Send Something Good Participant Link Up
Today we're having a link up for all those participating in the Send Something Good Project! So exciting!
We have over 160 bloggers participating and I know it's going to be such a blast! So take a look at who links up and make some new friends- whether you're participating or not. :)
(only those who signed up for the Send Something Good Project may link up)
Not only does this create a list of all those participating, but it is also a chance for the participants to tell us a little about themselves. :) SO, here is my list:
10 of my favorite things:
1. Foxes
2. Mountains
3. Pretending I'm a photographer
4. The Color Taupe
5. Lace
6. Rose Gold
7. The Outdoors/ traveling/ exploring/ roadtrips
8. Items that hold their beauty in the details, structure, and architecture rather in the embellishments. Does that make sense?
9. Bowties or items that can be worn around the neck of a collared shirt and peter pan collars
10. Reading
You can link up here, with Kaitlyn, Kristy, or all 3! I believe it'll show up on all three blogs regardless.

The Essentials of Bug Cookery...From Soup to Gnats
"Waiter, there's a fly in my soup!" Or wait...maybe it's a katydid, a silkworm, or a tasty young bee. Anything's possible at the Eat-A-Bug Cafe, otherwise known as the kitchen of naturalist David George Gordon, entomological epicure extraordinaire.
Gordon has gone to the ends of the earth, to his backyard, and under the refrigerator to find culinary inspiration, and now, after years of experimentation with entomophagy (that's bug-eating, for those of you in the cheap seats), he presents the results with relish...or at least a light cream sauce.
Now you too can tantalize and terrify your family and friends with Gordon's one-of-a-kind recipes, including Really Hoppin' John (grasshoppers add that little extra kick), Pest-O (common garden weevils get their comeuppance in a delicate basil sauce) and Fried Green Tomato Hornworm (the Whistle Stop Cafe was never like this!)
Anecdotes, insights and culinary tips (such as the right wine to serve with scorpions) make this truly a book like no other. Follow the detailed instructions, and your guests will ask for seconds, just like folks at David's notorious cooking demos. Open your culinary horizons. Buy this book. Eat a bug.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
David George Gordon, author of The Compleat Cockroach, says eating protein-rich bugs is good for you ("Crickets are loaded with calcium, and termites are rich in iron), and good for the earth ("Raising cows, pigs, and sheep is a tremendous waste of the planet's resources, but bug ranching is pretty benign"). After all, what's inherently more disgusting about eating a grasshopper than, say, an oyster? Gordon enthusiastically provides recipes for terrestrial arthropods gleaned from the entomophagic appetites of people around the world, telling you which insects are most delicious and which to avoid, how to cook them, and which wine to drink with your many-legged meal. The recipes themselves are clear, easy to follow, and quite educational, with sidebar tidbits about the bugs you're about to eat. Gordon divides the recipes into sections by type of insect, be it grasshoppers, social insects, or "pantry pests." And, of course, he provides a list of places where you can order your edible insects and tips for catching your own. The Eat a Bug Cookbook is a sure kitchen conversation piece--even if you never try Three Bee Salad or Chocolate Cricket Torte, you'll laugh out loud, squirm uncomfortably, and lick your chops while taking this deliciously creepy culinary tour. --Therese LittletonAbout the Author:
An award-winning nature writer, David George Gordon is the author of eleven guides to North American wildlife and wild places.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) -- Without even trying, Louisville is adding to Kentucky's misery.
While the defending national champions are left to clean out their lockers after being stunned in the first round of the NIT -- yes, the NIT -- the Cardinals rolled into Rupp Arena on Wednesday for the NCAA tournament.
As the overall No. 1 seed, no less.
This isn't the first time the Cardinals (29-5) have played at Rupp in the NCAA tournament. But there's no missing the irony. A year after the Wildcats beat Louisville in the Final Four on their way to the NCAA title, the top-seeded Cardinals begin their chase on Kentucky's home court.

Woo, swipe selection works great. It does, however, kill your ability to press the special character button, swipe to a number (or character) and release back to the main keyboard. So, if you need special characters then you need to tap three times to input it, which is annoying.
It should automatically disable while a button is being held down. Then it would be perfect.
The top 5 jailbreak tweaks totals over $15.. I must say I do miss the old days before the devs got so greedy. Quasar is ridiculous.
Swipe Safari is so much better than Full Screen For iPad: it includes the full-screen for iPad features, but adds some awesome gesture features.
And, yes, $10 is steep for any app. Thing is, Quasar works like a dream on my iPad 3. The increased functionality is far from a novelty and must be considered a serious extension to the iPad's UI. And, I don't wanna even think about the time and effort it took to develop this. My $10 bucks is a small "thank you" for making my iPad waaaaaay more useful.

(When these emails were originally exchanged Raphael was 78, Epstein 72).
"Everybody knows Henry did not intend to kill his mother," Epstein said.
Raphael and Epstein are what one might call major minor writers.
When I put their allegations to Epstein, he denied them and went into overdrive.
But apparently even DSK no longer believes she was a willing part of a conspiracy, and for that matter, neither does Epstein.
He studied the pianoforte with Epstein, composition and counterpoint with Bruckner.
Here they were met by the manager, who seized Epstein by the arm.
Mr. Epstein and his muzik, Michael, almost came to blows in trying to decide which of them should put the yoke on the bull's neck.
Epstein was looking at him, but not with the eyes of one who sees the object he gazes on.
On the other hand Mr. Epstein's Venus is still regarded as medically unfit.

The 1926 model of the Cadillac Series 314 was more narrow and taller than previous models as well as offered a more durable nickel-plated radiator with vertical, thermostatically controlled shutters. It also offered tilting headlights and a V-8 engine that offered 80 horsepower through a three-speed manual transmission.
It was apparently also difficult to maintain, namely its 65 lubrication points. The 1926 Cadillac was marketed as "The New Cadillac" because its introduction of body design and amenities. This was a significant vehicle for Cadillac because that was the year the company shifted from Henry Leland engineering to the Earnest Seaholm and Harley Earle.
The Series 314 designation was used chiefly by the sales and mechanical departments. No, it does not refer to geometry, as in pi. It simply referred to the displacement of the car's motor.
The Series 314 came in standard and coach models as well as a host of amenities that ranged from interior hardwood paneling, detachable vanity and smoker cases, silk cord handles and electric gasoline gauge. Bumpers cost $24 extra. Mechanical brakes on all four wheels provided the stopping power.
A total of 27,771 Cadillacs were produced in 1926 at a price tag of between $3,000 and $5,000. The remaining cars sought by collectors often run upwards of $100,000 when they come to auction.

