My aspiration for this work is to prepare minds and hearts for the natural processes of aging, and to lead people to greater acceptance of the consequences of aging for themselves and others. I would like the public to face up to challenges like dementia without judging those who live with it. Perhaps growing old wouldn't inspire so much fear and avoidance in this culture if we knew that we would be acknowledged, accepted, and treated favorably no matter how advanced our age.
I expanded my project from one culture to another in order to gain knowledge about both the universal and the culturally specific aspects of aging and the acceptance of the elderly in societies around the world. The aging process is inevitable: it doesn't discriminate among races, religions, ethnicities or genders. I hope that my work will remind people that older individuals, even those suffering from Alzheimer's or other diseases, comprise a very special segment of our society. They hold our cultural experiences, traditions, and history.
I have been participant in the following exhibitions:
2007 Exhibition at JCC, Ann Arbor
2008 Exhibition in Detroit, accompanied by the fund raising for non-profit organization FOCOS.
All proceeds were donated to FOCOS
2009 Photograph was selected and published by Carlton Book in 'Sacred Journeys' by Rebecca Hint
2009 Solo Exhibition at University of Michigan Hospital, Taubman Center, 48 photographs
2010 Exhibition at JCC, Ann Arbor
2011 Published in ZOOM--Russia magazine, Russians Everywhere segment. Two pages spread includes five photographs and the article written by Irina Tchmyreva
2011 During months of March and April I am participating in the exhibition Women and Photography: Mirror Image, Florissant Valley Art Gallery, St. Louis, MO
I think of myself as an explorer out to discover life while trying to record and understand the essence of human character. I am a documentary photographer addressing social issues that concern me.
Formally a Mechanical Engineer, I became a photographer because of my desire to explore different worlds, to seek and document unique cultures, and to advocate against the dilution of those cultures into a dangerous and dull societal uniformity. My aspiration—to share the stories of the people I meet—is based upon my deep belief that the world is a beautiful and mystifying place, and that the people who inhabit it are enigmatic and fascinating creatures, each with their own unique experience.
Born in Minsk, Belarus, I have lived in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA since 1979.

I expanded my project to different countries in order to observe the elderly in countries other than our owe. During the last years I photographed in Romania, Mexico, Japan and Ukraine. In United State I photographed in Maine, Los Angeles CA, Ann Arbor, and Cleveland OH.
The project has been financed by my family.
Recently I went to Ghana to photograph the work of Ortho-FOCOS (Foundation of Orthopedic and Complex Spine) group. Working for a non-profit organization like FOCOS was an absolute revelation to me: it taught me the meaning of genuine giving. Being a part of the team made me grow as a human being and as a photographer. I have just finished the book about these American doctors who treated thousand of bone disorders in Ghana.

Avoiding overcooked poached eggs
Are your poached eggs tentacled, scary, and tough? Learn how to avoid overcooked eggs. By: Tim Cebula
The Solution: First, fill a wide saucepan or sauté pan with water to about two inches. Bring it to a gentle simmer-not a rolling boil, which toughens and twists the whites. Add a few teaspoons of vinegar, which does help eggs keep their shape. Crack eggs (fresher ones won't spread as much) into small ramekins or custard cups. The cups let you gently pour the eggs into the pan so the whites stay in a tight circle, and ensure you won't crack a broken-yolk dud into the water. Cook three minutes (the whites should be set and the yolks still creamy), then remove carefully with a slotted spoon. Drain them for a few seconds, or blot with a paper towel. Voilà: no more poor poaching. You can now perch your perfectly poached gems atop a dish like Poached Eggs with Spinach and Walnuts.

Poached Eggs with Spinach and Walnuts
Serve protein-packed eggs over a side of spinach sautéed with mushrooms, walnuts, and Gruyère cheese.
1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
1 (10-ounce) bag baby spinach, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 vertically sliced shallots
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
3/4 teaspoon chopped thyme, divided
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (8-ounce) package cremini mushrooms, quartered
3/4 cup toasted walnuts, chopped and divided
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 ounces shredded Gruyere cheese
8 cups water
2 tablespoons white vinegar
4 large eggs
1. Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon oil. Add spinach; saute 2 minutes. Remove spinach from pan; drain, cool slightly, and squeeze out excess moisture. Add remaining oil to pan. Add garlic and shallots; saute 3 minutes. Add sage, 1/2 teaspoon thyme, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, salt, and mushrooms; saute 7 minutes. Stir in spinach, 1/2 cup walnuts, red wine vinegar, and cheese; cook 30 seconds.
2. Combine 8 cups water and white vinegar in a large saucepan, and bring to a simmer. Break each egg gently into pan. Cook 3 minutes. Remove eggs using a slotted spoon. Spoon 2.3 cup mushroom mixture onto each of 4 plates. Top each serving with 1 egg. Sprinkle evenly with remaining thyme, pepper, and walnuts.

