Weekend Split
The series over the weekend against the Phillies was great! We lost the first two games, which was not good, but we won the next two to split the series.
Talk about Adrian Gonzalez. I mean, it's scary to think about how good he would be if he wasn't stuck in Petco Park. Not that he can't hit at Petco, but it seems like he catches fire on the road, especially at hitter's parks. Over the weekend, he had seven hits, including three home runs, two of them in last night's game. He's scary good.
Another amazing part of this series was Wade LeBlanc's performance last night. He went seven innings, allowing four hits and no runs. Oh my goodness he was good. I'm so psyched at our pitching right now. We've got some amazing dudes going out there day after day and pitching great games. Let me tell you, it's so true that without pitching, you don't win. But we do have pitching, and I know it's a huge part of why we are still in first place in the NL West.
Scotty Hairston also had a home run last night. I am sooo happy that he's back.
The weekend series was great. We've still got a half a game lead over the Dodgers. Now we're going to play the Mets for three games before we get to come home.

Unbelievable that the Dodgers are in first place. I thought that would never happen since the Padres are hanging tough. Your Padres are having a great season. Congratulations!
Adrian generally hits pretty bad, overall, at Petco. Last I heard his BA at home was around .210. He is much better on the road. I'm glad he did well in Philly because he can show Ryan Howard a thing or two without all the strikeouts Howard has! We do have pitching and that's been what's kept us going all along, but look out because the Dodgers just jumped us for 1st place, the Rockies and Giants both have great pitching too, and I just don't see any of these teams letting up anytime soon. I think we're gonna have to fight them all with everything we've got. It will be tight but a good race the rest of the way. I was pleased with getting a split in Philly. Wish we could have taken the series but that's OK. Nobody said this was going to be easy.

WHAT IS IT? A fan-equipped helmet dryer that includes a three-hour timer, heat cycle and ozone phase.
WHAT'S IT COST? $129.99 (Power Dry), $29.99 (wall rack).
CONTACT? www.shockdoctor.com or (800) 233-6956.
WHAT STANDS OUT? Here's a list of things that stand out with the Shock Doctor Power Dry helmet dryer.
(1) Function. After sweaty, rainy or muddy days of riding, you sit your wet helmet on top of the Power Dry, hit the power button, set the digital timer (from 10 minutes to 180 minutes), turn the ozone switch on, and select whether you want room temperature or heated air. The Power Dry will turn off automatically at the end of your time period, and your helmet's liner will be dry.
(2) Highlights . Even if you don't choose the heat or ozone modes, the Power Dry helmet dryer will dry your helmet by pumping room temperature air into the interior of the helmet. The heat function will speed up the drying time, while the ozone feature deodorizes your helmet. Shock Doctor claims that the Power Dry can reduce exposure to Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA). MRSA is a bacteria that causes skin infections that range from red bumps to carbuncles. Research has shown that ozonated air is an effective antibacterial treatment. Power Dry claims to kill 99.9 percent of these microbes with continual use.
(3) Performance. It works. It makes a wet helmet dry, but since it doesn't clean your helmet, it can't stop it from being a little crusty. If you sweat like an iron worker, ride in the rain or try to be a four-season racer, the Power Dry can come in handy. As for the antibacterial function, we've never met a motocross racer who has had any MRSA issues related to his helmet.
(4) Accessories. Shock Doctor makes a $29.99 wall hook system that allows you to hang the dryer and your helmet on a wall. It even has an extra hook for your tighty whities. We prefer to have the Power Dry flat on the workbench (where we can put wet air filters on top of it to dry them?on the no-heat mode).
(5) Warranty. The Power Dry has a one-year guarantee against defects in material or workmanship (and there were some problems with the initial production run).
WHAT'S THE SQUAWK? The sun will do most of what the Power Dry will do…for free. Additionally, there are several scientific media reports that conclude that sunlight will kill MRSA bacteria in 15 minutes. Of course, on a rainy day the sun isn't out.
It's an expensive three-star luxury that most of us can live without. If you can't live without it, it's worth four stars.

A new study out of Metro Health Medical Center finds the nation's hospitals could save millions of dollars in extra costs by more effectively preventing pneumonia in stroke patients. ideastream's Health Reporter Lisa Ann Pinkerton has more.
The study finds pneumonia may occur in less than 10% of stroke patients, but the costs to treat this common complication could save America's hospitals around $459 million a year. Lead researcher, Dr. Irene Katzan, says these are costs not covered by insurance reimbursements.
Irene Katzan: So this is extra costs that the hospitals are bearing for patients who have had a pneumonia. So this is an incentive to optimize quality of care with patients of stroke.
Katzan says stroke victims often have difficulty swallowing and pneumonia can develop when liquid or food gets into the lungs. She says a simple swallow test could prevent the complication, but only about 44% of physicians perform such a test before administering nourishment to patients. The study was released this week in the the Journal of the American Academy of Neurology. Lisa Ann Pinkerton, 90.3.

My 13 month old might be weaning from daytime feedings. I am not sure & could
use some insight from experienced mamas.
So, we typically nurse when she wakes up, which she seems to want still. Then we
typically nurse at 8, 11, 2, and before bed. It's the 3 sessions during the day I am
wondering about. Somedays, she doesn't really ask to nurse. I'll sign nursing to
her & she'll seem interested but it's hard to know how much she's eating.
I hardly feel a letdown during the day but I sometimes feel it before bed.
Some times after nursing, she seems upset and wants to eat a meal, especially at the 8 am session. The 8 am is before breakfast and 11 am is before lunch.
I'm really confused. Is she weaning or not? She does drink goat's milk at daycare the 3 days we are apart so should I start feeding her that instead of nursing those 3X.
I don't want to stop nursing her but I am wondering if I should start feeding her
goat milk instead. Currently she drinks 3.5 oz at a time at daycare.
Appreciate others perspective on this. Thank you!

