我们很高兴留在瓦伦蒂娜和玛丽亚在他们的Cala Gonone别墅的美丽个公寓之一。我们有一个伟大的时间!非常感谢瓦伦蒂娜和玛丽亚。下次再见!
We were very happy to stay with Valentina and Maria in one of the beautiful appartments of their villa in Cala Gonone. We had a great time! Thanks a lot Valentina and Maria. See you next time!
We've stayed for the second time at Valentina her place. Again, we've enjoyed it very much. The appartment is nice, clean an quiet, so perfect conditions for an excellant stay. Valentina and her family our very friendly and hospital. And the landscape, especially the beaches, around Cala Ganone are just lovely. We can highly recommend visiting Cala Ganone und this appartment.
Very nice apartment at the edge of Cala Gonone.
Marias daughter Valentina responded immediately and very friendly to the our booking. During our stay she was a kind host and e.g. helped us to book a typical Sardinian dinner.
The apartment was well equipped and very clean on our arrival.
We can fully recommend this appartment.
We stayed with Valentina & Maria in July 2014 and loved every minute of it... Valentina is brilliant host and really made us feel like an extension of her family. We got engaged on Otto Anna beach during our stay and without Valentina's help I have to say it wouldn't have been possible...
If you're reading this review and are in two minds about booking. Don't! You will not regret it, I promise you!
Before arriving at Cala Gonone, I had been in touch with Valentina about my proposal idea and asked if she could help suggest a nice beach etc. Not only did Valentina agree to help, but she went out of her way to contact friends and family in the town to make the proposal amazing! She contacted a friend who ran a boat hire company, another friend's hotel to provide a beautiful 6 course seafood dinner and even decorated our room with rose petals whist we were out!
Other highlights of the trip was meeting all of Valentina's family. They even invited us to have dinner with them one evening. It was beautiful, with plenty of fresh food, Vincenzo's homemade Spumante and Giany's & Pepe's Porcetto!!!
Thank you so much Valentina and Family. It was brilliant meeting you, and see you at the wedding :-)
Sam & Anna
Dear All,
the apartment is very clean and very well maintained. Valentina and Maria are very helpful and it has been a pleasure staying at there place.
Highly recommended.
We had a very lovely time in the appartment and in Cala Gonone. Our kitchen was very well equipped, the house is designed in a very nice way and the family which owns the house and rents the appartments keeps a very personal and nice relationship with the guests. We can fully recommend the appartment.
Nice apartment, very big balcony with a lovely view over the Cala Gonone and the sea. Apartment was very clean and had a big kitchen with all necessary supplies.
We had a very pleasant stay in Cala Gonone. The owners resp. hosts are very friendly and helpful. You find everything you need in the appartment and especially the sea view from the large balcony is marvelous. The port and beach, with several nice restaurants, can be reached by a 15 minute walk. We can warmly recommend the appartment and the area of Cala Gonone.
Hey guys,
we had a totally nice stressless and beautiful stay at Marias house. They provide everything and take care of you very well. we even got involved in the making of grapa and meat! The beach is 15 minutes walking (maybe you could be faster) surroundings are very nice just check cala gonone and the kitchen is well equipped. Thank you Maria and Valentina!
Wir waren nun das dritte mal bei Valentina und ihrer Familie zu Gast. Wie immer war es ein perfekter Urlaub. Das Apartment ist wunderschön und die Familie Tegas ist ein toller Gastgeber! Danke viel mal für den tollen Urlaub! Beste Grüsse Marco und Max

This site is filled with lies and scams which shall be exposed here now:
Firstly to begin with there have been noted scammers on the site. Examples of such include: Maria Liverinova of Ternopol (Ukraine) and Nataliya Zelenskaya from Zaporozhye or Kiev (Ukraine). This makes the claim by this site that it has a sound antiscam policy to be totally erroneous and absolutely false!
Secondly there is also the case where profiles are either borrowed, bought or in some cases stolen from other sites and to hide the fact that the profile has been misused for such a purpose the ages and heights and the names of the ladies have been changed especially with ridiculously awkward names at times. This is to hide the fact that the profile was either bought, borrowed or stolen as mentioned above e.g. from places like anastasiadate.com or dream-marriage.com where the same profiles can be found actually at times surprisingly!
Thirdly there is the case where letters do not exactly come from ladies but come from hired employees who write these letters to men. Therefore one is spending and wasting one's finances behind a lady who may be nonexistent. People report letters being hollow and shallow and therefore they were obviously written by a hired employee which is a noted feature with letters that come from these sites especially if they have a hollow or shallow content in them!
Fourthly there is also a case for email bombardment or letter overload where letter notifications are sent to one's email account sometimes about the same lady over and over again in overwhelming fashion with its ultimate purpose to make the man feel "popular" so that with this popularity tactic it will cause him to spend his money behind letter writing in a large way! Its the same popularity tactic employed by anastasiadate.com. These are in fact what are known as mail shot letters which may not in fact be coming from the lady herself but from the actual company or site itself in its effort to trick the man into purchasing heavily from the site! One can attest to these letter notifications being even sent to men where sometimes six to eight letter notifications per day are sent and if they join another site they sometimes get some of these letter notifications in much, much, less quantity in comparison. A proof of the popularity tactic of the site to "motivate" men to purchase from them heavily for perhaps letters that come from "ladies" who are not really there on the site!
Fifthly in some cases refunds are difficult to acquire from the site especially when one exposes their wrong! It has been noted that it has been a real fight with the administration to get refunds from them especially when the error of the ways has been revealed to them!
This is a plain 100% scam site with scam operations going on and deserves to be completely shut down. It may contain a great mixture of elements with it but its scam-related activities should never be overlooked and thus this site deserves to go out of business for good!

According to Comic Book Movie on Thursday, someone with a keen eye for comics and of course Easter eggs had spotted something in the background of one of the "Ant-Man" set photos. The photo shows Paul Rudd slinging a back pack and walking through the crowd of people. A couple of days ago,a debut of a Marvel photo with Paul Rudd in a hoodie by the Golden Gate bridge is shown.
To his right or the viewers left, there's an advertisement of a familiar beverage having been seen in yet another film. For those who are familiar with one of Stan Lee's cameo appearances, he is seen drinking of such a beverage in "The Incredible Hulk" starring Edward Norton. The posting was tweeted by Twitter user Sott_Lang, which rhyme's with Ant-Man's character's real identity Scott Lang.
Additional cast members have been added to the "Ant-Man" family of thespians. Recently "Mad Men's" John Slattery, who also has been recently cast as the returning Howard Stark to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has also been brought aboard. Also, the upcoming "Jurassic World's" Judy Greer will also be making her debut in the film. It also stars Michael Douglas as Hank Pym, Paul Rudd as Scott Lang, "The Hobbit's" Evangeline Lilly as Hope, and a host of others.
The film is to be directed by Peyton Reed and was to be directed by "Shaun of the Dead's" Edgar Wright, but due to creative differences, Wright went his own way.
"Ant-Man" is scheduled to make its debut come July 17, 2015.

