Congress Works To Avoid Shutdown
March 7, 2013
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans forwarded legislation through the House on Wednesday to ease the short-term impact of $85 billion in spending cuts and prevent a government shutdown this month — at the......
How does 1 penney from each DOLLAR cause a government shutdown?
We are watching a bunch of spending (CR*ACK) Addicts voting on their addiction.
As Benjamin Franklin said, "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb discussing what is for dinner!"
US Taxpayer is on the menu every night, umm umm ummmmmmhhhh!

Concerning Rand Paul and drones used on violent Americans...
Is it not interesting that the party who has separated America, who has voiced opposition paramount to treason, who advocates war, violence, and prejudice, who adamantly believes in the right for any citizen to own assault weapons, who have threatened violent revolution, who tout "lock & load".....would be the ones opposing the use of drones....kind of like Bin Laden opposing the global war against terrorism.

Actually I have no problem with Drones. I believe that we have a serious problem not killing enough of our(US)enemies , foreign and domestic and we doint kill enough criminals, foreign and domestic.
A drone would have done quite well in getting Christopher Dorner.

The problem remains that the President has since his first day in office, disdained working within the American government system. The demonizing of Congress is part of that process and is an alibi for a POTUS using 1100 Executive Orders (more than all previous Presidents combined). The cost of government has exceeded our ability to pay for it. NOW, the President wants to have a meeting? Thats what leadership is, communicating. Only dictators refuse to compromise or even listen. There is a reason that the GOP controls the House. The people put them in office. So many Obama supporters feel that Obama should crush dissent by force, but the American system allows people to have a direct voice via the Congress, and we can change the Reps every two years. Obama had a total Dem Congress when took office, for two entire years, and was unable to work with even a Dem Congress. It cannot go on this way.

@acoustic. So, are we to assume you condone the killing of Americans on American soil without due process?

Thebudman- Appears that something has to be done. Our court system is so broken that all that is done for serious crimes is to turn them loose or feed them for the rest of their lives at taxpayer expense.

Have you noticed? obie keeps saying this has to be fixed, but keeps coming up with proposals he knows will not work. But somehow, it's only the GOP that have to act like adults.
I strongly suggest taking his position. Admit they don't have a good idea and ask for his proposals, say "that won't work, so come up with something else". Do it a dozen times.
Unfortunately, once again the spaghetti-spined leadership will cave again. Haven't they figured out no matter what happens, they will be blamed? And the next election is a long way off Better to do it now, rather than next year. It might actually do some good.

