Athletes love the thrill of a win -- whether it's on the court, in the ring or on the field. So it's no surprise that their competitive spirit and aggressive mentality come out in divorce court as well.
Click through the slides below to see eight of the nastiest sports star splits and add your picks in the comments.
Chad Johnson and Evelyn Lozada's whirlwind 41-day marriage came to an end in August 2012 when Lozada filed for divorce from the former NFL wide receiver. Earlier that month, Johnson reportedly head-butted his now-ex-wife during an argument. "Basketball Wives" star Lozada was hospitalized for a laceration on her head, and Johnson was arrested on misdemeanor domestic violence charges. The following day, the Miami Dolphins announced that they were terminating Johnson's contract. In a possible attempt to win her back, Johnson had Lozada's face tattooed on his right calf. The couple's divorce was finalized on September 19.
NBA star Dwyane Wade's divorce from high school sweetheart Siohvaughn Funches lasted almost four years -- it began in November 2007 and wasn't finalized until June 2010. In May 2010, Funches-Wade filed a lawsuit against Wade's girlfriend, actress Gabrielle Union, for "engag[ing] in sexual foreplay" with Wade in front of their two young children. It was later dismissed by an Illinois judge. She also accused her ex-husband of giving her chlamydia, although sworn witness testimony proved otherwise. In addition to the messy divorce proceedings, the ex-couple was also embroiled in a nasty custody battle over their two sons, Zion and Zaire. Wade was awarded sole custody in March 2011, which his ex-wife later unsuccessfully attempted to appeal. In June 2012, she was arrested for trying to abduct their two children.
In 2009, Tiger Woods made headlines for something other than his golf skills when reports of his numerous extramarital affairs began to surface. First, the National Enquirer published a story about his alleged affair with Rachel Uchitel, a New York nightclub hostess. Days later, Woods was involved in a minor car crash outside of his Florida home which led to widespread speculation about the circumstances of the accident. In the following weeks, roughly a dozen reported mistresses came forward, releasing incriminating voicemails and text messages Woods had sent -- all while married to Elin Nordegren. The ex-couple finalized their divorce in August 2010 after almost six years of marriage. Nordegren walked away with joint custody of their two children and a reported $110 million settlement.
Robin Givens filed for divorce merely eight months after marrying famed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson in February 1988. Both partners accused the other of erratic behavior and abuse: Givens told Barbara Walters that Tyson was manic depressive and that she lived a "life of horror" with the boxer. In divorce papers, she states that Tyson "has throughout our marriage been violent and physically abusive, and prone to unprovoked rages of violence and destruction." In return, Tyson attempted to have their marriage annulled, claiming that he had been subjected to "extreme cruelty" and that Givens had manipulated him into marriage by falsely telling him she was pregnant. Tyson accuses her of waging a "campaign to publicly humiliate [me], strip [me] of [my] manhood and ... dignity and to destroy [my] credibility as a public figure." In the end, Givens received a cool $10 million settlement.
NBA star Jason Kidd and his ex-wife, Joumana, split in January 2007 after 10 years of marriage. In the divorce filing, he accused her of "extreme cruelty" throughout their union. "The defendant's extreme and unwarranted jealousy and rage has left the plaintiff concerned about her emotional stability," the papers say, noting that Joumana had kicked, hit, punched and thrown household items at her husband numerous times. Joumana filed her own lawsuit one month later, in which she portrayed the basketball star as a binge drinking abuser who assaulted her while she was pregnant with the couple's first child. She accused him of engaging in extramarital affairs with television reporters, strippers, a New Jersey Nets season ticket holder (where Kidd had previously played), a Nets employee and a cheerleader. Prior to the dramatic dissolution of their marriage, Kidd was arrested for spousal abuse in January 2001 and pleaded guilty to hitting Joumana.
Alex Rodriguez's ex-wife, Cynthia Scurtis, filed for divorce in July 2008, citing "emotional abandonment" of her and their children in addition to "extramarital affairs and other marital misconduct." The documents were filed several days after the New York Yankees star was linked to Madonna in various media outlets and Scurtis' subsequent trip to visit Lenny Kravitz in his Paris home (she denied anything "improper" happened). Prior to the couple's separation, Rodriguez had been linked to several strippers, playboy models, and prostitutes. In the divorce petition, Scurtis demanded the couple's $12 million Florida estate and an equitable distribution of all assets acquired during their marriage, in addition to alimony and child support. Rodriguez countered that he would only give her what was mandated in their prenuptial agreement. They privately settled their multi-million dollar split in September 2008.
Three days after former MLB pitcher Chuck Finley's ex-wife, Tawny Kitaen, was arrested for attacking him with a stiletto heel, Finley filed for divorce. In the petition and restraining order filed in April 2002, Finley claimed his wife was a suicidal and abusive drug user who poses a danger to their two children. The couple's nanny also filed a declaration, in which she testified that one of the kids frequently asked her, "Is mommy whacked out today?" One month later (and after a stint in rehab for prescription drug addiction), Kitaen fired back with allegations of her own, contending that Finley was a binge drinker, marijuana smoker and illegal steroid user. Since the split, Kitaen has had numerous run-ins with the law, including arrests for drug possession and driving under the influence.
Golfer Greg Norman divorced Laura Andrassy, his wife of 25 years, in May 2006. Though he denied it at the time, Norman was having an affair with then-married tennis player Chris Evert, whom he married merely weeks after their respective divorces were finalized. During the messy divorce proceedings, Andrassy's lawyers accused Norman of cutting off her credit cards and leaving her without income. She eventually received a reported $103 million in the settlement. When Norman's quickie marriage to Evert fell apart 15 months after their nuptials, Andrassy commented, "He made his bed."

