Roto Grip Defiant Bowling Ball
The Roto Grip Defiant bowling ball is available at our site and is another fine addition to the Royal Line of Roto Grip bowling ball products. Roto Grip has been a leading brand in the bowling industry for years and continues to provide pro performance lines of bowling balls. The Roto Grip Defiant bowling ball is the latest release in a strong and controllable reacting ball by Roto Grip and is available for a great price, with free shipping, with free insurance and with absolutely no hidden charges at bowlingball.com.
Let's look at some technical specifications for the Defiant bowling ball provided courtesy of Roto Grip, Inc.:
Coverstock MicroBite™ Solid Reactive
Weight Block Paragon™ Core
Ball Color Blue/Purple/Black
Ball Finish 3000-grit Abralon®
Durometer 73-75 Rex D-scale
Flare Potential 7+ (High)
Weights 12 - 16 lbs.
RG: 2.49 Low
Differential: 0.052 High
Starting at the the new Paragon™ core, the Defiant features contours designed to help expand the RG planes of the ball. This unique elliptical shape defines predictability of axis migration and allows you to perfectly match up your ball reaction to the condition at hand. Strong midlane roll and a HUGE continuous, sweeping hook on the backend!
Moving on to the shell, the Defiant has developed a new MicroBite™ coverstock that is stronger and more textured than the competition. Microtechnology, the use of extremely-small structured additives down to a millionth of a meter, makes this possible. When finished with 3000-grit Abralon®, this new MicroBite shell creates a high degree of friction.
The Defiant is sure to handle even the heaviest amounts of oil. Today's lane oils have more solids than ever before, making the lanes very slick at times. With the new Defiant, no more worrying about heavy oil often found on tournament shots.
bowlingball.com has become the No. 1 "e-tailer" of choice for bowling equipment by the consumers of America. Ordering is an easy process by following simple online instructions. Thanks for visiting.

On our 15-night Silver Cloud Baltic cruise, three nights were formal, five were casual, and seven were informal. On formal nights, many of the men wore tuxedos, with the rest in dark suits. Women wore evening gowns, cocktail dresses, or elegant pantsuits. Men wore jackets on informal nights, but many did not wear a tie. Women usually wore "country club" wear on informal nights--dresses or pant suits. Casual nights the men wear sport shirts and slacks, and the women wear pants or skirts. You will not find any shorts or baseball caps in The Restaurant on the Silver Cloud! Passengers who do not want to dress up for meals can order lunch and dinner selections during regular dining hours from The Restaurant menu.
Let's take a look at the Silversea Silver Cloud dining and cuisine.

Bush to nominate management deputy
- By Jason Peckenpaugh
- April 17, 2002
- Leave a comment
As the deputy director for management, Everson would direct the Bush management agenda, including the five governmentwide initiatives and the "Freedom to Manage" legislation now before the Senate. A White House announcement on the nomination was expected late Wednesday. The position requires Senate confirmation.
Everson has already assumed some of the management deputy duties in recent months, chairing the President's Management Council and leading development of OMB's traffic-light scorecard to rate agency progress on the overall management agenda. Nominating Everson as the management deputy should give these efforts a higher profile on Capitol Hill and around federal agencies.
Paul Light, director of the Brookings Institution's governmental studies program, praised Everson while chiding the White House for taking so long to pick a top management official. "I think very highly of Everson. Although I don't agree with the red light/green light scoring system, he's smart, articulate, and deeply committed to performance management," he said. "I'd also add that the administration gets a bright red light on taking 15 months to find someone for the post."
Last year, then OMB deputy director and current NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe handled management chores before handing over some responsibilities to Everson. National Academy of Public Administration President Robert O'Neill also helped develop the Bush management agenda as a temporary counselor at OMB last summer.

It was a good year for selling houses in Hunt County during 2012, when compared to 2011.
A year end report from North Texas Real Estate Information Systems indicated that the numbers of new listings, closed sales and sales prices all increased between Dec. and Dec. 2012.
Sellers were getting a little bit more of their asking price, and it took less time to sell a home.
The report from the agency, which provides information management services to more than 23,000 Multiple Listing Services subscribers, including more than 5,000 real estate offices in North Texas, was released Thursday.
The median sales price of a new home in Hunt County as of the end of 2012 was listed at $95,950, reflecting a 12.9 percent increase from the end of 2011. The average sales price of a home in the county was reported to be $113,224, an increase of 6 percent from the figures from one year earlier.
Home sellers received 90 percent of their original asking price, up two-tenths of one percent, while there were 738 closed sales reported as of the end of 2012, an increase of 12.7 percent through the same point in 2011.
There were 1,355 new listings as of the end of last year, an increase of 1.5 percent from the same point 12 months earlier.
Homes were on the market in Hunt County for an average of 104 days, down 5.7 percent from the end of 2011.
The complete report is available at www.ntreis.net.

Re "A uniquely American DREAM," Opinion, Sept. 19
The DREAM Act is anything but "a small act of immigration reform." For every illegal immigrant student admitted into a state university system, another U.S. citizen or legal student will be rejected. Illegal immigrant students seeking in-state tuition at public universities aren't responsible for violating our laws, having been brought into this country illegally by their parents. But it's also true that U.S. citizens and legal residents who'll be rejected when illegal aliens are added to the queue are being punished for the actions of illegal immigrant parents.

