Today's compact cameras in no way resemble those of a generation ago. They are smaller and lighter than their predecessors, yet many of them have features that were once only found on much more advanced, expensive, cameras.
There are three things that characterize a modern compact camera: electronics, miniaturization, and simplicity. When taking pictures with one of these space-age marvels, you might hear it whir, buzz, or beep. Or, in the case of many digital cameras, you might hear nothing at all. If you hear a noise, the camera is letting you know that it's setting the proper exposure, focusing, snapping the picture, and preparing for the next shot. If there is insufficient light, it might automatically turn on the electronic flash. In a film camera, the camera will automatically rewind the film for you, but there's no rewinding necessary in a digital camera.
Loading a film camera and getting the film properly aligned is a snap. The backs of modern 35mm cameras are designed to be opened easily. The film cassette is dropped into its chamber, and the film leader is pulled out to an indicated mark. After making sure that the sprockets are engaged in the sprocket holes, the back is closed. The camera will then advance the film to the first frame, again, automatically.
Loading one of the Advanced Photo System (APS) cameras is even simpler. Just drop the film cartridge into the receptacle on the camera, snap it shut, and the camera does the rest. Loading a digital camera is even easier than that.
Most compact cameras are small enough to fit into a coat pocket, but packed inside is enough electronic wizardry to fly an airplane - well, almost. Because of micro chips that allow for super miniaturization, a modern camera has features that were never even dreamed of a few years ago. Many film cameras have a display panel that reveals such information as whether or not the film is loaded properly, the speed of the film, the number of exposures on the roll, the number of exposures shot, and the condition of the battery or batteries.
Digital cameras use an image sensing card, so no film information is necessary. Digital cameras do, however, provide for a variety of settings for image quality, depending on the shooting situation.
Additional features found on various film and digital camera models are such conveniences as a self-timer that delays the shutter so that the photographer can get in the picture, a built-in telephoto or zoom lens that allows you to adjust the image size, close focusing capabilities, compensation for backlighting, and voice-synthesized messages. Although some of these functions would be advantageous to some photographers, they may be unnecessary or even a nuisance to others.
With the variety of options available on various camera models, it's not easy choosing the compact camera that will best fit your needs, whether it's film or digital. Before buying a camera, check the photo magazines or consult a camera dealer to find out what features are available on various models. Make note of those you feel are most desirable for your picture-taking interests, then select the camera that best fits your needs.
Because of their size and ease of use, compact cameras make wonderful first cameras for youngsters and adults. In fact, many experienced photographers use a compact as a second camera. These cameras are unobtrusive and quick to use in grab shots of the family, and their weight makes them ideal for carrying on vacation.
Fortunately, today these cameras are referred to as compact cameras. But are they still "simple?" When it comes to ease of operation, you bet!

A Balance of Art and Light
Designer Shamir Shah tweaked the interiors of a window-filled Hamptons home by architect Shigeru Ban to reconcile his client's love of art with his desire to live in a glass house.
By Elle Decor Staff
What the Pros Know
As Shigeru Ban explains it, his Furniture Houses are part of a movement toward the use of prefabrication to create buildings that are anything but cookie-cutter. As shipping containers were the building blocks of Ban's Nomadic Museum, the oak cabinet/closets are the blocks of the Hamptons house. But the system's flexibility means that the building can relate intimately to its site. One goal, he says, is openness to the outdoors; in this house, the glass walls retract until there's nothing separating the natural and manufactured worlds. Another goal is transparency: When it's cold and the walls are closed, the curtains can remain open because Ban's clever floor plan has all but one of the rooms facing into the woods for maximum privacy. His final goal, he says, is using ambiguity to create architectural intrigue. In an arrangement inspired by Mies van der Rohe's 1929 Barcelona Pavilion -- and an unbuilt 1924 Mies house -- columns stand alongside walls, and it's not clear which of them hold up the roof: It's hard to tell what's supporting what.

Former North Bolivar School District Superintendent Jesse King said he wishes the new superintendent well and he hopes that the community is receptive of Johnnie Vick.
"My plans for the next few weeks are to ensure that Mr. Vick has a very smooth transition. I want him to use my insight to cue him in on the resources and plans that are already in place so that he can have the opportunity to review them and see how they are aligned with his plans for the new North Bolivar Consolidated School District and to continue to make sure that things are in tact," said King.
King said he believes Vick has the capacity to do marvelous work in this school district.
"It is his season and I want the community to rally with him and allow him to be a productive educational leader in the district. Anytime Mr. Vick needs a friend or someone to do anything to help the children achieve both college and career readiness, he can always call on me," he added.
He also said he believes Vick will take the district to new heights.
"I really hope that the community gives him an unbiased chance to do excellent work with the children in the district because he rightfully deserves it. I want the children of this new district to be given a win, win opportunity," continued King.
King said he would continue to be an advocate for children in Mississippi, particularly in the Delta.
"I am going to continue to serve the second congressional district on the state school board association and work with the city of Greenville to take the trustee position. I also plan to work in some other capacities in the Delta to help as many teachers, principals, administrators and community to improve the quality of education in the Delta," he added.
Former West Bolivar School District superintendent Henry Phillips said he plans to exercise all of his options.
"I am looking at retirement or possibly finding a job somewhere else. I wish the new superintendent the best," he added.
The Bolivar Commercial attempted to contact Shaw, Benoit and Mound Bayou superintendents but was unable to reach them for comments.
The new adjustments to the school districts is a result of the Mississippi Legislature mandated to reduce the number of school districts in Bolivar County and administrative consolidation is to take place at the 2014 school year.
Bolivar County is the only county in the state that has six school districts.
North Bolivar School District and Mound Bayou Public School District will consolidate and be renamed North Bolivar Consolidated School District with a total of 1,265 students.
West Bolivar School District, Shaw School District and Benoit School District will consolidate into West Bolivar Consolidated School District with a total of 1,689 students.
The first new consolidated district, the North Bolivar Consolidated School District, would consist of what is now the North Bolivar School District in Shelby and the Mound Bayou School District.
The central administrative office of the new consolidated district would be located in Mound Bayou.
The second new consolidated district, the West Bolivar Consolidated School District, would be comprised of what are now the West Bolivar School District, the Shaw School District and the Benoit School District.
The central administrative offices for the new consolidated district would be located in Rosedale.

