Skip to comments.WEEK 13 - Olney, MD., 03-25-06: Operation Infinite FReep, PICTURE HEAVY FROM A FREEPERS' VIEW
Posted on 03/28/2006 7:16:23 PM PST by trooprally
iMacMan did his wonders with his camera today by taking pictures of the passing cars from the FReepers point of view.
BELOW: The highlight of this is the car of young supporters who circled around 2 times to cheer us on.

The moonbats had eleven for about a half hour, then 3 of them left. Ten minutes later another left. At 4:30 all but two left. Waveman and a lone moonbat on the southeast corner stayed til almost 5 PM.

The teens from last week did not return. We had hoped they would. We did get the word to several drivers about our Saturday rally. They stopped for the red light, rolled down their windows and thanked us. That's when we told them about the FReep. We'll see if any of them come out.
Two cars flipped us the one finger salute and several shook their heads in disdain. But the honks from cars and waves from the Metro bus drivers always warm the heart. One bus passenger also waved to us.
The below pics are all by iMacMan from a FReeper's VIEW. Like them nice shiney cars? I personally like the waves and thumbs up. iMacMan spotted several that he would like to have.
BELOW: A TwoFer
BELOW: Another TwoFer
BELOW: Same car as above but now passenger has two thumbs up!!
BELOW: Call the company on the van - Tell them you saw them on FR and ask about a discount - Tell them Trooprally sent you. See how fast they hang up.
The red banner held up to the brisk breeze today. It bent, it flipped around, but the twine tie downs held. But the weather was warm enough that the breeze did not create a severe wind chill. Just hard to light my cigars.

Next Saturday, same place, Georgia Avenue, MD Rte. 97 and MD Rte. 108 in Olney, MD
Same time, 3 PM to 4:30 PM
Great pics. Thanks to all of you for your activism.
Thanks for all your hard work getting the AAR posted. Great pics by iMacMan! All honks warm the heart....
Call the company on the van - Tell them you saw them on FR and ask about a discount - Tell them Trooprally sent you. See how fast they hang up.
LOL!!! Yer funny Mr. T. ;*)
That's gonna give me nightmares.
I'm actually finding some short cuts to help. The one for this AAR concerning transferring pictures probably saved an hour.
iMacMan had to hold a sign in one hand while his other hand held the camera always at the ready. Towards the end of the FReep, [Mrs] T gave him a smaller sign because he was getting sore holding the larger sign. iMacMan took 150 pics that day just to get the ones that were posted.
Great report! And great pics too! Where'd all those floating green arrows come from? Can you pick those up at Walmart?
Great pics. In a couple of the pics, there is a moonbat holding up a sign that reads "2323." What is that suppose to mean?
Thank you for the answer. They sure are a sick bunch!
Olney Report ping.
That would scare little children.
Good job!
Great FReep, Great shots!
And I LOVE the "HillBilly" pic!
Damn. I must be a girly man, cuz all those pics of the cars with all the thumbs up and waves got me all misty. Great job.
Anyway, there were actually 208 pictures altogether! ALL were either honkers or wavers or yellers. It was just that most had their windows rolled up and the glare was just too harsh to see anything inside the cars. Ill try this again sometime between cold winter and hot summer when the windows are more likely to be down.
Yes, BufordP, the arrows came from Walmart -- I have some red ones too!
I hope the following doesnt constitute hijacking but it has to do with the 2323 sign.
I ran across a table of military deaths (with causes) for the years 1980 2004 on FR last week. Some of it may surprise you -- it did me.
Here's a link to the table's .pdf file:
Here's who was President in the years listed
Carter - 1980 (the last year of his term)
Reagan - 1981 - 1988
George HW Bush - 1989 - 1992
Clinton - 1993 - 2000
George W Bush - 2001 - 2004
I converted the .pdf to a spreadsheet and analyzed it to derive the following:
The average number of deaths per year for that 25-year period is 1540. The average per year for GW Bush is 1297. What's more the fraction of these deaths that are ACCIDENTAL averaged over 50%! (56% to be precise) The average total military over these years was around 2,000,000 with an average death rate of 0.079% (deaths/man).
Here're the yearly averages for the total deaths and each sub-category over each President's years covered in the table listed in order of decreasing total deaths (needs to be in a fixed spacing font to line up properly):
............total...acc...host....hom....ill....pend.....self.infl.....terrorist...undet. Carter......2392...1556....174....419....231.......1.........11 Reagan......2150...1332.....64....249....327.....128.........58...........20 GHW Bush....1556....872.....88....175....268.....121.........33 GW Bush.....1297....527....276.....45....215......47........156...........26..........21 Clinton......938....494.....47....160....153......71.........12...........14A couple of observations:
Ranking them by accidental deaths would give the same result. GW Bush's average death rate of 276 due to hostile action is the highest, followed by Carter at 174 (just for the one year covered). Death by homicide for GW Bush is BY FAR the lowest of all of them. But the self-inflicted rate is by far the highest for him. I would like to know more about both of these numbers.
It'd also be interesting to know the accidental and illness death rates for similar-age civilian folks.
That's the number of soldiers killed in Iraq from ALL reasons. They bloated the figure to include ALL so that they can get to their magically numbers to through a big protest.
I believe that the actual killed in combat if 1800 - 1900. Someone may have the true number.
[Mr] T
You should send those statistics to Hannity. Might be something he'd be interested in and sure to tout on his shows.
my favorite klintoonism is:
" i never had sex with that woman, HITLERY RODHAM CLINTON. NOT a single time". signed, wee willie klintoon.

