We travelled through five states to arrive at our destination 13 hours later! Lansing Michigan is the capital city of the state of Michigan where Bruce's family lives. We passed through some interesting towns and countryside. As you probably have guessed, I have been very taken by the style of homes here. Some of the main ones being Victorian, Queen Ann and Craftsman/bungalow style, which I particularly love. It's quite a contrast to NZ. Below are some examples on our first stop, the quaint town of Middletown in the state of Maryland.
As we travelled on we were looking for a rest stop to eat our lunch, but I soon learned that rest spots as we know them in NZ are few and far between. We ended up settling for a grassy area next to one of the many antique shops along the way. No bench of course so we improvised and had a very healthy lunch at least.
Being that we still had a long way to go, we left the small country roads and jumped onto the turnpike (toll roads) to speed things up. On these main routes one finds "rest stops" that seemed to me to be more like airports! But there was no time to waste as we made a bee-line for Starbucks for a final brew before driving the last leg. We drove off into the sunset. . . this is obviously the last photo of the day. We arrived in Lansing around 11.30 pm.
I'll sign off here. In my next post I will give you a taste of Lansing. Otherwise, it's good night from me…. this is Melva, reporting live, from Michigan. love M

GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney will hit President Obama during their foreign policy debate with the ancient political zinger, what did he know and when did he know it about Libya. The GOP's attack line is that Obama botched the response to the terror attack on the American embassy in Libya in part to protect his claim that he destroyed Al-Qaeda, and in greater part to mask his alleged rudderless, muddled Middle East policy.
None of this holds water. Obama vigorously condemned the Embassy attack as an act of terror. As any responsible president would do, he made no saber rattling statements about the attack until all of the intelligence reports conclusively pointed to a systematic, planned attack, and identified who the likely attackers were. The final report found that the attack was not masterminded by al-Qaeda, and indeed found no verifiable link to the group at all.
But the Libyan hit on Obama is only a part of a larger GOP strategy. That's to try again to sully Obama as weak, vacillating, and too conciliatory to America's enemies in the Middle East and elsewhere. The GOP attack is not new.
For three decades before the 2008 election the GOP reveled in the monopoly that it had with the public as the tough, take no prisoners, guardian of America's foreign policy and national security. It touted America's unchallenged military arsenal, its crushing military budget, and the unabashed willingness to play the role of global policeman. Much of the public bought into this masterful deception of Democratic presidents as weak, indecisive, and always willing to compromise America's security and cede the upper hand to America's enemies.
GOP presidents Reagan, Bush Sr., and especially George W. Bush in 2004 in his reelection fight with Democratic presidential foe Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, used this ploy against their Democratic opponents. GOP presidential rival John McCain was a big beneficiary of this tact. During the 2008 presidential election, he consistently got far higher poll marks than then Democratic challenger Obama on his handling of foreign policy, national security, and especially toughness in the war against terrorism.
It seemed easy at the time to make the charge that Obama was a greenhorn on foreign policy and national security issues since he had no real experience in that arena. But appearances were grossly misleading, Obama had laid out detailed plans on how to deal with the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, Middle East policy matters, the European allies, the Russians on disarmament issues, and China's growing economic and military threat.
Obama had to do two added things to dispel the notion that he would fall apart the first time he was hit with a major foreign policy crisis. One pained many liberal and progressive supporters. And that was to embrace some aspects of Bush's foreign and national security policy positions which entailed reauthorizing virtually all the provisions of the Patriot Act, delaying the close of Guantanamo, pressing the war in Afghanistan, giving firm and vocal support of Israel, and as tough a stance as possible on Iran's looming nuclear capacity. At the same time, he had to balance this with his public pledge to end the failed, flawed, and unpopular Iraq war. That, and the killing of Osama Bin Laden, the attack on the Somali pirates, and the tough prosecution of the Afghan war, was more than enough to dispel the public's doubts about his resolve on foreign policy and national security.
The second thing that Obama had to do was to try and effect a reproachment with the Muslim world, increasingly turbulent, instable, and volatile. At the same time, he could not appear to kowtow to Islamic extremists.
This juggling act would pose a nerve racking challenge to any GOP or Democrat occupant of the Oval Office. The tight walk demanded that a president be flexible, deft, and attuned to fast changing conditions and players in the Middle East.
Obama's foreign policy successes forced GOP leaders into pained puzzlement. Here was a Democratic president that got results in the war against terrorism, and more galling consistently got high marks from European, Chinese and Russian leaders for his tact and diplomacy. The Libyan embassy attack was just the hook that the GOP was desperately looking for to hammer Obama with the charge that his as foreign policy initiatives were adrift, and who was setting America up for a fall. Romney, of course, will endlessly repeat this mantra on Obama's foreign policy. Obama's stout rejoinder and defense won't stop the drum beat GOP finger point at him for his alleged muddle and supposed deceit on the Libyan embassy tragedy. Fortunately, Obama has scored too many triumphs for the GOP's Libya hit on him to have any chance of bruising him.

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - "There's a famous story about Billy Wilder," Nancy Meyers recalls of the days when Wilder was a screenwriter but had not yet become a director. "He wrote a (scene) where a man was having a bowl of soup, and his tie fell into the soup."
Wilder went to the set, only to discover that the scene had changed: The man was no longer wearing a tie, but rather a bowtie — an object somewhat unlikely to fall into a bowl of soup.
"That was the moment he decided he needed to direct," quips Meyers.
When the age of the Hollywood auteur hit its stride in the 1970s and an explosion of talent wanted to do it the Wilder way, filmmakers like Woody Allen, Francis Ford Coppola and Brian De Palma chose to shoot their own screenplays with a minimum of outside interference — in contrast to the Hollywood heyday of the factory system, when the two tasks were poles apart. These heavyweights set the stage for contemporary auteurs like Wes Anderson and Quentin Tarantino, and while the level of freedom may not be the same as it was in the anything-goes '70s, the advantages remain.
Not every writer wants to direct, but those who do both jobs relish the challenge. How they handle that challenge, however, differs greatly from one filmmaker to another.
Writer-director Scott Cooper thought of those '70s filmmakers when he came to make "Crazy Heart."
"I never attended film school, so what I did was watch films from the 1970s," he says. "I would watch them with the sound off, so I could watch how Terrence Malick or Peter Bogdanovich or Hal Ashby would tell stories with just the frame, the characterization, the lens, and see how they would move the camera and tell the story. That was my autodidactic film school experience."
Despite this being his first time behind the camera, Cooper had a clear vision for the film that was informed by his work as an actor.
"It was all about behavior for me," he says. "So I approached it clearly as a writer, but also as an actor, and then, to give it the visual flair it needed, as a director. But I wanted the film, much like the great films of the '70s, to feel as though it were invisibly directed and edited, so that I wasn't flashy, so that I wasn't saying, 'Wow, watch how clever I am and how I move the camera.'"
That said, Cooper admits to exerting the kind of far-reaching control that comes with directing your own script: "I knew exactly what I wanted every moment. I knew the crease I wanted in (Jeff Bridges') pants; I knew the production design."