Crash is an awesome help defender and why people like Slam keep comparing TT to him. Under LB tho he's learning how that can sometimes leave your mates hanging, so this past year he's focused more on his own guy.
IMO it's much more effective from the 4 spot and why adding TT added back what we've lost.

Real Name
Date of Birth
December 31, 1969
Place of Birth
Timing is everything in business, and Jeff Jarrett, who will forever have the founding of TNA on his resume, is fully aware of that. He has been waiting for the right time to make his announcement about his new project, which is rumored to be a wrestling promotion. The belief is that he might be waiting for Wrestlemania 30 weekend to make the reveal.
March 5, 2014
There has been a lot of speculations since it was revealed that Hulk Hogan would be making a big announcement on Monday Night Raw next week in regards to Wrestlemania 30. The hot rumor right now is that the former world heavyweight champion will be announcing that Mr T and Roddy Piper are going to be involved in the pay per view with him.
March 5, 2014
A lot of fans were under the impression that the big announcement involving Jeff Jarrett and his new wrestling promotion was going to be made this week, as Toby Keith, who is reportedly a big investor in the project, teased the fans that he had a major announcement to make. It turns out that it was actually related to his music and had nothing to do with Jarrett or wrestling.
March 3, 2014
Initially, it was believed that WWE was going to make an announcement on Monday Night Raw this week, revealing that Paul Bearer was going to be inducted into the hall of fame at Wrestlemania 30. However, management opted against that. Some are stating that it was removed due to time constraints, but many find that hard to believe because the show is three hours.
February 25, 2014
Now that Hulk Hogan has been signed to a contract and an official return announcement has been made, WWE is expected to turn their attention towards Roddy Piper and begin negotiations with him on an appearance at Wrestlemania 30. The legendary performer has been pushing for a match at the pay per view, but management is unlikely to go that route.
February 24, 2014
Initially, WWE was not going to reveal the Hulk Hogan return until hours before Monday Night Raw, but management was forced to issue a press release because TMZ beat them to the punch. There are also those backstage that are questioning Vince McMahon privately about not making the announcement on television last week.
February 23, 2014
The heavily anticipated announcement from Jeff Jarrett has wrestling fans on the edge of their seats, and it looks like we are getting a couple of steps closer, as the TNA founder has revealed that he and his wife Karen Jarrett have meetings scheduled in Florida and Arizona in a few days. These are in regards to the potential new promotion.
February 20, 2014
In case you missed the announcement on Monday Night Raw this week, Darren Young and Titus ONeil will be having their grudge match on the main Elimination Chamber 2014 pay per view next Sunday night. Many were under the belief that it was going to be the kickoff match, but management decided to step things up a bit.
February 19, 2014
An announcement from Jake Roberts is expected very soon, where the WWE legend will reveal who will be inducting him into the hall of fame during Wrestlemania 30 weekend. The clue is that the choice is very obvious, which has led many to speculate that it will be Diamond Dallas Page, the man who helped turn his life around.
February 15, 2014
"I was actually a bit pissed off that I had to be there, because I had just gotten back from Texas, I was out of shape, I hadn't really unpacked my bags from being at the ranch for two months. But I was so proud and happy that I went. Way back in the day when I started out in 1990, I would have never envisioned that the business would ever turn to this or someone would have the vision to do it. Vince McMahon was standing right in front of me, about two feet away, and I slapped him on the back two times and I said, 'That's impressive.' And I left that thing being extremely impressed with what WWE has come up with now." - Steve Austin discusses his appearance during the WWE Network announcement

