At 42, there's just no reining in Magic
Horse is older than most live to be, yet more active and in better health than horses half her age.
At 42 years old, Arabian horse Magic is healthier and has more energy than horses half her age.
A unique breed: Arabian horses are considered the oldest known breed of riding horses, with archaeological evidence of Arabian horses dating back 4,500 years. Today, Arabians are found worldwide and are one of the top horse breeds in the world. They're known for their high-carried tail and their distinctive head shape.
Quote: "I thought she would've died five years ago. Every night, I tell her 'just one more night girl, make it one more night.' She's just an amazing girl." — Magic's owner, Bob Manns
Bob Manns likes to play a game with visitors to his Fallbrook ranch: He asks them to guess which of his four horses is the oldest.
There's Cherokee, the black and white 10-year-old; Misty, the 13-year-old wild child; and Raven, the 17-year-old stallion who loves giving people kisses.
And then there's Magic, the chestnut Arabian who celebrated her 42nd birthday in June.
No one ever guesses that she's the oldest.
At 42, Magic is a rarity. She is older than most horses live to be, yet she is more active and in better health than many horses half her age.
"Everyone kind of lives around her," Manns said about Magic. "She lives in her own world. You'll go up to her to say 'Hi Magic' and she'll have a bunch of hay on her head.
"She's just adorable, she's sweet."
The average horse, including Arabians, lives about 30 years, said Magic's veterinarian, Daniel Grove of West Coast Equine Medicine in Fallbrook.
"It's impressive that we've got a horse that's lived to be that age," Grove said. "It's a run-of-the-mill horse that Bob takes very good care of."
What's more impressive is that Magic still has the physical abilities of a younger horse. Manns said he takes Magic every weekend on 10-mile rides around the Santa Margarita River Trail, where some of the hills are 300 feet high and the trail goes as low as the river valley.
And even when she's got Manns and his saddle — a combined 280 pounds — on her back, Magic still gallops effortlessly down the trail. Most of the time, she ends up leading Manns' other horses.
For years, Magic has had people fooled about her age. Manns saw Magic for the first time during a barrel-racing competition. The young girl who was riding Magic had to "hold on for dear life," Manns said. She ended up beating all the other horses' times.
When Manns bought her in 2001, everyone told him Magic looked like an 18-year-old. It turned out that she was already 30.
Since her birth in 1968, Magic has had five owners, including Manns. She's had six foals, and her veterinarian says she could very likely handle having another one.
For most of her life, Magic has been a pleasure and trail-riding horse. She's also been used for professional cattle cutting and sorting and barrel racing.
Manns estimated she's also given hundreds of children and adults their first riding lessons.
Magic is a good horse to ride because she "gauges the personality of the rider," Manns said. She can tell when she has a new rider on her back, and will go slower.
Those new riders include 9-year-old twins Paige and Sidney Bonenfant, who visit "Cowboy Bob's" ranch to ride Magic and the other horses.
The girls have learned quite a bit during their visits to the ranch. They have learned how to care for horses, often helping Manns feed and brush his horses.
But it's not just knowledge about horses that the girls are acquiring. Their mother, Melanie, said they're also learning life lessons from their time at the ranch.

14 December 2011 - The prolonged period of unsettled and wintry weather for the UK is set to continue into the weekend.
Cold temperatures and rain showers will bring a risk of icy conditions across a large part of the country today and tomorrow, before a storm heads in tomorrow evening.
There is increasing confidence that this Atlantic storm will move along the south coast of England, bringing winds of up to 70mph in this area overnight into Friday.
However, there is still a small chance that the low will move further north, with the risk of strong winds affecting a larger area of the south of England.
Most likely track of low pressure 15-16 December Low risk alternative track of low pressure 15-16 December 2011
Heavy rain will also feature across the south of the UK as the storm passes through, bringing a risk of surface water flooding.
To the north of the storm, colder air will bring a risk of snow to Wales and parts of central England from the early hours of Friday morning.
The snow is likely to accumulate even at low levels with the risk of up to 10 cm lying over higher ground.
Colder than average temperatures will then carry on through Friday and the weekend, continuing the risk of icy conditions.
Anthony Astbury, Chief Forecaster at the Met Office, said: "The unsettled weather over the next few days could bring a range of hazards across the country, from snow and ice to heavy rain and strong winds.
"We're working closely with government agencies and the resilience community to keep them up to date with the latest information. We'd advise the public to regularly check our latest forecasts and warnings to stay up-to-date with the situation."

