I am starting to slightly get a kick out of my little trash-picking adventures.
Trust me, I totally get how weird that is.
I just had to share. I thought she was quite a find!
My elderly neighbor passed away recently, and his son just backed dumpsters up to the house and threw the whole contents of the house in.
Trust me, I about d-i-e-d when I saw it happening.
I am so glad one piece survived.
And by the way...I am trying to get in touch with Mother Nature today.
I want to be sure this gorgeous weather isn't going to be followed by some whopper of a payback come January.
My corner of the world just doesn't see weather like this in October. By this time last year, we already had snow!
By the way, is 35 old enough to get a condo in Palm Springs for the winter??
Hmmm...note to self...check that out just in case Mother Nature over-corrects herself in a couple of months.
Anyone else out there experiencing this fall heat-wave?? Lets hear it.
Now excuse me, I am going to bust out a watermelon and a fan.

Are Bordeaux rules made to broken?
French appellations laws are strict and although they guarantee a signature style and assure a certain quality, do they also stifle creativity?

High Court Orders Freedom for Captive Elephant Sunder
The Economic Times
By Vijay Singh
MUMBAI: The Bombay high court on Monday passed a landmark judgment in favour of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India by directing the state government to release the captive elephant, Sunder, and put him in a proper sanctuary.
The high court passed this order seeking the implementation of the order dated August 21, 2012, passed by the Joint Secretary (Forests), Government of Maharashtra, to release the well-known and much abused young elephant Sunder to a sanctuary.
This decision will be supported by celebrities such as Paul McCartney, Amitabh Bachchan, Madhuri Dixit, Pamela Anderson, Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan, Gulshan Grover* and many others who took to Twitter or helped in other ways with the campaign for his release.
The court allowed the writ petition filed by PETA and dismissed the appeal filed by the MLA Vinay Kore, who had given Sunder as a "gift" to the Jyotiba temple in Kolhapur. The court also refused to stay its order though the same was requested by the senior counsel representing Kore.
PETA was represented in the matter by Senior Counsel Shiraz Rustomjee and counsel Rohan Rajadyaksha who were instructed by M/s. K Ashar & Co Advocates & Solicitors who were on record for PETA.
Sunder is now slated to be transferred to Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre (WRRC) in Bangalore. The elephant's beatings had been caught on videotape, and veterinarians and elephant experts who examined Sunder found him scarred and wounded and chained so tightly that he couldn't lie down.
The campaign for his release spanned 21 months as people in India and around the world worked to save him from his abusers. PETA India is now calling on Maharashtra Principal Chief Conservator of Forests (Wildlife) Sarjan Bhagatto implement the court's order quickly before Sunder can be harmed again.
The Jyotiba temple came into possession of Sunder in 2007, but after constant chaining and beatings came to light, Maharashtra Minister of Forests Dr Patangrao Kadam (on August 21, 2012) and the Project Elephant division of the Ministry of Environment and Forests (on November 9, 2012) issued orders for Sunder's release to a sanctuary.
However, they were never carried out, and Sunder was then spirited away at the behest of Kore and hidden in an old poultry shed, where he remained chained.
In December 2013, PETA obtained new video footage showing that his mahout was violently beating him. Sunder has known physical abuse, chains, loneliness and misery for almost a decade,'' said Dr Manilal Valliyate, PETA India's director of veterinary affairs.
"We are grateful for the high court ruling calling for his release to a sanctuary.PETA is looking forward to seeing Sunder receive the care and respect that he deserves,'' he added.

I want a full blog...
I have been dicking around with moving things over to Blogger from GoDaddy, which they do not make easy... Seems like neither company is willing to work with each other. Other transfers from Wordpress or other companies seem easy, but going from GoDaddy to something else is a pain in the ass. I am basically going to have to go into the post section of old location, click like I am editing post in HTML, copy HTML code and paste into a new blogger post,which I then have to set to date of original post... lets just say there are about 1800 posts between May of 2007 and December of 2011 that need to be moved...arghh!!! Where is an assistant when I need one... It is getting too late for me to fuck with it tonite... I am sure if I do it a different way it will be faster, so I will still search. So if you see old post popping up, sorry, it just me reposting them from other location... I will trying figure something else out in the meantime...

Anyone use this tool. I swaged about 250 .308 and the rod looks bent. I tighted the rod down all the way to avoid this, too just like the instructions said. Anyone have any luck with it? I guess it's time to buy another Dillon 900 swager.

Price Ease of Use Quality
I just received this set of stocking pattern books ~ something I have wanted to purchase for quite some time, and a Christmas present to ME this year. I am so excited about the wonderful selection of chart patterns and I look forward to making my first very soon.
I love to knit and these will become wonderful treasures for my family members for years to come. Though I have not begun the actual act of knitting from the pattern, yet, I think the instructions appear to be very well written and the charts are full-page size ~ very nice! I will be enjoying many hours of knitting from these pages.

These patterns are fantastic. They are easy to follow and fun to make. Over the period of many years I have made several for relatives and friends. My son loves his stocking, he is 20 now, and expects me to make them for his family when the time comes. Thank you for these great patterns.