Really? That's what Julius Peppers' expression said.
Oh, he knew there'd be skeptics. He's 34 years old. He's entering his 13th NFL season. And although he appears to still be in tip-top physical condition, even he acknowledges that it's reasonable to wonder just how much he has left in the tank.
"You know, I guess it's something that you expect," the Green Bay Packers veteran defensive end/outside linebacker said Tuesday afternoon. "There's not a lot of 34-year-old defensive ends playing in the league, so I guess it's a fair question."
But apparently, there are some who believe their skepticism has been validated by Peppers' 10 inconspicuous snaps in the Packers' preseason-opening loss to the Tennessee Titans last Saturday night, that it was a sneak preview of the impact-free 2014 season he'll have for his new team.
If you're among those doubters, Peppers would like a word. Or, more accurately, an after-the-season film session.
"We'll see about that," Peppers said, sounding both annoyed and dismissive. "I'm not really going to get into too much discussing what I can and can't do. I'm going to let the film speak for it."
And let's be clear: Peppers admitted he was a non-factor against the Titans. Shonn Greene's easy 12-yard touchdown run went right through the area he vacated when he rushed upfield and lost the edge. He was standing up at right outside linebacker at the time, and before the snap, he appeared confused as to where he was supposed to be.
"I didn't get much done," Peppers confessed. "But it's a start. It's a start. We'll play a little bit more this week and see if we can get a little better this week."
It's not out of the realm of possibility that Peppers will have a minimal impact this season. As with aging pass rushers DeMarcus Ware (who went from Dallas to Denver) and Jared Allen (who went from Minnesota to Chicago), it's reasonable to wonder just how productive he'll be at his advanced age. He had 7.5 sacks last season while playing a whopping 855 snaps last season, and the Packers believe less will be more for him: Fewer snaps, more production.
The feeling in the locker room since Peppers' signing in March – from Aaron Rodgers to Clay Matthews to Mike Daniels on down the line – has been one of excitement. While transitioning to playing outside linebacker in a 3-4 scheme for the first time in his career has been a challenge, in the end, rushing the passer is rushing the passer.
"Julius is doing good. We've asked a lot of him. We haven't just lined him up in one spot," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said of Peppers Tuesday. "He's picked it up quickly, he's getting more and more comfortable, particularly who he's playing next to and things like that. I think he's having a solid camp."
Said Peppers: "I've had to make a few adjustments with stance and things like that, getting off from a two-point stance. But other than that, it's really a lot like playing defensive end. So the transition has been pretty smooth."
Peppers figures to play more extensively this Saturday at St. Louis, but even if he has a similarly unproductive game, it's no reason for panic. He's been through 12 previous training camps. Don't you think he knows how to pace himself for when the games, you know, count?
"[Preseason] is just about getting adjusted to the speed, really. Technique and things, over the years you develop and you get pretty sound at those things," Peppers explained. "It's just about doing them at game speed."
Perhaps this stems from Peppers' reputation for being hot and cold in the effort department in games that do count. But spend some time talking to him, and he seems genuinely revitalized by some of the young talent around him and likes the idea of not being expected to carry the defense all by himself.
If Peppers looks lost or is a non-factor in the Sept. 4 regular-season opener against the defending Super Bowl champs in Seattle, then you can start to worry. But for now, let's call it what it is: Meaningless.
"Preseason is what it is. We're going to get through that," Peppers said. "Eventually we're going to have real games for everybody to talk about."

Like many other young men, Jason Ross hates shopping. He's interested in fashionable clothing, but finding a place to buy the latest clothes without going through the pain of shopping is a problem.
That was the spark for Ross' rapidly growing business — JackThreads, a members-only online shopping site that offers daily sales, with as much as 80 percent off men's fashions.
The road to online success in men's fashion began with something completely different, however.
After graduating from Ohio State in 2003 with a degree in finance, Ross started a sports-marketing company, "but I didn't have the passion for it. I thought, 'OK, I still want to start a company, but I need to find something I'm passionate about — and marry it to a high-growth opportunity.'"
While casting about for ideas, he realized there was an open niche for an online men's fashion site. In January 2006, he began writing a business plan at his house in Westerville.
"In the next 2 1/2 years, I figured out how to do it. I had no retail background, no fashion background, no tech background. I called an Upper Arlington shop owner, Connie Leal Ballenger, of Leal Boutique, for the retail part; and, through OSU, learned about website commerce.
"Then we launched JackThreads on July 31, 2008."
Ross is one of many young entrepreneurs whom Ballenger has talked to over the years about starting a retail business, "but he did seem to have a unique idea," she said.
"That stood out. Men's fashion in general is untapped, and that generation of men is much more fashion-savvy, so his timing was good, too. And the (Web sales) media was emerging, so put those things together and you have the makings of a successful business."
Even so, JackThreads' first year in business was touch and go. "I had a houseful of clothing," Ross said. "I used credit cards to fund the business. Our first year, I was calling as many online communities as I could — GQ.com, things like that — and getting guys to sign up." (Registration is free.)
Then the site "went viral," and JackThreads had 35,000 members without any marketing budget.
"We outgrew the house and got a warehouse in Grandview," Ross said.
By the second year, JackThreads was advertising in Thrillist.com, the digital media company that offers fashion and lifestyle advice and merchandise to a young, urban, male demographic.
The move to advertise on Thrillist.com pushed membership in JackThreads to 150,000.
That surge led to a meeting with the Thrillist CEO and, in May 2010, Thrillist became the major shareholder in JackThreads.
Sales this year have been exceptional, Ross said, at $80 million double the sales of last year. Membership also "is exploding," he said, and is now between 4 million and 5 million.
Those members aren't just in the United States. On April 1, JackThreads began shipping to the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia; and in late October, the company expanded to Mexico, Russia, Germany, France, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, Italy, New Zealand and Switzerland.
Even before the launch into foreign markets, JackThreads was doing tens of thousands of dollars worth of business overseas — even though customers had to use freight-forwarding services and other means to obtain merchandise.
"We feel there's a huge growth opportunity there," Ross said. "It's been really interesting to witness the demand we're seeing from the underserved guys overseas."
The opportunity isn't without its challenges.
"We realized that when we started targeting guys in Australia," he said. "When we go into fall, for instance, they go into summer. So it's a different merchandising strategy."
Ross shuttles between Columbus and New York, where Thrillist.com has its offices. But JackThreads still has an office in central Ohio and, as the business grows, Ross hopes to expand the company's distribution center in Columbus. "We will start discussing it seriously by the end of next year," he said.
The prospect of creating many jobs in Ohio would be another achievement for JackThreads, and for Ross.
"It's been a pretty good run, huh?" he said, grinning. "We're coming up on eight years in January. I'll take that."

