WEEKLY NEWS
  February 2, 2012

From Mike ... I really dread addressing this touchy subject but I feel I need to. Quite often folks aren't happy with the league or leagues they are playing in. As a result, they create a league of their own. Some of these new leagues are successful and some don't make it for whatever reasons. Please understand that I am not against new leagues being made but what bothers me is the drama that it can create. While Case's doesn't have strict rules (which I don't agree with) regarding recruiting, league members can be bombarded with instant messages or other means to join other leagues. My opinion is that, if I want to join another league, I will. We have a number of JHF'ers who play in other leagues and that's fine. We have other JHF TDs play in other leagues and that's fine too. And furthermore, we don't restrict our JHF Admin to play only in JHF. Our Admin and TDs consider JHF home and hold true to their obligations of hosting and playing on a regular basis. We don't want the drama of new leagues creating rifts within our own league. JHF is a strong league with dedicated staff and members. So let's keep our focus on JHF and continue on "just havin fun" tossing the cards!
Have a great week and good luck at the tables!



JHF's Member & TD of the Month ... Congrats to Roofie32 on being JHF's Member of the Month for January! During the month of January, Roofie won a total of 30 tourneys. A special tourney will be hosted in Roofie's honor on Friday, February 10 at 900pm. Way to go, Roofie, keep winning!

Two tourneys will be on the calendar for 900pm. One will be for the New York Giants and the other will be for the New England Patriots.

Thanks for being good sports, Roofie & Whoopie!
JHF's Roast will be hosted on Thursday, February 9 at 900pm. The winner of the tourney will get to rename Im_free_whoopie for the week. Each week the member roasted will pick who will be roasted the following week. If a player is roasted, he/she must make a new Yahoo ID with their new name and play using that new name until the next roast. Your league name will not change. We do ask that names not be totally offensive and that you remember you might be roasted next! Good luck and have fun!



JHF's Twosome Thursday ... JHF's Twosome Thursday is a 2x2 themed tourney which will be hosted on Thursday, February 9 at 1000pm. Each week's tourney will have a theme and those participating should make a team name related to the theme to compete in the tourney.

On The Lighter Side with JHF ...
Super Bowl Husband - A man goes to the Super Bowl but his tickets are for the upper tier. He spots an open seat on the 50-yard line and grabs it. The guy sitting next to him says, “Actually, this seat belongs to me. I was supposed to come with my wife but she passed away. This is the first Super Bowl we haven’t been to together since we got married in 1967.” “I’m sorry to hear that,” says the first man. “Couldn’t you find a friend or relative to come with you?” “Nope,” replies the second guy. “Everyone’s at the funeral.”



JHF Mailbox ... Now you can send us your ideas, suggestions and/or complaints using the league's main page. Just click on "Support" and "Contact Admin" and send us an email. All emails will be answered promptly by the Admin team. Let us know what you are thinking!



Something To Think About ...
Lessons from 9/11, the annoying little things -
- As you might know, the head of a major company survived the tragedy of “9/11” in New York because his son started kindergarten.
- Another fellow was alive because it was his turn to bring donuts.
- One woman was late because her alarm clock didn’t go off in time.
- One was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike because of an auto accident.
- One of them missed his bus.
- One spilled food on her clothes and had to take time to change.
- One’s car wouldn’t start.
- One went back to answer the telephone.
- One had a child that dawdled and didn’t get ready as soon as he should have.
- One couldn’t get a taxi.
- The one that struck me was the man who put on a new pair of shoes that morning, took the various means to get to work but before he got there, he developed a blister on his foot. He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid. That is why he is alive today.
Now when I am stuck in traffic ...
– miss an elevator ...
– turn back to answer a ringing telephone ...
– all the little things that annoy me ...
- I think to myself this is exactly where God wants me to be at this very moment.
The next time your morning seems to be going wrong,
- the children are slow getting dressed,
- you can’t seem to find the car keys,
- you hit every traffic light
- don’t get mad or frustrated
God is at work watching over you. - Kranti Gaurav

JHF's Public Service Announcement ...
ANNOUNCEMENT! JUST RELEASED!! ANNOUNCEMENT!
The Education Commission of the States has just released new information!
In order to assure the highest levels of quality work and productivity from all students, it will be our policy to keep all students well taught through our program of Special High Intensity Teaching (S.H.I.T.).
We are trying to give our students more S.H.I.T. than any other schools in the world.
If you feel that you do not receive your share of S.H.I.T. in your school, you will be immediately placed at the top of the S.H.I.T. list and our educators are especially skilled at seeing you get all the S.H.I.T. you can handle.
Students who don't know S.H.I.T. will be placed in Departmental Educational Evaluations Programs (D.E.E.P. S.H.I.T.).
Those who fail to take D.E.E.P. S.H.I.T. seriously will have to go to Educational Attitude Training (E.A.T. S.H.I.T.).
Since our educators took S.H.I.T. before they graduated, they don't have to do S.H.I.T. anymore, as they are all full of S.H.I.T. already.
If you are full of S.H.I.T., you may be intersted in a job teaching others.
We can add your name to our Basic Understanding Lecture List (B.U.L.L. S.H.I.T.).
For students who are attending to pursue a carrier in management and consultancy, we will refer you to the department of Managerial Operational Research Education (M.O.R.E. S.H.I.T.).
This course emphasizes on how to manage M.O.R.E. S.H.I.T.
If you have further questions, please direct them to our Head Of Teaching Special High Intensity Training (H.O.T. S.H.I.T.)
