-- Alex Grimsley and Frank Henry-Ala are signed, filling the the two scholarships that were vacated by the departure of Mike Scott and Haminn Quaintance. Yet Geno Ford isn't done signing kids just yet.
A third scholarship has become available by the departure of Gabe Garcia and Ford plans on using it wisely, possibly on another Brazillian. Rodrigo Peggau, a 6-foot-8, 230 pound forward from the Patterson School in North Carolina is one player that has been offered a scholarship by the Flashes. Ole Miss, the College of Charleston, Marshall and St. Louis have also offered.
Peggau initially signed a letter of Intent to play basketball next season at James Madison, but a coaching change and a knee injury altered his plans. The injury knocked Peggau out of all but five games last year.
Kentsportsreport.com's Steve Hare said that Peggau is scheduled to have his torn meniscus repaired on Monday. He will have four weeks of rehabilitation.
His games sounds like a good fit for the gritty, hard-nosed Kent State style of basketball...
"I'm more hustle than technique," he told Steve Hare. "I'm the guy that sees a dead ball and it's not dead for me; I'll jump on it. I don't care if I bust teeth; I'm going to jump on it. A lot of college coaches tell me that they appreciate how I play hard."
You can read Steve Hare's story in entirety over at kentsportsreport.com.
Other Notes.....
-- Jim Christian added his first assistant coach at TCU Tuesday. Former Iowa State assistant Jean Prioleau will join Christian on the bench. You can read about that here.
-- Although the Horned Frogs haven't said one word about the possibility of Eric Haut joining Christian, it has all been confirmed by Christian himself.
"Eric Haut will be the new director of basketball operations, coach Jim Christian said. Haut spent three seasons at Kent State with Christian." the Star-Telegram reported at the bottom of this link.

What was Melbourne's rock scene like 30 years ago? A glance at the line-up for November gigs at the Hard Rock Cafe in November 1974 suggests they were halcyon days of Oz rock, with AC/DC, Stevie Wright, Skyhooks, Ayres Rock, Phil Manning, Dingoes and Renee Geyer gigging regularly, before disco swept all before it. Jet's Nic Cester has piqued the interest of a new generation of rockers by re-recording Wright's comeback track, Evie, but why stop at that? How about someone recording a new version of Skyhooks' goth-rock classic Horror Movie, which was the highlight of the band's one-off reunion show last week. We're sure original producer Ross Wilson would be happy to get involved, but we suggest this time around it could be augmented with some female back-up singers, dancers, pyrotechnics and state-of-the-art videos of the horrors of war. The challenge is out.
All quiet on the Delta front
The dispute between Delta Goodrem and the owners of Empire Records and Collingwood's Studio 52, which recorded the pop starlet's early works in 1999, was settled out of court last week. Not surprisingly, after all the public attention she's received of late, the settlement included a confidentiality clause to keep the details out of the media. Empire's Paul Higgins told Sticky he was looking forward to moving on and continuing to develop young bands such as Fyna and Boyz.
Fly south, be seen, get heard
It's still debatable as to whether a trip to Austin's South By Southwest (SXSW) music conference is worth the costs involved for an indie band. Because so many bands are competing for the attention of talent scouts at the same time, it's easy to fall under the radar. But recent Austrade aid has certainly helped those who make the journey. It offers advice, its export market development grants help cover travelling costs, and it has set up an Australian music stand and united front in the form of an Aussie barbecue showcase. Some artists say their networking paid off, with Riff Random signed by one of Britain's top management companies, Supervision Management. Shane Nicholson found a US booking agent, and Eugene Bari now has distribution throughout the US. "It put John Butler Trio in the driving seat - within a month we had a deal with the company we wanted, Lava Records," says JBT manager Phil Stevens. SXSW regular Stuart Coupe, manager of Laughing Outlaw Records, says it's the most important music conference in the world. "This year I had close to 60 meetings. You'd have to travel around America three times to achieve that, usually," Coupe says. Interested bands need to apply for next year's March 16-20 event through the website (www.sxsw.com) by Monday.
The rock in the secret garden
When the Punters Club closed down, the Rob Roy Hotel sprang up to host local indie and overseas bands. With the new Rob Roy's owners unlikely to continue to have bands play in the back room (what they'll be doing with the front-bar stage is still unclear), punters can be thankful a new venue is opening for the summer. The St Jerome's Summer Series, kicking off on Sunday with Betchadupa, will be held in a concrete back-garden oasis at 7 Caledonian Lane, city, at 4pm, with a barbecue and DJs. Other acts for the summer include Dan Kelly, Claire Bowditch and TZU. Tickets from the venue, Polyester and Gaslight Records.
Tonight, Dave Steel and Tiffany Eckhardt play the Emerald Lounge at the Clifton Hill Hotel; the Kits launch their EP at the Moser Room, South Yarra; Loin Groin rock the Tote, Collingwood; Peabody play a 2am show at Pony, city (and Prahran's Duke of Windsor tomorrow); Shutdown 66 rock the Espy; and Jack Howard plays the Elwood RSL.
Tomorrow, Brian Hooper begins a Saturday afternoon residency at the Tote; the Specimens (above) launch their album, The Quick & The Deaf, at Revolver, Prahran; Karma County and the Millers Tale play Brunswick's Cornish Arms; the Anyones (below left) are at the Espy in St Kilda; Fizard rock Ding Dong, city; Dappled Cities Fly play the Tote with City City City and Disaster Plan; and Legends of Motorsport rock Fitzroy's Old Colonial Hotel.
On Sunday, Jeff Lang plays Manchester Lane, city; the Killjoys play Fitzroy's Marquis of Lorne at 4pm; Mick Hart is at Fitzroy's Bar Open; and the Follow rock the Tote. On Thursday, the Original Angels Band hit the Corner Hotel.
Correction: Last week, Sticky reported the Donovans were Casey Donovan's band, which was incorrect. The band comprises Casey's father and uncles. Apologies.

