Mom Abandons Kids, Gets Naked, Eats Ice Cream After Car Crash
Well, that's a headline I never thought I would have to write. But, it's true. A mother in Texas got into an accident with a city bus, then abandoned her kids, got naked, and ate ice cream. Obviously, she's a good candidate for mother of the year.
The 34-year-old Houston mother of three, Stephanie Dillard has been arrested for child endangerment.
Houston police told KPRC that Dillard's children, agest 5, 12, and 16 were in the car with her when her with it collided with a city bus last Friday. All of the kids were shaken up and suffered some minor injuries. The 5-year-old had to be treated for a large gash over one eye.
It's not so much the wreck that is news-worthy, however. It's what she did after. Apparently, directly following the accident, Dillard got out of her car and walked away, leaving her children in the car. She then went to a nearby drugstore, and began stripping off her clothes while she ate ice cream.
Police were, understandably, called to the scene. When they attempted to arrest Dillard, she put up a fight.
The children have been turned over to the custody of their grandmother.
Police say that they haven't figured out what caused Dillard's strange behavior.

This is it! The piece de resistance, the creme del le creme, the number one game on a forgotten system,Shenmue. Many fans of the game, still hoping to see the now evident, non existing finale of this acclaimed series somehow make a comback on todays generation, but from the years of yesteryear, we can still enjoy the first chapter of what would of been the greatest epic in video gaming history.
In Shenmue you star as Ryo Hazuki, a spirited teenager who wishes to avenge the death of his father by the hands of a mysterious man named Lan Di. Ryo, swearing vengence on his fathers death, goes on en epic journey to hunt down Lan Di. He travels through Yokosuka, taking jobs, making money, and fighting his way to gain access to Lan Di.
The story has the makings of an epic story, the great hero avenging the father from evil. This is perhaps it's greatest strength, besides the revolutionary gameplay setting it created back in 1999. Although it is unfortanate that we will never see the ending to this storyline as it should have been, Shenmue is a game that is memorable for many reasons.
The first is the free-roaming, MMORPG esque gameplay that lets you immerse yourself into a world that Ryo is in. The game simulates real-time very well with a day and night system, busy workplaces, character routines, and special "Fast Action Button smash" moments intermixed with the gameplay. To put it simply, there is so much to do that is not part of the storyline, and it is almost all worth trying once.
This seamless blend of story and real life also has it's own perks. For example, getting a job may lead you to more than money, but also closer to Lan Di. You also have access to special little prizes that, while never affect gameplay at all, are neat to collect, sell for money, and even view, as they show a history of SEGA made games, from Virtua Fighter to NiGHTS.
In fact, the fighting system the game uses is based off the Virtua Fighter layout, so similar moves will be noticable here. The system is well made, and makes the games faster moments exciting, as you can punch, grab, kick and parry various attackers, sometimes fighting five thugs at once. Combos can be done with quick button sequences and movements on the Dreamcast controller, and you can even learn new moves during the course of your quest from various disciplines of jujistu, tai-chi, and tae-kwan-do, just to name a few.
The game is also one of the more beautiful Dreamcast titles out there, with a detailed world in the large scale form. The streets are croweded with NPC's selling wares and shouting for your attention; the weather shifts from sunny to cloudy in seconds, and the overall realism the game has, right down to the buttons on Ryo's vest, is impressive.
Are there any pitfalls? The game suffers poor sound, thanks to horrible english translations and even worse voice overs. There are also some sound effects that become noticable when fighting enemies, such as grunts of pain or displeasure. These get repetitive to easily. Finally, the game has a very strange pacing, ranging from mundane boredom to super-fast action. You can go weeks without touching an aspect of the main storyline, just to explore the city, but this gets tedious quickly. Or, you can do a chapter in the storyline, only to ignite a chain of events that leads to numerous fight sequences. This pacing is a bit uneven.
But in the end, Shenmue is the best game on the Dreamcast. While the system may have come and gone so quickly, many of it's pinnacle titles, such as Shenmue, live on in some form or another. And like the Dreamcast, Shenmue is a game that is forgotten amongst the big blockbuster titles of Halo and Metal Gear Solid; A game that can never compete on the same scale as the popular kids in the playground. We still love Shenmue, both fans of video games and RPG's in general, so make sure to pick this one up from the bargin bin the next tiem the Dreamcast is on sale, you will not regret it.

Australian Mary Donaldson will slip into her glass slippers and climb into her pumpkin today. Fashion editor Janice Breen Burns ponders what else she might wear.
Not since Princess Diana dragged her ivory silk puffball Emanuel meringue up the steps of London's St Paul's Cathedral in July, 1981, have we been in quite such a flap about a frock.
Just what will
Our Mary wear at 4pm today in
Copenhagen Cathedral (midnight our
time) when she becomes Crown Princess
of Denmark? It's not hard to figure if her
fashion choices since snagging her prince
in 2001 are anything to go by. Her in-laws
- a powerful influence - are a regal
bunch, fond of elegant classics and dignified
haute couture, and Mary has slipped
like a jigsaw piece into their royal family
portrait. Like theirs, her sartorial repertoire
must be carefully controlled and
considered, not only by its inevitable,
relentless dissection in the media, but by
historic lessons learned (think "seethrough",
"frump frock" and "fat Fergie")
by Britain's princesses, Diana and Sarah,
in the 1980s and '90s.
"Beyond reproach" has to be Mary's personal style so, odds-on, her wedding gown will be plu-perfect, utterly appropriate, probably Danish and carefully keyed to current fashion trends, but without discernably expressing the Real Mary.
It's been the way of her wardrobe since long before she was taught to walk, talk, smile and wave in the way of a Danish royal. Her much publicised make-up, grooming and deportment classes in Sydney, Paris and Copenhagen since her engagement, only added extra gloss to an already sophisticated, albeit, essentially bland, fashion package. "She has a very polished style," says her friend of four years, Melbourne boutique owner Michaela Mogg. "And, she does love the Danish designers." Danish labels do appear to dominate her wardrobe and the allegiance is not a thinly veiled diplomatic gesture to her adopted country, either. "It was Mary who inspired us to bring in the Danish labels Day, Brwns Bazaar and Naja Lauf," says Mogg. "I loved them too, and now we sort of specialise."
Since she established Truffle Hunter shops in Brighton and the city three years ago, Mogg has shrunk her stock range down to Danish labels and just a couple more. And, so far, the elements of Mary Donaldson's style have proved a seductive retail mix. "We've caused a bit of a sensation - particularly at our Brighton shop. They love the labels there too."
According to Mogg the "Danish look" includes the kind of streamlined suiting and chic separates favored by Mary, but it is also about layering; "And, not bulky layers, but very flattering, with these little touches, delicate and pretty details. A little strap, for example, will be beaded at the end instead of tied in a knot. She (Mary) has to keep things more simple and clean-cut, but we buy the look a bit differently: layering and pieces, bejewelled, bohemian things in chiffon silks and patterns; a sort of Helena Christensen look." (The supermodel is another famous Dane.)
The idea of flippy frocks in millefeuille chiffon or anything bohemian and bejewelled, does seem removed from Mary's style but, really, it depends on the occasion. The almost-princess has proved to be a cunning fashion chameleon since becoming a paparazzi pet (admittedly never as relentlessly or rudely pursued as the British royals). She cleverly adapts outfits, hairstyles, make-up and accessories (or perhaps her sartorial minder, Soren Hedegaard, and court protocol guide, Per Thornit, plan the adaptations for her), much as an actress would to each new role.
Within the bounds of "beyond reproach" style, she can be prim, she can be chic, demure, regal or mumsy. She can be gracious, too - all smoothed chignon and flawless elegance - like Grace Kelly. On her engagement day, for example, she all but disappeared - an appropriate blur of watery silk, Stepford hair, barely-there make-up and French manicure - behind the official diamond ring. In effect, she presented herself as a blank canvas on which the Danish people could write their own royal fantasy.
The same night, at a gala dinner at Fredensborg palace, a green duchess silk one-shoulder gown by Danish designer Julie Fagerholt, and a high, glossy bun worn, significantly, without a tiara, infused Mary's public image as modest and malleable, but with just the right amount of regal glamour.
The Crown Princess of Denmark will be shadowed, for the rest of her days, by a media hungry for the flimsiest evidence that fairytales are possible. But, when Mary's, so far, spotless history and evolution from commoner to royal are exhausted, what is there left to print, broadcast and televise?
Why, her frock, of course: plu-perfect, utterly appropriate, often Danish, carefully keyed to fashion trends, and without discernably expressing the Real Mary.

