About The Amazing Race
THE AMAZING RACE is a multi-Emmy Award-winning reality series hosted by Emmy Award- nominated host Phil Keoghan, which pits 11 teams, each comprised of two members, against each other on a trek around the world for approximately 25 days. At every destination, each team must compete in a series of challenges, some mental and some physical, and only when the tasks are completed will they learn of their next location. Teams who are the farthest behind will gradually be eliminated as the contest progresses, with the first team to arrive at the final destination winning $1 million.

Real Solutions: Spring Cleaning
New England's winters seem to last a long time and certainly make us yearn for spring's reawakening. Adding trees and shrubs with winter appeal — particularly those featuring spectacular dormant-season foliage or early blooms — can help.
Many conifers — including juniper, cypress, and spruce — bear colorful foliage all year long. The stems and branches of some deciduous trees — including paperbark and three-flower maple (Acer griseum and triflorum) and Japanese pseudocamellia (Stewartia) — are strikingly attractive.
Shrubs and small trees such as seven-son flower (Heptacodium) and several of the dogwoods (Cornus), including cornelian cherry (Cornus mas), are also great choices. Other plants with early flowers are andromeda (Pieris) and certain magnolias, including 'Leonard Messel' and 'Centennial'.
Many of these season-expanding plants are recipients of the prestigious Cary Award. This is a plant recognition program established in the 1990s by the Worcester County (Massachusetts) Horticultural Society at Tower Hill Botanic Garden. The Cary Award has recognized more than 30 hardy woody plants that are attractive in several seasons, easy to use, and readily available at garden centers, but underused in New England gardens. For more information, ask at your local garden center, or visit: caryaward.org
We're trying to use organic gardening around our yard, and for the past few years I've been adding lots of compost to the soil. My rhododendrons, azaleas, and blueberries are looking weak and have yellowish leaves. I'm wondering whether I'm doing something wrong. Can you advise us? — S.P., Salem, NH
Many plants such as those you describe need acidic (low pH) conditions to grow their best. Most composts, despite the addition of organic content, tend to have a higher pH than ideal for acid-loving plants. Testing your soil is easy to do at home; most garden centers sell kits for simple acidity testing.
When you plant acid-loving species, it's always a good idea to add peat moss to the soil before you backfill around the roots, and then to mulch with pine needles or composted oak leaves, all of which are acidic. If your soil pH tests above 6.0, you can also increase its acidity (reduce the pH) by about a half-point by mixing in about a pound of ground sulfur (flowers of sulfur) and a half-pound of ferrous sulfate per 100 square feet.
Note that sandy soils require less sulfur, and heavy clay soils more. Depending on conditions, soil pH may take months to adjust, so be patient, measure again before reapplying, and don't overdo it!

General Lee's surrender
General Lee's surrender
Super 32 Challenge - October 26-27, 2013
"Good things happen when you wrestle for a full seven minutes." -- Jayson Ness, post-finals press conference
gw from being president
but then again, i may be retarded
Probably a bit of a premature response, and tainted by what I have lived through, but 9/11 would have to be mine.
In specific, the result(s) of 9/11, in my opinion, was the larger catastrophe.
UNI Panthers...Because it's just right.
Since far more people died under Stalin's pruges and gulags, I'd go with that, then the Holocaust.
If it was a natural disaster, probably the Plague.

Ray Manzarek, a founding member of the 1960s rock group The Doors whose versatile and often haunting keyboards complemented Jim Morrison's gloomy baritone and helped set the mood for some of rock's most enduring songs, has died. He was 74.
Manzarek, founding member of The Doors, dies at 74
Manzarek died Monday in Rosenheim, Germany, surrounded by his family, said publicist Heidi Robinson-Fitzgerald. She said the musician's manager, Tom Vitorino, confirmed Manzarek died after being stricken with bile duct cancer.
The Doors' original lineup, which also included drummer John Densmore and guitarist Robbie Krieger, was only together for a few years and they only made six studio albums. But the band has retained a large and obsessive following decades after Morrison's 1971 death. The Doors have sold more than 100 million records and songs such as "Light My Fire" and "Riders On the Storm" are still "classic" rock favorites. For Doors admirers, the band symbolized the darker side of the Los Angeles lifestyle, what happened to the city after the sun went down and the Beach Boys fans headed home.
The Doors' vibe "has more to do with Charles Bukowski than it does with Farrah Fawcett," said John Doe of punk band X, a friend of Manzarek's for more than 30 years, referring to the poet and 'Charlie's Angels' star, respectively. "It has more to do with Raymond Chandler and Nathaniel West, and 'Sunset Boulevard' the movie, than it does with 'Beach Blanket Bingo,' right? ... It's a real dark place out in LA."
Next to Morrison, Manzarek was the most distinctive-looking band member, his glasses and wavy blond hair making him resemble a young English professor more than a rock star, a contrast to Morrison's Dionysian glamour — his sensuous mouth and long, dark hair. Musically, Manzarek's spidery organ on "Light My Fire" is one of the most instantly recognizable sounds in rock history.
But he seemed up to finding the right touch for a wide range of songs — the sleepy, lounge-style keyboards on "Riders On the Storm"; the liquid strains for "The Crystal Ship"; the barrelhouse romps on "Roadhouse Blues." The Doors always considered themselves "more" than a rock band and Manzarek, Densmore and Krieger often managed a flowing rapport that blended rock, blues and jazz behind Morrison's self-consciously poetic lyrics.
"There was no keyboard player on the planet more appropriate to support Jim Morrison's words," Densmore said in a statement. "Ray, I felt totally in sync with you musically. It was like we were of one mind, holding down the foundation for Robby and Jim to float on top of. I will miss my musical brother."
The Doors were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993. Their records have been reissued frequently and the band was the subject of a 1991 Oliver Stone movie, "The Doors," starring Val Kilmer as Morrison and Kyle MacLachlan as Manzarek, who complained that the film stereotyped Morrison as a hopeless drunk and also omitted calmer, more humorous times.
The Doors' fame has hardly faded even though they're one of the few groups not to allow their music to be used for commercials, a source of great tension among surviving members. Manzarek and Krieger reportedly supported licensing the songs, and Densmore has resisted. The group also feuded when Krieger and Manzarek formed a new group, Doors of the 21st Century. Densmore objected, and Krieger and Manzarek performed under various names.

