A Foggy Morning in the Merry Month of May
May is a wonderful month to visit Rocky Mountain National Park, but the weather can proove to be challenging. The good news for spring travellers is that snow storms aren't as commom, but like anywhere, you can still be surprised! This photo is from Many Parks Curve on a foggy May morning. Down low in the Estes Valley the fog was amazingly thick, but the higher we drove, the more it broke. We made it just in time for the sun to rise, lighting the top of that foggy layer and dusting the clouds with golden orange rays. Just an hour later the foggy seas lifted, uncovering a glorious day!

You're on Vacation: What's for Dinner?
Many people share a similar dilemma while on vacation: you don't really want to cook (it is vacation after all!), but eating out in restaurants can be expensive and difficult with a group. Many of us start off our vacations with the best of frugal intentions, and purchase a whole cart of groceries when we get into town, and then we end up tossing a bunch of it in the trash upon check-out. Another challenge vacationers face is the inevitable crowds at restaurants. It can be hard if you are travelling with children, and even adults grow tired of long lines and noisy restaurants.
One Estes Park business woman has come up with an answer! Personal Chef Patsy Walker, owner of Patsy's Cook-In "At Your Place" will plan a menu, purchase the ingredients, and cook a delicious meal right in your vacation condo. If you have special dietary needs, or simply prefer a home cooked meal without the preservative, Patsy will customize the menu to meet your needs. She even does the dishes!
Think a personal chef is a luxury? Patsy responds, "Most people think it is a luxury they can't afford. But once they consider the cost of other dinner options, my service becomes very affordable. Clients tell me they are saving money because they aren't buying take-out and restaurant meals. And they are no longer throwing away groceries purchased with the good intention - but no time - to prepare them. Think about what your precious time in the evening is worth...and what you would do with more of it."
Patsy's Cook-in "At Your Place" had to close - we'll miss them!

WILLIAMSTOWN - In last year's two matchups between the Belpre Lady Golden Eagles and the Wood County Christian Lady Wildcats, offense was at a premium as the two teams combined for a grand total of 134 points in the two games.
What a difference a year can make as the two teams matched that two game total in the season opener for both with the visiting Lady Eagles outscoring the Lady 'Cats 71-63 Tuesday evening.
Belpre connected on nine three-point shots in the game and also made good on 18-of-24 free throw attempts to hold off a pesky WCC team to begin the season on a good note.
"It pays off when you are able to shoot three's like that early in the season," said Belpre head coach Scott Miller, whose girls connected on 9-of-16 shots from behind the arc. "We've been really emphasizing our free throw shooting as well and did what we needed to do tonight from the foul line."
Last season Belpre won by 18 and 20 points in the two meetings between the two but had their hands full from the beginning with Wood County Christian.
The lead changed hands some 14 times in the opening half alone before the Eagles scored the final five points of the half to take a 36-31 lead into intermission.

Team Stats
Belpre (1-0): Shooting: 22-61 (36.0 percent), Three-Point Shooting: 9-16 (56.2 percent) (C.Barker 3, Hughes 3, S. Barker 2, J. Cunningham 1), Rebounds: 27 (L.Cunningham 8, J. Cunningham 4, Packard 4), Assists: 15 (Lawrentz 4), Turnovers: 21, Steals: 13 (S. Barker 4), Team Fouls: 18.

Next games: Belpre vs. Caldwell at Marietta College, Saturday 5 p.m., Coshocton Christian vs Wood County Christian, today 5:30 p.m.
Wood County Christian got 17 points from sophomore Heather Lord in the first half and 10 more from her twin sister Hannah to match the red-hot shooting Eagles shot-per-shot.
"Last year was their first year of playing organized ball," said WCC head coach Dave Weekley of his twin guards. "They really picked it up at the end of last season and now they have picked up right where they left off."
Belpre finally managed to put a little space between it and the Lady 'Cats early in the second half as it used a 17-7 run to take a 53-38 lead late in the third quarter.
Sierra and Cheyenne Barker each hit a triple in the Belpre run and the Golden Eagle defense forced 10 WCC turnovers in the third quarter.
Cheyenne Barker finished the third quarter with a basket with an assist from Sierra and Sierra got the final quarter started with a steal and a bucket at the other end to give Belpre their biggest lead of the game at 57-41.
Wood County slowly began to chip away at the lead as Heather Lord hit back-to-back field goals and Hannah converted on a pair of free throw attempts to trim the lead to 59-49 with just over five minutes to play.
After Cheyenne Barker made good on one-of-two free throw attempts, Heather Lord answered with another basket to cut the lead to nine, but Belpre sophomore Hannah Lawrentz let the air right back out of the Lady Wildcat balloon with four points in a row to push the lead back to 64-51 with two and a half minutes to go.
The Eagles finished things off at the charity stripe to open the 2013-2014 campaign with a win.
Miller was pleased with his team's offensive performance but felt the Golden Eagle defense will need to improve for them to have a successful season.
"We are really going to have to go to work on our defense," said Miller, in his fourth year at the helm of the Lady Eagles. "They (WCC) were solid but we gave them to many good looks at the basket."
Belpre placed four girls in double figures with Cheyenne Barker and Katelyn Hughes leading the way with 17 and 16 points respectively while Sierra Barker chipped in with 13 points and four steals and Lawrentz added 10."
Heather Lord led all scores with 32 points while also coming up with five rebounds and five steals, while Hannah Lord finished with 17.
Katie Ward just missed a double-double as she tallied nine points and ten rebounds for WCC.
Despite the loss Weekley was pleased with the effort put forth by his team against a tough Belpre squad.
"Offensively we are very happy, but defensively we aren't quite where we want to be. You have got to give some credit to Belpre as they shot so well tonight," said Weekley. "I am not a big fan of morale victories but this is as close as I'll admit to having one."
The two will get to see one another very soon as they are scheduled for a rematch in Belpre on the third of December.

Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)
by Beyoncé
Whether "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" is a meaningful song, or just a fun one, it's definitely a fun one. We can tell there's something brilliant about the song, but what exactly is it about the beat and the harmony that inspires everyone from tiny babies to Justin Timberlake to get their dance on?
"Single Ladies" was produced by Beyoncé along with the same dynamic duo ("Tricky" and "The-Dream") who produced Rihanna's 2008 hit "Umbrella." Compared to most other pop songs, there are a couple of weird things about the song's sparse, simple arrangement.
What's weird about the beat:
The song is in 4/4 time. Nothing strange there, but most pop songs in 4/4 have a "back beat"—a clap, snap or snare drumming out the beat on every other note (usually the 2nd and 4th, which has the effect of emphasizing the 1st and 3rd notes; listen to Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' "Empire State of Mind" for an example). In "Single Ladies," instead of a back beat, we hear a consistent clap on every single 8th note (that's twice every beat). That's what all the upbeat clatter is, and it is basically the only percussion in the song. This has the effect of putting an equal emphasis on each of the four beats in the measure. As one music commentator points out, this emphasis "is reinforced by the dancing in the music video, in which the choreography consists largely of Beyoncé jolting around on every beat."
On top of the unusual back beat, if you listen closely, you can hear a snare drum on the last count of every measure (the last "and" if you count one-and-two-and-three-and-four-AND). Listen closely for the single snare behind the song and you should be able to catch what makes this song's beat so strange—and so catchy.
What's weird about the harmony:
Mostly, the tune of "Single Ladies" is pretty standard, simple stuff. And during the chorus ("If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on"), Beyoncé is singing a simple major scale (E major, to be specific). But a bass synth comes in on chords from the key of E minor. This semi-spooky contrast between the melody and the chords is a risky move called polytonality, "a technique normally reserved for highly esoteric jazz and classical music," according to the music commentator quoted above. It also give an ominous undertone to the most bitter, complicated line of the song. Who knew a single song could be highly esoteric, highly vindictive, and highly dance-able?

There is wisdom about attractive news readers to be had from noted media critic David Wooderson:
Another Liz Dueweke will come along.
A few months ago, we lost Joleen Chaney — the second hottest and nicest girl in the Oklahoma City media — to an engagement. After hearing the news, I spent a couple of weeks in a state of shock. I was constantly weeping and asking "Why…Why," but after some deep thought and reading those books that inspired BeeBee Jonez to retire for six months, I realized the entire thing was probably a vast conspiracy by some conservative lobby group.
Well, it looks like my theory has been proven true. The conservatives really are out to get us! On Saturday night, KOKH Morning Anchor Liz Dueweke — the hottest and meanest girl in the OKC media — announced she is engaged to KFOR's AJ Mertz. In addition to that, we're hearing rumors that Liz may be leaving for Seattle! Talk about a double whammy. Not only does she get engaged, but then she skips town. Why don't you cut out our heart, show it to us while we're alive, and then tell us you've built up an immunity to iocane powder while you're at it?
First, here's a tweet about the engagement:
Now that my boyfriend just proposed to me…what am I supposed to complain about now?! @ajmertz
— Liz (@LizDueweke) February 17, 2013
She may be mean and only lack a sense of humor, but congrats to Liz and AJ. We wish nothing but the best for them. May their first child be a masculine child.
In case you forgot, this is what her future husband looks like. He kind of gives hope to all other incredibly average guys that they can score a rude, totally-better-than-you hot chick if they get lucky:
This is they type of clothing he wears:
And this is his Twitter background pic:
So not only does he get to bang Liz Dueweke and wear Baby Gap polos, but he's a Miami Heat fan. What a cruel world we live in.
Anyway, enough about that f-cknut, lets take a look at the ring:
The ring: twitter.com/LizDueweke/sta…
— Liz (@LizDueweke) February 17, 2013
And lets take a look a Liz pandering for compliments after posting a pic of the ring. It wouldn't be a Liz Dueweke post without that:
@ryanwooddfw it is on my hand. But my hands are not photogenic. Lol. They'd only ruin the ring photo.
— Liz (@LizDueweke) February 17, 2013
Of course, the pandering worked. Poor little Liz and her ugly hands!
@lizdueweke Oh, give me a break!!Lol.
— Ryan (@RyanWoodDFW) February 17, 2013
In addition to her engagement, there's another development to this story. We think Liz Dueweke may be relocating to a new market, possibly Seattle.
Last week, I received a Tweet from a Mole pointing me to the following job opening on the Channel 25 website. It was posted on February 14th. They're looking for a new morning anchor:
KOKH-TV, is looking for a morning news anchor to join our team. If you are a news junkie who can't wait to get to work every morning, we want to hear from you!
The ideal candidate will be engaged with social media, be a proven performer on the anchor desk, and have the ability to ditch the prompter and ad-lib in breaking news situations. This is an exciting opportunity to help us take our morning news product to the next level. We are looking for strong writers with sharp news judgment and the ability to work well with others. Our anchors are expected to regularly interface with our community and make appearances on behalf of our stations. We are looking for individuals who are self-starters and who can generate their own story and sweeps ideas.
You will be required to produce daily content on a variety of platforms including internet, social networking and mobile along with other duties assigned by the news managers.
The Mole would not confirm or deny who, if anyone, is leaving Channel 25, but did mention the news station is "getting a new blonde" and that "Seattle is getting paid back for losing a basketball team." If the Mole is referring to Dueweke — and I think he/she is — that would make sense. I've heard rumors from Moles that Liz isn't the biggest fan of OKC, and she has one of those resume pages online.
Her departure would also help explain why AJ waited until now to pop the question. Think about it. If your hot, longtime girlfriend was moving to Seattle and you had to stay behind in Oklahoma City, wouldn't you lock that shit down? I wouldn't because I'm a smooth operator, but a smart man would get a ring on her figure and figure out a way to get to Seattle before she falls in love with some barista.
Anyway, we haven't confirmed that Liz is in fact leaving, but the Mole testimony and circumstantial evidence seems to point to it. Then again, perhaps we're wrong and the hot blonde the Mole was referring to was Tiffany Tatro. She's not a blonde, but I don't think anyone really pays attention to her hair color.
There is wisdom about attractive news readers to be had from noted media critic David Wooderson:
Another Liz Dueweke will come along.
That's a good scoop on both accounts but you should change her name to "mean Diz Luewke."
Or Liz Doohickey.
We need them to do one of those annoying "He went to Jared!" commercials now in dreary miserable Seattle.
When is Patrick going to release some of those "mean" messages Dueweke sent him after he mocked her boo? If he can't release whole messages, he should at least release some juicy quotes from it. We deserve to know the darkside of Dueweke!
"9-11 is my favorite holiday." – Liz Dueweke
Good riddance to the orange girl with the snarling smile. Seattle's loss is our gain.
Is she taking the 25 lbs she put on since that purple dress pic was taken with her?
What a bitch. Wahh, my fingers are fat, wahh. Life is so hard!
From Mertz's Twitter bio: "Heat/Thunder fan"
hehehe, doohickey
Baby gap…Hahahahahahaha!!!!
[…] Liz "Mean" Dueweke is engaged and probably leaving for Seattle…Feb 18, 2013 […]
Thanks! Your message has been sent!

