In a tall glass combine the bourbon, the cranberry juice, the grenadine, the orange juice, and 4 ice cubes. Fill the glass with the seltzer and stir the drink. Garnish it with the orange slice.
We're huge bourbon drinkers in this house; I'm always looking for ways to jazz it up. I loved this. Hubs wrinkled his nose and took his bourbon neat... That's how Kentucky boys are, I suppose. :)

Michael Sean Winters reports in the National Catholic Reporter on his attendance at the Catholic Conversation Project. You can see his rather hopeful reflections (which you should read first, as always) at http://ncronline.org/blogs/distinctly-catholic/catholic-conversation-pro.... I suspect the numbering means more tomorrow. Here are my slightly more combative comments:
Between the verses of Kumbaya, let me suggest that it is the job of theologians not to argue with the Magisterium but to both warn the Hierarchy to its limits (distinguishing between belief that can only be agreed to but not proven by evidence and natural law - which should be the province of every thinking person, not just the Curia and its desire for eternal consistency) and to help intergrate new information (like the obvious archeology that shows that Adam and Eve, if they existed in Eden in the shadows of Ararat, were not the first parents, first human, etc. and the whole myth is a story about human nature - useful to understaning salvation history but not essential - Paul's use of them was as a rhetorical tool, not doctrine and doctrine using them as real figures, like original sin, needs recalibaration. Yes, I am cutting the core - which is needed).
The CCP is a nice counter-punch to those who so inelegantly challenged Obama's participation in a Notre Dame graduation over an issue that Obama has no say in. There are like three Republican judges total who would over-turn Roe - and none will ever go on the SCOTUS, nor should they. Like some of the bishops, they are so partisan that this partisanship must be condemned. Indeed, that no Bishop took those objectors to task, both privately and publicly (since their act was public) IS the scandal and it remains unrepented,. I would say that a CCP like gathering between older theologians and biships might be useful, but if Cardinal O'Malley and/or Bishop Blase were the invited hierarchs, I suspect the others would scream revolution! If one actually ocurred, of course, I would not mind at all.

As the curtain rose opening night, the audience let out a murmur—a subtle appreciation for beauty in the raw.
And if she did murmur something, why did Ingham choose not to record it?
They occurred without a murmur of protest from the United States.
late 14c., "expression of discontent by grumbling," from Old French murmure "murmur, sound of human voices; trouble, argument" (12c.), noun of action from murmurer "to murmur," from Latin murmurare "to murmur, mutter," from murmur (n.) "a hum, muttering, rushing," probably from a PIE reduplicative base *mor-mor, of imitative origin (cf. Sanskrit murmurah "crackling fire," Greek mormyrein "to roar, boil," Lithuanian murmlenti "to murmur"). Meaning "softly spoken words" is from 1670s.
murmur mur·mur (mûr'mər)
An abnormal sound heard on auscultation of the heart, lungs, or blood vessels.

The updated stats: The Reds have a 2.66 ERA with Ryan Hanigan catching and a 4.75 ERA with Devin Mesoraco catching. Opponents are batting .232 when Hanigan is behind the plate, .282 with Mesoraco.
So, can we read anything into this? Everyone loves to beat up Dusty Baker for his penchant of playing veterans over youngsters, and many believe Mesoraco has All-Star potential, especially with the bat. He's hitting .300 with five walks in his small sample size of 30 at-bats, while Hanigan is hitting .283, but with just one extra-base hit and one RBI in 46 at-bats.

