CINCINNATI - The Tri-State is home to many fascinating facts, offbeat oddities, and "I did not know that," moments. With that in mind, WCPO asks "Who Knew?"
WHAT IS IT? Cincinnati's love of beer & baseball WHERE CAN I SEE IT? Great American Ball Park WHO KNEW? Bill Frank, Cincinnati Heritage Programs
Cincinnati has a reputation for being passionate about two things: Reds baseball and drinking great beer. Few know of how deeply rooted these traditions are, stemming back from the early days of the team and to a time when alcohol was not as widely accepted. Both were and continue to be enjoyed by fans throughout the summer.
We asked Bill Frank of Cincinnati Heritage Programs to tell us more.
How much beer did Cincinnatians consume in the 1880s?
At the time, the average Cincinnatian would consume 50 gallons of beer annually.
WCPO Insiders can read the full Q&A, and learn how beer put the Reds in hot water with other team owners.

WHAT IS IT? Cincinnati's love of beer & baseball WHERE CAN I SEE IT? Great American Ball Park WHO KNEW? Bill Frank, Cincinnati Heritage Programs
How much beer did Cincinnatians consume in the 1880s?
At the time, the average Cincinnatian would consume 50 gallons of beer annually.
How much did a beer at the ballpark cost back then?
In 1884, baseball fans could buy 21 beers for $1.00.
How did beer tie in with baseball?
Beer was regularly enjoyed at a Reds game, to the extent that the team was kicked out of the National League for 10 years because they wanted to serve beer during their Sunday games.
Why was beer not allowed on Sundays?
Eight team owners made up the committee for the National League, and seven of them disliked alcohol consumption and the idea of playing a ball game on Sunday. These leaders signed a pledge to outlaw doing either activity on the Sabbath, except for Cincinnati president W.H. Kennett. The team was ejected from the league as a result.
Then what happened?
Leaders of the Reds met with independent Midwestern teams and formed a rival league: the American Association. With its success, the National League invited the Reds to rejoin their club a decade later. After carefully weighing the decision, the Reds accepted the offer and aided in the expansion of the National League.

Choosing Activities that Matter
Your activities should be more than a list on your résumé. They should be a product of your attempts to explore new ideas, to challenge yourself by trying to understand the world and others' lives from a new perspective, and to really make sure that you are taking the right step in trying to become a health care professional. This interactive session will help you choose activities that actually do that.

Google Maps
To enable/disable maps in Events Manager, go to Events > Settings > Formatting > Maps in the admin panel and set Enable Google Maps integration? as needed.
When you add or edit locations, a Google map should appear and adjust itself automatically as you fill out the location information. The information you type is sent to Google maps API which automatically determines your location, so try and enter as much accurate information as possible (e.g. address, town, country). Once you fill in your information, you can also drag the position marker on the map to pinpoint the exact location if needed.
Then, you need to add a #_LOCATIONMAP placeholder in one of the format options in the settings page wherever you would like to show your map.
To edit the balloon content, see the settings further down. There are two different balloons you can customize, one being the balloon shown on a single location map, and the other is the balloons shown when viewing the global map which displays multiple locations at once.
Known Issues
If you have Google Maps deactivated, but then decide to reactivate in the future, you need to revisit the locations you created whilst maps was deactivated and save them again. When you open locations with Google Maps enabled it should automatically detect your address even if coordinates weren't previously saved.
Sometimes, people have difficulties with the balloon looking right on their screen.
When adding a new location, the map shows a grey Loading Map… that doesn't go away. What's wrong?
Most likely you have a javascript issue, and most commonly it's one of three things:
- Your theme has some bad javascript that breaks the rest and prevents Google Maps from loading
- You have a plugin that's conflicting with ours or breaking javascript like above
My the position on the map is not correct.
As of version 5.1.4, you should be able to drag the map position marker when adding/editing an event, therefore the below may not be as helpful anymore, but left for posterity.
When entering an address, if the map doesn't find it, try writing the address differently. Events Manager takes your address + town + state + postcode + country and submits it to Google for a location. If your address works on maps.google.com then it should work on Events Manager.

John Knox Village to construct new building

John Knox Village to construct new building
ORANGE CITY — John Knox Village of Central Florida is preparing to build a new two-story, 10,000-square-foot building at its 173-acre continuing care retirement community here.
"We're looking to expand and update our services to our residents and employees," said Joe Rudolph, associate executive director.
The Oak Park Senior Service Center project is in the rezoning and permit stages, but an October or November ground breaking is desired. The new center is being planned for a wooded site along Veterans Memorial Parkway, between Monastery Road and the Lake Spring Drive, the center's main entry, Rudolph said.
The new center will have a pharmacy along with out-patient rehabilitation and clinic utilizing John Knox Village's staff. It will also offer senior specialized training and education opportunities in driving, cognition and balance.
Rudolph hopes to have the building open by the fall of 2014. It will result in the hiring of five to 10 new employees, raising the center's employment level to about 530. There are nearly 700 residents.

