Natural Environments
Arkansas is a wonderfully diverse place. And without question, Arkansas is a beautiful state. From the majestic mountains of the Arkansas Ozarks to the swampy lowlands of the Delta, there is a wealth of natural beauty and diversity found right here in "The Natural State."
Our varied natural environment shaped who we are and what we do. As Ellen Neaville of Rogers pointed out, "We tend to think we shaped the land. But the land shaped us, and that cultural connection is so important." The rich heritage of the people, the land and the art of the culture are an integral part of our past and present.
Our Arkansas heritage is part southern, part midwestern, part southwestern, part Appalachian. Our roots extend to Europe, Africa and Asia. However, we are not simply a compilation of all those things. Instead, we have benefited and built on the heritage of other countries and other regions from our own country, and created a distinct heritage of our own.
As Arkansans, we share an underlying common heritage; however, we are not all cut from the same cloth. The land and people of each part of the state are different from those of other parts.
When people arrived in Arkansas, they found mountains, prairies, swamps and much more. As they tried to fit their uses of the land to the environment, they changed it, and their own lives changed, sometimes dramatically. Sometimes the changes caused problems because the people didn't understand the needs and values of the land.
For example, settlers of the northwestern Arkansas Ozarks often found these ancient mountains to be a rugged land with steep slopes, thin soil, bad roads and few prospects for "a good life." Cotton farming led to soil depletion, erosion and abandonment. Folks scratched out a meager existence and relied on each other but were suspicious of strangers. These are key elements of the Ozark mountaineer lifestyle. Today, the scenery of these mountains attracts visitors and residents from across the nation and they are the major growth areas of Arkansas. They are the image most people have when they envision "Arkansas, the Natural State."
However, in the Delta of eastern Arkansas people found a land with swamps, floods and mosquitoes, a wildlife paradise with deep soil that made cash-crop agriculture and plantations possible. Planters brought slaves from Africa, and eventually used mighty machines, to drain the swamps and clear the forest to grow cotton. Even long after emancipation, this is an area of both wealth and poverty, and an ecosystem that has been altered more than almost any other in North America. The forests have been cleared and the floods that created the system have been tamed by a huge network of levees and ditches. This area is the center of agricultural production in the state today, but is the focus of massive governmental programs to restore marginal crop lands to bottomland forest, along with the waterfowl and other wildlife that once occurred here in such abundance.
The Ozarks and the Delta are just two of the six major natural divisions of Arkansas. In each of these regions of Arkansas the land has distinctive potentials and limitations. People have examined, embraced and exploited these potentials, and in doing so have shaped the landscape. In turn they have been shaped by it. To understand Arkansas we must understand each of these parts; then we can put the parts together to see the whole. Click here for additional information on Arkansas's diverse regions.

Well those are good points and I think you're pretty close. The more I think about it, the more subtle it actually seems. In fact, throughout most of the series Hinata didn't actually "love" Naruto as such. Up until she said the fateful words in chapter 437, Hinata had never openly expressed her feelings for Naruto so boldly. Throughout her appearances, even in her own internal monologue, she referred to him as "the one [she] admires". She kind of "liked" him, but her feelings weren't overtly romantic like the crushes the other girls had on Sasuke. She was content to watch him and draw inspiration from him, rather than actually trying to get close to him or hoping to go out with him. Over time, these feelings would have developed into love- not coincidentally, at the same time that Naruto retained the same traits of courage and perseverence that had drawn her to him originally, but also actually became stronger, cooler and more reliable (taller and better looking too).
I agree that a lot of my theorising is probably giving Masashi Kishimoto more credit than he's due, but it's still interesting to consider the way things turn out anyway.

GERD, or Gastroesophageal reflux disease, is a chronic condition that occurs when stomach contents wash up into the throat. Many people with GERD, also known as acid reflux disease, experience heartburn — a burning feeling in the chest behind the sternum — from the exposure of stomach acid in their esophagus.
