Game in a sentence
Samir Handanovic's first half heroics was the difference, as the Derby della Madonnina ends in a draw for the first time since 2004.
- The game was enthralling for 75 minutes before devolving in a tepid affair. Inter stay within a point of their rivals, a remarkable feat considering the trials and tribulations the team has undergone this season.
- Mario Balotelli could've had three goals if not for some outstanding goalkeeping by Samir Handanovic. Super Mario looked to have a sure goal in the 27th minute, firing a header on goal that the Slovenian keeper somehow saved. Minutes later Handanovic thwarted Balo again, leading the enigmatic star to kick the post in frustration.
- The goalie had to be good, because his teammates were straight up awful for most of the match. The left side, thoroughly exposed by Fiorentina last week, was a weak spot once again, with Yuto Nagatomo acting as a proverbial turnstile on several occasions. Mattia De Sciglio had a field day. Fredy Guarín refused to track back and help, creating a myriad of close calls that nearly lead to Milan goals.
- Man is Stephan El Shaarawy fun to watch. The diminutive striker opened the scoring in the 21st minute, collecting an excellent through ball from Kevin-Prince Boateng and using the outside of his foot to beat Handanovic. It was the Little Pharaoh's 25th goal in all competitions this year, national team included. Kid is going to be a star.
- After a great performance against Barcelona, the center half duo of Mexes and Zapata had a mixed day. The former was guilty of allowing Ezequiel Schelotto to get behind him and a score the equalizer in the 71st minute. Antonio Nocerino gave Nagatomo far too much space, allowing the Japanese international to deliver a perfectly weighted ball into the box. After scoring his first derby goal, Schelotto broke into tears. Things got a little dusty at theScore HQ.
- Javier Zanetti is the most interesting man in the world. Okay, maybe not, but the guy is ageless. Zanetti participated in his 46th derby. There have been 208 total. That's insane.
- The beginning of the second half was marred by a combination of fog and smoke from flares that make visibility an issue. Color man Stewart Robson was forced into silence for about five minutes, the greatest five minutes in broadcasting history. The fog smoke eventually disappeared, releasing Stadio Giuseppe Meazza from its Beijing inspired clutches.
- Feeling left out during the Handanovic love in, Christian Abbiati made a remarkable save of his own in the 54th minute, foiling Guarin on what looked like a sure goal.
- Balotelli got up to his old antics late in the second half. Robson called it showboating–is this not supposed to be entertaining?– and the Inter players did not looked pleased. Zanetti got in his ear, telling him to chill. I'm not sure if he actually said that but it feels like some thing a wise man would say.
- AC Milan's third place cushion is not thick, sitting just one point above Inter Milan and Lazio. With their second leg against Barcelona coming up, Max Allegri will have to work some magic to keep his side fit and fresh.
Three stars
1. Samir Handanovic
2. Stephan El Shaarawy
3. Mattia De Sciglio

If you have bowel| or bladder| changes, the most important thing to do is to ask for professional help. There are often things that can be done to improve symptoms or sometimes get rid of them entirely.
However, it may take time before your symptoms improve. In the meantime, there are things that can help you feel more confident and in control.
If you have problems with leakage from your stoma, bowel or bladder, it can make the surrounding skin in the area sore. There are many products available that can help protect your skin. Your continence adviser or stoma nurse will be able to give you more information.
Here are some suggestions:
You may feel worried about going out, especially to somewhere new. Planning ahead so that you're prepared can help you feel more confident.
If you're going somewhere you're not familiar with, it's a good idea to find out where the toilets are in advance. Many towns and counties have lists, maps and information about the public toilets in their area as lists or maps. Often these are found on local authority websites.
There are too many of these websites to list here but you'll be able to find them on the internet. Try putting the terms 'public toilets' and the name of the place you plan to visit into a search engine to find out what's available.
Carrying a 'Just Can't Wait' card may help you to get access to a toilet more quickly when you're out. It states that the card holder has a medical condition that requires urgent access to a toilet. You can get a 'Just Can't Wait' card from the Bladder and Bowel Foundation| or Disability Rights UK|.
You can use disabled toilets too. These often offer more privacy, have a wash basin and more space if you need to change. The National Key Scheme for Toilets offers people with a disability access to about 9,000 locked public toilets across the UK. You can buy a key from Disability Rights UK|. They can also send you details of where the toilets are located.
Pack a bag of the things you may need when you go out. This will make you feel more confident and help you to cope if an accident occurs.
You may want to include:
Being overweight puts pressure on your pelvic floor muscles, so it's especially important to keep to a healthy weight if you have bowel or bladder control problems. Your GP can advise you on the healthy weight range for your height and build.
We have more information about weight management| and healthy eating and cancer.
Keeping active will help you manage your weight and avoid getting constipated|. This is important to help look after your pelvic floor muscles. Exercise also helps you feel better and can reduce stress.
Some people find that more vigorous types of exercise make symptoms such as incontinence worse. If this is the case for you, try gentler (lower impact) exercise, such as walking or swimming. Once your symptoms are under control and you're feeling more confident, you may want to gradually introduce other types of exercise.
If you have a stoma, there is no restriction on the sports that you can play apart from contact sports. Ask your stoma nurse if you're in doubt about what you can do.
You might find it helpful to look at our information about physical activity and cancer treatment|.
Bowel or bladder problems can be embarrassing and difficult to talk about and can make you feel isolated. Everyone has their own ways of coping. Some people find it easier to talk about personal things than others do. Some use humour to help them keep positive, or some choose to see difficulties as challenges to be overcome. Do whatever feels right for you.
Health professionals can give you lots of support and advice, especially if you let them know about the problems you're having. They're used to dealing with and discussing intimate problems and can refer you to a counsellor or specialist if you need more help.
Support groups, online community sites and specialist organisations can also provide invaluable support. They're a good way of meeting other people who may have been through similar difficulties. You can then share experiences and solutions with each other. Partners, family and close friends can also help you keep things in perspective and reassure you that you're valued for who you are.
For answers, support or just a chat, call the Macmillan Support Line free* (Monday to Friday, 9am-8pm).

