Game cards trigger memories, stories in 'Lotería'
In an institutional room in California, the aptly named Luz ("light") tries to make sense of the trauma and tragedy that has befallen her family. She has only a journal, the presumed attention of You, the God or higher power she addresses, and a deck of Lotería cards.
In "Lotería: A Novel," debut novelist Mario Alberto Zambrano makes the cards, used in a Mexican game as the visual counterpart of the numbers in bingo, serve as writing prompts. They're not instruments of divination like tarot cards, but, like the tarot deck, the simple, traditional design of the Lotería cards gives them a touch of the archetypal. (Large images of the cards begin each of his novel's short chapters.) »Read Full Article

A new, sweet business will soon open up in Downtown Aiken.
La Dolce, which is Italian for "sweet," in collaboration with Tea Inspired, will tentatively open its doors some time this month. The new business will offer gourmet desserts, coffees and teas.
The business is run by Executive Pastry Chef Kirstie MacVean and her mother, Tea Master Lady Kelly MacVean. The two are proficient in their chosen arts and are excited to share their talents with Aiken.
"We know what our niches are and, in between, where we have to connect, we tend to find common ground," Lady Kelly said about putting the business together. "So far, so good."
The family is originally from northern New York, and spent some time in the United Kingdom before moving to Aiken seven years ago. The mother and daughter duo decided to open a business together in Downtown Aiken.
"We combined forces and then fell into this space," Kirstie said about their Laurens Street location. "It's an absolutely great location and a great place to do it."
Lady Kelly is the training director of the American Tea Master Association and a certified tea master in the U.K. and the United States. She has owned Tea Inspired for about a year and other businesses throughout her career. She also offers classes to those who would like to become tea masters or upgrade their tea service at their restaurant or hotel.
Kirstie has been baking since a young age when her mother started teaching her and, when she got a little older, she began assisting a woman in New York with novelty cakes. Kirstie then found herself working at a renowned bakery in New York and became the cookie manager at the age of 17, where she had to lead the baking of 25,000 cookies for the Kentucky Derby and 15,000 for the Women's PGA Tournament.
When Kirstie first went to college, she was thinking about equine science or wildlife biology, but she later found herself at the New England Culinary Institute where she graduated top of her class and won the Baker's Award.
"In the course of all of that, I realized what I was meant to do and what I really enjoyed doing," Kirstie said.
The teas will be loose leaf, and the type of tea service offered will be an experience in itself, Lady Kelly said – she is also a pro at serving tea in the tradition of English afternoon tea. The coffee will be from local roaster One Tree. They will also have spices from local Chef Belinda for sale.
The gourmet baked goods will include pastries, cakes, muffins croissants and more. All occasion cakes will also be made, and artisan bread will be baked daily. Everything is made fresh and from scratch.
"Tasting her (Kirstie's) baked goods is worth it right there," Lady Kelly said.
They both offer catering services, too, either on site or at the event location.
The atmosphere of La Dolce is peaceful, with cool colored walls and a classic touch with the chosen decor. The front of the store will be where people can purchase baked goods, spices, coffee, tea and more, and there will be space for around 40 to 50 people to sit. A room has also been set aside for brides and their family or friends to sit with the chef and discuss wedding cake options.
"This is a place where people can come to calm down and take a break from their busy lives," Lady Kelly said. "It's turning out to be very beautiful."
The MacVeans hope to have the business open the week of Thanksgiving. Business hours will be Monday through Saturday from 6:30 a.m. to 2:30 or 3 p.m. They also plan to be open Sunday mornings for a trial run and later, possibly stay open in the evenings during the weekends.
The new business is located at 123 A Laurens Street.
La Dolce can be reached by calling 335-1440 or email email@example.com