GERD is very common problem in the United States. An estimated 14-20 percent of adults in the United States suffer from GERD, according to a 2005 study in Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology. However, researchers say distinguishing heartburn sufferers from people with GERD complicates finding precise estimates for the prevalence of GERD.
Causes & symptoms
When a person swallows, a ring shaped muscle at the top of their stomach relaxes and loosens to allowed food to pass and then closes again. This muscle is called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). If the LES weakens or doesn't close completely, stomach acid or bile may leak back into the throat, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Frequent heartburn is a common symptom of GERD, and often becomes worse when the person bends or lies down. However, heartburn is just a symptom and may also occur from time to time in people who don't have GERD.
Difficulty swallowing, dry cough, sensing a lump in the throat, hoarseness and regurgitating food or a sour taste may also indicate GERD.
Someone who gets these symptoms or heartburn more than twice each week may have GERD, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Obesity, pregnancy and asthma may cause or exacerbate GERD, as can smoking.
Some medications for other conditions may also worsen GERD symptoms including some sedatives, several blood pressure medications, birth control, and antidepressants.
Diagnosis & tests
If GERD goes undiagnosed and untreated, the frequent exposure of stomach acid may scar the esophagus and make it difficult to swallow or erode an open sore in the esophageal lining.
In rare cases, untreated GERD can change the composition of the tissue in the lower esophagus into a precancerous state called Barrett's esophagus.
Primary care doctors are often the first to diagnose GERD by taking a detailed history of symptoms, according to the Mayo Clinic.
If the symptoms are severe enough, a primary care doctor may refer a patient to a gastroenterologist who may order further imaging tests such as an Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD).
An EGD involves inserting a small camera on a flexible tube down the throat to ex-amine the lining of the esophagus, stomach and the start of the small intestine, ac-cording to the NIH.
Doctors may also order a "barium swallow" where patients literally swallow a barium-laced drink and then go for a series of X-rays in different positions. Each X-ray allows doctors to track the barium as the person digests the drink.
By using a catheter running from the nose down to the throat, doctors may also use a probe to monitor the amount of stomach acid in the esophagus in a technique called esophageal pH monitoring.
Doctors may also perform an esophageal manometry to measure the pressure where the throat joins the stomach by using a catheter.
Treatments & medications
Many medications and prevention measures can relieve the symptoms of GERD. Over-the-counter antacids can provide quick relief by neutralizing stomach acid. But frequent use of these drugs may cause diarrhea or constipation, according to the Mayo Clinic.
H2-blockers can neutralize acid for a longer period of time, although they may not provide immediate relief. H2-blockers are available both over the counter and by prescription. Proton pump inhibitors, the most potent acid inhibitors, are also avail-able by prescription, according to the NIH.
Extreme cases of GERD may need surgery to increase the pressure at the opening of the stomach.
Sufferers can also try several home remedies, including sleeping with their heads elevated by 6 inches if GERD symptoms bother them during the night.
Avoiding tight-fitting clothing and food that triggers heartburn can also sooth GERD. Common heartburn triggers include alcohol, caffeine, chocolate, citrus fruits, spicy foods, full-fat dairy products and mint, according to the NIH.
Herbal remedies for GERD include licorice, slippery elm and chamomile — although rigorous studies herbal remedies for GERD are lacking.
Healthy eating tips
Excess weight will put pressure on the stomach pushing more acid into the throat, so doctors often recommend overweight patients lose weight to prevent heartburn.
Eating a healthy diet, exercising and counting calories are the most proven methods to losing weight. Doctors advise losing no more than two pounds a week, according to the Mayo Clinic.
In addition to counting calories, the U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends cooking whole grains, varying vegetables, focusing on fruit and choosing lean proteins to eat a healthy diet.
Eating smaller portions will also help GERD, and help weight loss.

My Dad recently died. He had the death rattle several days before he died. He would also cry out at times. The rattle did stop two or three days before he passed. He had excellent care from inpatient hospice and I think by them making him as comfortable as possible and doing all that they could is the reason he did not have the rattle until the end. I stayed with him all through the night and talked with him and held his hand.
