As you can see by the subject line, we went to the dead sea yesterday. We started out late in the morning and went to Masada first. That is a huge mountain with a gigantic fortress on the top that was the last stronghold of Jewish resistance to Roman rule before the second temple was destroyed. (Way before Jesus for those keeping track)
The cool part was the cisterns. My goodness, carved out of solid rock, the rain water was diverted by a series of channels also carved out of the rock and sent into huge holes that can hold millions of gallons of fresh water. People lived up there for years with only a few shipments a year of fresh food and animals brought up. It is a desolate place with an amazing view of the south end of the dead sea.
We drove past the border between Jordan and Israel and could see Mount Nemo where Moses first saw the promised land. After walking around on top of the mountain for about 3 hours, we were all suitably sunburned and overheated. So we rode the tram back down to the base of the mountain . The top was only 33 feet above sea level. For those of you who know me, yes my ears were killing me the whole way down. going to the lowest dry spot on Earth 1300 feet below sea level was an experience.
We ended up at the dead sea around 3pm and went to a public beach that was reasonably priced and had clean bathrooms and showers. We floated in the dead sea which was a slimy experience, but fun. Then hopped into a huge vat of dead sea mud and smeared ourselves down. I did not put it on my face because there are razor sharp rocks in that stuff. I guess the little pots of stuff that are so expensive have the rocks taken out for you. That is a plus, but I don't know if it is worth $100 for a cup of the stuff just because the rocks are gone.
The major brand of dead sea cosmetics has their machines about 100 meters away from the pool of goo we were in, so take that for what it's worth. I almost filled a zip lock of the goo, but figured I would have another opportunity later next week when the girls make a trip.
We took showers at the dead sea with fresh water and made it home in time to take another shower with soap, wash my hair and then go out to eat. We ate salads and sandwiches, nothing unusual.
We did pass Jerico on the way home. It is not a place I am allowed to go, but I could see it from the road, we also passed by the place where the dead sea scrolls were found. Every account of how they were found says the word "stumbled" now I can see why. One false move on the sides of those cliffs and you could fall hundreds of feet and bounce the whole way down. Yikes, goats and crazy people live that high up.
I crashed and hit the bed sleeping before 9. Today I need to tend my sunburn! Ouch.
Before lunch we are going to get a rental car and go to Tel Aviv for a half day of sight seeing and lunch. Its funny because there is a Hooters in Tel Aviv and that is where the guys want to go. Sunday we are keeping the car and will go to the sea of Galilee and see the sights up that way.
I will send out photos when we get them downloaded. The mud pictures should be great!
All is Well.
As promised, I had an interesting day yesterday and now here is the travel log and photos to go with it.
We hired a guide to take us to the Mount of Olives to see the many places up there that are not really within walking distance for normal humans without a camel to ride or some kind of donkey. For me, a taxi was the way to go. Considering that some of the areas it felt like we are taking off in a small plane on a short runway and could not have sat up if we wanted to.
We started at the garden of Gethsemane, or where Jesus spent his last night before he was arrested. The olive trees there are still original from that time. There are 8 of them. I have attached a photo. The garden is lovely, but tourists are only allowed to walk the perimeter, not go inside. The church of all nations is there, it has mosaics dating from the 5th century, they are under glass so the photos did not come out at all. There is also the rock where Jesus prayed the three prayers before his arrest. It is right under the Catholic alter and the chairs around it are for Mass. There was a service in progress while we were there, so it was difficult to actually see much. I was impressed with this church because several countries all got together and built it with no fighting. With as much blood that has been shed in this area, that in itself was a miracle.
Next was the Dominus Flevit, or the Lord Wept church. There are spectacular views of the old city from the sanctuary of the church and a mosaic from the 5th century that is completely intact. Also part of what came alive for me was an excavation of hundreds of tiny stone caskets that held the remains of infant boys that were put to death in order to kill the coming Messiah after it was fortold that Jesus was being born. Seeing the piles of them, no bigger than a modern cement block drove home the amount of fear that must have pervaded the area during that time.
The church of the Pasternoster, or Our Father is a church that houses the place where Jesus taught the Lord's prayer to his apostles. It is written on huge wall plaques taller than me in over 150 different languages. When it was first built it housed the plaques is 60 languages. The reason they have built the church is due to an excavation of the Lord's prayer on a tablet that was written in Latin. The church has been rebuilt and expanded several times since the times of the crusaders. There is also a Carmelite nunnery that runs the gift shop there. Lots of things made of Olive wood, plus hand embroidered Rosary bags made by the nuns. I got most of my souvenirs there.
We had to skip the church of Mary Magdalene because it was closed. Another time. I still have two weeks.
Next was the tomb of the Virgin. This is where the disciples took Mary's body to be protected. There is also the house of Mary that just holds a sarcophagus and notes the place where she was ascended into heaven body and soul. The two places are separate and different Christian religions believe different things. We also visited the home of Mary, where her parents are buried.
The tomb of king David is the exact same place as the hall of the last supper. They were both built in the time of the crusaders to mark these significant places. There is also a mosque on the same property from the time when there was full Muslim rule.
The last stop on top of the Mt. Zion was of course, a gift shop recommended by the tour guide. It was huge and we had the place to ourselves because two tours buses had just left. We had the best tea ever and wandered for at least 30 minutes. I finally found the roman glass pendant I wanted and some earrings that I will probably take apart when I get home. I liked the glass, but the design just did not do anything for me.
On our way down the hill we stopped at the Mosque of the Ascension. A mosque you say? Yes, the place where Jesus's body was taken to heaven is in the middle of a Muslim mosque. Its a tiny place, no bigger than a large bathroom, circular stone building with a rock on one side of the floor that is supposed to be Jesus' last footprint before he was taken up. It was built almost 400 years after he died.
After all of that, we went back into the old city for a late lunch and a bathroom break.
We still had time with the guide, so he asked us if we wanted to do the Via Dolorosa, or the stations of the cross. We agreed, since we were paid up for the whole day. It was really interesting to hear the tour guide's account of each station. He had asked us at the beginning what faith we were and how religious we are. He said he would give us the balanced tour and tell us what each faith believed at each station. That was really cool. I guess by this point, I should not have been surprised how little the Christian faiths agreed on.
We saw each station and ended in the church of the Holy Sepulchre where the crosses and the anointing stone are kept. Actually it is just where the holes where the crosses were. That is a hard sentence. I put all the religious souvenirs that I got from the nuns on all the holy places, so they could be blessed. It is amazing to me that so many things are still out there to touch. There are some things behind ropes or Plexiglas because of looters or people wanting to steal or deface it, but really, there is a lot of stuff unprotected. The first two stations are hotly debated, but the prison where Jesus was kept is all built in stone, you can even see the holes in the stone where the shackles would have been. I could stand up on the different cells, but my head bumped the top. It was very cold and damp in there.
Near that church is Mary's home. I covered that before, so I won't do it again. What was cool is the hall of the last supper is only a few hundred feet from where Mary's house is.
On the way home, we stopped at Hezekiah's Tunnel and the pool of Siloam. The pool is at the end of an underground stream that is the same stream that King David used for water when building the original city before 1000BC. It is considered to be one of the oldest sites in Jerusalem. We passed on the 1700 foot wade through the whole thing in thigh deep water, but enjoyed watching the school kids come out soaking wet and laughing. There are even T-shirts that say "I survived the tunnel" like the ones you see at amusement parks.
Because of traffic, we passed by the Christian cemetery where Oskar Schindler was buried in 1974. There is a WWII memorial and museum there as well as a Holocaust memorial nearby. Another day for that.
I think I would like to go back to the house where Mary lived. They were about to close by the time we got there and we only stayed for maybe two minutes before we were ushered out by the security.
We made it home, took showers, ate a snack, went swimming in the pool downstairs, got dressed again and went out for sushi. I've never had kosher sushi before, so that was interesting. They only had four kinds of fish. No eel, no shrimp and a very limited selection of other items. It was the only restaurant so far that has not had an English and Arabic menu.
Today I am resting and will probably get some groceries after I am finished downloading the pictures.
All is well.

