A report titled "Dinosaur Fossil Reveals Creature of a Different Feather" recently appeared on the Science News web site. This report was carried in a variety of Darwinist publications in order to support the lie that birds evolved from dinosaurs, and yet again revealed the despair that has been afflicting Darwinists for a very long time.
It can be seen from this article that some Darwinists still imagine that they can use propaganda to attract people into their ranks. But they are mistaken. Because people no longer believe in the theory of evolution. They can no longer be taken in, but laugh at reports of evolution. It is no longer possible to convince people of this falsehood by means of outdated propaganda!
Because people have touched with their own hands and personally examined evidence that totally exposes the lie of evolution; in other words, they have come into contact with 100 million fossils. It is for that reason that constantly repeating false claims such as "a feathered dinosaur has been discovered" or "fish did move onto dry land," that people have now learned by heart, can never and will never bear any fruit in the face of 100 million fossils that all prove the fact of Creation.
People now laugh at such nonsense as "our ancestors were chimpanzees," "our ancestors were kangaroos" or "our ancestors were germs." And it is totally unbecoming of anyone to try to deceive people with these lies.
Because Evolution Has Collapsed
DARWIN HIMSELF ADMITTED the fact that there are no transitional form fossils. In his book the Origin of Species, Darwin clearly stated, and in a rather foresighted manner, that there existed not a single transitional form fossil and that this represented the greatest possible objection to his theory:
WHY, if species have descended from other species by insensibly fine gradations, DO WE NOT EVERYWHERE SEE INNUMERABLE TRANSITIONAL FORMS? Why is not all nature IN CONFUSION INSTEAD OF THE SPECIES BEING, AS WE SEE THEM, WELL DEFINED?
Geology assuredly DOES NOT REVEAL any such finely graduated organic chain; and this, perhaps, IS THE MOST OBVIOUS AND GRAVEST OBJECTION WHICH CAN BE URGED AGAINST MY THEORY. (Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species, pp. 172, 280)
Indeed, more than 100 million fossils have to date been unearthed from various strata of the earth. But NOT A SINGLE ONE IS A TRANSITIONAL FOSSIL.
These 100 million fossils unearthed reveal that NATURE IS NOT IN A STATE OF CONFUSION, as Darwin anticipated, BUT IS RATHER FULL OF COMPLETE, PERFECT, FLAWLESS LIVING THINGS WITH ALL THEIR PARTS INTACT. The earth contains many animals that have become extinct but bear close similarities to one another. But this DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE INTERMEDIATE FOSSILS. All these life forms WERE BROUGHT INTO BEING FROM NOTHING, WITH NO DEFICIENCIES OR IMPERFECTIONS, BUT IN COMPLETELY PERFECT STATES.
Darwin was well aware of this. And these facts have indeed emerged as THE GRAVEST OBJECTION to the theory, just as Darwin foresaw. In other words, they have demolished Darwinism.
And above and beyond all this, new sciences have shown that CELLS, CHROMOSOMES AND PROTEINS ARE EXTRAORDINARILY AND IRREDUCIBLY COMPLEX.
It has been discovered that there is enough information in DNA TO FILL 1 MILLION ENCYCLOPEDIA PAGES, and that IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR SUCH A GLORIOUS STRUCTURE TO COME INTO BEING BY CHANCE.
It has been established that atoms, the basic building blocks of everything, POSSESS A FLAWLESS ORDER AND GLORIOUS COMPLEXITY.
The theory of evolution has suffered a definite and total collapse in the face of all these facts. That is why people now regard reports of dinosaurs growing feathers and turning into birds as FAIRY TALES.
Birds have always existed as birds, and dinosaurs always existed as dinosaurs. You can examine the 125-million-year-old LIAONINGORNIS fossil and the 120-million-year-old CONFUCIUSORNIS fossil as the clearest evidence of this on the www.fossil-museum.net web site. These birds, which were able to fly perfectly and were fully formed millions of years ago, are identical to birds living today. In the same way that present-day birds were created out of nothing, those birds living all those hundreds of millions of years ago were also created by the will and at the command of our Almighty Lord. People are now well aware of this. And that is why persisting in hollow evolutionary propaganda will serve no purpose at all.
The way that all of Europe has become acquainted with Atlas of Creation and the declaration of the fact that living creatures have remained unchanged for millions of years and that evolution is devoid of any scientific worth have led to a major change of belief among the people of Europe. Independent polls conducted by well-known publishing institutions in different European countries have revealed a major drop in the numbers of people believing in Darwinism and that belief in Allah now dominates Europe. >>
In order to create, God has no need to design
It's important that the word "design" be properly understood. That God has created a flawless design does not mean that He first made a plan and then followed it. God, the Lord of the Earth and the heavens, needs no "designs" in order to create. God is exalted above all such deficiencies. His planning and creation take place at the same instant.
Whenever God wills a thing to come about, it is enough for Him just to say, "Be!"
As verses of the Qur'an tell us:
His command when He desires a thing is just to say to it, "Be!" and it is. (Qur'an, 36: 82)
[God is] the Originator of the heavens and Earth.
When He decides on something, He just says to it, "Be!" and it is. (Qur'an, 2: 117)

One of Lead's mantra's is, make your own decisions. This game opitimizes this. Lead recommended this as his pro special (On his way to CRUSHING the book with a 5-2 weekend) by NOT listening to the experts, but using common sense.
everyone from several sports writers and commentators such as Emmith Smith were picking the Panthers because "Colts are coming off a Monday Night" and "Colts are going to be looking ahead to The Pats." OK, Maybe. Lead has seen enough of Manning and his leadership and desire to be perfect that these comments would seem debatable at best. But look at what is NOT debatable here.
1. A 98 year old Vincezo Testaverde is playing QB. Not to knock Vinny, but how many strats does he have in the last 4 years ? How old is he? How long has he been on the Panthers roster?
2. Name a good offensive player on the Panthers besides Steve Smith. And, no, the two mediocre running backs who get hurt every 10 minutes are not good. In other words, HOW MANY POINTS DID THEY EXPECT THE PANTHERS TO SCORE?
3. The Panthers defense, while good, is not game changing like it was a few years back when guys like Rucker was at the top of his game and Morgan was playing 100%. Peppers is a great player, but teams can focus on him now.
4. The Colts are BETTER than last year. The D is improved, Sanders is healthy.
How in the world was the Super Bowl a 7 point game last year, and this game only 6. How this game didn't open at at least 10.
Moral of the story, some times it's best not to overthink. It's really hard to find weak lines in the Pros, Indy and San Diego this weekend were two prime examples.

