The kiwifruit is an exotic treat that is available year-round in many regions. |
Kiwis are colorful fruits with fuzzy skin and sweet-tasting, creamy flesh. Classified as a berry, they grow on staked creeper vines much like grapes. Eaten fresh, mixed with other exotic fruits, or pureed for smoothies, they're a refreshing and highly nutritional treat.
In its native
Several hundred kiwi species have been identified. Green kiwifruits are readily found in most markets. Gold-fleshed fruits are less common. Both types have fuzzed skins and are pockmarked with a starburst of edible black seeds at the center. They can be found from the size of a grape to that of an egg.
Buying Tips
Select firm fruits and allow them to ripen at room temperature. If the skin gives with slight finger pressure, the fruit may already be sweet enough to eat. To prolong shelf life, refrigerate unripe kiwi for up to one month. Cold, ripe kiwi will stay fresh and firm for about two weeks.
Storage Tips
Kiwifruits will ripen at room temperature in a paper bag and can then be refrigerated. They will grow sweeter, but may ferment if left too long. They freeze well – up to one year – when sugar syrup and ascorbic acid are added.
Usage Tips
• Peel before eating or using in recipes if desired, although the skin is edible.
• The sweetest portion of the fruit is at the center.
• Kiwi is best served fresh, not cooked or baked.
• The fruit contains enzymes (actinidin/bromic acids) that aid in tenderizing meat. Rub a cut half or quarter across the surface. These same enzymes prevent gelatin from setting.
• Once cut, the flesh will soften quickly. Always prepare just before serving.
Substitution Tips
• Strawberries and peaches (add a few lemon or lime drops).
Nutrition Notes
On a per-ounce basis, kiwis are one of the "superfoods." They're packed with potassium and Vitamins C (higher than oranges.)

Heard about this yesterday morning on my drive home and was puzzled to say the least.
Easley, South Carolina is a dump of a town just between Clemson and Greenville. The local funeral home in Easley is adding in a Starbucks.
How weird is this? Imagine you attend a funeral here and you spot Starbucks right outside of the viewing. So you want some coffee and you approach the counter to find a cheery barista eager to take your order. "Hi, welcome to Starbucks. How are you today!"
Is this a funeral home first? One would think so but I'm not sure.

