School Policies and Practices to Improve Health and Prevent Obesity
National Secondary School Survey Results
A comprehensive study from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Bridging the Gap program shows that the nation's public secondary schools are making an effort to offer students healthier options in the cafeteria. Through the National School Lunch Program, most schools provide fruits and vegetables, more are offering whole grains and fewer are serving french fries. However, pizza, high-fat milk, junk food and sugary drinks are still widely available through the federal program. Findings also show that schools have made little progress in helping students be active during and after the school day.
The report, School Policies and Practices to Improve Health and Prevent Obesity: National Secondary School Survey Results, examined practices that affect nutrition, physical activity and obesity prevention for a nationally representative sample of middle and high school students. Its conclusions provide timely guidance about nutritional guidelines and wellness policies for the U.S. Department of Agriculture to consider as it begins to implement the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010. It also includes policy opportunities for increasing physical activity that are relevant to the pending reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act.
Among the key findings from the 2007–08 school year:
- Virtually all schools offered vegetables and fresh fruits as part of the National School Lunch Program some days or most/every day. However, the same was also true for pizza.
- Compared with the previous school year, more students were offered whole grains and fewer were offered french fries as part of the National School Lunch Program.
- More than one-half of secondary students had access to snacks like candy, chips, cookies and ice cream through the National School Lunch Program.
- Sugar-sweetened beverages were available to 71 percent of middle school and 92 percent of high school students in vending machines, à la carte lines, stores or snack bars on campus.
- Physical education was required for some part of the school year for 83 percent of middle school and only 35 percent of high school students.
- Participation in interscholastic and intramural physical activity programs was low, especially among students at less affluent schools and schools that had a majority Black or Latino student body.
According to the report, districts and schools with students most at risk for obesity, based on economic status, race or ethnicity, were less likely to have a wellness policy in place. It also shows that many schools and districts had not yet implemented nutritional guidelines for all foods, or set goals for physical activity, both of which were required by the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004.
Results were based on surveys of school administrators during the 2006–07 and 2007–08 school years. The accompanying full monograph will be available in summer 2011 at www.bridgingthegapresearch.org.

A little about me...
I want to fall in love again with someone who is not only my lover, but also my best friend. I am still a work in progress. There are so many things that I have an interest in and I want to do it all right now! I can't ever imagine being bored. I have lost 90 pounds in the last year and I am hard at work trying to lose even more. With 2 of my sons as long-distance runners and my daughter as a competitive dancer, it just didn't look good being a big lump on the sidelines cheering them on. I wanted to be part of the action. I try to extend this level of dedication to everything I'm interested in and that would include the man of my dreams!
About the one I'm looking for...
Honesty, honesty, honesty!!! Asolutely, positively no drama. Kind, gentle, salt of the earth kinda guy. Talk to me and I'll know.
I'd just like to add...
That I seem quiet until people get to know me and then where did that chatty person come from??!! Don't worry though, I'm a really good listener too. I love to hear what other people think and I love the idea of being able to discuss their thoughts with me and share my own. I am very much a live and let live kind of person and I try very hard not to be too judgmental. I think most people find me to be a very articulate and compassionate person and I'm hoping that those traits come through when people first meet me.