Padres Sweep!
Okay, so it wasn't that surprising, but it was a lot of fun to get all three games. Especially right before this Giants series, but more on that later.
I got to attend the game yesterday, which was a blast. That was my third game of the year. It was Throwback Thursday, which meant that both the Padres and the Pirates wore their 1978 uniforms. There was a lot of yellow, brown, and stripes. The Padres' uniforms aren't my favorite, but the Pirates' cracked me up. We decided that they looked like a cross between train conductors and prisoners.
The game itself went really well. Jon Garland started, and he was very good. He didn't allow a hit through the first few innings, but he did allow a few walks and a hit batter early. I looked at the scoreboard and thought, okay, Jon hadn't given up a hit yet, but he already had gotten himself into some potentially dangerous situations!!
He ended up going six innings, only allowing one hit with four walks and five strikeouts. Amazing performance.
We didn't score until the bottom of the third. Jon Garland led off the inning with a single. Jerry Hairston sac-bunted him over the second. Then Miguel Tejada doubled him in.
Really, that was all the offense we needed. But in the sixth, Ryan Ludwick gave us a little more.
It was really interesting because Adrian started off the inning with a seemingly routine groundout to short. He hit it, the shortstop picked it up and threw as Adrian slugged down the line. As the ball hit the first baseman's glove, Adrian was definitely out…but then the ball bounced out of the first baseman's glove! It was totally unexpected! They gave the error to the shortstop though instead of the first baseman, which I thought was interesting.
Crucial error for the Pirates, though. After taking two balls, Ryan Ludwick hit a two-run homer out into the Padres bullpen! It was soo sweet!!
The relief pitching was amazing!! Luke Gregerson came in after Garland left and got two batters on six pitches. Then he allowed a single, but Joe Thacher came in to get the lefty. Two pitches and his job was done. I'm sooo happy that Thatcher has really turned into such a solid pitcher. I remember the really bad days in 2008 when he literally couldn't pitch. It's so nice to know that he's much, much better than that pitcher he was.
Then Heath Bell came into the game in the top of the ninth. But it was super lame because they didn't even do his big entrance. No "300" clips. No "Blow Me Away." Just some random song from the '70s. It was pathetic!!
But thankfully he was on his game. It took him four batters, but he got his 34th save of the year. And we won 3-0!!🙂
So these Throwback Thursdays are new this year and I have to say that I was not very impressed. I'd say that it hindered my ballpark experience more than added to it. First of all, I think it's cool that they had the old jerseys and the organ player, but I wish they hadn't cut out almost everything else. For example, all they played was this awful '70s music when the organ wasn't playing. They didn't play any of the player's walk-up music, and like I said, they totally cut out Heath's entrance.
I mean, what if Trevor Hoffman had still been here and there was this person who could only come to this game and had never ever seen Trevor Time and was super excited going into the top of the ninth because they were going to see Trevor Time? You can't just cut out Trevor Time.
Second of all, the in-game host wasn't even there the entire time, which meant that the entertainment between innings was pathetic! Well, I guess it wasn't just his fault. They did have all the typical stuff like dot races and guess the attendance and best seat in the house and hat shuffle, but it was a lot more boring.
The organ player was great. I'm not saying anything against his talent or ability. Maybe it was just me, but I really missed all the music that they usually have. Again, I love hearing "Blow Me Away" when Heath comes in. I love hearing the player's walk-up music. I don't like hearing all this nasty '70s stuff.
Now, personally, I don't like oldies stuff, so maybe that's why I didn't enjoy the whole retro thing as much. Like I said, it's cool to have the jerseys for a retro day, but I don't see why they have to cut out everything else.
The thing that bugged me the most was that I barely got hyped up at all. There were zero scoreboard prompts to get loud. There were barely any clapping thingys. Even with the minimal excitment on the field, I should have been screaming and getting hyper a lot more than I did. When I go to the ballpark, I go watch my boys and get excited! I love screaming and clapping for my boys. I love getting excited. But the only times I got more-than-normally-excited was the home run and when Heath closed the game.
Here's how bad it was: when Heath got two outs, they didn't even put up the "ON YOUR FEET" sign!!!!! How wrong is that?!?!?!?!? Man it bugged me sooo much.
So if I had to make a suggestion on how to make Throwback Thursdays better, I would say that there needs to be more interaction. I was extremely mellow the whole game, and you do not want that. You want your fans to be totally alert and into the game. Give us more scoreboard promts. If they have to be, they can be retro promts, but just get us into the game more.
Needless to say, I'm really, really looking forward to the next game I'm going to do, which will hopefully be normal. A Friday night game against the Phillies.
But we've got three big games this weekend against the Giants. I'm really thankful that the players themselves are seeing this like any other series, but that doesn't mean that the fans can't hype it up. I don't think it's going to be season-determining, but I think it would be great to gain a few games on the Giants.
I know that the boys will play their hardest and hopefully will get the better part of the series. After all, we have beaten the Giants seven out of eight times this season. I like our chances.
P.S. You know what I think is really funny? All the headlines today are about how great our new additions are (Miggy and Luddy), and though they both contributed in a big way, they also each grounded into an inning-killing double play. Nice.

cant say I was too surprised at this as well. You guys shut. us down. only wednesday night did i think we had a chance after our valiant comeback. congrats though! glad you enjoy our unis! we always say that the hats look like a birthday cake
Taterz, everything you said is exactly right. I do agree that we shouldn't have to be prompted, but I think it helps get us going. And yes, I think Throwback Thursday is perfect for people that are bothered by the loud music and lament the old days. I'm a teenager, so you can expect that it's not really my thing🙂 I'm into the loud music and stuff. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and all I'm saying here is that it wasn't for me. Thanks for your comment!!
The whole idea of the throwback thursday is that its a throwback to when baseball fans watched baseball games and knew how to get excited without being prompted. As for Bell's entrance music, it wasn't a random song. It was one that worked — "RING MY BELL" Goes with his name. And you are right, we weren't told when to make noise, but at the right times, we did. We weren't told "On Your Feet" with 2 outs, but really? should we need to be told? With 2 strikes everyone was loud and on their feet. I realize that it may not be your cup of tea, but thats why there are 76 games that are NOT throwbacks , that an equal number of people will complain that the music is too loud or too obtrusive, that the prompts are silly. To those that enjoy a more simple game, these are for us. And really, fans got excited in the days BEFORE prompts. Why do we have to rely on them or need them now?
Hey Kaybee! I'm a long-time reader of Unfinished Business. I too was at the game yesterday and felt some of the same things as you did; there seemed to be a general lack of urgency and intensity. I understand that it was a day game against the pirates *cough cough*… but it still seemed like the atmosphere was lacking something considering the time of year and the pennent race we're in. I saw the game with my friend visiting from New York and he commented that PETCO Park had the same feel as the rest of San Diego: laid-back, 'chill', and sunshinily complacent. That's great for the city, but with only a handful of weeks before the playoffs I think our baseball team and stadium need to get amped! Keep up the great writing.
Jnay: wow, thanks for the comment! It's great to hear from you! Yeah, I agree. I think the front office needs to get some serious hype going. We very soon may be NL West Champions!!

Hello people,
a couple of years ago I wrote a beta version of the two Joomla! components "Joomla! Picasa" and "Joomla! Flickr". In the past two years, the two packages have been downloaded and tried more than 70.000 times, generating lot of interest and discussions, even in their early stage of development.
I'm now going to completely rewrite them, to keep them competitive in the growing market of Joomla! extensions. The two components are obviously going to be completely free and open source.
Before I start developing again, I'd like you all to discuss with me the features that you would like to be implemented and what you DON'T want to be included in the packages. I will then start two fresh open source projects for them and all contribution will be welcome.
Ready for a new version of the two photogallery? Start proposing, adding comments to this post, then…

I have 12 of these ...
but today i say
Givenchy Gentleman , vintage only .
Almost impossible to answer, but I'd have to say of all the things I've smelled that Chanel's Egoiste is possibly the closest to perfection across the board. Of course, I'm sure there are those who hate it, and it's not even my favorite...but every time I smell it, I think, "Ahh, now that is perfect."
Let's put it this way: Chanel is probably the most consistently excellent house for men's classics. I'd say YSL is a close second. IMHO.

