December 28, 2020 December 30, 2020 ~ VanJam 80s v. 90s Music War - 50 Album Battles to See Which Decade Rules! ~ Leave a comment
Well here we are at number one, and what a doozy it is. A grunge band vs. a punk band. Bands that were angry. Bands that rebelled. Bands that looked cooler than you ever could.
At the same time, bands that proved you can rant and rave while still being melodic and catchy. Both of these albums are great fun to listen to. Also, check out those iconic covers – bass-smashing Elvis tribute and baby dick chasing money. Bad ass, all the way.
Well chosen, Rolling Stone. Very rock n' roll.
I confess I didn't listen to Nevermind much at the time (Soundgarden, Hole and Screaming Trees were my go-to grunge bands), and have never listened to it since, so I was pretty much coming in clean. And, to be honest, I had modest expectations. I've always had this nagging suspicion that Nirvana was a little over-rated and their legacy was enshrined in large part because Kurt Cobain made sure the world would never see him grow old.
But Nevermind surprised me. I had forgotten how damn catchy the thing is. Nirvana gave off an aura of a band that didn't give a shit what you thought or how they sounded – that they were just making noise to serve some inner demon and you could come along for the ride or not. But the sheer craftsmanship of these songs belies that notion. These are meticulously constructed tunes – beautifully delivered by three masterful players.
Turns out I remember this album way better than I thought too. "Smells Like Teen Spirit", "In Bloom", "Come As You Are", "Breed", "Lithium", "Polly" – one classic, unforgettable song after another to transport you back to the days of flannel and angst.
Let's single out "Territorial Pissings" as the song to highlight – one of the few songs I didn't remember particularly well coming into this analysis but was thrilled to (re)discover. It opens with Krist Novaselic singing (very badly) the lyrics to the 1967 Youngbloods "Get Together":
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
He would explain later: "Maybe some baby boomers will hear that and wonder what happened to those ideals."
And then the song kicks in – two pounding, driving minutes like a freight train through your brain with the same words shouted over and over: "Gotta find a way/to find a way/when I'm there!!!" The thing comes to an abrupt screeching halt, seemingly because the band was too exhausted and cranky to continue. Awesome. "Smells Like Teen Spirit" will always be the iconic representation of grunge (rightfully so, I suppose), but "Territorial Pissings" is its darker and perhaps more interesting cousin.
So, my apologies to Kurt and the boys – I underestimated you. Nevermind is truly great.
But you're still going to get thumped like Paul Simonon's bass.
As fantastic as Nevermind is, London Calling is astounding. Where Nevermind has pretty much just one sound (with loud and quiet variations), London Calling delivers a mind-boggling variety of sounds and genres (reggae, rockabilly, ska, New Orleans R&B, pop, lounge jazz, and hard rock). And while Cobain's lyrics focus almost exclusively on his misery, Clash writers Joe Strummer and Mick Jones blended thoughts of their own insecurities and fears into an album full of political statements about unemployment, racial conflict, social inequality and how it sucks to be an adult. The Clash had an awful lot on their minds.
And every song is a pure gem, no exceptions. Which is a hell of a feat for a double album. They are so consistently solid, in fact, that I suspect if you took 100 fans and told them all to write down their three favourite songs on the album, and then made a master list, every song would be equally represented.
Here are a few of mine:
There's the gorgeous "The Card Cheat", about a card player whose time has run out, in which the band recreates Phil Spector's Wall of Sound by double-tracking everything. Apparently the sound was too complex to replicate on stage so they never played it live.
There's falsely jaunty "Lost in the Supermarket", which, lyrically, is perhaps the most like Nevermind, in that it is more personal than political; about the shallow consumerism of life in the suburbs.
And there's "Death or Glory" of which. Rick Anderson of AllMusic said "this song features the best and most satisfying chord progression and melody the Clash ever came up with". It's also a vicious shot at rock stars who sell out, featuring the lovely line: "He who fucks nuns will later join the church." Amen.
Such quips aside, perhaps the album is too likable considering this was supposed to be a punk band.
In their write-up about the album, Rolling Stone relays a story from Joe Strummer, who heard from a distressed German skinhead, who said, "My grandmother likes 'Wrong 'em Boyo'. What have you done to me?" Strummer remembers thinking: "Is he right? Maybe we should have offended her more." Maybe. But "Wrong 'em Boyo" is delicious at any age.
Speaking of Strummer, I love his vocals, changing things up, playing characters. Sometimes he sounds like he's just making stuff up on the spot ("Jimmy Jazz"), sometimes he sounds drunk ("The Right Profile"). It's playful but I think it's also far more calculated than it comes across. Everything on this album is purposeful.
If you want to boil this battle down to one song, let's talk about closers. London Calling wraps up with "Train in Vain", a perfect pop song and one of the catchiest break up songs ever (fun side note – it was added to the album so late it didn't make it on the cover). Nevermind, on the other hand, ends with hidden track "Endless, Nameless". I'm all for noise and rage, but that thing is unpleasant to the point of unlistenable. Thank goodness the novelty of hidden tracks didn't last.
WINNER: The Clash, London Calling (5 points)

80s: 25

Brac-i-OMG! You'll love this take on the Italian classic.
In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs, garlic, Pecorino Romano cheese, parsley, 1 tbsp. olive oil, and 1/4 tsp. fresh ground black pepper.
Between large sheets of waxed paper, with flat side of meat mallet or heavy skillet, pound steak to even 1/2-inch thickness.
Spread crumb mixture over steak in even layer; press into meat.
Starting at long side, roll steak into long cylinder, enclosing mixture completely. (Some breadcrumbs may spill out.) With butcher's twine or kitchen string, tie roll tightly at 1-inch intervals.
Place roll in center of 18x12-inch jelly roll pan.
Rub remaining 2 tbsp. olive oil and 1/4 tsp. salt and pepper all over steak, including the bottom so it doesn't stick. Scatter tomatoes around steak roll.
Roast 25-27 minutes, or until thermometer inserted at thickest part reads 130° F.
Let steak stand in pan 10 minutes to rest for easier slicing.
Remove and discard twine; cut roll crosswise into 1/2-inch slices. Serve meat slices with roasted Glorys®. Enjoy!

