England boss Roy Hodgson eyes plan to replicate penalty pressure in friendlies
Last Updated: December 26, 2012 10:34am
Roy Hodgson: led England to defeat on penalties at last summer's European Championship
Sky Bet
Football Betting
England manager Roy Hodgson has told Sky Sports News that he wants to see friendly games settled on penalties in a bid to boost England's woeful shootout record in tournaments.
England have won just one of six penalty shootouts in tournament play dating back to their 1990 defeat by Germany in the World Cup semi-finals.
Now Hodgson wants to try to replicate some of the pressure by having a shootout if a friendly ends in a draw.
He said: "Maybe in one of the friendly matches if the game finishes in a draw you should suggest to the opponents that 'let's finish it on a penalty shootout'.
Penalty shootout win percentage
Argentina 73%
Germany 71%
Brazil 64%
France 50%
Sweden 50%
Uruguay 50%
Italy 33%
Holland 20%
England 17%
"It's not a bad idea that, because at least then there is a lot more relevance to a competition at the end of a friendly in front of a big crowd than there is when you are taking penalties day after day in training and watching players quite happily whizz them into the back of the net. And then you have got that long walk with a big crowd."
Hodgson is aware that due to their long history of failure in shootouts, England's players inevitably approach them with trepidation.
He added: "What we can't do, and I think I've said this before - our problem is always going to be we have got the weight of failure with us.
"So anyone making that walk, I don't know how we are going to get it out of his mind... everyone is with bated breath now because we have missed so many... Is it going to happen to us again? We really need to get that right."
England's solitary penalty shootout win came in the 1996 European Championship when they beat Spain in the quarter-finals before going on to lose to Germany in the semi-finals on penalties.
As well as the 1990 and 1996 defeats to Germany, England have also lost twice to Portugal on penalties in the 2004 European Championship and the 2006 World Cup, before last summer's Euros elimination at the hands of Italy in the quarter-finals.

Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer raises record-setting $ 11.1 million Wednesday, June 15, 2011
2879 riders cycle 200-plus km in 3rd annual BC Cancer Foundation fundraiser
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Borjana Slipicevic, Western PR Coordinator The Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer T: 855.500.7778 (toll-free)
Vancouver, June 18, 2011 The BC Cancer Foundation announced today that 2879 participants across British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest raised $11.1 million in the third annual Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer. Since its inception in 2009, the Ride has raised $27.2 million, making it the most successful cancer-related fundraising event in B.C. history. Funds raised for the BC Cancer Foundation from the two-day, Vancouver to Seattle cycling event will support a wide range of research projects and programs at the BC Cancer Agency. With 44 per cent of Canadian men and 39 per cent of Canadian women developing cancer in their lifetime, the Ride to Conquer Cancer has become a powerful call to action for cancer patients, survivors and their supporters. "The funds we have raised together, through the Ride, will advance new knowledge and understanding of cancer. As a result, our colleagues at the BC Cancer Agency will be able to develop improved treatment options for patients across B.C.," said Douglas Nelson, BC Cancer Foundation President and CEO, and third-time rider. "The potential for Ride dollars to change the cancer landscape in B.C. and beyond is immense." Following opening ceremonies at the Fraser Downs Racetrack & Casino in Surrey, riders embarked on the first leg of their journey south across the border and into Mount Vernon, WA, where they will camp tonight. Sunday morning they will continue their journey to the finish line at Marymoor Park in Redmond, WA, just north of Seattle. The majority of the riders are expected to cross the finish line between 11 am and 5 pm. Jimi Brockett, captain of the Riders for Ryders team and a three-year participant, is determined to support the Ride every year. In 2009, Jimi lost his five-year-old son Ryder to brain cancer. "People ask me why I ride. The answer is simple; I ride because I have to. I ride so that one day we can look back on cancer," Jimi said. The fourth annual Ride to Conquer Cancer benefiting BC Cancer Foundation is already planned for June 16-17, 2012. Information and registration for next year is available by phone at 1-888-771-BIKE (2453), or online at www.conquercancer.ca.

