Pottawatomie County Commissioner Jerry Richards on Monday said he wanted to enact a county-declared burn ban, but it appears the state's criteria for a burn ban declaration haven't been met.
Pottawatomie County Commissioner Jerry Richards on Monday said he wanted to enact a county-declared burn ban, but it appears the state's criteria for a burn ban declaration haven't been met.
Following extreme drought conditions and fires that prompted both local and Governor's burn bans over the summer, Pottawatomie County commissioners have a standing agenda item each week to discuss a burn ban, just in case.
Monday, Shawnee/Pottawatomie County Emergency Management Director Don Lynch informed commissioners no action was needed this week based on conditions and a polling of the county's 12 fire chiefs.
But Richards spoke up and said he feels a ban is needed.
"I just think we need to put the burn ban on immediately," Richards said. "We're just asking for it."
While Lynch said it's "very dry" and we're still in a drought, he said residents have been cautious so there's been no out-of-control fires.
But Richards said, "It just takes one."
Discussion followed as Commissioner Melissa Dennis questioned if they could put the burn ban on whether or not the county meets the state's defined criteria. Assistant District Attorney Tracy McDaniel, the board's legal counsel, took a few minutes to research the statute and reported all four criteria set by state statues have to be met.
Those include being in a moderate to severe drought, there being no more than one-half inch of rain in the forecast, firefighters having unsuccessful efforts on initial grass fire attacks and more than 20 percent of wildfires being caused by escaped debris.
"Unless you find all four, you cannot," enact the ban, McDaniel told the commission. Discussion indicated there's probably two of them here met as of Monday, so the board took no action.
"Let it be stated that we tried," Richards said. "If we burn up, we tried."
And while there was concern about the conditions Monday, Tecumseh's fire chief said based on conditions he's seeing, he doesn't feel the ban is needed at this point.
"There's no reason why we should be in a burn ban right now," Williams said. "We don't meet the criteria — there's no reason to burden people who live out in the county."
Williams based his reasoning on the fact that he couldn't remember the last time Tecumseh firefighters were dispatched to a grass fire. He said the city, on average, issues two to three burn permits each week, and they've seen no problems with those who are burning.
While he understands the commissioners are looking out for citizens, Williams said he'd be disappointed if they enact a ban too soon.
"Citizens are doing something right — that speaks for itself," Williams said, although he reminds people that they need to be cautious.
"We are in a stage of dormant grass…and it's not going to green up til spring," he added.
Bethel Fire Chief Richelle Treece said they've have a few grass fires in that area, but none were major.
"It's dry, that's for sure," she said, adding it's not the same level as the problems that warranted burn bans this past summer.
"It's a happy medium between keeping us all safe and tying the hands of people wanting to get things done," Treece said.
Shawnee Fire Chief David Short said there hasn't been any significant grass fires recently in the Shawnee response area other than dump fires, although he said conditions remain extremely dry.
"We're not at a panic situation yet," he said.
Short said he believes the massive fires around the state earlier this year prompted more education and awareness.
"People have become more aware," Short said, but added everyone should "be extremely careful when burning."
The fire chiefs said if people do decide to conduct a controlled burn, they need to make sure weather conditions allow it on that particular day. It's also imperative they call the fire department in their area to report a controlled burn so if 911 calls start coming in, dispatchers will know where controlled burns are being conducted.
As of Monday, there are currently no burn bans in any of the state's 77 counties.

