- Inverness 1-5 Motherwell, SPL
Butcher fumes as Motherwell savage InvernessNovember 18, 2012
Motherwell jumped into fourth in the Scottish Premier League with a comprehensive 5-1 away victory at Inverness on Sunday.
The hosts had not lost in 10 games in all competitions since they last faced the Steelmen in September, when Motherwell romped to a 4-1 victory, but that run came to a comprehensive end today following another impressive showing from Stuart McCall's men.
Michael Higdon opened the scoring for the visitors in the 17th minute, with Jamie Murphy doubling the lead four minutes later.
Inverness captain Richie Foran netted three minutes after the restart to reduce the deficit but Adam Cummins' first senior goal restored Well's two-goal cushion.
Henrik Ojamaa added a fourth in the 72nd minute and substitute Omar Daley completed the rout with a minute to go, condemning Inverness to their heaviest home defeat of the campaign so far.
A lacklustre Caley Thistle slipped to seventh in the table following the defeat, despite reclaiming the mantle as the league's top scorers.
Shaun Hutchinson replaced Simon Ramsden in the visitors' only change to the side which drew 1-1 at home to Dundee last time out.
Caley Thistle also made just the one alteration to the side which drew 1-1 at home to Hearts last Saturday with Gavin Morrison in for Philip Roberts.
Inverness started well with Aaron Doran finding Morrison whose shot from outside the area was saved by Darren Randolph.
Billy McKay fired wide for Inverness from the edge of the box as the hosts continued to push forward.
Motherwell absorbed the pressure and scored on their first meaningful attack as Higdon headed Nicky Law's cross past keeper Antonio Reguero from six yards.
Motherwell doubled their lead four minutes later when Murphy volleyed home. He blasted past Reguero following a weak defensive header from Josh Meekings who tried to clear Chris Humphrey's cross.
Moments later it might have been 3-0 but Murphy hit the crossbar. Reguero then produced an excellent save to thwart Humphrey after Ojamaa failed to connect with a dangerous low cross from Steven Hammell.
The Spanish shot-stopper was swiftly called into action again when he pushed away another Murphy effort.
Owain Tudur Jones tried to turn the tide with a low 30-yard free-kick but Randolph was equal to it and Motherwell remained in the ascendancy. Murphy forced another save from Reguero and Law shot inches over just before the interval.
Caley Thistle produced a response immediately after the restart when Foran reduced arrears.
The Irishman was found in the box by David Raven in the 48th minute and he neatly slotted his shot past Randolph from six yards.
But Motherwell restored their lead four minutes later when Cummins volleyed home a Tom Hateley cross from close range.
They added a fourth when Law played a one-two with Murphy before finding Ojamaa whose low angled shot from 10 yards beat Reguero. It was the Estonian's first goal in 20 games.
Inverness did not give in and might have pulled one back when Doran hit the crossbar before Andrew Shinnie had a shot deflected over.
Motherwell continued to hunt more goals with Higdon denied by Reguero, and a fifth (and final) arrived with one minute remaining when Reguero fumbled a low 20-yard shot from Daley into the net.

Love and Theft Go Squirrel Hunting in New 'Love and Theft TV' Episode
Do Stephen Barker Liles and Eric Grunderson really hunt squirrel in their spare time? Have they really killed 40 or 50 in a single day? Does Gunderson really use a Medieval sword to clear brush? The duo begin to answer some of these pressing questions in a new episode of 'Love and Theft TV,' premiering exclusively on Taste of Country.
In the 90-second episode, the singers — who will release a self-titled new album on July 24 — speed through an open field in a late-model, two-toned SUV. Anyone who's met or talked to Liles and Grunderson would agree that they're rednecking it up for the sake of theatre, although they're pretty convincing as they talk about searching for the biggest squirrel east of the Mississippi.
Local lore has it that a 150-pound squirrel with white patches on his hide lives in the woods that the two men are bravely entering. Viewer confidence isn't high as they put away their flask and magnifying glass and turn into the brush. However, the duo surprise us…
Love and Theft's debut album is available for pre-sale purchase now by clicking here.

ST. LOUIS—Consumers are concerned about the nutritional content of food, but they're not willing to pay for healthier fare, according to new consumer research.
Findings from the 12th Annual Consumer Attitudes about Nutrition Study suggest that, while nine out of 10 consumers remain concerned about the nutritional content of food, only 64 percent are willing to pay for healthier versions of food. That figure dropped a significant eight points over the last two years (from 72 to 64 percent) after a consistently flat period averaging 72 percent over the previous five years. The study, sponsored by the United Soybean Board, reports that although they are less willing to pay more for healthier foods, 74 percent of consumers still report changing their eating habits due to nutritional or health concerns.
Also, 87 percent of consumers consider the nutrition facts label as important when deciding which foods to buy, yet 52 percent of respondents report that the nutrition label is too confusing. In a shift from last year, however, fewer consumers reported confusion with this figure dropping four points from 56 to 52 percent.
More than one-half of consumers are still confused about the role fat plays in the diet. Eighty-eight percent of consumers correctly reported saturated fats as unhealthy, but many remain unaware that monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are necessary for healthy bodily function. An increase in consumers surveyed (52 percent) correctly reported omega-3 fatty acids as a healthy part of their diet, up four points from last year. In comparing trans fatty acids to saturated fats, significantly fewer consumers incorrectly believe trans fatty acids are healthier than saturated fats (down 40 to 33 percent), while 28 percent perceive that saturated fats are healthier.
Regarding soy, 60 percent of consumers agree that consuming soy- based foods can play a role in reducing obesity while more than three-quarters of all surveyed thought soy products are healthy. And, of those who perceive soy as healthy, 26 percent seek out products that specifically contain soy. One in five consumers would order soy products in restaurants if they were available, with veggie burgers the most popular item (33 percent), followed by tofu (26 percent) and soymilk (22 percent). More than one quarter of Americans (27 percent) consume soyfoods or beverages once a week or more. Consumers who use soy products once a month or more (16 percent) do so mainly at dinner (40 percent) followed by breakfast (27 percent) and lunch (23 percent). Breakfast consumption increased the most since 2004, up three points from 24 to 27.
The survey was conducted by an independent research firm and includes 1,000 random telephone interviews. The margin of error is +/- 1.9 to 3.1 percent and has a confidence level of 95 percent.