- These patterns are wonderful Review by Marion

I'm in the process of knitting 5 of the Santa stockings from the Mr. & Mrs. Santa book. My mother knitted these for her and my father, my sister and me and our husbands. When we started having children, she knitted one for each of them. As each one got married, there spouse got a Noni Christmas stocking and so did each of their children. She passed (I miss her soooo much) before all my grandchildren were born so now I'm knitting stockings for them to keep up the tradition. Thanks Mary Maxim for reprinting the patterns because I could not find my Mom's and I wanted to knit these very badly.

Thank you for keeping alive patterns I knit more than 30 years ago. Now my children want stockings for their kids - I still had 3 patterns but they were all knit once. Now I have dozens of graph style colorful stocking patterns. I will be busy doing stockings for the in-law kids, and each stocking will now be different - no duplicates. My chldren are now 30 something and they still hang Mom's hand knit stockings each Christmas by their chimneys. Their spouses will soon have one too. It's really a blast from the past to get your Christmas knit stocking books, now all compiled in one place. Thank you!

Schizophrenia has been hypothesized to be caused by a hypofunction of glutamatergic neurons. Findings of reduced concentrations of glutamate in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with schizophrenia and the ability of glutamate-receptor antagonists to cause psychotic symptoms lend support to this hypothesis. N-acetylaspartylglutamate (NAAG), a neuropeptide that is highly concentrated in glutamatergic neurons, antagonizes the effects of glutamate at N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors. Moreover, NAAG is cleaved to glutamate and N-acetylaspartate by a specific peptidase, N-acetyl-α—linked acidic dipeptidase (NAALADase). To test the glutamatergic hypothesis of schizophrenia, we studied the NAAG-related glutamatergic variables in postmortem brains from patients with schizophrenia, neuroleptic-treated controls, and normal individuals, with particular emphasis on the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus.
Different regions of frozen brain tissue from three different groups (patients with schizophrenia, neuroleptictreated controls, and normal controls) were assayed to determine levels of NAAG, N-acetylaspartate, NAALADase, and several amino acids, including aspartate and glutamate.
Our study demonstrates alterations in brain levels of aspartate, glutamate, and NAAG and in NAALADase activity. Levels of NAAG were increased and NAALADase activity and glutamate levels were decreased in the schizophrenic brains. Notably, the changes in NAAG level and NAALADase activity in schizophrenic brains were more selective than those for aspartate and glutamate. In neuroleptic-treated control brains, levels of aspartate, glutamate, and glycine were found to be increased.
The changes in levels of aspartate, glutamate, NAAG, and NAALADase are prominent in the prefrontal and hippocampal regions, where previous neuropathological studies of schizophrenic brains demonstrate consistent changes. These findings support the hypothesis that schizophrenia results from a hypofunction of certain glutamatergic neuronal systems. They also suggest that the therapeutic efficacy of neuroleptics may be related to increased glutamatergic activity.

Action Target and Poratarget make great targets. I have a Action Target plate rack and dueling tree. Good quality. The poratarget stuff I seen was very good also.
I was not happy with my MGM static target. I will not be purchasing another from him.

I bought a portable plate rack from Spinning Metal Targets (http://www.metaltargets.com/). It's wonderful. Steel plates are fun, but can get boring. Dueling trees are fun, but can get tedious to reset. I love my plate rack -- just pull a rope to reset all the targets. He sells many other reactive targets, too -- including dueling trees and gongs and poppers and everything else. Of course you can get the plate rack without a trailer, too.

The rifle target I purchased I was told good for 5.56 from 15 yards and out. We have chips and others from the first day of use. The stand is not very strong and I have to use sand bags to told everything together.
June 15, 2005, 08:10 AM
RCM I live in Enfield NH if you want to see the steel that I have.
June 15, 2005, 10:08 AM
Thanks guys I will take a look at all of them.
June 15, 2005, 12:20 PM
I cant think of any chunk of steel that will hold up to an AR-15/223 at 15 yards.
Softer than AR400, you punch holes in it. Harder than AR500, and it fractures.
Maybe MGM meant 50 yards... Even then you are still going to do some damage.
I have several of the auto poppers and dont shoot them closer than 100 yards with a rifle. With a pistol I beat them up as close as 5-7 yards.
June 15, 2005, 03:39 PM
This will be all pistol work and occasional shotgun. Birdshot for a load when practicing.

