Thanks for helping!
Mmmm not sure about this as whenever I have been to la dolce vita it's been very good food great staff very helpful I would recommend and go back no problem
Good Italian food and recommended when needing to have a "non"-Thai-Food option (especially when traveling with kids). Quite high priced so, but kind of worth it.
Went in here as our first choice was closed, bad mistake. We were shown to our table and left alone for ages. We finally ordered food and waited. The plates that were put down were dirty and still no food arrived. Got the plates changed but no apology off the waitress. After waiting for ages we decided to get up...
Good value but slow service we had two pizzas and were quite large and were just ok we needed a bite to eat and this place was the only place that was busy.
Was ok don't go if you're in a rush.
large menu at a reasonable price, make sure you have plenty of time as the service is slow but well worth the wait. try the minestrone soup as it's quite exceptional
Great seafood pasta, excellent pizzas. The management and staff are friendly and always come to talk with you. Excellent!
Great Service, good location, you could miss it though if you dont look! We walked past this a few times before we saw it, then had to go in. The pasta and sauce was delicious!! Highly recommended!
More parmesan cheese next time please :D
Thank you for an excellent meal .
We liked Dolce Vita. Near by Chaweng Buri Hotel. Resonable prices, good meal and vine. Recommend for all.
This is a great restaurant in Chewang area with very good service and simple food done well all at a great price! we have returned already on this trip and will return again before going home! No real problems at all and would recommend it to others. We just can't believe it's only rated 33 out of restaurants in Chewang...
ate a pizza here a few days ago... and I liked it so much I decided to come back again for lunch today. Had another great pizza... wood fired oven very traditional Italian taste. Loved it. I also ordered a tenderloin steak and it was cooked perfectly and tasted outstanding. The food here is awesome. I highly recommend it.

Obama uses WH press corps as threat against Chrysler investors; Update: Tapper reports, WH denies
posted at 11:15 am on May 2, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
An attorney representing several Chrysler bondholders accused the Obama administration of intimidating his clients by issuing threats of public humiliation if they opposed their brokered deal to resolve the automaker's debts. Speaking to WJR, Thomas Lauria said that the White House called the bondholders "vultures" for insisting on their rights as senior creditors and told them that the Obama administration would use the White House press corps to attack them in the media. Corky Boyd has the transcript (also via HA reader Geoff A):
Lauria: Let me tell you it's no fun standing on this side of the fence opposing the President of the United States. In fact, let me just say, people have asked me who I represent. That's a moving target. I can tell you for sure that I represent one less investor today than I represented yesterday. One of my clients was directly threatened by the White House and in essence compelled to withdraw its opposition to the deal under the threat that the full force of the White House Press Corps would destroy its reputation if it continued to fight. That's how hard it is to stand on this side of the fence.
Beckman: Was that Perella Weinberg?
Lauria: That was Perella Weinberg.
Glenn Reynolds wonders how the White House press corps will feel about being used as an arm of the administration to beat its opposition into submission. My guess? Enchanted, with just a couple of exceptions. He also wonders whether they will show the slightest inclination to ask about these allegations. So far, it looks like the Sounds of Silence on the WHPC dial rather than We're Not Gonna Take It.
Bear in mind that this is one attorney operating in his client's interest, and attorneys do like to make media waves by fighting cases on the evening news and the front page before they fight them in court. However, the WHPC should be asking whether they're getting played by the Obama administration — and consider the strong possibility that they've allowed themselves to be put in that position.
Update: Jake Tapper reports the allegations and wants an answer from the White House:
A leading bankruptcy attorney representing hedge funds and money managers told ABC News Saturday that Steve Rattner, the leader of the Obama administration's Auto Industry Task Force, threatened one of the firms, an investment bank, that if it continued to oppose the administration's Chrysler bankruptcy plan, the White House would use the White House press corps to destroy its reputation.
Thomas Lauria, Global Practice Head of the Financial Restructuring and Insolvency Group at White & Case, told ABC News that Rattner suggested to an official of the boutique investment bank Perella Weinberg Partners that officials of the Obama White House would embarrass the firm for opposing the Obama administration plan, which President Obama announced Thursday, and which requires creditors to accept roughly 29 cents on the dollar for an estimated $6.8 billion owed by Chrysler.
Lauria first told the story, without naming Rattner, to Frank Beckmann on Detroit's WJR-AM radio.
The White House now denies the allegations, claiming that there's no evidence of it (via Geoff A):
The White House said the story was false.
"The charge is completely untrue," said White House deputy press secretary Bill Burton, "and there's obviously no evidence to suggest that this happened in any way."
No evidence? What about Lauria's personal testimony?
Meanwhile, Tommy Christopher — who actually reports from the White House — dismisses the charge:
As far as the "threat" Lauria alleges, it sounds an awful lot like someone told his client that public opinion would not likely be favorable to people who would obstruct a fair deal to save Chrysler. That's not a threat, it is a reality. It's no more a "threat" than John McCain's campaign promise to make earmarkers "famous."
Apples and oranges. McCain threatened to make public officials "famous" for wasting taxpayer money. The Obama administration allegedly threatened to use the WHPC to destroy the reputations of private citizens as a punishment for not relinquishing their contractual rights for having helped float Chrysler. There's a huge difference between the two.

LBCI, Lebanon's premier news source, is reporting that Rabih A., 39, who hails from the Akkar district of northern Lebanon, got his penis cut off by his bride's family for secretly eloping with her.
Naharnet, a Lebanese news site, elaborates:
The agency said the incident happened after Rabih eloped with a woman identified as Rudeina M., who hails from the town of Baisour [Lebanon].
"When the relatives of the girl learned of the issue, they investigated the circumstances and found out that Rabih and Rudeina were at a chalet in Tabarja, so they went there and brought them to Baisour, where they severed the man's penis and left him at the town's square," NNA [state-run National News Agency] said.
Looks like they do annulments a little differently in Lebanon.

