MOSCA—The Rye Lady Thunderbolts struck down the Del Norte Lady Tigers and the Sangre de Cristo Lady Thunderbirds in straight sets to capture the Class 2A Region E championship and an automatic berth to the 2012 State Volleyball Tournament at the Denver Coliseum next Friday and Saturday.
The Lady Thunderbirds finished in second place by defeating the Lady Tigers in the opening match of the tournament. They will now wait for the state bracket to be released on Sunday and hope that they are a wild card team selected to play for a state title.
The new system for Class 2A states that out of the eight regionals that are being held this weekend, the winner of each will be an automatic qualifier. The new addition to this is that four wildcard teams will be selected after the completion of the regional tournaments. Teams will be selected based on the MaxPrep Freeman Rankings.
"We are hoping we have enough points to give us a shot at the wild card bid," said Thunderbird Head Coach Misti Lambert after Friday afternoon's loss to Rye. "We played hard all season to push points in case we were in this situation so we can make it, we are hoping we did enough to make it."
Thunderbirds def. Tigers in four
The first set of the tournament was a cross-Valley rivalry that pitted the No. 3 seeded Del Norte Lady Tigers against the host Lady Thunderbirds. The game started off with the two teams looking like they were on different pages, with the Tigers running out of the gate strong, but when the dust settled and the match was over, the Thunderbirds emerged with the critical victory.
The Lady Thunderbirds won the match in four sets. The set scores were 25-18, 21-25, 25-21 and 25-12.
The Lady Thunderbirds swept the season series. The Tigers, who started the season with a perfect 10-0 record, were handed their first loss of the season in three straight sets. The loss moved Del Norte to a 3-game losing streak before they came back. The Thunderbirds opened up the 2012 District 6 tournament with 5-set win over Del Norte.
Senior Kathryn New was the Tiger-killer in the fourth set of Friday's win as she propelled the Lady Thunderbirds to an 8-point run and included three kills, two blocks and an ace in the final set.
The Lady Tigers were led by junior AJ Fresquez, who had at least 12 kills in the game.
The first set began with the Lady Tigers coming out with a 5-0 run before blocks by freshman Jenna McKinley and sophomore Heather Dieckman got the Lady Thunderbirds on the board.
Sangre de Cristo sophomore Allie Beiriger led the Lady Thunderbirds on a 12-point run to give them a 15-8 lead. Senior Kendra Neese and sophomore Abbey Stagner combined for six kills in the run.
The two teams then traded serving errors but ultimately the Lady Tigers tallied too many errors.
The second set was dominated by Del Norte as they opened up the lead to 11-4. In the set, Fresquez tallied five kills while senior Emmali Alexander tallied an ace and a kill.
Del Norte led for a majority of the third set, their biggest lead was eight when they led 13-5. The Lady Thunderbirds battled back and tied the game at 20 before took the lead and won the set 25-21.
Sangre de Cristo did not look back as New dominated and led Sangre de Cristo to a 25-12 set four win.
Rye dominates Del Norte, win in three
The Lady Thunderbolts' confidence grew with each set as they ended up taking a 3-set win from the Del Norte Lady Tigers in the second match. They won with set scores of 25-12, 25-22 and 25-11.
The Tigers battled with the Lady Thunderbolts because they tied the opening set at six. Rye quickly doubled the score with the help of seniors Taylor Mansfield and Rylee Abert. The two combined for five kills as they ran away with a 25-12 win.
It looked as if the Lady Tigers would make a strong comeback and win the second game because junior Lindsay Jensen rallied off four aces and Del Norte took an 8-3 lead. Even being down Rye did not give up as they rallied back and rushed past to take a 25-22 win.
The third and final set was all Rye because they had a 12-point lead with the score 16-4. They allowed Del Norte to score some points, just not enough to get back into the game and the final set score was 25-11.
Rye sweeps Thunderbirds in three
A key injury hindered the hopes of Sangre de Cristo capturing the regional title and the Lady Thunderbolts failed to make many mistakes as they won by set scores of 25-22, 25-22 and 25-17.
The injury, which occurred in the second set, was to senior Kathryn New. When she was diving for a ball, her leg moved in the wrong way and she sprained her ankle and struggled to get to her feet. She left the game and did not return. She was replaced by senior Alex Carr.
"That was the first time she has seen varsity action this season," said Lambert. "She elevated to the cause and handled the ball well, it's a hard spot to follow after an injury like that and she was able to."
The first game was an exciting one that had both teams lunging at ball and diving around for some digs and long rallies. The Lady Thunderbirds were able to keep pace the whole set until the Lady Thunderbolts went on a 5-0 run to make the score 18-13. The two teams then just matched each other until the end of the set.
Sangre de Cristo's only lead came early in the second set when they led 2-1. Junior Anna Netzer and Jessica Lauritzen led the way for Rye as they had three kills and two aces respectively to help them win.
The final set was all Rye as they opened up a 19-7 lead, a lead that was too hard to overcome.
"I feel like it was a successful season so far," said Lambert. "The team has grown up they have grown and adjusted to different teams."
Class 2A Region A Tournament
LA JUNTA—The Sanford Indians were swept in both of their games in the Class 2A Region A Tournament here at Otero Junior College on Friday afternoon.
The eventual champion Swink Lions defeated the Indians in three straight sets 25-10, 25-18 and 25-13.
The Fowler Grizzlies defeated the then defeated the Indians in two sets, 25-14 and 25-13. The two teams only had to play a best-of-3 match because the match did not factor into the Regional Championship. Like the Lady Thunderbirds, the Indians must wait to see if they are a wild card team.