It's early days yet, but the feeling I'm getting is that this accessibility will encourage players to pick up and use a greater spread of characters than with something like SF4, where people tend to pick one or two fighters to "main". Naturally high-end players will still do this, but there's such diversity on display here that most of us will gleefully flit back and forth between our favourites - and since MvC3 is a three-on-three game, the potential for interesting teams is enormous.
The build I've been playing only features 30 of the thus-far-confirmed 34 fighters, but even so I've been utterly spoiled for choice. Deadpool continues to delight with his fourth-wall-breaking, play-it-to-the-crowd tomfoolery, but it's the evil Super Skrull who's slowly emerging as my favourite from the Marvel side. He's got a decent projectile attack, a meaty throw move and an extremely handy rapid-tap move, Tenderizer, that can be used for cheap air combos if you're feeling lazy; for this reason, I wouldn't be surprised to see him emerge as a popular choice online. Iron Man is just as annoyingly effective as he was in previous Capcom fighters, while the flame-skulled Dormammu plays an interesting keepaway game, in a not too dissimilar style to Blackheart in Marvel Super Heroes and MvC 2.
On the Capcom side, Chris Redfield continues to offer near-criminal levels of fun; it may be cheap to spam you opponent with shotgun and magnum attacks, but that doesn't stop it from being undeniably entertaining. One of his higher-level Hyper Combos also sees him whipping out a rocket launcher, letting the player direct control of where the missiles go; it's utterly ridiculous, and allows for total humiliation of the other player. Using Wesker effectively is a bit more challenging since his short-range style relies upon you getting right up in your opponent's face, but his teleport certainly allows for a few mind games, which seems appropriate.
To be honest, I'm still struggling to get much use out of the midget-sized brawlers - Viewtiful Joe can piss right off, as far as I'm concerned - but I'll admit that I've got a soft spot for Arthur from Ghouls and Ghosts. When he takes too much of a battering his armour falls off, leaving him to fight in his underpants; at this point he's pretty much dead if you don't tag him out or re-clothe him with his hyper combo. Neat little references like this are to be found absolutely everywhere in MvC3. It's a wet dream for Capcom and Marvel fans alike, so serious aficionados of both are liable to slip into some form of serotonin overdose.
Regardless of the clears stabs at opening the game up to new players, hardcore veterans have little cause to worry about the action being dumbed down. I'm still very much learning the ropes, but as I say it's already clear that there's a huge degree of depth to the combo system for people who put the hours in - not to mention advancing guards, snapback moves and other high-end mechanics that are probably best discussed elsewhere.
The only potential concern I can foresee lies in the character balance. With such a massive set of fighters available, it's almost inevitable that one or two choices will tower over their peers. At the moment it seems as if Dr Doom can kill his opponents by simply looking at them in funny way - he really is that godlike. The build I've been playing certainly isn't final, but I have a feeling that he and one or two others may generate strangled cries of "BS!" and "he's so OP!"
On the other hand, his name is Dr Doom; he didn't spend three years on a Ph.D in Disaster Studies at the University of the Apocalypse for nothing, did he?
Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds will be released on February 18 for PS3 and Xbox 360.

I was returning to work after an errand and wondering why traffic was so slow. The cars were almost stopping and then going forward real slow. When I got to the spot I saw why. There was a kitten huddled in the middle of the road and the CARS WERE DRIVING RIGHT OVER HIM. I blocked the road with my truck and walked up to him but when I got close he ran into the bushes. Once he was in the bushes he let me pick him up. His eyes and nose were crusted over and he couldnt see or smell and he looked very thin. He refused food and water so I thought up another errand LOL and took him to the vet. They called me at work and said he had a really bad upper respitory infection and probably wouldnt make it. I told them to try anyway. I came and got him later that day took him home and put him in my bathroom so he wouldnt expose the other kitties. Fortunately it was Friday so I had all weekend to help him. They had gotton his eyes cleaned up and there was no damage to them but he still wouldnt eat because he couldnt smell. I force fed him and gave him water in an eye dropper and gave him his medicine and by the end of the weekend he was eating on his own. Took him back to the vet on Monday and they were amazed at his progress. They said he would definetly make so I had him tested for all the nasty diseases.

Maybe it is because I always take not when I hear it, but does it seem to you guys that whenever a local guy (whether from Michigan or from a Michigan university) is playing a nationally televised game, the broadcasters tend to point them out?
For example, Doc Emrick always seems to mention Abby and Mills coming from State. Pierre just mentioned Torey Krug is from Livonia/MSU.
When watching Rangers games, Hagelin from UofM is always mentioned.
You guys hear this?