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Wednesday, February 6, 2013 More items for Surface Preparation
Industrial cleaning contractors have a new compact option for waterblasting from Jetstream.
The company has introduced the IX100 Series waterblasting system, featuring an external gear drive, comprehensive shutdown systems, a high-performance 93kW Tier 3 engine, high-capacity fuel tank and sealed control panel.
Jetstream's new waterblasting system offers a compact design and can operate at up to 40,000 psi, the company said.
"The IX100 Series waterblasting system culminates extensive customer research, design and engineering improvements," said Richard Scruggs, product manager at Jetstream.
"As part of our commitment to provide solutions ... Jetstream consulted with waterblast operators, industrial cleaning contractors and other industry professionals around the world to develop a range of performance and maintenance features to serve the needs of the industrial cleaning market," said Scruggs.
Fluid System, Safety Features
Jetstream UNx pumps enable cleaning contractors to perform quick and efficient pump maintenance in the field, according to the company.
The system is built on a heavy-duty, compact frame and features the UNx fluid system designed for fast conversion between 550 bar (8,000 psi) and 2750 bar (40,000 psi) operating pressures.
Additional fluid ends can be installed within minutes, allowing the IX100 Series system to cover a full range of operating pressures.
To protect against low oil pressure, high temperature, and other damage, the shutdown system includes low-supply water pressure, dirty water filter, engine fault, manual emergency stop and manual override.
Compact & Durable
"The IX100 Series is easier to fit on truck and trailers, and can be mounted inside enclosures," said Scruggs. "The compact, mobile design allows the system to fit more economically into shipping containers, making it much easier and more efficient to ship from our Houston facility."
According to the company, the heavy-duty compact frame is hot-dip galvanized to protect against corrosion in harsh environments and conditions.
The frame also features a sturdy, eight-inch channel. All moving parts on the system are fully guarded, and dual-rupture disc assemblies prevent extreme over pressurization during operation.
Optional features include an air compressor, extended-run fuel tank, inlet regulator, insulated exhaust system, bench vise, remote e-stop, lube water recirculation pump and system pressure sensor and over-pressure shutdown.
About Jetstream
Jetstream, a subsidiary of Federal Signal Corporation, manufactures industrial high-pressure waterblasting equipment operating at up to 40,000 psi for a wide range of applications, including industrial cleaning and surface preparation.
The Houston-based company offers products that include a complete line of skid- and trailer-mounted pump units, control guns, valves, hoses, replacement parts and nozzles.

RO2 Automated Crash Reporting
by Alan Wilson on Monday, February 6, 2012, under News
Now, while we sincerely hope that no-one ever gets a crash in RO2, ever, we are realistic and do know that it will happen from time to time. In the past, we've always asked for crash logs and other info – after the next RO2 update, it will be automated for you.
It should be straight-forward enough, if it happens to you – and it will make our QA department's life much simpler, too. So, don't worry, it is NOT some evil virus!
Full RO2 SDK now available – and updates!
by Alan Wilson on Tuesday, January 10, 2012, under News
We're pleased to announce the release of the modding and map making tools for Red Orchestra 2, available free to everyone that owns Red Orchestra 2. While the limited functionality preview versions of the SDK have been available to select modders for a while, this release now makes the full capabilities of the Mod SDK available to everyone. Users can now make and publish everything from simple mods and mutators, through custom maps and on to full total conversion mods.
Modders and map makers have been hard at work with the pre-release SDK and several great maps and mods are already coming together. For a preview of what is to come, check out these three total conversion mods already in production for Red Orchestra 2:
Rising Storm – http://www.risingstormgame.com/
In Country Vietnam – http://www.incountrymod.com/
Iron Europe – http://www.ironeuropegame.com/
And to check out all of the latest custom maps, mods, and content head on over to the modding section of the Tripwire Interactive forums:

RO2: State of the Game
by Alan Wilson on Friday, October 7, 2011, under News
By most business measures Red Orchestra 2 has been a smashing success for Tripwire Interactive. Within 2 days of the launch of the game it had surpassed the lifetime revenue of the original Red Orchestra that has been selling for over 5 years. The pre-sales and launch week sales of the game broke all company records, even beating out our hit game Killing Floor by a three-fold margin. But for all of this success we've not done as well as we would have liked in the most important area to us – the happiness of all of our customers. To put it bluntly, the game had a rough launch. We've been working diligently since launch to get these issues sorted and have made great progress fixing issues with matchmaking, VOIP, and stability as well as improving performance. The final major area that we've been working on is stats, player progression and ranking.
We have now fixed all of the major issues with the stats system and released an update yesterday to address these issues. Due to the problems with stats and players either earning stats and achievements that they didn't actually earn or earning stats at many times the intended rate, we are going to have to do a global reset of all stats for the game. This means all achievements, stats and player progression will be rolled back as if all players were new. This was not an easy decision for us to make, but one we felt we needed to do to preserve the integrity of the stats and ranking system, and to provide all of the players the best experience with the game over the long term. Knowing that there are people that have been playing the game for a few weeks now and will lose the stats for that time we are going to provide a special bonus to all players. For the next few weeks all players will earn double experience in Red Orchestra 2. This means if a player plays the game during the double experience period they will quickly get their experience up to where they would have been had these issues never existed. Additionally, we are going to give those playing the game during the double experience period a special achievement called "In B4 Reset". Right now this is just an achievement, but we're going to be looking at ways to give special rewards to the players that have this achievement in the future.
Thank you to all of the players that have made Red Orchestra 2 a hit so far. We've got a lot of exciting things in store with free content coming for the game so stay tuned over the coming weeks for more news on that front!

