Michael Evan Anderson -- a 19-year-old student at the University of Arizona -- tragically fell to his death while trying to climb the rooftop tower of his dorm on April 4, 2014. If this story isn't upsetting enough, the media decided to use his death as some sort of a macabre celebratory attack on marijuana, citing reports that he had smoked some pot before he pulled the stunt. Marijuana, they then "proved," was the cause of death and should be prohibited for all use -- even medical.
We're here today to say, slow down fear-mongering media! An illuminating report from the coroner's office released on Monday states the following according to the Arizona Daily Star: "Toxicology results show Michael Evan Anderson, 19, had a blood-alcohol level more than twice the legal limit (allowed for drivers) when he died."
If that wasn't clear enough for anyone, here is what the chief medical examiner reported:
"Clearly he was intoxicated and that one (alcohol) is going to have the largest effect on his behavior, more so than marijuana would," said Dr. Gregory Hess, chief medical examiner for Pima County. "The bottom line for us is this is a young man under the influence, primarily of alcohol, and was climbing that structure for whatever reason and fell."
So let's leave it at that. This is a tragic, drunken stunt that should not, and factually cannot, be blown into an anti-marijuana argument. Let all of our thoughts be with the young man's family and friends, not in creating propaganda.

Kain Colter is a Northwestern University QB, but he's a lot more than that. The football recruit arrived at the school hoping to become an orthopedic surgeon, but now is pursuing a psychology degree. Colter is also strongly stating his case for a college football player's union, according to Sports Illustrated on Feb. 18, 2014.
On Tuesday, the Northwestern QB testified that he was essentially paid to play football via his scholarship. The National Labor Relations Board opened the hearing on a bid that is seeking to form the first union for college athletes in U.S. history.
"It's a job, there is no way around it — it's a job," said Colter, a 21-year-old senior whose college career is over.
Asked why Northwestern gave him a scholarship of $75,000 a year, he responded: "To play football. To perform an athletic service." Later, he said players earn the money, in part, "by sacrificing our bodies."
Colter continued to characterize playing college football as a job and that schools make that incredibly clear to incoming players. He stated time and time again that universities are clear that athletics have a higher priority than academics.
Kain Colter is the co-founder of the College Athletes Players Association. He said that players put in 40 to 50 hour weeks on football before and during the season while also trying to study and go to class. He gave information that said during training in August, players usually start practice at 8:00 a.m. and don't finish until after 10:00 p.m.
The bid by Colter is supported by the United Steelworkers. There is a lot more still to come before a college player's union is ever formed, but there are plenty of people pushing for it.
"Academics always trumps athletics at Northwestern," he said. "Northwestern is not a football factory."

"NCIS" kicks off its 12th season in just a few weeks with "Twenty Klicks," and it's going to put a couple of team members possibly in danger. On Thursday, Aug. 28, CBS released an official description and the first promotional photos teasing the first case of the season – and it is taking two of the team to Russia.
There was no big cliffhanger to end "NCIS" season 11. Instead, the finale's focus was on honoring Ralph Waite and Gibbs finding out his father died, which meant the case took a backseat as it should have. That also means that when the new season begins, there's nothing pressing to resolve, but it sounds like that should be a good thing because the team is going to be trying to find two missing members.
In the season 12 premiere, Gibbs and McGee travel to Russia to safely escort home an NCIS computer engineer connected to classified intel. However, that mission is compromised and they must go off the grid to avoid a Russian mercenary group hunting them. Back in D.C., the team frantically uses every asset and inter-agency contact they have to try to find them. But perhaps the most intriguing part of the press release is someone very familiar listed in the guest cast. Rudolf Martin is listed as Ari Haswari.
The first "Twenty Klicks" promotional photo (above, to the left) shows Tony, Bishop and Vance in D.C. at Tony's desk. You know something serious is going on when Vance is involved.
"NCIS" season 12 premieres Tuesday, Sept. 23 at 8 p.m. on CBS. What do you think of the first details and first photo for "Twenty Klicks"?

Women's Barracks
Originally published in 1950, this account of life among female Free French soldiers in a London barracks during World War II sold four million copies in the United States alone, and many more millions worldwide. Women's Barracks is based on the real-life experiences of the author, Tereska Torres, who escaped from occupied France, arrived as a refugee in London, and joined other exiled Frenchwomen enlisting in Charles DeGaulle's army, then stationed in Britain awaiting an invasion of their homeland by Allied forces.
But Women's Barracks is no ordinary war story. The grim setting of an urban military barracks—with its freezing dorms, rationed food, and unbecoming regulation underwear—became the setting for one of the steamiest novels of its time. Leaving "normal" civilian life behind, the women enter an all-female realm, where passionate attachments soon form—between older experienced women and young innocents, between butch officer types and their femmes subordinates. And for those with more traditional leanings, there was a city full of soldiers to be had—sometimes two or three at a time.
Despite a tone that is frank rather than lurid, Women's Barracks was banned for obscenity in several states. It was also denounced by the House Select Committee on Current Pornographic Materials in 1952 as an example of how the paperback industry was "promoting moral degeneracy"; not one of the committee members could even bring himself to read the offending passages aloud for the Congressional record. But the novel became a record-breaking bestseller, and inspired a whole new genre: lesbian pulp.
"This special edition of Women's Barracks makes possible a rich new cultural discussion. Many of the themes of our present-day queer and feminist debates are here—the body, desire, questions of innocence and engagement with the world. As a lesbian historian, as a citizen of a war-torn world, simply as a reader, I found this 1950 novel, considered obscene in its own time, moving, arousing, and deeply interesting."
"Tereska Torres's story speaks in powerful counterpoint to 1950s contemporaries like Norman Mailer, Henry Miller, and James Jones about sexuality, providing a much-needed woman's point of view on contentious matters. It's also a great read."
"Women's Barracks stands not only as a classic in our literary heritage, but as a fascinating view of the intensity and resilience of the lesbian spirit."

