Michigan expected to face Indiana without QB Speight
One report claims Wilton Speight broke his left collarbone and is done for the season.
Another states the Michigan sophomore quarterback is week-to-week.
As for coach Jim Harbaugh, he says his star signal caller is questionable when the No. 4 Wolverines host Indiana in Big Ten play on Saturday (3:30 p.m. ET, ESPN).
Speight suffered the injury during the fourth quarter of last Saturday's 14-13 loss to Iowa. News of the injury began circulating on Monday, but Harbaugh declined to confirm the seriousness of the injury or discuss any other details related to Speight.
Harbaugh was a little more forthcoming Tuesday during a Big Ten teleconference, but he still refused to confirm whether the collarbone is broken.
"I never really get into that talk; I'm not a doctor," Harbaugh said. "I'd hate to be the third person talking about these things. He remains questionable for Saturday and we'll reevaluate after that."
Speight isn't practicing this week and all indications point to junior John O'Korn drawing the start against the Hoosiers (5-5, 3-4).
O'Korn has previous starting experience at Houston and waged a tight battle for Michigan's starting job before being beaten out by Speight during fall camp.
O'Korn passed for 3,117 yards and 28 touchdowns against 10 interceptions as a freshman in 2013. He lost the starting gig at Houston the following season when he passed for 951 yards and six touchdowns against eight interceptions.
He sat out last season as a transfer and has served in the mop-up role this season. O'Korn has completed 13 of 18 passes for 114 yards and two touchdowns, but the offensive players have seen enough of him in practice sessions to feel he will be more than a capable fill-in.
"If John's number is called, we're fully confident in him; we've seen what he can do since he got here," senior tight end Jake Butt said. "He's been a hard worker, a great note taker, a great leader and he's got everything you need to get the job done."
O'Korn also will be stepping into a must-win situation. The Wolverines (9-1, 6-1) have no margin for error after the loss to Iowa.
After the Indiana contest, Michigan will face what is basically an elimination game in terms of the national championship picture when it plays Ohio State.
"All we can do is control the future, and so that's the only thing we're focused on," senior safety Dymonte Thomas told reporters. "It allows us to see how strong we really are. This allows us to see how we're going to bounce back and respond.
"Every team is going to face adversity throughout the season. So, the best teams are the ones who can overcome adversity."
Indiana certainly doesn't have the greatest timing to have to visit Ann Arbor one week after Michigan's pivotal loss.
Making matters worse: The Hoosiers have lost 20 straight games against the Wolverines. In fact, Indiana has won just once (in 1987) in the past 36 meetings.
"We've got a great challenge, great opportunity," Indiana coach Kevin Wilson said. "I know the kids are looking forward to it. It will be a big week as we move into this one."
The Hoosiers had a chance at an upset last Saturday against No. 10 Penn State but let a 10-point, third-quarter lead get away and allowed 31 points in the final 16-plus minutes to fall 45-31.
Junior running back Devine Redding rushed for 108 yards and two touchdowns while notching his fifth 100-yard outing of the season. Redding has 901 yards and five scores.
Junior quarterback Richard Lagow has been turnover-prone, with 13 interceptions, while passing for 2,866 yards and 17 touchdowns.
Defensively, the Hoosiers allow 28.4 points per game. Junior middle linebacker Tegray Scales has a team-leading 94 tackles and is tied with sophomore defensive end Nile Sykes for the team lead with four sacks.
The Wolverines continue to lead the nation in scoring defense (11 points per game), total defense (244.7 yards per game) and passing defense (131.6). Michigan is also sturdy against the run, ranking 13th nationally (113.1).
Sophomore outside linebacker Jabrill Peppers has spurred the season-long domination and has a team-best 14 tackles for loss. Cornerback Channing Stribling has a team-leading four interceptions.
Michigan will be looking to bounce back from the Iowa loss, but the Hoosiers feel they are in a similar predicament after missing out on the upset against Penn State.
"We get another shot to go up north and play another, great Top 10 team," senior guard Jacob Bailey said. "We have a chance to redeem ourselves. We have a second chance, and those do not come around often in life."

