Collins Bill to Honor Fallen Marine Sent to President's DeskPress Release, State & National March 9, 2018
WASHINGTON—The Senate last night voted unanimously to pass H.R. 3821, legislation to rename Georgia's Clermont Post Office in honor of Zack T. Addington. Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.) introduced the bill this September, and it passed the House in November.
"Lance Corporal Zack Addington represents the selfless courage that's cultivated in northeast Georgia, and I'm excited to see this bill leave Congress and head to the president's desk for his signature," said Collins.
Collins also honored Addington when he spoke about the bill on the House floor.
Known to his neighbors as Zack, Addington joined the United States Marine Corps in 1967. A native of Clermont, he became a rifleman in the 3rd Marine Division of the Fleet Marine Force and deployed to Vietnam that year. Addington was promoted to Lance Corporal and served his country honorably until he was killed in action in May 1968.
That June, Addington received the Purple Heart, National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal and Republic of Vietnam Campaign Ribbon in recognition of his service there.
Speaker Ralston Attends Trump's Infrastructure AnnouncementNews, Politics February 12, 2018
ATLANTA – Speaker David Ralston (R-Blue Ridge) attended President Trump's infrastructure announcement at The White House this morning. Speaker Ralston was one of several local and state elected officials invited to participate in a series of discussions with the President as well as members of his cabinet and senior staff about the plan and the infrastructure needs facing our nation.
"I appreciate President Trump's emphasis on public-private partnerships, as well as rural areas of America, as we look to address the nation's infrastructure needs," said Speaker Ralston. "Much like his Tax Cuts & Jobs Act, this measure will make a real difference in projects of profound economic importance like the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project or long-overdue efforts like expanding broadband infrastructure into rural areas. This is another example of President Trump focusing on creating jobs and expanding economic opportunity across our country. I am honored to represent the State of Georgia at this important announcement."
President Trump's infrastructure plan looks to leverage the power of public-private partnerships to improve the nation's infrastructure including transportation, water/sewer and other critical needs like broadband internet access. More details on the President's plan are available on The White House website at http://www.whitehouse.gov.
Short Takes – DACA and US CitizenshipOpinion, Politics January 24, 2018
DACA and US Citizenship
American citizenship should be earned not awarded for simply being here. That's what laws are for, to give applicants a fair shot at getting in. There is a pathway to citizenship available for those outsiders who apply. Yes, it's hard and lengthly but, so what? On top of that, Democrats defending Obama's DACA Executive Order is unconscionable because it's not law, but opinion only, and that's the argument Democrats want to hang their hats on, Illegals over Americans.
So far, the really stupid visa programs initiated under a Democrat regime and supported by "Compassionate Conservatives," who do not want to be smeared as racists or bigots, have swept aside the rule of law, in the name of "fairness." America must atone for its undeserved prosperity by welcoming in the worlds great flood of unwashed, without conditions. Whoa!
The Democrats unrestricted illegal invasion program has met strong resistance in the form of Donald Trump who has said "No more!" meaning the unfettered importation of third world denizens from S__thole countries will end. For the present America is faced with solving the problem of the many Dreamers who arrived here years ago when our guard was down.
Here's what I would accept concerning any DACA plan that attempts to legalizes the 800,000 "Dreamers," kids who were brought here illegally by their criminal, gate crashing parents. Understandably they had no choice but like kidnap victims, they must be returned to their home country.
Democrats cite the unchanging DACA numbers at 800,000 because that's how many Dreamers, more or less, who actually signed up for Obama's 'amnesty' program. There is in fact over three million, but for purposes of negotiations, let's stick with the Democrats number of 800,000, most of whom have matriculated into adulthood.
First, eliminate, out of hand, those who have failed to learn English, those with MS-13 and other gang affiliations, and any "dreamer" with one or more felony or firearms convictions. A few have matriculated through college and are employed in good jobs. Save them. Some have found low level jobs, started families and avoided accumulating police records. Save them too. Of the 800,000, only around 900 have entered military service on the promised path to citizenship. Save them. Chain migration must be eliminate. Assimilation does not occur when old family units are attached to and influence, accepted immigrants.
Democrats whine about Trump wanting to spend a one time cost of $18 billion to build a wall but ignore the annual $99 Billion taxpayers cost to cloth, feed, house, educate and provide medical care to the flood of illegals spreading over our country. The Visa program, the one that allows entry on a lottery system, has proven deadly and must not even be considered in negotiations.
Some national figures should be considered in this negotiation as well. 97% of immigrants in the Dreamers grouping identify themselves as Hispanic. By the fourth generation that number falls to 50%. Only 7% describe themselves as Americans, but only 56%, in the third generation, believe they are Americans. Even the use of Spanish slowly declines. The Democrats have abandoned Americas working class base to chase what they choose to believe is a racial group in harmony with their dream of a socialist state, when what they were actually chasing is the momentum of unlimited migration.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get 'em! (24Jan18)
Short Takes – Disintegration By Their Own HandOpinion January 19, 2018
Disintegration By Their Own Hand
The more Democrats take offense at Trump's personality quirks, the more they try to create damming issues out of his 'tweets,' the more they struggle against the will of the voters who put Trump in office, the deeper they descend into the quicksand of the irrelevance they're already facing. They are a wounded party that is seriously divided, and lacking adult leadership.
For example "Dickie" Durban, sat on a Senate committee arguing with the Secretary of the DHS about what word Trump actually said about S__t hole countries, that she was present at. Well, Dickie was there too. So what? Dicky reveals mendacity at its worse but he's really exposing the Left's descent into oblivion. Their dysfunction is evident and destructive, to them, and they don't see it. Their disintegration is well underway.
The three Democrat senators and the three Republican senators, supposedly presenting a compromise DACA plan to the President like he asked for, actually didn't present any new plan at all as Trump wanted, but offered instead a rehash of the Democrats same old compromise, amnesty for DACA's or no spending bill.
And, as always, the compromise came in with the usual suspects in the GOP agreeing to the Democrat agenda. I thought that at the last election we were through with that nonsense. In other words, the Democrats have thrown the dice and are willing to shut down the government, thinking Trump will cave just like Republicans always do, thereby securing for them the future of the Democratic voting base. "Dickie" Durban even threatened Trump with withdrawing the support of the Congressional Black Caucus. It must have shocked him (Dickie) when Trumps told him he didn't care about the CBC, their demands or what their opinion was. Trump fends off all such attacks from the hysterical Left leaving them bereft of suitable answers except obstruction.
