Termite Art Productions is producing a television program for the Discovery Channel called "Wild Rides 2," which will air in February. Prosecutor: T-shirt case is dropped By ABE LEVY Staff Writer Schools adjust to new exemptions By CHRIS CREWS Staff Writer In the wake of Saturday's landslide vote in fav or of a state constitutional amendment raising the homestead exemption from $5,000 to $15,000, local school administrators are continuing to work to determine the impact the vote will have on the districts. New Braunfels Independent School District Assistant Supenntendent for Finance Lonnie Curtis said he formulated the district's 1997-1998 budget based on the premise the amendment would pass. "I would have had to do more work if the amendment had not passed." Curtis said. The legislation leading to the amend ment precluded school districts from setting tax rates prior to Saturday's election. The only wark refried to the election remaining for the district is to set the tax rate to support the $33,698,933 budget passed by NBISD trustees last week. Curtis said the district would conduct a public tax rate hearing for citizens to voice their opinion about the tax rate on or about Sept. I. The district likely would propose a tax rate of $ 1.5075 per $ IOO valuation based on the $15,000 exemption, Curtis said. The higher tax rate, combined with the increased exemption, should provide a slight decrease rn property owners final tax bill. The current tax rate is $1,465 per $100 valuation, based on the current $5,000 homestead exemption. With Ae higher exemption, a tax bill on a $100,000 home would drop from $1,391 toSl.281 if the proposed tax rate is adopted. Curtis said tax bills should be mailed shortly after the school board adopts the tax rate at its Sept. 15 meeting. CISD finance director Abel Campos said his district stood to lose as much as $500,000 from a cap placed on the amount of taxes citizens 65 and older would have to pay. "The state said it would make up to us the money lost due to the (exemption being raised by $10,000), but I don't see the state making up the difference (due to tax caps Turn to Exemptions, Page 2 A charge against a New Braunfels teen accused of wearing an allegedly offensive T-shirt w as dropped Monday New Braunfels Municipal Court Prosecutor Bruce Boyer said he dismissed a charge of disorderly conduct against David Gonzalez. 17, who reportedly wore the T-shirt at Wal-Mart in New Braunfels. More than a week ago, police arrested Gonzalez for wearing a T-shirt with an upside-down cross, a naked woman and a expletive referring to Christ, police said. Boyer said case law regarding freedom of speech and lack of ev idence were the two main reasons he decided not to pursue the charge. "That doesn't mean it wasn't offensive as far as community standards, but the (U.S.) Supreme Court is clear that it's going to be protected." he said. "That T-shirt conveys an idea and isn't directed at a specific person." Boyer said he was not influenced to drop the chsge because of the American Civil Liberties Union, which objected to the arrest and said it w ould consider supporting a legal challenge bv Gonzalez. ACLU representatives could not be reached for comment Monday evening or this morning. Gonzalez spent the night in jail and faced a potential penalty of $500 and no jail time for the Class C misdemeanor. Gonzalez could not be reached by telephone or at his residence. New Braunfels Police Chief That doesn't moan it wasn't offensive as far as community standards, but tho (U.S.) Supremo Court is clear that it's going to bo protected.' — Bruce Boyer Municipal Court prosecutor Ray Douglas said he supported the two police officers who made the arrest, but pursuing charges was the prosecutor's decision. "In a lot of disorderly conducts. there is a lot of lack of evidence. We don't get a chance to take a photograph with the focus being on the shirt. In hindsight. maybe we should have," he said. "Our officers have to make an interpretation of law in a short time." Boyer said his understanding was that the T-shirt — which would have helped a potential prosecution — was destroyed by the teen's father. Boyer said he considered the initial arrest to be valid since the T-shirt was causing a disturbance in the store and the situation could have posed a threat to Gonzalez's safety . According to the state penal code, disorderly conduct includes 12 offenses that police consider in making an arrest. They include using v ulgar language to "incite an immediate breach of peace." and making an offensive gesture or display to someone NBISD trustees take office, reorganize board The New Braunfels Independent School District board of trustees will be reshuffled with four new cards tonight when the four candidates w ho emerged as the winners in Saturday's school board race take their seats. Sylvia Sanchez and Bette Spain were re-elected to the school board for the District I and at-large seats, respectively. Don Bedford was elected to fill the other at-large seat vacated by Leo Chafin. w ho did not seek another term. Bill Biggadike will fill the District 4 seat. Biggadike, who will serve one year, is completing the term vacated earlier this year by Jaime Padilla. Each of the other three will serve a three-year term. See inside Editorial about NBISD board — Page 4 A The NBISD Board of Trustees will meet at 7 p.m. tonight at the education center board room, 430 W. Mill St. Trustees will canvass the election results and officially declare the w inners. After the trustees have been sworn in, the board will elect its officers. In April, the board attempted to reorganize its officers after Padilla resigned. Three motions failed on a 3-3 vote, so board vice president Carlos Campos has been presiding at the meetings.

