Environmentalists are warning the European Union's proposed fuel-quality directive could curtail imports of oil-sands-derived diesel from the U.S. Gulf Coast and drive down the price of Canadian crude.
It's a warning that Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver is clearly taking seriously as he visits European capitals to argue that the proposed fuel standard unfairly discriminates against Canada and underestimates emissions of crude now imported into Europe from countries such as Nigeria and Russia.
The standard assesses penalties for high-carbon fuels. Mr. Oliver wants the EU to revamp the existing proposal to reduce the difference in how it would treat oil sands producers versus other sources of oil.
While Ottawa's objections were once based on fear of a negative precedent that could migrate to this side of the Atlantic, it is now clear the proposal could have tangible impacts on the North American crude market. Canadian producers and U.S. refiners increasingly see Europe as an attractive export destination – both for crude from Canada if a west-to-east pipeline gets built, and for petroleum products made from Alberta bitumen refined in the U.S. Gulf Coast.
A study being released Wednesday by the Brussels-based group Transport & Environment concludes that the directive would drive down Canadian prices by reducing the global market for products derived from oil-sands bitumen.
The fuel quality directive (FDQ) would provide "a powerful incentive to shift investment away from ultra-high-carbon feedstocks to lower-carbon ones, with significant ensuing environmental benefits," the report said. It estimated the lower oil sands production would result in a reduction of 19 million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year, the equivalent of taking seven million cars a year off Europeans roads.
But Natural Resources Canada noted Tuesday that California has released its own low-carbon fuel report listing several widely traded crude types, including those from Nigeria, Russia, Venezuela and Angola, that produce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions well above the European standard for "conventional fuels" under which they will fall.
The transatlantic market has shifted dramatically in recent years as European refiners can't keep up with demand for diesel. Refiners on the U.S. Gulf Coast have increased exports of diesel to the continent, despite the economic malaise that has gripped the European economy. In the last five years, American exports of petroleum products, primarily from the Gulf Coast, have more than doubled, with the main destinations being Europe and South America.
The Transport & Environment report notes that increasing volumes of Canadian bitumen are reaching the Gulf Coast, and that the stream will become a river if the proposed Keystone XL pipeline is built. But if customers face higher environmental levies in key markets, they will look for lower-carbon sources to process, it concludes.
The report notes TransCanada Corp.'s proposal to construct a west-to-east pipeline that could result in the export of oil sands crude to Atlantic basin markets. While European refiners aren't equipped to process the diluted bitumen that is refined in the U.S., they could import the synthetic oil that is produced by upgraders in Alberta.
In a conference call from Paris on Monday, Mr. Oliver vowed to keep up Canada's lobbying effort to change the proposal, which is undergoing further study and may be headed for a vote by EU environment ministers this fall.
"We do not object to real tangible measures to reduce GHG emissions for transportation fuels," he said. "We do object to the discriminatory treatment currently contemplated in the FQD, singling out oil-sands-derived fuels without scientific justification."
Canada argues that the proposal from the European Commission sets GHG values only for bitumen and conventional oil, based on averages that overstate the difference between, for example, Saudi heavy crude and Alberta diluted bitumen.
Transport & Environment fuels manager Nusa Urbancic accused the Canadian government of spreading false information about the proposed standard that, she said, does a better job assessing emissions from competing crude sources than Ottawa claims.Report Typo/Error

Subaru goes for the heartstrings in a new TV ad aimed at playing on parental angst about letting their kids get behind the wheel on their own for the first time.
Pretty smart. Watching the ad, it's hard not to share in the dread of any parent who ever handed the keys to a son or daughter for their first solo journey when they still aren't old enough to vote. In an interesting twist: the actors playing the dad and his daughter -- age six and as a teenager -- are a real-life family from Malibu, Calif.
Subaru calls spot "Baby Driver." When it was shown at a dealers meeting recently, there wasn't a dry eye in the house. How it plays out:
The spot begins with a little girl aged six, sitting in the driver's seat of a Subaru Legacy with her father speaking to her through the passenger side window. She smiles patiently as her father gives her the "safety talk." As he hands her the keys, we realize that all along its been a 16-year-old waiting for her first ride alone whose Dad still sees her as his "little girl."
"Most parents dread that moment when their children first take the wheel alone. It's momentous," said Kevin Mayer, director of marketing communications, Subaru of America, Inc. "We talked about this with our agency, Carmichael Lynch and we loved the idea of building a story around that moment through the eyes of the father."
For the actor playing the concerned father, Andy Lyons, art is imitating life. "As father to both the girls, portraying those complex emotions on-screen was not a stretch for me. Having my first daughter, Lanna reach driving age and knowing that my second, Georgie, will be there all too soon, I understand the anxiety of handing over the keys for the first time."
The spot is aimed at portraying Subaru as the brand that will reassure parents when their teens start driving. Subaru just recorded its highest July sales ever, so whatever the brand is doing appears to be working.

the beautiful game
This is a far cry from the beer-splattered foosball table on which we waged epic battles in my college days. This delicious design takes a game and turns it into an art form. Absolutely stunning.
This mini foosball table is a great centerpiece for a party (both for kids and adults!), and obviously is an excellent gift for a lucky kid! An instant rec room classic!
Is foozeball the best game ever? Well, one of the best. Growing up, i play on one that my parents bought for $50 at a garage sale. This is is a whole different story.Added 9 Years Ago from On the Fly

They varied in size, with the large K-37 being a modified standard gauge steam locomotives built on a narrow gauge frame.
About 75% of the Baldwin-built locomotives are preserved.
They were built from the 1860's to the 1950's, and were discontinued due to the End of the Steam Era and the D&RGW's full transition to standard gauge in the 1960's.
List of locomotive types from year, date, build, and company:
Baldwin Locomotive Works:
C-16 (2-8-0) 1880's
K-27 (2-8-2) 1900's
K-28 (2-8-2) 1920's
K-36 (2-8-2) 1920's
K-37 (2-8-2) 1930's (Rebuilt from standard gauge Class C-41 locomotives)
Several small tank engines and tender engines were also built by Lima and other numerous companies, but came and went and weren't primarily used during the narrow-gauge era of the D&RGW.
The US Army purchased several D&RGW K-27's and renamed, renumbered, and repainted them into the Class 250 or '250 Class USA'. All were scrapped.
NdeM of Mexico was inspired by the D&RGW to rebuild their standard gauge steam locomotives with a narrow-gauge frames.

