Shorecrest 42, St. Stephen's 27: St. Stephen's (0-5) jumped off to a 13-0 lead in the first quarter. But the defense couldn't stop Shorecrest, which put up 35 unanswered points to take a 35-13 lead late into the third quarter.
Shorecrest scored 21 points in less than eight minutes. The onslaught began when Alex Drexler scored the first of his four touchdowns on a 9-yard run.
The fumbles continued for St. Stephen's in the second half. The Falcons coughed up the ball on their first possession. One play later, Drexler broke free for 65 yards for his third touchdown. He scored his final TD on a 26-yard run for a 35-13 lead with 2:08 left in the third quarter.
Drexler finished with 153 yards rushing on seven carries. He was the spearhead of a Charger ground game that rolled up 371 yards,. Garrett Schulte pounded the Falcons with 87 tough yards on 14 carries.

Life in the Olympic Village
Page Tools
For Simon Tolstrup, the Games have come home - literally.
Last night the hopes of Australia were crushed by the might of the Mexican hockey team. Thankfully, no one will hear about this devastating defeat outside a small circle of fanatics and interested onlookers.
It all started a couple of weeks back when I moved into a new house. When I say new, I mean different. This place certainly couldn't be mistaken as having modern architecture or, say, plumbing.
We thought that living in spartan conditions would give us some insight into the lives of the athletes at the first Olympics, and thus help us to better understand the modern Games. We ate a lot of melitzanosalata. We tried the Zorba dance.
My housemate walked around naked, although in fairness this was mostly because he doesn't like doing laundry.
Ready for the Games to begin, we rose at an un-Greek-Godly hour to watch the opening ceremony, only to be met by a screen full of static. Clutching the remote control like a Roman ring, we realised that unless there was a blizzard in Athens, our TV reception had been knocked out.
Terrible news! Like most young blokes sharing a house, we don't have a lot of money, and certainly not enough to get Mr Antenna to fix our aerial.
Desperate attempts with a coat hanger proved futile, and we came to the conclusion that our TV would be out of action until pay-day which, cruelly, is at the end of the month. In a gesture of mourning, my housemate draped a tablecloth over the screen.
We grieved most of Saturday with some Ouzo.
Then it was time to rebuild. In a moment of triumph we declared that if we couldn't watch the Athens Games, we would have our own.
Unfortunately our weather isn't on par with Athens, so most of the events had to be held indoors. The athletics featured the 7 metre sprint, the 6.5 metre hurdles, and the stairwell steeplechase.
The swimming events were difficult and required a fair bit of cleaning up, but the diving was spectacular if dangerous. I thought I'd won with a triple sideways roll in foetal position, but was beaten by Naked Housemate's two-and-a-half tumble with pike down the stairs. Rhythmic gymnastics was funny until we realised the neighbours were watching, and our Sunday night activities started out at horizontal bars but ended in uneven ones.
Then came the final of the hockey. In retrospect, using a real ball wasn't one of our best ideas, but placing mattresses over the windows certainly was. I won the toss and elected to be Australia, dubbed Naked Housemate "Mexico" and made him put some pants on.
I was odds-on favourite, being sober, but lost concentration at a critical moment and handled a very fast moving ball. My hand and the hopes of a nation were crushed like plates at a Greek wedding.
Tomorrow we will have our closing ceremony. I am anticipating that this will be named the Best Olympics Ever.

text: by Teresa Jurgens-Kowal Oct 19, 2010 Comments (3) AIChE Topics: Finance Share This Post: 1/8 in the series Talking to Your Bo$$—The Economics of EngineeringFirst Things First Thanks for taking time out of your busy day to read my very first blog post on ChEnected. I have a diverse ChE educational background from working as an environmental engineering intern at a nuclear site to studying surface science and semiconductors for my graduate thesis. After school, I worked in a traditional petrochemical plant developing filtration systems and modeling kinetic processes. Then I moved into a series of supervisory and managerial positions before launching a successful start-up company specializing in strategic innovation coaching, consulting, and training. I call innovation and new product development learning a "mini-MBA". So, I hope that sharing this breadth of experience as a chemical engineer will help you increase your effectiveness as you advance your career along either a technical or managerial path. I'm anxious to learn what you face as your biggest challenges, so please post your feedback or questions in the comments section. I'm especially interested in helping technical teams to communicate better with all levels of management. With lots and lots of business topics open for discussion, we'll first focus on Engineering Economics. Later, we can add items of interest, worksheets, tutorials, and whatever else fits your needs. Let's get started on this exciting journey! Part I - Introduction Have you ever noticed that your boss uses a lot of phrases like the following? How much will it cost? What will our savings be? Show me the cost/benefit analysis. What is the budget for that project? Yes, I know that your project has some really awesome technology and that you've got armloads of data sliced, diced, and statistically analyzed to the nth degree. You've sketched PFDs (Process Flow Diagrams) and created both kinetic AND thermodynamic models. But, there he sits across the desk, daring to ask seemingly trivial MONEY questions! Aha! The silver lining in this cloud is that your boss completely and wholeheartedly endorses your technical abilities. After all, that's why you spent 4 or 5 years in college and that's good news! On the flip side, companies indeed do need to make money to buy supplies, to purchase raw materials, to produce advertising campaigns, to pay taxes, to pay your salary, and to invest in your project. Therefore, money is important. With a chemical engineering education, you will find that economic calculations are simple and intuitive. Let's take a quick look at some of the "numbers" we'll be covering in this blog series. Part I - Introduction (here) Part II - Time Value of Money Part III - Financial Statements Part IV - Operating Costs Part V - Inventory Part VI - Taxes As an extra bonus, understanding simple financial calculations so you can actually talk to your boss, will also help you understand investing in your personal portfolio allowing you to more fully pursue your dreams of owning a house, putting the kids through college, and a healthy retirement. How do you convince your bo$$ that your project has value today? Log in to post comments Comments Rich Byrnes (not verified) Oct 19, 2010 Teresa, Your post is key, proper economic evaluation of ideas is vital to the success of any business. With streamlined staffs and ever decreasing budgets, discerning how to find the "right stuff" to work on is critical, only sound economic evaluation can accomplish this task. The toughest job for me as a "Bo$$" is not being able to fund all the great ideas our engineers present to us, therefore I must make sure the ideas that are funded will provide the stated benefits opposite our corporate goals. We look forward to additional posts. Rich Robert S (not verified) Oct 20, 2010 Looking forward to the next installments. My position deals mostly with the part where we make it happen, it is always good to learn more about the upstream work - other than "make it happen for less money and faster!". jvasko (not verified) Oct 27, 2010 Thanks Rich for your insightful comment.