Business energy briefs for Jan. 11
Devon Energy plans career fair
Devon Energy Corp. will host a career fair this month to fill more than 250 jobs. Qualified applicants can register on the company's website for the Devon Energy Petro-Professional Career Fair, which will be from 2 to 5 p.m. Jan. 22. Devon is looking for experienced professionals with backgrounds in engineering, geosciences, division orders, regulatory affairs and environmental health and safety. The company has about 280 positions to fill, including some left open by employees who declined to move to Oklahoma City after Devon shuttered its Houston office.
Rose Rock acquires pipeline stake
TULSA — Rose Rock Midstream LP has agreed to acquire a 33 percent stake in SemCrude Pipeline LLC for $273.9 million. The deal with parent company SemGroup Corp. gives Rose Rock a 17 percent stake in the White Cliffs Pipeline, a 527-mile crude oil line that runs from Colorado to the storage hub at Cushing. A planned expansion project will increase the line's transportation capacity to 150,000 barrels a day by the middle of 2014. "We are excited to announce our first drop down transaction for Rose Rock Midstream, which will be immediately accretive to the partnership's common unit holders," CEO Norm Szydlowski said. "This acquisition supports our strategic plan and is complementary to our existing crude-based business."
SemGroup announces dividend
TULSA — SemGroup Corp. expects to pay a quarterly cash dividend to common shareholders beginning in the second quarter, the company announced this week. The dividend is meant as a pass-through for the majority of the cash distributions received by SemGroup from its interests in Rose Rock Midstream LP and NGL Energy Partners LP. "In the past three years, since becoming a public company, we undertook a number of initiatives to improve the stability of our cash flows and to position the company to benefit from the significant growth potential in the midstream oil and gas sector," CEO Norm Szydlowski said. "Our intention to initiate a cash dividend reflects our confidence in our future cash flows. It is another important step in our commitment to deliver value to shareholders."
PetroQuest plans seismic survey
PetroQuest Energy Inc. is poised to invest in a 3-D seismic survey in northern Oklahoma's Mississippi Lime formation, the Louisiana-based company announced this week. PetroQuest is encouraged by its results to date in the play, so it is ready to invest more money there. The company intends to take part in a survey of its Pawnee County acreage, while evaluating its options in Kay and Grant counties.
Texas firm completes $21M deal
Houston-based LRR Energy LP has completed its $21 million acquisition of oil and natural gas properties in Oklahoma, the partnership announced. LRR bought the properties from its sponsor, Lime Rock Resources. The deal included commodity hedge contracts worth about $1.8 million.
Tulsa company finishes financing
TULSA — American Natural Energy Corp. said Thursday it has completed its previously announced unsecured convertible debenture financing with the sale of an additional $1 million debenture to a private investor group. The debenture is due and payable in two years. Interest is payable quarterly at an annual rate of 12 percent. The Tulsa energy company said it will use the proceeds to pay for drilling and completion expenses.
BP settlement pays another $1B
NEW ORLEANS — Businesses and individuals who claim BP's oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico cost them money have been paid more than $1 billion through the company's class-action settlement with a team of private plaintiffs' attorneys, court-supervised claims administrator Patrick Juneau said. The $1 billion that Juneau's team has paid is for claims that were filed after the settlement was announced last year. They also paid an additional $404 million for claims that Juneau inherited after replacing the Gulf Coast Claims Facility led by Kenneth Feinberg. The facility processed about 221,300 claims following the 2010 spill and paid out more than $6 billion before the court-supervised claims process was established in June 2012. Juneau's staff has handled more than 223,000 calls about the settlement and received more than 97,000 claims. He said 95 percent of claimants who were offered payments by his team decided to accept them. However, thousands of people and businesses opted out of the deal to pursue their claims individually.

60 years of I Love A Clean San Diego
"It's a good idea for people to know the name of the creek in their community, so that they're more concerned about how to protect it, and to know what kinds of household trash are out there," she said.
Cleanup volunteers learn how trash left in creeks and canyons makes its way through the waterway to the coast, harming wildlife and habitat along the way.
"Our objective is to get it out of the water, before it goes to the beach, or to the really big enemy, the Pacific Gyre," Haines said, referring to the vortex in the North Pacific where plastic debris and other trash swirls in high concentrations. "Your piece of plastic someone hurls off mission beach, will ultimately go to this big eddy north of Hawaii… and birds and marine life will ultimately ingest that plastic."
By turning the spotlight on litter and its effects, Mallett said, I Love A Clean San Diego opens the door to other facets of environmental activism.
"They can be a stepping stone for people to move onto other environmental topics, such as storm water, hazardous material, solid waste and recycling," she said.
But by framing its program as an opportunity to act, I Love A Clean San Diego confers a sense of hope and optimism to its volunteers, sources said.
"I think they do a really good job of showing people what they can do, instead of that doom or gloom tactic of what's wrong with the world, and how dire the situation is," said Haley Haggerstone, chapter manager for Surfrider San Diego. "They get the message out to people and are sort of a go-to source for things like recycling, and education."
Although I Love a Clean San Diego doesn't address policy, its careful tabulations of cleanup results provide fodder for those who do, said Lani Lutar, executive director of the Equinox Center, an economic and environmental think tank that has analyzed San Diego's waste and recycling trends.
The Creek to Bay Cleanup will take place throughout the county on Saturday, a day before San Diego EarthFair convenes at Balboa Park. EarthFair founder Carolyn Chase said the organization's sweeping cleanups dovetail with this year's Earth Day theme of zero waste.
"Every city needs a group that's going to help us pick up after ourselves," Chase said. Let's just be honest with ourselves."
Although thousands of volunteers have gotten their message, Chase said their work of I Love A Clean San Diego is still underway.
"Have they finished their mission?" she said. "I think it's a mission about human nature."

