This Saturday I will be giving a public presentation, with video, at the Presidio Yacht Club in Fort Baker at the north end of the Golden Gate Bridge in Sausalito. This place has special memories for me – last summer's successful row from San Francisco to Hawaii launched from there. The presentation is free and will be followed by a "Santa Maria" Barbeque dinner downstairs … Continued
San Francisco Bay Area
Woodside, near San Francisco, CA I was up at five o'clock this morning to drive up to town for my maiden row on San Francisco Bay. It was dark and cold as Quackers and I headed up I-280 and through the slowly-wakening city to South End Rowing Club. Paul greeted me at the door and showed me to our craft – a clinker-built wooden boat … Continued

Reviews for this host's other properties
studio very well located, very agreable.Un neighborhood very convenient pied a terre in Paris.
studio tres bien situé,quartier tres agreable.Un pied a terre tres convenable dans Paris.
cozy little studio located in the 10. arrondissement. It's a nice neigbourhood, perfect to explore the city. It's very small but for a few nights it's perfect.
It was a beautiful cozy apartment. However, the best part of this place is its location. It couldn't have been any better. My only suggestion to the owner would be to have one double bed instead to two single beds that are really hard to place side by side.
Highly recommended: great organization, great apartment, great neighborhood, great city :)
Comfortable apartment, complete with all the comforts. Excellent location a few meters from the Place de la Republique where there is a meter with 3 lines. A few minutes walk from the Marais and the Ile de la Cité (15/20 minutes). Nearby there are supermarkets (Franprix a few meters, Monoprix - a little larger 'farther), boulangerie (one just around the corner) and chain restaurants, from low-level type MacDonald and Quick type Hippopotamus (excellent meat ), bistro, brasserie. There are 4 beds but to open both sofa beds must be a bit move them away from each other. The two windows overlooking the courtyard, the area quiet and safe. The apartment is located on the 2nd floor with beautiful wooden stairs, a few niggles with pushchairs and prams unless you ask for the opportunity to put them in a storage room in the courtyard, however, is a detail in Paris because if you take the meters with strollers or wheelchairs is a continuous and open or close loading and unloading, you should be at least two adults (some stops have the ascensone or escalators that take you to level without the stairs).
Appartamento confortevole e completo di tutti i confort. Posizione eccellente a pochi metri da Place de la Republique dove c'è la metro con 3 linee. A pochi minuti a piedi dal Marais o dall'Ile de la Cité (15/20 minuti circa). Nei dintorni ci sono supermercati (Franprix a pochi metri, Monoprix - più grande un po' più lontano), boulangerie (una proprio dietro l'angolo) e catene di ristoranti, dal livello basso tipo MacDonald e Quick a livello tipo Hippopotamus (carne eccellente), cafè, brasserie.
Ci sono 4 posti letto ma per aprire entrambi i divani letto bisogna un po allontanarli l'uno dall'altro. Le due finestre danno all'interno del cortile, la zona e tranquilla e sicura. L'appartamento si trova al 2° piano con bellissime scale di legno, qualche problemino con passeggini e carrozzine a meno che non si chieda la possibilità di metterli in un locale di deposito nel cortile, comunque è un dettaglio perché a Parigi se si prende la metro con passeggini o carrozzine è un continuo chiudere ed aprire o caricare e scaricare, è bene essere almeno due adulti (solo alcune fermate hanno l'ascensone o scale mobili che ti portano a livello senza fare delle scale).
A friend of Eric explained everything very well. He answered our questions and we could always call him, when we had a problem.
The apartment is super. It is small but nice.
Het appartement ligt super. Het is klein maar fijn.
Highly recommended, a great location, the facilities and the equipment is optimal. We were three people there and we felt very well who want to experience Paris is right here!
Sehr zu empfehlen, super gelegen, die Ausstattung und die Einrichtung ist optimal. Wir waren mit drei Personen dort und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, wer Paris erleben will ist hier genau richtig!
+: Great value considering the average rent amount; good location also for those who like to walk instead of using public transportation (about 30min walk from Notre Dame Cathedral); microwave oven and washer-dryer gives you lots of flexibility and money savings.
-: Cleanness not up to expectations, bed size pretty small compared to standards in Italy,
apartment clean, organized in a lively neighborhood. secured building. I recommend it to anyone wanting a comfortable stay
appart propre, organisé, dans un quartier vivant.
immeuble securisé.
Je le conseille à toute personne voulant passer un séjour confortable

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- University of Tennessee tennis player Simon Rea lost his semifinal match at the 2002 Omni Hotels Region III Indoor Championships Monday morning, snapping a four-match winning streak in which he knocked off three seeded opponents.
Rea was finally defeated by No. 2 seed Bobby Reynolds of Vanderbilt, the nation's 9th ranked player. Despite winning the first set, the Vol junior lost 6-7(4), 6-4, 6-2. Rea was not seeded in the event.
The loss brought Rea's singles record to a team-best 10-3 so far this fall. He has also amassed an impressive 3-1 mark thus far against opponents ranked in the top-100.
"Simon (Rea) played a great match today," Tennessee associate head coach Chris Mahony said. "He most certainly left everything he had on the court and came up just a fraction short against one of the best players in the country. He had an exceptional tournament and all of his hard work is paying off. He should take a lot of confidence into the (USTA/UT Men's Pro Challenger) in 10 days time, as well as the coming spring dual-match season."
The tournament's top two seeds met in Monday afternoon's final. Reynolds fell to the nation's top-ranked player, Kentucky's Jesse Witten 6-2, 6-4.
The tennis Vols' next action will come at the USTA/UT Men's Pro Challenger at the Goodfriend Indoor Tennis Center on the University of Tennessee campus Nov. 10-17.

Read the latest blog by a Boston Children's doctor, clinician or staff member.
There are many ways you can help children and their families get the care they need.
Voiding dysfunction means that your child is unable to completely empty her bladder.
In a normal cycle, your child's bladder stretches easily when it fills with urine and then contracts fully during voiding.
There should be no premature contractions of the bladder or increases in pressure as it fills.
During the normal voiding phase, there should be complete relaxation of the external urethral sphincter muscle, so the urine released from the bladder flows smoothly and completely, without interruption, as the bladder empties itself.
An interrupted or intermittent flow of urine or incomplete emptying are causes of voiding dysfunction.
Urodynamics testing
Boston Children's Hospital uses urodynamics testing to evaluate how your child's bladder carries out its two main functions: filling and emptying. The results of this testing will allow your child's physicians to better diagnose and voiding dysfunction.
We are grateful to have been ranked #1 on U.S. News & World Report's list of the best children's hospitals in the nation for the third year in a row, an honor we could not have achieved without the patients and families who inspire us to do our very best for them. Thanks to you, Boston Children's is a place where we can write the greatest children's stories ever told."