Such a maroooney! Don't you know anything!!
The pics did turn out great. Thank you iMacMan and [Mrs] T for making the thread look so good.
[Mr] T
[Mr] T
LOL - Thanks - one for the memory books!
[Mr] T
If your out there, Olney could use you this weekend.
[Mr] T
great job!
free dixie,sw
Great post. Keep up the good work.
Love your post also.
This banner and the blue one at Walter Reed were made by a regular FReeper at WR. She 'donated' this one Olney but it is also used at WR. She's very modest and doesn't want credit given to her anymore. She says that the are now the property of the D.C. Chapter. (Its was Albion Wilde)
[Mr] T
Will we see you this week? Bmwcyle and I hope to be there, I'm negotiating now.
Not sure if you've been monitoring things, but the trooprally's will be out of town and Cindy (formerly Lurker Joan) who is also a local from Olney has been in Texas with her son. He was hit by a drunk driver and critically injured over Spring Break. The only one to be there for sure is Lurker Bill, so extra bodies are needed. A couple of weeks ago, some "teenagers" as Mr. T put it, showed up and said they would be back, but were a no-show last week. Hope to see you!
Terrific AAR and great photos! I think you got the proportion of thumbs-up to vee-signs about right -- looks like what we see at Walter Reed! Go, team!
D**n, Trooprally, someone ought to enlarge the sleeves on the ends of that sign so some sturdier poles can be used!
That would be all the moonbats who threatened to leave the country if he were elected. Some of them didn't have the money to travel to Canada, apparently.
Stop that.
Oh, I thought the poles were suppose to look that way!
Adds character ;o)
Yes, I am aware of the situation and trying to work it out. Hope to see you all Sat.
Am I understanding this correctly? Military deaths are actually lower under George W. Bush during wartime than they have been under all these other presidents, including during peacetime???!!!!
I dont want to mislead anyone. In the document I referenced, only one year of Carter is covered (his last), whereas 8 years each for Reagan and Clinton, and four years each for the two Bushes are covered. Note that 2005 was NOT included. The numbers I posted were the yearly averages for each President just for the data in the document.
The result was that Clintons average for the total number of deaths was the lowest, while George W Bushs was the next lowest (this number would go up if 2005 were included, but his ranking by average total deaths probably wouldnt change). Carters last year was the highest.
Also, note in my previous post that George W. Bushs average deaths due to hostile action is the highest.
CJ posted some more data of this type on his milblog:
This is the average number of combat deaths for each major war in the past hundred years or so (his post includes the total number of months and deaths plus some marvelous perspectives). Draw your own conclusions
War Av. Deaths Per month WWI 2816 WWII 6639 Korea 909 Vietnam 526 Gulf War I 148 Iraq 55

The deadline for prospective candidates for city office to get their names on the ballot for August and November elections is 4 p.m. May 14. So far, here's who has filed:
Isler, a city police sergeant, has joined the race to win the city's first mayoral election since Richard Root died last summer. Current Mayor Richard Clanton, who was appointed Root's successor last year, does not plan to seek election.
The other candidates are City Commissioner Sharon Brinks and corrections officer William Gray.
Also in Kentwood, Dan Kasunic will be on the ballot for re-election as city clerk, and recently-appointed City Commissioner Betsy Artz is seeking a 4-year, at-large commission term. City treasurer and both First Ward and Second Ward commission posts also are up for election; no candidates have filed for those seats, yet.

Grand Rapids
After being passed over for a City Commission comptroller appointment earlier this month, Andrew Morse announced he would try to win the job at the polls. But he sent Grand Rapids officials an e-mail Wednesday, April 24, stating that he no longer plans to run because he has "been given the opportunity to fill an accounting leadership position for a different governmental agency."
Nobody has filed as a candidate for the upcoming comptroller election, though the appointed comptroller, Sara VanderWerff, has said she will run for the job.
Also in Grand Rapids, former Grand Rapids school board President Senita Lenear is the first to file as a candidate for one of three City Commission seats up for election. Three 6-year terms on the city's Board of Library Commissioners also will be on the ballot.
RELATED: Rejected comptroller applicant vows to campaign for Grand Rapids job
Incumbent Mayor Jack Poll is running for re-election and so far is the only candidate. Three City Council seats also will be on the ballot including two at-large seats open to the whole city and one First Ward seat. Incumbent Mayor Pro-tem Sam Bolt, who lost a County Commission bid last year, and sitting First Ward Councilman Bill VerHulst have filed as candidates.
City Commissioner Mark Huizenga will be on the ballot for a 4-year term as mayor. Barb Holt was appointed to the job after former Mayor Rob Verheulen won a state House bid over Grandville councilman Steve Maas, and she plans to run for election. Incumbent commissioners Al Parent and Gary Carey, Jr. are the lone filings so far for available commission seats.
No candidates have filed yet to succeed retiring Mayor James Buck, who has done the job since 1984. Three 4-year City Council terms also will be on the ballot, with two candidates filed so far: incumbent Dick Richards, Jr. and former school board member Steve Zinger, who lost a council bid in 2011.

For Jeff Geisert of Genesee Township, the thrill of working with Hollywood didn't end when "Semi-Pro" stopped filming in Flint.
A 1937 Buick Special that had belonged to his great-uncle is now part of the Johnny Depp movie "Public Enemies" being filmed in Chicago. Contacts Geisert made during "Semi-Pro" filming made it happen.
Geisert, owner of Economy Print & Graphics in downtown Flint, was recruited by crew members to help design signs for downtown storefronts while "Semi-Pro" was being filmed.
"They just walked in and asked if I could help them out," he said.
Read The Journal's Semi-Pro blog
He created banners, posters, signs and even recreated newspaper racks that reflected the headlines and prices of the '70s, in which the film is set. He also became friends with some of the crew members.
"One of the guys asked me if I do anything else, and I told him I was working on a car show," Geisert said. "He asked if I could help him round up some cars, anything 1968 to 1973, for the movie."
Geisert is a member of the board of the Back to the Bricks car show that takes place each August in downtown Flint. He also helps coordinate other car shows.
"I'm just a businessman trying to bring people to downtown," Geisert said.
It took about three days, but he managed to round up nearly 400 cars to take part in a tailgate party scene filmed at the state fairgrounds in Detroit.
Not surprisingly, Michigan weather intervened, the schedule kept changing, and eventually about 150 of the cars Geisert had asked for showed up for the shoot. But, as a bonus, the drivers of the cars that Geisert had invited also got parts as extras.
That was when Geisert struck up a friendship with Blaine Currier, who handles vintage cars for Universal Studios.
Geisert told Currier that he had a 1937 Buick Special that had belonged to his great-uncle in the barn at his house.
"I said, 'Why don't you take it to California and put it in some movie,'" Geisert said.
The car had been sitting unused for decades. It had been passed down through the family, including three of Geisert's four brothers.
"By the time I was old enough to drive, it wasn't running. But I kept it," he said. "I've been toting it around for 30 years with the intention of someday getting it finished."
Someday arrived a few weeks ago when Currier called Geisert and asked if he would send some pictures of the Buick in the barn.
"I sent him about six of them, and he said, 'Yup, that's what I need, send it to me,'" Geisert said.
After receiving the digital image, Currier asked Geisert if he thought he could get the car to Chicago quickly.
"He called on a Wednesday, on Friday my neighbor loaded it up on a trailer, and by 1 p.m. Saturday we had it in Chicago," Geisert said. Currier wanted the car for "Public Enemies."
Geisert has monitored the car's progress by e-mails and phone calls with Currier.
"He asked me if I wanted the car restored original or did I want to drive it home. I said, 'I want to drive it home,'" Geisert said.
"I dropped off the car, and he said by the end of the day there would be no rust on the car," Geisert said. "On Tuesday they sent me a picture, and it was nothing but shiny steel."
The car is being slightly adapted -- turn signals removed, headlights moved and the grill changed -- to look like a 1935 Buick.
The interior was gutted, the door panels, seats, floorboards, everything was replaced.
Geisert called Currier to tell him he had found the original cigarette lighter and sent it with the car. But the car was being made to look new, so the old cigarette lighter, along with the other original parts, are being crated and will be returned to Geisert with the car when filming finishes sometime early this summer.
Geisert said his whole family is having fun with the story.
"My brothers can't believe it," he said. "But I have to tell you, I feel like I hit the lottery."