VictorySpark, Inc., in association with Milwaukee-based VETransfer has received a grant from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation to launch a seed accelerator focused Veteran-initiated startups.
WEDC is providing a $300,000 grant to VETransfer to invest in the VictorySpark accelerator program.
VETransfer is a Milwaukee-based program designed to assist U.S. Military Veterans start businesses. VictorySpark, it's affiliate, provides one-on-one mentoring, a focused process for starting a business, and seed capital to innovative, high-growth Veteran-initiated startups.
VETransfer founders identified a lack of seed funding for innovative Veteran-initiated startups. "Innovative startups have the greatest potential to create large numbers of jobs and economic growth, so we created VictorySpark to focus on these startups" said Nick Wichert, co-founder of VETransfer and VictorySpark.
Governor Scott Walker has declared 2012 the "Year of the Veteran," and the launch of VictorySpark creates an excellent opportunity for individuals and agencies to demonstrate an action-oriented approach to supporting Veterans.
"Wisconsin is proud to be a leader in supporting veteran-initiated startups by providing those innovative high-growth veteran businesses with seed capital. This support helps fill the void of seed capital that does not exist for veterans launching their businesses," said Governor Walker.
"We are very excited to have the State of Wisconsin as a partner in supporting Veteran entrepreneurs; the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation has been a great supporter of our Veterans and VETransfer," said Greg Meier, co-founder of VETransfer and VictorySpark.
VictorySpark has also joined forces with the Global Accelerator Network, the largest network of high-quality seed accelerators. The collaboration gives participants access to a network of technology startups as well as resources, mentors, and investors.
"Accelerators continue to form all over the world. It's important that those starting accelerators have the best interests of founders in mind and provide as many resources as possible that allow founders to create successful companies," said Patrick Riley, executive director of the Global Accelerator Network. "I'm always excited when I hear about new accelerators forming that take a mentorship-driven approach and provide terms and benefits that accelerate start-up companies' development."
The network aims to create 25,000 new jobs by 2015 while developing a sustainable engine for job creation. Applications are now being accepted for the 2012 Fall Class at http://www.victoryspark.com.

He was Tate Forcier's backup in 2009 as a freshman, but earned the starting nod as a sophomore and earned Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year honors, breaking the school record for total offense (4,272 yards).
With Rodriguez out and Brady Hoke in as head coach, Robinson went through a transition to new offensive coordinator Al Borges' offense but still produced big numbers with 36 total touchdowns (20 passing, 16 rushing) and 3,349 yards of total offense in 2011.
One of the preseason Heisman favorites in 2012, Robinson ended up as an honorable mention All-Big Ten selection as a senior. He passed for only 1,319 yards and nine touchdowns with eight interceptions. He didn't attempt a pass after suffering an elbow injury against Nebraska Oct. 27, missing two games and returning to a hybrid role. Robinson added 1,166 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on the ground on 154 carries.
One of the most athletic quarterbacks in NCAA history, Robinson is being viewed as more of an athlete for the next level by pro scouts. He is an electric athlete with good arm strength and the propensity to make plays out of the backfield, but his inconsistency as a passer is maddening to evaluate and probably will lead to him being projected as a running back or wideout in the NFL.
While he looked natural with the ball in his hands at Senior Bowl practices, he didn't display ideal ball skills, giving scouts the idea that it will take some time as he adjusts to a different position on offense. Although he doesn't have ideal running back size, Robinson appears best suited as an all-around weapon in the backfield and elsewhere, not necessarily limited to receiver.
WEAKNESSES: Extremely streaky as a passer with too many inconsistent decisions, low-percentage pass attempts and messy mechanics. Shows less than ideal attention to detail as a route-runner. Struggles with drops, and allows far too many passes to get into his pads. Fights the ball as a receiver and lacks sharpness in his routes, two areas that need improving before he is ready for the NFL. He also needed help on where to line up pre-snap on several occasions, indicating just how raw he is at the position. Struggled to field punts during Senior Bowl practices.
COMPARES TO: Antwan Randel-El, ex-Pittsburgh Steelers -- With hot/cold accuracy and a frame under 6-feet, scouts are viewing Robinson as a Randel-El-type of prospect and more of a mid-round athlete rather than a quarterback.