If you have any questions about cancer, need support or just want someone to talk to, ask Macmillan.

More than 40 years after the notorious Manson Family killing spree, a federal judge has granted the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) access to a collection of audio tapes that may link Manson and his cohorts to additional crimes, officials in California confirmed this week.
It's been reported that the tapes cover a series of conversations between one of Manson's followers, Charles "Tex" Watson, and his attorney Bill Boyd. U.S. District Court Judge Richard A. Schell, a federal judge in Texas, has ruled that the LAPD can take ownership of the tapes due to the fact that Watson effectively waived his client-attorney confidentiality privileges when he allowed his attorney to sell the tapes to the co-author of his own book "Will You Die For Me? The Man Who Killed For Charles Manson Tells His Own Story."
Like Us on Facebook
Boyd died in 2009 and the law firm at which he was a partner subsequently went broke and filed for bankruptcy. It was then that a lengthy legal battle ensued for custody of the tapes, according to laist.com. That legal battle came to an end in March when Judge Schell ruled in favor of the LAPD. The LAPD postponed investigation of the tapes initially, giving Watson the full 30 days he was legally entitled to, had he wanted to appeal the court decision.
No official appeal was filed. The Huffington Post reports that eventually, according to a lead detective at the LAPD, the department took possession of the tapes several weeks ago and that they are currently being analyzed by the Robbery-Homicide Division and the Los Angeles County district attorney's office.
Watson, who is serving a life sentence for his role in the Manson Family murder of Sharon Tate and four others in 1969, has reportedly told officials that they are unlikely to find any new evidence in these tapes. He denies that he, nor any other member of the Manson family took part in any other murders.
Investigators at the LAPD, however, believe that Manson and his followers were guilty of more than the nine murders that they were convicted of in the 1970s. As such, investigators are poring through the collection of eight tapes in the hopes that Watson "may have discussed additional unsolved murders committed..." according to the Los Angeles Times.
"The Manson crime spree is one of the most notorious cases in Southern California," LAPD Cmdr. Andrew Smith told the Los Angeles Times. "We owe it to the victims and their families to ensure every facet of the case is thoroughly and completely investigated."

Please don't answer if all you have is condemnation—I deal with enough hatefulness living in a small town in the Midwest, I'm not here shopping for more.
I got involved in our area's fledgeling PFLAG (Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) group a year ago, after my son told me he was gay. This actually has nothing to do with him. It has, in a round about way, a bit to do with his ex-boyfriend. I've seen all kinds of stunned, scared parents show up at our meetings. Considering this area is extremely religious—fundementalist Baptist, some of whom sound like Landover Baptist but for real—we have several who really want to change their kids and one in particular who is also a part of her church's anti-gay prayer group. By the way, I'm not looking to slam religious people either—it's just that I've had a year of dealing with one specific church who protest us, and the kid's GSA meetings regularly. Anyway, I've been working on getting this one set of parents to come to the meetings almost since the day I joined. Their son, I'll call him Brad, has been out longer than mine—in fact, was one for the first kids who formed the GSA group at their high school. It's not that we went them to accept—it's that you can see the stress it's putting on them and their marriage and we want to help! Theoretically, they accept that their son's gay, at least that's what they say. I think a large part of it is that Brad's quite militiant and doesn't give them the chance to go into denial, which is the river they really want to go swimming in! Anyway, my son's ex-boyfriend, I'll call him Scott, is/was dating their son, "Brad". I don't know Brad that well, but Scott—at one point his parent's threw him out and he was living with us for almost a month. It actually helped me deal with the fact that my son is gay, 'cause this was a really nice kid! They broke up, but remained friends—it was never all that serious between them in the first place and now Scott's dating this other kid. BTW, although Brad may have been out longer, be older and be more vocal about it, this is the first time he's dated. At the meeting last Saturday, this Brad's mother, I'll call her Cleo, told us that she's forbidden Scott and Brad from seeing each other because Scott's "sexually aggressive." She really, really hates him, that much is clear. Brad, BTW, is two years older than my son and Scott, is a football player and weightlifter with a reputation for getting in fights (mostly having to do with not taking it when harrassed). While Scott's hardly a saint, it really bothered me because it didn't sound like the kid I've known for the last couple years. He might be obnoxious at times, but she painted it to the group like Scott was basically forcing himself on her son. So, I asked him. Apparently, after a night spent watching movies at his house, she caught them kissing goodbye before Scott left. According to Scott, "she made a really weird noise" and ran back inside. Anyway, like I said, I know this kid. I let him live in our house because he said he doesn't want to have sex until he's in a serious relationship. Given what I know about the various people involved, I believe the boys. Here's my problem: she elicited a good bit of sympathy last Saturday, and I don't think she deserves or needs it. We're talking about a 16 and 18 kissing goodnight, not an
Thank you. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hmmmmm....I guess there are many different ways to look at what is going on. Bottom line, right or wrong, I think she probably does "need the sympathy" or at least some support. I think you may be being a little tough on her. Many parents of teenagers have problems with their kid's boyfriends or girlfriends...straight or gay. I'm just wondering if maybe she wouldn't have acted the same way if it was a daughter, and I think maybe she would have. Very conservative people, are very conservative. Now, it is a shame if she is truly slandering this poor boy..using his name and other people actually know him. How bad are the things she is saying about him? I think most may be able to read through the "sexual agressive" label as her just being overprotective of her own child. And, another thing to consider. I've been to support groups before and some people will have real major problems--- illnesses close to death, or major hospitalizations, while someone else may seem to think that a hang nail is a major drama. Every comes for their own reasons and thinks their own problems are major. Don't write off your friend's feelings; I'm sure they are dealing with a lot at one time and may just need some support to come to terms with everything. Plus, just because you like Scott doesn't necessarily mean he is right/good for their son...maybe there are things about him or the way he treats Brad that you are not aware of. No one really knows for sure if what anyone says at any support group is the whole truth or not, but support groups aren't formed to verify facts, they're formed to lend support and help let people talk and get feelings off their chest. You could talk to her personally and say..hey, I really like Scott, I'm surprised you don't...and see how the conversation goes. Other than that, if she's not totally falsely bashing him, I'd just let it go. |