Love those mojitos!!
I was sold the second I took a sip of my complimentary mojito prepared by the bartender Rene. I'm from San Antonio, TX and have ordered mojitos at various restaurants in SA, but none compare to those from The Place bar. Rene really knows his craft. The other bartender, Lucas, was super friendly and knows how to make an awesome mojito too. All the staff at the hotel were great - friendly, professional, and full of smiles. I was impressed with the housekeeping staff - we would come back to a super clean room with plenty of clean towels. Two ladies need plenty of clean towels - believe me! The beach is right across the street and was lots of fun. Food at the restaurant was delicious. Just wish the bathroom would have been larger with more counter space. All in all, I would stay here again.
There are not many hotels that stay open for many years. I remember my mom telling me she came in the late 40's to Miami for her honeymoon from Cuba. Yes, at that time you could travel freely. We have lived in Miami since 1966 and would drive to the beach to look at the hotel. Never got tired. We have seen many changes to the Hotel and the area, although never physically staying in the hotel(could not afford it). I get chills knowing that in some ways this hotel is part of our family.
Had a Great Time
The staff was wonderful, helpful.
Comfortable and clean.
The breakfast was fantastic!!
Loved the short walk to the beach for sunrise every morning!
On the 'down' side, rooms are small especially the bathroom which is poorly lit. Also bathroom has semi-frosted see through door which some might find uncomfortable.
Also had to ask for housekeeping to take care of room.
Great Lunch
We didn't stay here, but stopped for lunch as we walked the beach. The service and food were fantastic. You can't beat the atmosphere and of course, "2.4.1" :) Thank You.
We have just returned from a 4 day trip to South Beach. We stayed at The Beacon Hotel - what a treat. The Beacon is a jewel - clean, ultra comfortable and modern. I have never come across such helpful staff - always with a smile and a suggestion - I would not hesitate to recommend this wonderful hotel to all my clients/family and friends. We will make return trips to South Beach, just to stay at the Beacon again and again. Its a home from home.
Best 7 nights in miami
I every time afraid ocean drive hotels but this one beaconsouthbeach hotel unbeliavale location and their kicthen but much important thing every person who works in hotel very helpfull i m so glad to stay here when ever come back my country in Turkey
told my wife next time we ll be your hotel together you know what is good i never thing ever hotel search in miami my hotel is already chosen
Best weekend ever
Best location, amazing staff, and super clean. This place exceeded my expectations by far! The beach chairs and towels were so convenient as well as the free hot breakfast and valet parking that were included in the special we purchased. I have stayed in many hotels over the years and never had a customer service experience as great as this one. The staff not only called us by name every time we walked by but offered us water if we looked hot, gave us free passes to nightclubs and even surprised me with a complimentary bottle of champagne and a birthday card. I thought that by purchasing a Groupon at such a cheap rate we probably wouldn't receive 5 star treatment - not the case! I can't say enough great things about this place. We will definitely be returning to the Beacon Hotel again!
Response: Dear Amy,
Than you so very much for your kind words. We would love to have you stay with us again!
Veronika & Beacon Team
Perfect Beach GetAway
My sister turned 30 on June 15th. In February, we talked about what she wanted to do to celebrate the beginning of her 30s. She asked if I could find flights and a hotel for us to stay in; the goal was to just get a tan on the beach, have dinner together on Ocean Drive, and to enjoy shopping. We have been to South Beach on 4 different occasions. This was the best hotel we have stayed at yet. The beach was the easiest access with towels and chairs provided! We were so excited for those benefits. Having breakfast provided was also wonderful. You never know what you might get with that option, but The Beacon had great omelets, pancakes, and Belgian waffles. We enjoyed having a variety of breakfast options and to be able to eat while people watching on Ocean Drive every morning. We are planning to return to South Beach again for sure in the next two years; this hotel will definitely be at the top of our list for making reservations again.
This is my second stay at the beacon. The staff is very friendly. The free breakfast is amazing! The location is perfect. My only complaints are they don't let you go on the roof top where they have beautiful patio furniture set up and the mirror in the room is on the side of the bed where its dark and its not full length. But besides that I love the beacon.
i really, enjoy my stayed at The Beacon hotel from Saturday 25th May through 28th. The hotel is situated in the heart of the beach and convenient to all the activities. The staffs ( Juliana & co) and the cleaning services personnel are very awesome. i requested a refrigerator from the front desk and within couple minutes, i saw the engineer by my door with it. As such am recommend this hotel to whoever traveling to South Beach
Great Stay
I had a great stay at the Beacon, friendly and helpful staff, did have an issue with one of the valet guys attitude, but it worked itself out, otherwise, clean room, hotel itself, the noise level was great, I would definately recommend to friends and go back for another stay.... Had a great time!
Spend 4 great nights ( and days ) here in April .
Very friendly staff .Great rooms and great service .Is was our first time in Miami Beach and we discovered a great place .
Only Place To Stay
Incredible location. Fantastic staff. Great room with beach towels and beach chairs provided. Free breakfast. Why would anyone stay elsewhere? Juliana is wonderful, Victor is the perfect character for this historic place and even Reynauldo brings a smile to your face. Service is great. No question we will be back!
This is a fantastic place to stay. Great hotel,very very very friendly staff,who are always available to help or give advise. The restaurant is great,the manager "louis" does an outstanding job.
I dont think i will be able to stay in another south beach hotel. Friendly greetings to all.i hope to see you on my next trip.
we absolutely loved the locale of the beacon! we were only staying in south beach for a nite, but the time spent there was well worth every minute of it! juan carlos and gus were awesome! they gave great recomendations on where to eat and where to drink. they accommodated us the next day with a late checkout, beach chairs and towels for the beach, access to the hotel's facilities and a shower in the gym to use while we waited for our late evening flight home. we will definitely be returning on our next trip back!
Our first time in South Beach and the Beacon was a perfect location. The staff was great and had a great time. I highly recommend this hotel for your stay.
Friendly staff
Most outstanding feature is the very friendly staff. They really make you feel like an appreciated guest. Great location right on Ocean Drive, however, a bit noisy at night, but that is the trade off for the location. Can't wait until I return.

Welcome to the University of Texas at Dallas Internal Auditing Education Partnership program! The UT Dallas internal audit program has been endorsed by the Institute of Internal Auditors as a Center for Internal Auditing Excellence, the highest designation of the IIA. UT Dallas is one of only three schools in the United States and six schools worldwide at this level. This endorsement allows the internal audit program to offer valuable internship opportunities, expanded research opportunities, and an advanced curriculum.
The UT Dallas internal audit program is a multidisciplinary program with students from business and non business majors. Students in the program participate in the IIA UT Dallas Student Chapter (IIASC) and have access to numerous career opportunities leading to internal audit and management careers. Internal audit concentrations are available to MBA, MS in Accounting and other graduate degree programs. The UT Dallas internal audit program is available to any UT Dallas graduate student. The IIA Student Chapter is open to all UT Dallas students.
The program receives sponsorship and support from the Dallas IIA Chapter, the North Texas ISACA Chapter and Dallas ACFE Chapter.
The Internal Auditing Education Partnership (IAEP) program leverages current accounting and information management courses to build a strong multidisciplinary program in internal audit. The core required course, ACCT 6380 Internal Audit, should be taken early in the program to allow for internships and to obtain maximum benefit from advanced courses. The core course for the program covers key components of the Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) exam.
Although the program is offered only at the graduate level, students at the end of their undergraduate program may enroll in the core course. Undergraduate students who are not graduating are highly encouraged to join the IIASC prior to enrolling in the core course.
Students must fulfill the following requirements prior to receiving the IAEP certificate, awarded annually by the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA):
A program geared toward information systems auditing could include classes in internal audit, information technology risk management, information technology security, analytical reviews using audit software and an internship. Other coursework could be from such disciplines as accounting, management, engineering, sciences, or finance.
Throughout the program's history, we have developed one of the nation's premier internal audit programs and curriculum through innovation, technology and listening to the business community. The program has grown rapidly with new courses in audit software, advanced auditing, fraud, ethics, and corporate governance. With Sarbanes-Oxley and the expanded role of internal audit, a fresh look at the required skills was warranted. With guidance from the UT Dallas Internal Audit Advisory Board, new material and courses have been added to the program. This program is not just a lot of technical courses on internal audit, but blends classroom learning with experience from those teaching along with students working on internal audits.
Courses in this program are not only for students, but practitioners with varied backgrounds. Many professionals have improved their ability to audit technology with the course in Information Technology Risk Management, which is geared to the non-IT audit individual.
This program offers a lot of flexibility although the most traditional path is an MS in Accounting with an internal audit concentration. However, the program does accept all other Masters degrees.
Students from Arts and Humanities, Engineering and Computer Science, General Studies, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences and Behavioral and Brain Science who have a strong desire to learn internal audit's analytic skills and combine that with expertise from the program they are working on are well-suited for a variety of positions in large organizations. These students have a strong appeal to the business community and can make an immediate contribution to the internal audit groups of large companies, non profits, and government agencies. This program allows the flexibility to meet the individual academic requirements of the students. Students from theses areas should speak with an advisor if they wish to complete the IAEP program.