The Fed's Stressful Correction
Regulator, heal thyself. There is always some gnashing of teeth among bankers when the Federal Reserve releases annual stress-test results. Thursday was likely no different. On Friday, it was time for some teeth gnashing at the Fed.
The central bank had to correct some of the most important numbers in the test. These showed the minimum, stressed Tier 1 common ratio at 10 banks was 0.1 percentage points higher than originally stated. And two firms saw their ratio increase by 0.3 percentage points. Unfortunately for HSBC North America, its ratio fell by 0.2 percentage point, while American Express's dropped by 0.5 percentage point.
Despite this, the Fed had a bit more egg on its face. Its description of the correction for a few of the banks was off. At Citigroup, the Fed said the bank's ratio increased to 7.2% from 7%; it then listed the increase for the bank as being a change of 0.1 percentage point. After being asked about this by The Wall Street Journal, the Fed amended the entries for Citi and three other banks with a note saying, "Numbers may not add due to rounding."
While seemingly minor discrepancies, the stress-test results form the basis for Fed decisions on tens of billions of dollars in capital-return requests. In light of that, a tenth of a percentage point can mean a lot.

Mike Schy, a former member of the Fresno State men's golf team in the 1980s, joins the Bulldogs as a volunteer assistant coach. The owner and operator of the Mike Schy Golf Academy at Fresno's Riverbend Golf Club, Schy is an expert in the latest golf instruction technology. He has been a PGA Teaching Professional Member since 1990 and is a master club and putter fitter.
Schy was a member of the Northern California PGA Cup Team in 1992 and in 1983 won the Fresno City Championship. While at Fresno State, he helped his team capture the 1983 Pacific Coast Athletic Association Championship before they finished 12th at the NCAA Championships that same year.
"Mike has been a tremendous addition to our program," head coach Angie Cates said. "Most of the players go to him for weekly swing tune-ups. Having played college golf he knows the demands of being a student-athlete. He is a great instructor and has all the latest technology, including video equipment, launch monitors, body motion and balance boards. If it is new in technology, Mike has it. Mike makes it easy for the players to see for themselves what is going on with their swings and his technology makes it fun to work on your mechanics."

Scotland Opens First Privately-Financed Incubator
It is easy to get the impression that all the startups in the U.K. are either in London's Silicon Roundabout or near Cambridge in Silicon Fen. But something is stirring north of the border in Scotland's capital city Edinburgh with the formal opening today of the TechCube incubator in a refurbished seven-story office block just south of the city center.
TechCube claims to be the first technology incubator in Scotland to be developed entirely by private capital and the local startup community. The building is already almost full, with 17 companies in place before the launch including fantasy sports startup FanDuel and cloud computing comparison service PlanForCloud (recently acquired by Californian company Rightscale) already signed-up,a report in Mashable according to The Next Web, which also highlight the importance of Edinburgh University's School of Infomatics located a few minutes walk from the new incubator.
The school is the biggest computer research conglomeration in Europe, with around 500 academic and research staff, and it's apparently the best in the UK by a clear factor of 2, according to the last two UK Government Research Assessment exercises.
The School of Informatics spends more than £12m each year on pure research, and the school is funded through a number of ways – such as the Scottish Funding Council, various research funding agencies and industry partners.
By contrast, TechCube has been tapping the local tech community to get things off the ground, with Edinburgh-headquartered Skyscanner donating £25,000 worth of office furniture, while FreeAgent andScottish Equity Partners are also supporting the project.
TechCube's directors hope that the incubator will attract new funding, which is in short supply in the Scottish startup scene. The managing director Dr. Jamie Coleman is a member of Northface Ventures.
The Next Web: TechCube: Can Edinburgh's new co-working space plant the seed for Scottish tech startups to flourish?

Stephen Hawking celebrated his 72d birthday this month, marking a little more than half a century since the British physicist was diagnosed with a degenerative motor neuron disease that doctors said would kill him in his 20s. As his body has deteriorated, Hawking has accomplished far more than most people: He has made fundamental discoveries about the universe, translated complex science to the general public, and become a pop culture icon. In a new autobiographical PBS documentary, "Hawking," he departs from his usual topics — black holes and the beginning of the universe — to tell his own story.
The documentary is unflinching in its depiction of frailty; in the opening scene, a nurse points to a ventilator next to his bed and talks about how easily Hawking might slip away if there were a malfunction. He is spoon-fed champagne at a reception in his honor. These portrayals are far more intimate than Hawking as he is often seen — the genius in a wheelchair giving a guided tour of the universe from beginning to end. They have the strange effect of adding to one's sense of the scientist's great dignity. Hawking is a man who has dedicated his life to scientific discovery and communicating ideas, even as he has lost the ability to write, speak, and sketch his ideas on paper. He now communicates through cheek twitches detected by a sensor in his glasses.
In his familiar computerized voice, Hawking recounts his early years — from his boyhood love of train sets to his undisciplined college years, where he estimates he put in about an hour of work per day. Then, he tumbles down the stairs and can't remember who he is. At 21, he is diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Only with death hanging over him and in pursuit of his future wife does he decide to work hard — chasing the question of whether the universe had a beginning.
Much of the story featured in "Hawking" will be familiar to viewers who have seen Errol Morris's skillful 1991 documentary, "A Brief History of Time." In many ways, the new account feels like a less rich echo of that work, with a slightly different cast of supporting characters. That's in part because this time, Hawking is telling his own story, one that has lately been lit by the world's attention.
In Morris's film, friends and colleagues talked about what would happen to a person who fell into a black hole; one man described it as an exciting way to die, with time flashing by too quickly to comprehend. The new documentary reviews his major scientific contributions, but features little in the way of that kind of nerdy awe. Instead, his agent recounts how great it was when Hawking's book, "A Brief History of Time" catapulted to the top of bestseller lists in multiple countries. Hawking's life is clearly in his mind, but the documentary sticks to the ways in which his illness has punctuated his life, along with guest appearances by people like astronaut Buzz Aldrin and comedian Jim Carrey.
This is well-deserved celebrity. Hawking's perseverance and his ability to work within his mind even as he grew more isolated is inspiring. But in some way, the documentary misses the point: Hawking has indeed become well-known, making cameos on shows like "The Simpsons" and "Star Trek." The one thing the world knows about the man is that he has overcome tremendous adversity. Given an hour to pull back the curtain, one might hope for a real sense of what it is like to be inside that agile, self-deprecating, witty, unusual mind that's captured the world's fascination. Instead, we get a pretty standard biography.
Hawking is certainly humanized. His ex-wife, Jane, provides a fascinating glimpse of the difficulty and joy of being married to a brilliant and increasingly trapped man. She recounts their honeymoon, to a conference at Cornell University, as her first indication that she'd share Hawking with another "goddess" — physics. He refers to the sensational period when there were allegations he was abused by his second wife as hurtful years.
But for a person who is keenly aware of the downside of fame — he worries that he is known as much for his illness as he is for his scientific discoveries — the storytelling falls short. With only cursory summaries of his work, his thoughts, the scientific disagreements he has gotten into, one still wonders: How has he managed all this? How does he work?
At one point, Hawking refers to the way his illness reshaped his thinking: "By losing the finer dexterity of my hands," Hawking says, "I was forced to travel through the universe in my mind and try to visualize the ways in which it worked."
That's the documentary I want to see — the journey that only he could take us on.Carolyn Y. Johnson can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow her on Twitter @carolynyjohnson.