The cheerleaders of today's Geek Nation have managed to nudge gullible studio bosses into bankrolling flops like John Carter, but apparently, their work is not yet done. Director Gavin Hood's adaptation of Orson Scott Card's popular, Hugo-winning 1985 sci-fi novel is yet another intriguing, complex and strangely unlikable big-budget experiment destined to thrill the book's legion of fans—and confuse the rest of us.
The first half is crammed with ideas, as a near-future Earth has been invaded by insectlike aliens called Formics, and a 12-year-old strategic prodigy, Ender Wiggin (Hugo's Asa Butterfield), is handpicked by Colonel Graff (Harrison Ford) to lead our species's military in the war against the evil extraterrestrials. The cast seems to be having fun, especially the wonderfully frosty Butterfield and Ford in gruff, enjoyably combative mode (what Ben Kingsley is doing as a Maori warrior with the weirdest accent imaginable is anyone's guess). Then the actual human-versus-space-bugs war begins, and everything falters toward an unconvincingly upbeat coda. The film's suggestion that violence influences and inspires children is both timely and provocative, but Hollywood, please: Stop blindly pandering to the YA and Comic Con crowds.

Thriller "Taken" snatches box office crown
By Bob Tourtellotte
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Thriller "Taken," starring Liam Neeson as a former spy who must rescue his daughter from modern-day slave traders, snatched the No. 1 spot at North American box offices over the weekend, according to studio estimates on Sunday.
"Taken" grabbed $24.6 million in just under 3,200 theaters, for an average of about $7,700 per theater, and it played to a mix of men and women, said a spokesman for its distributor, 20th Century Fox. Fox is a unit of News Corp..
With the media's spotlight on professional football's Super Bowl, overall weekend ticket sales of $103 million for the top 12 films were off 20 percent from the last weekend, and only slightly ahead of the same weekend last year, according to box office tracker Media by Numbers.
Still, January proved to be a record month in theaters with a total box office haul of more than $1 billion for the first time ever, said Media by Numbers president Paul Dergarabedian.
One big reason has been the surprise success of Columbia Pictures' comedy "Paul Blart: Mall Cop," which slipped to the No. 2 spot after two straight weeks at No. 1. The movie starring comic actor Kevin James took in $14 million over the weekend, boosting its three-week total to $83.4 million.
Columbia Pictures said "Paul Blart" was well on its way to passing the $100 million mark at box offices as it continues to play well to audiences looking for laughter. Columbia is a unit of Sony Corp's Sony Pictures Entertainment.
Landing in the No. 3 spot was the new supernatural thriller "The Uninvited" with $10.5 million. It was released by Paramount Pictures, a unit of Viacom Inc..
The other fresh entry in theaters was romantic comedy "New In Town" starring Renee Zellweger and Harry Connick, Jr. But it failed to ignite much of a flame with movie fans, coming in at No. 8 with only $6.8 million. It was released by Lionsgate Entertainment. Continued...

Degrees and Certifications:
The School District has repositioned itself to be of greater service to its students and a continuing light into the fifteen communities that make up Thornton Township High School District 205.
Our School Board has provided the charge as a result of their Strategic Planning. Last fall, the School Board listened to the concerns of the people who attended a series of neighborhood/community meetings held at each of our three high schools. The School Board developed five goals as a result of hearing the various community concerns about our schools and the education of our students:
These strategic goals will guide the district administration and staff toward the ultimate goal of making "Students First!!!" The goals are functional, observable and will hold all accountable in the service to our youth.
We will make sure that every classroom, every day has a teacher who is concerned about your child's education. Students will be academically challenged within a safe and orderly learning environment. The District has invested in new technologies that will update our equipment and usage needs and enhance teachers' abilities to frequently monitor student progress. Teachers will be better able to let student work inform their instructional planning and differentiate instruction (student specific) based on student needs in a more timely manner. There are high expectations for teachers and students to ensure that every student fulfills his/her need for success in their school environment on a daily basis.
We are generally excited about our comprehensive course offerings for our students programmatically and through our Common Core Curriculum. District 205 is providing world-class experiences for our soon-to-be world-class citizens, your children! You are encouraged to join us as we develop the engaging minds of your children and transform the status quo!!!
The district's five goals as developed by our School Board have provided a means for future direction and monitoring current work with your children. This process of input and output will keep expectations high for teachers and students as well as continue to grow our District while strengthening our community!!!
For current information and news on "Our Schools", refer to the District website at www.district205.net

Announcing the BTBA Poetry Finalists!
John Felstiner said translation is like a window. It lets some fresh air in and allows some stale air to drift out. Here are six books of poetry from around the world that offer some of the freshest air possible into American poetry. The Best Translated Book Awards was started by Chad Post, editor of Open Letter and founder of the blog Three Percent. This was my fifth year serving on the committee of judges for this award and every year I have been astounded by the lyricism and innovative approaches to translation and poetry we've found in the books nominated for the prize. If you are looking for a book of poetry to take the top of your head off, you couldn't go wrong with one of the finalists on this list. A discussion of these astounding books will appear on Three Percent next week and the winner of this year's award will be announced at the PEN World Voices Festival in May:
2013 Best Translated Book Award: Poetry Finalists
Transfer Fat by Aase Berg, translated from the Swedish by Johannes Göransson (Ugly Duckling Press; Sweden).
pH Neutral History by Lidija Dimkovska, translated from the Macedonian by Ljubica Arsovska and Peggy Reid (Copper Canyon Press; Macedonia).
The Invention of Glass by Emmanuel Hocquard, translated from the French by Cole Swensen and Rod Smith (Canarium Books; France).
Wheel with a Single Spoke by Nichita Stanescu, translated from the Romanian by Sean Cotter (Archipelago Books; Romania).
Notes on the Mosquito by Xi Chuan, translated from the Chinese by Lucas Klein (New Directions; China).
Almost 1 Book / Almost 1 Life by Elfriede Czurda, translated from the German by Rosmarie Waldrop (Burning Deck; Austria).
The other judges for this year's award were Brandon Holmquest, poet, translator, editor of CALQUE; Jennifer Kronovet, poet and translator; John Marshall, owner, Open Books: A Poem Emporium; Erica Mena-Landry, poet and translator; Kevin Prufer, poet, academic, essayist, and co-editor of New European Poets; and Russell Valentino, translator, director of Autumn Hill Books and The Iowa Review.

Thread: Ideas for a day trip to Boston?
Ideas for a day trip to Boston?
We are going to NH for vacation in June and want to take a day trip to Boston. I would like to take a walking tour along the Freedom Trail, but how can you tell what a good company is? There are so many and the prices vary widely. Also, what else would be good for a family of 6? Are there any lighthouses to visit? Thanks!

There is a tourist info place downtown near the Old State House.... you can get all kinds of free information there, including pamphlets that will let you take a self-guided tour. The "trail" is marked with red paint and bricks on the sidewalks. It is very easy to follow.

Ah, just noticed they are moving to Faneuil Hall, about a block away, "The National Park Service visitor center at 15 State Street will close its doors on Monday, May 21, 2012 to be replaced by a new, state-of-the-art, visitor center opening in historic Faneuil Hall on Friday, May 25, 2012.

