Arizona mom of long-missing baby released from prison
PHOENIX -- An Arizona woman convicted in her son's disappearance nearly five years ago was released from prison Friday.
Elizabeth Johnson was released from the Perryville state prison in Goodyear shortly after midnight Thursday. News footage showed her walking out of the prison and leaving in a SUV driven by her attorney, Marc Victor.
Johnson is "happy to be out, excited about her future and optimistic about how things are going to go for her," Victor told The Associated Press.
He said he arranged the early morning release with the Arizona Department of Corrections to make it less traumatic for Johnson.
Department spokesman Doug Nick said early morning releases aren't unusual but he could not specify how often they occur.
Nick said Johnson's term ended at midnight. "We have no reason to hold an inmate longer than absolutely necessary. We have no right to do that," he said.
Johnson was given a more than 5-year sentence in 2012 for custodial interference and unlawful imprisonment in the Christmastime 2009 disappearance of her then-8-month-old son, Gabriel. The baby has never been found despite searches in trash containers, a Texas landfill and elsewhere.
Authorities said Johnson initially told the boy's father that she killed her son Gabriel and dumped him in a trash bin, but she later recanted and said she gave the infant to a couple at a park in San Antonio, Texas.
A jury deadlocked on a kidnapping charge, the most serious count against Johnson, who turns 28 this month.
"What I have done is unbelievable," she told the judge at her sentencing hearing. "There's not really anything I can say for myself."
Johnson was credited for almost three years spent in jail awaiting trial and now faces four years' probation.
Victor said Friday that Johnson has come to terms with her conviction and incarceration.
"She's put it behind her," he said, adding later: "She feels her sentence was tough but just."
Victor said he doesn't think Johnson has decided where she'll live but she has said she wants to work with single mothers in crisis and as an advocate for prisoners' rights.

Here's a further take; my 12-year old son has no real idea who Rossi is, but he's watched Lorenzo for two-plus seasons. My son has seen '300' and knows why Lorenzo wears a spartan-scarlet boot and a hoplite insignia on his x-lite helmet. In short, my son, with no interest in historical winners or marketing stars, roots for Jorge."
As I said those other venues are better for 12-year olds.
Agreed,Rossi has won more races and shown more class in doing so,Lorenzo does the goofy after race antics trying to copy Rossi and it ends up looking lame at best.
Rossi is an elder statesman and has just broken a leg with the bones sticking out on the track and come back and run respectably because he loves to race. Lorenzo is a fast kid no doubt,not many if any have or will have a run like Rossi and done more for drawing attention to the sport.
Running at their pace with broken or bent body parts is tricky but they all do it. Comments taken out of context are easy to come by.

Re: X freezes with FX5200
AGP support is one frequent cause of crashes. Disabling it (option 0) or switching to agpgart mode (option 2) is worth a try. To your device section try adding one of the following:
Option "NvAGP" "0"
(Disabled, more likely to work but slower graphics performance)
Option "NvAGP" "2"
(agpgart, Less likely to work but still worth a try due to the faster graphics performance)
I suggest trying option 0 first and option 2 if that fixes the problem.
Also you may want to try getting the latest BIOS from Asus if the configuration change doesn't help.
For me agpgart works with the 2.6.4 kernel in SuSE 9.1 and the same model of motherboard you have (A7V8X-X). I have not needed to upgrade my BIOS.
Also, I have an FX5200 board but for BoardName I have "0x0322". I think the 0x board names may vary within a model due to AGP speed, Video RAM size, or something like that, but I'm not sure.

In the world of fruit, figs are having a moment. Not only are they a delicious option to include in your wedding menu, but they look great when incorporated into different decor elements. With Marsala hailed as the color of the year, figs will work very well with that palette. If you're struggling with the idea of using figs for anything other than eating, then we've picked out 10 ways that you can use them.
1. Mixed Display
To add something extra to pink floral arrangements, mix in blackberries and figs for a dash of deep color. You can use this display as a table runner for long tables or with gold vases or bowls for a centerpiece.
2. Mini Cheese Table
Take the cheese board to another level, with these beyond adorable tables. If you're looking for a post-dinner treat or to give your guests something to nibble on during your photography session, this is a lovely idea. Pile up some cheese, focaccia bread, figs, olives and berries for a mini feast.
3. Sangria with Apples, Pomegranate and Figs
How delicious would this be for a signature drink? Give a traditional sangria recipe a little twist by adding apples, pomegranate and figs. The stunning rich color of the drink will look perfect in a similar color palette.
4. Fruit and Florals
Using fruit in your wedding decor is a great way to add some depth and to bulk up your flowers in an inexpensive way. The dark tone of the figs works well with cream blooms and dark green leaves.
5. The Cheese Cake
If you don't have a sweet tooth or simply want a wedding cake alternative, cheese cakes are a delicious option. Figs and berries are the ideal decoration, surrounded by greenery.
6. Place Card
A single fig used as a place card has a simple yet effective look for a dramatic table.
7. Fig Crate Centerpiece
A wooden crate or box is another way to display your floral centerpieces. Sometimes a vase just won't do. Complete the setting with a combination of plums and figs.
8. Naked Cake
Naked wedding cakes need very little decoration. Some carefully arranged figs are all you need.
9. Hanging Fruit
Forget lights and hanging lanterns, if you have a bright and open space then hang fruit instead! We love this interesting way to display figs and it will really had a twist to your decor.
10. Fig, Rosemary, & Goat Cheese Tartines
For a family-style dinner or as passed hors d'oeuvres these fig and cheese tartines are the perfect flavor combination.

