UFC 96 Betting Odds
Event Name: UFC 96: Jackson vs. Jardine
Date: March 7, 2009
Location: Columbus, Ohio
Venue: Nationwide Arena
Broadcast: Pay-Per-View - 10pm ET
UFC 96: Jackson vs. Jardine will clash at UFC 96 on March 7th in Columbus, Ohio. Also the UFC will feature a match between the undefeated Shane Carwin and one-time heavyweight title challenger Gabriel Gonzaga, and a bout pairing Dustin Hazelett and Ben Saunders.
Previous reports suggested Jackson would fight UFC light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans in UFC 96's main event. Instead, Jackson will look to build toward a future bout with Evans when he meets the Team Jackson fighter's teammate, Jardine.
Jardine (14-4-1), based out of Jackson's Submission Fighting in Albuquerque, N.M., last fought at UFC 89 in October, when he earned a split decision against Brandon Vera. He also holds victories against former UFC light heavyweight champions Griffin and Chuck Liddell. The 33-year-old former bounty hunter staked his claim in the 205-pound division with an unorthodox style and vicious leg and body kicks.
Jackson, meanwhile, will return to action just 10 weeks after his dominant first-round knockout of Wanderlei Silva. It was a remarkable comeback for Jackson, who was arrested after a high-speed police chase a few weeks after losing his light-heavyweight title to Forrest Griffin in July 2008. He's now won seven of his past eight fights.
The winner of the bout will likely be moved into a title match while UFC light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans' first challenger is still open to speculation
Heavyweights Shane Carwin Vs. Gabriel Gonzaga
An up-and-coming heavyweight, Carwin (10-0) is undefeated in his professional career, including impressive back-to-back victories in the UFC. Carwin, a standout wrestler, compiled an 8-0 record before joining the UFC and recording first-round knockouts of Christian Wellisch and Neil Wain in a combined 2-minutes and 15-seconds.
Gonzaga is currently on a two-fight win streak after enduring back-to-back losses to top division players Couture and Fabricio Werdum. He submitted Justin McCully with a first round kimura at UFC 86: "Jackson vs. Griffin" in July and then crushed an overmatched Josh Hendricks at UFC 91 with a first round knockout.
With four straight wins to begin his career inside the Octagon, including a sensational (and at the time unlikely) knockout of Mirko Cro Cop with a headkick, "Napao" appears to be once again relevant in heavyweight title contender picture. The Brazilian will now look to string together three straight wins to secure a place near the top in 2009.
And a win over a highly touted prospect like Shane Carwin would do just that. The same goes for Carwin — defeating a veteran and former number one contender like Gonzaga would serve as springboard to launch him into the next phase of his promising career.
For the third straight year, the UFC will host an event from the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio. UFC 96 at the Nationwide Arena on Saturday, March 7, 2009.
The UFC started thefirst event with UFC 68, for one historic night as Randy Couture won the heavyweight crown for an unprecedented third time as he beat Tim Sylvia. The event grossed more than $3 million and the 19,000 fans in attendence set a record for the largest North American audience to witness a mixed-martial arts event.
The following year, UFC 82 was held at Nationwide and was attended by more than 15,000 fans to see Anderson Silva unify the UFC Middleweight Championship and the PRIDE Welterweight Championship by defeating Dan Henderson.

San Francisco – Target opened a new Technology Innovation Center in San Francisco, on May 20. The center, located in shared space with the digital marketing agency SapientNitro, employs about 20 people, including some shared SapientNitro employees. Target will use the center to develop mobile and e-commerce services, allowing it to better compete with online-savvy rivals such as Amazon.com.
"It's about how do we get further ahead of some of those emerging technologies," said David Newman, director of the Technology Innovation Center. "How do we find those things that are just starting to be funded by the venture capital community?"

He had a very good teammate Toyota he should have a fir hand on what makes a car go, setup, engine and testing. The second driver is the weak link, Jerome d'Ambrosio may have some talent (??)little experience combined with no real F1 racing savvy. Not much development work can come from him. A small startup team has no place for a rookie well, maybe money.. Pedro DE a Rosa would have been a real car developer, testing guy. He has a long history with big Mac. He maybe is not the fastest foot on the track but his knowledge, like Rubin is second to none... Jose 1 agree 0 disagree

Flags and Banners
Tips and Guides > DBA Resources > Fanaticus
What better way to add personality to your DBA army than with colorful flags and banners. Imagine for example a Viking army rallied beneath its Raven banner. There are the ever popular pennons streaming from the lances of medieval Knights. Samarui and their retainers signified their loyalties by wearing sashimano banners bearing the devices of their clans on their backs. And what Late Roman or Dark Ages army would be complete without a draco standard. You can use flags and banners to designate command stands. With many armies, it is even possible to identify specific units or elements with a historically appropriate banner, not to mention specific historical personages.
Flags and banners can be painted on paper, metal, plastic or any surface that is pliable and that will hold paint. Some gamers use tinfoil or the heavy foil used to make toothpaste tubes. Whatever material you use, the process is simple. Cut out a square or rectangle a little more than twice the size of your desired banner. Divide the area into two equal sizes/shapes. Then paint or draw a mirror image of your design on each half, coat the unpainted inner side with a thin coat of white glue, and then wrap your flag around the lance or flagstaff, being sure to align the edges evenly. Before the glue sets, you can work the flag with your fingers to create waves or ripples that simulate the flapping of the flag in the wind. A sharp knife or pair of sissors can be used to place "rents" or tears in the flag if so desired. When it is set and dried, then you can coat the flag with a sealant such as a spray matte finish, to protect your art work.
With the advent of graphical software and high quality color printers, it is relatively easy to create your own flags on the computer either by scanning pictures of the originals or by drawing your own on-line, which allows you to correct errors as you go and avoid the pain-staking work associated with painting a detailed flag in miniature. You can also purchase flags from a wide range of commercial sources (see the De Bellis Bazaar's directory of Wargaming Accessories).
Finally, and fortunately there are folks who are willing to share their own artwork. All you need is a good color printer and you're in business.
Chris Brantley has fashioned the following banners:

Other Banner Sites
Ian Croxall's Warflag site features a large collection of flags, pennons and banners created for different periods in both 15mm and 25mm scale, including a nice assortment of Burgundian and other medieval banners.
Dansk Figurspilsforening has downloadable flags for the Medieval/Renaissance Period, the Hundred Years War, and the Baltic Crusades.
Matthew Haywood provides a series of banners for the Teutonic Knights and Later Polish at Tannenberg, and Medieval Serbs.
Ray Rousell's Don't Roll a 1 blogsite includes several great sets of "Viking flags, flags for both sides at the Battle of Flodden, a few English flags for the Battle of the Spurs and some flags for the League of Augsburg period, including English, Dutch and Danish."
Wargames Foundry offers a sheet of Viking banners done by Kevin Dallimore.
Alex Pil's offers up Flags for DBx.

Report Finds 'Relatively Little' in Aid to Pakistan Is Contingent on Cooperation
As tensions between Pakistan and the U.S. have hit new highs in recent months, the billions of dollars that the U.S. gives to Pakistan in aid have come under heightened scrutiny. After the Obama administration announced earlier this month that it would withhold $800 million in military aid and reimbursements, a White House spokesman told reporters, "We're not prepared to continue providing that at the pace we're providing it unless and until we see certain steps taken."
A new report by the Government Accountability Office sheds a bit more light on why one existing check on military aid—meant to ensure that U.S. aid buys more cooperation—may not be working as planned. Under the Enhanced Partnership with Pakistan Act of 2009, also known as the Kerry-Lugar Act, the Secretary of State is required to certify that Pakistan is cooperating with the United States in order for it to receive certain military funding.
But the report found that "relatively little" of the $3 billion in aid that the State Department has requested for Pakistan for 2012 is actually affected by that certification. Most of it—88 percent, to be exact—isn't affected at all, the GAO found. That includes streams of funding that still can make it to Pakistan's security forces regardless of whether Pakistan has been deemed to be cooperative.
What's more, it's unclear on what basis the State Department decides whether Pakistan has cooperated. Back in March, Hillary Clinton signed off on a certification of Pakistan's cooperation, stating that the government of Pakistan has "demonstrated a sustained commitment to and is making significant efforts towards combating terrorist groups." As McClatchy Newspapers points out, the certification was signed even as U.S. officials planned a raid to kill Osama bin Laden within Pakistan's borders and without its prior knowledge.
The GAO has said that it will examine the State Department's basis for granting this certification, but its findings will remain classified.
Meanwhile, the House Foreign Affairs Committee is considering a bill this week to place more restrictions on U.S. aid to Pakistan and other Mideast countries. The proposal would tighten the certification requirements for military aid to Pakistan. It would also make civilian aid contingent on certification and require additional certification that civilian aid programs have been effective.
Projects to disperse civilian aid within Pakistan have been slow to receive funding and make progress due to concerns about corruption in the Pakistani government, news outlets have reported. But given how the current certification system works, it's unclear whether requiring additional certifications would address these problems or change how much or how effectively U.S. aid is ultimately dispersed.
Lawmakers have debated for months whether to cut the money given to Pakistan or attach more conditions to it. The Obama administration has said that its recent move to suspend millions in military aid to Pakistan would not affect aid to civilians.

Thanks for this report. Are we really surprised that a large chunk does not have to meet scrutiny?. No. Would we be surprised that it was intentionally crafted in such a way? No. Just another example of the yo yo's who are the elite in Washington trying to pull the wool over the American peoples.
No more aid to these despicable Gov't's and their out of control military thugs and certainly to no Gov't that allows their citizens to kill and not educate girls.
Agreed. This is like Captain Renault expressing surprise that there is gambling in Casablanca. What a bunch of baloney!

Indiana Jones is infamously not a fan of snakes, but they've never bothered Karen Allen that much.
That was helpful on the set of Raiders of the Lost Ark more than 30 years ago when Allen and co-star Harrison Ford had to maneuver around so many that the floor seemed like it was moving.
Indy fans will be able to see those crawly critters — and Ford's intrepid hero and Allen's love interest Marion Ravenwood — like never before starting Friday, when Raiders begins a week-long run at IMAX theaters across the country. Steven Spielberg's 1981 action-adventure is also the centerpiece of the hi-def Blu-ray release of Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures, which includes all four Indiana Jones movies and is out Sept. 18.
Allen, who also appeared in 2008's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, recalls there were a handful of snakes that were biters in the scene set in the Well of Souls, which Indy and Marion have to get through in search of the Ark of the Covenant.
"You just had to keep your eye on those particular ones. We had some pythons that we mixed in with a lot of the smaller harmless snakes. It was something to contend with, I'm sure," Allen told USA TODAY. "But it doesn't bother me nearly as much as it seems to bother other people who watch the film."
What was a pain for Allen: sequences filmed in the catacombs where she and Ford filmed day after day with things crashing around them constantly. Even worse, most of those underground cavern scenes were cut from the final cut of the film.
"They would use his stuff called Fuller's earth for dirt and things falling," Allen said. "It would just come down and get into your eyes and go down your throat and up your nose. It was very unpleasant — much more unpleasant than the snakes, I might add."
Still, she's game for playing Marion one more time if the long-rumored fifth Indiana Jones movie comes to fruition and Ford, now 70, brushes the dust off the old fedora and trademark whip.
According to Allen, it's all on George Lucas' shoulders.
"If he comes up with a story and if he wants to go forward and do another one, Steven says he's completely on board and wants to do it," said Allen, who turns 61 next month. "I certainly would want to do it, and I know Harrison would love to do it.
"We just have to wait for George to get his act together."

