Plymouth 'Cuda
Nothing epitomised the Seventies better than these beautiful brutes, finished in Plum Crazy paint and stuffed with a magical (maniacal...) 426 cubic-inch Hemi V8

- Plum Crazy paint was one of the most popular colours for the 'Cuda back in 1971.
If you were a bit of an extrovert and had a penchant for arriving everywhere sideways and in a cloud of smoke back in the Seventies, then you probably owned, or dreamt of, a 425bhp Plymouth 'Cuda… finished in Plum Crazy for good measure. Debuting a full two weeks before the Ford Mustang in 1964, the 'Cuda was considered the first of the muscle cars.
It went on to become an all-out street brawler that frightened the paint off all its rivals, but it had to wait until the 1970 model year before it could be taken really seriously. Based on the compact Plymouth Valiant, the lean-looking fastback featured a massive wraparound taillight and a stubby bonnet.
Engine options included V6s and V8s — the most potent of which produced 235bhp. But it was eclipsed by the 'Stang, the Chevrolet Camaro and the Pontiac Firebird in terms of styling and performance before the decade was out. Something had to be done to get it back on track. Right on cue, the legendary 426 cubic-inch (7.0-litre) Hemi arrived.
This monster of a big-block almost doubled the original car's horsepower when the new-look Cuda hit the streets in 1970. Five V8s were available this year but it was the enormous 426 that got the blood pumping. The 425bhp motor had one mission — to pin the brave (make that foolish) driver to his seat with the force of a rocket at launch.
Not literally, but it sure felt that way when you buried the throttle. And I guess that's where the term 'loud pedal' was derived; the 'Cuda sounded like thunder. When you shoved the pistol-grip shifter into first and dumped the clutch, the rear rubbers had no chance; countless sets of F60x15s died a wonderfully fiery death.
Plymouth had to stiffen up the 'Cuda's leaf springs (stop laughing back there…) so they would be able to cope with the car's immense acceleration. An extra heavy duty Dana axle helped too because with 680Nm of torque, Plymouth had to pull out all the stops when this thing got going. Keeping the hopelessly nose-heavy 'Cuda in a straight line required not just a firm grasp of opposite lock, but a degree in physics probably helped.

The fire-breathing monster sure looked the part what with its hockey stick sport stripes, bonnet pins, scoops, rally wheels and rear spoiler but those who bought it for its performance also made sure to tick the optional 11.3in front discs options to improve the hefty car's stopping power. But of all the options, it was the R-code street Hemi 426 that was the most important. The relentless race-bred engine was one of the most legendary ever built.
For the 1971 model year, changes were kept to a minimum. It got a more complex six-inlet grille and fender gill louvres while the convertibles, of which just 374 were produced, are amongst the rarest and most expensive muscle cars money can buy. Expect to pay up to Dh500,000 for one of these topless beauties. You may want to curb your enthusiasm for sideways action though…

'The Blood of Martyrs' Predicted Following Hate-Crimes Protections
Flying in the face of direct language in the hate-crimes bill – which expands protections against violent crime, and does not apply to speech or religious practice – the Religious Right continues to base its opposition to the bill on the claim that pastors will somehow be "jailed" for "biblical preaching." "Don't Muzzle Our Pulpits!" they shout. Christians won't be able to "even mention the name of God," we hear.
Rick Scarborough, in the midst of his 70-week "Patriot Pastor" tour, has naturally embraced this false rhetoric. "I assure you that homosexual activists are quietly rejoicing over the open season their lawyers and allies are about to enjoy with those of us who are visible in the pro-family movement," he wrote recently.
His latest newsletter offers a prediction: The same day the bill becomes law, "open persecution" of religious-right activists "will begin." Scarborough further warns that those who do not lobby against the bill through his web site or contribute to his organization will have blood on their hands – "the blood of martyrs":
Mark this down; the day that this law becomes federal statute, the open persecution of major conservative broadcast ministries like Focus on the Family and D. James Kennedy will begin, and it will not end until it arrives at a church near you. If you want to avoid having the blood of martyrs on your hands, then join tens of thousands of other Americans who still hold to the truths of God's Word and click here to send a message to your senators and President Bush that you do not want this legislation. Finally, please click here and make the largest contribution you can to Vision America Action, our 501C4, to assist us in fighting this battle.

