I'd hoped I would have been relieved of the duty of doing the yearly budget round-up, but apparently I'm the ALP's intellectual lighthouse in an Opposition full of rocks, oil spills and the odd sewage leak. So here we go again.
Not surprisingly, the Turnbull / Abbott / Dutton powerhouse have come up with a bunch of initiatives that they've buried deep in the budget papers. I've seen ALP Preselection ballot papers more transparent than some of the nasties embedded deep in the bowels of this budget, but I'm pleased to say that you get to see three examples right here in the home of Non-Fake News.
1. Parliamentary Real Estate Representative Support Scheme
$42 Million over four years. As you'll be aware, all of us elected to the federal parliament spend a lot of hours in Canberra when we drag ourselves there. The LNP have decided that rather than Ministers getting into strife for using taxpayer funds to buy houses on official trips, they'll shift the blame over to public servants who will go buy the houses for the Ministers. Grudging respect to a former health minister for getting this one through Expenditure Review.
2. Prime Minister's Diction Enhancement Initiative
$67 million over two years. Bogans and gronks beware – Malcolm is setting up a taskforce of retired English teachers and vice-presidents of capital city Liberal Party branches. They'll be embedded in schools, TAFEs and Universities to make sure you remember there's no 'F' in 'Thank You'. There will be no exemptions unless you're a Deputy Prime Minister.
3. Focus Group Rehabilitation Scheme
$410 million over four years. Rehabilitation centres will be set up in each state to try and repair the physical and mental damage received by the market researchers who run focus groups for the LNP's pollsters. These poor sods have had more than three years of asking people whether they like Tony Abbott, Scott Morrison and Malcolm Turnbull. Imagine the trauma of constantly seeing people scream, throw chairs or laugh like Pauline Hanson on cocaine. The ALP will be supporting this measure.
So there you have it – three nuggets in the underwear of our arseclown of a Government. Be assured I will be digging for more in coming weeks and months. You're welcome.

ST. LOUIS, MO. (KTVI) – To get the Fabulous Fox Theatre in tip top shape, you have to start at the top.
"The skin is just a canvas or muslin and the underneath just horse hair padding," says restoration supervisor Edward Magee. "So it's like a sound pad."
Today, the only sound inside the building was from crews restoring the auditorium to its 1929 splendor.
These tassels which look like terra cotta are really made of plaster.
"It's just painted and the glaze kind of goes in sculpturally defines the ornament itself and then antiques it, makes it look old," says Magee. "So originally they wanted it to look old."
Built in 1929, this is the most massive project at the fox since its original restoration in 1981.
But everything old will look new again thanks to an ammonia based cleaner and a little elbow grease.
"There's a fine line in between the dirt and the glaze, because they're both umber," says Magee. "The glaze is like a raw umber and dirt is like a raw umber so they're similar. So you have to be aggressive enough to get the dirt off but not aggressive enough to take the layer of glaze off which is really thin."
Today a caged elephant kept an eye on the cleanup.
These workers were doing something that will probably never be done again in our lifetime.
After all, it's not every day one touches the ceiling inside the fox.
"Have you made any interesting discoveries?" asks Patrick Clark.
"Yeah, I think the crystals being Czechoslovakian," says Magee. "That was kind of interesting."
It took two weeks to install the 15 truckloads of scaffolding for this conservation cleaning.
My tour guide Edward Magee was also on the crew that restored the Peabody opera house.
So he knows a little about scrubbing behind and in between those hard to reach places.
"Now that we've cleaned it a lot of the colors have brightened up." says Magee. "I think they're going to see things that they've never really seen before."
They might have to buy some more spotlights, to show off this spic and span 84 year old.

CastlesActivitiesPosted by Mrs McIlwrath Tue, February 06, 2018 19:37:34
Our topic is Castles. We talked about the first castles built and who made them, why they were made and what they were made from. We decided that although living in a castle sounded luxurious, we soon realised that life could be hard. The buildings were often cold. Children were left to amuse themselves. There was a constant fear of attack AND there was NO flushing toilet!
We wrote adverts to sell our castles. We focused on modern castles and used our imagination to create castles that would appeal to people today. Some of our castles had cinema rooms, hot tubs and saunas, champagne fountains, swimming pools and even a zoo.
When writing our advert, we were aware that we had to use interesting adjectives which would help sell our castle. We had to include a picture that would capture the interest of the buyer and set out clearly the asking price. We were encouraged to use bullet points and commas and write using short phrases. Some of us forgot to include an email address or phone number so that the buyer could contact the seller. We now realise how important this is on an advert.

Pinterest is one of my newest addictions. I am always on there searching for the next great recipe idea. Right before Easter, I came across this one. Strawberry Cream Puff Cake. WOW. Looks fabulous, so I had to try it out. This is now a staple for any cookout, family get-together, or any fun event. This is definitely a MUST TRY recipe. I promise, you will not be sorry. The recipe came from another fellow blogger, The Girl Who Ate Everything. I did however add chocolate drizzle to the top of mine. Strawberries + Chocolate = Heaven!
3-4 cups of sliced fresh strawberries
Cinnamon sugar
Cream Puff Base:
5 tablespoons butter
2/3 cup water
1 tablespoon sugar
2/3 cup flour
3 eggs
Cream Cheese Mixture:
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon fresh orange zest
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2/3 cup powdered sugar
1 cup Chocolate chips
2-3 TBSP heavy cream
For the cream puff layer, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Bring the butter, water and sugar to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the flour all at once and stir quickly until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan. Remove the pan from the heat and stir the mixture until smooth. Let cool for 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time and beat until the mixture is shiny with a satiny sheen. Don't over beat. Lightly grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch spring form pan (or in a pinch, you could use a 9-inch circle cake pan).
Using an offset spatula, spread the mixture on the bottom and one inch up the sides of the prepared pan.
Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and prick pastry with a toothpick 10-12 times. Return to the oven and bake 5-10 minutes more until golden brown but not over baked (you can insert a toothpick into the center and if it comes out with sticky dough, it still needs longer in the oven). Cool completely.
Meanwhile, slice the strawberries and sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top. This allows the juices to come out of the berries a little bit more.
Top with fresh sliced strawberries.
To make the drizzle, in a double boiler add chocolate chips and heavy cream & melt completely. Take a fork or whisk and drizzle or splatter the chocolate all over the top of the cake.
Keep in the fridge until serving.
Let me know what you think about this one if you make it!