Authorities say a fire at an assisted living center forced the evacuation of some 200 people, many of them elderly.
One resident of the 10-story Westchester Plaza near downtown Fort Worth was treated for smoke inhalation Sunday. Firefighters arrived at the building about 6:45 a.m. and saw flames coming from the fourth floor.
Residents of the building were forced out into frigid, blustery weather with temperatures in the 30s.
Fire Lt. Carol Jones says the sprinkler system contained the flames to the apartment on the fourth floor where the fire began. The three-alarm fire was brought under control about 7:30 a.m.
Many residents were allowed to return to their apartments, but some were displaced.
A spokeswoman for the Red Cross said the agency provided blankets and other services to residents.

From Thomas Jefferson to Hillary Rodham Clinton, we have had 67 Secretaries of State. Some are names we have seldom heard, while others have been highly prominent. How important were they and how much influence have they had? Historian Bill Haase analyzes their role, looking at the long-term impact. He identifies several really good ones and some that he judges to be ineffective or even bad for US long-term interests. As usual, there should be a good discussion at each session.

I love these boots. Really comfortable and great fit. Super lightweight which is great for hiking and no more foot burn so I can ride longer. Whoever left the above review is obviously a knob.
Sam Burstein
Once I broke them in they got really comfy. They haven't gotten too soft yet which is great. I work park crew so I'm in the boots for extended periods of time working and so far they've held up great to the test. The one change I'd make is some sort of Velcro strap or something to cinch down the top part of the inner boot, because with the velcro on either side it's hard to get it tight. Great boot overall though
Hi, i'm korean. I like snowboarding and 32 boots, haha~.
I have been weared 32 boots for 10 years.
In my opinion, TM-two boots are best in 32 boots.
So i want to pay money right now, but i don't have seaover account.
Really i hope to buy this model but that's impossible.So i sad.
This product is best in snowboard boots.
I love thirtytwo.

Quote:'Traditional f/ratio' is focal length divided by diameter (aperture).
Quote:'Astronomical f/ratio' in essence is diameter (aperture) ONLY.
Quote:Focal length controls the scale of the image circle that is presented at the focal plane to a sensor, DSLR, or CCD.
Quote:Aperture area (optical power) controls the brightness of stellar point source, independent of focal length.
Quote:1. F-ratio principles are grounded in lens objective speed; how do they translate to reflective/compound optics?
Quote:2. F-ratio principles are grounded in varying aperture, should they even be applied (or referred to as being the same) to fixed aperture systems (scopes).
Quote:3. While brightness of stellar point source is independent of focal length (of lens objective), condensing the photons to a smaller unit area of a sensor with devices like HyperStar may reduce exposure times and/or produce bright images in comparison; is that bending the principles of astronomical f-ratio or an illusion of photons per unit area of a sensor?
Quote:Exactly as would comparing a 50mm f/2 lens to a 50mm f/4 lens for daylight photography.
Quote:Quote:Exactly as would comparing a 50mm f/2 lens to a 50mm f/4 lens for daylight photography. A 50mm f/2 lens produces a brighter image because it has a larger aperture than a 50mm f/4 lens - not the same as hyperstar (although apologies beforehand if that was the point you were trying to make..)
Quote:I am curious to know how image circle [in mm] can be calculated from following three data points? Note: I am interested in actual math of it if it can be done. ThxAperture (D)=106mmFocal length (F)=530mmFocal ratio=f/5

BURBANK, Calif. (KABC) -- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has proposed shortening the school year by five days to help lessen the state's budget deficit.
Nearly 40 percent of the state's budget goes to education. The governor says the five-day reduction will save the state more than $1 billion.
The proposal would shrink the school year to 175 days, making California one of the states requiring the fewest number of school days.
Teachers and school districts across the state are opposing the move, saying they already have trouble fitting the state's academic standards into the existing 180-day calendar. They say it would take valuable class time away from students.
"For kids that are struggling to even keep up, I'm not quite sure how we're going to get them to recuperate those five days," said Emerson Elementary School principal Linda Acuff.
"Well I'm a teacher so for me it's not a big deal because I could do stuff at home," said Saundra Benson. "But as far as cutting teacher pay, you know, that's not something I'm for."
"Don't cut the schools, don't cut the schools," said parent Michael Marr.
The proposal also creates an issue with teacher contracts. Teacher pay is written into contracts. If Sacramento cuts a week worth of school funding, local school districts will be forced to renegotiate all the contracts.
Earlier this week, Los Angeles Unified School District officials told 2,300 teachers that they may be laid off because of budget shortfalls.

All hands to the pump for Boxing Day chimney fire in Mullion
3:58pm Thursday 27th December 2012 in Cornwall By Greg Fountain, Ex-Reporter/Photographer
Six firefighters from Mullion resorted to some good old fashioned elbow grease yesterday to put out a chimney fire in a house on Clifden Close.
The crew got the call just after 5.30pm and used a hose, hand-powered stirrup pump and extendable rods to douse the flames in the flue.

