The Anderson County Middle School wrestling team had five wrestlers go unbeaten in the Summit View Tournament, held in Independence.
Brax Briscoe (98 pounds), Zane Drury (113), Everett Marret (168), Jaiden Cunningham (168) and Nolan Hedges (190) all finished at 4-0 in their respective pools.
The event was an individual tournament with no team awards given.
Three other Anderson wrestlers finished at 3-1. Those wrestlers included Alex Strayer (80 pounds), Evan Peters (92), Chase Fink (130) and Logan Ritchie all finished with just one loss.
The Anderson County Middle School cross country team romped to a win in the Berea Invitational meet Saturday, finishing in front of the defending middle school state champion, Beaumont.
Anderson finished first with 29 points, followed by Beaumont's 41.
Cross country scores are tabulated adding together the placings of the top five finishers from a team. A perfect score is 15, meaning a certain team had the first five finishers.
The Anderson County Middle School girls' soccer team won the King Middle School Pre-Season Tournament Saturday night. The Lady Mustangs beat Bondurant, 7-0, Friday, then defeated Elkhorn in a shootout to win the title.
They were tied 1-1 with Elkhorn Middle 1-1 at the end of regulation and after a 10-minute overtime. Anderson won the shootout, 4-3. Anderson selections to the All- Tournament team were Madeline Wilson, Lyndsay Chelf and Hannah Drury.
The Anderson County Middle School seventh-grade girls' basketball team took the championship of the Bondurant Middle School Tournament on Oct. 29 in Frankfort. The Lady Mustangs defeated the host school 36-21 in the final. Sammy Rogers and Alorra Sims led Anderson with seven points each while Hannah Drury scored six. Others scoring for Anderson were Savannah Courtney with five, Billie Clark and Kristen Freed with four each, Bailey Mattingly with two and Bailey Curry with one.
The Anderson County Middle School girls' basketball A-team rolled to a 41-19 win over Bardstown Thursday night.
The Lady Mustangs remained unbeaten after ripping Bardstown with a 26-8 explosion in the first half.
Kaci Currens led Anderson with 15 points, while Bailey Curry added 12.
"I am very proud of the kids," Anderson coach Clay Birdwhistell said. "Last year, this team went 0-2 against Bardstown. All week long, I reminded them that Bardstown expected to come in here and win.
Most fans would say there is no way that a basketball game that ends in a 54-3 final can be pretty.
People that follow the Anderson County Middle School girls' team would beg to differ, especially after the Lady Mustangs dismantled visiting Spencer County last Tuesday night. It would seem they find beauty in being like Bad, Bad Leroy Brown.
"Junkyard dogs," was part of Anderson coach Clay Birdwhistell's tweet about the game.
Anderson led 30-0 at the half and cruised to the win.
Anderson County Middle School's baseball team had one of its most successful seasons ever. At the helm, in his fourth season as head coach, Graham Carlton has been enjoying the ride.
His reasons for coaching are simple yet sincere. "I coach for three reasons: I love kids. I love to help kids improve at what they do. And I'm addicted to competition, particularly the part that involves winning," he says.
The Anderson County Middle School girls' soccer team celebrated its Eighth Grade Night last Thursday.
They beat Owen County 4-1 to finish their season.
Madeline Wilson scored twice while Billie Clark and Autumn Miller added goals for the Lady Mustangs. Kennedy Smith and Hannah Drury shared keeper duties for Anderson.
"This group of eighth-graders will be a hard group of girls to replace," said coach Daniel Rogers.

Plants don't need as much care in winter as they do in summer, but it is important not to neglect watering your plants during the winter.
Some ice or wind damage is unavoidable, but a lot of cold weather damage to plants' cells is caused by dehydration. In our region, normal winter precipitation is enough for plants because their cold-weather watering needs are considerably less. However, making sure your plants have adequate hydration is the best way to protect them in harsh weather.

ANTIOCH — Police are investigating several incidents in which people were injured and vehicles were damaged by objects thrown from a Highway 4 overpass.
In separate incidents Thursday, a 49-year-old Brentwood man and a 53-year-old Discovery Bay woman were driving near the G Street overcrossing on Highway 4 when the objects were thrown at their vehicles.
The unknown object smashed through the man's windshield about 9:45 p.m. Thursday and struck him in the arm. Believing he had been shot, the man drove himself to a hospital, where he was treated and released.
A short time later, a woman reported her windshield was shattered by a thrown object. She was not injured, but her vehicle was badly damaged, police said.
An ambulance was also hit by something thrown from the same overpass on Monday, police said. The ambulance was damaged, but no one was hurt, police said.
Anyone with information regarding these incidents is asked to call Det. Matt Koch at 925-779-6895.

Richie and I planned a trip up to Eureka Springs and the War Eagle Craft Fair last weekend. His mom and her friend Judy also came with us. We spent Friday night at the Matterhorn Towers Hotel in Eureka. It was old but nice. I was glad because when I called to get reservations back in August everything was already booked! We lucked into the last two rooms at the Matterhorn. Saturday morning we got up early and left the hotel by 6:30 AM to drive the 30 minutes to War Eagle Mill where the craft fair was being held. The weather was cold in the morning! Cold enough for jeans and sweatshirts! We got there a little early and had breakfast in the Mill. They were really crowded and the food wasn't really all that good but we decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and blame it on the crowd! Maybe if we go back again it will be much better. When we finished eating, most of the booths were open and we were able to start looking around. We spent about 4 hours looking and shopping and eating good food. I had some awesome roasted corn and Richie had a really good strawberry crepe that he let me have a bit of. I bought a few cool things at the craft fair.
Here are some picks of the mill and the general area around it. It sure was pretty.
Here is Richie standing on the bridge.
Here is a cute Turkey thing near the entrance!
Here are the three ornaments I bought. They are all make with real wool from the sheep and Llamas on the womans farm.
Here is the hat I got for my nephew.
Here is the goard I got for my good friend Dee's son. He paints them and makes birdhouses out of them.
It kind of looks like a potato!
Richie also got this neat frog thing but he took it to school today so I will have to add a picture tomorrow. We really had a great time at the War Eagle Craft Fair!

