Will new Scion near Orlando boast major luxury?

When you think of new Scion near Orlando, the first quality that pops into your mind probably isn’t luxury. You most likely think of innovation, creativity, and cool design elements that are seamlessly integrated into a car that’s dependable and affordable. You’d be right, of course, but did you know that luxury may soon be making its way into the Scion lineup?  Toyota of Clermont has all the details on this intriguing recent rumor!

The rumor mill is turning once again, and this time it’s been suggested that Scion is going to take the driving experience to a whole new level! See, our new Scion near Orlando appeal to a particular age group – the brand is youth-oriented, as evidenced by the extremely affordable price tags on the cars, the fun and funky designs, and the careful application of entertainment technology you’ll find inside. However, we’ve been hearing whispers that Scion wants to up the ante and integrate luxury into their unique family of cars!

New Scion near Orlando may take things up a level

Scion wants to appeal to a larger market of drivers, and in order to do that they might be taking things up a level in terms of the features you’ll find on new Scion near Orlando. The cars would bump up to a bit of a higher price range (around or under $30,000, so they’re still affordable) – this is a niche the automotive brand hasn’t tried to corner yet, so it’s exciting to see what they may come up with! New features would be introduced undoubtedly, and apparently concept cars are in the words!

2013 Scion FR-S is an affordable sporty solution!

However, one of our new Scion options already fits neatly into this category! The 2013 Scion FR-S is a sports car that was released to a ton of fanfare last year, and it’s been turning heads all over the country with its sleek and sporty style, its powerful performance, and its unbelievably low price tag. Did you know that the new Scion FR-S kicks off at just around $25,000? When was the last time you found a sports car this incredible for that price?

Here are a few of our favorite features on the 2013 Scion FR-S near Orlando!

  • Style: It’s low to the ground (thanks to a flat Boxer engine), sleek, muscular, and overall extremely impressive. It also boasts 18” wheels, dual exhaust, and a dark interior that’s decked out with sport bucket front seats and bright red stitching!
  • Technology: HD Radio, Bluetooth, iPod connectivity, AM/FM Radio, CD player, and more are all at your fingertips… plus the option to upgrade to an impressive BeSpoke audio system awaits!
  • Performance: 0-60 in six seconds? No problem. The 2013 Scion FR-S rules the roads with front-wheel drive, the aforementioned 4-cylinder Boxer engine, and 201 horsepower!

That’s just a small sample of what makes the 2013 Scion FR-S so amazing – see it in person at Toyota of Clermont today! Our new Toyota and Scion dealership is open seven days a week until 10pm, and we’re conveniently located just off the Florida Turnpike on State Road 50!

what i'll be cooking this weekend (8.10.12)

With so many amazing and gorgeous recipes floating around the web recently, I have a list about five miles long of things I want to try, starting this weekend. I thought I would share some of my favs with you because A) friends share, and B) now I have another way I can keep track of all these fab recipes. So, here they are. Hopefully you'll try a few of these too this weekend :]

Saturday morning we have a few guests staying over, so though I might surprise them (& Michael) by making this cheeseless crustless quiche by Shanna and Tim of Food Loves Writing. Who doesn't love quiche for breakfast, but who needs all the extra cheese first thing in the morning. Their simple kale and eggs have also got me inspired.

For lunch on Saturday, I'm definitely making this fabulous summer panzanella salad by Laura from The First Mess. Be sure to check out her super cute video too. You'll fall in love.

On Saturday, if it is warm and sunny (fingers crossed), then I'll be making a pitcher of this gogi ginger lemonade by the always wonderful Sarah of My New Roots

Saturday night, I'm just dying to have a taco party. I don't know if it is all of the great taco recipes I've been stumbling on recently that are subliminally sending me the taco party vibe, but I am insisting on having one this weekend. These awesome eggplant tacos by Erin of The Forest Feast will definitely be on the menu. Also, I need to try these beautiful roasted vegetable tacos with avocado cream and feta by Erin of Naturally Ella. Her chipotle sweet potato tacos will probably make their way to the taco party as well.

As you might know, I have a thing for pancakes. Especially on Sunday mornings. I've been eyeing these delightful looking Blueberry Lemon Yogurt Pancakes from Kate of Cookie and Kate. Sounds like the perfect Sunday pancake to me.

And, if I am not too tired of doing dishes, I might whip up some thai iced tea and vegan ginger ice cream sandwiches by local milk for a little Sunday evening indulgence.

Happy Cooking!

New musical Rue Magique, based on the relationship between a south London prostitute and her teenage daughter, receives its world premiere at the King’s Head theatre later this month (29 October 2008, previews from 21 October), running for a limited season to 7 December.

Written by Brett Kahr (music and lyrics) and Lisa Forrell (book), Rue Magique was initially developed as a short musical piece inspired by the stories of young people involved with a children’s charity. It has since been expanded into a full-length show which, according to press material, “portrays a world that exists beneath the radar of police and social services, where people struggle to survive by any means possible”.

A “rites-of-passage” story, it examines the consequences of what happens when prostitute Desdemona attempts to force her 13-year-old daughter Sugar to follow in her footsteps and sell her body.

Leading the cast are Melanie LaBarrie (Les Miserables, Mary Poppins, Daddy Cool) as Desdemona, Terel Nugent (Mary Poppins, Hairspray) as Rem and newcomer Nadia Di Mambro as Sugar. They’re joined by Gavin Ashbarry, Adam Bayjou, Julian Forsyth, Amanda Minihan, Amanda Posener and Anna Stolli.

Rue Magique is directed by Lisa Forrell and choreographed by Damian Jackson, with set design by Polly Sullivan, costume design by Natasha Ward and lighting by Tim Mascall. Musical supervision and orchestration are by David White, with musical direction by Andy Massey.

next, it's with the grey hair and the smelly umbrella

Things I am made of:
  • Sugar
  • Spice
  • Everything nice
Things I do not happen to be made of:
  • Anti-perspirant
  • Pseudophedrine
  • Money
I have dropped a good $100 or so in the past 6 months on socks. Now, not even I am such a scrooge as to pretend like $100 is a TON of money, but in relation to what it's being spent on? Jeez. That's a ton of socks. And how many pairs do my lovely darlings have to show for it? Um, like 3 each.

And so, today as I did my weekly 12 loads of laundry, I did the single most cheap ass old-lady thing I have even done in my whole life. I safety-pinned each pair of socks together before I put them in the wash. And here's why.

