January 8, 1918, President Woodrow Wilson gave his now-famous "Fourteen Points for Peace" Address.
His battle to gain acceptance for, and support of, a "League of Nations" was an uphill battle, made more difficult following the compromises Wilson made in Paris, working toward finalizing the Treaty of Versailles.
From Woodrow Wilson by H.W. Brands:
Wilson's campaign for the league continued upon his arrival in America. Some of his advisers urged him to adopt a conciliatory stance toward the skeptics of the treaty. House urged him to seek common ground; if he showed the senators the same consideration he had shown Lloyd George and Clemenceau, House said, all would be well. Wilson replied that the time for conciliation was past. "I have found that one can never get anything in this life that is worthwhile without fighting for it," he declared.
On July 10 Wilson personally delivered the treaty to the Senate (breaking another long-standing tradition). Despite a torrential rain that day, the gallery of the upper chamber was jammed with onlookers eager to see the president take on his opponents. Lodge escorted Wilson in. "Mr. President," he said, "can I carry the treaty for you?" "Not on your life," Wilson responded."
As he physically laid the treaty out for inspection, Wilson summarized what it contained—and what it meant. He reminded his listeners that the United States had entered the war upon a different basis than had the other opponents of Germany. "We entered it, not because our material interests were directly threatened or because any special treaty obligations to which we were parties had been violated, but only because we saw the supremacy, and even the validity, of right everywhere put in jeopardy and free government everywhere imperiled…. We entered the war as the disinterested champions of right." Lodge and some of the senators might have objected here, recalling that the sinking of American ships was what had prompted them to vote for war. But this was Wilson's moment, and they kept still. The president asserted the United States had negotiated the peace in the same way it had fought the war, as the disinterested champion of right. And America must remain the champion of right. "There can be no question of our ceasing to be a world power. The only question is whether we can refuse the moral leadership that is offered us, whether we shall accept or reject the confidence of the world." Wilson's peroration must have stirred even those it didn't convince.
The stage is set, the destiny disclosed. It has come about by no plan of our conceiving, but by the hand of God who led us into this way. We cannot turn back. We can only go forward, with lifted eyes and freshened spirit, to follow the vision. Itwas of this that we dreamed at our birth. America shall in truth show the way. The light streams upon the path ahead, and nowhere else.
Lodge knew he couldn't match Wilson's eloquence, and he didn't try. Instead he employed a strategy of delay and sapping. He read the entire treaty, word by word, slowly and aloud, killing two weeks. He held hearings whose purpose was less to enlighten than to take more time, on the premise that the enthusiasm for the treaty must diminish as America's attention turned from the peace conference lately concluded to the affairs of ordinary life now resumed. He entertained amendments to the treaty by the dozens, then the scores-some reasonable, some transparently obstructive.
Wilson countered by opening the doors of the White House to the senators, inviting them to drop by any morning with questions or comments. He held more formal sessions with groups of senators, including one full morning with Lodge and the Foreign Relations Committee. In these meetings he made clear that he could accept the idea of interpretive reservations to the treaty: statements by the Senate of its understanding of particular clauses and articles. But he could not accept substantive amendments to the treaty itself Amendments would require the approval of the other parties to the treaty; recalling how difficult the closing phases of the Paris conference had been, the president feared that any resumption of negotiations would cause the entire treaty to unravel.
Wilson had hoped for a quick vote on the treaty; when Lodge succeeded in stalling into September, with little prospect of a vote before October or November, the president decided to take his case to the people. Abandoning Washington, he headed west on a cross-country speaking tour on behalf of the treaty and the league. Had he held office a decade hence, he could have addressed the nation by radio; four decades hence, by television. But in 1919 the only way he could let America hear his voice was to visit America personally.
January 10, 1920, the League of Nations came into effect—without ratification from the United States.
Though the United States had not joined the League (and never would), President Wilson was honored as a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1920, "in recognition of his Fourteen Points peace program and his work in achieving inclusion of the Covenant of the League of Nations in the 1919 Treaty of Versailles."