great for bigger busted gals
By M loves to shop
from ottawa
Had to write another review after reading the other comments.I am large busted- 43"-- medium everywhere else.On me, this jacket looks amazing and I've worn it a LOT. Because of the bigger bust, it falls beautifully, and actually makes the rest of my body look smaller. I bought the Large.I disagree that the faux fur looks bad. I own many of the faux AND real fur coats, so I feel I can give an honest opinion. I don't know how this one would sit on a smaller busted, more petite gal. I am 5'6", size medium except for the bust, and on me this jacket looks great-- many many compliments, but the bottom line is that I feel great wearing it. I hope this will be of some help to somebody out there!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

lovely and versatile
This is one of those pieces where you don't realize how much use it will have until you get it home. I wore this a lot before it got very cold out.I found it very handy to throw on quickly on my way out the door, and I always felt elegant and polished. Got the black and totally love it.

So disappointed
By MAXINE
from VANCOUVER
I just LOVE Adrienne's line and have a vest and two coats - just SO soft - love them. Decided to get in on these jackets (bought black & brown, couldn't decide) They were selling out fast and I'm always an XS in Adrienne's line. I realize different styles fit differently and these were too small. But not only that (I know they were so inexpensive on sale) they felt like faux furs from many years ago - not soft, just bad. Will be going back.

Love Adrienne Landau, Just not this coat
By Jean
from Alberta
I bought this faux fur on saleVery disappointed... I love all of Adrienne Landau's Faux Coats, I own several of her styles and love them all! So cozy and warm.This jacket I won't see myself staying warm in winter..the arms are to short and to much skin will show in the blistering cold (unless I had very long gloves) but then it would look silly, and the jacket would be way to hot to wear in only fall...I could only get a few good times out of wearing this, even yet I do not like the style of it at all, It looks silly on me.it flares out at the bottom making my body look funny (I am a petite) It looks more so like a cape . The only way to hold the coat together is by a button by your neck (like a cape) and has no clasps to completely do up the jacket .I did not realize you can't do-up the coat when purchasing. Again would not keep you warm in winter...the cold breeze will blow everything wide open unless holding it together with your arms.Im disappointed in the money I did spend on this jacket, I lost the return slip or else it would be sent right back!Either way i wont be keeping this or wearing itIm going to try to sell it to a family or friend.

