It is fitting that this year Earth Day [6] falls on Good Friday and that three days later the greatest dawn since the beginning of time is celebrated. To those who claim that the Earth and the life on it are disposable -- or that God cares only about altar calls and that God has no time for the call of whales -- Easter Sunday reminds us of something quite different. God is the author of all life. It pleased God to take the form of humanity and to dwell among us. Christ came to pay a ransom and redeem us. Christ reminded us that God notices every time a sparrow falls from the sky. God is that kind of God -- no less.
In the fullness of time, God will choose to sound the last trumpet. A theology that says we should force God's hand by wanton greed or negligence seems dangerous at best. Easter marks the day when all creation held its breath to see the firstborn, the new Adam, the Messiah. This Easter, let us renew our commitment to love our neighbors with extravagance and to care for the gift of God: the Earth. Let us remember that Mary did not mistake Christ for a soldier or even a Rabbi on Easter morning, but rather a gardener.
Last year, our nonprofit organization Blessed Earth [7] celebrated the 40th anniversary of Earth Day by hosting a simulcast event at Northland, A Church Distributed in Orlando, Florida. More than 2,200 groups from 50 states and 45 countries participated.
This year we are marking the day at the National Cathedral in Washington D.C. -- "the nation's church" and the sixth largest cathedral in the world. Since President Teddy Roosevelt attended the laying of the cornerstone in 1907, the Cathedral has been a force in binding us together as one nation under God. Its gothic arches echo with the beauty of a people who bow their heads at the funerals of presidents and inaugurations of its leaders. It is the church in which the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his last Sunday service.
To be invited to share a sermon at the National Cathedral is a great and humbling honor. I will be reflecting on Earth Day in light of Psalm 24 [8]. This Earth Day and Good Friday, let us declare that "The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it."
Matthew Sleeth, MD, a former emergency room director and chief-of-staff is author of Serve God, Save the Planet [9] and co-editor of The Green Bible [10]. He co-founder of the faith-based educational nonprofit, Blessed Earth. Video of his sermon at the National Cathedral and a live-audience Q&A is available on the Blessed Earth website [11], as well as suggestions on help make Earth Day a Church Day in your community.

He nearly cost me my trip to Daytona about 4 years ago. I sent him my seat from my Guzzi about 3 months before I was to leave. He said it would be plenty of time. As you might guess, time went on and on, phone call and emails unanswered, promises broken and dates not met. I finally got hold of him two days before I was to leave and give him an ear full. He overnighted my seat to me, that he had taken the stock cover off of and had done nothing to it. I had to ride to Daytona on my stock seat, bare foam. He already had my money and was not interested in a refund. I went with him because he was about $150 cheaper than most of the competition. Bad idea. Beware of Rick Mayer Saddles.

"I found this invitation to be of high quality and very elegant looking. I had the designer review done and I think that really helped - so tough to really know what something will look like online. The designer was also able to increase the font size beyond what the user can do online. Overall my invites looked great!"
"This card was for my parents 50th anniversary party. I used three current photos and three photos from their wedding with the upgraded paper and it was a beautiful invitation. When people called to RSVP for the party almost all commented on the card and the design. The black with the gold swirls gave it a fantastic flair."
"The invitations were easy to set up and the preview feature made it easy to visualize the finished product. We received the invitations in 3 days and they are absolutely beautiful! I will be a repeat customer. Thank you!"
"I ordered this invitation with the rounded edges and signature matte and it came out perfect! I am so impressed with the quality and the entire look of it. Very nostalgic and authentic. Not only did my order come out perfectly, but I ordered rush delivery and I received it faster than the expected delivery date. I ordered on Saturday night and had them in my hand by Tuesday!!! Definitely worth paying for the rush delivery if you're short on time. I was also contacted within 24 hours to make a couple corrections. So happy and will use tinyprints for everything now! Thank you!"
"I wish there could have been a little more room for personal info but this was the only card with this design and it was perfect. The color choices worked well with our photo. I used this card for a save the date for an anniversary party for out of town invitees."

Earlier this week, I wrote extensively about the Passenger Communications Coalition, a group of stakeholders – including AeroMobile and OnAir – whose goal is to convince Congress not to pass the "Hang Up Act", which is intended to outlaw the use of in-flight mobile phones for voice communications.

GARDEN GROVE – He sat quietly on the sofa at first, petting the Weisenberger family's black Labrador retriever, while Kerri Weisenberger passed out presents to her husband and grown children.
Occasionally the 24-year-old Iranian refugee, who goes by the nickname Soheil, would chime in with a question. Mostly, he wanted to sit in silence and soak up the experience.
Just seven weeks ago, Soheil was sitting in Los Angeles International Airport, scared, alone, afraid to speak English.
On Wednesday, his 51st day in America, the Christian convert sat surrounded by new friends celebrating a day of firsts: His first sticky buns, first shrimp scampi, first-ever Christmas party.
Then Weisenberger plucked a small box wrapped in blue-and-white paper from the pile of presents and passed it to her guest.
"Oh wow," he said, giggling as he reached out to accept his first Christmas present. "What is this?"
• • •
Soheil was a university student in Tehran when the Green Revolution erupted in Iran in 2009.
Like many of his friends, Soheil joined the protests that followed Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's re-election.
In the wake of the unrest, Soheil said, he was kicked out of the university and banned from enrolling in another university for 10 years. He was also blocked from obtaining everyday essentials such as a bank account or an ATM card.
(Because of concerns from Soheil and World Relief of Garden Grove about the security of Soheil's family in Iran, the Register is using only his nickname in this story.)
At first Soheil tried to beg for forgiveness, going to the university and various government offices to ask them to let him back into school.
"I said to government, to university, to police, 'Let me try again,' " Soheil said. " 'Forget it. I'm sorry.' "
When that failed, he decided to find a way to leave Iran.
It took more than a year, but Soheil obtained a passport and headed first to Turkey on a tourist visa.
He arrived in Turkey with $200 in his pocket, and was down to $5 when he found an under-the-table job as a photographer.