It's no holiday for Chief Lee Wetherington or Aiken County Sheriff Michael Hunt.
The two spent the day looking for the suspect.
We got a lot of leads overnight, we'll be jumping on these and following those till the end," Wetherington said.
Since Tuesday, more than 100 leads have flooded into public safety.
Though the suspects' composite drawing remains on store windows along highway 25, Chief Wetherington is asking for less attention on this sketch.
He said, "There's some things we're working on now that may be on the composite, may not be on the composite, so don't rely totally on the composite."
Investigators say the most important fact in this case is the suspect's weapon: an SKS or AK-type weapon that looks similar to this.
Police urge you to call them, if you know anyone who owns that type of gun.
Meanwhile, the congregation from Little Horse Creek Baptist Church is helping with a free Thanksgiving dinner for the Graniteville community.
Their pastor Earl Carter helped organize this feast.
"He was deeply involved and he believed in it," said the pastor's friend, Charles Akester.
Carter is one the men shot tuesday. He's recovering in the hospital.
Church member Ray Fields said, "First thing we did this morning, we had prayer for him."
The congregation has a lot to pray for this Thanksgiving: healing for their pastor, peace for the family of their pastor's friend who was shot and killed, and an end to this story: The capture of the shooting suspect.

Jacob Lew's Interview on Charlie Rose – 12 Takeaways
Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew on Wednesday said Americans were getting "confusing cross signals" on the health of the labor market and had a bullish outlook for the economy this year, in a wide-ranging interview with Charlie Rose.
He also said the country would only truly know whether new regulations prevent any company from being "too big to fail" during the next financial crisis, when new rules are put to the test.
Mr. Lew weighed in on everything from China to immigration policy; the debt ceiling to President Barack Obama's legacy. He stopped short, however, of offering new policy ideas or giving hints as to what might be in the White House's budget proposal next month.
Here are some key takeaways:
More In Jacob Lew
- Former Treasury Officials Urge Lew to Reconsider Inversions Rules
- Jacob Lew: Americans Will Work Hard if Jobs Pay Decent Wages
- Treasury Secretary Lew: No Recollection of Clinton Email System
- Lew to Germany and Japan: Be More Like Us
- Obama to Discuss Wall Street Oversight With Yellen, Others
- Strong Support for Congressional Action on Inversions -- WSJ/NBC Poll
1) Economy: Mr. Lew appeared to concur with outside estimates that the economy could grow at or beyond 3% in 2014 and 2015, though he was careful not to pinpoint an exact figure. When asked about two straight months of disappointing jobs numbers, Mr. Lew tried to pick out positive highlights, such as a growth in construction jobs. Several more months of weak jobs numbers, however, and Mr. Lew and other White House officials might have to adjust their talking points.
2) Growth: Mr. Lew said that for the first time in several years, the economy was beginning a year with "tailwinds." He reiterated the White House push for more spending on infrastructure, which he said should have bipartisan appeal.
He said that while there are a number of different data points worth watching, "the trajectory over the last six months has undeniably been in a positive direction."
3) Budget: He said Republicans' willingness to allow a "clean" debt ceiling increase was in large part a result of the blowback from the October government shutdown. "People learned from it," he said.
4) Immigration: He said he's "optimistic" a deal can get done (few people in Washington are optimistic an immigration deal is obtainable). "I would personally argue that this is a case where good policy and good politics ultimately come together, which is one of the reasons why I'm more optimistic. I'm not saying it's a certainty. But the conversation's by no means over. And, you know, the challenge of doing hard things is to keep at them."
5) Obamacare: He largely dodged a question about Mr. Obama's statement a few years ago that if people liked their health care plan they would be allowed to keep it under the new health care law. "I think people are seeing the choices they have clearly. And I think people are going to like the choices they have as they understand them. That's going to be ultimately the test. It's not about what people said two or four years ago."
6) Too big to fail: Mr. Lew said regulators were working hard to finalize banking rules, and said some more notable rules would be completed shortly. But he said the ultimate test of whether they have eliminated the notion that any company is "too big to fail" will come during the next financial crisis. "Well, the question that you asked — that I'm frequently asked — fundamentally can only be answered in a financial crisis. And the question is, have we made dramatic changes? Are we dramatically stronger? The answer to that in unequivocally yes."
7) Financial market risks: He said regulators have made lots of progress in tightening regulatory gaps, but he pointed to two areas that he said need more work. One is what he called the "shadow banking" sector, where he said "there's been a shift to resources into institutions that are outside of the traditional banking world." He also said policy makers have more work to do to make sure that if a multinational company falters, as Lehman Brothers did in 2008, there is a structure in place to handle it across multiple countries.
8) Europe: Mr. Lew – without naming names – took another shot at Germany. The Treasury has said Germany needs to do more to spur demand in Europe. "So, you have to look at these major parts of the world economy and say, 'What could they do to grow more?' And we've been clear that in Europe, we think that the countries that have surpluses could do more to stimulate growth, stimulate demand. Europe needs demand. The world needs more demand."
9) Cyber security: Mr. Lew spent a large amount of time discussing China. On the issue of intellectual property theft, Mr. Lew made clear this is a delicate issue that keeps coming up with the Chinese. He said Chinese leaders recognize that changes need to be made to protect U.S. companies from cyber theft, but he said action so far has been slow at best. "I think that there's an understanding, and I do believe that there's a commitment, and I haven't yet seen the sequence of events that will give us confidence it's happening. And that's why we have to stay engaged and keep pressing because the more we push the more progress they make."
10) China: In a rather bold statement, he said the direction of the global economy depends in large part on growth in the U.S. and China.
11) Emerging markets: He made a careful – but clear – barb at some emerging market economies when asked about problems in Turkey, India, and Brazil. He said he wasn't going to "name names" but said "I think if you look at the performance of currencies and the performance in the market, there is a real differentiation between countries that have taken the tough decisions and countries that maybe haven't."
12) Accomplishments: Mr. Lew said Mr. Obama still had a number of priorities for the remainder of his term in office, and he anticipated that at the end of it many will remark on how much was accomplished. "When people look back they're going to say, 'Boy, they got a lot done.'"

