Since ‘The Wild One’ in the 1950s the world has been fascinated with the mythic culture of the American biker. Who are these people with the loud motorcycles, leather jackets, tattoos, and long beards? Where are they going as they roar through town in large packs? And what do they do when they arrive wherever they’re going? I RIDE is the film that finally tells the true-to-life story of the biker community in America.
Through the eyes and music of The Fryed Brothers Band, I RIDE will take you on an illuminating road trip through the biker world: bare knuckle fights you actually sign up for, wild bar-b-ques and camp outs, and partying raw and rowdy at some of the biggest hard core biker festivals. This trip will wind up at Sturgis, South Dakota for a Fryed Brother Band performance to end all performances.
The Fryed Brothers Band? They’re the best band you’ve probably never heard of. For 29 years they’ve been the exclusive ‘house band’ of America’s Biker Movement. Every year The Fryed Brothers headline most of the preeminent biker events in America including the Easyriders Show in Sacramento, CA, Rip’s Bad Ride in Irvine, CA, Ghost Mountain Riders Show in Salinas, CA, the Circle of Pride in Iowa, and most importantly, ‘Sturgis Bike Week,’ the largest gathering of bikers in the world, which completely takes over the small town of Sturgis, South Dakota every August to celebrate this outlaw culture.
When they were young, Harry and Tommy Fryed’s older brother Mark died in a accident while riding his beloved Harley. The brother’s resolved then to keep Mark’s memory alive through a devotion to the motorcycle culture and the music he loved... and thus was formed The Fryed Brothers Band. The song ‘I Ride’ -- a key song in their repertoire and in the documentary -- is a tribute to their fallen brother.
I RIDE, the film, is a tribute to their perserverance, dedication and love of all things biker.

The first superintendent of the goal was John McDonald, who served in this post for fifteen years, during which time he did much to establish the prison and its associated activities. The philosophy of prisoner rehabilitation was changing from earlier ethos of punishment and isolation.
The aim was to provide prisoners with a full day of constructive activity and isntruction which would equip them with life skills. In addition, the financial strictures of the colony made it desirable for the prison to be as self-sufficient as possible. McDonald showed considerable initiative and perserverance in meeting these demands.

Detail has always been the focal point of my pieces. Even the smallest applications I seldom overlook which is evident with the facial expression in my carvings. At 1:24 scale, it's a challenge to effectively capture a pose in battle -to make the process realistic and believable.
I have had many frustrating moments in my early years, but with perserverance I overcame and can now produce figures that even I find amazing.
Producing one figure can take anywhere from six hours to two days -depending on the amount of detail.
These concepts are achieved by posing myself before a mirror, then illustrating the 'movement'. It is then applied to wood for carving.

