Letter to My Daughterby George Bishop
Reading Group Guide
1. Mother-daughter relationships are the crux of this novel. How are these often complicated relationships portrayed? What differences, if any, do you see between the different generations, i.e., between Laura and her mother and between Liz and Laura? Do these portrayals reflect your own relationship with your mother? How?
2. Liz's side of the story is never presented in the novel. What impressions of her do you get from Laura's letter? Do you think Liz and Laura have a relationship similar to Laura's relationship with her own mother?
3. Laura writes this letter to Liz in hopes of breaking the cycle of distrust and miscommunication that she experienced
with her own mother. Do you think that this letter will have the effect that Laura would like it to? Do you think that writing this letter makes Laura more sympathetic to her own mother? Do you think that writing this letter was the right thing for Laura to do after her daughter ran away?
4. Laura waits until Liz is fifteen to tell her the truth about her own teenage years. Do you think it would have made a
difference if she had shared her story with Liz earlier? What do you think Liz's reaction to it will be?
5. Laura knows, even before their disastrous meeting, that her parents disapprove of her dating Tim. How do you think
this affected her attraction to him and her devotion to their relationship?
6. Do you think Laura's parents did the right thing by sending her away to school? What do you think their motivations
were when they made the decision to send her away? Ultimately, did Laura's experience at Sacred Heart make her a more or a less dutiful daughter?
7. When Tim tells Laura that he has enlisted in the army, he claims he's doing it for her. Do you think he and Laura both truly believe this at the time? Should Laura have asked him not to go, as her older self thinks she should have?
8. Laura makes a scrapbook for Tim of everything she has been doing while they've been apart because she wants to
share everything with him. She says, "If you had to choose the moments that best represented your life, what would
they be? The small actions that pass almost without our noticing them, yet that we spend most of our time doing;
aren't these in fact the real stuff of our lives?" (p. 56) Do you agree with Laura? How would you answer her question?
9. Sister Mary Margaret tries to help Laura and ensures that she receives Tim's letters. Why do you think she puts
her own job in jeopardy to help Laura? Do you think her transfer to another school was appropriate?
10. Laura refers to herself and her group of friends at Sacred Heart as the "charity cases." Do you think Laura's status remained this way throughout her high school years, especially after she found her niche on the newspaper staff? To what extent is this experience universal for high school students?
11. Laura starts to feel disconnected from Tim after not seeing him for a very long time and as she becomes more involved in life at Sacred Heart. And later, she stops reading Tim's letters, as they become more depressing and pessimistic. She says, "I couldn't take on the burden of being his lifesaver, too, his one and only hope" (p. 115). How did you feel about Laura's behavior toward Tim? Did your view of her character change? Why or why not?
12. In his final letter to Laura, Tim wonders whether or not she is in agreement with his dream of what their future would be like, and says that, regardless, the thought of her helped him get through each day and be "a little bit kinder or a little bit braver" (p. 124). Do you think Tim thought Laura would still be waiting for him when he returned? How important are beliefs like this, even if false, during times of extreme duress?
13. Laura and Tim are young when they first meet, and over the course of their courtship both of them grow and mature in different ways. Do you think this is an accurate representation of first love?
14. Laura agreed to go the senior prom with Chip, the fellow journalist that had been pursuing her despite her relationship with Tim. Laura is unfaithful to Tim with Chip, and Chip eventually stops talking to Laura after this. Laura doesn't blame Chip for his reaction, and is very hard on herself for her behavior. Do you agree with Laura's take on the situation? How do you think Liz will react to hearing this story about her mother's past?
15. Laura sees her decision to get a tattoo in memory of Tim as an inspired moment. "It was as if the act had been there all along, in my mind and in my body, only waiting for this moment to be realized" (p. 126). Do you think this was
an appropriate way to honor Tim? What do you think Laura's decision to get a tattoo of lines from an Elizabeth Barrett Browning sonnet and to name her daughter after this poet really represents to Laura?
16. Laura refers to Liz's father as she frets about Liz's disappearance, and describes to Liz what he is doing while they are waiting for her to come home. As you were reading, did you think that Liz's father would be either Tim or Chip? Who do you imagine Laura ended up marrying?
17. In the last scene of the novel, Laura is finishing her letter to Liz when she hears a car approaching. Do you think
this is Liz coming home? Why or why not?

This World Cup has been topsy-turvy. Big name countries haven't been doing so well while countries who you would already expect to be down and out for the count are progressing fundamentally well. If you missed Sunday's match up with Portugal clashing against the USA, you missed the game that illustrates why there has been such a big flip in strength in World Cup 2014.
Everyone expected Cristiano Ronaldo to punish the USA very easily with his blazing fast speed and well precised kicks, but on Sunday, Ronaldo's speed acted as a doubled edged sword. Ronaldo often found him self offside. He had 3-4 offsides in the second half of the game alone and in the last 20 seconds of the game and USA up 2-1 after trailing 1-0 going into the half, Ronaldo's contribution to the team was no where to be found.
Like any hard working athlete, Cristiano Ronaldo's determination did not falter. As time slithered away, Portugal pushed and pushed as hard as that could since a lost to USA would cause Portugal to face elimination. What happens next was simply amazing.
While it wasn't Cristiano Ronaldo who scored the goal, it did set up the play very well. The setup is by far Ronaldo's greatest contribution to his team since the World Cup stated. Hopefully this game will cause him to wake up and be the team leader that his team needs.
With a Portugal, team USA will face off against group leader Germany. In order to advance to the next round, the USA will either need to tie with Germany or beat them outright. If Germany ties with team USA, both Germany and the USA will be able to make it through to the next round. In the last 2 would cups, Germany has always made it to at least the semi-finals. Team USA is in need of some big plays.