'Every Day without Israeli Sovereignty Advances the Palestinian State'
There must be accelerated and frequent action in and out of the Knesset, until the "historical crack" is found, through which the application of Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria can be advanced.
In a conversation with 'Sovereignty,' Israel Prize Laureate Geula Cohen alerts and states that "every day that passes without the application of sovereignty advances the establishment of the Palestinian state."
"The correct and proper solution is Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria," she says and calls for extra-parliamentary action in addition to the parliamentary action to advance the idea. "The road to achieving this doesn't pass only through conventions and committees but also through parliamentary preparation and waiting for the appropriate historical opportunity to pass the sovereignty bill. There needs to be a group of MKs that will present the bill and bring it up at the right time and pass it in Knesset. That requires parliamentary work."
"There is no group in the Knesset currently dedicated to this purpose. This must be their official goal, a goal which they push and raise in Knesset, even if the bill fails again and again," she says and recalls the days when she passed the Golan Heights bill and the Jerusalem bill. Then too the bill passed after failing and being rejected and waiting for the right time.
"The infrastructure must be prepared and then the matter must be raised on the agenda every single day, because you never know when it's this bill's day or that. When I tried to raise the Jerusalem bill I went from MK to MK to prepare for the political moment. As long as there are leaders like Yehudit Katsover and Nadia Matar the matter won't come off the agenda. They stand guard and I see them looking for the historical crack in order to raise the matter on the agenda.
But that isn't enough. It requires work inside the Knesset as well, and there MK Orit Struck from Hebron and others are acting from the inside."
Nonetheless when she looks at the structure of the Knesset, Geula Cohen is convinced that the current political reality will make the task easier than ever. Netanyahu's public opinions regarding the establishment of a Palestinian state don't particularly impress her. She estimates that MKs will be able to create a majority which will pass the sovereignty bill and turn it into a done deal which will be forced on Netanyahu. "Politics is about seizing opportunities. There are times where that which was impossible yesterday is possible today. The world didn't want a Jewish state either, so what? If the MKs get a majority it will be a done deal."
"Netanyahu already spoke of 2 states so it will be difficult to pull the move off through Netanyahu himself, but today there are a few fighter MKs that I don't think will let him pass it. Netanyahu himself doesn't dare raise it on the agenda, and why doesn't he pass it or raise it on the agenda? Because he can't, and maybe he doesn't really want to either."
In regards to the issue of the status of the Arabs of Judea and Samaria the day after sovereignty is applied, Cohen is convinced the autonomy solution will work. In her opinion the Arabs themselves will also eventually agree to such a generous offer like that. "We have to give them the option to rule themselves in a manner that will allow for national existence, cultural existence, their own education system, everything besides government and security. Eventually Palestinian parties can also be persuaded that they are receiving something just short of a state. There are parties we can cooperate with. When I raised the Jerusalem bill there was also turmoil and chaos. People warned that a war will break out and eventually it turned out that the Arabs took it much easier than we had warned ourselves."SOVEREIGNTY

8 Responses to "'Every Day without Israeli Sovereignty Advances the Palestinian State'"
Israel is Ours no matter what they say
as someone who supports freedom of religion and libertarian democracy in the Holy Land, and opposes the idea of a "Jewish State", although I do hold a religious devotion to the Land that is devoid of political connotation as a personal religious belief, I strongly feel that the State of Israel MUST annex the land they won in 1967. The so-called Palestinians should become Israeli Arabs. The leadership of the so-called Palestinians have proven themselves unfit to lead a sovereign state, and should rather be incorporated into the State of Israel, which has proven itself to have a relatively high modicum of democracy and freedom, particularly for that region, although they do have some more to go to true freedom, which must include a recognition of conscientious objector status to non-Zionist Jews who do not want to serve in their military. However, it is possible, that annexation of these territories would spell an end to the Zionist nature of the State, which would lead to fewer objectors, as well as squelching a great deal of the animosity that the Arab world has against Israel.
Netanyahu wants at any cost the " Peace Nobel Price", if he can sell his mother he will do the same thing, the MK are lasy people, they have a good leaving, without so much problems, they don't want complicated issues like this.
It is madness to include Area A and the Arab-inhabited communities in Area B in the plan to declare sovereignty over the West Bank. And it is equally madness not to declare sovereignty over the rest, over which Israel became the legal sovereign in 1967 when it took control over what had been held in trust for it since 1922 by the international community. It gave away Area A, parts of Area B and Gaza under the Oslo Accords and would be crazy to take any of those back with all their Jew-hating Arabs. It can tolerate the 50,000 or so in Area C, although offering them compensation to leave wouldn't be a bad idea.
The palestinian arabs should be offered their own country in Jordan! All arabs that do not swear allegiance to Israel should be given directions on how to cross the Jordan river into Palestine!! Problem solved!!
Israel a chosen nation by God Himself. He is watching over it.
I've been following Geula Cohen for decades. She's probably the most honest, sincere and consistent politician Israel has ever had.
Guela Cohen is correct. First a bill for Area C as this will be easier to pass as it where the the Jews live and a small amount of Arabs.

Definition of picture postcard in English:
picture postcard
1A postcard with a picture on one side.
Example sentences
- The collection of 25 letters also features a picture postcard of Williams as well as some poem translations.

- Small villages by the Rhine, dotted with shiny slate-roofed houses and occasional churches with tall spires looked right out of a picture postcard.
1.1 [as modifier] Prettily picturesque, like the scenes typically shown on picture postcards: a picture-postcard thatched cottage

Weiner's Wife Sends Fundraising Email
Huma Abedin, a longtime associate of former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, emailed a fundraising solicitation Tuesday on behalf of husband Anthony Weiner's campaign for New York City mayor.
"You probably never thought you'd receive an email like this from me, and I never imagined I would be sending a note to friends about a mayor's race," she wrote. "I've spent most of my adult life working to help the people and causes I believe in, though I have always tried to remain behind the scenes. But, as Anthony begins this journey and puts his all into his race for mayor of New York City, I want to tell you how excited I am to support his campaign."
In 2011, Mr. Weiner resigned from Congress after he admitted he sent sexually explicit photos to women and then publicly lied about it. The former congressman launched his comeback campaign in May, asking voters to give him a second chance. He's told the public that Ms. Abedin has forgiven him and that he hopes voters will, too.
Ms. Abedin appeared in the video message launching the campaign and was recently a headliner at a fundraising event. She is said to be fully supportive of Mr. Weiner's campaign.

- Joe Lhota's Daughter Discusses the GOP, Her Dad's Taste in Shoes
In the email, Ms. Abedin acknowledged this will be a "challenging" race. But it's a "worthy journey," she wrote.
"Anthony's campaign is fueled by high ideals, good ideas, and hard work. No one is more committed to the people of New York than Anthony," she wrote. "His energy and innovative plans for the middle class and those struggling to make it would transform our city."
Ms. Abedin wrote that she believes the campaign is off to a "terrific start." Last week, a poll from The Wall Street Journal-NBC 4 New York-Marist showed Mr. Weiner ahead of rival Christine Quinn, 25% to 20%, for the first time.
Mr. Weiner unsuccessfully ran for mayor in 2005 and had planned to run again in 2009, but he opted to forego that race after Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced his intentions to seek a third time. The bulk of Mr. Weiner's campaign war chest is from donations collected in anticipation of the 2009 race.
"As the campaign takes off he needs more and more volunteers, and like everyone running for office in this day and age, help with fundraising," Ms. Abedin wrote in her email appeal.

NEW MATAMORAS - It all came down to one play.

