Summer is here in Paris. It arrived without warning last week and was brutal. It was hot, and it hit around 31°(about 88°) and so humid, I faced a real-meltdown of chocolate. And just about everything else around here, including me, suffered the same fate. Just when no one couldn't bear it anymore, it stopped. Then we had rain and cool weather. It's so other-worldly (hey…am I back in San Francisco?), but summer arriving means a lot less clothes, and since I'm now European, it's obligatory that they're much, much tighter. Damn Europeans and their fine-tailoring. So that means it's time to pay for the last 8 months of eating too many pastries, tasting too many chocolates, snacking on too many macarons, and drinking perhaps a bit too much vin rouge. I don't know if I can hold my stomach in consecutively for the next three months, but I'm going to try. I've unpacked my shorts for summer and they definitely are un peu serré.
Speaking of tightening my belt, last week I got to spend the morning at my favorite place in Paris, getting rid of a few excess US dollars I had lying around. My favorite place isn't the Eiffel Tower nor the Louvre (they don't take dollars), nor was it the Museé d'Orsay or the Jardin du Luxembourg. Yes, I got to go to the American Embassy, my favorite place in Paris! I like hanging out there, since everyone there understands me, unconditionally, and without judgment. There's no raised eyebrows or startled expressions, like last week when I recently ordered 'Big Turd Jam' (confiture des grosse selles), when I meant red currant (confiture des groseilles). Luckily they were out of the first one.
But the American Embassy is great: I can argue back with impunity and get huffy with them. Hey, why not? I'm on equal turf, and I'm an American and my English is just as good as theirs.
And I can argue with anyone all I want and make perfectly-formed sentences with correctly-placed pronouns and not worry if this verb is masculine to I need to match the adjective to the gender as well, or decide if I need to decide which of the gazillion French verbs I need to conjugate correctly, unlike I have to do at the Préfécture.
What are they going to do if I screw it up my English at the US Embassy? Kick me out? Or in?
So there I was, on the rue St. Florentin, where I waited, stood in line, got scanned, went through the metal detector, then had my water bottle confiscated (I guess it's a threat to national security), then headed to the IRS office. Being a foreign resident you get an automatic extension for paying your taxes, which comes in handy when the mail isn't very reliable. I guess somehow they caught on and give us expats a break.
So in my bid to help fight the war on terror and make the world a safer place (though things don't quite appear to be quite heading in that direction) I sat under the over-sized, overly-glossy, and over-polished pictures of George and Dick (whose has a rather curious smirk on his face for an 'official' portrait), and wrote my checks.
And prayed things wouldn't get any worse.
And in fact, for me, they were about to get better.
A whole lot better.
Since I was in the neighborhood (well, not really, but since I left my neighborhood, I'm gonna stretch it), I decided to visit chocolatier Jacques Genin. A lot of people talk about M. Genin with a hushed reverence and most of it is directed at his terrific chocolates. But one bite of his Passion Fruit Caramels and I'm singing a different tune. And you'll be too.
I had stopped at a bakery down the street for bread and noticed les palets Breton, delicate buttery cookies made from salted butter, so I bought a stack. Four was the minimum for some reason… this from the country where you can buy half a baguette for 42 centimes, and when madame wants to buy one fig, madame will be given the same courtesy and service (and take as much time) as, say, an American pastry chef trying to race through the market buying a flat of figs or a few kilos of nectarines to test recipes.
So I bought four, but M. Genin was happy to relieve me of half of them. In exchange, he swooped his hands into the tray he was wrapping of caramels and stuffed them in my bag (and those caramels are as precious as gold, since you can't buy them in stores.) As you can see, each caramel is buttery, tender, and keeps its shape just long enough to get it into your mouth, where it dissolves into an explosion of creamy-smooth sweet goo, slightly tangy from the passion fruit, with exactly enough of the tropical pulp to offset the restrained sweetness of the caramel.
So I can't say I'm going to get any thinner, or my shorts will soon fit better, or when I hit the beach in August, I'll be turning any heads. But when you have a guy like Jacques Genin feeding you chocolates and handing you caramels, who cares if your belt needs to be loosened out a notch.
Or two.

WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE — Fairborn residents will now have access to the Prairie Pool on base through a first-time partnership.
The Fairborn Parks and Recreation Division held a series of meetings with residents last year for a Community Needs Assessment. The goal was to determine the priorities for programs and development. Through these meetings, an outdoor pool was the number one expressed need.
There has not been a public outdoor pool locally since the closure of the Greene County Pool in 2009. The pool, which was located beside Fairborn High School, was demolished in August 2011.
Last fall discussions began between the City of Fairborn and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base to find ways to share recreational facilities and programming, an initiative that has been championed by Col. Cassie Barlow, 88th Air Base Wing and installation commander.
"Building a pool would be very difficult to do and expensive," said Fairborn Parks and Recreation Superintendent Alicia Eckhart. "Col. Barlow reached out to Fairborn and Riverside with the possibility to expand the Prairie Pool for community use, and the request went to Washington D.C. last fall."
The approval for this initiative came through early this year. Prairie Pool, located on Chapel Lane near Prairie Housing, does not require a base pass or sponsor for community members to enter and use the pool. It will be open Saturday, May 24 through Sept. 1 with recreational swim hours from 12-7 p.m. seven days a week.
"We are very excited to have this opportunity to offer this activity to our community," said Col. Cassie Barlow, 88th Air Base Wing commander.
Eckhart believes that this is the first of many partnerships to come with WPAFB, which will allow recreational programming to grow tremendously due to facility availability.
"The recreational opportunities are really endless once we get rolling and the pool is the first step," Eckhart said. "This joint service will mean increased revenue for the base but it will also save our citizens the money it would take to build a pool."
The city is currently working toward the Twin Base Golf Course opening up for general play for the community. Future possibilities include Wright-Patterson's Rod and Gun Club and the Auto Hobby Shop. Airmen and the base will also be using city parks for their functions.
"We hope that this first step will serve our community and bring the base and Fairborn residents' closer," Eckhart added.
Pre-sale pool passes will go on sale to the community on Monday, May 19, from 2-6 p.m. Monday through Friday at the Prairies Pool. A family season pass is $250, individual season pass is $90, monthly individual pass is $40, and a daily individual pass is $5.
Pre-sale pool passes will go on sale to base personnel May 12.
For additional information, call Community Services Flight Chief Jan Gardner at 937-257-7063.

Our future towns and cities must be built on the combination of five key concepts:
community, sustainability, affordability, heritage, and urban design.
These concepts are being applied in many buildings and spaces enjoyed today by New Zealanders. Our aim is to see them become common practice so that we all can benefit from great places to live, work, and play.
We have taken the following positions on each of these concepts – follow the links to see further information, and examples of each of the concepts applied in buildings and spaces today.
– Providing quality community places is no longer merely desirable, it is essential for a well-functioning modern society. These are places from which community culture arises – they are a crucible for culture.
– Sustainability's value proposition is undeniable in both economic and moral terms. Sustainability not only involves a set of practices but a way of seeing the world.
– The challenge of creating affordable housing requires a mix of old and new concepts. Building low cost housing is only one aspect. Achieving long term affordability through good design is the ultimate goal.
– Heritage is a fundamental aspect of our developing sense of national identity. Preservation of the past and creation of the future must become a matter of deliberate design, not chance.
– Quality urban design is essential to building active, engaged communities. The places we create should reflect our nation's heritage, culture, and aspirations.

