A 27-year-old homeless man was arrested Friday morning after causing a disturbance and resisting arrest at a downtown coffee shop, according to a police report.
Kevin E. Kieren, 27, was asked to leave Michaelangelo's coffee shop on the 100 block of State Street around 7 a.m. after urinating on a chair inside the shop, according to a report.
According to a report from Madison police, Kieren proceeded to urinate on the floor after being asked to leave. He eventually exited through the front door, but tried to re-enter the building through the back door after officers arrived on the scene.
While officers were attempting to arrest Kieren, he reached for one of the officer's guns forcing the other officer to use a Taser on Kieren, which was not effective.
The coffee shop manager then helped officers hold Kieren down before he was taken into custody.
Kieren was arrested for attempting to disarm an officer, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and violating parole.

'Myths of rape should be dispelled': Ontario Court Justice Zuker
"The myths of rape should be dispelled once and for all," he announced near the long-awaited end of his verdict. "It doesn't matter if the victim was drinking, out at night alone, sexually exploited, on a date with the perpetrator, or how the victim was dressed. No one asks to be raped." He underlined that last line, literally.

Guerrilla art group hacks dozens of Astral info pillars. The city's new, redesigned info pillars that have been rapidly popping up around Toronto have made plenty of enemies: road users claim the large, flat sides block sight lines, pedestrians say their positioning blocks sidewalks, and many others are concerned about the large amount of space given over to advertisers. A team of artists, cARTographyTO, hacked into roughly 35 of the signs' ad spaces over the weekend and installed maps, artwork and other visual displays.
The history of Toronto in photos is 90 some odd posts linked to provide a thematically organized visual overview. The vast majority of the photographs featured derive from the Toronto Archives.

Former Ontario Attorney General Michael Bryant involved in death of Toronto cyclist
Late last night, a cyclist was killed in Toronto. "Ontario's former attorney general Michael Bryant ... will be charged with criminal negligence causing death and dangerous driving causing death, a police source tells the Globe, after a collision left a 33-year-old cyclist dead." Accounts vary, but the sequence appears to be 1) Some collision and argument between the cyclist and the driver; 2) The cyclist grabs the driver's door and hangs on (or he may have been caught on the car accidentally) while the Saab convertible drives on; 3) The car drives into the opposite lane, across a construction zone, and the cyclist is battered against mailboxes and light posts; 4) The cyclist falls under the car's back wheels and is killed.

DeLorean out of gas? Try the Toronto Archives....
From Muddy York to the Toronto of today.... My search to discover the exact age of the house I recently bought led me to the fabulous Toronto Archives. Even if you don't have the good fortune to live in Toronto and so have the ability to visit the Archives to take a free tour and check out their massive holdings, they have a whack of stuff on line. Of their million photographs dating back to 1856, over 21,000 are online. Check out some of their virtual exhibits. I couldn't begin to give you an overview of the site or even the best of its many gems, but check out Chinatown's VE day victory parade, Bay and Wellington as it was after a huge fire in 1904, old advertisements, letters and postcards (including some from the disenchanted), snapshots of a, er, less politically sensitive time (thanks, Capn!), and — inevitably! — hockey artifacts. A friend of mine makes a hobby of Toronto's history, and after this search of mine, I better understand her interest. It's fascinating to see what lies beneath the layers of time on a surface so familiar and loved.
Marcel Dzama
My first impression of Marcel Dzama was in Toronto over two years ago at the Power Plant Gallery. Shortly after getting back from Toronto I came across this little Gem. Two years go by I move, and I forgot completely about this amazing artist. When BAM! he is featured on BECK's new album Guero.
One of the many reasons I love Marcel Dzama is because of the unique characters he has in his work. Also the fact that he uses root beer to paint his subtle earthy browns. If you are interested in his work then it is not too late to grab an original it will only set you back about $1500-1800. With his work on Beck's album and people like Drew Carey, Nicholas Cage, and Jim Carey snatching it up, It won't be long before it becomes unattainable.

loop knot for flies?
When using a topwater lure for bass, I have used a loop knot so the lure itself will float more freely than if the knot is tied and seated directly on the eye of the lure. Has anyone ever tried this for a fly?, and if so how did it work? I thiough maybe the fly might float more naturaly this way. Any thought on the matter? flyguys
The non-slip mono loop knot is the only knot I ever use for poppers and streamers. Still use the improved clinch for small trout nymph and dry flies.
Ditto on what Gary said. I too use the loop knot when fishing poppers and foam flies, or streamer-type flies that have alot of natural movement in them (such as the Swamp Rabbit fly or a SmallieCraw I tie). I just use a clinch knot for trout flies.
The link for Animated Knots is great- just about any knot for any application. I looked for a link, couldn't find it- Jason Borger has a video to tie a nailless nail knot to join the fly line and monofilament leader. I use some furled leaders but have installed (?) a short mono loop on all my flyrods for the furled leader or mono leader.
I use a loop knot (Kreh's) on everything but a dry. This includes #18 midges. To wiggle is to attract!
I use a Davy or Petzen Knot for my small midges to reduce the distractions. It does tense up the action and makes the drift less natural looking.:frown:
Either my flies are getting better, I am getting better, or the fish are getting dumber, but my catch rates have increased since I switched over. The ONLY time I have seen a slow take is on a dry fly. Most nymph takes IMO are a slash take so I doubt seriously they see the knot.
Who knows, maybe trout are far sighted. Why else would they hit my flies? HA!
Besides I don't break off at the knot, it seems it's always the tippett, or at the triple surgeon's knot.

