Serial Health Care Misinformer Betsy McCaughey Dabbles In Immigration Reform Conspiracies
Right-wing media have adopted Betsy McCaughey's unfounded conspiracy theory that immigration reform, like health care reform, is a secret plot to create a permanent one-party system, reminiscent of Marxist Russian premier Vladimir Lenin. Like her health care fearmongering, McCaughey has no evidence to support her charges.
Betsy McCaughey, the former lieutenant governor of New York, has a long history of pushing conspiracy theories about health care reform, including that the bill's outreach provisions are designed to create a "beholden" Democratic majority. In an interview with The Daily Caller's Ginni Thomas, McCaughey revived the same baseless attacks on the Senate immigration proposal, claiming that "you can count on" third party outreach groups to register immigrants as Democrats. Later in the interview, McCaughey claimed President Obama was using the bill to "elevat[e] community organizations to a fifth branch of government without any of the rules that limit what the other branches can do." McCaughey went on to claim the tactics were similar to those used by Lenin.
McCaughey's baseless conspiracy theory was picked up by Andrea Tantaros, co-host of Fox News' The Five, who cited McCaughey to call the bill a "Christmas tree of carve-outs for lobbyists," claiming, "she says that it funnels money to groups like La Raza, community organizing groups, takes the authority away from the DHS and lets them handle the amnesty process" :
Of course, the text of the bill limits the scope of activities for which organizations can use federal funding.
According to section 2106, the section cited by McCaughey, these activities include informing the public about "eligibility and benefits of registered provision immigration status," assistance to individuals "submitting applications for registered provisional immigration status," assistance with changing immigration status, and aid in understanding and navigating the citizenship process. The bill requires these organizations to be "a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization, including a community, faith-based or other immigrant-serving organization, whose staff has demonstrated qualifications, experience, and expertise in providing quality services to immigrants, refugees, persons granted asylum, or persons applying for such statuses."
McCaughey has pushed a similar conspiracy with the health care reform law, claiming that outreach programs that the legislation pays for are a secret plan to create a "beholden Democratic voting majority." This is only the latest health care conspiracy theory from McCaughey, who previously originated the lie that health care contained "death panels" that would euthanize seniors.

Like his peers, Merced County, Calif., farmer Cannon Michael is fed up with the Environmental Working Group's annual 'Dirty Dozen' list of so-called consumer alerts about pesticide contaminated fresh fruits and vegetables.
EWG's list, collected from USDA and Food and Drug Administration testing data, reports such things as: pesticides detected on "up to 98 percent of the more than 700 apple samples tested," and "33 unapproved pesticides (were found) on 44 percent of the cilantro samples tested."
"What a bunch of self-serving scare tactics not based on science that only serve to degrade the American farmer and discourage the public from eating perfectly safe and nourishing food," said Michael.
"So there were detections — almost entirely below the tolerances set by the EPA. Talk about a bunch of misinformation," said Michael, the sixth-generation to farm on the family's Bowles Farming near Los Banos, Calif.
"It is amazing these people can get away with this stuff. I would eat any of the so called 'Dirty Dozen' and feed them to my boys without worrying one bit. Totally insane!" said the father of three boys ages nine, eight and six.
"We actually live on a farm and our house is adjacent to a field where we sometimes even apply pesticides," said the University of California, Berkeley graduate.
"A guide to protect you from a 0.3 percent chance that a food is over the tolerance level set is unbelievable. The tolerances are set by science and yet there is no mention of that in the news release. The Environmental Working Group just twist things to fit its agenda," said Michael, who is a California Ag Leadership graduate and the current chairman of the California Cotton Growers Association. He is also active in many other agricultural groups.
EWG's annual report is picked up without question by major news outlets and agriculture annually cringes at what Michael and others called distortion of the true facts.
"I walk in the same fields that my workers do. We spray (pesticides) as little as possible. We use IPM to determine when to treat.
Pesticides and organic ag
"I am so tired of these so called environmental groups painting American agriculture in a negative light and scaring the consumer to forward their agendas. We are on the ground making sure that everything is done in accordance with the law, label and what is right. Would these so-called watchdog groups rather get food from another country?
"How do you think those tolerances would look if we got all our food from Third World countries. It makes me so angry. We work so hard to produce clean products — and do so if you look at the numbers and don't twist them," Michael said.
EWG highlights the worst offenders with its 'Dirty Dozen' list and the cleanest conventional produce with its 'Clean 15' list.
EWG President Ken Cook said, "Though buying organic is always the best choice, we know that sometimes people do not have access to that produce or cannot afford it. Our guide helps consumers concerned about pesticides to make better choices among conventional produce, and lets them know which fruits and vegetables they may want to buy organic."
"Organic does not mean no pesticides. EWG does not tell you that," Michael said. "Many products like sulfur used in organic food, and we use the same products in conventional agriculture. There are a number of pesticides we use every day that are also approved for use in organic food production. Groups like EWG do not tell the public that."
Consumers who choose five servings of fruits and vegetables a day from EWG's 'Clean 15' list rather than from the 'Dirty Dozen' can lower the volume of pesticides they consume by 92 percent, according to EWG's calculations. They will also eat fewer types of pesticides. Picking five servings of fruits and vegetables from the 12 most-contaminated products would result in consuming an average of 14 different pesticides a day. Choosing five servings from the 15 least contaminated fruits and vegetables would result in consuming fewer than two pesticides per day.
Distortions, not science
"This is a distortion not backed by science," said Michael.
The latest EWG consumer guide came out after USDA released an overdue 2009 pesticide data program annual summary.
Eighteen produce trade organizations wrote U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack on April 27, to express concern that the yearly pesticide residue data on fruits and vegetables may be misused by activist groups and the media to discourage people from consuming produce.
"While the USDA is not responsible for intentional mischaracterization by others, we strongly encourage USDA to provide the American public with a report that clearly reflects the strength of the regulatory system and the safety of products used to bring fresh fruits and vegetables to consumers," the letter said.
The USDA's 194-page report charts pesticide residue tests for fresh and processed fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, grains, catfish, rice, specialty products, and water for 2009.
A little over 80 percent of the total samples collected in 2009 were from the following fresh and processed fruits and vegetables: apples, asparagus, canned beans, cilantro, cucumbers, grapes, green onions, lettuce (organic), oranges, pears, potatoes, spinach, strawberries, sweet corn (fresh on-the-cob/frozen), sweet potatoes and tomato paste.
"This report shows that overall pesticide residues found on foods tested are at levels below the tolerances established by [the Environmental Protection Agency]," the report states in a section, "What Consumers Should Know."
"In 2009, residues exceeding the tolerance were detected in 0.3 percent of all samples tested and residues with no established tolerance were found in 2.7 percent of the samples," the report said.
The USDA tried to consider how the report was used when writing the consumer section and in a letter in the front of the report, but the agency is charged with taking an objective view and cannot take an advocacy position, said Michael Jarvis, a USDA spokesman.

"SINGAPORE: It was his very first time in Singapore, American rapper B.o.B pulled out all stops for a hot, heart-thumping treat that both he and his fans clearly enjoyed.