To meet these consumer desires, Natura Pet Products announced today the newest additions to its limited ingredient California Natural family of pet foods and treats:
California Natural Grain Free Chicken Meal Formula Adult Dog Food
California Natural Grain Free Lamb Meal Formula Adult Dog Food
California Natural Grain Free Venison Meal Formula Adult Dog Food
According to the 2009-2010 Pet Age Retailer Report, foods and treats for dogs and cats, including grain free dog food, showed the most growth in 2008. "At Natura, we've seen outstanding success from our grain free EVO line of dog and cat foods, and decided to take this opportunity and expand the grain free category to our popular California Natural pet foods," said Don Scott, President of Natura.
As the first company to create a dry pet food without grains, Natura is now bringing even more options to the category with our California Natural grain free varieties and continues to lead the innovation pack for the pet food industry.
"For our California Natural line, it's what is missing that matters. Recipes with fewer ingredients and healthful ingredients: This is the reason California Natural has become our fastest growing line and has such impressive potential for success with new grain free selections," said Scott. "The new California Natural grain free formulas increase the quality of our companion animals' lives by maximizing pure nutrition and minimizing concerns over grains."
Along with fewer ingredients, important fatty acids are included in optimal proportions to help support healthy skin and coat. For pet parents who are looking for nutritional solutions focused on skin and coat or grain sensitivities, California Natural can offer their beloved companions the relief they are seeking.
"Because our California Natural pet foods use a single protein from top-quality animal source, they are a great option for pets who do better on a limited ingredient diet," said Sean Delaney, DVM, MS, Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Nutrition and Natura's Chief Nutrition Officer. "Also the California Natural Grain Free Venison Meal Formula provides an uncommon protein option for dogs who cannot tolerate typical pet food options."
These products provide the natural nutrition pet parents expect in a premium pet food and the great taste their canines love.

|Representatives of Coffee Culture New York Inc. meet with Silvia Ferretti, D.O., and John Ferretti, D.O., to announce a franchise agreement at a press conference on May 14.
Coffee Culture New York Inc. is pleased to announce that the Buffalo, N.Y., U.S. headquarters is entering into a franchise agreement with the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) to convert a major portion of their Student Center to a Coffee Culture Cafe & Eatery.
The Student Center, located at 5761 Peach St. in Erie, will be undergoing a major interior remodeling with seating for more than 65 people. The new coffee Café will be open to the public and LECOM students, faculty and staff. The renovations will provide a secure, separate study area for the students. The Cafe will also include a drive-thru window and an outdoor patio for patrons.
LECOM will invest more than $500,000 for renovations, landscaping, and equipment in the Coffee Culture Cafe. LECOM will manage the daily operations of the facility and employ up to 30 people.
|James Geiger, Vice President of Real Estate and Franchise Development for Coffee Culture, explains the layout of the new coffee shop to attendees of the press conference.
The student center opened in 2008 to provide medical and pharmacy students a place to gather for meetings, activities and an off-campus space to prepare for classes and tests. The center lacked a food service, which required students catering their Student Center events. The renovations will allow the students to take advantage of the space to study, hold club and student government meetings, and social activities, now with the advantage of having a cafe next door.
Coffee Culture Cafe & Eatery originated in Mississauga, Ontario, with their first location opening in Woodstock Ontario in 2006. Since their opening they now have over 50 locations opened in Ontario which led them to the U.S. expansion with corporate offices in Buffalo, N.Y.
Obsidian Group which is the parent company who owns and operates Coffee Culture Cafes also has other concepts known as Crabby Joe's (casual dining) and most recently rolled out a new Fresh Burger and Fries concept called UB Burger.
Coffee Culture Cafe & Eatery is designed like a "European Cafe" with granite table and counter tops, warm comfortable seating with upscale interiors that make the Cafe unique. They offer specialty coffees (Cappuccino, lattes, chillers and coffee blends) and also offer a variety of soups, salads, and specialty Panini Grilled sandwiches along with a variety of Wraps.
Coffee Culture bakes fresh daily on premise offering fresh baked muffins, pastries, scones, croissants, cookies and serving upscale gourmet cakes and apple tarts. There is a "soft seating" section with leather chairs, fire place and flat screen TVs for those who just want to relax with a cup of their favorite high quality coffee and enjoy free wi-fi connectivity.
Coffee Culture typically uses around 2,000 square feet and will employ between 25 and 30 employees with hours of operation opening at 6 a.m. and closing at midnight seven days a week.

On a clear September morning, nine years ago, hijacked planes crashed into the World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon and a field in rural Pennsylvania. It was the deadliest attack ever on U.S. soil, claiming the lives of 2,996 people, including 19 terrorists.
Since that time, plenty has changed in the U.S.
We ve fought two wars and elected a new president. Many of the children who were infants at the time of the attacks are now starting the third grade. Fortunes have been made and squandered.
Life has gone on.
But for those who witnessed them, the events of Sept. 11, 2001, will never fade. And every year, when that day comes, we will remember how lives were lost, heroes were born and the world changed forever in a matter of minutes.
We will never forget.