Our modern ideas of Scotland were largely shaped by her three most important early writers, Robert Burns, Sir Walter Scott and Robert Louis Stevenson. Even if you don't think you've read their work, you have probably fallen under their influence.
If you've ever, for example, used the expression, "The best laid plans of mice and men..." you're quoting directly from the Burns poem, To a Mouse. Wondered whether your distance Scottish ancestors had a clan tartan? You can thank Sir Walter Scott for that. And as far as Robert Louis Stevenson is concerned, every boy's dream of finding a pirate's hidden treasure map probably stems from his classic tale, Treasure Island.
All the most important landmarks associated with these writers are within a short drive of either Glasgow or Edinburgh. If you are visiting Scotland, you can fit them all in within just a few days.
The Robert Burns Birthplace Museum
In 2009, viewers of Scottish Television voted Robert Burns (known affectionately as Rabbie Burns or Robbie Burns) as the Greatest Scot (note - not the greatest Scots writer or greatest Scots poet, but simply the greatest Scot.)
The son of a poor tenant farmer, born in Alloway, south of the west coast city of Ayr, Burns was educated by his father and by tutors but was basically unschooled. Despite a lack of formal education - or perhaps because of it - Burns words are everywhere. We all sing at least some of the words of Auld Lang Syne every New Year's Eve. Bob Dylan once said the Burn's poem, A Red, Red Rose was the biggest influence on his own verses. And his line, "The best laid schemes o' mice and men gang aft agley", from To a Mouse not only forms the title of the John Steinbeck novel and subsequent film and play, but has become a common expression when things go all keflooey.
In 2010 the National Trust for Scotland opened the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum, incorporating the Alloway cottage where he was born with a shiny new, family-friendly museum. There you can examine some of the most important collections of his work, the pistol he was packing when he worked as a tax collector, a lock of his hair and a variety of child-pleasing interactive exhibits. You can also explore the Burns Memorial Gardens and see the hump-backed Brig o' Doon, over which his hero Tam o'Shanter was forced to flee.
The museum, about 35 miles south of Glasgow (but only about 7 miles from Gatwick's Prestwick Airport) is open year round. Visit the museum website for current opening times and prices, and to find out more. The clever website even has a Parents' Survival Guide.
Sir Walter Scott
Sir Walter Scott, who wrote in the late 18th and early 19th century and was lauded in his lifetime, with an output of more than two dozen novels plus several volumes of long narrative poems and stories.
The Scott Monument in Edinburgh's Princes Street Gardens is the tallest monument to a writer in the world, standing at more than 200 feet. If you are up to climing the 287 step spiral staircases to the top you can enjoy amazing views of the city and the surrounding countryside. Along the way, look for 64 statues of Scott's characters.
Scott's densely written novels fell out of favor and by the mid 20th century were rarely read, except by students. Yet the stories - Ivanhoe, Rob Roy, The Lady of the Lake, the Heart of Midlothian and the Bride of Lammermoor are familiar from films, opera and adaptations. Even our modern notion of the English hero Robin Hood is said to derive from Robin of Locksley, a character in Ivanhoe.
Scott was very taken with the romantic image of the highlander and many believe that our modern concept of traditional "Scottishness" - the wearing of clan tartans, the stag hunts after the Monarch of the Glen and so forth - was actually invented by Sir Walter Scott. Certainly, many of the baronial mansions built in the 19th century were influenced by Scott's home Abbotsford, a fantasy medieval castle filled with baronial arms, stained glass and gothic artwork.
Abbotford, near Melrose, is about half an hour from Edinburgh in the Scottish Borders. It is currenly undergoing extensive renovations and will open to the public again in July 2013. At that time, one wing of the house will be available for overnight stays. Meanwhile, the Abbotsford Visitors Center, with exhibits about the author, a restaurant, a shop and access to many local countryside trails, is open and free. Visit the Abbotsford website to find out more.
Scott is buried in Dryburgh Abbey, one of the great border abbeys of Scotland. On the road between Abbotsford and Dryburgh, stop and admire Scotts View, an expansive view of the Eildon Hills, a strangely shaped row of volcanic plugs. According to the story, Scott's horse was so accustomed to stopping here while Scott admired the view that while pulling the hearse to Scott's funeral, the horse stopped as usual as though giving Scott one last look. Read more about Scott's View in my Great Scenic Drives in Britain.
Robert Louis Stevenson
You probably know that this Edinburgh born writer created Treasure Island, Kidnapped, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and A Child's Garden of Verses. But did you know he is credited with inventing the sleeping bag? Stevenson took a fleece lined bag to sleep in while researching researching Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes about a walking trek in France.
From the age of six until he left for California in 1880 (where he nearly died of malaria and then married an American woman), Stevenson lived at 17 Heriot Row in Edinburgh. The house, now appropriately known as The Stevenson House, is privately owned and operates as a venue for meetings and private events. There are also two rooms - a twin and a double - that can be booked for a bed and breakfast stay. Visit the website to find out about staying.
You can also see what other travelers thought via TripAdvisor, but judging from the reviews I read, very few of the guests seemed to know what an illustrious house they were staying in.