New Regulations Could Harm Health Care Coverage in California
New regulations and mandates which are going before the legislature could have detrimental effect on health care coverage in California.
Former congressman and state finance director Tom Campbell just finished creating a study with the economist think-tank Berkeley Research Group.
"And we were studying the effect of increasing cost on the supply of hospital services," Campbell said.
Campbell's study focuses on Public Policy proposals, some going for the legislature and their effects on hospitals and health care providers.
"Proposals are often well-intentioned -- sound well-intentioned. But they're going to have the effect of reducing the supply of hospital services if they increase cost or lower revenue, or put a cap on how much revenue can exceed cost," he said.

The sprint win on the 154-kilometre fifth stage from Al Zubara Fort to Madinat Al Shamal again justified the Manxman's off-season move from Team Sky to Omega Pharma-QuickStep.
Cavendish, who claimed a 10-second time bonus with victory, holds a two-second lead going into Friday's final stage, the 116km route from Sealine Beach Resort to Doha Corniche, as he goes in search of the second overall win of his career.
Five BMC Racing riders are behind Cavendish, with American Brent Bookwalter second and Briton Adam Blythe nine seconds adrift in fourth.

Best Of :: La Vida
We've given Carolina's "Best Tortillas" more times than we can count, but don't assume we're being lazy just because we're giving them the honor again. Seriously, we spend all year thinking about tortillas, comparing the offerings at every Mexican place we visit to the hot, homemade beauties we find here.
Indeed, there are lots of tasty tortillas in these parts, but Carolina's are still the gold standard. They're thin and stretchy and almost delicate, but big and firm enough to hold a gut-busting amount of machaca or chorizo and beans without exploding after one bite. Beyond that, they're irresistible on their own. While hundreds of Mexican joints in the Valley look for new ways to dress up their tortillas, Carolina's is doing just fine, thank you, selling them plain. When they're fresh off the griddle, you'll want to eat them by the bagful.
On a sizzling afternoon, we've found a way to beat the heat that's even better than a slushie: a Mexican slushie. Made with fresh fruit chunks, flavored syrups, and scoops of shaved ice, they're called raspados and do they ever hit the spot when the heat's starting to make us a bit loco. La Reyna Michoacana, a cheerful sweet shop with shiny white tile floors, bright lemon-hued walls, and colorful fruit paintings along the counter, is our favorite pit stop for this south-of-the-border refreshment, offering raspados in flavors from strawberry and pineapple to rompope, a sweet almond concoction reminiscent of eggnog. Try one straight up, or order it diablito, with ground chile flakes to add a spicy twist. Sweetened condensed milk is another delicious addition, especially with La Reyna's fabulous tamarind raspado. No matter what flavor you go with, just remember you gotta drink up to cool down.
When summertime arrives you know, in early March we start craving Mexican popsicles, known as paletas. This year, we started the hunt for the cantaloupe bars we recalled from last season, but it wasn't easy to find them. We remembered Moreliana's cute packaging (a boy and girl enjoying their paletas) but figured, hey, one paleta's as good as the next so we bought a bag of another brand. Not so, amigas. Only Moreliana's available in pushcarts through the summer, and at various small ice cream shops and bakeries (but not Phoenix Ranch Market) packs their paletas with tons of fresh fruit, so (to paraphrase Willy Wonka) the cantaloupe really tastes like a cantaloupe and the watermelon really tastes like a watermelon. The mango with chile is also the real deal so much so that three of us tried to eat one without our mouths going numb and our faces sweating, but had to give up. Still, we gave up smiling.
There's nothing like an ice cream sundae to satisfy a sweet tooth. Not just any sundae, mind you, but the kind of layered confection that's so good you'll forget there's such a thing as a love handle. With south-of-the-border Coke in glass bottles, nachos, and wicked chile tamarind raspados, too, this isn't your ordinary ice cream shop. Fruitti Sweets is a tiny little spot that scoops up lip-smacking flavors like boysenberry sorbet, and sugar-free caramel praline. Dreamy chocolate and fresh strawberry are among the sugary syrups we can't live without.
We can't skip the whipped cream, and the toppers include coconut so fresh we swear someone's grating them up in the back. They've got your maraschino cherry covered. Just when you thought it couldn't get any sweeter, pink and yellow sugar wafer cookies seal the deal. For less than three bucks, this sundae's so hot it's cool.
We have a very good friend who's a very good cook, and recently, she let on that she's been perfecting a recipe for tres leches cake. We put in an order for our birthday, but 'til then, we will continue to worship La Tolteca's version. Tres leches means "three milks," indicating the main ingredients: condensed, evaporated, and whole milk. All together, you've got one rich, delicious cake, so moist it's hard to tell where the icing leaves off and the cake begins. Dear friend, you have big shoes to fill! We can't wait to see if you're up to the task of matching the fine bakers at La Tolteca.
It doesn't matter if we feast on a platter of fabulous carne asada, or inhale a whole basket of chips with queso fundido or chunky homemade guacamole we always have room for dessert at Los Sombreros, one of the best places in the Valley for gourmet Mexican food. In particular, we're fanatics of the flan, served up in a thick, generous slice. It's almost big enough to share, but we'd never want to, especially since it's paired with Almendrado tequila. What? Tequila with dessert? Oh, yes, indeed. It's a sweet, aged liqueur with an intense, deep almond flavor. Swirl it a little, inhale that seductive aroma, and then take a sip before you take a bite of silky, creamy flan. It's even better when you drizzle it right on top of the custard. And don't worry about getting funny looks from your waiter. He'll be cheering you on until your last delicious bite.