D2 #9 Goodrich def. Holly, 32-27
A battle between two Greater Flint area teams proved to be a great one as the Martians pulled out a five-point victory. The dual had several prominent matchups with the teams splitting bouts featuring ranked wrestlers. Holly is just outside the top ten in D2 and we realistically could see this dual again at Team Regionals with much more on the line.
Notable Match Results
119 - Caleb Teague (Goodrich) fall Nathan Young (Holly) 1:33
189 - Cade Dallwitz (Holly) dec. Juwan Vines (Goodrich) 5-2
215 - Honour Kline (Goodrich) dec. Collin Dallwitz (Holly) 5-2
285 - Blake Querio (Holly) dec. Blake Coffell (Goodrich) 3-1 SV
D1 #4 Brighton def. D1 #9 Clarkston, 51-12
There's been no easy day for Clarkston so far, who has already taken on three of the top five teams in Division 1 in addition to wrestling in the Oakland County tournament. It was all Brighton in this one though as the Dogs cruised to a win. Brighton now prepares for their biggest test of the year, DCC, on Friday.
Notable Match Results
119 - Ben Manly (Brighton) dec. Cole Wiegers (Clarkston) 3-1
145 - Dane Donabedian (Brighton) dec. Houston Hemingsen (Clarkston) 6-1
285 - Colby Ford (Brighton) fall Rocco Spindler (Clarkston)
D4 #4 Pine River def. Petoskey, 45-22
Moving north, Pine River took on Petoskey in a dual that really didn't have any team ranking implications but did include some solid matchups and surprising results. In the end, the firepower of Pine River proved to be just too much for the Northmen.
Notable Match Results
135 - Eero Gross (Petoskey) dec. Jacob Roberts (Pine River) 8-5
152 - Brock Nelson (Pine River) dec. Lucas Buerkel (Petoskey) 3-1
189 - Tim Rizor (Pine River) dec. Jaylin Mitchell (Petoskey) 5-2
D4 #8 Addison def. Sand Creek, 39-18
The rare in-season assembly dual went down between these two Lenawee County rivals. Addison took six of the ten contested bouts and picked up a 21 point win, but the Aggies certainly had a few individuals with great performances.
Notable Match Results
160 - Hunter Dart (Addison) dec. Carson Scroggie (Sand Creek) 3-1
189 - Donovan Underwood (Addison) dec. Nolan Pickles (Sand Creek) 10-1
285 - Tony Greenman (Sand Creek) dec. Luke Yackee (Addison) 3-1
Comstock Park def. Belding, 48-21
Team Region 23-3 is one of the most wide open of any region in any division. These two teams will see each other at Team Districts but they each have a legitimate shot of advancing to Kalamazoo. In this meeting, Belding cut the deficit to nine with five matches remaining but CP went on to win four of those five bouts.
Notable Match Results
135 - Zion Taylor (Comstock Park) dec. Thomas Doran (Belding) 9-7
160 - Tyler Smith (Belding) fall Nick Brill (Comstock Park) 3:57
189 - Mitchell Ward (Belding) dec. Adam Armock (Comstock Park) 7-1

Pool safety nets are getting more popular to prevent infants and toddlers from entering the water unseen or unheard. A swimming pool safety net provides a safe, secure barrier while maximizing the available backyard space. For over three decades the swimming pool safety net has been in used with hundreds of thousands installed worldwide.
The small squares of the net material are too small for a child's head or body to fit through and too large to allow them to walk, play, jump or stabilise themselves on the pool safety net. One adult can remove or replace a typical swimming pool safety net in a few minutes. A series of pulleys is built into the center of the pool safety net. By loosening the pulley rope, the tension is released and the pool safety net can easily be removed.

Ramon Sessions has been demoted from starting point guard to bench warmer to the leading candidate to be gone with the Knicks' next roster move.
Still, Sessions, a 31-year-old journeyman with 10 different NBA stops on his resume, is sticking to professionalism.
"I've been around a little bit. I've been traded. I've been talked about being traded. So it's one of those things where you do your work, you can't control that kind of stuff," Sessions said before Wednesday's double-overtime loss to Chicago.
As the Daily News reported, the Knicks are keen on calling up point guard Trey Burke from their G-League team in Westchester. However, they still need to create a roster spot to facilitate such a move. That can happen via trade, as the Knicks prefer, or by waiving Sessions and his guaranteed contract (one-year, $ 2.33 million).
Current and former stars gather at 19th Annual Knicks Bowl
Sessions said neither team president Steve Mills nor GM Scott Perry has spoken to him about his future.
"I see those guys every day," he said "Nothing came to me in-house."
The total reached 20 for the number of consecutive games Tim Hardaway Jr. has been sidelined, but the $ 71 million shooting guard continues to move closer to a return.
"It should be sometime in the near future that we get Tim back," Jeff Hornacek said before the game. "He said before shoot-around he feels good.
Knicks' Hardaway Jr. says 'it'd be great' if Burke gets called up
"Tim's itching to go; that's his nature, his mentality. But we do have to listen to doctors, we've got to be careful with it. … We'll build him up. That's how we'll go when he's ready."
Hardaway hasn't played since suffering a stress injury in his leg on Nov. 29 against Miami. Hornacek indicated he remains unsure whether Friday's game in Minnesota is a possibility, but he added that Hardaway had few limitations in practice and a team scrimmage on Tuesday and came out of it feeling "OK."
Michael Beasley was active and productive after missing one game with a sprained ankle. He failed to convince Hornacek and the medical staff to let him play Sunday in Dallas, but he scored 26 points off the bench in 39 minutes against the Bulls.
"Yeah, I was going to play with a boot. Coach can't keep me off the floor," Beasley joked before the game, before adding afterward: "It was good. A little sore…but it didn't bother me."

