Falcons, Bulldogs advance
The first quarter was everything the Falcons could have hoped for. The lead built in that frame gave Ingomar the momentum needed to take an 82-52 win over Montgomery County on Tuesday.
Henry Foster seemed unstoppable, going 4-for-4 from behind the arc and posting 17 points in the first quarter, pacing the Falcons to a 31-6 lead. The second quarter went to the Hornets, who out scored Ingomar, 22-13, but Ingomar pieced together a good second half to pick up the win.
"We played a really good first quarter, a lousy second quarter and two pretty good quarters in the second half," Falcons head coach Jonathan Ashley said. "Henry's made incredibly large amounts of shots for us this year, and he was open with some good looks. That always gets us off to a good start. Hopefully we can carry that over to Thursday night."
Foster finished with a game high 32 points, followed by 12 points from Alex Jeter and 11 points from both Devonte Williamson and Sam Cobb.
Tyus Clay led the Hornets with 20 points, followed by Marquis Gunn with 16.
Next for Ingomar was a north half tournament match up with Biggersville. With Tuesday's win, Ingomar hosts this weekend's 1A north half tournament.
"Thursday night against Biggersville, we'll have to play well in order to have a chance, and we need to be a little more focused," Ashley said. "It's an exciting time of the year, especially if you get to host it. It will be a quick turnaround, and it's exciting."
Bulldogs down Greenwood in double overtime
It took two over time periods and an 19 point performance from Eric Chaney to move the Bulldogs on to the next round with a 63-60 win over Greenwood.
The Bulldogs trailed 52-50 late in the game, preceding a three-pointer from Jarel Lipsey that put the 'Dawgs ahead by one with 10 seconds remaining in regulation.
Lipsey later missed a shot at the buzzer in the first overtime period, but the Bulldogs out scored Greenwood, 7-4, in the second overtime to take the win.
Harrison Harding added 12 points for New Albany, followed by 11 points from J.T. Moore.
The Bulldogs advanced to the north half tournament at Corinth, taking on the host team on Thursday.
Urchins season ends
Broderick Montgomery had a big second half performance for East Union, but that was not enough to come back against Simmons.
The Urchins dropped the 65-46 decision on the road, with Montgomery finishing with 14 pints to lead East Union. 12 of those points came off of three-pointers made in the second half.

Below is UCLA's official media release.
As the release reveals, UCLA has raised $40 million, but sources have told us that UCLA is still trying to raise another $20 million in the next 12 months.
Official Release:
The UCLA Athletic Department has released preliminary renderings of its new Football Performance Center, it was announced today. The renderings by ZGF Architects LLP (ZGF), an award-winning architectural, planning, and interior design firm selected by the UCLA Athletic Department to design the new facility, can be viewed at uclafootballfacility.com.
Since the official public announcement of the campaign to raise private funds for a comprehensive football facility back on September 24, 2013, the UCLA Athletic Department has received approximately $40 million in cash and pledges to date.
"The tremendous commitment to our football program, be it from Coach Mora, Heisman Trophy candidate Brett Hundley or AD Dan Guerrero, has been well documented," said Josh Rebholz, Senior Associate Athletic Director for External Relations. "And I'm proud to report that our Bruin family is stepping up and committing as well. To raise $40 million in little more than six months for this facility is truly remarkable, but now more than ever, we need everyone who loves UCLA to keep pushing forward and not rest until we get this project completely funded."
The ZGF-designed, state-of-the-art facility will be located on the west side of Spaulding Field and is intended to house a locker room, athletic training area, strength and conditioning facility, coaches' offices, team meeting rooms, equipment rooms and video rooms, in addition to several elements that will feature the storied history of UCLA Football. Notably, ZGF, whose dedication to design excellence has resulted in a nationally-recognized reputation for creativity and quality, completed work on the University of Oregon's athletic facilities which includes the Hatfield-Dowlin Complex (Football Performance Center).
For more information or to become involved in the UCLA Football Training Facility campaign, contact Josh Rebholz at 310-206-3302, or visit www.UCLAFootballFacility.com.

The LEADER Initiative (Liaisons entre actions de developpement de l'économie rurale) was established by the European Commission in 1991. It was designed to aid the development of sustainable rural communities following the reforms of the Common Agricultural Policy. The Initiative (or LEADER I) became available in Ireland in 1992 and 17 Groups were selected for participation in what was essentially a piloting of the Initiative. This saw the inception of the 'bottom-up' approach to rural development, with the implementation of business plans and decisions on funding being made at a local level on projects.
LEADER II commenced in 1994. It extended the Programme to all rural areas in Ireland and was delivered by 34 Groups. While LEADER I had been a pilot initiative, LEADER II was designed to complement strategy for rural areas in the National Development Plan 1994-99. In addition to increased funding and coverage of all rural areas, emphasis was placed on the development of the acquisition of skills and improvements to the animation and capacity building levels to ensure delivery of the business plan for the area.
LEADER continued in the 2000-2006 round of EU funding through the LEADER+ Community Initiative and the Area Based Rural Development Initiative (a sub-measure of the Regional Operational Programmes). Again, Groups operated in all rural areas of the country, with 35 Groups and 3 National bodies delivering the Programmes.

