One day Boudreaux and Thibodaux were watching TV. A good commercial about a movie came on and it said, "Coming To A Theatre Near You."
Boudreaux looked at Thibodaux and said, "Thib, how they know where we live?

Oh, Boudreaux!!ReplyDelete
I may have told you this, but up here we have similar jokes, but they're "Ollie and Lena" jokes. Usually a similar punchline, but with a different accent. :P Also, more likely to involve ice fishing.
I've heard those on Prairie Home Companion. So much fun in any accent! :-)ReplyDelete

The Adidas Adipure are some of the finest soccer cleats within the game. These soccer shoes are worn by many elite soccer players, and they've been worn by superstar German international Toni Kroos. The midfielder has won many major trophies and is currently being pursued by many of the world's best teams, so he must be doing something right. Could it be his Adidas Adipure boots? Lighter and more durable than all that comes before them, these are a must have for all who love the game of soccer.

Read each of the following passages and answer the items that follow. Your answers to these items should be based on the passages only.
Long ago goods were manufactured by craftsmen, who were skilled workmen. A craftsman was proud of each article he made. He spent a long time in making it and took great care over its manufacture, and people paid a high price for it when it was finished. All the luxurious Persian carpets, the beautiful Chinese pottery and the hand-made laces of certain European countries were made this way. But these articles were bought only by the rich. Poorer people had to be satisfied with goods that were roughly and cheaply made.
When the population of Europe increased, there was a demand for goods of better quality. These goods had to be produced in factories and workshops where hundreds of workers were employed. The invention of the steam engine helped manufacturers by giving them cheaper power to work their machines. Machines took the place of men. Production was increased. People were able to buy articles of good quality at low prices. The age of mass production means the manufacture of a large number of identical articles by the use of machinery. Cars, radios and cameras are examples of the many types of articles that are mass produced today.
A conveyor belt plays a large part in mass production. By means of the conveyor belt which moves continuously, articles are conveyed from point to point during the various stages in their manufacture. A lot of time is saved in this way.
A visit to a factory is an interesting experience. Take, for example, a biscuit factory. The whole process of biscuit-making is done by machinery. First of all, the ingredients such as flour, sugar, fat and water are put into a mixing machine. The mixture comes out of the mixing machine in the form of dough and is passed on to machine that processes the dough into moulds.
In these moulds the dough is given that shape of biscuit. Then the biscuits are carried by a conveyor belt to the oven. As they move though the oven they are slowly cooked. When they are cool, they are taken off the moving belt by workers and packed into boxes. The boxes are weighed, made air-tight and wrapped. Then they are ready to leave the factory.
Goods produced in factories and workshops were cheaper because

This weekend, the Treasury released officials' projections from before the tax change of its likely consequences. Mandarins certainly foresaw the ensuing fuss, warning that pension funds would react with "clamour and public consternation...Ministers' postbags will be pretty full." Unsurprising perhaps, since the estimated cost would be over £3bn a year. The documents were sufficient excuse for the Conservatives to launch another attack on a chancellor preparing to become prime minister. It was, they declared, evidence that Mr Brown had been "conning the country".
Big words for such a little measure. After all, what the opposition have spent the last decade referring to as Gordon Brown's great pensions raid was simply the removal of an obscure benefit that allowed pension funds to claim back the tax on share dividends. Norman Lamont had already squeezed the credit so that it was worth no more than tuppence for every 10p dividend. No surprise then that civil servants thought "pension schemes should be able to cope with the change" and that, in many cases, employers would make good any shortfall. Even if we accept the pension funds' own verdict that the credit's abolition cost them £5bn a year, it is hardly much for a trillion-pound industry which can lose (or make) more than that on the markets in a week. No wonder that on July 2 1997, as the chancellor sat down the stock market actually rose. All this gives the lie to the idea that the 1997 budget was the key to our pensions' decline. True, it was unhelpful - but so was the widespread habit of the "pension holiday", with many firms holding off from paying into their workers' schemes during the stockmarket bull run. There are lots of reasons why so many workers are now so worried about how much they will have to live on during their retirement. But the two big ones are simply that we can expect to live longer, so our pensions will have to stretch further, and that interest rates have fallen, so our schemes are no longer earning as much. These are global forces and to keep harping on about the loss of a solitary tax break is like a passenger on the Titanic getting miffed about losing a card game: there are rather bigger issues to worry about.
What makes these documents more than a stroll down memory lane - a kind of actuarial I Love 1997 - are the lessons it provides for the resident of No 11 as he prepares to move next door. One is political and has to do with how the papers came out. It took two years for journalists to secure their release under the Freedom of Information Act and the Treasury tried repeatedly to block them. These memos may provide ammunition for Mr Brown's enemies but the secrecy only gives further potency.
The other lesson is one of policy. The abolition of dividend tax credits was meant as a spur to companies to think long-term: less about rewarding shareholders and more about investment. The files show officials were doubtful it would do this. Yet the chancellor ploughed on, making it a key measure in his inaugural budget. It was a statement as much as a policy, with one consequence highlighted and the rest ignored. As his fabled first hundred days loom, Mr Brown should beware setting policy just to make a point.