We've seen ombre details applied in so many ways for wedding decor and attire. From tablecloths and napkins to dresses and hair, this is a trend that is sure to stay around. We love the idea of using ombre flowers to elevate floral arrangements.
Can you think of anything more romantic than saying your vows in front of a dreamy floral backdrop? The fuchsia blooms cascade into cream flowers and will really transform your ceremony space.
A wedding cake with blue ombre sugar flowers is a great way to incorporate this trend.
Add some interest to your bouquet with an ombre effect in classic colors.
You can add some romance to any venue space by placing rose petals down the aisle. Go for gradient colors for an ombre look.
Abundant floral centerpieces will wow your guests, especially when they see the color palette. Roses are a lovely option for an ombre arrangement, in three strong colors.
For an outdoor wedding, a stunning hanging decoration will create a lovely backdrop for photographs or the ceremony.
A simple tiered cake can be transformed with ombre sugar flowers. You can experiment with different blooms and textures as well as adding in some black and white anemone, for a modern look.
Take your escort cards to the next level, by arranging them on a bed of ombre blooms for your guests to collect.
If you're going for a bold jewel tone such as dark purple, you can lighten up your settings with an ombre effect.
If you prefer subtle tones, an aisle runner that starts with a light pink and goes into white is a great option for a classic color scheme.

The Oneonta Gorge is one of Oregon's absolutely gorgeous hidden treasures. With its lush greenery, towering basalt walls, trickling waterfalls and rivers, photographer Jess Hunter knew it would be a perfect location for a romantic styled elopement shoot. Here's what she had to say about it:
Sometimes it really helps to get ideas out of my head. For the longest time I had envisioned flowing dresses and lush florals amidst the riverbeds of Oneonta Gorge. This summer that vision came to life in the form of an elopement inspiration shoot amongst the moss covered walls and trickling stream. Thanks to some AMAZING vendors, this shoot became a reality.

At the mercy of the U.S. government – due to visa issues for the groom – and with only 90 days to plan and execute their wedding, Kathleen and Charles had to quickly decide what was most important to them and what details weren't worth their time. The couple chose a short yet traditional ceremony, but opted to get creative with the rest of their wedding planning. They enlisted the help of their family and friends to make the details of their day extra special, and despite the short time frame, the newlyweds couldn't have been happier with the results of their gorgeous plantation wedding!
Special thanks to Mick Schulte for sharing all the beautiful photos of Kathleen and Charles's day with us!