I have met several nice women and currently I am writing and corresponding with one in particular. All the women on this site are not only beautiful but willing to invest their time in a serious way. I am happy I have come across this site. I believe these women are worth every penny getting to know them and they know how to treat a man that is willing to treat them like ladies.
My interests vary. Well, one of my most favorite hobbies is volleyball. I have been playing it since I have been very small and it is my real passion. I believe that sports is one of my main interests in life. I love listening to the music. I consider myself as a music fan, that is why it is so hard to stop on some certain type of music and to say that it is my favorite one. I also prefer watching romantic comedies. Sometimes I like to watch some old but very kind movies. I prefer reading contemporary literature but sometimes I turn to classics.More About Me
What can I say about myself? I am a very positive person. I do find common language with different people easily and love communicating and making new friends. I value my friends very much and I am always ready to lend them a hand in a difficult situation. i hate losing. That is why I usually achieve my goals.Ideal Relationship
I don't really care about the appearance of a person I would date. It is not important what weight or height he's. The main thing for me is the state of the soul. I believe that inner beauty is the most essential thing that you could find in somebody else. That's why I am looking for my second part. My man should also be kind-hearted. He should have a good sense of humor, to be an easy-going and reliable person. I guess that is all and I don't think that is so much.Looking For An Age Group

If you're getting tired of looking at the same old construction around the downtown interchange, this might be your lucky week.
But don't get your hopes up too high. The construction won't be disappearing anytime soon, it will just be looking very different.
By the end of the week - most likely Thursday or Friday - the reconstruction of the interchange will move into its second phase, marking the halfway point of the project and giving motorists their first chance to drive on the new Interstate 40 overpass, said Texas Department of Transportation project manager Sammy Harris Jr.
"This is a pretty significant point in the project, because we're halfway home," Harris said. "Once we switch over, things are going to look pretty different out there."
The most noticeable change will be that traffic on I-40 will be switched over to the other side, moving onto the newly constructed overpass. The new overpass will still carry two lanes in each direction separated by a concrete divider, but it will do so with smoother, wider lanes.
Harris said the new lanes will be wider than the narrow, often nerve-wracking temporary lanes that currently carry traffic on I-40, making traffic flow a little smoother.
"They (the lanes) will be a little bit better than what we've got now, but they're still not going to be as wide as they will be when the project's done," Harris said.
Work crews for the contractor, Gilbert Texas Construction Corp., have spent the past few weeks preparing the new overpass to handle traffic. Workers have poured concrete, put up new barriers and laid down stripes to smooth the way for the load of cars to come.
The speed limit on I-40 will likely start out at 50 mph but could be lowered, as it was in the first phase, depending on whether drivers can keep their feet off the gas.
"It probably will depend on the way traffic handles it," Harris said. "Westbound I-40 was originally going to be 50 (in the first phase), but we had to slow them down. It seemed like if we set the limit at 50, they'd do 60, so we dropped it to 40 to get them down closer to where we wanted it at the start."
If you want to be the first driver to test the speed limit on the new overpass, you might want to free up your schedule. TxDOT spokeswoman Tonya Detten said several motorists lined up - one for several hours - to be the first to drive on Loop 335 when it opened, and the same could be true for drivers wanting to blaze the trail across the overpass.
If the news for drivers going straight through the interchange on I-40 is good, people trying to get off or on will find a mixed bag.
