La Merced was deemed a national monument in 1956, as its walls house memories of the dead city. Those walls were witness to the future conquerors of Peru on December 28, 1530, and the historic sermon from the lips of the priest Juan de Vargas on the conquest of Atahualpa's grand empire.
The church preserves its original stone façade in the baroque style. It is located on Central Avenue very close to what was the Earth Door that gave main access to the city; the front area and courtyard of La Merced was literally the reception area of the walled enclosure. In accordance with the common design in Old Panama, it has three soaring naves, a roof supported by towering wooden pillars, and a Moorish molding dating to the colonial era. There are two towers, both topped with cupolas.
The front plaza is flanked by two small chapels, one designed for veneration of the Virgin of La Merced. A European portrait of the Virgin of La Merced that hangs in the chapel is one of the oldest paintings in the country and dates to the year 1600. After Old Panama was plundered in 1671, the portrait was rescued by a devotee and transferred from the convent. The other chapel is the current mausoleum for the Pérez Arosemena family.
The temple interior was remodeled and the main altarpiece had to be renovated after a fire in 1963. An important image of Our Lady of Mercy was donated by Charles V and brought from Spain in 1722. The original columns, made of loquat wood, are currently under renovation. This church is the guardian of a relic of St. Pancras, storing part of the saint's ankle bone, as well as an image of Our Lady of Charity, patron saint of Cuba.
The church's sacristy houses a museum with collections of imagery, colonial paintings, gold and silver objects, and the following important Panamanian historical religious documents: the Act of Consecration of the Metropolitan Cathedral of the New Panama from 1796 and registries of births, baptisms, marriages, and deaths of notable people of the era, the most prominent being the baptismal record of General Tomás Herrera, the marriage and death certificates of the First President of the Republic Manuel Amador Guerrero, and the marriage certificate of the poet Ricardo Miró. In addition, there are objects belonging to the clergy, most notably the silver crosier that belonged to the religious devotee to Our Lady of Mercy, friar José Higinio Durán y Martel, who signed the declaration of independence from Spain in 1821 as a representative of the church.
A replica of the 1904 Constitution of the Republic of Panama is stored in the museum at La Merced, in addition to an interesting chronicle written by the Panamanian businessman Camilo Quelquejeu Araúz about the events of the Battle of Calidonia Bridge that lasted from July 19 - 26, 1900.

Crags and crevices, the deep canyon of the Snake River, thermal updrafts, and a broad plateau rich in small wildlife sustain the greatest concentration of nesting birds of prey in North America.
Congress established the Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area in 1993 to protect a unique environment that supports one of the world's most dense concentrations of nesting birds of prey. Falcons, eagles, hawks and owls are found here in unique profusion and variety. It is part of the BLM's National Landscape Conservation System (NLCS). The Omnibus Public Lands Management Act of 2009 officially added the name of conservationist Morley Nelson to the NCA, in honor of Nelson's work on behalf of birds of prey and their habitats.
The BLM manages the area to preserve its remarkable wildlife habitat while providing for other compatible uses of the land, so that birds of prey flourish here as they have for thousands of years.
The area's 485,000 acres host some 800 pairs of hawks, owls, eagles and falcons that come each spring to mate and raise young. The birds are not on display, and for the most part are wary of humans, usually keeping their distance. The best times to look for raptors are mornings or early evenings in mid-March through June.
Numerous recreation activities besides bird-watching are also possible in the NCA. The NCA is "nature in the rough," with few public facilities, but the birds and their environment offer rich rewards to those willing to experience the area on its own terms and who have the patience to fit into the natural rhythms of life here.
Total area | 600,000 acres 485,000 acres public; 65,000 acres private; 39,000 acres State; 1,000 acres military; 10,000 acres surface waters (rivers, lakes, reservoirs)