It's been one heck of a winter thus far in Denver sports. The Nuggets have a head of steam with new head coach Brian Shaw, the Avalanche have literally been reborn under the tutelage of the greats of yesteryear and with Peyton Manning under center the Broncos have cut through the AFC like a hot knife through butter. But as gratifying as the winter sports have been to watch the boys of summer still captivate fans.
Some doubt whether Denver is truly a baseball town but the buzz that the Rockies create with their every move seems proof positive that it is one. In fact it can be argued that baseball sits in second place only to football in the hearts and minds of Coloradans despite the historical lack of success at 20th and Blake.
Yesterday the Rockies made a pair of moves. They shipped Dexter Fowler to Houston in exchange for right handed pitcher Jordan Lyles and outfielder Brandon Barnes and they inked 32 year-old veteran Justin Morneau to a two-year deal to replace Todd Helton at first base. In doing so the club sparked vociferous debate in the sphere of social media. This doesn't happen mid-summer when the Nuggets make minor moves. It doesn't happen the Avalanche tweak their roster either. The roster adjustments those teams make in their off-seasons are footnotes while when the Rox make moves they make water cooler headlines. Only the Broncos rival the Rockies in newsworthiness and that only proves that regardless of what the doubters say this is a passionate baseball city.
It's the passion of the fans that sometimes brings them criticism. There are personalities in the Denver media that actually hold Colorado fans responsible for the inability of the Rockies to improve. If fans didn't continue to attend games, they say, the Monforts would stop getting rich and would be forced to do things differently. Nothing short of a fan revolt can fix things. This is utter nonsense, of course. The fans are not at fault for the inadequacies of their favorite baseball team.
Just last night Drew Spevak, an insignificant radio host for 102.3 ESPN in Denver, asserted via Twitter that fans had no business complaining about the Rockies' roster moves because it is they, the fans, who line the pockets of the club thus allowing it to make such moves. Here's his Tweet:
The same #Rockies fans complaining about today's moves will still be filling up Coors next summer contributing to the issues. Stop whining
If Spevak genuinely believes that fans "contribute to the issues" he's seriously misguided. Worse, he does not respect the very fans that he is counting on to butter his bread as a media personality. Does he expect season ticket holders to explain to their families that they will not be attending games this coming season as a form of protest? Spevak knows like we all know that isn't going to happen.
The reason that fans cannot be expected to steer clear of the Rockies is that people here love going to baseball games. We aren't the savviest fans in the country and we accept that. Last season was the Rockies' 20th in existence. The Yankees alone have 26 championships to their credit in their 120 plus years of competition. Rockies fans cannot be expected to know as much about the game of baseball as people who were raised as fans of the Yankees - or any of the stodgy "old school" teams in Major League Baseball. But we do have the right to complain. In fact, the more we invest in the Rockies in terms of our time and our dollars the more right we have to "whine".
Spevak's terrible attitude is shared by many - and it's indicative of the presumption on the part of certain people in the entertainment realm who presume to be wiser and more sophisticated than Colorado fans are. If there is a faction to be boycotted it's these people.
Whether the moves the Rockies made yesterday were good ones or bad ones is a matter to be debated. The fact that they are being debated in the midst of the entertaining seasons being had by the Avalanche, Nuggets and Broncos serves to prove that, despite the naysayers, this is a baseball town - and a damn fine one.
Go Rockies.

|Idaho hosts NM State Saturday
Game 15: Idaho (6-8, 2-2) vs. New Mexico State (9-8, 3-2)
When: Saturday, Jan. 12, 2013 (7:05 p.m. PT)
Where: Moscow, Idaho (Cowan Spectrum)
Radio: Vandal Radio Network/VandalXtra
Television: None
Online Video: VandalXtra
Live Stats: www.GoVandals.com
A Look at the Aggies
New Mexico State is 9-8 overall and 3-2 in WAC play. The Aggies earned their first WAC road win on Thursday with an 83-82 double-overtime decision at Seattle U. NM State is averaging 72.4 points on 47.5 percent shooting in WAC play, but they're just 12-62 (.194) from 3-point range. The Aggies have a +6.9 rebounding margin and rank second in the WAC with 4.88 blocked shots per game this season. Opponents shoot just .396 overall and .313 from 3-point range against the Aggies this season, but NM State has a -3.94 turnover margin and has the third-most turnovers per game in the WAC this season. The Aggies have scored just 186 points from beyond the arc this season (second-lowest in the WAC), but they've scored 538 points in the paint and average 32.4 points down low this season.
New Mexico State Head Coach Marvin Menzies
Marvin Menzies holds a 111-76 career head coaching record, all at New Mexico State. He's in his sixth season with the Aggies, which he has led to a pair of WAC Tournament titles and NCAA Championships berths in the 2010 and 2012 seasons. Before he took over NM State for the 2007-08 season, Menzies was an assistant under Rick Pitino at Louisville from 2005-07. He also held assistant posts at UNLV (2004-05), USC (2003-04) and San Diego State (1999-03).
Idaho Vandals
The Vandal men made too many mistakes in the second half of a 55-49 loss to Denver in its WAC home opener on Thursday. Idaho committed a season-high-tying 18 turnovers in the game, 12 of which came after halftime. Idaho had season-lows in points, rebounds and assists in the game.
Vandals vs. Aggies
The series between Idaho and New Mexico State is heavily weighed in NM State's favor (20-4), but the teams split last season's meetings. The Aggies took an 80-68 home win on Jan. 14, but Idaho claimed a 59-58 victory at the Cowan Spectrum on Feb. 9. Idaho is 2-13 against NM State since the two schools became WAC rivals, but both wins have come under head coach Don Verlin's watch. All four of Idaho's wins against the Aggies have come at home.
The Four-Point Swing
You'll probably want to get a hand in Connor Hill's face when he shoots, because he leads the WAC in 3-point field goal percentage (.462) and in 3-point makes (2.57/gm). The thing is, he also leads the NCAA in four-point play conversions (3), so you probably don't want to get too close. In addition to having the most four-point plays in the nation, Hill also is the only player to convert a four-point play in consecutive games, which he did on Dec. 6 at Eastern Washington, then again on Dec. 8 at UTEP.
1,000 Point Watch
Senior center Kyle Barone started the 2012-13 season on the 1,000-point watch. He joined that club on Dec. 1 against UC Davis. Junior guard/forward Stephen Madison is going to finish the season on 1,000-point Club notice. He has 730 career points and a 15.2 points per game scoring average. If he averages 17 points per game for the rest of the season, he'll break 1,000 career points. The last time Idaho had two players on the court with 1,000 career points was the 1993-94 season when both Orlando Lightfoot and Deon Watson were in the 1,000-point club (Lightfoot scored his 1,000th point in the 1992-93 season, Watson did so in 1993-94). The only time two Vandal players reached 1,000 career points in the same season was 1982-83 (Brian Kellerman and Phil Hopson).
Deep Threat
He's just a sophomore, but guard Connor Hill has no hesitation to take big shots - and make them. He leads the WAC in both 3-point percentage (.462) and makes (2.57/gm) this season and already has 12 games in his career with three or more made 3-pointers, including a career-high six earlier this season at New Mexico. At his current pace, he has a chance to crack Idaho's career top-five in 3-pointers made, without even coming close to breaking the top-10 in career attempts.