"... WHEN THE IMAM MAHDI (AS) APPEARS, ONLY SCHOLARS OF RELIGIOUS LAW WILL BE INIMICAL TOWARD HIM [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)]. HIS [HAZRAT MAHDI'S (AS)] SWORD IS HIS BROTHERS. If he did not have a sword in his hand - IN OTHER WORDS, IF HE HAD NO BROTHERS - THE SCHOLARS OF CANON LAW WOULD ISSUE HIS DEATH WARRANT. Because Almighty Allah will purify him [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] with His munificence and sword (HIS BROTHERS), and they will attach credence to him [Hazrat Mahdi (as)]. THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN HIS PRONOUNCEMENTS WILL BE OBLIGED TO ACCEPT IT AND WILL CONCEAL THE CONTRARY OPINION."
(Ramuz Al-Hadith. pp. 56, 73)
In his [Hazrat Mahdi's (as)] time, the religion will be completely purged of all subsequent accretions and restored to its original form. HE WILL OPPOSE THE ULAMA OF THE SCHOOLS IN MANY OF HIS PRONOUNCEMENTS. FOR THAT REASON, THEY WILL KEEP AWAY FROM HIM [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)]. According to their presumptions, they will accept that Allah truly did not leave a renovator (mujdahid) after the imams......
(Muhyiddin Arabi, "Al-Futuhat al-Makkiyya", Chap. 66 Vol. 3, pp. 327- 328)
In his "Al-Futuhat al-Makkiyya" Muhyiddin Ibn al-'Arabi states:
...Hazrat Mahdi (as) will restore the religion to exactly as it was in the time of the Prophet (saas). He will eliminate the schools from the world. No school will be left apart from the true, pure faith. HIS ENEMIES WILL BE THOSE WHO IMMITATE THE SCHOLARS OF IJTIHAD [scholars who make a legal decision by independent interpretation of the Islamic sources]. That is because THEY WILL BE DISPLEASED when they see Hazrat Mahdi (as) pronounce in opposition to the imams of the schools, BUT NEITHER WILL THEY OPPOSE HIM... HIS [HAZRAT MAHDI'S (AS)] SWORD IS HIS BROTHERS. Since they fear his sword they will submit to his rule, willingly or unwillingly. HIS DECLARED ENEMIES WILL BE THE SCHOLARS OF RELIGIOUS LAW. BECAUSE THEY WILL HAVE NO MORE ESTEEM IN THE PUBLIC EYE. AND EVEN THEIR KNOWLEDGE ON THE SUBJECT OF AHQAM WILL DECLINE." With his [Hazrat Mahdi's (as)] coming, he will overcome scholars' disputes regarding their pronouncements... IF HE HAD NO SWORD IN HIS HAND THE SCHOLARS OF RELIGIOUS LAW WOULD ISSUE HIS [HAZRAT MAHDI'S (AS)] DEATH WARRANT. Because Almighty Allah will purify him [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] with His munificence and his sword, AND THEY WILL OBEY HIM [HAZRAT Mahdi (as)]. Because they will have no more esteem in the public eye and even their knowledge of dogma will decline. With the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as), disputes over pronunciations among scholars will be overcome. They will both fear him [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] and also have expectations of him. THEY WILL HATE HIM [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)] IN THEIR HEARTS, BUT THEY WILL STILL, WILLINGLY OR UNWILLINGLY, ACCEPT HIS PRONOUNCEMENTS....
(Muhammad Ibn Rasul al Husayn al-Barzanji, Portents of Doomsday, 186-187)
Imam Rabbani says this on the subject:
When Hazrat Mahdi (as) whose coming is promised wishes to raise the value of the religion and renovate the Sunnah, those who are used to act along with the people of innovation [ahl al-bidah] and who imagine that things not in fact lying at the essence of the religion are in fact the commandments of the faith will say with amazement: "THIS PERSON [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)] WANTS TO DO AWAY WITH OUR RELIGION AND DESTROY OUR SHARI'A [WAY OF BELIEF AND PRACTICE]."
(Letters of Rabbani, 1/535)

According to California artist Jerry Anderson, his paintings are an expression of his appreciation of the mysteries of life. His extensive travels, varied studies and broad life experiences have shown him, as he says, "...the exquisite complexity and connectedness of all life which provides an extraordinary platform for the continual dance of male and female energies."
Using his preferred medium of saturated acrylic paint on canvas, he records a visual journey of "Exploring the Archetypal Female Essence." Anderson explains that this search arises from his evolving awareness that the universal creative energy that activates this life, and the whole cosmos, is grounded in the feminine expression.
His work is recognized in the United States, Asia, Europe, Morocco and the Middle East, exhibiting regularly with Agora Gallery in New York City, as well as in California and Italy.

Ramos, Gonzalez lead Nats past Phils
Send a link to a friend
[September 04, 2013]
(AP) -- Wilson Ramos hit a three-run homer and Corey Brown also went deep to back Gio Gonzalez, helping the Washington Nationals beat the Philadelphia Phillies 9-6 Tuesday night.
Still clinging to postseason hopes, the Nationals overcame a sloppy all-around effort that included three errors, four unearned runs and four wild pitches. They remained 7 1/2 games behind Cincinnati for the second wild-card spot.
Gonzalez (9-6) gave up five runs -- one earned -- and five hits, striking out six in 5 2-3 innings. The lefty has two straight wins after going seven starts without one.
Ramos connected in the second and the Nationals never trailed. Brown hit a solo shot into the second deck off Luis Garcia in his first at-bat of the season in the seventh to extend the lead to 8-5.
Phillies rookie Ethan Martin (2-4) allowed five runs and four hits in 4 2-3 innings. The righty hasn't reached five innings in his last three starts.
Cody Asche was 3 for 4 with a homer and three RBIs for Philadelphia.
Rafael Soriano tossed a scoreless ninth for his 37th save in 43 chances.
A crowd of 28,826 was the smallest at Citizens Bank Park since April 3, 2008, when 25,831 turned out for a game, also against the Nationals, according to STATS LLC. That was the last time the Phillies drew under 30,000.
After leading the majors in attendance in 2011-12, the Phillies are fourth in the NL this season. But they're averaging 6,000 fewer people than last year.
Gonzalez faced a lineup missing Jimmy Rollins, Chase Utley and Domonic Brown. Rollins and Utley had the day off and Brown remains sidelined with soreness in his right Achilles.
Control issues cost Martin. He hit Jayson Werth on the left forearm with a 93 mph fastball leading off the second. After Adam LaRoche's one-out walk, Ramos drove one out to right-center for a 3-0 lead.
Martin walked three in the fifth, including LaRoche with two outs and the bases loaded to force in a run. Justin De Fratus came in and walked Ramos to force in Washington's fifth run.
[to top of second column]
Werth and Ian Desmond had RBI singles in the sixth for the Nationals to make it 7-2.
Asche's two-run single in the fourth got the Phillies within one. Kevin Frandsen led off with a single and Carlos Ruiz reached on third baseman Ryan Zimmerman's fielding error. They advanced on a wild pitch and scored on Asche's hit up the middle.
Shoddy defense hurt Gonzalez again in the sixth. With two outs, John Mayberry Jr. reached on shortstop Desmond's throwing error that scored Darin Ruf. Michael Martinez followed with an RBI single and went all the way to third on catcher Ramos' fielding error. Gonzalez exited and pinch-hitter Utley greeted Ryan Mattheus with an RBI single that cut it to 7-5.
NOTES: Nats LF Bryce Harper started running in after catching the second out in the eighth inning before realizing his mistake. He smiled and took some verbal abuse from the remaining fans. ... Denard Span extended his hitting streak to a career-high 16 games with a third-inning single. ... Phillies LHP Mauricio Robles made his major league debut, allowing two unearned runs in an inning. ... The Nationals selected SS Zach Walters and recalled Brown, LHP Xavier Cedeno, INF/OF Jeff Kobernus and OF Eury Perez from Triple-A Syracuse. ... Jordan Zimmermann (15-8) opposes Roy Halladay (3-4) when the teams finish the series Wednesday.

I really enjoyed reading the story. The words are easy to understand and the pictures are very realistic. They help bring the characters to life and are also really colorful. When the children found a cute dog, it reminded me of when my family found a pretty cat on the road, both had a happy ending. Boxcar Children is part of a series. You may like to read one of these books.
I think other kids should read this book because it has fantastic pictures and has 44 pages. The type of reader that would enjoy this book is a person that likes fiction books and books about families. You may find it interesting that young children can make the best out of a bad situation by working together.