Over the past few weeks, members of our staff have gently hinted that it would be a very fine thing if we were to write an article about Men's Night in downtown Traverse City this Thursday, Dec. 18. And in hopes of being a kind and considerate soul, I've spent some time wrestling with the topic, even though most (okay, all) of the men I know wouldnt give a flying figgy pudding for such a story.
You see, the problem with men is that very few of us like to shop -- the whole business is anathema to us (a fancy word for "hate it"). Have you seen the new magazine, Lucky, about the "glory of shopping"? It's got about 400 pages of ads and articles on shopping, every page of which is devoted to women with nary a male face within.
That's because the editors of Lucky know that a great many women are hard-wired to shop, like birds have feathers for flying, whereas men are more comfortable lying on the couch watching TV sports or Seinfeld reruns.
But men do shop when necessary, especially if it's for some cool gadget, like a bass-finder with an Army knife attachment and Global Positioning Satellite locator -- we like shopping for stuff like that. And like soldiers leaping onto live grenades to save the lives of their buddies, we heroically go Christmas shopping for our women and our families.
On Men's Night, from 6-9 p.m., there will be such enticements as store specials for men, refreshments, drawings and free gift wrappings.
If these goodies dont do the trick, let me conjure some images that might actually blast a few men off the couch and into the holiday shopping stream:
Single men -- it's possible that you'll meet the woman of your dreams while shopping on Men's Night because single females know that the streets will be packed with nice guys out shopping. Guys in need of girlfriends. Not likely, but possible. So dress up a bit and send a finder's fee this way if you get lucky.
Married men -- this is your chance for a night out with the boys. After the shopping stuff is taken care of, you can gather with friends at a downtown watering hole to watch sports on the big screen TVs and brag about who got the best gift wrapping.
Come to think of it, these are good excuses for men to get out shopping in other towns this Thursday, be they Petoskey, Mackinaw City, Gaylord, Suttons Bay, Cadillac, Manistee or what-have-you. Tell the old lady you're going to Men's Night downtown and you plan to shop 'til you drop. She'll think you're a hero.
See you there.
Whither the wind?
The always insightful Bob VanderLewn of Manistee poses a good question on our Letters page this week: Whats going to happen to Traverse City when all the smog from Manistees proposed coal burning plant and its 400-foot-tall smokestack blows this way?
A plant producing 450 tons of ash each day, free of scrubbers, will surely have an impact on communities downwind. In TC, the wind most always blows from Manistee. So...
Start choking. This is an issue our city and county commissions need to examine. And our legislators too.
Put Nixon on the Nickel
There's been some talk lately about kicking Franklin D. Roosevelt off the dime and replacing him with Ronald Reagan under the rationale that FDR is just a tired old liberal.
In truth, it's hard to measure up to Ronald Reagan. All Roosevelt did was save America from the Great Depression and the world from fascist maniacs during World War II.
By contrast, Reagan had these accomplishments:
He invaded the small island of Grenada to divert Americans' attention from the fact that several hundred U.S. Marines were killed in a car bomb attack in his misguided mission to Lebanon. Killing some Cuban construction workers made Americans feel good about themselves again.
He traded arms for hostages in Iran and then gave the money to the ousted Noriega regime in Nicaragua against the law laid down by Congress. Again, it made us Americans feel good about ourselves.
He outspent the Russians on military hardware, causing them to say "uncle" on the Cold War. Give him credit there.
But wouldn't it be better to have Richard Nixon on the nickel than Reagan on the dime? No offense, but saving the WHOLE WORLD and AMERICA too should give Roosevelt dibs on the dime for at least another 100 years.
And, though he has been vilified, Nixon did more good things than Reagan.
Nixon gave us "Earth Day" and a raft of environmental legislation and agencies that got America's rivers and skies on the clean-up path.
Nixon was the first president to visit communist China, putting us on the path of peace and trade.
Nixon launched nuclear arms control talks with the Soviet Union that eased us back from the brink of global annihilation.
And he had a "secret plan" to end the war in Vietnam, which only took him seven years to wrap up... maybe that one wasn't so good.
So, Nixon on the nickel, FDR keeps the dime, and give Reagan a new coin all his own just to keep "his" people feeling good about themselves. Some would argue for the two-cent piece, but it would be kinder to come up with a new 12-and-a-half-cent coin for the Gipper, making two bits for a quarter. After all, the guy did take a bullet -- that should be worth something.

I read the editorial in Sunday's Patriot-News about discrimination against gays in the workplace ("Pennsylvania law allows arbitrary firing for irrelevant reasons"). I'm a thirty-year-old gay male, proud of who I am. But I was fired from a job and come to find out, it was for being gay. I felt like crap because I couldn't do anything about it. Now I'm hoping that we will get the same rights as our straight counterparts.
I'm glad that the U.S. Supreme Court came down on the Defense of Marriage Act. I hope someday that we will be allowed to get married in Pennsylvania and have the same rights as everyone else.