Sept. 27, 1999
LOS ANGELES - Eric Peterson's UCLA women's cross country team, preseason rated No. 20 in the U. S. will send a 'B' squad to compete on Saturday (Oct. 2) at the Stanford Invitational, held on the Stanford Golf Course. The Bruin 'B' team will compete in the Women's Open Division, a 5000m course starting at 3:45 p.m.
Running for the Bruins at Stanford will be--senior Melinda George, junior Gina Donnelly, sophomores, Alynda Franco, Melissa Peralta, Bridget Hatch and Jaclyn Nolan, freshman Stefani Clark and senior Jessica Matthews or junior Peggy Hall.
Bob Larsen's Bruin men's squad will not be competing this weekend. Looking ahead, the UCLA women will send a 'B' team to the Arizona State Invitational on Friday, Oct. 8. Then on Saturday, Oct. 9, both the Bruin women's and men's varsity squads will compete at the Long Beach State Invitational. Held at El Dorado Park, the course for the Long Beach State Invite will be the same course used for the upcoming 1999 Pacific-10 Championship, on Saturday, Oct. 30.
Last Saturday (Sept. 25), the Bruin women's and men's varsity teams competed at the prestigious Roy Griak Invitational, hosted by the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis on the Lee Bolstad Golf Course. The Griak Invite hosted the top women's and men's collegiate cross country teams from around the nation. In all, over 210 teams (NCAA Div. I-II-III, NAIA and high school) with over 2,000 runners competed in six races.
In the women's Div. I 5000m race, the UCLA women placed sixth with 206 points. The winning team (out of 25) was No. 16 Arizona State (53 points), followed by No. 1 Brigham Young (second-place, 73), No. 23 Minnesota (third-place, 165), No. 18 Missouri (fourth-place, 178), unranked Nebraska (fifth-place, 190) and No. 20 UCLA in sixth place (206).
Individually, the Bruin women were led by junior Kelly Cohn, who placed seventh with a time of 17:53. UCLA also had two other runners finish in the Top 30--sophomore Elaine Canchola (26th, 18:22) and junior Katie Nuanes (28th, 18:23). Other UCLA finishers included-senior Melinda George (70th, 18:59), sophomore Alynda Franco (75th, 19:03), junior Gina Donnelly (114th, 19:42) and freshman Stefani Clark (125th, 19:51). The Bruins were without seniors, Christina Bowen (back injury) and Kara Barnard (allergies) and sophomore Kate Vermeulen. Vermeulen, a transfer from West Virginia who last season won the NCAA Indoor mile, was competing in her first race for the Bruins at the Griak Invitational, but had to withdraw during the competition because of tendinitis in her right knee.
"Not to long ago, if we had been in a race like the Griak and had lost three of our top runners, we would not have been a factor in the team scoring," said Peterson, in his sixth season as the UCLA women's head coach. "But with our current depth, we were still able to beat some very good teams, like No. 15 Northern Arizona (seventh-place), No. 10 Providence (ninth-place) and No. 17 Boston College (11th-place).
"I was very pleased with the races of Kelly (Cohn) and Alynda (Franco)," he said. "Our top seven runners ran very hard and we were still able to stay in the thick of the team race."
Going into the men's Div. I race, the Bruins, unranked, were hoping to finish in the top-half of the team standings and that's exactly what the UCLA men's team did, placing 12th (331 points, out of 28 teams). UCLA was only six points out of 10th place (Duke, 325). The winning men's team was No. 5 Wisconsin (86 points), followed by No. 27 Brigham Young (second-place, 133), No. 6 Northern Arizona (third-place, 143), No. 9 Oregon (fourth-place, 172) and No. 19 Weber State (fifth-place, 197).
The Bruin men over the 8000m course were led by two runners in the Top 40--sophomore Bryan Green placed 35th (25:21) and senior Will Bernaldo, running in his first race of the season, was 37th (25:23). Other UCLA finishers included--senior Dan Brecht (68th, 25:48), junior Mason Moore (80th, 25:55), senior Matt Pitts (111th, 26:16), junior Scott Abbott (132nd, 26:32) and freshman Justin Patananan (146th, 26:44). The Bruins were without senior Paul Muite, a top runner from last season.
"The guys really ran well," said Bob Larsen, in his 21st season as the UCLA men's coach who is retiring at the end of the 1999-2000 season. "Bryan (Green) and Will (Bernaldo) had outstanding races and ran personal-bests. There were more ranked teams in this year's field and we performed better than last year (UCLA men were 14th last season)." At the Griak, UCLA beat No. 15 Butler (13th-place), No. 13 Minnesota (14th- place) and No. 25 Iowa (19th-place).