Hiking at Finlayson Arm on southern Vancouver Island formed the second part of my rare day off yesterday after that wonderful introduction to kayaking in Saanich Inlet.
Finlayson Arm is a reach of water extending from Saanich Inlet. Being fjord-like it has steep sides so I expected good views across it to the Malahat where the main Vancouver Island highway passes.
I was planning to explore trails in the southern end of Gowlland Tod Provincial Park, one of many BC Parks in our area, which flanks Finlayson Arm on the Victoria side. The starting point is at Caleb Pike Access (more of him later). I took the wider southern trail surrounded by foxgloves (favourites of mine) and dragonflies doing their whirly-birds acts. This route was somewhat disappointing so I suggest you ignore it and just go north following signs to Holmes Peak. This is allegedly 1.3km but don't believe them; they're for optimists. Actually the signage could be better says one who strayed off the track more than once. Anyway the whole 2.5 hours on different trails did produce some great elevated views, as above. To add to the pleasure, I met no one at all en route. The paths were quite rugged at times but the runners I wear for gardening at the B&B were adequate.
I needed to return to the B&B but wanted to stop first at the nearby Caleb Pike House. As you can see this is an old homestead full of character if lacking in comfort (though somehow it has a sitting room, kitchen and five bedrooms).
Caleb Pike was an early colonist (what else with a name like that) who arrived from England in 1849. He and his two sons started building this house in a remote setting whose return trip to Victoria by horse and buggy took a full day. I want to bring Linda back here and we can try to get a sense of what life was like then.