Long Nights by the Fire
This weekend, I went camping for the first time in years, although we ended up being able to fit everyone in the nearby (heated) cottage. We were only a few hours out of Toronto, near Durham, but we still could barely tell there was anyone else for miles – and the highlight of the night (after dinner, at least) was the campfire. I ended up volunteering to watch it alone for a while, while the others went inside for dessert, and I realized that I was kind of getting a glimpse into how next year will be:
It was cold. The half of me that wasn't facing the fire, despite being wrapped in warm clothing, was freezing (we woke up with a layer of frost on the grass).
I was exhausted, despite not doing much that day, because I wasn't bathed in artificial light and attached to the internet.
It was extremely dark – if I faced away from the cottage I could see nothing but the fire.
I was completely alone outside – and I had nothing to really think about. Next year, we're going to be doing rotating watches, so more often than not I'll be spending two hours a night doing exactly that – but I had a hard time with the ten minutes I spent on Saturday night. This should be interesting.
What would you think about, sitting alone staring at the fire for two hours in the middle if the night? How would you resist falling asleep?

Super cool news! Liz and his friends are flying off to Luxurious Lizard Lagoon—that is, if the plane ever takes off. Join Liz as he discovers that God's detours often lead to amazing adventures and new friends.Play Episode
Episode Theme: Being open to God's plan.
1. It's said that "hindsight is 20/20"—which just means that it's easier to see the big picture after something has happened rather than while it's happening. Romans 8:28 says that God has a good plan for you in every situation, even though sometimes we can only see it when we look back. Can you think of a time when something good came out of bad situation in your life?
2. Paul and Silas were preaching in the busy market of Philippi when they were thrown into jail (Acts 16:16-34). What a terrible thing to happen! But they didn't waste time feeling sorry for themselves. They prayed and sang songs to God so loudly that the other prisoners listened to them. Then Paul and Silas witnessed about Jesus to the head jailer and his family. Imagine all the people a Christian jailer could talk to about Jesus—both prisoners and their visitors! As you listen to this episode, think about places and times where you're with other people. How could you show Jesus to them?
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose"Romans 8:28
In this episode, Liz and his friends use an unpleasant situation to encourage someone near them. God has placed us where we are for a reason, even if we don't often understand what the reason is. Maybe it's a big opportunity to proclaim his name to a friend or neighbor, like Paul and Silas had. Maybe it's a small opportunity to show love to someone. In Matthew 10:42, Jesus points out that even just giving a cup of cold water to someone who needs it can be done in Jesus' name.
How can we bless the people around us? Often we're so busy looking ahead to the next thing in our lives that we ignore what and who are in front of us. Let's start with a smile and a positive attitude. As Grandpa pointed out, we can be examples of praising God in any circumstance. Purposefully being an encouragement to those around us is one step in trusting that every detail in our lives is worked into something good.
Want to dig deeper and learn more about God's plans and ours? Check out Proverbs 19:21, Isaiah 14:26-27, and Matthew 5:13-16.
On what day of the week are Liz and the whole group leaving for the Lizard Lagoon?
What phrase is Mr. Lagarto famous for saying?
"Welcome to the luxurious Lizard Lagoon!"
How long is the flight to Lizard Lagoon?
Two hours.
What did Grandpa's father used to say?
"Your delay is God's masterpiece."
What is Spike's favorite ride at the park?
The Goofy Gator.
It's amazing what even a smile can do to make someone's day. Remind yourself to be an encouragement to others by making a smiley-face charm. Print out a picture or emoji and glue it onto a sturdy piece of cardboard or plastic. On the other side, put a picture of a cross or a heart to remind you that God's plans are always for good. Cover it with clear tape to keep it protected, then attach it with a large safety pin to your backpack or bag. When you see it, think of the people God has placed around you who need a smile and a kind word. You may never know the impact you may have in their lives.