Kingman, AZ to Las Vegas
November 29, 2011 by Traveler8343 · 1 Comment
We left Kingman, Arizona, on the 21st of July, after having to put down our beautiful, loyal Australian Terrier, Rocky, the day before after he put out is back for the second time in 5 months. We were very depressed and really not in the mood to go on at that point. But we did.
We planned to visit the Dam and the Lake Mead NRA. When we got to the dam, traffic was all backed up due to construction and anti-terrorist inspections of all vehicles. The large construction project included the creation of a separate bridge to carry non-dam-compatible (or will it be all?) traffic between Nevada and Arizona. Our RV was stopped and searched inside and out by a friendly officer.
The dam seemed a lot smaller than we remembered, based on the many movies we've seen it featured in. It was crowded with tourists. We remain amazed by how many European tourists are over here; on the other hand, everything in the States is on sale due to the continued weakness of the American dollar, so it shouldn't surprise us. Many Asian tourists were here as well. The dam had a single, seemed-like family-run souvenir and snack shop. Based on their location and lack of competition, the store is a goldmine.
Because of the traffic, which was bumper-to-bumper heading toward Las Vegas, and the 110+ degree temperature andsearing winds, we wisely chose to stay in our tow car, pass over the dam and head for the Lake Mead RV Village, which is just over the Nevada border. Maybe we'd return to the dam in the morning for a closer look.
On the way in to the NRA, it seemed like we had found a beautiful oasis in the middle of the desert. Surrounded by mountains, Lake Mead provides a stunning, picture-perfect backdrop to the RV park. We imagined cooling breezes off the lake and picturesque lakeside camping. Well, as they say in New York, FUHGEDABOUTIT. For 35+ bucks, we got a dried-up site in the middle of a very large and abandoned mobile home community. It appeared that the long-term residents had wisely left for the season; to return God only knows when. Our site came equipped with the skeleton of a prospector and his mule. Just kidding.
It was 112 degrees in the shade that first day and not much cooler at night. Exposed skin felt like it was way too close to a sun lamp. For those who complain that RV manufacturers put over-sized ACs in their RVs, we were very happy that they do. We were barely able to keep the inside temperature under 80.
And forget lakeside camping. The primo camp sites were in a line running parallel to the lakeside, which was still seemed like a good mile off in the distance. Maureen and I did take a walk in the lake's direction, through the cheaper, no-hookups campsites, where we saw a grand total of 3 tent campers, one of whom seemed to be passed out on his picnic table bench. We finally reached a road that was still at least 3 quarters of a mile away from the lake, where we gave up, having run low on water supplies and energy. We didn't want to add our bones to the ambiance of the place.
We found that we would have had to unhitch and drive down to the lakeside, which we weren't planning to do. So, forget about walking down to the beach. It would be at least a 10 minute drive from where we were in the RV park.
Well, although we paid for 2 nights and since we never unhitched, we left the next day, ostensibly to get dinner in Boulder City, but quickly deciding to keep on driving when we found out that Boulder City was a considerable distance in the direction we were heading anyway — west to Las Vegas. We just couldn't face another night at Lake Mead, which is probably a glorious place during the winter, whenever that was.
While on our way to the Las Vegas, Nevada "strip" (an appropriate name for the infamous main street in this town) for a few non-RVing days at the pyramidal Luxor Hotel and Casino, we decided to check out the Oasis Las Vegas RV Resort. A very classy RV park. They spent a lot of money setting this one up. It has separate Family-Children and Adults-Only swimming pools. The former has a sand beach area and the latter a spa. The RV sites are all paved and equipped with the standard hook-ups, including individual slot machines. Comps for big players include an upgrade to 50 AMP service, free HBO, half-priced tickets to the resort's karaoke night show and piped-in, chilled Perrier water instead of the lukewarm, chlorinated swill the rest of us had to drink. I'm just kidding; the sites have all of the standard hookups.
Seriously though, the place could use a repainting and the adults-only pool needs multi-language signs stating that they are, in fact, for adults only. We noticed that some of the many foreign tourists ignore/can't read the English-only, adults-only sign and show up with their whole family; including toddlers with leaky diapers and teenagers who love to practice their cannonball diving techniques.
The large reception building has a restaurant, exercise room, convenience store and a really miserable "library," (a library is something I always use to measure the quality of an RV "resort," along with the cleanliness of their bathrooms). The Oasis "library" holds perhaps two dozen dog-eared, cigarette smoke-saturated books, half of which are in German. The rest of the selection consisted of ancient VCR Tapes (does anyone even have a VCR anymore?).
But this place and this city are not about reading. Last night was karaoke night, with $6.95 hamburgers and grilled chicken. The karaoke singers came in from the outside as a group. They provided their own singers, a DJ and an appreciative audience (themselves). To give them credit, they brought along some pretty good singers, most of whom appeared to have professional backgrounds. Maureen was too intimidated by their singing skills to give it a whirl. I felt that she would have been among the best to go up to the mike. They really should have encouraged the real RVers to come up to the mike, but it seemed like they were having their own, private party and ignored the rest of us paying guests.
BTW, we spent the night before our arrival at the Oasis at a Microtel Motel, having gotten lost and never finding the Boulder City Oaks RV Resort, which was our first choice. Hilda, our GPS, just couldn't locate Boulder City Oaks. But, as it turned out, it wouldn't have mattered anyway. I learned the next morning that they didn't accept our "kind;" that being RVs less than 22 feet long; no matter how new and shiny they may be. Snobs.
Till next time,
The Traveler