Mario Barwuah Balotelli (Italian pronunciation: [ˈmaːrjo baloˈtɛlli]; born 12 August 1990) is an Italian footballer of Ghanaian descent who plays as a striker for Manchester City and the Italian national team.[4][5] He started his professional football career at Lumezzane and played for the first team twice before having an unsuccessful trial at FC Barcelona,[6] and subsequently joining Internazionale in 2007. Inter manager Roberto Mancini brought Balotelli into the first team, but when Mancini left, Balotelli's disciplinary record fell away. He had a strained relationship with new head coach José Mourinho and was suspended from Inter's first team in January 2009 after a number of disciplinary problems.
His problems deepened in March 2010 when he came under heavy criticism by Inter fans after he appeared on the Italian TV show Striscia la notizia, wearing an A.C. Milan jersey. This damaged the prospect of him having a long career at Inter, but he did make several appearances after that. With doubts over his career at Inter, former coach Roberto Mancini at Manchester City gave Balotelli a fresh chance at a new club. He joined Manchester City in August 2010, where his performances and off-field activities have continued to be controversial and enigmatic. Balotelli earned his first cap for the Italian national team on 10 August 2010, in a friendly match against the Côte d'Ivoire thus making him the first black player to play for the Italian national football team.
Contents |
Mario Balotelli was born in Palermo, Sicily, to Ghanaian immigrants Thomas and Rose Barwuah. The family moved to Bagnolo Mella in the province of Brescia, Lombardy, shortly after he was born.[7] As an infant, he had life-threatening complications with his intestines which led to a series of operations, although his condition had improved by 1992. Mario's health problems and the family's cramped living conditions meant the Barwuahs decided to ask for the help of social services who recommended that he be fostered.[7] In 1993, the Barwuah family agreed to entrust the three-year-old boy to Francesco and Silvia Balotelli,[7] with the legal move formalized by the Court of Brescia.[8] When Mario Balotelli became famous, his biological parents asked for his return. He later accused them of "glory hunting", stating that they only wanted him back because of the prominence he had gained.[9] According to Law 91 of 5 February 1992,[10] Balotelli had to wait until his 18th birthday to request Italian citizenship, as the Balotellis had not adopted him, and he officially gained citizenship on 13 August 2008.[11]
He has three biological siblings, Abigail, Enoch and Angel. [12] Enoch Barwuah, two years his junior, had a trial at English Premier League side Stoke City in December 2011.[13]
Balotelli began his career with Lumezzane. At the age of 15 he was promoted to the first team, making his first team debut in a Serie C1 league match against Padova.[14]
Having had an unsuccessful trial with FC Barcelona at the age of 15,[15] Balotelli was signed by F.C. Internazionale Milano in 2006 on loan with a pre-set price of €150,000 to co-own the player.[16] In June 2007 Inter excised the option and purchased another half for additional €190,000.[16] He made his first team and Serie A debut on 16 December 2007 replacing David Suazo in a 2–0 win against Cagliari.[17] Three days later he featured in the starting lineup in a Coppa Italia match against Reggina, scoring two goals in a 4–1 win.[18] Balotelli gained national attention after he scored two goals against Juventus in the return leg of the Coppa Italia quarter-finals, being instrumental in a 3–2 away win for Inter.[19] His first Serie A goal then came in April 2008 in a 2–0 away win against Atalanta.[20] Inter went on to win the 2007–08 Serie A.[21] Balotelli was a substitute in the 2008 Supercoppa Italiana final against A.S. Roma. He came on as a replacement for Luís Figo, scoring in the 83rd minute. Inter went on to win the final 6–5 on penalties after the match ended 2–2.
In November 2008 he scored his first Champions League goal in a 3–3 draw against Cypriot side Anorthosis Famagusta, becoming the youngest Inter player (at 18 years and 85 days) to score in the Champions League. This beat the previous record set by Obafemi Martins at 18 years and 145 days.[22] In April 2009 Balotelli scored Inter's goal in a 1–1 draw with Juventus and was racially abused by Juventus fans throughout the game, including chants such as "Black Italians do not exist". This led to Massimo Moratti saying that he would have pulled the team off the pitch if he had been present.[23] The racist chants were also condemned by Juventus chairman Giovanni Cobolli Gigli and Juventus were given a one game home-fan ban because of the incident.[24] Inter won Serie A for the fourth time in a row.[25]
In his second season with Inter, Balotelli had a number of disciplinary problems, most notably involving head coach José Mourinho who excluded him from the first team in the second half of January 2009. Earlier that season Mourinho had accused Balotelli of showing a lack of effort in training[26] stating "as far as I'm concerned, a young boy like him cannot allow himself to train less than people like Figo, Córdoba, and Zanetti."[27] Balotelli continued to be the subject of racist chants throughout the season, becoming the focus of Juventus fans even during games not involving Inter, leading to Juventus being fined twice and the club ultimately punished with a partial stadium closure.[28]
Balotelli's disciplinary problems, and his difficult relationship with Mourinho, continued in the 2009–10 season. In November Inter drew 1–1 against Roma and Mourinho criticized his players, even going as far as saying that Balotelli "came close to a zero rating".[29] The young striker again incurred the wrath of Juve (Juventus) fans in the heated Derby d'Italia away encounter with Juventus on 5 December 2009 which Inter lost 2–1. When he was elbowed by Juve midfielder Felipe Melo in the shoulder he fell on the pitch clutching his face and was promptly booked, while Melo was sent off for a second yellow card. The incident sparked a fiery altercation between teammate Thiago Motta and Juve goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon.[30][31] The tension between player and manager reached its peak on the eve of the UEFA Champions League second leg against Chelsea after the young striker was not called-up, following an altercation with Mourinho.[32] Despite Inter's 1–0 win at Stamford Bridge, London, Balotelli was criticized by several senior players including captain Javier Zanetti[33] and veteran defender Marco Materazzi as well as his own agent.[34] In March he came under heavy criticism from fans after he publicly sported an A.C. Milan (Inter's cross-town rivals) jersey on the Italian show Striscia la Notizia.[35]
Balotelli released a statement of apology in Inter Milan's official website that read:
" | "I am sorry for the situation that has been created recently. I am the first person who has suffered because I adore football and I want to play, and now I am waiting in silence so I can return to being useful to my team. I want to put the past behind me, look to the future and concentrate on the upcoming commitments and make myself ready."
Mario Balotelli[36] |
" |
After a spell out of the team, Balotelli was recalled for the match against Bologna and he marked his return with a goal in their 3–0 win.[37] He soon caused controversy again in the Champions League semi-final against Barcelona on 20 April as he threw his jersey on the ground after the final whistle, in response to Inter fans who had booed him for his poor performance.[38] This led to an attempt by a small group of supporters to physically attack Balotelli after the end of the game. His behaviour brought disapproval from fans, team-mates and football pundits.[39]
After weeks of speculation Inter reached an agreement for Balotelli's transfer to Manchester City on 12 August 2010, for €22 million. for which Inter made a profit of €21.856 million.[40][41] At Manchester City Balotelli reunited with his former boss, Roberto Mancini.[42] who said, "his style of play will suit the Premier League, and because he is still so young there is a big chance for him to improve. He is a strong and exciting player, and City fans will enjoy watching him".[43]
On 19 August 2010 Balotelli came on as a substitute to score in his debut against Politehnica Timişoara in a 1–0 away win in the Europa League.[44] Unfortunately he injured the lateral meniscus in his right knee in the match and on 8 September he underwent surgery that saw him sidelined until October.[45] Balotelli eventually made his Premier League debut on 24 October as a substitute in a 3–0 home defeat to Arsenal[46] and made his full debut on 30 October in a 2–1 away defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers.[47] Balotelli scored his first and second Premier League goals on 7 November in a 2–0 away win to West Brom.[48] In the same game Balotelli received a red card for violent conduct as the result of a clash with Youssuf Mulumbu, which his manager Roberto Mancini described as unfair.[49] Balotelli scored the first two of City's three goals in the 3–0 win over FC Red Bull Salzburg in Manchester City's Europa League group stage match.[50]
On 21 December 2010 Balotelli won the Golden Boy Award, saying that only one of the past winners was slightly better than he was – Lionel Messi. He also claimed not to know of Arsenal's Jack Wilshere, the player he narrowly beat to the award.[51] On 28 December 2010 Balotelli scored his first Premier League hat-trick in a 4–0 win over Aston Villa.[52] Despite this Balotelli still had problems and in March 2011 he was sent off in the second-leg of Manchester City's Europa League tie with Dynamo Kiev.[53] On 14 May 2011 Balotelli was man of the match in the 2011 FA Cup Final as Manchester City defeated Stoke City 1–0 to win their first trophy in thirty-five years.[54]
Balotelli scored his first goal of the 2011–12 campaign in a 2–0 Carling Cup win against Birmingham City. He followed this up with the opening goal against Everton three days later. On 1 October 2011 he scored his third goal in as many games in a 4–0 win away to Blackburn Rovers. Balotelli scored the opening two goals and forced the dismissal of Jonny Evans as City beat Manchester United 6–1 at Old Trafford on 23 October 2011.[55] Balotelli made his Champions League debut for Man City on 2 November 2011, in the return match against Villarreal. He scored from the penalty spot on the stroke of half time during the match, scoring his first CL goal for them in the process and his seventh goal overall in the season.[56] On November 27, Balotelli came on as a 65th minute substitute against Liverpool, and was sent off after receiving two yellow cards.[57] Balotelli scored using his right shoulder in City's 5–1 win over Norwich on 3 December.[58] He put City 1–0 up against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge after just two minutes on 12 December, although Chelsea rallied to win 2–1.[59]
On 22 January 2012, Balotelli came on as a substitute during a match against Tottenham Hotspur. He appeared to stamp on Scott Parker during the match against Tottenham. He was already booked but did not get a second yellow from referee Howard Webb who did not see the incident.[60] Balotelli subsequently scored his first goal of 2012 , a injury-time penalty which secured a 3–2 win for City.[61] He was charged for violent conduct for the kick against Scott Parker and was suspended for four matches, three for violent conduct and one for his second sending off.[60] On 25 February, he scored his 10th league goal of the season in a 3–0 home win against Blackburn Rovers.[62] He scored again the following game this time in a 2–0 win against Bolton.[63] On 31 March, Balotelli scored twice as City drew 3–3 at home to Sunderland. However, Balotelli was criticised for his actions in the match, after squabbling with Aleksandar Kolarov over a free kick. Roberto Mancini claimed after the game he had considered substituting Balotelli just five minutes into the match.[64] On 8 April 2012, Balotelli received his fourth red card, after earning his second yellow card during the match both against Bacary Sagna, during City's 1–0 loss to Arsenal in April 2012, after "a dangerous, chaotic, birdbrain performance".[65] After the Arsenal match, Mancini appeared to have finally lost his patience with Balotelli, suggesting that Balotelli would not play any part in the remainder of City's season and be sold by the club.[66] Despite this, Balotelli did make an appearance as a late substitute in the last game of the season, a title-deciding match against Queens Park Rangers. Balotelli provided the assist that allowed Sergio Aguero to score the 94th-minute winner that won City their first league title since 1968.
Balotelli was unable to answer call-ups to the Italian national under-15 and under-17 teams as he was still considered to be a Ghanaian immigrant.[67]
On 7 August 2007, five days before his 17th birthday, Balotelli received his first senior International call-up for Ghana from their coach Claude Le Roy for a friendly against Senegal at the New Den stadium in London, England, on 21 August 2007.[68] He declined the offer citing once again his willingness to play for Italy when he became eligible.[69] He also stated his willingness to represent Italy at international level once he acquired an Italian passport.[70]
Italy U-21 coach Pierluigi Casiraghi stated his intention to call up Balotelli once he obtained Italian citizenship. On 13 August 2008 Balotelli was finally given Italian citizenship[71] and Casiraghi called him to join the Italy national under-21 football team "Azzurrini" on 29 August for the matches against Greece and Croatia.[72] In his debut on 5 September 2008 he scored his first international goal in a 1–1 draw with the Greek U-21's.
Balotelli was named in the final 23-man squad for the 2009 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championships and scored the opening goal against the hosts Sweden in the 23rd minute. Barely 15 minutes later he was shown a red card for retaliating against a Swedish midfielder Pontus Wernbloom.[73]
Balotelli received his first call-up for the Italian senior team, as part of the squad announced by new head coach Cesare Prandelli, for a friendly match against Côte d'Ivoire - the first match after the 2010 World Cup. With the match, he became the first Black player to play with the Italian national team.[74] On 10 August 2010, two days before his 20th birthday, he made his debut in that match partnering Cassano and Amauri in a 0–1 loss.[75] On 11 November 2011, Balotelli scored his first senior international goal in a 2–0 win against Poland at Stadion Miejski in Wroclaw, Poland.[76]
Balotelli is credited with pace, a forceful shot and technical ability, but criticised for a petulant attitude.[77] He is often nicknamed mario the magician because of his skill with the ball and "Super Mario"[78][79] and can play anywhere along the front line. Balotelli is also a set-piece specialist[citation needed] and is regarded as a promising but difficult young striker.[citation needed]
"The problem is because of his age, he can make some mistakes. He's Mario. He's crazy – but I love him because he's a good guy."
"I told him, if you played with me 10 years ago I would give you every day maybe one punch in your head. There are different ways to help a guy like Mario. I don't speak with him every day, otherwise I would need a psychologist, but I speak with him because I don't want him to lose his quality. If Mario is not one of the best players in the world it will be his fault, because he has everything. Mario can be one of the top players in Europe. I don't want him to lose his talent."
"I've finished my words for him. I've finished. He is not a bad guy and a fantastic player but I'm very sorry for him as he continues to lose his talent and his quality. I don't have any words for his behaviour. I hope for him he can understand he is in a bad way for his future and I really hope that he can change his behaviour in the future. But I'm finished."
Balotelli has been given a reputation by the media for being a difficult character and taking part in questionable activities. Manchester City supporters have a chant with lyrics referring to his behaviour[82], while musician Tinchy Stryder recorded a song in Balotelli's honour.[83]
Within days of joining Manchester City, Balotelli was involved in a car crash.[84] It was reported that Balotelli was carrying £5000 cash at the time - and that when a police officer asked why he had such a large sum of cash Balotelli replied: "Because I am rich".[85] Off-field activities involving Balotelli have included driving into a women's prison in Italy[86] and throwing darts at a youth team player during a training ground 'prank'.[87] Balotelli has also been subjected to tabloid rumours about him confronting a bully in a school after querying why a young City fan was not at school[88] and giving £1000 to a homeless man on the streets of Manchester,[89] allegations which subsequently turned out to be false.[90][91] Video footage before City's Europa League clash with Dinamo Kiev in March 2011 showed Balotelli requiring assistance to put on a training bib,[92] an incident which teammate Edin Džeko was seen mimicking the following week in the warm up before City's game at Chelsea.[93] In September 2011, Balotelli was reportedly seen using his iPad whilst on the substitutes' bench for Italy during their game with the Faroe Islands,[94] although he denied this on a visit to a prison later that week.[95] Balotelli has turned the garden of his Manchester home into a racetrack for quadbikes.[96] Balotelli celebrated his goal against Manchester United in October 2011 by unveiling a shirt with the words: "Why always me?" on it - a celebration which seemingly disputes the accuracy of newspaper reports.[97] The day before the match a firework was set off in Balotelli's home, and later that week he was unveiled as an ambassador for firework safety.[98][99] On 5 November 2011, at the annual fireworks display at Edenbridge, Kent, a 12 m tall effigy of Balotelli was burned.[100]
In December 2011, Balotelli broke a 48-hour curfew before City's game against Chelsea to go to a curry house, although he "was not drinking alcohol, signed autographs, posed for pictures with fellow diners and was involved in a mock sword-fight using rolling pins". The club launched an internal investigation and he could face disciplinary action.[101] In the same month, it was reported that Balotelli visited his local church where he donated £200 and then visited a pub in Chorlton-cum-Hardy where he bought a £1000 round.[102] Balotelli's jaunt and donation to church was later confirmed by the church's priest.[103]
Balotelli made an unexpected appearance at Andrea Stramaccioni's first press conference as Inter Milan coach on March 2012. Balotelli entered the press room, shook Stramaccioni's hand and those of other people at the podium before leaving the press conference amidst some laughter from the crowd.[104]
After Manchester City won the league on 13th May 2012, Balotelli promised on BBC Radio One to record a song in commemoration of the feat, entitled "Mr Mario and the Sky Blues".
Balotelli considers himself a "genius" and this is why he thinks he is misunderstood.[105]