KEY LARGO -- A Key Largo couple has opened a meat store aimed at offering customers larger cuts for lower prices.
Santiago and Cary Perez opened Island Wholesale Meats last week in the median at Mile Marker 98.8.
The couple will be assisted by daughter Kayle, a Coral Shores High School student.
Santiago Perez, who worked as a butcher when younger, said the market will only offer high-quality meats that fall under the USDA categories of Prime and Choice.
"We offer higher quantity, but it is great quality," Santiago said. "We're great for grilling,"
Some of the beef cuts offered include outside skirt, tenderloin and ribeye. Customers can also choose from a variety of meats, including spare ribs, ox tail, goat and grilling sausages.
"We have everything down to the grilling salt," Cary said.
The store will also have a separate cooler for a selection of cheeses.
Latin foods, including yucca and tostones, will be prominently featured as the market hopes to target Miami residents coming down to the Keys for the weekend.
"Now they don't have to bring their meat with them," Cary said.
She said many weekend residents stop at Costco or other wholesalers to get their meat before driving to the Keys.
"Now they can wait until they get down here and take it out on the boat with them," she said.
The store also offers disposable plates, cups and utensils for grilling. Styrofoam coolers are also for sale.
By next year, the couple hopes to open a second store and eventually work their way down the Keys.
The store hosted a grand opening Saturday and offered free samples of meats and beer.
Regular store hours will be 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.