Welcome to this free guide for National Parks. Some of the tips & ideas I offer here can be used also for other companies, so don't hesitate to make a use out of them.
National Parks are a great stimulant for economic growth in the region by attracting tourist & travellers. To make sure your National Park can be found and reached easily is very important. Moreover, most of the National Parks receive subsidies from Governments, so by reading this guide, you will be able to use your budget triggering a better impact.
No need to explain that mobile has become bigger and bigger over the years and in the same line is GEO Location. Many cars have a GPS device installed, smartphones are mobile GPS devices, a lot of GEO Location services are available on the internet etc. You never know how your visitor will find your National Park, and even more important, when a possible traveller wants to become your visitor, you have to make it as easy as possible to find you. A tourist who finds information without a lot of search is a happy tourist.
How can I add it to my website?
- Make your sure you have a complete address of the Entrance of your National Park on the Contact Page. (Tourist are not interested in the Office Building)
This means including a Zip code, City/Region name etc. Never forget your visitors or 99% of the tourists whose home addresses have a different format.
- Offer the GPS Coordinates in different types, as travellers will understand there are GPS coordinates when showed at this 44°51N 15°37E, 44.85°N 15.62°E, but it isn't handy as the GPS or Mapping devices use often Decimal Degrees, e.g. 44.854167, 37.7475. Happily, several Converters are available for free on the Internet. You can check this one for a start!
- GEO Meta Tags: Google didn't confirm it, but Bing & Yahoo have confirmed that it influences the search ranking. Implementing them is fairly easy, all you have to do is add three short meta tags to your websites section (next to the other tags like description, keywords, etc.):
<meta name="Geo.Region" content="Your ISO 3166 country code"/>
<meta name="Geo.Placename" content="name of Your National Park"/>
<meta name="Geo.Position" content="Latitude & Longitude in Decimal Degrees, separated by ;"/>
To Generate your Meta Tags,you can use our Free Geo Meta Tag Generator on http://yabbedoo.com/Geo-Meta-Tag-Generator.aspx
Open Your Data to the world
Your website is not enough to open the facts and data to the world, as this assumes your visitors found the website already, you assumes that it is normal for people to search. To have a bigger impact and more visitors, the more easy you make it for your visitors, the more visitors you will welcome.
When I write about open your data to the world, this means that other services, some known, others you've never heard about can use your data. They will promote in their own creative way.
Of course you can't use your budget for creating an API, where external sources can download your data. This would be time-consuming and a very bad way to use your budget.
Ask yourself the following questions:
- Who owns the right information about my park? Me
- How many websites offer information on my Park, but I have no control over it? Probably a lot
- What impact has wrong information on external websites on the perception of the traveller and on my team handling wrong information? Unhappy visitors equals bad publicity, Unhappy visitors equals a lot of discussion with the staff, which makes you waste time and budget
- Do I have the time, staff and budget to follow-up on all this information on my Park? And if the answer is yes, do I want to do this? Probably not
A system exists to handle your basic information, events, special days, to broadcast to many other external sources. As you control the data, you guarantee those external websites have the right information. E.g. if you change your email or phone number, automatically the External sources receives the updated information.
How can I use this Open Data Source?
By becoming a member of Yabbedoo.com, the service is free. A membership costs only EUR 95 / year and you can manage all your data, events, information as you like. It will be distributed to travellers, who can be part of your future visitors, to external sources and the big players such as Google, Bing, Yahoo etc. Because you are the owner of the data, the Internet gets much better qualified information and this is the main reason why we have a lot of external sources connecting to us.

|beautiful conditions on high. left bunny flats at 1130am. skinned up to Lake Helen on the 19th in great weather, almost too warm/soft to skin up by the end of the day. alpine start on the 20th, 430am, at a mellow pace to summit by 1100. could've lit a match on the summit. perfectly still, no clouds, about 50deg. skied down, bullet proof up top, avalanche gulch in perfect light corn making for really heavy snow down low after picking up camp and catching our breath. But, ya can't beat perfect conditions on the steeps! yow! excellent adventures.

|I tried to dayhike the route twice before, failing due to an oncoming cold and a freaky windslab. This time I was successful despite bruising my ribs the day before. Excellent route!
|Posted Apr 27, 2009 7:17 am
|Re: Casaval Ridge
Just wondering what the snow conditions were like. I've heard that the mountain did not get a lot of snow this past season. I'm planning a trip up the Avalanche gulche route in about 3 weeks. I've gone up the mountain once before but am still new to mountaineering.

|Posted Apr 18, 2009 9:26 pm
Date Climbed: Apr 11, 2009
|Skinned up to Casaval, fooled around on a few of the big gendarmes and enjoyed the blizzard conditions, probably stopped around 12,600-800. Skied down the west side of the ridge toward hidden valley, found a round about way back to the road and hitched back up to bunny flat. The section of trees between bunny flat parking and the start of the ridge can be a pain in the butt. Some wind slab action on the east side of the ridge.

|Clear Creek Route up this fabulous peak
Date Climbed: Oct 7, 2001
|This was my second attempt at Shasta; as with my previous attempt up the long Clear Route with about 8,000 feet of gain. On my first attempt, I was turned back at over 13,000 as the result of consistent high winds with the mountains ash a real pain as it blew around the edges of my mountaineering glasses and into my contact lenses. One month later I was provided a second opportunity on a late season October attempt.
I started the climb at about 2pm on a perfectly clear Saturday afternoon and pitched camp at about 9,400 feet. The next morning started up a bit late at 8 am. Climbing this route without snow was a drag with the very loose rock and sand on the steep slope. Fortunately no wind but this time I came prepared regardless with ski goggles.
The summit view was absolutely spectacular with few high clouds. The summit register revealed that I was only the second person to make it that day but being I didn't see them, assumed that person came up via another route.
Definitely a peak that needs a second visitation!

|My first attempt at anything beyond a ski lift. I had NO CLUE about how much conditioning I would need and thus made it as far as the heart before turning back! I came back the following year, in shape and fell in love with mountaineering. Much beter the second, more educated time around!

|We climbed Shasta via Avalanche Gulch back in July of 2001. There was very little snow that year: no snow at all up to Helen and "Helen Lake" was actually open so you did not have to melt snow. It was very cold and windy on top but all 4 of us made it. Great experience!