Mike Preston: Timing of Ravens' John Harbaugh announcement curious with huge game looming Saturday
By Mike Preston
The Ravens announced Friday night that John Harbaugh will be the head coach in 2019 and the team is working on a contract extension for the future.
The announcement came at 7 p.m. and apparently caught a number of coaches and team officials off guard. Maybe it would have been better if owner Steve Bisciotti would have tweeted it out.
It's such an unprecedented announcement the night before a big game. The Ravens play the Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday in a game that will help determine if they make the playoffs this season. The Ravens have been to the postseason only one time in the previous five seasons under Harbaugh, who has been the head coach since 2008.
It's hard to figure out why the Ravens made the announcement at this time with two games remaining in the 2018 regular season. It's apparent the owner and head coach had been talking. Maybe Bisciotti wanted to take some pressure off the players and his coaching staff, letting them know they weren't playing for Harbaugh's job Saturday.
Maybe Harbaugh already had some feelers from other teams and Bisciotti wanted to squash any of those concerns. Or maybe the statement was in response to a recent Baltimore Sun column that suggested Harbaugh's status might be in jeopardy if he didn't advance deep into the playoffs.
Because the deal isn't finished, there is speculation that the negotiations might break down if the Ravens lose the final two games and don't make the playoffs. Who knows? Everything is still open to speculation.
Harbaugh has only one year left on his current deal, which ends after the 2019 season. An extension could be for one or two more years, which would avoid putting Harbaugh in a lame-duck situation for 2019.
Overall, it's a logical decision by the Ravens to keep Harbaugh. He is one of the top 10 head coaches in the NFL even though his team has only gone 48-46 since winning the Super Bowl at the end of the 2012 season.
His teams are always well-coached and organized, they play hard and he emphasizes team chemistry. Yet at the same time, the Ravens have been stuck in mediocrity ever since the team parted ways with top performers such as middle linebacker Ray Lewis, safeties Ed Reed and Bernard Pollard, and receiver Anquan Boldin.
Baltimore Ravens Insider
Want the inside scoop on the Ravens? Become a Ravens Insider and you'll have access to news, notes and analysis from The Sun.
If the Ravens had fired Harbaugh, they would have been making a fresh start. Veteran quarterback Joe Flacco isn't expected to play in Baltimore next season and assistant general manager Eric DeCosta will replace Ozzie Newsome as general manager at the end of this season.
But Bisciotti is a firm believer in loyalty and has been a strong supporter of rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson. Maybe he believes Jackson is the future of this franchise and the Ravens have a lot of young players to build around.
But the Ravens are taking a gamble by making the announcement at this point. They are still struggling in attendance with nearly 10,000 no-shows at each of the past two games.
Harbaugh has a lot of critics in Baltimore who believe the team is in need of change and a new direction. If they don't get into the playoffs, they will suffer again in ticket sales regardless of Jackson.
There are some who believe there weren't any strong candidates out there to replace Harbaugh, but that's false. The same thing was said about replacing former Ravens head coach Brian Billick after the 2007 season and the Ravens came up with Harbaugh.
There are always good candidates available. Only this time the Ravens decided to stay the course and keep Harbaugh around longer.
It's inconceivable that Bisciotti would make the same mistake he made in 2007, when he signed Billick to a four-year deal and then fired him a season later having to pay him $15 million for the remaining three years.

Freddy Fudd Pucker
Freddy Fudd Pucker (Tom Young) is originally from a small city at the edge of the earth called Dunedin, New Zealand. However, he has spent the last five years or so touring the world, playing hundreds of shows across Australasia, the USA and Europe. The last two years have seen him based in Berlin, Germany, focusing on a nearly constant European tour schedule. Freddy looks at touring as a way of cultivating not only a growing and loyal fan base but the very experiences and characters that make up his songs.
A one-boy-band of sorts, his live show consists of a guitar, banjo, distorted loops and samples, a suitcase bass-drum on one foot, a tambourine on the other and the howl of someone that refuses to grow into what he considers an ugly, modern idea of adulthood. With these tools he performs intensely lyrical songs wrapped in extremely fast rhythms and melodies.
With ethos firmly rooted in DIY music culture, Freddy believes the audience to be as integral to the show as the performer. Shows on recent UK and European tours have been described as 'communal exorcisms'. Things get sweaty, things get said, things get rowdy… As a result, no two shows are ever the same.
His growing reputation for being a high energy, extremely entertaining and unique performer has earned him support slots on recent European tours for legends such as CJ Ramone (USA), SNFU (Canada), La Vela Puerca (Uruguay) and Deer Tick (USA). In the past few years he has performed at festivals such as Glastonbury (UK), FunFunFunFest (Austin, TX), The Fest (Gainesville, FL) and Camp A Low Hum (NZ).
HOURGLASS WINE
His latest release, Hourglass Wine, is a 10 track offering of break-neck speed, emotive, folk songs. The bulk of the which revolve around the simultaneous, multi-instrumentation of one boy and his high-gain acoustic guitar, bass drum and voice.
Lyrically, the songs seem to be born out of a desire to restructure and rebuild dialogues often over-simplified in mass media. When listening to the album one picks up the fury and disillusion Freddy perhaps feels in this modern age of disinformation that shapes conversations around issues such as ecological catastrophe and the politics of international migration. Freddy pleads with the listener, and perhaps with himself, to search for a sense of self-worth beyond simply that of a consumer within an unmerciful, global economic system. The heavy lyrical content of Freddy's songs proves he is not afraid to explore complex ideas within his high-energy, strangely fun, punkrock influenced, folk music.

Reenactor Noah Lewis is Honored to Portray Artillerist Edward Hector
November 27th, 2018 History,News and Events
When Noah Lewis arrived for his first Christmas reenactment at Washington Crossing Historic Park, he wasn't wearing a regimental coat.
This was 15 years ago, and Noah had just gotten serious about being a reenactor.
A fellow reenactor had promised to bring him a regimental coat, but he didn't arrive. Noah couldn't stand the thought of missing out on the reenactment, even in the brutal cold, so he went ahead without one.
After Washington's speech, which Noah listened to while shaking from the cold, a spectator approached and noted that Noah was doing a great job of looking cold.
Since then, he's perfected his depiction. Noah's friends even call him "Ned," the nickname for the black artillerist and war hero that he portrays: Edward Hector.
"My perception of blacks at the time was that they were all either poor manual laborers or slaves," Noah says. "But as I learned about Hector, I realized that just wasn't true. It's quite possible that without their contribution, the Continental Army wouldn't have won."
Hector was, as Noah describes him, a free man, a hero of the Battle of Brandywine, and one of the first blacks to fiddle in Conshohocken.
"The neat thing about learning about Hector," Noah says, "is that it's like piecing together a jigsaw puzzle where you find that one elusive piece that brings it all together. It's a real honor to portray this man. Black contributors to our freedom really deserve proper credit."