Meet the SFS Board Candidates
The nominating committee of the Slow Food Seattle board of directors has completed the process of selecting a slate of 6 candidates for new board positions that will be proposed for election by voice vote at the annual meeting on Sunday, March 21. Our solicitation of the membership produced 15 nominees who submitted background questionnaires that were evaluated by the committee and the board. Those selected as potential candidates were interviewed by a committee member. Our criteria for selecting candidates were, who would bring balance, enhancement, and experience to help us reach our goals.
Learn a little about the candidates below by their responses to the questions we posed and more in person at the Annual Members Meeting on Sunday, March 21.
The candidates are:
Mike Clark, Grace Doyle, Patricia Eddy, Kathy Egawa, Beth Maxey, and Meghan Slattery
Are you familiar with Slow Food and if so what aspects of the organization have been of most interest to you?
Mike Clark: I first became acquainted with Slow Food in Chicago 5 years ago. I was Corporate Chef for a large restaurant group. We investigated applying for a Slow Food logo on one of our concepts. I am most interested in developing relationships between farmers, fisherman, and other producers and chefs. I want to find ways for consumers to access this food through improved marketing and distribution. I want to continue the work of others in educating the market about the "real costs" of what appears to be inexpensive food. I want to try to inspire the chefs of the future to "see" what they can do.
Grace Doyle: Although I only recently became a member of Slow Food Seattle, I have been familiar with the slow food movement for many years and have actively pursued the tenets of slow food in both my personal life and in my career as a communications manager working with Snoqualmie, Washington state's leading sustainable and organic wine producer. I am particularly interested in Slow Food's goals of working for changes in food policy, especially as it relates to childhood nutrition; in preserving traditional methods of food production and preparation through the passing of those skills to new audiences; and in increasing appreciation and support of good, pure food and drink through fun, community-based activities and communications.
Patricia Eddy: We've been Slow Food members for about 6 months. We are interested in outreach, and in particular, with connecting people/consumers/eaters with those who grow and produce their food. We have maintained a list of restaurants that source locally and ethically for nearly a year now and we are excited that Slow Food Seattle has started to do the same. In particular, we would love to help Slow Food Seattle with outreach and social media. There has been very little blog activity and we feel that we could help with that.
Kathy Egawa: I was a founding member of Prairie Land Slow Food in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, and I am a member of Seattle Slow Food. I attended the October 2009 Slow Food event at Town Hall when Erika Lesser visited and shared the updated Slow Food mission ... that the food we eat should taste good; that it should be produced in a clean way that does not harm the environment, animal welfare or our health; and that food producers should receive fair compensation for their work. I am committed to all aspects of the organization, and particularly work with children, as they are where change most readily takes place. I make ways to focus on food in my work with kids and teachers (see helpforreaders.blogspot.com), and plan to increase that work in the future.
Beth Maxey: I have been involved in Slow Food since 2000, first as a professional member of the Boston Chapter, at The University of Gastronomic Sciences, in Parma, Italy, at Slow Food International in Bra, Italy, and then in New Zealand, where I worked through Slow Food International with Maori delegates to Terra Madre, 2007. In 2008 I moved to Seattle and began building, Feast, a catering business based on Slow principles. Though I joined Slow Food here in Seattle, the demands of building a business kept me from being as involved as I would have like to have been in the Seattle Chapter. I am most interested in learning about sustainable producers and their products and in communicating that appreciation to the people that share my food, whether it is at my home or through my business. I am also passionate about fostering conviviality and taking the time to share with each other through the enjoyment of food.
Meghan Slattery: I am familiar with Slow Food. I have volunteered at an event with Lucy in the past as well as attended some events hosted by Slow Food. I have been most impressed and intrigued by the organizations initiative on biodiversity. I was extremely interested in the presidia program to save the Makah Ozette potato and would be excited to find other food species that can be brought back from extinction as well.
Which volunteer or professional organizations have you been a member and what was/is the extent of your involvement?
Mike Clark: n/a
Grace Doyle: In connection with my position at Snoqualmie, I have volunteered on the committees charged with creating Vinewise, the Washington state self-certification program for vineyard and winegrape grower sustainability, and Winewise, the state self-certification guidelines for sustainability in wineries and wine production facilities. My involvement has consisted of helping to draft and copy-edit checklists for various sections of each program and promoting these programs to media and consumers on a regional and national level, including the writing and distribution of press releases and news items as well as coordination of spokesperson interviews. I have also been active on the alumni board of Boston University, spearheading events and communications for the university's Young Alumni Council and College of Communication alumni group.
Patricia Eddy: n/a
Kathy Egawa: The majority of my volunteer and professional work, beyond my work with Slow Food, has been for education organizations, including:
Serving as a founding member of the Prairie Land Slow Food convivium in my community and working with others to showcase the products of local farmers, and hosting monthly events to educate others about the potential of more healthful eating, as well as the economic benefits of eating locally grown products.
Raising money for the national school garden program by hosting a fundraising dinner with its founder, Alice Waters.
Coordinating a project between the Pierce County Utilities Department and the National Science Foundation that increased teacher knowledge and resources related to energy issues.
Steering a national professional organization as a member of the board that oversaw program development, budget and administrative procedures, annual conferences, and resource development.
Serving in top management of a national professional organization for educators, specializing in services to membership that promoted their learning, their use of web-based resources, their collaboration in innovative state and national projects, and their ability to access resources.
Conceptualizing, bringing to fruition, and serving on the Board of a national clearinghouse for school-based leaders who promote teacher learning through collaboration.
Collaborating with media providers and foundations and content leadership in the development of a series of public television programs designed to improve teaching nationwide.
Beth Maxey: I have been extensively involved in Slow Food. As a chef (2002-5) I worked with the Boston and Ipswich chapters researching and recreating 'typical New England' cuisine for a series of events. We did some great dinners in historic farmhouses on The Cape. In 2006 I moved to Parma, Italy, where I earned my Masters in Communicating Quality Products and then worked in Bra, throughout New Zealand and in Turin on Salone Del Gusto and Terra Madre 2007. My responsibilities involved working with the Auckland and Wellington Chapters of Slow Food in New Zealand. I traveled to New Zealand to research Maori food ways and help and coordinate delegates to Terra Madre. SInce 2008 I have been the been the food editor of The Arc Magazine. Previously I published with SLOW and Food & Foodways.
Meghan Slattery: I was on the board of Girls on the Run San Diego for two years as their CFO and Chair of the Finance and Development committees. I passed on that position in December and have since linked up with the local chapter of Girls on the Run to Chair their fundraising committee. I have not joined that board and have only committed to chairing this committee, which leaves me with time to pursue work with other organizations.
Slow Food Seattle is dedicated to activities that create responsible and pleasurable experiences at the table. Please provide a brief description of your interest and activities related to such objectives.
