ALUMNI REPORT: San Pasqual grad Eveland finally arrives at Pacific
San Pasqual grad Eveland finally arrives at Pacific
And while Eveland is having a blast at Pacific, he'll never forget that magical 30-1 season at San Pasqual.
"That was one of the most fun times in my life," said Eveland, whose little brother, Brennan, is a freshman at San Pasqual.
"We had great guys. The team chemistry was off the chart. We were friends on and off the court.
"And we almost won everything."
San Pasqual lost to Scripps Ranch in the semifinals that season, losing a chance at a CIF title and a perfect season.
"That was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Eveland said. "It's too bad it didn't work out."
Things, however, have worked out for Eveland and he's finally right where he wants to be ---- playing Division I college basketball.

On the heels of her career-best and Eastern College Athletic Conference-qualifying weight throw at the Delaware Invitational, Navy's Amanda Phelps (El Camino) was named the Patriot League Field-Athlete of the Week. Phelps' work is paying off, as the second-year thrower has shown marked improvement in the early stages of the season.
For the second time in as many competitions, Phelps built upon her career-best effort in the 20-pound weight throw, unleashing a toss of 52-feet-7 1/2.
Her effort is the second-longest in the Patriot League this season, behind Bucknell's Chelsey Musante. It not only improves upon the team's best mark from a year ago, but ranks Phelps among the top-four weight throwers in school history.
Saturday, she placed fourth in the shot put (38-9 1/2) and second in the 20-pound weight throw (47-9), as Navy won the six-team Navy Open.
Steven Howshaw (Tri-City Christian) is playing for Lincoln Stars of the United States Hockey League after being traded from the Waterloo Black Hawks.
A defenseman, Howshaw was born in Vista and attended Tri-City Christian in 2004. He finished high school at Culver Academy in Indiana.
The United States Hockey League is well known for sending its players on to four-year colleges.
Men's volleyball
< Taylor Hughes (Fallbrook), a 6-foot-7 redshirt freshman at Pacific (4-0), is second on the team with 37 kills and second with 15 blocks.

Men's basketball
< Lorenzo Keeler (Escondido), a senior at Cal Poly-SLO, was the Big West Conference Player of the Week two weeks ago after scoring 78 points in three games. He had 18 against Pacific, 22 against UC Davis and a career-high 38 on UC Irvine. Keeler leads the team with 15.1 points a game. He had a streak of 27 consecutive free throws snapped.
< Greg Grimm (Rancho Buena Vista), a junior guard at Cal Lutheran, scored a career-high 24 points Wednesday in a loss to LaVerne, and had 19 in a loss to Occidental on Saturday. He's averaging 14.7 points and 4.1 rebounds a game for the Kingsmen and leads the team with 47 assists and 29 steals.

The uphill task of Meenakashipuram residents to bridge infrastructural gaps
There are umpteen peek-a-boo moments as the sun shines through huge silver oak trees at noon. Sometimes the rays manage to pierce through but many times the far-reaching branches win out. In this interplay of light and shade, an old lady can be seen carrying a huge gunny bag of rice that she has collected from the ration shop.
She left home the day before to collect this rice. "I have to walk at least 10 km to reach my home and have to finish all my household works before sunset," she says, climbing a 60-degree slope of rubble. That's because she has no electricity at home. "Tomorrow I should also join my team of women filling these stretches."
Selvi has been living in Meenakshipuram, a village on the Sirumalai range, for almost five decades. The village is named so because it is part of the Meenakshi Amman Temple's land. The people here trudge for hours together to buy their rations, sell their agricultural produce and get medical treatment. When someone is expecting a baby, the entire family simply shifts to Dindigul for a year so that the child can be delivered safely.
People from the hills are known to be tough. They are hardened by their way of life and by government apathy. Despite repeated incidents and accidents here, authorities have been slow to help, unless it is election time. And election promises usually remain mere promises. Though the villagers had little hope of help, they did ask for the 100-days job programme to be implemented here.
Village with nil facilities
Meenakshipuram has 312 people, 170 votes, 226 ration cards. But the hamlet has no road, electricity, hospital, school or ration shop. In fact, the villagers are often suspected by Dindigul police and civil supplies officials of selling ration rice in the open market, especially when they wait under the Dindigul Bridge to get a lift home.
"Often to buy rice and groceries for Rs.100, we spend Rs.400 to Rs.500," says P. Veeranan, elected member of Ward No. 1. "Hence, most of the time we pool in some people and send them to buy for the half-a-dozen families. This bulk purchase often gets us trapped in suspicion net."
The Meenakshipuram villagers have decided not to brood over all that. Instead, they took it up as a challenge to do something for their own betterment. And S. Paneerselvam, Viralipatti panchayat president, kept his promise of bringing in the 100-day job scheme.
Though the village comes under Madurai District's jurisdiction, the access is through Dindigul District. Villagers must travel three hours by bus to reach Dindigul town, and they must board that bus at Ooradi, a 20 km walk from home. Sometimes they cling to vans and trucks that carry their produce. Even these truckers do not help villagers during the rains, as the steep rubble stretch becomes slippery and dangerous.
Joint initiative
When the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme was introduced, the villagers brainstormed and zeroed in on roads and transport facilities as their top priority. "We often slog through 20 km up and down to board a bus," Selvi says. "During rainy season, life becomes worse and words cannot elaborate our woes."
There is a steep and narrow way, believed to have been used by British, to reach Karuppukoil (Madurai District) within two hours. But it is suited only for people who are not carrying any goods. "Only walkers can use this steep and lonely road," says Chinna Ayyavu, who sometimes walks down to reach town.
"We motivated the villagers to find a solution for their transport facility," says Centre for Rural Education and Development secretary S. Alagesan. The NGO has been working in the village for the past five years involving men and women in forming self-help groups.
After continuous motivational meetings, Meenakshipuram villagers decided to contribute their bit to laying the country road to ease vehicular movement. They fill the trenches with stones collected from various parts of the forest. Then they fill the stretch with mud.
All villagers must participate in the work. At least one person from each family should chip in to work at least for 20 days. "This is to instil a sense of belonging to the road," says Alagesan.
Applying traditional knowledge
"The road will also serve as a water course during rainy season," he adds. "Villagers have a traditional knowledge of that and they make roads where water would seep down under the piled stones."
Of the 650 acres of farmland here, villagers grow vegetables on 500 acres and plant the rest with pepper, coffee and banana. Sirumalai banana, once the crop plant in this area, is cultivated only in backyards now. At present, they are cultivating for traders, who buy back the produce. The villagers must pay back the traders' advances and, because they are far from open markets, they are forced to accept low prices offered by intermediaries.
All these are set to change soon with the new path they are creating for themselves. The rays of hope penetrate this hamlet more and more every day, obstacles notwithstanding.

