by Franco Mondini-Ruiz
UTSA, Current host 'This I Believe, This I Create' exhibit
By Tim Brownlee
Assistant Director of Public Affairs
(July 20, 2006)--UTSA and the San Antonio Current 20th Anniversary present the exhibit, "This I Believe, This I Create," from July 22 to Aug. 1 at the UTSA Downtown Campus gallery, Durango Building Room 1.122, 501 West Durango Blvd.
The exhibit will feature works by San Antonio artists Franco Mondini-Ruiz in a show titled "Gift with Purchase" and Mister Danny Geisler, whose show is titled "It's Not Easy Being Gringo." The event is the first in a series curated by UTSA art specialist Arturo Almeida.

An opening reception hosted by UTSA President Ricardo Romo and Dr. Harriett Romo is 5-7 p.m., Saturday, July 22 at the gallery. An espresso reception follows from 8 to 10 p.m. at Ruta Maya Riverwalk Coffeehouse, 107 E. Martin St.
"This I Believe, This I Create" is an ongoing UTSA project that will present art reflecting the core beliefs that guide artists' creativity. The name comes from the 1950s radio program, "This I Believe," created and hosted by journalist Edward R. Murrow. The program concept recently was revived by National Public Radio.
At the opening reception, Mondini-Ruiz' work will be introduced by artist Rolando Briseno and Geisler's work will be introduced by artist Daniel Guerrero. "Having artists talk about other artists' work is a key part of this series," said Almeida. "You don't often hear artists discuss the work of their peers, so that is an important part of this series."
The exhibit is free and open to the public. Gallery hours are 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday-Friday. For more information, contact Arturo Almeida at (210) 458-4983.
About the artists
According to San Antonio Current, the world of Mister Danny Geisler is "a wondrously surreal place... lined with heel-worn Astroturf and populated by jolly characters out of '50s grade school primers gone conspicuously awry... (He) revels in a self-induced state of functional lunacy, combining... graphic eloquence with a seriously kooky sense of humor."
"This exhibit features three full-sized dumpsters," said Geisler. "One has regular garbage, the second has a surprise and the third contains items you wouldn't ordinarily throw away on purpose. The idea behind this exhibit is that everything is garbage or debris. We have all of our possessions and the things we value, but eventually it's all thrown away." At the opening reception, he'll be giving out an audio CD with material related to the show.
Originally a graphic designer, Geisler has created art in San Antonio for more than 20 years. He is known for his annual "Peep Show," an installation featuring almost everything from his disorganized apartment moved into the Blue Star Contemporary Art Center's main gallery, including finished and unfinished paintings, moldy dishes, candy wrappers, dirty socks and dog hair, among other surprising items.
San Antonio native Franco Mondini-Ruiz lives and works in New York. He earned a law degree from St. Mary's University in San Antonio, but gave up his successful legal practice in 1995 to focus on art.
According to San Antonio writer Sandra Cisneros, Mondini-Ruiz "creates intricate vignettes composed of a vast array of found objects and knickknacks such as costume jewelry, plastic cakes and treats, used ice-cream cups, miniature ceramic figurines, cigarette butts and much more... but the real insight of his work is the ability to expose sober meaning through laughter."
In the artist's words, the exhibit will feature "a dazzling display of Mexican pastry sculpture... Mexican bakery meets Tiffany boutique." The artist will sell his book for $20 and include a small sculpture with each purchase. "I think it's important to make art accessible to everyone at reasonable prices, while also considering the artist's need to make a living," said Mondini-Ruiz. "This is an opportunity for new collectors to begin buying art. It's my gift to my favorite city, San Antonio."
He is best known for Infinito Botanica, a traditional Mexican herb, folk-healing and gift shop in San Antonio that he purchased and transformed into a piece of installation art. Since moving to New York, Mondini-Ruiz re-created the botanica in gallery spaces and museums, exploring the intersection of art, commerce and globalization in his installations and performance-based projects.
His work was featured at the 2000 Whitney Biennial, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art in San Diego and El Museo del Barrio in New York. He staged shows in Charlotte, N.C., San Antonio, St. Louis, Rome and Florence and received funding from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, ArtPace, the National Endowment for the Arts and the Rockefeller Foundation.

Rescue drama after Sherman Co. crash injures 2
Woman climbs up, flags down help; injured woman flown to Bend hospital
WASCO, Ore. - Two people were injured early Saturday morning when their car slid off a remote, icy highway east of Wasco in Sherman County and plunged about 150 feet down a steep embankment, Oregon State Police reported. Names and more details were released later Saturday.
The crash scene was discovered in the darkness when one of the car's occupants climbed up to the highway and flagged down a passing vehicle.
Numerous fire and rescue volunteers and police officers worked together to rescue those injured before they were taken to a local hospital.
Updated information indicated that around 4:45 a.m., three Condon residents were traveling eastbound on Highway 206 about 12 miles east of Wasco when a woman jumped in front of their vehicle, waving for help.
The woman, identified as Jeanne Moles, 26, of John Day, said her car was down the embankment where two others were injured, including a man and another woman who was partially pinned underneath the wreckage. Another man, Matthew Sagaser, 28, also of John Day, was not injured.
One of the people in the passing car climbed to a nearby hilltop and called 911 on her cell phone to report the crash.
Emergency responders, including many volunteers, responded to the scene within the next hour, including crews from South Sherman Fire Rescue, North Sherman Fire Rescue, Sherman County Rescue, Moro Rural Fire Rescue, Rufus Fire Rescue, Condon Ambulance, Sherman County Ambulance, the Sherman County Sheriff's Office and OSP.
All worked together to assist with removing and rescuing the two injured people, using a rappelling system that provided access to and from the car.
Airbags were taken down to the crash scene and used to lift the 2000 Oldsmobile four-door off the injured woman's head.
Using a pulley system, officers from OSP and SCSO worked with firefighters to hoist the injured woman and rescue personnel back up to the highway.
Right-rear passenger Jay Williams, 22, of Long Creek, was thrown from the car near the top of the embankment. He was treated for non-life-threatening injuries and released, troopers said.
Left-rear passenger Desiree Rutherford, 21, of Portland, was thrown and pinned under the car before being rescued.
After being taken to Mid-Columbia Medical Center, she was flown by air ambulance to St. Charles-Bend with serious injuries.
None of the four occupants were using seat belts, troopers said.
OSP Senior Trooper Mike Holloran expressed his thanks to the three Condon residents who reported the crash and the quick work of rescue personnel from multiple volunteer agencies who worked in difficult terrain and conditions.
"They may very well have saved the injured lady's life," said Holloran.
OSP is continuing the investigation.