Currently, motorists trying to get on I-40 going west have a tough time of it, while eastbound drivers have it relatively easy. But the switch onto the new bridge will also switch the fortunes of drivers.
"It will pretty much be what we've got right now, only opposite," Harris said. "Westbound will get easier while eastbound will be tougher."
Motorists will have to contend with the closure of the entrance from Washington Street onto eastbound I-40, the closing of the exit ramp from eastbound I-40 to southbound Interstate 27 and the loss of the ramp from eastbound I-40 to downtown.
Washington drivers will have to take the frontage road that curves south, then loop under I-27 and get on at 26th Avenue to merge into eastbound I-40. Traffic eastbound on I-40 to southbound I-27 will have to get off at Washington and take the frontage road as well. Motorists looking to go downtown will have to continue east to the Ross-Osage exit, loop under the bridge and come back on westbound I-40.
The ramp from southbound I-27 to eastbound I-40 will close, with a detour onto westbound I-40 and a turnaround under the Crockett Street exit. The ramp from westbound I-40 to southbound I-27 will be shut down as well, with a detour onto northbound I-27 and a turnaround at 11th Avenue.
Of course, with loss comes gain. The move to phase two will allow the reopening of the ramp from downtown to westbound I-40. The exit from westbound I-40 to Washington will also be reopened, as will the ramp from northbound I-27 to westbound I-40.
The I-40 overpass is only part of the project, and the news for the other part - lowering I-27 to grade level to pass under I-40 - will be even better, although it might take a few months to arrive.
Closing the old half of I-40 will clear the way for crews to tear down the last few feet of the old I-27 bridge that goes over it. With that portion of the bridge out of the way, crews will concentrate on finishing the paving and concrete work needed to reopen I-27.
Currently, the asphalt base of the highway is only a handful of feet away from joining up where the old I-27 bridge stands, and the concrete surface of the highway is nearly as close to being done. Harris said he expects the 100-plus Gilbert crew members to focus on I-27 and have it reopened in a couple of months.
Moving I-27 traffic from the current, serpentine path onto the straight and not-so narrow highway will greatly speed up traffic, Harris said.
"That'll definitely be something for the drivers to look forward to, because that will make a big difference in traffic," Harris said.
While work crews are working on the second half of the I-40 overpass and I-27, they'll simultaneously be working on the exit and entrance ramps, which will be refurbished, but not replaced. Other projects include erecting half a dozen huge, 100-125 feet tall light poles to illuminate the interchange and planting grass in the area.
The plan is to have everything ready to open simultaneously when work concludes in about two years. TxDOT scheduled the project to finish in summer of 2002, but Gilbert is hoping to wrap things up about six months early, Detten said.
Of course, that completion depends on a huge variety of factors, the most important being the weather. A mild winter this year allowed workers to get ahead, but Texas Panhandle weather is unpredictable and could just as easily put the project behind, Harris said.
But if even that abbreviated timetable seems too long for you to put up with the interchange construction, Detten has a little advice that might make you feel better.
"Spend a weekend in any other big Texas city and you'll appreciate our little interchange project," Detten said. "This might seem like a huge burden, but really, we're getting this project done faster, and with a lot less disruption than a lot of cities in the state are seeing right now."
Nut graf--The interchange reconstruction project began in April of 1999 and is scheduled to be completed in the summer of 2002. The $33 million project will drop Interstate 27, which was elevated over Interstate 40, down to ground level, and build a new I-40 overpass across the entire interchange. When the project is finished, I-40 will have three lanes in each direction with full shoulders on both sides in each direction.