7.5 Tonne Lorry Insurance – The Basics
Whenever you're driving on public roads, you need to have an adequate level of insurance to accommodate. It's important that you've got the right policy to suit the particular vehicle as failing to inform your insurer of the correct details can mean your policy is null and void, and without the necessary cover you're breaking the law. This means you need to get a specialist policy for each vehicle you're driving, and 7.5 tonne lorry insurance is no exception.
This type of insurance is intended for use by all drivers of 7.5 tonne vehicles. It provides valuable protection should your lorry break down, become damaged or be in an accident when on the road, and it's a legal requirement to have such a policy in place. It's important to remember that it isn't just there to protect your vehicle, but it protects your finances as well – if anything were to occur the costs could quickly add up but with insurance in place you won't have to pay for anything out of your own pocket, and it can also be a valuable asset if your lorry is your livelihood, ensuring you won't lose out on any income should you need to make a claim.
7.5 tonne lorry insurance is regularly offered by insurance companies, either those that specialise in the area or larger insurers with a commercial insurance arm. There will always be plenty of policies to choose from so it's important to do your research, and don't think you have to break the bank to get a good policy – if you spend the time to look you'll easily find the right level of cover to suit your budget, letting you get on the road without spending a fortune. Make sure to see what's out there, and you'll soon have the policy that you're looking for.

Bellarine community associations meet City of Greater Geelong CEO
On June 18, representatives from community associations on the Bellarine Peninsula met Stephen Griffin, Chief Executive Officer of the City of Greater Geelong for the first time to discuss Bellarine-wide issues.
The meeting lasted an hour and covered four items.
1. Consultation policy
Stephen Griffin heard of the widespread feeling within communities that the City of Greater Geelong's public consultations appear to have no effect on subsequent policies. He agreed to a further meeting to hear detailed examples and to discuss a new consultation policy for the council that has been presented by ABCA.
2. Infrastructure on the Bellarine
ABCA has produced a comprehensive list of items needing attention and it was suggested that a designated CoGG 'officer for the Bellarine' could assist CoGG to respond to these sorts of Bellarine-wide isues. Stephen Griffin advised ABCA to submit its list and proposals to CoGG's draft Land Use Strategy when it is released for public consultation.
3. City of Greater Geelong's strategic priorities for the Bellarine
Stephen Griffin heard that people on the Bellarine Peninsula believe that CoGG sees the Bellarine as the 'poor cousin' to developing areas such as Armstrong Creek. Stephen Griffin said that CoGG would involve ABCA - as the peak community body on the Bellarine - in the mid-term review in 2011 of CoGG's Bellarine Strategic Plan.
4. Climate change
It was reported that Bellarine Bayside is about to undertake a study on climate change, yet the area it controls is only a small proportion of our total communities. ABCA called for CoGG, Surf Coast Shire and other relevant agencies to be involved in any such study.
The meeting was arranged by the Affiliation of Bellarine Community Associations (ABCA), of which Drysdale & Clifton Springs Community Association (DCSCA) is a member. Representatives of the Barwon Heads Association, DCSCA, Ocean Grove Community Association and Indented Head Community Association attended the meeting and other associations that were unable to be represented sent their apologies.
The meeting was positive and business-like. It bodes well for future relations between ABCA and CoGG.

Established in 1999 to promote the history and culture of the American cowboy.
Copyrighted 2011 and all rights reserved by Stan Paregien
Friday, January 13, 2012
Hello, there, neighbors:
I am making a lot of changes as we enter this new year of 2012. And most of them involve trying to simplify my life.
One big step in that direction involves combining my two current web sites-- this one, cowboydirectory.com, and my paregien.net --into one new web site with the web address of paregien.com that I am hosting with the help of HostgatorDiscounts.org. Very soon I'll begin moving most of my material located for years at my paregien.net web address to that new site. I will not renew my former web site, so it will expire and drift off to computer heaven on January 23, 2012. And, since it will take considerable time and effort to transfer most of that site's materials to this new one, much of it will not be available for whatever period of time that takes. I do apologize for any inconvenience.
And effective no later than June, 2012 I will close my CowboyDirectory.com web site (www.cowboydirectory.com) as well. Believe me, friends, that was an especially traumatic decision for me. I've poured my heart and soul and sweat into making it the largest internet database of Western (cowboy) writers and entertainers in the world. I sure did enjoy researching the material and compiling it in my own, . . . well, unique style. But the fact is I cannot keep up with it. Somebody with a paid staff of research assistants and writers might swing it, but it clearly is an impossible challenge for me at my age and with the other things I want to do with whatever time the good Lord allows.
I will transfer a small part of that very large web site, CowboyDirectory.Com to this new one, www.paregien.com. Then I hope to publish parts of that Cowboy Directory material as a whole series of Kindle e-books on some the better known Western/cowboy writers and entertainers. Those E-books, like my current books listed on our "Products" page on the brand new web site, will be available for purchase at Amazon. The basic idea, you see, is to try to actually earn a buck or two through the E-books 'cause I never made a nickle from all of the information as it stood for years and years as Cowboy Directory.Com. Yep, sad but true. But it was a great ride while it lasted, all the way from 1999 to 2012. Time to move on.
I extend my sincere thanks to all of you who have followed my postings on my various web sites over the years. And I invite you to continue that tradition at the new location.
Please stop by the "Products" page at paregien.com and check out all the Kindle E-books I currently have available on Amazon.Com. I recently added two more. One is titled Clara Luper: The Mother of Oklahoma's Civil Rights Movement. The other new one is titled Jim Shoulders: Oklahoma's Rodeo King.
And now . . . I've gotta get to work. Right after I take a nap.
Best wishes to one and all.