Sounds good but I already have an extractor - one of yours!
Now if you were to extend the free shipping to bottling tanks I might bite.
I don't know if it will help your marketing in any way but you should know that the "best honey in Maine" as voted at the Maine State Beekeepers Annual Meeting, was extracted in a Maxant extractor.
Thats what I like to hear!
Whenever your ready for that bottling tank, give me a shout. I will take care of you!
I heard that Santa up there in Ayer, MA was planning to do the same for the Model 1400PL? Any truth to that rumor?
the problem with Maxant is they are built to well. That just doesn't happen these days. Manufactures want to see you again in a few years. My Maxant 30 frame is from the 70s and I'm the 4th owner. It will out last me.
I have to agree about the quality of the Maxant products. I have the 3100LP and it's a no- brainer. The new stand is rock solid. After I sold enough honey I invested in the Maxant 16gal bottling tank. I knew I wanted one and jumped on it at the NC State spring meeting. I keep it loaded and fill orders upon request with no problem. When it's cold outside, my honey is flowing!!! Thanks Jake, you were right , it's awesome.
free shipping AND no crate fees like manlake 18/9 radial ?
Crate fee? What is that?
We dont have handling fees, and crate fees.
Does that include Puerto Rico? I have been reading posts but haven't joined until today when I saw this offer!!! I need an extractor.
I can look into this, what is your zipcode?
According to UPS, its just a tad under $200
I will split the shipping with you.
Free shipping. MAN OH MAN. I drove 500 miles RT so I could avoid shipping and bought my MAXANT in OR. It was also tax free and luckily fit in the back of my highlander with 1/16th of an inch to spare.
I was there for work anyway. I have been buying anything over $100 in OR lately. Just came home tonight with 2 new sliding glass doors, Last trip was the Christmas presents. I am not giving my gov any more money to P!$$ away.
What, you don't want to help Christine out of her 6 billion dollar shortfall? I don't blame you though, especially after visiting King County today to buy a new pickup for the wife. Boy, your sales tax rate is outragous! Just an fyi, the department of revenue watches pretty heavily for construction materials coming across at Vancouver. I've seen some pretty sickened homeowners over the years when DOR pays them a home visit to collect un-paid sales tax. They go through county building permit offices quite regularly looking for offenders & I'm sure things will be worse now with tight budgets. They're really cracking down right now on residents for licensing their vehicles in Oregon. s
Warning about Maxant Honey Equipment!! If you buy their products they will last a lifetime. If you need to sell them they will sell immediately and probably for as much or more than you paid for it. Needless to say, my honey house is from Maxant! Free shipping would be the iceing on the cake.

Osgood-Schlatter disease can cause a painful lump below the kneecap in children and adolescents experiencing growth spurts during puberty.
Osgood-Schlatter disease occurs most often in children who participate in sports that involve running, jumping and swift changes of direction — such as soccer, basketball, figure skating and ballet.
While Osgood-Schlatter disease is more common in boys, the gender gap is narrowing as more girls become involved with sports.
Age ranges differ by sex because girls experience puberty earlier than do boys. Osgood-Schlatter disease typically occurs in boys ages 13 to 14 and girls ages 11 to 12. The condition usually resolves on its own, once the child's bones stop growing.
The pain associated with Osgood-Schlatter disease varies from person to person. Some have only mild pain while performing certain activities, especially running and jumping. For others, the pain is nearly constant and debilitating.
Osgood-Schlatter disease usually occurs in just one knee, but sometimes it develops in both knees. The discomfort can last from weeks to months and may recur until your child has stopped growing.
Call your child's doctor if knee pain interferes with your child's ability to perform routine daily activities. Seek medical attention if the knee is also swollen and red, or if the knee pain is associated with fever, locking or instability of the knee joint.
During activities that involve a lot of running, jumping and bending — such as soccer, basketball, volleyball and ballet — your child's thigh muscles (quadriceps) pull on the tendon that connects the kneecap to the shinbone.
This repeated stress can cause the tendon to pull away from the shinbone a bit, resulting in the pain and swelling associated with Osgood-Schlatter disease. In some cases, your child's body may try to close that gap with new bone growth, which can result in a bony lump at that spot.
The main risk factors for Osgood-Schlatter disease are:
Complications of Osgood-Schlatter disease are uncommon. They may include chronic pain or localized swelling. Even after symptoms have resolved, a bony lump may remain on the shinbone in the area of the swelling. This lump may persist to some degree throughout your child's life, but it doesn't usually interfere with knee function.
You'll likely first bring this problem to the attention of your family doctor or your child's pediatrician. He or she might refer you to a doctor who specializes in knee injuries or sports medicine.
Bring to the appointment a written list that includes:
Below are some basic questions to ask a doctor who is examining your child for possible Osgood-Schlatter disease. If any additional questions occur to you during your visit, don't hesitate to ask.
Your child's doctor is likely to ask a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may reserve time to go over any points you want to talk about in-depth. Your doctor may ask your child:
During the physical exam, your doctor will check your child's knee for tenderness, swelling, pain and redness. X-rays may be taken to look at the bones of the knee and leg and to more closely examine the area where the kneecap tendon attaches to the shinbone.
Osgood-Schlatter disease usually gets better without formal treatment. Symptoms typically disappear after your child's bones stop growing. Until that happens, your doctor may recommend mild pain relievers and physical therapy.
Over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol, others), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) or naproxen (Aleve) may be helpful.
A physical therapist can teach your child exercises to stretch the thigh's quadriceps and hamstring muscles, which may help reduce the tension on the spot where the kneecap's tendon attaches to the shinbone. Strengthening exercises for the quadriceps can help stabilize the knee joint.
It may help your child to follow these tips:

Louder. That's the name of R5's new album, and it's also how the band hopes you'll play their songs. Siblings Rocky, Ross, Rydel, and Riker Lynch started out singing for fun in their basement. When the young musicians added their friend Ellington Ratcliffe to the group, R5 was complete. The band met up with TFK Kid Reporter Max Seigel before their concert in Boston, Massachusetts. They talked about doing what they love most: making music.
How did you come together as a band?
When we were little, our mom always called us R4. We were always singing and dancing. Then we moved out to L.A., and we met [Ellington] Ratliff, [who] played drums. We started learning how to play guitar. Now we're R5.
When did each of you get into music?
Music was always in my family because my parents are performers, so it's always been in my blood. I started playing drums around [the age of] 11.
My dad loves Bruce Springsteen. When we were really little, he used to blast Bruce Springsteen and dance around with us. He was constantly playing music. My mom would play more theatrical stuff, so we got a good mix of classic rock and dancing music. We were always surrounded by music.
I've liked singing and dancing ever since I can remember, and I just loved performing for people. That was my favorite thing to do, and it still is.
When I was 10, I got really into the Phantom of the Opera soundtrack. I was always listening to that and watching the movie. Then I got into rock music.
Originally, my love [of music] formed because of their love of it. Then it sort of grew and took over my brain.
I heard it's always been your dream to be performers, but has it always been your dream to be in a band together?
We always knew we wanted to do it together. We used to dance together and sing together, and we'd always do plays together. We knew whatever we did, we wanted it to be together.
How would you describe the type of music you play?
I would say that our music is pop rock, and it's very guitar driven.
Your job seems really fun, but what has been the biggest challenge?
The biggest challenge is just time. There just aren't enough hours in the day, especially for me because I spend all week on [the Disney Channel show] Austin and Ally, and then I'll do night R5 rehearsal. So basically it's not a lot of free time.
What gave you the idea to name your album Louder?
We all have different personalities, but we go well together. One similar factor is that we're all just sort of loud people, so Louder just sort of fit because it sums up who we are.
What has been the best experience so far in your music careers?
One of the best experiences for me was playing Good Morning America because that was our first live-television experience, and it was really cool.
I think just traveling out of the county is really cool and being able to sell out shows is [too].
I'd have to agree that being able to sell out shows outside of the U.S. is insane. [So was] selling out the House of Blues in Los Angeles, which is where I've seen tons of concerts. We also headlined a music festival in Toronto with 16,000 people.
What is your favorite song on the album?
My favorite song is "Love Me Like That" because it's my only solo song in the album, and it's my first original song. It's super different than all the other songs in the album.
My favorite song on the album is "Ain't No Way We're Goin' Home" because it's really rockin', and it has a guitar solo. It's really fun to play.
My favorite song is "Forget About You" because lyrically it's very fun and clever.
I think "Cali' Girls" is my favorite because of the history behind it.
My favorite is "One Last Dance" because it was our first ballad, and it reminds me a lot of old Beatles songs. It's also very touching.
Is there a message you are trying to get across through your music?
The message is to live your life and have fun because life is just so short and obviously you're going to have tough times. But at the end of the day, if you can just get in a good mood, that's great.

I have recently been considering removing the word "local" from my market banners and business cards. I know many of us have been pushing local honey for several years now and it seems to have great marketing appeal. My problem is that several times a season, I have someone argue with me because they do not feel that my product falls into what they consider "local". I have tried to find an official definition of "local" in regard to honey and I get a BROAD range of answers.
I also know that many beekeepers market their honey to the health conscious for all manner of issues. Some of these uses have well documented backgrounds, others not so much; but have become so ingrained by hearsay that they are taken as fact. Are we missing entire demographics of customers by focusing so much on just the health benefits?
My business is large enough now that I have several honeys that are not commonly available from the smaller beekeepers in my area. People are often amazed at how different each honey tastes. I try to make an active effort to come up with recipes that showcase a particular honeys standout flavor. I am getting more and more people looking for honey for strictly culinary purposes.
Are others feeling that the general trend toward marketing local honey might be holding us back somewhat? I have suggested to others in our area that we might think of replacing "buy local honey" with "Support your local beekeeper" I often refer to beekeepers as "Farmers without farms" because so many of my hives are on others farms and I own so little acreage myself. I am sure many of you drive some distance to your hives.
Anybody else have any thoughts on this?

Where I stayed
St George Hotel
Woke up around 1 pm caught up on some work and went for a walk around the city. Zurich is incredible. Sitting on a giant lake surrounded by mountains. It was refreshing to see a quiet town with people walking dogs and just going about their business.
Speaking of business.....Pistol was just about to find out that he had been kicked off the tour. I think the drive from Paris to Zurich was the final nail in Pistol's coffin.
We had 1 daty off in Zurich so we all went out and had dinner and ended up at a pub drinkin whiskey, smoking cigars and watching football (soccer)
We ended the evening at the weirdest bar i had ever been to in my life. I dont remember the name or the location..all i remember is the place was filled with hookers and the greatest female phillipino german band i'd ever seen.
Pistol made his way out with a you lady, which we were all glad to see...but we werent interested at all. We just kept yelling out requests to the crazy band.
The next day was tough...really bad hangovers and the send off of Pistol Pete Head. We would miss him actually, but not his driving....
The show in Zurich was fantastic..Plenty of Spill fans came out to the venue.
After the show, we piled in the van and started our trip to Italy. A new driver, a new attitude but the same long uncomfortable drive.