MLSSoccer.com reported on Jan. 29 that Los Angeles Galaxy captain Robbie Keane will be ready to play for Galaxy's season opener. This is great news for Keane and for all Galaxy fans. The Galaxy captain made the most goals for the club last year and will hopefully continue to score impressive shots to move the club forward and hopefully make it to the playoffs once more.
Because LA Galaxy was eliminated early on in the playoff race, Keane took advantage of the longer offseason to finally get the achilles tendon surgery he had needed. He knew that it would give him proper time to heal and be ready to play in time for the season opener for the Galaxy. His achilles tendons often caused him injury which lead him to miss many matches for both LA Galaxy and Ireland's National Team. This is something no one wanted, and hopefully with the surgery he will have less injuries and more time on the pitch.
Over the break he had been in Ireland working on getting his coaching credentials. While out there he also did some rehab with the Irish national team trainer. He did not want to miss time to help his road to recovery. He is now back in Los Angeles but is taking it slow; he does not want to aggravate his surgery and wants to be fully fit for the opener.
LA Galaxy's 2014 home opener will be against Real Salt Lake and take place at The StubHub Center in Carson, Ca. on Mar. 8.

One local woman recalls her childhood battle with the virus to mark World Polio Day, Wednesday, Oct. 24
October 26, 2012 | Vol. 116 -- No. 27
Global Polio Eradication Initiative
A young boy in Nigeria receives the oral polio vaccine.
Polio. People in their 50s and 60s can instantly recall their childhoods and the fear of the polio epidemic. Everyone stood in the long lines to receive the liquid vaccine, often dropped on a sugar cube.
Virginia Fitzner was 11 years old in 1950, before Jonas Salk invented the first vaccine in 1952. In her small farming community in rural Montana, Fitzner knew about polio but it hadn't affected her community.
"It was feared that you could get it, but it wasn't real common," she said this week from her home outside of Cheney.
That summer, when she developed a fever her doctor thought...

I love researching cemeteries and strive for accuracy. If you see an error or have additional info you want added, do not hesitate to contact me through
Suggest A Correction
(not through Messages or E-mail) and I'll be more than happy to make the changes. (Note: Suggest A Correction is accessible through the Edit tab.)
Note that Find A Grave, though a valuable resource for genealogists, is not primarily a genealogical website. Certain highly detailed genealogical data (e.g. census transcriptions) is more suited for sites like Rootsweb.
Some people I have entered are my relatives; most are not. In documenting graves, I contribute to this site's growth and completeness. My goal is often to photograph an entire cemetery, but in large cemeteries this can be a daunting task; in such cases I just randomly photograph markers that catch my eye.
Some have asked why I am doing this. I'm doing this to honor the memories of the dearly departed, to give relatives who live far away the chance to visit the graves of their loved ones online when they can't do so in person, and to assist genealogists by providing information unavailable elsewhere. No disrespect is intended; indeed, I enter the data and post the photos with only the most respectful and honorable of motives.
I live in Taiwan and often travel to places like Hong Kong, Thailand and Malaysia to photograph cemeteries.
To protect the privacy of the living, I do not input pre-need graves, and I remove the names of the living from obituary information I post.
In general, if the stone does not show a birthdate, but instead an age,
I do not calculate the birthdate from the age
due to varying methods of calculations used, instead leaving the birthdate field blank. I make exceptions for my own direct ancestors and those for whom I can find reliable documentation. I can't stress this enough:
If you wish me to add a birthdate to a headstone with only a death date and an age, please tell me HOW YOU KNOW the person's birthdate. Otherwise I will SUMMARILY IGNORE that request!
Plus, I
can't make links to children or siblings
; only to spouses and parents. Such requests WILL BE IGNORED.
And when providing me with cities or towns of birth and/or death in the US,
please tell me the county
. Thank you!
As for transferring "ownership" of memorials, I am more than happy to do so if you are a relative. But please make the requests reasonable, rather than saying something like "Give me all your Smiths." This is Find A Grave, not Go Fish! :)
Enjoy your graving!

Deare Couple in India
Thank you for photographing and entering the headstone for Lt Col Charles Russell Deare and his wife, Catherine, in Calcutta, India. I'm fascinated that someone who might be one of my distant ancestors was buried in such an exotic location. And what a great headstone, with detail about how he died and that his brother paid for the memorial. I wonder what happened to their daughter, Charlotte. Thanks, again!

RE: Happy Valley Cemetery HK
Many thanks for that - although I do wonder if, due to the cause of his death (Enteric Fever) he might have been buried in a burry, or even cremated?
I went through the website you recommended but could not see anything on there myself. According to his death registration his father was informed on 9th May that he had died in HK.

