text: 4 FRANZ FERDINAND MAKE A WELCOME RETURN!Justjamesb | 01/09/2013 | See all Justjamesb's reviews (35)Franz Ferdinand's fourth album, titled Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action, marks a return to music for the band and is their first album since 2009's 'Tonight'.The return is a welcome one, the album opens with the 1st single 'Right Action' (out now), which is a very catchy Indie Rock song with funky guitar sounds. The album is mainly full of up-beat songs the poppy 'Love Illumination' is another one of the highlights, a video for the song has been released online. 'Treason! Animals' is also good.Whilst 'Fresh Strawberries', is a slow paced but, interesting track that is almost like a modern version of The Beatles' 'Strawberry Field Forever'.Overall my verdict is the album does not disappoint if you've enjoyed there previous efforts particularly their 1st and 2nd albums, you'll most likely enjoy this. It has been getting positive reviews by critics too.

Comments, questions and tips
I only joined also to say please don't waste time and money on this awful recipe!! My daughter made for a competition tomorrow and they came out dense like rocks. It's too late now to make something else. I wish I'd read the reviews before. I thought we'd done something wrong, but now realise it's a rubbish recipe. That photo does not go with this recipe.
Only joined this site to say how awful this recipe for chocolate muffins is. If you like eating chocolate flavored insulation board then it might be for you. Very dry and inedible without a dollop of custard and a large cup of tea. I can only think the author of this must have got the quantity of ingredients wrong?
Unfortunately I did not notice that the recipes on this website are not tested also I didn't see the reviews - silly me - as my son used this recipe for a controlled assessment for his gcse catering and got cement blobs that were dry/hard and inedible -the ingredients seem lacking on liquids and I can't imagine who would use 500g of icing sugar to ice six cakes - I can't understand how anyone got a successful result following this recipe.
An easy recipe ideal for beginners. After reading many of the latests comments I doubled the ingredients just in case I did not get enough for six muffins. However I had more than enough for 12. So next time I'll stick to the original quantities. Also I did not make the icing here as we don't like it too sweet. We made it with cream cheese, a bit of butter and a dash of honey.
This is a lovely recipe, my suggestion is use self raising flour and soft dark brown sugar, a splash of vanilla extract and white chocolate chips/fudge chunks. A good strong hand blender/mixer and get the mixture plenty aerated. Make sure all the dry ingredients are sieved, Also a good quality cocoa. Mine came out lovely!
Really nice, this has just gone to the top of my list of favourite chocolate cakes...especially with the following icing on top: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1935652/

Decerebrate posture is an abnormal body posture that involves the arms and legs being held straight out, the toes being pointed downward, and the head and neck being arched backwards. The muscles are tightened and held rigidly. This type of posturing usually means there has been severe damage to the brain.
A severe injury to the brain is the usual cause of decerebrate posture.
Opisthotonos (a severe muscle spasm of the neck and back) may occur in severe cases of decerebrate posture.
Decerebrate posture can occur on one side, on both sides, or in just the arms. It may alternate with decorticate posture . A person can also have decorticate posture on one side of the body and decerebrate posture on the other side.
Conditions related to decerebrate posture need to be treated right away in a hospital.
Abnormal posturing of any kind usually occurs with a reduced level of alertness. Anyone who has an abnormal posture should be examined right away by a health care provider.
The person will need emergency treatment right away. This includes breathing assistance and placement of a breathing tube. The person will likely be admitted to the hospital and placed in intensive care.
Once the person is stable, the health care provider will obtain a complete medical history from family members or friends and do a more complete physical examination, including a brain and nervous system assessment.
Family members will be asked questions about the person's medical history, including:
Tests may include:
The outlook depends on the cause. There may be brain and nervous system injury and permanent brain damage, which can lead to:

Dr. James L. Edwards is President of Anderson University, Anderson, Indiana. The fourth person to hold this position in more than ninety years of history of the institution, he assumed leadership on July 1, 1990. Anderson University is a small, comprehensive university founded by the Church of God. As president, he leads a Christian university whose enrollment is around 2,500 students with more than 60 undergraduate majors and graduate programs in business, music, nursing, and theology. The university has an extensive adult education program through the Department of Adult Studies. In his role as President, he also presides over the Anderson University School of Theology, a graduate program for the training of ministers, offering master's and doctoral degrees.
President Edwards grew up in a minister's home, graduated from Fairmont High School in Kettering, Ohio, and completed bachelor's and master's degrees from Anderson University and the Anderson University School of Theology. He took his Doctor of Philosophy degree in Educational Policy and Leadership at Ohio State University, awarded in 1987. His dissertation was titled "Connections: Things That Matter to Teachers in Small Colleges." While completing his doctoral studies, he received the Earl W. Anderson Award for Research in Higher Education from Ohio State's College of Education.
Dr. Edwards has extensive involvement in the arena of higher education in Indiana and nationally, and is a busy community leader. He has served on the Board of Directors of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities.

After a quick look in my Bible not recognizing the Gospel of Philip or Thomas, found information about them above in Wikipedia. Would have helped yourself if you had given some actual links to your statements like Halfabo asked for, because they are not in Genesis concerning the cave. I'm not even sure they would all be in your own readings from just skimming the link above, and a few other links within that to Thomas, Gnostic, etc. etc. This may be part of your belief system, from what I have read in it (very little).
Alalu wrote:The first statement was a figure of speech for the most part. You chose to take it literally which indicates that you are only interested in lobbing insults and will grasp at anything to do so.
The statements after that are what I believe and what I stand for. One of the major complaints about Christians, which I believe is valid, is that they are obsessed with death because they mistakenly believe that that is what Jesus was about. They celebrate his death rather than his life. Example, Mel Gibson.
Not only have I read the Bible numerous times, I have read many of the works upon which it was based. And if it weren't for my ancestors there would be no Protestant Church on Earth and most likely no Catholic Church either since it would have been destroyed a long time ago.
Figure of speech? So what did that actually mean as a response to what I said, or why Halfabo thinks you are embellishing? Secondly, your statement about Jesus are incorrect, or just do not believe in the New Testament, You use your own Gospel of Philip stated above, it is particularly important it does not talk about the Crucifixion or Resurrection, or that Jesus is Lord, that he arose from the dead, or why he died on the cross. Last, maybe you have, or have not read the Bible numerous times, but if your dying many times was a "figure of speech", I doubt if you ever died or ever read the Bible once. I believe Halfabo said, he has actually died twice, presumably his heart actually stopped and he was brought back--hence an actual near death experience. Big claim without your ancestors there would be no Protestant Church or Catholic Church. Who probably does not have ancestry or blood that goes back to the Days of Jesus somehow, or for that matter we all helped build the Pyramids. See how ridicules you sound?

Ti-Lite® tactical folders evoke the sleek speed and rebellious lines of the classic 1950's-styled switchblade. Unlike most switchblades however, they are legal to carry nearly everywhere.
They feature Japanese made AUS 8A stainless steel blades with a bead blast finish, razor sharp edges and sturdy, needle sharp points. The CNC milled handles are forged from super tough 7075 Aluminum billets and are given an attractive bead blast surface and finished with a protective EDP (Electric Discharge Plating) coating. And for maximum strength and safety, Ti-Lites® are equipped with patent pending, stainless steel leaf spring locks (proven, in our tests, to hold 130 lbs).
For ease of carry, the Ti-Lites® come equipped with a small, but unobtrusive steel pocket clip, and can be opened rapidly by using the thumb studs or by snagging a quillon on the edge of your pocket as you draw your knife out.
The Zy-Ex Handled Ti-Lites®
Custom quality folding knives, especially those manufactured with Titanium handles and Titanium leaf spring locks are undeniably strong, lightweight, and beautiful to look at, but they're also quite expensive.
Instead of 7075 Aluminum, 43% glass filled Zy-Ex is used for the handles and high quality stainless steel for the leaf spring lock and liners. The results are extraordinarily lightweight knives that are remarkably strong, sharp and good looking, at a price almost everyone can afford.