My kids always like going to Faneuil Hall. One of my favorites is the USS Constitution. I loved going on the Swan Boats in the Boston Garden when I was a child. They also have Duck Tours now. Boston is fun and so full of history!
Not sure about lighthouses. I live in Maine and grew up looking out my window at a lighthouse. I live about 2 miles from it now.05-10-2012, 03:34 PM #6

I would say, consider parking at an outlying train station and take the train and then the subway to get around. I bet your kids will like that. Parking is miserable in Boston, as is driving.
Swan boats, yes!! Constitution (old Ironsides) yes!!,
What are your kids interested in? There is a good science museum.05-10-2012, 06:00 PM #7
By the time you pay to park at a train station outside the city and pay for six people to ride the T you might as well park in the city. We usually park at--I think its--South street parking garage right under Boston Common. We have taken the walking freedom trail tour with the people at the visitor center at Boston Common (sorry I don't know the name) and they were excellent. They dress in period costumes and stay in character during the tour. They take you as far as Paul Revere's house. You MUST go to the North End and have cannoli's from Mikes Pastry (they only take cash--no debit or credit cards). Also, as previously suggested USS Constitution, Fanieul Hall, Bunker Hill, swan boats in the garden, ride the T for fun, if you kids are little bring swim suits and let them play in the frog pond. You sometimes have to book way in advance for the duck boat tours so if you think you want to do that I suggest booking now. Also there is a great childrens museum. Dicks Last Resort just behind Fanieul Hall is a fun place to eat as is the Cheers bar. It will be fun no matter what. My husband was born in Quincy MA and we have family all over MA and in NH. We love Boston!!05-10-2012, 09:44 PM #8

All great ideas! The swan boats sound good, definitely Fanieul Hall and Boston Gardens looks good too. I wish we had more than 1 day! I need to do some research to see how much stuff we can cram into one day. Thanks for the tip on Mike's Pastry, a sweet reward at the end of a long, hot walk will be just what the kids need to look forward to.
We had planned to take the train in. The kids would like it best and we really want to avoid driving in Boston. We went for a day on our honeymoon and because we were staying late for a Red Sox games we had to head straight in and park, then later park again at the game. We paid $60 or so in parking that day - and that was 16 years ago!05-12-2012, 10:53 AM #10
You will have fun no matter what! You can cram a lot into one day. We've always gone for one day at a time--four different times :-) Parking at most the city garages is $20 for the whole day. The only ones that are more are private garages. Riding the train in will be fun!!08-27-2012, 07:20 AM #11
Boston is the best place for family fun in Massachusetts! Mass Vacation's website is a really comprehensive resource for anyone looking for things to do in Boston. Most states have tourism websites like it and whenever I travel I search for these types of websites to plan my itinerary.

Roncador Cay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Roncador Cay is a small island of the Roncador Bank, located in the west Caribbean Sea, off the coast of Central America, 150 kilometres (93 miles) east-northeast of Providencia Island.
The USS Kearsarge ran aground on a reef off the cay on February 2, 1894, and, being deemed unsalvageable, was declared lost by the United States Navy.
Colombia and the United States have claimed the cay but the United States abandoned its claim in a 1972 treaty.

Hello all,
I just ordered my first Subaru. I purchased the 2011 Limited WRX. My sales rep told me that the car would arrive between 4-8 weeks. How long did you all have to wait to get yours? The anticipation is killing me. I cant wait to be behind the wheel of my new Subie.

Hello everyone,
Recently I've been trying to properly adjust the geometry and alignment of my Sony Trinitron PVM20L2 Monitor. I've used multiple cross hatch patterns to align my monitor as best I can, but I've been struggling for some time now to get it look "just right" and have unsuccessfully been able to reach the correct settings with the service menu.
As it stands right now, the picture fills the entire screen and looks decent, but there is a slight horizontal tilting near the top part of the screen that causes some images to look like they are rising up at an angle from left to right – almost like an incline of a hill. In addition to that, the overall alignment and geometry doesn't quite look "right". I have spent hours tweaking the settings to find a balance of proper display to my liking, but no matter what I try, there always seems to be some kind of issue.
I thought I would try posting here to see if any experts could help me. I'm wondering if anyone else has this specific monitor and has found the optimal values to make the image look properly aligned and "correct".
I will post my current settings in hopes that it might highlight any possible issues.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I was wondering if, for example, I get a website PSD template accepted for sale, and then make a functional HTML website after it, is there a chance that the HTML version will be rejected, or vice-versa?
Assuming, of course, that it uses clean and valid code.
I"m asking because I saw some posts saying the PSD Template category has very high standards.
Yes there is a possibility the other versions will be rejected. Each category has it's own standards so getting an item accepted in one does not guarantee the same design will be accepted in another.
Ok, thanks for clarifying.
PSD category is the hardest one to get accepted to so design-wise if your theme has been accepted into PSD it should be accepted to HTML and WP categories. The thing is that in PSD and WP review process there is very important factor of quality coding, so if your theme has the same design as PSD template previously accepted but lacks quality code it can still be rejected.
Thanks for the help.

You wanted this class in the Southeast and here it is..... with a BONUS lecturer!
Trey Hudson, who some of you know from his counter terrorism lectures at the Warriortalk Symposiums and the Warrior Skills camp will be a guest lecturer on topics of history of terrorism, personal security measures and counter terrorism! Notice the Saturday schedule runs a little longer than normal to fit in the added material.
Trey currently works as a Security Specialist with a government agency and in 2009 he returned from an assignment as a Force Protection/Anti-terrorism Officer in Afghanistan. He has extensive specialized training and experience in the areas of special security of WMD, combating terrorism, intelligence analysis in anti-terrorism applications, all-source intelligence operations, force protection/anti-terrorism, OPSEC, protection of classified assets and threat/vulnerability assessments. This will be an awesome learning opportunity!
October 27-28, 2012
Chattanooga, Tennessee
Instructor: Randy Harris
Price $450
This specialized class deals with solutions to the Active Shooter or the Armed Terrorist on a suicide mission. Originally designed as a class to deal solely with the armed terrorist, in answer to student's requests, we have expanded it to also include the active shooter situation as well.
On the terrorism issue, government and local law enforcement are training for the inevitable wave of terror attacks. Historically the terrorists have not relied solely on explosives, and may just as likely utilize the tactic of an active shooter. Such situations have already occurred here in the USA as seen by the Beltway Snipers, and the shootings outside CIA headquarters several years ago.
Similarly, we hear more and more daily about non-terrorist incidents like the Tacoma Mall Shooting where an individual decided to get noticed by killing innocent people in a large public place.
Although the authorities may be prepared to respond to such events, history tells us that the first line of defense is the armed citizen. It is the man or woman who finds themselves suddenly and unexpectedly in such an event that will end the killing. Will you be ready?
These events, whether begun by a terrorist, or a deranged criminal bent on killing innocents call for new tactics and a new mindset. In the Terrorism/Active Shooter Interdiction Course© you will learn extremely aggressive CQB Interdiction Techniques utilized successfully against terrorists by armed citizens overseas. You will study the possible role of the CCW Armed Citizen in stopping such an event in its tracks. You will learn to use whatever you have at your disposal (pistol, knives, impact weapons and even your bare hands) to deanimate and neutralize a terrorist, or active shooter and stop him from killing innocents.
We will also be doing a module of instruction for familiarization with the AK-47 series of rifles and the SKS series of rifles. If you have one, bring it.
This course uses live fire, and non-live fire force on force training along with other modalities to develop the necessary aggressive fighting skills and then test them in scenarios replicating actual events. Armed Citizens are the first line of defense and the true Homeland Security. In the Al Queda video tape (which all students will view as a part of the class) the jihadists are training to attack and kill Americans at home. They are ready. Are you??
DURATION:2 days
TIME: 9AM- 8PM Saturday 9AM to 5 PM Sunday (CENTRAL TIME)
PREREQUISITES:Student must be in reasonable physical condition and have attended a Suarez International Intermediate pistol class
AMMUNITION:Approximately 250 rounds (Minimum)
YOU NEED TO BRING:Spare clothing appropriate to the weather, lunch/snacks and water (minimum of 1 gallon per person) for the entire day, baseball or other style hat, sun screen, bug repellent, allergy medication (if needed), chair (if you have a problem with sitting on the ground, note taking paper/pen/pencil and a boo boo kit (band aids, gauze pads, antiseptic wipes, antibiotic ointment and tape)
REQUIREMENTS:Pistol, carry holster, at least two magazines, and the usual range safety gear (ear and eye protection). Bring an airsoft pistol with the necessary gear (pellets, facemask, etc - all of it is available at One Source Tactical.
NOTE: Bring an adequate supply of CO2 for the airsoft. An extra magazine is important in case there is a problem with the primary.