MISENHEIMER, N.C. – Pfeiffer University's Heather Nobles (Angier, NC) and Allison Braswell (Asheboro, NC) were selected to softball's 2010 Conference Carolinas all-tournament team announced Sunday afternoon after Queens defeated Limestone for the tournament championship at Hartsville's Byerly Park.
Nobles hit a pair of home runs on Saturday to help the Lady Falcons knock off second-seeded Erskine and send them packing for the tournament. Braswell was the work horse in the circle suffering both losses in extra innings that finished off the Lady Falcons tournament run.

The strained building at 606 Tower Hill Road was once an elementary school and housed the Boys and Girls Club.
The Sampson School later re-opened as an alternative school, accompanied by many ups and downs.
But the deterioration of the building has been deemed to not be worth the trouble anymore, so today that structure on Tower Hill will be shutting down.
Due to the extremely poor conditions of the school building —which includes a slew of moldy ceiling tiles — Lenoir County Board of Education elected to close it this week.
Students and staff have already been packing as the move was approved in October and will start classes at the Kennedy Home Haigler-Overcash Education Center on Monday.
"We are very concerned about the quality of the educational environment for our students and staff," said Brent Williams, Lenoir County Schools Executive Director of Operations. "Many factors have combined to make this a serious, intense and immediate concern for us."
Williams, who presented the closing proposal before the board at this week's monthly meeting, said costs to repair the school were extremely high and would only bring it to a "minimum standard" to operate.
Replacing the entire roof would ring up to $300, 000, Williams said.
The projected cost of repairing the entire facility would total $581,426, including removing mold-covered ceiling tiles, asbestos removal, repainting and other essential repairs. This figure doesn't include any upgrades or unexpected repairs.
The total cost of utilities alone for Sampson this year would be near $92,000, while the one-year leasing agreement will only total an all-inclusive $89,500 — with utilities, water and sewer, maintenance and repairs.
"Cost-wise, it was an attractive option," said LCS Superintendent Steve Mazingo. "The building at Kennedy Home happens to be almost the perfect size."
The Haigler-Overcash Center is 10,000 square feet and the Sampson facility is 60,000 square feet. The sixth-12th grade school averages 50-60 students, but 44 are currently enrolled.
Williams, who oversaw the assessment to Sampson's damage, presented a contract toBaptist Children's Homes of North Carolina— Kennedy Home's umbrella organization — to lease the center. The one-year leasing agreement includes an extension option for up to two years.
LCS maintenance staff started moving the school this week and will work through Saturday.
"We're excited to have Sampson; they'll be good neighbors," said Sandy Perry, the regional director for Baptist Children's Home, which oversees the Kennedy Home. "The wonderful thing is about it is some of our children who attend Sampson."
Kennedy Home, a former orphanage, is a residential care facility for children. Twenty-three are currently enrolled there; four are expected to attend Sampson.
"We've just been clearing the way for them," Perry said.
Sampson principal Diane Heath is anticipating a smooth transition.
"We just hope to very quickly get set up and get moving again," Heath said. "It's a fairly new facility, so it will be a great environment for the kids."
The Kennedy campus is nearly 100 years old, but the building Sampson will be using was built in 2006. It hasn't been used for educational purposes since then.
Along with proposing to close the Sampson campus, Williams proposed the board to "not elect to use the facility for an additional or alternative purpose for Lenoir County Schools." The notion was passed and LCS will offer the property to county commissioners.

