Lady Eagles Run Rampant Against Menard
ELDORADO, TX-- It took three innings for the Eldorado Lady Eagles to bury District 5-2A foe Menard 15-0 at the Schleicher County Park softball field on Tuesday.
Well, really the Lady Eagles needed just two innings after not scoring a run in the opening frame. Following the scoreless first inning, the Lady Eagles sent 15 batters to the plate to score 11 runs in the second.
"Our bats weren't alive in the first inning, then we came out in the second and jumped on [Menard]," said Eldorado Head Coach Abby Ramos. "That really helped us a lot."
The Lady Eagles tallied nine of their 15 total hits before the Lady Yellowjackets posted an out in the bottom of the second.
Eldorado's pitcher Monica Sanchez stymied Menard for just one hit in the three inning game. Sanchez would also tally five strikeouts while also not allowing any other baserunner aside from the lone hit to get the win.
In the bottom of the third, the Lady Eagles put an end to the rout with a four-run inning capped off by a walkoff, inside-the-park home run by CJ Covarrubiaz.
Regina Alvizo went 2-for-3 at the plate with three RBIs and two runs scored for Eldorado. Jadyn Martinez matched Alvizo's RBI mark and scored a run in her 1-for-2 performance at the plate.
Andi Morris was the only Lady Eagle to go 3-for-3 at the plate. Morris also scored two runs for Eldorado.
An explosive win like this has the potential to create momentum for the Lady Eagles heading into their final two district games.
"It's possible. They've just got to believe in themselves," Ramos said of her team. "They're hot right now and I hope it will carry them through Mason and absolutely through Junction because that's a big one for us."
The Lady Eagles (6-11, 3-5) hope to get some help from Ozona against Junction (3-16, 2-5) and will travel to face district front-runner Mason (10-4, 8-0) on Friday, April 13, at 5 p.m.
Menard falls to 0-7 in district play heading into their Friday clash with Junction on the road.

In Romans 7 the Apostle Paul cries out in frustration:
Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death?
Not Doing What We Should
Sometimes we all feel that way – it seems we can't do anything right. Before we know it we've done something to displease God or a loved one, and we wonder if we'll ever improve. Then we read the story of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10, and we question whether we could ever be so caring and as generous as he was.
I believe that's why the parable of the Good Samaritan and similar teachings are in the Bible – to remind us that we are called to a higher purpose.
•We are called to get out of our comfort zones – although we should never put ourselves in danger, of course.
•We are called to make sacrifices to the glory of God.
•We are called to help others as opportunities present themselves and as we are urged to do so by the Holy Spirit.
When we help others, it is as if we were helping Jesus himself, as we read in Matthew 25:37-40 (NRSV):
"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink? And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing? And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?' And the king will answer them, 'Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.'"
As mentioned earlier, the Apostle Paul was obviously frustrated with himself, that he didn't always do the right thing either. We can see his frustration in Romans 7:21-24a:
I have discovered this principle of life—that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong. I love God's law with all my heart. But there is another power within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me. Oh, what a miserable person I am! NLT

Malcolm holds that Redfellow Hovel is the natural successor to the Stoa Poikile, a place where calm, philosophic dialogue and elevated thought is the rational norm.
Only yesterday, Malcolm was in his porch in an exchange with a tin of Dulux Brilliant White emulsion. Thus he feels the link to the Athenian 'painted porch' (Geddit?) is particularly apt.
On the other hand …
Elsewhere in the Hovel there is a line-up of five of those complimentary meerkat dolls. The most recent additions being Vassily (as above) and Maiya. Only one to go (Yakov, since you are so concerned).
From this the outsider may properly intuit there is another layer to life at the Hovel: something more manic.
As for Vassily, Malcolm recalls a time when similar dress was natural for the tormented soul of a Boho poet. Thom Gunn leaps to mind: the likeness is startling. And there's Gunn's Cat Island:
Sensible bourgeois
wild-cats working
with the furred impudence
of those who don't pretend
to be other than whores,
they give you not
the semblance of love
but simply
a look at their beauty
in return for food.
Models, not escorts.
They lack, too,
the prostitute's self-pity,
being beyond shame.
And we lack
what they have.
Sensible bourgeois wild-cats … who don't pretend to be other than whores — got to be advertising types.
Which is why Malcolm believes there must be enormous dramatic and comic, even philosophical, potential in the day the VCCP agency floated the whole comparethemeerkat.com thing. Somewhere between logic and lunacy.
Any ad campaign that runs for nearly four years (the first Alexsandr Orlov spot was as long ago as January, 2009) has become venerable. This one seems to have some suricate [✱] legs still left.
Malcolm's American grandsons regard Alexsandr & Co. as the ultimate examples of British cool.
And the Lady in Malcolm's Life (at her most printable, bourgeoise and epicene) now responds to being cut up on a roundabout with 'Son of a mongoose!'
Socratean, this post is not.
[✱] From wikipedia:
The meerkat or suricate, Suricata suricatta, is a small mammal belonging to the mongoose family. Meerkats live in all parts of theKalahari Desert in Botswana, in much of the Namib Desert in Namibia and southwestern Angola, and in South Africa. A group of meerkats is called a "mob", "gang" or "clan". A meerkat clan often contains about 20 meerkats, but some super-families have 50 or more members. In captivity, meerkats have an average life span of 12–14 years, and about half this in the wild.