Heater/AC blend doors
Hey everyone am new to this forum and was wondering if there was any recommendations on parts to fix my WJ's blend doors. if you could help me make a parts list i could find on ebay or anywhere that would be awesome.
Re: Heater/AC blend doors
There are two ways in fixing, or leave it original with the dual zone, or do a simple fix and have only one zone.
For the first one i don't know any brand, but the whole dash has to be removed and the HVAC housing split to change the doors.
The second one name is heater treater and the repair goes via the glove box opening. You then have to cut a hole in the HVAC housing and seal it of after the repair.
Re: Heater/AC blend doors
What do you think is a better repair dual zone or one zone i want it running like new. I just check my codes to and they where 52,56 but don't know what they mean.
Re: Heater/AC blend doors
52= recirculation door travel too large (this normally means that the door or hinge is broken. This door can be seen when you remove the blower motor from the HVAC housing at the passenger side foot well)
56= right temperature door travel too large. Also a broken door or hinge.
If you want to have it running like new, you should replace both blend doors (eventhough only one seems to be broken now, the other probably will follow not much later. There are improved blend doors from mopar, but probably also some other brand. Maybe an other member can chime in on this)
Re: Heater/AC blend doors
thanks for the help, I've been trying to get answers from garages and A/C shops but every answer i got was different one place said i needed a completely new a/c system and he would fix it for me for $850
Re: Heater/AC blend doors
1 Attachment(s)
Depending on how long you plan to keep your jeep, and if you would remove the complete dash to replace both blend doors and maybe the recirculation door, you should also consider changing the heater core and maybe the AC evaporator. Heater cores tend to start leaking at a certain point in time and you would have to remove the whole dash again. Just to have an idea, attached a picture of the HVAC housing with the blower motor on the right side. The housing has to be split to get access to the blend doors, heater core and evaporator.
Re: Heater/AC blend doors
do you think i should replace any of the motors that control the blend doors and recirculating door?
Re: Heater/AC blend doors
The actuators normally don't break that easily. The drivers side actuator is accessable via the glove box, so that one is not necessary, unless its broken. The passenger side actuator however is on the back side of the HVAC housing, so that one is only accessable with the HVAC on the workbench.
Re: Heater/AC blend doors
As for the repair i obviously have to remove the hole instrument panel to reach the HVAC housing do you think its something i could do on my own or i should have it done by a shop?
Re: Heater/AC blend doors
Never did this myself, but it seems to be more a time consuming thing than a difficult one. The whole dash has to come apart, it will probably cost you a weekend to do it. If you have some mechanics skills, you should be able to do it yourself and safe yourself quite some bucks.
Re: Heater/AC blend doors
Here are some pics of the way I fixed the recirc door on my 2006 Ram
This thing is a pain. *The good news is that the recirc door sub-assembly is accessible by removing the blower motor and the glove compartment. *Here are a few pics of what is involved with a brief description. *Instead of 5+ hours of pulling the dash and replacing the sub assembly I got it fixed for about $2, 20 minutes of my time and I did NOT have to remove the dash.
Here is a pic looking up into the dash with the blower motor removed and broken recirc door out of the way. *Note the white piece in the enter on the right hand side, this is what is attached to the recirc door motor - the door sits between this piece and the hole in the housing on the opposite side of the housing. *You will need to remove the glove compartment door and the motor to remove this from the housing. *I used a small pair of vice grips to get hold of it enough to remove it. *
Broken recirc door.
Piece used to replace the broken part of the factory recirc door:
After a bit of bending, customization and trial and error of the above mentioned piece, this is my end result:
The white piece in this picture extends into the recirc sub assembly and the blend door motor inserts into the wide end of this piece. *You need to remove the recirc door motor and pull this out of the recirc door housing to reinstall the door. *When you do this make note of the location of the limiter on the white piece in the pic as it matters when you put it together.
Reassemble by inserting and holding the recirc door into place with the right hand and inserting the white piece with the left hand, making sure the white piece is fully seated and paying attention to the tab mentioned in first caption. *Reinstall the recirc door motor again noting tab placement. *(At this point I powered on the HVAC system to make sure it worked as expected. *In my truck the recirc door moved first followed by the blend door.) *Reinstall blower motor and enjoy a warmer/cooler and quieter driving experience. *
Re: Heater/AC blend doors
The repair you discribed only works for the recirculation door, right? Because you are talking about the blend door(s) as well and as far as i know you can not access the blend doors via the blower motor opening.

Sweden has shown a longstanding commitment to the environment, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution and nitrogen leaching. It has set itself tough targets for the future, however, and must continue to innovate if it is to meet them, according to the Assessment and recommendations of the 2014 Environmental performance review of Sweden.
The average worker in Sweden faced a tax burden on labour income (tax wedge) of 42.9% in 2013 compared with the OECD average of 35.9%. Sweden was ranked 8 of the 34 OECD member countries in this respect.
English, PDF, 364kb
This note presents key findings for Sweden from Society at a Glance 2014 - OECD Social indicators. This 2014 publication also provides a special chapter on: the crisis and its aftermath: a "stress test" for societies and for social policies.
This report reviews the quality of health care in Sweden. It begins by providing an overview of the range of policies and practices aimed at supporting quality of care in Sweden (Chapter 1). It then focuses on three key areas particularly relevant to elderly populations: strengthening primary care in Sweden (Chapter 2), better assurance for quality in long-term care (Chapter 3), and improving care after hip fracture and stroke (Chapter 4). In examining these areas, this report highlights best practices and provides recommendations to improve the quality of care in Sweden.
English, PDF, 340kb
Old age poverty is generally low, but people aged 76 and above have a higher then OECD average poverty rate. However, publicly provided services matter the most in Sweden and play a major role in enhancing the income of all households, especially the elderly.Recent reforms to occupational pension plans in Sweden will lead to a better level of income... protection in retirement for high income earners compared to average income earners.
Two rounds of the Survey of Adult Skills are under way: Round 1 (2008-13) with 24 participating countries, whose results were released in October 2013, and Round 2 (2012-16) with 9 participating countries, whose results will be released in 2016. A third round is scheduled to begin in May 2014.
Sweden is a generous aid donor that has put development at the heart of its foreign policy.