You messaged me about a month ago regarding a burial in the above cemetery which I had, it appears, incorrectly thought belonged to my second grand uncle Henry (Harry) Bradford. I seem to have lost the original message which probably disappeared when I removed the burial record from the cemetery. Could you please remind me of the name of the chap who is actually buried in grave number 6811?
Many thanks, Yvonne

Your Gladys Aylward picture
Hi Chris,
I would like to make a simple laminated jigsaw puzzle from a Gladys Aylward photograph in order to teach her story to some students - the idea being to tell her story in parts, and after each part is told I add another piece of the puzzle until finally her completed image is displayed.
May I copy the image from your 'find a grave' posting to do this please? It's the best image I can find of Gladys on the web.
Kind regards

On the Ground: Caroline Decides
by Jonathan Miller
Pro-gas drilling sign outside of Caroline, NY. Photo by Jonathan Miller.
Greetings from New York's scenic Southern Tier, where the question of the season is not "iPad or Kindle?" but "To frack or not to frack?"
If you haven't heard, fracking is a controversial gas drilling technique formally known as "horizontal high-volume hydraulic fracturing." Unlike conventional drilling, in which energy companies basically poke straws into underground pools of natural gas, fracking involves squirting millions of gallons of chemically treated water into perforated L-shaped pipes to release tiny gas bubbles trapped in layers of rock buried thousands of feet below the surface. South-central New York sits on top of the Marcellus and Utica shale formations, both of which contain trillions of cubic feet of gas.
Fracking has been going on for several years in other states, including nearby Pennsylvania, but not in New York. In 2008, then-governor David Paterson declared a moratorium on the process until the state environmental agency completed a thorough review of its social and environmental impacts.
Few issues have riled people here the way this one has. Public hearings have been raucous, with pro-drilling and anti-drilling forces busing in from far and wide. Arguments range from the highly technical to the deeply emotional. Recently the state's environmental commissioner admitted that the whole business was much more complicated than he'd expected, and it may take another year before the state can start issuing permits.
For policy makers in Washington, domestic natural gas is a crucial component of a cleaner and more politically palatable energy mix. For the cash-starved New York state government, the prospect of an upstate gas boom is like manna from heaven. For many environmentalists and public health advocates, it's an unfolding disaster. For rural communities sitting high above the gas deposits, it's decision time.
State law gives local governments almost no power to regulate the gas and oil industries, but more than 50 New York counties, cities and towns have recently passed complete or partial bans on fracking. In many places, the discussion has been painful, revealing deep divisions between neighbors and even family members.
For Groundwork, I've been following the debate in the town of Caroline, New York, just a few miles southeast of where I live in Ithaca. With a population of just under 3,000, Caroline is divided in all the ways America is divided: rich and poor, white collar and blue collar, highly educated and not so educated, liberal and conservative, farmer and commuter, newcomer and old-timer, snowmobiler and cross-country skier. Zoom in a bit and you see how those dividing lines tangle and overlap.
How does a place like Caroline come to a collective decision about its future?
Mainly it talks. Then it votes.
Aaron Snow, a Town Board candidate, talks with local residents before the November election.
Photo by Jonathan Miller.
Over the last several months, I've attended meeting after meeting, listening in as residents try to convince each other of their positions. I've sat down to talk with community leaders and others with a stake in the outcome. The tone throughout has been civil, but the barbs have often been sharp. Pro-drillers accuse the anti-drillers of NIMBY-ism and fear-mongering. Anti-drillers accuse the pro-drillers of putting their economic interests over the will of the majority.
As I watched the process unfold, it became clear that few minds were changing, and the decision would have to be made at the ballot box. The key was the five-member Town Board. Three members favored drilling while two opposed it. But two of the pro-drilling incumbents were up for re-election, and their challengers were from the anti-drilling camp. On November 8, more than half the town's voters turned out for the most anticipated local election in memory. The results were dramatic. But are they the end of the story? Stay tuned!

Clipping your cat's claws might seem like a daunting task. She doesn't like you playing with her toes, you're afraid you'll cut her claws too short and hurt her, and who knows how she might react to that when she's already irritated with you handling her toes? However, there are some things you can do to help ease the situation, and perhaps clip your cat's claws more easily.
The ASPCA recommends that, if it's your first time trying to clip your cat's claws, you'll want to get her comfortable with you handling her paws before you do anything else with her. One way to do this is to sit with her when she's calm, settled, and maybe even sleepy, and give her treats for letting you handle her paws without struggling. The treats you use should be something that you only give your cat on rare occasions, because you want to give her a fantastic reward for letting you handle her paws. You might want to give her one treat per paw, or maybe even one treat per claw that she lets you extend. The point is to make her associate having her paws touched, and ultimately getting her claws clipped, with good things.
This is something you might want to do several times before you actually clip your cat's claws. She needs to be comfortable with you handling her paws, because any struggling might cause you to hurt her. One other thing to keep in mind is that getting her used to you handling her paws gives you a good chance to study her claws and learn where her quick is. The quick is the pink part of her claw where the blood vessels and living tissue are. If you cut the quick, not only will you hurt her, but she'll bleed. So learn where the quicks in her claws are to reduce that risk.
When you decide it's time to clip your cat's claws, gather your clippers, special treats, and a little first aid kit containing gauze and styptic powder (to stop bleeding if necessary), and put them close at hand. Make sure your cat's in the same relaxed and sleepy mood she was in when you were teaching her to tolerate having her paws handled. Take her to her favorite place, perhaps her favorite chair, or spot on the couch, or just sit with her if she's already in one of her favorite spots. She's less likely to get upset that way.
For a more in-depth explanation of how to safely and easily clip your cat's claws, check out the ASPCA's article on claw clipping here.
You can clip your cat's claws with a regular nail clipper, but you probably shouldn't. Petsmart and Petco have actual claw clippers that will make a cleaner cut more easily. They also carry the styptic powder you might need if you accidentally cut a quick. This will make the whole job easier and faster, and further reduce your risk of making a mistake.
So, now that you've taught your cat to tolerate having her paws handled, and you have all your equipment within easy reach, it's time to actually clip her claws. The first few times you do this, you may want to give her a treat for each paw, or even for each claw, you successfully clip. This may be especially important if you accidentally cut her quick, because you don't want her to associate the clippers with pain. If you're careful, this shouldn't be a problem, but it does sometimes happen anyway. Go here to read about how to handle bleeding claws. When you're finished, give her another treat as a reward, and let her go.
Remember to clip your cat's claws about every ten days to two weeks. If you've tried everything and she just won't let you do it, perhaps you can get claw covers for her, or have a groomer or your vet do it. But don't fight with your cat just to clip her claws. That's a good way to under up hurting her, and getting hurt yourself.

