRF Staff Attorney Stephanie Schmitt warned, "Government-run hospitals have a constitutional obligation to remain neutral toward religion."
On Sept. 17, FFRF received assurance from hospital management that they "have taken all appropriate actions to address the areas identified and respect constitutional rights of all employees."
Lord's Prayer out, silence is in
Another Pennsylvania school board has decided to drop prayer at board meetings after getting a letter from FFRF.
The Octorara Area School Board in Atglen voted to substitute a moment of silence for Christian prayer to open meetings.
FFRF Senior Staff Attorney Rebecca Markert had written Aug. 17 to board President Lisa Bowman on behalf of a local complainant about the illegal recitation of the Lord's Prayer as an invocation. She reminded the board of numerous court rulings that said scheduled prayer at school board meetings is unconstitutional.
While the school hasn't formally notified FFRF of the change, according to a LancasterOnline story, the decision was made Sept. 17. The story said Vice President Brian Norris told the board it must honor the law and that members could meet privately to pray before meetings.
The advice to pray privately didn't sit well with everyone, the news story said: "Three school board members, however, stepped down from the official table to protest the change. Board member John McCartney Jr. walked to the end of the table and knelt in prayer as the school board began its new tradition of a moment of silence."
Bowman was out of town but told the board in a letter: "The board should not put the district at [financial] risk. It could affect taxpayer and student programming."
The Greencastle-Antrim, Eastern Lancaster County, Grove City and Big Spring school boards also voted recently to stop praying before meetings after getting FFRF letters.
Georgia district drops team chaplain
FFRF has followed up on Walker County Schools' (Ridgeland, Ga.) response to its request to investigate unusual constitutional violations by Ridgeland High School football coach Mark Mariakis. Although praising the superintendent's "commitment to upholding the Constitution," the letter raised some lingering concerns.
FFRF Staff Attorney Andrew Sei-del's Aug. 21 letter of complaint had detailed allegations FFRF had received over a number of egregious public sports-church entanglements at Ridgeland High School. Most notably, they included the coach taking public school football teams to pre-game church meals where pre-meal prayers are conducted.
FFRF also asked for an investigation into the allegation that Mariakis regularly prays with his teams, had pressured public school students to attend a "Christian football camp" and that the team had adopted a "team chaplain."
Superintendent Damon Raines responded Aug. 30 that "the district will not have a team chaplain nor will school officials or employees, including coaches, organize, lead or participate in any prayers. Staff will also refrain from participating in the FCA [Fellowship of Christian Athletes]."
The district indicated pregame meals will no longer include "religious references."
As Seidel stated in his Sept. 11 reply, "taking public school teams to church still involves constitutional concerns." Quoting legal precedent that prohibits public schools from holding graduations in churches, Seidel argued that regardless of the purpose in choosing to have a pregame meal in a church, "the sheer religiosity of the space create[s] a likelihood that high school students . . . would perceive a link between church and state." FFRF suggested that the district could avoid legal liability and save money on transportation by hosting a "potluck" at the school and allowing "any organization, restaurant, or business to donate meals."
FFRF was alarmed over Mariakis' attendance on Sept. 9 at a "Rally to Pray" by those who wish to "keep prayer in the practices and before games." FFRF's response called the coach's appearance inappropriate, saying, "It seems to send a message that he is unrepentant and hostile to First Amendment limitations on his proselytizing."
The letter asked the schools to investigate the context of his remarks and to "ensure that Mariakis understands he cannot use his position as coach to 'share the Gospel' with his team and other public students."
FFRF urged the district to adopt a written policy over religion in the schools "clearly prohibiting proselytizing and prayer by school officials or at school-arranged and sanctioned events."
FFRF also noted that it appears public school buses and drivers are taking players, coaches and staff from the school to churches for meals. FFRF further requested a response to an unanswered allegation from its original complaint that the football program has used the bible as a motivational tool.
Faculty now barred from Christian club
A teacher in Abbeville County Consolidated School District, Abbeville, S.C., will no longer be allowed to actively participate in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes student club.