Twenty Best Blues Albums
If you were to own only 20 Blues albums, which would they be?
Let us help you decide. Here is our list of the BEST BLUES RECORDS ever.
These albums, as well as being the greatest music ever heard, also tell a story.
Before the 60's, most Blues records sold as singles, so most of the selections here are compilation albums. After the 60's we have selected the outstanding album or the live set which shows the best of the artist's talents.
Our list covers all ages of the Blues, from the early "Country Music" styles through to the electric Blues of the City. The Blues has traveled around the world and back again, and our list reflects this. Sonny Boy II may have stated "These white boys want to play the Blues so bad… and they do!" but to our ears they sound pretty good.
Blues Originators.
'The Blues' originated as a style of local folk music from around the Mississippi Delta as the 20th Century began. Its influence was spread across the Southern States by travelling shows and 'wandering songsters' like Lead Belly and Blind Lemon Jefferson, who sang Blues songs along with folk ballads, spirituals and Ragtime ditties, and both used Blues forms in their own compositions in their later recording careers.
In 1920, the first Blues song was recorded by Mamie Smith, and when 'Crazy Blues' sold close to a million copies all the record companies looked for their own Blues Diva. The greatest of these Divas was Bessie Smith, inspired by her mentor Ma Rainey, and she was a rôle model for many female Blues stars to follow.
Back in the Delta, Charley Patton was setting an example himself, inspiring other Bluesmen like Son House, Robert Johnson, Howlin'Wolf and many more. By the end of the decade, most of these important players had made records, and in the 30s Johnson himself revolutionised the Blues with his exuberant, polyrhythmic guitar style, and his songs provided a 'blueprint' for future generations.
As African-Americans moved from rural poverty to the cities in the 'Great Migration' after WWI, Big Bill Broonzy was a central figure on the 30s Chicago scene. He helped to develop the idea of a Blues Band, with guitar, piano and harp, and incorporated jazz-influenced complexity into the urban sound.
Blind Lemon Jefferson was one of the first Bluesmen to record his own material, rather than re-telling popular songs. These 28 tracks are some of the earliest Blues recordings ever made so, despite re-mastering, they might sound a little scratchy to modern ears, but there is nothing wrong with the quality of the music. From famous songs like 'Match Box Blues' and 'See My Grave is Kept Clean' to novelties and religious tunes, this album gives fine examples of Lemon's slide guitar and boogie styles.
The Empress of the Blues, Bessie was a genuine superstar in the 20's and a Force of Nature all her life. She put the Blues on stage and proceeded to knock 'em in the aisles. From her first recordings as a 'Blues Diva' in 1923 to her final sessions, this fully rounded collection of 36 tracks includes collaborations with Louis Armstrong, Coleman Hawkins and Benny Goodman. Bessie was the first major 'crossover' artist, whose music was played in 'speakeasies' all over The States.
This Box-set is unbelievable value: all the songs from the Grammy winning Revenent collection at a third of the price! The 92 tracks here give a comprehensive account of how the original Delta Blues sounded at the hands of a Master. With a voice echoed by Wolf and Beefheart, Charley set the standard for much that followed, and he is joined by Son House, Willie Brown and Son Sims on some tracks. The performances are electrifying and careful re-mastering has made this a very listenable set of albums.
Lead Belly was the quintessential old-time travelling songster, with an enormous and varied repertoire of folk, blues, ballads, work songs, prison songs, political songs and children's ditties. His career fully spanned the first half of the twentieth century, from the cat-houses of Shreveport to the stages of Paris. This 36 track compilation covers most of Lead Belly's styles, which would be typical of early wandering Bluesmen. More of the same fantastic quality on further volumes- 'Bourgeois Blues' & 'Shout On'.
King of the Delta Blues. Legend says this haunted young man sold his soul to the Devil in exchange for his extraordinary skills on guitar. His complex, polyrhythmic technique influenced every generation of guitarists that followed, and he wrote some enduring Blues classics. His total recorded output was confined to two sessions in Texas in Nov. '36 and June '37, comprising 29 songs. The 42 tracks here include some alternate versions, and are arguably the most influential music of the whole 20th Century.
Big Bill was the Main Man on the Chicago Blues scene in the inter-war years, fostering the transition from rural to urban Blues. His own considerable songwriting skills and huge repertoire reflect this change, and his flatpicking guitar style and great voice made him a star of the Folk/Blues revival of the fifties. This bargain, re-mastered double CD has his finest album, 'Big Bill's Blues' plus three more collections, totalling 45 tracks, which show the breadth of the man's talent.
The Golden Age.
When Muddy Waters arrived in Chicago from the Delta in 1942, he realised the Blues would have to LOUD in the noisy city. When he plugged himself in, Electric Blues was born and his big selling records on the Chess label meant everyone quickly followed him. His biggest rival at Chess was Howlin' Wolf, whose voice could move mountains, and they competed to see who could get the next big song from writer, bass-player and producer Willie Dixon. The harp player in Muddy's band was Little Walter, and he carved a place of his own in Blues history with his dazzling harp lines, and when Rice 'Sonny Boy II' Miller came to town, he added a whole bag-full of juke-joint tricks to the harp repertoire.
Chicago was not the only place to hear the Blues: in Detroit John Lee Hooker's mesmerising one-chord boogies had people dancing, and in New Orleans their piano and sax driven music had a 'rhumba-boogie' beat. Professor Longhair's funky piano opened the way for Fats Domino and Little Richard to play what became known as Rock'n'Roll when it crossed over into the mainstream.
Over the pond in Europe, post-WWII youth was beginning to appreciate the Blues, and BB King's soulful, sustained guitar notes fired some creative young imaginations.
Modern electric Blues starts here. Born in the Delta and recorded at Stovall's Plantation by Alan Lomax, Muddy was a revelation when he got to Chicago and plugged himself in. This three album set covers his work over 25 years from his first session in 1947, and mixes the essential singles with rare unreleased tracks to give a comprehensive chronicle of the King of Electric Blues. The list of Muddy's side-men reads like a roster of Chicago Legends, and they support his distinctive guitar work on 72 fantastic tracks.
Little Walter made the Blues harp, or 'Mississippi Sax', an essential part of the Chess Records sound as he played those big, fat tones in Muddy's band. He went on to be a solo star, and the 20 tracks in this compilation are all taken from his hit singles, including 'Juke', 'My Babe', 'Mean Ol' World' and 'Boom, Boom, Out Go the Lights'. These original tracks show off Little Walters unique, pioneering talents that became a blueprint for the Chicago sound that still powers Blues Bands today.
Rice Miller hung around the Mississippi Delta with Robert Johnson, yet his career lasted long enough to see him play with Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page. In between he drank a lot of whiskey, was a radio DJ for 15 years on The King Biscuit Time show, and wrote and played some of the finest harmonica Blues ever recorded. A consummate showman, with a bag full of juke-joint tricks, these 20 tracks from the sly, laconic maestro include his best known recordings for Chess and have backing from Robert Jr. Lockwood and Buddy Guy.
This is essentially a musical biography of one of the titanic figures in the story of the Blues. His distinctive voice and primitive guitar technique make John Lee a unique performer. The early, stripped down hits for Modern and VeeJay; the Chess years; 70s collaborations with Canned Heat; his late revival with Bonnie Raitt, they are all here. The 31 tracks on this double-CD trace the journey John Lee, and the Blues, made from the Delta to the city, and on to the whole world.
The much under-rated Professor pioneered the funky New Orleans piano sound that drove so much early Rock'n'Roll. 'Fess' played his 'rhumba-boogie' piano on these sessions in 1949-53, and you can hear the music of Fats Domino, Allen Toussaint and Dr. John in every line. Backed by spectacular brass arrangements, this is how the Blues got the whole world dancing. If he hadn't been so reluctant to leave his native city, 'Fess' would have been a big star, but his musical influence got everywhere.
No Blues collection is complete without some BB, and if you plan to own just one live Blues album, this IS the one. Recorded with a wild Chicago audience in 1964, this record was hugely influential. ' Nuff said.
European Blues
British kids in the early 60s felt like a downtrodden class, oppressed by rigid social conventions and dull prospects. They took up the language of the Blues and used it to spark a worldwide youth revolution, with music as its main communication. Bands like the Beatles and Rolling Stones were the standard-bearers in this, but Eric Clapton's interpretations of Delta and Chicago Blues were perhaps more inspirational in the long term, and Jeff Beck practically invented Blues-Rock and Heavy Metal on a single album!
This music reverberated around the world and had a huge effect back in America, as new audiences picked up on music that had only been popular in African-American communities. Old Blues players got a chance to record again, (and get paid this time!) and Howlin' Wolf played on 'Shindig'.
Britain was not the only source of new Blues over the water, as Ireland contributed the inimitable talents of Rory Gallagher and the sublime Gary Moore.
BLUESBREAKERS with ERIC CLAPTON
Known as 'The Beano Album', this opened up the Blues to a new young audience on both sides of the Atlantic. Eric Clapton had left the Yardbirds because he thought they were going 'commercial' and this album, recorded with John Mayall's superb band, is a powerful statement of his intent. Clean production allows the passionate enegy of the music to shine through, and it set a high benchmark for others to aspire to. It's probably no exaggeration to say Blues-Rock starts here, and it's devastating stuff.
The late 60s were a time of experimentation and this album is full of it. When Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, Ronnie Wood and Keith Moon fool around with some Chicago Classics and write some new Blues too, the result is sensational. It laid the foundations of Blues-Rock and Heavy Metal, inspired the formation of Led Zeppelin, and it's still amazingly fresh today. Remastered to get rid of some studio glitches, this essential music has never sounded better. (Not all experiments work, so lets forget Greensleeves: she'd been rolling in the grass!)
And if you plan to own just two live Blues albums, this is the other one! The energy positively crackles from his fingers as Rory plays to his home-countrymen, even in the acoustic numbers. Rory was a guitarist of outstanding inventive skills who knew he was 'standing on the shoulders of giants', and he touched the hearts of his audience with his blistering interpretation of the Blues. Combining the best of his own songs with masterly versions of some classic tunes, Rory 'brings it home' in style.
Return to the Heartlands
In 60s America, a new audience for the Blues meant that young men like Paul Butterfield, who learned his harp skills in South-side Chicago clubs where he was often the only white face, could sell millions of albums. Buddy Guy was one of the second wave of West-side guitarists who came up at this time, and his work with Junior Wells began after the 'British Invasion' and lasted for decades. When the dust settled, Blues and Blues-Rock had been established as a cornerstone of music, with records in the charts, specialist Blues labels and at least one club in every town.
When Stevie-Ray Vaughan came along in the 80s, the Blues was suffering a period of respite, but his hard-rocking Texas Roadhouse style brought it to the fore again along with new names like Robert Cray and Albert Collins, and even John Lee Hooker had a worldwide hit album.
Willie Dixon said, "Blues is the roots, and all the other music is the fruits." The legacy of the Blues has penetrated all forms of modern music. It was the basis of Rock'n'Roll; it mingled with Gospel music to give us Soul; it gave a form to Hard Rock; you can even trace the roots of Rap to early 'talking Blues'. It continues to inspire young musicians to experiment with the form, and people like Ben Harper, Joe Bonamassa and The Tedeschi/Trucks Band on keep thrilling huge audiences and selling ship-loads of albums.
In the wake of The British Invasion, Paul Butterfield hired Howlin' Wolf's rhythm section make this landmark album in modern Blues. Adding the twin guitars of Mike Bloomfield and Elvin Bishop, Paul brought the music of his hometown to a new, young, white audience. His heartfelt harp playing, on covers of some Chicago classics and the band's own songs, has the rough and ready quality that shows his passion for the music he had learned from the Legends in those South-side clubs.
Like the end of 'Casablanca', this was the start of a 'beautiful friendship'. Junior and Buddy Guy (in the guise of 'Friendly Chap' for contractual reasons) were feeling free to express themselves and obviously having a great time putting down these priceless sessions. This version of the disc includes a lot of studio banter and several alternate takes, on top of the original 12 tracks. As a document of how Chicago Blues sounded in the mid-60s, it is a superb example. No wonder that 'beautiful friendship' lasted over 30 years.
STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN – TEXAS FLOOD (30th Anniversary Collection)
There can only be only one choice for the definitive Stevie Ray Vaughan album, as it had such a huge world-wide impact. Texas Flood stayed in the charts for six months, an astonishing feat at the time, and the band were so tight from months of playing these songs, it comes over like a club set on a night when they were smokin'. It practically started the 80s Blues revival all by itself, and this 30th Anniversary edition also has a bonus CD of a great gig in Philly in 1983. Essential Blues Rock.Buy from Amazon
This album is a sublime example of modern Blues-Rock, with a combination of slow, soulful Blues, 'film-noire' soundtracks and good-time boogie numbers. On his ninth studio album, Joe's increasing confidence as a writer, as heard on 'Black Lung Heartache', 'Slow Train' and the title track, allows his songs to touch a nerve in the collective memory, like the best Blues should. It is astounding that, in the new Century, this archaic musical form still gives us such inspiring experiences.