Great Smoker at a great price
By DWS
from Orlando, FL
This is my first smoker and I reviewed many models before taking the plunge. This is huge with 5 racks for meat, a hanging top rack and plenty of room. Twin doors for water and wood allow you to keep the main smoker compartment closed while adding more water or wood - keeping your temperature constant.It is built tough, very high quality and heavy - I will probably add some wheels to make it easier to move. BJs had the best price of any other store and delivered it quickly.

I recommend this smoker.
By Jaysmoker
from San Clemente, CA
I this smoker for a birthday present this year. It showed via UPS. Got it out of the box and it was in great shape took me about 30min to put together fired it up and seasoned it that night. The doors dont seal very tight so smoke did get out but i ordered a gasket from BBQgasket.com and solved the problem. The thermometer did fog up but it slowly went away. The only thing is the it doesnt come with a cover and when you spend this much it should come with one. I think. All in all its a great smoker.

The New York Yankees were off Thursday, but the Tampa Bay Rays weren't. Tampa Bay won again last night, which means the Yankees will open this weekend series in Cleveland with a 2 1/2 game lead in the American League East.
"(The Rays) have played exceptional, that's the bottom line," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "They go on a West Coast trip and do a great job out there. They've been playing really well. We went through a period like that, too. It's unfortunate we didn't play well (in Chicago)."
Since August 7, the Rays have played 17 days in a row. They've gone 14-3 in that span. Before yesterday, the Yankees had played 20 days in a row, going 11-9.
"We really haven't had that breakout like I think we had in May or June," Yankees' Nick Swisher said. "We had a monster June, so we just need to get back to that. We're not sweating anything or stressing nothing. I think we can make a lot of good things happen in a short amount of time."
Before the Chicago sweep, the Yankees had played well during this stretch of consecutive games. They'd won 11 of 17 heading into the White Sox series. They'd split against the Tigers, won three of four against the Texas Rangers, and taken two of three against the Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays and Seattle Mariners. Even with the Rays hot streak, the Yankees still have a five-game lead heading into Chicago.
"You don't pay attention usually until September," Yankees' Derek Jeter said. "And we play everybody, you know what I mean? Everyone who's in the race we play pretty much through most of September. Like I always say, if you win your games, you'll be fine."
All but nine of the Yankees remaining games are against American League East opponents. They play these three games in Cleveland, three games at home against the Oakland Athletics, and three games on the road against the Minnesota Twins. Otherwise, there are six games left against the Rays, six against the Red Sox, seven against the Baltimore Orioles and 10 against the Blue Jays.
Remember that hot streak when the Yankees won 10 in a row in June? You know what their division lead was at the end of that stretch? It was 2 1/2 games, just like it is today.
"I haven't counted down the days left in the season yet," Yankees' Phil Hughes said. "So, I mean, there's still a lot of baseball left. Five, six weeks, whatever it is, but that's still a lot of games. We have to play better, so hopefully we can go to Cleveland and do that."

Hi! Thank you for stopping by to watch me, Leah, cook kosher. I've been the owner operator of my boutique catering firm in Seattle, Leah's Catering, for the past 14 years.

Tu B'shevat is a great opportunity to meld flavors and work with interesting combinations of foods. This tapenade, which I'm serving with rye crackers, is easy to make and beautiful to serve. The Kalamata figs, now packaged in a circular plastic, used to come flattened and strung into a circle and shrink wrapped. I miss the string as I begin dicing the figs. Thoughts of the Pike Place Market, where I worked back in the day, come to me and I think of the winter chill. Standing in the winter cold of the outdoor Market, I set up displays of nuts and packages of dried figs. Working for an elderly Sephardic couple at A & H Fruits, these figs remind them of their native Rhodes. Now, 40 years later, they remind me of the Haras.
Today, I decide to soften the figs in pomegranate juice to add flavor and color. Mixing the tapenade in the Cuisinart, I think that an addition of nuts and a splash of wine would turn this into a great charoset. Ah, but that is for another month....

BETHESDA, MD -- Honest Tea, which has an established following for its organic bottled teas, is now offering a line of iced teas for foodservice.
The teas, designed for brewing in specialty Honest Tea-branded Bunn beverage systems, come in four varieties. Classic Green Tea is sweetened with "just a tad" of organic cane sugar. Just Iced Tea is an unsweetened black tea sourced from tea gardens in the Assam region of India. Caffeine-free Lemon Herbal Tea blends Indian tulsi (also known as Holy Basil), lemongrass, lemon peel and lemon myrtle to create a mildly spicy, yet calming taste.
Rounding out the offerings is Raspberry Tea, made with black tea sourced from the Korakundah tea gardens in southern India combined with pieces of organic orange peel that carry the natural raspberry flavors. Organic purple potatoes are used for a rich berry color.
The fresh-brewed foodservice iced tea varieties were adapted from Honest Tea's bottled Classic Green Tea, Just Green Tea, Heavenly Lemon Tulsi and Raspberry Fields. All of them are USDA organic and Fair Trade certified.
Honest Tea was purchased by Coca-Cola Co. in 2011 and operates as an independent business unit.