Hall and the other children in Mrs. Smith's first-grade class made cat faces and mittens to coincide with a lesson about "Three Lithe Kittens". Communities in Schools expands presence at NBHS By DENISE DZIUK Staff Writer New Braunfels High School will have a new face on campus this fall, and the sole mission of that individual will be to battle dropout and truancy rates. When New Braunfels Independent School District trustees approved the 1997-1998 budget last week, they approved funding for expansion of the Communities In Schools program to the high school level. CIS is already in six other campuses in NBISD, including New Braunfels Middle School. CB is a national propam that focuses on the needs of the family and the student, said Christine Douglas, CIS executive director. CIS workers boost students' self-esteem, focus on good health, help gain access to seeded resources and help students toward a quality education. "We really are thai; to help the students sa goals for themselves and stay in school," said Douglas. "The Communities in Schools program is a national program, and the focus of the program is to stop dropouts.*' NBHS principal Keith Gannger said the district already had one individual saving as an attendance liaison However, that individual serves the entire (hatxict and is spread thin* he said. Ganger mid he wanted a CIS project director at the high school campus became the individual would have mom time to give the high school. He said it also took an enthusiastic and caring individual to be successful, and that was the kind of people who worked for CIS. "It's been very effective in other schools," Gannger said. "(CIS project directors) have a real heart for young people and keeping young people in school.'* Gannger said the position, which will use one of the budget's reserve teaching positions, would improve attendance by targeting truancy and dropouts — areas every school across the state is worried about. New Braunfels High School was rated aa low performing in 1995 based onHi 1994 Hispanic dropout rate. Gannger said districts across the state had problems that year because of the way the state tracked students when they left the distnct. Once districts changed their mahod of accounting for students, he said, the ratings improved. Douglas said CIS does whatever possible to keep a student in school. She said the program worker would offer incentives to attend school, buy a student an alarm clock or just be at school to say good morning Douglas said the project director would even pick up a student who was not rn class at 8 a.m., and have him there by IO a m. when attendance was taken. "The need is there," Douglas said. "I think we'll make an impact.

According to the county's request to be included in the disaster area, it reported 55 families and businesses flooded and 14 families needed temporary housing. Damages w ere expected to total at least $700,000. County roads received minor damage. According to the county fire marshal, a few more than 40 households requested flood assistance. Individual taxing entities must authorize a reappraisal, in this case Comal County and CISD. Rodgers said if the two decided to authonze the reappraisal, paying the costs associated with it would be up to them. He said if only one entity asked for the reappraisal, the other entity soil would use the original appraised values.

I have added the {{DISPLAYTITLE:<title>}} template to make the title/header more readable. Using the hierarchical structure (sub pages) is good and with the DISPLAYTITLE you can shorten the titles and make them more readable. And even with the title it might be useful to use the same title. The wiki uses "_" for spaces. This has the advantage that the Url can be derived from the name. But of course this is my opinion only and not so important, see it more as an idea.

Elyse: Last SalvationMature
I dreamed that I was flying. I was in a place so surreal, so unlike the world of terror and turmoil to which I belonged. A woman stood before me, her skin pallid and ethereal. But most extraordinary of all was her set of massive white wings that surrounded her slim frame.
She beckoned me towards her with a single glance. I came ever closer, seeming to float instead of walk. And when I was directly before her, she leaned towards me and whispered into my ear.
When I awoke, it was with a start. I was shivering, but the room felt a million degrees. I must have a fever, I thought. Getting sick so did not fit into my current agenda.
I was doing my best to compose myself, to shake the sleep from my ice blue eyes and fuly regain consciousness. However, full awareness came upon me when I suddenly felt a trembling finger trail up my bare arm. I was quick to pull away, but the prince was faster, and within a second, he had me pinned to the headboard by nothing but my wrists.
"You think that you can escape me?" he growled, his lips mere centimeters from my ear. I squeezed my eyes shut against the pain, desperately ignoring the twisted feeling in my stomach. The demon let out a slow breath, causing a chill to run up my spine.
I was about to open my mouth and tell him to go back to Hell, but I never got the chance because a moment later he had pressed his lips to my own and was kissing me fiercely. I strained against him, but to no prevail. The demon prince pulled away just long enough to reach out and violently rip my shirt off, discarding the shreds onto the floor.
"I rather like you, Elyse," he whispered against my neck, biting delicately at the skin there. His fingertips were trailing across my collarbone, down my chest...closer and closer...
"Fuck you," I managed to spit at him. He only grinned.
"I want you," he murmured softly before kissing me once again. "How would dear, sweet Ian feel if he knew I'd devoured his precious damsel?"
I tried to scream but no sound came out. The prince undid the button of my pants with ease, and I was certain that he would take me then.
There was but one thing I did not forsee, however. And that was the sudden clamour of the door as it collided with the wall, and the brilliantly shining presence of none other than Alex.