Apple Sauce Making
Can anyone tell me why I cant make apples sauce. I have over 120 applese but when i go to make applesause it says 0?
Replies (2)
Hi, hope you have misunderstood Fireside Apples by normal Apples. in order to make Apple Sauce, what you need is a Fireside Apple tree which is a premium item could be bought using 18 farm bucks.
Anyhow, since you have 120 normal Apples better using them to prepare Candy Apple which requires just 1 crafting power and 10 apples along with 3 sugar. Apple Pie would not fetch you much returns and consumes hell lot of power (7) and Apple Scone is the last resort as it is lower level recipe. Happy farming.
Do you have regular apples or fireside apples? The recipes calls for fireside apples only.

Treatment Philosophy
I joined Fox Chase in 1986. I entered the field of surgical oncology because it was the field in the mid-1970s that was most interesting to me and the one that needed the most work. When my father developed a metastatic colon cancer in 1978, I was given further motivation to work in this field. This happened when I was in my first year of Surgical Oncology Fellowship at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. While there, I took an extra year of training in pancreatic and liver surgery.
My first job after fellowship was as the Director of the Division of Surgical Oncology at Loyola University School of Medicine in Maywood, Illinois. After 6 years there, I moved to Fox Chase, where I could concentrate fully on the treatment and the advancement of treatment for cancer. Since that time, I have seen many wonderful advances in the treatment of many cancers.
Much of my time and effort over the past 30 years here have been spent on the development of the treatment for pancreatic cancer. While we still have a long way to go before this scourge is defeated, I can remember when doctors were against any treatment, surgery or other, for pancreatic cancer because it was so hopeless. We now have many different drugs that have activity against the cancer and are in the process of testing which ones are optimal, both in concert with surgical resection, or alone (when resection is neither possible nor feasible). I still see patients from whom I've resected pancreatic cancer 10 to 18 years ago!
Every day at Fox Chase is a pleasure for me. The entire hospital is composed of people who recognize that every patient is a special cancer fighter, and therefore they all are treated as unique individuals. It is this total institutional dedication, as well as my 30 years of cancer treatment experience, that should convince you to let us take care of you.

At first, Carol Stahl thought the stomach pain she started feeling during Christmas in 2014 was related to heartburn. However, when visiting friends in Connecticut for New Year's, Carol noticed changes in her urine and bowel movements, prompting her to research her symptoms. The first thing that came up was pancreatic cancer.

Laura Marblestone's mother was only 43 when she lost her fight with breast cancer. That's why Laura, a registered nurse and resident of Langhorne, PA, regularly performed breast self-exams. In May 1990, at the age of 40, Laura detected lumps in her left breast. Results from a lumpectomy were benign, but around the same time, she developed a lump under her arm, which her doctor said was a swollen lymph gland, likely related to the surgery. "He told me it was nothing, I didn't have to worry."

In 2007 when Baha Malik started experiencing back pain, he ignored it. "You know – that macho thing we do," shares the retired data specialist, who turned 78 in 2016. "Finally it got so excruciating that my wife demanded I go to a hospital. When I did that, a biopsy revealed that I had cancer of the pancreas. That's when my primary physician made arrangements for me to go to Fox Chase Cancer Center – which was a real blessing."
Research Interests
Translational and clinical research in pancreatic cancer. We have several trials here from looking at basic mechanisms of pancreatic cancer growth and genetic structures to trials in sequencing, types of adjuvant therapies and surgical treatments of pancreatic cancer.

Hotel B&B Tuscany Maremma
The area of Maremma is situated in the hearth of the Tuscany region, in the center of Italy, in the province of Grosseto and Viterbo. Between the most important touristic locality of Maremma we can remember Grosseto, Orbetello, Castiglione della Pescaia, Follonica, Massa Marittima, Scarlino, the Punta Ala promontory, Magliano in Toscana, the Uccellina natural park, Manciano, Roccastrada, Ansedonia and Capalbio.
A tourist can't help being enthralled by the history he sees embodied all around him in the old town centers, single monuments and works of art. A sense of the past rises from the paving stones, waves froma the bell towers and emanates from the walls of buildings and churches. Many of these churches date from the 13th century and where later re-elaborated in the Neo Gothic style and decorated with frescos of the famous Sienese school during the 14th and 15th centiries.
Castles and farmhouses belong to a medieval architectural tradition that figures among the most important in the Maremma. Traces of old military structures are still visible in the remains of citadels and protective walls, demostrating the importance of these villages as difensive bastions. This was true, not only for the feudal lords, the Aldobrandeschi, but also for their successors, from the Sienese to the Medici and the Lorraine, all of whom continued to increase the cultural heritage with restorations and enlargments that can still be seen today.
Numbers of fortified settlements punctuate the landscape: the 16th century castle in Porrona, the massive stone fortress, the Cassero di Cinigiano, the castle in Pari with sections of the Medieval enclosing wall and the two small fortresses in Montorsaio, documented as far back as the 12th century, and the one in Stertignano with prominent walls enclosing a rustic structure, near the locality of Marrucheti.
The wholesome and extraorinary flavours and aromas of the Maremma cousine seem to reproduce all of the flvours and aromas of the land. L'acquacotta, la zuppa di pane (soups), il buglione (marinated lamb), la scottiglia of lamb and chicken, wild boar in sauce are a few of most typical recipes that still keep their old time flavours.
The dining table tells the story of a land whose secular olive trees produce fine oil and whose vineyards produce esteemed wines. Grapes were grown here thousand of years ago and the winemarking tradition has lasted through our time. It has become an art that has produced Morellino, one of the best-known wines in Italy.
The same art has now produced Montecucco with its distinctive flavours, the latest wine born on these mountain slopes. Fairs, pageants and festivities throughout the year offer the perfect chance for sampling meats preparated with simplicity and refinement, genuine cheeses, garlic breads, vegetables and mushrooms so prominent in local and last, dishes and least, delicious chestnuts.
The area including the province of Grosseto is widely known as Maremma (from the Spanish word 'marismas' - marsh).
Till a century ago Maremma was a marshy and unhealthy land; its natural and wonderful habitat has been preserved throughout the centuries, being still intact and unspoiled today, far from any kind of industrialization or a wild use of cement.
Maremma is a mixture of sea, pine woods, mediterranean maquis and marsh, sunny plains and mild hills: a wild landscape marked by the contrast between impenetrable maquis and tilled fields, hills where man has been working hard and harsh mountains.
Your sight could wander anywhere in this district and, always, you will disover a picturesque and charming scenery where man has been able to live in perfect harmony with nature.
The history of Maremma begins with the Etruscans, the legendary people who dominated Etruria for seven centuries (from the Xth to the III rd century B.C.), the whole Tuscany and, in periods of great splendour, most central Italy. Maremma was the centre of etruscan military power thanks to the position of the two "lucumonie" : Vetulonia and Roselle; the small towns and the ports of Caletra, Heba, Talamone and Porto Ercole.
In 280 B.C. Rome defeated the Etruscans so starting that process of decay (Barbarian invasions, Longobard domination and, in the middle age, the seignoiry of the Counts Aldobrandeschi; the domination of Siena and Florence) which marked the fortune of Maremma up to the establishment of the supremacy of the Lorenas. The marshes, typical of Maremma landscape, were first drained in he XVII th century when Maremma belonged to the Granduchy of Tuscany; land drainage, carried out through centuries, made possible the repopulation of the place as well as its use for agriculture since the beginning of XXth century.
Anyone who comes here knows that extraordinary encounters with the animal and plant world are everyday occurrences in this environment. A visit to an animal reserve makes such an encounter almost inevitable. There are two major protected areas within the territory with a combination of Mediterranean scrub and forests of tall trees offering protection for important animal species. The Riserva Naturale del Basso Merse extends along the border between the provinces of Grosseto and Siena.
The hilly landscape is covered by forests of Turkey oaks, Holm oaks and White oaks and by low scrub sprinkled with Heather and Strawberry trees. Colonies of Hawks, Sparrow hawks and Short-toed eagles nest here and it's easy to spot Roe-deer and deer. The Otter, a species that risks extinction and is rarely found in Italy, still lives in this protected habitat.
The 434 hectares of the Riserva Naturale di Poggio all'Olmo extend around the town of Cinigiano. It is a valuable forest, typical of these high hills, with a large variety of animal life and secular plants like the majestic pear tree-monument that has an old legend associated with it. Wild boar are sure to accompany any walk through this area.