The first time I held his hand and talked to him, although he seemed to be unconscious and had been that way for about three days, I felt that he squeezed my hand ever so slightly. Maybe it was reflexes or maybe my imagination. However, I talked to him a few more times through the night and I never felt the squeeze anymore.
He held on through the night and then when my mother returned the next morning (we had made the decision not to tell her that the hospice nurse thought it may be that night because the nurse also said with your Dad and as strong as he was it could have been several more days. It was a hard decision to not tell her but felt it right because she is so easily upset and not in the greatest of health either) kissed him and told him she was back and loved him, he passed away a few minutes later.
I was not right by his side when he stopped breathing. My Mom and I had stepped outside on the patio for a couple of minutes and when we came back in he was gone. So, I cannot say what the last breath was like. I cannot say how much he suffered after he was supposedly unconscious. All you can do is wonder.
However, I do know he was in pain when he was conscious and could communicate and drugs did not really help. He was also not always in his right mind the last few weeks and was getting progressively worse before his death, even though he had been given a CT that did not show that the cancer had moved to the brain. I really believe his body had just worn out from fighting and was shutting down.
All the doctors said what he fought and went through would have worn most people's bodies out in a year and he fought for seven. I know it is one of the hardest things I ever went through. However, I had much rather be there when they pass then to be away and just get the call. I really hated that I stepped out of the room just for a minute and was not there with him when he took the last breath. I will always regret that.

Updated; friendly staff; location; reasonable price; last minute availability.
The room smelled heavily of smoke. I had go and purchase my own air fresheners and odor eliminators. Since I was a last minute reservation and only one room was available I felt uncomfortable complaining.I suggest this room have more cleaning (odor).
The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and the breakfast was excellent! Homemade rolls and bisquits and sausage and gravy- Yum!
The bed wasn't the most comfortable, but that's just me being really picky.
It was a convinent location quite off the beaten path but still interstate acessible .
When i arose the first morning i noticed crack between door and door jamb this could be security issue
It was close to my business and no noise
It was a typical type of motel for that location
Arrived late but Manager was quite friendly and helpful.
Wish breakfast was open later than 10:00 am since we arrived at. 2:00 we slept past breakfast.
Good deal for the money & area, not great, not bad. Bfast was okay. No staff ever asked if we needed anything, but they were polite.
General room areas were clean. Looking closer it has been many months since things were cleaned thoroughly. Something was clearly sticking out under the refrigerator that looked like a giant wad of chewing tobacco. Desk chair & under items were filthy!
Cleanliness of the room was well below average. There was even coffee in the coffee pot from the previous guests. There wasn't even a fitted sheet on the bed, only a flat sheet. Room was non smoking, but reeked of smoke.
The hotel was just what we needed for an overnight stay..
There was nothing that was really great about this establishment.
The staff was unfriendly. The room was not very clean and was in need of repairs. When I booked it said there was a pool but their pool was closed for renovations. They didn't even have a cot for my child so she ended up sleeping on the floor.
Rooms were very clean and appeared to be well maintained. The decor was somewhat dated; however I will pick clean over decor anytime. Provided an overall good breakfast - what you would expect for an extended continental offering.
Confy clean beds--much better, updated room than I expected! Nice lobby and breakfast buffet included.
Several fast food restaurants in front and dunsters were being emptied by waste management truck around 3am. Heard other load road noise, too.
It was clean...
Need more towels and sheets in a room that you have a sofa sleeper...No sheets or pillow or extra towels for the sofa sleeper.
Clean and reasonably priced
Desk height too high for computer use. Chair didn't adjust. Breakfast area crowded and cereal selection limited.
nice and clean. Well furnished. Convenient to interstate.
clock radio did not work properly and frame on picture in bathroom was coming apart. Overall, however, the room was very good.
Nice large room with comfortable layout.