Pipe bomb found, detonated in residential neighborhood
State bomb experts de[auth] tonated a pipe bomb discovered in a residential neighborhood Friday night.
A resident found what looked like an explosive pipe near the corner of Lusk Drive and Washington Avenue and called Roswell Police Department's emergency dispatch center. According to police spokeswoman Sabrina Morales, officers were dispatched at 3:30 p.m.
"We went out there initially in response," Morales said.
Once the device was identified as a bomb, Roswell officers notified New Mexico State Police, who dispatched its bomb squad, Morales said.
State Police Sgt. Jay Blakeney from the NMSP Roswell office said two bomb experts were dispatched to "take care of it."
No one was injured in the explosion. The incident was wrapped up by 5 p.m., according to Roswell Police reports.
The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives out of Las Cruces was also notified and took over as lead agency for the investigation.
The device was detonated at the location and the bomb squad "rendered it safe," according to Agent Raphael Martinez, resident agent in charge from the ATF.
"It's an ongoing investigation," Martinez said. "We are working closely with the state police."
Investigators are still looking into where the device was constructed and if it was homemade, he said.
"Each one is unique," Martinez said.
Martinez declined to say whether the bomb was near any property. The neighborhood is lined with manufactured homes situated next to an open field.
Officials declined to speculate whether the device was the latest attempt at another arson. Roswell has seen several cases of suspected arson in the past few months.
Martinez said this incident does not appear to be connected to the latest outbreak of residential fires.
"I can't go into whether this happens often," he said. "But it is not part of arson to my knowledge."
Police suspect arson in a rash of house fires along the 1400 block of South Mulberry Avenue in February and possibly in a travel trailer blaze on East Jefferson Street on March 3, where fire investigators found a broken beer bottle with a charred cloth in it and accelerants on top of the trailer. Multiple other fires in dumpsters and other activity was been reported.
Anyone with information about suspicious activity is asked to call police immediately at 624-6770, fire investigators at 624-3830, or Crime Stoppers at 888-594-TIPS (8477).

SectorsRural Finance
It is estimated that more than a billion people lack access to the basic financial services which are essential for them to manage their precarious lives. Rural finance can be considered as one of the tools in poverty reduction and rural development.The Consultative Group to Assist the Poor (CGAP) defines rural finance as "financial services offered and used in rural areas by people of all income levels", including farm and non-farm population. It encompasses diverse types of products and services, such as loans, deposits, insurance, remittances,... Rural finance is a sub-sector of the financial sector and includes agricultural finance, which is dedicated to financing agricultural related activities such as input supply, production, distribution, wholesale, processing and marketing. It also includes microfinance, which provides financial services for poor and low income people by offering smaller loans and savings services, while accepting a wider variety of assets as collateral, or lending without any collateral at all.Rural financial markets tend to be fragmented and work through a variety of institutions and organizations, including formal (such as banks and regulated microfinance institutions), semiformal (such as self-help groups, NGOs and cooperatives) and informal (such as rotating and non-rotating or accumulative savings and credit groups, village money lenders, shop owners, friends and relatives) institutions.On the whole, high transaction costs associated with dispersed populations and inadequate infrastructure, along with the particular needs and higher risk factors inherent in agriculture result in an under-provision of financial services in rural areas.This was particularly true in Eastern Europe and Central Asia (ECA) countries during the transition from the former Soviet Union system.In centrally planned economies, one of the predominant monetary policy instruments was credit allocation and lending at negative interest rates. Moreover, banks had a fiscal rather than an economic function: they distributed subsidies and supported production plans. With the transformation of centrally planned economies into market economies, credit costs rose and terms of trade deteriorated as a result of price liberalization, falling domestic and international demand, reduced domestic subsidies, and the breakdown of the former trading system. In addition to this general set of problems, rural financial institution-building faced specific obstacles including difficulties in the provision of credit collateral due to an unclear land property situation; the relatively high transaction costs related to supplying financial services to small enterprises; the still prevalent misuse of the financial sector to supply subsidies to bankrupt state-owned enterprises and the related poor financial discipline and credit repayment behaviour. The consequence was the development of weak financial intermediaries with large portfolios of non-performing loans.This lack of access to credit caused a high level of rural unemployment and poverty. Traditional forms of collateral often being not available, new forms of financing and security were required that took into account the value of agricultural products and the strengths of agricultural value chains and those involved in them. For example, Structured Finance (SF), which comprises, among others, warehouse receipts, forward contracting and loan guarantees, was developed precisely for using such non-conventional types of collateral.Sources: EastAgri; FAO; IFAD; The Rural Finance Learning Centre; CGAP.

It all began with my LOVE of desserts…pretty much anything baked for that matter. That being said, I also have serious commitment issues. So naturally, when I am faced with a dessert menu or a pastry case full of treats, I want to try a bite or two of EVERYTHING! I simply can't commit to just one piece of cake or a cookie the size of a dinner plate. Why doesn't somebody offer a variety of flavor profiles in small bite sized treats? Well, look no further, because that is exactly what About a Bite Bakery is all about. We offer bite-sized treats in a wide variety of flavors to fulfill that desire for a bite or two of 'everything'.

The former Japanese empire ran rampant over Asia bringing war, violence and rape to innocent people. In Europe during World War II the Nazi horror surpassed any prior example of destruction in human history. The people of Germany have acknowledged their guilt in such horror. But, the people of Japan continue insisting there was no rape in Nanking, their soliders did not kill millions of people, they are innocent victims of American aggresssion. Osaka Mayor Toru Hashimoto informed the world that 200,000 women from Korea and China who were forced into prostitution in order to serve sexual desires of Japanese soldiers was simply a necessary wartime matter. He notes that Japanese soldiers were away from home and needed some sex. Therefore, Asian women peformed a noble service in servicing desires of Japanse soldiers.
The mayor does not believe his comments were incorrect. However, "I admit that my international sensitivity was quite poor." Perhaps, the government of Japan might check with the German government regarding how a nation that caused death should respond. Step one is educating new generations about their murderous ancestors.

Aston Villa 3 Manchester City 2: Weimann winner completes stunning comeback
When the final whistle confirmed a staggering result, the Villa players trooped across to the loyalists at the Holte End.
Their faces were drawn and their legs were heavy but they smiled weary smiles as the songs of triumph rolled down the slope.
Statistically, it was merely their first home victory of the season. Realistically, it was very much more than that.