LIBERTY – After a disastrous 0-6 start, the Liberty High football team has found itself back in the playoff hunt with two consecutive wins.
The Red Devils' most recent 14-6 upset win over Crescent has given other teams in Region I AA reason for pause, as the Tigers were considered the favorite to challenge Chesnee for the conference crown.
After having to endure a season of narrow losses, Liberty coach Kyle Stewart and his team found a way to hold off Crescent for a momentum building road win.
A slow start by both teams had the game tied early in the first half. After several failed drives, Liberty finally found its opening just before the break. Red Devil running back Amos Welborn found the end zone after a 68-yard drive, giving Liberty a 7-0 advantage.
The Red Devils would continue their success early in the second half, as Erick Sanchez broke free in the third quarter for a 54-yard touchdown run, giving Liberty a 14-0 lead.
Dalston Davis would have an answer for Crescent, however, tossing a 24-yard score to Chandler Creswell, narrowing the Red Devil margin to 14-6.
The Red Devil defense held strong in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter, sealing its biggest win of the season over one of the region's top contenders.
With just two games left on the schedule, Liberty will need every win it can get to solidify itself as one of the regions six playoff contenders.
The Red Devils will head home this Friday as they get set to take on a 4-4 Pendleton squad . Liberty will then hit the road for its final regular season game on Nov. 1 as they take on Carolina Academy (3-5).
Kickoff for Friday night's showdown is set for 7:30 p.m. in Liberty.

Women's Volleyball Bitten by Bulldogs in Flat 3-0 Loss to Barton
October 19, 2011
WILSON, N.C. - Less than 24 hours after completing a season-best comeback at Mount Olive, Pfeiffer University fell flat on Wednesday night during a 3-0 (25-22, 25-18, 25-18) sweep by Barton College at the Wilson Gymnasium. The Bulldogs improve to 9-12 overall, 5-8 in league play while the Lady Falcons dip to 8-11, 5-7.
Pfeiffer had healthy leads in sets one and three before Barton comebacks led to the sweep. Melissa Cochran put down a match-high 19 kills in the win followed by Kati Wood's 10. The Bulldogs hit .304 against a tired Lady Falcon defense.
Erin Gray paced Pfeiffer with a team-high eight kills on the night while Kim Amerell and Kelsey Blauser each had a half-dozen. Cate Glendenning put up 30 assists and also had a team-high nine digs.
Pfeiffer will now take the rest of fall break off before returning to Conference Carolinas action next Friday and Saturday at Converse and Erskine. The Lady Falcons have five league contests remaining in 2011 hoping to grab home court advantage in at-least the first round of the conference tournament.

Clearly KonchokZoepa you have an emotional need to hold the view that you hold.
I do not share it, and I think your emotional need may be stopping you from hearing what is being said on the subject.
Time will tell who is correct. The survival of the Vajrayana monastic Sangha is a matter of complete indifference to me. And I would have a pretty good guess that it is also a matter of indifference to the vast majority of D.C. members.
The decline of the monastic sangha is in fact part of the reason that the Vajrayana is emerging FROM the ' underground.'
Simon E. wrote:I think the analogy is only a very partial one Adi.
Christian monks have not wielded the kind of political power that the Tibetan Sangha has, since the late middle ages.
Simon E. wrote:I would go further than that. It will survive only if it finds new forms of expression. And it is doing.
There are a few Tibetan Buddhist texts for which the lineage has been lost. In these cases the texts cannot be practised but we keep the texts on the shrine and just read them for study and academic research. It is absolutely crucial that all practitioners understand the importance of lineage. The Buddha himself predicted that Buddhism will eventually become an "imitation" Buddhism. By that he meant that the texts, forms, names, images and such like will survive but the real essence contained in the lineage, will vanish. This will not happen tomorrow, but some time in the. future, the genuine, the true, Buddhism will have disappeared and an imitation version will be there in its place. There will be institutions and courses; there will be books, there could be all kinds of new groups and new activities - they could be good, but they will not be the true Buddhism because the lineage will have died out or been ignored. I do not remember the precise time for this prediction but we have to have a sense of responsibility and take care that we do not contribute to this corruption. For all these reasons the lineage is essential. The lineage is contained by the Sangha. The "Sangha" is all of us - everyone who has taken Refuge, monks, nuns and lay people
Simon E. wrote:I think the analogy is only a very partial one Adi.
Christian monks have not wielded the kind of political power that the Tibetan Sangha has, since the late middle ages.
Simon E. wrote:Is the monastic model sustainable in Christianity ?
I understand that its numbers are dwindling rapidly.
But that the tradition of contemplative prayer that was engendered by a minority of its adherents has now become mainstream in catholic Christianity..so maybe in that sense the analogy could be viable.

