|Between Aman and Middle-earth
|Númenóreans (including the Drúedain)[1]
|General Information
|Other names
|Elenna-nórë, Andor
|Downfall of Númenor, Changing of the World
Elenna ([eˈlenːa]) or Elenna-nórë (Q, pron. [eˌlenːa-ˈnoːre]) also Andor, the "Land of Gift", was the island on which the realm of Númenor was founded.[2]
The name meant 'Starwards',[3] from the fact that the first Men to inhabit that island came to it by following the light of the Star of Eärendil.
Generations later, owing to the Númenóreans' arrogance and blasphemy against the Valar, Elenna was deluged during the Changing of the World.
[edit] Geography
The island of Númenor was about 167,961 square miles,[4] It was located in the Belegaer closer to Valinor (about 39 days) than Middle-earth.
Its shape was of a 5-point star, each point having its own unique geological and physical features, therefore considered a separate region of Númenor and had separate names:
- Forostar (Northlands)
- Andustar (Westlands)
- Hyarnustar (Southwestlands)
- Hyarrostar (Southeastlands)
- Orrostar (Eastlands)
- Mittalmar (Inlands)
The area between Orrostar and Hyarrostar was the bay of Rómenna, with Tol Uinen standing off its coast.
The central region of Mittalmar contained the region of Emerië, a grass land with many sheep, and the sacred mountain Meneltarma, standing in the very center of the island. It was the highest location on the entire island and was a holy place devoted to Eru Ilúvatar. It was said that on a clear day the 'far-sighted' might see Tol Eressëa, the island east of Valinor proper which along with it comprised the Undying Lands.
The lower slopes of the mountain, the Tarmasundar, were gentle grass-covered, however, near the summit the slopes became more vertical and could not be ascended easily. The kings later built a spiral road to the peak, beginning at the southern tip of the mountain and winding up to the lip of the summit in the north.
The only other known mountain on the island was Sorontil, in Forostar.
Númenor had only two rivers: Siril which began at Meneltarma and ended in a small delta near the city of Nindamos, and the Nunduinë, which formed the lake Nísinen before reaching the sea in the Bay of Eldanna near the haven Eldalondë.
The island itself was tilted southward and a little westward; the northern coasts were all steep sea cliffs.
[edit] Etymology
The word is actually the allative form of the Quenya word elen meaning "to (a) star". The "longer" name Elenna-nórë is glossed as "Land of the Star",[5] literally "Starwards-land". The island was named so as the Edain colonists sailed "starwards", following the Star of Eärendil.
Robert Foster mistakenly identifies the word as being the "essive" form of elen.[6] Essive is a grammatical case that exists in Finnish (but not in Quenya), and is marked by the ending -na, like the Quenya allative.
The Adûnaic name was Gimlad (cf. gimil).
[edit] Location
Tolkien never drew a map of Arda showing where exactly in Belegaer, or relative to Middle-earth the island of Númenor stood but there are some narrative hints.
While sailing for Lindon, Vëantur had to fight the north and east winds[7] suggesting the the island was south of the latitude of Lindon. It is also mentioned that Vëantur was accompanied by (apparently migratory) birds in autumn and spring.[8]
The Downfall of Númenor, while also causing important loss in Lindon, most of all filled much of the Bay of Belfalas so that the city of Pelargir was left far inland[9]. This may suggest the island was more or less around the latitude of the Bay of Belfalas. As vineyards are attested in the eastern part of the Hyarnustar, Didier Willis notes that adequate climatological conditions for viticulture are quite strict[10] and estimates the island to be located around 40° N, indeed facing the Bay of Belfalas.[11]
As for the distances, we are told simply that the island was closer to Valinor than Endor[12]. It was said that from Meneltarma, the keen-eyed Númenóreans could sometimes get a glimpse of Avallónë;[12] the Fall of Númenor came 39 days after Ar-Pharazôn left,[12] but his actual voyage could be shorter.
Didier Willis estimates that as Vëantur could sail directly from Númenor to Lindon - not needing to find a closer coast and follow it up to his destination - the island was close enough to Lindon, with a realistic distance between 2000 to 3000 km.[8]
Karen Wynn Fonstad placed the island in her Second Age maps around the latitude of the Bay of Belfalas, but without giving any reasoning or calculations. It approximates the Númenórean ports of Vinyalondë, Pelargir and Umbar on Middle-earth. Her map shows the distance between the Island and Eressea approximately 1700 km.[13]