*Player ratings by Neil Moxley at Villa Park
A week ago, this City side had simply blown away the champions of England. On Saturday, they prepared to deliver a similarly brutal performance at Villa Park.
They enjoyed emphatic control, overwhelming possession and, for extended spells, a virtually unchallenged lead. Yet somehow, they contrived to squander every advantage.
City's Chilean manager Manuel Pellegrini was asked if he had been
surprised by the tenacity of the Premier League's smaller clubs, their
mulish refusal to recognise defeat. He shrugged his habitual shrug, like
a man incapable of surprise.
'It is something I know,' he said. 'Something I see every week.'
Well, perhaps. But even a worldly, well-worn fellow must have trembled a little at this setback.
For long and enthralling periods, City had worn the air of champions-elect.
Yaya Toure conducted affairs from midfield like a particularly inventive quarterback, the City defenders were enviably free from stress or challenge, while Alvaro Negredo and Edin Dzeko ran with muscular purpose at the front, a pair of enforcers with mayhem in mind.
And Villa had no real answers, save to work and scuffle and ride whatever luck they could find. And yet, the longer the match went on, the more comfortable they became.
While City had taken overwhelming control, they had created precious few authentic chances. If Villa could survive unscathed until halftime, they could reassess their problems and search out solutions. A
point might not be beyond their dreams.
Opener: Yaya Toure squeezed home the first goal for Manchester City as they took the lead at Villa Park
Will Man City lift silverware this term?
Mancherster City are 4/5 to win a trophy this season with Coral
They could not survive, however, and Paul Lambert's side conceded in the last minute of the first half.
Just as Toure's influence seemed to be waning, he made a stealthy advance and released a crashing drive
which reared off Nathan Baker for a corner.
Samir Nasri lifted the ball
in from the left, a deflection took it to the edge of the box and there
was Toure, prodding a shot and seeing it sneak in off the legs of Villa
goalkeeper Brad Guzan. And that, we assumed, was that.
Somehow, City emerged from the dressing room for the start of the second half looking even stronger. They oozed power and authority, like a side intending to go from here to next May without breaking stride.
Unhappy: Samir Nasri tries to remonstrate with officials at half time but his held back by his team-mates
Come with me: Vincent Kompany leads Nasri away from the referee Michael Jones
Level: Karim El Ahmadi shoots past Joe Hart to equalise for Aston Villa
Incredibly, this was the cue for Villa to score an improbable goal. Leandro Bacuna, a wing-back who had been forced into fighting alongside Villa's back three, infiltrated down the right, three City defenders kept static watch and the ball was slipped through to Karim El Ahmadi. Although he looked suspiciously offside, he drove his shot home and Villa were level.
Nasri enjoyed some undeserved fortune three minutes later, when his petulant hack at Bacuna might
have brought him a red card rather than a caution, but the City forward stayed around long enough to take the 56th-minute corner which Dzeko's header brushed into the far corner. Normal service was resumed and the outcome seemed more obvious than ever.
Back in front: Edin Dzeko nodded Manchester City ahead for the second time
Navas, described as 'a snip' at £15million, came on for Nasri and
swiftly revealed electrifying pace and control, while Pellegrini wore a
more tranquil air on the touchline, until the world went mad. For Villa
discovered equality after 73 minutes, when Matija Nastasic tripped
Andreas Weimann on the fringe of the penalty area and Bacuna struck a
quite perfect free-kick, which lifted, dipped and curled
past City's England goalkeeper Joe Hart.
Two minutes later, the plot became totally absurd. A long kick by Villa keeper Guzan went bouncing
between City's central defenders, Weimann ran on and persuaded the ball beyond Hart. Nastasic went sprinting back in pursuit but lost the race by a yard. And Villa were in front!
And there they stayed, splendidly and improbably, giving Lambert only his sixth home win in a total of
22 home League matches.
seemed lost for words at the end but he was not alone. For it was a day
when only the most outrageous of clichés would do - it really is a
funny old game.
Level again: Manchester City keeper Joe Hart can only watch as Leandro Bacuna (not pictured) scores
Cheers boss: Bacuna celebrates after scoring with Aston Villa's manager Paul Lambert

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Businesses should act ethically and take ownership of mistakes that hurt consumers. Best Rank, Inc., a San Diego based search engine optimization company provided me with the worst customer experience I've ever received and it cost me financially. I've never filed a written complaint about a company before, but Best Rank, Inc. treated me so poorly I highly discourage anyone from using this company for their SEO needs.
Best Rank used my credit card to set up accounts with several vendors on my behalf. I asked for 1 year subscriptions and got confirmation from Best Rank that 1 year subscriptions would be set up on my behalf. Instead, they used my credit card to set up recurring annual payments that cost me a lot of money each year. When I confronted them about this they denied any wrongdoing. I provided them with written documentation regarding our agreement and they acted unethically and refused to take ownership for their mistake and wouldn't offer a reimbursement. This mistake really hurt me financially.
Additionally, when I asked for the account usernames and passwords they set up on my behalf, it took over 3 months for them to reply with this information. Best Rank conveyed to me that they don't care about my business. A simple reimbursement for the amount I was incorrectly charged was all that was needed to fix the mistake, but this never happened.

I wish I could give a zero rating what a bunch of crooks. Please stay away if you don't want to be riped-off, scamed out of your money. I ordered a stereo, A Sony 7.1 Channel Receiver with six HDMI ports, As stated on their website. In print and pictures from these crooks. The stereo arrived in a brand new box, the description, the model number everything looked good. So I put it aside while waiting for my 55in HDTV to arrive. So far so good, when my TV arrived i opened my brand new Surround sound receiver box, surprise, surprise the stereo inside was not what was advertised, It was a 10 year old stereo. This thing was so old it did not even have HDMI ports LOL. When I contacted edljoy_books I was told you did not contact us in a timely matter. But in the spirit of Christmas we will refund or replace the item for you upon recipt of the stereo at your expense. I spent $35 to return the item in the same pakaging it was shipped to me. Via priority mail. Three days later I got an email saying "we received the stereo but it was damaged, either by you or the post office", therefore we can t help you. I then turn to Amazon for help since they are an Amazon storefront. And I am an Amazon Prime member, Been a loyal customers for many years. Made thousands of dollars in purchases. To my surprise Amazon also refused to help me. They did not care that someone doing business under their name blatantly stole from me. So here I am with no Stereo, no refund and out of the shipping fees I had to pay to return the dinosaur to them. Please do not buy anything from these crooks. See their email reply to me below.

Please allow me to break this down for you. You can't prove that I sent the wrong stereo, I can't prove that I did. You can't prove that you didn't break stereo and ship it back. In the end this comes down to your word versus mine. I have a broken 500 series receiver. You MIGHT have a working 700 series receiver that I shipped you. I can't prove that, neither can you. That is why there are return deadlines in place. Be a responsible consumer, especially when purchasing used electronics.
I wish you the best and hope that somehow you can see that a business has the right to protect itself from unscrupulous customers, just as a consumer has the right to protection from unscrupulous sellers. I'm not calling you unscrupulous, but I am saying that the time frame does lead in that direction.
This will be our last communication with you, best wishes.