SOD Best & Worst -- 1992
Most Improved Show
Days of Our Lives
Last spring, DAYS was drowning in disaster. Shane and Kayla were struggling along, trying to repackage themselves as a romantic duo (it didn't work); Jack was talking to the ghosts of his dead dads, convinced his own number was up; Roman was masquerading as Hazel the housekeeper while trying to bring down the Torres gang, and Molly and Tanner were debating for the umpteenth time whether or not to kiss. It got so bad, the most exciting reason to watching was the hope that Ginger and Brian's dogs might mate.
These days, however, DAYS is getting into shape. Sure there's still some excess baggage to lose script-wise, but many storylines have never looked better. Bad characters are turning out to be human, and good characters are starting to play with fire. Whoever dreamed that a villian like Lawrence Alamain would turn out to be father of the year? Or that Marlena's growing closeness with John might put a dent in her shrink-in-shining-armour routine?
Split personalities are nothing new, but the emergence of Kimberly's dark side keeps us tuning in to see what troubled alternate personalities Lacey and Claire will get into. It's great to see Patsy Pease break out of the heroine mold, slip into something sleazy and go wild -- Pease has never been more exciting to watch. (Casting Richard Burgi as Kim's flame, Hollywood hotshot Phillip, was a smart move too.)
Meanwhile, Jack and Jenn are up to their old (romantic) tricks in something delightfully new -- a plot combining mystery and Mr. Mom. And while DAYS has introduced some steamy newcomers (piano man Austin and his troubled sister Billie), the show is making a special effort to get back to its roots. Beloved favorites like Bill Horton and Calliope Jones have turned up. We hear more may be on the way, and -- surprise, surprise -- not one of them is coming back from the dead.
Most Entertaining Character
Erica, AMC
What hasn't been said about Erica Kane? She's intelligent, vivacious, and willful, and she's still surprising us after more than two decades. In '92, AMC allowed actress Susan Lucci's comedic talent to shine. Erica's legendary battles with Adam Chandler were reignited when he blackmailed her into remarriage. Where hate, heat and passion go, spontaneous combustion is sure to follow. Soon Erica was pitching pricey vases at 90mph (she always had taste) and Adam was ducking and chuckling at her tempestuous antics.
Amusing as it was, this plot merely laid the groundwork for Erica's main story -- her romance with Dimitri, which showed just how far Ms. Kane has come from the selfish woman who used to pursue any man who caught her fancy. Married man Dimitri chased her and wore down her resistance. Though Erica genuinely loved him, she didn't want to be the mistress, so she called off their affair, plunging herself into running Enchantment, her cosmetics company. She took care of business and still managed to care for her ailing mother, Mona, who was diagnosed with cancer. What will Ms. Kane do next? Darned if we know, but one thing's for sure -- it won't be boring. Versatility, thy name is Erica.
Most Overexposed Character
Blair, OLTL
Blair Daimler moved to Llanview and managed to slither her way into every storyline in town. Blair works for Viki; Blair works for Dorian; Blair flirts with Asa; Blair flirts with Max. You get the drift. Blair was touted as a mystery woman, and we had to sit through months of uncovering her secret (she'd stolen her long-lost psycho mom, Addie, from the looney bin and was plotting revenge on her aunt Dorian for abusing Addie). Too bad Blair got the facts wrong, but who cared, anyway? The real mystery was why Blair was so quickly designated the star of the show. OLTL force-fed Blair and her "steamy" romance with Max (not!) to viewers without pausing to see if they were interested. They weren't. Ironically, it was a crystal-toting free spirit named Luna who stole the show.

Tarooq takes Cleves honours
Tarooq stormed up the far rail to claim a thrilling renewal of the Compare Bookmakers At bookmakers.co.uk Cleves Stakes at Lingfield.

A Fast-Track Qualifier for the big All-Weather Championship Finals Day card back at the Surrey venue on Good Friday, Graham Gibbons got a lovely split around a furlong out to power into contention
Rivellino had put down his challenge around the same time as always-prominent pair Ballista and Ladies Are Forever gave way, but it was the David Barron-trained Tarooq who had the edge by a head, with fellow 5/1 co-favourite Hoof It flashing home best of all to be the same distance away in third.
Tarooq, who broke the six-furlong Polytrack record at Lingfield in December, came close to his own record with a time of 1m 8.94s, just 0.19s outside his best mark.
Gibbons said: "Tarooq loves it at Lingfield and he knows his way round. They didn't really go a million miles an hour for the first furlong and then took off up the hill, so I got him at it a bit coming down the hill. We always know that he is going to finish his race.
"They went a million miles an hour when he broke the track record here last time, which teed up the race for him, but they didn't go off quite as hard early on today. Coming on the inside is the shortest way around.
"He is definitely worth his place in the line-up on finals day. He is going to be taking on pretty much the same horses and will take a bit of beating."

Millions of people across the nation took part in Earth Day activities Tuesday.
The day raises awareness about sustainability and the impact we have on our environment.
An area recycling company is doing its part by helping residents get rid of their electronics.
Dynamic Recycling Incorporated in La Crosse collects e-waste from county drop-off sites.
They then refurbish the electronics or recycle the materials for other uses. "There's lead, mercury, cadmium, there's a lot of harmful heavy metals that are in these devices that are harmful for our environment," said Dynamic Recycling C.E.O. Miles Harter.
You can drop off your electronics at a number of places, including the La Crosse Co. Hazardous Waste Facility, Goodwill, Harter's Quick Clean-Up, and surrounding landfills.
The electronics you can recycle does depend on the drop-off site.
Some places do charge for recycling electronics.