Company C, 24th Massachusetts Infantry
History of Allen and Woodson Counties, Kansas: embellished with portraits of well known people of these counties, with biographies of our representative citizens, cuts of public buildings and a map of each county / Edited and Compiled by L. Wallace Duncan and Chas. F. Scott. Iola Registers, Printers and Binders, Iola, Kan.: 1901
GEORGE MENTZER.
The veteran scildier who risked his life in defense of the flag, all things else being equal, takes high rank as a citizen. This may be partly because of the quality of the patriatism of the American public, but there is another reason for the pre-eminence of the veteran. The man who has the form of character to win distinction as a faithful defender of his country possesses the resourceful perserverance so necessary to success in olher fields, and this is abundantly verified in the life of George Mentzer,. wlio loyally followed the starry banner during the Civil war and is now one of the enterprising and properous agriculturists of Woodson county, where he has ma,hj his home since 1869.
A native of Stowe, Massachusetts, he was born June 12. 1838, and is son of Phillip A. and Orinda (Miles) Mentzer. The father, a native of Germany, died in .Massachusetts in 1844, and his widow was buried by the side of her hiishami oii the old home place in the Bay state. Tliey had
ten children, but only three are now living: Rufus, of Et. Morgan, Colorado; Mrs. Sarah A. Green, of Boston. Massachusetts, and George of this review.
The last named was reared in his native village until sixteen years of age, when he emigrated to Illinois and became a farm hand, being employed in that capacity for about two years. He then went to Chicago, where he secured a situation as clerk in a grocery store, aha acting as assistant in a butchering establishment. Upon leaving the city he returned to Massachusetts to visit his mother and while there he learned the trade of a comb maker, the combs being manufactured from the horns of cattle. He also improved his literary education by attending school. He was still in his native state when the Civil war broke out and there he enlisted as a member of company C. Twenty-fourth Massaehusetts infantry, which was sent to Annapolis and on to North Carolina and thence to South Carolina, being discharged in front of Petersburg, Virginia. iVmong the important engagements in which he participated were the battles of Roanoke Island, Newberne. White Hall Goldsboro. Kingston. Bermuda Hundred and Petersburg. He did duty in front of the Rebel fort which was blown up by a Pennsylvania regiment. In all of his three years' service he was never wounded, but was always found at his post of duty faithfully defending the starry banner— the emblem of an undivided union.
When the war was ended Mr. Mentzer returned to Massachusetts and spent the succeeding winter in Boston, after which he turned his attention to farming. He then again made his way to Illinois, where, prior to the war. he had aided in establishing the first hotel in Kewaunee. He remained a resident of Henry county and was engaged in the butchering business until 1869, when he came to Wondson county, Kansas, settling on section six. Center township, where he has fince made his home, his labors being given to the improvement of his farm. He now has a rich tract of land, the alluvial soil yielding good harvests for the work bestowed upon it.
In Henry county, Illinois. Mr. Mentzer was vmited in marriage to Miss Emeline Minnick. a daughter of John Minnick, a Pennsylvania German, who had a family of five daughters and one son. The wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Mentzer was celehrated on the 1st of January, 1867. and they are now the parents of eight children, as follows : Charles 0., who married Nettie Wells: John F., who married Anna AVells : Susie May: Henry A.: Phillip E., who is now a student of the State Agricultural College of Kanisas: Ernest E. : Clara E. and Clarence A. Although the Mentzer family
have usually been Republicans, George Mentzer cast his first presidential vote for the Democratic nominee in 1860. and is now a Prohibitionist.

In today's world, a couple who has been married for 27 years is a rarity. My wife, Brandi, and I have been married for that long. One thing I know is you don't stay married for that length of time without going through fire. We have had our fair share of fire, for sure.
In the beginning of our marriage I was not a believer. That put a huge strain on us. The first 7 years of our marriage was pretty rough. I was not following the Lord and leading like I'm supposed to. On several occasions, we were on the verge of divorce. But in 2001, I did surrender to Christ and things got better, not because of us but because of Him.
However, things weren't all rainbows and unicorns after I was saved. I had an addiction to pornography that started when I was in middle school. Obviously, my wife was unaware but with any sin, light was shown upon the darkness. Sadly, my addiction still continued after she found out and again our marriage suffered to the point of divorce. But God saved me from my addiction and I have been delivered from it since. He worked a miracle in me and saved our marriage.
But as always, life gets in the way of happiness. Job, children, finances etc. were all distractions to our marriage. Many hurts happened and we had grown apart. It felt like we were spiraling towards separation again but again God intervened. It was like he hit me over the head with a frying pan. He showed me that I was too focused on self.
Since ‘The Wild One’ in the 1950s the world has been fascinated with the mythic culture of the American biker. Who are these people with the loud motorcycles, leather jackets, tattoos, and long beards? Where are they going as they roar through town in large packs? And what do they do when they arrive wherever they’re going? I RIDE is the film that finally tells the true-to-life story of the biker community in America.
Through the eyes and music of The Fryed Brothers Band, I RIDE will take you on an illuminating road trip through the biker world: bare knuckle fights you actually sign up for, wild bar-b-ques and camp outs, and partying raw and rowdy at some of the biggest hard core biker festivals. This trip will wind up at Sturgis, South Dakota for a Fryed Brother Band performance to end all performances.
The Fryed Brothers Band? They’re the best band you’ve probably never heard of. For 29 years they’ve been the exclusive ‘house band’ of America’s Biker Movement. Every year The Fryed Brothers headline most of the preeminent biker events in America including the Easyriders Show in Sacramento, CA, Rip’s Bad Ride in Irvine, CA, Ghost Mountain Riders Show in Salinas, CA, the Circle of Pride in Iowa, and most importantly, ‘Sturgis Bike Week,’ the largest gathering of bikers in the world, which completely takes over the small town of Sturgis, South Dakota every August to celebrate this outlaw culture.
When they were young, Harry and Tommy Fryed’s older brother Mark died in a accident while riding his beloved Harley. The brother’s resolved then to keep Mark’s memory alive through a devotion to the motorcycle culture and the music he loved... and thus was formed The Fryed Brothers Band. The song ‘I Ride’ -- a key song in their repertoire and in the documentary -- is a tribute to their fallen brother.
I RIDE, the film, is a tribute to their perserverance, dedication and love of all things biker.