The one you like the most
Honorable mention to Patou Pour Homme and Creed Vintage Tabarome, but the best male fragrance is JPG Le Male layered with Egyptian Musk roll-on from downtown Brooklyn, trust me.
Aramis. Because everything else cowers at its feet.
It's a tie between the venerable Patou Pour Homme and the pugnacious Super Fragrance for Men by Etienne Aigner.
Chanel Egoiste
Egoiste came to my mind immediately too but an impossible question to answer.

Anataeus is a colossal, towering masterpiece of masculine perfumery. Of course there are hundreds out there that are equally as equally, but this one gets to me every time <3
my current top five (always in transition)
Dior Eau Noire

eau de gloire parfum d'empire
Dia man Amouage

This is a hard pick,
My personal favorite is Mitsokou,
Market favourite is Aqua di gio ( even someone with no experience in pefumes have heard about it) but personally i do not like it.
Silly thread. Should really be called "what's your favourite fragrance?"
Pure malt .
Mugler and his production/marketing team should be officially called "dumb and dumber " if they don't bring it back in production .
Hypocrites will always be a thorn in my back....and my middle finger will always be the best remedy.....
Well, there is this fragrance that I've made for myself, which is without a doubt the best male fragrance ever. Too bad you guys can't have it though.

"Laurie" was the youngest of four girls. Right out of the gate, her mom would tell you, she was all about "Laurie."
When she was very young, it was cute, and when she would take her older sisters' clothes or toys as if they naturally belonged to her, everybody chuckled and took pictures and called her "Little Miss Me, Mine."
As Laurie matured, her self-centered behavior didn't change and became a lot less cute. She got in trouble with the parents of friends and soon lost friends because of her bossy ways. Her family felt a little worried but thought she'd grow out of it. They went to see a family therapist as Laurie reached her early teens because of her absolute willfulness and unwillingness to follow family guidelines. After a dozen sessions, they agreed on a behavior contract, and with a sigh of relief, her parents thought they finally had turned the corner with \Laurie.
Two weeks later, she was busted at school for possessing and selling weed and was expelled.
Completely unrepentant, Laurie attended the required drug and alcohol evaluation and the subsequent drug education classes, but she had no intention of cleaning up her act. She felt her parents and the school were trying to control her. Although Laurie, now 16, already was drinking regularly – as was her right, she thought – and weed was almost legal, her friends started moving into prescription pills.
After finding Laurie non-responsive on the couch one afternoon after school, her parents, horrified and uneducated about her budding addiction problem, called their family doctor, who suggested a treatment program. Within 48 hours, Laurie was in her first adolescent drug and alcohol rehab.
This wasn't Laurie's last rehab stay, but her parents started to understand what they were dealing with and slowly began to treat her like a person with an illness rather than a selfish little girl. It took much heartache, two more rehabs and the willingness on her parents' part to do some difficult things.
They realized things like not bailing her out of jail, not giving her money when she said she didn't have enough to eat and not rescuing her from disastrous decisions was the only and most loving thing they could do. They found they needed acceptance and support to take this difficult path.
Although her parents had begun to think it might never happen, Laurie, now 18, is living in a recovery home with four other girls and doing well. She is working on a GED, has a part-time job and has been sober for nine months.

Red Meat: Is It Hazardous to Health?
Red meat consumption has been linked to diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and several types of cancer (breast, colorectal, stomach, bladder, prostate, and lymphoma). There are plausible mechanisms: meat is a source of carcinogens, iron that may increase oxidative damage, and saturated fat. But correlation and plausibility are not enough to establish causation. Is red meat really dangerous? If so, how great is the risk? A couple of recent studies have tried to shed light on these questions, but they have raised more questions than they have answered.
A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
A new study in Circulation, "Red and Processed Meat Consumption and Risk of Incident Coronary Heart Disease, Stroke, and Diabetes Mellitus. A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis," by Micha, Wallace and Mozaffarian, is a systematic review of the literature. It analyzed 17 prospective cohort studies and 3 case-control studies, with a total of 1.2 million subjects. As far as I can judge, it appears to be a well-done systematic review with excellent methodology and multiple precautions. They even looked for things like publication bias (which they did not find).
They found that the consumption of processed meats, but not red meats, is associated with a higher incidence of coronary heart disease and diabetes. (Processed meats include bacon, sausage, ham, hot dogs, salami, luncheon meat and other cured meats.) The increased risk per 50 gram serving of processed meats per day was 42% for heart disease and 19% for diabetes. Unprocessed red meats were not associated with CHD and were associated with a nonsignificant trend towards higher risk of diabetes. They found no association with stroke, but this was based only on 3 studies.

Do you have extensive video of a major tourist attraction, a National Park, a City tour ? Are you looking for a way to re-purpose your work ?
My company has developed the GPS Ranger, www.gpsranger.com.
The Ranger is a handheld computer with a 4" LCD screen and built in GPS technology. It is designed to be an automated tour guide product. Our product is installed in 7 locations; Martin Luther King Historical Site, Vicksburg National Military Park, Death Valley National Park, Cedar Breaks Nationa Monument, the San Francisco And Dallas Zoo and most recently a walking tour of Key West, Florida. We have 8 more projects lined up as well.
We are looking to expand the number of partners we work with.
We have the hardware and the software and we are looking for content development partners who have compelling and interesting location based stories.
Our system will take your video in 1 to 5 minute segments and have your content automatically trigger in front of a point of interest, how about walking tours for Paris, Venice, Moscow and so on.
Attached is a brochure. Take a look and let me know if you are interested, Thank you