To hear my kids tell it, they remove each pair of socks with tender-loving care and gently lay each one deep enough into the hamper as to ensure that nary a stray sock falls out and gets separated from its mate. This leaves me with only one conclusion:

The laundry room sock monsters are eating very, very well here at Chez Mr. Lady.

I an hardly believe I have sunk to these depths. I'm going to have to take up happy hour and bridge next. Ugh.

Sweetsmoke by David Fuller

This weekend I finished David Fuller’s novel, Sweetsmoke, which I first mentioned on WigWags here.

A work of fiction can be judged by many criteria. My approach is pretty simple.

  1. Did it keep my interest past page five?
  2. Did I find myself wanting to set other pressing activities aside to return to the story?
  3. Did the characters grab me?
  4. Was the writing such that I could see what the characters see?
  5. If a mystery, did it keep me guessing?
  6. Did I learn something?
  7. Was I a bit blue the day after I finished it because — I didn’t want to be finished?
  8. Would I recommend it to family, friend, or colleague?

Here is my run down on Sweetsmoke. The numbered answers below correlate, of course, to the aforementioned questions above.

  1. By the time I thought about whether the story had held my interest past page five, I’d just finished Chapter 5. Enough said on that one.
  2. My finances remain in a growing “to do” pile.
  3. The protagonist, Cassius Howard, was entirely satisfying as the central player in the story. I found particularly intriguing his relationship with his owner, Hoke Howard. And what a fresh idea to make the “sleuth” of the murder mystery that is the undercurrent of the story, a plantation slave.
  4. I found Mr. Fuller’s descriptive writing excellent. His recounting of the Battle of Antietam (see Antietam National Battleground link here), was shockingly realistic and worth the price of the book alone. He is a master of “showing,” not telling. Well done.
  5. The mystery’s twists and turns definitely kept me guessing. I won’t reveal anything here…
  6. While I was familiar with the history, Mr. Fuller’s description of plantation life from the slave’s perspective was insightful. Many readers will benefit from the historical aspects of the book.
  7. I am completely miffed that I don’t get to continue the story this evening.
  8. I just this minute loaned my copy to my sister to read on her vacation. She and her daughter will likely fight over it. Vacation reading is sacred. Only the best.

17:10 6th February 2016
By  Ed Jones

A double goal burst in three second half minutes sealed a superb victory at promotion rivals Sheffield United, results elsewhere seeing Latics move up a place to 3rd place in Sky Bet League One, now just a single point behind the automatic places.

Will Grigg netted from the spot shortly after the break to score his 14th goal of an increasingly fruitful season, although it could have been 15 had United keeper George Long not pulled off a superb save from a second penalty twenty minutes later.

Debutant Conor McAleny scored three minutes after Grigg to double Latics’ advantage with a great finish as Latics broke in numbers and Gary Caldwell’s men saw out the game impressively, threatening to increase the lead themselves.

Caldwell made two changes going into the match as the team reverted to a back four. McAleny was handed his debut, while Sam Morsy started for the first time in Latics colours after his arrival from Chesterfield ten days ago and looked assured throughout.

Latics dominated the majority of the first half, but failed to trouble Long despite plenty of bright build-up play, notably from Grigg, Yanic Wildschut and McAleny.

The best effort before the break actually came from Jose Baxter for Sheffield United, his chip from the edge of the box beating Jussi Jaaskelainen but going just over the bar.

Former Latics striker Conor Sammon was replaced at half-time by Che Adams for United and the hosts came out firing, Billy Sharp immediately forcing Jaaskelainen into a smart three minutes after the restart.

Latics responded immediately, Grigg setting up McAleny, whose drive from the edge of the box was tipped over the bar by Long.

It proved to be an omen as Latics transformed the game with two goals in three minutes.

The breakthrough came on 51 minutes, when Yanic Wildschut powered through into the United box and was brought down by Chris Basham. Penalty, converted emphatically high in the middle by Grigg for his 11th League goal of the season.

Adams did force Jaaskelainen into a save with a powerful shot from the edge of the box but Latics raced up the field to double their advantage.

Wildschut once again started the move, cutting in from the left, riding a challenge before passing to Max Power, he put the ball into the path of McAleny who was able to mark his debut for the club with a quite stunning finish from 20 yards.

Far from resting on their laurels, Latics continued to attack, firstly Daniels crossing dangerously from the right, cleared by Adams for a corner.  Then McAleny again caused havoc down the right hand side evading two challenges to put in a dangerous cross that no player in a Latics shirt could reach.

United responded themselves in the 65th minute, as Adams cleverly turned in the centre circle to set up Jay McEveley galloping down the left hand side but the Blades’ skipper skewed his shot beyond Jaaskelainen’s far post. United forced two corners in quick succession but Latics stayed firm.

Debutant McAleny was replaced by Wabara with 20 minutes remaining, Latics reverting to a back five and they immediately won a second penalty, Paul Coutts clearly bringing down McCann in the box.

Grigg this time shot to Long’s left and the keeper made a superb save at full stretch.

It was to be the striker’s final contribution, Craig Davis coming on for him after 77 minutes and Latics held on, McCann’s instinctive back-heeled clearance from Sharp in injury time preserving a precious clean sheet that was greeted with a huge roar by another great following from Wigan, 1649 having made the trip over the Pennines.

How to Play Second Base in Fast Pitch Softball

Two Parts:General SkillsPositioning and Making PlaysCommunity Q&A

Not familiar with playing second base? New at softball? Asking yourself how to play second base? This article will help guide you on how to be a second baseman/base woman!

Part 1
General Skills

  1. 1
    Acquire a glove. Since this is infield a 12 inch (30.5 cm) should be just fine. A broken in glove is best.
  2. 2
    Stand between first and second base. This is your starting position. From here, you can move to cover first or second base, and you're filling the space in between so that you can get any balls hit there.
    • If you have a left handed batter, take a small step closer to 1st, not more than a few steps though.
    • If there is a runner on first, step a little to second base. More than likely you will get a throw, and it's faster to run to second when you're closer to the base.
  3. 3
    Know the count, and where the play is. Prepare for every possible situation. Know where to throw the ball if it comes to you, and what base to cover if it doesn't. Talk to your teammates so that you all know where to play the ball.
  4. 4
    Know where to throw. Always know where the runners are. Try to get the lead runner. They have a better chance of scoring, and getting them out first will make it easier to get future runners. If you are not sure where to play, throw to first. That is your best bet.
  5. 5
    Watch the lead runner. This gives you a chance to warn the catcher or the player if the runner tries to steal. This can help them respond faster when the runner starts running.
  6. 6
    Never get distracted. Stay on your toes, ready to move any direction at any moment. Always keep an eye on the batter and the ball. Be ready for anything that comes your way.
  7. 7
    Have fun. Playing is all about having fun. Don't give off negative attitude. It boosts your spirit and friendship with the other team and also makes the rest of the players on yours and the others team happier and spirit lifted. Encourage your teammates and always thank the other team for a good game.