Heroes of the Pole StarMajor Timothy Torrance looked at the young Lieutenant at the intelligence station. He didn't remember the name of the young man, he was the newcomer in his crew. Aboard the USNASF spaceship Edison, the crew was not simply a crew but a family. The young Lieutenant was not a member of the family, anything but. He had to earn the right to become one of them, a veteran spaceship crew of the United States of North American Air and Space Force. As things were, maybe he'll earn it with his baptism by fire.Heroes of the Pole Star by davemetlesits

History of the Tzenkethi WarThe history of the Tzenkethi WarHistory of the Tzenkethi War by davemetlesits
Some historians consider the Tzenkethi War the Federation's military showoff for the emerging superpower of the Cardassian Union. Others say this small war which ended with a total Federation victory and the humiliation of the proud Tzenkethi race that knew no defeat for uncounted centuries was the continuation of an ages-old conflict within the Federation itself. Thus, it was a proxy war, fought between those who stood for the ideas of the Federation's regime and those who opposed it.
The conflict, they say, began in 2273 AD, when the third starship to bear the name "USS Polaris" (NCC-2782) was dispatched to investigate the war the Tzenkethi fought for the conquest of the Kzinti Patriarchy. Unknown to most of the Federation military, the UE First Fleet starship was tasked with a secret agenda by Leningrad Command: the crew was to help one side to win the war, and whom to support was their choice. The rest is history the crew chose the unknown Tz

Matthew Heaggans is a busy guy.
He and his business partners Rosa Gaerlan and Lyle Bigelow run Swoop Food Group, the company behind the Swoop! food cart, the Press food cart, the Crepes a la Carte food cart and their latest project: a pop-up restaurant called Bebe, inside the Hey Hey Bar & Grill at 361 Whittier St.
They're gearing up for another season of serving crab and sweet pea falafel and fried jerk chicken sandwiches at the Swoop! truck; ham and cheese crepes and honey and cinnamon crepes at Crepes a la Carte, and small plates such as yak burgers and sauerkraut balls at the Hey Hey.
In a way, Heaggans and Swoop Food Group are prime examples of a new post-recession business model for the restaurant industry. That model views bricks-and-mortar locations as too-risky and too-expensive entry points into the business and seeks more-creative, less-expensive ways to get their food to diners.
"Brick and mortar standalone is what we are definitely pushing for. It's in our future, and Bebe is kind of a small-scale version of what we would do," Heaggans said.
But "Food trucks give people an opportunity to make an introduction, to figure out what is going to work and how people will respond. I know a lot of people who operate trucks and carts, who love it and put all of themselves into it, but a lot of us want to do more."
Why trucks, then?
"They have a lower overhead entry into the business, and they're a way to make a reputation and build a client base so you can eventually build something bigger," Heaggans said.
A pop-up restaurant, which is essentially a restaurant operating out of a rented kitchen inside another venue, is another steppingstone to a traditional restaurant, he said.
Bebe, on the fringes of German Village, has allowed the group to serve a larger menu with more variety than at the trucks, because the kitchen and the refrigerator are larger, Heaggans said.
"It looks different, but, in a lot of ways, it's the same as the trucks. We still make everything by hand, but now we can do it on a larger scale."
The partners can see "how our larger-scale plans will work. We can practice and see who our clientele (is) and how often they will come back," he said.
"We're making connections so that, down the road, people will come to see us wherever we are or whatever we're doing. If they get good food at our pop-up and our food truck, they will hopefully seek us out as a restaurant."
A lot of other young food entrepreneurs also see potential in food trucks.
By 2017, food trucks in the U.S. are expected to generate about $2.7 billion in revenue, up from $650 million in 2012, says the industry firm Emergent Research. The firm attributes the growth in food trucks to the lower cost of starting and running them, and to owners' ability to quickly test new concepts and menus as well as interact regularly with customers.
The firm pegs the startup costs of a food truck at about $75,000, and the cost of opening a traditional restaurant at $250,000 to $500,000.
Food trucks as an industry have grown about 8 percent each year between 2008 and 2013, the research firm IBISWorld says.
On the surface, it seems that sales in traditional restaurants overall also have risen during the same time, hovering between 3 and 4 percent each year, the National Restaurant Association says.
But a new report by NPD Group paints a different picture: While the number of bricks-and-mortar restaurant locations overall rose an anemic 0.7 percent nationwide in the past year, the growth was concentrated primarily in chain restaurants, with chains adding three times as many new locations as independently owned restaurants. Indies had virtually no growth at all.
Enter the food truck as an affordable and viable way for independent owners to make a name for themselves.
There is no doubt that food-truck fever has gripped Columbus. The city is now home to the annual Food Truck Festival. The Dinin' Hall, a sit-down eating area featuring local food trucks, opened in Franklinton in 2012. Columbus Food Adventures, a culinary tour company, built its business around a tour of Columbus taco trucks.
Heaggans didn't plan to be part of the food-truck world. He had been living in Washington, D.C., and working in fine dining, but decided to move home to Columbus in 2010.
"Oddly, I tried to get jobs in kitchens here and couldn't get an interview," he said.
A friend suggested a food truck, and eventually Heaggans bought a truck, set up shop and opened for business on June 12, 2012.
"It went pretty horribly, honestly, but we were really excited to be on the street and sell some food," he said. "You hope people will jump on right away, but reality doesn't always meet that. It took us a while to get around and inform people about our food and quality, until eventually we had a hard-core following."
Food carts and trucks aren't perfect. "If they were any smaller businesses, we'd be lemonade stands," Heaggans said. "It seems more affordable when you look at no rent, but inside of that framework, we have smaller access to revenue."
Yet he sees plenty of upside.
"People are more comfortable with mobile food and understand we aren't just out to sell them fast food; we're interested in putting out a progressive and quality product at the best price we can. There will always be competition, but there is plenty of room for growth in Columbus, as long as everyone is committed to giving people a good experience."

Lori Ann (Reinarts) Haefner
Lori Ann (Reinarts) Haefner 57, born in New Ulm to Marvin and Dolores (Ubl) Reinarts. She was the oldest of seven children.
Lori is survived by her husband, Ron Haefner of Mankato; children, Shawn (Yvette) Firle of New Ulm, Ryan Firle of Mankato, and Nikki (David) Sowers of New Ulm; stepchildren, Erin Haefner of Kasota, Kaycee (Billy) Hutchinson of New Ulm; grandchildren, Alex, Paige, Tasia, Kaylee, Emma, Marq, Luke, Tylee, Nathan, Abby, Baron, and Nolan; father, Marv Reinarts of New Ulm; siblings, Patti (Mark) LeGare of Lafayette, Julie Reinarts of New Ulm, Gerry (Lorie) Reinarts of New Ulm, Katherine (Myron) Schroepfer of Lake Crystal, Joan (Larry) Giefer of Rochester, and Michael Reinarts of New Ulm; and many uncles, aunts, nieces, and nephews.
Lori and Ron met and began their union in 1996 and were married in Nov. 2005. Lori had many jobs in her lifetime, but the 23 years she worked at Dittrich Specialties were the most memorable to her. Lori came to work for her husband at his automotive repair shop in Mankato in 2006. She loved working there as it gave her the freedom to have more time to spoil her grandchildren.
Lori had many loves: her family most of all, flowers, gardening, canning, cooking, music, travel, her kitties, and the wild birds she fed.
She was preceded in death by her grandson Luke ('07) and her mother Dolores ('08).
Lori was a source of much laughter, joy, and comfort to all that knew her, and her passing will leave a hole in all of our hearts.
A funeral mass will be at St. Joseph the Worker at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, February 28. Father John Wilmot will officiate.
Visitation will be held one hour prior to the mass at the church.
A reception will be in the church following the mass.
A private burial will be held in late spring.
We would also like to thank all of the staff at ISJ oncology department and Hospice for their exemplary care and support.
In lieu of flowers memorials are preferred to the Cancer Society, Hospice, or donor's favorite charity.