Serious wine lovers in the San Francisco Bay area get several opportunities each year to indulge their passions for wine. Large, themed tastings like the ZAP Zinfandel Festival or the recent Pinot Days are great opportunities to get a sense of a certain varietal and the quality of the recent vintage in California and events like the upcoming Family Winemakers are an opportunity to taste wines from smaller producers.
It is quite rare, however, despite the nearness of the appellation and the saturation of wine in the Bay Area, for consumers to get the opportunity to get an in-depth or comprehensive look at the wines of Napa Valley. Perhaps it's just because Napa wines don't need much marketing help, or perhaps it's because the Napa Valley Vintners association exhausts itself with its two major events each year, but there just isn't a real good opportunity for members of the public to survey the breadth and depth of wines from the Napa valley.
Unless, that is, you happen to be a member of the Napa Valley Wine Library Association.
The Wine Library is just what it sounds like: a library with books about wine. Started in the early Sixties by a group of winery owners that realized the irony of having a public library in the heart of Napa Valley that possessed virtually no literature or resources about wine, the library association was built on donations of money and books from Napa's wine families over four decades. Now occupying a special section of the St. Helena public library and even owning a small vineyard out behind the building, the Wine Library Association is a membership organization that gives its members access to these materials, some of which are rare and historic, as well as to annual tasting events.
Each year the organization hosts a two part event: On Saturday they offer a full day seminar on a specific topic, often a certain AVA or certain varietal, and then on Sunday they offer a tasting event showcasing a specific varietal as represented by nearly 100 wineries in the valley.
This year's event will feature an all-day seminar on August 15th at the Culinary Institute of America in St. Helena entitled, "On the Other Hand, Discovering Other Reds." Led by wine educator Allen Balik and French Laundry Sommelier Dennis Kelly, the seminar will also include tasty bites from the French Laundry kitchens during the seminar, and a lunch in the CIA's teaching kitchens afterwards, coupled with a retrospective on Stags' Leap Petite Sirah led by Carl Doumani.
The following day, Sunday the 16th, around 80 wineries will pour their recent vintages of wines other than the traditional Bordeaux varieties in the grove at the Silverado Country Club. Petit Sirah, Zinfandel, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Dolcetto, Tempranillo, Sangiovese, and various proprietary blends of these and more will be on offer. The grove at the Silverado Country Club is an idyllic place for a wine tasting, even during a hot Napa day.
"That's all well and good," you may be saying, "but this is a members-only event and I'm not a member of the Napa Valley Wine Library Association." That's true. But a check for $60 sent in advance, or a check for $80 on the day of the tasting will do the trick. Membership is available on the spot, and covers the tasting plus any others that you choose to go to for the rest of the year. If you'd like to attend the seminar on the 15th, there is an additional cost of $150. Or, if that is the only part of this event you'd like to attend, then you can just go to that for $165.
Sound like a steal? It is. Unless you're a member of the trade that attends Premiere Napa Valley, or someone willing to pay in the hundreds or even thousands for a package at the annual Auction Napa Valley, there is generally no other way to get the opportunity to taste so many Napa Valley wineries in a single setting. If you're serious about learning more about Napa wines, especially if you're interested in some of the less famous wines of the valley, this is an event you don't want to miss. I've provided an initial list of the wineries scheduled to pour at the bottom of this post along with the wines they'll be showcasing.
Napa Valley Wine Library Association Member Tasting
Sunday August 16th
Silverado Resort and Country Club
1600 Atlas Peak Road
Napa, California 94558
Annual membership dues for the Association are $60, or $80 if purchased at the door. Only checks and cash will be accepted, I believe, so stop at an ATM or bring your checkbook. Additional details on how to get membership in advance and on the event can be found on the Association's web site. Please note that the location for the Saturday event is the Greystone Castle in St. Helena
My usual tips for such outdoor public tastings apply: wear loose fitting but dark colored clothing (but keep in mind that it may be very warm for the outdoor tasting). Eat a good meal before going and drink lots of water while tasting. Decide in advance which wineries you would like to visit, and make sure to spit rather than swallow the wine to make sure you get a chance to enjoy (and remember) a number of wines.

My left foot has suffered greatly from my RA. The arch has fallen, and bone spurs have formed on the top of my foot due to the change. I need a laced shoe (New Balance sneakers) for support, yet it can't be too tight so pressure stays off the top. I see a rheumatologist and a podiatrist regularly, and am on Remicade (infliximab). Do you think surgery is an option? Podiatrist says yes, but the rheumatologist says absolutely no, and that the spurs will return and will be worse. Please give me your opinion, and any suggestions – walking is getting increasing painful. I am 65 years old. Thank you!
It's hard to determine what exact deformities you have in your feet based on the information you've provided, but it appears that you may have collapse of the posterior tibial tendon, which when damaged can lead to a collapsed arch. The "bone spurs" on the top of your foot may be "cock-up toes" which are commonly seen in RA patients.
Surgical fusion or resection of some of the involved joints is possible, but the recovery time will be long and I agree with your rheumatologist that there is a possibility that the deformities will recur over time. I recommend you get a thorough understanding of the risks and functional benefits of any surgical procedure before proceeding, and make an informed decision based on what the surgeon tells you.

(Ivanhoe Newswire)-- When fighting tumors it is essential doctors target the metabolic reactions that fuel their growth. A new study shows that a one-size-fits-all metabolism-specific cancer therapy will not fight every type of cancer.
Researchers say that metabolic profiling will be imperative for defining each type of cancer and choosing the best treatment option for a patient.
Their evidence comes from observing mice that exhibit how tumors metabolic profiles vary. The variations depended on the genes behind a certain cancer and on the tissue of origin.
"Cancer research is dominated now by genomics and the hope that genetic fingerprints will allow us to guide therapy," J. Michael Bishop, University of California, San Francisco, was quoted as saying. "The issue is whether that is sufficient. We argue that it isn't because metabolic changes are complex and hard to predict. You may need to have the metabolome as well as the genome."
Just as a cancer genome refers to a full set of genes, the metabolome refers to the complete set of metabolites in a particular tumor.
The team led by Bishop and Mariia Yuneva was curious as to how metabolism might vary with the underlying genetic causes of cancer.
The team found that in mice, liver cancers driven by different cancer-causing genes showed differences in the metabolism of two major nutrients: glucose and glutamine.
"Our work shows that different tumors can have very different metabolisms," Yuneva was quoted as saying. "You can't generalize."
Bishop and Yuneva say their findings also highlight glutamine metabolism as a potential new target for therapy in some tumors, noting that the focus has been primarily on glucose metabolism. They also found that the data shows a form of a glutaminase enzyme typically found in kidney cells is also observed in cancerous liver cells. Meaning there may be a way to target the metabolism of the cancer without damaging normal liver tissue."We shouldn't lose sight of the rather immediate therapeutic potential," Bishop said.
The researchers plan to continue researching metabolic variations in mice. They say it will be important to document the metabolic variation in a more in-depth, human setting.

For many students and parents around the country, this week (or next, depending on where you live) is that lovely part of the year known as Spring Break. It's the time when people pack themselves in mini-vans or airplanes and go crash on beaches far and wide, all in anticipation of summer, which lies just around the corner.
While Spring Break and vacations in general are often highlights of the year for those of us who need a reprieve from the real world, traveling can be an activity that turns ridiculously wasteful in terms of the environment. From the way we recycle, eat and relax, there are plenty of ways to make our down time more eco-friendly. Here are 6 ways to be green on Spring Break.
Pack light.
Beyond saving money, traveling smart and light also saves you stress and can actually lower the carbon footprint of your travel plans. Traveling lighter means less weight, which means less fuel for your car or plane, which means less of a negative impact on the environment. Some of the items that you will be trying to desperately cram into your luggage can be bought upon your arrival, which has a bonus of helping boost the local economy of wherever it is that you're visiting. For more tips on specific ways to pack lightly, visit RealBuzz.
Travel green.
More than any other thing you can do to be green on your vacation, your mode of transport has the biggest effect on the environment. There are a couple of ways to combat or alleviate this issue. First, make sure you do not fly at night. Yes, the airport is more empty and it means less lines and stress, but the contrails of a plane at night have a bigger impact on global warming than those left in the day.
In addition, there are great resources online where you can book greener flights and save money at the same time. Alternative to flying, you could also take a train overnight while you sleep, or take a road trip with a rented hybrid car.
Take a "staycation"!
Just because a place is close to you doesn't mean it isn't a blast. I know, the idea of taking a staycation has "lame dad idea" written all over it, but it can be a really inexpensive way to have a fun and enviro-conscious vacation. Everybody wants to travel to exotic locations for their trips, but for the resourceful individuals out there, there are ways to locate local nuggets of fun. Not only will it save on travel expenses, but you will find out more about the tourist spots near where you live.
Outdoor entertainment.
This one seems like a no-brainer when it comes to Spring Break, but enjoying the outdoors is a great way to be green. Take your bike out, go camping or rock climbing, or hang out at the beach. As long as you are being conscious of your waste and how you recycle, mother nature is out there for us to enjoy. Likewise, if you choose to go snowboarding or skiing, as many often do during this time, choose products that are recycled or made of bamboo, and find ski resorts that are sustainable.
Green lodging.
Eco-friendly lodging is another excellent way to travel green. With more and more people becoming green-aware, there is a rise in businesses doing the same. Not only are there plenty of green restaurants, but there are even hotels who try to operate their buildings in a way that is less harmful to the environment. You can find loads of green hotels online, all for the same prices or even cheaper than your typical lodging.
Play smart.
Now that you are off enjoying your vacation, take your good green habits with you. Whether you are across the globe or in your own neck of the woods, there are everyday ways to reduce your carbon footprint while you enjoy your Spring Break. While you are at the hotel, remember to recycle, use less water when you shower, and re-use your towels and sheets so they are not constantly being washed. In addition, don't buy paper guides to lead you around, find paperless travel guides online.
With all of these tips, your vacation is sure to be eco-friendly and fun. So, how many of you guys are on Spring Break this week or next? Going anywhere interesting? Let us know in the comments!