12 Movies to Watch After You've Seen '12 Years a Slave'
Features By Christopher Campbell on October 27, 2013 | Comments (3)This weekend, the exceptional 12 Years a Slave began its initial expansion into wider release. Currently, the Steve McQueen film is playing in 123 theaters around the country, so a lot of people are just getting the chance to enjoy its brilliant performances and to be horrified by its most powerful scenes. When they exit the cinema, while wiping the tears from their eyes and attempting to rid their throats of the lump that's been lodged there for at least half an hour, audiences are going to be curious about who Lupita Nyong'o is and where they've seen Chiwetel Ejiofor before. They'll also be interested to know that they've just watched a remake, of sorts. 12 Years a Slave still has a ways to go before it reaches the mainstream, Middle America mall crowds. But when it does end up on a few thousand screens and watched by millions more, this guide will be here to recommend past films from the makers and stars of the movie, as well as some other relevant titles worth checking out.
The 10 Craziest Sci-Fi and Fantasy Bar Fights
Cinematic Listology By David Christopher Bell on August 28, 2013 | Comments (3)The World's End was a great film, and amongst its many covered genres, it made a pretty big mark in the ranks of epic bar brawl movies. To celebrate, why don't we explore some of the other great drunken tussles of the sci-fi and fantasy genres? Excellent. Glad you're on board. Because no matter what sorcery or technology you have at your fingertips, there's always time to get soused and hit someone.
What is Really the Best Sci-Fi Film Since 'The Matrix'?
Discussion By Christopher Campbell on September 29, 2012 | Comments (9)Rian Johnson's new film, Looper, is a pretty awesome time travel flick, one with as many elements that are clever and original as there are purposefully derivative and influenced. It's the kind of smart and stylish sci-fi cinema we expect every once in a while on the festival circuit, like Sound of My Voice (which hits DVD and Blu-ray this Tuesday), rather than from a major Hollywood studio. Looper does fit the indie model, though, since Sony/Tristar picked it up for distribution only after it was done shooting, yet as Brian's review of the film attests, we can still consider it a good sign for mainstream movies of this genre, and we can hope that Hollywood will see Johnson as the sort of directorial talent they need. But is it the best science fiction film since The Matrix? That's a question posed in a headline from Time magazine yesterday, though its respective post doesn't address such a discussion let alone attempt to answer the inquiry. Well, if we exclude superhero movies, animated features (Pixar, Miyazaki and The Iron Giant among them) and the Star Trek reboot, Looper is currently one of only two original studio films of its order to be battling for the status of best reviewed since the Wachowskis' groundbreaking modern classic. The other is Alfonso Cuaron's Children of Men.
No matter how big he wins, he will always be our underdog. Joss Whedon, the writer who cut his teeth on Roseanne and started cult phenomenons like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, seems perennially boned over by The Man who secretly placed a glass ceiling on his mainstream success. That is, until he Hulk smashed through it this summer. For some, it may seem strange to check out filmmaking thoughts from Whedon, since he's only directed three feature films (one of which has only been at festivals so far), but his success rate across mediums is unreal and his particular talent peerless. Serenity was and is a fan factory while The Avengers found the impossible sweet spot that satisfied fans and the financiers. Not to mention his screenwriting career and Oscar nomination. So here's a bit of free film school (for fans and filmmakers alike) from Joss the Boss. Maybe we'll learn who actually calls him that.
Now that The Avengers is a Hulk-sized hit on North American shores as well as overseas, the big question is what will Joss Whedon do next. As seen in this interview with Collider, the man appears to be pretty damn tired from this monster film that officially wrapped only a couple weeks ago. But Hollywood moves fast, and Marvel Studios moves even faster. Acolytes of Whedon are sounding the charge as if a revolution has occurred that makes the later seasons of his shows pale in comparison. The question is will Whedon be courted by the inevitable Avengers 2? Will he resurrect his TV series onto the big screen? Will Neil Patrick Harris be involved in any way? Here are the main options Whedon has before him.

I purchased a pot at a yard sale with what I thought was a dead rose tree still in it. The pot sat in my yard in the shade for about a month. I was going to dump the dirt and clean the pot this weekend, but to my suprise a sucker has started to grow from the roots. Should I try to root the sucker,or leave it attached and cut the dead dead tree stalk back to ground level and see what else developes ? |
Follow-Up Postings:
If its a grafted tree rose you have, then the growth coming up from below is the Rootstock that the desired variety was grafted onto. Its unlikely to be a variety you'll want, and almost certainly not a repeat bloomer. Make your decision based on that info. |

You don't want a sucker. Dump the dirt, clean the pot, and put the rose tree in the trash. |

Your friends will hate me for thos but something is growing well in that pot, it's yours and didn't cost anything so keep it just a is and see what it does. I used to cut off suckers and offshoots to reroot but this year just let them be and the quality from that new growth is amazing. When we moved into this house there was a gorgeous Chicago Peace that was soon attacked by something and died all the way down to the ground. It had such big roots that proved impossible to get out to toss so mI just left it for dead and planted around it. In a bit started to leaf and than something gor it again. It has branched out this season from the base with huge, fragrant blooms that far surpass the original. So sometimes it just pays to ignore it and keep on doing whatever or not you are doing. Now I must admit I have three suckers in large pots first year one is in the ground and I bet my neighbor that I could get them to bloom and they did at first but not all that gorgeous like the original and now are just leafing but very healthy so eventually if I need the potted space and they don't pan out not into any great expense. In other words wait and see what the magic of nature brings.. |

Chicago Peace is just a sport of Peace rose. Peace rose has hardly any fragrance, is not very hardy, and is susceptible to blackspot. Chicago Peace is the same as Peace, just pink. Hardly any fragrance, very susceptible to blackspot. There is no wonder your Chicago Peace died. Just as well, it's a garbage rose to begin with. Just because the sucker is better than Chicago Peace, is not saying very much. I wouldn't grow the Chicago Peace at all. Now, if you said Pink Peace, that would be totally different, Pink Peace is extremely fragrant, hardy, and extremely easy to grow, it won the Gold Medal in 1959, and I would easily grow Pink Peace in my garden if the garden centres would stock it. Since David Austins are being stocked more regularly now, I have a penchant for them, also they are easier to propagate than Hybrid Teas, which makes them more attractive to me. The suckers are just rootstock. You'll have to get rid of it eventually, the sooner the better, so you can grow something worthwhile. May I recommend Tiffany, or Pink Peace, two of my favourites, that have died out from my garden, since I live fairly north. DA's do great here though, they get bigger each year. Sativa. |

The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office (the "JPSO") is a stand-alone governmental entity, separate and apart from the Parish Council. The Sheriff's Office was originally created in 1825. The Sheriff's position is reaffirmed by Article V, Section 27 of the Louisiana Constitution of 1974. The Sheriff is a separately elected official elected by the citizens of the parish in a general popular election every four years.
The JPSO is charged with four main responsibilities:
Because of these responsibilities, the JPSO is one of the most complex local governmental entities in the state. Current staffing levels are just over 1,500 employees, with an operating budget in excess of $100 million.
See the section titled "Org Chart" for more information on our organizational structure. Also, see the section titled "JPSO Districts" for maps of our district boundaries. The section titled "JPSO History" provides a list of the Sheriff's that have served Jefferson Parish and their years of service. The "Fallen Officers" section provides information on those officers who made the ultimate sacrifice.
See the "Admin and Financial" section for more details on the administration of our office and for information on our operating budgets and financial statements.