Return of the Fallen
Chapter 11 - Evelyn
Return of the Fallen
I jumped out of bed with a huge grin on my face everything was so perfect. I went and grabbed some cereal and juice and went back into my room to find Leo sitting on the bed, I almost jumped out of my skin.
"Leo! You frightened me!" I shouted
"I'm sorry Evelyn" he looked sad
"Hey, hey I was kidding its ok" I chuckled and kissed him softly
"I love you" he said softly
That took me by surprise, he just said it out of the blue and so softly and full of meaning. I felt my eyes start to water.
"I love you too" I sniffed
"Baby, don't cry you'll set me off" he sniffed and came closer to me putting his hand on my bum as he kissed me.
There was a sudden bang of the front door and I heard footsteps heading towards my room.
"Quick Leo get out that's dad" I said in a panicked whisper.
"Ok, I'll be back later ok I love you" he kissed me quickly and leapt out the window.
There was a knock on my bedroom door.
"Come in" I said
The door squeaked open behind me but no one spoke.
"How was work dad?" I asked
"I'm not your father" growled a voice
I spun round and screamed, there stood in my doorway, his eyes blazing red, his skin a pale white and his huge black wings spanned out behind him, Sarus.
"What do you want!" I shouted
"Come, come Evelyn be civil" he said calmly "I just want to talk"
"Go on then talk" I stuttered
"You're pregnant aren't you?" he asked
"What the hell?! No!" I yelled
He walked over to me and pushed me onto my bed and sat next to me. He reached over and placed his hand on my stomach, his eyes shut quickly and his head jerked to the side
"No" he whispered "No!"
He pushed me off the bed and sat on me and pinned my arms to the floor.
"Get off me!" I screamed and kicked under him
"No! No! No!" he screamed
His eyes were blazing red and his wings were encased over me they were like slabs of steel trapping me underneath him. There was a crash at my window and Sarus was thrown off me and slammed against the wall.
"Get off her! Never lay a finger on her again!" a male voice screamed and growled
I stood up slowly and looked at what was happening. Leo had pinned Sarus to the wall by his throat and they both had their wings spread out behind them. Leo was glowing a bright white light encircling him and causing Sarus to scream out in pain.
I suddenly felt a sharp agonising pain through my stomach it was excruciating. I looked over at Sarus and Leo, Sarus was aiming a black beam of light at my stomach. It kept getting worse and worse until I couldn't take it anymore and I collapsed onto the floor clutching my stomach and gasping in pain.
"Evelyn!" Leo screamed
"Haha I'm going to kill your little unborn spawn Leo" Sarus shouted maliciously
Leo screamed and threw Sarus out if the window before sealing the window with a beam of white light.
"Evelyn, Evelyn oh my God what has he done to you" Leo said with tears in his eyes
He pressed his hands on my stomach they felt so warm, a white glow seemed to emit from his palms and into my stomach, the pain started to soothe and die down. I sighed and closed my eyes and fell back into a deep sleep.
When I woke up I was laid in my bed with Leo laid next to me asleep with a tear stained face. I tried to lean over to kiss him but I couldn't move it was agony. I grunted in pain and laid back. Leo started to stir next to me, he woke up slowly and smiled, and then he kissed my stomach gently.
"How are you?" he asked
"I've been" I screamed a little because I'd moved slightly "Better"
"Evelyn I'm so, so sorry I'm never leaving your side again until I know you and our baby are safe" Leo said softly "Here take this" he placed a locket round my neck "It has some of my soul inside it, it will protect you when I cannot"
I smiled at him and held the locket close; it was warm under my hand, it made my hand glow a golden colour.
"I always knew you were my soul mate Evelyn" Leo said with a smile

What to wear when you have a colostomy
You will not need special clothes for everyday wear. Colostomy pouches are fairly flat and hard to see under most clothing. The pressure of elastic undergarments won't harm the stoma or prevent bowel function.
If you were sick before surgery, you may find you can now eat normally for the first time in years. As your appetite returns, you may gain weight. This can affect the clothes you choose more than the pouching system itself.
Snug undergarments such as cotton stretch underpants, t-shirts, or camisoles may give you extra support, security, and help conceal pouches. A simple pouch cover adds comfort by absorbing body sweat and also keeps the plastic pouch from resting against your skin. Men can wear either boxer or jockey-type shorts.

Former Clippers Employee Sues Donald Sterling
A woman who worked for banned Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling is suing him for sexual harassment. Maiko Maya King worked for Sterling's foundation and, according to her lawsuit, the two were in a "romantic relationship" from 2005 to 2011.
King says Sterling subjected her to a steady stream of racially and sexually offensive comments. The lawsuit also accuses Sterling of offering King money if she would have sex with him, and of withholding her wages when she refused. Sterling fired King early last month. The NBA banned Sterling for life after recordings of him making racist comments became public.

Citrus-Zest Lollipops
Luminous lollipops, laced with the zest of lemon, lime, and pink grapefruit, will delight kids and grown-ups alike.
- Yield: Makes 4 large or 16 small lollipops
Source: Martha Stewart Living, December 2009
- Vegetable oil cooking spray, for molds
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons glucose or corn syrup
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons citrus juice (such as lime, lemon, or pink grapefruit)
- 1 tablespoon citrus zest (such as lime, lemon, or pink grapefruit)
- 1 small drop gel-paste food coloring (such as green, yellow, or pink)
Lightly coat large or small round lollipop molds (hard candy) with cooking spray, and place lollipop sticks in grooves. Bring sugar, glucose, and water to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Heat until a candy thermometer registers 300 degrees. Remove from heat, and carefully stir in citrus juice and zest and food coloring with a rubber spatula. (Mixture will steam and bubble when liquid is added. Be careful, and make sure zest is distributed evenly and not in clumps.) Transfer mixture to a liquid measuring cup, and let bubbles settle slightly, about 10 seconds.
Slowly pour mixture into prepared lollipop molds. Let cool, until lollipops harden, about 30 minutes. Remove lollipops from molds.