Licia Albarino 2010
Albarino from Rias Baixas, Spain
Winemaker's Notes
Vibrant lemon-green in color, the Lícia Albariño exhibits a classic expression of the Albariño grape: intense and layered aromas of grapefruit, candied lemons, quince jelly, fresh herbs, green apples and a streak of minerality. On the palate it is full-bodied and well-balanced, with a long and persistent finish. This wine pairs deliciously with grilled fish—or any kind of seafood—Asian cuisines, rice dishes, salads and grilled vegetables.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "With its apple, peach and melon aromas, the bouquet is solid. Tha palate is a bit spritzy and spread thin, and that's confirmed via fleshy, dilute flavors of white peach and green melon. Plump and simple on the finish; good for salads, shrimp and grilled white meats."
Licia Winery
The Lícia label is a project between Winebow and winery owner Jose Limeres, a native of the Galician town of Pontevedra. Limeres, owner of several successful restaurants in Madrid, entered the wine business when he was searching for a reliable supplier of quality wines for his restaurants. He bought his first property in O Rosal and planted native varieties that flourished in its unique climate and soil. The resulting wines proved a hit, particularly his Albariño which strikes just the right balance of sugar and acidity. The vineyards for Lícia's wine are located in the O Rosal and Condado de Tea subzones of DO Rías Baixas. The vineyards of O Rosal run inland as far as Tuy and are terraced into the sides of the River Miño where it opens into a wide estuary. The topsoil is correspondingly alluvial, with clay and sand over granitic topsoil. Condado de Tea stretches from Tuy along the Miño Valley to meet the Ribiero DO. The area is made up of complex small river valleys. Here granite bedrock and slate come to the surface. This combination of terroirs gives Lícia a refreshing complexity that sets it apart.

About Rias Baixas(REE-ez BUY-shuss) Spain's prominent white wine region. Situated in Galacia, the region is wet and rainy with some large temperature changes due to its proximity to the coast. The main grape of note here is Albarino, the white variety known for creating fragrant and fruity wines perfect for seafood. The bottles are easily recognized as they all print "Albarino" on their label.
Notable FactsThere are sub-districts in Rias Baixas, a few of them are more prone to blending Albarino with some other indigenous grapes, which can make the wines more aromatic or fuller-bodied. Both single variety Albarino and blended wines excel in this area. Aromatic and light, one whiff of these whites may bring thoughts of a Sauvignon Blanc, but after one sip the creamy texture says otherwise. Typical aromas and flavors are peach, honeysuckle, lime and vanilla.
About Spain
The most popular red varieties of Spain include Tempranillo and Garnacha (Grenache). Whites don't garner quite as much recognition, but there are some regional varieties not to be missed, like Albarino and Verdejo. The popular red regions of Spain include Rioja, known for its outstanding wines of the Tempranillo grape; Ribera del Duero, producing high quality reds from Tempranillo and Garnacha; Galacia, with the sub-region of Rias Baixas, home to the deliciously crisp and floral Albarino grape; and Priorat, a region increasing in popularity with its high-quality cult reds. Other regions of note are Rueda, growing the Verdejo grape, La Mancha, a wide desert region, covered in the most planted white variety in the world, Airen, and Jumilla, making wines based on Monastrell (Mourvedre).
Spain's wine laws are based on the Denominacion de Origen (DO) classification system, devised in the 1930's. A four tiered system, the most basic level is Vina de Mesa (table wine) followed by Vino de la Tierra (country wine), DO and at the top DOC. Currently, only Rioja and Priorat have DOC status, while over 65 DO's scatter the country.
Most DO regions are classified and regulated by how long they age the wines. On a red wine label, one may find the terms Crianza, Reserva or Gran Reserva, denoting the wine's barrel and bottle time. Crianza is usually two years between barrel and bottle (the time in each depends on the DO and/or the winemaker), Reserva up to 4 years and Gran Reserva 5 – 6 years. Classifications of each region and wine are controlled by the region's Consejo Regulador.