It wasn't supposed to be like this, a cruise for the final two weeks — even if the Rangers had been cruising in their self-made malaise for closer to six weeks. But just as all that uncertainty hovered at the start of this soft-transition year for the organization, so it does again as the new season is upon us.
With Sunday night's meaningless 3-2 win over the Penguins at the Garden representing the finale of this 82-game grind, the Rangers (48-28-6, 102 points) can now officially focus on their first-round matchup with the Canadiens, which will begin Wednesday at 7 p.m. in Montreal. That will be a different animal, a different challenge for this group that should be commended for coming together to achieve a seventh straight playoff berth.
But the commendations stop now. The Rangers' accomplishments are officially in the past, and what is in front of them is only tangentially related. They know that as well as anyone.
"Come [Monday] morning, what happened so far for each and every player, the page is turned," coach Alain Vigneault said Sunday night. "Everybody has a clean slate."
So, just as it did seven months ago, the question arises again of who the Rangers really are, and how they will react under more pressure and tighter spaces.
The most unstable leg of the table is still the defense, and Vigneault has a big decision to make for the Game 1 lineup. Who on the right side is going to sit: Dan Girardi, Kevin Klein, or Nick Holden?
"I'm not sharing that with you," Vigneault said about his overall postseason lineup, "but I've got a pretty good idea."
It's very difficult to think Vigneault would sit Girardi, whose best moments in a bounce-back year — which isn't saying much — have come alongside rejuvenated captain Ryan McDonagh. A more steady year from Marc Staal hit a peak mid-season when skating with Holden on the right, but over the past month or so, Holden has struggled mightily while Klein hasn't been much better.
It's been a terrific rookie campaign for lefty blueliner Brady Skjei, who has only gotten better as the season has gone on. If he's alongside newcomer Brendan Smith — or anyone else for that matter — it should be hard for Vigneault to play him less than 20 minutes a night.
As for the offense, it was impossible to predict how all of the new pieces were going to meld. Trading away Derick Brassard for Mika Zibanejad was a financial move that also got the team younger. Zibanejad showed his ability with early-season success, but after missing two months with a broken leg, has struggled to regain the same level since returning on Jan. 17. Whereas Brassard lived for the postseason, it's to be seen if the same can be said about Zibanejad.
As for the maturation of young guns J.T. Miller, Chris Kreider and Kevin Hayes, all had good regular seasons. Yet the bad Miller has resurfaced as of late, making the type of decisions with the puck that lose playoff games. Hayes' game has leveled off, and Kreider still disappears for entire stretches. (That game in Ottawa on Saturday was also meaningless, but, as one might say, did you see Chris?)
Of course, the ghosts of postseasons past still reside with Rick Nash, and a successful exorcism would be, well, head-turning indeed.
If there was one stable factor going into the regular season, it was the decade-long bedrock in goal, but Henrik Lundqvist went through a very strange, stop-and-start, up-and-down season. Following an almost three-week absence due to a hip injury, he has recently worked his way back into form over the past few starts — and numbers be damned if you've been masochistic enough to watch the split-squad rosters try to play defense in front of him.
So thinking back to September would be to think of another time altogether for these Rangers. Very quickly, expectations went from very low to very high.
But now begins a new season, and once again, the Rangers are faced with a glut of uncertainty. If they surprised with their success to this point, realize they're going to have to prove themselves all over again.

Thank you for visiting our website in your search for "What Is Affluence Network On Page Optimization" online.
Cryptocurrency is freeing people to transact cash and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in an identical way, but they also get involved in more sophisticated smart contracts. Multiple signatures enable a trade to be supported by the network, but where a certain number of a defined group of people consent to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This permits innovative dispute arbitration services to be developed in the future. These services could enable a third party to approve or reject a trade in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their cash. Unlike cash and other payment methods, the blockchain constantly leaves public proof that a transaction happened. This can be potentially used in a appeal against companies with deceptive practices.
Since one of the earliest forms of earning money is in cash lending, it is a fact which you can do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the giving websites currently focus on Bitcoin, Some of these websites you happen to be required fill in a captcha after a particular time frame and are rewarded with a small quantity of coins for seeing them. You can see the www.cryptofunds.co site to find some lists of of these websites to tap into the currency of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have very different dynamics. New ones are constantly popping up which means they do not have a lot of market data and historical perspective for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have fairly poor liquidity as well and it is hard to produce a reasonable investment strategy.
Just a fraction of bitcoins issued so far are available on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, this means the cost a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Many people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This limits the number of bitcoins that are truly circulating in the exchanges. In addition, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. So, even the most diligent buyer could not purchase all existing bitcoins. This scenario isn't to imply that markets will not be exposed to price exploitation, yet there exists no need for substantial sums of cash to transfer market prices up or down. The slightest occasions on earth economy can change the cost of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive.

It should be hard to get more modest gains (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study how to read these Candlestick charts! And I found these two rules to be true: having small gains is more profitable than attempting to fight up to the summit. Most day traders follow Candlestick, therefore it is better to take a look at novels than wait for order confirmation when you think the cost is going down. Second, there is more volatility and reward in currencies that haven't made it to the profitableness of sites like Coinwarz.
It is definitely possible, but it must have the ability to understand opportunities irrespective of marketplace behaviour. The market moves in relation to price BTC … So even if it's in a BTC tendency down can make money by purchasing the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC.

In case of a fully-functioning cryptocurrency, it may perhaps be dealt being a commodity. Promoters of cryptocurrencies say that this form of digital income isn't manipulated by a fundamental banking system and is not thus subject to the whims of its inflation. Since there are a restricted quantity of products, this cash's price is dependant on market forces, permitting owners to business over cryptocurrency exchanges.
Here is the trendiest thing about cryptocurrencies; they don't physically exist anywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you take a look at a particular address for a wallet featuring a cryptocurrency, there's no digital information held in it, like in precisely the same manner that the bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It really is simply a representation of value, but there's no genuine tangible kind of that value. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be confiscated or frozen or audited by the banks and the law. They do not have spending limits and withdrawal restrictions imposed on them. No one but the person who owns the crypto wallet can determine how their wealth will be managed.