About Us
CowboyDirectory.Com was established in 1999 by Stan Paregien and he alone is responsible for the content. This is the world's largest internet database of Western writers and entertainers. Pard, there just ain't nothin' out there as comprehensive as this. And we are again adding new listings as well as updating current listings as fast as my short, fat fingers allow.
Right here in our big ol' virtual library you will find biographical sketches on hundreds Western writers, cowboy poets, singers, musicians, trick ropers, bullwhip artists, movie stars and more. These are the people who have written about the America West or who have done something to keep its Spirit alive for future generations. Plus you'll find hundreds of photos, old movie posters, book covers, poems, cowboy songs and much more. Our individual files, including graphics, now number over 2,400 and climbing each month. Some pages take a while to load just because they do have so many graphics, but it is well worth the wait.
I dedicate these pages to all those people around the world who have a deep love of the America West. That includes working cowboys and "wannabe's" alike. Whether you live in the God-made canyons of Colorado or the man-made canyons of New York City or Hong Kong, you are welcome to sit down around our little campfire.
Now a word of appreciation to my best friend, my wife Peggy. More than anyone else, she knows the thousands of hours of work that I have put into researching and writing these pages. I thank you, dear, for understanding my compulsion to write about the West I love and for your willingness to ride along the Cowboy Trail with me.
In my research, I have gathered the following photos and images from here, there and everywhere. My intent is not to violate any copyrights or trademarks. I believe my usage for this essentially personal site is well within the "fair use" guidelines of the U.S. copyright law. However, I will promptly remove any item if anyone with legal standing regarding a certain item objects to its use and provides written notification to me at the address below. Rustlin' just ain't the cowboy way, ya know, and I don't want to be guilty of that.
Enough of that. Kick off your boots, lean back and enjoy yourself. Happy reading, partner.

May 8, 2005: 2 NEW STORIES!!!!
(Previously Published in the zine Cascade Beyond the Veil 3, available from Skeeter Press)
It was the scent of blood that caught his attention. Acrid, yet sweet—cloying even. It drew him inside the dark space, a place he knew he should avoid. It was as if there were signs all over, shouting to him in flashing colors to run away. Yet the blood called, and he followed.
The Virgin Suicides:
"The Virgin Suicides." Catchy name, except for the fact that at least three of the five victims weren't virgins and no one was quite sure if they were suicides or not. Five girls found dead in their beds with no known cause of death. No sign of struggle. No marks on their bodies. No trace of drugs. No indication of previous health conditions. According to the autopsy and toxicology reports, these girls shouldn't be dead.
But they were.
I have neglected these pages long enough, so I'm going to do a little cleaning up. It's going to take a while because there are a lot of stories. Some of my older stories have the wrong email address and some are in funky colors. Some stories have won awards which I've totally neglected to list. Anyway, you might have a program that monitors when bookmarked pages have changed and I just wanted you to be aware that nothing new is being added (for now). I'm just doing some rearranging. So you might want to take me off the "notify if changed" list for a while.
It's and this is TVLit 101 (please check your schedules to make sure you're in the right place), and I'm your host, "Professor" Witherspoon. I'm reluctant to use the word "instructor" because this class is not about learning, but about experiencing, exploring, and enjoying the wonderful world of fan fiction. I have taken the liberty of authoring the texts for this course (see Recommended Reading for other fine examples of TV-based literature), and while none of the texts are required reading, I hope you will take time to sample the offerings at your leisure. If you have any questions or wish to discuss a certain text, you may contact me at any point. The following syllabus will be updated at regular intervals. Enjoy!