Come on, Wayne, you expect us to read piles of your writings and now expect us to watch over an hour of movie. Come on, we aren't all completely without anything to do.You tell us in your words what this is all about.
I'm particularly happy to talk to someone that might be able to dismiss all this quasi earthquake prediction nonsense you scientific minded people seem to embrace. It's funny that I'm the one talking about premonitions, and having to beat down the foolishness that man has evolved with an increasing ability predict an earthquake.... separate from science, and without the existence of God. You thought I was loopy!
Thousands of people have visions of earthquakes, every day, all over the world. Hundreds of earthquakes happen every year--most too small for people to feel, luckily. It would be strange if someone somewhere did not have a vision of an earthquake that coincided with an actual earthquake! What would be the point of god giving you a random vision of an earthquake?
And what does the word "impact" have to do with an earthquake? It was not a meteor strike or a plane crash or god's might fist punching out President Obama. Yeah, during earthquakes things fall down and have impacts, but also fires erupt and gas mains rupture causing explosions. Why would god say "impact"? That would be like hearing "fire" right before a hurricane.
That is only fair. And as it turns out, none of them have any more factual evidence than any other. That is the one thing that they all have in common with you, Wayne.
Can you address my question about the god Eshu and triplets? How would you explain that Eshu, whose magic number is 3, does not cause triplets to be born?
Obama is as much a symptom as he is the problem. I think my Obama is America's Idi Amin retro-prophecy is continuing in it's fulfilment in ways I don't want to imagine.
Wayne, since you are suggesting Obama is like Idi Amin I think you need to justify that statement by elaborating on it.
. I had a dream the Friday night after I met Bill Whittle that showed riots ahead blocking a freeway. As I stopped and began negotiating how to reverse course to avoid the riots I was met by a near giant personage at first I perceived as a possible threat, but his raiment was white and pillowy and he peacefully attended me as I observed to the side of me concrete infrastructure that was being dismantled with primitive hand tools, the broken debris of which was being handed down from this structure in a basket, hand to hand, or possibly by rope. Its interpretation you have to admit, is not exactly rocket science. Give 'er a try
I in no way intended to say or imply that humans had any natural ability to predict earthquakes. If you're willing to accept this, we can move on.
Wayne, I bet staying away from this web site yesterday was more difficult than you expected - step by step, inch by inch.......
Nevertheless, I gave an honest answer based on the rational perspective of someone who's interpretation of events is not predicated by a desire to have his world view validated by god.
And of course I spent the next couple of days on an adrenelin rush, like a chicken with his head cut off, wondering what in the world I was supposed to do about it. Awsome.
I misunderstood what you were asking me the first time, I'm sorry about that. I would tell them about the gospel of Jesus Christ, and that he is the only God worthy of their devotion, and to ignore the myths from their false gods. I would depend on the Spirit of God to support what I testify to them more than I would depend on my ability to disuade them their error.
Quote from: WayneHarropson on February 06, 2013, 11:09:48 AM...tell me what the incident would have meant to you if it had happened to you.So what did the incident mean to me? Very little, truth be told. A daydream that shared a couple of similarities with later events (which happens quite a lot), but for which the number of differences means I could not regard it in any way prophetic. What it DID do was give me a very cool story to tell, which (as is often the case with stories told to others) I would probably polish and embellish over time. It would be "my earthquake story", and possibly in time I might even come to believe it a little myself....but when I look back carefully on it, I can see that there was nothing really inexplicable about the experience at all.
...tell me what the incident would have meant to you if it had happened to you.
And of course I spent the next couple of days on an adrenalin rush, like a chicken with his head cut off, wondering what in the world I was supposed to do about it. Awesome.
And what you decided to do was come to an obviously atheist website and talk about it for 25 pages? That's the best you could come up with? Really?
Here's what I'm thinking Wayne - I have two operating theories going here. I'm betting you've tried this out at theist sites, and gotten one of two reactions, and ultimately, those reactions led you here. Follow along please...
Hypothesis 1: You tell your stories and get some credulous people ooh-ing and aah-ing over your amazing proof of the existence of God. They encourage you to share your story with others, you set up a feedback loop of reinforcement from other believers, and suddenly, you think you're ready to tackle the toughest theist crowd, the atheists.Flaw in this plan: we're not credulous, and we start from a position of dis-belief. You're not working with reinforcement, you don't know how to tailor your message to your audience, and you don't understand empirical evidence.
Hypothesis 2: You tell your stories and get a few people doing ooh/ahh's, but many are dismissive - your fellow believers aren't giving you the appreciation you think you deserve, so you aim for a different audience altogether - nonbelievers! We're dumb enough to think GOD doesn't exist, there's no way we can possibly withstand the strength of your convictions as you set us straight!Flaw: we're not credulous, and we start from a position of dis-belief. You're not working with reinforcement, you don't know how to tailor your message to your audience, and you don't understand empirical evidence. And you're really, really arrogant.
Our share in the responsibility:we continue to patiently correct your mistaken ideas of who and what atheists are, we answer your questions while repeatedly requesting that you do the same and answer ours, we indulge your need for attention while you: condescend to all of us, insist that we accept at face value extraordinary claims with no empirical evidence to support them, and endlessly promote your personal website. We should stop helping you promote your particular brand of BS.
I think you're trying to take advantage of the popularity of this website to promote your own by keeping your name attached to the topic. Very christian of you, sadly. Shameless, Wayne, absolutely shameless*. Your god told you not to do this - I hope your fully prepared to explain yourself to him when the time comes.
Now, that makes me want to expound on the vision in a way to distinguish it from an idle imagination.
WaynePerhaps you don't know this, but it may be relevant.It is quite common for memories, especially memories brought up over and over, to end up being distorted, sometimes to the point of becoming complete fictions, because each recollection of the event starts becoming a recollection of the previous time the event was remembered, and not the actual original memory. The more a memory is recalled, the less accurate it is. Your many dozens of retellings of the earthquake tale and other stories invited further error. You could easily be telling us what you remember as the whole truth, while telling us something that is a complete fabrication, without even knowing it.How often are human memories actually accurate? Virtually never.http://www.redorbit.com/news/science/1112697785/human-brain-memory-telephone-game-092012/
Do you agree that if your first premise (God exists) is wrong, then each and every event that you've written about or talked about with relation to God could be explained solely as coincidences and possibly uncommon, yet mundane events?
I know that, to you, it seems like with ALL the stories you've written, that at least ONE of them HAS to be more than coincidence, but think on a smaller scale... event by event. Pick any of your events you want and analyze it. Even the earthquake one...
Could it have been a coincidence that you were in Paul's restaurant at the time of an earthquake? Could you have coincidentally sat in the same spot in a restaurant you frequented?
Could you have had a very strange and astonishing vision like millions of other people around the world have every day? Could you have been talking to someone about Pat Robertson and said a word that doesn't really have anything to do with earthquakes when an earthquake happened? The answer is yes to all of them, Wayne. Yes to all of them.
The question is not one of prosyletizing to these people. It's one of recognizing that you are, in effect, no different from them.
For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.Romans 14:11
The day I had the vision even after the vision, I wasn't thinking of an earthquake. Now that's the part you have to imagine to think what you would do. Let that disruption I described play out with no thought of an earthquake. See when you do it that way you can absolutely rule out that I just got lucky thinking of an earthquake then one happening. Thinking of an earthquake and then having one happen would have been a cooincidence with an uncertain corelation. Mine, the one I'm asking you to imagine living out, was so much more remarkable than that. I was in what you could call a trans while the eggs went cold, and NOT thinking of earthquakes. I was brought back to the same exact seat, and it played out, to my surprise, as an earthquake. <snip>See, there is a distinction here.
I am only diffeent rom them in that My God is the one they will be bowing to when they discover the true God. I know it now, you and they will know it later. Otherwise were the same. God is just, I trust his judgement.
Now, that makes me want to expound on the vision in a way to distinguish it from an idle imagination......Paul's was a place I would frequent no more than once a week, if that, during that time. It wasn't unusual for me to be there but it could be said that to frequent it twice in three days was very rare. .....That vision was astounding. I had never had anything happen like that before. I had had things just as amazing happen but nothing quite like this vision. I knew it meant something and I wanted to know more or I wouldn't have likely gone back to the restaurant that soon. So I was, on Oct. 1, "returning to the scene" out of curiosity and it was providential that the same seat was unoccupied, but I went back with intent to sit in the same spot, because I was still fixated on that vision, hoping to discover more. Man did I!
I intended to sit in the same place and it was ready waiting for me, that by itself is no big deal.... but who was sitting next to me? It gives me shivers to recall it all. Every single detail has it's own wonder.
My 5K was great, thanks for asking Anfauglir .
What I asked you, was how DID you determine that? What makes you so positive that that you have no ability to predict earthquakes?
The point, I suspect, is this - that you are saying that YOU are not the earthquake predictor, but rather than your god is. And that is where the correlation/causation thing comes in.
So you have asserted here that there is no causal relationship between your ability to predict earthquakes, and sciences.But how do you know that, Wayne? How can you state it so certainly? How - if you'll excuse me banging the point home - do you determine if two things have a causal relationship, or not?
The more of these incidents kind of pile up in my dossier, the less apt I am to trouble myself with statistical analysis, and I think you can understand why in my case.
It would be awfully flattering to me that he would have said, I'm going to blow Wayne's mind and cause an earthquake for his sake when he says the word IMPACT. Alternatively he, being omniscient, knew the precise moment and simply got me up, put me in the car, guided me to Paul's, had those ladies waiting, and a seat open, then gave her the idea to talk about Pat Robertson, had me respond at precisely the time that the earthquake had been scheduled for the millenia. The second scenario is a little less flattering to me and so that is the one I tend to believe.But I have to be careful, because I don't want to limit God's power to say that he didn't just line up the earthquake with my words. He did break the diaphragm on my gas pump spontaneously, (or made sure that the batman movie and that particular Colorado screening of it waited until my gas pump was ready to fail). See the problem?
Mine, the one I'm asking you to imagine living out, was so much more remarkable than that. I was in what you could call a trans while the eggs went cold, and NOT thinking of earthquakes. I was brought back to the same exact seat, and it played out, to my surprise, as an earthquake. And of course I spent the next couple of days on an adrenelin rush, like a chicken with his head cut off, wondering what in the world I was supposed to do about it. Awsome.
BTW, I would posit that the best thing about being a retroactive prophet is that you get to decide at your leisure which events your visions foretold, whether they happen 2 days or 23 years later. Make a prophecy general enough and apply it to an unrestricted timeline and you pretty much have a recipe for success, don't you?
Wayne,as Anfauglir stated,it could be Satan steering you away from God,as Satan rules the earth right now. Why would you dismiss this possible scene?