Matt Martin: Wildlife surprises abound at Yellowstone
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK -- The latecomer's car rolled in around 6 p.m., an hour or more after the small group of wildlife watchers had assembled in a dirt parking lot with a grand view of the Pelican Creek meadow.
The woman tiptoed in to stand among a dozen folks using field glasses and scopes to scan the treelines that border the meadow on three sides. "Can I ask what you're all looking for?" she said.
Nothing in particular, the fellow next to me and my wife told her. But I suppose we're all hoping to see a wolf or a grizzly bear.
"Bear? Really?" she said. "What time?"
For all that goes on inside Yellowstone's borders, all that reliably happens on time is the opening and closing of the visitors centers, general stores and gift shops. Dawn and dusk offer the best chance at sightings of bears and wolves. But even then the question becomes what locale to stake out in the 3,500-square-mile expanse.
Darting around the park's 140-mile Grand Loop by car is exhausting. The figure-eight roadway connects the park's eight major destinations, but they're all at least 16 miles apart. To get from Lake Village, where we stayed, to Mammoth Hot Springs was 49 miles one way. Old Faithful, with stops at the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and the Madison Junction, on the park's western edge, was 58 miles -- a delightful 58 miles, but a long time in the car nonetheless.
The week we spent at Yellowstone in September was our third visit in 11 years, and we vowed this time to pick our spots whatever the outcome.
We picked some great spots.
Our first night in the park was moonless and cloudless, and by 8 p.m. stars were turning on. By 9 we were entranced by a Van Gogh sky. The Milky Way floated just above us in the Hayden Valley as coyotes sang and elk bugled from the dark.
We thought we'd watch the stars again the next night from a deck that stretches over a tight, rocky beach on Yellowstone Lake, just in front of the Lake Yellowstone Hotel. At an elevation of 7,700 feet, temperatures dropped into the 30s or lower with nightfall, so we wrapped ourselves in a blanket, settled in on a bench and looked skyward.
For about 30 seconds.
An employee of Xanterra Parks & Resorts, the concessionaire that runs amenities in the park, roared up in a van, rushed past us to the edge of the deck and shone a flashlight directly under it. Linda asked what he was looking for, and asked again when he didn't initially answer.
About then his radio burst with a call from the hotel asking if he'd confirmed the grizzly bear sighting -- at the deck -- reported by another guest.
We repaired to the hotel's sun room for a late-night coffee.
The next day, on our unplanned and long trip to Old Faithful and its nearby geyser basins, we drove past a massing group of rubberneckers and lucked into an open parking spot in a pullout. We clambered up a rise with the others and trained our field glasses on a rolling meadow. Motion at a low point caught our eyes -- a wolf tearing at an elk carcass.
It was only our first wolf. We decided, after spending our 2010 vacation nights in wildlife-rich Hayden Valley, to stake out the Pelican Valley at dusk. After about an hour of watching elk and a lone bison, something caught Linda's eye on a hillside to her right. A black rock just didn't look quite right. And how did we not notice it when we first pulled in?
The rock unfolded into a lean, stealthy black wolf with eyes for the far side of the meadow, where elk were feeding. Its presence gave purpose to a cow elk's unhinged behavior maybe 15 minutes earlier.
The wolf stalked the meadow for nearly an hour, appearing from and disappearing into tall grass and the cut of the creek. It finally closed in on a harem guarded by a 6x6 bull who was anything but frightened. The bull wandered out to meet the wolf, which sent it scurrying. We lost sight of it in the grass after a time.
The morning of our last full day in the park found us again at the lake, trying to ID what turned out to be far-off common loons. We'd never have seen the commotion nearer shore if we hadn't been scanning the water.
Four river otters -- the animals I most hoped to see -- fished the lake. They lolled on their backs, munching on cutthroat trout clutched between their forepaws. Satiated, they porpoised to the shoreline and basked on sun-warmed rocks in front of a small group of park visitors. The three pups, nearly full grown, competed for their mother's attention until she decided it was time to move on.
That evening we returned to Pelican Creek in hopes we'd see the black wolf again, or a grizzly sow and three cubs that had been reported in the area. In three hours they never materialized, but we did see four Wilson's snipe, the last of more than a dozen bird species we added to our life lists. And, as the light faded, we watched the 6x6 elk run off three smaller, younger bulls that had eyes for his harem.
Bear o'clock never came at Pelican Creek, for the latecomer that night or for us. To our knowledge, we never got closer to a grizzly than the phantom that might have ambled under the hotel's deck.
But Greater Yellowstone did have one more sight for us. As we drove east out of the park toward Cody, Wyo., Linda watched the Shoshone National Forest whir past. She cried out when she spotted a moose, one of her nemesis animals for the trip.
Keep the clockwork. I'll take surprise every time.

I lost 30 pounds through my fitness pal last year. I was thrilled to say the least! But now it's almost back :(
My issue now with two kids and a husband not around five days out of the week is measuring and preparing meals that I could log. Some days I'm scrounging for food quickly when my LO is having a "hold me" day and we all know these foods aren't usually the healthiest or easy to measure out. I'm also confused about how many calories I should have per day between losing weight and breast feeding.
I saw that WW has a three month sign up deal and was wondering if this would help me out better? I've done meetings in the past but never online. Has anyone tried both ways? And which did you like better?
Thanks in advance!