Being Brandon LairdBy
Being an infield prospect in the upper levels of the Yankees' farm system is a tough life these days. You know you're not going to take a job from Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, Robinson Cano, or Mark Teixeira, so the only way you're going to make the show is as an injury replacement, a bench piece, or through a trade. Eduardo Nunez has handled the bench player thing reasonably well, but he has the advantage of being a middle infielder. Corner guys like Brandon Laird aren't so lucky.
The 24-year-old Laird briefly made his big league debut last July before getting an extended stay in September, reaching base seven times (four singles and three walks) in 25 plate appearances. He had a disappointing year with Triple-A Scranton, producing just a .310 wOBA and 16 homers in 489 plate appearances after winning the Double-A Eastern League MVP Award in 2010 (.383 wOBA and 23 homers in 454 plate appearances). Right-handed power (career .189 ISO in the minors) is his offensive calling card, not patience (6.4 BB%). Unless he stops chasing pitcher's pitches, he'll have a hard time tapping into that power at the big league level.
Defensively, Laird has made huge strides since being drafted and is considered a third baseman for the long-term. He's also played plenty of first base, and the Yankees have had him give left field a try over the last 18 months or so. The increased versatility helps his cause, because like I said, serving as a bench player is one of the few ways he'll be able to crack the big league roster in the foreseeable future. With Bill Hall signed and Eric Chavez potentially on his way back, the Yankees don't have any room for Laird at the moment. That's not necessarily a bad thing, he could use some more regular playing time at Triple-A to work on his selectivity.
The Yankees lack impact position player prospects at the Double and Triple-A level, but they do have a fair amount of infield depth with Laird, Ramiro Pena, Corban Joseph, David Adams, and minor league signing Jayson Nix. They have options if someone gets hurt at the big league level, and alternatives if they choose to trade Laird. He's a lesser version of Kevin Kouzmanoff, or at least the Kevin Kouzmanoff that came up through the Indians system a half-decade ago. The Tribe traded that Kouzmanoff with a handful of MLB at-bats to his credit because he was blocked at third by Casey Blake, receiving another blocked prospect in return (Josh Barfield, Jesse's son).
Given Alex Rodriguez's increasingly problematic lack of durability, it certainly makes sense for the Yankees to keep Laird around as insurance. Unlike the Penas and CoJos and Nixes of the world, he can at least hit for some power. Pulling the trigger on a blocked prospect-for-blocked prospect trade isn't a terrible idea either, but those deals aren't exactly easy to come by. Good luck finding a club in need of a third baseman with an outfielder to spare. Laird is stuck in a weird spot because of the players ahead of him on the depth chart, but he's got a few years to go before having to worry about Dante Bichette Jr. or Tyler Austin coming up behind him.

Brandon Laird looks like he borrowed his dad's hat for that picture.
He looks like a 12 year old kid.
I wonder what they're looking at. That picture is hypnotic.
Well, Laird is just looking at the camera. But I think A-Rod is trying to see his reflection in the camera lens.
Last year ST they are wondering if fat Belliard is ever gonna make contact.
They look like the people in the pool in Garden State when Zach Braff is trying to swim.
At the 30 seconds mark. (There's an f-bomb in the first few seconds)
I think Laird may be slower than Swisher. Fwiw.
No one's slower than Swisher. Or do you mean foot speed???
laird as utility backuo 3b? i mean he cnt be worse than chavez. he sucks
I agree 100%. I don't get the facination with Chavez. He can't stay healthy and he sucks when he is healthy. He is nothing more than a sexy name. Let's see what Laird can do, with Bill Hall as insurance.
Except Laird could probably start on another team by next season. Laird is tradebait, to me. Too close to the show to keep around as the 3B of the future, and better off being used to fetch a needed piece, whatever that piece winds up being.
Not to mention that the guy is still something of a prospect. If he can get his feet under him in a second tour of AAA, that'll go a loooong way toward proving that the guy is a For Relz MLB 3B.
If ARod falls off a cliff defensively (which I honestly don't suspect. He's been very good when he plays), Laird might step in for a season or two if we go down the 189 million route for 2014.
Not sure how much trade value Laird has.
I can't imagine he'd get something other than a lateral move as a primary piece. By the time Alex is pried off of 3B, guys like Bichette and Austin may even be in AAA, if they make it that far.
I certainly think they should keep their eyes open to see if a good trade emerges. There is value in having him as a depth piece, though, especially since A-Rod's expected games at 3B have to be like 80-100. I'm not sure the value he returns in a trade would be any greater than that. Maybe if he has a good start in AAA.
"There is value in having him as a depth piece, though, especially since A-Rod's expected games at 3B have to be like 80-100. "
The Ted creepy crawl continues. Now A-Rod's down to 80-100 games at 3rd??? At the rate you're going he'll be more a DH than a 3rd baseman by the start of the season. You started with him needing to DH only 10-15x — then you adjusted up to 20-40x. How many DH games would he have if he could only manage 80 games at 3rd? And how could Montero have possibly fit in with that scheme? You're a buffoon who talks out both sides of his mouth as well as his rear.
Is it just me or have the Yanks been training all of their corner prospects to play both 1B and 3B? Laird and Vazquez come immediately to mind. Will they keep flexibility for Bichete and Austin too? That would be pretty well handled if they could replace both A-Rod and Teixeira from within and by shuffling the right guys into the roles. Look how valuable Youkilis has been.
I think ARod could play first if he had to and Tex could play 3rd. Youk has been needed for both-our guys haven't.
Heck-even Chato Vasquez plays both positions.
I think that the majority of 3B can play 1B as well.
TBH I can't think of anyone that can't.
Them and every other player on the field.
There's a reason teams, especially NL teams, often use it as a DH. And it isn't because its a high skill position.
Which is their loss in my opinion. I think we've seen the value of a stud defensive first baseman since the Tex signing.
Teixeira isn't close to a stud at anything, unless you're referring to his horse face.
Are you trolling or do you just look at offensive statistics? I'm not a Teixeira fanboi but…seriously?
He does have a terrible face. Stop being a homer. Just be honest for once.
3B skills are pretty similar to 1B skills. Arm is less valuable at 1B and footwork is different… but otherwise as corner IF spots they're more similar than other positions.
1B defense is nice to have, but as one of the easier positions to fill defensively it makes sense to park a bat there as much as any position. It would be great to have nothing but freaks like Teixiera, but he's a pretty rare talent. Sometimes you're going to have to sacrifice in one area or another. Of course saving runs on defense is good, but you have to decide whether it's more valuable than the run differential on offense.
Agreed to the n-th degree. That being said, I prefer our set up to parking a second DH out there.
play him in RF this year , if he can handle it and hit like 2010 then he can give a backup plan if swisha leaves
A slower rf'er with a weaker bat. I can only imagine the throwing arm in rf.
The Angels would be an interesting fit, as would the As, and the Phillies. Maybe Laird/Hughes for Dom Brown wouldn't be a terrible deal.
For the Phillies I think that would be a pretty terrible deal…
If I was the Phillies, I'd do Brown for Hughes.
Hughes ceiling>Brown's ceiling
Brown has been terrible at the ML level, at least had a good year as a starter, and half of a year as a reliever. Hughes will have a bounce back year. A big one.
Homer much?
No, just ranking on what Hughes has done at the ML level, and what Domonic Brown hasn't: some form of success.
Dom Brown has 280 career plate appearances at the major league level, while Hughes has provided an ERA+ of 100 in 120 games. I think you can make more of a negative conclusion on Hughes than you can on Brown, and honestly, I'd do a Hughes for Brown trade if I'm the Yankees in a heartbeat.