Yes, I'll tally how many checks each president gets.
Yes, I'll tally the checks, but I'll also make some categories worth more than others by doubling, tripling, etc. a check in some categories.
No. Don't have time or am not interested enough to do so.
Obama 7 and Biden 5 (so far). Both Bush II and Trump get 0.
As a flat count, Bush 9, Obama 8, Biden 7, Trump 0. Didn't plan it that way, funny how it played out.
Economic management: Obama, hands down. I think Bush could have done this if the timing had been different...he simply ran out of days between the recession and his exit from office. But Obama earned the point.
Domestic accomplishments: Obama easily, this is where he shined, but I also had to give a point to Bush for returning our nation to a sense of normalcy after 9/11.
Diplomatic accomplishments: Bush, hands down. People will laugh, don't care. "You're either with us or you're against us." Overwhelmingly, especially in the early years, people were with us. Obama tried and people liked him, but he was ineffective because there was no "big stick" waiting. It was all just "speak softly."
Military: Bush, obviously.
Justice: Biden and Obama.
Crisis Management: Bush and Biden. I considered Obama, but I already gave him his point in economic management, and his management of Arab Spring & Syria was abysmal.
Integrity and Conduct: Bush, Obama, Biden. All three are outstanding people with good intentions, even if they vary in their approach.
Executive Appointments: Bush, Obama, Biden. All three did a good job creating a diverse cabinet that could cover their blind spots.
Agenda: I went with Biden, on the basis that he isn't facing the same hyper-level of partisan outrage that Bush, Obama, and Trump received. Most people are generally on board with what he's going for -- people aren't generally fighting him just for the sake of fighting him.
Avoiding mistakes: Bush, Obama, Biden. Have all three made mistakes? Of course. But not 1/10th as terribly as Trump did.
Party Leadership: Bush and Obama. I was proud to be a Republican under Bush. I was proud to be a Democrat under Obama. I'm not ashamed to be a Democrat under Biden -- but my partisanship is still more anti-Trump than pro-Biden. Biden's fine, I have no problem with him, but I'm not following him to the ends of the earth like I did with both Bush and Obama.
Popularity: Bush, Obama, Biden. Sure, Bush's popularity dipped for a bit, but "he's not Trump and doesn't have much good to say about Trump" has helped his image tremendously since then. Plus, the man spends his hours painting portraits of wounded soldiers and donates the money he receives from them.
If I had to weigh one of these as more important than the other, I'd probably triple the points for crisis management, which would make the total Bush 11, Biden 9, Obama 8. But I think I agree with my original ranking more, at least until Biden gets more time in office.
DakotaHale
Technically Bill Clinton is a 21st century president
Bush: 1
Obama: 6
Trump: 3
Biden: 4
Since I vote based on economics, and I approved of Trumps economic policy the most, Trump is probably slightly underweight in this ranking.
11 minutes ago, DakotaHale said:
I know. I usually include him in 21st century polls, but I excluded Clinton for two reasons: 1) He only served one year in the 21st century and, 2) Clinton would like win because he'd have the most cross over support ideologically.
Ideally, I'd include every president in this poll but it would take too long to type them all out.
Just now, Patine said:
Basing everyone on economics is so soulless, @DakotaHale. You've become a dedicated and zealous cultist of Mammon, and forsaken all truly human qualities, have you? 🤨
God wants you to be wealthy and successful (as long as it is your own and wasn't stolen from someone). The problem with wealth starts once you get greedy and view money as an idol and turn away from the Lord.
Out of all lessons in the Bible, to be wealthy I don't believe is one of them 😛 Not that it's inherently bad imo, just I don't think that's really a message in there.
21 minutes ago, Patine said:
I don't recall that appearing ANYWHERE in the Ministry of Christ, or the Ministries or Epistles of the Apostles. Every the mention of the issue takes a very dim view of the possessing of great wealth and the pursuit thereof, and praises austerity and giving up one's Earthly wealth to do good works, "without which faith is dead."
Just now, Hestia said:
The beautiful thing about the Bible is that many of the lessons are open to different interpretations. That's why I go to Bible study every Sunday to see the differences between my views on the Bible compared to my elders.
I would agree that hoarding wealth is greedy and unChristian. But I would also say that God wishes you to have a successful life, build wealth even, as long as you give a piece of the wealth to others (private charity/helping the disadvantaged is one of the recurring virtues in the Bible, something you need some wealth in order to do).
I always liked the quote by Carnegie, "I spent the first half of my life making money and the second half of my life giving it away to do the most good and the least harm" (don't necessarily endorse anything else he did, just liked the quote, and is what I intend to do with my wealth when I'm retired.)
In short, I think if you don't idolize money and put the pursuit of wealth over your morals and relationship with God I think it's not an immoral goal to have.
If you guys can find some verses on this topic I'd love to see them.

Probably so. I remember I did a poll using Clinton, Bush II, Obama, and Trump in the 270Soft forum. It was mainly the same people responding. The questions was who was better overall, or something like that. Clinton won because he had support from right and left people on the forum.
Biden (So far) - 10 (This likely falls by the end of his presidency).
Obama - 9
Bush - 1
Trump - 1
Goes with my general beliefs that Biden is on the path to be the best President of the 21st Century, while Bush and Trump are both pretty equal near the bottom of all-time Presidencies.
Edited May 1, 2021 by Rezi
What I fear, or at least suspect, is that Biden will at some time not long into his Presidency, cease to be the real executive power, de facto, and their will be a, "power behind the throne figure," (Harris, Pelosi, or someone else) - much like I believe there was strong evidence that Cheney was an eminence grease in the Bush Administration - or, at the very least, held very disproportionate power for an American Vice-President in a direct way - especially one not viewed as a potential heir-apparent.
@Patine is a right wing extremist!!!1!1!!!one
Lol jk. I also believe this to be true, for better or for worse.
13 hours ago, DakotaHale said:
Harris is no way comparable to Cheney, even if she does become the real power of the executive branch. She's probably less likely to be militaristic than Biden. She's probably more likely to be domestically liberal. The only real worry with her is regarding the Justice Department, which is her area of expertise.