Obama's Detention Dilemma
Tuesday, June 09, 2009 at 4:51 pm
The transfer of former "high-level" Guantanamo Bay detainee Ahmed Ghailani to a federal prison in New York on Tuesday highlights the dilemma President Obama faces over what to do with the 240 detainees remaining at the Guantanamo Bay prison, as well as any others he claims will need to be detained indefinitely without trial in the future.
Ghailani, a Tanzanian seized in Pakistan in 2004 on suspicion of participating in the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings in East Africa, spent two years under interrogation in a secret CIA prison before being sent to Guantanamo in 2006. Today, while expressing full confidence in the U.S. criminal justice system, Attorney General Eric Holder initiated Ghailani's prosecution in federal court — 11 years after the crime.
At the same time, President Obama is considering creating a new system of "preventive" indefinite detention for some detainees "who cannot be prosecuted yet who pose a clear danger to the American people," as he said in his May 21 speech at the National Archives. That prospect has sparked a bitter controversy among legal and national security experts over who would be detained, the legality of such detention, and the implications for the national security of the United States.
"Indefinite detention without trial is a hallmark of abuse," Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) wrote in a letter to Obama the day after Obama's speech. On Tuesday morning, Feingold convened a hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on the Constitution to further explore the issue.
Witnesses debated the legality of detaining suspected terrorists picked up around the world – as opposed to detaining "combatants" on a clear "battlefield," as international law allows. But much of the hearing's testimony focused on how a policy of indefinite detention of suspects who are presumed "dangerous," yet the United States refuses to try as criminals, will affect the nation's moral standing in the world and its ability to fight al-Qaeda.
Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), the ranking Republican on the subcommittee, presented the GOP's position by emphasizing that in Hamdi v. Rumsfeld, the Supreme Court "allowed for the indefinite detention of enemy combatants without trial" and praised Obama for embracing that power.
But others noted that the Hamdi ruling is not nearly that broad, and argued that the indefinite or "preventive" detention of suspects seized around the world has no precedent in international law.
Sarah Cleveland, professor of human and constitutional rights law at Columbia Law School, testified that Hamdi v. Rumsfeld only allowed "states to apprehend enemy troops in a traditional conflict and to hold them until the end of that conflict." The only issue in that case, she said, was the detention of an armed combatant in the U.S. war with the Taliban-led Afghan government, which was a traditional international conflict.
But the U.S. government has also claimed "a roving power to detain persons seized outside a traditional theater of combat," and that claim "has brought the United States widespread international condemnation, eroded our moral authority, and inspired new converts to terrorism," testified Cleveland.
One major difficulty in the current situation is identifying the "battlefield" in a global war on terror and deciding who is a "combatant" in it. That's something that the administration has been struggling with in a host of individual habeas corpus cases pending in federal court – most of which, it has lost, as the government has been unable to present sufficient evidence that the suspect imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay for years was actually a member of al-Qaeda or the Taliban, or any associated forces fighting the United States.
A newly authorized system of preventive detention would seek to avoid such court losses.
The idea that the United States must prosecute combatants is "myopic to put it gently," said David Rivkin, a lawyer in the Reagan and Bush administrations and now a partner in the firm Baker & Hostetler. "It is virtually impossible to obtain the sort of evidence necessary [for a prosecution] in a battlefield," he said. "You're not going to run a CSI Kandahar … to me the notion that there's this other alternative of prosecuting them is not possible. We cannot fight this war if we're not going to have a military paradigm."
The tension between whether the United States is fighting a "war" or trying to track down and prosecute violent criminals has created a rift — with human rights advocates and some military and national security experts on one side, and the Obama administration, which on this issue seems aligned more closely with Congressional Republicans, on the other.
Elisa Massimino, executive director of Human Rights First, testified that senior military officials recently warned that the president's plan for military commissions and preventive detention would undermine international confidence in the American judicial system and provide more fodder for the United States' enemies.
"The Guantanamo detentions have shown that assessments of dangerousness based not on overt acts, as in a criminal trial, but on association are unreliable and will inevitably lead to costly mistakes," she said. "This is precisely why national security preventive detention schemes have proven a dismal failure in other countries. The potential gains from such schemes are simply not great enough to warrant departure from hundreds of years of western criminal justice traditions."
Cleveland similarly testified that "prolonged detention of non-battlefield detainees is viewed as illegitimate by the advanced democracies who are our allies and undermines their cooperation with our global counterterrorism efforts."
"No other European or North American democracy has resorted to long-term detention without charge outside of the deportation context," Cleveland said. "Our closest allies—including the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Germany, Australia, and Canada—do not resort to such detention. … Among advanced democracies, only Israel and India have adopted long-term detention systems for terrorism suspects. Both regimes are highly controversial, and the U.S. State Department consistently has criticized the practices of both countries."
Tom Malinowski, Washington Advocacy Director of Human Rights Watch, emphasized that the military paradigm accords terrorists the undeserved dignity of being "warriors" against what is, in their minds, an evil empire. "Anytime we treat these detainees as something special," he said, "we are actually reinforcing their narrative, their story about who they are, global warriors in a global struggle," he said. "It's a narrative the helps them recruit more people to their hateful cause."
He warned that it also creates a dangerous precedent for other countries.
"Russia sees anyone who stands up to its authority in the Caucasus as a terrorist," he said. "Would we be comfortable if we accepted the idea that Russia could detain or kill anyone in the world who threatens their rule in the Caucasus? Or if the Chinese go around the world rounding up Uighurs because they're suspected of being engaged in war on terror against China?"
To which Rivkin retorted: "Just because a bunch of hypocritical politicians in Russia or China or Egypt claim to be inspired by our example does not make it so."
The witnesses all appeared to agree, however, that the issue is urgent and extends far beyond the situation of the 240 prisoners at Guantanamo Bay.
As Richard Klinger, a former Bush administration lawyer testified, the U.S. military is already detaining thousands of suspected al-Qaeda and other alleged terrorist supporters around the world. "The debate over indefinite detention often wrongly focuses on Guantanamo Bay," he said. "The current practice is considerably more widespread, and any limitations on indefinite detention would have correspondingly wide implications."
Which of the U.S. military's detentions are legitimate, and what kind of new detention scheme can be created and justified by the Obama administration, are core questions that Congress, the courts and the president will be called on to answer in the coming months.

I don't see how it highlights any dilemma or send a mixed message. Obama made clear that this is the solution he prefers.