Fort Frye's Derek Layton (31) gets ready to collide with Frontier's Donovan Boley (32) during PVC football action in New Matamoras Friday night. The Cadets won 32-20.
JORDAN HOLLAND The Marietta Times
Fort Frye quarterback Chandler Lang (11) passes from the pocket against Frontier Friday night.
Fort Frye head coach Eric Huck, wisely, put the ball in quarterback Chandler Lang's hands. Rolling out to his right on a bootleg, Lang realized Frontier had all the gaps closed, but noticed one of his teammates, Zach Prichard, standing alone in the end-zone. Lang fired a strike to Prichard for the touchdown to crush the hopes of the Cougars and send the Cadet fans home happy with a 32-20 win.
"It was supposed to be a comeback (route)," Prichard said of the final scoring play. "I told Chandler to run if it was open, but the corner back came up so I decided to try and float back. Chan saw me, good field vision, and sealed it off."
Lang said everyone did their part in contribution to the W.

"I thought the team did a good job digging down deep in a close game," said the senior signal-caller.
"Our running backs did a good job hitting the holes hard and the line did a good job. It was an all-around team victory."
Fort Frye took advantage of five turnovers by Frontier, two of which came in the Cougars' first two offensive series, to build an early 19-0 lead in the first quarter.
"Too many errors on our part," said Frontier head coach Todd Bradford. "Sometimes we just make mistakes, and that cost us. We gave them short field starting right out so the momentum was on their side the whole first half so we're trying to play catch-up.
"We just didn't make enough big plays and do enough things in our favor to get things done. You've got to tip your hat to Fort Frye. They played well and executed well."
The Cadets recovered a fumble on the first play from scrimmage in the game, giving them the ball at the Frontier 35. Rushes of 11 yards by Lang and 10 yards by Derek Layton set up Layton's 1-yard touchdown run just three minutes into the game. Prichard's kick made it 7-0.
Frontier lost another fumble on its ensuing possession, which led to a 39-yard touchdown pass from Lang to Prichard, the first of two scores the duo would connect on, to give Fort Frye a 13-0 lead before the Cougars could blink.
Frontier was able to hold onto the ball on its next two drives, but was forced to punt both times.
Late in the opening quarter, Lang returned a punt all the way to Frontier's 39 yard line. Lang would end up capping that drive with an 18-yard touchdown run to make it a three-score game at 19-zip.
Frontier, now with the ball, was glad to see the first quarter come to and end and the second begin.
Carries of 15 and 13 yards by quarterback Mitch Reynolds brought the ball to the Fort Frye 25. Howell would carry it the rest of the way, as rushes of 19, five and finally one yard put the ball across the goal-line. Frontier's two-point try was no good, making it a 19-6 ball game.
Following that score, it was Fort Frye who couldn't take care of the ball. On a 2nd-and-10 play from the Frontier 49, Lang had the ball knocked out of his hand and right into the arms of Cole Petty, who ran it 51 yards for a Cougar touchdown.
Again, the two-point conversion attempt was unsuccessful, but now it was a six-point game with Fort Frye up 19-12, which was the score at halftime.
The second half began almost the exact same way the first half did. On Frontier's first possession of the third quarter, a hand-off was botched and recovered by Layton at the Cougars' 19 yard line.
Once again, the Cadets made the Cougars pay for a turnover, as a 15-yard run by Layton set up Lang's 3-yard carry into the end-zone. Prichard tacked on the extra point to make the score 26-12.
Down two touchdowns, Frontier got the ball at its own 17 and went back to work. A Howell 15-yard run put the ball at the 32. Three plays later, on 4th-and-3, Rodney Barnes scampered for a 9-yard gain to get to midfield. A 9-yard pass from Reynolds to Nick Camino followed by a 12-yard run from Barnes gave the Cougars 1st-and-10 at the Fort Frye 29.
Two plays later, Dakota Welker took a hand-off and got the edge on the left side before cutting back to the middle of the field for a 21-yard touchdown.
Reynolds then hit Dylan Absher on a slant route for the two-point conversion, making it 26-20.
Overall, the 83-yard touchdown drive chewed up five minutes and 16 seconds off the clock.
The Frontier defense then got a big stop to force the Cadets into a punt. Lang booted a nice ball to the 11, where Frontier's next drive began.
Led by a 20-yard run from Barnes, the Cougars drove all the way to the Cadets' 34 yard line before a delay of game penalty and a sack of Reynolds by Layton forced them to punt it away.
Barnes punted it to the 19, but a kick-catching interference call on Frontier moved the ball to Fort Frye's own 35 with just over six minutes left in the contest.
On a 3rd-and-4 at their own 41, the Cadets got a big first down on a 9-yard pass from Lang to Colten Shuster.
Fort Frye would pick up another first down before facing a 4th-and-1 situation at the Frontier 30 with 1:18 left. The crowd erupted when Fort Frye committed a false start penalty to move it back five yards, but in the end it didn't matter as Lang found Prichard in the end-zone for the dagger.
"Frontier, they are a skilled football team," said Fort Frye head coach Eric Huck.
"They have players that can make plays. Hats off to them. They played a hard-fought football game.
"I was proud to see, with all the highs and lows in the game, their turnovers, our turnovers, back and forth, that when it came down to it at the end, we were able to overcome those and make plays when we needed to to get the win."
Fort Frye improved to 5-1 overall and 2-1 in the Pioneer Valley Conference with the win. Frontier fell to 3-3 overall and 1-2 in the PVC.
Fort Frye returns home next week, after five consecutive road games, to host Buckeye Trail, while Frontier will be on the road facing Caldwell.