Reviews of this property
El piso está súper bien localizado en el centro de la ciudad. A destacar que es muy amplio y las habitaciones no dan a la calle principal, por lo que no se oye ni un ruido durante la noche.
A mejorar, el cuarto-ducha olía un poco a desagüe hasta que abrías la ducha...por si se puede hacer algo (solo como mejora).
La atención del dueño, muy buena y la del chico que nos entregó las llaves, perfecta.
Recomiendo el piso al 100%.
The apartment was just amazing! It's huge, the perfect size for two up to three couples. We had 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms. The living room and kitchen are very big and perfect to relax after a long sightseeing day. Very nice refurbished and located in a quiet neighborhood.
We had a great time and I can recommend to stay there.
Also the host was very responsive and helpful. As we arrived very early in Nice we had the chance to get the keys for the apartment already at noon.
This is a lovely apartment, conveniently located in Nice. Salvatore was very helpful throughout the booking process and even offers a collection service from the airport direct to the apartment which also served as the check-in process. Despite our flights arriving earlier than check-in time, we were able to access the apartment earlier which we really appreciated. The apartment was clean and well-furnished. The only issue we had was the building works in the building, which started very early each day, but this is no fault of Salvatore or the team. Would be very happy to recommend. Slept 6 of us very comfortably.
Reviews for this host's other properties
We very much enjoyed our stay at this apartment. Very close to Jean De Medicin, in the centre of Nice. A perfect apartment/living area for 2 people to stay in. It all went smoothly with keys and check-in, we could handle this all by ourselves in accordance with e-mail from the host Salvatore. We are going back again on August 2rd and will stay in this apartment once again. We highlyrecommend this for everyone!!

Wir haben den Aufenthalt in Nizza sehr genossen.
Insgesamt haben wir drei Nächte in dem Apartment übernachtet.
Nach Ankunft erfolgte problemlos die Schlüsselübergabe.
Das Appartement war sauber und es war alles da, was man benötigt. Die Küche ist voll ausgestattet und es gibt Handtücher (die sogar in Plastik verpackt sind) und Toilettenpapier war auch vorhanden.
In der Umgebung befinden sich fußläufig ein Supermarkt, ein Bäcker, ein Restaurant und eine Apotheke.
Das Wichtigste, die Promenade des Anglais, liegt ebenfalls nicht mal 5 Minuten von dem Apartment entfernt.
Dort findet man auch gleich eine Bushaltestelle.
Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder.
Dankeschön Salvatore.
very nice apartment in the center of Nice.
Studio bien propre et très bien placé
bon accueil
Appartement relativement conforme aux photos, mais problème d'humidité. Placement irréprochable, en plein centre, à 1mn de la mer, très pratique !
Idéal pour un court séjour entre amis
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone

I've had this idea on my pinterest summer board since last year. We finally got around to building our own water wall. It was a family effort and so much fun to play with. We used things that we had on hand: a pallet (saved for this purpose last summer), some empty milk and water jugs, a pool noodle, a bit of pvc pipe, duct tape, a bit of scrap wood and some screws. I think it will be a welcome addition to our summer backyard!

God's thoughts of His saints on earth; the remnant of Israel sealed, secured, and set apart for blessing before God's judgments; a multitude of Gentiles before the throne ascribing salvation to God and the Lamb
But God thinks too of His saints on earth (where, we must remember, the assembly is never now seen) before the scenes which follow, whether judgments on the Roman earth or the special workings of evil, to secure and seal them for that day.
First, the perfect number of the remnant of Israel is sealed, before the providential instruments of God's judgments are allowed to act; 144,000=12 x 12 x 1000. They are secured for blessing according to God's purposes and set apart by Him; not yet seen in their blessings, but secured for them. Afterwards the vast multitude from among the Gentiles is seen. We must remark here, there is no previous prophetic announcement of the blessing of the spared ones in the great tribulation (not the three years and a half of Matthew 24 -- this refers to Jews -- but that mentioned in the epistle to the church at Philadelphia). Hence this is fully given to us here, and we are distinctly told who they are. A multitude of Gentiles is seen standing not as around the throne, but before it and before the Lamb, their righteousness owned and themselves victorious. They ascribe salvation to God thus revealed, that is, to God on the throne, and to the Lamb. They belong to these earthly scenes, not to the assembly. This is answered by the angels who are around the throne, the elders, and the living creatures -- all together composing the heavenly part of the scene already connected with the throne; the angels surrounding the others, which form the centre and immediate circle of the throne, the white-robed multitude before it. The angels give their Amen, and pronounce the praise of their God too.
The difference between the praises of the various classes of worshippers
All this belonged to the white-robed multitude and the angels; only the former speak of the Lamb, who was also their salvation. The angels add their Amen to this; but praise their God. They had ascribed glory and blessing to the Lamb before; but, naturally, salvation to the Lamb was not their own part of the song. But the four living creatures and the elders do not worship here, because their own relationships were different, and these are not what are spoken of here. They are found, as far as the book goes, in Revelation 4 and Revelation 5, where they are on thrones around, and cast their crowns before the throne, and worship Him that liveth for ever and ever. They give the motives of worship according to the relationships they are in: that of the angels is with their God; of the white-robed multitude, with the God of the throne and the Lamb as having the title to the government and deliverance of the earth as a present thing. That the Lamb was the Son, yea, the God who created the angels, is not the question here, but of each speaking in his own relationship, so as to bring these relationships out.
The white robed multitude out of the great tribulation a class apart, distinct from the heavenly and the millennial saints and the Jewish remnant
We have thus the heavenly hosts, the glorified saints, and the white-robed multitude, each in a different relationship, but the first and the last thrown in the main together -- the glorified saints forming a class apart. They do not worship here. But one of the elders, who have always the intelligence of God, explains to the prophet who the white-robed multitude are. It formed no part of the prophetic revelation as yet, and it was not the assembly's own place. "Sir, thou knowest," says the prophet. They had come out of the great tribulation, faithful in it, their robes white in the blood of the Lamb. They were not millennial saints, that is, born in that time, and subject by birth to the responsibility of that condition (which grace had to meet). They were cleansed and owned to be so, having the consciousness of it and victory when the others began; so that they, as already cleansed and owned, are always before the throne a special class, and serve Him day and night in His temple.
This at once distinguishes them from the heavenly worshippers; there is no temple there; the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple. He that sits on the throne tabernacles over these, as once over the tabernacle. They are not only as Israel in the courts, or the nations in the world: they have a priest's place in the world's temple. The millennial multitudes are worshippers; these priests. As Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, ever in the temple itself, they have always access to the throne. But they had blessings under the Lamb also, to whom they alike ascribe their salvation -- the good Shepherd cast out, and who had passed through tribulation Himself, also so great, would feed them; they would not hunger any more or thirst any more, as they had often done; nor should persecution or tribulation reach them. The Lamb, as known in this transitional time, but exalted in the throne, would feed them and lead them to living fountains of water. It is not, as to us, the promise of a well of water, springing up into everlasting life, and flowing out as a river; but they would be fed, refreshed, and perfectly cared for by the Lamb's grace whom they had followed; and God himself would wipe all tears from their eyes. They would have the consolations of God, worth all the sorrows they had passed through. But their blessings are consolations, not proper heavenly joy. They are thus a class apart, distinct from the elders or heavenly saints, and distinct from millennial-saints who will never see tribulation, having a known position fixed in grace before God. It is a new revelation as to those passing through the great tribulation. The 144,000 of Revelation 14 are a similar class from among the Jews, coming out of their special tribulation.Synopsis by John Darby