Mueller's investigation opened a veritable can of worms, for the Democrats. Mueller still threatens to interview Trump, under Miranda warning presumably, to attempt to extract any level of negative admission from him that could be hung around his neck. All this, while the case against Hillary Clinton's negligence and gross mishandling of America's Top Secret/SCI/NOFORN communications, felonies by the way, and her grubby hand in the Uranium One business, is regaining strength. Once that ball gets rolling it will sweep up all before it. Clearly, the institutional deep state wall that was protecting the Clintons is disintegrating.
The Clinton cabal of DoJ & FBI enablers and protectors is peeling off like onion skins beneath the knife and the eye stinging burn of criminal culpability is drawing attention to the mess that Clinton made. It's a race to see who goes down first, Trump or Hillary. Today, new FBI Director Wray seems intent on mending the Bureau's torn ties to Congress by dismantling the Comey led ring that enameled the Clintons and the DNC to wallow in criminality without consequence. As demanded, the FBI has finally delivered subpoenaed documents to Congress concerning the decision making process that led to Comey's decision not to prosecute Hillary, or anyone else, for recklessly compromising national security. It's a wide net being thrown and will harvest many.
Hillary was a damaged candidate and the Left wouldn't believe it. If they did, it was ignored and against all pundit predictions, Hillary, the key to protecting the Deep State, lost her rigged election to a real non political firebrand, exactly what Americans wanted. No more giving in to demands of socialist Political Correctness. No more free flow of illegals and their strings of family, no more national socialism. Elections do have consequence.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get 'em! (18Jan18)
Short Takes – What Has Hollywood Done Now?Opinion January 11, 2018
What has Hollywood Done Now?
Well, well, well, In yet another staged gala event awarding themselves statues and recognitions, The Golden Orbs awards ceremony, filled with Hollywood's beautiful people dressed in black to make a visual statement about something that irks them, joined together with unbridled enthusiasm to proclaim their new messiah, Oprah Winfrey as their 2020 Presidential choice.
That won't go well with the Democrats who still have their usual suspects, the elderly Joe Biden, Chuckie Schumer, Barry Sanders, the Indian maiden, Liz Warren, and dementia challenged Nancy Pelosi, hanging around their necks like albatrosses or hangman nooses. No, Oprah is good for preaching the Progressive line, expressing costly empathy for the poor and downtrodden, the illegals and homeless and those living in the shadows, but not as president. That simply won't do! One presidential disaster is enough to overcome.
Admittedly, Oprah made a wonderfully stirring speech against something or other, the powerlessness of women one supposes, that could be classified right up there with Obama's speech to the Democratic Party Convention in Chicago a few years ago. That speech, like Oprah's, quickly brought Obama instant political recognition and then the presidency a few years later which he promptly set about "changing." Obama was a fascist. Oprah is a products salesman.
For 2020, the elephant in the room is the sitting President, Donald Trump. He is getting things done by setting America back on it constitutional tracks, while being the constant object of left wing media derision, fake news attacks designed to undermine his administration, and personal attacks against his family, his associates and his administration. Oh, hell, attacks against anything Conservative and everything Trump.
The need to make comparisons cannot be ignored. Both Trump and Oprah are very wealthy in their own rights and that recommends them for good business sense. Trumps skills lie in recognizing where money can be made, not out of wacky ideas or from printing presses, but of seeing potential in community growth, offering people what they want and buying property to build structures that will accomplish those goals. He spreads the wealth. So does Oprah, but on a commercial scale of product identification and salesmanship. She's very good at it.
Other skills Trump enjoys is the ability to successfully negotiate with people, to make them happy with the deal, as well as making his investors happy. That's called Capitalism and the fall out for it is increased employment for the communities he builds in and taxes for government.
Oprah is wealthy because she knows how to sell products, save her money and spread wealth and happiness to the people she employees and the people she hocks her products to. Not too shabby, and another great example of Capitalism at work. Both are hard workers and it shows,
But Trump also saw how quickly a rogue government can steal a populations economic vitality by ignoring the rules of economics (socialism) through onerous rules and regulations. He sought to correct it by running for President with the expressed purpose of making America great again. The people bought it and he is doing exactly what he promised he would do, like Jesus kicking the money changers out of the temple. 2020 is three years away. Can Hollywood really sell us Oprah? Can she do what Trump has done? That remains to be seen, but don't bet on it.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the constitution is the way. Now, go get 'em! (10Jan18)
Short Takes – Recusal, Just What the Hell is it and Why?Opinion January 10, 2018
Recusal, What the Hell Is It, and Why?
The DoJ is reviving the Clinton email investigation. Just what that mean for true justice is unclear. The FBI already investigated the Clinton email case and excused her for being naughty. What's next? My beef is that Jeff Sessions recused himself for some inane reason I have yet to fathom, lest it be that early into the Trump administration, still uneasy on their feet and fearing what the Democrats would do to retaliate against Republicans at a later time, it was a small gesture of appeasement. Whatever it's justification to the AG, it really irked the boss.
In hindsight, we see now that not only was it unnecessary, but it created its own set of problems that will occupy the media and Democrat fundraising efforts for years. Democrats may be down, even near extinction, but they're not out… yet. Until Donald Trump, Republicans were afraid of offending Democrats. The "Never Trump" crowd still are and that includes long time Republican politicians like Jeff Sessions. I'm not saying he's bad, he just needs to be reeducated in the art of political judo and realize his strengths, and then, go get 'em!
Nobody complained aloud when Obama's AG, Eric Holder started deadly gun running operations to Mexican drug gangs, or launched schemes to take over city police departments under the "Hands up, Don't Shoot," meme. Nobody screamed about his failure to inquire why Hillary sold American uranium to the Russians and received in return, vast donations to the Clinton Foundation. If they did, the leftist media didn't report on it.
Neither did anyone demand to know why Loretta Lynch met secretly with Bill Clinton on a Arizona airport tarmac just before the election of Donald Trump, or why she allow James Comey to do her job of excusing Hillary. Was there a conspiracy to prevent Trump from becoming President? Of course there was! You have to be an idiot to not see that.
But now, we' get to the really consequential stuff like threatening America's national interests and compromising the nations security by her 'unintentional' mishandling of American secrets and systems. Despite what former FBI director James Comey opined about Hillary's lack of 'intent' to harm America, the fact remains she did and any 'lack of intent' is of no consequence to the rule of law or the pursuit of justice. This tawdry Mueller affaire, is a cobbled together fallout attempt to cover up Hillary's crimes and place them on Trump's shoulders. It's working in reverse.
The question now is how will Jeff Sessions undo the damage Holder, Lynch and Comey may have done to American justice? For Hillary, there was no Grand Jury empaneled to hear evidence, Comey decided that by himself; therefore, there was no indictment, and no trial, so any issue of double jeopardy does not apply. Hillary staffers, Huma Abedin, Donna Brazile and others, can now be considered co conspirators and interrogation under Miranda warning, and be squeezed like they squeezed General Flynn to admit to lying to the FBI. That's all it takes.