MIT's Social Network For Wearing Your Heart On Sleeve & Elsewhereby Ron Callari
Over the course of the last year, social networking has definitely been evolving. With start-ups such as Tsu and A+ launching innovative monetization models, which pay their users for their content — and major players like Facebook and Twitter adding videos to their playbill, as they attempt to capitalize on the lucrative YouTube market - the playing field has certainly changed.
Head Transplants The Way Of Future Medicine?by Josh Grabowski
Limb and organ transplants have been a pivotal part of modern medicine for years, and aren't really news to anyone in this day and age. That being said, one aspect of medical transplants that has never really been put into practice is the transplant of one human head to another body. Clearly there are obvious reasons as to why this practice has never taken place, and the primary one being that the technology to reattach a severed spinal cord doesn't exist...for now...
Want To Seek Your Fortune In Fast Food? Use Future Fries!by Laurie Kay Olson
There is little that can move mountains like a good advertising campaign. In this case it was a mountain of potatoes in Sweden. The restaurant chain Sibylla gave patrons of their burgers a chance to try their new fries last November. To get people to engage with the new product, named Future Fries, the company set up a campaign telling people that their fries could predict the future.

Want To Create More Energy From Wind? Build A Treeby Laurie Kay Olson
Many acres of land around the world have been given over to wind turbines to produce much needed electricity from what have been euphemistically termed "wind farms." They create a great deal of noise and some people find them unsightly. Not only that, if apocalyptic science fiction movies are correct, those giant blades will one day get loose and cause major death and destruction when the storm to end all storms hits. Now there is Tree Vent. A smaller, quieter, and more stylish way to harness wind energy.

Worry Eaters Consume Fears And Anxieties Eating At Childrenby Amber Leventry
Fears, worries, and nagging thoughts are normal and tend to sneak up on us at night as we try to get to sleep. As adults, we tend to know how to manage those stressful thoughts. Anxiety is also a normal part of childhood, but children can have a harder time than adults when it comes to putting things into perspective or words. Their worries seem big and scary and linger like the mythological monster under their bed. Gerd Hahn's Worry Eaters are plush dolls that happily carry worries that consume children.

Paging Rosie: My Favorite Rooms
My favorite places in our house are my kids' rooms. There is something playful and also so tranquil about each of them. When I decorate their rooms I have two aims; to create an overwhelming sense of fun and also warmth. Decorating a nursery is a little different than decorating an older child's room, mostly because you are designing a room for someone you haven't met yet. When that little person is still inside of you, it is hard to imagine what type of personality they will have. I feel that as long as I use playfulness and warmth as the driving forces behind nursery design and decoration, I will at least create something that will feel like home for whatever little personality shows up on delivery day. Here are some tips to do the same in your home:
- Start with a great safe crib that has simple, classic lines. Then, make it unique by stenciling designs in non-toxic paint or adding decals. Alternatively, classic linens can make even a very simple crib look like an heirloom.
- There are lots of fun, simple and inexpensive things you can do for décor. I personally love mobiles above the changing table to entertain your wee one and stop all the wiggles. Plus, the changing table is such a great place to have little cooing conversations with your babe that it should feel as warm and inviting as the rest of the room.
- Old fashioned silhouettes are a great timeless option for the wall. It might be slightly difficult to find someone who still does these, but if you can locate someone skilled in this in your town, or perhaps on Etsy (www.etsy.com), I highly recommend doing it for the entire family. They look fantastic on an ivory background in a dark wood frame or a frame stained to match the nursery decor. I LOVE oval frames for these.
- You can also easily make flag window dressings by cutting triangles out of pieces of fabric (use swatches from fabric.com) and sewing onto a ribbon (think boating flags!).
- I am obsessed with monogramming. I think it looks amazing (I'd monogram my arm if my husband would let me) and also introduces your wee one to the alphabet very early on. You can get monogrammed rugs, pillows, headboards, frames – you name it they are out there!
- In addition to the aesthetic aspects, there are indeed some gadgets you must have. Two in particular are the Diaper Genie (nothing beats this for hiding the smell of diapers) and interference free monitor. For those of you living in a city it is worth splurging a little on this last item so you don't hear all the interference from laptops, Blackberries and your neighbors!
My friend and colleague James Stanley, interior designer extraordinaire who you'll see working with me and some of my clients on Pregnant in Heels, provided one of the greatest tips of all: Try to make your nursery double as a guest room. This is an amazing thing to do if you are short on space and if grandma is coming to stay it will allow you to have just a wee bit more rest and will give grandma some special time with the new babe.