Once the capital of the Kingdom of Hawaii, Lahaina is well worth a visit and a walking tour is a great way to see what it has to offer.
1 review
Monday, we headed out after our breakfast for a bus tour to Laihaina, Maui. What I can't figure out is why the ship doesn't dock in Lahaina, as other cruise ships do; probably because they make a lot of money bussing passengers to Lahaina each week. This bus driver was very pleasant, and described the scenery to us on the way there. We had fun seeing the art galleries, ate at a wonderful restaurant Cool Cats, where we had the best onion rings we've ever eaten, and $4 mango margaritas. We visited the famous banyan tree, and enjoyed the town, the ocean view, the Hawaiian shaved ice, and the trip as a whole.
Provider: Norwegian Cruise Line

Did Lahaina on your own. It was a quaint village town. Banyan tree park was nice. There was plenty of art. The water was beautiful. You did not need the whole day there. this should have been combined with something else.
Provider: Norwegian Cruise Line

Drove ourselves. Lahaina is a beautiful and well maintained little town with great shops and sights. The huge Banyan Tree is unbelievable! We were back to the ship in time for lunch. Hilo Hatties is the place for good quality gifts and clothes. Not crowded in Lahaina like Hilo and Honollu.
Provider: Independent Operator

We decided to book the Lahaina on your own tour instead of taking a bus or cab there so that we'd be back in time for when the ship leaves. We had plenty of time to shop, eat, and walk around.

