AUCTION CLOSING: The bidding on this Auction will close on Tuesday, August 27th at 12:30PM (CST).
This auction features EXTENDED BIDDING! This feature extends the bidding on a lot for FIVE minutes past the closing time, if a bid has been placed on that lot within the last FIVE minutes of the auction. It will remain open until there are no bids on that lot for FIVE minutes. This only affects lots with last minute bids. Any lot not bid on in the last FIVE minutes will continue to close at their normal times. An example would be if you were participating in an Online Auction that closed at 12:30 p.m and you placed your bid at 12:28 p.m. That lot would be extended until 12:33 p.m. and would keep extending FIVE minutes after each new bid is placed. It will stop extending when no bid had been placed for FIVE minutes.
This auction also features MAXIMUM BIDDING. When you place your MAX BID, the current bid price does not automatically go to your max bid. Someone else has to bid to increase the current price and the computer will automatically bid up to your max in the increments specified. If someone has already entered a MAX BID item you are bidding on, the system will automatically bid for you until you are the current high Bidder or you reach your MAX BID. If you have reached your MAX BID and are still not the current high Bidder, the system will give you the opportunity to enter another MAX BID. You may request out bid notices when registering for your online bidding account. You can choose to have them sent to your email, cell phone via text message or both. If you are not able to be around a computer/mobile device during the closing of the auction or receive and/or read your outbid notices, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND you enter your MAX BID when bidding. Your MAX BID would be considered the maximum amount you are willing to pay for your item. Please remember, you can always raise your max bid, but you CANNOT lower it. Be aware of this while bidding. If you have any questions please call us at 573-474-9295.
PREVIEW DATE & TIME: Preview will be Monday, August 26th from 3:00PM to 5:30PM at 9150 E. Owens School Rd., Hallsville, MO.

This week I organized the kitchen glasses cupboard. Unfortunately, this is a picture-less post since I never took a 'before' picture and my camera is not working for the 'after' shot.
This cupboard was the one that held our drinking glasses, the kids' sippy cups, our travel coffee mugs, the regular coffee mugs and countless water bottles. The water bottles were a MESS! They took up a ton of space and a lot of them were no longer being used (the non-BPA free Nalgenes, for example). So we took them out completely. I lowered the top shelf making a bit more room up there for our aluminum bottles and travel mugs with all their lids.
Next I cleaned out any coffee mugs that I didn't like using or looking at. To the Goodwill they went! And the center shelf is now left with just the mugs I love.
The bottom shelf was a lot easier. We actually have a shortage of drinking glasses due to a lot of them being broken over the years without being replaced because I can't find any I like. So this shelf was mostly just improved by me taking out the sippy cup pieces that didn't have matches. But it's all neat and organized in there now. We can actually find what we're looking for!
After all of that, I kind of expanded into cleaning out the coffee cabinet next-door to the glasses cabinet. It was easy to do since there were a few coffee cups lurking in there (my favorites). And since I moved them over with their friends where they belonged, space was freed up in there for all our teas. So coffee and tea are now together. The tea moved over from across the kitchen, near the stove and I was able to stash a few glass mixing bowls up there, giving me a head start on another item on the list, the lower kitchen appliance cabinet. That cabinet is so bad and such a big project, that I didn't dare tackle it this week, but at least I got a few bowls out of the way for when I do.
What did you organize this week? Where and how do you store your coffee supplies? Any tricks to share?

TNB: Jeff Lowe Invented the Sport
Climber Jeff Lowe invented modern mixed climbing and inspired generations of climbers, including the alpinist Ueli Steck, who recently onsighted Octopussy, 20 years after Lowe's historical ascent.
Not many people can claim to have invented a sport. James Naismith can put his name on basketball, but he is on a short
list. Even non-mainstream specialty activities such as traditional climbing, ice climbing and even sport climbing simply evolved growing from singular
organisms to the complex animals that thrive on the cliffs today. John Gill can take credit for advancing bouldering, introducing chalk and applying
a U.S. grading system, but climbers were prowling about Fontainebleau as early as 1874 and before WW II, used the blocs as training apparatus for Himalayan
Jeff Lowe is the only person I can think of who outright did something new. In 1994, he—same as the thousand or so droogs who had gone before him—climbed a sliver of ice behind the Fang at the Vail amphitheater. But, instead of
lowering once the ice terminated at a rock wall capped by a 10-foot horizontal roof, he paved new ground by punching out the ceiling, tossing figure
4s in crampons and camming his ice tools in cracks and hooking them on edges. At the end of the roof, he spun around, hopped cat-like onto a free-hanging
ice dagger and scampered to the top.