A lot of people would rather use a currency deflation, especially those that desire to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some uses than others. Financial seclusion, for example, is excellent for political activists, but more problematic when it comes to political campaign financing. We need a stable cryptocurrency for use in trade; if you're living paycheck to paycheck, it would happen included in your riches, with the remainder reserved for other currencies.
For most users of cryptocurrencies it's not essential to comprehend how the process operates in and of itself, but it's essentially vital that you comprehend that there is a procedure for mining to create virtual money. Unlike currencies as we understand them today where Authorities and banks can just choose to print unlimited numbers (I 'm not saying they're doing thus, only one point), cryptocurrencies to be operated by users using a mining application, which solves the advanced algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation.
The physical Internet backbone that carries data between the different nodes of the network is currently the work of a number of firms called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes firms offering long distance pipelines, occasionally at the international level, regional local conduit, which finally connects in households and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only happen through any of these ISPs, players like amount 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP operates its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private businesses, and occasionally by Authorities, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to move messages across the network. Many ISPs have arrangements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for last mile-consumers and businesses who want to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network makes it possible for the data to flow without interruption, in the right area at the perfect time.
While none of these organizations possesses the Internet collectively these businesses decide how it works, and recognized rules and standards that everyone remains. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that is happening to ascertain how things work and what happens if something goes wrong. To get a domain name, for example, one needs permission from a Registrar, which has a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to attach to and with her. Concern over security problems? A working group is formed to work with the issue and the solution developed and deployed is in the interest of most parties. If the Internet is down, you have someone to phone to get it fixed. If the difficulty is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts set up and service level agreements, which govern the way in which these issues are solved.
The benefit of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain is not regulated by any centered business. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that is something that as a dedicated supporter badge of honor, and is identical to the way the Internet functions. But as you comprehend now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works present built-in difficulties to the user. Blockchain technology has none of that.
Ethereum is an unbelievable cryptocurrency platform, however, if growth is too quickly, there may be some problems. If the platform is adopted immediately, Ethereum requests could rise dramatically, and at a rate that exceeds the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under a situation like this, the whole platform of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the raising costs of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Instability of demand for ether may result in an adverse change in the economical parameters of an Ethereum based business which could lead to business being unable to continue to run or to cease operation.

I've been hunting for Neptune. I think I've found it.
It's been on my to-do list, but I haven't been at this very long, and there are so many obstacles, from early bedtime on school nights to clouds to full moon to the pernicious and ever-growing light pollution…but during the last few nights, about 9:30 to 10 PM, there it's been, about forty-five minutes of arc to the northeast of Hydor (λ Aquarii) –in other words, below and to the left.
The first night, I had the 6×30 finderscope in, rather than the red-dot finder I favor. I meant it as a personal growth challenge, but it addled my brain: the finder shows things inverted, the telescope shows them reversed. (I could solve this by removing the diagonal and crouching all night long.)
But through the finder it was clear enough, "above" the star, a small bluish body about 45′ of arc distant. It's barely seven minutes away from an 8th-magnitude star, HIP113231–Neptune is close to magnitude 8 itself, and the two made a good match.
Thereafter, I went back to the red-dot, which suits me well, and found it again with little trouble. It's not much to see, really. Perhaps a larger scope is in my future.
For some reason, my fourth-grade illustration of "the other blue planet" gives it banding like Jupiter's in fanciful yellow and green. Not sure why I went from scientist to expressionist there. Anyway, Neptune is blue.
Other things spotted last evening: Sualocin and Rotanev, those palindromic double stars in Delphinus. (Spelled backwards, they become Nicolaus and Venator, the Latin form of the name of Niccolò Cacciatore, in English Nick Hunter; he was assistant to Giuseppe Piazzi at the Palermo observatory. Cacciatore succeeded Piazzi, who is credited with the discovery of Ceres.) They are very close binaries, but I separated them.
I also caught the Blue Snowball nebula in Andromeda.
Not bad for a light-polluted location, a busy schedule, and a chronically cloudy sky.

I'm in Southampton as you know and I occasionally use Freecycle Southampton to get rid of good quality items we have no more need for, aka 'shizz we don't want'. I have also put a Wanted Post up once for a piano for work which was a complete debacle and ended up costing us a stack of £££ for delivery and almost cost us for removal too until Robbie the Handyman and one of the dementia residents took an axe to it in the garden.

I miss the gym.
I'm working really hard to do what is best for me and give myself another two weeks before going back to the gym. I'm four weeks out from (my first) surgery, and it is a four to six week recovery. My surgeon has specifically put me on a 'no lifting' precaution until mid-November. Nothing more than 10 lbs. I spent last night 'googling' recommendations for recovery from an abdominoplasty, and that's pretty typical. I even saw longer, depending on the severity of the surgery. As well as shorter for just a 'mini-abdominoplasty', which I know I didn't have.
But I was still considering it. I was thinking of things I could do to support my core and still do something. Its deceptive: when I'm wearing my compression garment I actually feel pretty good. But when I don't, I start to feel sore. And when I cough. I can also feel where the stitches are inside, and the muscle there is still sore. When I raise my hands up over my head and stretch my muscle out, it feels tight and sore, particularly at the top where the stitches start. It hurts to roll over or do any real 'twisting' motion. The incision site itself is also tender.
So I know I'm not ready. I just miss going. Its very centering for me and very meditative. And I miss feeling like I've worked my muscles. But I know if I went I wouldn't be able to do the workout I would want to do, and I'd just risk hurting myself. So I'm doing the smart thing (for once) and waiting.
I'm not a cardio-bunny. I work out when the gym opens at 5:30 and I go to the weight room. There are perhaps one or two other (men) people there. I lift the 'big' weights. I bench. I squat. I row. I used to deadlift until I hurt my back years ago and now I'm too wary to do so....and I didn't have enough real core strength to do it well with the hernia and diastasis. I've been doing it for about six years now. I do hit the cardio a few times a week, but most of my time is spent in the weight room. I've gone through phases of doing more/less cardio, but the weights are always constant. This isn't a fitness blog so I won't go into the physiological reasons why I've sent it up this way, but I will say for those out there who aren't up on fitness: if you have limited time (which I do!) your time is better spent in the weight room than on a cardio machine. Too many people do it the other way around.
Two more weeks. Then I can go back, albiet slowly. I need to be very careful because I don't want to burst my stitches while jumping back into squatting. As I said to my coworker: its one thing to start lifting 10 lbs...its another thing to throw a bunch of weight on your back and squat ass to grass or work up to benching your body weight.
Two more weeks.