What the Ashleys say on Recess every five seconds. "OoOoH, scanDALous!"
1. | scandalous | ||
A word used to describe a girl that you can not trust as far as you can throw her.
Sometimes girls that are scandalous dress in very risque cheap slutty clothing. They are easy to spot because no matter how big of a douche you are, they look at you like they would give you a lumpkin upon request. The other kind of scandalous hits me a bit closer to home. Sometimes you're at a party and you meet a girl that seems to be hot and from a good family and you end up making out and petting. Naturally you think that you're special and that this girl actually likes you. Unfortunately what ends up happening is she just likes to make out and probably does it all the time. This kind of scandalous girl is a heart breaker and you end up hating them more than anything else in the world. Let that be a lesson. Any girl that puts out before she has spent a lot of time with you is more than likely scandalous even though they may be mighty tempting. Take all red flags seriously. Dude: Damn look at that girl on that ass.
Bud: Oh you mean the one waiting for the city bus. Look at how scandalous she looks in that princess t-shirt. ------------------------------ ---- ---------------------------------- ---------------- Reg: Wow I love this school. The girls seem so polite and tidy. Back in Detroit they started fucking at age 14. Moe: Don't be fooled my friend. They may look innocent, but some of the girls up in here are downright scandalous. |
3. | scandalous | ||
being naughty or firsky pul was so scandalous on monday night
4. | scandalous | ||
Full of scandal, often in reference to something overtly sexual; or at least construed as such. "Three bananas a dog and your best guy friend....? Scandalous!!"
5. | scandalous | ||
A: One whom miscontrudes the life they are living by covering things up with lies.
B: One whom lies, cheats, and can not be trusted due to their actions. C: One who thinks they can get away with stuff, and not get caught, but often slips up and gets caught anyways. "Damn that girl is scandalous. I found out she had a boyfriend and never told me about it!"
"That scandalous bitch tried to hook up with my best friend while I was out of town" |
6. | scandalous | ||
in usage of something that can be deemed risque or out of the normal perimeters in what is accepted in society, to incite a scandal. usually when someone says or does something that will have people talking about them, and how wrong they are. beefer: man, i'm trying to get this girl to do the right thing, but she isn't budging bro! i may have to slip her a roofie.
t-money: that shit is scandalous. |

