I like this part
I guess it's time to archive all of my caches on geocaching.com and switch to OC :)
If that's what you feel you need to do, but all means you should do it. It's going to take more than free access to draw me to it. There are other possible issues that make me feel it's not worth jumping into opencaching head first.
Not implying you are that way, cano, but I would love if anyone who felt cache quality, quantity, or permission means nothing moves all their caches over to opencaching.
It's not about free access. It's about freedom. All data are released under Creative Commons License. You can even create your own version of geocaching site with features you like and synchronize all data with OC. Soon many feature rich geocaching websites like this will emerge.
That's actually not going to happen. As a matter of fact open caching will evolve many ways to deal with low quality caches and issues.
You are welcome to stay on a site where some company and some publishers (I didn't vote for) think they own the game and want YOU to play the game the way how THEY like and no other way. Open Caching is a platform for open minded people that are open to new ideas and are not afraid to experiment.

2015 Volvo XC90 Comes Closer to Driving Itself
The next-generation Volvo XC90 will arrive at the end of 2014 as a 2015 model, and it will be packed full of the brand's latest and greatest safety technology.
"We are introducing the first Volvos with autonomous steering to avoid accidents and make driving more comfortable," said Volvo senior safety advisor Thomas Broberg.
The autonomous steering in the XC90 is made up of three separate technologies: pedestrian detection, road edge and barrier detection, and adaptive cruise control with steering assistance.
The pedestrian detection system uses senors and automatic braking to stop the car if a collision with a pedestrian, cyclist, or other vehicle is deemed imminent. The system has now been adapted to work in the dark as well.
SEE ALSO: Volvo Autonomous Parking Detailed
Road edge detection takes "lane-keep assist" further by detecting where the physical road ends rather than looking for painted lines. If headed for the edge of the road, the XC90 will autonomously apply steering torque to bring the vehicle back on track.
Volvo's adaptive cruise control works differently than other automakers by automatically following the vehicle ahead and working to keep it centered through autonomous steering.
Collision mitigation specifically meant for animals is also coming to the XC90, but it won't be introduced until some time after the vehicle launches in late 2014.
Moving closer to fully autonomous vehicles, Volvo is also investigating car-to-car communication and the brand is already testing a self-parking car that can find its way to a parking space using car-to-infrastructure communication.

When the portfolio acquired a taste for the little restaurant chain in March the shares were 182.5p. So a 157.5p a share gain in less than six months is a result. But should I cash in, or stay with the enlarged group?
I recommended Montana because it was an intriguing young company which could have an exciting future. It was started by Mr Finch, a former investment banker who scored by spotting the early potential of nursing homes.
The shares were floated at 35p two years ago. They made steady headway, boosted in April when three prominent institutions pumped pounds 960,000 into the group at 200p a share. The Montana concept of American-themed, up- market restaurants has appealed to the London palate. It has five London restaurants with number six to open next month.
Mr Finch, who will be chief executive of the enlarged group, appears to have felt inhibited by the low-profile Ofex existence and clearly believes a move to AIM will improve the investment image and make it easier to raise cash for expansion. A year ago Hartford, then a traditional shell, acquired the Pharmacy whose investors include the artist Damien Hirst, spin-doctor Matthew Freud and businessmen Nigel Wray and Nick Leslau. It has not covered itself in glory since. But the arrival of Mr Finch in what is, in effect, a reverse takeover should improve its performance.
With the merger seemingly a done deal - shareholders with more than 50 per cent of Montana's capital have signalled their acceptance of the Hartford terms - the group is set to emerge as a powerful player in the fragmented restaurant market. On Ofex, Montana's shares are standing at 290p, reflecting some doubt about the strength of Hartford shares on AIM and, perhaps, illustrating some of Ofex's trading limitations. But with SG Securities underwriting a pounds 3.5m placing of its new consolidated shares at 62.5p, the 340p price is a realistic valuation at this stage.
The question that outside Montana shareholders have to answer is whether they want to stay with the enlarged group, holding Hartford shares, or cash in by selling in the market.
There is no rush to decide. Although a counter-offer would seem out of the question you cannot be completely certain until the formalities are completed. My inclination is to reserve judgement until the long merger process is almost complete. But whether I stay with the group, which expects to obtain a full listing next year, or not, the portfolio needs another fledgling. These shares are not for the proverbial widows and orphans but they do add a little spice to the proceedings.
It will be difficult, perhaps impossible, to alight upon another quickfire hit like Montana. But Ofex, and to a lesser extent AIM, have an assortment of bright young hopefuls which will either attract a bidder or develop into one of the more powerful players of the next millennium. It would, of course, be foolish to buy merely to get a little 'un on board
Allied Domecq is another portfolio constituent demanding a decision following the sale of its pubs estate to Punch Taverns. Much of the consideration is in cash paid directly to Allied shareholders although some Bass shares are on offer. I will, nearer the completion date, decide whether to stay with the slimmed-down Allied, accept any Bass shares and what do with the cash.