I'm still having a hard time digesting that Obama–who ran on transparency in government and reclaiming our moral authority–would even consider such barbaric practices as indefinite detention and an entire made-up "legal regime" for those we sweep up off the streets and declare "terrorists." The fact that the most extreme Republican shills and Obama are on the same page should tell us something. Obama is willing to forgo his moral credibility–for what? In order to avoid prosecution of those who pose the biggest threat to our democracy: Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, and some Democrats and Republicans in Congress. What a cowardly stance he's taking and how little he regards the suffering of others. He's turning out to be a man who makes soaring speeches, but is, in reality, a man who lacks a moral compass.

He's a proven liar now. Plain and simple. He doesn't have the courage of his own convictions which means only one thing as you say: Obama is a coward and a weakling and certainly not an advocate for democracy. Simple solution – vote against him next time. I'm a progressive liberal but I would welcome a GOP president over the shameless liar I unfortunately voted for in 08. It doesn't feel good to be betrayed by a fraud, does it? Don't let it happen again.

Which America do you live in?
The one I want to live in is governed by law, the Constitution and Justice.
I don't want to give to my kids an America where the president can detain even US citizens indefinitely without trial simply because he says they are dangerous. PROVE IT. Prove they are dangerous in a court of law with rules of evidence and a jury.
President Obama you are wrong on this. Even though you look calm and confident you are scared on this. You are afraid an attack, or a political attack will make you look soft on terrorists.
I want a President that is STRONG ON LAW, THAT IS STRONG ON THE CONSTITUTION.
I don't believe the US will survive as a true democracy or as a Constitutional Republic if you prefer if Politicians can change the rules. Politicians are too subject to political pressure.
If you thing I'm wrong prove it. Look at your policies. You have changed due to political pressure. Look at Congress wallow in special interest influence rather than do what the Country needs.

After Obama's vote last year to grant retroactive immunity to the telecoms for their participation in the NSA's illegal warrantless wiretap program, I knew then he could not be trusted on Civil Liberties. But what were the alternatives….McCain/Palin?
It just points that we need to make sure our elected leaders get the message that we expect more than just the same thing. They need to hear from you that you want transparency and accountability in our government. When they fail, throw their a$$es out!
Currently, the rule of law, the foundation of our republic, is under attack from all sides and it will be interesting to see if we can correct these injustices and recover our standing. If we allow ourselves to fall into the hands of corruption, that secrecy and these authoritarian measures bring, I'm afraid we will ultimately collapse.
Maybe I grew up a bit naive, but I thought we were supposed to be an example for the rest of the world. What happened to that paradigm? If it is dead, it would seems the terrorist did defeat us after all.
This is our big moment to see if we live up to our highest standards that we have set for ourselves. If we fail, God help us all.

I don't think a GOP president would be any different. Hopefully, the political climate in 4 years will be that so people will wake up and realize that neither the Democrats nor the Republicans can be trusted. Third parties must be heard and we need a strong civil libertarian voice.

Permanent detention. Why do we keep creating a new can of worms? Someone in the Whitehouse needs to be the devils advocate and point out all the things that can go wrong. Gitmo is a great example. World opinion. Al Qaeda recruitment. Urighurs imprisoning. Torture.
Permanent detention for how many? Who decides who is to be detained? What if this administration is Just, but the next is like the previous administration? We will have the same problem all over again. The facility will become a political gulag.
Fix the problem don't make another one. Try them in Federal Court.
Either our Constitution and Bill of Rights are applicable to modern society or they are not.
Don't just ignore these uniquely American guiding documents, or apply them selectively. If they are no longer useful propose changes through the prescribed process.
Be American. Strong, Righteous, Generous and Just. Be American. Be courageous, optimistic and fearless.
We have never been defeated. Our worst enemy is ourselves until some catastrophe unites us, or some leader does. Be that leader. FIX the problem with a real, legal, constitutional solution.

Its nice that we are at least open and up front in the world that we have been and want to continue our path to becoming the worlds biggest third world dictatorship.
It would be dishonest and perhaps even immoral for us the engage in preventive detention, preemptive war, illegal war (aggression), illegal domestic spying, torture, rendition, imprisonment by fiat of the government and all the other abuses of the Constitution and Bill of Rights without saying we are going to do it.
After all is not Transparency in Government a hallmark of the Obama governance?
When you look at all the unAmerican changes our politicians have done to keep us safe, and to pursue the "War" on terror, it's hard not to see how Osama did not win.
Auwe, Auwe.