I just got back from a volksmarch, and have decided I am FREEZING. It's really not that cold right now…maybe the high 30s and low 40s F, but it was misty and foggy, muddy and yucky…just typical Belgian weather really. I'm debating whether to throw some logs on the fire and brew me a [...]

Perhaps it's because of a generational gap or just a plan difference in style, but legendary producer Quincy Jones does not dig the music of Lil Wayne. In an interview with The National published on April 5, the 80-year old explained how times have changed when it comes to the world of music and how he just can't get a feel for Lil Wayne in particular.
Jones was not taking a jab at Lil Wayne as an artist, but explained how the music in his era and the people he worked with was is just different than some of the popular music of today.
"Let's get real, man. When you come from the era of Ray Charles, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin, Frank Sinatra and Michael Jackson, it gets hard to get used to Lil Wayne. I just can't handle it. There are some good singers out there. Mary J. Blige can sing, so can Mariah Carey and Christina Aguilera. I know who they are. I also know who they aren't, too."
Jones is not alone. The occasional listener also has a tough time grasping the music, but that doesn't stop Lil Wayne from delivering in his style and producing music for those who do grasp his expression. Although the rapper also known as Weezy isn't on Quincy Jones' list of good singers, even Jones can't deny the success Lil Wayne has had in the industry.
Jones and Weezy may be complete opposites when it comes to music, but the two do have something in common. They both have best-selling artists who have made records for them.

Here's something you don't see every day - it's a concept based on a concept, and it comes from London coachbuilder Prindiville. Prindiville's eight-only Limited Edition Lamborghini Aventador is already on sale, and it's so keen to get its hands on the Aventador J Concept which Lamborghini showed in Geneva in March, that it has released this concept based on the original concept. Power is up from 700 to 805 bhp, but every panel, from the front bumper to the rear diffuser and rear wing is reshaped and lightened. Prindiville claims its J will sprint from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in around 2.5 seconds, which would make it one of the fastest four-wheelers on public roads anywhere.Read More
Here's one from this year's International Geneva Motor Show you may have overlooked. We first caught a whiff of EDAG's Light Car concept in the September of 2009, when the open source project was in preliminary development. At Geneva this year, EDAG unveiled the third member of what's fast becoming a full range of all-electric Light Cars: the EDAG Light Car - Sharing. Hmm. Let's call it the LC-S for short. A markedly different animal to the Light Cars before it, the LC-S is aimed at inner-city car hire fleets.Read More
Hollywood isn't the only industry fascinated with remakes, reimagining and sequels these days. The motor world has its share of revivals and updates too. Case in point, Italian car maker Alfa Romeo and the Milan-based coachbuilding firm Carrozzeria Touring have teamed to unveil their latest collaboration: the Alfa Romeo Disco Volante 2012. Created as part of Alfa Romeo's centenary celebration, the Disco Volante 2012 dips back into the past to draw inspiration from one of the true classics of 20th century motoring, the 1952 Alfa Romeo C52 Disco Volante. However, where the original was a concept series with a run of only four, the 2012 version will be offered for sale later this year as a very limited series two-seater coupé that, in the words of Alfa Romeo, blend the ingredients of "innovation, emotion and aerodynamic properties into a timeless and essential shape".Read More
Whether you think the Bugatti Veyron is the pinnacle of sports car development or agree with Professor Gordon Murray that it's the "most pointless exercise on the planet," we all somehow seem drawn to the name and its continuing deeds. This week saw the unveiling of another Bugatti milestone, the 1200 bhp Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse - the roadster version of the world's fastest production car is also the world's fastest roadster at 255 mph. Great picture library of this quite arresting automobile.Read More
If you're going to design a sports car, you could do worse than going back to the classics and AC Cars has done just that with the unveiling of its Zagato AC 378 GT at the Geneva Motor Show. It's a rolling tribute to not only 111 years of the AC Cars marque, but also its Anglo-Italian heritage and its long relationship with the Zagato design group going back to the AC Ace Zagato of 1957. The supercar, which will be sold in the UK for GBP89,990 (approx US$140,870) and Germany for EUR109,990 (US$144,970), is also part of AC Cars' relaunch on the European market as a specialized car maker after a decade of false starts.