Octopussy (M8) wasn't the first time anyone had dry tooled, but it was the first instance where someone had (at least on record) gone ice climbing
and deliberately minimized the importance of the ice, a notion then as abstract as skiing without snow.
A sport was born.
The mind of Jeff Lowe has been a fertile field. He gave us the tuber belay device, the soft-shell jacket, then, at Vail, demonstrated what we now know
as "modern mixed." Twenty years later, routes of this ilk are as plentiful as icicles, although the latter are no longer essential to the game, annoying
Mixed climbing now has a World Cup circuit where Olympic-caliber athletes swing from buckets of ice (in a column last year I called these "trash buckets;" I regret the error) suspended from chains, and in a separate event they race pell-mell
up ice walls, hands and feet churning as if to out swim a school of sharks.
As another sign of the sport's acceptance, many regional events such as this past weekend's Ouray Ice Festival hold mixed comps. Climbers from around the world train even in the summer for a chance at glory (and in the
case of Ouray, for a piece of $9,000) on a plywood wall with rubber holds.
still a fledgling and struggling industry, the manufacture and sale of specialized gear such as fruit boots has taken permanent root. Surprisingly—and
to the horror of certain sport climbers and boulderers—mixed climbing will even be shown off at the Sochi Olympics that begin in about a month.
So, somebody out there thinks that climbing rock with ice tools is legit, and we have Jeff Lowe to thank for that. In a nod to Lowe's creation, this past
week the Swiss alpinist Ueli Steck repeated Octopussy. This was nearly 20 years to the day after Lowe first climbed the M8. Steck says that he was 18 in 1994, and at the time it was impossible for him to comprehend ever doing the climb. The route, he says, inspired him to train hard. Now, Steck has onsighted the route. He didn't find it difficult—this is the guy fresh back from the South Face of Annapurna—as much as visionary and "a part of history."
Lowe, who is stricken with an unidentified degenerative disease, is back in Vail and received a visit from
Steck. "When you see him," said Steck in his post on Petzl's website, "you think to yourself, I need to enjoy things as much as possible now, that
it's all a blessing, and that the situation can change quickly. You can still feel his passion. His is a wonderful lesson in courage that inspires
great respect."

Many people falsely assume that anyone can teach an indoor cycling class as long as they are in shape, have a great personality and spend a ton of time on their tunes. Plenty of fitness enthusiasts are diving in because let's face it, from the outside it looks like all you have to do is pedal, push and repeat! How hard can it be?
Well, that's just the thing. It's not hard to teach a cycling class but if you truly want to provide the best experience for the widest variety of participants with the most opportunity for success, there's more to it than meets the eye. It doesn't have to be hard to pull off a fabulous class, but it's essential that you learn where to put your time and energy to build a class that everyone can enjoy. Let's take a look.
The number one way to prepare to be a great cycling instructor is with specialized education. I am bothered by the apparent lack of attention spent on the education side of indoor cycling. Sure, there are tons of fitness pros getting their sweat on during full-day training workshops and at conventions across the globe. But there are just as many people being hired because they ride a bike outside, are fit, or have taken cycling classes or other group fitness classes for years. While each of these experiences will certainly lend to creating a great instructor, there is still a reason to necessitate a vetted cycling training before you put the mic on.
In cycling trainings, you learn the differences between riding a bike that goes nowhere and one that actually transports you from point A to point B (yes, there are similarities, but there are also differences that are important to consider when programming and instructing). Second, you learn about form and technique specific to the indoor riding community and ways to get that information across to a large number of participants who do not participate in the outdoor sport. Lastly, you must spend some time learning about group teaching techniques in this unique environment. How do you lead a group of people, in the dark, with loud music and varying levels of athleticism?
While you might think you can figure this out on your own or learn from going to other popular instructors' classes, I would beg you to reconsider investing eight hours of your time into building a solid foundation. Pick a reputable company with history, trusted voices and loads of resources. You may know a lot of what will be discussed, but guaranteed the nuggets you walk away with will make all the difference in the world to you and your participants.