As a rear admiral and chief of the Bureau of Navigation from 1939 to 1941, Nimitz found that the war plans called for closing the Naval War College during wartime, as had been the Navy's policy during the Spanish-American War and World War I. In March 1941, Nimitz formally changed that policy in order to allow the college to carry out an educational role during wartime and be prepared for its expanded role in the postwar period. 7
The Graybook and Education
Admiral Nimitz's personal connections to the Naval War College as an alumnus and supporter are key to the story of the Graybook. As a commander-in-chief, Nimitz certainly reflected his Naval War College education that he, most of his flag officer colleagues, and their staffs shared during World War II. When the United States entered the war in 1941, every flag officer in the U.S. Navy but one was a graduate of the Naval War College. 8 At the same time, the Graybook clearly reflects what the Naval War College had been doing in the interwar years to prepare officers for staff duties and to educate them to think critically when making operational decisions in positions of high command.
From 1910 through 1942, the Naval War College had been developing and refining a specific system for the naval operational-planning process. This approach culminated with the college's publication of what its students had called "The Green Hornet," or as it was formally titled in its ultimate form, Sound Military Decision , published in 1942. 9 This volume captured the essence of a Naval War College education in the interwar period, particularly in the refinements to it made under the guidance of Admiral Edward C. Kalbfus between 1934 and 1942. 10 The book was unquestionably the crowning expression of the college's philosophy. It was the only approach to naval planning that American naval officers were trained in using, and its influence is found throughout American naval operations during World War II. The Nimitz Graybook is a very rare surviving example in the records of the U.S. Navy that documents the daily sustained use, over an entire war, of the War College's "Fourth Step," the highest level in the military planning process.
Sound Military Decision clearly explained what this was all about:
The fourth step, which calls for mental efforts in the solution of the problem of supervising the action, requires a constant, close observation of the unfolding of the original situation. The procedure employed is customarily termed The Running Estimate of the Situation . Only an alert commander can invariably determine whether the situation is unfolding along the lines desired by him, as promulgated in the directives of the third step. In effect, the commander, after action is begun, considers the changing situation as a variable in the problem presented for his solution by the original (basic) situation. With the march of events, he is therefore, constantly critical to detect whether variations have introduced new incentives which demand modification or alteration of his plan, or its complete abandonment. 11
In a chapter-long discussion of this fourth supervisory step in the operational-planning process, Sound Military Decision stated that a running estimate is "intended to keep pace with the flow of events, so that the commander may be assured, at any time, that his concurrent action will be based on sound decision. To this end, there is a definite technique," the aim of which is "the rapid and successful exercise of mental effort in the fast moving events of the tactical engagement. It is under such conditions, more especially, that effective supervision of the planned action becomes a problem, calling for every facility that can be afforded the commander." 12
The technique here was to assemble in writing all the information bearing on the operational situation and to organize it in a readily usable fashion. Among alternative approaches, Sound Military Decision recommended the use of a journal of events backed up by a file supporting it that would serve as aids to the commander's continuing mental, decision-making process. This was normally accompanied by a work sheet to assist the staff in organizing the journal, but the work sheets were normally to be destroyed, as the journal formed the permanent record.
The Graybook in the Pacific
Prior to World War II, naval staffs had a degree of uniformity in organization and composition, based on Navy Regulations , personnel allowances, the particular requirements of a command and its commander, and evolving naval practice. During the war, the problem of how to best organize a staff was at one time an assigned topic for a Naval War College student thesis, and the subject of many articles in the U.S. Naval Institute Proceedings . Each major naval staff had its differences from the others and there was initially little standardization. The war created many changes to the U.S Navy's approach to staff organization with a gradual standardization becoming apparent and the separation of administrative staffs from operational staffs, with large operational staffs moving ashore. At the same time, the experience of World War II gradually influenced the Navy into adopting some of the features of the Army's General Staff system as part of the standardization process. 13
Located at Pearl Harbor, the staff of the commander-in-chief, Pacific and Pacific Ocean Area (CINCPAC-CINCPOA) under Nimitz went through a number of changes. In September 1943, for example, there were three separate, interrelated staffs—Fleet, Army, and Joint—each with five sections. In May 1944, the Fleet and Army staffs disappeared, and all were combined into one Joint staff. 14
The Graybook covers the period from 7 December 1941 to 31 August 1945. The first three weeks it covers predate Nimitz's arrival and serve to document the running estimate of the situation under his predecessors, Admiral Husband Kimmel from 7 to 17 December and Vice Admiral William S. Pye, the acting commander-in-chief, from 17 December to 31 December, when Nimitz took command. The volume ends in late August 1945 with the surrender of Japanese forces.
The document, which remained classified until 1972, appears to have been maintained by the Naval Staff's plans division (designated as N-1, later J-1). Even when the CINCPAC-CINCPOA staff became a Joint Staff, the J-1 section was headed by a naval officer. 15 The Graybook shows some evolution due to changing staff members, but the basic organization is followed throughout the document. For every day of the war, there is a running summary of events (that was originally classified top secret). This is followed by various supporting documents; among them are occasional "briefed estimates of the situation" that provide alternative courses of action, with advantages and disadvantages as well as operational plans.
Some of the pages are color-coded. At first, the pages are on white paper, interspersed occasionally with sheets of green that include directives and operational messages (that were originally classified as secret) affecting the situation. From May 1942, one begins to find pink pages that provide further information at very high classifications, to and from Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Ernest King, and some involving Allied forces. From January 1945, one begins to find yellow pages marked "Nimitz Only."
Digitization of a Vital Resource
A number of historians have used the Graybook in their research. E. B. Potter lists it among his sources in his 1976 biography of Nimitz. John Lundstrom used it extensively for his study of Vice-Admiral Frank Jack Fletcher, and Craig Symonds used it for his work on Midway. 16
Douglas V. Smith, former head of the strategy and policy section of the Naval War College's College of Distance Education, became aware of the Graybook during his graduate work at Florida State University and in teaching a Naval War College elective course on World War II. Recognizing the value of this document for research and teaching, Smith discussed the prospect of finding funding for the digitization of the Graybook with Rear Admiral Roger Nolan, then the executive director of the Naval War College Foundation. The foundation took up the suggestion to look for possible funding. In 2008, Smith—who was then the commander of the Newport Commandery of the Naval Order of the United States (NOUS) and has since become the order's historian-general—interested NOUS in the project as part of its mission to promote naval heritage. NOUS donated $5,000 to the Naval War College Foundation, while 46 members of the foundation donated additional funds to make a total of $10,535.
In 2009 the foundation worked with the Naval Historical Foundation in Washington, D.C., to scan the Graybook. The first estimates indicated that it would be too expensive to digitize the original copies, as the books would have to be disbound at great cost. Soon, a more cost-effective method was found in scanning the loose carbon copies of the document rather than the original bound copies. This was completed in 2009 at reasonable cost, but usage showed there were serious drawbacks with the scan. First, the copies did not reproduce the different color-coded papers in the original manuscript, and, second, many copies were too blurry to use with searchable text. A high-resolution digital facsimile was needed to capture all the markings on each page, the different colors of paper, and handwritten marginalia. A new copy was needed to support browsing and full-text and key-word searching to maximize the document's research value. Making the Graybook searchable was especially challenging because many of the pages contain tabular and other heavily formatted text.
Fortunately, the Naval War College Foundation, now headed by retired Navy Captain John Odegaard, had some $10,000 still available after its first effort. At that point, the Naval War College Library, headed by Allen Benson, hired a Providence, Rhode Island, firm, the Digital Ark Corporation, to create a high-resolution archival master file consistently and accurately rendering all of the manuscript's fine detail with no distortions. Under the direction of the library's Naval Historical Collection archivist, Evelyn Cherpak, and the Digital Initiatives librarian, Sue Cornacchia, the Naval History and Heritage Command shipped the eight volumes of the original copies to the Digital Ark, where the documents were carefully disbound and scanned by hand, one page at a time, in an environmentally controlled room.
The results of this effort transformed the nearly inaccessible and fragile Graybook into a digitally preserved naval/cultural document now available to researchers worldwide. And now, this invaluable resource of naval history can be accessed online through the Naval War College's website, at http://usnwc.edu/archives .