Quarterback Brett Stewart directed the stunning comeback that had the Garden City fans smiling, but not until the Trojan defense came up with three key stops in the fourth quarter. First Stewart hit Justin Guterding for a 26-yard touchdown in the third quarter to cap a 73-yard drive to get Garden City on the scoreboard.
On Carey's ensuing drive the Trojan defense came up with their first big stop of the game forcing the Seahawks into a turnover at the six yard line as they were driving for the score.
Starting with the ball deep in their own territory Garden City began their march that ultimately would put them on top. The drive was highlighted by several key plays by Stewart, both on the ground and in the air, as he converted three times on third and long. The final play of the 94-yard drive was a bullet pass to Spencer Bais from six yards out to give Garden City their first lead. Stewart then hit Tim McDonagh for the two-point conversion that put the Trojans up by three.
With a little over seven minutes left in the game the Seahawks responded with a long drive of their own to put the ball inside the five-yard line with a first and goal. This is where Garden City came up with their second key defensive stop of the game.
On a fourth and inches the defensive front seven of Garden City got the push they needed and kept Carey out of the end zone. A subsequent unsportsmanlike penalty brought the ball out to the sixteen yard line. On the first play from scrimmage Scott D'Antonio took the hand-off and bounced it to the outside and saw nothing but daylight ahead of him and a 22-12 Trojan lead.
Carey did respond with a quick touchdown, a twenty five yard strike to receiver Dylan Demeo from quarterback Ray Catapano with a little over a minute remaining in the game. Catapano had terrific game throwing for 353 yards and two scores.
To make things interesting the Seahawks recovered the on sides kick and had one more chance. After a first down that moved the ball into Trojan territory Catapano looked to have an open receiver inside the ten. But what he didn't see was a leaping Guterding who made a spectacular one handed interception for the third key defensive stop to seal the victory.
Carey had come out strong on both sides of the ball, scoring a touchdown in each of the first two quarters. But Garden City, and in particular Stewart and the defense, put together a dominant second half to win the game.
Garden City will play for the Nassau County championship against Wantagh at Hofstra next Sunday at noon.

Well, some of those freshmen might see the field a little earlier than expected with this news:
Maryland defensive end Isaiah Ross, who would have been a fifth-year senior in 2013, has been suspended from the football team for one year because he violated university policy, the school announced late Friday afternoon. He will remain enrolled at Maryland.
In addition, offensive lineman Pete White is leaving the team for personal reasons but will remain in school. White also would have been a fifth-year senior in 2013.
White, once a four-star and highly regarded as the future of Maryland's line, rarely saw the field, and while he'd fit in a mauling line, the more technical, athletic profile the Terrapins were crafting didn't fit him. He was heading into his last year in the program regardless, and was unlikely to be anywhere above the second- or maybe even third-string on the depth chart. With Silvano Altamirano likely slotting in at guard immediately, there shouldn't be too big of an issue with depth.
Ross is more painful. It's somewhat unclear here, but if he's a fifth-year senior (and he is), it'd seem like his eligibility is expired here then. That's not a great way to go out, especially because he stood a great shot at starting next year at one of the vacated defensive end spots, or standing up and playing WILL. His versatility, experience, and ability to move around was really attractive, and he'd have been an asset to a rebuilding defense.
There's plenty of options on the line still, thankfully; Justin Anderson will likely man one end spot, and Keith Bowers and Andre Monroe will almost certainly man the other, with the third serving as quality depth. Throw in Quinton Jefferson and Roman Braglio, and there should be enough depth to get away without needing to burn a redshirt of either Malik Jones or Chandler Burkett, neither of which is truly ready. But Ross' size - he was 270 - will be missed, especially with few players able to fill in that traditionally bigger weakside end spot.
One thing this does unquestionably do, though, is reduce the experience of what was already a very young team. There are only a handful of scholarship seniors - 14 by my last count - and that's down to 12 now. They're not younger than they were last year, but they're not much more experienced, either, and that might cost them in a few games.
After losing crucial contributors both of the last two years, let's just hope this is all there is in the way of big spring defections.

Poisonous Flowers, Stowaways, and Newcomers
Bittersweet nightshade flowers
Bittersweet continues strangling and climbing its neighbours. Purple petals with saffron noses cover the darkly veined vines and leaves. Here and there a green devil's tomato can be found waiting for sunlight to make it blush red.
The five henbanes grow taller and taller producing new delicate flowers every day. Butter yellow pollen is dusted across the sticky haired leaves by the dances of bees and wasps. I collect the dead flower heads which turn from yellow with burgundy veins to white with blue veins once dry –the yellows and reds of the sun evaporated.
What is that hiding under the large soft leaves of the clary sage? It's a black nightshade stowaway far from its pot and where it was planted. I look under a few more leaves and find another. I think its trying to remind me it does as it pleases and grows where it chooses… whether you planted it or not. It's been stalking me for years. At first uninvited and then welcomed once I convinced it not hide among my peppers and potatoes.
I'm still waiting and hoping for the black nightshades and the belladonna to bloom so I can have a harvest of berries and seeds.
I brought home a few new additions to the garden family. They were so lovely and fragrant I just couldn't leave them at the garden centre all alone. So home with me came the rue (I ♥ rue!), yerba buena (a native herb kinda like a spearmint vine), and a gorgeous "strawberry seduction" yarrow. Isn't the yarrow gorgeous? It smells worse than the henbane, but it's lovely to look at and keeps away some unwanted insects. The flowers look a bit pink in the sunlight, but otherwise they look like blood and that makes this witch very happy.