This review is from: XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 120mm Rifle CPU Cooler I5 775 AMD compatible
Pros: -If you want to choose air cooling, it's either this or the Ther*******t U***a-120, and this is cheaper. so WIN
-Fan is attached with rubber pegs to eliminate vibration
-Fan is easy to remove and upgrade if necessary.
-Cool to the touch even with my e8400 oc'd from 3.0 to 4.0. THAT IS WHY I BOUGHT THIS
Cons: -Possibly insufficient instructions (more on that in "other thoughts")
-If you prefer more cfm at the cost of noise, maybe you wish xigmatek chose a beefier fan, i dunno.
Other Thoughts: Judging from the other reviews, it seems common for people to:
-Install it wrong (more on that below)
-Assume it fits in their current setup without taking measurements and then find it doesn't fit (whose fault is that?)
- Get all fussy about the pegs (that's lga775 for ya, so choose a different socket type or deal with it)
-Not know how to set their cpu fan throttle
Installation will be unsuccessful if the following are steps are not followed:
-MAKE SURE ALL THREE HEAT PIPES CROSS THE CPU DIE. Dual-core Intels, for example, have the die running lengthwise such that installing the heatsink the wrong way results in only one heatpipe actually being on the chip.
-Make sure the fan is blowing air across the fins of the heatsink, not blowing it away.
-Make sure the heatsink/fan are oriented along with the flow direction of your case fans.
This review is from: Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model BL2KIT12864AA1065
Pros: - MICRON D9s!!! AWESOME!
- These puppies have been stable for a while at 1112Mhz, stock voltage. I'm sure I could get more if I needed it.
- DDR3 speed for DDR2 price
- Seriously, D9s OC like crazy.
Cons: - Compared to other DDR2 this is pretty expensive
- All the negative reviews on here have convinced me that these are going to burst into flames at any moment.
Other Thoughts: I bought this along with an e8400 and I wanted to go with d9 memory so that I could just start overclocking like hell and not have to worry about my memory holding me back. And this memory delivered, 100%. (my e8400 is at 4.0 no problem w00t) If this stuff holds up for another month, I'm buying another 2 gigs!!
At this point, seeing as I haven't been running it for more than two weeks, I'm only giving it a hesitant 4/5 stars until I'm sure it'll hold up.
This review is from: ADATA 8GB Class 6 Secure Digital High-Capacity (SDHC) Flash Card Model TurboSD SDHC 8G
Pros: -It's just about as cheap as you can get an 8GB SDHC card right now.
-Tripled the storage space on my lovely new Eee PC 4G! Worked right away with no problems.
-slightly faster than most 8GB USB thumb drives of the same price, besides being smaller.
Cons: -It says class 6 on the label but I benched it at a maximum transfer of 4.27 MB/s (29.13x) read/write which makes it a solid Class 4 card but not Class 6 by any means. I could be wrong, so post a reply if you can actually get 6MB/s out of this card.
Other Thoughts: -if you don't need HC, you can get a lower capacity with greater speed for the same price.READ FULL REVIEW

The Phillies have the most wins in the MLB, but they have had many offensive struggles as of late.
The Core Four have lived up to the expectations and have pitched very well. The bullpen has been very solid as well.
The offense however is struggling and is the cause for several losses. The Phillies will most likely make a roster move to bolster the offense before the trade deadline. Here are some options for trades that could help the offense.

Holy Week in Malaga:The Brotherhood El Rico03-04-2012
Comments (1)
The Brotherhood "El Rico" performed the transfer of "Nuestro Padre Jesús El Rico" and "María Santísima del Amor" to the house of their Brotherhood through the streets of Malaga.
The three-hour tour around the walls of Malaga departured from the parish of Santiago and was held in the house of the "El Rico" Brotherhood. In the movement carrying the throne were the prison officials, the National Police, the brothers of the Confraternity El Rico and the women of the Sisterhood The Rico. Santiago Parish, who is known for his baptising of the painter Pablo Picasso in Malaga was also at the procession.

Sorry, that was not supposed to post yet...eeeek! I am looking for the best ever Lasagna Recipe ever. Thanks!
Michelle a single mom to Amanda and Brandon
Last edited 04/02/2008
I haven't made it, but here's one: thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2007/06... Mine's pretty similar. It's a basic lasagna, nothing fancy, but it never lasts long. I simply brown 1-2 lbs ground beef, add a jar of spaghetti sauce and simmer for about 20-30 mins. At the same time I cook the lasagna noodles. Then I just layer with some mozz cheese and bake at 375 for 30 minutes cover, another 15 uncovered.

The recipe from thepioneerwoman is easy to make and really good. My dh will normally pick at the food I make but he will eat 2-3 servings of the lasagna.

Hmmm. I use a recipe I got in a Better Homes and Gardens cookbook (dare I say) 15 years ago. It's made in a springform pan and will stand by itself when done. It's like a Lasagna Torte. It's vegetarian, but I like to serve meat sauce on the side. Of course, I'm at work, so I don't have the exact recipe, but I can make the effort is tonight isn't too late and it sounds good to you.