REGINA — The Saskatchewan Roughriders jumped into the free-agent pool on Friday.
The Riders re-signed linebacker Tyron Brackenridge, who was the team's 2012 defensive player of the year. They also signed defensive back Dwight Anderson, who spent the past two seasons with the Montreal Alouettes. In 16 games last season, the 31-year-old Anderson had 47 defensive tackles and two interceptions.
Before joining the Alouettes, Anderson spent three seasons with the Calgary Stampeders after playing his rookie season with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. In 98 career regular season games, Anderson has recorded 290 defensive tackles and 14 interceptions. He is a two-time divisional all-star and was a Grey Cup champion in 2008.
Brackenridge returns for his third season with the Riders. After joining the team late in the 2011 season and playing in five games, Brackenridge started all 18 regular-season games and the West semifinal last year. The Washington State product led the Riders last season with 77 defensive tackles, seven tackles for a loss and two interceptions
"Dwight is a proven veteran in this league and instantly bolsters our secondary," Riders general manager Brendan Taman said in a media release. "(Anderson's) familiarity and relationship with (head coach) Corey Chamblin was a major factor in his decision to come to Saskatchewan. We are also very pleased that we were able to re-sign Tyron. He showed tremendous growth with the team last year and has turned into one of our top defensive players."
The Riders, meanwhile, lost defensive end Odell Willis and linebacker Shomari Williams to free agency. Willis signed with the Edmonton Eskimos on Friday, six minutes after the league's 11 a.m. free-agent deadline. The import defensive end spent the 2012 season with the Riders, recording six sacks.
The Hamilton Tiger-Cat signed Williams, the first overall selection in the 2010 CFL draft by the Riders, to a three-year deal. Williams and Willis both filed for free agency after Friday's deadline.
The Riders acquired Willis from the Winnipeg Blue Bombers prior to the 2012 regular season for draft picks. General manager Brendan Taman said recently if Willis didn't re-sign with the Riders they would retain a third-round pick in the 2013 CFL draft. The selection would have gone to Winnipeg if Willis had re-signed.
"We thought there was a good chance of him heading to free agency when we made the trade last year,'' Taman said. "It was something we were hoping to avoid, but realistically it could happen. He helped us for one year, but he didn't help us for two.''
Willis reportedly drew some interest from NFL teams during the off-season. Jerry Marlatt, Willis's representative, said NFL teams decided not sign Willis (6-foot-2, 255 pounds) due to his size.
"If he were two or three inches taller, he'd be on an NFL roster today,'' Marlatt said. "He's small by NFL standards as a 4-3 rush defensive end.''
Willis was one of six members of the 2012 Riders who filed for free agency on Friday. The remaining free agents are receiver Jordan Sisco, offensive lineman Alex Krausnick-Groh and defensive back Chris McKenzie.
In 2012, Willis recorded 23 defensive tackles, six quarterback sacks, three pass knock-downs, two tackles for loss, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. The University of West Georgia product recorded 40 sacks in four seasons and has a career total 101 defensive tackles and four fumble recoveries. In 2011, Willis was named an East Division and CFL All Star after racking up a career high 27 defensive tackles and tying for the league lead with Justin Hickman of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats with 13 sacks.