Euro Slumps To New Multi-day Lows Against Most Majors
In early trading on Monday, the euro plummeted to new multi-day lows against the currencies of US, Japan and Switzerland. On the other hand, the euro edged up against the British pound due to across the board weakening of the latter.
Euro zone economic sentiment declined further in March, but more slowly than in the first two months of 2009, a monthly survey carried out by European Commission showed today.
The economic sentiment index declined to 64.6 in March, while the consumer confidence and services confidence in March declined one point each to minus 34 and minus 25, respectively.
While industrial confidence slid 2 points to minus 38, confidence in construction remained at minus 32. The business climate indicator for the Euro area fell to minus 3.58.
The euro, which closed last week's trading at 130.12 against the yen fell to a 2-week low of 126.43 in early deals on Monday. If the euro-yen pair moves down further, it may test support around the 122.4 level.
The yen gained despite a disappointing economic report from Japan. Industrial output in Japan plummeted by 9.4% in February compared to the previous month, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry said. That was slightly worse than forecasts that called for a decline of 9.0% following the 10.2% decline in January. On an annual basis, industrial output dropped 38.4% compared to forecasts of a 38.1% decline after the 31.0% retreat in the previous month.
During early deals on Monday, the euro slipped to a 12-day low of 1.3164 against the dollar and an 18-day low of 1.5131 against the Swiss franc. The next downside target level for the euro is seen at 1.307 against the dollar and 1.499 against the franc. The euro-dollar and the euro-franc pairs were worth 1.3295 and 1.5218, respectively at last week's close.
Against the pound, the euro strengthened to 0.9343 in early trading on Monday. This may be compared to Friday's close of 0.9285. The near term resistance level for the euro-pound pair is seen at 0.938.
The pound tumbled today after a report by the property industry group Hometrack showed that the average price for a home in England and Wales plummeted by a record 10.3 percent on year in March. March's annual fall was the biggest yet in Hometrack's monthly survey of estate agents and surveyors, which started in 2000 and has persistently reported lower price falls than official government data.
Adding to pound's slide, another report showed that Britain's financial services industry is cutting jobs at the fastest rate for 16 years as it cuts costs to soften the blow of a steep fall in profitability. The CBI/PWC financial services survey, covering the three months to early March, found 9 percent of companies reporting a rise in business volumes and 56 percent saying volumes fell, giving a net 47 percent of companies reporting a fall. That marked a sixth successive quarter of declines.
In addition, UK M4 money supply increased 1.4% month-on-month in February, unrevised from the preliminary estimate, after rising 2.4% in January, a final report from the Bank of England showed. On an annual basis, money supply rose 18.7%, revised down from an initial estimate of 18.8% growth. M4 sterling lending increased GBP 21.4 billion, larger than GBP 6.7 billion increase recorded in January.

Let's see if I got this right: she'll "support" ending DADT ONLY if it has a full hearing. In other words, until the next Congress is sworn in. Does that mean the "new" House will have to vote on it, too? In that case this is such just so much double talk to defeat implementation.
Hey, thanks again Obama for defending DADT in the courts! You're not part of the solution, you're a big part of the problem!

I'm an independent, so I'm happy to criticize both parties. Democrats may have the majority, but it hasn't been a big enough majority to get the 60 votes needed for cloture. Republicans hold 42 seats. They have zero incentive to help the Democrats pass a bill like DADT that has nothing to do with the Republican agenda to cut taxes. In fact, they're in a position to make themselves look like the 'heroes' by holding it up until the new Congress takes power, when they will hold the house and pick up seats in the senate, allowing them to crow that they could get it done when the Democrats couldn't, neverminding that the Republicans were themselves a major roadblock.
But that doesn't mean I think Republicans really have any genuine interest in repealing DADT. Certainly not more than Democrats do, and I'm not convinced of their genuine interest, either. Seems more like a case of putting on a show to make the LGBT community think that they at least tried to do something, in order to get donations for the 2012 election. And they'll likely succeed in fooling some people, but not me. I believe in results, not "we tried".
Regardless, anyone who thinks DADT is going to get repealed in this session of Congress needs to take a horse-sized reality pill. Republicans aren't going to vote for cloture until the tax cut extension is passed, and there's no guarantee of that even happening before the session ends. Even if they do astonishingly get around to addressing DADT, the cloture vote doesn't mean any of them will actually vote for it, their statements to the contrary notwithstanding. There are bound to be excuses "that we wanted to vote for it, but...", and you had darn well better believe that someone from the GOP side will attempt to amend the hell out of the bill in an attempt to kill it altogether.
It makes me want to puke.

Just 2 points-
1. If-if-if they get the 60 votes for cloture, then it only takes 51 to actually pass the NDAA & attached DADT repeal. THAT'S why the GOP is fighting the cloture vote so hard. They know that if the bill gets to the floor it will pass. So they have to do everything they can to keep it from being debated on.
2. It ain't over till it's over. Sen Reid & Sen Levin are pushing hard for a cloture vote this week- likely today. Sen Collins seems to be the swing vote, though there are a number of other GOPasaurs who have indicated they will vote for cloture and even passage of the bill. If the cloture vote doesn't happen this week, then in all likelihood the bill is dead till next year- which means the DADT repeal is dead until at least 2013, unless the courts overturn it in the meantime.
#11 Dec 9, 2010
Obamaniac® could end DADT any time he wants to by dropping his appeal. But he won't do that because he obviously SUPPORTS DADT, despiet all his lies to the contrary. Or are you going to tell me he never lies ???
#12 Dec 9, 2010
As I have been saying for a long time, DADT will NOT be allowed to be voted on by [G]Reid in the Senate. I STAND by what I say here. If you disagree, then BET me I'm wrong.
The fix is in, and Obamaniac® and [G]Reid are NOT going to allow a vote on repealeing DADT because they BOTH SUPPORT DADT, despite all their lies to the contrary.
They are Evil. PURE EVIL.

Your point might be more accurate were it not for the fact that the Republicans used the filibuster/cloture vote 75% more than the next highest count, which was the 95/96 Congress. It's the "obstructionism" that's my big issue and my reason for "blaming" the Republicans.
Democrats are the biggest wusses and could learn a few things from Republicans, however from a moralistic viewpoint I have to stick with the Dems.