Eyes need year-round protection from UV rays
Updated On: Jun 20 2013 08:38:28 AM CDT
(NewsUSA) - Most of us have gotten the message that exposing our skin to UV rays without any protection is about as smart as handing a signed blank check to a stranger. But it's only recently that health experts have seriously begun warning about an equally dangerous threat those rays pose to another part of our bodies: our eyes.
Think about it: The eyes are the only internal body tissues directly exposed to UV. Three hundred and sixty five days a year -- no matter how "cloudy" it appears outside -- radiation (mainly) from the sun is beaming down on our vulnerable windows to the world.
"The rods and cones of the eye are rich in light-absorbing pigmented molecules called chromophores, making it particularly susceptible to photochemical reactions," says Dr. Howard Purcell, O.D., F.A.A.O., former chairman of the Cornea and Contact Lenses Department at Nova Southeastern University's College of Optometry, noting that even the light produced by indoor fluorescent light bulbs relies on the release of UV radiation. "Over time, damage from UV radiation is cumulative and often irreversible."
Among the potential effects of long-term exposure:
Cataracts. This progressive clouding of the eye's lens is the primary cause of blindness worldwide, and recent studies have shown that UV accelerates the deterioration that leads to this age-related condition. Cataract affects more than 22 million people age 40 and older in the U.S. alone.
Eyelid Cancer. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, 5-10 percent of all skin cancers are found on the eyelids.
Age-Related Macular Degeneration. Damage to the blood vessels and corresponding nerves in the retina blurs fine detail and dulls colors.
Alarmed that 94 percent of the population remains unaware of the adverse effect UV radiation has on their eyes, an expert panel recommended the adoption of the eye-care equivalent of the successful systems used to rate skincare and sunscreen products.

Colorado Archery
in Schools Program
When Katniss Everdeen, the fictional heroine of the Hunger Games novels, jumped from the pages to the big screen, she brought with her a renewed interest in archery. As that interest continues to burgeon in pop culture, Colorado Parks and Wildlife invites teachers to participate in "Basic Archery Instructor" Certification workshops, provided by the Colorado Archery in the Schools Program.
They are also encouraged to submit applications for equipment grants this fall. Colorado Parks and Wildlife is the state sponsor for the National Archery in the Schools Program — an in-school physical education or outdoor education program that teaches international-style target archery for students in grades 4-12.
Teachers are trained as "Basic Archery Instructors" by nationally-certified Parks and Wildlife staff during eight-hour professional development courses. Once trained, teachers are eligible to apply for grant funding so that their schools can purchase archery equipment.
"Our goal for this program is to train physical education teachers to teach skills in archery that may lead to a life-long love of shooting," said Tabbi Kinion, program director for CASP for Colorado Parks and Wildlife. "Colorado adopted the National Archery in the Schools Program model because the program is safe, has demonstrated success for teachers and students, and has been shown to lead to participation in the shooting sports after archery class is over."
Trainings will happen in October in Colorado Springs and Denver and the grant application deadline is Nov. 15. Training opportunities and grant applications are found on the education section of the Colorado Parks and Wildlife website.
For more information about the program, contact Colorado Archery in the Schools Program Coordinator Tabbi Kinion at firstname.lastname@example.com.