The Economic Crunch: Downturn means upsurge at the library
Job searches, those who depend on free Internet tell volumes about rise in visits
Carol Orlove has had a romance with books and libraries since she was a girl growing up in Brooklyn without air-conditioning.
In those summers in the late 1950s and early 1960s, Orlove would bring home a Nancy Drew mystery from the local library and sit on her front stoop soaking up Nancy's latest adventure while sucking on an ice cube.
"I've loved libraries since I was little," said Orlove, 58, who volunteers at the Germantown Community Library. "I like the smell of the books. I couldn't wait to get my adult library card. That was a big day."
It was also a different day.
Across the country, a slowed economy is contributing to busier libraries. A recent Harris Poll shows 68 percent of Americans now have a library card, the greatest number since 1990 when the American Library Association began measuring usage.
The Harris Poll also found that 76 percent of Americans had visited a library within the past year, as compared with 65.7 percent in 2006. Usage of computers in libraries has increased about 17 percent.
"We've seen this (upsurge) in other economic downturns," said Jim Rettig, president of ALA. "There's a difference this time why people are not just using their library, but depending on their library: society's dependence on the Internet."
That dependence is evident at the Benjamin L. Hooks Central Library where there are 213 public computers. Memphis' entire library system has 538 public computers.
"There are more people coming in to do job searches," said Melissa Skipper, a senior librarian at Central Library. "And the frustration level is higher because the last time they filled out an application they were able to fill it out on paper. Now, companies are sending people to the library to fill it out online."
Erica Tines, 29, was at Central Library one recent morning to send out her résumé. Several months ago, she was laid off from her job at Pepsi. She hadn't been in a library for more than a year. Unlike baby boomer Carol Orlove, Tines doesn't have fond memories of the library from her school days.
"I did my work, but I didn't like the library," Tines said. "I still wouldn't come here, if not for the job search."
The Germantown Community Library has 40 computers, and director Melody Pittman says, "We see a lot of résumé writing."
Computers and the free Wi-Fi service offered at libraries are driving much of the traffic. In some parts of the country, Rettig says, libraries are dialing down their two-hour time limits on computers to as little as 30 minutes.
"Because of the bad economy, they should have computers just for people looking for jobs," Tines said. "A lot of people come in here and just sit on MySpace."
Currently, all the computers are "equal access," said Lillian Johnson, public relations supervisor at Central Library.
Johnson says a twice-a-month Job Lab is in the planning stages and that library staff regularly help patrons who are using the computers for job searches.
Libraries also are getting more attention from customers put off by the cost of buying books.
"There has been a decline in foot traffic," said Carley Cianciolo, marketing manager for Davis-Kidd Booksellers. "Business books -- how to manage your money -- are getting a lot of attention. We aren't selling as many travel books."
Said Rettig: "People are discovering the value of their library card."
Highlights from 2008 Harris Poll on library usage:
In 1990, 59 percent of Americans had a library card. In 2008, 68 percent have a library card.
In 2008, using a computer accounted for 41 percent of library visits by library card holders, up from 23.6 percent in 2006.
In the Memphis Library system, usage from October to December 2008 is up 5 percent, which means 40,000 more patrons have come through public library doors compared with the same period in 2007.
Although the number of books checked out has remained relatively constant, the use of materials in the library (i.e. magazines, newspapers, reference books, or books browsed but not checked out) is up by a third for the period of October through December 2008.
Germantown Community Library also reports an increase in circulation and customer visits. Even more important, said director Melody Pittman, is this: "Groups that through the years have given us donations are continuing to do so. We're pleasantly surprised."

New Cleveland folk club unplugged
or on webpage at
It's been 25 years since The Cleveland Folk Club first opened its doors, initially it was formed out of the need to expand the sing-around which had grown in the Egerton in Crumpsall, as they had no function room. It was decided by, Ian Sproson and the late Tony Hill that The Cleveland Hotel was the next choice. The major contributors at that time were Ian Sproson, Tony Hill, Steve Wooley, Mark O'Neill, Paul Baker, Peter Adamus and Mike Bowden. So, in late October in 1985, The Cleveland Folk Club opened its doors, the club ran for approximately four weeks and, in November, Lorna Egan took over as the mistress of ceremonies.
The Intention of the club was to provide a forum to highlight live music for any performer, with an emphasis on acoustic music, to perform in a warm environment to a non-judgemental audience. The club slowly grew from local singers, Ian and Tony, to up and coming local talents, many of whom went on to further a career in music in their own right. The club was not just an outlet for music and singers, monologues and poetry were popular from Manchester's own Lemm Sessay to the unique humour of award winning Henry Normal, who appeared as a guest early in his career.
The club was also well known for organising charity events and, despite having to move venues from time to time, The Cleveland's community spirit would always continue to support local music. The Cleveland Folk Club ended in 1990, although live music was continued by Peter Worthington's 'Folk on the Hill' with the late Kevin Harvey at a number of Crumpsall venues, even returning to the Cleveland Hotel renamed 'Full Circle Folk Club' until 1997. In July of 2010 both Jan Woodwood-lee and Lorna Egan came up with the idea of a 25 year Reunion and four months later in November it was held once again at the Cleveland Hotel, which was a great success.