Joe Nathan put everything he had into rehabilitation following Tommy John elbow ligament replacement surgery in March of 2010 to be ready for the start of the 2011 season. And he accomplished that.
Yet he hasn't been the pitcher he wants to be -- or the Twins need -- posting a 7.63 ERA with opponents batting .353 off him.
Now with his elbow hurting, Nathan is headed to the 15-day disabled list to work the inflammation out of the area and hopefully return a better pitcher.
"You never want to have a setback to put you on the DL," he said. "This is a situation where we want to take care of this thing and kind of gradually get better as the season goes on."
"And doing what I'm doing now, it's just kind of keeping on a level. It is not getting much better. We feel like we have a pretty good plan as far as treatment right now."
Nathan doesn't know when he will return to the mound. He is eligible to come off the disabled list June 8, but it depends on when the soreness subsides and he's able to get on a throwing program and work on his pitches.

The Horse Forum
- Horse Health
- - Is it just soreness?
Is it just soreness? My 15-year old quarter horse was giving me a lot of trouble with trotting and loping beginning about two weeks ago. She would put her head down very low and turn off to the left when asked to trot or lope. After two days of this, I had a trainer at my barn ride her to see if she might have an injury or whether she was just being bratty. She rode her around the arena a few times and said she was just being difficult. I gave her a couple of days off from riding, and last Saturday she did much better, did trot and loped briefly, although her lope was very clumsy and jarring to me. When I went out to get her Monday this week, she could hardly walk. The farrier who did her feet about 3 weeks ago was there, and both he and my trainer checked her and suggested I call the equine chiro. He adjusted her and said she was just very sore and to give her a week off. My question is that I was riding her a lot more, say a month or so ago, and never had any problems like this. So why would she all of a sudden have such a severe soreness problem? The only thing that has changed is that it has gotten cold here, in the 30's at night. A little history... she was a cutting horse and has been brood mare in pasture for over 10 years. She is now 15. I pulled her out of pasture late July and have been slowly getting her back into shape for trail riding. Put about 50-75 pounds on her since she was thin. Chiro report says poll was out on both sides, rotated pelvis, femoral head tenderness & tightness in stifles and paraspinal muscles & sacrum tightened up. Rib 8 rotated & tender. Seems like she maybe got into a little accident, although there were no scratches/scrapes on her anywhere. Should I learn how to wrap her legs for support? What do you all think? Oh, and there was no swelling, nothing was hot, feet OK. Thanks for your help! I am newbie horse owner. |
How are you riding her? I realize it's been a long time since she was in the cutting pen but those horses ride on a VERY loose rein. If you are trying to collect her, you are going to ask her to stiffen. Long slow miles are best to bring her soft tissue back. Build from the inside out. |
I do ride her with a very loose rein. She was very well trained, I neck reign her. It would be a good idea to let the trainer at the barn watch us lope, though, now that you bring it up. She watches me ride sometimes and has never commented on me doing anything wrong. I'll ask her about what you said. |
OK, so had time to talk in person with the trainer/BO and another guy after work today when I went out there and they say she probably did something in the pasture... duh... so we are waiting to see improvement and if not more chiro adjustment early next week. If no progress in three weeks, will take her to local racetrack hospital for evaluation. I am so very bummed. We were having so much fun. I am leasing her and you have no idea how close I came to buyinig her last month until I found a trailer and spent "her" cash on the trailer, probably the deal of my lifetime. I am probably over reacting, but this horse has me wrapped around her left ear and I just hope that she will be rideable again. She is in a paddocks with three others, water a little ways away... put the halter on and walked her to water since I'm not sure she would go there if in pain. She is a little better, but not much. I would gladly take an injury over seeing HER like this... I am so very bummed :( |
Update... she has much improved, have been walking her for about 10 min/day. She's still a little stiff. Chiro coming back out again Monday, day after tomorrow. |
Do you have much Lyme disease in your area? Two out of six of my horses have Lyme disease. Just a thought. |

Tijuana Drug Gang Truce Appears Broken
Tuesday, December 15, 2009
Aired 12/15/09
Gruesome drug cartel violence has kicked up again in Tijuana. At least 30 people have been killed in the last five days.
Gruesome drug cartel violence has kicked up again in Tijuana. At least 30 people have been killed in the last five days.
The murders are an echo of the unprecedented wave of violence that gripped Tijuana at this time last year.
That historic rash of killings calmed down after the leader of the Arellano Felix drug cartel and the renegade lieutenant he was warring with declared a truce.
But in the last few weeks, the murder rate has ramped up again as has the level of gruesomeness.
Tuesday morning, authorities found three decapitated bodies in an industrial area in Tijuana's southeast. Another was found across town in an abandoned vehicle. Monday, a dead man was found hanging from a bridge on the Tijuana-Rosarito highway.
Baja California's Attorney General says many of the dead are street level drug dealers. Notes left with some of the bodies found recently suggest the truce between the warring drug groups has ended.