Already one the world's fastest cars, the Koenigsegg Agera R has been reworked for the 2013 model year, raising peak horsepower from 1115 to 1140 bhp, giving it a top speed of 440 km/h (273.4 mph) - Koenigsegg intends to prove it sometime soon. The world's fastest production car is the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport at 431 km/h. Lots of new features in the new car. Read More
Nissan unveiled its new Hi-Cross Concept at the Geneva Motor Show this week. It's unclear if the concept will become an actual model - or if Nissan even really has room for another crossover - but the car does show a potential design direction for future models. It also shows how seven people and a hybrid powertrain can fit neatly into a relatively small crossover. Read More
Hyundai's 80 kW four-seater i-oniq electric sports hatchback concept rolled out at Salon International de L'Automobile this week, using a range-extending petrol engine to boost the electric-only range of 120 km (75 miles) to beyond 700 km (435 miles) at just 45 g/km of CO2. Big gallery.Read More
It may not be the sexiest electric vehicle on display at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, but the Mercedes-Benz Vito E-Cell is definitely one of the hardest working.

Alfresco Grows Distribution via LGPL
John Newton, founder and CTO of the Alfresco Software content management system (CMS) company, has announced a licensing change from GPL to LGPL for the software. The change should go into effect the next Alfresco community version.
Newton writes in his blog that his company could easily develop his software and brand with help of the General Public License. But now the time comes to open up the license to proprietary integration, hence to turn a back on GPL. The advantage of the Lesser General Public License (LGPL) is the ability to link in the Alfresco repository without affecting proprietary software linking it. The total switch to LGPL also makes it easier to link in LGPL components Alfresco already has, such as the Hibernate database service and jBPM for workflow.
The Berkeley graduate sees the licensing change as "more of an opportunity to be a platform beyond individual applications, particularly with the emergence of CMIS," which was introduced in the product mid-2009. With the OASIS standardized Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS), CMSs can share their contents. "We do this," says Newton, "in the spirit of making Alfresco available as a CMIS platform and a general ECM platform to build content applications without inhibiting your business opportunities. What we hope is that your applications will build demand for Alfresco services from Alfresco Software, particularly in larger enterprise environments."
Thus linking in closed software is a revenue source for Alfresco. It is a bit of a stretch to the attitude that customers with open source can save themselves a lot of money, as Newton had suggested for the Alfresco Community Edition 3.2.
The Group 451 business analysis venture is strengthened by Alfresco's decision in its observation that the "dominant GPL open source license may be fading from favor among commercial open source software players." Not to say that open source software is becoming less favored. On the contrary, as Jay Lyman of Group 451 notes, "much of the movement we�re seeing away from the GPL has to do with the desire and opportunity to place open source software alongside, within, on top of or otherwise with proprietary software."

Some people are all tequila, all the time (and if you don't believe that, check out the National Tequila Examiner), while others are somewhat less dedicated. But when it comes to Cinco de Mayo, most agree that a good Margarita is a must.
Margaritas will be abundant for those heading out to one of the many Cinco de Mayo festivities - Southwest Boulevard, anyone? - but there's no need to feel deprived if you're staying closer to home. Try one of these 5 great Margaritas to liven up your fiesta.
If you prefer the classic Margarita, then the Best Margarita Recipe is for you. It's quick, it's simple, and delicious. Make sure you have plenty of fresh limes on hand. It's just not the same with bottled juice. And don't even think about getting out the Rose's.
Planning a party? Then it's time to make easy Margaritas for a crowd. It doesn't matter whether you prefer your drinks frozen or not, the recipe works well either way. It's not actually easier than the Best Margarita, but if you're serving a crowd, it's much more convenient to make them by the pitcher.
Did you succumb to the temptation to buy a flat of those delicious strawberries at the City Market last weekend? Then the Strawberry Margarita is the Margarita for you. Break out the blender!
There's one in every crowd - the one that insists on having a beer, no matter what the event. The Beer Margarita may be the answer. What's that, it sounds strange? It may not be a 'real' Margarita, but beer and lime are a favorite combination. Just ask anyone who has ever wedged a lime into their Corona.
You're looking for something a little more exotic, you say? Check out the Mango Margarita. It adds sweet mango nectar and orange juice for a tropical touch.

"Dive in the Vampire Bund" is a manga spinoff of "Dance in the Vampire Bund" by Nozomu Tamaki. Princess Mina Tepes has created the Vampire Bund, an island nation for vampires. It's a popular tourist spot for humans during the day. Akira and Masaki are two such tourists, but when the latter sneaks off to become a vampire, it sets off a horrific chain of events. Now Akira must find the cure or he'll stay a vampire permanently.
You don't have to read "Dance in the Vampire Bund" to read this series, but the side stories give the world more richness and depth that more manga series should do. It also mentions events relating to both Bosina and Hawai'i; the latter which should give Honolulu manga fans a thrill. Some of the angst feels a little out of place, but it's still a good story. Honolulu vampire fans should give it a look.

Cheney Farmers Market opens second season at City Hall parking lot with more selection
June 20, 2013 | Volume 117 Number 9
It might be a busy summer for the Cheney Farmer's Market if last Tuesday was any indication of how the rest of the season will play out.
The market, which opened June 11 in the City Hall parking lot at 609 Second St., provides an opportunity for Cheney residents and surrounding communities to sift through a vast selection of locally produced foods and crafts from nearby vendors.
"There was a lot of excitement about the market this year and we were as busy as I've ever seen the Cheney Farmer's Market last Tuesday when we opened," interim market manager Jeanie Wolen said. "It wa...