Micro-loan gives life to tea business
- Written by Arlene Edmonds
- Published in Metros: Northwest
Oliver and Company Tea Room owner Brenda Board has a message for aspiring entrepreneurs. This Northwest Philadelphia business owner insisted that despite the economy and tight financing for small businesses, dare to start a business now. Board knows this first hand because when she conceived her business two decades ago the economy was equally challenging.
Board's tenacity has paid off. Recently, she was among the recipients of a micro-loan through FINATA, a nonprofit community development financial institution. She received her portion of the $322,500 in support loans at a special reception held at the FINATA Center, earlier this month.
"On Oct. 1 we will be hosting a special high tea holiday event to celebrate our 20th anniversary (tentatively) at the Chestnut Hill Hotel," Board said. "We do an A-course French cuisine served at the high tea hour of 5 p.m. in historical properties. We're now going global because I am a world class tea educator."
Six local major banks announced their new collaboration to expand micro-lending to Philadelphia's small businesses. So, Board was among those present as micro-entrepreneur Micah Gold-Markel, owner of Solar States, "flipped the switch" on the 30 kilowatt solar panel installation at the FINATA headquarters recently. The six banks were Bank of America, Citibank, Citizens, PNC, TD Bank and Wells Fargo.
The bank funding supports loan loss reserves, technical assistance service and operating capital. Their contributions help FINATA leverage a $750,000 loan from the Small Business Administration Microloan Program and a $125,000 grant form the City of Philadelphia's Commerce Department.
"The Urban Affairs Coalition is really proud of this initiative," said Sharmain Matlock-Turner, the UAC's president and CEO. "The banks came together through our organization to respond to the needs in the community for more loan capital for micro-entrepreneurs, including minority and immigrant entrepreneurs."
"We are honored to be selected as the initiative's non-profit partner and are eager to build a much larger micro-lending program in Philadelphia," said Luis Mora, president of FINATA. "With funds from the various banks, the Small Business Administration and the City of Philadelphia's Commerce Department, we are able to not only serve under banked or unbanked individuals, but also create jobs for the entire Philadelphia community."
This is good news for business owners like Board.
Though her business doesn't officially have a home base, the monthly events draw sometimes more than 700. From these her company gets orders for various events held throughout the year at an array of venues.
"This goes to show that you can start your dream business now by preparing for the future, because I can tell you that your day will come if you do," Board said.

The Fam and I were sitting down to a wonderful dinner when, little did we know, our dinner was about to become unforgettable! we looked up the most amazing muffin recipe online and tried it out. can you guess what recipe we made? it was this one! the VEGAN AGAVE CORNBREAD MUFFINS!!!!! our worries in this mortal world all melted away with the butter once it hit the muffins! troubles drifted away, hearts were lifted, and lost loves were reunited! we thank you vegan agave cornbread muffin makers. we thank you. you will always be apart of our dinner hour. bless you all. everyone.
FANTASTIC! I used stone ground cornmeal and regular whole wheat flour (not pastry). These took longer than 20 minutes. Used 1% dairy milk - didn't have soy, and did use maple syrup instead of agave. We had to make a second batch right away because we ate the first six muffins so fast!!! I served with Pumpkin Turkey Chili (used morningstar ground beef substitute for turkey) and topped all with reduced fat cheddar cheese. Heaven!!!
These were very good. I hesitated for a minute on the five star rating because they are a little different from a standard corn muffin, but they still deserve 5 stars for their own taste. They are a little sweeter than regular corn muffins but they are the best vegan corn muffins I've made. They are moist and stay that way-other recipes have only been good the day I made them. They also get points for the wheat flour. So I say try them!