text: May 2, 2013 17:18 Bleeding Rainbow brings psychedelic punk to Baton Rouge Bleeding Rainbow brings psychedelic punk to Baton Rouge Bleeding Rainbow Bleeding Rainbow Langdon Herrick| Special to theadvocate.com April 16, 2013; 4:36 p.m. Comments Bleeding Rainbow has a habit of rocking first and asking questions later. When the band formed they called themselves Reading Rainbow, potential retaliation from the PBS show of the same name was not even considered. The band's continually evolving style (and lineup) explores garage rock, punk, psychedelia and pop. The approach seems to be working, as the Philadelphia-based band has gotten rave reviews from Stereogum, SXSW attendees and Dave Groehl, among others. Baton Rouge will get a chance to experience the singularity of Bleeding Rainbow April 17, when the band plays at the Spanish Moon. The Baton Rouge show is part of a cross-country tour spanning New York City, Chicago, New Orleans and Seattle. It's the band's biggest tour yet and, like previous tours, has forced the band to evolve and grow in new directions. Bleeding Rainbow's original incarnation was simply a duo consisting of Sarah Everton on bass and Rob Garcia on guitar, but as they outgrew the small pond of the Philadelphia music scene, they realized they needed to bolster their ranks. "After our second album, 'Prism Eyes,' we did this tour with The Dodos where we were playing these huge-capacity venues, and we had never, ever done anything like that before," said Sarah Everton, who also provides vocals for the band. "On our albums we had more guitar tracks and stuff, so we couldn't even play all the parts of the songs exactly as they were onstage. We were just two people playing simple punk songs on these huge stages. That was when we decided to expand. So we texted our friend Al and said, 'Learn all of our songs on guitar.' Everton said that the band's original name, Reading Rainbow, was all fun and games in the early days when they weren't sure how far the band could go. When they began picking up steam, they decided not to risk any legal problems and changed the band's name. Everton said many people have speculated that the band received a cease and desist order for use of the name Reading Rainbow, but in reality that did not happen. "They renewed the trademark on the name because they're doing stuff online with 'Reading Rainbow.' So they renewed it in like 2010, so we could have gotten one, hypothetically, and it would have sucked," she with a laugh. Everton thinks the new name is a great fit for their band, though she finds it amusing how others interpret it. "It's funny because a lot of people think of it literally and really violently. Like, the flyer for our show tomorrow somebody drew a unicorn cut in half and it's bleeding a rainbow. But I think of it as just colors bleeding together. And it's also cool because it's kind of an homage to 'My Bloody Valentine' as well, who are a big influence," she said. Other artists that get a lot of play in the Bleeding Rainbow playlist are Nirvana, Stereolab, the B-52s, Devo and Sonic Youth. Everton says that the band's many influences make their sound hard to label. "I think what we all agree on is psychedelic punk. And we don't usually like pop punk, so we consider ourselves punk pop," Everton said. We're psychedelic punk pop with some post-punk influences. But it's funny. The more specific the genre labels get, the more we're like, 'Well …' For a while we were like, 'We are not garage!' But people would say we were, so we'd say, 'Well, we can see why you'd say that. But we're not.'" One thing audiences agree on is that Bleeding Rainbow puts on a great live show. Everton listed her must-have qualities in a live band and talked about how long hours on the road can sometimes make for a better show. "Sincerity and intensity. When we're stuck in a van all the time and we're bored all day and not moving around, there have been times where we really freaked out at shows and broke guitars and stuff. But it was always in this stupid, fun way that felt really genuine," she said. Everton said that the transportive power of psychedelic music is something they admire and strive to imbue within their own music. "It has a really heavy atmosphere. Like with Stereolab, it feels like you're going through a tunnel or outer space or something, and I've always loved music that does that," she said. "You get so sucked into it. You almost can't imagine it being created by people. It's like it's always existed." Bleeding Rainbow and The Cave Singers will perform at The Spanish Moon in Baton Rouge on April 17 at 7 p.m. More information about the band can be found at http://bleeding-rainbow.tumblr.com/ Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

Staff predictions for the second week of the NFL playoffs.
John DeShazier, sports columnist
Colts 26, Ravens 17
Cowboys 35, Vikings 28
Chargers 24, Jets 13
Saints 31, Cardinals 27
Last week's record: 1-3
Saints win because: The Cardinals forced three turnovers against the visiting Green Bay Packers in an NFC wild-card game last Sunday, scored 45 points on offense and still won by only six points in overtime. The guess here is the Saints won't be as giving, and though Arizona won't be bothered by playing on the road, I think being at home does give New Orleans the edge. It won't hurt that quarterback Drew Brees will have a field day, too.
Jeff Duncan, Saints columnist
Colts 31, Ravens 23
Vikings 28, Cowboys 24
Jets 24, Chargers 21
Saints 38, Cardinals 20
Last week's record: 0-4
Saints win because: New Orleans has been at its best in big games, and this one is the biggest so far. When the Saints play with a sense of urgency, they are very difficult to beat. The Cardinals were magnificent last week, but I think they'll have trouble duplicating that performance in back-to-back games.
Nakia Hogan, Saints beat writer
Colts 28, Ravens 17
Vikings 31, Cowboys 30
Chargers 34, Jets 20
Saints 41, Cardinals 38
Last week's record: 0-4
Saints win because: Although 34 days have passed since New Orleans won a game, the Saints also have been able to rest players with nagging injuries and get healthy. That time to heal should pay dividends, especially for the defense, which appears poised to return to its more opportunistic days. Look for quarterback Drew Brees and the Saints' offense to exploit Arizona's secondary, which showed against the Packers it will struggle against a high-octane passing attack.
Doug Tatum, sports editor
Colts 17, Ravens 16
Cowboys 28, Vikings 24
Chargers 31, Jets 13
Saints 38, Cardinals 21
Last week's record: 2-2
Saints win because: New Orleans tight end Jeremy Shockey is back. Cornerbacks Tracy Porter, Jabari Greer and Randall Gay are back. Linebacker Scott Shanle is back. Running back Pierre Thomas is back. Running back Reggie Bush is fresh. The Saints weren't the same team in December because injuries sidelined too many of their top players. With Shockey back (he missed all three losses), David Thomas can slide back to his fullback/H-back role, and the Cardinals will have to worry about Shockey going down the middle of the field. That should open things up on the outside for Robert Meachem and Devery Henderson. The Saints' offense slumped in the past three games because the Cowboys, Buccaneers and Panthers largely took away the deep ball, which has driven New Orleans' offense all season. Bush, with fresh legs, could have a breakout performance.
Mike Triplett, Saints beat writer
Colts 28, Ravens 16
Vikings 29, Cowboys 28
Chargers 30, Jets 20
Saints 34, Cardinals 31
Last week's record: 2-2
Saints win because: New Orleans lost its momentum at the end of the regular season, but it hasn't lost its confidence. I expect quarterback Drew Brees and Coach Sean Payton to be on top of their games, much like they were against the New York Giants and the New England Patriots. I expect the defense to be better with cornerbacks Jabari Greer and Tracy Porter healthy. Even though the Cardinals can score a lot of points, I don't believe there's any one area where they're better than the Saints.