New Jersey Devils managing partner Jeff Vanderbeek has taken sole ownership of the team after refinancing its approximately $78 million debt and buying out his partners' 53 percent stake in the organization.
In the team's announcement of the deal, Vanderbeek said the Devils' "future is now secure, and we can be confident of continued on-ice success."
"The organization believes that its successful refinancing during a work stoppage demonstrates the strength of the Devils franchise and the Prudential Center, enabling it to continue to execute on its business plan," the team said in the announcement.
In addition to completing the refinancing plan, which included paying down a portion of the team's previous debt, Vanderbeek and his affiliated entities purchased the 47 percent stake of Brick City LLC — which was headed by Mike Gilfillan and Ray Chambers — and the 6 percent share held by Peter Simon.
A spokesman for Devils Arena Entertainment, of which Vanderbeek is chairman and the sole shareholder, deferred questions to the news release.
In a prepared statement, Gilfillan said "Brick City's involvement with the Devils was to make professional sports a catalyst for economic development in downtown Newark," and it "feels we have accomplished that goal, with Jeff as our partner." A spokesman declined to discuss the deal beyond those prepared remarks.
The Record first reported the deal upon receiving the team's news release, which was distributed to Devils fans this afternoon.
Patrick Hobbs, dean of Seton Hall University's law school, sits on the board of Devils Arena Entertainment, and was a key figure in negotiations between the owners as both sides worked to keep the potential sale of the team out of the courts. Hobbs could not be reached for comment.
CIT Group acted as the lead arranger for the refinancing of the team's debt.

The food bank business
The food bank business
Three weeks before they were put on display at the Canton Food Pantry, these Hubbard squash were still on the vine at Ward's Berry Farm in Sharon. Over the course of 10 days, they were picked, sold to the Greater Boston Food Bank, and then distributed to food pantries.
Jim Ward sells a pallet-size box of Hubbards to the food bank for $200, or about 20 to 25 cents a pound, which he says leaves him a tiny profit.
The Hubbards look heavy but aren't. As harvesting goes, it's not exactly backbreaking work.
Several minutes later, the box is full. "It's more difficult to pick a quart of strawberries," Ward says.
Ward, who is 48 and runs the farm with his older brother, has been growing Hubbards for years.
The farm also chops them up before Thanksgiving and puts the pieces out for sale in the store. They sell some, too, to customers who just want them as decoration in their fall tableaux.
Hubbard squash, most sources suggest, owes its name to Marblehead, where it was brought from the West Indies in the 18th or 19th century. A woman in town, Elizabeth Hubbard, introduced it to a seed enthusiast, the story goes, and thereafter it bore her name.
After picking, Ward stores all his Hubbards in a barn or near the loading docks behind the farm store.
This year, for the first time, the Greater Boston Food Bank began purchasing Hubbards from Ward's Berry Farm in Sharon, thanks to a state initiative designed to link food agencies with local growers.
For Ward, adding the food bank as a customer brings in revenue for the farm, yes, but it's more than that. Like many farmers — and, for that matter, like many who work in hunger relief — he hates seeing food go to waste.
It is, he says, gratifying to see aid organizations like the Greater Boston Food Bank closing gaps between food production and food consumption, between farm and table.
When it's time to deliver them, his employees load them into a big box truck with a yellow school bus hood or into a smaller truck.
Ready for delivery from Ward's Berry farm. At 8:30 a.m. on Monday, September 24, a big cardboard container of Hubbards came into the food bank, got its license plate, and was put into 55-degree storage. Three days later, early on Thursday the 27th, they were moved into the food bank's marketplace, ready for the taking.
Catherine D'Amato is CEO of the Greater Boston Food Bank. In the fiscal year that ended this September 30, the nonprofit distributed 40.8 million pounds of food, a nearly 47 percent increase.
Pallets of food are stacked 35 feet into the air in the humming warehouse, positioned on massive orange racks marked with bar codes and multicolored letters.
Every pallet, every item, every shelf position, every expiration date — they're all tracked with a sophisticated warehouse-management system.
Food bank officials like to say that everything on the shelves — from dry storage, to the 55- and 35-degree areas, to the zero-degree freezer — has a license plate. Every piece of food is accountable.
In the fiscal year that just ended, 10 million of the 40.8 million pounds of food the food bank distributed was produce, the highest share ever. "Twenty years ago? Couldn't move a carrot," D'Amato says. Acquiring, storing, and shipping apples, lettuce, and tomatoes is, of course, more complicated than handing out canned goods. Efficiency, timing, proper refrigeration, and a nimble transport system all become more critical.
When orders come in, they are transmitted wirelessly to Motorola hand-held scanners, which are connected to the warehouse-management system. Food bank workers use them to fill orders and register what they're taking from the shelves by shooting a laser beam at the bar codes.
Linda and Bob Malonson load up their truck for Stoneham Adventist Community Services.
The new management system allows the food bank to tailor online ordering to each agency. Food pantries without freezers, for example, don't see frozen food as an option.
The food bank acquires some items using state emergency food-relief funding, and only eligible agencies have access to them on the site.
If a pantry selects a pickup day that's two weeks away, anything with an expiration date before then doesn't show up.
The software also maintains the agencies' order histories, so they can track what they've selected over time, and lists a nutritional value for every morsel in the warehouse.
The food bank facility is 117,000 square feet. Twenty thousand volunteers served at the food bank in the fiscal year ending September 30.
On September 27, Cindy Poshkus and two fellow volunteers from the Canton Food Pantry picked up their 4,500-pound order, a sliver of the 225,991 pounds the food bank would distribute that day. Poshkus, the Canton Food Pantry's co-director, hadn't ordered the Hubbard squash beforehand. "I was hesitant to take them," she says, not sure her customers would bite. More than 375 families now rely on the Canton Food Pantry. Four to seven more sign up every week.
One morning, the most talked-about item at the Canton Food Pantry was a pile of blue-green Hubbard squash, looking like bloated, gnarled footballs, waiting for brave souls to bring them home.
Twenty-seven people went to the Canton Food Pantry that day, and when it was over, three of four Hubbard squash were gone.

HTPC Update #1: Hardware Headaches and Menu Tweaking
I've been living with my HTPC for just over a month now, and I've come up with enough new observations to warrant a new installment (well, maybe enough to fill a bunch of articles) so. . . behold!
Been setting up your own living-room computer? Read on for my latest tips, tricks, and plain old complaints. I think most of you will find some of these useful. And some of you - I hope - will find most.
Receivers: Assigning Those #!$% Inputs
What is the deal with receivers? Read that again in Seinfeld's voice, if you didn't already. I've had three different receivers through my system in the past month (it was a busy month), and each one was differently lame.
I'm not doing HDMI audio with my HTPC yet, so here's what I needed to do: Assign the multi-channel analog input as the audio for an HDMI input. That doesn't seem hard, does it? I can understand inexpensive receivers not having reassignable inputs, but one wouldn't allow any analog audio with an HDMI input. It wasn't in the menu. Another wouldn't allow the multi-channel input to have HDMI video (stereo analog only). The Onkyo I have in there now lets you assign an HDMI input to the multi-channel input, but only if you enter the setup screen after you've selected DVD/BD input. I figured that one out by accident. I'm no fan of HDMI, but it sure makes a case for itself with this nonsense.
This is a rant for an entirely different article, but how is it, 30+ years after the advent of receivers, that they still are so staggeringly user unfriendly? If I have to pick up the owner's manual to figure something out: product design fail. Have you ever read an owner's manual from Apple? Didn't think so. Point proven.
Audio Setup: Learing to love Vista
Being a couple of years old, my HTPC is running Vista 64. I never understood the hatred of this operating system. Once you turn off all the Microsoft stupidness, it worked fine and was very stable. Well, at least in this computer. The store-bought work PC I'm writing this on inexplicably takes 10+ minutes to boot up every morning. The HTPC? Two minutes, maybe. That was the first store-bought desktop computer I'd purchased in 10 years, and likely the last.
Where was I? Oh, I haven't played around with Windows 7 yet, but in Vista the audio setup is kind of buried. Usually you can right-click on the little speaker icon in the lower right and select "Playback Devices." For some reason, the HTPC didn't have this option, so I had to dig for it in the "Control Panel" under "Hardware and Sound" and then "Sound." You need to do this to get it to output 5.1 channels, and there's a handy channel test that showed me all the connections I'd made were backwards