Cumberland Times-News
MIDLOTHIAN — On July 7, 2012, Elizabeth Nicole Walker and Christopher James Miller were united in marriage in front of close family and friends. The ceremony took place at the home church of the couple, Trinity Assembly of God in Midlothian. Pastor Rob Culler officiated the double ring ceremony.
The bride is the daughter of Nathan and Laurie Walker. Elizabeth is the granddaughter of George and Linda Walker, Linda Miller and the late Chester Miller and the great-granddaughter of Naomi Savage and Ruth Stanton, all of Western Maryland.
The groom is the son of Jim and Julie Miller. Chris is the grandson of Dave and Gladys Bowman and the late Jim and Theresa Miller of Frostburg.
The bride was given in marriage by her parents and escorted by her father. Elizabeth wore a diamond white gown designed by Maggie Sottero. It was a one-piece, strapless, slim A-line gown with corset closure. This style featured a sweetheart neckline adorned with beaded lace embellishments. The ruched bodice draped asymmetrically at the waist and a beaded motif accented the side front. Her jewelry selection included a pearl necklace and bracelet, courtesy of the bride's maternal grandparents, and coordinating pearl earrings. A complementary ring was also worn, a gift from her paternal great-grandmother. Elizabeth carried a bouquet of white roses accented with jewels and pearls, compliments of Aunt Kayla.
Serving as maid of honor was Kaitlyn Walker, sister of the bride. Bridesmaids included Abbey (Bond) Brodie, friend of the bride, and Shannon Miller, sister of the groom. They wore purple strapless dresses, accented with a black belt and carried white rose bouquets. Kylee Bittner, daughter of Josh Bittner and Natasha Engle, friends of the bride, served as flower girl.

THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY has selected a parliamentary candidate who believes that the European Union is a Papist plot to undermine Britain's Protestant identity.
Adrian Hilton, the new Tory candidate for Slough, believes that "a Catholic EU will inevitably result in the subjugation of Britain's Protestant ethos to Roman Catholic social, political and religious teaching".
He also claims that Catholics regard the Pope as "supreme ruler of the world".
Mr Hilton, a 41-year-old teacher adopted by the Berkshire constituency association two weeks ago, is strongly opposed to repealing the Act of Settlement, which forbids monarchs from becoming or marrying a Catholic .
"Such an amendment would eventually create an exclusively Catholic royal dynasty, whose primary allegiance would be to the higher spiritual and temporal authority – the Papacy," he wrote in The Spectator magazine in 2003.
Mr Hilton has already been denounced as a "conspiracy theorist" by a spokesman for Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor.
Austen Ivereigh, the Cardinal's chief spokesman, compared the would-be MP's opinions to those held by Protestant bigots and farright nationalists.
"These views are bizarrely unhistorical and fundamen tally erroneous," he said.
"His case rests on an assumption that the English nation came into being only after the Reformation," he said.
"This is entirely false. The English nation pre-dates the Reformation." Mr Hilton's opinions have shocked Catholic Spectator readers.
Sean Armstrong, a Catholic economic consultant who has complained to Michael Howard about Mr Hilton, said: "It is not the individual particularly but the strand of opinion that he represents that I object to.
"A sectarian candidate of his divisiveness is precisely what the Conservative Party does not need if it is to shake off its 'nasty' reputation. Hilton's candidature can only strengthen such allegations and bring the party into disrepute." Senior Catholic commentators are bemused by Mr Hilton's assertions. They argue that, far from being a Papist plot, the EU seems to be moving away from its Catholic roots and becoming an anti-religious institution.
Mr Hilton this week defended his views. "The article was published in 2003, and two years later things have been taken totally out of context, making me sound like an extremist,' he said.
"My concerns in this arti cle were constitutional, not doctrinal. It was about an unaccountable, bureaucratic philosophy of government in the EU.
"A Protestant view of history is every bit as valid as the Cardinal Archbishop's. In this day and age, if one expresses an Islamic perspective it has to be accepted, if one expresses a Roman Catholic perspective it has to be accepted – and yet an assertion of the constitutional position of the Queen and Parliament with regards to Protestantism is greeted with derision." Mr Hilton was selected as the Conservative candidate for Slough after the tabloid press published photographs of his predecessor, Robert Oulds, showing off his gun collection.
The new prospective candidate is single and lives in Beaconsfield, Bucks. He is the head of politics and philosophy at Slough Grammar School.
His website boasts that his writings – many of them critical of the Catholic Church – "have placed me on a national speaking circuit with many high-profile engagements, including Oxford and Cambridge universities and invitations to address political 'support clubs' ".
He holds the world record for the fastest recitation of the complete works of Shakespeare. He has a degree in theology. "My favourite drink is water," he reveals.
Mr Hilton's supporters include Spectator editor Boris Johnson, who describes him as a "highly talented man who promises to be an exceptional spokesman for Conservative principles".
Thriller writer Frederick Forsyth says he is "very sound on all the principal attitudes that mark out a British Conservative".
Mr Hilton's opponent in the general election will be Home Office minister Fiona Mactaggart, the MP for Slough. Her majority is 12,508 votes. She was unavailable for comment.
However, Labour's deputy campaign co-ordinator, Fraser Kemp, attacked Mr Hilton.
"His offensive opinions would not matter if he were simply a private citizen," he said.
"But he is a candidate of a major political party trying to win a seat the Tories only lost in 1997." The Catholic faithful in Slough are equally unimpressed with Mr Hilton's articles. Monica Sidebotham, a Slough resident, was appalled at what she read.
"If he wants my vote, he will have to come to my house and explain himself," she said.