Jackie Morris, a Jackson County mason, talks Friday about his views on the county's new courthouse. Ground was broken Friday afternoon for the new facility, to be located off Georgia Highway 82 outside Jefferson.
Allen Sullivan/Staff
JEFFERSON - The sounds of construction nearly drowned out the voices of Jackson County officials as they held a 2 p.m. ground-breaking ceremony at the site of the future Jackson County courthouse Friday.
Under the skeleton of the $25 million building, estimated to reach completion in November 2004, workers kept on hammering and large machines continued to buzz.
It seems that neither a symbolic ceremony or the continuing controversy surrounding the site located off Georgia Highway 82 on the outskirts of Jefferson will halt the construction of the first building in what officials envision as the county's future governmental complex.
''The public buildings in a community say what the community thinks about itself,'' said County Commission Chairman Harold Fletcher at the ceremony's start.
But earlier in the day a few locals grumbled that the site reflects little of true civic opinion.
''It is a very clear example of a misuse of power by the 'good ol' boy' network,'' said Jackson County resident John Ringo as he ate lunch in Mike's Grill, a popular downtown Jefferson haunt.
Ringo was referring to the Association County Commissioners of Georgia lease-purchase plan used to finance the courthouse construction. The controversial plan, which has allowed local governments across Georgia to finance hundreds of millions of dollars worth of projects since the late 1980s, does not require voter approval.
Some Jackson County residents call that unacceptable in the face of a $25 million debt that will be shouldered by taxpayers as the county pays back ACCG for the project.
Taking a lunch break Friday at Mike's Grill in Jefferson, Jackson County Commission Chairman Harold Fletcher talks about Friday's ground-breaking for the county's new courthouse. ''The public buildings in a community say what the community thinks about itself,'' Fletcher said.
Allen Sullivan/Staff
''The board (of commissioners) is being run by builders and real-estate people,'' said Carol Smith over lunch just across town in the Jefferson House Restaurant.
Others have agreed with her. A group called Concerned Citizens of Jackson County filed suit against the commission June 10, calling the lease-purchase plan's lack of voter approval unconstitutional. A Superior Court judge upheld the plan Sept. 19, and Concerned Citizens appealed to the Georgia Supreme Court, which is not expected to decide whether to hear the case until early next year.
And on Oct. 2 the court denied a motion from Concerned Citizens asking for an order barring the county from beginning construction while the appeal was pending.
Jefferson House patron Bolling Dubose, the head basketball coach at Jefferson High School, said he believed that voters would have approved building a new courthouse if they had been given the chance.
Residents like Dubose do not question the need for a new courthouse.
The current 1870s-era, 16,000-square-foot courthouse in downtown Jefferson is one of the oldest operating courthouses in the state. Commissioners have argued that its 2.5-acre site allows for little of the expansion that the booming county needs. The county currently operates several court and administrative offices outside the courthouse.
Most citizens don't mind a new courthouse being built, they only wish they were given more input into its construction, Dubose said.
''I'm not sure they (the commissioners) could have handled this any worse than they have,'' Dubose said.

PHILADELPHIA - The Eagles finally drafted their quarterback of the future Saturday.
Coach Chip Kelly and general manager Howie Roseman traded up in the fourth round and selected University of Southern California quarterback Matt Barkley.
"Matt has all the intangibles you want in a quarterback," Kelly said. "I saw him up close and personal four times (when USC played Oregon) and he answered the bell every time. He was the best value on our (draft) board, by far."
Barkley comes off a disappointing and injury-plagued final season, but if he had come out after his junior season he might have been the top pick in last year's draft.
Instead, he was the third quarterback chosen in this year's draft and was the 98th player taken overall. Philadelphia gave Jacksonville a fourth-round pick (101) and a seventh-rounder (210) to move ahead of Kansas City and take Barkley.
Former Eagles coach Andy Reid, now the Chiefs' coach, may have taken Barkley at 99.
"I'm not sure why I fell (into the fourth round), but it doesn't matter," Barkley said Saturday in a phone interview. "All it takes is one team and I'm blessed that the Eagles believe in me and are willing to give me a chance.
"This comes as a breath of fresh air and it's a new beginning for me. No matter when it happened, I'm happy to have a home."
The Eagles already have Michael Vick, Nick Foles and Dennis Dixon at quarterback.
Last season Barkley was 246-for-387 for 3,273 yards passing with 36 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. His junior season he was 308-for-446 for 3,528 yards with 39 touchdowns and only seven interceptions.
Along the way, he also displayed his toughness and leadership, qualities that Kelly and the Eagles value over his arm strength and lack of mobility.
"Arm strength is overrated," Kelly said. "We're not trying to find someone who can knock over milk cartons in a cow field. We want a guy that can put the ball in the right place and Matt can do that. Matt's a passer, not a thrower."

Even for the niece of Tiger Woods, the past 48 hours have been crazy.
In the space of two days, Cheyenne Woods has jumped 209 places in the world golf rankings, gained 6500 new Twitter followers, had her own two-hour special telecast on pay TV's Golf Channel in the US and is now arguably the most engaging story on the women's circuit.
''I see it most through social media – a lot of followers, Twitter, Instagram, just people contacting me through that and showing that they've seen me play ... so it's crazy to me that I'm over here and it's spread so far and so fast to so many people,'' Woods said on Tuesday.
The difference, of course, is that now she is a winner – and more than just the attractive 23-year-old with the right surname to swing a golf club.
Her victory in the Australian Ladies Masters on the Gold Coast last Sunday – the biggest win of her professional career – will make her the main attraction at the Australian Open in Melbourne this week.
That is despite the fact five of the world's top 10 golfers are also playing and that Woods does not even have full playing status on the world's top tour that is tri-sanctioning this event, the LPGA.
So why is it?
Plainly, it's because people want to she if she can do what uncle Tiger did after his breakout victory almost 20 years ago. That is, to win again ... and again, and again, and again.
Doing so would give women's golf a storyline capable of captivating all sports fans; crossing over gender and pure golf lovers.
It is, of course, unfair to set such high expectations for a player not yet ranked inside the top 150.
But after hearing her speak on Tuesday, it's as if Woods had seen it all coming – not only had she expected to be in this position at some point, it's what she always wanted.
''For me this is normal; the interviews, the TV cameras following me,'' she said. ''It's what I've always known.
''Growing up watching Tiger be so successful, I always thought, 'Why not me?' ''Why wouldn't I be able to do that? No one is stopping me. So from the beginning, I always knew that this is where I would be, so it's really exciting to finally kind of see it play out.''
Woods says the Gold Coast already seems a world away, so much as happened since then.
So what might happen in four days at Victoria Golf Club?

