Those of us obsessed with light coffee know that 2% versus milk versus half and half is vastly different. Suffice it to say, the "milk" was indeed 2% and tasted like white-colored water. Anyhoo, the plane left an hour late because it needed a mechanical fix (always a fun thing to hear before you fly 30,000 feet in the air) but we landed on time. We had planned to go right to Oxford for three days before London, but we found out that our British friends, James Thompson and John Reid, were free for lunch at 1 PM. We thought it would be a headache to travel 90 minutes to Oxford and then 90 minutes back for lunch, so we decided to wait it out in London. Unshowered and carrying our luggage. John and James are staying at the Dorchester Hotel while their home is being renovated so I thought we should ask if the hotel would watch our luggage while we had breakfast. I thought there was a chance they'd smile and say "indubitately" or they'd glare and say, "We're very sorry. We cannot be responsible for watching any of your parcels." Then ending with a "Now go!" a la Patti LuPone in Sunset Boulevard.
We arrived at the Dorchester, which is fancy shmancy, with an extra dose of shmancy and, turns out, they were so nice! They told us we could leave whatever bags we wanted while we went to breakfast and then, when we mentioned we wanted to change our t-shirts because we just flew for seven hours, they offered us use of their full spa and shower services! It was so fantastic! We got showered, dressed, went to breakfast and then met John and James for lunch. They told us that Joan Collins does her show at the same theatre I'm performing at. Naturally. I've always thought of myself and Joan as peers. They also added that at one point in the show, she mentions how she used to do "the splits" and then literally does the splits! Not cool. How can I top that?
After a delightful lunch at Nobu, James and I got on the London to Oxford bus. We got our hotel on Priceline.com but after it chose one for us, we read the reviews on TripAdviser.com. They all talked about how the rooms had no air conditioning (!) and how hot they were. Some of the rooms didn't have windows that opened! We immediately called Priceline and told them that the hotel was listed as having three stars but the recent comments on TripAdvisor made it seem decidedly not three stars. We wanted to get our money back and find another hotel. They emailed us back saying that they spoke to the hotel and were assured that it met the strict Priceline guidelines for three stars. OK. So, we traveled 90 minutes to the hotel in Oxford, walked into our room, and immediately started sweating profusely. We found the fan provided for us in the room that was supposed to help cool it down. The so-called fan was around five inches and couldn't circulate any air from outside because there was no outlet near the window! Since we didn't want to live in a real-live steam room, we got another hotel, checked out and took the 90 minute bus back to London. So, to recap, seven hours flight to London, an hour to the Dorchester Hotel, 90 minutes by bus to Oxford, 30-minute stay in Oxford and 90 minutes back to London. I'm writing a sequel to "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" and calling it "Planes, Trains, Buses and Buses."

All Ames Hotels are sold out for the Texas Game, is this usual?

No - I think it is pretty comon. We tried last year to get a room for a couple of home night games and they were sold out as well. Told us Ankeny was the closest with available rooms.
ya everyone wants to catch our last game vs texas while we are in a real conference
I imagine Parents' Weekend has something to do with it too. My dad was searching for a room the other day and couldn't find anything in Ames or Ankeny. Ended up with a hotel in Des Moines.
For Family Weekend that usually is the case.
You can stay on my couch for $200 a night. That includes a continental breakfast
Boone has a couple hotels .It is only 15 mins away from stadium. Not sure if they have rooms or not .
Yeah Texas and Family Weekend=Packed weekend for Ames. My parents said they would never come down for that weekend again after freshman year, since it was very crowded.
Nevada, IA has a hotel off 30 next to Story County Medical Center. 10 min away from stadium.
Check Story City, IA also. Think it is 20 min away from stadium or Ames.
last time ISU played texas on family weekend, my grandparents had to sit through a game where we lost 56-3. Not relevant to the thread, but that sucked.
Ames needs more hotels.
Another place to look is Ankeny which is just 20 minutes from JTS.
must be a lot of construction on I-35, can't bring the doublewides.
and I'm all out of gum.
Yeah, everything is booked for the Texas game & it is also family weekend......no rooms in Boone, Story City, Nevada or Ankeny either.
We're in the same boat and can't find a room, but this is a very good thing for the city of Ames. Lots of $$ coming into town and that's why being in the BIG XII is important for this city and Central Iowa.
-- Thanks Coach Paul Rhoads. --
I was told its been booked solid for months