The Wright Middle School science teacher was the group's faculty sponsor but actively participated in its 2010 prayer meeting and praised its Christian agenda. She stated in an article on the South Carolina FCA website that the 200-student prayer group was "very sweet and moving" and that at each FCA meeting they've had a student come to Christ.
A June 18 letter from Staff Attorney Rebecca Markert warned, "The Supreme Court has stated that public school employees, including teachers, must refrain from actively participating in religious activities while acting within their governmental role."
An attorney responded Sept. 14 that the district would "ensure that school faculty understand their role with regard to the sponsorship of religious [clubs] so that no further concerns will occur."
FFRF halts discount at Miss. restaurant
A restaurant in Wiggins, Miss., will no longer offer a preferential discount to church-going patrons.
Western Sizzlin' Steakhouse promoted a "half-off buffet" to customers who presented a "church member appreciation card." The discount was valid only for members of three local Baptist churches.
In a June 11 letter, FFRF Staff Attorney Stephanie Schmitt warned the manager that the restaurant was in violation of the Civil Rights Act and that "it is illegal for Western Sizzlin' to discriminate, or show favoritism, on the basis of religion."
In a Sept. 11 response, management confirmed the business will "discontinue including churches in our discount promotions and programs moving forward and will only offer them to other local businesses and companies that are not religious in nature."
Michigan board drops opening prayer
The Pellston [Mich.] Public Schools board meetings no longer open with prayer after FFRF letters of complaint. The prayers were often delivered by a board member.
FFRF first sent a letter in July 2011. An attorney for the board responded that he didn't believe the prayers were illegal.
In a November 2011 follow-up, Staff Attorney Stephanie Schmitt clarified the law. She urged discontinuation of the practice immediately to "eliminate the need for costly and protracted litigation of an issue that is settled by the courts."
The attorney responded Sept. 10 that "the Board of Education no longer opens its meetings with a prayer. Instead, the Board observes a moment of silence which is not intended to promote religion."
Teacher uses FFRF's letter against student
A Cheektowaga [N.Y.] Central High School teacher who posted bible verses and a drawing of three crosses in her classroom has been admonished.
She also invited a guest speaker to her advanced placement anatomy class who used bible verses to encourage students to "head down the right path, according to FFRF's student complainant.
Senior Staff Attorney Rebecca Markert objected in a June 7 letter to Superintendent Dennis Kane. The student reported that the teacher shared FFRF's letter with the class on the last day of school and verbally attacked the student anonymously, alleging that the person who had complained to FFRF lacked integrity and character and was on the same level as a student who had cheated on the class's final exam.
Markert sent another letter June 14 to the school district outlining the teacher's egregious reprisal. In a series of replies on June 20, June 22 and Sept. 11, Kane informed FFRF that he took the complaint very seriously, had done an extensive investigation and confirmed that the student's allegations were true.
Kane told FFRF that all religious displays were removed from the classroom and said the teacher was reprimanded and directed not to discuss religion in her classroom.
Arkansas teacher told
to stop religious talk
An elementary teacher in the Little Rock [Ark.] School District who "referred to Jesus and God in several conversations" has been warned to stop. A June 21 letter from Staff Attorney Patrick Elliott cautioned the district "to make certain that 'subsidized teachers do not inculcate religion.' "
The district responded Sept. 13, assuring FFRF that the administration told the teacher that her conduct "was inappropriate and that she must follow the LRSD 5th Grade Curriculum."
FFRF action stops football prayers
Monroe High School in Alexandria, Ind., will no longer permit coaches to participate in or facilitate pregame prayer. In a May 23 letter to the Alexandria Community School Corp., Staff Attorney Andrew Seidel informed the district that coaches were violating the law.
The superintendent responded Sept. 12: "The administration has undertaken measures to correct behavior by providing reference to our school policy and the case law . . . as well as your original correspondence to the building principals and athletic director."
Pregame prayers will no longer be broadcast over the loudspeaker at West Jones High School football games in Ellisville, Miss.
Staff Attorney Stephanie Schmitt wrote an Aug. 26 letter to the school district. After several follow-up letters, FFRF has learned that prayers have been replaced by a moment of silence.
Epic fail for teacher's 'Critical Thinking'
A Suwannee High School teacher in Live Oak, Fla., is no longer permitted to display religious images in his "Critical Thinking" classroom. FFRF was alerted that the teacher had a Ten Commandments statue on his desk and a poster with a quotation exhorting people to pray.