Advice Summer Mass Gain
Advice Summer Mass Gain
I'm almost sure I'm going to catch alot of flak for being so young but i do turn 21 in August.
Ran p-plex twice. p-plex from CEL. looking to gain 10-15 lbs no more. I have been lifting seriously for two years. BF% 10. I havent measured bodyparts in a long while so I'm not going to give those numbers.
Current Supps
Fish Oil
Flex a min( joint supp)
Tribulus from ON
Pro Complex from ON
I train three on,one off,two on, one off.
Back,shoulders,arms,rest,chest ,legs,rest.
Alot of compound movements- squats,deadlifts,bench press,pull ups, dips.
Eating around 3500 calories a day.40%carbs,40%protein,20%fat .
May end up upping carb intake. Not feeling very energetic lately.
Looking for advice on supps to take over the summer. And if all your going to do is give me crap for taking ph's before I'm 21 then dont say nothin. I was naive and didnt know what i was doing. My friends gave me the stuff and i took it. Everyone makes mistakes. Dont rub em in.....
Let me know what bodyparts u guys think i should work on. I didnt even take a pic of my calves. They are horrible but im trying. Thank guys and please only constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated.

Hard to tell from the pictures, and everyone is going to have different answers based on what they consider improvement. According to me, maybe work on getting a tad more cut, bulk up the triceps, and cut some more definition into the biceps. With a good cut, maybe also work on the obliques. More trapezius. I guess one could ask for more definition in your quadricepts, but the size is damn straight on.
All in all, in no place are you truly lagging.
thanks man. you didnt help much with the supps but its all good. im not worried about a cut right now. trying to gain more mass

And I think many of the people here will agree that age is less of a factor versus the obvious being physically mature (18-21, so I geuss maybe age...), and having the lifting, safety and nutritional experience to back it up.
I would suggest proper whey protein supplementation throughout the day. Maybe 20 grams every two to three hours =]. Expensive yes, but effective.
Weight gainers 2-3 times a day.
Keep taking your fish oil and multivitamins.
Creatine Monohydrate.
One thing I would like to try soon which might work well for you if your taking in alot of carbs - glycobol or glycergrow.
Dark Matter.
Good preworkout supplement
Oatmeal, brown rice, wild red salmon, clean tuna.
Shoot for 1.5 - 2 gallons of water a day.
Anything that will help you sleep such as melatonin or a natty growth hormone product.

The Shoreview Northern
Lights Variety Band is a community band headquartered in the northern
Twin Cities suburb of Shoreview,
Minnesota. Its mission is to provide an opportunity for musicians
over the age of 16 to gather for the purpose of having fun making music
together, developing musical talents, promoting musical and social exchange,
and performing at community events. The Band's philosophy is that playing
in an instrumental music ensemble should be a rewarding, lifelong experience,
and not one that simply ends after graduation from school.
We rehearse each Tuesday evening from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Shoreview Community Center, Victoria Street at Highway 96, Shoreview. We do not rehearse or perform during August.
The Shoreview Northern Lights Variety Band maintains an active concert schedule. The year is highlighted by two formal concerts, performed at Bethel University's Benson Great Hall in the Spring and in December. The Band also performs in a number of north suburban community celebrations, including events in White Bear Lake, Roseville and Shoreview. The Shoreview Northern Lights Variety Band is under the direction of music director Merle Danielson.
Funding sources for the Shoreview Northern Lights Variety Band include corporate sponsorships, annual membership dues, concert revenue, fund-raisers, donations and assistance from the City of Shoreview. The group has a variety of ongoing needs, particularly in the area of percussion equipment, stage equipment (music stands, stage lighting, etc.), and a music library. The group is incorporated as a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization, and is governed by an elected Board of Directors.

Casa Camper Berlin
Weinmeister Strasse 1, Berlin, Germany
Neighborhood: Mitte
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
For some of us, the name is all the description this one needs. But for those of you who demand a little more explanation than simply Casa Camper Berlin, we'll elaborate. It's a sequel to the Casa Camper in Barcelona, owned by the Spanish footwear brand, and it brings the same youthful irreverence and unpretentious artiness to Berlin, which for all the differences between the two cities is probably the most logical choice if it's young cosmopolitan creative types you're after.
The rooms and suites are stylish in a remarkably original way. That Camper brick red color is everywhere in evidence, and the modern-utilitarian design comes off humble rather than bombastic. Guests expecting white-glove luxury should look elsewhere, but most of us will find it more than comfortable enough — here some of the weight is carried by inspiring visuals and clever design rather than acres of marble and handmade horsehair beds.
With a location right in the middle of Berlin Mitte the Casa Camper is anything but isolated. Inevitably there are times when you'll want to stay in, though, and the hotel offers one remarkable enticement: the Dos Palillos restaurant serves Asian tapas under the direction of Albert Raurich, formerly the chef de cuisine at Ferran Adrià's El Bulli.

03 September 2013 19:44 [Source: ICIS news]
HOUSTON (ICIS)—US ethylene spot margins fell by 0.6% week on week for the week ended 30 August, the ICIS margin report showed on Tuesday.
Margins for ethane-based spot ethylene fell to 47.28 cents/lb ($1,042/tonne, €792/tonne) from 47.58 cents/lb a week prior.
Most of the decline came as spot prices fell on average by 0.25 cents/lb week on week, tracking some improved supply.
Concerns about tight supply and increasing feedstocks have been balanced out by steady to slightly soft demand since late June, keeping margins mostly steady between 45-48 cents/lb.
Feedstock ethane costs increased to 11.11 cents/lb for the week ended 30 August compared with 10.95 cents/lb a week prior, further eroding margins.
Ethane cracker co-product credit values increased week on week, to 4.14 cents/lb from 4.03 cents/lb, tracking higher propylene costs.
US ethylene for September was bid at 54.75 cents/lb and offered at 55.50 cents/lb on Monday, sources said.