- Engineered thoracic member keeps the brace in position, and gives during impact, protecting the spine
- Rear-upper support gives way under severe loads, acting as a crumple zone
- Bio-foam lining absorbs shock and is replaceable and washable

Hello Morrissey-solo readers.
You may remember me as the author of last year's "Diana's Death Foretold by Morrissey: A Small Sample of the Evidence". Your feedback to that poorly planned article taught me a few lessons about submitting evidence:
1. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
2. Keep it simple.
3. Sometimes, less is more.
Hopefully those lessons have served me well at my new, illustrated, webpage presentation of the Diana-Morrissey phenomenon.
The site is called 'Diana's Death Foretold in the Work of Morrissey' and is located at http://members.home.net/veganmozfan
Please visit the site and let me know if I've succeeded in presenting a convincing case.
I genuinely believe that the Diana-Morrissey phenomenon is the most compelling case of prophecy ever documented. Please review my website and let me know if you agree.
Thank you.
David Alice

Cellar/Tasting Notes Ferocious extract, huge tannin, an opaque purple color, and enormous richness all make for a potentially brilliant wine from this vineyard, located on the plateau of Pomerol just adjacent to Petrus. Probably a late finisher of malolactic given its showing on three separate occasions, this wine,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes This masculine-styled Pomerol exhibits notes of iron, earth, vitamins, black cherries, and blackberries. It is reminiscent of a Trotanoy in terms of personality and appellation character. Full-bodied and super-dense with a boatload of tannin as well as unbridled power, richness, and depth ...
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A dark ruby (but not opaque) color is followed by aromas of sweet raspberries and black currants with dusty, earthy, loamy soil notes in the background."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Offers beautiful blueberry, raspberry, and cherry notes intermixed with toasty new oak, spring flowers, lovely fruit, and fine length."
Cellar/Tasting Notes From a 5-acre parcel cropped at 20 hectoliters per hectare, the 2009 La Plus La Fleur de Bouard (400-500 cases of 100% Merlot) boasts an inky/blue/purple color as well as a gorgeous nose of incense, graphite, blueberries, blackberries, ink, and spring flowers, awesome concentration, and sweet..
Cellar/Tasting Notes It boasts an inky/purple color along with a gorgeous bouquet of mocha, chocolate, blackberry and cassis fruit, an unctuous texture, a full-bodied, viscous mouthfeel and a skyscraper-like, multilayered finish. This spectacular wine is nearly overwhelming in its richness, thickness and intensity.
Cellar/Tasting Notes ... the 2009 Les Pensees de Lafleur has terrific purity, a serious level of concentration, impressive notes of melted licorice and kirsch liqueur, and a full-bodied mouthfeel. While its tannins are soft, the wine boasts plenty of glycerin and leaves an impressive tactile impression.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "One of the big stories in 2006 is the resurrection of this once very good Pomerol estate now that it has been purchased by Catherine Pere-Verge, who has done so much to raise the level of quality at Chateau Le Gay. From a vineyard well-situated between Le Pin and Trotanoy, La Violette's 2006 is a..
Cellar/Tasting Notes It boasts an inky/blue/purple hue along with notes of incense, spring flowers, roasted espresso, chocolate, licorice, blackberries and blueberries. Even though it is aged in 100% oak, the wood is virtually non-existent... The wine exhibits a flawless integration of acidity, alcohol and tannin. This..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The structured, pure, focused 2006 Valandraud offers hints of white chocolate, coffee beans, black currants, cherries, and underlying camphor as well as earth. Outstanding ripeness, medium body, and a highly structured, tannic style is broodingly backward at present. It tasted as if malolactic had..

Comments about The North Face Denali Jacket for Women:
I love the Denali jacket. It is perfection. My reason for only four suns is that the color is completely misrepresented by this pic. I purchased the teaberry pink. Fortunately, I had seen this before at another retailer and knew that it would be very bright. Before you purchase, google this North Face color combo to see other companies pics to be sure you will be happy with such an attention grabbing jacket. I assure you, it is BRIGHT!

Beautiful Color
By LOVE2SHOP315
from syracuse, ny
I ordered the Premiere Purple and the color is gorgeous. Its not really a dark royal purple as pictured but more of a raspberry color. But I love it so much better! Its soft and lightweight and fits me perfectly. I was scared to pick an XL because I wasn't sure if it'd fit around my hips. I'm between a size 16-18 and its fits just right. I'm a little more bustier but that wasn't even a problem surprisingly. I have the exact same jacket in the black in size XXL and it fits good too but just a little roomier if that's the look you want.
Great jacket for a great price!