The following are the audio clips and text to speeches given by three senators, on different sides of the League of Nations debate.
Senator Gilbert Hitchcock case against "Senators who oppose the League of Nations."
Listen (click here) or read text from the speech.
The trouble with Senators who oppose the League of Nations is that they are thinking of the days that are gone and gone forever. The conquering empires of the world have been wiped out. The fall of Russia and Germany and Austria-Hungary removed from the world the last representatives of the conquering spirit and of autocratic power. The world is now democratic. Senators should cease to turn their eyes to the past and should turn them to the future, and see what we have before us.
The spirit of democracy has come into its own. We have come into a new world. We are about to organize the democracies of the earth to establish law and order among the nations. And we can do it now for the first time in the history of the world. We need take in no despots. We need take into consideration no conquering empire. That day has gone, and we have come into a new era. The senators should realize it. Let them grasp the fact that the spirit of the age is to end conquest. That the spirit of the age is to have the people rule. That the spirit of the age is that government shall be content to serve their own people and not to despoil others. Let them see the New World as it is, and the new spirit which inspires it. Let them appreciate the fact that humanity is not willing to sacrifice itself further, that men and women demand of their government that as the fruit of this terrible war an agreement shall be entered into for the preservation of world peace in the future. If senators will turn from the past towards the future, they will behold a new heaven and a new earth, not a millennium perhaps, but a world in which the affairs of nations are to be administered in justice and reason and humanity. A world in which the chief affair of government shall be peace and development and progress. A world in which man shall attain its highest destiny and happiness. This was impossible in the days of tyrants and autocrats and conquerors, but it is possible in the new age of liberty, statesmanship, and philanthropy.
The late war cost seven million lives, and millions more of cripples. It has destroyed hundreds of towns, it has widowed millions of wives, it has brought in its train the inevitable consequences of war, pestilence, and famine. One of the war diseases alone has cost this country over three hundred thousand lives of the civilian population. It has let loose and inflamed the passions and lusts of man, and crushed and humiliated millions of women. Massacre, torture, and assassinations have accompanied it. Law and order have been overthrown. Bolshevism and anarchy have been profligated. The confidence of men in government has been shaken. It will never be restored until governments devise some way to end war. The League of Nations is that way.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge's case against Wilson's League of Nations
Listen (click here) or read the text from the speech.
I am as anxious as any human being can be to have the United States render every possible service to the civilization and the peace of mankind. But I am certain that we can do it best by not putting ourselves in leading strings, or subjecting our policies and our sovereignty to other nations. The independence of the United States is not only more precious to ourselves, but to the world, than any single possession.
Look at the United States today. We have made mistakes in the past; we have had shortcomings. We shall make mistakes in the future and fall short of our own best hopes. But nonetheless, is there any country today on the face of the earth which can compare with this in ordered liberty, in peace, and in the largest freedom? I feel that I can say this without being accused of undue boastfulness, for it is a simple fact. And in taking on these obligations, all that we do is in the spirit of unselfishness, and it is a desire for the good of mankind. But it is well to remember that we are dealing with nations, every one of which has a direct individual interest to serve, and there is grave danger in an unshared idealism. Contrast the United States with any country on the face of the earth today and ask yourself whether the situation of the United States is not the best to be found.
I will go as far as anyone in world service that the first step to world service is the maintenance of the United States. You may call me selfish if you will, conservative or reactionary, or use any other harsh adjective you see fit to apply. But an American I was born, an American I've remained all my life. I can never be anything else but an American, and I must think of the United States first. And when I think of the United States first in an arrangement like this, I am thinking of what is best for the world. For if the United States fails, the best hopes of mankind fail with it. I have never had but one allegiance; I cannot divide it now. I have loved but one flag and I cannot share that devotion and give affection to the mongrel banner invented for a league. Internationalism, illustrated by the Bolshevik and by the men to whom all countries are alike, provided they can make money out of them, is to me repulsive. National I must remain and in that way I, like all other Americans, can render the amplest service to the world.
The United States is the world's best hope, but if you fetter her in the interest through quarrels of other nations, if you tangle her in the intrigues of Europe, you will destroy her powerful good, and endanger her very existence. Leave her to march freely through the centuries to come, as in the years that have gone. Strong, generous, and confident, she has nobly served mankind. Beware how you trifle with your marvelous inheritance — this great land of ordered liberty. For if we stumble and fall, freedom and civilization everywhere will go down in ruin.
Secretary of War Newton D. Baker's case for the League of Nation
Listen (click here) or read the text:
The speculated doubt and the fears of the timid with regard to the treaty and the League of Nations have now all been discussed. The great document which the president brought back from Paris has been analyzed and dissected in the cold atmosphere of higher criticism, but little has been said about the life of the document itself, the necessity for a new order in our diplomatic and international relations. One might almost suppose from the discussion that the literary merits of the paper were the chief points of interest.
Meantime, it is necessary to remember that the lack of such a league in 1914 threw the world into the chaos of this war. Terrified statesmen endeavored to sustain the delicately poised balance of power. They ran here and there, uttering their oldtime cautions and speaking with pathetic diligence for what they called a formula that would compose the mad impulses which were threatening to engulf the world. They failed because the means were not adapted to the ends — because in the modern world, things move too fast for the stagecoach diplomacy of the Middle Ages.
Had there been a League of Nations then, could Sir Edward Grey have summoned into conference the authoritative representatives of the great civilized powers, and through them have focused the intelligence and the conscience of mankind on the Austrio-Serbian quarrel? There would have been gained the priceless moment of meditation which would have enabled the heady currents of racial and national passion to be allayed. Today there would be in all in the devastated countries of the world that calm progress which a continuation of peaceful civilization ensures. Billions of wealth, now utterly lost and destroyed, would still be in existence to comfort and enrich the life of nations, and millions of men, women, and children, gunned to death in battle, or carried away by famine and pestilence, would still be alive to enjoy the normal portion of human happiness and to contribute by their labor and their love to the making of a better world. The four horsemen of the apocalypse rode abroad in the world, taking their toll among the fairest and best of the children of men, only because their was no bridle, no League of Nations to restrain their wild and destructive force.
The question of this hour therefore is not whether a classically phrased and inerrant document has been drawn, but whether the fairest hope of men shall be realized. If we have but the goodness and the faith necessary to make any league of nations work, we can make this one work. The people will furnish the faith, if the statesmen will but stand aside. Thus only can we match our works with the devotion of our soldiers, and gather for their children the fruits of their sacrifice and their victories.

Meal/Course - Dessert
This recipe and others can be found in the article "In Hawaii, Barbecue Means a Luau" by Mike Stines, Ph.B.
Peaches are the leading deciduous fruit crop grown in Texas and it is estimated that there are more than one million trees planted statewide. Average annual production exceeds one million bushels. Some of the best peaches I've ever eaten are grown in the Hill Country outside of Austin and San Antonio. They are so important there that a Hill Country Fruit Council has been established to guide tourists to the best orchards. Here's how to use them in a wonderful dessert. From the article "Perfectly Pungent Peaches" by Dave DeWitt here.
Central Texas is Hill Country, which produces the habaneros, pecans, and peaches that are used in this recipe. This cooked salsa is an example of the New Southwestern style of cooking, and it would accompany grilled chicken or fish. From the article "Perfectly Pungent Peaches" by Dave DeWitt here.
Here's a perfect holiday dessert. Serve with coffee laced with Jack Daniel's or hot chocolate.
This citrus delight is simple to prepare and and just tart enough to complement the sweet-hot glaze. It is also nice when made in a bundt pan. Read more spicy holiday cake recipes by Dave DeWitt here.
This refreshing drink originated in India, where it is often served for dessert after a meal of fiery hot curries. Fruits such as pineapple, strawberries, peaches, or pineapples may be added to or substituted for the mango.
Mangos and coconut milk are meant for each other, and sticky rice is the icing on the cake. Try to get yellow-skinned "Manila" mangos if you can—the flavor is stronger and more acidic than the green and red-skinned South American varieties.
Most pumpkin pies use canned solid-packed pumpkin, which gives the end product that nice smoothness we've all come to appreciate. The flesh you scrape out of a large pumpkin is more akin to wet pasta than what you find in a can. No one likes runny pumpkin pie. Luckily, my friend Sam had some experience dealing with scavenged pumpkin meat. On his advice, I strained the pumpkin through some cheese cloth and let it dry until it was damp but not wet, then pureed it until I had the 2 cups called for in the recipe.

This microwave version of peanut brittle is easier to prepare than most, but be sure to use a large bowl to keep the mixture from boiling over as the volume increases. The green chile heat is a nice complement to the sweet brittle.

remains open. Most wounds that require closure should be stitched or closed
with skin adhesives (also called liquid stitches) within 6 to 8 hours after the
injury. Some wounds that require treatment can be closed as long as 24 hours
after the injury.

