Palomar College photo students see visions realized
Exhibit opened Friday at Escondido gallery
Tanjuaquio told me he is accepting donations to help cover the cost of a printer, paper and ink, as well as city permits to hold the event on the pier.
As of Friday, the tally stood at $326, with contributions of $5 to $50 coming from local supporters on the event page at www.gofundme.com/umbrella.
The whirlwind portrait session is scheduled from noon until 3 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 16, and participants will find the photographers on the Oceanside Pier.
"We're getting a really big response and we want to be able to take as many photos as we can, so I got a couple of other professional photographers to help out, as well," Tanjuaquio said. "Nowadays, it's expensive for a professional portrait. So it's good to give back to those who can't afford it.
"Pretty much, just show up and we'll take your photo," he added.
New address: With the approach of Christmas in a little more than two weeks, I'm hoping for a few warm holiday stories to tell.
If you have one, please send it my way at email@example.com. (The judges will also accept non-holiday-related items of a humorous, heartwarming or offbeat nature.)

In the movie Udaan, an angry father would beat up his son just because he aspired to be a writer instead of pursuing engineering. But such tyrant fathers may have to be extremely careful in the future if Maneka Gandhi, the Union Cabinet Minister for Women and Child Development has her way. Beating a child, verbally abusing a kid or inflicting any kind of corporal punishment could soon attract a stringent jail term of upto five years. Similarly, college bullies may soon have to mend their ways since cases of ragging could attract a jail term of three years.
The government is in the process of amending the Juvenile Justice Act of 2000 and these are some of the suggestions which the draft bill plans to incorporate in the Act. The new bill tries to ensure that rights of children, often undermined in our society are given their due. The bill has already been circulated for inter-ministerial consultation by Maneka Gandhi.
According to a report in the Indian Express, the definition of "corporal punishment" will be significantly widened in the new law. It shall include physical as well as verbal abuse and if a person is found guilty, the juvenile court can give a jail term of six months for the first offense. For a second and subsequent breach of law, the jail term can be up to three years. In case of serious physical injury and mental trauma, the maximum jail term is five years, according to the draft bill.
If the bill is ratified by the Parliament, India will join an elite club of 40 countries which have adopted a no tolerance policy on corporal punishment by making it a penal offense.
The government also plans to crack the whip on ragging that is prevelant in various colleges and universities. If a person is found guilty, his expulsion from the institution will be compulsory, alongside imprisonment of three years. Often there are instances of college authorities trying to hush up these incidents. The government is also considering making the head of the management of the institution accountable. The person if found guilty of a cover up may be sentenced to a jail term of three years and attract a fine of up to one lakh rupees.
While much discussion has been carried out about the validity of lowering the juvenile age in case of serious crimes, the government also seems to be paying attention to the protection of children by disgruntled parents or teachers in the draft bill.

Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill is closing in on a deal for Middlesbrough fullback Luke Young.
The Sun says O'Neill is also close to landing Middlesbrough right-back Young in a £5m deal. Villa hope to wrap up the England international's signing in time to play in next week's UEFA Cup qualifier against Icelandic side Hafnarfjardur.
O'Neill has been chasing a right-back for over a year and believes Young, 29, fits the bill.
The ex-Charlton and Spurs defender missed training with Boro yesterday sparking speculation that he was on his way.
Young cost £2.5m from Addicks a year ago and was in the England squad for last year's Euro 2008 qualifier against Russia

Liverpool fullback Jon Flanagan has revealed how his Dad is used as example by academy coaches as what NOT to do as a young player.
Jon senior used to clean Kenny DalglishŌĆÖs boots when an apprentice at Liverpool during the '80's.
His son recalled: ŌĆ£I remember Phil Thompson coming into the academy and doing a speech on my dad, saying his attitude was all wrong and all that.
ŌĆ£Dad used to clean KennyŌĆÖs boots but they let him go after his scholarship. He didnŌĆÖt get his pro deal. They brought Wayne Harrison in and then they let my dad go.
ŌĆ£He would have been about 17 or 18. Why didnŌĆÖt he make it? It was just his attitude.
ŌĆ£Phil Thompson was telling us where not to go wrong. And my dad was already helping me out because he knew where he went wrong. That was a great bonus for me.
ŌĆ£He knew where he went wrong and didnŌĆÖt want me to make the same mistakes. You also have to get the attitude right yourself.
ŌĆ£I donŌĆÖt think my dad would mind Phil saying what he did. My dad has told me many stories before so I knew all about that. He lost his dad at a young age and I think he just went off the rails a bit.
ŌĆ£I canŌĆÖt really say what he used to do outside football but with his football his attitude wasnŌĆÖt the best and he just messed it up really.
ŌĆ£When I got my chance it was make or break. I was thinking, ŌĆśItŌĆÖs either my chance to push on or things go horribly wrongŌĆÖ.
ŌĆ£And I would have had to move somewhere else.
ŌĆ£It was about me personally getting in the right frame of mind and not letting this chance go.ŌĆØ