Third World
From Conservapedia
This is the current revision of Third World as edited by JamesWilson (Talk | contribs) at 09:36, 29 January 2012. This URL is a permanent link to this version of this page.
During the Cold War period Third World referred to countries which didn't align themselves to either of the power blocks the US and its allies and the Soviet Union and its allies. These nations formed the non-aligned movement. It was usually applied to the mostly developing nations of Africa, Latin America, and Asian countries.[1]
Since that time, third world refers to developing and undeveloped countries which have large scale poverty and low levels of economic development. Third world countries often have dictatorships as the form of central government, and in many third world countries government corruption is rampant.[2]

The infield single and subsequent mishandling of the ball by OU second baseman Kolbey Carpenter allowed McConaughy to score as the Cowboys won their 12th game in a row to clinch the school's first Big 12 regular season conference title since 1996, Gary Ward's last season as head coach when OSU won the Big Eight Conference crown.
The Cowboys improve to 41-13 overall and 18-5 in the Big 12, while OU is now 27-27 and 7-16 entering Saturday night's third and final game of the Bedlam series.
Saxon had a Bedlam game that he'll remember for years to come. In addition to getting two of only five hits by the Cowboys Friday night, he made a pair of diving catches in centerfield – one in the third inning to rob OU's Hector Lorenzana of a hit and then for the third out in the top of the ninth inning to set up OSU's game-winning rally.
"I was playing pretty deep and it kind of kept carrying toward me and Conor (Costello) did a good job of noticing and told me to take it, take it, so I knew he wasn't going to run over me. So I felt pretty comfortable and I was going to lay out for it and see what happened, and I was able to come up with it," Saxon said of his diving catch in the ninth inning.
"Saul is a ball player. He finds ways to make good things happen. He brings with him some karma that is pretty valuable."
The Cowboys senior from Shawnee, Okla., was behind in the count to OU reliever Jeffrey Curran when he bounced the ball up the middle. Carpenter attempted to make the play but had trouble grabbing the ball, and OSU third base coach Marty Lees didn't hesitate in sending McConaughy home with the winning run.
"I was in a hole with two strikes, and I was just trying to put the ball in play and make something happened, and it happened," said Saxon.
Holliday says Saxon is a winner.
"Saul is a ball player. He finds ways to make good things happen. He brings with him some karma that is pretty valuable," said Holliday. "Maybe it's the experience, maybe it's the grit, maybe it's just the personality, but you just feel a sense of confidence when Saul is up there (at the plate). He's done it before and he knows in his heart that he can do it again. I think confidence plays a big part in this game, and Saul is a confident player and everyone in our uniform believes in him."
But it was more than just Saxon who came through Friday night for the Cowboys, who improved to 11-0 in one-run games this season.
Freshman Tyler Buffett only allowed four hits and no runs in seven innings as he struck out a career high six while walking just one. It was the best outing of his college career.
Sophomore Donnie Walton was 1-for-3 from the plate but that one hit was a big one. The switch-hitting shortstop was batting from the left side against OU starter Jake Elliott when he turned on an inside fastball and pulled it over the fence just inside the right-field foul pole to give the Cowboys a 1-0 lead.
"He was battling up there … I think it was a fastball inside that he just caught real quick with his hands, and he took advantage of this unique park, (and) found a nice corner. It was a great swing that gave us some breathing room," Holliday said of Walton's homer, his third of the season.
Buffett, the freshman from Albuquerque, N.M., was impressive in pitching before the partisan Cowboys crowd in Tulsa.
"I think he threw the ball tonight with as much aggression and confidence as he has all year," Holliday said. "I thought he handled the stage awfully well.
"I've seen this coming for awhile. He's been getting better, but I think this is the most consistent he's been. He pitched against a team that I think can really challenge a pitcher in many ways, and he handled it beautifully. I think his composure and his confidence were at an all-time high. … but he had great defense behind him. Saul made two great plays, Donnie (Walton) made some tremendous plays."
The Cowboys and Sooners play the final contest in the three-game series at 7 Saturday night at ONEOK Field in Tulsa.

***CARWIN blows knee out. Out of TUF Finale Fight
1 Attachment(s)
I have said it over and over and over again. Carwin was never going to take that fight.
He is done and has been done for a while.
Per Dana's social media.
Carwin blew his knee - fight with Nelson off
From Dana's twitter:
Edit: Beaten by mere seconds! :p
1 Attachment(s)
I had no link though. Haha.
Carwin is done. And has been done. He was never going to make this fight.
Bring in Hunt.
As if this season couldn't get any worse.
Totally sucks for him. First the back surgery with a long layoff and now his knee. Given his age If this is a major injury I could see this ending Carwin's career.
At least they can book an interesting fight now. Like Mark Hunt. :thumb02:
edit: Wow, I guess I'm not the only one who wants to see that fight. ;)
Matt Mitrione is training for a fight on the 29th. :pray02:
just sayin...
I am so mad right now.....
Shane is good people and always put on good fights, hate to say it but he just needs to retire,
Wow. Give Hunt the fight.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using VerticalSports.Com App
Rothwell and Gonzaga were suppose to fight in January. IMO they could use either guy to fill in to fight Roy. Either you get a rematch with Rothwell or you Gonzaga who is still known by casuals.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Darryl Sutter Talks Flames Today
by Paul on 05/26/09 at 05:32 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Vicki Hall of the Calgary Herald,
Darryl Sutter says he will consider stepping back behind the bench for the Calgary Flames.
Three other NHL coaches, all under contract, are of interest to Sutter. Otherwise, the Calgary GM considers himself the top candidate to replace the fired Mike Keenan as head coach.
"I have high standards," Sutter said Tuesday. "We have high standards.
"I can separate general manager and head coach pretty easily if you're surrounded by good people. …If I find out at the end of the search that I'm the best candidate, then I'm the coach."