Italian cooking: RecipesPrint this recipe
Serves 4
Preparation time: 25 minutes
8 to 12 chicken drumsticks
1 onion
4 ripe tomatoes
3 tablespoons Bertolli Extra Virgin olive oil
1 dl white wine
salt & pepper
1 yellow bell pepper
2 sprigs rosemary
This is a welcome 'Change-your-chicken-dish-habits'. No whole bird or easy filets, but finger licking drumsticks!
Chop the onion. Chop the tomatoes roughly and cut the yellow pepper into thin strips.
Remove the rosemary from the stalks and chop finely.
Sauté the onion in a saucepan with the Bertolli Extra Virgin olive oil and the rosemary. Add the drumsticks and brown them on both sides. Season with salt and pepper. Add the wine and reduce by 1/3.
Add the tomatoes and sliced pepper. Lower the heat, cover the pan and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Serve the chicken with the cooking juices poured over it.
To complete the meal, accompany with some bread and fruit.
A tip:
If available and in high season, use the three colours of bell pepper: green, yellow and red.

I downloaded both the 7zip version and regular zipped version to test to see if that was the reason. Same results.

She is requesting this loan to buy perfumes and fragrances, for both men and women, so that she can fill the orders she has received. She is very grateful to the Fundación [La Fundación Paraguay; Kiva field partner] for the opportunity this gives her, as this loan will be a great help to her microbusiness.

Additional Information
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more.

And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Just read this on talk disney sourced from Orlando theme park news
sob ..
Joshy and JackJacks Mummy
There have been rumours of this doing the rounds for some time. In fact last year a similar article was posted on the same website above and I can categorically say spectromagic was still there last september as I saw it with my own eyes!
Now I'm not saying it isn't true but I read these articles with a pinch of salt and a little hope.
The wording of the CM who showed us around seemed that one day spectromagic would return one day.
I am hopeful but the longer it goes without us seeing it the less chance it has of coming back.
I will also add that Disney wouldn't just 'bin' spectromagic, as we know Disney are famous for recycling what they can for new things.
Personally I don't think its gone, yet.
Literally crying at the thought of this. Is that pathetic? I will always keep up hope that they will bring it back, as it's one of (if not my most) treasured single element/attraction from my past. I so want to experience it with my husband, even if it's just once. Every time I think that it might be gone for good, it just breaks my heart.
This one has just been put up I think it is true if I'm honest. But I'm excited to see the new parade !! It's music ill miss the most
Joshy and JackJacks Mummy
I have the soundtrack on cd I shall be putting it on in a minute
Joshy and JackJacks Mummy
I hate that my husband will never get to experience it. He more or less knows the music by heart already because I play it so much in the car. *sigh*
Intrigued to hear more about the new parade. I'll just be glad to see the MSEP go. I really don't like it, lol.
I didn't even watch it when I was last there .. I'm gutted my boys will never see it I actually took josh when it was still on but we didn't stay to watch it as I have no idea why
I'm hoping they are guna really pull it out the bag with the new one .. Always exciting

Romney captures all 77 counties in Oklahoma
WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney continued a long streak of Republican presidential wins in Oklahoma on Tuesday and gave the GOP its third straight sweep of the state's 77 counties.
With most of the precincts reporting, Romney had 67 percent of the vote and President Barack Obama had 33 percent, slightly less than he won in 2008. Romney's win in the state gave him seven electoral votes, but Obama's supporters in the state claimed the ultimate victory as the president won a second term.
It was unclear late Tuesday whether Romney would have his best margin in Oklahoma, as Republican John McCain did in 2008.
With 71 percent of the vote counted in Wyoming, Romney had 69 percent in that western state.
Obama topped 40 percent in just a few Oklahoma counties, including Oklahoma County, where he got 41 percent.
The Republican presidential candidate also won every county in Oklahoma in the 2004 and 2008 presidential elections and topped 65 percent of the vote in each.
In 2008, Oklahoma gave Republican presidential candidate John McCain his best percentage in the country — 65.65 percent.
Romney wasn't the first choice of Oklahoma Republicans in the March presidential primary; he finished second to former Sen. Rick Santorum.
But Oklahomans contributed $4.2 million to Romney's campaign, compared with $1.8 million to Obama's.
A Democratic presidential nominee hasn't captured Oklahoma since then-President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964.
Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt was the first to win all 77 counties in Oklahoma; he did that in 1932 and won 73 percent of the vote.
Then-President Richard Nixon, a Republican, also won every county in 1972.

While I didn't want to become haredi, I didn't like the "pareve" alternative either. Then I went to Israel and I discovered people like me! The national religious or Torahni community in Israel, while varied, is in many ways different from American modern Orthodoxy. I found a community of people that is Zionistic, committed to halakha, but also involved in wordly affairs and believe that the involvement of religious individuals in the "secular" aspects of society is a Kiddush Hashem, and is part or the redemption process (at least here in Israel). The combination does exist! Albeit, it is complex, but it exists. Good luck, Shoshan Levy (Yad Binyamin, Israel)

If someone has an axe to grind, work it out personally and if it's a community problem, work within the community to help oneself and others. But airing dirty laundry, from one's very subjective perspective, to a vast public, while profiting monetarily from it, to me is self-serving, hurtful and inappropriate.

You don't belong to either group. We invent groups and then think we should belong to one. We name "types" of people and then lament that we're not one type or another, not realizing the naming was inaccurate to begin with. Some seem to really fit a certain category well, but that's just a temporary approximation within a view. And, some people join a group and fit themselves into it well. There's neither a right answer, nor a best answer. It's all good, or if you're suffering, you can create it as all bad. It's all your creation and your choice. So, your whole essay is a well-written struggle most of us have struggled with- to organize God's world into our own set of ideas. It never works, but often it seems to, or we seem to make progress. At best, we get useful ideas or contributions to society such as awe, leadership, inspiration, connection. Thanks for adding to that.