Cathartic or something. IBFC has a clip of the deadly third down. You can see what happened for yourself. Vijay breaks it down very well, so I won't go into tremendous detail. Run over there and read it for yourself, then come back...
doGsinairB: OMG U R soooo dumb MannMann1997
MannMann1997: LOL thn why am i defnsive cooordinator n u r not
doGsinairB: UR such a homo. man+man = homo.
MannMann1997: LOL
doGsinairB: homo.
What to do about Herrmann? The guy sits back on every third and long, rushing three, when Minnesota wants to convert them and then when Minnesota is clearly playing for overtime he calls a fundamentally unsound blitz that pulls any sort of safety help away from the run to the short side that the defensive alignment obviously invites. Michigan set up in a 3-3 nickel with Burgess--an undersized SAM--lined up as the strongside DE, taking on a tight end who outweighs him by 50 pounds, and Michigan's best linebacker (Harris) and defensive linemen (Woodley, Watson) lined up on the weak side of the formation, ready to attack the run to the wide side which never comes.
What an absolutely arrogant call! Michigan lines up as if to say "don't run here," thinking they've outsmarted the Gopher offense, and then calls a blitz from that side of the formation, abandoning the last, disaster-preventing line of defense on the short side of the field, as if there was no possibility that the Gophers might recognize the blatant overload and attack the defense's weak point. If there was ever a time to send in a base nickel formation and drop seven, this was it--who blitzes on third and ten when you know a run is coming? The point is to get the stop, and the probabilities of doing so are greatly increased when you don't blitz. There was no advantage to blitzing; we saw the disadvantage unfold in front of our eyes. This is a clear instance of brain-dead coaching, combined with two bad plays from the linebackers, costing us a game.
Yeah, Jim Herrmann coaches the linebackers, too.
This should make for a harmonious locker room. Via Fanblogs comes Leon Hall's incendiary statement after the game:
"After watching it, we had some guys kind of loafing,'' cornerback Leon Hall said Monday, two days after Minnesota's 23-20 win.That's a really strange statement. Graham made a bad decision. Everyone else was out of position because of the playcall except Burgess, who I think screwed up, but I don't think there's any indication of loafing. Were it so simple."The guys that were loafing, they know,'' Hall later added. "I'm sure they're down on themselves about it."
I highly recommend the Big Ten basketball season preview being assembled by Hawkeye Hoops. He's got Minnesota up and more are on the way. You will be notified when Michigan shows.
Tempting... I'm trying to not uselessly bash media people--bad for the image, dontchaknow--but when Deadspin posts something like this in its ongoing series "Why Your Hometown Columnist Sucks," it's like walking out of an AA meeting and into Oktoberfest. Must... not... write... DrewSharpequivalent SPOCK! So dead on:
It's not so much that American newspaper editors want to employ mean-spirited sports columnists such as Bill Conlin; we're pretty sure it's the law. How else would one explain it? Every large paper seems to have its resident sports bastard.And the reasons why are mystifying. They get ratings, I guess--anyone reading RJYH's passages about 'Bama public enemy #1 Paul Finebaum knows that well--but they also engender a deep distaste. Though St. John manages to humanize Finebaum by following him around on a 'Bama football Saturday when the threat of violence against him is palpable, I found little sympathy in my heart for a man who's consciously chosen to piss off a state full of people in exchange for money and notoriety, who's built an entire career out of gleeful, cynical schadenfreude. It would be different if people like Sharp or Conlin or Finebaum gave a damn about the teams they berate--there's something endearing about watching Joey short-circuit like Johnny Five--but they don't.

Project Map
The only highway crossing of the Currituck Sound along the North Carolina coast is the Wright Memorial Bridge on U.S. 158 at the southern end of Currituck County into Dare County.
The single crossing can mean increased congestion – especially during the summer – on U.S. 158 as well as N.C. 12, resulting in increased travel times between the mainland and the Outer Banks. Hurricane evacuation clearance times for those using U.S. 158 and N.C. 168 also far exceed the state-designated standard of 18 hours.
The Mid-Currituck Bridge project would create a second crossing of the sound – north of the Wright Memorial Bridge – to help alleviate congestion and improve the flow of evacuation traffic in the event of a hurricane or severe storm.
It would also provide easier access between the Outer Banks and Virginia, as well as other communities in northeastern North Carolina.
The 7-mile toll project includes a two-lane bridge that spans the Currituck Sound and connects the Currituck County mainland to the Outer Banks. It also includes a second two-lane bridge that spans Maple Swamp on the Currituck County mainland, connecting Aydlett to U.S. 158.
The project has an overall estimated cost of $440 million. A portion of the funding is expected to come from bonds that will be paid back with toll revenue. The remainder of the funding is expected to come from a combination of state and federal transportation tax revenues. After taking into account funding from toll revenue, the project has an estimated cost of $173 million to NCDOT.
There is not an estimated toll rate at this time.
Project planning and implementation of the Mid-Currituck Bridge was placed on hold in 2013 while NCDOT reviewed state, regional and local transportation improvement funding priorities using the Strategic Mobility Formula.
The project has since been approved for inclusion in the 2016-2025 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), and now, work toward a Record of Decision (ROD) is underway. An amendment to the STIP calls for NCDOT to start the dedication of state transportation funding in fiscal year 2017 (which starts July 2016) that will be used for bridge construction. The STIP originally called for the dedication of funding to begin in fiscal year 2019.
As part of working toward a Record of Decision, the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is being re-evaluated to determine if a supplemental EIS is required. Because it has been more than three years since the approval of the Final EIS in 2012, this re-evaluation will consider changes regarding the project, its surroundings, impacts and any new issues, circumstances or information that was not considered in the original document. The re-evaluation will also look at any changes in laws or regulations that apply to the project.
If the re-evaluation process concludes that the information presented in the Final EIS is an accurate analysis of anticipated project impacts, the Record of Decision will be published signifying the completion of the environmental study process.
Additional activities to take place before any construction begins include: developing a new traffic and revenue study and toll financing plan, selecting a builder, preparing final design plans, acquiring right of way, and obtaining environmental agency permits.

Good morning/afternoon. Today I will be giving you a presentation based on the project [work] I did during my industrial training semester. I completed my training at one of the largest tractor manufacturing companies in the country (or in the area etc as relevant) (here I would also give the name of the company), which manufactures many other products besides tractors.