Who is going to take responsibility for destroying the evidence of Huma's and Donna's laptops? That's a crime and because an FBI person does it, makes it no less a crime. I can tell you, no agent would do such a thing without being told to do so. There will be a scapegoats. There has to be, so expect underlings like FBI Agent Strzok and lawyer Lisa Page to fill that bill. They're young, they were in heat. and they are sure patsy's for protecting the higher up's.
I think President Trump has lit a fire under Republicans and the earth is starting to move. Watch the exodus of deep state employees flee for retirement or new jobs in industry.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get 'em! (08Jan18)

Broadside ballad entitled 'Cats' Eyes'
This ballad begins: 'Come listen to me while I sing, / Of misery I've had my share; / Till fortune took me under her wing, / And my troubles all vanished like air.' A note below the title states that this ballad should be sung to the air, 'The Night before Larry was Stretch'd', and that 'Copies of this humorous song can only be had at the Poet's Box' (probably Glasgow). This sheet was published on Saturday 28th August, 1858.
This amusing ballad tells the picaresque tale of a woman who loses her sight and, thanks to the intervention of a quack doctor caled Dr Snigum, ends up acquiring the eyesight of a cat. Verging on the supernatural at times, this surreal ballad describes the humorous escapades that occur as a result of her viewing life with a cat's eyesight. In short, this ballad is the perfect illustration of the proverbial "shaggy dog's tale" - or rather a "shaggy cat's tale".

A debtor can stop a bill collector from harassing him by calmly and firmly telling the collector that it is only allowed to contact him by mail, states the Federal Trade Commission. If the debt collector fails to comply, the debtor can file an action with the FTC.Continue Reading
The Federal Trade Commission regulates debt collectors, as the agency explains, and it enforces restrictions against bill collectors. For example, a bill collector cannot harass someone at his job to the point that the debtor loses that job. Many debt collection agents purposely try to intimidate debtors.
If a debtor asks the debt collection agency to stop contacting him at work, the agency must comply. An employer may not fire an employee because his wages are garnished as part of debt collection, but the FTC warns that the debtor should try to not let an agency proceed with wage garnishment and should work out a settlement instead.
If a debtor wants a debt collector to stop contacting him altogether, he should write a letter and mail it certified mail with a return receipt, which provides documentation that the collector received the letter, states the FTC. Once the collector receives the letter, he must stop contacting the debtor; however, if the debt collector plans on filing a lawsuit, the agency can notify the debtor to advise him of this. A debt collector can also contact the debtor to tell him that no further contact is to be made. However, lack of contact between the agency and the debtor does not make the debt go away.Learn more about Debt Law

When you and your brother both grow up playing the same sport, it's a safe bet that a pretty heated sibling rivalry will develop. And though you both may eventually grow up to become mature adults, that rivalry never really dies. Perhaps that's why, despite having two rings of his own, Peyton Manning's younger brother Eli couldn't bring himself to smile even a little bit for his Super Bowl–winning big bro.
Of course, TV cameras caught the precise moment Eli's old tendencies kicked in and that sent Twitter uses running to their phones and PCs to create hot viral content for your amusement. Below are some of our favorite Twitter moments reacting to Eli's non-reaction.

UniBibleMaker is a set of Java programs and Windows .bat files that helps you make a UniBible Bible database.
Bible Database Structure
The following should allow people familiar with Palm OS programming to construct their own UniBible files. The database should have a creator code of "Unib" and a type code of "BBLE". It is recommended that the database name begin with "Unib-" followed by the name of the version. For example, "Unib-Arabic". All Unicode should be encoded in a big-endian format. This means that the letter "A" (0x0041) is stored in memory as "0041" and not "4100". There are three types of records, which are included in the following order:
Version Record (only one)
Book Records (one for each book included in the file)
Chapter Records (these contain the Bible text, chapter by chapter)
One Version Record
This needs to be the first record in the Palm database. It has the following format:
These records should immediately follow the Version Record.
The first chapter should immediately follow the last Book Record. All the chapter from the first book should be grouped together, followed by all the chapters from the second book, etc.

Dave Clarke - www.daveclarke.com
He may be known as The Baron Of Techno, a moniker given to him by John Peel, but Dave Clarke has an anarchist streak a mile wide and punk in his soul. Having no truck with establishment figures or authoritarianiasm, it's unsurprising he revels in the libertarianism of the World Wide Web. It gives symmetry to his savvy techno vision. "I got so much **** for being a futurist," he states (he was the first Techno artist to release an Internet only single back in 2000), "When I started going digital and moved away from vinyl some of my fellow artists asked me, 'How much are they paying you?' How much is who paying me? It was such a strange situation - this is techno – it's supposed to be forward-looking! I thought, 'Whatever these people say, I'm still going to move forward, it's the right course."
He did and does. Ever the gadget-lover, he enthuses about downloading books onto hand-held devices but his main motive is delivering music to the ears of his global dancing public. He plays out every weekend everywhere. To name a recent few, The Rex in Paris, Klubbers Day in Madrid, Buenos Aires, Fabric in London, headliner of Britain's Glade Festival, and he programmed and headlined his own stage at Holland's Extrema Festival in 2008 and 2009. At every event there's the same attention to detail, his sets swooping whip-smart along the cutting blade of techno and electro backed up by a seasoned bag of DJ tricks that pushes the whole caboodle to the next level.
At the same time, it's all informed by his sonic history, represented on the one hand by 2008's 'Back In The Box' mix CD wherein his peerless selection represented the dawn of house, featuring tracks by DJ Pierre, Marshall Jefferson, Farley 'Jackmaster' Funk and more. On the other hand, there's his gothic, punk side, the man in black embracing the gritty rock'n'roll energy of The Damned and Bauhaus. It seems an unlikely combination but then he's always been an outsider…
Clarke was born and raised in Brighton. Often expelled from school, he fully admits to being a disruptive boy with a short attention span caused by an insecure home life. What started him on the road to being a DJ was combining his father's love of technology with his mother's disco-soul records, tunes by the likes of Roy Ayers and The Crusaders. "My dad had disco lights in the front room," Clarke explains, "record decks, reel-to-reels, reverb units, he even did a thing on BBC Radio about quadrophonics. It's pretty obvious where I get it all from really." Retreating to his attic room he made tapes for friends, dismantled electronic equipment, and subsisted on a musical diet of Visage, early hip hop, Pigbag and punk.
