Jews of Belarus Move to Save Their Past
Major Initiative with Government will Preserve Historic Jewish Sites
Union of Religious Jewish Congregations Undertakes Bold Initiative
One of the saddest legacies of the Second World War and the post-war era is the destruction and deterioration of major buildings and sites of Jewish importance. Today in Belarus, however, the self-reliant Jewish community, led by the Union of Religious Jewish Congregations is making sure that the Nazi mission to destroy Jewish culture in East Europe does not succeed. In cooperation with the Belarussian Government and organizations and individuals in the States and Europe the Union is undertaking an ambitious plan to retrieve our heritage from the destruction and disregard of the past.
Yuri Dorn, head of the Jewish religious community and President of the Union of Religious Congregations, has been concerned about preserving his country's Jewish heritage since he was a young man. As far back as 1988, when many other Jews were afraid to affirm their faith and co-operated with the Communist regime Mr. Dorn was organizing Jewish study sessions and compiling archives and histories of Jewish buildings, cemeteries and communities. Today he is one of Belarus' leading experts in Jewish history.
"It always saddened me to see the great buildings of the Jewish past, such as the Volozhyn Yeshiva and Slonim Synagogue being used as food shops and warehouses," says Mr. Dorn. "It was if the Sistine Chapel were being used as a hot dog stand. Our past and our traditions require, cry out, for dignity and respect."
Today the dream of saving these buildings is becoming a reality. The Belarussian Government's Committee on the Preservation of Historical and Cultural Heritage in the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Belarus has endorsed the Union of Religious Jewish Congregations of the Republic of Belarus and the East European Jewish Heritage Project (UK) as organizations for the restoration of Jewish buildings, monuments and cemeteries.
Referring to past efforts working with Mr. Dorn, Dr. Dmitri S. Bubnouski, Chairman of the Committee says, "The experience of working with him proved his high organizational abilities." The Committee "appeal[s] to all whom it may concern and, first of all, to the world Jewish community to give the Union of Religious Jewish Congregations and the Jewish Revival Charitable Mission support and assistance in this noble endeavour." [The Jewish Revival Charitable Mission is the Belarussian affiliate of the East European Jewish Heritage Project].
One of the first projects undertaken by the Union is the Restoration of the Volozhyn Yeshiva, the Mother of All Yeshivas and the founding institution of the modern Yeshiva movement. The Committee has also endorsed this project specifically: "Built in 1803, the Volozhin Yeshiva is one of the best examples of spiritual centres that need revival. Many prominent people known world-wide, such as Rav Cook, and Hyam Volozhyner and many others, studied and taught there. This educational institution was the prototype and the example for important Talmud centres in Europe, Israel, the USA. . . .
"By this document we certify that in 1998 the Volozhin Yeshiva was registered on the State List of Historical and Cultural Monuments of the Republic of Belarus. The Belarusian Republican Council on the Historical and Cultural Heritage of our Committee examined and approved of the restoration design documents prepared on the initiative and paid by the Union of Religious Jewish Congregations of the Republic of Belarus and the Jewish Revival Charitable Mission.
We appeal to the world Jewish community to render support and to take part in turning this important project into life. We guarantee the State support on the part of the organizations responsible for the preservation of the historical and cultural heritage of the Republic of Belarus."
Prior to this undertaking the Yeshiva was languishing as a dilapidated 'culinaria' (food shop) dispensing sandwiches, drinks and baked goods. The Volozhyn local authority gave title of the Yeshiva to the Union last Autumn and preliminary work has begun for its restoration and return to use as a holy building.
The Slonim Synagogue is another example of the Union's initiative in salvaging and renewing the Jewish past in East Europe. Listed by the World Monument Fund as the number one site of Jewish interest in East Europe requiring restoration the building was the victim of a botched attempt at restoration in 1989. "The building looks like it was mugged." Says Franklin J. Swartz, Executive Director of the East European Jewish Heritage Project. The building, because of its value as a navigational landmark was spared by the Luftwaffe only to be used after the war as a warehouse. "The floor of the main building is now covered in a foot of rubble and bird droppings. The paintings on the wall, which were restored in 1989, are beginning to peel," according to Mr. Swartz who is overseeing the survey of the building. "Fortunately a good roof was placed on the main building several years ago and, as a result, it remains structurally sound giving us another five to six years for restoration. The outer buildings, though, were not re-roofed and will probably collapse by the Summer's end. Conservation efforts have to start now, in the next few months, or the Synagogue, in its original form, will be lost to us." Local authorities have formally endorsed the project and the EEJHP's and the Union's plans.
The local population also supports the project. "When I was photographing the building locals, non-Jews, asked me to take lots of pictures to show the world how important it was not allow the building to decay," said Mr. Swartz. "The population appreciates the importance of its Jewish heritage. Belarus, in many ways, is a unique country in East Europe. It has always been tolerant and that tradition is carried on today. Of all the former Soviet Republics it is the only one without internal or border conflicts and where there is no discrimination on the basis of nationality or religion. Both the Jewish and non-Jewish community deserve our support."
Chief Rabbi of Belarus, Rav Sender Uritsky, describes the effort for restoration as, "one of the great material achievements of the Belarussian Jewish community. It is another example of the Jews of Belarus taking the initiative."Franklin J. Swartz adds, "Working with the Religious Community is a pleasure. It insures a standard of integrity that makes it possible to deal with world-wide supporters, such as the International Survey of Jewish Monuments, the World Monument Fund and concerned individuals without qualms. In the past this region has been plagued by individuals who have viewed projects of this sort as a means of profit. The Union, on the other hand, knows the true spiritual value of these endeavours. I am completely comfortable working with them." The Union has a schedule of other major buildings and monuments to be restored in the near future.

Oracle on Thursday reaffirmed its position regarding Intel Corp's Itanium platform and responded to claims made by Intel and Hewlett-Packard about long-life ahead for the IA64. The leading business software company insists that the Itanium would cease to exist and it was Oracle's responsibility to inform its customers about the end-of-life of the platform it does not own.
"Oracle has an obligation to give our customers adequate advanced notice when Oracle discontinues development on any software product or hardware platform so our customers have the information they need to plan and manage their businesses. HP is well aware that Intel's future direction is focused on x86 and that plans to replace Itanium with x86 are already in place," a statement by Oracle reads.
Since Oracle itself sells mission-critical servers based on Sun UltraSPARC microprocessors, it is definitely has a clear financial interest not to support competing Intel Itanium platform, which is currently supported by Intel with processors and logic as well as HP, which designs HP-UX operating system and makes servers powered by IA64 central processing units.
On the other hand, Intel has been adding various mission-critical capabilities onto its Xeon EX platform. For example, Xeon 7500-series microprocessors come equipped with more than 20 reliability features, such as Machine Check Architecture (MCA) Recovery, a feature that allows the silicon to work with the operating system and virtual machine manager to recover from otherwise fatal system errors, a mechanism originally found only in the company's Intel Itanium processor family and RISC processors.
It is also true that many server makers dropped Itanium platform, including Dell and IBM and so did loads of software developers, including Microsoft and Red Hat. Even SGI reduced its focus on Itanium back in 2009.
Oracle also accused HP of misleading its customers by hiding the information about the future of Itanium.
"HP is knowingly withholding this information from our joint Itanium customers. While new versions of Oracle software will not run on Itanium, we will support existing Oracle/Itanium customers on existing Oracle products. In fact, Oracle is the last of the major software companies to stop development on Itanium," said Oracle.
The future of Itanium remains to be seen, especially without Oracle's software (which will run on variety of x86 machines and SPARC servers from Oracle and Fujitsu). At present HP and Intel claim that the Itanium's roadmap extends to more than ten years. The world's largest chipmaker also promised to reveal more details about the future of the IA64 at its Intel Developer Forum in Beijing, China, set to take place in late April, 2011.