If you post a link to it I am sure a lot of people will offer suggestions to improve
I'm not sure if this is exactly what you want but I think it is in the right direction if you could possibly alter it to your needs.
Is this kinda what you are looking for?
its demo 2 i think if it doesn't go right to it.
noooooo. Thanks Pheonix for the rick rolling
I just let pandora play, when I'm designing I like John Mayer and Jack Johnson or various things like that.
I would say 3 and 4
If I understand your question correctly, if you uncheck the "use global light" button when you are applying it, it should not affect all the other shadows you have.
Edit: Pogoking beat me.
I get those all the time and I actually just got one today too. I like to mess with them sometimes when I'm bored, but they are all scams so don't give any info out.
I have justhost, i don't run too much on the severs but they work great for me. Everything is fine in terms of speed and I have never noticed my sites being down.
960.gs is that what you are looking for?
yea, i went all through that, i could have missed it. It gave the basic rules, you have to have rights to images, if you use special fonts explain where you got them etc, but I couldn't find any details or a certain framework of how the documentation should look and what its should have and explain.

Cal notes: Shipley balancing three pitches
D-backs' No. 2 prospect ironing out his approach with coach Heredia
By Alex Espinoza / Special to MiLB.com | July 30, 2014 10:00 AM ET
Braden Shipley is trying to do a balancing act for the Visalia Rawhide.
While it's great to have three above-average pitches -- his fastball, changeup and curve -- the 20-year-old righty knows it can also work against him at times.
"I'm excited about the fact that I can throw three pitches for strikes when I want to," said Shipley, who has become Arizona's No. 2 prospect since being taken 15th overall in last year's Draft. "I'm trying not to fall in love with my changeup or my breaking pitch. I know they're good pitches for me, but I also want to keep them in my back pocket a little bit and really use my fastball. I've been trying to find that balance."
Shipley developed a curveball during his junior and senior years of high school in Medford, Oregon, but once he got to the University of Nevada-Reno, he was able to dominate simply by using a fastball-changeup combo. So as he got his feet wet in pro ball with Class A Short Season Hillsboro, Shipley had to find the feel for his curve once again.
Visalia pitching coach Gil Heredia, a 10-year Major League veteran, said the organization has focused on helping Shipley develop his pitch selection at the Class A Advanced level, and it looks like it's paying dividends. Shipley has finished at least six innings in seven of his nine starts for the Rawhide, matching his career high with seven frames last Friday against San Jose.
Shipley (1-4) has a 4.39 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 59 strikeouts in 53 1/3 innings of work in Visalia after going 4-2 with a 3.74 ERA for Class A South Bend to start the year. Save for two rough outings he had about a month ago, he's looked like the power pitcher the Diamondbacks hope to see.
"When he does make a mistake, he does it by overusing his secondary pitches," Heredia said. "That little rough patch he went through, he was pitching behind in counts, pitching defensively and not being as aggressive."
Shipley is clearly held in a high regard as he was selected to represent Arizona with Team USA in the All-Star Futures Game earlier this month. The D-backs righty retired the only two batters he faced.
"It was a great event and I was fortunate enough to participate in it and have a really good time," Shipley said. "The two outs that I did get, it made me better."
If he stays on the same trajectory, Shipley has the makeup to contribute to the big league club as early as 2015, according to Heredia. There are a lot of expectations that come with being a first-round pick and a poster boy of the farm system, but Shipley doesn't seem to be affected by the added attention.
"He's handled it pretty well," Heredia said. "He's got a good head between his shoulders. He's pretty realistic as far as understanding how he has to develop. We're not going to try to rush him at all, but you never know what could happen at the big leagues as far as the need for pitching. Who knows what that could bring for him?"
In brief
Astros promote Appel: Despite struggling with his command all year, 2013 No. 1 overall pick Mark Appel has been promoted to Double-A. The Houston Astros also hosted Appel at Minute Maid Park for a private workout after they decided to call him up to Corpus Christi. Appel started the season with Lancaster before being sent back to extended spring training. He put together his best outing of the year Thursday against Stockton, allowing two runs over six innings while striking out a season-high seven. In 12 starts with Lancaster, he was 2-5 with a 9.74 ERA, 1.92 WHIP and 40 strikeouts in 44 1/3 innings.
Back-to-back Lara: After earning his second straight Cal League Player of the Week honor for High Desert, Jordy Lara has been promoted to Double-A. The 23-year-old batted .353/.413/.609 with 22 homers and 80 RBIs in 102 games for the Mavericks.
Lamb on fast track: Southpaw Chris Lamb has made the jump all the way to Triple-A after starting the season with Oakland's Class A affiliate at Beloit. Lamb began the season as a reliever but was moved to a full-time starting role once he reached Stockton in mid-May. In 13 starts with the Ports, Lamb went 3-2 with a 3.46 ERA and 1.32 WHIP.