The herbs (are you an "erb" or "herb" person?? I used to say it the American way, "erb" but people didn't understand me, or they correct me...I guess I should say "how-er" instead of "our" for hour but then again will I be let off saying " My 'ouse" instead of " My house"??) used in Chinese cooking are very different from western cooking. Although both western and Chinese herbs are supposedly medicinal, I think Chinese herbs are more so while western herbs are more for flavor.
This is an easy way to do herbal chicken. I like the herbal chicken at DJunction because it tastes good and because they don't use 'glass paper' which to me is another name for plastic. I'm not very knowledgeable about Chinese herbs, and my herbal chicken is very mild. I think it lacks dong gui or something like that. What I do is go to the Chinese herbal shops and point at whatever I want. Do not buy the pre-packaged herbs; they usually have been packed months ago. I don't put dried beetroot because it darkens the sauce too much, but it's really up to you to add whatever you like, like lotus seeds and others. Sometimes I only use wolfberries, red dates, dried longans and yuk juk.
Easy Herbal Chicken
1 free-range chicken or kampung chicken
Chinese herbs of your choice but must include wolfberries, yuk juk, dried longans and red dates.
2 thin slices of fresh ginger
salt to taste
1. Cut chicken into large pieces and remove the thicker skin if like ( I didn't, for the sake of the picture).
2. Wash herbs twice and soak for 5 min, then rinse again.
3. Put the chicken pieces into a shallow glass casserole dish (like Corning's) and arrange the herbs and ginger around it. Add water upto 2cm or 3/4" high from the bottom of the dish.
4. Cover dish and set over a medium flame. When it boils, use chopsticks or tongs to move the chicken a bit so skin doesn't stick to dish. Reduce flame to low, stir once in a while so skin wouldn't stick, and simmer until desired softness. It's not necessary to add water because the chicken will give out juice plus you don't want to water-down the essence5. Sprinkle 3/4 t salt (or to your taste) over and mix 1 T cornflour + 2 T water to make a cornstarch solution to thicken the gravy if like. If you, like me, are mindful of the oil, pour the juice out, skim off the oil and return the juice to the dish and then thicken if like. Don't make the gravy too thick though. Serve HOT with plain rice.

If your ex-partner wants to move to a new location and take your child with him or her, or if you must travel often and are worried about missing out on your child's life, you may want to talk to your attorney about implementing virtual visitation in your visitation rights. This kind of visitation is relatively new to child custody courts, but it can be immensely beneficial for both parents and their children.
What is virtual visitation?
When parents and children live far apart, if one parent is deployed with the military or if visitation in person is not possible for some other reason, virtual visitation can be used. It's a type of visitation that requires technology; the child and parent may talk over emails, video conferencing software or instant messaging. Video mail and other kinds of software could also be used.
This kind of visitation can be built into a parenting arrangement, allowing the child and parent to talk more often than if they were restricted to seeing each other in person.
Does virtual visitation take the place of in-person visitation?
Virtual communication can't take the place of seeing a parent or child in person, but virtual visitation can help parents bridge the gap between talking on the phone and seeing their child. For instance, talking over the Internet via webcam allows the child and parent to see each other, their facial expressions and things the parent or child want to share with one another. The parent can read a child bedtime stories, witness sporting events from a distance and talk about day-to-day events, even though he or she isn't able to be present all the time.

Second, degrees of many inflammatory LMs had been elevated at 3 and 6?h CDK9 inhibitor 2 post-sepsis induction, and these increases had been suppressed by rhTM pre-treatment partially. Inside our preterm sepsis mouse model, subcutaneous administration of 3?mg/kg of rhTM in 6?h ahead of sepsis induction resulted in improvements in the bloodstream gas mortality and variables price. On the other hand, subcutaneous administration of 10?mg/kg of rhTM CDK9 inhibitor 2 worsened the entire mortality, in spite of significant improvement of bloodstream gas parameters in 3?h post-sepsis induction. To time, there were many reports investigating the result of rhTM in septic pet versions. Nagato et al. reported which the intravenous administration of just one 1?mg/kg of rhTM 30?min to sepsis induction significantly improved sepsis success prior, and suppressed inflammatory HMGB1 and cytokines elevation within an LPS-treated rat sepsis model16. Takehara et al. reported which the intravenous administration of 3?mg/kg of rhTM 30?min ahead of sepsis induction improved sepsis success, and suppressed the elevation of inflammatory cytokines and HMGB1 in serum and ascites in an LPS-treated mouse Rabbit Polyclonal to Caspase 6 sepsis model25. However, these studies used adult rodent sepsis models, and there has been no statement investigating the effects of rhTM in an animal model of neonatal sepsis. In addition, these studies utilised models of sepsis induced by LPS administration; however, sepsis induction by using this model might not truly reflect the pathophysiology of human being sepsis because LPS induces endotoxemia or systemic swelling, but does not induce sepsis26. Furthermore, in LPS models, activation of the innate immune system can only possess deleterious effects, whereby any treatment that blunts the inflammatory response can be beneficial; in contrast, sepsis in human being patients is induced by an infectious process in which immunological responses can be both beneficial and deleterious27. Therefore, the caecal ligation and puncture model has been widely used because it closely resembles the progression and characteristics of human being sepsis; however, newborn pups do not CDK9 inhibitor 2 tolerate this surgically invasive process28. Here, we founded a mouse model of non-surgical preterm sepsis using the CS method founded by Wynn et al.29 and CS stock preparation protocol founded by Starr et al.18. This is a simple technique consisting of intraperitoneal CS administration to 4-day-old mouse pups, an age immunologically equivalent to human being preterm babies30. Similar to the caecal ligation and puncture model, the advantages of this model are the living of an infection focus (i.e., an abdominal abscess) and its polymicrobial nature. Concerning the dynamics of post-sepsis LMs, two EPA-, three DHA-, and six AA-derived LMs were improved 3?h post-sepsis induction, and six EPA- and two DHA-derived LMs were increased 6?h post-sepsis induction. Recently, the tasks of LMs in maintenance of swelling and their convergence have been.