So you're a music artist, what's that like?
Writing songs and playing music is something I've been doing all my life and what I love to do. Performing for my fans and meeting them on the road has been so much fun. However, like any job it has its ups and downs. The music business is very challenging, and with all the traveling, its definitely a different lifestyle from most the friends I grew up with.
Where can we find your music?
My music is on iTunes and Amazon, but I'm also very active on twitter (@mikeywax) and Facebook (facebook.com/mikeywax).
Has your career made it easier or harder to date?
I definitely get to meet a lot of different women on the road, but it's probably harder in terms of dating. I had a really serious girlfriend a few years ago, but I knew right then how difficult it would be to keep a balance when all my focus was towards starting my music career. I tend to save all my "dating" now for when I'm off tour and have a few months back home in nyc. I think a part of me is hoping for that free-spirited girl who will join me on the road though…kind of like Kate Hudson in Almost Famous.
What's your best dating story?
Oh man….Here's a good one. I was on a date with a girl for the first time. We're a few drinks in, still feeling the situation out, when some random guy walks over with a blue-ish stone. He said it was a lucky stone, and that it has brought his life incredible sex. This is a Monday night in NYC keep in mind…so we're staring at him like he's crazy. He parted by saying he "saw" something in the girl and I, and put the stone in her hand. All I'm gonna say is 5 minutes after he walked away we were making out…
What advice do you have for women looking to land their dream guy?
I think in any situation, it's about being comfortable in your own skin, knowing who you are and what makes you happy. I don't know if I have that figured out yet, but I'm learning slowly and surely. Very slowly.
Tell us about your experience with 'DirtyThirty' women.
I'm 26, but have dated a few women in their thirties. All the experiences have been great so far….Dirty thirty women are beautiful and there is a whole lot less bs involved. A little bs is good though, cause I need something to write songs about.
What remains the biggest mystery to you about women?
It might be hard to pinpoint just one. A woman's memory and attention to detail is something I continue to be fascinated by. I think it serves mainly just to put men in their place. Also a woman's emotions are just an incredible mystery to me. The balance of sensitivity with unmatched outbursts of anger and passion…it's a beautiful mystery.
What are your turn offs/pet peeves?
A turn off for me is someone overly opinionated. I'm not talking about a girl who will people-watch with me and make up ridiculous stories about someone else just as they walk by. I'm talking about the girl who constantly talks negatively about others, especially her "friends".
What attracts you to a woman?
I'm a face-first kind of guy. A pretty face and a great smile can steal me right away. That being said, I also like my women how I like my guitars. So you will have to interpret that your own way through a picture of me with my guitar.
When can we see you in concert?
I'm touring consistently, and have 4 east-coast shows coming up in October. My career also got started by performing private house concerts all around the country for groups of 25 friends or more, and I'm always open to set something up….especially for some beautiful dirty thirty women. you can sign up for a house concert at my website (http://mikeywax.com)
Anything else? Parting words?
It's all in the lyrics. I'm sure I'm not that hard to figure out… 🙂
Here is the official music video:

The most gooey chocolate zucchini brownies ever! You'd never guess these are healthy and made with whole grains, zucchini and that applesauce takes the place of oil!
Some other bloggers and I are posting healthier dishes today and taking a minute to help spread awareness on childhood obesity. Now brownies don't exactly help with the issue but if you're going to have dessert, why not make it healthier if you really can't taste a difference? :)
These chocolate zucchini brownies have no added fat (except what's in the chocolate chips) and are full of zucchini and whole grains (but really do not taste like it!) so you can feel good about giving these to your children.
Really, unless your kids watch you make these, there's no way that they'll be able to tell that these chocolate brownies have zucchini in them. Or that they're whole wheat or whole spelt.
Use a 9″ x 5″ loaf pan and bake for only 14 minutes. I highly recommend not decreasing the amount of chocolate chips in the batter. You can definitely skip the ones on top but these zucchini brownies rely on the sweetness and flavor from the chocolate chips!
Be sure to use Dutch-process cocoa powder in these. If you use the regular natural kind (like Hershey's) these zucchini brownies will likely come out cakey instead of nice and fudgy like you see!
I'm not one to be afraid of a little coconut oil, olive oil or any of the "healthier" fats, but these do add calories to the final product. Calories which help contribute to weight gain.
The obesity rate in elementary school children (ages 6-11) has quadrupled over the past four decades and a third of children and adolescents are overweight or obese. And these kids are more likely to be obese as adults.
That's why it's important to instill healthy eating habits in our kids from the very beginning. Why set them up for failure?
So what healthy change are you going to make this school year? I don't have kids yet but I'm going to do my best to keep bringing you healthier recipes! Less sugar, no processed junk, and whole grain or gluten / grain-free.

Zucchini Chocolate Brownies (100% whole grain, dairy-free)
- Prep Time:
- Cook Time:
- Ready in:
- Yield: 16 brownies
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup coconut sugar or unrefined sugar or granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup (125 grams) whole wheat flour or whole spelt flour or all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (45 grams) Dutch-process cocoa powder (using regular cocoa powder may result in cakey brownies)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups (about 300 – 320 grams) peeled and grated zucchini
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips + 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips to sprinkle on top (for dairy-free, use Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips)
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (176 degrees C) and line an 8"x8" pan with parchment paper or spray with baking spray.
- In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, vanilla, coconut sugar, and apple sauce and let this sit for 5 minutes to let the coconut sugar dissolve.
- In a separate medium bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder (sifted if lumpy!), baking soda and salt. Make sure there are no clumps before going on to the next step.
- Add the dry mix to the wet, gently stir until combined. Be sure not to over mix!
- Then fold in the zucchini and 1 cup chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the pan and even the surface with a spatula.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for 30 - 35 minutes (14 minutes for the half batch) or until a toothpick inserted in the middle doesn't come out gooey. It might still be sticky - just not have raw batter on it.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature or up to one week in the refrigerator. I recommend storing them in the refrigerator right from the beginning due to their high moisture content.

December Meeting
"Holiday Lunch and Silent Auction - The Fiscal Cliffhanger: How Our Obsession with Deficits, Debt and Balancing the Budget is Destroying the American Dream "You May EARN 1.5 CEU CREDITS FOR ATTENDING
May qualify for 1.5 CFP Credit(s). FPALA follows the CE guidelines specified in the California Board of Accountancy Regulations.
Terms like Deficits, the U.S. Debt, Government Borrowing and Spending have each had embedded a certain meaning in the American economic psyche and vernacular. The connotation that each term evokes creates heated conversations around what approaches or actions should be taken to address our problems effectively, and these conversations are simply not constructive. They simply arise from incorrect premises.
According to Modern Money Theory (MMT), a correct understanding of what money is, where it comes from and who controls it sheds a whole new approach to addressing issues facing this country and the global economy as a whole.
With this somewhat cryptic introduction, come to our FPALA Holiday Luncheon and Silent Auction event in December and prepare for a paradigm shift on how you currently understand our economy and our monetary system!

Muscat: no wage rises for MPs or ministers
Commission would be set up to scrutinise pay packets
There will be no increases in the pay packets of ministers and MPs in the next legislature, Joseph Muscat pledged yesterday.
The Labour leader said an independent commission would be set up to analyse the pay packets of MPs and ministers but insisted there would be no rises if people chose a Labour government.
"I have made this clear to all our candidates. I told them they were not in this for the money but to offer a service," he said.
Dr Muscat was being interviewed under a tent in Mqabba by TV presenter Miriam Dalli.
He said the Nationalist Party was panicking and had no proposals yet. He was reacting to Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi's comment to The Times in Berlin that his Government intended to reduce bills (see front page).
"First they told us it is impossible to lower utility bills, then they told us our proposal is a gimmick and now they are saying they will do the same," he said.
Dr Muscat said that people had every right not to trust him if he awarded MPs and ministers an increase behind their backs.
He said that after three days of electioneering the PN could only come up with a manifesto that had no concrete proposals. This week, the PN launched its manifesto with guidelines on which the electoral programme with detailed proposals will be drawn up.
When he arrived in Mqabba's main square, Dr Muscat was given a rousing welcome but he tempered their jubilation and asked them to continue working until the last minute.
"May I remind you that the Labour Party is the underdog in this election and we have to continue working until the very end to persuade people to vote for us," he said.
Dr Muscat said he did not aspire to lead half a country if elected Prime Minister and wanted the morrow of the election to be a normal day.
"Freedom Day is as much a Labour feast as a Nationalist one. Independence is my national day as any Nationalist's," he said, reiterating the message he delivered at the start of the campaign on Monday.
"I hope we arrive at a stage in my generation where a Labourite can celebrate Independence just like any Nationalist and a Nationalist will celebrate Republic Day like any Labourite would," he said, adding that politicians had a duty to lead by example.