I always found it ironic how the Biden/Harris campaign capitalized on the BLM protests and ran on a campaign of ending systemic racism/corruption when both of them are textbook examples of systemic racism and corruption (especially Harris, Biden's gotten better).
Yeah, so many things are politics, which makes it hard to actually get things done. Imagine what we could focus on if we could end systemic racism, find common ground on guns, abortion, etc., infrastructure, when territories can become states, voting laws etc. I think the common ground would be common sense if not for the superficial politics involved. A lot of things just allows allowing flexibility.
One idea I had--I know extreme anti-abortion people would hate it--but it might alleviate some of the tension is to get the federal government somewhat out of the state issue of abortion, but with one exception. Federal property in the state could have Planned Parenthood services, including reasonable cause for an abortion. This Federal Property service would be dictated by the executive branch, which means a Republican could choose to amend the federal abortion services, so long as they hold the presidency. They can also temporarily shut it down, and put something else in its place if they wish. Democrats could then undo it when they're president.
Basically, allowing these places on federal property in the states would allow states to do what they want on their property, while also deflating the argument by liberals and progressives that states should be forced to abide by liberal and progressive abortion laws.
Dobs
I will tender my report cards soon.
I'll start with the flat points and then move to the triplings and doublings
Economic Management: This is a relatively barren category as I can't recall a President who scores well on this front since George H. W. Bush. His son will come closest to scoring the point but TARP will unfortunately exclude him from all 3 points but will win him the point on a 2/3. Barack Obama's horrendous response to the Great Recession and ensuing weakest recovery in American history will make him ineligible. Donald Trump's Trade War and Protectionism will exclude him from the point but his agreement to Paul Ryan's tax cut bill is a positive in his favor. His record deficit spending will also hurt him immensely. Joe Biden is likely to fail as spectacularly as his predecessor given his penchant for extreme bouts of budgetary diarrhea already.
Domestic Achievements: George W. Bush did some good on the home front. However, his expansion of entitlement spending and the Patriot Act is going to disqualify him from the point. Barack Obama is also going to conspicuously fail for lack of anything decent. Trump will do the same and Biden has not impressed me thus far. Here, I consider heavily the extent to which each President respected the Constitutional balance of power, something which seems to get worse with each successive administration.
Obamna: 0
Trunk: 0
Bye-don: 0
Adjusted:
Bush: 3 (+1)
Diplomatic Achievements: This is where we begin to pick up again. Bush exemplified a leader of the free world. Domestically, he fell short, but diplomatically he excelled. Barack Obama did the same. Both of them will score the flat point for their performance here. Bush for leading the coalition of nations against an Axis of Evil and Barack Obama for his admirable relations with Europe and the laudable Iran Nuclear Deal. Trump will fail with prejudice for how he isolated allies and allowed enemies to play him like a fiddle. This is one of the most embarassing parts of his administration. Biden will score the point thus far due to the rapid repair of European relations we are already seeing but won't get all 3 until I see him take a stronger position on China.
Flat:
Busch: 2 (+1)
Obamna: 1 (+1)
Tronque: 0
Bi-then: 1 (+1)
Obama: 3 (+3)
Biden: 2 (+2)
Military: George Bush will score major points on this front due to his engagements in Iraq and Afghanistan as necessary actions to secure global stability and freedom. This will earn him the point with gusto. Obama will not earn the point but won't go home empty-handed. His political withdraw from Iraq against the advice of all experts may have created ISIS, but he did do a lot in the way of ending the problem he created, so he gets a courtesy point for this. Trump presided over the end of ISIS, that's a point, but he is not eligible for the next two due to his assassination of Soleimani and his abandonment of the Kurds and withdraw from Syria. Biden looks to be on a good track to fix Trump's mistakes, but for now that will just be worth 2 points, not 3.
Bush 3 (+1)
Broom: 0
Trump: 2 (+1)
Justice: George W. Bush is going to score solid points here. He expanded the civil rights of immigrants and the unborn and appointed all-around solid picks to the Supreme Court. He will score the point and do rather well here. Obama passed the Fair Sentencing Act and made a good step towards criminal justice reform but otherwise fell flat with Supreme Court Appointees (Kagan is decent, Sotomayor not so). Trump has so much going against him but the absolutely incredible nature of Gorsuch and ACB as jurists has to score him at least 1 point here, but he doesn't get the full point. I do not expect much from Joe Biden here, for now it's a zero.
Trumoo: 0
Bush: 12 (+3)
Crisis Management: George W. Bush did well in the wake of 9/11. He'll get the flat point but won't pass with flying colors, the Patriot Act is just going to be too much to surmount. Obama will not do well here, he'll get a point for his responses to a variety of smaller level crises but won't clear to 2 points. Trump will score -3 points as perhaps the worse crisis manager in America's history (worse than Buchanan), for actually encouraging insurrection against the United States when he lost. This will likely forever leave him the worst President in American history. Biden has not impressed me thus far but at least he's a steady hand through covid, that's a courtesy point.
Trump: 0 (-3)
Integrity: Bush was a man of great character and integrity, you could just tell he cared about the American people and acted as a good man, even if I didn't always agree with what he was doing. Obama, on the other hand, not so much. Quite a few scandals came out of his administration and I never quite knew where he stood on some issues. Still though, a point for doing what was right for the country at some of the most important ventures, in most instances. I'm inclined to give Trump another negative but this is a purely positive scale and I won't break the rules, I'll leave it there. Joe will score the points, two of them.
Executive Appointments: Bush did well, not exemplary, but well. Obama did fine and Biden appointed a few good apples. Trump, like Obama and Biden, appointed some winners but are mostly canceled out by the jokers.
Obama: 8(+1)
Persuasive: George Bush was always good at this, and for that I admired him. Obama too, for that matter. Biden and Trump, on the other hand, don't seem to have the same oomph. Thinking on their addresses, it is unlikely they'll achieve the same success. No one will win the point overall, but Bush and Obama will each get one adjusted point.
Avoiding Mistakes: Unfortunately, none of our Presidents could claim the win here. In fact, only Bush will get a courtesy point for avoiding more mistakes than he made. But this has been a rough issue for our Commanders-in-Chief of the 21st century.
Party Leadership: Once again, none of our Presidents were particularly blessed in this department. Bush would have done well had it not been for the limping to the end of his finish line that created a civil war in the party. Had he stuck to conservative principles on spending and the budget, I think the GOP would be in a much better place. Obama left his party, similarly, in open civil war over Sanity or Socialism. Sorry Barry. Donald Trump turned his party into a hostage of a blood-thirsty cult of personality filled with conspiracy theorists, this will yet again zap all his points. Biden continues to preside over a party cripplingly divided and he can't seem to make his mind up on moderation or full-throated liberalism/social democracy.
Popularity: I change the definition of this to who has effectively leveraged whatever popularity they did have. Sometimes the right thing is the unpopular thing and far be it for me to ding a President for doing what is right, even when it's unpopular. That would actually earn points for me. I treat this category as two-fold "How did they use whatever popularity they did have and did they seek it at the expense of doing right?". Bush effectively leveraged his popularity while he had it to lead the nation through the War on Terror and will score the point. Obama did this to a lesser degree and won't score the full point but will not go home empty-handed. Trump will, naturally, do terribly here. He was unpopular for doing the wrong thing, the worst combination. I've yet to see Biden effectively leverage his popularity or refuse to seek it, so no points for him yet.
Obama: 10 (+1)
Flat: (8/12)
Adjusted: (23/36)
Bush will earn a about a B- or B overall as far as Presidents are concerned. He did well but had some serious short-comings. I will remember him fondly as a President more successful than not, but just barely.
Obama was not the great Satan as many loons purported him to be. But that doesn't mean he was actively a good President. He wasn't. But he wasn't the worst we've had to offer. This performance will earn for him a D or D+, powered largely by his best qualities: his rhetoric and diplomacy.
Donald Trump:
Adjusted: (0/36)
Donald Trump has left broken and mangled a Country and Party which I love. He is the worst President this country has ever seen. Even his exit from office was so disgraceful so as not to elicit an ounce of joy. He will score an F-- with prejudice. May God ensure we never descend to the depths of hell to which we did to elect a President of his horrifying caliber again.
Joe Biden:
Joe is not impressive on his own, quite to the contrary in fact. I have grave concerns for our Republic going forward. But put next to Donald Trump he looks like Washington and Jefferson come back to save the nation- anyone would. Still, I predict he'll line up quite nicely or fall just short of his brother from another mother; President Obama. So far he's earned for himself a D but I wouldn't be surprised if that fell to a D-. We'll see.
(Note: that was just based on these categories. Normally I'd put Bush at a C+ or B-, Obama at a D+ or C-, Biden at a D+, and Trump retains his unceremonious F--.)