A Miami-Dade judge is ordering extra staffing at foster group homes after an employee was videotaped directing two boys to brawl in a vicious "cockfight."
Circuit Judge Michael Hanzman — ripping the state's maze of contracted private companies that are supposed to care for troubled children — called supervision at state-contracted foster group homes nothing more than "shift babysitters."
"While these 'caregivers' are supposedly trained to diffuse any violence, no 'backup' adult is ever present," Hanzman wrote in an order discussed at a hearing Wednesday in Miami-Dade dependency court.
The judge's order casts more scrutiny on Florida's Department of Children and Families and the private companies outsourced to care for children under state care. But whether foster group homes will comply with Hanzman's order remains up in the air. In court on Wednesday, a DCF attorney objected while two private companies asked for more time to research the mandate.
Another hearing will be held on Feb. 1.
Hanzman also asked lawyers to explain whether DCF even had the legal authority to contract, and subcontract, with so many different private agencies.
"Having four or more separate 'private' agencies feed at the public trough is wasteful, results in disparate care and treatment, and deprives children and families of needed services," Hanzman wrote. "It also allows for a lack of accountability, with each 'entity' pointing the finger at one another when the ball is dropped."
The judge's long-running frustration with DCF boiled over last week when video surfaced of an employee at a group home "encouraging and provoking" two 11-year-old boys to fight as other children cheered them on. One of the boys, identified only as J.W., was then committed to Jackson Memorial Hospital against his will for a psychiatric evaluation — another move that drew the ire of the judge.
The episode surfaced when J.W. missed a court date in which he and his siblings were to receive Christmas gifts. Hanzman ordered the boy released, a move the hospital initially refused to do, the judge wrote in his order released late Tuesday.
J.W., whose parents have lost their rights to care for him, was "calm and pleasant, as usual," when finally brought to a hearing. "He has never demonstrated any violent tendencies or shown signs of emotional instability," Hanzman wrote. "He is a smart, compassionate yet sad child."
The unidentified employee of the group home, operated by Children's Home Society of Florida, has since been fired. The two boys were moved from the group home. It took several weeks, but DCF eventually reported the suspected child abuse to police — another point of anger from the judge.
At an emergency hearing last week, Hanzman also ripped into DCF and Our Kids of Miami-Dade, which is contracted by the state to oversee foster care and hired CHS to run 11 group homes in this county. Maggie Dante, the local executive director of CHS, testified that only one staffer is on duty at any given time at the foster group homes.
"This one particular staffer is not a reflection of the work we do every day with these children," Dante told the judge last week.
Hanzman ordered that two staffers must now be required to be in every group home that has children in state care. While DCF did not respond in court, a spokeswoman told the Miami Herald that Florida law "authorizes lead agencies to subcontract" services.
Also on Wednesday, Hanzman declined to allow parents who have lost their rights to children in CHS group homes to be a party to the legal proceedings.

MASFAA Charity Sponsorship
The MASFAA Conference is pleased to announce "Compass Working Capital" as our selected charity to sponsor for 2017.
"Compass Working Capital ("Compass") is an anti-poverty organization that provides financial services to families with low income. Our mission is to empower families to build savings and assets as a pathway out of poverty. Starting in 2005 with a group of 10 families in the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, our work has grown to serve 1,200 families each year in three states. Since 2016, we have operated a national network to provide training and technical assistance on our program model to implementing partners in communities across the country.
We take an entrepreneurial, iterative approach to our programs and focus on research, data, and evaluation to get at what really works when it comes to lifting families out of poverty. We believe that all families deserve the opportunity to save for and invest in their future, and that our national approach to the problem of poverty should empower families to do just that. Our work builds on the research and practice of a broader asset building field, which has demonstrated the key role that financial security plays in lifting families out of poverty. Our broader vision is to build a leading nonprofit organization that promotes financial security and economic mobility for working, low-income families by influencing field-related practice and policy.

by Garret Ean
Dec 15 2011
As of Monday, December 12, it was confirmed that the court had received homework assignments from both parties in the case of State v. Garret Ean. At the end of the trial, the judge had asked for legal memos to support arguments made by both sides. Though I would have much preferred a ruling on the spot, in retrospect I am glad that the judge gave me a chance to formulate written arguments to demonstrate the State's lack of a case. Just through questioning John Patti, I was only able to reveal so much about the case. The memo assignment enabled relevant details to be organized into a single presentation.
The prosecutor's memo struck me with its unnecessary thickness. The memo was organized to the extent that it begins with legal arguments, but more than half of the final documents in the 79 page submission are completely irrelevant details obtained from house and senate hearings on the disorderly conduct statute in 2005. Much like the discovery packet, and a great portion of the Chalking 8 case itself, the State is throwing papers at the problem until one of them addresses the issue. With more Chalking 8 trials on the horizon, the State's evidence will grow flimsier as the first not-guilty findings begin being issued. Rulings are expected to roll in around the new year.
See my two page memo striking to the root of the matter, and Attorney Greg Muller's legalese composition below.
Defendant's Memo of Law 2 page .pdf
Prosecutor's Memo of Law 79 page .pdf
Pete Eyre, arrested at the same time as myself and who also has already had his trial, has uploaded both his own memo as well as Greg Muller's 44 page memo from that case, which addresses different issues than were raised in mine.

Overall a gorgeous property. Again, some issues about rooms upon arrival. Didn't have our luxury rooms, so put us in a standard room (which were gorgeous and perfectly fine) for the first night. Then moved us to new suites which weren't ready yet (floors dirty, paint wet, cabinets missing drawers, no working wifi, non-functional pool) for the last two nights. We'd have been fine staying in the original rooms.…Read full trip review

ATHENS — A man who bought a Chevrolet Corvette on Monday crashed the car that evening in an alleged drunken driving crash on Hartland Road, police said.
Robert Smith, 71, of the coastal Hancock County town of Brooklin, is charged with operating under the influence and operating without a license in connection with the crash, according to Chief Deputy James Ross, of the Somerset County Sheriff's Office.
The sheriff's office was called to deal with the single-vehicle rollover with entrapment around 10 p.m. Monday in the area of 520 Hartland Road.
Smith's arm was pinned under the car, a blue Corvette, and he was taken by ambulance to Redington-Fairview General Hospital in Skowhegan for treatment of injuries that were not considered life-threatening, Ross said.
Smith has a conditional license because of a prior OUI conviction and is restricted to operating a vehicle only with a functioning interlock system, a device that requires a driver to blow into a breathalyzer before starting the vehicle.
Because the Corvette did not have an interlock system, Smith was operating beyond his license restrictions, Ross said.
Somerset County Sheriff's Deputy Ron Blodgett handled the call and was assisted by Maine State Police and fire departments from Athens, Harmony and Skowhegan.
The Corvette was towed from the scene. Ross said Monday that he was unsure of the extent of the damage, but he said "it probably didn't fare well going upside down."