Any version of the EV Outlook Add-in > 9.0.1 will work for you. The best bet is to grab the 10.0.3 Cumulative Hotfix 1 files from:
which links to:
Of course .. it will need EV 9 or higher on the server, in order for it to be supported.
What version and service pack of EV Server do you run?
Has the latest add-in. 10.0.3 is multi-language, so there is no longer a separate installer per language.

Wisdom of the Desert
Our deserts can bloom! The monastic desert tradition can seem long ago and far away, but contains a wisdom that can both challenge and bring healing to our fragmented society and distracted lives. The goal of the desert fathers, and the less well-known mothers, was continuous prayer. The abbas and the ammas spent their time in lectio divina, reciting the psalms and the breviary, and cultivating the prayer of the heart. We will look at the main features of desert spirituality and seek to slow down, be quiet, listen for the voice of God, and reflect upon how to sustain such a spirituality in our daily lives.
Michael Woodward

On April 2, one day after its Parliamentary by-elections, Burma (Myanmar) floated its currency, the kyat. This is an important first step in normalizing the country's investment climate and curbing corruption. For years, the official kyat exchange rate has been more than 100 times lower than the black market rate, which has led to endless headaches for organizations operating in Burma, as well as for Burmese citizens.
The distortion of the kyat also made it easier to hide corruption. According to Sean Turnell, a leading expert on the Burmese economy, officials recorded revenues at the official exchange rate -- which undervalued them by nearly 200 percent when the black market exchange rate is taken into account -- and spirited away the remainder.
Floating the kyat will slightly enhance transparency, and will decrease the everyday annoyance of conducting business in Burma, but more reforms are needed to address corruption. Transparency International ranks Burma as one of the most corrupt countries in the world, followed only by North Korea and Somalia.
Such corruption certainly affects the business community. A local newspaper recently reported evidence of corruption in six key ministries, including in relation to the awarding of a valuable copper mine concession. Corruption extends well beyond business into many aspects of society, with payments routinely required to obtain passports, good grades, or government jobs. These are minor symptoms of a culture of corruption that has become endemic and will take significant efforts to address.
The Burmese government has begun to publicly acknowledge the prevalence of corruption and the need to address it, but the formula to do so is not clear. A senior Burmese government official noted that petty corruption arises in part due to the gross underpayment of civil servants, which has made it challenging for many to survive without engaging in corrupt practices. One of President Thein Sein's economic advisors added that it will take time to implement fundamental changes that diminish corruption, and highlighted the fact that powerful interests are likely to resist reforms.
In a classic twelve-step self-help program, recognition of the problem is a first step toward solving it. Floating the kyat may actually be step two therefore, with the government's public statements identifying corruption as a significant problem constituting step one. While the government continues -- hopefully -- through steps 3-12, companies and non-governmental organizations that operate in Burma will face significant risks, including potential liability pursuant to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and/or the U.K. Bribery Act, and they should plan accordingly.
For instance, companies that purchase the assets or operations of other businesses should seek to ensure that such rights were not originally obtained fraudulently and should analyze the reputations of their business partners by not only reviewing relevant legal documents, but also by talking to knowledgeable Burmese. Companies should also emphasize their anti-corruption commitments to local employees or contractors and make it clear that business as usual is not acceptable.