34 year old woman | Boulder, CO, USA | Seeking men 33-45 within 75 miles
I love Colorado. Let's go explore!
Hello there. This is my second attempt to write this description about myself and what I want from my future lover/best friend/partner in adventure. My first time I kept it very simple and short. I figured men didn't want to take the time to listen to a woman ramble on.... sad, I know. However, since being on this site for a couple of months now I've realized that the profiles I like the most are by those who embellish their thoughts and desires. So, here it goes... this is my attempt at being as true as I can on this site. Me: I love to garden, bike, walk in nature, travel, read, cook, and catch up with family and friends. I have many plants here that I brought with me from NC when I moved here in June. I can't have pets where I live so my plants are my "babies". I was active in mountain biking on the East Coast, but since moving to CO I haven't purchased a new bike and returned to biking... bummer! I love to dance, but I'm OK with dating a "shy" guy that doesn't like to dance. I will try to force you (and resort to subtle manipulation) nonetheless if I must. I like many types of music, from country western to classical to electronica. I just recently listened to Mozart's Requiem symphony in Denver.I like to cook healthy dinners and work out regularly. Lifting weights feels like a massage afterwards :) Because I'm originally from South Texas, Mexican food is my specialty! In terms of my personality, I strive to maintain a positive focus. I belive in karma, in the sense that you get what you put out into the universe. I feel good when I can help people out. Even just the little things like giving up my seat on the bus for someone in greater need. I am very honest. I love to crack jokes, but not obnoxiously! I'm a very sweet girlfriend and can't wait to find someone to adore! You: Honest and optimistic. You know what you want. You want a woman that is intelligent, attractive, affectionate and loving, funny, trustworthy and dependable. You are at peace with your choices and place in life (of course we all have rough patches occasionally but I mean overall). You remain eager to constantly grow and learn more. You have hobbies, no matter how small, that give you fulfillment. You are close to your family. Hmmh... what else... let's get to the meat of this! You love chocolate and kittens too! Just kidding about that latter part. I know this is not a "dream" situation. All in all, I am looking to meet good people on here. Maybe we hit if off and become great friends or even better a couple. Best of luck on your path.

Some other viewpoint
The quaint little bars near my house... Flat Irons... hmmh... I'm new here so don't have that many yet.
This is a hard question. One of the things that gives me pleasure is working outside in my garden and tending to my plants. I don't have any pets, but would love a little furry kitten at my side.
Being outdoors, dancing... cooking...

Just to shed a little light on that, He (Slotbaker) added a WHOLE bunch of motors to the spreadsheet and made some changes in the columns that make a lot of sense. The vew version is on my server at:
One thing I've thought about is possibly making 3 sections or 3 separate pages: one for US motors, one for "foreign" or non-US lumps and one for truck motors. It would make it a little more difficult to maintain if it was all in one, but it might make more sense and add a bit to its useability.
Lemme know whatcha think, k?
Posted 22 May 2006 - 04:33 PM
One suggestion was adding after market engines and possibly doing something similar for other components like transmissions, axles etc.
Posted 25 May 2006 - 05:41 PM
What is the purpose of adding foreign engines? Is someone really going to ask where to find, say.... a Subaru flat 4? Hmmmmm?
The reason for this list... at least at the beginning of the thread was for the purposes of engine swapping! Otherwise, most kits already include the correct engine. At least that is what I thought....
Adding a foreign engine defeats the purpose unless the engine applies itself to Street Rodding such as a cool Columbo designed Ferrari V12 (arr, arr, arr).
Otherwise, this list would probably be most useful if confined to some parameters such as Street Rodding or Hot Rodding.... or ?
Posted 25 May 2006 - 06:09 PM
Otherwise, this list would probably be most useful if confined to some parameters such as Street Rodding or Hot Rodding.... or ?
I figured the list would help those who may not know which engine came with what car/truck etc, regardless of US, or Japanese, or Euro, or ?
If a builder has a desire for something different like Pratt & Whitney turbine to stick in the back of a Vdub :shock:, then check the list and see what kit to get.
It would get more complicated and time consuming to try and make the list cover everything, although it would be great. If it's easy to do, it will get done, but if it's hard to do, then....
Hey James W, waddyer think, you started us off. Is this going the way you thought?
Posted 26 May 2006 - 01:04 AM
With tuners becoming more and more popular, something like a (please forgive me here, but I'm totally out of my league when it comes to what's hot and what's not as far as fwd cars are concerned) Civic with a Taurus SHO motor might be conceivable. Might not be easy to do in 1:1, but in 1:24? Could be.
And to continue the international flavor, the tastes of modelers in Europe, Australia and NZed may be a bit different than mine. I like rat rods and muscle cars. But then I've never built in hot rod outside of the US.
I can split the lists into US, Non-US and Heavy Truck versions and see what people think. I don't spose it'd hurt anything.

Here's an initial shot at a web page made from an Excel spreadsheet:
Let me know what ya think, k?
Posted 19 October 2006 - 05:33 AM
btw, i have a couple o things that might suit well on your list aswell only 2 but still...
AMT -71 Dodge Charger kit contains a Hemi, what kind they dont say...
and this is probably irrelevant but in the AMT -58 Impala, the set includes some custom engine parts including edelbrock´s
thank you for your great mind!

Some older trucks have engines that wern't offered when they were first built.
I have been in an old International ACCO repowered with a Scania straight six engine connected to an Alison Automatic gear box.
The above combination worked better than the original setup.