text: Scary Movie 5: As much as the Weinsteins have triumphed recently by betting on past successes like Quentin Tarantino and David O. Russell, they've had a hell of a time when attempting to revive long-dormant signature franchises. Scream and Spy Kids had trilogies that averaged around $100 million per entry, and they grossed almost exactly the same lousy $38 million when TWC revived them for sequels—even with the original directors on board. This suggests that Scary Movie 5, arriving seven years after Scary Movie 4 in a series that has never had more than a three-year gap, may be poised for similar disappointment. Then again, the Scary Movie series has pretty much always defied box-office gravity. Even Scary Movie 4, a downright terrible installment (right in line with what I've seen from Scary Movie 2, and a major comedown from the mildest of bright spots that was Scary Movie 3) made 90 million! Dollars! Former masters of the spoof genre David Zucker (of the once-mighty Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker) and go-to gagman Pat Proft (he of both Police Academy and the Naked Gun series) have the cowriting credits, while Malcom D. Lee (the sweet Roll Bounce; the slapdash Undercover Brother) takes over directing, maybe in a bid to curb some creepy neocon influence from Zucker, who last directed the why-do-you-hate-America-and-let-the-terrorists-win screed-comedy An American Carol.

As someone who has struggled with mental illness for over 20 years, I could closely relate to Kevin Rector's article about students having difficulty finding and getting mental health services at their colleges and universities ("Students struggle for mental health services," March 8). I applaud this article, as it brings to light the real need for mental health services for college students.
I was in the same boat, but I struggled alone. I relate to what many of the students in the article mentioned — a lack of information on mental health, the limited education of the professionals involved, trouble getting an appointment. In the years since I was in college, and through trial and error, I have found local places that are trained in mental health issues and that can help.
For students that need help, they can call National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Metropolitan Baltimore (410-435-2600) and speak to a staff member. This person will listen, empathize and provide some options for assistance. Also, Sheppard Pratt Health System has walk-ins; if things are getting that bad one can come to Sheppard Pratt or walk into a local hospital emergency room. Also, one might get involved in a local chapter of Active Minds. By taking a pro-active approach to the mentioned options, you are standing up for yourself and helping to eradicate the stigma so often associated with mental illness.
Mental illness doesn't take a break until you get an appointment. It's a daily, hourly struggle. The above are suitable options for students to take advantage of when struggling with mental illness.

That's just what Bellarms and his brothers do every day, buying enough loaves of bread in the South African town of Musina to fill the back of his pickup truck and take it back across the border to his native Zimbabwe to sell for 200 million Zimbabwe dollars (roughly $1 US) a loaf.
"Eish, it's bad there," says Bellarms, who declines to give his full name because of possible reprisal from Zimbabwe police. "We come every day except Saturday, buying boxes of soap, cooking oil, the same commodities that you just can't find in Zimbabwe anymore. We just wait for God now. He knows that we face trouble here."
In a country where many farmers have stopped farming, where a chicken can cost a quarter of a teacher's monthly salary and bread half that – if you can even find it – hunger is a looming crisis that is sending increasing numbers of Zimbabweans out of the country for their mere survival.
The rising number of Zimbabweans in South Africa – estimated to be nearly 3 million – has created growing anxiety among the working-class South Africans who compete with them for jobs. This anxiety has recently turned to anger, as a wave of antiforeigner attacks in Johannesburg townships such as Alexandra and Diepsloot, and even downtown Johannesburg itself have killed 22 in the past few days, and left 217 others injured and nearly 6,000 homeless.
"If you listen to the reasons given by the people who have participated in the violence, you hear about how foreigners have taken their jobs, foreigners have taken their houses, foreigners are committing crimes, so you see there are socioeconomic concerns in the communities where the violence is taking place," says Prince Mashele, head of the crime and justice program at the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) in Tshwane, as Pretoria is now called.
The longer Zimbabwe's political crisis continues, the greater the economic hardship on the Zimbabwe people, and the more those people come to South Africa and other countries for relief. Those who work for a salary find their salaries worthless by the time they get paid. That's why those Zimbabweans who have cars and can afford to do so have gone into commodities – buying everyday basics like flour, sugar, cooking oil on up to bags of cement – and selling it for a profit.
As in any crisis, there are winners and losers, and the nearly endless stream of Zimbabweans coming to the tiny border town of Musina has meant good business to local shopkeepers.
"Unfortunately, this helps business but it doesn't help people," says Manny Dos Santos, owner of the Messina Groentemark, a supermarket, who has had to double his shipment of food stocks in order to keep pace with demand.
"People buy everything," he says, walking by a tall bread rack that has already been emptied by 10 a.m. on a recent Sunday morning. "They buy bread, vegetables, oils, sugar, coffee, mealie [corn] meal. They buy 100 kilogram bags of potatoes, onions." He sighs. "This is just an unreal situation."
Donald Ndou, manager of the Superspar supermarket in Musina, says that 70 percent of his customers come from Zimbabwe. "We used to know how to budget and prepare for the demand, but now it's crazy. They'll just come in with an order and buy everything off the racks."
"You can't buy anything in Zimbabwe now," says William, who, as a long-haul truck driver from Harare, has been able to earn his salary in foreign currency and to feed his family by buying monthly groceries in neighboring countries such as South Africa. "Nobody has money in Zimbabwe, and nobody outside of Zimbabwe is doing enough to help us out."
For their part, many South Africans view their Zimbabwean neighbors as a menace. Some complain that the flood of Zimbabweans has taken away jobs, while others blame the higher price of food on Zimbabwean buying sprees.
"Today a loaf of bread costs 8-1/2 rand ($1.13); before it was five rand (66 cents)," says Razwimisane, a South African from Musina. "It's because of this crisis."
As the violence against foreigners continues to spread in Johannesburg, Mr. Mashele of the ISS says that the government needs to reach out to community leaders and go beyond the usual high-profile calls for calm.
"There's no way the South African police can outnumber the South African public, so you need to not only be reactive, but also need proactive work of talking with community leaders about their concerns," says Mashele. But the problem is, very few top leaders live in the communities where the violence takes place, so they have little credibility. "Communities increasingly are not paying attention to political leaders."