Our web service expertise
Digital Marmalade has been building websites and online businesses for large and small companies for over 19 years.

Below is a brief introduction to the web services Digital Marmalade offer. Click deeper to find out how we have successfully helped companies like yours achieve and surpass their targets and how we can demonstrate a real return on your online investment.

The process involves understanding your business and your customers and how you interact together. The web solution then needs to fit with your business goals, internal resources and of course your budget. The website architecture needs to not only dove tail with your offer, but present itself in a manner that is commercial, on-brand, user-friendly and optimised for search engines.
How the website looks and performs on mobile devices is increasingly a major factor in designing websites; as is how your social media sites, blogs and email campaigns interlink and look. Click to see our website design portfolio and read our web design case studies.

content management systems
When building websites, one of the first questions you should ask is how your organisation is going to maintain it and keep the content fresh, whilst at the same time keeping the costs down. The solution is to deploy a content management system (CMS) for your site. You may have a website that needs different people or departments to manage differing sections. For example your commercial team need to manage your product or service pages; your PR team need to manage news and general updates; your marketing team need to manage your campaigns and social media initiatives; and your SEO team need to optimise the site for high search rankings. You may even have opened your site to the public to publish content and comments. Digital Marmalade will advise you on the best approach to suit your needs. Whether that be configuring an off the shelf CMS or deploying a customised content management solution (see Marmalade Suite below). See how we've built sophisticated websites with powerful, easy-to-use content management solutions.
We are very pleasantly surprised. The Chapel is a unique place and the website Digital Marmalade delivered reinforces and expands on our brand perfectly.

text: I prefer very thin thread in my bobbin at least a 70wt. WonderFil is 100wt and is great. I can use a 50wt 3 ply thread, like Connecting Threads Cotton when I use a thin thread in the bobbin. There are a lot of thin thread brands to choose. There are so many good brands of thread being manufactured now. Glide by FilTec is a new favorite of mine. For applique I use YLI silk thread because I have a lot of it and my stitches don't show with the silk thread. I use the silk thread for handsewing bindings on my quilts. Superior now has silk thread in many colors. I love silk thread.

Yeah since the other newbie introduced himself, I might as well do the same. I've been reading posts on this forum for a while now. I thought it was time I started giving my 2 cents regularly.
I've lived in NJ 24 of my 29 years. Always close to the Stadium. Would you believe I've never been to a Giants game? My resolution this year is to make that happen!

Let me tell you the story of a kid who got frustrated with a gaming situation, and instead of going on the 'net and finding cheat codes… he programmed his way out of the quandary! Nate Herman is a Harvard sophomore and in June he released the app Gameception, which provides a playing platform for Doom for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touch. Although the app was mainly intended for iPhones, my kids play-tested Gameception's Doom module on our iPad, because we are iPhone-less. I also interviewed Nate to find out more about his experience and motivations in creating Gameception.
When you start up Gameception, you see the default game, Freedoom, but the app actually includes links to download several other games, such as the quirky and non-violent Chex Quest (yes, Chex cereal). Doom itself is a first-person shooter vs. zombies, serpent men, cyborgs, and demons. No human targets bleed but the player is shooting from a first-person perspective, and the player can die. There are many mods (modifications) for Doom that populate the world with characters and quirks from other fictional universes, such as Aliens, Star Wars, The X-Files, The Simpsons, Dragon Ball Z, Pokémon and Batman, and many, many more.
To be playable with Gameception, any mod must operate via PrBoom-compatible .WAD file: a form of compatible data file, allowing imports of a played game (including earned levels, users, etc.) or games distributed on the web using this format — prBoom-compatibly built .WAD ("Where's All the Data"). The app's Help explains what is compatible and the how you can import using Dropbox or iTunes.
I don't play video games, but my college-age kids make up for my shortcomings in this area. They did the testing for this review. Although we don't have any iPhones, they tested on an iPad. They had fun, giving high marks for authentic Doomness. They particularly liked the graphics and environment. My son said waiting in lines and riding the train would be more entertaining with Gameception on a phone. He suspected that the controls might be a little easier to use on a phone's keypad rather than the iPad. I was sitting near him during much of the testing and heard his typical threats and celebrations uttered towards the screen, so it definitely sounded like successful gaming.

I removed the queen, 1/3 of the bees and most of the young brood from a hive. 6 hours later introducing 18 grafted queen cups. 4 days later (today) I went in to check the cells and found 7 of 18 had been cared for and capped (not my best percentage but not bad for my 3rd time). Also to my surprise, I found 3 natural queen cups with an egg in each.
I KNOW there isn't a queen in the hive.
There's no other sign of a queen (no other eggs).
Can a worker do this in such a short period of time (4 days) without a queen?