Justin Bieber to Host NBC's SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE?
Pop star Justin Bieber is having some fun teasing his fans about a rumored hosting gig on the long-running NBC sketch comedy SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE. This afternoon the singer tweeted, "maybe im hosting and performing on SNL...maybe. :)"
Last week, the 18-year-old teased on Twitter, "2013 got some big things coming.... gonna stay positive. #BELIEVE," and then added, "2013. what's coming? #snl ???"
It is rumored that Bieber will be hosting and performing on the February 16 episode of SNL, which will be a special Valentine's Day episode. He appeared as a musical guest on the show in 2010 along with host Tina Fey.
"Saturday Night Live," NBC's Emmy Award-winning late-night comedy showcase, enters its 38th season in September for another year of laughs, surprises and great performances.
Since its inception in 1975, "SNL" has launched the careers of many of the brightest comedy performers of their generation; and, as The New York Times noted on the occasion of the show's Emmy-winning 25th Anniversary special in 1999: "In defiance of both time and show business convention, 'SNL' is still the most pervasive influence on the art of comedy in contemporary culture." At the close of the century, "Saturday Night Live" placed seventh on Entertainment Weekly's list of the Top 100 Entertainers of the past fifty years.
The program has won 36 Emmy Awards and now holds the title for the most nominated television show in Emmy history with 156 nominations. "SNL" has been honored twice, in 1990 and 2009, with the prestigious George Foster Peabody Award and cited as "truly a national institution." "Saturday Night Live" was inducted into the Broadcasting Hall Of Fame by The National Association of Broadcasters, and the show continues to garner the highest ratings of any late-night television program, entertaining millions each week.
"SNL" sketches still bear repeating on Monday mornings. With live show surprises, especially those timed to the election - from Barack Obama's surprise walk-on, Hillary Clinton's performance opposite Amy Poehler, and Senator John McCain's "Weekend Update" appearance - "SNL" is making headlines and influencing the political dialogue while skewering it at the same time. Beyond politics, the show's cast of recurring characters and take on pop culture targets remains spot-on. The addition of the show's Emmy Award-winning SNL Digital Shorts continues to keep the show as current today as it was when it debuted.