On Friday, the business owners of Shop Local Acadiana are kicking off the holiday season with a 'thank you' to patrons in the way of free coffee and goodies at Johnston Street Java.
The businesses that participate in Shop Local Acadiana will be under the tent next to the Johnston Street coffee shop offering coffee, prizes and free goodies from 7 to 9 a.m. with the mission to keep local front and center on the mind's of Acadiana shoppers as we approach Black Friday.
In recent years there has been an elevated awareness about how very important it is to stay local. Of the benefits of spending money in the places that invest in this very community. Keeping dollars here. But, the deluge of Black Friday freebies and hype of $2 flat screens (or bars of gold or whatever they're offering that makes people stand in line for hours at 3 a.m.) seem to erase the mantra of Shop Local. This year efforts like those of Shop Local Acadiana are aimed at changing that. (In fact, American Express has deemed the Saturday after Black Friday Small Business Saturday.)
Business owners like Julie of Jewelie's Jewelry participate in Shop Local Acadiana because she believes it's important to continue to raise awareness with a collective voice.
"I like the idea that Shop Local has really brought all of us together, that local businesses are banding together. It's a fantastic idea and brings awareness to shoppers and local consumers on how important it is to patronize local businesses."
And that includes doing it on Black Friday.
NOV 21 Bobby Jindal is headed to Iowa again, the Des Moines Register reports here. The paper outlines what's going on with Bobby's non-campaign for president, and there's a lot of stuff here -- too bad none of it sounds like somebody running Louisiana. Hey, wasn't that the job he wanted?
NOV 21 The end of the term has come for the grand jury investigating a lucrative Medicaid contract and a former state health official's ties to the company that won it, the Advocate reports here, but that doesn't mean the investigation into this stinkiness is over. There are still some things to look into, the lead prosecutor says.
NOV 21 With the passage of two amendments to Louisiana's much-amended constitution (it has been amended almost 200 times now) higher education has an even bigger target on its collective back, columnist Jim Beam opines in this post. Higher ed used to share the spotlight with health care, but that has changed, he says.
NOV 21 Here's a weird one: The Louisiana Cannabis Industry Association has endorsed Bill Cassidy for the U.S. Senate. Apparently, Mary Landrieu said she wouldn't consider support of medical marijuana but Cassidy said he would, WWL reports here.
NOV 21 Solange Knowles, possibly best-known for assaulting her brother-in-law in an elevator while wearing an ugly dress after the Met Ball, got married in the Marigny Opera House this past weekend, the New York Times reports here. Knowles, who has a house in the Faubourg Marigny district and owns a boutique in the Quarter, married Alan Ferguson.
NOV 21 This post on the Fuel Fix blog outlines a $1.4 billion move announced this week by the Apache Corp. that includes the sale of assets in south Louisiana. The company's interests in more than 90,000 acres in south Louisiana are some of the assets being sold, the post reports.
NOV 21 One (possible) positive from Hurricane Katrina is a comprehensive zoning ordinance for New Orleans. Nine years later, we're getting closer to that being finalized, but the current version has some problems. Here's the latest in a series of posts on The Lens in which residents give their views of the draft; this one is more amusing than most.
NOV 21 The new NOLA smoking ordinance is going to harsh your (nicotine) buzz, man. This post on Gambit outlines the high (or low, as the case may be) points: it includes electronic cigarettes and hookahs in its bans; eliminates smoking within 25 feet of any building's public entrance and in any public space - or near any public space - operated by the city.
NOV 20 Here's an interesting article in the New York Times. The authors have picked one dish to represent each state in a Thanksgiving meal. Louisiana's dish? Shrimp stuffed mirlitons.
NOV 20 Politico reports here that Bobby Jindal won't be kept out of the presidential race by anyone else's candidacy. (If he's running, which he's not, 'cause he's not done prayin' on it) So he's not interested in who is running, or what the polls say, or how much money he's got? K.
NOV 20 NOLA Defender's Tiny Daiquiri has a little fun with Bobby Jindal's Meet the Press appearance in this post. Bobby is still prayin' on whether or not he'll run for the job he's been running for over the past three years, Tiny says.