One little note that caught my eye early on I must question. You said that Obama had the, "weakest response to an economic crisis in American history." Have you forgotten about Martin van Buren, there?
Not the weakest response! I said weakest recovery, though even that should read "second weakest recovery", so apologies for the typo.
Also, be nice the Little Magician, he's trying his best! 😉
Although, as I'd often said to people back on 270soft, a U.S. President cannot be judged personally for the totality of the economic situation during their tenure in office, because FAR too many variables go into it, many far beyond the control of a U.S. President, and a crap tonne of which are completely under strict state or corporate perogative, other nations' jurisdiction, or just due to bad weather, natural disasters, agricultural or industrial accidents, spooking of investors and other random things like that. Even though voters like to punish or reward incumbents for the economy as though they, alone, had the responsibility, it's really not at all a fair judgement, when viewed rationally.
And on that we agree.
Here are notations from prof Eddy
Economy /5
Civil Liberties /5
Foreign Managment /5
Personnality as leader /5
Economy 4/5 : Good start, the US can be back on track with covid vaccination this year and the bail-out was needed at this time, however he should ease covid restrictions this summer
Civil Liberties 4/5 : Good start, wants to close Guantanamo, support extensions of rights and wants to adress police reforms, we will see how it goes
Foreign managment 4/5 : Once again the beginning is very appreciable, he put troops back home and is in favor of multilateralism while standing for democracy, he didn't backflip on the Trump Venezuelian position which is good. However bombings continue.
Personnality as leader 4,5/5 : As president Joe Biden really tries to appease America, his debate performance against Trump in the first presidential debate is maybe why I don't give 5, but overall he has been trying to unite and both parties can rely on working with him so far
Total of my notation : 16,5 the beginning of Joe Biden's term is solid, he is not only trying to appease the country, he maintained the unity in his party, now it is the beginning of this term
Economy 4/5 : It would be 5 without the covid pandemic and his response. Bad points for Trump are that he reproduced mistakes of Bush, he cut taxes but raises military spendings so the debt is booming.
Civil Liberties 1/5 : Transgender rights went backwards during his term, if I give him a point it's only because he has been a moderate republican on the issue of civil liberties but his party is also changing on the issue
Foreign managment 3/5 : He made gains in term of trade wars for the US but ruined the diplomatic strenght of his country for 4 years during which occidental leaders managed together and let him alone. His isolationnist is absolutely fake he quadrupled the number of military strikes and threatened to use the nuclear weapon several times, insultes his allies like a child and did not get anything on the North Korea situation.
Personnality as leader 0/5 : Charlottesville, insults of black players, trans people, women, only stopped Capitol Riots because he risks himself to end up in jail if he didn't condemn. His party is now in civil war for years.
Total of my notation : 8/20 the economy was his only best spot, that's why covid ruined it and took his election chances down.
Economy 3,5/5 : Good recovery but I think that Mitt Romney would have handled the recovery better than him (even if I would have voted Obama in 2012). He has decently managed the period.
Civil Liberties 4,5/5 : America of 2008 and America of 2016 are not the same. You can't campaign for same sex marriage in 2008 while it is a national consensus by 2016, however the Supreme Court did the job instead of Congress. The repeal of Don't Ask don't Tell was also a good thing as time has passed and it was no longer a consensus. Barack Obama presidency has really been a key moment for social progress. However, police reforms did not happen enough, and often his attempts to get social progress were took down in Congress.
Foreign Managment 2,5/5 : Barack Obama made a lot of controversial decisions, for Cuba, Syria, Iran, which let questions and divide the electorate as these divide me. Overall he has not been a bad president and well managed the ISIS crisis under his own period.
Personnality as leader 3,5/5 : Barack Obama is a cool president but not an uniter, in Congress he might look like more in an opposition behavior (such as republicans) than in the seeking of compromises. He has been a charismatic president, an incone and surely a great candidate for the democratic party, but he is not in the same kind of spirit than Joe Biden for example.
Total of my notation : 14/20 a good president overall compared to Trump but people were expecting a lot of him, probably too much. They expected that he solve racial injustices and even the Israelian conflict. He made a social revolution via Obamacare and has remained a strong leader through a difficult period, but compared to Bill Clinton I think that he accomplished less than him in his 8 years
Economy 3,5/5 : He did a pretty good job but same mistake than Trump. Cut taxs and raise military spendings, this is what halted the surplus that America had so far. His 2008 crisis gestion is not so bad to be honest, it could have been way worse. The federal reserve has also let inflation go too high before the crash.
Civil Liberties 1/5 : Patriot Act is a big malus plus he didn't do anything special for others rights and worse than this with the situation in Guantanamo
Foreign Managment 1,5/5 : I try to be apartisan, the Iraq intervention is a big mistake which led to the current situation with ISIS, but the Afghanistan intervention was justified even if he remained for too long, I also think that he should not have let the proofs in Iraq for so long but as we can see the bad was already done and pulling troops out of Iraq also let the door open for terrorism
Personnality as leader 3,5/5 : He has been incredible to heal the nation for 9/11 and remains someone who stood up for real republicanism, his party remained united under his leadership.
Total of my notation : 9,5/20 George W Bush is not the worst president ever, but he is responsible via his Foreign Policy to many of the current disorders in the Middle East. He has helped the US economic growth to rise quickly but has not been above the average during the economic crisis of 2008. As a leader he has remained a traditionnal republican, but as a person he is more humble and funny which has always been his strong point to connect with the electorate.

CALGARY, Alberta – For Team Canada's Dakota Buttar, last year's Iron Cowboy at AT&T Stadium wasn't so fun.
After a Round 1, 84.5-point effort on Foghat, Buttar's helmet, riding glove and custom mouthguard were stolen from inside the arena. They were sitting on the back of the chutes as he awaited his second-round foe, Spotted Demon.
"They have the guy on videotape taking it," Buttar told PBR.com's Justin Felisko at the time. "They think he knew the building because he pulled his hat down on his face and walked right out of the building.
A two-time Glen Keeley Memorial Award winner as the top Canadian in the PBR's World Standings at the end of the year, Buttar is looking to help Team Canada steal a win and the US soil at this weekend's WinStar World Casino and Resort PBR Global Cup USA, presented by Monster Energy.
"We need to get that dirt back from the Americans," Buttar said. "That's what we need to do.
One of them who was missing on Day 2 in Edmonton was Buttar himself after breaking his ankle on Day 1. Since, he's 2-for-4 in PBR Global Cup competition. Missing in both Edmonton and Sydney was Canadian Pro Rodeo Champion and Wrangler NFR Qualifier Jordan Hansen, who will make his Global Cup debut in Arlington. This is also Team Canada Coach Aaron Roy's first Global Cup, however Roy has experience riding in past PBR World Cups.
Despite the stolen gear last year, Buttar is looking forward to heading back to Texas.
The three-time PBR World Finals qualifier is excited for the team aspect once again.
Team Canada finished third in Sydney, Australia, 19.75 points back of Brazil for the win.
"We only bucked off a couple bulls," Buttar said.
Not much room for error exists against some of the top bulls in the nation, which will be in Texas.
"It'll probably be the rankest of the Global Cups," Buttar said of the bovine athletes to be faced and adding what he thinks Canada needs to do to win. "Just pretty much do what we've been doing, ride as many bulls as we can and that's pretty much gonna declare a winner I think.

120Th anniversary of the Norwegian tradition shipping company in Tromso, February 2013 In summer 2013 the Hurtigruten celebrate birthday: set sail with DS Vesteraalen first a Hurtigruten ship in Lake on July 2 exactly 120 years ago and opened the daily scheduled services from the southern Norway in the northern part of the country. The shipping company is celebrating their important day with new anniversary trips and attractive price offers. The Hurtigruten play an important role as a lifeline along the Norwegian coast: until today the Hurtigruten fleet transported tourists, local passengers and cargo every day quite in the sense of the shipping company founder Richard With alike.

The eleven anniversary trips are the high point of the festivities around the 2.
July, the day of the Hurtigruten premiere ride in 1893. Each ship in the fleet of the modern MS Midnatsol, with departure in mountains on 21 June 2013 to to the nostalgic MS Lofoten from the year 1964, which starts on July 1 in the old Hanseatic City will embark on the special birthday trip. Following program offers passengers: new evening menu in the on-board restaurant – inspired by the cooking traditions of that time. An ausserfahrplanmassige ride through the Lyngenfjord between Skjervoy and Tromso including the spectacular panorama of the Lyngen Alps, with its steep mountains, narrow hours and imposing glaciers. Live concerts aboard – Norwegian traditional music in the Geirangerfjord and modern music from Norway in the port of Tromso. Tasting fresh shrimp on deck personally on board supplied by local fishermen from the region of Lyngen. A special birthday ceremony on 2 July on all ships – in the style of a traditional Norwegian birthday party. In the onboard shops sell special Jubilee souvenirs such as postcards with 120 years Hurtigruten emblem.