Guava Chutney |
Guava - 2 small
garlic - 4 cloves
cumin seeds - 1 tsp
green chili - 2
tamarind - 1 Tbsp
Oil - 1 tbsp
sugar - 1 tsp
lime juice or vinegar - 1 tsp
salt - 1 tsp ( according to your taste)
Tempering Ingredients
1. Cut the stems of guava on top and bottom , Wash and pat dry them
2. Cut into 4 slices and remove the seeds part. and cut the wedges into small cubes.
3. Heat oil in the non stick pan, add cumin seeds.
4. followed by garlic, green chili and tamarind.
5. Add the guava cubes to pan and fry it for 3 min.
6. Add the Sugar and simmer for 1 more min.
7. Let this mixture cool and grind all the ingredients in the mixie along with salt and lime juice. ( use water little as needed)
9. Now Take it into a serving bowl and top with Tempering.
To get the Goodness of this, Serve this over Hot White Rice with Ghee. Hmmm Yum, Yum...
- Sugar and Lime Juice will remove the tartness of Guava.
- You have to pick the Raw Guava ( not the ripe one)
- The texture of this chutney will be little rough compare to other chutneys. This feels similar to Chintakaya Pachadi (Raw Tamarind Chutney).
- If you use pink Guavas, you will light pink color in your chutney. ( But i prefer white Guavas for this)
Take Care until next time we meet here..

Absolutely awesome. I discovered it in late March for the first time and a lot of people I have talked to hadn't heard of it, so figured I'd pass it on. If you subscribe to HBO, you can activate an account to HBO Go and watch every episode of any show they have ever shown for free (well, besides the cost of subscribing to HBO).
It's on XBOX Live now too. Anyway, figured I'd pass the info on in case anybody hadn't heard of it yet.

A TSH test measures the amount of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in your blood. TSH is produced by the pituitary gland. It tells the thyroid gland to make and release thyroid hormones into the blood.
Thyrotropin; Thyroid stimulating hormone
A blood sample is needed.
Other thyroid tests that may be done at the same time include:
There is no preparation needed for this test. Ask your health care provider about any medicines you are taking that may affect the test results. Do not stop taking any medicines without first asking your health care provider.
Medicines you may need to temporarily stop include:
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing or a slight bruise. This soon goes away.
Your doctor will order this test if you have symptoms or signs of an overactive or underactive thyroid gland. It is also used to monitor treatment of these conditions.
Normal values range from 0.4 - 4.0 milli-international units per liter (mIU/L). Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
If you are being treated for a thyroid disorder, your TSH level will likely be kept between 0.5 and 4.0 mIU/L, except in these situations:
TSH values can vary during the day. It is best to have the test early in the morning.
A higher-than-normal TSH level is most often due to an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism ). There are many causes of this problem.
A lower-than-normal level may be due to an overactive thyroid gland, which can be caused by:
Use of certain medicines may also cause a lower-than-normal TSH level. These include glucocorticoids/steroids, dopamine, certain chemotherapy drugs, and opioid painkillers such as morphine.
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:

Morris noted: "We are pleased to show our continued support of THX by expanding our THX Approved product offering to include our flagship CTs Series.

Famous Long Ago Archive
Famous Long Ago Collection, ca.1960-2005.
Ray Mungo's Famous Long Ago (1970) and Steve Diamond's What the Trees Said (1971) are classic visions of late 1960s counterculture and of life in New England communes. The communes on which Mungo and Diamond settled, Packer Corner and the Montague Farm, became the center of what might be considered a single extended community, embracing the Wendell Farm and Johnson Pasture and Tree Frog Farm in Vermont. The Farmers themselves were, and remain, a diverse group, including photographers, novelists, and poets, artists, actors, and activists.
An umbrella collection, the Famous Long Ago Archive contains a growing number of collections relating to the communes at Montague Farm, Packer Corners, Johnson Pasture, Wendell Farm, and Tree Frog Farm. These range from the papers of Steve Diamond, Raymond Mungo, and Jonathan Maslow to Randy Kehler and Betsy Corner (the latter of whom lived at Montague Farm), the records of the Liberation News Service, the Alternative Energy Coalition, and Musicians United for Safe Energy, to the photographic collections of Roy Finestone and Stephen Josephs.