Quinton Stages Rally, July 2011
Builth Wells, Mid Wales.
Gareth Vickers (HMC member)/Martyn Vickers.
Peugeot 205 1.6 Gti (205 challenge spec)
Things didn't get off to best of starts for this event, the alternator packed in on the tow vehicle on the way down and we only just made it to the Royal Welsh Showground in Builth Wells for scrutineering! The 205 didn't let us down though and sailed through scrutineering and we once again camped at the scrutineering venue to save some pennies. The failure of the mighty Hilux Surf meant we would be using Martyn's Alfa 137 for management service duties which was far from ideal.
This event was very compact, starting and finishing at the Epynt military ranges and using the gravel roads of the range and the surrounding forests. After easing ourselves back in to this rallying lark on the Plains we decided to push on a bit on this event and see what happened. The morning loop went well with no car issues or accidents etc, the stages were really enjoyable and quite dry without being to dusty. At midday service we were 5th in class, just 11 seconds behind 4th so our pace was encouraging and showing a marked improvement from the Plains.
The afternoon consisted of a repeat of the morning's loop of stages, After the 5th stage over the fantastic Route 60 the gap to fourth in class was down to just 5 seconds. Determined to get 4th in class we pushed on again during the 6th stage Halfway only to come across the 4th in class crew off into the scenery with a minor off half way through the stage which broke their suspension so we duly took over 4th in class, we had a slight moment on this stage drifting wide on a tight down hill right hitting the bank (see photo on right).
Things started to go wrong during Stage 7 through Crychan forest, accelerating away from the stage start the gear stick was suddenly like a dick in a bucket as it slopped around, due to the gear linkage working loose! This also left us stuck in 4th gear with worries of not being able to get through the stage. Luckily the stage was fast and flowing with very few uphill sections or tight corners, we managed to get through dropping around 90 seconds in 5 miles with much abuse of the clutch! Despite the time loss no one in our class had caught us and we had actually gained a place due to 2nd in class Simon Chapman retiring his Corsa kit car after an excursion.
While back at service we were very lucky to find the offending gear linkage bolt still resting on the linkage so it was a simple fix, restoring the gear linkage to full functionality.
We attacked the final stage through Monument despite having little to gain or loose in the class placings, due to a big time gap to the car in front and behind. A decent time with no dramas saw us secure what we thought was 3rd in class, however 1st in class man Elfyn Evans in a Fiesta R2 decided not to hand in his time card so we were promoted to 2nd in class! I later heard that Elfyn was using his own pacenotes on the proviso that he wouldn't be part of the results.
Then all we could do was wait for the AA to tow us home, I've certainly had my money's worth out of my membership this year!
Result – 62nd out of 84 finishers (118 starters), 2nd in class.
A very enjoyable rally with excellent stages which held up well to double usage, compact route kept things flowing and costs down, chuffed to bits with the result!

Look around you, in your personal quest for survival and success there is a massively changing world. So, what else is new?
To put this discussion into context, people are demanding from governments accountability for what they expect. Most people, like you, are so close to the action that they may miss the scope and scale of evolution and revolution.
As it has always been, it is about people seeking these things:
- Human rights
- Personal freedom
- Social responsibility
- Environmental responsibility
- Safety and security
- Equality and fairness
- Good life for all
As individuals, some people have a much easier start than others depending upon the success of their parents and families. For those who are born unto disadvantage, society and governments try to equalize the start. That means taking from the wealthy and advantaged and sharing with those in needs.
In the freest of societies it is hoped that wealthy persons will be philanthropic and generous on their own, like Bill Gates and his wife, for instance. However, not all wealthy persons are freely generous, and voluntary generosity doesn't ensure that resources reach the people who need it most.
Resource distribution requires management through public policy and programs aimed at ensuring equal access to opportunity, and ensuring that the private sector is operating in an optimal environment in which to produce opportunity.
Today, it isn't just about simplistic principles, it is about engineering sustainable economies. It begins with answering how economies will be fueled, i.e., energy strategy.
For instance, the economy in the Ukraine is fueled by natural gas supplied by Russia. Natural gas is not a renewable energy source, and for Ukrainians, until they have a renewable source of power of their own, their economy and personal lives will be dependent on the supplier. Self-sufficiency and autonomy cannot be ensured until Ukrainians solve that problem.
By comparison, the United States has much more flexibility in solving the problem of renewable energy, but is government addressing that problem as aggressively as it should? The answer is no. The only way that Americans can be assured of healthy job production and a sustainable economy is when government makes that top priority. It isn't about simply jobs, it is about engineering a sustainable economy with robust desirable attributes.
In every instance in every place in the world, that is the situation to one degree or another.

I thought it was about time to put up some pics of the new patterns designs I have been working on for some time now. I am just about to send them off to the printer, so not much longer and they'll be ready!
First: The Athena/Calista Skirts (two in one pattern):The Athena skirt is a long peasant style tiered skirt with added gathered strips at each tier.
The Calista skirt is sassy, short (knee length) and pieced, with just one gathered strip.
Next, the two new bag patterns:The Bellanca Bag is a diaper bag sized purse with lots of roomy pockets, and a drawstring top with a magnetic clasp closure.
The Snazzy Bag is made using Soire'e Honeybun strips. It has two options: The flap closure, or the loop and button.
This is another fun skirt combo:The Sophisticate Skirt is a cute straight style, to the knee, with two options: Pieced or unpieced, flower or no flower.
And here's a cute fluffy little baby blanket:Named after my Granddaughter Halle Rose, this blanket features gathered strip flowers, and Cuddle Fleecetm from Shannon Fabrics on the back side for cuddly softness any child will love snuggling up with.
These are those great new slipper boots:They come in Adult sizes 6-9, maybe 10, and I'm doing these in youth sizes as well: sizes 13-4
They are lined in that same Cuddle Fleecetm mentioned above, and are incredibly comfy on the footsies!
So that's it for now...Hopefully you will find something you like here. Check back in a couple of weeks to order!