Embassy quiet over missing Israeli children
The Israeli Embassy in London has again refused to disclose information about the wellbeing of two Israeli children who entered Britain unaccompanied.
In July, the JC reported on the case of a 12-year-old girl and her nine-year-old brother who were sent to the country alone by their Tel Aviv-based mother. In that and a subsequent report, the embassy would give no information.
The embassy's consul in London, Liora Givon, met the girl at a children's facility close to Heathrow Airport on July 28, but claims to have had no contact with her since a failed repatriation attempt on that date.
No-one from the embassy has been in contact with the boy, who is living with a family friend in Leeds.
Last Thursday, we visited the Colnbrook and Harmondsworth detention centres at Heathrow in an attempt to locate the girl, who has claimed asylum in Britain.
But she has now been taken into care by Hillingdon Council's social services department, and is thought to be living within the west London borough.
Embassy spokesman Lior Ben-Dor refused to answer specific questions about the siblings this week, including why the girl had not been visited again by Ms Givon and what arrangements were being made for their return to Israel.
He said: "Our answer is the same answer - speak to the social services in Tel Aviv. We are professionals. We have to follow our instructions. The embassy will not look very fine, but what can I do? "
Mr Ben-Dor said Ambassador Ron Prosor was aware of the case but would also not comment.
The UK Home Office, Leeds City Council and Hillingdon Council all refuse to comment on individual cases.
Varda Horesh, director of Tel Aviv's social services, admitted her department had realised the boy was missing from home last year but said it had not been possible to trace his whereabouts until news of his sister's disappearance broke in July.
"The mother would not give us the details or co-operate. We tried to convince her to tell us where he was. We asked a court to order her to give us the information, but the courts would not help," she said.
Ms Horesh, who admitted mistakes had been made by Israeli officials dealing with the case, said: "They are Israeli citizens and we believe they should be back in Israel."
But Elli Masterman, the mother's former lawyer, said that the woman did not want the children to return to Israel.
"She wants to come to England with her youngest son. She does not want them to come back to Israel. She would prefer to live with them in England but she has a problem leaving Israel with the smaller child because he does not have a passport," he said.

May 5, 2009:
Iraq has made one of its 400 ton offshore patrol boats the flagship of its navy. The Fatah ("Victory"), also known as Patrol Ship 701, just completed a five month training program for its crew. The second ship of this class began its training in January.
The Fatah class vessels are Italian built and based on the Saettia Mk. 4 missile patrol boat. These ships carry a crew of 38 (including a dozen marines for boarding ships). Top speed is about 70 kilometers an hour, and they can stay at sea for about a week. Armament of the Iraqi version consists of a 30mm automatic cannon and two machine-guns. Iraq paid Italy $27 million for each of these ships, and British Royal Navy instructors trained the crews. Within three years, Iraq will assume responsibility for its maritime security. At that point, foreign warships will only operate in international waters.

***OFFICIAL*** Rousimar Palhares vs. Mike Pierce Thread
Jason wins via repeated usage of machete.
I'm hoping for fireworks here. I see someone getting finished, and by that, I mean I see Jason finishing Stephens.
Not the kind of fireworks I had in mind, haha.
Oh well, I guess we will have to wait another month for this one.
Title and OP updated
God I love both fighters, hoping for Palhares to win with FOTN so Mike Pierce doesn't get screwed over and cut
I think it will be a close fight either way. Pierce has a way of making any fight competitive, no matter what level of the opponent he is facing is.
Cutting Pierce if he loses would be ridiculous considering you could almost make a case for him being the number one contender if those extremely close decisions had gone his way.
Middleweight at 145 pounds? :P
Think Rousimar takes though!
Thanks, Life. :thumb01:
umm, the poll is effed up.