Most instructors think if they put all their time and energy into music, the rest will fall into place! This is when I use two movies most of us have seen to illustrate the difference between a one-hit wonder cycling instructor and a fitness professional with longevity in indoor cycling.
Both Slumdog Millionaire and Grease were undoubtedly memorable movies. But one of these films won tons of awards and the other, none (that I know of)! What's the difference? We love them equally, but for different reasons. Grease had great music, great costumes, great personalities and a fun story line. But, once you strip that all away, it was not a screenplay you'd want to put on your iPad and read over and over. Compare that to Slumdog Millionaire, which had all the same (music, costumes, personality), but meat to its storyline that was told in a sophisticated, engaging way — from start to finish.
The same is true for cycling classes. You can have a great playlist, look great playing the part, be fun and tell some great stories, but if there's no solid foundation (storyline) or solid coaching to engage your riders, you'll have a hard time outdoing yourself week in and week out (remember Grease II?)
First, focus on the how of your ride: technique, leg speed, intensity and duration. Then, focus on the why: because of how you tell them, the journey you take them on or the music you play that motivates them. The content is much more important to get right, before the bells and whistles that will make it uniquely your own. (P.S. you'll learn about this in a good cycling training!)
Remember, above all, that cycling is one of the only group activities that is truly an equal opportunity. It's low impact, it's variable intensity, it's sans choreography (hopefully), it's for the rhythmically challenged and it's easy to cheat (OK, maybe that shouldn't be a reason…).
But when classes continue to be approached from a harder, faster, stronger mentality with an instructor who plays follow the leader (1/2 turn, stand up, sit down, faster!), the success factor starts to drop for a large number of people who need this format.
Sure, you can continue to tell people to take it at their own pace, remind them that the resistance knob is up to them, and so on, but unless you make it OK to "find your own way," they won't. They'll just find their ways out the door and never come back. Coaching is a crucial skill to learn when teaching indoor cycling — more so in this class than almost any other.
Program from an intensity perspective because that's universal! Everyone knows what to do and expect if you say easy, moderate, hard and really hard. And everyone is capable of achieving these intensities, but what it looks like to the newbie and the veteran is very different. Deliver your class in a way that ensures everyone can get to easy, moderate, hard, and really hard the way they need to. The resistance knob is the key: People must be given the rest of the details (the leg speed, the position on the bike and the duration followed by the intensity) and allowed to determine what to do with that knob!
The bottom line is that we want broad-based appeal: more people in fitness, not more people competing in the cycling studio. Cycling is a definite win for everyone if it is taught appropriately. And as you probably realize, that is way harder than it looks. But once you master the basics of class design and delivery, it just gets easier. Happy pedaling!

(ARA) - Millions of American kids come home to or leave an empty house every day. Yet many don't fit the stereotype of a "latchkey kid" - a child in a single parent household whose custodial parent is at work when the school day ends or begins.
"Today, a kid is as likely to come home alone because his parents are off shuttling siblings to football and dance practice as he is because one or both parents are still at work," says home security expert Jeff Butler, of Protect America.
The practice of a child entering, staying or leaving a home alone spans income levels, ethnicity and family composition. It seems self-care of school-aged children is here to stay. Increasingly, parents are using an existing technology - home security systems - to keep tabs on their home-alone children.
"In the early days of home security, the systems basically were designed to just keep the bad guys out," says Butler. "Now, many parents are also using them to ensure their children safely enter and stay in the house." Home security systems like Protect America's GE wireless system allow users to program multiple access codes, receive phone alerts when the system is armed or disarmed, check the status of the system from any phone, arm or disarm the system from any phone, even communicate from inside the house directly to the monitoring service.
If your child ever enters, stays in or leaves your home when no adult is present, be sure he or she knows how to do so safely.
* Every child should memorize his own full name and address, and home, work and cell phone numbers of each parent. Also keep this information posted next to the phone at home. If your child is too young to memorize this information, he may be too young to be home alone - for any time.
* Teach your child to be observant when she returns to the house. If a door or window is ajar, or she has any reason to suspect someone has been in the house that shouldn't be, have her call you, then wait at the nearby home of a neighbor who's agreed to act as a safe house.
* Caution your child to never answer the doorbell or telephone when they are home alone. Likewise, set a ground rule that he or she must never play outside the house in the front or back yards when no one else is home.