Voices from the Waters 2008
3rd International Film Festival on Water
Bangalore Film Society, Arghyam, Svaraj- Society for Voluntary Action Revitalization and Justice, Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival, Ithaca College, USA (FLEFF) Mountainfilm in Telluride, USA, Alliance Francaise de Bangalore and Water Journeys – Campaign for Fundamental Right to Water are organizing the third International 'Voices from the Waters'- the biggest international film festival on water in August 2008 following on the footsteps of the hugely popular and successful events in 2005 and 2007.
This consortium of committed organizations active in water issues are inviting you to be part of this festival by contributing short, documentary, animation and feature films (DVD format only) with English subtitles on water and related issues. Also include a photograph and CV of the film-maker, a minimum of three film stills and a short synopsis of the film. You are also most welcome to send us photographs for exhibition at the festival.
The first edition of 'Voices from the Waters' was held in April 2005 in collaboration with Alliance Francaise de Bangalore, while the second was held in June 2007 in Bangalore, India by a consortium of organizations. With the overwhelming success and the positive responses to the festival from across the globe and the urgency of the water issue to a planet headed towards catastrophe, 'Voices from the Waters' is being organized as an annual event of images and sounds, of films, songs, photo and art exhibitions, lectures and conferences, a platform for diverse voices – free as water as nature intended it to be.
If you have a film under the following categories:
1. Water Scarcity,
2. The Dams and the Displaced,
3. Water Harvest,
4. Water Struggles,
5. Floods and Droughts,
6. Global Warming and Climate Change,
7. Impact of Deforestation on Water Bodies and
8. Water and Life,
you should consider sending it to us so that we may place them in the festival. All entries will be acknowledged. 'Voices from the Waters' is a public awareness program and while there is no entry fee for the festival, the final short-list for the festival will be decided from the entries by a committee comprised of eminent film-makers, film critics and social activists. This is also conceived as a traveling film festival.
Deadline for entries is 30th April, 2008 .
For more information, contact us at the address below.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
The organizing committee
If there is magic on this planet it is contained in water

Hi all -
I've wrapped up a rough cut of my first documentary film titled, "The Money Stone," and I'm in search of a NYC based producer to help finish the project. The film explores the world of illegal gold mining in Ghana, West Africa and looks at its impact on the people and the environment. The film was workshopped last November at the IFP Rough Cut Lab in NYC and has already gained some interest.
Ideally, I'm looking for someone experienced and who has a passion for film about human rights and development in Africa. More specifically, I'm looking for someone who will help secure completion funds, aid in the creative process of bringing the film to picture lock, and help in bringing the film to festivals and through distribution. Most importantly, I'm looking for someone to become part of the team who wants to see the film be successful and get the word out about the topic. Compensation will be provided once funding is secured.
Visit www.moneystonefilm.com for more info about the film. Please email all inquiries to email@example.com.

A low, slow goat that takes 10 minutesAP Photo
Roasted rosemary leg of goat is shown on a plate.
When is a recipe that takes many hours a fast and easy recipe? When it takes just 10 minutes of your time to prepare.
Admittedly, this recipe for roasted goat isnt weeknight-friendly. But it is ideal for a weekend when you want a bold, richly flavored dinner that sports tons of slow-roasted deliciousness without needing to spend the day slaving in the kitchen.
But first, we must address the issue of goat. Plenty of people think its a little sketchy. But when properly prepared it is crazy delicious, akin to the best dark meat turkey youll ever taste. You probably wont find it at most mainstream grocers; farmers markets or ethnic markets are where to go to hunt down this dinner. For this recipe, ask for the shoulder roast, sometimes labeled leg roast.
In fact, getting the meat probably is the hardest part of the whole recipe.
If you want to add some roasted potatoes to the mix, add 1 pound of lightly oiled new potatoes to the pot (around the goat) during the last hour of cooking.
Slow-roasted rosemary leg of goat
This recipe was written for a 2¼-pound bone-in leg of goat, which will make about 4 servings. If you cant find that size, or need a larger one to feed more people, estimate about 2 hours of roasting per pound. We also found that using a ceramic Dutch oven slowed the cooking slightly; a cast-iron pot accelerated it. Its best to check the meat about every 30 minutes after it has roasted for 3 hours.
Servings: 4
3 large carrots, cut into 2-inch lengths
1 medium yellow onion, roughly chopped
2 large sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves only
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon ground dried sage
½ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
2 tablespoons olive oil
2¼-pound bone-in goat leg
2½ cups white wine
Heat the oven to 425 F. Arrange the carrots and onion in a Dutch oven.
In a mini processor or spice grinder, combine the rosemary, garlic, thyme, fennel, cumin, salt, peppercorns, paprika, sage, coriander and cloves. Grind until a coarse paste forms, then transfer to a small bowl. Add the olive oil and mix to form a loose paste. Set aside.
Use a knife to trim away any fat on the exterior of the meat. Rub the oil-and-spice blend thoroughly over the meat, massaging it into any splits or separations. Set the meat on top of the carrots and onions in the pot. Pour the wine into the pot (not over the goat, which would wash away the seasoning rub).
Set in the oven and cook for 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to 300, then cook for another 3½ hours, or until the meat falls away easily from the bone.MORE IN Food & Dining

Onalaska's community thanksgiving dinner is quite a bit younger than La Crosse's, but if turnout for today's second annual dinner is a sign, it'll be here for a long time.
Volunteers served-up more than 750 traditional turkey dinners at the Onalaska Armory.
The event is made possible through donations and the work of volunteers.
Officials tell News 8 so many people wanted to volunteer, some of them had to be turned away.
It's evidence of our community's generosity and all the more reason to celebrate.
"We have so much to give thanks for in this community, " said Tom Brewer of the Onalaska Enhancement Foundation. "This is just a great opportunity for neighbors to get together and the entire community to get together to see some people they know and to meet some new people, and celebrate Thanksgiving together."
Brewer said the dessert table was especially popular today, thanks to the donated pies.
He also said Onalaska's Community Dinner will be back next year.

Perfect 10 at Dodger Stadium…Billingsley a perfect 5-0
What a ride we've been having at OLOCR (Dodger Stadium)!! We are a perfect 10-0 at home! and our young pitcher Billingsley is off to a great start with a perfect record of 5 wins, 0 losses!
Thursday, Jeff Weaver was called back from Triple-A! . He had to get to work right away as our young JMAC (James McDonalds) could not get out of the 2nd inning. Jeff had 4 scoreless innings with help of Matt Kemp great catches! He will take over JMAC in the rotation so Jeff will start on Tuesday. Welcome back and good luck guerito!!
Friday night I spent most of the game in the clubhouse restaurant/bar. Interesting watching the game from there. We met a season ticker holder that sits in the Reserved section. After the win and since it was Friday, we watched the fireworks from there. I think the best place to watch the fireworks though is from the Top Deck! It was Las Vegas Fireworks Night so all the music was with a Las Vegas flavor. Also during the game Nancy Bea_our organist, played Vegas related songs like "Luck Be the Lady Tonight". I found this youtube of Nancy playing "When I am 64" Ok, so I forgot how to post youtubes so here is the link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bbhZP6FVfk
The video at the end reminded me that we no longer have the Trader Joe's fan of the day. I was selcted once. They also used to give you this cool blue Hawaiian Dodger shirt and they used to send you the CD of the announcement.
Saturday night, Andre Ethier got a bases loaded single in the 10th inning! Dodgers won 2-1. Wolf pitched well but the win went to the bulpen.
Sunday Billingsley got his 5th win!!! Congratulations Billz!
Carne Asada with Andre: My friends and I headed downstairs to the terrace area in the Loge level where the event was taking place. They had Carne Asada tacos, rice beans, different cilantro with chopped onions, cheese quesadillas and different kinds of salsas. Yum!! There were mariaches and Andre Ethier posed for pictures. We also got a signed picture of Andre. Andre came with his wife Maggie, the baby and one of his brothers. Proceeds from the event benefited the Dodgers Dream foundation.
Sad News: Saturday night I found out we lost one of our "Top Deck family." Wesley was only 36. I did not know he had a rare desease. I remember one time when they showed highlights of Kirk Gibson's Homerun, he said "I still get goose bumps watching it" then he pointed to where he and his dad sat that day. My deepest condolences to his parents James & Uni who are also part of the "Top Deck Family." R.I.P. Wesley.