The following six University of Iowa students have been awarded a U.S. Department of State Critical Language Scholarship (CLS) to study critical needs languages during the summer of 2015: Laura Wang, Stephanie Rue, Destinee Gwee, Elaine Mou, Mandy Conrad, and Brittany Callahan.
Through the silver screen, we are able to connect with stories, places and faces from home and around the world. As filmmaker Martin Scorsese says, "Movies touch our hearts and awaken our vision, and change the way we see things. They take us to other places, they open doors and minds." At FilmScene, we couldn't agree more with Scorsese's sentiment, which speaks to the heart of everything we do as a nonprofit film arts organization.
Sarah Mayer, of Johnston, IA, has received a 2015-16 Fulbright U.S. Student Award to Colombia where she will work as an English Teaching Assistant (ETA). Mayer will graduate this spring with a B.A./B.S. in Spanish and biochemistry from the University of Iowa.
Sean O'Harrow, the director of the University of Iowa Museum of Art, said there's much more to Pollock, his work, and his legacy than people give him credit for, and a new exhibition at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, organized by the UI Art Museum, will show people just how influential and important Pollack was — and is still.
When I was applying to IES Rabat study abroad program, I struggled with the question of whether or not to stay with a host family so much that I submitted my housing application two weeks late. I had heard good things about homestays from friends who had studied abroad, but was worried about the awkward interactions that the language barrier would create, worried that I might lose all the independence I had gained when I moved to college after high school. Others warned me that I was moving to a dangerous country in which the culture was too different from my own for me to function within the confines of a foreign family unit. It would be more comfortable for me to live with other Americans in a condo in the city.
As a result of spring break, or "Easter holiday" as it is called here in the UK, I was given the chance to travel for three weeks without interruption throughout the end of March and into early April. I used this opportunity to plan a trip to the continent with my fellow University of Iowa student/UEA student and best friend Juliette Sigmond.
Brett Burk, of Oskaloosa, IA, has been awarded a Fulbright U.S. Student Award to pursue an English Teaching Assistantship in Taiwan for 2015-16. Burk graduated from the University of Iowa in December 2014 with a B.A. in linguistics and an emphasis in TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language).
Phil's Day 2015 is a day to celebrate philanthropy and the impact it has on the University of Iowa. These are just a few of the many UI students who were able to study or conduct research abroad in the past year, gaining invaluable experiences and memories that enhanced their education and lives, thanks to the generosity of private donors. Read on to learn about their unique adventures and projects.
A photo exhibition of Wang's work will run through May 12 in the Adler Journalism Building Resource Center. Photographs include representations of bicycle repairmen and construction from the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics.
Julia Julstrom-Agoyo, of Chicago, Illinois, has received a 2015-16 Fulbright U.S. Student Award for an English Teaching Assistantship (ETA) in Malaysia.

I have just gotten back from my two-week journey down the east coast of Australia. Despite the extreme lack of sleep, fast-food diet, and lighter wallet, it was truly the best experience of my life. I am a true believer that some of the greatest lessons take place outside of the classroom, and even more so on a long road trip in a foreign country. In order to accurately give some advice to young travels about to partake on a similar venture, I'm going to give my lessons some structure by ordering them as a list.

Efforts to hinder a protein called IGF-1 not entirely successful, studies find
THURSDAY, May 1 (HealthDay News) -- The idea that prostate cancer can be treated successfully just by blocking the activity of a protein called insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) has been undermined by two new studies.
IGF-1 blockage is a goal being pursed by a number of drug companies and academic researchers, stimulated by studies showing an association between high levels of the protein and prostate cancer risk. Many efforts are aimed at blocking the receptors for IGF-1 in prostate cancer cells.
The new studies showing that blocking IGF-1 receptors isn't as simple a matter as might be wished are published back to back in the May 1 issue of Cancer Research.
One of the studies, by a group led by Norman Greenberg, a member of the clinical research division at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, found an unexpected interaction with a tumor suppressor gene, p53. The researchers created mice whose prostate cells lacked receptors for IGF-1 and crossed them with mice whose P53 gene function was crippled.
"When the function of p53 is abrogated, the cancers seem to accelerate," Greenberg said. "So when you interfere with the IGF-1 receptor, you might be taking the foot off the brake."
That wouldn't matter in human males whose p53 genes were working properly, Greenberg said. "What we are suggesting is that when p53 is compromised, patients might not respond as indicated," he said.
This might mean that a check of p53 function in someone with prostate cancer might be needed before IGF-1 blockage therapy is started, Greenberg said. That idea has to be checked out, he said.
"So we would get data on a patient's tumor before treatment and after treatment, and see if the status of p53 shows whether it would respond more or less to IGF-1 treatment," Greenberg said.