The Flames convincing win over the Oilers on Saturday night seems to have washed the away any lingering sour notes from the club's 0-2-1 start. Calgary certainly looked like a different team on HNIC relative to the prior three games. Their transition play was much smoother and they managed to more or less put together a full 60-minute effort, whereas they spent long portions of the other evenings being completely dominated to one degree or another.
Of course, it's hard what to make of a single performance this early in the season. Especially against an opponent like the Oilers, whom, for all their young talent, still have very real issues throughout their roster. Certainly the insertion of Hudler and Cervenka as well as the sudden awakening of Bouwmeester seemed like things that should continue indefinitely, the truth is we really can't be certain until we see similar efforts throughout the season. And against better teams to boot.
– Saturday night was also a perfect example of why the goon is an anachronism in the modern NHL. First, Don Cherry in all his bluster claimed the Toronto Maple Leafs were clearly a different team wtith "more swagger" in their play thanks to the insertion of guys like Brown and Orr into their line-up. This was after the first period in which the Leafs were outshot 14-3 but nevertheless led 2-0.
The rest of the story is predictable. Toronto ended up losing the game 5-2 and were outshot handily by New York, 41-17. Colton Orr played less than 4 minutes and had one fight, naturally spending more time in the box than on the ice.
– Darcy Hodichuk's night was even more unproductive for the Oilers. He played three shifts (less than two minutes total), took a useless cross-checking penalty (a PP the Flames scored on) and was generally a liability. Calgary didn't dress an enforcer type at all, opting for a 4th line of Baertschi, Jones and Comeau and mostly ran away with the game.
So much for swagger.
– Related: back in 2008 I wrote my first rant against the role of the goon called Ditch the Enforcer (hilariously pilfered in full by this random blog). In it, I noted one of the easiest and best ways to neuter the opposition's tough guy is to simply not dress one of your own (since heavyweights only ever seem to fight other heavyweights). The counter-argument always seems to be that the bad guys will run rough shod over the home team physically if they don't dress their own nuclear deterrent.
The truth, however, is usually closer to what you saw in Calgary on Saturday: if the opposition is running a functional 4th line, it's difficult for the tough guy's coach to justify giving him any ice time at all since he's bound to struggle at the actual hockey portion of things.
– Although Calgary still doesn't have a true PvP line or Selke caliber player, there's no doubt they have greater offensive depth than the last few seasons as evidenced by the fact they can ice two relative good PP units. This of course depends on just how well Cervenka adapats to NHL hockey (he looked fine Satruday night) and if Lee Stempniak can continue to play like an all-star, but it's refreshing so far.
– I am surprised Bob Hartley decided to put Cervenka on the wing and stick with Tanguay at center. Everything obviously worked out fine versus the Oilers, but one wonders how well Alex is going to perform as a pivot in the long-term. My worries aren't really face-offs, but the on-going demands of the position, particularly in the defensve zone. Tanguay has had some problems in the previous games getting the job done anywhere but the offensive areas, so with another center (or two if you count Hudler) in the line-up, it makes sense to me to move Tanguay back to LW. This would also help get Mikael Backlund (who had the best possession rate on the team on Saturday by the way). Something like this:
- Tanguay-Backlund-Iginla
- Cammalleri – Cervenka – Hudler
- Glencross – Stajan – Stempniak
- Jackman/Baertschi – Jones – Comeau
– As for Baertschi, he looked fine on a line with Jones and that trio generated more than one 10-bell chance. That said, if this persists and they can't get him on the ice for more than 5 or 6 minutes per night, Sven should probably go back to Abbotsford and play top-line minutes there.
– Also, with TJ Brodie usurping Chris Butler and guys like Babchuk and Carson waiting around as depth options, it might make sense for the Flames to start shopping the former Buffalo Sabre around. There seems to be a big appetite for depth defenders around the league so Calgary could get a nice return for a guy the coach doesn't seem to have much time for. This isn't something they have to do immediately, but should be seriously considered if Hartley sits Butler for another week or two.
– I know we've discussed this before, but if the Flames could get rid of Stajan and replace him with Ryan O'Reilly, their roster suddenly looks so much better. O' Reilly remains unsigned and I imagine the Avs would listen to trade offers at this point as well. Of course, if their demands are unreasonable, there's always the offer-sheet…
Either way, Calgary would obviously have to free up salary space to ink the kid. Moving Butler and Stajan (somehow) and demoting Baertschi would probably do the trick.