Meyers, too, exerts tremendous control over her projects. Yet she steadfastly refuses to make changes to the script once shooting is under way.
"I like the script to be locked well, well, well in advance," she says. "I spend a lot of time on the screenplay and get it in what I hope is shooting shape before I even give it to the actors. Sometimes there's little word changes; you obviously have to accommodate things (such as) a set that didn't work out. Those kinds of normal technical things I do change, but I do not really rewrite once I begin shooting."
The "It's Complicated" filmmaker, who spent 16 years as a writer-producer before shifting to directing, says her screenplays have always been "laid out very carefully in terms of what the expectations were and how (they) would look" because, as the screenwriter, she "can't help but think about how they would be staged."
"You can answer all the questions," she adds. "You understand what it's about and why the scene's in the movie, because you thought so much about it when you were writing it."
Like Meyers, Anderson normally avoids rewriting during the shooting process, but that changed once he began working on his first animated feature, a rollicking stop-motion adaptation of Roald Dahl's "Fantastic Mr. Fox."
"With an animated movie, the process is much slower," he says. "You edit the movie together with storyboards, and then you can watch the whole movie with recordings and drawings, so you can then start rewriting; you're rewriting a cut of the movie." On "Fox," for instance, he added the entire "whack-bat" concept — a sport at which Mr. Fox excels but his son doesn't — about six months into production.
Another aspect of the process that differed from the norm was Anderson's decision to do the bulk of the writing at Dahl's house (along with co-writer Noah Baumbach). This offered Anderson the writer an opportunity to hew closely to Dahl's unique world, and also allowed Anderson the director to do some early location scouting.
"I had a thought that maybe we could start writing it at Dahl's house, Gipsy House, in England," Anderson recalls. "And that's where we set to work, and it was actually very inspiring working there because our goal was to try to make the movie as much like Dahl as we could. That's where he'd written it but also where he'd set it."
When Tarantino sat down to write the first draft of "Inglourious Basterds," his audacious, blood-soaked World War II epic, the most exciting part was a task every writer must confront.
"Part of the (challenge) is facing the blank page," he says. "And then when it's all over, there's a movie, where at one point it was just a blank piece of paper."
For Tarantino one of the greatest advantages to writing his own scripts occurs in the casting stage. As the creator of the characters, he says he feels an obligation to do whatever it takes to match the actor to the role and not the other way around. It's that kind of intimate understanding of the characters, he says, that leads to a relatively obscure actor like Christoph Waltz eventually garnering raves for playing the ruthless Nazi Hans Landa.
"One of the things that's just a big thing about me being a writer-director, where they're married the most," Tarantino notes, "is, as a writer, one of the most important things I do is create these characters. And at the end of the day my obligation is to treat these characters with integrity, because I've created them."
He adds, "One of the things that I've learned is that you just always have to stay with your characters when it comes to casting. Your job isn't to get excited by a sexy actor that walks in the room and then you change the character to fit this sexy find that you have. Your job is to take care of the character, find the right actor to play them to make that character just the way you wrote it come alive on the page."
While Tarantino says he doesn't show anyone the script during the writing stage, he has developed a unique method for "finding the bad notes," as he puts it.
"People never read it until I'm done. When I hand it out, it's done. But what I do is I'll read people scenes, usually because I've just finished writing and I'm excited and I call somebody or somebody comes over — 'I have a new victim! I can read them something!' And I'll do that all throughout the course of writing the script, just constantly read scenes out of context to people. And when I'm doing it I'm not really doing it even to get their comments; I'm doing it to hear it through their ears. I write it, and then I read it out loud, and then I (think), 'Sounds good, sounds cool.'"
Fashion designer Tom Ford didn't initially know he wanted to write his feature directorial debut, an adaptation of Christopher Isherwood's novel "A Single Man." But he knew which parts of the book spoke to him and which ones he wanted to emphasize. "If you have a story you want to tell," he says, "it (seemed) natural to me to be very direct in how I wanted to tell it."
While Ford made just two small line alterations during shooting, he did make one major change to the script by adding a voice-over, written after the film was finished.
"It needed the punctuation," he says. "Because the book is an entire internal monologue, I tried desperately not to use any voice-over and to create, in a sense, a silent film where the action would tell the story and then layer on dialogue. But at the end of the film, I realized that I needed a voice-over to set the film up and to really drive home at the end what the message was."
Given that this was his first foray into writing and directing, Ford says he willingly blurred the line between the two disciplines during the writing process.
"I broke all sorts of screenwriting rules," he says. "Since I was directing it, I wrote often even in a shot-by-shot fashion, meaning in the screenplay, it says, 'We start on the ceiling, we're looking at George, we push in, we become intimate with his face.'" Ford visualized the scenes as he wrote them and kept binders of images for each character. "There's a shot in the film of a family in a bomb shelter, and I took it right from the cover of Life magazine 1962."
Did the double task of writing and directing overwhelm him?
"Oh, I loved it," he declares. "I would come home from the office and write a couple of hours every day in the way that other people would run home and read a book. I couldn't wait to get home to rework a scene, or if I thought of something during the day. If I had a holiday, I would write the entire time, and then other times I would have to put it aside for two or three weeks because I just couldn't figure something out and I would just have to sit with it and kind of let it come to me. I absolutely loved it."

Kingston, Ontario – the old garrison town and naval port and one-time capital of the United Canadas – has recorded a hockey heritage as rich as its multi-splendored social history. Originally named "Cataraqui" – a tribute to its native and French beginnings – and renamed King's Town after British occupation, the city has been pivotal in the early development and expansion of the game throughout Canada and the United States.
The city's hockey history has been inextricably interwoven with the progress and celebration of Canada's national winter game. This unique characteristic stems from two of its major institutions, Queen's University at Kingston and the Royal Military College of Canada, which seized on the game pioneered in eastern Canada and helped to spread it through Ontario and across the North American continent.
Queen's men and gentlemen cadets played a key role in the formation of the Ontario Hockey Association that became the forerunner of hockey administrations. Queen's was the first university in Canada to build its own covered rink on campus and introduced artificial ice in the mid-1920s, at a time when only large cities could afford such a facility. Despite McGill University's connection with the development of hockey in the 1870s, the first institution to challenge for the Stanley Cup was Queen's in 1895, and its tricolored squads made a total of three bids in the era of amateur Cup competition.
Kingstonians played a critical administrative role in the development of the game's rules and regulations. Queen's players were among the first to welcome touring ice polo players from the United States and to introduce the Canadian game to such cities as Pittsburgh, Washington and Baltimore in the 1890s. Kingston teams were also in demand for exhibition games from Detroit and Cleveland to Boston and New York. Kingston players — from Hall of Famers Marty Walsh and Bill Cook to Wayne Cashman and Doug Gilmour — have spread the city's name and enhanced its reputation throughout the National Hockey League and the world.
Appropriately for a community located at the confluence of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River, Kingston's present Ontario Hockey League franchise, the Frontenacs — a name first used by a Kingston team in 1897 — proudly displays a K-wheel crest similar to the main logo of the NHL Boston Bruins — the Hub City of Boston, Massachusetts. Kingston is "the hub of hockey" if not its home.
