The Best Historical Moments of the New Hampshire Primary

New Hampshire has been the proving ground for presidents. When the stakes are this high, there's always drama. Here's a look at some of the primary's most memorable moments.
President Harry Truman Pushed Out of 1952 Race
When Franklin Roosevelt died in 1945, Vice President Harry Truman finished FDR's term and won his own in 1948 in a close, three-way race. In 1952 Truman sought one more term.
But the Korean War was approaching its third year and widespread corruption among federal employees, including those in his administration, had been exposed. The unpopular president faced a strong challenge from Tennessee Senator Estes Kefauver, who Truman widely disliked because of his investigation of organized crime that revealed connections between Mafia figures and some in the Democratic political organization.
In the polls, Truman was the leading candidate among Democratic voters, but trailed Kefauver among independents. In the 1952 New Hampshire primary, Kefauver defeated Truman and won all of the delegates in the state. Less than three weeks later, Truman announced he would abandon his campaign and not seek a second full term. He wouldn't be the last sitting president to get knocked out in the Granite State.
Eugene McCarthy's Strong Finish Leads Lyndon B. Johnson to Withdraw in 1968
Eighteen years after Truman withdrew from the race, New Hampshire voters again forced another unpopular president to abandon his campaign. Lyndon B. Johnson assumed the office after President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963. Although he signed landmark civil rights laws and Medicare enactment, Johnson's presidency later was plagued by the Vietnam War.
No prominent Democratic candidate poised to challenge Johnson until antiwar Senator Eugene McCarthy from Minnesota entered the New Hampshire primary in 1968. The incumbent president defeated McCarthy by less than 10 points, but the close showing shocked the country and emboldened other antiwar liberals to enter the fray, including New York Senator Robert F. Kennedy.
Shortly after, Johnson dropped out of the race.
Ed Muskie Cries Before 1972 New Hampshire Primary
Secretary of State Ed Muskie was the leading Democrat running for president in 1972. His long tenure in the U.S. Senate and spot as Hubert Humphrey's running mate on the 1968 Democratic ticket made him the man to beat. Muskie won both the Democratic Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary over Senator George McGovern from South Dakota. But he eventually lost momentum in the wake of the dirtiest trick in New Hampshire presidential primary history: the so-called Canuck letter.
The letter was a forged document to the editor of the Manchester Union Leader that implied Muskie had made derogatory comments about French-Canadians, many of whom lived in northern New England. The FBI later discovered the Canuck letter was part of a campaign against Democrats.
The local newspaper also published an attack about Muskie's wife, Jane, saying she drank and used vulgar language while on the campaign trail.
Muskie responded by holding a press conference during a snowstorm outside of the newspaper's office. After the event, the media reported that Muskie had broken down and cried while speaking.
"I hope that the people of Manchester find a way to say…that they don't like his kind of journalism here in New Hampshire and that they say it in a way that they can make it stick," he said about the editor.
Presidential crying was less in fashion then. Muskie later said the tears that reporters saw were snowflakes that fell on his face. But the newspaper stories already had clouded some voters' image of him as a calm and stable contender, and his candidacy soon was obsolete.
Muskie's small win over McGovern in New Hampshire caused the underdog candidate to boast a comeback. Muskie's campaign eventually withered and he returned to the Senate.
Ronald Reagan "Paid for This Microphone" in 1980
In 1980, former California Governor Ronald Reagan, who was the Republican front-runner for the nomination, lost to George H. W. Bush in the Iowa caucuses. It was a huge upset. Reagan was a giant in the Republican party who nearly swiped the GOP presidential nomination from President Gerald Ford just four years earlier. Were Reagan to lose New Hampshire as well, his campaign would likely have been doomed.
Three days before the New Hampshire primary in 1980, the Nashua Telegraph offered to host a one-on-one debate between Reagan and Bush. When the Federal Election Commission said the newspaper-sponsored debate would violate rules by not including all of the candidates, a desperate Reagan fully funded the event with his own campaign money. Not long before the contest, Reagan invited the other Republican challengers. But upon hearing about Reagan's plans, Bush refused to include them.
The discussion about which candidates should be allowed to participate continued at the event. During the conversation, the newspaper's editor asked the soundman to turn off Reagan's microphone on stage. But Reagan responded: "I am paying for this microphone." The audience, as well as Reagan's Republican primary opponents, cheered after his response.
Reagan credited his remarks for winning him the primary and later the Republican nomination.
Bob Dole Tells George H. W. Bush to "Quit Lying" in 1988
Republican candidate Bob Dole was being interviewed by NBC News on the night of the 1988 New Hampshire primary. The longtime senate Republican won the Iowa caucuses and the incumbent vice president, George H. W. Bush, had come in third and desperately needed to win in the Granite State. Bush's campaign attacked Dole vigorously, saying he'd raise taxes.
During NBC's interview with Dole, Bush sat next to anchor Tom Brokaw inside the New York studio where he was broadcasting from, while Dole was interviewed live in New Hampshire. Brokaw asked Bush if he had anything to say to Dole. Bush wished him well in the next primaries.
But Dole, apparently surprised to see his opponent sitting next to Brokaw, responded to the same question: "Yeah, stop lying about my record." Dole's comment was his response to an advertisement in New Hampshire in which Bush accused him of "straddling" on taxes. Voters' image of Dole, long viewed as one of the angriest men in politics—a reputation that would soften in later years—took a hit and he lost the primary to Bush.
Bill Clinton's Letter on His Draft Deferment During 1992 Primary Season
Bill Clinton's letter on his draft deferment is viewed by historians as a turn in the pages for his sinking presidential campaign in 1992. His former Reserve Officer Training Corps recruiter, Colonel Eugene Holmes, had accused him of manipulation to avoid the Vietnam War draft years before the primary season.
Clinton sidestepped the draft by first receiving education deferments in college and then by enrolling in—but never joining—the ROTC. In the fall of 1969, he entered the draft but received a high number and was never called to serve.
In a letter he wrote to Holmes while he was a Rhodes Scholar at England's Oxford University in December 1969, Clinton described why he had declined to join the ROTC. He cited his "opposition" to the draft and the Vietnam War. He thanked Holmes for "saving" him from the draft, and apologized for misleading him by not disclosing his animosity for the international conflict.
Years later, a week before the New Hampshire primary, the letter was leaked and, at first, it seemed like the death knell of the candidacy for Clinton, who was the governor of Arkansas at the time. But his chief strategist, James Carville, had argued for the letter to be made public because voters, many of whom had opposed the Vietnam War, would relate to Clinton's position and, at the very least, it would show the authentic agonies of a young man wrestling with his conscience as opposed to the "Slick Willie" who his opponents depicted.
Following third place in the Iowa caucuses, Clinton came in second to former Massachusetts Senator Paul Tsongas in the New Hampshire primary. But he spun his defeat into a victory when he declared that the Granite State had made him "the Comeback Kid." He later became the first candidate to be elected president without carrying the primary.