Minutes after being released from jail man is killed by alleged drunk driver
He was headed home to surprise his family for the holiday, says victim's sister
EL PASO, Texas - In the Upper Valley, a family's home is decorated for the Christmas holiday and on a special place above the fireplace mantel, three stockings hang, one for each member of the Zambrano family.
Jaime Zambrano shared a home with his older sister and their father. Even though Jaime wasn't expected to be home for Christmas, his stocking was strung up, with his name in silver glitter on it.
Dolores Zambrano said she always looked forward to hearing her brother's laugh, especially, during the holiday.
"Jamie was a very gregarious person. He had a very loud laugh that we're all going miss," said Dolores.
Dolores didn't know it, but it appeared Jaime was going to not only make it home in time for Christmas, he was going to be a few days early and surprise the family.
Within five minutes, that all changed.
Jaime was released from the East Montana Jail Annex at 12:30 a.m. Monday after being incarcerated since August.
Less than five minutes later he was hit by an alleged drunk driver and would later die, police said.
According to police, at about 12:34 a.m. 34-year old Justin Marks drove a 2002 Buick Park Avenue with 33-year-old Jaime as his front right seat passenger in the 12400 block of Montana.
Marks had just pulled out of a private parking lot onto westbound Montana. At the same time 27-year-old Jeffery Henigan drove a 2012 Chevrolet Camaro westbound on Montana
Police said Henigan's Camaro struck the Buick from behind at a high rate of speed and that he was allegedly intoxicated at the time of the collision.
Both occupants of the Buick, Marks and Jaime, were transported to area hospitals where Jaime died from his injuries. Marks suffered only minor injuries.
Dolores said she got a call from Marks between 1 a.m. and 1:30 a.m.
"I was very surprised just to hear that (Jaime) was out early, and then to hear that he was in an accident,and then later to know that he was gone," said Dolores.
Dolores said Jaime had, "a little history of trouble," but was headed towards a fresh start. According to Dolores, he was in the process of getting his commercial driver's license and wanted to pursue a career as a truck driver upon his release.
Jail records show Jaime was incarcerated on August 22, 2012 for possession of a controlled substance. His 180-day-sentence would have kept Jaime behind bars until February 2013.
"We had no idea he was going to come home early. He didn't call us," said Dolores. "I think that he was going to surprise us for Christmas and, well, I guess he just didn't quite make it."
Henigan was arrested on one count of Intoxicated Manslaughter. During a subsequent inventory of Henigan's vehicle, investigators located a handgun and have added an additional charge of Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon. Henigan, a Fort Bliss soldier, was booked into the El Paso County Detention Facility under a total bond of $51,500.
"I don't know what will happen to (Henigan)," said Dolores. "I'm just very sad to know not only my family, but he and his family will never be the same again."

Luiz Felipe Scolari admits his decision to turn down the England job still weighs heavily on his conscience.
Scolari takes on England in the first game of his second spell as Brazil manager tomorrow.
The 64-year-old could have been sitting in the home dugout had history taken a different course. Six-and-a-half years ago the Football Association (FA) approached Scolari asking him if he was interested in taking over from Sven Goran-Eriksson after the 2006 World Cup.
The Brazilian, then contracted to Portugal, seemed interested initially, but he then pulled out of the running, citing media intrusion as the reason for his withdrawal.
Scolari gave the FA an immediate reminder of his talents when he knocked the Three Lions out of the World Cup in the quarter-finals in Germany, and he admits the decision to turn down the chance to succeed Eriksson still "hurts" to this day.
"Of course it hurts," said Scolari, who went on to manage Chelsea two years later.
"It hurts a lot because I would have loved to have been the manager of the England team. Who wouldn't? It's a wonderful national team.
"When I was invited to be national coach of England, when we sat down I still had a contract with the Portuguese national team and I was not willing to break that contract.
"It was my duty to fulfil it. Imagine what it would have been like when we played each other in 2006 and I had signed that contract with England."
Although England have found stability under Roy Hodgson, Scolari knows all about the unpredictable nature of international football.
Should the Three Lions be on the lookout for a new coach in the future, it appears Scolari would be interested in taking over the reigns.
"Who knows what will happen. One day, maybe," Scolari added with a smile.
"I wish all the best for the English players and their manager on their path to innovation."
Roman Abramovich appointed Scolari as Chelsea manager in 2008 with the hope that he could marry success with Samba football.
The former Portugal manager's reign started well, but his team suffered a mid-season collapse and he was fired by Chelsea's owner after just over six months in charge.
Abramovich's ruthless approach to dismissing managers has continued since, but Scolari today refused to criticise the Russian.
"I had a marvellous time in London. I loved it," Scolari said.
"I hope I will have the opportunity tomorrow to talk to Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole.
"What is happening right now (at Chelsea), I don't have any opinion on."
Talk of a "golden generation" was rife around the England team in 2006. Lampard, Steven Gerrard, John Terry and Rio Ferdinand were all in their prime when they lined up against Scolari's Portugal in Gelsenkirchen.
Yet those players, and their successors, have failed to live up to expectations ever since.
Scolari was therefore loathe to agree with the idea that England's new crop of players are capable of succeeding where their predecessors have failed.
"All the great national teams will always remain great nations teams, but they all have past times of innovation like England is currently going through," he said.
"That is why they might be in a difficult situation currently.
"But I do admire the pedigree amongst their players. And the Premier League gives them all the opportunity to have a great national team."
Scolari is under immense pressure to succeed following his re-appointment as head coach.
He won the 2002 World Cup with Brazil, knocking England out in the process, but the most successful international country of all time has struggled ever since.
Scolari hopes to bring the glory years back, however, and insists his men can win a sixth World Cup when the competition comes to Brazil next summer.
He said: "In 2013 we will have 12 or 13 games. It's important we get settled now. We want fans to get fascinated about our big goal, which is to be champions in 2014."
Chelsea defender David Luiz will have a test on his calf injury before Scolari decides whether he plays tomorrow's match.

Dave Gibson scores a 9.6 with his new Song - "King Me"
Dave Gibson endorses Voyage-Air guitars, and he's a well-known singer and songwriter on the Nashville circuit.
Dave Gibson, the lead singer from the Gibson Miller Band, rose to the top of the charts with "Texas Tattoo", "Big Heart", "Red White and Blue Collar" and "Mama Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys." Not only that, the songs he wrote for other artists did as well. Billboard #1 songs like "Queen Of Memphis" & "Daddy Never was the Cadillac Kind" (Confederate Railroad), Joe Diffie's "Ships That Don't Come In" and Alabama's "Jukebox In My Mind" and the #2 song by Montgomery Gentry "Lonely & Gone" ... these are just a few of the hit songs written by Dave.
So Get This: today, the top Nashville radio station WSIX played his new song: "King Me" - where on that track, Dave played, sang and performed this song. Listeners were invited to call-in and vote for how they liked the song. The result? Callers/Listeners ranked this new song a 9.6 on a scale of 10. Whoa!
Dave Gibson depends on his Voyage-Air guitar to pull the ultimate tone and harmonics when he plays a tune, and he used this same Voyage-Air guitar for this recording.