Mike Clark: I am developing a small farm on Vashon Island. I have built a brick oven on my farm. Over this last summer I began to network around the Island distributing my artisan breads under the name Maggie's Farm Bakery. I have also started a subscription pizza event on the farm using produce from the garden: The Outlaw Pizza Company.
Grace Doyle: I feel very strongly that the most effective way to increase awareness of and appreciation for good, clean, fair foods is through enjoyable experiences that educate and engage without preachiness or elitism. Over the past several years I have participated in and coordinated many such events focused on spreading the word about organic and sustainable wines, including Snoqualmie's annual "Greener Living and Harvest Celebration" in Prosser, which I conceived as a way of connecting the local community to the winery's efforts both in the vineyards and among their neighbors; Chef's Table dinners highlighting locally produced food and wines at Seattle restaurants including Lark, Tilth, and the Dahlia Lounge; and wine tastings at Green Festivals and green-focused events throughout the Northwest. I also spent a year as the wine sponsor, through Snoqualmie, for monthly Seattle Greendrinks networking events, where I presented and poured organically produced wines for a rotating group of several hundred consumers. As an interested consumer, I have attended farm open houses in Massachusetts, upstate New York, Washington, and California and numerous events promoting small farmers, food producers, and restaurants across the country. All of these experiences have convinced me of the value of joyful, food-related experiences to connect people to their local environment, neighbors, and stomachs. I am very excited about the possibilities for working with Slow Food Seattle on this kind of programming, and to brainstorm and carry out new activities to reach a wider audience and grow committed membership.
Patricia Eddy: We are ultimately dedicated to pleasurable experiences at the table. We cook approachable, attainable meals, that don't take many special skills or esoteric equipment. We're experimental cooks, but we're not necessarily gourmet cooks. We try to make good food accessible to everyone whether they are gluten free, vegetarian, or even vegan. We try to provide meals that are reasonably priced and we provide options for variations. We believe that eating locally and sustainably doesn't have to be a chore.
Kathy Egawa: Sharing food with others is my greatest passion. I shop on a regular basis at a number of the farmers markets in my own efforts to be a responsible food consumer, both for my own health and in promoting local producers. I open my home to food events as a way to share and enjoy learning about food with others. In the six months, as an example, I led two tamale-making sessions with friends, hosted an artisan beef tasting with "beef geek" Carrie Oliver, and co-hosted a session on dumpling making with cookbook author Andrea Nguyen. I treated our daughters-in-law to a pie-making class with Kate McDermott, and attended Jon Rowley's late night Walrus and Carpenter Oyster Picnic on Totten Inlet.
Beth Maxey: I am passionate about bringing people together to enjoy a meal and each other. Part of enjoying the people around us and the things that we consume is interacting with them consciously and respectfully. Both personally, and through my business, I am continually seeking out, discovering, and sharing traditional and sustainable products that excite me. This often takes the form of slow relaxed meals centered on a cuisine, product or producer that I have discovered and want to share. One of my goals and hopes for Slow Food Seattle is that, as a community, we can have more regular meals together. I think this is important for the SFS community, even necessary. I will work to develop these meals and organize them so that they are at a scale where our members can really get to know each other, at a regularity where a sense of community identity is developed and at a price (or donation) point (or other contribuition or trade scheme) that allows all of our members to participate comfortably.
Meghan Slattery: My experience with such activities is not professional, but I have been a food lover my entire life and have grown in to avid cook as an adult. Cooking is one of my passions and I especially love using fresh local ingredients.
What attributes/skills would you bring to the Board of Directors and what roles would you see yourself contributing to on the board.
Mike Clark: I have been a chef for 37 years. I spent 18 of those years working for a very successful group in Chicago. I came out to the Northwest to explore a closer relationship to Turtle Island and the land that supports us. I have always been a very conscientious consumer. I studied horticulture in college. I studied artisan breads at San Francisco Baking Institute. I am currently working as a Culinary Arts Instructor at Bates Technical College in Tacoma. When I first came to the Seattle area I was working as Sales Manager for The Plitt Company a wholesale seafood distributor. During those 3 years I developed a network with local chefs in some of the best area restaurants.
Grace Doyle: As a communications professional for more than a decade, I have honed a variety of skills that would be valuable to the Board, including event planning, media relations, social media outreach, and partnership networking. I am also detail-oriented and strong in follow-through, and I have strong relationships with a variety of local media, restaurants, wineries, green businesses and organizations, and key influencers. I would like to apply these skills towards helping Slow Food Seattle build an exciting, effective programming schedule to increase active membership and move forward to inspire change on both a legislative and individual level.
Patricia Eddy: As for what we'd bring to the board, I would hope that we could bring fresh perspectives. We have relationships with a wide variety of farmers and food producers and we are active in the community. We are planing on a large edible garden this year and hope to encourage yard sharing and "plant an extra row" for local food banks. We are active in social media and would love to help Slow Food become more active on Twitter and in the online community.
Kathy Egawa: I am an experienced educator who brings vision, leadership and energy to my work. I can collaborate with others to develop a vision, an agenda, and bring it to fruition with the support of other board members, as well as the larger Slow Food membership. Engaging "food literacy" will be a great extension of my work as a literacy leader.
Beth Maxey: My primary goal is to develop regular intimate SFS community meals, described above. It has sometimes been a challenge to build a small independent business that is sustainable as a business, uses sustainable ingredients and pays sustainable wages. Because I have faced these challenges with Feast I have an intimate understanding of what sustainability really means in the market place and to many of the producers SF works to support. My solution to this challenge has been to identify my clients and focus on communicating the value of my products and the sustainable products I use specifically to them. This experience and understanding will help me to work effectively with SFS in supporting our local producers and connecting them with the food lovers and consumers that will appreciate and support their products.
Meghan Slattery: My professional experience relates to finance and accounting. I worked as an auditor in San Diego for three years and a tax accountant for three years prior to that. As mentioned previously, I was also the CFO for Girls on the Run San Diego for two years while I was down in California. I moved back up to Seattle in September to pursue my MBA at Seattle University. Along with my accounting expertise I have also spent the last two years working in the fundraising/development arena of a non-profit as a board member of Girls on the Run. This included running a fundraising leg of the chapter for adult running teams that raised over $75k, grant writing, planning fundraising events and managing direct mail and multi-media fundraising campaigns. This also included creating and managing the stewardship program for our donors and coordinating donor and volunteer "thank you" events. Taking these skills into account, I see myself contributing to the board of Slow Food in many ways. I see myself being an asset on the financial side as well as the business development and fundraising sides of the organization. Relationship development is half the battle as a non-profit and I would be happy to attend meetings and events in order to get more people involved and on board with the organizations initiatives.