That was nice and breathtaking views. I want to go to Sagada too. But not now becuase I know it was really too cold there.
breathtaking pictures.. no words can describe the beauty of nature.. you're luck to have a chance to witness it with your own eyes..
Great photos there! Just like in the postcards :)I would love to see those caves.
I haven't been there pero the photos almost brought me there na. the long hours of travel is worth it no/ I hope I can go there someday pag malaki na anak ko.
Never been to Sagada and I would love to visit it. Nice photos by the way.
Did you visit Bangaan and the Big Falls?
Oh, I've only been to Bokong falls. Bomod-ok falls was closed when we went there. Somebody in the tribe died so the area was closed to the public to respect their traditions.
The flowers, scenery and food are amazing! I want to go here too!
Wow! Seeing your pictures make me want to travel to Sagada more. It is one of those places that you would like to visit at least once in your life.
You should! It is so beautiful!

Re: Theology
ThinkProgress:
[Judge] Heyburn took particular exception to a "disingenuous twist" added to the state's argument this time, referring to Gov. Steve Beshear's (D) claim that it's too expensive to allow same-sex couples to marry. "These arguments," he wrote, "are not those of serious people," calling them "at best illogical and even bewildering." He could think of "no other conceivable legitimate reason" for Kentucky's laws banning same-sex marriage.
In his conclusion, Heyburn spoke directly to those who objected to his previous decision this year. "In America," he implored," even sincere and long-held religious views do not trump the constitutional rights of those who happen to have been out-voted." "Assuring equal protection for same-sex couples does not diminish the freedom of others to any degree… hopefully, even those opposed to or uncertain about same-sex marriage will see it that way in the future."
The decision has been stayed.

Disgraced officer's bestiality images 'abhorrent', says senior policeman
David Parkin bestiality images 'abhorrent' - senior officer
By James Roberts Reporter
Thames Valley Police HQ in Kidlington
A SENIOR police officer has described the actions of a disgraced special constable who was caught with bestiality images as 'abhorrent'.
David Parkin, who was based at Didcot Police Station, was dismissed from Thames Valley Police on Monday for possessing extreme pornography.
This included videos of men and women abusing a chicken, dog and other animals, and sexual images involving a corpse.

He resigned from the force with effect from May 7, but the force said he would have been dismissed if he was still serving.
Deputy chief constable, Jason Hogg, said: "Special Constable David Parkin committed criminal offences for which there can be no excuse.
"The images found on his phone during the course of the investigation are both illegal and abhorrent and there is no place within our force for someone who thinks being in possession of such images is acceptable."
Parkin's personal mobile phone was seized on July 20 last year and, on examination, it was found to contain several extreme pornographic images.