There has been much additional discussion recently, likely because of the release of her book. I would draw your attention specifically to comments there by "SB." It is entirely possible that SB's comments are totally fabricated, but I would guess they are factually her experiences as one who personally and professionally knows Leah and her family. I realize you are saying her book addresses issues much beyond Leah's perceived interactions--whether actual or imagined--with her family and childhood community. As a member of the Orthodox community, I agree there are numerous issues--not the least of which is mental health--which are very pertinent, yet swept under the rug or otherwise improperly addressed. From what I have read, however, it is not at all clear to me that the things you say here should (should not) have been done by Leah's family and community were not (were) done in an attempt to address her concerns and problems and help her lovingly and compassionately to the utmost of their ability. I think it is very wrong to villianize her family and community--albeit anonymously--if this is in fact what is being done in the book.. I would like please to be in the running for your extra copy. In the event that I am the winner, please be certain to notify my by email if it is not obvious on the packaging where and how much to reimburse you for mailing costs. ------ We had the pleasure of hosting your congregant, Henry, this shabbos for his visit in his relocation efforts, of which he said you are aware. I understand your father is menahal at Ateret, where my granddaughter Kendyl is a graduate and now a teacher's assistant and her sister Tamar is a student. כל טוב

A problem I see with secularism is when Jewish boys and girls worship those things you speak of, such as the attainment of things and testing the limits in unhealthy ways. Even ones who have gone to religious school often do not understand the deep concepts of Judaism. However, there are devout Jews of all stripes and in your life, it might be good to seek them out: the diamonds in the rough?

West Salem, WI -- Federal and state disaster recovery programs have disbursed nearly $13.5 million dollars to date to individuals and government entities located in the State of Wisconsin. President Bush's May 11, disaster declaration made residents and business owners in 18 counties eligible for disaster assistance. Units of government in 32 counties affected by flooding and tornadoes also received grant funds. The breakdown is as follows:
West Salem, WI -- The Disaster Recovery Center operated by The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and Wisconsin Emergency Management (WEM) will be closing Friday, July 20, 2001. The center, located at the Siren High School, 24002 Fourth Avenue, is set up for homeowners affected by recent storms, flooding or tornadoes from April 10, 2001 through July 6, 2001, to talk face to face with FEMA about any concerns or questions they may have regarding their application for disaster assistance. They must call FEMA's disaster hotline at 1-- 800--462--9029 before coming to the center.
West Salem, WI -- After a disaster strikes, seeking financial assistance can seem confusing. There's often a lot of paperwork to do and questions to answer about insurance coverage and income, to determine what help is available for uninsured or underinsured losses. If you live in one of the declared counties, the first step in registering for assistance is to call the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) toll--free at 1--800--462--9029.

Ms. Sklar will focus on electronic records initiative for centers
PETALUMA – Redwood Community Health Network, a subsidiary of Redwood Community Health Coalition, has hired Lori Sklar as its new chief executive officer.
The hiring of Ms. Sklar comes as the health network and the coalition seek to more clearly define their respective roles, with the health network focused more specifically on overseeing or installing electronic health records at the numerous health centers around the North Bay, according to Nancy Oswald, chief executive officer of the coalition.
Ms. Sklar will oversee the health network, which was established about three years ago to house the electronic health records initiative.
"With health care reform, we needed to differentiate more clearly the core competencies between the two organizations," Ms. Oswald said. The coalition "provides advocacy and education for members" and the network "provides technology services."
Ms. Sklar most recently worked for Sutter Health, which she assisted with electronic health records implementation around the Bay Area.

15: Chet Lam
In a way, it's not entirely fair to lump Chet Lam into the Cantopop category – he has, for instance, produced an album in English (Camping, 2006) and, because of his outside-the-box songwriting and avoidance of major labels, he could convincingly lay claim to the indie category. But it was his simple and touching debut, Pillow Songs (2003), that first made him a hit with Cantonese listeners, with songs such as The Best Is Yet To Come catapulting him to the top of the charts. His next album, Travelogue (2003), confirmed his Cantopop popularity, bringing him awards for best new artist and a top ten ranking for album of the year in the Chinese Music Media Awards.
At the same time, Lam has managed to carve out a niche for himself with quirky songwriting that eschews Cantopop conventions. As he says with a degree of pride, he's the guy producers turn to when they want a "weird" song for the likes of Eason Chan, Sammi Cheng, or Stefanie Sun. He plays the industry game without sacrificing his originality or independence – and he's survived the claws of the local media despite being openly gay in a morally conservative society.
Lam is chuffed about making Time Out's top 20. "I'm really honoured, and I'm quite happy that pop is included and is recognised as an art," he says. "Compared to classical and jazz musicians, pop musicians are always underrated."
Pop is important, Lam reckons, because it represents society. Asked who he represents with his music, he says with a laugh: "Some outlaw – I hope".
Recommended listening: Travelogue (2003)
Chet Lams play alongside The Pancakes from Thursday 9 to Sunday 12 at the Arts Centre.