AUSTIN -- It was standing room only inside the Department of State Health Services' Criss Cole Rehabilitation Center auditorium, with supporters and opponents of Planned Parenthood each waiting their turn to be heard by state officials in charge of the Texas Women's Health Program.
The majority of those waiting to testify were Planned Parenthood supporters who weighed in on the Texas Legislature's decision to pass a law banning any organization affiliated with an abortion provider from participating in the Medicaid Women's Health Program. The programis designed to offer women's health services including contraceptives and screenings for cancer and sexually-transmitted diseases to around 130,000 low-income Texas women.
The federal government responded by announcing plans to withhold Medicaid dollars responsible for 90 percent of the program's funding, and Texas Governor Rick Perry vowed to continue the roughly $33 million program with state money as the Texas Women's Health Program. In August, a federal court ruled in that Texas can withhold funding from Planned Parenthood pending an October trial.
These thousands of women may have to travel further for a provider and wait longer for appointments, testified State Sen. Kirk Watson (D-Austin), one of several Democratic lawmakers that asked the Texas Department of State Health Services for Tuesday's public hearing.
Planned Parenthood staff and patients from across the state met with media Tuesday morning at the organization's East Austin clinic to voice their concern over the potential loss of women's health services provide by Planned Parenthood, which is already prohibited from using taxpayer money to provide abortion services under current law.
My major concern is that [women] will just simply not be treated, said Brendettae Payne, a former patient from Houston. They will go undiagnosed, which will lead to future medical problems for them, and it will cause a dire impact on women's health care.
Planned Parenthood, when people think about health care, low income, that's where women think to go, said Austin patient Amanda Elmore. I think that they need to take the politics out of it.
It becomes very, very inconvenient and very difficult to find the same level of service elsewhere, said Alexis Lohse of Fort Worth, who says the website recently launched by DSHSto guide patients to Women's Health Program providers hasn't been helpful.
According to my zip code, I find about five providers, said Lohse. They give you this giant list that is, 'Wow, a hundred providers!' Really it's about the same five providers listed over and over at different clinics. There's really actually not that many providers.
Former Brian Planned Parenthood director and current anti-abortion activist Abby Johnson attended the hearing to testify the opposite.
Not only does Planned Parenthood not provide adequate care, but the care that women are receiving is shabby care at best, said Johnson. Not only does Planned Parenthood not need to receive tax money from Texans, but they don't really even need to be seeing Texas women.
There are so many centers in the State of Texas that are able to see women that need access to health care, said Johnson, who contends that other providers would be able to provide more types of care than are offered at Planned Parenthood clinics. Lohse argues that the specific services offered by Planned Parenthood make it possible for working women to get in and out quickly.
These are general health providers. This isn't specific to reproductive health services, said Lohse. This is a place where I'd go, and I'd be in line for hours to see a physician or a nurse practitioner. I'd be there with other sick people. I'd have to take off, take off school.
According to Department of State Health Services spokesperson Stephanie Goodman, Planned Parenthood clinics make up fewer than 40 of the roughly 3,000 providers listed as participating in the Women's Health Program. At the same time, those clinics treat far more women than any other participating provider.
That's still a concern, said Goodman. We have been trying to get more providers in. That number 3,000 is up about 500 over several months ago, so we think we're doing a good job of getting more providers in, working with them and making sure they're ready to take on more patients.
Despite the public hearing, the department has to implement the law, yet it may have some flexibility in exactly how it does so. Some in the health care industry have voiced concern over language in the law preventing doctors participating in the Texas Women's Health Program from even discussing abortions with their patients.
We don't want to get in the middle of that doctor-patient relationship, so we may be able to adjust the wording some to address those concerns, said Goodman. But in terms of the basic heart of the law: Can abortion providers and affiliates be part of the program? That we have no discretion over.
According to DSHS, running the program will cost Texas nearly $40 million in 2013. Through measures such as a reduction in overtime and an administrative hiring freeze, Goodman says the program will be fully funded within the department's existing budget. The cost of the program beyond 2013 will largely depend on Texas' plans regarding the Medicaid expansion component of the Affordable Care Act passed under President Barack Obama.
Planned Parenthood health centers haven't changed, but the politics around women's health have absolutely changed, said Sarah Wheat with Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas. In the meantime, we will continue to be a voice for our clients and look at all of our options to see what we can do to make sure our health centers can stay open and continue to provide these vital services.
It's not okay. It's simply un-American, because this country was built on freedom of choice, said Payne. For you to decide as a legislator to make the choice for my health care, that's a problem.
With heavy donations coming in, Wheat says Planned Parenthood will continue to offer screenings and other services at its existing locations. Just how long before the organization is forced to make significant changes in operation is still up in the air.

One year ago I started what turned into a "season" of Mario Kart 8, complete with gameplay tweaks and paid downloadable content (DLC). It's the first time I've played a Nintendo game that has bought into the "long-tail" content and add-on strategy that is so prevalent in the large publisher space. Instead of a capsule frozen in time, Mario Kart 8 got something similar to the season pass and map pack treatment. The question is: how did this work out?

It's hard becoming a better person. I want to know the right things to say, the right things to do, in every circumstance. Of course I am not perfect, but I can try to learn from past mistakes. This is, of course, easier said than done.
We human beings do not generally enjoy confronting our mistakes. It's also not always clear where mistakes are made or who is most to blame. By the time a project or endeavor comes crashing down around you, it may be too late to find the crucial flaw in its design.
One of the most maddening and one of the coolest things about Bloodborne is that it just doesn't care if you miss things. I'm not talking about optional dialogue trees or one-off cutscenes. I'm talking about entire mechanics, huge boss fights, or even the story itself. Bloodborne has depth and complexity, and on top of that is a layer of obscurity that requires you to examine the game from every angle. As a consequence, it's easy to wander through Bloodborne with a constant fear of missing out.
The trick is realizing that you will miss out on things. There is just too much for anyone but the most incredibly dedicated player to learn and find on their own. Consequently, the game maintains a sense of mystery throughout all of its stages and each discovery feels a little more special. There are plenty of things that I've either partially or totally missed out on, but I've found that ultimately I'm okay with that.
The strongest moment in Never Alone doesn't occur while playing. Instead it comes during one of the puzzle-platformer's numerous documentary shorts, which are called "Cultural Insights." In it, members of the Iñupiat Alaskan indigenous tribe describe the act of storytelling. Like many oral traditions from around the world, their stories impart unique cultural wisdom. They speak to the context of their lives, of their history, and of their future. "We all live in stories," one interview describes, "And they need to be told. They need to be heard."
There is a sort of melancholy plea in the speaker's voice as he says this last line, and as these vignettes of Cultural Insight continue, peppered throughout the game, the weight of desire becomes evident. Look around games, books, films, whatever. The stories of marginalized communities are told too rarely. They are stories meant to be shared, but in many real ways, they are dying. I want to make very clear the respect Upper One Games deserves for making a game with an all too rare perspective before I say this, but Never Alone is a failure in storytelling.
Last week here on PopMatters, Scott Juster compared playing Bloodborne to exercising. He's right. Playing the game can feel like a gradual and painful investment towards self-improvement. But what of the social elements of Bloodborne? How do the in-game and meta social interactions surrounding the game contribute to the experience of play? To me, Bloodborne is a lot like walking on flaming hot coals.
It sounds strange, but hear me out. Firewalking and and playing Bloodborne really are quite similar, and not just because both sound excruciatingly painful. If you want to compare the two, you can pretty easily create your own firewalking experience at home. First create a small bonfire, traditionally made of hardwood. After a few hours, rake the coals into a rectangular bed of about eight or so feet in length if you're looking to take a short stroll or upwards of twenty feet for a longer jaunt. Now step onto the coals and walk as briskly as possible without losing your dignity.