50 Years Ago: The Beatles' 'A Hard Day's Night' Premieres
"This is going to surprise you — it may knock you right out of your chair — but the new film with those incredible chaps, the Beatles, is a whale of a comedy." So began Bosley Crowther's New York Times review of the Beatles' first film, 'A Hard Day's Night,' which premiered at London's Pavilion Theatre on July 6, 1964. Coincidentally, it was seven years to the day that John Lennon met Paul McCartney.
The movie didn't turn Crowther into a Beatles fan. In the same review, he referred to their music as "moronic monotony" and admitted he had trouble distinguishing them from each other "except for Ringo Starr, the big-nosed one." Still, he praised the movie's self-aware, comedic take on Beatlemania, and, for a country that was generationally divided on the group, such words from someone so entrenched in polite society carried significant weight.
And, for the upcoming generation of film critics, the movie was pivotal in their development. "I remember I walked into the theater," Roger Ebert said in the 1995 documentary, 'You Can't Do That! The Making of 'A Hard Day's Night.'' "I had a short hair cut. I was dressed kind of 'fraternity-boy' style, and I came out with my idea about how to carry and express myself really influenced. I started to let my hair grow – while I was watching that movie, my hair started to grow. … I've seen 'A Hard Day's Night' at least 25 times, and on at least five occasions, I've taught it to film classes one shot at a time."
The biggest shock of 'A Hard Day's Night''s quality was that rock n' roll movies weren't supposed to be this good. Despite showing promise in his first few films, by 1964 Elvis Presley's movies had been neutered by Col. Tom Parker, who wanted family entertainment with rapidly decreasing budgets. And although the Frankie Avalon-Annette Funicello "beach party" movies were very popular with teenagers, they weren't winning any awards either. The bar was set very low and, by taking the necessary steps to not make those same mistakes, the Beatles raised it higher than anybody could have expected.
Much of the critical praise was justly reserved for director Richard Lester. The Beatles hired him because they had been fans of an 11-minute short he had made with Peter Sellers and Spike Milligan of the Goons, 'The Running, Jumping & Standing Still Film.' Inspired by the French New Wave, his use of hand-held cameras and jump cuts, particularly in the 'Can't Buy Me Love' sequence, would later prove to be a major influence on music video.
"MTV gave me a very nice diploma at one time, or something on vellum, saying that I was the putative father of MTV," Lester said in 'You Can't Do That.' "But I've insisted on taking a blood test."
Watch the Mini-Concert in 'A Hard Day's Night'
And even if Crowther couldn't tell them apart, Alun Owen's Oscar-nominated screenplay nonetheless solidified the Beatles' individual personas. "Alun picked up lots of little things about us," McCartney said in 'Anthology.' "Little jokes, the sarcasm, the humor, John's wit, Ringo's laconic manner, each of our different ways. The film manages to capture our characters quite well, because Alun was careful to try only to put words into our mouths that he might have heard us speak."
But for all the talent involved in the crew (and let's not forget the great performances by Victor Spinetti, Norman Rossington and John Junkin), 'A Hard Day's Night' inevitably succeeds because of its stars. Although they weren't actors, they — except for a few awkward line readings by McCartney — acquit themselves well on screen. Part of it was because it was a comedy, something that came natural to them.
"Everyone in Liverpool thinks they're a comedian," George Harrison explained. "Just drive through the Mersey Tunnel and the guy on the toll booth will be a comedian. We've had that born and bred into us. And in our case the humor was made even stronger by the fact that there were four of us bouncing off one another. If one dried up, somebody else was already there with another fab quip."
Watch George Harrison Deflate an Ad Executive
That group dynamic reminded some — including Crowther — of the Marx Brothers, an analogy with which Lennon strongly disagreed. "When people start comparing us to the Marx Brothers," he said. "That's a load of rubbish! The only similarity is that there were four of them and there are four of us."
Lennon was right. The Marx Brothers drew their comedy from introducing anarchy into organized society, but 'A Hard Day's Night' is a fictional-but-rooted-in-fact tale about how the Beatles were reacting to a chaos they didn't intend to cause. They weren't rebels looking to overthrow the establishment or scheme their way into high society; if anything, they were trying to stay sane by poking fun at everything. The only troublemaker in their party was Paul's shifty, but lovable, grandfather (Wilfrid Brambell), who wasn't as "clean" as everybody suspected.
Still, Ringo's performance during his walkabout drew comparisons to Charlie Chaplin which eventually led to starring roles in movies like 'Son of Dracula' and 'Caveman.' But, as he would later disclose, there was a reason why he was so convincingly morose in that scene. "I had come directly to work from a nightclub (very unprofessional) and was a little hungover, to say the least. Dick Lester had all his people there, and the kid that I was supposed to be with, but I had no brain. … And why I look so cold and dejected is because I felt like s—. There's no acting going on; I felt that bad.'
Watch Ringo's Star Turn
And of course, there was the soundtrack, which featured seven new Beatles songs (and three existing ones) that showed just how quickly Lennon and McCartney were growing as songwriters, particularly in the ballads 'And I Love Her' and 'If I Fell.' Famously, Harrison's use of his brand-new Rickenbacker 360/12-string, a present from the guitar manufacturer on their trip to America that February, proved influential when the Byrds saw the movie together and realized what the missing piece to their equation was.
Filmed in seven weeks on a budget of only £189,000 ($500,000), 'A Hard Day's Night' shattered expectations — not the least of which was the studio, United Artists. According to Bud Orenstein, the head of European production at U.A., the movie was expected to be a loss-leader, with the soundtrack being used to break the band in America because, when the deal was signed in October 1963, Capitol still had no interest in the Beatles. "Our record division wants to get the soundtrack album to distribute in the States," he said, "And what we lose on the film, we'll get back on this disc."