|700 sq. ft.
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 - 4 nights
Enjoy miles of magnificent marine views that end in mainland views of the Cascade mountains with Mt. Baker and Bellingham to the east, the mountains of British Columbia to the north, and the city lights of Vancouver BC and the ski lifts at night. Watch a variety of marine vessels make their way across the strait of Georgia, including boaters of all types whose destinations are several smaller islands within a few miles of the cottage. Walk along hillside trails on this 11 acre parcel that includes old growth trees and native flora. Bald and golden eagles nests are located on the property. Watch for eagles soaring past or looking down on you from an old growth tree. Many other species of birds are also seen and heard about the property. Relax in the cozy atmosphere of the cottage with comfortable furnishings that include sofa and easy chair with movable down overstuffed pillows and large ottoman. The wood stove and large picture windows looking over the water create a relaxing ambiance.
Why the Owner Chose Eastsound: : Our first Orcas Island project was a chalet that we built in 1996 a mile west of our present site. We found the 2/3 acre and proximity to neighbors and traffic, although light, going by to be distracting from our relaxation and feeling of peace. We think that the north shore views are the best on the island, so we wanted to stay here. In 1999 we purchased the present 11 acres and built the cottage in 2004.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage:: Year Purchased: 2004 - The sheer natural beauty of the place starting with the fantastic views and peaceful woods, the variety of birds ranging from eagles to hummingbirds, the quiet, the ability to start a short walk or long hike from the front door, the healing effect the place has on our spirits, lots of wild black raspberries in season, the varieties of wildflowers, the full moon rising over and reflecting on the water. We could keep going on, but this is a good start.
Owner Description/Comments:: We are a professional couple, a teacher and psychiatric nurse practitioner. After falling in love with Orcas Island in the mid 90's, we made a long-term goal of living here full time. In August of 2007 we achieved that goal. We like the feeling of community, and appreciate the high quality of the environment, the arts, and the natural foods that are all abundant here. We love the outdoors and spend as much time as possible working, walking, beach combing, and relaxing outside.
I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a private practice here on the island. My former husband Don and I fell in love with Orcas Island in the mid 90's, and we made a long-term goal of living here full time. In August of 2007 we achieved that goal. We like the feeling of community, and appreciate the high quality of the environment, the arts, and the natural foods that are all abundant here. Unfortunately my husband tragically died a year ago in March of 2014. It was a shock, but I am an even stronger believer in this community since the tragedy. I
love the outdoors and spend as much time as possible working, walking, beachcombing, and relaxing outside. I currently have a wonderful garden full of flowers and some veggies. I grew up on a farm in NE and I guess you just can't take the country out of the girl. I love working with people and enjoy an eclectic mix of rural practice and the arts here are outstanding.
Carla Weston purchased this cottage in 2004
Our first Orcas Island project was a chalet that we built in 1996 a mile west of our present site. We found the 2/3 acre and proximity to neighbors and traffic, although light, going by to be distracting from our relaxation and feeling of peace. We think that the north shore views are the best on the island, so we wanted to stay here. In 1999 we purchased the present 11 acres and built the cottage in 2004. We lived in the cottage in 2007 while we constructed the main house. This property is unique in that it has this outrageous view of the Salish Sea and the mountains of British Columbia. We also see Mount Baker. We have a surprisingly large amount of sunshine for being on the 'northshore'. Our view is approx 180degrees.
Close to Eastsound is a plus. Only ten minutes away, but you feel isolated on the property the way we are situated. We are about a 1/3 mile down the driveway and don't see any neighbors. The property is treed as well. There is a lot of wild-life and trails to walk. The sunrises, moonrises etc. are exceptional. The cottage is cozy and perfect for a couple.
My wife and I really enjoyed staying at Carla's place. Everything was exactly as listed and very clean. The view over the sound was just gorgeous and we had a really wonderful, tranquil experience during our week there. You feel as if you're in the middle of nowhere even though you're a short drive over to town. I'd definitely stay there again.
We enjoyed our three-night stay in Carla's peaceful one-bedroom getaway high above the water. The living area was cozy and the bed very comfortable. There's a large kitchen area if you want to cook, as well as a deck with a grill. The location is private and slightly remote , but not far from places like Moran State Park and Turtleback Mountain South Trail, where we enjoyed great hiking, the town of Eastsound where we had fun exploring the shops and co-op, and Crescent Beach where we experienced a relaxing walk with beautiful views. The property was clean and well-maintained, and Carla was very responsive when we had a slight problem. We would stay again!
My wife and I chose Carla's place for our honeymoon, and could not have been more pleased with our choice. We arrived to a bouquet of handpicked flowers and a lovely note from Carla. She really made it such a relaxed, easy process from our initial inquiry to the end of our time on the island. The view was incredible (even better than the pictures show), and the cottage was perfect. I was a little concerned that there would be dog hair on the furniture (given Carla's pet-friendliness), but to our delight there was none. My wife and I can't wait to head back to Orcas Island, and will absolutely spend our future trips in Carla's cottage.
We had a most wonderful vacation on Orcas Island and Carla's cottage was the perfect spot for us to stay. Staying in the cottage felt like living in a tree house above the sea. All of the windows and wrap around deck offer the most amazing views and it was incredibly quiet and peaceful. My favorite experience was lying on the cozy couch with my boys and watching the sky light up during an electrical storm. And this was after a gorgeous sunset!
The cottage was cozy and comfortable with a great kitchen that was stocked with all we needed to make several meals. Carla was a great host who took us on a fun walk around the property, pointing out an eagles nest and how to judge the tides by the view of rocks in the Salish sea.
We hope to come and visit again!
This home has incredible views from the city of Vancouver way up in Canada and South to an astounding front row view of Mt Baker in all it's glory. Nice furnishings and very quiet. A big plus is Carla really does like dogs.
We had a great time on Orcas Island and this home and location were ideal. Carla is a very nice hostess and her dogs are very friendly when they were on the property. We will definitely return to this property. Ideal for active people. Great remote feel yet close to Eastsound services (Island Hopper Brewery!).
Just like Goldilocks said, "This one is just right".
Let's start with the view. We were blessed with sunshine revealing snow capped Mt Baker across the deep blue sound. At night, the lights of Bremerton sparkled across the water. We spent the first full day on the deck, reading, taking pictures. and talking about the view! Add in a beautiful pair of eagles, and deep green forest and it's heaven on earth.
The apartment is quaint and comfy, equipped with all the essentials. Great mattress and linens. If you require top of the line finishes and accessories, this is not the place for you. But it's clean, warm and cute. Some of the cooking utensils and BBQ need to be replaced, but if you're not on vacation to cook, don't let that stop you. Everything is passable.
My husband and I love dogs and hate to leave our two beasts behind when we travel by air. To our delight, and one of the reasons we rented Carla's place, her two dogs were on the property most days and evenings. Behemoth, black, barking dogs. And so sweet! They accompanied us on walks, stopping obediently at the property line, and we threw sticks and toys and rocks for Jack the indefatigable retriever. Volkie, the vocal black shepherd, doesn't do fetch but enjoys barking at Jack as he carries around his treasures. Carla, thoughtfully, has provided a gate to keep the dogs off the deck and out of the house, which we used sparingly, but if u aren't into dogs you'd never know they're there with the gate closed.
We had a snafu with the bed breaking the first night, but Carla brought over tools and hung out while my husband fixed it. She is a warm hostess and responded quickly to our problem.
The location was great--ten minutes from East Sound, but so secluded in the forest, we never heard or saw another human when we were home. Had a great time whale watching with Eclipse. Highly recommend them.
In short, we'll be back!
Eastsound, Orcas Island, San Juan Islands, Washington State, USA (Less Than 4 Miles from Eastsound). Our property offers the best of both mountain and waterfront settings.