This one is just around the corner.....
This class does not come around every day....or even every year. With several public mass shootings taking place in the last few months this class is as timely as it is ever going to be. Don't miss out on the rare opportunity to get a class like this....especially THIS class with my guest lecturer who works in the security/counter terror world.
Whether it is the active shooter angry about being fired from his job or jihadist terrorists, dealing with this problem is not the same as dealing with a criminal looking to take your wallet. This class covers many different facets of dealing with these specific threats.
Don't miss this opportunity!

Montjeu Son Sells for $3.8 Million at Goffs
A Montjeu colt out of European champion Finsceal Beo lit up the board at Kildare Paddocks Oct. 3 when selling for €2.85 million ($3,881,536 in United States funds) at the second and final session of the Goffs Orby yearling sale in Ireland.
Coolmore's M. V. Magnier acquired the bay colt, foaled March 7 in Ireland. Bloodstock agent Ross Doyle, alongside trainer Richard Hannon Jr., was the underbidder on the youngster, who was bred by Michael Ryan and offered under his Al Eile Stud banner.
The price is the highest for a yearling in the Northern Hemisphere this year and the second highest in sale history behind record-priced Authaal, a Shergar colt, who sold for €3.1 million in 1984. Jane Eyre, a Sadler's Wells filly, sold for €2.4 million in 2007.
The sale closed with 27.7% rise in aggregate and an 11.8% increase in average price.
Overall, Goffs reported 344 of 394 horses offered as sold at the two-day auction for total revenue of €34,745,500 ($47,315,456). The average price was €101,004 ($137,546), and the median was €56,500 ($76,943), down slightly at 1.7%.
The clearance rate was 87.3%, compared with 84.8% in 2012.
The Montjeu colt is one of three foals out of Finsceal Beo, Europe's champion 2-year-old filly of 2006 after winning the Prix Marcel Boussac-Grand Criterium (Fr-I) for Ryan and trainer Jim Bolger. The following season, she captured the One Thousand Guineas (Eng-I) at Newmarket, the Irish One Thousand Guineas (Ire-I) at the Curragh, and finished a close second in the French equivalent at Longchamp.
Finsceal Beo, by Mr. Greeley, is a half sister to 2010 German Two Thousand Guineas (Ger-I) winner Frozen Power. Her first two foals, 3-year-old Finsceal Flor, by Galileo, and 2-year-old Too The Stars, by Sea The Stars, are unraced. Too The Stars sold for €800,000 as a weanling at the 2011 Goffs November foal sale.
"He's a very good mover and all the lads thought he was an exceptional Montjeu," Magnier told Racing Post about the Montjeu colt. "It's plenty of money but obviously he's very well bred."
A European champion, Montjeu stood at Coolmore Stud in Ireland until his death at age 16 in March from complications of septicemia, an infection in the bloodstream.
"Montjeu has been very good to us," Magnier said. "They're not making them any more, but hopefully we'll have two exciting sons, Camelot and St Nicholas Abbey, to stand for us next year."
Also at the final session, Magnier bought a Galileo half sister to French group I winner Lord Shanakill for the sale's second highest price of €680,000 ($926,167).
Offered by Ballylinch Stud, agent, the filly was bred by Vimal and Gillian Khosla out of the unraced Theatrical mare Green Room, who has five previous foals, three starters, and two winners, including Lord Shanakill.
Green Room is a half sister to 1999 Yellow Ribbon Stakes (gr. I) winner Spanish Fern from the family of Irish classic winner Al Bahathri, U.S. grade I winner and sire Heatseeker , U.S. grade II winner Geraldine's Store, and French group I winner Hearts of Fire.
Magnier was the sale's leading buyer by aggregate and average price, with five horses bought for €4,545,000 ($6,189,343), an average of €909,000 ($1,237,913). His purchases include the first session's second-highest price: a colt by Coolmore's leading European sire Galileo out of Irish classic winner Saoire for €425,000 ($577,305).
The final session also saw the father-son team of Peter and Ross Doyle go to the sale's third-highest price of €580,000 ($789,903) for an Acclamation filly out of Irish stakes winner Galistic. She was offered by Camas Park Stud.
The day one session topper, a filly by Breeders' Cup Classic (gr. I) Raven's Pass out of French group III winner Albisola, was the sale's fourth-highest price at €520,000 ($706,455). Consigned by Knocktoran Stud, she was bought by Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid al Maktoum's Shadwell Estate Co.
A pleased Goffs chief executive Henry Beeby summed up two days of trading.
"The top price was obviously a highlight, but the Orby sale has again proved itself as a major sale of the best with sustained demand for the wonderful selection of some of the best of the 2012 crop as illustrated by the improved clearance rate of 87% from a larger catalogue," he said. "It is always a challenge to better a really good sale and it should be remembered that Orby '12 was a spectacular success with a 47% leap in average that allowed it to return the most impressive statistics of any sale last year. So to build on that with an average that has advanced by another 28% is especially pleasing and we would thank our vendors most sincerely for trusting us with their superb yearlings.
"So the two days have once again made our same, simple and consistent point in some style. Send us the horses and Goffs will do as well, if not better, than any auction house. We have ensured a truly international buying bench from all over the globe following targeted marketing trips alongside our friends at Irish Thoroughbred Marketing and have welcomed buyers from 25 countries, including increased numbers from Japan, USA, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, etc."

