The Story of Jabulani
Once upon a time – in 1997, actually – a young elephant found himself stuck in the silt mud of a dam. After attempts to free him, his mother and the rest of the herd were forced to leave the 3-month old calf to the elements. And that might have been the end of another story in the African bushveld, where only the fittest survives.
Enter Lente Roode – owner of Camp Jabulani and founder of the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre. She took in the exhausted, malnourished and very frightened calf, and offered him sanctuary at the Centre. They named him Jabulani – the isiZulu word for "happiness" or "rejoice".
The prognosis for Jabulani's survival was not good – elephant experts were skeptical, since it was almost impossible to replicate elephant mother's milk. Lente would not be discouraged however and, together with veterinarian Dr Peter Rogers, a formula was developed and Jabulani was slowly nurtured back to health.
Having taken Jabulani in, Lente was faced with the daunting task of raising him. Raising wild animals presents certain challenges, and elephants are no exception. Of all the animals, elephants are perhaps the most "human" in terms of their growth, development and longevity. However, they are unique in their thought processes, feelings and body language and especially those senses that are beyond the scope of human understanding.
Just like human babies, elephant calves are easily bored and need plenty of stimulation. Providing them with a change in surroundings – a muddy earth pit to wallow in when it is very hot, and lots of space – is essential. In elephant terms, space offers the freedom to roam far and wide, just as they would in the wild.
Lente was advised to assign more than one person to care for Jabulani, as elephants bond very strongly with their caregivers, and he would pine dreadfully if his "companion" were to leave. Besides his human "mothers", Jabulani also had an animal surrogate mother in the form of a hand-raised sheep named "Skaap". Skaap kept him company in his enclosure at night. Sadly, the sheep was found dead in the enclosure one morning – possibly as a result of her charge cuddling a little too close. Lente then made the decision that it was time to prepare Jabulani for introduction into the wild.
Flippie, one of the guides at the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre, was chosen to take care of and keep Jabulani company while out in the bush. Man and elephant were together day and night – walking up to 20 km a day, romping and splashing about in the rivers and dams, eating together (albeit different food!), and taking afternoon naps together in the shade. Flippie was armed at all times, as Jabulani was vulnerable to predators.
Time passed and, all too soon, Jabulani turned five. It became clear that he needed elephant companionship. However, having been unsuccessfully introduced to a herd of wild elephants on Kapama Private Game Reserve, it seemed as if Jabulani preferred the company of humans to that of elephants!
A unique opportunity to provide Jabulani with a family of his own presented itself when Lente learned of a herd of 12 trained elephants in Zimbabwe whose lives were in danger. War veterans, who threatened the lives of all those living on the property, had invaded the game farm on which the herd was located.
In March 2002 a massive rescue mission was launched just as Zimbabwe was preparing for election. Just two days before the election took place; Lente bought the elephants and they – together with their keepers – were relocated to the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre in South Africa. Left with the overwhelming custodianship of 13 beautiful, but mammoth animals, the next logical step was the creation of a camp to support them. It was Lente's intention that this camp would attract travellers from around the world to experience the extraordinary impact of interacting with elephants. Camp Jabulani was born.
The day dawned that Jabulani was to meet his new family. Onlookers held their collective breath as the young, lone elephant faced the herd. In the silence the herd's matriarch, Tokwe emitted a low rumble and then slowly approached Jabulani ahead of the herd. She laid her trunk gently on his head, embracing him, and in that instant adopted Jabulani as her own.
Jabulani is now very much part of this close-knit family. He is their mascot, and their affection for him is quite obvious. But aside from his need to be at the front of the queue whenever the elephants take visitors out on elephant-back safaris, Jabulani does know his place in the herd. Today he is a strapping young bull elephant, and it is difficult to conceive that he is the same animal that arrived at the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre.
Jabulani is a remarkable elephant. Having survived against all odds, he has integrated equally well with humans and animals, and has enriched the lives of all who have met him. He has entertained many tourists with his antics, and has become a sought-after celebrity both locally and internationally.
To this day, Jabulani is a resolute, somewhat stubborn, yet highly spirited creature, and the kinship and similarity between him and his rescuer, Lente Roode, is clearly evident.

Baker to lead Houston's Super Bowl bid
Former U.S. Secretary of State James Baker will lead Houston's bid to host the Super Bowl in 2017.

Friday injury report for divisional playoffs
Here is the Friday injury report for the divisional playoffs, showing to what degree injured players participated in their teams' practices.
Key matchup: Texans passing game vs. Patriots pass 'D'
The Texans' key to avenging a Week 14 embarrassment and advancing to the AFC title game will be QB Matt Schaub.
Ryan, Falcons understand situation they're in
The Falcons and QB Matt Ryan are aware of the pressures they face this weekend in what should be a strong divisional slate of games.
Tuesday's 60-second rant: Defining moment for Texans, Schaub
The Texans-Patriots rematch should be more competitive this time around. For the Texans to pull the upset, Matt Schaub must rise to the occasion.
Texans' offense still uneven, but making progress
One offensive TD by the Texans is unlikely to cut it in Foxborough Sunday, but at least the group showed signs of breaking through in the wild-card round victory over the Bengals.
Harris was put on injured reserve Wednesday with an injury to his right big toe.||||||| Harris dislocated his right big toe on Nov. 1 at Baltimore and missed four games. He aggravated the injury in the first quarter Sunday at Kansas City in his first action since getting hurt and medical tests this week revealed bone and ligament damage. Tyler Polumbus will replace Harris in the starting lineup as he did during the month he was sidelined.
Harris is questionable for Sunday's game against Dallas with a shoulder injury.||||||| Tyler Polumbus took over for Harris in the second half of last week's game against Oakland.
According to the Denver Post, Harris was fined $5,000 for his actions during Monday's 41-7 loss at New England.||||||| Harris' unnecessary roughness penalty occurred while New England was recovering an Andre Hall fumble in the first quarter.
According to the Denver Post, Harris will be out four to six weeks after undergoing back surgery Wednesday.||||||| The procedure was meant to alleviate pain caused by pinched nerves along Harris' spinal cord.