Of the 88,000 or so residents of Hamilton Township, there may be just one who isn't rooting for either Hamilton or Steinert in Friday's NJSIAA Central Jersey Group III baseball final, and she won't be hard to find.
Hamilton Mayor Kelly Yaede will be at Hamilton High at 4 p.m. Friday afternoon. But, the good politician that she is, the mayor won't be decked out in green and white or orange and black.
"I'll just be rooting for a great game," Yaede, a Nottingham grad, said Wednesday. "And it's going to be a great game. It's going to be so great for our community. To have two of our schools playing for a sectional championship like this is outstanding."
Hamilton and Steinert have been rivals in all sports for years.
While they meet often during the regular season, it's rare for the two to battle for state supremacy. The last time it happened was 1996.
Steinert, more years than not, has been a Group IV school, while Hamilton has been primarily a Group III school. This past year, despite an enrollment still over 1,000 students in grades 10 through 12, Steinert, dropped to Group III.
Placed on opposite sides of the NJSIAA bracket, both teams had to win three games to get to tomorrow's championship. And they did just that.
Hamilton rolled over Princeton, won in extra innings against Jackson, and then came from behind to upset Wall.
Steinert must have thought it was playing in the Mercer County Tournament instead of the states, as it beat Ewing, Allentown and Hopewell on the way to the cross-township showdown.
"Baseball has always been Hamilton's sport," Yaede said. "I would say we're one of the top five communities in the state in baseball. You go back to our Little League teams, our Babe Ruth teams, right up to the high school level."
There's no doubt Yaede is a sports fan, taking cues from her father, Fred. But, again a true politician, she's split on her professional loyalty.
Hamilton has always been a dividing line between Philadelphia and New York teams. Most residents are either Phillies/Eagles/Flyers/Sixers fans, or some combination of Giants/Jets, Yankees/Mets, Knicks/Nets and Rangers/Devils fans.
Not the mayor.
"In baseball I'm a Phillies fan," she said. "But in football I'm a Giants fan."
Go figure.
"I can't watch football with my dad," she said. "He's a die-hard Eagles fan."
She'll be watching baseball with an expected overflow crowd of thousands Friday at the Hornets' field.
"These are two schools with over 1,000 wins each," Yaede said. "That alone represents the caliber of talent we have here in Hamilton and the commitment of the schools in both athletics and academics. To have two schools playing for a championship on this level speaks volumes to the commitment of the community as well.
"There's certainly a rivalry between the two schools, and I think that's going to bring out the best in both teams. And I believe the winner will get the support of the entire township as they move on, because that's how we are here."
And even the mayor will be able to root at that point.

- On a fourth-down play in the second quarter, soph. DB Trent Matthews intercepted a Brett Smith pass. It was Matthews' third pick of the season and fourth of his career. Three interceptions on the season is tied for the most by a Ram since 2009 when Nick Oppenneer and Elijah Blu-Smith both intercepted three passes. Additionally, Ben Stratton in 2003 picked off four passes.
- JR Austin Gray, converted to wide receiver after spending his first two collegiate seasons at safety, pulled in his first career reception, a 22-yard TD in the third quarter.
- SR LB Shaquil Barrett, a candidate for the Bronko Nagurski Award, recorded his third career interception. Barrett now has one interception each season since transferring to Colorado State in 2010.
- On the ensuing drive, Alexander made a spectacular one-handed grab for a 34-yard touchdown. It was Alexander's first receiving touchdown of his career and tied his career high with two total touchdowns in a game.
- Colorado State had four scoring drives that lasted less than one minute. Just before the end of the first half the Rams marched down the field in 52 seconds and Lou Groza Award candidate Jared Roberts hit a 45-yard field goal. On the Rams' opening drive of the second half they scored in just 32 seconds. Early in the fourth quarter, Kapri Bibbs rushed for a 59-yard touchdown in nine seconds, the Rams' quickest scoring drive of the year. Finally, the Rams scored their final touchdown after a 34-second drive.
- The Cowboys entered Saturday averaging 518.8 of total offensive yards per game. The Rams defense limited Wyoming to 416 yards (165 – rushing, 251 – passing).
- Wyoming came into the game averaging 37.7 points per game, the third-highest average in the Mountain West. Colorado State's defense held the Cowboys to only 7 points in the first half, the Cowboys' lowest first half total of the season and 22 in the game.
- Today's captains were LB Ken Hulbert, WR Charles Lovett, TE Joe McKay and LB Steven Michel.
- Defensively the Rams had two first-time starters. Tyree Simmons, a freshman defensive back from Gardena, Calif., and DL Terry Jackson a junior college transfer from Coffeyville Community College.
- Registering his first collegiate action was redshirt-freshmen DL Johnny Schupp, OL Fred Zerblis, and OL Sam Carlson. QB Conner Smith played for the first time this season.
- LB Deonte Clyburn, a freshman linebacker who registered his first career start at home vs. UTEP, returned after injuring his knee vs. UTEP and missing the next two games.

Marion County sheriff's deputies detained a man seen near Gervais Sunday morning to check whether he has any connection to the shooting of a woman Saturday in Eugene, officials said.
Officers from numerous agencies had searched in and around Gervais overnight after a vehicle spotted leaving I-5 in that area was identified as possibly connected to the Eugene incident. But the search was called off Sunday morning about 8 a.m. after nothing suspicious was located.
But just after Marion County sheriff's deputies left the search area Sunday morning, they saw the man they had been seeking near Keene Road south of Gervais. They detained him but have not arrested him or determined if he is linked in any way to the Eugene shooting, said Jeff Stutrud, a sergeant for the sheriff's department.
People in the Gervais area no longer need to lock their doors or fear that a dangerous suspect may be in their midst, Stutrud said.
The woman shot in Eugene Sunday knew her assailant, Eugene officials said. She was able to drive herself to the hospital and was in stable condition, according to the Eugene Register Guard.