text: Problem with the Ford GT/40 is that it does not handle well. Personally if money was no object, then I would get a F40. I think you may be mistaken of what the Ford GT is capable of. While it cannot out handle the F430 or special edition 997 turbos, ie . GT2 or Gt3 (even though most others cars couldn't)...by most professionals, it did out handle and out perform the F360, as well as the 996 turbo and Gallardo (it even kept pace with the Murcielago).

comics The 20 Richest Comic Book Characters of All Time f p @
Here's a list of the richest superheroes, comic book characters and wealthiest villains of all time, ranked from richest to not-so-richest, and whose favorite color is green. Comic book characters list many various ways to make money, but they're keeping those kinds of secrets to themselves. Who are the richest comic book characters? These are the wealthiest heroes and villains in comic bookdom with a few ground rules. First off, we've only included the mainstream universes of the "Big 2" (Marvel Comics and DC Comics) with one big glaring exception that just HAD to be on the list, because if we would've included anything independent, it would have opened it up to pretty much the entire medium.
This isn't the place to find Marvel Comics' net worth or even Tony Stark net worth, because there's not a calculator close by that will compute those kinds of numbers. Funny comic book characters even the smartest superheroes out there may not quite make them one of the richest superheroes, though we do have a few super smart comic book characters here, like Lex Luthor.
The richest fictional character may be right here on this list of comic book characters, though, we're not sure how much Lucy made at that psychiatry booth (she has no paper trail). All comic book characters have the potential, but only the top 20 Marvel villains and superheroes here (and DC) made it here. This list of comic book heroes and villains that are filthy rich will make you jealous you don't have a slice.
Also, we didn't assign any dollar value, as we believe estimates based on our own world make absolutely zero sense.
Be sure to check out Ranker's other lists like, the wealthiest women in America, richest black people and the Justice League characters list.
Black Panther
Being the first black superhero in mainstream American comic books, Black Panther tops this list as the most realistically rich superhero (or supervillain) in either DC or Marvel.
Why is this? Well, for one, he runs the entire country of Wakanada (a fictional African country in the Marvel universe), which just happens to be the world's only deposit of the most precious metal: Vibranium.
You know that indestructibl tough metal that Wolverine's bones are incased in? Vibranium is is even stronger than that, and T'Challa (the Black Panther's real identity) owns all of it and often has to protect it.
So, from the perspective of natural resources, supply vs. demand, and how much he has at his disposal, if he just sells a tiny bit of it – T'Challa, The Black Panther, is arguably the richest superhero in comics.
BONUS: He's considered one of the eight smartest people in the entire Marvel Universe.

#12 on The Top Marvel Comics Superheroes
#10 on The Greatest Marvel Avengers Characters of All Time
Namor once saved the day with a ridiculous wad of cash with the explanation that if he wanted to, he could always have money because what he has to work with is oh, you know, all the riches of the sea.
That's right, any time anyone loses a wallet or drops change into the ocean (as well as any pirate treasure that exists in the Marvel universe and the countless riches of the Kingdom of Atlantis)... it's all Namor's. The reigning Prince of Atlantis, Namor is one of the biggest jerks in the Marvel universe, even though his heart is usually in the right place.
Namor has other-worldly value to his riches, which puts him above anyone who runs a country (except for T'Challa, because c'mon, what if one guy owned all the platinum in the world?), and anyone who runs a huge corporation.
BONUS: Breaking a chunk off of a building in his place could go for millions at a huge museum, so that's another huge source of income.
Guess he does have a reason to be so snobby.

Adrian Veidt (Ozymandias)
Adrien Veidt, otherwise known as Ozymandias, otherwise known as (WATCHMEN SPOILER ALERT) the bad guy from Watchmen, is one of the richest superheroes in history. He has Bruce Wayne-style power and fortune, but takes it one step further than Bruce Wayne. His questionable morales give him the financial edge on Bruce Wayne, as Wayne runs an honest business. Veidt kills people and sells toys of himself.
On top of it all, he is also the smartest man on Earth.
Veidt is a superhero/supervillain (depending on your take on Watchmen) that doesn't pull punches (often) and does what he wants to get what he wants. Money isn't really a problem for him, as he owns a freaking crazy, genetically-engineered wildcat named Bustastis, and a "tower" (a sure sign... as you will see... of a rich superhero).
Because of all this, he's #3 on this list.
Owner of Wayne Enterprises, billionaire Bruce Wayne is the richest self-made superhero on this list. Sure, Strange earned his powers, but someone had to give them to him. Bruce Wayne took billions of dollars as an orphan and turned himself into one of the most powerful superheroes in comic books.
Being able to keep up with the titans in the Justice League like Superman and Wonder Woman (and often having to save them all, always being one step ahead of almost everyone in the DC universe), Batman is easily among the smartest characters in comic books.
With this intelligence, he runs Wayne Enterprises, a multi-billion dollar international company, and somehow still has enough time to be Batman (see: Lucius Fox) and get all those crazy gadgets he needs not only made, but ordered privately and in quantities that allow him to always have everything he needs under his belt... well, ON his belt.

Owner of LexCorp, Lex Luthor is one of the most ruthless and morally-despicable characters in the DC universe. Needless to say, he's rich as hell.
LexCorp is one of the most successful multi-national corporations in the DC universe – which says a lot, considering the insane stuff that every single one of these characters buys with their money. Giant robots, endless research, mountains of cover-up money, enough money to fund his own campaign for the presidency of the United States, and most of all, enough money to really do little else but try and kill Superman all the time – LexCorp brings in billions for Luthor.
So, imagine Bill Gates did nothing but try and kill some unkillable guy all the time.
That's Lex Luthor.

Everyone always attributes Magneto's breadth of resources to the Nazi gold that he stole from Hydra, but there's something that people tend to forget...
He is the master of ALL METAL – including precious metals (see item #1).
So theoretically, he could call all precious metals to his every whim, making him one of the richest characters in all of comic bookdom. Since this isn't a "potentially rich" list, he falls at #6 on this list because literal tons of gold have got to put you a little bit above good ol' Tony Stark.