The U.S. Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista is the first USOC training center to be master-planned from the ground up and is dedicated to the development and performance of America's future Olympic athletes. The year-round, warm-weather facility in Chula Vista, California, was a gift to the United States Olympic Committee from the San Diego National Sports Training Foundation, a group of dedicated business and community leaders, and volunteers who raised the funds to build the Center.
The Chula Vista Olympic Training Center rests on a 155-acre complex adjacent to Lower Otay Reservoir in San Diego County. The Center has sport venues and support facilities for the Olympic sports of archery, BMX, canoe/kayak, cycling, field hockey, rowing, soccer, softball, tennis, track & field and triathlon. Athletes are chosen to train the CVOTC by their respective sport Federation or National Governing Body (NGB). The CVOTC offers support to athletes including housing, dining, training facilities, local transportation, recreational facilities, athlete services and professional development programs.
The Chula Vista Olympic Training Center, which officially opened in June 1995, benefits thousands of Olympic hopefuls, and also serves local youth and citizens nationwide. It has been designed to accommodate visitors with self-guided and escorted tours of our state-of-the-art facility at no charge. Thousands of student-athletes and coaches also gain access to the Chula Vista OTC for clinics and competitions when venues are not being utilized by Olympic athletes in training.

Economic Importance for Humans: Negative
The long spines of Acanthaster planci are capable of pricking and stinging humans, inflicting great pain that can last up to hours. Glandular cells located on the epithelium covering each spine release toxic chemicals into the skin when it stings. There is temporary paralyzation at the sight of stinging accompanied by nausea (Grzimek, 1972).

I hate to start of negative with all the work you've done to modify the oven but as I've already mentioned in the past you really should work on adjusting your dough and topping style to align with the fast baked pizza you are trying to produce. The pizza in your video is WAY to heavily topped for a sub 2 minute bake. I really think your results will come faster if you first adjust your pizza, THEN dial in the oven.
The concern with over topping isn't about the ingredients cooking, it is about all the moisture they bring with them and too the pizza. The extra moisture will effect the entire bake.

Frankly my mind hasnt boggeled this much since the "Phil Spector pulling a gun on Stevie Wonder" thread.

Posted 06 February 2004 - 01:29 PM
I would imagine he uses the exact same tone of voice that he uses for everything else he says: owing, of course, to his trusty voice box. Maybe people think he is telling jokes, when in actual fact he is pleading for help.
Seriously though, inflexion must quite tough for the old Prof., unless Texas instruments have made some radical progress in the past decade with their integrated circuits; and just think how close we are to ground-breaking, nano-technology based voice synthesis...

Another post-hospital update for you, from yesterdays Indie:
Hawking treated by specialists
"The physicist Professor Stephen Hawking has been moved to a specialist heart and lung hospital, Papworth Hospital in Cambridge, after being admitted to the city's Addenbrooke's Hospital last week. He is said to be having treatment for pnuemonia and his condition is described as stable. Cambridge University, where Professor Hawking is mathematics professor, was unable to say why he had been moved. "He had gone back to Addenbrooke's a few days ago in relation to the pneumonia he was being treated for in December and January", a spokeswoman said. Professor Hawking, 62, who has motor neurone disease, sprang to fame more than a decade ago after publication of his bestselling history of the universe, A Brief History Of Time
Posted 13 April 2004 - 09:07 AM
Why, with all the advances of science at his disposal, does Stephen Hawking speak with an American accent on his electronic voice box? [A question we all want to know the answer to!] The actor Benedict Cumberbatch, who plays the professor in the BBC2 film about him tonight, was provided with the answer when the two met before filming. Asked why he hadn't changed the voice box accent to English, Hawking replied: "I find that American and Scandinavian accents work better with women.
Hawking, recounting the drama of the early life of the Professor, is on BBC2 tonight at 9pm. Might be worth a watch.

Organic cases provide protection: bagworm moths
Larvae of bagworm moths protect themselves by building spiral-patterned cases out of environmental materials such as twigs, leaves, and silk.
"The bagworm constructs a case around itself soon after hatching from its egg. The bagworm finds twigs or leaves in the tree or shrub where it feeds, and weaves these together in a silken case. As the bagworm grows, it adds to this 'armor.' The animal carries the protective case along with it as it moves around, poking out its head to feed.
"When the bagworm is full-grown, it uses silk to anchor the case to a branch or leaf. Sealing the opening with silk, it spins a silk inner case, or cocoon. There the caterpillar pupates. The adult male develops wings and leaves his cocoon to mate. The adult female never leaves her cocoon and lays her eggs in it. When the eggs hatch, the larvae crawl out of the case and move away, each to make its own tiny new case.
"The remarkable thing about the design of the bagworm twig casing is that it is designed to resist failure by crushing. The bagworm does this by placing the twigs in an ingenious pattern that, in section, forms a spiral configuration. Differing species apply this principle in various effective ways." (Tsui 1999:128)