Many Oklahomans have probably been happy there has not been snow to shovel this winter. But the mild weather can cause a problem for your pets.
Typically people think cold winter weather will decrease their pet's problems with external parasites in the spring. Cold temperatures will kill adult fleas but their immature offspring become dormant. So people think they are no longer in the environment but as temperatures warm the immature stages reappear, said Dr. Carolynn MacAllister, Oklahoma State University Cooperative Extension veterinarian.
"Cold winter temperatures may kill adult fleas but immature stages will remain dormant in the environment convincing people that fleas don't survive winter but fleas can survive all year," MacAllister said. "Since warm seasons are now lasting longer, fleas are tending not to disappear in the wintertime. Therefore, veterinarians are recommending flea and tick control year around in most regions of the country to help control these pesky external parasites."
Fleas feed off the blood of dogs and cats, as well as humans. A flea bite is intensely itchy and secondary infections are common. In addition, fleas and ticks can lead to several health problems for pets, such as skin allergies and tapeworms.
Ticks can survive in cold weather. They become dormant and hide in leaf litter and other protected places. When temperatures are above freezing, both adult and nymph ticks climb onto the tips of vegetation and wait for an animal to brush up next to it.
"Pets are very susceptible to tick bites and tick-borne diseases regardless of the time of year. There are products that help control ticks, but these products don't keep the ticks from getting on the dog or from the dog bringing ticks into the environment they live in," she said.
To help reduce the chance that a tick will transmit disease to your pets, check the animals daily for ticks, especially after they spend time in grassy, bushy areas such as your backyard or local parks. If you find a tick on your pet, remove it promptly and properly using tweezers, or wear gloves grasping the tick close to the skin and use gentle steady pressure.
Wash the tick bite area with soap and water and disinfect with alcohol. Signs of tick-borne disease may not appear for several days to weeks or longer after a tick bite, so watch the tick bite area for at least two weeks. If the red area starts to enlarge or your pet starts to experience clinical symptoms such as fever, vomiting, lethargy and/or anorexia (reduced appetite), contact your veterinarian
"Since we have had a mild winter, you may see external parasites appearing on your pet and in the environment earlier this year," MacAllister said. "Help control fleas and ticks on your pets this spring by maintaining them on a monthly control program year round."

Dog kills Millom woman's cat
Last updated at 14:08, Tuesday, 08 May 2012
A GREAT-grandmother has been left heartbroken after one of her prized pets was killed in an attack by a stray dog.
Denise Lippe was distraught after her six-year-old cat, Simba, was attacked and killed in Oxford Street, Millom.
Mrs Lippe, who is well-known locally as a cat lover, was contacted by an Oxford Street resident who found Simba in the street outside her home.
The pensioner was reduced to tears as she remembered her cat, which was one of six rescue cats that share her home in Devonshire Bungalows, Millom.
She said: "He never bothered anybody. I've kept animals all my life – I'm broken-hearted.
"I can't stop crying, he was part of the family.
"He would go off roaming but he always came back – I would never go to bed until he came home.
"It got to about 10.20pm and a neighbour knocked and said someone had found a dead cat.
"As soon as she said it was Oxford Street I knew it was him, he always went down that end."
The mother-of-four has five surviving cats BB, Lily, Snowbell, Pippy and Shelly, and spends around £40 a week feeding her pets.
Mrs Lippe has kept animals since she was a young girl, but the severity of the attack has left her devastated.
She said: "I've been talking to my girls in Barrow and they were in tears – one of my granddaughters thinks of him as her cat.
"They become part of the family and the amount of people coming round you'd think I had lost a blood relative."
Mrs Lippe said she believed the dog may have been used for rabbiting, due to the injuries it inflicted on Simba.
Residents have reported the dog as a light brown terrier-type dog.
She said: "There were pools of blood in the street.
"What if there was a child carrying a teddy? "
She added: "It was a savage attack on an animal that wouldn't harm anyone.
"It had gone for his face and neck. He darted under a car and the dog followed and dragged him out by his neck.
"I think the dog should be destroyed – something has to be done."
The incident, which happened on Thursday, was reported to Millom police.
Copeland Borough Council, which deals with stray dogs in the Millom area, said the incident had not been reported.
But anyone who sees a stray dog should contact 0845 054 9600 during office hours or Fair View Kennels on 01946 591064 out of office hours.