User talk:Ixthis888
If you want to "talk" you can email me via this link Special:Emailuser/Ixthis888.
Vasiliki, thank you for your kind note. I tend to be history buff - so I like to look behind the fluff of tradition (small t) get a picture of what "really" happened. Bill/Basil/Vasily. Wsk 20:31, January 20, 2009 (UTC)
Minor edits
I've noticed you've recently made a huge number of edits all marked as "minor." Please remember that "minor" edits are things like fixing spelling, minor formatting issues, fixing links, etc. Adding content is almost never minor. This may seem pedantic, but it's actually pretty important, since many folks filter what they see in edit histories so that they don't see minor edits.
For more info, check this out: w:Help:Minor edit. —Fr. Andrew talk contribs (THINK!) 21:05, May 12, 2009 (UTC)
Hi, I kinda thought that but the fact that I modify every 30 seconds I thought on the other hand people would be annoyed with me if the same article came up a zillion times in the Recent Changes list ..its not a problem ..I can do it the (pedantic) way :-) Vasiliki 21:47, May 12, 2009 (UTC)
- Well, perhaps you might also want to consider proofreading and incorporating all your intended edits before you hit "save." :) —Fr. Andrew talk contribs (THINK!) 13:11, May 13, 2009 (UTC)
- With all respect (and I know you are cheeky enough to get it), when people give up their personal time to contribute and help it would be nice if their was a *tiny* amount of gratitude and courtesy for their assistance rather than this continual "nit-pick" at things that really are not that important! "proof reading" is valid in context of article (agree and I should do it more often! :P) however in context of a "timeline" its too hard ... I am amazed Angellight888 does so well but he is used to that whole --- pages of text in front of his face and probably can handle it much better than me. I also have to contend with "timing out" after a certain amount of time ... and losing anything in my edit altogether ... so, fair go Father - yesterday there was no such thing as Timeline of History for Britain and today there is) so I will be more obedient to the best of my abilities!! <-- aussie slang. Vasiliki 23:13, May 13, 2009 (UTC)
- THANK YOU. There's some gratitude for you.

Marie Jose Poux is a hospice nurse in New Orleans, but she was born in Haiti. Ms. Poux was in Port-au-Prince on Jan. 12 when the earthquake struck, and she spent the next two weeks lending what help she could to the ravaged city.
"My soul is not here [in New Orleans]. It remains doing what I was doing in Haiti," says Poux, who runs a charity, Hope for Haitian Children, from her home in New Orleans' Treme neighborhood. "I saw south Florida after it was hit by hurricane Andrew, and New Orleans after Katrina, and New York after 9/11. And this is like all three of those times 100."
Haiti's cataclysmic earthquake has struck home in New Orleans, which itself is still recovering from the 2005 hurricane and flood. For a time, the city's survival was in doubt, but with much aid, it's come a long way. Now, many New Orleanians want to put their knowledge and experience to use in Haiti, helping others in dire need.
"We've learned some powerful lessons here about recovering from disaster, and we want the Haitian people to benefit from our experience," says Jacques Morial, a lawyer and community activist who has worked with residents in New Orleans' devastated Lower Ninth Ward. "We learned that after a disaster like this, people need the basics of food, shelter, and medical attention. But we also learned after Katrina that when the rebuilding begins, the stakeholders in a community need to be included in decisionmaking and self-governing."
Mr. Morial, son of former New Orleans mayor Ernest Morial and brother of National Urban League president and former mayor Marc Morial, joined 40 other local leaders from nonprofits and recovery organizations for a meeting one week after the earthquake. They strategized on how their expertise and resources could help Haiti on a range of issues, from emergency medical treatment to long-term housing.
The coalition's first effort is the Haiti Emergency Village Project. On Jan. 30, an eight-person team flew from New Orleans to Haiti to assist local hospitals and set up a base camp as part of a still-developing plan to build housing for earthquake survivors.
Backers of the project include the Make It Right foundation, the nonprofit founded by actor Brad Pitt, which is redeveloping parts of the Lower Ninth Ward.
Those working on the Haiti Emergency Village Project hope it can serve as a model for quickly building sustainable housing in the wake of disaster.
"We know what is involved in recovering from a disaster like this and hope to be a part of what we expect will be a large and ongoing response from New Orleans," says Flozell Daniels Jr., CEO of the Louisiana Disaster Recovery Foundation. "There's an undeniable relationship between New Orleans and Haiti, and it makes sense for us to get involved."
Indeed, New Orleans shares more than a history of disaster with the troubled island nation. At one point in the early 1800s, half of the city's population was made up of French colonials and their African slaves, who fled to Louisiana from Haiti following a series of slave revolts that started in 1791. From architecture to voodoo, Haiti's French and African heritage has been felt in New Orleans ever since.
Immigrants from Haiti established the state's first newspaper, introduced opera to New Orleans, and played a part in creating carnival traditions and Creole cuisine.
When the Haiti Emergency Village Project left for the island, their luggage included more than 20 duffel bags packed with medical supplies requested by Charles Rene, a Haitian-born obstetrician-gynecologist who lives in New Orleans. Dr. Rene arrived in Haiti with a medical team a week after the disaster and is running a medical clinic near the city of Jacmel, which was hit hard by the earthquake.
Rene is no newcomer to this Haitian city: He's worked with the Hospital St. Joseph in Jacmel for more than 20 years.
Rene was joined in Jacmel by Yvens Laborde, also a native of Haiti, who is an internal-medicine physician at Ochsner Medical Center in the New Orleans area. In a blog for The Times-Picayune, he has made requests for medical supplies, more doctors, and further aid.
"Conditions remain deplorable and the need for basic supplies is tremendous," wrote Dr. Laborde, who has been treating 150 patients a day. "Practically all the beautiful things that I remember in Haiti are destroyed beyond recognition, as are the streets that I used to walk to school when I was a boy growing up."
Such stories strike a powerful chord in New Orleans. On Jan. 31, 24 local bands played a benefit for Doctors Without Borders. Restaurants have sponsored "nights out for Haiti," with 10 percent of sales donated to charity. Art galleries and museums are holding benefits and silent auctions for Haiti.
On a recent Saturday morning at the Community Book Center in the Fairgrounds neighborhood, 50 middle-school and college students boxed medical supplies, food, and clothing for Hope for Haitian Children.
"This is a great cause, and I'd do anything to help Marie Poux and her orphans," says bookstore owner Vera Warren-Williams, who is also a board member for the charity. "The roof of my store almost blew off during Katrina, and then it was flooded by three feet of water, and it took two years to reopen. So I know about dealing with disaster. We were blessed here by thousands of people who came to help afterwards, so now it's time for New Orleans to do its part for Haiti."
Many in the city, Morial says, feel an obligation to help the Haitian people. "People here have been watching the scenes from Haiti and have a lot of empathy," he says. "And it's our moral and spiritual obligation to help."