MOTC to expand section of Highway 4 in Taichung
By Queena Yen ,The China Post Wednesday, August 20, 2014, 12:01 am TWN
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- The Taiwan Area National Expressway Engineering Bureau (TANEEB) under the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC) announced yesterday that construction on the new section between Fengyuan and Tanzi of National Highway No. 4 is expected to begin next year and will complete the last section of the highway network in the Greater Taichung City area after opening to the public in 2021.
TANEEB pointed out the project is aimed at finishing the last piece of the highway puzzle in Greater Taichung City formed by National Highway No. 1, National Highway No. 3, the Qingshui and Fengyuan sections of National Highway No. 4, Provincial Highway No. 74 and Provincial Highway No. 61. The new section will further complete the network, easing the traffic burden for everyday commuters.
Chen Yi-biau (陳議標) from the TANEEB said the project had already passed its environmental assessment last year. It is now designing the construction details and schedules. At the beginning of 2015, TANEEB plans to start the preliminary planning of using the land based on the Land Expropriation Act. He stated that the entire preparation stage is expected to take two years and the four-year project will be started in 2017 if everything goes smoothly.
According to TANEEB, the new route is about 10.9-kilometers long. It is expected to be finished by the end of 2020 at the earliest and open to public in 2021 after examinations.
In addition, Chen also pointed out that about 1 million people along the route can benefit since it will likely reduce traffic on National Highway No. 3 between the KuaiGuan and Wufeng sections by 13 percent. It is also expected to reduce the traffic jams between Fengyuan and Daya section on National Highway No. 1, reducing traffic by 20 percent after the project's completion.
Transportation Minister Takes Ice Bucket Challenge
Before the press conference to announce the new route's construction, Transportation Minister Yeh Kuang-shih (葉匡時) took the Ice Bucket Challenge for people who suffer from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and donated NT$3,000 to the ALS Association.
Yeh nominated Culture Minister Lung Ying-tai (龍應台), former Legislator Joanna Lei (雷倩) and radio host Zoe Li (黎明柔) to continue the challenge and support those with the debilitating disease.
"I feel cooler and calmer after (the challenge). I hope that I can keep this same attitude when facing difficulties so I can keep working for our citizens," said Yeh.

Garden Route Climbing
Does anyone have any beta regarding climbing in Van Stadens gorge and around Knysna/George? Have been seeing tantalising photos lately, but no info.
There is a fair amount of climbing in the Langkloof...Bobiaan Kranz, Africa Renesance, Koos se bos. Outshoorn is obviously awesome. Bloukraans has some trad. Van Stadens is great, but not that many routes yet...and all hard. The fellows are bolting in a serious way at the moment. The easy routes were badly bolted some years back and are seriously dangerous now. The beach is a great venue. The fellows in PE are great...they would gladly take you along. About 4km away from Stadens is Lady Slipper. Lots to do there. The gorges near Uitenhage are fantastic. Trad cracks...wow...so many.

As much as I love live music, I've never been a big fan of the music festival.
Lots of down time, shorter than normal sets by the performers, huge crowds, crappy weather, limited dining choices, and a dead cell phone just doesn't sound like my idea of a good way to spend 12 hours of my weekend.
But I must say that the Saturday I spent at the Index Festival in Deep Ellum was pretty great. And a lot of the reason for that was I splurged for the VIP ticket. Let me tell you, that was a hundred bucks well spent.
Although I couldn't make it to the first day of the festival on Friday because I went to see John Fogerty, it worked out perfectly for me. Just about every performer I wanted to see ended up playing in Saturday, which was also a gorgeous day. And, much to my surprise, the guy I wanted to see most, Jason Isbell, played two shows. But I'll get back to that in a minute.
The day was scheduled to start at 2 p.m. But since there weren't many people on hand yet, it didn't get started until 2:45. That was a little aggravating, but because I had a VIP ticket, I was able to go to an area they had on the side of both main stages and sit down and relax. The setup for Index is really well done. There are two main stages at opposite ends of a huge parking lot behind Trees. There are also shows inside the club, along with shows at several other clubs in close proximity. For the two-day festival, more than 70 bands played on nine stages.
First up was Denton's Chambers, which did a great job in front of a pretty small crowd that got bigger and bigger as the day wore on. I pretty much stuck to the "Red Hook Stage," so I heard some of the other bands playing on the other end, but I was up close and personal for Zhora, Isbell, and rapper P.O.S. That's when I finally decided to alternate stages to catch Warpaint, on the "Goose Island Stage" and then another one of my favorites, Sarah Jaffe, back on the "Red Hook Stage." The great thing was there was no down time between shows because there were two stages.
Another really awesome thing about having a VIP ticket was the fact the artists arrived to load in inside the same area that was set up for VIP tickets holders. When Isbell got to the site, I actually got to meet and get my picture with him. By the way, his Southeastern album, which came out earlier this year, is an absolute masterpiece, which I told him. He was really nice in obliging my music fan geekdom.
The schedule had a "surprise national act acoustic performance" slated for 10:30 p.m.-1 a.m. at the new Twilite Lounge. And Isbell announced during his 40-minute set that it was him. I was beyond pumped.
Before heading over to Twilite to stake my place near the stage early, I caught a few minutes of Girl Talk. And, wow, what a vision that was. DJ Gregg Gillis, who has created quite a following as his alter ego, knows how to throw a party. With several fans dancing on stage, tons of lights, colors, and a toiler paper gun (yes, a toiler paper gun), the show was like a rave times ten. I only stuck around for about 15-20 minutes of the show, but I got the impression it would have been an incredibly fun spectacle to see in a club.
Then, it was time for Isbell's acoustic set. And, man, was it awesome. With the Twilite jam packed, Isbell played for about 90 minutes. He did several of the songs off the aforementioned Southeastern album, including a few of my favorites, "Cover Me Up," "Different Days," and "Elephant." The latter is a tune about cancer that actually brought tears to the eyes of a girl on the front row. He also did a couple of cool covers, Townes Van Zandt's "Pancho and Lefty," and Whiskeytown's "Jacksonville Skyline." I was on cloud nine after that show. Just freaking awesome.
I put a nice bow on the day by seeing Dallas rapper AV The Great at Three Links. This one was really cool and close to my heart. I've known AV since he was in high school in Denton. And this was the first time I got to see him play live. With a full band behind him, he put on a fun, energetic show that the crowd that stayed out late to check out seemed to be pretty into. Also a DJ on K104, AV definitely seems like he's got a bright future ahead of him. He's very skilled with his rhymes, and he has the confidence and swagger to pull it off.
Like I said, the schedule could not have worked out more perfectly for me. And Index might just have changed my mind about music festivals. A little bit.
Atlas Genius, Family of the Year, and Little Comets are on tap for my Thursday night at House of Blues. Check back for my thoughts.