Model Mom and her cash money
Click here for a refresher on Linda Evangelista vs Salma Hayek's baby father. Evangelista and Francois Henri-Pinault are in court today in New York throwing down over how much cash money he owes their son Augustin. Pinault is apparently testifying today re: his finances and his lifestyle. You know, all the best details. Linda will be called tomorrow or Monday.
As previously noted, Linda is asking for $46K which to us is like holy sh-t mega greed, but that's how much is allocated to Valentina, Salma Hayek's daughter, the "legitimate" progeny and Linda claims she just wants it to be fair. She says she'd spend the money on security and nannies. So that Little Augie doesn't have to live like a second class citizen (among the 1%).
Pinault is countering that this isn't child support but "mommy support" and that Linda has enough money of her own to support Augie. According to Pinault's people, Linda's numbers don't add up and her rationale "doesn't pass the smell test".
He said she said?
I guess.
Linda's wealthy sure, wealthier than we are, of course. But she's no billionaire. She's a servant among billionaires. Pinault is a billionaire. And just as it is for middle class people, those with more money - often the men in these cases - have more power, influence, and control. This may be a case of greed on her part, or it could also be a smear campaign by someone who has unlimited resources smothering a weaker opponent. You pick your entree at the Gossip Buffet.
Me? I'm not sure how he could possibly miss $46K a month. That's, like, 3 first class return trips from LA to Paris. And not even half of the cost of a private plane to make one trip.
Here's Linda heading to court today.

text: Lynn Burkhead MLF Brings SCORETRACKER LIVE to Weekend Tournament Anglers MLF Brings SCORETRACKER LIVE to Weekend Tournament Anglers Permitted use provided by: MajorLeagueFishing.comSince the day the Jack Link's Major League Fishing pros first hit the water, fishing fans across America have known that it's a whole new ballgame in the world of competitive bass angling action.All while wondering, "when will it be our turn?" to take this game changing format and technology to their local waters. That time is now, thanks to the introduction of the MLF SCORETRACKER LIVE™, an Internet-enabled smart phone- and tablet-based real-time scoring and live leaderboard system for use in events all across the country. "Anglers have very consistently communicated to us since the beginning of Major League Fishing that they wanted to fish in their own MLF style tournaments," said Don Rucks, commissioner of MLF. "When you drill down on that, what they are expressing is that they want to be able to count all of the scorable fish they catch and to see a live leaderboard showing where they stand against the other anglers at any time."Developed over the last two years - with input from the MLF bass fishing pros like Edwin Evers, Alton Jones, Gary Klein, Boyd Duckett, Kelly Jordon and Brent Ehrler to name a few - SCORETRACKER LIVE brings a host of new tournament options to local events.All in an exciting and easy-to-use system that will kick 20th-century style fishing tournament formats to the curb.Why? First and foremost because every fish meeting state, local or club established minimum length limits counts and is added to an angler's building score. That score is displayed via the real-time scoring technology that is immediately displayed in the Live Leaderboard standings that are updated literally "as it happens."That leaderboard format, which has helped fuel the high level intensity of MLF tournament competition on Outdoor Channel, can now bring the same level of excitement to local events as competitors and fans watch the action unfold as every ounce counts.The real-time results will display competing anglers by name; show where they rank and compare to other anglers in the event; display their total weight, number of scorable bass caught, and the average weight of their catch; and the weight of their heaviest fish. All of this information is updated instantly and will be viewable on majorleaguefishing.com via smart phone, tablet and/or computer.The MLF way of conducting events will give bass anglers arguably the biggest advancement in tournament angling practices since the implementation of catch-and-release conservation practices into events years ago."Why would a club or local event want to use SCORETRACKER LIVE?" said Rucks. "Because of the pure and simple premium that the MLF format puts on fish care. No livewells and no weigh-ins means that events will be looked on more favorably in local communities."What do local anglers think about this exciting development in the world of bass fishing?After a beta test event held late last year on a lake in Florida, the reaction of participants was highly favorable and enthusiastic.John Mobley, the event's director, knew by day's end exactly how good the MLF concept and the technology were."Everything worked flawlessly with the SCORETRACKER LIVE software," he said. "I gave everyone my cell phone number just in case they ran into problems and I didn't get a call all day! That speaks for itself."The weights were super easy to put in, the page refreshed quickly, and I really liked how it broke down the number of fish, the average weight and the biggest fish," added Mobley."It really changes the way we tournament fish."Mobley wasn't alone in his enthusiasm either."I can easily recommend the MLF SCORETRACKER LIVE system to clubs and tourneys," said William J. Bade after his participation in the Florida test event. "We have excellent livewell systems in our boats to keep fish alive but this system eliminates keeping fish in the boat for long periods, using cull tags and culling throughout the day."I wish we had this option years ago!"Robbie Caldwell, another participant in the Florida event, was equally enthusiastic: "I absolutely love the format! I am not tech savvy in any way but the scoring is easy. I love the no limit concept with no weigh-in. I will do these types of tournament events whenever given the opportunity."According to Rucks, feedback like this from virtually every participant in the Florida test event confirms the hunger for the MLF format and technology to make it to the local grassroots level."We were tickled pink about the functionality part of the event," said Rucks. "We knew beforehand that it worked, but we wanted to see local anglers discover that too. They did and it was obvious that the participants really enjoyed playing the game the Major League Fishing way. You might say that it really opened up their eyes to all of the possibilities as we go forward into the future."What will that future be as local competitions use the MLF format and technology available under SCORETRACKER LIVE?It will almost certainly help MLF continue to carve its place into the bass fishing landscape as the exciting leader at the forefront of competitive bass angling's evolution."Right now, fans watch a very popular and successful TV show, a show that has solidly introduced them to our brand," said Rucks. "With SCORETRACKER LIVE, anglers will begin engaging with the brand by actively participating in an environment that they already love ... fishing tournaments."How quickly will that engagement take place?"We anticipate a lot of immediate interest and inquiry about SCORETRACKER LIVE," said Rucks. "The participation rate will increasingly grow because of angler-to-angler testimonials from actual participants. We also believe that the fishing industry will get behind SCORETRACKER LIVE, just like they are behind Major League Fishing because we are working to broaden the sport at the professional and grassroots level and that is good for everyone involved in fishing."Including a perspiring local angler standing on the deck of a bass boat somewhere across America later this year.A fishing tournament enthusiast whose neck veins are suddenly bulging as he fishes his home water.All because this weekend warrior just got a real-time leaderboard update that his fishing tournament nemesis has added yet another fish to the day's tally to take the lead in the year's most intense and important bass fishing club competition.Because this is Major League Fishing, the way the pros do it, in an easy to use system that will forever change the way local club, community and charitable events are fished.Beginning March 17, 2014, give SCORETRACKER LIVE a try and see if you don't agree!