UPDATE, 6/22, 4:25pm -- (Harmless?) Bacteria Turned The Mozzarella Blue
ROME (AP) -- Batches of Mozzarella balls turned blue because of bacterial contamination during production in Germany, Italian prosecutors and health officials said Tuesday, after more than a ton of the suspect cheese was seized.
But the German maker was insisting that the problem was resolved a month ago.
Last week, Italian paramilitary police specializing in food contamination seized 70,000 balls of mozzarella in Turin after consumers complained the milky-white cheese turned blue after the package was opened. Cheese was also seized in Trento, in northern Italy. This week more suspect cheese was found in Sardinia and in Abruzzo near the Adriatic, authorities said.
The Turin prosecutor looking into the mozzarella mystery said testing had found bacterial contamination, but it wasn't clear yet how the contamination occurred.
"Surely it happened in the production phase," but investigators will not say more until they discover how the bacteria contaminated the mozzarella, prosecutor Raffaele Guariniello told The Associated Press by telephone. He declined to say which bacteria had been found.
Mozzarella suspected of being contaminated has been found in Bologna, in Sardinia, including in Sassari and on the tiny Sardinian island of Isola della Maddalena, and in Bologna, Guariniello said.
In Teramo, a town in Abruzzo where blue mozzarella was found, health officials said results to identify the bacteria would be ready in about 48 hours.
The health ministry in Rome said it has received no complaints of illness linked to the blue mozzarella.
So far more than a ton of mozzarella produced by the German maker Milchwerke Jaeger Gmbh in Germany under five brand names has been seized, the ministry said.
A director of food health services in Teramo said the bacteria didn't appear to have toxic effects.
"Those who ate the mozzarella didn't get any type of illness," said Teramo food official Rolando Piccioni.
Consumers have reported that it takes time for the cheese to turn blue after the package is opened, so some of them ate the cheese without realizing it might have been contaminated, Piccioni said.
In some cases the mozzarella turned blue after six to eight hours, but in other cases, it took two days, he said.
Italy's health minister urged mozzarella distributors in Italy to remove any of the cheese made by Milchwerke Jaeger.
In Germany, Hermann Jaeger, the owner of the company that bears his name, expressed surprised at the Italian seizure. He said a harmless germ often found in ground water was identified as the problem in mid-May and insisted it had since been filtered out of the water used in production.
He told The AP there have been complaints about only around 10 mozzarella balls exported to Italy - out of a production of 800,000 a day.
Jaeger claimed that there have been no problems since mid-May, that the cheese was since tested in Italy and was fine
Previously, 6/19:
ROME (AP)-- Italian police confiscated some 70,000 balls of mozzarella in Turin after consumers noticed the milky-white cheese quickly developed a bluish tint when the package was opened, authorities said Saturday.
Agriculture Minister Giancarlo Galan ordered ministry laboratories to investigate what he called a "disturbing" development.
State TV said a woman in Turin called police after noticing that the mozzarella, made in Germany for an Italian company, turned blue after contact with air, and that several merchants in Turin had received similar complaints. Later in the day another consumer, in Trento, a city 200 kilometers (125 miles) to the east in northern Italy, made a similar discovery, authorities said.
Samples were sent to laboratories that normally deal with anti-doping testing in sport to see if they could detect any foreign substances.
Results were expected in a few days.
Health Minister Ferruccio Fazio alerted German authorities and the European Commission to the apparently tainted mozzarella, the health ministry said.
No cases of illness were immediately reported.
The mysterious blue mozzarella was the latest embarrassment for a food that is a point of pride for Italians and a staple in pizzas, panini and even the signature "caprese" salad in the red-white-and-green colors of the national flag -- ripe tomatoes, creamy rich cheese and fragrant basil leaves.
Most prized of all the mozzarella is the kind made from buffalo milk. But earlier this year, Italian agriculture authorities said some of the buffalo mozzarella, which comes from an area south of Rome, had fallen below standard after traces of cow's milk were found in it.
Two years earlier, tests at hundreds of Italian mozzarella production plants found high levels of dioxin in some samples of buffalo milk. That scare led some countries to suspend imports.
Buffalo mozzarella enjoys Europe's Protected Designation of Origin label, meaning the real thing has to be made following strict criteria, including using only buffalo milk.
After blue mozzarella surfaced, the Italian agriculture lobby Coldiretti lamented that many consumers don't know that half the mozzarella sold in Italy is made from foreign-produced milk. It is pushing for legislation that would oblige producers to the origin of all ingredients on the label.
Currently, only cartons of fresh milk must indicate where the contents come from. Makers of yogurt, powdered milk and cheeses can use imported milk without mentioning it on the label.
Authorities didn't immediately make public the name of the German company making the suspect mozzarella or the Italian label on it.
The health ministry said areas in Italy where the blue mozzarella might be put on sale were put on alert in case the product shows up in stores.