Under the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding, the EEOC will expand its cooperation with the Mexican Consulate. The federal agency will provide the Consulate with Spanish-language materials explaining the laws enforced by the EEOC. The agency will also provide representatives to meet with Mexican nationals in Pennsylvania, Delaware and southern New Jersey in order to disseminate information and conduct counseling regarding employment discrimination matters.
The EEOC and the Mexican Consulate will work together to regularly provide information regarding workplace discrimination on Spanish-language radio stations throughout their respective jurisdictions.
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws prohibiting discrimination in employment. Further information about the agency is available on its website at www.eeoc.gov.

However, this year the fun doesn't stop when the game ends.

*Editor: Some mild coarse language
"Drink water, drive on." I think anyone who's spent any time in the military has heard that expression or something similar.
There's no doubt that in the military we have a tough mindset. If it ain't broke or gushing blood, take some Ibuprofen and get moving!
That's great when you're dealing with a genuine malingerer or someone who's just being a bitch but what about someone who's hurt in a way that you or I can't see?
That mindset can, too often, lead us to question the sincerity of someone who legitimately has problems that need to be addressed before they progress too far.
The media, of course, has no issues making a diagnosis and passing judgment.
Any time a veteran or a soldier twists off it's automatically PTSD. After all, the media's image of a psychotic killer is far more dramatic than the possibility that maybe the person in question was just a shit bag and a criminal. Which one gets better ratings?
That's not to say that every case of a soldier committing a crime or committing suicide wasn't caused in some way by PTSD, but what about the thousands upon thousands of soldiers and veterans out there who have PTSD or combat stress and never do anything bad to themselves or others? We veterans, the military, and the media need to stop jumping to conclusions and making assumptions.
I was guilty of an assumption a few weeks ago. I ran across a book, Unspoken Abandonment, by Bryan Wood. It was about some of the mental issues that soldiers can come back from war with. His experiences in Afghanistan were different from mine in Iraq and I ended up questioning if he had ever been there. In the end it turned out I was probably wrong and some of the perceived discrepancies were for literary purposes only. I gave the book five stars in the end, and kicked myself for committing the very offense I've so often thought the rest of the Army was often guilty of.
Most importantly, after swallowing my foot, the book got me thinking. Anyone who has gone to war has probably been through something that human beings aren't meant to go through. It might seem minor compared to losing a limb or watching a friend die in your arms, but you don't have to get blown up and knocked out or shoot someone at point blank range to experience something that 99% of the population will not. And, if it's not normal for a human being to experience, then who are we (or the Army, or the VA) to say that the person enduring that should have a "normal" soldiers reaction and simply shrug and move on?
I'm not advocating for soldiers to thrown down a "stress card" and sit down on the job, saying they have combat fatigue and they need two weeks R&R any time they get a little tired and stressed out. When the shit hits the fan, or even if there is simply a mission to be done, you have to drink water and drive on. That's what the oath we took and the uniform we wear means. But, when all is said and done, the simple check the box evaluation and RTD isn't always the right answer. The mindset of looking for reasons not to treat a soldier or veteran so they can be sent back to wherever they came from, "cleared" because they didn't go through something as bad as losing a limb, or a have a friend die right in front of them, is bullshit.
Dave Grossman broke down the mentality of the military well with his analogy of wolves, sheep, and sheepdogs. Let's take that a step further though. If most of the population isn't capable of violence, then isn't it possible that most of the population is also not capable of handling most of the things experienced in war? Those of us who willingly put on a uniform and go into harms way are a different group than the rest of the population, but we are still only human. Is it too far of a stretch to say that things that would traumatize a civilian might just leave us with scars too?
Not everyone who goes to war will get PTSD. I'm not even sure that most of the people who go to war will. When I interviewed Chris Kyle regarding his book, he gave me his opinion that most soldiers will experience some sort of combat stress though. I think that's very true. My own experiences in Iraq were, by the Army standard I guess, mild. Yes I got shot at and I saw dead people. I did have to shoot a few times and I got blown up once by a small IED (it didn't even really knock me out). I lost friends but thankfully never in front of me. I got stressed out, hurt, hot and dehydrated. 90% or greater of the soldiers who were over there went through some of the same things, and some went through far worse.
There were a few nightmares that went away in time, and a few flashbacks that still happen now and again if everything is right. I went for a run at night a few years ago and the moonlight combined with the Texas breeze and the smell of dust all combined just right to where it felt like I was in Iraq, even though I knew I wasn't. Is that PTSD? No. Significant events can imprint themselves in our minds and familiarity can trigger parts of those memories I think. It was nothing more than that.
But, that was my experience with the war and combat stress. My buddy is not me, and the next veteran is not him. A friend of mine went through one of the same shooting incidents that I did and he handled it differently than me. I talked about it to anyone who would listen until I'm sure they were all annoyed as hell. He didn't. He bottled it up and now the psychiatrist just throws pills at him in handfuls (though he won't take all of them and is trying to find healthier ways to cope). Both of us are human though, and pulling the trigger on another human being isn't natural, so having some sort of adverse reaction to such an experience is natural. To my friend's credit he fights on, trying to find the healthiest way to cope and even gave me permission to mention him in this article.
I think that this is the most important point that the military and the VA need to grasp. Most everything in war is not natural so when a soldier has a negative reaction, that is actually a natural reaction to a negative thing. When we put on the uniform, contrary to what some activists might think, we don't give up our humanity. We aren't permitted to commit war crimes simply because we are at war, even though we have to endure stress and hardships and killing. There is nothing that says we aren't permitted to still be human though.
As sheepdogs we are capable of great violence, but we are also capable of empathy and sorrow and every other human emotion too. We are not the savage wolf that is capable of violence but incapable of empathy for their fellow man. Empathy is the tether that keeps us tied to our humanity in inhumane situations, and anyone who retains their humanity through war will probably have some sort of scars from it. They will not always match the perceived size of the injury because every mind is different and every person has different coping methods. I hope that one day the military and the VA will fully grasp that and extend more of a helping hand to those scarred by war.