The Horse Forum
- Horse Videos
- - I finally have videos of me riding my horse.
I finally have videos of me riding my horse. And my riding looks terrible in these videos D: Idk if I was just feeling lazy or if it was my new saddle. And I had such a long rein! But this is me and my horse mickey, on the flat. What do you guys thiinkk? Trotting: Canterinnngg: Cantering again: |
The first video is extremely dark so I didn't watch much of it, but in the canter, your horse is counter bending a lot. I don't know if you're purposely doing that, but if not, you should try and get him to bend more to the inside. He looks like he has a lot of potential if you keep training him! |
One, I was being kind of lazy, my reins were long and I wasn't really putting much effort into his bend. And he arrived at this barn only about, 2 or 3 months ago, when the weather was nice and I would always ride him outside. Well now I HAVE to ride him inside and he's not so used to the indoor ring, he always tenses up and counter bends in that corner going to the right, I can to an extent grab his attention, but I can never fully relax him or get his looking completely in in that corner, not yet. But on nights like tonight I ride him in circles non stop through the corners at all gates to take out the anxiety, get him used to it. When I'm on the ground I make him stand in the corner and feed him cookies. He used to not even go near the corner, so he's getting better but he still has anxiety about it though. But thanks for the comment, I see him with a lot of potential too :D |
You're welcome! I see now, coming only a few months ago, and being afraid of the corners makes sense. Sometimes if you leg yield on a circle, and make it smaller and smaller, then ask for more bend as it gets smaller, then let him go large as he gives to the bend, it will help. This also helps get horses working their hind end, as well. Do you have a trainer? if not, then I suggest to get one, because they help tons! |
I do have one. It's quite funny how he acts like a PERFECT angel, goes round and on the bit, and is less unwilling to bend around my leg through those corners when I ride with her, but when I ride him without her he's a bit more difficult to do those tasks. Funny how some horses do that. |
I agree with eventingislovee. Just keep using a lot of leg and leg yielding really helps a lot. My horse started off hollow with short steps but now she has been really under herself, forward, and on the bit. This is because of the trainer that I have and the amount of circles and leg yielding I do. And my horse is perfect in lessons too but then she is harder to ride outside of them. I don't know what it is but its weird how they do that. |
I wish I taped todays lesson! He was, forward, on the bit, round, and I actually got him to pay attention to me in his problem corners! I got him to look to the inside, and though he was still tense he was paying attention to me. He was on the bit the whole time and I his canter was really pleasant and collected. It was great I wish I took the video camera! :D Let's see if this progress holds through out of the lesson, I'm really gonna have to work! |
YOu guys look great besides you posture and reins hehe. |

Alessandra Ambrosio on Her Brazilian Beauty Secrets
Brazilian bombshell and Victoria's Secret Angel Alessandra Ambrosio gives her perspective on hailing from the world's most beautiful country. Plus, Adriana Lima shares what Brazilian beauty means to her.
Harper's Bazaar: In your own words, what does Brazilian beauty mean to you?
Alessandra Ambrosio: Brazilian beauty is very natural and fresh. When I'm in Brazil, I feel connected to nature and wear as little makeup as possible— a great sunscreen, lip balm, and rouge is simple and chic.
HB: What do Brazilian women know about beauty that American women do not?
AA: I think all women are different no matter where they're from. In Brazil, we enjoy the ability to be more carefree.
HB: How do Brazilian women take care of their hair?
AA: I keep it natural. My hair deals with so much styling and heat for work then when I'm home, I like to air dray with VS Beach Sexy Beach Hair Wave Spray.
HB: What's the most classic Brazilian makeup look?
AA: A nice tan with lots of moisturizer. I also like to use some mascara, a bit of blush and a pink lip.
HB: How do Brazilian women take care of their skin?
AA: I try to keep my skin very hydrated with lots of moisturizers and face serums. I also always wear SPF to prevent wrinkles.
HB: What's your favorite salon in Brazil?
AA: I go to Laces and Hair—they have amazing hair masks.
HB: What did your mother and grandmother teach you about beauty?
AA: The importance of hydrating! When you are dehydrated, you see it on your face and when you've had your share of water, it glows. Nothing is better for your skin than drinking a lot of water and green juices. I also love fresh coconut water bought on the beach.

German Election Study, 1980 (ICPSR 34785)
Principal Investigator(s): Forschungsgruppe Wahlen (Mannheim)
This study consists of a data pool of ten separate "Politbarometer" surveys that were conducted monthly by MARPLAN and organized by the Forschungsgruppe Wahlen (Mannheim) as project leaders. The dataset integrates the separate surveys by coding the same question from each of the surveys under one variable. To also assure the continuity of this 1980 study with the German Electoral Data (GED) Project series, the studies for June, September and October were expanded to include questions relevant to the series, especially in eliciting information on party preference, the evaluation of leading politicians, and opinions about important political and social issues. Of particular note is the measurement of attitudes toward the political parties: several different measures were used to tap the various dimensions of party preference. Respondents were asked to separately evaluate each party and leading politicians, including the candidates for the position of Chancellor, Helmut Kohl and Helmut Schmidt, and to place the political parties on several versions of the left-right ideological dimension. Another component of the election study dealt with the respondents' opinions toward important problems, including the salience of economic issues for the German population. Open-ended questions were asked concerning the respondents' views of the economic situation, the election campaigns, a new political party, the German democratic process, improved relations between East and West Germany, relations between Germany and the United States, and the reunification of Germany. Respondents were also asked about the most important tasks facing Germany and the party that could best deal with these tasks, the reasons for the electoral outcome for each party, and respondents' political participation and voting decisions during the election campaign. Also probed were respondents' views of their financial situation, the efficacy of old-age pensions, nuclear power plants, church and politics, and labor unions, and their feelings about Germany's participation in the Olympic Games, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the potential for a superpower war, the Iran hostage crisis, and the proposed economic boycott against Iran. Additional items queried respondents about their general political activities and voting behavior and intentions. Also explored were respondents' views of divorce, tolerance of opposing views, leisure time activities, and experience of stress situations. Demographic items specify age, sex, education, marital status, occupation, military status, income, union membership, political party affiliation, and religious preference.