WHEELING - There is a common belief throughout our state that Class A football is somehow of lesser importance and that the teams and players that inhabit that classification, are somehow of lesser talent. Here's hoping the naysayers were at Wheeling Island Stadium on Saturday night to watch Wahama and Madonna smash each other's facemasks in for more than 48 minutes.
They will always be referred to as 'Small School' because of simple numbers, but what we witnessed in the White Falcons' 43-42, overtime victory in the Class A title game, classifies as big boy football. If with a straight face you can tell me guys like Madonna's Ross Comis, Garrett Hypes and Nick Ossman, as well as Wahama's Zack Wamsley couldn't play on at least the Class AA level, then there's not much I can say.
''I think one thing that I'm noticing in Single-A football, is we're getting better coaching here,'' White Falcons coach Ed Cromley said. ''You get to spend more time with the kids because you don't have 80 or 90 of them to be concerned with.
''When we're getting better coaches in, the kids are getting better coaching and more individual attention.
''That's helping these guys reach the potential they can be.''
As far as Madonna's Doug Taylor is concerned, his club showed it can trade punches with just about anyone.
''I think that was the theme. People talked about how physical Wahama was and how they like to hit.
''We're the same way - we can take it and we can deliver it too.
''We wanted to show we're not a passive team. We can play it however you want to play it.''
One thing is for sure. With Wayne and Martinsburg winning by an average of 28 points, the boys from Class A by far put on the best show of the weekend. Actually, it will go down as one of the all-time Super Six greatest games - regardless of class.
Living up to the 'Hypes'
Comis, Madonna's quarterback-safety star, gets nearly all of the headlines for good reason - he's one of the best players in the state. But Hypes put on a performance for the ages in defeat.
''We're going to miss Garrett Hypes because he's a great football player,'' Taylor said. ''He comes up big for us when we needed him.''
Ross The Boss
There aren't many superlatives that haven't been used in describing Comis this season. All you really need to know about how good the kid is, is this: combining the state semifinal and title games, Madonna scored 10 touchdowns. Comis ran for seven and threw for three.
I had a conversation with a well-respected writer near the end of regulation and we agreed that although it's extremely tough for a Class A player to win it, Comis deserves to at least be in the conversation next preseason when talking about potential Kennedy Award candidates.

I purchased a Nikon v1 because I wanted a lighter gear for when I travel and I operate one-handed due to my disability. My issue with the v1 is the very slow boot up time on power on. My wife can't or do not have the patience for it to come ready she would rather use her cheaper P&S Panasonic Lumix because it "works." I own 3 DSLR and several AF & MF lenses. I really would like to have smaller version of my enthusiast DSLR that is fast, easy to tweak compact camera with great IQ. This is my wish list.
Nikon should focus on fulfilling the needs of the customer while improving their overall sensor cost through volume across segments. This is what the PC industry have done successfully. I understand the cannibalization concern. Customers like myself tend to participate in two or three segments of the markets because of our needs and budget. Technology has always brought new features and benefits from the top then shift them or cycle through the other lower market segments.


text: Hello everyone. I just upgraded to version 4 today on my FC4 box that was running Zimbra 3 perfectly for months. After the upgrade I am getting the Tomcat is not running problem. I have read numerous threads regarding this and nothing has yet fixed my issue. I have chown zimbra:zimbra on redo.log and the redolog directories. I also chown root:zimbra on both of those. I have also chmod 775 those as well. I have rebooted many times after each change and so far Tomcat does not run. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The Nomis Zoey Insulated Pant's one-two punch of synthetic insulation and 10K-rated waterproofing leave you pretty much set from the waist down, and the Zoey's feminine, yet relaxed fit feels good and flatters.
A DWR coating on the fabric repels water to increase protection, and taped critical seams prevent moisture from slipping in through the cracks. Low-profile synthetic insulation adds warmth without tacking on bulk or restricting movement, plus the relaxed fit allows plenty of room to layer underneath on really frigid days. Meanwhile, mesh-lined inseam vents dump heat when it warms up in spring, and boot gaiters prevent snow from getting in your boots when you're stomping through powder or slush.
- 10K-rated fabric with DWR coating

On the fence
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
So I bought these to hopefully interface with either my Nomis Stacey jacket or the Nomis Gleam jacket I have, and I'm not really having much luck with it. The pants are nice, I bought the large (I'm 5'7") hoping they would be long enough for me, but they seem a bit shorter than other pants I've purchased with the same inseam length listed (34.5").
Other than that, they seem warm, the pockets are really nice, especially the lower one on the left leg, they're not too tight and they provide me with nice style to shred in.