Fresh Spring Rolls with Peanut Dipping Sauce
Let me introduce you to my latest addiction.
My friend Jaqie and I were talking about what we've been eating lately (because I guess that's normal conversation when you're with me), and she told me she's been making fresh spring rolls.
I always thought of that stuff as restaurant food.
I would never have even thought to make it at home.
Because when you don't know how to make something, you always assume it's difficult, right?
But these aren't at all.
All you have to do is soak the rice paper in water for 5 seconds, and roll a bunch of fresh veggies and chicken in it.
Seriously. And now that I know how easy they are to make, I'm addicted.
Sign of addiction #1:
I've been eating these for breakfast, because I just can't wait until lunch to have them.
Because that is far too long.
And I am far too impatient.
And my stomach is very high-maintenance.
Sign of addiction #2:
I just got up from sitting down to write this post so I could go make one, because editing these photos is giving me massive cravings.
Sign of addiction #3:
I look into my pantry and see that I only have 3 pieces of rice paper left, and I start to panic before my brain kicks in and reminds me that I can go buy more.
I'm addicted.
Fortunately for me, these little spring rolls aren't a bad food to be addicted to. I think they're healthy and filling, and SO DARNED GOOD.
As far as the stuff you put in there, you can get super creative.
You can sub in shrimp for the chicken, and try different vegetables and herbs.
But since you'll be doing a bit of knife work and julienning, let me show you how to julienne a carrot, for instance:
Not so bad right?
And if you're including cucumber, I suggest you seed the cucumber first, like this:
Now is the part where I give you the recipe and send you off on your way to make these!
PS The peanut dipping sauce is not optional here, the two must be enjoyed together =)
PSS If you can't find rice paper in stores, you can also buy it online on Amazon.
Fresh Spring Rolls with Peanut Sauce
Yield: Serves 2-4
For the peanut dipping sauce:
5.5 oz can coconut milk
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp sriracha
chopped peanuts (optional)
For the Spring Rolls:
2 chicken breasts, cooked and diced (I usually use leftover chicken)
1 mango, julienned
1 carrot, julienned
1 cucumber, julienned
2 big handfuls of spring mix
8 rice paper rounds
Start by making the peanut dipping so we can get that out of the way. Simply mix together all of the ingredients together and keep it in the fridge.
For this recipe, it's important to get your mise en place all set up. Set out a big cutting board and lay all your ingredients around, all cut up and ready to go.
To make a roll, immerse a rice paper round in hot (not boiling) water for 5 seconds, then quickly remove it and lay it out. Moving fairly quickly (because the rice paper will start to get stickier and stickier as it sits), start adding your ingredients on the edge closest to you. When you're ready to roll, pull the edge closest to you over the ingredients to wrap, pull in the sides, and roll completely. Serve with the peanut dipping sauce.
Note about the quantity: You can make as many or as little rolls as you want here, and can also vary the amount of ingredients as you please.
Leave a comment:
I love these, especially filled with cilantro and shrimp. But like you I've never thought of making my own…your inspiring me to change
These are so healthy it hurts. I must seek out some rice papers and that dipping sauce looks perfect for lifting the taste.
Oh I'm so excited to see you post these. Funnily enough I bought some rice paper at the market a few weeks back as I kept eating them in restaurants and thinking "surely I could make this"? Anyway, have not been brave enough but this is just what I need. Will let you know how I go. Might try it the same night at the dumplings! Hurrah for good food conversations too – it's pretty much my standard line of conversation with my nearest and dearest too!
Livs, that's awesome, you will find it's very easy to do yourself! Are you doing asian style dumplings? I've got a couple posts on those. I love them, they're so delicious…I get massive cravings for them every once in a while.
So easy to do at home! And the dipping sauce is perfect!
I always tear the rice papers! I love the julienne lesson, I will try that next time.
Hi bibkel, I find that to keep them from tearing, don't soak them for any more than 5 seconds (as I said above), then move very quickly. Basically as each second passes, the rice paper absorbs more of that water and get more sticky and is more likely to tear. Hope that helps some! Vicki (another food blogger) also left her suggestion below.
I love making summer rolls and in fact just taught a class where we made them. For those that find they tear them easily it works great if you first fold the rice paper in half after dipping in water, place your ingredients in across so they stick out of both sides and then roll. It makes the paper stronger that way so they don't tear.
I'm with you, I could eat these for breakfast as well. I like your peanut dipping sauce, it sounds perfect for these yummy wraps.
Cool Vicki, thanks for sharing your tip on not tearing. Very useful!
Num! I love making these stuffed with a lot of cilantro and mint.
Herbs are great in these!
Awesome! It's amazing what rice paper can do, right? I'm really liking your photo/caption instructions … very slick. Question for you: How do you get such amazing photo?? Who's holding the camera during your knife cutting action shots?
Hey Tommy, it's just on a tripod set to self timer. I totally wish I had a personal photographer who would just take all the photos for me while I'm cutting. It would save a lot of hand washing LOL.
I love the colors and easy to make. Thanks for sharing!
I made the peanut dipping sauce tonight for Christmas Eve dinner. The taste was wonderful and everyone enjoyed it (including the small children with selective tastes in food).
Great recipe!
Hi Sab, that's fantastic! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas.
Hi, Joanne! These look divine – how long do they keep after you make them? I'd love to be able to make them in advance. Thanks, as always, for your helpful advice!
I am so excited, it finally feels Springy around here, and I'm dying for some thing light and fresh- plus, I can't turn down peanut sauce! This is definitely going to be dinner…
Those do look so fresh and wonderful!
I have been into peanut anything lately, and these look amazing!!
I made these last night with tofu instead of chicken and the family loved them! I just cooked the tofu in a little olive oil and let it cool. Even my picky eater said he loved them. Thank you for a great recipe!
thank you. sounds addictive – my kind of healthy food!
Hi, Joanne. I love this idea. I made these today and while the rolls were drying they stuck to the plate- also to each other but I can remedy that. What do you place them on until they dry out a bit? How do you store them in the fridge as you eat them over the week? Thank you.
Barbara, My spring rolls were a mess. I have not searched the internet in how to do it correctly. when they were too wet they were sticky. I need help as well.
I found you through Pintrest when searching for a spring roll recipe. I used your recipe as a base added cilantro, basal, and sweet onion. I am not much of a peanut sauce girl so I used sweet and sour. Fantastic!!! I found your pictures very helpful as I not thought of taking out the middle of the cucumber. The mango was a sweet touch and a creative way to eat greens with the spring mix.
I am excited to try another recipe.