Paralysis of a leg often results from damage to the peripheral spinal nerves. Paralysis of a front leg is usually associated with injury to the nerve roots in the neck or shoulder, or injury to the radial, median, or ulnar nerve in the leg. Paralysis of a hind leg is usually associated with injury to the nerve roots in the lower back or tailbone, or the femoral, sciatic, peroneal, or tibial nerve in the leg.
The animal's posture and gait, spinal reflexes, pain sensation, and the condition of the muscles in the affected limb are evaluated to identify the location of the injury. The closer a nerve injury is to the muscle, the better the outlook for recovery, so it is important to determine the exact location of the injury. The ability or inability of the animal to flex the joint and bear weight on the leg, and the presence or absence of pain sensation and reflexes at various places in the leg, depend on the site of the nerve damage. Within a few days, muscles wither and lose mass because of the lost nerve connection. Nerves regenerate slowly (at the rate of about 1 inch per month), and full functional recovery depends on the condition of the nerve sheath and on the distance between the injury and the muscle where the nerve ends. Some nerve injuries can resolve after several weeks or months; however, when total nerve rupture occurs, surgical reattachment is required for regeneration.
If an abnormal eye condition known as Horner's syndrome (pupil small, eyelid partially closed, and third eyelid elevated) is present on the same side of the body as a paralyzed front leg, then the nerve roots have been torn and the chances for recovery are minimal. If Horner's syndrome is not present with front leg paralysis, the outlook for recovery may be better.
Applying heat, performing massage, and stretching tendons should be done as directed to keep muscles, tendons, and joints of a paralyzed leg healthy while the nerve is regenerating. A light, but not tight, bandage may prevent damage to the foot from dragging. If the leg drags on the ground, it can be held up with a sling or amputated to prevent damage to the paw. Three-legged cats generally have a good quality of life.
No specific therapy is available to help nerve regeneration. Acupuncture may help recovery. If voluntary movement, pain sensation, and spinal reflexes improve over 1 to 2 months, the outlook for recovery is good. An Elizabethan collar may be needed to prevent the cat from chewing on its leg. If the nerve injury is suspected to be permanent and the animal is chewing the leg, amputation may be the best option.

Don't miss the Old Savannah Inn
Had a wonderful stay at the Old Savannah Inn which has been recently and perfectly completely renovated. Beautiful and gracious, centrally located within a block of Forsyth Park with an unbelievable breakfast that kept us full til dinner, best of all was the wonderful inn keeper, Kathleen, who pampers her guests with the perfect music and little treats. Don't miss this one.

Savannah Scene Magazine
Recently, we received a write-up in Savannah Scene Magazine! We hope you enjoy the article as much as we did!
August 20, 2012:
The Olde Savannah Inn, a majestic sanctuary located just steps away from Forsyth Park, offers the city's only French Renaissance-style accommodations, warmly welcoming guests from across the country and around the world.
Owner and innkeeper Kathleen Dupuis serves as the force behind The Olde Savannah Inn. A Boston native, Kathleen first visited Savannah in November 2004 and felt a strong connection with the Hostess City. "I fell in love with Savannah," she recalls. "It reminded me of the Beacon Hill and Back Bay area of Boston."
In 2005, Kathleen purchased the Gaston Street property, which was originally built in 1877 as a private residence. Thanks to her meticulous renovation, this stately mansion has been returned to its former glory. "This is my calling," she says with a smile.
"Everything here is very elegantly presented."
Today, this sumptuous inn features five exquisitely-appointed guest rooms as well as a lavish courtyard garden with a stone fountain. The property showcases impressive attention to detail in the décor, from French Renaissance antiques and opulent gilt mirrors and luxurious linens and silver accents.
All The Olde Savannah Inn guestrooms include Bose CD players, flat screen LCD televisions and gas fireplaces. Sheets are 100% Egyptian cotton, long-stapled and hem stitched with a decadent 800 thread count. Pure down comforters with linen coverlets complete the plush bedding experience.
Kathleen hand-presses the sheets before guests arrive and prepares every meal with love. Luxury towels, silver service, custom bath accessories, chocolates, free high-speed wireless Internet access, copy/fax services, telephones with data ports, hairdryers, laundry facilities and irons with ironing boards are also included with every room.
One of the highlights of any stay at The Olde Savannah Inn is the four-course gourmet breakfast, which includes a wide range of delicious options from expertly-prepared French toast to omelets and crepes. Breakfast can be enjoyed by candlelight in the dining room or al fresco in the courtyard garden.
Coffee is served in a classic French press and serves as an ideal way to start the day. Guests can also enjoy Kathleen's signature Caribbean ice tea. Each room reservation includes delicious afternoon refreshments as well as evening wine and hors d'oeuvres.
"My inn is like a sanctuary," Kathleen enthuses. "It's the perfect place to relax, be spoiled and be catered to. My goal is for every guest to create a lifetime memory and to feel refreshed, renewed and uplifted."
Testimonials and Reviews
Jeff J. - April 2012
My wife and I stayed at the Olde Savannah Inn April 12-15. What a great stay! If you've read the other reviews here, you know that the inn is beautiful and well appointed. We stayed in the Verailles-court room. Great room! The bedding was so luxurious and comfortable that we had a hard time getting up in time for the 9am breakfast. And speaking of breakfast, the owner, Kathleen, will make you the best breakfast you've ever had. I am dead-serious about that. We travel a lot and have never had better breakfasts anywhere in the world! Kathleen cares so much about the inn and that the guests are comfortable and having a good time. And on that, she certainly delivered. The inn is wonderful, the breakfasts are world-class, and we had a fantastic and memorable stay.
C.L. Luce & L. A.
We checked into the Olde Savannah Inn for a 2 night stay and were very impressed with the level of service and free-range of the house. The other guests are warm and pleasant the atmosphere is exquisite. The linens are of the highest quality and the beds are incredible. I am a world traveler and have stayed in some of the most exquisite hotels, palaces and private estates in the world, and I have never stayed at a bed and breakfast of this caliber in the United States. It's even a top runner-up on the European front (for the price and amenities/service). The style is a very tasteful mix of Old World European, mixed with colonial elements and all sorts of Savannah relics, books, and history of course, plenty of hospitality. The house itself embraces you and it really makes you feel like you live right in the middle of historic Savannah. The prices (while high) cannot be marched anywhere in Savannah (that we have seen thus far).