LIMA — Pupils at Shawnee's Maplewood Elementary School got a firsthand look at history Friday, as author Rick Sowash brought a variety of Ohio heroes to life.
Students dressed up to portray a variety of figures from throughout the region's history, from Johnny Appleseed and Tecumseh from the pioneer days to Toni Morrison and Neil Armstrong of a more modern era.
Cathy Butler, a reading teacher at Maplewood who helped the children prepare for Friday's presentation, was very happy with how they performed.
"Some of them were really nervous, but they did great," she said. "Typically we spend a good three or four weeks preparing, but with the (weather) delays, it was more like two or three weeks."
A great deal of research went into the students' preparations.
"It's a fourth-grade project that combines the social studies and language arts curriculum," Butler said. "Each student had to choose a figure from Ohio and research them for a written project. We also asked for ones who would be willing to dress up and become that hero. They also each had to give a speech, so it was a big project."
Sowash, who last visited the school in 2011, was also pleased with how his cast performed.
"The kids were well prepared," he said. "For many of them, this was the first time up in front of a crowd, so they were a little bit nervous, but I told them I'd be there to help them. This school has always done a great job."
Each of the individuals portrayed shared one special quality, according to Sowash.
"My definition of a hero is someone who volunteers to do something difficult to help other people," he said.
Sowash also emphasized that although many of the heroes mentioned are famous, such as Ulysses S. Grant or Armstrong, what defines fame today does not necessarily equate to heroism.
"My book is not only about famous heroes," he said. "I made it a point to include heroes who were not famous because I want the kids to understand that not everyone who is a hero is necessarily famous, and conversely, not everyone who's famous is necessarily a hero."
For years, Sowash has toured the state, visiting more than 2,000 schools and sharing Ohio's rich history with more than 750,000 children. For many of the children and parents, some of what Sowash has to say came as a surprise.
"People are often surprised that some of these people I mention were from Ohio," he said. "I actually had more than 100 people I could have put into the book. There were a lot of heroes I had to leave out."
In sharing the stories of several heroes from Ohio's past, Sowash is hopeful to encourage some of Ohio's future heroes to get out and volunteer to help others.
"By doing something challenging to help other people, you could be a hero also," he told the assembly.

Phoenix Suns
Lon Babby: Suns looking to build for long-term
The Phoenix Suns are mired in last place of the Western Conference with a 17-36 record.
With the NBA trade deadline approaching after the All-Star Break, rumors involving the Phoenix Suns have been circulating.
Suns President of Basketball Operations Lon Babby told Arizona Sports 620's Doug & Wolf Wednesday that while it's his hope to improve the talent on his roster, the team won't make a trade just for the sake of it.
"We're not in the business of making other teams better," Babby said. "We've got to make sure we're careful about what we're doing and continuing to husband our assets."
Some players rumored to be on the trading block are Sebastian Telfair and Jared Dudley. While Babby won't comment on any potential moves, he did say it would take a great package in return to get the Suns to move any of their coveted draft picks.
"The biggest assets we have right now really are our draft choices and it's going to take an awful lot for us to surrender one of those draft choices," Babby stated. "As I've said before, I would never say it won't happen but nothing small will get that done."
Babby said the team has turned its attention to building for the long-term and while the Suns determine which players to bring into the fold, they'll also have to decide the future of their interim head coach Lindsey Hunter.
"We've had some really good wins under his tenure. We've had some not so great games," Babby said. "I think there is a beginning of a cultural change -- more accountability, more discipline. He has a wonderful demeanor about him and he can be firm but not personal and I think that's working well."
Babby said the Suns will assess Hunter's future at the end of the season as planned.
"We promised ourselves and we promised him that we'd just see where we are after 40 games," Babby stated. "I think he's doing everything he can within his power and I think it's been largely positive. Obviously not perfect. We've had a couple of rough games, like the ones against Oklahoma City where that just indicates how far away we are."
Babby sympathizes with Suns fans and realizes the adversity the team has faced this season is taking its toll on everyone but that management remains committed to righting the ship.
"We tried to avoid having a season like this," Babby said. "We tried to be as compete as we could be. Now that we're in this situation I think we have to embrace it and move forward. But the goals haven't changed. The goal is to be elite, to build something that's sustainable and to do it a brick at a time and that's what we're going to do."

I can't speek to any of the small Irwins, as we are a 65, but our stantions go compeletely through the toe rail, and the flange and into a wood block which is incapsulated in glass, each stantion was orignally beddd in something that resembels 4200, there was resin in every wood block as evidenced by our drilling each one out slightly oversize and then sealing with thickened epoxy and dowling and re-boring each and then sealing again with expoy, then setting the stantion in 4200. The stantions are very, very strong...