Tornados dropped by UNC Pembroke, 4-0September 13, 2011
Brevard falls in non-conference action to the Braves
Rock Hill, S.C. - UNC Pembroke recorded a pair of goals in the first half and added two more in the second, as Brevard College fell in non-conference action on Tuesday evening at Winthrop University, 4-0.
The Braves (5-0-0) struck first at the 34:15 mark as Sam Miles drove in a shot from the left side after collecting the bounce off a defender to put UNC Pembroke up 1-0.
UNC Pembroke added another goal in the first half as Alex Antonescu took advantage of a miscommunication in the box between Brevard (0-4-1) goalkeeper Jack Shaw and a defender, slipping the ball into the right side of the net off the pass from Paul Freeman.
Brett Luccia added a goal early in the second half and Miles collected his second of the game in the second half to give Pembroke the 4-0 advantage.
The Tornados threatened to get on the board late as Tommi Rasinmaki saw a shot hit off the crossbar, but Brevard was unable to find the back of the net in falling, 4-0.
Brevard opens South Atlantic Conference action this weekend on the road as they travel to Jefferson City, Tenn. to take on Carson-Newman. Kickoff between the Tornados and the Eagles is set for 5 p.m.

"[E]ducated Joe the Plumber" Santelli spreads conspiracy theories with admitted homicide plotter G. Gordon Liddy
On The G. Gordon Liddy Show, Rick Santelli agreed with Liddy's claim that when Robert Gibbs said during a press briefing, "I'm not entirely sure where Mr. Santelli lives, or in what house he lives," Gibbs was making a "veiled threat." In fact, Gibbs was not threatening Santelli, but rather asserting that Santelli is out of touch with the concerns of "the American people."
As the blog Think Progress noted [1], on the February 23 broadcast of Radio America's The G. Gordon Liddy Show, CNBC on-air editor Rick Santelli agreed with host G. Gordon Liddy's claim that when White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said during a February 20 press briefing [2], "I'm not entirely sure where Mr. Santelli lives, or in what house he lives," Gibbs was making a "veiled threat." Liddy later said of Gibbs' comment, "And that's a veiled threat, you know, 'We know where you live,' and so forth." Santelli replied, "It really -- it's quite scary." In fact, Gibbs was not threatening Santelli, but rather asserting that Santelli -- whose CNBC.com profile [3] calls him a "veteran trader and financial executive" -- is out of touch with the concerns of "the American people."
Gibbs' comments came in response to Santelli's February 19 rant [4] over what Santelli said was the government's "promoting bad behavior" and "subsidiz[ing] the losers' mortgages" through President Obama's proposed foreclosure reduction plan [5]. Gibbs said [6]:
Well, let's go through this, because I do think this is very important. And I've watched Mr. Santelli on cable the past 24 hours or so. I'm not entirely sure where Mr. Santelli lives or in what house he lives, but the American people are struggling every day to meet their mortgage, stay in their job, pay their bills, to send their kids to school, and to hope that they don't get sick or that somebody they care for gets sick and sends them into bankruptcy.
I think we left a few months ago the adage that if it was good for a derivatives trader that it was good for Main Street. I think the verdict is in on that.
As Media Matters for America has noted [7], Liddy served four and a half years in prison in connection with his conviction for his role [8] in the Watergate break-in and the break-in at the office of the psychiatrist of Daniel Ellsberg, the military analyst who leaked the Pentagon Papers. Liddy has acknowledged [9] preparing to kill someone during the Ellsberg break-in "if necessary"; plotting [10] to kill journalist Jack Anderson; plotting [11] with a "gangland figure" to kill Howard Hunt to stop him from cooperating with investigators; plotting [12] to firebomb the Brookings Institution; and plotting [13] to kidnap "leftist guerillas" at the 1972 Republican National Convention -- a plan he outlined to the Nixon administration using terminology borrowed from the Nazis. (The murder, firebombing, and kidnapping plots were never carried out; the break-ins were.) During the 1990s, Liddy reportedly instructed his radio audience on multiple occasions on how to shoot Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms agents and also reportedly said he had named his shooting targets after Bill and Hillary Clinton.
On the February 23 broadcast, Liddy and Santelli had the following exchange:
SANTELLI: [H]e [Gibbs] started that press conference saying, "I don't know where he lives, I don't know where his house is." This is the press secretary of the White House. Is that the kind of thing we want? Is that what it --
LIDDY: It's a veiled threat.
SANTELLI: It really is. You know what? This isn't about left or right. I wasn't for any of the bailouts under the last administration. But I don't realize or recall reading the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution where it says that once you vote for somebody in November, you put duct tape over your mouth and you can't say a word for the next four years. That's just not right.
LIDDY: No, it isn't. And that's a veiled threat, you know, "We know where you live," and so forth.
SANTELLI: It really -- it's quite scary.
In the past year, Liddy has repeatedly used his radio show to dispense conspiracy theories, misinformation, and outrageous commentary.
- On his November 4, 2008 [14], radio program, Liddy spoke to a caller who stated: "I'm ready to go to the concentration camp, that Obama's police force -- he will round me up. Because I -- I'm a white American." Liddy then said, "Well, listen to this," and aired an edited clip of Obama saying in a July 2, 2008, speech in Colorado Springs: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded." Liddy then stated: "Shades of the Gestapo. The Geheime Staatspolizei," to which the caller replied: "How's the cooking going to be? What will -- what will they serve, at the camp?" Liddy responded: "Well, I think, probably, there'll be ham hocks and turnip greens." In fact, Obama's comments about the necessity of a "civilian national security force" referred not to creating a national police force, but to expanding AmeriCorps and other programs.
- On his November 13, 2008 [15], radio program, Liddy repeatedly advised people not to register their firearms, saying: "The first thing you do is, no matter what law they pass, do not -- repeat, not -- ever register any of your firearms." Liddy added: "Because that's where they get the list of where to go first to confiscate. So, you don't ever register a firearm, anywhere."
- On October 30, 2008 [16], Liddy said of Obama's electoral prospects in Pennsylvania: "Pennsylvania has been described as Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, with Alabama in the middle. Obama is counting on the urban elites and the welfare class to win the state for him. But he's putting on a show for the rest of Pennsylvania."
- On his October 7, 2008 [17], radio show, Liddy discussed the detention [18] of anti-Obama author Jerome Corsi [19] in Kenya and aired a sketch in which he played audio of what he called "jungle telegraph drums." During the sketch, Liddy said: "We've used the satellite connection to Kenya, and we are now focusing in on the trial of Dr. Jerome Corsi. ... [H]e's being accused of impersonating a human being. My Zulu's not -- not as good as Obama's, but -- yeah, they're really upset with him. You can probably tell." Liddy then aired a clip apparently from the 1950 movie [20] King Solomon's Mines, which featured characters speaking in Kinyarwanda (not Zulu), one of the official languages of Rwanda, and playing music on drums. Liddy continued: "This is it. This is the -- I think the entire Obama family is getting set to do something terrible to Dr. Corsi. I must say that Dr. Corsi appears to be bearing up with great courage. He's a man. Dr. Corsi will show 'em how to die. Yes, indeed." Liddy went on to say, "That is the -- says it -- the message is going out from Kenya to our brother in America, if I'm understanding the jungle telegraph drums correctly. 'O great brother, born in Kenya, smuggled into Hawaii.' Oh, my. This does not look good for Jerry Corsi. Yes, I think they're going to burn his book now. Matter of fact, they seem to have -- yeah, they've piled up a lot of -- a lot of his books, and there's a big stake in the middle of the pile." Liddy concluded: "All right, I guess it's all over. Jerry Corsi will not be coming back, but he will live on in our memory. Good man, good man. All right, we've lost the satellite feed. ... But remember, you heard it here first: the death of Jerry Corsi, under torture, by Obama's relatives in Kenya."