May 22, 2012
SEATTLE - The United States men's eight qualified for the Olympics on Tuesday, and a pair of former Huskies had an instrumental hand in the process.
Despite missing out on initial qualifications at last summer's World Championships, the USA eight took advantage of a last-chance window with a win at the Olympic Qualification Regatta in Lucerne, Switzerland.
The USA eight featured two former UW rowers in Giuseppe Lanzone (McLean, Va.) and Brett Newlin (Riverton, Wyo.), who helped power the Americans over New Zealand by four seconds to cap a wire-to-wire victory on the Rotsee race course.
For the Americans, there was no other choice but to win or face the prospect of no berth in the Olympics. The back-door route became a necessity after the USA finished eighth in the men's eight at Worlds. The win-or-go-home design of the qualification races in Lucerne has often led many in the rowing world to term it the "Regatta of Death."
Lanzone and Newlin have been frequent fixtures on the USRowing national team since leaving Washington, from which they both graduated in 2005. The former, who came to UW from McLean High School in Virginia, competed for the USA in the coxless four at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, finishing ninth. Newlin also rowed with Lanzone in that same four at Beijing.
Both Lanzone and Newlin had distinguished careers as Huskies. Lanzone helped the Huskies win a Pac-10 Championship in 2003, as well as the prestigious Ladies Challenge Plate at Henley Royal Regatta that summer in England. Newlin transferred to Washington after spending his freshman season at Michigan State, but quickly acclimatized himself at Conibear Shellhouse, often rowing in the same varsity eight as Lanzone.

Destinations -> Hiroshima
Hiroshima, a large city of more than one million people, is located in Hiroshima Prefecture in the Chugoku Region of Japan. Hiroshima was an important castle town during the Edo period (1603 - 1867). It still retains many of its historic streetcar lines and runs some of its older streetcars.
Hiroshima is well known as the first city to experience the horrors of the atomic bomb, detonated on August 6, 1945. The bomb went off over the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall, located in what had been a busy downtown area.
Genbaku Dome (Atomic Dome)
The remaining few walls and steel framework of the Promotion Hall were preserved and is known as The Hiroshima Peace Memorial, though locals call it Genbaku Dome (Atomic Dome).
Peace Memorial Park and Museum
The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park was created in the area surrounding Genbaku Dome. The park, with its museums, monuments and lecture halls, serves as a memorial to the victims, a reminder of the devastation wrought by the bomb, and to advocate for the cessation of nuclear weapons.
The Peace Flame was lit in 1964 and has burned continuously ever since. The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum educates visitors about the bomb and contains many artifacts, including a clock which reads 8:15: the time the bomb exploded.The rebuilt city is often the site for conferences concerning peace and human rights.
Sightseeing in Hiroshima
Hiroshima has a rich history and visitors will find much to see and do. The Shukkeien Garden was established in 1620. Designed to represent a smaller version of nature, its name can be translated into "shrunken-scenery garden". Shukkeien Garden is a peaceful retreat in the midst of the large, bustling, modern city.
If you are lucky enough to be in Japan during baseball season we encourage you to see a game, which is a wonderful way to experience modern Japanese culture. Even if you don't like baseball you'll have a great time watching the fans, sampling the food and cheering for the local team, the Carp.
Hiroshima is famous for its food, specifically Okonomiyaki, a 'must try' for lunch or dinner. 'Okonomi' means as you like it and 'yaki' means cooked. It is hard to explain but we have never heard of anyone not liking it. The Hiroshima area is also known for its oysters.
An hour away, Miyajima, famous for its natural beauty and what appears to be floating Torii gate at Itsukushima Shrine, is a popular side trip for visitors to Hiroshima. Considered sacred as well as one of the most beautiful places in Japan, Miyajima provides a quiet atmosphere after the excitement of Hiroshima.

P.U.R.R. WV Helps Senior Cats Find a New Home
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on November 09, 2013 @ 6:04PM
Created on November 09, 2013 @ 5:04PM
Stray animals in the cold is something we don't look forward to seeing, especially during the upcoming cold winter months. For one organization in our area, they're giving some of our favorite four-legged friends a chance to have a safe and warm home.
November is National Adopt a Senior Cat Month. P.U.R.R. WV got the event together to give everyone a chance to adopt a new special friend.
Organizers of the event say even though everyone usually likes to adopt kittens, older cats are just as lovable and can make a favorite family pet.
"The older cats are more settle, but when you meet them, their personality comes through. You can have 10-12 years with these seniors, and you can fall in love," said Lorna Vincent-Vinter, of PURR WV.
5 News also spoke with someone who said its also important to get these cats out of the shelter so they can have a warm and friendly home.
"It's good to adopt to give them permanent homes, that way we keep the numbers in the shelters low. It's a good way to avoid suffering and overpopulation," said Sarah Nesbitt, student.
By the time 5 News arrived at Petco, most of the senior cats had already been adopted, and even if you didn't choose to adopt, it was a great time to come out and give these furry friends some love.