Korean Mystery horror film
Disclaimer: This review is about a film rated NC-18 and may contain graphic photos of scenes from the movie.
Those who have seen the short in the Asian Horror compilation "Three Extremes" would know what the premise of "Dumplings" is all about. This is the 90 minute uncut version of Fruit Chan's highly disturbing horror thriller (Cat. III=NC-18). Why not do a review of "Three Extremes" instead of this film? Well, first of all, the film is a more extensive version and secondly, the film is a nice blend of calculated direction, is entertainingly haunting and expresses a realistic idea of human vanity and errors. Based on the novella by Lillian Lee (Farewell My Concubine), Chan's award-winning "Dumplings: Three Extremes" is deliciously appetizing and at the same time quite repulsive because of its main premise.
A former actress, Mrs. Ching Li (Miriam Yeung) is a former movie star whose past fame is behind her. Afraid that her womanizing husband (played by Tony Leung made to look older) would leave her for a younger woman, she approaches a mysterious woman called Aunt Mei (Bai Ling). Aunt Mei looks somewhat trashy but alluringly attractive--very sexy. Apparently Mei makes these "dumplings" that hold the secret to eternal youth and they are very expensive. Her main ingredient: aborted human FETUS. Ching is a desperate woman who decides that any price is worth her youth and beauty, she wants to regain her husband's affection. Little does she know that she has set off a chain of events that would prove too high a price, far beyond her imagination.
The "secret" ingredient is actually shown within the first 5-10 minutes of the film and as anyone would predict, it would come at a price. The film isn't at all that bloody or gory; it's just that the very idea of ingesting human fetus in the form of dumplings is truly able to upset and unsettle its viewer. What is also more unsettling is the fact that Aunt Mei is so casual about it, surely a very intelligent woman with a very wicked madness. The film explores human vanity, lust and vengeance. Yes, the film is worth watching, there is more to "Dumplings" than the version seen in "Three Extremes".
Ching Li is a woman very dependent on her husband. She knows she has a lot to lose if ever he divorces her. The situation is actually the main villain in this film, Aunt Mei is just its tool. Ching's womanizing husband supplies the motivation. The relationship between Mei and Ching actually takes center stage as they develop a strange bond as she ingests her daily meal of the "magical" dumpling. Ching does exhibit the same mixed feelings about the special meat as the audience, but she is very determined to follow through.
The film also serves up a lot of depth to Aunt Mei's character which wasn't shown in its short version. Mei was a former doctor in Mainland China who had performed abortions, everyone knows that China has a "one child" rule; the country has the largest population in the world. Mei has performed 30,000 abortions in a year and so she has never birthed a child herself, her former boyfriend fears that her pregnancy may become cursed. The easy access to human embryos is more fleshed out and the details are presented in disturbing fashion.
The special ingredient itself is given a lot of character, Mei reveals the origins of the procedure that came from ancient China. However, twisted it may be, the legends surrounding youthful beauty had been known and practiced by the early Chinese emperors, and the practice had been used to cure diseases. Dimsum have always been a treat for the Chinese as well as other countries; it was quite clever for the writer to make the famous delicacy the vehicle for the cannibalistic ritual. The fantastic cinematography by Christopher Doyle is to be commended, and the style is reflected by Miriam Yeung and Bai Ling's enchantingly beautiful complexions.
Lust is further explored as the film does contain quite a fair amount of mild nudity and sex. Miki Yeung plays Connie, the mistress. The woman is given a fair amount of screen time. Mei and Mr. Li actually form their own relationship. Mei finds herself wanting the enriched life Ching lives while Li is a man obsessed with youthful beauty, he loves young pretty women and sex. It was also quite ironic that Li consumes a good amount of the Filipino delicacy called "Balut" (aborted duck eggs) to keep his sexual energy. However, the film has an added twist as Mr. Li becomes seduced by Mei herself, because she desires a man's warm touch. (I wouldn't blame him) Mei is woman supposed to be in her sixties but when played by Bai Ling with her fabulous looks, she is quite a sexually inviting woman. Mei is more a eye-candy than a breathing character in the film but Bai Ling gives Aunt Mei a very real feel, as much as a near-immortal woman can be.
The final act of the film actually diverts from the shorter version in "Three Extremes" and it is more effective and definitely affecting. Ching's descent into madness that results in her exacting vengeance adds an exclamation point to the film. It is a little predictable but nonetheless very disturbing. These characters are very unlikable, and ugly inside. Their disturbed actions adds more "visceral" punch when they act so leisurely about it. The lack of a repulsed reaction is the film's greatest asset although some may deem it a little too slow-paced. However, good the proceedings are, it does lack some definition that may prove a little unworthy of its very alarming subject matter.
"DUMPLINGS" is a bizarrely explicit descent into madness and what is so ironic about the film is that its ugliness comes from the pursuit of beauty. It is effectively transfixes that ugliness comes from the inside. While the idea of devouring human embryos is its major "gross-out" feature, there is barely any MAJOR displays of blood and gore. The storytelling managed to get under the skin and leaves the impression that the film is actually more gory than it really is. The film is definitely very cold, but exhilarating and full of affecting elements. It is appetizingly horrific that the taste may leave a repulsive after-taste in your mouth.
Recommended timidly because of its nature [4- Stars]
The 2-disc Lionsgate dvd release of "Three Extremes" actually has this film on the second disc. (I'm told) I own the HK region-3 release.

Regina King's name proves how regal she is, but it sounds like Malcolm-Jamal Warner is no longer treating her like a queen.
According to Us Weekly, after two years of dating, The Cosby Show alum asked the Southland star and her son to move out of the house they shared.
"He said he wasn't feeling it anymore," a source told Us Weekly, adding, "She's still very brokenhearted."
The actors, both 42, have been friends since the 1980s. It's always sad when a couple splits, but it sounds like this source is definitely Team Regina, so it's possible if someone from Team Malcolm-Jamal had shared the story we wouldn't be feeling like he was a big meanie. Or maybe we would. Either way, this is sad news.