The TV did not work because of Comcast service. Following instructions from the front desk did not work. The front desk clerk had to come to the room. But after turning the tv off, every time it again didn't work. And the remote never worked.
Here's why:
We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tonnes of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car hires can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us Please send us an email and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

The B-52's, 'Funplex' (Astralwerks)
- SPIN Rating:7 of 10
Sixteen years have passed since these Athens, Georgia natives last pondered love, sex, and outer space over untamed dance beats. Here, they refresh all their tricks, with stripped-down, energetic guitar plus lithe electronics. "Pump," "Hot Corner," and the title track use scampy rhythms that, in places, escalate into melodic headbanging as Kate Pierson and Cindy Wilson harmonize with haute-Kmart verve. Other tunes are more refined, sometimes fusing melodies that could be from different songs, as on the freewheeling "Dancing Now." And as always, the B's manage to yell out nonsense like "Tell your skirt to take a hike!" and still remain cool.

unfortunately the product is so poorly built that i cant even use it.
the cap is too big to just snap on the lens so u need to press it in, risking getting your lens scratched.

Voice Recognition Ready for Consumer Devices
This looks like the year that voice recognition finally reaches the mainstream. Motorola unveiled "Mya, the 24-hour talking Internet" at the Oscars. Tellme.com and other startups are deploying voice portals that accept speech commands and read web content over a standard telephone. The latest Jaguar allows drivers to adjust the climate and sound systems using their voice.
Most of these services run on remote servers or PCs where plenty of processing power is available. But the Jaguar example is telling: CPU performance has reached the point that even an inexpensive embedded processor can perform useful voice recognition. Over the next few years, voice will become a common interface in a variety of non-PC devices, many of which will be running Linux.
Until recently, voice recognition required each user to train the system to recognize his or her particular speech patterns. Like most other software, however, voice recognition improves given faster processors and more memory. Recent products reduce training time dramatically. Speaker-independent software eliminates training entirely. To achieve highly accurate speaker-independent recognition with moderate processing requirements, designers must limit the context and vocabulary of the application. For example, a car needs to recognize only a few dozen words, including "temperature", "radio", and the numbers needed to select a station.
Lernout & Hauspie (http://www.lhsl.com/), a leading supplier of voice software, supplies speech engines for applications as simple as these, as well as far more complex ones. According to Klaus Schleicher, a director of product management at L&H, the simplest speech engine provides speaker-independent recognition of up to 100 words, but requires less than 200K of memory. L&H offers a more-powerful speech engine that can recognize up to 1,000 words, again without training. This engine requires 2MB of memory and can run on a 200MHz processor. This hardware costs a bit more, but is still easily obtainable for $30 today, and that price will drop over time. The larger vocabulary is suitable for applications such as a TV set-top box that can be programmed by speaking the name of a show or a hand-held PDA that can manage calendars and address books via voice.
Composing arbitrary text, such as an e-mail message, requires a much larger vocabulary. For this purpose, L&H has a speech engine with a 20,000-word vocabulary—twice as large as the average adult's. This engine requires some training, but only about five minutes per user. Even this large vocabulary doesn't require a full-blown PC or server; the company has demonstrated it using a 200MHz StrongArm processor and 32MB of memory. This speech engine could be incorporated into a webpad, allowing users to compose e-mail and other documents without using a keyboard.
One problem is that these speech engines are still not 100% reliable. The smaller the vocabulary, the smaller the error rate—after all, there are fewer words to confuse. In addition, a "command and control" application has natural opportunities to seek clarification. For example, if the user says "Turn off the TV" in a noisy room, the system might respond "I didn't understand that; please try again" or "Do you want the TV off?" In these limited-domain applications, the software actually interprets the voice input to determine its meaning, in this case, to turn off the TV. One possible interpretation of the input phonemes might be "turnips are meaty", but the software would quickly discard this possibility as irrelevant in the context of controlling the television. This intelligent interpretation is called natural language processing (NLP). The combination of good voice recognition and a well-programmed NLP back end can produce a reliable system.