Post subject: Cheater's Ribs
My buddy and I decided to have ribs while watching the game last night, but we were on a limited time schedule. After scouring the 'net, I found several references for "Fast & Hot Ribs", but none from a source known to be dependable. I decided to put together a plan and test the concept, myself.
Let me make this absolutely clear,
. Please don't jump all over this process with preconceptions; hopefully, that comment will eliminate any reasonable confusion on that topic.
The goal was to create great tasting, proper textured ribs in 2 hours. Many recipes I saw called for boiling the ribs, but since that leaves a pot full of pork stock, taking all of that goodness out of the ribs didn't seem like a good idea to me. Braising them in a pressure cooker could work, but unless I got out Grandma's big canning cooker it would be difficult to keep the racks intact, and I would still create a pot of pork stock. The oven or grill was the best method, and since there was 9" of snow coming down and the TV was out of sight of the grill, I went with the oven.
The key is the method: 1 hour at 400° in a foil packet (no extra liquid added) followed by a finish with the packet open to tighten up the meat and add a glaze.
I used back ribs.
They are not my favorite (I prefer St. Louis trim spare ribs), but this is what I had on hand. Go ahead, shoot me.
I went with an Asian theme with these ribs; for the rub I started by combining 2T salt, 2T granulated garlic, 2T granulated onion, 1T white pepper, and 1t cayenne pepper. I ground this into 1T of ginger puree, then added 2T of soy sauce to make a paste (adding 2T of Black Pepper sauce for one rack). After de-membraning the racks, I rubbed them with the paste and put each into a foil packet. I made a glaze from 1/2 C no-salt chicken broth, 1/4C soy, 2T peach preserves, 2T hoisin, 3T Ah-So sauce, and 2T white wine, reduced to a light syrup. Ah-SO sauce just can't be beat for the tang it adds (don't complain about that, either!).
I put the packets on a 1/2 sheet pan and into a 400° oven (convection fan was on) for one hour. I then opened the packets, poured off the liquid (total of 3/4C from both), brushed on the glaze, and put them back in the oven (packets still wide open). For the next 50 minutes I turned them and glazed them at 10 minute intervals, letting them rest on a board before cutting for the last 10 minutes for a total of 2 hours cooking/resting time.
The result was perfectly cooked ribs, with firm (NOT squishy) meat that was juicy, needed a slight tug to get it off the bone (not so much that the meat gets stuck between your teeth), and a sticky, savory glaze. While this method is NOT a replacement for 7 hours on my smoker, it does give a very nice result, and in a very short time.
Yeah, they are a cheat, but a good one if you ask me. Give 'em a try, and let me know what you think.

aside from the temp, that's pretty much my standard for ribs.
season, foiled, in the oven at 300'F until tender
I cheat even more as my gang likes a couple of the off the shelf sauces, so at the end, open up, slather with sauce and finish glaze.
even when I do them on the grill, I do the oven thing first but the finish glazing crisping on the grill. I find the results more predictable - particularly in that the rack is cooked evenly vs can-be-spotty if done on a hot grill.

Cheat schmeat, pork ribs are ultimately pork! One of the things about being an American that's fun, if it's good we'll eat it.
Here's a pair of some ovened ribs.

- What I Love About My Small Home:
- We love how light and airy our little bungalow feels. With two adults and a toddler living in such a small space, we have made sure to keep things simple in our decorating. Everything has a purpose. Working from home also created a design challenge in that I had to have space where I could fit my desk into the living area as well. We've really made sure that our home is family friendly and that we all feel comfortable living life here.
- Three of My Best Tips and Tricks for Creating a Successful Small Space::
- 1. Storage. We've made sure to pick pieces of furniture that also double as storage. Kid's toys go on shelves and in bins, and by going up with shelves in our kitchen we've created more storage for things that would have taken up valuable cabinet space.
2. Light colored walls. Working from home with a toddler in a small space can make you feel a little claustrophobic at times, and keeping our walls in cool, calming tones has helped make our place feel light and airy.
3. Clean and Purge. Being a responsible homeowner means picking up after ourselves and taking pride in the place we live. I try and pick up my kid's toys every evening and make our home a relatively clean space before going to bed. It makes you feel so much better when waking up in the morning. And when something no longer has a use or purpose, don't hold on to it, toss it or donate it.