Pretty Little Liars
Exclusive: Pretty Little Liars' Shay Mitchell Teases New Halloween Episode Spoilers
Our break from Pretty Little Liars has already felt like the kind of torture "A" would approve of, but on October 19, we'll finally get a PLL fix that should tide us over until January.
At the GUESS by Marciano & VOGUE 2011 Holiday Collection Debut, Wetpaint Entertainment caught up with Shay Mitchell (Emily) to get the scoop on the Halloween prequel episode and what's to come next spring.
"I'm so excited everyone to see it, because it was such a fun episode to shoot," says Shay, who teases great costumes, and some crazy stuff going down at a Halloween party. "We might tell the first lies that have ever been told by the girls."
Most importantly, are there any hints about Evil "A"?
"You do find out some stuff about 'A,'" Shay reveals. "In every episode there's always hidden clues so if you're really paying attention you'll pick them up."
Fans looking for clues may also want to pay attention to Emily's pre-coming out behavior. Could it be that she had feelings for Alison DiLaurentis (Sasha Pieterse)?
"Possibly," hints Shay. "You might see a little tinge of it, somewhere in there."
What she's not as coy about is her relationship with Maya St. Germain (Bianca Lawson), which picks up when PLL returns in January.
"Now I'm helping her – the roles kind of switch," says Shay about their new dynamic. "As Emily's come more into herself, she understands what she wants and I think she's a lot more confident to help Maya in this situation."
Exactly what situation is she referring to?
"It is the type of situation that if you watch the episode, you'll find out," jokes Shay.
While we've learned that Emily will be Maya's support system, we have far from figured out if the couple will stay together past a few episodes or if Samara Cook (Claire Holt) may have put a permanent wedge between the two. Are Emily and Maya meant to be together?
"I think whoever makes Emily happy is who she should be with," says Shay. "But to be honest, I'm having fun playing around and getting to work with all these amazing actresses."
We may just have gotten our answer.
Do you think Emily and Maya belong together?