There are few things in life as heart-wrenching as watching your home burn to the ground. Just ask Lindy and Rosa Lindholm, who lost their 6,000-square-foot, custom-designed house in Yorba Linda to the 2008 Freeway Complex fire.
"We really did lose everything," Rosa recalls, sitting in the vast living room of the couple's Lido Island house. "I'm still sad about my son's baby book, which I didn't think to take along when we evacuated. You really cannot replace that. Everything else, we just started over."
The couple, whose three grown children had already left what Lindy calls "the homestead" by the time of the fire, are certain they would have never left Yorba Linda without the push from the disaster. "It was on two-and-a-half acres, we had a pool, everything," he remembers. "It probably took the fire to get us to move. We were there for 18 years and we had so much stuff!"
Happily, they already owned a cottage on Via Jucar on Lido Isle in Newport Beach, so they had a temporary place to call home. "It was a little, one-story, 1,400-square-foot home," says Lindy, whose Irvine-based company Hillcrest Contracting specializes in street improvement projects. "We were going to have it as a summer house." They ended up living there nearly four years while they designed and built this new house, only a few miles from their daughter's family, including their 8-year-old grandson.
Their new Lido Isle home is a striking, 5,652-square-foot "casual contemporary" corner house encompassing two lots. Copious outdoor space includes a waterfall flowing into a whirlpool spa and a second-floor terrace with two levels, fireplace and sauna. There's even a dumbwaiter to carry food and drink from the kitchen to the top terrace.
Architect Brion Jeannette, who helped the Lindholms create their Yorba Linda home in 1988, again worked closely with the couple to realize their open design. The house has a 29-foot first-floor ceiling, with an open staircase and curved lines throughout. Giving it that grand scale yet still making it an intimate place where the couple's family can visit and enjoy was a key element in Jeannette's design.
"Open plans with high ceilings and large volumes have a tendency to appear massive from the exterior," he explains. "I wanted the house to feel settled on its site and not imposing to the neighborhood. I also located the house on the site so that all sides of the home are fully exposed to natural light and ventilation. At the same time I wanted to create some intimate spaces and privacy from and for guests and their grandchildren."
For the build itself, the couple used general contractor Neil Longman of Longman Construction, with Mark Whitaker doing all the stonework. Inside, Rosa Lindholm enlisted the help of Erin Curci of E2 Interior Design. "She helped me pick out everything – and you can just imagine how many decisions there were, when we had almost nothing to come in here with."
One striking element of the inside is the built-in, 250-gallon curved aquarium that serves as a focal point of the downstairs grand room. "Lindy and Rosa both love aquariums," Curci says. "It was definitely a challenge to execute on something so unique with the large expanse of radius glass. We were so excited when it finally came to fruition. It is definitely a statement in their home."
It's a home that the Lindholms plan to stay in for a long time – unless, of course, fate again has something else in mind.
"It was a blessing in disguise when we lost the house in the fire. Of course, we were so sad about it, but then you kind of see God's plan. It brought us over here, to be close to our daughter and close to our grandson. And now," Rosa says with a laugh, "we figure that this time a tsunami will get us here by the beach, not a fire!"