A working example is MIT's Jupiter system, a conversation interface for weather information built by the university's Spoken Language Systems group. You can call it (1-888-573-8255, but it is often busy) and ask about the weather anywhere in the U.S. or around the world. It uses a 500MHz Pentium III PC running Linux, but it hasn't been optimized to reduce CPU overhead. Jupiter has a vocabulary of about 2,000 words and is very usable. Text dictation, however, has a much larger vocabulary and an unbounded content domain: an e-mail message could have any subject matter, even turnips. NLP for this application is much harder and generally limited to putting nouns and verbs in the right places. After dictating a few hundred words into even the best speech engine, a user is likely to have to go back and correct at least a dozen errors.
Thus, for applications where a keyboard is available and the user can type reasonably well, typing is likely to be the most efficient interface for the foreseeable future. But L&H's Schleicher says, "the human voice is the most natural user interface for communication and computing on a variety of devices." For command and control applications in cars, information appliances, set-top boxes and even PCs, voice recognition is an excellent interface. The hardware just needs the right programming—and the sound of your voice.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Rockwell Medical To Raise $12.9 Million In Registered Direct Common Stock Offering
About SFP
SFP is a unique iron compound that is delivered to the hemodialysis patient via dialysate, replacing the 5-7mg of iron lost during a dialysis treatment. SFP is introduced into the sodium bicarbonate concentrate that subsequently is mixed into dialysate. Once in the dialysate, SFP crosses the dialyzer membrane and enters the bloodstream where it immediately binds to apo-transferrin and is taken to the bone marrow, mimicking the way dietary iron is handled in the human body. In completed clinical trials to date, SFP has demonstrated that it can safely deliver iron and maintain hemoglobin levels, while decreasing ESA use without any increase in iron stores.
About Rockwell Medical
Rockwell Medical is a fully-integrated biopharmaceutical company targeting end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) with innovative products and services for the treatment of iron deficiency, secondary hyperparathyroidism and hemodialysis.
Rockwell's lead drug candidate in late-stage clinical development is for the treatment of iron deficiency and is called Soluble Ferric Pyrophosphate (SFP). SFP delivers iron to the bone marrow of dialysis patients in a non-invasive, physiologic manner via dialysate during their regular dialysis treatment. In order to prevent or treat anemia, sufficient availability of iron and erythropoietin must be present in the bone marrow to generate healthy red blood cells. In completed clinical trials to date, SFP has demonstrated that it can safely deliver sufficient iron to the bone marrow. SFP is currently in ongoing Phase 3 clinical studies (CRUISE-1 and CRUISE-2) to address an estimated $600 million U.S. and $1 billion global market. Rockwell is also preparing to launch a FDA approved generic drug called Calcitriol. Calcitriol is active vitamin D injection and indicated for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism in dialysis patients. Rockwell intends to enter the vitamin D market in 2013, addressing an estimated $350 million U.S. market. Rockwell is also an established manufacturer and leader in delivering high-quality hemodialysis concentrates/dialysates to dialysis providers and distributors in the U.S. and abroad. These products are used to maintain human life, by removing toxins and replacing critical nutrients in the dialysis patient's bloodstream. Rockwell's has three manufacturing and distribution facilities in the United States and its operating infrastructure is a ready-made sales and distribution channel that is able to provide seamless integration into the commercial market for its drug products, Calcitriol and SFP upon FDA market approval.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

The ex-CFO of Autonomy hopes to block HP's proposed settlement with shareholders over its controversial £6.5bn acquisition of the software maker.
Sushovan Hussain claimed the deal between HP and shareholders to bury the hatchet over the disastrous 2011 acquisition is "collusive and unfair" in a court filing yesterday.
He wrote that if a federal judge approved the settlement, HP could "forever bury from disclosure the real reason for its 2012 write-down of Autonomy: HP's own destruction of Autonomy's success after the acquisition".