text: Tweet photo by Jim Barton (Fellwalker on Flickr CC) Dry weather in much of England is threatening to devastate farming and wildlife, and could extend past next Christmas. Parts of England have entered official drought status, with water rationing measures in place. Soils are so dried out that recent rains did little to help conditions. This may sound like strange weather in a country known for rain rather than droughts, especially in April, but the dangers are all too real. Helen Vale, national drought coordinator at the Environment Agency is quoted in the Guardian: The amount of water that we use at home and in our businesses has a direct effect on the amount of water available in the environment, for wildlife and for farmers, so we would urge everyone to start using less water now, whether or not they live in an area with a hosepipe ban. Average citizens are likely to also be affected by price hikes for certain foods and beverages, namely domestically grown soft fruits and vegetables as well as beer produced in the UK. (Now I'm sensing panic.) But inconveniences for humans are nothing compared to what England's wildlife is going through. From the BBC: The Wildlife Trusts says prolonged drought not only reduces drinking and bathing water for birds, but makes it harder for birds, small mammals, amphibians and reptiles that feed on insects and worms. 17 counties in England have been declared official drought zones by the Environment Agency, but everyone around the country is being encouraged to save water.

Brooklyn, Mich. (June 14, 2013) – In the backyard of Roush Industries and Ford Motor Company, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. qualified 15th for Sunday's Quicken Loans 400 at Michigan International Speedway.
"We only got one good qualifying run in practice so I think that kind of hurt us a little bit," Stenhouse said after his qualifying attempt. "We bottomed out and then went back out and we were really loose in practice so all in all I think it was a good pickup for us. We picked up almost four-and-a-half tenths which isn't too bad. We just needed a little more overall grip but all in all we will take that."
"I feel like we had a good car in race trim in practice. We will go to work tomorrow and see if we can get it dialed in. That was a heck of a lap by Carl (Edwards). It is really cool to see a Ford on top of the board at Ford's home track. The engines are running really well and we are working hard to get the speed in these things. It is a smooth, fast racetrack where we have typically been fast. It is like Kansas, smooth and fast. We are looking for another good run like we had at Kansas."
The No. 17 team had one practice session on Friday afternoon to get the No. 17 Zest Ford Fusion dialed in for qualifying. The two-time NASCAR Nationwide Champion finished the first practice session in the 20th- position after battling a loose condition for a majority of the practice.
The Sprint Cup Rookie of the Year contender was the 34th car to take to the track for his qualifying effort. The No. 17 Zest Ford Fusion posted a fast lap time of 36.043 seconds (199.761 mph) around the two-mile track earning Stenhouse the 15th -starting position for Sunday's 400-mile race.
The Quicken Loans 400 at Michigan International Speedway will be televised on Sunday, June 16 starting at 1:00 p.m. EST on TNT, with radio coverage presented by the Motor Racing Network (MRN) and SIRIUS radio channel 90.

MITCHELL, S.D. – Dakota Wesleyan University men's golf coach Adam Anderson announced a third recruit for the 2013-14 season this week. Thomas Hogg will join the Tiger golf program starting in the fall of 2013.
Hogg is the third recruit for the 2013-14 season and the Tigers' fourth recruit overall. Brandon native Michael Whitney and Howard High School standout Cal Wiese will also join the team starting in the fall of 2013 and Tommy Anderson will be on the DWU roster starting with the upcoming spring season.
Hogg, an Aberdeen, S.D., native, graduates in May from Aberdeen Central High School. He earned four varsity letters for the Eagles' golf team and made the trip to the Class AA state golf tournament in each of his four seasons. As a senior, he took second individually and helped the Eagles to a fifth-place team finish. Hogg took 39th as a junior and tied for eighth while helping the team to a third-place finish as a sophomore.
"Thomas has proven himself on several of the biggest stages in junior golf in the state, and we are very excited to have him joining our program after his great high school career," Anderson said. "I look for Thomas to make an immediate impact, and he should be able to contend for starting time in our varsity lineup right away as a freshman.
"Thomas is also an excellent student in the classroom and has good time management skills, which will serve him well in college athletics."
The Tiger men are currently sixth in the Great Plains Athletic Conference standings after two qualifiers in the 2012 fall season. The third and fourth qualifiers of the year will be this spring.