Why did you have an intimate wedding?
When planning our wedding, we quickly aligned on how we envisioned our day; we wanted something elegant, yet laid-back. What was most important to us was to spend time with all of the people we love as we transitioned to becoming a new family. I felt that the wedding was going to be a great opportunity for us to communicate our values as a couple. We wanted to show that the relationships in our lives are more important to us than material objects, overspending, and the undue stress that can come with planning a wedding. An intimate wedding let us focus on what was most important, prevented us from being bogged down in too many details, let us spend time with everyone we loved….and actually eat at (and enjoy) our own reception!
What are some of the challenges that you faced planning an intimate wedding?
My husband is Canadian, so when we got his fiancé visa, we were given exactly 90 days to plan and execute our wedding. While we were engaged, we couldn't pick a date because we were at the mercy of the U.S. government to tell us when we could marry. We tried to explain early on to family members that the wedding was going to be planned quickly and we wouldn't know a lot of details in advance. We also didn't know if we were going to be able to plan a full-blown wedding in that time, or if we'd only be able to go to the magistrate and have a reception later to celebrate. Since we had a narrow time frame, we had to focus right away on what we weren't willing to compromise on and immediately let go of details that weren't worth agonizing over. Communicating our reasons for electing to do some things at the wedding over others was a challenge, but ultimately at the end of the day everyone enjoyed themselves and so many new friendships blossomed from that weekend.
Was it difficult to pare down the guest list?
Actually, it wasn't. Early in our engagement we set that precedence of "we have no idea when it will happen," so everyone was really understanding and eager to jump in and help when the time came. His family is small and we both have only a few close-knit friends, so the guest list was right at what we were comfortable with. We wanted to make sure to include everyone, even if they couldn't be there, so after the wedding we sent announcements with links to our website so we could share our photos and keep everyone we cared about in the loop.
Did you have any 'issues' with the small guest list from friends and family? If so, how did you address them?
There were no major issues, but you do need to take the time to explain one-on-one with your family and friends what you are doing and why you are doing it. Once they understand where you're coming from, they are more likely to be on board with your decisions.
What were the highlights of the ceremony?
Our ceremony was short, simple, and traditional. We went that route as a nod to those in the family that preferred a more religious ceremony. The ceremony was one of the aspects that we had no notions about before the planning process, so we were happy to go with something that would make everyone more comfortable, especially since we did so many other non-traditional things that day. The best part of the ceremony was when the best man dropped the rings (after saying all day that he wouldn't lose them); everyone laughed and that broke the tension, making the rest of the ceremony relaxed. Afterwards, I got to recreate a photo with my dad that we originally took at his wedding when I was only 8 years old. That moment was great because it really reminded me of how much time has passed and that my husband and I are entering a new, exciting adventure in our lives.
What were the highlights of the reception?
Watching everyone get to know each other! It was amazing to see our friends and family becomes friends with one another. Also, my aunt did the flowers and decorations for both the ceremony and reception. The personal touches she brought to the reception were so wonderful and we received so many compliments on our decor. Everyone kept asking which vendor I used for the flowers and they were so impressed that it was a family member who was responsible for everything.
What was the best thing about having an intimate wedding?
So many people told me that it was "our day," but for us we knew that it wasn't just our day, but a day for our family and friends as well. My family is so incredibly talented and we wanted to get everyone involved in some way with the wedding. My husband designed our website, invitations, and programs. My mom did the calligraphy on the invitations, and my aunt, of course, did the decorations. The size of the wedding and the time-frame of our planning gave us the opportunity to involve our family in the details that we otherwise might not have had time for. We saw having an intimate wedding as a creative challenge and our entire family was right there with us to take it all in stride.
What advice do you have for couples who are considering an intimate wedding?
It was stressful to realize that there aren't many resources for people who are planning an intimate wedding in just a few short months. Personally, I struggled with finding an off-the-rack wedding dress that I was excited about, but eventually I found something I loved. I'm optimistic that more resources will be available in the future for couples with time or budget restrictions, but just be prepared to work hard and have a few freak-out moments while you're figuring it out. If budget, time, and the size of the wedding are all concerns, you really do have to get creative in the planning process and look at non-standard wedding options to make your day work. People may say "why are you doing it that way?" throughout the process, but just keep moving forward and make the decision that feels right for you. Luckily today there is more support than ever for couples who have a time crunch or strict budget limitations (or both). Make sure you take a moment to step back from the planning process, take it all in, and enjoy yourself!

In a letter to the editor published today in The Star Ledger, ASPCA President and CEO Matt Bershadker urges New Jersey Governor Chris Christie to take action on a pending pet purchasing bill.
When a family buys a puppy from a New Jersey pet store, they're doing more than just exchanging money for a pet. Most pet store puppies come from puppy mills, so when consumers buy these dogs from pet stores, they are in fact supporting an industry that systematically abuses animals for profit.
In puppy mills across the country, dogs are typically stacked on top of one another in tiny, wire-floored cages that can injure their paws and legs. Female breeding dogs are forced to bear litter after litter without any time for their bodies to recover. Once they can no longer produce puppies, these mothers are often callously discarded or killed.
Conditions at puppy mills are reprehensible and intolerable, but many consumers are unaware that these sites are by far the leading source of pet store puppies. If pet stores are legally allowed to use unethical and inhumane breeders and brokers and to keep those sources secret, consumers have no way of making informed decisions when they bring a new pet into their family.
In December, New Jersey lawmakers took a strong step to insert accountability and transparency into the industry by unanimously passing S.1870 to amend New Jersey's current Pet Purchase Protection Law. This new law would force New Jersey pet stores to disclose the breeders and brokers that supply them, giving consumers a chance to make informed decisions. It would also prohibit pet stores from selling puppies from breeders that fail to comply with even minimal federal and state standards, helping to put pressure on some of the worst industry participants to significantly improve their practices.
This law protects both animals and consumers, and we're grateful to have worked closely with the bill's sponsors and to have helped push it through the legislative process.
Now it's up to New Jersey Governor Chris Christie to take the final step by signing this bill. New Jersey residents can help by contacting the governor and telling him that Garden State animals and consumers deserve to be protected, not exploited.