Press Release: 04/17/2013
Oakland Zoo Featured in HBO Documentary "An Apology to Elephants"
|Nicky Mora, Senior Manager, Marketing/PR
|(510) 632-9525 x130
On Monday, April 22, 2013 "An Apology to Elephants," narrated and executive produced by Lily Tomlin and directed by Emmy winner Amy Schatz, with narration written by Jane Wagner, will debut at 7:00pmET/PT, on HBO. Oakland Zoo strongly supports the message of this film and is extremely proud to be a part of a documentary that showcases the plight of these magnificent animals.
The crux of this documentary is to explore the beauty and intelligence of elephants, tell the story of how these animals are exploited and treated in captivity, and shed light on the poaching of wild African elephants. Oakland Zoo�s elephant manager, Jeff Kinzley along with zoo president & CEO, Dr. Joel Parrott, and Colleen Kinzley, director of animal care were all involved with interviews and filming at Oakland Zoo.
"It is heart wrenching to see what elephants have gone through and still go through today in the name of entertainment," said Nancy Filippi, managing director at Oakland Zoo. As an organization, we feel the message of this film is directly in line with Oakland Zoo's mission. We hope this documentary is eye-opening to viewers and that it inspires them to take action for elephants.
Oakland Zoo is home to four African elephants, three females and one male. Their names are Donna, Lisa, M�Dunda, and Osh. More than six acres make up their expansive exhibit, which includes a swimming pool, trees, hills, and areas for dust bathing, which is a natural behavior among elephants. The elephants are managed with protected contact, meaning zookeepers and elephants do not share the same space; bull hooks are not used. The animals are never forced to do anything they do not want to do; instead, they are rewarded with treats for participating with foot care, morning routines, and health exams. Ten spreads (scattering of food throughout the exhibit) are done each day to encourage foraging and exercise. Truckloads of browse or tree branches are collected and donated from surrounding areas, to ensure the proper diet is given to the animals.
Conservation Connection:
Each year, Oakland Zoo honors elephants by hosting a Celebrating Elephants day event and an evening lecture. The day event's focus is to educate the public about elephants, explain why they should not be used for entertainment, and demonstrate what it is like to research elephants in the wild. The evening lecture is a more intimate gathering that features a guest speaker, silent auction, and reception. Proceeds from these events are donated to the Amboseli Trust for Elephants, which aims to ensure the long-term conservation and welfare of Africa's elephants in the context of human needs and pressures through scientific research, training, community outreach, public awareness and advocacy. Cynthia Moss and her research team at Amboseli have spent time in the field researching and leading the efforts to understand these intelligent and complex animals.
The Bay Area's award-winning Oakland Zoo is home to more than 660 native and exotic animals. The Zoo offers many educational programs and kid's activities perfect for science field trips, family day trips and exciting birthday parties. Nestled in the Oakland Hills, in 500-acre Knowland Park, the Zoo is located at 9777 Golf Links Road, off Highway 580. The East Bay Zoological Society (Oakland Zoo) is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization supported in part by members, contributions, the City of Oakland and the East Bay Regional Parks.

Series exploring Billy Collins' "Poetry 180" airs May 6-9 during Morning Edition
Colchester, Vt. — Vermont Public Radio will explore the book Poetry 180: A Turning Back To Poetry by former U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins in a a special series during Morning Edition May 6-9. The project is in collaboration with the Vermont Humanities Council's state-wide reading program, Vermont Reads.
The former U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins wrote that high school is "all too often the place where poetry goes to die." He set out on a mission to collect short, clear, contemporary poems, with the idea that teachers could read one per day, for the 180 day school year, and allow students to simply hear and absorb the poetry, with no discussion, explication or quizzes.
This year, schools and communities around Vermont are reading the anthology that resulted from that effort, called Poetry 180: A Turning Back To Poetry. The Vermont Humanities Council is collaborating with libraries and other non-profit organizations across the state to present activities and events related to Poetry 180 for children and adults.
Morning Edition Host Mitch Wertlieb and VPR News reporters will take a look at how poetry helps young children learn to read, and speak with Billy Collins. Listeners will also hear from Vermont poets Sydney Lea, Jody Gladding, Major Jackson and Galway Kinnell.
Vermont Edition, VPR's daily news magazine program, will take up the discussion on May 7 at noon and 7 p.m. with a conversation about why poetry seems to resonate with teenagers, but often gets overlooked by adults.
We are thrilled to continue our long-time partnership with the Vermont Humanities Council and Vermont Reads," said John Van Hoesen, senior vice president and chief content officer. "VPR's series on Poetry 180 creates a special opportunity for Vermonters to come together and discover poetry."
Listeners can follow the series and share their own thoughts about poetry at VPR.net.

Why are we told to not take God's love for granted?Negatively, it's usually used to control us. It's used to make us afraid of not being able to get it or keep it. It's used to dictate to us how to live our lives, how to feel, think and behave.Positively, it's used to make us continually mindful of God's love, always thinking about it, always thankful for it, always living up to it.I want to suggest that neither of these are perfect. Obviously, the first is fear based. Less … [Read more...]

February 25, 2013 by David Hayward 35 Comments
Love changes people, but it doesn't intend to.If you get a sniff of an agenda in what's being called love, run in the other direction please. Because that's not love.You are beautiful, amazing and fascinating as you are. You are loved as you are. Period!I've experienced it and seen it: when you realize you are overwhelmingly loved as you are, just as you are, with no ulterior motive to change you, the transformation is an amazing and happy one.