Five College Program in Peace and World Security Studies (Mass.)
Five College Program in Peace and World Security Studies Records, 1982-1989.
Call no.: MS 264
Established in 1983 by a group of faculty and administrators in the Five College community who perceived an urgent need for increased faculty dialogue about issues involving peace, security, and the nuclear arms race. Expanded in 1984 with the support of a grant from the Ford Foundation, PAWSS continued as a multidisciplinary program that sought to engage faculty in a consideration of various perspectives on world security and to assist them with curriculum development involving these issues.
This small collection includes circular letters and flyers produced by PAWSS describing the group's activities as well as materials used by faculty during summer institutes and to develop curriculum.

Foster, Nancy E.
Nancy E. Foster Papers, 1972-2010.
Call no.: MS 753
For the better part of four decades, Nancy E. Foster was active in the struggle for social justice, peace, and political reform. From early work in civil rights through her engagement in political reform in Amherst, Mass., Foster was recognized for her work in the movements opposing war, nuclear power, and the assault on civil liberties after the September 11 terrorist attacks. Locally, she worked with her fellow members of the Unitarian Universalist Society of Amherst and with interfaith coalitions to address problems of hunger and homelessness.
Centered in western Massachusetts and concentrated in the last decade of her life (2000-2010), the Nancy Foster Papers includes a record of one woman's grassroots activism for peace, civil liberties, and social justice. The issues reflected in the collection range from the assault on civil liberties after the 9/11 terrorist attacks to immigration, hunger and poverty, the Iraq Wars, and the conflict in Central America during the 1980s, and much of the material documents Nancy's involvement with local organizations such as the Social Justice Committee of the Unitarian Universalist Society of Amherst. The collection also contains a valuable record of Nancy's participation in local politics in Amherst, beginning with the records of the 1972 committee which was charged with reviewing the Town Meeting.

Green Mountain Post Films
Green Mountain Post Films Records, 1968-ca.1985.
Call no.: MS 516
Co-founded by Charles Light and Daniel Keller, Green Mountain Post Films has produced and distributed films for more than twenty-five years. Their first documentary film released in 1975, Lovejoy's Nuclear War, was one of the first films to question the nuclear energy policy of the United States. Since then GMP Films has continued to produce movies that explore social issues, and their films have been used as educational and organizational tools for activists working on peace, veteran, nuclear, environmental and other related issues.
The collection contains very little that documents the activities of GMP Films, chiefly research files, correspondence, and proposals relating to film projects either produced or under consideration. The bulk of the collection consists of alternative press publications from the 1960s-1970s.

Inglis, David R.
David R. Inglis Papers, 1929-2003 (Bulk: 1946-1980).
Call no.: FS 033
David R. Inglis enjoyed a distinguished career in nuclear physics that ranged from theoretical work on the structure of the nucleus in the 1930s to the development of the atomic bomb in the 1940s and work on renewable energy in the 1960s and 1970s. A Professor of Physics at UMass from 1969-1975, Inglis was a founding member of the Federation of American Scientists and from the mid-1940s on, he dedicated himself to informing public policy on the dangers of nuclear technologies.
The Inglis Papers offer a perspective on the life and career of a theoretical physicist who grew from an early involvement in the Manhattan Project to becoming a committed critic of nuclear weaponry and nuclear power. Although the collection is relatively sparse in unpublished scientific work, it includes valuable correspondence relating to Inglis's efforts with the Federation of American Scientists and other organizations to influence public policy on issues relating to disarmament and nuclear power.

Kehler, Randy
Randy Kehler Papers, 1978-1997.
Call no.: MS 396
A veteran of the peace movement and founder of the Traprock Peace Center (1979), Randy Kehler was active in the National Nuclear Weapons Freeze Campaign, the Peace Development Fund, and the Working Group on Electoral Democracy. Beginning in 1977, he and his wife became war tax resisters, withholding federal income tax to protest U.S. military expenditures, donating it instead to charity. As a consequence, their home was seized by the IRS in 1989, setting up a protracted legal struggle that resulted in Kehler's arrest and imprisonment and the sale of the house. They remain tax resisters.
The Kehler Papers document the five year struggle (1989-1994) against the seizure and sale of the Kehlers' home by the IRS. The collection includes meeting minutes, notes, correspondence, newspaper clippings; letters to the editor, essays, articles, plans and strategy documents for the vigil set outside the Kehler home; support committee information and actions; correspondence with government officials, the IRS, and the Justice Department; letters of support; documents from the legal proceedings; and political literature addressing the Kehlers' situation.