- On July 14, 2008 [21], Liddy said of the image [22] of Obama and his wife, Michelle, on the July 21, 2008, cover of The New Yorker: "It's got Obama in his Muslim dress with a turban, and he's there with his wife. His wife has a 'mad at the world' afro, circa 1968, she -- she's got bandoliers and an assault weapon, and there in their fireplace is burning the American flag. The New Yorker finally got it right."
- On July 9, 2008 [23], while discussing a July 8, 2008, speech in which Obama discussed [24] the importance of learning a second language, Liddy claimed that Obama "wants you to be sure your child can speak fluent illegal alien." He added: "Sadly, with every legal and cultural step we take to make our life more immediately convenient for non-English-speaking illegal aliens, we merely feed the beast." Liddy later stated: "You've just heard Barack Obama insisting that we all teach our children Spanish. Well, not mine, no way. 'Round here, let's see, I speak some French, some German as well as English. Franklin [Liddy's producer] speaks fluent French, fluent Italian, as well as English. But none of us here, so far as I know, speak illegal alien."
- Throughout the 2008 presidential campaign, Liddy repeatedly [25] claimed [26] that [27] Obama has not produced a valid birth certificate. In fact, in addition to posting a copy of Obama's birth certificate on the campaign website, the Obama campaign reportedly provided the original document to FactCheck.org, whose staff reported in an August 21, 2008, article [28] that they "have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate" and concluded that it "meets all of the requirements from the State Department for proving U.S. citizenship."
From the February 23 broadcast of Radio America's The G. Gordon Liddy Show:
SANTELLI: You know, people went to war to fight over the freedoms we have. You know, when the press secretary said those things about me, Gordon, I can take it. But I'm a family man. I work hard. I have to put three kids through college. Think about this: Not only did he say I didn't know what I was talking about -- and everybody's entitled to their own opinion -- but he started that press conference saying, "I don't know where he lives, I don't know where his house is." This is the press secretary of the White House. Is that the kind of thing we want? Is that what it --
LIDDY: It's a veiled threat.
SANTELLI: It really is. You know what? This isn't about left or right. I wasn't for any of the bailouts under the last administration. But I don't realize or recall reading the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution where it says that once you vote for somebody in November, you put duct tape over your mouth and you can't say a word for the next four years. That's just not right.
LIDDY: No, it isn't. And that's a veiled threat, you know, "We know where you live," and so forth.
SANTELLI: It really -- it's quite scary. And I'll tell you what, Gordon. I consider myself a member in good standing of the press. And last I looked, there's freedom of the press, freedom of speech. Listen, listeners, I'm not asking you to agree with me. And really, this was never about me. This is about you, your money, how you deal with your government, how your kids will be living over the next 20 years, and when they start to go to work. But even more than that, does it matter what -- how many cars you have or how big your house is if you've worked hard and done it right? To think that is now a litmus test for whether you're a good American or not -- I just don't understand it.
LIDDY: Yeah, well. You know, you mentioned the freedom of the press that presumably we still have. But I would suggest to you that they are working on it. That's this talk of Fairness Doctrine and localism and all the rest of it. They're working on that "freedom of the press" thing.
SANTELLI: Right. And you know, Gordon, there's a lot of people hurting out there. And I've never -- of course, these are my opinions -- I've never thought that we should cut down on jobless claims. As a matter of fact, I think this money needs to be spent on jobs, if we're going to spend money we don't have. But it really has to bring jobs. And we should put more money, as we have, in programs that are good programs. If people get laid off, they need jobless insurance. You know, claims insurance. They need some continued health coverage. I understand that they need to be retrained. All of this is good. But when did a house become an entitlement? It's just not the way the country was founded, and I think we just need to go back to our original principles.
And it's not about charity either, Gordon. You know, people want to be charitable in this country, but the legislature shouldn't take that right away.
LIDDY: But Rick, but didn't a house become an entitlement when the government passed a law that said it was? That's the Community Reinvestment Act.
SANTELLI: You're so right. And see, there's another issue here. You know -- first of all, we've never -- there's no society that's been pure anything, whether it's socialist, capitalist. We don't have a pure capitalist society, just for the reasons you've dictated. You know, Congress over the years, Democrat, Republican, independent, have fueled Freddie and Fannie. They always had, supposedly, an intrinsic but not an explicit guarantee by the government.
Who are we kidding? The government made it clear to investors that, you know, we're going to stand behind them. And then they made them lower standards and do things and extend -- listen, we want everybody to have a house. But we want everybody to have a house they can afford and to do all the right things. And to have income verified, not have institutions and unlicensed mortgage brokers. And nothing against that industry -- I'm sure there's good ones. But you can't have this facade, and then when it all falls apart -- you look at the people that are cutting back and doing the right thing, going out less, trying to figure out how to put their kids through school, to retire -- and think we can pick up the tab. We're burdened as well.
LIDDY: Well, you know, Rick, what's happened is -- and I'm sure it was only by accident -- you have become the educated Joe the Plumber of the finance business.
SANTELLI: Well, truly, Gordon, it wasn't my intention. And anybody who's watched me over the years -- I tend to be impassioned. I can be impassioned when I see a movement in a market, when we get a release at 7:30 Central of statistics regarding employment or GDP. That's just the nature of who I am. I don't really want to be a spokesman, but what I really am very proud of is a) the response that I'm getting, which is overwhelmingly positive, and b) discourse, that is debate. That if the pressure and the heat I'm taking from the White House -- or the fact that my kids are nervous to go to school -- I can take that, OK? If people around their dinner tables really have a vested interest in all these zeros, if they're debating, that's good.
LIDDY: You are so right about debate. And, of course, the administration didn't want anybody to read that.