Never go grocery shopping the day before the Superbowl. I hate going grocery shopping as it is and it was desperately needed so I really didn't have an option. But, never again. The plaza where one of our grocery stores is was a crazy zoo and inside the grocery store wasn't much better. Everything picked over, nothing left but an overabundance of Superbowl chips and dip. There was produce on the floor, people fighting through aisles etc. And since it was so crowded I could blatantly see people picking up produce and putting it back, and being the germaphobe that I am, that really skeeves me out. I know it happens, but when I actually see it, yuck. So yeah, the whole experience was basically my worst nightmare.
But the trip itself was good food-wise, I tried to do a general meal plan before hand, made my way around the outer grocery store getting all my produce/freggies, lean meats, and greek yogurts. Yes, I ended up putting 30 yogurts in my cart (on sale, 10/$10 and we each eat one a day...so we'll go through them). I did however buy some not so great Superbowl food (I mean, it's expected and practically considered another holiday) so I bought boneless white meat chicken tenders (Buffalo and Bourbon flavored) and tortilla chips and salsa.
In other news, I'm in a complete funk, again. Off the wagon, feeling like a failure, again. ugggh.
January was a complete split. After New Years I had a solid 2 straight weeks of staying on track, I lost the weight I gained over the holidays and I was feeling good. Then somewhere along the line I got tired of being so good. The last two weeks of January into the first week of February were crap, I only worked out 11 out of the 21 days. I should have done at LEAST 15. And my eating habits were terrible, filled with binges and no dinner planning. Last week was a terrible work week, I worked long hours most days (and I already work 9.5 hour days) so I was too exhausted to exercise. I was afraid to weigh myself over these last few weeks, but when I did I was up about a pound, but still within my ideal range and still 10 pounds down from where I was. Then I weighed myself again after the hellish last week and I was up 4 pounds in a single week! I blamed it on one of my salty binges and sure enough a few days later I was down again. But I want to still be losing, not fluctuating and struggling just to maintain.
I slipped into all the excuses and downward spiral mentality...well this week I'm stressed, I'll eat what I want, I'm too tired to work out, I know I can regain control so I might as well "have at it" this week...giving in to the things I normally don't (e.g. a muffin with my coffee, not packing my own lunches and going out, etc. etc.) Then this all frustrated me more because I felt like I was on the D word, a DIET and as most of us know, to succeed you need to make healthy habits a way of life, and that diets are "bad."
So then I got to thinking how do I get out of feeling like I'm on a diet? Is it the tedious tracking? Is it adhering to my 5-6 days a week workout plan? Do I still have an unhealthy attitude toward food? (yes...otherwise I wouldn't so easily be able to say screw it! I'm getting candy after eating Mexican, justifying it by the fact that I was craving it and I was on a "break" because I already had a bad day/week) Would not tracking but still being diligent help me? As in, am I capable of losing weight w/out being so strict on Spark and using it as a safety blanket? I honestly don't think I'm ready to try. I've seen it time and time again with myself that if I can't track something (I don't know the calories, etc.) then I think I've already messed up everything for the day so it doesn't matter any more. I have it on my own SparkPage but I need to live up to it and I am sooo tired of failing at it "If you're tired of starting over, don't give up!" if only it were that easy
Then, I'm feeling down because I pretty much failed all my New Years resolutions. so expected :(
I have broken:
*never go 2 days without some form of exercise
*stick with my HRM training program
*no alcohol
*write in my journal once a month
*ease up with my bf (about wedding stuff etc. okay kind of hard to do when THREE of your friends get engaged in one weekend and its like shoving it in my face/his face that we are not there yet)
Resolutions I've been okay about:
*Losing the holiday weight and maintaining - but now I have a lower goal
*reducing my artificial sugars (hard because its not really a specific goal with an end accomplishment)
*working out longer on days I work from home (no commute = more time to workout. I don't think I've adhered to this every day I've worked from home, but I would say most)
*attend 1 Meetup per month. I went to one in January and I have ones planned for Feb
*Start saving regularly--well I haven't gone on any shopping sprees that didnt involve the gift cards I got from Christmas
Anyways, if you made it through all of this I applaud you. All I can do is keep. moving. forward. And any advice on finding balance and not feeling like I'm on a diet would be greatly appreciated! Let's make this a great week/month!

Do not focus on your failures.. it will only make you not want to continue. I struggle with this too.. but try to visualize yourself meeting your goal. That bathing suit you want to look good in... the vacation you want to look good in pictures for.. the next time you get together with family, the comments you hear because you'll look good and shine with confidence. Just feeling good about yourself in general that you accomplished a goal!
One thing to think about... you are really never too tired to work out. Trust me.. this is an excuse. I struggled with that when I first started getting into fitness. "should I go to the gym.. I'm kinda tired today." And I was tired.. believe me! But I found that as long as I could get myself out the door and to the gym.. I was good. Exercise energizes you.. strange but true.. I always feel more awake and alert after a workout, no matter how tired I am. Try it.. just get out the door (or if you workout at home.. put your workout clothes on as soon as you get home.) No excuses! :) Good luck!

Sorry you have been dealing with this! It seems like adding a little bit of stress to a great program brings out our old monsters (overeating, mentally checking out etc). As far as advice goes, I'm not sure that I'm really in a place to give any, as I've been dealing with a lot of the same issues lately. Don't be so hard on yourself though. Get back to doing what you were doing because it was definitely working before.

"Move forward, not in anger, but with a purpose." - Sherrilyn Kenyon
I try not to get frustrated, I just get up and go! I know that today I'm probably going over my range. I'm not worried. I haven't even lost all of the weight from Xmas (I'm down about 5 of the lbs I gained). But my level of activity means that I'll get there eventually as long as I stop buying bins of sour candy more than once a week.
I know you've got it in you. Put in your favourite vid and go. Just have fun with it!

We all struggle with these thoughts. Especially this time of year I think we all have a harder time staying on track and fully focused. I know how hard it can be to trust yourself in not tracking too. I felt very weird at first when I stopped tracking daily. I would just think about how some days I would track everything even if it was a "bad" day just to end up feeling more guilt. Or how I would have good days because I was going to track it all. So I just started having more days where I would say tracking or not tracking everything I put in affects my body weather it is tacked or not! So I need to eat what does my body good and not the stuff that makes me lose progress and feel gross. It takes a lot of positive self talk and commitment to eat only whole unprocessed foods daily but it is worth it and we are worth it. We can't be perfect all the time but the more we try to be balanced the easier maintaining can be! Let's just keep taking it one day at a time girl.