Great jacket - very versatile. I ordered the heather grey/graphite grey and the main color of the jacket is lighter grey (heather) than the picture shown with the top part being the darker color shown (graphite grey), rather than it being all one color. I was glad - I had seen pictures of it elsewhere and it looks even better in real life than the picture on this website :)
Love it!!

Dan Houser Opens Up About Grand Theft Auto III
Longtime series writer discusses GTA III's ongoing legacy, why he's not concerned with public outcries, and how "no one gave a crap" about the game at E3 2001.
The name Dan Houser might not ring a bell for every Grand Theft Auto fan, but the English-born game developer has been a critical part of the franchise's success over the years. Among his notable contributions to the franchise is co-writing Grand Theft Auto III, the title that pushed the series into the mainstream spotlight and left a substantial mark on the next decade of game development. As we approach GTA III's 10-year anniversary, GameSpot recently sat down with Houser to get his opinion on the landmark action game's legacy, how the series has changed in the past decade, and some of the struggles the development team faced early on.
GS: Was there a particular point in time when you realized this was a game that people would still be talking about a decade down the road?
DH: During development, we obviously had no idea that it would go for 10 years or that it would be as successful as it was because you could never really hope for that level of success. Even the developer sort of fractured through the making of it. People didn't stay with us early on, because we were moving DMA down to Edinburgh and turning them into what would become Rockstar North. Some of those guys were like, "This could never work for reasons X, Y, and Z."
you could never really hope for that level of success."
About a year out--maybe 10 months or so--we first had the city, the cars, some of the weapons, and an enormous reservoir of problems that we hadn't figured out yet. We were like, "If this could get to where we think it should get to, this is going to be amazing. Now how the hell do we solve those other problems?" And then, the early part of showing people the game--including E3 2001--was disconcerting because it was incredibly underwhelming. Because we thought it could be magical. Not the Holy Grail, but this thing that was 3D but open and expansive, combining elements of hardcore action, driving, adventuring--all these genres. Very cinematic and story-driven gameplay, this experience that's really unlike anything you've seen before. And people were scratching their heads around it! We were all, "Are we wrong?"
There was enormous excitement around a few other games coming that fall. We went to E3 and everyone was obsessed by State of Emergency, and no one gave a crap really about GTA III. State of Emergency we thought was interesting, but not without its flaws--some of which never got resolved. But GTA III was already running, and we thought, "This is amazing!" But E3, I think, isn't the best place to show a game anyway, and that's definitely become solidified in our thinking since then.
The second half of 2001 changed people's perspective with some success. But still, it didn't really happen until consumers got their hands on it. I definitely think we were convinced the game was going to be pretty successful and we would make another one. Assuming Take Two didn't go bust because it was under enormous pressure. We'd begun to realize there was something really interesting in this kind of game. All of 2001 we sort of realized, hey, there's something really interesting here--are people going to see it? But we were very passionate about it from that point on.
GS: Can you describe your writing process for GTA III? How has it evolved since then, with recent games like Red Dead Redemption?
DH: I'm trying to think. Is there such a thing as a process? Are we that organized? I don't know if we are.
GS: Would you call it a lack of process back then?
DH: No, it's sort of similar in some ways. We don't necessarily separate the story and the design--they're kind of the same thing. We use the story to expose the mechanics, and we use the mechanics to tell the story. So it should feel very integrated. The way we organize the games is by missions, and the way we organize missions is by story. So there isn't really a big difference.
"We went to E3 and everyone was obsessed by State of Emergency, and no one gave a crap really about GTA III."
To begin with we were like, this is going to be easy! We'll just take GTA--which was probably a stronger game than GTA 2 vibe-wise--fix the bits we didn't like, make it in 3D, and we're done. Which was probably the most naive idea we've ever had. Something we've learned over the years is that the ideas aren't the difficult bit; the difficult bit is the implementation.
One of the things that GTA 2 had become bogged down with was this idea of nonlinearity. There was no story. With GTA III, we came to terms with the idea that what nonlinearity meant was choice. The skill was combining the strengths of freedom of choice with the strengths of narrative. On some levels they're diametrically opposed, so the skill was trying to figure out a structure to everything that would allow you to reconcile as best you could some element of narrative while still giving the players constant choice.
A good story is one that moves you through the experience well. Yes, you want clever plots and clever twists and clever this, that, and the other. For a game like this, we needed something that moved you around the map well and kept you engaged and is a constant series of mini-stories. Each mission is like its own short story, and then you need this overarching story that the player doesn't lose track of. You don't leave too many things unclosed, you don't leave too many characters hanging there, you don't slaughter absolutely everyone, but you do get revenge on some people. As much of that stuff as possible.
In doing all these open-world games, we've been learning each time to refine [our storytelling process], change it slightly, and modify it. We've overhauled those processes, but they're not radically changed. They're still in some ways fundamentally the same--the mission structure's kind of fundamentally changed a bunch--but it's evolved on from what it was.
GS: It seems like one of the biggest changes in storytelling is that you guys have moved on from the silent protagonist. Was that change brought about by more technical resources for added characterization, or was it simply a narrative decision?
DH: It was a combination of the two. We were solving so many problems the first time. How would you bring a 3D world to life? How would you make a game that combines these seamless modes? How would you make a story that's both linear and nonlinear at the same time? And I guess we, quite consciously, came to the realization that how would you make a player speak in an open world? We can't bother. We can't figure that out right now. We didn't even know if the narrative was going to be interesting enough to warrant it. We spent a lot of time on Vice City solving that riddle.
GTA 2 had become bogged down with was this idea of nonlinearity."
Once we realized that the stories could be and were as interesting as we hoped, we realized the next step was that the protagonist was going to have to speak. Even by the end of III, he wasn't just an everyman, and he had a personality. He just didn't speak! So that was a little bit disingenuous. It ended up feeling like it worked, but it could have been better if he'd spoken. It was a natural progression.
GS: Why has the series shied away from using celebrity voice actors?
DH: Two reasons, one practical. It used to be that we could get a famous actor in for a day or two, or even for a big part four or five days, and do all of the voice work needed. On PS2-era graphics, that gave us decent results. Now we don't really have a difference between our animation process and our voice-overs. When people use the words "voice acting" now, it doesn't really make sense to me. There's no voice acting. There's acting, now. Their movement and their voice are the same thing done at the same time. There is no difference between the two.
By the end of San Andreas, we were getting better results with non-famous actors. One of the actors playing a part stormed out. Not famous, but a minor C- or D-list actor. He stormed out because he didn't like the fact that the character was gay, or in his mind was gay. I liked the guy who'd done the mo-cap [for the character], so we just used him. And we got a brilliant result. He feels a lot more like the movement and the voice. They feel a lot more integrated. Once we moved to high-definition, that became a lot more important.
Another reason is that for the PS2-era games, we were aspiring to something that felt like you were in your own movie or your own TV show. Now we're able to get things that feel a bit beyond that, and having the famous people really distracts you. Now if we have famous people, they tend to be playing themselves.
We're still using top-level actors; they're just not famous ones. We audition them and take a long time figuring out if we've got the right ones, but we feel like we're getting better results for what we're doing. To me, it feels like a lot more alive now than it did then.
GS: So much fuss has been made out of GTA III's morality, but a lot of that was really a result of the player's own doing. Was that brought about because of a conscious decision to reflect the player's actions, or more of an evolution from the content in GTA 2?
DH: It was more of the former. The key idea of the game was that it wasn't about violence; it was about freedom. We thought that was something that games did very well, the idea that you're turning a viewer into an active participant. So give them the freedom of choice over what they do. Like what we were talking about with the story, give them the choice over what they do next. And when you're not in the story and you're in the open-world stuff, you can really choose what you do. Good, bad, and indifferent. Drive around listening to music. They were limited, but there were some minigames. Or you could be as big a sociopath as you see fit, and the game will punish you accordingly. The thing about the game is that, in some ways, it's the exact opposite: you get punished as much as you can punish someone in a game for your actions. And you don't get away with anything!
"By the end of San Andreas, we were getting better results with non-famous actors."
Subsequently, as we've developed the games and expanded them, we've tried to improve all of those things. We've certainly tried to improve the story, but we've also tried to improve how the non-story content works and make the space between the two smaller. A variety of content that's not likely to get you arrested, and a variety of content that is. We've tried to develop all areas of that. But we've definitely tried to give players freedom in how they played the game. That was key to what the game was about and is about.
GS: Why do you think it's still a struggle for games to be taken seriously as a vehicle for those mature themes?
DH: I don't know. We kind of do what we do, take the heat for it, and move on. If what we do is wildly pathetic and immature, we'll take the heat for that just the same as if it's fantastic. I suppose partly it's because they're animation. They're mechanical. They're still better at doing physical things than emotional things. Though I think L.A. Noire showed there's a pathway toward doing more diverse content and mechanics in that way.
It's still a young, young medium. I don't think in 1925 or 1930 or whenever movies were the equivalent age to where games are now people were taking movies anywhere near as seriously to where people are taking games right now. You can't expect games to have the same cultural cachet as an established medium because that's not how things work. But that's clearly changed in the past 15 years, and it will continue to change.
There was a real danger when things were being taken to the Supreme Court. That was the thing to take seriously. Everything else is about vanity. It doesn't matter whether we excite some abstract panel of cultural arbiters. What matters to us is do we excite, educate, entertain, amuse, stimulate--or fail to do any of the above--this individual playing our game? That's the person we want to have a relationship with.