Apple Macintosh Software Game - 'Warlords II', 3½" Floppy Disk, 1994 Reg. No: HT 13663
- Summary:
- 'Warlords II' is a fantasy strategy game on four floppy disks with two booklets, a map and two marketing cards in a cardboard box in a sleeve, introduced in 1994.
This fantasy game allowed up to eight players to participate. It features castles, monsters, heroes and armies. The players controlled the production of units such as the composition of cavalry or infantry. Units included heroes to which a player could assign quests such as a search for artifacts. Players played in turn, one assuming the 'hot seat' after the other.
'Warlords II' expanded the system allowing hidden maps, new and different armies and more options such as creation of alliances and new maps. The game had good quality sound and music.
This game was collected because it was designed and produced by an Australian software development company, the Strategic Studies Group, commonly known as SSG, that makes strategy war games.
It was also collected because it is representative of the use of the graphic user interface (GUI) introduced in 1983, even though the game itself was released in 1994.
In 1983, the donor's parents gave him an Apple II Europlus. He used it for essays, medical school assignments and games. He became especially interested in war games and he stated that an Australian Sydney-based company Strategic Studies Group had the best war games at that time, which he began and continued to collect.
This item is part of a representative collection of hardware, software, trade literature and promotional material that documents the history of the Apple company, and its contribution to, and impact on the computer industry and society.

GUN CONTROL IN THE THIRD REICH: Disarming the Jews and Enemies of the State
Presents the definitive history of how the Nazi regime used gun control to disarm and repress its enemies and consolidate power. Previous books on Nazi Germany and the Holocaust fail even to mention the laws restricting firearms ownership, which rendered Jews, political opponents, and other disfavored groups defenseless.

Using a Gamepad?

So I downloaded this game on my laptop and the controls are killing me. I downloaded Motionjoy and connected got my Ps3 remote to work. The only problem now is I cant seem to get it to work during the game, I went to the options and tried clicking where it says pad but it isn't clickable. Does anyone think they could me out? Im sure the game would be a lot better if we could use a ps3 remote!
Remote? besides I have that same problem, but with an XBOX 360 controller.
Yeah, all my friends say pad, I just never called it that, dont know why. I have my XBOX 360 pad connected too, I just cant get any of them to work during the game. Can somebody shed some light on us!?
cant you map the controller to the the buttons that play the game...
To play PC games with a gamepad, I usually get joy2key and do what the above guy said; map the buttons to whatever keys in-game.
Thing is, I've never gotten my PS3 controller to work as a gamepad. I didn't look too far into it honestly, but IIRC I've tried two different programs that claimed to allow you to use your PS3 controller as a gamepad and neither worked out for me. Maybe I did something wrong, maybe the controller just has poor PC support.. I don't know.
Let me know if you get it figured out though.
If you are Taz and are 100% proud of it put this as your signature.
Just call me "God King Emperor Taz".
i got a blue old pelican afterglow for ps3 and windows 7 reginized it but the game wont... maybe game has no gamepad support at this time...
Yeah I'm beginning to think that too. There is a tab in the options that says "gamepad", it's just not click-able. Hopefully they do something about it.
I definitely will let you know if they ever change it.
so much for that laptop was stolen
Apparently the NA version doesn't support gamepads yet, but the other versions do.
So yeah, we're probably going to get it.
From: GodTaz | #009
Nice. My arcade stick is read as a 360 controller, so hopefully I'll be able to try that lol.

Bare Eye
Meet an often invisible win-win coach
THOSE were indeed glittering feats delivered by the teenage Philippine boxing team on the final day of a gold-picking expedition at the Subic Freeport in Zambales last March 16. The five-man team won four gold medals, and missed tying powerhouse Kazakhstan (4 golds, 1 silver) for the top spot by a silver medal.
In a way, the young PH team (aged 17-18) did surpass itself because Kazakhstan had entries in all 10 divisions. An established world power in amateur boxing, Kazakhstan also brought in a Cuban coach, maybe the first time it had done so in its storied international stints.
National amateur boxing president Ricky Vargas was profuse with praises for the golden feats. He did not say it but Vargas appeared convinced they have found the right path in their quest for the country's first Olympic gold.
* * *
It was a sparkling stand by the Pinoy simonpures but no one could honestly point out what made all the difference.
One veteran scribe at ringside was quick to single out the presence of a British consultant who had offered to assist the national team during the London Olympics last year.
"He really emphasized on defense which helped the team tremendously," the scribe explained.
There, indeed, has been great improvement in that area, but when the coach of the teenage national squad, three-time Olympian Romeo Brin, moved over to the radio booth for a postfight talk and felicitation with dzSR, the soft-spoken warrior proved to be quite a revelation.
* * *
"Eumir Marcial was good, but he kept getting hit silly in the head, mainly in the final round," this reporter told coach Brin.
The dusky, battle-scarred Olympian humbly acknowledged the observation and explained they would next concentrate on that flaw: "Tinuturuan, pero hindi natin mabigla, masyado pang mura (We're teaching him, but we're going slow. He's too raw)."
Brin also explained that Marcial, a bantamweight gold medalist in the last World Youth Boxing Championships who has suddenly grown into a welterweight, still has to fully steady himself up in the heavier division.
On James Palicte, who opted to stand in front of his foe without doing anything in the closing round, Brin explained that they just "kidnapped" the lanky lightweight from the recent National Open in Maasin, Leyte.
"Wala talagang hangin, pero matapang at mabilis matuto (He was short-winded but is a fast learner, very brave)," Brin explained.
* * *
Would Brin be made to handle these talented amateurs all the way in their quest for slots in the Olympics?
Truth is these gold-medal winners and other talents in their young batch may not be ripe and ready yet for the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games.
But what could be truly heartwarming was the quiet emergence of Brin, a native of Taytay, Rizal, now based in Palawan, as the most convincing trainer and teacher of emerging boxing talents.
This is not to say the 40-year-old Brin, who had fought with very little success in the Atlanta, Sydney and Athens Olympics, could finally prove to be the missing link.
Always short and smaller in all his three Olympic stints, Brin has apparently translated all his losing experiences into humble winning pointers for his young wards.
"Hindi puwedeng sigawan at sabihin kung anong gagawin sa oras ng laban (It's not proper to shout and tell the boxer what to do during a fight)," Brin explained softly.
He believes that shouting out instructions frantically during a fight could mislead or disorient the young fighter.
Brin believes in first quietly assuring young fighters, teaching them how to be sharply convenient with their strength and skills, instead of always telling them what they were doing wrong.
Problem: Brin is so humble, obscure he tends to be invisible even at the moment of triumph.