Biology: a logical and patient creature, evolved progressively for the last 4.5 billion years, often tells us one thing, while our mind (or personal character), a rudimentary collection of experiences and learned "facts" referencing only the years you've been on this earth, insists another. After two crashes while learning seat-standers, my body insisted I never wheelie with both feet on the front seat, EVER AGAIN. My mind, on the other hand, is determined to progress in this sport of stunting. Each day of practice became less of a physical sport and more of a mental one. How do "I" (my mind and conscience), convince "myself" (my biology, body, and instincts) to wheelie with both feet on my front seat using a hand brake? A battle of mind and matter, between I and myself.
After my crashes I approached seat-standers by clutching the bike up and parking it on the 12-bar. After mastering this, I could park it, but in no realm could I ride a seat stander wheelie out. After a broken-sub frame the habit of parking had to be put to rest(Score I: 0; myself: 1). My next approach was to slowly clutch it up right to balance point, as to avoid the handbrake, and try to sail along in a passive manner. This resulted in my body violently swaying around (screaming, put it down! Put it down for humanities sake!) throwing me off balance and in effect causing me to put the front wheel down (Score I: 0; myself: 2).
Now after way too much time to acceptable mention, I could park a seat-stander and clutch it up to near balance point, then wiggle until I was so wobbly I was forced to return to 2 wheels. My next tactic was fear. With stunting, scaring myself -gradually in tiny increments I find progression and final conquering of fear. Mentally I approached the wheelie with this pep talk, "If you repeat what you did last time, you're wasting your time and not progressing. For this wheelie you must and will, scare yourself, 1-2-3 GO!" Once in a wheelie and in the fear zone my mind would slowly talk my body through the events, "Doing a wheelie…going…brake…gas…going." Then I would say to myself, "Self, you are doing a seat-stander and clearly will live to tell about it."(Score I:1; myself: 2.)
One night after reaching to point where I was able to clutch it up, rock it back, tap the brake and actually ride far enough to consider writing about, both my mind and body were fouled out. Fouled out by neither mind nor matter, but mechanics! After riding nearly the whole length of the parking lot, my bike ran out of gas, slammed down, flung me over the front and then ran me over. Nice. A bit of fuzzy encouragement from the stunt gods; which left me with ripped clothes and black & blues which might obligate a call to the Guinness Book of Records. (Score I:2; myself:2, Yellow flag tossed in).
The Battle of "That One Time Your Bike Ran You Over":
With a swagger in my step, soreness in my muscles, and some irritating rash on my back; I was back to the lot and mentally ready to put this battle to sleep. By the end of the weekend I was rolling down the parking lot on idle, harking a win for mind and a triumph over what I like to term "fear" (when in reality it is probably just good common sense, but no one likes a party pooper-wheelies are fun!).
As both the winner and loser of this batter, my mind and body, could, on one level or another, be considered "Leah" I will offer defense for both sides. I appreciate my body's biological constant reminder of my mortal state; but tend to side with my mind as often the material limits of "impossible" must be pushed to create a new reality with greater options for a life full of choices and a truer pursuit of happiness. I am proud to announce a new option for me in this mortal life is seat-stander wheelies on a full size street bike and this make me extremely happy!

If there is a literacy practitioner whom you would like to nominate for a recognition award, the time to do so is now. The Literacy Assistance Center (LAC) will hold its 29th Annual LAC Literacy Recognition Awards ceremony this June. Deadline for the nominations form is Friday, Mar. 14.
LAC established the Literacy Recognition Awards to "focus attention on the accomplishments of individual practitioners and of the literacy field as a whole" because too often the "the vital work of literacy practitioners is honored only by their students and immediate peers."
Therefore, for the past 28 years, LAC, the Book Industry Guild of New York, and others have honored over 175 local literacy practitioners. Since 2004, the Book Industry Guild of New York has given awardees' programs a library development grant.
Peers, supervisors, or students may nominate candidates, who must be:
- Program administrators, teachers, volunteers, counselors, staff developers, or support staff members
- Employed in a program in basic education, ESOL, math, basic education in the native language, GED, family literacy, health literacy, or a related area
- Outstanding in their contribution to their students, their program, or the NYC literacy community
The ceremony takes place at the New School, Theresa Lang Community and Student Center Auditorium, on June 11, at 10 a.m. Submit the completed nomination form to Tony Pupello at email@example.com, or contact him for additional information.

Wolfowitz's Hotel Is Attacked in Baghdad
By THOM SHANKER
Published: October 26, 2003
BAGHDAD, Iraq, Sunday, Oct. 26— The hotel where Deputy Defense Secretary Paul D. Wolfowitz stayed overnight during a visit to Iraq was hit by what American soldiers said were rockets early Sunday morning, wounding a number of people. Mr. Wolfowitz was not hurt.
Shortly after 6 a.m., three or four explosions were heard outside the Rashid Hotel, where Mr. Wolfowitz and his delegation are staying. The hotel is also a center for American contract workers in Baghdad.
Although details remained sketchy shortly after the attack, it appeared that rockets hit on the 3rd, 8th and 11th floors. There were an unknown number of people wounded. At least three were seen being carried though the lobby on stretchers. Mr. Wolfowitz appeared to be unhurt, and he was rushed by security guards out a side door of the lobby. He appeared unfazed, and even exchanged greetings with correspondents who had rushed to the lobby. Smoke filled some of the upper floors, but there were no signs of a fire immediately after the attack.
The attack on the well-known Rashid, especially during the visit of a high-ranking American dignitary, will only serve to underscore security concerns for the American-led stabilization effort and questions about how best to rout loyalists of the Saddam Hussein government.
The rockets fired at the hotel came from beyond a tall security wall that marks the perimeter. One left a line of fireworks-style sparks as it came toward the building, and the 11th floor, where correspondents traveling with Mr. Wolfowitz were staying, shuddered.
One soldier outside the compound said 12 rockets had been left nearby on a generator. Six or seven remained, all set to go off. ''It looks professional,'' the soldier said. ''Whoever set this up knew what they were doing.''
It was the second attack on the hotel in a month. On Sept. 27, three explosive devices blasted through the concrete and barbed-wire cocoon of security around the main compound for Americans in Baghdad, hitting the 14th floor but causing little damage and no injuries.
Hotel residents were evacuated on Sunday through fire stairways, following a light trail of blood left by the wounded as they were carried out by colleagues and emergency medical workers.
The shell that struck a room on the eighth floor punctured a fist-sized circle through the window and wrecked the room.
The atack was a stark contrast to a visit to Kirkuk on Saturday by Mr. Wolfowitz, the intellectual architect of the plan to oust Mr. Hussein. There he wrapped a flak jacket over his button-down blue shirt and went out on foot patrol with paratroopers in volatile northern Iraq.
A little girl ran up and shouted, ''Saddam is a donkey!'' Mr. Wolfowitz laughed.
A young woman hugged him. He responded with Ramadan greetings in the smattering of Arabic he has taught himself.
A money changer plying his trade from a card table held up an old note with Mr. Hussein's picture, jubilantly tearing it to pieces. Mr. Wolfowitz, a former graduate school dean and not a politician, responded by discussing the progress in introducing a new Iraqi currency.
In the bustling marketplace of Kirkuk, Mr. Wolfowitz was cheered, exactly the kind of response that he desired and that his weekend trip to Iraq was devised to demonstrate to the American public, to skeptical members of Congress and to American allies.
But like the two Apache helicopter gunships that whirled overhead in a heavy security force, policy questions also shadowed his visit.
Almost six months since President Bush declared that major combat operations had ended, the administration is being dogged by questions about what America's mission is today in Iraq, and how well it is being accomplished. ''I think I'm a realist, as well as an optimist,'' said Mr. Wolfowitz, who visibly agonizes over reports of daily violence, attacks and death, but argues that perspective is missing in assessing the strides made in stabilizing and rebuilding Iraq, and pointing it toward democracy.
''If you measure this place by unrealistic standards, you can get discouraged,'' he said. ''If you measure it by the horror it's been through for the last 35 years, it's already an enormous breakthrough. And if you measure it by the quite impressive progress it has made in just six months, again it is encouraging.''
He did not deny that problems remained. But he appears indefatigable in making others take note of progress in creating a stable and democratic Iraq. He is undeterred by the continued attacks on American troops and Iraqi security forces, the setbacks in securing foreign commitments for more troops, and the sense of the long slog ahead that darkens Congressional debate and even appeared in a recent internal memo by his boss, Donald H. Rumsfeld.
Mr. Wolfowitz is a man in a hurry to make his point.
He is devoting a grueling weekend trip of 18-hour days to throwing a spotlight on a nascent women's rights movement, on easing ethnic and religious tensions, on the growth of Iraqi security forces, and on steps to improve quality of life by bringing power plants back online. No big change in strategy is needed, he said, just a greater determination to push onto the Iraqis responsibility for their own security and economy.