NEW YORK (AP) - The beauty pageant queen who shot to social media stardom during the BCS championship will be back in front of the cameras ahead of the NFL's title game.
Former Miss Alabama USA Katherine Webb will serve as a correspondent for "Inside Edition" leading up to next month's Super Bowl in New Orleans.
The girlfriend of Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron, Webb became a star when ESPN's cameras lingered on her during the Crimson Tide's rout of Notre Dame on Jan. 7 and announcer Brent Musburger commented on her looks.
Webb calls the temporary job "an honor and a dream come true." She says she'll "give fans an insider's look at what goes on as the teams prepare to battle and as the fans get ready to cheer on their favorites."
The show said Wednesday she'll start work Jan. 28. "Inside Edition" is syndicated by CBS Television Distribution but not part of CBS' coverage of the Super Bowl, which Webb won't be involved with.

When hyperinflation spiraled out of control in Zimbabwe in 2008, huge numbers of citizens flocked across the border to find jobs, and escape food and water shortages.
That economic nightmare came on top of years of decline. While the country still hasn't fully recovered, Zimbabwe is much more stable and economic life is picking up, at least for some.

At the G-8 summit Saturday, French President Francois Hollande said he wanted Greece to stay in the eurozone and expected the country to meet its commitments. In saying so, Hollande identified the difficult debate which has gripped Greece for months now.
Most Greeks want to keep the euro as their currency. Most also want to cancel the eurozone-imposed austerity measures that come with the billions in international bailout loans keeping the country solvent.

Following JP Morgan's disclosure of a $2 billion loss, a small but increasingly vocal group of lawmakers and economists are arguing that a 60-year-old piece if financial legislation should never have been repealed in 1999.
They say the law, known as the Glass-Steagall Act, was so consequential that there's a direct link between its repeal and both the 2008 financial meltdown and JPMorgan's huge loss.

Miller Steps Up, NBA Finals
Instead of warming the bench, Heat forward and former Gator Mike Miller got "heated" up himself. Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra put Miller in the game last night against Oklahoma City Thunder, thinking it would only be for three or four minutes. Those three or four minutes turned to twenty-three minutes when Miller scored a total of twenty-three points. Miller zoned in on the net as soon as he stepped off the bench making seven of eight three pointers, seven of eleven from the field, and currently holds the record for the most three pointers coming off the bench in NBA final history. Miller, who has a history of stepping up at the right moments (recall Miller as a Gator and the buzzer beater against Butler in 2001) was injured for most of this year's NBA finals. However, he did not let the injuries stand in his way; instead, he helped his team make a NBA Championship dream come true.

There are many times where we are faced with requirements to deploy or upgrade a solution and it's needed to be done yesterday. The business demands high availability and has a high expectation for versatility and flexibility in handling changes.
Unfortunately, business demands do not revolve around IT. In the financial sector, we are heavily audited to ensure that all compliancy standards are being met and cannot afford to just throw something onto the network without following our own required standards and due diligence. Also, the finance folks demand operating costs to remain low without, of course, compromising the levels of service. In looking for a solution to your change management challenges, what led you to virtualization?
One of the very first things we had to do is decide if the virtual computing concept was a good fit for our business. The mindset of thinking of a VM (virtual machine) being no different than its physical counterpart may be [counterintuitive] to many who are not used to the concept and/or were not around in the mainframe days.
We built a ROI (return on investment) model, leveraging substantial cost saving analysis on server hardware reduction, standard and secure provisioning in less than minutes versus four-to-six hours, enhanced change management, better service levels and simple [disaster recovery] regardless of the application.
The next phase was to educate the staff on the concepts and technology itself. Once the potential was realized, requirements soon followed. Things that went into the design phase were total redundancy, like better performance of a virtual machine versus physical counterparts, ease of use, centralized management and proven security isolation. After looking at many products, you chose VMware. Why?
With the on demand computing capabilities that VMware provides, we literally can deliver a standards based solution in mere minutes with all needed security configurations and audit requirements already in place. I no longer have to explain to my customers that we are unable to do something they need due to lengthy resource acquisition processes and deployment times. It's really an exceptional feeling. How did the VMware implementation go?
The actual implementation was rather straightforward given the hardened community of existing implementations and experience, as well as product maturity in the field.
We planned very well and worked with the VMware support folks to understand all options and configuration possibilities. Coupled with my previous work with VM technologies, the initial implementation and design was rather straightforward and worked as advertised.
It has been a set and forget solution, which has been great. It leaves my administration staff free to work on real issues [rather than] supporting an infrastructure. Could you describe some ways you put VMware to use?
We use VMware to solve a multitude of issues and continue to find more creative solutions that rely on this multifaceted technology. Unlike traditional products where it is purchased to fit one specific need, VMware is more or less a Swiss Army Knife of technologies.
We use VMware to facilitate our hardware consolidation and help keep our operating expenses low. It is not uncommon to use it to host over 32 independent [Linux and Windows] servers on a single hardware platform while exceeding SLA (service level agreement) goals. Using VMotion technology, not only can we provide literally zero downtime, but have a very simple method of complete disaster recovery when tied into SAN (storage area network) capabilities.
We also use VMware to facilitate change management. With its rollback capabilities, we can literally perform high risk changes and always know that with a simple click of a button, we can revert the entire environment back in seconds. Does VMware have any shortcomings? What features would you put on your wish list for VMware?
We are hoping VMware will take it to the next level by providing real-time predictive failure and automated resumption of key services. This is to say that, in the event of hardware/software failure on a VM host server, there would be the capability to dynamically shift VMs to more stable and solid hosts while the host in question is examined and repaired. We also are looking to VMware to help expand on their current offerings and provide even higher-scaled solutions: quad processors SMP; larger hosts and scalability; and better SAN and DR (disaster recovery) support. Have you explored using other virtualization products and technologies?
We have looked at many other technologies and concepts and will continue to do so. In fact, we also use other competing technologies where we feel they provide a better fit. For example, we use the Microsoft Virtual Server in parallel to our VMware solutions. Virtual Server is used for mostly development purposes given its low costs and ease of use. VMware ESX we found to be much more suited for true enterprise computing, so we have standardized on VMware because of its product maturity, OS flexibility and SAN/blade integration.
Continue on to part 2, where Mike Bedford discusses Linux versus Windows, open source and VMware in development and the ROI of virtualization.