Open-source ECM tool nears release

The London-based company said the software, also called Alfresco, is one of the first nonproprietary examples of enterprise content management (ECM) products, which help a large company automatically keep track of all its data, smoothing search and indexing activities.
Alfresco was started in January by John Newton, co-founder of ECM provider Documentum, and John Powell, former chief operating officer of business intelligence firm Business Objects.
Newton said he decided to move on from his career in the proprietary software industry, because he thinks open source is one of the best approaches when setting up an international software company in the current economic climate.
"I had chosen to live in Britain and, looking at what succeeds in Europe right now, I realized that open source was one of few things that can create a global market," Newton said during an interview at the JBoss World conference in Barcelona on Tuesday.
The Alfresco product emulates a file system on top of the content management system (CMS) repository. It automatically processes the information into files and adds metadata, so information can be found using Google-like searches. Since the system simply requires people to save files, companies can get data from those who refuse to use traditional CMS interfaces, Newton said.
"What companies struggle with is that the end users who know the most avoid content management systems, as they don't want to fill in forms. These are some of the most valuable people in a company--for example, investment bankers or scientists in a pharmaceutical company. These users avoid the system and go straight to a shared file system," Newton said.
Alfresco is already being installed by "several customers," Newton said, but he was unwilling to name them. He did say that one was a "well-known high-street name in the U.K." that has 2,500 employees and is rolling out the product across its entire business. The preview release of the product was downloaded 25,000 times in the two months after its June release, he said.
The project has also attracted a number of contributors who have helped with testing, developing and translating the product. The voluntary translation work has been particularly useful, Newton said.
"They have contributed translations of the software in ways that we couldn't possibly manage," Newton said. "As soon as we put the code out there, we had about a dozen languages, and people are adding new languages as we speak, including less common languages such as Vietnamese and Armenian."
He said that translating software can be hard work for proprietary companies. For example, he explained that in the early days at Documentum, it took three to six months to translate software into another language.
Alfresco is not the only company to have found that working with the open-source community can be beneficial. Last year, software maker Netline claimed that its decision to open source its e-mail server platform reduced the development time for a new release by a factor of 10.
The Alfresco preview release can be downloaded from the company's Web site.

Stajan scores in OT, lifts Flames over Sharks
CALGARY, Alberta Matt Stajan scored 4:20 into overtime, and Jarome Iginla reached 30 goals as the Calgary Flames beat the San Jose Sharks 3-2 on Tuesday night in a pivotal Western Conference matchup.
In the final minute of overtime, the Flames came in on a 2-on-1 break and executed it perfectly. Blake Comeau sent a pass across to Stajan, who scored his fifth of the season into an open side.
Sven Baertschi also scored for the Flames (33-25-12), who have won four straight.
Logan Couture scored his 29th and 30th goals for San Jose (34-25-10). Despite having just one win in seven games (1-3-3), the Sharks have moved into eighth place in the Western Conference.
Calgary and Colorado are even with the Sharks at 78 points, but San Jose has one game in hand on Calgary and two on the Avalanche.
Couture tied it 1:22 into the third as the Sharks' third-ranked power play, after going 0-for-4 through the first two periods, converted with the extra man.
The second period has been troublesome for the Flames all season. Calgary has been outscored 79-56, but the Flames scored the only two in the frame on Tuesday and took a 2-1 lead.
Iginla's go-ahead goal came on an unusual play. Sharks defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic fired the puck up the side boards into open ice, but just as he released the puck, Mark Giordano stepped onto the ice after his penalty expired.
Giordano carried the puck into the Sharks' end, pulled up, and sent a cross-ice pass to Iginla, who one-timed a slap shot past goalie Antti Niemi.
Iginla reached 30 goals for the 11th straight season, a feat accomplished by only six others in NHL history: Wayne Gretzky, Phil Esposito, Bobby Hull, Marcel Dionne, Jaromir Jagr and Mike Gartner.
Iginla has scored goals in five straight games, and has at least one point (seven goals, five assists) in seven consecutive.
Curtis Glencross had his seven-game goal streak snapped on Tuesday. His bid to tie the Flames' franchise record, held by Gary Roberts (1993) and Kent Nilsson (1983), ended abruptly when he was given a boarding major and was ejected with 29 seconds left in the first period.
After getting dumped in the Sharks' end by Jason Demers, Glencross got up. As the San Jose defenseman went to play the puck near the boards, Glencross shoved him in the back, sending Demers face first into the glass.
The Sharks produced five shots on goal during the 5-minute power play but none were really dangerous. Shortly after the Flames returned to even strength, Baertschi tied it 1-1.
The speedy 19-year-old winger sent a pass to the corner to Roman Horak, who directed a shot on net. Niemi made the stop, but Baertschi pounced on the rebound and whipped a shot over Niemi's shoulder for his second goal in two games.
Baertschi, the 13th pick in last year's draft, has played three games for the Flames since being recalled a week ago from Portland of the Western Hockey League because of injuries.