He was arrested on September 20 on suspicion of possession of extreme pornographic images and was summoned to court via postal requisition in February.
Parkin, of Washford Glen in Didcot, was sentenced at Oxford Crown Court last month, having pleaded guilty to three counts of having extreme pornography on his mobile phone.
He was sentenced to a two-year community order, a 10-day rehabilitation course, 120 hours of unpaid work and a financial penalty of £480 in court costs.
Monday's hearing, at the force's headquarters in Kidlington, was chaired by the chief constable John Campbell, who found SC Parkin's conduct amounted to gross misconduct.

TRANSPORTATION AND LOGISTICS BRIEFING: The future of urban transportation - Nvidia's new computer for fully driverless cars - Baidu nabs another self-driving partner

HOW CITIES CAN BENEFIT FROM CONNECTED, AUTONOMOUS TRANSPORTATION: Cities are grappling with decaying transportation infrastructure and booming populations driven by global urbanization. Meanwhile, new, digitally-enabled transportation services like ride-hailing are increasing total miles driven in urban centers, exacerbating traffic congestion, according to a new study from the University of California Davis. Managing these growing challenges will require cities to adopt software platforms to track and manage traffic across all modes of transportation, according to a new Deloitte report.
Such cross-service transportation management platforms, or "mobility operating systems," would:
Leverage APIs and other tools to connect traditional and alternative transportation services, including connected bus and rail services, and bike- and ride-sharing apps. This would allow the platform to provide citizens with trip planning tools that can help them get to their destination in the fastest or cheapest way possible using multiple services. It would also allow the city to manage public transit with real-time alerts, and give private transportation providers access to new data about consumers' transportation habits.
Collect real-time data from connected infrastructure, including smart parking meters and traffic lights. This will allow cities to track and manipulate street traffic in real time to ease congestion. Eventually, that infrastructure would include vehicle-to-infrastructure communication that would communicate directly with autonomous cars to help them navigate streets and find parking.
Integrate payment and ticketing across all modes of transportation, allowing the city to monetize the platform by turning it into a centralized payment mechanism for all transportation services. Additionally, the city could incentivize certain modes of transportation through discounts to relieve train delays or congested streets.
These capabilities could help cities improve the throughput of their transportation infrastructure - meaning they could move more people more quickly through their existing transportation networks, according to Scott Corwin, managing director of Deloitte's Future of Mobility practice, and co-author of the study. Funding and managing stakeholders' interests to build and manage such projects will be a major challenge for cities, Corwin said. However, the value proposition of monetizing the operating systems through ticketing and payments should help attract private sector funding, he noted. Additionally, the operating systems will lure private transportation services with data on where demand for their services is highest, and those services could bring millions of their existing users into the platform by joining.
NVIDIA'S NEW COMPUTER FOR LEVEL 5 AUTONOMOUS CARS: Nvidia, one of the leading players in the self-driving space, announced a new computing system, dubbed Pegasus, which the company says could power a a Level 5 autonomous car, The Verge reports. For context, Level 5 is the highest stage of autonomy when a car can drive itself in any scenario, making steering wheels and pedals unnecessary.
The Pegasus platform builds on top of Nvidia's existing Drive PX computing systems that are already used in many self-driving vehicle tests around the world. Nvidia's core graphics processing chips are popular for self-driving applications because of their ability to process large volumes of visual data very quickly. The company has partnerships with a number of automakers using its technology for their self-driving car tests, including Ford, Volvo, BMW, and Toyota. It also recently announced a joint test with logistics giant DHL, which will test self-driving delivery trucks equipped with Nvidia's Drive PX 2 computing system.
The new Pegasus platform has 10X the processing power of the Drive PX 2 platform, Nvidia's previous self-driving system. Like its predecessors, Pegasus ingests all of the data that self-driving cars generate from their camera, radar, and LiDAR sensors and quickly processes that data to create a map of the vehicle's surroundings. Pegasus will be available to automakers to use in self-driving tests in the second half of 2018.
Nvidia is trying to get ahead of the market with its system for Level 5 autonomy. Audi just showed off its new 2019 A8, the first vehicle for market with Level 3 autonomy, and the automaker still needs to get approval from regulators around the world to enable the system for use on public roads. Still, many players developing self-driving vehicles, including Waymo and Uber, are aiming to reach Level 5 autonomy and remove the need for a driver eventually. Waymo has already partnered with Nvidia rival Intel to power Level 5 autonomous cars. Additionally, California just cleared the way for the many companies testing self-driving vehicles in the state to move ahead with Level 5 autonomy test trials. Removing the driver is critical to enable the autonomous mobility services that Uber, Waymo, Lyft, and many automakers plan to launch with self-driving cars. So these companies will likely be gearing up in the next year or so to move forward with testing Level 5 technology.
BAIDU PARTNERS WITH CHINESE AUTOMAKER: Chinese search giant Baidu has partnered with automaker BAIC Group to mass produce self-driving cars. The companies plan to bring a Level 3 self-driving car to market by 2019, and to introduce a Level 4 self-driving vehicle by 2021. Level 3 autonomy is when an operator is still present and will intervene when necessary, while Level 4 is when a vehicle is fully autonomous and no driver intervention is required.
BAIC is one of many automakers using Baidu's open-sourced Apollo self-driving platform. Baidu has been working on self-driving technologies since 2014. In July, the search giant open-sourced the AI and cloud services behind its self-driving technologies. About seventy partners, most of which are automakers, now use the open platform. However, while many automakers built Baidu's software into their own systems, BAIC is working with the search giant to bring the cars to market.
The companies plan to build fleets of self-driving taxis, which puts them on a collision course with ride-hailing giant Didi Chuxing. The ride-hailing giant has also been working on self-driving cars for the last few years and now has 400 million registered users in China. Baidu and BIAC have an uphill battle in getting to market and attracting users for their self-driving taxis. However, since 75% of the country's consumers are willing or very willing to ride in a self-driving car, the market will likely be large enough for several players to succeed.
Hong Kong-based logistics startup Lalamove raised $100 million in Series C funding at a valuation of $900 million, according to TechCrunch. Shunwei Capital led the funding round, and was joined by Mindworks Ventures and Xianghe Capital. Lalamove provides on-demand transportation and logistics services like trucking and warehousing to businesses, similar to how Uber provides on-demand rides for consumers. The company will use the new funding to boost its share of the Chinese logistics market, which CEO Shing Chow estimates is currently worth $1.7 trillion per year.
Tesla has issued a voluntary recall for about 11,000 of its Model X crossovers over fears that a cable powering the adjusting second row seats may not allow the seats to lock into position when they fold up from the flat position, according to TechCrunch. This affects only about 18% of the 58,781 of Model X vehicles that the company has delivered since the end of 2015. The automaker says that while it believes only about 3% of the 11,000 vehicles are affected by this issue, they wanted to be extra cautious.
Ford invested an undisclosed sum in mobility startup Autonomic, according to The Verge. The investment will allow the automaker to build out urban mobility services that exclusively use Ford vehicles, such as the company's Chariot ride-sharing program. In addition, cities and other companies will be able to link to these future services in order to provide consumers with as many mobility options as possible.