Football program hits low
MORGANTOWN – I think it became full blown for all to see in West Virginia University's 31-19 football loss to Big 12 cellar-dweller Kansas that the Mountaineers can't get any lower, performance-wise.
And rapidly growing numbers of WVU students, alumni and just plain fans have had their fill of this 2013 season of what has been – more than not – a highly respected football program – one of which to be proud.
I thought young Dana Holgorsen, WVU's third-year coach, and his staff were outcoached all the way from Lawrence, Kan., to Morgantown.
Their players were not performing as if they had been adequately prepared for a Big 12 conference game in which WVU was a 6-point favorite for the first time this year.
You've got to give veteran Charlie Weis, Kansas' second-year coach, and his assistants a lot of credit. They started a true freshman quarterback, and the Jayhawks played very well with a variety of different plays.
Keep in mind, too, that this totally unexpected triumph snapped Kansas' 27-game losing streak in conference competition. The Jayhawks' last such win had been posted on Nov. 6, 2010.
It was the longest losing streak in NCAA history in any conference.
West Virginia, as a result of this most embarrassing defeat that I can recall, promptly ended its all-time record of 11 consecutive football bowl appearances. That's shameful because this team obviously is not deserving.
I'm told that athletic director Oliver Luck declined to discuss the sad, sad state of this current program.
Yet isn't Luck, a former Mountaineer quarterback, the "national championship dreamer," the one who hired Dana Holgorsen as the head coach some three years ago? Sadly, he did.
What's more, in doing so, Luck had the full support of President Jim Clements and the do-nothing WVU Board of Governors.
Interestingly, all of those powers-that-be are named defendants in lawsuits on various charges yet to be decided in Monongalia and Kanawha Circuit Courts.
As for Clements, it was announced a week or so ago that he had resigned to become president of Clemson University. There are already some people who hope Clements takes Luck with him.
WVU (4-7, 2-6 Big 12) now is assured of its first losing since 2001. The team completes this disastrous campaign on Saturday, Nov. 30, at home against Iowa State, the last-place occupant in the Big 12.
The Mountaineers, who gave up 31 unanswered points to Kansas, have won only six of their last 19 games. The program had averaged 10 wins a season from 2005-11.
In the last year of that wonderful run, Holgorsen went 10-3 in his first season here with the late Bill Stewart's players – not Holgorsen's recruits.
"I would guess that this would be an all-time low," Holgorsen told the media after the loss at Kansas.
A guy who has been covering WVU sports for some 70 years couldn't agree more with the beleaguered head coach.

|Republican State Board of Education Candidate is a Secessionist
|no comments
The following is an excerpt from burntorangereport.com that was written by Joseph Vogas regarding Dave Mundy, one of the Republican candidates for District 3 of the State Board of Education. District 3 includes Bee, Brooks, Duval, Gonzales, Jim Hogg, Jim Wells, Karnes, Lavaca, Live Oak, McMullen, Starr, and Wilson counties and significant parts of Bexar and Hidalgo counties. The complete article is available at http://www.burntorangereport.com/diary/14607/state-board-of-education-candidate-dave-mundy-r-thinks-youre-wrong-and-doesnt-want-your-vote .
Last week, I blogged on Burnt Orange Report about conservative activist Dave Mundy, a Republican candidate for the Texas State Board of Education who is openly calling for secession from the United States. In my posting, it was observed that Mr. Mundy responded to The Texas Freedom Network's original reporting by posting comments on their article's webpage. Burnt Orange Report invited Mr. Mundy to continue his thoughts on secession and how ever else he wanted to present himself on our webpage or our Facebook page.
Sure enough, instead of campaigning, building a coalition, and asking for votes, Mr. Mundy was found on Burnt Orange Report's Facebook page, calling our readers names instead of respectfully asking Texans for their votes.
When I asked Mr. Mundy to comment, I was hoping he would explain why he thought secession was good for Texas or why he is the best candidate to represent the third district on the State Board of Education. Instead, we, myself and you, our readers, were called bullies.
Our article was also sourced by the Facebook page of the Texas Nationalist Movement. They followed in Mr. Mundy's footsteps by saying Mr. Mundy's comments are driving us crazy. We at Burnt Orange Report are in fact crazy happy with the traffic the Texas Nationalist Movement has steered to our website last week, and we thank them for that.
Considering that the federal government pays 10% of the cost of public education in Texas, would it be a wise move to elect someone who has stated his animosity towards the federal government and would undoubtedly try his hardest to alienate relations with the federal government?

Grand jury brings charges against 29
A Marietta man accused of raping his stepson's girlfriend was one of 29 people indicted by the grand jury this week.
Timothy J. Seevers, 33, who lived on Ward Street at the time of the incident, was indicted on a first-degree felony count of rape and a third-degree felony count of sexual battery.
The charges stemmed from the same Feb. 21, 2012 event and can ultimately only be charged one way or the other, said Washington County Prosecutor Jim Schneider.
"Mr. Seevers' stepson was in jail for driving without a license and somehow Seevers ended up driving the girl home and spent the night," said Schneider
The alleged victim, a 19-year-old woman, reported going to bed fully clothed and waking up in the middle of the night with her pants pulled down and Seevers performing a sexual act on her, he said.
Testing matched DNA from Seevers' saliva to saliva gathered during from the woman's rape kit, said Schneider.
Seevers, who had just gotten out of prison on Jan. 3, is a registered tier 2 sexual offender.
After the incident he left town, garnering him another indictment for a fourth-degree felony count of failure to register a change of address as a sexually oriented offender, said Schneider.
When Seevers was apprehended in West Virginia shortly after the rape was reported, he attempted to fight the arresting officer and was ultimately convicted in West Virginia for assaulting an officer, he said.
"That year in prison is almost up and then we'll go grab him," said Schneider.
Other indictments included:
Angela D. Myers, 18, of 6950 State Route 60, Lowell, was indicted on a second-degree felony count of assault.
She is accused of stabbing her stepfather, Edward Binegar, 50, in the leg with a steak knife on Feb. 4.
According to the police, Myers and Binegar had been in a fight over household chores which escalated to Binegar hitting Myers with a broom and Myers retaliating with the knife.
Justin A. Tucker, 30, of 700 Barclay St. Lot 5, Belpre, was indicted for one first-degree felony count of trafficking in heroin, one second-degree felony count of complicity in the possession of heroin and one fifth-degree felony count of possession of cocaine.
Tucker was the passenger during an Oct. 4, 2011 traffic stop at the intersection of Ohio 7 and Tower Road in Belpre, said Washington County Assistant Prosecutor Jared Erb.
"The purpose was to arrest him for a previous parole violation. A task force agent had a K-9 who did a sniff," said Erb.
In the car were syringes, spoons, balloons, heroin and cocaine, he said.
All of the charges were elevated because Tucker was on parole, said Erb.
Tucker was also indicted for a separate incident on a third-degree felony count of complicity in tampering with evidence and a fourth-degree felony count of trafficking in heroin.
Tucker had supplied a clean urine sample to his friend, Christoper Woods, who was on probation, according to prosecutors. When arrested for that tampering charge, he was also in possession of heroin and tools commonly associated with the sale of heroin, said Erb.
Mark J. Tilton, 44, of 12622 State Route 60, Lowell, was indicted on a fourth-degree felony count of domestic violence. On Nov. 26, Tilton allegedly grabbed his wife by the hair, hit her three times and threw her into the coffee table. Tilton had a prior domestic violence conviction in December 2008, said Erb.
Keith A. Drake, 26, of 829 Ridge St., and Pebble M. Longfellow, 27 and homeless, were both indicted on two fifth-degree felony counts of forgery.
Drake stole checks from his grandmother's checkbook around Jan. 12 and forged them to Longfellow who in turn tried to cash one at Chase Bank on Muskingum Drive, said Schneider.
The bank employees grew suspicious and called Drake's grandmother, who said she had not written the check. Sensing the bank was taking too long, Drake and Longfellow left, and successfully tried the rouse in Parkersburg, he said.
There they wrote the check out to Longfellow's mother and cashed it for $450, said Schneider.
Drake was indicted on an additional fifth-degree felony count of theft from the incident for theft of the checks, he said.
For a separate occasion, Drake was indicted on one third-degree felony count of tampering with evidence and one fifth-degree felony count of theft.
On Nov. 26, he stole his father's wallet out of his vehicle, which was parked on Euclid Place, said Erb. The wallet had credit cards and cash in it, he said.
The tampering charge was a result of Drake later attempting to hide the wallet, said Erb.
Drake was indicted for a third incident on a fifth-degree felony charge of theft. On Jan. 17, Drake stole a concrete saw worth $1,200 from American Producers Supply Co. on Second Street in Marietta, said Schneider.
Tammy R. Radabaugh, 37, of 56 High St., Waterford, was indicted for trafficking in heroin, a fourth-degree felony. On Oct. 5, Radabaugh sold heroin from her home, said prosecutors. Her child was present and her residence is right across the street from Waterford High School, elevating the severity of the crime.
Molly M. Rudolph, 36, of 317 Gilman Ave. Apt. C, Marietta, was indicted on three fourth-degree felony counts of trafficking in heroin. Rudolph is accused of selling heroin in the presence of her children on Oct. 29, Nov. 5 and Nov. 19.
Kyle Sparks, 24, of 830 Ridge St., Marietta, was indicted on two fourth-degree felony counts of trafficking in heroin, one third-degree felony count of trafficking in heroin and one fifth-degree felony count of possession of drugs. All of the sales occurred in the vicinity of Marietta Middle School. One of the three included more than 10 units of heroin, elevating the crime from a fourth to third-degree felony.
Jessie M. Morrison, 35, of 407 Lord St., Marietta, was indicted on a third-degree felony count of intimidation. Morrison is accused of threatening to harm a witness in a criminal case against her two juvenile sons.
Jason Corp, 39, of 104 Grandview Ave., was indicted on a fifth-degree felony count of forgery and a fifth-degree felony count of theft. Corp allegedly stole checks from a friend he was living with while going through a divorce. He cashed one on Jan. 30 for an amount less than $100.
Jared W. Philpot, 39, of 1005 Third St., was indicted on three fifth-degree felony counts of breaking and entering, one fifth-degree felony count of criminal tools, one fifth-degree felony count of theft and one fifth-degree felony count of vandalism. Philpot allegedly broke into Ketel1 Teamwear at 111 Putnam St. on two occasions. According to prosecutors, on Dec. 27 he stole more than $1,000 worth of cash and merchandise and on Jan. 12, he damaged a toilet, effectively closing the store for a time. On Jan. 15, Philpot allegedly used a crowbar to break into Smitty's Pizza on Starlite Drive in Reno.
Wayne A. Rhodes, 24, of 4080 Newbury Road, Little Hocking, was indicted on two fifth-degree felony counts of theft. On Nov. 10, Rhodes allegedly stole a credit card and spent more than $1,000.
Jamie A. Hoy, 34, and Gerald R. Erb, 42, both of 149 Warner St., were each indicted on a third-degree felony count of attempted burglary. Hoy and Erb broke into a home along Ohio 60 in Lowell on Sept. 21, according to prosecutors.
Franklin Frye, 57, of 4250 State Route 307 Lot 72, Geneva, was indicted on a fourth-degree felony count of breach of recognizance bond. Frye failed to show up for a Jan. 28 trial for possession of drugs.
Larry E. Farley, 60, of 1195 Rhodes Road, Marietta, was indicted on a third-degree felony count of cultivation of marijuana. Farley was allegedly found growing marijuana at his residence.
Josey C. Barton, 22, of 817 Masonic Park Road Lot 10, Marietta was indicted on a third-degree felony count of illegal conveyance of weapons or prohibited items onto grounds of a detention facility. On Jan. 13, officers said they discovered Barton had swallowed a balloon containing pills before entering the Washington County Jail.
April N. Calvert, 28, last known address 325 Sandhill Road, Marietta, was indicted on four fifth-degree felony counts of theft, five fifth-degree felony counts of forgery, three fifth-degree felony counts of complicity to commit forgery, one fourth-degree felony count of identity fraud, one fourth-degree felony of safe cracking, and one first-degree misdemeanor count of theft. Calvert allegedly stole her sister's identification card and posing as her, transferred funds from her checking account and secured bank checks from the bank. Calvert later stole checks belonging to a man she was helping care for and cashed those checks under her sister's identity. She also checked into Camden Clark Medical Center under her sister's name and had her medical bills charged to her sister. All told, her sister lost around $60,000, according to prosecutors.
Joseph C. Hajj, 32, of 147 Main St., Nitro, W.Va., was indicted for a fourth-degree felony count of theft, a fourth-degree felony count of passing bad checks and a fourth-degree felony count of forgery. On Dec. 19, Hajj reportedly used a fake check to buy a $52,000 vehicle from Family Ford on Ohio 7. Hajj then allegedly drove to Tennessee and did the same thing at another dealership.