The settlement deal reached on June 30 would see shareholders drop their claims against existing and previous HP execs and help the company pursue lawsuits against various Autonomy execs.
Hewlett-Packard's acquisition of Autonomy triggered government investigations after it wrote off £5.15bn of the purchase price in 2012, claiming it had found serious accounting irregularities in Autonomy's books.
Autonomy's founder and CEO, Mike Lynch, was then ousted from HP in May 2012, but has denied any wrongdoing.
HP spokesman Howard Clabo responded to Hussain's filing by calling it "baseless".
"Mr. Hussain's opposition to the settlement is baseless," he said. "We strongly believe that at the end of the process, the jury will conclude that Mr. Hussain engaged in a multi-billion dollar fraud."
Hussain's filing also said that shareholders' lawyers were performing an 'about-face', downplaying their failure to target Autonomy as 'immaterial' at a previous hearing in September 2013, but now - under the terms of the settlement - pursuing those executives.

Kumble says Coach Jennings knows South Africa well, we're facing two teams we've played before and we will be able to track the performance of the others. Plan is to stick to the basics and do the rights things we can do on the team. We're certainly banking on our experience and bowling power.... At RCB, we gel at a team and it's really shown in the last three tournaments we've played together. Playing with foreign players, is like coming back and playing with the Karnataka team, we're a team we know how to play together..
DISCLAIMER: above is a SUMMARY of Kumble's comments, not direct quotations
Latest comments
"playing for RCB is like playing for Karnataka".
He is so good at reminding people of the 'real symbols' in life.
@CM whats this??? my no. was there on site but i didn't got any call or email frm RCB. What can I do now??? I have lost this golden opportunity.

Parlimentary democracy in Europe. Christianity was introduced there during the Roman domination. Alfonso Henriqucs, first King of Portugal (1128 to 1185) offered his kingdom to the Church, placing it under the Blessed Virgin's protection; he founded, among others, the famous Cistercian monastery of Alcobaca. From 1185 to 1280 the Crown and the Holy See were in intermittent conflict over the rights of the clergy. During this period, the Dominicans and Franciscans made foundations in Portugal. In 1279 King Denis brought peace by restoring church properties and former rights and customs, and by prohibiting abuses by the laity, but the Church's position was weakened by the long struggle, as the clergy thus became more dependent on the monarch. Portugal remained loyal to Pope Urban VI in the Great Schism owing to the firmness of the bishops. Only a few of the 33 grievances drawn up by the clergy at the Cortes of Elvas were adjusted. In 1417 the Diocese of Ceuta was the first see erected in a non-Christian country evangelized by the Portuguese. Communication between Portugal and Rome was closed after the battle of Alfarroeira in 1451, but re-opened in 1452. Gradually the number of synods decreased, and ecclesiagtical discipline declined. Many important sees were occupied by non-resident noblemen, who had to be ordered by brief in 1501 to comply with their neglected duty of visitation. Dominican and Franciscan reforms instituted at this time spread rapidly; 23 Observants' convents were established within the century. The Inquisition was introduced into Portugal by Pope John III in 1547. The Jesuits devoted themselves, from their arrival in 1540, to erecting schools and colleges at home and to the missions in Asia and Africa. The period form 1580 to 1640, when the crowns of Spain and Portugal were united, was a disastrous time for the Church. Although Portugal lost most of her eastern possessions, her missions there continued. The Marquis of Pombal, minister to King Joseph, 1750 to 1777, expelled the Jesuits and the papal nuncio, discontinuing relations with the Holy See; caused the Jesuit Father Malagrida to be burned; and destroyed the foreign missions. After the Revolution of 1820, the Liberals suppressed all men's orders, prohibited orders of women from taking novices, confiscated Church property, and bound clergy and hierarchy to the state. By decree in 1901, religious orders were permitted to teach school and convert pagans. Religious institutes were founded by Benedictines, Franciscans, Missionaries of the Holy Spirit, Irish Dominicans, Little Sisters of the Poor, Sisters of the Third Order of Saint Dominic, Franciscan Sisters, Servites, Dorotheans, Sisters of the Missions, Salesians, Sisters of Saint John of God, Sisters of Saint Joseph of Cluny, Marists, Sisters of Saint Vincent de Paul, and Portuguese Sisters of Charity. With the establishing of the republic in 1910, Church and State were entirely separated. There is now absolute freedom of worship in Portugal; nearly 95% of the country is Catholic. Circles of Catholic workingmen have been organized, and the associations of Catholic youth deserve mention. In 1974 a military coup installed the new parlimentary democracy and granted independence to all African colonies; separation of Church and State continued.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