Well, that was a disappointing series for the Padres fans, but sounds like you had a great time! GO PADRES!!
Dodgers are hotter than a caliente red pepper right now. Keep it up!
One good, one bad. Billingsley is sick and I love him. But Jeff Weaver? He'll give you more headaches than a Bon Jovi concert. Good luck with that🙂 Ashhttp://ashleymarshall.mlblogs.com
I love your enthusiasm! Hey I still got the Padre hat if you want it. I might be there for the 4th of July games.
LOL. good analogy. Now I remember that they did not have roasted hot peppers at the Carne Asada like they had last year.
Your Dodgers are crazy Hotttttttttt at home right now. Congrats! I'm very sorry to hear about your friend. =(
~ King of Cali
Ash! LOL. I still think that Weaver will do well for us. He pitched well when we had him before. He is a local boy you know.
Cali, thanks. We still got our problems. I have a feeling Kuo is done. He had four surgeries already and two were Tommy John. Before he went into the DL, he was practicing in the bullpen while a game was in progress and only 4 balls were caught by the catcher. One ended up in the infield. Then there is JMAC who had 3 games already that he does not survive the 3rd inning. I keep thinking about Wes…
Hello Emma,
Sorry to hear about Wesley, one of the Top Deck Family. Blessings go out to his family. He was very young, God bless him.
I missed out on Andres' Carne Asada, but I'm glad you had fun. Hopefully he has another one and I really want to attend that one. Hey if you have pics to share, please do:)
Thanks Emma for sharing,
Thanks Rose. Wesley's dad is retired from the police depatment. that was his only son.
Regarding the pictures, my friends took them so I'll ask them to share with me. Dodgers can stay as hot as the weather. Thanks for everything.
OMG…that is soooo sad loosing an only son at such a young age. That just brings chills to my skin.
Well the weather should be getting hotter so that just means DODGERS WILL BE GETTING HOTTER! SIZZLING HOT! OUCH MUY CALIENTE! LOL!
You must be really happy with the hot streak the Dodgers are on, Emma. Wow. I'm not a Jeff Weaver fan, since he was a bust with the Yankees, but maybe he prefers his native soil.
Jane, Jeff seems happier now. He got married during the offseason so maybe that is why is happier and yes this is home town.
Keep on dancin Emma……What a Team!!!!
"Won't you take me to Dodgertown!
Won't you take me to Dodgertown!….."
Well girl put on your 70's outfit and get ready for some DODGER FUNK AT DODGERTOWN!
"Won't you take me to Dodgertown!
Won't you take me to Dodgertown!….."
(this would of been awsome 2 Fridays ago!)
I know! ha! Someone should rewrite the words!
Yeah…Enchanted & Eric are the talented ones for song writing. They do such a good job. I am afraid to ruined a perfect song…LOL. Imagine every Dodger Game after singing "TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME" we BREAK-IT-DOWN with some DODGERFUNK and start singing "FUNKYTOWN"…oops! "DODGERTOWN!"
Have you suggested it to Enchanted or Eric? It would be so cool to rewrite that.
I have not had a chance to update my blog. I have some work to do first.

These clever strategies from baby sleep experts will help baby — and you — get a good night's sleep.
Is baby keeping you up at night? We had Conner Herman and Kira Ryan, the owners of Manhattan-based sleep consultancy Dream Team Baby, share how to maximize baby's sleep time so that you can get some shut-eye.
Dim the Lights
Forget the nightlights — babies aren't likely to fear the dark until at least 18 months. In fact, cut out all the extra light you can.
"On a scale of one to five, five being pitch-black, your baby's room should be a four," says Herman. Get yourself an extra hour of sleep by putting vinyl blackout curtains behind decorative drapes. Light signals daytime to baby, so blocking out the sun will help keep her snoozin'. Also, scan the room for anything shiny. A CD player, baby monitor or flashing toy could catch baby's eye and wake her up, so cover those objects or turn them around. If baby's a nighttime nurser, attach a dimmer switch to a lamp and turn it on and off slowly for nighttime feedings.
Soothe With Sound
What baby hears (or doesn't) is just as important as what she does or doesn't see. Pick up a white noise machine to cancel out house noise, cars and other distracting sounds; leave it on all night. Baby will begin to associate the constant and consistent sound with sleep. Some noise machines have lullaby, ocean or other sound options, but simple white noise is fine — it'll bring baby back to being in the womb, and really, what's more soothing than memories of mommy's belly? Look for a portable machine so you'll be able to re-create the sounds of the nursery while you're away from home.
Stay Cool
Baby sleeps best when the temperature is consistent and cool.
"Most moms actually keep the nursery too warm," says Ryan. Try to keep the room temperature between 68 and 72 degrees. Putting your crib in the right spot is also essential. "Pick a location that isn't in the direct pathway of your air-conditioning or heating vents," says Herman. Sudden temperature changes will startle and disturb baby. Also, keep the crib away from windows to protect baby from drafts and outside noise.
Start Separating
Though it may go against your natural instinct, Ryan recommends putting baby in her own room for at least one nap a day from the start.
"This gets her acclimated to her room, so when it's time to move in there, it's not a total change."
A daily solo nap also helps baby and you get used to being apart — these little breaks may be tough, but they're healthy and necessary. Even if baby sleeps in your room, Herman recommends putting up a screen or partition for a little separation.
"If baby wakes up during the night and sees you, it's easy for her to rely on you to fall back asleep."
And you'll all be happy later if baby's able to put herself back to bed.
Clear the Clutter
Make sure the nursery is designated as a room for sleep. Keep the area around the crib free of toys and other fun knickknacks.
"Crib distractions confuse your baby," says Herman. "They'll make her wonder, 'Is this a playpen, or is it time to sleep?'"
Clearing the space will help your baby mentally associate the bedroom with sleeping, and other rooms with playing.
"Babies can't understand you verbally," reminds Herman. "You need to figure out how to give them other cues."