A Toledo man is facing felony drug charges after Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers seized nearly 29 grams of cocaine during a traffic stop in Findlay early Sunday.
Troopers stopped a 2013 Dodge Avenger with Illinois registration for a turn signal and driving left-of-center violation on U.S. Route 224 at Interstate 75 around 3:30 a.m. Upon contact with the driver, troopers noticed signs of impairment. Criminal indicators were observed and a Hancock County Sheriff's drug-sniffing canine alerted to the vehicle.
A probable cause search revealed cocaine, worth $2,420, inside the center console.
The driver, Alexjandro Williams, 43, of Toledo, was incarcerated in the Hancock County Jail. He has been charged with possession of cocaine, a first-degree felony, as well as OVI.

The Sexy Tractor of the Day is from Tumblr user kenotractor.
That is one super cool Ford and a beautiful restoration job. The old "Fireball 8″ should take top honors in the sexy tractor division.
Oh, sure. We could go on for hours with details about her crankcase, oil capacity, and bore/stroke ratio, but we like to look at her for what she really is…pure American ingenuity packed with pure uninhibited lust and dust.

With all the talk about who we're going to add in the draft and what we need to do, it got me thinking about the other side. Of course, this is far too early for this kind of talk, but... let's do it anyway. I'd like to know who you think will get cut either before or during training camp - who are the guys who you want to or think might get the axe this summer
Here are mine:
Chris Kelsay - With Mario Williams and Mark Anderson now in the fold and Shawne Merriman in rotation behind them, I don't see the value in keeping a 32 year old backup at $5.75M. When you consider that he's averaged about 2 tackles a game and has contributed 30.5 sacks in 138 games over 9 seasons, it makes even less sense.
Dwan Edwards - Dareus and Williams in the middle with Troup as part of the rotation - I fully expect him and his $4.175M cap number to be expelled... or
Spencer Johnson - Basically the same situation - $4M cap number. I don't see how both of these guys can stay
Leodis McKelvin - For the record, I don't see this happening, but it's a possibility. His fall on the depth chart, that fact that this is a contract year, his lack of consistent production and the rule changes that limit his effectiveness as a returner all factor in. That said, it's not like we have a ton of depth here, so this is unlikely, IMO.
What to do with the excess money? Re-sign your key guys of course - they still have Jackson who was assured of getting a contract, Levitre, and Byrd as the main players to re-sign.
Your thoughts?

We are exactly one week late in passing along this story, but for all those in the Catholic world who have been living under a rock, here is a wonderful article with the most exciting news: John Paul II will be beatified on May 1st (Divine Mercy Sunday).
For more information on the significance of this chosen date, see Emily Bissonnette's brief reflection.
For an in depth look at the impact of Pope John Paul II on the Catholic Church, click here.
For those who don't have the time to read all this, here's a great summary video of his Pontificate and the part of the Fishers of Men video (go to 7:20) that shows how inspiring he truly is to those men discerning their call to the priesthood (that's one of my favorite parts).
As this date nears, may all those who are discerning find great comfort in a man of God who lived his entire life for God and who always reminded us that Jesus urges us, "Do not be afraid" and to "Go out into the deep." Let us follow his example to be totus tuus as sons and daughters of Mary and disciples of Jesus Christ. Pope John Paul II, pray for us.

You do realize if Titus had caught the perfectly thrown ball in the end zone, and if the officials hadn't screwed up on the clock, we'd have won? That's a lot more certain than taking chances against the #1 defense (that is better than our offense). We were one Niners player away from the onside kick to have been 15 yards from the red zone with a minute left?
They're the best team in the NFL right now guys. Our team was crippled. The fact we only lost by (barring official mistakes) what is four points against them with our personnel missing is pretty amazing.
I can't tell you how many times we went three and out against crappy defenses. Even against terrible defenses we'll go three and out in under two minutes all the time, more than we score. Their backfield is full of pro-bowlers and when we did try deep were never open. Do you think the three and out strategy against their offense that always put points up and takes six or seven minutes of the clock each drive to do it, by just relying on taking quick chances deep we'd have been off better?
I'm telling you guys it was a close game and called right. And last year Best and short passes did most of our damage.
We offensively scored just as many points this year with less talent and a bad Stafford. Kept them to about the same amount of points. Take away the official mistake, and we did BETTER against the 49'ers this year than last (with them having WR weapons now).
I actually may have a bit more faith in Schwartz ability to play call. Short catches that move the chains and runs to the outside wear out the backfield. We'd be set up for a 4th quarter comeback, which we were starting to see possible when Pettigrew was able to get wide open for the TD with a little time left. A little bit of a rope-a-dope strategy tiring their backfield so we can pull out the big guns in the 4th.
Barring bad execution we really would have won, which is more than a lot of teams will be able to say against the 49'ers this year. Considering our roster without Broyles, Best, Leshoure, or our starting backfield, I think Schwartz deserves a lot more credit than he's being given.