Angel with cancer needs your help
March 28, 2007 at 4:05 pm | Mobile Reader | Print
|Photo courtesy of the Gordon Family
CHEERLEADER: Angel Gordons active, happy, vibrant life is threatened by leukemia.
For the next week Angel and her family weighed heavily on my mind, and I decided to write about their plight. I met with Angel and her mom, Shelia, a few days later to learn more about them. The little girl who walked into that meeting looked similar to the little girl on the flyer; she was still a beautiful 10-year old, and she looked perfectly fine, but her smile was gone. Angel barely spoke the entire time I was around her and her mom, and Shelia says she's like that most days since her diagnosis. She's not sure if the silence is due to a low energy level or if it's just a coping mechanism because Angel doesn't like to talk about her cancer.
I asked Shelia to tell me about their ordeal, and here's what she had to say.
When Hurricane Katrina hit, the Gordons' house flooded, forcing them to live in a FEMA trailer. Shelia had been working for a home health agency, but the patient base was non-existent after the storm, and she had to find another job. This was hardly unusual for people in this area, and Shelia and her husband, Damon, just continued working, repairing their home, and doing the best they could, like everybody else.
Angel was a bright, active third grader in Ms. Bourg's class at St. Rose Elementary. She was a member of the choir, and she loved cheerleading, gymnastics, and dance. She had hoped to take guitar lessons, but the class was full. Angel also wanted to learn to play tennis, but her parents couldn't find lessons locally. Instead they bought rackets and practiced in their driveway.
In January Angel developed a fever and complained that her left leg hurt. Her doctor sent her to Children's Hospital for x-rays which showed no problem. Two days later her left eye was swollen shut and her right eye was almost as bad. Damon and Shelia wondered if maybe Angel had pink eye, maybe she had caught something from living in the FEMA trailer, but the doctor ruled out that theory.
Angel was admitted to Children's Hospital and put through a battery of tests over the next few days, while her family's world turned upside down. When the doctor mentioned to Damon and Shelia that it might be leukemia, they were stunned and asked for a specialist. While more tests were being conducted, Shelia asked a nurse what would happen if Angel did have leukemia, what steps were involved. The nurse told her that the first step would be to assign them a social worker.
A few days later a woman walked into Angel's room and introduced herself as their social worker, and this was when Shelia knew that her 10-year old daughter had leukemia. The social worker wouldn't answer Damon and Shelia's questions, couldn't answer them, and told them the doctor was waiting to talk to them.
Together they walked into a conference room and faced a row of doctors seated at a long table. The specialist, Dr. Velez, told them that Angel had Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) and that ALL was actually the best leukemia to have because the cure rate is so high (80%). But, as Shelia said, when they're talking about your 10-year old child, you don't really want to hear any of that. The doctors proceeded to lay out the treatment plan for Angel, but Shelia and Damon were in shock, in denial, and nothing really sunk in.
When Angel was moved to the cancer ward, the enormity of what they were facing hit Shelia and she just lost it. In the two months Angel's been on the ward, two of the children there have died and one little girl, who also has ALL, is back for her second round of treatments after being cancer-free for four years. Damon and Shelia wanted to prepare Angel for the ordeals of chemo, and they explained that her hair might fall out. Angel told them that she doesn't care about her hair; she just wants this whole mess to be over.
Angel isn't able to go to school for now. She has an in-home tutor two days a week, and Ms. Bourg, her teacher, volunteered to come out one day a week to tutor her in reading. Shelia quit her job to handle Angel's medical needs full-time, including their four weekly trips to Children's Hospital, and Damon quit traveling for work so that he can be close to his family. His employer, Ruth's Chris, has been a godsend, Shelia says. Not only have they given Damon all the time off he needs, but they've also sent cards, flowers, and food when Angel was hospitalized.
Angel's treatment program will last 2 ½ years, after which time it's hoped she'll be in full remission. She's currently in the second phase of treatment, which involves administering the chemotherapy drugs directly into her spinal column. In the two months since she was diagnosed, she's had three blood transfusions, and she'll need more. Any blood Angel uses has to be replaced or paid for, a cost that could be staggering under the best of circumstances and crippling to a family already facing the Gordons' financial situation. A successful blood drive would be a much-needed blessing.
Shelia says she doesn't blame people who haven't donated blood before because she was one of them. She says it never actually occurred to her to donate, until her child was the one in need. Now she realizes how vitally important blood donations are, how this simple act could be what it takes to save someone's life. She's trying to get the word out, trying to talk people out of their fear of donating, because she knows that lives are hanging in the balance.
Shelia says she's asked "why" so many times. Why did this happen to their child? Her mom told her there is no "why", you just have to move on from here, and Shelia's trying to move on and trying to stay strong for her daughter's sake.

Freddie Gibbs - Let 'Em Burn
Artist: Freddie Gibbs
Producer: The Olympicks
Album: Cold Day in Hell
Freddie Gibbs' next project may be titled "Cold Day in Hell," but those who stand in the Gary, Indiana repper's way still risk getting a few scorch marks. On newly-leaked cut Let 'Em Burn, Gangster Gibbs consigns his competition to the flames, flowing over the appropriately gritty synth grooves of The Olympicks. Like what you're hearing? Then be sure to cop the CTE signee's latest street album when it arrives on the 'net October 31 (aka Halloween).