One man sees a future in which all embryos are genetically programmed in laboratories. Parents would select not only the eye color but the intelligence of their children. Scientists would guide human development away from cancer, depression and perhaps even violence.
Another man looks over this same vision and recoils from a horrifying utopia. The skeptic sees an aristocracy of "enhanced humans" rising up to dominate those who would still conceive babies through sex. The majority might try to purge unpopular traits such as homosexuality from the gene pool.

Furnal Equinox (sometimes abbreviated as FE) is a furry convention held during the month of March in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Announced in 2009 and holding its first edition in 2010, it is Canada's largest furry convention by attendance.
Prior to 2010, there had never been a large, hotel-based furry event hosted in the Toronto area. (Feral! has run continuously since 1998, but takes place at a summer camp three hours from Toronto.)
In late 2008, Dan Skunk, after scouting many possible venues and finding one suitable for hotel convention in Toronto and people willing to fund it, created message board on his web site, Ontario Furries inviting people to become involved in running it.
In early 2009, after discussions on Ontario Furries, an organizing committee was formed to plan the event. This committee consisted originally of Aaeden, Benjamin, Blindsight, Crassadon, Danruk, Dan Skunk, Sparrow, KI Wind, Pakesh De, Potoroo, Scani, and Shiro Tora. These members of local fandom all made contributions, some quite significant, of time and/or money to make the convention a reality.
Benjamin, Ki Wind, and Aaeden soon after resigned and Dan Skunk, Danruk, Sparrow were later dismissed by the remaining members followed by Shiro Tora and then Crassadon. These removals caused considerable controversy on the Ontario Furries forum, where Dan Skunk and Sparrow disputed the reasons for them, Dan Skunk continued to support the convention on Ontario Furries, offering criticism and suggestions, but banned them twice for engaging in flame wars on the site and slandering other members. After attending Furnal Equinox, Dan Skunk claimed he was treated rudely by staff, hassled by security, and treated rudely by the chairman and eventualy banned all discussion of FE on Ontario Furries. Furnal Equinox disputes these claims. The dispute eventually led to a split in the local forums and meets.[1]
- See also: Furnal Equinox#Origins_and_controversy
FE was promoted in its first year as Toronto's First Furry Convention and formally announced its name on July 1 (Canada Day), 2009.[2]
The name Furnal Equinox was conceived by founding member ShiroTora. The chosen name plays upon the convention's date in March, close to the beginning of spring (the vernal equinox).[3]
|Our mission is to bring together fans of the furry genre together in a laid-back, casual environment to exchange artwork and crafts, share ideas, participate in entertainment, and meet the fantastic creators and fans that contribute to the furry community, all in one of Canada's premier cities. We aim to not only showcase homegrown talent here in Canada, but bring the best furry artists around the world to our members.[4]
Furnal Equinox has aimed to promote this goal of showcasing the best local talent and attracting worldwide furry names by inviting two Guests of Honour to the convention every year, one from Canada and one from outside of Canada.[3]
The convention has raised money every year for the Mississauga Humane Society (MHS) by hosting a charity auction. The MHS is unique among humane societies in that it has no shelter facility or paid staff — rather, all funds are directed towards veterinary bills, food and other supplies for the animals in their care. In total, Furnal Equinox has raised $4,200 for the MHS over two years.[5]
- Furnal Equinox 2010 took place on March 6-7, 2010 at the Doubletree by Hilton - Toronto Airport hotel, attracting 330 attendees. The Guests of Honour were Heather Bruton and BushyCat, and the convention celebrated the theme of "Furry Fun and Games".
- Furnal Equinox 2011 took place on March 11-13, 2011, returning to the Doubletree by Hilton - Toronto Airport hotel, attracting 450 attendees[6]. The Guests of Honour were FirestormSix and ZEN, and the convention's theme was "Wild Magic".
- Furnal Equinox 2012 took place on March 16-18, 2012, returning to the Doubletree and attracting 651 attendees. The Guests of Honour were furry artists Dark Natasha and Marci McAdam, and the theme of the convention was "Infurnally Yours".
- Furnal Equinox 2013 took place on March 8-10, 2013 at a new hotel, the Sheraton Toronto Airport Hotel & Conference Centre, attracting 750 attendees. The Guests of Honour were RedCoatCat and Rukis, and the theme was "Furries in Uniform".
- Furnal Equinox 2014 took place on March 7-9, 2014 at the Sheraton Toronto Airport Hotel & Conference Centre, attracting 910 attendees. The Guests of Honour were Sandy Shreiber and Sabretoothed Ermine, and the theme was "Circus!".
Furnal Equinox is operated by Anthropomorphic Events of Ontario, a corporation without share-capital (NPO) in the Province of Ontario, founded in June 2009. Pakesh De and Blindsight have been the co-chairs since the inaugural year of the convention.
Origins and controversy[edit]
|The factual accuracy of this section is disputed. (discuss)
The details and credit for how Furnal Equinox came to exist have been mired in an extensive WikiFur edit war, stemming from disagreements between Dan Skunk and members of FE's staff. Generally, Dan Skunk has viewed his role as the main, instrumental and under-acknowledged founder, while the opposing view has been that he was an initial participant (amongst many) in the early stages of the convention's formation, who helped bring together a number of the people who eventually formed the concom.[7] What is certain is that over the period from 2008-2010, relations between Dan Skunk and the organizing committee became increasingly acrimonious.
- July 2008 - An event called the Islington Furmeet was created by KI Wind and Dan Skunk, which is claimed to have demonstrated the potential viability of a convention in the area. Dan claims to have made several trips to meet with possible hotels and convention centers in the summer of 2008,[8] to which FE staff have responded, "We have emails from Dan ... in which he states that the original ideas and proposals for the con effort that eventually led to FE, including the suggestion for the hotel that eventually was selected, were not (as he now claims) his ideas, and he ascribes them specifically to others. He did help to promote these ideas and deserves credit for that."[7]
- Late 2008 - ShiroTora began a discussion on the TorFur Mailing List about holding a convention.[8] A 17-year-old name Sparrow offered $5000, and another donor (later identified by Dan Skunk as Blindsight) offered to get things started, even though there had yet to be any guarantee of an event.[9] Dan has claimed that by December 2008, this monetary offer allowed him to "[gather] the financial resources needed to start the convention", after which he "started a discussion ... inviting others to become involved with the project",[10] and that himself and three others "had financial support, organizers, and had found a venue and had created a forum."[11] What is definitively acknowledged by both sides is that Dan created a message board to explore the project on his website and forum, Ontario Furries.
- February 2009 - The message board attempted to determine the convention date and its staff members by nomination, poll and popular vote. Potoroo, the con chair of Feral, posted a harsh criticism to the board, and the debate attracted the attention of Crush! Yiff! Destroy!.[12] In the staff member poll, Dan Skunk received one of the lowest amounts of support (54.3%),[13] and suggested the threshold be set at 50% to indicate organizational involvement.[8]
- March 2009 - Morgan held a furry dinner gathering at the Duke of Devon Pub, during which the convention was also discussed. Dan claims that prior to this meet, he had "made an open invitation for people to join an organizing committee for the convention", that he "started the first discussions with the founding committee", that this dinner was the first in-person committee meeting, and that he had organized it, "coinciding with a furmeet there run by Morgan".[8] By mid-March, a private mailing list was created to take a more practical approach to organizing the convention, and to move the discussion away from the drama on the message board. Pakesh De was chosen as the head of the committee, and would later become co-chair of the convention with Blindsight.
- June 2009 - the committee registered a corporation called Anthropomorphic Events of Ontario, which included Dan Skunk as one of the initial directors.[7] However, six weeks later on July 20, Dan Skunk, Danruk and Sparrow were voted out by the other members.[14] FE claims the reason for the dismissal was that "as the FE team began to shake itself out and make serious decisions, it became clear that [Dan's] continued involvement would have resulted in the dissolution of the concom."[7]
- Since then, Dan Skunk has openly discussed his disagreements over the voting process and the organizational decisions made by concom; he has expressed his viewpoints on LiveJournal, Ontario Furries and WikiFur. FE has claimed that Dan's comments "...have been almost universally and unfairly critical of the convention; this has hampered our efforts to promote the event."[7]
- In contrast, Dan has claimed he "continued supporting the convention through [my] web site ... giving them constructive criticism on their management ...",[8] and that this was "a gesture of goodwill towards the success of the convention, and to prove my value to [its] success ... Instead, the recommendations were met with contempt and derision from the convention's remaining organizers. The wholesale rejection of these recommendations, to me, showed that the success of the convention and service to the community was secondary to the organizers recieving personal recognition for their efforts."[15] However, Dan Skunk's WikiFur edits have similarly been viewed as self-promoting or self-aggrandizing,[16][17] an assumption not entirely without merit, given that Dan's edits at the time of Sept. 11, 2011 about himself, Ontario Furries and Furnal Equinox contain no less than 42 mentions of his own name.
- April 2010 - A month after the first Furnal Equinox had been held, Dan deleted its forum from the Ontario Furries website, and some of the FE staff members were banned. In July 2010, an editing war broke out on FE's WikiFur page. Although Dan had been briefly acknowledged in FE's conbook, he wanted the WikiFur page to better reflect his involvement. Both sides have since accused the other of mis-stating the facts, and from Dan Skunk's point of view, making insults and slander.[18]
- During the editing war, Dan called for an outright boycott of the convention,[8] adding that its supporters were not welcome on his message board. Following this development, the chairs of FE posted an official statement,[7] and the What The Fur convention severed their relations with Ontario Furries.[19]
- August 2010 - The call for a boycott was contentious enough that Echelon (who hosted Ontario Furries), deleted the site and invited all the users to a new site, www.canadianfurries.ca, [8]. Some members of Toronto's furry fandom, dissatisfied with Ontario Furries, had initially moved to another forum in early 2010 at torfurs.com which was run by Shane.
- Late 2010 - Ontariofurs.com was established by Smash Meerkat which attracted more members.
- 2011 - Torfurs.com closed down and redirected to ontariofurs.com. Dan set up a domain at furnalequinox.org to state his viewpoints and continues to host Ontario Furries under a new provider.
- August 2013 - Dan Skunk removed all bans against Furnal Equinox from Ontario Furries. No announcement was made.