Iron Man
The Bruce Wayne of the Marvel Universe, Tony Stark, owner of Stark Industries, is one of the richest men in the 616 Marvel U. Imagine if Halliburton was owned by one guy, times a hundred... and imagine that everyone LIKED the company and that guy. The developer of some of the most impossible technologies on Earth, Tony Stark was born to the founder of Stark Industries, Howard Stark.
Stark went to MIT at the age of 15 and then, after his parents' death, inherited Stark Industries. Since then, he acquired (and spent) enough money to even fund superteam The Avengers, as well as the construction of Stark Tower.
He's at #7 on this list because unlike Doom, he is not the head of a country, but the head of one of the most powerful corporations on Earth. He loses control of his corporation at least once during his extensive history and goes as far as losing two years worth of his memories. Although he still has his corporation, being an enemy of the state never helped anyone.
The status quo will be restored soon, but currently, Tony Stark is not the picture of wealth that he once was.

Victor Von Doom is one of the most intelligent characters in the Marvel universe. Arch nemesis of the Fantastic Four, intellectual rival to Reed Richards, and ruler of the small Eastern-European nation of Latveria, Doom has a great fortune to his name (read: GDP of Latveria) that he uses, as supervillains do, to try and kill some cool, fun-loving, innocent heroes.
While, financially, he runs the equivalent of a country like Serbia, he has his own freaking country. This means he has his own army and all of his people's resources to do what he wishes. He's dealt with various galactic leaders and continues to be one of the most esteemed and feared supervillains in all of Marvel comics.
The only reason Luthor beats him out is the sheer amount of wealth Luthor has built up for himself. It's a fine line, but the ruler of a small country, if he's a supervillain, is the equivalent of Luthor taking over the state of Delaware and having them all do his bidding. Only Luthor's a little more powerful than that.

NZXT Source 530 Full Tower Case Review
The Source 530 full tower case is NZXT's new iteration of its Source series. Carrying the mantra of "Keeping It Simple", the series combines the cooling potential and features that gamers typically expect while maintaining a low price point. It is the first full-tower case in the Source line, though the California-based company certainly isn't new to the market – its ever-popular Phantom and H series of full-tower and ultra-tower enclosures have grown to become common amongst gamers and enthusiasts due to an abundance of cooling and expansion potential at reasonable prices. The Source 530 is basically the best parts of those lineups, featuring support for up to 9 fans, a top-mounted 360mm radiator, modular hard drive cages, a 10-port fan hub, and E-ATX motherboards, all complemented by a large side panel window. It all comes together into a package retailing at an MSRP of $89.99 – a price point difficult to match even for most mid-tower cases… at Neoseeker

Doc laughs off trades on 'PTI'
|06.11.09 at 11:14 pm ET
On Thursday Celtics head coach Doc Rivers dropped in on ESPN's 'Pardon the Interruption' to talk NBA Finals, Kevin Garnett, and the possibility of trades looking ahead to next season.
PTI: You were in the same situation last year that the Lakers are now. Up 2-1 and you won Game 4 and won the series, so how important is this game to the Lakers?
Rivers: Well it's important to the Lakers. I think it's more important to the Magic, obviously. You know the Lakers are looking at this, they would clearly like to win the next two games, but they're thinking if they win one, they go back home with six and seven to win one, so for them that's the way they're thinking. Obviously for Orlando, they just have to try to hold serve at home. I've always thought, and I still believe, it's a disadvantage they have three games in a row at home because when teams are evenly matched, it's tough to win three games in a row anywhere. And so I do think it's tougher on Orlando in that way.
PTI: Alright Doc, when all is said and done who do you think is going to win this series and the NBA Championship?
Rivers: You know, I hope neither one wins. I would just like to table it for next year. (Smiles) But now that I know that that can't happen, I think being in the East, you're always cheering for the East Coast teams. You don't want the West to win anything. Having said that, I think the Lakers are the favorite. I just think they're just so talented and they've been there before, so you've got to make them the favorite in this series.
PTI: Now let me ask you the hypothetical question that maybe you just alluded to with the beginning of that answer. If Kevin Garnett had not gotten injured, did you like your chances to repeat this year?
Rivers: Yeah I did, but he was and that's part of the game and so I accept that. There's times when you watch and you wish you could have had the opportunity to compete with a healthy basketball team. But guys, as you know in sports, injuries are absolutely part of the season and it happens and unfortunately it happens for us. And so to me the two best teams right now are Orlando and the Lakers and they deserve to be there. Next year we hope that's a different story.
PTI: Doc, Kevin Garnett just had successful surgery and I know you're hoping he's going to be back for at least 75 or more games next year. But how did you feel about this guarantee that he was going to be able to lead the Celtics to another title. Is that a check you guys can cash?
Rivers: I love it. (Laughs) I love it. I hope he's right. I hope it's not a Patrick Ewing guarantee ' I lived through those. No, I love it. I love when players are confident. I think Kevin believes that, he wants that to happen, and so do we. And to me it's good. I like when players start guaranteeing things. I like it more when they back it up and I'm hoping Kevin can do that.
PTI: I'm just thinking about two summers ago when you guys had the blockbuster move that kept talk radio and our show going for weeks. Are you and Danny (Ainge) plotting anything like that this summer? Do you see your personnel needing to be shuffled in that way?
Rivers: No I don't, but we've got a huge trade we're going to announce. I'm just joking. There's no trade coming. (Laughs) No, no we're good. I like who we are. I think we do have to add some length to our basketball team as well, especially with Leon Powe maybe not coming back for at least til midseason or later. We've got to add one more big to our team. Other than that, I love our basketball team, I love our guys, and I think we'll be in great shape next year.

Sunday, 4 July 2010
observer ONLINE
By the Business desk
The private sector said the 2010 Budget has focused on infrastructure
development which is highly beneficial to attract foreign investment and
accelerate economic growth.
Director, Financial Services Academy, Securities and Exchange
Commission of Sri Lanka and Senior Lecturer, University of Sri
Jayawardenepura, Dr. Dissa Bandara said the 2010 Budget is focused on
developing infrastructure, which is an essential component in driving
economic growth.
"Good infrastructure helps attract local and foreign investments
which is needed to achieve the economic targets envisaged in the
Budget", he said.
Chairman, Shipping, Ports and Aviation Committee of the National
Chamber of Commerce, Sujeeva Samaraweera said infrastructure development
has been emphasised in the 2010 Budget which is vital to develop
aviation, shipping and logistics in the country.
"The program to develop the road network, ports and aviation and
railway should be expedited and funds for the projects should be
effectively used", he said.
CEO/Secretary General, Chamber of Construction Industry, Dakshitha
Thalagodapitiya said the thrust of the 2010 Budget is on construction
and reconstruction activities.The completion of the Colombo-Katunayake
Highway, Outer Circles and the Southern Expressway will help improve
connectivity for effective transportation.
"Steps taken to do away with the operation of multiple taxes, promote
a simple and broadbased low tax regime and encourage more companies to
list in the Colombo Stock Exchange should be commended", Thalagodapitiya
Chartered Accountant and Partner, Gajma and Company, N.R. Gajendran
said the eight percent economic growth rate to be achieved is good, but
there should be measures to curb government expenditure.
"More revenue generating sources should be sought to bridge the
budget deficit which is expected to be around eight percent of the GDP",
he said. Secretary General, Joint Apparel Association Forum, Rohan
Masakorala said the government has addressed a fundamental issue of the
economy by proposing to curb the budget deficit by eight percent of the
Director General/CEO, Employers Federation of Sri Lanka, Ravi Peiris
said the Federation is happy that the Government has not intervened in
the revision of private sector wages which is dependant on the capacity
of the employer and the market forces.
"The private sector has a different wage mechanism and the Federation
is in the process of revising the minimum wages in industries", he said.
President, National Chamber of Exporters (NCE) Sarath De Silva said
that it is an investment and industry friendly budget. It is different
compared to the conventional budgets presented in Parliament earlier.
This is the first step to reach the export goal of US$ 20 bln export
revenue, said de Silva. He said that NCE wanted a larger fertilizer
subsidy and he firmly believes that the subsidy given is not restricted
to paddy alone as cultivation of all crops need fertilizer. At present
the food bill of the country is big and these measures will reduce it
The country can't afford a, wage increase at present so he welcomed
the Governments decision not to offer a wage increase.
Immediate Past President FCCISL and National Director UNIDO Nawaz
Rajabdeen said that expenditure and revenue targets are clearly laid
down which is welcome. He said that creating employment and regional
development are the solutions to increase the income of the people. The
government should support and finance entrepreneurs and start
private/public partnerships. Micro and small industries should commence
in the North and the East to generate employment.
Nothing substantial is manufactured at present. For example for
electrification of the North and the East, all items can be manufactured
in the region.