Solzhenitsyn article passes in CavendishMarch 05,2013Solzhenitsyn article
passes in Cavendish
CAVENDISH Voters overwhelmingly passed an article Monday at town meeting to assume ownership of the Universalist Stone Church, which will hold an Alexander Solzhenitysn exhibit.
The article asked voters to accept the gift of the historic Universalist Church property at 2295 Main St. in Cavendish from the Universalist Unitarian Convention of Vermont and Quebec.
The building will be owned by the town and leased to the Cavendish Historical Society.
Margo Caulfield of the Cavendish Historical Society told voters they will use the church as a museum and as a small venue for concerts lectures, theater and more. The Preservation Trust of Vermont will work with an ad hoc committee to identify funds, write a master plan and select qualified professionals to work on the building.
Caulfield said it would cost taxpayers nothing except for insurance. The Universalist Unitarian Convention of Vermont and Quebec has agreed to deed the building to the town of Cavendish, May 11, she added.MORE IN This Just InIn sifting through my ever expanding Pocket queue of things Ive been meaning to read, I found...

Offering residential utility customers in Iowa the opportunity to purchase landscape trees at discount prices
This partnership initiative is funded by Alliant Energy and administered by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources Bureau of Forestry, in partnership with the conservation boards of host counties.
Since 2001, more than 62,265 new trees have been planted throughout the state of Iowa during 189 Operation ReLeaf events.
How Operation ReLeaf helps communities
- Residential customers save energy by planting trees to shade their homes or to create a wind break.
- Local nurseries can provide low-cost, high-quality and diverse landscape trees to the community.
- Improved long-term community reforestation and energy conservation through efficient landscaping.
- Communities and counties hard hit by storm damage can receive flexible and responsive help in re-planting efforts.
How does it work?
Approximately 2,800 high-quality three- to eight-foot landscaping trees are offered for only $25 each during the spring and fall planting seasons. The trees, which retail for $65 to $125, are sold at on a first-come, first-served basis. They are purchased though a bidding process from local Iowa nurseries.

As U.S. swimmer Michael Phelps continues his historic journey toward eight gold medals in the Beijing Olympic Games, his remarkable talent and focus inspires awe even in his competitors.
BEIJING — Someone back home asked me what it was like to watch Michael Phelps swim. What about him lets you know that you are watching greatness?
I didn't have a good answer.
I mean, he's seemingly always the guy in the middle lane and he's always the guy in the lead. In fact, it was stunning, and irrelevant, seeing him finish third in the 200-meter freestyle heat Monday morning.
He was conserving energy for the manic men's 400 freestyle relay the United States would win an hour later. Still, we've grown accustomed to watching him win.

Most Read Stories
He is one of the most dependable winners ever in sports.
He is UCLA basketball under John Wooden. He is the Chicago Bulls with Michael Jordan. He is a one-man Dream Team.
And he won again here Tuesday.
Phelps broke his world record in the 200 freestyle, swimming 1 minute, 42.96 seconds. And he tied the Olympic record for most gold medals won by an athlete. Tied, among others, Mark Spitz and Carl Lewis.
"To be tied for the most Olympic gold medals is pretty amazing," he said. "I mean, the Olympics have been around for a long time. It's definitely an honor. I spent some time with Carl Lewis and exchanged some words here and there with Spitz, so that's pretty amazing."
As his name was introduced, Phelps slowly took off his white robe. Seconds before the race, he bent at the waist and flapped his arms eagle-like three times, his trademark. Then he beat his seven competitors.
Beat them easily.
Starting from Lane No. 6, because of the previously mentioned, energy-conserving swim the day before, Phelps broke his world record, beat it by almost a second.
What's it like to watch him? It's a little like watching Tiger Woods play golf. He is that focused, that removed from everyone else.
"He really keeps himself to himself," said eighth-place finisher Robbie Renwick of England. "Everyone knows not to mess with him.
"But you know what, it's pretty cool to say that I was in that race. It's not every day you say you get to swim in an Olympics final, and then to add that you swam against Michael Phelps."
Greatness was predicted for Phelps when, as a 15-year-old, he finished fifth in the 200 butterfly at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
But this?
In a sport where the difference between winner and loser is defined in hundredths of a second, he has redefined what a winner is. He's more than a winner. He's a landslide on water.
"When I watch him I see a lot of natural talent, obviously," said South Africa's Jean Basson, who finished fourth. "But he also has amazing focus. Watching him warm up. He has such amazing attention to detail. He knows exactly what he's going to do and how he's going to do it. And he knows that before every race.
"And when he gets challenged, he knows how to deviate from that plan. It seems like he can always find something else in his tank and get home faster than everyone else."
Phelps won six golds four years ago in Athens. He has three on his swim toward eight inside the Water Cube, along with three new world records.
Supposedly, the freestyle relay the U.S. won on the strength of 32-year-old Jason Lezak's record-breaking anchor leg — Lezak looked as if he would have swum through the wall to win — was Phelps' most extreme gold-medal challenge.
Now it's just a matter of whether his body and his mind can withstand the stress of all these days and all these races. (Fifty minutes after winning Tuesday's 200 free, Phelps qualified for the 200 butterfly final.)
"It's just a honor just to be swimming with that guy, to be a part of his history," Basson said. "He's doing some unbelievable things out there, making even the best swimmers in the world look at him in awe.
"To swim in a race where he went that fast? Just to be a part of that is really amazing. I mean, I've never seen an athlete like him before."
It isn't just that Phelps wins all of this gold. It's that he does it in such a variety of races. From freestyle, to breaststroke, to butterfly.
It's like a pitcher with a 100 mph fastball also being able to throw the game's best knuckleball. Even better, it is like a gold-medal decathlete also placing first in maybe eight of his 10 disciplines.
Phelps owns the inside lanes. He owns the pool. And, at 23, he says he isn't retiring after these Olympics.
So how does anyone beat him?
"You have to improve on areas of your race that are his strength, like turns," Basson said. "I mean, maybe your swim can be as fast as his, but if he gets a body length on you in the turns, it's not going to matter.
"I know a lot of people are trying hard to find ways to beat him. But it doesn't look like it's working."
Not here. Not inside the Water Cube, where Michael Phelps is redefining Olympic greatness.