New Events & Updates
The International Olympic Committee announced a number of tweaks to this year's London Games, adding some events while removing others, and making alterations to existing events. The changes implemented for 2012 are meant to reflect the IOC's commitment to bringing more women into the Games:
Women's Boxing
Apparently, the Executive Board of the IOC was sufficiently impressed with the overall growth and technical progress of women's boxing that it OK'd the event for 2012. Three women's events will now be featured alongside 10 men's events, displacing one of the previous men's events and adding two.
Modern Pentathlon
Sometimes the IOC acknowledges the need to spice things up in an event. Back in 1996, after more than 80 years of running the modern pentathlon as a five-day event, they finally conceded to making it a one-day extravaganza of exhaustion for the participants. In 2008, after the Beijing Games, the decision was made to combine the running and shooting portion of the event simultaneously, in similar fashion to the combined ski/shooting of the winter biathlon. Controversy reigns in the world of the sport, with people asking if it's still really a pentathlon, or merely a triathlon with a biathlon attached. And for the athletes, it's no small change — they'll likely have to rethink their strategies entirely, from the guns they choose to how they approach their running games.
Canoe Sprint – Women's K1 200m
The International Canoe Federation (yes, really!) requested the replacement of the men's C2 500m with the women's K1 200m, which is perfectly consistent with the IOC's mission to include more women in the Games. It's also consistent with the trend of shorter races, as the men's 500m races have now all been replaced by 200m sprint events. We think this is to cater to the spectators' ever-shortening attention spans.
The big news in the world of Olympic handball is that the placement matches that had previously been part of the tournament have now been eliminated. This shows that cutting to the chase is also an emerging theme for London 2012.
Tennis – Mixed Doubles
This has to be regarded as a pretty exciting development if for no other reason than it provides an event for top-rated men and women to compete on the same field of play — or court of play, in this case. The mixed doubles event will draw from the same pool of players competing in men's' and women's' events, so the number of players will not increase — but the opportunities for medals will.
Returning in 2016
There was a bit of controversy in 2009 surrounding the events that are poised to re-enter the Olympic field. Rather than put the seven events in contention up for a vote by the whole committee, the Executive Board, under the direction of IOC president Jacques Rogge, put forward the following events at the expense of the others, with no explanation given as to why — a decision that irked some of the IOC's members. However it happened, here's what will be new again at the 2016 Games:
Golf (Last Seen: 1904)
The return of golf to the Olympic fold for the 2016 Games has interesting implications: Economically, it's a boon for the course development industry here in the U.S. — they'll be exporting their services to countries that are short on golf facilities and that want to cultivate their players. But in addition to the fact that less-developed countries are likely to be left out in the cold, it's also hard to imagine the best U.S. players approaching the opportunity for Olympic gold with the same zeal that they have for the major championships and tours that take place each year.
Rugby (Last Seen: 1924)
Upon hearing the announcement of the vote overwhelmingly approving rugby for Olympic inclusion in 2016, proponents of the sport nearly went bananas. "We were ecstatic and wanted to jump on the table," former New Zealand player Jonah Lomu told The Associated Press. "It was just fantastic for the game." Somehow, we don't think we'll see men and women on the same playing field in this event, but anything's possible.
Deleted Events: The Controversy
The Olympics wouldn't be the Olympics without politics and the drama of international controversy. The IOC took heat from American athletes for its dismissal of baseball and softball from the roster of events to be featured at the London Games, which also won't feature squash, karate or roller sports. At the time of the decision, IOC president Rogge was singled out for his role in quashing the sports that were deemed "too American" for world competition. "Rogge has basically conspired against the sports to get them removed," American softball pitcher and three-time gold medalist Lisa Fernandez asserted at the time. "I feel one person, the president of the IOC — a person from Europe — has taken it upon himself to ruin the lives of millions, actually billions of women."
The feeling that the Americans had too much of an edge is easy to allege: During the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Americans cumulatively outscored their opponents 51-1. But for the athletes who achieved that victory, having their success used as a justification to deny others the right to compete is a shameful episode. "If [our success] did play a role in the decision, then that's pretty pathetic," gold medalist Crystl Bustos said in the wake of the news. "It's supposed to be the best of the best, and if you get knocked for your excellence, then that's just not right."
Deleted Events Past
The history of the modern Olympics is mottled with events that have had brief moments in the spotlight only to disappear into the dust of the record books. And whether they've been demonstration events or part of the legitimate competitions, it's still amazing, in 2012, to look back and think of some of the fascinating, sometimes downright freakish events that have become part of Olympic history — particularly the one event that never really happened. (Which one do you think it is?):
Two-Hands Javelin (Last Seen: 1912)
No, it wasn't two hands at the same time. In this case, the javelin was thrown twice, from each hand, and the end distances averaged for a final score. Similar variations for discus and shot put existed, as well.
Tug of War (Last Seen: 1920)
Now, this they should definitely bring back — if only as part of the closing ceremonies to settle any leftover grudge matches. A feature of the ancient Olympics, the tug of war in its modern form had two teams of eight striving to pull each other six feet to win. In an ignominious 1908 episode, after America lost to Britain, the Yanks accused their opponents of wearing illegal footwear. So the British challenged them to a rematch in their socks — and humiliated them by winning.
Motor boating (Last Seen: 1908)
Rome's plans to host the 1908 Games were squelched by an inconveniently erupting Mount Vesuvius, but the bigger disaster was arguably Britain's decision, after stepping in to take on hosting duties, to take things out to sea. With top speeds of roughly 19 mph, these races didn't exactly thrill crowds, most of whom couldn't see them, anyway. Famously bad British weather scotched six of the nine scheduled events, after which none were to return to the Olympic forum.
Swimming — 200m Men's Obstacle Course (Last Seen: 1900)
You could almost see them reintroducing this today, in the era of Wipeout!, no? Participants in this race had to clamber their way over both a pole and a row of boats before facing the dreaded third obstacle — another row of boats that they had to swim underneath. With all due respect to the participants, it's almost hard to know whether the French would have been laughing or crying when the British took gold in this one-time event.
Basque Pelota (Last Seen: 1900)
An antecedent to what we know as jai-alai, this extremely fast-paced sport had its only official tournament at the 1900 Games in Paris, though it did reappear as a demonstration sport numerous times, even as late as 1992.
Solo Synchronized Swimming (Last Seen: 1992)
Some of you may remember this ill-fated entry that had a lot of people scratching their heads, wondering, "Synchronized with what??" Well, they meant the music, apparently, but it wasn't enough of an explanation to save this fad-buoyed event.
Rope Climb (Last Seen: 1932)
Part of the inaugural Olympics in 1896 and last seen in 1932, the rope climb was essentially no different from the gym-class nightmare you remember it being. And it was just as difficult: Back in 1896, only two of the participants made it to the top at all.
Live Pigeon Shooting (Last Seen: 1900)
Belgian Léon de Lunden holds the distinction for being the only athlete in modern Olympic history to win a gold medal for killing a living thing — or in his case, 21 living pigeons. In all, some 300 pigeon carcasses piled up during the event's singular appearance with live targets. They were replaced with clay pigeons in St. Louis's Games four years later, and by 1924, the event was gone altogether.
Roque (Last Seen: 1904)
A cousin to croquet played on a hard surface, roque was a curious entry in St. Louis's Olympics that, like the 1900 Games in Paris, were part of the World's Fair. Four participants — all Americans — played against each other, with only William Chalfant walking away empty-handed. (But he made this article!)
Horse Long Jump (Last Seen: 1900)
Horses are powerful and graceful beasts, but someone should have told the IOC of the era that they're also heavy. A horse named Extra Dry took gold at the Paris Olympics with a jump of just over 20 feet. (That's roughly nine feet, four inches shy of the current record for humans.) Does it somehow seem wrong that they gave the medal to his rider?
Poodle Clipping (Last Seen: 1900)
Gotcha! In the run-up to the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, London's Daily Telegraph punked much of the world with a well-timed April 1 piece suggesting that among the bizarre events showcased at the Paris 1900 Olympics was this highly idiosyncratic poodle-clipping event, supposedly won by an "Avril Lafoule," a 37-year-old farmer's wife. The story picked up speed and before long, was being included in pieces like this one all over the Internet. Congrats on a great prank, Britain!