How bad: (I don't know how to use the quote functions, so...) She essetially made it sound like she'd walked in on them having sex. I was the one who gave Scott the safe-sex talk--ended up giving him the sex talk in general, because at 15, his own had basically left that up to him to figure out. (He mostly had, but still...) Anyway, I sat him down and was all "I hope you were using a condom" only to get laughed at! Yes, appearently both boys thought her reaction was quite funny and are still seeing each other. However. It really irks me because this is a kid who's own parents are not likely to ever show up at the meetings, and who honestly, has had some (quite justified, I think) anger issues. They're getting court-ordered family therapy, but from what I hear from him, his step-father just pretty much blows it off. She also called him promiscuous, which I think is just her trotting out a bisexual stereotype, but she got away with it because she was already worked up. Then tehre was general bad mouthing: he's irresponsible (he's 16), smarter than everyone (16), thinks he can do anything (16)... Actually, I'm less than thrilled about Brad and Sean dating, too, but that's got more to do with their both being angry kids, who sometimes do things just to get a raise out of others--which escalates because they play off each other... Not to mention Brad drinks and has been pulled over DUI. I know I'm just pissed, but damn it--I'm pissed! (hehe) |
So, they were making out, the mom walked in thought they were having sex (although they weren't) and made a big deal about it. Again, I think if they were a straight couple the mom may have had the same reaction and may be saying the exact same thing about Scott (aka Sean?). I don't think anything she said is all that out of bounds...and I think those type of comments can proabbly apply to many teenagers at some point. Plus, and I know you may not want to hear it...but I'm not so sure the boys weren't going to have sex. Of course they may appear to you one way, but kids will be kids, I wouldn't write it off. It seems like you may have "the parent syndrome" going on with Scott...that he is "perfect and can do no wrong"...maybe, just, maybe he is a little promiscuous, irresponsible and thinks he's smarter than others but you don't see it...you even admit he's an "angry kid" and they don't make a good couple. I'd let the issue be. She doesn't sound like she's doing or saying anything all that bad for a support group. Parents often think the people their kids aren't dating aren't good enough for their child. Her "feelings" about him don't really seem like slander to me. |

So much for using a different name--it was late and I didn't even notice. At least he's got a common name. You don't think forbidding two kids from seeing each other is an over-reaction to catching them kissing? This support group isn't just for the parents, we're suppose to be supportive of the kids, as well. For the most part, the kids don't get bad-mouthed because their parents are right there, and some of our meetings the kids attend. I don't know, it just strikes me as more BS from her. |
Taking the equation of sexual orientation out of the whole issue there will always be parents who cannot accept their children being sexually active. I had neighbors like that once. They once blamed a 14 year girl for leading their 16 year old son down a sexual path. You would think she raped him. Of course their little angel of a daughter became the neighborhood tramp. Total denial until she presented them with a GK at 15. You can't support someone who doesn't want to see reality. I would continue to support your young friend and pretty much ignore her rantings.Eventually the others will tire of it. Don't argue the point, just continue to state that you find him a nice young man and find it hard to believe he would behave aggressively from what you've seen. The others will believe what they want to believe. Don't let it drag you down. |

My heart goes out to you. This is a really difficult situation. My first reaction was that PFLAG is a support group to help people undestand more about what it is to be gay and how to love and support those loved ones. It is not a place to support bigtry and homophobia. From that perspective, I think it would be appropriate to say something along the lines that you feel these people are reacting based on stereotypes and not looking at the real human beings involved, and that their reaction to this boy is overly harsh. Then again, I have lived most of my life in a fairly liberal bubble, very different from the environment you describe, so it is easy for me to say, but probably very tricky for you to do. Perhaps you could bring it up in the context of how it makes you feel. Talk generally (rather than blaming this mother) about how it makes you feel when people make homophobic assumptions about gay men/boys being sexually agressive/predators/promiscuous--that it makes you feel like it is an attack on your own son. Maybe if you put ir in more general terms, she will realize that she is doing the same thing and stop and think about it. Then again, maybe she is unable to take that step. It is sad, and I feel very sorry for her child. She should be happy that he is so sure of himself and has found someone to explore his feelings with. Sadly, it sounds like she is very far from seeing it this way or accepting her son for who he is. |
It sounds like this other mom is still having a lot of trouble dealing with the fact that her son is gay. She's hurt, angry, defensive, blaming others, blaming herself? But surely, you're not the only one who's noticed this. And that's the whole point. Everyone else at that meeting knows it too, and that's why her rants, while offensive to you, probably don't carry much influence with the group. All the other parents hearing her rants, while clucking sympathetically, are probably heavily-discounting everything she says and just trying to give her the space the needs to grieve and process her negative feelings. You can point out kindly and in general terms the harm such stereotypes and assumptions can do -- Maybe even acknowledge that, yes, it CAN be shocking and painful to actually witness your child engaging in sexual behavior with a member of his own sex (even kissing - I'm assuming it wasn't 'brotherly') -- But this woman needs help, and that's why she needs this support group. Let's hope she moves forward in her acceptance before she does more damage to her relationship with her son. |

You say you are "dragging" her to these meetings? Why? If she doesn't want to go, then leave her alone until she wants to deal with it. Its really none of your business. If her son is the 18 year old, then legally he is an adult and she can't forbid him from seeing anyone. If her son is the 16 year old then she does have the right to control who he sees as much as possible. She certainly has the right to control who comes to her home and what goes on under her roof. So if she doesn't want Scott at her home then that's her choice. As long as she's not legally slandering Scott, then she can say what she wants about him. You are free to disagree. I say MYOB. |