The Score: Jay-Z & Kanye West, "Watch The Throne"

Two of hip-hop's most iconic figures have united, bringing forth the download version of their highly-anticipated collaboration effort, Watch The Throne.
While the physical copy will not be available until Friday, this version of The Throne is just the beginning, as the movement is set to include a tour and the formation of a group.
As soon as Jay-Z and Kanye West announced they were naming their joint album project Watch the Throne, it was clear that the superstar rappers were aiming to raise the creative bar for themselves and hip-hop in general. They've realized those ambitions on Throne (**** out of four), a potent set of tracks that finds them stepping up their games and stepping out of their comfort zones.(USA Today)
Artists such as Beyonce, newcomer Frank Ocean and others were cordially invited to share the throne.
No Church in The Wild (Feat. Frank Ocean); Lift Off (Feat. Beyoncé); Otis (Feat. Otis Redding); Sweet Baby Jesus (Feat. Frank Ocean); Love You So (Feat. Mr Hudson); The Joy (Feat. Curtis Mayfield). (Swagger Junky)
The album's production roster boasts some of the most influential names in hip-hop, including Q-Tip, RZA and The Neptunes.
Kanye West, The Neptunes, Swizz Beatz, No I.D., RZA, Q-Tip, Lex Luger all make production appearances on Watch The Throne with newcomers Hit-Boy, Southside, Symbolic One, and more also lending their production hand.(Complex)
Upon the release of "H.A.M.", the albums lead single, Swizz Beatz shared his thoughts on the impact Throne would have on the music industry.
"I think that those being both of my friends, and knowing that people can team up on such a high caliber level -- as musicians, as rappers, as friends, as peers -- I think it's super-positive, and I think that if more of the industry did moves like this it would be a better place for everybody," Swizz said in an interview. "I'm involved a little bit on the album, and just hearing the different songs it's like 'Wow, they're really taking it to another level.' I'm happy to be a part of it, those are my brothers and [they're] going to continue pushing the envelope." (MTV)
Critics agree that although Watch The Throne set a high standard and delivers in nearly every aspect, only time will tell if the project is indeed a classic.
Overall, the album is a solid listen and worth spending money on. Not every track was stellar (like My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was), but it was still a good album. After the first couple listens, this is a 9.5/10. The Throne managed to create an album that was able to come pretty close to meeting the insanely high expectations people had for it. Be sure to BUY WTT if you haven't yet, and be on the lookout for news on their potential Watch The Throne II album which could be in the works! (The Good Life)
That isn't to say it's an obvious classic - one listen isn't enough to determine that - but it is impressive. Both rappers sound hungry, if restrained, like they're giving each other room. Kanye keeps looking for new angles, both lyrically and in rhyming cadence, while Jay-Z seems more like he's comfortable taking aim, firing and hitting. When it was over, Jay-Z got explained that the album took nine months and three attempts to make. One was finished and, apparently, impressively bombastic but not particularly listenable. Good for them for being shrewd enough to know the difference.(The Guardian)