"It is unconstitutional for the school to promote a religious message to students through calls to prayer and religious iconography put on display by a school official," Staff Attorney Andrew Seidel wrote Aug. 28.
Three days later, the superintendent responded that "religious statutes, posters, or messages" had all been removed from the classroom.
Religious commercial forced off air
The New Mexico Department of Health has stopped airing an anti-smoking TV ad containing religious messages. The ad featured a woman in a church pew praying, lamenting her ability to quit smoking and making the Catholic sign of the cross.
In a May 3 letter, Co-President Annie Laurie Gaylor noted "this imagery tends to send the message that the New Mexico Department of Health endorses the Christian religion."
On Sept. 5, the agency answered that "The ad is no longer being placed and there is no plan to renew the license for that spot of others in the 'Dear Me' series at this time."
Water board can't pray for rain in Oklahoma
The Oklahoma Water Resources Board stopped opening its meetings with Christian prayers after getting an Aug. 1 letter from Staff Attorney Andrew Seidel.
An attorney for the board responded Sept. 10 that "the OWRB has discontinued the invocational prayer at the beginning of its regular monthly meetings."
FFRF investigates election abuse complaints
'Tis the season for FFRF to combat potentially illegal electioneering by churches and pastors. On Oct. 17, Senior Staff Attorney Rebecca Markert sent a letter to the Internal Revenue Service regarding the senior pastor of Summit Church in Wichita, Kan.
Senior Pastor Terry Fox ran an ad in the Wichita Eagle stating that he would speak "about how the Obama administration and its socialistic agenda is [sic] making the way for the Antichrist to take over the world." Fox and Pastor Joe also host the church's weekly radio show, on which they routinely breach the wall of state/church separation.
Fox stated on one show that "There's no question in my mind that the sitting president we have today is far more evil and far more committed to a one-world government. . ."
These pastors also previously violated IRS rules when they endorsed Rick Santorum during the Republican presidential primary. The church's publication, The Summit Informer, includes illegal political campaign intervention, including an issue in August which railed against Obama's campaign strategies: "The secular left has mastered use of the Internet to further its extremist goals. In fact, President Obama's web-based 'Organizing for America' propaganda machine may have given him the 2008 election. Let's beat them at their own game."
Romney endorsement
On Oct. 19, Markert wrote to the IRS about a sign outside of Church in the Valley, Leakey, Texas. The church's marquee read, "Vote for the Mormon, not the Muslim! The capitalist, not the communist!"
Markert stated the church violated IRS regulations by expressly advocating its support from presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
Bullies in the pulpit
FFRF's legal staff continues to sift through complaints generated from the so-called Pulpit Freedom Sunday on Oct. 7 that was organized by the Alliance Defending Freedom, a Religious Right law firm formerly called the Alliance Defense Fund. The pastors are thumbing their noses at the IRS, which has stopped enforcing the 1954 Johnson Amendment that requires political neutrality on candidates in order to maintain tax-exempt status.
It was first held in 2008 with 33 pastors taking part in 2008. A record 1,477 participated this year, organizers said.
The San Diego Union-Tribune reported that Skyline Church Pastor Jim Garlow ended his Sunday sermon in La Mesa with this: "Some came to hear to hear an endorsement. My endorsement will be Jesus. I'll tell you whom I'm going to vote for, but I don't think that makes it an endorsement. I'm going to vote for Mitt Romney, but I'm not telling you to."
The Bloomberg News editorial board summed it up pretty well Oct. 3:
"The plan is for pastors to make explicit candidate endorsements in their churches, tape the endorsements and send the incriminating evidence to the Internal Revenue Service. . . . This is not a battle for free speech, in the pulpit or out. It's a test of whether Americans are willing to allow a taxpayer subsidy to be used for partisan political activity."
Voting in churches
FFRF continues to receive complaints from members distressed about voting in churches. FFRF sent three letters in October to elections officials asking them to refrain from selecting churches as polling places in their precincts.
Senior Staff Attorney Rebecca Markert sent a letter to the Wake County Board of Elections in Raleigh, N.C., regarding a large picture of Jesus right above a voting booth in Christ Baptist Church.
Letters also were sent to the village clerk in Germantown, Wis., and the Orange County supervisor of elections in Orlando, Fla., asking them to "remove churches as polling places for future elections."
Look what happened in Murfreesboro, Tenn., a city with more than six dozen churches. Muslims wanted one mosque, but the locals would have none of it. Scratch an "oppressed" Christian and watch a hypocrite bleed.