Step 1: Parts is parts!
You also need about 4 feet of 3/8" vinal tubing. Home Depot sells this in the plumbing isle, but only in 10' rolls. A roll is less than two bucks, so you aren't breaking the bank. Keep the rest of the hose so you can replace it when little black moldy things start growing in it. At $.75 you can toss it often, whereas a Camelback user has to run a scrub brush down theirs. Sounds like a fun Saturday night to me!
You'll also need to keep the bite valve from your previous system. You can buy replacement valves wherever the original was sold. I'm currently working on designing a bite valve from silicone sealant, for the truly cheap.
Step 2: Put it all together
Shove the tube through the hole, it should be tight. You can seall it with hot glue, but I didn't. I figured it would allow a little air to back flow into the bottle as I drink. It turns out that almost no air leaks through, but it works well enough without the hot glue. Glue would totally seal it, however.
Did you ever made a home-made bitevalve ?
when ever i go biking in hawaii its better and it is strong
clicky click click
Yours looks a bit more "finished" though. nice job!
for the backround music

A new study in Health Affairs appears to disprove the commonly cited myth that public insurance programs "shifts cost" onto private insurance. The idea behind the myth is that public insurance programs pay providers less than what procedures cost which forces them to make up the difference by charging private insurance companies more.
In reality, the study found lower Medicare payment rates actually reduce what private insurance companies pay. From the study's abstract:
Contrary to the theory, I found that hospital markets with relatively slow growth in Medicare inpatient hospital payment rates also had relatively slow growth in private hospital payment rates during 1995–2009. Using regression analyses, I found that a 10 percent reduction in Medicare payment rates led to an estimated reduction in private payment rates of 3 percent or 8 percent, depending on the statistical model used.
The fact that cost shifting is a myth shouldn't surprise anyone who has looked at international health care prices. Medicare still pays more than most other countries' health care systems and in all those countries hospitals remain financially viable.
This study reinforces that the real issue at play is market power, not cost shifting. Compared to other countries with single-payer or all-payer systems, providers in the United States have more power to demand higher prices.
Medicare is the most powerful purchaser in the United States and can get some of the best deals, while much smaller private insurance companies are forced to pay more simply because providers have market power to make them. This is not cost shifting. This is like many other industries where a provider tries to maximize profits by charging each payer as much as possible.

Raw Mango Ginger Energy Balls & RLCT Recap 2014
This month has and will be a whirlwind.
In fact, this entire summer will be a crazy, wonderful adventure.
I have not leaked my summer adventures here yet. In brief: cycling, long vacation, moving back to Toronto, and yet more cycling. I am warning you now. There may not be much blogging.
For now, my early summer cycling triumphs have been conquered. A month ago, Rob and I rode the 165-km Shiner GASP and I finally got my riding mojo back a few weeks ago in time to ride the 2-day/334-km Rideau Lake Cycle Tour (RLCT) with my father last weekend. This was my third time on the course, but the second time I did the full "Classic Route". I described the route the first time I did it in 2011, but each year feels different depending on your level of training, equipment and weather.
Despite reducing my weekly cycling from 250 km to 150 km over the last month, I felt reasonably fit for the ride. I knew there were big hills that I just could not train adequately while in Houston, but we found as many hills as we could.
One difference this year, though, was that I did not have my own bike. A friend of my father graciously lent me a road bike for the weekend, although in the end, it was a men's bike that did not fit me properly. I took it for a ride the afternoon before the ride and was sore. Too sore, too fast. I frantically tracked down a women's road bike I could rent for the weekend which is hard to find when over 2000 other people are expected to cycle to Kingston. In the end, I found a nice bike to rent from an unlikely of stores, and they even loaned me cycling shoes to boot. This is the first year I have tried clips for my bicycle. There are different systems for clipping your shoes into bicycle pedals and SPD clips have been the bane of my existence. This weekend, I may have found a new clipping system I prefer: KEO.
In any case, while my Dad and I had fun together riding over the hills, I fell victim to all my new things, with saddle sores. Instead of my legs being tired, it was mainly the soles of my feet and my saddle that were the most bothersome. While some of the hills were still challenging, I felt the best prepared of all years. Granted, my Dad did 80% of the pulling. ;) Thankfully, the wind was not too bad but I think it helped to shave 15 minutes off our return ride along with an hour less breaks.
I actually did not bring anything recipe-inspired with me during my ride. Instead, I ate lots of bananas, dates and almonds. The dates and almonds would have been pulverized into balls anyways, so it was basically deconstructed trail mix. ;) I will not deprive you of a delicious recipe, though. They are not too travel-friendly though. I soaked the cashews, as recommended by Sarah, but I found them too creamy to be portable. Still delicious, though. I added some ginger, as a nod to the Lovely Lemon Hemp Protein Bites. I actually think these would be better with a shredded coconut dusting on the outside, but I only had coconut chips which don't lend as well to pretty exteriors.
I am on vacation for the rest of this week and very happy to not be riding for a few days. Our next goal is finding a place to live.
In case you're interested, another review of this year's ride was here and one from the volunteers that man the ham radio stations here.
Please tell me about all your plans for the summer!
I am sharing this with Healthy Vegan Fridays.
Raw Mango Ginger Energy Balls
Inspired by My New Roots
2 tsp fresh ginger
1 cup dried unsweetened mango, soaked for 15 minutes (Trader Joe's sells unsweetened)
2/3 cup cashews (I soaked mine but I found the balls were very soft – so try it without soaking)
1/2 cup dried unsweetened coconut
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4-1/2 tsp lemon extract
pinch turmeric
pinch salt
1. In a food processor fitted with its S-blade, process ginger until it is in small bits. Add the remaining ingredients and pulse until combined and sticks together. If it is too dry, you may need to add a few drops of water until it sticks together. Roll dough into 1-inch size balls. Refrigerate for an hour and then snack away.
Makes 8-10 bites.