We spent our 25th wedding anniversary at the Olde Savannah Inn. Our hostess and innkeeper, Kathleen, was so warm and hospitable. The house was elegant and wonderfully restored, yet comfortably as well. The Provence Room was available for our stay. We loved the cozy, almost cottage, feel it provided within the historic district. The fountain in the garden just outside our room was a wonderful touch and example of the detail and thought Kathleen has put into this gem of an inn. The linens were very comfortable and the room immaculate. Each evening we found a sweet treat waiting for us to enjoy from a slice of Coca Cola cake to a chocolate chip cookie. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious and plentiful. We enjoyed items such as fresh fruit, crème Brule French toast, blueberry pancakes with fresh whipped crème, and omelet's with goat cheese, fresh herbs and tomato, all served with a side of bacon and sausage. Kathleen helped us with reservations and tour advice as this was our first trip to Savannah. We would love to return to Savannah and The Olde Savannah Inn.
Kent and Mamie Gunter
Dear Kathleen,
Mamie and I would just like to say thank you for an exceptional night at The Olde Savannah Inn. Our time spent with you and your staff was the highlight of our entire honeymoon and will not soon be forgotten. During our stay your southern hospitality and attention to every detail was truly manifested in every way possible. Both the evening seven course dinner and the five course breakfast were exceptional and incomparable with any fine dining we have ever experienced. The thoughtfulness you showed us by turning down the sheets, placing flowers in the room and just the general friendliness, kindness, and extraordinary attention to detail showed the extent of your desire to establish a bed and breakfast of distinction. We thank you again for the wonderful memories and look forward to future stay at the Olde Savannah Inn.
Mary Jan and Henry
On a recent visit to Savannah we stumbled across this exquisite B & B and met the lovely innkeeper Kathleen. She was worth the trip to Savannah! We asked if we could see her Inn and she not only invited us in, but upon finding out it was my husband's birthday invited us to have cake with her and her guests! The amenities are 5 stars! How can we describe such a beautiful and romantic inn? The web site is but a glimpse of the inn's beauty. Kathleen recently opened the inn and the guests we met were beaming with pleasure and didn't want to leave to go home. She has a gift of hospitality and treats her guests and even those who aren't her guests... as royalty.
We look forward to booking our next stay in Savannah at this remarkable inn!
John and Carol
Dear Kathleen,
It was John and my first trip to Savannah and the Olde Savannah Inn. We loved both of them! Both are sumptuously lovely, elegant, and genteel. Your warmth and friendliness was the icing on the cake. (And certainly the great breakfast was too!) I really appreciated the five star hotel qualities of the room and bath as well as how immaculate everything was. Five star hotels will never compare to the charm and beauty The Olde Savannah Inn has and your attention to fine detail. We couldn't have picked a better introduction for ourselves. I hope we'll be back soon.

Special Circular
SPL-50/FEDAI Rule/05
Dear Sir,
FEDAI Rule No.2
Members are aware that the Managing Committee at its various meetings discussed the issues related to the crystallisation of unpaid export bills specifically in regard to passing on the exchange gain, if any, at the time of crystallisation. FEDAI have been corresponding in this regard with RBI, explaining the position.
In response to our communications, RBI vide their letter No.FE.CO.FMD.1872/02.03.107/2005-06 dated 25th July 2005 requested us to consider the following while taking a final view on the modifications in the existing rules on crystallization of unpaid export bills.
You may please refer to paragraph 3.12 of the draft Report of the Internal Technical Group on Forex Markets which has been placed on our web site www.rbi.org.in. It has been suggested therein that both exchange gain / loss should be passed on to the exporter and also that the mandatory period of 30 days of crystallization of export bills should be done away with and ADs be given the freedom to decide on the period of crystallization which may be linked to their credit risk perception of different clients.
The above issue was discussed in detail at the Managing Committee meeting held on 11th August 2005 and it was decided that FEDAI Rule No.2.A.2. regarding crystallisation of unpaid export bills may be amended by allowing banks to pass on the exchange gains, if any, at the time of crystallisation of unpaid export bills just as the losses are recovered from them. However, the spirit of the current Rule namely compulsory crystallisation of unpaid export bills should be preserved.
Considering that presently banks are required to manage a variety of risks, the mandatory period of 30 days for crystallisation of export bills be done away with and authorised dealers be given freedom to decide on the period for crystallisation which may be linked to risk factors like credit perception of different types of exporter clients, operational aspects etc. Such norms devised by the banks in this regard should be transparent and should be advised to their customers well in advance. This may be implemented with immediate effect.
A Circular effecting the amendment to FEDAI Rule (AR Circular) in this regard is being issued separately. Member banks are requested to advise the designated branches in this regard.
Yours faithfully,
Chief Executive