The third-round pick is expected to spend his rookie year learning from veteran left tackle Matt Lepsis.
The Broncos signed Harris, a third-round pick, to a four-year deal Thursday.||||||| Harris, an offensive tackle, was the 70th overall pick in April. A four-year starter at Notre Dame, the 6-foot-5, 292-pound Harris started his final 37 games at left tackle after switching over from right tackle, a position he played as a freshman.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- Dwight Howard lost perhaps his last game with the Orlando Magic, declaring before a 122-111 loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night that he won't surrender his right to become a free agent this summer.
Howard had 22 points and 12 rebounds on the eve of the NBA trade deadline, and his refusal to give the Magic the ultimate assurance he'll be back may weaken Orlando's hesitation to trade their superstar.
The trade deadline is 3 p.m. Thursday.
Tony Parker had 31 points and 12 assists, and Tim Duncan had 21 points and 13 rebounds as the Spurs closed a seven-game homestand by hosting the NBA's biggest drama.
Parker, averaging 29.8 points in his last four games, was serenaded by chants of "M-V-P! M-V-P!" in the closing minutes.

you have vivid dreams about lifting. I swear, I have the weirdest dreams about lifting. Last night, I had a dream that I had to complain to the manager about the gym not having any squat racks. I also dreamt that I was bench pressing in a liquor store once. Anyone else have these weird lifting related dreams?

Otherwise.. I always daydream/dream/or visualize lifting... the dreams are mostly about lifting something that is 10-25 lbs more then I've done before (setting PRs)... or lifting the Atlas stones overhead - I don't know why overhead...
And when I go for walks with the family, I'm always daydreaming about lifting the big stones we walk by - I see both successes and failures... it's gotten so bad, that the kids & wife start laughing at me... the kids think it's kinda cool.. the wife wonders if I'm obsessed... I tell her it's better then being addicted to gambling or drugs...

Dust out the vagina, and keep on lifting.
i dont have lifting dreams much but i do have dreams where i cheat on my diet all the time when in cutting expecially during the beginning of the cut
Way down this road, in a gym far away, a young man was once heard to say, "I've repped high and I've repped low, No matter what I do my legs won't grow."
He tried leg extensions, leg curls, and leg presses, too. Trying to cheat these sissy workouts he'd do. From the corner of the gym where the big men train, Through a cloud of chalk and the midst of pain.
Where the big iron rides high and threatens lives, Where the noise is made with big forty fives. A deep voice bellowed as he wrapped his knees, A very big man with legs like trees.
Laughing as he snatched another plate from the stack, Chalking his hands and monstrous back, Said "Boy stop lying and don't say you've forgotten, Trouble with you is you ain't been SQUATTIN"
i never dream about lifting.Strange.