Reviews for Frosted Brownie Pizza
"I have made this recipe over and over again since it first appeared in TOH in 1999. Definitely a family favorite! My husband is not a fan of coconut or nuts, so I use M&M's, chocolate chips and colored sugar or sprinkles. I like to color coordinate for the holidays too!"
"I make this almost every year for Valentine's using Valentine M&M's. A really festive treat for the holiday"
"It was fabulous. I made it for a friend that would not eat anything green like a salad. I died the coconut green and used all green m & m's. This was one green item he devoured."
"This is a wonderful easy recipe, I have made it for 5 years in a row for my daughter's school birthday treat. Kids go crazy over it and it is very easy to transport. Make it, you won't be sorry!"

A civil rights attorney helps protect the personal rights granted to you by the government. When someone violates those rights, a civil rights attorney can help you make them stop these violations, or repay you for any damage they have done to you. Your civil rights are spelled out in federal and state constitutions and in discrimination laws. In fact, civil rights attorneys are sometimes called discrimination attorneys because they frequently handle cases involving a person being treated differently based on gender, age, ethnicity, or sexual orientation.

I have taken it upon myself to go through and fix everything that I currently see wrong with the judging system as it stands. Ive separated it into two posts; this first post is specifically about jumps and the second post is about everything else.
Jump combinations should be receiving a bonus; a 3A + 3T is harder than a 3A and 3T by themselves. However, giving jumps even more points than they get right now would be imbalanced. In order to create a system where combinations can be given their rightful due, the individual value of jumps as they are now needs to be decreased.
4Lutz - 12.2 (-2.2, +1.1 for GOE)
4Flip - 11.8 (-2.1, +1.1 for GOE)
4Loop - 11.4 (-2.0, +1.1 for GOE)
4Sal - 10.0 (-1.8, +1.1 for GOE)
4Toe - 9.4 (-1.7, +1.1 for GOE)
3Axel - 7.8 (-1.5, +1.1 for GOE)
3Lutz - 5.6 (-1.3, +1 for GOE)
3Flip - 5.2 (-1.2, +1 for GOE)
3Loop - 4.8 (-1.2, +1 for GOE)
3Sal - 3.8 (-1.0, +.9 for GOE)
3Toe - 3.4 (-9, +.9 for GOE)
2Axel - 2.8 (-.8, -.8, -.7, +.8 for GOE)
2Lutz - 2.0 (-.5, -.5, -.4, +.6 for GOE)
2Flip - 1.8 (-.5 -.4, -.4, +.6 for GOE)
2Loop - 1.6 (-.4, +.6 for GOE)
2Sal - 1.2 (.-3, +.6 for GOE)
2Toe - 1.1 (-.3, -.3, -2, +.6 for GOE)
1Axel - .9 (-.2, +.5 for GOE)
1Lutz - .4 (-.1, +.2 for GOE)
1Flip - .3 (-.1, +.2 for GOE)
1Loop - .3 (-.1, +.2 for GOE)
1Sal - .2 (-.1, +.2 for GOE)
1Toe - .2 (-.1, +.2 for GOE)
*Another change is the increased impact of negative GOE on (most) jumps and a reduction of the penalty for falling to .5 (which wasn't stated above). Is it really much worse when someone falls as compared to someone who double-foots a jump, falls out of the landing, and puts both hands down onto the ice (ie. -3 GOE)?
*The Toeloop and Salchow jumps have been further spaced away from the Loop, Flip, and Lutz in terms of value. The current values for these jumps are spaced in an even manner, but this does not accurately reflect the difficulty of the jumps. The Toeloop and Salchow are easier jumps and the Loop, Flip, and Lutz are difficult jumps. The Loop jump in particular is now worth a notably greater amount than it used to be in comparison to the Toeloop and Salchow.
*The Double Axel has also been made less valuable in comparison to the Triple jumps. Other than being an accurate reflection of that jump's difficulty in comparison to the Triple jumps, this change is important because (as you will later read) there should be more freedom in the Long Programs in terms of what elements skaters can execute. A Double Axel is currently more worthwhile than any spin (and most footwork/spiral sequences). If given the choice between being able to do Double Axel and a non-jump element, skaters need incentive to do which one fits the program and their own capabilities best.
BONUSES FOR COMBINATIONS and SEQUENCES:
*First Jump - receives no bonus if the second jump is a single, 5% bonus if its a double, 10% bonus if its a triple, 15% bonus if its a 3Axel or Quad.
*Second Jump - receives a 10% bonus if the first jump was less than a Triple, 15% bonus if the first jump was a Triple, 20% bonus if the first jump was a 3Axel or Quad.
*Third Jump - automatically receives a 10% bonus. If it is a single jump there is no additional no bonus. If it is a Double the entire combination receives a 5% bonus. If it is a Triple the entire combination receives a 10% bonus. If it is a 3Axel or Quad (when cows fly...) the entire combination receives a 15% bonus.
In a three jump combination, the third jump must be of a different type than the second jump and/or have a different arm position in the air. If this requirement is not met, the bonuses incurred by doing the third jump will be cut in half.
*If a jump combination uses a half-loop to connect jumps, the half-loop shall not count as one of the jumps in the combination in terms of determining if the jumping passing should be scored as a two-jump combination or a three-jump combination (and in terms of which combination slot it uses up). The bonus for these types of combinations will be ONE-HALF of the normal bonus for combinations.
*For jump sequences (defined by a maximum of 3 steps and/or hops between jumps), the sequence shall receive a penalty of 5%.
4Lutz - 7.6 (-1.5, +1 for GOE)
4Flip - 7.2 (-1.4, +1 for GOE)
4Loop - 6.8 (-1.4, +1 for GOE)
4Sal - 6.0 (-1.3, +1 for GOE)
4Toe - 5.6 (-1.3, +1 for GOE)
3Axel - 4.8 (-1.2, +1 for GOE)
3Lutz - 3.3 (-.9, -.9, -.8, +.9 for GOE)
3Flip - 3.1 (-.8, +.8 for GOE)
3Loop - 2.9 (-.8, +.8 for GOE)
3Sal - 2.4 (-.7, +.7 for GOE)
3Toe - 2.2 (-.6, +.7 for GOE)
2Axle - 1.8 (-.5, -.4, -.4, +.6 for GOE)
2Lutz - 1.0 (-.2, +.4 for GOE)
2Flip - .9 (-.2, +.4 for GOE)
2Loop - .8 (-.2, +.4 for GOE)
2Sal - .6 (-.2, -.1, -.1, +.3 for GOE)
2Toe - .6 (-.2, -.1, -.1, +.3 for GOE)
1Axel - .4 (-.1, +.2 for GOE)
(all other underrotated single jumps are worth nothing)
It is important that underrotated jumps are not simply downgraded a full level. An underrotated Quad is not a Triple. An underrotated Triple is not a double. These jumps should have their own values.
For all jumps, ONE-HALF turn of pre-rotation and ONE-QUARTER turn of underrotation is allowed before the jump is considered an Underrotated jump. If a skater pre-rotates more than one-half turn, then the landing must also go further past the quarter-turn mark. 2.25 rotations in the air is the minimum amount of rotation required for a Triple jump. Less than that will cause the jump to be called as underrotated. A skater must obtain at least 2 rotations total in the air for the jump to be considered an underrotated Triple. If this amount is not achieved, the jump shall be called as a double.
If a skater pre-rotates less than one-half turn, but comes up more than one-quarter turn short on the landing, leeway shall be given when deciding how to call the jump. If there is no pre-rotation at all (as such is the case for some Lutz and Flip jumps), then the landing shall be allowed an extra 1/4 turn of leeway. If there is only 1/4 turn of pre-rotation, the landing shall be allowed an extra 1/8 turn of leeway.
*For a Lutz jump that takes off from a slight inside edge, the jump shall received a penalty of 10%. For a Lutz jump that takes off from a very obvious inside edge, the jump shall received a penalty of 20%.
*For a Flip jump that takes off from a very obvious outside edge, the jump shall receive a penalty of 10%.
*The GOE values are modified by the same amount in each case.
*A single-footed Axel (an Axel that takes off and lands on the same foot) shall be worth 60% greater base value (the GOE values also shift by 60%, if applicable). This applies only to a Single Axel - not a Double Axel or Triple Axel. The purpose of this change is to allow the combination of a single-footed Axel into a Salchow or Flip jump to be worth enough for skaters to have incentive to perform it. A single-footed Axel into a Triple Salchow is of greater difficulty than the more standard Triple Salchow-Double Toeloop combination.
*If a skater does not perform a repeat Triple jump in combination, that jump will no longer be additionally penalized. The fact that the skater left out the combination, thereby using up one of their slots for a combination without getting the benefit of it, is enough of a penalty.
*If a skater performs too many jumps in combination, the extra jumps will simply be discounted (in whichever manner best benefits the skaters score) instead of the entire jumping pass being discounted. There is no reason that a perfectly good jump should be worth 0 points just because a skater accidently added a double toeloop onto the end of it.
Similarly, if a skater breaks the Zayak rule and performs the same Triple jump more than twice in their program, the extra Triple(s) shall be downgraded to a Double rather than completely discounted. A Double Axel being performed more than 3 times in a program shall also be downgraded to a Single Axel.