text: Gemini (V.GKX) up 11% on letter agreement for major oil rail loading facility design-build Gaalen Engen, Stockhouse.com 0 Comments| May 14, 2014 Add to favourites Gemini (TSX:V.GKX, Stock Forum), a Calgary-based provider of engineering, fabrication and maintenance solutions for western Canadian energy and industrial facilities, announced today that the company had entered into a letter of agreement with a key client for the design and construction of a major oil loading facility to be located in Western Canada. According to the news release, the agreement outlined the terms and conditions where which the company and its client will finalize the contract for the engineering, procurement and construction of the facility. Gemini is currently wrapping up front end engineering design work on the project under the existing agreement with the client. Existing contractual conditions prevent the company from revealing the client or the value of the project. Scheduled completion of the facility is expected sometime mid-2015, barring unforeseen delays, with the majority of the detailed design engineering and related procurement service revenue anticipated to be realized in 2014 and the bulk of construction and commissioning revenue expected to be transacted in 2015. Company president and CEO, Doug Lautermilch, commented on the deal, "This is an important project for Gemini and our client, given the challenges that continue to exist for the export of oil from Canada." He then concluded, "We are extremely pleased that our client has seen the value in Gemini's design-build capability for this large project and we are looking forward to working closely with them to achieve a successful result." Gemini was in the news recently when the company finalized a purchase agreement with ONYX Drafting Services mid-March. Shares rose 11.69% on the news to $0.86 per share. Currently there are 55.9m outstanding shares with a market cap of $48.1 million.

In December 2009, MDA awarded $21 million in new research grants for neuromuscular disease research.
MDA's Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) and Medical Advisory Committee (MAC) meet each fall and spring to review applications for research grants. Applications are scored on the basis of the capabilities of the applicant, the scientific merit of the project, and the proposal's relevance to developing treatments for the diseases in MDA's program. MDA's Board of Directors then reviews the recommendations of the MAC and SAC.
Development of delivery of a therapeutic gene via the bloodstream to the thigh muscles in people with type 2D limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD2D) is proceeding on schedule, thanks in part to a new $458,814 grant from MDA to neurologist Jerry Mendell at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.
MDA's Board of Directors approved the new funding, via the Association's translational research/MDA Venture Philanthropy program, on Dec. 4, 2009.
Interim results from a human clinical trial of the exon-skipping compound AVI4658 in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) show that when the compound is delivered to the whole body via the bloodstream — rather than simply injected into a foot muscle as in a previous trial — it appears safe and leads to production of the missing muscle protein dystrophin.
"Pa, I'm gettin' darn tired of goin' down there and comin' back with second place."
Robert Powell, 14, ordinarily is a young man of very few words. But when the subject is horse-pulling contests, it garners the full attention of this lad from Pleasuresville, Ky.
A comprehensive set of clinical care recommendations for the diagnosis and management of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is now available to medical professionals and families.
The complete recommendations, in printable PDF format, can be read here:
New research has shown that a change in a gene not previously connected to type 2C limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD2C) modifies the severity of the disease in mice and is likely to do the same in people with this and perhaps with related types of muscular dystrophy.
New research has shown that a change in a gene not previously connected to type 2C limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD2C) modifies the severity of the disease in mice and is likely to do the same in people with this and perhaps with related types of muscular dystrophy.
Four macaque monkeys that received injections of genes for a protein called follistatin into upper leg muscles experienced pronounced and durable increases in muscle size and strength with no adverse effects, say researchers at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, and Ohio State University.
The findings could have implications for people with muscular dystrophies and other muscle diseases, as well as muscle damage due to other illnesses, injury or aging.

Kurion, a small startup that removed 70% of the radioactivity from the waste-water at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant in Japan, is a testament to the possibilities that clean-technology investing can create.
"They have become one of the most profitable clean-tech companies that no one has ever heard of," said Josh Wolfe, managing partner at New York-based Lux Capital, a venture firm that founded Kurion.
The contract with Tokyo Electric Power yielded about $100 million in revenue and a $40 million profit for Kurion in one 12-month period, said Wolfe. Kurion, which now has 29 employees, was the only U.S. business to participate in the post-tsunami nuclear cleanup in Japan. Read More »