After a 5-year hiatus, Congress has restored funding for U.S. inspectors to oversee horse slaughter, opening the door for horses to be killed and butchered in the United States for the first time since 2006.
No one wants to see any horse killed for meat or to turn a fast buck, and PETA has always had concerns about the suspension of US slaughter, since it meant more suffering for these sensitive animals, not less. What we feared would happen did: Rather than have a change of heart and stop killing horses, greedy ranchers who deal in horse flesh simply jammed their "commodities" into tractor trailers and hauled the frightened animals hundreds of miles to Canada and Mexico – a journey most did not have to face before – to terrifying deaths in slaughterhouses there.
As PETA documented years ago, that ride means horses crammed together with strangers who bite and kick, slippery floors that mean foals and pregnant mares fall and are trampled, and horses who, being taller than cows but often shipped in cattle trucks, must ride the whole way with their heads bent to their chests. That export loophole still needs to be slammed shut. To reduce horses' suffering, there must be a ban on exports of live horses together with a ban on slaughter in the U.S., or it doesn't work, never did, never will.
Remember, industries that breed horses for profit—horseracing, rodeo and the carriage trade—are largely to blame for this crisis since they have created the tragic overpopulation of horses.

I hate heartless people….people are getting worse and worse about killing everything that turns "bad." They are NOT bad they are just seen differently. They need to be put up for adoption so they can find a true family that loves them so…but never the less, there are sick horrible people out there that don't give a crap about anything, except money… I wish we could do something big for the horses. Something like go on strike in front of the presidents building. Something to get more attention…something so people would understand… I am a major horse lover. I'm not a fighter but I'll fight fir what I love. <3

This is absolutely sick. I can't even believe that human's can be so cruel to animals. We should all have the same rights. No animal deserves's to be killed or slaughtered. This just makes me hate being a human. What kind of world do we live in? And how can ANYONE sign something like this and AGREE to torture these sweet,loving, innocent animals ??!?! This is simply SICK.

Equine killing is not acceptable under ANY circumstance.
Many of these animals can be used for good.
Organization, funding and care are the main hurdles.
The past has shown us how this creature can help our future. Hope and friendship like no other can be gained by a young persons bond with a horse. Work and transportation may, in the upcoming years, need to be accomplished as well.
Gentle when treated that way, horses should be allowed to help us. If you are of like mind, please ask Ellen DeGeneres to help us find a way to SAVE THE HORSES!

I happen to own two horses. One of which I rescued after he was abandoned without food for two years and the other who I rescued after she was taken off the track for being "too slow". I had my barnowner tell me "It is fine to shoot a horse in the head, it is okay to slaughter them." After this, I promptly moved my horses. Horses are phenomenal creatures that do not deserve this type of treatment. As if the actual slaughter isn't bad enough, they have to live in horrid conditions for long periods of time. It starts with our horse auctions. They need to ban meat buyers. Overall, the biggest thing we need is a ban on the export of these horses as well as the slaughter of them. AND GET HORSE SLAUGHTER THE HELL OUT OF CANADA.

We all concentrate on the result of the actual problem. Too many horses are bred to support the various 'sport' that those horses are needed for to make MONEY for the humans. Target those breeders and those 'sport'-institutions and 'kill' the problem at the root… If not that… we are fighting a battle already lost.

this is just plain wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! does every one realize that Obama has changed his political views on abortion also????? ya, he has hes now in supporting of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To me horses are another one of "mans best friend" animals. well more womens best friend, but thats just my opinion…any way i could not even think of how id react if this gets passed!!!!!!!!!!!!!What has America turned into.. i mean horses have carried us through battle, horses are even a part of Americas own History..Thank you to all of you who are out there being the voice of the horses. One day I'll have my rescue and it will be my turn, to be their voice

In America we don't eat horse meat because we consider a horse a pet.We don't eat our cats,dogs, or horses.The mass breeding has got to stop just like the puppy mills that need to be shut down.Anyone breeding horses for what ever reason needs to have a limit placed on them.Just like we limit our dog breeders.
1267 days ago
This is so sad. Who gives anyone the right to kill these graceful creatures. The US with most things just does what it wishes. Obama needs to step up and prevent these killings from happening. The human race DOES not have the right just to kill what it considers to be no longer useful.

Obviously, Obama has NO regard for the health & well-being of these beautiful, defenseless animals! Here is an excerpt of the article:
Obama Signs Horse Slaughter Bill
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, November 30, 2011, 4:35 PM
Barack Obama restored the American horse-slaughter industry this month.
The Washington Times reported:
President Obama earlier this month quietly signed into law a spending bill that restores the American horse-slaughter industry, just a few months after a government investigation said the ban on slaughtering for human consumption was backfiring.
The agriculture spending bill Mr. Obama signed the week before Thanksgiving did not include a ban on the inspection of horse meat — a backdoor prohibition that had, since 2006, effectively halted the U.S. horse-slaughter industry.

This decision is an abomination and should never happen! Isn't it incredibly sad to see Congress fund such cruelty to our nation's horses! Everyone knows today that the horseracing industry, rodeos and the carriage trade all have created the tragic overpopulation of horses!! Again, man screws up and who pays? Innocent animals, of course!
If we consider ourselves civilized in this country, we will ban exports of live horses with a ban on slaughter in the U.S! We will respect these animals rather than consider them only commodities that bring in $$$. Where is the compassion of the lawmakers? It is truly tragic to think that there is none in Congress!
1267 days ago
I have a horse of my own, and he is my life, pride and joy. I can not even merely begin to understand how you can send your horses off to slaughter like they're a worthless piece of garbage. If anything, you are for treating someone who is only trying to please you like crap. This is ridiculous and needs to be stopped before it is started. Can't wait until Obama is gone, and horse slaughtering around the world is stopped as a whole.
1267 days ago
I have loved horses all my life and even had one of my own. They are very intelligent and can feel fear, pain, hunger, and all other feelings. When they play they, laugh, jump, and chase each other.
Isn't there any ranch that has space for these beautiful animals? I'm sure if someone with room for them out back on acres of grass and trees would invite all that are saved to come, people of PETA and other animal loving organizations would put up the money or the hands on help to get these horses over there.
Can you help with the trip to save a horse?… or more? Let this be a seed of thought for people who are able to make this dream come true, and let it grow. I am not able to help, I'm disabled and only have enough money to at least live in a house. If I won the lotto, I would be that person who opens some acreage for majestic animals like the horses. Thanks for reading and praying with me.