MU Study Abroad Programs
MU Study Abroad Programs
Students may study abroad through MU or Non-MU Programs. The Office of Global Education assists each student with identifying a study abroad program that best fits his or her individual needs, whether directly through an MU program or through another university provider.
Studying abroad through an MU Program means that a student will attend one of Millersville's seventeen official partner universities world-wide for a semester, year or summer. Before formally affiliating with a partner institution, Global Education extensively researches local living conditions (including safety considerations), institutional infrastructure and academic compatibility as well as explores potential collaborative areas involving the respective universities' students, faculty and staff. Prior to signing a partnership agreement, Global Education representatives conduct at least one site visit to inspect local facilities and services first-hand and to establish strong working relationships with their study abroad counterparts at the host university. This review process often takes between 18-24 months to complete.
Each MU Study Abroad Program is assigned its own program coordinator, who communicates regularly with the partner institution to ensure smooth transitions for MU students during their time away. Each program coordinator has considerable international travel and study abroad experience, and possesses significant expertise related to their host countries and universities, including having personally site visited them in most cases.
All MU Study Abroad Programs include a general and program specific pre-departure orientation. This orientation is mandatory for participants, while parents and/or other parties involved in the study abroad decision making process are also strongly encouraged to attend. In addition, students receive program-specific study abroad handbooks, visa application assistance and other pre-departure services. Another convenience of MU Study Abroad Programs is that tuition billing in most cases follows the customary Millersville billing cycle. Prices themselves can vary, with some programs charging Millersville tuition and fees and others having additional program charges.
Many MU Study Abroad Programs are also reciprocal exchanges. In a student exchange arrangement, MU students attend a partner institution and the host university in turn sends its students to spend a semester or year here at Millersville. These international students are an invaluable resource to outgoing MU study abroad participants regarding their home countries and universities, and are an important source of support and friendship to the MU students upon their arrival.
Please review the MU Study Abroad Programs on the menu bar to the left to see if there is an MU program that is right for you.

Randolph County Schools announces details of nutrition program
Randolph County is pleased to report that 14 of the 15 schools are eligible for participation in the Community Eligibility Option, or CEO, for the 2013-2014 school year in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs. The lone exception is Elkins High School, which currently does not meet the guidelines for this program. However, Randolph County will endeavor to work with Elkins High School to meet these qualifying guidelines for the next school year.
All other children in the 14 schools are eligible to receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at school at no cost. Your child will be able to participate in this meal program without having to pay a fee or submit a meal application. If the parent or guardian currently has a balance for meals in the child nutrition department it is still his/her responsibility to pay this bill.
Free and reduced price meal applications are available for Elkins High School students. For those receiving direct certification letters, please review for accuracy as this certification drives the CEO option. Free and reduced price meal applications will be sent home the first day of school with all students attending Elkins High School. If you do not receive an application, additional copies of the application are available at the county office.
The preferred method for families is to apply online at wvschoolmeals.net. Apply online anytime using an internet-enabled computer. You can complete and submit an application in minutes!
Students will obtain eligibility benefits faster. Electronic submission ensures that the completed application reaches the county office quickly. It's also secure and confidential. Simply go to wvschoolmeals.net to get started! Save time, apply online – it's that easy!
Parents or guardians of children who attend Elkins High School, wishing to apply for free or reduced price meals only need to fill out the online application or return a single application form to the Office of Child Nutrition, Randolph County Schools, 40 Eleventh Street Elkins, WV 26241. An application may be submitted at any time during the school year, but must be submitted annually for continued eligibility. The information submitted on the application is confidential information to be used only for the purpose of determining eligibility of the participant. If Section VII is checked, the information may be released to the indicated agency. School or program officials may verify information given on the application at any time during the school year.
To determine eligibility for free or reduced price benefits, the household applying for a child must provide all of the following information listed on the application: names of all household members; the last four digits of the Social Security number of the household member who signs the application or a statement that the household member does not possess one; amount and source of income received by each household member; and the signature of an adult household member certifying that the information provided is correct.
Food stamp or TANF households only have to provide the participant's name and current food stamp or TANF case number and an adult household member's signature. In certain cases, foster children are also eligible for these benefits. If a family has foster children living with them and wishes to apply for free or reduced price meals for them, the program director should be contacted.
Under the provision of the free and reduced price meal policy, the child nutrition coordinator will process applications to determine eligibility. If a parent or guardian is dissatisfied with the decision, he/she may wish to discuss the decision with the child nutrition coordinator on an informal basis. If the parent or guardian wishes to make a formal complaint, he/she may make a request in writing to Mrs. LaDonna Rosencrance 40 Eleventh Street Elkins, WV 26241 or orally by calling 304-636-9150, ext. 126 for a hearing to appeal the decision.
The effective date for free or reduced price meals will be the approval date. The approved status will not be retroactive to the first day of school or enrollment date. Please submit an application as soon as possible.
If during the school year a family member becomes unemployed or if a family size changes, the family should contact the school and/or county office to file an application. Lunch bills will be sent home after each months billing. Generally, you will receive your bill in the first 10 days of the month for the previous month. Please pay your child's bill promptly.
The charge system is designed for your convenience so that you do not need to send money on a daily basis.

Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Rub the flour, sugar and butter together until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Alternatively, you can do this in the food processor. Add enough egg to bring the mixture together to form a stiff dough.
Flour your hands and shape the dough into a tube, about 5cm in diameter. Cut into 2cm-thick slices and place on a large baking sheet. Space them out as the mixture will spread when baking.
Make a small indentation in the middle of each slice with the end of a wooden spoon, and drop a tsp of jam in the centre. Bake for 10-15 mins until slightly risen and just golden. Cool on a wire rack.