Situated halfway between Canada's two major hockey cities, Montreal and Toronto, linked by waterways to Canada's capital of Ottawa and to American ports, "the Limestone City" has been at the center of the century-old debate on the origins of the game since day one. The controversy started in 1903 when that fractious phrase "the birthplace of hockey" first appeared in a Kingston newspaper.
This claim was refuted by a Kingstonian, A.B. Cunningham, who played in the 1888 game between Queen's and RMC teams. Speaking at a 1903 banquet saluting one of Kingston's Ontario Hockey Association championship teams, the young lawyer credited the game's organized introduction to Montreal a decade earlier. But the Kingston nativity myth grew and flourishes to this day.
The keystone of hockey's arch, locally and nationally, is not the highly visible and voluble Kingston-booster and broadcaster Donald Stewart Cherry (incidentally the only Kingstonian selected for Canada's 100 most influential citizens), but a venerable gentleman and hockey pioneer he reveres to this day, James Thomas Sutherland, the only Kingston-born citizen featured in the Canadian Encyclopedia of 1985. Creator of the 1903 birthplace report, Jim Sutherland was hockey's "legendmaker." He was a boy when the first organized game was played indoors in Montreal in 1875 and a teenager when the first report was published of a seven-aside game played on Kingston's harbor ice in 1886. But his memoirs erroneously claim he played in that historic game with a bandstand located at center ice.
A pioneer player and coach of champions, Jim Sutherland was a benchmark in the days before there was a bench — all seven players being on the ice. With booming voice, he pioneered the use of a megaphone to spur on his players and introduced preseason physical training to his amateur teams. A leading administrator in Ontario and Canadian hockey organizations during the 1910s and 1920s, he proposed four 15-minute periods for junior players and recommended rubberized goal posts to help eliminate injuries. Although a consummate amateur hockey advocate, he urged the reinstatement of professionals into amateur hockey and proposed a trophy in memory of players killed in the World War I — which became the OHA Memorial Cup for the Canadian junior championship.
Off the ice, the affable gentleman was a traveling shoe salesman and a hockey raconteur par excellence. He earned and retained the army rank of captain during World War I and with military determination kept the "hockey birthplace" pot boiling wherever he went. Immediately after the war, during which Capt. Sutherland served in Canada and England, the question "Where did the game start?" resurfaced. Prompting the debate was the publication of the first illustrated book on the game in 1924. Entitled Canadian Hockey Year Book, compiled by Joe King of Toronto, later of Kingston, it featured an article by Capt. Sutherland which stated: "I think it is generally admitted and has been substantially proven on many occasions that the actual birthplace of organized hockey is the City of Kingston in 1888." He offered little or no evidence in support of his argument, a feature which has bedeviled most arguments on hockey's birthplace.
The debate became international when one of Capt. Sutherland's local articles promoting Kingston as the "home of hockey" was republished in a 1927 New York Ranger program. His zeal and boundless enthusiasm kept Kingston in the forefront of the hot stove league discussion by authoring a 1929 article: "Who put hockey on the map?" and crediting noted Toronto and Montreal newspaper editors and columnists, who became his unswerving friends and supporters.
American sportswriter Frank G. Menke, who attempted to unravel the mystery of hockey's origin, entered the discussion that year by contending the Canadian game derived from the Indian game of lacrosse. His first All Sports Record Book, while light on details of early hockey history, did introduce the claims of Montreal and Nova Scotia into the debate. Montreal, headed by McGill University officials, entered the verbal fray in 1930. Assistant physical education director F.M. Wagner, in a later letter to Capt. Sutherland wrote: "You will note that there is no claim here that the game was invented by anyone at McGill but we did find detailed descriptions of the game as played at McGill several years before hockey was originated in the opinion of many people at that time."
Dr. A.S. Lamb, director of physical education, recruited assistants Van Wagner and E.M. Orlick "in an effort to ferret out the secret of the beginning of ice hockey." Their findings not only documented the first games, with names of players, referees and goal judges, positions and early rules, but defined the introduction of pucks and flat-bladed sticks distinctive from the ball and short stick of shinny and field hockey.
Sutherland, now anointed by the press as "the father of organized hockey," fired back: "Kingston really is the home of hockey. A rink was formed on the ice in the harbor in front of Tete du Pont Barracks (now Fort Frontenac)." He conceded that "exhibition games" were played in Montreal but stuck to his contention that Kingston played the first organized games. Again he offered no strong evidence, relying on descriptions from a 19th century diary.
Throughout the Depression the controversy simmered. Men who played in the Montreal games of the late 1870s and early 1880s spoke up. Halifax newspapers joined the battle. Kingston sportswriters came through with a profound statement but stuck with the local legendmaker: "It is doubtful if the question of hockey origin will ever be settled to the satisfaction of everyone, but pending definite proof, we intend to string along with James T. [Sutherland]."
Kingston's claim continued to gain support from friends east and west of the city. Toronto newspaperman and OHA czar W.A. "Billy" Hewitt wrote in a 1937 Maple Leaf Gardens' program: "Kingston has generally been regarded in Canada as the birthplace of hockey and Capt. James Sutherland as the 'father of the game,' because of his long and sustained interest in the sport and the marvelous enthusiasm he has exhibited through the years." William J. Walshe, former Toronto sports columnist, after joining the Kingston Whig-Standard, cited Sutherland's ambition "to definitely establish Kingston as the home of organized hockey."
"Old-time hockey, like baseball," chimed in Montreal Star columnist Baz O'Meara, "suffers from the lack of authoritative history. There is too much obscurity about its beginnings, too little known of its early history, its great games, great personalities of the past. There are too few writers who have long experience in the sport. Too few old-time officials now active in the game, who can give it historical authority."
Ironically, baseball was instrumental in initiating a formal debate on hockey's origin. Capt. Sutherland, who had been watching with special interest the opening of the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York in 1939, seized the opportunity for hockey. In 1941, in the midst of the Second World War, he proposed to the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association, an organization he served for 40 years, that a study be made on the origin of hockey. The project soon became a movement to form a hockey hall of fame.
"If such a memorial is to be put on something of an enduring foundation it should be built and maintained in Montreal," wrote O'Meara. Kingston's daily responded: "Historic Kingston would be an ideal location for the shrine of the puck sport. There is a good chance the Kingston bid will be successful. A hall of fame would be lost in a large metropolis like Montreal."
Sutherland and Hewitt, plus George Slater, President of the Quebec Senior Hockey League, were named to the study committee and the race was on. Authored by Capt. Sutherland, with cursory glances from the other two members, the CAHA's report, The Origin of Hockey in Canada was blatantly pro-Kingston and provoked a storm of protest, mainly from Montreal.
"This document is a conglomeration of contradictions and unsubstantiated statements," wrote E.M. Orlick in the McGill News. "It contains many dogmatic assertions and conclusions, but little, or nothing in the way of authentic first-source facts. It is not a report of an investigation on the origin of ice hockey, it is a poorly camouflaged presentation of the Kingston claims."
