Mr. Finley - That's Real Sh*t
I'd like to think all the Boothies out their have a bullsh*t radar than easily detects all the fake emcees who act tough on the mic, but in realty are softer than a mattress. Those radars won't be needed for the latest from Mr. Finley because his latest, That's Real Sh*t, is…well…real sh*t. Over a slick Pen and Pad Productions beat that features a string based track that has some trap brushstrokes and a well placed Malcolm X sample, Finley, a Vegas native, gives you fakes a dose of truth, sharing some of the knowledge he has learned from grinding in Sin City. With a passionate, grimy flow and a set of black and white visuals, allowing you to walk a mile in his shoes, its clear that Finley doesn't just spit about that life, he lives it. That's Real Sh*t will appear on the Ghet-O-Vision signee's No Sleep Til Vegas project, coming soon.

It's so gratifying to hear from past graduates, especially if they are carving out a career in international tourism. This morning, Samer Naouri got in touch to tell me about his work with Story Entertainment; a great name for a company that combines tourism with events. Samer graduated in 2014 with a BSc Honours degree in International Tourism Management from Plymouth University. He worked with me, Lio Ball, Andy and Clarisse at Cotehele House, the National Trust property on the Tamar, to pilot the initial project for our Research Masters degree in Travel Writing. The story for Samer's first major travel event, though, unfolds in the very different climate of Jordan. With VIP treatment, guests will visit the Dead Sea and Petra, one of the seven wonders of the world and be taken in style to a two-day beach party at Aqaba. It runs from 28th April to 3rd May 2016 so I am hoping he will send us some more news and photos.
Samer uses Facebook to promote and organise his special events; this one is at https://www.facebook.com/events/1561787654141440/

Mikel in confident mood
By Alex Livie
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
John Obi Mikel has expressed delight with Chelsea's win over Liverpool.
John Obi Mikel has expressed delight with Chelsea's win over Liverpool and is confident they will complete the job at Anfield next week.
Chelsea secured a 1-0 advantage in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final courtesy of Joe Cole's goal.
Both camps have expressed satisfaction with the result, with Liverpool confident the Anfield factor will enable them to turn the tie on its head.
Mikel, though, feels Chelsea will have been buoyed by the Stamford Bridge success and is confident they will be able to reach the final in Athens.
"I am really happy," the midfielder told ChelseaTV. "I am really pleased with our performance as a team and the result as well.
"We needed it and it was important we went to Anfield 1-0 up and hopefully that is going to boost our morale and make us work harder to ensure we win at Anfield."

Louis Walsh axed from X Factor after 11 years as Simon Cowell fears fans are tired of the Irish judge - reports
Simon Cowell has reportedly axed resident Irish judge Louis Walsh from the X Factor judging panel after an 11 year stint on the show.
Music mogul Simon is believed to be cutting Louis loose as he fears fans of the long-running talent show are tiring of the Irish judge.
"Viewers had become sick of Louis' constant use of tired clichés and the same old jokes," an insider told The Irish Sun.
"He'd been doing it for 11 years and it seemed like he was just going through the motions."
The Mayo-born boy band manager is not thought to have taken the blow too hard and is said to be "ready" to vacate his seat after more than a decade.
After Westlife's international success, Louis is keen to throw all of his focus into his Irish boy band Hometown who he believes have the potential for stardom that rivals One Direction.
X Factor bosses are now panicking as they have two seats to fill after Mel B was also axed after just one year.
As a testament to their close friendship, Simon is believed to have broken the news to Louis in person.
"They are close friends so Simon wanted to do this in the right way," an insider said.
"He didn't want to leave the discussion to executive producer Richard Holloway because that backfired so badly when he sacked Cheryl Fernandez Versini from X Factor USA in 2011.
"Simon spoke to Louis and told him that it's 95pc certain that he'll be stood down this year," said the insider.
This isn't the first time Louis has been asked to leave his seat on the X Factor. In 2007, Louis was fired from the show, only to be reinstated after an apology from Cowell.
"It is very likely that Simon will invite Louis down to X Factor this year to act as his adviser behind the scenes. It will be up to Louis if he chooses to come but Simon views him as part of his family," said the insider.
Louis is not the only casualty of the freshened up new series, as host Dermot O'Leary has also been cut from the show after a long stint. He will be replaced by former X Factor contestant Olly Murs and Caroline Flack who will take the reigns of the main show on TV3.

Wolfgang Puck BlenderDurable, transparent, and BPA free with Eastman Tritan™ copolyester
Wolfgang Puck
Wolfgang Puck 1050–watt commercial blender, the kitchen appliance that can make steamy hot soups, iced smoothies and the Wolfgang Puck Chopper, a 400-watt, dual power, multi-blade chopper is versatile enough to prepare everything from fresh pesto to fruit smoothies to ice cream.
Wolfgang Puck Appliances Inc needed a food-safe material that was BPA-free, very tough, held up to high and low temperatures, glasslike clarity and dishwasher durability. "These attributes parallel the high quality standards that are synonymous with the Wolfgang Puck brand," said Mike Sanseverino, executive vice president, W.P. Appliances, Inc
Eastman Tritan copolyester, With its glass-like clarity, minus the weight, shatter-risk, and slick-wet handling that comes with traditional glass products in the kitchen, Eastman Tritan™ copolyester is the perfect material for the blender and chopper carafes. "We looked to Tritan™ because of the advantages the material offers for our customers," said Sanseverino.
Tritan™ is a new-generation clear plastic with excellent toughness and impact resistance. Unlike some plastics, Tritan is made without bisphenol-A (BPA) and it retains clarity after repeated dishwasher washing cycles, without hazing or cracking
What's next!
Celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck's line, W.P. Appliances, Inc., have used Eastman Tritan™ copolyester in other products launched earlier this year. "As we've begun to migrate other products, we've found that molding Tritan™ has been effortless, with only slight adjustments to existing equipment and processes," says Sanseverino. "We have a goal of using the material for 100% of the line."