Sam Capra must commit an impossible assassination--or he will lose the only person in the world who matters to him . . .
Sam Capra has one reason to live: to rescue his baby son from the people who abducted him. An ex-CIA agent, Sam now owns bars around the world as cover for his real mission-working undercover for a secret network as mysterious as it is powerful, while using his skills to find his child.
Now the kidnappers have offered a deadly deal: they'll surrender Sam's child...if Sam finds and murders the one man who can expose them. Teaming up with a desperate young mother whose daughter is also missing, Sam tracks his prey-and his son-across the country in a dangerous race against time, and must unravel a deadly conspiracy if he's to rescue the only person in the world that matters to him.

Good-ole-boy Texas cowboys are a handful at the best of times with their darlins and their ma'ams, their strutting and posturing, not to mention their sweaty Western cut shirts, dusty rumpled jeans, rodeo belt buckles, and ever-present beat up Stetsons. Dylan, in the second of the Secret Life of Cowboys series, however, takes the cake as the archetypal cliché Peter Pan cowboy.
When he lassos and kisses a blindfolded woman at the strip club where he works part time to make money to pay the ranch's bills, Dylan, the middle brother of three real lookers, is smitten. If nothing else, he knows he and Ronnie will be great in the sack together.
Transplanted New Jersey divorcee Ronnie DelVecchio isn't sure if she's landed in heaven or hell in Pleasure, Texas. The lingerie and scented oils shop that she opened with her divorce settlement has just been trashed and she needs to find a handyman to put it to rights. She certainly doesn't have time for a 25th birthday in a saloon being kissed publicly by a half-dressed cowboy, no matter how stunning his pecs.
As they dance around each other sexually, after they barter for services—Dylan to restore her shop and Ronnie to cook for Dylan and his two brothers now that their cook has run off to get married—only one roadblock seems to stand in their way: The DelVecchio curse. It's said if a DelVecchio woman marries an Irishman, she will have twins. Since Dylan's last name is Garahan and he has a shamrock tattooed over his heart, she should be running long and hard since she doesn't want kids at the moment.
So with that shaky premise, Dylan and Ronnie do the courtship dance. Dylan, like all tight-lipped, monosyllabic cowboys, can't communicate to Ronnie's standards, and Ronnie who's been hurt by a philandering former husband enjoys tying Dylan's life in knots, all the while wanting him to open up and declare his love.
Fortunately, the author spares readers the usually obligatory reconciliation between Ronnie and her best friend who was two-timing her. Unfortunately, the author doesn't spare us endless pages of false angst and a hokey ending that seems scripted right out of a Marx bothers' movie.
All this high drama might be palatable if there were something going on besides the Dylan-Ronnie two-step and Dylan's good-old-boy exchanges with his older and younger brothers. The set-up of the ravaged shop and who in the community could do such a thing is put on a back burner to be resurrected when it seemed the author had run out of all the head-butting the lovers could do.
While the last brother's complicated love life—his fiancé has just remarried her former husband—is next up for the author to untangle, this reader won't be one lining up to read about it. Sometimes it's just best to let cowboys do their thing in peace without an audience.