Walking tour was very good

First stop after getting off the tender is the Old Lahaina Courthouse where you can pick up a free "self-guided walking tour." Lots of places within a short walk to visit. There is a lot of shopping nearby.

Germantown - Three seats are open in spring on the Germantown School Board and two newcomers will vie for School Board member Diana Kline's seat.
Kline did not file the correct paperwork declaring a re-election run or noncandidacy for seat four by the 5 p.m. deadline Jan. 2, which means filing for that seat had to be extended until 5 p.m. Monday. Germantown residents Jill North and Brian Medved (see separate stories) have filed for her seat and will run against each other in the April 2 election.
Kline could no longer file, according to the Germantown School District.
North is a hand therapist for a private practice hand surgeon at Elmbrook Memorial Hospital. She has two daughters who graduated from Germantown High School and a third daughter who is graduating in spring. Medved, owner and operator of WI Home Solutions LLC, has four children in the Germantown School District. Incumbents Bruce Warnimont and Michael Loth, whose terms expire in April, will run unopposed in spring. Warnimont holds seat two and Loth holds seat six.
Board members serve three-year terms and receive $4,000 annually.
Filing for local government did close last week. Germantown Village Board President Dean Wolter has decided to run for re-election as did District 2 Trustee Shane Daniels. Both will run unopposed.
Trustees and the president serve three-year terms. Trustees receive $5,500 a year and the president receives $8,000 annually.

Seattle Rock Day and Eric's history!
by Jolene
posted Apr 5 2012 11:02PM
Ahh Seattle Rock Day!!
This was so great! There is never enough time to play everyone, so tune in to Loud And Local Sunday at 11pm for my rollover special!
So a Rockaholic named Eric Glass gave me the ok to post his Seattle Music history....one of many but I sure got a kick out of it. Thanks Eric!
Just thought I'd share some of my Seattle Music history.
1992 : I worked at a public storage facility in Olympia where bands used to rent storage space to practice. One day I heard Metallica's – Seek & Destroy being played by a band. I walked down to the unit to see Nirvana playing a Metallica cover.
1992 : I went to see Tad and Coven play in Bremerton.
1992-1993 : I went to see Nirvana play at the Olympia Capitol Theater's back room.
1993 : I saw Panic play a show in Seattle with Sanctury at the time Sanctuary was changing their name to Nevermore. The show was called "Sanctuary is Nevermore".
1994 : I went to see White Zombie and Sepultura play at The Moore. Candle Box was the opening act.
1998 : I dated a girl in Olympia that was next door neighbors with Kathleen Hanna of Bikini Kill. My g/f said she was the WORST and LOUDEST neighbor EVER!
1999 : I went to a bar in Olympia (The Eastside Club) to see a local band called The Dirty Birds (which is an AWESOME local Olympia band). They opened their set with The Witch by The Sonics.
2002 : My friend Scott Swayze (guitarist for The Dirty Birds) flew to New York to go on tour with Modest Mouse to fill in on guitar.
Thanks again for a great night everyone!

Savory quick breads?
- Candice Feb 28, 2007 12:30 PM
I often make pumpkin or banana bread and was wondering if anybody has any good savory quick bread recipes. I'm not that into sweets and was thinking something with cheese, garlic, rosemary, etc. might be interesting. Thanks.
I actually posted this topic a few weeks ago: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/36449... The King Arthur link doesn't work, but if you go to their website, and go to the recipes, then click on "Biscuits, muffins & quickbreads" and then click on "Quickbreads & batter breads", it will take you to a whole slew of recipes.
Today's LA Times Food Section has interesting savory quick bread recipes. Check it out.
If you like pumpkin bread, try omitting the sugar (you can leave a couple tbsp) and adding curry powder.
A friend of mine also made an awesome bread using a basic batter and adding soup mix and grated cheese.
And you can never go wrong with a few sundried tomatoes.
I experiment with biscuit dough and use a variety of fresh herbs (e.g. rosemary, sage, thyme), cheeses (parmesean, sharp cheddar, asiago, bleu varieties), and spices, mixing a little (keeping track of which ones have what in them!) and then do a taste test. That gives me a flavour profile and an idea of what works and what doesn't. If a couple of friends are available and willing to be guinea pigs, we make an afternoon or evening of it and do a lot of taste testing. Combined with a bottle of wine, it's amazing what creative things you can make!
I made shortbread once with rosemary (minced) and grated parmesan instead of sweet ingredients. It was addicting!
re: susan1353
Ooooh, that would be great! Maybe with some black olives, too...
re: susan1353
If still interested, here's a recipe for zucchini and parmesan savory muffins. Can probably also be baked as bread.
I don't know if this falls in the realm of savory, but I made a rosemary olive oil cake this weekend (from the Babbo cookbook) that was amazing, it was both sweet and savory.
Beer Bread:
I made this a couple of days ago with a bottle of Sierra Nevada, about half ww flour, 4 oz grated sharp cheddar, and a small bunch of chives, chopped. Brought it to work and it was demolished inshort order. Really good!
Hi! I just made this olive, cheese and ham bread and my family loves it.
It tastes even better after a day, but I didn't refrigerate it it. Stayed really moist. In France, savory breads are often served at cocktail hour and might be cute into cubes for bite sized enjoyment. Strangely enough the French call them cakes!
I just made a basic cornbread and added a pesto swirl. You basically drop spoonfuls of pesto in the batter, then swirl with a knife and bake.