Aid teams are standing ready to enter the contested Syrian city of Homs to evacuate people trapped and wounded by 10 days of fighting between rebels and forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad.
Both sides had agreed to a temporary truce, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said from Geneva.
Teams from the ICRC and its partner, the Syrian Red Crescent, were ready to go into Homs as soon as possible, pending final arrangements.
Khaled Erksoussi, head of the Red Crescent's emergency operations, said Syrian authorities approved the operation, which was supposed to begin later on Thursday.
Rabab al-Rifai, an ICRC spokesperson, said aid groups would distribute humanitarian goods such as medical kits in the neighborhoods that have endured shelling and clashes.
"Fighting has been raging for more than 10 days between the Syrian army and armed opposition groups in several neighbourhoods of Homs city," Beatrice Megevand-Roggo, the ICRC's regional head of operations, said.
"Hundreds of civilians are stuck in the old city of Homs, unable to leave and find refuge in safer areas, because of the ongoing armed confrontations."
Activists said shelling in the district of Khalidiya in Homs continued on Thursday. Witnesses said the Syrian army had also been using helicopters to target some areas of the city.
Fighting continues
Pro-opposition Homs residents said rebels and troops were still locked in fierce battles on Wednesday evening in the neighbourhoods the ICRC wanted to enter.
"They are still firing mortars and missiles into the city and there is heavy fighting in al-Qusour, al-Qarabis and al-Khalidiya," Abu Yazen, an activist, said.
Homs has been at the centre of the 15-month revolt against Assad and became the focus of world concern in February and March, when opposition-held neighbourhoods endured weeks of government bombardments and sniper fire in which hundreds of people were killed.
A Homs resident said a similar evacuation agreement was reached a few days ago but collapsed when shots were fired by Assad's forces.
The government said on Tuesday it was trying to evacuate civilians and blamed rebel fighters for obstructing efforts to get people out safely.
In other action, rebels stormed an army barracks in the northwestern province of Latakia overnight and killed at least 20 soldiers, the pro-opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said.
The rebels had captured some soldiers, including a colonel, and seized machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades, it said. Latakia, a Mediterranean coastal province and home to Syria's main port, was relatively free of warfare until the past month.
It was not possible to verify independently the reports because of tight Syrian restrictions on media access.
World leaders disagree
As the action unfolded in Syria, world leaders aired their differences over the conflict at the G20 Summit at the Mexican resort of Los Cabos.
US President Barack Obama said Assad, whose family has ruled Syria for four decades, had lost all legitimacy and that it was impossible to conceive of any solution to the violence that left him in power.
But Russian President Vladimir Putin said at the end of the summit: "We believe that nobody has the right to decide for other nations who should be brought to power, who should be removed from power."
Alarmed but apparently impotent to resolve the crisis, the outside world is deeply divided in its response to the increasingly sectarian conflict that threatens to become a proxy war for regional powers.
Western nations and their Sunni Muslim allies in the Gulf and Turkey seek Assad's overthrow but are wary of intervention, while Russia, China and Iran - Assad's strategic ally - have protected Assad from a tough international response.
The UN says more than 10,000 people have been killed by government forces during the conflict, while Syria says at least 2,600 members of the military and security forces have been killed by what it calls foreign-backed "Islamist terrorists".
International efforts to halt the violence are deadlocked because Russia and China, which hold veto power in the UN Security Council, have blocked tougher action against Assad.
They say the solution must come through political dialogue, an approach most of the Syrian opposition rejects.
But a peace plan proposed by international envoy Kofi Annan has all but collapsed and the West is unwilling to intervene militarily, as it did in Libya last year to seal the fate of Muammar Gaddafi.
Dire situation
The situation has now become so dire that a UN observer force, orginally deployed to monitor a ceasefire, halted patrols on Saturday after convoys were shot at and attacked by crowds.
Rami Abdelrahman, SOHR head, said that in the Latakia barracks raid, fighting went on from Tuesday late until just before dawn on Wednesday. Two buildings were destroyed, he said.
In assaults against opposition strongholds across the country, soldiers and militias loyal to Assad killed 19 people
on Wednesday, he said.
Six fatalities were on the outskirts of Damascus, which the government has shelled in an attempt to claw back ground lost to the rebels who had set up their own checkpoints.
Activists in central Hama city said the army shelled Arbaeen neighbourhood and troops were preparing to the storm the area.
Also on Wednesday, a convoy carrying an Italian journalist was hit by two roadside bombs, killing a Syrian policeman and wounding three others, while it was travelling to the southern town of Deraa, the Italian news agency ANSA said.
Claudio Accogli, an ANSA correspondent, was unhurt.
What began as a peaceful protest movement has developed into a civil war between the armed factions, marked by a campaign of repression by Assad's forces that has been internationally condemned for its ferocity.
Despite Western diplomatic and moral support for the rebels, the large, well-equipped government forces have them outgunned, making a swift resolution to the conflict an unlikely prospect.

Preview: historic aircraft show in Gatineau, Quebec
Jun 03, 2009 — Aviation and history buffs may be interested in events on tap this year from Vintage Wings of Canada. The organization near Gatineau, Quebec has an extensive collection of still-flying, restored planes, including legendary World War II aircraft like the Spitfire, Hurricane and Tiger Moth. Two open house events this year will celebrate classic airplanes. The first is Saturday in Gatineau. Aircraft from the Vintage Wings collection will also appear at this year's air show in Geneseo, NY in mid-July. In May, Lucy Martin toured Vintage Wings of Canada with founder Michael Potter, a pilot and retired executive. Afterwards, she got more personal impressions from Communications Manager Dave O'Malley. That day featured sedate work inside the hanger. But O'Malley says the place is busy this month.

