Year in and year out, Joey Chestnut makes the hot dog eating contest look so easy.

The college sophomore not only finished last in the contest, but he also felt like something was stuck in his throat and was unable to keep any food or liquids down that night and the next morning.

Why do they call it limestone when it's not even green?
The word lime meaning "green" entered the English language from the Arabic, probably through Crusaders, etc.
Limestone, the grey stone made of calcium carbonate was crushed and heated to produce powder that Anglo-Saxons mixed with loam to make mortar, and was originally called "Loamstone". You've guessed it - say it quickly, and see what happens.

"I can see China from my rest house."
"Be prepared. The greatest menace of all has come to America."
"We English more and learn. Philippines is belongs to America already, no, state I mean. So we communicate people in them very well."
"Divided we stand, united we fall"
The State of the Philippines (Esteyt op di Pilipins in Tagalog) is the 51st state of the United States of America. It gained statehood in February 31, 1994 after pro-statehood Philippine government threatened to pull all overseas Filipinas working in America. Americans, fearing the shortage of Asian vaginas, accepted Philippines to the Union.
edit History
edit Path to Statehood
In the beginning, there walks a primate in a cave somewhere in the Ancient Philippines.
When the US Congress approved Philippines' statehood, General Fidel Castro Ramos along with seven million men, whose Filipina wives were always fucked by Americans in the mainland making them stand against the statehood, stormed Malacanang, the White House of the Philippines. They killed all pro-statehood officials in Malacanang. However, the US government was able to evacuate pro-statehood President George H.W. Bush, the 41st US president who later married a Filipina and moved to the Philippines, started his career in Philippine politics, started the pro-statehood movement in the Philippines and ultimately won the Philippine Presidency.
Ramos installed himself as the new President of the Republic of the Philippines, Dictator of all Dictators and Supreme General of Philippine forces in the Philippines. Afraid of losing support from majority Filipinos, US quickly installed Bush as the new Governor of the brand new Philippine state. US raised its new flag having an additional star.
edit Philippine War
US quickly sent its forces to the Philippines. It includes the most elite, most technologically advanced military units and most war-tested soldiers to the Philippines: Wyoming National Guards, Vermont State Police and the JROTC of Brien McMahon High School of Norwalk, Connecticut. The result: Philippine victory.
Apparently, some MIT hackers hacked the hack-proof-but-still-hackable computer networks of US Armed forces. They replaced the list of most formidable military units to be sent to the Philippines. They did it as a welcome for their new Filipino brothers but other Americans, angered by the deaths of thousands soldiers (soldiers who thought they'll just do some medical mission in the Philippines), have expressed their anger against the MIT hackers. Americans want them to be executed. And seconds before their deaths, one of them said, "We are not computer codes. We can't be executed. We can't even be compiled." Bang!! And that's what these MIT martyrs got. MIT have actually built imposing statues of the martyrs. A text below the statues reads, "Geekiness to the end."
And so the first futile US assault to the Philippines was followed by massive and well-coordinated attack force. Now, it composed of the true elite forces, from Delta Force to NYPD Swat. But Ramos is clever. He has a plan. Ramos mobilized all Muslim Filipinos to the coastlines. The Muslims were told that they'll just need to observe the sunset and after that Christians and Muslims will finally earn peace. The idiot Muslims believed. They waited. And waited. And waited. "Hell, if we're to observe sunset, how come the government ordered us sit here and from from 6am?", someone uttered. No one answered for they are idiots. They're too idiots they don't know the answers. The US Special Delta-to-Omega forces arrived. Before landing on the beaches, they saw the unusual line of people along the beach. Unbeknownst to the Muslims, Filipino soldiers are in their rear. They fired to the ships. The US fleet counter-attacked sending missiles to the coastlines. That killed thousands of Muslims. Filipino soldiers recorded the whole thing and distributed them to the Muslim world.
Muslims all over the world retaliated. Al-qaeda, Taliban, and others emerged. They attacked United Sates. Suddenly, the nation the land of peace and prosperity, the land of flowing semen and honey where every men are intoxicated with large tits and wild sex, became the the new Walt Terrorland: attracting terrorists from all over the world, be it Muslims, Communists or PETA. It's a great theme park that its area encompasses the whole US territory and that its rides were highly innovative: United Air, American Air, and any xxx Air you can name.
US negotiated with Ramos. The solution: Two governments in one territory. Ramos' Philippines (RP, yeah he changed it. It should have been Republic of the Philippines) is independent. Bush's Philippines, the State of the Philippines which this article is all about, became the 51st state of the United States. When a person in the Philippine says he's an American, then he aligns himself with Bush's Philippines; if he says he's a Filipino, then he aligns with RP; if he says he's from the south, Oh god that's a fuckin' terrorist.
edit Geography
edit Location
Philippines is surrounded by water, so no country surrounds it. That makes it hard to locate where the hell the Philippine state is.
edit Climate
Philippines climate varies as the effect of Global Warming, and Global Cooling, a global phenomenon happening only in the Philippines.

Police say a man asked to use his cell phone to make a call from jail after being arrested for shoplifting, but he didn't call his family.
Michael Harp, 29, asked to make the call after being booked into the Corbin, Kentucky jail on shoplifting charges. A short time later, police say a pizza delivery driver showed up to deliver five pizzas to the officer who arrested Harp.
The officers traced the call to Harp through his cellphone number. WKYT-TV reports that Harp said it was a misunderstanding and that other people used his phone in the jail.
Harp now faces additional charges including theft of identity, theft by deception, and impersonating a police officer.