SHHHHH --- We don't talk about that God anymore.
Can you kill a God?
Yes, oddly, but you have to create it first. The Southern God of Slavery took nearly 50 years to create -- to entrench into Southern minds, Southern laws, and Southern culture.
Death of the Southern God
|Lee said his God "knew and intended" slavery to be painful .
Slaves were being punished by God
Despite the myth of kindess, Lee was a stunningly cruel slave master, according to his own slave ledgers.
Well, God silenced opposition in the SOUTH — with the help of the draconian "anti-incendiary" laws, which set jail and possible torture (whipping) as the punishment for those who wrote openly, or even owned books, that questioned slavery. See the case of the North Carolina preacher arrested for owning a book that questioned slavery and which predicted the oncoming Civil War. He was arrested for OWNING the book, simply owning it.
He was found guilty, and the judge ordered whipping and jail as punishment. He was allowed to appeal, posted bond, and promptly left the South.
Those preachers and people who were against slavery faced physical torture and jail if they spoke out against it. Rather quickly, those who opposed slavery learned to shut their mouths, at least in public, or saw fit to leave the South.
This is easily the most overlooked aspect of US history -- the violent oppression of free and religious speech in the South, concerning slavery. That is why the "GOD OF SLAVERY" had no opposition. Most people today assume there was freedom of speech -- surely freedom of religious speech - before the Civil War, in the South. No, there was not.
Contrary to the nonsense about the North getting rid of slavery because of climate, actually slave owners there were shamed --accused, exposed, humiliated. Public shaming, and voting, stopped slavery in the North, not the temperature outside. Slave owners were not the paragons of virtue or icons of society as newspapers became more common. There was no law stopping newspapers from vilifying slave owners, exposing the whippings, the sales of children, and all the other horrors.
Stopping free religious speech corrupted everything. With religion unable to fill its moral role, unable to challenge evil, there was no power to stop slavery. Religion became SUPPORTIVE of not just slavery, but even supported the torture of slaves.
A Southern "best-seller" was Slavery is Ordained of God by Pastor Ross, and while we don't know if Davis and Lee both had copies, many of the things they said were essentially the same things in that best selling book. I would love to have a list of books that Davis and Lee owned, I bet Ross's book is in there.
The Bible, it said, condoned not only slavery, but the torture of slaves. This is what Lee believed, and said so in his letter to his wife, though he used "painful discipline they must endure" instead of the word torture. Slaves "must endure" painful discipline, Lee wrote, because God intended it. According to Lee's own handwritten slave ledgers, he regularly had wayward slaves whipped, in fact, he screamed at slaves as he had them whipped, according to newspaper and eyewitness accounts
The Bible also implies that slave women must submit to the master's sexual demands. This is another scripture widely known at the time — but never mentioned now. You can bet the men knew of it. Another Lee fact -- as time when on, the children born at Arlington were "increasingly WHITE" according to Lee biographer Elizabeth Pryor, who was allowed to study Lee's slave ledgers. She claimed "there is no evidence" Lee fathered his own slaves --but implied he had to know who was fathering the "nearly white" slaves that Lee wrote about.
And remember, no one could preach otherwise. No doubt some did anyway, not every state was the same, not every part of every state was the same. Still, the laws were there, and the will to enforce them was there. Southern leaders did not have to whip many white preachers for the others to learn quickly,
As a result, most preachers in the South simply avoided the topic. Slavery, though widespread particularly among the religious and wealthy, was ironically NOT spoken of much at church. The rabid defenses of slavery did not take place at church, but in the books, speeches and letters from slave owners.
If you preached to Blacks, you had to have a special license from the government — and you had to agree only to preach obedience.
So slave owners were eager to "give the slave religion" because the only religion slaves could legally hear about was for total and absolute obedience — even to the violent, sadistic, and sexually perverse slave owners.
When you hear of Lee or Jackson giving their slaves "religious education" — as if it were out of the goodness of the master's heart — this is what they were teaching. Its ironic that so many people now give credit to slave owners for "religious education" to slaves. They didn't care about the slaves -- they wanted docile obedient slaves to do the work, and in many cases, give the slave owner pleasure.
Davis said slavery was a "Divine Gift of God" and that "God delivered the Negro unto us." Davis, like Lee, is often portrayed as kind to his slaves or anti-slavery. Unfortunately, his family did not keep his slave ledgers, as the Lee family did. But Davis was on a mission to spread slavery, and claimed the resistance to the spread of slavery was "the intolerable grievance" that mandated secession. And the first thing Davis and other Confederate leaders did in Montgomery, was to demand slavery be spread into Kansas, or promised war. See the Southern Five Ultimatums, in Richmond and other Southern papers.
If you believe -- or pretend to believe -- slavery is ordained by God, and you will whip women, sell children, burn or hang slaves who resist, there is no line you won't cross. Demanding the spread of slavery or promising war -- as the South did -- is small potatoes. Frederick Douglass escaped his plantation after he saw the owner --his father -- whip a woman to death, while he shouted scriptures. We have failed to teach the rabid violent and cruel nature of Southern leaders, which is a serious mistake.
Slavery was "sealed by the blood of Christ." The "great moral truth" that "God ordained slavery" was the very basis of the the Confederacy said its vice president, Stephens said. Slavery was not an aspect of the Confederacy, it was the fundamental principle. That's according to his famous "Cornerstone" Speech. He bragged that the CSA was the only nation on earth founded on the principle of chattel slavery of blacks. Other nations had allowed slavery at times, after wars, for example. But the Confederacy was founded on "the revealed will" of Almighty God for white man to enslave the black race -- because God was punishing blacks for sins in the Old Testament !
The Confederacy was essentially a government by the religious leaders, for the religious leaders. They bragged about it at the time, though our history books have white washed that aspect of it.
There was little distinction between the government and God — much like radical Islam. The religion in the South, however, was not nearly as oppressive to women, white women anyway. It is because women were not as oppressed in the South, in fact, that led to an amelioration of cruelty to slaves. While Robert E. Lee accused those who spoke against slavery of "trying to bring down the American Church." he still had to pacify his wife, and justify his whippings to her. There would be no whipping slaves to death at Arlington, Lee had to answer for the whippings. He could bedazzle his wife with religion only so far (he was not religious he regularly wrote very sexy letters to a variety of women, for example)…
Notice, however, that once Lincoln, Sherman, Grant, and the Union Army won — not one Southern leader ever said such nonsense again.
Not Lee; not Davis; not Bedford Forrest. Not Debow. Not any preacher; not any civil war veteran.
Not the most extreme; not the most timid. In fact, even private citizens, Southern newspapers, Southern books, thereafter never said God told them to enslave Blacks or anyone else.
One day their entire lives, their status, their reason for doing everything — was God telling them to enslave Blacks. But then Lee surrenders — and they never mention that God again.
Even in their private letters, there was a drastic change. Their private letters before the war was very much about God's wish for slavery, and the justification for torture of slaves. But none of that -- NONE -- appears in any letter I know of after the war.
No more mention of this God that ordained slavery. No more insistence that they were doing the work of the Lord to spread slavery.
No one said the South had to give up their God of Slavery. The only condition to end the war was for the South to stop fighting it, and recognize the government in Washington.
But Southerners en masse, without communication, dumped this God of Slavery. Totally, instantly, and forever. Why? Because their God lost. That is how they saw it, they realized, really, their God was fake. They still talked and wrote and believed blacks were inferior, they still believed whites were the superior race and that blacks should not vote or intermingle with whites. That would last another 150 years. But no more about slavery being ordained by God.
It's as if a light switch was flipped, and suddenly, no more God of slavery. What they screamed from the rooftops one day, they did not even whisper in private the next.
Lincoln's lasting effect is not just the 13th Amendment… his most lasting effect was forever exposing the God of Slavery as a fake…. It's unthinkable that anyone anywhere will again use the Christian faith to justify slavery. But slavery was very much an unsettled religious issue, until the South lost. Had the South won, slavery was going into Kansas, California, and Cuba, according to Davis, who was already trying to spread slavery there before the war..
All other things may change — we may see the U.S. fall into disunion, we may see all kinds of havoc and discord. Lincoln's efforts to keep the U.S. together may only last 200 years or less.
But his efforts to discredit the God of slavery will very likely be enduring.