I hope you get to see it there Matt!It's definitely weird. A different brand of weird from UPSTREAM COLOR (and I feel comfortable saying it's not nearly as masterful as that movie is) but weird all the same. It's going to frustrate and/or annoy a lot of people.
A Ghost Story is one of several of this years Sundance movies that have sold before the festival even began, as distributors are trying to avoid all-night bidding wars with new deep-pocketed players. Thats an early sign this years festival could be a robust market.
Our joke pitch for the project was Beetlejuice as remade by Apichatpong Werathesakul.

Benefits of Seaweed
Sea vegetables are virtually fat-free, low in calories and one of the richest sources of minerals in the vegetable kingdom as they have ready access to the abundant minerals found in the ocean. Nourishment is acquired across the sea vegetables' entire surface through the gentle wave action of underwater currents.
For centuries, new mothers in Korea have replenished themselves with seaweed soup to assist them in their postpartum recovery and rejuvenation. According to ancient Korean folklore, this postpartum tradition was learned from observing female whales that would seek out and eat strands of seaweed after giving birth.

Cassy -- Yes, congratulations on being an 8 year survivor. That must have been a really scary time for you, and you had to be strong for not only yourself, but your little boy, too.
I have a friend going through chemotherapy right now for breast cancer and another friend who just found out she has the gene that predisposes her to both breast and ovarian cancer. Suddenly I find that life isn't as safe as I once thought it was.
Thank you for publicizing this important cause. I will check out the link.

Got a burning tech question? Email Tony Huntimer at email@example.com
Q. Tony,
I bought '69 Camaro about two years ago and finally noticed that there's no VIN tag on the firewall. There is one on the dash. Where else can I find a VIN number? Is not having the tag on the firewall a problem?
Rafael Otero
Via facebook
A. Rafael,
The tag on your dashboard (visible through the windshield) is your VIN tag. There are two more locations to find your VIN. Both of them are known as "hidden VINs" because they can't be seen without removing parts to read them. The first place you will find one is on the passenger side on top of the firewall. You won't be able to see it without removing the cowl panel, which requires removing the wiper arms. The second hidden VIN is also located on the firewall, this one hidden by the heater box/blower motor box. Not technically tags, these hidden VIN's are stamped directly into the sheetmetal and only contain the last 8 digits of the VIN.
The tag that's supposed to be on your firewall next to your wiper motor is called a cowl tag (aka trim tag). The cowl tag is stamped with production information such as: model year (e.g., 1969), model type (coupe or convertible), assembly plant (VN=Van Nuys or NOR=Norwood), interior trim color and style (standard or deluxe), body color (lower and upper), body production month and week, and trim options. The only other place you may find this information is on the "broadcast sheet." This sheet was used on the assembly line to make sure all the correct accessories were installed. It was considered garbage, so if the workers at the plant didn't hide it somewhere in the car (e.g., under the rear seat, under the dash, on top of the fuel tank, etc.), it was thrown away by the dealership or by one of the owners between 1969 and today. Needless to say, it would be extremely rare to find a broadcast sheet in your 1969 Camaro. You would almost have better chances of winning the Lotto.
Since your car is missing the cowl tag, it's probably a good idea to confirm that the number on your dashboard matches one of the partial hidden VINs on your car. There's never a good reason as to why a trim tag is missing. It could have been removed and lost during a restoration, but typically it would be removed if a previous owner might have tried to pass the car off as something that it's not (e.g., SS, RS, Z/28, etc.).
Not having the trim tag on your '69 is not a big deal unless it's an SS, RS, or Z/28 and you're trying to sell it to cash in on that value.
There is a service that can reproduce a trim tag for you, but they can only go by the information you give them. They don't have access to the actual records of your vehicle. Look them up online at trimtags.com.
Q. Tony,
Back in 1991, John Hooper wrote a two-part story on the Gibb/Harrell Racer. It was printed in the April issue of the Chevy/Corvette Buyer's Guide and supposedly the May issue if the second part of the article ever saw the light of day. I am fortunate to have obtained the April issue, which has part one, but nowhere have I been able to locate the May 1991 issue.
Do you know of the publication and/or a way to contact John Hooper to see if this was actually printed?
There is an October 1991 Chevy/Corvette Buyer's Guideon eBay that has been there for a long time, so I'm pretty sure the publication was ongoing at least through October of 1991. I am not sure if the article was taken from the source book, but I have my doubts. I am rather of the thinking that he wrote a shortened version compiled from various articles.
Thanks for any help.
La Harpe, Illinois
Via email
A. Ron,
I saw the issues you referred to on eBay. The Chevy/Corvette Buyer's Guidelooks like it was an old Auto Trader-style used car guide/classifieds magazine for Camaros, Corvettes, and other Chevy muscle cars. Unfortunately, these are probably the types of magazines that ended up in the circular file every month.
I checked with my sources and didn't find any contact information on John Hooper or old copies of Chevy/Corvette Buyer's Guide.
If you haven't done so, get on the forum at Camaros.org and put in a request for this information. One or two of the core members and the majority of their standard members there are responsive and have a lot of knowledge on the writers and articles from back then. The same goes for Yenko.net. I bet you'll get some help from one of those two sites.
We can also hit up the readers of Camaro Performersmagazine. If anyone has information to assist Ron, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or through our Facebook page.
Q. Hey Tony,
I am a loyal subscriber to Camaro Performers magazine and I have a quick question for you about my '97 Z28 convertible, Z4C 30th Anniversary Edition. What are your thoughts on the future value of my car? What would happen to its value if I make modifications to the engine (minor mods to improve performance), interior (seat covers in white/hugger orange leather combo vs. pure white leather), and upgraded wheels and brakes. I know there weren't many Z4C convertibles produced. I value your opinion.
Tom Gore
Via email
A. Tom,
I'm familiar with a car that looks just like yours. I have a GM 30th Anniversary poster of your convertible (probably not your exact car) in an old gas station with other Camaros. According to production numbers, there were 4,533 Z4C 30th Anniversary Edition Camaros. There were only 3,297 Z28 convertibles produced. I'm not aware of how many Z4C convertible Z28s were produced. From past experiences, I can only speculate that your car would be collectible if the production numbers were less than 100 and your car had 20 miles on the odometer.
Now, if it were my car I would make the modifications you mentioned but not make any non-reversible changes. I might even go so far as to obtain some used seats to change the upholstery. I would save all my original parts in a safe place and have fun with my Z4C Anniversary Edition Z28. If I ever found out it was worth a fortune, I would put it all back to stock, sell it, and live the rest of my life with as many Camaros as I could fit in my castle.
Q. Tony,
I have an '80 Berlinetta Camaro with a 350 small-block backed by a four-speed. It's my first car and daily driver. I installed an Edelbrock fuel injection system and an Accel distributor. It is a restoration in progress, and I plan to rewire the car from bumper to bumper even though the harness isn't hacked up. I also plan on refinishing the firewall area at the same time. My issue is that I'm having trouble finding a replacement instrument cluster wiring harness, while the wiring leading to it is available. If you could point me in the direction of finding a harness for my car, that would be great. Otherwise, my mechanic may have to do some wire splicing.
My Camaro also likes to go through rear axle pinion seals. If you know of any solutions please let me know.
Last question: Do you know of a delay wiper system that will fit my Camaro?
Thanks for your help,
Marc McAllister