The Kingston claims proved to be successful, as on September 10-11, 1943 the NHL and the CAHA selected Kingston "as the most central site to erect a hall of fame as a memorial dedicated to perpetuate the memories of men who have done so much to develop national and internationally Canada's great winter sport — hockey."
In the 1940s, Capt. Sutherland basically ignored the Montreal claims, which were well documented with next-day newspaper reports and reminiscences of players from the early games. In his private papers, still folded in the original envelope, is the detailed presentation of McGill, with names dates and scores supporting the Montreal claim.
Kingston columnist Walshe said Kingston's selection was based mostly on account of its location for visitors. "The idea of the Hall of Fame is to perpetuate the memory of great stars and leaders of the game, not to honor any special place as the scene of the first game. Museums are established not where relics are found, but in places where they may be seen, studied or respected by the greatest numbers." Capt. Sutherland summed it up simply: "The City of Kingston was chosen as the site regardless as to where the first puck was shot."
Even following Kingston's selection as the hall of fame site, McGill Professor E.M. Orlick condemned Kingston's presentation as a "hoax" and maintained that the Ontario city had not "the slightest shred of an historical claim ... to the origin of ice hockey." Unfortunately, this argument doesn't quite stand up to later research and discoveries.
The Kingston claim was based mainly on the 1846-47 diary entry of the father of local historian Edwin Horsey, who wrote: "Most of the boys were quite at home on skates. They could cut the figure eight but 'shinny' was their delight." In the CAHA report written by Sutherland, someone with knowledge of Kingston as a garrison town had inserted "soldier" before boys and "great" before delight.
In 1843, a British army officer Arthur H. Freeling, stationed in Kingston wrote in his diary: "Began to skate this year, improved quickly and had great fun at hockey on the ice." To an amateur historian, this quotation seems to be a solid indication that skaters played a stick-ball game on ice in Kingston — 32 years before the first organized game in Montreal. But in the view of Norman Anick, a historian for Canada's National Historic Sites and Monuments Board, this diary notation is ambiguous. "It does not specifically state that hockey on the ice was played by skaters, only that Freeling learned to skate and played hockey on the ice, with or without skates we are not informed."
Similar evidence of earlier stick-ball activity is recorded in the Kingston Chronicle and Gazette of the Scottish game of shinty being played on Kingston harbor ice for the second consecutive year on New Year's Day, 1840: "At the appointed hour about 300 persons, including spectators, assembled on the ice in front of the town... The ball was flung up in the air between the two adverse chieftains as the signal to commence hostilities. A most vigorous contest was begun and maintained nearly three hours with unabated energy." Again no mention of skates is made.
At Montreal in 1842, shinty players were prevented by law from playing their recreational game on city streets, but the Halifax-Dartmouth area, with a myriad of lakes and bays, had long recorded people playing a similar game under a number of different names. In 1831 townsfolk and the military were reported in the Halifax press as playing "the spirit-stirring game of wicket" on the North West Arm.
By 1842 the game played on the Dartmouth lakes was called "ricket" and in 1859 the Boston Evening Gazette proclaimed the Nova Scotia game — "with skates on feet and hurleys or hockey (sticks) in hand" — as the most exciting game played on ice. "Whenever the ball is put through the ricket (a goal marked by two paving stones) a shout 'Game, ho!' resounds from shore to shore and dies away in a hundred echoes through the hills."
This freewheeling game, which was played in the Halifax area by 10, 15 or 20 players aside, was still called "ricket" by Haligonians as late as 1875, the year that Montrealers moved 'hockey' indoors, restricted the number of players (to nine), assigned a referee to enforce a no-forward passing rule and goal judges to determine the scores.
One of the captains of the two nine-man teams that played that historic game in Montreal's Victoria Skating Rink on March 3, 1875 and subsequent games, was Halifax-native James George Aylwin Creighton. Maritimers put great credit in the claim that he introduced "the Halifax rules" to Montreal, but newspaper reports indicate that the first games of the 1870s were played under "The Hockey Association" code as written for field hockey in 1875. In fact, Captain Creighton was cited for playing offside (ahead of the puck carrier), a style permitted in Halifax but not in Montreal.
The Montreal-Halifax games clashed in 1889, when the Dartmouth Chebuctos played four games in Montreal and Quebec City. The hosts predominated in all games whether played under the restricted passing game of Montreal or the wide-open, shinny-like Halifax regulations. Thereafter, Nova Scotia teams adopted the Montreal rules and the Halifax rules were forgotten.
As Halifax-born author J. Macdonald Oxley wrote in an 1891 magazine report on rink hockey: "As first played in Canada hockey went by various names, some of which were apparently merely local — hurley, shinny, rickets, and so forth — there was not much pretense to rules, each player taking part as best he knew how. No effort toward systematizing the game appears to have been made until the year 1875."
The centennial of organized hockey in 1975 was not celebrated in any way in the true birthplace of the organized sport — Montreal. McGill University did not display any interest in commemorating that first indoor game, but in recent years Montreal hockey historians have seized on their historic connections and taken the debate to that brash upstart — Windsor, N.S. — where the first recorded reference to "hockey" was in 1888 when King's College school team played a game against the Ramblers on Dartmouth Lakes.
Today only one city — Kingston — celebrates the game's roots in a formal and continuous way. The original local game was first commemorated at the opening of Kingston's first artificial ice rink in 1924 and Capt. Sutherland was involved in 1948 when the early military shinny game was re-enacted on Kingston harbor and captured in the first promotional hockey film ever shot.
The International Hockey Museum, once the sport's original hall of fame, has marked the first Kingston harbor game since the 1960s. Queen's and RMC, plus 2nd Regiment, Royal Canadian Horse Artillery, representing the garrison soldiers who first played a form of the game, compete for the Historic Hockey Trophy. Seven-man teams wearing toques and turtlenecks, use short field hockey sticks to propel a square puck between uprights frozen in the ice in front of historic Kingston City Hall. And according to the rules first developed and printed in Montreal, the centers faced the sides of the rink as in lacrosse, forward passing was prohibited and goaltenders were barred from lying, kneeling or sitting in making a stop.
And since 1986, Queen's and RMC varsity teams meet in the Carr-Harris Cup game, representing the longest rivalry between two hockey teams in the world — 112 years by 1998 — and counting. And just for good measure, Kingston is home every second year to the longest-running international hockey series. The Black Knights of the United States Military Academy of West Point, New York and the Paladins (formerly Redmen) of RMC meet amidst pomp, pageantry and bodychecks in a game that tops the intensity and personal importance of Stanley Cup games or the Army-Navy football game. It's war on ice!
The record of the spirited games played by the two military institutions is inscribed annually on illuminated boards in RMC's hallowed halls and also in the International Hockey Museum. The latter, a mythical institution until the International Hockey Hall of Fame was built in 1961 (the year the NHL opened its own shrine in Toronto) reflects the heritage of the game in Kingston and Canada.
One of the first communities to organize and promote boys' hockey, Kingston was the appropriate choice for the first Canadian midget championship tournament involving teams from 10 provinces and two territories in Canada's centennial year, 1967. And women's hockey, played here in 1894, has produced notable stars from Marguerite Carr-Harris and Katherine "Cookie" Cartwright to Jayna Hefford of the 1998 Canadian Olympic team.