Milan Kordestani grew up in Stanford, California and graduated from High School in the Bay Area in California. At the young age of 10, he began to ride horses and stuck with it even when he was thrown off of a horse. He has gone on to compete in horse races and other events, and many have called his riding form a natural one. He won the first leg of the triple crown in 2015 while riding his horse Supreme Reflection and went on to pick up a fourth place spot while competing at the Worlds Championship Horse Show. During 2016, he he earned a 2nd place showing at the Worlds Championship Horse Show, which was his highest ranking at the time.
In his sophomore year of high school, Milan Kordestani created Milan Farms where he would begin his focus on growing saffron and providing eggs and poultry. He is the first person to ever grow saffron on microfiber sponges using a hydroponic system. He believes that customers know what they want and that farmers should be offering exactly what that is. He also feels that there should be no secrets related to the way that food is grown or raised, and this business model has helped his company to rapidly expand all over the United States and into markets overseas, as well.
Milan Kordestani is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Milan Farms. He is also a student and a blogger who has written for the HuffPost. He created Milan Farms in 2015 with a mission of growing saffron 100% organically and raising poultry in a humane way using an organic system. Today, Milan Farms operates on a model of transparency, offering the purest of products, and only using organic methods. Kordestani believes this is the right way to produce food of any kind, and he has expanded his model into other locations. The saffron grown at Milani Farms is sold all over the world, and Kordestani hopes to be able to expand his operations even further with the use of hydroponic and aquaponic systems that distribute nutrients to the plants.

AKU-EB's Secondary School Certificate (SSC) provides an excellent foundation for higher secondary studies and beyond. The Certificate is designed to increase students' knowledge and application skills in their chosen subject areas.
Programme StructureAll
students are required to sit for at least eight subjects to earn their
Secondary School Certificate. Of the eight subjects, five are core and
three are electives. All of the eight subjects are taught over a period
of two years, and students are examined at the end of each Grade i.e.
Grades IX and X. The core subjects that all students are required to
undertake are English, Urdu, Mathematics, Pakistan Studies and
Syllabus StructureThe SSC syllabuses are based on a belief that
students learn best in an environment that sets high but realistic
expectations. For its syllabuses, AKU-EB follows National Curriculum of Pakistan. These syllabuses
can be implemented in schools individually, however, a growing number of
schools are choosing to offer them as part of a continuum to AKU-EB's HSSC qualification.
AKU-EB's Grade IX and X syllabuses, offered both in English and Urdu, provide a set of specific Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) which specify what a student is expected to learn in a particular subject. These SLOs summarise the knowledge and understanding essential for all students to succeed during and beyond their classrooms.

A STALWART worker has helped hundreds of girls in 44 years at a cadet corps – and now she could be on the verge of honours.
Jeanne Roach, 72, from South Shields, was today described as an amazingly special woman for her work with the Girls Venture Corp Air Cadets.
She's seen many young women join her South Tyneside group and has helped them to achieve their dreams, whether it's joining the Royal Air Force or moving in to other careers.
But this time, it's Jeanne in contention for honours in the lifetime contribution category of the Best of South Tyneside awards.
The nomination for her said: "She is selfless in every way and does everything she can to encourage the girls in her unit to reach for their dreams."
But Jeanne's devotion goes even further.
She has stood at the end of every Great North Run, giving out water to grateful runners.
The nomination added: "There is no one who deserves this award more than this special lady."
But modest Jeanne, a former magistrate and youth worker, said: "I do it because it keeps me young.
"If you stop, you give in. I am honoured and actually quite surprised to be nominated."
We want many more entries before the deadline of Friday, April 10.
The awards will culminate in a glittering finale at the Quality Hotel on June 25.
To nominate, fill in the form in today's paper or submit an entry online HERE.

Wally's First Big Race
So Robert and I discovered a video from Wally's first Wiener Nationals Race, last year was posted to YouTube over the weekend. Just to set this video up, it was Wally's first ever race, he did not win. He went half way and ran back to Robert. But it was after the race where this video starts. Wally loved running around the track so much he would not let us catch him, once the race was over. It's me and Robert running around like rodeo clowns trying to catch Wally, who is running around with a tennis ball in his mouth the whole time. Every time we try to catch Wally and he gets away the crowd of wiener people and drunk gamblers cheer. At least Wally made it up to us this year by winning:)