Interest in Native American genealogy has increased greatly since the 1980s, and access to records of genealogical and historical importance has become easier through microfilming projects undertaken by various federal, state, and privately funded institutions. Because of the interest in Indian tribes of Oklahoma, this section focuses on records available to the genealogist and historian for those tribes.
The majority of the records cited in this chapter are available from the Oklahoma Historical Society in Oklahoma City; the Western History Collection at the University of Oklahoma in Norman, Oklahoma; the National Archives—Southwest Region in Fort Worth, Texas; the National Archives in Washington, D.C.; the Family History Library of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Salt Lake City; or the American Genealogical Lending Library in Bountiful, Utah.

Indian Removal
During the administration of President Andrew Jackson (1829–1837), the removal of Indians in the East to Indian Territory west of the Mississippi River became an explicit policy. As early as 1803, with the Louisiana Purchase, such removals were officially encouraged, and some Indians did voluntarily move west.
Under Jackson, however, treaties were negotiated that traded tribal lands in the East for land in the unorganized territory west of the Mississippi River. An act of 28 May 1830 (4 Stat. 411) specifically authorized the president to exchange these lands. The actual removals were conducted between 1830 and 1836 by the Office of the Commissary General of Subsistence and were supervised by the military. Some Indians, however, were allowed to move by themselves, and individual Indians who wished to remain in the East could accept a "reservation" of land in fee simple and remain as citizens, giving up all rights of tribal membership. The removal process was largely complete by the late 1840s.
The removal was not without problems, most of which concerned reservations granted to Indians in the East and the compensation to Indians for losses. The three most troublesome treaties were the treaty of 29 December 1835 with the Cherokees, the treaty of 29 September 1830 with the Choctaws, and the treaty of 24 March 1832 with the Creeks.
Numerous treatments of the removal policy are available; among them are Annie H. Abel's The History of Events Resulting in Indian Consolidation West of the Mississippi and Grant Foreman's Indian Removal.30

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo men's basketball team jumped out to a 24-11 lead and never looked back as the Lions claimed a 71-44 win over visiting Tampa in Sunshine State Conference action at a rowdy Marion Bowman Activities Center on Wednesday evening.
To many in attendance, the game seemed a carbon copy of the first meeting as the Lions opened up a 13-point lead just 10 minutes in. By halftime the Lions were up 20 at 39-19 and shooting an astounding 60 percent (15-of-25) from the field. Opening up a 30 point lead in the second half, Saint Leo managed to coast to the win.
"I thought we did a great job with ball pressure and our help-side was excellent," Head Coach Lance Randall said while critiquing his Lions'. 'We gambled a little bit in the first half and let (Tampa) get loose and they knocked down some jumpers, but I thought our defense was tough. I think we're getting better defensively. I thought our bench was very good and I thought it was a good energy game."
"We're getting better, and we've just got to keep getting better."
Marcus Ruh led the way for Saint Leo (11-10, 5-6 SSC) with a game-high 23 points on 8-of-13 shooting including five 3-pointers. An 8-for-14 night helped Dominick Robinson tally 18 points in 25 minutes on the hardwood.
The Lions finished the evening shooting 51 percent (28-of-55) as an 8-for-17 (47.1%) effort was split between all 14 players.
Tampa (6-16, 3-10 SSC) was led by 11 points from Stefon Barfield as the Spartans shot 40 percent (15-for-38) from the field.
Riding a two-game win-streak, Saint Leo now travels to Rollins College to face the Tars on Saturday afternoon. The Lions and Tars are scheduled to tip-off at 4 p.m. at the Alfond Sports Center in Winter Park, Fla.

Hi,I want to build a new web,the keywords are:PP woven bags,PP woven fabric, now I got one questions:
I used Google keyword tool, the results of these relevant and similar words:Keywords Competition Search volume per monthPP woven bags 0.68 8100PP woven fabric 0.64 2900PP woven 0.56 18100
PP woven, this word is lower competition and big search volume, however,it is very broard.Moreover,I searched it in Google, search results are PP woven bags,PP woven fabric,polypropylene woven bags,polypropylene woven fabric,etc.,but most of competitors don't use "PP woven" as the title of hompage.
My question is: Can I use "PP woven" as my keyword for homepage title?
It is advisable for your home page meta title to be general. It must include the general terms of your services or products that you are offering.
In other words, a decent formula ooks as follows:
[Your Primary Main Service or Product] - [Other Products or Services ] | [Name of your Website].
Make sure your home page meta title is not more than 67 characters.
Concerning your question, Yes you can use any kind of title you want just make sure your home page meta title is kinda covering the purpose of your website, services and pages. Keep your users in mind first then please the search engines.
Hope that helps!
The Kings of Knowledge have a bit different opinion about the maximum number of characters in the <title> tag.
Some Google results:
But also:
I should say something as for instance:[name of company] : Recyclable Polypropylene (PP) woven bags and other fabrics, worldwide deliverance.
[name of company] : Recyclable Polypropylene (PP) woven bags and other fabrics, worldwide deliverance.
That's absolutely right. And it demonstrates how useless it is to rely on this kind of information from self-styled experts.
The fact is that there is no magic number. To say that the title should be "less than 64" or that "70 is best practice" is rubbish. A title should be as long as necessary to give a quick idea of the contents - and no longer. It's true that search engines will disregard any text that is beyond a certain number of characters, but if you reach that number, the chances are that the title is already too long.
Really, this is no different from a headline in a newspaper or a chapter title in a book. The main thing is that it tells the reader what the content is about, without them having to spend an undue amount of time reading it. Focus on that - and forget about arbitrary rules and counts.
If your title is well written to tell the reader what the content is about but cannot be displayed on search result pages, how good would that be. The title length is important, and the quickest way to know it is to make a quick search to see the number of character in titles displayed by your search engine.
Search your marketing, your target community, target countries etc, I think these things can give a good idea how to chose a good title for your website.
Your web's title should be independent from your competitor's title. You should focus on your product, services and at last website name.
Title tag is not only about keywords. It's about how compelling it is in the eyes of casual users. First you should ask yourself what is the most compelling keyword among all. You can add some actions words to it.