Comcast SportsNet and the Chicago Bears will debut a brand new documentary series this month that takes a look back at some of the most memorable games in Bears history.
Premiering Wednesday, Nov. 27 at 9:30 PM exclusively on Comcast SportsNet, Bears Classics presented by Honda, is a new, one-hour series that chronicles season-defining games from select eras in Bears history as fans will hear behind-the-scenes stories from the players who played in these games and from those who covered them that have never been heard before…until now.
The debut airing will go back in time to Monday night, Oct. 16, 2006 when the Bears faced the Arizona Cardinals…a game featuring a remarkable comeback that set them on the path to an appearance in Super Bowl XLI. The four-episode series (new airings focusing on separate games to debut in December, January and next September) will be narrated by local/national television broadcasting legend/multiple Peabody & Emmy Award winner Bill Kurtis. Comcast SportsNet's Chuck Garfien is the documentary series writer/director and Willie Parker is the series producer.
"We couldn't be prouder of our expanding partnership with the Chicago Bears and we feel this brand new documentary series will be exciting 'appointment television' events that both old and new Bears fans will truly appreciate," said Phil Bedella, VP/GM of Comcast SportsNet Chicago.
The first episode of Bears Classics (entitled "Night of the Ridiculous") will take viewers back to that memorable "Monday Night Football" game in October of 2006. The Bears were off to a 5-0 start that season, but endured some early season struggles offensively. These struggles were exposed to a prime time MNF audience watching the Cardinals take advantage of those problems by taking a 20-0 lead into the half. However, thanks to some highly-motivational halftime speeches in the locker room, the Bears defensive and special teams units were the ones who came up big as they combined for an unforgettable second-half performance, highlighted by Brian Urlacher's 25-tackle showcase, a forced fumble that led to a score, and Bears rookie Devin Hester's stunning 82-yard punt return TD that propelled the Bears to a 24-23 victory. This unexpected Bears victory also struck a nerve with Cardinals Head Coach Dennis Green, as his "They are who we thought they were!" post-game press conference rant added to the lore of this remarkable moment in Bears history.
There are also numerous players/media/execs interviewed in this first episode of Bears Classics, including candid and honest discussion from the following individuals:
- · Brian Urlacher (former Bears linebacker)
- · Devin Hester (Punt/Kick returner)
- · Lance Briggs (Bears linebacker)
- · Charles "Peanut" Tillman (Bears cornerback)
- · Rex Grossman (former Bears quarterback)
- · Muhsin Muhammad (former Bears wide receiver)
- · Olin Kreutz (former Bears center)
- · Kurt Warner (former Cardinals quarterback)
- · Scott Player (former Cardinals punter)
- · George McCaskey (Bears Chairman)
- · Jeff Joniak (Bears radio play-by-play announcer)
- · John "Moon" Mullin (CSNChicago.com Bears "Insider")
- · Rick Telander (Sun-Times sportswriter)
- · Peter King (Sports Illustrated sportswriter)
Please note the following quotes from Comcast SportsNet's premiere airing of Bears Classics, debuting Wednesday, Nov. 27 at 9:30 PM CT:
BRIAN URLACHER on center Olin Kreutz addressing the team at halftime: "I remember halftime. Olin Kreutz stood up and we were like 'what's going on here?' Olin said 'we're gonna win this f-in' game'…then he was yelling 'WE'RE GONNA WIN THIS F-in' GAME!"
MUHSIN MUHAMMAD on Rex Grossman's nightmarish performance: "He had six turnovers in that game…four interceptions, a couple of fumbles, and anytime you get to a quarterback early and you can hit him, the quarterback's going to struggle."
REX GROSSMAN on the offensive unit's adversities in that game: "Everything was a struggle, they were all over us and their offense was starting hot…and I just remember the (Urlacher) sack-fumble getting everybody pumped up."
CHARLES "PEANUT" TILLMAN on Urlacher's 25-tackle performance: "Brian Urlacher turned into…he was just a beast the rest of the game. And to be on the field and witness it up close and personal, I mean it was probably one of the greatest performances I've ever seen."
OLIN KREUTZ on Urlacher's 25-tackle performance: "That was the greatest performance I have ever seen on a football field. I mean it was unbelievable. He took over the whole game almost single-handedly."
BRIAN URLACHER on his 25-tackle performance: "I didn't feel like I was getting blocked, and if you watch the film, I didn't get blocked a lot. There were times when they had guys on me, but I didn't feel like I was getting blocked a whole lot in the second half."
DEVIN HESTER on the punt return TD that completed the Bears' comeback: "I felt a little knick on my leg that I was able to avoid to stay up, and after that, the rest was history. Before I even crossed the goal line, the last five yards were like 'please don't get caught!"
RICK TELANDER on Hester's punt return TD: "As an observer, you couldn't help but think 'punt it to him. Please god, please punt the ball to him. Get it in his hands. You idiots! You morons!"
SCOTT PLAYER on punting the ball that led to Hester's game-winning TD: "You hope that those ten other guys can cover the punt, which they should be able to do if they're in the National Football League."
OLIN KREUTZ on Cardinals Head Coach Dennis Green's infamous post-game rant: "I think that's what made that game legendary was just his comments after the game…I mean he went crazy."
LANCE BRIGGS on Green's post-game rant: "It's a moment I think will outlive everyone. Years from now, we'll look back and say moments in sports history, and you'll see Denny Green. And not only will you see what he said, but they'll show that game."
Comcast SportsNet will also re-air this episode of Bears Classics on Saturday, Dec. 7 at 9:00 PM and on Wednesday, Dec. 11 at 11:00 PM. Details regarding December's premiere episode of Bears Classics will be announced in the coming weeks.
In addition, fans can also get interactive prior and during every airing of Bears Classics with their thoughts, memories and comments by utilizing the Twitter hashtag #BearsClassics. Plus, CSNChicago.com will provide additional, online exclusive interviews and commentary write-ups from a variety of Comcast SportsNet on-air talent members and from CSNChicago.com's Bears "Insider" John 'Moon' Mullin.
As part of its programming partnership with the Chicago Bears, Comcast SportsNet also produces "Bears Pregame Live" and the live stream of "Bears Halftime Live," along with "United Bears Recap," "Bears Blitz" and "Bears Huddle."

Am trying to use database query to print query output to CSV but can't get the output on to separate lines. How to do so?
Here's the code:
use warnings;
use DBI;
use strict;
use Text::CSV;
#set up file
my $csv = Text::CSV->new ( { binary => 1 } ) # should set binary attribute.
or die "Cannot use CSV: ".Text::CSV->error_diag ();
open my $fh, ">:encoding(utf8)", "new.csv" or die "new.csv: $!";
#set up query
my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:db", "name") or die ("Error: $DBI::errstr");
my $sql = qq(select * from one_table join two_table using (primary_key));
my $query = $dbh->prepare($sql);
#loop through returned rows of query and save each row as an array
while ( my (@row ) = $query->fetchrow_array ) {
#print each row to the csv file
$csv->print ($fh, [@row]);
# every line seems to be appended to same line in "new.csv"
# tried adding "\n" to no avail
close $fh or die "new.csv: $!";
This must be a common use case but couldn't find anything about issues with new lines.

Unbranding the Cigarette
Australia was the first county to standardize branding of all cigarettes, in an attempt to reduce smoking among children, who will be next?
In December 2012, the country introduced the tough packaging laws, which banned branding and required graphic health warnings to cover 75% of the package.
The Australian study found that 30.6 % of smokers using plain packaging said that their cigarettes were of lower quality than a year earlier. And thats just changing the brand packaging.