O.K., the first question is why in the world are these not jobs from a parallel universe, I'm thinking Uranus, talking to toddlers in the first place?
They wonder why most sane people object to their tax dollars funding this hog wash.
It's nice to know that Planned Parent isn't just into selling aborted fetal tissue but they appear to be well on the way to a future in child pornography.
Planned parent refuses to acknowledge that on conception life is in the process.
Margaret Sanger a eugenist, was the founder of Planned Parenthood.
Personally, I'm for choice, the matter has been decided by the Supreme Court in Roe V. Wade.
I remember when women would die on the front steps to LA County General Hospital from sepsis.
I also believe this is a choice that must be made by the woman, her partner, and physician.
Until anything changes, let's call Planned Parenthood exactly what it is, a "Branch of Murder Incorporated."
Her goal was the extermination of all blacks.
Ironically uneducated blacks still vote for Democrats who love her organization.
Sanger would have made Hitler's, Dr. Josef Mengele who experimented on humans very proud. (Source)
In her own words in the video below, one word and only one word is appropriate.
Doubt me?
Don't miss their video below.
Congress has enough to do, for Democrats, "No Planned Parenthood," is a sacred cow.
If the Republican majority in both Houses of Congress doesn't make them rise up and bring these morons down, then they have become a serious part of the problem and must be replaced.
Planned Parenthood of Illinois
Where's the science, this is pure propaganda, Goebbels would be proud. (Source)
Goebbels, was, of course, Hitler's propaganda minister.
Rather than face the War Crimes Tribunal, Goebbels poisoned his six children and his wife, then committed suicide.
But the organization's recently revamped website has scrapped biological explanations for male-female distinctions in favor of a non-binary view of sexuality and gender, even for the very young.
These fruit cakes actually came up with a little video to support their point.
The new guidelines include lengthy discussions on gender identity for all ages and encourage adults to explain to preschoolers that one's private parts "don't make you a boy or a girl."
Both the old and new Planned Parenthood recommendations for talking to preschoolers include explicit explanations of how a woman becomes pregnant.
However, unlike the new, detailed discussions of multiple subjects over dozens of paragraphs, the old guidelines consisted of only two additional possible preschooler questions, and the answers were relatively anodyne:
Q. What's that? (pointing to a woman's breast, or other body parts.)
A. That's a breast. Women have breasts. Men don't. Would you like to know anything else about that?
Q. How come I have a penis and you don't?
A. Boys have penises and girls have vulvas. I'm a woman — a girl who is all grown up — so I have a vulva instead of a penis. And you're a boy, so you have a penis instead of a vulva.
On these same topics, the new guidelines blur the lines considerably. Regarding breasts:
See the entire article below if you have the stomach for it!
When answering questions, don't worry about going into every detail. For example, if your little one asks what those spots on their chest are. You can say, "Those are nipples. Everybody has nipples." You don't have to explain breastfeeding or why everyone has nipples even though not everyone breastfeeds.
From there, the advice jumps into a discussion of gender, giving a nod to the traditional definition, but taking great pains to incorporate the latest thinking about "gender identity":
While the most simple answer is that girls have vulvas and boys have penises/testicles, that answer isn't true for every boy and girl. Boy, girl, man, and woman are words that describe gender identity, and some people with the gender identities "boy" or "man" have vulvas, and some with the gender identity "girl" or "woman" have penises/testicles. Your genitals don't make you a boy or a girl.
You can say that most girls have vulvas and most boys have penises/testicles.
You may want to emphasize that it doesn't matter too much what parts someone has—that doesn't tell you much about them.
But you can make that decision based on your values and how you plan to talk with your kid about gender as they grow up.
The organization's website includes recommendations not just for preschoolers, but gives pointers for talking to children of all ages about their bodies, gender identity, relationships, sexuality, and reproduction.
The new guidelines are quite extensive, delving into each topic for each age group far deeper than previous iterations and break new ground, even for an organization known for progressive attitudes about sex and sexuality.
Throughout the guidelines, the underlying message regarding a child's gender (sex) is that it is unknown and unknowable at birth.
Parents are told that "your kid figures out what their gender is really early on—and they'll usually tell you.
So in preschool and in early elementary school, trans kids are starting to realize that they're not the gender everyone said they were when they were born."
While Planned Parenthood encourages talking to children about most everything related to their bodies, sexuality, and reproduction, the guidelines make one big exception: "Gender identity isn't about what kind of anatomy you have—and asking transgender and gender nonconforming people about their bodies is NEVER okay."
While Planned Parenthood links to a number of websites related to the topics covered, the website itself does not indicate the medical or scientific sources used to formulate the guidelines, recommendations, and information on gender identity versus biological sex.

Smart Repair > Alloy wheel Refurbishment > FAQ >
"Can you repair Split Rims?"
Refurbishing Split rim wheels is something we used to do, however we have taken the decision to stop doing them simply because we wish to offer a same day service and three year guarantee on all our wheels and without splitting the wheels and completely taking them apart, we cannot ensure we have removed all traces of corrosion which is the usual problem with split rims.
As the finish of the rims is polished bare metal, any
damage or corrosion needs to be removed by grinding and then polishing on
special machines. This is also true of Magnesium wheels which are fully polished
There are engineering companies which can restore your wheels to an original condition by fitting replacement trims - For this please try www.alloyart.co.uk or www.alloywheelrepairs.net.
Polished metal is very vulnerable to damage and corrosion, lacquered metal wheels have no primer to help the lacquer key to the metal, so are prone to having the lacquer peel off or bubble up. And studs also tend to tarnish.
"Can you repair leaky split-rims?"
I'm afraid we cannot repair wheels that leak through
the split rim, to repair them would involve taking them apart and
re-sealing them. Unfortunately we do not have the equipment needed
to do this. However, Ace Performance wheel are able to do this (see
We have also found out that spray foam won't cure the leak.
"Do you refurbish chrome wheels"
We cannot rechrome wheels - nor can anyone else in Europe for that matter! Steel can be re-chromed, but alloy wheels require a special process, the equipment for which is well beyond the price range of any refurbishment company (around £50 million!)
We are aware of a new process which is paint that looks exactly like chrome, and is far more durable, but unfortunately the is no UK agent for this process at the current time. We'll keep an eye on the situation.
There is however the option of painting chrome wheels in a normal metallic silver finish. Can we do this? It all depends on the level of corrosion - if the chrome is flaking off then the wheels need to be bead blasted to remove it, which is something we don't do here.
Article: How to care for chrome wheels.
"Can you refurbish Diamond-Cut rims?
We can refurbish and paint over diamond cut edges, but you will no longer be left with a diamond cut finish. This finish is more hardwearing and less prone to corrosion, and can be done same day. But if you wish to keep to the original finish, diamond cutting is done on a lathe and you will need to contact an engineering company that specialises in alloy wheels if you want to reproduce this effect.
and we'll tell you if we can do it. Then just call and book in!

That is a great option for parents so the kids can meet friends and have fun during the cruise while the parents still get to enjoy some time by the pools. Food was alot and excellent. Room attendant was very nice and helpful. Plenty of activities to choose from. I would have liked more line dancing classes but other than that plenty to do.