The Golden Gate Bridge doesn't bother me, although I can see why people wouldn't like it. Seeing the actual Golden Gate Bridge and how amazing and grand it really is, and then seeing the DCA version, makes me think they could have done more with it. I hope they can still incorporate a Golden Gate Bridge in the new California Adventure though.
I think it'd be cool if one day, in Pacific Wharf (or if they ever got around to creating a fully-themed San Francisco land), they had the two towers of the Golden Gate bridge peeking from above the buildings, similar to the ship's mast in New Orleans Square.
But the current one needs to go. It doesn't add to the theme of any area, and is so badly proportioned that it looks tacky.
I personally feel that the Golden Gate Bridge belongs at DCA, but just not where the Monorail goes. I agree it can be moved to somewhere else, just not at the entrance.
That' one thing I've yet to do. I've not taken the Monorail going out of Disneyland and go over the GG bridge. But maybe that's not so big of a deal. Still, I'd like to say I did so. But the bridge would definitely be out of place in the new themed area.
I suppose it is actually a good sign that they are paying that much attention to the theming, and getting rid of something that just doesn't fit.
^^^Do nothing? Doesn't one of those buildings flush now?
As others have stated, DCA's Golden Gate Bridge is just plain ugly, and I welcome its removal as part of a much improved DCA.
Attempting to recreate the the Golden Gate Bridge wasn't a bad idea, but they threw out all rules of perspective and scale and used a hideous horizontally squashed design bereft of the architecturally interesting details found on the original.
The only "good" thing about the bridge was that it fit in perfectly with the rest of the uninspired and tacky entrance.
Oh, San Francisco.
YouTube - DCA opening newsreel
Where you can... uhm...
I like the bridge, especially that the monorail goes over it. Last week I was @ DCA with someone who had never been there, and he loved the bridge and the CA letters ~ thought they were really cool.
Just a small observation here, but wasn't the original theme of the entrance to DCA supposed to be like you're walking into one of those cheesy pop-up postcards? (hence the color scheme and overall "whimsical" feel of the entrance plaza) I think the bridge fit in perfectly with that theme...and I always thought it sweet that the monorail ran "on the bridge".

London Wasps v Leicester Tigers - Aviva Premiership match preview
Last Updated: 24/11/12 2:08pm
Wasps will welcome back Joe Simpson and Nick Robinson to their line-up for Sunday's Premiership clash with Leicester Tigers.
Simpson and Robinson have both been declared fit to team up at half-back, with Christian Wade returning on the wing.

Will Taylor and on-loan London Scottish lock Josh Brown are also named on the bench after impressing in the LV= Cup.
Leicester have named Anthony Allen and Thomas Waldrom in their starting XV after the duo were released from the England camp.
A front-row crisis - with Dan Cole, Martin Castrogiovanni and Marcos Ayerza on international duty and Boris Stankovich suspended - means Jonny Harris and Fraser Balmain will start alongside George Chuter. On-loan Nottingham prop Michael Holford, a former Wasps player, provides cover on the bench.
Club captain Geordan Murphy is also named among the replacements after missing the last three matches - with Mathew Tait continuing his return to fitness at full-back.

Replacements: 16 Tom Lindsay, 17 Simon McIntyre, 18 Will Taylor, 19 Josh Brown, 20 Sam Jones, 21 Charlie Davies, 22 Tommy Bell, 23 Lee Thomas.
Leicester: 15 Mathew Tait, 14 Niall Morris, 13 Matt Smith, 12 Anthony Allen, 11 Adam Thompstone, 10 George Ford, 9 Sam Harrison, 1 Jonny Harris, 2 George Chuter, 3 Fraser Balmain, 4 Louis Deacon (c), 5 Graham Kitchener, 6 Jordan Crane, 7 Julian Salvi, 8 Thomas Waldrom.

"We know that we have a tough task ahead of us this weekend.
"Leicester have a very strong squad of players and despite having some members of that squad away on international duty they have quality players who can come in.