Good quality food ,nice aptmosphere to dine in .take away - small sizes and relatively expensive for thai .
If you don't mind that ,it is worth a visit for the yum food
We come here fairly often and always enjoy our meals. Very tasty food, friendly staff and cosy atmosphere. Would be happy to bring family and friends here.
Great flavours with an element of difference from most Thai restaurants. It seems more regional perhaps, and the menu is a little more interesting than average. Prices are good, flavours also are good. A definite recommend.
food great , everything very fresh.& cooked to perfection..... wait staff friendly & very helpful, good value for money
We simply can not believe we have never heard of this place till now. We are mad lovers of Thai food, and this place was absolutely fabulous! The food is perfect - fresh, flavoursome, authentic and so delicious we would have found it very easy to over-indulge. Lovely waitresses, food was quick, and the portions were generous. We will be...
This was surprising, I was not expecting much when coming into the restaurant, as I had never heard of it before. However, I was pleasantly surprised the décor was gorgeous and the atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing.
We had won tons for entrée and they were one of the most delicious things I have ever tasted! I have never tried...
We were there today (9/11/12) for lunch, and the food was really hard to better. Entree of curry puffs and spring rolls were crisp and flavoursome without any hint of oiliness, and the mains were nearly perfect. My wife likes the food without heat at all, and I love it when my nose runs and the perspiration tingles my scalp...
This was one of our favourite Thai haunts in Geelong, but our last two visits were disappointing. Served by amateur scruffy waiters, no water, only 3 glasses on the table (for 4), we were asked to keep our entree cutlery for the main course because they had run out (not busy!) and had to ask several times for our wine...
I was not expecting much from a restaurant hidden behind a suburban stripmall. But was very pleasantly surprised. We shared a number of dishes. The massaman curry was intense rich and succulent. The pad grapow fresh, light and delectable. The prawn green curry was also delicious. Moderately priced. Pleasant and engaging service. Well worth a visit.
We went here with friends, the food was good, but the service was quite slow considering there weren't many people in the restaurant, unfortunately curry puffs were off the menu (again) and felt very uncomfortable having to go out into a not very well lit laneway to use the ladies! This is a very small restaurant, but think maybe there...

3 stars (out of four)
"Factotum," starring Matt Dillon and Lili Taylor in two of their best film performances, is a good movie about the L.A. underbelly, as recalled by an expert: Charles Bukowski. Adapted and directed by Norwegian filmmaker Bent Hamer from Bukowski's 1975 novel "Factotum" and several of his short stories, the movie spins a yarn that, like most of the author's prolific output, is semi-autobiographical--unvarnished and unprettified.
Bukowski, who died in 1994, was a rough, razor-sharp chronicler of the bum's life, a poet of cheap booze and sex and a master of the pared-down literary style that had its seed in Ernest Hemingway and John Fante ("Ask the Dust"). Bukowski's stories were like peepholes and his sentences were like bludgeons. He may have been the least gentlemanly of famous American authors.
The title "Factotum," as defined onscreen, refers to "a man who performs many jobs." And that's what we see Bukowski's literary alter ego Henry ("Hank") Chinaski doing here: floating from job to job, binge to binge. Hank's jack-of-all-trades status springs less from versatility than laziness and a don't-give-a-damn attitude. He has little interest in his many jobs--which he fouls up and loses with regularity, preferring the pleasures of booze, sex and literature to the chains of the workaday world.
"Hank" was Bukowski's real-life nickname. And "Factotum" shows Bukowski and his world--that seedy, drunk-in-the-daylight L.A. milieu he lived so fully and shows so well--with a conviction that Barbet Schroeder's 1987 "Barfly" and other Bukowski movies all, to some degree, lack. Hamer made the haunting "Kitchen Stories" (2003), a fact-based tale of rural alienation that was both convincing and bizarre. He sinks us in this American milieu with the same effectiveness.The movie's cast is headed by Dillon as Hank and Taylor as Jan, Hank's lover. Along with Hamer, they seem perfectly matched to the material--and it's material that some actors might not have wanted to touch. Watching Dillon and Taylor play this seedy pair, an egotistical boozer-writer who can't keep a job and a floozy who can't get enough of him, you want to applaud them both for their acting skills and their lack of the usual actor's vanity.
Dillon's surly good looks fit this character well. When he blows up at a job supervisor or fellow souse, he makes his scenes cutting and real. So does Taylor in her scenes as Jan, a drunk's dream-woman. She avoids all sentimentality and obvious sympathy-grabbing, but she moved me anyway.
The story is simple. Hank screws up at work, makes bets at the track and has sex and fights with Jan and a few other women--including Marisa Tomei as Laura, the doxy of a rich Frenchman named Pierre (Didier Flamand). All the while, he nourishes his dream of being a writer, sending off stories to the Black Sparrow Press, Bukowski's eventual publishers. The outline is reminiscent of Robert Towne's beautiful film of "Ask the Dust" by Fante (Bukowski's literary idol), but without the lyricism or poetry.
Hamer is one of those understated, keen-eyed moviemakers with a taste for life's fringes, meanness and absurdity, who often flourish in Germany or Scandinavia. Here, working with producer/co-writer Jim Stark, an old associate of Jim Jarmusch's on "Stranger than Paradise" and other films, Hamer illuminates Bukowski's dark, sleazy little corner. He makes us feel with Hank and, surprisingly, at times, feel for him.
Directed by Bent Hamer; written by Hamer, Jim Stark; photographed by John Christian Rosenlund; edited by Pal Gengenbach; production designed by Eve Cauley Turner; music by Kristin Asbjornsen; produced by Stark, Hamer. An IFC Films release; opens Friday at Landmark's Century Centre Cinema. Running time: 1:34. MPAA RATING: R (for language and sexual content).
Hank Chinaski - Matt Dillon
Jan - Lili Taylor
Laura - Marisa Tomei
Manny - Fisher Stevens