Chiefs: We just wanted to see if Feely still had a farmer's tan
- Updated: August 29, 2008
The bizarre truth behind the Chiefs cruel treatment of Jay Feely finally came out today, with the team admitting that the only reason they signed him for one day was to see if the kicker was still sporting that sweet farmer's tan.
"You could say we're a little bored here, so we decided to kick Jay's head around for a bit. Well, a day." said Herm Edwards, who made this face upon telling Feely he was released.
Still unclear is why Feely, a guy whose sole responsibility is to kick the ball through the big yellow poles, has bigger arms than the Ultimate Warrior.

1999 Saab 9-5 Reviews

1999 Saab 9-5 (3 Reviews)
Love the car but man its so expensive to maintain especially now that saab do not make cars. parts are harder and harder to find which mean they are expensive. Engine is solid but leaks so much oil around the gaskets like valve cover, timing cover, oil seals, turbo gaskets. Primarily due to bad crankcase breathing system which was updated but did very little help. Still leaks. Transmission is good and engine is good i have over 230k miles on this and its still the stock engine and trans. Big repairs include timing cover gasket leak repair which includes replacement of head gasket. brake booster leaks, turbo charger, replaced alternator twice. SID display goes blank and flickers a common problem. Antitheft module alarms on its own at times if you live in a rust belt like illinois. these items corrode faster with salt on the road. but other than that i still love it and enjoy driving it. I spun out on the highway going 70mph during winter with my whole family in it and everyone walked away no one was hurt. even my saab wasnt hurt, well couple bruises on the bumpers but thats it.
Bought 1999 Saab 9-5SE used in 2000. Car was great for the first 3 years or so and then really started having various engine and electrical problems. Only had a little over 60,000 miles on it when I finally said enough is enough as the car had quit starting on a regular basis and I just spent $2,000 on repairs about 6 months earlier. Fun to drive but hard on the pocketbook.
Great car, awesome on gas, sport feel when you want / need it. Fuel savings when driver modestly. A few small electrical mysteries, that have come and gone by them selves. Plenty of 3rd party replacement parts available. This is my 3rd Saab, and loving it.