When his parents split, he ran away from home, sleeping rough in car-parks before a friend offered him floor-space. The only thing that kept him going was music. From soul to the Psychedelic Furs, from Devo to the nascent Chicago house sound, Clarke devoured it all voraciously and blagged himself a DJ slot in Brighton. Soon such gigs provided Clarke with a meagre living, then in 1994 his reputation was sealed by a series of EPs known collectively as 'Red'. The debut album 'Archive 1' followed, flecked with hints of breakbeat and electronica, a novelty in the puritanical techno scene of the time. His mix CDs included the two best-selling 'World Service' outings (one of which made it into the top ten of best mix compilations of the 00's in Resident Advisor) which showcased his dual love for electro and techno, and he briefly signed to Skint Records, resulting in 2004's 'Devils Advocate' album, a long-player jammed with dark techno energy but laced with hip hop beats. When his production pace ebbed Music Man Records gathered together 'Remixes And Rareties' in 2007, making Album Of The Month in Mixmag and receiving critical plaudits all over. There is, however, no denying things eventually went quiet on the production front.
Clarke greets this with a dramatic pause. "If I'd stepped into a studio then I could have done what I'd already done but I didn't want to do that, I want to do something I haven't done." He pauses again before going on. "I think it'll happen," he allows, "I'm not going to leave it forever..." In the meantime he has plenty else on. Moving finally from rural sedate Sussex to Amsterdam revitalized him. "I felt quite excluded when I lived in the countryside," he admits, "whereas my home in Amsterdam is fifteen minute walk from most venues so I've seen Patti Smith, Queens Of The Stone Age, The Horrors, Holy ****!. There's no excuse not to go so that's very inspiring."
He's also built up his White Noise radio show on the Dutch station 3FM (also archived at the award - winning http://3voor12.vpro.nl), interviewing artists ranging from John Foxx to Coldcut to Broken Social Scene but the thrust of the show is still to cast light on exciting new music "The most important point is to air music that other stations and DJs don't have the power to," he says, "music that wouldn't normally be given a chance. I can just go where I want with it although it's still 99% techno and electro." The same applies to his White Noise label. Emphatically not a vanity project for his own releases, it has instead hosted boutique vinyl pressings (alongside the usual digital fare) for gleaming new material by artists such as Frank Kusserov, Noirdegout, Woody McBride, Marco Bernadi, Terence Fixmer and The Hacker. These and other tunes will be chopped, hammered, filleted and turned on their heads during Clarke's DJ sets. That's where he comes alive, where skills honed for years blow venues apart. A 2009 highlight, for instance, was the fifteenth birthday party of FUSE, the Brussels club where his standing is second-to-none, where he's developed an extraordinary relationship with the crowd. He speaks of it with his breath catching, as thrilled as ever by the ride the music takes him on. "I love having a crowd absolutely hanging by a thread, completely gripped," he announces passionately, "I often say to myself in the middle of a set, 'I ****ing love my job'." It's true. He really does. And it shows.
Move D - www.myspace.com/moufang
If talent converted into record sales, David Moufang would be a very rich man. His records with partner Jonas Grossmann as Deep Space Network and his own solo releases as Move D are among the furthest outreaches of techno's push towards the stars. Moufang grew up in Heidelberg listening to his parents' collection of early Pink Floyd and Kraftwerk records but the most overwhelming influence on his childhood was outer space, the result of a trip to the cinema with his father to see 2001: A Space Odyssey. "I was space crazy as a child," Moufang told journalist Tony Marcus in 1995, "when the other kids were riding around in their little cars I'd be building my own spacecraft. I'd put in a small engine, put rubber on the wheels so it made some noise and stand there with a walkie-talkie and my headphones on. It was very techno..."
Moufang's grandmothers were both classical concert pianists. He can still remember favourite childhood moments, sitting under the piano as they played, surrounded and lost in sound. By the age of 12, he taken up drums (he eventually went on to study classical percussion) and took up the guitar a few years later, this time taking lessons from two separate jazz guitar teachers. He played guitar in a band called Rivers & Trains well into the '90s. Occasionally he even plied his trade as a DJ, spinning electro, funk and jazz. It wasn't until 1989 that he discovered techno when a friend of his, D-Man, invited him to a club he was running in the industrial suburb of Mannheim. When Moufang walked into the Milk! Club that night - like so many others before and after him - he discovered a scene that changed his life. Discovering Detroit, 808 State, Nexus 21 and the first stirrings of ambient techno, Moufang became a committed clubber. Through D-Man, he met Redagain P who converted Moufang's nickname "Mufti" into the more kinetic Move D.
Moufang's first records were made with Grossmann as Deep Space Network. Their first two albums, EARTH TO INFINITY (1992) and BIG ROOMS (1993) suggested a significant, unpredictable and innovative talent which was confirmed by the release of HOMEWORKS (1993), a Source Records compilation that included solo tracks such as "Pulsar" and "I've Been On Drugs" alongside collaborations with D-Man. Ranging from subtle, Detroit-inflected grooves to wired electronic jazz, Moufang's music seemed to operate on ambience, slow motion and subdued rhythm, a sound that was rooted, as Tony Marcus later pointed out, "in the jazzy, laid-back but still hip-tugging tradition of Larry Heard, Carl Craig's "Microlovr" or "The Wonders Of Wishing" and New York's Burrell Brothers... listening to [Moufang's records] is like a sweet and lazy adventure into sound, a space where time and stress are suspended." REAGENZ (1994), a collaboration with SpaceTime Continuum's Jonah Sharp, was an astonishing fusion of beautiful, experimental electronics that reached out to a point that even Detroit's most visionary producers hadn't yet achieved. Recorded between Heidelberg and San Francisco, it sounded like pianist Bill Evans might have if he'd grown up surrounded by Star Trek instead of modal jazz.
Moufang's debut album, KUNSTSTOFF (1995), was equally remarkable. Tracks such as "Soap Bubbles" and "In/Out" oscillated between soft, dreamlike textures and the spiked electronics that Detroit was beginning to explore. The glittering production surfaces were a legacy of Moufang's days as a student at the School of Audio Engineering, but the music they encompassed was equally compelling. It was an album full of contrasts - between the jagged drugfloor grooves of, say, "Nimm 2" and the gentle, synthetic lullaby of "Beyond The Machine" or between the pristine sounds Moufang conjured with and the haloes of analogue noise which surrounded others. Amazingly pretty and wildly innovative, KUNSTSTOFF remains one of the most accomplished techno albums to emerge from Europe so far.