1988 Ford F-250 • 300 miles
I have a Ford F250 pickup 4x4 which we use to go between our biological field station and town here in Bocas del Toro, Panama. The vehicle starts fine when cold, but will suddenly die while driving to town, and then will not start again until 24 hrs has passed. Each time, I was about half way between town and the station, or about five miles out. It doesn't hesitate or die slowly (like running out of gas), it just dies all at once as though someone turned off the switch. I have had the carburetor, fuel line, filter cleaned and the wires checked but the problem persists. What could cause this? The vehicle has over 300k miles on it but otherwise was running fine.

But let's never forget, the original Americans i.e. Whitey aka The Founding Fathers were just fleeing Europeans who murdered THOUSANDS of Native Indians (men, women and children) for filthy PROFIT. :) Basically, no one expects The Spanish Inquisition ... and I know UK has a shit record re: witch trials [i]et al[/i]. [/quote]
Original Message
I am so sick and tired of this shit, where do I even fucking begin. So let me get this straight, a Hispanic guy kills a punk black kid in self defense, and somehow whitey is to blame?
I'll tell you what. I see a lot on Facebook, all this ranting about what if the tables were turned and all this bullshit, and that begs the question to be asked. Because 90% of the time, the tables are turned and nobody gives a shit.
Anyone ever heard of the Newsom Murders?
link to en.wikipedia.org
Where was the big outcry over that one? They fucking beat, steal from and kill our people every day, and they are angry because one fat spanish guy stood up and fucking did something about it?
Trayvon Martin was a fucking punk. You know this kid. He's that same little piece of shit that blocks off the stairs at the movie theater and yells a bunch of shit in front of the 7-11. That same little cocksucker that fucks with the white kids at school, and prevents the rest of the class from learning. They act like he was some kind of A student.
As for profiling, the question begs to be asked. Why are they profiled? Is there any reason people might seem to think he might be up to no good? Perhaps it's due to the disproportionate amount of crime they commit? Perhaps its because their entire shitty subculture is based around the glorification of violence and lack of responsibility?
So lets talk more about that subculture. This is the same subculture that encourages dependence and freeloading, that ridicules achievement. The same culture that calls their own people assholes for trying to get an education.
Constantly crying about this and that and how they are wronged. We have a fucking black President. A black attorney general. Black supreme court justices. Most of our top athletes are black. Most of our top musicians are black. Neil DeGrasse Tyson, one of our top astrophysicists, is black. That's a fucking shit ton of representation for 10-14% of the population. They say they are being kept down by whitey? Is that so? Doesn't seem to be the case as far as I'm concerned.
What more do these fucking people want from us?
I live in a blue state. A hard blue state. In the liberal Northeast. And believe me when I tell you, I know a lot of white people who are tired of this shit. I can't even imagine how middle america feels. It is never upfront, but behind closed doors, white people can't fucking stand them.
Mark my words, if they continue with this shit, they will have a problem on their hands. All this shit you hear about white people supporting this and the whole liberal thing, its a very small part of the population. It's basically hipster/hippie/fruitcake/elitist characters who live in carefully constructed electoral districts, and thats how they are able to sway opinion and political representation.
Realistically, the silent majority is huge. And they are starting to get annoyed. They will talk to you at the grocery store and agree with you to placate you, but behind closed doors, in familiar company, they are all thinking the same thing. This country has gone to shit. And if liberals and minorities want to start shit up with the sleeping bear, good fucking luck. Majority white america is smart as fuck, crafty as fuck, resource rich and armed to the fucking teeth.
I don't know why this charade has been allowed to continue, but if this is any glimpse of the future, you WILL see a real deal purge in your lifetime. We are good people, we are sick of being called assholes and stupid and racist, and pretty soon, we are going to stop being so polite and we aren't going to take it anymore. The only reason it hasn't happened sooner is because we are still comfortable. The second the majority feels the discomfort and wakes up to what the fuck is going on here, its going to be something to see.
rant fucking over.