A recent Men's Health article offered seven tips for picking up women on the beach. It also cited an encouraging statistic for lonely Alaska boys: Some 72 percent of women have had a summer fling.
Could these pick-up tips work in the Last Frontier, too? Perhaps if we re-framed the topic and made it all about picking up women at the campground or trail head. Wayne and Wanda weigh in on summer flings and outdoor things.
Tip 1: "Set Your Stage." The Men's Health article suggests guys use solid-colored towels since women "subconsciously associate stripes and patterns with children."
WANDA SAYS: Seriously? Ha. What about leopard print? That does not make me think of children.
WAYNE SAYS: In Alaska, polar bears associate stripes with dinner. Camouflage, however, is a total turn-on for many Alaska men -- if they can see you, that is.
Tip 2: "Meet Her Needs." The tip says men should carry sunscreen, water bottles, sports gear, etc. so he will be a "source of aid and comfort."
WANDA SAYS: Alaska version: Haul around bug spray, Afterbite and maybe duct tape, and a lady might holler. Except -- Alaskan women already carry all this stuff, because we're self-sufficient and awesome. Sorry guys.
WAYNE SAYS: You forgot the Leatherman and blue tarps, Wanda. Boys, with those items and Wanda's duct tape, you can build a lean-to of love for any woman you're trying to win over.
Tip 3: "Go au Naturel." The writer says showered, hair-gelled guys come off desperate -- that 68 percent of women polled prefer confidence to abs.
WANDA SAYS: This tip translates to our tundra and turf perfectly. Alaska men, you don't need to try that hard. Rugged is hot, any time, any place. Rumpled, soft hair makes us want to run our hands through it. And hair gel on the beach? Weird.
WAYNE SAYS: I'm not sure what smells worse: a lonely man's desperation or an Alaska woman's hoodie after three days around the tent, bug spray and campfire.
Tip 4: "Wait Your Turn." Don't butt in when she's relaxing.
WANDA SAYS: So true. Think of it like making a move during a sports game. You don't slam up against a defensive wall. You'll fail for sure. Wait for an opening, then go for it. You might score. Or at least hit the rim.
WAYNE SAYS: Wanda, leave the sports metaphors to the pros. Boys, if you want to hit a home run on the outdoor love front, "accidentally" overthrow your football or Frisbee in a cute lady's direction. Especially if she's relaxing and doesn't see it coming. Totally subtle; works every time.
Tip 5: "Decode Her Bikini." Apparently some lady with a Ph.D. told the author that neon thongs mean women are attention-starved, but those who wear one pieces are "more sophisticated and less frivolous."
WANDA SAYS: That is totally why I wear a one piece.
WAYNE SAYS: That is totally why I wear a thong.
Tip 6: "Flatter Her Figure." Because, says the author, "Eight out of 10 women said they'd like a compliment about their body"
WANDA SAYS: So you have an 80 percent chance of saying the right thing? Try something relatively harmless to start -- that you like her eyes, or her smile. But don't get too lovey-dovey. You're gunning for a fling, not a ring.
WAYNE SAYS: 80 percent? I like those odds. Better than the 12 percent us boys usually get when approaching strangers. Take Wanda's advice and say whatever you need to say to increase your odds. You can always be yourself later.
Tip 7: "Group-Think." This tip suggests you don't approach a solo female but look for packs of threes or -- if there are guys around -- befriend the dudes before chatting up the chicks.
WANDA SAYS: Don't ignore her too long. She'll read it like you aren't interested at all.
WAYNE SAYS: Befriending dudes? Boring. I find women more susceptible to charm and conversation when they're alone. And if it blows up in your face, fewer people are there to laugh at you.
• Wanda is a wise woman who has loved, lusted and believes in retail therapy. Wayne is a wise guy who has no use for therapy. Send them your questions and thoughts at email@example.com.

Karan Tacker
The one and only fear I have at work is anxiety. I get anxious before a performance or a scene. Not that it lasts for long, just for a fraction of a second but it's there. I want to be free from that.
Siddharth Shukla
What if I wake up one morning and realise that I have forgotten one thing that I love doing the most - acting. This is my biggest fear and I hope such a day never comes in my life.
Manish Paul
Being a part of this industry there is a constant need to look good all the time and sometimes I wish I could get away from it!
Karan Patel
I have a fear of deadlines and emergency shoots. Whenever an emergency shoot comes up I hope some magic happens and it goes away. I wish we didn't have any deadlines to meet and have a ready bank of episodes always!
Neha Marda
I fear early morning shoots. The pain of waking up early and not being able to sleep well with the fear of waking up late! That's scary. I enjoy work and I love my shoots but I would love to have freedom from early morning shoots.
Mohit Malik
It has to be the fear of TRP's (Television Rating Points). If film actors dread Fridays and for TV its Thursdays when the ratings are out. I do feel if we got freedom from it we would be able to work better and give 100 percent and more, than worry about what every week holds for us.
Mona Singh
The fear of falling ill for us TV actors is huge. We shoot every day to keep a bank of episodes as they air every day. As a result, even if we fall ill we have to shoot! I wish we had a coporate life where we could call in sick and have the freedom to not shoot when totally unwell..the deadline sometimes can be killing.
Shashank Vyas
I want freedom from long travelling to set on a daily basis. I wish the set is near my house so I can come home and eat healthy food. I would like to utilise the time in pursuing a creative hobby or learn something new.
Rashami Desai
I want freedom from the fear of not having any time for myself. We actors live on the sets and shoot lots of scenes while working in a daily soap. We are always running short of time and our to-do list is ever increasing. We should get proper weekly off to rejuvenate ourselves. We actors need to have normal life too!
Roopal Tyagi
Working 30-31 days for 12 hours is inhuman. I have been doing this for three years now and my health, skin, hair - everything has suffered. There needs to be discipline in the industry which is a joke right now. Main leads suffer the most. I want freedom from erratic non stop shooting hours and days. A holiday a week is a must.
Vivian Dsena
Avoid doing similar kind of roles. I have the fear of being a repetitive actor. I want freedom to always choose different roles which offer me variety as an artist. Every role I do should have novelty factor.
Divyanka Tripathi
We are always short of time as there are just seven days in week to make six quality episodes. One re-telecast is a stigma on production and entire team. So we are always on a run. 'Dauda dauda bhaaga bhaaga sa' type. Need a system where there's no such fear.
Mouni Roy
My only fear is to not to be physically fit to work someday, especially dancing. I love working so I have a fear of being over-worked.
Mohammed Nazim
I want freedom from the fear of letting my audience down. I don't want them to feel even once that I didn't do the scene properly. I try to be perfect all the time as its their love which makes us stars.
Anita Hassnandani
I want freedom from the fear of unknown. Uncertainty in life and work plagues us all. I want that to be kept behind and want to live my life to the fullest.
Ruslaan Mumtaz
Freedom from late payments. In films, actors get a certain signing amount and then are paid in installments through the shoot but in TV, we get paid only 60 days after the telecast. And the 60 days end up becoming much more than 90 days! I'd like payments on time so that we can at least plan our finances.
Iqbal Khan
I want freedom from crappy dialogues and working seven days of work. Channels should get over the fear of airing unconventional shows and be free from the mindset of 'If we don't do regular stuff it don't work'.