Know Your Enemy: Toronto FC #2
OTF's Stephen Mangat ponders perpetual suckiness and other deep thoughts…
Major American sports leagues, particularly the NFL and MLS, are structured to discourage prolonged success and prolonged failure. Parity is the goal of the leagues; they want to create competitive balance and ensure no team's fans become truly hopeless, yet certain franchises suck year-after-year, generation-after-generation.
This perpetual suckiness is fascinating and these franchises (e.g. Cleveland Browns, Cincinnati Bengals, Chivas USA, Chicago Cubs, KC Royals) need to be studied, as it seems that it's much harder to be consistently bad than it is to be consistently good. Lucky for you, Fire fans, you'll have a chance to view this interesting futility this weekend when Toronto FC comes to town! So grab your binoculars and notebook as we take a look at this mess…
Ryan Nelsen is in charge, for now. Kevin Payne was recently fired as Toronto's GM and Nelsen was his guy, as both played key roles in DC United's 2004 MLS Cup-winning season. Payne's replacement is Tim Bezbatchenko, who is basically a bean-counter who previously worked for the MLS "negotiating and drafting player contracts, as well as finalizing loan and transfer agreements for the import and export of players to and from MLS." When hired, the TFC club owner stated, "Tim brings an analytical mind to the job, along with the best understanding that I've seen of the salary cap and how to manage it."
So it'll be interesting to see how Nelsen and Bez co-exist. It could work well with the coach taking care of the sporting matters and the suit handling the business ones, which is similar to how it's done in Spain, Italy, and Germany. Or, it could be a disaster with Nelsen wanting control of not only the on-field matters (via a straight-as-an-arrow 4-4-2), but also off-field ones like player acquisition and all the training staff (a la England).
Regular starter Joe Bendik is suspended, so it'll be Stefan Frei in net. The oft-injured Frei is probably more talented, but a preseason injury left the door open for Bendik (who has played well). It's worth noting that Frei is out of contract at the end of the season, so it doesn't take a genius to see why he isn't getting much playing time.
The back four (Mark Bloom, Steven Caldwell, Doneil Henry, Ashtone Morgan) is without talent but they're not completely inept. In fact, they've conceded fewer goals than Chicago this season. Nonetheless, don't expect any slick play from the back. In the mold of their manager, they play it safe and are no frills.
Bobby Convey on the left and Alvaro Rey on the right provide the attacking thrust and the men in the center (Darel Russell, Jeremy Hall) are Dax McCartys (ie, hustlers/foulers who can't pass more than 15 yards forward). These players, combined with Nelsen's tactics, make it quite simple to deal with TFC, though Rey (signed in late July) looks like a real difference maker and had a hand in all four goals in TFC's win over DC United in late September.
It'll be newly acquired big man Bright Dike up top with either Rob Earnshaw, Andrew Wiederman, or Jonathan Osorio. It's simple stuff in that Dike will try to win balls in the air and the other guy will run off him.
How can Chicago win?
Patient and aggressive
Chicago can dominate possession in this game, but they can't keep the ball without creating pressure. With Anangonó up top, Lindpere and Duka have a target for crosses. With Alex and Larentowicz in midfield, the Fire have players that can shoot. And with Mike Magee, they have the league's top goal scorer. Since Chicago can score goals in many ways, they need to keep the ball and create chances from all areas. Eventually a breakthrough will come.
Contain Rey
Alvaro Rey is TFC's spark and if he can be contained, TFC goes flaccid. With Chicago's left side being a bit suspect defensively at times, Klopas needs to figure out how to handle Rey without significantly impacting the Fire's ability to consistently attack.
Feed Anangonó
Juan Luis Anangonó seems to improve with each game and he should be too much for TFC's defenders to handle. Even if he doesn't score, La Pantera creates space and opportunity for his teammates. So with a nod to Keyshawn Johnson, just give Anangonó the damn ball.
Good luck, Fire fans. As expected, the useless Philadelphia Union failed to win in DC last weekend and now they're going to Montreal. Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking.

I have been considering buying a good 1911 style Airsoft pistol for awhile, how many of you use them for training in the house and backyard?

I have been considering buying a good 1911 style Airsoft pistol for awhile, how many of you use them for training in the house and backyard?
I use them for retention and disarm drills. I\'d like to take a force on force class at some point.
Hmm, that would be a good excuse to get one, eh??? Let me see if that will work. If I come back with a black eye.......I put too much mascara on.
You can also get little paint BBs to shoot through them. I don\'t have one but a friend of mine uses one for stray cats and dogs....
When I lived in Hawaii I used to be pretty big on airsoft, there was a place called poweredge that had a indoor/outdoor cqb setup in which you could pay $10 and play all day. Ive seen people from all branches of the military who were top notch combat troops get their asses handed to them by a group of 16 year old kids, only time I saw a military group come in and do some damage was a bunch of MP\'s from Ft Shafter who came down for Sgt\'s time training, they were pretty good at covering each other in the rooms.
This time of the year, when I can not get into the range because of wx, air soft is my practice in my basement. Multiple taret, shooting on the move, etc. Usually a couple of times a week, with a few more days a week for dry fire.
I practice \"quick draw\" and then shoot random targets I have set up. It taught me a lot.... like I didn\'t swipe the safety successfully 100% of the time! :O I carry DA with safety OFF now.
It\'s cheap and safe. Doesn\'t completely substitute for the real thing but I think it helps sharpen motor skills.
Yep, P99 just like my carry weapon. Fun to practice with. A buddy and me spend some time shooting at each other (stings a bit, make sure you wear eye protection as well) and in our \"bulletman \"suits at my school and practice various drawing and attack drills as well as variations on the 21 foot drill.
How much is an airsoft in 1911 style and what do you shoot out of it?? I know nothing about these guys but it sure does sound interesting.
I guess its also important to ask what shouldn\'t you buy in this type equipment. Thanks all.
Well, I am still considering one of these for backyard practice. I have found them as cheap as $20 and as much as $450. To get the blowback type that actually simulate the action of the slide, the better ones seem to start at about $100. I guess you get what you pay for. Do a Google search on \"1911 airsoft pistol\" and you will find quite a few available. The more I research them, the more unsure I become on which would e considered a good one....
Should I be looking for spring loaded guns like this
Mine was about $120.00. 1911 semi auto uses green gas, and 6MM plastic ammo. Will raise a rather hefty welt if you shoot self or someone else. Friend thought he could catch one with his hand. Goes thru a standard cardboard ISPC target. I use cardboard backed with carpet scraps.
One of my favorite uses for an airsoft involves taping an IDPA target to the front of my heavy punching bag. Then, starting from ranges as close as 6-inches, (chest to bag) I\'ll strike, elbow, or knee . . . step back with left palm to forhead (for a guard) as I draw and fire from retention. The paint pellets show up on the IDPA target just fine. Also, a Shoot-N-See target can go into the -0 zone of the IDPA target and will show hits from the plastic BBs.
When you work with a partner, the key is to designate a good guy and a bad guy at the beginning of the drill. Then the rules are that the good guy always wins and the bad guy always loses. The bad guy may take several solid hits to put down or the good guy may have to keep fighting after taking some hits but the good guy still wins. This keeps it from turning into an \"I got you first!\" tussle.
The Teuller drill is an excellent place to start for Airsoft FOF drills. For the first run, the good guy starts at 30-feet with a holtered and concealed airsoft gun. The bad guy has a face mask and an empty 2-liter coke bottle to use as a club. The bad guy starts the drill by charging. The good guy can move, draw and shoot and tries to hit the bad guy before being bludgeoned with the empty, plastic, coke bottle. As he get\'s better, the starting range can decrease from 30-feet to 28, then 26, and so-forth. The bad guy should start at first by being \"stopped\" by the first solid hit and then later requiring multiple hits to go down.
Dont ever buy a spring gun, total waste of money. The only place I will buy any airsoft stuff is at www.redwolfairsoft.com; it comes direct to your door from Hong Kong so youre eliminating the middle man that you would normally pay too much for too little here stateside. For GBB (gas blowback) pistols, I recommend Western Arms over anything else, and for the AEG\'s theyre all pretty much on par with each other, if its compatible with Tokyo Marui or Systema parts then its good to go. My guns were all set to run around 320 fps which was the legal indoor limit at the place I played in Hawaii, although my Western Arms P14-45 Prokiller would shoot in excess of 450 FPS with red gas. 320 fps will break skin through a t shirt, I recommend a good paintball mask and gloves (mechanics gloves work) if youre gonna do any skirmishing with anybody.Quote:

Airsoft guns are great for house clearings when the wife is not around cause she already thinks your are nuts. So you don\'t have to give her any more ammunition. Just pick up those pesky pellets before she gets home.
Also they make great cat shooters.