Former player agent Josh Luchs tells Sports Illustrated's George Dohrmann about a sleazy side of college football when he recounts his dealings with players, and the multiple NCAA rules violations of which he was a part.
It's a blockbuster story, because Luchs names names, including some high-profile former Pacific-10 Conference players. He says he paid some under the table.
Ex-Oregon receiver Keenan Howry plays a part in the story, although Luchs doesn't say that Howry took money while eligible; nor does he allege Howry violated NCAA rules.
Luch's allegations -- some confirmed by the players mentioned, denied by others -- shouldn't surprise anybody paying attention.
The NCAA limits the top-level major college players' compensation to the value of their scholarships. A scholarship represents a lot of money, say $20,000 to $50,000 per year. But you only have to look at full stadiums, television contracts and coaching salaries to know the top players' compensation often is under-valued.
The schools will tell you they are forced to pay coaches a lot of money because the market drives coaching compensation packages. But the NCAA -- which is made up of the member schools -- sets an artificial limit on what players can make. If the market drove player compensation, some players would be worth far more than the value of their scholarships.
So, while fans pay thousands and tens of thousands of dollars for season ticket packages, complete with seat-license fees, athletic department budgets soar into the stratosphere, and conferences negotiate ever larger television contracts, player compensation is forcefully capped.
A system this unfair begs to be exploited by someone like Luchs.
Oregon coach Chip Kelly won't talk about the health status of injured running back Kenjon Barner after the Ducks' closed practice yesterday.
In fact, there was a contentious exchange between Kelly and the R-G's Rob Moseley on the Pac-10 Conference call.
Kelly stays determinedly mum in the face of questions about his injured players.
Ten interesting things about the Ducks; Oregon football by the numbers.
ESPN.com guru Ted Miller says the Ducks are in position to sweep through the Pac-10 unbeaten, but history indicates it will be difficult.
Here is how SI.com's Cory McCartney has the Heisman race; LaMichael James is second in this accounting.
NCAA investigation into the UO men's basketball program continues.
UCLA suspends two players for the Oregon game; sources tell the Los Angeles Times that the suspensions came three weeks after a mandatory drug test.
UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel says he hopes the suspended players will learn a valuable lesson.
The Bruins' player suspensions will have an impact.
Bill Plaschke of the Los Angeles Times: Don't fault Neuheisel for cracking down; fault him for recruiting discipline problems in the first place.
Offensive coordinator Norm Chow says Kevin Prince is still UCLA's starting QB.
Jon Wilner of the San Jose Mercury News has Oregon first and OSU second in his weekly Pac-10 power ratings; says he considered putting the Beavers first.
UO senior Heather Meyers leads the nation's volleyball players in service aces.
The UO women's soccer team plays host to UCLA and USC this weekend.
Addicted to Quack's round-up of news about the Ducks.
In Corvallis, there still are concerns about OSU's running game. The Oregonian's Lindsay Schnell reports.
Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh says his team needs rest.
USC defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin says his guys will stay positive and get better.
Cal quarterback Kevin Riley needs some work on his mechanics.
Wazzu coach Paul Wulff says he still is gathering facts about his two arrested players.
Expect Arizona to emphasize the run this week at WSU.
It's beginning to look like the Pac-12 will split into North and South Divisions, with the Oregon schools being grouped with Cal, Stanford, Washington and Washington State. Commissioner Larry Scott apparently believes this will be better for marketing purposes.
Rose Bowl will put $152 million into improvements.

The following video is from Thursday's Investor Beat, in which host Chris Hill, and analysts Bryan Hinmon and Matt Argersinger dissect the hardest-hitting investing stories of the day.
A Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO ) study finds that advertising via "buzz" – sharing through social media such as Facebook (NASDAQ: FB ) -- had no measurable impact on sales. Will Coca-Cola's study make Facebook less appealing to businesses and advertisers? This story, plus a wrap-up of the Dow today, four stocks that made big moves today, and our analysts give their picks for the two stocks they'll have their eye on this week.
After the world's most-hyped IPO turned out to be a dunce, most investors probably don't even want to think about shares of Facebook. But there are things every investor needs to know about this company. We've outlined them in our newest premium research report. There's a lot more to Facebook than meets the eye, so read up on whether there is anything to "like" about it today, and we'll tell you whether we think Facebook deserves a place in your portfolio.