50-cent comics used to attract new collectorsWritten by Jim Beard | | firstname.lastname@example.com
C Comics plans to release a special one-shot, 32-page comic this month with a cover price of 50 cents. Not since the 1970s have comic books cost this little — the average current cover price is $2.99.
"DC Universe: Zero" is reported to be a kind of "bridge" between the end of the company's yearlong weekly title "Countdown" and the beginning of its latest universe-spanning summer spectacular, "Final Crisis." "Zero" features two of DC's most popular writers, Grant Morrison and Detroit-native Geoff Johns, and a bevy of its hottest artists, including Tony Daniel, J.G. Jones, Ivan Reis, Carlos Pacheco and the legendary George Perez.
With the 50-cent cover price, DC intends the one-shot to be an attractive introduction to its latest company-wide storyline. The summer months are traditional for comic companies to tell larger stories that encompass all of their biggest characters and often bring about change — including fictional deaths and rebirths.
There's much speculation among DC fans as to which characters might "die" in the story and especially which "deceased" characters might be reborn. A favorite focus for rebirth rumors of late has been the Flash, the speedy hero who was fictionally killed in 1986's epic "Crisis on Infinite Earths." Other heroes of the Flash's age who have since been done away with have returned, leaving only the Scarlet Speedster to be given his triumphant moment of re-introduction.
Some fans have already reported on Internet message boards that they plan to buy multiple copies of the 50-cent "DC Universe: Zero" to hand out to friends and family, perhaps even to strangers, in an effort to hook possibly interested parties into the comic book hobby.
"DC Universe: Zero" goes on sale April 30, to be followed with the first issue of the seven-part "Final Crisis" on May 28.

Offset Printing
The Offset Printing Process and Its Advantages
Offset printing is the process of using plates to transfer images into surfaces like paper. It is an old method of printing that developed through time. The need to have low production cost for large quantities prompted the invention and development of the offset printing process. As printing presses are invented they continuously evolved to modern printers. Nowadays, it uses a modern computer-to-plate technique.
Offset printing got its name from the process on how inks are transferred to print an image. The ink is not directly pressed onto the paper. It uses plate cylinders where the image comes. From a metal plate, ink is distributed to an offset cylinder (rubber mat) before it is transferred directly onto the paper through an impression cylinder.
The process is done because water and ink do not mix. The image is set on a printing plate. It is dampened by oil-based ink and water using rollers on the printing machine. The created image is transferred to the cylinder and then to the paper.
There are four colors used when printing on paper sheets or cardstocks. The color of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black are mixed to form a final product with good color resolution.
Offset Printing: Benefits from Using an Offset Press to Produce Prints
As an old type print production, offset printing is still in use because of its capacity to produce large quantities of prints with high quality results and cheap production cost. You may visit our site or call our customer service representatives if you want more information about offset printing.