A few months ago, I decided I would write a blog post after working at Mozilla for one year. I wasn't sure what it would be about, but I knew that I wanted to talk about the sort of things I've been working on, my team and our projects.
I joined Mozilla in May 2011 to work on client security, mostly focusing on desktop and mobile Firefox. I've worked in various security roles throughout my career, but personally feel that an engineering role is where I am the happiest and have the most to offer. Although I've been interested in security since I was a teenager exploring the Internet, development is where my professional career began. I worked on Solaris at my first job, and subsequently began a long stint as a Windows programmer at a number of companies. At one of these companies, I even worked on software for Windows CE, helping build one of the first-generation mobile firewalls. I became more and more interested in focusing on security professionally and I found myself oscillating between 'security consulting'-type work and 'security engineering'-type work. Both have different challenges and their own set of pros and cons. As brilliantly described by David Mandelin in a blog post about starting employment at Mozilla, the hardest problem I had to face on my arrival was figuring out where to focus my efforts to most improve our users' security and privacy. Among other things, I worked reviewing Firefox's silent updates feature, reviewing the Android Sync client side implementation, and tracking and advising on security matters for Firefox on Android. I also participated in many feature security reviews, worked on a few random security bugs (which helped a lot with learning my way around the Mozilla codebase and development environment), and finally began work on a Firefox feature I hope to discuss further in a future blog post once it's landed !
In February 2012, Mozilla's security teams reorganized. Previously, the security teams had been organized into separate groups responsible for operational security (securing, hardening, and monitoring servers and devices throughout Mozilla), infrastructure security (web applications and website security) and client security (Firefox for desktop and mobile and other client side applications – including fuzzers looking for security bugs in these products). The reorganization merged all teams responsible for reviewing and maintaining security across the organization into the Security Assurance team and established the Security Engineering team to focus on implementing security and privacy features. Security Engineering works on these features both in conjunction with other browsers and websites to improve the security and privacy of the web as a whole, and to attempt to advance the state of the art by going where other browsers cannot or will not go, in alignment with Mozilla's manifesto of putting users first. After the reorganization, I am now a member of the Security Engineering team – it's been a very busy first few months for us! Of course, in classic Mozilla style, teams have pretty fuzzy boundaries, so I still work with the same people every day on our shared goal of improving security.
One thing that is incredibly refreshing about working on security at Mozilla, as many of my colleagues will attest, is being able to talk about our plans and what we are working on – this is very unusual for many security folks! Security engineering follows the same open and public approach to developing features the rest of the Mozilla project takes. This means that we open ourselves up to getting advice and input on our security work from the rest of the community, which is especially valuable early on in a project's lifecycle. By "community" I mean both the security community (just like in cryptography, the more folks who try to break your system the better!) and the Mozilla community, where we can gain insight into the security issues and challenges our users are facing. We can ship early versions of features disabled by default (like click to play) in Nightly builds, and people can turn the feature on, try it out, and provide feedback, ensuring we're not planning the feature in a vaccuum.
At the first few meetings of the Security Engineering team, we focused on updating the existing Security Roadmap. The roadmap began as a survey conducted by Lucas Adamski in early 2011. Respondents essentially played a variant of Planning Poker, in which everyone was given a set number of points to allot to various ideas for security features or research that had been generated in a previous brainstorming session. This helped gauge the feelings of people interested in security within the Mozilla project on what was most important to focus on security-wise. Sid Stamm, Mozilla's Lead Privacy Engineer, established a Privacy Roadmap along similar lines last year, focusing on improving the privacy of our users on the web.
The key to both of the Security and Privacy roadmaps is that they are discussed and refined on a regular basis. This agility allows us to keep the roadmaps responsive to current events on the Internet and also helps make sure we are in line with the overall priorities of the Mozilla project. It lets us set long term goals and make sure we are focusing on the right things. We tend to keep projects that aren't actively being worked on at a lower priority, ensuring we finish the higher priority projects first or have actively decided to change an project's priority. It's no surprise that many of the Security Engineering team's quarterly goals are pretty much lifted from our roadmap.
Personally, I'm currently working on two P1 items on the Security Roadmap:
- <iframe> sandbox – an attribute that can restrict a piece of content is something I became interested in when I was previously working on Flash Player. My first week at Mozilla <iframe> sandbox was suggested to me by Jonas Sicking as a potential project to pick up I've completed writing all the code and tests for this, and it's going through code and security review now. I hope to land it sometime in the near future.
- My main project at the moment is researching sandboxing the Firefox process on Windows, in a similar fashion to how IE's and Chrome's processes are sandboxed to try to thwart successful exploitation. I–and other Mozilla security folks–have frequently heard from people in the security community that this is one of the main things they would like us to do to improve the security of Firefox; however it's a pretty complicated project. At the moment I'm working on a proof-of-concept that would show that it's possible to at least sandbox some parts of Firefox, aided by our intern, Marshall Moutenot. I plan to talk more about this project in the near future in a blog post as the work progresses.
Another P1 roadmap item, the Security Engineering team has been spending a fair bit of time discussing and pushing along is "opt in activation of plugins", often referred to as "click-to-play for plugins". Our aim for this feature from a security-focused perspective is to help drive users to update their plugins and prevent 'drive by' attacks attempting to exploit plugin vulnerabilities.
The Security Engineering team is hard at work on many other interesting projects as well :
- Sid Stamm is researching giving users better control over their cookies, especially third-party cookies
- Tanvi Vyas is working to make it easier for users to see when their passwords are being submitted insecurely and exploring creating a workable user experience around this
- Camilo Viecco dug into some bugs to make it harder for sites to fingerprint and identify users on the web and is now working on implementing CA pinning in Firefox
- Lucas Adamski (our fearless leader) has been knee deep in Open Web Apps and B2G for the past few months, driving development of the security model and shaping our story around permissions for WebAPI's and Open Web Apps
- David Keeler, after two previous stints as a Mozilla intern, joined Security Engineering full-time recently and is doing an awesome job, diving right into working on click-to-play for plugins
- David Dahl also recently joined the Security Engineering team. David was previously working on the Firefox team and is working on DOMCrypt , both the implementation and efforts to get it spec'd and standardized through the W3C process. He's also been helping with the 'Sign Into The Browser' feature.
All this exciting stuff is in addition to our attempts to keep up on everything going on with security and privacy on the web (and as part of the Mozilla project) and discussing security and privacy with community folks whenever we can!
In closing, if you're interested in Mozilla's Security Engineering efforts, our meetings are on Thursdays at 3pm PST. Meeting announcements are posted to mozilla.dev.planning and mozilla.dev.security every week.
We also warmly welcome feedback and discussion on security features or the Security/Privacy roadmaps on the mozilla.dev.security mailing list/group or on #security on irc.mozilla.org
And.. if this all sounds challenging and really interesting (and often fun!), we're hiring security and privacy engineers !
Thanks to Lucas Adamski, Sid Stamm, and Tanvi Vyas for reviewing and providing feedback for this post !

Copenhagen is a city with such a beautiful atmosphere! After the concert, we had the Sunday off here on tour, so we had some time to visit the city. Of course we had to say hello to the little mermaid, out of Hans Christian Andersens famous fairy tale!
Now we are leaving by bus for Bremen.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) -- Penn State coach Coquese Washington thinks her team is starting to get into a groove.
''I think that we're starting to find our rhythm,'' Washington said. ''I think at this point we're getting comfortable with our roles and getting familiar with their teammates and how they're going to play and what they can expect from each other. I think that brings a little bit of confidence.''
Alex Bentley and Maggie Lucas each scored 20 points to lead No. 8 Penn State to a 76-54 win over Indiana on Thursday night.
Mia Nickson had 13 points and Dara Taylor added 10 for the Lady Lions (19-3, 9-1 Big Ten), who have won 13 of their last 14 games.
Aulani Sinclair had 21 and Jasmine McGhee had 12 for the Hoosiers (10-13, 1-9), who have lost eight straight.
The Lady Lions went on a 15-2 run in the second half to go up 18 points on two free throws by Lucas with 11:22 left to play. The Lady Lions took a 41-34 lead on baskets by Bentley and Taylor after the Hoosiers got within three at the start of the second half.
It wasn't all that easy, though. It took a while for the Lady Lions to get rolling against the Hoosiers.
''There were so many whistles, both teams were in the bonus within like 12 minutes of each half,'' Washington said. ''It was really hard to get into a rhythm offensively for us.''
It wasn't enough to hold the Lady Lions back, though.
Sinclair and McGhee scored right away in the second half to get within three, 37-34, before the Lady Lions pulled away.
Chaplin scored for the Hoosiers to make it 41-36 and then Bentley hit a 3-pointer to spark the second half run for Penn State.
The Hoosiers missed a shot and then Bentley made two free throws, Lucas hit a free throw and two other baskets and Taylor scored in the run.
''There were too many turnovers that led to easy points,'' Indiana coach Curt Miller said. ''And then the rebound differential.''
The Lady Lions scored 25 points off Indiana's 20 turnovers. And the Lady Lions had their way with the Hoosiers on the glass, outrebounding Indiana 54-32 and grabbed 23 offensive rebounds.
Penn State went on a 8-0 run late in the second half to seal the game.
''There's a lot of individuals that are going to play beyond college and there's a lot of WNBA players on that roster,'' Indiana coach Curt Miller said. ''But with that said, I thought we competed and I'm very proud of our team.''