March 16, 2009, 10:39am (report abuse)There are corporations, churches and other volunteer organizations that are taking many lower paying jobs in this country and making them volunteer jobs. Now they want to create more? Why are they wasting our time and money with non paying jobs. Sounds like they are trying to make a lot of people slaves.
This is not creating jobs--people need money!
March 16, 2009, 11:30am (report abuse)People can\'t be forced to do work. We could call it a draft and pay them nothing like we used to pay the military, but that won\'t work because workers have rights.
The private sector should do the hiring for the jobs and they should get the federal money for these programs. They are cheaper and can pay someone what the government charges to run the program. The volunteer workers are payed poverty wages with promises of education while the government charges tens of thousands for each \'volunteer\' worker. This is why these program exist, for the federal employees. They are paid 40-90,000 to administer.
The workers should be paid the median income.
March 17, 2009, 10:33am (report abuse)If either myself or my family feel compelled to volunteer our time and energy to whatever cause or endeavor. Then that decision should be of our own volition and making and not out of coercion and some government mandate. WW2 Nazi Germany had such a group, they were called the \"Brown Shirts\", not sure of their role ? Go to your local synagogue and ask any parishioner there over age 40.This bill could be the first step or \"goosestep\" to that end again.
March 21, 2009, 10:20am (report abuse)I won't do it, and neither will my future kids. I'll move from the country first. This is unconstitutional and wrong!
Blue Dog
March 22, 2009, 4:21pm (report abuse)If one reads this bill carefully it becomes very clear this is social engineering. If made "mandatory" it will be unconstitutional!!!!!
March 23, 2009, 11:30am (report abuse)I didn't see anything in the text about making service mandatory. Did I miss something?
I'm more concerned about increasing discretionary spending in these times when we should be cutting back. This is exactly the kind of program that should be cut right now, not expanded.
Besides, why do people need grant money to do community service anyway? I thought the whole point of service was voluntary sacrifice of personal time, talents, and funds.
March 23, 2009, 1:32pm (report abuse)These programs always start as voluntary & end with paid managers at some level. Forget it.
March 23, 2009, 1:36pm (report abuse)Why not call it by a name that served another despot to spread his will via the young - The Nazi Corps!
March 23, 2009, 2:02pm (report abuse)This Bill is Unconstituional and illegal! Contact your senator today...They are voting tomorrow.
We are not your slaves!
March 23, 2009, 2:59pm (report abuse)How much of the 50.00 goes to the worker? 2 or 3 dollars? The rest goes to the bureaucracy. This is why the program exists.
March 24, 2009, 6:35pm (report abuse)No Red, you didn\'t miss anything. Most people didn\'t read the bill, and are just reacting to things they read on conspiracy websites.
(logged-in user) March 25, 2009, 1:33pm (report abuse)Need to read the bill carefully. It calls for the "study" or "feasibility" of training camps for volunteers. Yes, you do get your own uniform and yes, there is a social engineering aspect to it. But relax, it's only a study. Nothing permanent comes from the government just studying something. Besides, Michelle will be in charge, not Barack. Nothing to worry about, just keep getting upset over AIG. You'll never see it coming. Think subterfuge.....
March 26, 2009, 10:13am (report abuse)Note that Sec 1304 of this bill amends CURRENT law to forbid those in a National service project from doing any of the following:
i) Protesting (against anyone, including the government)
ii) Taking any active role in a religious activity:
Engaging in religious instruction, conducting worship services, providing instruction as part of a program that includes mandatory religious instruction or worship, constructing or operating facilities devoted to religious instruction or worship, maintaining facilities primarily or inherently devoted to religious instruction or worship, or engaging in any form of religious proselytization
March 26, 2009, 11:36am (report abuse)Mandatory Volunteerism? What a joke!! Aiwth our vote, we need to kick these bums out of Congress in 2010 for concocting this type of drivel on our dime. They go ballistic on AIG bonuses; mark my words -- these same Congressional fatcats will award themselves with a nice pay raise later this year...
March 29, 2009, 1:47pm (report abuse)I think to eliminate opposition, the mandatory aspect in HR 1388 has been eliminated. However, it has been cleverly enshrined in a companion bill (HR 1444), not yet voted on, which establishes a commission to study the efficacy of making it all mandatory. It\\\\\\\'s weird and scary.
LT Jaeger
March 31, 2009, 7:00pm (report abuse)This is A GREAT BILL!!!
Nothing is mandatory, and it allows very low income seniors to receive a small stipend for their volunteerism. Administrative expenses are capped as a small percentage of the funds going to cover volunteer stipends.
As for the cost of this program, it's a drop in the bucket...plus, the expense saves all of us money in the long term by creating support for schools, hospitals, etc.
April 2, 2009, 12:01pm (report abuse)Jaeger,
In combo with HR 1444, currently in committee, the volunteerism called for in 1388/277 could well become "mandatory volunteerism", an oxymoron if ever I saw one. It's obvious to me that 1388 is a first-step attempt to undermine our charitable network and to put gov't bureaucrats in charge of "charity". They love giveaway programs particularly if they benefit the gov't bureaucrats and politicians who champion those giveaways. It's a ruse, plain and simple. Open up your eyes, cast away the ideological blinders. Our republic is under attack as never before!!
Brian C.
April 2, 2009, 1:56pm (report abuse)It doesn't get any more Orwellian than this! This is social engineering at the very least, and could be the first step towards the reinstitution of slavery! Take heed, the New World Order (aka "Change") draws nigh!
Dawn H.
April 12, 2009, 8:53am (report abuse)The big picture is that Obama wants more of these 'community organizers' running a muck in everyone's communities so that more 'change' will be spread and our kids brainwashed!
I am against forcing anyone into anything but whatever they choose to do, especially at MY taxdollar expense!
I would prefer my child work a summer job and make some money, teach him/her about the time value of money, teach the how to save money, and let them focus on their interests, not the President's!
This is the beginning of Marxism 101!
(logged-in user) April 12, 2009, 4:33pm (report abuse)zobomafoo... and Red, too:
Conspiracy theory, huh? This has been put into a new bill, H.R. 1444. Go read it, it says: "(6) Whether a workable, fair, and reasonable MANDATORY service requirement for all able young people could be developed" Read it yourself at http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h111-1444
(logged-in user) April 12, 2009, 4:54pm (report abuse)Mandatory = you gotta
Volunteerism = do something for someone else for no pay
Therefore, do the math: mandatory + volunteerism = you gotta do something for someone else for no pay
Conclusion: SLAVERY
April 23, 2009, 9:56am (report abuse)This IS MANDATORY VOLUNTEERISM and MUST be stopped dead in its tracks!! We don't need the government dictating what we do and don't do. We are a kind antion and we will volunteer when and where we want. Quit trying to make new laws - just enforce the existing laws...and let's start with the yahoos in Congress who think they're above it - Geitner, Rengel, Richardson, Daschle, Sebelius, Hillifer, and on and on.
April 24, 2009, 2:29pm (report abuse)Involuntary servitude and an army of brown-shirts. Well, B.O. did say that he wanted a civil defense organization that was as large and as well funded as the U.S. military when he was on the campaign trail. Now you got it!
Still like your CHANGE people?
BTW, I will not serve.
April 29, 2009, 12:03am (report abuse)zobomafoo:
I read the bill (I am sure you did not, that is okay, it took me 4 days). There is wording that states mandatory twice. And I have to ask- if it is going to be voluntary, why create a law? It's not like these people have a problem with earmarks.
April 29, 2009, 3:29am (report abuse)this is the egyptian form of slavery where the slave is indirectly forced voluntarily into servitude since life not in servitude sucks
June 5, 2009, 3:19pm (report abuse)The only thing we are slaves to is the all mighty dollar!
If you are privileged with the ability to serve others, you should not hesitate to help your fellow man. The fact that some in congress feel that reality should be mandatory only reflects how far we have fallen from grace. If you want to get rid of the government then start doing right by others.
August 1, 2010, 5:15pm (report abuse)If you like this Public Law you'll love HR 5741, the next step...