Have the ability to make your ID avatar with your Avatar from home. Kind of like when you browse your friends in PSHome and it shows a little square with a picture of them in the corner with the background of their current location. Here's what my forum version would look like.
I couldn't get a good image of the PlayStation X Bar ID version (your friends list from your PlayStation) to edit my picture in, but I would like to be able to add PSHome avatar there, too.

Arcade Cabinets
How about arcade cabinets that have two line-ups of prizes? One set of prizes for the owner of the cabinet and one set for their guests. The owner cannot collect the guest prizes unless they are a guest at someone else's personal space or clubhouse.
I think that this could encourage the sale of such cabinets and help with our social interactivity. If it can be done,it might be appreciated.
Re: January 2013 Suggestions
Just going to post this again sorry I'm pretty sure I already posted this but, a great idea would be an uproar personal space and or club. This allows for friends to play against each other and posibilities with such a space are endless. One could have a fixed map or a customizable map either way it would be a hot selling space. I know personally xp doesn't matter so for me its just being able to play uproar with just my friends.
Re: January 2013 Suggestions
Always thought the Home Quests were unique, scavenger hunt games which are entertaining and fun with friends... Was let down when they stopped them... Happy they got rid of people posting their comments as a quest for girls/guys/cards/money/sex.... I assume there's a new crew making them, a new learning curve and so on, which is fine just hope they make them on a regular basis again..
Be nice to submit a suggestion / idea for quests? Get the community involved but not via the Activity Board or Suggestions? Something classified, hush hush...... Rewards: Up to the staff

Costa Rica: Ecotourism and Sustainability on the Caribbean Coast
Costa Rica is a study in contrasts. In the last decade Costa Rica has become an immensely popular tourism destination, known for its stunning scenery, abundant natural resources and diverse wildlife. With its extensive network of national parks, Costa Rica is at the forefront of the international conservation movement and has become synonymous with "ecotourism": socially responsible travel that theoretically conserves the environment while improving the welfare of local people.
With this reputation, it is not surprising that tourism has become Costa Rica's most important source of revenue. Unfortunately, the country's heavy reliance on tourism has resulted in serious social and environmental problems; the extensive development of natural areas for tourism has caused the destruction of ecosystems and the displacement of local people whose livelihood depended on those natural resources. The government's insistence on attracting foreign investors has promoted unrestrained development of beach resorts and real estate projects. This, in turn, has produced conflicts over land and water resources with peasants and local communities.
The sexual exploitation of local women and children constitutes yet another distressing repercussion of Costa Rica's unregulated tourist industry. This county's natural wealth, ironically, has also led to other environmentally destructive ventures. Oil exploration threatens to destroy fragile coastal ecosystems. Multinational fruit companies and US corporate backed cattle industries are responsible for a deforestation rate in Costa Rica second to none. The government's open door policy to foreign investors promotes bioprospecting and the spread of genetically modified crops, activities that not only place the country's biodiversity in danger but also affect the local communities' health.
Join Global Exchange as we explore the advantages and disadvantages of a tourism-based economy. As we travel across this naturally rich and strikingly beautiful country, we will examine the social and environmental problems facing Costa Ricans and meet the important players who are creating sustainable solutions. The local solutions to these challenges will inspire our action and involvement with these issues.