I just think they're misrepresenting certain minorities. Judaism, atheism, the lack of a religion, agnosticism or Islam — their God or their lack of God wasn't on this banner. And I think if it were, then that would be equally offensive to the many Christians that are in this community.

As Every Student Every School's name implies, their idea is to proselytize every student in every public school in America through an aggressive "Adopt-a-School" campaign. And the way to do it is to have the kids do what grownups are not allowed to do: establish full-fledged missionary operations inside the schools. A clever map allows viewers to click on their state and type in their area code, revealing every school in the district and determine whether it has been "adopted" by churches or other religious organizations. Kids from those entities are instructed to conduct daily prayer groups during the school day, distribute religious literature and are given numerous other ideas for practicing or promoting their religion at school.

Texas judge overrules school on bible banners
Texas District Judge Steve Thomas of Hardin County implemented a temporary injunction Oct. 18 in Matthews v. Kountze Independent School District that allows Kountze High School cheerleaders to make and hold Christian banners for football players to run through before games and for players to carry them around the stadium.
Thomas didn't rule on the actual merits of the case but set a June 24 hearing date for a permanent injunction, thus allowing the banners to be displayed through the end of the school year.
The injunction temporarily overturned the decision Superintendent Kevin Weldon made barring the banners after receiving a Sept. 17 letter from FFRF Staff Attorney Stephanie Schmitt on behalf of a local complainant.
The team ran through banners at home games with bible verses such as "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (Philippians 4:13); "I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 3:14); and "If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31).
Responding to FFRF's complaint, Weldon told a TV station, "I commend [the cheerleaders] for what they stand for. But I called legal counsel and even though it's led by students, it should not be allowed to go on."
Schmitt had cited a long list of court cases that have held such displays "constitute an unconstitutional government endorsement of religion. A reasonable Kountze student would certainly perceive the banners 'as stamped with [their] school's approval.' " The prevailing precedent is Santa Fe Independent School District v. Doe, a 2000 Supreme Court case.
According to cheerleaders, the bible banner idea came from an instructional camp they attended. "Coaches preach devotionals before games. We wanted to show our support for our boys," Meagan Tantillo said.
Banner supporters were immediately up in arms at the school's decision. FFRF's phone lines were swamped for several days with angry callers as the story went national, with coverage by major broadcast and print media, including "Good Morning America," the Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. FFRF Co-President Dan Barker faced off with a Liberty Institute spokesperson on Fox News.
Gov. Rick Perry and Attorney General Greg Abbott intervened on behalf of the Liberty Institute, an evangelical law firm, which sued to get the temporary restraining order. Both state officials made inflammatory public statements, as both have done in the past on state/church issues. Abbott called FFRF "menacing and misleading."
The grandstanding attorney general then proclaimed at a press conference with Perry, "We will not allow atheist groups from outside of the state of Texas to come into the state, to use menacing and misleading intimidation tactics, to try to bully schools to bow down at the altar of secular beliefs."
Perry, who repeatedly referred during the press conference to Abbott as "General," also castigated FFRF and, by extension, its 700-plus Texas members. "The underlying problem here is that there's this very vocal, as you shared, and very litigious minority of Americans that are willing to legally attack anybody who dares to utter a phrase, a name that they don't agree with."
Perry went on to demonstrate that he apparently has never read the godless U.S. Constitution: "We're also a culture built upon the concept that the original law is God's law, outlined in the Ten Commandments."
FFRF's local counsel Randall Kallinen of Houston filed an amicus brief Oct. 3 on behalf of the school district. (FFRF's four staff attorneys worked doggedly to research and write the brief in less than a week.)
In its brief, FFRF takes issue with the plaintiffs' claim that the banners are an exercise of free speech: "The speech in question is government speech or, at a minimum, school-sponsored speech."
"If the majority of the cheerleaders were atheists, would a court support their 'right' to hold up a banner insulting Christianity or all believers? The District has every right to simply prohibit all run-through and on-field banners."
FFRF contends that the banners are government speech because they are displayed in a context implying school endorsement and because the school has effective control over the messages. "Cheerleading for the school is undeniably a school-sponsored activity, and the banners displayed by the cheerleaders take place during a school-sponsored event."
The New York Times quoted Charles Haynes, director at the Religious Freedom Education Project at the Newseum. "If the cheerleaders aren't representing the school, then who are they [representing]? It would be like saying that the football team doesn't represent the school, they are just individual students just coming on the field and are free to do what they want to do."