Shirley Ann Jackson (born August 5, 1946) is an American physicist, and the 18th president of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. She received her Ph.D. in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1973, only the second African-American woman to earn a Ph.D. in physics in the United States.
Jackson began classes at MIT in 1964, one of fewer than twenty African American students and the only one studying theoretical physics. While a student she did volunteer work at Boston City Hospital and tutored students at the Roxbury YMCA. She earned her bachelor's degree in 1968, writing her thesis on solid-state physics.
Although accepted at Brown University, Harvard University, and the University of Chicago, Jackson elected to stay at MIT for her doctoral work, in part to encourage more African American students to attend the institution. She worked on elementary particle theory for her Ph.D., which she completed in 1973, the first African-American woman to earn a doctorate degree from MIT. Her research was directed by James Young.
As a postdoctoral researcher of subatomic particles during the 1970s, Jackson studied and conducted research at a number of prestigious physics laboratories in both the United States and Europe. Her first position was as research associate at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois (known as Fermilab) where she studied hadrons. In 1974 she became visiting scientist at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Switzerland. There she explored theories of strongly interacting elementary particles. In 1976 and 1977, she both lectured in physics at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center and became a visiting scientist at the Aspen Center for Physics.
At one time her research focused on [Landau-Ginsburg] theories of charge density waves in layered compounds, and has studied two-dimensional Yang-Mills gauge theories and neutrino reactions.
Jackson has described her interests:
"I am interested in the electronic, optical, magnetic, and transport properties of novel semiconductor systems. Of special interest are the behavior of magnetic polarons in semimagnetic and dilute magnetic semiconductors, and the optical response properties of semiconductor quantum-wells and superlattices. My interests also include quantum dots, mesoscopic systems, and the role of antiferromagnetic fluctuations in correlated 2D electron systems.
Jackson's area of interest in physics is the study of the subatomic particles found within atoms, the tiny units of which all matter is made. Subatomic particles, which are usually very unstable and short-lived, can be studied in several ways. One method is using a particle accelerator, a device in which nuclei are accelerated to high speeds and then collided with a target to separate them into subatomic particles. Another way of studying them is by detecting their movements using certain kinds of nonconducting solids. When some solids are exposed to high-energy particles, the crystal lattice structure of the atoms is distorted, and this phenomenon leaves marks or tracks that can be seen with an electron microscope. Photographs of the tracks are then enhanced, and by examining these photographs physicists like Jackson can make predictions about what kinds of particles have caused the marks.
Jackson joined the Theoretical Physics Research Department at AT&T Bell Laboratories in 1976, examining the fundamental properties of various materials. In 1978, Dr. Jackson became part of the Scattering and Low Energy Physics Research Department, and in 1988 she moved to the Solid State and Quantum Physics Research Department. At Bell Labs, Dr. Jackson researched the optical and electronic properties of two-dimensional and quasi-two dimensional systems. In her research, Dr. Jackson has made contributions to the knowledge of charged density waves in layered compounds, polaronic aspects of electrons in the surface of liquid helium films, and optical and electronic properties of semiconductor strained-layer superlattices. On these topics and others she has prepared or collaborated on over 100 scientific articles.
Jackson was faculty at Rutgers University in Piscataway and New Brunswick, New Jersey from 1991 to 1995, in addition to continuing to consult with Bell Labs on semiconductor theory. Her research during this time focused on the electronic and optical properties of two-dimensional systems.
In 1995, President Clinton appointed Jackson to serve as Chairman of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), becoming the first woman and first African American to hold that position. At the NRC, she had "ultimate authority for all NRC functions pertaining to an emergency involving an NRC licensee."
On July 1, 1999, Jackson became the 18th president of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. She was the first woman and first African-American to hold this position. Jackson is leading a strategic initiative called The Rensselaer Plan and much progress has been made towards achieving the Plan's goals. She enjoys the ongoing support of the RPI Board of Trustees. However, on April 26, 2006, the faculty of RPI, (including a number of retirees) voted 155 to 149 against a vote of no-confidence in Jackson. In the Fall of 2007, the Rensselaer Board of Trustees suspended the faculty senate prompting a strong reaction from the Rensselaer community that resulted in various protests including a "teach in.
Jackson has overseen a large capital improvement campaign, such as the construction of an Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center and the East Campus Athletic Village.
She has been elected to numerous special societies, including the American Physical Society and American Philosophical Society.
Her achievements in science and education have been recognized with multiple awards, including the CIBA-GEIGY Exceptional Black Scientist Award. In the early 1990s, Governor James Florio awarded her the Thomas Alva Edison Science Award for her contributions to physics and for the promotion of science. She has also received many honorary doctorate degrees.
She was inducted into National Women's Hall of Fame in 1998 for "her significant contributions as a distinguished scientist and advocate for education, science, and public policy". More recently she was named one of the 50 Most Important Women in Science by Discover magazine.
Jackson has also been active in professional associations and in serving society through public scientific commissions. In 1985, Governor Thomas Kean appointed her to the New Jersey Commission on Science and Technology. She is an active voice in numerous committees of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), and the National Science Foundation. Her continuing aim has been to preserve and strengthen the U.S. national capacity for innovation by increasing support for basic research in science and engineering, and by continuing to attract talent from abroad, while expanding the domestic talent pool by attracting women and members of under-represented groups into careers in science. In 2004 she became president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and chaired the AAAS board in 2005.
In spring 2007 she was awarded the Vannevar Bush Award for "a lifetime of achievements in scientific research, education and senior statesman-like contributions to public policy.
In 2008 Shirley Ann Jackson became the University Vice Chairman of the U.S. Council on Competitiveness.

Church of London showcase some creative hits as new events space opens
Taking stock is actually more difficult than it sounds and opinion ca be split between those who see it as essential strategic thinking for any organisation, and those who worry it smacks a little of navel-gazing. But for top creative agency The Church of London, the opening of their new east London space 71a was the perfect opportunity to look at what they're doing and what they've done. So much so that they called the inaugural exhibition What we're doing; What we've done, featuring a collection of some of the best visuals from their Little White Lies and Huck titles.
Proof if any were more were needed that The Church of London has rightly earned its reputation as an innovative and imaginative creative force. It will be fascinating to see how the new space extends and enhances their mission.
Here ends the reading.
What we're doing; What we've done runs until June 19

During the recent cold snap I inadvertently left a full bottle of sparkling wine outside the back door. It was frozen solid when I found it. I brought it inside and allowed it to defrost at room temperature. However, when defrosted, the bottle was no longer full (see photo, right). The bottle was corked and the cork was retained by a champagne-style wire cage. Both the cork and the wire appeared intact. Where has the missing wine gone?

Teen Mom
Chelsea Houska Parties Like a Rock Star!
Recap of Teen Mom 2 Season 4, Episode 10 (April 15, 2013)
The time has come to put on your favorite pair of Party Uggs, because Teen Mom 2's Chelsea Houska is celebrating her 21st birthday. OMG, guys, she's not a girl, not yet a woman. This is Britney Spears all over again!
There's no doubt that Chelsea has come a long way since popping Baby Aubree out of her lady parts at the tender age of 16 (sigh, those were the days...). Not only has Chelsea learned that bird feathers don't count as human hair, she's enrolled in beauty school, and she's finally over her baby daddy, Adam Lind. Girlfriend definitely deserves a drink. Or five.
Naturally, Chelsea has every intention of celebrating her birthday with friends and family, and she starts things off right by getting fake nails. Keep it classy, girlfriend! Of course, then Chel-Chel goes out to drinks with her besties to down some shots, but who should rain on her parade? The one and only Adam, who texts his baby mama in the midst of her bday extravaganza and accuses her of making out with a bunch of randoms. Um, jealous much, Adam?
In other news, Chelsea has once again moved into a new house, because as we all know she lives a double life as a professional squatter. Hopefully she doesn't have any evil canine neighbors this time. Sob, never forget.