COLUMBIA, Ky. -- It was a new name
but the same good work was done last week at Lindsey Wilson
For more than a decade, Mission U. -- formerly
known as School of Christian Mission for the Women's Division of
The United Methodist Church -- has held its annual four-day meeting
on LWC's A.P. White Campus.
Mission U. is an opportunity for people of faith to
learn about the historical implications of The United Methodist
Church as well as reflect on spiritual issues of the
Debbie Rowley, dean of the United Methodist Women
of Kentucky, has been involved with the group for more than 20
years and has served in many roles.
"I have helped offices in my local unit, the
district and conference levels," Rowley said. "I was the assistant
dean in 2011 and 2012, and I'm currently serving as the Dean of
Mission U."
Activities at Mission U. included children's study
(ages 6-11) and geographical and social issues studies for adults.
The all-encompassing nature of the program is designed to reach as
many groups as possible.
"United Methodist Women has been on a mission for
more than 140 years," Rowley said. "We are organized for mission,
and our members are committed to growing as disciples of Jesus
Christ in a community with other women and building the lives of
women, children and youth. Mission U. allows us to come together
and learn about the issues we face both locally and around the
Rowley noted that United Methodist women have often
led the way in several important areas.
"We have a history of being ahead of the pack when
identifying issues that impact communities such as immigration, the
political struggles in the Middle East, globalization and climate
change," she said.
Rowley said the LWC campus has played a role in the
program's success because the college has provided a home-like
atmosphere for comfortable study and reflection.
"We have been to other campuses, but Lindsey Wilson
College is so welcoming, beautiful and accessible," she said. "And
did I mention the meals are wonderful?"

But you just hope they're not looking for it all the time because it's not the case all the time. Sometimes you just get tangled up and lose your balance, but you gotta get up, keep going and keep playing."'

Hospital Execs Forecast Higher IT Spending
Admissions will shift significantly from the inpatient to the outpatient setting in 2013 as providers transition to new care delivery models, says a Premier healthcare alliance survey. It also indicates that hospitals will make their biggest capital investments this year in information technology.
In its spring 2013 Economic Outlook, Premier reports that 65% of the 530 survey respondents—mainly hospital C-suite executives and materials and practice area managers—are projecting a decrease in inpatient volume in 2013 compared to 2012.
Accordingly, 69 percent of respondents are projecting an increase in 2013 outpatient volume compared to 2012.
"As these survey results suggest, more care is being shifted to outpatient care sites that are less intensive and expensive, but with lower reimbursement rates," says Premier COO Mike Alkire. "In other words, health systems are adjusting to reimbursement cuts and lower inpatient volumes, while they have a foot in both camps managing the financial transition away from fee-for-service to accountable, pay-for-performance models."

A report headed "Skull fuels Homo erectus debate" was published on the BBC web site on July 2, 2004. The article dealt with a fossilised skull unearthed in Kenya by the palaeontologist Richard Potts and his team, estimated to be some 900,000 years old and the debate over the category it belonged to.
Although the fossil discovery had generally Homo erectus features it possessed a smaller skull than usual. Some evolutionist researchers maintained that it belonged to Homo erectus, while others opposed all fossils dating back to that period being classified as Homo erectus and suggested that this finding indicated the existence of another species.
These debates once again show that the fossil records depicted as support for the scenario of human evolution are far from presenting a picture that is objectively acceptable. Evolutionists who categorise these fossils according to their own lights have not set out concrete lines between categories. Potts words in the BBC interview, "To my mind it is very difficult to say, just from the bones, where the species boundaries lie," is a reflection of this.
The category Homo erectus with which this fossil is linked does not document an assumed transition from an apelike creature towards man, and constitutes no evidence of evolution. The category Homo erectus is a totally artificial one produced from a preconceived perspective based on the uncertainties mentioned in this article. Although Homo erectus is separated from modern-day man, Homo sapiens, only by racial differences, these differences have assumed an inter-species dimension and the fossils have been interpreted according to people"s own prejudices.
For a consideration of the preconceptions that have played a role in the formation of the category Homo erectus, depicted as a transitional species by evolutionists, see:

MCSO attempting to locate missing driver
The Multnomah County Sheriff's Office is currently attempting to locate 29-year-old Kyle Craig Peterson. Kyle Peterson was last seen on Monday, February 26, 2014, at about 8:19 pm. Kyle Peterson was the driver and single occupant of a vehicle involved in a crash on SE Stark St. near SE 35th St. in Troutdale, OR.
Troutdale Police initially responded to the accident and made contact with the driver of the vehicle Kyle Peterson. As the officer talked with Mr. Peterson, he turned and walked away from the officer and vehicle into a heavily wooded area southeast of the scene. The officer repeatedly told the person to stop knowing the terrain he was walking into was hazardous. Peterson kept walking into the woods and did not respond. He has not been seen since then. MCSO deputies arrived shortly after Mr. Peterson walked off and an MCSO k-9 was called to assist in a search of the immediate area. After unsucessful search efforts, MCSO Search and Rescue was notified and MCSO and Troutdale PD detectives have assisted in attempts to locate Mr. Peterson. Search and Rescue efforts and canvassing have been conducted in the area and MCSO River Patrol has also assisted with search efforts along the Sandy River in the area of Stark St. Anyone with information about Mr. Peterson is asked to call 911 or MCSO Records at 503-255-3600. MCSO Case # 14-401262.