What Republicans in Tennessee's state Senate are looking ahead to in 2020
CROSSVILLE — The Tennessee state Senate's Republicans gathered in Crossville Thursday to outline their 2020 priorities, both political and legislative, while hearing from Gov. Bill Lee and Attorney General Herbert Slatery on a wide range of topics.
The all-day retreat for the Senate GOP caucus was filled with a plethora of information and featured a few unusual comments, including a freshman member saying his constituents were "whining" and another member calling pre-K a waste.
To begin the day, which started at 9 a.m., Lee shared insights about his recent trip to New York for bond ratings meetings and offered hints about his forthcoming legislative agenda for the 2020 session.
Lee pushes criminal justice reform
Lee thanked the body for their work on legislation related to the state's rural communities, as well as approving a controversial measure that seeks to significantly alter how the state receives its federal Medicaid money.
As expected, he hinted at taking action on criminal justice reform, education and health care and fielded a few questions from senators during a 30-minute discussion.
"Because of y'alls leadership," he said, "I think we're going to get criminal justice reform."
The governor described the phrase as one that means having fewer people in prison, more productive citizens after they leave, less taxpayer money spent on incarceration and a lower crime rate in the state.
"It isn't going to be easy to get that done," he said. "We have to be creative and innovative and disruptive and challenge the way we've been doing things forever."
He added, "We can empty our jails in the same way that some other states have done. I know we can do that."
2020 elections and the state Senate
Turning to the 2020 election cycle, the caucus heard from political consultant Bonnie Brezina, whose slideshow highlighted the financial conditions of Senate Republicans and Democrats.
"What (state Democratic Party chair Mary) Mancini is doing right now is just obviously not working," said Brezina, praising the state's Republican leaders.
Discussing the 15 Senate Republicans facing election next year, the group paid particular attention to Sen. Steve Dickerson's race.
Dickerson, who was not present Thursday – one member said he was working while another said he was on vacation – is the lone Republican in the Davidson County delegation and is facing Republican challenger Diane Michel, as well as a Democratic opponent Kimi Abernathy.
"I think we need to spend as much as we can to make sure Dickerson stays put," said Brezina, recommending his colleagues offer donations and other campaign efforts.
Asked whether the caucus planned on conducting polling ahead of the 2020 elections, Brezina – who, laughing, said off the record – stated, "From a consultant's standpoint, I think yes, definitely."
When Brezina fielded a question from Sen. Ken Yager, R-Kingston, about what type of strategy Democrats might use next year, she said she had yet to see such plans.
"Personally, and this is just my opinion as a Republican political consultant, there needs to be probably a whole change of reorganization over there in order for them to start having some leadership," Brezina said.
When Brezina fielded a query about how the caucus can work to attract new voters, she conceded the difficulties of appealing to younger voters.
"Millennials these days, I mean it's tough," she said. "Changing their mind is just a tough thing to do right now." She noted millennials obviously wanted to see the country go in a different direction, adding there are, however, "good, solid" conservative millennials.
Asked whether there are any signs of fatigue among GOP voters heading into 2020, Sen. Kerry Roberts, R-Springfield, said he noticed a lot of people are tuning out politics and wondered if such voters will return on Election Day.
Brezina remained confident that there is not fatigue among Trump Republicans, citing those who have continued to show up at campaign events for the president and Vice President Mike Pence.
"I'm not seeing much fatigue, maybe in Tennessee," she said. "But not on a national level."
Social media, politics and block grants
The caucus also heard from a representative from Facebook about how it can utilize tools from the social media company.
When the group broke for a buffet-style lunch at Cumberland Mountain State Park, local prison inmates in blue outfits cleaned up fallen brush while under the watchful eye of a law enforcement official.
The retreat also presented the caucus an opportunity to hear from the heads of all nine Senate committees, who offered previews of issues that will likely be discussed in the upcoming legislative session.
Sen. Paul Bailey, R-Sparta, gave a brief summary of the state's efforts to secure a block grant for its federal Medicaid money, adding there's been a lot of "misinformation" about the proposal.
Bailey sponsored the legislation that requires Lee to submit a request to the federal government to fund TennCare, the state's Medicaid program, through a block grant. The state just wrapped five of public hearings on the proposal across. Only one person spoke in favor of the plan at the hearings.
Sen. Paul Rose, R-Tipton, asked Bailey for talking points on the block grant issue and praised him for his leadership on it.
"You did a real good job of squashing all the whining I've been hearing," said Rose, a freshman senator up for reelection next year.
Bailey also said the group needed to make a decision on whether to continue its opposition to legislation that contained insurance mandates in it. He said he anticipates members of the House to advance such legislation next year, which could put the Senate in a difficult position.
Education and health care
Sen. Dolores Gresham, R-Somerville, explained how two-thirds of third grade students are unable to read at grade level, which will likely cause the Senate Education Committee to consider ways to address the issue.
After Sen. Becky Duncan Massey, R-Knoxville, stressed the need to "figure out a way" to invest more in early education, Sen. Frank Niceley, R-Strawberry Plains, called pre-K and kindergarten a "waste."
"We're confusing these kids by getting them in school too early," Niceley said, advocating for letting students start school around 6 or 7 years old. "All this pre-K is is government babysitting."
Other topics the caucus discussed that will likely come up during the session include abortion, vaping, rural hospital closures, medical marijuana, red-light cameras, increasing the Senate's campaign contribution limits and how to allocate the state's excess revenue.
Sen. Bo Watson, R-Hixson, noted how the state has continued to receive excess revenue that will likely force the chamber to make tough decisions.
"The state of Tennessee has never been in as good of financial shape as we are today," he said. "While revenues are really good right now, the next recession is simply around the corner and we will be wise to prepare ourselves for it."
Watson stressed the need for fiscal discipline in economically prosperous times, as well as difficult periods.
When Senate clerk Russell Humphrey gave the group an in-depth overview of the chamber's ethics rules, members tried to parse out what they are required to disclose, citing a hypothetical example of about listening tours.
The Senate's rules require public notice for meetings in which deliberations and decisions occur. Watson pointed out if lawmakers go to dinner with one another and discuss legislation, they can't vote until they're in committee, wondering if they'd have to disclose such gatherings.
"There may be a distinction between deciding and voting," Humphrey said.
The day wrapped up with Slatery, the state's attorney general, addressing the caucus for roughly 30 minutes on laws passed during the 2019 session that have faced legal challenges, his involvement in national opioid litigation and abortion.