Determining who should participate at an event, who should speak and in what order is a complicated undertaking, but the primary goal should always be to keep the program focused and interesting. Make sure there are clear messages that can be understood and appreciated by the audience.
How important is the announcement or event to Okanagan College priorities?
Is there significant political interest?
Will media be in attendance?
The President or his designate will represent Okanagan College at public events of significance, especially those that have pan institutional implications.
The Board Chair or his designate may be called upon to speak when the event or issue pertains to a matter of governance or areas that are wholly the purview of the Board (tuition, budget etc) or when it involves major initiatives or areas of special interest to the Board.
The President of the Okanagan College Foundation or his designate may speak when the Foundation receives a donation, makes a significant contribution to a project, at the launch of a campaign, an appeal for donations, or when Foundation-provided bursaries and awards are being distributed. The Foundation President will focus his or her remarks on the role of the Foundation and will not represent Okanagan College.
Nature of event (funding, program development, cultural, student-focused, community-focused, celebration of success, awards, alumni-related, employee-related, facility opening or project launch).
Once you have determined who will speak the next important step is to determine the order in which they will speak. This will mainly be influenced by the nature of the event. At a funding announcement, for example, having the funder's representative speak first to make the announcement allows others (President, Foundation Board President, students, etc.) to respond and thank the funder. In the event of a ribbon-cutting, however, it may make sense to follow a reverse ascendancy (see Order of Precedence below).
At any event organized by Okanagan College or the Foundation, the Board Chair, Education Council Chair, Board members, Foundation President, and Okanagan College President should be acknowledged if they are in attendance. Unless otherwise determined, attendees will be acknowledged according to the Order of Precedence.


Pollster Lee Miringoff said in an interview that aired Thursday on "Rising" that an independent run from former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz could damage Democrats in various swing states in 2020.
"Three percent in Florida is enough to tip it potentially, or Michigan or Wisconsin," Miringoff, director of the Marist Poll, told Hill.TV's Jamal Simmons on Wednesday.
"That's where the damage is potentially from a Howard Schultz," he continued.
"Michael Bloomberg didn't want to run four years ago as an independent because he did not want to cost Hillary Clinton Hillary Diane Rodham ClintonMcAuliffe says he won't run for president in 2020 Chuck Todd slams reports that DOJ briefed Trump on Mueller findings: 'This is actual collusion' Crowdfund campaign to aid historically black churches hit by fires raises over M MORE the election," Miringoff said. "Right now, Howard Schultz is not at that point, but he may end up there."
Schultz has made headlines since announcing on Sunday that he was contemplating a run as a centrist, independent.
Democrats, including 2020 hopeful Julián Castro, have voiced alarm at the idea, saying Schultz could split the ticket, and in turn hand President Trump Donald John TrumpHouse Dems demand Barr cancel 'inappropriate' press conference on Mueller report DOJ plans to release 'lightly redacted' version of Mueller report Thursday: WaPo Nadler accuses Barr of 'unprecedented steps' to 'spin' Mueller report MORE a second term.