Jason Renaud: Why I'm running
Jason Renaud is co-founder of the Mental Health Association of Portland, an advocacy organization for persons with mental illness and addiction. Learn more at www.jasonforportland.com
I made an investment of my life in Portland. I grew up here, went to public schools here, made friends here, learned to work here, bought a house here, got married here, had a kid here, became a political activist here, my large and complicated family is here, my future is here.
I am invested in the city and in the success of the city. I want to make Portland a better city where my son and your children will be proud to have their homes and families.
In the campaign for City Commissioner, Position No. 3, the issues are clear.
* Civilian Oversight of the Portland Police Bureau - Police Commissioner Dan Saltzman fails to live up to community and police officer expectations for creating trust and accountability. I can change this.
* Schools and Livability - Public schools in Portland must be excellent to attract both new and established business; the City must be entirely engaged as PPS reworks itself by committing new support to families and infrastructure.
* Emerging from the National Recession - How city government is relevant and helpful during these days of high unemployment - strategic and prudent investment.
Over the past two months I've campaigned to be qualified for the Campaign Finance Fund by collecting signatures and contributions of $5. During the brief dash to qualification, I focused on repairs to the most complicated and controversial city bureau - the police.
You can help by sending an email TODAY to receive a signature form, sign it, and have a volunteer pick it up. Our deadline is January 29. Email - [email protected]
What launched my campaign for City Council is the inept response to the death of James Chasse.
For forty months I followed what happened to James Chasse. People are angry. They know what happened to James, they know how he lived and how he died, and they know no one - no police officer, no medical technician, no fireman, no jail deputy or jail nurse - no one is accountable for his death. The city's lack of action is intolerable to by persons interested in justice.
I've spent the past 17 years helping people with insurmountable problems make a plan, stick to a plan, and be successful. As a barefoot social worker on Portland's skid road, as a program manager for persons with addiction and mental illness, as a paid and unpaid spokesperson for the welfare of persons with mental illness and addiction, I am acutely aware of the complex and integrated difficulties to bureaucracy - from bottom to top.
What I do well is understand and talk about subjects other people avoid. The job of commissioner isn't to be clever or figure out problems alone; it's more complicated. Commissioners need courage to find solutions within affected communities, to guide leadership, protect a place at the table for dissent, make sure everyone is heard, make certain all options are explored. The job is to be accountable, available, curious, engaged, to listen and decide what's best for all.
Police Commissioner Saltzman is not alert to the needs of the community.
The community gives the police permission to use a great power - force. That power is a privileged - never a right, never to be taken for granted, never to be violated. Revoking this power is the decision of an alert representative of the community, and officers, paid employees, should not stall or quibble.
Forty months since James Chasse was killed and a basic truth is, talk is cheap. Dan Saltzman doesn't get it - he can't speak in public about his slow decision to leave Christopher Humphreys on the streets, later to shoot a twelve year-old girl with a lead pellet bag.
What we learn from these incidents - an innocent man with schizophrenia or a twelve year-old girl - is active and potent civilian oversight of police provides a necessary check and balance, which must be public and transparent and used. Protecting civilian oversight of the police was Saltzman's primary task, and he failed.

Eleven Point Plan to Reform the Portland Police - http://www.jasonforportland.com/news/2009/12/30/eleven-point-plan-to-reform-the-portland-police/
Let me take a wack at the parks question from Mary's column. A parks levy idea has been floated. I love our parks, they're a great treasure for the city. Have you been to the tricycle speedway at Gammans Park? Speaking of speedways, what's the only major American city with a international raceway inside a city park? Portland and Portland International Raceway.
But in a recession, with thousands of Portlanders out of work, with $5+ billion in current debt, with other more pressing issues such as public safety and homelessness, I think it is not the right time to take on additional debt for parks.

Doesn't "Renaud" mean, "Fox" in French?
How could a handsome, middling-aged feller like Renaud POSSIBLY be a community activist as well?
Uh-Oh, Now we have a candidate offering specifics.......
This can only end badly.
Mrs M (unverified)
Jason, I actually thought your 11 point outline was pretty good. It illustrates a number of proposed action items I would hope to see from any candidate on (at least) the top ten priorities he/she has identified. I know PPB oversight is an issue you have been passionate about. So, I have to ask if you are a one trick pony, or do you have very detailed plans /action steps for other important issues (schools, livability, transportation, jobs)as well. Also, I would like to know if publicly support or reject the effort to recall Mayor Sam Adams.
Todd Lursey (unverified)
[Off-topic gibberish deleted. -editor.]
Mrs. M - good questions. I decided to focus my thinking for the qualifying period on ideas to fix the cops because time is short and they're the most complex problem we face. The passion and the thoughtfulness exemplifies what I plan to bring to City Hall. I'm also probably the only person who has Dan Handelman and Scott Westerman on my cell phone.
About Sam. This issue splits the city, but I think about 10%-90%. The first recall didn't make a sufficient case to proceed. The second recall hasn't made it's case to proceed and seems politically shortsighted. Further, the funders of the second recall are mysterious. These items need to be immaculate prior to my signing up.
Thanks for responding. That's another step in the right direction.
Would you be in favor of giving tax dollars or privileges to some one or some group that wants help in building a stadium so a sports team can relocate here?
Bob Tiernan Portland
Hey Bob - Thanks for asking. I've attended a lot of the Rose Quarter Stakeholder meetings and watched the process un-fold to find what to do next with the Memorial Coliseum. Tonight is the big night where 40+ proposals will be unveiled. Two are viable - meaning they seem to have some business plan attached, the MARC plan and the Blazer's plan. The process has been very good; I'm disappointed the options were so limited (the bowl and box were assumed to stay.)
Public / private partnerships are an essential part of doing government business. We don't ignore them because the private-side makes a profit. That's their incentive. But the public-side needs to be well-served with profit, community need, community engagement and agreement, and a strong record of success by the private partner.
It's that strong record of success which is missing from the Paulson proposal (well, and the public need / process, etc.) If Portland invests $X, what is the assurance the sports team remains for the duration of the investment - none. What would balance this proposal is for Paulson to back his bet with an escrow account, say the amount of the city's investment, to be returned after ten years - or some amount of time.
Again, trust is the key here. Do you trust your public avatars in this negotiation. No? You have the power to change them by emailing me at [email protected], receiving a signature form, signing it, and making the city-required $5 contribution. Email me today, Thursday is our real deadline.

Jason: re the 10% - 90% split, which way do you think the 10% feels?
Sorry - unclear about the 10% comment. I've just taken an anecdotal and completely unscientific poll, knocking on doors of about 300 houses in inner SE and NE Portland. No one expressed that removing Sam Adams from office is a priority for Portland right now.
My guess is 90% were or are disappointed with Sam's behavior, but understand it is within the best interest of the city to proceed. Ten percent can't abide what he did and put his removal from office ahead of the rest of the city's business.
Pat brought a rare grin.
Thanks for addressing the Parks issue and the 12 point plan! You're back in the black on my ledger.
Efcharisto! I can check one more item as achieved from my comprehensive campaign plan.
Jason: thanks for the answer. I'm hoping, if you're elected, you'll use more than anecdotal, unscientific evidence upon which to base the decisions you'll make.
Forgot the FWIW. Hmmm...beware of Greek speakers bearing gifts?