And now for some news from Bizarro World
The concept of Bizarro World was bequeathed to Western civilization by Superman comics. In Bizarro world, everything is askew or backwards.
Here is a piece from a well-known real-life parallel of Bizarro World: the Russian newspaper Pravda. If you had any doubts about the Cold War having really ended, or of Russia's growing interest in its former colony of Castrolandia, just read this piece. According to Pravda, there is a media campaign against the Castro regime. And leading the way is the Miami Herald, along with American think tanks. Yeah. Like the Lexington Institute and the Council on Foreign Relations.
Next thing you know, it will be the New York Times. And what would Herbert Matthews have to say about this from his cubicle in the Bizarro hereafter?
From Pravda, Russia's own MSNBC
Undeclared media war against Cuba in full swing
The United States wage the undeclared media war against Cuba non-stop. At every opportunity, an order comes from the think tank team in major Western agencies and the media begins to unfold the news spotted with the words "dissident", "opposition", "insurgent", "regime", "democratic forces", and the "international community."
A clear example of this information war is a recently fabricated "desertion" to the U.S. of a daughter of the "architect" of Cuban reform and the tragic death in a car accident of the main "dissident" of the country. This war is a part of the ideological war launched by the intelligence of the U.S. and Europe through various NGOs and party structures in order to achieve the overthrow of the unwanted "regime of the Castro brothers." A few days ago in the Western mass media information emerged about the daughter of Raul Castro's likely successor, the deputy chairman of the Council of Ministers of Cuba, Marino Murillo, fleeing to the U.S.
The mouthpiece of the information war, a Spanish-language newspaper El Nuevo Herald, reported that they were not able to contact Glenda Murillo Diaz, but, according to her boyfriend, she is seeking asylum because she is "dissatisfied with the course of the Castro regime." The news was quickly replicated in the right context, including in the Russian media. Nobody even thought about the fact that the daughter of a state servant does not need to ask for political asylum as she can live abroad indefinitely and her freedom of movement and other freedoms are in no way limited, including in monetary terms.
Later, there was a single piece of news that the information about the fleeing from Cuba has not been confirmed by neither her relatives in Cuba nor the United States, but no one cared, because the goal was achieved - discredited member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of Cuba and the third person in the state.
Even more brazen campaign was launched in the western media upon a car accident resulting in the death of the "chief dissident", leader of the Christian Liberation Movement (MCL) Osvaldo Paya. The accidental death was turned into a doing of the "evil dictatorship" and "communist military junta" that organized the murder of "the most outstanding figures of the political opposition against the totalitarian regime." In an editorial the newspaper Granma stated that after July 22, the Western media published over 900 articles on the subject and there were about 120 thousand messages on social networks, where the tragedy was covered with similar vocabulary.