PHOENIX -- Coco Crisp pauses, sets his jaw and stares at the ground. He wants to be candid without sounding displeased. He is displeased, so this requires suppression.
Crisp is, or was, the A's center fielder, and a very good one. He has been informed he must move to left field, hardly a foreign country but undoubtedly out of his comfort zone.
Can an outstanding center fielder become an outstanding left fielder?
"I don't see why not," Crisp finally answers, "with practice."
He pauses again. It's apparent he wants to be deliberate, careful.
"There's an adjustment period that has to be made and a willingness to get better over there," he adds. "For someone like myself -- someone not really 100 percent onboard -- it takes . . . it's a challenge to trick yourself to be 100 percent on board."
Voiceless in this matter, Crisp spent the days leading up to Oakland's trip to Japan trying to digest reality. It's not going down well. He's 32, a 10-year veteran who last year led the A.L. in steals and played excellent center field.
His bosses realize this move, to which the A's are committed, at least for now, annoys Crisp. His teammates know, too, including Yoenis Cespedes, a rookie from Cuba who is being installed in center field.
Crisp, who spent the past two seasons in Oakland, re-signed Jan. 5 with the belief he would be in center, as he was throughout 2011. A little more than a month later, Cespedes, new to American professional baseball, signed the second-biggest contract in A's history: $36 million, over four years.
And now, four weeks into spring training, Crisp is displaced by the new guy. It's a demotion in status, a form of rejection.
"He's disappointed, no doubt about that," manager Bob Melvin says. "And I understand totally.
"I don't envision him being a problem, but he's disappointed. And I understand why. He's a terrific center fielder, and he's being asked to do something that's uncomfortable."
To understand Crisp's predicament, you have to comprehend the significance of playing center field. It's a premium position, hallowed terrain once patrolled by Willie Mays, generally acknowledged as our greatest living ballplayer. The man previously introduced as such, the late Joe DiMaggio, also was a center fielder.
Prestige is inherent to the position, and Crisp has made the effort to earn his.
"I came up as a shortstop, so I had to make a transition to the outfield," he says. "I worked hard at trying to make myself as good as I could be, as quickly as possible.
"This . . . is another challenge where I have to do the same thing."
Crisp expresses no visible fury. He feels a bit of betrayal, a degree of reluctance and undoubtedly some resignation. He had learned how to play center field and made the adjustment smoothly enough to become one of the best.
And now this, ousted by the unproven new guy. It's not unlike a Gold Glove-caliber shortstop being moved to third base to make room for an untested rookie.
There is a part of Crisp, and he conceded this to USA Today, that now regrets signing with the A's. His contract, two years at $14 million, is handsome, and he's respected in the clubhouse. But he has been, in a sense, reassigned.
More to the point, reassigned without any sign of regression as a center fielder.
Melvin says the move was made because it's the simplest solution for the three best outfielders. The starters are going to be newly acquired Josh Reddick, Crisp and Cespedes. Reddick is most natural in right field, with Crisp and Cespedes most comfortable in center.
Because Crisp has played some left field, the A's believe he'll adapt more easily than would Cespedes. The decision is based less on merit than on projecting the trio and the desire to accommodate the new guy.
"The decision was made for the (comfort) of everybody else," Melvin offers.
Crisp, in essence, is a victim of his own versatility, despite his preferences.
"I see myself as an above average outfielder, one of the best center fielders in the game," he says. "I feel I'm a below-average left fielder right now. So I have to work hard to change that. I'm a realist, and I'm pretty good at self-evaluation.
"That said, being (in left field) is not where I want to be -- below average while I'm playing the game. I can deal with 'average,' but right now I feel I'm below average. I have to work hard to improve over there. That's all I can do right now."
He asks if I have more questions. I don't. Relieved, he can now simmer in solitude.

"You already know more than we do, then," Rylidak says, looking to the wizard who's revelation cost him his lunch with some concern.
"We've not found anything else other than the bodies out here. But that's where we think it came out of. No more activity from there since we arrived a few hours ago. At least, no more out here." The half-orc points to the collapsed wall that leads into Marshan's home.

Tyrien, Half-elven Archeress
Tyrien frown in consternation at what she is being told.
"So this creature has ties to a ancient and evil religion. That's just great. This creature probably reeks of death and brimstone, needs cold iron weapons to even harm it, and will be really, really, really ugly."
The archeress is remembering a battle awhile ago where her bow was useless and all thy could do was wave a torch at the threat. She is hoping that this is not one of those similar circumstances once more.

Gragnor reluctantly picks his way into the collapsed house, entering through what's left of the front door, and relaying what he finds to Kalgor via telepathic link.
telepathic link to Kalgor"I think this was a living room, boss, but boy, is this place a trash heap now. There's broken furniture and ... boss, there's body parts. Enough to make more than one person, but there's no blood. Like, anywhere. Just slime. Man, this stuff is nasty, it smells like ... Oh, oh hells I think I'm gonna--"
Kalgor feels a wave of nausea through the telepathic link, then a much woozier telepathic 'voice' continues.
"Well, Anaerion's not alone in the puking now, at least. Seriously, boss, this stuff is awful."
Monday, 19th March, 2012, 04:43 PM #147
Relaying the news, "A couple more dead bodies inside. Anaerion isn't the only one needing a new lunch." Telepathically and out loud so the rest can hear, "Don't touch the slime. Continue searching. We need to know where they or it escaped to."
RequestCan we get a rough size of the building or maybe a map? A 20x20 shack with a wall missing wouldn't take long to search. But, a mansion with many rooms could tie us up for a while. Especially if the doorknobs are smooth and round.

oocMap attached showing what Gragnor's seen so far. Will do descriptive update of continued search later, but clearly it's not a mansion.

Anaerion thinks for a little bit, before saying outloud "Slime? Well, if it is an extra-planar blob of something, I guess that works. Somehow I doubt that. But, I can safely rule out undead creature. Still leaves an abomination or extra planar creature."

"We need to find it and deal with it, whatever it is, as well as anyone who was responsible for bringing it here." Ausk is starting to get a little twitchy, never being one for lengthy investigations, and less so when there is a known danger at the end of it.

Cycle Touring
Welcome to the beautiful, diverse rural landscape of the Shuswap - North Okanagan! Enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of nature as you explore over 1500 kilometers of quiet, paved back roads in the area highlighted by this road bike (or hybrid bike/slick tire mountain bike) cycling guide. It's yours to discover for a day, for a week or for a lifetime. Over thirty out & back and loop cycling routes are identified with an average distance of 40 to 50 kilometers. Choose from easy, moderate or challenging routes varying in distance from short (<20K) to long (>100K). Visitor Information Centres, parking spots, wineries, bird watching "hot spots", swimming beaches, view points and hill climb locations are among the features and services identified to help you to plan your cycle tour.
The towns of Salmon Arm, Sicamous, Chase, Sorrento, Enderby, Armstrong and Falkland offer a variety of services for the touring cyclist. Several bike repair shops are located in the area, two in downtown Salmon Arm: Ridetech Enterprises and Skookum Cycle & Ski. Trailheads bike repair is located in upper Salmon Arm. Salmon Arm and Armstrong each host an annual community bike ride: The "Okanagan Shuswap Century Ride" is held on the last Sunday in May from Armstrong. And the "Bike For Your Life Century Ride" is held on a Saturday in mid September in Salmon Arm. And the region hosts a May Bike Month. Most routes are ready to ride by mid-April if you dress for it. Cycling may extend to mid-November in some years. Traffic volume on some back roads may increase slightly during July and August. Local drivers are courteous to cyclists.
Be sure to check out the spring Okanagan Shuswap Century Ride, and the fall Salmon Arm Bike for Your Life Century Ride. And watch for new updates coming soon.
Paper copies of the Guide are available at local Visitor Centres in the Shuswap - North Okanagan and at Skookum, Ridetech, and Trailheads bike shops in Salmon Arm.