Gaming Performance
Mafia II (CPU and GPU PhysX)
Resolution: 1680x1050
CPU PhysX
, 0xAA/16xAF everything set to medium, Ambient Occlusion on
Resolution: 1680x1050
GPU PhysX
, 0xAA/16xAF everything set to medium, Ambient Occlusion on
Playing this game with a single GTS 450 at 1680x1050 with GPU PhysX enabled shows that while the GTS can handle GPU PhysX, it is hampered in its ability to provide completely playable framerates. Not that this isn't a strong showing, as this does seem like a lot of work for a 128-bit 192 CUDA core equipped video card. With PhysX off the game was very playable, ran smooth and looked great. Something interesting happened while testing GPU PhysX on the EVGA FTW card after my initial runs. I tried a lower resolution (1280x720) and turned all IQ settings to lowest. I also turned AA, AF and Ambient Occlusion off. GPU PhysX was set at medium. The results were almost exactly that of the higher resolution/IQ level (27.5 FPS @ stock speeds, 26.8 when clocked down to reference speeds). I had hoped for an increase in framerate, but as it stood, the higher-IQ/higher resolution settings provided the same results.
Metro 2033
Resolution: 1680x1050
Settings: Preset "Low", AA: 4X, 16xAF
Resolution: 1280x720
Settings: Preset "Low", AA: 4X, 16xAF
It'd be nice if you could easily turn off antialiasing in this game to get some extra performance out of cards like these. Though the game was playable by both cards, some may have objections to having an average framerate in the high twenties. Thankfully this game has a slightly slow pace, so the low-ish framerate doesn't seem to be much of a problem. However, in an effort to get better performance I tried 1280x720 and was rewarded with much smoother gameplay. For what it's worth even at low settings at a lower resolution the game looks great, partially due to the antialiasing being applied.
The EVGA card performed 23% better than the reference unit in this test.
Lost Planet 2 Benchmark
Resolution: 1680x1050
Settings: MSAA 4x, 16xAF, highest settings, DirectX 11 features "medium"
This turned into more of a torture test than a gaming benchmark. Obviously at these settings the game (engine) is not smooth at all. With the EVGA card, I did try some lowered settings. I turned antialiasing off, DX11 effects down to "low" and shadows to medium. Average framerate for test suite A was 42.2 FPS, and the average for test B was 45.5. The game still looked great, so switching a few settings to lower the IQ a little bit really paid off.
Resolution: 1680x1050
Settings: custom benchmark, London Battersea Air track, no opponent cars, all settings at highest, 4xAA/16xAF
Both cards performed great in this game, with the EVGA card performing 8% better.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2
Resolution: 1680x1050
Settings: single player, mission 1, all settings at highest, HBAO on, 4xAA/16xAF, FOV set to "78"
An interesting aside - multiplayer framerates are higher than single player framerates in this game. I enjoyed some multiplayer with both cards and got framerates in the forties as opposed to the thirties I got while testing single player. I did however try some reduced-IQ settings in single player with the EVGA card. With 2xAA instead of 4xAA, I got 39.7 FPS. At 1xAA I got 45.1. Furthermore, while testing mutiplayer I also tried some lower-IQ settings. In a full 24 player Atacama desert Rush map, I got 56.1 FPS with 1xAA (HBAO was still on). And for those of us favoring AA over HBAO, I tested the same gameplay with 4xAA enabled and HBAO off, and got 57.9 fps. Overall, this game is very playable at this resolution with some very small IQ compromises.
Mirror's Edge (with PhysX Enabled)
Resolution: 1680x1050
Settings: 4xAA/16xAF, all settings at highest
I tested an early level in this game in which a lot of glass is broken, both by enemies firing at the player and by the player busting through windows. Both cards handled this game flawlessly, and it was nice seeing this game being played with PhysX enabled (and not requiring a separate card).
Kayne and Lynch 2 Demo
Resolution: 1680x1050
Settings: all settings at highest, SSAO on, 4xAA/16xAF
I don't have any information as to what special effects are used in this game demo, but it is apparent to me that it is pretty system and GPU-intensive. This game was playable at the tested settings, but I'd definitely turn AA off to get some more FPS.
Far Cry 2
Resolution: 1680x1050
Settings: 4xAA/16xAF, Demo(Playback (Demo Ranch)), 1680x1050 (60Hz), D3D10, Fixed Time Step(Yes), Disable Artificial Intelligence(Yes), Full Screen, Anti-Aliasing(4x), VSync(No), Overall Quality(Ultra High), Vegetation(Very High), Shading(Ultra High), Terrain(Ultra High), Geometry(Ultra High), Post FX(High), Texture(Ultra High), Shadow(Ultra High), Ambient(High), Hdr(Yes), Bloom(Yes), Fire(Very High), Physics(Very High), RealTrees(Very High)
Although the Demo ranch playback figures don't look too bad, they're around half of what the GTX 460 could produce at a higher resolution, and the framerate was a bit jerky. I retested time and time again after several restarts with teh same result. Furthermore, these results are lower than the NVIDIA reference results, which either indicate that Far Cry 2 doesn't like my x6 CPU, or there is some sort of problem with my install. I'll be investigating the issue further and will report back ASAP with my findings.
Battlefield 2142
Resolution: 1680x1050
Settings: 4xAA/16xAF, all settings at highest, multiplayer gameplay, full Camp Gibraltar Conquest server
This is an older game that not a lot of people play online any more, but in my opinion represented games that gamers play that are not on the radar any more. Obviously the GTS 450 can handle this game at the highest IQ settings.
Alien Swarm
Resolution: 1680x1050
Settings: 4xAA/16xAF, all settings at highest
A free game available on Steam which uses a new build of the Source Engine, Alien Swarm ran great with both cards. This is another title which probably could be played smoothly at 1920x1080.
Performance Summary:
It is clear that the GTS 450 GPU puts forth a valiant effort to provide acceptable gaming performance at the 1680x1050 resolution, and for the most part it performs great, but in some of the newer titles like Metro 2033, Lost Planet 2 and the Kayne and Lynch 2 demo it has some difficulty in providing high FPS. It looks like in some situations, one might need to switch to a lower resolution, lower game settings, or turn off AA and AF. The 128-bit memory interface and relatively low 192 CUDA core count works as hard as it can to meet NVIDIA's target gaming settings of 1680x1050 with 4xAA and 16xAF, but it appears as though the sweet spot for this GPU might be a little lower, possibly the same resolution with AA and AF turned off. For what it's worth, the results in this review match NVIDIA's reference results for the most part, with the notable exception being Far Cry 2, which for whatever reason performed a bit lower than expected.
Regarding the EVGA GTS 450 FTW Edition, the core and memory speed increases really did give the GTS 450 a noticeable improvement in most games. Furthermore, at the higher speeds the temperature of the core was not much different at these elevated clocks either.