Yoho was operating a meth lab in his house, said prosecutors. When searched, he possessed more than five times the bulk amount of methamphetamine.
Chad W. Warner, 27, of 260 Greenbrier Circle, Marietta, and Trent D.

Warner and Mason were stockpiling ingredients used in the manufacture of methamphetamine, according to prosecutors.
Michael J. Farnsworth, 24, of 1421 Lancaster St. Apt. 101E, Marietta, was indicted for two second-degree felony counts of robbery. During an altercation with his ex-girlfriend, Farnsworth allegedly attempted to take control of his ex's vehicle. Backing it out of a parking space, he hit a 14-year-old pedestrian. Farnsworth's ex retrieved the key's to her vehicle while he checked on the pedestrian but he allegedly shoved her, stole the keys, and ran away.
Chris T. Fluhart, 20, of 1308 Williamson Ave., New Matamoras, and Paul W. Hendershot Jr., 21, of 40 Fourth St., New Matamoras, were both indicted for one fifth-degree felony count of breaking and entering and one fifth-degree felony count of theft. The men are accused of breaking into an unoccupied structure in New Matamoras and stealing copper piping, tubing and wiring, an alcoholic beverage and several tools from the residence.
Gregory V. Harmon, 41, of 1057 Novak Road, Grafton, was indicted on one fourth-degree felony count of receiving stolen property. On Feb. 8, Harmon was found passed out drunk in a vehicle parked at the welcome center on I-77. The vehicle was reported stolen from a dealership in Illinois.
Christopher E. Byrd, 24, of 9626 State Route 555, Cutler, was indicted on two fourth-degree felony counts of domestic violence. Byrd, who has a previous conviction for domestic violence, was accused of assaulting his mother and father during a Jan. 12 family get together in Cutler.

Reviews of this property
This is a very nice apartment that's well kept and well situated in the central parts of Berlin. There are several restaurants in the block, including a bakery just across the street where you can have a good breakfast. The hostess Romy is nice and friendly, and always easy to reach. If your keen on walking there are several places like Kurfurstendamm, Tiergarten, Potzdamer Platz, even Alexanderplatz that you can reach by foot, otherwise there's a U-bahn close-by. This is certainly an apartment that we can recommend.
My sister and I was here for 3 days, and we had the Best time. The apartment was great, Lots of space, near mitte and a very lovely host, who was helpful and always easy to contact. Thanks for a amazing stay Romy. We Will come back Soon. Hope your apartment Will be free at that time:-)
Best regards Emma and Hannah
The flat is nice, and very well located but there is a problem with cleaning. Upstairs was not clean, the bed was untidy and with dirty sheets, and the terrace was dirty.
We limited our stay downstairs. Another thing was that the shower was broken and it was very difficult to have a shower.
We had a good stay in Romy's house. It is really good located taken into account the U-Bahn lines connecting the whole city. It is a wide house.
When I arrived to the apartment it was dirty, not prepared, though I had announced with time in advance my arrival time. I had to call the owner to organize everything. After some hours she sent me a message that all was arranged but that the cleaning service forgot to put new bed cloth. She proposed me to wait one day. I refused to sleep in a used bed. So finally she arranged to put new bed cloth. The towels for the shower were small. We were 2 people and got only 2 hand towels, very small for showers. In general the carpet was dirty, I have some photos. It was my first time to use Wimdu and it was a little bit dissapointing. Regards. German
A beautiful centrally gelgene apartment in the heart of Berlin. Many attractions are within fußnah. Communication with the host was very easily and smoothly. On my next visit to Berlin, I love coming to this apartment back.
Eine schöne zentral gelgene Wohnung im Herzen Berlins. Viele Sehenswürdigkeiten sind fußnah zu erreichen. Die Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber lief sehr unkompliziert und reibungslos. Bei meinem nächsten Berlinbesuch komme ich gern auf diese Wohnung wieder zurück.
Great Central Place for a "quick run" in Berlin, Spectacular View to Potsdamer Platz from big Roof Terrace, must be super in Summer. Also quit and lots of Parking. 2 Busstop around the Corner, Tube 10 min walk, Romy gave us a friedly welcome,and present a nice Bathroom and big Kitchen. Hope u enjoy 2!

The pretty people of Homage on The Bandwagon.
Homage's recent contest in which it asked Facebook fans to vote on a name for its orange VW van got the attention of another orange thing—Danny Bonaduce. Bonaduce (and/or a Team Bonaduce staffer) blogged about the Columbus business' contest on the former child star's radio show web page. Why? Because one of the many genius names submitted by Homage fans was "Vanny Bonaduce." We loved it. So did Danny. So did voters. If only 43 more people had loved and voted for it, the name's creator would have won $500 in clothing and two tickets to the Ohio State-Nebraska game. Alas, the name placed second, losing to an equally pun-a-licious title, "The Bandwagon." Poor Danny/ Vanny. Always the bridesmaid.