State College and region bordersVisitPA.com has State College (which is in Centre County, the big one right in the middle of the state) in the Alleghenies and Susquehanna region, but by our definition all of Centre County is in the Pennsylvania Wilds region. VisitPA draws the line between the two regions right through Centre County rather than following the county border. I have no opinion either way, so I'm soliciting others here: in which region should we place State College? LtPowers 11:58, 29 December 2008 (EST) State College itself is located in the "ridge and valley" section of Pennsylvania on the east side of the Alleghenies. I think it is much more appropriate in the Alleghenies and Susquehanna Valley region. Danwxman 16:23, 4 March 2009 (EST) 9 CitiesWould anyone object to dropping State College in favor of Erie? State College offers nothing for tourists aside from Penn State University. Erie, on the other hand, is one of Pennsylvania's most popular tourist spots. ChubbyWimbus 19:13, 8 October 2009 (EDT)

Casual Romantic
Casual Elegance Romantic
Lavender Purple
Dahlia Hydrangea Rose
You know what makes me happy? This wedding. This drop-dead gorgeous love fest that ranks amongst the prettiest days I have ever seen. Think rich purple and red hues, an adorable duo (LOVE their First Look) and one seriously stunning setting (hello Breaux Vineyards). Add in some lush florals from Petals & Hedges and a whole lot of pretty captured by One Summer Day and this, my friends, is the perfect way to start the weekend. See it all here.
From One Summer Day… Natalie and Alex were wed in a beautiful, purple-infused celebration, in Virginia's beautiful wine country. The college sweethearts were wed in a simple ceremony at Breaux Vineyards, nestled in the gorgeous Shenandoah foothills, and as if the beautiful natural surroundings weren't swoon-worthy enough, their day was filled with gorgeous organic-chic and DIY details, all in feminine shades of purple, lavender and lilac. One of our personal favorites was the bride's incredibly detailed Simone Carvalli lace gown.
Wine-bottle centerpieces, lush floral arrangements, and tons of mercury glass decorated the reception area. Outside, guests enjoyed the DIY photobooth put together by the groom himself. The most popular feature, though, was the gorgeous lavender station that encouraged guests to fill up their paper cones with lavender, to toss at the newlyweds during their recessional. They even had wine bottle corks for their guests to sign, instead of a traditional guest book. Back inside, more DIY details like the adorable jelly jar place cards added a fun twist to the otherwise classic, chandeliers and chiavari chairs setting. Their cake was a classic three-tiered beauty, stacked with gorgeous purple flowers, and other thoughtful little details like the purple rock-candy sticks at the dessert station kept guests coming back for more. All in all, a beautiful evening to remember!

Mumbai: Actor-filmmaker Aamir Khan, who turned 49 Friday, is happy with the way his Bollywood career shaped up last year courtesy 'Dhoom 3'. He has planned to dedicate all his time in 2014 to his social issue-based TV show 'Satyamev Jayate'.

Besides one Hindi movie, Rajkumar Hirani's 'Peekay', which is slated for release on Christmas, Aamir has no other film lined up.
Talking to reporters at his residence, where he celebrates his birthday with media persons every year, Aamir said: "Last year was great. I was happy with the success of 'Dhoom 3', and I was glad that all our hard work paid off."
"This year, I am dedicating all my time to 'Satyamev Jayate'. Only Raju's 'Peekay' will release towards the end, but there's no other film. So, my whole year is for the show."
'Satyamev Jayate' is a platform where Aamir brings socially relevant issues to the fore and discusses startling facts about them.
He said the show's telecast has been divided into three parts this time. Of the four episodes that were slated for March, two have already been aired.
"We will return with a few episodes in July, and then we will come back with some episodes in a month towards the end of 2014," he said.
During the second season, he has so far raised his voice against 'rape' and 'police'.
When curious media persons asked him about the issues he will raise in the forthcoming episodes, he said: "We don't tell the issues."
Recently, Aamir had to register a complaint with the Mumbai police in the wake of a defamatory campaign against him on a social networking website.
Lamenting such defamatory acts, he said: "It makes me sad when people do good work and then people react this way. Such people are less in number, but they are trying to spread rumours about me via social media."
"Social media is also such where people can spread any information anonymously. I feel sad. I am trying to do my bit, but I know our janata (people) know what's true. They have been seeing me and my work for 25 years. They know what's right," he added.