Earlier this week, Colin Cowherd tried to not eat his words regarding Aaron Rodgers' play in playoff games. One of the ways he did this was by commenting that Packers fans were only writing him because Rodgers won. (which to be honest no one writes in after a loss, but Rodgers' played great in both his playoff appearances and Cowherd is just too lazy to notice). But I digress, his main point followed, Packers fans only come out when they win.
I have never been a fan of Cowherd's and have frequently called him out on twitter and Cheesehead Radio for his idiotic comments. But that one, that one hurt. Packers fans only come out when they win? Really?
I could point to the long wait list for season tickets, or to the amount of jerseys sold, or to the vast number of people who visit this site and others during games to prove him wrong. But tonight on Packer Transplants we got more proof than any number could provide.
Corey's Aunt Gert turned out to be the mystery guest and I can honestly say that I listened more intensely during her interview than any of the others also on the show tonight. Why? Because the history and familial tradition of the Packers is something that is truly special and should be cherished. I know many teams have history and family bonds, but having lived in two other NFL cities, my experience has been that Packers fans share their love and fandom in a very unique and special way. The detail and near excitement in Aunt Gert's voice as she talked was matched equally by nearly everyone in the chat room. She sat there giving out tips for the game, recalling great moments, and I think, as listeners we all felt lucky and home, not only because here is a great fan talking but because many of us also have our own "Aunt Gert"s.
Mine was my grandmother, Wilma. How grandmother of a name is that? I moved in with her when I was 13. I was already pretty much a freak fan at that point, but with her I learned the etiquette of fandom. My grandmother watched Packers games from two spots in the house. One, a chair in the back of the living room or two, in the kitchen. When games would get tense she loved cleaning the oven. With her yellow gloves in hand she would sit there and scrub and scrub while listening to Jim and Max on the radio, the more tense a game got the more elbow grease she applied. We never listened to the tv announcers. They were rubbish. She's the one that taught me being able to talk about football is totally different from being able to talk about it well. As she got older and games got later, I would find myself alone watching some games, and somehow I always ended up in the kitchen. That's where you went when things got close. I was circling the table the entire last four minutes of Super Bowl 32. Funny, how years later you can still remember those things. I think the hardest thing about moderating the game day chat this season has been that I can't get up and stand in the kitchen. Trust me, there have been times that I've been tempted to take the lap top in there.
In my grandmother's basement I found what can only be described as the world's oldest, perhaps, first, bobble head. I loved that doll. He watched every game with me. Eventually his head crumbled, he was just too old. Grandmother said she had him as long as she could remember. Before me she kept him next to four mini helmets, not the kind you get outside the grocery store, but real collectors, and a mini football. I still watch each game with the Green Bay one.
In 2004 we moved my grandmother out of her house and in doing so we found an old dresser in the basement filled with old Packers memorabilia. Game day programs, pictures, etc. I was young when my grandfather passed so I never knew what the house was like filled with people on game day, but these drawers, those things, gave me a glimpse.
We probably were an odd pair, a very petite woman in her 70s and an overly emotional teenager with pom poms and a bobble head doll, but we were watching football together. Sure I have other memories, of childhood family parties filled with raw meat, onions and beer towers. And I have memories of being a college kid watching games at the bar. But tonight when listening to Aunt Gert talk, and after hearing Colin Cowherd's bizarre comments, I can't help but think of that four year stretch of my life when I was lucky enough to live and be a fan with my grandmother.
The history of this team, of being a fan is passed down through many generations. I'm thankful that Packer Transplants took the time tonight to remind us and share with us. And I really hope that someone, someday, finds a way to get Colin Cowherd off the air.

Good morning SLO Marathon Participants:
To help ensure the safety and provide the best possible race experience for all of our athletes, we have decide to cap the number of participants in the four weekend races as of today. Our marathon will sell out at 1,200 athletes, our Half Marathon at 4,000, our 5k at 1,200 athletes (offering a competitive and non-competive start time) and the children's fun run at 100.
The Full and Half Marathon are on closed roads throughout San Luis Obispo and the Edna Valley and the 5K and Children's Fun Run are at the Madonna Meadows at the Madonna Inn. Our race production team has great respect for both our community and our athletes and feels strongly that by controlling the number of race participants allowed on our course, it allows us to not only meet but exceed the superior level of USA Track & Field Sanctioning and Boston Qualifier race opportunities we offer.
Please spread the word and if you have friends or family member, be sure that they register soon. The price of registration will go up Feb. 1 and the races will sell out.
We greatly appreciate your understanding. Our entire SLO Marathon Team and myself are working hard to continue the controlled growth and first class development of the California Central Coast's premier destination marathon weekend.
Thank you,
Samantha Pruitt, Race Director

The Daily Mail says Kirkland, 23, who recently lost his first-team place, will undergo keyhole surgery on Friday.
If this is the case, he is unlikely to return before the end of March.
Liverpool only have 20-year-old Paul Harrison as back-up for keeper Jerzy Dudek, but have been linked with a move for Leeds' Scott Carson.
Kirkland's career has been blighted by injuries since he joined Liverpool from Coventry for £6m in 2001.
Last season he only played 12 times, breaking a finger and a wrist, and he has yet to play for England despite being called up to the squad several times.
He becomes the latest name added to a lengthy liverpool injury list that includes Harry Kewell (groin), Milan Baros (hamstring) and long-term injury victims Vladimir Smicer (knee) and Djibril Cisse (broken leg).

Have Honda Questions? Ask a Honda Repair Expert.
I just looked it up on www.kbb.com and in my area with an automatic transmission and in good condition it's rate as $1870.
Those particular models hardly ever have any issues. They may need a coil/ignitor or a main relay which are common failures but that's about it. No real transmission issues or emissions that I can think of. Being that it's getting older the emissions could become an issue but if it passes inspection now then you're probably ok.

PARIS (Jun. 14)
Jean Pierre-Bloch, the president of the International League Against Anti-Semitism (LICA), has asked French Interior Minister Christian Bonnet to take all necessary steps to identify and arrest the members of the rightwing group which claimed responsibility for last Sunday's bomb attack against the Jewish-owned travel organization, Club Mediterranee. Pierre-Bloch, who met yesterday with the Minister, told the press that LICA has known for some time about the activity of the terrorist organization and had complained to the police several months ago.
Pierre-Bloch said that he personally has received several threatening letters from the National Front for the Liberation of France which, according to its own communique, last Sunday set off three bombs in the club's headquarters in downtown Paris.
Police investigators say, however, they have never heard of the front's existence before and are not yet convinced of its existence. They say the bomb attack might have been carried out by accomplices of the gangsters who had carried out several attacks against club villages as "reprisals" for the arrest and conviction of some of the gang's members. Police are also investigating the possibility that the bomb attack might have been carried out by some of the club's competitors in the travel business. The anti-Semitic communique, investigators privately say, might serve as a smoke screen to hide the real reasons for the bomb attack.
Jewish organizations monitoring anti-Semitic activities have not reported any upsurge in recent months and France's Jewish weekly "Tribune Juive," in an as yet unpublished survey also failed to find any noticeable increase. The paper's correspondents reported that anti-Semitic slogans have been scribbled on walls in a number of cities, mainly Marseilles and in eastern France, but not more frequently than in the past. They seem to be the work of an unorganized, small lunatic fringe and some of its supporters are regularly apprehended by the police.