Your IncrediMail Version: 2.5
Your Internet Browser Type: FireFox 3.5
Your Operation System: Windows 7
What have you done before the problem occurred?
I've been many times in contact with Incredimail Forums about my Incredimail Premium and Gold. I got this two licenses but I could never load down from Premium or Gold.
I got many different suggestens from ImForums but not a single helped to solve my problem. Not the used Browsers and its konfiguration caused the problems. I was responsible for the problems myself.
If you receive any error message, please quote it precisely:
PREMIUM - Offer to buy although I've got it
Please provide a full description of the problem:
I'll tell you how I got to know what the reasons for my problems were.
Normaly I have a Desktop-PC and a Notebook in use. On both I've installed Incredimail but this caused not the problems. The problems are that I put my Key's in both an tried to load down from Premium-Gold. The result was that I was requested to buy PREMIUM als I got it. Then I delete the Keys from one, for instant the Notebook and gave the Keys into my Desktop-PC with afterwards make a restart. Now IMPremium works.
So I think many problems are caused the same way then mine. A aktivated Key on 2 PC's do not work at all. Maybe some people have given their Key to a friend to save money.This would be bad for both because nobody can use PREMIUM.
Now when I go out traveling I take my Notebook with the aktivated PREMIUM-Key but before I deleted the Keys on my Desktop-PC.
Get PREMIUM or GOLD

Rave reviews still are flooding in for The Colin Kaepernick Show.
Relive every game this season online and on-demand with enhanced viewing features, including the "All-22" coaches film. Get NFL Game Rewind.
The San Francisco 49ers quarterback played at an outrageous level in Saturday night's 45-31 divisional-playoff victory, leaving Green Bay Packers general manager Ted Thompson in a state of awe.
"That was unbelievable," Thompson told Yahoo! Sports. "He did everything. I mean, I had read the press clippings and seen some of the highlights. But to watch what he did ... oh my, that was special."
Kaepernick's 181 rushing yards set an NFL playoff record for quarterbacks, while his 263 passing yards left Green Bay searching for answers. It was a fascinating performance that validated 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh's midseason quarterback switch. That once-controversial decision has helped turned San Francisco's offense into a physical, diverse beast.
Said Packers defensive tackle B.J. Raji: "You have to tip your hat sometimes when a guy like that at the quarterback position is consistently out running and flanking your defense and making huge plays."
The Packers had no answers for what the 49ers threw their way. Kaepernick rolled in like a whirlwind. Green Bay has a full offseason to ponder the wreckage.

We have been a follower of C-Dubs Rub on Twitter @CDubsBBQRub for a while now, and we spoke about selling their All Natural, BBQ Rubs at BBQ Pro Shop. We were so happy to get the samples in the mail that we immediately got them on some ribs and chicken to test them out. As we type, the smoker is cooking the food that we rubbed them on, so no food reviews yet, but that will be soon. BBQ Pro Shop is a huge fan of Organic and Natural high quality BBQ Rubs. There is difference in the quality and fresh flavor of the spice and how it is blended. This stuff is "Micro-Batched" so it is of the highest quality and the price is worth the quality.
Alli supplied me with what they call their "One Nighter" which is essentially enough for one meal and a great way to try before you buy! So they arrived just in time for a test cook that my BBQ Team, Pork Phat Posse was doing over the weekend. The rubs are being used to cook some chicken wings, thighs and ribs so that will be my next post. For now, below is my initial taste test of each that I did in preparation for adding these to our store.
C-Dub's Original BBQ Rub
The taste of the Original BBQ Rub is always a great starting point. C-Dub's Original is a great blend of herbs and spices and NOT what you would normally expect from a really flavorful BBQ rub as the profile really jumps out at you. Starts off sweet and then slowly gets salty and then nice and tangy with the garlic and onion presenting themselves while the secret "spices" coming out and blending on your tongue.
C-Dub's VooDoo Rub
This rub is exactly how it is stated on the jar "BBQ Rub with a Kick!" and does it ever pack a nice little punch. This one may have to go on my competition spice list as it has a great kick, one that wakes up your whole mouth, sticks around and then the after taste of the delicious spice blend comes through with a warm sensation in your month. Doesn't numb or surprise, just the right amount of heat to let you know it is there.
Hot Wangs Rub
This one really speaks to the C-Dub's Rub company slogan "Get Naked!" I was warned about this one in advance and I really do love spice and as much heat as I can take is when it doesn't make my eyes water. So before I applied this to some chicken wings (which I bought specifically for the occasion) I put a little on my tongue just to see how best to apply this.
Well let's just say, it took me to the extreme end of my hot scale. Hiccups when it hit the belly is my limit and this one take you there! It is noticeably finer grained than the other C-Dubs rubs and this is usually and indicator that it will have a full flavor profile. While you can enjoy the flavor, that only occurs for a brief moment and then you are introduced to a hot wing spice flavor that really warms your mouth just short of a little numbness. Cannot wait to see how the wings come out with some sweet BBQ sauce on em!
C-Dub's BBQ Rub is all about "Get Naked" meaning you do not need sauce that they stand on their own. They contain NO MSG, fillers or preservatives and they are 100% Gluten Free. They contain no anti-caking agents and are micro-batched so they are made in small batches and are absolutely worth a try!

Coffman: Cut Congressional salaries, make federal employees go on furlough
WASHINGTON — Republican Congressman Mike Coffman wants to cut Congressional salaries by 10 percent and force federal civilian employees to take a two-week furlough in an attempt to cut costs, his office said today.
Coffman says the cuts would save taxpayers some $5.5 billion.
"Furloughs are becoming commonplace for state and local governments, and it's only reasonable for the federal government to follow suit," Coffman said. "At least 24 states have enacted similar budget-cutting measures, while the federal government continues to grow and rack up debt."
The proposal would also cut Congressional office budgets and cut Congressional salaries by 10 percent, except some positions in public health, safety, national security and law enforcement.
Coffman makes $174,000 a year as a member of the House of Representatives.

The Sage Colleges - 59, Farmingdale State - 48
Farmingdale, N.Y. - Farmingdale State fell to The Sage Colleges tonight, 59-48, in Skyline women's basketball action in Farmingdale, N.Y. Gators junior guard Erica Houle (Latham, N.Y.) knocked down three straight shots from downtown over the last five minutes to secure the comeback victory.
The Rams (4-6, 2-1) held a 26-22 advantage at the halftime break, before extending the lead to 33-22 with 18:32 left to play. A 9-2 run by the Gators (5-5, 3-1) over the next five minutes, made the score 35-31.
With under ten minutes remaining, Sage trailed by one before Houle knocked down a three-pointer to give her team their first lead of the night, 42-40. Farmingdale responded with a three-pointer by senior guard Nikita Green (Roosevelt, N.Y.) and a layup by freshman forward Amanda Masson (Rockville Centre, N.Y.) to take back the lead, 45-42.
After two successful Sage free throws, freshman forward Sara Tironi (Cambridge, N.Y.) put the Gators back on top 46-45 with a layup at 6:28. A minute later, Houle knocked down the three game-changing shots to give her team a 57-47 lead with 3:30 on the clock. Sage held the Rams to one point over the final minutes to secure the win.
The Rams were led by junior guard Nicky Young (Queens, N.Y.) who had 17 points, while Green added 12 points.
Houle scored a team-high 18 points for Sage, including 6-of-11 from long range. Tironi finished with 14 points, while sophomore guard Lea McClain (Schenectady, N.Y.) added 10 points.
Farmingdale State will next host Mount Saint Mary on Monday, January 14th at 6:00 p.m.

More than 95 percent of this year's Smeal College of Business Integrated Master of Accounting (MAcc) Program students had already accepted a job at the time of graduation, according to program director Benjamin Lansford, clinical assistant professor of accounting.
In fact, he said, because most students hold an internship before their fifth and final year in the program, and those internships often lead to job offers, at least 80 percent of students had already accepted a full-time job before entering their final year of study.
The majority of students are placed at Big Four accounting firms — KPMG, Ernst & Young, Deloitte and PricewaterhouseCoopers — which recruit heavily at Penn State.
"Penn State is a big draw for the Big Four because we're a one-stop shop," said Benjamin Lansford, Integrated MAcc program director. "They find that they can recruit here efficiently."
"Penn State is a big draw for the Big Four because we're a one-stop shop," said Lansford. "Not only do we have really great accounting students, but they can also look at students from other majors and colleges for positions in consulting, information technology and finance. They find that they can recruit here efficiently."
Andres Lee will begin his fifth year of the integrated program this fall and has already accepted a full-time offer with PricewaterhouseCoopers in Philadelphia beginning in the fall of 2014. He held two internships with the company, the second of which was with the assurance group.
"The highlight of that internship came when the senior on my team asked me to crunch some numbers for him. For him to include me and depend on me made me feel like an asset to the team," said Lee. "In the end, I was offered a full-time position, and I gladly accepted."
"The trademark of a Penn State student in their internships is that when they're done with a project, they go ask what they can do next," said Lansford. "The firms love that about our students."
One reason Penn State students do so well in finding jobs is that the rigorous curriculum is tailored toward preparing them to pass their CPA exam, but Penn Staters also have strong interpersonal skills.
"I often hear from recruiters that Penn State students are special because they're appropriately assertive," said Lansford. "The trademark of a Penn State student in their internships is that when they're done with a project, they go ask what they can do next. The firms love that about our students."
The Integrated MAcc Program is a five-year program, after which students are educationally qualified to take the CPA exam and graduate with both a bachelor's and master's degree in accounting. The Smeal College of Business also offers a One-Year MAcc Program for students who already have a bachelor's degree and want to pursue CPA certification.