Lemon Dam
Lemon Dam is a zoned earthfill structure with a structural height of 284 feet and a crest length of 1,360 feet. The dam embankment has a maximum base width of 1,170 feet, a crest width of 30 feet, and contains a volume of 3,042,000 cubic yards of earth and rock materials.
The spillway is on the right abutment of the dam and consists of an approach channel, concrete inlet structure, concrete ogee crest section, open concrete chute, concrete stilling basin, and outlet channel discharging into the Florida River. The design capacity of the spillway is 9,600 cubic feet per second.
The outlet works is also in the right abutment of the dam and consists of an approach channel, a concrete intake structure, and a concrete-lined tunnel gate chamber for two 2.25-foot-square high pressure gates. The 9-foot horseshoe-shaped tunnel has a design capacity of 910 cubic feet per second.
Lemon Reservoir is approximately 0.5 mile wide and 3 miles long with a surface area of 622 acres. The total capacity is 40,146 acre-feet, of which 39,030 acre-feet are active conservation.
Lemon Dam is constructed on bedrock of the Cutler Formation (Lower Perian) consisting of red to gray calcareous siltstone, shale and sandstone with interbedded limestone. The bedrock is highly fractured and fissile and the shale interbeds readily slack when exposed to air. The dip of the bedrock beneath the dam is approximately 10 degrees to the south. Reconstruction drill hole data indicates that some of the limestone intererbeds contain solution channels. Foundation treatment consisted of a grout curtain, with a minimum depth of 160 feet across the valley floor and up both abutments, and a cutoff trench (1.5:1 side slopes) within the limits of the Zone 1 core and extending 5 feet into bedrock or to a minimum base depth of 30 feet. The trench was excavated to a 10-foot width in siltstone below the old river channel at elevation 7,883. The reservoir is in a narrow valley that is approximately half a mile wide and three miles long. It has a maximum storage capacity of 40,146 acre-feet with a surface area of 622 acres at a water surface elevation of 8,148 feet. The reservoir appears to be watertight since the siltstone and shale bedrock and randomly sorted glacial till are relatively impervious. Several northwesterly trending normal faults, downdropped to the north have been identified around the edge of the reservoir. There are no topographic of glomorphic indications that these faults are active. Where observed, the fault planes are tight and filled with a clay gouge that restricts the movement of water from the reservoir.

In this week of faithful celebration, President Barack Obama used his address to offer his holiday greeting and to call on people of all faiths and nonbelievers to remember our shared spirit of humanity.

President Barack Obama to deliver his State of the Union address tonight
by Chris Prevatt •
When Mr. Obama presents his first State of the Union address on Wednesday evening, aides said he would accept responsibility, though not necessarily blame, for failing to deliver swiftly on some of the changes he promised a year ago. But he will not accede to criticism that his priorities are out of step with the nation's.

by Chris Prevatt •
In his weekly address, President Obama said the jobs numbers released yesterday indicate that the job loss trend is improving, but that his administration remains committed to accelerating these trends and putting more Americans back to work. Next week, the President will announce additional ideas about growing the economy and adding jobs to our economy.
Unemployment Rate Slowed in November

In a hopeful jobs report before the holidays, the nation's unemployment rate eased to 10% in November from 10.2 % in October, and the number of workers on payrolls was essentially unchanged last month, the Labor Department said today.

I always wanted to know this, and I already know that I wont find my answers here or from any particular person but I thought this would still be a subject we could discuss.
Stephanie - that is all
Santino will take over and be the greatest Chair of the Boardman of all the times.
With Shane no longer interested(or so it seems), Steph and Haitch are the logical heirs as I'm sure Vince would love to see the family dynasty to continue. Of course, in true Vince fashion he could bequeath the whole thing to anyone that took his alzheimers ridden brain's fancy. My feeling is he will hold onto the throne for as long as he can, his ego won't allow him to step down.
Very good question! I have always wondered this and my thoughts are this.... Shane would come back into the fold and together with Stephanie and HHH, keep the legacy of WWE alive. Certain changes would be made in terms of firings and storylines and sponsorship/tv rights as I dont feel they would be as ruthless as Vince has been. I reckon there would be a couple of people working in the WWE that would try and stamp their authority and feel that Steph and Shane would be a pushover, but i believe they would be in for a rude shock with seeing just how ruthless they could be also.
Wait...u mean that Vince can die???? I guess if someday that does happen, then Triple H will run the show.
HHH and Steph will most likely will take over. Shane is helping out his wife with her company I believe.
A group of us was discussing this a few weeks back and we all thought Shane would. We know he's doing his own thing right now but maybe thats the reason.... do it now before old mac kicks it because i think he'd be very hands on and be a pretty much every show so not have much time for anything else. H and Steph will definatly play a major role!!!
Or could it be is Basterd Hornswaggle?lol