Part 2
Positioning and Making Plays

  1. 1
    If the ball is hit to first, and the first baseman has to run off, back them up. More than likely you will receive a throw. Don't worry, shortstop will cover your position!
  2. 2
    If the ball is hit to short stop or third base (left field) run to second. Shortstop can't cover, so you have to run!
  3. 3
    When the batter shows bunt, cover first base because first baseman will come closer to home for a bunt. If you cover first, the catcher,first baseman, or third baseman can throw the ball to you to get the batter out.
  4. 4
    If the batter shows bunt and there is a runner on first and third then you will have the cover second base in case there is a throw down from the catcher to you. Shortstop can't cover second because the have to back up third base.
  5. 5
    Back up your teammates in case of bad throws. Most of the time shortstop covers second base. If there's nowhere else you're supposed to be, back her up.
  6. 6
    If the ball is hit to the outfield, don't forget about cutoffs. If it is hit far out in left field you cover second base. If it is far out in right field, then you are to run and be the cut off. Short stop will cover second base.
  7. 7
    After every pitch thrown by the pitcher, back up the throw from the catcher to the pitcher. If there is a runner, they will go on a bad throw from the catcher. If you back up the throw you could possibly throw the runner out.
  8. 8
    When a batter gets walked or gets a drop third strike, they might touch first and round it so they can attempt to go to second base. You have to remember to watch the runner and back up the throw in case the runner does run to second. Alert the pitcher when they have the ball if the runner on first is attempting to go to second because they may not be paying attention and they could throw it to second or first and possibly get the runner out.
  9. 9
    When there is a runner on second, stop going to second for a throw down because the catcher will rarely throw down to second with a runner there. Just start backing up the pitcher once there is a runner on second.
  10. 10
    If you have a runner going from first to second and the ball is hit to you, depending on where you are either throw to first or step on second. In this scenario, you don't have to tag the runner. There will be other events where you have to tag the runner.
  11. 11
    Know the boundary line between you and short stop. Think of an imaginary line from the pitcher to the actual second base. Don't intrude when a grounder or pop fly is hit to them and they won't intrude when a grounder or pop fly is hit to you.

Community Q&A

Add New Question
  • When do I cover second base?
    When there is a right-handed batter at the plate, the second baseman covers on a steal. When a left-handed batter is up, the shortstop covers. On a hit to the outfield, the second baseman and shortstop work together to cover the base, to act as a back-up, and also to be a relay or cut-off.
  • What do I do when the ball is hit to me on second?
    wikiHow Contributor
    It depends on the game situation and whether there are runners on base already. Your coach can explain all the possibilities.

  • Catch with two hands. Sometimes the ball with "pop" out of your glove.
  • Break in your glove. It helps you "grip" the ball better.
  • Shake it off if you do something wrong. Everyone makes mistakes.

  • Be careful of sliding runners. Some might even push you out of their way.
  • Try not to get hit, it does hurt.

If there was ever a record that sounded like a swan song, Kenny Rogers' fine, vulnerable Water & Bridges is it. The cover is a bit startling; who thought he'd ever age? He always looked like he was somewhere in his middle to late fifties. But that look is traceable if you look deep enough, while Rogers seems to wear his age proudly, like Kris Kristofferson and Willie Nelson. The disc sounds like a goodbye to all the illusions, regrettable mistakes, and foolhardiness brought by living into the wisdom brought by the golden years. Rogers' career has seen so many heights, it's dizzying to think about. And he's still hanging out on Capitol while many of his contemporaries are struggling on independent labels, if they're recording at all. Water & Bridges isn't a perfect record, but it's a sincere one, and there are many tracks here that no other singer could pull off. And to be truthful, as in his very best material, Rogers has this uncanny ability to make everything on this record sound like it came from his own pen. It's a melancholy record about passage, from one stage to the next, of life, of love, of youth, of ignorance, of spirit. The 11 tracks here are all slow, all reflective. It's that particular brand of slick, soft, modern country and pop that he does better than anyone. There is one true dud in the bunch called "The Last Ten Years (Superman)," which is merely a novelty song about all the famous ones who passed on in the last decade. But there are so many tracks here where one can hear the spirit of mortality railing against the dying of the light. There is the title cut, which opens the disc and charts generations of fathers hurting their sons both born and unborn, where the protagonist finds himself as guilty as anybody he's charged; "Someone Is Me," about taking on civic responsibility; the killer "Someone Somewhere Tonight," which finds magic in the mere presence of everyday life. Don Henley joins Rogers on "Calling Me." It's a white man's country-soul tune that sounds too much like Curtis Mayfield's classic "People Get Ready." (Litigants get ready, set, go!) The vocal performances are stellar. "I Can Feel You Drifting" is a fine pop song, and it's a true heartbreaker. In the now thinning grain of Rogers' awesome voice, all the emptiness and sorrow and confusion in the world comes to call. Water & Bridges is as good as anything out there in 2006 and a whole lot better than most of the dross Nash Vegas shovels out. Hopefully Rogers scores big one more time.

Recipes Appetizers Basics Peaches with Prosciutto and Mascarpone

Peaches with Prosciutto and Mascarpone

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 0 minutes
Servings: 16

This incredibly simple hors d’oeuvre is just the sort of unpretentious, approachable bite that your guests will love. Prepare it during the height of summer when peaches are at their seasonal best.

  • 2 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 16 small fresh basil leaves
  • 1/4 lb. (125 g) thickly sliced prosciutto
  • 1/2 cup (4 oz./125 g) mascarpone cheese
  • 1 Tbs. balsamic vinegar

Slice each peach half into 4 wedges. Place a basil leaf on each wedge and wrap each one with a slice of prosciutto. Spread the mascarpone artfully on a serving platter and use it to anchor the peaches. Drizzle the vinegar over the peaches. Serve immediately, encouraging diners to swipe their peaches through the mascarpone. Makes 16 hors d’oeuvres.