Alexander Valley Sangiovese Grand Reserve
Winemaker's like myself strive for perfection in every wine we produce but unfortunately we never obtain it as it is something that we only strive for. However, I am having trouble finding fault in our 1999 Alexander Valley Sangiovese. It may have not reached perfection, but it is as close as I have ever come. The fact that the Sangiovese variety grape is so delicate and difficult to work with I must give a great deal of credit to the supreme growing region that our few acres of Sangiovese grapes are grown, Sonoma County's Alexander Valley. Our Baywood Sangiovese is definitely a world-class wine that is a voluminous, fully-rounded wine with a silky elegance. The bouquet shows a great intensity of fresh fruit, with lovely aromas of bing cherries, plums raspberries, cedar and soft spices all tightly woven into a vanilla background. This wine may truly be one-of-a-kind and most winemakers shouldn't and wouldn't admit this, but because of the grapes temperament and overall moody delicacy I have to honestly say that I doubt if I could ever duplicate it again. Don't get me wrong, I definitely won't stop trying.
Cabernet Sauvignon Grand Reserve
"Very ripe with earthy aromas of black plum, current, berry and chocolate aromas. The moth feel is meaty and muscular with a soft tannic shell on the outside, finishing heavy with adequate depth."
California Tempranillo
Made from 100% Tempranillo grapes grown in the Dunnigan Hills Appellation in Yolo County. Compare with all Tempranillos and Spanish Riojas up to $300.00
Cotta Vineyard Port
Made from 5 traditional Port varietals: Touriga, Alvarlhao, Sousao, Tinta Cao, Trousseau. 100% Lodi 100% Cotta Vineyard. Compare with any Portuguese Vintage Port priced over $40.00
Late Harvest Symphony
"Made from 100% Botrytis affected Symphony Grapes in the French Saurterne style has produced a beautiful, brilliant, golden color with balanced overripe fruit and mild floral aromas. Starts full, rich and round with fine acidity. The palate is then taken over by candied fruit flavors that are counter balanced by its astounding acidity leaving a long impressive velvety finish."
Monterey Chardonnay
Baywood Cellars 2004 Monterey Chardonnay is lightly oaked, giving it its elegant and complex qualities. "Smooth, rich and flavorful, with ripe pear, apple and apricot notes. It finishes very smooth with delicate fruit notes that linger. It is ready to drink now". California Chardonnay is regarded as being one of the best examples in the world, especially California's coastal Chardonnay.
Monterey Gewürztraminer
Baywood Cellars 2004 Monterey Gewürztraminer is truly in a class by itself. It is a perpetual medal winner in major wine competitions. "This exciting wine is marvelously fruity with a velvety, smooth texture, delivering layers of ripe pear, pineapple and white pepper flavors. It has a wonderful, soft, smooth, semi-dry finish. Enjoy now!"
Monterey Merlot
Baywood Cellars newly released 2004 Monterey Merlot is a truly exceptional Coastal Merlot. "Well focused and complex with supple, well integrated plum, currant, black cherry and spice flavors, with a long concentrated finish. To be enjoyed now and years to come."
Monterey Merlot Grand Reserve
"Beautiful deep ruby color with ripe berry and wonderful floral aromas. Excellent complexity and well rounded with integrated oak, black curant, cherry, plum and spice flavors that linger in a long concentrated, smooth finish"
Monterey Syrah Grand Reserve
This wine will make you think of starting a fire with its up-front aroma of toasted oak, as you swirl and smell it constantly "flip-flops" from its toasted oak to its strong background scent of strawberries and Bing cherries as though to tease you with what it has underneath. This Syrah is typical of the style of wine which we give our highest ranking of Grand Reserve.
Paso Robles Zinfandel
Concentrated fruit is the trademark of this Paso Robles Zin. Packed with highly complex mixtures of plums, cherries, and black currant fruit flavors which go down with a broad velvety thick coating on the palate leaving traces of chocolate earthiness typical of wines produced from Paso Robles' complex soils
Pinot Grigio
"Rich, ripe, round and sensuous, this lush and textures wine unwraps its ripe fruit in layers of pear and apricot flavor. Enhanced with a bright dry finish."
Pinot Noir Grand Reserve
Baywood's '04 Monterey Pinot Noir is truly 'grand' and a tribute to the quality of wines coming from Monterey's Central Coast, a GOLD MEDAL winner in its first Competition. "Aged in French oak, it exhibits an alluring bouquet of black raspberries, cassis, and ripe cherry scents, with a beautiful medium dark color, lively, vibrant fruit, medium to full body, an excellent texture with outstanding purity as well as symmetry." "This multi-dimensional Pinot Noir is superbly concentrated and robust, yet very well balanced."
Classic California Rosé at its best! The fruity, berryish nose leads to pleasant notes of lightly candied tropical fruit. Crisp acidity and a sprinkle of sweetness give it a clean refreshing finish. Rosetta is a charming compliment for light meals and festive gatherings. Serve well chilled.
The grape variety Symphony was developed at the University of California at Davis by Professor Harold Olmo. It was obtained by crossbreeding the varieties Grenache Gris and Muscat of Alexandria. When the first grapes from this experiment were crushed and vinified, a panel of oenology Professors were gathered for the first tasting of the finished wine. One of the Professors described the wine as having, "A Symphony of aromas and flavors." It was this description which later became the name of this newly created grape variety. "Packed with luscious mango, papaya, and banana fuit flavors, explains why this grape got its name of being 'a symphony of aromas and flavors.' This dry style Symphony is a perfect companion for a summer occasion with any type of cuisine."