Jason Renaud:
Public / private partnerships are an essential part of doing government business. We don't ignore them because the private-side makes a profit.
So then, if Safeway starts asking for cities to build stores for them as a condition to stay here or locate more of them here, this would be okay? By going along with the notion that these partnerships are "an essential part of doing government business", you encourage it.
Provide proof that professional sports would disappear if no level of government subsidized the teams, stadiums, and arenas, and no privileges. Baseball, football etc were growing w/o government $$$, and will survive w/o it. All you would need to do as a member of any city council would be to inform any such team owner that if he can find a large enough parcel of land for the stadium, and the landowners are all willing to sell, that the city won't play games with him provided he pays for the infrastructure needed. If it's a case where a team is already here and threatens to relocate unless subsidized, say goodbye.
Subsidizing these team owners so that a city can then brag that they are important for having a team is really flimsy, and the owners laugh all the way to the bank. This kind of deal also conditions citizens to believe that the government really needs to engage in all of these partnerships in order to make sure they exist to begin with, when that is total nonsense.
Well, you don't get my vote. The only member of the city council who's shown any sense in this sort of thing is Amanda Fritz.
Bob, you assert in your comment ideas and sarcasm, essentially saying being open to opportunities with business is akin to accepting blackmail. I didn't say or infer that.
"Would you be in favor of giving tax dollars or privileges to some one or some group that wants help in building a stadium so a sports team can relocate here?" was your question - a general, not specific question. I now see you were referring only to the Paulson deal.
The Paulson deal is so cloudy and confusing everyone except soccer fans and self-interested vendors are concerned. The City has not supported many professional sports ventures - I assume they weren't viable. I agree tho; today Paulson is laughing.
My hope is the integrity and acumen of the City's negotiators be equal or better than the business side. We have far more common interests than profit and need to assert those interests confidently and publicly. This, I think, is attractive policy to enterprises which understand a fair deal for both sides is the best way to do business.
The "blackmailing" is done by the team owner(s), not the politician. But they do it only because the politicians let them.
I now see you were referring only to the Paulson deal.
That's a recent example one can't help but hint at, but I'm speaking of all such deals. Far worse than than piddling soccer deal was what was being contemplated here when there was a (very slim) chance of luring the Expos here not too many years ago. It included such obnoxious ideas as letting the millionaire players' state income taxes go right into paying for their place of employment. Would it not be the same thing as taking Safeway employees' state income taxes and using it to build/maintain the stores they work in? It gets really absurd by going down this route. Politicians with guts and integrity are the ones who say "No" to team owners trying to get money that will make them even richer (like GW Bush did in Texas).
The City has not supported many professional sports ventures - I assume they weren't viable.
Most likely because Porltand is not a big city, despite what many politicians and other elitists want to believe. It helps their egoes to believe that. After all, why wouldn't they want to think that they are in a city important enough to have major league baseball and direct flights to Europe and Asia? The news anchors are among them, yet they let slip how big Portland really is when the second or third story on the news is about the zoo's goat dying.
Because of government's intervention in professional sports stadiums, etc., the sports in question were not allowed to find their proper level in the market. We'd have smaller, less expensive stadiums and arenas, and perhaps players making $500,000 per year at most. This form of entertainment would not have disappeared at all but would have continued to grow as it had been since the beginning. We'll never run out of young adults who'd love to play a sport for a living -- even $50K a year.
These deals cause people to shift their entertainment dollars around a bit, but that's all. Studies show that, clearly. If not at a game one day, they'd be at the movies, or at a nice restaurant, or a picnic at Rooster Rock State Park.
We don't people who'll play into this "Gee, if we don't use tax dollars to get that team, some other city will get it". So what. You might learn something from Michael Moore's "Roger & Me", where he exposes the "community cultural center" for what it was -- an expensive nonsense project sold to the taxpayers with all kinds of promises that could never materialize. We do the same thing with the convention center ("Gee, we have to make our bigger again because we're losing conventions to San Francico again").

How to stop severe bleeding: What to do in an emergency
Accidents and injuries can happen anywhere. Knowing how to stop bleeding on the spot could save a life.
A fall on a hiking trail, a bicycling accident, a shooting or stabbing, even an incident in the workplace — severe bleeding can occur anywhere at anytime. If you saw someone with such a life-threatening wound, would you know how to help?
Stop the bleed: That's the message medical caregivers want to spread, and there are simple steps that any layperson can take to stop bleeding in an emergency situation. Much like training and awareness for choking and heart attack victims, teaching people how to control bleeding can save lives.
"Tourniquet training is helpful to have because accidents or injuries can happen anytime, anywhere. We see people coming into Vanderbilt's emergency department bleeding from motorcycle crashes, farming accidents — it could be anything," said Cathy Wilson, MSN, RN, ACNP-BC, Vanderbilt University Medical Center's Trauma Outreach/Injury Prevention Coordinator.
When to use a tourniquet
There are certain types of injuries that lend themselves to tourniquets, Wilson said. Tourniquets should only be used on arms and legs, so a general rule of thumb is to locate the injury on an extremity from the armpits down or from the groin down.
Spurting or pooling blood indicate that a victim may need a tourniquet to help stop the bleed until emergency workers arrive. Ideally, a tourniquet will compress the artery against bone.
If a wound is on the trunk or neck, Wilson said, "all you can do is apply and hold pressure on the wound, or possibly pack the wound, and get to the hospital as quickly as possible."
Wilson believes widespread training is important, even though any publicly available tourniquet kit would include basic illustrated instructions. With uncontrolled, life-threatening bleeding, time is of the essence. "When we train, we want people to know what's life-threatening and what's not. We don't want anyone to unnecessarily use a tourniquet."
How to stop severe bleeding
In an emergency, Wilson said, you can apply a tourniquet to yourself if necessary. Here are some basic steps when providing first aid to someone else until emergency responders arrive:
Ensure you own safety first; Call 911 immediately.
Put on gloves if available.
Locate the injury and expose the wound.
Cover with something clean.
Apply compression. Pack wound if needed.
Apply tourniquet, if applicable.
'It can happen anywhere'
There was a time when we left things like mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, the Heimlich maneuver and CPR to the medical professionals. If something happened to you in public, you just had to hope there was, as they say, a doctor in the house. But intensive efforts to educate and train the public, making people aware of the likelihood of encountering everyday emergencies and stocking public spaces with things like CPR kits and automated external defibrillators, have made a difference.
Now, Wilson and others want to do the same for bleeding emergencies. Anything from a kitchen injury to a car crash can lead to uncontrolled bleeding, she said. Commercial tourniquet kits are increasingly available, and medical professionals like Wilson are taking the lead on increasing awareness and training. She often travels to schools and other groups to conduct basic training.
"It can happen anywhere," she said. "Like I tell my attendees in class, it's not just something you can run into at home or at school or your place of work, you could be in any public place and something could happen. If you see a kit, once you are trained in bleeding-control techniques, you'll know how to use it."
The basic components of a tourniquet kit would be gloves, the tourniquet and gauze. Some may also include a lightweight thermal blanket.

Will Vanderbilt have training like the above in Murfreesboro? We could really use it.

Blanket Box, Blanket Chest, Storage Box, this is an item that has numerous different names. We've got a few more. We like to call it the icing on the cake, the completion of the makeover, the cherry on top. Primarily Blanket Boxes are useful and practical furniture items that store infrequently used items out of sight in an aesthetically pleasing manner, subsequently providing a nice surface area to sit on or display flowers, photographs and ornaments. But every now and then you need to look beyond practicality and admire the beauty of a furniture item. Let's face it, Storage Boxes just look great don't they?