Csi - Season 6
The whole tv show is really memorable. It is a pleasure for me to have a good tv show, a few intelligent speakers, and these collective speeches reveal the central idea of the tv show. The term 'Best' is as you know a relative term. What you or I consider as the best may not even be in someone else's list. So the general rule is to proclaim the one which majority of the folks like as the best. Nevertheless, according to me the following can be regarded as some of the finest tv show ever made. There are some stages in this tv show that I will remember them until death. The quintessence of this production are dialogues between the great cast. Guaranteed that after his screening everyone wants to watch it once again. ...Seriously, I want to watch this tv show online again. It was absolutely good!.

Arabian Ranches Market Day and Being MOM.
I think one of the best things about being Mom is the love that I am constantly surrounded with. Theres a never ending supply of hugs and affection from every quarter in my home. I feel so blessed that I have sons who are always so happy to please me. If a woman wants to feel like a queen, she just has to have sons like I do. I know I havent been the best of Moms. I, like most mums, have a truck load of shortcomings, and probably becoz my boys have not seen any better, they feel, I am the Best !
I know I am hard on them.
I know I push them with their studies.
I know I dont put as much time with them as I would want to, in playing games or in any creative activity.
I know the supper is not always on time, and sometimes, Manu, is only too happy to have his banana and chocolate milk to sleep off ..
I know I have little control on the scale of my vocal cords.
I know I am mean sometimes, I know I am weak sometimes, I know I havent tried enough sometimes, and I know I have tried too hard sometimes but being Mom, so many things get accepted by these young boys who know no better that I am merely a mother trying to fix too many problems, multitasking all the time and frustrated most of the time..
Last friday, we participated in the first fair since samie's surgery, 6 months back. The amount of hardwork and teamwork I got from my below 10 year olds would put any management team to shame. Piling up the materials, walking past the field with heavy boxes in arm, helping mom lay out the display stalls, hear her mouthfull of panicky screams and shouts, and then actually manage a table all by themselves…. where do you get such children mashallah !!
They are truly amazing. Allah swt must really love me for such a super fantastic gift.
Please enjoy watching my family making the most of the Arabian Ranches Market day !

'I was freaking out': Trophy deer dodges three bullets from couple before wife bags it
'I flinched right before I shot and I immediately knew I missed him. It's been a long time since I've had a deer shake me up, but he shook me up like I was 12 years old shooting my first buck.'
Brian Broom
Mississippi Clarion Ledger
Mature bucks are difficult to harvest. Their sense of smell, hearing and ability to sense danger make them a challenge for even the most experienced hunters.
One particular South Delta buck had an unusual defense. His 146-inch rack, with thick bases and long main beams, made hunters so nervous it appeared no one could hold a rifle steady enough to shoot him.
"I first saw him last year," said Thomas Garland of Onward. "I had an encounter with him, but his main beam was broke off at the G2. There wasn't any point in killing him like that."
The broken antler was the buck's pass to live another year, but Garland had his sights set on the buck this season. Photos of the buck began appearing on game cameras in early December. His rack was bigger than before.
Garland hunted the same stand where he encountered the buck last season and although he was seeing some good bucks, the one he was after never appeared. On Christmas Day, that changed.
Garland walked outside to get his gear out of his truck for an afternoon hunt. As he got ready and began walking to his stand, he kept his eyes on a group of does feeding in a field 500 yards to his right. He was so fixed on the feeding deer, he almost didn't notice the buck standing directly in front of him.
'HE WAS SKIN AND BONES':Deer on brink of death in Warren County tests positive for CWD
Big deer dodges a bullet ... twice
"It was him," Garland said. "I had to hit the ground.
"I ranged him at 360 yards. I ended up taking a shot at him off the ground and I missed him."
The situation and Garland's nerves had gotten the best of him, but he was in a stand the next day. The buck didn't show. However, Garland would get another chance.
"The following morning I was in a stand," Garland said. "I'm hunting a big field. I could see across the field into the woods."
Garland saw movement. Two does were slowly walking in the woods while feeding. The big buck was following. While he could see the buck, he had no clear shot. Garland watched the buck trail the does. As each minute passed, his blood pumped faster.
After 10 minutes of watching, Garland finally got a clear shot.
"I flinched right before I shot and I immediately knew I missed him," Garland said. "It's been a long time since I've had a deer shake me up, but he shook me up like I was 12 years old shooting my first buck."
FOR SUBSCRIBERS:An accident broke his neck. Now, hunting and friends are helping a Mississippi man recover
Deer hunter calls for support
Garland called his wife, Victoria, and told her the buck had run toward another stand and encouraged her to to go there and hunt him. She was less than enthusiastic because she'd just returned home from her morning workout and had not eaten.
Even so, she gathered her gear, some snacks and went to the stand. The snacks didn't last long, though. She left and went home for lunch.
Victoria returned to the stand about 2 p.m., but wasn't hopeful. Mississippi was experiencing a heat wave and she didn't feel deer would be very active.
"I sat out there for a while and felt like I should have had on suntan oil," Victoria said. "Instead, there I was in camouflage."
The afternoon passed uneventfully. Victoria saw some young bucks and does, but nothing else. Victoria admitted she was paying more attention to her phone than she should have been. When she looked up from her phone, she panicked.
"He was straight in front of me," Victoria said. "I was so nervous because there were no mature does out there so I knew he wasn't going to be there long."
MISSISSIPPI DEAR HUNTING:Patience and perseverance pay off with Coahoma County giant
Two more missed shots — or was it one?
Victoria grabbed her rifle and took a shot, but said she was shaking and so nervous that she missed. Strangely, the buck didn't run. Maybe he'd grown accustomed to people shooting at him and missing.
"He wasn't alarmed," Victoria said. "He stood perfectly still."
Victoria chambered another round, took a deep breath and fired again. The buck didn't act like he was hit, she said, but he did run away.
Victoria was convinced she'd missed again. She said she saw nothing about the shot to indicate the deer was hit and there was no blood to be found. The hunt seemed over.
Victoria said after she and Garland arrived home, she spoke with a neighbor who was nearby when she fired. He said the impact of the second bullet sounded like it hit the buck. She and Garland took their tracking dog, outfitted with a GPS collar, to the field and let him do his job.
'HOLY SMOKES':Deer hunter likely bags one of Mississippi's Top 10 8-points on record
Big buck down
It wasn't long before their GPS unit indicated the dog had stopped. Victoria said she was expecting the dog to move at any moment, but he didn't.
"We ran in there," Victoria said. "I was freaking out.
"I totally thought I'd missed this deer and there he was, dead as a door knob. I started crying. I was loving on the dog and crying. I hugged Thomas. It was just the best moment. There was so much adrenaline and excitement."
There was plenty to be excited about. The 8-point gross-scored 146¼ with 5½-inch bases, 25 inch main beams and a 23-inch spread. It is the biggest she's harvested to date.
Garland said he's become the subject of lighthearted jokes among friends, but long after the jokes are gone he'll have a reminder of how he missed the buck twice only to have his wife harvest it.
"Now I get to look at that deer on the wall the rest of my life thinking, 'That should have been my deer,'" Garland said.