What is in this article?:
- Latin America big market for U.S. grains
- Cultivated partnership for years
• President Obama's words refocus attention on a critical and long-standing North-South partnership, one engendered by geographical proximity, cultural ties, and interdependent economies.
More About:
In his recent speech from the Presidential Palace in Santiago, Chile, President Obama reminded us that the United States exports "more than three times" as much to Latin America as China, and our exports to the region are growing faster than to any other part of the world.
The President's words refocus attention on a critical and long-standing North-South partnership, one engendered by geographical proximity, cultural ties, and interdependent economies. As President Obama noted, "when Latin America is more prosperous, the United States is more prosperous."
Several of the U.S. grain industry's top export markets are in Latin America, along with several of the industry's fastest growing markets and several trade allies, whose own policies directly impact the U.S. grain and ethanol industries. The U.S. grain industry is encouraged and excited by phenomenal market share growth in Peru from barely 10 percent two years ago to more than 35 percent, a market that could exceed $300 million in sales in the next few years as U.S. market share eclipses competitors.
New grain exports to Peru create new opportunities in the United States. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack noted in a recent speech that "farm exports alone will support more than 1.1 million jobs in 2011. "Brazil, now the seventh largest economy in the world, is also an economic powerhouse with agricultural abundance distinguished as one of the few countries with generous stores of available land for agricultural production. The U.S. and Brazil's agricultural economies are intrinsically linked and our respective policy decisions will undoubtedly have mutual impact. It is critical that the U.S. grain industry cultivate this trade relationship as one of partnership, as President Obama noted, "I believe that in the Americas today, there are no senior partners and there are no junior partners, there are only equal partners."

All the hassle?
Are you wondering if you suffer from Sleep
Apnea? Do you wonder if the day-time sleepiness and night time
restlessness has a good explanation?
Nothing can take the place of seeing your
doctor to get officially diagnosed for sleep apnea, but there
is a neat trick that will tell you if it's worth the effort to
get a diagnosis.
If you were able to watch your breathing
while you sleep, it would be easy to tell if you have sleep apnea.
You'd notice repeated episodes of ceased breathing. Obviously,
you can't do that. However, when you do start breathing again,
your body does let out a quick little snort.
You can tell if this is happening. Here's
how you find out.
If you consciously request "If I wake up
with a quick snort, I will notice it," your subconscious mind
will pay attention. You'll e able to recognize the snort, even
in a half-asleep state.
I have a confession -- I too suffered from
sleep apnea. However, as a scientist and master herbalist, I knew
that there had to be a solution! I searched everywhere for a formula,
but there was nothing that worked.
I couldn't believe it, so I set out to
develop the formula myself.
Even as a master herbalist, it took a lot
of trial and error to come up with a formula that worked. I was
my own willing test subject, so I was able to keep at it.
After dozens of experiments, I finally
began to understand the problem and I discovered the right combination
of 5 synergistic herbs:
There was of course, the question of "Would
this herbal formula help any of the other 25 million other Americans
who suffer from sleep apnea?" It is a growing problem. About 1
in 10 people suffer from sleep apnea have a kind of sleep apnea
that my formula won't help. I think it's only fair to give you
a full refund in case you are one of the very few whom cannot
be helped by my formula.
By now, you should be able to see that
I am making it as easy and convenient as possible for you to try
Sleep Apnea Relief.
Try it, you'll sleep more soundly, wake
up more rested, and have less daytime sleepiness!
To Your Health,
Steven Frank
Master Herbalist
P.S. Sleep Apnea Relief is a synergistic
blend of 5 herbs that will support good sleep for people with
a tendency toward sleep apnea. An important clue that you might
suffer from sleep apnea is waking up periodically in the night
with a telltale loud snort. If that describes you, it's worth
trying a no-risk 30 day supply of Sleep Apnea.
I'm Steve Frank.
I have sleep apnea and I control it by
using Sleep Apnea Relief every night. Yup. Every night. If I forget
to take it, I get out of bed and go take it. Because I know that
I'm not going to sleep well without it. I've been
taking it for 7 years because it works. I cannot tolerate the
CPAP machine and without the Sleep Apnea Relief I would wake up
every 1 ½ minutes. A person simply can't sleep like
It was my own sleep apnea that drove me
to develop this product in the first place. I couldn't use
the CPAP and none of the products that were for sale worked. I
spent years researching the cause of sleep apnea and when I finally
came up with this combination of herbs I was absolutely delighted
with how well it works. I haven't used a CPAP since then.
I'm so sure that you're going
to love this product that I will refund the entire purchase price
of your first bottle if it doesn't meet all of your expectations.
You simply must try this product. Sweet

Know More About Why Sleep Apnea Relief™ WILL Work for You?
a More In Depth Analysis Read This Book
Sleep apnea is one of the most
common sleep disturbance problems in America. It has ruined the
sleep of an estimated 25 million Americans. This condition prevents
the sleeper from entering REM and Delta Sleep. This makes them
anxious, cantankerous, and tired during the day.
There are very serious health consequences
of prolonged sleep deprivation. Also, due to the nature of Sleep
Apnea, blood oxygen levels are lower than normal for prolonged
periods of time. This is damaging to both the brain and the heart.
Presently, this problem can be
addressed in various ways. Initially, weight loss is attempted,
as well as decreased alcohol consumption and smoking. Anyone with
a slight insight on human nature can realize how unsuccessful
this can be. Then surgery is often attempted to reduce obstruction
in the airways. This usually provides some success, but the procedure
is painful and often does not provide relief. The final solution
is to use a CPAP machine. This is a forced air mask that is worn
during sleep to insure proper inhalation.
What has continued to affect the
appropriate treatment of this condition is that none of the above
"solutions" actually addresses the cause of the problem. Being
over-weight does not cause the problem, and neither does smoking,
drinking, or sleeping on ones back. So, what does cause it?
"I couldn't stand sleeping
with my CPAP. With this stuff, I don't need it any more.
Enclosed, please find my check for 4 bottles."
-- Michael B, CA
Our bodies have numerous control
systems to regulate and maintain physiological conditions. For
example, your body's core temperature is maintained with a control
system that is always operating. The metabolism is regulated to
smoothly and continuously provide enough heat from digestion and
fat storage to maintain the desired body temperature. If the temperature
gets too high, you begin to sweat. If the temperature gets too
low, you burn more stored fat to release heat energy. This is
an example of a "proportional" control system, meaning a system
that makes continuous corrective actions proportionate to the
"error" in the system. Your respiratory system is a similar system.
As blood oxygen levels drop, your respirations become deeper and
more regular, increasing heart rate.
Another type of system in the body
is the "bi-valent system". This is a system that has two states,
either active or inactive. A good example of this system is the
gag reflex. If a foreign object advances down your throat, your
body convulsively expels it by rapid contraction of the esophagus
and stomach. This is not a response proportional to the amount
of penetration, it is an all or nothing response. You either vomit,
or you don't.
There are multiple control systems
that work actively in your body, as well as protective systems
as well. The two that I need to bring to your attention are directly
relevant to the respiration system. One is proportional and the
other is bi-valent. As previously mentioned, there is a control
system that is responsible for regulating the blood oxygen level.
It must be able to control the diaphragmatic muscles in order
to regulate the depth of respiration. This is where the trouble
When we start to fall asleep, we
move from stage one (drowsiness) into stage 2 sleep, which is
the transition stage before entering REM sleep. REM sleep (rapid
eye movement) is where we dream. Dreaming is critical to a good
night's sleep. When we enter stage two sleep , muscular activity
is inhibited. This is a function that occurs primarily to keep
the dreamer from physically acting out the movements of their
dreams, since the part of the brain that controls muscular movement
cannot tell the difference between you dreaming of walking down
the stairs and the actual action of walking down the stairs. This
muscular inhibition is very important, and is accomplished by
suppressing the movement of signals from the brain along the spine.
Unfortunately, problems develop as we age.
The first problem is that the muscles
of the soft palate become weaker, allowing it to sag.
The second problem is that communication
between the diaphragm and the brain becomes obstructed.
The result is that upon entering
stage two sleep, the muscles holding the soft palate out of the
air-way is reduced, allowing it to sag into the airway. While
this is happening, the same inhibition of muscle movement is reducing
the signals to the diaphragm on an already obstructed channel.
As a result, breathing becomes shallower and shallower because
of insufficient signal strength to the diamphragmic muscles.
This drops blood oxygen levels.
The normal proportional control cannot maintain the desired level
and a safety back-up system comes in. when the blood oxygen level
gets low enough to cause the individual to suffer physiological
damage, a bi-valent system intervenes and causes the body to make
a large and immediate inhalation. This can suck the sagging-soft
palate into the airway.
This causes the subject to awaken
with a loud snort. Respiration becomes somewhat normal again as
the sleeper escapes entry into stage two sleep. However, as they
begin to drift off to sleep again, they once again move into stage
two, the muscle palate sags, the signal to the diaphragm diminishes
and the cycle begins again. The resulting snorts usually awakens
the subject every minute or so.
"I was unable to get a
decent night's sleep all week and then the sample of your
product arrive. I slept like a baby THAT NIGHT!!. I love
this stuff!!"
-- Jason Doppler, CA
As you can see, the problem is
NOT the sagging soft palate. The problem is not the rapid inhalation
that sucks your soft palate into the airway. Additionally, the
problem is not the reduced communication with your brain.
The appropriate solution is not
to cut flesh from your pharynx or to use heavy equipment to force
air into your lungs. The appropriate solution is the accentuate
the ability of the brain to communicate with the diaphragm so
that is will maintain the proper blood oxygen level and keep the
safety systems from causing rapid inhalation.
With the problem accurately characterized,
the solution becomes obvious. Sure, it is beneficial to strength
the muscles of the soft palate, just as it is advantageous to
reduce muscular tension in the neck. Both of these things make
a noticeable improvement, however, the most dramatic impact can
be made by the administration of a few common herbs.
"It has been shown that lobeline
stimulates the respiratory center within the brain stem,
producing stronger and deeper breathing, which helps explain
why lobelia is useful for respiratory complaints."
-- Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine,
Andrew Chevallier, FNIMH
Lobelia, used in small doses, is
a respiratory stimulant. In a larger dose, it has the opposite
effect. This herb, when taken before bed, can actually increase
the level of respiration sufficiently so the blood oxygen level
does not drop to dangerous levels. Since it can have some un-settling
effect on the stomach, it should be used in conjunction with Meadowseet
to eliminate any nausea.
Thyme has traditionally been used
to enhance pleural activity and makes an excellent contribution
to maintaining sufficient respiration. To round out the combination,
Chamomile aids in relaxing and Cramp Bark helps upper trapezius
muscles to relax.
This "bouquet" of herbs relaxes
muscles that restrict nervous flow, increases drowsiness, enhances,
respiration, and protects the stomach lining. It is a wholistic,
natural solution for sleep apnea that is non-habit forming, and
no-preconditioning is required. The first night of an apnea episode
will be mitigated within 30 minutes of taking a capsule.
"I love your
sleep apnea releif capsules! I tried the CPAP machine
and felt worse with it than I did without it. I tried
your herbs and immediately noticed a difference in my
sleep. It was the most wonderful thing ever! I could sleep
all night, my husband said I didn't snore as much, and
I didn't wake up with splitting headaches. Thank you so
much for this product, it has really made a huge difference
for me and I am very grateful. You have a customer for
life! Thank you, and keep up the good work!"