Your monthly guide to staff training outside the box
Eyes / Lenses / Fitting Lenses / Free-Form / Frames / Sunwear / Patient Solutions / In-office / Standards
Do you ever think: "I remember seeing an article about that..." but can't find it easily or remember the details? The bad news is the enormous amount of information that one needs to sort through to find just the right part of that article you need. The good news is the new CE Plus.
CE Plus focuses on topics that require specific knowledge or practical how-tos for the everyday demands of your office. To save you the time, we've done the research to deliver a set of specific takeaways that can be implemented right away. And when appropriate, we'll add a "resource guide" where more information can be found from accredited CE courses, L&T articles, the Opticians Handbook and other well-known sources.
This first issue's topic is Measurement-PD, Height and Tilt. It's timely since we're seeing more tablets, apps and freestanding digital devices. They make sense, especially in an environment where your customer is looking for all the ways that products can be personalized for them while it separates you from other eyewear sources.

Patients who have lost an eye tend to carry their heads turned somewhat to the side of the lost eye. This should be taken into account when measuring the monocular PD by taking the PD with a PD rule, with the patient's head in its slightly turned position.
You can increase the effective width of both the corridor and the reading area of a progressive lens by using more illumination. This decreases the pupil sizes and increases the depth of focus of the eyes. It is a temporary measure that helps in adaptation, especially if the patient has not previously worn PAL lenses.

Trying to ascertain in advance the postural habits for a new multifocal client is like trying to determine what you'll find at the beginning of an archeological dig. Below is a short list of things to remember:
What is the "right" position for a multifocal or a progressive? It depends on how good a sleuth you become about discovering where a patient's "sweet spot" for optimal multifocal position is. This can be a tale of trial and error. But getting experience sleuthing position problems will improve your scoring average and shorten the time needed to get your client satisfied.
Are you using a millimeter ruler for PDs and fitting heights? Does it define your expertise?
Competition, the Internet and new technology are placing new demands on optical staff every day. Many have suggested that they can do "just as good a set of measurements" with a millimeter ruler. Some say that these devices will replace them in the office. Others say it takes too much time.
The variety of iPad-based and freestanding floor or desktop devices is a way to free us up to do what we do best, i.e., recommend and sell the best of the newest styles of frames and the best of materials, designs and treatments in lens technologies. Factoid: The average optometric office receives 50 to 60 percent of its gross revenue from optical. The other fact about this office is that eye exam revenue and lens sales revenue are about equal. Why not consider investing in the technology of optical if a major revenue source is that side of the practice?
—Mark Mattison-Shupnick, ABOM
Many younger children and infants will not sit still long enough for a pupillometer or their PD is too narrow for its range. In these cases, use an "anatomical PD" approach.
Measure from the outer edge of one eye to the inner edge of the companion eye. In some cases, this must be done quickly and with precision. In difficult cases, your best estimate will most likely be sufficient. Sometimes a penlight can provide a few seconds of staring by the child and allows a reflex PD.

A double suicide bombing has taken place in the Lebanese capital Beirut just outside the Iranian embassy killing at least 22 people and injuring more than 140. This is the worst in Shia southern Beirut since the war across the border in Syria began. This attack is also the first on an Iranian target.
Meanwhile, there are conflicting reports about cultural attaché Ebrahim Ansari. Previously, the Iranian ambassador in Beirut confirmed that he died in the attack saying it was not clear if he had been in the embassy or one of the residential buildings nearby. However, the Iranian foreign minister says otherwise. It said that that Ansari, who had only taken up this post last month, is alive.
UK Foreign Secretary William Hague joined the Syrian government in condemning the attack. He said: The UK is strongly committed to supporting stability in Lebanon and seeing those responsible for this attack brought to justice."
Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati reacted to the news saying: "The aim of the blast is to stir up the situation in Lebanon and use the Lebanese arena to convey messages."

'Horrific' attack: intruder stabs dad near baby
A night out turned into a nightmare for a young Darwin family after a father was stabbed by an intruder near his baby.
Duty Superintendent John Emeny said the 30-year-old victim and his partner and 4-month-old baby had been out to dinner when they returned to their Alawa unit about 8.45pm.
"They noticed the rear screen door to their unit was open," he said.
"At this time the victim was walking along a pathway behind a unit carrying his child when he was confronted by a male offender."
The father was able to put his baby on the ground before a struggle took place with the offender and a second man.
"The victim was stabbed numerous times in the back and side with a bladed weapon before both offenders ran from the scene," he said.
The man was taken to Royal Darwin Hospital, where he remains in a critical condition in intensive care.
Duty Superintendent Emeny said police were later notified of two youths with injuries in Jingili.
"These 16-year-old youths matched the descriptions of the offenders from the assault and they are presently in custody in the Darwin watch house," he said.
Police are appealing for anyone who noticed suspicious behaviour in the Alawa and Jingili areas to contact them.
"This was a particularly nasty incident and it resulted in some quite horrific injuries to the victim," Duty Superintendent Emeny said.