A report titled "Sceptics of Darwin" and dated 16 July 2007 in Der Tagesspiegel, a German daily with a circulation of 150,000 and published in Berlin, contained the following lines:
... The struggle being waged by creationists against the theory of evolution developed by Darwin in the 19th century is not limited to U.S. schools and high schools. Devout creationists – conservative Catholics, Evangelicals and Muslims – have become increasingly influential in European countries. The Atlas of Creation, by the Turkish writer Adnan Oktar, has been sent out to schools all over Europe. Politicians in the field of education in Italy, Poland and Holland have treated this creationist movement with understanding.

You'll see and hear some 100,000 seals on the beach, but since this is a video you will be spared having to smell the pungent odor of 100,000 marine mammals.

(This is the first of four posts detailing the mods that I have made to my CharGriller Smoker Pro.)
This mod suspends a Vegetable Shaker Basket with the ends trimmed off with Stainless threaded rod. Ends were trimmed with a Dremel cutting wheel.
The bottom of the basket is replaced with the SFB grill cut to fit. This permits the ash to fall through better than the 1/2x1/2 grid of the basket, avoiding the 4 hour choke that can occur when ash accumulates in the basket preventing good air flow. The original bottom was removed with dykes.
This mod also adds an air block around the edges of the basket to force air through the charcoal rather than around it. Air that goes around cools the cooking chamber, rather than heating it. The rim was cut with a Roto-Zip equipped with metal cutting blade. Needs serious eye protection.
Basket in use:
Top view of the basket with threaded rods installed and bottom replaced with SFB Grill.
The basket has had the ends trimmed off (handle mount included).

Edge view of the basket showing placement of rod and remainder of original basket bottom folded around the new bottom to hold it in place.

Made in two parts because:
1. Could not readily find a larger sheet of 24 Ga. steel to work with, and
2. One piece with not fit through SFB door. Two overlapping pieces do.
Cut freehand with Roto-zip with metal cutting blade.

HOUSTON - Chad Holley has new attorneys in his federal civil rights lawsuit against several former Houston police officers for allegedly stomping on his neck in an arrest that was caught on camera.
Holley's attorney, Ben Hall, has withdrawn from the case. Court documents show Hall requested to be removed, but no reason was given. The documents show Holley now has new attorneys.
The suit was filed against several HPD officers involved in Holley's March 2010 arrest.
Four HPD officers were criminally charged in connection with the case and were fired by the department the same day.
Andrew Blomberg was acquitted in May 2012. The other officers are now awaiting trial.