Re: The Topic I never Wanted To Post
[quote=Anonymous User;202510]
Infact the only way I can make Aikido work for me at all anymore is by adding Atemi. :-( The lost of confidence in my abilities has gotten so bad now that even when doing my technique with others I have to add atemi. It is like a crutch I have to use. I know my teacher has taught atemi many times, but I know alot of the time we havent used it as well. WHY CAN'T I GET IT WITHOUT ATEMI!
I also want to add that I try real hard to obsorbe it, and practise all the time. I focus on every detail, sometimes too hard to the point I lose it.. And I will be honest I am A.D.D, so it is sometimes hard. Honestly I don't know if this is why other people have it by now and I do not. But I honestly feel I am missing everything. I am frustrated and after 8 years I am ready to move to something else.
The reason why the Atemi works is because it disturb uke's balance. But you should still be able to disturb Uke's balance with Tai-sabaki, so concentrate on taking uke's balance with body movement. Specifically with Ni-kyo there is always a chance you will struggle if you are doing it standing directly in front of uke. So try to do it by positioning yourself more off to uke's side. The arms greatest sphere of strength is directly in front of the human body, moving or extending the arm off to the side weakens this strength making the Ni-kyo easier to apply.
Struggling with people who resist or who are stiff/awkward is a common problem. So you also need to learn how to respond to how uke is reacting. Rather than force the technique on you should switch into something else that is more appropriate for example irimi-nage is a natural follow-on when uke locks up or spins out of shihon-nage. Some of the techniques of aikido flow naturally into others, Ikkyo into Ni-kyo into Sankyo, and you should be reaching the stage now where by the odd other technique slips into the practise (i.e sensei wants you to do technique A but you end up doing technique B instead) these often are the most nicest ones from uke's point of view. I would suggest that you actively ask you seniors to offer some resistance (and give some in return) so that you can explore/learn what to do in these situations.
Above all remember that aikido is full of plateau's where everything you do, seems to be getting worse. In reality you are just consolidating your knowledge and getting ready for the climb to the next level.

SPRINGFIELD — Springfield's governing body voted this week to dissolve the township's board of health following a contentions, weeks-long
Under the changes, the previous health board — populated by appointed
residents — is being replaced by a committee of all five members of the township's governing body, along with two locals with "expertise in public health." There will also be two alternate members.
The change, first proposed in a surprise move in May, angered
board of health members, especially president Samir Shah. He claimed the proposal
was political, and that Mayor Ziad Andrew Shehady, a Republican, didn't like
comments board of health members had made on several topics.
The mayor, however, said the changes were asked for by other
committee members and that they had nothing to do with politics. The change, he
said, provides "greater and much-needed oversight of public health matters."

Please don't mistake "The Mist," which is based on a Stephen King novella, for the awful remake of "The Fog," which was based on a Jamie Lee Curtis movie. At the same time, don't mistake "The Mist" for a truly effective horror film: Director Frank Darabont and his cast do everything they can to create a suitably chilly atmosphere, but the final result is somewhat of a misty mishmash.
Darabont previously directed "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Green Mile," two of the better screen adaptations of King's work. Neither of those tales were particularly scary, but "The Mist" is designed as an all-out creep show. While Darabont is intermittently successful in building some tension, his efforts are thwarted by a drawn-out screenplay full of unimaginative personalities.
The movie packs an assortment of men, women and children into The Food House, a grocery store in the coastal Maine community of Castle Rock. A dense mist envelopes the town and seems to be concealing some hungry, otherworldly creatures who see The Food House as their private pantry. Those who dare to step outside are dragged off into oblivion.
At first, Darabont aims for you-are-there realism, using hand-held cameras to catch the scared looks of artist David (Thomas Jane), attorney Brent (Andre Braugher), schoolteacher Amanda (Laurie Holden) and local religious zealot Mrs. Carmody (Marcia Gay Harden). By the halfway mark, "The Mist" has switched gears to become a black comedy with occasional bursts of violence.
But the gross-out moments and sick jokes finally give way to murky moralizing about the nature of man, the End of Days, the evils of science, etc. Although Darabont intends this to be a gripping psychological drama, the story has taken so long to develop viewers are likely to have lost interest. Like a long spell of bad weather, "The Mist" turns out to be considerably more irritating than it is terrifying.