Kingston has named its youth center arenas after local hockey champions — Jock Harty, Wally Elmer and the Cook Brothers, Bill and Bun of Ranger fame. And the late Gus Marker, a journeyman hockey player but a millionaire developer, named three streets after his favorite hockey people, Lionel Conacher, Howie Morenz and Capt. Sutherland.
The Kingston heritage runs deep. In an ornate case that once displayed jewelry is displayed the tricolor striped sweater of legendary captain Guy Curtis, who captained Queen's in two Stanley Cup series (in 1895 and 1899) and retired after a record 10-year career in university hockey. At Queen's Athletic Centre is the octagonal sided puck — looking much like a lump of coal — that was used in the first Kingston match in 1886. Alongside is the field hockey-type stick from the 1888 Queen's-RMC game. And front and center is an open 1893 magazine with a Montreal writer's comment that was ignored by Capt. Sutherland but eventually killed his birthplace dream: "Hockey skated up into Ontario from the Province of Quebec. It was quite old before it left home. ... Its earliest stopping of importance seems to have been at Kingston (in the winter of) 1885-1886."
Kingston may not have been the place where hockey, as we know it, was born, but more than any other city in the world, it has done more to commemorate and celebrate hockey's early development.

When I pulled the blouse from my closet I had originally thought of doing a Tim Burton themed dress, but as I plan on donating it to Dress A Girl Around The World and I didn't want to scare little the little gals that may not understand the reference so I decided to decorate with a cheery flower instead.
This size 4-6 slim girls dress was made using a free pattern and instructions by Dana from "Made" using a women's size 10 blouse, around 1/3 yd of contrasting fabric, green ribbon and a sequin embellishment.
The only variations on this dress is I added I cut two pieces for the front and the back that were 3 inches tall and the width of the top of the pattern and stitched it to the dress to thread the drawstring through to make it easier to adjust and added a flower embellishment on one side.
Items used:
- Free pattern and instructions from Dana from "Made"
- Women's blouse (I used a size 10)
- 2 pieces of fabric 2 1/2 inches by 26 inch fabric for bow
- 2 pieces of fabric to sew to the top of the dress
- Printer and paper
- Black fabric paint
- Scissors
- Iron
- Sewing machine and matching thread
- Straight pins
I then cut two six inch pieces of ribbon and another around 10 inches. I folded the two six inch pieces in half and pinned them to the back of the long piece to represent leaves and pinned the top piece underneath the flower and zigzagged the stem piece down.
I then finished zigzagging the bottom of the flower down.
For the embellishment in center I used a sequined start I had gotten in a notions grab bag from Michael's and stitched in down using the machine, but a button could be used instead.
I also top stitched near the buttons to keep them closed (they are more for decorative purposes now).
As indicated above, sewed the 3 inch tall pieces (pink polka dotted) to the front and the back using 1/2 inch seams, pressed under 1/2 inch and then top stitched down.
Right sides together, I stitched the sides then stitched the long bow piece together and used a safety pin to thread through the shoulder on one side then tie in a bow on the other side.

Well, Admin forbids self-promotion here. And when DONegal posts an item regarding raDON gas, that sounds like self-promotion to me. slaplaughAnyway, so now NG causes cancer? What next!!
Do have your home checked for radon. Geology around here has it, and your basement is apt to have detectable amount. Ventilation is the answer, and easily accomplished with out major disruption. My neighbor across the road ran a test, and has installed a passive vent system in his rather poorly ventilated cellar. No problem remains.In a perfect world, we would all have had that test done before the drill hit the dirt, and after the wells are brought in. We didn't.
In order to quiet the so-called experts on radon gas all you have to do is ask them to document one case of identifiable harm that has been caused to anyone living in a house with high levels of radon gas (high being considerably more than the EPA acceptable established level). They will be able to identify none. The discussion will then turn to underground miners where all kinds of lung cancer has been documented. But then what else do they breath under the ground? How about coal dust and other gases that are emitted from the ground such as methane. In theory radon seems problematic. In actuality, not so much. If radon were such a big problem. then one would expect to see higher than average lung cancer rates in areas were radon gas is prevalent or where there has been identifiable exposure to radon gas in particular dwellings. Ask the experts to document this. They can't.
If I lived in one of them New York apartments, I'd check some of this stuff out, but I wouldn't know where to start. What with Asbestos, Lead, Radon, pigeon droppin's, and whatever else someone says is BAD for ya'. Almost makes me wanna' live in a tent. Hmmm....How's canvas??Gotta' go an' practice a lil' hormesis of my own -- would that be one Yuengling or two??Donegal
Hmmm....How's canvas??Donegal

Yves Fohlen, FFFAIF member in France continues his report from ANZAC Day with an account on the commemorations at Bullecourt. (50o11'33.47"W, 2o55'38.87"E). Yves' report on ANZAC Day Dawn Service can be read by clicking here.
ANZAC Day Bullecourt, France
I made my way to Dernancourt British military to remember a Digger: 4296 Corporal A Sattler 53rd Infantry Battalion who died from wounds on 11 March 1917.
After a short private ceremony just for him I went to Bullecourt to help my friend Jean Letaille AM to welcome visitors.
It was also great for to meet my 'English brother' Paul Kendall who currently writes a new book about the battles of Bullecourt. Paul's relative Private George Kendall 22nd Manchester Regiment was listed as Missing in action at Bullecourt on 12 May 1917.
At 3.00 pm with Paul Kendall, Jean Letaille AM, Mr Jules Laude, Mayor of Bullecourt, two French Flag bearers we welcomed the coming of Australian personalities. That coming happened at the little cross memorial erected where the Diggers broke the German lines.
This year our Australian personalities and friends were : Mr Alan Griffin Minister of Veterans' Affairs, his Excellency Vice Admiral Kevin Scarce, His Excellency Mr David Ritchie Ambassador of Australia in France, Major General J P Stevens AO, Colonel Félix Skorwronski Australian Attaché de Défense.
Wreaths were layed.

That unofficial ceremony is a very moving moment…for me 'a Must'
Then all the personalities went to the centre of the village to start the official Anzac day ceremony. A crowd of about 2000 persons was there. French personalities from Nord Pas de Calais region took part in the ceremonies. Then Anzac Day ceremonies ended at the Digger Memorial.
After the ceremonies a "pot de l'Amitié' was given in the centre of the village.
Mr Alan Griffin and several others VIPs visited Jean Letaille's museum. On the museum visitors book Mr Griffin wrote: 'Magnifique!'. That visit was of importance for all of us who are working on the New Bullecourt Museum. [The previous day, Mr Griffin announced the development of the "ANZAC Trail" on the Western Front that included an Australian Government contribution to upgrading the Bullecourt Musuem.]
Back at home…after such intense Anzac Day…it was hard for me to come back on Earth.