Here's a Google pic of Renishaw Hall to give an idea. Looks lovely.
Oh no, Mrs. G, what a shame. I would have loved to have seen them. Sorry I'm not techy.
Thank you Yviestevie. We didn't get to go there when we were in Shropshire, just a bit too far away.
If I lived in England I would love to come. Green with envy! Also that's the day of my grandson's baptism.
Have you watered them enough? Pots can dry out quite quickly in warm summer weather.
I never have time to start when the summer comes! Either it's too hot, or there's a thunderstorm or we have friends and family to stay or we are going to England to see friends and family.
Philadelphus is pruned just after flowering. It will flower next year on the wood it made this year so it should be done before late summer or you will lose flowers next year. You prune off the top third and when the shrub is older you cut out some of the main stems to stop it getting congested and to encourage new ones.
What sort are they? Some of the outside ones don't grow very long. But don't let them get too fat or the pips go hard.
My roses are just about finished for the moment. The odd flower here and there, but some new shoots are growing and some new buds are forming. Have fed them.
We'll be not far from Ripon, Mrs. G.
My daughter, OH and her 2 children, & her friend with her 2 children are staying. Plus one son and his OH and baby stayed last night and then other daughter, 3 small sons & OH arrives on Friday. But Saturday we are off to Yorkshire to see friend and Uncle. Daughter staying here on holiday.
But bad news this morning, daughter who is here had her house in North of France burgled, neighbour rang Police and they just took her jewel box, full of sentimental things of not much value. She's very upset. They'd bought an expensive new burglar proof front door, they broke it.

What proxy are you using with NDLP? I am sure that most can recognize that the modified page comes back with a status 200, as opposed to the normal 204. I have written rules for McAfee's MEG that detects the difference and returns the cusom block page. I don't have rules handy at the moment, can get them next week some time. But modifying the page as elisowash notes also works.

Photos of Lindsay Lohan and Alessandra Ambrosio in NYC
Lindsay Is Back in the States, But Still Working in Paris
Lindsay Lohan joined Alessandra Ambrosio for the launch of the newest fragrance for Victoria's Secret in NYC yesterday before heading out shopping. Lindsay hit the racks, including a stop off at Chanel — perhaps to spend some of that hard-earned artistic adviser paycheck. LL made quite the splash her first time out for Ungaro at Paris Fashion Week, but it didn't turn out exactly how she expected. According to Lindsay she's still learning and blames lack of time on some of the missteps and was just as surprised as the critics to see sequined pasties on the runway models. Never one to slow down though, Lindsay is already getting back to work on the Ungaro collection for their next show in January.

Only 9 baskets... 18 pads, some are difficult to find. The layout promotes walking... saying the tees are pretty far from the baskets. Lots of trees and some really challenging shots. Once you get the layout it is pretty fun. Bathrooms in the middle of the park. Easy parking.

From the story: With a paw on Petalpaw, Leaftail aimed for her throat, getting ready for a killing bite. "B-but I'm your sister!" Petalpaw begged."We have the same blood in us!" "Blood is not important. Loyalty is the most important," Leaftail replied with no sympathy. With a slice on Petalpaw's thoart, Petalpaw went limped. "Leaftail!" Blossompaw shouted as she ran towards Leafpaw. "You had just killed our own sister!" "No, she is not my sister," Leaftail mewed. "She had disowned me. And I had disowned her". Description: "WITH THE POOL OF WOOD AND THE BLOOMING BLOSSOM, YOU AND THREE OTHER CATS FROM WATERCLAN WILL FIND THUNDER, WIND, SHADOW AND RIVER." Six cats from Plantclan and Waterclan found out that there are still four other clans. Thus, the two clan began their journey to find the clans. They would meet with danger, but would they survive? This is a story of loyalty, trust, and betrayal. ***WATTY AWARDS PLEASE VOTE!!!***

Lisa's energetic explanation of the DISC temperaments and Wendy's moving personal testimony made our conference a life-changing event for those who attended. The feedback we have received is overwhelming! Ladies are using their new found knowledge of their temperaments to better understand how to best function within their families and circle of friends. With Wendy's powerful testimony, we have had ladies lay down strongholds that have held them captive for years! With this new found freedom, these ladies are walking in the powerful light of knowing they are blood-bought baby girls of the one true God! Thank you, Proverbs 31, for sharing such amazing speakers with she Ministries at Calvary Albuquerque.

I can't express how blessed I have been through Wendy's Living So That message. Through it I found my way back to God. I got her book, and unlike other books that I finish and put on the shelf, to get dusty or give away, this one will remain close so that I can go back and read all of my notes, pages and words that gave me a way to bring Jesus back into my life. Her powerful stories and Scriptures have made a huge difference in my life.
Bible Study Attendee
I know in the depths of my heart that Wendy's story was handpicked by God for me. I don't even know how to put it into words. Every time I look back where I was, how I was horribly stuck in letting pain, hurt and fear rule my heart, how I was stuck being angry at God…I will always remember how her words, her story, her courage and her strength touched my heart and broke through all the strongholds that had taken over. And the way she pointed me to God's Word as the key – well that gave my journey a starting point. A journey that I desperately needed to embark upon. Wendy's testimony and her heart allowed me to get up off my mat and approach God to begin healing. And when I'm tempted to get back on my mat, which seems like the easier thing to do some days, her words inspire me not to. I have made spending time with God a priority because of her.
Women's Conference Attendee
So much of what Wendy shared has stuck with me, and I have already started to transform my life. She taught us that seeking God's will is an active pursuit. After hearing her message, I am seriously considering giving up a major responsibility because I don't feel like it is what I'm being called to do. I hadn't been seeking God's will in the situation. Wendy taught us how to find God's will through His Word. When she did that, she expressed the enormous freedom she found in it so passionately that it made me want to grasp some of the freedom and joy she found in responding to God's call of something larger than herself…even when that call took her from a comfortable place to an uncomfortable place.
Women's Training Event Attendee
Wendy allowed our moms to read and process God's Word for themselves, some for the first time. They understood time with God is not a task to check off but an opportunity to sit and allow God to wash them with His powerful Word and work in their lives wherever they are. She is real and did not pretend to be perfect. It was refreshing and encouraging for our women because she made what she has in Christ seem real and attainable. Her honesty, vulnerability, and tenderness as she shared stories from her past and as a mother, allowed the women to translate it to their lives. She is a woman after God's heart, and I am thankful that she blessed us with her words, time, and beauty.