TEAMS: New York Yankees, Minnesota Twins, Arizona Diamondbacks, Seattle Mariners, Boston Red Sox
The Greatest
Mariano "Mo" Rivera is the best closer in Major League Baseball history and is arguably the best pitcher in New York Yankees history. His legacy is filled with clutch performances. If there were a baseball definition of "reliability," "Mo's" face would lay next to the word. For the past 18 years, there has been on rock of the Yankees pitching staff. That rock is Mariano Rivera.
"Big Mo" was recently injured, and his 2012 season has come to an end. At the age of 42, many will question whether Rivera will ever pitch again. Well, he has made his feelings clear and says he'll be back. If Mo says so, I believe it. With that said, let's take a look back at his fabulous career. Here's Mariano Rivera's top five moments:
5. MAY 17, 1996 – Mariano Rivera gets his first Major League save. It is not often mentioned that "Mo" was originally called up in 1995, as a starting pitcher. He was moved to the bullpen late in '95. In 1996, Rivera was primarily used as a set up man for closer John Wetteland. On May 17th, the California Angels were in New York and Rivera recorded the first of his 608 career saves. Pitching one inning, Rivera gave up one hit, struck out one and surrendered no runs. By recording the last out, he lowered his season ERA to 0.89.
4. SEPTEMBER 19, 2011 – "Big Mo" records career save number 602, passing Trevor Hoffman and becoming the MLB all-time save leader. With the Minnesota Twins in town, Rivera saved and closed out a 4-2 ballgame in typical Rivera style. Pitching the 9th inning, "Mo" faced three batters, recording three outs, giving up no hits while striking out one. Of the thirteen pitches thrown, nine were strikes.
3. OCTOBER 30, 2001 – Not much needs to be said about this outing. This was simply vintage Mariano Rivera. Facing the Arizona Diamondbacks, in Game 3 of the World Series, Rivera was given the ball to start the 8th inning with a 2-1 lead. Rivera pitched two perfect innings and struck out four batters. "Mo" threw 21 strikes out of 29 pitches. Rivera gets the save and Roger Clemens gets the win.
Complete Box Score and Play-by-Play from retrosheet.org
2. OCTOBER 4, 1995 – This was the beginning of Mariano's post-season greatness. As a rookie and pitching in his first post-season game, Rivera took the mound in the ALDS, against the Seattle Mariners. "Mo" received the call in the 12th inning as Yankees' closer John Wetteland gave up a go-ahead solo home run to Ken Griffey Jr., and a single to Edgar Martinez. With the Yankees down 5-4, Rivera took the ball and struck out Jay Buhner, on four pitches, for the final out of the inning. The Yankees were able to tie the game in the bottom of the 12th on a Ruben Sierra double to left that scored Jorge Posada. Rivera pitched a perfect 13th and 14th innings. In the 14th, "Mo" struck out all three batters while throwing 12 of 14 pitches for strikes. In the 15th, with the game still tied, Rivera got Griffey to fly out to center. After giving up back to back singles to Edgar Martinez and Buhner, Mariano recorded the final two outs of the inning, sending the game to the bottom of the 15th tied at 5. With one out in the bottom of the 15th, Jim Leyritz clubbed a walk-off home run giving the Yankees and Rivera the win. In total, Rivera pitched 3.1 scoreless innings, giving up two hits while striking out five. Out of 49 pitches, Mariano threw 35 strikes.
1. OCTOBER 16, 2003 – This is the "crown jewel" of Rivera's career. Game 7 of the ALCS against the "despised" and rival Boston Red Sox. It doesn't get more dramatic than this. Top of the 9th, tie ball game 5-5, the Sox vs. the Yanks for the American League Pennant. Mariano Rivera takes the mound against a heavy hitting Boston club. 9th inning, no problem… "Mo" allows one runner, Jason Varitek, to reach base on a one out single, nothing else. As the Yanks fail to score in the bottom of the inning, Rivera comes out for the 10th. Staring at the heart of the order, Rivera freezes Nomar Garciaparra for the third strike and the first out. Next, "Mo" gets Manny Ramirez to ground out to first. With two outs, David Ortiz doubles. With the potential go-ahead run on second, Mariano gets Kevin Millar to pop out to shortstop. Again, the Yankees fail to score in the bottom. Mariano comes out for his third inning…Strikeout, ground out, strikeout…After three strong innings in relief, Rivera gave up two hits, no walks, no runs, and stuck out three. 33 of Rivera's 48 pitches were strikes, and that's all it took. Aaron Boone hit a lead-off home run to send the Yankees to the World Series. The Yankees win and Mariano Rivera's "crown jewel" of a game is cemented in baseball history.