What's on
Asda helps raise money for Tommy's, the baby charity
publication date: Jan 13, 2010
Over the next week alone, 1,680 women will miscarry and 56 babies will be born prematurely in England and Wales – the highest rate in Western Europe. Yet medical research into pregnancy complications has traditionally received little funding in the UK. That's why, since its inception in 1992, Tommy's has been determined to create a pregnancy research network of worldwide importance but it can only do this thanks to the fundraising efforts of the public and companies like Asda.
Not only can shoppers enjoy amazing discounts in store on all their baby and toddler needs, they can also pick up the exclusive Peppa Pig Bag for Life (£2) and Peppa and George plush key rings (£2) in aid of Tommy's.
Every penny that Asda raises goes to fund Tommy's scientific research into the causes and prevention of miscarriages, premature birth and stillbirth and its vital free pregnancy information line.
And last year the public helped Asda raise a fantastic £400,000 for Tommy's and it needs your help again this year to make sure this vital research continues – so get shopping!

Tristran Thorn grows up in the English village of Wall unaware that his mother was from the Fairy land beyond the town's titular barrier.

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 12/17/12
BALTIMORE -- The Denver Broncos are on fire. The Baltimore Ravens are starting to feel some heat. Broncos cornerback Chris Harris returned an interception 98 yards for a touchdown, and Eric Decker caught a 51-yard touchdown pass, leading Denver to a 34-17 rout over the Ravens in front of 71,317 at M&T Bank Stadium. Peyton Manning went 17-for-28 for 204 yards and a touchdown, Knowshon Moreno ran for 118 yards and a score, and Decker added eight catches for 133 yards for Denver. The Broncos (11-3) earned their ninth victory in a row, tied for the third-longest winning streak in team history. "We just try to get better every week," Broncos coach John Fox said. "We're not measuring ourselves now. Right now, our guys have responded very well to just improving every week, and we've kept it as simple as that." The Ravens (9-5) fell to 0-3 in December. They've dropped consecutive home games for the first time since 2007, but they still hold a one-game lead in the AFC North wit...

I'd like to second this opinion (FWIW: not a "me too", just a

text: This is another must do. It can be done as a day trip or an overnighter. Cascade Canyon is one of the most beautiful parts of the park in my opinion. You get amazing views of the mountains, awesome wildflower filled meadows, the crystal clear Cascade Creek, and a lot of wildlife, and great camping spots. To get on the trail, take the shuttle boat across Jenny Lake to the West-shore boat dock. If you haven't seen Hidden Falls (or even if you have) take the short detour to check that out. The crowd will thin out dramatically after you pass Inspiration Point. Follow the trail 4.9 miles up Cascade Canyon unitl the junction where the trail splits into South and North Forks of Cascade Canyon. Take a right up the North Fork. Lake Solitude is 2.7 miles from this point.

Like most mid-1960s British rockers, the Kinks started out as an R&B group before they helped invent hard rock and ventured into sardonic, Beatles-inspired pop and refreshingly unpretentious rock opera with an English music-hall tinge. Ray Davies' biting lyrical wit and brother Dave's primal power chords proved an unbeatable and tremendously influential combination. For as long as the notoriously combative siblings could comfortably coexist, the Kinks continued to ply their intelligent brand of Brit-rock.
This compilation from one of the most influential bands in rock history is, like Neil Young's Decade, one of those rare summation packages that stands on its own in the discography. Released at a time in the early '70s when the Kinks, led by songwriter/vocalist Ray Davies and his guitarist brother Dave, were attempting to reestablish themselves with America after being banned for years, The Kink Kronikles still makes a strong case for the band's high place in the Rock Hierarchy. Assembled by longtime Kronicler John Mendelssohn, this isn't exactly a hits package, although you'll find mid-period staples like "Lola"; it's a shoulda-been-hits package. With essential B-sides ("Big Black Smoke"--the best in a long line of portraits of a tired Britain), album tracks (lots from Arthur, the band's cult 1969 rock opera), and ageless singles ("Dead End Street," "Waterloo Sunset"), this makes for an unusually dense and highly concentrated set of period must-owns. --Don Harrison

Dani Deahl Press PackBio, Photos, and More!
Nice lil' surprise in the inbox today in the form of this trapstep-ish grunge pop freebie from London-based vocalist Tiger La, an unsigned artist with not much bio to be found about her except some stuff about good previous feedback on earlier tunes (I read her short twitter feed to figure out she wasn't signed haaaa). This is nice and anthemy, darkly seductive from the top string melody to the creeper bass on the bottom, courtesy of production by Lux, who she used on this and her other latest tune.

Amaranthus dubius is belongs to the economically-important plant family Amaranthaceae. It is known by common names such as spleen amaranth.
Unlike grain amaranths, this species is eaten as a leafy vegetable.
It flowers from summer to fall in the tropics, but can flower throughout the year in subtropical conditions. It is usually found in waste places or disturbed habitats. It was introduced into Florida, the West Indies, South America, and naturalized locally in Europe, Asia, and Africa.
Amaranthus dubius is considered to be a morphologically deviant allopolyploid. It is very close genetically to Amaranthus spinosus and other Amaranthus species. It is believed to be an ancient hybrid of Amaranthus spinosus with either Amaranthus hybridus or Amaranthus quitensis.