Pope John Paul and Ecumenism: A Tribute on his Beatification on May 1, 2011Posted by: Fr. Lhem | April 13th, 2011
The Ecumenical Pope
Throughout his entire life, the late Pope John Paul the Great has shown the world how passionate was he in fostering inter-Christian dialogue or what we commonly called ecumenism. Even when he was still a bishop/cardinal in an overwhelmingly Catholic Krakow, his ecumenist enthusiasm thrived through participating ecumenical services during the Chair of Unity Octave, an eight-day period of prayer for Christian unity, observed in the West since the early 20th Century, held in Poland. In his sermon, he praised the Protestant monks from the ecumenical community at Taize, France, whom he had met during Vatican II. When he became Pope, he traveled extensively and came into contact with believers from many divergent faiths. He constantly attempted to find common ground, both doctrinal and dogmatic. He had a good relationship with the Anglican Church, whom Paul VI called "Sister Church" but greatly disappointed with its decision to ordain women. In May 1999, John Paul II visited Romania on the invitation from Patriarch Teoctist of the Romanian Orthodox Church. This was the first time a pope had visited a predominantly Eastern Orthodox country since the Great Schism in 1054. His dream of visiting Russia to open ecumenical dialogue to the Russian orthodox Church did not realize in his lifetime. 1
Criticisms and Praises
Pope John Paul, in his entire pontificate, has gained mixed praises and criticisms from both Catholic and non-Catholic folds alike. Conservative bloc within the Church have commented that the Pope has gone through extreme in his ecumenical endeavor by participating in the following few instances, like: preaching in a Lutheran church Liturgy(December 11, 1983) reciting psalms with Jews while visiting the synagogue of Rome (April 13, 1986) inviting Catholics and Jews to prepare together for the coming of the Messiah (June 24, 1986) engaging in dialogues with the high priests and witch doctors of Voodoo (February 4, 1993) taking part in Animist rites in the "Sacred Forest" in Togo (August 8, 1985) had the sacred Tilac put on his forehead by a priestess of Shiva in Bombay (February 2, 1986) and invited representatives of the "main religions" (about 130 came) to Assisi to pray for peace (October 27, 1986). 2
On the other hand, Protestant churches and liberal Catholics have commended the Pope on the abovementioned endeavors. But to their dismay, they attacked the Pope's seemingly "contradiction" in his ecumenical pursuit when the Pope published his encyclical Ut Unum Sint, reiterating the Vatican II documents of the unicity of the church and of the subsistence of the Church of Christ in the Catholic Church as having the full means of salvation. The encyclical as followed up by the Congregation of Doctrine and Faith Domini Iesus published upon his authority. Many who felt this way wondered how this document could so quickly follow the ecumenical triumph of the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification issued October 1999 by the Catholic Church and the Lutheran church. 3
What really is Ecumenism as perceived by Pope John Paul II?
Pope John Paul II held on to what he called mature and authentic ecumenism. It involves not only a spirit of penance and conversion on all sides but a willingness to face our differences directly, realizing with him that "far more unites us than divides us." Authentic ecumenical sensitivity and reverence do not drift into religious indifferentism. Rather, they require a bold and authentic Catholic witness so that genuine ecumenical progress and dialogue can occur. 4
Ut Unum Sint and Domini Deus: PJP's Ecumenical Pursuit in the light of Catholic Ecclesiology
PJP reiteration of the Vatican II teachings in line with his ecumenical work, as found in his encyclical Ut Unum Sint and Domini Deus, is a clear manifestation of his search for an authentic ecumenical spirit. Christ founded only one Church —his Church— on Peter, with the guarantee of indefectibility in the face of the persecutions, divisions and obstacles of every kind which she would encounter in the course of history (cf. Mt 16:18). Therefore, only one Church exists, which we confess in the Creed as "one, holy, Catholic and apostolic"5
Unicity, Subsistence of the Church
Pope John Paul reaffirmed the Second Vatican Council, in n. 8 of the Dogmatic Constitution Lumen Gentium, stated that "this Church, constituted and organized as a society in this present world, subsists in (subsistit in) the Catholic Church, governed by the Successor of Peter and by the Bishops in communion with him, although (licet) many elements of sanctification and truth can be found outside her structure; such elements, as gifts properly belonging to the Church of Christ, impel towards Catholic unity".
As is well known, this famous expression "subsistit in" was subsequently the object of many and contradictory interpretations. The notion became quite widespread that the Council had not wanted to adopt as its own the traditional statement according to which the Church of Christ is (est) the Catholic Church —as was stated in the preparatory schema so as to be able to say that the Church of Christ subsists also in Christian communities separated from Rome.
"Subsisting is a special case of being. It is being in the form of a subject standing on its own. This is the issue here. The Council wants to tell us that the Church of Jesus Christ as a concrete subject in the present world can be encountered in the Catholic Church. This can occur only once and the notion that subsistit could be multiplied misses precisely what was intended. With the word subsistit, the Council wanted to express the singularity and non-multiplicability of the Catholic Church" 6
Subsistence of the Catholic Church in each Particular Church
John Paul II wrote of "particular Churches in which there subsists the fullness of the universal Church" 7 or that the "Catholic Church herself subsists in each particular Church" 8 The fullness of the universal Church can indeed be predicated of every particular Church, in the sense that, in each particular Church, "the Church universal with all her essential elements is made present" 9 Therefore, each particular Church is constituted "in the image of the universal Church" 10 and, in each one, "the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church is truly present and operative (inest et operatur)"11
This fullness of the particular Church, however, does not come from its particularity, but rather from the presence in it of all the essential elements of ecclesiality, including the Primacy of the Successor of Peter and the College of Bishops. Indeed, these elements, though not originating in the particularity of the Churches, are interior to them 12 In order that such a fullness might exist, the particular Church must be inserted into the universal Communio Ecclesiarum, which in turn is not possible without communion with the Roman See and its Bishop. 13