Back in the Day…
Back in the day–more specifically, a week ago today–the Sox and their fans were riding high for a number of reasons:
* President Obama had just gotten the often-ignored White Sox national exposure by wearing a Sox jacket as he threw out the ceremonial first pitch at the All-Star Game.
* By mid-afternoon last Thursday, word spread that Mark Buehrle had pitched his perfect game and he ultimately became a national sensation from the evening news to Letterman to the cover of SI.
* The 5-0 victory that day, which gave the Sox a 3-out-of-4 series victory against the defending AL champion Rays, lifted the them into a virtual tie into first place with the Tigers in the AL Central.
So, all of that and some inspired play, gave Sox fans some confidence heading into Detroit and Minnesota before returning to play the red-hot Yankees and Angels at home.
But it was not to be and a week later, after a 1-6 road trip, we find ourselves in a tough situation with the brutal schedule ahead–and in third place three games back. To make matters worse, Alexei sprained his ankle last night (x-rays today) and Ozzie had some not-so-positive things to say about the state of Carlos Quentin's health.
Obviously, a respectable performance during this homestand is vital if the Sox are to stay in the race. Looking at the situation from a glass half-full perspective, I'm hoping that returning to the Cell will help and we can rise to the challenge of playing arguably the two hottest teams in the league.
1 Comment
This is awful. Not only did we go 1-6 in a KEY point in the schedule, we now have injuries to key players. I hope that the news is good on Quentin and Ramirez, but last night did not look good. We went from tied for 1st with a chance to be in 1st, to sitting in 3rd behind the stinking Twins. Now we have to play the Yankees and Angels. Ugh.
–On a positive note we don't have to face Cliff Lee as much anymore and we only have to play three more games in that blasted Metrodome EVER.

Very friendly welcome at the Interhome office in Chamonix.
Apartment very well located in the city center, clean, comfortable and with stunning views of the Mont Blanc.
Would recommend for a pleasant stay.
Accueil très sympathique à l'agence Interhome de Chamonix.
Appartement très bien situé , en centre ville ,propre , confortable et avec une vue imprenable sur la chaîne du Mont Blanc.
A recommander pour un séjour très agréable.
Yes, was really nice. Pool was great, fairly quiet location, nice staff. The whole place seemed renovated. Mini golf around the corner. Washing & Internet relatively expensive. Good mattresses, fresh towels every day + Bungalow cleaning. Many German and Dutch (nice anyway ;-)
Ja, war wirklich nett. Pool war toll, Lage recht ruhig, nettes Personal. Die ganze Anlage schien renoviert. Minigolf um die Ecke. Waschen & Internet relativ teuer. Gute Matratzen, jeden Tag frische Handtücher + Bungalowreinigung. Viele Deutsche und Holländer (trotzdem nett;-)
Very nice hotel in old stem with a beautiful facility and large pool.
However, you have to buy WiFi for 3 € a day and then it does not work right times, presumably due to poor performance. Also on TV be without you, unless one is willing to pay € 6 per day.
In my view, not up to date.
The path to the beach (large, spacious and great) is 1 km, but a large Superarkt offers a direct route, so you can combine beach and shopping well.
Sehr schöne Unterkunft im alten Stiel mit schöner Anlage und grossem Pool.
Allerdings muss man WLan für 3 € am Tag kaufen und dann funktioniert es nicht mal richtig, vermutlich wegen zu schwacher Leistung. Auch auf einen Fernseher muss man verzichten, es sei denn man ist gewillt 6 € am Tag zu bezahlen.
Aus meiner Sicht nicht zeitgemäß.
Der Weg zum Strand (groß, weitläufig und toll) beträgt 1 km, aber ein grosser Superarkt liegt auf direktem Weg, so dass man Strand und Einkauf gut verbinden kann.
Located in central Supetar with walking distance to beaches and the ferry, this accommodation is a perfect hub for a Brac vacation.
The view from the terrace is scenic with a clear view of Split from the other side of the strait. The beds are comfortable and not as hard as a lot of beds are in these kind of accomodations. The kitchen, though small, works well to cook in. We cooked one meal a day here for almost two weeks without getting swamped. The host is nice and very helpful and sometimes unexpectedly gave us treats such as fresh lemonade or home baked cookies. We traveled with a 1 1\2 year old, which worked really well here, she had a crib of her own and loved both the host and the house cat!
All great, would put only two drawbacks, 1- have no wifi in the apartments, and 2 pans of coocina, impossible to cook in them :( peegaa everything. Otherwise everything perfect.
Todo genial, solo le pondria dos inconvenientes, 1- no tienen wifi en los apartamentos, y 2- las sartenes de la coocina, imposible cocinar en ellas :( todo se peegaa. Por lo demas todo perfecto.
Price quality is correct. Cottages are spacious and the host is nice. Our family liked it very much.
It was a very nice property. What we have experienced as very pleasant was the "protection" of everything. The private car park was only accessible by opening the gate with a remote control. The building was protected by a passcode. The apartment itself was perhaps slightly on the small side for four people, but if one goes to the beach every day and heading out is also doing well. For the two of us it was ideal. The beach was only a few minutes walk and also very fine. Small errands you do a few meters away but larger supermarkets are also nearby. All in all a very pleasant stay.
Het was een erg fijne accommodatie. Wat we als erg prettig ervaren hebben was de "beveiliging" van alles. De privé parkeerplaats was enkel toegankelijk door de poort te openen met een afstandsbediening. Het gebouw was beveiligd met een toegangscode. Het appartementje zelf was misschien iets aan de kleine kant voor 4 mensen, maar wanneer men elke dag naar het strand gaat en erop uit trekt is dat ook goed te doen. Voor ons met zijn tweeën was het ideaal. Het strand was maar enkele minuutjes lopen en ook erg fijn. Kleine boodschapjes doe je op enkele meters afstand maar grotere supermarkten zijn ook niet ver. Al met al een heel aangenaam verblijf.
Few were the times when I did not want to leave the apartment where he was staying ... The feeling you get at The Scivitella is exactly this! I went there with my husband, the first time to the Amalfi and we loved it! The apartment Lauro and the entire hotel was built with attention to every detail! The view that you could enjoy from the large terrace of our apartment was breathtaking ... The kindness of the owners (Rosella and her son Valerio) has done with that we felt immediately at home, a wonderful welcome and priceless! The path between the parking and lodging was not close, but we gave landscapes nothing short of heavenly! The center is easily reachable by car or by the bus. It is so worth it! We will definitely return!
Poche sono state le volte in cui non volevo lasciare l'appartamento dove soggiornavo... La sensazione che si prova presso La Scivitella è esattamente questa! Ci sono andata con mio marito, la prima volta agli Amalfi e ci siamo trovati benissimo! L'appartamento Lauro e tutta la struttura è stata costruita e curata nei minimi dettagli! Il panorama che si poteva godere dalla grande terrazza del nostro appartamento era mozza fiato... La gentilezza dei proprietari (Rosella e suo figlio Valerio) ha fatto con cui ci sentissimo subito a casa, un'accoglienza meravigliosa e impagabile! Il percorso tra il parcheggio e l'alloggio non era vicinissimo, ma ci ha regalato paesaggi a dir poco paradisiaci! Il centro è facilmente raggiungibile sia con la macchina che con il pulmino. Ne è valsa veramente la pena! Ci ritorneremo sicuramente!
Nice, cozy and clean apartment. The farm is well located and there is thus an ideal starting point for hikes and excursions. We were there with dogs and even that was not a problem, the owners have even two cute dogs in the yard.
Super value for money.
Schöne, gemütliche und saubere Ferienwohnung. Der Bauernhof ist gut gelegen und man hat dadurch einen idealen Ausgangspunkt für Wanderungen und Ausflüge. Wir waren mit Hund da und auch das war kein Problem, die Besitzer haben selbst zwei nette Hunde auf dem Hof.
Super Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.
Great stay, beautiful apartment spacious and bright. Only bad thing is the final cleaning seems excessive to ask € 15,00 per person considering we were 6 people with 2 children and 2 girls. I requested information prior to booking, but obviously I have not received any response message.
Soggiorno fantastico, appartamento bellissimo spazioso e luminoso. Unica cosa negativa è la pulizia finale mi sembra eccessivo chiedere € 15,00 a persona considerando che eravamo 6 persone con 2 bambini e 2 ragazze. Avevo chiesto informazioni prima della prenotazione, ma ovviamente non ho ricevuto alcun messaggio di risposta.