FNC Scores With GOP Debate
Up against baseball, football, and some desperate housewives, FNC's GOP debate in Orlando Sunday night pulled in a respectable 2,462,000 total viewers (live + same day), and 773,000 in the A25-54 demo.
That should rank it sixth in total viewers for the primary debates so far. I'll have the updated debate ranker a little later.

Has knee injury. Aaron Wilson
Calvin Johnson has played through a lingering knee injury all season.
So it's no surprise that Johnson isn't present for Thursday's practice, given the Lions have nothing to play for in the final week of the regular season. After losing to the Giants last week, the Lions were eliminated from playoff contention.
Johnson is the NFL's premier receiver but hasn't been able to showcase that in the last few weeks. Blame it on his quarterback, Matthew Stafford, or his coach, Jim Schwartz. But with the season on the line, someone needed to make sure Johnson got the ball plenty of times.
It does appear Johnson could be a game-time decision this Sunday.

A WOMAN was punched and threatened with a knife by masked raiders who burst into the Frankie and Bennys on Rubery's Great Park and fled with the takings in her car.
The incident happened just after midnight on Monday (July 21) as the female member of staff was about to close.
After taking the cash, the pair escaped in the employee's black Vauxhall Astra which was parked on the restaurant's car park and had the registration FN07 NZT.
Sgt Greg Evans has urged any witnesses, anyone who saw the vehicle or anyone with any information to call him at West Midlands Police CID on 101 number.

Wiz Khalifa - So High
Artist: Wiz Khalifa
Producer: Ghost Loft
Album: Blacc Hollywood
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 4 votes )
With his fifth album's release just one short week away, Wiz Khalifa continues his onslaught of new music. On his latest effort, the perpetually faded Pittsburgh native sticks to his trademark subject matter while drawing inspiration from a group of L.A.-based indie buzzmakers. On So High, the ethereal synth backdrop from Ghost Loft's single of the same name sets the mood as Wiz describes his smoking habits in a unique, "uh-huh"-heavy flow. Fans will be able to find this cut, the recently-featured Promises and much more on Blacc Hollywood, set to drop August 19, via Atlantic Records.

Where better than their hometown for brothers and Chattanooga-natives, Chris and Matt Loizeaux, to start their new outdoor brand, Lawazo. Aimed at perfecting the often overlooked items that are used daily in the outdoors, Luwazo's first product is something that everyone owns, but is rarely newsworthy… the T-shirt.
With a focus on art and craftsmanship, their designs are inspired by time in the outdoors and the quality is reminiscent of older days. Instead of printing their designs on the same shirt as everyone else, they wanted a better shirt and wanted it made in the USA. All of Luwazo's shirts are soft, lightweight, quick drying and naturally moisture-wicking.They are designed by people who love the great outdoors and screen-printed by independent craftsmen in Chattanooga.
As a member of 1 percent for the Planet, a portion of every shirt sold benefits regional and national non-profits that share and improve the trails and waterways across the nation. They like to think of it as "keeping the money in the family."
Over the past year Luwazo has created what so many people think is the best T-shirt in the outdoor industry, and they've managed to keep it less expensive than their competitors who produce overseas, officials said. However, they still wanted to put a higher level of detail into their shirts, and with the need to place larger orders to fulfill growing demand from outdoor shops they launched a crowd-funding campaign on Kickstarter. With only a few weeks left of their Kickstarter project, they need to spread the word that T-shirts can be better than what everyone has settled for. They're offering several great rewards for backing their project, from shirts, to handcrafted packs and journals, and more.
Luwazo will have a Pint Night Monday at the Crash Pad, beginning at 6 p.m. Admission is $5 and includes a pint glass and the first glass of beer. There will be information about Luwazo.