PLAINFIELD — There was a lot of hoopla surrounding the Plainfield High School boys basketball team well before Friday night's opener against Union County Conference archival Linden, and the way Ahmid Williams played in his team debut is only going to add to it.
The Cardinals, who brought most of the cast back from last year's NJSIAA Tournament of Champions finalist, received a huge performance from their newest star and posted a 78-60 victory in the much-anticipated contest.

text: I would like some honest opinions to help me decide whether or not to send my '34 Ford Tudor to auction in March. Selling it to start a new fresh build of a '33 Steel Coupe... Before I list it, I would like honest opinions as to whether or not it would be an appropriate addition to an auction, what, in your opinions, would be a reasonable reserve price, and what, on a conservative basis, should it sell for.The car is a 1934 Ford Model 40 Tudor Street Rod, all steel body, 350/350, originally designed and built by a rod shop in Palm Bay, FL in the early '70s. It was "lost" for 20 years and, eventually "found" in a lawn care maintenance shed in So.Florida. I restored it back to how it was originally built & pinstripped, with a few modern updates. Engine is being replaced as we speak due to a broken crank, so it will have less than 100 miles on the engine, with a GM crate engine warranty. Vintage A/C, B&M sport shifter, USB/CD AM/FM sound system. Doors are all solenoid controlled. Front Disc Power Brakes, rear drums. 650cc Carb. Electronic Ignition, etc. Adjustable Coil over shocks. Mustang 2 front end, 9" ford rear. Paint is 1 year old, rims have the original Patina (Rocket rims). (Should I replace with shiny chrome for more appeal?)Here's a link to some recent pictures...Photos | Photobucket's Top Collections of Pictures & Images | Photobucket I would appreciate your honest opinions.Thanks!

Tokyo stocks jumped more than three percent on Friday, the first day of 2013 trading, following global rallies on a US deal to avert a "fiscal cliff" of tax hikes and huge spending cuts.
The Nikkei 225 index at the Tokyo Stock Exchange, which ended 2012 at the highest level since the March 2011 quake and tsunami disaster, added 3.26 percent to 10,734.23 a few minutes after the opening.
Later in the morning the benchmark index was up 2.52 percent.
"Japan's markets are opening relatively late after the US government acted, and thus they stand to benefit from the news as well as the enthusiastic response from other bourses," said SMBC Nikko Securities general manager of equities Hiroichi Nishi.
Nishi also noted the yen's drop against the dollar and euro, which is positive for Japanese exporters.
The dollar rose to 87.63 yen in early Asian trade from 87.19 yen in New York Thursday afternoon. The euro was at 114.26 yen and $1.3034 from 113.80 yen and $1.3052.
But Nishi told Dow Jones Newswires that profit-taking was likely to temper share prices.
Tokyo markets had been closed from the end of 2012 until Thursday for holidays.
The US House of Representatives late Tuesday passed a deal between the White House and Republicans to raise taxes on the rich and put off automatic $109 billion budget cuts for two months, lifting the clouds of immediate crisis.
The market is watching the next moves by Congress and US President Barack Obama.
CLSA equity strategist Nicholas Smith said: "Thereafter (the) focus will be on who Prime Minister (Shinzo) Abe wants to recommend as the new Bank of Japan governor."
Abe, who took office in December, has pressured the central bank to take aggressive easing steps to help drag Japan out of years of deflation.
It has spawned speculation that he will want someone willing to agree to his inflation target to replace current governor Masaaki Shirakawa, whose five-year tenure ends on April 8.

Jesus Dick, you could've done much better than this.
ICDogg says: Feb 2, 2010 9:49 PM
FS is Macho Harris. Considering he was a rookie who switched from corner to safety, there is a decent chance (but no guarantee) that he will grow into the position.
bleedgreen13 says: Feb 2, 2010 9:52 PM
"i'm sure he'll have fun teaching Assante Samuel to tackle,…he's no Deion Sanders"
haha, I agree. I'm getting alittle tired of seeing he and "Macho" Harris throw shoulders into guys like Jason Witten and think that will be enough.
bigbirdsfan says: Feb 2, 2010 9:53 PM
Done much better than joining a well-run, perennial contender? Yeah sounds like a real dumb decision to me. I don't get where people get the idea that the Eagles suck. I realize they haven't won a SB. Neither has Dan Marino, does he suck too? Andy Reid has the second most wins w/ one team among active coaches, behind Belichick. He is the winningest coach in the NFC since he joined the Eagles. The Eagles are the best team in the NFC since 2000. Because they haven't won the big game, that suddenly makes them the Raiders? Don't think so.

I really dislike this man Dick Jauron.
Somehow he scammed the bills into giving him way too much input on drafting and personnel…the results are as follows.
His first EVER draft pick in 2006: The 5'9 Whitner at #8, instead of the 350 lb. Haloti Ngata. Ngata is now crushing double and triple teams for the ravens. They both have the same # of career interceptions.
2007: Lynch, Poz, Edwards…nothing special there.
2008: McKelvin over Clady
2009: Maybin over Cushing/Matthews/Orakpo
It is no wonder that the bills will suck for a while. It is Dick Jauron's fault, just like it was his fault in Chicago. He is nothing more than a secondary coach. Thanks for stealing money from a bunch of poor people in Western New York, Dick!
Klytus says: Feb 2, 2010 10:06 PM
Dick Jauron will be a fine addition to the coaching staff in Philadelphia. I see the Eagles pick 24th in the draft. Current opinion has them taking a linebacker not a defensive end.
Outsyder says: Feb 2, 2010 10:25 PM
The Bills secondary has always been the stronger part of their defense while he was there.
People just look at his record as a head coach and assume he sucks at everything.
Go do some research.
buckeye044 says: Feb 2, 2010 10:32 PM
I agree Klytus, Jauron is a top notch coach. They'll immediately be better on the back end.
Buffwings says: Feb 2, 2010 10:35 PM
@nagurskiTform all those draft picks you laid out were not all Jauron's decisions, they were Ralph Wilson's in large part.
Jauron will be an excellent addition for the Iggles.
He's a good teacher, well respected coach. Just not a capable head coach in this league obviously.

Outsyder says: Feb 2, 2010 10:57 PM
nagurski, haha. Typical "fan" of a team and football. You can't evaluate a draft class that quickly.
Besides, Lynch had 2 thousand yard seasons his first 2 years while not even playing a full 16 games. Poz had 110 tackles 2 years in a row and this year he didn't even play all 16 games. That sucks to you?
Edwards was a 3rd round QB. What did you expect? Tom Brady?
Besides, what makes you think he was in charging of picking those guys?

Jason Peters should give Mauron a big hug because Mauron was stupid enough to trade Peters out of Buffalo with no replacement, which in part lead to the Bills' pathetic O-line and ultimately Mauron's long overdue firing!
Ralph Wilson woke up from his nap, heard this and realized he saved himself a few hundred thousand dollars on the $3M he owes Mauron in 2010! Ralph will try to add that to his brinks truck that he plans to have following his hearse!