List of Apollo astronauts
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2009)
Thirty-two astronauts were assigned to fly in the Apollo manned lunar landing program. Twenty-four of these left Earth's orbit and flew around the Moon (Apollo 1 never launched and Apollo 7 and Apollo 9 were low Earth orbit spacecraft testing missions). In addition, nine astronauts flew Apollo spacecraft in the Apollo Applications Programs Skylab and Apollo–Soyuz Test Project.
Twelve of these astronauts walked on the Moon's surface, and six of those drove Lunar Roving Vehicles on the Moon. While three astronauts flew to the Moon twice, none of them landed on the Moon more than once. The nine Apollo missions to the Moon occurred between December 1968 and December 1972.
Apart from these 24 people who visited the Moon, no human being has gone beyond low Earth orbit. They have, therefore, been farther from the Earth than anyone else. They are also the only people to have directly viewed the far side of the Moon. The twelve who walked on the Moon are the only people ever to have set foot on an astronomical object other than the Earth.
Of the 24 astronauts who flew to the Moon, two went on to command a Skylab mission, one commanded Apollo–Soyuz, one flew as commander for approach and landing tests of the Space Shuttle, and two went on to command orbital Space Shuttle missions. A total of 24 NASA astronauts from the Apollo era flew on the Space Shuttle.
- 1 Prime crew members
- 2 Other astronauts who trained for Apollo but did not fly
- 3 Apollo astronauts who walked on the Moon
- 4 Apollo astronauts who flew to the Moon without landing
- 5 References
Prime crew members[edit]
NASA's Director of Flight Crew Operations during the Gemini and Apollo programs was Donald K. "Deke" Slayton, one of the original Mercury Seven astronauts, who was medically grounded in September 1962 due to a minor cardiac arrythmia - paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Slayton was responsible for making all Gemini and Apollo crew assignments. In March 1972, Slayton was restored to flight status, and flew on the 1975 Apollo–Soyuz Test Project mission.
The prime crew members selected for actual missions are here grouped by their NASA astronaut selection groups, and within each group in the order selected for flight.
From the Mercury Seven[edit]
- Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom – Pilot of Liberty Bell 7 and commander of the first manned Gemini 3, was selected in 1966 to command the first manned mission, Apollo 1, a low Earth orbit test of the Apollo Command/Service Module. This mission ended a month before its scheduled launch,[1] when a cabin fire on the launch pad killed Grissom and his entire crew—Edward H. White and Roger Chaffee—on January 27, 1967. According to Slayton, Grissom would have been his choice to be the first to walk on the Moon.[2][3]
- Walter M. Schirra, Jr. – Pilot of Sigma 7 and commander of Gemini 6A, was selected to command a second CSM test flight which was canceled in late 1966, at which time he was reassigned as Grissom's backup. Twenty-one months after the Apollo 1 fire, Schirra commanded the first CSM test flight, Apollo 7.
- Alan B. Shepard, Jr. – America's first man in space on Freedom 7 was originally selected to command Gemini 3, but was medically grounded for the duration of Gemini due to Ménière's disease and assisted Slayton in Flight Operations. After corrective surgery, Shepard was restored to flight status and commanded Apollo 14, the third successful Moon landing mission.
From Astronaut Group 2[edit]
All of these astronauts had flown on Gemini, and except for White, each commanded one Gemini and one Apollo mission:
- Edward H. White II - Second-seat veteran of Gemini 4 who made the United States' first walk in space, selected as Senior Pilot (second seat) on Apollo 1. White was killed with Grissom and Chaffee in the fire.
- James A. McDivitt – Commander of Gemini 4, selected in late 1966 to command the first Earth orbital flight test of the Apollo Lunar Module with the CSM. This mission flew in March 1969 as Apollo 9. After his flight, McDivitt was promoted to Manager of Lunar Landing Operations, and in August 1969 was promoted to Manager of the Apollo Spacecraft Program.
- Frank F. Borman II – Commander of Gemini 7, selected to command a higher Earth orbit test of the complete Apollo spacecraft. But when delays prevented the LM from being ready in time for its first flight in December 1968, Borman's mission was changed to the first lunar orbital flight of the CSM on Apollo 8.
- James A. Lovell, Jr. – Second-seat veteran of Gemini 7, and commander of Gemini 12, flew as Command Module Pilot (second seat) on Apollo 8. Lovell became the first to fly a second Apollo mission as commander of Apollo 13, the third lunar landing attempt. This mission was unsuccessful, due to a Service Module electrical system failure caused by the explosion of an oxygen tank. Lovell and his crew managed to return to Earth safely.
- Thomas P. Stafford – Second-seat veteran of Gemini 6A and commander of Gemini 9A, commanded a lunar orbital test of the Lunar Module on Apollo 10.
- John W. Young – Second-seat veteran of Gemini 3 and commander of Gemini 10, flew as Command Module Pilot on Apollo 10. Young later commanded the successful Apollo 16 lunar landing. He also commanded the first Space Shuttle flight, STS-1 Columbia, on April 12, 1981.
- Neil A. Armstrong – Commander of Gemini 8, commanded Apollo 11, becoming the first man to set foot on the Moon.
- Charles "Pete" Conrad, Jr. – Second-seat veteran of Gemini 5 and commander of Gemini 11, commanded Apollo 12, the second lunar landing.
From Astronaut Group 3[edit]
This was the first class of astronauts for which test pilot experience was not required, but military jet fighter pilot experience was acceptable.
Five of this group got their first spaceflight experience as second seat on Gemini:
- David R. Scott – Second-seat veteran of Gemini 8, flew as Command Module Pilot on Apollo 9, and commanded the Apollo 15 lunar landing.
- Eugene A. Cernan – Second-seat veteran on Gemini 9A, flew as Lunar Module Pilot on Apollo 10, and commanded the final lunar landing mission Apollo 17.
- Michael Collins – Second-seat veteran on Gemini 10, flew as Command Module Pilot on Apollo 11.
- Edwin E. "Buzz" Aldrin, Jr – Second-seat veteran on Gemini 12, flew as Lunar Module Pilot on Apollo 11, the first Moon landing.
- Richard F. Gordon, Jr. – Second-seat veteran on Gemini 11, flew as Command Module Pilot on Apollo 12. Gordon was selected to command the Apollo 18 lunar landing, which was later cancelled.
The remaining six members of this group were selected for their first space flights on Apollo:
- Roger B. Chaffee - Selected as Pilot (third seat) on Apollo 1, was killed with Grissom and White in the fire.
- Donn F. Eisele – flew second seat on Apollo 7.
- R. Walter Cunningham – flew third seat on Apollo 7.
- Russell L. "Rusty" Schweickart – flew as Lunar Module Pilot on Apollo 9. Schweickart performed an EVA outside the spacecraft, testing the Portable Life Support System used on the Moon.
- William A. Anders – flew third seat on Apollo 8.
- Alan L. Bean – flew as Lunar Module Pilot on Apollo 12.
From Astronaut Group 4[edit]
In June 1965, NASA named a group of five scientist astronauts, the first group qualified by doctorate degrees rather than test or military fighter pilot experience.[4] Geologist Dr. Harrison H. "Jack" Schmitt participated heavily in the geological training of the lunar landing astronauts, as well as assisting in the analysis of returned samples and the preparation of mission reports. In 1970, he was selected as Lunar Module Pilot for the Apollo 15 backup crew, and prime crew on Apollo 18. When program cutbacks cancelled missions 18 through 20, NASA's lunar geological community insisted on having a geologist on the Moon, so Slayton reassigned Schmitt to Apollo 17.
From Astronaut Group 5[edit]
NASA named a group of 19 more astronauts in April 1966. None had spaceflight experience before their Apollo mission.
- T. Kenneth Mattingly II – selected as prime Command Module Pilot for Apollo 13, Mattingly was exposed to German measles days before the flight and was grounded by the flight surgeon. He swapped places with his backup and flew on Apollo 16.
- John L. "Jack" Swigert, Jr. – flew as Mattingly's backup on Apollo 13.
- Fred W. Haise, Jr. – flew as Lunar Module Pilot on the unsuccessful Apollo 13. Haise was selected to command the Apollo 19 lunar landing, which was later cancelled.
- Stuart A. Roosa – Command Module Pilot on Apollo 14
- Edgar D. Mitchell – Lunar Module Pilot on Apollo 14
- Alfred M. Worden – Command Module Pilot on Apollo 15
- James B. Irwin – Lunar Module Pilot on Apollo 15
- Charles M. Duke, Jr. – first achieved public recognition as capsule communicator during the Apollo 11 Moon landing; notable for the quote: "...we copy you on the ground. You've got a bunch of guys about to turn blue; we're breathing again. Thanks a lot."[5] Duke flew as Lunar Module Pilot on Apollo 16.
- Ronald E. Evans, Jr. – Command Module Pilot on Apollo 17.
Other astronauts who trained for Apollo but did not fly[edit]
- L. Gordon Cooper – from the Mercury Seven; veteran of Mercury Faith 7 and commander of Gemini 5, was replaced as Apollo 14 commander by Alan Shepard and resigned from NASA in 1970.
- Clifton C. Williams – from Group 3; was named as Schweickart's Lunar Module Pilot backup crew, but was killed in a T-38 plane crash near Tallahassee, Florida on October 5, 1967. He was replaced with Bean, who flew on Apollo 12.
- Edward G. Givens, Jr – from Group 5; was on the support crew of Apollo 7, but died in a car crash near Houston, Texas on June 6, 1967.
- Joseph H. Engle - from Group 5; was originally named as Apollo 17 Lunar Module Pilot, lost his slot to Schmitt. After Apollo, he flew in the Space Shuttle Approach and Landing Tests, then commanded STS-2 and STS-51I.
Apollo astronauts who walked on the Moon[edit]
Twelve men have walked on the Moon, eight of whom are still alive. All of the landings took place between July 1969 and December 1972 as part of the Apollo program.