|5 wrestle in Rocky Mountain Nationals
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
A first-time national championship was earned by HHS Dragon wrestler Chad Stroh when he won the 18 and under, 125-lb. class in the Rocky Mountain Nationals Who's That Tournament Saturday, Jan. 3.
In the same tourney, HHS freshman Mark Edmonds finished fifth in the 15 and under, 102-lb. class. Also competing in nice fashion was sixth grader Nick Ortner, who wrestled at 106 lbs., 12 and under.
Approximately 1,100 wrestlers competed last Saturday at the National Western Complex in Denver.
Stroh finishes first
Stroh, an HHS junior, went 4-0 for the day in a fine showing for the 125-lb. championship.
In a tough bracket, he won his first two matches fairly easily, one by a pin and the other an 11-4 decision.
In a very close semifinal match, Stroh was trailing by one point with 10 seconds remaining. Starting from the center, Stroh stood up and threw his opponent to the mat for a two-point reversal and a thrilling 6-5 match win.
He went on to defeat a tough nationally-ranked wrestler from Broomfield, 11-3. Coach Duane Stroh said the match was actually closer than the final score showed. He said it was a two-point match until the final 20 seconds when Chad put his opponent on his back.
Edmonds finishes fifth
Edmonds had an outstanding day, earning six wins and two losses for his fifth-place medal.
Coach Stroh noted the first 30 seconds of Edmonds' first match of the day hurt him, as he wasn't quite ready to wrestle. His opponent got up 5-0 right away and ended up winning 10-6. Stroh said he feels Edmonds could have won in the third period. He was headed towards pinning combinations, only to have the match stopped for his opponent's nosebleed.
But the determined Dragon freshman won five straight matches to get into the medals. Coach Stroh cited the significance of winning five straight in such a tough tournament, or any time.
In his seventh match of the day, Edmonds lost a close one to see if he would go for third or for fifth place. His opponent in that match ended up challenging, to place second overall.
In his fifth-place bout, Edmonds took his sixth victory of the day. He finished higher in the placings than his opponent who defeated him in the first match of the day.
Ortner looks good
Ortner went 1-2 for the day and had a real good weekend, noted coach Stroh. He looked especially good in the match he won.
In his last match, he just got caught, which resulted in a loss. Stroh commended Ortner's desire and said he should be a good Dragon competitor by the time he reaches high school.

Interesting that Brackens is going to be playing the hybrid position this year. That explains why Schaeffer replaced Givens last year when he was injured. Also pumped to see so many RS frosh in the 2 deeps
Surprised Broomfield and Brackens are swapped. Thought rumor was Broomfield was going to bulk up and move to LB.
Good to see Charlie Rogers on the depth chart.
Where's Jansen Watson?

Sam Richardson really conditioned well to be able to start at QB and CB.
Surprised we moved Stokes to safety, considering he started at CB last year. Where the heck is Watson?
No Irving for Spring? Don't like the sounds of that.
Hopefully nothing serious for either.

4 Point Plan
1. Start Up 2. Cash In 3. Sell Out 4. Bro Down
I like the move. Bigger frame and he wasn't the best cover guy. Think he will thrive at safety.
Will Brackens wear that Brunhilda suit, or will we have to know him by his #?

- Top down / bottom up shades come with 2 sets of lift cords. Standard controls are the right cord lowers the shade from the top down and the left cord raises the shade from the bottom up.

To register your high school junior or senior for GROW, call the Ouachita Admissions Office at (800) DIAL-OBU or visitwww.obu.edu/grow. For more information, call the Ouachita Alumni Office at (870) 245-5111.
GROW (Getting Ready for Ouachita's World)
High school juniors and seniors are invited to experience life as a Ouachita student by attending classes, Tiger Tunes, a special outdoor Refuge worship service and our new Homecoming Purple Plaza Party, spending the night in a residence hall and visiting with current students and faculty members. Call Ouachita admissions at (800) DIAL-OBU or visit obu.edu/grow for registration information.
The Arkansas Arts Council will present the 2014 "Small Works on Paper" art exhibition Oct. 6-24 at Ouachita Baptist University's Hammons Gallery inside Mabee Fine Arts Center.
"Having an art exhibit on campus is an enriching experience that you don't have to drive out of town in order to experience," said Donnie Copeland, chair of Ouachita' visual arts department.
Ouachita was chosen as one of 10 hosts for the "Small Works on Paper" exhibit in Arkansas. The annual art exhibition is now in its 27th year. Mary Kennedy, CEO of the Mid-America Arts Alliance, served as juror for the 2014 exhibit, selecting works from 39 artists to be showcased. The artwork is all of similar size – no larger than 24 x 24 inches – but varied in style, media and technique.
"Graduates of Ouachita, regardless of their major, will find that the world they enter when they leave OBU will be one that includes art of all kinds," Copeland added. "This kind of exhibit has the potential to make us all more familiar with some of the artists in our state and helps make our campus more connected to what is happening with the visuals arts in Arkansas."
The exhibit is free and open to the public. Gallery hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. For more information, contact the School of Fine Arts at (870) 245-5129.