Typhonblue had some interesting things to say about tradcons:
The Men's Rights Movement offers an effective opposition to feminism.
Traditionalists oppose feminism the way indulgent parents oppose their spoilt rotten daughter when she's throwing a petite mal tantrum in the middle of a grocery store:
"Oh, dear, please don't do that, please don't be upset, sweetheart let daddy get you a loli? No? A doll? A puppy?" And then the indulgent traditionalist daddy turns around and breaks his son's nose with his fist for "not stopping your sister from getting upset in the first place!"
Why is this? Because traditionalists are not equipped to recognize female agency, much less deal with it. Over and over again they prove that they prefer to blame the nearest man.
This is an excellent summary of tradcon behavior.
Also isn't it sort of suspicious that traditionalist women are suddenly interested in opposing feminism just as male liberation is getting off the ground?
That entire article was void of any compassion for men; any sense that men exist outside of the writer's fears and needs.
Traditionalist women need the Men's Rights Movement far more then the MRM needs traditionalist women. They are gynocentric to the core; would they be willing to challenge their own male-hatred? Their gynocentric beliefs? The idea that women have the right or even the ability to define men? How about the author's apparent knee-jerk belief that men are always to blame?
Tradcon women need the MRM in the same way that WW1 generals need large armies of cannon fodder. This is why, as Typhonblue correctly points out, tradcon women need the MRM more than the MRM needs tradcon women. In fact, the MRM doesn't need tradcon women at all (unless they become actual MRAs).
13 Responses to "Typhonblue On Tradcons"
Barbarossaaaa just posted an excellent video on youtube on how feminism and traditionalism are both gynocentrism.
But what is motivating traditionalist women to do this? Are they really unable to find men to marry? I have seen Bennett et al telling men to man up, and Suzanne Venker blaming feminist war on men.. and even the occasional feminist woman in her late 30s or 40s unable to find a man to marry..
but do we have any solid anecdotes/articles of conservative women in their youth or later unable to find men to marry?-
In the christian community, there is an emerging recognition that men are leaving churches and the ones who stay are either elderly, married, or eager-to-please sycophants. Seriously, one pastor called them "Bible dweebs" in a blog.
So the young women in the church don't get tingles from any of the single men in the church, and they have to seek tingles outside the church. (Or, they mate with interlopers running Sunday Morning Nightclub Game.) Plus, the marriage rate society-wide is dropping like a stone and desirable men have great incentive to avoid commitment.
It's the Church's own fault, because their longstanding female supremacism combined with a focus on female-centric "feelings-based" worship rather than goal-based teachings that men favor. This helped the men in the leadership positions form their own harems of female attention and $$$ but it turned off the upwardly mobile men.
Traditionalists are upset because they feel their preferred female pedestal rotting under their feet, and they would prefer not to sully themselves by jumping on the feminist pedestal.
Tradcons do not exist. They are a hypothetical construct of the feminist mind.
This is a crap article.
There are lots of people who call themselves tradcons. We certainly get enough white knighting from them. How can you say tradcons don't exist?
Is there any reason to believe there are enough men in the MRM for even tradcon women to care about, much less "need"? Outside blog circles, the MRM is unknown. Politically, in the US, the MRM is a nullity. I know in the UK the fathers' rights guys have at least managed to notify the public that they exist.
Tradcon women spend a lot of time obsessing over the MRM. That says it all.
These are not the droids you're looking for.
"Tradcons do not exist. They are a hypothetical construct of the feminist mind.
This is a crap article."
These are not the droids you're looking for.
Tradcons are confidence tricksters.
In the modern world, there is about as much chance of the average guy finding a woman that will be loyal to him, that there is of finding a diamond in a stream.By the time they're ready to get married,
most women have hosted a cock parade.Women choose who they have sex with …
but men choose who they commit to.Hence why average men are now avoiding marriage, to the average woman who has it easy in getting sex.
Traditionalist conservatives don't exist?
That is just laughable.
Put two women and a couple of cats in a one-bedroom apartment, and this will encourage more men to GTOW. We know we'll never come out of there alive.
I'm not surprised. I live in a high end condo building which has a good percentage of the units available for rent. This allows me to see who is buying condos and who is renting condos (which are the equivalent of high end apartments for rent). There are no single women here living by themselves. There are unmarried women living with roommates, unmarried women living with boyfriends, married couples, and some guys living by themselves like me, but no women living by themselves. This means even women who have large salaries can't foot a mortgage or rent here. And I live in a large condo building so I should be able to find at least one woman living by herself even if she's a widow.
Like you said, these women have no prospects martially or financially.