Swords into Plowshares is the blog of the Peacemaking Program and the Presbyterian Ministry at the United Nations of the Presbyterian Mission Agency of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).
Seeking peace. Striving for justice. Together.
By Esther Lee
I had the privilege of attending the Compassion, Peace and Justice (CPJ) Training (March 21) and the Ecumenical Advocacy Days (EAD) (March 21-24) gathering in Washington D.C.
The CPJ training started at the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, where Presbyterian peacemakers congregated from all over the nation. The day consisted of registration, meet and greets, opening worship and welcoming, a panel discussion, a luncheon discussion with workshops in between, and a final sending service. As I helped lead the workshop "Faith Communities Working Together to Prevent Violence" with Christine Hong, Associate for Theology: Interfaith Relations and ...
From the U.S. State Department:
Mr. President, Madame Chef de Cabinet, Excellency's, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Today we pay tribute to the men, women, and children robbed of their freedom and their lives by slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade. We honor the memory of the millions who died, who were stolen from their families, who suffered from disease and deprivation, and who experienced other untold horrors because of slavery and its barbaric toll. The Transatlantic Slave Trade is a stain on our collective conscience that indelibly marked our own history and left wounds we must still strive to ...
Shellyann Lewis, an intern at the Presbyterian Ministry at the United Nations reflected on two parallel events she attended at the 58th Commission on the Status of Women.
On Thursday I had the opportunity to attend two parallel events and they were truly inspirational. The first event that I attended was held at the U.N. in the ECOSOC chamber. The event was hosted by UNESCO's International organization of la fracophonie (IOF). The discussion was geared toward cultural diplomacy and multilingualism. In fact, the entire discussion was conducted in French which reinforced the overall sentiment of the importance of ...

On Sunday, March 9 my husband Tom, who has accompanied me to New York for the Commission on the Status of Women, and I were privileged to attend the First Chinese Presbyterian Church of New York City for their 11:00am service.

Peng was my partner for the Presbyterian orientation and she issued the invitation. We drove to the church at 61 Henry Street in Chinatown. Since parking is at a premium, Peng ...

Ashley Tisdale Shopping for More Slogan-Based Clothing in Urban Outfitters
"High School Musical" star Ashley Tisdale looks veritably overwhelmed by all of the quirky, cleverly worded t-shirts and accessories at Urban Outfitters in Studio City, CA. Here's her inner monologue. "Hmmm, am I loved by someone in New Jersey? Or do I think blondes do it better?" Sporting an "Over It" trucker cap, maybe she's looking for some pants with "Under It" written on the seat because it's simply not possible to feel "Juicy" all the time. Personally, I'm filled with such self-loathing that I've yet to find any quips emblazoned across a t-shirt that aptly express my mood. If someone can find me a "10 Pounds to Perfect" pair of velour sweatpants or "He Wants to Sleep with Other People" baby-tee, gimme a ring.

How many people RSVP and no show at your wedding???
I am worried about this due to the per person plate charge and I've heard it's quite common. Just want to get an idea on an average I should expect to no show after RSVP...???
I am worried about this due to the per person plate charge and I've heard it's quite common. Just want to get an idea on an average I should expect to no show after RSVP...???
(33) Comments
I need to know this also because fiance has some friends that I know are going to be trouble.
We only had 1 couple and it was because their son had to go to the hospital. We definitely couldn't get upset over that!
we had 2 .... one failed his cbest that day (teacher's test) and didn't feel like coming... and the other replaced his invite w/ his son's girlfriend of the month (the son was there and invited). sheesh.
One reception venue suggested we estimate 10% no-shows, not sure how accurate that is though!
but we also had 2 show up that we didn't expect...
Interestign because one of my friends had 30 no shows!!! I started getting really worried and invited a bunch of B list people lol!!
so what do you do when people show up and you dont have a placecard for them or the $
Just a couple or 2.
We had 3 people no-show. One was a date (that we didn't even invite in the first place), another was a friend (still don't know why she didn't show), and the last was a family friend's wife (i think they couldn't find a sitter). But we had another person show that hadn't RSVPd, so it only ended up being 2 plates paid for but uneaten.
we had 90 rsvps, and 4 no shows. 1 guest's wife couldnt make it at the last minute. another date of a guest suddenly had something come up. and another couple just didnt come and knew they werent coming, but didnt think to say anything.
I only had about 2 couples so 4 people no show
well when someone shows up that you didn't count on they are SOL for a placecard. you just make room for them and the caterer always makes a little extra for exactly that reason. and like you've heard with me and cari-- there are always a couple no-shows so the ones who show up just take their place.
We had 10 ! yes ten and we paid 150 pp. I didnt even want to invite that family. I had put 5 in the RSVP they responded with it crossed off and 10 in its place and they didnt show. Their excuse was they couldnt find the location. Who does not know where Disney is !! The day after the wedding I was so mad.
$150 pp?????? OMG!
OMG!!!! Marii, I would have been sooooooo PIIIIISSSSSED they would have seen steam come of my ears.
Omg Marii I would have been pissed too!!!
Ive been worried about no shows for my wedding too :(
My best friend has 10 no shows at her wedding, my FI cousins had 2 whole table no show (it looked odd seeing two empty tables at the reception) and my DOC said he once did a wedding were 35 people no showed :/
MommyLynda, I've heard of that strategy too from my cousin who's an event planner! The venue always have food in stock so if extra guests show up, they are prepared. Therefore, I've been told to give the venue a 5% less from the final headcount, to hedge against guests not being able to make it at the last minute. If they come, great. If not, then you have at least you didn't have to pay for the no-shows…
I considered doing the 5% less thing but felt paranoid that they would run out because my coordinator at the venue said one person did that to them, took out 10%, then ran out of food...maybe she's just trying to scare me:)

Graybeards And Friends Make Homes Sparkle
More than 50 Graybeards and family members pitched in on May 7 for their annual Spring Spruce Up —- a day devoted to helping a family or organization in need of some elbow grease as well as this and that. This year, the Graybeards went above and beyond their usual effort by taking on two houses in the same day: One in Rockaway Beach and one in Breezy Point. Fortunately, a bunch of folks, not members of the Graybeards pitched in as well and made both homes sparkle. Many local vendors also help by contributing materials and refreshments. With so many Graybeards and family and friends it's really a community-wide effort that is a testament to the wonderful place we call home. Pictured, one of the homes, just waiting for the Graybeards to come.