If there isn't a vote, it will be because Reid couldn't get any GOP Senators to vote with the Dems.
Why would Reid even bother talking about a vote if he's opposed? He would simply have said last week that the votes aren't there and let it die then. Why would Reid & Obama both be personally lobbying & negotiating with Collins for her vote, if they don't want a vote to happen?
Is Collins in on your big super-secret conspiracy as well? She's admitted she is in discussions with Reid and has received a call from Obama. Why would she go along with Obama & Reid's conspiracy? Is she lying too?
OMG, just how deep does this conspiracy go? Could it be McCain is in on it as well? Does McCain secretely support repeal of DADT but has to use his secret lover Lieberman to push Collins to vote for it instead, or risk his late-night liaisons exposed??
If there is no vote on DADT it just means the Dems FAILED. Nothing more, nothing less. You can say they used poor judgement, or they let the GOP & military set the time table for the study, or they traded votes on GLBT rights for other votes they wanted more. But to continue on with your "dems are evil" and "they don't want it repealed" just makes you sound like the total ass we all know you to be.

I do agree Obama is unlikely to drop the appeal of DADT. Of course not because of your typically looney assertions, but simply because he's not willing to expend the political capital. The GOP Senators will have called his bluff, knowing the current SCOTUS is highly unlikely to overturn DADT.

OK, Frank, you propose the terms of the bet. Let's see if we can nail you down to SOMETHING, because up to now you have been as slippery as most of the politicians that you criticize so loudly. Are you willing to bet on whether DADT will be repealed at all during Obama's presidecy?(If he really does not want it repealed, as you suggest, then he can always veto any DADT legislation, remember?) So wil he, yes or no?

Photos: Our Ten Least Favorite Places in Denver
More photos below.
To generate a little community spirit -- and to prove that it is hip -- Denver's Department of Community Planning and Development is asking residents to name their favorite places in town. To participate, you just need to share your spot via Twitter, Instagram or Facebook, using the hashtag #favoriteplacedenver and including text, photos or videos.
There's no hashtag for least favorite places. But maybe there should be....
See also: What's Your Favorite Place in Denver? The City Wants to Know
The planning department's social media campaign "is an opportunity to shout from the rooftop what you love about your favorite rooftop -- or plaza, street, park, alley, patio, etc. There's no right or wrong answer," the city promises. "Your submissions will kick-start a wide-open Denver love-fest to foster civic pride and learn from each other how we can make our beloved city even better."

Of course, some of our favorite places are long gone: Celebrity Sports Center, Mile High Stadium, Daddy Bruce's Bar-B-Que. But there are hundreds of other favorite places that Westword recognizes each and every year -- and without a hashtag -- in our annual Best of Denver issue.
Still, the city's campaign, which runs through September, got us thinking -- not just about our favorites, but also our least favorite places. And there are plenty of them, many traffic-related (guess we should ride our bikes more). In fact, rather than trying to fix what ain't broken, maybe the city should start by trying to address #leastfavoriteplacesdenver and go from there.
Here are our top ten least favorite places in Denver:
Number 10:
The confluence of Sand Creek and the South Platte, near Suncor, in 2012.
Anthony Camera
While Confluence Park is one of our favorite places, our least favorite is up the Platte a few miles. Only the brave breathe the air for more than a few seconds at the confluence of the South Platte and Sand Creek, next to the Suncor refinery. Dead raccoons and fish bobbing in the benzene brew make this a scenic spot for picnics -- or the flailing of penitents. Number 9:
The men's rooms at Sports Authority Field at Mile High are crowded, usually bereft of soap, and they smell bad. And we understand that you're drunk and loud and excited, but please don't slap us on the back while we're peeing. Oh, and try to aim.