Initially, Jean Pierre made only Côtes du Rhône, but steeply
rising grape prices in 1976 caused him to switch to Côtes
du Ventoux and eventually to produce a white wine from
the mountainous Côtes du Luberon. La Vieille Ferme was introduced to the United
States in 1970. The response was an immediate, overwhelming
acceptance and an outpouring of critical acclaim from
eminently knowledgeable critics who recognized La Vieille Ferme
for its consistently fine quality and value.
In the glass, this medium bodied Chardonnay exhibits tropical fruit aromas, followed by pear and melon flavors all wrapped up with a juicy, full finish.
This refreshing Chardonnay complements a wide range of foods including roasted chicken, grilled fish, mild cheeses and pasta with light cream sauces.

Freixenet wines reflect the excellent chalky soils and prime growing conditions that
shape the character of each bottle.
Freixenet winemaker Josep Bujan gives his all to the wines, blending technology, tradition and a deep understanding of the Penedès terroir. One of Spain's premier enologists,
Josep is active and connected in the international wine industry, and mentors a number of young winemakers. His work draws from deep winemaking heritage reaching back to the original yeast strains developed
by Dolores Ferrer, many of which are still in use today.
Our cavas have benefited from his knowledge for more than three decades, making Josep an integral part of the Freixenet family and the success of Freixenet wines. His commitment to quality and consistency has enabled
Freixenet to become the world's leading cava producer.
The Dalle family makes every effort to produce wines that are true to the "terroir" of the Costieres de Nimes.
Château de Campuget wines are produced by respecting tradition while utilizing the most modern oenological techniques. Although equipped with stainless-steel tanks and modern tools, wines are made and matured in a traditional way, and quality is strictly controlled from the vineyard to the bottle. Chateau De Campuget's main varieties are Syrah and Grenache Noir for the grapevines classified in AOC. For white wines, the company uses Roussanne and Grenache Blanc in Costieres de Nimes and Chardonnay in Vin de Pays.
Serve as an aperitif or after brunch, lunch or dinner. Enjoy with dessert – from simple fresh fruit to sophisticated pastries. The "IL" Moscato also serves as an excellent complement to spicier cuisine such as Indian or Thai.
The mellow acidity and balance of toast and citrus in
this Chardonnay make it a great wine to stand alone or
pair nicely with food. A chicken sandwich with grilled
pineapple would complement this wine well, as
would a Caesar salad with grilled shrimp.
For people who appreciate wine without the
pretense, Smoking Loon is the full-bodied California
varietal wine that celebrates independent character
and a Bohemian personality by going beyond a single
plot of land or a château, to explore the best vineyards
in each vintage through our négociant relationships.
Smoking Loon has been recognized as a Value Brand of the Year by Wine & Spirits magazine (2005).
Beautiful scents of raspberry and cherry on the nose with fresh, clean strawberry and cherry flavors in the mouth and a consistent bead. The finish is clean and crisp and invites another sip.
Cristalino Brut Rose Cava is an excellent match for fried appetizers such as calamari or light desserts such as creme brulee. It is also excellent on its own or with fresh fruit.
Did you get a bottle with a gold label rather than this white label? No worries, it's still the same great Cava. Cristalino is undergoing a label change and released some bottles with the original packaging and some with the white label packaging.
The white varietals of Parellada, Chardonnay, Macabeo and Xarel-lo are grown in Jaume Serra's vineyards situated in the Alt Penedés, a sub region of the Penedés, and are used to produce the area's famous sparkling wines, called "Cava". By law, Cava must be made in the Methode Champenois or Champagne Method. Due to European regulations prohibiting use of that term, Cava is now labeled as Methode Tradicional, which has the same requirements with an added stipulation that cava must age for a minimum of nine months on the lees before release. After researching local yeasts, the Jaume Serra winery has taken the extraordinary step of importing their yeast from Champagne, France in order to impart the finest quality to their Cavas.

"After years of healing from painful past relationships, Bryan and I didn't know if we would ever love or marry again. With our futures completely in God's hands, we both took a big leap of faith by joining ChristianMingle."
It seemed almost impossible to meet someone on our little island in Hawaii, but we found each other right away! We began messaging, and we met for our first date within a week of our first message. On our first date we felt as if we had known each other forever. We both walked away from the date with a shocking, but exciting, sense that we had just met our future husband or wife.
We talked to or saw each other every day from that point on, and as we prayed, God continued to give us assurance that He had brought us together. Bryan proposed on a romantic sunset cruise just three weeks after our first date! We both felt very strongly that God didn't want us to wait to start our lives together. We set a wedding date, and we were married less than three months after our first contact on ChristianMingle. We made the sacred covenant of marriage before God and our closest friends and family on November 1st, 2014.
Since being married, God has continued to show us how He perfectly wove our paths together. We are still overwhelmed daily by what He has done, and we love sharing how God used ChristianMingle as part of our story. Our first year of marriage has been absolutely wonderful, and we are closer than we ever imagined two people could be in just a year's time. We are best friends who are grateful every day for this second chance at true love and happiness, and God gets all of the glory!