Nine games into his junior season, Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor said yesterday he has no plans to forego his senior season and head for the NFL.
"It would be hard being away from a lot of the guys I've been around, and I want to get my degree as well, so I could finish that up," Pryor said. "I want to have a legacy here, you know? Maybe someday get my jersey hung up. That's one of my goals as well here."
It hadn't been a subject of serious conjecture anyway, but the talk was out there.
"I just think I've got to develop my brain how I can control situations. I think a lot of people, whether you are here or at a different college, should develop your mind before you take off, because decisions outside of here, not just on the football field but decisions (away from the game) are important as well."

What is cancer?
Cancer is a disease that starts in our cells. Our bodies are made up of trillions of cells, grouped together to form tissues and organs such as muscles and bones, the lungs and the liver. Genes inside each cell order it to grow, work, reproduce and die. Normally, our cells obey these orders and we remain healthy. But sometimes the instructions get mixed up, causing the cells to form lumps or tumours, or spread through the bloodstream and lymphatic system to other parts of the body.
Tumours can be either non-cancerous (benign) or cancerous (malignant). Benign tumour cells stay in one place in the body and are not usually life-threatening.
Malignant tumour cells are able to invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body. Cancer cells that spread to other parts of the body are called metastases.
The first sign that a malignant tumour has spread (metastasized) is often swelling of nearby lymph nodes, but cancer can metastasize to almost any part of the body. It is important to find malignant tumours as early as possible.
Cancers are named after the part of the body where they start. For example, cancer that starts in the bladder but spreads to the lung is called bladder cancer with lung metastases.
I feel honoured that I was a part of these people's lives … honoured to have been there for them, to have listened and offered hope that it will be okay.
Facing the financial burden of cancer
The Canadian Cancer Society provides helpful information about government income programs, financial resources and other resources available to families struggling to make sense of the personal financial burden they face.

Short takes for Jan. 24
Speakers come to town
A couple of weekends ago, high school dance team members descended on Marshall for the Tiger Dance Team Invitational. This weekend, the speakers take the stage at the annual Schwan Speech Spectacular. Students from 34 schools, including some from Colorado, South Dakota, Iowa and Kansas, will take part in what has grown into a highly-competitive and well-respected high school speech tournament. Locally, students from Marshall, Tracy-Milroy-Balaton, Pipestone, Lac qui Parle, Fulda and Adrian will compete among the 800 participants. We wish all the participants the best of luck at the invitational and also want to recognize the speech parents for all the work they do to make this event such a huge success.
CTL coming to MHS
We were glad to see the proposal to start a Clay Target League at Marshall High School receive such strong support from the Marshall School Board, which voted unanimously this week to start a team in Marshall. A number of local groups raised money for the program to help keep costs to participants limited to just the activity fee. Marshall youth will get the chance to compete against more than 160 teams from across the state, and this is a great opportunity for those students who aren't involved in athletics to compete at the state level and show off a skill set that isn't typically recognized by the general public.
MNsure mess
We learned this week that the problems surrounding the MNsure web site won't all be fixed by the time the deadline for all Americans to enroll rolls around (March 31). A review of the website uncovered major flaws that could take up to two years to completely fix. The review also addressed problems with the MNsure toll-free call center and called out its design and need for more staff and found that MNsure had a lack of leadership when the website meltdown occurred. Even though more than 80,000 Minnesotans have been able to enroll, all the problems surrounding MNsure are troubling to say the least.

When it comes to celebrating Valentine's day most people reach for the usual things, like chocolate, flowers and a candle light dinner at home.
But as always Il Salviatino dares you to think bigger, welcoming you and your beloved one with a special Package valid from 11th to 19th of February. May that be a triumphant beginning to what will be an unforgettable romantic getaway.
This year's St. Valentine Package includes, besides accommodation in De Luxe Room with breakfast "à la carte", a romantic dinner for two and a 30 minutes couple massage.
Although it will be hard to want to leave the hotel even for a minute, we advise you to do so and explore the city of Florence which is on its own very romantic.
A golden sunset in Ponte Vecchio gazing at Arno river, a sip of Tuscan's fine wine, and a quick stop in one of the top Florentine Chocolatiers could provide you lovely memories to treasure for a lifetime.
It is said that originally St. Valentine in Italy was celebrated by young lovers in ornamental gardens enjoying music and poetry reading. It could be pleasant to take a few hours of your time to visit Pitti's Palace and stroll into the Boboli's Gardens, to have a little taste of what this day could have been like so long ago.
Trusting your fine taste Il Salviatino welcomes you, with a glass of Champagne, to an Aphrodisiac Dinner for two to be served on the February 14th , with a tailored menu created by our Chef Carmine Caló.
As a guest in this 5 star hotel in Florence set your mind on simply enjoying with your Valentine the incomparable environment of Florence, the City of Renaissance.
Costume parades, joyful music, splendorous masks… Those are no more than just a few of the countless details that make Carnival in Tuscany simply magical.
This festivity usually takes place four Sundays before the Shrove Tuesday, in Italian "Martedi Graso", and it is an event celebrated like no other, specially in Viareggio. A city located at a relatively short distance from Florence.
Begun in February 1873, Viareggio's Carnival is considered worldwide to be one of the finest celebrations in all Italy, and its biggest assets are definitely the float parades displaying enormous figures made of papier-mâché, alongside 200 people dressed up in full costume.
Every year thousands of people from all over the world choose Viareggio as a Carnival destination, and many say the major reason to do so is the opportunity to enjoy the parade and see what theme they come up with each year.
Although dressing up in full costume is not strictly required most people choose to do so, while other prefer to keep it simple and just wear a "Burlamacco" mask or put on some fancy make-up. Whatever may the case be, what really matters is enjoying the party atmosphere.
Needless to say that no description could ever match the sensation of being there.
Il Salviatino will be keeping at your disposal a special carnival package, valid every weekend from the 4th of February to the 4th of March.
It includes, besides a 2 nights stay in De Luxe Double Room of our luxury hotel in Florence, a trip to Viareggio with Lunch for two. All of this to let you experience Tuscan's Carnival at its best.
Anyone who has visited Florence knows why it is considered the most authentic and true jewel of Tuscany. Cultural center, historical and artistic heritage of Northern Italy, Florence has all the conditions to enjoy an unparalleled city around the world.
Dubbed as the "city of Stendhal syndrome", originating from the shock the writer suffered as he witnessed the overwhelming beauty of Santa Croce church, the city's great historical and artistic heritage makes the Tuscan capital the true cradle of Italian Renaissance. Its historical center was declared World Heritage Site by Unesco in 1982. A visit to the Santa Maria del Fiore Basilica, the Piazza della Signoria and its famous Palazzo Vecchio is a must, and not to mention, the Ponte Vecchio, one of the symbols of the city, must not be missed. We can also visit dozens of museums, such as the Galeria de la Academia, where the famous "David" of Michelangelo is located.
Santa Croce church, origin of Stendhal syndrome.
Florence is also an enigmatic city that has sheltered all kinds of legends throughout its history. For hundreds of years, Master Brunellschi kept his secret about how the dome of the Florence cathedral was being sustained, which can be seen practically from anywhere in the city. Florence also houses the tombs of masters such as Michelangelo and the fake tombstone of Galileo Galilei,which was actually buried in a chapel without public access.
Florence not only has artistic heritage but its festivals and popular traditions also make it a unique place in the region. The Maggiolata is one of the most important festivals of the year. It is a celebration to welcome the arrival of spring with dances, parades and a beautiful display of flowers in the city center. If arrival is in June, one can attend the famous event called "Calcio in Costume", a football match done in medieval style on the feast of San Giovanni, or the Three Kings parade on January 6.
But whatever the travel season may be, Il Salviatino would like guests to enjoy their stay in this luxury hotel in Florence. Whether it is for a romantic getaway or honeymoon, a family time or for relaxation purposes, there is always an option available to make the visit to this city an unforgettable one.
Lastly, exploring Florence requires delving into each of its corners; slowly discovering its myriad of treasures. Relish the full experience in a 5 star hotel in Florence. It certainly is a feast for the senses.
We want to welcome to the season that transforms our environment into a special and magical place. Enjoy it at the best hotel in Florence.
There are few ways to start off the year better than by receiving the news that we have been chosen as Andrew Harper's Hideaway of the year, one of the most prestigious accolades in the luxury travel market.
Andrew Harper Grand Award 2011 – Il Salviatino – Luxury Hotel in Florence