A scherenschnitte (paper cut) valentine at the museum is being featured in the February 2013 issue of the magazine Early American Life.
WAYNESBORO — Valentine's Day is being celebrated a little early at Renfrew Museum.
A scherenschnitte (paper cut) valentine at the museum is being featured in the February 2013 issue of the magazine Early American Life.
"This ring is round and hath no end, so is my love for you my friend" is at the center of the 13-by-12-inch valentine, given to Elizabeth Zody by an unknown suitor around 1830.
Lines of love
Not much is known about Elizabeth, except that she was one of eight children born to Conrad and Anna Summers Zody of Waynesboro and married Hiram Snider, according to Bonnie Iseminger, executive director at the museum.
The valentine, which hangs in the stairwell that leads to the second floor, was donated to the museum around 1980 by the Alexander Hamilton Memorial Free Library, Iseminger said.
"One has to wonder how Elizabeth received his workmanship," observed Bob North in a brochure about the valentine.
"Consider our nameless young man as he sits down to work," added North, who manages the "Traveling Trunk" a hands-on show of artifacts from the museum that he takes to area senior centers.
"Carefully he would fold and make repeated folds in a thin white paper. Even more carefully, he would make repeated and intricate cuts to produce a lacework of hearts, when the paper was unfolded. Upon this white paper he would painstakingly pen his lines of love," North said.
"My love you are rare and hard to beat, you are everyway compleat," is another of the 21 messages on the valentine. "The writing is what makes it such as interesting artifact," added North.
In the magazine
This is the second time Renfrew has been spotlighted in the magazine, a national publication with a circulation of 100,000 that focuses on the colonial and federal periods of American style, antiques, architecture and history.
The piece in the July/August 2012 issue focused on Renfrew's museum house, which just turned 200 years old. Twenty-five pages were devoted to Renfrew, complete with photographs of many of the rooms in the museum house. The captions provide detailed explanations of the objects at Renfrew, the first time that much of the information has appeared in print.
In April 2012, the magazine's publisher, Tess Rosch, and writer and photographer Winfield Ross visited Renfrew from Shaker Heights, Ohio, and spent most of the day with Iseminger and board member Dade Royer, who will succeed her when the executive director retires Dec. 31.
"They also focused on the adult cradle from the Snow Hill Room from Snow Hill Cloister in Quincy. It was used by an aged woman who had debilitating arthritis ... to help her with her pain and sleeping they rocked her," according to Iseminger. "They took photos of it in April and that will be in a future edition."