I have a really quick question for you. Why did Ryan Villopoto decide to celebrate his new lites championship by placing a large penis on his jersey? Picture is attached.
Ben from the beach
Dear Ben,
Um, I wish I had an answer for you, Ben…. I've looked at the jersey in several different photos and although it has a slight resemblance to a bullet, it is clearly a large, gold penis. The jersey is something that his sponsors would have put together for him so you can't blame Ryan for this. And in the afterglow of his most recent title you can't expect Ryan to inspect all of the various shirts and hats that were thrown on him as he made his way to the podium. I would guess that either Mitch is mad at Ryan for leaving his team at the end of the year and wanted to play an inappropriate practical joke on him, or the designer over at Thor is a big fan of the movie Austin Powers: Gold Member.
Hey there, Pingster,
Long time reader, 1st time writer or something like that. Now that Toyota has a full year under their collective belt being the title sponsor for motocross, JGR, and a major sponsor of Supercross, do you know if they are satisfied with the results of all the exposure (massive amounts of cash)? I get a little nervous for the sport sometimes and I wonder where we would be as a sport right now without Monster and Toyota. I know bikes will always sell and people will always ride (at least my family will!!) but without these two major sponsors in a down economy does the series even run? These are very serious questions and when I put these issues in front of the wife along with a bunch of other rationalizations it only made sense for me to run out and get a shiny new Tundra. When the salesman/crook/grease ball asked me to fill out a questionnaire I knew exactly what to write in the box that read, "What forms of advertising did you see the vehicle in?" AMA Toyota Motocross/Supercross interactive displays of course!!!
As I drove away from the dealership with a poop-eating grin on my face I stopped at a gas station and picked me up a few Monster Javas for the week. Just doing my part, Ping.
Tundra lover in SoCal.
P.S. A little off-the-subject, but where in the hell did all these flat-bill tribes members come from? I've lived in California my whole life and I don't think they are an indigenous tribe. Someone needs to tell them they forgot to take the tags off AND they look like attention starved jackasses.
Dear Tundra Lover,
I applaud your loyalty to the companies that truly do support the sport of MX and SX. I'm sorry that you had to deal with a car salesman and, as a result of your purchase, you will now have to deal with the DMV. Add in a trip to the post office and you have completed the world's-biggest-idiots trifecta. Still, you can take comfort in the fact that you bought the best truck on the market. And when you hear that from a nationalistic, republican-voting, American flag-pin wearing guy like me, it means something. Sorry, GM, but sometimes the truth hurts.
There is no question that our sport would suffer without the backing of these and other great companies but it has run without title sponsorship before. I hope that we don't have to cross that bridge any time soon and with patrons like you buying trucks and energy drinks we should be alright.
Now, the flat-bill, "bro" movement is a touchy subject with me. I've been called a bro just because I ride motocross and there is huge difference between a racer and a bro. If you aren't sure what a bro is, or you want to learn more about this sub-set of human beings, check out www.flatbillers.com. It is the place I go to have a good laugh at the kooks walking around with flat bills (turned slightly sideways, of course, and with the sizing sticker still attached), black bro shirts, Famous belt, baggy shorts, black socks and skate shoes. In simpler terms…attention-starved jackasses.
Dear Almighty Ping,
Good friends of mine are about to tie the knot, and of all places, at a motocross track, in their gear. They both race and met at the track. I think it's the most moto-romantic thing I've ever heard. But I'm having trouble figuring out what to get them as a wedding gift. I can't help but think some of the traditional wedding gift fare is completely out of the question. Any unique ideas?
P.S. Chappy won't stick. I give Bubbles four thumbs up
Dear Lynn,
That is a unique circumstance, for sure, and a set of stemware or a chaffing dish or a crock-pot will simply not work for this couple. I don't know anything about them but if they are actually getting married at a track in their gear then I have some gift ideas for you. My first suggestion is a case of contact cleaner. Any self-respecting motocrosser has and can always use more contact cleaner. It's got a thousand uses and you can never have enough. My next gift would be more contact cleaner. If you need clarification please see the comments for gift number one. The third gift could go either way. If you don't think they'll make it you could give them the number to a good divorce lawyer. Hey, lets be realists here; the number is still 50% that all those blissful couple will divide half their junk up after a while and go separate ways. If you think these two have a chance, then I would go with tickets to the Castillo Ranch Ride Day that Asterisk puts on every year. That sounds like the perfect honeymoon for these two.
Good luck and go Bubbles!

What is a thalamic or hypothalamic astrocytoma?
These pediatric brain tumors (also called gilomas) arise in the thalamus and the hypothalamus. The thalamus is a deep-lying central part of the brain responsible for identification of sensation, such as temperature, pain and touch; it is also the relay center for movement. The hypothalamus is the area just below the thalamus, responsible for hormone functioning, body temperature, sleep and appetite. Sometimes an astrocytoma can invade both areas—sometimes only one. "Low-grade" tumors are slow-growing and less aggressive than high-grade (malignant) tumors.
How are thalamic/hypothalamic astrocytomas classified?
An important part of diagnosing a brain tumor involves staging and classifying the disease, which will help your child's doctor determine treatment options and prognosis. Staging is the process of determining whether the tumor has spread and if so, how far.
There are four "grades" of astrocytomas. Ordered from least to most aggressive, they are:
Thalamic/hypothalamic astrocytomas are usually classified as grade I or grade II tumors.
What causes thalamic/hypothalamic astrocytomas?
While research has shown that there is a link between some types of low-grade astrocytomas (including thalamic/hypothalamic astrocytomas) and certain genetic diseases, specifically neurofibromatosis I and tuberous sclerosis, these tumors most often have no known cause.

I grew up in a family of small business entrepreneurs. When I was young, I worked in our family business, "Hawaiian Toffee Treasures." That experience gave me a basic understanding of the kind of commitment and effort it takes to be successful in a small business, including working long hours, making sacrifices, and dealing with the inherent uncertainties of getting a small business off the ground. Growing up in a small business family taught me the value of personal responsibility and the value of every single hard-earned dollar.
Too many politicians in Congress are more interested in handing out billions in tax breaks and subsidies to big corporations than in supporting small businesses--the true backbone and job creators of our economy--and helping them to launch the next generation of entrepreneurs.
If we want to get people back to work, then we need to support growth at the local level by making it easier for business owners and entrepreneurs to create jobs. Most small business owners already have the determination and commitment necessary to succeed; they just need a business-friendly climate and a helping hand.
Here are just a few examples of simple, common sense steps we can take to create good jobs:
- Provide tax credits for businesses that hire workers who have been unemployed for more than six months.
- Eliminate redundant and unnecessary bureaucracy and regulations that make it hard for entrepreneurs and small businesses to start and succeed.
- End tax breaks for corporations that outsource jobs overseas.
- Reduce payroll taxes for small business owners.
- Provide incentives to banks to provide loans to small business owners.