today: a gate to a field. that's alongside a walkway not far from here.
not sure why – maybe due to their meta level of entering / inside / outside, i am drawn to gates. and in time, a series of gates now formed here in this blog, below a screenshot and here the category link: participation/gates.
Gate – in German, it's "Tor" or "Pforte" (derived from the Latin "Porta")
i just looked up the English wiki definition:
A gate or gateway is a point of entry to a space enclosed by walls, or a moderately sized opening in some sort of fence. Gates may prevent or control the entry or exit of individuals, or they may be merely decorative. Other terms for gate include yett and port. The word derives from the old Norse "gata", meaning road or path, and originally referred to the gap in the wall or fence, rather than the barrier which closed it.

In the early days (before permanent login names), I blogged simply as 'Amanda' or, at least once, as 'Amanda the All About Eve fan'.

The Panasonic PT-DW740US 1-Chip 7000 Lumens DLP Projector with Lens (Silver) is a compact yet powerful projector. It features an RGB booster to ensure the projection of vivid images, an eco filter to eliminate the need for filter replacement for up to 12,000 hours, and a flexible system configuration.
The RGB booster achieves high image quality with high levels of color reproduction and brightness to make each color stand out. It combines vivid color control technology with a newly engineered lamp modulation drive system for the 1-chip DLP projector. Image quality is given more depth with the inclusion of the detail clarity processor. This advanced image-processing circuit analyses the video signal frequency range for each scene by extracting data on the distribution of high-, mid-, and low-frequency components, and brings out fine details accordingly. The resulting images have a more natural and 3-dimensional appearance with crisp and clear detail.
The wide adjustment range of the powered horizontal / vertical lens shift function assures convenience and versatility during installation. It lets you make adjustments easily with the remote control. The unit can also be rotated 360 vertically, which means that you can install it at any angle you want to accommodate different installation conditions.A web browser on a computer connected through a wired LAN system lets you remotely operate this projector. An email messaging function can also notify you when a lamp needs replacement and indicate the overall projector status. In addition, multi-projector monitoring and control software is included for monitoring and controlling multiple projectors from a single PC. The wired LAN terminal is compatible with PJLink (Class 1), an open protocol that is used by many manufacturers, to enable integrated control of systems that contain different brands of projectors.The Eco Filter has a replacement cycle of up to 12,000 hours, which reduces the hassle of maintenance. As an environmental consideration, the filter can be washed with water and reused. This projector also benefits from a liquid cooling system that directly cools the DLP chip to improve performance and enable operation up to 45C. This allows use in a wider variety of environments while stabilizing performance and keeping the unit quiet even in harsh conditions.