The Phil Gould Show: Benji Marshall benched
Benji Marshall will start on the bench Friday night when the Tigers take on the Rabbitohs. Have we seen the best of Benji or is the best yet to come?PT0M0S 620 349
- Autoplay OnOff
- Video feedback
- Video settings
Benji Marshall's axing to the bench has taken the spotlight off the under-performing Adam Blair, who this week turned to coach Mick Potter to help him rediscover his mojo.
The former Storm back-rower admits he has been out of sorts since joining the Tigers last season and has approached Potter for answers ahead of Friday night's clash against the table-topping Rabbitohs.
''I went to him to ask what I had to do to be better, or what I wasn't doing right,'' Blair said.
Out of sorts: Tigers forward Adam Blair. Photo: Brendan Esposito
''I think everyone knows what I can do, but I just haven't shown it, not enough of it anyway. I think that's where the expectation has come from, because people know what I can do and I haven't done it for the club yet.
''Of course I can get back there. I've sat down with the coach to see if there's anything I can do or anything he wants me to do. Once we get one win, everything will fall into place. He told me that we're just not playing to our structures … not doing what he wants at the moment.''
Former Broncos back-rower Gorden Tallis criticised Blair on Triple M last Friday night after the Tigers' 30-6 loss to the Sharks.
Tallis said Blair ''isn't putting in the effort that some of the teammates around him, on half his money, are''.
Potter defended Blair to his former Dragons teammate and took time out during the week to make sure the Kiwi international wasn't put off by Tallis' comments.
Blair insists he isn't fazed by the criticism and believes there are plenty of positive in his game going unnoticed because people are fixated on him having the same impact he did when he was at Melbourne.
''I didn't hear it myself but I was sitting down with the coach yesterday and he was telling me about it,'' Blair said. ''He spoke to Gordie and backed me up. He's come out and said all that stuff but it's really hard to try and perform at your best every week when you are losing. I'm not using that as an excuse but I know I'm better then what I'm doing.
''It's more my attack then anything. My defence is right and I'm doing all the little things for the team which people outside don't see. I get all the credit for that from my coaches and players at the club when I do that. The attack is what they see and what they know I can bring, but they're not seeing outside the square at the moment.''

FALFURRIAS - Sex offenders, murder suspects and gang members are making their way through the vast rangelands of Brooks County.
The Vickers ranch is one of the many land spreads affected by the surge in illegal immigration. What is more concerning to the ranch owners is the type of people trekking through their land.
Linda Vickers never wanders away from her house without her trusty canine companions - Blitz, Elsa, Schotten and Tinkerbell.
The dogs provide a sense of security in a land of insecurity.
"The safety factor out here has changed," Vickers said.
Vickers and her husband own and operate a nearly-1,000-acre ranch in Brooks County.
Vickers reports anyone who crosses her fence line to Border Patrol.
"As of yesterday, 196 illegal immigrants with 136 apprehensions by Border Patrol," she said.
The dogs sniff out those hiding in the brush.
"There are some good, helpless people. Then, there are some really bad ones," Vickers said.
Earlier this week, Vickers took a photo of a man on her front porch. She said the man had a Tango Blast tattoo.
Tango Blast is the largest and one of the most dangerous gangs operating in the state, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
"I sometimes have to take a step back and realize the jeopardy that could happen out here," Vickers said.
It's not just gang members that worry Vickers. Border Patrol agents arrested a wanted murderer near Falfurrias and sex offenders in the Rio Grande Valley last weekend.
"They're everywhere," Vickers said.
Border Patrol Spokesman Oscar Saldana said criminals won't turn themselves in like families and unaccompanied children.
"They may have something to hide," Saldana said. "Some of that criminal history can be very dangerous."
Still, Vickers won't leave her land.
"Even my husband couldn't blast me outta here," she said with a laugh.