U.S. men top Haiti in U-20 opener, 2-1
PUEBLA, Mexico -- The United States scored twice in the opening 26 minutes and held on to defeat Haiti, 2-1, in its Group A opener of the CONCACAF Under-20 Men's Championship on Monday night.
The Americans need a tie against Costa Rica in its second and final group match against Costa Rica to clinch a quarterfinal berth. That game is set for Friday at 6:30 p.m. (FOX Soccer).
The top two teams in each of the four three-team groups will qualify for the quarterfinals. The four quarterfinal winners will qualify for the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup, which will be played in Turkey later this year. The U.S. is looking to qualify for its 13th U-20 World Cup.
"It was a difficult match for us," U.S. head coach Tab Ramos said. "We knew that Haiti had very good players. I think we did a good job in the first half, coming out strong and trying to put the game away. I felt that if we didn't get that third goal before halftime there was a good chance if [Haiti] got a goal that somehow it would turn into a game and it did."
Midfielder Luis Gil lifted the Americans into a 1-0 lead with a penalty kick in the third minute before they doubled the margin on a Daniel Cuevas score in the 26th minute at Estadio Olímpico Universitario Lobos.
The Americans wasted little time gaining the upper hand when Cuevas got around his defender on the left sideline, but was tripped just inside the box by a Haiti defender. Gil slotted the kick into the right side of the net for the 1-0 lead as goalkeeper Ronald Elusma dove in the wrong direction. It was Gil's third career goal with the U-20s in seven appearances.
Gil almost had a second goal when he made a darting run into the penalty area on Jose Villarreal's corner kick from the right side in the 17th minute, but his low header bounced hard off the pitch and over the crossbar.
Haiti never wavered and pushed into the attack with some quick runs up front and created some half-chances in front of the American net.
Gil started the scoring sequence on the second goal from the middle with a pass to Mario Rodriguez on the right flank. Rodriguez crossed to am open Cuevas at the back post. Cuevas powered home his shot into the upper right side netting for a 2-0 lead. Cuevas has scored three goals in a dozen U-20 games.
"I was wide open down the side on the back post," Cuevas said. "The defender ran in to cover the center so I had a lot of time. I got to control it and looked at where I wanted to shoot, too."
In fact, the hostile crowd helped pumped up Cuevas.
"I was really happy with what I accomplished in this game," he said. "The environment motivated me. The crowd was booing us. I just wanted to play well, and luckily things worked the way we wanted them to. I got the goal, we got the PK and we scored, and we got the win."
The Haitians came out on the attack after halftime, going with three men in the back. They found the back of the net in the 49th minute. Wilberne Augusmat, who was dangerous all game, got the ball inside the penalty area, moved around a defender and struck a close-range shot that was just out of the reach of goalkeeper Cody Cropper.
"Right after they scored their goal, there was about a 10-minute period where we really struggled to get the ball out of the back," Ramos said. "I think once we made a couple of substitutions the game changed a little bit. I was a little bit disappointed that we weren't able to get that third goal late in the first half or early in the second half."
Despite the goal, U.S. defender Shane O'Neill thought he and his teammates did a decent of stopping Haiti.
"I thought we did a pretty good job, especially in the first half," he said. "We caught them offside quite a few times. We were playing well. In the second half, we got a little flustered and a little unorganized. They scored one goal and we kept it tight once they scored that one goal, and it was good that we didn't let them tie the game."