I agree that Frazier is the most likely to make the team out of this group. His versatility makes him a MUCH better candidate than Miles or Sutton to back-up Rolen at 3B. Especially with Rosales gone, this really opens up a spot for him IMO. And, as stated, he can get spot starts at 2B and the OF as well.The sort of 'pencilled in' team is something like this:
C - Hernandez, Hanigan
IF - Votto, Phillips, Cabrera, Rolen plus two of Janish/Miles/Sutton
OF - Bruce, Stubbs, Dickerson, Nix, Balentien
SP - Arroyo, Harang, Cueto, Bailey, Maloney
RP - Cordero, Masset, Rhodes, Burton, Herrera, Owings, Lincoln
I count seven top prospects with a chance to make the team out of spring training.
1. Todd Frazier. of all the prospects i believe he has the best shot to make the team. right if he can beat out Dickerson/Nix/Balentien for ABs in LF he could also play some 2b & 3B. even if he was the RH part of a LF platoon he could still get 400 ABs by playing some infield as well. get him a first baseman's mitt & he could spell Votto as well
2. Juan Francisco. LF seems to be his ultimate destination. he has very little experience here. he also has issues with his well discussed poor plate discipline. this combination seems to indicate a start at AAA
3. Yonder Alonso. i am a bit puzzled over the Reds lack of interest in moving Votto to LF. you would have thought having him work out there for a couple of weeks in the instructional league would have been a good idea. i just can't see Alonso making the squad with neither himself nor Votto having any experience in left field.
4. Chris Heisey. to make the team he has to beat out Balentien as the RH part of a LF platoon. problems with this scenarion. #1 he has zero big league ABs & #2 Balentien is out of options. makes me think Heisey starts in AAA
5. Ardolis Chapman. its asking a lot for him to beat out maloney for the last SP slot. could happen but i think he has to be lights out this spring not to start in AAA or AA (AA is my guess)
6. Travis Wood. Wood's AAA numbers were about the same as Maloney's. Maloney has nothing left to learn in AAA. he has to sink or swim in the bigs. my guess is that Wood spends 1/2 a season in AAA
7. Mike Leake. too soon. half a year in AA & half a year in AAA with a 2011 debut seems reasonable.
Heisey or Francisco would have to really impress to beat out Balentein, who we'd basically lose from the organization if he doesn't make the 25. I'd love to see it happen though. Not sure if Francisco will ever make the adjustments he needs. His couple of PH's and spot starts against Pitt and Houston scrubs in September didn't tell us anything at all. Heisey is the better bet long-term.
Alonso, as I continue to say, is best served as a trading pawn. He can't play D worth a lick, and so his only spot is at 1B, and Votto is penciled in there for the next 10 years IMO. We - again - have a plethora of OF prospects, Heisey, Francisco, Frazier, Dickerson, Stubbs, Dorn. We have Jay Bruce in RF for the next 10 years (unless he flames out), so these guys are all competing for 2 spots. They are all reaching AAA and their "prime ages" - time to trade some of them, along with Alonso, and get some proven ML talent.
Of the Pitching prospects, I'd say don't be surprised to see Mike Leake get the nod. I could see him knocking down the door, he only has to beat out Maloney.
For sure I'd expect him to get some sort of call-up in 2010.
Any combination of injuries, trades because we're sucking, Volquez not making it back, and Leake tearing up minor league hitters, could land him in the rotation anytime after the ASB if you ask me. Definitely bet on him getting a cup of coffee in September in any worse-use-case scenario for him.
Chapman won't be rushed - I believe he has a critical contract date of May 15, so don't look for him to make the opening day roster no-way no-how.
I really see no reason to bring him up at all in 2010. Let him refine and get comfortable with life and and the minor league before you try to rush him to the bigs.


text: Q: How did it feel out there? A: First off, it felt great to be back with a team. Through the pre-draft process, you get so used to doing things on your own or with guys who are training and things like that. But today, it was a real practice. Strap it up with cleats and a helmet back on. It was a great feeling.

CALVI, Corsica – Australian sprinter Simon Gerrans held off a late charge by Peter Sagan to win Monday's hilly third stage of the Tour de France by less than half a wheel.
Belgian rider Jan Bakelants did enough in the sweltering heat to keep the race leader's yellow jersey.
Gerrans looked to have the finish line in sight with about 100 meters to go, though the Slovakian rider put on a late sprint and almost caught him.
But Gerrans dug deep to clinch his second career Tour stage win. Spaniard Jose Joaquin Rojas finished third.
"Sagan is a guy who can often climb with the best climbers and sprint with the best sprinter, so I'm really thrilled to be able to beat such a classy rider," Gerrans said. "I surprised quite a few people a little bit today, including myself."
Gerrans shouldn't be too surprised, though, as he had prepared well.
"This is a stage that I've been targeting for quite some time," he said. "We were down here in Corsica last weekend doing a recon and scouting the finishes and it all paid off today."
Although Gerrans has clinched a stage win on all three Grand Tours, his previous stage win on "Le Tour" was five years ago — when it actually finished in the northern Italian ski resort of Prato Nevoso.
He was slowing up but just managed one last effort to throw his bike forward the way a 100-meter runner would dip for the line.
"I wasn't sure if I had won — a half-wheel length?!" Gerrans said. "All went perfectly well, my team took great care of me after the last climb."
He will also need to thank his countryman and teammate Simon Clarke, who placed himself in the early breakaway.
"It was the team plan. I was brought to the Tour de France to join breakaways, so I made sure I did my job," Clarke said. "I was quite relaxed today and when you're relaxed it means you have good legs."
It was a particularly welcome win for Gerrans' Orica Greenedge team after the confusion of Saturday's first stage, when the team bus was stuck on the finish line and removed moments before the riders arrived.
"We saw the footage," Gerrans said. "You really can't do (anything) but laugh at the situation. (Our driver) did a fantastic job, we are proud of him. He was embarrassed so we felt quite sad for him."
Sagan is in the coveted sprinter's green jersey he is expected to contest with British sprinter Mark Cavendish, who is 49 points behind.

Love the same
Do you love your partner as much now as when you got married?
sometimes I love mine more but other times I don't. I could stab him in the face with a fork.
We will be married 10 yrs in Oct. I hope it is just a phase and I get to love him again.
we're not married.
it waxes and wanes, and that's pretty typical.
I love him more now than when we got married.
Michelle and eight kids
#9 coming this June.
I love him more now...we have learned to respect each other and accept the things we cannot change ;)
My love has just gotten stronger as time has gone by. We've been married for 11 years (together for 14)
More for sure. We have been through a lot in our 10 yrs (together for 16). We've come through it all, and honestly,no one else would put up with our crap.
We're not married yet.
I always love him but I don't always LIKE him if you get my drift.
I love mine so much -
if he was a bit neater and more organized I wouldn't have a blow up on occasion as I do...I knew that about him when I married him - but at times i wish i could bring a dumpster on in...