Whether you're looking for an all-action adventure holiday, a romantic retreat or an al fresco bliss of warm bubbles just perfect for a spot of stargazing, Landal Kielder Waterside in the heart of Northumberland is the epitome of the great outdoors.
Set in an abundance of greenery around the stunning 26-mile shoreline of the largest manmade lake in Northern Europe, from picturesque strolls and leisurely woodland walks, to archery, Crazy Karts and adrenaline-filled bike trails, breaks at this award-winning park can be as laid back or activity-packed as you choose.
With a full range of Go Active pursuits to choose from, plus indoor heated pool, sauna, steam room, gym and spa, days offer an array of leisure, relaxation and exploration – whilst nightfall under the darkest skies in England is a star-studded spectacle to lay back and soak up in style.
Nestled in the tranquil midst of the forest, our lodge was a Willow Platinum Swim; spacious, luxurious and furnished to the highest standards with two double bedrooms and one twin, all with TV, superb sociable kitchen and open plan lounge with patio doors leading out to a barbecue deck and the piece de resistance – the amazing, and simply huge, outdoor swim spa pool. Blessed with long, clear winter nights during our stay, at the first hint of dusk my husband, two teenage children and I would excitedly congregate in illuminated bubbles for hours of star-struck constellation spotting, enjoying the boundless beauty above whilst the soothing jets massaged away the day. Breathing in crisp black night by flickering chimnea light, we were captivated until long after midnight, listening to the hoot of owls and the nocturnal rustle of wildlife as we savoured priceless family time away from distraction, at one with nature.
Primly positioned and perfect for the ultimate stargazing experience, situated just beyond the park is Kielder Observatory, from where the breath-taking Aurora Borealis has been seen and photographed many times.
On special nights you can chat to astronomers, take a tour and head out onto the observation deck to view moon craters, distant galaxies and glittering star clusters through the telescopes whilst exploring the spiritual and scientific history of the Northern Lights … and maybe even catching a rare glimpse of the magnificent phenomenon.
From starry nights to five-star dining, Landal's on-site bar and eatery The Boat Inn serves up a fresh, locally-sourced menu in picture-perfect surroundings enhanced by panoramic views across the water. The ideal alternative to dining al fresco at your lodge, the hearty menu boasts an array of hot and cold snacks, speciality coffees and delicious cakes along with a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Secluded in the tranquil heart of the Kielder forest, Landal's beautiful lodges range from traditional cosy, two-bedroomed pet-friendly accommodation to top-of the range luxurious hot tub retreats such as the deluxe Spa, Platinum and Aurora range.

KAMPALA, Uganda, May 14 (UPI) -- A top commander for the Lord's Resistance Army is in the custody of the military in Uganda, a military spokesman said.
Felix Kulaigye, a spokesman for the Ugandan military, described Ceasar Achellam as a "big fish" in the LRA.
"His capture is definitely going to cause an opinion shift within LRA," Kulaigye was quoted by the BBC as saying.
Achellam, who said he's been fighting in the jungles for nearly 30 years, confirmed his arrest.
"My coming out will have a big impact for the people still in the bush to come out and end this war soon," he was quoted as saying.
The BBC said Achellam was arrested last weekend following a brief skirmish between the Ugandan military and around 30 rebels. He was reportedly captured in the Central African Republic.
The BBC estimated there are around 300 active LRA fighters in the region. LRA leader Joseph Kony remains at large despite a 2005 indictment by the International Criminal Court on more than 30 counts of violations of international law, including war crimes.
The White House announced in April that U.S. military advisers would be deployed in Uganda to help track down members of the LRA. It was unclear if the advisers played a role in the capture of Achellam.

And now it's back to the desert ...
back to climbing
back to Isis
heh heh
Isis knows what I'm knitting .... she keeps trying to steal mine!
Aha! It's a Sit Upon for Isis! I do love that happy sunny yellow color.
:) It's indeed a Sit Upon! This one's for Mountain Man. But Isis will get her own someday, too. She does like to sneak on mine when I'm not looking.
I have not made one for myself yet...but it's on my list for this winter. I remember them from my Girl Scout days many years ago. I'm glad that Mountain Man will receive this sunny yellow one. What a wonderful gift...wool, hand-dyed from nature's gifts found in your yard, then knit by a loved one. Much good energy going into this one for him, I am sure. I'm also glad that Isis will get one of her own someday.

It's often said in sports that "winners find a way, and losers find an excuse." For defending MLS Cup champions Real Salt Lake, they've been finding a way to win throughout this 2010 season, and Saturday night's 2-1 victory on the road at New England was another example.
RSL looked exhausted and were chasing much more than they are used to. The Revolution seemed intent on keeping the ball away from the champs, who are accustomed to controlling the ball and the pace of play. From the early moments, it looked like a result for the visitors was going to be a long shot at Gillette Stadium.
"I was very concerned that we wouldn't have the necessary energy to finish up what's been a very trying and difficult travel schedule," RSL manager Jason Kreis told ESPN 700 Sports Radio after the game.
But as the match marched into the middle portion of the second half, and just when it looked like a scoreless draw would be a best-case scenario for RSL, defender Nat Borchers rose up to break the deadlock with a reverse header that was almost identical to his equalizer against Colorado last weekend.
"I don't think it's anything other than being in the right place at the right time," Borchers mentioned on ESPN 700 Sports Radio. "[Javier Morales] put in a great ball and all I had to do was put my head on it."
After the Revolution mounted a furious reaction to tie the score, a draw once again seemed inevitable until striker Alvaro Saborio put RSL ahead with a header off a Morales corner kick. The goal in the 84th minute would prove to be the game-winner and gave RSL an important three points in their pursuit of the Supporters' Shield. They temporarily lead that race pending Sunday's result from the Los Angeles SuperClásico between the LA Galaxy and Chivas USA.
The Revolution, no longer in playoff contention, may have had the better of play in the field, outshooting RSL 19-4 on the night, but they fell victim to one of Real Salt Lake's strongest weapons this season: set pieces. The visitors' two goals – one from a free kick just outside of the area, and the other off a corner kick – were the 12th and 13th from set pieces during league play for the club.
"Our guys are really, really pleased," Kreis said of the mood in the locker room following the match. "I haven't seen them this pleased in a long time. I think they are extremely happy that they battled back … and also just to be done with this extremely difficult stretch is pleasing to the guys as well."
With just three league matches and one Champions League match remaining on the schedule, the load will seem much lighter than the grinding 14 games in a 56-day stretch that ended Saturday night. However, Borchers cautioned that his team has no room to take it easy.
"It's definitely an easier schedule as far as the number of games coming up," Borchers said, "but it's by no means an easy stretch of games."