However, this ecclesial fullness is not sufficient to predicate the subsistence of the local Church in the sense of Lumen Gentium, n. 8, since subsistence implies not only the presence of all the essential elements of the Church of Christ, but also their indefectible permanence. And no particular Church has such a guaranteed permanence. Particular Churches may even disappear, as has happened many times in e course of history. In this sense, it is ore accurate to say, with Christus Dominus, that, in a particular Church, the Church of Christ is present and operative (inest et operatur) or that, in the particular Churches, the universal Church exists (exsistit) 14
Non-Catholic Ecclesial communities as Particular churches
Pope John Paul's very strong fostering of ecumenical dialogue with non-Catholic communities that have preserved the episcopate and the Eucharist (Orthodox, Anglican/Episcopalian, Lutheran) could be traced from his reaffirmation of the Vatican II teachings that these ecclesial communities are indeed particular churches. 15 With regard to magisterial texts, the most notable pronouncements on this question have been two Documents of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith: the Letter Communionis Notio of 1992 which stated that these communities "merit the title of particular Churches" 16 and the Declaration Dominus Iesus of 2000 which stated that they are "true particular Churches" 17
But are they really Particular Churches?
We should remember always that for an ecclesial community to be a particular church "there must be present in it, as a proper element, the supreme authority of the Church: the Episcopal College 'together with its head, the Supreme Pontiff, and never apart from him" 18 But PJP reaffirmed Vatican II in his Apostolic Letter Communionis Notio saying that he real presence of the Petrine Primacy (and of the Episcopal College) in non-Catholic Churches, based on the unity of the "one and undivided" episcopate 18 a unity that cannot exist without the Bishop of Rome. Where, on account of apostolic succession, a valid episcopate exists, the Episcopal College with its Head is objectively present as supreme authority (even if, in fact, that authority is not, recognized).
Furthermore, in every valid celebration of the Eucharist, there is an objective reference to the universal communion with the Successor of Peter and with the entire Church 19 independent of subjective convictions.
Yet their Ecclesiality is wounded
PJP stressed further that it will be possible along these lines to arrive at a deeper understanding of the fact that these comunities, while being separated from Rome, are "true particular Churches". However, it must be remembered that the fact of being not in full communion with the Pope implies a wound in their ecclesiality 20 which is not only of a disciplinary or canonical nature, but is also related to the not full profession of the Catholic faith. Therefore, what is lacking for a non-Catholic particular Church to be fully a Church is not only a belonging to the visible manifestation (in an exterior sense) of the full Christian communion 21
Always Go Back to the Catholic Teaching on the Unicity of the Church
Pope John Paul in his encyclical Ut Unum Sint clearly explicated that it is necessary to return always to what the Catholic faith teaches about the unicity of the one Church of Christ so as not to overlook another aspect of capital importance: non-Catholic particular Churches are true Churches on account of what is Catholic in them. Their ecclesiality is based on the fact that "the one Church of Christ has an operative presence in them" 22 and they are not fully Churches —their ecclesiality is wounded— because they lack elements proper to the Catholic Church. In other words, recognizing that these communities, which are not in full communion with the Catholic Church, have the character of Churches also means necessarily that these Churches are —in an apparent paradox— portions of the one Church, that is to say, of the one Catholic Church, portions in an anomalous theological and canonical situation. One could say similarly that theirs is a "participated ecclesiality according to an imperfect and limited presence of the Church of Christ"23.
Ecumenism in the Light of Catholic Ecclesiology: PJP's legacy
The commitment to ecumenism, which the Church neither can nor wishes to relinquish, is not limited to doctrinal aspects.24 "But what is most urgently needed is that 'purification of memory', so often recalled ' by John Paul II, which alone can dispose souls to accept the full truth of Christ" Certainly, obstacles remain, but there is always room for prayer, thanksgiving, dialogue and hope in the action of the Holy Spirit.25 An ecumenical spirit and a commitment to interreligious dialogue is a logical extension of her missionary spirit. Jesus prayed that all his followers might be one.
John Paul II says, "It is not a question of altering the deposit of faith, changing the meaning of dogmas, eliminating essential words from them, accommodating truth to the preferences of a particular age, or suppressing certain articles of the Creed under the false pretext that they are no longer understood today. The unity willed by God can be attained only by the adherence of all the content of the revealed faith in its entirety. In matters of faith, compromise is in contradiction with God who is Truth. In the body of Christ, 'the way, the truth, and the light' (John 14:6), who could consider legitimate a reconciliation brought about at the expense of truth?" 26.
The Church as a Sign of Contradiction
For Pope John Paul the Great the Church will always be a sign of contradiction to a world that accepts such views as moral relativism (the idea that there is no objective truth), redeemer relativism (Jesus Christ—along with Buddha, Confucius, Muhammad, and Marx—is simply one among many revered moral teachers), and ecclesiological relativism (the Church of Christ is merely a federation of different ecclesial communities whose differences in approach to doctrinal and moral issues is insignificant).27
Personal Reflection:
Looking at the ecumenical endeavors of the late pope, always in line with the Catholic teaching, which he did in his entire life, I can now understand why was so passionate in this kind of work. His desire of fostering relationship and healing the wounded-ness of their ecclesiality, is the gist of this ecumenical endeavor, so that one day we can gather, in his own words, "around the altar of concelebration." Though this may seemed be in far distant future, yet I come to realize, that what Pope John Paul the Great has started, was just manifestation that if ever Christian unity, comes about, it would not be a human achievement but a gift of God. For this reason we must keep the primary emphasis on spiritual ecumenism and prayer. The most efficient ecumenism is that which nurture fortitude, humility, and ardent belief in the Holy Spirit, who allows us to hope against hope and to leave the future in the hands of God, the God of dialogue.