Dominion Virginia Power Establishes New Toll-Free Customer Service Telephone Number
RICHMOND, Va., March 1 /PRNewswire/ — Dominion Virginia Power has established a new, easy-to-remember customer service telephone number: 1-866-DOM-HELP.
"We believe this new toll-free number will be much easier for everyone to remember than our former one," said Paul Koonce, chief executive officer of Dominion Virginia Power. "Our customers have told us they do not want to search for our number, especially in lights-out situations. Establishing this new number is just one more way we hope to make it easier for customers to reach us."
Dominion Virginia Power, with 2.4 million customers, receives about 7 million calls per year, many during major storm and lights-out situations. For example, the company received more than 268,000 calls during the recent historic winter storm.
The new 1-866-DOM-HELP number (1-866-366-4357) is active. The original number, 1-888-667-3000, will remain active as well. Users of handheld devices, such as BlackBerry, should refer to the owner's handbook for instructions on how to dial vanity numbers such as this.
The company will be informing people about the new customer service number in several different ways, including customer bills, bill inserts, customer newsletters, news media reports and on-hold messaging when customers call the original company number.
Customers may want to program the new number into their telephone's speed dial memory, especially if they use a cell phone as their home phone.
It is important to ensure your home phone number or cell phone number — if you use that as a home phone — is registered with the company. The company's automated phone system links incoming calls to the customer's service address to speed outage reporting and customer service.
Customers can register their phone numbers online at www.dom.com (keyword: manage your account) or by calling the company and speaking with a customer care associate. Only one phone number per customer can be registered.
The new, easier-to-remember number follows other improvements the company has made to improve customer service. These include providing more information about power outages, energy efficiency and individual customer usage patterns through the company's Web site, www.dom.com. Customers also give the company high marks for offering flexible payment options and being solutions-oriented when customers call.
"Our goal is to be here and to help when you need us," Koonce said. "That's why we chose this new number. We believe customers will find 1-866-DOM-HELP easy to remember and easy to use."
Dominion (NYSE: D) is one of the nation's largest producers and transporters of energy, with a portfolio of more than 27,500 megawatts of generation. Dominion operates the nation's largest natural gas storage system and serves retail energy customers in 12 states. For more information about Dominion, visit the company's Web site at www.dom.com

ClassicsOnline Home » PIZZINI: Al Piemonte / Il poema delle Dolomiti / Grotte di Postumia / Strapaese (Pizzini) (1955-1956)
The Italian composer Carlo Alberto Pizzini studied composition with Ottorino Respighi. He wrote in almost every form, from chamber music through music for choir, orchestra and band to incidental music for theatre, television and films. As a conductor he gave concerts all over the world, usually including his own compositions. This recording features a number of Pizzini's most important orchestral works. The symphonic poem Al Piemonte was inspired by the history, the natural beauty and the famously zealous work-ethic of the Piedmont region of northern Italy, where the Roman-born Pizzini lived and worked for many years. When Respighi saw his young pupil's score for Il poema delle Dolomiti he scribbled on it 'Bravo!', adding: 'They'll say to you what they said to me at Carnegie Hall in New York after they played Pines of Rome: 'Compliments to you and to the roof!' (because it had withstood the huge battery of sound).
By David Denton
Carlo Alberto Pizzini (1905 – 1981)
Orchestral Works
Carlo Alberto Pizzini was born in Rome on 22 March 1905 and studied composition with Ottorino Respighi. He graduated from the Bologna Conservatory in 1929.
At the age of only nineteen Pizzini founded the 'Concerts for the musical education of students' in Rome, with support from the Ministry of Education. Between 1932 and 1937 he was a Music Inspector for the Italian Authors' and Publishers' Society (SIAE), which made him an honorary distinguished member in 1954. From 1938 to 1970 he had an executive position at Italian Radio and Television (RAI). The Accademia of Santa Cecilia, the famous musical society and concert organisation in Rome, elected Pizzini to its ranks in 1942, and he served as its Vice President from 1973 until his death. In 1967 Pizzini was elected to the Philharmonic Academy of Bologna, an honour he said was especially important to him because two centuries earlier the Bologna society had conferred the same distinction on Mozart.
Pizzini represented RAI and the Accademia of Santa Cecilia on the juries of prestigious international competitions and at the Council of Europe in Strasbourg. As a conductor he gave concerts all over the world, usually featuring his own compositions. He wrote in almost every form, from chamber music through music for choir, orchestra and band to incidental music for theatre, television and films. Pizzini's works have been performed by famous conductors such as Jean Martinon, Bernardo Molinari and (with the Berlin Philharmonic) Carl Schuricht; and by leading musical institutions in Italy – including the Augusteo in Rome, La Scala Milan, the Fenice theatre in Venice and Parma's Teatro Regio – as well as those across the world: from Montreal to Tokyo via Carnegie Hall in New York, the Salzburg Mozarteum, and the Odeon of Herodes in Athens.
Among other honours, Pizzini was made a Cavaliere di Gran Croce in the Italian order of merit and a Chevalier of the French Légion d'honneur, and was awarded the Cross of Merit by the (then) German Federal Republic.
Carlo Alberto Pizzini died in Rome on 8 September 1981. In 1995 his native city named a road after him.
Al Piemonte ('To Piedmont', 1940)
The symphonic triptych Al Piemonte was inspired by the history, the natural beauty and the famously zealous work-ethic of the Piedmont region of northern Italy, where the Roman-born Pizzini lived and worked for many years. The aspects of Piedmont that most appealed to Pizzini – the great aspirations, struggles and glories of its history; the grandeur of its mountains and valleys; and the vigour of the people, especially soldiers and tireless workers in field and factory – are reflected in the three sections of the music:
Insegne gloriose ('Banners of glory')
The work opens with a joyful theme for trumpets and trombones. The cyclic return of this theme, in whole or in part, spreads its character across all three movements: it insinuates itself like a tender memory or allusion amid the ecstasy aroused by the alpine landscape, and at the end it unites with the hymn of praise to Fiat workers. Besides this theme, the dominant features of the first movement are a sequence of broad melodic gestures and an episode in march tempo.
Notturno sulle Alpi ('Alpine nocturne')
Here the main element is the opening melody sung by a solo cello, which fuses with other melodic shapes from the clarinet and strings, and returns after a crescendo, impassioned, on high trumpets. At the end the atmosphere is transfigured, as thematic fragments characteristic of the Nocturne are sung by clarinet, then oboe, strings and finally a high solo violin.
Macchine e cuori (La Fiat) ('Cars and hearts (Fiat)')[Note 1]
The third part begins with insistent pounding major seconds on the double basses, to which the trombones soon add a sequence of dissonant chords. A powerful phrase emerges which is said to reflect the straightforward nature, muscular strength and tenacity of the farm labourer. Chromatic scales on high-pitched instruments and strings excite giddy sensations of feverish energy. Towards the end the multicoloured activity of the factory generates singing lines: the 'muscular' phrase is joined by the initial theme of the triptych in a final apotheosis.
Scherzo in stile classico ('Scherzo in classical style', 1931)
When Pizzini was attending Respighi's Advanced Composition course at the Santa Cecilia Conservatory in Rome, one of his exercises was to compose a Symphony in C minor. To Respighi's astonishment, not to say incredulity, Pizzini produced the Symphony in just two days! Respighi suggested that Pizzini include the third movement, this Scherzo 'in classical style', in a radio concert he had been invited to conduct, in Milan on 17 November 1931. It is easy to deduce from this music that young Pizzini was a devout admirer of composers of the romantic period, above all Beethoven and Schubert.
The following note appears at the head of the orchestral score:
Risveglio nel sole ('Awakening in the sun')
At dawn the towering Dolomite mountain massif stands like a majestic cathedral, seeming to rise up from the shadow of darkness so that its lofty spires shine radiant in the glory of the sun. Praterie fiorite ('Flower-filled meadows') Peace is over everything: emerald-green pastures, shady and scented pinewoods; amid the calls of shepherds, the ardent song of life arises, before the magical quiet returns.
Il lago di Carezza ('The lake of Carezza')
The waters of the enchanted lake are sparkling. Is it the myriad jewels hidden in the depths, or the rainbow dissolved in the lake by the sorcerer of the Latemar? [Note 2] The highest pines are alive with goblins and sprites: the Carezza fairy sings.
Tofàne eroiche ('The heroic Tofàne')[Note 3]: warlike trumpet blasts and volleys of bullets as the combat rages. The crags seem to be bathed in the blood of heroes. Fanfares of victory rise above the roar of battle: the epic chorus of the sacrificed unites with the mountains' hymn of hosannas to God.»
Risveglio nel sole ('Awakening in the sun')