St. Henry slips by Marion Pleasant with blocked PAT
MARION - After a scoreless first half, it came down to execution and tenacity to decide a winner in the fifth meeting between St. Henry and Marion Pleasant.
The Redskins scored two touchdowns in the third quarter, then braved a Spartan comeback that came down to a missed PAT, a botched special teams move and a last-minute defensive stand that allowed St. Henry to beat Pleasant for the fifth time, 14-13, at Pleasant High School on Saturday night.
In the first 24 minutes of the game, St. Henry allowed Pleasant to drive into its territory, but was able to force punts or take over on downs on each occasion. St. Henry, however, was able to get only as close as the Pleasant 48-yard line before giving up possession.
"We played the game I thought we had to play to win," said Redskins coach Jeff Starkey. "We had one turnover, and I don't think we ever got a turnover. We knew we had to keep it close and keep the score down. We were going to have to play great defense and great special teams."
"Our defense did an outstanding job and our offense had opportunities," said veteran Spartans coach Chris Kubbs, "But we had a couple of dropped passes."
St. Henry got the ball to start the second half and immediately took control of the game with a 10-play, 69-yard drive that featured Brent Prenger. Prenger carried five times and picked up 35 yards to get the Redskins to the Pleasant 22. On second-and-five, Jordan Post, getting the start at quarterback for the injured Brad Stahl, went right before turning and firing the other way to tight end Shawn Dues, who scampered the 22 yards with 8:14 on the clock to put the Redskins up, 7-0.
After a Spartan punt, St. Henry made short work to go up 14-0 as Neil Schwieterman took the handoff on the first play, scooted through the defense and arrived at the end zone 72 yards later, making it 14-0 after Jon Speck's PAT.
"We were just getting chunks at a time," said Starkey. "Then Neil broke one that got a lot of momentum."
The big run seemed to respark Pleasant, which scored on the ensuing drive. Quarterback Cody Harris used solid passing to Cory Snyder and Elijah Sparling to move the chains, then got a big 20-yard run from fullback Jake Lawrence to put the ball at the Redskin 1, where Snyder punched in to make it 14-7.
"When we were down 14-0 I was not worried." said coach Kubbs. "We had things we thought we could hurt them with and we did."
After a Redskin four-and-out, Harris marched Pleasant 77 yards on eight plays, again finding key passes and getting a big run from Lawrence before Snyder cleaned up with a four-yard scoring run, but Corey Kubbs' PAT try was blocked to keep the score at 14-13.
"The point after, it's got to be executed, but that one play was not the difference." said coach Kubbs.
After a St. Henry possession went nowhere, Pleasant tried to drive again, but was lining up to punt from its own 33. The snap was over Corey Kubbs head and forced him to punt deep in his own territory. The ball landed on the Pleasant 37 - a four-yard punt - but a St. Henry player touched the ball, making it live. A Spartan jumped on the ball and the Spartans had new life. It would not last, however, as St. Henry's defense stepped up and limited Pleasant to just three yards before losing possession.
St. Henry, however, could not move the ball as both Prenger and Schwieterman appeared to be victims of cramps brought on by the heat. Forced to punt, Victor Fortkamp booted the ball to the Pleasant 22, giving the Spartans one more chance.
Harris moved the ball early, finding Kyle Beck for 19 yards and Sparling for another 14 to get into Redskin territory. After Harris got nine yards on the ground, St. Henry came back with a gang-sack, forcing the Spartans, who had no timeouts, to spike the ball forcing a fourth down. Harris looked deep for a receiver, but the catch was made out of bounds. Post then took two knees to close it out.
"We made some defensive stops," said Starkey. "We made a little mental mistake on the punt, but we came back and played. Our kids never stopped battling. I don't think I've been more proud of a football team."
Prenger paced the Redskins with 109 yards on 22 totes while Schwieterman added 92 yards on six carries.
Harris was 13-of-25 for 145 yards, with Sparling snagging six passes for 84 yards. Lawrence finished with 53 yards rushing.
St. Henry opens the home schedule Friday, hosting Kenton Ridge.

First floor rooms not seen. A significant house in its own right, with celebrated garden developed by two early C20 owners: it was the property of the Napper family (who also owned Tintinhull Court, q.v) by 1630, although they did not always occupy it, and seems to have been sold by them sometime after 1814: the C20 gardeners were the Revd. Dr. S.J.M. Price, up to l924, and from 1933 Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Reiss. Gardens included in Register of Parks and Gardens of special historic interest in England, HBMC, 1985 (Grade II). The house now the property of the National Trust. (Oswald A. Country Life 19th April 1956, article on p798 et seq; Journal of the Royal Horticultural Society, January 1955).

Lunar Sun Block - Solar EclipseA solar eclipse or eclipse of the sun occurs when the moon is dark or new. This is the first phase of the moon in which it is barely visible. The new moon has the sun at its back. It rises with the sun. The new moon is a time for introspection and personal growth. When the moon eclipses the sun, this is taken one step further as the moon, if only momentarily, takes over rulership of the daytime, empowering the feminine aspects in our lives. Although we experience a new moon about every 28 days, an eclipse of the sun, happens only a couple of times per year. This is due to the fact that the moons orbit around the earth and the earths orbit around the sun are at different angles. The two orbits do not occur on the same plane. When the sun, moon and earth move into alignment, a solar eclipse occurs. During a solar eclipse, the moon passes directly between the sun and the earth. From our perspective, here on earth, the moon, at first barely visible due to the brilliance of the sun which appears beside it seems to move in front of the sun blocking or eclipsing it. At this time, the masculine energy of the sun is eclipsed by the feminine energy of the moon. Assertiveness and ambition give way to introspection and receptivity. During the time surrounding a solar eclipse, we may feel that all our ducks are in a row. Our ambitions and emotions seem to be in agreement. We may feel cooperation flowing smoothly in our relationships. Before a solar eclipse, our thoughts and emotions may seem to be aligned. As the solar eclipse approaches, our emotions become stronger until at the time of the eclipse our emotions take over. Daytime is normally ruled by the sun, by action and by masculine energy, while the night is ruled by the moon, by emotion and by feminine energy. During the eclipse, the moon covers the sun and emotions get a chance to take control during the day, if only for a short while. In Greek mythology, the sun and moon are associated with Apollo and Artemis. Together the two children of Zeus and Leto, exemplify balance between dark and light, as well as between feminine and masculine. Apollo, the sun god is active during the day while Artemis, the moon roams at night. Youthful and beautiful, Apollo, with his golden lyre and silver bow carries the sun across the sky each day, pulling it behind his golden chariot. He is the bringer of light and truth, and healer of men. Artemis, his older twin sister, is Goddess of the Moon. A virgin goddess, Artemis resides in the forests where she is known as the huntress. Like her brother, she is a skilled archer, shooting her prey with silver arrows. A powerful warrior, Artemis hunts by the light of the moon. When the moon eclipses the sun, Artemis stands between her brother and their mother. With both children, pulling on Mother Earth from the same side, she must give way to their will. Residing here on Mother Earth, we feel the pull of powers beyond our control. At this time we must surrender to powers greater than our own. We must surrender to the universe, confident that in its infinite wisdom, it will return us once again to balance as the heavenly bodies dance gracefully across the day and night sky.