Two Morris students to study the Latino experience in Morris
Posted by Allyce Amidon '12 on Monday, Feb. 6, 2012
The city of Morris is gaining a reputation for harmoniously integrating Latino immigrants into the community. Two University of Minnesota, Morris students, Jordan Wente '15, Dodge Center, and Cristina Montanez '12, El Paso, Texas, are working with Spanish faculty Windy Roberts, teaching specialist, and Stacey Aronson, associate professor, to chronicle the Latino experience in Morris through a Center for Small Towns project.
In the past 10 years, the Latino population in Morris has risen 274 percent, which is substantial for a small town. Montanez and Wente are meeting with the Latino community in focus groups to determine what sets Morris apart from other communities. The students want to go beyond the official numbers and connect with the Latino community on a personal level. They feel the focus groups will create a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.
Montanez, a Spanish and psychology major with a minor in gender and women's sexuality studies, has conducted focus groups before, and her background in sociology and psychology made the position especially appealing. She was also intrigued because she is Hispanic and from a town much closer to the Mexican border than Minnesota. "I see so many people flourish and succeed here. It doesn't work like that in border towns there's so much more violence there. I wanted to find out what it is that makes it work here."
Wente, a statistics and economics major with a minor in Spanish, thought the position would be a good opportunity to pursue his interest in economic development. And overall, the project seemed like a good experience. Both Wente and Montanez are fluent in Spanish.
Wente and Montanez plan to meet with both newcomers and people who have been in Morris awhile. Their hope is to find out if people are getting the services they need, such as financial and English as a Second Language (ESL) services, and how these services have impacted their lives. "We want to see if the events and programs we are providing are actually working," says Wente. After the focus groups conclude, Montanez and Wente will work on translating the transcriptions and compiling data. They will be looking for similar themes from different people and different focus groups.
While the focus groups will be about the individuals within the group, Wente and Montanez hope to learn more about families, too. For example, are the children of Latino immigrants integrating well into their schools? Are the schools providing adequate support, especially with ESL classes?
Roberts has had both Montanez and Wente in her Spanish classes. She says: "I have known Cristina for two years now. She is an excellent person and a terrific student. When the Latino project came to me, I immediately thought of her. She accepted the job, and we have been working in organizing the focus groups, where she'll have a big role. I am confident that the project will be a success in all its components thanks to Cristina's involvement.
I had the pleasure to meet Jordan last spring as he visited one of my Spanish classes while making his decision about which college he'd attend in the fall. Jordan's Spanish is superb, and I immediately thought about him for the Latino project as well. We had several meetings, and his contributions have been great." Roberts says she is looking forward to "working more with these two outstanding UMM students in the spring to finish the project."
Funding for this project was provided in part by the Otto Bremer Foundation. Created in 1944, the Otto Bremer Foundation assists people in achieving full economic, civic, and social participation in and for the betterment of their communities. The foundation's work to help build and maintain vibrant communities is based on the vision and legacy of Otto Bremer, whose commitment to Bremer Bank communities and to those working to make their lives better, continues to guide the foundation. The Otto Bremer Foundation owns the majority share of Bremer Bank, and a portion of the bank's profits comes to the Foundation as dividends, enabling the Foundation to invest back in the bank communities in the form of grants and program-related investments. In 2010, more than $24 million in charitable donations were given across the Bremer footprint. Organizations whose beneficiaries are residents of Minnesota, North Dakota, or Wisconsin are eligible to apply for foundation grants, with priority given to communities served by Bremer Bank.

A world-class exponent of flamenco, Rocío Molina has established a reputation for her remarkable dancing, rare in its beauty, formidable technique and expressive freedom. Dedicated to the progression of her art form, she develops work with a 21st-century outlook, embracing the possibilities of sound and music in unexpected ways.
In Bosque Ardora, part of Dance Umbrella 2014, Molina draws on deep animal instincts to explore the struggle for survival in the natural world. Two male dancers and six musicians accompany her onstage as she integrates movement, drama, sound looping and a contemporary aesthetic to push the frontiers of flamenco once more. 'Unconventional and absolutely compelling' Evening Standard ★★★★★'Quixotic, complex, even chaotic, Rocío Molina roused is like a river in spate.

Liz lyrics
'Cause you might catch fire
Now you're talkin' to a man in a whole other kind of bag
Well I'm three parts tiger and one part snake
I'll ball you to sleep and I'll bite you awake
And I'm so good that I don't have to brag
I need an adding machine to count up all the women
I've ruined for other men
Now compared to me Paul Bunyan is a screamin' fag
I can shift more gears and pump more juice
I'll turn you every which way but loose
And I'm so damn good that I don't have to brag
Now there's twenty thirty beautiful women
A sleepin' at the foot of my bed
And every night, every night I hear 'em sighin'
They say that I don't miss a thing
They say that I'm the lovin' king
And I'm too nice a guy to say they're lyin'
Now I've been makin' love professionally
Since I was only six years old
And I really learned the way to wiggly wag
And still I'm such a modest man you know
I'm twice as great as I think I am
I'm so good that I don't have to brag
There's a line of chicks startin' at my window
And reachin' across the street
And it stretches 'way to the other side of town
They come to me from across the seas
On their knees just sayin', "Please"
And I'm too nice a guy to turn 'em down
Now I once got captured by some
Amazon women down in the Fiji Isles
They were fightin' over me to see who'd be my bride
I had to kill them all and I will admit it
And I won't tell you how I did it
But I'll tell you each one was smilin' when she died
Now the day I die every woman
In the country's gonna go around dressed in black
And they'll probably add another star to the American flag
And they'll build me a monument forty feet high
Sayin' it's a shame he had to die
He was so damn good he never had to brag
And I'm tellin' you men keep
Your eighteen year old daughters off of my back
And your wives, they like the way I carry on
And why don't you go look at your mother for a while
You notice she's wearin' a funny sorta smile
Well that just means I've been there and I've gone
Now if you got a frigid woman
I'm gonna cure her for a hundred dollars
You can bring her around my house at four o'clock
And you can come and pick her up at 4:03
If you can pry her off of me
I got a whole lot of others just waitin' 'round the block
Now if you're wonderin' how you're gonna get to me
Better bring a Cadillac full of money
'Cause I sure as hell ain't gonna swing without no swag
I can make you creep, I can make you crawl
Make you scream and climb the wall
And I'm so good that I don't have to brag
So baby don't call me up at three o'clock
In the mornin' no more threatenin' suicide
I mean go ahead and do it honey
'Cause wakin' me up is a drag
And you can leave a note for all the rest
Sayin' at least you had the very best
And he's so damn good that he don't have to brag
Now I'm warnin' all you women don't stand too close to me
'Cause you might catch fire
Now you're talkin' to a man in a whole other kind of bag
I'm three parts tiger and one part snake
I'll ball you to sleep and I'll bite you awake
And I'm so good that I don't have to brag
'Cause you might catch fire
Now you're talkin' to a man in a whole other kind of bag

Gov. Shumlin issued the following statement after the United States Postal Service included the White River Jct. mail-processing center on the list to remain open:
"This is great news for Windsor County and Vermont. By keeping the White River Junction facility open, the postal service will protect the 250 hardworking employees without implementing counterproductive cuts in processing plants or slowing down mail delivery service for Vermonters. My thanks go out to Sens. Bernie Sanders and Patrick Leahy and Congressman Peter Welch for their determination to protect rural post offices that are important to community life and economic opportunities."