[Support Programs and Services for Students]
The UA Police Department is a comprehensive, accredited police department of sworn officers with full arrest powers. These state-certified police officers patrol the academic and residential areas of campus 24 hours a day in patrol cars, by bike, and on foot.
Other services offered by University Police include the following and can be utilized by calling (205) 348-5454, unless otherwise specified:
- Bama Escort Service offers a free ride between locations on campus or between nearby residences and campus. Rides are available each night during the dark hours (typically from around 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.), just by calling (205) 348-RIDE.
- Operation Identification loans engravers to students so they can engrave their driver's license numbers on valuable property to help prevent theft.
- Blue emergency phones conveniently located around campus provide direct lines to the UA Police Department, making dialing unnecessary and ensuring quick response times.
- Each year, University Police officers lead many educational programs on crime prevention at the invitation of campus groups and present additional public sessions.
Medical Emergencies: 911
If someone on campus needs emergency medical care, call 911. The call will reach the UA Police Department. Usually, a police officer will be the first emergency official to arrive. Tell the officer what happened; then move away from the victim unless you're administering CPR. Stay in the area, however, in case more information is needed. In addition to police, a local ambulance service and paramedics from the Tuscaloosa Fire Department will respond.
When you call 911, remember these important points:
- The victim must not be moved, except to remove him or her from life-threatening conditions.
- Someone must stay with the victim until help arrives.
- You must describe the victim's exact location, and you must give accurate directions.
- You must give an accurate description of what happened.
- You must stay on the line until the dispatcher tells you to hang up.
- You should meet the emergency officials and guide them to the victim.
- You should stay out of the way, and keep others out of the way, of emergency officials. However, before you leave the scene, check with a police officer to see if further information is needed.
Fire Emergencies: 911
In the event of a fire on or off campus, sound the nearest fire alarm in the building. Then call 911. Tell the communications operator your name and address, and the location and extent of the fire. If you know of any persons with disabilities in the building, tell the communications officer about them. If you think it's possible, confine the fire by closing nearby windows and doors. In no case should you linger in a building in which smoke or fumes threaten to overcome you.
The building should be evacuated quickly and calmly. Do not use elevators to leave the building, but follow the lighted exit signs to the closest fire exit. Whenever possible, follow the evacuation route posted in the building. An escort should be assigned to each person with a disability in the building.
Meet emergency officials outside the building and direct them to the fire. Remain outside at a safe distance, and keep others away from the building and from emergency vehicles. In all cases, follow the instructions of fire and police personnel on the scene.
Fire prevention tips are available from Environmental Health and Safety (205-348-5905). Just using common sense will go a long way toward preventing fires. For example, never smoke in bed or leave burning candles unattended.
Homeland Security Emergencies
If you receive a threat, or are made aware of a threat, that could affect the well-being or safety of the University community, contact University Police immediately at 911 or (205) 348-5454. Provide as much information about the situation as possible. University Police will respond to, analyze, and evaluate the situation to determine the next course of action.
For more information on University Police services, consult the Safer Living Guide, available at the main desk of Gorgas Hall. This guide to safety on and off campus includes tips for safe walking, cycling, and driving; and safety measures you can take in UA residence halls or off-campus apartments.

Oh, to be a trophy.
Yes. Congratulations, Novak Djokovic, on a whole bunch of things: first US Open title, fourth career major, 10th title of the year, 64-2 record, 3 Slams in a single year, sixth straight win over Rafael Nadal, and beating Roger Federer and Rafa back-to-back. Pretty massive list of accomplishments.
So where does he go from here? From the Serbian horse's mouth at his post-match presser:
There is still a lot of things to prove, you know, to myself, to the tennis world. I still want to win many more events, many more major events. That's something ‑‑ as I said, you know, it's not just habit of standing up every morning and being focused on what you do. It's just that love for the sport that keeps me going. And winning on the court, that feeling, as along as it stays with me, I will keep fighting for more trophies. Yeah, so it would be unbelievable to be able to complete the Grand Slam, to win the French Open. It's something that is definitely an ambition, but it's going to take time.Sure it's going to take time, but the French Open won't be far off. Before Wimbledon, I would've said winning on the grass was going to be the biggest hurdle and he took that one home. But all that talk is for next year. Right now is where it's at. Major props, Nole. Now go stuff your face with gluten. You've earned it.

|Holyoke falls to Lutheran at regional tournament
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
After a dominant regular season and a second-place finish at the district tournament, the Dragon baseball team bowed out of the regional tournament in the second round to end the season.
After completing a come-from-behind victory over Paonia at Niwot in the first round of the tournament Saturday, May 18, the Dragons could not manufacture the same type of comeback in the second round, falling to Lutheran 7-2.
HHS finished the year with a 20-4 record. All season they buried opponents with a lethal combination of speed and power. As a testament to their abilities, the team combined for 27 home runs and 72 stolen bases on the year.
In fact, across all classifications, Holyoke was the top-ranked team for home runs and second only to Bayfield in RBIs.
Jaydin Goldenstein lays into a pitch for a

Holyoke 6, Paonia 4
It was a sound Dragon fans were familiar with. A sound that instantly warranted loud cheers from the stands and immediately caused Holyoke players in the dugout to jump the fence and rush toward home plate, well before the ball had even cleared the fence.
"I heard the crack of the bat and knew it was gone right away," said coach John Zilla.
In the top of the sixth inning and the Dragons down 4-2, Jaydin Goldenstein stepped into the batter's box with two outs and the bases loaded. As he had done seven other times during the season, the senior unloaded on a pitch, dropped his bat and began the jog around the bases.
None of his other home runs proved as timely as Saturday's grand slam against Paonia, as it completed the two-out, late inning rally the Dragons desperately needed to keep their season alive.
The Dragons struggled to take advantage of base runners in scoring position early in the match, but came through when it mattered most.
Paonia jumped to an early lead, scoring in the bottom of the second inning on a two-run home run that cleared the center-field fence.
After getting the lead, Paonia went to the bullpen for their ace in hopes of holding on to the two-run lead for the remainder of the game.
The Dragons responded to the challenge, scoring two runs in the top of the third inning. Goldenstein got things started with a triple down the right-field line. Jesus Hermosillo would bring in Holyoke's first run with a single roped to left field.