When I was ten I once found myself walking with my brother on a Lake Michigan beach when we came upon a half-empty bottle of beer. Curious, I picked it up and looked inside at the swirling dark liquid. Then, impulsively, I took a sip. It was hot, having baked in the sun for who knows how many hours or days, and tasted awful.
I never took another drink of alcohol again. The reason for this isn't because I found that first sip so revolting (though I did). It's for the same reason my wife hates to have her blood drawn—that is to say, not because the needle hurts (she's voluntarily taken on exponentially more pain throughout her life, most recently when she climbed Mt. Rainier)—but rather because the idea of a needle being inserted into her vein is so utterly revolting to her.
Though I have no problem having my blood drawn, the idea of having my mind influenced by a drug fills me with the same sense of revulsion that she feels when she thinks about a needle puncturing her skin and sliding into a vein. The origin of these feelings? I honestly don't know. Perhaps they relate to a pathological fear of loss of control. Or perhaps to a subconscious sense of moral superiority that remaining always in control of my faculties gives me. (I feel no conscious moral outrage toward drinking or drinkers—at least, none toward those who drink responsibly.) But when you combine an emotional aversion to feeling even tipsy with the fact that the ability to enjoy the taste of alcohol must, in general, be acquired, what you get—at least, in my case—is a lifelong teetotaler.
Abstaining from alcohol hasn't always been easy. Especially in college, there was frequently subtle and even occasionally intense and direct pressure to drink. My not drinking separated me from my peers in a way I found frankly—though in retrospect naively—bewildering: I wasn't just left out of drinking games but also of other kinds of fun they would have. It hurt sometimes to be excluded—but never so much that I ever decided to join them in drinking. I often found myself wondering if my friends felt that my not drinking was my way of rebuking them for drinking to excess. And though I have to confess I never admired anyone for drinking so much that they threw up or couldn't remember what they'd done the night before, I never once criticized anyone for it.
Being excluded from a group because of choices you've made, what you believe, or what you are is painful, to say the least. But it can also make you strong. It forces you to define your boundaries. To know why they exist. To practice defending them. To practice paying attention to your own voice amid the often deafening cacophony of the voices of those around you.
And it does one thing more: it makes you more empathetic. This, by helping you to appreciate the struggles of those others who also don't fit, who find themselves trying to find their own community. Being excluded because of the choices you make can even make you empathetic to the suffering of those who most stringently seek to ostracize you. In sum, being excluded makes it far more likely you'll be able to live according to Plato's admonition to "be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." For few things, I've found, make us as kind as needing a little kindness ourselves.

The opportunity is there every week. Some players seize it. Others let it slide away. Here's a look at the players (and coaches) who shined or slipped in Week 8:
Stock Up
1. USC QB Mark Sanchez
This former super recruit lived up to his hype during USC's blowout of Notre Dame on Saturday. In his second start for the injured John David Booty, Sanchez completed 21 of 38 passes for 235 yards with four touchdowns and zero interceptions. He displayed a strong arm and good field vision in spreading the ball around to eight different receivers. He also showed more mobility to create positive yardage once the initial play broke down.
Don't automatically "insert disclaimer" because his success came against a one-win Notre Dame team, either. The Irish's pass defense is better than people think. It ranks 39th nationally in pass efficiency defense and, comparatively speaking, it held Heisman candidate QB Matt Ryan (Boston College) in check. In addition to picking him off once, Notre Dame's defense is the only one that prevented Ryan from reaching the 300-yard passing plateau when attempting 35-plus passes -- and Ryan attempted 49 in that contest.
Sure, Sanchez still has much to prove. However, his showing in South Bend certainly gives Pete Carroll and his staff something to mull over when Booty is healthy enough to return.

Local government & public sector approved supplier
Services for Local Government
We are the contracted supplier to 14 Local Authorities. Working with Local Government is part of our DNA.
We're a Crown Commercial Service (CCS) approved supplier, enabling the UK public sector, including Local Government, Health, Devolved Administrations, Education and Not for Profit organisations to make substantial savings by using any of a number procurement routes to buy our services.
Benefits of working with CDS
All Local Authorities face the challenges posed by decreasing budgets. Reducing cost is an imperative. Channel shift from print to digital offers significant cost savings, efficiency improvements and more flexible and timely service delivery. However just switching off print and transitioning communications to digital is a very crude approach and risks alienating or excluding your audience
At CDS we have developed tools and strategies to guide cost saving activities while protecting services. We have over 20 years of experience working with large public sector organisations and we gave been the contracted supplier to several of the Local Authorities below for more than 10 years.
Case Study: Birmingham City Council
CDS transforms Birmingham City Council's print approach
Birmingham City Council, one of the UK's largest local authorities, required a fully managed end-to-end print service which would deliver minimum guaranteed savings of 15%.
Reasons to contact us
We're contacted daily by government organisations for a variety of reasons, out-with current projects, contracts and work.
Typical questions and answers include:
Q: I'm unsure of the best procurement route and need services quickly without the cost and time involved in going through a full OJEU tendering process. How can I procure your services?
A: We're on a number of approved Government Framework contracts and we'll help you find the most appropriate route.
Q: Technology and solutions change quickly. I think we want X solution and need to go out to tender but we're in the early stages and need advice as to whether X really is the best solution.
A: We are more than happy to provide advice and consultancy in the appropriate circumstances.
Q: We have a: digital / Business Intelligence / communications / branding / marketing / document management / application development etc project and our team needs expert support.
A: Our experts would be delighted to take your call and discuss your requirements. Our sales and account management team take a consultative approach and our aim is to help you succeed and ensure we deliver a better service to your customers.
I felt from the outset that CDS was used to working with 'people like us' in the public sector. They have brought new ideas to the table on how we can save money by standardising as much as possible and cutting down on bespoke printing. I have come to view them as a useful virtual addition to our in-house team with expertise I can quickly call on when a new challenge emerges.
Dawn Wise, Head of Communications
Birmingham City Council
Case Study: Sutton Council
Print management framework delivers 46% saving for Sutton Council
The London Borough of Sutton had a long-standing print and mail arrangement in place for Revenues and Benefits. CDS was invited to manage a mini-tender, competitive process, focussed on the ongoing provision of this service.
The new rates delivered through the cost review process demonstrated an overall saving of 46% against previous rates.
Customers and Portfolio
We work with a variety of clients within a wide range of sectors.