The Lie Men Are Told "Show me a guy who won't pick up the check and I'll show you a coward."
I could not believe it when it came out of a man's mouth! It just goes to show you how badly the average man is brainwashed. By women, society etc…
I was having conversation on face book actually on a the topic of Good and Evil and being selfish and selfless when the guy said "Show me a guy who won't pick up the check and I'll show you a coward."
I'll share with you my response to this utter bullshit that men have been brainwashed by, that makes us subservient to women, as opposed to the dominant men we are by nature.
My response…
"This one is PURE BULLSHIT "I tell my girls "Show me a guy who won't pick up the check and I'll show you a coward."
So you're perpetuating the CON JOB that women have pulled over men's eyes. Women after demanding equal rights not only have them but also still want special treatment. Women often make more than men, yet still expect men to pay their way. Any time a women wants to manipulate a man all she has to do is attack his ego…with "If you were a real man you'd do such and such for me" or "Only a coward would do such and such"
You my friend are stabbing your own fellow man in the back when you perpetuate that outdated, belief that women use to Con Men. You're also sub-communicating that you are looking for their approval and are easily manipulated.
This an outdated load of B.S. that puts everything in their favor and sets it up for men to be taken advantage, used and manipulated. Sure 70 years ago it made since when women did not have as much power as they do today.
Today an attractive women can virtually live of men giving nothing in return like a parasite and still work while making a living and saving all of her money. Some women have several men they rely on to pay their bill and buy them stuff. And dumb men allow it to happen thinking "They are REAL MEN"…Yeah "REAL DUMB MEN"
When that practice was useful 70 years ago and before at that time women respected men, honored men, and valued men. If you think that still the case you are delusional.
When I go out with my female friends they know to pay their way. They are not my girlfriend, I'm not having sex with them and I'm not paying their way. And they do not to try to pull that crap with me becuase I'm smarter than that. They also respect me and value you, invite me places and hook me up. I do the same for them. Often even the women I have sex with pay their way or take me out. Why not? Are they doing me a favor to have sex with me that I need to pay for? I think not! They get as much or more pleasure in many cases (as women can have multiple orgasms) as I do.
If you want to show them a coward look in the mirror right after you say that B.S. line. Because what you are really saying when you pay their way just becuase they are female is "I don't have the balls to respect and value myself first, I'm putting you on a pedestal, and you have more value than me and I'm looking for your approval becuase I'd rather pay than be alone." In short I value you more than I value myself.
Women love to Scream Equal Rights and Feminist until the Check come…what a lot of crap! Then they shut up and see who is the sucker!
Women string men along like that for years, few women have the decency to say "I'm not really interested in you so I'll pay my way, becuase it's not fair for you to pay for me when you're getting nothing in return." Or " You know you pay all of the time it's my turn tonight"
Now if they are reciprocal and hook you up with other women, jobs, tickets, shows, contacts or are there for you then sure pay their way. But when it's all take and no given your not being a REAL MAN you're being fool. Ask any of those women you are pickup the check for for "Personal loan" or Real favor and see how many will come to your aid.
And if you want to call me a coward for not offering to pay the way for a woman that I'm not sleeping with/dating or that is not providing real value in my life fine…I know better than that as I have saved a man from his house burning down, saved a women from a masked rapist in her apartment, and jump out a car where I was safe and then got the crap beat out of me to save a good friend from a gang when all of his other friends just stood there and watched.
What you cowardliness I call self-respect. And have had women take me out to dinner many times, do things for me to show me they value me. I'm a REAL MAN and I expect RESPECT, HONOR and to BE VALUED.
Now when a woman has proven to me that she is of value and worthy of what I have to give I'm very generous as any of my Ex-GF can and will attest.
I can see our thinking is radically different and I have work to do so I'll end this here with "I agree to disagree"
I think I use my response on my blog, so thanks for the inspiration.
PS: If you are just loaded with money and want to give to every one all of the time. That's a different story…If I had $100,000,000 I'd be walking down the street giving away $100 bills randomly daily. But I still would not want to be taken advantage of."
That's the end of my response. One thing I would ad is don;t ask women about this or talk to them about it of course they are going to disagree becuase they don't want to lose their power over men. But the fact is that I myself and a ton of men that I know who have sex with very attractive women do it without spending hardly any money at times. Because attraction is not based on spending money attraction has been around since before money was invented.

Both DSU teams had strong performances, which led to victories for both squads. The Lady Statesmen defeated the Lady Hawks 64-48, and the Statesmen got past the Hawks 91-81.
The Lady Statesmen improved to 10-1 with a 5-0 mark in the conference, and the Statesmen are now 11-2 with a 4-1 mark in the conference.
In the men's contest, it was senior forward Willie Readus who powered the Statesmen to the victory with a career high 36-point effort with 11 rebounds.

In the second half, both teams amped up the intensity and with 3:33 remaining DSU was clinging to a 73-72 lead. Two free throws and a layup from Readus gave DSU a 77-72 cushion with 2:41 remaining. The five-point spread would be as close as the Hawks could get as the Statesmen continued to knock down their free throws and get stops to keep Shorter at bay.
Devin Schmidt had 18 points, eight rebounds and seven assists for DSU, followed by Jack Madgen with 12 points and Mike Washington with 11 points.
In the women's game, it was a total team effort on offense and defense.

SEPTEMBER 2ᴺᴰ 1952
The strange death Lord
In the morning of September 1st, a body was found on the stony beach at the foot of the Dark Cliffs : an old man about fiftyyears called L o r d Westmorland. Lord Westmorland was the owner of the famous Westmorland castle, one of the most beautiful and rich castles on the southern coast of Devon. Every morning, LordWestmorland was having a walk on the cliffs with his dog, explains Timothy Dryfather, the inspector in charge of the investigation. There are three possibilities,continues Timothy Dryfather, perhaps LordWestmorland killed himself, but it might be an accident or a murder too. One witness, Frank Cobry, saw him briefly for the last time around 6 a.m. He had spoken with him a few minutes before his death.He adds that, Lord Westmorland didn't want to talk and looked worried. Westmorland. and called the police.
Two other witnesses, Marmaduke Arbuthnot, a former colonel who is retired from the armynow, and Bernie Brown, a fisherman tell us some information about Lord
Bernie Brown found the body lying dead on the beach and was intrigued, that's why he landed on the coast. Then, he rushed to theOld Chapel (the closer place) According to M.Abruthnot, who was under Lord Westmorland command, Lord Westmorland was a very secretive man. Marmaduke didn't like him a lot for the simple reason that hewas too arrogant and very ambitious. Marmaduke learnt indeed that Lord Westmorland had become famous because he crushed Indians rebellions in Calcutta. Three years ago, Lord Westmorland's wife died inthe same place, So it might be fenimore's suicide. But what about the dog ? However, he was having a walk every day, and he knew probably each stone of this cliff so it may be not an accident.Themurder pist is also still possible. The autopsy of the body will teach us certainly more about the death of Lord Westmorland.
What about the testament ?