By Paul Strauss: Manny Pacquiao set the scene from round one, controlling the action and out-speeding and out hitting Oscar De La Hoya. By the third round Manny already knew he had Oscar beat, but he remained cautious, and continued to break him down. For Pacquiao fans, and boxing fans in general, it was a beautiful thing to watch. Manny took every round, and did it will style. He darted in and out, and side to side, always keeping Oscar off balance, and proving as Freddie Roach said, "He no longer can pull the trigger".
Before the action started there was a mini-controversy over the way Oscar wraps his hands. Freddie Roach, Mannys trainer, protested about Oscars use of "strap tape", rather than the normal surgical tape. He explained the strap tape results in a harder wrap. He also objected to the use of rolled up tape placed between the knuckles.. Freddie felt that produces ridges that can work its way threw the padding of the glove, and could cause a cut. Oscar also uses some type of plastic covering or sleeve for his thumb, and Freddie felt that too violated the rules. Freddie lost one and won one, getting the thumb sleeve voted out, but the tape remained. Freddie accepted the decision and said that he might wrap Manny's hands using the same tape and same technique. In the end, it was not a factor, and just pre-fight fluff.
When the opening bell rang, Oscar started out with his usual style, which is jabbing on his way in, and then backing out of range on pretty much of a straight line. Manny, on the other hand, started out at a safe distance, all the while constantly moving his head from side to side. As a result, Oscar couldn't time or reach him with his jab. Then, with lightning speed Manny would step forward with his right foot, parallel to Oscar's left (or front foot), and at the same time shoot a straight left up the pipe to Oscar's face. Then he would duck down and pivot around, further moving to his right and out of range. Oscar couldn't retaliate, because Manny wasn't there. Manny continued this technique, turning him and keeping him on the defensive.
As the fight progressed, Manny increased the level of his attack, darting in and out and side to side, all the while unleashing punishing combinations. The punches came from all angles. Oscar would try to rely on his gloves to block punches, but he was unable to do so. First, Manny would fire off a lead straight left hand, then a right hook, then a looping left, then a right uppercut, and a left to the body and so forth.
Occasionally Oscar would attempt to counter, but usually he was hitting air, and as soon as he would stop, Manny was back at him like some kind of Pacific Typhoon. To use an analogy the first few rounds were the early signs of the high winds to come, and by the middle rounds, Oscar was right in the middle, or eye of the storm, when first the winds come from one direction, then the other, and there's always the surge. That's about the time victims (Oscar) wish they had obeyed the earlier warning signs and evacuated.
All the pre-fight hype about the size advantage De La Hoya would enjoy meant nothing. Speed and power were the keys to this fight, and not only hand speed. No, as much as anything, Manny has tremendous legs. Those sturdy limbs enable him to get in and out, and go side to side so fast I'm sure Oscar thought he was fighting two guys. Those big calf and thigh muscles also give Manny his tremendous punching power. Make no mistake, this is no pretender from a lighter weight class, who many thought was audacious in his challenge to the Golden Boy. No, the swelling and bruises to De La Hoya's face attest to that fact. He is no powder puff puncher with an unrealistic dream. He is the best P4P fighter in the world. Manny is a supremely confident and talented fighter, who has steadily improved with each fight, making himself, with the help of Freddie Roach, into one of the fiercest destroyers in the fistic world.
As things unfolded, Oscars corner wanted him to make extensive use of the jab, and then follow up with a one two combination fired at 45, which meant an upright angle to penetrate Manny's defense. But, as Freddie Roach advised, Oscar just couldn't pull the trigger. By the seventh round, it was readily apparent to all watching that Oscar had had it. He was getting pummeled from all angles, and at one point appeared to want to reach for the ropes for needed support. Referee Tony Weeks moved steadily closer, ready to jump in at any moment and call a halt to the action.
At the end of the seventh round, Oscar was told by Weeks that he would have to stop the fight if Oscar continued to take so many punches. Oscar's corner echoed those sentiments. Bravely, Oscar came out for the eighth, and had one momentary flurry, but for the most part was on the receiving end. It was painful to watch, and you wondered what was keeping him up?
At the end of the eighth, Oscar's corner men, the referee and ringside physician convinced him to let them stop the fight. They told him something he knew only too well knew, and that was, "You're taking too many punches, and you just can't deal with Manny's speed." Lesser fighters would have quit much earlier. Oscar had to know that even when he did land a few punches once in a while, it changed nothing. .
Mercifully the slaughter was stopped at the end of eighth. Once the decision was made, Oscar immediately got up from his stool, and made his way across the ring to congratulate Manny on his victory. Manny thanked him and said, "You're still my idol." It was one of the few times Oscar was able to offer a counter when he said, "No, you're my idol!"
The MGM Grand Garden Arena crowd had many celebrities, including one named The Hitman. Ricky Hatton was seen drooling at ringside over the prospect of fighting either De La Hoya or Manny Pacquiao. Ricky is no fool, and realizes a match with either Oscar or Manny would be an enormous pay day for him. The chances of De La Hoya dropping to 140 lbs seem remote, though. However, Manny shouldn't have any trouble, as his fight before tonight was at 135 lbs., and he moved up in weight for it. The promoter's wheels are probably already turning. The biggest problem might be in finding a place big enough to accommodate all the fans coming from England, the Philippines, Mexico and all parts of the pugilistic world. It will be a cracker jack of a match up!