Smoking & Flavor Watch Video

Cedar Planks, Himalayan Salt Block & Salt Blocks

Thanks to Williams-Sonoma, you don’t have to be a four-star chef to obtain gourmet results from your grill. We offer professional-quality accessories that impart distinctive – and mouthwatering – flavors into your favorite meats, poultry, fish, seafood and more. And best of all, they’re not difficult to use. One of the most innovative items you’ll find is a Himalayan salt plate. Increasingly popular, they have virtually unlimited uses in both cooking and serving. Wood and slate boards can also be used for serving grilled meats for an interesting appearance. Or select one of our sophisticated platters for a formal occasion. Himalayan pink salt has different properties than other salts, due to specific trace minerals present. That makes its flavor unique among salts. In addition, because its crystals a packed so tightly together, it is an excellent conductor of heat. For grilling, it’s great for searing proteins since you have the heat of the grill on one side, and a heavy block of hot salt on the other, locking in moisture and glazing meats with a very thin layer of salt.
If your guests crave rustic smoked ribs or other barbecued offerings, we’ve got your covered. Hardwood hickory chips are ideal for smoking most meats, and impart a tasty flavor as well as a scintillating aroma. For unforgettable grilled fish, use our Williams-Sonoma Cedar Plank. It provides support to softer fish steaks to keep them from falling apart, while also giving it delicious tones. For a special meal, instead of soaking the plank in water, try using wine and chopped herbs instead. The result is sure to be amazing. Don’t forget to have our trusty grill tools on hand for added convenience.

Oculus Rift Changes Gaming

oculus-riftThe Oculus Rift is still in its theoretical stages, but developers are very excited about what it means for the future of gaming. Kits are available for $300, but right now the unit is little more than a curiosity. There are very few games that are already compatible with the Oculus Rift. It is being sold on a preliminary basis largely so game developers can incorporate Rift features into future games.

The headset has three different sets of lenses to accommodate variations in wearers’ eyesight; glasses cannot be worn underneath the Rift. It has a seven-inch internal viewing screen, so it is heavier and larger than the original prototype, whose screen was just shy of six inches wide. The viewing panel has 24-bit pixel depth and has realistic 3-D ocular overlap.

The Rift’s field of view is twice as large as the field of view in similar headsets. This creates a heightened sense of reality, since the wearer’s field of vision is almost entirely filled. It is necessary to wear one of the included lens sets with the headset. The raw image is compressed on the screen, and the lenses bring out the 3-D illusion. The size of the screen is going to be substantially enlarged when it is released on the consumer market. Current models do not feature headphones. Developers are working on improving reaction speeds to eliminate delays between the wearer’s actions and the images that are depicted on the screen. There is also progress toward eliminating external power supplies, though this is difficult to do without making the headset too heavy to wear comfortably. Despite a few minor hurdles, all reports point to the Oculus Rift being the next big thing in virtual reality gaming.

Oculus VR just recently raised a $16M investment from Spark Capital as a start to expand the Rift with a full virtual reality platform. The Rift has been receiving a lot of support from developers at major game companies such as Valve, Unity and Epic Games.

What Is Sodium Silicate?

Sodium silicate is one of several chemicals that are composed of sodium, silica, and oxygen. The term is often used to indicate sodium metasilicate, which is also known as liquid glass. Sodium silicate melts at a very high temperature, making it useful for commercial fire-proofing.

A sodium silicate compound contains sodium oxide, Na2O, and silica, Si2O, or a mixture of these compounds. They can be associated with up to nine molecules of water, or lack water and be known as anhydrous. These compounds can be solid, or they can be liquids. The solid version is widely used to make silica gel — a common drying agent.

The combination of being liquid and being resistant to high heat makes these compounds useful for automobile repair. A sodium silicate solution is circulated from the radiator to seal leaks in the head gasket. This solution can also be used instead of motor oil to permanently disable a car engine prior to the auto's destruction. The liquid version is also useful to treat concrete to make it more water repellent.

Sodium silicate water solutions bind solids well, forming insulation boards that tolerate high temperatures. This property enables them to be used to as a refractory—retaining strength at high temperatures. Due to this, they can be used as linings in kilns and glass-making equipment. If water-proofed, they can be used as passive fire protection, such as being incorporated into the structure for plastic pipes, to form firestop devices.

Sodium metasilicate is a strong base that is used in a variety of detergents as a substitute for phosphates, which have been responsible for a great deal of water pollution, by causing algae blooms. It acts primarily by changing the pH of the water to inactivate water hardness. Technically, it is known as a builder.

Another sodium silicate compound is sodium aluminum silicate, which is also known as sodium aluminium silicate. It is composed of sodium, silica, oxygen, and aluminum. It can also be found in an anhydrous form, or combined with water.

Sodium aluminum silicate can form very attractive minerals, including jadeite, which comprises one form of the gemstone jade. Another mineral is albite. These minerals are anhydrous.

There is a synthetic, industrial form of sodium aluminum silicate that contains water. It is known as synthetic amorphous sodium aluminosilicate. This is a common food additive, used as an anti-caking agent that keeps powdered foods free of lumps.

Another commercial use for sodium aluminum silicate is in making synthetic zeolites. These are compounds that are highly porous minerals and are strongly absorbent. They are used commonly as a component of laundry detergents.

What are Topical Antibiotics?

Antibiotics are medications used to treat bacterial infections. Topical versions are applied directly to the skin to treat or prevent infection. Treating a wound with these drugs usually promotes accelerated healing and minimizes the risk of infection.

Topical antibiotics are used primarily to prevent infection of superficial wounds on the skin. Often, a cut, abrasion, or burn will be cleansed, a topical preparation applied, and a dressing affixed to the affected area. This is considered prophylactic, or preventative, treatment. At times, antibiotic creams or ointments may be used on surgical incision sites to prevent infection. Untreated wounds may become overrun with bacteria, causing swelling, redness, and pain.

Available in creams, ointments, powders, or sprays, topical antibiotics are provided in a variety of strengths. Over-the-counter products include bacitracin, neomycin, mupirocin, and polymixin B. Some contain multiple antibiotics to fight a broad spectrum of bacteria. A prescription is usually required for stronger medications used to treat more severe infections.

Topical antibiotics can be used sparingly. The skin is only affected by the treatment that touches it, so thick layers are unnecessary. Patients should check drug labels for specific instructions on proper use. Many are limited to three times or less per day.

Other than surgical sites and accidental skin lacerations, antibiotic creams are sometimes used to treat skin infections, such as impetigo. Only skin conditions caused by bacteria are improved by the use of an antibiotic formula. Viral or allergic skin reactions are unaffected by these drugs.

Some acne is resistant to non-prescription treatment and a topical antibiotic may be prescribed. The most frequently used prescriptions for acne are clindamycin and erythromycin. While their mechanism of action is slightly different, both medications kill the bacteria that cause acne.