On each of the Apollo 17 EVAs, Schmitt was the second out of, but first back into, the Apollo Lunar Module, and is thus the last person to have stepped onto the Moon. Cernan, as the last to enter the LM on the final EVA, is the last person to have walked on the Moon. Duke was the youngest, at age 36 and 6 months; Shepard was the oldest, at age 47 and 2 months.
Jim Lovell, John Young and Eugene Cernan are the only three astronauts to fly two lunar missions. Of these three, only Lovell did not walk on the lunar surface. Lovell and Fred Haise were prevented from walking on the Moon by the malfunction on Apollo 13 that resulted in the mission being aborted. Haise was scheduled to walk on the Moon as commander of Apollo 19 prior to that mission's cancellation on September 2, 1970.
Joe Engle had also trained to explore the Moon with Cernan as the backup crew for Apollo 14, but Engle was later replaced by geologist Harrison Schmitt when the primary crew for Apollo 17 was selected. Schmitt had been crewed with Dick Gordon in anticipation for Apollo 18. When Apollo 18 was canceled, Schmitt bumped Engle, leaving Gordon as the last Apollo astronaut who had trained extensively for lunar exploration without ever getting a chance to fly a lunar landing.
Apollo astronauts who flew to the Moon without landing[edit]
Twelve more people have been within a few hundred kilometers of the Moon. On each of the missions listed above one astronaut orbited the Moon while the other two landed. In addition, the Apollo 8, Apollo 10, and Apollo 13 missions had a three-person crew and closely encountered the Moon, entering orbit in the case of the former two missions, while Apollo 13 only passed around it.
John Young and Eugene Cernan both flew to the Moon twice, each setting foot on it as part of their second journey, while Jim Lovell is the only person to have flown to the Moon twice without landing on it.
As a result of their free return trajectory, Lovell, Jack Swigert, and Fred Haise jointly hold the record for humans' farthest distance from the Earth, having reached an altitude of 400,171 km (248,655 mi) above sea level on 0:21 UTC on 15 April 1970; at that moment, they likewise flew higher above the surface of the Moon's far side (at 254 km (158 mi)) than any other humans have flown.

When local swimmer Meghan Chisholm announced she was going to attempt to swim the English Channel this summer she needed two things, time to train, and support for her cause.
© Southwest Booster photo by Jason Kerr.
ACT/UCT members Biss Wiskar (left) and Herb Butz (right) present Meghan Chisholm (centre) with a cheque for $500. Chisholm is swimming across the English Channel this summer, and raising money for type 1 diabetes research.
She got plenty of the latter on June 4 as the Swift Current ACT/UCT donated $500 towards Chisholm's fundraising efforts. The Swift Current Aquatic Centre lifeguard is using the swim as a chance to raise funds for the JDRF, an organization that supports type one diabetes (T1DM) research.
"We want to donate our money to the people and children in Swift Current," ACT/UCT treasurer Bess Wiskar said. "It should go to the diabetes association on behalf of the Swift Current club and Meghan."
Chisholm, who is busy training for the mid-July swim, said she's happy for any support or awareness she can garner about T1DM, which affects around 300,000 Canadians.
"I thought that (JDRF) was a good charity and we do have a small community that's working really hard with that group."
Chisholm will be one of four people swimming the channel at that time. She'll have to swim a little over 34 km, which should take her around 14 or 15 hours, all of it in 15-18 C temperatures. For comparison, the temperature in the Aquatic Centre pool is 29 C.
"Coldwater," she said with a chuckle when asked to name the obstacles and challenges. "The distance is one of the factors too."
Despite the physical demands of such a swim, Chisholm emphasized the mental aspects as well, such as maintaining focus and a positive attitude.
"Physically I'm ready, but mentally it's going to be a challenge," she said. "I haven't been through that yet."
All the hard work and preparation wasn't lost on the ACT/UCT members who presented the cheque either.
"She's going to work hard for (the donation)," Wiskar said with a smile. "That's the way we look at it."
Originally founded by travelling businessmen, the ACT/UCT is no stranger to sponsoring charities or swimmers. In addition to the various local charities they support, they also help fund the Swift Current Stingrays swim team, of which Chisholm is a former member.
Wiskar said it's not very often a Saskatchewan resident attempts a swim like this, and they wanted to support that attempt.
"We just wish her all the best," he said. "It's a big job that she's picked to do and we felt that it was only fair that we help her out."