Ligers. Grolar bears. Camas. They sound like things out of a fantasy novel but do indeed exist. Here's an explanation:
Born of a male lion and a female tiger, there are only a few ligers in the world. The average liger weighs more than 900 lbs. and stands about 12 ft. tall leading them to be deemed the largest big cats. Although featuring more lion-like features, the liger enjoys swimming like a tiger. They can eat up to 100lbs. a day but due to obesity issues are typically fed 25-35 lbs. with meals ranging from venison to pork. There are also smaller tigons, which are born of a male tiger and female lion.
Grolar Bears
Due to melting ice caps, animals that were once separated are being moved closer together, in this case grizzly and polar bears. Grolars have the head and paws of a grizzly with the white fur of a polar bear. This pairing worries scientists as it is feared the threatened polar bear gene pool will be compromised.
The cama is a cross between a male camel and a female llama. Due to size differences their creation came about through artificial insemination in an effort to get the strength of a camel with the wool of a llama. As you can see from the above picture, camas do not have a popular camel hump.
There are many other types of hybrids including wolphins [whale with dolphins], zebroids [zebras with horses], and leopons [leopards with lions]. Some hybrids such as the grolar bear occur naturally whereas other such as camas often lead to ethical debates. Is it ethical to create a species that can change the gene pool of its predecessors and lead to their extinction or is it just the next stage in evolution? What do you think?

The book was conceived in 1941 by a think-tank of Nazi propaganda officials operating under the Volkssturm. Their objective was to create a child-friendly publication that would describe to kids all the wonderful opportunities they would receive as a Volkssturm conscript working at a concentration camp- good food, spacious rooms, an ample salary, and multiple daily opportunities to take out aggression over past German inferiority in the form of gunning down imprisoned Jews at random.
After the war, as the Allies were combing through former Nazi assets, the series was discovered by employees of the British Broadcasting Corporation, who decided to reinvent Franz as a new character, Bob the Builder, and rerelease the sticker books in the United Kingdom in 1949. The publication was met with mixed reviews. Despite the fate of the Jews during the war, much of Britain remained vehemently anti-Semetic and the series was met with sizeable acclaim. Of course, the graphic nature of its contents drew criticism, as well. Supporters of having the book banned cited its Nazi origins, its inherent racism, and the images on its stickers, which, among other graphic sights, depicted people being executed in eleven different ways.
Catapulting from the first book, the Bob the Builder franchise exploded in popularity in Britain and was sold in the mid-1980s to Nickelodeon, an American television corporation. Bob's image was gradually cleaned up in reaction to changing societal attitudes and increasingly whiney liberals, and the modern series trades Jew-burning ovens for suburban homes and starving inmate laborers for friendly, talking construction vehicles. Few of today's viewers know about the series' bloody origins.
Chapter 1: Good Morning!
The story begins with Franz, the chief construction supervisor at "der Stall", a common nickname for the Auschwitz concentration camp, beginning his morning as always- by pouring himself a cup of hot coffee, taking a steaming shower, changing into his Swastika-emblazoned dress uniform, and meandering out onto the balcony of the officers' residence building to pick off two or three roving prisoners at random with his trusty Machinenpistole 40 submachine gun. After a breakfast of pancakes with strawberry syrup, he strolls out to survey the new wing of the huge oven complex under construction. It's almost done! The oven chambers themselves are complete, and all that remains to be finished is the brickwork on the outside of the building. Franz notices one of the Jewish inmates is working especially hard bricking the south wall. He walks over, smiles cheerfully, and greets the man with the traditional construction corps motto- "Can we build it?" The man beams a wide grin, and responds, "Yes, we ca- !", but before he can finish the sentence, his brain explodes out of a hole where his right ear was a moment before. Franz holsters his Luger and tells the other workers to carry the corpse to the first oven. Now they can finally test it, to make sure it's working right! Franz flips the switch and listens to the roar of the fire. When the cycle is done, he opens the door cautiously. There's nothing left but ashes. It works! Hooray! Der Fuhrer Adolf will be pleased!
Chapter 2: Hello, Führer!
Later in the morning, Franz hears some good news. Adolf is coming to visit! Adolf drives up to Franz's residence hall in a shiny black car with little flags mounted on either side of the hood. Franz's cheeks get a little red when Adolf opens the backseat door of his car and bumps it into a pile of rotting corpses. He orders a crowd of nearby inmates to clean it up. However, they don't do it fast enough and are executed by firing squad, ironically creating yet another corpse mound. After ensuring sniper guards are in place on the rooftops to messily dispose of any captives who draw too near, Adolf and Franz take a walk to the new oven complex. Adolf is very pleased. He exclaims, "Franz, if this Reich of ours does not last until the end of time, may I have only one testicle!" Franz, who had watched Adolf's porno flick Scheisse mit Führer only the day before, doesn't have the heart to tell him.
Chapter 3: The Final Solution!
Now that the ovens are all working, it's time to carry out Adolf's Final Solution! Franz helps Hitler take the Jews to the concentration camps with his machines, but the action doesn't start until Chapter 4...
Chapter 4: The Holocaust
Bob and Hitler kill 6 million Jews. And 5 million other losers...