Muscle Mustangs & Fast FordsFeatured Vehicles
1989 Ford Mustang GT and Destiny Monique - No Comparison
Dave And Brenda Comparan's '89 Mustang Is A Car All Its Own.
When it comes right down to it, every person who modifies a car throws his or her own spin on it, whether it's a different type of engine combination, a choice of paint color, or a stellar wheel and tire selection. Dave and Brenda Comparan are no different, and the time and effort the pair from Fontana, California, put into this '89 Mustang GT is proof positive. Take one clean Fox-body, throw some power at it, a host of interior and exterior upgrades, and you have a Mustang that has no comparison to any on the road.
Dave did all of the work himself, and it took seven years to get the Pony to his version of perfection. "The first time I saw my car, I had to have it," he says. "I was only 16 at the time, so I couldn't buy it myself. I told my dad about it, and he agreed that it was a great car, so he decided to help me buy it."
Dave kept the Fox-body mostly stock, save for an exhaust system. "After I met Brenda, we started racing the car at the track," he says. "It was at that time she convinced me to start modifying the car."
As most do, Dave began under the hood, where the venerable 302 small-block Ford resided. Not wanting to tear into the engine too much, he left the short-block as Ford designed it, keeping the bore and stroke dimensions intact, and the stock crank, rods, and pistons in place. The only changes made were the addition of Sealed Power main bearings and piston ring package, as well as the installation of a Ford high-volume oil pump, as longevity and higher power figures were on the horizon. The stock pan was graced with a Canton windage tray. A custom ground cam showcasing 0.600 inch on both the intake and exhaust sides was stuffed into the powerplant. The Ford Racing Performance Parts timing chain keeps things in order. Dave then lowered a pair of AFR 165 aluminum heads atop the short-block. The heads were outfitted with Cobra 1.7 ratio roller rockers and FRPP valve covers, while FRPP lifters made their way into the lifter galley before the Holley SysteMAX manifold finished things off.
The stage was now set for the introduction of forced induction, which at the time of our photo shoot revolved around a Vortech A-Trim centrifugal supercharger. Since then, the A-Trim has made way for an S-Trim that blows in 15 pounds of boost through an Anderson Ford Motorsport Power Pipe, an Accufab throttle body with EGR spacer, and a Lightning mass air meter. A BBK pump and regulator feed the 42-pound injectors, and a full-on MSD ignition system sparks things in the combustion chamber each time the Autologics-tuned ECM says so. The exhaust mess slips out via MAC 1-5/8-inch long-tube headers linked to a 2-1/2-inch system quieted down by a set of Flowmaster cases. All told, the blown pushrod powerplant is good for 475 rwhp and 490 rwtq.
An engine is only as good as the package it's in, so transferring all of the supercharged power to the pavement is a host of driveline and suspensions upgrades. A McLeod clutch gets the ball rolling, and things keep on going thanks to the beefed-up T-5 five-speed stick. Dave makes the gear changes with a Pro-5.0 shifter, and an FRPP aluminum driveshaft moves the power to the 8.8-inch rear filled with 28-spline axles, an Auburn differential, 3.73 gears, and an FRPP differential cover. As for the suspension, the mods are subtle, yet perfect for the car's purpose. Maximum Motorsports subframe connectors were installed, and the stock springs were ditched in favor of a pair of four-cylinder coils. Out back, upper and lower BBK tubular control arms and a rear airbag keep the Pony's hind end in check under hard acceleration. The stock braking system remains, though the front rotors were deep-sixed in favor of a pair of Power Slot dishes. As for rolling stock, who can argue with classic Weld Draglites? The 15x3.5 front rims are wrapped in skinnies, while the 15x8 rear wheels are dressed with Nitto 555R sneakers.

Contracts for NASA's Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV) and Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) demonstration will be awarded this month. NASA is to announce on 18 August which of the six COTS finalist teams will be selected for the $500 million, four-year programme.
The six competing to develop an International Space Station cargo delivery system by 2010 are Andrews Space, Rocketplane Kistler, SpaceDev, Space Exploration Technologies, Spacehab and Transformational Space. In the first year the winners will have $40 million between them to develop their delivery systems. On 31 August NASA will announce whether the Northrop Grumman or Lockheed Martin team has won the phase two contract to develop the CEV. The winner would be expected to go on to build and service the vehicle for its operational lifetime.
NASA may also announce a new name for the CEV. The name Orion is apparently undergoing the trademark registration process for NASA spacecraft and capsules. On 30 June the US space agency announced new names for its Crew Launch Vehicle (CLV) and its Cargo Launch Vehicle (CaLV). The CLV became Ares I and the CaLV, Ares V.

Pingu the penguin's 23rd birthday at Dudley Zoo
Posted: May 06, 2014|
PINGU was 23 last Thursday and Dudley zookeepers made sure he had first pick of the sprats in Penguin Bay.
Keeper Kriss Pearson said: "Pingu is a very special penguin to us as he was one of just five hand-reareds who started our Dudley Zoo colony back in 1991.
"It's because of him that we now have 67 parent-reared penguins in the bay, which is one of the largest colonies of Humboldt penguins in the UK and the zoo's birds have helped enhance colonies at other animal collections."
The birds are named after German scientist,
Alexander Von Humboldt, who explored their habitat off the South American coastline in the late 1700s.

7. To endure the rigors of high-RPM and the increased valvespring pressure of the 416, LME opts for a JP Performance billet double-roller timing set. It has multiple keyways cutouts on the crank gear for up to 8 degrees of cam advance or retard.
8. Using a degree wheel, LME verified the installed centerline of the camshaft. It was advanced two degrees to help bulk up low-end torque.
9. Since a stock LS3 utilizes a single-roller timing set, fitting an aftermarket double roller set requires grinding the back of the timing cover for clearance. LME made quick work of this process on its CNC machine.
10. The stock LS3 oil system is already plenty stout, but the LME 416 ramps up the oil flow even more with a Melling high-volume pump. Before installing it, LME radiused the outlet and grinded down all the sharp edges to improve flow.
11. All the cubic inches in the world don't mean squat without a set of high-flow cylinder heads, and the factory LS3 castings are among the greatest production small-block heads ever built. GM engineers improved upon the already potent cathedral-port LS1 heads by pushing the pushrod passages over to the side, freeing up space for a larger rectangular port with a raised entrance.
12. To maintain valve control at high RPM, LME fitted the heads with PAC dual valvesprings that feature 170 pounds of seat pressure and 430 pounds of open pressure. They're anchored in place by lightweight titanium retainers to keep valvetrain mass and valve float to a minimum.
13. After a trip through LME's proprietary CNC program, the factory LS3 cylinder heads flow 365 cfm through the intake ports at 0.630-inch lift. That puts them right on par with the stock LS7 heads at a fraction of the cost.
14. The CNC porting bumps the exhaust port flow up to 235 cfm. Although the LS3 head castings have been criticized for having poor exhaust flow relative to the intake ports, 235 cfm is still right on par with a big-port Gen I small-block Chevy head. Likewise, using a slightly longer exhaust duration on the camshaft addresses the situation nicely.
15. LME's ported LS3 heads retain the factory 2.165-inch hollow-stem intake valve and 1.600-inch stainless steel exhaust valves. They received a three-angle cut, and LME blended them into the stock 70cc combustion chambers.
16. Sending the lobe lift to the rocker arms are GM LS7 hydraulic roller lifters and 7.400-inch Trick Flow pushrods. The GM hydraulic lifters perform more like solid roller lifters, and can maintain valvetrain stability past 7,000 rpm.
17. In order to tighten up the quench clearance as much as possible, LME sets the pistons to 0.010-inch "out of the hole" and utilizes 0.048-inch-thick GM head gaskets. This yields a 0.038-inch quench clearance. Tighter quench not only produces more horsepower, it also reduces the potential for detonation by improving the homogenization of the air/fuel mixture.
18. Although head studs offer the ultimate in clamping force, head bolts are more than adequate for a naturally aspirated combination like the LME 416. The ARP bolts were torqued down to 70 lb-ft.
19. The LME 416 uses the stock LS3 rocker arms, but with a twist. To enhance longevity under increased valvespring pressure and higher RPM, LME fortified the stock rockers with a Comp Cams trunnion conversion kit. The trick setup replaces the stock pivots with heavy-duty rocker arm trunnions and bearings. At $135, the conversion is a heck of a lot cheaper than a set of aftermarket rocker arms.
20. Since the cylinder heads can only flow as much as an intake manifold will allow, LME matched up its ported LS3 castings with a high-flow Fast LSXR manifold. It features a 102mm inlet, which was matched to a Nick Williams billet throttle body of the same diameter.
21. A testament to the efficiency of the LS3 cylinder heads, the 416 required just 28 degrees of ignition advance on LME's Superflow dyno. With the air/fuel ratio dialed in at 11.8:1, the motor kicked out 622 hp at 6,200 rpm and 574 lb-ft at 5,250 rpm.