Soup — it's the easiest way to warm up your kitchen on a cold day and to feed yourself and your family in one delicious and healthy bowl. But you don't need a recipe to make soup, especially if you have a clutch of miscellaneous vegetables hanging out in your crisper. Nearly any vegetable can be turned into soup with a little time and effort.
If you are craving soup and you have vegetables and broth in your cupboard, you're all set. Here's a step-by-step guide to transforming nearly any kind of vegetable into delicious, nourishing soup.
What Kind of Vegetable? Any Kind?
Yep, nearly any vegetable will make tasty soup. Sweet potato, zucchini, squash, turnip, tomato, celery, mushrooms, onions, leeks, cabbage, kale, and chard. Potatoes, rutabaga, celeriac, cauliflower, broccoli — the list goes on.
The only caveat is that you need to like the flavor of the vegetable. You can tone down turnips' bitterness with cream or yogurt, and you can offset cabbage's aroma with creamy white beans or tart lemon, but you can't entirely erase the taste of a vegetable in soup, so don't put something in that you really don't like.
Also, nearly any texture of vegetable will work, from tender greens to hard squash, but the cooking time will change. A big pot of chard will cook down quickly, while butternut squash will need more time.
What Else Do You Need?
The essentials are vegetables and stock, plus olive oil or butter and some salt and pepper.
After that, all is optional. I usually add some aromatics — onion, garlic, or leeks — and some fresh herbs. You can flavor the vegetables with smoked salt or spices, like curry powder or cumin. I sometimes add a splash of wine to the stock.
After the soup is finished there are so many other ways to jazz it up — a can of diced tomatoes, a can of white beans or chickpeas, a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese or a dollop of yogurt.
What's the Basic Method?
Cut about a pound of vegetables into a medium dice — about an inch across — or smaller if you're using a hard, dense vegetable, like potato or winter squash. Sauté the vegetables in a little olive oil or butter, keeping the heat to low and letting the veggies really cook and develop flavor. Brown the vegetables if you want to. After the vegetables have softened and developed some fragrance and flavor, add about 4 cups of stock, cover and simmer. (Even water will do, in a pinch!) Simmer for about an hour or until all the vegetables are soft. Puree the soup in a blender or with an immersion blender for a creamy soup, if you like. Voilà! You have easy, flavorful vegetable soup.
To Puree or Not to Puree
When you cook vegetables in stock like this, you have a choice. You can stop cooking when the vegetables are al dente and tender, and slurp up your soup as it is — chunks and all, an improvised vegetable stew.
Or you can puree the soup until creamy. This works with any kind of soup, and you'll be surprised at how creamy a soup can be with no dairy at all. But I tend to like this best with sweet, dense vegetables like squash and sweet potato.
It's up to you — to puree or not to puree!
How To Make Soup from Any Vegetable
What You Need
1 to 2 pounds vegetables
Aromatics, such as onion, garlic, or leeks
Olive oil or unsalted butter
Salt and pepper
4 to 6 cups stock
Cutting board
Chef's knife
4-quart (or larger) pot or Dutch oven, with lid
Wooden spoon
- Choose and weigh 1 to 2 pounds of vegetables: I had quite a lot of vegetables in my refrigerator. I chose the ones that needed to be used up the soonest: a small head of cauliflower, and some carrots. I weighed them and they came out to about 2 pounds, although I knew the cauliflower would break down to much less when trimmed.
- Cut up the vegetables and aromatics: I chopped up the trimmed cauliflower and unpeeled carrots into evenly-sized chunks. I also chopped up 1 leek and 2 cloves of garlic.
- Heat olive oil: I heated up about 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat.
Choose Your Own Soup Adventure: Instead of olive oil, try butter, ghee, or coconut oil for sautéing the aromatics. Or start instead with diced bacon, chopped chicken thighs, or ground pork or lamb, and slowly render the fat then cook the aromatics. For aromatics, use a whole onion instead of the leeks, or add more garlic. Add finely diced fresh ginger, galangal, or chili peppers.
- Sauté aromatics: I added the leeks and garlic to the oil first and cooked gently for about 5 minutes or until they were fragrant and soft.
- Brown the vegetables: Then I added the chopped carrot and cauliflower and continued cooking for several minutes. The vegetables softened slightly and browned around the edges.
- Season the vegetables: It's best to season the vegetables at this point, especially if you're using low-sodium broth. Vegetables need salt and pepper, and if you are adding other seasonings such as spices or dried herbs, add them now so they flavor the soup from the ground up. I added about a half teaspoon each of cumin, chili powder, and smoked paprika.