|who needs a helmet? my hair will protect me
This was after being delayed leaving work due to my compulsory attendance at an event that prominently featured candied and caramel apples. This event was not in any way associated with Halloween. It was weird.
I elected not to change back into my wet clothes and rode home in the work ensemble and that proved a bit silly because it was inordinately gross outside and soon I was sweaty. Seriously, I don't know how the normal people clothes bike commuters can do it. Sure, I look like a regular person on a bike and maybe that's "good" for "bicycle culture" (whatever that is), but after just a little bit of riding, I look like a regular person who is both gross and uncomfortable. And I'm sweating! [rimshot]. Wear what you'd like, but normal people clothes just aren't for me. Sorry.
Perspiration aside, the ride was great. I don't know how contentious your bike rides are, but mine are pretty much never that way. I suspect I'm lucky. Sure, sometimes people are jerks and they do careless things that casually and flagrantly endanger me, but they'd probably be doing those same things if I were in a car. And definitely if I were in a bobsled because people would all be like "it's not winter!" and "get on the bobsled track, you lycra bodysuit-clad Herschel Walker wannabe." DC just isn't ready for luge lanes.
Mass through Dupont Circle and down 19th. There's a fun tiny hill from L (El) Street to I (Eye) Street, before you go back down to Pennsylvania and it's each time I ride up that hill I think about pre-modern urban topography and that's admittedly strange, but lots of cities were built before sewers and proper drainage and I occasionally what extent the contours of the land played in those places early development and settlement and this is why I'll soon be writing a book on "That Hill That Shaped the World: Those 3 blocks on 19th Street and one bike commuters over-exaggeration of their importance"
Left on Penn and I followed a guy on a CaBi for a couple of blocks and then headed down 15th where another guy on a CaBi passed me on the right as I slowed to wait to turn left onto Penn. We didn't crash, but I wasn't super happy. Don't pass on the right. Unless you're in the UK or somewhere where that's exactly what you're supposed to do, maybe while hoping God Saves a Queen and/or already watching season three of Downton Abbey.
The trite things I hear of the one-sides of cell phone conversations as I pass people on my bike are just so unmemorable. I try everyday. I just can't.

Police Release New Photos from Apartment of Boston Mob King 'Whitey' Bulger
Police photos show 30 hidden weapons, $800,000 in cash and a handwritten memoir
June 17, 2012 -- Police have released hundreds of photos from the apartment of accused Boston mob boss James "Whitey" Bulger, depicting dozens of weapons, wads of cash and other remnants of his crime-filled past.
Bulger, the alleged head of Boston's notorious Winter Hill Gang, was arrested last year in the small, rent-controlled Santa Monica, Calif. apartment where he lived in hiding for the last 16 years with longtime girlfriend Catharine Greig.
The just-released photos of Bulger's hideout include 30 firearms he kept hidden behind the apartment's walls, an arsenal consisting of pistols, sawed-off shotguns, rifles, and even a grenade. He also hid $800,000 in cash wadded in bags.
Around the apartment, Bulger kept a collection of books about the mafia, including titles like "The Worst Case Scenario Survival Guide," "Mob Cops" and "The Last Gangster," in addition to episodes of the television show "America's Most Wanted" that featured him.
Police also found handwritten pages of Bulger's memoir, a pair of binoculars Bulger had used to search for enemies, and oddities like a dress dummy that appeared to look out the dining room mirror.
But Bulger, whose life as the boss of the Irish mafia inspired Jack Nicholson's character in the film "The Departed," never did fire any of those 30 guns while he was in hiding.
To the contrary, "The reality is that Whitey, now at 82 years old, was living the life basically of a middle class retired couple," said former FBI consultant and ABC News consultant Brad Garrett.
In hanging on to the weapons, the binoculars and the mob-related books, Garrett says "it's really more than anything else an identity thing—actually trying to make himself probably a much bigger person than he was in reality."
Bulger, who was among the FBI's most wanted fugitives, fled Massachusetts with Greig in the mid-1990s, and awaits trial on 19 counts of murder. Greig was just sentenced to eight years in prison for identity theft and conspiring to harbor a fugitive.
In the months since their capture, five separate safety-deposit boxes filled with money have been found in both the U.S. and Europe, and under the agreement signed by Greig she is not required to reveal where any more may be hidden, and is not required to testify against Bulger.
She is also not required to testify against Bulger, who is now 82.
Despite the wealth secreted away by the pair, Greig and Bulger lived a life that was, by all accounts, solidly middle-class.
Living under the names of Charles and Carol Gasco, they managed to live a normal life before their capture.

Stability Ball 101
Here's why you should get ballin':
A stability ball works your abs way more than regular crunches do. Plus, use it in place of a bench for strength moves and your core gets a workout — you'll engage your deep obliques and lower-back muscles to stay in place, says Stephanie Dupuis-Morris, co-owner of Resist-A-Ball.
It's adaptable to every fitness level. For beginners, the ball provides support to make moves like push-ups easier. More advanced exercisers can add challenging balance positions to basic strength moves like bridges and lunges.
It helps banish back pain. Physical therapists love the ball because it strengthens the deep muscles of the spine. One recent study found that subjects who used the ball regularly improved muscular endurance (the number of consecutive reps you can do) by 57 percent in 10 weeks.
Ball Basics
- Choose the right ball for your height — 5': 45-cm ball; 5'1" to 5'7": 55-cm ball; 5'8" and up: 65-cm ball.
- Inflate the ball enough so that when you sit on it with your feet on the floor, your knees are even with or just above your hips.
- To make the exercises more difficult, add more air to the ball: The firmer it is, the greater the challenge.
- Stability balls start at $15.95, depending on size; hand and foot pumps are available from $7.95. For more information, go to resistaball.com.
1. Warm-Up: Jumping Jack
Sit tall on the ball with feet hip-distance apart, arms at sides. Jump your feet out to the sides as you lift arms overhead, bouncing on ball for momentum, then jump your feet back in while lowering arms. Repeat for 2 minutes.
2. Ball Crunch
Targets abs, hips, thighs
Sit on the ball and walk your feet out and forward of your knees, sliding your butt down so your body is at a slight incline. Press palms together in front of your chest, keeping a tennis-ball-size space under chin. Pressing lower back into ball, lift upper body and crunch up. Hold one breath and return to starting position. Work up to 3 sets of 10 to 12 reps.
Challenge yourself: Walk feet closer to ball and lift butt; raise arms straight overhead.
3. Ball Bridge
Targets lower back, glutes, hamstrings, inner thighs
Lie with head and shoulders on ball, knees over ankles, arms crossed. Lift hips as high as possible without arching your back. Hold for 3 counts and lower. Work up to 3 sets of 10 to 12 reps.
Challenge yourself: Cross right ankle over left knee for 10 reps, then switch legs and repeat.
4. Elevated Leg Curl
Targets back, glutes, hamstrings, calves
Lie on the floor with your heels on the ball and arms a few inches away from sides, palms down. Lift hips off the floor and extend legs with knees soft. Bend knees and pull heels toward your butt, rolling the ball in. Hold for 1 breath, then extend your legs and lower your hips. Work up to 3 sets of 10 to 12 reps.
Challenge yourself: Do the move with just your right leg for 10 reps; switch sides. Do 3 sets. For an extra challenge, keep hips elevated throughout the set.
5. Ball Push-Up
Targets shoulders, chest, arms, abs
Lie facedown with your belly over the ball and slowly walk your hands forward until the tops of your thighs are on the ball; keep wrists aligned under your shoulders, fingers pointed slightly in. Lower chest toward the floor, bending elbows out to sides; think of touching your forehead to the floor to keep your neck in line with your spine. Straighten arms and repeat. Work up to 3 sets of 8 to 10 reps.
Challenge yourself: Do the move with your shins on the ball. For an extra challenge, raise one leg.
6. Standing Wall Squat
Targets glutes, quads, calves
Stand with the ball behind your lower back, pressing it into a wall behind you. Take a small step forward, continuing to press lower back and hips into the ball. Bend knees 90 degrees; keep knees over ankles and lower back pressed into the ball. Hold for 3 breaths, then straighten legs. Work toward 3 sets of 10 to 12 reps.
Challenge yourself: Lift one foot off the floor. Do 10 reps; switch sides; complete 3 sets.
7. Cooldown: Backbend Stretch
Targets shoulders, back, hips, legs
Lie faceup on the ball, draping the entire back of your body over it, arms extended overhead with palms up, fingertips on floor. Keeping knees bent and pointing straight up, walk your feet out. Relax for three deep breaths, then slowly walk feet in. Repeat 3 to 5 times.
Fat-Blasting Stability Ball Cardio
Burn an extra 100 calories by adding one minute of the following cardio bursts on the ball between each set of strength moves.
Ball Jog
Sit tall on the ball with abs engaged. Lift your knees up and down as high as possible while bouncing in place on ball.
Sit tall on the ball, feet together. Step right foot out to the right, then step left foot to meet the right, lifting butt slightly to roll the ball with you. Repeat, stepping in opposite direction; continue, alternating sides.
Ski Step
Sit tall on the ball, feet together. Lift both feet, swinging legs to the right and arms to the left, as if planting ski poles. Repeat in opposite direction.