Look how festive these carnival squash are!! I love them! Very similar to an acorn squash or butternut squash, this winter veggie is pale yellow on the inside with a very subtle sweet flavor. I actually think they are slightly less sweet than a sweet potato or acorn squash – which is good for me. I'm surprised at how sweet some winter squash can actually be! In addition, you can roast the seeds of the carnival squash (use this recipe here) and they are crunchy, salty little bites that are perfect for a salad topper!
When these squash arrived from Melissa's Produce (now one of my favorite online sites!) I couldn't wait to come up with a recipe. I immediately thought of stuffing them – it seems like the obvious way to go. I like the idea that you can serve a whole half of squash and it looks beautiful presented. The skin stays nice and firm and acts like a little bowl for the stuffing.
Since the flesh is slightly sweet, I wanted to stuff it full of a savory somewhat salty mixture. Parmesan cheese plus green and black olives really provided a nice contrast to the squash itself. And of course I needed some fall herb flavor – thyme and sage – my favorites this time of year. Lentils were the main component for the stuffing, but you could use wild rice, quinoa, beans or even sausage for the meat lovers out there!
The best part of this dish was getting a bite of squash and filling all at once. It tasted just like Fall – all in one mouthful. And a close second was obviously how great these little squash halves look plated. Almost like a little Fall flower stuffed with delicious goodness! Perfect for a weeknight meal, but can easily double as a beautiful main course or appetizer for a dinner party!
Preheat oven to 400F. Slice each squash in half horizontally – you may need to slice off a bit of the bottoms to ensure they sit flat in the pan. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and bake for 25 minutes.
While squash bakes, prepare the filling. Heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add onion, carrots, green pepper and garlic. Saute for about 10 minutes or until vegetables have softened. Add in lentils, thyme leaves and sage and saute another 1-2 minutes.
Deglaze the pan with the white wine. Stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow to reduce for another 1-2 minutes.
Add in grated cheese and bread crumbs (add these bit by bit to make sure you don't end up with a dry filling). Filling should be moist and sticky, but not overly wet or dry.
Remove squash from oven. Carefully fill each half with an equal amount of filling. Top with extra grated parmesan cheese if desired. Bake for another 50-60 minutes or until squash flesh is fork tender.
Serve one half per person – top with extra cheese or toasted squash seeds!

Four Kenyan Premier League matches will be played at different venues this weekend.
At Sudi Stadium, Nzoia Sugar will take on Vihiga United in a Western Derby, with both sides aiming at getting a win. The Nicholas Muyoti led side has not been consistent in the league, and will be keen to get maximum points.
The hosts have collected a single point from their last three matches as compared to the visitors, who have collected seven points in as many matches. A win for Nzoia will take their tally of points to thirty-four, while a win for the visitors will see them reach thirty-three.
It's also Bob Munro's 77th birthday and Johnstone Omurwa's 20th birthday.
We take on @KHomeboyz at the Kenyatta Stadium starting 3pm EAT.
Mathare United will host Kakamega Homeboyz at Kenyatta Stadium hoping to bounce back from last time's one all draw away to Zoo Kericho. The 'slum boys' have found the going tough this season, struggling to get results same with their visitors, who have found it tough since the departure of coach Mike Mururi.
In the first leg, the two teams played out to a barren draw despite the Western-based side coming into the match as favourites. Bandari's fine run will be put under stun test at Awendo when they face Sony Sugar, who have been excellent of late.
The Dockers have made it five wins in a row as compared to their hosts, who have won five of their last six outings. A win for the Bernard Mwalala led side might cement their second position on the 18-team table.
The Coastal-based side won the first leg by a solitary goal. On Sunday, Chemelil Sugar will host Posta Rangers.


Hucknall Town's hopes of gaining momentum have again been halted by yet another blank weekend.
They bounced straight back to winning ways in the Central Midlands League after their first defeat at Holbrook St Michaels with a 3-0 win over Blidworth Welfare, but now face a two-week lay-off.
"We have a blank Saturday again which is not helpful, then we play Holbrook Sports a week on Saturday," said boss Andy Graves.
"That's three or four Saturdays we've had blank.
"What we don't want now is to miss another Saturday. Even though we've been on good cup runs there have been plenty of free Saturdays to be playing still.
"But we are about three games behind certain teams now which is not ideal.
Hucknall are still waiting for news on their fixture with Ashland Rovers, cancelled the night before due to Rovers' inability to raise a side.
"I don't know whether it's being replayed or whether we are going to get the points," said Graves.
However, the blank Saturday has one silver lining.
"When we saw the lads hadn't got a game, they have been organising their Christmas night out on Friday, so they have been a bit on tenterhooks just in case we had a game dropped in there at the last minute," smiled Graves.

Baltimore County Councilman David Marks announced on Wednesday that he will recommend the downzoning of a heavily-wooded property off Oakleigh Road once slated for development.
In October 2009, Baltimore County approved the development of a 22-unit housing development between Oakleigh Road and Perring Parkway. The "Clearwood Park" project was approved based on the underlying zoning, despite objections from neighbors who criticized the development's impact on traffic and the character of the community.
The project was approved before Councilman Marks' election to the County Council.
Since 2009, the developer has failed to finalize the details necessary to build the project. Councilman Marks initiated a zoning change last fall, and held a community meeting Tuesday night to solicit input from the community on what should happen next.
Councilman Marks anticipates recommending that the seven-acre parcel be downzoned from DR 5.5, or more than five houses per acre, to DR 1, or one house per acre.
The owner is based in Florida.


Keisha Buchanan gave her record company an ultimatum before she quit, telling them: "It's me or Amelle," a source revealed yesterday. The last original member of the band had fallen out with its newest star and gave her management the difficult decision of picking between them. But Keisha's plan backfired as the third member Heidi Range refused to side with her. "Keisha insisted she would leave the band if Amelle was still in it. So, she gave them the "it's her or me" ultimatum," an insider said. "At first they didn't quite know what to do and consulted Heidi. She refused to take either side and refused to gang up with Keisha to push Amelle out." Apparently the singer, who will continue to have a solo career with Island Records, is already wondering if she did the right thing. "She pushed herself out really and is already regretting her decision," the source was quoted as saying.

Q: jQuery Ajax call inside for loop, not working

I wrote following ajax call,
    for (var i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "WebForm1.aspx/CallMe",
            data: "{req: '" + i + "'}",
            contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
            dataType: "json",
            success: function (data) {
                $("#lbl").append(" " + data.d);
            }
        });
    }

Have set a breakpoint in codebehind as below -

CallMe method is invoked twenty times in the loop. When first call is made I press F5, but value is not obtained in the client, other few F5 hits but no return value on the client.
Having allowed code behind code to execute 5 times, I obtain 4-5 values at once in the client..
I tried setting cache:false in jQuery.ajax, which didn't help..
Any suggestion would be very much helpful !!

A: Even the ajax requests are sent synchronously but the responses may not come back in the order that are sent. My guess is that you want to simulate a synchronous request and response, then one way to do that is to nest the ajax calls in the success block.
$.ajax{(
    data: 'req:1',
    success: {
        $.ajax{(
            data: 'req:2',
            success: {
                data: 'req:3',
                ...
            )}
     )}
)}