Gracias a Lorena Rojas por su apoyo a mi blog.
Noticias Deportivas, Culturales, y de la Farandula
Gracias a Lorena Rojas por su apoyo a mi blog.
Por su aporte en el mundo artistico y humanitario. Por su lucha contra todos los obstaculos del mundo, El Noticiero Alvarez-Galloso otorga El Premio AG 2013 a la actriz, cantante, y humanitaria mexicana y universal Lorena Rojas.
Por motivo de su aporte hacia la ayuda hacia los demás incluyendo la lucha contra el cáncer de los senos, la actuación, y el sed de justicia, hemos decidido entregar el Premio AG Reina De Las Telenovelas a Lorena Rojas.
The celebrities that come from Hollywood have a negative impact on society and are a bad reflection on the society inherent in the United States of America. Regardless, not all of the celebrities have a negative aspect on society. The examples of positive influences of celebrities mostly originate from Florida and Texas.
The State of Florida [where the underwriter lives] is home to Maria Lourdes. Maria Lourdes is a Cuban American Actress, Singer, Model, and member of the Chorus in a program hosted by Don Francisco [Chilean Television Host] and transmitted by Univision. She is also a recording artist in her own right.
The glory that has been bestowed upon Maria Lourdes has been shared by her to all of the people of the world. During her career, she participated in a concert to benefit a little girl called Zunette Rodriguez. Zunette Rodriguez was a girl who was born without oxygen in her brain. The result was the need to undergo costly operations.
The concert for Zunette Rodriguez raised money in order for the family to pay for her treatment. Maria Lourdes has also participated in concerts and contests in which the money went to help orphanages in Honduras. Her recent work of charity was a concert in the Magic City Casino in Miami Florida. The purpose of the concert was to raise money and awareness for the victims of the earthquake in Haiti in the beginning of 2010.
Maria Lourdes is not the only celebrity in Florida that has contributed with her time and effort. Lorena Rojas who is a Mexican Soap Opera Actress is active in the fight against Cancer. Willie Chirino and Lissette who are Cuban Singers have also been involved in helping refugees from Cuba settle into a new life in Florida.
The State of Texas is also the home to celebrities who have left a positive impact in the lives of people. Jessica Shepherd is a Texas Country and Rock Artist who is nominated for Female Vocalist of the Year 2010 for the Texas Music Awards. She also developed a Music Therapy program for Senior Citizens.
The purpose of her program is applying a mixture of rock, country, gospel, as well as country western from the 1920's to the 1950's for residents of Assisted Living Facilitites. The music would help rekindle memories, enhance interaction between family as well as friends, and reduce tension.
The Jessica Shepherd Music Therapy program has also enhanced positive self esteem in the residents of Assisted Living Facilities and their families. She has also recorded songs that praise God including some that are in the Rockin Gospel Project at Maria's Taco Xpress at Austin Texas.
Brenda Kay who is also known as the Queen of Texas and Americana Music has participated in helping her fellow citizen in Abilene, Texas. She participated in the clean up of the streets of Abilene from litter and clutter in the year 2009. She has also done this on a yearly basis. The program is called the Abilene Trash Off.
The State of New Mexico is home to the famous Mexican American celebrities called Sparx and Lorenzo Antonio. They established a scholarship with the intention of helping bright high school students who cannot afford higher education in their state. The purpose of the scholarship is based on the need of a good education in order to have advantages in life.
While there may be more celebrities who have a positive aspect on society. The artists who were mentioned deserve special praise for their effort to make the world a better place.
Por su trayectoria como actriz, cantante, luchadora contra el cancer, y la promotora de la libertad de dos periodistas asiaticas-estadounidenses de la carcel en Corea del Norte, el Noticiero Alvarez-Galloso por voto unanime entrega el Premio AG Novia de la Television Latina en America del Norte. Ella merece este premio y mucho mas.
Leyenda Entre Leyendas: Lorena Rojas
El próximo capitulo de Leyenda Entre Leyendas será dedicado a una actriz, cantante, y activista que merece ser reconocida a pesar de que es conocida en el universo. Estamos hablando de Lorena Rojas.
Lorena Rojas es famosa por sus actuaciones en las telenovelas de Televisa y Telemundo como por sus actos humanitarios. En la novela "El Alma No Tiene Color", se trato del racismo dentro de nuestra comunidad latina y América Latina.
El significado de "El Alma No Tiene Color" se basa en lo siguiente: el ser humano no debe mirar el exterior sino el interior del ser humano. Lorena Rojas participo en esta novela con la cantante cubana Celia Cruz y su actuación fue ejemplar de una leyenda entre leyendas.
Ella merece la gloria por la interpretación del tema de su novela "El Cuerpo Del Deseo" donde actuó junto con los actores cubanos Severino Puente, Marta Picanes, y Vivian Ruiz. Además de su actuación, Lorena Rojas ha estado involucrado en muchas causas benéficas.
Lorena Rojas ha estado involucrado en la lucha para buscar una cura para el cáncer. Donde hay una causa contra el cáncer, ella dice presente. Ella dio su apoyo al grupo de Lance Armstrong [ciclista anglo-sajón estadounidense] en su lucha contra el cáncer durante su participación en el Tour de Francia.
Durante la crisis de los periodistas asiáticas –estadounidenses Srta. Lee y Srta. Ling, Lorena Rojas adopto la causa de esas periodistas presas en Corea Del Norte por pisar el territorio ilegalmente.
Clinton y Kim Jong Il quizás lograron liberar a las periodistas mediante la politiquería pero Lorena Rojas merece la gloria por dar publicidad a esas dos periodistas. Si no fuera por Lorena Rojas, la Srta. Lee y Srta. Ling todavía estaría en la cárcel bajo la sentencia de 50 años de educación mediante el trabajo forzado bajo la supervisión de Kim Jong Il.
Lorena Rojas ha sido instrumental en hablar del medio ambiente. Nuestra Tierra esta en peligro con la contaminación ambiental, las amenazas contra los Osos Polares, y la posibilidad de que estamos convirtiendo Nuestra Tierra en una replica de su hermana El Planeta Venus.
Acuérdate que en una época Venus parecía como la Tierra y quedo destruido su medio ambiente, sin vida y la temperatura esta en las altas esferas, Lorena Rojas merece la gloria por sus esfuerzos a favor de Nuestra Tierra.
Es por eso y mucho más que Lorena Rojas merece ser mencionada en la serie de "Leyenda Entre Leyendas".
The history of entertainment would be incomplete without mentioning an artist who not only captivated the world with her external beauty but her internal one. One of the examples that exists in the today's world is Lorena Rojas who rose to stardom and is now supporting various causes such as ths struggle against cancer and contamination of the environment.
Lorena Rojas was born in 1972 in Mexico and started her career at the age of 18. In 1990, she appeared in the soap opera Alcanzar Una Estrella [Catching A Star] in its first and second part produced by Televisa. Her career was rising like a meteor with her participation in the following soap operas such as Baila Conmigo [Dance With Me], Mas Que Alacanzar Una Estrella [More than Catching A Star], Morena [Dark Hair], El Triste Juego Del Amor [The Sad Game Of Love], and Buscando El Paraiso [Looking For Paradise].
One of the biggest success of this multitalented actress was El Alma No Tiene Color [The Soul Is Free Of Racism]. It dealt with the social issue of racism in Western Societies especially within Latin America and the US Latin Community. El Alma No Tiene Color was meant to make people look themselves in the face and address the issues of racism even subtle racism within ourselves. She played the part of Ana Luisa Roldan De Alamo with grace and charm. She appeared in this soap opera with the Cuban Singer Celia Cruz.
Lorena Rojas went on to star in the soap opera "El Cuerpo Del Deseo" with artists such as the Cuban Actor and Comedian Severino Puente as well as Marta Picanes and Vivian Ruiz. "El Cuerpo Del Deseo" was a success even in Europe and Asia. El Cuerpo Del Deseo means "The Body Of Desire" Lorena Rojas also sang the theme song to the soap opera which became an instant success.
The success of Lorena Rojas not only lies in her professional career and external beauty. She has been involved in many causes including the struggle to find a cure for cancer. She has also participated in the struggle for a clean environment. Lorena Rojas believes that there should be a cure for cancer and has supported various causes that promote the cause to eliminate this dreaded disease.
Lorena Rojas also wanted to challenge people to think green when it comes to the environment. She is active in telling people that we have only one Earth and if we pollute it, we are giving ourselves and future generations a disservice. She deserves to be mentioned in a biography for being an example that people should emulate.