* Be sure he or she knows how to disarm and arm your home security system. Program your control panel to page you when your child enters or leaves the house, and arms or disarms the system. If your child forgets to rearm the system, or tends to forget to secure the locks, you can call him with a personal reminder.
*Consider adding a 2-Way Voice feature to your existing home security system, or installing a new system that has 2-Way Voice Monitoring - like Protect America's GE wireless security system. The optional 2-Way Voice feature enables your monitoring facility to communicate directly through the control panel with a child or any family member in the home anytime that an alarm is triggered. This same feature also allows you as the parent, to call into your system and be able to listen to any activity or speak to your child or other family members who are home at that time.
"Many parents realize that home security systems can not only keep the bad guys out, but help keep their children safely inside the home when parents can't be there with them," says Butler.

The Episcopal Church has to clarify God's official position on abortion – at least so says a priestess of the church, who claims that a proposed rite for post-abortive women conflicts with church theology and that the Deity "rejoices" when women elect to abort their children, reports Peter J. Smith, LifeSiteNews.com.
Rev. Nina Churchman wrote a letter to Episcopal Life Online expressing her outrage upon learning that her church has developed a healing rite for post-abortion women sorrowful over their abortion that seems to have language alluding to "sin" and "guilt."
Churchman said she "was sickened to discover that the rite for abortion is couched wholly in terms of sin and transgression."
The priestess also took particular umbrage with the words, "I seek God's forgiveness" and the words "God rejoices that you have come seeking God's merciful forgiveness."
"The Episcopal Church, by resolution, has long held that women have the freedom to choose an abortion," asserted Churchman. "It is not considered a sin."
The Episcopal Church's "long held" position permitting abortion dates back to 1967, when the church began to lobby for abortion in limited cases (i.e. rape, incest, fetal deformity, health of the mother), which by 1994 had become a full-blown defense of a right to an abortion. The church's previous position on abortion, had lasted much longer. As late as 1958 the church had expressed an unequivocal defense of over 1900 years of Christian tradition against abortion, stating, "Abortion and infanticide are to be condemned."
"Women should be able to mourn the loss of an aborted fetus without having to confess anything," declared Churchman.
"God, unlike what the liturgy states, also rejoices that women facing unplanned pregnancies have the freedom to carefully choose the best option – birth, adoption or abortion – for themselves and their families."
"The wording of this liturgy focuses solely on guilt and sin instead of the grief and healing that may accompany a very difficult but appropriate decision to terminate a pregnancy," said Churchman.
Instead Churchman expressed her determination that the church should reject the rite at the next General Convention and do away with the references to "sin" and "guilt."
The proposed post-abortion healing service had been the idea of Georgette Forney, president of Anglicans for Life, who had obtained an abortion when she was 16. Forney had asked the church to create a healing service for women like herself seeking healing, and the Episcopal General Convention had approved the development of the project.
The result was a rite addressing "the pastoral needs of women and men and who have experienced miscarriage, abortion or other trauma in the childbearing or childbirth process" in a book called, "Rachel's Tears, Hannah's Hopes: Liturgies and Prayers for Healing from Loss Related to Childbearing and Childbirth."
The 2009 General Convention of the Episcopal Church will consider and vote on the rite when it convenes July 8-17 in Anaheim, California.
Report from the Christian Telegraph
NOTE: My Thoughts on the Above Article
The above article surely highlights some serious issues relating to the Episcopal Church in America, from a Biblical perspective.
1. The area of church leadership is of concern, even leaving out the issue of priests, what is a woman doing in the place of leadership within the church. Surely the Scriptures are clear on this.
2. The Episcopal Church in America has landed on the wrong side of the abortion debate. Abortion is a crime against humanity and a sin. I wouldn't have thought this was a difficult position to reach for Bible believing Christians, but perhaps that is the real essence of the problem – perhaps these are not Bible believing Christians?

Happy Wednesday! First off I'd like to share my finished W.I.P.s :
On the left is the very cute Easter Rabbit pattern I tested for the very talented Tacha. He is adorable, a fun sewing project and a wonderful gift idea for all the little bunnies in your life. She'll have the pattern for sale in her Etsy shop soon, and while you're there, check out her "Animal Friends" fabric book patterns. They are really cute and fun to make! What you don't see in the picture (uh, because I forgot to snap it!) is that he has a zippered-back and you can stow sweets and surprises in his tummy! Guppy was a little frustrated that it was going in a package and traveling far away…little does she know that if I'd managed to keep it a secret it was going to be for her!