Van Damme Collection (US - DVD R1)
Gabe is hypnotized by the silliness of Brussels' finest gluteus maximus...
LionsGate home video acquired the rights to Artisan Entertainment's video library in 2003, and in turn acquired the rights to Carolco Pictures, Live Entertainment, Vidmark, Trimark, and Vestron's video libraries. One might assume the horror hungry studio might get going on a special edition of Peter Jackson's Braindead (called Dead/Alive in these parts), or cult favourites like Waxworks, Class of 1999, Life Force, and Lair of the White Worm. I don't know, maybe they could get on that special edition of From Beyond we heard about so very long ago. Maybe an unrated version of Total Recall? Perhaps a widescreen copy of Ginger Snaps? Nope, the folks at LionsGate seem content to just re-release Artisan's Jean-Claude Van Damme DVDs. Lucky us.
Maybe I misunderstand the rights issues for these films, and maybe I misunderstand the supply and demand facts of Van Damme's filmography, but this kind of seems like a waste of time to me. Wouldn't Van Damme's fans already own these discs? I suppose repackaging is a cheap way of double-dipping, and LionsGate doesn't stand to lose any money on the deal, but the whole release strikes me as kind of silly, but that might just be because I'm suddenly stuck watching three of the Muscles from Brussels 'best' motion pictures.
When Rocky Balboa's friend and trainer Apollo Creed is killed in the ring by the brutal Ivan Drago, Rocky decides to train even more and beat Drago...what? What's Rocky IV? Oh, oops, my bad. Let me start over. Eric goes to Thailand to take on the country's most brutal fighter. He travels with his lover, Kurt, who looks up to...what? They're brothers? Are you serious? Oh. Jeeze, I'm not doing so well am I? Um, anyway, when Eric is beaten and paralyzed in the ring, Kurt, the raging Belgium decides to train...what?! He's suppose to be an American? No, maybe a Frenchmen or...you swear? An American. Huh.
Kickboxer is exactly the kind of medium budgeted action movie one might expect from the late '80s. It's brutally unoriginal, it pretends to have interest in a non-American culture (but really doesn't), it's crammed full of montages, the characters don't require names but titles (boss bad guy, tough bad guy, second in command bad guy, old man who trains, arrogant 'American', jive talkin' black dude, etc), and can be summed up in a single sentence—guy loses fight, guy's brother trains for vengeance, vengeance is served. Oh, there's some 'spiritual' gobbly-gook thrown in to appeal to the intellectual crowd, but really it's all a big pile of garbage.
But what a joyous pile of garbage. I'm pretty sure I've seen Kickboxer before, but I could very easily be confusing it with just about any other Van Damme flick, or about a million other flicks from the era. I enjoyed the film for this uncanny familiarity, and had fun counting off the numbers a they ticked by. The musical parts are the most entertaining bits (there's an 'I'm sad about my brother' musical montage, about three separate training montages, and an unbelievably hysterical dance scene), but the insanely evil bad guys and their hilariously obvious tactics (they rape the girl, they cripple the 'brother', they even stab the dog) are pretty great too. Easily one of the most unintentionally hilarious films ever made. The best part? It took three directors to bring this to the screen.
Universal Soldier
Add Robocop to The Terminator, divide by Van Damme, multiply by Dolph Lundgren, subtract one studio on the road to bankruptcy, add the square root of Platoon, and divide again by a young German director on his way to superstardom, and you get Universal Soldier, probably the closest thing to a 'good' movie on Jean-Claude Van Damme's imdb.com page.
Before he was making half good movies (usually the first half, where cities are being destroyed) Roland Emmerick was expertly filming JC's naked butt in loving close-up. Universal Soldier shares quite a bit in common with Paul Verhoven's RoboCop, beyond the whole 'recycled soldier' plot. Both films represent the Hollywood débuts of their European directors, and both directors would go onto Sci-Fi/Action super-stardom. Both films were made as studies of American action cinema, and both films were relatively popular. The difference is that one film ( RoboCop) was an ironic comedy in disguise and was a true screen original, where the other film ( Universal Soldier) was a retread, not very good, and wears its sense of humour on its blazing red sleeve.
I coulda sworn I'd seen the movie before, but I must've only caught it in bits and pieces on TV because I know I'd remember seeing Dolph Lundgren chopped to shreds in a hay bailer (and the next person that tells me my favourite Italian horror film is sick better not have this in his or her collection). The film is perfectly entertaining, if not entirely (purposefully?) stupid. It contains plenty of violence, but not enough nudity (at least not of the feminine persuasion, though that may be Emmerich's point). I'm impressed with its vulgarity, but not amazed. Besides spectacular action set pieces (which the movie has plenty of), late '80s/early '90s vulgarity is really the only reason to watch such a film.
My favourite thing about Universal Soldier is Dolph Lundgren. I made fun of Dolph with the rest of them back in the day, but when I rewatched The Punisher and saw I Come in Peace for the first time in a row I had a change of heart. You know what? For an action guy with precious few lines Dolphy is pretty damn good in my book. He's defiantly better than Van Damme, and probably deserved Van Damme's career more than Van Damme did. Not to mention the fact that he's got a Masters in Molecular Biology, had a Fullbright scholarship to M.I.T., he's a real life Karate champion, and he speaks Swedish, English, German, Japanese and some French. And he gets hay bailed to death in this movie! What else could you want?
The final and most brutally convoluted film in this set features Van Damme as a very bad mom and baby killer who has successfully evaded capture for years. In a last ditch effort to catch him, and as a test of new cloning technology, a secret government lab engineers a 'replicant' of the killer, complete with psychic abilities and shared memories. But can special agent Michael Rooker trust this clone, or will the new Van Damme end up a murdering psychopath like his 'brother'?
I've already made it pretty clear that I'm not much of a Van Damme fan, so the thought of watching one of his STV films is not one I'm likely to get too excited about. The plot synopsis didn't do much to lift my spirits. The fact that this was a recent film also hurt. When I finally got around to sticking the damn thing in my DVD player three things struck me immediately—Van Damme is playing a shockingly convincing bad guy, Michael Rooker is playing a shockingly convincing good guy, and most importantly, the film is directed by one Ringo Lam.
Lam is the director behind two of Hong Kong action cinema's greatest films, City on Fire and Full Contact, both staring Chow Yun-fat at his very best. City on Fire was the basis for Tarantino's debut [/i]Reservoir Dogs[/i], and Full Contact rivals even John Woo's finest work. Lam also directed Jackie Chan as duplicates in the halfway decent Twin Dragons, so it seems he has the right credentials. I figured I had to give the film a chance, despite the fact that my other Hong Kong directing heroes, John Woo and Tsui Hark, had made nothing but crap ( Face Off being the sole exception) when they finally made the move to the West.
The story is super convoluted (and super lame, not to mention super unoriginal), but Rooker, and again, surprisingly Van Damme (as both the man dog and the villain) are pretty good, and Lam's overall direction solid enough to entertain. Those expecting an action packed stunt-fest will probably be a little disappointed, as will those expecting a serial killer film equivalent to Silence of the Lambs, though that really should go without saying based on stars and budget. An average film overall, and not one to shake any non-fans out of contention, but better than expected.
Kickboxer is presented, curiously enough, in 1.33:1 full frame. I took the liberty of matting the film when I watched it by zooming in on my widescreen television. After doing this I noticed nary a single cropped head. The transfer's biggest problem is that it's washed out. Details dissipate with the background, and blacks aren't very rich. Colours are hit and miss throughout, and there are a few artefacts here and there. In short, not a great transfer, about a good as the average television presentation.
Universal Soldier looks awful at the outset; the studio logos are filthy and riddled with artefacts. Fortunately things clear up a bit after that. The transfer is grainy, and blacks could be a bit richer, but most details are sharp and the film's blue hues look awfully, um, bluey. Blocking is rare, but darker backgrounds are still a bit stifled.
Replicant is the newest film in the set, and not surprisingly looks the best overall. Detail is sharp in spite of some grain. Ringo Lam's neon colours shine nicely, and blacks are effectively deep. During darker scenes things kind of become muddled, but well placed highlights make sure this doesn't become too much of a problem.
To match the bland video Kickboxer features an average surround audio track. Made-for-television Surround is the name of this game. Everything sounds satisfactory, except the music, which is awful. Have you ever noticed that bad electronic pop scores from the late '80s/early '90s are totally tolerable until someone starts singing? Universal Soldier was made around the time of the 5.1 inception, so it sounds pretty good overall. I'm not impressed by the bass levels, but I noticed more than a few surround channel effects, and fidelity is fine. Replicant is pretty aggressive for a STV feature, especially during the bigger action scenes and the more Sci-Fi related scenes. Bass is reasonably heavy and dialogue is centred and clear.
The only special edition here is Universal Soldier, the other two discs are mostly bare bones. Kickboxer is entirely dry, but Replicant has a few extras, which I'll start with. First up is a commentary with JC and Michael Rooker, which has been edited from two separate sittings, so the two actors don't get a chance to bounce off one another. Rooker is a bit talkier, but even with Van Damme's help he seems unable to fill up the film's runtime. Van Damme also has a habit of repeating himself. The disc also houses eight deleted scenes, which are pretty much all easy throwaways. They offer little to the already paltry plot, and would've slowed the already faltering movie to a crawl. The storyboards included on the disc are interesting in that they aren't very well drawn. Factually they're downright difficult to decipher.
Now onto Universal Soldier, which again, is a reprint of the special edition already available. The commentary track features director Roland Emmerich, co-writer Dean Devlin, Dolph, and JC himself all edited together. Only Emmerich and Devlin share a microphone, and they pretty much rule the track, Dolph and JC interject every once and a while. The track is entertaining, as the filmmakers seem to kind of think the film is crap and take the piss out of it over and over, but even with three tracks edited together there's still a lot of empty space.
The making-of documentary, 'Guns, Genes and Fighting Machines: The Making of Universal Soldier' is a nice companion piece to the commentary, and covers much of the same ground. Those that don't want to sit through an entire commentary track will end up almost as knowledgeable about the making of the film just watching the brief (less than twenty minutes) doc. The second featurette is called 'Tale of Two Titans', and gives us a brief history of stars Van Damme and Lundgren. It's really a lot more entertaining than it has any right to be.
The disc and set is finished up with an alternate ending and trailers. The alternate ending is pretty much the same as the used ending, but slightly less spectacular, and much bleaker.
I'm going to speak the unspeakable and say that I'm simply not that impressed with Jean-Claude's ass. It sits too high on his body, and is too heart shaped, like a woman's ass should look. Maybe I'm not the best judge of dudes' asses, but I can't live a lie just because it's the 'cool' thing to do.
And I leave you with an excerpt from the best scene in the collection:

text: The Greek translation of the Hebrew ' sheol', which is the dwelling place of the departed who continue a shadowy existence (Eccles. 9: 10). There was a legend (Isa. 38: 10; Matt. 16: 18) that entry into Hades was through gates, and Christians supposed that the keys were in the possession of the risen Christ (Rev. 1: 18), Hades is not a place of torment in the OT—except for its appalling boredom (Ps. 88: 12), but in the NT physical pain seems to be envisaged upon their deaths for some (Luke 16: 23), certainly for unrepentant sinners (Mark 9: 48) and for them the word 'Gehenna' in a metaphorical rather than the original geographical ('valley of Hinnom') sense, is used in the Greek (e.g. Mark 9: 43, 48). 'Hades' (Rev. 20: 13, 14) and Death are regarded as a demonic realm and associated with the sea (cf. Mark 5: 13). Those who had died at sea could not be buried and therefore could not get through the gates of Hades. However, when the purpose of God is fully achieved, both Death (the Last Enemy, 1 Cor. 15: 26, 54) and Hades, where the already dead repose, will surrender their populations, with the establishment of the eternal reign of God.