Old Spice has to be loving the attention of their new video called Mom Song. The deodorant company was looking for a way to spotlight their product and it is pretty obvious after getting a million views in only three days the marketing department at the company deserves a raise. According to the Today show on Monday, the majority of the folks think the video is freaky, yet funny enough to share.
The awkward song sung by the moms in the video seem to be a parental moment that people identify with completely. Even Terry Crews, who was in Old Spice ads previously, loves this commercial and found it similar to his mother's actions when he first moved away for school. In a series of vignettes the mothers spy on their sons and their girlfriends in awkward ways that feel a bit like a stalker. There are two scenes in the video that people can't stop talking about. The first scene is the woman who clutches on the back of a car in a laundry basket as her son drives and the second scene is the mother who has an altered face mask in the cafeteria.
While the Mom Song came out well before the push for the Super Bowl ads, this strategy might be perfect for the Old Spice Company. People are chatting up the product and sharing the segment. Without the added competition of other commercials the deodorant company gets all the spotlight.
Take a look at the video clip of the Mom Song.

STS-129 -- Mission to the International Space Station
The crew of space shuttle mission STS-129 is home from space!
The Mission
Six astronauts, Charlie Hobaugh, Barry Wilmore, Leland Melvin, Mike Foreman, Robert Satcher and Randy Bresnik, flew on space shuttle Atlantis for this mission. Atlantis took extra parts to the space station. STS-129 was the last time the space shuttle would bring a space station crew member back to Earth.
The Crew
Astronaut Charlie Hobaugh was the STS-129 commander. He had flown on the space shuttles Atlantis and Endeavour. This was his second time to fly on Atlantis.
The STS-129 flight was astronaut Barry Wilmore's first trip into space. During training, he went to the Food Lab at NASA's Johnson Space Center to taste-test the food he would eat in orbit. Experts in nutrition check the menus to make sure astronauts stay healthy while in space.
Astronaut Leland Melvin was an STS-129 mission specialist. Melvin practiced for part of his flight in a Full Fuselage Trainer at NASA's Johnson Space Center. The trainer is a full-size model of the space shuttle orbiter -- without the wings.
Astronaut Robert Satcher was an STS-129 mission specialist. This trip was his first time to go into space. He spent some of his training time learning water survival. Satcher is a medical doctor. On Earth, he treated people with cancer.
Astronaut Mike Foreman was an STS-129 mission specialist. He trained for spacewalks in the waters of the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory near NASA's Johnson Space Center. Foreman had wanted to be an astronaut since he was 8 years old.
Mission Specialist Randy Bresnik made his first trip into space on STS-129. Before going into space, he had to practice for spacewalking. Bresnik is a U.S. Marine.
The STS-129 Patch
Each crew designs a patch that highlights its mission. On the STS-129 mission patch, the sun shines brightly on the International Space Station above, the space shuttle, and the United States below.
The patch has two shapes, a diamond and a circle. They stand for the two Express Logistics Carriers that rode on the mission. The patch's upper, diamond-shaped part shows the moon and Mars. The crew members' names surround the lower part.

Vitamin D may Prevent Vision Loss in AMD Patients
by Kathy Jones on April 12, 2011 at 6:43 PM General Health News - G J E 4
Elderly women under the age of 75 years who suffer from age-related macular degeneration (AMD) could prevent vision loss by taking Vitamin D.
More than 1,300 women were observed by researchers from University of Buffalo who found that those women under the age of 75 years who had high levels of vitamin D in their blood and whose vitamin consumption from various food sources was also high had the least risk of losing their vision due to AMD.
AdvertisementAccording to the researchers, women whose vitamin D consumption saw the risk of suffering from the disease cut down by more than half.
"More studies are needed to verify this association as well as to better understand the potential interaction between vitamin D status and genetic and lifestyle factors with respect to risk of early AMD", lead researcher Dr Amy Millen wrote in her report that has been published in the journal Archives of Ophthalmology.

Wavy Virgin Weave
- Product Review (submitted on June 13, 20):
- The quality of the hair is amazing! My hair has lasted for over nine months. I do get it professionally washed and set every two weeks. The hair can get a little dry if not conditioned often. I don't even buy hair from the local shops any longer. I feel very confident with my hair purchases. I even buy it for my teenaged daughter