Choose Your Own Soup Adventure: To flavor the soup, raid your spice cupboard. Try curry powder, chili powder, cumin, cinnamon, or any other warm and toasty spices. Get creative with salt; try smoked salt or truffle salt. Add dried herbs such as mint, oregano, or sage.
- Add broth: Add 4 to 6 cups of broth and bring to a simmer. Add a sprig of fresh herbs now if desired.
- Cover and simmer: Turn the heat down to low and cover the pot. Let cook for about 30 minutes, then check the soup. Are the vegetables as soft as you would like? If you want to leave the vegetables intact, take the soup off the heat now. If you want the vegetables very soft for pureeing, keep cooking until they are falling apart.
- Taste and season: Whether you are leaving the vegetables intact or pureeing the soup, make sure to taste the soup as it finishes cooking. A bland soup is no one's fault but the cook's! If it seems flat, add some vinegar or lemon juice. If it is too salty, thin out with some extra broth or dairy.
Choose Your Own Soup Adventure: Once the soup has finished cooking, you can jazz it up more, especially if you're not pureeing it. Add the last handful of leftover cooked pasta or a few crumbles of cooked ground turkey or beef. Lay cooked strips of chicken breast on top of each bowl. Add a 1/4 cup of rice, quinoa, or another grain, and simmer until done. Add a can of beans, chickpeas, or tomatoes, and simmer until warmed through.
- Puree if desired: Once the vegetables are very soft, you can puree the soup in a blender or with a stick blender if you like. Rewarm gently after blending.
Choose Your Own Soup Adventure: When pureeing the soup, you can add flavor and creaminess by adding beans, tofu, coconut milk, yogurt, or other dairy such as cream, mascarpone, or even cream cheese. Finish the soup with something acid like lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, or fruit vinegar. Or drizzle on a little oil like chili oil, smoked olive oil, or something else a little special.
Recipe Notes
- Storage: The soup should keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Amish: Out of Order
- Network: National Geographic Channel
- Genre: Reality TV
- Release Year: 2012
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Amish: Out of Order is a documentary series featuring ex-Amish members as they assimilate into a mainstream lifestyle, which sometimes includes drinking, swearing, and other iffy behavior. It features some occasional salty vocab ("hell," "ass"; curses like "s--t" are rare and bleeped). Some episodes contain violent elements like slaughtering farm animals for food, mixed martial arts cage fighting, and car accidents. The ex-Amish, some who are teenagers, occasionally drink beer or smoke cigarettes.
User reviews
Parents say
Kids say
What's the story?
AMISH OUT OF ORDER is a documentary series that follows individual ex-Amish members who have chosen to leave their communities and transition into the mainstream world. It features Mose Gingerich, an ex-Amish man known for mentoring ex-Amish community members of all ages who are now adopting an \"English\" way of life. While they enjoy much of what their new lives have to offer, like getting a driver's license and participating in activities like mixed martial arts cage fighting, they also struggle to build lives for themselves without an extensive education, a credit history, or their families for support. While they figure out their place in a new world, non-Amish folks also turn to Gingerich to learn more about their former way of life.
Is it any good?
The series offers a sensitive look at the journeys of people who have chosen to leave their Amish communities for a life that they believe is better suited for them. While these folks don't openly disparage the Amish way of life, they reveal some of their feelings about needing to separate themselves from a community that they characterize as being loving, but overly-strict and narrow-minded.
It's both interesting and voyeuristic, but it offers some interesting insight into the unique challenges the ex-Amish face every day. It is also a show that helps the viewer understand a little bit more about the inner-conflict they experience when they leave everything they know in order to be part of the larger, secular world.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about the history of the Amish in the United States. Why are they called Pennsylvania Dutch? Why do they choose to live without modern conveniences like cars or electricity? What is the meaning behind the clothes they wear?
How does the media portray the Amish? What are some of the stereotypes that exist about Amish people? Why are people so fascinated by the Amish culture?