The badge is in good condition but it does have a very different field repay that many collectors to see as it adds character to the badge its self. The maker to this beautiufl badge is (Assmann) marked on the reverse of the badge. This badge would be a great addition to any collection.

Why is it so hard for my ex to let me go?
Llforyou22 Follow
ex broke up with me in 6 months ago. said he wanted to be single so I let him go. But he has not left me alone since. Every other week, it's calls on *67 , messages on fake instagrams... He's told me he loves me multiple times yet has gone out with other girls which is fine bc he is single. Most recently I had him blocked and he blew up my phone.
I told him I moved to the next city away. He begged to come take his boat out with me. He's said he misses our friendship and I've made it clear I don't want to be friends. He's obviously attracted to me and I'm attracted to him. He ended up coming and bringing his boat and we had a great trip. Felt like we were in a relationship again. We went out to a bar and he got upset bc I was speaking to another guy. The lady we met at the bar said he told her he doesn't want to lose me as a friend but also doesn't want to see me with someone else and that he seems confused. But he doesn't want to feel pressured into a relationship. He told me he felt they way when we first got together ( but that it was his own fault). We moved quickly in our relationship. Anyway, When we came back from the trip, he even invited me to his parents house on Christmas Eve and they were so happy to see me. Two nights later , I go to get my jacket from his house and he had another girl over. It was a big blow out and he said he loves me but he's not in love with me and he doesn't want to feel pressured. I told him love is a choice and that butterfly feeling will eventually go away.
Then I asked for my jacket back, I saw it in the kitchen and he tried to tell me he left it in his friends truck!! Trying to have a reason to see me again. Thankfully I got it back. I just don't understand, if he's got other girls, why won't he just let me go. I just can't fathom being this confused. But now I am because usually once you meet someone else, you move on. But he's met other girls but still doesn't leave me alone.