Rutgers police charge mother of Leonte Carroo, two others for alleged roles in physical altercation
The Rutgers University Police Department charged three people on Tuesday for their alleged roles in an altercation involving Rutgers football wide receiver Leonte Carroo, according to a statement by University spokesperson Greg Trevor.
Lavern Carroo, 41, of Edison, New Jersey, was charged with simple assault and disorderly conduct. She is Leonte Carroo's mother.
She previously plead guilty to third-degree theft by deception in 2001 and received a sentence of one year of probation, according to nj.com.
Maria Vega, 20, and Juan Vega, 52, both of Fort Lee, New Jersey, face the same charges. The three were involved in a postgame altercation that occurred approximately 45 minutes after the Rutgers football team's 37-34 loss to Washington State on Sept. 12, 2015.
The actions of all three were described by police as "general fighting behavior," specifically hair pulling and striking a victim in the face with a hand.
In the alleged incident that unfolded outside of the Hale Center at High Point Solutions Stadium on Busch campus, Leonte Carroo was arrested for simple assault under domestic violence. He was released on $1,000 bail and is scheduled for an Oct. 1 court appearance.
A woman accused the Scarlet Knights' senior captain of slamming her to the concrete, according to a complaint filed to Piscataway municipal court and obtained by The Record of Bergen County.
Multiple sources with knowledge of the situation, including one source who witnessed the altercation, confirmed to The Daily Targum that, at the time of the incident, the woman was a recruiting ambassador for the football team and worked at the program's headquarters at the Hale Center.
The source who witnessed the altercation also told the Targum that there was first an only-girl fight between Leonte Carroo's girlfriend, Maria Vega, and the alleged victim. The source then said that there was a second altercation where "the girlfriends (sic) dad started to throw girls."
The person requested anonymity because the investigation is ongoing and is not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.
The alleged victim, whose identity is being protected because she is the victim of a reported domestic violence case, was reportedly romantically involved with Leonte Carroo.
In an interview with The Record of Bergen County, the woman spoke about the incident. She injured her hip, palms and the left side of her head, according to the filed court complaint.
"(Carroo) picked me up and just dropped me," the woman told The Record. "I remember that slam. I remember hitting the ground and seeing all those people around me ... He knows his own strength. He shouldn't have done it. I'm 107 pounds. He shouldn't have thrown me into the concrete."
The father of the alleged victim told NJ Advance Media that his daughter filed a restraining order against Leonte Carroo. He also told the publication that she has since quit her job at Rutgers Athletics.
The investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with information may call the RUPD Investigations Unit at 848-932-8025.

Andalucía is second on the list of most sales
SPAIN (Agencies) The latest statistics show that year on year property sales have fallen by 11.6% in May. Of a total of 27,286 sales/purchases, 52% were for second-hand properties and the remaining 48% for the newly built, according to the National Institute of Statistics in a report issued last week. The annual decrease is slightly less than that experienced for April, when it fell by 9.9% and and reached historic minimals. The May figures show a downturn that has now lasted 15 consecutive months. Andalucía follows the Valencian Region, which reached a relatively low 103 sales per 100,000 inhabitants, with a mere 90. At the other end of the list are La Rioja, Cantabria and Navarra. The spread between country and urban property sales is as follows: 84.6% of transactions carried out in May were for urban properties (including apartments, townhouses, etc.) and 15.4% for country properties (rústicas); and within the urban property section, just over half, 53.7%, wer for homes, the remainder, commercial. Of the total number of sales in May, 60,003 properties, 5,519 were transferred by donation, 1,061 by full or part exchange, and 33,329, by inheritance.

Wanted - Japanese Car
To replace it we are interested in the Nissan Cube, but as you can see, the prices are quite high in the UK. Anyone interested in trying to buy one in Japan for me and export it?

LOVE the Nissan Cube... great looking motor.
Why not go for a Bb instead though. I can just see your mum and dad crusing the streets of Bristol (still live there dont they??) with some phat classical pumping outta the speakers , neon light underneath, maybe some graphics down the side!! ;)
You gotta admit, Bb make some wild looking motors.

Hey, that's not a bad idea. There's sure to be a glut of Cubes all over UK roads now. And the Bb is made by Toyota which I love.
For those of you that haven't seen this great machine, here's the Wikipedia entry and here's the official site (but be warned, it takes a while).

When I first arrived here, and still now actually, I wondered WHY I had never seen some of these cars on UK roads.
You reckon there must be a load, but I never saw one... even after 4 years in London.
Anyhow, if youre after rarity, try the Daihatsu Copen. I love to see your 6'4+ father cruising in one of them!! ;)

- Dan さんのコメント...
I think they've reached a "price breakthrough" and then they'll start spilling out. There's a place around the corner from us that now specialises in them.
It's the same with the Nissan Figaro - Wayne Hemmingway and Andrew Marr are to be seen swanning around in them now, so there are loads of them about. The Delica is two-a-penny now in Bristol.
Oh, and the Daihatsu Copen is now imported by Daihatsu themselves since it got so popular on the import.
- 3:25 午前
- Tony さんのコメント...
Wow!!! Guess I am talking about a year and a half ago... my experience is a little out of date!
Make sure you blog the final verdict though and the trials of getting it over to the UK! Would love to see!