Topical antibiotics, like any medication, may cause side effects. Itching and burning are minor side effects, and usually subside on their own. Adverse reactions that may require the attention of a medical professional include rash, facial or lip swelling, sweating, chest tightness, difficulty breathing, fainting, dizziness, low blood pressure, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea, and tinnitus or hearing loss.

Before using any medication in tandem with a topical antibiotic, a patient should consult with his doctor or pharmacist to make sure that there is no potential for interaction. Clindamycin, for example, may enhance the effects of neuromuscular blocking agents. The use of topical corticosteroids is not recommended for use with these types of antibiotics because they may mask the signs of an allergic reaction or further infection.

One thing that I love about our topical antibiotic cream is the fact that one tube could possibly last for a decade or better. Okay, that may be a bit of an exaggeration, but I bet you know what I’m talking about.

A little bit of that stuff sure does go a long way, and I really do think that it helps with the healing process.

I particularly like to use it on all of my kids little mishaps; I can’t take them to the doctor for every one, but applying this cream makes me feel like I’m doing something to help. And, the fact is that I actually am.

Post 1

Whenever one of my children gets hurt I dig out mommy’s magic cream. Now it really doesn’t matter if we’ve got a scrape or not, we still get out the triple antibiotic ointment. It’s sort of a generic for Neosporin. I find it just as effective at a much lower price.

Anyway, this magic ointment certainly does make everything feel all better. Because I’m buying it at a steal of a deal, I don’t mind wasting a little on the bumps that it really can’t help. But for the ones that it does help it is irreplaceable.

Northwoods Spotlight - Rhinelander Sharp Shooter July 10 Submitted: 07/10/2013
RHINELANDER - Some hunting enthusiasts like to stay sharp be shooting sporting clays. A few even compete in area competitions. And then, there's the elite shooters. Rhinelander's Jim Sarkauskas is one of the top shooters in the state. He's earned his second All-American team honor in three years. "The points tallied not unlike NASCAR," Sarkauskas said. "The bigger events you get more points The high you finish, the more points you have."

Joe: Jim has been competing for 25 years. He's also the owner of Rancho del Zorro shooting academy. Teaching others the sport is almost as fun as winning. Jim will typically shoot about 500 rounds each week to stay sharp. A Typical competition may have between 600-800 rounds. Jim put the ultimate test to his teaching skills and had Joe Dufek take a couple of shots. "The key is hitting the targets where they're headed, not where they are," Jim explained. At first, Sarkauskas almost had Joe shooting like a pro. "I got it." But ultimately, Joe does need a little work. "Knew I wasn't going to hit them all." "What I enjoy is the individual competition just like in golf," Jim says. "It's you against the ball. It's you against the target. I prefer to shoot." Last weekend, Jim won the senior veterans title at a state competition in Hudson. He connected on 111 of 150 targets. In 1999, he won a world championship in 20-gauge shotgun.

Family Fishing Tournament held on Lake Tomahawk Submitted: 02/16/2013
Story By Hayley Tenpas

LAKE TOMAHAWK - Some younger fishermen proved they could reel in the big one Saturday afternoon.

Out on Lake Tomahawk hundreds of kids and adults took part in the Lake Tomahawk Fisheree.

It was the seventh year for the family fishing tournament.

Lots of food and prizes were given out.

A four hundred dollar prize went to the person with the biggest catch of the day.

Organizer Gary Drossart says people from all over the Midwest are coming back for more each year.

"It's a good time, it's a small area to fish right out here in the town bay. And it's kinda like a family thing. We have them come as far as Green Bay, Wausau. We have some people here from Merrill today, a couple of people come down from Michigan to fish it, and so it's a good thing," said Drossart.

About 200 people participated in the fisheree today.

But Drossart wasn't so sure the ice would be full this morning.

"Today was very nasty, started out very nasty, 14 below down here, I think it was actually 22 below in some areas. We didn't think we'd see many people until later in the day, and by 8 o'clock at registration we had a lot of people here. There were actually people standing in line waiting to register like at 7 o'clock already," said Drossart.

Drossart says Northern, largemouth bass and pan fish were the most popular catch today.

Next year the fisheree will be back, the third weekend in February.

Tremors Felt Around The State

An earthquake rocked the region early Friday morning.

There are no reports of significant damage or injuries after a moderate 5.2 earthquake rocked southern Illinois. The quake was centered near the town of New Salem, near Evansville, Indiana. However it could be felt all the way here in the Bluegrass and even as far south as Memphis.

It was sudden awakening for many across the region as the quake shook homes at 5:37 this morning.

State disaster and emergency officials are receiving scattered reports of small damage across western Kentucky and in Louisville.

According to Buddy Rogers with Kentucky Emergency Management, bricks came down from the facade of an older building in Downtown Louisville and a house in Logan County had three rooms where drywall cracked. Rogers also says bridges in Western Kentucky have been looked at and all are okay.

WHAS radio reported a water main break in Louisville may also be tremor related.

At this time, we do know that a 5.2 magnitude earthquake centered in Illinois hit at 04:36:57 AM Central, according to the United States Geological Survey Website.

27 NEWSFIRST is gathering more information. We will continue to update you on the air, as well as on 27

Ky. residents jolted by Ill. quake

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - An earthquake shook people awake across wide portions of Kentucky early Friday, prompting calls to authorities but causing little damage and no reported injuries.

The 5.2-magnitude temblor struck just before 4:37 a.m. (CST) and was centered six miles from West Salem, Ill., and 66 miles from Evansville, Ind. It was felt across a number of states.

Beverly Lee said her area "shook like crazy" in the Reed community in Henderson County but the quake caused no damage to her mobile home.

"It was just like someone was standing outside shaking that trailer," she said by phone from western Kentucky. "It shook my daughter right out of bed."

Chuck Wolfe, a state Transportation Cabinet spokesman, said the agency had dispatched inspectors to check out bridges, especially in areas closest to the quake's epicenter, out of an "abundance of caution." He said he had received no reports of damage to roads or bridges.

Wes Royse, a sales representative at WCLU radio station in Glasgow in south-central Kentucky, said the quake lasted as long as 30 seconds and shook him awake.

"It started out with a real fine shake, and then it got a little bit harder," he said.

In Louisville, the quake caused a bricks to fall off part of a building near downtown, and television video showed bricks strewn in the street and workers using equipment to remove them.

Chad Carlton, a spokesman for Mayor Jerry Abramson, said there were no reports of injuries.

Bill Stephens, news director at WSON-AM in Henderson, said he heard a rumbling when the quake struck, but said he had seen no damage to his home. He said his station received numerous calls from startled residents.