2038 Route 23 North
Directions West Milford, NJ 07480
Actual rating will vary with options, driving conditions, habits and vehicle condition.
For 2009, the Dodge Charger's available V8 gains more power and better fuel economy, while the optional all-wheel-drive system has been similarly upgraded to enhance fuel economy. The Charger SRT8 also sports improved fuel economy as well as a new Super Bee package with orange paint. All Chargers feature minor exterior and interior detail revisions.
When it debuted a few years ago, the latest Dodge Charger helped lead the, well, charge of rear-drive muscle cars as they made their way back from the grave. True, this four-door Charger sedan was a far cry from the huge two-door coupe adorned in orange paint and a Confederate flag in the "Dukes of Hazzard," but the spirit certainly lives on. For those who yearn for the good ol' days of good ol' boys and good ol' horsepower, the Charger's big-time power and brash styling represent a welcome revival.
Like its platform mates, the Chrysler 300 and the Dodge Challenger, the Charger comes with less muscular engines, but it's the big honking Hemi V8s that deserve the most attention. And for 2009, the "smaller" Hemi gets even better. Not only does it now make 368 horsepower, but variable valve timing and cylinder deactivation technology allow it to almost match the fuel economy of the 250-hp 3.5-liter V6. This certainly makes the 5.7-liter V8-powered Charger R/T the most attractive choice, but it also highlights how inefficient the two V6 engines are. Also new for 2009 is a revised all-wheel-drive system that can automatically or manually disconnect the front axle to slightly improve fuel economy and provide the better handling afforded by rear-wheel drive.
If you want a large sedan and V8 performance isn't a priority, we suggest looking beyond the Charger. Models like the Ford Taurus and Honda Accord are more practical choices. If, however, big boffo V8 power makes your heart jump, the 2009 Dodge Charger could be your car. Just be sure to check out Pontiac's G8 GT before you buy. In a recent comparison test of ours, the G8 outran last year's R/T in a straight line and handled dramatically better. No doubt a 2009 comparison would be closer given the Charger R/T's new power boost and the late-availability Performance Plus package that improves handling. Even so, we think the Pontiac remains numero uno in terms of being a true driver's car -- plus it costs less. So while the Charger once led the charge, it's no longer in the lead.
The 2009 Dodge Charger is a large sedan available in SE, SXT, R/T and SRT8 trim levels. Rear-wheel drive is standard, while the SXT and R/T are available with all-wheel drive. Standard equipment on the SE includes 17-inch alloy wheels, air-conditioning, full power accessories, a tilt and telescoping steering wheel, keyless entry, cruise control and a four-speaker stereo with a CD player and an auxiliary audio jack.
Stepping up to the SXT nets you a larger V6 engine, 18-inch wheels (AWD only), a 60/40 split-folding rear seat, foglamps, heated mirrors, power-adjustable pedals, a power driver seat and an upgraded six-speaker sound system with satellite radio. The SXT popular equipment groups adds 18-inch alloy wheels (RWD), automatic headlamps, a power passenger seat, heated front seats, leather upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and dual-zone automatic climate control. The Charger R/T includes all the SXT popular equipment group items as standard and adds the big 5.7-liter V8.
The SXT and the R/T share much of the same optional equipment. The protection group adds Bluetooth, self-sealing tires and side airbags. A sunroof, a touchscreen stereo interface with 30 GB of digital music storage, a rear-seat entertainment system with Sirius Backseat TV, and a navigation system with real-time traffic (the last two items require the popular equipment group on the SXT) are also available. The SXT DUB Edition adds 20-inch chrome-clad wheels, DUB exterior badges, embroidered leather seats and a 13-speaker Kicker sound system.
The R/T popular equipment package adds 18-inch chrome clad wheels, a compass, a trip computer, steering-wheel-mounted audio controls and a surround-sound audio system. Xenon headlights are a stand-alone option on the R/T. The road/track performance package includes 20-inch wheels, sport-tuned suspension and steering, heated performance sport seats and Alcantara upholstery. Bluetooth can be added to this package. The Daytona package is identical to the road/track package, but it adds a higher-performance exhaust, a unique exterior paint color and Daytona graphics. Chrysler says it will release another high-performance package later in the 2009 model year that will further enhance the Charger's steering, suspension and brakes.
The SRT8 is equipped a lot like the R/T with the road/track package, but adds the bigger Hemi V8, high-performance brakes, a hood scoop, a limited-slip rear differential and different exterior trim. The SRT8 Super Bee package adds 20-inch ultra-bright wheels, bright yellow or orange paint and Super Bee graphics.
The 2009 Dodge Charger is available with four engines, one for each trim level. Rear-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is optional on the SXT and R/T. The base SE gets a 2.7-liter V6 that produces 178 hp and 190 pound-feet of torque. A four-speed automatic is standard. Fuel economy with this engine is 18 mpg city/26 mpg highway and 21 mpg combined. The SXT is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 good for 250 hp and 250 lb-ft of torque. This engine gets a four-speed automatic with rear-wheel drive and a five-speed auto with all-wheel drive. Fuel economy ratings are 17/25/20 mpg with RWD and 17/23/19 mpg with AWD.
The Charger R/T is powered by a 5.7-liter V8 making 368 hp and 398 lb-ft of torque. A five-speed automatic is standard. Fuel economy rates 16/25/19 mpg with RWD and 16/23/18 with AWD. The Charger SRT8 is the king of the hill, with a 6.1-liter V8 that produces 425 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. It, too, gets a five-speed auto. In track testing, the SRT8 went from zero to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds. Its fuel economy ratings are 13/19/15 mpg.
Antilock disc brakes, traction control and stability control are standard on all Chargers except for the base SE, which has them as options. SXT, R/T and SRT8 models can be equipped with self-sealing tires, front-seat side airbags and side curtain airbags.
In government crash tests, the 2009 Dodge Charger achieved a perfect five stars for frontal crash protection and rear side crash protection. It got four stars for front side protection. In the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety frontal-offset crash tests, the Charger received a top score of "Good." The Charger received a rating of "Poor" in the IIHS side-impact test. Both the IIHS and government side crash tests were conducted without the optional side airbags.
Thanks to some much-needed improvements last year, the Charger's cabin features materials of pleasing quality and simple controls. The styling is on the bland side, however. The seats are very comfy, and those included with the road/track package and in the SRT8 provide lots of snug lateral support. The Charger's large size and long wheelbase translate into a generously sized cabin with plenty of rear legroom. Unfortunately, the Charger's sloping roof line makes rear-seat access more challenging than in other sedans, and rear headroom is a bit less than normal as well. The trunk can hold 16 cubic feet of luggage, an average figure for a large sedan.
With an abundance of torque and rear-drive power reaching the asphalt, the V8-powered 2009 Dodge Charger R/T delivers grins and giggles in equal measure for enthusiasts who appreciate neck-snapping thrust as well as the extra utility of a four-door-sedan body style. However, most of that fun is had in a straight line, as even in SRT8 and R/T forms, the Charger's light and uncommunicative steering doesn't provide much confidence. With the Charger, you'll never forget you're piloting a large 2-ton sedan.
In terms of engines, the 3.5-liter V6 is a decent choice for those on a tight budget, but keep in mind that it's not particularly powerful or fuel-efficient. Considering the R/T's horsepower upgrades this year, it's now the obvious pick of the regular Charger litter. The SRT8 is still the top dog, but its much higher price is hard to justify considering the relatively minor increase in performance over the R/T.

Fact or Fiction: Last spring, I sent in my registration materials for the NWFBP (NorthWest Food Bloggers Picnic) and was rejected! Their response letter gave one sole reason: I had never featured a photo of butternut squash soup.
Eventually, I decided to right this wrong, and mildly adapted a recipe from The Food Network via some Nova Scotian firefighters, so you know there was potential. There's only so many ways you can go with butternut soup, but with the assistance of my precious Vita-Mix, that half a jar of peanut butter sitting around, and locally based, Thai and True curry paste, it was totally to my liking.
Yellow Curry, Peanut Buttery, Butternut Squashy Soup
(adapted from The Food Network CA)
serves 4-ish
- 1 stalk of celery, chopped
- ½ yellow or sweet onion, roughly chopped
- 1.5-2 cups of slightly mashed, roasted butternut squash (from 1 small squash, or half a large one, or canned)
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (use more if you like more heat!)
- 1 teaspoon of yellow curry paste (I use Thai and True)
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, more to taste
- Dash of freshly ground black pepper, more to taste.
- 3 cups of vegetable broth
- 1 cup light coconut milk
- ½ cup peanut butter, chunky or creamy
- 1 teaspoon agave nectar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- In a large sauce pan or stockpot, sauté the chopped onion and celery in the peanut oil for 5-7 minutes on medium heart, until they begin to soften.
- Add the crushed red pepper and garlic, sauté an additional 2 minutes, stirring often. Lower the heat if needed.
- Add the curry paste, salt and pepper; stir well.
- Stir in the peanut butter, broth, roasted squash and light coconut milk.
- Turn the heat up, bring to a boil, turn the heat low and simmer covered for 30 minutes.
- Use an immersion blender to puree to your liking, or slowly, carefully transport to a blender and puree till smooth.
- Return to pot, stir in agave and lemon juice.
- Serve with additional salt and pepper, if desired. Enjoy.

I was exhilarated when Elizabeth Merritt from The Future Of Museums Center wrote and invited me to write a guest blog on museums and spontaneous outbursts of art-i.e. yarnbombing . The other writers were Barbara Stauffer – a curator at The National Museum of Natural History who curated The Hyperbolic Reef Show and Maria Morti who created The Sf Mobile Museum. I was so satisfied and touched to get included with them and excited to talk about yarnbombing a little more seriously. I mean more seriously than " How Cute".
It's interesting to think about the future of museums. I had mostly just wished they would show more painting and have better deserts. I read The Future Of Museums report on museums in 2034 and liked the idea of museums being a refuge.
I think street art and peoples art is part of the future of museums. Imagine if everyone made their own museum. What would be in them?
I make my yarnbombs like any artist- I just want to get to see what I want to see. I love that I can go so directly into any environment and quickly make it softer , more domestic and personal and funnier.
I tried to be serious when I wrote my blog entry for The Future Of Museums but I 'm afraid I was my regular jokey self. Read it here.</p