For those of you that will be glowing with smiles, shopping for your Mother and taking her out to your favorite restaurant, there will be those of us whose heart will be aching as we remember the last moment spent with our mothers. Don't keep these emotions bottled up inside you, perhaps write a special article or poem and dedicate to your mothers memory, share memories of your special times spent with family and friends, pull out old photographs or look at a video tape. Every year on Mother's Day, light a candle in her memory. Go out and buy yourself a rose bush and plant it in your flower bed. Each year as summer brings back the birth of roses your mother's memory will rebloom in the beauty of those roses. My mother always loved the roses. Her and my father would grow them in the garden and all our neighbors would remark on the beauty of those roses. So during my Mother's illness, I often took her roses clipped from the rose bush in my yard to the nursing home. Every winter I am saddened by the loss of my mother. Winter took her, but the first bloom of roses brings her home. So this Mother Day I will delight in the beauty of roses.
This Mother's Day allow yourself to feel the love and joy of your children. You are not betraying your mother by feeling happiness. Your mother would want you to be happy on this day and remember her laughter. Grief is normal and there is no easy way to deal with it. Close your eyes and remember your childhood and the happy times spent with mom. Remember the talks and the wisdom she shared, even remember the fights when you didn't quite see eye to eye. Your mother is forever with you and the part of her you remember will never die.
This Mothers Day rejoice and smile. Your mother gave you life and with that life she taught you many things but one thing she may not have taught you was how to say goodbye when her time would come to leave this earth. Death it is just the passage through a door. It is from one room until the next, from this life into eternal life. Right there through the clouds is where your mother is, she is in the beauty of roses that bloom. Remember your Mother this Mother Day, mourn in her death, but rejoice in her rebirth. My Mother I will never be able to write anything that matches her love for me but may my love for her be found within the wisdom of these words that I share with all of you.
1-800 I'm calling Heaven- Operator? Please patch through a call to our mothers and wish them a Happy Mothers Day.

DNA collected from relatives around the world, along with samples from items as mundane as a toothbrush, are being filtered through a high-tech, multinational operation to give a decent burial to the dead of the Dec. 26 disaster and a small measure of relief to the relatives left behind.
But for those whose loved ones have simply vanished without a trace, there's little to be done beyond running a picture in a newspaper, in the faint hope that someone will notice. Thailand, where half the 5,395 dead were foreign holidaymakers, has at least benefited from a big and expensive DNA effort. Indonesia and Sri Lanka, where the earthquake and tsunami claimed most of the 216,000 dead and missing, have no such luxury.
In Thailand, the giant waves inflicted a truly international tragedy, striking at peak vacation season along a coastline lined with hotels.
The victims were from three dozen countries, many of which funded efforts to identify the dead, aided by Interpol and laboratories including the one in Sarajevo that works on victims from the 1992-95 war in Bosnia. The lab says that by early December its scientists had extracted and profiled the DNA from more than 1,600 of the 1,723 bone samples that arrived from Thailand, with more to come.
Of these, 665 were matched to victims, most of them Thais, but also 39 Swedes, 20 Germans, 11 Finns, four Britons and two Americans, according to Doune Porter, spokeswoman of the International Commission on Missing Persons which runs the Sarajevo lab.
Such an exhaustive intercontinental operation was impossible in Indonesia's Aceh province on the northern tip of Sumatra island, where the tsunami devoured whole towns and villages of poor fishermen, laborers and their families. There some communities were annihilated, leaving no one alive to help identify the dead.
Some still hold out hope.
Dewi Marlinda, a 23-year-old teacher in Aceh, plans to post a newspaper advertisement for her missing daughter, Tasya Zahara, who would now be 5.
"This will be our last effort. If this is not successful, I will accept my daughter is lost," she said.
"But we still hope she is alive; maybe she has been adopted by a family who love her so much that they don't want to report that she is living with them."
In Aceh, backhoes dumped tens of thousands of dead into mass graves, while large numbers of corpses were swept out to sea. In Sri Lanka, unrefrigerated bodies lay in empty rooms and hospital corridors until they could be buried en masse. Bodies swelled beyond recognition in the tropical heat.
Thailand was lucky that roads and other infrastructure survived around the crowded resort island of Phuket. Kenyon, a disaster management firm based in Houston, Texas, shipped in X-ray machines, mortuary supplies and refrigerated containers for the dead. The Australian government paid the bill.
Still, for people like the Shellhorn family in Salisbury, N.C., the wait was agonizing. Their daughter Carol, on a three-month sabbatical from her job as a marketing director for a software company, was scuba-diving in Thailand with her husband, Tim Massey, when the waves struck.
Massey survived, but his wife vanished.
"It was obviously excruciating ... very difficult for the entire family. You're hoping for the best, for a miracle, and fearing the worst," says her father, W.B. 'Bud' Shellhorn, 72.
Nurses took DNA samples from him and his son Doug at his office. On March 11, 11 weeks after the disaster, a State Department official called to tell the Shellhorns the worst. Their daughter was dead at 38.
"The international agencies moved quite quickly over there," Shellhorn says. "The Swedes and Australians and Japanese had forensic teams on the ground, they moved quite quickly. The State Department was a little slow in getting organized, but when they did they assigned a special representative and kept us totally informed. The State Department was very good to work with, once they got organized."
Chicago attorney David Abels spent nearly two weeks in Thailand searching for his brother, 33-year-old Ben Abels, who was vacationing on the island of Phi Phi when his bungalow was swamped. He hired two private investigators, and with a friend of his brother and some Americans he had met, combed through victims' photos and examined corpses at hospitals and makeshift morgues.
After nearly two weeks he went home empty-handed, and it would be another six weeks before the State Department told the family that Ben Abels had been identified. It turned out his brother had narrowly missed him while searching through hundreds of bodies in a Buddhist temple.
"I was literally working within 10 feet of him. We didn't pull the right person," David Abels said. "It's frustrating. It wouldn't have changed anything, but it would have been nice to have avoided the next six weeks of agony."
Identified through dental records, Ben Abels was buried in Chicago.
In Phuket, the Thai Tsunami Victim Identification project works in borrowed space in a telecommunications building. Here forensics experts study autopsy, fingerprint and dental records, photographs of bodies and DNA samples from the dead and living.
The Sarajevo lab extracts DNA from bone samples, a more difficult task than taking DNA from flesh. It ships them to Phuket, where experts on assignment from the laboratory as well as other forensic specialists try to match them with DNA collected from items such as toothbrushes that belonged to the missing people, as well as blood samples of relatives of the missing. The system is so reliable that a successful match virtually ensures the identification of a body.
After vigorous vetting, a "reconciliation" team reviews the entire case file, and another panel overseen by a Thai police official signs off on the identification. The global nature of the team is reflected in the six team members who met with an Associated Press reporter to talk about the operation: a German, a Chinese, an Australian, a Briton, a Canadian and an Italian.
"The learning curve for everybody has been quite significant," said Hermann Metz of the Australian Federal Police. "It's the first time that something like this has been attempted."
The center puts 50 to 70 names to bodies each week, leaving fewer than 900 still lying unidentified in refrigerators. The project is shifting operations to Thai police headquarters in Bangkok this month, and will soon face a difficult decision: whether to keep the unidentified bodies on ice in Phuket or bury them in a local cemetery.
In Thailand, those whose loved ones vanished without a trace can only go on hoping, and that hope is dwindling.
In the chaotic days after the tsunami, people posted missing-persons photographs and notes on beach-front trees and walls in Phuket and Khao Lak, a coastal district in neighboring Phang Nga province. Today, just a handful of them remain in subdued Khao Lak, where tourists are few and many properties are bare.
One picture on a tree shows a child's face, so faded that only its bare outlines are distinguishable.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) - Brandyn Curry scored 18 points and Keith Wright tied Harvard's career block record in the Crimson's 66-51 win over Yale on Saturday night.
Wright now has 147 blocks, matching Brian Cusworth's career record. Wright also had 10 points and eight rebounds as the Crimson (23-3, 9-1 Ivy League) dominated Yale (17-7, 7-3), inside to win its 27th straight home game, the second-longest streak in the nation.
Harvard outrebounded the Bulldogs 32-22 and outscored them 32-10 in the paint.
The Crimson led 9-7 midway through the first half before going on a 16-2 run to blow it open. Kyle Casey's layup gave Harvard, which was 5 of 5 during the spurt, a 23-9 advantage with 21 seconds left.
The Bulldogs who were outshot 54.3 percent (25 of 46) to 37.2 percent (16 of 43), were led by Greg Mangano with 22 points and 11 rebounds.