Missileman: The Secret Life of Cold War Engineer Wallace Clauson (Hardcover)
By John Clauson and Alice Sullivan
Also available in digital format here.
Product Description
John Clauson grew up believing he was the son of an IBM salesman. Though the family moved often and John's father, Wallace Clauson, rarely spoke of his work, his family never questioned him nor seemed to notice the inconsistencies and oddities apparent in their daily life. Only decades later, while in his mid-30s, did John finally learn the truth from his father as he was dying of cancer. For over forty years, being an IBM salesman was just a cover. Wallace's real job was with IBM's covert Federal Systems Group where, as a mathematical and mechanical savant, he took his orders from the Department of Defense and was charged with ensuring America's arsenal of nuclear missiles hit their targets.
Over the span of three days, as he and his father built a backyard fence, John learned his father's hidden story—how Wallace Clauson has been recruited from an Iowa farm due to an error in a high school textbook. He learned of a meeting with Einstein, and about his father's role in the Cold War, and NASA and Iranian missiles.
Stunned into silence and left to question the entire fabric of his youth, John wanted only to forget his father's words. In fact, for the next fifteen years, he never spoke about what his father had confessed over that weekend. But he couldn't truly forget. Upon his father's death, John was given his father's workbench, which contained a hidden packet of business cards—Wallace's final plea to have his story told. Thus the journey toward discovering the extraordinary clandestine life and career of Wallace Clauson began.
Missileman is the story of that journey. It is the true account of how Wallace Clauson kept his real work hidden from his family and his neighbors for fifty years. Moving every few years, even living for a period Zurich, Switzerland, Clauson led a life full of anxiety and suspicion. Missileman tells how Clauson would always check flight manifests before flying and would be the last one on the plane to make sure no unregistered passenger had embarked. How he always backed into his driveway to ensure a quick getaway if necessary. How he had his son's car fitted with a GPS transmitter—in the 1970s! How in Switzerland they lived in a house with a secret passageway leading to an underground meeting room. And how the family was always watched by multiple agents to ensure their safety.
Missileman is a story of intrigue and wonder and discovery as son John Clauson reveals how his father, a stealth government agent working against the Russians during the Cold War, somehow managed to maintain a double life and keep his family safe and sheltered from the many dangers inherent in his secret life as a missileman.
About the Author
John Clauson spent thirty-five years in the medical device industry selling Band-Aids to vascular stents, and everything in between. The last sixteen years Clauson has been the VP of corporate accounts at C.R. Bard, covering the West Coast. Upon retirement, he decided to focus his attention on researching and telling his father's story, giving him the credit he deserves.

This captivating book is about the author's father, Wallace Clauson. He is now being recognized as one of the most outstanding and valuable citizens in our country during the The Cold War period and the development period relating to nuclear weapons and their delivery. As a neighbor, I knew Wallace Clauson and his family very well. We had similar family backgrounds and many unique similar interests. However, during the years of acquaintance, his second life as an undercover person working at the highest level in top governmental operations were never revealed to me and I simply did not have a clue as to his true job.
This fascinating book by John is accurate in terms of people, facts,times, and places. All I can state further is- WOW. This book has opened up a vast area of inquiry about Wallace Clauson - a genius and an almost unknown servant to this country.

WATCH D.O.G.S. (Dads Of Great Students) is an innovative father involvement, educational initiative of the National Center For Fathering. There are two primary goals of the WATCH D.O.G.S. program.
1) To provide positive male role models for the students, demonstrating by their presence that education is important.
2) To provide extra sets of eyes and ears to enhance school security and reduce bullying.
WATCH D.O.G.S. began in 1998 in a single school in Springdale, Arkansas and has since grown into a national recognized program that has brought hundreds of thousands of fathers and father figures into the school classrooms and hallways across the country, creating millions of hours of "in school" volunteer time and having a tremendously positive impact on the educational process. Today more than 5,348 schools in 47 states plus DC participate in WATCH D.O.G.S. Currently, there are WATCH D.O.G.S. programs in China, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Barbados.

Treacherous Motorcycle Tricks
There are many things that set motorcycles apart from cars and other automobiles. The increased maneuverability of motorcycles means they can potentially be used for a variety of stunts. While motorcycle tricks can be entertaining to behold and are the focal point of some competitive motorcycle-based events, they are also incredibly dangerous for riders and nearby pedestrians alike.
Motorcyclists often ride together, which may leave you vulnerable to the reckless riding of another person. If you are hurt in a crash that is caused by another rider's negligence, it may be appropriate to consider filing a civil claim. A successful legal action might grant you financial compensation for your injuries, motorcycle repairs, and other damages as befitting the circumstances of your crash. Contact the Wisconsin motorcycle accident lawyers of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ®, at 800-242-2874.
Frequent Tricks
There are a variety of stunts or tricks that can be performed on a motorcycle. Some of the more frequently attempted tricks include:
- Seat stands – in which the rider stands on the bike seat
- Wheelie – riding on the rear wheel of the bike
- Stoppies – in which the rider brings a bike to a stop on the front wheel with the rear in the air
- Jumps – typically over or off of a curb
The decision to attempt to perform motorcycle tricks on open streets and roadways is made even more confounding when one considers the degree of danger that accompanies even the most basic motorcycle riding. The lack of an enclosed and protected cabin means that a motorcyclist is virtually guaranteed to have a forceful collision with the road surface and any other objects present in the event of a crash.
Contact Us
If you have been injured by another rider's reckless handling of a motorcycle then we might be able to help. Contact the Wisconsin motorcycle accident lawyers of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ® at 800-242-2874.