Thank you for your query. We would suggest buying an egg replacer. They are available from large supermarkets and health food shops. You could try 'Orgran no egg' for example. Egg replacer is a useful product to have in the cupboard, as you can use it in biscuits, cakes, meringues and pancakes. We hope you find this useful.
Lau24601, I apologise for asking the obvious, but are you sure that your oven was hot enough? I make these regularly (just made another batch to check your question) and they should not take 40 minutes to bake. Like others, I find the biscuits too big, so I roll mine into 1 inch balls (makes about 30, 2 inch biscuits) and at 190C they bake to golden in about 12 minutes with no soggy bottoms. The only other thing I can think is that your jam might have been too 'juicy' and the biscuit wasn't able to bake quickly? But these really are very nice, so do give them another go!
It is Easy to make those jammy biscuits and It looks Yummy. Some BiscuitTexas recipes also have that type of Taste. Thanks
This is a great recipe. Really tasty biscuits and very easy to make.
I agree with leo-in-france; don't make the roll 5cms. I made my roll approx 3cms and they came out the perfect size.
Look at my blog www.curlyscooking.co.uk to see how I did them.
Don't get me wrong, I will definitely make these again; (only smaller); but did the recipe seriously mean us to make the roll 5cm in diameter?
As an older person, more used to inches than cms, I was not too sure what 5cms diameter looked like - so I got out my ruler, and made a roll of exactly 5cms.
The biscuits turned out to be enormous! at least 6cms.
I have seen such vast biscuits in my local coffee shop - so, no wonder UK already has an obesity crisis.
I notice the biscuits in the picture look to be of a normal size for a biscuit. I'll try for that next time!
Added 50 grams of dessicated coconut and used regular flour (no raising agent), filled with lemon curd and the result was YUMMY!
Previously mentioned stickiness comes from the egg, I think there's too much of it for such a small dough. I doubled the recipe, but used only one egg and still had to add some flour to achieve firm dough - but that's baking, adjusting the recipe as the ingredients change (i.e. flour can be fresher/ older and therefore more or less moist than the one used in testing).
Regardless a tasty, quick recipe and can made out of literally nothing. Will bake again.
check this delicious jam cookies recipe at marmite et ponpon
I'm in the US and while I don't have access to caster sugar, I used superfine sugar and it worked perfectly. It took me a bit of time to figure out the measurements since everything is different. Once I finally figured everything out, this recipe was indeed very easy to make! Very yummy and super delicious! I used my blackcurrant preserves and they taste just brilliant!

Multiple Sclerosis in Children
By Health Day
A new study suggests obese girls may be at increased risk for multiple sclerosis.
Researchers in California identified 75 children, aged 2 to 18, who had been diagnosed with MS. Records of body mass index before symptoms appeared were also accessed.
The children with MS were then compared to more than 900-thousand children without the disease.
All were grouped by weight - normal, overweight, moderately obese or extremely obese.
Nearly 51-percent of the children with MS were overweight or obese, compared to 37-percent of the children who did not have MS.
The risk of developing MS was more than 1-and-half times higher for overweight girls compared to normal weight girls nearly 1-point-8 times higher in moderately obese girls- and nearly four times higher in extremely obese girls.
The same association was not found in boys.
Once considered rare in children, multiple sclerosis
has become more common, especially in teenage girls. Researchers say an increase in childhood obesity may be one cause.

My almost 5 month old has gone without pooping since Friday. Is that normal? She normally goes once/day and I noticed that on Friday she had more of a peanut butter consistency poop and then DH changed a second poop (which is very unusual) after feeding her at bedtime so I didn't see what it looked like. Wets are normal, nursing is her normal 6-8 times/day.
She doesn't seem terribly unhappy, she hasn't slept well since Friday but that's hit or miss anyway.

Trial began Monday for two men charged in what prosecutors describe as a "gangland killing" in Chinatown more than three years ago.
24-year-old Iosefa Pasene and 27-year-old Zorro Rye sat side by side in Judge Richard Pollack's courtroom. Both men are from San Francisco and both are charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of 35-year-old Joseph Peneueta in Chinatown.
It was a dramatic scene in the early morning hours of March 28, 2009 at the corner of River and Pauahi Streets. The prosecution said Rye and Pasene fired 18 shots at the victim.
"Pasene, the man with the assault rifle, runs up to the body and he straddles it," said prosecutor Rodney Veary. "He takes his rifle, he points it down and empties the clip."
Veary told the jury the shooting may be a result of a rivalry between Samoan gangs in San Francisco and at Kuhio Park Terrace in Kalihi, where the victim lived.
Veary said several eyewitnesses can place Rye and Pasene at the scene of the crime.
Defense attorney Thomas Otake challenged the prosecution's take on eyewitness accounts. Otake represents Pasene and said police responded to the scene within three minutes and all statement taken at the scene didn't point to his client.
"Not a single person that night at the scene; not a single person at the hospital; not a single person who now professes to be witnesses told the police that Iosefa fired the gun that night," said Otake.
Each side agreed that Pasene and the victim got into a confrontation shortly before the shooting. The prosecution said Pasene threatened the victim.
"And Pasene says to him, 'Where we come from we don't fight -- we shoot. And when we shoot, we kill,'" said Veary.
The defense said it was the victim who threatened Pasene and left to pick up a friend to retaliate.
The prosecution presented the jury a timeline. Witnesses place Pasene and Rye at the scene just before 4 a.m. armed with shotguns.
But Rye's defense attorney, John Schum, said his client was nowhere near the murder scene at the time of the shooting. Cell phone records and Rye's girlfriend said the 27-year-old was home at the time.
"The fact of the matter is at 4 a.m. and for the rest of the morning, Mr. Rye is in Pearl City, in his residence, in his bedroom with his girlfriend," said Schum.
The prosecution said it has video surveillance evidence of the defendants in a getaway car that was found burning in a pineapple field in Wahiawa after the shooting.
The video was shot by a task force monitoring gang activity in Hawaii.

Okay so an expectant mother friend of mine posted this link on facebook yesterday
It shows a mother who is still nursing her 8 year old daughter. I don't feel right judging anyone's decision to breastfeed, whatever works for you ya know, but i'm hoping my DS will give it up by age three or so! but anyways, my friends post caught the attention of many, as it drew many negative comments. There were a lot of "that's so disgusting" "sick" "i wonder if her husband gets jealous" and even "she should be put in jail".
However, what i was offended by were comments about how "once they get teeth it needs to stop", or "if they can ask for it then they don't need it" . I left a comment letting them know that baby led weaning and toddler nursing is completely healthy and beneficial. and also told them that the AAP was revising their statement, recommending 2 years now instead of 1. and let my friend know that the teeth arent really a problem at all! Anyways, the next comment someone left said that they "tire of hearing sanctimonious breastfeeding mothers preach about how long you need to breastfeed."
I don't know if that was directed towards me personally, but i was the only breastfeeding mom speaking out for nursing (well, besides the mother in the video)
anyways, just wanted to share this.


text: I plan to return to work in a few weeks. I've been told to give my LO a bottle around 6 weeks to get her used to a bottle. For this, I have used frozen EBM while her grandmothers were babysitting. I pumped around the same time I would have feed her. When I pump, do I pump the amount she drank during her feeding or do I pump until I am finished? I always seem to have more than she eats from a bottle. She doesn't seem to like to bottle feed and wants to have a long session once I return.

Gallons of foam unexpectedly started oozing out of a street in China, shocking commuters and passersby.
The substance, which was leaking out of a street in the city of Nanjing, covered an area of 40-50 square meters, according to a translation of news outlet Longhoo.
Officials are unsure what the substance might be and offer only that it could possibly be a byproduct of subway construction in the area.
Firefighters and police quickly cordoned off the area and washed the foam away.