Album Review
Compiled from P.M. Dawn's four albums and the Senseless soundtrack
The Best of P.M. Dawn
not only plays like an audio time capsule of slick, tuneful, '90s urban pop, it's a remarkably coherent listening experience. The New Jersey duo's sweet combination of classic silky soul, trip-hop, psychedelia, and pop was one of the most groundbreaking sounds of the decade and influenced countless bands tremendously. All the usual suspects are present and accounted for, beginning with the band's first number one single "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss," an amazingly mature debut tune, and moves forward with two tracks from 1998's relatively obscure I'm So Very Sorry for Bringing You Here, Love Dad. A remix of "A Watcher's Point of View" and the rare 7" versions of "Reality Used to Be a Friend of Mine" as well as "The Ways of the Wind" are also here. The latter track's single and album versions are included; though they're significantly different, it's a bit redundant. The edgy hip-hop of "A Watcher's...," "Reality...," and "Gotta' Be... Movin' on Up," a track from the Senseless soundtrack, break up P.M. Dawn's otherwise lush, glossy sound on this hourlong, 14-track disc. Any band that samples
Deep Purple
George Michael
, and
Joni Mitchell
has an astonishingly diverse set of influences, but what made P.M. Dawn special is how they incorporated them into music that was uniquely their own. Despite non-existent liner notes and a few omissions, what is here flows smoothly, especially considering the songs were recorded from 1991 to 1999. Like most timeless music,

Just before Mazotos village (if you end up on a dirt track, you've gone too far), is the excellent Costas Argyrou Museum. Costas Argyrou was a local man, born in 1917. During his fifties he visited Larnaka's archeological museum, which inspired him to devote the rest of his life to art. Untrained and working in the naive tradition, he started producing the range of paintings, sculptures, mosaics and woodcarvings now on show here. The themes are religion, mythology and the history of Cyprus, all created with an understated sense of humour and an eclectic use of materials. Next to the museum is a small church in which the artist had wanted to be buried along with his wife (he died in 2001). The authorities refused permission and he was buried in the local cemetery, so now two empty tombs take up the central floor space. There's a final footnote to this remarkable story. Argyrou designed the museum building himself, but, being as untrained in architecture as he was in art, it now has all sorts of structural problems which are plaguing the museum's administrators. Clearly naive architecture (like naive brain surgery) doesn't work.

Album Review
In the aftermath of the magnificent success of 1987's
LP, but with a new
George Michael
solo project nowhere in sight, it was up to
to fill any gaps in the early '90s, a void that was well-filled by two remix albums, both largely populated by the same material, but each packing enough difference to ensure Wham!-ers would be salivating for both of them.
Best Remixes
, originally released in 1990 (Epic would issue the disc stateside in 1998), was the first off the blocks. Just six tracks long, it stuck to the classic club cuts, and thankfully ignored most of the duo's lite horrors, favoring instead the more esoteric songs the group had to offer. The early hits "Young Guns (Go for It)" and "Wham Rap! Social Mix" (both of which received a full U.S. reissue on the 1992
12" Mixes
collection) are joined by "Bad Boys" and two tracks designed to reel in the more mainstream aficionados who were either too young, or too out of step, to hit the clubs at the time. The mawkishly effervescent "Last Christmas," then, becomes ever more jolly in its nearly seven-minute "Pudding Remix" form, while "Careless Whisper," a massive hit on both sides of the ocean, is included here as an extended mix -- but oddly clocks in at the same length as the
Make It Big
album cut. If there's any big disappointment, it's that the compilation barely reaches a measly 35 minutes. But, while it would have been nice to fatten up the batch, at the end of the day it's still enough to satisfy.

Attendees explored the spooky space and its surrounding grounds while sampling cocktails made by some of Charlestons top mixologists featuring Hendricks Gin, Tullamore Dew, Sailor Jerry Rum and Reyka Vodka. Small bites were served up from the likes of Cru Cafe & Catering, Republic Reign Garden & Lounge and The Gin Joint, to name a few, to add to the cocktails-only event.

Meg Loncharic: Show of Hope raises $100,000-plus
The Regional Cancer Center's 25th anniversary Show of Hope, a high-priced, black-tie-optional celebration, proved a grand success.
The Bayfront Convention Center's Great Hall was transformed into a magical place, featuring a unique blend of local talent and national aerial artists, acrobats and cirque artists during cocktails and dinner. That was followed by dancing to the Dave Banks Big Band.
More than $100,000 was raised to help patients receive care they need but might not be able to afford.
F. Brady Louis hosted the program, as the center's founding physicians, William Brereton, Jay Jenkins and Peter Scibetta, were honored.
Sister Margaret Ann Hardner, of the Sisters of St. Joseph, who led Saint Vincent Health Center when the idea for the Cancer Center was conceived, was recognized as a special guest.
The center was a joint venture by Saint Vincent and Hamot Medical Center.
Nearly 500 guests attended the event, including Henry Ward, Dr. Richard Cogley, Jim Fiorenzo and Steve Danch. Jim Jenkins came from Florida to surprise his brother, one of the honorees.
During the cocktail hour, local talent performed under a 30-foot crystal chandelier. The entire space was decorated with tropical flowers. Las Vegas-style showgirls, who served cocktails, added to the glamour. Stephanie Potous-Eaker and Gary Maas created the d�cor experience.
Cheryl Vicary, event chairwoman, and her hardworking committee -- Potous-Eaker, Maas, Greg Engel, Noel Burgoyne, Susan Furr, Diane Mitra, Angela Gast, JoAnn Lyons and Donna Netkowicz -- did a great job.
Photos from the event can be viewed at www.trcc.org.
Rollicking good time
News of the Erie County Diabetes Association's End of the Earth Party is spreading. The Earthquakers rock band will perform at the Dec. 21 event at the Bel-Aire Clarion Hotel. The committee hopes to attract 400 people and put an end to doomsday fears -- thus the party theme.
An ancient Mayan text confirmed the "end date" of the Mayan calendar as Dec. 21, 2012. The 1,300-year-old inscription contains only the second known reference to the end date, but does not predict doomsday. So, fear not.
Eva and Evelyn Tucker and Fritz and Michelee Curtze are honorary chair couples for the event. Interestingly enough, both Eva and Michelee mark birthday milestones that day.
Attire will be holiday casual at the event, which will last from 7:30 p.m. to midnight.
"This is a once in a lifetime opportunity," Michelee Curtze said. "The galaxy will not align like this for another 26,000 years." Sounds like reason enough for a party.
The planning committee includes Peggy Schwab, Kathy Wagner, Patty Rich, Lois Owens, Evan Tucker, Paula Randolph and Nicole Wolf.
They will be assisted by a subcommittee consisting of R.J. Zonna, Cynde Goldberg, Craig Latimer, Mary Beth Wilcher, Chuck Scalise, Rebecca Styn, Aimee Baumann and Vanessa Herring.
Allburn Florist will provide the backdrop for this event.
All proceeds will benefit the Erie County Diabetes Association and will stay in our community to help more than 22,000 Erie County residents.