My guess is he's playing you, he wants to control you but doesn't at all want to commit to you, in other words he wants the hangouts and the sexual without you being his only one but with him being the only one for you, it's not love it just hurts his ego when he sees you with someone else
(45 Plus)
Seems like he wants you but without a commitment and likes being free when it suits him. He needs to grow up and make a decision, he can't have both

Coach K Expects LeBron To Play With Olympic Team
http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/basketball/u-s-basketball-coach-mike-krzyzewski-i-lebron-james-play-talking-prepping-summer-olympics-london-article-1.1099998
Mike Krzyzewski expects LeBron James to play for the U.S. Olympic team.
Again balancing coaching duties between the U.S. and Duke, Krzyzewski also confirmed Thursday that guard Andre Dawkins would redshirt this season for the Blue Devils.
Speaking less than two weeks before the candidates for the Olympic team begin practice in Las Vegas, Krzyzewski said he's deep into his preparations. While it's not certain yet who will be going to London, he said matter-of-factly that "I know LeBron will play."
"I'm proud of LeBron and where he's at right now, and I do think that when you're that great a player, that great a talent, that you learn openly, Krzyzewski added. You don't go learn in private. You're out there while you're learning, and while you're learning, you're going to be criticized for the things that you're in the process of learning. … There's some things you cannot learn unless you're in that moment. Like, you can't rehearse it.
"You can't feel it until you're in the moment of a finals, a gold medal game, a seventh game, a national championship. He's been in two of those moments, and I think he's shown in this series that he's learned from those moments."
James was part of the Krzyzewski-led team that won Olympic gold at the Beijing Games four years ago, and he presently has the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals.
Injuries have thinned the pool of players from which Krzyzewski and USA Basketball will select the U.S. roster.
With Dwight Howard, Derrick Rose, Chauncey Billups and LaMarcus Aldridge among those hurt, the Americans had to obtain permission from the U.S. Olympic Committee to add James Harden and Kentucky All-American Anthony Davis to the pool long after the original deadline so they would have 18 players.
The combination of the condensed NBA season, late playoffs and an earlier Olympics has eliminated the buffer between the events and means "you're going to have a mentally different team and a physically different team, Krzyzewski said.
We don't even know who the guys on the team are yet because we have to wait until we get them in Vegas to see where they are physically, family and contractually. Those three things, that I've learned over the last seven years, can cause a change just like that, he added, snapping his fingers. And then you have to be prepared for it."
Krzyzewski had previously said a decision on Dawkins likely wouldn't come until the fall. Dawkins' father has said his son is still dealing with his sister's death in 2009 in a car wreck while traveling to one of his games.
When Krzyzewski ran down the list of his rising seniors Thursday, he didn't mention Dawkins. Asked about the omission, Krzyzewski responded: "Because we're redshirting him."
"That's what we said, and we're going to do that, he added. I'd rather not talk too much. It's time for him to step away, and it's the right thing. That's the right thing."

Summer tips for parents & questions to help protect your children - never let your guard down.
Who is babysitting your child or keeping them while you work?
Talk to your kids about their day or what happened while you were away.
Did anyone do something unusual; and tell the child not to tell anyone?
Did someone touch them inappropriately in their private area & promise to buy or give them gifts or toys? Was a child told to keep it between the individual and their self?
Talk to sitters about any weapons or access to unsecured weapons in the home or facility. Teach children to report to an adult any found weapons or guns. Teach them not to touch it!!
Don't talk to strangers and do not get into vehicles with strangers.
Summertime kids are home from school and outside playing. Be extra vigilant for kids riding bicycles, playing around and behind vehicles.
Don't leave your kids in hot cars!!! Always check the rear passenger seat area. Make it a habit to look at your child's car seat.
On April 29, 2015, Officer Fleming spoke to the kids at Southside Elementary School for Career Day.
On November 13, 2014 Cleveland Police Department officers presented students at MET Headstart with safety tips: "Vehicle Safety Seatbelts"/ "Child Car Safety Seats, "Stranger Danger", ect.
Saturday, August 2, 2014 - Cleveland Police Officers Erica Fleming and Kristie Rocha got to hang out with Disney cartoon characters during the "Back to School" event held at the Cleveland Civic Center. This event was able to provide much needed school supplies for many area students.
Other local businesses and vendors along with the Cleveland Police Department set-up booths and collected school supplies, and some of our police officers helped personally to fund extra supplies that were offered to those attending the event.
"Something positive, and a sharing of encouragement to our youth, that education is the key to being eligible for higher accomplishments in life."
Several kids visited the Cleveland Police Station on July 10th and got a tour of the facility and a talk about police job responsibilities, child safety, training and education. We start recruiting early here in Cleveland.
Officer George Suarez and Police Chief Broussard did the tour and talk.
Recently, Cleveland Police Department Officers Sergio Lopez and Derrick Pohts visited with the kids at MET Headstart and the students were taught the importance of wearing seat belts, using safety car seats, gun safety, and given information on other youth safety issues.
The students enjoyed sitting inside the patrol cruiser acting as police officers, activating the emergency equipment, and talking on the in-car PA system and singing the song: "Bad Boys, Bad Boys; what you gonna do when they come for you, Bad Boys"….!
The officers as well as the students enjoyed the fun-filled event.