Signature Itinerary
Fly Me Over Botswana Safari
Spoil yourself with an unforgettable Botswana wildlife experience and enjoy complimentary flights between the camps.
Botswana is a land of dramatic contrasts, from the crystal-clear waters of the Okavango Delta to the large elephant herds in the Chobe National Park and the unpredictable Savute Channel, which runs dry and floods seemingly at random.
Spend seven nights at a combination of up to three &Beyond lodges and camps in Botswana and enjoy complimentary flights.
What To Expect
8 days / 7 nights
We have put together a sample tour below to showcase how to use this offer.
On arrival at Maun Airport you will be warmly welcomed by an &Beyond representative, who will assist you onto your light aircraft flight to Nxabega Airstrip.
Spend two nights at &Beyond Nxabega Okavango Tented Camp. Accommodation is in an East African-style safari tent, raised on a wooden platform with a private veranda overlooking a floodplain.
Adventures include meandering along the floodplains of the Delta by mokoro (dugout canoe), exploring the deeper channels by motor boat, nature walks accompanied by a professional guide or tracking game in an open 4x4-safari vehicle in the mopane forests and open grasslands. The added highlight of a spot-lit early evening game drive assures you of an unforgettable wildlife experience in Botswana.
After breakfast you will be driven back to the airstrip, where you will hop abroad a light aircraft for a flight deeper into the heart of the Delta.
A maze of sparkling lagoons, meandering channels and overgrown islands teeming with wildlife, Botswana's Okavango Delta lies like a sparkling jewel at the heart of the Kalahari Desert. Known as "the river that never finds the sea", its crystal clear channels spread over the thirstlands of the Kalahari with their papyrus-fringed banks and fertile floating islands. Adapted for a life in and out of water, the elegant red lechwe and shy sitatunga are found in this watery wilderness. Lion, cheetah, leopard and African wild dog share the floodplains with large herds of elephant and buffalo. Hippo inhabit the deeper channels and lagoons, while honey badgers can be seen in broad daylight. Tall termite mounds are homes for families of dwarf and banded mongoose. Experience the delicate details of the glistening waterways on a mokoro (dugout canoe) ride, where iridescent dragonflies, frogs of every colour and jewel-like kingfishers live in the papyrus-lined banks.
Spend two nights at &Beyond Xudum Okavango Delta Lodge. Accommodation is in a playfully crafted safari suite in handsome tones of chocolate and ebony, which features a large bathtub and romantic al fresco shower. Each suite boasts a lofty hide out with magnificent views.
Adventures include an irresistible combination of water and wildlife on twice-daily game drives in open 4x4 safari vehicles, boating and mokoro (dugout canoe) adventures in the Delta and guided walks. Scenic helicopter flights are available at an additional cost.
After a delicious breakfast you will be transferred to &Beyond Xaranna Okavango Tented Camp.
Spend three nights at &Beyond Xaranna Okavango Tented Camp. Accommodation is in an intimate suite raised above the papyrus like a bird's nest. The suites feature private plunge pools and cosy fireplaces.
Activities include twice-daily game drives in open 4x4 safari vehicles, bush walks, mokoro and boating excursions (seasonal).
After a mouth-watering breakfast, we wave a fond farewell as you board your light aircraft for your transfer back to Maun International Airport

MIAMI Mercury Morris influence has been expanded. Apparently, hes now also relevant when it comes to basketball streaks. Earlier this month, when the Miami Heats winning streak had reached 16, forward Shane Battier was asked if the Heat could approach the 22-game run Battiers Houston Rockets had in 2007-08, then the second-longest in NBA history. Like Mercury Morris (said), Dont call me when youre on my block, call me when youre on my front porch, Battier quipped about the former Miami Dolphins running back, who has gained newfound recognition career in recent years with outlandish talk of wanting nobody to equal the 1972 Dolphins undefeated season. Well, the Heat eventually did pass the Rockets. After their streak reached 25 with a 103-89 win Friday over Detroit, it was forward LeBron James turn to bring up Morris. James did so when asked about members of the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers showing great respect toward the Heat as their record 33-game winning streak is being challe...

I don't like to think that I'm someone who can mistakenly take seriously an intentionally hammy piece of acting.
It's possible that what seemed like exaggerated acting to him at the time fit perfectly, for the frantic, unbalanced, guilt-ridden Decker. Windom was the king of guest roles on TV at the time, but offhand I can't remember his being that intense in other shows. Maybe he was stepping into new territory he was unsure of.
We cannot be sure. However, if you ever see some of his other work, say, in The Twilight Zone, you'll know that Windom was not incapable of chewing some scenery. But to my mind it was always to good effect, as it was in "Doomsday".
I try to be fair and consider the times. Even in 1967 television was only, what, 15 years old? Most of these guys--including a certain balding Canadian actor of the time--were "classically trained". I think that means yelling loudly on an off-Broadway stage.
I'm not knocking them. That's what they knew to be "acting". The fact that television is a cool medium had not quite made it through the ranks yet. Some had figured it out, but most hadn't.
Regardless, I give Mr. Windom a huge nod in making that episode forever memorable.