Oklahoma City Barons: Barons' 'Fab Four' closer to spending rest of the season in OKC
Deadline is likely weeks away, but the NHL players' union and owners still have differences to iron out.
Will four young Edmonton Oilers stars — four potential future NHL All-Stars — play for the Oklahoma City Barons all season?
While a deadline probably is several weeks away, the next two days could be pivotal if the National Hockey League is to salvage the 2012-13 season.
Six NHL owners will meet with players on Tuesday. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and NHLPA boss Donald Fehr won't attend the meeting. On Wednesday, owners are conducting a board of governors meeting.
"It seems like it's something new every week," said Barons forward Taylor Hall, who has played in Edmonton the past two seasons. "One week there's hope. The next week there's a lot of doubt whether there's even going to be a season.
"From what I've heard it seems like we're close on some things but at the same time very far apart."
Mathematically, NHL owners and the players union don't seem that far apart. Philosophically, the divide is gigantic as the lockout approaches three months.
There's still time to salvage a shortened 50- or 62-game season. But there's growing sentiment the entire 2012-13 NHL season could be canceled like it was eight years ago.
"When there's been some optimism it's usually gone right back to the negative," said Jordan Eberle, second in the American Hockey League in scoring. "I wouldn't be surprised if it lasted all year. I just try to take my mind off it. My focus is here."
Negotiations continued through mid-February before the 2004-05 season was canceled. This time, the deadline most likely would be a lot earlier.
"It's getting down to the nitty-gritty," said Barons coach Todd Nelson. "Some decisions are going to have to be made the next couple of weeks. If they want to play a season they'll have to start playing pretty soon after New Year's. It will take some time to hammer out the details.
"Who knows what's going to happen? Right now the players here are treating it like they'll be here the whole year. The further it goes on, for obvious reasons, it doesn't look very good."