In the middle is the finished my most recent Black Apple doll. I made the legs and arms extra long because they are easier to grasp with baby-hands. I like this pattern, but I keep changing it each time I use it. I just need to draft my own pattern I guess!
On the right is the first stuffed animal/doll I ever had – a "Three Little Pigs" cloth storybook is under his vest. I've had that on my shelf since Guppy was born, and it's got me thinking recently : how fun would that be? To make a cloth doll and have a quilted two or three page story built into her body or clothes? I need to give this more thought…it's like an "Idea In Progress".
Have you gotten started on this month's Stitch-Along? I've traced the pattern onto some fabric, but haven't gotten much further than that. I chose a cream-coloured cotton twill for the embroidered part, but I'm not sure what I want to use for the backing fabric. Time to raid the stash. I'd like to give these to Guppy so I'm having to work on the sly…not always easy in a tiny apartment!
Since I've got you're attention I'd like to share this Craftivism opportunity with you! I know many of you are masters of the knitting and crochet world. I hope to someday join you, but for now, I'm just watching from the sidelines…
Anyway, I read about The Mother Bear Project on WhipUp, and it sounds like such an amazing project I just had to give them a mention here. This non-profit based in the U.S. provides crocheted and knitted bears to children in emerging countries who have been affected by HIV/AIDS. To some it might not seem like much, but I think that giving some handmade love to a child, showing them you care and that they do matter even if they are strangers, well, it's the bee's knees.
You can also read a very touching story (your eyes will get misty at the end) about a kick-ass woman named Phyllis Schmidt who has knit 100 bears for the project, and has started her second batch of 100. Oh, did I mention Ms. Schmidt is 93 years-old? I hope I am that cool when I hit my 90s.
There's also a handful of Mother Bear Project knitting groups in the U.S. to check out, but even if you don't knit, there are other ways you can help (donating materials, money, etc.), so get to it people!
Do you have any other links or stories about Craftivism opportunities? Let me know, I'd be happy to post them here. Have a creative week, and be sure to check in with the other Wipsters and our W.I.P. Wednesday Flickr Group for more inspiration!

COLUMBIA, Md. – A man carrying a shotgun opened fire at a busy shopping mall in suburban Baltimore on Saturday, killing two employees of a skate shop and then himself as panicked shoppers ran for cover, police said. Five others were injured.
Police were still trying to determine the identity and motive of the gunman who killed a man and a woman, both in their 20s, at a skate shop called Zumiez on the upper level of the Mall in Columbia, a suburb of both Baltimore and Washington.
Witnesses described hearing gunshots and screaming as panicked shoppers ducked into nearby stores and hid behind locked doors. Many found cover in stockrooms and barricaded themselves until the arrival of police, who searched store to store. By late afternoon, the mall had been cleared of shoppers and employees.
Howard County Police Chief William J. McMahon said at a news conference that authorities had difficulty identifying the gunman because of concerns he might be carrying explosives and were proceeding with an "abundance of caution."
"We do not know yet what caused the shooting incident," he said. "We do not have a motive."
Someone called 911 at around 11:15 a.m. to report a shooting at the mall. Police responded to the scene within 2 minutes and found three people dead – including the apparent gunman near a gun and ammunition – either inside or outside the shop, which sells skateboards, clothing and accessories. McMahon said police were confident there was a single gunman.
Police identified the victims as 21-year-old Brianna Benlolo of College Park, Md., and 25-year-old Tyler Johnson of Ellicott City, Md. Both worked at Zumiez.
Howard County General Hospital said it had treated and released five patients. One patient had a gunshot wound, while at least three other patients sustained other injuries.
The mall is at the center of the town and typically opens at 10 a.m. on Saturdays. It was busy with shoppers and employees when the shots rang out before noon.
Joan Harding of Elkridge, Md., was shopping with her husband, David, for a tiara for their granddaughter's 18th birthday. She said she heard something heavy falling, followed by gunshots and people running.
"My husband said, 'Get down!' and the girl that worked in the store said, 'Get in the back,"' Harding said. That is where they hid until police searched the mall and signaled it was safe to leave.
The mall was closed to the public as police looked in each store for people who might still be hiding, McMahon said. It will remain closed at least through the night.