When their bombers are shot down over France, five RAF pilots are stranded in the countryside. Their leader, Paul Lavallier, a member of the Free French movement who escaped to Britain after the Germans sentenced him to death, determines that they must contact British Intelligence in Paris to help them escape. Planning to steal some civilian clothes to wear on their journey to Paris, the five break into a bar where they are discovered by a German soldier. After overpowering the soldier, they steal his wallet and split up, agreeing to meet at a cathedral in Paris. When the other soldiers find their injured comrade, they pursue the five, firing their guns into the foggy night. In Paris, the German soldier reports the incident to Herr Funk, the Gestapo chief, who realizes that the fugitives must be the missing pilots. Funk alerts his forces to look for the bank note, stamped with the mark of the German paymaster, that was stolen from the soldier's wallet. Soon after, the pilots regroup at the Paris cathedral. Baby, one of the pilots, has been wounded in the escape and warns Paul that he has been followed by a Gestapo agent. Entering the confession booth of Father Antoine, his boyhood priest, Paul asks for refuge and help in locating British Intelligence, an underground organization. Suggesting that they hid in the sewers under Paris, Antoine directs them to the crypt door that leads to the tunnels. To insure Baby's escape, Paul diverts the agent who has been following him and crosses the street to a nearby café. When the agent begins to follow Paul, the pilot knocks over his coffee and accidentally tears the sleeve of Joan, the barmaid. After excusing himself to wash his hands, Paul slips out the bathroom window and up the backstairs into Joan's room. Soon after, Joan enters her room to change her ripped dress and prays to St. Jeanne, her patron saint and the French heroine and martyr who raised the siege of Orleans against the British, for a new dress. Although she is shocked to find Paul hiding in her closet, Joan tells him that his pursuer recently arrested a British Intelligence agent in the café. Desperate to send word to Father Antoine, Paul tells Joan that the priest has asked him to give her the bank note so that she can buy a new dress. He asks Joan to notify the priest that she has received the money, and asks her to deliver a message, written in Latin, from him. After delivering Paul's message, requesting that Antoine visit the condemned spy in prison, Joan buys her dress. The priest visits the spy, but when he asks the man to name a contact for the pilots, the man thinks that it is a Nazi trick. When Father Antoine prays to God for help, the spy relents and provides the priest with the information before going to his death. Meanwhile, Paul, exhausted, has slept the night in Joan's room and upon awakening, he proclaims that France will never be conquered and bids her farewell. Paul proceeds to the church, where Antoine hands him a paper with the contact's name. Soon after, the Nazis, alerted by the Gestapo agent, enter the church and after Paul slips the paper into a Bible, they arrest him for lacking the proper documents and take him to Funk, who recognizes him as the missing flyer. Pretending to believe Paul's story that he has left his papers at home, Funk issues him a pass and releases him, hoping that he will lead them to the others. Arranging to meet Paul in Joan's room, Antoine gives him the address of Mlle. Rosay, a British Intelligence agent, and warns him that he is being followed. To circumvent the Gestapo, Antoine suggests sending Joan to meet Mlle. Rosay. Although Paul at first opposes the suggestion, Joan insists on helping and he gives her a note for Mlle. Rosay and a gift of a new musical clock to replace her broken one. On the way to meet Mlle. Rosay, Joan passes the shop in which she purchased the dress. A Gestpo agent, alerted by the bank note, steps from the door and follows her. The Gestapo arrive just as Mlle. Rosay greets Joan, but the two women escape out the back door. Later that night, Joan returns to her room, her hand injured in the escape, and Paul confesses that he has fallen in love with her. The next morning, Mlle. Rosay comes to Joan's room, bearing a map of the sewers, and instructs Paul and his men to meet her colleagues' boat in one of the sewer outlets at 2 a.m. that night. She tells Paul to call her if he is unable to lose the agent tailing him. As night falls, Paul shows Joan the medallion of Free France that he wears and promises to return and marry her when the war ends. After he leaves, Joan sees the agent waiting in the street and runs to warn Paul. When Paul phones Mlle. Rosay for help, he hears a German voice in the background, and realizing that she has been discovered, hangs up and sends Joan to deliver the map to the others while he tries to shake the agent. Joan arrives in the tunnels to find Father Antoine reciting the twenty-third psalm to the dying Baby. Meanwhile, the agent doggedly tails Paul, who after several unsuccessful diversions, ducks into a steambath. Turning up the steam to create a blinding fog, Paul finally overpowers the man and shoots him with his own gun. Too late to meet the boat, Paul leaves Joan a note that he has missed his appointment. As Joan is reading the note, she hears the Gestapo climbing the stairs and quickly stuffs the paper in the clock. When the clock stops playing music, Funk finds the note and deduces that Paul is hiding in the church. He offers to spare the pilot's life if Joan will lead him to the others, and she agrees if he will allow her to see Paul alone. At the church, Joan tells Paul that the others are still waiting for him. Knowing that her betrayal of Funk will cost her life, Joan sends Paul away, promising to wait for him. After Paul leaves, Joan leads Funk and his men on a labyrinthine tour of the sewer tunnels, delaying them until she hears the sound of Paul's motor boat speeding away. On the day that she is condemned to die, Joan, wearing the dress that Paul bought for her, is visited by Father Antoine. As she bravely faces death, he reassures her that she will live on in the heart of France. A volley of shots signifying Joan's death before the firing squad the ring out, while the planes carrying Paul and the others soar back to Britain and freedom.

The Road 2 Recovery 5K Mental Health Run and Wellness Walk – A Superhero Run! starts at 6:30 p.m. Friday at St. George Catholic Church and Delaware Park.
The only race/walk in Western New York dedicated to mental health awareness will be hosted by Compeer of Greater Buffalo and the Mental Health Association of Erie County. The organizations, along with the mental health association's Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) program, came up with the "Superhero Race" theme. Organizers encourage all participants to dress up in their favorite superhero costumes to help raise awareness for the program, which helps abused children have their voice in court and in the community.
The theme calls attention to the idea that while every child needs a hero, abused children need superheroes.
Road 2 Recovery is a collaborative effort of providers, consumers, families, friends and caring community members dedicated to promoting awareness, reducing stigma and raising funds to help people striving for good mental health. Proceeds from this event are awarded, in part, to local mental health consumers and providers to help with mental health research, rehabilitation and recovery in the region.
North Buffalo residents Rosemary and Bill McGrath are co-chairs of the event, which is a USA Track & Field-sanctioned 5K race and walk, as well as a 1.8-mile wellness walk. All community members are invited to attend the event, which features a family-friendly after-party. Registration fees are $25 for walkers and $30 for runners. For more information and to register, visit road2recovery.org.