The Revealer would like to know what kind of questions the surveyers asked — we suspect that many Christians would say they experience the Christian faith through Jesus.
But the medium is the message, of course, and Jane Lampman's report in yesterday's Monitor is a fine addition to the great journalistic Book of Tim LaHaye — LaHaye being the main author of the bestselling endtimes Left Behind novels.
Lampman captures what's scary about the endtimes gang by focussing on their political clout, particularly with regard to Israel, and what's complicated about them as well. "This is not a monolithic movement," says one rapture believer. "You find people who are separatistic, and people who are very involved."
And all of them tend to defy stereotypes, such as "a Jewish African-American mortician from Buffalo, N.Y." named Barbara White, who "was 'saved' at age 7 by a pastor 'who was heavy on the rapture.'"
For more evidence of just how unexpected the rapture — or rather, its mediated manifestations — can be, stop by Proselytizing Media, Tanya Erzen's and Tal Halpern's terrific "virtual casebook" (the second of two produced by Center for Religion and Media participants) on the end of the world, as seen in print and on screen.

Antoine Hervť: Africa
Antoine Hervť (piano)
Inside (Nocturne Jazz)
Antoine Hervť (piano).
Composed by Antoine Hervť.
Recorded: Paris, December 2002
Rating: 88/100 (learn more)
It may sound at first like an African melody played on some kind of kalimba, but in fact Antoine Hervť plays this piece on the piano Ė both inside it as well as on the keyboard Ė while an electronic device that creates the strangest of atmospheres processes the sound. The interplay between the various repetitive voices quickly becomes fascinating, and the improvisation emerges from this maze in a very original way. More than a solo and not quite an orchestra, this may sound quite experimental, but it creates sheer beauty.

Darryl Jones, who has been the bass player for the Rolling Stones since 1993, is working on a second album with the Dead Daisies, an all-star rock band. In August 2013, the Dead Daisies' self-titled album was released in the U.S. and Canada on Caroline/Universal.
The lineup of the Dead Daisies consists of Jones; former INXS singer Jon Stevens; Guns N'Roses members Dizzy Reed (keyboardist) and Richard Fortus (guitarist); former Divinyls drummer Charley Drayton; and guitarist David Lowy.
Reed told Ultimate Classic Rock in an article published on Jan. 5, 2014: "We actually recorded three new songs in the middle of that last tour. When people hear it – there's not a lot of bands doing this – I think they're pleasantly surprised. You're making people happy because you're playing good rock'n'roll music. There's not any other way to describe it. It's just good rock'n'roll music."
The Dead Daisies completed a tour of Israel and is doing a brief tour of Australia in February 2014. According to Ultimate Classic Rock, the Dead Daisies plans to record music for its second album, whose title and release date are to be announced.
Jones will be back in Australia in March 2014 as part of the Rolling Stones' "14 on Fire" tour of 2014, which so far has announced dates in Asia, Australia and New Zealand.
At this point, it is unknown when the next Rolling Stones' album will be released since there has been no announcement about a new album. The most recent Rolling Stones studio album of new material was 2005's "A Bigger Bang." The Rolling Stones released two new songs ("One More Shot" and the Grammy-nominated "Doom and Gloom") on the 2012 Rolling Stones greatest-hits compilation "GRRR!"

It's hardly original thinking to offer the notion that the Obama Administration really welcomed the partial government shutdown.
That's despite all their rhetoric in wanting to get the latest continuing resolution signed, sealed and delivered to end the partial government shutdown and allow continued borrowing to feed their ravenous appetite for revenue.
The shuttering of about 20 percent of the federal government, and the crisis it was painted to be by the media – and various members of Congress – served as the perfect diversion and smokescreen to cover the disastrous rollout of Th...