horrified by treatment in hospital
I used to be a matron but as a patient I was treated worse than an animal
FORMER matron Jean Emblen used to be proud of the high standards of NHS care.
But after a shock report last week on the neglect of elderly hospital
patients, Jean, 68, reveals here how she was APPALLED by the lack of care
she received when admitted with severe pneumonia.
Mum-of-three Jean, who used to work in hospitals and care homes, kept a diary
of the horror week she spent at her local Basingstoke and North Hampshire
Here is her day-by-day account.
I asked a nurse for an extra pillow. I had a painful cough and wanted to sit higher in bed.

User Ratings
User Reviews
Very excellent. I'm just using for contacts, not appointments. No major issues. I do wish I had the option to override this error though: (RTF = Rich Text Format). Without an override, I cannot have the contact's notes update. [1/27/2015 8:27:56 PM | Warning] Outlook contact notes body not updated, because it is RTF, otherwise it will overwrite it by plain text: NameOfContact Also, when you change phone numbers on Google so that their label (Home, Work, Etc) is Custom (customized text), that number does not then sync to Outlook. Instead, such phone numbers should be given custom fields so that the data isn't lost. Maybe an option to append this data onto the notes section of the contact would be useful too.
This is almost perfect, but it doesn't seem to be able to sync reminders for events. Example: If I add a birthday via Google Calender, and choose to be reminded 1 week ahead of time, that reminder doesn't sync at all into Outlook 2013.
An essential tool for the road warrior forced into the Microsoft infested swamps of Outlook... :-)
I was having lots of different issues, but once I installed the .Net 4 framework client profile and extended software from Micro$oft, all the issues and sync problems went away. Using Office 2010 Pro Plus.
I have been looking for a tool to sync my Google Calendar with Outlook 2013, and I feel grateful to have this open source tool!! I have gone through a few errors with previous version and I could see your efforts in working on those errors. A big THANKS to the team!

"This recipe was the Pillsbury Bake Off Winner in 1975. You really can't go wrong. It's whats for dinner tonight but with a little cheese, garlic, and assorted spices & veggies I have thrown in to add a little flavor. Don't use canned chicken (that's just gross and wrong) but you can be lazy and use a rotisserie chicken to make prep easier."
"The taste of the chicken was quite good. I did have the soggy breading problem even though I cooked it on a rack. I would suggest marinating the chicken in ranch for an hour and for sure use Panko breadcrumbs, I only had regular. The ingredients were spot on."

This Thanksgiving Be Grateful
November 17, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
"It is He Who brought you forth from the wombs of wombs of your mothers when you knew nothing; and He gave you hearing and sight and intelligence and affections – that you may give thanks."
Life in the United States is by far superior to most places in the world. This is primarily because of the freedoms we enjoy here that most other places in the world are not aware of; and for this we should give thanks. We should be thankful to live in a country that opens its doors to other cultures, ethnic groups, and religious persuasions and allows them to live and practice as they see fit – as long as the spirit of the law is adhered to.
This Thanksgiving season that is approaching gives us an excellent opportunity to show our gratitude to God for everything He has bestowed on us. There have been so many extraordinary acts of kindness heaped on Muslims, Jews, Christians and other people of faith, who know and understand that good people abound in other faiths as they do in the faith they ascribe to. So we should be proud and hold our heads high and thank God for His Beneficence to those who believe in Him
We had nothing, before God, in His infinite Mercy, gave us life from the womb. But He didn't stop there. He didn't just create man and leave him be. He created man and gave him guidance, intelligence, and put love in his heart – so that man can be grateful and express that gratitude in the best manner – which is utilizing those gifts for His service.
There are also atrocities happening in the world that we might tend to look at in a negative way. Some might wonder how to look for ways to be grateful in the wake of such chaos? But the truth is Almighty God makes a way for the believers to gain something positive out of everything He sends to us or allows to happen to us. And for this we should be grateful.
We must be enthusiastic, bold, and straightforward in presenting our religion in the best light. Above all, we must not cringe and hide our identity for fear of being looked at unfavorably. The true religion and Islamic character will bring people to you faster than you can imagine. The Prophet (s) was the best example of all humanity and just to act like him puts you in an imitation of his position – and other faiths realize it. And for this we should be grateful.
The Prophet (s) treated everyone with respect. We should do the same. Whether you realize it or not, people admire Muslims for not taking intoxicants or unclean food – even though they might partake of these substances themselves. It is not necessary to shout our way of life to everyone we meet, but we should be enthusiastic in living these virtues. People will notice. And for this we should be grateful.
We must be enthusiastic in keeping our faith in God. Be thankful for everything. God–ALLAH will bless us immensely for recognizing His gifts and then being thankful for them. It is said of gratitude, "as for those who only pay lip-service to gratitude, and do not give thanks with the rest of their faculties, they are like a man who has a garment and all he does with it is touch it, but he does not put it on: it will never protect him from heat, cold, snow, or rain. Let us wear our "garment".
And in the Holy Qur'an He says, "If you be grateful, I will give you more."
The Love of Your Child
July 21, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Karima Friedemann, TMO
There is nothing more intimate than the love between mother and child. Marriage is an interesting learning experience, but it cannot compete with the total human sacrifice it takes to produce a child. After bearing the stress in one's womb for months and months, feeling the weakness and hunger, and finally the labor which cannot ever be described, a new human being arrives. This being suckles on you until your bones ache so that you cannot sleep at night, and yet you long for another one. This is love. This is true love.
"What is love? Does anybody love anybody anyway?" sang Howard Jones, a UK artist, when I was in Junior High School. I still don't know the answer to these questions.
"The mothers shall give such to their offspring for two whole years, if the father desires to complete the term. But he shall bear the cost of their food and clothing on equitable terms. No soul shall have a burden laid on it greater than it can bear. No mother shall be treated unfairly on account of her child. Nor father on account of his child, an heir shall be chargeable in the same way. If they both decide on weaning, by mutual consent, and after due consultation, there is no blame on them. If ye decide on a foster-mother for your offspring, there is no blame on you, provided ye pay (the mother) what ye offered, on equitable terms. But fear God and know that God sees well what ye do. (Quran 2:233)"
He shall bear the cost of their food and clothing on equitable terms. No soul shall have a burden laid on it greater than it can bear. No mother shall be treated unfairly on account of her child. These are actually reasonable requests. God laid it down.
So now that we have got that straight, what have we now? A financial exchange. But is there more to life than that? I don't know yet. But there are people who go through this life never knowing what it was like to fall asleep at their mother's breast. There are so many of us, especially children of the 70's, who just never knew that. When we had a nightmare, we had to "understand" that no one was going to cuddle us. We faced this world alone, without any sense of having any rights.
Even the most emotionally detached mother could fall asleep with her child, and this skin contact could even save a child's life. For life. A scientific study in Brazil showed that mothers who "wore" their premature babies under their clothes with constant skin contact (instead of keeping them in an incubator) were rewarded with higher rates of weight gain and overall health of their babies. Love boosts the immune system. And if you don't know how to love yet, the first step is lots of long hugs to increase the sense of emotional security, which gives bursts to all the healing hormones your body can release.
Close physical contact is part of Islam. I invited some neighbors to a local iftar and my friend's husband, who was from Spain, commented that, during the prayer, he had never been so physically close to other men in his entire life. He kind of liked it.
There are so many things we could do wrong in our lives, but if we could at least give our children the emotional security of skin contact at a very early age, we could do well. Even if we are not nursing, how about putting your arm around your child? If you give it a few minutes, he or she might even fall asleep. What's most important, even more important than the mother's milk, is knowing that somebody cares. Somebody is there.
We come into this world alone, and we will leave it alone. Nobody will be able to help us. We have only a short time to love one another. Whomever we love, they may be gone tomorrow. We might be gone tomorrow. We need to set boundaries against disrespect, but we must keep an open door policy for those whom we love.
We should never think that our actions will not affect another human being. If we let a child cry himself to sleep, we might think he'll never remember, but in fact this might be the deciding factor in whether he believes in himself or not. It actually takes someone else to help you realize that you have the right to take up space in this world, when you are new here. No one can do it alone. People who are mistreated or neglected all their lives often curl up and die. In any case their immune system takes a hit.
Christians and Muslims have a dispute because Christians say, "God is Love," whereas Muslims say, "God is the Lover." This is a grammatical problem, not a basic issue. There are so many beautiful people out there. Why not love them all?
Love comes from Allah alone. You can never force or will someone to love you back. It is entirely out of your hands. And there is a certain element of comfort in that.
There is somebody who will never refuse your love. That is your child.