The collaborative ventures that followed - including EXPLORING THE PSYCHEDELIC LANDSCAPE (1996) and A DAY IN THE LIVE (1997) with Pete Namlook - preceded an experimental single for Sheffield's Warp label. Moufang had been a big fan of the label's "bleep techno" output in the early '90s and "Cymbelin" was, in some ways, a homage to that sound, twisting beats and synths into a bass heavy groove. But the producer's ability to soften almost any structure with aching prettiness transformed the record into a unique fusion.
Another unique fusion was suggested by the release of CONJOINT (1997). A collaboration between Moufang, jazz veteran Karl Berger, Jamie Hodge (of Born Under A Rhyming Planet) and Gunter "Ruit" Kraus, it was Moufang's most overtly jazzed outing so far, but provided spectacular evidence of his growing abilities as a producer and composer. Currently working on a number of new projects - including a new Deep Space Network album and a second Conjoint album - Moufang continues to explore the boundaries of electronic music.

Omelet Pans
How we tested
What's the best pan for making an omelet? Most brands of cookware offer an 8-inch nonstick "omelet" pan, but these are usually just smaller versions of their full-size skillets, with upright sides that make it difficult to turn and roll out a perfect omelet. Traditionally, a French omelet is made in a shallow, curved pan of black steel, which becomes seasoned and increasingly nonstick over time. We were on the hunt for truly best omelet pans.
Investigating Black Steel Pans
We began our search by testing a black steel pan, which heated quickly and held its high temperature, turning out two-egg omelets with precision. Unfortunately, this pan didn't work with our French Omelet recipe, which calls for a tight lid to help cook the eggs through—the pan's sharply sloping handle made it impossible for lids to fit. Another disadvantage: Black steel pans can never be washed with soap and must be dried completely or they lose the surface seasoning that makes them nonstick.
Specialty Omelet Pans Versus Nonstick Skillets
We also tested a pan made specifically for French omelets, created in 1963 when Julia Child asked The Pot Shop of Boston to design it, and where it is still sold today. Well-constructed of thick, heavy-cast aluminum, which maintains consistent heat, the curving shape and gently sloped sides are ideal for omelets. Time and again it produced flawless omelets that were perfectly golden with a creamy center, but the high price tag is a major drawback.
When developing our French Omelet recipe, we used the 8-inch version of our favorite nonstick skillet, whose stainless steel with an aluminum core produced steady, even heat, and its gently curving sides worked well for rolling out omelets, but again, the hefty price tag of $90 made us question whether we should revisit cheaper brands.
Crowning the Best Omelet Pan
After testing three nonstick 8-inch pans (all under $25), we found that one of them—a gently curved model made of hard-anodized aluminum—came closest to replicating the performance of the pricier pans. It was thinner than the high-end pans, making it heat more quickly, but still was able to produce perfect French omelets—at a bargain price.

With such plagues as writers block and lack of motivation constantly lurking around every corner, quotes from other writers (who have most likely dealt with these same problems) can be a saving grace of sorts for the rest of us. Hence the reasoning behind the creation of "Quotes Corner."Certain weeks may be themed (by author), while others may be random.
Writers need inspiration, and need it often. It is my hope that you'll find some here.
- "Fiction is the truth inside the lie."
- "No, it's not a very good story – its author was too busy listening to other voices to listen as closely as he should have to the one coming from inside."
- "Talent in cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work."
- "The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of because words diminish your feelings – words shrink things that seem timeless when they are in your head to no more than living size when they are brought out."
- "We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones."
- "If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that."
- "The road to hell is paved with adverbs."
- "Books are the perfect entertainment: no commercials, no batteries, hours of enjoyment for each dollar spent. What I wonder is why everybody doesn't carry a book around for those inevitable dead spots in life."
- "If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot."
- "The scariest moment is always just before you start."

Diana Davis Spencer Fellowship
Developing Social Entrepreneurs Solving Challenges Affecting Americans, Age 50+NEWSLETTER
According to an Urban Institute study published last year, American workers in their fifties are about 20% less likely than workers ages 25-34 to become re-employed. Furthermore, nearly two-thirds of unemployed workers age 55 and older say they have been actively searching for a job for more than one year compared to just one-third of younger workers, according to a recent survey by the Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at Rutgers University. Increasingly left out of employment opportunities, their skills, experiences and wisdom have also been lost in the process, to the detriment of the US economy.
Such findings challenged The Global Good Fund to address this timely and poignant question: How could we support, help and enable professionals over age 50 to find sustainable and gainful employment?
In response, The Global Good Fund partnered with the Diana Davis Spencer Foundation to create a specialized fellowship program focused on identifying entrepreneurs who were addressing the challenge of increasingly unemployable workers over the age of 50. These entrepreneurs could be over the age of 50 themselves, or there could be younger entrepreneurs who were passionate about creating job opportunities explicitly targeting those aging workers.
The Global Good Fund supports these entrepreneurs in growing their enterprises through leadership development, executive mentoring and the provision of USD $20,000 in targeted capital, which in turn will enhance their expansion, reach and scale. The ultimate social impact will be a marked increase in the employment of workers within the United States over the age of 50.
The Diana Davis Spencer Fellowship is a 12-month program supporting the leadership development of social entrepreneurs who are dedicated to creating sustainable jobs for under- and unemployed Americans over the age of 50.
The Global Good Fund works closely with the Diana Davis Spencer Foundation to invest in these innovators by pairing them with executives who serve as Mentors, and by providing leadership assessment resources, a network of peers, sector expertise, and targeted financial capital.
- Assessment
- Development Plan
- Mentor Engagement
- Development Activities
- Long Term Assessment
The Global Good Fund supports our Fellows in their natural work environments through a first-of-its-kind 360 leadership assessment tool, the 360 MIRROR, specifically designed for social entrepreneurs. This tool is a behavior-based assessment of the skills and values associated with great leaders.
The results of the assessment and conversations with a Global Good Fund Leadership Development Coach form the basis for a Leadership Development Plan to be implemented with support of a Global Good Fund Mentor. In the case of the Diana Davis Spencer Fellowship, each entrepreneur creates an individulized plan that explicitly focuses on the creation of sustainable employment for Americans over the age of 50.
The network of Mentors includes leaders like Ted Leonsis, Owner & CEO of Monumental Sports & Entertainment, Tracy Fitzsimmons, President of Shenandoah University, Sami Inkinen, Co-Founder of Trulia, Lydia Thomas, former CEO of Noblis, and Pete Smith, CEO of Al Tayyar Energy.
Fellows will be exposed to various activities throughout the year, such as our annual Summit, a four-day curated leadership development experience for the Fellows and Alumni. They will also receive leadership services and materials from The John Maxwell Foundation and take part in supplemental webinars and conferences focused on engagement, recruitment, and retention of 50+ Americans.