Formerly owned and operated by the National Police of Puente Piedra, north of Lima (Peru), but all of them were withdrawn from circulation due to budget problems with operation or maintenance.
So some Harley enthusiasts bought them in batches, because of no parts availability nor dealerships in the area, to get the best parts together to make one good bike from many.
They sold at auction for $1300, but after getting a good one together sell for $12,000

Filed under: Sermons | Tags: St Stephen
Sermon preached at All Saints, Clifton, 26th December 2010
I suppose the one thing most of us know about the Feast of Stephen is that it was on this day that Good King Wenceslas looked out. Otherwise, it seems rather strange that on the day after we celebrate the Birth of Jesus we commemorate the violent death of a young disciple of Jesus thirty or forty years later.
Can we make a connection? In the first reading, we heard how Stephen was a powerful and influential preacher in Jerusalem, convincing the people that Jesus (who had been crucified there only a few years before) was in fact the Messiah, the Saviour sent by God to rescue his people, the King appointed by God to rule the whole world. This is what we believe: "Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder. And his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the mighty God."
The Baby lying in the manger is the God of the whole world, the Word of God, the Message of God to us all. God is with us. God is on our side.
Two thousand years ago, just as today, that message is not welcome to everyone. If Jesus is the true King, then the earthly powers that now exist, the established order that runs the world as it is, must give way to him. That is not a message the powers-that-be relish. Clever people tried to argue with Stephen, but they could not get the better of him. St Luke tells us that this was because of the Wisdom and the Spirit that was in him.
Two interesting words- Wisdom and Spirit. Jesus Christ himself is called by St Paul "the Wisdom of God," and the Spirit is the Gift that Jesus promised to his followers. Stephen was not just a clever man, arguing with human cleverness. People recognised in his words a Divine Truth, in perfect harmony with all that they had already heard in the ancient Scriptures. In his words they recognised the Word of God, and that Word was Jesus.
Also, they recognised a certain Spirit in him. Stephen spoke not in a spirit of antagonism, trying to put other people down. There was fire, certainly, and zeal: but it was a fire of real love, for God and for his fellow-men, a zeal to build up the Kingdom of God, not to destroy anything except what was in opposition to that Kingdom. The Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit, is Love itself.
Great preachers have a vision, which they want others to share. "I have a dream!" said Martin Luther King, another great preacher and martyr. St Stephen could see heaven thrown open, not closed and barred against us. He could see the welcoming figure of Jesus, in the glory of God, who had opened the door and was beckoning us all inside.
In the old English Hymnal there was an eighteenth century Christmas hymn, "Let sighing cease and woe." It includes the lines, "Heaven's gate is opening wide, and lo! The long expected Word." But that gate is the door of the stable at Bethlehem. "We enter- at the door what marvel meets the eye? A crib, a mother pale and poor, a child of poverty." The hymn-writer asks, "Art thou the eternal Son, the eternal Father's ray, whose little hand, thou infant one, doth lift the world alway?" The world cannot believe this, it does not want to believe this, it rejects those who preach this message. Stephen was brutally killed for preaching it. Our Lord himself, in the Gospel, warned that it would be so.
We are called to be people of faith: to see in the weakness of a helpless baby the power that sustains the world, and the love which saves it, and in the same power and love to take that message even to those who do not want to hear it.

Regarding your Feb 16 editorial " Bad form": Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to Congress on March 3 is being dictated by the Obama administration's desire to wrap up an agreement with Iran by March 26.
Netanyahu and many American Jews see this is a critical issue that poses an existential threat to Israel if Iran is allowed to produce a nuclear bomb. Coming after the deadline date could be too late to influence the negotiations.
As negotiations with Iran continue, there is growing concern that if the contemplated deal is reached, Iran will be allowed to continue its nuclear program with only temporary and unverifiable restrictions. Iran will become a threshold nuclear arms state and a danger to its neighbors and America.
The administration was notified of the speech before it was made public and decided to make it a personal issue. The "protocol" argument is bogus.
To say that Netanyahu is coming to Washington for internal political reasons is misleading. There are very few Israelis who have not already made up their mind about the upcoming elections, and the visit is probably going to hurt him domestically more than help him.

A shot in the dark
A past, lost in space
Where do I start
The past and the chase
You hunted me down
Like a wolf, a predator
I felt like deer in love lights
You loved me, and I froze in time
Hungry for that flesh of mine
But I can't compete
With a she-wolf who has brought me to my knees
What do you see in those yellow eyes
Cause I'm falling to pieces
I'm falling to pieces
I'm falling to pieces
I'm falling to pieces
I'm falling to pieces

Off-shoring care
The US and Europe have got themselves into a real tizzy over the loss of manufacturing jobs to China and service jobs to India.
There is another loss of employment that we will see in the next couple of decades. As the cost of caring for old people rockets, the attraction of packing your bags and heading for a low cost area increases.
It is estimated that 40,000 to 80,000 American retirees already live in Mexico, many of them in enclaves like San Miguel de Allende or the Chapala area.
For $1,300 a month — a quarter of what an average nursing home costs in the US - you can get a studio apartment, three meals a day, laundry and cleaning service, and 24-hour care from an attentive staff, many of whom speak English.
This article (with video) from USA today gives a taste of things to come. Dick Stroud