This article was updated at 9:00 a.m.
For this February edition of "12on12," Law Technology News asked attendees about their favorite moment at LegalTech New York. We were flooded with responses, so in no particular order, here are just a few of what we received:
I really enjoyed my time walking the exhibit hall floor and seeing so many familiar faces. Having been to LegalTech now for nine straight years, I'm always amazed at how many people I know from the industry. Brad Jenkins, president and CEO, CloudNine Discovery, Houston.
As a marketer for several exhibitors ... it was pretty amazing to see the depth and breadth of technology [offerings] specific to the legal market all under one roof. Gwen Hoover, vice president, marketing services, Altitude Marketing, Emmaus, Pa.
Meeting people we have only spoken to on the phone. We are so far away down in Australia that it is hard to get a sense of where things are moving, technology-wise. Attending the show allows us to get an overall feel rather than a skewed view from just a couple of suppliers. Anthony and Georgina Ridley-Smith, Matrix Solutions, Sydney.
Law firm partners came by our booth, and asked us to scan their badges and to pitch our products, because one of the partners identified us as the "bosses" of our marketing associate who had chatted with one of the partners at length earlier. Chi Eng, CEO, Neulexa Corp., New York.
The keynote address, " The Morning Show," with Patrick Oot and Magistrate Judge Andrew Peck. I thought that the jazz music was energizing and refreshing a great way to start the day. Daniel Regard, CEO, Intelligent Discovery Solutions, Washington, D.C.
The Wednesday predictive coding mock hearing ["How Safe is Your CAR?"] with Magistrate Judge James Francis IV and some of the experts and participants in Global Aerospace. The results of Global Aerospace, (the first judge-ordered and utilized predictive coding) were published just before LegalTech, it was good to see a live, almost "re-creation" of a matter where predictive coding should be argued to be used. Michael Dalewitz, director of e-discovery, Trustpoint International, New York City.