Colombe Jacobsen guides you through a light vegetarian version of a comfort classic which is just in time for those cold winter days - Healthy French Onion Soup!
The first step of this French onion soup recipe is to create the stock - this will be the base for all the flavor of the soup. The primary ingredient for the stock will be onion peels. Onions have a surprising amount of nutritional value. They are great for cardiovascular issues and also help to build bone and connective tissue. Just peel off the skins of your onions to be used in the broth.
Colombe also adds turnips to the broth. They will help give the French onion soup broth a lot of flavor, particularly because we are making a vegetarian broth. Place the broth on the back burner of the stove. Bring to a boil and then let simmer for 50 minutes.
In a second pot, you can start your onions for the bodies of the healthy French onion soup. First, put in two tablespoons of butter. Alternatively, you can also use olive oil as a substitute for the butter if you are watching your butter intake. Once the butter has melted in the pot, add in the sliced onions and thyme. Wilt the onions until they are a nice caramelized brown.
Once the broth is ready, strain the onion peels and turnips so you have a nice clear broth. Then, add in the secret touch finishing flavors - low sodium soy sauce, mirin and rice wine. Combine body of soup with the broth.
To serve, Colombe recommends pre-toasting a whole grain piece of bread, and then adding a small amount of grated gruyere cheese and thyme. Then scoop the healthy French onion soup directly over top of the bread and cheese - the heat of the soup will melt the cheese without needing to place in the oven.
This easy recipe for healthy French onion soup will help you warm up any fall or winter day!

|Visitors at the Book Fair - A crowd drawer
Yes, Porto Alegre has a book fair. An annual event held every year towards the end of October, beginning of November.
It is one of the oldest in the country. This is all because one porto-alegrean had visited one such fair in Rio de Janeiro and inspired, he came up with a similar event in Porto Alegre. That was in 1955.
What they wanted was to make books available to the masses and since they would not come to the books why not take the books to the them? That is what they did back then.
Alfândega (Customs) Square was a busy corner in Porto Alegre in the 50s and 400 thousand people inhabited the Merry Harbor. So, on November 16th, 1955, the first Porto Alegre Book Fair was set in motion with 14 wooden stalls around a monument to an important general. From then on, as you can imagine, the fair idea caught on and goes on until today.
|Jane Tutikian - This year's Honoree
This year's fair will be held from October 28th to November 15th , 2011. Sold? Catch that flight and visit the fair.

Arif Lohar
|Arif Lohar
|Native name
|عارف لوہار
|Achh village in Punjab, Pakistan (near Lalamusa)[1]
|Punjabi Folk music
|Vocalist, musician
|Internalmusic UK
|Notable instruments
Arif Lohar is a Punjabi folk singer from Pakistan. He usually sings accompanied by a native musical instrument resembling tongs (called a chimta). His folk music is representative of the traditional folk heritage of the Punjab. He is a son of the renowned folk singer Alam Lohar.[2]
Early life[edit]
Arif Lohar was born in 1966 in Lala Musa in Gujrat District, Punjab, Pakistan. His father was Alam Lohar, who belonged to the village of Achh in nearby Kharian Tehsil, and was a prominent folk singer.[1] Arif Lohar started singing with his father and his eldest brother, Arshad Mahmood Lohar, and younger brother Tariq Lohar at an early age. He has 7 other brothers named Irfan Mahmood Lohar, Imran Mahmood Lohar, Khalid Mahmood Lohar, Basharat Lohar, Faisal Lohar who all live in the UK. Arif Lohar is the only one of Alam Lohar's 8 sons who lives in Pakistan along with his family. Arif Lohar briefly went into acting in Punjabi movies before returning to his music career at the age of 22.
Arif Lohar has performed in more than 50 foreign tours around the world during the last 20 years, including tours to the UK, United States and UAE.[3] In 2004, he performed in China for the opening of the Asian Games, which had a crowd of close to 1 million. He once performed in North Korea for the late President Kim Jong-il as part of an international delegation of peace and goodwill. He has also played multiple lead roles in Punjabi movies, and produced three songs for the soundtrack of Syed Noor's film Jugni (2012), the highest-grossing Pakistani film of 2012.
In 2005, Arif Lohar was awarded the Pride of Performance Award by the Government of Pakistan – the highest civil award in Pakistan.[4] To date, he has more than 150 albums (including many Singles - LP's) to his credit and recorded more than 3,000 songs, mostly in the Punjabi language. In 2006, he made headlines in the Punjabi music world by releasing his album 21st Century Jugni,[5] with music produced, arranged, and mastered by Mukhtar Sahota[citation needed] in Wolverhampton, UK, which was released by Internalmusic UK.
In June 2010, Arif Lohar participated in Coke-Studio (a Pakistani live session programme by Rohail Hayat). During Coke-Studio season 3, Arif Lohar performed "Alif Allah (Jugni)" with upcoming musician Meesha Shafi.[3] Lohar's performance for Coke Studio featured two other songs: "Mirza" and "Alif Allah Chambey Dey Booti/Jugni", the latter a collaboration that became an international success.[1] Filmmaker Saif Ali Khan bought the rights to "Jugni" for use as a feature song in his Bollywood movie Cocktail. Other versions of "Jugni" have also been featured in Bollywood movies, including an adapted version that first appeared on 21st Century Jugni album in the film Diary of a Butterfly. He also sang in the Bollywood film Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (2013).
He has also sung in multiple Punjabi Films in Pakistan and India.
He is now one of the best Punjabi folk and Sufi singers in the world - just like his late father Alam Lohar.
Lohar's Charity[edit]
In 2004, Arif's eldest brother, Dr Arshad Mahmood Lohar, formed Alam Lohar Memorial Trust (ALMT) in honour of their father. An affiliate of the trust was a production studio called ALMTV Studios. The studio was designed to raise awareness for health campaigns in the UK, including the Stop Smoking, and Healthy Mothers and Healthy Babies campaigns on behalf of the National Health Service. These campaigns targeted mainly Pakistani and other South Asian communities with health problems, and Arif performed concerts around the UK to promote them.
In September 2010, Arif Lohar began actively campaigning to help victims of the 2010 Pakistan floods. He appeared on national television to help encourage local and international fundraising, and also performed at special concerts throughout Pakistan.