Mike's 3DMark Commentary
I agree with your ideas and beliefs on why 3dmarks is useful and why its not. However I don't really care for nV's change of heart on this issue. As you stated 3dmark has never been a good gauge for judging how well cards do in real games. But ask your self has it ever? Did it at some point fall from being super accurate to what it is today?
No it never has, never was and probably never will be. However in the past nV has never taken this stance. They as well as we knew that it was not the "gamers benchmark" but why did they not say something back for 3dmark2000? 20001? Why now? What really burns my bacon with their stance is that nV actively marketed and pushed their Performance analyzer which only went out an read the Orb data base and reported back which nV card the users should get. Then the sold this to companies like Westwood so they use that to recommend nV cards in their games (C&C:Renagade for example). Why is nV all of a sudden worried about the gamers benchmark?
I am sorry Mike but I wont cut them slack on this department. nV has always backed 3dmarks scores and now when the tech in 3dmark does not benefit them (for example 3dmark2003 using PS1.4 which nV dose not have native hardware support for), they get all hissy.
My understanding of the situation is amazingly simple. And if I'm right, this decision makes a LOT of sense.
1. nVidia driver team is *very* busy ATM. They're trying to optimize the NV30, to work on NV34 software shader routines and to optimize NV31 because it's going to be announced soon. Thus, if they can gain time by not worrying too much about 3DMark 2003 optimizations, they might actually get the other things done in time.
2. nVidia expects ATI to have put a lot of time on optimizing their 3DMark 2003 score. They'd be delighted if they could have made them lose their time.
3. 3DMark 2003 use few *different* shader programs. The NV30 is actually faster than the R300 when a lot of shader programs are used, because they're stored in video memory. So they obviously don't like that.
4. 3DMark 2003 uses VS2.0. and PS2.0., but *all* of those shaders are executed in one pass on the R300 AFAIK. That means nVidia isn't getting any advantage from their huge NV30 PS/VS flexibility. That sure doesn't make them happy...
Personally, I really don't think nVidia even cares to the slightest degree about PS1.4.
nVidia doesn't care about the NV2x anymore. What they want, now, is a huge NV3x line-up: everything from $99 to $499 will soon be NV3x. So that's really not their problem...
Let me put it this way...Almost everybody can understand nVidia's point. Hell, there have been a LOT of people expressing those exact same sentiments for years! Here's the problem...
The problem is that, all of a sudden, nVidia doesn't want to play by the rules. You can take virtually any of nVidia's key complaints about 3DMark2003, and apply it to 3DMarkxx. Why? It's utterly clear why. Because they are no longer THE high-performance leader, and they won't be for some time.
It's spoiled milk, and we all know it. So, when nVidia is no longer able to claim the performance crown, they decide to withdraw from the 3DMark team, and complain. Never voiced those concerns at all when 3DMark 99and 3DMark 2000 were doing similar tests. It's just totally lame, and we all know it.
I totally agree with Typedef Enum,
Hell I been preaching all the time that 3DMark is just a pissing contest, nothing more nothing less. Using the games you play is what should be used in testing frame rate, etc... I've heard people say using UT2k3 is stupid. It's so CPU limited. Even if it is. It's a game alot of people play. So even if it's CPU limited I rather see those results then a synthetic benchmark no one plays.
Typedef Enum said it perfectly. This just makes Nvidia look like whiners. Now that they aren't the performance leaders they are crying this and that.
D. Solomon Jr.
As I said, I think there *is* a new element: drivers.
In the past, nVidia always had a lot of time to optimize 3DMark. Today, they don't because they got their driver team already working on a LOT of things at once.
Does this make nVidia sudden refusal of 3DMark 2003 more acceptable? IMO: Yes, a little more. But it still isn't perfectly acceptable.
Their opinion will probably shift gradually with time, as their product gradient fills out...
I think their standing was sort of a knee jerk reaction, cuz everyone's so hungry right now, and conclusions are being drawn faster than nvidia can come up with answers.
Let me also add one more thing...
It's utterly insulting, IMHO, to see nVidia employees say things to the effect of...
"We would be much better off optimizing our drivers for actual games, rather than synthetic benchmarks."
I don't know who these guys are fooling, but it's certainly not me. nVidia rised to the top by doing that EXACT same thing...what the heck are they talking about? They have been tweaking their own drivers to sport significantly high Quake/3DMark numbers for years, and then using that data to demonstrate just how much performance their engineers could eek out of their drivers...
and then the PR guys would say, "This driver will yield some 40% increase."
Anyhow, this part of their response is the most laughable, IMHO. I mean, talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
I don't know what the sudden backlash against 3DMark is all about from people (nVidia, nVnews, and [H] most notably). It's not like reviewers only focus on 3DMark scores, most reviews I read have all types of different games from different genres using the two main APIs (DX and OGL). Frankly, any review that states only 3DMark numbers isn't worth reading.
Even the most hardcore nVidia fan can see that this is nothing but an nV temper tantrum on par with what you'd expect from a child who can't get their own way. Is this immature attitude supposed to be part of nVidias "new marketing" approach?
obviously not true of any of the major sites, but was and is still true of many of the smaller sites, magazines, etc.
Isn't this sort of ironic. Considering ATi and their Quake3.exe debacle in the drivers. How everyone harped on them for this cheating bit. Now it seems that people are coming out of the wood work saying that Nvidia did indeed optimize drivers for the synthetic benchmark when before all of this no one really wanted to say such words. Now it seems people can't get enough of saying that Nvidia is mad because their drivers aren't optimized or what not for a specific benchmark.
It's weird. First Nvidia users wouldn't admit that Nvidia was indeed doing that. Now that this has happened you can't get enough of them saying that they are mad because their optimizations aren't happening right or what not.
It's like the Twilight Zone! :eek:
D. Solomon Jr.
About the the only thing I think 3dmark is good for is stressing the graphics subsystems to test overclocking. Anything else is pittance. I bought my video card to play games and play games is what I do.