The Phillies continued their trimming of the masses in minor league camp Wednesday morning by releasing another group of players. Among those who were let go was lefty pitcher Matt Way. Right-handed hurler Eric Pettis (pictured) was also among those cut.
Way was often injured during his time in the Philadelphia organization. In three seasons as a pro, including 2011 in which he did not pitch, Way posted a 13-9 record with a 3.22 ERA in 31 games (30 starts). The 24-year-old was a 5th round draft choice in 2009, out of Washington State.
Pettis stormed onto the pro scene as a 35th round draft selection in 2010, going 8-0 with 7 saves and a 1.37 ERA in 20 outings (5 starts) and becoming a NY-Penn League All-Star with the Williamsport Crosscutters that year before joining Class A Lakewood for their playoff push. Last season, Pettis, now 23-years-old, continued his success, tallying a 2-3 record with 5 saves and a 2.84 ERA in 47 combined relief appearances with Class A Lakewood and Class A Advanced Clearwater. The release of Pettis is rather surprising, as many thought he was a solid option to contribute as a reliever at higher levels.
As more names of released players become available, we'll have that information right here.
A source in Clearwater has also confirmed that the following players have been released by the Phillies: catcher Nolan Clark, catcher Chabriel Pizarro, right-handed pitcher Cody Fick, outfielder Luis Amaro and righty hurler Leonel Bastidas.

I dont know the ins and out of this but some of these guys look like they had some potential. Then RAJ likes to go through the scrap heap for other teams cuts.
WTF….sometimes i dont get it…some of these guys seen to be pretty good players, i trust the folks in charge, but the STATS dont seem to make sense
Can you break down the projected opening day roster in an article soon?
So are these players actually released from the organization for good? Why would they cut a guy like Pettis?
First they move Eric Pettis up very quickly, even moving him into the playoffs…what is wrong with this team? Stupid Stupid! It will be phillies loss when another becomes a better team with him.
Pettis moves through 3 levels in his 1.5 seasons after being drafted, then released. If it's an age issue then the Phillie brass was negligent in not at least giving him a shot at AA this year to prove himself. Let the numbers make the decision, not some stuffy suit talking about "projectability". Last I checked, games are won on results, not projectability.
Hello, Neat post. There is an issue together with your web site in internet explorer, could check this? IE nonetheless is the marketplace chief and a huge portion of folks will omit your fantastic writing because of this problem.

Our friends Omer Kreso and Chrissy Piper (celebrity photographer extraordinaire – she's shot two icons of female rock – Karen O and Cat Power) had the idea to do a bicycle-themed shoot. I got together my closest fashion partners in crime – my roommates Jamaica Cole of Sapphire Cordial and Diana Deaver of Seven Bells (and WellWornRoad.com) and the ladies of Preen Vintage in Tucson, Erin Bradley and Emilie Marchand to show off our bike-friendly style in our own ways… with a our interpretation of "road warrior chic."
After that, we were recruited by Tucson Bike Beautiful to promote their upcoming bike fashion procession with another shoot of more ladylike leanings, where we attempted to match our outfits to the era of bike we were riding. These shots were taken by Adam Kizanis and are featured in local glossy, Zocalo Magazine for the month of April. Thanks all!

How much time do you spend looking forward to summer? In my case, it's all the time in winter. Last summer I was lucky enough to have visited the Kalø Slot and here I indulge myself in my reminiscence about it.
When I looked at the group of cows chilling by the sea on such a bright Danish summer day, I thought they were the happiest animals in the world. But a moment later I changed my mind. When I found myself standing at the top of Kalø Slot, a ruined castle of some leftover rocks from history and someone's glory, I felt that I might be happier than the cows I met.
No wonder why the 19th century romantic painters and poets found (and lost) their ways in the womb of Mother Nature. The sweet and swirling light and colors in front of my eyes and surrounding my little self overwhelmed my senses like one of J.M.W.Turner's paintings. Perhaps it was because I was hardly a hiker. Although I lived on a small village up on a hill, it was, afterall, Hong Kong. On Kalø Slot, the sky was much bluer and the grass much greener than those one could find in a city girl's life.
The picturesque landscape was composed of a vast cerulean sky and a spread of luxuriant mountain green. It was adorned with golden rays from the sun, which were reflected by the water and returned to our sight in the form and foam of glittering waves. It was late afternoon, but the sun did not set before 10 at night in the northern summer. There were just a few people around. When I looked back I saw an old man walking hand in hand with a little child. Their shadows followed them tightly on the grassland.
On our way to Kalø Slot we walked between waters. There was a path so thin that when the tide was high only a few inches of it would be visible, and it would simply look and feel like walking in the middle of and above the sea.
Although the sun was gorgeously bright, the temperature was not too warm, especially when the wind roared from time to time. We had a picnic on the grassland at a small valley behind the castle. My teeth took pleasure from an insanely sweet Danish cupcake coated with lots of sugar. One of the most enjoyable features in Denmark was its air, so refreshing and so sincere, when I breathed I could feel that even my lungs were happy.