Hamlet's Old Fashioned Christmas festivities kicked off Friday evening, and lasted for two nights in Hamlet's downtown district.
Friday night the jolly old elf himself, Santa Claus, appeared on his 1953 Farmall tractor.
Entertainment for Friday evening included: DJ Jimmy Reese, The Butterflies Praise Team, Beth McDonald, Vicky Daniels, Charles Ellerbe, and Bob Dotson on guitar.
There was also a live nativity scene at First Baptist Church on Hamlet Avenue.
Many businesses opened to served refreshments, hot chocolate, cookies and candy.
A parade of boats was presented at the Hamlet City Lake.
The president of Hamlet Business Development Ron Mayo began the event Saturday evening as everyone gathered around the Train Depot, announcing the night's itinerary. Mayo and other participants were dressed in "Old Fashioned" attire and served well as crowd motivators, pumping the holiday spirit into the group.
"Is everyone having a good time … Merry Christmas," Mayo cheered.
The Hamlet Visitor Center and Tornado Building were also open for tours and offered a vast and detailed history of Hamlet. There were endless displays of memorabilia to see and learn about.
One of the main attractions at the event was the free horse and carriage ride provided by Jones Hitch and Company in Proctorville. The vintage styled carriage transported about 15 people along Main Street and was pulled by two gorgeous Belgian Draft Horses.
"These horses typically weigh about 2,200 pounds," said attendant Matt Hudson.
The Duck Express train successfully attracted parents and children with the destination of Santa on their mind. The train departed from the bottom of the street and ended at Main Street Central, where Santa and Mrs. Claus waited for eager kids. The line to the train steadily lasted throughout the event.
"It's been wonderful here," said Cassandra Colson of Hamlet, "there's definitely more to it than I thought."
Families leaving Santa's station and heading back to the Depot encountered carolers Stan and Linda Jacobs of Rockingham. They sang a selection of Christmas favorites and were dressing the part as well.
"This is our first year here," said Mr. Jacobs, "but we'll definitely come back if they'll have us."
Saturday's entertainment on Main Street also included performances at the Depot by Backlash Bluegrass, St. Mary's Gospel Choir, Sue Jarvis, Brass Quintet, Links Barbershop Quartet, Danny Infantino and Seren Lyerly. As the bluegrass band performed, some members of the choir were inspired by the music and joined in by dancing inside the building.

A month later, on the morning of September 11, 2001, in Sarasota, Florida, Morell gave the daily briefing as usual to the president. There was nothing memorable in it.
Then Morell got into the president's motorcade to head to the local elementary school where Bush planned to meet with some students. At the school, where Bush was reading a story to a group of second-graders, the news came on TV that a second jet had hit the World Trade Center.
Bush and a small group of other officials including Morell were hustled out of the school to head to Air Force One, which took off for Barksdale Air Force Base near Shreveport, Louisiana.
In Washington, news soon circulated that a Palestinian terrorist organization, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, had claimed responsibility for the attacks.
Bush summoned Morell, asking, "What do you make of this?" Morrell replied, "The DFLP has a history of terrorism against Israel, but its capabilities are limited. It does not have the resources and reach to do this."
In the early afternoon, Air Force One headed from Louisiana to Offutt Air Force Base near Omaha, Nebraska. Bush asked to see Morell again, and pushed him for his opinion about who was behind the attacks. "I don't have any intelligence as yet, so what I am going to say is my personal view," Morell said, "There are two terrorist states capable of conducting such a complex operation -- Iran and Iraq -- but neither have much to gain and everything to lose from attacking the U.S."
Morell added, "The responsible party is almost certainly a nonstate actor and I have no doubt that the trail will lead to bin Laden and al Qaeda," according to a U.S. intelligence official with knowledge of the conversation.
Five months later on January 4, 2002, again at Bush's vacation ranch in Texas, Morell had the delicate task of informing the president that it was the CIA's assessment bin Laden had fought at the Battle of Tora Bora in eastern Afghanistan during mid-December 2001, but he had survived and escaped.
Bush was incensed at this and became hostile, as if Morell himself were the culprit.
Flash forward to the summer of 2011: Morell, an unassuming, scholarly analyst in his mid-50s who speaks in terse, cogent paragraphs, was now the deputy director of the CIA. He was one of a small group of officials at the agency who knew there was a quite promising lead on the possible whereabouts of bin Laden that led to a large compound in the northern Pakistan city of Abbottabad.

George McCartney of West Ham celebrates at the end of the game - Blackpool vs West Ham United , npower Championship Play-off Final at Wembley Stadium, London - 19/05/12 - MANDATORY CREDIT: Rob Newell/TGSPHOTO - Self billing applies where appropriate - 0845 094 6026 - email@example.com - NO UNPAID USE..

West Ham full back George McCartney is hoping to make his loan move from Sunderland a permanent one now the Hammers have been promoted
George McCartney's arrival as a 54th minute susbitute was one of the defining moments of Saturday's play-off final clash with Blackpool.
Before that, Tom Ince has been causing all sorts of problems down the right, including scoring the equaliser, but after the Sunderland loanee came on, he was barely a threat again.
"It was a tough day," admitted the 30-year-old. "Blackpool played really well and created a few chances.
"I didn't think I would get on as early as I did, but it was great to be out there, we kept it tight at the back and thankfully we got the winner."
McCartney can count himself unlucky not to start the final. He has been a stalwart of the Hammers team this season and only an injury put him on the sidelines.
"I was having a good season until the Birmingham game where I got concussion and when I came back the manager kept the same team.
"So I can't get too disappointed, because I have played my part this season. I have played 40/41 games this year and I am delighted."
Now McCartney is already looking towards next season and he hopes a permanent move to Upton Park from the Stadium of Light.
"Of course I would like to be here next year,2 he confirmed. "I have regrets about leaving a few years ago and I have got the opportunity to come back and things have gone really well.
"So hopefully in a few weeks' time when everything has settled down we can sort something out."
Hammers defenders Guy Demel and Joey O'Brien are celebrating another good campaign at Upton Park