Columbus High School athlete Derrick Hayes ran the anchor leg for his track team's 4 x 100-meter relay. Last week, he helped win the race that would have qualified his team for the state tournament… but tournament officials said he broke the rules and wouldn't be allowed to move on.
As Hayes crossed the finish line in first, he "put his hand by his ear and just pointed to the heavens," Hayes' father said.
Officials ruled that the gesture violated a state scholastic rule against excessive celebration, which includes raising one's hands. The team was disqualified, and barred from competing at the state championships.

The most sacred holiday celebrated throughout the Wheel of the Year is Samhian. Sometimes referred to as Halloween, Hallows, Hallowmas, or All Hallows Eve - the "hollow" in all of these names comes from the Middle English word that means "holy." The name "Halloween" means "hallowed evening". The traditional Celtic name for this night is Samhian (pronounced something like; 'sow-en'), which may mean "summer's end" or may be named after Samana, an Aryan death god who is the Grim Reaper and leader of the ghosts of our ancestors. The veil between the worlds of the living and the dead is thinnest on this night. Celtic tradition says that all those who die each year must wait till Samhain before crossing into the spirit world where they will begin their new lives. At this moment of crossing, the spirit of ancestors who still have unfinished business in this world may appear. In ancient times, people who feared the presence of hostile spirits would attempt to drive them away with grotesque faces carved on pumpkins lit from within by a candle. Samhian is the time to celebrate the Crone, the wise one, the healer. In modern times, she is represented as the witch flying on a broom with her familiars, the owl and the black cat, across the full moon. In the Demeter/Persephone myth, it is the time when Demeter finds Persephone in the underworld and begins the long journey to bring her back.

Church attendance in Wales per head of population has dropped by half since 1982 according to a new report published by the Bible Society.
A survey of all the congregations in Wales found that half had 25 or fewer people, including children, attending. The majority of the congregations in the country are ageing. The most common size for a Welsh congregation was about 10 people. The proportion of the total Welsh population attending church declined from 14.6 per cent in 1982 to 8.7 per cent in 1995. However, the Church in Wales congregations (Anglicans) report that there has been a slight increase in the size of their congregations in the last five years. The report also found that Churches identifying themselves as Anglo-Catholic or Broad, or Charismatic were growing the most.

It promotes equality more than it rewards mediocrity though. The AFL draft, imo, is the best system in the world. The only slight change with it I would make is making the bottom three teams go in a 'lottery' type thing to see who gets the #1 draft pick, so it shuts out any possible chance of a team 'tanking' because they are guaranteed of a higher pick.
It's not healthy for a team to be at the bottom of the ladder for so long, especially in the AFL where the business models are so heavily reliant on members (I should know, being a NM fan), and members aren't going to cough up their bones to watch a team get pumped week in and week out for years on end. Fitzroy just wasn't feasible in the eyes of the AFL, and they had to go. It was a very sad day.

Valdes ready to start for Spain vs. UruguayBy STEPHEN WADE , Associated Press
Jun. 14, 2013 2:57 PM ET
RECIFE, Brazil (AP) — Victor Valdes says he's ready to play if he's called up as Spain's goalkeeper when the World Cup holders open the Confederations Cup against Uruguay on Sunday. El arquero de España, Víctor Valdés, escucha una pregunta en una rueda de prensa el viernes, 14 de junio de 2013, en Recife, Brasil.(AP Photo/Victor R. Caivano)
It's either Valdes or Iker Casillas, and everything seems to point to the Barcelona keeper. Valdes declined to confirm he'll start, but Casillas would seem an unlikely choice. He has not played a competitive match since breaking his left hand in a game in January. Even after it healed, he was left on the Real Madrid bench by coach Jose Mourinho in what evolved into a soap-opera personality conflict. "I'm not the one to talk about it," Valdes said Friday. "It's the coach who decides who will start. I came here to help and I'm going to try to contribute my little morsel like everyone else. This is our team secret. Everyone giving something." The name of the starting keeper and whether coach Vicente del Bosque will go with a traditional striker — or with an attacking midfielder like Cesc Fabregas — are two questions facing Spain in Group B of the tournament. Spain also faces Tahiti and Nigeria and is a strong favorite to reach the knock-out semifinal round. Valdes played his first match for Spain only three years ago. This pales in comparison to Casillas, who led Spain to two European championships, the 2010 World Cup title in South Africa and has been a starter for a decade at Real Madrid. Valdes answered questions slowly and thoughtfully, peppered with inquiries from Spanish reporters. He said he'd do whatever was needed. "Since I was called up for South Africa (2010) I have felt like the happiest kid on earth," he said. "I had never had the privilege of playing for the team before. Today I still feel the same. I feel privileged to be here, and the most important is to be part of the team and help out as I can." Valdes was asked to describe his interaction with Casillas in practice, and to talk about Casillas' new role with the team — perhaps as a reserve player. "He's the same as always, participating in practice," Valdes said. "He's concerned about the team. He's just like before — terrific. There has been no change and I still see him as very motivated." Spain will be the clear favorite against Uruguay. In February in a friendly in Doha, Spain defeated Uruguay 3-1. "This will be a different match than the one we played a few months ago," Spain midfielder Santi Cazorla said. "They (Uruguay) are a tough team to beat, very competitive. They have (Edinson) Cavani, and (Luis) Suarez and (Diego) Forlan, and they are dangerous in the air." ___ Follow Stephen Wade at http://twitter.com/StephenWadeAP © The Associated Press.

Annunciation to the Shepherds
New Prince, New Pomp
Behold a silly tender Babe,
In freezing winter night,
In homely manger trembling lies
Alas! a piteous sight.
The inns are full, no man will yield
This little Pilgrim bed;
But forced He is with silly beasts
In crib to shroud His head.
Despise Him not for lying there,
First what He is inquire;
An orient pearl is often found
In depth of dirty mire.
Weigh not His crib, His wooden dish,
Nor beasts that by Him feed;
Weigh not His mother's poor attire,
Nor Joseph's simple weed.
This stable is a prince's court,
This crib His chair of state;
The beasts are parcel of His pomp,
The wooden dish His plate.
With joy approach, O Christian Wight!
Do homage to thy King;
And highly praise this humble pomp
Which He from heaven doth bring.