Skinny Pumpkin Recipes for Fall
The crisp autumn air, changing leaves and Sunday football are some of the biggest perks of fall, but nothing compares to the distinct taste of the season; everything and anything pumpkin.
The crisp autumn air, changing leaves and Sunday football are some of the biggest perks of fall, but nothing compares to the distinct taste of the season; everything and anything pumpkin.
As much as we love the festive squash in anything from lattes to pie, the tasty, seasonal treats are usually not so good for our diets. Instead of depriving ourselves from the most delicious food of fall, we've compiled some low-fat recipes that include all things pumpkin.
So treat yourself this autumn to some delicious pumpkin-flavored snacks, and don't feel guilty about going back for seconds. Or thirds, we won't judge you.
Skinny Pumpkin Spice Latte
Although Starbucks is the king of the Pumpkin Spice Latte (and is celebrating 10 years of serving the drink!), we made our own version with less fat and sugar. Plus, the seasonal beverage is super easy to make at home. No long wait in line, AND no extra calories? Getting your pumpkin and caffeine fix has never tasted so sweet.
Mini Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
Chocolate makes everything better, especially these Skinny Mini Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins from Skinny Taste. The better-for-you recipe uses pumpkin puree, egg whites and whole wheat flour, but the yummy muffins taste just like their full-fat counterparts. If mini muffins aren't your thing (say what?), then you can make them in a full-sized muffin tin for about half the amount of muffins for a delicious on-the-go breakfast or dessert.
Skinny Pumpkin Parfaits
Parfaits are such an adorable treat. The presentation of the layers and toppings is so nice, I almost feel bad digging my spoon in and messing up the natural design. But for these pumpkin parfaits from Six Sisters Stuff made with cottage cheese and pumpkin puree, I don't think I'll think twice. Top the recipe off with vanilla wafer cookies and light whipped cream, and you have a quick and tasty snack.
Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
Pumpkin puree, whether scooped out of the squash or from a can, is an essential ingredient in making anything pumpkin flavored. However, the seeds from pumpkins are just as delicious. The best part? They're packed with vitamins and antioxidants, and make for a naturally healthy snack. Whether you prefer salty or sweet seeds, we've got the ultimate pumpkin seed recipe that takes what nature already gave us, and adds some spices for a tasty kick. Roasted pumpkin seeds are the perfect anytime, anywhere snack. All the more reason to carve up your own pumpkin!
Skinny Pumpkin Pie Dip
Pumpkin pie isn't just for Thanksgiving – or to be served in pie form, for that matter. This Skinny Pumpkin Pie Dip from The Domestic Rebel takes all of the rich, creamy flavor of pumpkin pie and transforms it into a sweet low-fat dip. She uses graham crackers to scoop up the seasonal goodness, and garnishes with a few candy corns. It's perfect to make for a fall party – or to eat entirely by yourself in one sitting, who are we kidding?
Skinny Pumpkin and Turkey Chili
There's no shortage of pumpkin sweets, but a recipe for a hearty and filling meal made with pumpkin (that's not a diet breaker) is hard to come by. Insert the Skinny Pumpkin and Turkey Chili recipe from The Skinny Fork. The flavorful recipe is chock-full of spices and healthy ingredients, and can easily be thrown together in a short amount of time. Leave the crock pot on for 6-8 hours to cook the chili for a tasty meal that will leave your house smelling amazing, too!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/10/2012 (1759 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
I am Mennonite. Am I German? It is a question that has often been asked and has, at various times, been controversial.
First of all, we need to acknowledge that being Mennonite has, and continues to have, both ethnic and religious dimensions. There are many who have become Mennonite as an expression of their faith and the idea of Mennonites being German is foreign to them.
The Mennonite World Conference reports there are more Mennonites in Africa than in North America and certainly they are not German.
There also are the Swiss Mennonites, whom we find mostly in Ontario and the Northeastern U.S., for whom this question has its own answers.
Our question here then is much narrower. Should the Mennonites in Manitoba be considered part of the German ethnic group in the province?
Mennonites have migrated to Manitoba from the Russian Empire in the 1870s, from the Soviet Union in he 1920s, as refugees after the Second World War, and as return migrants from Latin America.
In the aftermath of both wars, many Mennonites left Manitoba and many of their descendants have returned from places such as Paraguay, Mexico and Belize.
All these Mennonite migrant groups trace their origins to the Dutch-North German areas of Europe during the Reformation of the 16th century. Mennonites were set apart from other reformation groups by their practice of adult baptism -- a radical idea for the time. Most of them would have been Dutch. Persecution in the Netherlands and the greater tolerance of Polish rulers brought Mennonites to the lowlands of present-day Poland, where religious separateness and a need for close co-operation in draining the swamps of the Vistula delta eventually produced an ethnic group.
While the "high" language of church continued to be Dutch, the language of everyday became Low German, an amalgam of Dutch, Saxon Low German, local Prussian and the occasional loan word from Swedish and other European languages.
When the area came under the control of the Prussian kings in the 18th century, the "high" language for Mennonites became German. After 1789, further migration to Ukraine, then part of the Russian Empire, solidified German as the language and Dutch disappeared from Mennonite identity. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, Mennonites steadily became more German.
There were bumps along the way. After the Russian Revolution, Mennonites tried to reconstruct a Dutch identity to escape the legacy of being the enemy during the First World War, an attempt that was controversial in the community. Again after the Second World War, when Mennonite refugees in Europe were in danger of losing their United Nations status as displaced persons, Mennonite historians were called upon to make the case that Mennonite identity was Dutch, not German.
In Canada, the First World War also was a challenge to the German identity Mennonites here had come to embrace and many Mennonites reverted to becoming Dutch.
In Winkler, for instance, 80 per cent of its 458 citizens considered themselves German in the 1911 census. In the 1921 census, 86 per cent of Winkler's 812 residents claimed they were Dutch.
So are Mennonites still German? There is likely still not a simple answer. There are, however, general patterns that shed light on the question. Among Germans, there has often been a distinction between Volksdeutsche (ethnic Germans) and Reichsdeutsche (Germans from the German state). To the extent Mennonites are German, they tended to be ethnic Germans. The Mennonites of the 1870s were more isolated, not touched as much German nationalism, and hence more "ethnic" as opposed to "national" Germans.
Their descendants who have lived here ever since have the longest exposure to mainstream Canadian society and culture. Their identity is less German, more "Mennonite." The later immigrants to Canada were more German in a national sense. The 1920s immigrants from the Soviet Union had embraced modern Germany, its literature and ethos to a considerable extent, while the refugees of the post-Second World War era had been saved from Bolshevism by Hitler. Those Mennonites who went to Mexico and Paraguay in the 1920s deliberately chose geographic isolation in northern Mexico and the Gran Chaco and, not surprisingly, their school and church language remained German while the language of everyday continued to be Low German.
The descendants of these Mennonites refer to themselves as "Germans" (dietsche), even though for most there is very little knowledge of or connection to Germany.
Maybe we will have to acknowledge that our ethnic identity is not part of our DNA as much as we sometimes think. Being Mennonite and German is somewhat contextual. Mennonites, like many other Canadians, cloak themselves in an ethnic identity in those contexts where it suits them.
Mennonites can be German, they could be Dutch (although less and less so), but they can also be something else. A colleague at work, who is Dutch, leaves no doubt about his ethnicity when the Netherlands is playing soccer.
Who would Mennonites in Manitoba cheer for in a soccer match? Probably not the Dutch or Germans. Some would cheer for Paraguay; most would identify most clearly with the Canadian women's soccer team.
Hans Werner is a professor of Mennonite studies at the University of Winnipeg.

Ringworm is a skin infection caused by a fungus. It usually causes a round rash on the skin that may itch. It grows well in warm, moist areas, such as locker rooms and swimming pools, and in skin folds.
You can get ringworm by touching someone who has it or by sharing towels, clothing, or sports equipment.
It is often easily treated with an antifungal cream.

Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center Performs Nebraska's First Single-Incision Robotic Hysterectomy: Among the first 50 facilities in the nation to offer this innovative procedureAugust 21 2013
A surgical team at Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center performed Nebraska's first single-incision robotic hysterectomy on August 1. The surgery was performed through a tiny incision (less than an inch) in the belly button, making the procedure virtually scarless.
The surgery was led by Gregory Heidrick, MD, the only surgeon in the region trained to perform this innovative procedure using the latest technology available – the da Vinici® Single-Site™ robotic surgery system. Saint Elizabeth is among 50 hospitals currently offering the surgery.
The technology used to perform the procedure was approved by the FDA within the last seven months. The instrumentation allows the surgeon to remove the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries through one small incision. Previous robotic surgeries required up to four incisions.
"It is exciting to be on the forefront of this technology. Just a few years ago, a hysterectomy left a large scar from the belly button all the way to the top of the pubic bone," says Dr. Heidrick. "Today, we are able to offer our patients a revolutionary surgery that leaves a minimal scar that is often hidden in the belly button."
For the surgery, Dr. Heidrick makes a 2.3 centimeter incision in the patient's belly button. This allows a port, or tube, to be placed in the opening. Through this port, the robot's camera and robotic arms are moved into the patient's abdomen.
Dr. Heidrick then sits at a console, viewing 3D, high definition images, while using controls to move robotic arms and instruments inside the patient's body. The system translates the surgeon's hand, wrist and finger movements into precise, real-time movements of the surgical instruments.
"We are proud to be one of the first hospitals in the United States to offer our patients a single-incision hysterectomy," says Nancy Gondringer, director of surgical services at Saint Elizabeth. "It demonstrates our commitment to offering women the most advanced, minimally-invasive surgical options."
In addition to a hidden scar, the benefits of this surgical procedure may include shorter hospital stay, faster recovery and less pain. "Women no longer have to worry about a scar and missing weeks of work," says Dr. Heidrick. "Most patients go home the same day as the procedure and only have to take ibuprofen for the pain."
According to the National Institutes of Health, hysterectomies are very common – one in three women in the United States has one by the age of 60.
In addition to single-incision hysterectomy, Saint Elizabeth offers single-incision gallbladder removal. For more information on Saint Elizabeth Robotic Surgery Center, visit www.SaintElizabethOnline.com/robotic-surgery.html