Twelve cities in Brazil are gearing up to host World Cup soccer games in just a few weeks, and part of that preparation includes preventing outbreaks of dengue fever. A new early warning system estimates that the risk of an outbreak is highest for the host cities of Recife, Fortaleza and Natal, researchers report May 17 in Lancet Infectious Diseases. A city is labeled high risk if more than 300 cases per 100,000 inhabitants are predicted in a month for a region.

Annapolis Parent Review
Movie Review
"We're looking for a few good boxers," may be the new slogan put forth by the US Navy if this loosely constructed movie were to be anywhere near true.
NEW: Listen to our Parent Previews Podcast and take control of media and technology in your family!
We already know this is an underdog story when Jake Huard (James Franco) leaves his shipbuilding job to pursue his dreams of attending Annapolis Naval Academy. Our hero's test scores are deplorable, he has a cocky attitude, his father (who is also his boss) wants him to stay and earn his union credentials, and he had to petition a government official for days to let him in the front door. Finally, he is granted a late admission because another candidate decided life at the legendary naval academy was too hard. He's also told it will be tough going because he is already days behind.
Cut to the next scene, and Huard and hundreds of others, are heading into the ranks for their first day (an obvious continuity error, as nobody appears to be starting late). With snarly superiors, like Midshipman Lt. Cole (Tyrese Gibson), telling the new "plebes" how pathetic they are, Huard does what any handsome Hollywood guy would do: He makes nice eyes at female Commander Ali (Jordanna Brewster), a sweet little gal he happened to innocently make a pass at while boozing with his buddies at the local watering hole the night before.
In his dorm, he meets his roommates. "Twins" (Vicellous Shannon)--a nasty nickname due to his slightly obese size--is an African-American Arkansas native with a heart as large as his body, who is struggling to achieve the demanding physical standards. Loo (Roger Fan), of Asian decent, and Whitaker (McCaleb Burnett), another Caucasian, are both hard-liners determined to personally excel. Estrada (Wilmer Calderon), a Hispanic, is also determined but struggles to understand the need for precise discipline.
This multi-ethnic group has the makings to create the graduate version of Remember the Titans, and we sense that idea may have existed in the script five drafts earlier. In one of the few classroom scenes, Huard wrestles with math and refuses to accept help from Twins. It looks like a story thread is about to develop showing how Huard's brawn and Twins brains can work together, yet it never happens. Other similar moments lay bait for better things to come. Unfortunately, the writers instead take a left turn and focus on the Academy's annual boxing match.
Suddenly, this movie that could be an inspirational tale about learning to work together and succeeding in one of the world's toughest military academies hits a creative storm and flounders into a b-rate boxing film. Huard and his superior Cole have been at odds since they met, so the boxing ring gives the scriptwriters a perfect excuse to bring the two foils together. With the camera focusing on punches and jabs, the bottom half of this feature is filled with ring scenes where rapid edits and a high-speed shutter effect attempt to cover poorly choreographed moves.
Although the film contains a few moderate profanities, a couple of sexual remarks, boxing violence and an attempted suicide, these issues aren't likely concerning enough to keep parents and older teens from viewing. However, families may find the biggest disappointment is the potential Annapolis throws away.Starring Donnie Wahlberg, James Franco. Running time: 108 minutes. Theatrical release January 26, 2006. Updated March 19, 2009

Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Plus Reviews
Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail
I am reviewing the Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Reverb.
This Reverb Pedal has 3 types of Reverb:
Spring-This Emulates a classic amp reverb.
Hall- This Emulates a Hall-like reverb.(Think playing in a big space)
Flerb-Basically, This is the spring reverb with a little bit of flanger thrown in. (With interesting results!)
As with All Electro-Harmonix Pedals, they are built with gigging in mind. The Reinforced, Steel Casing will survive even the toughest stomp. Obviously if you jump on it, it will probably make a dent but i havn\'t tried that! Overall the construction seems pretty sturdy.
The footswitch doesn\'t make a poping noise when engaged, and the volume/tone are not affected when the pedal is on.
Another thing to note is the pedal comes with an adapter which is usefull, considering reverb is something that people use all the time.
Now Let\'s review the settings:
Spring- This setting is probably the one I use the most. It can go from a light reverb, (10/11 o clock) heavier reverb,(1/2 o clock) to the extreme.(3 o clock +)
In the higher modes you can really get some nice surf sounds. Think The Ventures signature \'Twang\'.
Hall-This mode is a bit heavier than the \'spring\' mode. In this mode, it is less of a reverb and more of an echo effect & reverb blended together.Again it goes from a light echo(10/11 o clock) to a heavier echo. (1/2 o clock) When you get past 3 o clock, It sounds like you\'re playing inside a cave or something. It\'s really cool, but you wouldn\'t really use it as much as \'spring\' mode, especially if you gig.
Flerb-This setting is unique to the holy grail. It works in the same way as the \'Spring\' mode, except the more you turn the dial, the more flanger it adds as well. You can\'t really hear the flanger until you get past 12/1 o clock, but it has a nice sound. You can really get some interesting sounds with it. The unusual thing about this setting is, rather than having the reverb and flanger seperately in the mix, it fuses them together to create this otherwordly effect that I can\'t really describe. You will just have to try it out!
Overall, This is an exellent reverb Pedal. The other 2 setting are a nice touch(Especially \'Flerb\') but the \'spring\' mode is where this pedal really stands out.
The only reason I am not giving it 10/10 is that it is entireley Digital. THIS PEDAL IS NOT ANALOGUE!!!
I personally would have preferred if it was analogue, but it\'s such a good pedal, I\'m not really fussed.
I Highly Recommend it if your reverb tank has died, (Like Mine) or you just want more reverb than you amp can do.
I Hope This Review has helped anyone looking to buy this pedal.