I make a yummy Sloppy lasanga....... Cook one pound of any knid of noodles, I like rotini, brown some ground meat, add it to the cooked noodles. Add in your fav sauce, about a jar and a half or less, one small container of ricotta cheese, one medium container of cottage cheese, some shredded cheese (mozzerella), and mix all together. Put in a casserole dish top with mozerrella, and bake till kinda bubbly and cheese is browned slightly, at 350 degrees, yumm!

Quick and Easy Lasagna (6 servings) Ingredients 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed 1 (26-ounce) jar spaghetti sauce with onions and roasted garlic 1 tablespoon chopped fresh or 1 teaspoon dried basil 1/2 teaspoon pepper 6 no-cook lasagna noodles 2 cups ricotta cheese 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese Preparation Crumble sausage into a plastic colander; place over a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at HIGH 1 minute, and stir. Microwave at HIGH 3 to 3 1/2 minutes more, stirring every 30 seconds, or until sausage is done and no longer pink. Drain well on paper towels. Discard drippings. Rinse and wipe bowl clean. Stir together sausage, spaghetti sauce, basil, and pepper in large bowl. Spread one-third sausage mixture in bottom of a lightly greased 11- x 7-inch microwave-safe baking dish; top with 3 noodles, 1 cup ricotta cheese, and 1 cup mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers once. Top evenly with remaining sausage mixture and grated Parmesan cheese. Cover with double-thickness plastic wrap, and microwave at MEDIUM (50% power) 30 to 35 minutes. Using an oven mitt, carefully lift one corner of plastic wrap to allow steam to escape, and let stand in microwave 5 minutes before serving. HTH

Rookies are the future of the NHL. It's a great story to see a young player beginning to find his stride at such a young age, bringing a large amount of promise and a glimpse of some of the amazing hockey that's to come over the next years of what fans hope is a long NHL career.
Rookies also have great benefits in the salary cap era, bringing in some stellar play for a very low cap hit, thanks to entry-level contracts.
Thus, the NHL honors one particular rookie every year with the Calder Trophy to set them above the rest as the best first-year player in the league. Here are my top 10 candidates for this year's Calder Memorial Trophy.

A codefendant in Michael Vick's dogfighting case was the apparent victim of a shooting that occurred outside a Virginia Beach nightclub where the Eagles quarterback was celebrating his 30th birthday party.
Vick was not involved in the incident nor was he present at the time of the early Friday morning shooting, his attorney, Larry Woodward, told the Associated Press. Virginia Beach police have not identified Vick as a "person of interest" in the shooting.
"We have no information that [Vick] was involved in any way, shape or form," police spokesman Adam Bernstein said.

There's been discussion of a Pokemon MMO for as long as I can remember. The game is perfect for it, but the problem is Nintendo is a real snail when it comes to catching up to the rest of the world in online capabilities. Yes WoW is dominating right now, but that's on the PC. There's little to no competition on the console markets, and besides it Pokemon even if there was competition it'd do VERY well anyway. I mean come on, it's the 4th generation of pokemon and they've changed so very little about the game, yet people STILL buy it by the millions.
I doubt they'd do anything with monthly fees, all the other online games for Wii, DS, and PS2 and PSP and PS3 are free, I really don't think they'd make you pay to play one game and not all the others.