historians often rely on written documents and artifacts covering hundreds of years of human history history a number of primary sources to better grasp study
past events that have shaped our world today. During
this period, human civilization has changed in different places
in various locations, but the Earth itself has generally remained
the same. Paleontologists, who study ancient
history, have a much tougher job. They dig up physical evidence,
like fossils, spanning millions of
Over millennia, the Earth has gone through many dramatic changes
in its landforms, bodies of water, climate, and plant and animal
species. As a result of these changes, rock and passing life
forms layered over those that came before. By sifting through these
layers, paleontologists can get a glimpse of how the Earth evolved.
Digging in the dirt and finding stuff is just one part of the
job. Paleontologists must then carefully examine, compare, and interpret
the meaning of these findings. Often, the interpretation of one scientist
may not agree with another.
A recent example of such a disagreement was published in
a scientific journal, PLoS Biology. Some scientists have theorized
that bird-like pterosaurs, like the "pterodactyl," which lived around 230 million years ago, may have skimmed the water
surfaces to feed. However, the recent study
disputes that claim. These scientists used models, based on modern
water-skimming birds and pterosaur skeletons, to test the theory. They
found that the pterosaurs simply were not built in a way that would
have allowed them to skim water as some modern birds do.
Using physical evidence, making and testing theories, and building
scientific knowledge is an ongoing process. Paleontologists know there
is still a lot about the prehistoric world that remains mysterious.
Even so, they have also pieced together a picture of our prehistoric
world that they feel is pretty close to what really happened. In this
week's lesson, you will take your own journey through time, to see
how paleontologists believe the Earth evolved and to better understand
how they piece together the fossil evidence they find.
Begin your journey through four billion years at with the Field
Through Time Interactive. Read the introduction, continue to
the brief explanation of geologic time, and then Start at the
Beginning with
the Precambrian Period. As you travel through, think about how the
pictured fossils have helped to tell the story of what the Earth
was like during each of these periods.
Read the Precambrian overview, and then continue to explore the period
by browsing the Photo Gallery. In the gallery, you will see
evidence of meteorites, ocean vents, stromatolites, prokaryotes, eukaryotes,
and the Earth's first animals. When done, continue to the next section
to review the Cambrian/Ordovician Periods.
As you will discover, shallow seas covered the Earth and gave
birth to an explosion of life on the planet. To continue your exploration
of these eras, click the red dots on each of the creatures illustrated
in this ancient, underwater world. Also, stop by the Photo Gallery
to view some of the fossils found that show the clues scientists used
to hypothesize about this time period and the creatures that lived
on Earth then.
In the Silurian/Devonian Periods, the Earth was greening up as plants
began to cover the planet's barren landscape. As you explore these
eras, you will see how the animal species became more complex. From
what you read here, how did the evolution of "vascular plants" give
plant-life the ability to spread beyond the water's edge? In what ways
are these animals different from those in the previous eras?
During the Carboniferous Period, hovering
around the planet's equator provided the perfect climate for large,
swampy forests on the continents. What does "tetrapod" mean? What kind
of animal is an arthropod? Can you name any tetrapods and arthropods
that live today? In what kinds of habitats do you often find insects?
In the Permian Era, you will learn about Pangaea. Why do you think
varied habitats would give rise to more plant and animal species?
The Mesozoic Period included the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous
periods-better known as the Age of Dinosaurs. It was also the era
that gave rise to birds, mammals, and flowering plants. What exactly
is a gymnosperm? Do you know of any gymnosperm species that live in
your neighborhood today? Why did some plants depend on insects, and
vice versa, to survive and spread?
Following the change in climate and the extinction of most dinosaur
species, the Tertiary Period was the Age of Mammals. How did the shifts
in the continents affect the speciation of mammals and other life forms?
What types of mammals featured in this section do you recognize in
today's animals? Can you name any angiosperm species that live today?
The Quaternary Period marked the modern ice age. In this section,
you will meet some of the well-known mammals that lived during that
era, including the woolly mammoth, short-faced bear, and early forms
of the modern bison and human.
next segment of your journey will take you to the American Museum of
Natural History's PaleontOLogy section: The
Big Dig.
If you want to and your teacher allows you, you can Join
OLogy and create an account (your real name is not required).
By doing this, you can sign-in and collect electronic fact cards
as you do the activities here. If you cannot create an account,
you will still be able read the cards as you do the activities
(you just will not be able to collect them).
To open an OLogy card, click on each red asterisk next
to key names or topics. This will open a pop-up window. Use
the bottom-right arrow to flip the card over. Click the various icons
at the top of the card to learn more about the featured topic. If you
have signed in with an OLogy account, then click "Collect Me" in the
top-left corner to save the card to your collection. When you are done
with the card, click it close.
To start with, meet a couple of real paleontologists
in the section, Going
Gobi. Here, meet Mike and Mark who traveled to Mongolia to
dig up fossils. Take a peek into their scrapbook to see how Roy
Chapman Andrews was the museum's first paleontologist to discover
important fossils in Mongolia. Keep following Mike and Mark in their
Journey to Mongolia, Fossil Hunting, and through A Typical Day.
Next, play the Layers
of Time Fossil Game. Here, Sterling Nesbitt
explains more about how paleontologists look for fossils. Click
Start to
discover how life's history is written in the rocks. By comparing
what paleontologists find in the different layers of sediment,
they can piece together the puzzle of the planet's evolution.
Following the explanation, play the game starting at
Level 1. As you are able to complete that level, continue to Level
2 and Level 3. At each level, make sure to review each set of OLogy
collectible cards.
Lastly, check out the Fighting
Dinosaurs. In this case, you will see how freezing time in
an instant reveals exactly how this pair of dinosaurs died and what
they were probably doing at the time. What kinds of clues were buried
with them that helped paleontologists figure out their story?

"Avoid the Station Eschersheimer Tor at Night" Top 5 Page for this destination Frankfurt am Main Warnings Or Dangers Tip by Weissdorn
Frankfurt am Main Warnings and Dangers: 43 reviews and 20 photos
Before you are warned, you should know that the Frankfurt Metro System (VGF / RMV) is reliable and safe. It's just that there's one station that sort of invites petty criminals because of its shape: the Eschersheimer Tor Station. It has very long narrow, angled pedestrian tunnels and equally long side connecting tunnels, which make security surveillance (in addition to surveillance cameras) difficult. Thieves and robbers are aware of this. This is why it is a pretty good idea to avoid getting on or off the U-1, U-2 or U-3 at this station after 8:00 p.m. It's better to walk the two blocks and use the subway at the Hauptwache Station (even if you're going in the other direction), because security is better.