Hi! My name is Brooke. I graduated in June 2013 from DePaul University with a degree in Public Relations and Advertising. I'm a marketing/administrative coordinator at a product design firm. Eventually, I'd like to go back to school so I can become an elementary school teacher though. English and history interest me, specifically US history 1900-present.

I love to stay active, play tennis, watch football and hockey (Go Bears and Blackhawks!) see new movies, go to the beach, enjoy outdoor patios, read new books, enjoy wine tastings, or walk around Chicago when it's nice out. I'm the biggest sweetheart and will go out of my way for anybody that matters to me. I have a loud laugh, great smile, and a big heart. I give my all and I expect respect in return. And I can't forget to mention that I'm a hopeless romantic as well. I love life and live it to the fullest ! I believe that everything happens for a reason. Disclaimer: I have four tattoos and want a couple more, but they aren't visible. Some don't like it, some do. It is what it is. I want a someone who is fun to be around and open-minded! Someone who is laid back but also very personable and outgoing. Someone who has a good sense of humor. I love to laugh, so anyone that can make me laugh is set! The ideal relationship for me is one that is comfortable, and based on good communication, trust and respect. No relationship is perfect, but I want someone who I can call my best friend. A relationship where we can openly discuss any topic of conversation without worry, enjoy spending time with one another, and where you would do anything for the other.

Fans' reaction to Burton Albion's draw with Exeter City
Posted: February 02, 2014|
WELL, the conditions didn't help, but it was a woefully inept display by the Brewers today.
Sorry to say it's two points dropped.
(Gary) Alexander (was) not on long enough to judge – a few good touches.
Too many off form today: (Billy) Kee, (Matty) Palmer, (Adam) McGurk.
Mark Harden (@markharden)
TWO points lost – what has Billy Kee got to do to get a full game?
FA Cup hangover all over again. (Gary) Alexander? Did he play!!
Wayne (@WP1965)
THE goals against since (Zander) Diamond got back into the team isn't exactly impressive.
SCS (Shane Cansdell-Sherriff) and (Ian) Sharps are the best partnership.
Dave Bott (@DaveBott78)
WE SIGNED a new striker to try and stop the goal famine.
For some reason we didn't start the game with him in the side.
We relied on Adam McGurk and Billy Ke for the first hour. Both had a poor game.
The Albion attack was toothless and Exeter clearly sensed it.
Exeter had two early goals fortunately disallowed for offside.
That flattered them really. They were not a great side, only managing three shots on target all game.
Albion should have got the better of them.
Exeter concentrated their attacks on the Burton left back Damien McCrory.
They clearly felt that was the vulnerable part of defence.
They rarely went to the right side of the pitch where Edwards was in his usual fine form.
Burton scored an own goal, on the hour, to put the visitors ahead.
Certain sections of the crowd had, for some time, been shouting for Gary (Rowett) to substitute McGurk and Kee as they were clearly struggling.
There was about to be a double substitution, with (Gary) Alexander and (Dominic) Knowles coming on, when McGurk had his one effective kick of the game and scored from a classic Ismail cross.
Ismail did his best in difficult circumstances.
It would have been nice if that had prompted a Burton revival.
But it did not and in the next 10 minutes Kee and McGurk were both quickly substituted.
It would have been asking a lot for the new signing to turn this game into a win when he had never met the team before.
He did however look to be robust and up for it.
Hopefully this attitude will inspire his teammates when he gets a full 90 minutes.
The midfield had a very bad day, apart from Jimmy Phillips who put in a full shift with some penetrating runs.
However,can someone please help Robbie Weir with his passing – this is not rugby – he is allowed to pass the ball forwards.
This season, we have an Albion team more than capable of promotion to League One.
It has taken the club 64 years to get to this position.
It would be letting down all the people who have worked so hard over the years if we let this chance slip.
Unfortunately, our form so far in 2014 will condemn us to another year in League Two unless it improves quickly.
We are averaging a point a game this year. If that continues we will finish the season with just 65 points.
That is 11 less than we got last year. We won't make the playoffs.
I don't like to moan, but come on Albion.
You are a lot better than that display on Saturday – time to get to work!
Steve Smith