|Ferrofluids belonging to the series NixFe1 xFe2O4 were synthesised by two different procedures—one by standard co-precipitation techniques, the other by co-precipitation for synthesis of particles and dispersion aided by high-energy ball milling with a view to understand the effect of strain and size anisotropy on the magneto-optical properties of ferrofluids. The birefringence measurements were carried out using a standard ellipsometer. The birefringence signal obtained for chemically synthesised samples was satisfactorily fitted to the standard second Langevin function. The ball-milled ferrofluids showed a deviation and their birefringence was enhanced by an order. This large enhancement in the birefringence value cannot be attributed to the increase in grain size of the samples, considering that the grain sizes of sample synthesised by both modes are comparable; instead, it can be attributed to the lattice strain-induced shape anisotropy(oblation) arising from the high-energy ball-milling process. Thus magnetic-optical (MO) signals can be tuned by ball-milling process, which can find potential applications.
|Superparamagnetic nanocomposites based on Y-Fe2O3 and sulphonated polystyrene were synthesised by ion-exchange process and the structural characterisation has been carried out using X-ray diffraction technique. Doping of cobalt in to the Y-Fe2O3 lattice was effected in situ and the doping was varied in the atomic percentage range 1–10. The optical absorption studies show a band gap of 2.84 eV, which is blue shifted by 0.64 eV when compared to the reported values for the bulk samples (2.2 eV). This is explained on the basis of weak quantum confinement. Further size reduction can result in a strong confinement, which can yield transparent magnetic nanocomposites because of further blue shifting. The band gap gets red shifted further with the addition of cobalt in the lattice and this red shift increases with the increase in doping. The observed red shift can be attributed to the strain in the lattice caused by the anisotropy induced by the addition of cobalt. Thus, tuning of bandgap and blue shifting is aided by weak exciton confinement and further red shifting of the bandgap is assisted by cobalt doping.
|Ferrofluids belonging to the series, Ni x Fe1-x Fe2O4 and Zn x Fe1-x Fe2O4, were synthesized using cold co-precipitation. Liquid films of these ferrofluids were prepared by encapsulating the ferrofluids in between two optically smooth and ultrasonically cleaned glass plates. Magnetic field induced laser transmission through these ferrofluid films has been investigated. Magnetic field values can be calibrated in terms of output laser power in the low field region in which the variation is linear. This set up can be used as a cheap optical gaussmeter in the low field regime. Using the same set-up, the saturation magnetization of the sample used can also be calculated with a sample that is pre-characterized. Hence both magnetization of the sample, as well as applied magnetic field can be sensed and calculated with a precalibrated sample.

Abilene man charged with theft of $56K in property, pleads guilty
Published On: Jan 08 2013 12:00:20 PM CST
An Abilene man charged with stealing several thousand dollars in property from a business pleaded guilty Monday.
In November 2011, police said they caught 28-year-old George Rodriguez and his accomplice, 35-year-old Troy Twigg, stealing $56,000 of property from a south side business.
Police arrested the pair and charged them with theft.
Twigg pleaded guilty to the charge in 2011 and was sentenced to three years in a state jail.
Though scheduled for a jury trial on Monday, Rodriguez pleaded guilty instead and was sentenced to 14 months in jail.

Flood Car Surfaces at Mossy Toyota Pacific Beach, Pawns off Defective Vehicle then holds Consumer in Suspended Arbitration Purgatory nearly 7 Years...
Mossy Toyota bought this car for $3,200. from previous owner trade in. Shameful...
YouTube Video (Here)
SIGN PETITION @ Change.org (Here)
"Mossy's own internal records indicate they were aware of the vibration issue following the trade in of the previous owner. They said they would fix it when they were selling me the car and tried twice afterwards at their expense of several hundred dollars to no avail. Then they were done with me, telling me that's the way it is. They did not offer a like vehicle, or allow me to return it, actually snickering at me at that request on one occasion. I made multiple attempts for a resolve in person, several repeated phone calls... I even hand delivered a written statement and request in addition to contacting the Better Business Bureau. Allot good that did. In the end they wanted nothing to do with me. What kind of business operates that way? Is it that hard to take care of your customers? To do the right thing? I guess a business can just turn their back when contracts include an arbitration clause, because it shows. For over Forty (40) days I pleaded with them. Mossy don't care...AND THEN SO. I hired a highly respectable forensic automobile expert (Rocco Avellini) and he advised me of what I'm dealing with. He concluded it was a previously submerged vehicle that included arching in the electrical system and was unsafe to drive that anyone in the car industry should find obvious. In addition, it had been previously rear ended in a collision. The car has not been driven since, just sitting collecting dust. I immediately afterwards hired an attorney after I was basically given the proverbial middle finger from Mossy Toyota of Pacific Beach.If that is not Fraud my friends, then I do not know what is. The advertised value at the time of purchase becomes essentially zero, scrap metal. Ripoff.Mossy don't care..."
I had been a loyal customer many years prior to this purchase and was treated like gold the whole time. That gold turned to manure in a heartbeat... Do not do business with folks that need an arbitration clause to shield them from wrongdoing. You will have no chance in court and the arbitration process is unfair and is in the "repeat players" favor. It is a rigged game.
My used care nightmare has lasted over seven years! 7 Years of Hell.