With the Winter Olympics now underway in Sochi, Russia, Jewish debate on the games mirrors the discourse in the broader international and athletic communities.
While some Jews say they view the games purely as sport, many say they cannot ignore Russia's controversial "gay propaganda" legislation, political detentions, allegations of Olympic corruption, and the recent terrorist threats against the games.
"I personally don't plan to attend or follow the games and actively encourage boycotting/not attending the games," said Anya Levitov, managing partner at Evans Property Services in Moscow.
At the forefront of recent international criticism leveled at the Russian government is the country's legislation against "gay propaganda."
Masha Gessen, a Russian-American journalist and activist who is both Jewish and openly gay, told ABC News that the propaganda law, which was signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin last June, bans the distribution of information that supposedly could harm children's development or encourage them to accept alternative sexual relationships.
"There have already been attempts to remove children from lesbian couples. So, basically, LGBT people [in Russia] have an incredible amount to fear right now, especially if they have children," Gessen said. Furthermore, while the law itself only bans propaganda, anti-gay violence around the country has increased.
Stuart Lieberman, editorial manager for the International Paralympic Committee — who will be reporting on the March 7-16 Paralympic Games, which are also taking place in Sochi — disagrees with boycotting the Olympics.
"I don't think you can be entirely separate from politics [as it relates to the Olympics], but I don't think you should be avoiding countries for reasons like this," he said. Part of the value of the games is "to inspire and excite the world, and to instill change in society," he added.
Sochi's Chabad-Lubavitch center is preparing to welcome an influx of Jewish athletes and visitors to the 3,000-member local Jewish community. Chabad has acquired two temporary centers, to be staffed by 12 rabbinic interns, and it expects to prepare about 7,000 kosher meals over the course of the games.
Rabbi Ari Edelkopf, the Chabad emissary to Sochi, does not take a political stand on human rights or corruption issues in Russia.
"I view my role in this community as a spiritual one. I'm here to cater to the needs of the Jewish community, as well as to visiting tourists," Edelkopf said.
Edelkopf did, however, note that the Sochi Jewish community is "in touch with local officials and security experts" regarding safety precautions, in light of concerns that the Sochi Olympics may be a target for terrorist attacks, particularly from Islamist groups in the Northern Caucasus.
In December, two suicide attacks killed 34 people in Volgograd, about 700 kilometers north of Sochi. An Islamist group from the Caucasus claimed responsibility.
Police have implemented long-planned restrictions of access to and movement within Sochi. Up to 70,000 personnel are on patrol at the games, according to some estimates.
Sam Kliger, the American Jewish Committee's director of Russian Jewish community affairs, hopes that Russia "will do its best to prevent any attempt of terrorist acts during the Olympics." A positive sign is that Russia reportedly cooperates with the United States on security issues, said Kliger, who also cited rumors that Russian security cooperation with Israel is on the way.
Levitov, however, questions the publicity surrounding security risks to the games.
"I personally view the widely publicized threats of terrorist attacks simply as a PR effort of Russian authorities," she said. "It … allows for excuses if something does go wrong. Any mismanagement, infrastructural failures or collapsed buildings can be explained by terrorism."
Like the IPC's Lieberman, some Jewish groups see the Olympics as a way to promote tolerance and freedom.
"The Olympic Games have the potential to mark a new direction in which there is no discrimination based on race, gender, handicaps or sexual orientation," B'nai B'rith International said in a statement. "The Olympics are a microcosm. While we expect athletes from every nation to have the right to compete fairly, a societal commitment to tolerance and acceptance should be applied to every aspect of society."
Abraham H. Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League, said the games provide "a chance to demonstrate solidarity with the LGBT community and to promote democratic ideals."
ADL did not support boycotting the games, but called for the United States to "consider new ways… to lead in the effort to have Russia address (the) anti-LGBT persecution in the same way Jackson-Vanik dealt with Soviet Jews or the Magnitsky law addressed certain human rights violations," Foxman said.
AJC's Kliger pointed to Russian President Vladimir Putin's recent political gestures, such as releasing from prison oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky and the members of the Pussy Riot band, as a sign of progress for the country. Such moves, he said, "indicate Russia is much more interested in conducting the games in the spirit of sports, peace, and cooperation."

Would a non-surgical rhinoplasty be an option to widen the tip and mid-bridge and build up the bridge near to before?
Would a Non-surgical Rhinoplasty Be Able to Fix These Deformities? (photo)
Doctor Answers 2
Based on your photos, you may be a candidate for non-surgical rhinoplasty treatments.
You appear to have retracted nostrils, a narrow tip, and a small indentation where your hump used to be. I would not suggest trying HA, CaHydroxylAppetite, or PMMA fillers as these have been associated with necrosis, or dead skin in a minority of patients.
Mt personal preference is to use Silikon-1000, an off-label filler for permanent results. Silikon-1000 has never been associated with necrosis after injection.
Hope this is helpful for you.
Web reference: http://nonsurgicalrhinoplasty.net/
Non Surgical Rhinoplasty and tip
There are results and case studies of nasal tip necrosis following tip injections. Tread very carefully here. Non-surgical rhinoplasty is still floating in uncharted waters as we all learn a little more each day. Top and middle 1/3 injections are stable and predictable and do well. Nasal tip injections can be problematic. The deformity you have is called a parentheses deformity as the nasal tip cartilage was positioned a little too cephalic (or north). A repeat procedure can correct that with cartilage grafting...but again...I would hestitate to attempt an injection, quick fix for that particular problem.