Bart is shipped off to military school after a particularly destructive prank (lining up 15 police bullhorns and unleashing a soundwave that shatters all the glass in town) — and Lisa tags along (despite that the military school is boys-only and the other cadets don't take kindly to change) after finding public school education has become a grind.
Tropes of this episode: YMMV Here
- Ambiguously Gay: Franklyn, the "girliest cadet" before Lisa joins.
- Actually Pretty Funny: Homer & Marge laugh when they take Bart & Lisa to the dentist instead of Disneyland.
- Bait and Switch: Homer and Marge at the end.
- Badass Bookworm: Despite the other cadets hating her because she's not a boy, Lisa loves the military school because it has rigid structure and teachings.
- Be Careful What You Wish For: Lisa comes to the school looking for a challenge but nearly gives up when confronted with The Eliminator. Bart lampshades this "I thought you wanted a challenge".
- Determinator: Lisa didnt let the other students, all male, get the best of her. They tried to get rid of Lisa on grounds of her sex and proved that she can be just as tough as they are.
- Exactly What I Aimed At: Bart hits the first four targets with the grenade launcher at the firing range, and the fifth shot spirals over the horizon out of sight. The instructor points out that Bart missed his last target, but Bart smiles and says, "Did I?" Cut to Principal Skinner back in Springfield standing next to the smoking crater where his car used to be. Made all the funnier by a "Ha-ha!" from Nelson in the background.
- Gone Horribly Right: Homer and Marge wonder at the end whether or not it's a good thing that Bart now has much more confidence and is trained in several forms of unarmed combat.
- Hope Spot: When the class is ready to tackle the Eliminator:Commandant: Gentlemen, I regret to inform you that the state supreme court has determined that forcing cadets to cross the Eliminator is a barbaric and malicious practice.
Lisa: Yes!
Commandant: Hence, you will be the last class to be subjected to it.
- Hypocritical Humour: Following Be Careful What You Wish For above.Bart: I thought you wanted a challenge?Lisa: Duh! A challenge I could do.
- I'm a Humanitarian: A mannequin of a woman preparing to eating a baby is shown at the police station:Wiggum: That's right: She's got the "munchies" for a California cheeseburger!
- Jackie Robinson Story/ You Go, Girl!: Possibly attempted by Lisa but ultimately subverted. She gets through the semester but the cadets don't change their opinion of her and she doesn't prove better than them at any of the subjects.
- Morton's Fork: As Bart and Lisa are forced to do pushups, Lisa is asked "Don't girls like doing pushups in the mud?". Lisa, in turn, asks "Is there any answer I can give that won't result in more push-ups?", to which, after much deliberation by the other cadets, is "No."
- No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Averted Trope. Just when the other cadets are about to beat up Bart for cheering on Lisa, they realize they have to go dress up for graduation.
- Noodle Incident: Who had the idea of setting up a field trip to the police station?
- Probably Principal Skinner, since Springfield Elementary is so low-rent that a field trip to the police station is all they could afford.
- Parental Favoritism: Marge and Homer send Lisa a cassette intended to comfort her yet they don't send Bart anything, not even considering his feelings about how he is at the school. Possibly justified by the fact that Lisa is there by choice, while Bart is there as punishment for causing large amounts of property damage.
- Smarter Than You Look: Thanks to his years with a slingshot (and the assumption that because he's a public school student, he knows how to handle guns and other weapons), Bart knows how to use a rocket-launcher. In fact, Bart is such a master, he gets Skinner's car from a far distance away.
- Special Guest: Willem Dafoe as the military school's commandant.
- Stock Shoujo Bullying Tactics: A rare Western example has Lisa's classmates pretending not to hear her when she asks for help with an out-of-control firearm.

The challenge of getting homeless people off the street and into affordable housing is one Dee Dee Foremaster has accepted head on.
Since the opening of the Do Drop In, a day center for the homeless and mentally ill, Foremaster has accomplished just that - 93 times. The center has helped 423 people in 16-months.
The Do Drop In opened its doors in August 2005. It offers information on jobs, housing and benefits and is a place for people who are homeless or have disabilities to watch TV, relax and get out of the bitter-cold or searing heat. It is open 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Monday through Friday.
"We're like a one-stop crisis intervention center," Foremaster said. "Seven to 15 people a day come in (seeking help). It takes a while for the services to come together."
Some of Foremaster's first clients, who have succeeded in getting off the street and securing jobs, make up part of the 10 volunteers who assist others in need. They are invaluable in understanding the needs of the clients as they are people who have been in similar situations.
While homeless, Donna Smokey, 49, went to Foremaster for help.
"It's been a long road," Smokey said. "It's hard to not get discouraged, especially with the paperwork you have to do to get assistance. It takes one person who really cares, like Dee Dee, to keep you going.
"The people work wonders for all of us (in need) without being judgmental. I've always had my faith and my girls. They keep me going."
Smokey's 13-year-old daughter, Rachel, goes to the center to visit her mother, solving Rubik's cube puzzles, eating, and spending time with friend Jayme Foremaster, 14.
"I see my mom getting better," Rachel said. "Things are getting easier for her."
Dee Dee Foremaster said she and the volunteers complete the paperwork required by various agencies for their clients.
"What would you do if I handed you all these forms and said, 'Now go home and fill them out.' You never would. It's so stressful. That's why we do it for them."
There are seven pages required for the Nevada Rural Housing Authority Assistance for Security Deposit; five for energy assistance and 16 for food stamps.
"Nevada Rural Housing took a look at the situation and developed two programs for those seeking housing assistance. They were smart. And if it weren't for the landlords, who are wonderful human beings, we couldn't do this. We couldn't get these people off the street."
Foremaster attributes the Homeless Connect day held in September at Mills Park as another reason for her success.
"We picked up seven homeless people during the Homeless Connect and had them in housing in one week," she said.
Star Beacham, 47, was living in a shelter when she was referred to the Do Drop In by Monte Fast at FISH in October. She is now in her own apartment and goes to the center to help others.
"I have a reason to wake up every morning," Beacham said, stroking her braided hair and offering a wide smile. "Dee Dee did that for me. And I stay away from the wrong kind of people."
To continue operations, Foremaster said they need cash donations.
"We can do a lot with $20," Foremaster said. "A person can do laundry, we can put gas in their vehicle for them to stay warm at night, get a shower voucher. It could mean the difference of getting a job or not.
"With lots of support from the community, volunteers and The Connected Church, we will continue to get people off the streets. We could also use a van to transport clients, should any of the car dealers like to donate one.
"We've done what needs to be done for the people. We've gone the extra mile."