The Top 20 Coolest Taxis in the World
Long before the advent of the internal combustion engine, someone came up with the idea of using a wheeled vehicle to carry people to where they wanted to go in exchange for money or some other form of payment. But if you ask us, it wasn't until the dawn of the automobile and its first use as wheels-for-hire that the taxi truly came of age. Today, motorized cabs are pretty much a part of the scenery in every major city on earth.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of taxis are based on plain, unexciting vehicles possessing as much soul as a washing machine filled with soybeans. However, if you want your fare to buy some flair, there are some decidedly enticing options out there. Not convinced? Check out these 20 cool cabs and get back to us.
Checker Marathon
No conversation about taxis is complete without at least one mention of the venerable Checker Marathon. Despite its 1950s styling, the Kalamazoo, Michigan built Marathon was actually introduced in 1961, and remained largely unchanged (aside from the switch to Continental straight-six engines to Chevrolet sixes and V8s in 1965) until the last one was made in 1982! Despite this (or maybe because of it), the Marathon managed to become the archetypal American cab.
Volkswagen Beetle
Considering its status as one of the most popular cars of all time, it's no surprise VW's first model has served as a taxi. And nowhere was it more prolific in serving as a taxi as it was in Mexico City. The city used to be crawling with green-and-white "Vochos"; now, just a handful are left, and all will be gone by January 1, 2013. Why? A new safety regulation requiring cabs to have four doors will go into effect then, and the Bugs will not be able to get their licenses renewed. No bueno.
Porsche Panamera Turbo
The Germans love their domestic auto industry, so much so that many of the Fatherland's taxis are sedans (and wagons) from BMW, Audi, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz. And there's at least one Porsche Panamera Turbo that's donned the rooftop sign and beige paint. We aren't sure how beneficial a booming twin-turbo V8 and AWD are in city traffic (or with a national speed limit for taxis of 75 mph), but the thought of a 500hp Porsche taxi does make us smile.
A staple of public transportation in Thailand, the tuk-tuk (derived from the sound these typically two-stroke-powered three wheelers make) is a vehicle that serves multiple roles. Not only does it carry passengers, but many tuk-tuks in Bangkok are used to deliver fresh produced to markets early in the morning. They aren't the fastest, roomiest or most comfortable taxis on the planet, but we think they're cool in the way they're taxis that have been distilled down to their most basic elements: Wheels. Engine. Seats. Meter.
Hindustan Ambassador
India's Hindustan Motors began building Series III Morris Oxfords under the Ambassador nameplate in 1958, and hasn't stopped since. And the Ambassador's parts availability, durability, simplicity and practicality have made it a favorite among the Subcontinent's cabbies almost since the first ones rolled out of the factory.
Maserati Quattroporte
Maserati can hardly be considered a blue collar car brand, so imagine our surprise when we saw this late model Quattroporte serving as a taxi in Wroclaw, Poland. We like to think its driver lets his fares hear some of the 4.7L V8's music as they watch the fourth largest city in Polska pass by their window. We know that's what we would do.
Italdesign Alfa Romeo New York Taxi
In the mid-1970s, there was a great deal of interest in reinventing the taxi into a stylish, space-efficient urban runabout. One of the companies that offered up a way to do this was Italdesign, the styling studio cofounded by Giorgetto Giugiaro. Using components and other assistance from Alfa Romeo, this boxy, min-minivan of sorts was drastically smaller than the typical New York City taxi of the era, and was also designed from the outset to be wheelchair compatible. Sadly, this stylish people mover never reached production, but more than a few of the ideas contained within it lived on in the first modern minivans of about a decade later.
Holden FC
Many American visitors to Australia in the late 1950s probably did double takes when they passed the taxi stands at the airport. They would see what looked a lot like 1955 Chevrolet 4-door sedans, but smaller. In actuality, these were FC-series Holdens, so the family resemblance to the first of the Tri-Five Chevys was exactly that: Familial. Even today, 52 years after the last FCs were built, Aussies still wax poetic about these classic workhorses (unless they're Ford fans, of course).
Maybach 62
While Daimler AG's (nee DaimlerChrysler's, nee Daimler-Benz's) revival of the Maybach brand was, by almost all metrics, an unmitigated flop, it did have one notable high point on its resume. A luxury taxi (Yes, there is such a thing) company in Moscow bought a Maybach 62 (the long wheelbase version) and pressed it into service for carting around wealthy residents of and visitors to Russia's capital. As far as we can tell, that's one claim Rolls-Royce and Bentley can't make.
Coco Taxi
Motorized rickshaws can be found in many parts of the world. As already pointed out, Thailand has the tuk-tuk, but Cuba has the Coco Taxi. Looking like Pac Man as drawn by a motorcycle nut hopped up on hallucinogens, these little runabouts are amusing ways to get around the capital city of Havana. Not amusing enough to make us renounce our U.S. citizenship so we can go there and ride in one, mind you, but amusing nonetheless.

Lagos — Two British law students could be jailed for up to five years for an alleged insurance scam.
Shanti Andrews and Rebecca Turner, both 23, were arrested last week in Rio de Janeiro accused of attempting to defraud their insurance firm by claiming they had been robbed.
The two backpackers reported they,d had £1,300 of belongings taken from them while travelling on a Brazilian bus.
When police raided the hostel they were staying in, some of the items reported stolen were found in their lockers.
Renato Tonini, lawyer for the two women, said they,d made a mistake over which items had been stolen.
,,They were robbed and the police only found a few of the items that they reported stolen in the hostel,,, Tonini said.
Simone Headley, Andrews, mother, urged Brazil,s legal authorities to act with ,,fairness and leniency.,,
Andrews and Turner who were held in a crowded Rio de Janeiro police station cell were later granted bail.
It was only recently that a bridegroom was jailed for 12 months for attempted insurance fraud on his wedding day.
Andrew Singh, 26, was sentenced with his parents at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court, United Kingdom, for making exaggerated insurance claims after wedding coaches booked to transport guests on his wedding day were involved in two collisions.
Graham Singh, 53, and Niramella Singh, 49, also received 12 month sentences.
The family had booked three coaches with Bury-based Hollins Travel for Andrew Singh,s wedding day in July 2004.
One coach was involved in a collision with a Toyota Celica on route to the wedding, whilst another collided with a wall at Chipping Village Hall car park.
Andrew and Graham Singh, along with 70 others, took legal action against Hollins, claiming injuries including whiplash.