How much does C.S.I.: Miami want you to know it's part of the same franchise that gave us C.S.I.? So much that they'll stick another Who song in the opening credits ("Won't Be Fooled Again"), even if it makes less contextual sense than the first did.
C.S.I. fans already know the crew of Miami/Dade's forensic unit from a test drive ep that was aired last spring (only new figure: Kim Delaney, who we learn had been on personal leave after the death of her husband). The series follows the same arc as its progenitor: show us a crime before the credits, then delineate the painstaking process of gathering evidence. Where most of the action in Vegas appears to take place at night, the new guys get to work in sunshiny day.
Opening case was a plane crash in the everglades: lots of splashing around (this C.S.I. team has a diver on board) for pieces of wreckage and body parts, plus patented computer generated closeups of same. It's okay to brandish severed arms, you see, because this is police work.
The rest of the team has promise, though. Emily Proctor – who once danced to Connie Francis' "Blame It on the Bossa Nova" on The West Wing – communicates the right amount of techie obsessiveness as the unit's ballistic gal, while it's also nice to see Khandi Alexander as a motherly coroner. Delaney is suitably prickly, doing the authority dance with Caruso, though God help us if they try to shoehorn a romance between the two. There are also two young studguys on the team, but on the basis of the premiere they were pretty much interchangeable.
Caine and his team solve the plane crash mystery – which involves a woman getting pushed out of the plane, a seeming bullet hole that appears without the sound of a gunshot, plus two missing black boxes – and boss-man even gets to be suitably consoling with the dead girl's mother. All in a sunny day's work. C.S.I.: Miami may not win any prizes as groundbreaking programming, but, then, the show it's spun off is fairly conservative, too.
As long as it continues to deliver the goods (glossy police procedurals w./ plenty of techno gee-whiz & fair-play clues), I'm likely to continue watching. Powered by Sidelines

Color Mark temporary liquid haircolor - gray roots gone instantly
Easily one of the the worst hair color product I've ever used. It came with a foam covered applicator not unlike an eye shadow applicator; about 1/2" long and less than a 1/4" wide. The applicator barely held enough color to even put the color over one small patch. And I had to keep going over and over the spot to try to get the color to adhere to my hair. Messy? Like you wouldn't b...read moreelieve. And after all of this? It didn't even work. I paid around $21 and change for it and I might have well just taken a match and burned the money myself. Total waste of time, money and effort. If I could give it a zero rating, I would. Next time I'm buying the regular root touch up at Walgreens for under $7 and be done with it. — 7 years, 10 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 3 people said helpful

Jeffrey Toobin: Judges deranged by Obama hatredThis discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Ruby the Liberal (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum). After accusing a federal appellate court panel of throwing a hissy fit about President Barack Obama, outspoken CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin said Thursday that the order requiring the president to explain his beliefs about judicial review was a disgrace and he called some Republican judges deranged by their hatred for the president. I think what these judges have done is a disgrace, Toobin said on CNN. What President Obama said was entirely appropriate. There is nothing wrong, theres nothing controversial. He said, I signed a law that was passed by the democratically elected congress and I think its constitutional. And then these judges give the Justice Department a homework assignment, a three-page letter, single spaced, explaining what the president said, he said. The order from 5th Circuit Judge Jerry E. Smith, a Ronald Reagan-appointee, seemed to be a direct shot at Obamas much-debated comments on Monday in which he said that the Supreme Court would be guilty of an unprecedented act of judicial activism if it strikes down the health care reform law.

1. The hatred extends to all levels.
Much of it is coming out now because of the realization that Obama has already won a second term and he's not likely to be as cooperative as he was in his first.

6. That's exactly what I believe.
He's going to be one tough President when he wins his second term, and it's encumbant upon us to ensure he gets a Congress that will cooperate with him.
We need to throw the Republicans out as much as we can, at least to the point when they don't have the power to go against everything he's fighting for. Dissent is admirable, but what we've witnessed by the Republicans in the past 3 1/2 years is not dissent by any stretch of the imagination. |

10. This is One of those Cases
Where when Obama, or anyone for that matter, tells the truth about Republicans, SC or not, they get pissed. Alan Grayson had the same problem.
Judges were never meant to "overturn" by judicial mandate, decisions made by huge majorities, with compromises and negotiation with a very radical right to even make it happen. At some point (Marbury v. Madison, was it?) they just seized that power, which is found nowhere in the constitution. |

this is why clinton orderd all fedrarl judges to step down when he was elected . I am under the impression that the repugs feel that "they" only own the White house. period and the repugs get really angry when a democratic president intrrupts their right to succession, esp: a black man( yes the race card and i am getting tired of that w those people .)