Lunch at La Terrazza
Florence's latest Luxury Hotel, Il Salviatino has launched a stunning Half Board package for its select guests. It is called "Dine Around." All Guest bookings made from the Junior Suite Category and above shall have a complimentary half board package for two included. Unlike tradtional half board packages, the Dine Around package offers a meal (lunch or dinner can be freely chosen daily) which guests can decide to enjoy in any of the wonderful restaurants on site or at some of Florence's most renowned and popular restaurants. This is just another example of the "freedom is luxury" philosophy at Il Salviatino.
Chef Saverio Sbaragli at Il Salviatino
Il Salviatino's star chef, Saverio Sbaragli states, "Nothing makes me happier than seeing our guests dine on property and seeing them return day after day. However in a city and a region with such a rich and varied gastronomic tradition we thought that it was only fair to offer our guests some amazing alternatives. On many occasions, guests may find dining in the city a risky business. We want to eliminate that risk and ensure that when they are not on property guests will still have an exceptional Tuscan experience".
Some of the chosen partners of Il Salviatino are L'Antico Ristoro di' Cambi, famous for its Fiorentina T-Bone steak and Olio and Convivium, a gastronomic atelier in the Palazzo Capponi.

European Commission, UN Environment step up cooperation to protect the world's oceans 20/12/2016 00:00:00
Mushrooming Cooperation 05/12/2016 00:00:00
Acknowledging the need and opportunities for global-scale leadership by this region for the world´s environment, through the Los Cabos Declaration, the Ministers confirmed the Forum of Ministers of the Environment of Latin America and the Caribbean as one of the most relevant spaces for political and policy dialogue to establish and identify regional priorities. In preparation for the Upcoming United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) of the United Nations Environment Programme, the Ministers reiterated the importance of strengthening UNEP´s regional and subregional offices.
The 19th Meeting of the Forum, convened in Los Cabos, Baja California Sur, Mexico, offered its support to Peru in its capacity as President of the 20th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 20) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), to be held in Lima in December, and recognized the importance of ratifying the Amendment to the Kyoto Protocol as soon as possible.
The Ministers of the Environment also offered their support to Ecuador as President of the XI Meeting of the Conference of the Parties of the Migratory Species Convention, to be held in Quito, from 1 to 9 November.
"We have completely achieved the targets that we had set," stressed the Secretary of Environment and Natural Resources of Mexico, Juan José Guerra Abud, on the closing day of the meeting. "Mexico takes over the Chairmanship of this Forum for the next two years. We want the region to be very active in environmental issues. It is an opinion that must be taken into account. Mexico will be an appropriate speaker to convey the opinion of this region at all international fora," he added.
Achim Steiner, United Nations Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), expressed his gratitude to Secretary Juan José Guerra Abud and the Government and people of Mexico for having organized an "exceptional meeting, with an ambitious set of regional perspectives and with a level of participation that made it a special forum, bringing together the leaders of the region on the environment and attracting an unprecedented number of representatives and experts from the international community who are engaged in work on the environment and sustainable development in Latin America and the Caribbean."
UNEP was asked to support governments within the region in the development of work programmes to foster the sound management of chemicals and waste. The ministers also identified specific cooperation actions aiming to facilitate the implementation of the Minamata Convention on Mercury and reiterated the importance of mobilizing the necessary financial resources to strengthen global, regional and national efforts in order to comply with international instruments related to chemicals and waste.
In attendance were ministers, vice ministers and experts from 27 countries in the region, in addition to experts from 15 international agencies and global and regional leaders in the fields discussed during the meeting's ministerial dialogues.

Journey Into The?Wild
Backpacking. Everyone has a different take on it. Technically, it is walking through the woods with a backpack filled with food, sleeping gear, tent and all you need to survive. For some, this is the definition of insanity.
For me, backpacking strips life down to the essence. What do you really need in life? Food. Water. Shelter. Backpacking takes away all the extra stuff that we load ourselves down with: computers, televisions, volunteer commitments, homes, pets and the omnipresent cellphone.
What's left when you take those things away is who you really are, buried beneath the loads of things we add to our lives. Who would you be if you take away the veneer of civilization? What would you do to keep your mind occupied? How would you amuse yourself?
In some magical way, the weight of a backpack on my shoulders seems to take a load off my shoulders and chest at the same time. Backpacking creates a space of freedom where there are no responsibilities, no agendas, no big worries. While backpacking, I leave my life behind a little more with every step. Walking with a trail ahead of me and no particular destination in mind makes the whole world an adventure.
Logs become jungle gyms. Creeks become rivers to explore. Rocks become places to stop and climb and check out the view.
On one of my favorite backpacking trips, my wife and I hiked into the forest near the old growth forest in Tionesta, Pa. We camped near a creek out in the middle of nowhere. There were no campgrounds, no people. It was just the two of us and the porcupines.
By day, we explored into the ancient forest, staring in awe at giant trees that were already growing when Pennsylvania was first called Pennsylvania. Many of these giants had already fallen, leaving a criss-crossing network of 3-foot wide logs 100 feet long laying across the ground. The fallen trees provided a natural highway that we scampered across like squirrels.
By night, a young porcupine came to visit the camp. It was not used to people and sat quietly munching on some fallen Hemlock branches at the edge of our campsite.
It's hard to believe now, but my family was not big into camping and never into backpacking. My dad always said that he slept in a tent enough in the Army and didn't need to again for fun. Camping trips were to big cabins with a huge old station wagon full of stuff.
My first backpacking trip and my first tent camping happened on the same trip, on an ancient trail through the Andes created by the Inca. One night, while camped beside a tiny lake on the other side of a mountain pass far from anything, I slipped out of the tent. A rock by the lake was the perfect place to consider the future as the moon rose over the mountains and lit a brown, barren landscape. It was in those moments that my decision to become a naturalist was made.
Every backpacking trip has a different character, depending on the company and your mood. The longest trek I have ever made was a 70-some-mile hike on the Laurel Highlands trail in central Pennsylvania.
It was a five- or six-day hike with weather that went from hot to muggy to raining to chilly. Walking eight hours up and down hills on a trail that had turned into a creek could have been a miserable experience. Hiking with good friends and laughing through Rhododendron jungles and ankle deep water while stuffing our shirts with old yellow birch bark and hemlock to start a fire with at the end of the day was terrific fun on a day that could have been anything but.
It's worth a try if you have the time. Backpacking brings out the best in people as well as things that are less expected. Backpacking trips are filled with unexpected adversity, bursts of crazy creativity, adrenaline rushes and the unrelenting peace of the forest. It's a journey into the wilderness as well as a journey into yourself, where you find out exactly what you are capable of and what things in life you truly value.
We are lucky to live in an area with abundant opportunities for backpacking. There are some amazing places in the Allegheny National Forest to hike, including the North Country Trail. That trail runs through Allegany State Park, along the reservoir and all the way to Cook's Forest and beyond and has some wonderful campgrounds along the water.
Chautauqua County has the overland trails, east side and west side, that go through some of the most beautiful parts of the county. This area is filled with opportunities for backpacking. All you have to do is load up your pack and go.
If you don't have the gear, there are stores that specialize in backpacking in both Warren and Chautauqua counties, such as Evergreen Outfitters in Ashville and Allegheny Outfitters in Warren. There are also many groups of people out there backpacking all the time.
Jeff Tome is a naturalist with the Audubon Center and Sanctuary, located at 1600 Riverside Road, Jamestown. For more information on Audubon and links to other outdoor organizations, go to www.jamestownaudubon.org.