The school district could decide to appeal Thomas' ruling, but in what seems like a curious bit of collusion, the district had formally asked the court to hold "that the Establishment Clause should not be interpreted so as to require Defendants [the school] to bar the religious banners. . ."
While FFRF's complaint started the case, it's not a party to the suit. But if contacted by those with standing to sue, FFRF is prepared to challenge the continuing violation in federal court, where the case belongs.
"We encourage any student or parent with children in the public schools coming into contact with this religious practice at public school functions to contact FFRF," said Co-President Annie Laurie Gaylor. Plaintiffs with standing might also include school employees coming into regular contact with the banners at school sporting events.
FFRF has taken complaints about the practice spreading to other schools and has recently sent letters of complaint to to Newton, Texas; Bossier Parish, La.; Stone County Schools, Miss.; and Thackerville Schools, Okla. FFRF was notified that the Stone County Mississippi School District ordered cheerleaders to stop making religious banners.
"Since the state's top law enforcer, Attorney General Greg Abbott, and its highest executive officer, Gov. Rick Perry, have openly expressed contempt for atheists and the Establishment Clause, this leads to a climate of intolerance. It takes courage to face down the full apparatus of state government, but we need those brave few to contact FFRF," added Barker.
"Don't let collusion, politicking and religious fervor in Texas destroy respect for keeping public schools free of religious divisiveness," Barker added.
The New York Times ("Faith, Football and the First Amendment," Oct. 21) and Washington Post ("Bench the Bible," Oct. 24) editorialized in FFRF's favor.
FFRF sues school districts over Ten Commandments
The Freedom From Religion Foundation has filed two lawsuits that contest Ten Commandments monuments at Pennsylvania schools. One suit was filed Sept. 27 in U.S. District Court in Pittsburgh against the Connellsville Area School District for a marker at a junior high school.
FFRF, on behalf of two local "Doe" plaintiffs, seeks a declaration that the display is unconstitutional and should be removed. FFRF is also named as a plaintiff in both suits.
A similar federal suit was filed Sept. 14 against the New Kensington-Arnold School District for maintaining a Ten Commandments monument at Valley High School in New Kensington. FFRF first sent a letter of complaint in March about the illegal monument.
The Fraternal Order of Eagles donated the slabs to both schools in the mid 1950s. FFRF has nearly 700 Pennsylvania members. Pittsburgh-based attorney Marcus Schneider represents the plaintiffs in both suits.
Some nonmembers of FFRF were up in arms with dire predictions. At a "Save Our Stone" rally at Valley High, New Kensington resident Mike Hresko spoke to the "crowd" of 50, according to the Valley News Dispatch. "We don't want it removed. This is part of our community. . . . They'll lock up the churches and we'll be just like a communist country."
At a similar event in Connellsville, a woman told WTAE-4 that the monuments contain "God's principles" and should stay. "I believe that God should be in school with our children."
The legal complaints state that the continued presence of the Ten Commandments on school property unconstitutionally advances and endorses religion. The complaints also note that [each] display "lacks any secular purpose," citing Stone v. Graham, a 1980 Supreme Court decision which ruled the Commandments may not be posted in public school classrooms, because "The pre-eminent purpose" for doing so "is plainly religious in nature."
Plaintiffs in the suit against the New Kensington-Arnold School District are FFRF member Marie Schaub, who has a child, Doe 1, in the school district who regularly encounters the bible edict, and Doe 2, a student at Valley High School, along with Doe 3, parent and guardian of Doe 2.
The Valley News Dispatch reported that Schaub came to a pro-Commandments rally. "I just wanted to hear what they are saying. I find it amazing that people gather in support of breaking the law."
Doe 5 is an atheist member of FFRF who views the Connellsville monument as usurpation of parental rights and who does "not subscribe to the religious statements that are inscribed on the monument." Her child, Doe 4, attends the junior high and comes in regular contact with the prominent monument, which is in view of students boarding or exiting school buses and participating in outdoor gym classes.
The complaint notes, "FFRF and Doe 5 contend that a public school district has no right to instruct its captive audience of impressionable students on which god to have, how many gods to have, or whether to have any gods at all."
The tombstone-like New Kensington monument, about 6 feet tall, is directly in front of the main school entrance, near two footbridges that students, staff and visitors use to enter the building.
School Board President Robert Pallone wrote in March on a Facebook page called "KEEP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS AT VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL," that the district would not "remove this monument without a fight !!!!!"
The Eagles' Commandments campaign started when a devout judge and Eagles member, E.J. Ruegemer — who wanted to promote religion and Minnesota granite — teamed up with film director Cecil B. DeMille, who was advertising his 1956 epic "The Ten Commandments."
In 2002, FFRF successfully removed one of the first such monuments placed on public property in the city of Milwaukee. Actor Yul Brenner, who played Rameses II in the movie, had attended the dedication.
FFRF seeks permanent injunctions directing the districts to remove the monuments from district property, reasonable costs and attorneys' fees and nominal damages to plaintiffs. Staff Attorney Patrick Elliott helped draft both complaints.