"There is one jewel for my poor soul, in a life which desires not sin; it is the beads... Suitable are these for a gift; bits of the tree of Him Who redeemed us."
~ Gitto'r Glyn, Welsh poet; opening lines from his "popish" Cywydd y paderau prennau (Ode to the Wooden Beads); secretly circulated among private Catholic homes in Wales during the English persecutions, when possession meant a death sentence.

We did not get our garden in this year because 1) Bil was just getting out of the hospital when it was time to till it and 2) we are putting in a new driveway to the barn and guess where it runs. Yep, right through the garden. So next year we will have to start all over in prepping the soil somewhere else.
For the last few years we had corn, purple-hull peas, squash, zucchini, okra, tomatoes, green beans, red potatoes, cucumbers, and watermelon, one of which weighed 27 lbs. Since I'm the only one in our house who eats these vegetables, a large portion of our garden was given away to friends, if they wanted them or not, and that was the most fun part about having the garden.
I was consoling myself for the lack of a garden by saying, well at least we will have peaches. Several of our peach trees are loaded. But the other day, when I went to check on them, one whole tree was stripped bare and about 50 peach pits were lying on the ground picked completely clean. I was very upset, to say the least, as the culprit chose the tree that produced the best peaches. People have told us it was coons or even squirrels. I hope they got a very bad tummy ache from their adventure.
Following are some recipes for you to try if you do happen to have a garden. If you don't, you can always go to the Farmer's Market that is held in front of the chamber office every Friday morning to pick up some good homegrown produce. .
My Icebox Pickles
(Here is my pickle recipe for those of you who have been so kind as to ask for it. I can eat a jar a week all by myself, if I don't watch it. These are very tasty along side a good
• 1½ cups vinegar (I like apple cider)
• 1 cup sugar
• dash of salt
• 1 tbsp. mustard seed
• 1 tsp. celery seed
• 1 tsp. Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce
Other ingredients:
• small cucumbers (sliced)
• sweet onion (sliced) optional.
• Put the brine ingredients in a small sauce pan.
• Heat to boiling, then remove from heat and set aside while you prepare the cucumbers and onions.
• Slice up some cucumbers and onions, if using, and put them in a quart jar (you do not have to fill the whole jar).
• Pour brine with all the seeds over them. If there is not enough liquid to cover the cucumbers, make another batch of brine.
• Put a lid on the jar and refrigerate. These are ready after 5-6 hours of chilling time, but best the next day.
Cook's Notes: For best results, get the mini-cucumbers at Sam's. They come in a bag of about 16-18 in the vegetable cooler there. The big ole green salad cucumbers in the store are not good for this. When I had a garden, I grew Thai cucumbers for these pickles, but the ones at Sam's work just as well. Use any small, thin skinned cucumber. Sriracha Sauce is found in the Oriental section of H-E-B. It comes in a squeeze bottle with a green top. The mustard seed and celery seed I get from the spice man that comes to Market Days. He has big jars of them for the price of what you would pay at H-E-B for just a few tablespoons. You can adjust the brine to your liking.
Cold Yellow Squash Soup
(From Patsy Light who says she makes this yellow squash soup several times a month. I'm definitely picking up some squash to give this a try this week.)
• Sauté 1/3 -1/2 cup chopped onion in 3 tbsps. of olive oil until transparent.
• Add 3-4 cups Swanson's low sodium, non-fat chicken broth and 4 cut-up yellow squash (I cut the squash in length-wise quarters, and then cross-wise in small chunks).The amount of broth used is dependent on the amount of squash - less broth makes a thicker soup.
• Cook until squash is very tender.
• Remove from heat and let cool.
• Blend in batches in blender or food processor until smooth.
• At this point, add seasonings of your choice. Some people like a little nutmeg, I like Italian herb seasoning.
• Thin with a little more chicken broth, if needed
• Chill until very cold.
Cook's Notes: My husband puts a drop or two of Tabasco in his when it's served (which makes up for the lack of salt). Serves 4-6, depending on size of serving. This recipe also works well with zucchini.
My Creamed Corn
(For Linda S. who asked for this recipe several years ago. I make this when we have a large group of company over for supper.)
• Cut the kernels off 16-18 ears of sweet corn with a sharp knife or corn stripper. Be sure to go back over the ears and scrap out the "milk" with the back of your knife. You want as much of the creamy stuff as you can get.
• In a large skillet, melt one stick of butter.
• Add the corn and 3-4 tbsps. of water, just to get the corn cooking and to keep it from sticking.
• Once it is going good, add some half and half, maybe ½ cup.
• Keep cooking and stirring.
• As the half and half reduces, add a bit more until it all comes out creamy.
• Add 2 tsp. of sugar.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Cook until corn is tender.
Zucchini Bread
(From the late Getty Mayer of Victoria who gave my Mom this recipe decades ago. This is the only way my husband will eat zucchini. This bread has a nice texture that slices cleanly. Makes 2 loaves.)
• 3 eggs (I used extra large as that is what I had)
• 1 cup vegetable oil (I used Canola)
• 2 cups sugar
• 3 tsp. vanilla
• 2 cups grated zucchini, drained (about 2 large)
• 3 cups + 2 tsp. flour
• 3 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts
• Beat eggs.
• Add oil, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and salt.
• Mix well. Then add baking powder, soda and flour.
• Mix until combined.
• Add zucchini and nuts.
• Pour into two greased/floured loaf pans (I just lined mine with parchment paper and sprayed the paper with Pam).
• Let stand 15 minutes.
• Bake at 325 for 1 hour or until done (mine took 1 hr. and 10 minutes).
• Cool in pans 10 minutes before removing onto a cooling rack.
Cook's Notes: I cut my zucchini in half and removed the seeds before cutting them up. Then I put the chunks in the food processor and ground them up pretty fine. Then I put the zucchini pulp into a fine strainer over a bowl and let it drain out the liquid while I mixed up the batter.