Have your say
Steve,SORRY, I think my anguish in the terms of sarcasm in the first sentence has misguided you. I agree with everything you say... I did not actually mean dogs can run loose...I was trying to use that sentence with a degree of sarcasm. What you say is absolutely correct...how often do we hear of someone being savaged by a cat....how often do you have to jump back in fear when you go to stroke a cat; whereas there is always a risk in doing so for a dog. No Steve, I am appalled, sickened and disgusted. The dog, having demonstrated a killer instinct needs to be managed at all times....it has had its first strike....that is all any animal should be allowed.So apologies if my message was lost in the anger....I agree with you entirely
I dont know why my post from yesterday hasn't been displayed?????@ SteveSome dogs have a prey drive that is difficult to control. Just like you cannot control a cats prey drive when they prowl around preying on and killing wildlife. If someone has deliberately set their dog on a cat, then the owners of the dog need to be severely punished, but you CANNOT blame the dog for this. If people let their cats roam around the streets then they are at risk of injury from other cats, dogs, traffic etc. Saying the dog needs to be destroyed is absolutely ridiculous, next thing you'll be saying 'It could be a child next!!!!!'

New For 2013The GLK benefits from a much-needed freshening for 2013. The V-6 engine is replaced with a more powerful unit, and a 2.1-liter diesel four-cylinder is a new offering in the U.S. The update brings the small Benz's interior in line with our expectations. All the GLK needs now is to trade its dowdy look for some more stylish duds.
OverviewAlthough the German home market gets to enjoy the C-class in wagon form, Mercedes-Benz has wisely chosen a small SUV to take on the role of a compact utility vehicle here in the U.S. The GLK-class looks nothing like the C-class on which it's based, of course. The boxy, upright exterior is a departure from its carlike competitors (chiefly, the BMW X3 and the Audi Q5) and gives the GLK an advantage in passenger and cargo space and in outward visibility. The rear seat is roomy, and the driver reaps the benefits of a redesigned interior with a more stylish dashboard and instrument cluster. We don't, however, count the flimsy gear selector on the steering column as an improvement. It's all good under the hood, though, where there are two new engines. The 3.5-liter V-6 is a polished, powerful mill with the ability to save fuel by automatically shutting down when the car comes to a stop. Those seeking even greater efficiency will want to opt for the new diesel four-cylinder. Sold as the GLK250 BlueTec, the 2.1-liter engine is suitably lively and well mannered to serve in this $38,000 luxury crossover. The GLK rides comfortably on standard nineteen-inch wheels, but it exhibits too much body roll in corners. The X3 and the Q5 offer better handling and a sporty character that is absent in the Mercedes.
SafetyABS; front, front side and pelvis, side curtain, and driver's knee air bags; traction and stability control; and tire-pressure monitoring are standard. Optional equipment includes swiveling headlights, lane-departure warning, blind-spot assist, adaptive cruise control, adaptive high-beams, and active parking assist.
You'll like:
- Pleasant ride
- Plenty of space
- Great engines
You won't like:
- Frumpy styling
- Unimpressive handling