LearnPolishwith Us!Start Learning!
Each country has its' own sayings. Some of them may be similar or have similar meanings as in other countries. However Polish sayings, when translated exactly, word by word, most of the times don't make to much sense.
Today I will try to explain the meaning of some of them to you.
Let's start with this one:
"Słowo się rzekło, kobyłka u płotu"
Few have a chance to understand the meaning of this old Polish saying. Most Poles might point to the very sense of it and they know why they pronounce these few strange-arranged words to say what is intended, but few understand their real meaning.
It seems nonsense when translated literally: "A word was said – a mare is standing by the fence". This old saying has a long historic background. In the 15th century, before there were newspapers and photographs, the kings could often venture out "incognito" among their subjects and "check up on them".
The story goes that the famous Polish King Jan Sobieski III, the savior of Vienna (1683), notot far from his palace, made a bet with a petty noble (małostkowy szlachetny) who didn't recognize him. Sobieski was kidding him that a man in his position would never get a chance to speak to the King. Jan bet his favourite mare. He was obviously going to "throw" the bet and let the poor man win, just for the amusement of his traveling companions. The hot-headed gentry-man demanded that his partner must present him immediately to the King. Sobieski then said to the confused gentryman: "słowo się rzekło, kobyłka u płotu", pointing to the horse.
Hundreds of such wonderful sayings are functioning in the Polish language making it rich and nice to hear. The language is really a living monument.
Another great saying:
"Nie dla wszystkich skrzypce grają"

Thanks this has been helpful for my Polish laqnguage for tourists class as reading/phonetic practice. Suitably short pieces of language.
Elaine of Kalilily:
I wonder if you would know how I can track down something my mother used to say when I would have to improvise to make some sewing project fit, making adjustments that to cover up mistakes. In the English meaning, it was something like -- a dumb person won't even notice the mistake and a smart person will think that you meant to do it that way. I'm trying to find the Polish version. Any suggestions?
Peter Porebski,Sr.:
Hello, I am an American of Polish descent (100%). However, my parents although they spoke Polish, never taught it to me. They died about a year ago and I recently was going thru their things. I found a tee shirt of Dad's that says "Nie Bzykam Na Boku". It has an image of a honey bee on it too. Google translation comes back as Don't whiz on the side. Can you please provide some context for this? I suspect something is being lost in the translation. Thank you. Peter P.
I'm coming to the game late, but I really enjoyed these. My grandparents were Polish, but the only Polish word I know is "garbachik," which I know I'm spelling wrong. That's what my grandmother called her cane, and she always laughed when she said it. I never knew what it meant, but I think she was referring to it as a shepherd's crook. I'd love to know if I'm right. She had ten children and many grandchildren, so I'm sure she often felt like a shepherd keeping everyone in line!
I am looking for this saying to be transplanted into Polish if you could help me I would be very appreciative. "It isn't torture, it is progress." Thank you!
Hello what is Follow your dreams and turn them into reality In polish

Toy, Gun, Air Ray, Flash Gordon
This Flash Gordon Air Ray gun with a sparking flint disc in the muzzle was advertised as "the most amazing toy of the atomic age!" According to the toy's descriptions, it could shoot "a whizzing jet of air 20 feet with amazing accuracy." And yet, it was "safe as the air you breathe, and as inexpensive, since it requires no ammunition." Manufactured by the Budson Company of Chula Vista, California, the toy capitalized on the popularity of the Flash Gordon character.
Michael O'Harro gave this toy to the National Collection in 1997, as a part of a large collection of space science fiction objects.

Feb. 3, 2001
CORVALLIS, Ore.-- The Washington State University women's swim team put the finishing touches on the winningest dual-meet season in the team's 25-year history with a 113-92 win over Oregon State University Saturday. The Cougars' nine wins this season surpasses the old record of eight, which had been achieved three times, most recently in 1996-97.
The Cougars completed a two-day sweep of the Beavers Saturday, after a 138-124 victory Friday night at Stevens Natatorium.
WSU won seven-of-11 events Saturday, including both relays, making the Cougars victorious in all four relay events in the series.
Cougar freshman Andree-Anne LeRoy (Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada) broke the Stevens Natatorium record with her time of 2 minutes, 6.89 seconds in the 200 individual medley. LeRoy had a total of seven wins in the two meets, four in individual events and three with relay teams.
"Oregon State is a talented team with very tough racers," LeRoy said. "All the races were very close and exciting. We were much more aggressive than we were last week in Reno, which definitely accounted for our better performance. It was a great win."
Taryn Ternent, a freshman from Edenvale, South Africa, again won the 50 and 100 freestyle for WSU, bringing her two-day win total to seven (four individual events, three relays). Saturday Ternent clocked in with times of 24.19 seconds in the 50 freestyle and 53.05 in the 100 freestyle.
"Oregon State was a very, very good team," Ternent said. "They're up and coming just like us. Both meets this week were very close and exciting."
Freshman Rachel Dong (Paramount, Calif.) won the 200 freestyle for the Cougars in a time of 1:55.07 seconds, moving her into 10th on WSU's all-time list for that event. Dong also swam on both winning relay teams, leading off the 400 freestyle relay with a leg of 53.21 seconds, which moved her into ninth place on the school's list for the 100 freestyle. She played a role in six WSU wins in the two days (two individual and four relays).
"It was difficult coming off a tough loss to Nevada last weekend, but our team was really fired up, and we were able to pull it together when we needed to," Dong said. "We started out aggressive, and were able to come through in some really exciting races."
Also swimming well for the Cougars, freshman Katie Byrnes (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) added a win in the 200 backstroke with a time of 2 minutes 6.56 seconds. Semah Zavareh, a freshman from Houston, Texas, moved her name into eighth place on WSU's all-time list in the 1000 freestyle with her second-place time of 10:27.26.
The Cougars, now 9-3 this season (3-1 Pac-10) hope to carry their momentum into the Pacific-10 Conference Championships, which will be hosted by WSU at the Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatics Center in Federal Way, Wash., February 22-24.