Does anyone know were i can get some sort of cheap...I just want them as pets they don't have to be anything spectacular or anything ive always wanted some and now i have a place for them ... so does anyone know? or does anyone have any for sale....thanks
Where can i buy pigeons and doves at...
What breeds are you looking to get? I believe I have a few extra ringneck doves, but I'll have to check. Some of mine look almost identical, so I haven't taken the time to see who makes up my new pairs and who is still single, haha. I sell my ringnecks for $10 each, plus shipping. The boxes are free if I still have some around here to use.
Check local farm auctions. You can usually pick up some for a few dollars. May not be good show birds or even purebred but if your just looking for pets it should be fine.
If you lived closer I'd sell you my pair for $25. They are nice ringnecks I've had for several years that my family and now my husband don't like. They think the male is obnoxious. They've been very successful in raising babies and thrown off some really pretty colors. I was trying to sell them locally in the bidding section if you want to see photos. I originally had them shipped to me in 2006. I would ship, but I'd want to see how it's done again before I felt safe doing so.
Home of Watermark Seramas. First babies have already hatched!

I raise old style satinetts and picas. The picas get attached to humans quickly. My satinetts are tame also. My picas hatched last weekend and my satinetts are hatching this weekend. Im in N.C not to far from were you are.
If you live anywhere close to the dog days trade day in ardmore Tennessee, I'm there almost every Sunday with birds. let me know what kind you want and I could meet you there.
PM for availability~~NO shipping

Disneyland Resort Press Release
Original Version of Attraction Steeped in Back-Story and Trivia
Since its debut at Disneyland in California in 1967 the rollicking fun of Walt Disneys Pirates of the Caribbean adventure has thrilled guests from around the world. It is an immersive and engaging entertainment experience steeped in detail. Here are just a few of the fun facts and trivia associated with one of Walt Disneys greatest entertainment achievements.
· Pirates of the Caribbean was the last Disneyland attraction personally supervised by Walt Disney.
· The attraction was originally envisioned as a New Orleans-themed Blue Bayou Mart featuring a Pirate Wax Museum, housed in a 70-foot deep basement. The basement now serves as the grotto section of the attraction.
· Pirates of the Caribbean was loosely inspired by such Hollywood films as Captain Blood, The Sea Hawk and The Buccaneer, plus Disneys Treasure Island, Kidnapped and Swiss Family Robinson.
· The fire effects in the Burning Town scene were so realistic that prior to the attractions grand opening the Anaheim Fire Chief asked that the effects automatically shut off in the event of a real fire.
· The attraction opened to the public at Disneyland on March 18, 1967, with an official grand opening on April 19.
· It cost $15 million to build New Orleans Square ($8 million of which was spent on Pirates of the Caribbean). This is equal to the amount the United States paid for the real New Orleans in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803
· The façade of the attraction was partly inspired by the Cabildo building in Jackson Square in New Orleans that served as the seat of the Spanish colonial government in 1799. It is also noted for being the site where the Louisiana Purchase was signed in 1803.
· The attraction is housed within two large show buildings totaling 112,826 feet and featuring 750,000 gallons of water that flow through a 1,838-foot canal.
· There are approximately 122 animated characters (68 lifelike humans and 54 animated animals) in the Audio Animatronics cast of Pirates of the Caribbean.
· Disney Imagineer X Atencio, who wrote the attractions memorable title tune Yo-Ho (A Pirates Life for Me), is the voice of the Jolly Roger skull and crossbones before you plunge down the waterfalls.
· The film Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl had its world-premiere on June 28, 2003, at Disneyland in California and featured the longest red carpet in history (trailing from Main Street into New Orleans Square

Dear god Webb was like 15 yards off the receiver
Why was Webb playing 15 yards off that scrub
You can thank U2 for the multi-colored field.
The 3 ton stage ruined quite a few stadia grass.
Pretty sure Cundiff is going to have 100% touchbacks
Can't blame Suggs, he's just waiting to lay into a QB! :D
nice catch...
Cooper just too tall for Reed.
Lol getting beat deep by fucking Riley Cooper? Are you kidding me? Lol Chris Carr you suck
Can't blame Ed there.
Late to the play and a jump ball against a towering WR.
Carr gets burned early.....geesh
lol terrible by Reed.
And that wasn't exactly getting beat deep its failing to get a punch at the LOS.
To be fair Carr jumped the bubble screen. So far the D doesn't look on the same page.
Not really sure why the Ravens aren't rushing the passer at all
With a new scheme and def. coordinator I expect it will take time before they gel.
Gotta remind myself that most teams are gonna look terrible today... But we look terrible lol

But when he's hired as an editor at a mystery magazine, he is drawn into an affair with the sleek blond wife of the publisher, Tom Kristoll - a man who soon turns up dead. Elizabeth Waishkey is the most talented detective in the Ann Arbor Police Department, but even she doesn't know if Loogan is a killer or an ally who might help her find the truth. As more deaths start mounting up - some of them echoing stories published in the magazine - it's up to Elizabeth to solve both the murders and the mystery of Loogan himself.