By JUDITH SELZER
Nearly 2 million women in Florida do not have access to adequate health care. Sadly, the Florida Legislature is not only doing nothing to help them — lawmakers are pushing legislation that would exacerbate the problem.
Instead of creating new hurdles to health care for women to jump over, legislators should be focused on reducing the number of uninsured women in this state. Instead, lawmakers are chipping away at women's access to reproductive health care.
According to a new report by the Florida Association of Planned Parenthood Affiliates, titled "Women's Health at Risk," the lack of quality health care disproportionately impacts minority women. Florida also ranks second in the nation in the number of women and girls with HIV and 12th in teen pregnancies.
Every woman should have access to cancer screenings, annual checkups, birth control, and testing for and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases.
While Tallahassee politicians are filing bills that would restrict women's access to reproductive health care, they are also dragging their feet when it comes to expanding Medicaid health care, which would allow about 1 million more Floridians access to care.
This isn't just bad politics. It's bad public policy.
And it's not happening only in Florida. From Arkansas to Wisconsin to North Dakota, politicians are attacking women in statehouses across the country. This level of hostility should be a wake-up call to everyone who cares about women's health.
A recent American Cancer Society survey showed that most Floridians, 63 percent, support expanding Medicaid, while the Florida Hospital Association's poll showed a nearly identical proportion, 62 percent, did.
In Okaloosa County, this would help the nearly 14,000 women — or 18 percent — who do not have health insurance. They lack key preventive care and are left to rely on emergency clinics if they seek medical help at all.
They deserve better.
By expanding Medicaid statewide, nearly 5,000 more women in Okaloosa County would have access to health care. Statewide, more than 640,000 uninsured women would.
Lawmakers should listen to the electorate and stop their attacks on women's health.
If anything, they should be working with women to improve their access to health care. If they cannot do that, they should leave well enough — and women — alone.
Judith Selzer is vice president of public policy and communications for the Florida Association of Planned Parenthood Affiliates.

Nursing Dean Inducted into Prestigious National Leadership Organization
Dr. Teri Murray Joins Two SLU Faculty as Academy Fellows
ST. LOUIS - Surrounded by her husband and members of her Saint Louis University family, Teri Murray, Ph.D., dean of the School of Nursing, celebrated the highlight of her professional career as she was inducted as a fellow in the American Academy of Nursing. The induction took place on Oct. 15 in Washington, D.C.
|Joined by her husband Bruce, Teri Murray, Ph.D., celebrated a professional milestone.
"It's the highest recognition you can get in nursing," Murray said. "It's really exciting and a terrific honor to know that others view the work you've done at the state and national level as really making a difference in nursing. Our ultimate goal is benefiting patients."
There are nearly 3 million nurses in the United States and about 1600 are members of the highly selective American Academy of Nursing Fellows. These professional leaders represent the nation's most highly educated nursing leaders who are recognized for their work in education, management, practice and research. Together they create and put into practice initiatives that help drive reform of America's health care system, which improves the practice of nursing and patient care.
A panel of Academy Fellows determine the new class of fellows based, in part, on the impact a nominee has had in influencing health policy and health care for all Americans. Supported by two current Academy Fellows, nominees must show evidence that they have made significant contributions to nursing and health care.
Murray was selected as an education innovator for her work that expanded partnerships between academic institutions and community agencies and hospitals, allowing nursing programs to educate more nurses. As president of the Missouri Board of Nursing and a Robert Wood Johnson Executive Nurse Fellow, Murray led a regulatory initiative that improved the practice of nursing in Missouri and nationally. She is dedicated to developing a more culturally diverse nursing work force, and during the last two years, her efforts have produced more than 2000 additional nurses from under-represented groups in 32 states.
Murray's work -- which combines education, regulation and public policy -- is rooted in discovering the best practices, and finding ways to build enthusiasm and consensus for putting them into action.
Murray serves as a national advisor to Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's New Careers in Nursing program, which provides scholarships to increase the diversity of the nursing profession. She has served on the State Board of Nursing for more than eight years, four of which as president. A public health nurse, Murray remains clinically engaged through her work on several health organization boards.
Earlier this year, Murray received the St. Louis American Foundation's Stellar Performer Award at its Salute to Excellence in Health Care recognition event.
She holds bachelor's and master's of science degrees in nursing from Saint Louis University, a master's degree in education from the University of Missouri-Saint Louis, a Ph.D. in Higher Education Administration from Saint Louis University and a certificate in Management and Leadership in Education from Harvard University.
Murray is the third Saint Louis University School of Nursing faculty member to be inducted into the American Academy of Nursing Fellows. Norma Metheny, Ph.D., associate dean for nursing research, was selected for her research on promoting safe feeding tube practices, which enhances the care of patients. Mary Ann Lavin, DSc., was selected because of her extensive work on clinical diagnosis.
Founded in 1928, Saint Louis University School of Nursing has achieved a national reputation for its innovative and pioneering programs. Offering bachelor's, master's, and doctoral nursing programs, its faculty members are nationally recognized for their teaching, research and clinical expertise.