New England Retreats: Seeking the Silence
- Login to add to Favorites
- 0 Comments
In the Absence of Words
I arrived at Gonzaga: Eastern Point Retreat House in Gloucester, Massachusetts, at low tide and sunset.
Behind the large house, a Jesuit-run spiritual center since 1958, kelp beds were aglow with the day's last light.
Inside, the ocean smells gave way to those of dinner: pork, potatoes, and corn on the cob. About 30 other retreatants were already eating and talking — this with a certain urgency, because silence would soon descend for the remainder of the three-day weekend.
"Freed from small talk and other distractions, we can better hear that inner voice," Father Jim Keegan told us during introductions to the weekend retreat. He explained where the library and bicycles were located, and suggested we spend time outdoors. "You'll see No Trespassing signs around. Disregard them," he said, to laughter.
Eastern Point offers two kinds of retreats: directed, where individual participants meet daily with a leader, and guided, during which group presentations are offered as aids to contemplation. My group of six was led by Father Rick Stanley, who urged us to draw closer to God through prayer as "an attentiveness, a listening." We were of varying faiths — Protestant, Catholic, Jewish — but everyone hoped to gain understanding in the quiet. One man sought guidance on how to proceed with the adoption of a baby. A woman said she'd come out of a need to feel close to her deceased son. Several people mentioned a desire for time away from their daily lives to sort something out.
"There's an unmasking that takes place in the silence," said Rick Margolis, the man considering adoption. "You can be your true self here."
By Saturday that silence had settled in, a penetrating quiet broken by the occasional cry of a gull. Some of us spent the hours in sunny nooks in the old stone mansion. Others headed out on walks around nearby Niles Pond or along the ocean rocks. On Brace Cove beach, I encountered the woman I'd sat next to at breakfast. We walked quietly together for a while before parting.
Nighttime at Eastern Point had its challenges. The absence of TV and Internet wasn't a big deal, but to have so many people around and no one to talk to was a bit disconcerting. I wished I'd brought a book and maybe earplugs — at night, the house itself was less than quiet. Doors banged and pipes hummed beneath the sink in my clean but spartan room.
As for the silence, it varied over time — sometimes buoyant, sometimes heavy. On the last night, when we gathered to celebrate the Eucharist, the opening bars of a Russian folk tune came as a relief. The group burst into song, loudly enough to overcome the sound of rain drumming on the roof. After Communion, as we were heading for the dining room, the rain abruptly ceased and we made our way outdoors. A full rainbow arced the length of the ocean horizon.

30 Years And Counting
Rollins' Leadership a Constant in School District
Posted: December 30, 2012 at 3:42 a.m.
Jim Rollins originally planned to be a physician.
At A Glance
The Superintendent's Contract
The Springdale School Board likely will conduct its annual evaluation of Superintendent Jim Rollins in January, as it does every year. The board usually adds a year to his contract after evaluating him. Rollins' current contract expires Dec. 31, 2014. His base salary for 2013 is $199,274.

This article is nothing but a lousy piece of fluff. The school system has dramatically declined over the last decade while Rollins and his self appointed school board sit around patting themselves on the back. They review his performance? Really? That gives new meaning to the old saying of "The fox watching the henhouse."
Instead of providing another page for the Rollins "I love myself" scrapbook, why not ask some real questions? Let's start:
How can you justify asking for mileage increases in these poor economic times when the school district continued to give raises as the private sector cut back? Will the money being used for current school construction ultimately go to salaries when those projects are completed? (Here's a hint – YES). Will you ask for another mileage increase for more construction at that point? (YES).
Some of your older elementary schools don't even have hot water for washing hands. How can you justify allowing this to continue? Why is the maintenance so poor?
Is the ESL approach really the best method for integrating non-English speaking students? Explain how this approach doesn't hold back the other children in the classroom and take the teacher's time unfairly away from their needs.
What is the total number of schools flagged for poor performance in the district? Where is the accountability in the administration for that?
I'm proud of this town, and it does some good things. However, the Springdale School District is a mess. Report on that instead of this fluff.

The Spring Season: Guerlain Forever Beige Lipstick
Guerlain Forever Beige Lipstick
The Spring Season: Guerlain Forever Beige Lipstick
Guerlain Forever Beige (#558) KissKiss Lipstick ($30.00) is a bronzy brown nude with copper flecks. I don't think the name fits the shade, just because this isn't what I think of when I hear the word "beige." It's an elegant color, but it's just not beige. Aside from the name confusion, Forever Beige looks smooth and natural on lips while still providing significant color. The shade itself is silky smooth and provides full color coverage once applied. KissKiss Lipsticks do have Guerlain's signature scent (kind of a fragrant fruity scent) that can be too overpowering for those who prefer scent-free or near scent-free lip products. Luckily, I have no problems with the scent myself, so it's certainly not a deterrant. (Wait, did I say luckily? No, maybe that makes me unlucky!)
Is this the right brown-nude lipstick for you? Would you wear it?
The Spring Season is a series of posts featuring my favorite soft beige, coral, and pink lipsticks and lipglosses — all perfect for the first blossom of spring — that runs through March 2010.

SAN DIEGO - One of the world's oldest medicinal plants is the artichoke. The ancient Egyptians placed great value on this thistle-like plant, and it is clearly displayed in ancient drawings involving fertility and sacrifice.
The artichoke plant was also used by the ancient Greeks and Romans as a digestive aid. In sixteenth-century Europe, the artichoke was a favored food among royalty.
Artichoke leaves contain a number of active constituents. The choleretic (bile stimulating) action of the plant has been well documented. This choleretic effect has led to the popular use of artichoke extract in Europe for the treatment of mild dyspepsia and indigestion, particularly following a high-fat meal.
In clinical studies, artichoke extract has been found to reduce nausea, abdominal pain, constipation, and flatulence. It is also used to protect the liver and lower cholesterol.
While scientists are not certain how artichoke leaves lower cholesterol, studies suggest this may be due to an inhibition of cholesterol synthesis and/or the increased elimination of cholesterol because of the plant's choleretic action.
Artichoke Tea Directions
Draw into a teapot or kettle the best fresh water that you have available.
Heat the water just to the point of boiling. Fresh boiling water contains the most oxygen, thereby giving the fullest taste to tea. Water that has been boiling for some time looses the oxygen, and therefore the best taste. Allow full expansion during steeping. Warm the teapot and cups while the water is boiling.
A Cautionary Word
Those who have any obstruction of the bile duct (e.g., as a result of gallstones) should not employ this plant therapeutically. There have been reports of kidney failure and/or toxicity from the use of artichoke leaves. The plant's safety during pregnancy and lactation has also not been established.
Currently, there are no known drug interactions with artichokes.

Police and Farmers get shot in Arizona and no one cares, but let a politician get shot and Congress stops doing important business and the Media is on it like flies to honey.
Take a look at the photo below. Take a good look at the sign he is holding! Why isn't this person with the sign "we will shoot more police"" not being arrested? Why don't we see this on the front page of our newspapers and on the 6 o'clock news?
This is a good example of why Americans have a problem with illegal immigrants' rights. We are the ones that will have to pay for the welfare for these immigrants, depriving all of our natural citizens!
This is only one of the several reasons our nation is falling apart.
Get it Done, Arizona, You Are In Our Prayers!