'Chimpanzee': Oh, The Humanity!
It's a classic scenario in sentimental fiction: An adorable orphan humanizes a crusty old codger. "Humanize" might not seem the obvious verb for what happens in Chimpanzee, Disneynature's latest kiddie documentary. But it's dead on; this escape to the planet of the apes is anthropomorphic to a fault.
The story, delivered excitedly by narrator Tim Allen, is about a "precious baby boy," given the only-in-Hollywood tag of Oscar by filmmakers Alastair Fothergill and Mark Linfield. They call the baby's mother Isha, and the local chimp patriarch Freddy. The leader of a nearby chimp "mob" that threatens Freddy's clan is outfitted with the name Scar (although not with Jeremy Irons' voice).
After Isha's off-screen death — only partially the fault of Scar and his gang — Oscar is abandoned. None of the other moms in the 35-chimp tribe is prepared to take responsibility for another hungry baby. But before he starves to death, Oscar is adopted by an older male chimp, which is apparently a rare occurrence.
In brief interviews at the movie's end, the filmmakers say that the story is basically authentic. But even if the narrative's outline is true, that doesn't mean the details are accurate. It's impossible to tell if Allen's commentary always reflects what the images show.
Sponsored By
For example, the movie was shot primarily in the Ivory Coast's remote Tai Forest. But the filmmakers, who are BBC nature-doc veterans, also worked in Uganda and Gabon. Did the secondary locations yield only the psychedelic time-lapse footage of rain, insects and mutating vegetation? Or are some of the on-screen chimps actually ringers from another jungle altogether?
Such questions make Chimpanzee a frustrating experience for adults. But the movie is designed for kids, who may not mind its oversimplifications, or narration that terms edible leaves "side salad" and makes reference to the chimps' family photos. And children familiar with Disney cartoons probably won't balk at the scenes edited to suggest that the chimps are jiving to Caro Emerald's neo-retro jazz ditty "That Man."
Yet the movie will be problematic for children as well, and not only because the hero's mother meets a violent end. The omnivorous chimps don't consume just the leaves, nuts and pulpy fruit with which the narration has such fun. There's a sequence, impressively constructed but chilling, in which Freddy's clan hunts, kills and eats a colobus monkey.
Sponsored By
Primate fans who were saddened by Project Nim should be pleased to see chimps at play in their natural habitat in Fothergill and Linfield's impressively intimate footage. For such viewers, much of Chimpanzee will be a treat. But perhaps the best strategy for enjoying the movie would be to a) leave sensitive tykes at home and b) bring a portable music player to provide an alternative soundtrack.

In the Futurity, Pataky Kid rallied to overtake pacesetting favorite Muppet Man inside the sixteenth pole and despite racing greenly after assuming command, drew away to a three-length victory. With Garrett Gomez in the irons, the Tom Proctor-trained son of Rockport Harbor covered the one-turn mile over Polytrack in 1:37.58.
The Oklahoma-bred picked up his second win in three trips to the post and the $87,300 winner's share took his earnings into six figures at $116,050.
Muppet Man, the 7-10 post time favorite, broke alertly from the rail and took the field of eight juveniles through fractions of 23.50 seconds, 46.85 seconds, 1:11.57 and 1:24.47 before giving way to the eventual winner. Neither trainer Jimmy DiVito nor jockey Jeffrey Sanchez made any excuses for the runner up.
"I thought he would finish stronger," Sanchez said of the son of Corinthian.
Stormin Monarcho was third, followed by Ultimo Trago, Mylute, Glenco Kid, the filly Scissortail G and Urban Renewal to complete the order of finish.
A clear second choice in the wagering, Pataky Kid paid $6.80, $3.20 and $2.60. Muppet Man returned $2.40 and $2.20. Stormin Monarcho paid $3.
In the Lassie, Gold Edge rallied in the center of the track to get by the front-stepping La Song to prevail by a neck under jockey Chris Emigh in 1:37.96 for the mile over Polytrack.
"I wasn't sure we were going to get there until the last couple of jumps," said Emigh who also rode the daughter of Eddington to her previous victory in the $65,000 Lisa M Stakes here last month. "She's been training so good (since her last race). I knew she might get beat (today) but they were really going to have to run to beat her. She's been training awesome and she tries her heart out."
La Song, a 36-1 outsider breaking from post 12, got to the rail right from the start and led through lively early fractions of 22.89 seconds, 45.65 seconds, 1:10.68 and 1:24.01.
Dancinginthecircle rallied up the fence to finish third, finishing just a nose behind La Song.
"I followed (Gold Edge) all the way but she went (to the outside) late so I followed (La Song) and got through on the inside," said Rosemary Homeister Jr., who rode Dancinginthecircle.
Gold Edge kept her record intact with three wins in as many starts and boosted her bankroll to $138,429 with the $82,800 winner's share from the Lassie.
Custody, Pappascat, Bridgette Bordeaux, American Sugar, Dancing Elliebelle, favored Flying Rapunzel, Quiet Success, Bethany Belle and Sweet Redemption was the remaining order at the finish.
At the top of the stretch, You Bought Her stumbled and lost her rider Julio Felix after clipping heels with American Sugar, who was disqualified from seventh and placed last in the 13-horse field. You Bought Her walked off the track under her own power while Julio Felix was taken to Northwest Community Hospital for X-rays.
Gold Edge paid $23.40, $11.60 and $7. La Song returned $25.40 and $12. Dancinginthecircle paid $9.

Info54328 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 177 designs submitted by 30 freelance designers.
Val & Rie
Val & Rie is a high end clothing line for mothers and daughters. The women's wear is matching the kid's wear. The target audience is the young fashion mother between 24 and 35 years old, and her daughter aged between 2 and 12 years old. The garments are sophisticated and have a lot of sequins, beads and gems embellishments.
Along with the company brand name logo I would like some sort of abbreviated two letters "VR" logo without using the "&" symbol (so no V&R) because this belongs to another well known clothing brand. So in essence an artistic way to present the V and R two letter logo for branding on purses, shirts, buttons, etc...
The first picture joined is a logo that I designed for Val & Rie Inc. that I like, but it is not quite there yet...
The second one is to show you how the "VR" is going to be use on purses (metal detail).
If you want to have an idea of what kind of logos I like please go see Viktor & Rolf logo and Miss Mak logo on Google.

Gajeel not having reached this certain point that makes him a true DS is kind of BS. I mean...Natsu has been weak to transportations since he was young...so is Mashima saying that Gajeel is now as strong as a young pre-start of the series Natsu? >_>
Well whatever, I can live with it...atleast no Cana this chapter, this pleased me.

The story, plot and even characters themselves are going horribly inconsistent with lots of nakama power cop outs and flat out ridiculous plot mechanics. Mashima's not just trolling, he's being plain untruthful to the readers.

This chapter had quite the Lulz feel to it. Alot of priceless O_O expressions. Too bad those Devil fruit eaters couldn't resist motion sickness. Or was it Dragon Slayers that can't swim. I forgot
Yay for FT comeback!!

Maybe Natsu's "lessons" with Igneel were just further ahead of what Metallica taught Gajeel, so his body wasn't fully "adapted" to the Dragon Slayer magic, and Gajeel's self training not only made him more powerful, but also made him more "dragon-like." We know Wendy still has two major Sky Magic spells to learn, but we really don't know much Gajeel's training.
I would note that Natsu is the only one of the Dragon Slayers to undergo "Dragon Force," so its possible he really is the most advanced of the Fairy Tail dragon slayers in their brand of magic.
Then again, it could all just be the "rule of funny."