I should warn you that I used to do these open letters all the time (or once a week for about a month), but they became kind of dangerous. See I really just do them for laughs, never expecting that the addressee will ever actually read them, but it turns out this here internet-thingy is a public forum, and sometimes moving truck companies and basic cable television networks will stumble across my amusing little letters, and weird stuff occasionally follows. Once I began to understand the might of the open letter, I sent them into semi-retirement, only using them in safe and controlled conditions. I've always known that the time might once again be right to send an open letter out into the world, but no offense, I didn't anticipate that it would be for you. The open letter is my secret final weapon against the one person who I hope to lure into friendship (and marriage) through the blog. But I'm not going to devote that letter to FHDM until I'm sure I'm ready for us to happen because as I think I mentioned a few sentences back, the open letter is a powerful tool with unexpected and far-reaching effects. But now that you and I are friends I'm not afraid to send this open letter out into the internet-void. I mean I'm assuming you were going to look me up and start following the blog anyway now that we've met, right?
Thanks times a million for coming to the Arkansas Literary Festival on Saturday! It was kind of the best work-related thing that's ever happened to me. I tend to avoid Lit Fest because it's so busy and chaotic, and all the people make me crazy. And honestly, if I'm not working, I don't really dig hanging out at the library. It's a great place, but I feel like I spend enough time there without devoting leisure time to it. But you were totes worth the crowd and chaos and hanging out where I work without getting paid. Even the line waiting with the rabid PW fans was mildly awesome.
To tell the truth, I'm the reason you were invited in the first place. I've been a fan for a couple of years now, and when you were on the cookbook tour (was that 2009?), I may have become a little obsessed with talking about you at work. It helped that I won a $75 amazon gift card in one of your Geography quizzes (Kansas City, if memory serves). The cool thing about the folks I work with is that I'm the young, hip, fun girl, so anything that I like, they buy into--not that it was a hard sell. They fell right in love with you too, and because I had brought you onto the radar of my boss (maybe you met her today? Lisa, but not the Lisa who moderated your session), she suggested you to Mr. Lit Fest, and the rest is history--or the beginning of our awesome friendship. I don't typically use the word awesome so much. Forgive me.
You already know the highlights of the day as you were there hanging out with me and stuff, but let me take you through the good times you missed out on. I worked the Book Fiesta in the morning before you got there (remember I told you about making the salsa and getting it on my shirt?), so everyone else got there at various stages, but by a few minutes after noon we were ready to head for the line. We were in a pretty decent spot too.
In that brief time while I was gone, the line was growing and growing. Some sweet lady behind us offered to take our picture all together since someone was getting left out of all the ones we were taking ourselves. I know it's confusing, but Martha's holding Jackson, who's really Amy's baby. That's Luke you can see in the stroller, but sweet Calla got cut off--but of course, you remember what she looks like anyway.
The vestibule where we waited was airless and sticky with all those warm bodies, so I was quite ready to get inside the Darragh Center which I hoped would be pleasantly cool. You may recall it was not. We were melting in there too, so I speculated then about how many paper towels or tissues you were using to soak up the sweat from your armpits and wondered if you had enough to share. If I'd gotten to ask my question during the session, that's what it would have been.
Oh look, Calla's in this one--but now Luke is in the stroller. I think he was asleep by this point maybe.
I was trying to take a picture of Calla who was down the row being really cute when my camera batteries died. Can you believe the horror?!? What would I do if we couldn't have a our picture made together later? I had not come prepared for that possibility. Luckily Nichole had. She gave me new batteries and saved my life.
Later while we were standing in line waiting for book-signing, Nichole said, "wasn't she just like you thought she'd be?" I had to agree. Your warmth and genuineness and humor were exactly as I'd pictured them. I guess everyone else thought so too since we waited and waited and waited for the line to wind around for us to see you. Poor pregnant Monica just had to sit down, so we actually had a folding camp chair that she sat in and moved and scooted as the line meandered. The babies held up like champs through all the waiting. Both boys took naps and Calla only got a little fussy.
And then, at long last, we made the last corner and saw you, wearing those boots you've talked about so often, sporting the haircut you got last week (is it creepy that people know so much about your life sometimes?), and charming the socks off everyone whose book you signed. It was interesting to hear the sorts of things people brought up to talk about with you as they had their moment: homeschooling, being from Oklahoma, favorite recipes. I could tell that everyone felt as I did, that she'd known you long before she handed your her book to sign and that like me, she'd considered carefully what to say in her brief time with you to make a connection--to help you know her in some small way as she knows you. Everyone might as well have said, "Hi, Ree. I think you're great, and more importantly we're alike. If I lived down the gravel road from you, we'd be friends, great friends, inseparable. Instead let's be long-distance friends. You won't regret it. After all, all those things you say, those funny things that happen to you, those foods that you love, I do all those things too. We're alike, you see." But saying that would come off just a shade stalkerish and desperate, so instead we honed in one one detail, one thing to tell you that would make us special, make us important to you, if only for a moment, because you're important to us. And you delivered for us, listening to those snippets and details, responding with your sweet smile and appropriate questions, and acting for all the world as though you had all the time in the world to talk to us.
When my moment came, it was no different. I was grateful to Lee Ann (the Lit Fest girl who was opening the books and handing them to you) for telling you that I worked at the library so I could act like I was a little more special, a little more in-the-know than all the other folks who had passed through the line. I got to confess to you that I had salsa on my shirt, a splatter from earlier in the day when I had made your restaurant-style salsa (best salsa ever) for the Book Fiesta in the children's department. We got to bond for a moment on the perfection that is your salsa, and I felt the residual glow of your admiration for the cute babies in our group.
If there was one thing we could have done differently that would have made the moment pure, over-the-top perfection, we would have all crowded around you for a group picture. It would have been a lot like that first picture up at the top (but with Luke and Calla out of the stroller) and with you as our new friend right in the middle. When I think back on the day, that's how I want to remember it, that's the picture I see in my heart.
From all of us who have had those moments with you, thanks. Thanks for being everything we imagined you would be: the ordinary girl who loves butter and hates laundry, who delights in her kids and feels nervous about her weight, who does embarrassing things and owns up to them, who finds beauty in quiet everyday moments of family, food, and friends. Thank you for giving us your attention, for treating us like long-lost friends or new friends you'd been waiting to meet, just as eagerly as we'd been waiting to meet you.
Thanks for it all,
Ellen (your new best friend)
P.S. I didn't tell Amy or Martha or Monica about that second extra conversation we had as I saw you on your way out. They don't know how we talked about our fall Getaway and the Lodge. So once you figure out the details of how that might work, let me know. I can't wait to tell them.
P. P. S. I'm sorry it took me so long to get this posted. I got it mostly finished on Sunday, but then internet vanished from our home until today. It's not because I wasn't giddily excited about reliving our day together. Don't let my technological issues come between us. Please.
P. P. P. S. To anyone reading this who doesn't know about Pioneer Woman and her amazing-ness, get out from under your rock and go here. You won't be sorry. Promise.