The Threat of the Human Shield Strategy Hamas Uses Extends Beyond Israel, Gaza
Hamas tactics mock international law, write Abraham Cooper and Harold Brackman , and teach extremists.
Palestinian supporters of the Hamas attend a rally in Gaza City.
What if President Obama were presented by CIA Chief Panetta with this "actionable intelligence": Osama bin Laden and company are holed up in a Hitler-style bunker underneath a hospital in Afghanistan occupied by women and children deployed as shields? Would he launch an immediate strike with cruise missiles or hesitate because of the hostages? Would such a move thwart future 9/11's and be viewed as the death knell of al Qaeda? Or would there be a firestorm of international protest from the Arab and Muslim world and beyond that the American response was a "disproportionate" violation of humanitarian international law and even a "war crime"?
Such is the real dilemma currently faced by the Israeli high command, which reportedly has intelligence that exactly locates the shaken Hamas war cabinet in Gaza in a bunker beneath a hospital, where it is shielded by women and children. How should Israel act? Destroy the terrorist high command or do nothing, to avoid being blamed for loss of innocent lives by an international community indifferent to the threats from Hamas rockets targeting Jews from Sderot to Tel Aviv's suburbs?
In the lethal "fog of war," even the most-disciplined, best-intentioned armies errantly kill civilians caught in the crossfire as well as their own soldiers who die from friendly fire. Does anybody remember the thousands of French civilians killed by the Allies during World War II's Normandy Invasion? In their current asymmetrical war with Hamas, the Israeli Defense Forces have used cellphone messages, leaflets, and other measures in the attempt to decouple civilians from military targets placed in their midst by the terrorist organization. The flow of hundreds of trucks laden with foodstuffs and medicine into Gaza from Israel has now been expanded into a daily corridor in order to allow further humanitarian supplies to reach noncombatants, even when that means some military activities are suspended for hours. For its restraint, Israel gets nothing but a global diplomatic and media chorus of boos from those willfully blind to the ultimate outrage against humanitarian international law occurring today in Gaza.
Shields protect honorable combatants in the midst of battle. Human shields are the weapon of cowards who violate every principle of humanitarian international law. As Prof. Louis Rene Beres points out, the use of human shields constitutes "perfidy" under Article 147 of the Geneva Convention IV defining the laws of war. The international criminals who use human shields are hostes humani generis: "common enemies of humankind."
The Gaza conflict is likely to be remembered as a terrible watershed, not because the IDF has unintentionally killed Palestinian civilians but because Hamas has made the use of human shields a primary military strategy. Buoyed by the unforgivable silence of leading international NGOs, Hamas deploys two complementary tactics that mock and debase the humanitarian core of international law: thousands of indiscriminate rocket attacks targeting Israeli civilians and the massive use of Palestinian civilians—including women and children—as human shields.
Why this willful blindness? For some, it is the romanticized image of Hamas, the pitiful underdog David confronting the giant Israeli Goliath. Yet, in truth, Israel is a sovereign member state of the United Nations that has no need to apologize for creating a military strong enough to defend it from multiple regional threats, including Tehran's genocidal promise to "wipe it off the map." Those who dismiss genocidal threats from Iran and Hamas as mere rhetoric should take a closer look at history. As Ron Rosenbaum recently pointed out, the most significant difference between Adolf Hitler's and Hamas's plans to annihilate the Jewish people is that the Nazis hid their full intent until World War II while Hamas has been promising to do exactly this since its founding charter 20 years ago. And while Hamas does not possess the power of an Adolf Hitler, a nuclearized Iran may be positioned to further the fuehrer's vision of a Judenrein world. It is important to remember that the Nazi leader was incapable of perpetrating the Final Solution until he was empowered by the tacit complicity of a world community that retreated from reality rather than confront the rising tide of evil that was Nazism.