светодиоды немного ярковаты и на мой взгляд — попса 90-х
USB2 did indeed introduce Transaction Translators for attaching FullSpeed and LowSpeed devices to a HighSpeed hub. However not only did the USB3 spec fail to follow this precedent, but it requires that USB3 hubs use the old USB2 protocol over the two original signal wires of it's uplink for all downstream HS/FS/LS devices. All USB3 cables must carry both the old HS/FS/LS signal wires and the four new SS conductors. USB3 hubs are effectively two separate hubs for two separate buses. They may not actually be two separate chips, but since they're separate logic blocks, they may as well have been.
XHCI root hubs do not have this constraint: they may provide a full USB2 HS channel's worth of bandwidth to each port.
At this point, implementing a USB2 controller driver on top of an XHCI stack would be non-trivial; maybe that's why we haven't seen one.
Hi, Dear Mikhail,
ORICO really appreciated your work and support for ORICO product.
Thanks for your good suggestion for ORICO A3H7, 7 port USB3.0 HUB, LED design and USB chager design. I will discuss it with ORICO concerning guys together. We will introduce your suggestion into ORICO new products and OEM service for customers in future.
Thanks again. :-)

Coria Estates
As a bi-cultural family, the story of Luis & Janice Coria begins from their separate family heritage and cultural backgrounds. Luis was born and raised in Mexico. He spent his early years helping his father growing vegetables and tending to the family livestock. At the age of 10 he decided that it was time that he should get a job and contribute to the family. He spent several years working near their family home, by the time he was 14 he ventured further seeking better opportunities and eventually found himself living in Oregon. Janice grew up in northern Idaho and had a normal small town upbringing. In the spring of 1979, while visiting family in Oregon, Janice and Luis met. By 1981 Luis and Janice were married and in December 1982 welcomed their first daughter to the family and their second daughter in 1985. Life sped by, but Luis still had a need to get back to his roots of farming.
In 1988 they purchased their first piece of property, a small 9 acre parcel which became the family home and later the original site of the family vineyard. From there they grew their business by planting 200 acres of Christmas trees and started a forestry contracting company. Early in 1997, the neighboring property came available, they decided to take the chance and put down more roots into the Southern Willamette Valley. Early in the winter of 1999 they planted their first Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris vines. Now these many years later the vineyard is a mature 81 acres with 14 acres planted in the spring of 2015. The entire family is now actively involved in creating a legacy for generations to come and this is joyfully expressed in each cluster of grapes and every bottle of wine.

I love a bit of Dr Suess in a fashion collection... I especially love seeing knitted wraps and big pins (designer fashion for crafty chicks!).

I think I prefer the Louis Vitton collection.

Oh yes... it's fun isn't it? I love Dr Seuss but I can't help feeling it all detracts from (instead of adding to / complementing) the fashion which is actually really interesting. Yah for the continued interest in the big knit :) Kx

Washington DC (AFNS) Dec 10, 2012
Purchasing core elements used to launch 28 rockets into space for National Security Space missions is the focus of negotiations between the Air Force and United Launch Alliance to establish a requirements contract, according to Defense Under Secretary Frank Kendall.
The plan is to procure 36 Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle cores over a five-year period, beginning in Fiscal Year 2013, according to a memo from Kendall to Secretary of the Air Force Michael B. Donley. Kendall is the under secretary for acquisition, technology and logistics.
According to Donley, the purpose of the space launch acquisition is to balance operational needs with lowering launch costs and foster competition.
"Our fundamental priorities are to be good stewards of the American taxpayer and control cost growth through further competition," said Donley.
"We will continue to work with potential new entrants as they progress toward certification, all the while maintaining mission assurance." Donley added that the Air Force will achieve these goals through launching national security satellites like GPS and other critical military missions.
A core is defined as the basic cylindrical unit of the rocket used to launch a payload into space.
Some payloads require three cores combined together in a "heavy lift" configuration to reach the prescribed orbit. The 36 launch vehicle cores represent a total of 28 launches, including 24 single core launches and four requiring the "heavy lift" configuration.
This space launch acquisition approach is based on the United Launch Alliance response to the Air Force's March 2012 request for proposal, a new entrant independent assessment, and an assessment of space vehicle deliveries.
"We made an informed decision based on criteria to the Congress about a year ago," said Scott Correll, Air Force Program Executive for Space Launch.
"This acquisition decision provides the best balance between operational requirements, budget and enabling a competitive environment. It also allows us to reduce costs while maintaining our focus on the warfighter and delivering 100 percent mission success.

Nicola Napoli
Nicola Napoli was the President of Artkino Pictures, Inc., the primary distributor of Soviet films in the United States, Canada, Central America and South America from 1940 to 1982. Napoli was also a member of the Communist Party of the United States (CPUSA) and is known to have passed classified American information to Soviet intelligence during World War II.
Napoli was born 16 November 1905 in New York of Italian parentage and was taken to Italy at an early age by his parents. He returned to the United States in 1924, and up to 1928 edited Il Lavoratore, an Italian Communist publication in New York. In the mid-1930s, he became an employee of Amkino Corp., at that time the US distributor of Soviet films. In 1936 Napoli travelled to Russia and other European countries. At one time Napoli was an officer of Intourist, Inc., the parent company of World Tourist, which was operated by Jacob Golos, high level operative in the CPUSA's secret apparatus. Shortly before Golos' death of a heart attack in November 1943, Golos told Soviet defector Elizabeth Bentley that he was turning Napoli over to another Russian contact to continue the covert relationship.
In 1940, following the collapse of Amkino Corp., Napoli founded, with Rosa Madell, Artkino Pictures to continue Amkino's mission. During World War II, with the Soviet Union as part of the Allies, Napoli saw the firm's imports being accepted by a far wider number of cinemas that during the 1930s, with its Red Scare. With the collapse of Soviet-American alliance following the War, Artkino was back on the "side of the enemy" and was registered with the U.S. Department of State under the Foreign Agents registration Act (FARA) as an agent of the Soviet Government. However, both the U.S. Department of Justice and the War Department had difficulty and no cooperation in gaining Artkino's full compliance with the FARA Act, an investigation under the Internal Security Act revealed. Following the death of Stalin and attendant changes within the Soviet film industry, allowing for production of non-political, artistic films, a wider market for Soviet film product resumed and Artkino found itself in increasing competition with other foreign film distributors in the United States. Nonetheless, the company held its own after Napoli's death, continuing under Madell's guidance until, nearing retirement age, she affiliated Artkino with International Film Exchange and allowed that company to take over Artkino's role in Soviet film importation and distribution by the late 1970s.
A Venona cable of decrypted Soviet intelligence traffic which lists the names of scientists engaged on the problem of atomic energy, has Saville Sax contacting Napoli, who then directed him to Sergey Kurnakov.
Nicola Napoli is referenced in the following Venona project decrypt: "1699 KGB New York to Moscow, 2 December 1944."