McMahon said it wasn't clear whether the gunman and victims knew each other. He said officers did not fire any shots when they arrived at the scene. Asked if the gunman shot himself, the chief answered: "That is certainly what it appears to be at this point."
Tonya Broughton of Silver Spring, Md., was with a friend getting facials for a "girls' morning out," she said. "The only thing I heard was all the people running and screaming and saying 'There's a shooter! There's a shooter!"' she said.
Wearing a gel face mask, she and her friend hid in a Victoria's Secret store.
People were directed out of the mall and into a parking lot, where some boarded a bus and others walked toward their cars. Some people were seen crying. McMahon said detectives were interviewing witnesses as they emerged from the mall.
Laura McKindles of Columbia works at a kiosk in the mall. She said she heard between eight and 10 gunshots, followed by people running and screaming. She ran into the backroom of a perfume store and locked the door.
Allison Cohen, who works at the apparel store Lucky Brand Jeans, said she always felt safe at the mall.
"I truly never thought something like this would ever happen here," Cohen said. "It's really, really shocking."
Associated Press writers Jessica Gresko and Martin Di Caro in Washington contributed to this report.

About that stunning defeat.
Conventional Wisdom, that self-righteous propagandist, has it that Republican House Majority Leader Eric Cantor's trouncing by an academic, tea-sipping nobody marks the end of the GOP establishment.
The tea party candidate crushed Cantor, they say. The old-guard Republican Party is toast! It's over. Finito.
And those were the Democrats talking.
Funny thing is, the tea party folks had been saying more or less the same thing, for exactly the same reason. It fit the narrative that served both groups. The tea party was losing its power to overthrow the titans. Witness the primary victories of a couple of old-timer targets, South Carolina's Lindsey Graham and Kentucky's Mitch McConnell.
The Democratic Party was losing its narrative that the tea party wacko-birds control the GOP.
Thus, Dave Brat, the Republican nominee for Cantor's seat, was a gift from Google. Or God. But I repeat myself. The narrative is back, baby!
In the nation's capital, the mourning for Cantor was over faster than a Rick Perry gay fundraiser. It is an awesome day — or something — when Nancy Pelosi and Ted Cruz are grinning about the same state of affairs. You don't know whether to signal Scotty to beam you up or whistle for Toto.
The truth is, the tea party will be lucky to oust Mississippi Sen. Thad Cochran in a primary runoff, though it would hardly be considered a rout. Cochran has been on the run lately, stumbling over a series of errors and literally dashing out the back door of one event to evade CNN's Dana Bash.
And, as though the South needed one more anecdote to convince the rest of nation that something seriously strange has contaminated the region's DNA, Cochran recently reminisced fondly of his days doing 'all kinds of indecent things with animals,' when he was just a young lad visiting the state's Pine Belt.
'I know some of you know what that is,' he told the Hattiesburg, Miss., audience.
Oh, do tell. On second thought, oh, don't.
Two victories, assuming the second, hardly bestow bragging rights on the tea party. Nor, consequently, would they bolster the Democratic narrative that the tea party has conquered the GOP.
Also, let's not forget, Cantor wasn't an old establishment guy. He was one of the 'Young Guns,' the title of the book in which he, Kevin McCarthy and Paul Ryan featured themselves as the new generation of conservative leadership. Those are some highfalutin words to live up to.
Reality check: People who self-identify as 'young guns' are setting themselves up to get shot down. It isn't that they can't gun-sling with the best of them; it's that they feel the need to tell you they can.
Young gun, eh? We'll see about that.
Indeed, the tea party didn't really support the Republican Brat (how delicious is that name?), who raised a measly $231,000 to Cantor's $5.7 million. Conservative, tea-party-leaning Republicans ultimately may have supported him, in part thanks to talk radio promoters, but they weren't expecting Brat to win any more than he was.
Brat, an economics professor at Randolph-Macon College, was so surprised that he has yet to think out his platform. Other than water-cooler talks at the gym about ethical systems, free markets and the rule of law (read, 'no amnesty'), he hasn't really nailed down his policy positions.
So MSNBC's Chuck Todd discovered upon asking Brat on Wednesday about raising the minimum wage. Sort of breezy with his answer, saying he didn't have a 'well-crafted response,' and 'you can't make up wage rates,' Brat explained that he didn't get much sleep the night before.