You may have noticed a wave of spittle flecked screaming directed at Facebook last week, or to be more accurate another wave of spittle flecked screaming. For a company with such a widely used and enjoyed product, it's remarkable how much hate gets directed at Facebook. As an example, here's a list of all the Facebook groups that I'm currently a member of: "We hate Facebook's new Redesign." "We hate Facebook's new redesign and still hate their old redesign." "Petition for Facebook to go back to Redesign #4." "Group that swears to ritualistically murder Facebook executives until "is" gets removed from status updates." "People who are ok about this redesign." "People who fucking hate hearing about Farmville" "I enjoy Dairy Queen." The latest round of hate started last week when Facebook explained that, in cooperation with a number of other companies, they would begin embedding Facebook buttons in as many pages as possible across the Internet. If you look carefully (like say anywhere on this page) you'll probably see some examples. Using these new tools you'll be able to signal your approval of pages, products, pictures of obese cats or any other damn thing on the Internet you care to endorse. In theory this will usher in a new era of social networking, where we can share our activities and interests from across the Internet with our friends, who are presumed to give a flying damn. Predictably this has pissed people off immensely, and caused the usual rending of hair and garments, as people lament our ever decreasing privacy. What's the big deal a person might ask rhetorically? Well, all this information about your likes and dislikes and products you enjoy would be controlled by a company who doesn't have any particular interest in your privacy, at least not more than they have an interest in making a crap-dump worth of money. Is it safe to trust Facebook and all these other companies with this information? To find out more about how these privacy concerns could play out in the future, I turned to the phone book, where I got in touch with Toby the Seer. As an AARF-certified futurist, Toby was uniquely qualified to peer through the mists of time to see what this new Facebooked future would look like, and in exchange for three cans of MGD still hanging on the yoke, he did just that: _________ Personalized Ads One of the first effects we'll see are advertisements that are targeted specifically at us. Obviously we're already tolerant of some targeted advertising. Nobody objects to seeing ads for golf balls in Golf Digest, or scratch card samples of Axe Bodyspray in Moron's Quarterly. But with the detailed knowledge of your likes and dislikes, these new generation of ads will be uncomfortably specific. Changed your relationship status to single recently? Then you'll start getting ads from Häagen-Dazs. Or maybe you're a big NFL fan, and now you'll see ads of Peyton Manning selling you every damn thing they can set down in front of him. Read a Cracked article but didn't click Like? Get ready for some fucking death threats. _________ Dynamically Generated Pepsi Related News As would be expected, media organizations will be among the first to sign on to this program, hungry for the traffic that Facebook's tools could send their way. And with this integration, expect these companies to know a lot more about you, and even customize content specifically to meet your presumed needs. Within a couple years, if you're visiting a major news site, and it finds out you're a fan of Moveon.org, then you're going to get more left-slanted articles showing up on the front page when you visit that site. (You know, all the latest information on granola.) Regular viewer of American Idol? Then every piece of content will be rendered in shorter words. Twilight fan? Sparkle fonts. _________ Blackmail Here's where it gets scary. Whether it's a rogue employee acting alone, or Disney just not giving a shit any more, what's to stop any of these people from blackmailing you with your personal info? Corporations tinkered with bankruptcy laws a few years back, and by 2018 they'll have done the same thing with blackmail laws. Let's say a series of pictures show up of you knocking a child off the quarter-operated plane ride in front of a Taco Bell and then drunkenly riding it while laughing at their tears and waving a cowboy hat around. We've all done that a couple times in our life, and it would be unjust to have that brought up during job interviews or sentencing hearings or first dates. And maybe no one ever needs to find out about it if we keep buying three chalupas a week if you know what Taco Bell is saying. _________ Videos of you on the toilet sold as ringtones. By 2022, we'll all have computers in nearly every room of our house and will all own cell phones with two or three cameras in them. You will never not be on camera. Also by 2018, America will go just poo-crazy, and amongst other unspeakable things, pictures of unsuspecting people on the toilet taken by invasive Facebook apps will be actively sold as ringtones by companies like Slate - which by that point will have changed business models a bit. _________ Doppelganger Madness In the future, with volumes of information about individuals readily available and ever advancing robot technology, replacing someone with a doppelganger will be a real possibility. These clones/cyborgs/mechanical men will know everything that a person ever purchased or enjoyed, and be able to emulate their behavior accordingly, only now in a manner that's more acceptable to their corporate masters. Here's a conversation which is guaranteed to happen in 2030: Husband: -lovemaking- Oh wow. That was amazing. I love you honey. Wife: I love you too dear. Did you know that right now at Lowe's, a DEWALT 10" 20-Amp Miter saw is on sale for only $549.00? Husband: I didn't, no. Wife: Mmm. Maybe this is the year to rebuild the deck. Husband: Yes. Yes. Maybe. –swallows, breaks out in cold sweat.- Yes. -Puts head on pillow, starts crying, never stops.- _________ Immersive Reality Generated by Malevolent AI programs This one should be conceptually familiar to everyone who saw the popular 1990s hacker movie, The Net.
Eventually we'll reach a point where we spend so much time online that it will simply be easier for the corporations of the day to do away with the doppelgangers and fake reality itself. One morning we'll log online and, without realizing it, never log out again. With all of our likes and dislikes neatly cataloged, it will then be trivial for the computer hive minds of the latter half of this century to craft a world perfectly suited to amuse us, while still encouraging us to consume. Imagine an endless Wal-Mart on a beach full of IKEA furniture and explicit pornography, and you just have to think Vitamin Water and BAM, you've ordered a case of it, and oh god, don't think about Hamburglar blowjob, don't think about Hamburglar blowjob, don't think about.... _________ The Dark Ages 2: Dark Harder As Sandra Bullock's character observed in The Net, "Human beings define their reality through suffering and misery." The perfect world created by the machines will eventually crumble, sending the economy and all of mankind crashing to the ground. Eventually the thinkers of this new age will piece together what happened, and vow to never make the same mistakes again. All social networking will be outlawed, and the founder of Facebook denounced as the evilest of men:
I know it's a good column when I can get a picture of Dirk Benedict in there. _________