By Devan Mighton – Originally published in the Lakeshore News and Tecumseh Shoreline on Apr. 27, 2017

(WINDSOR, ON) – The Windsor Clippers Junior B lacrosse club are about to embark on their 15th season, but with a younger cast and crew than previously expected.
Winners of 11 Far-West Division titles since their founding in 2003, the Clippers are coming off a landmark season in which they achieved their second highest playoff seeding in team history and a trip to the Western Conference final.
But success will bring attention.
"I think the problem with being successful is that teams come looking," said head coach Jerry Kavanaugh. "If we were one of those mediocre Junior B teams, no one would care about our players. The fact that they're coming and asking our guys to move up to the next level, I think, is encouraging to the rest of our guys."
Last year's club was led by Logan Holmes, now the property of the National Lacrosse League's Buffalo Bandits, who shattered the Clippers' season and career scoring marks on his way to the Ontario Junior B Lacrosse League's scoring title. Holmes also made waves this winter by scoring the first goal in the Arena Lacrosse League's history with a highlight reel snipe for the Paris RiverWolves.
Along with the loss of Holmes and fellow scoring machine Ryan Marchand, the Clippers are also bleeding talent to Junior A.
Patrick Kaschalk, an uber-talented transition player, is walking into a position with the Burlington Chiefs of the Ontario Junior A Lacrosse League, while Josh Jubenville and Liam Leclair will step up with the Six Nations Arrows.
Kavanaugh pointed out that these three graduates were forged in the Clippers' trenches, learning their craft here at home before making the jump.
"[It shows] you don't have to make that jump to Junior A right away; you can play most of your career here," said Kavanaugh. "Later on, as you get older, you feel it is the best move, you can make that decision then."
Giving credit to the management skills of president Mike Soulliere and alum/vice-president Andrew Soulliere, he added: "the fact that we're in the top four or five teams in the league, seems like every year – looks like we're doing something right."
Prime examples of this locally born, home-brew talent are the newly minted leaders of the 2017 team – team captain Andrew Garant and assistants James Morgan and Austin Thompson.
The three bring a wealth of experience to the forefront of the Clippers organization.
Thompson and Morgan are both proficient transition players who play with as much heart as they exhibit talent. Morgan has one more year of eligibility, while Thompson will graduate at the end of the season.
"Obviously, two guys that lead by example," said Coach Kavanaugh. "James Morgan is 100-m.p.h. whenever he's on the floor and Austin Thompson, again, a fifth-year guy who's been here a long time and knows what it takes to win here. We're counting on those guys, obviously, to be big parts."
Garant, known as "Hammer" to his teammates, is entering his fifth year with the club. He sits sixth on Windsor's all-time scoring list, back 123 points of Holmes.
Garant is coming off a 37-goal, 108-point season, and has served as a juggernaut on Windsor's special teams for the past few years.
He will spend his off-nights showcasing his abilities in Junior A with the Orangeville Northmen, a systems-oriented squad that will serve as a good second home for the dynamic Clipper.
"He's got some big shoes to fill," said Kavanaugh of Garant taking over for Holmes. "Hammer's been wearing a letter for a few years, so he's ready for that."
Garant's objective this year? "Just leading this young team."
"Our story isn't finished yet," explained Garant. "We made it to the conference finals last year and our goal is still the same as any other year before. I hope we're going to go to the Founders [Cup national championship] and that's still the goal."
The new captain knows that he may have to steer the ship early on, but he anticipates that everyone will find their place and man their station.
"We're definitely young this year, but I think we're going to be good," added Captain Garant. "I know people are doubting us right now because we did lose a lot of good guys like Logan Holmes and Ryan Marchand and guys like that, but I know this team's going to be good.
"We're going to be young, but all the young kids coming up, they've played good ball in minor, so I think we're going to be really solid this year and hard to beat."
Young and talented, the Clippers will have quite a few fresh faces. Some of the rookies will be seeing a lot of floor time – especially on offence.
"Losing the guys we lost, looks like [Nathan] Salaris and [Jackman] Schooley will be starting on the right side and [Jake] Rosa will be starting on the left side with us," said Kavanaugh.
Rosa, a 17-year-old rookie, feels that his hard work, speed, and his ability to make offence will make him an asset to his teammates.
"I'm just looking forward to playing with a bunch of new guys – older guys," said the freshman. "I've been looking up to these guys for quite some time now and I'm just excited to play by their side."
He added: "We've got a young team here. We can still go really far if we work together and just keep thinking positive."
Patrick Kaschalk will start the year with Windsor, but will likely be replaced by a fresh face once he jumps to Junior A. Meanwhile, veterans Craig Marentette, Dylan Riley and Steve Jaworski are off at college and may be delayed in their return to the club.
The Clippers will also be sporting a crowded crease.
With last year's starter, Brayden Bell, returning to the Point Edward Pacers, Windsor has rostered three goalies in hopes that one will establish himself.
"Someone's got to take over for Beller," explained Kavanaugh. "[Jacob] Corra's a fifth-year guy, we're hoping he can move in … we're hoping he can be that guy."
Corra was the starter for the Clippers during the 2015 campaign but was relegated to third-string last season with the acquisition of Bell and work commitments getting in the way.
With that in mind, the Clippers have chosen to bring in a pair of 2000-born netminders, fresh out of midget to keep the long-time vet on his toes – Windsor's Joel Evans and Centre Wellington's Carsen Hebner. Hebner will split his time with the Windsor Warlocks intermediates.
"It's not a bad thing to have a battle for floor time," said their coach. "I think all three had moments in the pre-season that looked really good and they had moments where they need to get better."
The big question mark this season will be the level of competition within their own division.
The ever-struggling London Blue Devils appear to be falling out of the gate once again. As of last weekend, they are already 0-3 on the season, having suffered blowout loses to the Six Nations Rebels and Wallaceburg Red Devils.
Point Edward will get a big boost from the return of Bell between the pipes and stand to make gains from a vibrant youth movement coming up from midget, while the Red Devils are chocked full of veteran talent and very decent off-season acquisitions from the Rebels.
The Clippers stand to gain from the increase in intra-divisional competition, as inconsistent opponents, in the past, have often broken team synergy leading up to the playoffs.
"In the last few years, we've been able to run the table in our division and we've kinda been unchallenged," said Kavanaugh. "It wouldn't break my heart to battle for some wins in the division – which would be good for us in the long run."
The Windsor Clippers began their season on Wednesday in London, but their home opener will be at 7 p.m. at the Forest Glade Arena on Saturday as they host the Hamilton Bengals.
Home schedule:
*Saturday, Apr. 29 vs. Hamilton Bengals @ 7 p.m.
*Sunday, May 7 vs. Wallaceburg Red Devils @ 7 p.m.
*Thursday, May 11 vs. London Blue Devils @ 8 p.m.