Top 10 Tips for Success with Formal Analysis Part 3
1 Comment
This article is the final in a series of three offering the top 10 tips for the successful use of formal analysis on IP and SoC projects. As a reminder, the first and second installments presented the following six tips:
- Tip 1: Involve designers in property specification and, whenever possible, in formal analysis
- Tip 2: Apply formal analysis early in the project so that engineers specifying properties see an immediate payoff
- Tip 3: Leverage all forms of automatic assertions, from basic design checkers through assertion synthesis
- Tip 4: Leverage assertion-based IP (ABVIP) for standard protocols, especially for on-chip buses
- Tip 5: Leverage formal apps such as connectivity checking for highly multi-plexed SoC pins
- Tip 6: Recognize the value of formal analysis for both proving assertions and finding design and specification bugs
Shifting from assertions to coverage, unreachable coverage is the corollary to a proven assertion. When formal analysis proves an assertion, it mathematically determines that there is no legal path from the inputs (within the bounds of the input assumptions) that can violate the assertion. Similarly, an unreachable cover is one for which there is no path from the inputs that can reach the cover. The main difference is that unreachability analysis can be performed with few if any input assumptions; if a cover is unreachable with no assumptions, it is also unreachable with them. This leads to the following tip:
Tip 7: Use formal analysis to improve simulation coverage results by checking for unreachable coverage
Simulation has no concept of unreachability, so it is common for IP and SoC project teams to spend a lot of time and effort trying to hit covers that may be unreachable. Formal analysis can analyze PSL and SVA cover properties and may find that some of them are, in fact, impossible to reach. Combining these results with simulation is very useful since it signals to the verification team that they should stop trying to hit these covers and instead look at why they are unreachable. This analysis may reveal a design bug, such as part of a design being walled off.
In the Cadence® metric-driven verification (MDV) flow, common types of code coverage can be handled by formal analysis as well as simulation. These unreachability results are especially valuable, since most projects rely more on code coverage than PSL/SVA covers for signoff. As with cover properties, verification engineers should not simply toss out unreachable code coverage. Instead, they should analyze each cover to ensure that it really should be unreachable and is not the symptom of a design bug.
A recent Freescale Semiconductor paper described how their verification team used code-coverage unreachability analysis in the Cadence MDV flow to identify coverage that should be excluded from the reported results. [1] This allowed the team to achieve coverage closure more quickly and remove the dead code after approval by the designer. The Freescale team also used formal analysis to reach coverage that they had not yet hit in simulation.
Tip 8: Use formal analysis to help with coverage convergence by showing how to hit tough coverage
The use of formal analysis for coverage unreachability leads naturally to the question of whether formal techniques can help hit covers that are reachable. In fact, formal analysis can target a cover just as it does an assertion, trying to generate a path from the inputs (within the bounds of the input assumptions) to reach the cover. Many formal tools can target PSL and SVA cover properties directly. Others, as in the Cadence MDV flow, can also target code coverage. In either case, the formal results can be combined with the simulation results.
Verification teams most often think of using formal analysis to try to hit coverage not reached in simulation, generally late in the project. When SoC or IP teams are spinning their wheels trying to hit unexercised covers, some of those covers may be unreachable but others may just be hard to reach. Either way, formal analysis can often provide an answer. However, there is no particular reason to wait until late in the project. Some teams use formal analysis to hit coverage early in the project, before a simulation testbench is even available.
There is one important difference between determining coverage unreachability and hitting covers with formal analysis. The latter requires a reasonably complete set of input assumptions since it is not fair to take credit for reaching a cover with an illegal input sequence. Hitting either an assertion or a cover generally requires input assumptions, while proving assertions or determining coverage unreachability is usually done with minimal assumptions. To a formal tool, assertions and covers are very similar in concept.
Just as complex assertions in complex designs cannot always be hit or proven, sometimes formal analysis will neither reach a cover nor prove it unreachable. It is possible that simulation will hit an assertion or a cover that is too complex for formal analysis if it just happens to exercise the right path. In practice, this is not very common except on very large designs that really stretch the capacity limits of formal algorithms. In some cases, the best results can be achieved by using formal analysis and simulation together in an intertwined fashion.

Elderly couple, married 70 years, die within hours of each other
(Nashport, Ohio (AP)) - An Ohio couple who held hands at breakfast every morning even after 70 years of marriage died 15 hours apart from each other.
Helen Felumlee of Nashport in Central Ohio died on April 12. She was 92. Her husband, 91-year-old Kenneth Felumlee, died 15 hours later.
The couple's children say that the two were inseparable ever since they met when they were teenagers.
The Zanesville Times Recorder reports that the pair married on Feb. 20, 1944, and raised eight children.
Their daughter, Linda Cody, says the two were deeply in love all the way until the end.
Cody says that her father began to face about 12 hours after her mother died, and told them that he didn't want to leave her by herself.

Afternoon Nap
How important is an afternoon nap for a toddler? I have a two year old son and he is very healthy and active. I've noticed lately that he is skipping he's afternoon nap. He plays a lot until his usual time for his nap in the afternoon. He cries when I tell him that it's nap time already. There are times that I have to force him to sleep which I feel bad about because he cries until he falls asleep. Does my son really need to have an afternoon nap?
5th February 2014 07:06 AM #2
Dear mom me,
Thank you for your question.
It is actually the total amount of sleep that a child gets in a 24 hour period which is important. A two year old should get 13 hours of sleep in a 24 hour period. Whilst some 2 year olds still have a nap many get all of their sleep at night-time.
From what you describe, it sounds like your son is ready to transition to dropping his daytime nap. I would be led by him. As long as he is getting approximately 13 hours of sleep at night-time you don't need to worry. Forcing him to have a nap when he does not feel tired could make him feel negatively about going to sleep so I would not advocate following this approach. Instead, listen to what he is saying/ follow the signs he is showing you and allow him to miss a nap on days he does not seem he needs one. You may start to find that on these days he sleeps a bit longer at night-time.
You may also find that some days he wants a nap and other days he doesn't; again this is fine. Eventually he will stop having a nap altogether but I would follow your child's lead and look out for sleepy signs in the daytime to help you know if he needs a nap that day.
Warm wishes,

Dear LJ,
Thank you so much for your reply! This is very informative. I noticed that he sleeps early at night when he doesn't get a nap in the daytime. He sleeps for 10 to 12 hours. I think it's possible that he'll soon drop the daytime nap. It's good to know that it's fine and it's normal to happen.
Right now, I'm watching out for signs when he wants a nap or if he feels like being up and just sleep at night time. The other day, he had his nap and it feels good because I did not force him. I noticed that he slept a bit late in the evening that day. I just have to take note of the total number of hours of sleep he's getting.
Thank you so much for your wonderful reply LJ! You're a great help.

Dear mom me,
I'm so pleased that this information was helpful for you.
It sounds like your son is starting to show you that some days he doesn't need his nap. As you say, it is likely that he will go to bed earlier on these days and so sleep more at night-time. Gradually he will transition to no nap so that he is going to bed at a similar time every day.
Sleep is so important at this age. I applaud you for wanting to make sure your son is getting enough sleep. Many children can become chronically over-tired but your son sounds like he is getting the sleep he needs.
Warm wishes,

Snow in Tahoe may be jokingly referred to as Sierra cement, but that's all the better for Northstar's crew of crafty snow masons. They've climbed the ranks year after year, and according to SPT boss Chris Gunnarson, "It's a result of very committed resort management as well as a talented and passionate park crew, led by Chris Castaneda and the Snow Park Technologies team." Enhanced snowmaking over the last few years has allowed the crew to fill the dirt skeleton of Northstar's Superpipe with gleaming walls full of sweet pop while their distinguished pro team including Andy Finch and Chas Guldemond consistently add input to better its features and claim this number three spot.