Praterie fiorite ('Flower-filled meadows') Peace is over everything: emerald-green pastures, shady and scented pinewoods; amid the calls of shepherds, the ardent song of life arises, before the magical quiet returns.

Fanfares of victory rise above the roar of battle: the epic chorus of the sacrificed unites with the mountains' hymn of hosannas to God.»
In the composer's imagination, the spectacular natural beauty of the Dolomites mingles with memories of heroic Italian wartime exploits. So in the first part the sun's exaltation of the summits is fused musically with an evocation of the trumpet blasts of a victorious army, and the transition to the second part has another fleeting allusion to war, hinting at the martial rhythms of a phalanx of soldiers. The serenely pastoral melody of the second part, introduced by the cor anglais, returns in the final part in a more violent, energetic and warlike form.
The third part, which has the character of a Scherzo, is inspired by the poetry of the landscape and the legends attributed to it in the popular imagination. It suggests the gigantic mountains and the rainbow-hued glittering of the waters in which they are mirrored; while a grotesque bassoon theme portrays the sorcerer of the Latemar. Legend has it that he conjured up a wonderful rainbow in a vain attempt to lure into his clutches the surpassingly beautiful nymph of the Carezza lake, and then, in fury at being spurned, hurled the rainbow into the watery depths.
Alongside the transformation of the cor anglais theme in the final part, another fundamental element of the composition is the basic theme of the opening part, first heard on the bass clarinet. This recurs in various guises, metamorphosed rhythmically and melodically, in the symphonic development of each of the other parts, matching itself to their expressive character – right up to the triumphal conclusion, a fortissimo peroration in E flat major. At the end of his young pupil's score, Respighi scribbled 'Bravo!', adding: 'They'll say to you what they said to me at Carnegie Hall in New York after they played Pines of Rome: «Compliments to you and to the roof!»' (because it had withstood the huge battery of sound).
This piece originated as a Prelude in A minor for string quartet, to which Pizzini later added a part for double bass. There is also a transcription for organ by Ferruccio Vignanelli.
A divertimento for orchestra in the form of eleven variations on a theme: (1) The cathedral; (2) The ruined castle; (3) The fish; (4) Hell; (5) The mail-coach; (6) Field tent; (7) Madonna and Child; (8) Moslem cemetery; (9) The dwarf; (10) Ballroom; (11) Gothic cathedral.
Composed at the request of the conductor Angelo Questa, Grotte di Postumia was premièred by him with the Orchestra of the Accademia of Santa Cecilia in Rome on 28 December 1941. The work was inspired by a trip the composer made to the caves of Postumia north of the Istrian peninsula, when the region was part of Italy. By the Paris Treaty of 1947 Istria was included in Yugoslavia, and Postumia is now Postojna in Slovenia. Visitor access to the vast and fascinating cave system is by means of a little train, with seats in small open carriages. The train crosses various galleries where the stalactites and stalagmites have over the centuries created shapes that conjure up fabulous scenes and objects.
The theme, introduced by the bass clarinet and taken up by the cellos and bassoon, evokes the enchanted domain of the caves, and it is then elaborated rhythmically and timbrally in a series of variations depicting the different sights. The theme becomes ceremonial in the first variation, 'The cathedral'; slow in the second, 'The ruined castle'; and barcarole-like in the third, 'The fish'. 'Hell', the fourth variation, is highly dramatic; while the trotting rhythm of the fifth, 'The mail-coach', is pointed up by the horses' harness bells and the call of the post-horn. The mood turns military in the sixth variation, 'Field tent'; pastoral in the seventh, 'Madonna and Child'; and oriental in the eighth, 'Moslem cemetery', with ornate decorations on oboe and clarinet. After the scurrying 'Dwarf' of the ninth variation, the alto saxophone leads a waltz in the 'Ballroom'; before in the eleventh and final variation the theme attains the majestic solemnity of the 'Gothic cathedral'.
This is an impression of the feast-day of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, 15 August, in the province of Lazio – to be precise, the small town of Gerano not far inland from Rome, near the larger and better-known Subiaco.
At dawn on the day of the festival – in a 'joyous Allegro' – a drummer does the rounds, beating the traditional reveille. The villagers gather, awaiting the return of those who have made the pilgrimage to the shrine of the Virgin. When the procession of pilgrims reaches the main square, it is welcomed by the village band and everyone joins in the celebration, with joyful songs, fireworks and dancing the saltarello.[Note 4]
The music translates vivid visual impressions of the festival in an almost photographically descriptive way, drawing kaleidoscopic new timbres from the orchestra. Pizzini even featured an accordion – probably the first Italian composer to do so in a purely orchestral work.[Note 5]
He also experimented, boldly but level-headedly, with the idea of superimposing music in different keys, feeling that traditional tonality was too limited, but that the terrain of atonality (from which he always kept his distance) offered too bumpy a ride.
A curious fact: Respighi was particularly fond of this short piece (after hearing it for the first time he said to Pizzini, "Call it Strapaese!")[Note 6], so much so that he cut short a visit to Toscanini near Siena in order to be at the first performance, given by Rome Radio on 30 June 1933.

[1] 'Macchine' in fact means both cars and machines, which makes it ideally suited to refer to the famous car manufacturer Fiat – Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino (the Italian Automobile Factory of Turin, the chief city of Piedmont). The name Fiat itself has a double connotation – it means 'So be it' in Latin.

[5] The only Italian precedent seems to be Umberto Giordano's opera Fedora, completed in 1898, whose third act introduces a Swiss shepherd boy with an (onstage) accordion.
[6] 'Strapaese' ('Ultra-localism') was a cultural movement associated with Italian fascism in the 1930s: it extolled Catholicism and the rural way of life as 'traditional Italian values' – rejecting new ideas, especially ones from outside Italy, which were embraced by the opposing 'Stracittà' ('Ultra-urbanness') movement.