Eureka Resources to construct Marcellus Shale wastewater treatment plant
WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — Eureka Resources, LLC will construct a world-class centralized wastewater treatment facility in Standing Stone Township, Bradford County, Pa., to treat wastewater generated during development of oil and gas wells in the Marcellus and Utica Shale.
Plans for the facility include installation of Eureka''s treatment process that allows for recycling of Marcellus and Utica shale water for use at future well sites as well as a concentrated brine crystallizer to allow for beneficial reuse of valuable byproducts that can be extracted from the water.
"Bradford County saw more drilling activity than any other Pennsylvania county last year," said Eureka CEO Dan Ertel. "This facility will provide gas producers in this area with a treatment option that is closer to home and helps reduce the number of trucks needed for off-site disposal and their associated costs, noise and pollution."

Tractors have pull with manHas won more than 150 awards
Tractors have been a hobby for a 73-year-old Leonard, N.D., man for more than two decades. Arlo Anderson has competed in tractor-pulling competitions for about 22 years – and he's won more than 150 awards.
By: Kristen Daum, INFORUM
Tractors have been a hobby for a 73-year-old Leonard, N.D., man for more than two decades.
Arlo Anderson has competed in tractor-pulling competitions for about 22 years – and he's won more than 150 awards.
This year, he won two first-place honors when he pulled at the Big Iron show in West Fargo – a feat he's accomplished for three years in a row.
"That's kind of unusual," Anderson admitted. "It's quite a science to get all your tractors ready. It takes years to figure out how your tractor pulls the best."
When Anderson first started in the 1980s, he made it a family affair, with his 16-year-old daughter joining him in the competition.
"I was kind of a daddy's girl, and I liked to hang out with him and I wanted to do whatever he was doing," said Marsha Grindahl, now 37.
"I just know he really enjoys it and now that he has the time, he can do it more."
Anderson knows more about tractors than just how to pull them the best. For more than 15 years, the retired farmer and part-time electrician also has collected antique tractors.
"Before, we just pulled them, then I got interested in collecting old tractors," Anderson said. "And I started restoring 'em."
His collection of a dozen antique tractors includes some that he uses in tractor pulls and others that he drives on caravan trips across the Great Plains, like his 1935 Allis-Chalmers WC.
"They're a whole lot simpler," Anderson said of his antique tractors. "If something goes wrong, you can fix 'em. And if you work on them yourself, you appreciate it more."
For about five years, Anderson has joined dozens of other tractor enthusiasts from North Dakota on caravan trips using Allis-Chalmers tractors.
This year, Anderson was part of a caravan of more than two dozen tractors that trekked about 225 miles over three days from Oakes, N.D., to Madison, S.D. – averaging about 70 miles per day, he said.
"When you're driving at 11 miles an hour with a tractor, you can see a lot more of the country," Anderson said. "You can see the flowers and everything on the road. It's a lot different than driving a car."
Anderson's wife, Doris, has been a spectator for many of Anderson's competitions and trips – and has watched his interest grow over the years.
"He just likes the tractors, and he enjoys it so much," she said.

Listen: Young Statues - "Spacism"/
Philly band Young Statues saunters that fine line between bright n' brash indie pop and jammy jangle neo-folk/rock on their forthcoming self-titled album arriving November 8. New single "Spacism" has a hint of that not-so-rare bird, the call of the male Angst Teen Warbler, but we think there's more here than may meet the eye (or ear) on an initial listen. Led by songwriter and frontman Carmen Cirignano - a dude comfortable with a James Taylor or Neil Young cover now and then - "Spacism" finds the Statues melding some shimmering guitar riffs, strutting bass line and a boisterous drum kick on for a song that simply doesn't have the time to catch its breath. Play. Repeat. Play.

The Fresno Chaffee Zoo is going prehistoric!
Saturday is Dino Nite where kids can hang out with some of their favorite dinosaurs.
Kids can take part in a dino dig, make-and-take crafts, a viewing of the birds show, watch an episode of the hit PBS show Dinosaur Train on the big screen and take pictures with the show's star, Buddy.
"We have a lot of community booths and one is our bio-facts table where we have fossils and lots of hands on tools for kids to learn about prehistoric times and just the past with fossils and things like that. It's going to be a lot of fun and very educational," said the zoo's Jordan Escobar.
Dino Nite is happening this Saturday from 5pm-9pm.
Tickets $12 for member adults and $9 member kids, ages 2-11. They're $15 for adults and $12 for kids who are non-members.
It's suggested to buy tickets on-line at fresnochaffeezoo.org to avoid long lines at the gate.

Boys from Brazil
If today's first practice at the Brazilian GP is anything to go by, then this weekend's race could prove to be nearly as manic as last year's.
Formula 1 Blog – BBC Top Gear
If today's first practice at the Brazilian GP is anything to go by, then this weekend's race could prove to be nearly as manic as last year's.
This weekend is the big one. Or at least, this weekend could be the big one. Will Brawn GP's Jenson Button be World Drivers' Champion come Sunday night?
Interestingly, if Bernie Ecclestone's plan of awarding gold medals to race winners had been in place this season, Jenson Button would have wrapped the Championship up after the Singapore GP the other week.
It must be getting tricky at Brawn GP's HQ right now, what with their two drivers being at the sharp end of the World Drivers' Championship fight, 14 points apart.
Big Sensational Opening Paragraph Alert: Jenson Button can clinch the drivers championship at Suzuka this weekend if he finishes far enough ahead of his Brawn teammate Rubens Barrichello.
Silly season is about to properly kick off this coming weekend at the Japanese GP, where all signs point to Ferrari announcing Fernando Alonso as their driver for next year.
You've got to start thinking that Jenson Button's so lucky there's no way he can end the season as anything other than World Drivers' Champion.
Finally, some actual on-track car action to distract from the ridiculousness that was the Renault Crashgate incident. We could do without any more 'Gates' from now on please, F1 people.

Science in Cuba: how is it different than in U.S.?
Kate Bradshaw
WMNF Drive-Time News Wednesday | Listen to this entire show:
Science in the US looks a little different from one of its closest neighbors.
Luis Barerras works for Cubaâs Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment. Speaking through translator Fernando Trelles, a researcher with Miami Beachâbased Ocean Foundation, Barerras says relations between the US and Cuba have improved recently in terms of science, but they still arenât exactly ideal.
Barerras says heâd like to see stronger relations between the two governmentsâ scientific arms because both have the authority to construct and implement policy â nonprofits donât.
Universities and environmental nonprofits do much of the environmental research in the US. Barerras says this isnât the case in Cuba.
He says there are some non-government organizations that do scientific work.
This week, scientists from Cuba, the US and Mexico are gathering at Sarasotaâs Mote Marine Laboratory, an independent nonprofit specializing in marine research. Dubbed the Trinational Initiative, it wrapped up today. It was the first year the marine science consortium met in the United states. It formed in 2007, and has previously met in Mexico and Cuba.