Logan (Utah)
Earth : North America : United States of America : Southwest (United States of America) : Utah : Wasatch Front : Logan (Utah)
Logan[4] is a fair-sized town and is growing rapidly, located in the Wasatch Front region of northern Utah. The town is home to Utah State University, a state school with approximately 23,000 students. Logan offers a wealth of outdoor activities, including some excellent hiking, mountain biking, sport climbing, kayaking, fly-fishing, and skiing. Luckily, Logan remains relatively undiscovered, so many of these activities can be experienced in far less crowded conditions than those found in other, similar areas of the US.
Cache Valley has very unpredictable and extreme weather compared to the urban centers of the Wasatch Front. Winters are very cold, with daytime temperatures rarely getting above freezing and overnight lows frequently dropping below 0F (-18C). Snow is less frequent than in Salt Lake City but the individual storms are usually larger. Cache Valley also has one of the worst inversions in the state, in which cold, moist air and pollutants can become trapped in the valley. A simple five minute ride up any of the cayons will get you out of the inversion and into some of the most beautiful winter mountain landscapes in all of Utah. Spring and Fall are wild and feature frequent temperature changes with possibilities of snow as early as October and as late as May. Summer is cooler than in Salt Lake City but still hot, with daytime temperatures generally ranging from 75F (24C) to 95F (35C) - they rarely reach above 100F (38C). It is, however, far enough north that it avoids most of the summer thunderstorms. Although the city is cozy and the surrounding terrain is spectacular, the unpredictable weather is a turnoff for some. Others find the changing weather enjoyable and enjoy spend time outdoors taking in the many recreactional oppertunities throughout the valley and its many canyons.
Get in
Drive north on I-15 from Salt Lake City. Take exit 362 (Brigham City), and follow US 89/91 through the mountains (unofficially referred to as Sardine Canyon) into Cache Valley. The drive should take about 75-90 minutes. US 89 and 91 split in downtown Logan. US 89 heads east through the beautiful Logan Canyon to Bear Lake, a popular tourist destination, while US 91 heads north into Idaho. A regional airport also serves Logan although no commercial commuter flights are available at this time. Alternately you can also take I-15 N and take Exit 351 for Willard. The short UT126 section branches off towards US-89 for Logan and Ogden. Keep left at that fork and follow the road till you reach Brigham City and then the right lane will lead you towards Logan. This route is 7 miles shorter and a more comfortable drive with very little traffic.
Get around
Driving, riding the bus, walking, and cycling are convenient ways to get around town. Free municipal buses serve Logan and surrounding communities with a simple route system that radiates out from the transit center every half hour. All buses are equipped to carry two or three bicycles. Main Street is heavily used and often congested but parallel streets often provide faster access within Logan. Utah State University, on the east side of town, sits on the Provo Bench of ancient Lake Bonneville, about 250 feet higher than downtown Logan. This elevation difference is a major deterrent to non-motorized transportation. Streets throughout the old grid part of town are wide, thanks to the admonition of Brigham Young to lay out early Utah cities with streets wide enough to turn a double-team of horses and a buck-board around, so there is plenty of room for cyclists.
Hiking and mountain biking are very popular in the summer but varied elevation change significantly affects outdoor activity seasons. Low, south facing trails like the Wind Caves can often be hiked as early as March, while areas above 9000' are usually not hikeable until late June or early July, maintaining broad areas of snow until August. Temperature varies with elevation as well, usually temps at 8000' are 20F cooler than in Logan, and increasingly colder with elevation gain. Summer hail and rain storms are common in high areas when there is no precipitation in Logan.
Hike the Wind Caves trail. 2.6 mile round trip, 900' elevation gain. The trail winds up the north side of Logan Canyon, through maple groves, to a small formation of caves and arches. Offers a beautiful view down into the canyon as well. Trailhead is ~5 miles up US 89 into Logan Canyon, located on the north side of the road opposite Guinavah-Malibu Campground.
Hike the Naomi Peak trail. 5.8 mile round trip, 1980' elevation gain. Naomi Peak (9980') is the highest point in the Bear River Range. The trail leads through meadows full of wildflowers to the peak, which offers spectacular views of the surrounding peaks and of Cache Valley. Trailhead is located at Tony Grove Lake. Take US 89 approximately 19 miles up Logan Canyon to the Tony Grove turnoff. The lake (and trailhead) are 7 miles from US 89.
More adventurous and in-shape hikers can access Naomi peak from Cherry Creek near Richmond, UT. From Logan drive 13 miles north on US 91 to the town of Richmond. Turn right on Main Street, and go straight until reaching 300 East. Turn left on 300 E and go straight until the road sort of splits, taking a right onto 500 North. The road turns gravel, keep following the gravel road to a parking area, and continue. The road after the parking area is dirt and rocky, but accessible by most vehicles in the summer until a river crossing. High clearance vehicles should have no problem crossing the river, while hikers in cars can start their hike from the river crossing. The trail begins at approx 6000' and climbs east past 9765' Cherry Peak before crossing a basin leading to Naomi Peak.
See also Cache Trails, an online copy of a local trail guide (http://www.logannature.org/cache_trails/canyontrails/), and CacheTrails.org, website for the local trail maintenance organization (http://www.cachetrails.org/)
A number of local businesses as well as some in Bear Lake offer snowmobile rentals. Logan Canyon has four main parking/trailhead areas for snowmobiles (Franklin Basin, Beaver Creek, UDOT shed, and "The Sinks") and there are a number of other areas to start from including Providence Canyon and Blacksmith Fork Canyon near Hardware Ranch. These trailheads offer access to groomed trails, primitive routes, open play areas, and hills. Peter Sinks is one of the top ranked snowmobile areas in the country - generally accessed from the Sinks parking area a few miles north. Logan Canyon trailheads also offer access to trails leading into the Idaho portion of the Bear River Range, providing an equal array of snowmobile activities.
Coffee Shops
Get out
To get out of Logan, you can simply backtrack south on US 89-91 through Sardine Canyon and Brigham city to I-15, or you can continue northward on US 91 through Preston, ID, and eventually return to I-15 about 33 miles south of Pocatello, ID.
You can also head west on 200 North/UT-30. 20 miles to I-15.
Stay safe
Logan has very little crime and has been repeatedly named as one of the safest cities in the country. It is still wise, however, to not forget about the basic tips.
Winters can get very cold in Logan and proper precautions must be taken against the weather. Major snowstorms should also be prepared for, and the winter inversions may aggravate people with respiratory problems such as asthma.

Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert (US - BD RA)
Yes, Gabe did in fact watch this 3D concert, and yes, he did in fact survive...
Let me just preface this by saying I didn't want to watch Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: The Best of Both Worlds Concert, but I felt an obligation to the folks at Disney to at least give it a whirl (after all, these are the people that decide whether or not I get an advanced Blu-ray copy of Wall-E or Sleeping Beauty). I also can't judge the kids of today and their musical tastes, because mine were even worse at their age (or so at least I'm assuming. Hannah Montana fans are like five to ten right?). The first cassette tape I ever owned was the New Kids on the Block's first album (I think it was ironically called 'Hanging Tough'). In honest comparison Hannah Montana frickin' rocks (though her appearance has put Billy Ray Cyrus back into the public eye, which should count against her).
For starters I'm given a choice between the 2D and 3D version of the film. Well that's hardly even a choice is it? Who wouldn't go with the 3D version? A Nazi, that's who, and I love America far too much to risk a boring 2D viewing of the nation's favourite faux rock star. Needless to say, I went with the American choice. Unfortunately this is the old-school red/blue 3D that will give you a blinding headache in ten minutes flat. I was hoping that the new polarized 3D would work in high definition.
The first shock comes about mere minutes into the film. After a single musical number, we cut to behind the scenes footage…in 3D. Wait, what? I though this was a concert film, now it's a documentary? And I'm watching behind the scenes footage in 3D? Ok, I'll go with it.
I don't think it's working correctly. Oh wait, this part isn't in 3D.
The second shock (of only two shocks) comes when I realize Miley Cyrus is actually singing, not lip-syncing. I thought all pop stars lip-synced in concert. Look at her, she's running all over that stage and still singing in (relative) tune. Sure, I can hear her gasping for breath a bit, but that's still very impressive. She's actually a pretty fantastic showgirl (not that kind of showgirl). She engages the crowd better than half the acts I've ever seen on stage. There's no comparing the music, but Miley Cyrus is a regular James Brown. I'm impressed, especially after just watching the Rolling Stones sleep walk through Shine a Light.
It seems that even in high-definition red/blue 3D doesn't really work. I mean, it kind of works, but the colour is sucked out of everything, leaving a red tint in place, and edges lose a lot of definition, especially when something or someone gets too close to camera (the birds-eye of the drummer tossing his drumstick doesn't work at all). Wide shots taken from the back of the stadium looking back at the stage work the best, displaying some real depth into the set, but things coming out of the set just look like a doubled image. The non-3D stuff, and the 2D version of the film, looks pretty much perfect, because it was all filmed using gigantic, state of the art, high-def cameras and appropriately transferred to disc. The only limitations appear when the lighting is less then ideal, which is almost exclusively during the behind the scenes sequences.
It's concert movie, and listening to this DTS-HD Master Audio track sounded a whole lot like being in a concert (though the extra two channels of the 7.1 mix were lost on me). The sound designers mostly leave things natural, as they'd be heard during the concert (unlike Martin Scorsese, who turned up what ever instrument was centred in frame), but they take a couple of effective liberties, such as a pick scrape that rides right to left in the rear channels. The guitars, drums, and vocals are all expertly mixed, but the bass tends to go missing on many tracks. The LFE track is mostly devoted to the kick drum, which pumps without bleeding or warbling. The screaming fans in the rear channels get a little annoying by the second or third song, but they aren't too high on the track.
First up on the extras menu is one Jonas Brother's song that is much more interesting than the ones that made the film, and one addition Miley Cyrus song. This is followed by a sing along option for every song, which is only available in 2D mode. The rather miniscule extras are completed with a basic EPK masquerading as a behind the scenes featurette. I'm guessing the eleven-minute featurette was made for the Disney channel. It's not worthless, especially not to the little ones that should be watching it. Cyrus is sure to make the behind the scenes experience clear to her fans, and makes the difficulty of the process clear.
I'm not the target audience, but I will say that some of Miley Cyrus' songs were effective power-pop and '80s electronica throwbacks, and surprisingly dark. Some even have a cool Spaghetti Western flavour. It's certainly better music then New Kids on the Block. The Hannah Montana stuff was tolerable, but the Jonas Brothers were terrible. The concert itself is a little too bright and shiny for my taste, but the effort put into the stage show, the musicianship, and Cyrus' generally impressive stage presence was enough to make the experience not entirely unpleasant. Now lets just hope her daddy Billy Ray is a better influence on his kid then Dina Lohan or Lynne Spears, and maybe this kid will make something of genuine value when she grows up and gets all angsty.

The annual fundraising gala of the Jersey shore's Meridian Health hospital system was transformed into a Hurricane Sandy event that raised $400,000 last Saturday for disaster relief organizations, and to aid Meridian employees whose homes were flooded by the storm.
"We had a number of folks who were putting sand bags in front of the hospital while their own homes were being washed away," said David Flood, president of Meridian Health Affiliated Foundations. Meridian has six hospitals in Ocean and Monmouth counties — including Riverview Medical Center, in Red Bank, where a sandbag brigade prevented serious damage, Flood said. Other Meridian hospitals sheltered hundreds of residents left homeless by Sandy.
The gala had been planned for months, and normally would have been dedicated to raising money for medical equipment and services. After the storm, the gala's organizers decided to change course and make the gala, which drew 800 attendees, into a Sandy relief event.
"People wanted to come together, they wanted to help the community, and that opportunity was presented through this event," Flood said.
In addition to the $400,000 gala proceeds, Meridian has committed $1 million to a relief fund for those among its 12,000 employees affected by Sandy. Of the $400,000 raised by the gala, $250,000 will be equally divided among United Way of Monmouth County, United Way of Ocean County, American Red Cross Jersey Coast Chapter, The Salvation Army and Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief fund. The remaining $150,000 will provide financial assistance to Meridian's affected employees.
John K. Lloyd, president of Meridian, said, "This is about stepping up to take care of our own community, being an example for others, and hopefully inspiring more organizations and individuals to get involved."

Pioneers put together top finishes at Blue Valley West while Lansing struggles at Baldwin
After two cancellations to begin the year, the Leavenworth track season finally started this weekend.
At the Blue Valley West Spring Classic, both Pioneer squads earned fourth overall. The teams will next compete at the Topeka Relays on Friday.
"We were real pleased with how the kids did," Leavenworth boys' track coach Willis Willmeth said. "We know we have some kids that have some talent, so overall just a good start."
On Friday, it was Leavenworth's John Warren who stole the show. He won first in the triple jump, the 300 hurdles, the 110 hurdles and second in the long jump.
Jeff George was third in the triple jump, Jared Belardo fifth in the long jump and Da'Quan Blake earned sixth in the shot put. Willie Morrison captured sixth in the discus as well.
"We got a great performance out of John and several of the other kids, so we are really looking for some big things this season," Willmeth said.
The Lady Pioneers were led by Rachel Blackburn, first in the javelin, and Daysha Thomas, first in the 400 meters.
Rashayla Mathis won third in the 200 meters and second in the 100, while Lindsay Robichaux was fifth in the pole vault and Madison Schoen won sixth in the high jump.
Rough outing for Lansing
Whether it was first meet jitters, or just the effects of bad weather ruining preparation, Monday's Baldwin meet was not kind to the Lansing track and field team.
"It was probably one of our worse days competing in sometime," Lansing coach Brian Malm said. "We have some people that are not quite in the shape that they need to be, which I hope we have addressed."
"Simply put, as a team, we are not where we thought we would be at this time."
Though the end result was not what the Lions expected, there were several medalists and bright spots for the squad.
The ladies were led by Nashia Baker, first in the 800 and second in the 1,600 meters, and Malika Baker, second in the 800 and third in the 1,600.
The boys saw Jimmy Bormolini get first in the 400, Darius Mathis was first in the triple jump as well as second in the high jump, and JT Hager won second in the 400.
Joe Henry took third in the high jump and Cole Portenier received the same spot in the triple jump.
The grouping of Bormolini, Hager, Lucas Mein and Henry won the 4x100 relay.
"We did have some bright spots, which was good, but overall we have a lot of work to do," Malm said.
Lansing will host a meet today beginning at 3:30 p.m.