Not only is he cute and cuddly, he's a much better head coach than Andy Reid (not to mention about 100 pounds lighter) and a much better defensive coordinator than Sean McDermott.
schism says: Feb 3, 2010 9:38 AM
Dick is a good man, and had little to nothing to do with the drafting an dpalyer personelle problems in Buffalo, you cna blame that on Ralphs contstant input in that dept, he'll make a great secondary or DC. The guy took more than he could chew in Buffalo but will be a great asset to Philly in a pass happy NFC east.
TheDPR says: Feb 3, 2010 10:06 AM
My jaw dropped when I saw Quintin Mikell in the pro bowl. He didn't suck as badly as the rookie, Harris, but he's not exactly a top flight safety. Harris, at least, was a rookie who will probably play better this year, his second year ever playing safety (he was a CB in college). Mikell has peaked.
The problem is that neither guy is Dawkins.
Another problem is that Sheldon Brown had a lot of mental errors this year that hadn't shown up in prior seasons. And another is that the risky style Samuel plays only works when you have good safeties, which they don't.
Jauron is a good coach and may well improve both Harris and Mikell. Or he may be smart enough to see that Sean Jones is better than Harris and make Macho a backup/dime player.

Of course Dallas Cowboy fan is bitter at the Eagles…Philly has had it's way and pretty much bitch slapped Dallas over the last decade. It's a fact!

That just about seals it. Another Superbowl victory for the Eagles is pretty much assured with this brilliant move. They were already the best team in football… and have been for as long as I've watched the NFL.
Seems like nothing can slow this Philadelphia juggernaut.

Don't understand all the "good coach" and "fine addition" blather from some of the wizards here. He caught lightning in a bottle one year in Chicago, and coached a Buffalo team that started 6-2 one year. Other than that….?
Many vouch that he is a "good man" and that players love him….well of course they do, he's just a swell guy and demands NOTHING from them!
Rickah99 says: Feb 3, 2010 11:04 AM
Hey Vox,
Andy Reid:
108-67-1 (Regular Season)
10-8 (Postseason)
118-75-1 (Overall)
Doubghboy Phillips:
80-54-0 (Regular Season)
1–4 (Postseason)
81-58-0 (Overall)
Uhm, yeah.
Here's an idea for Vex & Chapstick:
Either reverse time to the mid 90's, or WAIT until Dallas, Rom-O-Choke, and Doughboy Phillips ACTUALLY compile a resume worth bragging about. With that said, we'll wait for your reply in about 4 years when/IF you can match Philly, McNabb, & Reid's accomplishments on the field. Until then enjoy playing each other in World of Warcraft!
wwwmattcom says: Feb 3, 2010 11:17 AM
This is exactly the position Jauron should be in, except, the Bills retained their secondary coach, thinking he is the guy who gave the Bills the edge in the secondary and helped develop Jairus Byrd. So who is wrong? The Bills for retaining Catavolos or the Eagles for hiring a guy (in my mind) who has a sparkling resume(for a DB coach)?
Jauron should be in a position that has little decision making, he barely knows a good time to call a time out, don't get me started on challenges.
If Jauron did have a big say in the draft, then I would have to say i have been very happy with their recent drafts, he filled a lot of holes, and in Buffalo we had a lot of holes, some miss, but you can't expect to get it right every time, and he was in a division that was all about passing (patriots) so we drafted tons of DB's.

Hmmm. How many years and teams did it take for Phillips to finally get a playoff win? Reid won a playoff game in his 2nd year as head coach, which should mean that Phillips won a playoff game the first year he ever coached a team, right?
.VoxVeritas says: Feb 3, 2010 12:45 PM
"Hmmm. How many years and teams did it take for Phillips to finally get a playoff win?"
Hmm, why would you put something like that just on the coach? They just coach. It's up to the players to play.
"Reid won a playoff game in his 2nd year as head coach"
And he's 2-5 against Wade Phillips. Reid's the guy that is completely clueless as to how to simply manage a game, remember? The guy that would rather lose via the pass than win with a balanced offensive attack. Yeah, same guy that put together a defense that can't get pressure on a QB without blitzing the house.

Are you serious? I didn't start watching football just 10 years ago. Did you? The 0-3gles are only 13-8 against the Cowboys since 2000 anyway. Big deal. So they got a head start years ago at the beginning of the decade. The Cowboys are 7-4 against the 0-3gles since 2005. That's a better winning percentage (.636) than the 0-3gles' winning percentage over the Cowboys over the last decade (.619). It's a fact!
And of course, the Cowboys' all-time winning percentage over the 0-3gles is .561.

Vox thinks that there are two teams that play in the NFL, the Cowpokes and Iggles. He forgets about the other 30 teams. Since I dislike the Cowpokes, I root for the other teams so as I see it in Vox's view:
Super Bowl Wins:
30 other teams 37 wins
Cowpokes 5 wins
Iggles 0
And after this Super Bowl, the number will be 38!
Last time I checked, the Boys lost 34-3 to the Vikes! The funny thing was that this was their best chance to get to the Super Bowl and they blew it!

Jeanne and I had the pleasure of welcoming 1017's Solomon Witherspoon and Russ King in the studio on March 10th. They opened for Three 6 Mafia at Clyde Iron Works that night. I really can't get over how great Russ is on his monster keyboard, and Solomon, well, he rocked out a new jingle for Jeanne and me. I saw the show that night, and it was amazing.

Aggressive Basset
Hi, I am new to forum.
I have a question that I hope someone could helkp me with.
Has anyone ever had a aggresive Basset Hound?
When Elvis doesn't want to do something that my wife and me want him to do, there's a pretty good chance that he will literally try to maul us.
I know it sounds crazy but let's say I want to put him in his cage, or he runs out and we grab him collar so he doesn't run away and then try to get him back in the house, or if he's on the bed and I try to pick him up to get him off. If he wants to come down no problem I pick him up and put him down, BUT if he doesn't it's like WWIII he attacks and not just a growl or even a snap, but lunging repeated attacks until I manhandle him off the bed or in the house.
The funny thing is is about 95% of the time he is the most lovable dog I know but I've never had a dog bite me. (My own dog)
Let me explain how we ended up with a bassetl. My ast dog was a rottie mix about 125 lbs, and while he was very protective and snapped at a couple people (and needed a tranquillizer when I brought him to the vet), BUT I could grab him collar drag him in the house, throw him in his cage, Never did he bite me.
So for our latest dog my wife and I wanted a nice mellow lovable FRIENDLY dog, and we both love the basset breed.
I realize they are stibborn and can be a real pain at times, but I can overlook all of that. But when I came home Sunday from food shopping and saw my wife's arms swollen and bleeding, I can't take more of that.
Her wrist looked broken it was so swollen, thankfully it wasn't.
So has anyone else known a basset that would snap on it's owners?
He's about 14 months he's been doing this sparatically since about 9 months.
He's fixed.
He's about 65 lbs.

my basset is about 4 months and he tends to growl and snap if something is being done he doesnt like aka cleaning his ears....he is going to private dog obedience lessens because i feel it is my fault that he feels he is lead dog with all the spoiling I do. It sounds like your basset feels that he is the leader also. Maybe some behavior modifications will help your guy too. Woody is a sweetheart himself so I have been promised this will help..and my trainer is someone good with bassets since she owns 2 of them herself.
Good luck with him
Woody and his mom

Thanks for the response, Yep I'm starting training this weekend. It's my last option before Elvis has to leave. (I hope it works out, I must be a horrible dog trainer because I know we babied him WAY TOO MUCH).
I was getting scared because everwhere I read it said Bassets Don't Bite... So I was thinking "great I have the only Psycho Basset out there..."
I'll keep you posted.
Any other advice is appreciated.