FNBO Direct Increases Savings Account Rate by 30 Percent
FNBO Direct, the online bank division of First National Bank of Omaha, is bucking the downtrend of lower savings account rates by announcing an increase in the rate the bank pays on its online savings account. On a percentage basis FNBO Direct is increasing their online savings account rates by just over 30 percent. The actual savings rate increase is 20 basis points to 0.85 percent from 0.65 percent.
Most banks these days are not increasing interest rates on their deposit accounts so it's nice to see a bank make such a large increase on a savings rate. Banks that have increased rates recently do so by a small amount, usually 5 basis points or less. The increase in FNBO's rate now places the bank in the top 10 money market/savings rates on our rate list and in the top 5 on our savings rate list.
FNBO's rate is now tied with Colorado Federal Savings Bank's rate of 0.85 percent. Banks offering higher savings rates include Ally Bank at 0.95 percent, CIT Bank and Barclays Bank at 1.00 percent. Money market account rates that are higher than FNBO's rate include Sallie Mae Bank and Union Federal Savings Bank's money market account rates at 1.05 percent APY, EverBank's MMA APY of 1.01 percent, Able Banking's MMA at 0.96 percent APY and Ally Bank's MMA at 0.95 percent APY.
Opening an FNBO online savings account is quick and money can be transferred into the account via an ACH transfer. If you're looking to open a new savings account you might as well get the highest savings rate on our list at 1.00 percent. You can view and compare the best savings rates and the best money market rates on our rate lists at any time.

Queer Town: Gay Marriage Equals Good Health
Last week, the Gay and Lesbian Medical Association released a report that didn't get much play in the press. While campaign rhetoric was ramped up in the Proposition 8 battle to possibly ban same sex marriage in California, GLMA, which is based in San Francisco, gave another major reason for keeping gay marriage legal: It's important to one's health.
"Marriage can help protect and promote the mental and physical health of lesbians and gay men," GLMA writes in the report, and then lists why: "Marriage is associated with multiple mental and physical health benefits; marriage is also associated with many tangible and intangible benefits that support psychological health, including access to health care through a spouse; and other kinds of legal recognition of same sex relationship do not provide the full range of benefits provided by marriage."
For years, studies have been released here and there about the health benefits of marriage for gays and lesbians, but this report lays it out in 16 pages. For anyone on the fence about same sex marriage, and that includes gays and lesbians, it's a must-read that shows, once again, bigger issues are at stake on Election Day.

5 reasons why you need a steam cleaner
Cleaning is steaming. Here's how you can make light work of the housework.
Cleaning the floors in our homes is a task some love and some hate, but choosing the right cleaner makes it so much easier and the results that much better.
Whether you have hard floors, carpets or a mixture of both, we'll help you find the right floorcare appliances to suit your home. Learn more about the different cleaners you can choose and some of the key things to think about before you decide – if you have pets, lots of rooms or stairs to clean, a certain type of cleaner will work better for you.
If you still can't find what you want or you're not sure what is best for you, our buying guide gives you a more in depth view of the world of floorcare.
Upright cleaners are a good choice if you have a large home or lots of carpeted rooms – they use a brush to comb the carpet pile to lift trodden in dirt.
Cylinder vacuum cleaners are usually smaller and lighter than uprights and are very manoeuvrable – they are a great choice for smaller homes.
Cordless and handheld cleaners are light and battery powered, so you can use them almost anywhere – they are ideal for quick clean-ups and small cleaning areas.
Carpet washers use a detergent cleaning solution – they deliver a more thorough clean than vacuums.
Steam cleaners are multi-purpose appliances that use steam to remove dirt, stains and bacteria from carpets, tiles, hard surface floors, ovens, windows, clothes and upholstery.
Cleaning is steaming. Here's how you can make light work of the housework.
Find the best vacuums for everything from busy family homes to suave city life.
Convenient and powerful, cordless vacuums are now better than ever.
For vacuums, the greatest cleaning power is provided by 'no loss of suction' (NLOS) technology, which uses multi-cyclonic action to prevent the filter from clogging, keeping the suction power at its maximum. Each vacuum also has a rating from A to G to indicate its relative performance.
Some upright, handheld and cylinder cleaners are specially designed to deal with pet hair. They combine strong suction power with special tools and brushes to help you stay on top of the battle against pet hair and odour without damaging surfaces.
Floorcare appliances vary in weight depending on design and intended use. Uprights, steam cleaners and cylinders can weigh over 8 kg but many are designed to be easy to steer and control. Handheld and cordless cleaners are much lighter and can be used anywhere quickly and easily.
The dust capacity of vacuum cleaners is measured in litres (l). Larger capacity cleaners can clean more of your home before needing to be emptied and are ideal for larger homes. But larger capacities can also mean a larger vacuum cleaner and less manoeuvrability.
Our price promise means we won't be beaten on price, If you find Argos, Asda, John Lewis, Tesco or AO.com has the same product at a cheaper price,we'll match it - even up to 7 days after purchase
Over 450 Currys PC World stores nationwide with expert advice and demonstrations available, plus extended opening hours making shopping even easier. Look out for our range of products available to 'take home today' if you need something in a hurry.
It's easy to shop online, with our largest range of products available to order for delivery to your home or local store, plus Reserve and Collect from your nearest store within an hour.
Spread the cost of any major purchases with our range of flexible credit and leasing options.
Peace of mind with our 21 day returns policy. Just return your product unopened, with your receipt and we'll exchange it for something more suitable or refund in full.
Delivery starts from free. You can also choose next day delivery or a day and time to suit you.
Bring your unwanted electrical product into your nearest Currys store and we'll take it off your hands for free, even if you bought elsewhere.
With a Care Plan, we'll fix or replace if anything goes wrong. If your vacuum cleaner is under £150, we'll give you a new one on the spot.