Or maybe Wendy secretly cast her spell on Gajeel as well during the boat trip and made her promise not to tell anyone.
At any rate, Mashima has done a decent job up until now, so even if this is ultimately a negative, it's one of very few that I can let pass.

Kinda of funny, but ultimately very disappointing... the sudden "all dragon slayers suffer motion sickness" Seems like such a massive ass pull.
and really... Who knew what would happen in a competition called Chariot?
A chariot is a type of horse drawn carriage often used in races; as in a type of vehicle... Sure You don't know what the competition might entail, but because of that, your safest bet would be to take the name literally and work based off that assumption instead of just picking randomly. In this case, the name alone hints that it would be some kind of vehicle race. That suspicion alone should have been enough for them to not chance sending out someone with motion sickness... Sure you might be wrong to assume that, but better to be wrong assuming the obvious than ignoring the obvious to go with a random guess
Based on the name alone I probably would have sent out either Erza or Elfman for Fairy tail A and either Laxus or Mira from Fairy Tail B... they are the four I feel who would be the most versatile for some kind of race and aren't hampered down by motion sickness

So with Natsu going out, Sting likely went out because he wanted the chance to compete directly with Natsu. And with those two going out Gajeel went out for the same reason as Sting, and because he'd never had problems with motion sickness before. And by Laxus's comment, he didn't go out because he did have problems with motion sickness.

On the other hand, maybe Gajeel can finally eat magic now. I've noticed so far that Natsu has been the only one who could essentially eat other magic (Etherion, lightning), albeit with side effects and was wondering while Gajeel and Wendy couldn't.

Yes, Mashima did recton Gajeel a little bit. All in all, I don't think it's that serious of a retcon, I guess he thought of somthing either cool and/or funny in addition so he's fixing it before he gets deeper into the story.
Even when writing a story, not everything goes as planned on the brainstorming sheet. Let's see what he does with it (the motion sickness weakness) before we decide if the retcon is a good one or not. I still don't know why Laxus would get that way though...but it would explain him walking everywhere and using his lightning to teleport... And of course Cobra was riding on his flying snake (forgot her name) so that conveniently explains that one... I still don't like the idea of Wendy eventually getting motion sickness...
Still, knowing that even Sting gets that way...

After that Nakama power went through the roof in Tenrou and characters behave terribly especially Kana. And in the end we have that time skip which would have been ok if there were actual developments and proper establishments of what happened in the 7 years. Mashima expects us to believe that Fairy tail would endure 7 years of abuse from Twilight Ogre without retaliating even though Max was stronger than Natsu now and could probably even defeat Twilight Ogre by himself.
And in this 'Grand Magic Tournament', an event similar an Olympics of magic, has seemingly no ways to prevent cheating. Are we supposed to believe that Gray is so weak that he couldn't get a single point? In the whole stadium there are at least 3 Wizard Saint level mages and many S class mages and yet no one could sense or even see the piece of hair around Asuka except for Lucy who's the furthest Fairy Tail member from her. And then the same powerful mages couldn't sense who or what stole Lucy's magic and she didn't complain about it either.
There were so much terrible writing going on that even though this retcon of all so called 'real/ true/ matured' Dragonslayers are weak to vehicles is so bad, it still wasn't as cheesy as most things in the previous 50 chapters.

I don't see why people are so pissed at Gajeel starting to get motion sickness (at which he handwaved in the chapter) , it doesn't mean he was any weaker beforehand and Sting is not the most credible source of information either...

Well Natsu's vehicle sickness was a unique character quirk of him and now given to all the Drgaonslayers, it doesn't just cheapen his character, but all of them, especially Gajeel. Now he's telling us that Gajeel wasn't as much of a Dragonslayer as Natsu and even Laxus.

Probably just a way to get all three of them a chance to talk and for the masses to give some support to Fairy Tail and their 'pure spirit'. For all we know, towards the end of the arc something massive happens and the audience will all band together to support a losing Fairy Tail. Just saying.

Nakama power, well, I'll just say that the series has basically established that Nakama power translates to something real in this world. It's an interesting take. I mean, it's usually a staple in shonen series, so Fairy Tail is just making it a bit more literal.
Lastly, regarding Twilight Ogre, remember that we have issues of quality vs. quantity. Twilight Ogre was a bigger guild, and might have had stronger members (and probably did). By the time it got to the point where TO was revealed to be douchebags regarding the money, FT was likely fairly small and TO was much bigger. Even if Max could take down those five guys, there is more to consider. That is, TO as a whole was more powerful than FT as a whole. Also, they could put even more pressure by threatening Romeo, ie, "don't cross us or something might happen to your son, Macao."
Once Makarov and the S-class mages returned, though, the power tipped back in favor of FT. Also, the council frowns on combat between guilds, and Macao simply may not have chosen to risk it, given that FT was shrinking; it could have been forced to disband.
As for the hair thing, I think it would be expected that the audience would assume some risk by watching it live, and it was Lucy's choice to not fight back when the girl was threatened.
As far as Gray goes, his contest wasn't about strength. He simply failed. His opponent, the RT guy, apparently had a way to track Gray that we aren't aware of yet, mostly because we don't know his magic. But RT has entered this contest (and suddenly been approved as a legit guild?) purely to humiliate FT. They don't care about winning, as long as FT is humiliated. I gather RT and the tournament are working together in that respect, or that some kind of deal has been made. I'm fairly confident it will all be explained. My theory is that the tournament is using RT as a diversion to hide it's aims. Or that RT is using the tournament for that dark purpose.
At first, I almost thought it might be something to do with how particular dragons bestowed their magic on their students, if Wendy was the only one without and also being much younger. Did the other dragons, or Grandiny, do something different with regards to their pupils? The Edolas Wendy was much older, so it feels like Grandiny might have done something that froze Wendy in time a bit, thus saving her from getting the motion-sickness aspect.

If the gal with the blue and white bandana is Jenny (I thought the sisters had short hair) then we see her behind Jason grimmacing as Lorena tries to milk the camel. We also see the sisters (and another gal, Rachel??) dancing with grandpa. So that accounts for part of each team except the Goths.

People are asking if Jaguar will upgrade Jaguar Parts on their XK Convertible. The cars really look good, but let's admit it that it need some upgrade.
Well, it's been two years since they launched it and as of now the XK Convertible are getting sales even having the same high price since it was launched.
They said that they will upgrade it especially the interior. There will be gorgeous faux suede on the A-pillars and windshield header, a terrific 525-watt Bowers & Wilkins audio system, and the very cool Jaguar Drive selector knob with a starter button on the center. But more than simply boasting new content, the whole interior feels better. It feels more finely crafted, more pleasing to the touch —; the leather, the wood, the chrome, the plastic, all of it. In other words, it feels (at last) worthy of its not-insubstantial sticker price. And under the hood, it gets even better. The engine is the biggest change for 2010. Jaguar claims the standard XK is good for 22 mph in the Interstate. The engine is smooth, sweet-sounding, and never less than completely willing.
I really do hope to have this one. :)