Ed's is good enough to schedule a few of the big boys but not good enough to scare off the large quantity of locals that will not play them anymore, what gives?BTW are there any schools in a 500 mile radius that play tougher schedules than Ed/Iggy, sheesh.

suitable for a lot of things. less sugar after this discovery
Posted by Reviewer1655742 on Jan 11, 2011
This was really good and I will be ordering more. I wish it was cheaper, but demand probably isn't very high for it considering not many people know about it. It's an excellent alternative sweetener, comparable to molasses. I used it in an upside-down spiced pear cake and everyone loved it!
Good product
Posted by Reviewer1830368 on Feb 01, 2011
I've only just started using it, but I'm very happy so far. Pleasant taste.
One of the healthiest sugar alternatives
Posted by Reviewer2170564 on Feb 12, 2011
If you like the syrup that leaks out of baked yams or sweet potatoes, you will like this as well. My family loves the taste and it is one of the best, and healthiest alternatives to sugar per our nutritionist. This root based sweetener is from Peru.
Yacon syrup
Posted by Reviewer1108364 on Feb 17, 2011
Great as sweetner! Im using it in chocolate, cooking, on panecakes etc. Tastes like syrup with a little acidulous taste

An allrounder

What a beauty!!
Babydog is beautiful!
I do like my Labs... easy to train and very loving. I also have a Golden Lab/Huntaway X... (I got pics of him too but my son was in all of the photos that 'Oz' was in and I don't like to put pictures of my kids in the 'general population internet'.)
We had a lab for many years, and absolutely loved her. Wonderful with the kids, but heaven help the stranger who tried to get into our yard. She was a lovey.
Ok, I promised not to look at yer kids.
I love this.
I do too. I like that, with luck, our dogs will grow old with us, and that they'll always feel more toward us than we deserve.
Dogs accept the needs of humans.
"Such short little lives our pets have to spend with us, and they spend most of it waiting for us to come home each day. It is amazing how much love and laughter they bring into our lives and even how much closer we become with each other because of them." ~ Josh Grogan

Interactive Travel Map|Text the Secretary|Trip PageAbout the Author: Katie Stanton serves as a Senior Advisor in the Secretary's Office of Innovation.
There's nothing quite like watching the Secretary's plane land. Seeing the U.S. Air Force Boeing 757 "blue and white" touch down is exhilarating, especially as someone who wanted to be a pilot as a kid. The moments before, though, represent a lot of hard work from many individuals working behind the scenes. Nick Merrill is no stranger to the combination of long-term preparation and rush of last minute details that go into planning a Secretary's trip. He's logged eight trips with the Secretary, and I had a chance to speak with him in Shanghai just before we departed for the airport.
I also spoke with Melissa Lan, a "Line Officer" who works on the Secretary's advance team. Melissa will be describing a typical work day for a "Line Officer" in a future blog post. When I spoke with Melissa, we were en route the airport to meet the Secretary's plane. A Foreign Service Officer who previously served as U.S. Embassy Beijing's Deputy Coordinator for the 2008 Summer Olympics, Melissa is a great expert on China, and I've enjoyed hearing her insights on the country.
Once we arrived to the airport, I had a chance to speak with Under Secretary of State for Economic, Energy and Agricultural Affairs Robert Hormats. Under Secretary Hormats serves as the senior economic official at the State Department, advises the Secretary of State on international economic policy, advances commercial diplomacy, and plays a key role in bilateral relations with America's economic partners. On May 23, Secretary Clinton will participate in a commercial diplomacy event in Shanghai to highlight U.S. market access and job creation. Bob is also a natural on camera!
Amidst the buzz at the airport, I also had a chance to speak with Jess Taylor, a very critical member of the team -- perhaps the most critical for those of us working long hours, still adjusting to the time change and unfamiliar with Shanghai. Jess works at the U.S. Consulate General in Shanghai. Aside from other duties, he found 30 hamburgers from Burger King in Shanghai and made sure they were ready and waiting for everyone working on the trip. Even though I'm a vegetarian and stuck with my granola bar, I was grateful he helped feed the crew.

Unlimited abortion
On January 22, we solemnly observe the 40th anniversary of the Supreme Court's tragic abortion decisions in Row v. Wade and Doe V. Bolton that created an unlimited abortion license. How could our nation – founded on Christian principles have gone so far astray?
There will be a holy hour with exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, rosary and prayers on Jan. 20 at 1:30 p.m. at St. Cecilia Church in Caspian.
Everyone is welcome. Join us to pray for the respect for life from conception until natural death.

ANAHEIM, Calif. – The Anaheim Ducks announced Wednesday that the National Hockey League (NHL) club has reassigned right wing Devante Smith-Pelly to the Norfolk Admirals, Anaheim's primary development affiliate in the American Hockey League (AHL).
Smith-Pelly did not make an appearance with Anaheim following his October 14 recall from Norfolk. In four games played with the Admirals this season, Smith-Pelly has posted two goals and a +2 rating. Both of his goals were shorthanded tallies, which currently leads the American Hockey League.
Smith-Pelly totaled three points (1g, 2a) in six preseason games with the Ducks last month. Last season, the 6-0, 222-pound forward totaled 32 points (14g, 18a) in 65 games played with the Admirals. In addition, Smith-Pelly went scoreless in seven appearances with the Ducks during the 2012-13 season.
The Scarborough, Ontario native was selected in the second round (42nd overall) of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. Smith-Pelly made his NHL debut with Anaheim in 2011-12, collecting seven goals and 13 points with 16 PIM in 49 contests. He appeared in his first contest with the Ducks at 19 years, three months and 23 days on Oct. 7, 2011, at Buffalo (Helsinki, Finland), becoming the third-youngest player to appear in an Anaheim uniform. In 56 career NHL games, Smith-Pelly has seven goals and 13 points with 16 PIM.
The Admirals will open up a two-game home set against the Albany Devils beginning this Friday, October 18 at 7:30 p.m. Friday's game is Military Appreciation Night, presented by USAA and all military personnel can receive an $11 ticket by presenting their valid military ID to the Scope Box Office. In addition, the first 1,500 fans will receive thundersticks courtesy of Tim Hortons. A lucky member of the military will walk away with a 32" LCD television courtesy of USA Discounters in our intermission shootout.
The two teams will meet again on Saturday (Oct. 19) at 7:15 p.m., which will feature a postgame skate with the Admirals players.
Game tickets are now on sale, and are available through the Norfolk Scope Box Office, all Ticketmaster Outlets, charge-by-phone at 1-800-745-3000 and online at ticketmaster.com. Stop by the Admirals' Administrative Offices at Scope, or call (757) 640-1212 Office hours are Monday - Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Fans can also visit us online at www.norfolkadmirals.com