TravelPod Member ReviewsStrand Palace Hotel London
Good and handy for tourism, theatre, etc. Reasonably priced.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
Strand Palace is centrally located across the road from The Savoy but that's the only good thing I can say.
The hotel needs a refit!!! Small rooms, no ventilation, no light, no air con and very sow lifts (they sit on G for ever!!)
I arrived on one of the hottest days in Sept and my relief from the heat were 2 very noisy fans!! The room window only opened a fraction so no cooler air could get in!! The place needs a re-fit and review!!!
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
Excellent central location. Just across from theatres. Covent garden just around the corner. Great walks along the Strand to Trafalgar square, houses of Parliament and the Embankment. Leicester Square easy walk and for the fitter strollers Tower Bridge and the Southbank are all good walks to enjoy the ambiance of a great capital city. We also walked to St James Park and Buckingham Palace but took a ferry past the Tower of London to Greenwich and a train back. Good hotel as HQ and well looked after
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
First off, I would recommend booking through a travel agent, not directly from their website. You'll get much cheaper rates as a rule. We paid about $270CAD (2008) a night for a twin on weeknights and slightly higher for a double on the Easter Weekend. The Strand Palace isn't a budget hotel but it's not hugely expensive either. It worked ok for the two of us sharing the cost for the room.
This location is an excellent one, right on the edge of Covent Garden with excellent transportation links. It's on a main bus line with Aldwych near by for more busses and several tube stations within very short walking distance.
The hotel is about 100 years old so some of the rooms are a bit small. Our twin room had the door open right into the hallway without any entryway so no noise buffer zone. We noticed the noise clearly from the hallway.
The double room I had over Easter was fairly large and bright and faced the Strand so there was some traffic noise even on the 7th floor. My mother's single room was small but bright and cozy. The double and single here both had little hallways between the door and room so were quieter aside from street noise.
The hotel hallways, carpeting and doorways on the room floors can be a bit worn down looking though inside the rooms themselves, the decor is nice and fresh. The lobby and restaurants are very nice. Food very good. Carvery restaurant does good full breakfasts and a nice carvery meal as well. Staff were always very nice and helpful and cheerful to us. Concierge was excellent.
You can get some good deals at various times but overall the hotel is a little expensive but worth it for the location.