Twilight's Love Chapter SixThe Grand Galloping GalaTwilight's Love Chapter Six by Bluecatcinema
It was that time of year again. Time for the Grand Galloping Gala. Twilight had received an invitation from Princess Celestia, noting that it would be her first time attending as a princess. Not only were invitations for Spike and the others included, but one for Flash. Through a quick relay of letters, he and Twilight agreed to meet just outside the castle on the night in question.
Rarity had, of course, gotten right to work on her friends' gala dresses, especially Twilight's ("It's your first Gala as a princess, darling!", she'd exclaimed. "You must look your best!"). The finished outfit was similar to the dress Twilight wore at her coronation, but less elaborate, and in shades of royal purple and lavender.
After an uneventful carriage ride, Twilight and her friends walked up to the castle, where Flash (Wearing the tuxedo Rarity had made for him on his first visit to Ponyville) was waiting. The second Flash laid eyes on Twilight, he became entranced.
Twilight's Love Chapter FourFirst FightTwilight's Love Chapter Four by Bluecatcinema
Twilight was visiting Flash in the Crystal Empire. They were at his home, sitting on his couch. Flash had one wing draped around her as they snuggled.
"This is always sooo worth the wait." Twilight sighed.
"So true." Flash agreed. "If only you didn't have all that princess work to do. Being forced to read all those dusty old books..."
"I happen to like those 'dusty old books' actually." Twilight declared.
"I know." Flash nodded. "But maybe if you eased up on them a little-"
"I can't ease up on them." Twilight said hotly, moving out of Flash's embrace. "If I'm ever going to be half the princess Celestia is, I need to learn all I can!"
"Hey, easy." Flash said hastily. "I was just saying, less reading would free up your time to see me more often. I've got to be more interesting then sitting at a desk all day, reading some musty book on 'proper etiquette' and 'royal speeches'."
"At least books don't talk back." Twilight snapped. "And they don't belittle my goals."
Twilight's Love Chapter FiveA CRASH Course in FlightTwilight's Love Chapter Five by Bluecatcinema
Once again, Flash had come to visit Twilight in Ponyville. This time, he had managed to secure a weekend off, and wanted to spend it all with Twilight. The two were currently walking across a field together.
"What a beautiful day." Twilight smiled.
"I know." Flash agreed. "And look at that sky. Just perfect for a nice flight."
"Flight?" Twilight asked nervously.
"Sure." Flash nodded. "You've got wings, right? Might as well use 'em."
"I'm not that good of a flyer, actually." Twilight admitted. "I can get up in the air just fine, but I'm always off-balance, not to mention strong winds blow me right out of the sky."
"Sounds like you could use a crash course in the fundamentals of flight." Flash noted. "Come to think of it, why didn't you ever ask either of those pegasus friends of yours for help?"
"Well, Fluttershy's not the strongest flyer herself." Twilight explained. "And Rainbow Dash? To be honest, she doesn't really have the patience to be a teacher."
Twilight's Love Chapter ThreeMeet The ParentsTwilight's Love Chapter Three by Bluecatcinema
Dear Twilight,
We can't believe you didn't tell us you have a coltfriend, and worse, that we had to read about it in the Canterlot Times. Why didn't you tell us? Your father and I always hoped this day would come. What say you and this "Flash Sentry" join us for dinner sometime? In fact, let's have Mr. Sentry invite his parents too, so we can all get to know each other.
Please write back soon, darling.
Love, mom.
Twilight groaned as she finished reading the letter. She had intended to tell her parents about Flash, but only when she felt the time was right. Unfortunately, during Flash's visit to Ponyville, a photographer had taken a picture of them having lunch at the local restaurant. The next thing Twilight knew, that picture was on the front page of every major newspaper in Equestria, joined by such headlines as "The Princess and the Guard!", and "Newest Princess Finds Love!" It was mortifying, to say the least, having her first relationship broadcast t
Twilight's Love Chapter TwoSurprise VisitTwilight's Love Chapter Two by Bluecatcinema
It was a beautiful morning in Ponyville. Twilight was busy reshelving library books when she heard a knock on the door.
"Just a second!" She called, returning the last of the books to their proper place.
Twilight trotted over to the door, opening it with her magic. To her surprise, Flash was on the other side, bereft of his armor.
"Flash?" Twilight gasped.
"Surprise!" Flash smiled. "Happy to see me?"
"Of course." Twilight smiled back. "But how-?"
"Princess Cadance gave me the day off, so I figured I'd come and see the place where you hang your horseshoes." Flash smiled. "Wow, you sure have a lot of books."
"I should." Twilight chuckled. "It's a library."
"A princess and a librarian, all rolled into one." Flash whistled. "I sure can pick 'em, huh?"
"Hey, Twilight, who's at the door?" Spike called, stopping as he saw Flash. "Oh. Hello."
"Hey, there." Flash smiled. "You must be Spike. Twilight's told me a lot about you. I hope she's told you a lot about me."