For nearly 150 years, the ASPCA has called New York City home, and we're proud to have helped the city and its animal rescue institutions make great strides in recent years. New York City currently has the lowest dog and cat euthanasia rate per capita in the country. Animal cruelty laws are rigorously enforced in record-breaking numbers by the NYPD in partnership with the ASPCA. And, just yesterday, the New York City Council approved groundbreaking legislation that will curb puppy mills by prohibiting city pet shops from selling animals obtained from breeders who fail to meet even the most basic standards of care. New York City is a place where we protect animals from suffering, not exploit them for profit.
The positive momentum we've created should absolutely extend to New York City carriage horses, which is why we support Mayor de Blasio's proposal to phase out these rides on New York City streets. Using these animals to pull heavy loads of tourists for long hours through loud and congested city streets is simply unnatural, unnecessary, and an undeniable strain on their quality of life, and we'll work closely with rescue networks to ensure these horses are humanely retired. The ASPCA was founded in part to help horses, and we've devoted tremendous effort and resources over the years to bring a permanent end to both domestic horse slaughter and the export of American horses for slaughter abroad.
Naturally, retiring this industry will have financial repercussions, but the Mayor's bill reflects a strong intent to offset those consequences with workforce training programs and resources available not only to drivers, but to owners, license holders, and horse stable employees. The proposal will prevent renewals of carriage licenses when they expire in 2016, giving displaced workers time to transition to more contemporary industries. Under this bill, owners will also be prohibited from selling horses to slaughter.
So when posed with a choice between giving these horses a quality of life they deserve, or justifying an antiquated industry on the sole basis of tradition and financial gain, it's clear what the New York City Council should do, based on the humane values New York City holds.

Like many, we've been watching the situation in Moreauville, Louisiana, where a local "vicious dog" ordinance threatened the lives of innocent pit bulls and Rottweilers—including one serving as a loyal therapy dog for O'Hara Owen and her family. We're relieved to hear local leaders say they have repealed the unjust law.
The ASPCA has long opposed legislation that targets specific breeds of dogs, because all dogs need to be judged on the merits of their individual behavior, not stereotyped based on misperceptions about their breed. Fortunately, many state legislatures agree. Currently, there are no state-level laws that discriminate against certain dog breeds, though a number of cities and municipalities do have breed-specific laws in place. Eighteen states have taken the extra step to ban breed-specific legislation altogether.
When safety is a community issue, we support laws that focus not on breed but on individual dog behavior, including those prohibiting prolonged chaining and tethering.
But behind this unfair law and its nearly tragic consequences is another story that's just as important: the story of how a community's voice—whether it's a geographical community or one united by common values—can create meaningful change, save lives, and reverse something as seemingly untouchable as established law.
We applaud local decision-makers for listening, and extend our services to help craft new ordinance language that will offer the intended protections to Moreauville while avoiding the tragic pitfalls of breed-specific legislation.
This ordinance—and the fate of Moreauville pets—only got a second look when individual voices online, and later, news media brought it to light. As a result, our culture is a little more humane and a little more civilized today than it was yesterday. That may sound like a tiny difference to some, but to families like the Owens and to those of us dedicated to this cause, it's life-changing.

There's no denying that puppies and kittens are hard to resist—just see the reactions to our recent graduation ceremony at the ASPCA Kitten Nursery. But two other undeniable truths deserve even more of our attention: First, older shelter animals are just as loving, loyal and delightful as young ones. Second, senior animals are typically the last to be adopted and the first to be euthanized.
This is why Adopt a Senior Pet Month is so important. Every shelter has older dogs or cats in its care, but stigmas often deprive these animals of the right to be fairly considered.
Some adopters hesitate because they believe older pets are less likely to bond with new owners—this is not the case. While many senior animals have spent years or decades with previous owners, age is not a determining factor in an animal's affection toward new owners or his/her ability to bond with them at any point. In fact, owners often easily form bonds with older pets due to the animals' typically calmer dispositions, their familiarity with home environments, their experience dealing with other animals, and previous training.
Other myths about older pets include them being sick, unfriendly, dirty, and unsafe around young children. But none of that can be assumed any more than one would assume it with a newborn pet. Your local shelter or rescue group will be in the best position to assess potential matches, so be sure to ask lots of questions.
Beyond the misconceptions, there are clear benefits to adopting a senior pet. For starters, their behavior is more predictable because their personalities are already well developed. You'll also know their full-grown size and activity level, and how that might affect your lifestyle.
Senior pets are also easier to train and require less monitoring than puppies or kittens, who sometimes can't distinguish between a safe situation and a dangerous one. It's nice to adopt a dog who likely knows what "no" means.
Additionally, senior animals won't have teething issues and will come into your life already house-trained, meaning they're less likely to cause destruction in your home—especially if you're away for long periods. Older pets are also more accustomed to the predictable daytime and nighttime patterns of humans.
Organizations like Susie's Senior Dogs, Muttville, and The Grey Muzzle Organization work hard to promote senior animals who are at increased risk of euthanasia, but you can play a crucial part by adopting one yourself, as well as by encouraging friends, family and colleagues to do the same. When you adopt an older pet, you're not only bringing incredible joy into your home, but rescuing an animal that's very close to peril.
Some inspiring senior success stories include Marnie, a senior Shih Tzu found abandoned and later adopted in 2012; and Arabelle, a senior pit bull rescued from a massive dog fighting operation we helped dismantle in 2013. Both of these dogs were adopted despite these deeply held misperceptions, and each brought as much love, enjoyment, and loyalty into their new homes as would an animal of any age.