Marty's Masterpiece-July
Let me first tell you the story about Marty's July Sketch…
Most of you know that my dad passed away at the end of November after a two month battle with brain cancer. Marty's dad passed almost 11 years ago. Father's Day for us was bittersweet-bitter for the obvious reasons, sweet because it was Marty's 40th birthday. (ironic, eh?!) Since Father's Day, this white bird sits on a window outside of our NYC apartment around 9:15pm every night. That little bird remains there all night long and by morning he is gone. It is not often that you see an all-white bird in NYC. My friend Corris has lived here all her life and said that she doesn't remember seeing any. This sketch is out of love for that little bird of peace…hope you enjoy the design team's creations!

The white bird really inspires me. I wanted to keep with a very clean, simple color palette for this card so used creamy white colors. I had that resin bird in my stash for quite some time and this project seemed like the perfect time to use it.

The stamp is from Magenta's new collection and was stamped with black StazOn on glossy cardstock. I smooshed Distress Ink Pads onto my craft sheet (Tumbled Glass, Forest Moss, Red Rose, Pumice Stone and Spiced Marmalade) and used them with water and a small paintbrush to color the image. The image was then mounted onto black CTMH cardstock and then onto a 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ card using "Vanilla Creme" CTMH cardstock.
(Michele has a little bird outside of her window, too)—And, for your "enjoyment", I also included a picture of the little bird on my window sill. She's BACK! And sitting on the same eggs…

A Whole New Outlook – I have been drawing a lot lately, I have always wanted to draw more but never plucked up the courage or had the mind space til now, so this is one of the first face that I drew that just seemed to fit perfect in that setting of the windows against the building. She's not trapped by any means she is just looking at a whole new outlook which is what drawing has done for me. I have used some text paper inked in the background, brown stazon for the Tando brick background stamp which is the first thing I thought of when I saw Marty's sketch this month. The window frames are lollipop (popsicle) sticks, inks, painted and distressed. I even had a go a drawing the little birdie myself !!!! Another great sketch Marty.

What I got from Marty's inspiration this month was the images of brick, which are man made in contrast to the bird which is nature. Bricks have straight lines and hard material in comparison to the curve lines of the bird and soft feathers. I had some crochet flowers that I had made earlier this year in my stash and embellished them with silver grey sequins. The crochet flower centers are from Melody Ross. Pink flowers are tissue paper that I hand molded and Glimmer misted. The centers are frayed fibers from canvas wall hanging. Paper cutouts, leaves are from the Mariposa collection. Text border is Melody Ross. My mom had gave me a zip lock bag of miscellaneous jewelry pieces which I wanted to put on a project instead of just laying in a drawer. Little details of contrast were the pink eraser dowels for the top and a little wooden clothes pin at the earring trim bottom edging. This will probably an on going project as I find other small and sentimental pieces of jewelry to attach to the canvas wall hanging.

I really liked Marty's sketch and thought of creating a design very similar to the actual sketch (bricks and a window) but ended up with this design. I have vintage on my mind a lot lately so I used my scallop punch in the center of the top and bottom and threaded a piece of 'First Edition' dictionary picture through it. I added a black daisy made with the daisy Big Shot die and added some Very Vanilla Seam Binding and an antique brad. Thanks for looking!

This card feature's Stampin' Up in color Poppy Parade card stock and Designer Series Paper and the fabulous Herb Expressions stamp set. A little white ribbon and flower for accent. The Designer Series paper reminds me of a vintage wallpaper in a victorian home. I love the simple lines of this card. Enjoy!

i have had them for a few years with liability on my corolla. i am in my 30's with no accidents or tickets in at least 10 years.excellent credit too. i chose them a few years ago because of how cheap the insurance was and their customer service was very good as well. my car is parked in a garage and not even being driven that often due to winter. the neighborhood is decent too. i paid for the 6 months of full coverage and three months into it i get this bullshit in the mail.
the gist of the letter was a routine policy review determined they are not able to renew the 2010 Nissan. they regret to inform me that this is a vehicle they don't normally insure. REALLY? some of the characteristics of a vehicle deemed unacceptable are high performance characteristics , ect ect.
I can't believe this shit. i have never had a nice car in my life and this comes as a complete surprise, especially considering my driving history and business with the company. i was suppose me to make a "hey finally got my dream car thread" and these greedy pricks send me this bullshit. an insurance company who doesn't want to pay for something in case something bad happens. who would have thought huh? i mean of course i can take my business somewhere else, but i liked them up until they insult me with this. i remember state farm and Allstate wanted like 230 a month and geico was charging me like 90 because i still have my corolla as a second vehicle. now I'm thinking i am going to get boned trying to insure somewhere else.
this does not seem fair. are you telling my that in the city of Chicago geico cancels policy's for benz bmw Bentley ect lol? any help would be appreciated. I'm not even going to call the number yet.