Not adding Curry to the mix?
OK. it's practically Feb. so why not start a thread where we can post all the trade rumors/scenarios that arise from now until the TD passes.
These can be rumors we hear or, or read about, or these can be scenarios we imagine or envision.
Obviously, this will be a Melo-centric thread. So, let's post all Carmelo-related intel here as well. This way we wont have to post the same thing in different thread, or keep regurgitating the same logic/reasoning over-&-over again for each individual-particular piece/tidbit of news.
I'll start it off... Saw this on theknicksblog.com, via ESPN:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
"The Kings, sources say, are open to moving big man [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] during the next 27 days before the deadline, but they remain unwilling to take back anything other than expiring contracts to preserve maximum flexibility on the other side of a new collective bargaining agreement ... unless someone wants to donate a star. With Dalembert possessing an expiring contract valued at $13.4 million, it's not easy to find a match that keeps the Kings in the same cap position as they are now. As previously stated in this cyberspace, Sacramento's willingness to part with coveted swingman [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] is contingent largely on the other team's willingness to take back one of the Kings' two longer-term contracts ([Only registered and activated users can see links. ] or [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]) as part of the exchange.
Although the volume on the [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] trade talks has been dialed way down since New Jersey's Mikhail Prokhorov announced last week that the Nets were pulling out of the Melo Sweepstakes, I continue to hear that (A) Denver does not want to wait until the week of the Feb. 24 deadline to make a deal to avoid having to scramble at the last minute if nothing can be worked out with Melo's first-choice team in New York, and (B) Nuggets officials don't see Anthony's repeated statements of concern about failing to sign an extension before this summer's anticipated lockout as a sign of hope that they can still convince him to stay. Sources say that the Nuggets know that an about-face from Melo on signing the extension, after months of balking since it was presented last June before the 2010 NBA draft, would be purely about money and likely stick them with an unhappy franchise player who still wanted out. As much as the Nuggets would love to believe that Melo might look at his remaining options in these final three-plus weeks before the deadline and suddenly declare that Denver actually is the best place for him to be, they certainly don't expect that to happen after months of Melo refusing to see it that way."
I-N-T-E-R-E-S-T-I-N-G how they combine the SAC rumor with the 'Melo update. Makes you wonder if a possibly 3-way deal might be in the works.
You can get creative and find ways (I did a few successful deals on ESPN trade machine)... where the Knicks get Carmelo Anthony, Beno Udrih and a center (Jason Thompson or Samuel Dalembert).
SAC gets Wilson Chandler. They get cap relief (dump Beno's salary).
DEN gets draft picks. They get Casspi, Walker, Randolph, Dalembert or Thompson and draft picks.
Knicks would keep Fields-Gallo-Williams and maybe even Douglas. Some scenarios have us keeping Turiaf or Mozgov.
Udrih, Gallo, Williams, Douglas & Turiaf or Mozgov
I think this is a championship caliber squad.
<!-- end mod -->
The Knicks have already paid half of Eddy Curry's 2010-2011 salary, a fact that could provide a team acquiring him significant savings and greatly boost his contract's trade value.
If traded today, Curry would be owed a little over $7 million by the team acquiring him, after adding in a trade kicker.
If Curry was traded just before the February deadline, the unpaid compensation on his contract would decline to less than $3 million and his trade kicker would decline to about $600,000.
-Fats Curry straight up for Dalembert.
-Send them Rautins just to get rid of him and pay PEJ Rautin's salary equivalent.
-Forget Udrih. Way too expensive for a Felton lite.
-Randolph to Minny for a future pick.
All works out under the cap.
Biggest, titty havingest turd in NYK history is gone, add a top defender,
Or plan B:
Very unlikely. Donnie digs back in with Indiana.
Best viewed in below link.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Knicks - Pacers trade.
Incoming - Knicks.
Roy Hibbert
TJ Ford
Jeff Foster
D Jones
Outgoing - Pacers
Add a PG and 2 centers. Ford expiring/has declined significantly - NY revival?. Lose Chandler and Douglas which hurts but address position needs. Indiana save money on Curry, get coveted Randolph, keep pick.
Pacers president Larry Bird is itching to make a deal as his future in the team's front office remains undecided.
The team has a host of expiring contracts, which are attractive on the trade market, and they are in the midst of a slump.
Bird says his preference is to use the team's expiring contracts to acquire a key player before the Feb. 24 trade deadline.
"I would do that," Bird said.
"I've got my draft choice (a 2011 first-round pick). The thing I always say is, 'Do you save it and see what the rules are (under a new collective bargaining agreement) or do you use it?' But, if get that opportunity, I'm going to use it (by the trade deadline). ... Do you wait or do you do it? I've made my mind up and I've talked to (Pacers owner Herb) Simon about it, and I've told him what I want to do, if we can get a good player."
Mike Dunleavy ($10.56 million), T.J. Ford ($8.5 million) and Jeff Foster ($6.66 million) have significant expiring deals.
Bird added that he really hasn't thought about shopping Danny Granger.
"Danny's one of our integral parts," Bird said. "I don't really talk about Danny (in possible) trades. We'd like to add to him, try to get him some help. ... Danny's been been a good soldier. He knows what we're doing. We'd rather add to him."
I don't think Hibbert is a good fit. Not in MD's offense.
I only mention bringing Beno Udrih here for 2 reasons:
1) THE MAIN REASON, SAC will dangle Omri Casspi if somebody is willing to take a bad contract (Udrih or Garcia). They want to clear some cap space. SAC is also looking for a SF type. They have money to spend, and with Evans-Cousins and CALI... They could keep Chandler. Something DEN wont be able to do (so Wilson not really going to help us get Carmelo).
2) Casspi is a player Walsh likes. For example, say we have to trade Gallo to get Carmelo, then Casspi is a piece we could bring in. OR, say DEN doesn't want Gallo or Chandler, maybe they do like Casspi? We need a backup PG. Udrih would fit that role and only hurt our cap space for 1 year. Both Beno & Felton would be off the books when Deron & Paul are free agents.
I think the best thing would be to simply swap Eddy's expring contract for Dalembert. He would help us a lot in the playoffs. MIght be the difference in winning/losing the 1st round.
Anthony is the big target. Gutting the team will hurt if it comes to that, but if we can keep either Fields or Gallo, and then bring in Casspi, Beno & either Jason Thompson or Samuel Dalembert.... We should be fine.
Azzy is still bad
Melo is blaming the Nets for pulling the plug on the big 3 team deal
Randolph is def going to be traded
Fields is our best trade chip, sad to say since i love the guy no homo
Odds are the guys that will be traded for melo are so: Randolph, Azzy, Chandler, Fields, Mozgov, Mason, Shawn Williams
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
For now, having said that, I'd stick with the following:
-Fats Curry straight up for Dalembert.
-Send them Rautins just to get rid of him and pay PEJ Rautin's salary equivalent.
-Forget Udrih. Way too expensive for a Felton lite.
-Randolph to Minny for a future pick.
But add Douglas in to the mix and propose for the addition of Telfair from Minny.
Have a 5 and a bench of:
Felton - Telfair
Fields - Walker - Azubuike eventually.
Gallo - Wil (or vice versa) PEJ
Amar'e - Williams - PEJ
Dalembert - Mozgov - Turiaf in no particular order.
Mason and a minimum contract to fit league minimum 15 man roster.
-Hit the playoffs with a very big line up and complete bench to take on either Chicago or Miami.
-Hit the offseason with a pick and enough cap to go after Melo 'the right way'.
- Pursue a new back up PG if necessary. Suns' Dragic for instance. Utah's Ronnie Price maybe?
- Pursue Marc Gasol, Deandre Jordan at C.
-Probably lose Chandler to a better offer. Assuming.
Have a line up somewhere along the lines of:
Felton - Dragic
Fields - Walker - Azubuike - ?
Melo - Gallo > not too sure if that'd work.
STAT - Williams maybe?
Gasol(?) Jordan(?) - The Gov - Ronny T for cheap.
Curry for Dalembert straight up (see my thread about this a month ago)
AR for a Minny 1st round Pick
Tariaf (now expendable with the arrival of Dalembert) for their trade exception and a 1st rounder
gives us 20 million in cap space this off season with 2 first round picks for future trades.
Improves our future without sacraficing our current playoff chance/position.
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
I might get stick for this, but I think it would be smart to trade Felton now while he is producing some nice stats in our offense. He's been playing well for most of the season so far, but I think this guy is a bit of an overachiever. I'm not impressed with his play since that Laker game.
His field goal % is ugly and his defence sucks. Every PG in the league can easily drive by Raymond it seems.
I say use his trade value as long as it's there. Then do everything possible to land either Chris Paul or Deron Williams in the summer.
Add Melo as a free agent and we're ready to go on a run.
Paul or Williams
S. Wiliams
new signing (PF)
new signing (SG)
Billboard of Carmelo taken w/ my cell phone on 4/10/11 on 33rd street right by the Garden
if we can get dalembert for curry, i would do it...but sac will want something else...
i know they will save a lil money but they might want a rautins..which i would do
if we can get turiaf off the cap for a pick..then i would do it ..
id run with tmoz and dalembert
melo is the key pickup if we can pull it off..
it will cost us fields, walker (denver likes him too), AR and/or turiaf pick, curry, gallo, future 1st, 2nd rounder or two
denver will send us melo and balkman.. even thought they want us to take back harrington.. no way
felton 7.5 mil
stat 18.2 mil
melo 18.5 mil
tmoz 2.5 mil
TD 1.1 mil
balkman 1.7
we would have about 10 mil in cap space for 2011..we can improve from there
[QUOTE=galloisking;154314][Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
in this trade we would get a back up pg, a role player, a young solid center and melo
the nuggets would also get both the clippers and the twolves 1st rounders[/QUOT
Why would Denver ever do this trade? In your scenario Denver has the best chip but gets the worst return.
Get a new owner!!!
Here's one I did for fun but would love to see happen..... Again, I think it is somewhat realistic but it is just a wishful trade.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
In this scenario we send Raymond Felton to Pheonix with Azzy'x contract (salary) for Nash.
I think Felton for a 37 year old PG is a great deal for a team that would be looking to replenish that position. Felton gives them a viable PG to sell to the fans and the Knicks get a Star in Nash who already knows D'Antoni's system, only has 2 years left on his contract which drops off right when Paul is available.
Ibaka would be a great fit in our system and is that defensive minded guy that Amare needs flanking him in the paint. Ibaka is not an offensive threat but can clean up the boards, dropin a dunk on a put back and block shots. Harden is a combo guard that can hit a 3, defend and run... Both these guys are athletic so we do not lose our ability to run and they are not the first or second scoring option but can hit a shot when needed (especially Harden). Ibaka is a 4 and is physically identical to Amare so these guys would be the most athletic 5/4 combo in the league. If Mozgov has truly taken the next step and can grasp the NBA game, he would be perfect to come off the bench and to start against the 2 or 3 Centers that really trouble STAT... Zydrunas Ilgauskas is one that comes to mind....
Oklahoma gets back Hibbert, a 7 footer that can score and defend. With Hibbert, nenad krstic could go back to the 4, his natural position, and they would have 2 guys over 7 feet at the 5/4 spot. Gallo, a 3 point shooting big man off the bench that would be a spot on fit in their system; Gallo could literally be dropped right into that lineup like he has been part of it for years. He can play the 3/4 and 2 in their system .. a replacement for Harden in Douglas that is scrappy, can score and defend and a player in Walker that is a 3/2 that can give them a solid 10 minutes off the bench. He can score and defend...
Indiana get Chandler, Curry and Randolph for Granger and Hibbert... Granger give us almost everything Chandler has (Chandler is a slight more athletic) but much more consistent. He also has the range of Gallo so he would be replacing Gallo's 3 point threat. He has the ability to take over a game, like STAT but is a great team player. When STAT sits... Granger can become the scoring threat. When they are both on the court, you would have to double team both and that would leave the other players with wide open shots!
Indiana gets a player in Chandler that they can sell to the fans. Chandler plays the same position(s) and is young a very athletic.... They covet Randolph, so they get him and who knows with the right organization, maybe Randolph really flourishes and becomes everything that is expected from him... maybe he's a bust but for a organization rebuilding... he's worth it. They get the salary relief from Curry's contract that will give them added flexibility this off season...
Harden - 2/1
Moz - 5
Turiaf - 4/5
Williams - 3/4
Mason - 2
I like this team!!!
Get a new owner!!!