One of the most remarkable things about animal advocacy is that, while our mission has never been more urgent, the opportunity to create substantial and lasting change has never been more obtainable.
Whether you represent an organization with strong support and national reach like the ASPCA, or are simply in a position to make a difference locally, every effort has a life-saving impact.
Last week, we recognized some of the most remarkable people and animals on the front lines of that effort by bestowing our annual ASPCA Humane Awards. The recipients we honored include incredibly resilient dogs and cats, organizations tackling animal cruelty and transforming communities, a congressional leader who championed compassion like no other, and a child who gave her most valuable gift to animals in need.
Collectively, they open our eyes to not only to the challenges of protecting animals from cruelty, but also, our ability and duty to better their lives, and – as a result – improve our own. I hope these stories are shared and appreciated so that such laudable behavior will one day shift from remarkable acts by dedicated individuals to social norms of our entire culture.
To that end, I share these stories with you now.
ASPCA® Tommy P. Monahan Kid of the Year, Annika Glover
Alabama native Annika Glover, 11, had been battling a cancerous brain tumor for nearly four years. But when she became a participant in the Make-A-Wish program, she put the needs of vulnerable animals ahead of her own. Annika used her one wish to save shelter animals. This wish was granted by the Alabama chapter of Make-A-Wish, which donated $7,000 in Annika's name to the Pets Are Worth Saving (P.A.W.S.) rescue group in Florence, Alabama. With her cancer now in remission, Annika spends much time volunteering at shelter events.
ASPCA® Presidential Service Award recipient, Congressman Jim Moran
When Congressman Jim Moran announced that he would retire at the end of his term in 2014, it became clear that animals would lose a longtime ally in Congress. Moran's unwavering dedication to ending animal cruelty gave a compassionate voice to the voiceless in the halls of Congress. The twelve-term Congressman from Northern Virginia has been one of Capitol Hill's strongest champions for animal welfare, advocating for causes including ending horse slaughter, cracking down on abusive animal fighting, and introducing a bill to phase out animal testing for cosmetics in the United States. As co-chair of the bipartisan Congressional Animal Protection Caucus, Rep. Moran worked with legislators on both sides of the aisle to create humane, common-sense legislation, ensuring a strong legacy of accomplishments and advocacy that will no doubt inspire other leaders.
Cat of the Year, Studley
Studley the cat was found abandoned and starved along the side of the road in Washington state in 2006. After making a full recovery, Studley became a therapy cat—giving love and comfort to people in need. The only therapy cat in the program out of more than 30 animals in the Providence Animal-Assisted Activities and Therapy program (PAAA/T), Studley has been a regular visitor to the Providence St. Peter Hospital in Olympia, Washington, where's he's offered comfort to patients of all ages since 2007.
Dog of the Year, Jonny Justice
Jonny Justice was one of 49 dogs rescued from unimaginable cruelty as part of the 2007 Bad Newz Kennels dog fighting investigation, resulting in the conviction of NFL quarterback Michael Vick and others.
The ASPCA assisted in the recovery and analysis of forensic evidence from Vick's property, which helped convict him of operating a competitive dog fighting ring, a federal offense that led to prison terms for Vick and three co-defendants. We conducted medical and behavioral evaluations on the rescued dogs, and placed the 48 who were behaviorally fit for rehabilitation with sanctuaries, rescues, foster homes and adopters throughout the country.
The black and white pit bull, who previously had few if any positive interactions with people or other dogs, was given a new life when he was adopted by foster parents in San Francisco. In 2008, Jonny found his true calling as a therapy dog with a particular affection for children, participating in programs where children practice their language skills by reading aloud to him. These days he spends much of his time offering love and support to terminally ill children receiving medical treatment, and inspired a line of plush toys in his image.
ASPCA® Henry Bergh Award recipient, Lori Weise of Downtown Dog Rescue
During her daily commute eighteen years ago to a furniture factory on the edge of Skid Row in Los Angeles, Lori Weise routinely saw stray dogs suffering from terrible abuse and horrific neglect. Inspired to act, Lori and her coworkers created Downtown Dog Rescue, which has evolved into a large volunteer-based animal charity that rescues dogs and assists underserved communities in South East Los Angeles, Watts and Compton. In 2013, Downtown Dog Rescue created the South L.A. Shelter Intervention Program, which provides pet owners resources to keep their pets at home, rather than abandon them or relinquish them to shelters.
ASPCA® Public Service Award recipient, Commissioner William J. Bratton on behalf of the New York City Police Department
In early 2014, the ASPCA initiated a historic and groundbreaking partnership with the NYPD in which the NYPD responds to all animal cruelty complaints city-wide, while the ASPCA provides expanded direct care support for animal cruelty victims. Thanks to the dedication of tens of thousands of NYPD officers—newly-trained and firmly on the case of animal abuse—animal cruelty arrests in the first six months of the program increased nearly 160 percent, and the number of animals rescued and treated by the ASPCA increased 180 percent. This past summer, the NYPD formed the department's first Animal Cruelty Investigation Squad, which will solely focus on serving the abused and neglected animals of the city, making New York City one of the safest places in America for animals.