On this date in 1901, Linus Pauling (né Linus Carl Pauling) was born in Portland, Ore. A popular figure, peace activist, humanitarian as well as scientist, Pauling is the only person to receive two unshared Nobel Prizes: Chemistry (1954) and Peace (1962). He earned a degree in chemical engineering in 1922, and received his Ph.D from Caltec in 1925 in chemistry, with minors in physics and math. Pauling joined the Caltech faculty in 1927. His interest lay in the field of molecular structure and the nature of the chemical bond. He is considered the founding father of molecular biology. But his research was interdisciplinary, including human physiology and health (he is famed for recommending oral doses of Vitamin C). "The only sane policy for the world is that of abolishing war," Pauling said in accepting the Nobel Prize for Peace for 1962. The award recognized his 6-year campaign to persuade the United States, Great Britain and the USSR to sign an antitesting treaty. Minimizing suffering was the key to ethics, he believed. He was named Humanist of the Year by the American Humanist Association in 1961. The unorthodox and outspoken scientist was a Unitarian for many years. D. 1994.
Linus Pauling
"It is sometimes said that science has nothing to do with morality. This is wrong. Science is the search for truth, the effort to understand the world; it involves the rejection of bias, of dogma, of revelation, but not the rejection of morality."
—Linus Pauling, Scientist for the Ages (oregonstate.edu)

Tempers flared throughout 2010 over the State Board of Education's proposed changes to the Texas public school curriculum. The standards, known as Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), are reviewed, amended and adopted about every 10 years and guide what material is included in Texas textbooks for about 4.7 million public school students.
In 2010, the changes put forward by the board's socially conservative members were criticized by educators and minority groups for being largely ideological and distorting history. Teachers also have said the document is too long and will force students to memorize lists of names rather than thinking critically. Proponents argue they are correcting a long-standing liberal bias in education. Member and former chair Don McLeroy sees his job, along with that of other conservatives on the board, as bringing it back into balance.
The changes that elicited the most concern included diminishing the role of Thomas Jefferson — principal author of the Declaration of Independence — and dropping references to a landmark court case that barred schools from segregating Mexican-American students. Proposed changes also included referring to the slave trade as the "Atlantic triangular trade." Other proposals would tone down criticisms of the Red Scare and U.S. Sen. Joseph McCarthy's anti-communist hearings of the 1950s. They would also portray the U.N. General Assembly, funding for global humanitarian relief and global environmental initiatives as threats to individual freedom.
The new curriculum would emphasize the role of religion in America's founding, challenge the doctrine of separation of church and state and heavily promote the superiority of the capitalist system. The board insists, though, that capitalism will only be referred to as "free enterprise system," largely because conservative board members perceived negative connotations had been attached to the word capitalism, largely by liberals in academia, as in "capitalist pig," as one board member put it.
Texas is the second-largest consumer of textbooks in the country, after California. Opponents of the changes have long worried that textbooks sold in other states will be written to comply with the new Texas standards, meaning that the alterations could impact curricula nationwide. But Texas' impact on the market has recently been exaggerated and has been on the wane, due to changes in the politics of individual state standards and the rise of publishing technology and digital classroom materials.

In action the EX88 really delivers the goods. Live TV pictures are bursting with colour and possess plenty of detail, both of which contribute to a very enjoyable viewing experience. The on-board noise reducing technology goes a good job of keeping that pesky blocking effect out of the image, and when upscaled to 1080p the quality is as good as terrestrial digital TV gets.
For recording, there are four modes that allow you to reduce picture quality in order to increase the recording time, and in the top-quality XP mode the recorded picture looks exactly the same as the live broadcast. There's a virtually imperceptible drop in quality from XP to SP, but the available recording time on DVD increases from one hour to two, which is great news for archiving.
LP mode recordings are still watchable, with its 500-line resolution retaining a healthy dose of detail, but there's a clear increase in noise and edges look soft. EP mode recordings look even more hazy, making it unsuitable for tricky material like sport or action movies, but stick to sedate programmes like chat shows and you won't be too disappointed with the results.
Overall, recorded sound quality is impressive. Despite the level of compression used, the stereo Dolby Digital encoder makes the audio output sound clear and energetic though TV speakers, and even better when hooked up to a Pro Logic II amplifier.
The EX88 also makes a fine DVD player, delivering clean and detailed picture quality and keeping artefacts to a minimum. Colour reproduction is powerful but not garish, plus skin tones look natural and movement is remarkably smooth. All of the supported media formats play with no problems and CD tracks ripped to the hard disk sound remarkably crisp.
If you're looking for a recorder that combines the versatility of an HDD/DVD combi with the simplicity of Sky+ then you won't go far wrong with the DMR-EX88. It's packed with features, delivers superb picture quality and although it's more expensive than some of its rivals you can rest assured that you're getting a lot for your money.
Question: Planning on buying Panasonic plasma and HDD/DVD - do I need to keep screen on constant standby in order to record?
Can you please clarify whether the EX88 will record Freesat images obtained from the tuner in a Panasonic TH-46PZ81B at the higher Freesat HD resolution (obviously the programme being recorded will need to be broadcast in HD). The recorder connects to the plasma TV via SCART and Viera link and will record direct from the TV's freesat tuner.
I own a Panasonic DMR-EH50 DVD recorder. On the basis of this, which was fairly good, I purchased a DMR-EX88 recorder. I found out (after the fact) that I cannot save titles (which I regularly record) to a playlist. I have to therefore laboriously type in the name of the program every time I record it. I contacted Panasonic and their answer was "This feature is not available on this model" Why not?
It is an "okay" recorder, but I would think twice before you but it.
Panasonic can issue software updates and have done so for their LCDs... Strange that they cannot issue an update for this device... Seems like someone simply forgot to carry over that bit of code from the previous model to the new models.
I recently bought a Panasonic LCD and Cinema system thinking that Viera link would mean I could work the two devices with one controller! How naive was that of me! It is not much better than my old Sony set up which was user vicious needing separate controllers to work the system. Switch on the TV on one controller and use the other to make any changes on the cinema system / dvd player. Pain in the neck. Wouldn't be awesome if they invested in offering a touch screen universal device for the entire system? Doing that they would certainly get one up on their competitors.
1. The DMR EX88 cannot fast dub/copy a DVD to HDD, one has to watch the video and any fast forward or other actions will not be recorded.
2. It cannot play unfinalised camcorder or other DVD's.
3. It cannot unfinalise a DVD+-R so video cannot be added. Have to format & start again.
4. Auto finalises DVD at end of copy from HDD.
5. Not all digital terrestrial channels picked up..very fussy or what.
Why are none of these cons are mentioned in the review. This recorder is not a patch on my Sony RDR-HXD910 which is easy to use and does all of the above.
The Panasonic does not deserve to be in the sam class as the Sony.
It might make a fine DVD player but only if you want to play Region 2 discs.
I did see another site claiming this was a multi-region player. It isn't.
Poor value for money. This is not a user friendly device.
No mpeg2, mp4, avi files.
{1} As usual, Panasonic formats do not match other popular formats. For example, you will not be able to copy a video file to the USB (from any standard market device: nokia, casio etc) and watch it. If you wanted to do so you would have to file convert into the Viera format... so no mpeg2, AVI, and mp4 files !!!
{2} The menu system is slow and cumbersome (although this appears to be industry standard).
{3} Adverts take up 30% of screen in the channels view.
{4} Viera link works, but with reduced features. If the user requires anything more than play & stop, they will need the second controller which is dissapointing.