Love the Bracketlooks so pretty holding up my shelf
Beautiful in theory, messy in realityI purchased these in rust and really liked the look -- until I took them out of the packaging. They are literally COVERED in rusty dust. To be fair, the site does list them as "a living finish," but I didn't think they would be so covered with rust that they would stain my hands and anything they touched. I ended up wiping the finish off and spray painting them another color. The finish just wasn't the same in person and I didn't want to run the risk of getting the orange dust on my clothes, etc. Now that they're painted, though, I'm really happy with them. The design looks great -- simple yet elegant.

Readers opening up the Book of Hours of Marguerite d'Orléans will see the entire late medieval world spread out before them. The unexpected variety of scenes from everyday life and the brilliant, warm colours are immediately enchanting. Set at regular intervals, forty-one miniatures of the highest artistic quality ornament the 210 pages measuring 20.7 × 15 cm. In addition there are twenty-four calendar medallions framed in gold, and forty-two historicized borders, featuring a panorama of the fifteenth century in its many different facets.
The French Royal Family's Love of Books
Marguerite d'Orléans (1404-1466) was a member of the French aristocracy. She was the granddaughter of the French king, Charles V, and the great-niece of Jean, Duc de Berry. The former's book collection constituted the foundation of the French national library, and the latter was considered the greatest bibliophile of the Middle Ages. Marguerite must have inherited the bibliophile blood of her famous forefathers. How else to explain the fact that one of the most original books of hours was created just for her?
A Wedding Gift?
In 1426 Marguerite d'Orléans married Richard d'Etampes, Duke of Brittany. That same year the duke commissioned an illuminator in the Breton city of Rennes to create a book of hours that may have been intended as a wedding gift. Many images of the couple's joint coats-of-arms, their monogram,"r&m" in almost all of the initials, and a portrait of Marguerite praying to the Virgin Mary emphasize the very personal nature of this book of hours. The Breton illuminator ornamented the calendar with twenty-four quatrefoils and signs of the Zodiac, as well as typical occupations for each month, embedded in a diverse, imaginatively decorated framework.
Brilliant Gold Miniatures and Unusual Borders
The forty-one miniatures in the main section and the original borders - all ornamented in brilliant gold or shimmering silver - were made around the year 1430. They are all from the hand of the "Master of Marguerite d'Orléans" who is identified today through the outstanding work he did on this masterpiece. In the 1450s Marguerite d'Orléans had her book of hours updated according to the taste of the times. Etienne Sauderat, from the circle of the Bedford Master, added decorative elements to different borders.
Great Stylistic Role Models: the Boucicaut Master and the Limbourg Brothers
The Master of Marguerite d'Orléans probably trained in Paris in the circle of the Boucicaut Master; he may even have been his pupil. Consequently, he deftly adapted many of the Boucicaut Master's stylistic elements to suit his own needs. Afterward, his first commissions took him to Bourges, the site of the last workshop of the famous Limbourg brothers. And indeed, the Book of Hours of Marguerite d'Orléans leaves us with no doubt that he must have been very familiar with the work of the Limbourg brothers. He probably also produced Marguerite's Book of Hours in Rennes, a thriving city in Brittany that had been largely spared the ravages of the Hundred Years' War.
A Window on the Middle Ages: Tremendous Diversity of Scenes Depicted in the Borders
The forty-one miniatures of scenes from the New Testament and the images of the saints are among some of the most beautiful of the epoch. The surrounding borders make the book of hours one of the most unique testimonies to feudal life around 1430. First of all, scenes from the Old Testament do not appear in medieval guise. Instead, the illuminator's imagination never fails to portray the most diverse facets of medieval life in an interesting manner: knights prove themselves in tournaments and in battle; pilgrims travel to Santiago de Compostela; grapes are grown on trellises; birds caught and deer hunted; wheat is harvested and ships are unloaded in the harbor.
Binding description
Thought to be the work of Antoine-Michel Padeloup, the royal bookbinder to Louis XV and the Marquise de Pompadour. Magnificent leather mosaic bindings made between 1725 and 1733.