Tanner Smith, who was Hermosillo's courtesy runner, scored as a throw down to third to catch him stealing sailed into left field, tying the two teams at two apiece.
Paonia crossed two more runners in the fourth inning to take a 4-2 lead.
Logan Zeiler provided a much-needed single for HHS to begin the sixth-inning rally. Brett Cumming and Trevor Dalton both reached base on balls to set the stage for Goldenstein's late-game heroics. Goldenstein's go-ahead home run was enough to put down the Eagles, giving Holyoke the 6-4 victory.
"That is one thing about our team, our batters always came through for us throughout the season," Zilla said.
Goldenstein and Zeiler both posted two-hit performances in the win. Goldenstein also scored twice and knocked in four runs.
Deyten Klein went the distance on the mound for the Dragons. In his seven-inning, complete game victory, the senior allowed four runs on eight hits while striking out eight and walking four.

Holyoke 2, Lutheran 7
While the Lutheran squad only recorded one more hit than the Dragons, it was the timing of the hits that separated the two teams.
Zilla pointed out that Holyoke was unable to put together consecutive hits and most hits occurred with two outs in the inning. Lutheran, on the other hand, did a good job of stringing together multiple hits in an inning to score runners.
"I think we were a little drained and we just weren't ourselves at the plate," Zilla said.
HHS fell into a hole early as Lutheran scored four runs on four hits through the first two innings.
A Trevor Dalton double in the third inning scored Smith for the first run of the game for the Dragons.
Two innings later Dalton lined a pitch up the middle to score Smith again and cut the deficit in half to 4-2.
The road to another comeback win was made exponentially more difficult in the bottom of the sixth inning when Lutheran poured in three more runs on two hits to extend their lead to 7-2.
Although Holyoke made some of their best contact at the plate in the final inning, they went three up, three down, giving Lutheran a 7-2 victory.
Dalton and Smith each had two hits in the match to lead the Dragons as the duo were responsible for both Dragon runs as well. Dalton picked up two RBIs and Smith scored twice.
Goldenstein started on the hill for Holyoke. In 5 2/3 innings, Goldenstein allowed seven runs on seven hits while walking three, hitting one and striking out two.
Alfredo Santos came in to finish the sixth inning and retired the only batter he faced.
"The team performed very well over the season," Zilla said. "They did everything we asked of them and it was just a great season."

Letters to the Editor: Lynbrook, East Rockaway
(Page 3 of 3)
As a concerned resident of Lynbrook Village for the past seven years, I am writing to express my thoughts about the "feather factory."
The idea of having a hotel built at this location to bring money into the Lynbrook community will not work. Lynbrook offers limited dining and entertainment for visitors. However, several towns over there is an abundance of stimulation for visitors, and so that community would benefit the most from a hotel. I believe that having a hotel placed in Lynbrook would negatively impact the community.
So, fellow Lynbrook neighbors, reach out to Mayor William Hendrick — write him a letter, send him an email, or just offer suggestions or better options for that location.
Here's one idea: use the building as a self-storage center. There are several community-style living quarters within a short distance from this location, and it would be beneficial for those residents to have local storage units.

Rafael Nadal, who plays his first round Aussie Open match tonight against diminutive Belgain Christophe Rochus, began his full-on media assault this fortnight with his blog for The Times UK:
Hi everyone or should I say g'day mate? I have been told that this is the way Australians say hello so wanted also to say it like this.
This is my first blog here from Australia and I am very thankful to this newspaper to have given me this opportunity. Here you have read my blogs in the 2 last years but this is the first time from Melbourne. Hopefully it will bring me that luck I need here and get me to the final rounds...
I know I have a lot of fans that read my blogs in the UK and when at the very last moment I was asked I was very happy to do it. Once again I ask you to forgive my mistakes, my bad English, my non-professional way of writing and I also hope that the media who traveled all the way to Melbourne doesn't get upset with me for doing this. Why should they? I only say things here that they would never write about right? :-)
Anyway here we go again with a new season. I am back here in Melbourne, back in Australia and I have to say that I love being here. You know, coming from the cold weather we have back there in Europe, less in Mallorca of course... it is nice to be here in the middle of the summer. It is something that makes me happy.
You know, at least those following me, that I love the competition. And the real competition starts here. I have to say that I am excited about it. The end of my best year ever was kind of not the way I expected it to be. So to be back playing a big event like this makes me happy.
I hope we will have a lot of time these weeks to talk about many things. Hopefully I'll be around for a few days and we will be able to talk about many things. after my 5th or 6th blog I start thinking what am I going to write about..., but anyway I am also answering your questions so come one and send me easy ones, really looking forward to them...
Many thanks
The Malloran Matador also answered reader questions for the UK paper and for the Aussie Herald Sun (some people still wonder why he picks his wedgies - get a grip. Oh, and he completely avoids the s-e-x question...)