Skip to comments.BLANKLEY: A sinking ship of state
Posted on 04/06/2010 6:29:44 AM PDT by libstripper
Last summer, President Obama spent several months publicly anguishing over what he would or wouldn't do in Afghanistan. Finally, he
agreed to ramp up troop levels but warned that he intended to start getting American troops out in 18 months. After anguishing in several columns over the president's anguishing, I concluded in November 2009:
"If the Taliban and al Qaeda retake Afghanistan, the world (and America) will have hell to pay for the consequences. But this president and this White House do not have it in them to lead our troops to victory in Afghanistan. So they shouldn't try. The price will be high for whatever foreign policy failures we will endure in the next three years. Let's not add to that price the pointless murder of our finest young troops in a war their leader does not believe in. Bring them home. We'll need them later."
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtontimes.com ...
and today the bombing in Iraq that killed 39 people in an apartment complex was blamed on "al Qaeda"
al Qaeda in Iraq, imagine that
Every single thing that Obama touches, turns to crap. I agree with Blankley, if our troops do not have a clear mission for victory and the support they need to achieve it..bring them home.
My, my, could that be on purpose/i>??
Obama won't be happy until we do a Vietnam-like exit from Kabul with people clinging to the skids of helicopters.
Under the current Rules of Engagement, our boys and girls in Afghanistan are little more than cannon fodder. If we're not going to win, then cut our losses and get out.
Seriously, Obama is screwing up everything.
Hugo Chavez purchasing $5 billion in arms from Putin
North Korea sinking a South Korean Ship
Allowing Iran to go Nuclear
Allowing Iraq to deteriorate
Publicly Showing disrespect to Israel our ally
Encouraging the Palestinian to further unrest
Destroying everything in Afghanistan
Destroying the economic powerhouse of America
Taking away our Liberty via ObamaCare
How much more? The only remaining question is, when will the cauldron of gunpowder and nitro glycerin Obama is mixing blow to high heaven?
In my view, Obama managed to irk Karzai when he showed up in Afghanistan for 12 hours, and Karzai's announcement that he would join the Taliban is a direct whack at Obama.
Now we have "another" situation that Obama has screwed-up beyond repair, so I think if Karzai is not going to be taken out, then it's time to bring our brave troops home.
Why sacrifice our treasure in a war the Kenyan,Muslim,Marxist-CIC that idiot voters elected doesn't want to fight?
I fear it won't be too long before al Queda blows something up on our shores. This weakling pretender president is basically sending out an open invitation to our enemies.
"bammy's way out of his financial mess... will be Roosevelt's...let the world burn...
All of the above, good list. Let me add that Hillary with her demands that Canada have more abortions has put relations with the Harper government in the dumper.
He sent the troops and then he cut their legs out from under them.
My nephew just deployed to Afghanistan. Pray for them and our commander in chief. God is able to direct Obama whether Obama knows it or not. God is our protection.
Thanks to your nephew for his service. Our troops are always in my prayers.
-Barack Hussein Obama
I agree onyx. This is going to sound radical, but I never understood why the US stuck it's nose in the Afghan poppy production before they had viable economic alternatives ready to propose for the afghan populace. The afghans have been growing poppies for centuries and it's more than naive for our country to think we could stop an entire economic foundation for a country as poor as Afghanistan. It seems to me that they could have chosen a middle road of some kind. There are legitimate uses for opioids (medicine,etc.). Why couldn't they have proposed that Afghanistan supply opium for drug manufacturers or something? I am probably being wildly naive here as well, but it just seems they could have handled this a little better imho.
I agree with you and have suggested many times that a deal should have first been brokered to buy the crop for that very purpose and destroy the rest. Much cheaper than trying to interrupt drug shipments, but that would put a lot of enforcement agencies out of work, wouldn't it?
We're just too damn pragmatic, penelopesire!
Is this going to persuade China and Putin to lay down arms?
Who is to say how Iran or North Korea or al Qaeda - possessor of the "poor man's nukes", ie chemical and bio agents inteneded for mass murder- how will these men interpret Barry's unilateral gesture?
The Ivy League pinhead armchair generals around the weakling obama have been preaching this unilateral "no nukes" disarmament strategy all their lives- just look how many times they have been "right" about the altruism and good will of the haters of Western culture and civilization???
And how many times history has proven "right" on the foreign policy beliefs of people like John Kerry, Pelosi, Reid, Hillary/Bill Clinton, Mad Albright, Jane Fonda, Ramsey Clark, Joe Biden, etc .
That would have been an excellent solution onyx. We probably could have saved many lives and lots of money doing it your way.
Al Qaeda and othes are just marking time until we leave. By announcing the 2011 departure date, Obama sent a strong signal that they just have to bide their time.
"But this president and this White House do not have it in them to lead our troops to victory in Afghanistan. So they shouldn't try."
This is the best reason yet for withdrawing from Afghanistan.
You forgot to add Dising England, our friend for many decades and other nations in Europe all to gain cred from tin pot dictators. Mark my word— the day will come when we will need all the friends we can get.
>.Why couldnt they have proposed that Afghanistan supply opium for drug manufacturers
Because most legal opium comes from Turkey and they ain't giving up that puppy.
Thanks for the info. A quick google on Turkey and opium was an interesting read after I read your post. It seems we helped to set up Turkey in opium production to help keep the drug off of the black market and now Turkey and Persia won't allow the US or UN to help other countries in the same way.
And however much we decry Afghanistan's opium, where is the demand?
And if you're a farmer, say an acre of opium gets you $500USD, what's an acre of peaches or plums get you?
In the 19th century India had been the source of most opium, IIRC, but it shifted to Turkey after WWII.
Yes, but only peripherally.
You can almost always predict Obama's next move by thinking of him as being on a mental par with a naive, narcissistic college sophomore who has achieved a position of power.
No doubt you, as I, once had sophomoric delusions of grandeur wherein our public utterances of clear, concise, undoubtedly morally superior commentary would invariably convince all and sundry to mend their ways. The world would be a grand, peaceful place, if they would all just listen to us.
We were too young and silly to understand the difference between people in the real world, and those in our heads who depended on our brilliance. Real people are not so dependent on our words of wisdom. We have, more or less, learned to moderate our expectations with respect to our own brilliance.
Obama, however, does not know the difference. Mentally, he's still that sophomore on whom you and I look back with embarrassment.
And, as a result, Obama simply says things -- hard things -- and he says them to the wrong people, who "need to hear" his wisdom.
He's a menace, because his "on purpose" is so ridiculously immature.