I didn't like the shove, but I didn't like AJ yelling down a fifth year senior who has protected his backside. All in all, that was the ultra competitiveness and desire for perfection from this program, and more precise, two brothers squabbling.
Saw this on Facebook by an Auburn fan that had a meltdown the entire day yesterday and it's continued today...
Would like to tell the person that is the difference in Alabama and other schools. With the score 42-14, AJ wants to properly execute the play.Best imitation of a three-year-old that I've ever seen from a college football player. I hope AJ didn't soil his panties during that little _____ fit.
"I don't know what class is but I can tell when one has it, you can tell from a mile away"
Coach Bryant
Rasuputin's response to my question "What benefit do tablets provide students?"
(In an old southern trailer park redneck beer in hand marlboro light in other and camoflauge cutoff shorts man's voice) If a tablet was good enough for Moses and the 10 Commandments then by god they are good enough for my children in school today!!!!!!!
There's nothing to talk about here. They had a disagreement, AJ got in Barrett's face, and Barrett made it clear he wasn't going to tolerate being spoken to that way.
I think they both got their point across.
"She is the last of her kind, she thought. No wars had ever touched her, and she had lived through three; nothing had disturbed that world of hers, where gentlemen smoked on the porch or in hammocks, where ladies fanned themselves gently and drank cool water." - Jean Louise Finch describing her aunt in 'Go Set a Watchman'
AJ needs to save his temper for the bench. It's one thing to have a heated disagreement, it's another thing to show a guy up in front of all of his team mates, peers, and a national televised audience. I don't know who made the correct call on the field, but AJ has to control himself better that that no matter what the situation was.
I don't think anything of it, me and one of my best friends would dog each other during the course of me pitching and him catching during baseball, I'm sure a lot of teams had a blast at hearing us tell each other off. We spent more time fussing with each other than talking smack to the other side. Just how it is sometimes.
But at the end of the day we were still cracking open beers with no problem
AJ should't have jumped on BL. BJ shouldn't try to override the QB, right or wrong.
The QB has to be the leader in that situation.
It only occurred due to their close relationship.
I like our players fired up for perfection at that point of the game. AJ has come a long way in his leadership roll on offense.
Next year we'll enter the season with the best situation at QB in my adult lifetime. It's gonna be great!
What were the directives from the coaches in this situation regarding changing the blocks and play and who makes the ultimate call? Does anyone here really know?
The existence of God isn't determined in the thoughts of man. God exists, no matter what man thinks.
"It cost a lot of money to look this cheap."-Dolly Parton.
"If you ever want to know how good your barbecue is start charging for it"-Myron Mixon
It reinforced my opinion that AJ needs another year of college. He lost his composure big time and severely rattled probably the most mentally disciplined player on the team. Most men do not take well to having someone violently screaming in their ear. He can never do that in the NFL. AJ is needs another year...........thank God!

December 1, 2015
HOUSTON (July 22, 2014) Robert Durst, 71, a New York City real estate heir who admitted killing his neighbor in Texas a decade ago was facing a new charge Tuesday in Houston after he was accused of urinating on candy at a CVS drug store.
Durst was arrested Sunday after arguing with store employees and was charged with criminal mischief after urinating on at least $100 worth of candy, authorities said.
Durst's attorney, Chip Lewis, said in a statement Tuesday that the will allegations will be addressed in court.
In 2001, Durst was arrested as a fugitive and admitted killing his neighbor and dumping the remains in Galveston Bay.
He claimed self-defense and was acquitted of homicide charges.
Durst's family runs The Durst Organization, a privately held billion-dollar real estate company that owns several New York skyscrapers.

I've had this before...it's delicious!
I loved it and so did my husband, it's a bit on the sweet side though and really rich if you use milk so go with the water. It doesn't taste like alchohol at all, it's really nice.
This hot drink is one of my favorites! VERY easy to make and VERY good for sipping on cold nights. It's rated an overall 4 because the alcohol in the drink is not kid friendly. Otherwise, it ...