Favre '99.9 percent' sure he'll retire a Packer
[size=13pt]Favre '99.9 percent' sure he'll retire a Packer
GREEN BAY, Wis. - Although Brett Favre says he's "99.9 percent" sure he'll retire as a Green Bay Packer, he can't rule out the possibility he might finish his career with another team.
But before Cheesehead Nation begins trembling at the thought of seeing Favre in some shade of teal -- or, worse yet, wearing Vikings horns -- note that the 36-year-old said he'd only consider playing elsewhere if the Packers decided they wanted to rebuild without him.
In a taped interview scheduled to air on the HBO show "Costas Now" on Wednesday night, Favre was asked if he might be tempted to play for a team that appeared to be only a quarterback away from Super Bowl contention.
"I can't say it wouldn't happen," Favre said, according to an advance transcript. "If it comes to a point where they do start over, and I feel like I can play and they say, 'Brett, if you want to go somewhere else, go ahead, but we've got to start over, it's time for us to rebuild. It just doesn't make sense, so do what you want.' If I got the itch at some point, I can't say no."
Asked on Wednesday about that comment, which could be interpreted as a position shift for Favre, who previously maintained he'd rather retire than play for another team, Favre said he wasn't trying to send a message to fans that they should start preparing for his departure.
"I said, 'I've always said I'll play in Green Bay, love to play in Green Bay, loyal, this is home to me.' And I still believe that," Favre said.
But if the Packers didn't want him back and he was just sitting at home next offseason?
"Would I consider playing for someone else? I guess I would," Favre said. "Do I think that'll happen? I'm 99.9 percent sure that that won't happen. So, that's it."
Packers coach Mike McCarthy said he has no indication that Favre would like to play anywhere else.
"If I was a betting man, I'd bet he retires a Green Bay Packer," McCarthy said.
Of course, Midwestern sports fans might be wary of such guarantees from big-time athletes. Michael Jordan said he was 99.9 percent sure he wouldn't play again after his second retirement from the Chicago Bulls in 1999, then played for the Washington Wizards in 2001-03.
And Favre has paid attention to a situation involving another veteran quarterback, Steve McNair, who found a new starting job with a potential contender in Baltimore after the Tennessee Titans let him go. Favre and McNair share an agent, James "Bus" Cook.
"They're saying that he's the piece that they've been missing," Favre said. "Time will tell, but I think that he is very happy with that situation."
But Favre said he doesn't consider his situation in Green Bay, where the Packers are trying to improve on last year's 4-12 record with a youth-oriented roster, comparable to what happened with McNair in Tennessee -- where the Titans at one point barred him from entering their practice facility.
"I haven't been kicked out of this building yet, so there's a little different situation there," Favre said.
Although Favre admits he has concerns about how the Packers' two rookie starting guards will hold up against the Chicago Bears' ultra-quick defensive front in the opener at Lambeau Field on Sunday, he's generally excited about starting the season.
"I'm not going to sit here and say I don't mind getting hit every week, play after play," Favre said. "I'm not going to say that. But I have to admit I'm very optimistic about this season until something else happens, until a point where I say, 'There's no need to be optimistic anymore.' But I like the way we do things."
And he says he's happy he decided to return to the Packers.
"I have no idea what's going to happen this season, but so far I've been energetic in camp and happy to be here," Favre said. "I think the rest of the guys are that way. Do I think we'll struggle at times? Absolutely. But my first year here, not knowing any different, as I look back we went 9-7 and got on a six-game win streak and we weren't very good. We were well-coached, but we were not very good, and we somehow found a way to get it done.
"Do I think this team can do it? Absolutely."
"If at first you don't succeed, parachuting is not for you"
Re: Favre '99.9 percent' sure he'll retire a Packer
I do NOT want to see Favre retire anywhere but Green Bay. How are we going to get all of our interceptions if he leaves?
Re: Favre '99.9 percent' sure he'll retire a Packer
i wouldnt worry as i dont think he will make it the whole season and say to himself " why the hell did i come back to this mess "...I BLEED THE COLOR PURPLE

Re: Favre '99.9 percent' sure he'll retire a Packer
He would leave in a heartbeat if a winning team called him up and needed a QB.
He's just afraid to say it because he knows that Packer fans are already walking the line between retarded and insane...and who knows what they will do if he leaves.
Re: Favre '99.9 percent' sure he'll retire a Packer
is this the last year on his contract, does anyone know, as he is making 10 million a year and there isnt another team out there that will pay that for the all time int. leaderI BLEED THE COLOR PURPLE

Thanks to Josdin for the awesome sig!
Re: Favre '99.9 percent' sure he'll retire a Packer
thanks for the letting me know that, but i will bet that this will be his last year as he will not play the whole season as it is a no win situation there for him and like i mentioned before, no other team will even come close to paying that much for him..I BLEED THE COLOR PURPLE
Re: Favre '99.9 percent' sure he'll retire a Packer
It just wouldn't seem right for him to play for any other team.
It would be like CC playing for the Dolphins his final year.
(I realize he wasn't a Vike his entire carrer, but that's where he made his name)

With the signing of Heather Schmidt, a second volleyball stand-out from Great Falls MT, Dawson Community College volleyball head coach John Marble has added more talent to his Buccaneer roster.
"I am thrilled to welcome Heather into the Buccaneer Volleyball family." Marble said. A home school student, Schmidt feels the same. "I chose Dawson because I really enjoyed the atmosphere on campus and I thought it would be a good place to work toward a degree in nursing. I also got good feedback from my high school coach who played Softball for DCC and a close teammate who attended there. Heather played with former Buccaneer standout, Debbie Schendel, who is currently playing at Nyack College, a NCAA DII school in New York.
Working her way towards college athletics Heather has contributed to the Great Falls Homeschool Bulldog volleyball program for the last 4 years. Her MVP status reflects her capacity as a player. She was awarded Team Captain, Most Inspirational player, Blocker of the Year, Most Improved player and Lettered all 4 years.
"She is a solid team leader" said Marble. "Heather is a competitor who has competed for multiple state titles, participated in All stars, and earned state tournament recognition."
At only 5'6", Marble notes Schmidt has tremendous athletic ability "Her ball control is outstanding, she jumps well. We'll benefit from her volleyball skills and her great competitiveness"
For more information on the Buccaneer women's volleyball program, student athletes are encouraged to contact John Marble at (406) 377-9498 or complete a Prospective Player Questionnaire online at www.dawson.edu.