Okay soooooo... I've had food processors which end up stored and eventually sold or given away - great invention but vaaary intimidating for a single dad with no time to eat much less clean the 27,937 parts that come with those things. Daunting, scary. Le voila! Je vous present Le Fusion from Oster. A two in one invention that does what I need it to do with no pretensions of being a Chef Cordon Bleu (jr.). As a blender, it makes great fruit drinks and smoothies. The kids love orange, banana, pineapple but will guzzle down pretty much any combination I make (I even sneak some carrots in most of the time). The one button program for this makes life easy - spins backwards which pulls all the chunks down then spins forward to blend the whole thing together. The blender container is solid and holds just the right amount for meals (me and my 2) or a quick cool me down when it's hot outside. The food processor side is pretty good for what I need - like the song says, it whips, chops and purees... guac is a piece of cake and so is salsa. Again, the single button program makes all this available to mere mortals like me. The blender container has a small chute that you can use to pop your veggies into... unless you're like me - I just chop the veggies into smaller pieces and throw them in before closing the lid. The pulse button works well if you just want to crunch stuff up (ice, parsley, cilantro... you get the idea) and it does have manual buttons for more advanced humans. For now I'm content with the pre-programmed buttons. I've had it for a little over a year so I'm thinking it will last a long time. Looks and feels sturdy, glass container with a heavy duty plastic base. Cleaning is a breeze - the container comes apart in seconds and I just rinse or pop it in the dishwasher. A quick damp wipe keeps the base unit looking good. It's quiet to run (compared to my girlfriend's unit which sounds like a jet engine... the processor not her!) and looks nice on my counter. I got it for $69 at Target but I'm sure it's available at Amazon and other places online. Have fun!
Amount Paid (US$): 69

Listening for what animals can tell us
I know that animals talk; I saw him - black tip on the tail, reddish flank - and he saw me. I had turned on the porch light, and the whole snow-covered backyard was illuminated. He looked at me, or at least at the light, and ran.
Opossums never run when we turn on the light. They forage for sunflower-seeds spilled from the bird feeder, oblivious to all else. Raccoons look warily about, but they stick around, unhooking the suet feeder from the post, or, in summer, sipping the remains of hummingbird nectar from the feeder they've knocked to the ground.
But the fox stared at me with intelligent eyes, as if to say something.
Days earlier, we had seen his tracks in the snow. We saw squirrel tracks, too - a few feet from our back door. The fox tracks met the squirrel tracks in a great upheaval of snow and fur.
We also saw a moth, fluttering by the light. A big, brown moth, hatched too early.
It was snowing hard: large, swirling flakes. We got three inches that night. I thought of the Polyphemus cocoons stored in our garage. They were still intact when I checked - lightweight, hairy, and tan-colored. Little hardened blankets against the cold, bearing secrets.
One summer we heard loud, trilling cries from the forest. At first we thought some poor creature was being murdered - slowly. It happened night after night; we would shut our bedroom windows and shudder.
Then a friend found some baby raccoons in a tree, and we took our kids to see them. The babies made the same noise; so finally, we knew.
In an old copy of "The Illustrated Library of the Natural Sciences" there is an article about the "Poor-me-one." A bird of the goatsucker family, native to South America, it reputedly makes a sound like a lost soul wailing. A woman who had heard the sound said she hoped never to hear it again.