[The photos in this report were taken by Yves Fohlen]
The Families and Friends of the First AIF thanks the Australian, UK and French governments for affording Australian and British soldiers – presently buried in mass graves at Pheasant Wood – dignified individual reburials in a new CWGC cemetery at Fromelles, and applauds Minister Snowdon and his British counterpart, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Defence and Minister for Veterans, Kevan Jones MP, for their joint decision to DNA test the remains at exhumation and use every reasonable method to attempt identification of each soldier.

The following hormone replacement success story is one that is very dear to Ageless Medicine of the Palm Beaches. Adriana Rosselli opens up below about her personal reasons for beginning bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.
Adriana's Story:
"I try to share my hormone replacement success story with many women I know because I am so fortunate to have begun hormone treatment when I did. My story is very personal, but if I hadn't started in 2012, I don't know where I would be today. I have always taken good care of my body and myself. I go to the gym regularly and eat well. In 2012 I even competed in my 2nd figure competition and won first place.
Shortly after that, my twin sons left for college, and I noticed a change in the way I felt. I slowly started feeling a bit down, had no interest in the gym anymore, and had terrible joint pain. I was tired all the time, had trouble concentrating and focusing, and felt extremely foggy in my brain. I began taking ADHD medication at the suggestion of my doctor, and I kept thinking maybe I needed an increase in the dosage, as I was just not feeling any better. I started feeling so down that I just sat on the couch and didn't want to see or talk to anyone. I made all kinds of excuses to Matteo for not wanting to go out on the boat or anywhere with anyone. I started gaining weight, my libido was completely gone, and I fell into what felt like depression. I finally shared with Matteo what I was feeling and what I had been hiding from him.
Now, you don't know me but if you did you would be shocked by this sudden change in character because I am a very positive, energetic, outgoing person who has always maintained a high level of fitness and loved to socialize. After this change, all I did was cry. I went to a therapist who told me I was suffering from mild depression, and he helped me thru it. Still feeling tired and having so much joint pain I decided to have some blood work taken. That was when I found out my hormones were off. In fact, my testosterone was completely non-existent! My doctor then suggested hormone replacement therapy in the form of pellets.
Aging Well is Indeed a Science…
I like to do research and educate myself on anything I am dealing with, so I learned that all the symptoms from which I was suffering were all related to low testosterone. Women are diagnosed with depression all too often and they are given antidepressants, which lower their libido even more! More often than not, what these women are really suffering from is a decline in testosterone.
Once my hormones were correctly balanced I started noticing swift improvements. I went back to the gym and lost the weight. My skin now looks amazing, and I am happy and full of energy. I am 49 but am constantly being mistaken for younger. My libido is way up, joint pain is gone, and I am no longer on ADHD medication. I receive my hormone pellets every 3 months. If I let it go longer I start feeling tired and achy and start losing interest in sex, so I am utterly convinced that my hormone replacement therapy is indeed an anti-aging miracle. Ageless Medicine checks my labs often to make sure my levels are normal, and we alter my treatment as needed.
Adriana's Hormone Replacement Success!
My daughter (my youngest) left for college this past fall, Sept 2014, and I handled it very well. No depression and no sitting on the couch! I really wish more women would have the appropriate testing to figure out if a hormone therapy success story is in their future. If they did they would feel so great and realize how beneficial it is.
Our body needs hormone replacement as we get older. We do not have to age in a way that makes us uncomfortable, sick, or depressed. That whole idea that feeling that way is normal and part of aging at our age is just not true.
I am a true believer in hormone replacement success, and I hope that my story can help anybody out there who feels the way I once did."

Ways to Eat Fewer Calories
Telling yourself that you are going to eat fewer calories in order to lose weight is simple, but the actually eating of those fewer calories can be difficult. A variety of factors come into play when you are trying to cut calories including emotions, habits, social situations, and even societal pressures.
It is very easy to fall into the trap of eating quickly. However, you may unintentionally eat more calories by rushing through your meal. Slow down while eating by setting your fork back on your plate between bites and laying finger food down after each bite. Consciously pay attention to every bite you eat and you will find yourself eating less and enjoying each bite more.

Simba end league unbeaten
Newly crowned champions Simba have opened a new chapter in the Mainland premier soccer after finishing the league with unique unbeaten run, yesterday.
Simba cruised to 4-0 goals in their final match played at the Jamhuri Stadium in Morogoro, opening a two goal lead up to half time mark courtesy of Musa Hassan and Mohamed Kijuso's opener.
Ramadhan Chombo and Hassan concluded the mission with goals in the final half as Mtibwa Sugar never recovered.
After 22 matches Simba dropped only four points, two each in matches against Kagera Sugar and African Lyon after playing to 1-1 draws.
Arguably the best team in the domestic soccer so far, Simba had posted 20 wins and two draws to chalk staggering 62 points.
Simba never resorted to complacency even in their yesterday's match as they fielded their first choice squad against the Morogoro side.
Yesterday's victory came barely three days after shocking their rivals Yanga by dramatic 4-3 goals in the penultimate round match played at the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam.
Simba scored a total of 50 goals while conceding 12 with a superb goal aggregates of 38.
Two other teams of Prisons FC and Manyema Rangers have been demoted after drawing their final matches yesterday.
While Manyema Rangers ended their match against Azam with a barren draw at Mkwakwani Stadium in Tanga, Prisons drew 1-1 with Yanga at the Sokoine Stadium in Mbeya.
Prisons demotion came in the last five minutes when Yanga's Ugandan import Steven Bengo pulled an equaliser.
In Mwanza Toto Africa survived relegation after winning by 3-1 goals against Kagera Sugar in the match played at the CCM Kirumba Stadium.
In Dodoma African Lyon battled to 1-1 draw with JKT Ruvu in a formality match.
Majimaji went down to 2-0 goals at the hands of relegated Moro United in Songea with Stephano Mwasika opening in the fifth minute before Yona Ndabila converted a penalty late in the second half.

RateWatch Cinco de Mayo – As I said before…
Markets: Bonds are up again today, up about 18bps (which is .18), and that puts us right on the lows of the year. Rates have not responded quite as exuberantly, but we're touching 5% again. Even lower on some programs.
Analysis: Rates are sticky down, meaning that they stick on the way lower and don't mirror market conditions exactly. They are also slippery up, meaning that they rise faster than you would think when the market deteriorates. I think that might explain the hysteria about interest rates, with everyone and their dog predicting a gigantic surge in rates when the Fed stopped buying mortgage-backed securities at the end of March.
Okay, not everyone. As you know, faithful readers, I predicted that rates would not go higher, at least not by much. And for once, I was right. It just didn't seem rational to me that with the global debt overhang we would have a massive flight out of mortgage-backed securities causing a huge rise in interest rates. It has, in fact, not happened. Rates remain in the range they have been for 18 months.
Additionally, there isn't going to be any significant fallout – not for the next few months – from the expiration of the tax credit for homebuyers. The market will adjust. There was an extra $8k built into pricing on homes, which will now slowly vanish, and lower prices will start pulling the same buyers back into the market. Not all of them, of course, because many of them were getting an $8000 "gift" from mom and dad that they were going to pay back from their government largesse, and that is gone. But there will be other incentives. The market wants to move. Real estate wants to move. And it will.