For irrigation, germination or propagation and used in an upright position, the low flow application rate micro sprayers is a complete assembly unit that includes 32 GPH micro sprayer with blue nozzle, anti leak device, 24" micro tubing, weight and barb. Designed to irrigate or propagate in greenhouse benches and beds in inverted position provided the added benefit of keeping the benches clear from lateral pipe and prevent damage to the micro sprayers by machinery if used. The Completely assembled unit includes an anti-leak device that prevent dripping at the end of the irrigation cycle and keeps the laterals line under pressure in all time, saving water and fertilizer that otherwise may be wasted as water drain the line..
Micro sprinklers or micro sprayers hanging upside down from the ceiling are a concept that offers a very efficient way to water and can be designed for almost any bench width in a greenhouse application. This inverted, hanging method of watering prevents wetting the supply line, which when soaked can cause drip damage to the plant below. The anti-leak device prevents the micro sprayers from draining the supply line at the end of the irrigation cycle. Another feature of inverted micro sprayers is that a stabilizer weight maintains the micro sprayers in perfect position relative to the bench. In addition, there are no micro sprayer heads to trip over, providing a safer and more efficient working environment.
In this category we have selected two models of micro sprayers from two manufactures with four flow rates and two configurations.
The micro sprayers provided by The Drip Store are suitable for all applications in the irrigation of seedlings, germination and propagation in benches or for row plantings in greenhouse applications. Used in an upright position with low application rate, the 360-degree micro sprayers have excellent uniformity under a wide range of pressures using a triangular or rectangular spacing layout.
For detailed information and installation instructions see our Micro Irrigation for Professional Greenhouses and NurseriesTutorial for Greenhouses section.

PANAMA CITY — In 1980, as an unpolished 20-year-old blues guitarist in New York City, Michael "Slim Fatz" Garcia would wear makeup, powder his hair and black out a tooth for performances.
Sometimes, he would play while sitting in a wheelchair.
Garcia wanted to appear older and more seasoned. If he couldn't be a real bluesman, he could at least look like one.
He dropped the character as he became more skilled on the guitar, developing a style crossing Carolina bluegrass and delta blues. After stints performing in historic music towns including Memphis, Tenn., and New Orleans, Garcia moved to Atlanta in the early 2000s and represented the city in Memphis' International Blues Competition. He was riding high.
But soon, his past would come back to haunt him.
"I was in Georgia, and I knew something was wrong with me but I didn't know quite what it was," he said. "I lost a lot of weight. I had no energy at all. I had to sleep all day to do a gig at night and still take naps in between sets. I was just real worn out, no energy at all."
Garcia was displaying early signs of Addison's disease, a rare and sometimes deadly disorder in which the body doesn't produce sufficient steroid hormones. The symptoms are subtle — fatigue, nausea, headaches — so Addison's often goes undiagnosed in the early stages.
While his body withered on the inside, his outward appearance suffered as well. He looked older. His beard grayed, and a front tooth — like the one he blacked out during early performances — fell out.
Soon, he was too weak to walk. He needed a wheelchair. He had become his character.
"I thought about the irony of it," Garcia, 53, said in an interview. "That here I am missing a tooth, stuck in a wheelchair. I'm who I was portraying as a kid."
Garcia said he moved to Panama City in 2003 expecting to die.
"I may as well be somewhere that's pretty," he recalled thinking.
Over the next three years, Garcia was confined to a wheelchair while he received treatment for his disease. Still, he recorded several albums and performed occasionally, though not without scaring his collaborators, recording engineer Tom Hoots and producer Neal James.
"Neal and I were in here one time, and he was too sick, too tired to do anything in our recording session," Hoots said. "He left, and Neal and I were sitting here saying, 'Well, this will be our last CD. … Slim's not going to survive.' "
After continued treatment and major changes to his diet and lifestyle — no more cigarettes and no more whiskey — Garcia slowly regained his health. He walked again, gained back a few pounds and resumed traveling for shows. His recovery, Hoots said, was "nothing short of miraculous."
Garcia credits his music with helping him recover.
"If it wasn't for the joy of playing and the joy of being in front of people playing, I would've cashed in my chips because I was such bad shape I couldn't do nothing else," he said.
On a recent night at Fishale Taphouse and Grill in Panama City Beach, there was Garcia, strumming songs by Bob Dylan, Muddy Waters and Tom Waits, several of his musical influences.
While Garcia's fingers jumped from chord to chord, most people at the restaurant paid him little attention. They sipped their beers, they talked, and they watched sports highlights. Between songs, some corners of the room offered Garcia soft and short applause.
"Thank you," Garcia said, smiling.
He hasn't replaced the missing tooth. These days, he's just happy to be playing.
Check back later Sunday for a video.