From Portland to the World: The Story of The Portland Collection - An Interview with Susan Songer and Clyde Curley
Nov 30, 2009
Randal Bays has described Tommy Peoples as "one of the higher peaks in the great mountain range of traditional musicians." It is an image that captures a lot of Tommy: his great stature, his craggy features, his intense and individual nature, and the long shadow he has cast over Irish music. Originally from Donegal, near St. Johnstone, Tommy moved to Dublin as a teenager, and eventually to County Clare, where he married and raised a family. Rooted in the Donegal style of playing from an early age, Tommy's music evolved as he was exposed to different influences. Known early on for his ferocious triplets and dazzling technique, Tommy's recent recording, The Quiet Glen, shows the great sweetness in his playing. From his early playing with groups such as the Green Linnet Ceili Band, his recording on the Bothy Band's first album, and through his solo work, Tommy Peoples has influenced untold numbers of musicians. When I watch him play, I am struck by how he invests himself in every note, and by how deeply personal is everything he plays. We spoke at his family home, Kinnycally, Donegal.
Tell me about your early life in Donegal.
I was born here in St. Johnstone in 1948. They were bleak times alright, but I'm sure it was an improvement on what it was before. My uncle, Matt Peoples, played, my grandfather played. The first fellow that started teaching me was my first cousin, Joe Cassidy -- his mother and my father were brother and sister. In my father's generation, I was just thinking, there were about six fiddlers in a two-mile radius, but then no one since.
Were there other early influences, apart from your cousin Joe?
Well, at the time there wasn't much in the way of travel, or transport or anything else - it was mostly bikes and walking. There were pretty regular little sessions, once a month, up in Letterkenny [thirteen miles away]. Actually, the man that ran them there - Hugh McGovern -- he was an undertaker for years -- still runs the session and he's like ninety or something. I've gone up there the past couple of weeks now that I'm back home.
When you were growing up here, were you playing in a traditional Donegal style?
It's hard to say. Donegal style is associated with Johnny Doherty in particular, and I'd say there were a lot of different styles even within the county. I was probably playing a lot straighter when I was around Letterkenny. There were a lot of influences like Frank Kelly, who played maybe more like a Sligo style than a Donegal style, even though I wouldn't say he was influenced as such by the Sligo musicians. And Vincent Campbell had a very individual style. He was in Glenties and used to come to those sessions in Letterkenny.
You moved to Dublin in your teens?
I did. I moved to Dublin when school wasn't an option. I didn't succeed too well at school. I'd been expelled from one and hadn't turned up at another. It was kind of time to go. There wasn't a tradition of education around this particular area.
I assume most of the people in the area were farmers?
It's also a divided kind of area, religiously. So the farm owners are one religion -- Protestants -- and the other community are Catholics. Most of the Catholics that live in this area would have come in through what were known as hiring fairs. Mostly children hired after they were twelve years of age, for six month periods and the like. Most of the houses around here were laborer's cottages owned by the farmers. Education wasn't stressed because when people left grammar school, the next step was emigration.
And then in Dublin you met up with the Kellys?
I would have, yeah. I met John Kelly [James Kelly's father] accidentally. I didn't have a fiddle or anything, so I'd decided I would buy a whistle. There were a few in the window at John Kelly's shop. He would have told me then about the different sessions that were going on. It was kind of a different scene -- there was no such thing as playing for money or anything like that. There wasn't a lot of music at pubs, either. It was just in these little clubs where we got together just for the sake of playing. At the time, Matt Molloy was going to the college there and Mary Bergin and other people of that age group were around -- Sean Keane, James Keane, and the like. That was about the bulk of that age group. Then there was the older generation, like John Egan, John Kelly, Des O'Connor and Tom Mulligan. Leo Rowsome was teaching at the time in the Piper's Club, so he would often be there on a Saturday night. There were some great old characters around. They were wonderful people and you were safe in their hands. I was in a ceili band then when I was in Dublin -- the Green Linnet Ceili Band. It was a nice band, and good fun. There were a good few ceilis at that time, so it was our first venture into commercialism. We wouldn't play like every week, but maybe every second week. Mary Bergin was in the band, and Tony Smith used to play fiddle in it, and Mick Hand played flute.
Listening to your recordings over time, your music has become sweeter and gentler. Does this reflect the changes in your life, or is it something you've worked towards?
It's probably a reflection of the change in my life. Maybe the main ingredient is from alcohol to sobriety, as well as some degree of inner peace that didn't exist before. Plus a few other ingredients like nervousness that would have had a bearing on performance. Mostly I still am nervous performance-wise, though not on all occasions, but cope with it differently.
Another thing that makes you a unique player is the number and quality of your compositions. Have you always composed?
I would have from a pretty early age. I get fits of it. Being here at night time -- I'm not a television addict and I don't tend to go out very much, so it can be almost a necessity at times. I composed from an early age, and there was probably a theory then -- a ridiculous theory -- that tunes should be strictly traditional and probably passed on for ten generations or something. Maybe the best way to know that a tune was in anyway valid was not to say it was newly composed. There are probably tunes that are attributed to me that I had nothing to do with, that would be called "Tommy Peoples'" just because I happened to play them sometime.
Do you keep track of the tunes you've written?
I wouldn't, no. Maybe there are more than fifty or so - I would have written down a good few in a certain period. Generally I tend to just write a tune down on paper rather than pull an instrument out. It might change a little bit afterwards. I generally do that if I'm sitting down with some spare time on my hands, being a non- practicing workaholic.
Do you have any pet favorites among your compositions?
One that I wrote lately that's on The Quiet Glen, called "Black Pat's." I like the "Green Fields of Glentown" as well, mind you, but I don't play it all that much. It seems to have a certain appeal to a lot of people and has been recorded a lot by others. Glentown is just half a mile up the road from this house.
Is it important to you to think that people will pick up these tunes and carry them on?
It's nice if it happens. I don't know what started me initially, kind of just having a fascination with tunes. When I was younger it was probably a fascination with new material, or any tune that you haven't heard before always appeals. So I just started like that. It would have been a big surprise early on to hear someone play a tune I had written, a surprise and a confirmation that it was reasonably okay. It's hard to judge, really.

Property wealth is boosting the retirement standard of living of Scottish pensioners by more than £86 million, according to new analysis from Keyretirement.com
The leading finance specialist's Equity Release Market Monitor shows retired Scottish homeowners have pocketed more than £55,000 tax-free by releasing wealth from their homes in the past year.
The detailed study found families are among the biggest beneficiaries with 21% of retired homeowners using some or all of the cash to help out relatives with everything from money for deposits to buy their own home to helping with living expenses.
Scottish pensioners were more likely to use their property wealth to help family than go on holiday – just 16% used some or all of the money to fund holidays of a lifetime.
However the main motivation for releasing property wealth was to pay for home and garden improvements – nearly half (49%) of pensioners invested some or all of the cash in revamping their property. Around 34% of pensioners used the money to clear debts on credit cards and loans including mortgages.
Key's data shows nearly 1,600 Scottish pensioners used their homes to help fund retirement last year and released on average £55,200 from their homes which were valued at an average of £190,800. The average equity release customer in Scotland was aged 71.
Dean Mirfin, technical director at Key Retirement, said: "Property wealth is making a huge contribution to retirement planning and that is demonstrated by the wide range of issues Scottish pensioners can tackle. It is interesting that retired Scots are more likely to help out family than spend money on a holiday but that is partly because they are able to release more than £55,000 and their money is able to go further. The biggest use of property wealth is to pay for home and garden improvements and it remains the case that many Scottish pensioners need to clear debts. Equity release is a real alternative for pensioners who are seeing traditional retirement income solutions squeezed by historically low interest rates."