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 Jasper!
Facts about Jasper
- Breed: Australian Shepherd/Corgi Mix
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Jasper's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Jasper is a male Aussie-Corgi mix who is 19 months old. He is a bit overweight at 18" tall and 37 pounds but he has been getting plenty of exercise so he is becoming quite fit. He is a a very sweet boy and has a lot of love to give. He is nervous in new situations but warms up once he gets to know you. He loves to play with other dogs and is fine with cats. He was fine with the kids he met while in foster care (ages 5 and 6). Jasper is very food motivated and because he is part Corgi will always be a bit chubby if you don't keep him on a diet. He loves to hang out in the yard and at the house with you, loves to go for walks and rides in the car and would love to be a permanent member of someone's family.
Other Pets at Aussie Rescue of Minnesota
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Jasper, a Elk River Australian Shepherd/Corgi dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Australian Shepherd/Corgi for sale in Elk River, or seeking a Australian Shepherd/Corgi dog from a breeder in Elk River.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Elk River 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 Elk River 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 Australian Shepherd/Corgi breeders who help with Australian Shepherd/Corgi rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Elk River paves the way for another one to be saved.

Remembering Constitution Day
Every year Americans come together on the Fourth of July to celebrate the birthday of our country – the day when our Founding Fathers signed the Declaration of Independence. This commemoration rightfully remembers the stirring words that formed the rallying cry of American freedom:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
These ideals of the Declaration, inspiring as they are, cannot be realized without a government structure that emphasizes the rule of law. Understanding the greatness of America requires an appreciation not just of the origin of our ideals, but of the form of government that makes these ideals a reality. In this light, the date of Sept. 17 – Constitution Day – is just as important as July 4.
Constitution Day commemorates the day in 1787 that the delegates to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia signed the Constitution. In a world where at the time monarchy represented the established order of the day, the countercultural vision behind the Constitution – that we are a nation of laws, not men – was nothing short of revolutionary.
The rule of law promotes and guarantees our individual freedom. That concept may seem counterintuitive because the law is often seen as a restriction of our freedom to do as we please. But the rule of law fosters freedom because it protects the rights that freedom says is our due. Without these safeguards, the prospect of liberty dies on the deathbed of disorder.
The application of this founding principle means that those who serve in positions of public trust always remain answerable to something higher than themselves. As a judge, I do not get to make up my own rules in deciding the cases that come before me. I must follow the law. The oath I swore upon becoming State Court Judge of Fayette County makes this duty explicit. It reads:
"I swear that I will administer justice without respect to person and do equal rights to the poor and the rich and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as State Court Judge of Fayette County, according to the best of my ability and understanding and agreeably to the laws and Constitution of this state and the Constitution of the United States. So help me God."
Oaths such as these are important because they proclaim before all citizens that the rule of law supersedes the arbitrary rule of any human leader. The Framers of the Constitution believed so much in the power of oaths that they required all federal and state officeholders – legislative, executive, and judicial – to pledge their fidelity to follow that which the Constitution commands.
The legitimacy of government power comes from this obligation of public officials to only use that power in ways sanctioned by the Constitution. When public officials ignore their oath and go beyond the bounds of their prescribed authority, they threaten the very liberty that they are sworn to protect.
If the Constitution can mean whatever a particular government actor wants it to mean, then the oath to uphold it becomes meaningless. The rule of law is replaced by the whim of man.
As citizens, it is our obligation to ensure that those who act in the name of the Constitution do not erode its protections. Part of this duty includes instilling in our children a working knowledge of how the Constitution promotes the cause of freedom.
Constitution Day offers a reminder for each of us to fulfill that responsibility. The security provided by law is only as strong as our shared understanding of the limits that law places on government action. Faithfulness to the plain language of the Constitution produces this type of consensus because it sets a fixed standard readily accessible to all.
Key to the concept that we are a nation of laws is the notion of equality – the belief that "all men are created equal." No one is above the law, and no one is so low that they cannot avail themselves of the law's protection.
This promise of equality contained in the Constitution has special meaning for me. My grandparents emigrated from China to the United States in the 1910s and ended up in Augusta, Ga., where they opened a small grocery store near the Medical College of Georgia.
They did not know English, the culture, or anything about the legal system. Yet they instilled in their children a love of this country and the understanding that our freedom and form of government are things to be cherished. I am proud that my father and uncle served honorably in the military to protect that freedom.
I doubt that my grandparents ever dreamed they would have a granddaughter who would be a lawyer, much less a judge. But that possibility underscores the unique greatness of America. By protecting the rights that the Declaration of Independence declares to be God-given, the Constitution provides each of us the freedom and opportunity to pursue our own destiny.