A. Hello Marc,
Thanks for your letter. I noticed that you stated that your Camaro is a restoration in process. Are you removing the Edelbrock fuel injection? Sorry, but I have to point this out and then we'll get to your questions. Restoration is defined as the action of returning something back to its original condition. It sounds like you're upgrading or rebuilding rather than restoring?
You mention the instrument cluster wiring harness, not the harness leading to it. I have to assume that you're talking about the printed circuit panel on the backside of the dash cluster. The printed circuit panel is a couple of sheets of plastic with thin metal strips between them. It was a cheap and fast solution to speed up production on the assembly line. Adding aftermarket gauges usually entails bypassing the panel to tap into the gauge signal or the power wire for the dash lights. I've done both. You or your mechanic will just need to trace the signals and get a wiring schematic to make sure you wire it correctly.
Typically, you would replace your electrical harness if your wiring harness is hacked up, your connectors are broken, the wire insulation is cracking, you've had an electrical fire, or you have an electrical gremlin you can't find. Of course, the best reason is if you want to upgrade to a harness with better quality wire and modern fuse box that uses blade-type ATO fuses and accommodates more aftermarket accessories not supported by the factory harness. American Auto Wire (americanautowire.com) carries their Factory Fit line, which is a great source for replacement reproduction wire harnesses that fit like the factory harnesses and have all the correct connectors. If you're looking to upgrade the system with a late-model fuse box and additional circuits, check out American Auto Wire or Painless Wiring (painlessperformance.com).
Your rear axle pinion seal leak could be going out on a regular basis if the sealing surface on the yoke is worn out (not smooth). It's also possible that the pinion bearing is worn out, allowing the pinion and the yoke to move enough to shorten the life of the seal.
With the rear of your Camaro safely on jack stands and the tires free to rotate, check for play in the pinion bearing by grabbing the rear portion of the driveshaft with both hands and try to move it up and down and side to side. Any visible play should be addressed by a shop that specializes in differentials.
Intermittent wipers on the Camaro were first available in the '77 model year as optional equipment. You can get used original parts for an intermittent system for your '80 from salvage yards that specialize in older cars, like GM Sports Salvage (gmsportssalvage.com). You can find most of the necessary reproduction parts to upgrade a two-speed wiper system to a stock intermittent system from companies like Ground up (ss396.com), National Parts Depot (npdlink.com), Classic Industries (classicindustries.com), Camaro Central (camarocentral.com) Rick's Camaro (rickscamaros.com), or YearOne (yearone.com).
The alternative is to check out the Selecta-Speed wiper kit from Detroit Speed (detroitspeed.com). It has five delay speeds, low speed, and high speed. I had one of their wiper kits in my daily driven '68 Camaro and loved it. The '68 factory wiper had a low speed that had to be turned off and on during light rain, while the high speed was more like "ludicrous speed."

It�s hard work, digging a grave. Sarah came into the bedroom after taking Mark to school. I asked her if she wanted to work out at the Y. �No,� she said. �Argus is dead.�
It�s hard work, digging a grave.
Sarah came into the bedroom after taking Mark to school. I asked her if she wanted to work out at the Y.
�No,� she said. �Argus is dead.�
We all knew it was coming, but it was still a shock. The veterinarian said he was dying a month ago when he prescribed pain medications for our 12-year-old, stubborn, faithful, moon-faced golden retriever.
Argus perked up after we started giving him the meds, and I sort of forgot that he was on his last legs. But on Monday, Memorial Day, Argus would only get up with coaxing, and I remembered.
I took the old dog outside and gave him a garden hose shower, wiped his eyes clean and sat with him in a sunny patch until he was mostly dry. His breathing was ragged, but after awhile he perked up, leaned against me, and smiled.
There isn�t a dog on this earth that could hug better than Argus.
It was our last embrace. He didn�t last the night.
I�ve known Argus most of his life. He of bad knees and itchy skin, who loved to play fetch but not return, loyal and obedient except when unleashed or unconfined.
When you played fetch with Argus, you had to have two balls. He wouldn�t return one unless he had another to fetch.
Argus was one to stand his ground even if giving way benefited him. He�d stand immovable in front of the door that you had to open to take him for a walk, or hover like a statue over the food dish that needed filling.
In his later years, the only thing that really got him moving was a good thunderstorm. In a thunderstorm, he could leap over anything, break out of almost anywhere and find our bedroom, always stopping to pee on the way.
We finally resorted to a sturdy cage whenever trouble brewed in the skies, and he seemed more secure and happy confined in such a way.
For one so frightened by bolts from the sky, Argus outlasted other pets, except Gracy, our German shepherd, who was his constant companion. The two bickered constantly over who got water first or who got more food. I always thought Gracy didn�t care much for Argus, but this past week has been hard on her. Any companion is better than no companion when you live on the back porch.
On Tuesday morning I put on my summer uniform of cargo shorts, old athletic shoes and a gray T-shirt, grabbed a shovel and, with Sarah�s help, we dug a grave for Argus. It was exhausting; there should be a fitness machine called Gravedigger.
By morning rigor mortis had set in, and Argus was stubborn to the last, even going into the grave.
He joins his special friend Lucky the cat, who scratched his back, and others who were less friendly with him, including Mortimer the bird and Dingo the mutt.
Rest in peace, Old Man. Until we meet again.
Thanks for letting me take up some of your Sunday morning.