FFRF warns politicos against 'God fixation'
The Republican National Convention was greeted by Uncle Sam in Tampa, Fla.
A so-called "act of god" (Hurricane Ivan) didn't stop the Freedom From Religion Foundation's message from being posted the Thursday before the Republican National Convention began in Tampa.
FFRF's patriotic red-white-and-blue message, depicting a finger-wagging Uncle Sam cautioning that "God fixation won't fix this nation," was placed on Kennedy Boulevard.
FFRF's election-year caveat was drawn by editorial cartoonist Steve Benson, the grandson of Ezra Taft Benson, the secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture under President Dwight Eisenhower who later became president of the Mormon Church. Steve Benson left the Mormon Church in the early 1990s.
"Our equal-opportunity message to both political parties and all public officials is: Get off your knees and get to work!" said FFRF Co-President Dan Barker.
FFRF placed the same admonition on two billboards in Charlotte in time for the Democratic National Convention the following week. It included a hard-to-miss, 14x48-foot version near downtown Charlotte, at 1720 Freedom Drive, and on a highly visible, 10x30-foot billboard on Interstate 77.
"The preoccupation with religion by our nation and our public officials is holding back the USA scientifically, intellectually and morally," added Annie Laurie Gaylor, who co-directs FFRF.
FFRF's tradition of placing billboards at the national party conventions began in 2008. (Note: All FFRF-placed billboards are clearly identified with FFRF's full name and website.)