CBS at press tour: More gay characters, Chen defended
CBS entertainment president Nina Tassler said the network is adding a trio of gay characters to its existing shows following a recent GLAAD report that gave the network a failing grade for the second year in a row.
Addressing reporters at the semi-annual Television Critics Association press tour, Tassler said a gay character will be added to new comedy "$#*! My Dad Says," returning comedy "Rules of Engagement" and legal drama "The Good Wife."
"We're disappointed in our track record so far," Tassler said. "We're going to do it. We're not happy with ourselves."
Asked about the exit of ABC's entertainment chief Steve McPherson, she said, "My first thought: 'Dammit, he got out of doing press tour.' "
Then added: "He's a great guy, a good friend and I wish him the best."
After the panel, Tassler said she'd be fully willing to buy a show from McPherson, should he pursue a producing career.
Tassler also defended casting Julie Chen on Sara Gilbert's upcoming daytime talk show -- whose title, she revealed, will be "The Talk." It's a panel show like "The View" only from a mom perspective. (Chen is the wife of CBS chief Les Moonves and the hire means Chen will have roles on three CBS programs.)
"It was Sara's idea," Tassler said. "We talked about people who had a profile. Julie has a terrific reputation. The executive producer of the show said, 'What about Julie, do you think she'd be interested?' I made the decision, I don't think Leslie is unhappy with the decision."
A couple critics chided Tassler for the "Hawaii Five-0" pilot being "dark and violent" which seemed like a rather odd description for the sun-soaked crime series.
Noting that CBS' upcoming new sitcom "$#*! My Dad Says" was inspired by a Twitter feed, and that freshman legal drama "The Defenders" started as a reality show pitch, Tassler emphasized that the network is developing from a more diverse variety of sources than ever before.
"You never know where your next hit is going to come from," she said. "It was a terrific year for us, but we are restless, motivated and paranoid" [about finding new hits]."
Before the session, CBS announced the upcoming edition of "Survivor" will feature older vs. younger castaways.
Also, the network announced four companies participating in the second season of breakout hit "Undercover Boss" -- NASCAR (Steve Phelps, senior vice president and CMO), DirecTV (Mike White, chairman, president and CEO), Chiquita Brands International, Inc. (Fernando Aguirre, chairman and CEO) and Great Wolf Resorts (Kimberly K. Schaefer, CEO).

Anti-government protesters react in Tahrir Square in Cairo on Friday. The Egyptian military guarded thousands of protesters pouring into Cairo's main square on Friday in an attempt to drive out President Hosni Mubarak after a week and a half of pro-democracy demonstrations.
WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama says Egypt is "making progress" toward a path forward out of the political crisis enveloping the country.
Obama didn't elaborate Monday in response to a reporter's question on the talks taking place in Egypt, where Vice President Omar Suleiman met several major opposition groups for the first time Sunday.
U.S. officials have indicated support for the talks, even though they don't meet protesters' demands for President Hosni Mubarak's immediate resignation. And some in Egypt see the U.S. support as contradicting Obama's repeated call for a transition in Egypt to begin "now."
Obama was asked about the situation in Egypt after speaking to the Chamber of Commerce. He replied, "Obviously Egypt has to negotiate a path, and I think they're making progress."

text: Post Office Ceasing Saturday Delivery Bad News for MSM Print article Send a Tip by John Nolte 6 Feb 2013 post a comment Starting in August, the United States Post Office will cease Saturday delivery of first class mail. Though packages and prescriptions will still be delivered; letters, fliers and newsweeklies will sit until Monday. Because the media is in as bad of financial shape as post office, some publishers are worried: Saturday delivery is a "reader experience issue," The Week's president, Steven Kotok, told Poynter by phone. The Week closes its issues late on Wednesday night and delivers them to postal centers Thursday morning, with the expectation that 90 percent of its subscribers will have their copies by Saturday at the latest. If that overflow day moves to Monday, "it's essentially two not-great options that we have to weigh," Kotok said. "Close earlier, which means you're gonna miss a little bit, or give up on the weekend thing and get it to them on Monday." The magazine, he said, is "called The Week because it kind of gives you a more thoughtful view on what's going on." Moving to Monday would change how readers use the magazine. "The Week" wouldn't be the only news magazine affected: The move is expected to affect a number of print magazines, including The Week, The Economist, Time Magazine, and Bloomberg Businessweek, which close toward the end of the week. Subscribers who receive those magazines on Saturdays could now have to wait until Monday morning, making the weeklies less timely. There's a big difference between receiving a magazine on the weekend, when you have a leisurely day or two to read it, and receiving it at the beginning of a busy work week. The chances of getting around to reading it are much less likely under those circumstances, and people tend to cancel subscriptions to things they no longer use -- especially in this faltering Obama economy where every dollar counts. Wonder how many of these media outlets shilled for that economy? Just asking. Follow John Nolte on Twitter @NolteNC