Studies have shown it's natural and healthy for males to have recurring fantasies. But still, the ones dancing around in Michael Dell's head may be pushing things.
To hear Michael tell the tale, life is sweet. All this talk of a post-PC world doesn't phase him. Quite the contrary. With HP leaving the PC business, his eyes light up at the idea of gaining PC market share. So it goes in his recent comments to Financial Times.
Only a few problems with Michael's logic.
First is the fact that HP decided to get out of PCs for good reason. Even though they sell more PCs than any company on earth, HP believes the smartest thing they can do is abandon ship. That's because (a) PC profit margins are microscopic, and (b) it's only going to get worse as PCs continue their descent.
Second, it's hard to deny that demand for PCs is fading. Not only have the prognosticators lowered their global sales estimates, so has Michael's own company. It was just one month ago that Dell cut its sales forecasts for PCs, citing "weakening consumer demand" and other causes.
Third, Michael was publicly downplaying his PC sales as recently as April, making sure we were all aware that Dell was now more focused on the enterprise, with PCs only representing one third of their business. The most positive thing he could say about PCs was that Dell made a "modest profit" on them. "I'm just level-setting what Dell is today," he said.
He speaks optimistically of Dell's prospects in tablets too—despite the fact that the 5-inch Streak is dead and the 7-inch model is languishing at best. For some reason, Michael's fantasy here is that things will somehow be different when and if the tablet competition heats up. In fact, Dell will be one of dozens of tablet-makers all sharing the same OS, slugging it out for a sliver of the market.
"We are very distinct from our competitors," says Michael in that Financial Times interview. Hard to argue with that.
At least IBM and HP stopped having those PC fantasies.

Hello! The Strasbourg Christmas markets' opening day for 2015 is listed as Friday, November 27th. I can't find the actual hours of operation of the markets anywhere. Does anyone know what TIME the markets will be open for business on opening day? Do they open in the morning or is there some sort of big ceremony to officially open the markets in the evening? Thanks for your help!
I'm currently staying in Strasbourg and I'd like to go to the Outlets in Metzingen to profit from the summer sales. I don't have a car though so I'd like to know which is the best way to get there for like a day and then come back.
With a quick google search I found this company () that seems to do something similar to what I want but I don't know if people can advise me, or tell me if they know this Shopping Shuttle
As you walk towards Little France ( from ? NW) and just before the half timbered houses begin there is a vegetarian olde worlde cafe. There were pictures of some famous writers on the wall of the stairway leading to an upper floor. Apparently some rich benefactor had put forward money for a writers club to have its meetings there. I think this was in the 1800s or early 1900s but could be earlier. I can't remember the name of the place or the full history. Anyone help?
Can anybody provide me info on working hours of Église Saint-Pierre-le-Vieux or Church of Saint Peter the Old in Strasbpurg? Thank you in advance. Oleg
We'll be in Strasbourg early May for about two days and would like really like to take the time to explore the city and experience the local cuisine! Which restaurants would be great for us to visit, and what meals/drinks should be tried while in Strasbourg?
My wife and I will be spending the month of September, 2015 in Strasbourg, France. Can someone please supply me with information on a day-long/part-of-a-day cooking class in Strasbourg specializing in French or Alsatian food. Thanks in advance.
I was just in Strasbourg last week at the Christmas markets. I purchased some items at the Cathedral Market at a vendor right by the tourist information shop. I want more from this vendor, but she didn't speak English and I paid with cash. Have tried the Strasbourg tourist dept and got no where.
Does anyone have any ideas or know of a shopper for hire (in the US, we would call them personal shoppers) ? thanks
Could someone please recommend a medium priced restaurant that could accommodate 26 people (24 are college students) for dinner. Thanks.

Hi there,
i am going to live in Strasbourg for a while as a foreign student. I would like to know which is the best and safer neighborhood to live there.
thanks a lot!
We arrive in Strasbourg by train at 11am on a Tuesday from spending 8 nights in Paris. First time visitors to France. We wont have a car. What can we see and do in 2 days in early August in Strasbourg? Are there 1 day cruises up the Rhine? Can we cross into Germany easily by bus to a quaint little town, or would you say that Strasbourg is very similar to boarder towns - maybe even prettier? We will of course walk around Le Petitte France and take a water cruise around the island.
The day we leave Strasbourg, we pick up a car and drive to Colmar for 3 nights. What can we see and do along the way to Colmar ?
I am quite often in Strasbourg and found last year this shop that sells Sirop Monin. I can't remember where it was but would like to go in a few days and buy some more.
Perhaps it is from the cathedral walking across the tramway in direction of Grand' Rue. Somewhere there in one of those narow streets.
What's the best way to get from Basel river cruise port to the center of Strasbourg? How much might cost a taxi?
Thank you.
There is a plaque dedicating something to the memory of American soldiers who helped free France. What is it dedicating?
How do I get a brochure for all my information that I may need for the Batorama boat tour?
Will the shops and restaurants be closed on the 1st May, 2014 public holiday?
Hi everyone!
I'm going to visit Strasbourg in the end of March and, for sure, I intend to see some attractions there. One of the most attractive places I want to see is Mont St.-Odille, but there is a trouble. I found out that there is no direct bus(or any kind of transport) from Strasbourg to St.-Odille in this period. The closest point the bus 257 goes to is Ottrott, but there is still few kilometres to go on foot. It seems inconvenient.
Is there any better way to get to Mont St.Odille without long walking on foot?
Hello i would like to inform me if there is any sop with nig size shoes.bigger than 46 europe size..Thanks a lot!
Will be visiting Strasbourg at the end of December. Was wondering if it is viable to cycle, considering the weather? Would particularly like to cycle along the Canal du Rhône au Rhin. Any advice?
If it is doable, any suggestions on where I can rent a bicycle. Will be staying close to the station.
I would like to hire a domestic freezer and a portable air-conditioning unit in August 2014
visiting strasbourg next week and would like to travel to Basel by rail from there, looking for information re same.
Has anyone used a private taxi for airport pick-ups and travel in and around Strasbourg? If so would you share email or telephone details please and of course recommendation. Thank you, Clonmoyle
Hi.I m supposed to visit strasbourg from sep 30 to oct 3.what could be the best plan to see the most possible during such a short stay?
We are coming to Rally France and want help with transport to rally stages. Ideally if we could find someone who was interested in rallying and could be our private taxi for 3 days from Oct 4th - 6th at a reasonable rate. We 3 will be in Strasbourg for a week from Oct 1st. Possibly some local coach company might be doing minibus trips to various stages.
where can i buy a new cheap tv set?
What is the best transport from Strasbourg to Munchen? Any BUS suggestions...or cheap train? And also, from Ljubljana to Strasbourg... Any idea? Thanx
I will be visiting Strasbourg at the end of June. Can you recommend a shop where I can buy fabric by the metre?
Hi, I will be heading to either Colmar or Strasbourg on the 30th of Dec from Munich and spending two nights there. I will be going to Paris on the 1st of Jan. Would it be possible to visit both Strasbourg and Colmar in this time. For example, could I base myself in Strasbourg but also add a visit to Colmar since it's a short train ride? Or would I be better off choosing one over the other? I know that I won't be able to see everything I want in such a short amount of time, but I am having great difficulty deciding which place to go!
I'd like to see the Christmas markets and of course the lovely wooden architecture (as the major priorities) and all other sites as a bonus in the short time I will be there. I enjoy good food and taking in the sights. I will be traveling with my partner.
Hi.. We have made arrangements to rent a car for two days while in Strasbourg. We are already planning to take a train to visit Colmar on another day. So my question is: what other towns should we "not miss" within the area? We'd like to catch some of the sites and maybe even stop at a winery for a visit. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.. Tom