The father of a slain East Point officer is asking for help in finding his daughter's killer.Joseph Parker said he wanted to enter the south Fulton County home where his daughter, Crystal, was found dead, but authorities wouldn't let them.The home has been a crime scene since Cpl. Crystal Parker's body was discovered by her mother on Sunday night. "She never called me Sunday. I was going her plenty of time to rest up and then the lead detective called me and told me he had bad news for me," said Joseph Parker. Fulton County Police have not officially released the cause of death, saying it will take an autopsy to determine it. However, East Point Mayor Earnestine D. Pittman told FOX 5 that Cpl. Parker had been shot.Joseph Parker confirmed that his daughter had been shot, but said he would not reveal anything else. He said that he didn't want to jeopardize the investigation. Crystal's father said that she was the youngest of seven children. Her twin brother is in the military. He said Crystal had a heart of gold."My daughter had a heart as big as that truck -- all you had to do was ask her for it. If you were homeless she'd give you a place to stay," said Joseph Parker. Crystal Parker was a six-year veteran of the East Point Police Department, where she was named "Officer of the Year" in 2012.Fellow officers wore black bands over their badges on Monday. "She was intelligent, articulate, a smart woman, a tough police officer," East Point Police Lt. Clifford Chandler. Crystal was seen as a rising star within the department. Now questions linger about why and how was she killed."I want the people who committed this crime, I want them caught. I want them punished to the fullest extent," Joseph Parker said.Joseph Parker said that there had been a break-in at his daughter's home a few weeks ago, but it's unknown if it's related to her death.An autopsy is expected to determine the exact cause of Crystal Parker's death.Funeral plans are pending.

One word of caution when using cloud-based DNS providers: Most bill you at least partly based on the number of queries their name servers receive for data in your zones. In a DDoS attack, those queries might increase dramatically (completely outside of your control and not at all to your benefit), so make sure they have a provision for dealing with DDoS attacks without passing the cost of the traffic on to you.
How to avoid becoming an accomplice in DDoS attacks
Now you know how to configure your DNS infrastructure to resist a DDoS attack. It's nearly as important, though, to ensure that you're not complicit in a DDoS attack against someone else.
Remember the description of how DNS servers can amplify traffic? Attackers can use both open recursive name servers and authoritative name servers as amplifiers, sending spoofed queries that cause the name servers to send responses more than 100 times as large as the query to arbitrary targets on the Internet. Now, of course you don't want to be the target of such an attack, but you don't want to be an accomplice, either. The attack uses your name servers' resources as well as your bandwidth. If the target takes measures to block traffic from your name server to its network, then after the attack ends, the target may not be able to resolve domain names in your zones.
If you run an open recursive name server, the solution is simple: Don't. There are very few organizations that have any justification for running a name server open to recursive queries. Google Public DNS and OpenDNS are two that come to mind, but if you're reading this, I'm guessing you're probably not them. The rest of us should apply access controls to our recursive name servers to make sure only authorized queriers use them. That probably means limiting DNS queries to IP addresses on our internal networks, which is easy to do on any name server implementation worth its salt. (The Microsoft DNS Server doesn't support IP address-based access controls on queries. Read what you want to into that.)
But what if you run an authoritative name server? Obviously, you can't limit the IP addresses from which you'll accept queries -- or not very much, anyway (you might deny queries from obviously bogus IP addresses, such as RFC 1918 addresses). But you can limit responses.
Two longtime Internet "white hats," Paul Vixie and Vernon Schryver, realized DDoS attacks that use authoritative name servers for amplification exhibit certain query patterns. In particular, attackers send name servers the same query from the same spoofed IP address (or address block) over and over, seeking maximum amplification. No well-behaved recursive name server would do that. It would have cached the response and not asked again until the time to live of the records in the response elapsed.