This morning an urgent plea for prayer is being sent out; giving first-hand information regarding the unbelievable atrocities being perpetrated upon the people of Iraq and Afghanistan where children are being beheaded.
Americans have sent soldiers, money, weapons, equipment, doctors, and medical supplies, teachers and instructors to these two countries, but they did not send God.
God is the answer that man cannot give. God is the only answer. And here in America we continue to ignore God; and how long, how long before this is on our doorstep? Are Christians in America strong enough to see their children beheaded for refusing to deny Christ?
Corrupt leaders produce corrupt and bankrupted nations.
This author had the privilege of writing to 1,150 individual soldiers over a two year period and received many notes, photos, souvenirs, and mementos from thankful American soldiers. The photos in the slideshow were sent directly from a soldier who was serving there at the time.
Our soldiers began to love these children and would go out of their way to help them all that they could while at the same time being thankful that their children were safe at home in America out of harm's way. They were willing to die themselves and so many did.
It seems that some people in America care more about their pets and animals over the helpless needy children here and all over the world. Billions of dollars each year are spent for specialized treats, costumes, and gizmos for dogs and cats while children go hungry and shoeless.
Children are God's most promising future for the world. Children have been used, abused, and murdered since the beginning of time. When the Egyptians saw that the Hebrew people were growing in numbers – they sent out a decree to kill all the new born babies. Moses was saved by the hand of God for the greater purpose of leading the Children of Israel out of bondage.
When Herod did not want Jesus to survive and threaten his kingdom, he ordered that all babies under the age of two years old be slaughtered. Jesus was saved because Joseph acted when God spoke to him.
Babies were slaughtered by the Nazi's when one little woman named Irene Sendler saved the lives of two thousand and five hundred little Jewish babies from the Holocaust during World War II; and she was Polish.
Children here in America die every day from abuse, neglect, and even murder. A daily bombardment of news regarding these atrocities are falling on blind eyes and deaf ears as they have loose the shock and horror of what is happening. The hearts of Americans have become calloused, hardened, and immune to the emotions of even a few years ago. America relishes and gobbles up a steady diet of TV shows, movies, and videos depicting death, violence, and destruction. They are the blue plate special of the day.
Some things to think and pray about.
1. Jesus had this to say about the children. Luke 18:15-17
People were bringing babies to Jesus for him to place his hands on them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked them. But Jesus called the children to him and said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.
2. The Psalmist said that it is through the children that the world will be strong against their enemies. Please help this to be true by speaking out, praying, financing help for these children and children all over the world. It is time Americans got over being an American to the point where they do not see the worldwide need of children everywhere. Some say they would help those at home first; but seldom do that even.
Psalm 8:2 Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.
3. Ezekiel, a messenger of God, says: You slaughtered my children and sacrificed them to the idols. Ezekiel 16:21
4. Revelations 2: God is speaking not to the world but to the churches:
Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first.
Consider how far you have fallen!
Repent and do the things you did at first.
If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lamp stand from its place.
But you have this in your favor: You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God
Who were the Nicolaitans and why did Jesus loathe their practices so much? And He hated their deeds so utterly?
"The name "Nicolaitans" is derived from the Greek word nikolaos, a compound of the words nikos and laos. The word nikos is the Greek word that means to conquer or to subdue. The word laos is the Greek word for the people. It is also where we get the word laity. When these two words are compounded into one, they form the name Nicolas, which literally means one who conquers and subdues the people. It seems to suggest that the Nicolaitans were somehow conquering and subduing the people."
The genealogy of Nicholaitans is drenched in paganism and worshipping false Gods. (Right in the middle of writing this – my computer shut down….?????? Get behind me satan).
The writer of the explanation of who the Nicolaitnans says in closing:
"Just as the men of Israel compromised themselves with the world and false religions, now the "doctrine" of the Nicolaitans was encouraging compromise. As you are well aware, compromise with the world always results in a weakened and powerless form of Christianity. This was the reason Jesus "hated" the "doctrine" and the "deeds" of the Nicolaitans."
Following is the body of the e-mail received calling all of America to come together in prayer and resolve that these modern day Nicholaitans will be stopped.
Please Pray. .. and I don't mean just .."God help them."
I mean allow your heart to grieve and to seek Father God's heart.
BREAKING URGENT NEWS! The email below was sent to XXXXX from XXXXX (Names deleted for their security).
Dear Friends,
Just a few minutes ago I received the following text message on my phone
from XXXXX who leads Crisis Relief International (CRI). We then spoke briefly on the phone and I assured him that we would share this urgent prayer need with all of our contacts.
"We lost the city of Queragosh (Qaraqosh). It fell to ISIS and they are
beheading children systematically. This is the city we have been smuggling
food too. ISIS has pushed back Peshmerga (Kurdish forces) and is within 10 minutes of where our CRI team is working. Thousands more fled into the city of Erbil last night. The UN evacuated it's staff in Erbil.
Our team is unmoved and will stay. Prayer cover needed!"
For more information on the atrocities happening in Northern Iraq:
1.) ISIS Fighters Overrun Iraq's Largest Christian Town Qaraqosh, Residents Flee:
2.) Email Prayer Bulletin from International Prayer Council
3.) Iraqi MP Breaks Down in Tears Pleading Parliament to Save Yazidis from Genocide:
Please pray sincerely for the deliverance of the people of Northern Iraq
from the terrible advancement of ISIS and its extreme Islamic goals for mass conversion or death for Christians across this region.
May I plead with you not to ignore this e-mail.
Do not forward it before you have prayed through it. Then send it to as many people as possible.
Send it to friends and Christians you may know.
Send it to your prayer group.
Send it to your Pastor and phone him/her to pray on Sunday during the service - making a special time of prayer for this.
We need to stand in the gap for our fellow Christians. ~~~
End of e-mail hopefully the beginning of massive prayer services for these children. Thousands gathered yesterday for a farewell good-bye to the young man killed in Ferguson. Who will gather two by two to grieve the deaths of hundreds of children all over the world who have died; and will continue to die because of violence? Gather your children around you tonight, hug them, tell them that you love them, and pray as a family for these families who have lost their children by the hand of the evil oppressor. Don't think our kids haven't heard about this, and they are looking to us for answers.
Gather in your homes, in a closet at work, in the back of the school building, anywhere Christians can still gather… and pray this through with fervent and earnest prayers – God wants us involved in more than muttering, "God help them.!"
He wants us to help them. Regarding the restriction of praying in America. ---- "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord; not the lawmakers of America!!!!"
A representative of Rick Renner Ministries prayed this prayer at the end of his article on Nicolaitans.
May this be the true prayer of all Christians in America! Will you make this your prayer today?
Will you take come of your sports ticket money, eating out money, movie money, video game, money, or whatever entertainment money you will be spending this weekend and help fight for the lives of these children and the people who are on the firing line so desperately trying to make a difference?
Find you own personal favorite charity and send them even a small amount so you can to help these people before we end up like the statement of Martin Neimoller who said of Hitler's reign of terror:
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
My Prayer for Today
"Lord, after what I've read today, I don't want to allow any spirit of compromise in my life! I now understand that the doctrine of the Nicolaitans is compromise with the world.
Lord, I don't want to live with one foot in the church and another foot in the world. I want to break free completely from the world and its influence so I can give myself completely to Your cause!
I want to be holy, to live in a way that pleases You, and to experience Your power in my life. Today I am renewing my commitment to You all over again! I turn from the world, and I am running to You! I pray this in Jesus' name!" Amen
My Confession for Today
"I confess that I am free from the world! I do not walk in compromise! I am determined to live a committed and holy life before the Lord.
As a result of my firm determination to walk with God, I have power over sin, power over satan, and power when I pray.
God's Word promises that if I draw near to Him, He will draw near to me. I am drawing nearer and nearer to God every day, so I am confident that His Presence in my life is getting stronger too! I declare this by faith in Jesus' name"! Amen
Be sure to read the questions to consider at the end of the article quoted above in the Light Source Ministry.