What is a Rai Stone?
Rai stones are large circular disks that are carved out of limestone, which were used as a form of currency on Yap; an island in Micronesia. These stones were huge and heavy, so the act of paying for something with them, was done by agreeing orally that a trade had occurred.
Each stones value is determined by its size, craftsmanship and history.

A New Project
Someday, when it's "done" and I've said all I wanted to say on the matter, I'll have it bound and keep it on our bookshelves as a history, so to speak. I believe it is important to document what has gone on these past few years concerning DH's FOO. I want it to be public knowledge that our children know what has happened and see the struggles their daddy has gone through. I want them to know where he came from and see how hard he has worked, and will continue working, to break the dysfunctional chains his parents wrapped so tightly around him. If our children so choose, they can share that history with their children as well.
I think it is crucial that we share with our descendents their history - all facets, good and bad. Doing so may not prevent such ugliness in their own lives, but it is, at least, a start. I hope I can help my children open their eyes, so that they are awake and aware.
I've also toyed with the idea of leaving a copy somewhere in the house the next time we do major construction, like behind a wall or under a loose floorboard. There is something very liberating to me about the idea that I can share this bit of history with others...that they can hold it in their hands and be enlightened, even if they only happen upon it accidentally. Through that piece of writing, they too can know of my husband's struggles and our fight to break free.
[Whispering] You want to know a secret? I'll let you in on it. What the narcissists hate most of all is to be revealed. They hate those they can not fool. They feel powerless when they are exposed. You want some of your power back, Dear Reader? Then expose them. In whatever way you can, with whatever courage you can muster (and I know you have it in you): Expose them. A little bit at a time, or all at once, it doesn't matter. If you keep fighting the good fight, the narcissists don't stand a chance. You can do it.

Aw man, if I was a kid, I'd love to have something like that from my dad or about my dad. A story like that? That's something I've always dreamed of from my parents! I would've loved it! Didn't happen.ReplyDeleteReplies
DH would have been thrilled to get something like that from his parents too, I'm sure. But that's the point isn't it? They would NEVER reveal that kind of ugliness about themselves, certainly not without hidden motives. The only reason I could see them sharing information about their pasts or family histories would be to try an invoke pity or guilt in the person to whom they were speaking. Other than that, Narcs don't share. They bring their dark secrets to the grave with them.Delete

Oh yeah, that's what makes them narcs.Delete
I love the idea of hiding a copy to be found in the future.ReplyDelete
Not really comparable I know, but a few years ago in the UK, a family were having their old chimney renovated. It was a really old house. Caught in the bricks inside the chimney,they found a child's handwritten letter to Father Christmas, dated 1911.Replies
Nyssa - Thanks for sharing - if I found something like that in my house, I'd call it a treasure.Delete
DH found an old sock in the wall when we were renovating our bathroom and I was like, "Score! We got ourselves a piece of history!" So a letter to Santa? Gosh, that would be so cool.

I think it's a GREAT idea! With patience and your personal truth the EPs will "out themselves" to the community at large even without our help. It's as if they can't resist denigrating the living crap out of their Adult Child and in doing so (and so indiscriminately) after awhile some in the "audience" are confronted by one very clear reality: "If they "love" their kid so damn much, why would they speak so poorly about them? If the AC is such a PITA don't you think these "parents" would be relieved to no longer have these ingrates in their lives?"ReplyDelete
Because the EP's are so frantic about loosing their appendage that's ALL they can gossip about with others. The "Others" begin to avoid them because they also see why the AC would terminate the relationship-and so do they! TWReplies
Anon - I think you're right, it is inevitable that at least some of the people these narcs come in contact with will not be fooled by the charade. The narcs always out themselves to those of us who are enlightened and strong enough to stand up to them.Delete
They may not fool everyone. I think there will always be some in their inner circle who chose to remain ignorant. But the rest of us...we aren't fooled!
Hmm. That's an interesting project. And it seems like a fantastic idea, too. (The documentation ... not sure about leaving it in the house, but then I'm a journalist and weird about copyright and people stealing stories and all that stuff.)
I, too, started my blog to keep track of what was really happening. I had been so gaslighted for so many years that I was at the point where I doubted myself continuously. I doubted everything I heard or said because the Ns made me feel like I was unwell and making shit up. So, I started writing it down. At least, the plan was to start slow, but a few days after starting my blog, my life completely went kooky over one simple request. I'm glad I kept documenting it all, though.
Your blog post made me think ... and I'm thinking that I'll go back and save everything I've written at The Hardest Battle, and PDF it so the kids will have the stories all there to know the past when they are older. They have questions now, but they will probably have many, many more as they grow up and eventually become parents. They'll want to know what exactly happened. And I'll break out the 13 volume set. (LOL)
Best to you in this new project!Replies
Thank you, Kiki.Delete
You know, there really is something to be said for putting in the kind of effort you're putting in (to tell the truth, to be heard, and now with the possibility of keeping a record of all of it for your children.)
And, good point about the copyrighting...I'll have to mull that over for a while.