I remember a driving game which rated your skills at the end of the

Since then I've occasionally come out with "Aw, that's medicree!" to

The celebs were out in force for the UK premiere of the new Star Trek movie in London last night - and it's full marks to Thierry Henry's ex wife Claire Merry for taking the theme literally and rocking up in this silver and black ensemble. As it happens, she's not so wide of the mark: there's a space age feel to much of this season's high fashion, with catsuits, exaggerated shoulders and high-shine metallics featuring on many of the spring/summer catwalks. Fancy giving it a go? O Beach's silver cutaway swimsuit will bring a Star Trek spirit to the beach this summer; top it off with Speedo's silver swim cap.

A fun, sexy, string addition
Reviewed: 13 July 2014 by GoodTimesWales, a Straight Married Male
We've never used a full bodystocking, so I was quite excited when this arrived. The other half was not so convinced, and was worried she wouldn't look sexy in the outfit. How wrong.
She said it wasn't the easiest thing to put on, but once on, it looked amazing.
We loved the feeling of the fishnet between us.
The quality was really good - strong, but soft enough to be comfortable.
Really enjoyed this. Thanks, Lovehoney.
- Pros
- Soft, but strong.
- Cons
- Getting it on.
- Bottom line
- Really sexy, give it a go even if you have doubts.

Comments Thread For: Lewkowicz: Sergio Martinez Has Score To Settle With Cotto
BoxingScene today caught up with Promoter/Advisor Sampson Lewkowicz by telephone as he was entering the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas to meet with HBO executives.
Sampson revealed that negotiations for a blockbuster fight between Sergio Martínez and Miguel Cotto are at an advanced stage.
Team Martínez is focused on this fight, he would love to fight Cotto, its good for the fans and for boxing, he said.
It could be at the New York Giants football stadium [MetLife] in New Jersey, it would be an historical event that would be part of the continuation from Argentina where there were 50,000 fans cheering for Sergio. It would be in June on the weekend of the Puerto Rican parade. [Click Here To Read More]

Oh man! Martinez-Mayweather would be kick ass, especially if Martinez was in his A game. But Martinez is gonna need to figure a way to overcome the Peek A Boo guard. It seems to give him the most problems.
But Cotto-Martinez is a 50-50 imo. Cotto tends to fare better against Boxers than brawlers.

I'll be an astronaut before Chavez Jr. makes 160 again...lol...Chavez Jr. just talks, I don't think he can easily make 160 like he thinks...Canelo learned the lesson of a boxing lifetime from Floyd and seems to have the makeup and maturity to grow from it...Chavez Jr seemed to think he could coast by everything because of his name and size, but got his feelings hurt by Martinez for 11 1/2 rounds and realized he wasn't able to pull a Chavez Sr./Meldrick Taylor for 1:30 of round 12...since then he's still been acting like a brat

I seriously doubt Cotto meant to be or was disrespectful or that that Martinez would give a darn but whatevs if it helps sell the fight. I hope they both make at least 20 million.