Scientists used to scan the skies for messages from alien civilisations. Now they go looking for their ruins
The natural sciences tell us that time is deep, and that civilisations could have arisen well before the Earth formed. Today, a small group of interstellar archaeologists is looking for evidence of those civilisations. They are tantalised by the possibility that the universe is not just a birthplace of alien cultures but also their necropolis.

Depending on where you reside, the winter months can require increased heat at home and everywhere else you go. Unfortunately, that heat is a major cause for dry skin! For some people, dry skin means flaking, cracking, and even eczema (in which the skin becomes inflamed).
Sound familiar? Check out glo's 10 tips for improving your skin care regimen, to help maintain moist and healthy skin throughout the winter months.
1. Boost Hydration with Skin Serums.
You may have a moisturizer that works for spring and summer, but as the weather changes, so should your skin care routine.
Try a hydration-boosting serum from glo therapeutics. Pure Hydration is perfect to wear under your favorite moisturizer day and night.
2. Sport Your Sunscreen Daily.
Sunscreen is not just for summertime. Combine winter sun with snow glare and the skin damage could be drastic.
Apply glo.therapeutics Oil Free SPF 40+ daily under your makeup. About 30 minutes before going outside, apply it to your hands as well if they're exposed. Reapply frequently if you will be outside for a long period of time.
3. Seek help from the pros.
If you go to your local drugstore or department store, you'll be hard-pressed to find a salesperson who can offer adequate advice. That's why going to an esthetician or dermatologist even once is a good investment. Such a specialist can analyze your skin type, troubleshoot your current skin care regimen, and give you advice on the skin care products you should be using. Call us for a list of spas or dermatologists who use our skincare and makeup products in your area! 800-903-4321.
4. Hydrate While You Lather.
Hydrating your body is helpful in the winter months, but is necessary in the anti-aging process year-round! Replace your old body soap with glominerals body wash. This delicate blend of essential oils and shea butter cleanses AND hydrates the skin.
5. Butter your Body
Lock moisture into your skin daily with glo.minerals Body Butter in honey sugar butter. Not only does this luxe body lotion feel and smell wonderful, it is also full of natural extracts and moisturizing agents formulated to deliver superior nourishment and emollients to the skin to protect and hydrate. Apply all over every day after a shower - great for hand cream too!
6. Simulate Humidity
We already covered the fact that your central heating system, as well as space heaters, blast hot dry air. Humidifiers get moisture into the air and help prevent dry skin. Place a couple throughout your space for an even distribution of humidity. Your skin will be so happy!
7. Treat your feet
Although created for the skin on your face, the glo therapeutics Barrier Balm is a god-send for your dry, cracking feet (this applies year round).
Apply a pea-size amount to feet before bed, throw on some socks and wake up to soft, smooth tootsies. If you share a bed with someone – believe us, he or she will appreciate it! (Try the Barrier Balm on your face after a long day on the slopes - you'll love it!)
8. Baby your face
If your facial skin is uncomfortably dry, avoid harsh peels, masks, and alcohol-based toners or astringents, all of which can strip vital oil from your skin. Instead, try the glo therapeutics Conditioning Milk Cleanser and Conditioning Tonic, followed by Restorative Cream.
Use masks that are deeply hydrating, rather than clay-based which tend to draw moisture out of the face. The glo therapeutics Restorative Mask can be worn up to 7 nights a week, all night long for maximum hydration and restoration.
9. Makeup for lost hydration
Yes, your makeup could be drying out your skin if you are not wearing mineral makeup! Did you know that it's actually healthier for your skin to wear mineral makeup than to wear no makeup at all? glo.minerals contains vitamins and minerals that help balance hydration in the skin.
Our foundations also allow your pores to breathe and offer extra sun protection. Available in 4 foundation options; pressed powder, loose powder, sheer tint liquid and regular liquid (available in matte or satin finish), and a large variety of color tones. glo.minerals is beautifully natural and easy to use!
10. Lip Tips
Chapped? Yeah, we thought so...your lips don't have oil glands, so they dry out very easily. So, here are some tips – for your lips!