Hundreds of bales of hay destroyed in barn fire
WASHINGTON COUNTY, Tenn. - A fire tore through two barns and destroyed hundreds of bales of hay on a sixth-generation farm in Gray, Tennessee.
The 911 call came in just after midnight Friday about a barn fire off Pickens Bridge Road. Farmer Larry Crouch says there was no electricity and no equipment inside the barn, simply 350 bales of hay.
The fire is devastating news for the family since it takes months during the summer to stock enough supplies to feed cattle throughout the winter. "The next step would be to find feed for the cattle for the rest of the winter. Hopefully it will be a mild winter and grass will come early in spring," said family owner Linda Crouch-McCready.
The family says they do have insurance but it's costly and hard to afford rebuilding. There is still no word yet on the cause of the fire.

Destination: Other
Type: Bus, Hummer/SUV
This is your chance to see ghost towns and mining camps in one day-long tour that brings the West's history to life.
After you are picked up from your hotel, enjoy a shuttle bus drive to your first stop, the Hoover Dam. Here you will have time for a quick photo stop as you see this engineering marvel that was built in the 1930s.
After a short stop at the Hoover Dam, it's off to Chloride, AZ. Once a booming mining town, it is now home to just 250 residents. Here you can explore small antique shops, admire artistic sculptures and see the ghostly remains of the mining industry.
The next stop on your tour is the ghost town of Oatman. Only 150 people, 1 ghost and burros still reside here. Pose in front of an authentic Route 66 sign, have a drink in the saloon and see a Western shoot out, before you head out.
You'll cross the desert landscape heading for the tour's final destination of El Dorado Canyon. This historic ghost town completes your tour before you head back to the bright neon lights of Las Vegas.
This tour includes a fun and knowledgeable guide, transportation in an air-conditioned, 13-passenger tour bus and a deli-style lunch.

Nestlé - The Robustness of Large Conglomerates against Negative Publicity
€ 67,99
Sofort lieferbar
Mai 2008
BeschreibungCrises are an inevitable part of life. Knowledge is based on learning gained out of crises. But what happens if crises do not affect organizations anymore; and hence organizations become invulnerable towards crises? Is it then still valid calling them crises? Or do crises change into opportunities?
Those questions arose after the authors chose Nestlé as a main focus of investigation; and after they dug deeper into crisis-, and risk management theories.
The authors hand out necessary information, before moving to crisis, and risk management theories, ethical business behavior, and corporate social activities. They contrast those theories with stakeholder theories, shareholder capitalism, and the portfolio theory. Their research question deals with the affect of crises on Nestlés share price, and the out coming consequences, and possibilities. Two hypotheses test if there was a positive correlation between corporate social responsibility, and Nestlés share price; or if there was no relationship between social performance, and the stock price.
This book is for: managers, consultants, students, crises interest groups, companies, and scientists of human, and business disciplines.
PortraitMaximilian Westphal (1978, M.Sc., Dipl. Photojournalist) studied Management & Photography at the University of Trier, the Aarhus School of Business & The Danish School of Journalism. While working in international crises areas as a photographer & filmmaker, Max is the founder & CEO of Equatorpictures, an ethical oriented film production.

Press Review: Zeppelin Are Sexy
Rock and roll is powered by sex, just like the moms and dads feared two decades ago — and no band is sexier than Led Zeppelin.
For 2 1/2 hours at Olympia Friday night—no intermission, no warns-up, no relief — Zeppelin surged with a basic, erotic power.
I don't mean the sexy tease of Tina Turner, or the machismo aggressiveness of the Rolling Stones, or the layful perversity of the glitter bands, and certainly not the straightforward lyrics of some folk-rockers. Tins Buckley for example.
No, this was something more instinctive — a primal energy stored in the gut, and spilled out in a visceral surge by Zeppelin's muse. Even without lyrics they would be erotically disturbing, a meat-grinder for your baser urges. They were shooting from the groin, not the hip, through Showco speakers that poured 300,000 watts of power over the jam-packed audience. Zeppelin used every ounce of that juice. Their heaving, rhythmically jagged music set Jimmy Page's heavy-metal guitar against Robert Plant's heavy-breathing voice. John Paul Jones on mellotron (looking much happier than on the numbers where he played bass) net up a languid contrast; John Bonham's drums laid down an immovable bottom.
Page would slash an attack, twisting across the stage with his face in asthmatic contortions; Plant re-established the tension with eerie swoops and slides — he's done more for gasps and squeals than anyone outside dirty movies. They constantly pushed for ecstatic surrounder as they spread their choices from their earliest material to the newest, on the long-awaited Physical Graffiti, their first in two years and evidently a ferocious continuance of their trend.
The performance was a long way from studio perfection; Plant was flat on the opening numbers, not even trying for the high notes, and Page's guitar runs careened 'way off-track. But momentum quickly gathered into an orgasmic torrent where delicacies were not heeded.
Plant and Page held the front of the stage, androgynous in the bare-chested English manner, curls cascading as they strutted hip-jarring challenges. Stairway to Heaven near the end, was exhaustingly good; and when, earlier, Plant sang the line in How Many More Times about a lemon-squeezer, the old song was a reminder that this band has been at its peak for a good half-dozen years.
Like any long-lasting love, their endurance hasn't been accidental. No other band could go two, years without an album and still instantly sell out its concerts — but Zeppelin is wise enough to visit each city on its tours only once in two years instead of annually as other big acts do. And the concert was hardly spur-of-the-moment, either. That show seas planned with all the expense and bother of one of Cleopatra's seductions.
They brought in enough lights to set all downtown Windsor shining. The stage gimmicks were precisely timed — fog machines, smoke bombs, five giant ballroom globes to send globules of light flitting around the stadium; weirdly fascinating amplification for John Bonham's kettledrum solo; flashing lights spelling out the band's name; Jimmy Page attacking his guitar with a violin bow he wielded like a magic wand.
It was exhausting; it was exhilarating; it shook up the gut just as planned. Six years ago, when Zeppelin made its debut in the clammy old Grande Ballroom, I cautiously passed the opinion that they had potential. Nice call, pal. [The Windsor Star. February 1, 1975, John Laycock]