Great Hookahs-"Karim Abdul"
Smoking-Hookah.com  has the great line of "Abdul Karim" hookahs of very sizes.
Smoking-Hookah.com  has the great line of "Abdul Karim" hookahs of very sizes.
New on "Smoking-Hookah.com" are a much larger ammount of originalMiddle Eastern musical instruments. There are 13 different types of "Darbuka" (hand held bongo-like drum with body of clay or lightweight metal), tambourines,Bedouin hand held violins, bamboo and wood flutes. Here is the link:
These instruments can be played without instruction, get better as you play.
The darbuka drums come with a padded drum carrying case.
"Al Waha" shisha from Jordan? I'm a big lover of "Nakhla" from Egypt,they have quite a lot of¬† flavours and they are great.I used to smoke al-Waha a lot, both of these brands are rather cheap compared to others. The other day I had Al-Waha "5 Stars"and "Strawberry". Al-Waha is very wet shisha while Nakhla isn't. Has normally a killer great aroma right out of the box."5 Stars" tasted like Raspberry candy, and Strawberry, well like it says….¬†¬† The both last a long time and I enjoyed myself immensely.
Here's a link :http://www.smoking-hookah.com/category/14001/
And now the famous Arab dancer "Tarik Sultan" (aka Shmulik Yiztkovitz) .Well, so what? First off, he is one of the rare Male dancers, but in this video he dances with a HOOKAH on his head.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QuBRLjF26g
Now meet the Arab equivelant of Frank Sinatra.¬† "Farid Al Atrash", great solo player of the musical instrument "Oud",famous singer and movie actor of the 50's and 60″s.Friend to Arab kings and a siren to the ladies.
Here is a HD version of him singing solo and just the fantastic work on the Oud!!
I've smoked a hookah with an "Ice Chamber", but it was part of the whole hookah and not a separate piece.
I often go to "Smoking-Hookah.com"s "New Items" page on their website to check up and I see they have one!
Da Smokey Link!! :
http://www.smoking-hookah.com/product/61839001.aspClick also for the link on the photo at left
On the above link you will find out what specs and price are along with a photo, but heck, I'm not going to give you a "bum steer" or steer you wrong!!! They don't call me "Honest Abe Lincoln" for nothing. I have 11 hookahs and spent quite a lot of my sessions smoking the hookah with an already attached Ice Chamber so that was a good buy.
This will fit on any size hookah so essentially you will be able to move it from one hookah to the next, suprise your friends at a party, they MUST have some ice cubes, the "Modern Ice Chamber" will not come with its own ice cubes as you'd expect.
These are ice cubes "with a bullet", now since I have the photo, I'll give you their link  !!!!  :
DON'T be a mental pygmy by adding "dry ice" which is a gas, as oxygen is a gas to your hookah bowl  or  ice chamber, as many things are a gas,
but you'Äôd ruin your throat and lungs, mate! Same goes for adding dry ice to your water. Its DANGEROUS!Imagine your lungs,heart and brain obviously softer than YOUR head….if you use dry ice in a hookah. For bigger fools who do it to others, why I have read that in some states the perp can get up to 50 years in prison for attempted grevious bodily harm.
¬†¬†¬† Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide, if you were to put this in the vase with water the water would heat up the carbon dioxide transforming it back into a gas¬†¬† which could build up¬† pressure and¬†¬†¬† possibly¬†¬† ¬†crack or shatter¬† ¬†the vase. As the dry ice "melts", the correct term for this is sublimation, it cools the water vapor in the air around it, causing a white puffy fog that looks like hookah smoke. Personally I wouldn't put this around the vase either because carbon dioxide solidifies at 'àí78.5 ¬?C ('àí109.3 ¬?F) and over the course of an hour or so the water in the vase could freeze and crack the vase or cause damage in some other way.
You COULD use it inside a bucket and stick your hookah in the pail, or better, pack the dry ice around the hookah. SNOW is great too and it is a good insulator.
Still, from my experience, the best cooling effect is achieved when using the "Ice Chamber"
Well, I am going to see if "Smoking-Hookah.com" will be large and let me try their new "Modern Ice Chamber"
(hint hint) so that I may offer here a 100% Glatt Kosher review.
Keep in touch,Mates

A synthesised sound of water drops with reverb.
Very good ! It could be excellent if you don´t use too many pitches. Just use 3 or max 4 different pitches and i would be more realistic.

For that matter, Evert's 90% career winning allows her to stake a claim to.

First off, calling that era 'push-tennis' just reveals your ignorance. You had to
in that era, not just hit the ball hard, and one you had a winner set up, you really had to go for it to get velocity.
As for Court would beat Serena/Graf quite often. On those courts with those rackets. Serena's serve wouldn't BE what it is with those rackets, The sweet spot on them was the size of your fist, and you couldn't get near the velocity.
You are right in that Court would be hard pressed to get a set with modern technology. Her game was built for the ball going so much faster. But I think it would be much easier to adjust from the old technology to the new, rather than from the new to the old.
Proud to be an American
Not blind. Not uninformed. We are party to atrocities. But the response of the world after 9/11 is worth noting. Even our most dire enemies offered aid. We should all be so lucky.