Below - 2002
Written by Darren Aronofsky, directed by the guy who did Pitch Black (which is good), starring Olivia Williams (6th Sense, Rushmore) with Zach Galifianakis? Yes please.
This movie does not deliver! At all! There's nothing interesting or even weird about it except how boring it is. The only good part is when Zach Galifianakis reads a passage from a book. His delivery says "This movie sucks. I give up."
The premise is that they are on a submarine with a ghost who is really into Benny Goodman? I don't know. Its seems like the parties involved wanted to make a really "classy" genre movie. All the takes are long, everyone is talking about stuff that I don't care about, there's such an effort made to announce that this is an ALLEGORY not just some spooky story with no SIGNIFICANCE as if we fans of sci-fi/horror/fantasy etc don't deserve to be entertained.

Our vision is of a seamless society that redefines what dance is and who can dance. We're inspired by the idea of an inclusive, fully accessible society where the creative talents of all its participants, including those with unique function, can be realised.
We believe that the power of visual language can transcend outdated social constructs and integrated dance performance is an effective means of communicating this ideal.
Rather than overcoming disability we aim to redefine the invisible frames that make up our world and create a society that truly values its diversity.
We produce improvised performances as well as repertory work and specialising in aerial and dance-theatre, collaborating with theatre directors. The company draws strongly from the movement form, Contact Improvisation, a dance practice that emerged in the 1970s.
Touch Compass is committed to exploring movement practices that maximise the uniqueness of bodies rather than pursuing traditional dance aesthetics and conventional beauty. The diversity of physicality and ability among the dancers is regarded as a strength and a platform for creativity.
Since 1999 the company has focused on commissioning works from international choreographers, such as Carol Brown and Jeremy Nelson (2010-2011) and Marc Brew (2011-2012), as well as growing potential within the company through choreographic lab projects.
We hope you will support our vision by coming to a performance, making a donation, or joining our community on Facebook

Marlyn Pitcock, from Forsyth, came Monday and took care of more fall jobs for me, which I appreciated, while the weather was nice for outdoor tasks.

Installation of Gainesville Eastern Star officers is at 2 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 6, dinner served at 1 p.m.
Pastor Danny Norton delivered good sermons at Lilly Ridge Church on Sunday morning and again Sunday evening. For those who fail to come hear him are missing good messages. Our Sunday school classes need more folks coming in, as they are very good and Wednesday evening Bible study is also growing. Come join in the studies.
Paralee Rea had Friday evening dinner with Bob and Betty Arnett.
On Saturday afternoon Paralee joined the Clark Ridge Fire Dept. "chili cook off," bake sale event as a fundraiser. On Saturday night she handed out candy with the auxiliary on the square "trunk or treat" and attended the Clark Ridge Church of Christ Fifth Sunday dinner.
On Sunday afternoon the Free Will Baptist Clark Ridge Church with Ed Smith, pastor, had the nursing home service and Paralee joined them. And Sunday night she attended the congregational singing at the Calvary Baptist Church of Gainesville.
Talk about a busy weekend.
We must remember to turn our clocks back and gain that hour of sleep we lost last April this Saturday night.
Sunday, the 7th will be Lilly Ridge Church bi-monthly dinner, so join us if you can.
Just a thought: "There is no greater loan than lending a sympathetic ear."