"You may remember him as the guy who recovered Greg Lewis' mishandled punt in the end zone for a touchdown in Green Bay's opening-day win over the Eagles last season."
They had to bring that up didn't they?
Perhaps they feel Trevor Laws has come around enough to contribute more at DT, so Klecko can now move full time to fullback to help out with their power running game, which sucks right now.
How about cutting the guy that mishandled that punt? That would've been a circular story, and change we can all believe in.
Is this move any different than drafting top 3 round picks like Quentin Caver, Billy McMullen, Jerome McDougle, Matt McCoy, Matt Ware, Ryan Moats, etc...and then cutting them? Then you have other picks still with the team but not really having glowing resumes (L.J.?, Reggie Brown, Winston Justice, etc..) Why are other teams getting more contributions but they aren't. Desean may be the one exception since Westbrook but still
If you jugde their overall body of work, they overvalue picks and their talent evaluation is mediocre. Under the Reid era, for every marginal starter they've drafted in rounds 1 through 4 there are two more mediocre players on the roster or who have been cut. I swear some years they just don't want to pay first round guaranteed money either. So they trade out.
Brian, if you haven't already done this, I'd like to see an overall draft rating of the Reid era. My hunch is it's been average at best. Maybe even a bit lower.
I would love to see a draft analysis as well.
I think Defensively the Eagles have drafted well. Offensively ? Westbrook, Mcnabb and Andrews are the only standouts over 10 years. Thats it...
I see no reason why Reid cut Hunt. I don't see Klecko being a better option than Hunt at this point. And on a team that continues to carry Greg Lewis and J.R. Reed (who has a great story and may be a great guy but is the 53rd man on this team), the move doesn't make sense to me.
reid cut him because he is only 1 stroke of luck better at this than sucky brad childress is.cut matt schobel cut booker cut g lew cut tank daniels cut akeem jordan cut sean considine cut brent celek even.