Anheuser-Busch's new cookbook pairs foods and beer
Port and Stilton. Champagne and strawberries. Porter and biscotti?
Just when you might have thought you were getting a handle on the whole wine-and-food-pairing thing, along comes Anheuser-Busch, putting its considerable promotional prowess behind the pairing of foods with beer. Late last year, it even published a cookbook: "Great Food, Great Beer" (Sunset, $24.95; paperback), a compendium of 185 recipes, some to pair with beers and some that also include beer in their ingredients.
The idea certainly isn't new. Anheuser-Busch has archives of sales material dating to the turn of the 20th century advocating beer and food pairings. Those archives also contain a cookbook the company published in the 1950s.
More recently, the idea of beer and food pairing got considerable attention after the 2003 publication of "The Brewmaster's Table: Discovering the Pleasures of Real Beer With Real Food." That book, by Garrett Oliver, brewmaster of the acclaimed independent microbrewery the Brooklyn Brewery, caught the attention of professional and home cooks and is considered one of the seminal works for pairing food with beer.
But with the Clydesdales now pulling the bandwagon for beer-and-food pairing, the concept is likely to get a much wider airing.
Two of the key players in the development of the cookbook were Sam Niemann, an executive chef at company headquarters, and George Reisch, whose formal titles are brewmaster and "corporate am-bassador."
Reisch is the fifth generation of a family that ran a brewery in Springfield, Ill., and he earned a degree in food chemistry before eventually joining A-B. With that background, he can easily and articulately describe the scientific basis for some of the pairings.
"A Munich malt (used in Maerzen beers, a caramelized malty style that gets its name from its traditional March production date) smells and tastes like the crust of bread," Reisch said. "Why is it paired with sausages? Well, it's like a sandwich."
Recipes and pairing ideas also were developed by executive chef Brent Wertz of the company's Kingsmill Resort and Spa in Williamsburg, Va. The historical photos and graphics in the book were collected by Tracy Lauer, the senior manager and curator of collections in Anheuser-Busch's St. Louis-based archives.
The new cookbook has many of the expected beer-as-ingredient and beer-friendly recipes, such as chicken wings, pigs-in-blankets and beer soup. But many others are sophisticated and international, in part reflecting A-B's growing partnerships with brands such as Grolsch, Harbin, Kirin and Tiger.
Perhaps most surprising, "Great Food, Great Beer" has 17 recipes for desserts.
"I personally think that the next 10 years are going to see huge growth in beer-and-dessert pairings," Reisch said. One reason, he said, is a recognition of the taste profiles of certain beers and their affinity for desserts.
An example is porter, whose malted barley is roasted much in the way coffee is roasted, resulting in a beer with similarities to coffee. The cookbook offers four recipes for desserts to pair with porters.
But Anheuser-Busch is well-known for marketing savvy, and on the restaurant side, the promotion of beer-and-dessert pairings has a solid business basis.
"They raise the average check," Reisch said. That gives servers an incentive to talk about them — and to sell more beer.
And selling more beer is why a company whose primary business is beer would put out a cookbook, but it doesn't detract from the quality and diversity of the recipes in the book.
The opening of the book is also an excellent quick course in identifying, pouring, tasting and pairing foods with beer.
"Great Food, Great Beer" has already reached a mass market — it was released in time for holiday shopping, exclusively in warehouse-club retailers like Sam's and Costco. It hit traditional bookstores in January, giving home cooks an easy point of reference for designing courses that are paired with something besides the traditional glass of wine.
Creamy Lager and Jalapeño Soup
2 tablespoons butter
3 jalapeño chiles, finely chopped (see note)
medium to large onion, chopped
1 carrot, peeled and grated
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 cups American-style lager beer
2 cups chicken stock
3/4 cup half-and-half
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded and divided, optional
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat. When foam subsides, stir in jalapeños, onion and carrot. Cook, stirring often, until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle in flour; cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Pour beer and stock into pan in slow, steady streams, whisking constantly. Bring just to a boil, then immediately reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Strain through a fine-meshed sieve placed over a bowl.
Transfer solids and about 1/2 cup of the liquid to a blender or food processor; process to a smooth puree. Return puree to saucepan. Stir in remaining strained liquid; cook until hot over medium-low heat. Pour in half-and-half, stirring well until mixed and heated through. Remove from heat; stir in cilantro and salt.
Ladle the soup into six bowls and sprinkle each serving with 1/4 cup cheese.

— Recipe from chef Sam Niemann, Anheuser-Busch
Orange-olive Chicken Scaloppine
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
5 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1/3 cup slivered almonds or whole pine nuts
1/4 cup shallots, chopped
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 teaspoon orange zest, grated (colored portion of peel)
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives
1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
Orange wedges, for garnish
Rinse chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Place each piece between 2 sheets of waxed paper. Using a rolling pin or the flat side of a meat mallet, lightly pound each breast until about 1/4-inch thick. Sprinkle both sides of each breast with salt and pepper to taste, then place the breasts in a large zip-top plastic bag. Pour in buttermilk, seal bag and marinate in refrigerator for 2 hours, turning bag occasionally.
Remove chicken from bag; discard marinade. Pat chicken dry with paper towels.
Spread flour in a shallow bowl. Dredge chicken in flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat 3 teaspoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, turning once, until opaque throughout, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer chicken to a serving platter and keep warm.
In same skillet, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium heat. Add nuts, stirring until golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer nuts to a plate.
In same skillet, heat remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add shallots, stirring until softened, about 2 minutes. Add stock, orange zest, orange juice and olives, stirring until mixture comes to a boil. Let boil, stirring occasionally, until liquid is slightly reduced, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
Spoon sauce over chicken. Sprinkle with nuts and parsley, then correct seasonings to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with orange wedges. Serve paired with a wheat beer.
Makes 4 servings.