Kleckner, Susan
Susan Kleckner Papers, ca.1970-2010.
Call no.: MS 725
A feminist, filmmaker, photographer, performance artist, writer, and New Yorker, Susan Kleckner helped to define the Feminist Art Movement. Born in 1941, Kleckner was instrumental in uniting Women Artists in Revolution (WAR) with Feminists in the Arts in 1969, and in 1970 she became a founder of the Women's Interart Center, which still fosters women artists in the performing, visual, and media arts. A talented and prolific visual artist, she produced several important video documentaries during her career, beginning with Three Lives (made in collaboration with Kate Millet in 1970), which is considered the first all-women produced feature documentary. Her work often reflected a feminist commitment to the cause of peace: she participated in and photographed the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp in England during the mid-1980s and in 1987, she curated a major year-long installation on Broadway called WindowPeace. A brilliant teacher, Kleckner was the first woman to teach photography at the Pratt Institute and she worked at the International Center for Photography in New York from 1982 until her death in July 2010.
A wide ranging and highly diverse collection, the Kleckner Papers document a life in art and activism. The diaries, letters, notes, and essays in the collection are augmented by hundreds of photographic prints and artwork in a variety of media.

Peace Development Fund
Peace Development Fund Records, 1981-2010.
Call no.: MS 427
First conceived in 1980, the Peace Development Fund (PDF) was founded by a small group of activists and donors with a vision: to raise money to fund grassroots organizations promoting peace, global demilitarization, and non-violent conflict resolution. During the foundation's first funding cycle, PDF awarded 19 grants to projects designed to increase understanding of the arms race; some to organizations as nearby as Deerfield and Northampton and others to organizations as far away as California. With the end of the Cold War in the late 1980s, PDF changed focus. Instead of thinking of peace as the absence of war, the Foundation began to see peace as "the presence of equitable relationships among people, nations, and the environment." Since that time, PDF has developed a new perspective on peacework, one centered on fostering social, environmental, and economic justice.
The records of the Peace Development Fund consist chiefly of grant-making files documenting the many organizations that submitted and received awards. Also included is a nearly complete run of PDF's annual reports, newsletters, and other publications, which together offer a full picture of the foundation's funding and programmatic history. Exchange Project files record PDF's efforts to provide training, not just money, to organizations lacking the skills necessary for effective fund-raising, strategic planning, instituting sound organizational structures, and dismantling racism.

Nokia phones | Nokia Asha 302 review
The Asha 302 is a budget BlackBerry-style phone with a full QWERTY keyboard. Similar in size and style to other phones of this type - the BlackBerry Curve 8520, Samsung Chat 335 and Orange Rio II - the Nokia is lightweight but looks premium with its smart metallic strip design. It's a great phone for social media and messaging, with the obvious advantage of the physical QWERTY keyboard, plus easy texting, email and instant messaging. A facebook app is provided and the Asha also comes with the WhatsApp instant messaging app pre-installed. The screen isn't huge, but it's standard for this type of phone. Similarly the camera is rather basic, at just 3.2 megapixels and no fancy features. Video recording is at a pixel-challenging 176x144 resolution, so don't expect to be shooting many movies on this thing. The Asha is very well equipped for connectivity, with both Wi-Fi and fast 3G HSPA connectivity available for downloading data and messages. This is not a smart phone - it runs Nokia's Series 40 operating system, but there are some handy apps pre-installed. The facebook app is well integrated, so you can check on updates live. You can download a small range of apps from the Nokia Store too. The processor is very fast, running at 1GHz, which is faster than many smartphones, and makes everything respond instantly. On the other hand, the built-in memory is limited to 100MB, which isn't a lot by today's standards. You can add a microSD card for extra storage though. It's useful to compare the Asha with its competitors. The BlackBerry 8520 costs about the same, and does everything the same, except it lacks the Asha's 3G connection. The Samsung Chat costs less, but again is missing 3G. The Orange Rio II does have 3G (but not Wi-Fi) and also costs less than the Nokia. On the other hand, the Nokia is a very good phone in its own right, with an excellent array of features in a smart and reasonably-priced package. Nokia Asha 302 features include:

Electroretinography is a test to measure the electrical response of the eye's light-sensitive cells, called rods and cones. These cells are part of the retina (the back part of the eye).
ERG; Electrophysiologic testing
While you are in a sitting position, the health care provider places numbing drops into your eyes, so you will not have any discomfort during the test. Your eyes are held open with a small device called a retractor. An electrical sensor (electrode) is placed on each eye.
The electrode measures the electrical activity of the retina in response to light. A light flashes, and the electrical response travels from the electrode to a TV-like screen, where it can be viewed and recorded. The normal response pattern has waves called A and B.
The doctor will take the readings in normal room light and then again in the dark, after allowing 20 minutes for your eyes to adjust.
No special preparation is necessary for this test.
The probes that rest on your eye may feel a little scratchy. The test takes about 1 hour to perform.
This test is done to detect disorders of the retina. It is also useful in determining if retinal surgery is recommended.
Normal test results will show a normal A and B pattern in response to each flash.
The following conditions may cause abnormal results:
The cornea may get a temporary scratch on the surface from the electrode. Otherwise, there are no risks with this procedure.
You should not rub your eyes for an hour after the test, as this could injure the cornea. Your doctor will discuss with you the results of the test and what it means for you.

Sette Eyewear Vexx Phantom with Extra Lenses
The Sette Phantom sunglasses are a great pair of shades for someone looking for equal amounts of style on and off the bike. The Phantom's impact resistant lenses provide total protection from the elements in a very streamlined package.The Phantom comes standard with three sets of interchangeable lenses featuring Decentered Focal Point Technology to keep your focus razor sharp in all light conditions. Finally, the frame of the Phantom incorporates non-slip material where you need it most to ensure that you can keep railing that descent without worrying about your glasses sliding off your face.
Like the fit but the lenses pop off everytime you go to put the glasses on with your helmet. Finally ended up just gluing one set of lenses in them and had to buy another pair for other light conditions. Would not recommend even for the low price.

NPL Team Advances To Nationals
The '98 Colorado Rush NPL (National Premier League) boys squared off in the Mountain Developmental League (MDL) Playoffs. This MDL Playoffs is comprised of the top two finishers from both the Colorado Conference and the New Mexico/Arizona Conference.
Our Colorado Rush NPL team was a squad which brought the 3 Colorado branches together featuring elite players from North Area: Juanantonio Ruiz, Joel Sanchez, and Daniel DeLeon and Pikes Peak: Andrew Turk. Another elite player joined our Club from Edge, Armando Ocampo. All players played key roles in the weekend. It truly was a Rush, unified effort.
The first day of semifinal games were scheduled as CO Rush vs SC Del Sol (AZ) and FC Boulder vs Sereno SC (AZ). The Rush and Del Sol game was an open attacking game where many chances were created, and the score line represented it. Head Coach, Cameron Bushey commented, "It was a good game for us. To finish the game 4-2 – having scored goals in key moments of the game to keep our momentum, energy, and confidence about us – it is a game where we are very happy with the result and the soccer product." Goal scorers were featured from each branch: this year's Rush Golden Boot winner Jack O'Brien (CO), Sanchez netted twice (NA), and Turk (PP) scored his first goal of the year. In the other semifinal, Sereno found themselves a 1-0 victory over a strong FC Boulder team, so the final was set as Colorado Rush vs Sereno SC.
In the championship game, the Rush came again with a quality soccer product. Ryan Wilson (CO) and Cody Brazelton (CO) were pulling the strings of the team inside, and it was some beautiful attacking soccer being played. With David Solis (CO) at center back leading the backline, with his center back accomplice Phillip Gustafson (CO), the team was free to express themselves in attack. Late in the first half, the Rush found the score sheet with quick break-out play that Colorado Rush Director Mike Piserchio would be drooling over. Goalkeeper Easton Hartman (CO) collected the ball and found Brazelton on an early release pass, Brazelton maneuvered past the first defender freeing winger Daulton Logan (CO) to have space to play a near 50 yard early-cross to O'Brien at the back post. O'Brien coolly headed the ball inside the post. The Sereno keeper was left with little he could do. The Rush continued to play good soccer through the second half while squashing Sereno counter attacks. Sereno was dangerous, but our Rush boys defended with composure and tenacity. Through the middle of the second half, our boys earned a freekick nearly 35 yards out which Wilson was keen to have a go at the goal from. He scored at the top corner at the "near" post (if you could say a post was "near" from that distance). It was a well placed finish. The boys did not allow Sereno to see dangerous chances through the end of the game as we finished the game confidently. The final whistle blew, and the celebrations began! It truly was a good win against a good opponent to finish a great weekend.
Coach Cameron was caught after the game for comments again. "Well, Sereno is a good team with good players, but we were the team imposing ourselves on the game today. This may have been our best team effort yet, and I am proud of the boys. For me, they deserve what we have achieved. We are proud to be able to represent the Club at NPL national, and the New Mexico Rush U15 boys have advanced to nationals as well. It is a good day for our Club, for Rush Soccer."
NPL Nationals is later this summer, July 18-22, at Aurora Sports Park. Good luck to both our Colorado Rush and New Mexico Rush teams!