`Not living for his own wants, but for God? For what God? And could one say anything more senseless than what he said? He said that one must not live for one's own wants, that is, that one must not live for what we understand, what we are attracted by, what we desire - but must live for something incomprehensible, for God, whom no one can understand nor even define. What of it? Didn't I understand those senseless words of Fiodor's? And understanding them, did I doubt their truth? Did I think them stupid, obscure, inexact? .
Levin had often noticed in discussions between the most intelligent people that after enormous efforts, and an enormous expenditure of logical subtleties and words, the disputants finally arrived at the realization that what they had so long been struggling to prove to one another had long ago, from the beginning of the argument, been known to both,

, but that they liked different things, and would not define what they liked for fear of its being attacked. He had often had the experience of suddenly grasping in a discussion what it was his opponent liked and at once liking it too, and immediately he found himself agreeing, and then all arguments fell away as useless.
We have heard time and time again that the evidence reflects the payment to defendants of money. The president had knowledge that these funds were being paid and these were funds collected for the 1972 presidential campaign. For a moment she regained her self-possession, and realized that the thin peasant who had come in wearing a long nankeen overcoat, with a button missing from it, was the fireman, that he was looking at the thermometer, that the wind and snow had burst in after him through the door; but then everything grew confused again.... That peasant with the long waist took to gnawing something within the wall; the little crone started stretching her legs the whole length of the car and filled it with a black cloud; then there was a dreadful screeching and banging, as though someone were being rent into pieces; then a red blaze blinded her eyes, and, at last, everything was screened by a wall.
And she began talking to Kitty. Awkward as it was for Levin to withdraw now, it would still have been easier for him to perpetrate this awkwardness than to remain all the evening and see Kitty, who glanced at him now and then and avoided his eyes. If his servants oppose me, I shall threaten them off with these pistols. But wouldn't it be better to prevent my coming in contact with them, or their master? And you could do it so easily.
Observe, Glaucon, that there will be no injustice in compelling our philosophers to have a care and providence of others; we shall explain to them that in other States, men of their class are not obliged to share in the toils of politics: and this is reasonable, for they grow up at their own sweet will, and the government would rather not have them. Being self-taught, they cannot be expected to show any gratitude for a culture which they have never received.

`"There's this to do,'' thundered Heathcliff, ``that your master's mad; and should he last another month, I'll have him to an asylum. And how the devil did you come to fasten me out, you toothless hound? Don't stand muttering and mumbling there. Must we not acknowledge,

Take the quality of passion or spirit; --it would be ridiculous to imagine that this quality, when found in States, is not derived from the individuals who are supposed to possess it, e.g. the Thracians, Scythians, and in general the northern nations; and the same may be said of the love of knowledge, which is the special characteristic of our part of the world,

Feast Your Eyes on Interesting Wild Turkey FactsThe domestic, farm-raised turkey most Americans eat on Thanksgiving Day is nothing like the wild turkey feasted on by the Pilgrims and Native Americans. With Thankgiving Day approaching, here are a few facts about the tasty game bird chosen as the main course for the first feast: Wild turkeys, now almost 7 million strong, were almost extinct in the early 1900s. Wild turkeys can run up to 25 mph. Usain Bolt, the world's fastest-known human, averaged 23.35 mph during his world-record, 100 meters. Wild turkeys were argued by Benjamin Franklin to be a more appropriate choice than bald eagles as our national bird. Wild turkeys rarely weigh more than 24 pounds while domestic turkeys regularly grow to more than 40 pounds. Wild turkeys, which have as many as 6,000 feathers, can fly as fast as 55 mph. Most domestic turkeys are too heavy to fly. Wild turkeys have much sharper vision than humans and can view their entire surroundings simply by turning their head. Wild turkeys can make at least 28 different vocalizations, with gobbles heard up to one mile away. Wild turkeys roost (sleep) in trees, often as high as 50 feet off the ground. - National Wild Turkey Federation Become a University of Illinois Extension Master GardenerThe University of Illinois Extension is looking for individuals who have an interest in gardening, horticulture and natural resources to apply for the 2013 Master Gardener Training Program.