One day since the metro learned Kansas City School District students can transfer out of the district, there are still a lot of unanswered questions.
All the districts involved in the possible student transfer next school year don't know exactly what they'll need parents to do, but they're working on a plan. What they know so far is that if you're a parent who wants to transfer your student from KCPS to one of the other five districts, according to Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education guidelines, you need to let KCPS know by Feb. 1. You also need to let the school district to which your child will be transferring know by Feb. 1.
According to Raytown School District's public information office, there is not paperwork ready yet for parents to fill out to transfer their student. The five metro school districts had been meeting prior to Tuesday's Supreme Court ruling concerning the transfer law to create a consistent form for parents to use. They are also looking at identifying a place where all the information about each district would be available for parents to peruse as they make their decision.
"School districts could send their capacity numbers to the clearinghouse and parents could go there and look at the choices they might have and once they found a school district they could attend, where the capacity would accept their students, they would go to that school district and enroll no different than a student moving in to that community would do today," said Raytown Superintendent Allan Markley.
Districts are targeting Jan. 15 to have a plan in place. Given DESE's deadline for students informing KCPS they are leaving their current school and then notifying the new school district in which they'd like to attend, that gives them 17 days.
Another thought worth considering for parents is that Kansas City Public School District will only cover transportation costs to the four districts of North Kansas City, Independence, Raytown and Center. Students going to any other school district, including Blue Springs and Lee's Summit, won't receive transportation aid.
One woman who has two children at Kansas City's Southwest High School said she wants her children out of the district and it doesn't matter if she has to drive them herself to their new school.
"They are not taking care of how they're handling the schools, the kids. It's just out of control," said Jacinda Porter.
Porter said she's fed up with the Kansas City Public School District. She has two children attending one of the district's high schools and she's ready to move them out.
"They say, 'mom we ask questions and the teachers, if they're not listening, they'll just write it up on the board and then that's it.' They're not showing them anything," she said.
Porter's daughter Angel may become one of the more than 7,700 students in the unaccredited district who told surveyors in 2012 they'd transfer if they could. That's almost half of the district's total student population.
More than 700 of those students who'd like to transfer said they'd like to go to Raytown. But that school district, like others who spoke out Wednesday, doesn't know just how many students it will be able to accommodate.
"We're very proud of our class sizes. Even though they're not all at the desirable standard, many are and we know and we rely on research that shows smaller class sizes means higher academic achievement," Raytown's superintendent said.
Raytown is committed to keep its class sizes as small as possible. The state board of education recommends 20 to 25 students in each class for kindergarten through second grade, 22 to 27 students in classes for third through fourth grade, 25 to 30 for grades fifth through sixth, and 28 to 33 for seventh through 12 grade.
Smaller class sizes appeal to Porter.
"With the schools around here, they have them all in these little bitty schools. There are way too many kids in a classroom. How are they possibly learning?" she said.
Porter's daughter, a high school freshman, said she would like to have better teachers, who she could turn to for help in school and in life, but she's not sure switching schools will be a guarantee for a better education.
"Even though it's at a better district, I'm not exactly sure. You can't judge a book," Angel said.
Despite all of the unknowns and controversy surrounding the transfer law, her mom likes it.
"I'm real grateful for that because it's giving them a better opportunity," Porter said.
But many KCPS parents KCTV5 spoke with Wednesday said they are deciding that, even though they could leave their struggling district, they're staying put. They said they like their school and they like the sense of community that comes with attending a nearby school.
They also said they don't want to have the hassle of figuring out how to get their child to and from school every day.
School districts say not knowing how many students will ultimately choose to transfer and how many students they could even accommodate is proving to be quite a challenge.
All members of the community are invited to visit kcpublicschools.org/accreditation to get the latest information regarding the overall KCPS accreditation situation, and how it relates to student transfers. A link to the DESE transfer guidelines is also available, as well as letters from Superintendent R. Stephen Green.

I've had no offers." It's not clear whether ADL means no offers from AC Milan specifically, or no offers from any club (Manchester United are also thought to be interested in the Slovakian).
While Milan have no shortage of attacking players, Hamšík would certainly be an upgrade on the players currently slotting in for the trequartista role. Clarence Seedorf might not even be staying with the rossoneri. Kevin-Prince Boateng's Milan future remains up in the air. And while Hamšík may not always be the most precise finisher, he's an improvement over Robinho's wonder-misses, which seem to occur any time the Brazilian gets a clear chance at goal.
While Edinson Cavani has been the star in Napoli's crown this season, any absence of either Hamšík or Ezequiel Lavezzi has shown just how important all three are to the Napoli attack. Napoli fans are crossing their fingers that De Laurentiis is well aware of this, and doesn't elect to sell a member of the holy trinity.

|From the Vantage Point: Vantage students lend a hand at the fair
|Wednesday, September 04, 2013 12:15 AM
Information submitted
On Senior Citizen Day and Veteran's Day, about 25 Early Childhood Education students assisted residents of Vancrest in maneuvering through all the booths in the Commercial Building at the fair and helped them get their lunch. The residents shared stories with the students about how the fair was years ago.
Early Childhood Education instructor Marcia Osenga was very happy with the field trip.
"This is the kickoff event for our intergenerational project with Vancrest and it went really well, despite the heat," she said.
"We absolutely love working with the Vancrest residents in our intergenerational project. We've been working with them for at least 15 years. It is one of my favorite activities," preschool teacher Donna Myers said.
The ECE students will continue their relationship with the seniors at Vancrest through the intergenerational project. The project will include monthly visits to Vancrest with the preschoolers and their teachers reading stories, performing finger plays and playing games.
For more information about the Early Childhood program at Vantage, visit vantagecareercenter.com or call Student Services at 1-800-686-3944 ext. 2126.

"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

activities and attractions in Whitefish Montana
We instantly fell in love with Whitefish when we began travelling there. The restaurants are fantastic and inexpensive, the shopping in the area is great (for those of you who prefer the bigger outlet stores, Kalispell is only a 15-minute drive from Whitefish: boutique shopping stores abound in Whitefish), and the outdoor activities are endless!
Whitefish is a truly a 4-season town, offering golfing, boating, fishing, hiking, road riding, mountain biking, and sight-seeing in the warmer seasons, and cross country skiing, ice skating, and downhill skiing in the winter. For those of you who simply want a quiet place to relax our house also offers this and simply strolling through the stores in the downtown strip in Whitefish is a great experience.