The match against Rice will be the first of a doubleheader at the Mitchell Tennis Center on Friday, as the Aggie men's team takes on TCU at 6 p.m. One ticket is good for both matches.
The Aggie women are 4-1 and enter the match against the Owls riding a four-match winning streak, having won every match since dropping the season opener to now-24th-ranked Ole Miss. No. 28 A&M is coming off its biggest win of the season after defeating then-No. 27 Washington in Seattle on Sunday. Despite playing their first indoor match of the season, the Aggies swept the doubles point for the third consecutive match and later built a 4-1 lead to secure the win.
Joffe briefly alluded to coaching his first match at Texas A&M following the Aggies' win at Washington, saying, "I've had taste of the (home crowd) at the men's doubleheader, but it is a little nerve-racking and exciting at the same time to be getting to do my first match as the coach at A&M. I am looking forward to it."
The Owls are 6-2 but have dropped their last two matches after opening the season 6-0. Most recently, Rice fell to No. 21 Alabama, 6-1, Saturday in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
Fourteenth-ranked Cristina Sanchez-Quintanar leads the Aggies with a perfect 5-0 mark in dual singles matches. Most recently the junior from Spain knocked off 18th-ranked Husky All-American Denise Dy in straight sets at the No. 1 line.
Sanchez-Quintanar will likely put her undefeated record on the line against another unbeaten on Friday, Rice's Natalie Beazant. The freshman is 8-0 and earned her second consecutive Conference-USA player of the week honor after defeating Alabama's 15th-ranked Mary Anne Macfarlane, 7-5, 6-0. Although currently unranked in singles, Beazant is No. 47 in doubles with partner Dominique Harmath.
The Aggies have won the last eight meetings and are 25-8 in the all-time series against Rice, a former Southwest Conference opponent. A&M defeated the Owls, 7-0, last year at the Mitchell Tennis Center. Rice's most recent victory over the Aggies was in 2000.
Season tickets and individual tickets to home matches can be purchased in advance online at AggieAthletics.com or by calling the Athletic Ticket Office at 1-888-99-AGGIE. Tickets also can be purchased at the entrance to the tennis center begin one hour before the start of the match.

November 23, 2014
A year ago we were just beginning to see the full extent of damage from Hurricane Katrina.
Twelve months later, we are still struggling to grasp the magnitude of what it will take for the Gulf Coast to recover.
Marking the anniversary of Katrina, President Bush wrapped up a two-day tour of the affected areas in New Orleans.
The president's last stop was in the Ninth Ward area of New Orleans, one of the areas hit hardest by Katrina and a community still struggling to survive.
A symbolic "first line" funeral remembered those who are gone and marked a full year since the storm.
In Mississippi, the symbols were even stronger.
The last two victims from the storm were buried Tuesday in Harrison County.
They are unknown but not un-named; the community calls them "Will" and "Strength".
But twelve months later, the debris from lives torn apart still stretches through Mississippi and across Southern Louisiana.
It is a painful reminder for survivors that recovery will take several more years to come.
Also troubling for some is the political storm that still seems to be churning in the strike zone.
City leaders are pushing for more help.
The president toured the devastation and talked about local responsibility.
"The federal government cannot do this job alone," said Mr. Bush.
Ultimately, survivors say it's not the politicians but the people, that will determine the future here.
That journey will take several years, especially in areas like the Ninth Ward where there are still miles of debris untouched since the storm.

Unfortunately, I'll be out of commission most of it.
President Obama has chosen Judge Sonia Sotomayor as his Supreme Court nominee to replace the retiring David Souter. She's been on the bench since 1992, and the White House notes that she has more judicial experience than any currently serving Justice had at the time of nomination. I'm sure that won't stop some right-wingers from claiming she's an affirmative action nominee.
The California Supreme Court is expected to issue its ruling on Proposition 8 around noon Central time today. Deeky at Shakesville notes that the Court is likely to uphold the marriage ban but confirm the legality of the marriages that took place before it passed, and he says the opinion will be posted here.
I'll be checking in later. Have at it in comments.

The ghost estates - housing developments that were abandoned when the Irish property boom hit the skids - are being targeted by foreign banks who are considering demolishing them and turning them back into greenfield sites.
Brendan McDonagh, the head of Ireland's National Asset Managment Agency (NAMA), told the Irish Independent that just as his agency was considering returning land purchased for property development back into its original agricultural state, some foreign owned banks Ulster Bank were also looking at similar solutions.
Irish taxpayers will pay for ghost estates

McDonagh added that the ideal solution would be to have people live in the ghost estates, but where that was impractical and the estate was predominantly unoccupied then levelling it could be the best option.
"Unfortunately, some of these ghost estates are in places they shouldn't have been built in, in the first place and demand isn't there," McDonagh said.