After more than two years of working with the experts at our mill in Portugal, we're proud to offer a soft, smooth flannel that is truly pill resistant.Play
Ultrasoft Comfort Flannel Bedding
It took more than two years of work with our mill in Portugal, but we're finally ready to introduce our new pill-resistant Ultrasoft Comfort Flannel.
"The new L.L.Bean Ultrasoft Comfort Flannel is pill resistant, it is soft and comfortable," says Daniel Ribiero of the mill in Portugal. "It took us two years to have it fully controlled. So after many, many efforts from our side and with the tremendous knowledge of our workers we are able to come up with a product that is a premium flannel at a fantastic price."
The cozy, 100% cotton fabric is brushed on both sides for an extra soft hand. The plush fabric also resists shrinkage and is specially dyed —
the colors stay rich, vivid and bright —
and the 5 oz. weight is comfortable year-round.
We've tested every color and every pattern —
two dozen of them —
with more than 75 testers, to ensure the very best quality.
"The L.L.Bean Ultrasoft Comfort Flannel is a superb and first quality product, that's for sure," says Daniel. "Guaranteed."

OK, was I the only goofball there? Must be new rules or philosophy, the scrimmage was a practice. No more real game, Brown versus White. They ran the same type of drills as training camp...except the view could not be hidden by hiding in the corner of the practice fields.
I don't have much new info...but here's my blurbs.
Little droppped a routine catch for a TD then followed that up with an insane body twisting catch for a TD. Braylon like.
Francies looked good...but dropped a picked 6 after McCoy threw a pass behind Cribbs which he proceded to bobble and pop into the air.
McCoy is in love with the check down.
The TE drag with WR's going to the end line is our favorite redzone play.
Both QB's totally staring down the TE's.
Hillis dropped a few swing passes.
Hillis and Jackson double RB backfield looks very interesting.
Haden was really playing up to the crowds. He seems like a great guy. He didn't play. Neither did Hardesty.
Octavian the linebacker is totally a DE. The guy is huge. No one else sees that on the coaching staff?
That's it...my kids were being bad.

Interesting. Is it normal to have that much pooling of olive oil on a Margherita? I think I perfer the amount I use. Personal preference I suppose.Thanks for the pics!Don
The pooling of liquid is mostly water from the buffalo mozzarella.
First video of AM in action in the new place.
.This means you have to sauce quite lightly (especially if your going to go bannanas with the olive oil and flying in your buffala like UPN does). He was using Bubalis in New York so I assume he is continuing with that Scott ?
I have noticed that the Italian buffala has been especially good lately, but im not sure if thats just because it has been summer time and the beasts just have better stuff to graze on. That would be a good question for Roberto, David. It could also be that all the busts over there and the dioxin scandal has forced them them to get their act together.
I'm pretty sure that Roberto is still using Torrelupara which comes in frozen, no?
I'm pretty sure the first guy that's being interviewed is Justin (NJPizzaiolo) from la piazza al forno in Arizona.

Topic: rake about fails with rake aborted
I am a newbie to Ruby on Rails. Appreciate your patience. I was trying to run a demoapp downloaded from the Internet
and it fails, when I do a rake db:migrate. So I did a rake about. it gives the following error :
C:\work\FusionChartsBluePrintApp>rake about
WARNING: 'require 'rake/rdoctask'' is deprecated. Please use 'require 'rdoc/tas
k' (in RDoc 2.4.2+)' instead.

rake aborted!
Don't know how to build task 'about'
Interestingly there is no GEMFILE in the root directory of this demoapp.
Before I went too far with this, I wanted to understand what could be wrong and if there are any steps that need to be performed, after copying the directory structure of the demoapp.
I am running this on WINDOWS7 and have a working installation downloaded from railsinstall.org [ see below] and other demo apps work
◦Ruby 1.9.3-p125
◦Rails 3.2
◦Bundler 1.0.18
◦Git 1.7.6
◦Sqlite 3.7.3
◦TinyTDS 0.4.5
◦SQL Server support 3.3.3
What could be wrong ?

Aside from this Controversy- Closing the Topic
I guess we will never know if GSP intentionally knew the actions of his corner man. We will also never know if his corner man made a mistake or intentionally did it for GSP. We will know one thing for sure, that it will never happen again. BJ has filed an investigation against GSP's corner man, and nothing is going to happen to GSP. So that's that.
But back to fighting, I don't see anyone beating GSP for a LONG LONG TIME in the WW division. I see this hurting Dana, as it appears GSP has lost a lot of fans in the recent days and might affect good PPV numbers. Overall, I think most MMA fans are going to have to accept- greasy or not, that he will be on top of this division for a while.
I used to be a big fan, but am on the fence because i can never prove what GSP knew that night or what was in the mind of his cornerman. But I do know, that he is only 27 years old. If he continues to dominate everyone match after match, that the UFC once again lose fan base because people will just get tired of one sided fights.
So, my real question is who are the contenders that can dethrone GSP? I don't think Thiago has the ground game to compete with GSP.
The only other prospect is, as much as I hate to say it, Is Koscheck? Anyone else, maybe Dustin Hazlett?

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced today that Build-A-Bear Workshop Inc. (Build-A-Bear), of St. Louis, has agreed to pay a civil penalty of $600,000. The penalty settlement agreement has been provisionally accepted by the Commission.
The settlement resolves CPSC staff allegations that Build-A-Bear failed to immediately report a defect involving its toy bear beach chair that resulted in incidents and injuries to consumers. The sharp edges of the chair's folding wooden frame can pinch, lacerate or amputate a child's fingertip if the finger is caught between the frame as the chair is folded.
Build-A-Bear sold the beach chairs through its website and at Build-A-Bear stores between March 2001 and October 2008. The company became aware of 10 reports of injury between July 2007 and January 2009, yet did not report to the Commission until March 2009.
Federal law requires manufacturers, distributors and retailers to report to CPSC within 24 hours after obtaining information reasonably supporting the conclusion that a product contains a defect, which could create a substantial product hazard, creates an unreasonable risk of serious injury or death, or fails to comply with any consumer product safety rule or any other rule, regulation, standard or ban enforced by CPSC.
CPSC and Build-A-Bear announced a recall of about 260,000 beach chairs in May 2009.
In agreeing to the settlement, Build-A-Bear denies CPSC staff allegations as to the existence of a defect or hazard or that it violated the law.

nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical or
mechanical hazard. CPSC's work to help ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters and household
chemicals -– contributed to a decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 40 years.