GOP sees nepotism in South Dakota
South Dakota Sen. Tim Johnson is widely expected to announce his retirement this month, and Johnson loyalists want his son to succeed him.
But Republicans are ready to pounce with charges of nepotism, and several Democrats fear that line of attack would work if Brendan Johnson, the state's U.S. attorney, jumps in the race.
Story Continued Below
Top Democrats in Washington and many back in South Dakota prefer former Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin over the younger Johnson, believing the former congresswoman would have a better chance at keeping the seat in Democratic hands, people involved with the matter say. Republicans already have one very formidable candidate — former Gov. Mike Rounds — and possibly a second in Rep. Kristi Noem.
A source close to Senate leadership said: "Stephanie has a lot of support and would start in a stronger position, and Senate Democrats want time to assess."
Democrats are eager to avoid a primary that would pit their two biggest rising stars against each other in a state of just 800,000 people that Mitt Romney carried by 18 points. The party also needs a candidate to challenge the incumbent governor and to run for the sole U.S. House seat.
The younger Johnson, 37, doesn't have a voting record to defend. And he's the namesake of a powerful political brand that has helped Democrats keep a foothold in the heart of Republican country.
But what makes the younger Johnson an attractive candidate also makes him a ripe target for the GOP, which is already targeting him for what they see as under-the-radar maneuvering to lay the groundwork for a statewide campaign.
"They don't like a sense of entitlement. They don't like the whole dynasty concept. They don't like too much power in one or few persons' hands," GOP Sen. John Thune said of voters in his state. "There's a real independence streak that goes through our state."
Republican state chairman Craig Lawrence predicted the nepotism charges would cost Johnson 6 to 8 points.
"It's nothing against Brendan Johnson personally," he said. "It's simply against the concept of United States Senate seats being part of your family estate."
The pre-emptive strike against the younger Johnson by the GOP underscores the significance of the seat in the race for control of the Senate next year. The likely retirement of his father, who spent a decade in the House before being elected to the Senate in 1996, would give Republicans a shot at another open seat.
Democratic retirements in West Virginia and Iowa already have given the GOP new hope of winning the net six seats they need to take the upper chamber. So far, Republican retirements have occurred in two deeply red states, Nebraska and Georgia, while another Democratic retirement occurred in the Democratic stronghold of New Jersey.
"I think all the retirements that have been announced on both the Republican and Democrat side are to our advantage," said Kansas Sen. Jerry Moran, the new chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. "The retirements that the Democrats are experiencing lend themselves to being replaced by Republicans."
Democrats in South Dakota are weighing whether Herseth Sandlin would be a stronger candidate, despite her loss during the Republican wave in 2010.
"There may be some backlash," Ted Muenster, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in 1990, said of a possible Brendan Johnson bid. "I would hate to see Brendan's potential political career sidetracked because of that. He's young, and he's got plenty of time left. Somebody told me the other day that this is the sort of thing that happens in the Middle East."
"Brendan is a very viable candidate but equally or as much so is Congresswoman Herseth Sandlin," said state Senate Minority LeaderJason Frerichs. "She's a proven winner statewide and was able to prove herself not only in Washington as a successful moderate but someone who could talk with folks on both sides of the state."
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee declined to comment.

How to: A braided hairstyle for summer
See Gallery
There's something about summer that makes me want to braid my hair constantly. Maybe it's a flashback to middle school or maybe it's just an attempt to get my hair out of my face in this heat, but either way, braids are my go-to. This braided hairstyle is one I fell on by accident when my hair just wasn't working one day. The front looked horrible and the rest looked decent, so I started playing around with the front pieces and came up with this little do. It's actually pretty simple once you master the french braid and works great for casual or dressy occasions. You could even put your hair in a low bun after the braid to mix it up the look! Follow the step-by-step tutorial by clicking through the gallery.