I have been buying this for my college student since he was in elementary school. He likes the all-in-one concept and the fragrance. I say whatever works when it comes to getting boys thoroughly clean.
I'm not a huge fan for myself as I prefer a separate, higher quality shampoo. However, the fragrance is wonderful and the bathroom smells great after using it. Just use it as a body wash and you still get value.
The ONLY reason why I don't have this at 5 lippies is because the smell doesn't last all day. The one time I didn't do my exhausting skin care routine with the body butter, perfume, hair perfume, I noticed it only lasted around 5 hours. This is a slight issue for me, but other than that, it's like the other philosophy products- awesome!!!
Really love the scent of this gel ! Fantastic ! It fills the shower with a incredible scent. Too bad it is so expensive in Europe and very hard to find. But will buy it again and again as it smells so good. Packaging is not very handy, a very large bottle.
Smells heavenly ! ! Love this stuff. Only used it as body wash, not shampoo. Lathers great. It makes me want to eat cinnamon buns while I shower. The packaging is neat as it gives an actual recipe for Cinnamon Buns on the bottle! mmm
bit pricey tho. I only get it for a treat!
I LOVE the scent of this 3 in 1. My biggest problem with Philosophy's 3 in 1's (and the rest of the brand) is how pricy everything is. I use this and the other ones as a shampoo, shower gel, bubble bath, and shaving cream. So it's more like a 4 in 1 to me. I will even use them to wash my hands sometimes so, really, it's like a 5 in 1. Even with all the use this is getting, I don't waste it. The smell lasts until you rinse it off then it's gone.
I've only used this as a shower gel, and it smells delicious - sweet and creamy, vanilla and cinnamon, so comforting, especially during winter. Its texture is thick and rich, and a little goes a long well - it lathers really well. Unfortunately the smell doesn't last, on my skin or in the shower, like other shower gels. But it does smell amazing when I'm using it in the shower, and the bottles last a long time, since you don't need to use very much - a good thing, since IMO it's pretty expensive. But I love it, and will repurchase.
While this does have a delicious smell, it doesn't linger. So that could be a good or bad thing depending on your preference. It does lather nicely and has a very soft, velvet-like feel to the lather. However, despite it's scent, it's just your basic body wash. Not overly moisturizing, not overly drying. Just a middle of the road type of product. I know Philosophy has almost a cult following, and I've used quite a number of their products. But this got a 4 overall because there are other similarly-scented body washes out there that provide the same clean for a much cheaper price per ounce.

An amendment to the state constitution that would have made it more difficult to increase pension benefits for public employees won the majority of votes but still failed to pass.
The proposed amendment needed either a favorable vote from three-fifths of those voting on it, or 50 percent of the total votes cast in Tuesday's election. It fell short of both criteria.
With about 90 percent of the vote reported this morning, the amendment had support from 56 percent of Illinoisans who voted on the measure. About 5 million people voted in the election.
The amendment would have required a three-fifths vote of the Legislature.
Illinois' pension system is severely underfunded, but critics pointed out the new rule would do nothing to make up the $85 billion shortfall the state owes its five public pension systems.
The amendment also would have raised the requirement for other public bodies, including city councils and school boards, to pass anything that would increase pension costs, aside from higher wages.
Bruce Appleby, member of the State Universities Annuitants Association's board of directors, said the amendment could have given Legislature the ability to take away pension benefits from workers if it passed.
He said this could have driven out present and future educators and hurt Illinois in the long run.
Mayor Joel Fritzler said he supported the amendment because it made it difficult for pensions to be raised and could have helped resolve problems that contribute to some of Illinois' budget issues.
"Unfortunately, in the past the General Assembly just kept raising and raising the pensions for certain groups of workers," he said.
Appleby said he doubted retirees who currently receive pensions would have been hurt by the amendment. Joyce Webb, who receives her deceased husband's pension, worried she would lose the benefits she and her husband worked for.
"We had saved and invested in annuities so that there would be enough for whoever was left alone, and that has worked out very well," she said.

Lufkin, Texas — A concerned parent approached the Lufkin school board Thursday night to complain that the school's gymnasiums are allowed to get too hot, putting student-athletes in danger.
Members of the community were present in support of the issue. Pam Jentz presented the issue and asked that action be taken on the matter. She presented the board with a petition signed by approximately 70 community members. The board members are required to follow a set procedures when addressing a new issue, so they were only permitted to listen and ask questions for clarification during the process.

Homemade BBQ Sauce
Friday, 13 May 2011
Here's our 3rd condiment: BBQ sauce. I think that the 1st two condiments, homemade ketchup and ranch dressing, are pretty American, and now that I think about it, isn't BBQ sauce too? Are we obsessed with condiments in this country?
Anyway, while BBQ sauce isn't quite as versatile as ketchup (in my opinion), it definitely has its purpose and it is irreplaceable. Of course it's perfect for grilling, and you can use it for pulled pork (or for that matter, pulled chicken). It's also great as a dip for French fries.
Adjust this recipe to your tastes. You can make it more or less spicy or sweet depending on how you like your BBQ sauce. Don't be afraid to experiment and have fun with it!
If you're from another country, what condiments do you use? If you're American, what's your favorite condiment?
Homemade BBQ Sauce
- 2 C ketchup
- 1/8 C apple cider vinegar
- 6 T brown sugar
- 1 T honey
- 2 1/2 t Worcestershire sauce
- 1 t Tapatio
- 1/2 t smoked paprika
- 1/2 t salt
- 1/4 t garlic powder
- 1/8 t chili powder
- 1/8 t cayenne pepper
- Pinch of ground cumin
Place all ingredients in a large bowl and mix until thoroughly combined. Taste and add more spices, sugar or vinegar to achieve desired flavor. Store tightly sealed in fridge for up to a month.