Flood Safety: How to Prepare and Protect Yourself from Floods
Fairfax County Office of Public
12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 551
Fairfax, VA 22035-0065
July 7, 2005
Flood Safety: How to Prepare and Protect Yourself from Floods
The National Weather Service has issued a flash flood watch in effect through Friday afternoon, July 8, throughout most of the Washington D.C. metropolitan area, including Fairfax County. Thunderstorms are expected to develop by early evening and persist overnight; in addition remnants of Tropical Storm Cindy will affect the region through Friday morning, bringing more widespread and heavy rain to the area. Next week, Hurricane Dennis is expected to touch ground in the United States and bring more rain.
County residents should be prepared for possible flooding over the next few days if heavy rain arrives and area creeks and small streams rise significantly. According to the National Weather Service, floods cause more damage ($4.1 billion) and loss of life (127 people on average) annually nationwide than any other natural disaster. If you live in a flood-prone area, it's important to protect yourself and your family from the consequences of flooding.
A flood watch means that flooding is possible but not imminent. A flood warning means that flooding is already occurring or will soon occur.
Fairfax County officials remind residents that this is a good time to review your family disaster plan and be prepared to implement it. The following advice may help protect lives and reduce damage before, during and after severe storms and flooding.
- Monitor your local news and NOAA Weather Radio, or visit the National Weather Service's Web site at www.nws.noaa.gov for the latest weather information. Battery powered weather radios are available at most stores that sell electronic equipment.
- Sign up for the Community Emergency Alert Network to receive emergency alerts, notifications and updates to your cell phone, pager, PDA and/or e-mail account. Visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/cean.
- Move to higher ground, away from creeks, streams, rivers and storm drains. Flash floods can sweep over an area without warning, and you may only have minutes to get to safety.
- Listen for distant thunder because water from faraway storms may be headed your way. Be aware that flash flooding can occur up to 12 hours after heavy rains.
- Learn the safest route from your home or place of business to a safe area away from the high winds or flooding. Keep your vehicle fueled and have an updated local map in your car.
- Move livestock and animals to higher ground; bring pets inside.
- Store extra drinking water. Fill up clean plastic bottles with clean water if you live in a flood-prone area.
- Move your valuables and furniture to higher floors of your home.
- Check your gutters to make sure they are clear of leaves and debris.
- Check your family emergency kit to be sure it is stocked with essential supplies to last a minimum of three days. Include items like flashlights and batteries, battery-operated radio, weather radio, water, canned food and manual can opener, first aid supplies and medications. Make an emergency kit with supplies for your pet, as well.
- Review your family emergency and communications plan. Decide on a meeting place away from home where you and your family will gather if you need to leave your home and family members become separated.
- Know how to get emergency information for your area. Fairfax County government provides emergency information on its Web site at www.fairfaxcounty.gov, on Government Cable Channel 16 and via the county Emergency Information Line at 703-817-7771, TTY 711.
- Keep your battery-operated radio tuned to a local station, and follow all instructions. If you are told to evacuate, move out of the house or building to safe, high ground before access is cut off by floodwater.
- Never walk or swim through swiftly moving water. Avoid already-flooded areas. Floodwaters that are above your knees are dangerous. Turn around and go back to higher ground.
- Never try to cross standing or moving water in a vehicle. Water that is two feet deep can carry away most cars, including SUVs. If you find floodwaters on the road, turn around and find an alternate route.
- Abandon your vehicle immediately if it becomes surrounded with water or the engine stalls. Seek higher ground immediately.
- When it is safe to return to your home, be sure that the structure is not visibly damaged and in danger of collapsing before entering.
- Do not use electrical appliances that have been wet. Do not turn on damaged electrical appliances because of the hazards of electric shock or fire.
Watch for live electrical wires. Be sure the electrical current is
turned off and do not attempt to turn on any electrically-operated
light or appliance until an electrician has checked your system.

Jessica and Ryan were married at High Point Restaurant in Monteagle, Tenn. on May 17. "Ryan's surprise proposal took place on the very step I stood and married him on," Jessica said. "High Point Restaurant sits on top of a mountain . . . The mansion, built in 1929, presumably financed by Al Capone, was put on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. Escape hatches on the roof and underground tunnels in the basement are what Capone used to transfer liquor in the '20s and '30s. When you see it, you can't help but wonder all the secrets it holds." The bride wore a handmade lace fit 'n' flare wedding gown with a keyhole back, accessorized with a faux fur coat, while the groom wore a dark gray suit, accessorized with a striped tie. "I drew Mrs. Shirley pictures of what I imagined, and she started the dress seven weeks before our wedding day," she said. "It is made from one piece of lace, and we picked flowers out of it and placed them on my chest and back." During the ceremony, passages were read from a Bible the two purchased together. "Instead of asking our 26 guests to sign a traditional guest book, we asked them to underline a verse of encouragement for us or one that was meaningful to them and sign their family name beside it," Jessica said. Reception tables were decorated with sequin runners, tall centerpieces, and candelabras. "We wanted soft, natural colors," she said. "Gold, ivory, and chocolate brown were the main ones, which we felt complimented the overgrown greenery, wood, and rocks surrounding the area." The two-tiered cake featured a chevron pattern, and the newlyweds even had a pair of forks that said, "I do" and "Me too." Bonus: a full candy buffet!