The ten to one underdog Mayorga gave a fine account of himself against Miguel Cotto, but came up short in the skill department. (Chris Farina)Ricardo Mayorga didn't look out of place, like he deserved the severe underdog status as he made Miguel Cotto work his tail off in the main event at the MGM Grand on Saturday night. But Cotto delivered a vicious left hook to the chin in the twelfth, dropping the Nicaraguan, who showed ample stamina and skill before succumbing 53 seconds remaining in the last round, via TKO after Mayorga indicated he couldn't continue. Mayorga after the knockdown shook his left hand, and it looked like the ref would have to pull the plug. He continued, but Cotto jumped on him, and then the pain washed over Mayorga. His demeanor told the ref that he couldn't defend himself.
After, Mayorga told Jim Gray that it was his left thumb which rendered him unable to continue. "He hits really hard," the loser said of Cotto. "I got to look for a job," he said, stating that he would hang up the gloves. Cotto said he'd be open to a rematch with Antonio Margarito, but would let promoter Bob Arum hash it out.
All three judges had it 107-102 across the board, but seen in context, those scores were lopsided. Mayorga made Cotto work, and work hard, and if we scored rounds the way I'd like to see them scored, Mayorga would've earned some 9.5 rounds. I doubt that we've seen the last of a very useful, marketable boxer who has more boxing skills than he's given credit for.
The WBA 154 pound champion Cotto (age 30; from Puerto Rico; 35-2 entering ), a 10 to 1 favorite, weighed 154 pounds, while Mayorga (age 38; 29-7-1 1 NC entering; from Nicaragua) was also 154 pounds on Friday.
In the first, Cotto came out with a stiff jab. Mayorga swung wide and hard, as usual. He landed a right which had those that laid a bet down on him salivating. Ricardo went low, got warned, and tried to touch gloves with Cotto, who refused the gesture.
In the second, Mayorga whaled away. Cotto had been lured into an early rumble. But he settled down, jabbed, made the tone more to his liking. The underdog also settled down. He loved it when he made Cotto miss widely with a minute left.
In the third, Cotto seemed to have his joints lubed. Mayorga waved him over to a corner, and asked him to trade. Cotto didn't bite full on. He stayed outside, bounced, moved some, popped the jab. Combos were working now for the Puerto Rican. Mayorga didn't sit in between rounds.
In the fourth, Mayorga wasn't nearly as busy as before. But he stung Cotto with a flurry in the waning seconds.
In the fifth, Mayorga got hurt by some left uppercuts. Cotto was still a bit wild, wound up, overswinging at times. His left hook was connecting more but the Nicaraguan wasn't even wobbled.
In the sixth, Mayorga started the round looking as energized as he did when he began round one. Tongue in cheek, of course, but did anyone check his water bottle for a Panama Lewis special delivery? Mayorga by no means looked out of his class through six. Crude at times, yes, out his league, no way.
In the seventh, Mayorga scored with body work, right after Mike Tyson said he thought both men were sort of mailing it in, looking for a payday, without risking all. He buzzed Miguel, with a right to the ear, in the last 30 seconds.
In the eighth, ref Robert Byrd warned Mayorga for rabbit punches. A left hook hit Mayorga as he took a step back early. His right eye was puffy by now. Counter hooks landed on that eye, but didn't make Mayorga's legs buckle, not yet anyway.
In round nine, Mayorga was chopping with the right, throwing somewhat awkward combos, making Cotto earn his purse. Mayorga worked harder, and landed more in this frame. Tony Margarito, aming to rematch with Cotto, drew boos when his face appeared on the JumboTron after this round. He grinned and ate it up.
In round ten, Mayorga mocked Cotto, barked at him, as he pressed forward, and slipped effectively, and generally looked to be a peer in the skill arena. Cotto's jab was his best weapon here, as it smacked Mayorga's head back. The mega underdog had Cotto backing up to end the round. The round was close.
In the 11th, Mayorga threw bombs, and Cotto slipped them, and danced away.
In the 12th, Mayorga went down off a left hook, and got up. He was shaking his hand, his left hand. He got up, and Cotto went to work. Mayorga retreated to a corner and shook his head, to indicate that he wasn't up for continuing.