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The Kansas City Wizards have announced plans to honor soccer legend Preki prior to the team's final regular season home game on October 8th against the Eastern Conference leading New England Revolution. A presentation will take place on the field just prior to kickoff at 7:00 p.m. CT.
"It is fitting that Preki will end his 26-year playing career in Wizards blue, contributing to a team looking to make its way to the 2005 MLS Cup", said Wizards General Manager Curt Johnson. "I am thrilled that we will be able to honor him Saturday in front of the wonderful fans he has entertained for much of the last decade. I encourage all Wizards fans to be in attendance for this special event."
During the pregame festivities, the Wizards will present Preki with a framed Kansas City Wizards jersey to commemorate his accomplishments with the team. Peter Gansler from adidas® will also be on hand to present Preki with a special gift. Preki's family and youth team, FC Rangers will accompany him on the field prior to the game.
Following the presentations, the Wizards will show a highlight video of Preki's incredible MLS career and will also have a very limited number of commemorative Preki t-shirts, signed by the soccer legend that will be tossed into the crowd throughout the game.
A two-time MLS Most Valuable Player and eight-time MLS All-Star, Preki announced that he will retire at the end of the 2005 season. He will end his 26-year professional career as arguably the best player in Major League Soccer history.
The 42-year-old Preki spent nine of his ten seasons in MLS with the Wizards, playing the 2001 season with the Miami Fusion before returning to Kansas City prior to the 2002 season. Entering the final home game of the season against New England, he has scored 78 career goals (6th all-time) and added 112 assists, just two shy of the MLS record of 114 held by Carlos Valderrama.
Kansas City's regular season home finale against the Revolution will have huge playoff implications for the home team. The Wizards control their own playoff fate, currently holding down the fourth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, leading the 5th place MetroStars by three points. Saturday is also Team Poster Night. Fans entering the stadium will receive a team poster, compliments of Pittcraft Printing. The Wizards will host a postgame autograph session with all players and coaches in the Pavilion at Arrowhead following the game.
Tickets for Preki's final regular season home game at Arrowhead Stadium on October 8th are available by calling Ticketmaster at 816-931-3330 or online at www.kcwizards.com and clicking on "Tickets". Tickets can also be purchased at the Arrowhead Box Office, located at Gate D1 of the stadium, Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:0o p.m. and from 9:00 a.m. to halftime on the day of the game.

I was wondering if you could pray for a friend of mine. He's going through really bad depression right now, and was even seriously contemplating suicide on Thursday. A friend of ours and I have convinced him to stay around, but he's always second guessing that decision, and told me last night he wasn't going to make it home, but thankfully he did. I don't know how to help him, he's in South Carolina and I'm in Washington state, other than to pray for him and talk to him. I was just wondering if you would pray for him as well. I know you don't know me, nor him for that matter, but I read your blog all the time and just feel like the extra prayer would maybe help him a little more. Thank you.

Are you willing to ban Dihydrogen Monoxide?
It's getting into our reservoirs and streams. It can cause excessive vomiting and urination. People have died from too much Dihydrogen Monoxide.
So, are you willing to ban Dihydrogen Monoxide?
A while back, the comedy duo Penn and Teller sent a camera crew to a music festival where people were presented with an opportunity to sign a petition to ban Dihydrogen Monoxide. Hundreds signed their names. It's a good thing that petitions aren't all that effective.
Dihydrogen Monoxide, if you can remember back to your science classes, is water. H2O for short.
The people singed the petition because the name sounded scary. Scary enough to keep them from seeing the facts. Water is good. More than that, water is essential. There is no life without it.
Many christians have their own versions of Dihydrogen Monoxide. The words are similar and they show up in the Bible quite a bit. Many find them scary. Scary enough to keep them from seeing the truth. And the truth is good. More than that, it is essential.
The words are election and predestination.
The concept is that God, before the foundation of the world, chose a people to be his. He didn't do this because he thought that we would make a nice edition to his team. He didn't do it out of need. He didn't do it because he knew that we would one day choose him anyway. He did it out of love. And grace.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will. Ephesians 1:3-5 (ESV)
In short, you didn't find God. He found you. Even before you were born. It was his will, not yours, that gave you new life.
Somewhere deep down, we don't like that. Sure, we sing Amazing Grace but we prefer Amazing Paycheck. We like to think that we brought something to the table. We don't like the idea of being fully indebted to someone. That's why when you go to lunch with a friend and he offers to pay, you always decline. We prefer 50/50 to 100/0.
There is nothing 50/50 about salvation by grace through faith. Sure, you have to have faith but even that is a gift from God.
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 (ESV)
Still we argue. This isn't fair! Why would God choose some and not others for salvation? But we ask the wrong question.
I have a friend who went to another country on a mission trip a few years ago. During his time there he made a connection with a young girl with a dim future. I still remember him talking about her when he came back. He told me that he was going again and bringing her back with him to live with his family.
There were many setbacks. He made trips back over but returned empty-handed. He spent money but saw nothing in return. He sacrificed his time but saw no fruit. But he kept going. He never gave up. Now that girl is living in his house as a part of his family.
How should she respond to my friend's grace and love?
Should she argue that he wasn't being very fair to the rest of the people in her country? Should she accuse him of being cruel to the people that he didn't rescue?
Or should she say something like this?
"Why did you do this for me? I don't deserve this grace and love. It isn't fair! But thank you for showing me grace and love instead of what is fair."
Because of our sin against God, hell is what's fair for us. Adoption into God's family is an example of his love and grace overriding our concept of what's fair. The last thing that anyone should want is God's fairness. We need his grace.
Words and concepts like election and predestination might make you uncomfortable. And none of us, even Paul (Romans 11:33-36), will ever understand everything there is to know about election, grace and love. But we shouldn't let that keep us from seeing the truth.
And this truth is good.
It is essential.
There is no life without it.
You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. John 15:16 (ESV)