"There's a lot of fright with this one because of how strong it was and the time of day," he said.

Authorities across Kentucky also were inundated with calls.

Kentucky State Police dispatcher Natalie Alsip at the post in Henderson, just across the Ohio River from Evansville, said telephone calls poured in to the post and one man reported cracked plaster at his home.

Dispatcher Katrina Ellington at the state police post in Mayfield said there were many phone calls from western Kentucky locations, but no indication of injury or serious damage.

In far western Kentucky, no damage occurred at a uranium enrichment plant and operations continued as normal, said Elizabeth Stuckle, a spokeswoman for the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant.

Teacher Found Dead on Campus

Grief counselors were on hand Monday at Pulaski County High School after a teacher was found dead on the school's campus Friday evening.

According to Somerset Police, 32-year-old Scott McAninch was at the school to do some work at the time of his death. They say a colleague of his found him unresponsive.

The Pulaski County Coroner determined that McAninch died of a pulmonary embolism. Based on those results, police say their case is essentially closed. The coroner says McAninch did have some prior health issues.

McAninch taught sophomore and junior English, and coached the Baseball team.

Funeral arrangments are set for 1 p.m. Tuesday at Morris and Hislope Funeral Home in Science Hill.

Many students and staff wore maroon ribbons Monday in memory of the teacher and coach of 10 years.

Pulaski County High School is also helping with a scholarship fund for McAninch's young son.

One killed in NYC crane accident

NEW YORK (AP) - A crane that came off its base and crashed to the ground at a Manhattan construction site killed one worker and injured four others.

The worker who died was identified by police as 30-year-old Michael Simmermeyer of Burlington, N.J.

Officials say he was pronounced dead after the accident at the site of the No. 7 subway line extension. One other person was hospitalized in serious condition. Three other people were treated for minor injuries.

Jack Sullivan, deputy chief for the FDNY EMS, said it was possible one of the workers had been struck by the crane's boom. The crane operator and someone who worked with him were among those who were injured.

The cause of the collapse is under investigation.

With tips from TOPS, Halloween doesn't have to be a fright for your waistline

by jmaloni
Tue, Oct 25th 2011 04:25 am

Healthy and Halloween are not often used in the same sentence. Halloween is usually seen as a time to get dressed up, gather sugary treats, and enjoy the spookiness of the season. TOPS Club Inc. (Take Off Pounds Sensibly), the non-profit weight loss support organization, provides tips to stock the kids' bags with better treats, host a healthy party, and more.

Give Better Trick-or-Treating Goodies

It's inevitable that kids will receive candy, so parents should take steps to limit sugar consumption. Feeding children a nutritious meal before trick-or-treating will help curb their urge to snack on sweets. Once the candy is home, adults can let kids pick out their favorite pieces and decide how much to have each day. The remaining candy can be put out of sight, donated to charity, or thrown away. This helps parents from overindulging, too.

Neighbors can promote healthier habits and offer alternatives to candy, so kids can enjoy the spooky evening without sacrificing nutrition. Here are some ideas to give to trick-or-treaters:

•Skip the sweets and sugar and provide healthier options: animal crackers
• granola bars
• snack-size bags of pretzels
• trail mix
• graham crackers
• microwave popcorn
• sugar-free gum
• small boxes of raisins.

•Give treats that encourage playing rather than eating: bouncy balls
• sidewalk chalk
• temporary tattoos
• crayons
• fun pencils and fancy erasers
• yo-yos
• spider rings
• glow sticks.

Throw a Healthy Halloween Party

There are numerous treats and fall activities that can be incorporated into a Halloween party. Plan an event that gets guests of all ages moving and fills them with fun, good-for-you snacks.

•Replace sugary treats with nutritious party snacks. Apples with caramel or yogurt dip, roasted pumpkin seeds, apple cider, pumpkin muffins, a vegetable "skeleton," a melon carved like a brain, and seasoned pretzels are some fall-themed options that everyone can enjoy.

Here's how to make a vegetable skeleton at your next Halloween festivity:

1. Gather red pepper, a handful of carrot sticks, broccoli, some green beans, cherry tomatoes, a cucumber, celery sticks, cauliflower, or other vegetables.

2. Get creative and assemble the skeleton. You could use the sliced red pepper as its rib cage. The cauliflower can serve as the skeleton's hands and feet, and the carrots and celery could form its shoulders, arms and legs. Use the bowl of dip as its head.

•Get moving. Bob for apples, pin the nose on the witch or the pumpkin, go on a scavenger hunt, walk through a haunted house, or participate in a fall relay race.

•Shift kids' focus from food to an activity. Have craft stations where children can create masks out of paper plates, make slime, color, and more.

Halloween is time for slime. Learn how to make your own, courtesy of Disney's familyfun.go.com:

1. Materials: Two mixing bowls, measuring cups, spoons, glue, borax, green food coloring and water.

2. Instructions: Mix together 3/4 cup warm water, one cup glue, and several drops of green food coloring in the first bowl. Using the second bowl, combine four teaspoons borax and 1 1/3 cups warm water. Pour the contents of the first bowl in the second bowl. Do not stir. Let it stand for one minute, then lift the "slime" out of the bowl. Use plastic bags to store the slime. Keep away from children under three years old.

Nurses marching ANZAC day 1919

Our Anzac heritage is so much more than the official version we have been taught.

As far back as 1919, Vida Goldstein reported an Anzac day service as having three elements - glorifying Australians, grieving loss, and commitment to righting social wrongs.

Shouldn't this centenary be used to tell the whole story?

Troops returning Port Melbourne Pier 1919 State Library of Victoria

Will we continue to leave the stories about war and Australia’s identity to others to create and interpret? Or will we get together to share and record our own stories of those who have lost their lives or quality of life because of war.

Joy Murphy Wandin:
'When my Dad, as an ex-serviceman of WW1, returned to Coranderrk, (his home) and like so many of our Aboriginal men at that time, who served not only for their country but for their families so that there might be some equality in life later on ... he’d hoped that when he got back that his Mum would still be there and she was.

And she was one of five people, elderly people who said, “I’m not going. This is my place, I’ve had all my children here, I’ve brought all my children up here, I’ve raised them here. This is my country, this is my home, this is my husband’s place. I want to die here”. And so they were granted leave to stay.

But on return from the war, my father had to get permission from the police to visit his Mum and then he had to be escorted onto Coranderrk, and he was only allowed one half an hour with her before he was sent off to Lake Tyers in Gippsland...