Leading personalities of the IPU have received eight Nobel Peace Prizes:
The organisation's initial objective was the arbitration of conflicts. The IPU played an important part in setting up the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague. Over time, its mission has evolved towards the promotion of democracy and inter-parliamentary dialogue. The IPU has worked for establishment of institutions at the inter-governmental level, including the United Nations, an organization with which it cooperates. The IPU has permanent observer status at the United Nations.
Numerous bodies have expressed interest in the possibility of transforming the IPU into a United Nations Parliamentary Assembly, among them the Committee for a Democratic UN, the German Bundestag and the Socialist International. The Liberal International also considers this as an option.
The headquarters of the union have been moved several times since its inception. Locations:
It is the duty of the Members of the Union to submit the resolutions of the Union within their respective Parliament, in the most appropriate form; to communicate them to the Government; to stimulate their implementation and to inform the Secretariat of the Union, as often and fully as possible, particularly in its annual reports, as to the steps taken and the results obtained.
The Association of Secretaries General of Parliaments shall be a consultative body of the Inter-Parliamentary Union.
Any sub-amendments shall be submitted in writing to the Secretariat of the Union at least six weeks before the meeting of the Assembly. The Secretariat will immediately communicate all such sub-amendments to the Members of the Union.
After hearing the opinion of the Governing Council, expressed through a simple majority vote, the Assembly shall decide on such proposals by a two-thirds majority vote.
The IPU marked commemorated the 50th anneversary of the United Nations by holding a special session in the General Assembly Hall before the start of the session, where they planned for closer cooperation with the United Nations. The General Assembly Resolution passed during that session requested the Secretary-General to put this into action. An agreement was signed between the IPU and the Secretary-General on 24 July 1996 and subsequently ratified by a General Assembly Resolution, where the United Nations recognizes IPU as the world organization of parliaments. Pursuant to this resolution, the Secretary-General submitted a report which was noted with appreciation by the General Assembly, who requested further strengthening of cooperation and another report. This report detailed the measures that had been taken, including opening a liaison office in New York, and cooperation on issues such land-mines and the promotion of representative democracy. Following an entire morning of debate the General Assembly passed a resolution which simply stated that it "looks forward to continued close cooperation".
The following year (1999) the Secretary-General reported on an increased number of areas of cooperation, the issue was debated for an entire afternoon (interrupted by a minute of silence held for tribute to Vazgen Sargsyan, the Prime Minister of Armenia who had just at that time been killed by gunmen), and passed a resolution requesting the IPU be allowed to address the Millennium General Assembly directly.
Following another report, and another half-day debate, the General Assembly welcomed the IPU declaration entitled "The Parliamentary vision for international cooperation at the dawn of the third millennium" and called for the Secretary-General to explore new and further ways in which the relationship could be strengthened.
On 19 November 2002 the IPU was granted observer status to the General Assembly.
In the Resolution 59/19, Cooperation between the United Nations and the Inter-Parliamentary Union, the UN General Assembly takes note of the recommendations in regard to engaging parliamentarians more systematically in the work of the United Nations.
The final declaration of the Second World Conference of Speakers of Parliament, hosted at United Nations headquarters, took place in September 2005, was entitled Bridging the democracy gap in international relations: A stronger role for parliament.
In the Resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly, 61/6, Cooperation between the United Nations and the Inter-Parliamentary Union, in 27 November 2006, it calls for the further development of the annual parliamentary hearing at the United Nations and other specialized parliamentary meetings in the context of major United Nations meetings as joint United Nations-Inter-Parliamentary Union events.
Every year during the fall session of the General Assembly the IPU organises a Parliamentary Hearing . A resolution on cooperation between the United Nations and the IPU allowed for circulation of official IPU documents in the General Assembly.
UN and the IPA cooperate closely in various fields, in particular peace and security, economic and social development, international law, human rights, and democracy and gender issues, but IPU has not obtained the status of UN General Assembly subsidiary organ.

Dr. Randy Jotte: Washington University EM Prof. Seeks Seat in Missouri House
Randy Jotte is ready for a challenge. An emergency physician at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and an associate professor at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Jotte is competing for Missouri's vacated 2nd Congressional seat. In this, his first run for national office, Jotte will have to first get through a tough Republican primary. But the Missouri native believes his values of integrity, fiscal responsibility, and country first will win the hearts and minds of voters.
EPM: Tell us about your personal history and how that history shaped your desire to run for Congress.
My profession and my patients have most shaped my desire to serve in Congress. Over two decades of clinical practice as an emergency room physician, I estimate I have cared for more than 50,000 patients, one at a time. While their names may be long forgotten, so many of their personal stories remain with me, having left a deep impression. I hope and believe I have positively impacted many of their lives.
The current crisis in health care, and particularly emergency care, reflects the importance of making an impact on a much larger scale through sound health care policy. Such impacts can be made through several avenues: advocacy, influencing public opinion, and directly participating in the legislative process. I have served as an advocate for our patients and profession through state and national professional societies like ACEP and Missouri ACEP, including service on the Missouri ACEP Board of Directors and as President. I have attempted to impact public opinion on issues like repeat DWI offenders and the need for sufficient inpatient psychiatric facilities through guest editorials in regional and statewide newspapers. One of the most effective ways to impact the process is by sharing these stories, experiences and impressions as a member of the legislative body forming policy. I seek to do just that as a member of Congress.

In Reply to: JRT and baby
: We have a 7 year old male Jack Russell Terrier that is obsessed with our two week old baby. He needs to be around the baby constantly and refuses to go outside to play. He whines constantly and jumps up when the baby is in a high location, such as a changing table. He also somtimes whines when the baby cries on my lap. When the baby is on his level (such as in a swing), he must be close by and tends to lunge towards him making me very nervous. However, when we let him get close to the baby in a supervised setting, he licks the baby. Please help me! What do I need to do to curb this extremely annoying behavior? Will he just get better with time- and how long will that take? My 8 year old female JRT just ignores the baby. Unfortunately, I did not follow any of the "before the baby" tricks that are mentioned on this site.
Congrats on the birth of the baby! It goes without saying that your first concern is the total safety of your baby. For some reason, this JR "thinks" the new creature is his property and responsibility. Immediately, demand that he give you total obedience. Give him commands like Down-Stay, and never let him get away without 100% compliance. I sure hope he has been to basic obedience school. You need it now, big time. I was always a little on the fence about my own JR's attitude toward my grandson, when he was "new". Such intense curiosity, and when baby made those noises, my Jack just exploded, wanting to get in baby's face. Of course, you can't have that. Err on the side of safety, and make your JR obey a sit, or down every time he starts to get worked up.
BTW, I'd keep an eye on the female, too. She may seem unconcerned, but sudden movements or cries could trigger an attitude change in her, too.
Establish the rank of the family, including dogs, right now.
You're not being mean to the dogs, its just sensible and safer this way.