There was high drama in Rome yesterday as the world tuned in via live-streaming Internet and satellite television links to see a smoke signal transmitted from within a 15th century chapel.
Just after 2 p.m. here — 7 p.m. in Italy — white smoke streamed from a chimney in the Sistine Chapel. An hour later came the announcement in Latin: "Habemus papam!" We have a pope.
The new pope was formerly Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, archbishop of Buenos Aires. He has chosen the name Francis I.
In addition to being the first named Francis, the new pope has set a number of other precedents. He is the first Jesuit to be named a pope. He is the first pope from the New World and the first from the Southern Hemisphere. The native of Argentina is the first pope to have been born outside of Europe in 1,272 years. The last was Gregory III, born in Syria, whose papal reign ended in 741.
Speculation prior to the papal conclave that began Tuesday was that the 115 voting members of the College of Cardinals would be seeking a reform-minded pope, someone who could assist in the recovery of a church still reeling from sex-abuse scandal and who could clear out the entrenched bureaucracy in the Vatican, the Curia.
Among the other reformists considered "papabili", or possible popes, was Boston's Cardinal Sean O'Malley.
"May God grant Pope Francis the grace and strength to lead the worldwide community of more than 1 billion Catholics," O'Malley said in a statement released by the Archdiocese of Boston. "The Holy Father has already shown us his deep humility in the invitation to pray with him, for him and for the Church. We pray that the Holy Spirit, who led us to choose the Holy Father, will guide him in witnessing the eternal truths of our faith."

Not long ago, I'm looking for people capable of doing good screenshots. The reasons?. Simple.
I want such screenshots to be part of promotional images or from the loading screens!.
You can check out the thread in this very thread: Z15.invisionfree.com
If you are interested, just PM and show me your best shots! (BLAM!)
On a side note, I *might* prepare yet another new version with fixes and whatnot, but that will depend on many factors. One of them beign balance related.
Stay tuned for more!.
New update for the mod, contains several bug fixes and tweaks on balance. YOU MUST HAVE DOWPRO: SOULSTORM 3.59 PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED.
New version for the mod, contains several bug fixes and tweaks on balance. In order to install it you must have only Dawn of War - SoulStorm PATCHED to...
The 3.41 hotfix for DoWpro: Dark Crusade. This version requires Dawn of War: Dark Crusade 1.2 and DoWpro: DC 3.40 to run correctly. After installing...

This is the main installer for WApro (DoWpro for Winter Assault), version 1.60. Please be sure download the 1.66 hotfix as well, and install it after...
If possible, by chance, replace the old cannosse with the one from the Witch Hunter, cause I love the Witch Hunter model, please, please, please by any chance if possible.
Not gonna happen, I explained it below.
So this is the mod that really featured the Witch Hunter Adeptus Sorotis mod? Which as long as not publicly seen, is perfectly find to play with.
I really like them in Dark Crusade. I was more into bigger, nastier battle, but the Sister of Battle is always a turn down despite the vanilla version is crazily op. Rarely use them despite they are op cause they sound and look bland, not my cup of tea I guess
Yeah, after playing through a second time I went back and examined the Dark Crusade version and this is actually missing a lot. Which is odd considering all the threads about modders having to "keep Adeptus Sororitas intact." Though I suppose that's all relative. In addition to several units I noticed, they are also missing the Armorium, the Ordo Hereticus Chamber, and the Inquisitorial Judgement (for building the Throne of Judgement).
Regardless, I think there's at least one other mod that has permission to use Adeptus Sororitas' Final Release version but the name escapes me right now. Just have to hope they have the complete and normal-scaled version.
No, it doesnt. The Dark Crusade version was the one that really featured them (there was one from "behind the scenes" which included a lot of changes from the public version. The difference is that the main developer of this mod along with some others offered help (big one) regarding code and gameplay/balance ideas. The mod creators from the WH mod managed to get a deal under (heavy) restrictions.
Dankon! Dankon! Great thanks to authors of this great mod!
what, are you killing Dark Edlar? D:
3.59.55 is underway. ETA: 10 days.
Changelog - Z15.invisionfree.com
Will you change the vanilla canonness model for one from witch hunters?
Short answer: No.
Long answer: I could, but the model lacks for the most part visual wargear, let alone her weapon upgrades which were not the options I want for (despite that the vanilla model uses the boring plasma pistol and energy sword, glad that it has another pretty different).

Charitable book shop by Hampton station thanks RTT for influx of volunteers
2:30am Tuesday 10th June 2014 in News By Tom Ambrose, Reporter
A second-hand book shop in Hampton has been saved after an appeal for customers in the Richmond & Twickenham Times earlier this year.
The Book Shop, in Ashley Road, sits adjacent to Hampton station and has served the town for more than 50 years.
Falling trade forced the store into decline but volunteers and customers have rallied to give the small shop a lifeline.
Owner Joy McKie, 84, said: "Takings were down to about £90 each week but since the article appeared in the paper, it's gone up to about £170.
"The word has got around - use it or lose it. We now even have enough volunteers to open on a Wednesday afternoon which we never did before."
She cites increasing rents and the rise of the Kindle for declining interest in the second-hand book shop, which donates profits to charities such as Princess Alice Hospice, Teddington Memorial Hospital, Shooting Star Children's Hospice and Guidedogs, among others.
For many years the shop was leased to WH Smith by South West Trains and daily papers were served through a hatch.