I am the new contributor here at The NXT Step. I am 30 years old and live in Esbjerg, Denmark (about 60 kilometers from Billund). I have a bachelor degree in education (teacher). It was through my studies as a teacher that I was introduced to LEGO Mindstorms - it quickly became apparent that it wasn't just the kids who had fun building and programming robots. I finished my studies as a teacher by writing a bachelor project on how to combine Mindstorms and math in 5th grade. Besides this I have built a lot of Mindstorms robots and tools using both the RCX and NXT brick. Most of my robots are displayed at my personal Mindstorms website. Besides this I have also held talks and given interviews about Mindstorms. Currently I am working on finishing the building instructions for my NXT Image Scanner. A few years ago I went back to university to study engineering – here I am actually learning a lot of techniques that can be used to build better Mindstorms robots. That's about it. I look forward to contributing to The NXT Step.

Hey Anders,
Welcome to the team!
Your projects are amazing.
What a coincidence, I just posted about your scanner. :)
However, right after you posted something strange happened to the blog. I know blogger is buggy some times.
Jim or David, or anyone, do you know how to fix that?

And the whole plot of the books is all about maintaining the desired content of certain books, so if you don't know them the plot is partially lost on you.

BaldJean wrote:FForde announced that the second book of the "Shades of Grey" series is due to come out this year.
Jasper Fforde.com wrote:The Shades of Grey series. Set in the long distant future in a society dominated in every way by visual colour, Shades of Grey is the adventures of one Eddie Russett, an unambitious red who moves to East Carmine, a small village right on the edge of Red Zone West. The colour you can see dictates your social position, and the collection of scrap pigment to be refined into glorious 'univisual' shades seems to be the primary goal of the society. But perhaps there is more to the fixed and intransigent world in which Eddie finds himself, and when he meets Jane Grey, his worst suspicions are realised. Part comedy, part social satire (imagine Eton run by the Khmer Rouge) Shades is probably my most ambitious work to date. (One book so far; Book two due in 2013.)

Federal Work Study Information
Federal Work Study: How does it work?
Federal Work-Study is a federally funded program that provides job opportunities for students to earn money to elp pay for educational expenses. Westminster Employs hundreds of students each year in different areas. The Federal Work Study Program will provide you with valuable work experience as well as a paycheck.
What does the Federal Work Study amount on my award letter mean?
The total amount of your Federal Work-Study award lets you know how much you are eligible to earn during the school year. Keep in mind that this amount will not be subtracted from your tuition bill up front because you'll earn the funds by working and will receive a paycheck. If you have not been awarded any Federal Work Study, you can still have a job on campus, although some postions are available to students awarded Federal Work Study only.
How many hours a week may I work?
On-campus jobs offer part-time employment. Typically, this means students can work anywhere from 1 to 20 hours per week. The number of hours you are eligible to work depends on the individual needs of the department. Different positions also offer variable hours per week.
How do I find a job?
Orientation weekend includes a Student Employment Preparation Meeting as well as a Campus Job Fair. There is also an online job board on teh Student Employment Website at: www.westminstercollege.edu/apps/workstudy/
How do I get paid?
Westminster pays student employees every two weeks and offers two options for receiving your pay. You may either have your paycheck directly deposited into your personal checking or savings account, or you may choose to have your paychecks automatically applied to your student tuition bill account.
Where do I go if I have questions?
If you have questions, please contact the Financial Aid Office at (801) 832-2500 or toll free at (800) 784-4753.