To the editor: The top story in Sunday's paper was that some Republicans are against immigration reform because they think it will create more voters for Democrats.
To the editor: The top story in Sunday's paper was that some Republicans are against immigration reform because they think it will create more voters for Democrats. My question is: Why should this matter? Shouldn't our elected officials be voting for or against a bill solely based on what is best for the country?
It seems like lately that votes are always determined by whether or not it is going to get someone elected. Both Republicans and Democrats are guilty. In fact, it's become so commonplace that they don't even try to hide it anymore.
Maybe this is why our country has gotten in the mess it is in. And maybe when we hear about someone voting this way, we should automatically vote them out the first opportunity we get.
To the editor: The shale gas recovery editorial published in the April 20 Times-News gave only brief mention to the "real" reason shale gas recovery hasn't completely taken off as a new energy exploration industry.
The article was selling the boost to the economy, creation of jobs, new industry, fewer emissions than coal, but it only gave brief mention to the environmental disaster that hydrofracturing causes because of the horrible chemical cocktails pumped into watersheds to recover the gas. A few of the chemicals are ethylbenzene, ethylene glycol, glutaraldehyde, isopropanol and methanol. These chemicals are carcinogenic and very dangerous.
After natural gas is recovered, a chemical "brine" comes to the surface, and the industry has no way to treat it. It is stored in unregulated retention ponds. The liners eventually break, and the chemicals absorb into the earth and run into rivers and streams. There is almost no regulation in this industry, and there are regular spills of the chemicals, diesel fuel and other nasties into rivers, lakes and streams. Fines are issued, but they come to late.
Our country is settling for this disaster for the sake of jobs and the economy. Give me a break.
To the editor: First, for full bias disclosure, I joined the board of the Flat Rock Playhouse this past January. But we went to the very first night of "Cotton Patch Gospel," and it was the one of the most enjoyable nights of theater I can remember ever from the Playhouse or anywhere else.
The show was fun, engaging and uplifting. The cast is incredibly talented with the array of instruments they used and the range of Harry Chapin's bluegrass and Southern roots songs.
This production of the 30-year-old musical does great justice to the writer's intent. Clarence Jordan, a Georgia minister himself, and Chapin transport the Gospel of Matthew and Luke and "retell" it in the Georgia countryside in the 20th century to get you to see aspects of the Gospel as revolutionary as it might have seemed to people in Israel first hearing of Jesus.
It also at times is very funny, but with the humor entirely focused on things like "get-rich televangelists" and Southern culture, not a bit of making fun of Christianity. Just the opposite of making fun, as the show progresses, it becomes obvious how much reverence and love Jordan and Chapin poured in to this work.

Law society revokes Garth Drabinsky's license
TORONTO (AP) — Ontario's law society has revoked former Broadway theater mogul Garth Drabinsky's license to practice law.
He and business partner Myron Gottlieb served several years in prison for fraud that resulted in the demise of now-defunct Livent Inc. The company was behind the hits "Phantom of the Opera" and "Ragtime."
The Tony award-winning producers were both convicted in 2009 of two counts of fraud each for a book-cooking scheme. Drabinsky was sentenced to five years and Gottlieb to four years.
Drabinsky, who was called to the bar in 1975, admitted to the Law Society of Upper Canada that his conduct was unbecoming of a licensee.
He had already agreed not to practice law since his fraud convictions, but the law society ordered that his criminal offences mandated revocation of his license.

Below are some tidbits on baseball and sportscard collecting.
Visit our web site for more info on vintage and current
baseball, football, basketball, hockey, sports and
non-sport cards and card collecting.
Like all collectibles, some sports cards increase in value and a few can become very valuable. Determining a card's value is based on a number of factors including the popularity of the player, the card's scarcity, it's condition, and demand among collectors. A card can be scarce but if there's no demand for it, it's value may not be to great.
Q: What are some of the ways to collect cards ? There are several different ways to collect cards. For example, you can try to collect all the cards in a given set. Or you can focus on cards of your favorite team or even just your favorite player.
Some people only collect Rookie cards while others only collect cards of Hall-of-Famers. Because of the high cost of vintage sports cards today a growingly popular way to collect sportscards is "Type Collecting".
"Type Collecting" is collecting just one of each "type" (or different issue) made. To keep costs down, on some of the scarcer more expensive issues you can simply add a less expensive "common" to your collection. While on more common or recent issues you can select your favorite player or a card from your favorite team.
No matter how you collect - the key is to have fun !
1952,1953,1954,1955 Red Man TOBACCORed Man Tobacco issued baseball cards in 1952, 1953, 1954 and 1955, making them the only tobacco company to do so since 1920. The cards are very attractive with a large, painted portrait and a short player's bio on the front. On the back is company advertising. 1/2" tabs at the bottom of each card could be exchanged for a prize. The exchange rate was 50 tabs for one free Big League style baseball cap. Thus, cards with the tabs still intact are much, much, harder to find making them more valuable.
Without the tabs it is difficult to determine which year certain players were issued. It is usually easiest to determine the year by looking at the expiration date on the back. Subtract 1 from the expiration year to determine the year of the card.
Each set is made up of 25 players from each league all personally selected by Editor J.G. Taylor Spink of the "Sporting News". Managers from each league were included in the 1952 and 1953 sets. The 1954 set had four different variations. If you ignore the many variations of the expiration dates, that brings the total to only 208 cards to complete your Master Red Man Tobacco Baseball Card Set !!! Start collecting now !

1963 Fleer BaseballIn an attempt by Fleer to circumvent Topps exclusive rights to baseball cards, Fleer issued their 1963 baseball cards with cookies instead of gum. It is commonly thought that the 1963 Fleer baseball card issue was intended to be a much larger set issued in multiple series but Topps sued Fleer after their first series was released stopping further production. Due to Topps deep pockets Fleer soon pulled the set from the market and cancelled their plans for the remaining series leaving this very, very popular set at just 66 cards plus one unnumbered checklist.
But what a 66 cards !!! The 1963 Fleer Cards are attractive and feature an extremely high percentage of stars. Some of the top stars in the 1963 Fleer baseball card set are Brooks Robinson, Willie Mays, Carl Yastrzemski, Sandy Koufax, Roberto Clemente, Don Drysdale and Warren Spahn.. The set also included 2 very scare Short Prints, Joe Adcock and an unnumbered checklist.
The most interesting card in this set is the Maury Wills Rookie card. Even though Wills started his major league career with the Dodgers way back in 1959 quickly becoming a superstar, his 1963 Fleer card is considered his rookie card ! How is this possible ? Well, back in 1959, 1960 and 1961, Topps did not consider Wills worthy enough to have a baseball card.
As hobby lore has it: Needless to say, Wills was very upset at this slight from Topps. After Wills won the 1962 N.L. MVP award, Topps quickly came a courting but Wills answered with a large "NO". From 1961 thru 1966, Wills prevented Topps from making any of his baseball cards. Wills and Topps finally made up making his 1967 Topps high number short print his first Topps card and also his most expensive card. Adding interest to the Wills baseball card story, Post Cereal released a Maury Wills card in their 1962 set making that the earliest Maury Wills rookie card. Wills was also pictured on a special 1960 Topps card featuring the 1959 World Series. The card features Luis Aparicio stealing 2nd base with Wills pictured trying to make the tag.
Much of the above is true but Wills has said there was no "fued" with Topps and that he simply had signed exclusive agreements with Fleer.