The July 3 article "The women: Their stories" is surely an inspirational one.
A while back this year, I had stopped at a gas station that collected generous donations for the fight against breast cancer. I was thrilled to see such movement. It made me proud that I saw the movement against cancer and I had the privilege to contribute myself.
There are people out there who don't have the funds to kick cancer away or even if they have it isn't enough. This is where everyone's generosity fills the gap.
I look forward to seeing all gas stations and markets collect donations in the fight against cancer. I urge Fort Wayne residents and all others from other states to stand up and fight against cancer.

Welcome back to 31 Days to Building a Cleaning Routine!
Day 9: Homemade Stain Remover
I'm continuing to add cleaning recipes and tips to my 31 day pinterest board almost daily. Here is a glimpse at the recent pins:
Throughout the rest of this 31 Day series I will be trying out some of the cleaners I'm pinning. That way, I can share my experiences with you and you can select only the best ones to try for yourself!
Since I was doing laundry anyway, I decided to try the homemade stain remover from One Good Thing. I love that the ingredients are items you would have around the house anyway:
– one part Dawn dishwashing liquid
– two parts Hydrogen Peroxide
– sprinkle on baking soda
My armpit stains were not too bad to begin with. Here is the worst of it:
I didn't see any significant change in the white shirts. I will still be looking for a better recipe – does anyone have suggestions!!
Don't forget to link up your projects at the Take it on Tuesday blog hop!!

Evans leads ETSU after round one of Mercedes-Benz Women's Collegiate Championships
Requires Adobe Flash
Saturday, October 09, 2010
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (Oct. 8, 2010)
- Freshman
Sian Evans
(Gillingham, England) fired an ETSU best 1-under 71 Friday afternoon, and is currently tied for eighth after round one of the Mercedes-Benz Women's Collegiate Championships, located at Holston Hills Country Club in Knoxville.
Evans, who is four shots off the lead, notched three birdies on the day - including one on the 462-yard, par-5 No. 17 to enter the clubhouse under par. The 71 shot by Evans marks her best round as a Buccaneer, and the Gillingham, England native trails Tennessee's Erica Popson after she carded the lowest round of the afternoon at 5-under 67.
Meanwhile, fellow ETSU teammate
Nina Muehl
(Vienna, Austria) is tied for 33rd after recording a 3-over 75.
As a team, the Bucs are tied for tenth after tallying a first-round score of 304, putting ETSU 24 shots behind in-state rival and host Tennessee. The Lady Vols finished the day with a team-leading 8-under 280 on the par-72, 6,302-yard course.
Second round play will get underway Saturday morning at 9 a.m.
Stay tuned to ETSUBucs.com for updated results and a full recap of second round action.

LOS ANGELES — Upon watching Sunday's 55th Annual Grammy Awards broadcast, roughly 39 million viewers will get the same message: Greetings from Nashville.
"It's Nashville's year," said country mainstay Dierks Bentley, who will join friend and tour-mate Miranda Lambert for a mash-up performance that combines his "Home" and her "Over You."
Bentley's prediction isn't based on voting tabulation — he's lost in each of his own 11 nominations, and has learned enough not to sweat the 12th this evening — but on major performances during the three-hour show.
The Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce could not have constructed a more Music City-friendly lineup. Cross-genre superstar Taylor Swift will open an evening of music that also finds Nash-affiliated artists including Bentley, Lambert, Jack White, The Black Keys, Zac Brown, Brittany Howard of Alabama Shakes, Hunter Hayes and Kelly Clarkson manning the big stage.
Each of those performers except Bentley, Lambert and Brown are nominated for trophies in at least one of the show's four biggest categories — album, record, song and best new artist — and The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach is tied for most overall nominations, with six.