Hi all.
I'm trying to work out the correct way of changing the status of a existing demo into a game, so it's placed into the game section?
But each time I submit a new version of 'BoltThrower' labled as 'game' it get placed in the demo section.
teknecal is it possible if you guys make an app for the homebrew browser that lets you download roms?? if yes, i wouldn't mind donating money to u guys to make this app.
downloading and/or hosting copyrighted material is against the law.
therefore download-links and/or roms-files will never exist on the HBB.
HBB is all about homebrew, not copyrighted material.
@teknecal ..just saw the new HBB update, i tried to update but when i did it gave me a code dump and now the hbb disappear its not on the HB channel menu, any ideas? tanx
After my update(c), it said boot.dol does not match. reverting to previous version (b)…
…I assumed that all the update files were not right yet on the server.
donnie darko> If you don't have wiiload, WiiXplore or gc-linux – On an SD-card
using computer, download HBB from http://wiibrew.org/ and extract
? you might only need the boot.dol ?
- my update attempt, reverted with,, boot.dol does not match, reverting to previous…
THANKS, i already fixed the problem, yeah i have wiixplorer btw, i heard u can download files there to right? if so how???
Start -> Settings -> Network -> SMB / FTP
Start -> FTP Server -> (Network Init / WiFi Icon) -> either:
Go Back -> SMB / FTP client
Startup FTP (server)
Hey teknecal, why do you don't upload any "dangerous" apps onto the codemii server?
this will be very cool for me and other advanced homebrew users. A repository for dangerous apps doesn't exist at the moment…
btw: I come from Germany. I hope you can understand me
Why is it that the homebrew browser keeps telling me update to v0.3.9c even when I am using v0.3.9c? Every time I load the browser, it tells me about the update. Sure, I can skip it with the B button but I don't like always being asked. Will you fix this glitch in the next version?
Can anyone help me…
I have Homebrew Browser v0.3.9c and it fails to get IP from http://www.codemii.com and uses stored IP. Then it keeps saying Read error -126. Why is this happening? It worked perfectly before…
By the way I tried changing DNS and Wireless settings, but it didn't help. Still can't get IP folllowed by Read error -126.
I wasn't convinced it was DNS or Wireless at fault anyway, since I never changed those and Homebrew Browser worked in the past…
Can't you upload homebrew browser with correct stored IPs or a way for me to add it manually somehow? Thanks
I'm no longer having the update issue. Now the HBB finds which version I'm on (v0.3.9c) and doesn't tell me about downloading the latest update.

greek salad with lemon and oregano
print now | return to original post
Greek Salad with Lemon and Oregano
Serves 2 generously, 4 as starter or side
1/2 a large, seedless English cucumber (about 6 to 7 ounces), chopped
1/2 a green bell pepper, chopped
1 cup (about 6 ounces) cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup kalamata olives (you can also serve these alongside)
1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 lemon, halved
2 to 3 ounces feta (Bulgarian or French, if you can find them, are my favorites), in thick slices
2 tablespoons olive oil, or more to taste
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 sprig oregano, leaves minced
Toss cucumbers, pepper, tomatoes, olives (if using) and onion in a shallow bowl or deep plate. Squeeze half a lemon over it. Arrange feta slices on top. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper and oregano. Serve with a slice of feta on top of each serving, and the second half of the lemon for those that like their salads punchier.
* If you're concerned about the pungency of the raw onion, you can squeeze the lemon juice on top of it and let it sit for a while in a dish before adding both to the salad. It will mellow and soften it.

text: The progress of image processing during recent years allows the measurement of pedestrian characteristics on a "microscopic" scale with low costs. However, density and flow are concepts of fluid mechanics defined for the limit of infinitely many particles. Standard methods of measuring these quantities locally (e.g. counting heads within a rectangle) suffer from large data scatter. The remedy of averaging over large spaces or long times reduces the possible resolution and inhibits the gain obtained by the new technologies. In this contribution we introduce a concept for measuring microscopic characteristics on the basis of pedestrian trajectories. Assigning a personal space to every pedestrian via a Voronoi diagram reduces the density scatter. Similarly, calculating direction and speed from position differences between times with identical phases of movement gives low-scatter sequences for speed and direction. Closing we discuss the methods to obtain reliable values for derived quantities and new possibilities of in depth analysis of experiments. The resolution obtained indicates the limits of stationary state theory.

How do you take your mocha latté? Nonfat soy, no whip?
Such options were hardly offered at the tables of 18th-century Europeans, nor was the combination of coffee and chocolate that is now referred to as mocha.
Although the term mocha appears in English period texts, its meaning is somewhat obscure. Historians of the 18th century believe that the word referred to coffee imported to Europe from the Middle East. Hot coffee, tea, and chocolate were novel luxuries of the period, introduced by European colonial holdings in the Far East and the New World. The term mocha was originally associated with the coffee imported from the Arabian Peninsula through Mocha, or Mokha, a port city on the Red Sea coast of present-day Yemen.
It is often thought that due to competition from tea, coffee-drinking declined in England during the second half of the 18th century; however, figures taken from trading archives do not support that argument. Arabian coffee in particular was thought to be of the highest quality, and in England it was sold at a higher price than coffee imported from the West Indies or elsewhere.
On view at Rienzi is a mocha service made by the Königliche Porzellan Manufaktur (KPM), in 1765. The set, listed in manufactory archives as a mocha service, is thought to be incomplete, but includes a coffee pot, creamer, sugar bowl, two cups of different shapes with matching saucers, and a tray.
Made just three years after the founding of the firm, this mocha service reflects the Rococo style, featuring the scrolling ornament popular in Europe in the mid-18th century. Representations of scènes galantes—maidens and gentlemen in pastoral settings—in the manner of French painters Jean-Antoine Watteau or François Boucher are depicted on each piece in gilded reserves.
It's a far cry from a paper cup with a cardboard sheath.
The mocha service, along with other examples of KPM porcelain, are on view in Isla's Gallery through the end of July 2012.