Current Events vs. Founding Documents
This column presents facts regarding the United States Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the Wisconsin State Constitution, and various other documents in reference to modern topics. Mark hopes to encourage interest in those works so that others can consider whether our government is practicing within its constitutional limits. In the last category, he may indicate his opinion. Mark is a resident of New Berlin. Readers are encouraged to visit the following sites for more information on the United States Constitution and Thomas Jefferson's views on politics and government.
Federal Lunch Dictate
Entry 160
Current Event
According to FoxNews.com, September 18, 2012
High school students boycott school cafeteria over new lunch restrictions
With new federal guidelines dictating what is served at school cafeterias during lunch time, school districts all over the country have reworked their menus to accommodate the new rules. The changes include serving more whole grains, daily doses of fruits and vegetables, less sugar and salt, and only low- or non-fat milk.
For the first time, school lunches must have age-aligned calorie maximums, capping the amount of calories high school students eat to around 850 calories. The new restrictions all come from the updated Dietary Guidelines for Americans from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and are funded by the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 – legislation promoted by Michelle Obama.
While the changes may seem like a step in a healthier direction, not all students are finding them so tasty. On Monday, about 70 percent of the 830 students at Mukwonago High School in Wisconsin who typically buy their lunch boycotted the school's cafeteria, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. The high schoolers were joined by middle schoolers in the district, reducing the number of lunches sold by half.
According to the Journal Sentinel, the Mukwonago School District is not alone, as many other schools nationwide are also reporting students frustrated with the new rules.
One such student from Mukwonago High, Nick Blohm, said the healthier food is not so much the problem as it is portion size. A 6-foot-3-inch, 210-pound linebacker, Blohm said he burns around 3,000 calories during three hours of football practice and weight training. He's also the class president, and he's taking various Advanced Placement classes. But the new caps, he said, are making it harder to perform both physically and academically.
"A lot of us are starting to get hungry even before the practice begins," Blohm told the Journal Sentinel. "Our metabolisms are all sped up."
Another issue for students at Mukwonago is the new pricing, the Journal Sentinel said. A 10-cent price increase was added to lunches by the USDA in order to make lunches closer to the $2.86 it typically reimburses for students who qualify for free lunches. That increased raised the new lunches from $2.40 to $2.50.
----------------- ------------------ ------------------
According to the Federal government:
Certification of Compliance With Meal
This rule requires State agencies to certify participating school food authorities (SFAs) that are in compliance with meal pattern and nutrition standard requirements as eligible to receive performance-based cash assistance for each reimbursable lunch served (an additional six cents per lunch available beginning October 1, 2012 and adjusted annually thereafter). This rule also requires State agencies to disburse performance-based cash assistance to certified SFAs, and withhold the performance-based cash assistance if the SFA is determined to be out of compliance with meal pattern ornutrition standards during a subsequent administrative review. The intended effect of this rule is to provide additional funding for SFAs to implement new meal pattern requirements, thus increasing the healthfulness of meals served to schoolchildren.
FAILURE TO COMPLY.—Beginning on the later of the date described in subparagraph (A)(ii)(II), the date of enactment of this paragraph, or October 1, 2012, school food authorities found to be out of compliance with the meal patterns or nutrition standards established by the implementing regulations shall not receive the additional reimbursement for each lunch served described in this paragraph.
Federal Government vs. The Constitution
Founding Document
The US Constitution, Amendment 10
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
"When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. (Thomas Jefferson)
We the People:
How can the federal government dictate something over which it has no legitimate constitutional authority? Are we too fearful to assert local liberty? Which is fearfully submitting; the federal government or the school boards?
Students: When the President said "eat your peas", he meant it. Is this closer to liberty, or closer to tyranny?

Heaven In Her Arms Art Block
Added about 1 year ago by bmfritters via Alex Cherry The Heaven In Her Arms print by Alex Cherry depicts the silhouette of a sinister, seductive angel—the exterminating kind. The self-taught, Los Angeles-based artist, whose work has been sold around the world, uses deep, muted tones and expressive, sweeping gestures to communicate a feeling of palpable foreboding. Mounted on a 2-inch-deep hand-stained black frame, this arresting art block print was published exclusively by the art company, Eyes on Walls.

Re: Report Your "Credit limit Increases" Here!
Rivas, you give me hope. Last month my Sam's card got CLD from $300 to $100. However, my JCP card was increased $250 to $1250 and my Lowe's which is joint with my husband got increased from $700 to a CL of $1400 in the same month! How wierd.
Did you push the LUV button too many times? I had a PayPal Buyer Credit account (also GE Money Bank) and I was CLD from $500 to $350. I got mad and closed the account and paid it off. With this account, I hit the LUV button at least once per week. The only other account I have done this to is my Sam's account and BOOM, CLD. My Wal-Mart, JCP, and Lowe's I have only pushed about 1 time every so many months and have gotten increases. I think the computer keeps track and if you look desperate by pushing it too many times, and it does an automatic CLD. I wasn't deperate, I just wanted my line increased. I didn't really need the extra credit. Oh well, I will wait until summer and then try again.

Re: Report Your "Credit limit Increases" Here!
Believe me, I've trying once a month and still no luck. If I did receive a CLI, I would've posted it in the forum.