BRUSSELS (Nov. 16)
The declaration of an independent Palestinian state has raised more questions than it answered on the future of Middle East diplomacy, according to a leading Western statesman here.
Foreign Minister Leo Tindemans of Belgium said the declaration at the Palestine National Council meeting in Algiers Tuesday "is a new political fact."
But, he added, "it is not certain that this proclamation will simplify the search for a solution to the Mideast conflict."
Tindemans affirmed that the European Community considers an international peace conference under United Nations auspices the only road to a settlement.
The E.C. has not yet formulated a position on the Palestinian declaration, nor has it reacted to the PNC's endorsement of U.N. Security Council Resolution 242 as the basis for peace talks.
A statement is expected at the meeting of the 12 E.C. foreign ministers here next Monday. The Council of Ministers is currently under the chairmanship of Greece, probably the member state most sympathetic to the Palestinain cause.

Man V. Machine
I would not weep over the disappearance of machinery or consider it a calamity. But I have no design upon machinery as such. (YI, 19-1-1921, p. 21)
Reinstatement of Man
I have the conviction within me that, when all these achievements of the machine age will have disappeared, these our handicrafts will remain; when all exploitation will have ceased, service and honest labour will remain. It is because this faith sustains me that I am going on with my work
. Indomitable faith in their work sustained men like Stephenson and Columbus. Faith in my work sustains me.
Faith in my work sustains me, but there is also added to it the conviction that all the other things that seem to challenge my faith are doomed
. I am clear that, whilst this machine age aims at converting men into machines, I am aiming at reinstating man turned machine into his original estate.
Ideally I would rule out all machinery, even as I would reject this very body, which is not helpful to salvation, and seek the absolute liberation of the soul. From that point of view, I would reject all machinery, but machines will remain because, like the body, they are inevitable. The body itself is the purest piece of mechanism; but if it is a hindrance to the highest flights of the soul, it has to be rejected. (YI, 20-11-1924, p. 386)
Evil of Machinery
Saving of Labour
The saving of labour of the individual should be the object, and not human greed the motive. Thus, for instance, I would welcome any day a machine to straighten crooked spindles. Not that blacksmiths will cease to make spindles; they will continue to provide spindles, but when the spindle goes wrong, every spinner will have a machine to get it straight. Therefore, replace greed by love and everything will be all right. (YI, 13-11-1924, p. 378)
I can have no consideration for machinery which is meant either to enrich the few at the expense of the many, of without cause to displace the useful labour of many. (H, 22-6-1935, p. 146)
Mechanization is good when hands are too few for the work intended to be accomplished. It is an evil where there are more hands than required for the work, as is the case of India. The problem with us is not how to find leisure for the teeming millions inhabiting our villages. The problem is how to utilize their idle hours, which are equal to the working days of six months in the year. (H, 16-11-1934, p. 316)
But why not, it is asked, save the labours of millions, and give them more leisure for intellectual pursuits? Leisure is good and necessary up to a point only. God created man to eat his bread in the sweat of his brow, and I dread te prospect of our being able to produce all that we want, including our food-stuffs, out of a conjurors hat.
A factory employs a few hundreds and renders thousands unemployed. I may produce tons of oil from an oil-mill, but I also drive thousands of oil-men out of employment. I call this destructive energy, whereas production by the labour of millions of hands is constructive and conducive to the common good. Mass-production through power-driven machinery, even when State-owned, will be of no avail.
My opposition to machinery is much misunderstood. I am not opposed to machinery as such. I am opposed to machinery which displaces labour and leaves it idle. (H, 15-9-1946, p. 310)
I refuse to be dazzled by the seeming triumph of machinery. I am uncompromisingly against all destructive machinery. But simple tools and instruments and such machinery as saves individual labour and lightens the burden of the millions of cottage I should welcome. (YI, 17-6-1926, p. 218)
I hold that the machinery method is harmful when the same thing can be done easily by millions of hands not otherwise occupied. It is any day better and safer for the millions, spread in the seven hundred thousand villages of India, scattered over an area nineteen hundred miles long and fifteen hundred broad, that they manufacture their clothing in their own villages, even as they prepare their own food. These villages cannot retain the freedom they have enjoyed from time immemorial if they do not control the production of prime necessaries of life. (YI, 2-7-1931, p. 161)
I would categorically state my conviction that the mania for mass-production is responsible for the world crises. Granting for the moment that machinery may supply all the needs of humanity, still it would concentrate production in particular areas, so that you would have to go in a roundabout way to regulate distribution, whereas, if there is production and distribution both in the respective areas where things are required, it is automatically regulated and there is less chance for fraud, non for speculation.
Concentration of Wealth
Organization of machinery for the purpose of concentrating wealth and power in the hands of a few and for the exploitation of many I hold to be altogether wrong. Much of the organization of machinery of the present age is of that type. The movement of the spinning-wheel is an organized attempt to displace machinery from that state of exclusiveness and exploitation and to place it in its proper state. Under my scheme, therefore, men in change of machinery will think not of themselves or even of the nation to which they belong, but of the whole human race. (YI, 17-9-1925, p. 321)