Grabbing the emptiesReady to grab empties, two at a time.Here comes the train pulling up the hillHere's a bird's eye so you can see the track layout!The Kellog's Branch is welcome discussion anytime Jason!From the few times I watched them switch Jason, they pull their loads up the hill, stop at Vrooman Ave. pull up to the industrial park, grab the empties on the front of their full loads, back up, push the empties back down the branch, then the pull and push the loaded cars onto the unloading track. The unloading track must be on a hill, since I saw an employee letting the cars move into position while he was riding the hand-break.
Backing up and getting ready to push the empties to a holding spot down hill.
Holding spot
Getting ready to grab the last empty.I have also seen the workers using one of those stakes, can't think of what they are called, placing it under a wheel
and pushing the car little by little.

There's been an ongoing discussion trying to figure out exactly HOW CSX (and Conrail) switched FGI. On the newer map on Gino's page, I spotted the note that says "2 cars @ a time" so I assume that is as simple as it seems; only 2 cars up or down the hill at a time. Does anyone know the sequence of moves once the train gets to FGI? Since there's no runaround, we're stumped as to how they handle switching up there. Does FGI have a trackmobile or some sort of car mover? Do they use a cable type car puller to move cars? Would really love to hear from someone that actually worked this branch after it was cut back to FGI.Thank you,Jason CookNew Haven, IN

ANYONE who knows Sheppie golfer Terry Kotze will appreciate this.
The affable local Home Affairs chief has an uncanny resemblance to former Minister of Finance, Trevor Manuel.
In fact, they look so alike that I had a very embarrassing experience in the Slow Lounge at OR Tambo airport recently.
With bags over shoulder, I walked in and saw a man I recognised enjoying a drink.
I stopped at his table and said: "Hi Terry."
The man looked up and replied: "Sorry, you must be confusing me with someone else. I'm Trevor Manuel."
I was too red-faced to ask him about the current state of the nation.

Vodafone UK offers iPhone 4 on PAYG
Mobile phone operator Vodafone UK has finally started offering Apple's most powerful smartphone, the iPhone 4, on pay-as-you-go deals.
The 16GB iPhone 4 has been priced at £480, while the 32GB model can be had for £570. Customers will be able to save £20 and £30 on the 16GB and 32GB models respectively, as compared with the SIM free versions of the smartphone.
Early adopters will receive full year of data access, capped at 250MB per month, and a full year of BT Openzone Wi-Fi, capped at 1GB per month. The offer will last until November.
The iPhone 4 comes with a 5-megapixel camera with LED Flash, Face Time video calling and a 720p high-definition video camera.
Customer director at Vodafone, Mark Bond, said that they made the iPhone 4 available on pay-as-you-go deal in response to customers' requests.
Apple's iPhone 4 has been dogged by the poor reception problem due to its unique antenna. However, the problem could not make a dent in its popularity. In the first three days following its global launch on June 24 the company sold 1.7 million iPhone 4s.

RALEIGH — Brandon Massey, a Jordan High School football player, was seriously injured during Friday's game at Cardinal Gibbons High School.
According to his father, Robert Massey, Brandon suffered a broken neck during the game and underwent surgery on Saturday.
The official Twitter account of Jordan High School posted a tweet on Saturday evening stating that Brandon's surgery went "OK." A tweet Sunday morning said the Massey family has seen "positive signs" after the surgery.
Witnesses say Brandon Massey, who wears No. 23, went to make a tackle early in the fourth quarter when he went down the ground and didn't move for several minutes. He was immobilized by medical staff on scene and EMS was called. He was transported to the hospital.
Brandon, a sophomore at Jordan, is a 5-foot-10, 172-pound safety and linebacker for the Falcons, according to his profile on Hudl.com.
Robert Massey, the head football coach at Shaw University, said Brandon is surrounded by family and that they are all praying for him. Robert coached in Saturday's home game against Livingstone.
Friday's game was called with 10:57 left in the fourth quarter and with Cardinal Gibbons leading Jordan 42-13.