So, Coranderrk was closed then officially in 1923 ...
the land was supposedly sold up for soldier settlement
http://www.abc.net.au/missionvoices cited in womenworkingtogether.com.au (underlining mine)

This is war and Australia's identity too. This other account, this other heritage, is seldom told.

I think it is timely to again take up our tradition of sharing stories so we will have something concrete to use to educate politicians and, more importantly, our children. Many of us have stories about our heritage:

• What about our heritage of activists who opposed WW1 such as Vida Goldstein?

• What about our heritage of veterans who, as quoted by the army chaplain who preached the Anzac service on the ship Orsova in 1919, were concerned about the social conditions that had killed their comrades before they entered the trenches and ... made them resolve that when they returned to civil life they would do all in their power to ‘right the wrongs under which their comrades had lived.’*

• What about our heritage of veterans the war didn’t damage greatly but the unemployment they had to endure when they returned did. A great-uncle of mine spent WW1 in New Guinea and didn’t see a shot fired, but on his return was unemployed and killed himself with rat poison.

• What about our heritage of those who didn’t make the war such as another great-uncle of mine who couldn’t enlist because of rheumatoid arthritis, but as he had no family and had an independent income when the war was over he gave his job to a returned soldier with a family to support, became depressed and - it is believed - suicided.

• What about our heritage of the War Widows Guild that decided it would ‘no longer take part officially in the Anzac Day Service in 1953 and organised a Remembrance Day (November 11th) ceremony in 1954 in its place for war widows, mothers and other relatives to mourn and grieve.’ (see below)

• What about our heritage of war widows living in unacceptable poverty and children brought up in unacceptable poverty because of war, and children who were proud of their fathers but pleased they didn’t return because of what they heard and saw of some men who did come home.
See womenworkingtogether.com.au Chapter 1919-1935 - Surviving.

And, of course, what about the shocking story Joy Murphy Wandin told us.

As a child I overheard stories of returned WW2 soldiers who could not recover and in their despair inflicted violence on their families. I felt the utter helplessness of the woman who recounted - ‘this isn’t the man I married’ after her hero husband had raped her. I remember my grandmother seemed to shrink as she observed so sadly ‘it happened after the last war, too’.

Even though they were the lucky ones, those strong women seemed powerless in the face of the consequences of war.

If we neglect stories like these, we are accepting a distorted and incomplete version of our herstory/history.

This is what our children will learn; our children, grandchildren and on to the future. What about honesty?

At the end of WW1 Australia was in a bad way and we were looking for an interpretation that makes us feel good about ourselves, I think. Some women who had been anti-war, however, interpreted the situation differently.

Woman Voter 22 May 1919: ‘The old order has not changed... The map will be changed, that is all.’

Woman Voter 3 July 1919: ‘Peace has come. Let those who can still deceive themselves celebrate it. Of peace I have little to say. It is unspeakable, what there is of it. We have saved the world from Germany. Heaven send something to save the world from us.The Home Government, through Mr Churchill, has quite frankly explained the necessity for preparing for perpetual war.

Woman Voter 18 December 1919: ‘The world is sick unto death, and the sources of Government - if we may put it so - polluted. The blockade is the devilish ant-climax of the war, the cold blooded, unimaginative concerted actions of our rulers, into whose hands we, with the other democracies, lie like puppets, dumb and obedient, guiltily impotent, or wickedly acquiescent to the awful horrors done in the name of the expediency by our representatives.

The anti-war activist Vida Goldstein also suggested in the Woman Voter:

‘The peoples, as well as the Governments, have sown the wind of misunderstanding and of hate and are reaping the whirlwind.’

In an open letter to the women of Australia at the start of the war in 1914 she appealed:

'History will proclaim you false if you are silent now. "Come out and be separate from all that makes for war.'

It was a long time ago, yet so many of their words are so significant today I looked further.

Even by 1916 the Women's Peace Army of the Women's Political Association had claimed:

'We do not say that this war was promoted with the deliberate object of crushing the workers, but we do say that: belief in Might, the fear of enemies without and within national boundaries, the use of the press, of armament firms, of secret diplomacy, under which the great mass of people live in avoidable anxiety, wretchedness and ugliness, had made such a clash of interests that a clash of arms between nations prepared for war ... became inevitable when circumstances and opportunity sounded the toscin of alarm.'
The Women's Peace Army, Pat Gowland from Women Class and History ed. Elizabeth Windshuttle, Fontana 1980 p.220

Fundraising badge, Gallipolli, 1919 Australian War Memorial

The Women’s Political Association vigorously opposed WW1 but kept Anzac day with respect, seemingly as a matter of course. Vida Goldstein spoke of it in her letters from shipboard when on her way to the Zurich conference in 1919.

The Woman Voter 7 August 1919:
H.M.T. Orsova, Nearing Suez, 28 April 1919,

Vida Goldstein:
 'The Anzac sermon was preached by an army chaplain; it was a glorification of the Australians, with some humorous sidelights. It had none of the dignity and impressiveness that one would have thought the occasion demanded, and offered no comfort to those present who had lost relatives at Gallipoli and on other battlefields.

He denied absolutely the oft-repeated statement that the Australian soldiers were undisciplined. They were splendidly disciplined, he said, but their disciplined conduct had no trace of servility.

He spoke feelingly of the social conditions that had killed soldiers before they entered the trenches; the evidence in the trenches of the terrible results of those social conditions had roused many men to the sense of their duty to their fellows, and made them resolve that when they returned to civil life they would do all in their power to right the wrongs under which their comrades had lived.

At last night's service Miss John sang very beautifully, "Oh, rest in the Lord." The passengers, as many of the crew as could get to where the service was held, and some Indian officers who are commanded by the King to visit England, and their "boys" hung on every note.'

Also, Janet Butler explains in her biography of a WW1 war nurse - Kitty’s War the remarkable wartime experiences of Kit McNaughton - some reasons the protagonist 'Kit' called herself an Anzac as early as 1915:

‘(S)he selects and privileges material that validates the (Anzac) legend, and simultaneously draws upon the constellation of qualities embodied in it - and lionised by it - to create her own images.’
University of Queensland Press p.17

But after WW1 women were amongst those who were progressively banned from participating; whether as nurses, mothers, or wives.

Joy Damousi describes this in The Labour of Loss Mourning, Memory and Wartime Bereavements in Australia:

'... By the 1930's mothers had lost their distinctive contribution to these public commemorations. On Anzac Day women's rituals became universalised as one, thus negating the specificity of mothers ... the categories of 'mother' and 'widow' were conflated into 'women' and they became marginal to the memory of war because they were no longer defined by their 'sacrifice' ...