I have a 252 that is New. Maybe burned 3 rolls of wire on it. Was welding with it Saturday and it got to welding like I didn't have enough wire speed. Going to call Miller tomorrow because it's under warranty, like i said it's only a few months old. Any body have any idea what could be wrong?

Gotta side with Elvis here, you need to go thru the troubleshoot process before you go through the hassle of warranty work, check your wire tension, make sure your rollers and tips match the size wire you are using, clear your liner and make sure your settings didn't change, change in voltage could cause your problem

Sometimes the wire does not come off the spool even. It could be bird nested somewhat.
Or it gets wedged between spool and the rest of the wire.
It just comes off the spool hard.

I also have a new Millermatic 252. I experienced some poor feeding and bird caging when I first got it set up. I checked the manual and discovered that the rollers were a bit out of alignment. The upper one was out too far. I corrected that and the problem went away.
If the Original Poster had not already used three rolls of wire, I would suggest that the problem might be roller alignment but with that amount of prior use without issues, it is probably something else.
One other issue that I had was corrected as well. The liner was too long on the inside and was nearly touching the rollers. I shortened it to 3/32" as shown for one of the guns in the book. I couldn't find the M-25 like I have but it showed to make it 3/32" for the ones shown. I don't think that would affect feeding unless it was touching the rollers when they are closed.
I run my 252 with straight CO2 and .030 Er70S-6 WeldCote wire and I'm just delighted with the welds that it makes. Although I had to bite my lip to spend that much money even with free shipping, I'm glad I did. I've found a new friend.
Edit: I see that the O.P. mentions that the machine is running slow. Does it speed up when the wire speed control is rotated? If not, there is something definitely wrong inside of the unit.
O.P. Please let us know what you discover on your feeding problem.Miller Syncrowave 200

"Sometimes the wire does not come off the spool even. It could be bird nested somewhat.

This is a sign of a spool that has been shipped by UPS or similar means.The box gets dropped on its side and the layers of wire slide around causing it to tangle when on the machine.Sometimes it can be solved by unspooling some wire and sometimes the spool needs replaced.Wire shipped in pallet quantity is much less likely to suffer this fate.

Miller matic 252 wire feed issues.
Wire is sold as either wound or "precision wound" (or some other such descriptive phrase). I always order the precision version at little or no more cost.
I realize this may be hype but it occurs with reputable retailers and brands and I have had no problems using it.

DeKalb County, IN-The Indiana State Police is investigating a single vehicle crash that occurred earlier this morning in southeastern DeKalb County that claimed the life of a 27-year-old rural Auburn man.
According to Senior Trooper Steve Malone, this morning at approximately 9:15 am, a DeKalb County Sheriff Deputy was at a residence in the 5300 block of County Road 51 responding to a call for service. The Deputy had made personal contact with 27-year-old Casey Allen May through a window before May went into the garage, got into a Jeep and drove through the closed garage door. As a result, the Jeep collided with the Deputy's police car before speeding off southbound on County Road 51.
A second DeKalb County Deputy arrived just as the Jeep was heading south and with his emergency lights and siren activated, attempted to catch up to the Jeep. The Jeep left the west side of the roadway, between County Roads 56 and 60, approximately one mile south of the original residence, struck a tree head-on and caught fire. May, who was alone at the time, was pronounced dead at the scene by Jeff Warner, the DeKalb County Coroner.
An autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday, November 13th, and May's family has been notified by Warner. Assisting at the scene were the DeKalb County Sheriff Department, the DeKalb County Coroner, the Spencerville Fire Department and the Concord Township Fire Department.