You know what, once I got an insufficient (they tell me it is like a D here) at physical education.
Someone should go and talk to that teacher today, right?*****
I don't think he avoided the s-e-x Q, it was just a very good answer. ;)
- johanneJanuary 19, 2009 at 9:09 AM
I am so in love with him, but what else is new....LOLReplyDelete
Babz: my thoughts exactly about his insufficient grade in PE. Pfff! Also, loved his answer about sex - very mature. But also, he'd be wise to say he's not having sex during a tourney, considering Xisca is practically NEVER there with him ;)
"I love cookies and I eat some but not that many. I actually burn a lot of calories so I do really deserve to eat them from time to time, right?"ReplyDelete
*dresses up as cookie*
babz: It was good but he could've had a better one like "Well, at tourneys the Rafanatics have me and my ass-ets on speed dial. So I save energy by just lying there and letting them take turns."ReplyDelete
See? It's still vague.
johanne: maybe there's a blow up Xisca somewhere? Or blow up babz, johanne, and/or natch??
i don't think he'd want THAT in the media. not that i'd post about it or anything.

natch: LMAO!!!

I've never wanted to be a trainer so bad:ReplyDelete
Xisca might have a blowup, but I'm sure nothing could substitute for the three of us.ReplyDelete
*nudges jo and natch to buy next round*
omg! Trainer, you fool. Hand goes UNDERNEATH those shorts, not on the outside. Sheeeshhhhhh. Then the fool says, "I'll try not to go too deep." I would NEVER utter those words to Rafa!! Never, I tellya.
*puts cookie costume back on*
Sorry, I can't hear you. I'm too busy being a cookie, waiting for Rafa to devour me...;)
If I were a cookie for Rafa, I'd be a double chocolate fudge cookie with a creamy inside.ReplyDelete
It goes well with the tall, half-calf, double shot caramel Rafalatte.
Ask him.
*dials Rafa PR flack, has him on standby*
Excuse me, why is there no blow up version of me?!!ReplyDelete
(There's a sentence I never thought I'd write. LOL)
*reads Rafa's adorable and funny answers*
Life's good again.
*goes hiding in a giant Nutella glass, knowing that this is his favourite spread*
You can't say "favourite spread" and expect me to remain silent, can you???
Oh, the thoughts that are running through my head right now.
Good thing my UPS man arrives in about 30 minutes.
sonja: my deepest apologies!ReplyDelete
*puts down DtL, calls bj rafa doll manufacturer*
*orders super-sized sonja doll, overnights to matador*
I was expecting comments, natch, you know me! ;-)ReplyDelete
Yeah, I've been super-sized! :-)
Is that overnight shipping by any chance done by that UPS guy?

i have a problem with smtp/imap/pop3 authentication: if a user put "£" (english pound symbol) in his password it simply gives back a "LOGIN failed" message.
The webmail authentication works fine.
this is the version of zimbra i'm using, it's 32bit:
Release 7.1.4_GA_2555.UBUNTU8 UBUNTU8 FOSS edition.
The os is:
Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS \n \l
I've tried looking on bugzilla but i haven't found anything, could it be related to the version of the os rather then zimbra itself?

I have a question: can we get mail from Sent Item Folder in Zimbra Client to Outlook by POP3 (not IMAP)??? usually, when using POP3 method, we only can get mail from INBOX folder to Outlook, but I also want to get from other folder too? if the answer is yes so how can we do that?
Thanks for your concern.

Our company is running zimbra for a while now, we're on 4.5 (on openSuSe), and every so often contacts go missing from the adress book in outlook: instead there's an empty contact. When I log into the webinterface, the contacts are there just fine. The thing is, I cannot get them back in outlook. The problem persists over multiple computers and users.
We have one user (the front desk) that contains all the company's contacts, and every normal user has that mailbox added to his/her account and are thus able to use it's contact list/adress book.
This is really frustrating, it turns out newly synced boxes lost over 90% of the adress book! Anyone any idea what's causing it and how to fix it?

Fantastic little light
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is a great light for the daily bike commuter. It is so quick and easy to install or remove. The lumens are super bright, so I feel safe on my early morning rides to work. I have not used it under wet conditions so I am not sure how water proof it is. I do plan on purchasing a few more for the family.

I use multiple clients, trying to see how different things interact. My main messagestore is my zimbra machine (using zimbra of course). For my clients I am using the zimbra interface, evolution, and mutt (coworker using Outlook as well).
I have one folder under my INBOX named NANOG. Yesterday in evolution, I selected all in that folder, marked as delete, then purged. After that, my mutt and zimbra showed that there is a new message in that folder, evolution did not. I went into the folder and there were no new messages.
This morning I had some new messages in that folder, but didn't think to check the accuracy of the count. After reading the messages, it is back to always showing that there is 1 new message. I will check when a new message comes in tomorrow if it shows the total +1 as the number of new messages or if it shows the actual number.
Has anybody seen this before? A forum search turned up no similar issues.

We know now that walkers are in the barn, so what else is everyone's predictions?
They search for the girl and don't find her.
The old farmer guy is going down tonight.
The Walkers in the barn break out and there's no weapons since the old man took them all (per his rules). From there, there's no choice but to kill them or be killed, but this is a tough choice for the 'family' that own the farm since those zombies are friends/family members.
Once the smoke settles on that drama, the gang is kindly asked to gtfo of dodge. The little hottie that got busy at the pharmacy will break away from her group and leave with Rick and his gang, since her remaining family members bit the dust.
The girl isn't found, but they find evidence that she's been taken/rescued by another group of survivors.
Here we go
A bunch of chickens get eaten.