Foothills Community Church: Strong enough to be Ge LbNA # 42538

Please do not add large rocks or sticks to change how this box is hidden. All that is needed is for it to be settled in its location and sprinkled liberally with ground stuff.
About Foothills Community Church:
We exist to draw you into a closer relationship with Jesus Christ, equipping you to share that relationship with others. Our vision is to give birth and nurture to individual Christians, small groups and new churches. More information can be found at: http://www.foothillscc.com/
To Find the Box!
Park in Foothills Community Church parking lot on the west side of the church. Your starting point is the large white cross. Walk south (in the parking lot) towards the two retention basins. The basin on your left is fenced. As you walk down the dirt slope, you will see several "only children." You are walking between the two basins. On the unfenced side, is a set of 15-20 year old (not very tall) "twins" and directly across them is a very mature set of "triplets" standing in the shade of a friendly tree. Continue walking south to the end of the clearing until you see a multitrunked ironwood tree and a prickly pear cactus close together. The Lion and the Lamb dwell together peacefully, nestled in the center of the ironwood tree.(I've been told the prickly pear is melting away. If the next finder could, please give me another marker to identify this particular tree. It is still findable at this point)
As with all boxes, please be sure to reseal everything and in this case sprinkle liberally so it fits in to the landscape. This box does not require a SPOR or a SPOB (branches) it is well camouflaged where it is by just a good sprinkling of ground debris.

Yes...have learned much about this one. Many times I gave thinking it was just out of the goodness of my heart then being madder than a hornet when nothing, not even a thank you, came in return. I've changed. To give with expectation is selfishness and ego, it is not true giving, and not part of the spiritual path. So I always check my motives now. If I at any level am expecting something for what I do, including a thank you, I rethink my motives and intentions and whether I should be doing it at all. Expectation is not an exchange of love.
I just gave WITH expectations....
"Hey Mom, want to try my soft-shell crab?"
"Say, since I just shared with you, do you think I could try some of your crabcake...?"
It worked! lol :P
I expect that several bummers as well as great beauties will appear and pass in my life before it is done. I am at peace with it....as well as how I may feel about each momentary event. I am at peace with knowing that I am not always at peace too. ;-D
I don't see denial of the crummy parts of life in what I wrote. But, I don't think that expecting a bummer helps in any way, whatsoever.
We know there's a mix. There's nothing to be said for thinking a "crummy" one is comin' attcha.
"The Sacred can use the imperfect hand just as well as the perfect hand." Could not be better worded.
Our Buddhist practice often is that we deliberately pull the bad energy to ourselves to be purified through the heart center and breath into compassionate energy.....It is called tonglen...
And really, knowing that at any time something crummy can happen is as realistic as expecting something good...
If we live in denial of the fact that each of us has a turn or turns with the crummy parts of life then we are going to be blindsided when the hard parts happen.
If we live in awareness, acceptance, and observation, then we are ready for whatever comes....and if we are not attached to the goodness then we probably suffer a lot less.
If giving adds to someone's self esteem, they probably need to do a lot of it. If they think it means that they are superior, life itself will take care of that.
Mother Teresa said that the only hands God has are ours. If the giving benefits the receiver who was sincerely in need, in the end, what does it matter why it was given? It matters that the gift was available and left where it would do some good..
I would hate to hear a suggestion that the gift should not be given unless the motivation is "right". The Sacred can use the imperfect hand just as well as the perfect hand.
Thinking that even if you've done something good, thoughtful, helpful, etc., and that the next thing that comes along might be crummy, isn't the greatest perspective.
Maybe thinking we've done something good, and that this is an exceptional way of behavior isn't such a righteous place to come from. It seems to put the giver in a place of higher moral ground. If we give does this make us good? Maybe. Or, maybe it just makes the giver feel somehow elevated.
Give when you can. Then, forget about it.
How is that not expectation? ;-D
Giving and knowing that the next thing that happens may well be crummy...and that the giving may have absolutely no good effect on your karma would be giving without expectation, wouldn't it?
IMO there is a difference between giving in the state of heart consciousness...and giving in a state of seeking good karma. But even when the gift is given from the heart, the good karma thought can follow. I try to give the good karma to the other person as well....to truly give for the benefit of others is challenging...to truly want and dedicate all good associated with the act to benefit the other person...renouncing ownership of any good connected with it? Not easy but worth doing...
Once you give without the expectation of not receiving anything in return that is best reciprocal flow of abundance. It creates the aroma of love that transfers in mother earth. As you give you leave an energy that attracts to space or physical person who needs it. Knowing that the energy you gave into the world would come back to you.
When the energy goes back to you, then you would have to guess, what form did it come back in to make your life better. Your life sometimes can be better when your able to decide when it the best time to give or when is the best time to stop receiving. Each person is different, but as long as you are giving without expectations you will be alright.
Therefore, giving without expectation will never lead to dead ends because vehemently giving release a spirit within you that makes the world lighter in your heart. Moreover, If you keep on giving and it lead to a dead end of expectations, You should think in your mind that it was never a dead end if it takes you somewhere you needed to go.
I forgot: only give if you can let it go with joy.
Sher's distinction of giving (a gift) and barter ( trading) is an important one. And, so is the knowledge that each has its place.
I think that we here are blessed with abundance while others are not. Compassion dictates giving to help.
Sometimes it is barter. That needs to be made clear. That requires clear understanding of our own selves, and the ability to honestly state what we expect in return. Sometimes what we want isn't for sale, or the other will agree then renig. Sometimes we know the other person is going to renig, but there is an apparent value to gaining increased "justification" to run a guilt trip on them or ourselves. Sometimes, we are feeding a self martyr scripting session.
In any case, giving with no expectation of return, and having someone then walk on your face naturally brings up feelings and thoughts of reciprosity, lacking in the other...as well as possibilities for returning the energy given.
Helping people who aren't able to graciously receive help is the challenge of our connection with the Sacred, IMO.
I have helped people to stay alive because I was being drawn to do that that, even when I thought rebirth was probably a better option for them.
When they subsequently turn violent, or express the emotional toxicity in them in various destructive behaviors toward me, I naturally have feelings about that and have to get back to detachment.
I think Ayn Rands words underscore the need for balanced giving. I think there are plenty of times when folks just need to sit in their misery without resources until they wise up...but I have to go away and not watch it.
i'm sorry, but everytime i read about 'giving and not receiving' i am reminded of my favorite passage from ayn rand's 'atlas shrugged'
"I thought that any human being who accepts the help of another, knows that good will is the giver's only motive and that good will is the payment he owes in return. But I see that I was wrong. You were getting your food unearned and you concluded that affection did not have to be earned, either. You concluded that I was the safest person in the world for you to spit on, precisely because I held you by the throat. You concluded that I wouldn't want to remind you of it and that I would be tied by the fear of hurting your feelings. All right, let's get it straight: you're an object of charity who's exhausted his credit long ago."
because we accept that the universe is made and held together by give and take equally, why do we deny it for ourselves? why do we continue to harbor a belief that will only fester a resentment and bitterness for which there is no cure?
Good Morning Fellow Omers,
In my humble opinion - if we give with expectation - that's not giving - that's barter. :) Nothing wrong with barter - I love it. But it's not giving.
Yes, when we give - we are filled with receiving simultanously (sp??).
Being of service is the best way to get out of our own way. Especially if we give of ourselves, not just things.
Much love, joy, blessings, and lots of laughing,
i 'work'
to give
though, i call it:
Random Acts of Kindness
fortunately, i am able 2
Truth! I once experienced a wise person's brief workshop on discussion of our feeling and attitudes about abundance; the great things, and the not so great things about having it. Do we want it? Do we not. It is all here. Abundance is not the problem, it is how we live our lives, work, achieve, through integrity and loving work to achieve our goals, that create deserved rewards from above if it is meant to be, and can be a burden if we become obsessed with "things"and working just to obtain them in this material world. Wise
I love this by Madisyn.
""It is in the act of giving that we find joy, without the expectation of anything in return.""
I was brought up.as Mom did this,I seen the joy then,and I see it now,within my life. Love to give...