Wherever possible, a Thane resident ensured that his belongings and assets ended with the number 52. His mobile number, two-wheeler and four-wheeler plates had the same number. He even stays in flat No 502.
That was till recently. Now, the member of the Dawoodi Bohra community plans to have '53' in all his new acquisitions. He is contemplating changing his phone number and intends to buy cars and two-wheelers with 53 as the last two digits on their number plates.
Fifty-three is now considered a lucky and auspicious number by the Dawoodi Bohra community. This is in response to Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin becoming the 53rd Dai-al-Matlaq of the community following the demise of the 52nd Dai, Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin, in January.
"We consider it an auspicious number because we are led by the 53rd Dai," said a member of the community on condition of anonymity. To highlight the significance of the number, 53,000 coconuts were offered at the mausoleum of Syedna Burhanuddin at the end of the mourning period on February 26.
The Dawoodi Bohras are making sure '53' is promoted in every possible way. For instance, donations are being offered in the figure of 53 and the community plans to send 53 people for Haj pilgrimage this year.
Some others are looking at having phone numbers ending with 53 and vehicles with the same number.
The community leaders, too, are highlighting 53 as the new lucky number. "Yes, of course, it is," a practising Dawoodi Bohra told dna. Some members, however, do not openly accept this, but the obsession with 53 is hard to ignore. "The important thing is our unconditional love towards our moula. Anything related to our moula is lucky and we take it as barakaat (blessing), including the number," said another Dawoodi Bohra from Mazgaon.
Recently, on the eve of the late Syedna's birth anniversary, a procession was carried out to commemorate his life. One-hundred-and-three groups participated in the procession. Each group comprised 52 members from the community with another person (the 53rd) being the flag bearer. The number 52 signified Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin's incumbency as the 52nd Dai-al-Matlaq. The number 53 represented the incumbency of Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin as the 53rd Dai al-Matlaq.

Shelf is self explanatory. The end cap was removed with three screws. The most difficult part was the removal of the temp controls, not really that hard, and putting them back in the new endcap. The drawer slide had to be transferred as well and then the three screws went back in and I'm back in business.

"The Jewel of the Free State" Clarens by cleocat
Clarens Travel Guide: 31 reviews and 58 photos
Visiting the Free State is not very high on many tourist's itineraries.
It's very cold in winter and quite hot in summer. Though the summer seems to be shorter than in the other SA provinces. If you ever in the area it is worthwhile making a stop in Clarens. It is named after the Swiss town Clarens.
It is a small town where you will still find some dirt roads in the residential areas. A few years ago a house would have cost you next to nothing but today you are looking at a million plus.
It's a four hour drive from Gauteng and alot of Gautengers bought weekend houses.
The tranquil atmosphere, great restaurants, 4x4 tracks and tons of artist's shops and galleries lure the
city dwellers.
- Pros:Scenery; tranquil; art; crafts;
- Cons:It's cold in the winter
- In a nutshell:Clarens stole my heart

We had a fantastic meal at the Post House - great value for money. They are also open at night.
We stopped at Clarins for lunch, a visit to the craft market and some gallery browsing - what a pretty little town it is. I bought some lovely silver knives that I use all the time - the best sort of souvenir. leyle
I think I would mix and match… a hamburger from Red Mountain and a milkshake from Moerdyk's.
Clarens looks like quite an interesting little spot - even if prices have climbed steeply in recent years! I guess the closest I came was while in Royal Natal park!
Hi Annette! Sounds like a great coffeehouse! Hope you enjoy yourself with the kids today!
Clarens is a hidden gem. The art and craft is gorgeous. It's small but characterful. I have no pics of it hence no page on it. Thx for yours! Hubby was at Ladybrand in the army close by, knows it well :)
driven by, but ruddy yskoud in winter ;-)))

Jeremy Bilding and Ashland Reker
Back by popular demand are fan favorites Jeremy Bilding and Ashland Reker. They just got finished with their afternoon workout but the real workout is only just beginning. Not a word is said as they start to kiss each other and then undress. Both men are in impeccable shape and slowly caress and lick each others ripped bodies. After a little 69 action Ashland is ready to be fucked and Jeremy begins pounding away in no time. They both pop on Ash's ripped abs, drenched in sweat and cum.

What if you were a Jedi and didn't know it? That's the concept behind the latest reveal for Star Wars Rebels, which introduced one of its main characters today.

Got Questions? We've got answers from experts and parents who've been there.
You're not alone -- up to 80 percent of pregnant women experience nausea and vomiting early in pregnancy. But how severe symptoms are or how long they last varies from woman to woman. Some women may feel a queasiness that comes and goes, while others may feel sick enough to run to the bathroom a few times throughout the day. But take comfort in the fact that most women start to feel much better by week 16. Only a small number -- around 10 percent of moms-to-be -- may have upset stomachs all pregnancy long. If your morning sickness isn't letting up, let your doctor know. There are certain medications that can help you feel better, if natural remedies like ginger candy or a vitamin B6 supplement haven't helped.
In the meantime, be prepared and plan accordingly. Schedule meetings or presentations at work during times when you tend to feel your best, and avoid taking any vacations or big day trips for now. Stocking your purse with mints or gum, baby wipes, and an extra plastic bag can help you bounce back from sudden symptoms, wherever they may strike.

Just as most web designers take a 'design-first' approach to their projects, we're going to cover the visual side of creating a mobile-optimized email newsletter in this guide, before going elbows-deep into coding. This will help you make informed decisions when next planning an email newsletter, plus make it that much easier to conceptualize the techniques we'll be discussing later on.
We've already started talking about responsive email design. If you're familiar with the use of this term in the context of the web, then you'll be pleased to know that we'll be using the same concepts and techniques here for email. If things like 'adaptive layouts' are new to you, I highly recommend reading this primer by 'A List Apart'.
The skinny is that we'll be designing two CSS layouts of the same newsletter - one layout that looks great in webmail and desktop clients, plus another layout that can be easily read on the smaller screens of mobile devices. For example, here's an HTML email in Outlook:
Below is the same email, only this time viewed in Apple's iPhone Mail. As you can see, there are significant differences between the two layouts. The mobile version is skinnier, lacks visual clutter and is just as readable as the desktop version. This can be attributed to the use of mobile-specific CSS:
As a point of comparison, the right image is the same newsletter, without this stylesheet. See how tiny and unreadable the text is? Well, that's the problem that faces millions of email newsletters received on mobile devices, everyday.
Designing for mobile isn't simply a matter of taking a crack at writing mobile-specific CSS. Other things to consider are:
When mocking up an HTML email or template, our advice is to create two sketches or wireframes - one of the desktop/webmail layout and one of the mobile layout. Keep in mind where your call to action (CTA), such as 'View deal' appears on both - is it immediately visible when the email is opened? Or does the recipient have to scroll in order to see it?

The Toronto Blue Jays signed infielder Mark DeRosa to a one-year, $750,000 contract, the team announced Tuesday. The deal includes a 2014 team option at the same rate. DeRosa, who turns 38 in February, has played a number of positions. He appeared in 48 games for the Washington Nationals in 2012, batting .188 in 101 plate appearances and playing every infield position and both corner outfield positions. In 15 major-league seasons, DeRosa has batted .270 with 93 career home runs. To make room on the roster, the Blue Jays designated right-hander Sam Dyson for assignment. The 24-year-old made his MLB debut in 2012, appearing in two games.