Coincidence.. Don't think so.
"By protecting the rights that the Declaration of Independence declares to be God-given, the Constitution provides each of us the freedom and opportunity to pursue our own destiny."
Life, Liberty and Property
If only the courts would protect those rights it would be enough.
God had input for the Bible some believe, however not the American Declaration of Independence!
We have added more to it and changed it more than has the Bible.
I don't think God thought of a slave as a 3/5 person, since he may be of a dark persuasion, or any other fraction, nor that you had to own "land" to vote.
It (D of I) does say that Moses could have carried a pistol in the open if he had one. He mainly just carried a big stick that was also a snake.
Took him 40 years to find Israel--chiseling the Commandments takes time.
Took a while to make a Golden Calf also, unless a calf salesman came along.
Then Mr. Smith found the Golden Tablets here and all sorts of conniptions started.
Still waiting for you to show me where it says this!!!
If you will be specific as to what questions you want to know where they came from, the Bible or the Declaration of Independence, I will answer you.
First though if you haven't read either closely, don't bother me.
show me where it says this
a slave as a 3/5 person please dribble dribble dribble
The three-fifths compromise is found in Article 1, Section 2, Paragraph 3 of the United States Constitution:
"Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons."
If we take the constitutional wording to imply that slaves were only viewed as 3/5 of a person, we should also conclude that abolitionists must not have thought slaves were real people, because they wanted them counted as zero, and slave owners must have thought they were indeed real people, because they wanted them counted as full persons. It was about representation and taxes not their value as human beings. It was modified by the 14th amendment in 1868 to remove the 3/5..now go ahead and call me another name.
Mathematically it is the same whether you count each individual slave as 3/5 of a person, or multiply the total number of slaves by 3/5 - you still get the same number either way. Yes, the 3/5 compromise was a way for the non-slave states and the slave states to agree on how to count their populations for the purpose of representation. The representatives of the non-slave states did not want to count slaves at all because that would give voters in slave states more relative power. The representatives of the slave states wanted them counted so as to increase their representation. So a compromise was negotiated that both sides could live with. Didn't matter to the slaves because they couldn't vote. But you asked Roundy to show you where in the US Constitution that it mentioned that slaves were counted as 3/5 of a person and I helpfully showed you the appropriate line in the US Constitution since it seemed that you were unable to look that up for yourself.
Read your history book dud. Google 3/5 compromise
However it was not about their worth as a human beings it was about representation and taxes. It was typical political BS. I am not a dud I have great times..