Ratings for Dr. Yaara Dror
Good caring doctor. She will respond quickly by email within the PAMF online system if you have any question.
Dr. Dror has been my primary care doctor for over 17 years. I am so pleased with her care and her knowledge. I would recommend her to anyone who suffers with pain or depresssion because she can refer you to great specialists. She is genuine and cares about her patients. I get a call from her when she knows I am notdoing well. Olivia is great too!
I have been seeing Dr. Dror ofr almost 10 years. When I had my 3 children I also brought them to her. Now my husband has also decided to see Dr. Dror as his primary physician. When I was suffering badly with depression after my babies she was extremely helpful, understanding and even called me at home to see how I was doing. I have not had a doctor that genuinely cares as much as she does. The bad thing about it is that we are moving soon and will be too far away from her clinic so we may have to change to another doctor. We will be about 2.5 hours away. I don't think we can make that drive (5 hour drive for a doctor apoointment) and if we could convince her to move with us we would. :-)
Dr. Yaara Dror is a committed medical professional who works hard and cares for her patients. She is well read and up-to-date on medicine. Her specialty is Family Medicine and she is good with all ages & genders (I am male.) She has helped me with insomnia (stress of divorce), depression, and on-going care as I grow older. My teen-age kids trust her. My wife chooses to get all her well-woman care from Dr. Dror and finds her gentle and through. If you asked me for one thing I would change, it would be she would refer us to specialists more for detailed evaluation, especially for chronic ills (like GERD) and anti-depression prescription & dosages. But I know she is used to dealing with families with no, or minimal, insurance coverage and wants to conserve patient $$. I am glad that she is my family's Dr! FYI: By the time you read this she will be Mountain View Clinic-based, not Sunnyvale.
Dr. Dror is an excellent physician. I have been under her care for 8 years. Six months ago, I saw her for asthma problems and found out I had a blocked coronary artery. I was sent to a cardiologist and put in a coronary stent. She saved my life!
Dr. Dror is very kind and helpful. I saw her mostly for regular checkup. However, I think her specialty is pediatric.

Your Feminist History Lesson For The Day: The ERA
When people are being really annoying about the whole "do we still need feminism" thing, I find it less effective to start listing the thousands of reasons why we do, and more effective to slam whatever ignoramus I'm talking to with one solid reason…backed up by those other reasons, of course. That's right: I break out the ERA.
Now, young feminist grasshoppers, as your resident feminist sensi, I feel that I must pass down the defense of the ERA to all of you, especially since it's something that even the greatest of young feminists don't really know about or understand (blame the dumbass history textbooks/courses/teachers who feel it's more important to get on to Reagan than it is to talk about women's history).

His eyes were the same color as the horns of the Red Bull. He was taller than Schmendrick, and though his face was bitterly lined there was nothing fond or foolish in it. It was a pike's face: the jaws long and cold, the cheeks hard, the lean neck alive with power.
Dry cedar, bitter balsam, and ashes.
Overall this is a startling dry scent. You could almost leave it as its notes-- it smells like ashes and cedar. The cedar isn't sharp like cedar can be. It's the dried, splintery kind that you can't activate with sand paper. There is a bitter quality to it that speaks of something else, un-nameable, in the mix. I can't imagine this being a person, more like the withered, husk of what a person once could have been. In keeping it in mind that this is King Haggard, it makes me kind of sad. If a scent could be lonely, this would be the one.

Bull City ReduxBy Nicole Rudick
On view as part of the New York Public Library's recent exhibition "Play Things"—on prints and photographs that deal in some way with games and recreation—was a series of nine baseball cards made in 1975 by artist Mike Mandel. Originally packaged with sticks of Topps gum, the cards feature some heavy hitters at bat, pitching, and fielding: Joel Meyerowitz (2), who prefers Kodachrome film; Aaron Siskind (66), whose favorite developer is Mircodol-X; and Betty Hahn (54), who likes to shoot with a Nikon. Oh, didn't I mention—they're photographer trading cards.
Mandel made them (there are 134 in all) in order to satirize, and frustrate, the commercial art market: the only way to collect all the cards is by making trades. Mandel's link between photography and baseball is apt for another reason: baseball, a famously uneventful sport, is a game in which players and fans spend a lot of time observing—each other, the stands, the field, the sky—and what is photography if not the art of observing?

SPECIALIST crews continued to vacuum asbestos from grass, roads and backyards in Sydney's east on Sunday night, after storm damage closed several streets in Malabar. Sheets of asbestos flew into the backyards of homes when winds of up to 100km/h ripped off part of the Malabar RSL's roof.
Fire and Rescue NSW Hazmat crews cleaned contaminated debris from the roads and police blocked off Ireton, Victoria and Prince Edward streets and Bilga Crescent for up to 24 hours.
It was a ''once a year'' kind of storm that battered the state in the early hours of Sunday, the Bureau of Meteorology's forecaster Chris Webb said.
In just a few hours, a band of very heavy rainfall and damaging winds made its way from the central coast, swept across the city, and continued on its way down south. Barely a suburb was left untouched. It caused flash flooding, uprooted trees and damaged cars, businesses and more than 200 homes.
Some suburbs recorded decade-high rainfall. Others were hit by wind gusts of more than 100km/h. A State Emergency Service spokeswoman described ''mini tornadoes'' in the city's south-west. About 17,000 people lost power across Sydney, the central coast and the Hunter, Ausgrid said.
While it appeared to strike from nowhere, the storm had been brewing for about a week, becoming increasingly aggressive as it crept down from tropical Queensland. It peaked just as it hit Sydney. At 12.21am, Sydney Harbour recorded a gust of 135km/h.
About that time, the storm stretched from the eastern suburbs to Homebush. By 1.30am it hovered over Helensburgh and 90 minutes later it drenched the south coast. At Albion Park, 18 millimetres of rain fell in 10 minutes. Nowra's 24-hour total of 94 millimetres was a five-year high.
The Blue Mountains were also soaked, with Blackheath recording its heaviest daily total in at least 17 years with 173 millimetres. Further west, Lithgow exceeded its monthly average in just 24 hours.
By morning, the storm was nearing the Victorian border. But in NSW, the SES's phones were ringing non-stop. By yesterday afternoon they had received almost 5000 calls for assistance. An SES spokeswoman, Becky Gollings, said the worst-affected areas included Malabar, Randwick, Narellan and Kiama. At Kiama, about 80 homes and a fire station were damaged. About 85 homes were damaged near Narellan and about 40 near Randwick.
On the mid-north coast, major flooding caused havoc on Sunday, with highways closed, towns cut off and several people rescued. Low-lying parts of Port Macquarie, Kempsey, Grafton and surrounding towns were inundated and 20,000 people were left isolated in 37 communities.
Two people died in flood-related accidents over the weekend. Luke O'Neill, 17, was sucked into a drainpipe on Friday night as he was collecting golf balls in waist-deep water in the town of Kew. Early on Saturday afternoon, the body of a man was found in his submerged car on a flooded road at Mylneford, about 20 kilometres from Grafton.
Forecasters expect widespread rainfall across the state on Monday and Tuesday, with most parts of Sydney likely to pick up between five and 10 millimetres.