After 14 years of marital bliss, Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown have called it quits. Over the course of their union the couple had one daughter, Bobbi Kristina, and countless dealers.
The question now is, who will they rebound with? In Bobby's case, it's rumored that he's wasted no time and has already moved in with Karrine "Superhead" Steffans. Whitney plans on weighing her options before jumping into anything serious. However, if she can't find anybody decent, she's got one hell of a last-resort waiting for her.

Author deals with playing of race card
The Philadelphia Inquirer included a story on George E. Osborne Professor of Law Richard Thompson Ford's new book.
"Once again - and it couldn't happen at a better time - the world of serious scholarship comes to the rescue of a grateful public and media."
"Ford understands term-of-art legal doctrines such as 'disparate impact' in evaluating racism in discrimination law, but he never loses his pragmatic, common-sense grasp of how social problems arise, and how to solve them. The result? A superbly enlightening reflection on how America should confront its authentic legacy of racism."
"Ford seeks, it seems, a sensible middle. He fears that a 'national patois' of racism rhetoric blinds us to the real thing, stoking counterproductive results. Even worse, it stirs advocates of other allegedly oppressed interest groups, such as obese people, to model their complaints on laws forged to fight racism, a 'racism by analogy' strategy."

Hi all,

Hello, I'm looking to spend 2-3 weeks in Orlando early July 2016 with husband and son (15 yrs). I'd like to base on international drive due to the transport links and amenities. With my son being the age he is we ideally want either a 2 bed apartment/suite or a room with a separate lounge sofabed. Any recommendations near an idrive trolley stop with good pool? Or would it be cheaper to get interconnecting rooms?
I've been priced for the hawthorn suites on international drive but have read on one review that they are about a 40 min walk to eating places....can anyone Confirm this please as with two teenagers and a one year old this isn't really ideal but we can't seem to find another hotel offering a suite that's more central that doesnt cost the earth.

(The Hollywood Reporter)- Rocky Balboa is poised to enter a whole new ring, when the musical adaptation of the Oscar-winning Sylvester Stallone vehicle comes to Broadway early next year.
The stage incarnation of Rocky brings together Tony Award-winning book writer Thomas Meehan (The Producers, Hairspray) with composer Stephen Flaherty and lyricist Lynn Ahrens, whose many collaborations include the musical Ragtime.
Directing the production is Alex Timbers, currently represented in New York with the David Byrne-Fatboy Slim musical Here Lies Love and the musical-play hybrid Peter and the Starcatcher. Fight choreography is by Steven Hoggett (Once), with dance choreography by Kelly Devine (Rock of Ages).
"I couldn't be more proud or more excited about this production and how my original story of Rocky Balboa has been brought to spectacular life onstage," said Stallone, who penned the screenplay of the beloved 1976 feature that spawned four sequels.
"The story of Rocky was very much like my life at the time – starting out with nothing, having to fight for roles and recognition," continued Stallone. "So I put those feelings into the body of a boxer and I had no idea there were so many millions of people that felt the same way. Alex Timbers and the entire creative team have not only honored that original impulse, but have made his story as exciting, heart-breaking, and inspiring as it was when Rocky first went the distance onscreen."
Presented by Stage Entertainment USA and Stallone, the production received its world premiere last fall in Hamburg, Germany, where it opened to rave reviews and continues playing to packed houses.
Rocky will begin previews in February at the Winter Garden Theatre, with an official opening in March. Exact dates and cast have not yet been announced. One of Broadway's larger venues, with a seating capacity of close to 1,500, the Winter Garden has long been occupied by the ABBA musical Mamma Mia!, which moves to the smaller Broadhurst Theatre later this year.