They are a common sight in the city. Children selling stuff at traffic junctions and locals, cleaning and serving in restaurants, working in hazardous condition in factories and even mopping and doing dishes in homes.
Children below the age of 18 sweat it out for meagre earnings when they should be going to school. Child labour has been a problem plaguing the city for decades now.
The good news is that the number of children employed in several establishments has reduced over the years, if not completely eradicated.
According to the latest statistics by The Juvenile Aid Protection Unit (JAPU) of the Mumbai police, the rate of children rescued in the city this year has reduced by more than 50% this year. While this year, the unit has rescued about 250 children, last year the number was 538.
Feroz Patel, assistant commissioner of police, Social Service Branch, said: "We are associated with more than 15 NGOs. We conduct regular meetings with them and have volunteers spread across areas that are vulnerable. We conduct raids based on information from locals, NGOs and other organisations. Awareness has increased and the agents and people employing them are more cautious today."
Although the number of children rescued doesn't necessarily mean that the number of kids employed has decreased, NGOs working to eradicate child labour feel that there has been a decrease.
Priti Patkar, founder of NGO Prerana, said: "Today, in pockets like Dharavi and Madanpura, the numbers have clearly reduced. Crackdowns have intensified. It is also because of effort by NGOs and the police. People have realised that the risk factor in employing children is high."
The number of people employing children, too, has come down to 129 this year from last year's 284. The police attribute this to its strict vigilance, awareness programmes and its association with NGOs for faster crackdowns. The NGOs, however, feel that although raids have increased, there are still thousands of children employed in various unorganised sectors which go unreported.
Patel said rescuing kids doing domestic chores is still a challenge. "We don't often get information about those who work in homes. Usually, they are given education and medical aid by families who hire them. We're trying to enhance our reach to crackdown on domestic child labour," he added.
The Child Welfare Committee (CWC) said vigilance has increased. "Those who employ child labourers have joined other businesses due to crackdowns. But still not every case is reported," said Vijaya Murthy, chairperson of CWC.
"We are also educating families of these children. Sometimes children are not paid and have to work in hazardous atmosphere. We are working to not only curb the menace but also to ensure that children's families are not exploited by agents or industry owners," she added.
Pratham is among the many NGOs that have been working with the police and labour department in rescuing child labourers. Navnath Kamble, the NGO's rescue programme manager, said they have been appealing for amendments in child labour law. "According to Juvenile Justice Act, the accused is jailed only for three months. It should be increased to three years and fine levied as per Child Labour Act be increased," said Kamble. He added that in places where the NGO would rescue 70 to 80 children in the past, have only five to 10 children to be rescued.
Farida Lambay, co-founder of Pratham, added that although the menace has reduced, proper rehabilitation of such children continues to be a challenge. "The children's home that keeps the children after rescue need to be properly equipped. More often, they are sent back to parents who send them back to work. Once they are rescued, measures should be taken to ensure they are given proper education," added Lambay.
Although organised child labour is diminishing, begging is still rampant. Vijay Kharat, coordinator of NGO Yuva, said: "There should be better inter-state coordination so that rescue and rehabilitation efforts are streamlined. The state education department, labour department and child welfare commission should work together so that more cases in discreet parts are brought to light."
Tainted areas
Some of the pockets in the city where child labour has been rampant are Dharavi, Govandi, Byculla, Madanpura, Nagpada and Malwani. Children are employed in hotels, bakeries and factories manufacturing textiles, leather and even fireworks. In the past, NGOs would rescue 70 to 80 children from these areas, but now have only five to 10 children to be rescued.

Reiki is a spiritual healing system that has its origins in Japan.�
It basically consists of a �laying on of hands� type movement whereby the Reiki practitioner uses his or her hands to travel along your body - without actually touching the skin.� The hands appear to touch the skin, but rest a few centimetres above it.� The philosophy behind this type of healing is that there is amongst us all an unseen life force or energy which flows through all of us.� This life force or life force energy (call it what you will) is the very essence of what it means to be alive.� The Japanese believe that we are at a low point in our health if our life force energy is low - this renders us to be more prone to sickness and getting tired quickly.
If on the other hand, our life force energy is at a high level - then we are full of beans, and buzzing around full of energy and in good health.
The actual word, �REIKI�, itself consists of two Japanese words:� REI which in effect means �God�s wisdom or the Higher Power� and KI which is �life force energy�.� Therefore, by combining these two words we see that the word REIKI actually means a life force energy that is spiritually guided.
Although Reiki itself is spiritual in essence, it is not a way or life, not is it a religion.� Reiki does not require that you believe in something before you can learn it and use it.� Quite the opposite in fact.Reiki will �work� whether you believe it will or not.�So, what exactly does a Reiki treatment feel like?
A Reiki treatment will (or rather should) leave you feeling warm and glowing and re-energised.� Sometimes, a Reiki treatment may leave you feeling as though you have just experienced an altered state of consciousness or had some sort of spiritual experience.�
Because Reiki doesn�t just treatment one local area - but rather the whole person, which is the body part and the mind, spirit and emotions, you are left feeling totally relaxed and with a sense of well being.� It kind of gives you a �warm feeling all over�.�
Reiki has been used in all sorts of treatments for many medical afflictions.� It has been used to heal most probably every known illeness such as insomnia, flu, broken bones, headaches etc.� As well as being used on its own as a therapy, it also works alongside other therapies to promote a faster healing period and to provide relief from side effects.�
Reiki is not �taught� as such but is passed, or transferred, to the student during a Reiki class.� The Reiki master will pass on his ability during an �attunement� and in so doing will allow the student to tap into a limitless supply of life force energy.��� In this way, Reiki has been taught to thousands of people all around the world, with different backgrounds, walks of life, and cultures.