No. 2 - Calumet hockey dynasty continues
HOUGHTON - The rafters of Calumet Colosseum kept filling with banners in the 2000s, many of them provided by the Copper Kings.
The Calumet hockey juggernaut rolled to two more titles (2003 and 2008), the fourth and fifth in school history, and racked up the victories. Coach Jim Crawford climbed to second in the state list of wins by active coaches, with 446 midway though the 2009-10 season. His current mark of 446-204-16 is third all-time.
Calumet claimed the regional tournament at Michigan Tech five times this decade, including upset wins in 2008 and 2009.
In 2003, Calumet won a thrilling Division 3 semifinal over Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook-Kingswood on Jeff Erkkila's goal 3:54 into overtime.
Trailing in the third period of the championship game against Riverview Gabriel Richard, the Copper Kings finally broke through, as Brett Randell, Lorn Randell and Matt Helminen scored in the third period for a 3-1 win.
Just like the semifinal five years earlier, Calumet won its 2008 semifinal against Monroe St. Mary Catholic Central in the fourth minute of overtime - this time by Joe Hyrkas at 3:57.
Goaltender Tyler Junttila and forward Logan Rastello were the heroes in the championship game against Flint Powers Catholic. Junttila, whose hot hand Calumet rode throughout the tournament, made 32 saves in a shutout and Rastello scored 4:18 into overtime for the game's only goal.
Even when they were down, the Kings were tough to kill. After a rebuilding 2008-09 squad lost 18 regular season games, most in school history, the Kings ousted L'Anse and Jeffers, then shocked a high-flying Hancock squad 5-1 in the regional final before dropping an exciting quarterfinal to Big Rapids.
No. 3 - Tech men's basketball packs SDC
HOUGHTON - The SDC Gym was packed with an unprecedented electricity in a magical March of 2003, as Michigan Tech's men's basketball program had its best season in school history, culminating in hosting the Great Lakes Regional of the NCAA Tournament.
Already coming off an NCAA Tournament appearance the year before, coach Kevin Luke's Huskies went 25-2 in the regular season and reached No. 1 in the country in mid-February. Grand Valley St. used slowdown tactics to defeat the Huskies in the penultimate regular season game for Tech's only GLIAC loss, but the Huskies bounced back to win the GLIAC Tournament, defeating Ashland, Northern Michigan and Findlay in Houghton.
Tech was the first Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference school to host an NCAA regional, and attendance for the three sessions included the two largest crowds in SDC history.
Tech eliminated Indianapolis 90-75 in the quarterfinals before a sellout crowd of 3,570. Five Huskies finished in double figures, led by 24 points from Jason Marcotte.
Before 3,612 in the semifinals, the Huskies were upset 74-71 by Southern Indiana. J.T. Luginski had a game-high 22 points, but missed a potential game-tying three at the buzzer.
In addition to their team accolades, the 2002-03 Huskies featured consensus All-American and two-time GLIAC Player of the Year Matt Cameron.
No. 4 - Prep seasons change
HOUGHTON - Ending a legal saga spanning most of the previous 10 years, the Michigan High School Athletic Association finally relented and switched several high school sports seasons to comply with a lower court ruling on grounds of gender equity.
A group of Grand Rapids-area parents known as Communities for Equity sued the MHSAA in 1998 alleging that the alignment of girls' volleyball in the winter was among several season arrangements discriminatory to female athletes and cost them opportunities for exposure to college recruiters.
After the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the MHSAA's appeal on April 2, 2007, the MHSAA implemented a plan that moved volleyball into the fall and girls' basketball to winter, among other changes.
In a region that already had two major winter prep sports, the move was especially challenging. Both the WestPAC and Copper Country conferences set a plan in which boys' basketball games are played on Mondays and Thursdays in the first half of the season, then flip-flop with girls to play Tuesdays and Fridays in the second half.
Meanwhile, volleyball has earned increased exposure with less competition in the fall season.
No. 5 - Tech's women's hoops run goes to San Antonio
HOUGHTON - Michigan Tech's women's basketball team went on a tremendous run in the 2009 postseason, reaching all the way to the Elite Eight in San Antonio, Texas.
Coach John Barnes' Huskies won their first 15 GLIAC games and reached No. 8 in the country before losing three games in February and slipping to No. 20.
Tech still claimed the No. 1 seed in the GLIAC Tournament and hosted the semifinals and finals at the SDC Gym for the second consecutive year. However, back-to-back league crowns were not to be, as Hillsdale's Katie Cezat led the Chargers to a big early lead. The national player of the year had 36 points and 16 rebounds in Hillsdale's 81-69 win.
Tech still earned the fourth seed in the Great Lakes regional at Highland Heights, Ky. and dispatched Northwood in the quarterfinals before a shocking and thorough 76-53 domination of hosts Northern Kentucky, the No. 1 team in the country.
Tech stopped Indianapolis 69-52 for a berth in the Elite Eight at San Antonio before falling 61-53 in the national quarterfinals to eventual national champions Minnesota State, Mankato.
Still, the loss had a silver lining - all but one player returned for the ongoing 2009-10 campaign.
No. 6 - Gremlins crowned Class C girls' hoops champs
HOUGHTON - The Houghton girls' basketball program under coach Julie Filpus has dominated the decade, winning every district tournament and WestPAC regular season championship held.
But the crowning achievement of the Gremlin dynasty came in 2005, when Houghton took home the Class C state crown. After ousting Hancock and Calumet in districts, then Iron Mountain and Negaunee in regionals, the Gremlins defeated Kingsley 60-47 in Petoskey for a berth in the semifinals at East Lansing's Breslin Center.
Houghton bounced Olivet 61-46 in the semifinal, setting up a match-up with Michigan Center in the Dec. 3 championship game.
The Gremlins rallied from 24-14 down at halftime to take the lead early in the fourth quarter and sealed it by making 17-of-21 free throws in the fourth quarter en route to a 50-44 win. Alyssa Polso led the way with 22 points and 12-for-14 free-throw shooting.
No. 7 - Tech hockey suffers in worst decade of program's history
HOUGHTON - The 2000s didn't start off well for Michigan Tech's hockey program, and only rarely got better, as the Huskies lost more than 60 percent of their games.
After finishing the worst season in school history (1999-2000) with a 4-34 record, coach Tim Watters resigned in November 2000 after Minnesota State, Mankato swept the Huskies in Houghton. Mike Sertich took over for the next two-and-a-half years, but the program never climbed above ninth in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association standings.
After Sertich's retirement, Cornell assistant coach and Tech alumnus Jamie Russell took charge for the 2003-04 season, and after three years of struggles, the Huskies broke through in 2006-07, posting their first winning record (18-17-5) since 1993 and defeating Colorado College in a playoff series to earn the program's first WCHA Final Five berth since 1996.
With many of the key players coming back, hopes were high for the following season, but fizzled early, and the program has not approached those accomplishments since.
No. 8 - Finlandia athletic program grows
HANCOCK - After its establishment late in the 1990s, Finlandia University's athletic programs grew steadily throughout the decade, which included two national tournament championships and the admission of the school to NCAA Division III status.
In 2001, the Finlandia men's basketball team defeated Southern Virginia College 98-84 to win the National Small College Athletic Association title and in 2005, the women's basketball team won the United States Collegiate Athletic Association tournament.
The program expanded its offerings to 12, including men's and women's hockey, and has designs on even more expansion in the future: A football program is slated to debut in 2012, playing at a renovated Condon Field complex that will house several of FU's athletic teams.
No. 9 - Calumet leads Copper Country to volleyball prominence
CALUMET - At the beginning of the decade, prep volleyball teams in the Upper Peninsula had yet to play in a full-state tournament.
By the end of the decade, Copper Country squads were leading the charge downstate toward the top of Michigan's pecking order.
Chief among these pioneering programs was Calumet, which became the first U.P. team to play for a state volleyball championship after a 2008 semifinal win at Battle Creek against Monroe St. Mary Catholic Central. A championship was not to be, as Schoolcraft swept the Copper Kings in the Class C title match.
Houghton, Hancock and Lake Linden-Hubbell also made deep tournament runs in the decade.
No. 10 - Hometown hero: Finger makes it to NHL
HOUGHTON - One of the nation's most fervent hockey hotbeds returned a native son to the National Hockey League after a gap of 68 years.
Jeff Finger, born in Hancock and raised in Houghton, started the decade with three seasons at St. Cloud State in the WCHA before toiling through almost four full seasons in the minor leagues.
However, he made his NHL debut with the Colorado Avalanche in a Feb. 20, 2007 game against Calgary. A week later, he recorded his first assist, and then his first NHL goal, March 1 against the Chicago Blackhawks. Finger consolidated his spot in the NHL over the following season, then signed a lucrative four-year contract with Toronto in July of 2008.