Twilight's Love Chapter OneFirst DateTwilight's Love Chapter One by Bluecatcinema
Twilight was riding the express train home to Ponyville. At the moment, she was so giddy she could barely sit still. She had just been on her very first date with a stallion.
A few hours before...
Twilight and Flash Sentry, after muddling through their confessions of being attracted to each other, had decided to go to lunch together. They had travelled to a small diner, not far from the Crystal castle. Once they had ordered their food and sat down to eat it, Twilight became aware that some of the other patrons were staring at them. Clearly, they considered a princess having lunch with a guard to be a matter of extreme interest. Having so many eyes on her made Twilight feel self-conscious.
"Maybe we should have gone somewhere a little more... private." She cringed.
"Hey, relax." Flash smiled, gently placing his hoof on hers. "Let's not worry about them. Let's just focus on each other. What do you say?"
As she looked into Flash's kind eyes, Twilight found it incr

Henman refuses to duck £200k question over his BBC salary for Wimbledon role
A couple of matters have been perplexing Tim Henman this week — why reports of his BBC salary for Wimbledon have been hugely inflated, and why people seem quick to write off his old mate Roger Federer.
Our former world No 4 was not the only one intrigued to read that his fortnight's commentary at SW19 will be apparently paying him £200,000, the supposed figure provoking a degree of outrage, with even the TaxPayers' Alliance weighing in.
On the box: Henman (centre) will be part of the BBC's commentary team alongside John McEnroe (right) and Andrew Castle
More from Mike Dickson for The Daily Mail...

When I asked him what he is really getting I expected a politely evasive answer but, unusually with such a personal matter, he is happy to be fairly precise about the issue.
'I don't want to be exact but it is actually less than a quarter of that and the same as last year,' he tells me.
'I try not to lose my sense of humour about things like this but this one was a bit irritating and as it's
licence-payers' money it's only fair that people know it has been grossly exaggerated. I should be so lucky.'
So there you have it, less than £50,000.
Henman is still in close touch with Federer, to the extent that they hit together the last time the great Swiss was in London.
'From everything I hear and see Roger is still very hungry and I know he is desperate for more Grand Slam titles.
'Understandably everyone is talking about Novak and Rafa but it seems there's a tendency to think Roger's past it. Anyone writing him off for Wimbledon does so at their peril. I won't be among them.'
Bright star: Watson
Heather Watson gave us cause for optimism this week, but there are not waves of talented young women coming through.
In fact there is not a single British representative in the ITF top 100 girls or the French Open juniors, which is pretty sobering.
Now word reaches me that one of Watson's most talented compatriots, 18-year-old Tara Moore, is becoming so disillusioned with her lack of support from the LTA that she is entertaining an offer to defect to Hong Kong, which she qualifies for through her mother.
Steve Martens, the apparently irreplaceable former player director at Roehampton HQ, said last year that Moore, a quarter-finalist at junior Wimbledon, has some of the best natural hand skills he had ever seen. Her discipline has not always been perfect — not uncommon in a teenager — and she is far from the finished article, but GB tennis has few of her potential.
We are told that LTA chief executive Roger Draper is becoming more 'handson' in the national training department (he has little option as so many senior staff have left). He could start by sorting out this situation out.
The grass-court season begins its all-too-brief run today with a men's Challenger at Nottingham and the somewhat confusing scenario of back-toback women's events at the same venue, with a $75,000 tournament followed by one worth $100,000.
Strangely the field for the first looks stronger than that for the second. And it looks even more strange because the latter event is happening in the same week as the main WTA Tour event 45 miles away at The Priory, Birmingham's elite club where the LTA are controversially investing £5million on facilities. Heather Watson is the sole high-profile Brit entered there.
The suspicion has been that this curious state of affairs is due to a desire to get some easy points for the home players. However, apparently the reason for the second event is a WTA request for more playing opportunities pre-Wimbledon, and the All England Club, ever mindful of nurturing grasscourt tennis, have been primemovers in its introduction.
This double dose of women's action for the good burghers of Nottingham may, however, not happen next year, as apparently there is a new tournament on the turf planned for, of all places . . . Cairo.
To venture out into the public areas of Roland Garros remains something akin to being a human dodgem car — however magical it is, the crowds mean expansion is needed.
The plans include building what looks like being a stunning new court attached to the greenhouses in the botanical gardens next door.
A victim of the new layout — to allow for a sort of people's square — will be the superb Bullring No 1 court, a venue so intimate you almost feel like you are out there with the players.
A favourite memory is sitting in the front row of the media seats square of the baseline watching John McEnroe, who recoiled in mock horror after noticing members of Her Majesty's Press. But it may be around for a while yet.
There are so many local objections to the scheme that some here reckon a 2016 completion date looks optimistic, and that it could be more like 2018.
Shared by Heather Watson and Elena Baltacha — for going where no British women had gone in 17 years at Roland Garros.