BRISTOL Tenn. – The Pfeiffer University men's soccer team (2-3-1, 0-1 Conference Carolinas) fell to King (1-3-1, 1-0), 1-0 in the conference opener on a rainy Saturday afternoon at Parks Field. Thomas Dube scored the lone goal, in the 65th minute, to give King the victory.
Pfeiffer keeper Nicolas Dulac was tested early in the first have but came up with back-to-back saves to keep the Tornados off the scoreboard. In the 21st minute, Aldo Ramirez took the Falcons first shot of the match and he followed that up less than two minutes later with a second shot that missed wide. After two yellow cards were given to King, Dammy Balogun had a shot but he couldn't connect. The half ended with a Pfeiffer corner kick by captain Chandler Ligas after Seth Dey's shot was blocked but the Falcons ran out of time as horn sounded. Pfeiffer held a 4-2 lead in shots and took the only corner kick of the half.
Simon Leslie and Jaime Sanclemente each took shots within the first five minutes of the second half, but Leslie's was blocked by the King defense and Sanclemente's was saved by Tornados goalkeeper Kari Sveinsson. Following that attack, King was able to take its first shot in 40 minutes of game action, but Dulac would make another save. King's offense became more aggressive, as they took five shots in less than eight minutes, with the final one giving them the 1-0 advantage. A Pfeiffer defender went to clear the ball but missed on his attempt and Dube benefited. He took the ball on a breakaway and slid it past Dulac in the 65th minute for his first goal of the season. Pfeiffer began to mount a comeback and had back-to-back corner kicks. The King defense turned away the Falcons attempts and Pfeiffer's final shot of the game was blocked.
"It was an even game that turned on a game-changing mistake," said Head Coach Bob Reasso. "We have competed at a very high level every game this year but it's unfortunate to lose in this fashion."
Dulac was outstanding in goal for Pfeiffer and was credited with six saves. He made a bunch of critical saves and kept the Falcons in the game. Pfeiffer was also forced to play without out dynamic freshmen playmaker Nathan Regis for most of the afternoon as he went off with an injury.
The match statistics shows how evenly the game was played. King held a 9-8 lead in shots, with the Falcons having a 6-5 advantage in corner kicks. Pfeiffer was whistled for eight fouls and King was called for seven.
The Falcons return to action on Wednesday afternoon when they travel to Gaffney, SC to take on Limestone with kick off slated for 4 p.m. The match will be the final of five straight matches away from Misenheimer for the Falcons. Including three pre-season, Pfeiffer will play nine of its first 10 matches away from home.
"Road games are always challenging and it's tough to have that many in a row to start a season and an academic year," said Reasso who is in his first year as the head coach. "At this level, winning on the road is never easy so the schedule has been difficult on us."