Re: Report Your "Credit limit Increases" Here!
Dont fell bad, Lowes denied me twice last month and so did Jcpennys and Chevron. I just said ohhh welll, this is another one of GEMB's clown suits they have been putting on me lately. JCPennys know dog-gone-well it is about time for me to get a cli, I have not had one in a while. I am starting to think like AmyB9B, if I keep asking for one, I might get slapped in the face will CLD's.

Re: Report Your "Credit limit Increases" Here!
I feel the same way also. I think it's better if we don't ask for one and wait for them to give us one. Yeah, right!
March 3rd, 2009, 08:24 PM #1180
Re: Report Your "Credit limit Increases" Here!
As a matter fact, I didnt hit it that often and I DO BELIEVE THATS WHAT MIGHT OF CAUSED IT!
07/18/08 Req Increase from $200 to $275.00
10/28/08 Req Declined
11/08/08 Auto CLD from $275 to $190.00
11/29/08 Req Declined
01/31/09 Req Declined
03/02/09 Req Increase from $190 to $265.00
I think you should watch those love buttons unless u know its times for one. They might be doing soft pulls, you never know. Im sure that they did a soft pull, didnt like whatever they saw (assuming high utilz) and declined me and did a CLD.Last edited by RivasGlo; March 4th, 2009 at 07:20 PM.

Re: Report Your "Credit limit Increases" Here!
I believe that's what happened to me on my chevron account i closed. when i hit the luv button and they denied me, I decided to check my account a day or two later and that's when i discovered they lowered my limit.when i pulled my credit report i did noticed that they where soft pulling me every other day for a couple of months on equifax even though my report was clean. I guess since i paid in full every month, they were not making money off of me so they made the move.

How to turn a crap day into a great day. (Taken with Instagram)
Had my eye on this amp for a while now and after the tape deck fiasco I thought I would cheer myself up and go and buy it.
Having a chat to the guy that runs the shop and telling him all about my tape player woes and he said he had a JVC deck I could have for nothing. He didn't know if it worked.
Got home and plugged it in and it works great!
New amplifier sounds amazing as well.
I'd recommend anyone around Brighton to check out Monkey Music Emporium if they are interested in buying any vintage hifi.

Buzz Patterson's Latest Book
Ouch! Buzz Patterson gives a stinging indictment of President Obama and his zeal to undermine the security of our nation. Wow! The retired Air Force lieutenant colonel lets him have it.
I like this guy and devoured his first two books. Now, he has released his latest book, Conduct Unbecoming: How Barack Obama is Destroying The Military and Endangering Our Security. Be sure to check it out.
Read from Human Events:
Obama's Secret Link to Hamas
by Buzz Patterson
"Despite President Obama's speech last week praising our brave men and women in uniform, the ugly truth is that our president is more comfortable cozying up with pro-terror activists than pro-military groups. In fact, Obama has a disturbing history with activists who support Hamas, Hezbollah, the Taliban, and more.
At the time I left my position in the Clinton White House I certainly couldn't have imagined we'd elect anyone more inept than Bill Clinton. Nor could I have predicted that just seven years after we'd been attacked and gone to war, we'd elect the most radical left-wing president in our nation's history. Few seem to have noticed, until recently, that Barack Obama is inclined to dispense with the key precepts our forefathers valued: a robust defense of American sovereignty and our national interest for one; limited government for another; fiscal prudence for a third.
Similarly, few seem to have noticed that our new president is the most radical president in American history, with views more often associated with left-wing banana republic dictators than with a president of the United States.
While many Democrats are naturally inclined to support 'peace movements,' how many have embraced the support, as Obama did, of Jodie Evans of Code Pink whose group not only supports our nation's enemies in time of war but has made it policy to besmirch our nation's servicemen and their families to the point of holding cruel and belittling protests at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center?
Don't know Jodie Evans? President Obama does…and you need to as well. And I carefully document their relationship in Conduct Unbecoming: How Barack Obama is Destroying the Military and Endangering Our Security.
Barack Obama's first major event after announcing his long-shot run for the presidency in February 2007 was a Hollywood fundraiser co-hosted by Jodie Evans that elevated him into the national spotlight. Evans successfully pulled together the rich and the radical in Los Angeles and Obama was on his way to eventual election to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
But Evans is not just a skilled fundraiser with big time connections in the entertainment industry. She is a radical left-wing activist devoted to gutting our military and supporting our nation's enemies. Since 9/11, Evans and Code Pink have set their sights squarely on the U.S. military and damaging America's war against Islamist terrorism. They've been at the forefront of an anti-war effort seeking to systematically undermine the American military and bring about defeat for American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Just a few weeks prior to her Hollywood shindig for Obama, for example, Evans and her Code Pink sisters were in Havana conspiring with Fidel Castro and his government seeking ways to pressure the Bush Administration into releasing the terrorists held at Guantanamo Bay. Evans doesn't draw the line at snuggling up with some of the world's vilest dictators and despots. She's also forged close relationships with murderous terror groups Hamas, Hezbollah, the Taliban, the Sunni insurgents in Iraq, and, the patriarch of all terror organizations, the Muslim Brotherhood.
President Barack Obama isn't deterred however. Rather than distance himself from Evans and Code Pink, he has embraced her support. He even appointed Evans to be a key 'bundler' for his campaign where she collected more than $50,000 in donations for the future president.
The Obama campaign must have been well aware of Evans' past, because the anti-American efforts of Evans and Code Pink are legion."