By the end of the week, on the eve of my shopping day, I take all the vegetables out of my refrigretator, chop them up, add garlic and onions, a few herbs and spices, stick them all in an oven pan sprinkled with i teaspon of olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and bake them for 20-30 min, and voila! Yum
Try cooking vegetables in a light stock instead of plain water: it makes them so much tastier.
have to find some good tasty recipes that are fast and easy then you don't even miss meat
I wanted something different for a quick dinner for one this week. I always keep cooked boneless chicken breasts in the freezer. So I chopped one,put it on a small wrap (I used a whole wheat tortilla wrap - about 60 calories) with about a quarter cup of part skim mozzarella cheese (less works too -- it's really to your taste) and a couple of tablespoons of tomato sauce. I toasted it in the toaster oven til the cheese melted. It was delicious.

As always, Roseann's home was a peaceful, welcome retreat. My husband and I were in Eugene for our son's college graduation, and we're very grateful for the relaxing, serene ambiance of the Friendly Alley cottage. Roseann was a gracious and flexible host.
Rosann was a perfect hostess! Gave us great tips on where to go in Eugene. The house is adorable, had a cute cottage feel to it. Would definitely go back again!
We had a wonderful stay at Roseann's lovely place. The pictures don't do it the justice it deserves. The space was warm and inviting with many interesting, artistic touches. The backyard and patio were exceptional. The neighborhood is quiet with only the occasional chicken cluck/dog bark ;-) Highly recommend!
Love, love, love this little house! A perfect retreat for our weekend visit. Warm, tasteful... we would love to come again. Thank you for everything!
Thanks for letting me know Scotia - my friend just told me this too....but I haven't found it slow. So now that I have too complaints, I will most definitely check it out right away!! Glad you had a good time!
Roseann and her place were great. We had booked our reservation months in advance and Roseann was great at keeping in touch and providing information about her place. The place was lovely and clean with a beautiful patio and backyard. The cottage is located in a quiet family neighborhood with great amenities (a small neighborhood grocery store, a large Market of Choice, yummy casual restaurants, a small neighborhood park a few blocks away, and a great big park just a mile away.) I would highly recommend Roseann and her place!
Roseann's cottage was delightful. It's in a somewhat surprising location-- literally down an "alley"-- but as we discovered, "alleys" in Eugene are not your big-city alley! It was a lush green "alley" tucked away off of the main street, making for a very country/woodsy/hidden getaway feeliing-- almost like a beautifully designed treehouse for grownups! The photos do not do it justice-- it was bigger than we expected. Its warm wood floors and cozy furnishings created a true home away from home feeling. It's so quiet in the evening-- we slept soundly and loved the skylights in the morning. It was impeccably clean and well cared for and Roseann leaves a detailed letter of instructions and information. We were only 5 minutes from campus and it's a great neighborhood for a morning run. It made our first Airbnb experience a very positive one!
Staying at Roseann's place was lovely -- an airy and comfortable cottage with lots of room for my partner and I who were both writing and reading all week -- there is an upstairs bedroom loft and a nice sized living room kitchen with tall ceiling and skylights, so even in the rain we felt like we were not sad to be inside. We could hear the rain on the roof and I felt like I was at a real retreat! When its not raining, there is a beautiful patio and there was a hot tub, though we unfortunately could not use it. In the Friendly street neighborhood, within walking distance to a cute tea shop, natural grocery store, juice truck, surrounded by trees (though we used car to go to further away place in Eugene). Clean and well appointed space, fully stocked kitchen. Very nice touches like travel sized toiletries and luxury towels. Roseann was great host, we didn't meet her but she was easy to communicate with and arriving to/leaving the cottage was very easy. We'll absolutely recommend her place to family or friends staying in Eugene.
I was in Eugene to move furniture into my son's apartment. I was fortunate enough to find Rosann's listing and it looked like just the right antidote to busy days with college students. I couldn't have been more right! Rosann was prompt in all communications, which made the transaction go very smoothly. Upon arrival, there was a nice note with directions to various local markets and their specialties, as well as some local activities. Rosann's home is lovely, with a peaceful, Zen-like quality; a comfortable bed, a small deck off the bedroom for taking in the garden or doing yoga, and all that one or two people need in a kitchen and living space. The garden includes a fire pit, table and chairs, a large patio, and a very welcome hot soaking tub. Additionally, there was a dock for my iPod and a bicycle and helmet, should I have had time to use it. My son and I were able to watch the Ducks game at Rosann's and he was a bit regretful that he had to leave to go back to his place. He, too, thought it was a wonderful place to stay (he particularly liked the beautiful wood in the spiral staircase to the bedroom and the openness of the living space). I highly recommend this space for anyone looking for a pleasant, quiet place to relax and rejuvenate. I know I will be back again!
Roseann's home was incredible and bigger than the pictures do justice. Truly a magical place to stay and we wished we could have been there longer. There is a beautiful courtyard with the hot tub and the whole house is so bright. I felt like I was in a tree house sleeping upstairs with the doors open. The bed is a extremely firm which my husband loves. There was a ton of stuff in the kitchen making breakfast easy and complimentary coffee out for us. We walked to the best market only a few blocks away. Roseann was an amazing host as she was communicative and flexible as we cut our trip a tad short. Any one would be super lucky to stay at Roseann's when in Eugene!
Reviews From Hosts
I totally enjoyed hosting Roseann. She's really an interesting person and I hope she'll stay here again on her future trips to Seattle.
Thanks so much Stephanie - would love to stay at your place when I have more leisure time! It's really lovely!
Roseann was a very nice guest. It was a last minute request and we had some calendar conflicts but through diligence got it figured out and she was able to have a nice stop over in portland. Plus, she left me a couple sweet gifts. Thanks, roseann!
Roseann stayed for two nights. She was so quiet the only way I knew she was here was by the glowing light in the windows. One night a delicious cooking aroma from the Serene Studio filled the house. She was respectful of the space and cleaned up after herself very nicely. I hope she comes again and stays longer next time!
I would welcome Roseann and her friends back any time.
great family , we enjoyed their company they had 2 great kids that respected the property and were great to be around , hopefully we will see you guys soon !! thank you
I did not get a chance to meet Roseann as she did arrive a bit later, but her friend Barbara and her husband were great. Very loving people, responsible and reliable, and very respectful to our place. We would host them again gladly!
I'm glad that Roseann stayed at the Loft. She's a nice person and gives a good review. If your a host looking for a guest I would recommend Roseann.