Carrie Underwood is ramping up the rock-glam in this year's Sunday Night Football intro. In a strapless dark blue mini, the country powerhouse commands the stage with just her voice, long blonde hair and enviable legs. "It's got a major star in Carrie Underwood," says coordinating producer Fred Gaudelli in a brand new behind-the-scenes teaser. "That's the right person to open up [this show]."
Underwood first stepped into the role last year, taking over the reigns from P!nk (2006) and Faith Hill (2007-2012). "I grew up watching football," Underwood shares. "I have a passion for it and I have a passion for music. It's kind of all of these things get to mesh together for this one event."
Waiting all day…all week…all off season for Sunday Night w/ @carrieunderwood #SNFopen #SNF pic.twitter.com/ig8RB2YLJk
— SNF on NBC (@SNFonNBC) June 25, 2014
Throughout the teaser, various football players (including San Diego Chargers' Philip Rivers and Chicago Bears' Brandon Marshall) comment on what it's like to step out into the limelight in a new way. "It's great to be a part of it," notes Rivers. "It really is. My children are all old enough now. We all sit and watch it ever week."
Directed by Tripp Dixon, the behind-the-scenes video features plenty of action and insider secrets (green screens, trolleys, etc). "I think any time you get great players together and a talent like Carrie, it's gonna be big," Dixon shares of the experience.
Gaudelli adds, "I think the players realize that Sunday Night Football is the #1 show on television—that their faces are going to be up there every single week, welcoming people to the show."
Sunday Night Football returns Thursday, Sept. 4 with the Green Bay Packers take on the Seattle Seahawks.

I titled my 2013 AL East prediction column, "It's anybody's ball game." The Red Sox, to the surprise of many, emerged victorious. This year it seems the consensus is that it is a four-team race with many discounting the Toronto Blue Jays. My memory is vague on this matter (intentionally so), but I tend to remember having a fondness for over-hyping the boys from north of the border. I am fighting the temptation to do it again this year.
Let's dive right into it. Here are my predictions for the AL East:
5. Baltimore Orioles (79-83)
The Orioles always surprise me. Kudos to manager Buck Showalter for that. They do possess the best player in the division. Adam Jones is a superstar who I still don't think gets his due. Chris Davis finally fulfilled his potential in a big way last year by clubbing 53 home runs. The O's also added Nelson Cruz. That's a formidable 3-4-5 punch in the lineup.
The problem is their pitching. I'm not sold on their starting rotation and I'm certainly not sold on Tommy Hunter as a closer. The Orioles made a huge mistake not adding a legitimate closer to replace Jim Johnson. It will cost them.
4. Toronto Blue Jays (80-82)
I couldn't put them in the basement. I just couldn't. Actually, I have to fight the urge to move them up to third. I picked the Red Sox to finish third last year and they wound up winning the division. It wouldn't surprise me to see the Jays make the same leap.
I don't understand why everyone is counting them out. Last year, they were everybody's darling. This year, they are being thrown to the corner. Why? Jose Bautista is healthy after missing huge chunks of the last two seasons. Reliever Sergio Santos is back healthy. He bolsters the bullpen exponentially. He is filthy good.
Their batting lineup is above average. Their starting rotation is acceptable. Their bullpen is solid.
So what is the problem? Oh, I see their manager is still John Gibbons.
3. New York Yankees (89-74)
For a while it looked like the Yankees front office had fallen asleep during the offseason. They let Robinson Cano escape to Seattle. Seattle? Over New York? The Yankees responded with a flurry of signings which made me shake my head. McCann? Ellsbury? Beltran? Kelly Johnson? Brian Roberts?
McCann has struggled staying healthy in recent years. Ellsbury and Beltran join an already crowded, veteran outfield. Johnson and Roberts are expected to replace Cano and Alex Rodriguez at third base and second. Good luck with that.
The Yankees will be better than 2013 due to their improved starting rotation. The funny part is their projected starting rotation should be flip-flopped by midseason. Projected aces CC Sabathia and Hiroki Kuroda's best days are behind them. Ivan Nova, Masahiro Tanaka, and Michael Pineda will all outperform Sabathia and Kuroda.
The Yankees bullpen is a huge question mark. They got some good young arms, but are they ready to perform under the bright lights of New York. It's been a long time since the Yankees didn't have the security blanket of Mariano Rivera at the back end of the bullpen.
2. Tampa Bay Rays (92-70)
Two words-- Joe Maddon. As long as he is the manager of the Rays, I will pencil them in for 90 wins. If they ever add a slugger, I will pencil them in for the World Series. Of course, I am still waiting for that to happen. Then again, they may have that slugger in the form of youngster Wil Myers.
Tampa's starting rotation is always rock solid. Their bullpen always seems shaky to me, but they always get it done every year. Grant Balfour takes over as Rays' closer. The Orioles had a deal in place for Balfour, but something came up in his physical that scared them away. That's not encouraging. Even less encouraging is that Tampa has Heath Bell as Balfour's backup.
But Maddon always makes it work.
1. Boston Red Sox (95-67)
I wrote last year that the Red Sox were primed for 2014 and beyond. Well, here we are. Oh, as an added bonus, they won the World Series in 2013 while they waited.
The Red Sox aren't without some question marks. A lot of talk has surrounded the centerfield position. I question the entire outfield. Jackie Bradley, Jr. will be much-needed spelling injury-prone veterans Grady Sizemore and Shane Victorino. As the season progresses, I think right field will be a bigger problem for the Red Sox than center, and one which they will need to address at the trade deadline.
The Red Sox starting rotation is the best and deepest in the American League. Their bullpen is also the best. The strength of the Red Sox is their organizational depth. If they need anything during the season, they have internal options or the chips to deal to get help.
This could be the beginning of a dynasty for the Red Sox.