The district was formed on 1 April 1974, by the merger of the municipal borough of Royal Tunbridge Wells along with Southborough urban district, Cranbrook Rural District and most of Tonbridge Rural District.
Description of borough
The borough of Tunbridge Wells lies along the south western border of Kent, partly on the northern edge of the Weald, the remainder on the Weald Clay plain in the upper reaches of the rivers Teise and Beult.
The North Weald area
The restricted area immediately to the north and west of Tunbridge Wells lies within the Weald. The presence of sandstone outcrops and the chalybeate springs, together with old workings, point to ancient iron manufacturing in the area.
Weald Clay plain
This plain is part of the so-called Garden of England, named for its extensive orchards and former hop farms, sheep and cattle. A string of villages lies across this plain, from Brenchley and Horsmonden to Benenden and Headcorn.
- Roads The main roads through the borough are the A21 London to Hastings road and in the east, the A229, which runs from the A21 at Hurst Green through Cranbrook to Maidstone.
- Railways The line of the former South Eastern Railway (SER) main line crosses the clay plain in an almost unbroken straight line between Redhill and Ashford, Kent. The SER line to Hastings passes through Tunbridge Wells; here there was once a further branch connection south-eastwards to Groombridge, and at Paddock Wood is the southern terminus of the Medway Valley Line to Maidstone.
Borough organisation
In the 2016 European Union referendum, Tunbridge Wells was the only district in Kent that voted to remain in the EU (54.89%).
Places of interest
Apart from Tunbridge Wells itself, places of interest in the Borough include:
- Bedgebury Pinetum
- Bewl Water reservoir near Lamberhurst for leisure water pursuits and outdoor conferences
- Sissinghurst Castle gardens: the home of Vita Sackville-West
- facilities for rock-climbing at the 'High Rocks', 2 miles west of Tunbridge Wells

Microsoft have finally released the firmware update for the Surface Pro (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=38826) that once installed and used with the Microsoft Surface Pro Ethernet Adapter (http://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/accessories/home#adapters) allows the device to support PXE boot and therefore can be booted over the network allowing network based installation of Windows.
Note this ONLY works with the Microsoft Surface Pro Ethernet Adapter as the driver has to be part of the UEFI firmware.

Hi LIZSULLIVAN10, the cruise lines require that the drink packages be purchased for each and every day of the cruise.
Posted by LIZSULLIVAN10
Can you purchase the drinks package daily or do you have to purchase it for the whole stay
Posted by glomarrone
No, I do not. For me it doesn't pay but everyone has to do the math for them. For some passengers, it is a good deal.
Posted by chrismor
It seems to be hard to do the math when it gives you no idea what the drinks cost without the package. $7? $10? $20? I don't think it will be worth to me, but having a clue how much I might want to budget for drinks would be nice.
Posted by Engee
I agree with chrismor. This only tells you how much you would be paying per drink if you purchased the package. What is really important is how much you would pay without the card as opposed to without it.

I wanted to get the Cheer package on my Carnival cruise but it's required that a members in your suite buy it, we have 2 non drinkers with us. We were even willing to down grade our room so we have 2 separate rooms. They wont let us do that either. I'm on a very set budget when I called and asked the price of drinks was told that alcoholic beverages cost anywhere from $10 or above each drink and when asking about the nonalcoholic drink package it doesn't included water (I don't drink soda) So I'm completely screwed both ways . I don't thinks that is right at all not sure what I'm gonna be able to drink.

Are you able to use your drink packages the day you board ship and the days in port? On a 7 day cruise how many days will you be able to use this?

Tough for me to make the quota for the break even.

Just did the math for Carnival cruise to Bermuda in Sept. A couple in a cabin must both purchase Cheers pkg which is $858.20 for both including the 18% tip automatically added. To break even, both must drink about 12-13 drinks per cabin(couple) assuming a $10 average drink. Sounds like a lot but we had that many on a Norwegian cruise in March. You drink more when cruising after all.

Keep in mind. Carnival cruise line does not allow the cheers package to be used on their private islands, even though they stick those Island bars with alcohol from the ship you are on. RCL does honor their drink package at their private island stops. Also, if you get free drinks at the casino #on RCL, you can go to the bar and order for free. In carnival, you have to be playing a casino game at the time of ordering your free drinks.

Hong Kong Cultural Celebration – Cheung Chau Bun Festival 2015
This festival has over 100 years of history
This year, huge crowd of travelers had descended upon this tiny island celebrating this wonderful mixture of Chinese customs, food, music, sport and colourful ceremonial parade that makes this festival one of the Hong Kong most tourist attractions.
In the colourful 'Piu Sik' (Floating Colours) Parade, one of the extraordinary highlights of the day, children dressed in the guises of traditional deities and modern celebrities, balance on poles and accompanied by gongs and lion dancers, appearing to float above the crowds in a carnival-like procession.
The hand-made Lucky Bun is a must-to-buy item for every traveler. The bun is stamped with red Chinese characters for peace and stability, and made of flour, sugar and water with one of three fillings (sesame, lotus and red bean).