Sanders warns about 'chained' Consumer Price IndexJanuary 31,2013By EDWARD DONGA
WASHINGTON — Sen. Bernard Sanders on Thursday spoke out against a plan aimed at reducing the federal deficit by changing the manner in which Social Security benefits are calculated.
Sanders, an independent and founder of the Senate's Defend Social Security Caucus, was joined at a Capitol Hill news conference by Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., and Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., as well as AFL-CIO President
Richard Trumka and representatives of advocacy groups for senior citizens, women, veterans and those with disabilities..
The news conference targeted a proposal to alter how the federal Consumer Price Index is calculated. The CPI is a measurement of the average change in cost of household items, and it is used to help create cost-of-living estimates that govern benefit increases for programs such as Social Security.
But Sanders noted that some members of Congress, in an effort to reduce the federal deficit, want to adopt what has become known as a chained CPI. According to published reports, this plan was pushed, but ultimately dropped, by some Republicans during discussions last month on ways to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff.
Declared Sanders, "My Republican colleagues in Congress and some Democrats are attempting to use the deficit crisis as an excuse to cut Social Security benefits. That is wrong."
He added: "Deficit reduction is important, but it must be done in a way that is fair. We must not balance the budget on the backs of the elderly, on the backs of veterans."
Rather than simply adjusting the cost of living based on changes in the price of basic goods, as is done currently, a chained CPI would factor in the assumption that, as the price of one good increases, consumers will purchase a similar, less expensive commodity instead.
For instance, when the price of apples goes up, the current CPI accounts for the change only in the price of apples; a chained CPI would factor in an assumption that many consumers would buy oranges instead of apples if the former were less expensive.
But Sanders warned that if the government begins basing its calculations on a chained CPI, senior citizens would see a significant cut in their Social Security benefits. Veterans with disability benefits would face the same problem, said Sanders, who is chairman of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee.
"The chained CPI for seniors who are 65 today, by the time they are 75 years of age they would lose $650 a year (in benefits)," Sander said, noting that Thursday marked the 73rd anniversary of Ida May Fuller, of Ludlow, receiving the first Social Security check ever issued.
Nancy LeaMond, executive vice president of AARP, echoed Sanders' statement.
"It has been put forward as a relatively easy, relatively harmless solution to reduce the deficit," LeaMond said of the chained CPI proposal. "However, this policy would have very negative effects on millions of seniors, retirees, working families, women, veterans and the seniors."
Sanders said 3.2 million disabled veterans in the United States would also see their benefits affected, contending that veterans who started collecting disability benefits at age 30 would see a $1,400 decrease in those benefits by age 45.
"This is unacceptable, and if you support a chained CPI you support breaking your promise that this country made to every single one of those veterans," declared Tom Tarantino, policy chief for the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.MORE IN This Just In