You had connections. I
You had connections. I couldn't get tickets to this show. But I did know a guy who worked as ticket taker at Olympia. He was selling his own tickets. We bought his personal tickets, and the plan was that we all walked through his gate where he was collecting tickets.
The problem was, we couldn't get within 2 blocks of the venue. Police were checking in advance, and only letting ticket-holders through.
We hung around the periphery after the concert started, hoping to find a way in. At one point, the police started getting a little bored, and people were able to get through to Olympia. We waited out back while a bunch of people tried to rip some back access doors out of the wall. They were doing OK until the cops stopped it.
Then we went around front. By now the first line of defence, the cops, were getting pretty lax. We got around them and approached a ticket gate. I was intercepted by private security. Before he could say a word, I grabbed him and said "You've got to come in with us. There's a family emergency for someone inside. Come on... hurry up!"
That confused him enough. He pulled away from me and said he couldn't come in because he was on duty. (Ha!)
I approached the gate, and an older guy was taking tickets. I rolled up a couple $20 bills, and handed them to the guy as my girlfriend went in ahead of me. He looked at the money and then grabbed me - "Hey, what are you doing?"
I froze, and my girlfriend froze just inside the building. He paused a second, shoved the money back in my hand, and said "get outta here."
And then he gave me a shove.....inside the arena! I love that old guy to this day.
We walked in as the band was playing Kashmir, found some good steps to sit on and enjoyed the show, flying bottles and all. Not only did we get in... we got in free.
Unfortunately the sound was crap where we were. It was an ice-skating rink. That wasn't enough to spoil a great evening, but I would have loved to hear Jimmy's guitar a bit more clearly.
I don't really believe there is such a thing as the "greatest rock band." But of there were, it would be Zeppelin.

It's summer and I'm counting on co-workers and friends to share their garden bounty.
My work buddy Roger boasted Thursday that his plum tree is "going nuts."
I said I was eager to get my hands on some.
He's also the person who told me "only people who don't have any friends have to buy zucchini in summer."
I'm likely being overly confident, but I don't grow zucchini nowadays. If nobody loves me this year, there's always the farmers market.
While gardeners relish their first zucchini harvest, by mid-summer you can look one day and find nothing, then happen upon a three-foot-long green torpedo the next day. These particularly large, free-range vegetables are the ones that get dumped on the break table at work.
There's not much wrong with tremendously large zucchini. Yet, the University of Illinois website, http://urbanext. illinois.edu/veggies/ssquash.cfm, tells folks to harvest squash while they're small. Ginormous units will be woody, and maybe more importantly, can sap the life out of the rest of the plant, these experts advise.
But I can think of several side benefits of enormous vegetables, such as Fourth of July garden catapults (consider this "launching complaints" about your neighbors' dogs).
You can get some pumpkin carving practice, dress up like Gallagher and scare toddlers, create compostable serving bowls, feed to chickens, ad infinitum.
While chatting about zucchini recently, a friend suggested making a soup base from the green edible. But if zucchini soup was all that grand, wouldn't Campbell's already have this readily available?
At least 100 zuke scarfing ideas
One-hundred zucchini recipes can be found at the TreeHugger website, including several for soup, http://www.treehugger.com/green-food/100-ways-to-cook-zucchini.html.
Facebook friends said they'll add zukes to tomato sauce and eat like soup; as zucchini parmesan with cheese, red sauce and turkey patties; use instead of noodles in lasagna; and with shrimp or chicken alfredo.
The healthful food also makes great filler for many dishes, and I've even been known to "hide" vegetables.
Fried potatoes, for example, can mask the fact that a nutritious squash is among the food units. The trick for me is to undercook squash of all kinds, and add romano cheese when available.
Many of the recipes for large amounts of zucchini often involve baking, which just isn't going to happen in my house when it's hot. Yet, throwing a mix of vegetables into the wire barbecue basket and drizzling with spices and olive oil is pretty darn yummy.
Then there are all those recipes that seem to be created in the time of our great-grandmothers when you had to find creative ways to eat whatever was available. That's where we get persimmon cookies, green tomato pie, green tomato anything and things that call for shredded squash.
I've had excellent zucchini bread. But then, wouldn't most things taste good when baked with brown sugar and cinnamon?
Take your rubber chicken to a work day
If you don't have a place of your own to grow enormously large zucchini, the new community garden on Humboldt Ave. (at El Monte) has a lot of open space.
I tried to meet Butte Environmental Council member Mark Stemen there this week, but he had more important things to do.
But that meant I was free to pose my rubber chicken in all sorts of compromising positions.
People who show up at the garden have built enviable raised beds and a tarpless tee-pee for beans.
A work day is planned for 8 am. (when its cool) until noon Saturday. BEC executive director Robyn DiFalco said they'll be planting ornamentals and generally moving dirt around. You can also show up and decide if you want to rent your own garden plot, which starts at $25 to pay for water and insurance.
I was very impressed by the work done so far, including some places where the soil was so lush I left a footprint.
For more photos of the garden, and my rubber companion, check out my blog at www.norcalblogs.com/sowthere.

I love this scent, it smells like vanilla sugar cookies. I do wish it was a bit more tropical with a coconut scent. Otherwise it gives your hair a little bit of wave but I still have to use a curling iron after if i want a lot of wave. Have yet to find the perfect sea salt spray.3

I cannot fault Zintech service - the TomTom satnav arrived as stated by Zintech and returning the equipment was very straight forward.
Use of the Tomtom in South Africa saved a lot of map reading stress and by entering longtitude and latitude coordinates for the lodge in the game reserve, it got us there with hesistation or deviation.
Would highly recommend.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Earlier this morning I said that whenever I settle down and take a serious look at the policies Barack Obama has pursued so far, "nine times out of ten" it's pretty much what I expected. Among big-ticket items, the biggest one-time-out-of-ten where he's not doing what I expected is in the area of detainee and civil liberties issues. Glenn Greenwald wonders if this is what led to the abrupt resignation of Phil Carter the other day:
I have no idea what actually motivated Carter's abrupt resignation, but here's what I do know: so many of the detention and other "War on Terror" policies Obama has explicitly adopted were the very same ones which Carter (as well as Obama) repeatedly railed against during the Bush years, in Carter's case primarily in blogs he maintained both at The Washington Post and at Slate. Whatever else is true, the policies Obama has adopted in the last six months in the very areas of Carter's responsibilities were ones Carter vehemently condemned when implemented by Bush.
Last week, the Obama DOJ announced that it would deny trials to several Guantanamo detainees and instead send them to military commissions....announced two weeks ago that Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, whose case originated as a criminal investigation with the FBI, would now be turned over to a military commission for prosecution....use of the "state secrets" privilege as a means of evading vital constitutional and other legal questions.
....Following Greg Craig, this is now the second high-profile resignation of a relatively devoted civil libertarian in a short period of time. Combine that with the still-missing-and-unconfirmed Dawn Johnsen, and all of this leaves those who are indifferent or hostile to civil liberties values — people like John Brennan and Rahm Emanuel — with even fewer counter-weights than before.
I don't have any special insights here either. Maybe Phil was disappointed in Obama, or maybe he really did resign for personal reasons. There's no telling. But it's a disappointment either way, as is Obama's unwillingness to fight harder for civil liberties. The shoals of reality have just proven a little too rocky.