Question (about Toro Lawn Mowers)
the rear wheels on my mower locked up
I was using my Toro recyler mower and suddenly the rear wheels locked up on me. At the time I was using it the self-propelled unit was not engaged and I was pushing the mower forward. I immediately turned the mower off and examined it. The mower will move backwards okay, but when I push it forward it moves alittle bit and then the rear wheels lock up. It is a self-propel mower(rear wheels) and the self-propel drive was greased in the spring when the mower was tuned up.

Meds, Mind, Body & Benefits > Mental Health & HIV
Yet another antidepressant I can't tolerate.
(1/3) > >>
1. Celexa - severe agitation2. Remeron - severe sedation/electric shocks throughout body from loud noises3. Tofranil (lowest dose ever)- scary heart palpitations/made anxiety worse4. St. John's Wort- good! then reaaal bad. Can't take anymore cuz I'm starting meds.This has been a frustrating process. My university psych doc said I have to go elsewhere since I'm starting meds since I need my GP and Psych to "work together". Totally makes sense. Just inconvenient cuz I'm uninsured.I'm not sure why my body seems to have a problem with antidepressants. I always "start low and go slow" but I can never tolerate them. I'm ready to give up. I feel like the depression has leveled off considerably in the last month but I have my episodic bad days and feel lost and underwater and doubt that it'll ever go away. I know this is a trial-and-error type of process but damn gina...I'm soo annoyed!
Shadow, don't give up. There are a myriad of anti-d's out there. Is there a local mental health center in your area? Usually they will take someone who has no insurance, and put them on a sliding scale. And they usually have psychiatrists there also. This might be an option for you.
I noticed that the original post is three months old. Things might have changed for you by now. If you're still battling depression, and still doing the trial-and-error medication search thing, get in touch, if you like, or post again on this thread. I could make some suggestions.JayLove your torso, btw. ;)
I want to suggest Lexapro. David
We should tread this subject very carefully when advising on this or that med. Of course, only a licensed physician should be doing that. I think we all know that though.

I have just bought a Corolla SE Saloon 2002 Automatic 1600 cc and the CNG tank is filled for Rs. 600. It gives me about 75 kilometres with AC. The car is usually driven between cantt. station and p.e.c.h.s. Can this fuel consumption be improved greatly to give at least 90 km ?
My other question to members of this forum with the same model car is how good is your fuel consumption ?

Niopo turned out to be a snuff derived from Anadenthera peregrina, a tree of the open grasslands first described as a hallucinogen by Humboldt.
It appeared the hallucinogen, which is sometimes known on the street as "Europa" and has no approved medical use, was legally ordered over the Internet for a spring break party, said Anoka County Sheriff Commander Paul Sommer.
All the evidence agrees with anthropological research which traces the development of the sense of the sacred, and therefore the birth of religion, to the use of a hallucinogen, which is often a mushroom (the Mexican Psilocybe; the Amanita Muscaria of the Hyperboreans, ancestors of the Europeans; the Soma of the Veda Indians; the Ergot of the Mysteries of Eleusis; the Boletus of the Kuma).

What kind of hallucinogen are they putting in the water over at NSA, anyway?
I quickly turn my attention back to the box to check the ingredient list for some sort of hallucinogen which is about the only way that they could substantiate their claim to stimulate all five of my senses.
A hallucinogen is a drug ... "capable of inducing illusions, hallucinations, delusions, paranoid ideations, and other alterations of mood and thinking.

In their first bout, Brandon "Bam Bam" Rios (31-0-1, 23 KOs) and Mike "Mile High" Alvarado (33-1, 23 KO's) fought in one of the most action-packed boxing fights of 2012. On March 30, 2013 from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, NV, both warriors will step into the ring once again for a highly anticipated rematch.
Both fighters threw caution to the wind and exchanged bombs for six-plus rounds in their 2012 classic bout, until Rios landed a barrage of consecutive punches which prompted referee Pat Russell to stop the fight in Round 7.
After a short layoff, both fighters are anxious to get back into the ring against one another. With four key categories in mind, let's break down Brandon Rios versus Mike Alvarado II.