Retire them instead of killing them…put the horses into pastures where they can roam & running til their time's up just like humans going to retirement homes. If or when you (killers) kill the horses, you better off kill the humans too. No wonder Obama doesn't care for anything…what did Obama did that was so great ?? NOTHING !!
1268 days ago
This is deplorable and inhumane. If Obama lets this happen I think his whole family should be present for the slaughter. I cannot believe with all the food resources we have that this will be allowed.
I certainly won't be voting for Obama and his get rich quick friends who turn a fast buck for slaughtering helpless animals.
Hell with him and his family. Hope he explained all this to his children.

This just sucks! Horses are companion animals. They are used for transportation,labor and people love their horses. They should not be a Big Mac for the Japanese or French. I am sick and tired of these riders on bills that destroy the environment and allow animals to be pawns.
1268 days ago
I am outraged by this news. What the hell is going on with congress? They are going to help fund this? Why don't we just slaughter the homeless too? Unbelievable! My love for horses is overpowering and to others its food? No question that this needs to be stopped now.
1268 days ago
This is truly revolting. Killing animals for any reason is bad, but killing them for profit in brutal ways after a long and painful transport is beyond what any civilized society should allow. The fact that animals suffer everywhere by human hands says something very ugly about our species.
1270 days ago
This can not be allowed to start again. It is bad enough that cows and other animals are slaughtered in such horrible conditions, but to use an animal for work and or as a pet and then when it needs to retire or gets sick or owners get tired of it we ship it off to be inhumanly slaughtered.
Stop the greed and lust for the "WEAL American DOLLAR) and abuse of ALL animals please.

I was very disturbed reading about this. Just what is going on in the sick brains of those working on resuming this aberration? Would it be ok in their minds to also bring back concentration camps and genocide to our land, since they could show their superiority over those they deem inferior?
We truly are a sick and evil species, one our Planet could do without, a plague, a fatal virus that preys and destroys anything it pleases. We should be working to eliminate these aberrations, not fuel them, just the same way it was done with Slavery and other Human, gross stupidities. Anyone who knows, or has experienced persecution, bullying, oppression, cruelty, racism, abuse, torture, exploitation, ridicule, sadism, repression, shame, barbarism and their likes, should be capable of understanding this injustice.
We should be working against phasing out and ending these barbaric, regressive culture of savagery, not even considering such a terrible thing!

This is disgusting, I've been a Horse lover since I was like 5 and never been able to owe one. But yet I who would love and care for a horse can't have one but these people who are just going to kill and torture them can.!! Ugh I' am outraged.!! Is there anyway this bill can be over turned.?
1273 days ago
As the person of a horse that was saved from the killer buyer, I am beyond disgusted with horse slaughter. My horse did nothing on the racetrack to speak of, but he is so kind and loving that he is worth his weight in gold! I am so thankful that my mother picked him! Every time I pass a slaughter truck that is northbound for Canada, I always start crying because my heart goes out to the poor creatures who are on it.

I am an Australian, and although this has happened in the USA I am devastated that a country I have visited and who are our comrades in arms could do this. The horse carried and dragged and slaved for you to build your Country.
Upon their backs you went to war, with eachother and the world? And the horse carried you faithfully into the future.
This is how you repay them, their love, trust and steadfast faithfulness?
Please make a noise, sign the petition against this atrocity, speak to your Congress members.
For the sake of this beautiful creature all over this Planet.

I think laws should be enforced and made stronger that punish people with prison time for not taking care of their own horses. I have kept my horses and when the time came paid to have them put to sleep then buried them, most people do this for their dogs so why not for their animals. I don't have a problem with them doing it for older horses if that would be the case but I would never eat one and I love most all kinds of meat.

For those looking to help,
here's a petition to get the ban reinstated!
Thank you for taking the time to fight for those who cannot!

I have been vegetarian for 30 yrs for ETHICAL reasons, b/c of the conditions under which our meat animals must suffer HORRIBLY. Death for an animal isn't what's so terrible; it's the way their lives are lived while they are here, and what we do to chickens, pigs and cows is unconscionable. Horses are my absolute passion in life, only second to my husband. Horses ARE my life! But here's my question: Why is it OK to torture animals that do nothing more for us than feed us, but it's NOT OK to kill an animal just b/c WE happen to "like" them? It's all the same to the animal! And I'm in no way a religious person, but if you are, what about how the animal looks in God's eyes? Is a horse "better" than a cow? If you live in India, it's totally opposite! The COW is the one that is sacred!
I will tell you what happened after the slaughterhouses were closed. HORSES LIVED IN HELL!!! Because people who could no longer care for them, or WOULD no longer care for them if they were old or sick, those horses were neglected, starved, abused, SET LOOSE in the woods where they either found their way out to roads and got hit, or slowly starved. IMO, horses who have lived most of their lives happy, but who end up in a slaughterhouse are MUCH better off than those that have been left to starve or die a slow death from disease or injuries left untreated.
I have found that the majority of people who object to horse slaughterhouses are NOT horse people. I know hundreds in the discipline I'm in, and almost without exception, my horse friends feel the same way.
What needs to change is not whether horses are slaughtered for meat. It is that the conditions of ALL meat animals needs to be humane and sensitive to the animals' conditions during its life, and on its way to slaughter.