Clinical Governance
What is Clinical Governance?
Clinical governance is the framework through which NHS organisations are accountable for continuously improving the quality of their service and safeguarding high standards of care by creating an environment in which excellence in clinical care will flourish.
Why do we need Clinical Governance?To ensure that
- Patient centred care needs are at the heart of every NHS organisation. This means that patients are treated courteously, kept well informed and are given the opportunity to participate in decisions about their care
- Health professionals have the right education, training, skills, competencies and supervision to deliver the care needed by patients
- Health professionals work in teams to a consistently high standard and identify ways to provide safer and better care for their patients
- Good evidence based information about the quality of services is available to those providing the service as well as to patients and the public
- Processes which improve the quality of care are in place throughout the organisation
- Risks and hazards to patients are reduced to as low a level as possible in order to create a safety culture throughout the NHS.
- Health professionals recognise and act on poor performance and staff are helped to learn from their mistakes

A stretch of highway in Texas will have the nation's highest speed limit at 85 miles per hour.
The Texas Transportation Commission approved the new speed limit for a 41-mile-long stretch of the Texas 130 highway, reported the Houston Chronicle.
The segment is being built by State Highway 130 Concession Co., a private consortium, and it is slated for completion in mid-November.
"We'll certainly meet the deadline, and we think we'll beat it," spokesman Chris Lippincott said to the Chronicle.
"On any road, drivers hold the key to safety based on traffic, travel conditions, and the capabilities of their own vehicles," the consortium said in a statement.
But the project has its share of critics.
"The research is clear that when speed limits go up, fatalities go up," Russ Rader, spokesman with the nonprofit Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, told The Associated Press.
He said that a faster speed limit allows people to travel quicker, "but the trade-off is more crashes and more highway deaths."

Bee Wilson tells us to eat butter for our health
How a US farmers' lobby deceived us about polyunsaturated fats
How a US farmers' lobby deceived us about polyunsaturated fats
by Bee Wilson Published
"Why aren't the French dropping like flies?" This was the title of an article written ten years ago by the American food journalist Jeffrey Steingarten to address what became known as "le paradoxe francais". What Steingarten had observed was actually less of a paradox, more of a contradiction. Why, if, as health experts claimed, a high-cholesterol diet caused heart attacks, did the butter-munching French have such a low rate of deaths from coronary heart disease?
The French paradox still hasn't really been explained by scientists, and meanwhile a further, and if anything, more unsettling anomaly in our thinking about fats has been largely ignored, both by government health advisers and by most of the media. We might call it the Filipino paradox, except that it's less of a paradox, more of a disgrace.
For years, we have been told that "too much" saturated fat contributes to heart disease, hypertension, strokes and cancer. So how is it that the people of the Philippines have strikingly low rates of all these diseases, even though they consume large quantities of coconut oil, the most saturated of all the edible fats? Coconut oil is 92 per cent saturated. Yet as the food researcher and chef Pia Lim-Castillo recently explained: "People who eat coconut oil in place of other vegetable oils are amazingly free from the degenerative diseases which are so common in the west. They not only have ideal body weight based on the standard body mass index but they live longer as well."
I don't wish to trespass on John Pilger's territory, but the western public is mostly unaware of this not merely because of the uncertain state of scientific knowledge on the subject, but also because of deliberate misinformation from those with vested interests in promoting polyunsaturated vegetable oils as a "healthy alternative". The main villains in the US have been the bountifully subsidised American soybean farmers, who backed a huge propaganda war in the Eighties against "tropical fats" such as coconut oil and palm oil.
Playing on a xenophobic distrust of alien foods, this campaign convinced the American public that they would be healthier if they ate patriotic polyunsaturated soybean oil. The public was never told that: a) soybean oil is usually partially hydrogenated, resulting in unhealthy trans fatty acids or b) more crucially, that polyunsaturated fats, home-grown or not, may well contribute to cancer.
A scholarly article by Barry Groves points out that over the past two decades, since we began accepting advice to eat more polyunsaturates in Britain, the incidence of cancer, as well as of obesity and diabetes, has risen dramatically. As early as 1980, the Oncology Times published research showing that mice fed polyunsaturated fats were more likely to develop melanomas. In 1991, two independent studies in the US and Canada linked polyunsaturated vegetable oils to cancer, especially breast cancer. The question shouldn't be why the Filipinos aren't dropping like flies, but why we are.
When you heat them, polyunsaturated fats become even dodgier nutritionally, because they oxidise much more easily than saturated fats, creating free radicals, which have a damaging effect on body cells. Coconut oil, that elixir of the tropics, has a peroxidation level of only 32.48. Butter comes second at 142.12. Olive oil is quite high, at 362.80 (save it for using green and raw), but still nothing like as high as our old friend polyunsaturated soy oil, which comes in at a whopping 608.00, making it positively hazardous to cook with.
How encouraging it is to think that, contrary to the dicta of the cheerless Flora lobby, good food and good health may go together after all. Eat butter, live long and prosper.