No Excuses - One year of hard study
So. I will be entering my third year at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco this fall. Due to financial reasons, it's going to be my last. Of course, I'm not anywhere near ready enough to graduate. This was eating at me since last semester ended, I wasn't sure what to do with myself.
Last night, I was seriously pondering my future, and where I was, and where I wanted to be as an artist. And I realized... Fuck it. I don't need to go to a school like that to develop as an artist. I remembered that the only reason I went in the first place was because I had no discipline. But now I do. I'm confident that I have a pretty good understanding of where I'm at, and what I need to study in order to get better (thanks mostly to this place). Besides, I'm 23... I need to get my ass in gear. I'm so far behind people my age.
So here's my plan. I'm going to finish out this last year, while I do my own studies. I'm going to bust my ass because I am still considering applying for TAD in 2011, and I can't go without the scholarships, so I have to get good enough.
In the mean time, I live in the Bay Area! There's tons of sketch groups and figure classes, I have no excuses.
Well, for the next 8 weeks, I'm staying with my parents in Pennsylvania, where I don't have access to live figure classes and what not. So I devised a schedule (set as my desktop bg) that I'm going to adhere to until I moved back to SF in the fall. This is temporary, once I start classes and get a job, it'll have to change.
I'm starting this as soon as I'm done posting here, and I'll post what all I did later today.
I'll post some work from last semester to tide y'all over 'till then.
Aaaaaand I promise I'll refrain from being so damned long-winded in here from now on.
Anywho, the bug is the front cover of one of my sketchbooks, the creature thing was for my digital imaging class, the roe deer is from a photo, and the figures where done in my figure drawing class. They're all blue and red because I used colored graphite. The red one, my best to date, is 18 x 24, and took about 4 hours.

I'm posting the schedule here so I can update it when I have to change it.
I want everyone to be able to see what I'm doing so you have expectations, therefore it will help me from slacking off.

Sounds great, sooner is all ways better than later when it comes to drawing.
Great idea with a schedule! Hope you follow it well! I like how it ranges so you wont get bored too, setting a nice example. Cant wait to see how this sketchbook turns out.

EASTON, PA. – The Seton Hall men's cross country took its first crack at a 5-mile course this season when they hit the course at Metzgar Fields for the Leopard Invitational hosted by Lafayette University on Saturday afternoon. The Pirates were competing for the final time prior to the 2013 BIG EAST Championship, ultimately finishing ninth in the 12-team field.
Sophomore Ryan Flannery (Forked River, N.J) returned to the top of the lineup after battling an injury last time out at the Metropolitan Championships, finishing with the top time on the squad and 54th overall with a time of 27:25.10 that equates to better than a 5:30/mile pace.
Senior Carl Johnston (Surrey, British Columbia) crossed the line slightly over 10 seconds later in 58th place (27:35.30) and was immediately followed to the finish by freshman Sean Kip (Union, N.J.) who clocked in at 27:36.07 to rank in the top-three on the team for the second consecutive meet after leading The Hall at the Mets. Kip has also now scored in all five meets since finishing sixth on the team in the season-opener.
Freshman Cameron Quisenberry (Owensboro, Ky.) recorded a time of 27:47.56 that was fourth-fastest on the squad and ranked 67th in a field that included 143 male competitors while classmate Victor Ricci (Narragansett, R.I.) posted a time of 28:13.19 to place fifth among the 13 Pirates in action and 83rd overall.
With the efforts, the newcomers Quisenberry and Ricci remain the only members of the team who have scored in every meet to this point in the season.
Junior Tyler Orner (Sinking Spring, Pa.) picked up a 90th-place finish with a time of 28:21.24, helping the Pirates finish as one of six teams to boas seven runners who recorded an individual score of 65 points or less.
Seton Hall finished with a team score of 239 while American University won the Leopard Invitational for the second-straight year with a combined total of 21 points.
The finish wraps up a regular season in which the men's team recorded four runner-up finishes and on three occasions was within nine points of capturing a team victory. A trip to Marquette for the BIG EAST championship awaits in two weeks-time, as the Pirates will look to make their mark on the conference's biggest stage when they go head-to-head with some familiar foes as well as some fresh faces.
The 2013 BIG EAST Championship will be held at the Wayne E. Dannehl National Cross Country Course on Saturday, November 2. Start-time is scheduled for 11:00 a.m. central.