'Famine' (1997) was commissioned by Norma Smurfit and presented to the City of Dublin in 1997. The sculpture is a commemorative work dedicated to those Irish people forced to emigrate during the 19th century Irish Famine. The bronze sculptures were designed and crafted by Dublin sculptor Rowan Gillespie and are located on Custom House Quay in Dublin's Docklands. This location is a particularly appropriate and historic as one of the first voyages of the Famine period was on the 'Perserverance' which sailed from Custom House Quay on St. Patrick's Day 1846. Captain William Scott, a native of the Shetland Isles, was a veteran of the Atlantic crossing, gave up his office job in New Brunswick to take the 'Perserverance' out of Dublin. He was 74 years old. The Steerage fare on the ship was £3 and 210 passengers made the historical journey. They landed in New York on the 18th May 1846. All passengers and crew survived the journey. In June 2007, a second series of famine sculptures by Rowan Gillespie, was unveiled by President Mary McAleese on the quayside in Toronto's Ireland Park to remember the arrival of these refugees in Canada.

the morning glory vines and the blackberries are all tangled together in the back bushes... along with some clematis, a beleaguered shrub, a probable raccoon home, and god knows what else. When picking a bunch for breakfast this summer, I found this guy - the morning glory had wrapped around it when it was small and green, and it grew plump and fat around the vine's curve until it was part of the circumfrence of the berry! This is the best I could represent it.

6th World University Floorball Championship
Singapore - 18-22 June, 2014
Sweden Reigns Supreme at 6th WUC Floorball
as Both Men and Women Take Home Gold
The inaugural hosting of the 6th World University Floorball Championships in Singapore came to an end on 22 June after a successful five days which drew in a record-breaking 15,297 spectators as well as the participation of 16 teams from ten countries.
Sweden swept past all opponents to claim gold in both male and female categories of the tournament, with the men doing so in dominant form.
The Sweden men’s team won all six of its games at the competition, including a 6-2 victory over Switzerland in the finals. While the score line suggested it was an easy game for the Swedes, in reality it was not so as the Swiss made their counterparts work for the ball and hustle hard to break through the defence.
In the women’s final, Sweden gave up its lead to draw 7-7 with Finland in the third period to set up for a nervy ending as both sides sought for the winner in the extra period. With neither being able to do so, it went down to the wire as both teams took part in the dreaded penalty-shootout. Sweden managed to outscore their opponents as Finland failed to convert any of their penalties and subsequently yielded the gold medal to the Swedes.
The day also saw the host women’s team battle Switzerland for third place but unfortunately they had to settle for fourth after a 7-0 loss. The ladies did well initially to hold their own against their bigger European counterparts but eventually yielded to several well-taken goals by the Swiss.
The male’s race for third saw a closer match, as Czech Republic gave Finland a scare by taking a 3-2 lead after the first period. However Finland reacted strongly to score four goals in the next period while the Czechs could only muster two of their own as they then trailed by a goal. The final quarter was in the same vein as both team refused to back off and scored a goal each but Finland held on tight to earn the bronze medal.
“The hosting of this FISU Championship holds great significance to the Singapore University Sports Council”, Sheryl Low, President Singapore University Sports Council commented. “This, is our first partnership with FISU and we are promoting university sports and sporting values such as encouraging friendship, fraternity, fair-play, perserverance, integrity, cooperation and application amongst students. This international event provides a rare opportunity for the students to compete and learn from the best university floorball teams around the world.”
The next edition of this FISU WUC will be hosted in Porto, Portugal in 2016.