Each Fellow retakes the leadership assessment at the end of the Fellowship and then 1, 3, 5, and 10 years post Fellowship to track his/her growth.
360° Assessment
We administer the 360 MIRROR, leadership assessment tool designed specifically for social entrepreneurs to derive feedback from their board, staff, peers, and stakeholders as well as the Fellow. The Fellow will retake the leadership assessment at the end of the Fellowship and then 1, 3, 5, and 10 years post Fellowship to track his/her growth.
Leadership Development Plan
The results of the 360 MIRROR are used by each Fellow with his/her Leadership Development Coach (LDC). The LDC serves as an executive coach. The 360 MIRROR data points combined with one-on-one LDC interactions over 3 months result in each Fellow creating a personalized Leadership Development Plan (LDP).
Executive Mentoring
Each Fellow is paired with an Executive Mentor who is an established business or non-profit leader. The Fellow-Mentor relationship spans nine months with the goal of implementing the LDP and leveraging the Mentor's leadership insights. Fellow-Mentor check-ins occur every two to three weeks through virtual meetings. The Fellow-Mentor relationship may continue after the Fellowship if the Fellow and Executive Mentor so choose.
Annual Summit
Fellows participate in an annual Global Good Fund Summit each spring. This 4-day event provides a platform for networking between Fellows, LDCs, Coaches, Alumni, and The Global Good Fund staff. The Summit is a curated leadership development experience for each Fellow.
Targeted Funds
Each Fellow receives a leadership development grant of up to $20,000. These funds are used explicitly for LDP implementation and leadership development with a special focus on experiential learning.
Peer and Subject Matter Expert Network
Fellows are part of a global cohort of social entrepreneurs. The Global Good Fund facilitates regular interaction among the Fellows. Fellows are encouraged to engage each other, Alumni, and Content Experts in tackling leadership development challenges. The Global Good Fund intentionally connects Fellows with Content Experts to address specific functional, sector, or geographic issues faced by each Fellow.

Whether you are making these for brunch for a crowd or a small family breakfast, these Baked French Toast Cups are simple to prepare and fun to eat. Sponsored by Davidson's Safest Choice Eggs™.
Breakfast is one of those meals I do not skip. In fact, I usually eat breakfast right after I get up in the mornings. I love all kinds of breakfast foods, too, from savory to sweet: omelettes, bagels, french toast, cereal. My husband and kids are not the same as me. So I typically eat breakfast alone. I don't mind really. I find this time relaxing and meditative. I sit there and sip my morning tea and listen to the world wake up.
When my kids were little, our mornings would explode from complete silence to total chaos. There would be a stampede of tiny feet trampling down the stairs. The house would be filled their laughter and giggles. Fights could erupt with a wrong look if one of those angels woke up on the wrong side of the bed.
On the weekends, I would try to sleep in and my babies would crawl into bed with my husband and I, if they weren't there already. I always attempted to go back to sleep, but my husband would start talking to them, then the talking would evolve into giggling and then a wrestling match would proceed.
All before 7am.
If I wanted sleep, I would get up in a huff and stomp off to my daughter's room, which was far away from the heart of the craziness and mayhem. But despite my exhaustion and lack of sleep, I relish those mornings and memories.
Today, our morning chaos is a bit different. During the week, there is the rush in preparation for school. On the weekends, if the boys aren't camping, there's the rush to a Boy Scout event, bike ride or book signing. If we are home, the kids saunter off to the computer, television or iPad to relax.
Our king-sized bed is lonely, so we call out their names and they come visit us. Our bed gets filled up faster, as they are bigger. The Professor is now a giant and is taller than me. He thinks it's funny. I just want to cry. The visit still ends in a wrestling match except now my bed gets totally destroyed in the process.
Next year I will have three schools to juggle, with each kid in a different stage of life. With my eldest starting high school, I will savor these mornings my husband and I have them all home. These are precious times, a priceless jewel I will hold close to my heart.
This Mother's Day, my boys' will be making me breakfast – but, not in bed. Their Boy Scout troop will be holding their annual breakfast for us mums. I don't think they will be making us French Toast Cups, but I'm sure whatever they serve will all be made with love, and that's enough for me.
I make these for my kids from time to time. They are simple to make. You can make small cups by pressing the egg soaked bread in a greased cupcake pan. For a larger cup, I press two slices of bread in a popover pan. They bake quickly in the oven, so have your fresh fruit on hand and fill them up.

'The agility of your dialectics': the left & Israel
By Max Dunbar.
Israel and the European Left: Between Solidarity and Delegitimization, Colin Shindler, Continuum 2012
The US writer Ben Cohen, reflecting on the latest mutation of an old and potent lie, drew a distinction between what he described as bierkeller and bistro anti-Semitism. Bierkeller is big, obvious, tabloidal working class racism, it's brownshirts shouting obscene chants, it's 'violence, verbal abuse, commercial harassment, and advocacy of anti-Jewish legal measures.' Bistro anti-Semitism, Cohen argues, is a more elusive monster, a 'higher and outwardly more civilized realm'.
Bistro anti-Semites tend to be better with words and so their arguments will be taken more seriously; they can rationalise and disguise their prejudices, to others and also to themselves. Many claim to be fighting against racism, and are so confident in their own moral superiority that in some ways they are more dangerous than the average bierkeller street thug.
Cohen was writing on the publication of a book, The Wandering Who? by Gilad Atzmon, an Israeli jazzman and anti-Zionist celebrity, booked at the SWP's annual Marxism conference for some years. Except Atzmon went beyond the 'daring' practice of substituting 'Zionist' for 'Jew'. He is an outright anti-Semite and conspiracy theorist, who appears to genuinely believe that Jews are trying to control the world, caused the financial crisis, and pretty much had it coming during the 1940s. Cohen read his book:
The Wandering Who finds Atzmon on territory well-trodden by anti-Semites past and present: Holocaust revisionism (one chapter is entitled 'Swindler's List'), the rehabilitation of Hitler (he argues that Israel's behavior makes all the more tempting the conclusion that the Führer was right about the Jews), the separation of Jesus from Judaism (Christ was the original proud, self-hating Jew, whose example Spinoza, Marx, and now, Atzmon himself, have followed).
This is the kind of thing that's more usually produced in sheds on lined exercise book paper. But Atzmon had no trouble finding a respected radical publisher for his book, which went ahead with the launch despite concerns raised by many of its most popular writers. (This is, if it matters, why nothing from that publisher is going to be reviewed on this site again, at least not under my byline.)