Pagac's Background Will Help Vikings Prepare For Tebow, Broncos Running GamePosted by on December 1, 2011 – 12:53 pm
We're in an era of football now where one of the most valued attributes a college QB can possess is experience and familiarity with running a "pro style" offense. And that's one of many reasons there is so much intrigue surrounding Broncos QB Tim Tebow right now – his most tangible attribute is the ability to run a college style offense in the NFL.
Tebow's been a hard player for opposing defenses to contain of late, as he's guided the Broncos to a 5-1 record since taking over as the team's starter in Week 7. In a league that displays and glorifies prolific passing attacks, Tebow and the Broncos are racking up wins by running the football. Since Tebow was named Denver's starter, the Broncos have a run-to-pass ratio of 249 to 135.
Much of the difficulty in stopping the Broncos rushing attack is that their scheme is not the standard NFL running scheme. It's literally an option offense, similar to those you'd see watching college football on Saturdays. As good as the Vikings are at stopping the run, containing Tebow and the Broncos ground game on Sunday will be a tall task.
But there is good news. Vikings Defensive Coordinator Fred Pagac is no stranger to stopping the option offense. Pagac spent 23 years coaching at his alma mater – Ohio State University – and has seen plenty of the option offense in his day. In 1998 with Pagac as defensive coordinator, the Buckeyes led the nation in rushing defense, ranked 2nd in pass defense and were 4th in overall defense. Also, Ohio State played in 20 bowl games while Pagac was on staff.
Pagac's long tenure in the college ranks will serve him and the Vikings defense well this week as they prepare to face Tebow, one of the best college players of all-time and a player who is doing in the NFL exactly what he did in college – win.
"Going back to college and playing option football," Pagac responded when asked about the adjustments he had to make in preparing for Denver this week. "That's part of their package now. They have different looks that they run base football out of, they have different looks that they're running the spread zone reads, the option game, so obviously we're going to have to be prepared on all facets of the game."
As for Tebow specifically, Pagac, who has seen a countless number of impressive offensive players in his 34 years as a football coach, was complimentary in talking about the 2nd-year pro.
"He's a competitive son of a gun that's a good football player," Pagac said. "Big, strong kid. Very, very competitive, and obviously he's like playing with a second running back in the game and you've got to be alert to it."

Yup, I don't see this going well for the Vikings.
By Parody on Dec 1, 2011 | Reply
Wow, McNabb was released and we haven't seen a blog about it? Instead, the site chooses to give us essentially repeat blogs about the "hype" and potential to win on Sunday…
Why am I not surprised?
Something big happens, but it could be taken in a negative light, so the site administrators are afraid to give it due consideration.
Personally, I don't know how it helped to release McNabb. He wasn't hurting the team from the sideline, and he appeared to be doing what he could to provide his veteran insight to Ponder on the sidelines. He must have been asking for his own release, hoping for the opportunity to take over for his hometown team in Chicago.
It didn't work out for him here, but I still think he handled everything with class, even if he didn't put forth the effort on the field. I hope things work out for him wherever he lands.

So with him gone do we have the money to pick up a better corner than asher allen .
By Parody on Dec 1, 2011 | Reply
I doubt that it's very likely McNabb will land in Chicago though. They're currently clawing for a wild card spot with 5-games to go. Atlanta and New York both have a good chance of pushing in front of Chicago as early as this week.
McNabb has failed miserably in the last 2-teams he was on, and Chicago needs someone who can win NOW. I think at best, he'd be a veteran backup for Chicago, and I seriously doubt that's what he's looking for.
By Parody on Dec 1, 2011 | Reply
Don – Who did you have in mind…and what good would it do the team to pick him up now? Anyone who is a free agent right now is very unlikely to have the skill to be reputable starter…even in front of someone like Asher Allen.
Right now, I can only assume that the team is freeing up roster space in hopes of hitting the jackpot on some overlooked young talent. It's not very likely, but at least it shows that the team is making preparations for the future.
By TheRealDon on Dec 1, 2011 | Reply
@Parody..I really didn't have anybody in mind..I just really have a problem with asher allen always have..I never liked him as a starter..
By Parody on Dec 1, 2011 | Reply
Then again, how interesting would it be to have Ponder end his rookie year facing off against the Veteran that was signed to start in front of him? That sounds like a great way to end chapter one in the book of Chrîstian.