text: Sober Eyewear Looks and Buying at Silmo Even eyewear appears to be feeling the pinch, with some retailers who attended the Silmo eyewear fair here slashing budgets by nearly 30 percent. By Katya Foreman and Andrew Roberts with contributions from Lacy Strohschein on November 17, 2008 PARIS — Even eyewear, a stalwart of the accessories category, appears to be feeling the pinch, with some retailers who attended the Silmo eyewear fair here slashing budgets by nearly 30 percent. A sobering up of styles underscored the mood at the show, which ended its four-day run on Nov. 2 at the Porte de Versailles. This was evident in a prevalence of retro forms, brushed instead of shiny metal finishes and classic colors and patterns, particularly tortoiseshell and browns. Bling, retailers agreed, is out, replaced by more discreet "stealth wealth" options such as subtle tone-on-tone logos often positioned on temple tips or "aerial" logos along the tops of the arms. Touches of color came in unexpected places, such as on sidepieces or edging a rim. Exceptions included Karl Lagerfeld's attention-grabbing "shield" sunglasses, featuring the designer's moniker splattered in bold type along their arms, among bestsellers at Marchon, along with Pucci's festive retro eyewear designs. "People are responding to color and people are responding to price," said Robert Schienberg, vice president of global communication for Marchon, adding that bridge eyewear collections such as Michael Michael Kors, CK by Calvin Klein Inc. and Coach are benefiting from the financial crunch. "It's difficult right now. Retailers are still after designer brands, but we will see a decrease in price points," said Cheryl Canning, worldwide brand manager for Cachet, a division of L'Amy America. Styles that flatter, notably rounded, "glamour shapes," were booking best, she said. "Every day is a crisis in Lebanon," said Carine Rad, who was shopping for her family's eyewear business there called Shoufahsan. Steering away from the classics, Rad said she was after more artsy, vibrant and colorful designs that are popular in Lebanon. Several retailers cited a palpable slowing of business. "The last two weeks have been a little weird. Things are rough, but it'll come back," said Oleg Rabinovich, co-owner of Artsee Eyewear, a 1,000-square-foot art gallery and eyewear boutique in New York's Meatpacking District. Co-owner Julio Santiago said he plans to open a second store in Miami in November 2010. Having cut her budget by 30 percent, Min Yang, owner of Vuen, a boutique in South Korea, was among several retailers who sensed fewer exhibitors at the event. Eduard Balayan, owner of Russian optical wholesaler Luis-Optica, was disappointed by the weak exhibitor turnout this year, particularly from Italian brands. With Russia starting to feel the effects of the economic downturn, he said he expects a 10 percent decrease in sales this year. Vinay Seksaria, director of Lenseye, which operates nine eyewear stores in Bombay, said Indian retailers were scarce. "We're feeling cautious. India has been hit very badly by the crisis and it's becoming more complicated and expensive to import," Seksaria said. "There are usually around 200 to 300 Indians at this event, this time I believe there are half-a-dozen of us." Alexandre Soulas, an eyewear parts purchaser for Cartier, bemoaned the dearth of suppliers. "Acetate is everywhere, with certain brands introducing carbon frames," he said. Launches at the fair included Delfina Delettrez's collaboration with Alain Mikli; Alyson Magee; Bless, and Italia Independent's new eyewear patent, comprising an interchangeable aluminum optical eyewear and sunglasses line featuring sailboat cable details. Marchon also previewed Jil Sander's new shades at the fair. Retailing at 200 to 300 euros, or $260 to $390 at current exchange, the collection plays on contrasts, juxtaposing shiny and matte surfaces, or block colors with transparency, featuring beveled origami details inspired by the house's ready-to-wear line. Marchon said the collection would officially launch at Mido in Italy in March. The firm also said it has renewed its eyewear license with Fendi for the next five years. "It's a marketplace that will go for natural selection — the weakest links will fall," said Alessandro Lanaro, chief executive officer of New York-based manufacturer Modo. The firm introduced its Phillip Lim optical range at the fair, featuring granny-chic tortoiseshell specs and neo-geek "Eighties' Bill Gates" specs, as well as the techno NetJets sunglasses line featuring techno aviator-style titanium frames with flexible arms, thanks to incisions in their temples. Having just signed a deal with luxury Israeli chain Optica that will distribute the firm's lines in 40 stores, Lanaro, which also opened a concept eyewear shop in New York's NoLIta district in July, was among vendors trumpeting "fantastic forecasts." Several vendors remained upbeat, banking on the view that eyewear, one of the more visible, yet accessibly priced accessories, and a necessity to many, has the upper hand over pricy bags and shoes during financial squeezes. "It's the one accessory many women wear every day," said Philip Roth, buyer for Through the Hayes, a San-Francisco-based eyewear boutique that stocks brands such as All Green, ic Berlin and Bevel. "In California, we usually get a ripple effect — you would think it's tanking, but we're doing great."

On February 13, 2015, the U.S. State Department issued new regulations regarding goods and services eligible for export from Cuba to the United States. The new regulations open a new chapter in U.S.–Cuba trade relations that will support the rise of private economic activity on the island. For the first time in 50+ years, Cuban entrepreneurs in the nascent private sector will be able to sell products and services to American businesses. While important elements of the embargo remain intact, the decision to allow imports from Cuban entrepreneurs is another major departure from past policies of isolation and toward a new era of engagement and normalization. There is great potential for these changes to generate new markets for Cuba's self-employed workers and small business owners. The ultimate impact will depend on whether the Cuban government will allow Cuba's private sector to take advantage of the huge new market opening these policies create.
Learn more about the impact of the new regulations by reading the following articles:
AP/ABC News: "US allows imports of privately produced products from Cuba"
Politico: "U.S. cracks open door for some Cuban imports"
Miami Herald: "U.S. releases rules for imports from Cuba"
Reuters: "U.S. eases restrictions on imports from private Cubans"