Dominance in domestic dogs—useful construct or bad habit?
Journal of Veterinary Behavior: Clinical Applications and Research, Vol. 4, Issue 3.
[quote]The term "dominance" is widely used in the academic and popular literature on the behavior of domestic dogs, especially in the context of aggression. Although dominance is correctly a property of relationships, it has been erroneously used to describe a supposed trait of individual dogs, even though there is little evidence that such a trait exists. When used correctly to describe a relationship between 2 individuals, it tends to be misapplied as a motivation for social interactions, rather than simply a quality of that relationship. Hence, it is commonly suggested that a desire 'to be dominant' actually drives behavior, especially aggression, in the domestic dog. By contrast, many recent studies of wolf packs have questioned whether there is any direct correspondence between dominance within a relationship and agonistic behavior, and in contrast to wolves, hierarchical social structures have little relationship with reproductive behavior in feral dog packs. Nor do the exchanges of aggressive and submissive behavior in feral dogs, originally published by S. K. Pal and coworkers, fit the pattern predicted from wolf behavior, especially the submissive behavior observed between members of different packs. In the present study of a freely interacting group of neutered male domestic dogs, pairwise relationships were evident, but no overall hierarchy could be detected. Since there seems to be little empirical basis for wolf-type dominance hierarchies in dogs[/url]
Myth 10: Dogs live in a dominance hierarchy, with the Alpha dog at the top as the absolute leader.

Hi Ogilvy, I'm sorry about what happened to your wife's arm.
I too have problem with my basset. Carlos is 8 months old now, I adopted him 1.5 months ago. Like Elvis, he also bites hands and sometimes can be very aggressive and jumps on people. His previous owner dumped him because of this. But most of the time he's a very sweet and affectionate dog. What I've done so far is I pin him down on the floor when he's having his tantrum and say NO firmly until he gives up. This only works temporarily.
I live in Indonesia, in an area where obedience trainers are not available. So if you guys have suggestion on how to handle my dog please, please let me know.

He might have resource guarding and body handling issues. A lot of bassets are sensitive and need gentle training. Try teaching him to get down off the bed instead of you forcing him off and also training him to go where he needs to be so you can eliminate the collar dragging. Collar dragging is an easy solution for us, but your basset might be seeing it as an aggressive act towards him. Even though you might not mean it to be. There is a lot of good books and info about resource guarding. Maybe he is also lacking in confidence. Doing more training with him will give him better confidence. Maybe he needs more exercise as well. Playing "brain games" is also a good way to help build confidence with him. When you look for training ideas and resource guarding info, make sure it is positive reinforcement based.

Well as I have said before, I have yet to see an aggressive Basset... and three generations of my family have had Bassets, many older rehomes between us all and we have always had two or three together, occasionally four when we temporarily fostered or looked after friends' Bassets and never once have I seen any aggression whatsoever in any of them, not even when we have introduced a new Basset to the others.
Maybe because myself, my husband and two children are laid-back, it rubs off onto our Bassets and we have never used a cage and our hounds have several beds in the kitchen, hall and lounge and they aren't allowed on stairs as it's not good for their little front legs, especially with all that weight going downwards. I think Mikey usually has some good advice!

There are definitely aggressive,biting bassets,as any dog can be given the right situations.Sometimes without realizing it we contribute to the problem.We don't deal with it when it first starts usually when they become "teenagers" and or starting to become sexually mature,or when they are puppies and we think growling is cute. Occasionally, genitics can be responsible for the temperment of a dog. It isn't something that goes away it just gets worse.Then when it progresses to the Monster stage and people are now getting bitten it is the dog that has to pay the price. Pardon me and I don't mean this to be smart but the Rotti should not have had to tranquilized to be taken to the vet and never "thrown" in his crate. You may not have actually ment thrown but it sounded like roughness anyway. What happened to the Rotti,just curious. Dogs are not people as much as we love them and care about them and for them, they need disipline, and I don't mean harsh.They need to know what is expected of them which is now what you are doing by going to training. The training is for you more than the dog. Think like a dog ,the more you spoil them and don't require them to respond to a command like"NO" you increase the problems they will give you. Just like kids in that manner, let them get away with enough disrespect and you'll be trying to fix what you contributed to.I get a lot out of watching Ceasar Milan,he thinks like a dog ,he teaches them in a way they understand. Anyway,I digress, I know Mikey will not agree with what I'm saying and that is ok . I know I'm not directly answering your problem, but, there are mean ,nasty ,aggressive, bassets out there and I'm afraid we are making alot of them what they are. Maybe I am just seeing this in a bad light,so I 'm sorry for coming on so strong.

If it were my dog I'd give him a reality check. Perhaps try crate training him and not giving him the luxury of sleeping where ever he wants. What he is doing is working for him so in dog world, he's just going to keep doing it. He knows if he doesn't want to, he can escalate his behavior until eventually you leave him alone.
Have you tried to bribe him with treats when you want him to move rather than dragging him? He's probably very food motivated and would gladly relocate for a treat. Plus you won't end up with a bite. When he does what you want the rest of the time are you making a nice big deal out of it? Don't forget to reward good behavior and not just notice the bad behavior.
It is hard not to baby your pup and I've been guilty of the same thing. I actually had a lab bite my daughter because he learned he could do whatever he wanted and would snap if displeased. So, try a strict routine with crate, positive bribes, and reinforcement for awhile. Lord knows it might take a basset quite a while, even with perfect consistancy, to accept the new routine.
BTW I'm a new basset owner so this is me guessing at a solution for you. Not a seasoned pro here by any stretch but hoping to try and help.
Good luck!

Oh and another thought. Where did you get him? Any possibility that he had a rough start to life or even possibly some inbreeding? I hear that accidental inbreeding shows up first with abnormal aggressive behavior.

My research focuses on the impacts of wind disturbances on plant-soil interactions in the Southern Appalachian mountains. I use a combination of greenhouse and field experiments to investigate how tornadoes can change not only what plants grow in an area, but also how they interact with each other-- through the soil. Relationships with specialist soil organisms (including pathogens, mutualists, and decomposers) can influence spatial patterns, diversity, and coexistence of plant communities. The sudden change in environment after a tornado may weaken these relationships. My research contributes to our knowledge of plant-soil feedbacks by adding a field-based view in a dynamic environment. As strong disturbances become more frequent, it becomes even more important for us to examine how ecological processes respond to abrupt environmental changes.