Erectile dysfunction (impotence) is the inability to get and keep an erection firm enough for sex.
Having erection trouble from time to time isn't necessarily a cause for concern. If erectile dysfunction is an ongoing issue, however, it can cause stress, affect your self-confidence and contribute to relationship problems. Problems getting or keeping an erection also can be a sign of an underlying health condition that needs treatment and a risk factor for heart disease down the road.
If you're concerned about erectile dysfunction, talk to your doctor — even if you're embarrassed. Sometimes, treating an underlying condition is enough to reverse erectile dysfunction. In other cases, medications or other direct treatments might be needed.
Erectile dysfunction symptoms might include persistent:
A family doctor is a good place to start when you have erectile problems. See your doctor if:
You're likely to start by seeing your family doctor or a general practitioner. Depending on your particular health concerns, you might go directly to a specialist — such as a doctor who specializes in male genital problems (urologist) or a doctor who specializes in the hormonal systems (endocrinologist).
Because appointments can be brief and there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well-prepared. Here's some information to help you get ready and know what to expect from your doctor.
Take these steps to prepare for your appointment:
For erectile dysfunction, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
In addition to your prepared questions, don't hesitate to ask additional questions during your appointment.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Be prepared for questions such as these:
For many men, a physical exam and answering questions (medical history) are all that's needed for a doctor to diagnose erectile dysfunction and recommend a treatment. If you have chronic health conditions or your doctor suspects that an underlying condition might be involved, you might need further tests or a consultation with a specialist.
Tests for underlying conditions might include:
Ultrasound. This test is usually performed by a specialist in an office. It involves using a wandlike device (transducer) held over the blood vessels that supply the penis. It creates a video image to let your doctor see if you have blood flow problems.
This test is sometimes done in combination with an injection of medications into the penis to stimulate blood flow and produce an erection.
Overnight erection test. Most men have erections during sleep without remembering them. This simple test involves wrapping a special device around your penis before you go to bed.
This device measures the number and strength of erections that are achieved overnight. It can help to determine if your erectile dysfunction is related to psychological or physical causes.
Mayo Clinic offers a full range of tools for evaluating erectile dysfunction. Doctors will likely perform a physical exam and blood and urine tests. They might also use a sexual health questionnaire to help understand your problem.
Some men might require specialized tests. Mayo Clinic provides both noninvasive and invasive testing for erectile dysfunction, which can include:
The first thing your doctor will do is to make sure you're getting the right treatment for any health conditions that could be causing or worsening your erectile dysfunction.
Depending on the cause and severity of your erectile dysfunction and any underlying health conditions, you might have various treatment options. Your doctor can explain the risks and benefits of each treatment and will consider your preferences. Your partner's preferences also might play a role in your treatment choices.
Oral medications are a successful erectile dysfunction treatment for many men. They include:
All four medications enhance the effects of nitric oxide — a natural chemical your body produces that relaxes muscles in the penis. This increases blood flow and allows you to get an erection in response to sexual stimulation.
Taking one of these tablets will not automatically produce an erection. Sexual stimulation is needed first to cause the release of nitric oxide from your penile nerves. These medications amplify that signal, allowing men to function normally. Oral erectile dysfunction medications are not aphrodisiacs, will not cause excitement and are not needed in men who get normal erections.
The medications vary in dosage, how long they work and side effects. Possible side effects include flushing, nasal congestion, headache, visual changes, backache and stomach upset.
Your doctor will consider your particular situation to determine which medication might work best. These medications might not fix your erectile dysfunction immediately. You might need to work with your doctor to find the right medication and dosage for you.
Before taking any medication for erectile dysfunction, including over-the-counter supplements and herbal remedies, get your doctor's OK. Medications for erectile dysfunction might not work or might be dangerous if you:
Other medications for erectile dysfunction include:
Alprostadil self-injection. With this method, you use a fine needle to inject alprostadil (Caverject Impulse, Edex) into the base or side of your penis. In some cases, medications generally used for other conditions are used for penile injections on their own or in combination. Examples include papaverine, alprostadil and phentolamine.
Each injection generally produces an erection that lasts about an hour. Because the needle used is very fine, pain from the injection site is usually minor.
Side effects can include bleeding from the injection, prolonged erection (priapism) and formation of fibrous tissue at the injection site.
Alprostadil urethral suppository. Alprostadil intraurethral (Muse) therapy involves placing a tiny alprostadil suppository inside your penis in the penile urethra. You use a special applicator to insert the suppository into your penile urethra.
The erection usually starts within 10 minutes and lasts between 30 and 60 minutes. Side effects can include pain, minor bleeding in the urethra and formation of fibrous tissue inside your penis.
If medications aren't effective or appropriate in your case, your doctor might recommend a different treatment. Other treatments include:
Penis pumps. A penis pump (vacuum erection device) is a hollow tube with a hand-powered or battery-powered pump. The tube is placed over your penis, and then the pump is used to suck out the air inside the tube. This creates a vacuum that pulls blood into your penis.
Once you get an erection, you slip a tension ring around the base of your penis to hold in the blood and keep it firm. You then remove the vacuum device.
The erection typically lasts long enough for a couple to have sex. You remove the tension ring after intercourse. Bruising of the penis is a possible side effect, and ejaculation will be restricted by the band. Your penis might feel cold to the touch.
If a penis pump is a good treatment choice for you, your doctor might recommend or prescribe a specific model. That way, you can be sure it suits your needs and that it's made by a reputable manufacturer. Penis pumps available in magazines and sex ads might not be safe or effective.
Penile implants. This treatment involves surgically placing devices into both sides of the penis. These implants consist of either inflatable or semirigid rods. Inflatable devices allow you to control when and how long you have an erection. The semirigid rods keep your penis firm but bendable.
Penile implants are usually not recommended until other methods have been tried first. Implants have a high degree of satisfaction among men who have tried and failed more-conservative therapies. As with any surgery, there's a risk of complications, such as infection.
If your erectile dysfunction is caused by stress, anxiety or depression — or the condition is creating stress and relationship tension — your doctor might suggest that you, or you and your partner, visit a psychologist or counselor.
For many men, erectile dysfunction is caused or worsened by lifestyle choices. Here are some steps that might help:
Before using any supplement, check with your doctor to make sure it's safe for you — especially if you have chronic health conditions. Some alternative products that claim to work for erectile dysfunction can be dangerous. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued warnings about several types of "herbal viagra" because they contain potentially harmful drugs not listed on the label. The dosages might also be unknown, or they might have been contaminated during formulation.
Some of these drugs can interact with prescription drugs and cause dangerously low blood pressure. These products are especially dangerous for men who take nitrates.
Whether the cause is physical, psychological or a combination of both, erectile dysfunction can become a source of mental and emotional stress for you and your partner. Here are some steps you can take:

I believe that there is a scam going on on CL. it involves vehicles for sale and I have now seen 2 of the same replies with different names and about different jeeps I wanted to look at. The jeeps were listed in MI and near me. when I contacted the seller stating that I want them to call me so I can go look at the jeeps I received the reply below stating that it is not in MI anymore and would have to be shipped but ebay would be handling the CL transaction for buyer protection. In the reply they also described each individual jeep but this is basically what both replies looked like.
Thanks for being interested in buying my 1997 Jeep Wrangler.It has been garage kept and well cared for with many aftermarket parts. The Jeep has a very strong inline 6cyl. motor that could pull down a house. It also comes with a 4in lift, suspension upgrades and 33in Superswampers that are practically new. I have added a Alpine CD player with Ipod connection, amp, 2X 10in. subs, and a Pioneer overhead speaker bar. There are plenty of pictures so you can see just how clean this jeep really is. On top of everything that I've mentioned, it also has a K&N air filter, KC lights and an upgraded tubestyle front bumper. Come with spire tire and soft top.
The price is not negotiable $2,760.00 firm.
I want to take the opportunity to assure you that this deal is 100% legitimate, the financial part of this deal will be managed by the eBay's buyer protection program (They are acting like a third party in our deal).Which means that the payment will be handling by eBay and you will benefit of 15 inspection time period and the option to accept or reject the car on my expense. The payment is going to be send to one of eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection agent, funds will be placed on hold until you receive and inspect the car. In case you don't like the car (is not our situation) you will ship it back at my cost and receive a full refund from eBay employee. Payment will be released to me only with your approval...
The car will be shipped from Baytown, Texas on my expense and will be delivered directly to your door in 4-5 days.
Here are the pictures with the car: http://s1042.photobucket.com/albums/b42 ... =slideshow
(if the above link does not work copy and paste it into a new web browser window)
I can provide VIN # to check on your own, also I can send you more details too but please get back to me asap if you have cash money and if you are ready to buy.
Thank you,