Congress Extends Critical Measures
Hoyer statement after the House passed a two month extension of middle class tax cuts, unemployment insurance, and the Medicare physician payment rate as we continue to work on a longer-term extension: "Today's vote ensures that on January 1st, 160 million Americans will not see their taxes go up, over 2 million Americans will not lose unemployment insurance as they look for work, and 48 million Americans will not lose access to their doctor. Now we must immediately focus on extending these critical policies for a full year. I am hopeful that Republicans will work with us to do so quickly, and not take Americans to the brink once more."

Premarin cream
I have been on it for over 2∅ years. It takes 4 days to start working. I have 3 to 10 flashes per hour without it. Hyster over 20 years ago. I can tell a diference mentaly compared to plain estrogen. OTC dont work. Missing a single dose of 1.25mg will cause light flashing for 8 hours. When taking premarin I dont need antidepressants.
First time in 5 yrs that a PET/ct did not light up showing active breast cancer. I have been on tamoxifin, femara, other estrogen inhibitors, chemo, had one breast removed, full radiation treatment, one year of avastin with methotrixate, etc. All treatments left me with some permanent bad side effects - neuropathy, arterial fibrilation, dry mouth, damage to vocal cords, etc. Then cancer metasticised to paratrachel lymph nodes. Been on high dose (7.5 mm) premarin for one year now. No signs of cancer activity now. Does cause thickening of the uterus. Have had two D&Cs. I am 69 years old. No negative side effects. I feel great.
I take 0.625mg daily for hot flashes and night sweats. Within weeks my symptoms were under control and I was sleeping better throughout the night. I worked with my doctor to find the best treatment for me.
I used premarin 0.3 for hot flashes and within days of stating my hot flashes were gone, moodiness was also gone. This worked great for me.

A FORMER magistrate dishonestly claimed more than £23,000 in benefits.
Ex-Pendle councillor, Rahmat Ali Raja, 75, received pension credits and council tax reductions for 10 years – despite, at one point, having more than £102,000 across nine bank accounts.
The retired charity director was handed a 24-week prison sentence, suspended for 12 months, yesterday.
Speaking after the hearing, Raja, who received an MBE in 2005, said: "I am very sorry. I made a mistake."
- 'Thousands of pounds' worth of damage caused to primary school playground
- 'First of all we lost our baby and now somebody has stolen our baby' - couple devastated after 'sick' thieves steal plant pot memorial containing baby's remains
- Woman given restraining order for using threatening or abusive words or behaviour
- Chipping and health check to protect Pendle pet dogs
Between October 2003 and September 2013, Raja, of Wilkinson Street, Nelson, told the Department for Work and Pensions he was retired and had just £5,601 in savings, wrongly claiming £11,379 in the process.
He also failed to declare his real savings to Pendle Council in November 2004, allowing him to wrongly claim £11,898 between October 2003 and March 2013.
Raja, who has already paid the amounts back in full, pleaded guilty to two counts of dishonestly failing to disclose information to make a gain for self, and one count of dishonestly making a false statement to obtain a benefit.
John Abbott, prosecuting, told Preston Magistrates' Court how Raja would receive the payments into his Halifax bank account via automatic credit transfer.
He said: "Evidence has now become available that he had £83,000 on October 6, 2003 which was not disclosed at the time. Had the true facts been known, there would have been an effect on his benefits."
In 2009, Raja claimed he only had one bank account, which he shared with his wife.
But Mr Abbott said: "He had nine other accounts in his and his wife's names and agrees they were there when he made the original claims for pension credit. He denied acting dishonestly and said he made a mistake."
John Wishart, defending, said: "First of all, the guidelines make it clear that a large sum of money can be accumulated over a long period of time, as in this case.
"Of considerable mitigation is that the money was instantly repaid in full. The final payment was made in September last year."
He added that the 'highest recorded amount' in Raja's savings at any one time was 'a little over £102,000', but that although these accounts were in his name, they were shared by many members of Raja's family.
Sparing Raja jail, chairman of the bench, Kathleen Strickland, said his offences had been 'aggravated by the fact you committed the fraud from the outset.' However she said Raja's age, early guilty plea, full repayment and ill health all prevented her from handing out an immediate custodial sentence.
As well as his suspended jail sentence, which could be activated it he re-offends within 12 months, Raja must pay court costs of £85 and a £75 victim surcharge.
Mrs Strickland said: "If you break this condition it could be very serious for you."
Raja, a former director of Ithaad Community Development Trust, based in Cross Street, Nelson, received an MBE for services to the community in Pendle in 2005.
Speaking after the case, he said: "I am very sorry. I made a mistake. All along I have said it's my family's money and my children's money.
"I filled out the forms but I did them wrong. My memory is not good and I am sorry."