JOPLIN, MO.--- Area runners lace-up to participate in the Show Me State Games Torch Run. The torch made a stop in Joplin today. About 20 runners carried it from Spiva Park in downtown Joplin, along Main Street, then to Cunningham Park. Organizers say the torch run is a way to build awareness for the Show Me State Games held in Columbia later this year. The games are an Olympic-style sports festival that offers more than 40 events in both individual and team competitions for all ages.
"It was originally started to help build awareness for a healthy lifestyle, physical fitness, fun, safe competition, and that's still the focus today almost 30 years later," said Ann Hargis, Shelter Insurance Companies.
Mayor Melodee Colbert-Kean proclaimed April 9th, 2014 as Show Me State Game Days in Joplin.

Prey 2 Countdown site Appears
a mysterious countdown site has appeared going by the name of "Alien Noire". Some NeoGAF members have dissected the source code, which appears to unveil Prey 2 in about three weeks.
The information in the source code contains the tags: Prey, Prey 2, Prey2, FPS, Bethesda Softworks, Human Head Studios, Alien Noire – all traces of which have been since edited out of the source code.
The bottom of the Page also reads: "Tommy needs your help," and the domain is listed under: The Collective -17677 S. Muskogee Ave – Tahlequah, Oklahoma.
All of this information makes sense if you played the original Prey on the Xbox 360. Prey's main character, Tommy, is a Cherokee, and the actual real- life town of Tahlequah, is the capital city for the two federally recognized Cheorkee tribes in Oklahoma. And if that wasn't enough, Tommy lives on a reservation in Tahlequah in the game.
The symbols in the teaser site, look like they will form the word Prey 2 when the countdown ends. Hopefully this is legit, I played the original Prey on the Xbox 360, 7 years ago. I was looking forward to Prey 2 but the game has been having some issues.

We haven't heard much from Marissa Mayer, one of Google's highest-profile executives, since she left her longtime job as vice president of search products last October to become vice president of location and local services. Some saw that as a demotion, though it's clear that Google is putting an especially heavy emphasis on local commerce and advertising. So, hoping she will reveal a bit more of what she has been and will be doing in the red-hot local e-commerce and ad markets, I'll be watching Mayer's fireside chat with Mike Arrington at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference in New York today. Here's what she has to say:
Q: What's Google like now with Larry Page as CEO? Mayer: Google's always been focused on the user, and Larry even more so. The other thing that's happened is we had projects that started small like Chrome and Android that are now large. There's a lot of optimism. A lot of energy.
Q: Is it good for competition and the industry that there's Facebook, Bing, and other significant competitors? Mayer: It causes everyone to work that much harder and get that much better.
Q: What are you doing now? Mayer: I'm VP of Maps and Local (guess her title has changed a bit?).
Q: Is Google scraping other sites' content for its Place pages? Mayer: People expect results to be comprehensive. So we want to get people really good data when they search for local information. It's really meant to be a directory. There's not enough information there to make a decision… so you go to the reviews and other sites.
Q: Is Google going to show only its own reviews once it gets enough of them? Mayer: Today we aren't getting a lot of [our own] long-form reviews. (So I guess not, for a while at least).
Q: What are Google brands that matter going forward? There's so many, I'm confused. Mayer: We're really trying to streamline that. Not as many separate brands like Hotpot, etc. There's Maps and there's Local. Maps is the geospatial location and it should be personalized. Places is the local side of it, the textual and descriptive side. Those are really the two big pillars in this space.
Q: How are things going on the mobile side? Mayer: Great. We just crossed the 200 million installs on Google Maps for Local. About 40% of our traffic for Maps is mobile. More on the weekends, could cross permanently in June.
Q: What's your goal to be successful in the next year? Mayer: Get you places you want to go or didn't know you want to go. Enhancing our data. On the very far reaches, I'm starting to look at contextual discovery: Can we figure out from your context just the right information you're likely to want without searching for it. Like if you walk into a restaurant that your friend went to last week, maybe you could see what they ordered.
Q: What are you personally investing in besides Square and One Kings Lane? Mayer: Also Minted, Gene Security Network. I've been active as an angel for a little while. It's fun. I love watching how companies go through the growth phase, and helping them get through that. I'm not on Angel List or anything like that.
And that's it. Well, not much there, sorry to say. You'll get more on what Mayer and Google are planning for the local market here.

Buffalo meat is a tasty alternative to beef. Their milk is very rich and creamy. It makes beautiful cheese, ice-cream and milkshakes.
* Buffalo are a BSE & TSE Free species
* Cooks like finest quality beef
Reared in large straw bedded yards, or grassy paddocks, the young buffalo are fed on a completely natural diet of hay, straw, a blend of GM free cereals or grass from clover rich pastures. No meat, bone or fish meals are fed to our buffaloes. Every attention is paid to the animal's welfare. From baby calves to the day they leave the farm, no growth promoting hormones are used, nor antibiotics administered to any animal bearing the quality assured seal of Laverstoke Park. Free from the worries of BSE, antibiotic residue, Buffalo Meat is a natural choice for all those who still enjoy eating meat.
Buffalo is full flavoured and tender. It can be prepared much the same way as beef without special handling.
Laverstoke Park Farm is now producing the first serious organic buffalo mozzarella in the UK; nothing is added to lengthen the shelf life – it is simply made with buffalo milk fresh from the dairy. Almost zero food miles as well.