What Should Demi Moore's New Twitter Name Be?
Demi Moore made her first post-rehab appearance on Tuesday—and she's also looking for a new Twitter handle! What do you think it should be?
-Lucia Peters
Demi Moore is out of recovery and back in action!
The actress made her first post-rehab appearance on Tuesday of this week; according to People, she stopped by a Beverly Hills house party to support her close friend, British TV host Amanda De Cadenet (that's Amanda on the right in the photo above). Amanda is launching a new interview show on Lifetime called The Conversation on April 26—and Demi is both its executive producer and one of its inspirations. She's looking good, too—much healthier than she did in the months following her split from Ashton Kutcher.
Demi left Utah's Cirque Lodge treatment center in March after spending a month there to recover after her January overdose scare. Since then, she's been flying under the radar, vacationing, spending time with friends, and (wisely, I think) lying low. But now it looks like she's getting back in the saddle, and we're super happy for her.
Read Ack! Kim Kardashian, Mayor of Glendale?… Maybe Not (Thank Goodness!)
She's also, by the way, back on Twitter. Last weekend, Demi sent out her first Tweet since January 7, a simple "Testing…", plus a Twitpic of her lounging in bed. What's more, those of you who were wondering whether she would keep her old Twitter handle of @mrskutcher finally have your answer: She's moving on. In fact, she's actively seeking out a new name—and she wants your help! Two days ago, she sent out this:
And slightly later on, she encouraged her fans to keep the suggestions coming:
Piers Morgan even joked that he had a suggestion, to which Demi responded in kind:
So far, @mrshappy, @QueenMoore, and @DeMo rank among my personal favorite fan suggestions. What do you think she should go with, Bettys? Go on and Tweet your brilliant ideas at her—you never know, she might pick it!
Welcome back, Demi!

The Best Exotic Limited Releases
May 4th, 2012
It's a good week for limited releases, mostly because it is the week The Best-Exotic Marigold Hotel comes out. Given its international run, its chances at success on the domestic front are very strong. There are a couple other new releases that I'm cautiously optimistic about: Death of a Superhero and First Position. Perhaps summer will get off to a strong start on the limited release front as well as the wide release front.
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel - Reviews
Death of a Superhero - Reviews
First Position - Reviews
A Little Bit of Heaven - Reviews
Mother's Day - Reviews
The Perfect Family - Reviews
This film has one of the best ensemble cast I've seen in a long time. There actors in the cast who not only won Oscars, but who were knighted for their craft. The film's reviews are overwhelmingly positive, but slightly below the 80% positive level I would like to see in a limited release. However, if you look at these negative reviews, a lot of them praise a lot of elements in the movie, but say it is too safe and too predictable. I don't think that's going to hurt it too much with mainstream audiences. It is opening in a lot of theaters, but if it can do well this weekend, then it should expand over the coming weeks / months. The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel opens tonight in 27 theaters and I hope to be talking about its box office success for much of the summer.
Thomas Sangster stars as Donald Clarke, a high school student who has trouble fitting in and retreats into his art. When he is diagnosed with a terminal illness, he retreats even further into his art and super hero fantasies. So far this film is not earning a lot of buzz; it is certainly being drowned out by the buzz enjoyed by The Best-Exotic Marigold Hotel. However, the film is currently earning 100% positive reviews and there is some hope it will do well on the per theater chart, perhaps enough to expand significantly over the coming weeks / months. Death of a Superhero opens tonight at the SIFF Cinema at the Uptown in Seattle, Washington.
A documentary about a dancing competition that is one of the most prestigious in the world. Thousands of kids enter the Youth America Grand Prix, a ballet competition. The film's reviews are excellent and it could find an audience outside of fans of ballet. First Position opens tonight in five theaters, including the IFC Center and Lincoln Plaza Cinema in New York City.
A romantic comedy starring Kate Hudson as a woman who learns she has cancer and falls in love with her doctor. There are quite a few excellent actors in this movie, including Peter Dinklage, who looks like a refugee from a 1970s porno with that mustache. But while the cast is good, the reviews are nothing short of awful. Even the two positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes are mixed. A Little Bit of Heaven opens tonight in 11 theaters, but given the reviews, that's likely as far as it will go.
This film isn't going to find a significant audience in limited release for a few reasons. Firstly, it's the wrong genre. Horror films rarely do well in limited release. Secondly, its reviews are only mixed and well below the level needed to thrive in limited release. And finally, it is coming out on DVD and Blu-ray this Tuesday, so its target audience will likely just wait. Mother's Day opens tonight in three theaters, including the City Cinemas Village East in New York City and the Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles.
Kathleen Turner stars as a matriarch of a family that is comically dysfunctional. She's kept their collective craziness hidden from the outside world. However, now that she's up for Catholic Woman of the Year at her local parish, the final test is showing off her family. Oh boy. I heard a lot of buzz about this film, much more so than most limited releases, but the reviews are just under 50% positive. Disappointing. I still want to see it, because Kathleen Turner is a great actress, but like many, I think I'll wait till the home market. The Perfect Family opens tonight in five theaters, as well as video on demand. It then comes out on DVD at the end of June.

COLDWATER ��It�would be unwise to�swim in the Sauk River or the north chain of lakes until water tests are completed, the�Coldwater Board of Public Utilities (CBPU) and the Branch-Hillsdale-St. Joseph Community Health Agency (CHA) warned Tuesday.
The warning follows�the spill of less than 50,000 gallons of raw sewage into the river Monday after a power failure and failure of backups at the city sewer plant.
The sewage effluent ran into the river from the head of the plant from approximately 6:10-6:35 p.m.
�It had no other place to go except into the storm drain into the river,� CBPU manger Beckhusen said.
Samples were taken from five locations along the waterway. Fecal coliform counts may be elevated for the next few days. During this time it is recommended that individuals avoid full body contact with the water in the area between the CBPU wastewater treatment facility and the Rotary Park public access.
Results of the tests will be released today.
�We don�t like that it happened,"Beckhusen said. "We did everything we needed to do."
The distribution line to the plant failed Monday. The last time there was a spill was during the August blackout of 2004�which�disrupted power�from the eastern seaboard to the midwest.
Health warning issued for Sauk River