Friday night's preseason game was once again against Chicago, this time from the Windy City. This was also my first attempt at watching the preseason via League Pass from Cablevision – who still doesn't let you select which TV broadcast you want to watch / listen to. Therefore, I was stuck with Neil Funk and former Pup, Stacey King. This isn't a good thing.
I'm in early negotiations with Big Al so that I don't have to cover either of the regular season games against the Bulls this season. They are a really good defensive team, but that also makes them a little difficult to watch, particularly in the preseason and when Derrick Rose isn't in the lineup. Tonight's game got off to a slow start for the Wolves (14-2 deficit) and things never really got much better. The Timberwolves made a few, small runs but never cut the lead to less than 6 points and it never got that close in the second half at all, as the Wolves fell 92-81 and moved to 3-2 in the preseason.
The Pups starting lineup tonight consisted of Barea, Roy, Kirilenko, Cunningham, and Stiemsma. Obviously, there is no Love in the lineup and Pekovic sat out tonight due to precautionary reasons, after banging his hand in the last game (according to Jerry Zgoda).
There weren't too many highlights from the loss when looking through a Wolves lens. Adelman coached the game pretty safely and no one played more minutes than Stiemsma at 26+. Here are few items that caught my "Pups eye":
- AK47 had a nice, efficient game but played less than 20 minutes. He went down awkwardly in the first quarter defending the paint against Noah and my heart skipped a beat. No more injuries please!
- Dante Cunningham continued to impress, but once the regular season starts, he shouldn't even consider a jumper outside of 15 feet.
- Shved had an off night shooting. To make matters worse, Neil Funk called him "Sha-ved" throughout the evening.
- Amundson was the first Pup off the bench tonight, but he's definitively behind Cunningham in the regular season rotation in my opinion.
- We had a Malcolm Lee sighting for the first time this preseason! Lee hit a three and had a fast break dunk. As an added bonus, neither Funk nor King had any idea who he was when he hit his first bucket, which led to a few seconds of awkwardness.
- Finally, and the worst part of the evening, was DWill's performance. If he is playing for a shot to start at PF for this team, he's not doing himself any favors. If he wants to be a PF, get off the three point line and accept/initiate body contact on both ends of the floor.
As per Timberpups.com tradition, here are tonight's three stars of the game:
- Carlos Boozer – Boozer throws up a 24-9-4-4 game and set the tone for the Bulls early. The Wolves had no answer for him.
- Taj Gibson – Not to be outdone, Gibson also had a very nice game with 12 points, 11 rebounds, and 3 blocks. It will be interesting to see what the Bulls do here in the long term with these two.
- Greg Stiemsma – I have to put one Pup in here and The Steamer gets the nod, putting up 9 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks. These obviously aren't earth shattering numbers, but he probably looked as good as or better than anyone else on the roster.
The Wolves are off until Wednesday night when they will host the Pistons at Target Center. Let's go Wolves!

Last week, we broke down the elements of a wedding ceremony timeline, and today we're picking up where we left off, with the cocktail hour and dinner reception. The sample reception timeline below follows a common wedding-day format, beginning with a 4 p.m. ceremony start time and ending at 10 p.m. Also, the timeline assumes the ceremony and reception are being held in the same venue, which means guests won't need to travel to a separate party site. Thus, cocktail hour kicks off right after the ceremony's conclusion, followed by dinner, toasts, dancing, and cake! Use this sample timeline as general guide of how a reception typically proceeds.
Ceremony & Cocktail Hour
4:00 p.m.: Ceremony begins
4:45 p.m.: Ceremony concludes; cocktail hour begins
6:00 p.m.: Cocktail hour concludes; guests begin to take their seats at the reception
See More: 30 Amazing Ceremony Structures
6:15 p.m.: Emcee introduces the wedding party and newlyweds
6:20 p.m.: Newlyweds go right into their first dance
6:25 p.m.: Welcome speech or blessing
6:30 p.m.: Dinner service begins (music volume is lowered)
7:00 p.m.: Toasts (beginning with the best man)
7:30 p.m.: Father-daughter dance, followed by mother-son dance
7:45 p.m.: All guests are invited to join everyone on the dance floor
8:30 p.m.: Cake cutting
9:45 p.m.: Last call
9:55 p.m.: Last song; followed by couple's grand exit
10:00 p.m.: Reception concludes; guests depart; begin breakdown
11:00 p.m.: Breakdown complete; everyone out

Prison Inmate Charged With Killing Prisoner
Romulus, N.Y. - Authorities say a 37-year-old man has been charged in the slaying of a fellow inmate at a maximum-security New York state prison in the Finger Lakes region.
State police say Tuesday that the arrest of Brian Karris (pictured) came after a Seneca County grand jury indicted him on second-degree murder charges in the death of 24-year-old Thomas Blancke of Geneva.
Troopers say Blancke was found dead Dec. 14 in his cell at the Five Points Correctional Facility in the town of Romulus, 40 miles southwest of Syracuse.
State prison officials said Blancke had been at Five Points since July after being convicted of attempted burglary in Steuben County.
Police haven't released details of how he died.
Karris has been transferred to the maximum-security Auburn Correctional Facility in neighboring Cayuga County.

Area rugs can mask dull carpeting
Many homes — dorms, apartments, houses — come with carpeting installed, but it usually is a bland beige that just lies there or a color no one can seem to match with anything.
Using an area rug is a way to add color that fits your scheme, tie the room together and preserve the installed carpet underneath.
Area rugs come in endless materials, patterns, colors and textures.
When choosing a carpet, there are two distinct directions one may go — patterned and bright, or neutral. Duane Anderson, co-owner of House by JSD in Lexington, Ky., suggests looking at an ikat rug, meaning one with an intricate design, to add multiple colors and a strong graphic to the room.
A neutral rug can offer a subtle assistance to the color scheme and ambiance of the space to make it feel cozier.
Area rugs create a "connection" between the walls, uniting the space without drawing away from its size.
Places to look for rugs include HomeGoods and Carpet World, which has remnants for less than $100, and even Target, which has several smaller rugs.
Design ideas,big and small
Whether your room needs just a quick freshening or a total overhaul, you can find inspiration in Better Homes and Gardens' "Makeovers: Room-by-Room Solutions."
The book is stuffed with decorating ideas to steal. There are before-and-after photos of room makeovers, clever storage tips, paint color suggestions and much more to get your creative juices flowing. You'll even find guidance on grouping artwork, making up an attractive bed and arranging items on a coffee table.
Some of the ideas use reclaimed or inexpensive elements, so you can add style without breaking your budget.
"Makeovers" is published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and sells for $21.99 in softcover.

Museum Good - Cafe Not Good03/04/2012
Went here for a quick lunch while downtown. Nothing but quick. It took 40 minutes for a BLT and a chili dog and the place was not that busy. As for the food when it came...it was okay but 40 minutes!!!
Very nice. Lot's of great displays.
I recently visited San Antonio. This is a great place to take your family, it has it all. A wonderful museum and a great cafe! The museum is packed full of interesting Texas History and then we ate at the cafe and the food was wonderful. (I admit I was surprised.) THe waitess was on top of it the whole time. If you go to San ANtonio make time to visit the Buckhorn! You will enjoy it!