Minimum age at start of season = 5
Maximum age at start of season = 5
Welcome to the Teddington U6 page for the 2019/20 season. We welcome any new players no experience necessary who are in school year 1 born between 1/9/2014 - 31/8/2015.
Player Progression
Friendlies, Triangular & Festivals. Boys & Girls, Max numbers 4, Max Pitch Size 20 x 12, Max mins per half 10, Max mins per day 50, Tag
Teddington RFC is proud of its long minis rugby heritage, developing boys and girls to learn the game at their own pace, and making sure they have plenty of fun while playing.
We have a commitment to good fun and good rugby provided in a friendly, family orientated environment. The hallmark of the club is its inclusiveness and its warm, welcoming, and friendly family atmosphere.
Our aim simply in the minis is to give the players "the best two hours of their week through rugby." "We also develop freethinking rugby players who can make the right decision at the right time in the majority of instances."
The Game of Mini Rugby
Mini Rugby has been around for a long time however, is going through a fundamental change to how the game is being delivered to young children. Young people tell us that above all else they want to have fun playing rugby with their friends. This is at the heart of a new age grade rugby framework that will launch from September 2016 for six to eighteen year olds.
This will ensure the game is player centered, development driven, and competition supported. It will put inclusivity and each player's skill development first, increasing the intensity of competition in line with motivations of our young players. It aims to help children develop and learn the game at their own pace, and make sure they have plenty of fun whilst playing competitively.
Age Grade Rugby Brochure
The new updated brochure is here for you. The document includes confirmation of all the rules of play and competitive menu and helpful information to keep our player's safety at the front of everyone's minds. Hard copies will be available in the clubhouse at the start of the season.
Regulation 15
The RFU Age Grade regulations for 2017-18 can be found here. Also attached is the new "beefed up" guidance to support its application. This is an interactive document to allow easier navigation. There are changes to the regulation and guidance that relate to the rollout of Age Grade Rugby in September so please share the information with as many as you can.
When and where we train
Minis play every Sunday from 9.45am to 11.45am. The sessions start at 9.45am and we recommend you turn up before that to ensure that your child is ready to participate once the session starts. The first few weeks of the season are also very busy with registering players so please bear this in mind. Junior rugby operates from 12.00 until 14.00, although this can vary depending on fixtures etc.
The club is situated in Bushy Park behind the National Physical Laboratory, and can be accessed from Coleshill Road entrance or the various entrances off the Hampton Road or Hampton High Street. Parking is available in the Clapperstile car park that is on the NPL site, accessed off Queens Road – just follow the signs.
What you need to bring
All balls, tag belts, tackle bags and other equipment necessary for playing the club provides. All you need to bring are boots (studs should be rounded, and not have edges), be dressed for the weather, and from U9 upwards, bring a gumshield which is essential to partake in contact Rugby. Once you become a member you may decide to buy kit which you can do so on Sunday mornings in the locker behind the clubhouse. U7 and over should all wear the official Minis Shirt. Bring along a water bottle and some snacks for break times.
Our Coaches, Team managers, First Aiders are all parents and volunteers
Every age group has its own coaching structure with a Head Coach, leading a team of Coaches, first aiders & team managers. Most of our Coaches will have a child in the group they are coaching and whilst many draw experience from having played the game, there are those who are new to rugby but want to get involved in some capacity. Volunteers are always encouraged & welcomed, with coaches supported through a variety of courses run by the club and RFU. All coaches, team managers, and first aiders are DBS checked. The club arranges First aid courses for First Aiders. All courses are paid for by the club.
To join the club you will need to register on our website and pay online. The subscription costs for the full year are based on the eldest child first. The season starts on Sunday 8th September. There is no need to pre-register before this date as we operate a 'turn up and play' policy for our new members. On your trial session(s) please go the clubhouse and register your son/daughter and ensure you have read our terms and conditions.
Your child(ren) can then come to up to "3 free sessions" before you decide whether you would like to commit to the full season.
You will then be asked to pay the annual fees set out below and fully register with the club via the website teddingtonrfc.co.uk. You can of course register online beforehand to receive club messages.
U6 Family Membership £80
U7-U12 Mini Family Membership £165
Mini Siblings £80 each, this is for the 2nd or more children
Membership includes
Minis Tour
The club has a long history of taking the minis away for a weekend on tour each year typically around March / April for around £120 per person. The whole family is encouraged to attend. As with any great tradition, a tour means so much more than players going away for an end of season match. It is part of our rich rugby heritage that bonds a club and players together. Children make friends and have memories they will hold dear for life. It is a rite of passage and an opportunity for children to experience something more than a holiday or a tournament. It is a unique learning experience: children grow in confidence as they are allowed degree of social independence in a safe environment.
Half Backs
Teddington RFC employs Half Backs to deliver coaching to our U3-U5 age group (Lion Cubs) on Sunday mornings directly outside the clubhouse from 10am-11am. The course is designed to help children with their fundamental movement skills with a focus on developing a whole athlete child. The focus is on catching, throwing, kicking, decision making and evasion skills.
Please find further information on the Half Backs website

"with strength equal to that of YKN's MK918N", that's because it is a YKN MK918N chain but with paint on! And it is a tenner cheaper.
Colourful components are all the rage amongst the single speed and fixer fraternity and Gusset's slink half-link design certainly won't disappoint those looking for a great value chain delivering comparable performance to the bigger players. However, the weight penalty may deter some. If fancy colours aren't your thing and you just want a well-priced half-link chain there is a silver option which is even cheaper.
Made from head treated steel and with strength equal to that of YKN's MK918N the slink is available in a choice of narrow 3/32 or time honoured 1/8th inch. Our lighter 3/32 test model took all the punishment I could inflict without batting an eyelid. 102 links feature clever cutaway inner plate edges to provide better sprocket alignment, translating into a more refined transmission-especially on smaller sprockets or when running "magic" gears. This also helps counteract sag without recourse to chain devices on frames with vertical ends.
There was just sufficient length to run a 48x16 configuration on my road path bike and refinement seems equal to that of costlier designs thanks to greatly improved rigidity, inspiring confidence when transmission braking or track-standing in the wet. Phenomenal rigidity makes for greater efficiency when sprinting away from the lights or putting the hammer down on the open road. It's a competent performer on the trails too-serenely quiet and absolutely bombproof so well suited to the rigours of single speed cyclo cross.
Tested through a wet July with only the drizzle of factory lube hasn't impaired performance and the finish seems better than I expected-a bonus on single speed bikes likely to be ridden in the worst conditions. When all's said and done, it won't disappoint if you're on a modest budget, like the look of half link designs and turn moderate gears.
Bargain chain well suited to single speed and fixer conversions.

road.cc test report
Make and model: Gusset Slink Chain coloured
Size tested: 3/32\\
Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
Gusset's Slink (like most half-link chains of this ilk) is primarily a BMX/Trials chain but the narrower 3/32 makes a very easy transition to aggressive singlespeed and fixer duties.
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?
102 heat treated steel links with clever cutaway inner plate edges give better alignment and counteract chain sag when used with smaller sprockets.
A whopping 360g
Very much a bargain.
Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose
There's no doubt the Slink compares favourably with costlier designs. Phenomenal rigidy offers explosive getaways at the lights and easy trackstands while you're waiting for them to change. Quality of construction generally seems excellent, although time will tell as to the finish's durability when ridden through salt strewn winter roads.
Tell us what you particularly liked about the product
Style, Price and high quality construction.
Tell us what you particularly disliked about the product
In keeping with the breed, a little short and fairly hefty.
Did you enjoy using the product? Yes
Would you consider buying the product? Possibly
Would you recommend the product to a friend? Yes

Fair point Jezzer, as I understand it magic gears are the combination of gears - sprocket and chainring that allows you to run a bike with vertical dropouts as a fixed. There some excellent info on the subject here

I am responding to Stan Howell's letter to the editor, "PTSD vets don't shoot each other with paint balls," in the Nov. 5 edition of The Lancaster News. Dr. Stan Howell is how I should address you now, correct? Everyone's brain chemistry for different events are different, and one has no control over that. Obviously, you did not read the entire article, "Former trooper helps others cope with stress disorder," about how I am finishing college and volunteering for a nonprofit organization to assist veterans with PTSD and moving on.