Results vs. St. Andrews (2008-03-26 00:00:00)
March 26, 2008
|Falcons wlax soars past St. Andrews
|Wednesday, 26 March 2008
|LAURINBURG, N.C.—Pfeiffer University -- ranked No. 10 nationally in the current IWLCA Division II Poll -- used an 11-2 second half to pull away from a one-goal game at halftime en route to a 17-7 Conference Carolinas women's lacrosse victory over host St. Andrews Presbyterian College on Wednesday afternoon.
Ashley Hill, who was named the Conference Carolinas women's lacrosse Player of the Week earlier today, had a game-high five goals and seven points to lead the Lady Falcons to their second straight league victory. Pfeiffer holds a 6-4 overall and 3-3 league records.
Hill and senior Ellie Fenton who scored four goals, were part of a quartet of Falcons who scored multiple goals. Junior Krissy Bentolila registered a hat trick and sophomore Jamie Livingston added a pair of goals.
The Knights pulled out to a 4-1 lead with a three-goal run in a one minute and 37 second span.
Pfeiffer answered and took the lead for good with a 5-0 run including a pair of goals by Hill. The Falcons looked to have a two-goal lead at halftime but Brown scored her third goal of the half as time expired to pull the score to 6-5 at the midway intermission.
The Falcons continued to lead 8-6 before going on an 8-0 outburst to pull away. Fenton started the run with back-to-back free-position goals.
Junior goalkeeper Kristine Schafer earned the win in net for the Falcons with seven saves.
Pfeiffer battles No. 8 Mercyhurst at neutral Anne Arundel Community College in Annapolis, Maryland on Saturday at 2:00 p.m.

Grey College will be looking for their 42nd consecutive home win when they play Affies in the pick of this weekend's round of schoolboy matches.
Click here for more schools articles
Both sides are coming off the back of a win, with Grey having defeated Paarl Boys' 50-8 last weekend and Affies sneaking past arch-rivals Pretoria Boys' 20-15. Grey and Affies have met 30 times since 1953, with the latter having claimed just three victories (the last of which came in 2006). Grey defeated Affies 31-12 in Pretoria last season.
By all accounts, Affies will be in for a long afternoon. Grey have a juggernaut pack, with No 8 Neil Jordaan and hooker Baksteen van Heerden having been particularly instrumental in their team's success this season. However, Grey will have to be clinical at the breakdown as Affies captain and flanker Reinhardt Heydenrych has been in superb form, stealing opposition ball at will.
There are a few interesting fixtures to keep an eye on in the Western Cape.
Bishops take on a SACS side that is low on confidence after being thrashed 52-21 by Rondebosch last weekend. Bishops, on the other hand, are unbeaten and have played some sublime running rugby this season. They narrowly squeezed past Boland Landbou (19-15) and Dave Mallett's side will be looking for a more clinical performance against SACS. Bishops will once again rely heavily on their two standout players, No 8 Nizaam Carr and pivot and captain Sam Lane. The weather could also have a big impact on the game, with a massive cold front expected to hit Cape Town on Friday.
Meanwhile, Rondebosch will host Paul Roos in what promises to be an explosive encounter. Both sides recorded good wins last weekend with Bosch smashing SACS and Paul Roos beating Paarl Gym 47-36. Paul Roos will start the game as heavy favourites. They will try to to free up enterprising fullback Craig Barry, who made huge inroads with some scintillating runs last Saturday, while scrumhalf and captain Rick Schroeder will look to snipe around the fringes at any given opportunity. Rondebosch, on the other hand, have a pack that can compete with the best in the country and will be looking to take their visitors on physically. Loose forwards Chad Mathews and Michael Aristedeau will spearhead the Bosch charge.
Wynberg will be hosting Paarl Boys' High, with the latter desperate to return to winning ways after their heavy defeat to Grey College. Wynberg, however, are a determined side at home and will be looking to free up the talented Williams brothers – Ashley and Ezra – in the centres. Paarl Boys' coaches Elmo Wolfaard and Richard Visagie have worked hard this week to eradicate the elementary errors that cost them so dearly in Bloemfontein. They will rely heavily on flyhalf Gavin Hauptfleisch to get the Paarl side moving forward, especially in conditions that are wet underfoot.
In other fixtures, Paarl Gym will host Boland Landbou in Paarl, Pretoria Boys' High travel to St John's and St Stithians take on Jeppe. Keep an eye out for St John's right wing Manjalo Madiba and Jeppe flank Ricardo Menezes.