just for today.
live in the moment. no worries. keep the faith.� God will win over evil.
The principles that are used in Reiki are a basis for you to be able to continue to heal and call on universal energies as a way to unblock energies that you may have inside of you.� In relation to the principles are several concepts and ideas to their being and meaning.� These principles are used to change both the internal environment that you have as well as to know how to respond to the external environment that is constantly surrounding you.�
The third principle states to �do your work with appreciation.�� In relation to this is the fourth principle which says that it is important to �be kind to people.�� These are both important in relation to the Reiki method as they will help in your healing and in the flow of universal energies.�
Many who do not respond to the external environment with kindness and appreciation after they go through a Reiki healing method may find that there is a block in energy that reappears.� Part of the importance in the healing method is to change the ways in which you respond to your environment.� The third and fourth principles are important to learn because of this.�
When one responds to their environment without care or with an attitude that is not kind towards others, it causes the energy that is available from the universe to be blocked.� This is because the internal attitude causes negative energy to take over.� In turn, this will stop the universal energies from flowing through one in their days work.� This will not only stop the universal energies internally, but will also stop them from the others who are an important part of your daily life.� This will be reflected both through the work as well as the relationships you have with others.�
The external as well as the internal environments in Reiki are both important when one decides to go through the healing process.� If you decide to begin the Reiki method, it means employing these different principles.� By doing this, you will not only allow yourself for an energy healing and cleansing, but will also allow for this cleansing to continue while you are in an external environment.�
These principles can then be used in relation to the first and second principles that are available.� These state that for today, you do not worry and you are not angry.This allows for your internal setting of energy to be positive.When this is reflected with the external energies in your work environment, as well as with people around you, it helps for the universal energies to continue to flow.�
Practicing the Reiki principles are an important part in helping to continue healing.� By putting these different aspects into practice, it will help one to remain physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually healthy.� The Reiki principles are said to be an important part of the Reiki training as it allows for those involved continuing the healing practice outside of the practitioner or classroom setting.

Vegan cop joins meatless campaign
More News from Tessa R. Salazar
popular .
You've probably heard of vegetarian artists and show-biz celebrities, or even vegetarian athletes. But a vegetarian policeman? It seems too hard to believe that a policeman, surrounded and exposed to street-level food options of which meat is the staple, would choose the narrow path to a meat-free diet.
Meet Police Supt. Redentor J. Maranon, who at 46 became vegan in September 2010. Maranon may well be the only one of his kind in the PNP roster. He's not only a vegetarian, but a strict vegan (a vegetarian may still opt to consume eggs and dairy, but a vegan only eats 100 percent plant-based food).
Maranon was among those who attended the Philippine-led World Meatless Lunch event Oct. 1 at the Events Hall of CW Home Depot, Makati City. He was accompanied to the event by fellow vegan Sona Roy, camp director and the man behind the Eco Village in Zambales, and Dada Shivesananda Avadhuta of the Maharlika Tai-Yo Wellness Center.
At about 12:30 p.m. on that day, over 200 Filipinos from all walks of life sat down together and shared a sumptuous lunch, but with something conspicuously absent: meat. The event saw students, nutritionists, beauty queens, members of the media, scientists, Yoga teachers, a congressman (Meatless Monday Bill author Rep. Teddy Casiño), enjoy various meals with the unanimous verdict that it could be possible for humans to enjoy delicious, nutritious, and filling vegetarian meals without meat, fish, chicken, seafood and dairy products thrown into the mix.
Maranon, at six feet tall and at his age still bears a perfect posture, said he decided to become a vegan in order to change the image of the police force.
"I want to help my fellow police change their lifestyle and make God the center of their lives," he said.
Studies, article
Maranon also cited studies that show a purely plant-based diet would make him avoid cholesterol-inducing diseases like heart disease that could render him useless in the police service. He also cited a PlosOne study showing vegetarianism makes humans more compassionate.
A neuroscience article in PlosOne journal in May 2010 described the tangible differences among the brains of vegetarians, vegans and omnivores. The brain, as it was found out, tended to rewire itself toward compassion or empathy to fellow beings when subjected to a vegetarian diet. Neuroscientist Custer Deocaris, World Meatless Lunch founder, showed a copy of this study which presents the first neuroimaging evidence of brains wired for compassion when exposed to a meatless diet.
A tofu sisig cookout was also held at the Verman Car Park on Miranda Street in Pampanga, led by former Councilor Louie Reyes who heads the Green Youth Brigade. Inquirer employees held their own meatless lunch as they prepared vegetarian pasta, salads and empanadas.
Meatless embutido, tofu sisig
The World Meatless Lunch food fare included traditional Filipino foods "re-imagined" without using meat, such as Kare-Kare and Kaldereta Fusion, meatless embutido, adobong tokwa, tofu sisig and meatless bola bola.
Five vegetarian restaurants in Metro Manila prepared the meals for free, namely: Oscar Anne's vegan cafeteria owned by public health experts and nutritionist-dietitician Dave Varona and Blecenda Miranda Varona; Nanay V's catering of breastfeeding expert Nona-Andaya Castillo; Blissful Belly at Xavierville Avenue, Quezon City owned by integrative medical doctor Omar Arabia; Pipino Vegan Restaurant on Malingap Street, Teachers' Village owned by vegan Alessandra Lanot; and Wabi Sabi Noodle House and Vegetarian Grocery owned by chemist and graphic artist Ibarra Padolina.
Roy told the Philippine Daily Inquirer during the event that the essence of the World Meatless Lunch is the same reason the EcoVillage was created: to fight climate change. EcoVillage is situated along the banks of Cabatuhan River in Zambales, purportedly one of the cleanest rivers in the world, where mangroves and other indigenous plants thrive along its banks.
Vegan beauty queen MJ Lastimosa and Grendel Alvarado, who won the first cycle of the Philippines' next top model, were also present at the lunch.
A total of 117 students from Sophia School of Bulacan—a transitioning vegetarian school—performed cultural dances and songs. They were led by psychologist Lorenzo Abacan and nutritionist-dietician Ann Abacan.
Chef Marie Itchon Gonzalez, the mastermind of Kitchen Revolution, an Alabang-based gourmet food company that specializes in holistic, plant-based cuisine, prepared fresh vegetarian noodles and green smoothies on the spot. She said that she believes that the Philippines is ready for whole foods and plant-based cuisine. Her job, she said during her cooking demo, was to "make vegetables look and taste sexy and bring it out to the limelight."