Target: Apple CEO Tim Cook
Goal: Commend Apple for implementing solar panels at new data center
Apple plans to build an additional farm of solar panels for its new data center in Reno, Nevada. This will mark its third solar panel farm in development, after its two in North Carolina. As the number one company in the world, Apple should be applauded for its commitment to switch to cleaner energy.
Partnering with NV Energy, a Nevada utility, and SunPower, the solar farm would use a new type of technology that implements mirrors along with the solar panels. This will allow an increase in the amount of power generated by the system. Ultimately, each of the solar farms will produce between 18 to 20 MW of power, an amount that is very large for an independent company.
The Reno location will be 137 acres and create approximately 100 jobs during construction. The completed solar farm will generate around 43.5 million kilowatt hours of energy, which will save enough energy as would be used by 6,400 vehicles. Apple was quick to be one of the first to utilize Nevada's new green tariff, which would allow it to pay for the cost of building the solar panel farm itself.
Apple, at least in regards to its data centers, plans to use 100 percent clean energy over time. It plans on accomplishing this through buying energy from clean power providers, using direct clean energy generation, and buying credits for renewable energy.
By signing the petition below, you will demonstrate your appreciation towards Apple for beginning to implement a large clean energy program. As a leading global company, it is fulfilling its responsibility to be a good example for other organizations.
Dear Mr. Cook,
I am writing this letter to commend you for the implementation of solar panel farms at your data centers. As a leading global company, Apple has a responsibility to show a good example in pursuing clean energy initiatives; these solar panels are an excellent start. I fully support and hope you fulfill your goals of relying on 100 percent clean energy with all of your data centers in the future.
Your partnership with NV Energy shows your commitment to working with state governments in creating these clean energy systems; on top of this, you were one of the first companies to utilize Nevada's new green tariff. The use of new technology that involves using mirrors next to the solar panels is an excellent way to help increase the amount of power generated through the system. Generating 18 to 20 MW of power is an impressive amount for an independent company.
Thank you again for implementing these solar panel farms. The completed system in Reno, Nevada will generate around 43.5 million kilowatt hours of energy; this is enough to save as much energy as would be used by 6,400 vehicles; such a difference is a great model for other companies to follow.

text: Everytime I bake bread, whether that be sour dough or banana bread my bread falls. I have an oven thermometer, and I'm pretty sure the temperature drops quite a bit before the oven reheats during baking. Also, sometimes the temperature is off by 25 degrees or so (not consistently too high or too low). I just made banana bread yesterday (pretty standard recipe) and baked it at 350 for 45 min. The outside of the bread was dark brown, but the middle was completely uncooked so I left it in for another 15 min and put a cookie sheet on the top rack so the bread wouldn't burn on top. When I was letting the loaf cool, it sunk in the middle about 2 1/2 inches, leaving a gooey mess in the bottom of the loaf pan. BTW, I usually use a doughmakers loaf plan. Any thoughts/advice would be greatly appreciated!

Okay guys a little bit of an update here. I have put on about 300 or so miles and fuel mileage seems to be holding constant. No significant changes in gas mileage on my Eco. I also have to say the tires as they are starting to be used more are quieting down quite a bit and the ride is quite comfortable but I also have a feeling of immense control. My car feels super responsive and very grippy on the road.

I'm glad the kid in the car stopped.
This is a discussion on Saw man crossing pull a gun against a car within the Carry & Defensive Scenarios forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; So i was walking across to Publix from the parking lot and this old man was trying cross the road ahead of me into Publix ...
So i was walking across to Publix from the parking lot and this old man was trying cross the road ahead of me into Publix and this young guy in a car was driving fast apparently didn't want to let the old guy go through, and just out of nowhere saw the man pull out a pistol against the car and told him to stop and the young car def stopped the car in no time. Me and couple of other
shoppers saw it. Just curious what you guys would say about this?
Proudly living in the free state of Florida
I'm glad the kid in the car stopped.

I would say that wasn't smart or legal on that guy's part.
I have a very strict gun control policy: if there's a gun around, I want to be in control of it.

Arrest the old guy on brandishing, take away his firearm, take away his concealed permit if he has one--probably take away his car if he has one--sounds like he is a bit senile--let him keep his dentures.
So how many rounds did he fire? Did he get good windshield penetration? Should he have used a different caliber? What? He didn't shoot? I thought we were to never pull our guns unless we intended to use them. The old guy probably was filled with the holiday spirit and was trying to be nice, so he didn't shoot. That's the true Christmas spirit, something our younger generation is missing.