Stroble Center for Liturgy Hosts Successful Concert and Retreat
|Fr. John Foley, S.J. (front) celebrates Mass with music led by Fr. Cyprian Consiglio, OSB Cam.
The Stroble Center for Liturgy at Saint Louis University welcomed more than 100 people for a concert featuring Fr. Cyprian Consiglio in the Busch Student Center Friday, March 18.
The concert, "Compassionate and Wise," included world music from a variety of spiritual traditions.
Saturday morning, Fr. Cyprian led a retreat titled "Dying and Rising: Preparing for Easter" which included morning prayer and the celebration of the Eucharist. Participants enjoyed his fresh perspective that both followers of Western and Eastern spiritual traditions can learn from each other to enhance their prayer life.
Fr. Cyprian is an internationally known performer, recording artist and composer. He has written several collections of music for Catholic liturgy as well as music for personal prayer and meditation.
The Stroble Center for Liturgy at Saint Louis University enlivens, enriches and deepens the celebration of the Eucharist by enabling Catholics to participate more fully in the Mass, by advancing the composition of liturgical music, and by teaching students about the riches of Catholic liturgy.

UFC 47 - It's On Pictures - Wes Sims vs. Mike Kyle
Mike Kyle was possibly in for a long night against the sometimes too-reckless Wes Sims. Riding high on a four fight winning streak, Kyle was determined to make a statement tonight and prove his mettle in the Octagon. There was only :25 left on the clock when referee John McCarthy finally stood the fighters up for lack of action, and that's when Kyle capitalized on the fatigued Sims. Kyle quickly closed the gap and raced in for the kill, smashing a crippling right hand dead on Sims' face. Sims collapsed onto the canvas like a wild buck just picked off by Ted Nugent and that was all she wrote. The official knockout came at 4:59 of the first round. The upper right corner of Sims' chest was a bite mark left from Kyle. After the fight Kyle claimed that it was his mouthpiece inadvertently dug into Sims' chest, but nobody believed him. It was crystal clear that Sims was not only a victim of taking a fight on short-term notice, but also of Mike Tyson/Andrew Golota vicious teeth syndrome.

Well, I got a request and a demand for this…Supergirl for the Genesis Morphing Fantasy Dress (texture will also work on V4 and V3's Morphing Fantasy Dress since they share the same UV's. That's what DAZ says anyways).
Here's the first stage of the work using V4's Iconic Shape for Genesis. So far the S shield is giving me the most trouble. But I have an idea on how to possibly fix that.
Anyways, I'll keep working on this. In the meantime, if your interested in this potential freebie, please reply here. If there is enough demand for it, I'll share with the community at large.

Minden Anytime Grill Deluxe
Sale Price: $49.99
List Price:
You Save: $29.96 37% off
- Additional Details
- Made In: China
The Minden Anytime Grill Deluxe with adapter for electric and ceramic stovetops brings outdoor cooking indoors. Grilling has gone from a weekend summer activity to an everyday way of cooking. With the greater flavor and the reduction in fats, grilling is more that a special event its a way of life. So now is the time to start looking at the new way of grilling.
With little preparation you can come home from work and throw together a great meal on the grill in less than 30 minutes. Your Minden Anytime Grill, as seen on TV, can cook hotter and faster than virtually any other appliance you own. The secret is proper meal planning.
You can even grill a quick and easy desert on the grill. Grilled fruit is a delicious treat, particularly when topped with ice cream. For most fruits you can simple slice and grill.
Plan ahead and you can turn any weekday meal into something spectacular using your Minden Anytime Grill. With a little practice and some great recipes, you can get a complete meal from your grill in less 30 minutes.
The Anytime Grill is used directly on the top of a gas or electric burner for indoor grilling and cooking. The open bottom design captures the heat from the burner and directs to the grill grate while the innovative heat shield system deflects and directs the mess.
The enamel coating allows for high temperature cooking just like your outdoor grill. The specially vented lid channels away the grill smoke. The lid also traps the heat and turns the grill into a stovetop oven while retaining the moisture in the foods.
Featured on From the Set's "Super Bowl Party Ideas." Cook high and fast or low and slow.