After a 5-year hiatus, Congress has restored funding for U.S. inspectors to oversee horse slaughter, opening the door for horses to be killed and butchered in the United States for the first time since 2006. Did Obama do this?? Seriously?? Maybe he should personally go himself and see what he is allowing!!! Take his daughters with him to see the person is really is!! And what kind of people can actually go through such a tragic action???
1275 days ago
This is appaling. If we have retired race or other horses we need to put them on farms where people will love them and take care of them for the rest of their days. And where they can be appreciated and cherished for the gorgeous animals that they are. Not used for meat!!!!!
I am sure their are plenty of farms out in parts of NE and Iowa that would be willing to take in old, retired racehorces and care for and love them!!!!
1268 days ago
The real problem is and Sunny touched on this is overpopulation. So it would be great if there were farms willing to take retired, lame, old and no longer wanted horses. However, there is an increased chance of more neglect and that these horses will die an inhumane death. In a perfect world this would be a non-issue, but in reality the better approach would be to look for humane ways to control the population and to insure less abuse, neglect and unnecessary slaughter.
1275 days ago
It is disgusting that these practices still take place, even with laws preventing slaughter in the US, these abusers think that they are smart finding loopholes to carry on. However there is nothing clever about the slaughter of any animals and with PETA bringing this to the attention of the world, i believe that changes can be made for the better. Laws need to be stricter and enforced to save these beautiful creatures.
1275 days ago
This is shocking and sad news. Why can not they just retire the unproductive horses and let them live their natural death? US is such a rich country that it can feed them to bare minimum atleast till their last breath. PETA and other animal welfare organisations muct take serious action to stop such law. Its inhuman..!
1267 days ago
I agree totally. We people of this rich country of the United States, and proving to be probably the most stable of all countries, even with all of our problems, we have continued to show our sustainability. This start of horse slaughter in this country is abominable. We must send the message to make those who breed these horses to show some constraint and sterilize horses, so that so many unwanted ones are not born. We who know that these animals are treated cruelly, and suffer physically with a mammal's nervous system, must protest this Congressional action. And here it costs the government more money when we are trying to reduce spending. Let the ranchers pay for food for these horses. Let Congress know your thoughts.
It is Congress who restored the funding for this

Mount Everest
Welcome to our mini website about Mount Everest. Here you will find a directory consisting of guided and non-guided mountain climbing companies designed to help you summit Mount Everest. Here you also find a discussion about Mount Everest, a discussion about climbing preparation and Mount Everest weather forecasts. Here we also provide current news which may be interesting to the mountaineer. We provide two mountain climbing stores. One located here ALTREC.com OUTDOORS STORE and the other located here Mountain Climbing Store – Amazon. So if you are seeking to go on a paid expedition to the summit of Everest, or you are just thinking about it, this small site should be useful.
Mount Everest is the tallest mountain in the world if measured from mean sea level to it's peak. It's official height from mean sea level to it's peak is 29,035ft. There actually is some debate in terms of the height of Mount Everest. Some sources place the height at 29,028ft. But most mountain cartographers place it at 29,035ft. simply because this measurement was determined by radar and current GPS technology. Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay were officially the first to summit Mount Everest in 1953. At that time, using the most advance methods available, they found Mount Everest to have a height above sea level of 29,000ft. Not far from the official height of 29,035ft.
To summit Mount Everest is considered the ultimate symbol of achievement in most advanced societies around the world. Man has always been drawn to the challenge. Today, more people per year attempt an Everest summit then ever before. The best time to climb Everest is in the Spring, specifically March, April, or May. During this time Mount Everest can actually get somewhat crowded, and some times lines can form on the popular routes to the summit.
The border of Nepal and Tibet (China) straddles the mountain. There are two popular routes to climb Everest. They are the Northeast Ridge (North-Col) and the Southeast Ridge (South-Col) routes. An attempt on the summit from the Southeast Ridge route takes place from the Nepal side, and an attempt to summit from the Northeast Ridge route takes place from the Tibet side of the mountain. Of the two routes, the Southeast Ridge is considered technically easier and is the most popular route. This was the route used by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay in 1953. But their decision to climb this route was more political then technical. At that time, China was closed to Westerners and they could not attempt a summit from the Tibet (China) side.
While more and more people are attempting to summit Mount Everest, it should be noted that many novice climbers sometimes do not realize how really difficult a summit attempt is. Many of the expedition companies, guided or non-guided, provide information which make it look like a popular tourist destination. But make no mistake about it, Mount Everest is extremely dangerous and therefore you should keep this in mind during both mental and physical preparation. So how does one prepare for a summit attempt.
Mount Everest – Summit Preparation
- To start, take some mountaineering courses and learn about mountain climbing in terms of techniques, skills, and equipment needed. There have actually been people at Mount Everest base camp who do not even know how to put on basic climbing equipment, like crampons! Use the skills you learn on smaller mountains for three to four years prior to a Mount Everest summit attempt. During this training work your way up to higher terrain mountains, and also practice night time climbing. Typically, a Mount Everest summit attempt usually starts around midnight. Prior to an Everest summit attempt, summit several mountains above 18,000 feet. Of course, the more climbing experience before Everest the better.
- Build your physical and mental endurance. You absolutely must be physically fit to attempt an Everest summit. Develop your aerobic endurance by running, and build your running up over time. Some weight training can also be done during your training in preparation to summit Mount Everest. Have a physical exam completed and documented by your doctor before training, and right before your trip to Mount Everest, to make sure there are no hidden physical problems that may develop while on your trip. Some expedition companies actually require this.
- Save your money. A low budget trip with no guide can cost $25,000. A summit attempt with a guide can cost up to $60,000 or more.
- Plan your trip for the Spring. Specifically March to May, with May historically being the best month for a summit attempt. This is when the weather is the best in the Himalayas.
- Make a decision on the company you want to pay in order to climb Mount Everest. Use our directory of companies listed below. Also use their check list for preparation. You can do it on your own, but the logistics involved are tremendous and if you really want to summit Everest, most experts say you should use a climbing company.
- Attempt the summit during a weather window, and expect 20 hours of basically continuous climbing from the highest camp to the summit, and back to the highest camp. Typically, you will be able to rest for 30 minutes on the summit.
- Plan on at least two months for the entire trip. Much of the time is spent acclimatizing to the higher altitude, and waiting for a weather window to open up. A large portion of time is used just to get to the Mount Everest base camp.
The year 2007 was a record for the number of climbers who successfully reached the top of Mount Everest. More then 500 climbers successfully reached the Everest peak for 2007. Exact numbers are difficult to obtain, but what is known is that it was a record year. The next closest record was 470 for the 2006 season.
The total number of successful attempts to reach the summit has been recently increasing. Of the total of reported 212 deaths on Everest from 1921 to 2006, 192 occurred above Base Camp, and 80% of fatalities take place during the descent. This is most likely because during the descent you are more tired, less focused, and the adrenaline rush has died down. The worst year in terms of fatalities was in 1996, where 19 climbers died near the summit.
According to Everest News, as of December 31, 2004, the number of people who successfully summited Everest reached 2,249. If we add 470 from 2006, 500 from 2007, and 300 from 2009, this means at least 3,519 people have successfully summited Mount Everest. It should be noted that the exact numbers for this is difficult to obtain, and different sources provide different numbers. We could not even find the 2005 and 2008 numbers. What we can say is that at least 3,519 people have summited Mount Everest.
On May 10th 1996, a storm that raged through the Himalayan range took climbers by surprise and stranded many climbers on one of the final points just before the summit. This storm alone took the lives of eight climbers. Those who died were experienced climbers and novices alike. The lesson learned from this tragedy was that weather is the most important criteria when you or expedition leaders are deciding if an attempt on the summit can be done safely. Accurate weather forecasting using the latest weather forecasting technology is critical when deciding if an attempt on the summit can be made. The mountain will either let you climb or it will not. It is that simple.
When looking at the totality of the statistics, there is about a 9% fatality rate. But it should be noted that most of the fatalities occurred before 1990. Over the past ten years, the number of deaths from an attempted summit has dropped dramatically, due primarily from improvements in equipment, and from using experienced guides for a summit attempt.
Today, you can pay a company money for the use of a guide, which improves the survival rate. The following is our directory of climbing companies which provide climbing services with and without guides. If you are a novice mountain climber, you absolutely will need a guide. But even using a guide is no guarantee you will reach the summit. The probability of success increases if you have some mountain climbing experience, do the proper preparation, attempt a summit during a weather window, and use a guide which is provided in the package cost of a mountain climbing service. The following is our directory of expedition climbing companies which provide service for a summit attempt on Mount Everest.