Hooray for Metaphors!
The scenes with Lori and Rick talking will be nearly unwatchable.
Shooting off a bunch of guns sounds like a great way to not attract zombies.
I bet John Fox kicks everyone off his farm
Colonel Sanders is kind of weird and annoying.

That Zales commercial is freaky. Looks like the guy is trying to get on a little boy.
they find the girl only to come back to the zombies breaking out of the barn and have to pack up as quickly as possible and haul *** out.

Senate Wants Free Meals For W.Va. Grade Schools
Every elementary student would be eligible under plan
March 28, 2013
CHARLESTON (AP) — West Virginia would be the first state in the nation to give free school breakfast and lunch to every elementary school student under the provisions of an ambitious bill advanced b......
wvhoopie-you are right, the money parents save will be taken to the gambling establishments and recycled back into the state.

"Senate Wants"....Middle class america have been qualifying for free lunch. I can tell you, with 3 children at home and one working parent, my family would have qualified at one time. We did not use, why, because we could afford the lunch bill and food at home. How could I take this and have my kids in dance and travel sports and drive a brand new SUV. Thats insane. I think most will take. Its not free, we WILL ALL PAY. Middle tax just went up-for foolishness and this qualifies. Yes, feed every child, do not push further dependence on govt.

Mark this day down. I agree with Triton. Furthermore, where this program is currently in plasce as part of a pilot projectr, it results in a horrible waste of food, and thus money. Kids that don't need a free breakfast or lunch shouldn't get them.

wvhoopie2 "tattoos, cigarettes, or some other waste of money"
Waste of money? Barry Ospender calls that "stimulus." Needle-ready jobs. And since "the West Virginia Feed to Achieve Act, would pay for the expanded lunch programs through additional federal funding," those lunches are free because only the "rich" will be seeing their taxes go up. Right...
mmm mmm mmm, more Kool-Aid please

I believe every child deserves a meal at school but the parents should be held to some level of responsibility in the feeding and raising of the child rather than the State. The money the parents save by the State feeding the child will be used for tattoos, cigarettes, or some other waste of money and the taxpayer is footing the bill again.

Until education is no longer compulsory, schools need to provide lunch for everyone. Stop forcing people who obviously won't benefit from sitting in a classroom to attend, and everything will improve. School is essentially day jail, so if you force kids to be there, then feed them.

0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
It never ceases to amaze me that anyone with any human compassion and heart could attempt to conjure up any sort of lame excuse to not give every child in America free food. No matter how stupid their parents are, no matter how much money their parents have or don't have or how much this child weighs or even if it increases our taxes. The real shame lies in us as a community that turns a blind eye to this sort of child abuse and child neglect. Not doing everything humanly possible to feed a hungry child is most certainly child abuse. If a child came to your door and told you he is hungry, would you feed that child or would you start questioning him about why his stupid parents didn't care enough about him to furnish his food or would you look at him and scrutinize his body size and determine he was too fat to be given food. Or maybe you could tell him that you can't be responsible for the fact he is hungry and your taxes are already too high. He can't comprehend these pitiful excuses.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I am tired og the Gov giving away our tax money. Let the lazy parents {That is if they have any} getr off their butts and fix them meals. In this day and age it's all a give away at tax payers expense. Oh well, It creates jobs to purchase, prepare, serve and clean up. Then our great politians can bragg of how many jobs created.

Not many argue against free meals for elementary school kids, as we have had breakfeast for a long time now. Its another feel good program though that does not fix a problem. Prior to this you had to qualify by income for free meals for your kids, but that does not work now. Why? Because we never address bad parenting in our society, we just pass the responsiblity on to others. In WV no child need go hungry, nor without medical care and its been that way for many years, with school meals, food stamps and CHP health cards for kids in need. The problem has always been that those benefits are misused by lousy parents. They don't take their kids to dentists or doctors, and they use the food stamps for booze and drugs. We do not address that problem that impacts kids, we just invent more programs to avoid DHHR's neglect in protecting kids. Even parents with jobs neglect their kids. The kids are still at risk at home. But WE feel better. And at least they eat something.

If a kid comes to school and appears to be hungry or says he is hungry, the county social worker(s) should visit the child's home and find out what the problem is. Of course segregating kids for breakfast or lunch is humiliating and if a child is receiving the benefit, no one else should know. Parents have a responsibility to feed their children, not the taxpayer or the good intentioned.

If the schools provide breakfast and lunch, what are the chances we taxpayers would get a proportionate break on the amount of food stamps we're funding for these children and their families?

key x_item SP2858
Metamorphose by Mickael Chatelain
Item Number: SP2858
Don't blink...you really will miss it!
A spectator selects a card from the pack and, taking care that no one sees the face, places it face-down on the table. The performer removes a felt-tip pen, takes out another random card from the pack and draws a small sketch on the back. The moment of truth has come...the spectator turns over their selected card, it's the two of diamonds. The performer shows his drawing to the audience...and it's completely wrong! But don't worry, the magician holds the card with his drawing on the back by one corner, gives it a flick with his other hand and visually, the drawn sketch morphs into the spectator's selection!
Comes with the very special, hand-made gimmick on Bicycle stock and photo-illustrated instructions.