You can even rescue a PC that's had an unfortunate accident, effectively turning back the clock and fully restoring the old system.
Secure your stuff with Automatic Backups
Imagine the peace of mind that comes from automatic daily backups. Windows Home Server helps keep your family's important files safe, backing up every computer in your home, every day. Your files and folders are automatically duplicated across multiple hard drives, so even if one fails, you can still recover what's important.

Your family's PCs stay healthy with home network health monitoring. You can see the exact condition of the computers in your home and make sure everyone's software and virus definitions are up-to-date.
Protect your files from prying eyes
Windows Home Server sits behind your firewall and has strong password controls to help secure your home network. You decide who sees what, so you can share what you want and keep the rest private.
Easily share from anywhere
Use your free Internet address to share digital memories and more with anyone you want. All they'll need is Web access, a browser, and a log-in password from you. And don't worry about Mom getting a hold of the wrong pictures; you decide who gets to see what with a simple drag and drop.*
Connect to your home server from virtually anywhere
With Windows Home Server, home is just a click away. You can connect remotely to the computers in your home and access all your files, even run applications, just as if you were sitting in front of your home computer.**
Stream photos, music, and videos
Keep in tune with what your kids are listening to. Now the whole family can enjoy each other's music, from your wife's jazz standbys to your daughter's new favorite pop song. Use your Xbox 360 or other supported digital media receiver to listen to your family's shared music collection, watch a photo slideshow, or catch up on recorded TV shows and movies.
Get to files easily
Stop the spread of digital clutter. When you store all your files together, you can get to them as quickly and easily as if they were on your PC's hard drive. Windows Home Server uses a familiar interface that integrates with all your home computers.
Keep it together

Add more space whenever you need it
Now you don't have to choose between your photo albums and music albums. You'll have all the space you need--simply connect a new hard drive to your Windows Home Server. Of course, all your family's videos, photos, and music are still safely stored together.
Do more with your home server now and in the future

Ok, so here I am again.....tooth bill paid off, and into more trouble. Mom's been more careful with the pea gravel *sigh* but I've been finding plenty other things to eat :oP
Ended up I had 3 teeth pulled, and they cleaned the rest and told mom I have a cracked tooth on the other side....guess I'll be sticking to snatching bagels and muffins for awhile...
They also filed my nails down. I tell ya, those vet people sure take advantage of a guy when he goes to sleep! eeeesh....
The grandson things are doing amazingly well...oh yeah, baby, they are SERIOUS food dispensers, tho the younger one is now asking MOM before he gives me anything?? what's with that?! I NEVER taught him that! someone has been messing with his training!
However, I do have a couple more advocates....sissy #2 and her husband....oh yeah, they are ALWAYS saying "it's just a little bit". Mom threatened to send me home with them so they would have to deal with the ensuing odors after eating the "treats". I sure hope she doesn't ever do that, tho, cuz then I know they would NEVER feed me anything ever again!! I'm sure I would starve....seriously! Mom only feeds me twice a day....oh yeah, and then I get yogurt, too, and sometimes treats for giving up things that I have picked up off the floor that someone decides they treasure enough to not let ME have (what I'd REALLY like to know is....why is it on the FLOOR, then??? or left on the table?? get real....if they REALLY wanted it....well...I won't talk about that, cuz they might read this and then I wouldn't have nearly as much fun retrieving things).
Oh...yeah...last retrieval....younger grandson's diaper. Oh golly, it was tough giving that one up. Which brings up an issue....I think there might be something wrong with me, cuz every time I pick something up...well, I go show mom to get her take on it. I don't know why I keep doing it....terrible habit, but it DOES get me treats, so I suppose I can't complain too much, but still.... I wonder if all retrievers deal with that....
Oh hey...gotta go!! the 2 youngest just got back from the store....and they bought FOOD!!!!
Well hey! What's a dog got to do to get on the computer any more! Guess I can't complain, cuz mom's been keeping me busy enough (though I am SURE she is trying to starve me).
Bad news coming up, though....I have a bump on my cheek. My dogter says that my tooth is cracked and infected. Mom is NOT happy with me. I swear I haven't been at the pea gravel in awhile! I've been cutting back....really!
So, anyways, I have to get a job now, cuz my good looks won't pay for getting all my teeth cleaned and examined and hopefully only the 1 tooth will have to be pulled. I'm not concerned with the pain so much as I want to make sure I've got plenty of teeth left to eat with!
On the good side....I get 2 cheeseballs every day (with my meds in them). More food...YIPPEE!!
Guess I'd better be extra good for awhile, and not get into any trouble....well, at least until the bill is paid off :oP
The grandson things are doing well, and dutifully head to the kitchen upon arrival. The younger one grins at mom just before he gives me some of his food. Oh yeah, baby, this one is trained even better than the first one (who makes me sit before he will throw my toys for me to chase....I am not sure who gave him the idea, but if he gets too many more ideas like this it may ruin his training!). Hmmm....maybe I should talk to big sis about getting another grandson thing......
Gotta cut this short....someone is in the kitchen!!
Well hey!!
Not much to report here. The weather has gone wonky!! Apparently my order for snow was MISDELIVERED to Georgia?? *grrrr* and we got Florida's sunshine ?!?! "Highs" of 52? just something wrong here....
Well, even so, we got enough snow (almost 42") within the first week and a half of the new year to keep me making "snow angels" for now. It's just not fluffy. Hopefully we get more snow soon.....I'm keeping tabs on the forecaster :oP
I think the warm weather made my ear go goopy, too. Mom keeps smelling my ear to make sure it doesn't stink. And she complains about ME not knowing social boundaries!
The grandson things are amazing *happy sigh* The elder one is soooo good at raiding the fridge when he visits, and dropping stuff on the floor, that I am finally feeling like I am nearly well-fed. Just nearly, tho.....mom says that a Lab NEVER feels well-fed. Not sure how I gave her that idea.......could it be the trash can raids?
The younger one??? well.....he seems to have a real thing for me! I'm trying to encourage him toward the refrigerator, but he's not quite mobile enough for that just yet. I guess I'll have to be content with hugs and exploring hands at this point. Maybe if I can get him to hold on tight enough, then I can start dragging him toward the kitchen.
speaking of.....best go, I hear someone rummaging in there!