There's a certain edge in Mexican/Texan/New Mexican cuisine where pain and pleasure sit holding hands. You can't get there if you're a pussy, order your chile on the side, stay away from the saturated reds of a serious hellfire sauce, or are unwilling to suffer some uncomfortably volcanic intestinal complaints. The only way to get there — to taste that fine intersection between the high ends of the Scoville scale and the sweet, smoky piquancy in that garden of pain — is to eat recklessly. And the camarones rancheros at Tacos Jalisco are a very good place to start.
From there you can go in many directions. The menu is long, with a full-board breakfast (burritos and chilaquiles, huevos divorciados and steak-and-egg plates that are far more ranchero than the aforementioned camarones), seafood plates, posole (which sells out fast) and menudo (which doesn't), tacos and burritos made with excellent carnitas, with carne asada, with chicken (so simple and plain, yet still handled well) and, from the other end of the animal, with beef cheek and lengua and buche. Because Jalisco is neither entirely American nor entirely Mexican nor entirely Tex-Mex, but weirdly, smushed-uppedly and wonderfully Colorado-Mexican, there's pork-shot green chile smothering half the dishes, as well as freakishly authentic Michoacán tacos al albañil with jalapeños and potatoes and a few borderless losers mixed in among the winners. On one recent afternoon, with a yen for something fried and beefy, I had a plate of flautas that left my tongue sour and slicked with grease for an hour. But at the same meal, I had an à la carte tamale that was as traditional as anything to be found sur de la frontera. No fluttery twists of decorative corn husk, no lemongrass, no mango salsa: just meat, masa, smoky, dry heat and years and years of practice.
Tacos Jalisco is rare in that it still serves free chips. It's double rare in that it braces them with a flight of four salsas — all fresh, three of them awesome. A simple salsa fresca showcases the chill excellence of the tomato's friendship with the jalapeño chile; a tomatillo has the savor and salt and heat to make a grown man blush; a liquid red tomato salsa mixes sweetness and heat in equal measure, bringing forward the tomato's fruity qualities and the chile's vegetable savor. The only one I wasn't crazy about was the smooth and creamy-green avocado salsa. The fattiness of an avocado does not take well to being puréed, which makes it taste sludgy and almost eggy — and the addition of too much cilantro and jalapeño doesn't help.

Sitting in a small, straight-backed booth in the tight, narrow confines of the left-hand dining room the other night, I watched a crowd silently staring at a bunch of men running on the silent TV — some qualifying Olympics heat. The only sounds were the black-and-white-liveried waiters behind me talking quietly in Spanish (either about the state of the fish tank at the front of the house or the state of that day's fish delivery, my Spanish failing me in what was probably a pretty critical moment) and the splattering sizzle of fajita platters heading down the opposite wing of the dining room. On the flat screen, someone won something, and all I was thinking about was how I wanted to go around to the tables of all the distracted patrons and eat their dinners. My own — a desebrado burrito that weighed as much as a brick, was fat as my forearm and stuffed with beans and chopped, roasted chiles and shredded beef — was good enough, but there was so much more to try. For example, the seafood soup — shrimp and fresh fish in a spicy broth, like a coastal Mexican cioppino — recently added to the menu, and caldo de albondigas every Tuesday and Wednesday. And the posole has been sold out every time I ask.
But this is enough for now. I've memorized most of the phrasebook Spanish written on the disposable placemats ("I would like barbecue": quisiera barbacoa...) and know what I want to eat when I'm in need of some true Southern comfort: camarones rancheros, with extra tortillas and two beers back — pure Colorado consolation every time.
And maybe one of these days I'll be able to get that bowl of posole, too.

The CLARK HANDICAP from Churchill Downs has been upgraded to Grade 1 status on the strength of its recent winners. Horses like Saint Liam, Einstein, Blame and Wise Dan have strengthened the reputation of the 9 furlongs race. This year's race will go forward at 5:35 ET on Friday.
POOL PLAY enters this race after failing to close in the Breeders' Cup Classic where he finished eighth. Toss that race, as nothing could come from off the pace on that day. Backers have to love that his only race on this track was a win in the 2011 edition of the Grade 1 Stephen Foster Handicap. Trainer Mark Casse looks to have him sharp for jockey Corey Lanerie.
2009 Queen's Plate winner EYE OF THE LEOPARD will try to score his first dirt victory for trainer D Wayne Lukas. Given his pedigree, by A.P. Indy out of a Smart Strike dam, there is no reason he can't move up on the surface switch. Jockey Jon Court knows this track as good as anyone and should provide a good ride.
SHACKLEFORD'S lone start at Churchill Downs this year was a win over 2011 Breeders' Cup Sprint winner Amazombie in the Churchill Downs Stakes. The Metropolitan Mile winner hasn't competed in a route race since finishing poorly in the Donn Handicap to start his 2012 campaign. There is no reason he can't make amends for that effort. The 2011 Preakness winner will look to go out with a bang as he is reunited with jockey Jesus Castanon. Dale Romans is the trainer.
BOURBON COURAGE finally lived up to his potential with a five length Super Derby win two races back. He followed it up with a second place finish in the Indiana Derby. The distance suits him well and this is the time of the year that some of the late blooming sophomores catch up to their older peers. Kellyn Gorder trains for jockey Leandro Goncalves.
CEASE looks like a horse that is improving. He was third in the Woodward at Saratoga and just missed in the Hawthorne Gold Cup where he finished second. The Al Stall trained gelding loves the distance and should get plenty of pace to chase. Hot riding Miguel Mena will be in the irons.
Calvin Borel has owned Churchill Downs in the past, but has cooled down recently. He hopes to be as good once as he ever was aboard TAKE CHARGE INDY. The Florida Derby champion returned from a break on October 27 to be third in the Fayette Stakes at Keeneland after setting the pace. Look for him to keep Shackleford company near the front. Patrick Byrne is the trainer.
While others went to the Breeders' Cup, FAST FALCON has been lying in wait for this event. The Nick Zito pupil likes to come with a late run. He used his closing kick to finish third in the Travers and second in the Dwyer. His last trip to the track saw him flatten in the stretch to finish fifth in the Jockey Club Gold Cup. This distance is right up his alley. Shaun Bridgmahon is the rider.
STEALCASE has tried his hand against top horses on several occasions this year. He finally got his first graded stakes win when he triumphed in the Ontario Derby three races ago at Woodbine. He was last seen finishing third in the Ack Ack Handicap over this track. It will take a move forward, but it looks like he has the sort of talent it takes to compete on this stage. Brian Hernandez, fresh off a Breeders' Cup Classic win, rides for Mark Casse.
MISSION IMPAZIBLE has won only three races in his career, but has earned over $1.2 million thanks to a slew of graded stakes placing's to go along with his Louisiana Derby and New Orleans Handicap wins. He has performed well at Churchill Downs, despite not winning in six tries. If he comes with the effort that saw him finish second by a nose in this year's Donn Handicap then he's got a chance to win. Todd Pletcher trains and JJ Castellano stays aboard. This horse was second in last year's Clark Handicap.
Bill Mott likes to quietly bring horses along before allowing them to thunder to a big time win and that is exactly what he has done with LUNAR VICTORY. The five-year-old son of Speightstown was brought home at the end of last year after beginning his career in Great Britain. Since then, he has won six of eight starts, including the New York bred Empire Classic Stakes when last seen. He easily defeated Saratoga Snacks in that race, and that horse that looks to have a lot of potential. Jockey Junior Alvarado could be sitting on any kind of horse. We have no idea how deep the well is.
Nothing in this race excites me from a wagering viewpoint. I'm going to sit this one out. The favorites don't offer enough value and I see too many flaws in some of the middle and longer priced horses.
As a fan, I'd like to see jockey Jesus Castanon ride Shackleford off into the sunset. The 2011 Preakness was a break through win for both jockey and trainer. Let's hope they can go out on top.