Dead machinery must not be pitted against the millions of living machines represented by the villagers scattered in the seven hundred thousand villages of India. Machinery to be well used has to help and ease human effort. The present use of machinery tends more and more to concentrate wealth in the hands of a few in total disregard of millions of men and women whose bread is snatched by it out of their mouths.
Under my system, again, it is labour which is the current coin, not metal. Any person who can use his labour has that coin, has wealth. He converts his labour into cloth, he converts his labour grain. If he wants paraffin oil, which he cannot himself produce, he uses his surplus grain for getting the oil. It is exchange of labour on free, fair and equal termshence it is no robbery. You may object that this is a reversion to the primitive system of barter. But is not all international trade based on the barter system? (H, 2-11-1934, p.302)
I am personally opposed to great trusts and concentration of industries by means of elaborate machinery . If India takes to Khaddar and all it means, I do not lose the hope of India taking only as much of the modern machinery system as may be considered necessary for the amenities of life and labour-saving devices. (YI, 24-7-1924, p. 246)
No Exploitation
What is the cause of the present chaos? It is exploitation, I will not say of the weaker nations by the stronger, but of sister nations by sister nations. And my fundamental objection to machinery rests on the fact that it is machinery that has enabled these nations to exploit others. In itself it is a wooden thing and can be turned to good purpose or bad. But it is easily turned to a bad purpose as we know.
Place of Machinery
An improved plough is a good thing. But if by some chance, one man who could plough up by some mechanical invention of his the whole of the land of India, and control all the agricultural produce, and if the millions had no other occupation, they would starve, and being idle, they would become dunces, as many have already become. There is hourly danger of many more being reduced to that unenviable state.
I would welcome every improvement in the cottage machine, but I know that it is criminal to displace hand labour by the introduction of power-driven spindles unless one is, at the same time, ready to give millions of farmers some other occupation in their homes. (YI, 5-1-1925, p. 377)
I would prize every invention of science made for the benefit of all. There is a difference between invention and invention. I should not care for the asphyxiating gases capable of killing masses of men at a time. The heavy machinery for work of public utility, which cannot be undertaken by human labour, has its inevitable place, but all that would be owned by the State and used entirely for the benefit of the people. (H, 22-6-1935, p. 146)
Challenge of Machine Age
It seems to be possessed of a will or genius of its own. It is antagonistic to mans labour. Thus it tends more to displace man, one machine doing the work of hundred, if not a thousand, who go to swell the army of the unemployed and the under-employed, not because it is desirable but because that is its law. In America it has perhaps reached the extreme limit.
I have been opposed to it not from today, but even before 1908, when I was in South Africa, surrounded by machines. Their onward march had not only not impressed me but had repelled me. It then dawned on me that to suppress and exploit the millions, the machine is the devil par excellence, it had no place in mans economy if, as social units, all men were to be equal. It is my belief that the machine has not added to mans stature and it will not serve the world but disrupt it, unless it is put in its proper place.
Then I read Ruskins Unto This Last during a train journey to Durban and it gripped me immediately. I saw clearly that, if mankind was to progress and to realize the ideal of equality and brotherhood, it must adopt and act on the principle of Unto This Last. It must take along with it even the dumb, the halt and the lame. Did not Yudhishthira, the Prince of Righteousness, refuse to enter heaven without his faithful dog? (H, 25-8-1946, p. 281)
Today there is such an onslaught on India of Western machinery that for India to withstand it successfully would be nothing short of a miracle. (H, 17-11-1946, p. 485)

Ask a Mechanic Online and Get Answers to Your Car Questions
Hello and thank you for using Just answer! I'm Billy and i will assist you with this. Feel free to ask if you need any further info.
I would appreciate some further info on the matter:
- please confirm that engine oil cooler was checked, and is not leaking.
- is engine overheating, or do you have idling problems, or water missing?
- have you had any symptoms related within the past few months?
yes, cooler was checked and not leaking
no leaks, just oil desapeared
no problems in the past, car is 2007 model 60.000 km
oil disappeared only to appear in engine coolant....right?
could be a internal crack on the cooler carrier?
ok.........if nno outside leaks are detected (that would cause the leak and the mix), and outside leaks would include pipes, hoses and obviously oil cooler, then the other possibilities would include inside the cooler (requiring cooler replacement), or inside engine, mostly head gasket......
yes it could....i just refered to that.....
the cooler is 100% right, i just pressure tested it
so the leak has to be inside the engine.....\
i have to beleave that´s the case, but not sure
i know.,....and i suspected that you already knew that, only you needed confirmation (as obviously the engine is still running well)
But, i would advise the following:
- get some block solder additive (to be added into coolant)
- and follow the instructions on the bottle (to include putting in, warming engine, leaving overnight, and then draining coolant, and refilling with fresh coolant)
As if the leak is small enough, the block solder would take care of it....so you are good to go.....
not sure if it works sience the pressure in the oil chanels, is superior than the water pressure
in any case i will try it
i have tried it, and it does work sometimes (mainly due to leak size), if small enough, it will work, if not....it will not....
ok thanks
Thank you for trusting JA and myself.......get back to me if further info is needed........
by than Ernest
Best of luck Ernest!