Mount Everest – Climbing Code of Ethics
There is one more area that deserves discussion when talking about an attempt to summit Mount Everest. Here I am talking about mountain climbing ethics. There have been situations where climbers developed such a high fever pitch of get-to-the-summit, or what some call go fever, that they ignore their fellow climbers who are in a desperate physical condition. Climbers have ascended and descended past climbers who are actually dying. A quote from Sir Edmund Hillary "On my expedition there was no way that you would have left a man under a rock to die. It simply would not have happened".
Just as military personal will help a downed comrade during war, climbers to should help in whatever way they can if they see a fellow downed climber. It does not matter what their nationality is or what team they are on. Even providing them with some oxygen can be helpful, and even more helpful is to be involved in a rescue attempt. If it means you will not be able to summit because you attempted to save some one, in the end you will feel much better about yourself. Remember, the mountain will always be there. You can always attempt a summit at some point in the future. Being known for saving someone on Everest should be more appealing to most climbers, then an actual summit.
Mount Everest – Conclusion
An attempt for the summit of Mount Everest is serious business and your preparation should take this fact in mind. It is most likely one of the, if not the most difficult task you will do in your entire life. But if you are successful at a summit attempt on Mount Everest, it will forever change your life. It will result in developing a level of confidence that you probably had never experienced before. It will take unadulterated drive and determination, at a level you will not experience to many times in your life. But if you decide to make a summit attempt, you will increase the probability of success, as with most enormous undertakings in life, by proper preparation. Use our directory to find a climbing company, and remember to incorporate a code of climbing ethics into your thought process when attempting a climb. Remember the mountain will always be there. And finally, Godspeed on your summit attempt.

I don't know the cost details but I can't imagine it would increase the build cost very much - most large machine shops have big plate rollers. The framing in the chine area would take a bit more work as well, to get the radius on all the frames.
I see no reason why you couldn't do the same thing in alloy.
Yes.. agree that that will work in either medium.. more labour intensive still. Amazon and Waterline yachts on Vancouver Island made some very nice soft chine steel boats too, probably using similar techniques.
Years ago I saw in Victoria what I first believed to be a Norseman 447 (one of my favourite Perry designs).. turned out to be a 'homebuilt' in aluminum. It was a work of art and hard to tell from factory. Spent quite a bit of time discussing (and admiring) her with the owner/builder. Perry had apparently reworked the details for him, it looked to have worked out great. Have not seen it since.

Truth And Consequences will leave you with a greater sense of gratitude for the gift of the teaching Church and a greater desire to share this great gift with others as well.
Click on image to zoom
For many non-Catholics it's the single greatest stumbling block when it comes to seeing eye-to-eye with the teachings of the Catholic Church. Once you convince a non-Catholic to accept the teachings of an infallible Magisterium, everything else seems to fall into place.
Let Tim Staples new DVD, Truth And Consequences: The Case For Authority help you break down those barriers.
In an engaging and easy-to-follow style that has become his trademark, Tim uses three examples in the arena of faith, and two examples from the arena of morals to show not only why the Magisterium is crucial, but what the consequences are when the Magisterium is absent.
Tim demonstrates with clarity, force, and humor that these consequences extend beyond mere doctrinal error—they impact the destiny of our immortal souls.
Truth And Consequences: The Case For Authority will leave you with a greater sense of gratitude for the gift of the teaching Church and a greater desire to share this great gift with others as well. Let Tim enable you to engage others calmly and confidently when talking about these crucial truths.

Brad Marchand staying in Boston for now, might consider Europe in future
|10.11.12 at 2:55 pm ET
On the day that would have seen the NHL begin its regular-season schedule, agent Wade Arnott said Bruins forward Brad Marchand will stay in the Boston area for the time being in hopes that a new collective bargaining agreement can be reched between the NHL and the NHLPA.
Arnott told WEEI.com Thursday that though Marchand is staying in North America for now, he could consider playing in Europe in the future if it appears the league will lose the entire season as it did in 2004-05.
Said Arnott: "If the season becomes in jeopardy then Brad may look more seriously at his European playing options."
Marchand, 24, was second on the Bruins with 28 goals last season, his second in the NHL.