1982, December 9th. Gor Gor met Mr. Tong at the Regent Hotel: the two of them began on 1983, January 2nd a relationship that was to last longer than 20 years. (Suzie Wong)
For many years I just kept calling him Daffy. Daffy. How he met a boy called Daffy at a party and how he found himself thinking about him incessantly even after a few weeks how he searched for him how they recognized each other how they fell in love how they walk through life together... (Jimmy Ngai)
To have met Tong was Leslies biggest fortune in his life. Mr. Cheung did not believe in fate nor in luck. No. He overflowed with self-confidence he was all about tough self-determination he was aggressive and competitive he believed he deserves everything he had achieved. Except for Daffy. He is a Guardian Angel given by God to him, so that the bird that has no legs can find a landing spot in this rapidly-changing, perilous whirlpool of life. Without the toughness of Tong, without Tong to fulfill his desire of being desired, the story of Leslie will never be the same. (Jimmy Ngai)
You all knew it all along... all along I've only one special person all these umpteen years. Nothing has changed. My fans who loves me accepted who I am just as I have accepted who I am, myself . I am what I am... (Leslie Cheung)
Of course. I have somebody to love me. That's my privacy. I love keep this secret for a little bit longer. Everybody knows. But we don't talk about it... (Leslie Cheung)
No one cares who I love and there is no need to ask because what you want to say, hear or know is no more secret and there is no need to tell. This is my very personal matter. I think audience and readers accept what I am. (Leslie Cheung)
A friend in need is a friend indeed. This very best friend helped me when I was in trouble. There are lot of people make perfection still more perfect, but how many people can provide timely help?... At that time we were both young and we had been close friends for many years. The feelings were really warm when got help from him. (Leslie Cheung)
My good friend, he is now my investment consultant... As an artist I have no idea how to handle money. He makes appropriate investment with what I earn which is very helpful to me. (Leslie Cheung)
He is my best friend. He's also like my younger brother, a person that I can trust and whom I can talk to. I think I should be grateful to him for the rest of my life. When I was at the most difficult time many years ago, I needed quite a large sum of money for some urgent reasons. He lend me the money without a word. Later on I learned it from friends that he had to sacrifice for cheaper lunch boxes for several months. He is the only guy who could stand by me at my difficult time. I would treat him as my life long friend. He is not only a friend, but my very special and important friend. (Leslie Cheung)
Every relationship is natural even if it's heterosexual, bisexual or homosexual. (Leslie Cheung)
I think when I really love someone, I won't care it's a man or a woman. What I mean is, when two people are in love, it's only love that matters. (Leslie Cheung)
I think the times of telling the usual love between man and woman is coming to an end. Today, there are many kinds of love. If you are men or women, you can foster the love between you. If you have a loved one, it does not matter whether the one is man or woman. (Leslie Cheung)
"Who is more romantic? You or your best friend?" "Of course, I am. I would come up a lot of surprise!" Then he gave this example: it was his friend's birthday. He already gave a present, so the matter was supposedly finished. Then he took his friend to the airport, said to pick someone up. When they got there, his friend found out he's getting on a plane. Leslie had secretly arranged for them to go on vacation! (Leslie Cheung, from an interview to Eunice Lam)
I like him because he's good. He treats me very well. He is the type who loves me and mine. He is always helpful without hesitation to all the people around him, including his colleagues, his friends. To me it is beyond words!... Sometimes I have an edge to me, and he doesn't. So I feel he is very good, he knows very well his place, when to play what role, this is very good, very good. Especially since our lives are so busy, our work so stressful, there is a need for someone to be always close by to support you... This is a great happiness, a blessing. A gift from God. (Leslie Cheung)
Actually we never like to stand out to say anything. We never answer any rumours in the past, but at least we can prove it by action. For instance, we watched movies or had meals together, but now I can't do anything. Let me say it once again, the love between me and Leslie had never changed. (Daffy Tong)
I want to send Ah Jai these two sentences again: 'Life has an end, but my love is endless'. (Daffy Tong)
Ah Jai, Heaven and Earth may end one day, but this love is everlasting. (Daffy Tong)
Uncle Daffy, 10th Uncle had also treasured your relationship. He said that you once lent him a few month's worth of salary to help him tie over the difficult period. For the past one year, I have also witnessed what real love is. You have never forsaken 10th Uncle who was suffering from depression, taking care of him day and night. Uncle Daffy, I represent my Uncle to thank you. I feel that he is so blessed to have you! (Alisha MacPherson)
I am like a cloud, not knowing where to float to. (Daffy Tong)
In this moment? Why 'in this moment'? I've always loved Leslie. Our sentiment has never changed. (Daffy Tong)
This is a page dedicated to the most wonderful and touching love story of 20th Century. It's made with true words and true imagines, giving to these men the respect they proudly deserved and often didn't receive in a very unfair way. Leslie's Pillow bowed to the courage, the dignity, the honesty, the elegance and the kindness of Mr. Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing and Mr. Daffy Tong Hok Tak. The incomparable beauty of their love may touch the heart of people of every age, generation, country and last forever in spite of the transience of earthly life in this hypocritical, unworthy world.

Oregon Historical County Records Guide
Gilliam County Records Inventory
Insane Commitment Records
Series documents the examination, commitment, and release of mentally ill persons to and from the state's mental institutions. Series contains statements of complaint and commitment recorded by the county clerk or recorder and includes petitions to have an individual committed; physicians certification that an individual is insane; delivery warrants authorizing a county official (usually the sheriff) to take the individual to the state hospital; patient discharges; paroles or transfers; indexes; and correspondence. Information includes patient and family names, date committed, reason, physical description, and a brief family history. This series may also be known as the Insane Record, Mental Illness Record, and Mentally Ill and Feeble Minded Record. By 1968, in most counties, the commitment of the mentally ill or deficient had become the responsibility of the circuit court. Access to these records may be restricted for 75 years by Oregon Revised Statute 192.496.
Insane commitment records are also documented in the probate registers, journals, and case files. See the appropriate probate record series in this inventory.

Jay-Z, 'Open Letter' — New Song
Brace yourselves — a brand new Jay-Z single is here, co-produced by Swizz Beats and Timbaland. "Open Letter" begins as a creeping, simplistic beat and transforms into one of Hova's most honest moments.
Controversy has been circling the rapper since his trip to Cuba with wife Beyonce last week. Many conservatives in Congress wondered how two prominent Americans could have traveled to the embargoed country without expressed permission.
"Politicians never did shit for me/except lie to me, distort history."
Jay blasts political skeptics who wanted a full investigation of the power couple's vacation in Havana. But wait, there's more …
"They wanna give me jail time and a fine — Fine, Let me commit a real crime Obama said, "Chill you're going to get me impeached'/You don't need this shit Anyway, chill with me on the beach."
That's not all the rapper has to say in his "Open Letter." Jay-Z's also been accused of abandoning his native Brooklyn after selling his shares in the New York borough's NBA team, The Nets.
"I woulda moved the Nets to Brooklyn for free/Except I made millions off you fucking dweebs/I still own the building, I'm still keeping my seats/You buy that bullshit, you better keep your receipts."
Jay-Z recently signed the Yankees' Robinson Cano to the new sports management arm of Roc Nation. The Brooklyn rapper also wants to represent basketball stars, which forces him to relinquish shares in any NBA team.
Jay throws a few other subtle barbs in the short but reference-heavy single. Hell, he even claims to be the Bob Dylan of rap. And when you think about it — his idiosyncratic, non-rhythmic, lazy style coupled with Jay's cultural important to hip-hop — that sort of makes sense. But hey, we know why you're here. Check out the song below.