TWO play areas in Wyre Forest will be refurbished in a £113,000 project.
Renovations of Tudor Road park in Bewdley and Manor Farm park in Stourport will be carried out by Oakleaf Commercial Services, part of The Community Housing Group.
The new designs, which are subject to approval by planners and community consultation, include the installation of slides and swings, as well as safety updates.
Keith Burgess, executive business manager of Oakleaf Commercial Services, said: "This is a significant investment in the area and forms part of our commitment to the local community.
"The new parks will help improve health and wellbeing by giving families the chance to get out and about and enjoy the fresh air on their doorstep."
Mr Burgess added that the work, funded by The Community Housing Group, had been timetabled to take place over three weeks in October to avoid disruption during the busy summer months.
The equipment in both parks has been designed for children aged under 11 and at Tudor Road a significant part of the renovation will be spent on improving safety for these youngsters by replacing tree bark cushioning with a modern, rubberised flooring.
Mayor of Bewdley, Derek Killingworth, said: "It is fantastic this upgrade will happen because the Tudor Road play area has needed updating for a long time.
"After the refurbishment children will be able to play in a safe environment rather on the streets.
Mayor of Stourport, Cliff Brewer, added: "The Community Housing Group really contributes a lot to our town and the new investment is very welcome. For residents to have this on their own estate is very beneficial."

Sustainable Youth Skincare.
There was a time when conversations surrounding elasticity, loss of collagen, sagging and lack of tone, were for me like hearing someone speak in a foreign language. Convinced I'd somehow and miraculously been blessed with ever youthful skin, I never paid much attention - until now that is. Whether you're there already or you think this is something that doesn't apply to you, it's never too early or late to start using skincare that addresses these very issues. Now, let it be said I'm a total skeptic (and more than a little jaded) when it comes to product claims, having worked with and tried just about everything. My latest discovery however, more than lives up to its rep and having used it for the last six wks, I can verify that my skin feels noticeably smoother, firmer and more radiant. Sustainable Youth Skincare is comprised of three products in the collection, Revitalizing Serum, Elasticity Cream, and supplement capsules. Each product contains Alasta™, a 100% organic, bioactive ingredient derived from the aloe plant, which in clinical studies has shown to reduce inflammation, and improve skin elasticity and firmness. Lest you think that the product claims are a little grandiose and there's no way a 99% organic & natural product could possibly have the same amazing effects as its chemically engineered counterparts, get this... the clinical studies prove conclusively that you'll see improvement of 61% in only 12 weeks of use when taken orally, and 72% in only 8 weeks of use when used topically.

It's the time of year when most of us are thinking of the gifts we can buy for one another. And it is also the time when we are besieged with hard-luck stories and the need for donations.
Levy County and the Tri-County Area has its share of them. But then there are people who step forward to make this season bright and all of us proud.
When the Guardian ad litem program needed help making Christmas for children in its care, Walgreens in Chiefland stepped up to become a collection point and to accept donations from groups like the Chiefland Rotary. The club presented a check ASAP.
The same club also held a dove/clay shoot and raised several thousand dollars that will be distributed to several groups this month. Buck Mitchell, who hosts the hunt every year, deserves an "Attaboy!" for donating much to this fundraiser every year. Mitchell provides more than just a field for shoot enthusiasts and puts on quite a lunch as well.
Chiefland's Suwannee Valley Rotary heard about the large increase in families needing Thanksgiving baskets from Tri-County Community Outreach and that the non-profit usually does not hand out Christmas baskets. The Rotarians embraced the need and will be gathering the ingredients for Christmas dinner baskets for Community Outreach.
Speaking of food drives, did you see where the new Suncoast Schools Federal Credit Union collected 611 cans at its opening for Community Outreach? They had a bunch of packages of non-perishable foods collected as well.
The students at Chiefland High School collected numerous boxes of non-perishable goods as well in the Student Government Association food drive. One woman, after learning of the school food drive, brought in several bags to donate anonymously.
But topping them all, the 2011 Business of the Year, Capital City Bank, which presented a $2,000 check to the Tri-County Community Outreach. It's obvious that the local bankers care.
Drummond Community Bank, taking a cue from its name, opened its doors, corralled Chiefland's best bakers for donations and recently turned the lobby into a "Sweets Shop" to raise money for Haven Hospice. We may all be fat, but we're happy that Haven benefits.
But the one who warms my heart the most is Karen Driggers, who with her Second Impressions Shop in Chiefland, the help of Skinny Wallet in Chiefland and Second Time's a Charm in Bronson has organized a toy drive for Levy County children left out in the cold this holiday when Toys for Tots folded its tent in our county.
The folks at these three shops are collecting items and donations and Driggers reported this week that with the community's contributions more children will be helped than originally anticipated.
The Chiefland Citizen would like to salute Driggers and the fellow businesswomen and businessmen for taking on all these projects and making better holidays possible in the Chiefland area.
Lou Elliott Jones is editor of the Chiefland Citizen and Cedar Key Beacon. Contact her at email@example.com.

Last week I reviewed the new features in Bing, and my post sparked some heated comments. It's not the first time I've been verbally assaulted for siding with Redmond on a product, but I have big shoulders, so I can handle it. (Anyone remember my pieces on Windows Vista? I didn't realize people in IT knew so many cuss words!)
But this week, one critique caught my attention. Chris Bridge wrote in with some of his complaints about Bing, and they're worth repeating:
Bing is not a better search engine for me. Bing was forced onto my machines without my consent, and it replaced applications I choose to use without my consent. These facts have nothing to do with my dislike of Microsoft as a corporation. Bing on its own is not worthy of respect simply because of the way it was delivered, the way it installed itself, and the difficulty of opting out. Bing is not worthy of respect because it does not perform better.

I always appreciate it when readers take the time to explain why they feel a certain way. I'm often accused of being overly loyal to a brand (Microsoft), but it's easy to see when people are being just as loyal to their own (Apple, Google, VMware, and so forth). I'll admit this may affect my judgment.
However, I explained that in reading Bridge's reasons for not liking the product (Bing in this case, but it could easily have been any other product from Microsoft), I disagreed with him on his position with regard to the solution itself. I believe he is frustrated by how Bing was aggressively delivered without his consent, but instead of letting the disappointment overshadow his assessment, he needs to look more at the tool -- not the marketing or delivery method behind it. His reply: "I don't think you can separate the application from its delivery vector."
I imagine this is true for many people, and I believe Microsoft should really consider this point when pushing its products. Microsoft has been accused (rightly so) of bullying its way into people's lives when a gentler approach might endear folks. Ultimately, it's about the bottom line; perhaps the aggressive approach is considered more profitable, which explains why it's continued after so many years of complaints.