This became a particular issue in Melbourne in 1938, when mothers and wives were reported to have 'intruded' into the dawn service. Towards 'the end of the procession', 'nearly one hundred women joined the double file of returned soldiers, and walked past the Rock...

The Age reported the dawn service in 1938 in terms of a sacred site, which was a male preserve where women had no place to be ... The Victorian secretary of the Returned & Services League (RSL) agreed that 'this intrusion tended to break down the spirit of the occasion'.

1954... 'Public Mourning became a contentious issue in relation to Anzac Day. In the 1953-54 annual report of the War Widows Guild, (Mrs Jessie) Vasey noted that 'a matter of concern' to the guild 'was that the Melbourne ceremony for Anzac Day 1953 'from the war widows point of view' met with 'almost universal disapproval'...

The widows' resentment of their neglect reached a crisis in the furore which arose over the Anzac day ceremony in 1954. (The War Widows Guild decided it would no longer 'take part officially in the Anzac Day Service under the present arrangements.’) They organised a Remembrance Day (November 11th) ceremony in 1954 in its place for war widows, mothers and other relatives to mourn and grieve.’
Cambridge University Pressp.155-6.
From Women Working Together suffrage and onwards womenworkingtogether.com.au

After that I found nothing except protests against Anzac day.

Women's Liberation leaflet 1979:
'Women walk against war...Wednesday, 24th April 6pm at the Anzac Shrine. On this evening we are walking away from the shrine in opposition to the things that are celebrated on the day that is called Anzac Day...’

Women Against Rape Press Release April 25 1979:
'Australian women are angry because today, as on past Anzac days, the celebrations have concentrated on glorification of the role men play in wartime and have totally ignored the fact that in war, as in peace, women have always born the brunt of male violence... During this year's Anzac day ceremonies, representatives of Melbourne Women Against Rape collective will be remembering the women raped in wars and intend to lay a wreath in their memory.

Postscript: Women Against Rape Collective (WAR) - Women attended the Anzac Day March wearing black robes with - 'REMEMBER WOMEN RAPED IN WAR' painted in bright red letters. On arriving at the shrine we were spotted by a rather anxious looking policeman who hurriedly went for assistance, bringing back with him another policeman and an Army Brigadier. The Brigadier, after some gentle persuasion, 'agreed' to let two women lay our wreath at the shrine steps.’ womenworkingtogether.com.au

At that time the singer/songwriter Judy Small sang of women raped in war in her haunting song Lest We Forget:

‘It’s not only men in uniform who pay the price of war - lest we forget.’

The twentieth century should have taught us the dangers of idealizing our past and documenting a part-truth only. Will we learn?

There has been an unbroken tradition of opposition to militarization, though. During WW1 the Women's Political Association (WPA) and the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) established a tradition of seeing war and militarism more broadly than guns; connecting war automatically to hunger, want, gender violence, etc.

After the war this tradition passed to individual women such as Doris Blackburn, Doris McRae and Joy Manton. Vida continued involvement with the women’s and peace movements, later including later anti-nuclear activism.

In the 1930’s there was a large peace demonstration at the Bijou theatre in Melbourne with 35 organisations officially represented.

In the ‘70’s and 80’s there was Women’s Liberation and Save Our Sons.

WILPF has been continually active since WW1. Today, groups such as the Medical Association for the Prevention of War (MAPW), Japanese for Peace, International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear War (ICAN), Women in Black (WIB) and The Society of Friends (Quakers) are, with WILPF, active today.

Are we?

I hope we can come together, online and in person, and document stories of our heritage of the effects of war. I hope that by our personal stories we can document the other story, the stories so seldom told.

I finish with another quote from Vida Goldstein from an open letter to the Women of Australia published in the Woman Voter at the start of the war (29 September 1914):

'Dear women of Australia, dear women of every shade of political and religious thought, come and let us reason together about war; the present war and war in general.'

If they had come together four or five years earlier, before war was declared, who knows what they could have done?

The politics of fear from the pro-war Australian Women’s National League (AWNL):

Woman’s Paper Melbourne 24th May, 1906:
‘We stand as the white man’s lonely outpost in Eastern Seas. Looming up above us are the mysterious, crowded lands of Asia.
Once their hordes went west, desolating everything before them. Now, they will come south should the opportunity ever be presented to them.

But that chance can only be given should Australia, in a fit of blindness, removes herself from the protection of Empire …

It is a happy sign of the times that the first plank of our newest political body, the Australian Women’s National League, is “Loyalty”.’ (Appendix 2 Prejudice and Reason some Australian women’s responses to war prejudiceandreason.com.au )

In 1916 the AWNL used Anzac day to call in support for conscription. The Woman 1 June 1916 cited in womenworkingtogether.com.au

Formed by brewers and employers in Parliament forming the Employers Federation, it was established to be anti feminist but it took on an identity of its own that included some feminist ideas.

It was active from 1904 to 1945, when it merged with the Liberal Party. The activism also continued through the DLP and the National Civic Council, the Endeavour Forum, Women Who Want to be Women, Women’s Action Alliance and the so-called ‘Moderate Feminists’ etc in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s, to groups that promote this philosophy today, in my opinion, such as the Women’s Forum.

Anti-war from the Women's Political Association

The Woman Voter

Formed by non-party Vida Goldstein (though she said that personally she was socialistic), in WW1 it created the Women's Peace Army to cater for people who did not want to keep strictly to a non-party line.

It also worked closely with WILPF.

After closing in 1919, activism continued through women such as Olive Schreiner and Doris Blackburn, Women’s Liberation in the 70’s and 80’s,

Groups such as Japanese for Peace, Medical Association for the Prevention of War (MAPW), International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear War (ICAN), Women in Black, are, with WILPF, active today. What is not active today is a group that carries forward the particular, amazing traditions of the WPA.

Perhaps it is time to reclaim the WPA, too. These responses to challenges women in the WPA faced ‘speak’ to us today about challenges we face, both as inspiration and warning.

Joey SEMZ – Rest In Peace – 1976 – 2007

“On Saturday, April 6th Joseph ‘SEMZ’ McCarthy passed away suddenly in his home on Staten Island.  SEMZ –VGL-GFC-IRAK was a legendary surface killer who left his mark just about everywhere in his time.  Most importantly he left his mark on all those he encountered, he was much loved for his honest and gentle soul.  All over the web and the walls of NYC tributes are popping up, keep your eyes open for many more in the days to come.  Please take a moment to reflect on the loss of a great believer.”