Yunguyo Group
The loan they're taking out will benefit a variety of small businesses, including the one that Rosalía is a part of. She tells us that she joined Pro Mujer three years ago, becoming interested through a representative who came to visit her at home. Currently, she weaves sweaters, which she says she learned to make from her mother who used to knit at home, slowly but surely building her own small weaving business.
The loan she's taking out now is to increase her working capital by buying wool from the markets in the city of El Alto. After production, she sells her sweaters by the dozen. This line of work allows her to support her home as much as she can, as she is married and has three children. When asked what she likes about Pro Mujer, she said she likes the savings and group lending.
El crédito que sacaran beneficiara a pequeñas microempresarias con distintos rubros, donde la señora Rosalía es parte integrante, ella indica que hace tres años que integra Pro Mujer, ingresando por invitación de una promotora de la institución que fue a visitarle a su casa. En la actualidad ella tiene un negocio de confección de chompas, cuenta que este negocio lo emprendió de su madre quien tejía en su domicilio y paso a paso fue implementando su propio microempresa de tejido.
El crédito que ahora sacará es para el aumento de capital (compra de lana) que adquirirá de las ferias de la ciudad de El Alto, posteriormente a la elaboración lo comercializará por docena a pedido. Esta forma de trabajo le permite generar recursos para apoyar en lo posible a su hogar pues ella es casada y tiene tres hijos.
Cuando se le consulta qué le gusta de Pro Mujer, ella responde que le gusta el ahorro y compartir.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Local team grooves into winner's circle
Just under two years ago, the cloverleaf become more than just a symbol of good luck. It represents sacrifice, hard work and now, victory!
The Dancing Clover Leafs were created by Tunica County 4-H as an outlet for young dancers in the area. They didn't shuffle around, though. The group quickly got moving and has captured several accolades in their last competitive effort.
Harvest Time
Christopher Hood and J. Robinson cut soybeans on land in the south end of Tunica County on Wednesday, Aug. 27.
Officials brace for storm
While the Gulf Coast braced on Tuesday in preparation for Hurricane Isaac's landfall, local officials were pondering the impact this latest tropical storm would have here at home as remnants of the storm began their slow trek northward.
Around 4 p.m. Tuesday, Tunica County Director of Emergency Operations Randy Stewart said the effects of the storm were not expected to be serious for Tunica and the immediate area.
County initiates redistricting process
Redistricting in Tunica County will now be in the hands of Ellis Turnage, an attorney from Cleveland, Miss.
Board President James Dunn recommended Turnage at the supervisors' Aug. 15 meeting and proposed that he be hired for a sum not to exceed $25,000.
Board attorney Andy Dulaney explained that redistricting became necessary when the 2010 census was conducted. Population shifts within the five supervisor districts made Tunica County out of compliance with certain aspects of the Voting Rights Act. Prior to county elections in 2011, officials had begun the process. Dulaney said Tunica County had been included but was recently dismissed from a redistricting lawsuit on the district level.

Friday night is usually DVD night here, and we normally try to pick something that we can watch as a family. But since our 8-year-old daughter was having a sleep-over at the neighbors', we were able to watch something a little more adult. We chose Hustle & Flow, which we really liked. Terrence Howard's performance was excellent.
Since we were planning to eat in front of the TV, I chose something simple: Spicy Red Pepper Hummus stuffed in whole wheat pita bread with lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, and a few calamata olives.
- 3-4 cloves garlic
- 3 cups (or 2 15-ounce cans) cooked chickpeas
- cooking liquid from the beans (or water)
- juice of 1/2-1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons tahini (omit if cutting fat)
- 1/2 tsp. cumin
- Harrisa, or other hot pepper sauce, to taste*
- chipotle chili powder (optional)
- salt (to taste)
- 10 ounce jar of roasted red peppers
- Throw the garlic into a running food processor. Add the chickpeas and begin processing. Add the lemon juice and tahini. (I used half of a very large yet mild homegrown lemon. For regular lemons, I'd start with half, check the flavor, and add more if needed.) If needed, add 1/4 cup bean cooking liquid or water, just enough so that the chickpeas become a smooth paste. Add the cumin, the harrisa, chipotle powder, salt, and half of the roasted red peppers. Process until smooth. Taste for spiciness and add more harrisa as needed.
- Add the remaining roasted red peppers and pulse to coarsely chop. Enjoy as a dip or sandwich filling!

My Reincarnation: The Ultimate Father-Son Story
To me, My Reincarnation is primarily a film about a father and a son. In fact, just following Father's Day, it brings to mind that this is one of the best documentaries ever made about the father-son relationship.

Re: Our Forums' FICO High Achievers: Who has at least one FICO Score of 760 or above?[ Edited ]
10-26-2010 03:51 PM - edited 10-26-2010 03:52 PM
Back in May I posted regarding my journey to recover from a 57 point drop in my TU score (768 to 711!) thanks to a likely re-bucket.
I noted then I had finally crossed back into the 760 Zone.
I was still frustrated that the recovery was taking seemingly forever. I also wanted to re-fi my home to eliminate an ARM.
I took a flier that rates would continue to drop and waited to begin the re-fi.
In the meantime I tried the one thing I hadn't done in an effort to further raise my score. I actually used multiple credit cards, putting a couple of hundred on each of three different ones. I then paid them down leaving a hundred or so balance on each one.
End result; I started the re-fi process and waited interminably for Wells Fargo to agree to subordinate a second.
When it came time to actually sign off on the new mortgage I really had no idea what scores the lender saw?
Apparently I timed the useage and pay downs perfectly?
MyFico Quarterly Monitoring shows overall they pulled a total of FOUR reports over the course of the re-fi. Two in July and two more in September.
On the last report dated 9/25 included in the loan package, All 3 CRA's now listed the dreaded 008 code AKA "too many inquiries in the last 12 months" as a scoring factor. (I wonder why?)
Regardless of the inquiry hits, Ex and EQ were 789 and 782. TU was 796!
Sure makes me wonder what those scores would have been without all the inquiries?
Because your FICO® score is exceptionally high, there are no actionable negative factors present with your score.