Wow….I was just looking over Denver's roster, and came across something that really surprised me. Eric Decker's home town caught my eye, so I looked into it and I think I might have actually played against him in high school!
He would have been a sophömore during my Senior year, and we played a game against Rocori every year. There's no way a guy with that kind of talent wouldn't have been starting as a freshman, especially in a school as small as Rocori.
Too bad I never thought to get his autograph…
By Parody on Dec 1, 2011 | Reply
Okay, scratch that. Decker's college stats tell me he was held back a year, so he would have been a Freshman during my Senior year. Still, I would be VERY surprised if he wasn't already starting for Rocori.

They let McNabb go for monetary reasons I am sure – they had to sign a lot of Wal-Mart guys to replace all those IR guys.

Can't comment on this article printed because it is not worth commenting on – and I tried but it was not printed, that is ok. Mr Wobshall – is there anyway that we can find out the status of the players that every blogger is asking about? Arceneaux – Love etc – I can't for the life of me understand why we are not evaluating talent instead of playing people on the roster that clearly won't and shouldn't be here next year for various reasons. This seems to be a clouded issue that gets spun and spun. I did hear Coach Frazier say that they aren't playing Love because they want to be fair to Ponder and not get Ponder hurt. My question is this then – is Love that bad and if he is let him go now, but I don't think he is that bad and how could he be worse than Loadholt?

Wow, with all that coaching experience maybe we should apply to play in the Big Ten, we are playing in the wrong league.

To The Vikes and Fans:
It took only 11 weeks to get rid of a bad QB and it only took 5 weeks to ruin the Vikes season, I don't know how you can praise Frazier for getting rid of McScabb when he should never have traded for him in the first place. He was a has been when Philly let him go. We should have used Joe Webb from the start he has some very good skills at QB at least He could have won 2 or 3 games before they put Ponder in, I mean C. Ponder is a good QB for as long as he has been playing and he will improve he just needs more playing time Ponder didn't have the Luxury of sitting behind Farve the way A. Rogers of the cheese squeeze team had, what a 3 or 4 year learning curve before he started for the packers, No-wonder he was good when he started all he did was sit on his butt and learn defenses and his team didn't have to dig themselves out of a hole like the Vikes had to do. Thanks to Fraziers bad decission to get McScabb and than let him play for 5 1/2 weeks before they put Ponder in a very tough game to begin his career no wonder He's a little lost out there he doesn't have all the Luxuries Rogers had.

@ Derrick G, Dave, TheRealDon, Mike B., Bill, Tyler Harris, Lou Betts, Dionte, and PuckerTrucker,
You guys are great but we are not seeing much HIRE A GENERAL MANAGER
action are we?
I am not getting paid to do this! lol So I am not forming a club.
My predictions for next years draft….drum roll:
1st Round…Defensive Tackle
2nd Round…Wide Receiver
3rd Round…Running Back
4th Round….Linebacker
5th Round…Defensive Back
6th Round…Quarterback
7th Round…Offensive Lineman
Apparently that is what you all want, plus that is what you will get.
Complaining about the Coaches or Players WON'T DO DIDDLEY.

I might not be a genius…but anyone could do better drafting than the Vikings in the last ten years. If you are new to the blog, look at the drafts of 2003 and 2004.
A lot of those same dudes doing the drafting are still in the building. So why should you expect them to draft, trade, or deal for T, G, C, S, CB, or WRs?
You get what you play for!!!

Vikings 33 the word around the league is that Love doesn't have the proper footwork to be a starter on the Line

Do to Tebow like teams do to Vick.. Make him throw the ball and don't let him beat you running the ball ….

I hope we crush Tebow! He drives me insane, I don't understand why so many drool over the guy…

We do seem to have a good record against running QB's. Last year against Vick, This year against Cam Newton, Next up is Tebow.

@ Sanddiamond Thanks for the report – Love never had the proper footwork for pass protection in College – he was a Mauler in the run Game. At Tackle in College he could get away with it, all the Scouting reports said that he should move inside to Gaurd in the Pros because he can't slide protect fast enough, but the Vikes want him to play Tackle.

Now I recall Love pounding the way for those Ark running backs. Maybe the coaches will wise up and move him to guard and let Love and C. Johnson platoon next year

It is suppose to be that the defense was tremendous, but there is the intangible "phenomenon Tebow". I guess that deserves discussion about what the Broncos record would have Kyle Orton continued to play. It looked like a losing team with Orton. The D is great, but Tebow say what someone should get some credit for the 7-1. QB is usually judged by victory and defeat plain and simple. The numbers may not be there but the most important. Now this could be the Trent Dilfer argument again, but these reimbursements fourth quarter just make the discussion more interesting.anyway, for more news, we can visit http://www.tebowformvp.com/… thanx