But some students were willing to talk about their grievances: Their dissents came from both far left and far right. Some wanted more autonomy and better classrooms; some, political changes.
Yet, curiously, the friendly atmosphere quickly returned: Both students and soldiers responded cheerfully to our questions.
During the troubles in Antananarivo, Steve and I flew north to Antsiranana (formerly Diego Suarez), until 1973 a French naval base for 3,500 people. We half expected a ghost town, like Gan.
"There's not an empty house or apartment in town," a local entrepreneur assured me at a sidewalk café. "Oh, our population fell off for a while, but now it must be 50,000—and twice that for the region. We have . . . visitors, from abroad." His eyes wandered to a far table. There sat a group of burly Slays. "Of course, Russians," said my companion. "Engineers installing radar across the bay, or that's the rumor."
The bay, one of the finest natural harbors in the Indian Ocean, is often compared in beauty to Rio de Janeiro's. President Ratsiraka has insisted that the Russians will not be given access to the old French facilities. And, indeed, until the raising of some sunken ships from World War II, the great harbor could not serve a large navy adequately.
President Ratsiraka has said, "I am ideologically closer to the Soviet Union than to the Americans." But he also insists that Madagascar "is probably the only really nonaligned country." He defends Red Army action in Afghanistan as "a strategy of `disencirclement. '" Yet he has also warmly welcomed the first U. S. ambassador in Antananarivo for five years.

In the list of wonderful, accidental finds we have made for the shop, few rival the discovery of Italian confectioners, Pietro Romanengo fu Stefano. On a trip to northern Italy, Ihsan and Valerie were strolling the labyrinthine streets of old Genova when they stumbled across a fantastical, gem-like little shop.
Since 1780, the Romanengo family has been dispensing handmade candies from this beautiful shop with its marble walls, glass shelves and rich wooden cases. Crystal receptacles are filled with confetti-colored candied fennel seeds, threads of sugar-coated cinnamon, sweet fruit fondants, chewy rosewater marshmallows and tiny pastiglie. On his first visit, Ihsan bought some treats to take home and each parcel was painstaking wrapped in dark blue tissue-like paper and tied with a Genovese sailors knot. Since that trip, we have been importing directly from Romanengo and several staff members have made the pilgrimage to Genova themselves! (more…)

Lovers of English literature will find Holland Park in London a place associated with literature giants. Lord Byron, William Wordsworth and Charles Dickens often visited Holland House when it was a popular meeting place for London's literati. Unfortunately, only a shell of the house remains, as it was badly damaged by bombing during the London Blitz of the Second World War. Nonetheless, it is the centerpiece for small but lovely Holland Park. Covering 54 acres (around 22 hectares), Holland Park is heavily wooded, and somewhat more intimate than London's other parks. The remaining part of Holland House, a Jacobean mansion that was built by Sir William Cope in 1606 – 1607, is now used as a youth hostel. Much of the original terraced garden, shaded by magnificent horse chestnut trees, is still intact.
Botany lovers will want to see the famous Japanese Kyoto Garden on the west side of the park. This beautiful addition was created in 1991 for the London Festival of Japan. Holland Park is home to the wildlife as well, especially peacocks. It has sports facilities, playgrounds for children, an ecology center, and a cafeteria. There is an outdoor theater on a terrace of the house that is used in the summer for a ten week season of opera and ballet. Art exhibitions are also held here.