Taylor Momsen Puts Naked Butt on New The Pretty Reckless Album Cover (PHOTO)
Truth rating: 10
By Daniel Gates | 4:17 pm, January 21st, 2014
PHOTOTaylor Momsen has debuted the cover art for The Pretty Reckless' upcoming album "Going To Hell."
It shows her butt.
The onetime "Gossip Girl" star's naked backside is on display, with a giant arrow/cross on her back pointing down to her derriere (see right and below).
Of course, Momsen is no stranger to nudity in service to her art.
The rocker got naked for the group's video "Under the Water."
What do you think of the new album art?

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Daiquiri!
Facts about Daiquiri
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Calico Or Dilute Calico
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Daiquiri's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Daiquiri is a gray and white tabby girl who is approximately a year old. She was surrendered to Chicago animal control with her babies who are all weaned now. She loves belly rubs and toy mice. Now that her babies are ready for homes, she is looking for a new forever home. She loves other cats, small dogs, and children.
Daiquiri is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated against distemper and rabies, combo-tested negative for FIV/Leuk, and treated for all parasites.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Daiquiri, a Addison Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Addison, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Addison.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Addison already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Addison breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Addison paves the way for another one to be saved.

By Scott Raab

"You have no pacemaker or zing like zat?" Schmit asks.
No idle question: The direct-current electrodes inside the furnace pack the wallop of a lightning strike — thirty-five million watts. The accompanying scream — of steel being melted to magma at 1600 degrees — has a certain terror to it, a quality of noise beyond all noise. Flames billow, flinging sparks in long trails, and the heat radiates even to the flight of stairs up to the door of a command post where the furnace operator sits in an air-conditioned, pale-tiled room, surrounded on three sides by computers, his fitted earplugs dangling from a lanyard, listening to Eric Clapton on the radio.
"We just have a short look outside," says Schmit, smiling, stepping to a side door opening on the volcano, "to give you some impression. It will be quite hot."
Yo. Quite. Fucking. Hot.
Nowhere else does anyone roll the 730-pound-per-foot wide-flanged H beams — "jumbos," Arcelor calls them — that form the heart of the Freedom Tower columns. The liquefied scrap, analyzed and then refined in a second furnace, where alloys are added to bring it to the proper grade, is next poured and cast in a continuous molten stream, molded, water-cooled, and cut by oxygen torches into rough and glowing segments called "beam blanks" — embryonic beams — still throbbing at the core with heat.
The rolling process shapes the cooling mass of steel to the customer's order. The blanks are squeezed — back and forth, over and over — thundering through sets of automatic rollers, incrementally thinning and lengthening the beam, deforming and recrystallizing the steel's molecular grain as the flanges, web, and chamber are shaved, pass by narrowing pass, slowly into being, giving the finished H beam its enormous tensile strength.
It is this rolling process and the H beams it produces that enable the erection of superstructures like the Freedom Tower. Once upon a time, they rolled them in the United States, at Bethlehem Steel and U. S. Steel. The titanic columns of the Twin Towers themselves were pieced out to smaller steelmakers across the U. S. A. when the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey — ground zero's owner, then and now — suspected that U. S. and Bethlehem had rigged their bids back in the sixties. But American Big Steel is smaller now — hell, they're building a casino where the furnaces at Bethlehem once roared — and its profits come from minimills, not beasts like Differdange. So it's hard not to feel a pang looking at the "Arcelor Loves New York" poster in the office display case at the mill, with a photo of the Manhattan skyline marked by thirty thin lines leading from tall night-lit towers to the Arcelor logo.
"In New York," says Lambert Schmit, "there are a great number of buildings that have at least some of our product inside." Schmit visited the city once, in the spring of 2001.
"My girlfriend told me, 'Let's go to the tower restaurant' " — Windows on the World, on the 107th floor of the north twin, where, in 1989, Brian Lyons popped the question to his wife. "We went up," Schmit says now, "but we did not have dinner zere."
Across the driveway from the mill entrance, there is a memorial, a bas-relief in bronze embedded in a mortared wall of stone: a muscular young steelworker, naked to the waist, his fists clenched at his sides, his visage baleful. A row of names is carved into the stone on either side of him — thirty-three in all — conscripts, Schmit explains, seized by the Nazis during their occupation of Luxembourg and sent from their mill jobs to the Eastern front to fight and die.
A separate plaque fixed to the base of the wall contains six names. A La Memoire Des Heros De La Greve, it reads, above 2 Septembre 1942.
"You see," Schmit says, "on September the second, zere was an uprising. Ze Germans, zey wanted to exploit the works, and ze workers laid down. Zey stopped working. Zey tried to organize a work stop. Ze leaders" — the men named on the plaque — "zey were taken away and shot. Every year zey make a commemoration of this happening. It's still not forgotten."
After the first batch of Freedom Tower jumbos has been cast and rolled and cooled, Lambert Schmit and five younger Arcelor steelworkers in orange jumpsuits and white hard hats gather on the beams for a group photo. They're smiling, talking softly, looking shy and more than just a little proud.
Differdange to the port of Antwerp is 130 miles or so, an hour-and-twenty-minute drive for a crazed Portuguese cabbie. The Freedom Tower steel — forty-eight beams in all, from thirty to fifty-six feet in length, weighing a total of eight hundred tons — takes the train. And though steel is king at Differdange, once at the port — fourth largest in the world, handling sixteen thousand ships a year — it's just another load on vessels hauling fifty-two thousand tons of shipping containers and break-bulk cargo. Pieced into four lots for the North Atlantic crossing, the beams await their passage to Virginia, where they'll be fabricated as columns — welded and plated, drilled and milled — before being trucked to ground zero.
Twelve jumbos, chained atop three wheeled trailers, are shipping on the Swedish-flagged Atlantic Cartier, a ship three football fields long, whose silver-bearded, pink-cheeked king is Captain Jonas Rahmberg, a burly, smiling son of Gteborg, sixty-two years old, wearing dark dress pants and four gold bars on the navy-blue epaulets of his pressed short-sleeved white shirt.
"No, no," Captain Jonas insists. "Twenty, thirty, forty years ago, I must agree, the captain was the king. He was, really. It's yoost an ordinary yob now, more or less. I'm the boss, but I'm not God."
Ah, but do you have a cook on board?
"Yah. One chief cook and one second cook."
And if you feel like an omelette or a ham-and-cheese at 3 A.M., you can simply call the cook?
"I can do it. But I don't do it. They start six o'clock, so I can wait. Then I got my egg and bacon."
The captain's quarters are way up on the tenth deck, with plenty of wood and windows, a model of his ship under glass atop a low bookcase, a Jack Daniel's desk organizer — much of his yob is paperwork — and a regal view north along the River Scheldt, which links the Port of Antwerp to the North Sea.
Cap has been at sea for forty-two years now, twenty as commanding officer, the past fifteen at the helm of the Cartier.
"I have a crew of twenty-five. We are four Swedish and twenty-one Filipinos, the junior officers and crew, very nice guys. It's always the same boat and the same route — from here to Liverpool, then Halifax, then down to New York, Baltimore, and Portsmouth, Virginia. One trip is five weeks, and we have twelve to thirteen ports in that time, so we have one port every day and then six days crossing each way. I work five weeks and then I'm home five weeks. That means, if you turn it around, I'm away half the year from home. So you need to have a good wife."
The Atlantic Cartier has plied the open sea since 1985 — an "old lady," Rahmberg calls her — and she's relatively slow. "Seventeen, eighteen knots. The new Maersk lines, probably they making twenty-five knots. But we have 30,000 horsepower. They have 130,000, plus they burn much more oil, too. It's a good ship. Some ships are shaking like hell, but this one is good."