Poor Zachary Werrell, Brat's 23-year-old campaign manager, who was so overwhelmed that he couldn't find time to return a call to House Speaker John Boehner and had to scramble to hire a communications staffer. In the meantime, Werrell uttered the saddest words in political history:
'We're not going to be making any statements until we get professional PR help,' he said in an interview with Politico.
Brat, in other words, isn't quite ready for the prime-time slot he's expected to win in November. But he had something Cantor didn't have — a ground game. Brat's lack of political sophistication served him well. Instead of watching polls, he knocked on doors. As for Cantor, the polls showed him winning, so why bother to press flesh?
Here's another reality check: It's always about the ground game.
This is the real lesson of Cantor's stunning defeat.
Sometimes a loser is just a loser.

A little boy's big ordeal: Dog bites 4-year-old's face
One minute, 4-year-old Jace Britton was a happy-go-lucky preschooler. The next, his face was so chewed up he needed nearly 170 stitches.
The West Bloomfield, N.Y., boy was attacked at a picnic Aug. 18 by a 120-pound husky-Labrador mix. Now, Jace is the focus of a community fund-raiser to help pay for his medical needs.
Jace's parents, Addie and Roger Britton, went shopping for their son's school clothes the morning of the accident. They left the boy with his maternal grandparents, who asked if Jace could accompany them to a picnic at the home of a mutual friend.
With permission granted, the grandparents went to Bloomdale Trailer Park to enjoy the afternoon. Bob Proctor and his large dog lived in Space 65 next door to the hosts. In keeping with the trailer park's rules, his pet was tied up.
Jace's grandpa was chatting with Proctor, and Jace was playing across the yard.
According to the victim's family, the boy decided to walk over to grandpa, and when he was a few feet away the dog lunged at him, puncturing his neck and face.
"It was a big dog," Jace recalled. "His name is Ruppy the Puppy, but he's not a puppy."
Asked what he did after the dog bit him, the child said, "Nothing. I dropped myself into the grass and cried."
An ambulance took Jace to Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester. His surgery lasted two hours and 17 minutes. He spent two days in the hospital and another day next door at the Ronald McDonald House, a place for families with sick and injured children.
Meanwhile, there's a court case for the adults and, for the child, a medical ordeal.
Authorities said the 7-year-old dog has no record of viciousness and is now quarantined at the Humane Society. Proctor was cited by animal control officers for having an unlicensed, unvaccinated dog, and also, the Brittons filed a dangerous-dog complaint Aug. 21.
West Bloomfield Town Court Justice William F. Harvey Sr. will decide the dog's fate Sept. 24.
As for Jace, "he's angry," said his mom, Addie. "He's house-bound, he can't go out and play because of the risk of infection. He misses out on birthday parties, he misses his friends."
Jace doesn't like a daily routine that includes two rounds of wound care, taking antibiotics and codeine for pain, and not being able to scratch his wounds. His eyes tear up, and his parents frequently dab at his eyes with sterile swabs. They are trying to keep him from touching his wounds so they heal properly and don't become infected.
They are stocked up on supplies: ointments, bandages, scissors, hand sanitizer, hydrogen peroxide and more.
But the bills are another matter. Addie, 24, is a nanny and home-health aide, but she has no health insurance. Roger, 32, is unemployed. They just applied for Medicaid and are hoping they'll qualify.
After the accident, Addie didn't have money to buy Jace button-up or zip-up shirts. The pullovers he had interfered with his wounds. She went to the Community Support Shoppe, a little thrift store located in a strip mall in Bloomfield.
She asked the manager if she could have a few shirts for Jace. She was told there are too many people who try to take advantage of the charity. Addie showed the photos from the operating room, and the manager helped them and said a prayer asking for mercy for Jace when he goes to Head Start preschool Sept. 19. It asked that children treat him well.
"People can be so cruel, especially children," his dad, Roger, said. "They'll just say 'Ew, what happened to your face?'"
Addie said a little neighbor girl saw Jace and said, "Looking at you makes me want to puke."
Jace faces at least two more operations, not including plastic surgery afterward. "That means more stitches, more black eyes, more wound care," Addie said. "I feel so bad for him."
The fund to help with Jace's medical needs is being established by the New Hope Fellowship in Bloomfield. Any contributions should be sent to the church's Community Support Shoppe, c/o Jace Britton, P.O. Box 131, Bloomfield, NY 14469.