13. My dh and I are retired lawyers.
He saw the tail end of this on the news, and asked me "is this some moron from a small court in a small town?" We thought it was simply embarrassing and utterly simple minded of this judge to say what we heard him saying - an example of how simpleton haters are infesting society at all levels now, in all professions including our former profession.
Now I get to break the news to him it is the 5th circuit. Haven't seen it this out of control since I was a younger person in the 60s. Seriously. ' And I say - fine, bring it on. I am not going back in time and live full-time in the kind of world these people want to bring back. Not. going.to.happen.without.a.fight. There isn't anything else I can see to do, other than to keep pushing for my world view to take dominance over theirs. Yes, its America, and there is a place for everyone here, but I don't want these kind of thinkers driving the car. |

18. Here's the take-home message
"Meanwhile, Toobin on Thursday also chipped away at the meaningless line between law and politics.
He said he had devoted his career to trying prove that the line between law and politics is essentially nonexistent when it comes to cases related to divisive issues such as abortion and affirmative action. These are essentially political decisions being made by individuals who wear black robes, he said. I think the more we recognize that and the more we eliminate this artificial line this sort of idealistic but really meaningless line between law and politics the better because thats the way I think the world works. ****************** This is absolutely true. Political scientists have regarded the idea of an apolitical judicial system as empirically falsified for a decade. Justices and judges rule based on ideology, not some abstract legal principle--in fact, conservatives have substituted ideology for neutral legal and constitutional principles and renamed it "originalism" and "judicial restraint," when the truth is that they are the most activist this country has ever seen. And yet, here at DU, we see folks, often lawyers, arguing for example that the PPACA has to be upheld because it comports with long-established precedent. And yet there was no precedent for the court to stop the counting of votes in Bush v. Gore, for example, and they did it anyway. A court that can overturn a democratic process can certainly not be constrained by stare decisis or any other such thing, especially since they can make it up as they go along. Sure, it sounds like arguments about facts and ideas. Yes, the court issues opinions and asks questions that seem to be related to legal arguments. It's all kabuki. They make up their minds, and slap on a rationalization after the fact. I imagine one day they may even do away with this pretense. |

Booz Allen biggest 4-month stock fall after its employee Snowden leak
Stock of the firm based in McLean, Virginia had its biggest fall in New York since January 30, according to Bloomberg.
Three months ago the company hired 29-year-old Edward Snowden to fill a position in Hawaii. On Sunday he revealed the US National Security Agency's Prism programme had direct access to the systems of Google, Facebook, Apple as well as other internet giants. Snowden had been working for NSA for the past four years for various outside contractors. Previously he worked in information technology during a stint at the CIA.
As the US government provides for about 99% of revenue for Virginia-based firm, Booz Allen is now struggling to distance itself from its employee.
"News reports that this individual has claimed to have leaked classified information are shocking, and if accurate, this action represents a grave violation of the code of conduct and core values of our firm," Booz Allen said in a statement issued Sunday night.
In 2012 the publicly – traded Booz Allen won government contracts worth more than $4 billion, the US government data said. Its long – term contracts were estimated at $11.8 billion as of the end of March.
Given such a strong financial dependence on the Government, the shocking revelation can now deeply eat into the firm's bottom line.
"If our relationships with such [U.S. government] agencies are harmed, our future revenue and operating profits would decline," Booz Allen said in a filing.
Snowden said he came forward to make people open their eyes and protect them from the government's invasion of privacy. "I really want the focus to be on these documents and the debate which I hope this will trigger among citizens around the globe about what kind of world we want to live in. My sole motive is to inform the public as to that which is done in their name and that which is done against them," the Guardian quotes Edward Snowden as saying.

Half of a mile is 2,640 feet.
That's how far builders of wind energy projects will have to stay away from homes and other occupied buildings in Tooele County.
Tooele County Commissioners adopted a large wind energy project ordinance at their Tuesday night meeting.
Their approval of the ordinance is the culmination of a five-month process that began in April. That was when the Tooele County Planning Department was approached by Sandy-based Energy of Utah, which wants to build a windmill farm in Tooele County.
The ordinance as adopted by the commissioners discarded the planning commission's recommendation of a five-mile buffer zone and replaced it with a smaller half-mile buffer zone.
County planning staff and Energy of Utah recommended a buffer zone of two times the distance from the ground to the tip of the blade of a windmill at its highest point.
With a maximum blade height of 600 feet in the ordinance, the buffer zone would be no larger than 1,200 feet.
A survey of other windmill ordinances in Utah and other states revealed a buffer zone closer to 1,200 feet than the proposed five miles, according to county planning staff.
County Commissioner Jerry Hurst made the motion to adopt a half-mile as the buffer zone.
"Five miles is way too much," he said. "And two times the tip height is too short."
Commissioner Shawn Milne preferred 1,200 feet. He proposed a compromise at 2,000 feet, but none of his fellow commissioners supported it.
The commission voted 2-1 to approve the ordinance with the half-mile buffer zone.
Residents of the Rawhide subdivision, where Energy of Utah proposed to build windmills along the Stockton Banear homes at Rawhide, are not be happy with the commissioners' decision, even though it means any windmills will need to be placed north of the Stockton bar from Rawhide.
"A half mile is still too close," said Thomas Karjola, a Rawhide resident. "We have submitted to the planning commission and the commissioners plenty of research that shows that even within a half-mile there are health and noise problems, and a loss in property values. These things are huge and people just don't want to live by them."
Karjola preferred the five-mile buffer recommended by the planning commission but indicated that a mile and one-quarter may have been an acceptable compromise.
"Now the commissioners are going to be subject to lawsuits either way," said Karjola. "If they force developers to build a half-mile out, the developers will probably sue. If they approve a project at half-mile, it will cause health problems and lower property values and property owners will sue."