How was the card B-Sug? I didnt watch but I am surprised that Mayorga lasted so long.
Roast it was beautiful... Cotto looked to be on his way to a stoppage landing in the first half of the fight with a high percentage connect rate... then Mayorga went crazy and somehow pumped himself up daring Cotto to come in... jesturing wildly and whipping the crowd into a frenzy... Somehow Mayorga is like a psychotic,... meaning he's like crazy folks who get strong off their own adrenalin, and accomplish feats of physical prowess that they shouldn't be possible... Mayorga actually got stronger as the fight went into the later rounds and threw haymaker after haymaker... but Cotto was boxing too smooth and he showed the ability to absorb Mayorgas massive attacks... even though Cotto was still winning there was a sense that Mayorga might still get lucky... Cotto spent the second half of the fight in retreat but found an opening to blast Mayorga with a beautiful hook to the chin and he went down in sections... Cotto approached Mayorga to finish him off and Mayorga raised the white flag... No Mas said the Nicaraguan Bully... classic... it was worth the money.. an all action fight... Cotto slowed down in the second half but still showed dominance through his excellent boxing skills... I think he would be destroyed by Martinez.. Margarito was grinning ear to ear as he watched... he must be thinking " I can beat this guy without pads"... Cotto vs Margarito is a toss-up in my opinion as Cotto still has the problem of losing steam in the second half of the fight... but he still retains his good boxing ability and fought like a warrior tonight.
Wolak vs Foreman was exciting but Foreman is not the same and succumbed to the relentless pressure of Wolak, we didn't pay much attention to the other early bouts as the party was getting underway... the Vasquez fight failed to hold our attention. we were switching back and forth all night but managed to record the Cotto fight.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Five hundred photographs later between the two of us, I think we got a pretty good photograph of this Red Admiral butterfly on our secret trail in Rocky Mountain National Park.
We must have stood there for over a half an hour just clicking away, hoping that this little butterfly would open its wings. It obliged a bit but not as much as we would have liked!
I can't decide which pose I like better. Sometimes the under side of the butterfly is just as pretty, if not prettier, than the upper side.
isn't it just gorgeous? Which one do you like best?

When it comes to hair, I am a pretty firm believer, dirty is better. I find next day hair styles better and even looks better. Although not every hair type can pull off day two and three without washing, many can. And if you are like me and love your hair best the day after a wash I have a product that, I am sure, will quickly become your new best friend.
KMS California's Hairplay Makeover Spray. This is the perfect product for touching up your tresses in between shampoos. It is a matte spray made with rice starch which does an amazing job of absorbing the oils in your hair; disguising the day old look. Plus, the lovely peppermint and grape scent will leave your hair not only feeling and looking fresh but smelling wonderful as well.
Similar to a dry shampoo, Hairplay is a must have for your product collection. Making is easier than ever to have gorgeous hair between washes. Just simply hold 4-6 inches away from your head and spray hairplay into your dry hair, focus on your roots. Once finshed, rub fingers through hair to shake it up a bit and begin styling!

The second round of the World Superbike championship will be at the Motorland Aragon in Spain on April 14th and Kawasaki doesn't want to go unprepared so they have organized a three day test from April 2 to the 4th.
Since the Aragon circuit is Kawasaki's designated test track, factory riders Tom Sykes and Loris Baz will have the opportunity on finding a good set-up before the races and both riders will also have more than enough time to also check out their fitness following the injuries that they picked up in last month's Australian round.
Joining the Sykes and Baz on the track will also be Kawasaki's Supersport and Superstock 1000 FIM Cup teams, with the addition of Pedercini's SBK riders Federico Sandi and Alexander Lundh, and all five of Italian team's Superstock riders Lorenzo Savadori, Federico Dittadi, Leandro Mercado, Alessandro Andreozzi and Simone Grotzkyj Giorgi.

Vespa Dreaming
12 comments :
I am terrified of biking around cars too! It's seriously one of my biggest fears and totally gives me panic attacks just thinking about it. But, a Vespa I could totally do! Everyone out here in Hawaii has one and I totally want an aqua one. Definitely on my list.ReplyDelete
I just put that Inslee photo on my post for tomorrow of Sunday Loves! I'm studying abroad in Europe in the fall and I just want to be that chic girl zipping around the various countries on a Vespa!ReplyDelete
Love the Audrey Hepburn picture... these are too cute!ReplyDelete
My roommate has a vintage Vespa exactly like the one in the first picture (she never rides it though). I'm honestly terrified of them because in my mind, they're like motorcycles...two wheels and an engine, I'm not getting on!ReplyDelete
This post is kind of strange... was this sponsored by Vespa?ReplyDelete
My parents have a vespa, and I'm trying to get my permit so that I can ride it to and from work. I like that it costs less to fill the tank, but I'm still a little nervous to take it on busy roads. I love the first illustration. :)ReplyDelete
I'm thinking of getting a 250 motorcycle haha! :) They are fun to ride around on, but the one thing that's preventing me from actually getting one is other people. I mean you're a safe driver, you know what you're doing, but other people NEVER look out for you! My friend got into a really bad accident, but thank god he was wearing motorcycle gear that prevented him from getting hurt any more! Let's just say getting thrown off of a motorcycle at howmanymph? onto the road is not fun at all... I shiver thinking about it. But I think it'll be great on saving gas, a motorcycle holds more than a car... except I'll be having to carry my motorcycle stuff around lol.ReplyDelete
Every time I see a Vespa, I think of the Lizzie McGuire movie and when she and Paolo are riding around on that Vespa and it's basically every girl's romantic European dream.ReplyDelete
So I don't think I could ever really own one, but my inner European would love to ride around on one with a cute boy :)
I would love to ride a Vespa just once; just to say that I did it!ReplyDelete
How could you not love a good Vespa! I've been dreaming of a perfect pink one for years!ReplyDelete
My first thought when I saw that Inslee sketch was, my that looks an awful lot like the Dear Stella girl (a fabric company I used to work for). Indeed, she IS the Dear Stella girl!ReplyDelete
Love the "Roman Holiday" poster!ReplyDelete