Press Release
55 students begin Eller Executive MBA in Phoenix
Quality and experience characterize inaugural class as it embarks on rigorous 14-month program
TUCSON, Ariz. – September 13, 2006 – Eller College of Management's Executive MBA (EMBA) is off and running with its inaugural Phoenix, Ariz. class. The new program's unique curriculum and aggressive 14-month duration has proven its broad appeal to mid-career adults in the Southwestern U.S., drawing 55 students.
The first Eller EMBA Phoenix class began on August 26 with a rigorous week-long module in Tucson focusing on leadership and negotiation. For the remainder of the 14-month program students will attend class every other weekend at the Scottsdale (Ariz.) Marriott at McDowell Mountains. Students will travel to Scottsdale from neighboring regional locations such as California, Nevada, and Texas.
"For the business professional, having an MBA has almost become a price of entry in today's competitive work environment," commented Eller EMBA student Rudy Blanco, director of finance and accounting, Camelback Inn, Marriott International, Inc. "In looking at the vast offerings in the marketplace, Eller's EMBA program clearly provides the academic rigor one would expect from a top-notch business program, yet offers it within a creative, flexible, and convenient 14-month timeframe," he added.
Brent Chrite, director of the MBA program, is delighted with the quality of the class. "We could not be more pleased with the reception of this new program," he stated. "The Phoenix marketplace is competitive and dynamic and there are already a number of great MBA options in the Valley. It was essential that we enter this market with a product that was competitively positioned and differentiated in its structure, content, and approach to executive graduate management education. A lot of time and energy was invested to provide a number of spring information sessions and it has paid off. This allowed us to be very selective and fill the class quickly."
The students in this first Phoenix class bring significant business savvy, averaging 14.5 years of work experience. The composition of the class is largely from the corporate sector, but there are students from government, non-profit, and entrepreneurial realms, as well. Enterprises represented include Pitney Bowes, Pizza Hut, Inc., Compass Bank, Intel Corporation, Salt River Project, Navajo Nation, Neighborhood Housing Services of Phoenix, and Free Arts of Arizona.
EMBA student Lee Woodward, vice president of human resources for Honeywell International, Inc., was enthusiastic about the intensity of the coursework and the interactive environment during the first week of class. "I walked away from the first week completely energized and it validated my decision to attend the Eller EMBA program." She added, "The learning is not just curriculum-based. The class is filled with successful business executives from various industries who openly share their knowledge. Combine great professors, a well-rounded curriculum, and the network of professionals, and I expect to see increased opportunity for the future. "
In August 2007, the Eller College of Management will offer its EMBA program in Phoenix and also in Tucson. For more information about the Eller EMBA, and other Executive Education programs, contact Eller MBA at 520-621-4008, 1-888-EllerEMBA, or visit the website at www.elleremba.com.
The Eller College of Management at the University of Arizona is internationally recognized for pioneering research, innovative curriculum, distinguished faculty, excellence in management information systems, entrepreneurship, and social responsibility. U.S. News & World Report ranks the Eller undergraduate program No. 11 among public business schools and two of its programs are among the top 20 — Entrepreneurship and MIS. U.S. News & World Report ranks the Eller MBA Full-Time program No. 48 in the U.S. In addition to a Full-Time MBA program, the Eller College offers the No. 25-ranked Evening MBA program, the Eller Executive MBA and the Online MBA.

NY Nursing Student Seeking Information about working at John Hopkins
0Apr 27, '11 by MoejHello. I am a nursing student from NY who will be graduating Dec 2011. I have several questions regarding
John Hopkins (JH). I would like to work in NY as new grad for a year preferably in Pediatrics. I plan on moving to MD, so I would like to transfer to JH after my first year as an RN. I understand that I will need to get a licensure in Maryland in order to work there. I plan on paying the fee for the Maryland License. However, do I need to show proof of residency. Also, If I work in NY and I have 6mths experience can I apply to John Hopkins as a Per Diem Nurse? (meaning I would travel once a month to work on my weekends off, i want to do this so I can be familiar with the hospital as well as the location before I move) Unfortunately, I do not have any relatives nor friends in MD. I know this may sound a little strange. I am wondering if anyone has tried this before? I would really appreciate some advice. Thank you. -
0May 4, '11 by RookWhy Hopkins? Those hospital rankings are bunk. They only have meaning if you have a one in a million rare disease or if you are rich and/or famous.
The only Baltimore hospital I know that hires new grads is Sinai. They are currently building a new Peds hospital too so there might be openings. Even if you can't get peds its easy to transfer to any dept after a year or so. -
0May 4, '11 by MoejThank you for replying...JH is the only hospital that I am familar with. lol. Sinai hospital is located in Baltimore? How is the area by the way? I will def look into it. Most likely, I will be working in NY for a yr n then transfer...it would prob be easier that way. Sinai hospital is located in Baltimore? I will def look into it. How is the area by the way?
0May 4, '11 by klk5076I can't answer all of your questions but I do know that both Hopkins Hospital (JHH) and Hopkins Bayview do hire new grads. I graduated in Dec 10 and was recently hired at Bayview. I will be commuting from PA so you do not need to have proof of residency. As far as getting a license in MD you need to email the board of nursing requesting an endorsement for licensure unless NY is a compact state..in that case I'm not sure what to do. The MD BON site is confusing as licensure goes and from what I have heard they don't answer phone calls. I really like Baltimore..my sister is going to Hopkins for nursing now and I have visited her numerous times. There is a Sinai in Baltimore...other hospitals that I know of and applied to (meaning they didn't directly say no to new grads for the position) are Univ of MD Med Center and Mercy. I would call Nurse Recruitment and ask them for info..I can't speak for the other, but my Recruiter (and everyone else I have associated with in the hiring process) at Bayview has been extremely kind and helpful.
0May 8, '11 by klk5076Quote from MoejI know there was contact info for JHH nurse recruitment on the nursing jobs website when I was searching a few months ago. The Bayview Jobs site also has numbers/email for recruitment on the contact us page.Thank you guys for replying. I will look into the hospitals that both of you have told me about.
I plan on working in NY for 1 year after I graduate and then transfer.. If possible would any of you
be able to give me a contact info for the nursing recruiters? -
0Jun 16, '11 by Lev <3, BSN, RNHi
I have a link to pdf with names of some recruiters. Search for maryland or md to find the local ones.
If you need the names of some specific ones at hospitals not on the list feel free to ask!