Historical Traveler Reviews Strand Palace Hotel London
Go for location not looks...
Stayed several nights with a university group - I had researched and this place is nothing like their website! I think we lucked out and had a bit larger room than everyone else and it wasn't that big. The staff is efficient but waste nothing on being helpful or warm. (I guess they save that for the conceierge so he can work on a tip!) Also, beware the included continental breakfast. Again, efficient, it has cereal, croissants, and fruit from a can, but not warm or inviting by any means. The one saving grace, it has a great location by the underground and Coventry Garden and several shows.
Horrible - Dump
I have never been so horrified in my life. Walking down long smelly corridors with swinging doors, I felt my heart sink as I opened the door to our "room" (questionable term). The wallpaper was falling off, strange odors, mildew collecting on the bathroom ceiling. The bedding was stained, smelly blanket from the 1960's and a buzzing TV. I am a seasoned traveler and this has to be the worst place I have ever stayed. We left early the next morning - I would have rather slept in the train station but luckily, I found a lovely hotel in Covent Garden with a marble bathroom and all of the modern amenities for the same exact price as the Flea Bag Strand (Palace???) Hotel! Funny though - the staff was very cordial almost purposefully oblivious to the horror looming above!STAY AWAY - VERY FAR AWAY!
Not so great
We stayed at The Strand Palace, and were not very impressed. Our room was so tiny, and didn't look ANYTHING like what is on their website. Not to mention that We had to go through 3 sets of swinging double doors to get to our room through a maze of hallways, and past the laundry room. And to make ANY phone call, just picking up the phone and dialing, was 2lbs a minute! Luckily there are pay phones off of the lobby. The staff wasn't very friendly either. The location is very good though, easy to get to the tube station.
Wouldn't go back
I stayed in the Strand Palace in December 2001 and was given the smallest room possible in the world. I know that some people say that London hotel rooms are small but I didn't have room to swing a rat, never mind a cat! The bed covers were old and ratty and the carpets worn. The bathroom was so small and definintely needed some refurbishment. To top it off we had a fire alarm at 3:00 in the morning and had to walk down 6 flights of stairs, to stand in the freezing cold, only to come back in 30 minutes later, with no apology from the hotel staff whatsoever.
For Me Location Wins
I stayed at the Strand Palace twice - September 2002 and March 2003 (10 days). For me location is key as I may see 10-12 plays, especially at the National Theatre on the South Bank. Just a short walk over Waterloo Bridge. West End theatres also handy and Covent Garden. There's a big new Sainsbury market nearby for snacks and drinks.My rooms - one very small, one bigger after I complained - were clean, comfortable and cheerful. Big English breakfast; breakfast room very crowded at weekends when groups arrive en masse. I visit London every year once or twice and have stayed in hotels of all sizes in all parts of town. Convenience counts for alot if you don't want to wait a long time for the bus or take the tube to Notting Hill! It's nice to be able to stop in for a respite before heading out for the evening when you're centrally located.In my price range there is no ideal London hotel, so location wins.
Would Return
My family of 3 stayed in a triple for 9 nights in Feb. 2003. The room was clean and efficient, though somewhat small. The continental breakfast was more than adequate for us, and they served the best coffee, with cream, which we didn't find at all places. In addition to the terrific location, the concierge was wonderful. We acquired almost all our entry tickets through them, at the regular price, and avoided the long entrance lines. After being there for so many days, we were greeted by name! We also had some late night dinners in Johnson's Cafe, good food and moderately priced (for London). We would definitely saty here again.
Great Location, So-so Accomodations
I stayed here just after Christmas for a few days. The location can't be beat - it's within walking distance to so many great attractions, shopping areas, tube stations, places to eat, etc.
The accomodations were ok. My room was small for the price and intermittently noisy thanks to room doors that slam shut quite loudly - the walls were also fairly thin. However, the tea setup in the room was nice, the tv was fine (and it had a clock in it and a wakeup call option), things were pretty basic but in ok shape. The twin bed was lacking support and perhaps the worst piece of furniture in the room. I didn't get any street noise however, because I had an interior room overlooking a dreary atrium.
My interactions with the staff were all very pleasant, except when the maid threw out (one assumes) my earplugs that were in a plastic case on the bedside table (!) thankfully I had an extra pair! It just boggles my mind why such a thing would disappear. Ha ha. After that I tucked everything possible into my bags in the closet when I left for the day, and even left the "do not disturb" sign up all day for one day.
Overall, it was reasonably good and I suppose the price for something so basic can be chalked up to the fabulous location in a city that's not cheap. I would probably stay here again, although it wasn't so great that I wouldn't try somewhere else either.
A diamond in the rough -- but a good choice
We just got back from a week long holiday in London. Overall our hotel stay turned out to be just fine. However, we had to take a stand to get a room with which we were satisfied. We booked our vacation through Go Today Travel and had requested a non-smoking room. Upon checking in it was clear from the smell of the room that we were not in a non-smoking room. We had to speak to the staff twice, and needed to use our assertiveness skills to get changed to a suitable room...initially we were given excuses..."the hotel's completely booked" then, low-and-behold...two non-smoking rooms materialized that worked out fine. The hotel is older and somewhat worn, the matresses were soft and unsupportive. But the location is just great walkable to so many sights, the service fine, and the breakfast more than adequate. Also, we saved quite a bit by booking through Go-Today.
Christmas In London
The Strand Palace is ideally located on the Strand, within walking distance of Trafalgar Square, Charing Cross Rail Station, Embankment Tube Station, National Gallery, St. Martin in the Fields, Covent Garden, St. Paul''s Cathedral, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, British Museum, the Temple, West End. You can find cheaper places to stay, but why waste time getting from your hotel to where you really want to be?
The rooms were nice without being fancy, medium size, ice machines on the club room floors. We stayed on the Club Room floor and had a secure .. only Club Room guests had keys .. meeting room for our group. There was a television, VCR, small kitchen, phone, comfortable chairs .. our own living room while we were in London. A couple of evenings, we brought in wine and cheese to consume while we watched a movie together. The Club Room floor is only a few dollars more and well worth it. Continental breakfast included fruit, cereal, rolls, bread, yogurt, coffe, tea, milk, etc. For 3GBPs more, you could get a full, cooked breakfast. Staff is friendly and helpful.
After a long day traipsing around London, I returned to my room to find a gift from the hotel on my bed. Inside a lovely green box was a delicious fruit cake .. totally different from the US idea of a fruit cake. This one was good!
This will be a hotel we'll stay in again.
Standard, Few Frills, Excellent Location
Have stayed on business here many times (totalling several months).
Standard Rooms are clean and basic. Most are adequately sized, though there are some that feel no larger than a cupboard. Executive rooms slightly better, plus have use of a separate lounge area.
Try not to get a room around the rear of the hotel, as night time deliveries/refuse collections can be noisy.
Breakfast is reasonable and evening meals are very nice. Room service selection is not large but suffices for occasional calls. 2 Bars, 1 open late; so expect to have headache in the mornings.
The location is excellent; right in the heart of the entertainment. Lots of restaurants and everything in walking distance.

London Calling!
... 9 3/4 is from Harry Potter. We searched for it and actually found it! A photo shoot ensued (we're so tourists). Next we headed to check in to our hostel - quite an interesting place. We definitely got what we paid for (only 10 pounds). The downstairs had a bar, pool table, a few tvs, tables, nice computers with internet (very surprised by this) and a couch. Now all of this sounds great, but it wasn't nice at all. We'll say it was much more rustic ...