Murder charge laid in death of Tina Fontaine
Category: Canada News
Published Friday, December 11, 2015
WINNIPEG -- A man has been charged with second-degree murder in the death of a Manitoba teenager whose fate galvanized calls for an inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal girls and women.
Tina Fontaine was just 15 years old when her body, wrapped in a bag, was found in the Red River in August 2014. She was supposed to have been in a group or foster home in Winnipeg, but she had run away.
Winnipeg police say Raymond Joseph Cormier, 53, was arrested in Vancouver this week. He remained in custody on Friday while arrangements were being made to return him to Winnipeg.
"Investigators know that Tina was highly vulnerable and was exploited during her time on the run," deputy police Chief Danny Smyth said at a news conference in Winnipeg.
"Investigators discovered that Tina frequented a residence on the east side of the city. Investigators also discovered that Raymond Cormier often frequented that same residence.
"It's believed that Tina and Cormier were acquainted."
Smyth said Cormier is originally from New Brunswick but has lived in Winnipeg for some years. Smyth said Cormier has a long criminal history with convictions across the country that include violent offences.
Calls for an inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women intensified after Fontaine's death, but the Harper Conservatives refused to hold one. The new federal Liberal government announced this week that it will go ahead.
"The murder of this child -- and let's not forget she was a child -- has shocked and outraged our community. And I think that outrage has resonated across the nation," Smyth said.
Tina had spent much of her life with her great-aunt, Thelma Favel, on the Sagkeeng First Nation, about 70 kilometres northeast of Winnipeg. The girl had a history of running away and went to Winnipeg about a month before her death to visit her biological mother.
Favel had asked a child-welfare agency for help with Tina.
The girl was in a vehicle pulled over by two officers more than a week after she was first reported missing July 31, 2014, but she was not taken into custody. Her body was found nine days later.
Police said their investigation had not determined whether the officers knew Tina's identity at the time, or whether they were aware she had been reported missing.
Favel said the officers did know the girl had been reported missing. She said that social workers told her that on that night -- a few hours after police came across Tina -- the girl was found passed out in an alley downtown. Paramedics took her to a nearby hospital.
Favel said Tina was kept for a few hours until she sobered up, then social workers picked her up at the hospital. She ran away again, was reported missing again, and was found in the river on Aug. 17.
"Society would be horrified if we found a litter of kittens or pups in the river in this condition. This is a child. Society should be horrified," Sgt. John O'Donovan said at the time the body was discovered.

My Takeaway (so far) From Judge Rhodes' Detroit Bankruptcy Hearing (and Grand Bargain misgivings)
January 22, 2014 by CultureGrrl
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes
I've learned (from cases like this) that trying to interpret judges' off-the-cuff comments in courtroom hearings is like trying to read tea leaves: They may be tipping their own hands or they may merely be playing devil's advocate, attempting to draw out further insights and greater clarity from the attorneys arguing a case.
That said, Judge Steven Rhodes seems to have made all the right noises at this morning's hearing on whether to monetize the Detroit Institute of Arts' [DIA's] collection.
As reported in Nathan Bomey's live blog for the Detroit Free Press (which will resume later today) and again in his and Mark Stryker's recap of the court proceedings, here are a couple of this morning's juiciest interchanges:
"Whether any of us like it, the art is in play," said Vince Marriott, an attorney for several European banks.
Rhodes interjected: "I have to say that that is not altogether clear to me at all. It depends on what you mean by 'in play.'"
And here's an interchange between Rhodes and Alfredo Perez, representing bond insurer Financial Guaranty Insurance, one of the city's key creditors:
Perez: "My client looks at it [the DIA's art] as an asset that cannot [sic: I think live-blogging Bomey meant to type "can"] be monetized."
Rhodes: "But the fact that you look to it doesn't make it so. You have to be careful what you ask for. If you ask for a ruling that the art is part of the case, you might not get that ruling. [Emphasis added.]
We can only hope!
During a lull in the action, Bomey allowed himself, on his live blog, to editorialize briefly. He raised an issue that I have thought about, but dared not write about (until now).
Bomey wrote:
You can be absolutely certain that some Detroit creditors will fight the deal, regardless of how much foundations and the state raise [my link, not his]. Legal structure of the deal will be crucial, too: Does the money go directly to pensioners? Or into the general bankruptcy settlement pot? [Emphasis added.]
This was a question that troubled me when I first learned that the foundations contributing to the Grand Bargain were stipulating that the funds that they had pledged to, in essence, purchase the city-owned museum's independence had to be "directed exclusively to the pensions owed to retired city employees," in the words of the would-be benefactors in their recent opinion piece in the Detroit News.
Do private foundations have a right to dictate to city or state government and/or to the emergency manager how to earmark those funds? The donors can certainly say, "Take it or leave it," but the correct answer, from the government's point of view, might well be, "Leave it."
The last thing I want is for this Grand Bargain to fail, which is why I've squelched my doubts until Bomey's published remarks retriggered them. I understand why, from a political and moral point of view, everyone involved in the Grand Bargain wants the rescue of the DIA to be linked to a rescue of the pensioners. But I do think that a more equitable Grand Bargain would be one giving the city and/or emergency manager due discretion on how to use the donated funds…with the needed approval of Judge Rhodes.