In professional baseball's 135-year history, there have been, at last count, 143 Jewish ballplayers. Yet only two of them are bona fide stars:
the great slugger, Hank Greenberg, who played from 1930-1947; and the game's greatest left-handed pitcher Sandy Koufax, 1955-1966 (along, that is, with Lefty Grove).
So it's extremely rare when a Jewish baseball player reaches the status where he makes headlines based on whether he plays ball on Yom Kippur.
Dodger slugger Shawn Green faced that decision this past weekend as the holiday fell on two of the first three games of the most important series of the year against the San Francisco Giants. With the Dodgers leading by only 1 1/2 games so late in the season, every pitch -- and every hit -- meant something.
In 2001, I wrote to Green asking him why, in the recent past, he had chosen not to play baseball on Yom Kippur. The letter was included in my book "Something to Write Home About," which consists of handwritten letters from baseball players answering questions about their lives on and off the field. This was Green's inspiring response:
"Though I didn't grow up in a religious household, I was raised with a strong sense of identity. I was a huge baseball fan, just like lots of kids. At the time I was growing up, there really weren't any well-known Jewish players (at least as far as I knew). I was, however, very aware of Hank Greenberg and Sandy Koufax and the tremendous role models they were for Jewish people everywhere.
"As my baseball career progressed, I always remembered the decisions that the two greatest Jewish ballplayers made, and I told myself that if I was ever in their position to, in any way, fill that role, I would. Thus, I feel a strong responsibility to make the right choices when it comes to such topics as not playing on Yom Kippur. I'm not trying to be 'the next Greenberg or Koufax,' but I am trying to do my part as a Jewish ballplayer."
Considering his response to me, I must say I was a bit disheartened by Green's decision to play in one of the game's that fell on Yom Kippur this year.
Even though Green is not (yet) at the magnitude of Greenberg or Koufax, he had a unique chance to do something meaningful by sitting out both games of this extremely important series, honoring the meaning and tradition of Yom Kippur over a win or a loss. He had the opportunity to make a powerful statement to Jews and non-Jews alike, who would have taken notice of and respected his sacrifice.
While he decided he'd play on the first night of the holiday but go to synagogue the next day instead of playing in the second important game, Green's parsed decision is disappointing. He said he agonized over his responsibilities to his teammates on the one hand, and his respect for his religion on the other. Yet, Koufax -- a much more prominent player for the Dodgers than Green is to them at this point in his career -- didn't agonize over his decision to sit out game one of the 1965 World Series in which he was scheduled to pitch. He just did it.
Greenberg never considered playing for his Detroit Tigers in the stretch run of the 1934 season. Rather, he honored the tradition of the most important Jewish observance of the year and sent a message to millions of people across America: Jewish traditions are nonnegotiable. This is important because our traditions are a central facet in binding together the world's minute Jewish population together.
Green had a great opportunity -- considering the magnitude of the sacrifice he could have made -- to truly show the younger generation of Jewish kids and reaffirm for older Jews that, indeed, tradition matters. It is so rare when the actions of a Jew have such a spotlight on them that his refusal to play on Yom Kippur would have made an important statement: Some things are simply more important than others. Unfortunately, Green didn't want to step all the way up to the plate.
The decision Green made, given that he was born in 1972 during the rise of the "me generation," speaks for itself in his statement last week: "I just had to do what I feel is right and what's most consistent with my beliefs. Everyone has different ways of expressing their beliefs. For me as a Jewish person and a teammate, I feel that this is the right decision for me."
Green is a very well-meaning guy whose religious beliefs matter to him. But, I hope the next time he is in this position, he goes all the way and doesn't play baseball during any portion of Yom Kippur. It would be a truly inspiring expression of faith. Koufax and Greenberg are still being cited for the moral choices they made 39 and 70 years ago, respectively, because they knew, instinctively and unequivocally, what the right thing to do was. Green's heart is in the right place. I hope his priorities are fully there if this conflict arises again. Then, in the tradition of Koufax and Greenberg, he undoubtedly would be doing his part as a Jewish ballplayer. n

Hull City 1 Cardiff City 1
The previous time these teams met there were raucous celebrations from Hull City after the match ended in the draw that ensured their automatic promotion from the Championship. There was the same outcome this time, but different emotions from the players.
This was a result from which the Welsh club would have taken more satisfaction, having come from behind after Curtis Davies's header shortly before half-time. Cardiff's attacking display had been disjointed in the first half, although they had a strong penalty appeal rejected when Kim Bo-Kyung was felled, but Malky Mackay's men improved in the second half.

In the history of the game of golf, Tiger Woods may be the single toughest competitor to beat. Woods can hit the ball a mile, has a magnificent iron game, putts at a level few have ever reached and possesses a focus on the golf course unmatched by his present-day peers.
So, it seems fair to wonder, how would the 36-year-old legend have fared against the golfing legends of years past?
This list will at least attempt to answer that question.
Let's be clear, though, this is not a tally of the greatest 20 golfers not named Tiger Woods. This list combines a player's skill level with the amount of excitement the player brings to the golf course.
Greg Norman may have never been as great as Nick Faldo (at least in major championships), but would people really rather see a methodical Woods-Faldo match-up than a heart-stopping one between Woods and Norman?
It would seem the obvious answer is no, and with that in mind, here are the top 20 greats we wish Tiger Woods could've battled toe-to-toe.

The stadium was full and rocking with the GW fans executing the wave to get the fans excited in the early innings. The grandstands were about two-thirds in favor of the Lady Horns. It was a sea of blue that stayed with the girls all night long.
Hallettsville scored in the first as the first batter, Timishia North, blooped a single behind third base.
The throw to second went wide and clear to the fence along the first base side of the field. North sped around the bases and was at third before right fielder Kayla Wallek could get to the ball.
Hallettsville coach Mike Mikeska waved North on and she scored as the throw was a little late and off target.
The Lady 'Horns did not answer until the top of the sixth. A sacrifice fly to left by Ham brought in the tying run in the top of the sixth. And the game went into extra innings at 1-1.
The George West girls pounced on the Lady Brahmas for four big runs in the top of the 10th to put the game away. Kate Jimerson and Kayla Wallek sparked the late rally which also featured run-scoring doubles from Maggie Ham and Kayla Krietsch.
GW pitcher Ham went the full 10 innings, getting out of trouble time and time again. Ham struck out 17 Hallettsville batters in her 10 innings of work.
The two-time all-state selection lived up to her billing and will now get a chance to showcase her talents along with a gritty and "never quit" teammates at state.
"She has no fear. She just competes," said softball coach Chuck Pawelek to the assembled press after the game.
"The Lady Horns are a great demonstration of poise under pressure. They maintained their composure, didn't quit and they came through," said Athletic Director Tim Holt.
"It's a great compliment to their character. I am really proud of them."
The win puts the Lady 'Horns in the state tournament for the first time in their softball history.
The state tourney will be played June 3-5 in Austin at the McCombs softball complex. The GW girls will face the Early Lady 'Horns from District 8-2A at 2 p.m. Thursday. Early carries a 30-3 record and George West will enter the contest at 31-6.
Admission to a tournament session (includes two games) is $10. No presale tickets are available. All sales are at the gate.