Devotees of grand, powerful, rear-wheel-drive sedans from domestic manufacturers will be thrilled with this weekend's announcement of the 2014 Chevrolet SS, a four-door of bruising potency and presumably enough interior roominess for the Baltimore Ravens offensive line.
The SS is being revealed to the press in a look-but-don't-drive event at Daytona International Speedway. The location is significant because Chevy will henceforth slap the SS name on its NASCAR entries, which had carried the Impala label.
Plugging a gaping hole in Chevy's lineup, the new car further amplifies the brand's sporting appeal just a month after the 2014 Corvette's debut. The SS is based on General Motors' global Zeta platform that is only a couple of years away from phase-out, so questions arise about the long-term course for this new program. Serious intent is expressed, though.
"The Chevrolet brand was largely built on the strength of rear-drive performance sedans, yet it's been seventeen years since we've offered one," said GM president Mark Reuss, a sheepish note evident even in this prepared statement.
"The all-new Chevrolet SS fills that void and fills it better than any other vehicle in the brand's rich history," the statement continued. "The comfort, convenience, spaciousness and V-8 power make the SS a total performance package unlike any other on the road today."
From Australia to the driveways of America
The SS is built in Australia alongside the bigger Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol and well-regarded Holden VF Commodore. Obviously, this portends somewhat limited availability after the SS reaches U.S. showrooms late this year. Nevertheless, it joins a niche that Chrysler has single-handedly expanded with its rear-wheel-drive Chrysler 300 as well as the Dodge Charger and Challenger. When all-wheel-drive variants are factored in, these nameplates combine to pull within sniffing distance of 200,000 units annually -- not bad for a type of car whose death was long ago foretold. With the departure of the Lincoln Town Car, Ford is now in the unusual position of odd man out, with no contemporary entry in this segment.
Chevy loyalists who have waited a generation for the new offering will be rewarded with a car that's as contemporary as stencil tattoos and stretched earlobes. (And no one is apologizing to those cranky old farts who have continually fomented for the return of archaic body-on-frame architecture.) The au courant aspect begins with appearance. Park the '14 SS beside the 1996 Impala SS, and you won't even know they come from the same planet. Early release photos depict the SS as trim and impeccable, whereas the old Impala SS was flabby and ungainly.
Related styling chops have been seen within the past decade, when GM offered Holden-derived, Aussie-built cars badged as the 2004 Pontiac GTO and the 2008 Pontiac G8. The lines of the SS are conventionally conservative, even somewhat mute. Whether this says "Chevy" to anyone is questionable, yet it's easy to foresee demand based solely on the application of today's Chevy grille along with the car's dimensions and standard equipment.
Pure American muscle with international-standard mechanicals
Chiefly notable here is the 6.2-liter V-8 engine. Familiar from the outgoing 2013 Vette, the LS3 powerplant is expected to deliver 415 hp and 415 lb-ft of torque, according to Chevy. Standard paddle shifters manually control the six-speed automatic transmission. A final drive ratio of 3.27:1 enables a 0-to-60 mph time of around five seconds, according to the company's estimate.
The aluminum engine helps the SS achieve weight distribution that's "near" 50/50. A low center of gravity and suspension by MacPherson struts up front and multiple links in the rear, with coil springs and stabilizer bars at both ends, add to the promise of greater agility in comparison to the Paleolithic Impala SS.
Large, ventilated Brembo brakes are gripped by four-piston calipers in front and floating single-piston ones in rear. The SS rides on 19-inch forged-alloy wheels that carry low-profile, sticky Bridgestone tires.
The wheelbase is 114.7 inches, and the SS is 74.7 inches wide and 195.5 inches long. Yet it's not particularly tall, measuring 57.9 inches high. The net result of these dimensions is a five-passenger interior providing front and rear legroom of 42 inches and 39 inches, which you expect from a big Chevy sedan.
Cushy trim is augmented by driving wizards
Standard amenities include leather upholstery, eight-way power seat adjustments, and a display screen for navigation and MyLink infotainment. A nine-speaker Bose stereo ought to overcome the rumbling V-8.
Yes, it's a driver's car, but the SS comes with a full complement of driver-assistance features, including Chevy's first parking assistant, potentially saving much embarrassment when you and a carload of passengers pull up at a tight spot.
The price will be announced close to the SS's on-sale date. Somewhere in the mid-thirties would be extraordinarily judicious.
On May 1, 1964, Chevy boss Bunkie Knudsen drove one of the first '65 Impala coupes equipped with the new 396-c.i. (6.5-liter) V-8 and an automatic transmission. "It sure is a nice combination," he wrote in his diary. How easy to anticipate even greater satisfaction from the new SS.

Blake & Miranda's new bed & breakfast
It looks like Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert are looking into a new business venture that should be opening up by then end of this fall. They bought themselves a bed & breakfast. They are opening it up in their hometown of Tishomingo, Oklahoma. Pretty much everything is done on the new building except for a few finishing touches on the rooms and also furniture. They bought the building for just $180,000 and they dropped a lot of cash on the renovations. It should be pretty each for Miranda to keep an eye on it because it's located right across the street from her "Pink Pistol" boutique shop.

I'm hoping someone can settle this dispute my wife and I are having. On our property we have a small hill (maybe 3 feet tall?) that has a sort of rock wall on the side of it (big rocks piled on top of each other, 3 rocks high) that now has a lot of weeds growing between the rocks and all around it.
I want to pull all of the weeds and place mulch around the rocks to help prevent weed growth in the future, I think it will make the rocks look nice without so many weeds everywhere. However she is insisting the weeds are keeping the rocks together in a sense? I think she means without the vegetation the top rocks might wash away if it rains a lot, or the soil will erode and thus wash the rocks away. I was under the impression that rocks work just as well if not better than vegetation when it comes to erosion. Any help please? |

Ill see if I can meet you in the middle. The roots of the plants are kind of holding some dirt together but the rocks are holding the most. I would not pull the weeds, leaving the roots to hold some dirt. I would spray them with roundup and kill them. This will leave the mesh of the root structure to hold some dirt. Hows that for compromise? |
- Posted by dchall_san_antonio 8 San Antonio (My Page) on Mon, May 30, 11 at 18:21
I'm having trouble picturing this. Can you post a picture? Is the wall vertical and the weeds are growing our from between the vertical rocks? |
- Posted by HimynameisJoe none (My Page) on Mon, May 30, 11 at 19:28
I'll see if I can get a picture uploaded. It's not really a hill, I guess a better description would be the base of our property is flat but a few dozen feet in it starts to slope up towards our front door, but on the other side of this slope is the rest of our property that is level with the first few dozen feet. The highest part of this slope compared to the flat part of our property is about 3-4 feet high. The rocks start out with only one rock at the base and ends up being three rocks stacked on top of one another towards the top. The weeds are growing out between the gaps in the rocks and also next to the top of the rocks and the bottom of the rocks where it is impossible to mow so I have to use a weed eater all of the time. I figure pulling all of the weeds from in between the rocks would make it look nice and removing the weeds/grass from the top and bottom and putting down mulch would make it easier to maintain. |

Unexpected Sanctuary
We're not told what Jesus did in that outdoor sanctuary, but it's clear that when the time ended, he was committed to his mission of proclaiming his gospel more than ever.
A sanctuary, no matter what form it takes, is a place where one should experience interior change. Among the changes? A reminder of the beauty and love of God, a fresh realization of one's brokenness, a host of things to be thankful for, a chance to give from the fruits of one's labor, an experience of deep prayer and the sense that God has heard, and a time to hear the reading of Holy Scripture and feel it planting its powerful content in one's soul.
Many of us enter sanctuaries tired or disappointed or angry or fearful or lonely. Others enter with appreciations for loving relationships, life-blessings, and a desire to deepen or grow. But the thing of greatest importance is how do we leave? Redirected, newly focused? Having experienced grace and forgiveness? Appreciative of the people we've been with? Freshly committed to Jesus?
Then, whether we sat on pews, arena seats, a dirt floor, or a crowded bus, makes little difference. We have worshiped and God himself has been with us.