Great coaches in every sport coach to their personnel.
If you don't have a fast guy to run the baseline, you can't play the 1-3-1 in basketball.
If you don't have a quick release accurate short passer as quarterback, you can't succeed in the West Coast offense in football.
If you have a bunch of free swingers who can't bunt and put the bat on the ball at will, playing small bal won't work in baseball.
You assess your personnel, and chose your strategy and tactics accordingly if you want to maximize your offense.
Some coaches or managers don't get it. Bob Boone tried to manage like Gene Mauch with guys who couldn't get a bunt down or hit to the right side when he wanted them to.
The Reds are not designed for smallball. Hell, they're not designed for anything. They are what they are by random chance. And that random chance produced an incredible number of runs last year as thumpers, not contact hitting smallballers.
We need to see things as they are, not as we might want them to be. Assess the personnel. Why on earth would we fix something that's not broken.
Personally, I like 70's and 80's baseball better. I like the "traditional" game much more than the swing from the heels so called "modern" game. I hope against hope that that style re-emerges, when speed becomes the undervalued commodity that Moneyballers move to after everybody and his uncle is overpaying for OBP and that well dries up.
But we're closer to being contenders if we see things as they are, right now. Right now, our offense is devestating.
Right now, our pitching and defense blows on a historic scale.
Coach to our strengths and fix our weakness. Fix the pitching. Leave the offense alone.

By JEREMY TIMMERMAN and Eric Russell

GRANITEVILLE — The final quarter of the Aiken County Jamboree held very little suspense, as host Midland Valley coasted to a 14-0 win over Wagener-Salley.
The Mustangs got the ball first, and forced their way down field without throwing a pass. Starting tailback Dré Carr had runs of 13, 15 and 12 yards before needing to head to the sidelines after his helmet came off.
Little brother Drekwon Carr took it from there, scampering for 21 yards to help set up his own 1-yard touchdown run.
That was the only drive the Mustangs' first unit got on offense.
"All we wanted to do was come out and play hard and hope no one gets hurt," Midland Valley head coach Rick Knight said. "We let the first group go for one series and got out of there. (Wagener-Salley head coach) Ken (Tucker) is rebuilding that team and we just wanted to get some guys some playing time."
Knight said his team will "dial it up a notch" when it opens the season against North Augusta on Aug. 29.
"The kids have been playing hard so far, the attitudes are good, so we'll see what will come of it," Knight said. "We play good teams to open up our season.
Knight said his team accomplished its other goal of limiting the big yardage. He noted that it gave up a first down, which it also wanted to avoid.
There weren't many highlights for Wagener-Salley, but sophomore quarterback Cameron Schiffner went around the end for a 10-yard gain to give the War Eagles their lone first down. He also threw a strike on the run to receiver Kesean Hudson, but the pass bounced off Hudson's hands.
"Cameron, he's another one of our young guys," said head coach Ken Tucker. "He can do some things well."
While his team wasn't very competitive during the 18-minute exhibition, Tucker was glad the War Eagles got the chance to play with a full team across the line of scrimmage.
"We struggle right now with numbers," he said. "It's good for our guys to play 11 on 11."
Wagener-Salley will also have an off week in Week Zero. They will play Bethune-Bowman at home on Aug. 29.
MV–Drekwon Carr 1 run (Thomas McCord kick) 16:02.
MV–Carr 1 run (McCord kick) 9:57.
WS–Ke'Aunri Holmes 4-11, Cameron Shiffner 7-(-1), Al Bynem 1-3. Totals 12-13.
MV–Dré Carr 4-43, Drekwon Carr 9-51-2TD, D.J. Boyd 5-20, Devonte Perry 10-46, Randall Self 1-(-21). Totals 29-129-2TD.

Bucs edge Wolves in final meet
Sequim Gazette
The meet was so close, it wasn't decided until the final event.
Following the final Olympic League meet of the season on Jan. 27, it was clear that both Sequim and Kingston were primed and poised for the postseason.
The visiting Buccaneers edged Sequim 95-88 on Jan. 27, with a bevy of close races that included the 400 freestyle relay finale. Sequim held a modest lead after two legs but despite setting a team season-best of 4:05 (a 10-second PR), the Bucs came back to edge the Wolves for the win.
Kevin Fox and Dante Miguel led the Bucs to victory.
Fox picked up individual wins in the 100 butterfly and 200 individual medley and helped lead Kingston to wins in the 200 medley and 400 free relays. Miguel picked up wins in the 200 and 500 free events.
Sequim picked up five wins, led by newcomer Taylor Bonneau, who won the 50 free and 100 free events. His 50 free mark of 23.67 is just 0.08 seconds off a state qualifying time and his 53.69 in the 100 free is 2.5 seconds from a state berth.
Sequim finishes the regular season with a 3-3 league record, 3-4 overall.
"I'm really happy with their results," Sequim coach Linda Moats said following the meet. "They are really pushing themselves."
Noe Calderon picked up a win in the 100 breaststroke. He and Bonneau joined Tommy Moores and Drew Rickerson in shaving three seconds off Sequim's top 200 free relay time at 1:40, four seconds from a state berth.
Without any Kingston divers to contend with, Sequim's trio of varsity divers earned 13 points for the squad. They were led by Ezra Perkins, who edged teammate Connor Christianson 186.35 points to 180.65. Cameron Harrison (153.80) was third.
Diving coach Susan Craig said she thinks all four of her varsity divers (Perkins, Christianson, Harrison and Austin Clement) have a shot at qualifying for state — particularly because of the limited field. Sequim faced just one other league team (Port Angeles) with any divers and the state meet allows a total of 24 divers to compete.
Petersen, the senior who was a diver his first two years before opting to swim his final two, qualified for the district meet after topping his 500 free best by 13 seconds, in just his second time competing in the event.
Rickerson shed 12 seconds from his personal best in the 200 free to finish second in the event.
Moores set personal bests in the 50 free and 100 butterfly.
Moats said she likes Moores' and Bonneau's chances of advancing to state, as well as Sequim's 200 freestyle relay team.
Setting standards
Several Sequim swimmers set personal bests against Kingston, including Calderon (200 IM by nearly four seconds), Kiano Stoppani (200 free by five seconds and 500 free by four seconds), Andrew Gunstone (500 free by 1:29 and the 200 free by seven seconds), Doug Dunbar (200 IM, by eight seconds) and Matt Cays (100 breaststroke by seven seconds).
David Vollenweider set top times in the 100 butterfly (by two seconds) and the 100 breaststroke (by seven seconds) events.
"He has been working hard on this event and it's showing," Moats said. "As a sophomore, he is showing great potential for coming years."
The Olympic League meet, a competition for league swimmers and divers to qualify for districts or state, or to fine tune their events before districts, was set for Feb. 1 — results of the meet were unavailable at press time.
The West Central District meet is scheduled for Feb. 10-12 at Hazen High School in Renton.
Swimmers who have state-qualifying times, plus the top four from each event at districts, advance to the class 2A state boys meet, scheduled for Feb. 18-19 at the Weyerhauser King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way.