Arsenal can be encouraged by home record against Guardiola
Bayern Munich manager usually finds a way to put away Wenger sides
Bayern Munich head coach Pep Guardiola (centre) conducts a training session at the club's training grounds at Saebener Strasse in Munich yesterday. Photograph: Sven Hoppe/EPA
For 20 minutes in 2010 Arsenal must have felt as if the pitch at the Emirates Stadium had been tipped towards their goal. The ball just kept coming back and on the rare occasions when they got it, they were staring up a mountain.
Barcelona were having fun at their expense, Pep Guardiola's side so dominant the home fans could only watch in stunned silence.
Few Champions League quarter-finals have been so one-sided. Manuel Almunia's defiance kept Barcelona at bay for a while but they led 2-0 by the hour thanks to two Zlatan Ibrahimovic goals. The final score? Two-all.
Arsenal went one better when Barcelona and Guardiola returned a year later in the last 16. Again Barcelona were unable to make their superiority count, taking the lead through David Villa but losing 2-1 after conceding two late goals.
Barcelona were cruising until Guardiola replaced Villa with Seydou Keita in the second half, a substitution for the sake of making one, and handed the initiative back to Arsenal.
The relevance of those encounters might seem questionable now, especially as Barcelona won both ties after the second leg at Camp Nou. But tonight Guardiola is back at the Emirates, with Bayern Munich.
The German club are expected to win handsomeland it is hard to see Arsenal standing in their way – but at least they can be encouraged by their home record against Guardiola.
"I have never won here," the Spaniard said. "I learned you can never dominate Arsenal for 90 minutes. You can dominate for 30 minutes, to half-time, for 75 minutes, but for 90 minutes it is impossible. Arsenal, with these quality players, you always have a problem."
Bayern are not immune to complacency. Their sheer remorselessness over the past two seasons, first under Jupp Heynckes and then Guardiola, makes them a formidable proposition and, if everything plays out as expected, they will dispense with Arsenal comfortably. Yet Arsenal will remember the scare they gave Bayern at this stage last year.
The tie looked over after Bayern won the first leg 3-1 at the Emirates but the German club went through only on away goals after losing 2-0 at the Allianz Arena.
So Arsenal, who have made vast strides in the past year, are not entirely without hope and Guardiola does not share Jose Mourinho's view of Wenger as a "specialist in failure".
"Life is not only trophies," Guardiola said. "Arsenal compete with huge teams. I have a lot of respect for Arsene. He always likes good players, always plays in a good style.
Treble last year
But Bayern won a treble last year, have power and skill in equal measure, possess unrivalled strength in depth and are 16 points clear at the top of the Bundesliga. They have lost twice
this season.
Regular watchers say that Bayern have become even better since Guardiola replaced Heynckes last summer, improving on perfection by hiring a perfectionist.
Battling with Mourinho at Real Madrid took its toll, though, and Guardiola looked exhausted when he left Spain two years ago. But a year in New York recharged the now 43-year-old's batteries and Bayern became the envy of the rest of Europe when he chose to manage them.
Bayern are far more physical than Barcelona and have been direct at times under Guardiola, who said he came to Germany to prove he could succeed in another league.
His squad provides him with so many options that there is always a solution.
Weaknesses, like a needle in a haystack, are there to be found – but what if the needle keeps moving?
Arsenal will have to squint hard – and then, if Bayern's boot is hovering above their throat, close their eyes and pray that they miss.

July 18, 2011
The other afternoon, Caregivers noticed Ronnie was walking with her right front leg very stiff, swinging it forward in an arc with each step. She didn't appear uncomfortable or in any pain. In fact, she wandered from grazing spot to grazing spot with her usual speed. The next day, the arc was slightly less, but Ronnie still kept her leg straight. She and Debbie have made their way up the hill, so it's clearly not keeping her from her normal activities. We are giving Ronnie an anti-inflammatory twice daily for the next few days to help her recover as swiftly as possible, but we are not sure what caused this injury. It could be something as simple as playing too roughly with Debbie or tripping over something in the habitat. In any event, Ronnie seems completely unperturbed by it, as she climbs hills and dusts vigorously in very typical ways.

I'm on to my second green tea as planned, but it feels like this load of work is never going to end! Okay, sorry for the dramatic picture. It just encapsulates all that I'm thinking/feeling right now.
I think the one thing motivating me is the fact that I get to share a before bedtime talk with Ian later tonight. Last night we talked till about 3am before falling asleep. That's probably the best way to drift off to sleep. As much as I appreciate that Ian and I share different beds, it's nice to have an arm to fall asleep on once in awhile (:
If only I weren't so technologically challenged, I'd be twittering away these random thoughts right now.
okay, back to work.
and I just want to also say a beeg HELLOO to all you readers (: I smile everytime I get one of your comments. I even mentioned to Ian last night about how there are so many amazing people in the blogging world (:
Thank you all, I love you!

Celebrity Equinox Cruise Review by Edward50: LOVED THE EQUINOX
Overall Member Rating
Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean
Embarkation: Other
The ports of call were fabulous. Our favourites were Santorini, Athens, and Naples (Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast). We took private tours in each and all were excellent.
on our 10 day we were in a regular balcony as we did not feel we needed to upgrade because of the number of ports. A good decision.
We took select dining in Silloutte and were very pleased with the quality of the food. BLU restaurant on the subsequent cruise was better but let us keep in mind that BLU is not serving a 1000 Or more at a sitting. Excellent choice and great service.
If I was to point out one thing that makes this ship one of the best it has to be the staff. In our 24 days of sailing we did not encounter one employee without a smile and a good day. If you look lost someone will stop to help. Very professional. We changed Captains and some crew for the transatlantic portion and they did not miss a beat. Same great attitude.
We absolutely recommend this ship and More this itinerary. Thanks Celebrity. Less