How a Bergen County golf course landed The Barclays
On an October day back in 1935, a few caddies at Ridgewood Country Club in Paramus presented a seemingly ridiculous challenge to the young assistant pro.
They knew Byron Nelson was good. But they didn't think he could hit the narrow flagpole from the patio behind the clubhouse. Today there's a plaque on the stone patio that marks the spot from which Nelson, one of the legends of the game, hit that flagpole on his second try.
It's just part of Ridgewood's rich history, one that the venerable club will build on this week when it hosts The Barclays for the third time.
The top-ranked golfers in the world — including Rory McIlroy, Adam Scott, Phil Mickelson and Rickie Fowler — will be at Ridgewood this week to compete in the first event of the PGA Tour's playoffs. The purse is $8 million, with $1.44 million going to the winner.
Ridgewood has hosted the Ryder Cup (1935), the U.S. Amateur (1974), the U.S. Senior Open (1990) and the Senior PGA Championship (2001). But when the FedEx Cup playoffs and The Barclays first arrived at Ridgewood in 2008, it was the storied club's first foray into big-time, modern tournament golf. And for a long time, it looked as if Ridgewood might not get that opportunity.
In the early 2000s, Ridgewood was in the running to host the Ryder Cup, but the PGA of America decided against it.
"They loved the golf course," former club President Alex Khowaylo said. "But they thought we couldn't handle infrastructure."
Hosting a high-profile, televised golf tournament is about much more than having a championship-caliber golf course. There needs to be room for spectators, hospitality structures, media, camera towers and parking.
So Ridgewood, a 27-hole facility, began creating a composite course. The idea was to select the club's best 18 holes and utilize the other nine holes for all those other structures that are necessary for a large event.
In 2005 — with the club in the midst of a 10-year, $12 million course and clubhouse restoration — Khowaylo put together a committee with the goal of bringing in a large tournament by 2011. Ridgewood was a finalist to land the 2011 U.S. Women's Open, but the USGA went in another direction.
Then in 2007, the club got an unexpected call from the PGA Tour. The Barclays was going to begin rotating around the New York City area and was interested in having Ridgewood as one of its hosts.
The interest was mutual, but there was one major snag: Ridgewood's composite course placed the 10th tee at the farthest point from the clubhouse, with no easy access to it.
The Barclays has a field of 125, and with all those players, the event must use both the first and 10th tees to start rounds on Thursday and Friday before the field is cut in half for the weekend rounds. Getting players to the 10th tee presented a logistical nightmare that could undermine the chance to host the tournament.
For hours, club officials and PGA Tour brass drove carts around the course, trying to find a re-routing solution.
"It was getting late in the day," Ridgewood golf course superintendent Todd Raisch said. "We hadn't had lunch, and everyone was complaining about getting hungry. And the [PGA Tour official] said, 'I just don't think it's going to work out between the PGA Tour and Ridgewood.' And it just hurt to hear that."
But finally, Raisch came up with a solution: The same 18 holes were kept, but the order of a few holes was switched around, moving the 10th tee much closer. The Championship Course was born. And it ended up hosting The Barclays sooner than first imagined.
In early 2008, the PGA Tour and Westchester Country Club ended their partnership. With less than eight months' notice, the Tour asked Ridgewood to host The Barclays.
Hosting a tournament is a major undertaking for the club. The course is closed to members for about 10 days for the actual tournament. But normal play is disrupted for much longer as workers build the massive structures for more than a month. Bleachers, camera towers, hospitality structures and even spectator traffic can damage the course and affect play long after the tournament is over.
After going through a smaller-scale version of those problems in 2001, when the club hosted the Senior PGA, members weren't unanimous in their support for bringing in The Barclays.
"There were some naysayers," Khowaylo said.
But the tournament was ultimately approved, and in less than eight months, Ridgewood scrambled to host The Barclays for the first time.
The Barclays in 2008 was a success for Ridgewood in every way. Some members had been concerned that the players would post ridiculously low scores, but the course more than held its own, with a winning score of 8 under par. Better yet, the players raved about the course.
And the tournament helped raise about $1 million for charity that year, a portion of which the club could designate to charities of its choice. (The Tour and tournament do not disclose the details of its financial agreement with host courses.)
It wasn't long before The Barclays came knocking on Ridgewood's door again, asking the course to be a part of the four-course rotation.
"We really wanted to come back here," tournament director Peter Mele said. "We were well-received by the membership. And the players — to a man — loved the golf course. So we began discussions about returning the event."
Soon after the 2008 tournament, a proposal that would bring The Barclays back for 2010, 2014 and 2018 was put to a vote among the Ridgewood membership. According to Khowaylo, more than 80 percent voted yes.

(Kristina, Christina Rose, Kristyna Rose, Tracey Quinn Perez)Kristina Rose is a girl who originally comes from San Diego, California. She is part Hispanic and part Caucasian and is a very petite girl standing barely over 5 feet tall. She has an all natural body and doesn't even have any tattoos or body piercings. She got her start in the adult industry when she worked in the office of a porn company, but when they relocated their offices she was laid off. After sending out many resumes for work, the only companies who responded were other adult companies so she took some work as a photographers assistant. She was encouraged to become a model by the photographer and finally decided to give it a try figuring that she could always write it off as a fun experience if it didn't work out. She loved it and soon was working full time as a porn performer. One of her first scenes was in the film "Big Slippery White Butts 4" from Evasive Angles which was directed by Jacob Jewell. She's in the very first scene along with a guy who finds her massaging oil all over her ass and it's not long before they are in a hardcore fuck scene. She even appears as the main focus of the DVD box cover for the movie. Kristina Rose had her very first anal sex scene in her debut year in the movie "Kristina Rose: Dirty Girl" from Elegant Angel. She is the only photograph on this DVD box cover and the highlight is on her amazing ass near the text "Watch me take it up my ass for the 1st time." Not only does she have anal sex in the movie but she appears in all six of the scenes. The second scene is the one with the anal cherry popping and the honor goes to scene partner James Deen who concludes the scene with a nice facial cumshot. Kristina Rose has been in the adult industry now long enough to have built her filmography up to 420 movies. She has been nominated for many adult awards during her career and was even recently nominated for Female Performer of the Year in 2013. Porn fans love her nice round ass and her petite figure. She is a vocal member of the adult community and has fans worldwide waiting eagerly for each new release.