The Northern all-stars outscored the Central all-stars 10-9 yesterday at Tamuning Baseball Field to win a dramatic four-hour, eleven-inning, nail-biter in the Majors Division Guam Little League local tournament consolation game.
Northern, last year's tournament champion, had to come back from three deficits, including a 4-8 hole in the bottom of the 10th inning. Finally they won the game on an RBI single by Brandon Nauta that brought home Jesse Miner to win the game in the eleventh.
The first inning was a rough one for Northern as they fell behind 0-4 after Central's Trebor Aguerro hit a two-RBI double and Northern committed four errors.
The next four innings of play were a battle between pitchers Shawn Dumanal of Northern and Billy Quenga of Central. Together they combined for 14 strikeouts while only giving up one run. Dumanal struck out eight batters while Quenga mowed down six. The lone run between the second and fifth innings was a score by Northern's Reed Meyer in the second on an error that made the score 4-1.
The bottom of the sixth inning was where the action really began. With Central three outs away from the win, Northern staged an unbelievable rally to tie the game. The rally started with Daniel Cruz and Dumanal reaching base on errors. Then, with one swing of the bat, Jesse Miner tied the game at 4-all with his three-run homer that sent the crowd into a frenzy.
No runs scored from the seventh through ninth innings as both teams tightened up their defenses.
In the tenth, Central's bats came to life and they scored four runs to take an 8-4 lead. Jathan Conway brought in the go-ahead run when he singled in Duane Naputi and Billy Quenga added a two-RBI single.
Northern had other plans though, and in the bottom of the 10th they stormed back into the game with a hit from Miner and three Central errors to put the score at 8-all.
Central used every last bit of their energy to score a run in the top of the 11th on a costly throwing error by Northern to take back the lead at 9-8.
Northern then proved it was their day to shine, as Dumanal tied the game up for a third time with a solo home run to knot the score at 9. Then, Miner singled and Robit Cabe walked to set the stage for Nauta's game-winning hit.
Northern manager Steve Dumanal believes the key to them winning was the boys' positive attitudes.
"Perserverance. They never gave up and they played hard to the end," said Dumanal.
Northern coach Dan Cruz added, "I just told the boys to don't give up. They were down, but they never gave up."
Both Dumanal and Cruz thanked the parents and fans for support and said that assistant coach Jesse Miner was a big reason for their success.

The International Financial Services Centre (IFSC) is a major financial services centre in North Wall, Dublin, Ireland. The centre employs 14,000 people and was the brainchild businessman Dermot Desmond,[1] who's NCB financed a study by Price Waterhouse on the feasibilities of an 'IFSC'.[2] Mr Desmond then approached Charles Haughey, then in opposition, who made it the centrepiece of his economic manifesto when he came back into power.". The Finance Act, 1987 (Section 30) allowed for the designation of such an area.
The IFSC comprises the area between Memorial Road, Amiens Street, Lower Sheriff Street (including part of Crinan Strand), Guild Street, and the River Liffey along North Wall Quay and Custom House Quay. Adjacent districts include East Wall to the north and Spencer Dock to the east; the Custom House, Busáras and the city centre lie to the west.
Within the IFSC, the original development area lies west of Commons Street. East of Commons Street is the later IFSC II area, along North Wall Quay and Lower Mayor Street. It is an integrated development located in the centre of the city which incorporates office accommodation, educational institutions, housing, restaurants and shopping facilities. It has expanded beyond its original site and has become a part of the wider Irish economy.
The centre now houses financial institutions, together with a law firms and accountancy and taxation advisors who support them. The National College of Ireland is situated within the IFSC and provides a range of courses.
There are currently more than 500 financial operations allowed to trade within the IFSC. According to the official website it is home to more than half of the worlds top 50 financial institutions including Citibank, Commerzbank and Sumitomo.[3] Wikipedia.