Sam Gill, Professor and Associate Chair Religious Studies, A major challenge of online courses arises in the obvious distance of the participants, students and faculty, from one another. How can online courses be developed and presented so that everyone feels some personal connection with one another through the term of the course? This 'how to' presentation will offer a number of examples and techniques that help to create community and even take advantage of the distance among participants.
Faculty should bring their own laptops for use during this workshop. MAC laptops will be available for those faculty who would like to borrow one.
Thursday, Sept. 27, 3:30-4:30 p.m. This event will be held in ATLAS 200

Another good spot to check from outside the Jeep is the windshield frame. Police Auctions Auckland Nz check in bottom center of the windshield where the seal meets. Look for signs of repair and buckling of of the seal. Also if the Jeep has a softop check the top channel where it is attached via screws to the windshield frame. This needs to be properly sealed or water will seep in from under the channel and into the windshield frame rotting it from the inside out.
There are many agencies from the local and national government that organize such auctions. The Government's General Services Administration Fleet for instance is one of the biggest government units responsible for these car auctions. They sell pre owned vans cars and trucks from the US government.
If you decide to go larger be prepared to spend more money. Installing a larger lift will also require that additional work be done to the suspension and may alter the way your Wrangler handles. Larger lifts will provide you with greater clearance when off-roading but they also tend to put more strain on your Jeep.

This will help you choose the model and size that is perfect Police Auctions Auckland Nz for the type of off-roading you do.
I spent several months on the Yahoo Rialta group sites (3) before purchasing my first RV and gained a tremendous amount of knowledge. In any event expect a substantial discount from MSRP. I've seen units with an MSRP of $99000 quoted at under $70000. You might find it worthwhile to pay a little more and purchase from a local dealer if that dealer seems able to provide
good service.
Once you have made the payment chances are you will receive a conformation mail and/or will be directed to a page where they will send you payment confirmation and referral number Police Auctions Auckland Nz etc for export of cars from USA to Nigeria. Save these details and Police Auctions Auckland Nz preferably get a print out of the same since these can prove to be very handy in future. 8.
Beginning with one small plastic manufacturing plant it soon became a leader in the pistol industry and has provided many needed weapons for the military police force and security personnel. It is and
always has been made from only the most reliable and durable materials making them safe and effective. Just how fast can Indy cars go? Well to give you an idea Indy cars can make it down the length of a football field plus some in less then one second. Jet airliners takeoff speeds are between 160 to 180 miles per hour.
When Police Auctions Auckland Nz inside read all information carefully. One of the many benefits of using Craigslist.org to buy a used vehicle is you get to avoid the pushy salespeople. But
as pushy has they can be they can also provide you with valuable information.
Finally I could quote a price for my car using a system that allows sellers to quote the Police Auctions Auckland Nz price they want to sell their cars at and wait for a response from prospective buyers. In this final option I could have escaped paying a commission but in this method there is no aggressive salesperson pushing to sell my car in the market. Using the live chat option I was able to correspond with prospective buyers real time. I was given enough details about what I needed to know about the process of selling my car.

An overview is provided of the design activities and the related neutronics support efforts conducted in the European Union for the development of breeder blankets for future fusion power reactors. The EU fusion programme considers two blanket lines, the Helium-Cooled Pebble Bed (HCPB) blanket with Lithium ceramics pebbles (Li4SiO4 or Li2TiO3) as breeder and beryllium pebbles as neutron multiplier, and the Helium-Cooled Lithium-Lead (HCLL) blanket with the Pb-Li eutectic alloy as breeder and neutron multiplier. The blanket design and the related R&D efforts are based on the use of the same coolant and the same modular blanket structure to minimise the development costs as much as possible. The neutronic support efforts include design analyses for the layout and optimization of the modular HCPB/HCLL blankets based on detailed three-dimensional Monte Carlo calculations as well as underlying neutronics activities conducted in the frame of the European Fusion and Activation File (EFF/EAF) projects to develop qualified nuclear data and computational tools for reliable neutronics design calculations.

I was wondering where you went!
I'll leave the technical info to loosie, she's the expert.
What you could try is making him "shoes" out of styrofoam, the kind that's used for insulating houses, and duct tape, to see if he's more comfortable with them on. It takes a little practice to make them, but it'll come
Cut a plate the size of the hoof out of the foam, then tape to foot.
If he gets more comfy, he'll move around more which in turn makes the hooves grow more, including the sole.
You'll have two possibilities, either go the barefoot way, which, IMO, is the better one, or go with orthopedic shoeing, which will, if done right, make him seem sound quicker, but, again, IMO, will pretty much mask the problem. Either way, it'll take time to grow a new, healthier hoof.
For possibilities of shoeing, NANRIC - Your Source for Equine Podiatry Products & Knowledge has tons of info, and might be helpful in finding a farrier who works that way.
It's a pretty bad start with a new horse, but im glad you stuck with him