vacation rental description
*** SPECIAL - Pay for "2" and get the"3rd" night FREE! (excluding holidays) ***
*** Freshly remodeled bath ***
Ideally located, you are invited to take part in a vacation of unmatched beauty and unrivaled seasonal activities. This Petoskey Michigan Vacation Rental Lakefront, Beach and Ski Chalet Home offers year attractions including water sports steps from your door, great snowmobiling to miles of trails, skiing, golfing and absolutely gorgeous views of the lake.
With all the area has to offer with its unique shops, boutiques and art galleries located in Petoskey's Gas Light District and Harbor Springs, shopping should definitely be on you list of things to do. You may also want to see if Lady Luck is with you at the "new and ultimate" Odawa Casino in town.
The shared resort offers 450 feet of waterfront access, with your chalet being the only one on the one-of-a-kind shallow, hard bottom, sandy beach that stretches out at least 225 feet, with only waist deep water. This combination of beach and park-like atmosphere makes this location the most desirable on Crooked Lake.
The park-like property also features a private marina, with two slips available for your watercrafts of up to 26 feet. Also included is a volleyball court, horseshoe pit, multiple fire pits and most of all, a tranquil setting for relaxing on a wooden swing, to watch the boats go by, read a novel or watch the fantastic sunrises or sunsets from the point.
From the lake, you can cruise the famous and historic inland waterway. It starts on Crooked Lake, goes to Burt Lake to Mullett Lake, then out to Lake Huron! There are two marinas located within 2 miles for your watercraft rental needs.
Spring time bring out colorful blooms and the 21 championship golf courses open for the avid golfer, which are all within 25 miles of the resort. Hikers will also enjoy this time of the year, for its many trails and paths are waiting to be explored once again. Do not forget to visit the mighty Mackinaw Bridge and Island. It is only about 30 minutes from the resort.
Fall is a special time of year when the trees come alive with vibrant colors. Many areas to view the color changes are great, but there is nothing as commanding as the Tunnel of Trees, along the shore of Lake Michigan. This area is just north of Harbor Springs about 15 minutes from your doorstep.
Skiing and snowmobiling makes this the Midwest's Premier Winter Destination, with trails just waiting to be ridden. The ski resorts of Boyne Highlands and Nubs Nob are only about 10 minutes from your chalet. The snowmobile trails are right out your door! Ice skating, sledding sleigh rides and ice fishing are also just a sampling of what is in store for you during your dream vacation at this Petoskey rental vacation lakefront home.

The North Face Expedition 36
4-star: 1
3-star: 1
2-star: 0
1-star: 0
Spouse and myself have proudly owned this tent for…
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $700
Spouse and myself have proudly owned this tent for six years. We have taken it to every national park west of the Rocky mountains as well as the extremes of Alaska and it has been and continues to be a great tent. It is heavy but pays for itself by withstanding moderate winds, rain, and snow.
- Well built
- Well designed
- Withstands the elements at a base camp on glaciers to warmer camping locations.
- When the sun comes up it gets very warm inside. With its superb construction it is a little heavier than I would like.
Setup with one person is easy in even the most demanding weather conditions once you have some practice. It is a very stable tent in winter weather conditions from Denali to Adak, Alaska, weather conditions most weather conditions.
Plenty of ventilation keeps the interior from accumulating moisture inside the tent. For prolonged treks, the user will find the regular accumulation of moisture or ice on the inside of the rainfly. Drying time depends on the temperature. The rain fly is waterproof and resists a high wind load when installed properly.
The weight of the tent can easily be split up two or three ways. It will easily support three sleepers.
I studied this tent's specs against all other similar tents and even though this one was pricier than most, I was impressed with what I had read about The North Face Expedition 35. Of the eight other tents I own, this one remains my favorite and has never required any repairs. My wife and I flawlessly clean it after each and every use and carefully repack it in its stuff/compression bag.
I have a TNF expedition 36, it is 3 years old. I have…
Design: expedition 36
Sleeps: 3
Ease of Setup: not difficult
Weight: 3 maybe 3.5
I have a TNF expedition 36, it is 3 years old. I have only used the tent several times. Two weeks ago I took my son, a Cub out for a weekend with his pack. Our tent was up and looking good, when we returned from a hike the pole that goes into the fly had fractured, the metal end broke in two pieces, it also ripped my fly. I would like to get it replaced, but am unable to find a contact number. I have camped as far north in this tent as Gries Fiord, the Yukon and Nfld.
I was very pleased with it until this happened, if it had happened last year it could have been a disaster!
I would like a contact number to find out how I can replace this pole.
Paul Burke
I purchased this tent as a mountaineering base-camp…
Design: 4 season, freestanding dome tent.
Sleeps: 3
Ease of Setup: not really bad, but not really great either.
Weight: around 11 lbs
I purchased this tent as a mountaineering base-camp tent, and for winter camping and canoe camping. For these tasks, it seems like an excellent tent.
PROS: extremely luxurious tent for two; comfortable for three. Beautiful design, cheerful colors, extremely weatherproof and stable in high winds. Very liveable: lots of inside pockets, and excellent ventilation. Efficient floor plan and nice large vestibules that are easy to get in and out of.
CONS: Fiddly to set up; lots of poles everywhere, and it's hard to figure out which poles can be connected first. The weight is reasonable for three people, but two people won't be carrying this tent very far without feeling it.
Overall, an excellent tent, and for its intended purposes, and after spending about 20 days in it so far this summer, I'm very happy with it.
Retailers' Descriptions
Here's what other sites are saying:
The North Face Expedition 36 is a 3-person, 4-season tent with steep side walls, lots of internal pockets, and excellent ventilation. Designed to promote high to low circulation, the Expedition 36 can travel from hot to cold climates better than other expedition tents that tend to cook you in warmer temps. The Expedition 36 has dual doors and dual vestibules, with a hoop pole on one side that creates additional vestibule space - can you ever have enough 6 Featherlite SL aluminum poles and a color-coded canopy and flysheet webbing make for smooth pitching, while reflective guylines, guyline loops, and glow-in-the-dark zipper pulls only add to the convenience. This tent has been cold-crack tested to -60 F.