We've been here before. Cohen sees Atzmon's historical antecedent in Trofim Kichko, the Soviet propagandist. The cover of Kichko's 1963 Judaism without Embellishment 'featured a swarthy Jew in a prayer shawl, standing in a pulpit, nonchalantly jingling coins in his hands.' Colin Shindler adds that: 'Such illustrations were a common feature in the Soviet press. They bore an uncanny resemblance to anti-Jewish cartoons which were published in Nazi-occupied Ukraine during World War II.'
Cohen writes:
Actually, were he still alive, it would be entirely plausible that Kichko would be on a speaking tour of North American and European campuses. An army of professors, commentators, and student activists would line up to shield this progressive intellectual from the smear of anti-Semitism.
Cohen says that the more recognisable bierkeller anti-Semitism has 'waned sharply' since WW2 – maybe true in the grand sweep, but it's still very much a problem; my home city of Manchester recorded a high in anti-Semitic incidents last year, more than London, which has six times the Jewish population. But Shindler's historical study of the left and Israel has a lot to tell us about how the bistro version has become so dominant in liberal-left thought (the UCU academic and cultural boycott, Labour mayoral candidate Ken Livingstone's work for Islamist propaganda arm Press TV and dismissal of 'rich Jews' who won't vote for him; Lib Dem peer Jenny Tonge's declaration that 'Israel is not going to be there forever… [it] will lose its support and then they will reap what they have sown' at what developed into an anti-Semitic hate rally held at a London university… really, the list is endless) and how we got to the mess we're in.
Trofim Kichko was no Soviet anomaly. Until I read Shindler's book I never realised the level of anti-Semitism under Stalin's rule, nor the extent to which the Helmsman was in Hitler's pocket. People think of Stalin's Jew-hatred as a late, doddering, senescent thing. But Shindler has him as the supplicating prison-bitch of the Nazi-Soviet pact. By the time Hitler overthrew the fledgeling Weimar democracy in 1933, Germany was responsible for almost half Russia's exports. The Soviets fell over themselves to assure the Nazis that they were happy with the change of regime. They didn't care that Hitler was killing German communists, and in fact they were happy to hand up even Russian communists like Margarete Buber-Neumann, who 'found herself taken from her camp in the Soviet Gulag by the NKVD, handed over to the Gestapo at Brest-Litovsk and re-incarcerated in Ravensbrück.' For people in Buber-Neumann's position the only tangible difference between the two totalitarianisms was that the prison guards insulted you in different languages.
In the 1950s Artur London, then deputy foreign minister of Czechoslovakia, got caught up in the Slansky trial, a pseudo-legal purge of Czech communists. 'His prison interrogator told him that Hitler was right about the Jews and 'we will finish what he started." London was astonished to see in a brother Communist 'the mentality of the men who shot my brother, Jean in 1941, who deported my mother, my sister Juliette and her husband, and dozens of my family to Auschwitz and sent them to the gas chamber. I had concealed my race from the Nazis, should I do the same thing in my own socialist country?'
The Daily Worker's line on the Slansky trial was 'Big Business Zionists Implicated'.
Shindler's book is about the best and the worst of the left. The British labour movement was originally supportive of Israel. Labour conference declared solidarity with the Jewish state eleven times between 1917 and 1945. On his post-liberation visit to the death camps, Labour MP Richard Crossman reflected that 'European civilisation was not a stable and settled way of life, but a thin crust, constantly threatened by the volcanic violence of vast and understood forces just before the surface.'
Shindler has a fascinating passage on differing UK and US attitudes to Israel. America was an immigrant nation and US thinkers tended to support the Zionist frontier spirit. By contrast, the English, 'localised for centuries in their own villages and towns' sympathised more with the Palestinian, 'defending his 1,000 year old civilisation against the invader.' During the Suez crisis legendary working class Labour politician Aneurin Bevan rejected 'the semi-medieval institutions of the Arab nations.' Leftwingers noted that Nazi war criminals began second careers in the Egyptian government, including SS-Obersturmbahnführer Joachim Daümling, an ex-Gestapo chief who was believed to have modelled Egypt's secret police on Himmler's Reich Security main office. Nazism enjoyed a tenebrous half-life in the theocratic world. The left was for rootless cosmopolitanism. It reached the standard parochial view in the end, and by a circuitous route.
Shindler lays out the process. Identity politics, postmodernism and the Vietnam war changed the focus to defending subject peoples from invasion and colonialism. Once the gas chambers had been shut down the priority for Jews turned out to be the same as for anyone else, to make money and provide for their families and get on with their lives. It's hard to support a noble victim when he walks out of the death camp and becomes a full participant in capitalist life. Shindler: 'Socialist advocates for Israel such as Leon Blum were long dead. The mentors of the post-war generation were Franz Fanon and Regis Debray. Their icons were Che Guevara and Ho Chi Minh.'
Even then, though, some leftists retained support. Jean-Paul Sartre opposed French imperialism in Algeria, and tried, along with Bertrand Russell, to set up a tribunal to indict American leaders of war crimes in Vietnam. Yet he didn't see why any of this should mean he was automatically against Israel. Sartre wrote that:
I will never abandon this constantly threatened country whose existence ought not to be put into question… I know my stance earns me the enmity of certain Arabs who cannot understand that one is able to be at the same time for Israel and for them.
Sartre's words were lost because it is Western leftists, far more than Arab equivalents, who consistently failed to understand that basic point, and pursued exclusionary and unworkeable goals accompanied with noisy rhetoric and sinister gesture politics. As Shindler notes, the effect of all this – the boycotts, op-eds, marches, Viva Palestina convoys – was to strengthen the extremists and partisans on both sides of the border, and to isolate and weaken the vast majority of moderate Israelis and Palestinians who want peace and freedom and co-operation.
The quote I've used for the title comes from French socialist Léon Blum, in office just before the Second World war (he would later be sold out by the Vichy regime and interned in Buchenwald). Having listened to French Communists defend the Nazi-Soviet pact in elaborate and ridiculous terms, Blum lost his patience: 'Cease your game… You cannot believe what you are saying. Some other time we will enjoy the agility of your dialectics.' The gymnastics are set to go on for some time to come. But fewer and fewer people will be watching.

When told that she had joined an illustrious group in the UConn record books Tuesday night, senior guard Kelly Faris reacted the way she always does when the conversation turns personal.
She shrugged and offered the telling smile that signals she'd rather discuss something else.
Still, it didn't change the facts: Faris became just the fourth player in UConn history to start 100 consecutive games in UConn's 105-49 win at Providence.

|Tired of it all! (chemotherapy for lymphoma)
Mar 2, 2001
I'm just getting ready for my second CHOP for Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and have suddenly started becoming very fatigued around 1:00 p.m. It's like I hit a big wall. Can this be a result of the treatment? Are there other things I need to be checking out? Can I expect CHOP to wipe me out? Something needs to change. Thanks for your response.