Teachers need pay cuts | Federal Way letters
Paraeducator — is that anything like a sanitation engineer?
If the teachers and administrators are so concerned about the need for the paraeducators in the classroom, they would take the 10 percent paycut I did during the height of the recession and not just a 1.9 percent cut. And they would pay more for their insurance like my co-workers and I had to do. I am sure if they did this, there would be plenty of money for the paraeducators.

Try to avoid eating heavy foods before going out for travelling long journeys in vehicles as this may lead to vomits. And also take care that there is an ample amount of air in the vehicle as lack of it may lead to saffocation and then vomiting. For children make them involve in some games or chatting as this will avoid any chances of feeling like vomit and divert their mind to something else. Also eating or smelling some citrus food like lemon etc.,. may reduce the feeling a little. After vomiting sensation it is better to stop travelling for a while untill it gets normal.

Vomiting during travel is due to the inertia factor. While traveling, especially over hills, winding roads or even rickety roads, people who are not much habituated to such travel tend to vomit. This is because, when travelling though our body moves as per the motion of the vehicle, we try to keep our head upright. This creates a contra situation and churning effect resulting in vomiting.
Empty stomach, Only liquid filled stomach too much sour or acidic food all add up to this.
There are some proven tips to reduce the problem.
1.Never start a journey on empty stomach. Take a little food,probably steamed and without oil,with some salt.
2.Take some water or liquid, but keep some part of stomach free- i.e do not eat or drink stomachfull.
3. Have a good night's sleep before starting the journey.
4. If there is a slight indication of a headache, take a headache medicine immediately, so that it does not aggravate.
5.As far as possible break and take a few minutes rest in between by coming out and stretching legs or taking a few steps. A very light snack in roadside restaurant in between also can help both ways
6. Chew or sip little by little a candy or a peppermint toffee throughout till you are sure that you will not vomit.
7.Take deep breath frequently.
8. Do not travel watching sights on the sides. Instead focus your vision straight in front on the road.If you feel discomfort, try to lie down closing your eyes.
9. In case vomiting is inevitable, allow that, do not try to stop. Let the whole go out so that you feel comfortable. Then take some water and a candy immediately.
10. If nothing of the above are helping, before the next journey, consult a doctor and take the medicines prescribed him as advised.

You can use Tamarind or Pickle upon travel to avoid vomiting. Naturally for few travelers the mechanism of the vehicle's pollution and highway pollution won't accept their body even though they get unfiltered air on the way. Thus creating vomiting sense whereas the same vomiting sense won't come in the Railway journey or Air journey due to a different atmosphere of their mechanism.
However, try to avoid to have medium or heavy food prior to travel till safely reaches the destination and then you can consume food which can help you to get digestion upon walking while tour.

Dear Member,
First of all vomiting can occur due to empty stomach and at that time if you take lime or something like that it will cause acidity and due to that vomiting can start. So do not travel with empty stomach and at the same time do not eat a lot to fill your stomach. Try to get a satisfactory quantity of food, not a lot & not a little. And use lime juice and something like that when stomach is not empty.
Secondly drinking too much water and travelling by uneven road and facing lots of jerking can be the cause of vomiting.
Do not use chewing gums to make your mouth busy and to keep far from vomiting because these gums are not good for your health. Try to use natural products like cardamon, cloves e.t.c.
Do not travel just after taking your meal. Try to relax a bit after taking your food.
When feeling uneasy and tendency of vomiting is affecting try to relax your body. Straight your back, gently rub your front and back neck portion. Try to divert your mind by talking with your fellow travelers or by listening music. Make your self busy by eating nuts but chips can be the cause of acidity.
And at last for safety keep a medicine with you which is harmless. Take it if vomiting tendency is not bearable. Name of the medicine is Vomitas.

Some travellers vomiting while travelling in a bus because they are not habitual to it. So they should make some cares to avoid this mishappenings. They should eat light food before travelling. They should take full sleep at the night before travelling. They should drink much water. They should chew something like chocolate suitable to their body. They should sit on their seat after spreading a newspaper on the seat. They should take lemon and salt with them. They should taste it while travelling. As it is a bad thing it cannot be solved easily. So we should take much care about it.

Besides following the tips given by others, there two more steps you can take to minimize discomfort.
Make sure you sit in the middle position of the van/car. The central point will have the least amount of swinging and swaying as the vehicle moves left or right. If you sit at any of 3 corners (4th is taken by driver) you will find the greatest range of movement as compared to being seated in the center position. Keep a few plastic bags handy in case you need it.
You may also wear dark glasses to minimize the visual effect adding to the discomfort during the daytime. You won't see the bright and contrasting colors in motion that could add to nauseous feeling. Things will look dimmed and less nauseating.

Yes, vomiting can't be stopped. If the residual food/chewed food comes upwards, you have to throw it out. You may delay it for some seconds, or may be up to a minute.
However, the urge to vomit during travelling could be reduced by taking less spicy food before the journey, and by licking lemon and rock salt during the journey.