Fundraising concert to benefit local entertainer
BRISTOL, Va. - You may have seen his magic or watched him pick a tune with the VW Boys -- either way, Dave Vaught has made a lot of talented friends along the way and they're inviting you to come out for an event to help him.
Vaught is undergoing medical treatments for precancerous cells found in his esophagus. Money raised from the event will go towards his medical bills.
The fundraiser will be at the Cameo Theatre in Bristol, Virginia this Friday, June 7, at 7:30 p.m. Below is a press release from fellow VW Boy Tim White.
"Dave Vaught has many friends in the entertainment world who are donating their time and talents to help him raise money for medical treatments he is undergoing for pre-cancer cells in his esophagus. A fundraising concert is scheduled at the Cameo Theatre in Bristol, Virginia this Friday, June 7th at 7:30 pm.
Dave is a founding member of the VW Boys playing guitar and singing. He is also a professional magician who has brought joy the literally tens of thousands of people, especially children over the past three and a half decades. He has worked extensively in the public school system with the "Dare Program" to help fight drugs with our youth.
Dave and his wife Wendy are working through some difficult times right now. Dave has been diagnosed with Barrett's Esophagus. Here is the description:
Barrett's Esophagus - Intestinal Metaplasia with high-grade Dysplasia, "Cancer cells of the Esophagus". Barrett's esophagus increases the risk of developing Esophageal Adenocarcinoma, ( a specific type of cancer) The first procedure was done with a knife to cut a mass out, the next procedure will be done with a Laser to burn the remaining cancer cells. Several of these procedures will be needed over the next 12 months.
Even though Dave has some medical insurance it will not support all of his treatments and of course his out of pocket deductibles. Also Dave has experienced loss of time at work...and he does work for himself as his sole employee.
Scheduled to appear on the Dave Vaught Benefit Concert this Friday at the Cameo Theatre are David Browning as the Mayberry Deputy, the VW Boys, Trey Hensley, Robby Spencer, Jeff "Johnny Cash" Tankersley, Mack Puckett, Phil Fox, Bob Clymer, Tony Collins, Kenneth Junkin and Lightnin Charlie.
Donations will be accepted at the door for the fundraising concert. Additional information is available at www.vwboys.com.
Also, Dave asks that you all keep him and his wife Wendy in your prayers.
Thank you."

Khalil Bendib
Khalil Bendib is the janitor -- or minesweeper -- of political cartooning in America. Potentially explosive issues avoided by other cartoonists, such as racial injustice, labor and class struggles, U.S. imperialism, environmental degradation, the scapegoating of Muslims and Arabs and the complicity of our Orwellian media are all grist to his mill.

Mr. Bendib is also co-host of the KPFA weekly radio show "Voices of the Middle East and North Africa" www. and is frequently on the road giving talks and presentations on matters of political cartooning, media censorship and Middle East/North Africa issues.

TORONTO - Element Financial Corp. (TSX:EFN) said Thursday that it has signed a deal to buy equipment leasing and financing company Nexcap Finance Corp. for $20 million plus debt.

The purchase will be financed from Element's current cash and the assumption of Nexcap's existing debt facilities.
The deal, which is subject to regulatory approval, is expected to close by Jan. 28.
Element shares were up four cents at $6.90 on the Toronto Stock Exchange on Thursday.

When i got my XD 45 it was during a S&W m&p 45 promo but i had my heart set on the XD. So i pasd on th S&W. Both are nice. I later owned a tactical XD 40 which i really liked. So i too say XDs are great.
Ruger has always been one of my favs for revolvers. I own one now. Plus i own a MK II 22. Love em both. The only otgee semi auto ruger i owned was a P89 45. Didnt much like it. Since then ive never personally liked their semi autos.
Lots of people do though, so to each hia own.
I think you should lean more towards the other 2 tho. The m&p has interchangeable grip parts. The bacstrap swaps out to accomoodate hand sizes. You may like that since u have bannanna hqnds like me. Theyre both nice. I would feel them and gauge for yourself.

Raider Rash is a slang term for STDs; since Texas Tech University is known for its high STD rate (one in four people have STDs at Texas Tech,) and its mascot is the "Red Raider."
Kristi got drunk at a party; then she decided to have unprotected sex, and now she has gotten the Raider Rash.
by LBK Jew April 26, 2006
Raider Rash is strand of STD's which comes from Lubbock, Texas. The disease is airborne but can also be contracted from bestiality (or similar animal looking creatures). It has side effects of painful urination, pustules around the genitalia, denial (see above), and will decrease GPA to a 1.0 which is still above average at the University of Texas Tech. The only cure is to quarantine infected areas (Lubbock) from the rest of the world.
Guy 1-"Hey do you want to go to Lubbock this weekend?"
Guy 2-"No, you can get Raider Rash by just being in their presence."
Guy 2-"No, you can get Raider Rash by just being in their presence."

Does not exist. Its a rumor that started because people will believe anything they hear. Texas tech STD rate is about 5% a year which is consistent with all the other Big 12 schools.

If one were to conduct an experiment to see if survivor bees could indeed survive the twin scourges of Nosema and Varroa without the use of chemical treatments AND beekeeper intervention, what would the experiment look like?
Would it be a legitimate test of the bees ability to survive if they are kept on large cell comb (with underlying plastic foundation)?
Does anyone know (and can they share what they know) of commercially available "survivor" queens that are free from possible/probable AHB influence? (I understand Purvis is taking orders for 2012)
Is it reasonable to posit that bees of survivor stock can be used in place of non-survivor stock bees - the primary difference in beekeeper handling being that no chemical treatments and/or manipulations in lieu of chemical treatments are used - that otherwise the bees are kept as the non-survivor bees are - and still produce a honey crop?
Thanks in advance for thoughtful responses.