Action: if you're in the market, stay there. We're about to see the best prices for houses and the best rates we've seen in many years. Get with us, get into the PerfectHome program, and we guarantee when you find the house you want to buy, you'll be able to buy it. That's right. We guarantee it.

$25 and Under: WKO2 Edition
by, 05-31-2016 at 10:29 AM (4115 Views)
$25 and Under: WKO2 Edition
I want to say thanks for all the feedback and comments for my blogs. I really appreciate it. Thanks again to Shadowmeld.
Target and Rules:
Target of this blog is for the casual/new player who has either been introduced to the game or just started playing and is thinking of taking the next step to tournament play while under a budget.
Before I dive into the team, let me go over again the rules I set up for myself.
1. Create the most competitive feasible deck for under $25
2. Try to expand your dice master collection
3. Build a deck with the assumption the player does not already own any of the cards
4. For the price of cards, I am using coolstuffinc.com. I am not affiliated with the website; it is the website I tend to use more often to buy singles.
5. No op or alt art cards, this is because some sites do not sell these cards. Which of course, leaves ebay and other similar sites to obtain these cards and, as a result, the price fluxes too much.
6. Full set of 20 dice for the team.
Idea for team:
I was discussing the recent WKO2 with my brother. We were going over the standard questions, "How did you do? What should I have done? What do you think of the teams?, etc." Eventually, the discussion came back to the staple cards in the game, a topic my brother and I discuss many times. My brother, along with many players, think that one cannot have a serious chance of playing/placing in a WKO or major tournament without having staple cards, which tend to run for $20+ (Hellblazer, Gobby, Tsarina, Blue Eyes White Dragon, Dwarf Wizard, and the up-and-comers: Babs, Super Rare Ronin and Super Rare Venom). This comes back to another question, which is the biggest factor: the team or the pilot? In essence, I feel the pilot is the bigger factor; while my brother, in my opinion, tends to believe the cards are the bigger factor. One can make a case for either side or a combination of the two. Mind you, my brother and I both come from a Magic: The Gathering background; where netdecking has always been a problem. The idea of this team stems from said discussion. I decided I will take a winning WKO2 deck, in this case TRP's IsaacBV's PolyVenom deck (metaphorically speaking: Coca Cola) and try to come up with a $25 and Under version of it (metaphorically speaking: C&C Cola).
WKO2 Edition:
Before we go into our team, we must first break down Isaac's team. For those of you who are unaware of the team and how it performed here's the link:
Take a few moments to look over the team. I have a question I would like to ask you:
How much do you think the team costs? A. Under $100, B. $100-$200, or C. $200+
The price for the deck, if you were to purchase all the cards and dice, I made some assumptions on the dice count for the cards, came out to $85-$90. Which is not bad for a winning WKO deck, this shows that you do not need to spend hundreds of dollars to get a winning team. But, then again, some may not have $85 to spend on a team. I also would like to point out that Isaac, as discussed in his post and on the TRP podcast, spent a lot of time prepping, piloting, and learning his team. Again, some fuel for both sides of the card vs pilot debate.
When I first saw this team, I really liked how it addressed, in what I believed, are the four main elements of a good team: Control, Defense, Ramp, and Damage. When I sit down to think of a team, I think of how I am addressing these four elements. Obviously some teams will have more of a focus on one particular element then others, but all four elements must be addressed. Isaac's team addressed all four. Lets break down how all four elements were addressed and which cards made up these elements. By doing so, we should have a better idea of where are $25 and Under Team will need help addressing and which elements we can convert smoothly.
:: :: ::avx124:: :: ::
Of all the four elements, this is the one area where our $25 and Under will need to think outside the box to replicate or to come up with a different strategy. Bulk of the cards and finance for team comes from this elemenet. Actually, 5 out of the ten cards are devoted to Control, which is of no surprise. Personal note, when someone comes to the table with Polymorph, nine times out of ten he/she is running a control team. Hellblazer alone can cost from $40-60 and Venom goes for $10-15. I feel the two must have cards for this element are Venom and Archnemesis!. This is the crux of the control element. Venom gives all non-fist -2/-2 and Archnemesis! helps KO any characters with a 0 attack. Cerebro is then, probably placed, on key characters we want our opponents to have a hard time fielding. Constantine and Oracle will be great to have on the team, but I feel these are supportive control cards to the overall control element of Venom and Archnemesis!. So in our team we will keep Venom and Archnemesis! and Cerebro as a supportive control card. I will discuss later in the blog which cards we will use to replace Hellblazer and Oracle.
:: ::
With Venom basically weakening almost all of the characters on the field and Archnemesis! being used to help clean up anything that is still on the board, Magic Helmet Paladin combo is a great way to protect our dice. This combo shuts down our opponents use of Archnemesis! and provides some protection from direct damage. In addition, the costs of these cards are reasonable, so we could have room to bring over both cards to our team. Sidenote, remember that Magic Helmet does protect the user from Prismatic Spray. Here's the link on the ruling: http://win.wizkids.com/bb/viewtopic....4a53f99c1abb46
:: ::
PXG is self-explanatory. Since, I have put PXG in a few $25 and Under decks, I'm sure there would not be a problem finding space on our team for it. Polymorph, on the other hand, may be a problem. First off, I place Polymorph under ramp for two reasons. While Polymorph definitely has a control element, the main intent is not for its defensive capabilities. Even though, if you are going to use Polymorph, you will need to know how to use it defensively. This is a key trait between a novice and a well-seasoned pilot. Second, since Polymorph is primarily here to bring out Venom as soon as possible is why I place this card under Ramp. I feel any card that speeds up fielding and purchase, culls the bag, or increase number of die being rolled as part of the ramp element. Polymorph, since it is a popular and staple basic action, goes for $3-5, which means we may have to look for an alternative for our team.
Bard is becoming a huge staple in teams. Even you are not building a bard-centric team, this card is now becoming the finishing move for more and more teams. With this one card, it makes all of our fielded die damage cards. With this being a control team, we are trying to get board control, then board wipe, then lethal swing. Being the only 'damage' element on the team, Bard becomes mandatory on our version.
We have broken down and reviewed the elements that made Isaac's team successful, now lets see if we can make a $25 and Under version that adheres as best we could to the elements and tactics of the original team.
Team Breakdown:
Venom (Budget so far: 25.00)
Angelo Fortunato - 11.99
Our main source of control is also our most expensive card for this team. As stated before, Venom is the main crux of control and I would also say the main flavor of the team. To get more Venom dice, we will also purchase a copy of Eddie Brock for .39.
Cerebro (Budget so far: 12.62)
Super Computer - .39
Once we get our Venom Archnemesis going, we want to make sure it is harder for our opponent to field his/her characters. Cerebro does a great job of being passive aggressive with the control. We will buy two copies of Cybernetic Intelligence of .25. Cerebro also will cause your opponent to pay 2 to field Elf Thief. While Wizkids, have not directly ruled on this interaction, it is safe to make this assumption based on the ruling WizKids made on the interaction between Cerebro and Nick Fury. (Here's the link to the ruling: http://win.wizkids.com/bb/viewtopic....8626ea22#p9054
Magic Helmet (Budget so far: 11.73)
Greater Gear - .39
Once our Venom hits the field, we need to protect our non-fist characters from ping and globals. Magic Helmet is one card of a two card defense combo that will solve that problem. We are also going to pick up three copies of the common version for .25 each.