This four-part audio conference series is designed specifically for community bank officers and directors and will offer a one-hour audio conference on the second or third Thursday of each quarter. These audio conferences will last approximately an hour each and will be full of important advice and information for community bank directors and officers.
A New Look at Your Old Bank Holding Company: Recorded: March 21, 2013 Approximately 80% of banks in America are in a bank holding company structure. Why? Does the community bank holding company structure offer benefits? Absolutely! Can community banks organized in a holding company structure take advantage of certain opportunities that might not be otherwise available? Yes! This audio conference will help community bank directors and officers take a fresh look at their holding company, and will discuss the need and benefits of the holding company structure. The presentation will also include a detailed discussion on several specific transactions available to the holding company that will enhance shareholder value.
Capitalizing on Your Community Bank Advantage: Recorded: June 20, 2013 The current environment is tough for community banks. Loan demand is soft, net interest margins are squeezed and the government has given an all but explicit guarantee of survival for the nation's largest banks. What is a community bank to do? Capitalize on the community bank advantage! This session will assist community banks in identifying and capitalizing on their competitive advantage. The conference will provide banks the tools to compete and win in a rapidly changing environment. This session will prove helpful to community bank officers and directors by discussing numerous aspects of community bank operations and will give practical advice for how to improve these operations to beat your "too big to fail" counterparts. The presentation will also discuss how community banks can take advantage of capital rules, corporate structures and other transactions that are specifically designed for smaller, main street institutions.
Is My Strategic Planning Total "B. S." ("Boring Stuff"): Recorded: Sept. 19, 2013 Does your board engage in a formalized strategic planning process? If not, it should. If so, is it totally B. S.? It should not be! Community bank strategic planning is one of the most misunderstood aspects of appropriate corporate governance. It should not be boring, unproductive or painful for the directors. The bank's strategic planning process should instead be engaging for the participants and provide big-picture action items and accountability for the organization. This audio conference will discuss the community bank strategic planning process and how to get away from the B. S. and to the good stuff.
Out with the Old, In with the New: Recorded: Dec. 12, 2013 The final presentation of this four-part audio conference series will focus on wrapping up 2013 and moving ahead to 2014. This conference will discuss some of the highlights of the legislative, regulatory and compliance milestones for 2013, and will offer prospective on what to expect in 2014. This conference will contain prognostications for the year ahead and how to position your bank to thrive in the new year.
1 CPE Credit per audio conference
Program Level: Basic-Intermediate

DigitalCameraReview.com will be there later in the week getting hands on with a lot of the cameras that have been introduced in the past couple of months. In fact, some of them are already for sale. Anyway, until I get to the show, I'll keep you posted on things that get announced tomorrow. I'm expecting to hear things from Apple and Fujifilm, but I'm sure there will be more.
In case you missed it, here are some articles where I've covered some of the recent new products:

OH! I just found out something by watching tv. I recently watched Blind Side and the football player who the show is about Simon Oher? is a Raven, and is still playing! Because of that.........Go Ravens! (I'm not a football watcher at all!) |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by lindakathy (My Page) on Thu, Jan 31, 13 at 19:54
That was a very good movie, but the 49er's are still going to win. (I'm a huge 49er fan!! lol) |
LindaKathy, ah, but remember, Princess the camel predicted the Ravens would win! LOL |
It's Michael Oher, and I saw him interviewed today. He'd really rather forget the movie was made, LOL - while a great movie (and a good book), it was highly dramatized, and of course, not a true depiction of his life. But he's a great player. |
- Posted by georgysmom (My Page) on Thu, Jan 31, 13 at 23:53
We lived in the Baltimore area for ten years and during that time they were running a contest to name the team. Edgar Allen Poe being from that area, I thought The Ravens was a great choice. The Steelers are my team and since they are not playing I guess I'll root for The Ravens. |
- Posted by ravencajun (My Page) on Fri, Feb 1, 13 at 1:27
Well you know who I have to cheer for! I mean they have the best name of all. lol Boy SF is catching grief over those comments their player made. He sure picked a bad time to do that. |
Hee-hee-heee... I thought this thread was about Ravencajun and the SuperBowl.... Oops... :] |
- Posted by LuAnn_in_PA (My Page) on Fri, Feb 1, 13 at 8:10
Meh... Super Bowl doesn't thrill me at all this year. No way I can root for the Ravens, being an avid Steelers fan.... dirty birds! |
- Posted by ravencajun (My Page) on Fri, Feb 1, 13 at 14:05
I did too Ntt! When I first saw the Raven part. I guess it is still up in the air if the SF coach will allow that player Chris Culliver to play in the game or not. TMZ has been covering it and trying to get some kind of response on if they will let him play or not. |
Whichever team wins is okay with me, 'cause I'll be watching for the ads and halftime, as usual. However, I'm a native Californian and grandma was born where part of the gold rush happened, so I'll be leaning a bit toward the '49ers. |

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Tammy, a Richmond Turtle - Water was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Turtle - Water for sale in Richmond, or seeking a Turtle - Water from a breeder in Richmond.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Richmond already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Richmond breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Turtle - Water breeders who help with Turtle - Water rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Richmond paves the way for another one to be saved.