Response from Dr. Dezube
Although some fatigue from chemotherapy is to be expected, the degree of chemotherapy you are experiencing is a bit out of the ordinary. I would need to know several things to be able to help you more, but here are some ideas: 1) What is your white count? How low does it go with chemotherapy? If it goes too low for too long a period,then this can cause fatigue. The treatment for this would be G-CSF.
2) What is your red count? How low does it go? You will feel fatigued if your hematocrit (a measure of your red count) gets too much below the level of 30. Although there's no firm guideline as to the point at which a low hematocrit should be treated, I usually aim to keep my patients' hematocrits above 28 or 29. The treatment for anemia is either red cell transfusions or erythropoietin (Procrit or Epogen)
3) What's your testosterone level (both free testosterone and total testosterone)? Many, many of my patients use testosterone supplements. Testosterone helps with energy level, lean body mass, and sex drive. The best forms of supplements are either the gel or the injectable form.
4) In addition to the above three, there are many other causes for fatigue. Discuss your fatigue with your health care provider. There are also many ways to "conserve energy". Take short naps (no more than 1 hour) as needed. Do the more mind-boggling tasks when you are most alert. See that you get a good night's sleep even if you need to take a sleeper to get you this good night's sleep. Good luck. BD.

Last fall, the Coast Unified School District announced a $20,000 donation that would make it possible for all district graduates to obtain a second year of free enrollment at Cuesta College through 2018.
But the district doesn't want to stop there.
Coast Union High School counselor Cheryl Seay and retired San Luis Obispo County Superintendent Julian Crocker, a Cambria resident, presented a vision at the Thursday, Oct. 13, school board meeting for an expanded and continuing scholarship program.
Currently, the Cuesta Promise — funded by an $8.5 million bequest from Charles and Leeta Dovica — covers the first year of college for every high school graduate in San Luis Obispo County. The Cambria Promise piggybacks on that, adding the second year for Coast Union and Leffingwell high school grads.
The expanded Cambria Promise described by Crocker and Seay would "provide the 'last dollar' funding to cover the costs for tuition, fees and books for the first academic year at any accredited university or trade/vocational school to which a student is accepted."
Those costs could vary widely. Crocker and Seay estimated they'd be about $3,800 for a community college, $8,200 for a California State University school (such as Cal Poly) and $15,000 for a University of California school.
Last-dollar funding means the program would provide "whatever is needed to close the gap" after other scholarships had been accounted for, Crocker said.
He described the plan as a "place-based initiative, as opposed to a need-based initiative." Financial need wouldn't enter into the equation; students would qualify solely on the basis of having graduated from a Coast Unified school.
"We're talking about the middle class, and to me, that's the true need," Seay told the board. "Those families don't get a lot of federal dollars."
Crocker estimated the program would cost $137,600 a year, and Seay said she had begun contacting scholarship donors, asking them to set aside "a percentage of the money they donate and put it in the pot," rather than dedicating it entirely to specific students.
Seay acknowledged that some donors like to retain control of how they allocate their funds.
Crocker said he had held preliminary conversations with the Cuesta Foundation about managing the program but had received no commitment. He said that "at some point, there obviously has to be paid staff" to manage the fund and its distribution, suggesting that the district form an advisory council as a first step in this direction.
In other business:
▪ Director of Technology Henry Danielson reported that 2.3 percent of families in outlying ranches and 11 percent of San Simeon families do not have access to the internet for students who might need to do some online work at home.
He cited "limited connectivity because there is no cell tower there."
Among the options he said were available to families is a low-cost internet deal through AT&T for $10 a month and the ability of students to take math textbooks home with them if their families have no access to the internet.
▪ Santa Lucia Middle School librarian Suzanne Kennedy, speaking for the Cambria Education Foundation, announced a fall fundraiser: selling trees, wreaths and garlands to raise money for the district's students and teachers.
The foundation will sell Douglas firs, noble firs and grand firs, in addition to wreaths, garlands and evergreen swag. Order forms are available at school libraries or the Cambria Chamber of Commerce, 767 Main St., and must be returned by Nov. 11.
Items will be available for pickup from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Dec. 3 at the middle school parking lot, 2850 Schoolhouse Lane.
Upcoming events
Oct. 21 — Coast Union alumni volleyball game, 5 p.m.
Oct. 24-28 — Homecoming week at Coast Union High School.
Oct. 28 — Homecoming Parade, 2:30 p.m.; Football Senior Night, 7 p.m.; Homecoming Dance, 9 p.m. End of first quarter.
Oct. 31 — Halloween Parade, 1:15 to 2:15 p.m.
Nov. 2 — Local Control Accountability Plan Community Engagement Meeting, 2:15 p.m., district board room, 1350 Main St.
Nov. 3 — Coast Union Student Showcase, 6 p.m. in library; barbecue at 5:30 p.m.
Nov. 11 — No school

(BaseballStL) – With 4 runs, 4 bunts for hits, a stolen base and a squeeze play, the Cardinals gained not only the victory today, but the series win as they showcased the speed that Kolten Wong and Peter Bourjos bring to the team.
This game is exactly why the Cardinals traded for Bourjos and continued to reaffirm the faith the Cards have in Wong – a throwback to Whitey Ball.
"It was probably one of the best representations of what speed can do for us," manager Mike Matheny said, "getting on base and creating havoc. Guys did a nice job of making things happen today."
Wong made an error in the second to give the Braves a 1-0 lead, but both he and Bourjos made up for it by accounting for 3 of the Redbirds 4 runs on the afternoon.
Wong lead-off the fourth inning with his first bunt for a hit and then went first to third on Matt Holliday's single up the middle. The speedy Wong went on to score on a shallow sacrifice fly to right field from Yadier Molina, his 23 RBI.
Then in the seventh, Big City Matt Adams stroked a ball to left that Justin Upton couldn't handle and the big man had his second, again that's number 2, triple of the season. A squeeze play, a perfect bunt from Bourjos, made the game 4-1 and that's how it would end.
"I think we're all hungry for some consistency," Matheny continued, "We're seeing aggressive play and that's something we need to continue."
In one of Shelby Miller's best performances this season, the 23-year-old right-hander went 7.0 innings – the longest this season – and gave up no earned runs with 2 walks and 7 strike-outs.
For the third consecutive day, Trevor Rosenthal came on in the ninth and pitched a 1-2-3 inning for his 13th save.
The Cards try for the sweep Sunday as Jaime Garcia takes to the mound for the first time since May 17, 2013, almost one year to the since he's thrown a pitch in a MLB game. He takes on Gavin Floyd (0-1).