But yesterday was a day to get some things done. I was overdue on laundry and bike maintenance. Do I dropped off laundry and went to figure out where I could change my oil.
I went to CATours here OK in town. I had heard of them from other reports and had walked by a hundred times when I was here before, but had never stopped in. Well I can confirm every nice thing I had read. The guys there were/are fantastic.
First, they told me that there was a place I could change my oil. The same shop that works on their bikes would let me use some space. Plus the have me ideas about where to get some oil. I left to track that down. I also stopped by my old school to say hi to Billy and see if any students I knew were there. In fact, many of them were, including Freddy from when we were staying at the same house. It was his last day of classes. I agreed to meet him later for a beer.
Then I went to a few places in town. I found oil. Motel again, but in 20w50.
I also did some other shopping, and picked up my laundry. Then I brought my bike back to CAtours because the repair shop is hard to find. One of their guides David "Frenchie " ended up leading me and hanging out while I changed it. Then we went back to CAtours and chatted some more. They also ended up writing out some great directions to take a fun road over to lake Atitlan which is where I will go next. Really great guys.
I hung out with them and some patrons until I had to leave to meet up with Freddy and the others. Then I hung out with them until I had trouble keeping my eyes open and went back to the hotel.
Today it is time to do a little more maintenance, like chain lubing, adjusting, etc. I also want to get my hair cut again. So I will try and go back to the same place I went before.

I decided against it, first impressions and all. Sometime last year I was on a site where a guy had a pretty similar name, 12"pianist or something similar.
Oh yeah, music stopped being produced in 1991 as far as I know. Maybe you guys didn't get the memo.

Cheap to run and highly efficient. Thanks to its A++ energy rating, the Bosch KIR18V60 fridge will cost just 96p a month to run, which is loads cheaper than an older model. Its 154 litre capacity provides ample room for a small family's weekly fresh food shop, and there's a handy vegetable drawer at the bottom. The drawer even has a rippled base to allow for better air circulation, so food like lettuce and tomatoes will stay fresher for longer.

"I bought this fridge to replace the Bosch fridge I bought 22 years ago-yes it lasted that long. Sadly the newer version has less space and is badly designed. The door shelves are fixed in that you can remove the shelf fronts but the shelf heights are static as the base of the shelf is moulded to the door-does not take a 330ml can! The 1992 version had removable door shelves ie by removing a shelf you could increase the height of the one below-not this version. The bottom door shelf takes a 2 litre bottle height but the rest are useless-eggs, cheese and butter are all they can support. The levels for the internal shelving are badly designed too. I find it extraordinary that a product could be less well designed for the needs of the modern consumer eg for storing cans and cartons of various sizes. This integrated fridge is not cheap. I have a standby undercounter fridge which cost a third of the price and has a more flexible and larger capacity than this one. This fridge barely meets my current needs. The older version met the greater needs of a growing family. Very disappointed."