Sloan, Stockton entering Hall of Fame
SALT LAKE CITY Jerry Sloan needed a little coaxing from his children before acknowledging he may be Hall of Fame material.
Sloan has the fourth-most coaching wins in NBA history and is reluctant to take credit for any of them. He will push modesty aside on Friday and acknowledge – or at least sit quietly as others say it – that he's been one of the best coaches in the game for a very long time.
Sloan will be enshrined along with one of the players who got him there, former Jazz point guard John Stockton.
"You don't get here without a lot of help from a lot of people," said Sloan, who is the longest tenured coach in major professional sports.
Entering his 22nd season coaching the Jazz, Sloan likes to say his 1,137 victories – including 1,043 with Utah – are as much a product of longevity and having good players as anything he's done as a coach.
Sloan thanks late owner Larry Miller, who died in February, for having the patience during the lean times and not making a coaching change, as so many franchises have done – many more than once – during a tenure that dates back to when Stockton's signature short-shorts were fashionable.
He's also thankful to his assistant coaches and the dozens of players who have rotated in and out of the Jazz locker room since Sloan took over for Frank Layden in December 1988.
Two of his players will always stand out: Stockton, the NBA's all-time leader in steals and assists, and Karl Malone, who scored the second-most points in NBA history. Sloan coached the prolific pair for 15 seasons, which included two trips to the NBA finals in 1997 and 1998.
"I don't want to step in John and Karl's way. They're the ones that did all the work. They're the ones that probably helped keep me here, along with Larry Miller," Sloan said. "I certainly don't want to take anything away from them by me tagging along. I tagged along for a long time."
Sloan and Stockton will be inducted along with Michael Jordan, whose Chicago Bulls beat the Jazz both times they reached the finals. Stockton and Jordan both retired in 2003 and were sure things for the Class of 2009. Malone played one more season with the Los Angeles Lakers and will be eligible next year.
Sloan usually cringes at recognition like the Hall of Fame. He wanted no fanfare for his 1,000th coaching win a few years ago, nor last season when he won his 1,000th game with the Jazz – something no other NBA coach has done with one team. And he had to be talked into this weekend's festivities.
"I talked to my kids and my family. That's why I changed my mind. They thought I should," Sloan said. "That was a personal thing. They just said that I should do it."
Sloan chuckled last week that he hoped most of the fans at the ceremony in Springfield, Mass., will be there for the other inductees, who also include David Robinson and Rutgers women's coach C. Vivian Stringer. Like it or not, he will be honored, starting with a speech from Hall of Famer Charles Barkley – Sloan's choice to make the introduction.

We left NOLA on 6/22 and arrived back on the 29th.
Excellent and a very smooth ride. Boys had a good time also. Did some side excursions. Rented a cab in Cozumel and told the driver I want them to see as much of the city as we could safely go in to, things that would interest them. He was excellent touring guide.
We sailed to Cozumel, Belize, then on to Mahogany Bay (Roatan, Honduras). This was their first 7 day cruise, the first cruise without their parents or other brothers. They got 100 percent of our time. On boat they visited Camp Circle, their age group and met new friends and got in on the activities.
We ate, ate, and ate. They made a game of which one could eat the most ice cream cones daily. Winner did 7.
Carnival Dream tendered in Belize and we did the beach/lunch for the day.
Docked in Mahogany Bay and beach for the day.
It was a great time for me and wife to have one on one time with them, and time with them as grandsons. Bought 4 walkie talkies and they came in handy toward the end of the cruise pertaining to locating and answering questions. We tried not to bother them too much.
Docked back in NOLA, had a great breakfast and 6 hour drive home.
We needed a day to rest up upon arriving at home. Great trip. Highly recommend Carnival, and the Carnival Dream ship/crew.
It was a very enjoyable trip.

It is disheartening to read many letters favouring the Supreme Court ruling that the laws included in the Ninth Schedule are open to judicial review. It appears that the judiciary is assuming the ultimate authority of deciding what is in the interest of the common man. This is not a welcome trend. Every law that gives shape to the economic policies of elected governments could well be struck down on the ground that it violates the fundamental rights of one section or the other.
N. Chandrasekaran,
The very fact that legislators have found it convenient to shove 284 laws in the Ninth Schedule shows they had apprehensions about their constitutional validity. If Parliament alone is supreme and the judiciary should not test the validity of the laws passed by it, the Constitution is best amended to place all the laws outside the scope of judicial review. The word `supreme' prefixing the court is best dropped since it would no longer be appropriate to refer to it as such.
K.V. Krishnan,
The Ninth Schedule was a well thought out constitutional mechanism. It sprung from the recognition of the need for quick implementation of certain critical laws for the establishment of a just social order. However, over the years, the Schedule became a convenient shield to keep laws out of judicial purview.
But it is also true that social discrimination continues to be as acute as ever. The fundamental right of dignified life is denied to many even now. In the interest of social justice, the protection of laws under the Ninth Schedule should continue. What is needed is the laying down of objective yardsticks for inclusion of laws in the Schedule to ensure that it is not misused.
Manohar Alembath,

Selmasongs, Björk's new mini-soundtrack for Lars von Trier's highly touted Dancer in the Dark (in which she also stars), has too much dark and not enough dancertextured passages that might sound great with luscious visuals, but are mere din from a cheap CD boom box. The only exception is "Cvalda," a gleefully anarchistic '30s Hollywood musical homage in which Björk bends her throat into a chorus not dissimilar to Einstürzende Neubauten (though she didn't have to go and spend a lot of money on power tools to achieve the effect). In the process, she tosses off potentially dirty non sequiturs like she was the Kingsmen: "Tott-ay crash cack/fuck-ay bon sum/Prattle tattle crack suck buck fi-ya!" To pull off exhibitionist, almost deviant singing of this type, all you have to do is open your mouth really wide and try to swallow the flies buzzing around the room; in "Cvalda," Björk swallows the room itself.

Microsoft Breaches Anti-Trust Laws In Germany
Antitrust regulators said that Microsoft is illegally influencing retail prices for its Office 2007 programs.
The Antitrust regulators are also fining Microsoft Corp.'s German subsidiary $11.8 million.
Germany's economic regulatory body, The Bundeskartellamt, said that an undisclosed retailer worked with Microsoft to set the price of Microsoft's Office Home and Student 2007 software packages before the companies jointly launched an ad campaign.
"Not every contact between supplier and retailer regarding resale prices constitutes an illegal concerted practice," the German group said in the statement, but such communication can't lead to agreement about the retailer's future actions. "In the present case, this boundary has been crossed."
Microsoft said that it is willing to comply with German regulations.
"We will use this case as an opportunity to review our internal commercial processes and ensure that we are in full compliance with German law," a Microsoft statement said.