Human Paladin (Budget so far: 10.59)
Lesser Emerald Enclave - .99
Our second card in our two card defense combo. As stated earlier in the blog, Paladin with helmet will protect our characters (especially our non-fist) from pings and Archnemesis. In addition, the global offers some protection from direct damage, specifically Gobby and Lantern Ring Teams. We will also pick up a played condition of Master Lords Alliance for .85.
Professor X (Budget so far: 8.75)
Recruiting Young Mutants - .99
Classic Ramp. 'Nuff Said.
Half-Elf Bard (Budget so far: 7.76)
Master Lords' Alliance - 2.99
The unofficial 8th card for every team. This was jokingly mentioned in the latest episode of The Attack Zone Podcast, but it is true. With the banning of Relentless and Swords, Aggro Bard is turning, and probably will, into a mid-range to late game finishing move. For our team, the goal is to establish board control, try to wipe as much as we can with Venom and Archnemesis, then go for the swing. We will also pick up two copies of Lesser Emerald Enclave for .39.
Bane (Budget so far: 3.99)
Professional Criminal - .49
So far we have 6 of the 8 characters from the Isaac's PolyVenom team. You might be wondering how our C&C Cola version is going to be different? No Hellblazer. Remember that Hellblazer is an expensive card, so we need to figure out how to make up for some control. When in doubt, go for a taunt. We should have our Helmet Paladin combo up so this taunt will not bite us. In addition, remember that Venom makes all non-fist characters -2/-2. This means we can taunt our opponent's Hellblazer, let him go through and he will only do 0-1 damage. 1 damage, actually potentially 1 damage, to send a major control element to the used pile? To me, that's a good trade.
::cw54:: ::cw90::
Namorita (Budget so far 3.50)
Taunting Villains - .25 OR Aquatic Beauty - .49
Namorita is our second change to our team. Which version of Namorita you want to use depends on your playing style; either one, adds a nice control element to the team. Lets start with the common version, Taunting Villains. Taunting Villains is a great defense for the early game until we have our Venom and Paladin on the field. Remember, this affect triggers per Namorita that blocks. So you can have 2 Namoritas block separate sidekicks, then give a third attacker -4 to attack and allow the third attacker to go to the used pile. Another strategy is to give an attacker a 0 attack and instead of letting them through, you could use Archnemesis! to KO the attacker, though I don't know why (if the attacker is at zero let the him/her through). Aquatic Beauty, works best with one of our basic actions. The ability to send attackers or blockers to the used pile is a great mechanic. With Aggro Bard teams, you swing hopefully for lethal, if not, we knock a huge hole in the opponent's wall. However, our opponent will have a chance to reroll his/her blockers that were KO from our attack. However, when we attack with Aquatic Beauty with Aggro Bard, we place our opponent in a lose/lose situation. Our opponent will either let Namorita through for damage or block her and send the blockers to the used pile, denying our opponent an opportunity to reroll the blockers on their next turn. Regardless of which version you go with, we will also buy three copies of Taunting Villains to max out our Namorita dice count.
Transfer Power (Budget so far: 2.26)
Cost - .79
Transfer Power will be our substitute for Polymorph. Transfer Power does give us a some Ramp Element (as explained before, I place all dice that decrease purchase cost, fielding cost, cull our bag, or increase the dice we roll under the label of Ramp Element). Pro: Transfer Power allows us to field a character from the Used Pile for free, which is great for any 'when fielded' ability and there is a chance our die could be at level 2 or 3 instead of level 1 with Polymorph. Con: Bringing a character from the Used Pile is not guaranteed as with Polymorph. Regardless the die goes into our bag which increases the change of rolling the die on our next turn. With Transfer Power we are trading the ability to spin characters with swapping attack values. Transfer Power works well Namorita and if our opponent happens to have a character on the field that is still alive after Venom's -2/-2 we can Transfer Power swap the attack value then Archnemesis! for the KO. Yes that is using two different energies for the removal, but we do have a form of targeted character removal. If we have our Paladin Helmet combo up, we don't have to worry of this global biting us.
Archnemesis! (Budget so far: 1.47)
Cost - .99
We are going to keep Archnemesis!, its a great combo with our rare Venom. Nothing else to say that has not already been said about this card.
Final Team:
Transfer Power
Venom - Angelo Fortunato x2
Cerebro - Super Computer x3
Magic Helmet - Greater Gear x4
Human Paladin - Lesser Emeral Enclave x2
Professor X - Recruiting Young Mutants x1
Half-Elf Bard - Master Lords' Alliance x3
Bane - Professional Criminal x1
Namorita - Aquatic Beauty OR Taunting Villains x4
Left over budget: .48
Alternate Build:
Not much left over to play around with. One suggestion, is if you are going with the common Namorita (Taunting Villains) you could replace Bane with Mr. Fantastic. Mr. Fantastic's mask taunt would give us more synergy with the energy for our global; just be careful with Zombie Mags. You may also get a non-played condition of Paladin, or change the die number layout of the team to best suit your playing style.
Looking back on our deck, we are using 7 of the 10 cards that made up Isaac's PolyVenom Team. The major difference is the control element. Isaac's control for his team, in regards to the cards that we are missing, are much more passive in nature than our deck. However, with Namorita, I feel our deck has a slight edge on combat defense. Let me know how you guys feel about our C&C Cola Team in comparison to Isaac's Coca Cola Team.
I hope this article was helpful. Please leave any helpful replies/comments/suggestions. The more I get, the better (I hope) this blog will become.

Why? You may ask...Well, my dear readers, it is because it simply does not work and leaves your teeth uber sensitive and just in complete pain you have to go to sleep just to avoid the pain. I'm not even exaggerating people, t'is the truth.
I ordered just the one satchet off of ebay for £3.50 because they are quite pricey otherwise and within the satchet are two clear plastic sheets to apply over your teeth, one for your top set and one for the lower set.
Along with this, I also received a sheet with instructions and frequently asked questions from people and upon the sheet it stated, 15 mins use for gentle routine for stains, 30 mins for vivid whitening for vivid stains and 2 hours for Intensive Professional Whitening.
Like a hero, I only went and decided to leave the strips on for 2 hours and when I took them off, they looked slightly brighter but not whiter and left my teeth extremely sensitive and painful which for that reason alone, I will not be purchasing the actual kit and be looking for other alternatives.

2013 Train & Play Weekend
We hired a great off road training site for the weekend where we camped and spent the time both practicing manoeuvres and winching and having a general drive and fun experience.
The site combined multiple terrains and obstacles including a see-saw. One of our members also had the opportunity to try out his off road buggy which he has been working on for a long time. This was great to see how a dedicated built off roader compared to road going vehicles. and how different approach and departure angles make obstacles either possible or not.