Because this fridge is so efficient, it'll use 40% less energy than equivalent A rated models. This means it will cost you just 96p a month to run, so you can spend more money on the important task of filling it up. As it's built in, it'll hide seamlessly behind your cupboard doors and, because the door is reversible, it'll fit any kitchen layout.
There's enough room for a couple or small family's weekly fresh food shop, spread across 4 shelves. All of these are made of safety glass, which is really strong and sturdy. This means they will hold more weight than your bog standard shelf, which is great if you need to store chill a big casserole or lasagne. For further convenience, 3 of the shelves are adjustable, which will allow you to make room for taller items like bottles. The 4 door storage compartments are removable too, which is handy if you need to store something wide and bulky on one of the shelves.
Below the shelves there's a really useful vegetable drawer. It has a rippled base to allow for better airflow under and around your food. This means food like tomatoes and salad will stay fresher for longer, and they won't get squashed by heavy ready meals.

Saints add 4 players following rookie camp
METAIRIE, La. (AP) — The New Orleans Saints added two undrafted rookies and two veterans to their roster following last weekend's three-day rookie camp.
General Manager Mickey Loomis announced Monday that rookie receiver Steve Hull, rookie running back Derrick Strozier, veteran outside linebacker Cheta Ozougwu and veteran offensive lineman Thomas Welch were signed after taking part in rookie camp on a try-out basis.
The 5-foot-8, 181-pound Strozier was a defensive back at Tulane, but is trying to make it professionally as playmaker on offense. During rookie camp, he wore the same No. 43 that Darren Sproles had for the previous three years before his trade to Philadelphia this offseason.
Storzier's speed, catching ability and elusiveness in space could make him a candidate to fill some of the roles Sproles did.
Loomis, who spoke with reporters before playing in a celebrity golf scramble Monday to raise money for the New Orleans Saints Hall of Fame, said the Saints gave Strozier a look on offense on the advice of Tulane coach Curtis Johnson, who is a former Saints receivers coach, and Saints quarterbacks coach Mike Neu, who is a former Tulane assistant under Johnson.
"These guys told us about this kid and talked about how they moved him to defense primarily because of their shortage of players on the defensive side of the ball," Loomis said. "It wasn't that he wasn't going to be a good player offensively."
Strozier returned two interceptions for touchdowns during his Tulane career, including one for 99 yards last season, when he also returned a blocked field goal 62 yards for a score.
The 6-2 Hull was Illinois' leading receiver last season, when he moved to offense after playing safety for three seasons. He caught 59 passes for 993 yards and seven touchdowns.
The 6-2, 255-pound Ozougwu was a seventh-round draft pick by Houston in 2011, and has seen action in nine games with Chicago during the past two seasons, highlighted by one sack and one forced fumble.
Welch, who is 6-7, 310, was New England's seventh-round pick in 2010. He also has spent time with St. Louis and Buffalo, playing in 27 career games with one start. Last season, he appeared in 16 games with the Bills.
This week, New Orleans is holding voluntary, non-contact practices which will be closed to the public and media. The club heads into those sessions with two centers who have no experience playing the position in the NFL. For now, the primary candidate to fill the starting spot vacated by center Brian de la Puente during free agency is Tim Lelito, who as a rookie last season saw limited action at guard.
"Obviously, we feel real good about him because otherwise we would have made a stronger push to bring somebody in at that position," Loomis said. "In an ideal world we'd like to have some additional competition, but we feel real good about Tim.
"He's a tough, intelligent, athletic player and he needs time on the job. That's his deficiency right now, is just time on task, and so we're going to give him plenty of that" in practice and preseason games, Loomis added.

However, their adaptation was not well-received by Capcom and the series was cancelled after just three issues.The comic plays somewhat fast and loose with the games' continuity, seeming to combine the events of Street Fighter 1 & 2 together, and using EGM's April Fool's hoax character Sheng Long as part of the cast, amongst other things.Also features a brief guest appearance by Malibu's superhero character the Ferret.

Podcast on NeoVouchers
My 12-7-08 "Religious Talk" radio interview (27 MB MP3) with Dr. Kevin G. Welner, associate professor of education and director of the Education and Public Interest Center at the University of Colorado at Boulder. We talk about Dr. Welner's book "NeoVouchers: The Emergence of Tuition Tax Credits for Private Schooling."

Because vouchers only cover part, not all of a private school's cost, with this economic downturn I predict that many of the small church schools will close down and that the Public schools are going to be swamped with kids just as there's a spending and hiring freeze because of state budget shortfalls.