Bookstore | NONFICTION | RELIGION | BIBLICAL CRITICISM & INTERPRETATION
Either the most controversial or the most satisfying book of the century: The Truth About Christianity will cause you to stop and examine your very existence.
Do you know?
That Jesus was not the only Christ?
That you can live life abundantly and experience eternal life right now?
Who and What the "Beast" really is?
That Jesus was not the only Son of God?
That the prophet Isaiah predicted: "In our times, that church doctrine would be unnecessary since one man would not have to teach another the truth-because it would be made known to everyone?
That we are-right now-in the end times?
That The Truth About Christianity answers these questions and more-based upon the true sayings of Jesus?

Zimbabwe have been largely written off as a means for the New Zealand cricket team to roll the arm over and swing the willow at leisure on their way to the World Cup quarter-finals.
That assumption fails to consider the African nation, so long the political pariahs, actually did win a one-day international against Bangladesh in their tour to the subcontinent in December, unlike New Zealand.
They have produced a number of solid performances of late, even against Australia in group play, largely through a spin attack revelling in the conditions. On the Bangladesh tour, spin accounted for 14 of the 25 wickets they took in four completed matches.
Little has changed at the World Cup, as was seen against Canada in their second group game. The combination of the left-arm orthodox Ray Price, off spinner Prosper Utseya and leg spinner Graeme Cremer accounted for eight Canadian wickets.
The 34-year-old Price has been opening the bowling - some describe him as a fast bowler trapped in a slow bowler's body - with success since he returned to internationals in 2007. His eight overs picked up three wickets for 16 runs against Canada.
New Zealand will need to prepare to counter a level of aggression which has him ranked as the third best one-day bowler in the world.
But New Zealand is taking no chances, stacking two of the three nets at training with local spinners as well as using Daniel Vettori and Nathan McCullum with a new ball.
Coach John Wright kept a close eye on proceedings. The New Zealand batting line-up is understood to have been told future places at the tournament could be up for debate with further failure tomorrow night.
New Zealand bowling coach Allan Donald spent time with Price and a number of his Zimbabwean teammates during a stint coaching in the country.
"Zimbabwe play fearless cricket, they don't stand back for anybody. I'd call them an uneducated but dangerous cricketing nation at the moment, having been out for so long.
"Price is a great influence on their youngsters. He's a passionate guy who likes to get stuck in. We should just be glad he's not a quick bowler because he's got that mentality."
Martin Guptill and Jesse Ryder have been part of New Zealand's batting inertia. Guptill rifled off a century against Ireland in the warm-ups but has scored just one 50 on the subcontinent in 12 official one-dayers. Ryder has a top score of 34 in 10 ODIs in this part of the world.
"We've had a talk [with Wright]," Ryder says. "We [the top and middle order] realise we are a weak point at the moment. The plans we've set in place are to be only two to three wickets down after 35 overs.
"I love playing spin, so patience is the key; like being happy to milk singles."
Guptill acknowledges playing spin has been the main focus at training: "To counter the number of spin bowlers in their side, we've been rotating the strike regularly [in practice] and hopefully in the game the boundaries will eventually come."

His last appearance for the club came in the 3-1 npower League Two defeat at Northampton on New Year's Day
John Still Said "I want to thank Michael for his year at the club; he came here at a difficult time and done fantastically well. Last year he was our player of the season and this year he has contributed in a few different positions for us. When Michael joined us we couldn't really afford him, he got a lot of help from Brentford which helped him join us but that brings him up until about now. We wish mick the best of luck and thank him for his services. He is always welcome here at Dagenham & Redbridge".
Everyone at the club thanks Michael for his services and we wish him well for the future.

Sixth District Energy Updates: Hurricane Ike
September 15, 2008
|The Department of Energy (DOE) reported that 15 refineries in Texas and Louisiana, representing 22 percent of total U.S. refining capacity, were reported shut down. It is unclear how long these refineries will remain offline.
|Early assessments note minimal damage to refineries. However, until power is fully restored, production will not return to normal. Most estimates are for full output to be achieved in one to two weeks. In this environment, product supplies will remain tight, and prices could remain elevated. Inventories for gasoline are at their lowest level since 2000.
|The DOE has thus far granted a handful of requests for Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) crude from refiners in the wake of Hurricanes Gustav and Ike.
|The New Orleans Branch reports that refineries in Lake Charles fared better than expected and that refineries in Baton Rouge and Plaquemine areas are up and running, according to their contacts.
|In Texas, more than 2.4 million people, or 23 percent of the state's customers, were reported without power yesterday morning. Nine percent of customers in Louisiana and 10 percent of those in Arkansas were without electricity.
|Oil and Gas Production
|On Sunday afternoon, the Minerals Management Service reported that nearly 100 percent of the oil production and 92 percent of the natural gas production in the Gulf remained shut in.
|The New Orleans Branch reports that a contact who spoke with the owner of a private oil company indicated that damage assessments were still under way in south Louisiana. He reports that there will be enough staff to fly out to the rigs by Tuesday to assess the damage, which they believe to be less than anticipated, and should be up and running by the end of next week.
|Ports and Pipelines
|Major crude pipelines originating in Texas and Louisiana shut down operations in preparation for Hurricane Ike.
|As of September 14, the Colonial and Plantation product pipelines, major routes for products going from the Gulf to the East Coast, are operating at reduced rates.
|The Louisiana Offshore Oil Port has resumed limited operations and is expected to resume operating its marine offloading facilities today.
|Although there have been no reports of damage to natural gas pipelines or production infrastructure, major offshore pipelines remain shut in as a result of evacuations.
|Henry Hub remains shut in as a result of the storm surge and intermittent power outages.

Sustainability Report 2013/14
With the same excitement with which we release products, we provide support to the communities in which we live, work and play. Our community support remains independent from, but aligned with, our company goals and our One Ford plan. One of the outputs of One Ford is to build a better world, and so reaching out and providing assistance to our communities is an essential part of what we do.
Ford has been supporting community efforts since our founding more than 100 years ago. For us, it is not just about donating money. It's also about building partnerships and working with others to address the difficult challenges so many people are facing. Our community activities are guided by the same sustainability and business priorities that also guide our business, including water, human rights and driving safety. We also focus on helping communities meet basic needs (such as food and shelter), supporting development programs, aiding with emergency and disaster response, and assisting in improving educational opportunities. We believe, as Henry Ford did when he founded Ford Motor Company, that our company is only as strong as the communities where our employees and customers live and work.
This section describes our approach to community engagement and investing in the communities in which we operate.