Sounds like brandishing prevent an assault with a vehicle, eh?
You didn't say where in Fl. BUT if its south Fl. i can understand. There are some real idiots driving down there.
And it's irresponsible Ding Dongs like this man that give us Law Abiding Citizens/Gun Owners a bad Rap! I don't know the situation but if your information is correct I would of turned this individual in, Period. We as Responsible Gun Owners should not tolerate this type of behavior at all because this is what the Anti-Gunners love to get a hold of to further their AGENDA!
The old guy may not have been correct but at least he is still alive and not run over by some young punk kid....
Wait, guns aren't a good replacement for traffic signals?
Tell that to this guy:
In Europe no less.
He obviously was either a criminal or a very high up the chain military/political figure.
In either case, cops called.
Happened to my sister & family this summer.
BIL driving, my sister and 3 kids.
Dummy cuts my BIL off very close and almost causes an accident, BIL beeps horn prior to a possible impact, then changes lanes a few seconds later, then the guy flashes/points a pistol at them.
They call the police, cops pull the guy over at the exit he got off at in Chesterfield MI. and they are watching him get busted.
The police come over to my sisters truck, and asks if they saw the gun, they say yes, 13 YO nephew says he saw it real good,, black with SS slide I believe, "probably a 9mm" the nephew says.
The police search guys truck and find it.
Cops were amazed nephew was able to describe it down to the caliber.
I would rather die with good men than hide with cowards

Sounds like he was Old Schoolin' there............
We need to all stop protecting idiots that do the wrong thing with guns. Some folks int his forum go to great extents to not speak out when a firearm is brandished or used improperly. We seem to defend folks that are stupis enough to go to NYC or board a plane with a firearm and chalkk it up to "we all make mistakes". Some of these are idiotic mistakes. If one can make a simple stupid mistake and we stick up for them time and time again you all wonder why anti's think we are irresponsible.
The fact a very small minority of gun owners are stupid and irresponsible....but we try to give them the benefit of the doubt when they screw up. Most likely because we emphathize with them or disagree with a stupid law.
Just like the idiot lady that pulled a gun on the kids bullying her daughter/son last week. Gun orgs need to step up and condem these folks in front of the media (of course after establishing the facts) to show that we are serious about folks being prosecuted.
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?
And I said, Here am I. Send me!

Ratings for Dr. Louis A. Stabile
My experience with Dr. Stabile was excellent in all ways. The left hip surgery went well as did my recovery. He is a very straightforward person and will answer all your questions before and after the surgery. It is important for anyone undergoing orthopedic surgery that you follow your doctor and physical therapists instructions. The doc is responsible for your surgery but you are responsible for your recovery. You must walk and exercise for the remainder of your life. And that weight you released post surgery must be maintained. I highly recommend Dr. Stabile.
Kind & takes his time with patients. Staff terrific
Dr. Stabile has an awful 'bedside manner', ( opinion is exhibited a 'fattest' & misogynist attitude) was disdainful and completely unhelpful , was very unprofessional & broke his oath of ,"First Do No Harm". Avoid this Dr. at all costs. I know my wife, ( who is a nationally renowned Chef and relieves herself of more talent each am than Dr. Stabile possesses will never see him again.) Other than that Dr. Stabile was just Jake! Remember America , as with all professions CHOPS vary between Dr's some are talented & suited to medicine some are just CHOPLESS /Arrogant/Ignorant people. Patient Beware
Very unhappy with my experience. He was late for the surgery, did not review the MRI prior to surgery, my knee 'popped' a week after surgery he told me it would get better over time, it hasn't and I will be going for another opinion and review. His staff did not provide the correct information about insurance coverage. I do not recommend him at all.
Great for knee replacement and,follow-up. I was having excruciating knee pain, and Dr. stabile operated 2weeks after my initial consiltation. He visited me each day I was in the hospital. I will need hip replacement in the future , and will definitely have Dr. Stabile do it
I would highly recommend Dr. Stabile to anyone requiring hip replacement surgery. While researching the subject, I attended several seminars put on by Stryker and heard Dr. Stabile's presentation - I chose him as my surgeon because of his extensive experience with the minimally invasive anterior approach method. After coping well for 7 years with my osteo-arthritic hip, I went for a consult in early 2013. As a Canadian who'd be paying out of pocket, I was stunned ( as well as impressed) when he turned me down as a candidate for surgery as I had "NO PAIN"!!! A year later, when the pain came, it was excruciating. This time, I met the criteria and had the procedure done within 5 days of my consult. The surgery lasted an hour and a half and the pain was gone instantaneously! In 21/2 weeks I was good as new. Dr. Stabile has a quirky sense of humor that appealed to me but may not be to every one's liking. He was attentive and caring and patiently addressed all my questions and concerns.
Was more interested in watching the Masters than caring for his patient. Bad communication and extremely bad attitude. Will follow up with hospital. He is a bad representative of Desert Memorial.
Dr. Stabile has performed three surgeries for the orthopaedic problems I have had, from 2009 to 2011. He is very caring and compassionate toward his patients; making sure everything possible is done to ensure that post-opp pain is as minimal as possible, and that his patient is as comfortable as possible. Dr. Stabile gives priority to the needs of his patients over whether or not he performs the surgical procedure. I have an orthopaedic condition that requires a procedure that Dr. Stabile does not specialize in, so he's referring me to an orthopaedic surgeon who DOES specialize in it. I recommend Dr. Stabile as one's first and best choice when in need of orthopaedic care.
Though an excellent surgeon, sometimes it is difficult to get to speak with someone, as the office is large and everyone wants to transfer you to voice mail. When you leave a message, sometimes you get a call back, sometimes you don't. Dr. Stabile did knee surgery on my knee. After more than two months (and several visits to his office and the emergency room), some fluid was taken from the knee. I was immediately sent to the emergency room and admitted to the hospital. The site had become infected. The next day I had another surgery. I keep asking about the infection and keep being told the infection has not been determined. Either someone is trying to keep the type of infection from me or I have a unique infection...and I seriously doubt the latter. I spent 8 days in the hospital due to the infection and then 30 days at home with IV therapy. Though I feel Dr. Stabile is a very qualified doctor, I think his ego got in the way when the infection appeared.