What does the future hold for diabetic treatments?
Well, first of all I would say we have actually had some big improvements in the treatment of type-two diabetes.
We should keep in mind the fact that we now have several classes of drugs that can be used. We used to have really only one kind of oral medication.
Those were called sulfonylureas, the drugs that stimulate the pancreas to make more insulin.
Now we have, in addition to that, drugs that improve insulin sensitivity in muscle and fat, so called thiazolidinediones like rosiglitazone and pioglitozone, troglitazone.
And we also have drugs that improve insulin sensitivity in the liver, metformin. These drugs are already making a big difference in people with type-two diabetes.
We can, in many people get good control with a combination of both diet and one or sometimes two of these drugs together.
For those patients who don't get good control from those, we often now use insulin.
And it has become more and more acceptable to understand that people with type two diabetes,
even though they are not insulin dependant for survival do often benefit from insulin treatment for improving their glucose levels and reducing their complication rates.
In addition, there are many new drugs in the discovery pipeline. I actually am pretty optimistic that over the next few years we will see new classes of drugs, not just new members of the old classes.
For example, there are drugs that act on this molecule called PPAR gamma that we use now. These are rosiglitazone, troglitazone and pioglitozone.
But there are drugs in the pipeline that act on more than one member of this family of receptors.
There are also drugs that are acting on new targets.
For example, there has been a lot of excitement in the news about a drug called resveratrol. It's the so called active ingredient in red wine that improves metabolism.
And whether that will be a drug that we take as individuals or not is not so clear yet.
But what is clear is that this new target of this drug which is a new class of molecules called the sirtuin proteins.
That actually may open up a whole new range of therapies and even preventions for type-two diabetes.

Special to the Progress-Argus
The art-loving public got a chance to see artists at work, outdoors, in Indian Springs State Park and throughout The Village at Indian Springs on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend.
The event, sponsored by Generations Gallery, was the first in a series of "Paint Outs." The gallery, with the help of Preston King, an art instructor at the gallery, and Phyllis Franklin, current president of the Plein Air Group, invited artists from all over Georgia to participate in the event, which asks artists to get together and paint outdoors. The next event is scheduled for September.
Roughly 15 artists arrived early in the day to give themselves time to finish and frame their pieces for the Reception and Art Sale at 3 p.m., at Pinky's Cafe. The public was invited to vote on and purchase their favorite works of art.
Although the paint was often still wet, most of the artists' paintings sold that day. Collectors chose to purchase works that depicted many familiar scenes, from the Whimsical Botanical Gardens and the village's shopping district, to the popular view of the state park's famous stone bridge.
The Best of Show Cash Award went to Pat Burns, of Forsyth, for a painting of the base of a large tree. Valerie Chitvanni, of Roswell, won first place for her perspective on Butts County's landmark visual, the stone bridge over the rocks.
Watercolor artist, Bambi Rogers, of the High Falls area, took home a second-place ribbon. She chose to paint the ramshackle barn behind the Indian Spring Hotel. The hotel, now a museum, is where the treaty was signed by the Creek Indians, deeding what is now most of Georgia and Alabama to the U.S.
Many of the artists have their work displayed for purchase at Generations Gallery, which is open weekends from 10 a.m., to 5 p.m., and offers a number of workshops and free children's lessons on Saturday mornings.

Some favorites in no order: BBQ, the San Juans, road trips, hiking/camping in the mountains, any activity in the snow, live bands
Some favorites in no particular order: BBQ, the San Juans, road trips, hiking/camping in the mountains, any activity in the snow, live bands, happy hour, new places to eat, using vacation time, waves, football. I like trying to use creativity to have fun- that means making music, art, movies, writing, whatever. The end product isnt always good but it's usually a good time. Any travel is good so as long as it doesn't end up in a third world jail. I like big trips, road trips, weekend getaways, you name it. I know almost every cool spot within a days drive of Seattle. The outdoors in good weather is the best, why else would we live here? I try to take advantage of being so close to mountains, lakes, etc. Somebody who's up for the occasional camping/backpacking if the weather/stars align is a good thing. I like someone who can debate or at least handle an opinion they don't agree with, I think some of the best talks come when the honesty flows... Know the difference between disagreeing and arguing. Having your own life/friends is important. You have to take my word for it right now but I'm not jealous or controlling, I know a lot of guys are, so if that's important to you take note. I think its good to take at least one awesome trip a year, that means I don't want to plan my next Europe trip ten years out. If you got vacation time, lets use it. Life is too short to let other people define your happiness for you.
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Playing sports , Political interests , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting

I like Cats, Dogs
Locally I like good music venues and the occasional dive bar. Any hiking trails nearby. Ballard, Phinney Ridge and Green Lake are good areas. Outside of the local, I try to visit California regularly and I love getting to Europe.
Radiohead, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, My Morning Jacket. Coen Brothers, Woody Allen I like travel shows on TV, Comedy Central. Live music, summer concerts Movie night. Comfort food, all kinds of food really.
Travel, getaways, hiking, snowshoeing, anything in the mountains like camping, etc. Playing sports, being outdoors. Going to see live music, movies, happy hour. Trying to be creative.