The last time I wrote a personal blog post the feedback I received was so overwhelming, it's the most proud I have ever felt of my work. Not because my mum told me it was great (which she did, thanks Ma) but because I realised I had tackled an issue that so many of you had been trying to deal with, or it was something that loads of you didn't realise you had been looking for until you read it and found that you needed to apply some of my tips to your own lives and situations.
So I am sitting down again today to discuss something that I have struggled with for so many years and some of the ways I have learned to love myself, 'warts and all' as the common saying goes. This post isn't about me now thinking that I'm the bees knees and absolute perfection - trust me I absolutely do not think that. It's about accepting certain things that I have tried to hide or alter and how I have learned that I am me and that is OK.
This sounds like such an obvious one but you would be surprised how often we do this without even realising. In todays social media obsessed world, there seems to be some sort of warped competition as to who has the most exciting or interesting life. Everyday I scroll on Instagram to find photos of people on idyllic beaches, or at the cool hang out spots or wearing the most amazing clothes - and I am constantly saying to myself 'why aren't I there' or 'I could never look as cool as that'. STOP RIGHT THERE! You are you and they are them. I found myself comparing my life to others so much that I lost my identity and who I wanted to be because I was so interested in doing what other people were doing and how I could make my life like theirs. First of all, one photos does not show someones life. It is so important to remember that. One photo (most probably a highly edited photo) shows one snapshot of someones life that may well have been carefully thought out and planned and then edited to the nth degree and not actually realistic to what that persons life is like in reality.
If you are one of those people who has always known who and what they want to be, then you are incredibly lucky. Most of us will go through that 'trying to figure myself out' phase and that is totally OK. I have experimented with my style, hobbies, foods and interests all throughout my life and have finally discovered the person I feel I am most comfortable being. However, without trying those other things I would never have been able to 'find myself'. Motivate yourself to try out new things and you might be pleasantly surprised. There is no right or wrong way to be the person that you want to be - you just need to have the patience to work it out so that you can go through life being happy, confident and feel free.
This is probably the hardest part in learning to love yourself. We all have flaws, things that we don't particularly love about ourselves and would like to alter if we could. For me it was my hair, I have never dealt with my curly hair too well. Yes it looks pretty in pictures but as I told you in the first step of this process, a photo is just one shot. Actually living and dealing with my curly hair in day to day life is a nightmare. So I decide to straighten it out. Not permanently, just as an alternative to having to wear it curly and feeling a little frustrated with it. I can accept that I won't ever have the type of hair that I look at on other girls and lust over, but that's OK. Because I have learned to deal with it and found ways around it that enable me to be happy an confident in myself whilst still having curly hair (which really is quite a pain - you fellow curly haired girls will understand me!)
I wish I could be a little person on your shoulder to scream this in your ear when you're having those days where you literally tear yourself apart for not being exactly who or what you want to be. I have spent so long in the past almost being angry at myself for not having myself figured out yet, but there isn't a time limit on finding out who you want to be. You MUST have motivation, yes. But you don't have to have everything figured out just because you're an adult or a young adult in society. I know some people in the 30's and 40's that still have times when they are learning about themselves - and that is totally acceptable. As long as you are on some sort of journey to find it then that is what matters. Stop beating yourself up about things and just let whatever happens happen. If you allow this to happen you will in turn love yourself and enjoy the process of living and growing up so much more.
Has this helped you? Let me know your thoughts below as I love reading what you guys have to say in response to my posts - especially when they're more personal like this one. Have you tried this and still feel a bit 'bleurgh'? Or do you have other tips and pieces of advice that you think someone else could benefit from? Thanks for reading and being part of my journey in learning to love myself.

A dingo can be a dangerous animal and Lindy Chamberlain has known this for 30 years. In 1980, Chamberlain was camping in the Australian outback with her husband and nine-week-old daughter, Azaria. While Lindy was cooking dinner, a dingo allegedly snuck into the family tent and stole the baby from her bed. "Upon seeing Azaria's empty bassinet, Lindy screamed, "The dingo's got my baby!" — a line made famous by the Meryl Streep movie, "A Cry in the Dark," based on the case," NPR reports.
Since then, the Chamberlain's have been fighting the courts, and the public, to convince them that a wild dog was the reason for their daughter's death. New evidence has caused an Australian coroner to open a fourth inquest to prove that the Chamberlains have not been lying.
The day the dingo attack happened, NPR reports that even though "fellow campers told police they heard a low growl followed by a baby's cry," it was ruled unlikely that a dingo would have been strong enough to carry a baby out of a tent. Because of that ruling, Lindy Chamberlain was sentenced to life in prison as it was believed that she was responsible for her daughter's death. Her sentence was overturned three years later when Azaria's jacket was found near a dingo den. "Since then, the Chamberlains have gathered new evidence of around a dozen dingo attacks on children, three of them fatal, said their lawyer, Stuart Tipple," NPR reports. Further evidence supports the Chamberlains innocence; dingo prints were found outside of the tent from where the child was taken and there were spots of blood on the baby's bedding.
Because Azaria's body has never been found, her cause of death has been undetermined and her parents are hoping that with this new evidence, the courts will officially declare she was killed by a dingo, rather than by her mother.
"It gives me hope that this time Australians will finally be warned and realizes that dingoes are dangerous animals," Lindy Chamberlain said according to SunSentinel, "and I hope that this will give a final finding which closes the inquest into my daughter's death, which so far has been standing open and unfinished."

To the Editor:
Re "Fliers to Be Kept Waiting for Shorter Lines, T.S.A. Says" (news article, May 26):
The reason for the long lines at our airports is obvious. The Transportation Security Administration is reportedly losing over 100 employees a week and has to replace them to stay at the present employment level, plus add additional employees to handle the long lines at check-in.
The solution is simple: Find out why employees are leaving T.S.A. and fix it. Is it working conditions or compensation, or are many of these employees fired for cause? The root of the problem is employee turnover and employee retention. Fix it and you reduce the long lines at check-in.
Silver Spring, Md.
To the Editor:
I have pre-check and fly once or twice a month. My last two Transportation Security Administration experiences make me question why I spent the $85 for what was supposed to be a speedier check-in process.
Last month, the pre-check line was suddenly closed by T.S.A. agents. When a fellow traveler politely asked why, the agent responded, "It's on a need-to-know basis and you don't need to know."
Last week, a pre-check line was again suddenly closed. An agent told me that despite the closing, I was still considered pre-check. When I asked how this was considered pre-check if I had to remove my computer and toiletries, he replied, "But you get to keep your shoes on." I was wearing sandals.