Letter from GEN. MARK W. CLARK. U.S.A. RET.. to 755th for their
The Following is from a book by GENE HUEBNER and is a memorial to the men of the 755 TANK BATTALION who under the Free French Army command of Marshall Bonjour and General Juin's FEC Goumiers who were killed in action and to the survivors and MIA's who fought a very unusual war against The German General, Albert Kesselring, German Army World War II.
The Italian Campaign lasted two years nine months and twenty one days. Far too long a combat zone The loss to the allied armies was far too many. The exact count is not known. The 755 Tank BN spent 17 months in hard fought combat, two months reorganizing and getting new Tanks, equipment and men to full combat strength. We saw five major campaigns, lost approximately 560 men and officers. 225 men were killed in actions, 275 men were injured, wounded or taken captive. We lost approximately 75 percent of the original 750 men while assigned to in-tank support. The 755 was the most decorated with more French citations than any other Tank Battalion in the history of the U.S.
Army 25th division 25 Div. Infantry Division ARMOR Units Note: Five armor units have been assigned to the 25th Division during the period 1949 through 1972. For an explanation of how Armor units are currently organized see our Distinctive Unit Insignia Unit First Assigned to Unit History 755 tank 79th Tank Battalion "Duces Semper" Leaders Always March 1949
Constituted 13 January 1941 in the Regular Army as the 75th Tank Battalion (Medium). Redesignated 8 May, 1941 as the 755th Tank Battalion (Medium. Activated on 1 June 1941 at Camp Bowie, Texas. Assigned to the 1st Tank Group,
The 755th Tank Battalion entered combat on 15 December 1943 during the Naples-Foggia Campaign in support of the 45th Infantry Division near Venafro Italy. On 9 January 1944 the 755th was reassigned to the Fifth Army and attached to the French Expeditionary Corps. The battalion supported French infantry units in the breaking of the German Winter Line near Cassino. For its support of French forces during the Rome-Arno Campaign the 755th received two awards of the French Croix de Guerre.
The 755th went on to participate in the North Apennines and Po Valley Campaigns. The 755th was inactivated near Florence, Italy on 8 September 1945.

C.G. 3rd DIA
As the 755 Tank Battalion leaves my Troupment, I am happy to express my great satisfaction for the manner in which the different companies fulfilled the missions which were given to them.
Fifteen days of combat have retightened our bonds of good comradeship which already existed between the cadres and men of the 755th Tank Battalion and the offices and men of the 3rd Regiment de Spahis Algeriens de Reconnaissance at the end of the battles in the valley of Saint Elia, Belmonte and the Terelle road.
For the period of our victorious offensive which has just terminated, I wish to report the excellent training and effective shooting of the Assault Gun platoon of the 755th Tank Battalion.
On the afternoon of 24 May, our infantry attacked the wooded hill, 271, and the wooded heights to the east which proved to be great barriers against the destruction of the enemy pill boxes and for stopping counter-attacks.
Two squadrons of my Regiment were sent afoot to covert our North-East flank with the help of a Medium tank platoon, a platoon of lights tanks, supported of Tank Destroyers of the 7th RCA.
Starting at 1600 hrs. the enemy began a strong action against this flank. Artillery fire from tanks was coming from between Colle Grande and Colle Arduino, pinning the defenders to the ground, while enemy infantry was advancing down the valley covered by very high wheat and vines, were not stopped by our fire under less than 50 yards.
Meanwhile, the Battalion was no longer under my orders, the Assault Gun platoon continued supporting us. Alerted, it fired its first salvo on the tanks and set two on fire on the crest south east of Colle Grande, Continuing its observed firing, it crushed the enemy infantry by its barrages in the valley, it fire advancing progressively in front of our positions and responded precisely to our requirements for almost three hours.
We can definitely say at the end of the afternoon that, without the help of the Assault Gun platoon, 755th Tank Battalion, my squadron would not have been able to hold their position and fulfill this very important Division mission.
I ask you to please express my thanks and covey my congratulations to-
Lieutenant Branan, platoon leader,
Lieutenant Stratford, Artillery officer,
Lieutenant Hudson, his assistant
who were the artisans of this beautiful action.

Submit Your Favorite Candidates For Ron Paul Paul-O-Meter Rating
August 23rd, 2008 2:12 am | by Marc Gallagher | Published in Activism, Election, Liberty, Politics, Polling, Ron Paul | 0
The Paul-O-Meter is designed to rate candidates and office holders on how closely they measure up to Ron Paul on 20 criteria. We at Liberty Maven have rated the six main Presidential candidates and have recently added all Senators and members of Congress to the application. For a detailed description of the Paul-O-Meter check out the methodology.
We've added a new feature to the Paul-O-Meter. It occurred to us that we may not know about some wonderful candidates running for office around the nation. So now anyone can request a candidate be added to the Paul-O-Meter system. Once approved that candidate can be rated by anyone along with the existing candidates. This new feature will hopefully help draw attention to other liberty minded candidates running for office across the nation.
Check out the Paul-O-Meter here and submit your favorite freedom loving candidate for review.

Here, the beauty products we can't wait to test this month.
The wicker clutch that houses these brushes doubles as the perfect warm-weather evening bag: It goes with everything, and it's big enough for a phone, lipstick, credit card and crumpled cash.
($25, target.com)
The wearable brights in the compact perk up most complexions, but it's the '60s-inspired pouch that's a real find: roomy enough to hold loose change or jewelry.
($36 for the Milly print pouch and shadow/blush compact; $14 for Milly Pink Glosswear; clinique.com)
From now until September, we will use this simply chic bag—as well as the hair goods it contains: Fekkai Glossing Cream, Summer Hair Beach Waves and Sheer Hold Hairspray.
($350; neimanmarcus.com)
We're over the expression "Not your daughter's (fill in the blank)." However, it really does apply to this book, Makeup Your Mind: Express Yourself. François Nars, makeup artist extraordinaire, worked his magic on the faces of 62 real people—then wrote clear, detailed instructions on creating each look. The result is stunning and coffee table worthy, but it's the tips—and transformations—that make the tome worth owning ($45; narscosmetics.com).
It is with some reluctance that I write about designer Maison Martin Margiela's first fragrance, Untitled. This scent is so unusual, uplifting, sexy (I could go on) that despite my role as More's beauty director, I was tempted to keep it to myself. But it's on shelves now at Saks ($100; saks.com), so, alas, word's out. The scoop? Its green notes are deepened with white musk, and to try it is to love it. But please resist telling everyone . . .
For classic sorts, new muddy neutrals pick up where last spring's "greige" lacquers left off:
CND's collaboration with designer Jason Wu, a wear-with-everything collection of three neutrals plus a deep red and a top coat (five lacquers for $47; cnd.com).
For style mavericks, at-home (easy!) nail art livens up an everyday mani:
Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips ($9; drugstores) are "nail stickers" that last up to a week, are made of nail lacquer and come in cheeky patterns like Misbehaved (fishnet) and Frock Star (glitter), above.

Pekin Duck
White Pekin Duck
Breed Club SecretaryDucks come under the brief of:
· The Domestic Waterfowl Club of Great Britain
· The British Waterfowl Association
HistoryThis breed was imported from Peking into both England and the United States, in 1873. Both legs and bill are deep orange colour, and the plumage a kind of ferret-white, with a strong canary tinge, which becomes stronger still in the underfeather. The legs are set on rather far behind, which gives an upright or Penguin carriage.
Breed TipsOpen feathered so more likely to get mites / ticks / fly strike . . . watch in extreme humid heat for signs of distress. If found treat with sheep product such as Spot-on applied with a cotton wool bud to the base of the sull on the shoulders as all OP's are dodgy.
Keep as a trio or as a pair.
PurposeDual / Broody
Egg ColorWhite
Egg Numbers80 / 100 per annum