Oh and while I'm against Chinese HIDs, I'm not so against not retrofitting the auto leveling system. It does not adjust very quickly at all (takes a few seconds before it decides to change). Over bumps and such, an auto leveling car and a fixed level car will cause the same scatter. The only thing auto leveling allows is for you to load up a ton of weight and not have to worry about reaiming the light.
Also, unlike Europe, it is not a legal requirement here to have auto leveling for HID systems.
In my experience and observation, the dynamic leveling system in our cars work extremely well and work on an active basis. Try this: At night point your car against a wall (at pretty much any distance) with the headlights on and open your trunk. Push down on the back of the car and watch the headlights compensate. It happens pretty quickly. You don't want it to happen TOO quickly as you wouldn't want the headlights flickering over every bump. I think (in not so techy terms) takes an average and considers other factors as well. All in all, I think it does a great job.
Ken Rockwell's observations:
Automatic Dynamic Range and Height Adjustment
This is the magic part about the real BMW xenon headlights. They impressed the dickens out of me on my first night drive. I'm used to lights dipping as I brake and rising as I hammer it. These automatically and dynamically adjust the lights as you drive!
The BMW xenon lights continuously adjust themselves as you drive. As you put more or less in the trunk, step on the gas or brake or drive up or down hills in normal cars the lights go up and down, and half the time would blind oncoming drivers. If you load up the trunk in a normal car or every time you step on the gas the car points up a little and points the lights up. In the BMW 540 the xenon lights automatically self adjust, and if you're paying attention as I do you'll see them moving up and down to compensate every moment as you drive. This is also why it's illegal to jam a xenon conversion bulb into a regular headlight: the xenon is so much brighter that it's a safety hazard if it doesn't continually adjust itself. This is why the xenon headlight assemblies on the BMW cost about $1,000 each.
The adjustment considers acceleration, braking and suspension positions.
It also considers road speed so it knows how to interpret suspension movement.
That last tidbit is pretty interesting

Jared is a 47-year-old man and he's a sexy bugger. This hot daddy calls Southern California home. He's a good-looking man with some sexy face scruff and a rock solid body. He's got a friendly smile and beautiful ocean-blue eyes. But let's get back to that cock of his. I love wrapping my lips around a mushroom cock, sliding my lips and tongue around the sensitive crown. And the hot thing about sucking a mushroom head cock is feeling the bulbous cock head growing and plumping up in your mouth. And when you flip this daddy over, you'll find a wonderfully beefy and smooth butt. And those thighs - fuck they're strong and thick.

I am currently having problems with my 2002 Chevy Tahoe with a lean bank 2 code, P0174/P0171. I have cleaned the MAF sensor, changed the fuel filter, regulator and fuel pump/module because the fuel pressure was very low. Now, my fuel pressure is reading the proper 60 psi as required by the maintenance manual. I have checked all the vacuum lines and hoses to include intake gaskets as other forums have suggested-no leaks were noted. The vehicle now starts and runs great; but, every-now-and-then it does not want to start. The check engine light does not come back on but I am still having the intermittent starting problem. What else could this be before I start looking at fuel injectors?

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52
How the heck am I supposed to do this? We have no access to install any components on our server. The servers are Windows 2003.
I would need something that would grab the latest XML every 5 minutes and then parse it to something for our website.
I have no knowledge of any of this, so any help is appreciated.
If so then it is a pretty simple process of coding (Simple is a relative term remember:) ) an application to do the following.
Log onto the news server
grab the latest messages
parse the NewsML
squirt it into your pages
The specifics of which will depend on your exact requirements.
The sensible language for you to use, as you are on a Windows server, is ASP or .Net, but I have no experience of those. Personally I would code it in Perl where 90% of the modules you would need already exist.
I hope this help rather than confuses
It's XML/RDF based and handles all the XML, NewsML news feeds etc.

As we informed you, Big Red is no longer accepting pre-sale orders for its iPhone 4. That's a sad news for these of you who are eager to taste this much-anticipated version of the iPhone, but didn't manage to order one between 3AM and 5AM. Anyway, February 9 is just around the corner, but we are sure it simply can't come fast enough for you.
It took Verizon 3.5 years to bring the iPhone to its customers, but their patience was finally rewarded. Did you manage to get one?

What our Citizens are saying about this great gift of the leaf...
Caramel apple red tea
Perfect for a cool night right before bed because it's caffeine free!
It had very familiar flavors and I finally realized it reminded me of an old-fashioned cherry vanilla Coke. Which isn't a bad thing at all for someone trying to reduce their soda intake! Hope this one stays around year-round.
What a surprise
This tea is delicious.
Caramel Apple is delicious!
I first purchased the caramel apple tea because it was caramel apple time and I love caramel. This tea did not let me down. I love it! I will purchase it again and again.
Love this seasonal favorite
I love the way the rooibos tea is paired with slight apple and caramel flavor. A great seasonal tea.