SANTIAGO (Reuters) - There were no reports of casualties or damage to infrastructure after a powerful 7.6 magnitude quake that triggered a tsunami alert, Chile's Onemi emergency office told Reuters on Thursday.
The quake struck off northern Chile late on Wednesday, prompting tsunami alerts and evacuations along the coast and in neighbouring Peru.
It was the strongest of several aftershocks that followed a huge 8.2-magnitude quake blamed for six deaths in the region on Tuesday.

Topic: Vines
Title: Vine for lanai in St. Augustine FL
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:What vine can I grow to attach to a screened in lanai around my pool? Will it damage my screen?
Since we have no personal experience in this, about all we can tell you is what vines are native in and around St. John's County, Florida, and what structural support those vines would ordinarily require. Since we are a little unclear on exactly what kind of structure you have, we want to begin by telling you that all climbing vines need a firm support. Some climb on trees, trellises, stone or brick walls, but all can be quite heavy as they mature, and will pull down anything that doesn't have the strength to bear that weight. Depending on what adaptation each vine has made to climb, the material on which they climb is important, in that some of them can simply destroy a wooden structure, or even damage brick walls. All of these vines will need some kind of structure on which to climb. If your lanai is only screening, without a substantial framework where the climbing vines can cling, the vines will either stay on the ground and make a groundcover or take the structure down with their weight. Follow the plant links to the individual page on each plant for more complete information.
Vines for screen enclosure in St. Augustine FL
Bignonia capreolata (crossvine) - perennial, evergreen, reaching 50 ft. in length. Claws at ends of tendrils allow crossvine to cling to stone, brick or fences without support. Blooms red, yellow March to May, medium water use, sun or part shade, attracts hummingbirds and butterflies. More information from Floridata.
Gelsemium sempervirens (evening trumpetflower) - evergreen, twining vine, will climb into trees, scramble over fences and structures, needs firm support and training with elastic twist-ties to climb, blooms yellow December to May, medium water use, sun or part shade, would need columns or arbor to climb, attracts butterflies and hummingbirds. WARNING: Flowers, leaves and roots are poisonous. More information from Floridata.
Lonicera sempervirens (trumpet honeysuckle) - high climbing, twining vine to 20 ft. long, semi-evergreeen, blooms red, yellow March to June, medium water use, sun or part shade, attracts butterflies and hummingbirds. More information from Floridata.
Parthenocissus quinquefolia (Virginia creeper) - woody, deciduous vine, high climbing or trailing; climbs by means of tendrils with disks that fasten onto bark or rock, blooms white, green May and June, low water use, sun, part shade or shade. WARNING: Berries are highly toxic. More information from Floridata.

Down with Oil
The U.S. has got oil galore,
But gov won't let us get it out.
Would not need foreign oil no more.
We got plenty right here - no doubt.
Economy is a machine
That doesn't work unless well oiled.
It's sputtering thanks to go green
That gets off on more cheap oil foiled.
So oil levels are getting low.
Gov knows this is the cold crank case,
But can't be bothered by this, so
Economy's going no place.
Bad oil checking powers that be,
All the dipsticks are in D.C.