Roger out in Miami
Roger lost his quarter-final against American Andy Roddick 6-7, 6-4, 3-6 at the Miami Open.
It is the only the second defeat for our star in 17 career meetings against Roddick."I always said it's tough to play against Andy, you know, with that serve," said Roger, who was beaten with 17 aces. "He's always going to have a chance. That's why I'm quite amazed about my record against him."
"I think I did well to hang in there," Roger further commented. "Maybe this is one of the matches I should have won against him because he's had some other ones where I think he was supposed to win. This time around it went his way."
Roger had won the last 11 encounters with Andy Roddick, the head-to-head is now at 15-2. Roger will be heading back to Europe these days and is looking forward to the Estoril Open in Portugal and the start of the clay season.
I watched the match live on TV, and because Federer hit so many REALLY great shot I downloaded it from this torrent site:
I really missing watching you in the final!
Please, please please make it to another final so I can watch you win!
Best of luck in the clay season!
You're great! Everyone loves you, Roger!
your fan, Ali
Don't upset,only don't upset, sweet!
Your real fans will be with you forever.
And without fail you'll win,don't worry.
Relax and take care of yourself.
Be health and happy.
It's the very important.
I wish you,Mirka and your parents all the b
All I can say is that I am happy there was no TV coverage on these matches in the past couple of months. Very sad to see that you are losing many matches and still without a title this year. Knowing that Clay is not the best for you, I still ho
Don't bother by them and continue your winnings Roger.
We love you, Roger. We know you can do it. You still the no 1 player in the world. We know you can maintain that... Good luck for your next game. Take care. Weloveu.

The Marietta Times has highlighted the stories of two local residents lately that we believe readers can take a great deal of inspiration from.
At age 106, Mary Niceswanger still lives independently, cooks for herself and maintains her longtime hobby of sewing.
At a still-young 92, Sally Hille is still working, putting out a radio show on active seniors from her home.
These are just two members of the area's senior population who are healthy, strong and great examples of how to lead a fulfilling life at any age. There are probably more as you look around your own family or neighborhood.
They also serve as reminders to us all that if we take care of ourselves, we can reach that point and still feel healthy, have sharp minds and be independent.
The advice given is to do the things you love, whether that's a career or a hobby, and keep close relationships in your life. Those things are as important as maintaining physical health.
There was a time when each of us probably felt like life would be over at 30, then 40 and so on.
These two women prove that it can still be good at 90, at 100 and beyond.
It's cause to celebrate Sally and Mary, and the others marking those milestones, and also a happy reminder of how much life we really have to live.

Over at the website for the new DBZ movie Dragon Ball Z: Battle of the Gods (which you can check out by clicking here ) you're going to need to have your translator ready. However, because we love you we've taken care of that for you. So here it is:
"The story takes place a few years after the fierce battle with Majin Buu. Bils, the God of Destruction who maintains the balance of the universe, awakens from a long slumber. Hearing rumors that a Saiyan defeated Frieza, Bils goes on a search to track down the warrior who championed this feat – Goku. King Kai advises Goku to avoid a confrontation, however, Goku is ecstatic that a new opponent has appeared after many years and decides to fight. Unfortunately, Goku is no match for Bils' overwhelming power and is defeated. Bils leaves, asking if "there is anybody on Earth more worthy to destroy?" Will Goku and the Z Warriors really be able to stop the God of Destruction?!"
The story takes place in the universe of DBZ while staying in cannon with the series. 10-years after Majin Buu but before the 28th martial arts tournament. I cannot wait to see this.

(Scott Welton, Staff)
Norman Lambert, city engineer, said a lot of smaller communities are unable to afford some of the better solutions for meeting new standards for wastewater treatment passed down by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources from the Environmental Protection Agency.
"A lot of these smaller towns can't afford this ultraviolet system," Lambert said. "Usually what they use is a system that puts in chlorine tablets like a swimming pool."
These systems require a basin where water can be held until the chlorine dissipates before it is discharged, he said.
But in November 2010, voters in Miner approved using 35 percent of tourism tax revenue for capital improvements and diverting 40 percent to the city's general fund enabling the city to put $1.4 million into a new lagoon and wastewater treatment equipment without any rate increase.
"We didn't want to go through the two steps of putting the chlorine in and then removing the chlorine," Lambert said. "The ultraviolet is just one step."
And wastewater treatment has enough steps already to ensure discharged water meets DNR's standards.
One feature of Miner's new system is alternating blowers that run on a timer, according to Lambert.
"They operate for two hours to put oxygen into the system at the first stage," he said. "Then they shut down and we have automatic valves that open and let the liquid into the second stage. In the second stage oxygen is mixed with it but it also has what is called an ionic curtain that separates the last cell which is a stilling cell. The majority of liquid there is just clear water but if there is any sludge left, that last cell lets it fall out."

American, Qatar sign codeshare deal
American Airlines and Qatar Airways have signed a new codeshare agreement.
The deal, which has already obtained government approvals, comes ahead of Qatar Airways' entry into the oneworld alliance, of which American was a founder member.
American and Qatar will codeshare on direct flights between the US and Doha, as well as flights connecting at the carriers' European gateways such as Paris and London, and flights to cities in the US and beyond Doha. The two airlines will also offer reciprocal frequent flier benefits.
"Our extensive codeshare relationship with Qatar Airways will provide our customers with easy, premium access when travelling to and from the Middle East and beyond," said Kurt Stache, American's Vice President of Strategic Alliances. "This new codeshare relationship with Qatar is another example of how American is focused on building its global network through closer coordination with its alliance partners around the world."
The codeshare flights will be open for booking from 10 February 2013, for travel commencing 26 February 2013.
Qatar Airways became the first major Gulf carrier to join a global alliance when it signed up with oneworld in October 2012. The airline will add 15 destinations to the oneworld network.