Rudolph, Arthur Louis Hugo (1906–1996)
In 1984, nearly a decade after he retired, the Department of Justice accused Rudolph of participating in a slave-labor program, which ultimately involved the deaths of 20,000 people, when he was operations director of the V-2 rocket factory at Nordhausen during the Second World War. Although Rudolph contested the charges, he relinquished his American citizenship and returned to Germany. While the Justice Department did not pursue his case, he was refused a United States visa in 1989 to attend a 20th-anniversary celebration of the first Moon landing.

Lindor sparks Mudcats with bat, attitude
Indians top prospect reaches base five times, scores two runs
By Robert Emrich / Special to MLB.com | May 25, 2013 7:59 PM ET
A quick look atop the Carolina League leaderboards confirms Francisco Lindor's potential stardom. A quick chat with him reveals not only how much he wants to win, but how willing he is to do what it takes to do so.
The Indians' top prospect went 3-for-3 with a pair of walks and two runs scored Saturday night, helping Class A Advanced Carolina rally for an 8-7 victory over Winston-Salem.
Lindor added his 12th stolen base of the season as he reached safely a season-high five times. He collected a double and two singles, but no hit was more important than the one he wasn't trying to get.
After the Dash scored five runs in the top of the eighth inning to take a 6-5 lead, the 19-year-old shortstop came to bat with the tying run on second and none out after Tyler Naquin singled and advanced on a balk by reliever Terance Marin. Lindor dropped down a perfect bunt, beating the throw to put the go-ahead run on base.
"I wasn't really thinking that I got on base five times, that wasn't on my mind," he said. "My mind-set is to do whatever it takes to help the team win. I was just trying to get the guy over. I've got [Joe] Wendle behind me, and he's a great hitter and he's seeing the ball well. I was lucky enough to get a base hit out of it."
It proved lucky for the Mudcats, too. After Lindor stole second, Wendle flied to left for the first out. Jordan Smith walked to load the bases and Tony Wolters hit into a forceout that scored Naquin with the tying run. Lindor raced home on shortstop Chris Curley's throwing error to put the Mudcats ahead and Wolters scored on Bo Greenwell's single.
After blowing a four-run lead, Lindor said the team was confident it could come back.
"We have a great group of guys, we don't quit," the Puerto Rico native said. "We knew we were capable of coming back. We had the top of the lineup to lead off the eighth, we don't quit. We were doing whatever it took, and at the end of the day we got the 'W.'"
Despite a perfect night at the plate, Lindor was his own worst critic. Well-regarded for his glovework, he committed a pair of throwing errors.
"I didn't help the team that much the way I wanted to on the defense side," he said. "I don't want to say frustrating -- I don't get frustrated. It gets me mad. The pitcher made a great pitch and the ball comes to me and I make an error, that's on me. He did whatever it took and I didn't finish the play."
Considering the way he's been playing, Mudcats pitchers probably will find it in their hearts to forgive Lindor. MLB.com's No. 13 overall prospect ranks second in the Carolina League with a .335 batting average and is fourth with 81 total bases. Perhaps the most impressive statistic, however, is that he's drawn 21 walks while striking out only 18 times.
Naquin, the Indians' No. 6 prospect, went 3-for-5 with two runs scored and an RBI. Batting ahead of Lindor, the 22-year-old outfielder forms a potent 1-2 punch for the Mudcats -- he's second in the league with 32 runs scored, third with 84 total bases and tied for second with 27 walks.
"We try and set the tone whenever we lead off an inning," Lindor said. "We might be the top guys in that inning, so we do whatever it take to get on base and score the runs."
Carolina starter Nick Pasquale allowed a run on two hits over six innings but did not figure in the decision. J.D. Reichenbach (2-2) retired two batters and was charged with two runs on two hits but got the win.
Kevan Smith homered and drove in four runs for the Dash.