CHAPTER 8#The breaking of the seventh seal produces at first silence and then seven symbolic disasters, each announced by a trumpet blast, of which the first four form a unit as did the first four seals. A minor liturgy (Rev 8:3–5) is enclosed by a vision of seven angels (Rev 8:2, 6). Then follow the first four trumpet blasts, each heralding catastrophes modeled on the plagues of Egypt affecting the traditional prophetic third (cf. Ez 5:12) of the earth, sea, fresh water, and stars (Rev 8:7–12). Finally, there is a vision of an eagle warning of the last three trumpet blasts (Rev 8:13).
The Seven Trumpets.
1When he broke open the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven#Silence in heaven: as in Zep 1:7, a prelude to the eschatological woes that are to follow; cf. Introduction. for about half an hour.#a. [8:1] Heb 2:20; Zep 1:7; Zec 2:17. 2And I saw that the seven angels who stood before God were given seven trumpets.#b. [8:2] 4:5; Tb 12:15.
The Gold Censer.
3Another angel came and stood at the altar,#Altar: there seems to be only one altar in the heavenly temple, corresponding to the altar of holocausts in Rev 6:9, and here to the altar of incense in Jerusalem; cf. also Rev 9:13; 11:1; 14:18; 16:7. holding a gold censer. He was given a great quantity of incense to offer, along with the prayers of all the holy ones, on the gold altar that was before the throne.#c. [8:3] Ps 141:2; Tb 12:12. 4The smoke of the incense along with the prayers of the holy ones went up before God from the hand of the angel. 5Then the angel took the censer, filled it with burning coals from the altar, and hurled it down to the earth. There were peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.#d. [8:5] Ez 10:2; Ps 11:6 / 4:5; 11:19; 16:18.
The First Four Trumpets.
6The seven angels who were holding the seven trumpets prepared to blow them.#e. [8:6] 16:1–21.
7When the first one blew his trumpet, there came hail and fire mixed with blood, which was hurled down to the earth. A third of the land was burned up, along with a third of the trees and all green grass.#This woe resembles the seventh plague of Egypt (Ex 9:23–24); cf. Jl 3:3.
8#The background of these two woes is the first plague of Egypt (Ex 7:20–21). When the second angel blew his trumpet, something like a large burning mountain was hurled into the sea. A third of the sea turned to blood,#f. [8:8] Ex 7:20. 9a third of the creatures living in the sea#Creatures living in the sea: literally, "creatures in the sea that had souls." died, and a third of the ships were wrecked.
10When the third angel blew his trumpet, a large star burning like a torch fell from the sky. It fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water.#g. [8:10] Is 14:12. 11The star was called "Wormwood,"#Wormwood: an extremely bitter and malignant plant symbolizing the punishment God inflicts on the ungodly; cf. Jer 9:12–14; 23:15. and a third of all the water turned to wormwood. Many people died from this water, because it was made bitter.#h. [8:11] Jer 9:14.
12When the fourth angel blew his trumpet, a third of the sun, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars were struck, so that a third of them became dark. The day lost its light for a third of the time, as did the night.#i. [8:12] Ex 10:21–23.
13Then I looked again and heard an eagle flying high overhead cry out in a loud voice, "Woe! Woe! Woe#Woe! Woe! Woe: each of the three woes pronounced by the angel represents a separate disaster; cf. Rev 9:12; 11:14. The final woe, released by the seventh trumpet blast, includes the plagues of Rev 16. to the inhabitants of the earth from the rest of the trumpet blasts that the three angels are about to blow!"

Travers: Wicked finish for V.E. DayTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS | August 24,2014SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. V.E. Day caught Wicked Strong late to take the 145th running of the Travers Stakes by a nose Saturday over an impressive field that included Belmont champion Tonalist and favorite Bayern.
Ridden by Javier Castellano, V.E. Day beat out the co-second choices after going off at nearly 20-1 and returning $41.00, $13.20, and $7.30 in the $1.25 million Grade 1 stakes race.
Trainer Jimmy Jerkens swept the top two spots in the 1-1/4-mile Grade 1 stakes for three-year-olds, with the more well-regarded Wicked Strong coming second and retuning $4.40 and $3.10.
I wasnt absolutely sure it was V. E. Day because he had so much mud on him, until they got a little closer and I saw the silks and then I knew it was him, Jerkens said. I said, Man, what a feeling. I know Im going to win the Travers. I just dont know with who.
Bayern, trained by Bob Baffert, had nothing to give after winning the Haskell Invitational in his most recent start and ran out of steam approaching the quarter pole. Mr. Speaker, who won the Grade 1 Belmont Derby on the grass in July finished fifth. Tonalist paid $3.40 to show.
Im happy for Jimmy, Castellano said. Hes a great horseman. He does such a good job.MORE IN Wire Sports

The storied campus also houses the National College Football Hall of Fame and the Basilica of the Sacred Heart. Nevada and Notre Dame will play in the famous stadium at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday.
SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- You know how the anticipation of what you envision a famous place will look like is never actually what it looks like?
The University of Notre Dame fits that mold, too.

WASHINGTON – A Metrobus collided with a car closing off access from Interstate 66 to the Dulles Toll Road at the start of the Friday evening rush.
Access to Route 267/Dulles Toll Road was blocked for almost two hours. Police reopened the left lane leading to Route 267 about 5:50 p.m.
Four people were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries after the 4:10 p.m. wreck, Virginia State Police say.
Police say the bus hit a Mitsubishi sedan in the westbound lanes of I-66 at Route 267/Dulles Toll Road. The bus stopped off the road, against a guard rail.
More than 30 people were on the bus at the time and two passengers were taken by ambulance to Reston Hospital. The bus driver and the driver of the Mitsubishi were also taken to Reston Hospital, police say.
Another Metrobus picked up the remaining uninjured passengers about 5 p.m.

From Omarosa - the reality star, global television personality, and prime-time villainess you love to hate - comes The Bitch Switch, the smart and bitingly honest must-read for every woman who aspires to succeed in relationships, in business, and at home.
©2008 Phoenix Books; (P)2008 Phoenix Audio
"Reality television mainstay Omarosa, best known for her caustic behavior as a contestant on The Apprentice, has embraced her identity as on-screen reality villain and turned it into a genuinely insightful, thorough self-help guide for women looking to strengthen themselves, especially in work environments." (Publishers Weekly)
"Totally awful"
This is an awful book but her voice is worse. It's like she is trying to make her self help book sound like porn. Really annoying. Don't bother.

Château Lafon-Rochet Saint-Estephe
Wine Details
Winemaker's Notes
(From 2009 Vintage)
With a real richness for a St Estèphe, this is a dense, complex but
juicy wine which manages to be both serious but pretty at the same time. With
well-managed, grainy tannins, a long, savoury length and fine, mineral
complexity, this is very impressive indeed.
Expert Reviews
Decanter(From 1990 Vintage) Rating: 4/5 - As reviewed by Decanter. An elegant nose. Wonderful fruit on the palate, with powerful tannin.