Doesn't Øbama or his handlers realize that when you bow before the world, The American people and our enemies see this as a sign of weakness and submission?
I guess you have to have a Harvard education to understand international diplomacy and tactics.
Even the Clintons understand that bowing to the worlds dictators and terrorists will not gain America any respect from our allies or detour America's enemies objectives.
Øbama needs to stop listening to that coward and Nazi collaborator Soros. - September 10, 2010 at 9:33 AM

I don't know about a Harvard education personally,since I never attended that university. But it might amaze you, AnonyMouse, to find out the benefits of an education. Go back and get your GED and see if you understand the world any better.

DiogenASS: how does attacking my intelligence have anything to do with the presidents lack of
leadership and the safety of the American People?
I'm not making decisions that affect international diplomacy or national security, so what's your point, moron?
you can spin it until your head pops off, that's not going to change the fact that bowing before the world is a sign of weakness and submission, period!
You're a thumbsucking fool! - September 11, 2010 at 11:37 AM

SImply because you are so uneducated doesn't really make you credible when you denigrate others' education.
Or, in simpler terms you might stand a chance of understanding, AnonyMouse:
"You started it."
And let me also offer you this diagnosis (not an observation):
Seek counseling about this thumbsucking compulsion you have. It's not healthy, and it's evidence that you're emotionally stuck in the oral stage of development. According to Freud, that stage usually ends about 21 months after birth. You've obviously got a lot of development to catch up on. - September 11, 2010 at 1:50 PM
DiogenASS: even if an individual is the dumbest fool on the planet, like yourself, you still can read, can't you?
bow [1] (bou) v. n.
1. to bend the knee or body or incline the
head, as in reverence, submission, or
2. to yield; submit: to bow to the inevitable.
3. to bend or curve downward; stoop: The
pines bowed low.
4. to bend or incline (the knee, body, or
head) in worship, submission, respect,
civility, etc.
5. to cause to submit; subdue; crush.
You would have to admit that bowing is a sign of weakness and submission.
Attacking the messenger, won't change the definition, thumbsucker! - September 13, 2010 at 1:38 PM

"You would have to admit that bowing is a sign of weakness and submission."
No, I wouldn't have to admit that at all.
1. Nowhere in your online dictionary definition is the term "weakness" used or implied.
2. Whileseveral of the definitional options mention submission, they also cite reverence, salutation, respect, and civility. "Submission" is not the only interpretation.
How dare a President show "respect" or "civility" to another world leader! Bush would have fed them a pretzel to choke on, andCheney probably would have shot 'em in the face with his shotgun. - September 14, 2010 at 12:20 AM
DiogenASS: no, there is no reference to weakness, but when you couple submission with an apology tour
that's spells Weakness!
Countries that enjoy true freedom like America that doesn't have Kings or Emperors the president should never bow higher authority or power, so Why would a sitting president bow to a mayor?
Look thimble-brain, world leaders see bowing as a gesture of submission which ultimately is perceived by Americas enemies as weakness, end of story, thumbsucker! - September 14, 2010 at 2:11 PM
- Diogenes said...
When you run out of weak-ass arguments in real life, do you just sayend of story, thumbsucker? Does it work? Because it's not doing anything here!

Some areas of Asia are fast becoming very dependant on steel and its production. China and India especially seem to have a huge apettite for steel in recent years as these nations become more industrialised. As other nations join India and China in this need for all things steel, the entire Asian region is likely to become even more influential in the steel marketplace.