What's the story with The Rivs' player roster on their website. It looks like last season's ending roster plus Blues rookie additions and oversees committed players added.
Why are Filawich (Europe), Lehtera (Finland), Whitfield (left as UFA) and several others who left as UFAs still listed on the roster? I think there have been a few recent signings that aren't on it yet. Do we have to wait until Camp before it will be accurate?

Wishful thinking but public-sector big labor took a HUGE hit from the American citizens yesterday. Scott Walker, despite big-labor throwing all they could muster at him and Obama launching a get-out-the-vote ground campaign, survived the recall in a veritable land-slide victory over the Democrat. And San Diego and San Jose of all places, just had their liberal citizens vote by a whopping 70%, to cut public-sector pension plans for people who are still working in an effort to help restore budget balance. So many people voted in favor of these cuts, that experts say it's inevitable that even labor-union employees voted to cut their own pensions. People are waking up and smelling the Greek coffee brewing.
I think the public are starting to realize that if we maintain the status quo, we will end up like Greece, so we better do something now before it's too late. Public-sector pension plans in California pay retirees 90% of their salary for the rest of their life. That is just ridiculously unsustainable and pension-plan payouts are bankrupting cities all over the nation.
This is just the beginning.

After a mastectomy , some women choose to have cosmetic surgery to recreate their breast. This surgery can be performed during mastectomy itself or later.
The breast is usually reshaped in two stages, or surgeries. During the first stage, a tissue expander is used. An implant is placed during the second stage. Sometimes the implant is inserted in the first stage.
If you are having reconstruction at the same time as your mastectomy, your surgeon may do a skin-sparing mastectomy. This means only the area around your nipple and areola is removed and skin is left to make reconstruction easier.
If you will have breast reconstruction later, your surgeon will remove enough skin over your breast during the mastectomy to be able to close the skin flaps.
Breast reconstruction with implants is usually done in two stages, or surgeries. During the surgeries, you will receive general anesthesia (asleep and pain-free).
In the first stage:
In the second stage:
You may have another minor procedure later that remakes the nipple and areola area.
Breast implants surgery
You and your doctor will decide together about whether to have breast reconstruction, and when to have it.
Having breast reconstruction does not make it harder to find a tumor if your breast cancer comes back.
Getting breast implants does not take as long as breast reconstruction (which uses your own tissue). You will also have fewer scars. The size, fullness, and shape of the new breasts are more natural with reconstruction that uses your own tissue.
Many women choose not to have breast reconstruction or implants. They may use a prosthesis (an artificial breast) in their bra that gives them a natural shape, or they may choose to use nothing at all.
Women who have had a lumpectomy rarely need to have breast reconstruction.
Risks of any surgery are:
Risks of breast reconstruction with implants are:
Tell your surgeon if you are taking any drugs, supplements, or herbs you bought without a prescription.
During the week before your surgery:
On the day of your surgery:
You may be able to go home the same day as the surgery. Or you will need to stay in the hospital overnight.
Results of this surgery are usually very good. It is nearly impossible to make a reconstructed breast look exactly the same as the remaining natural breast. You may need more "touch up" procedures to get the result you want.
Reconstruction will not restore normal sensation to the breast or the new nipple.
Having cosmetic surgery after breast cancer can improve your sense of well-being and your quality of life.

However, it's my opinion that no human being has the right to deny another human being life. As far as I'm concerned, the death penalty is government condoned murder. And every time someone dies on death row, the entire country has murdered that person, because we all pay the taxes that make it happen. Which is kind of sickening, to be honest.