Victor Hugo was a French writer, known for novels such as The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Les Misérables, one of Michael Eddingtons favorite pieces of literature. Jadzia Dax was not a fan of Hugo's work, finding it melodramatic and possessing "two-dimensional" heroines. (DS9: "For the Uniform")

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Well Halloween is almost upon us, and there have been many characters that have left us scared over the years, but who was the scariest?
Here is my top 3.
1) Linda Blair in The Exorcist. That makeup was truly frightening.
2) Tony Todd in Candyman. He may not look scary, but he made you think twice about looking at a mirror.
3) Sissy Spacek in Carrie. I still get nightmares about her.
1. Freddie Kruger.
2. Linda Blair in The Excorcist.
3. Gary Glitter.
Ooooohhh. Darth Vader!
the child snatcher from chitty chitty bang bang
@mathschick - +1.
Javier Bardem in no country for old men.
woody allen
Robert De Niro in Cape Fear.
Michael Myers was always creepy. The way he would just stand there and stare... and the way he always seemed to be able to catch people who were running just by slowly and deliberately walked towards them...
Leather Face. Not Carol McGiffin, I mean the bloke off of Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
The clown from IT..might be called Pennywise...bloody hate clowns because of that
Mary Poppins
John Jarratt's character in Wolf Creek.
John Jarratt, an incredibly brilliant actor, played the deranged serial killer in Wolf Creek. His character was seriously scary & John was seriously amazing in his role!
Captain Dargent Peytraud in the film, 'The Serpent and the Rainbow'......"No sleep for you my friend" definitely worth a watch and, supposedly, based on a true story.

Carpenter ants are the largest species of pest ants found in Georgia.
They get the name from their habit of chewing wood to create nesting sites. Carpenter ants do not eat wood; they simply excavate cavities in trees and wood products for nesting areas. These ants can be a nuisance in and around the home because of their large size and their abundant numbers.
'Tis the season for insect infestations. Experts advise that inspecting plants regularly and treating the problem early on can prevent insects from spreading and help save the plant.
A reader recently noticed what appeared to be white fuzz on the underside of her coleus leaves. Upon closer inspection, the fuzz was actually determined to be insects.
"Coleus are highly resistant to serious disease or insect problems when grown outdoors," said Columbia County Extension Agent Tripp Williams.

The business behind the burger
If you haven't made it up to North Prospect Avenue in Champaign lately, there's a new burger joint.
It's called Five Guys, and it's the hottest "better burger" franchise in the market. Business is booming nationally for Five Guys, and the new one in Champaign is going great guns.
Many people will say, "Do we really need another burger joint?" The market's answer is an emphatic yes, and it's a pretty interesting story how Five Guys grew from a single store to the monolith it is today. It's the hottest restaurant franchise in the country. Jimmy John's is No. 2.

I hold out the forlorn hope that the 2012 Marathon will be rescheduled and I'll get to have my day in the sun (or rain or sleet or snow or whatever). In the meantime, I'm recovering slowly from a marathon that I didn't get to run.
Read Whole Story
This question originally appeared on Quora.
By Martin Bodek, Marathoner
This was my argument:
My inbox, cell phone, and land line have absolutely ...
Every year the marathon is a celebration of the human spirit. Unlike other controversies he's been able to spin into praise, perhaps Bloomberg realized this time that he would have to rename the NYC Marathon the NYC Triathlon.
Do we really need a runner's marathon when people in Staten Island are still trapped in their homes, unable to cook or wash themselves, or even find a gas station to fill up their car so they can get out of the Infereno in which they find themselves?
Unfortunately, one of the things that makes this year's marathon special is Hurricane Sandy. We in NYC are reeling from the storm. But the marathon has always been a statement about determination, commitment, overcoming adversity and the sheer joy of living.

Campus Update October 2012
It is a pleasure to provide an update as we are starting our 2012-2013 academic year. We began this year with the good news that we were again ranked among the Best Colleges in the West by US News and World Report. We were ranked #10 for best regional colleges in the west. We were also one of the 19 California schools featured in the 2012-2013 Colleges of Distinction.
The big news on campus this fall is our strong enrollment and campus improvements. Our total enrollment this fall is 2,213 with 1,464 traditional undergraduate students, 481 adult degree completion students, and 268 graduate students. This represents a 4.63% increase from last year and a 21.06% increase from fall 2009. The level of enrollment growth over the past four years is remarkable. These past years we have often cited the African proverb – when you pray, move your feet. The Vanguard community has done both, and we are grateful for the students that God has brought to Vanguard University.
Over the summer we continued the remodel of the Huntington Hall dormitory and completed the 3rd and 4th floors. We have also been remodeling a significant portion of the O. Cope Budge Library building. We have improved this facility with additional safety, improved air quality, student group study rooms, a university archive office, as well as a new green room and costume storage area for the adjacent Lyceum Theater.
There were several additional projects completed over the summer. In June we dedicated our new Veterans Courtyard of Honor, a complete renovation of the Scott courtyard. This is now a beautiful space with a fountain memorial wall. When not used for official gatherings, it is a great space with tables and umbrellas where members of the community can gather. The Price Room off of the cafeteria was renovated, creating a nice meeting space for the Board and other events on campus. There was also a lot of painting this summer from Needham Chapel, the cafeteria, trim of three dorms and Gym. The bookstore got a new floor along with a refinish of the Gym floor.
Newport Mesa Church has taken on a major renovation project for their sanctuary, which means that we are holding chapel in a large meeting tent for the first part of the semester. These are Vanguard's tent meeting days.
We launched our new academic year with a series of student leader retreats and a faculty gathering that included a spiritual retreat day at the Mission at San Juan Capistrano. We introduced our new Dean of Spiritual Formation and University Pastor, Dr. Michael Beals. We also welcomed our AG Missionary in Residence for this year, Steve Slater. In mid-September, a record number of 640 students went out in the community for a day of service as part of Vanguard's City Serve. Teams of students served in a wide variety of areas from the Dream Center to Teen Challenge to homeless shelters to skate parks to local beaches.
We have had growth in a number of majors with our top five being Business, Psychology, Communication, Kinesiology, Liberal Studies, and Religion.
If you have never attended an athletics game or theater show, I encourage you to join the Vanguard community at a game or upcoming theater performance. For more information on athletics and to see a list of all the fall sports schedules, please visit www.vanguardlions.com
To see the schedule of this year's theater productions, please visit vanguard.edu/theatre
I would also like to be the first to personally invite you to our annual Christmas Fantasia concert. Your spirit will soar as you watch Vanguard's talented music department sing Christmas carols and get you in the Christmas spirit. Tickets are currently on sale for November 29 at the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall and November 30 at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church. For more information and to purchase tickets, please visit www.vanguard.edu/fantasia.
God Bless you and God Bless Vanguard,
Carol Taylor