November 6, 2012
Santa Clarita, Calif. - If you stopped by Bross Gym at the end of Tuesday night's GSAC Volleyball showdown featuring The Master's College (25-5, 9-4 GSAC) and Concordia University (29-0, 12-0 GSAC), you wouldn't have had the slightest clue that the Lady Mustangs had just fallen short of upsetting the Eagles, the nations' #1 volleyball program, by three points. What you would have seen, however, would be remnants of the 400+ Mustang fans celebrating and applauding the #7 ranked Lady Mustangs for their efforts in what was arguably the most thrilling match TMC competed in this season.
Concordia, sporting their traditional forest green uniforms, opened up the first set with haste, leading the way with a score of 4-1. However, the Mustangs regained their composure and fought back to a 4-4 tie. From there, the two squads traded eight leads bringing the match to 21-21. The Eagles then capitalized on a mix of attack errors by the Mustangs and well-placed kills to conclude the set at 25-22.
Dropping the first set didn't faze TMC in the slightest as the Mustangs controlled game two for the entirety. The Lady Mustangs led the Eagles, by six points, five separate times. The blue & gold clad Mustangs then put the set on ice at 25-18 with a decisive kill by senior outside hitter Rachel Taylor (Sun Valley, CA). In her final regular-season home game as a Mustang, Taylor claimed 11 kills, the second highest for the Mustangs for the evening.
Set three carried a different tune as the Mustangs only managed to tie the Eagles early at 4-4. From there, Concordia took ran off with the set and never looked back, ultimately finishing game three at 25-14.
But TMC wasn't giving up.
Fueled by the outstanding support from the Master's College student body, the Mustangs started the fourth set with a four-point rally. But the Eagles soared back into action and eventually tied the match at 9-9. The Mustangs went on a five point run extending their lead to 15-10. But Concordia slowly inched their way back into the match and tied the Mustangs at 20-20.
The waning minutes of the fourth set proved to be something of the likes of a boxing match as both sides exchanged blows. At five different points, both sides were forced to break ties, However, a kill by Rachel Taylor and an attack error by Concordia's Maddy Ekis finished the set at 29-27, in favor of the Mustangs, sending both teams into a fifth and final set.
In the thrilling fifth game, the Mustangs fell to the Eagles 12-15. The Eagles carried the lead throughout the set while the Mustangs rallied in spurts. However, Concordia proved their #1 ranking and maintained their lead until the final whistle. After an attack error by TMC's Rachel Taylor sealed the match for the Eagles, not one Mustang hung their head with disappointment. On the contrary, all supporters gave the Mustangs a standing ovation for the effort the squad displayed over the five game dog-fight.
Knowing that they can hang in with the best, the Lady Mustangs look to finish off their regular season schedule with a win against conference rival San Diego Christian (5-18, 3-10 GSAC). The Mustangs cannot look past the Hawks as Saturday's 7:00 PM road match carries major playoff implications on when or where the Mustangs' first round playoff match will be played.

Search through millions of records to find out more.
1901 — Belorussia
Because both of her parents had died by the time Vita was 5 years old, she went to live with her cousins. At the age of 18, Vita married Iosif Rivkin, and the couple moved to Minsk where they raised three daughters--Hacia, Dora and Berta.
1933-39: By the early 1930s, the Rivkin family lived on Novomesnitskaya Street in central Minsk, near the Svisloch River. In the 1930s the girls attended Soviet state schools and were members of the Soviet youth organization, Young Pioneers. By the late 1930s Minsk was filled with Polish refugees fleeing the German invasion of Poland.
1940-43: On June 27, 1941, the German army reached Minsk. By August, Vita's family was forced to move to 46 Obuvnaya Street in Minsk's ghetto. There, starving people made holes in the wire fence confining the ghetto to secretly search for food on the "Aryan" side. Those caught were shot. To feed her family, Vita sold whatever the family still possessed to buy food. Once she was caught trying to hawk her husband's coat. The policeman seized the coat and put it on. Then he gave her his own coat and beat her savagely.
Vita's youngest daughter, Berta, escaped from the ghetto before it was liquidated. Vita and the rest of her family were deported and never heard from again.

Linephon alphabet was devised by Erik Moreno, a colombian teenager. He devised it for create an "alphabeta franca" between all world's languages. The linephon name comes from the words line and phoneme. Line because the letters are made with lines, and phoneme because the letters are made in groups that correspond to the articulation point of phonemes. For example, the phoneme group with a dental articulation point is made up of t, d, θ, ð, s and z.
Note: the two last letters modify the sound of other letters, like h after c, s or t in English. These letters go before the modified letter.
The last punctuation sign is used for numbers and is equal to the period in the European system.

Family & Home
Minter City, MS
Jessie Ephelia Pritchard (or Pritchard) married Newton F. Cole and lived in Minter City, Leflore County, Miss. Her husband died in 1949, so she lived alone with her oldest son, John David (aka "JD") Cole, who was mentally disabled.
Jessie and Newton Cole had 7 children who grew up to be adults. One twin child died at age 22 months. Family history says that she had two still births and one (maybe one of these 2) who died at 9 months of pneumonia. It is said that one infant was buried at Itta Bena, MS, but the marker has been lost. This is the reason that they chose to be buried at this same cemetery.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 16/1/2013 (1678 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A city committee has shot down hobby beekeeping in Winnipeg.
Beekeeping is restricted under the exotic-animal bylaw, which does not allow residents to keep animals such as venomous snakes, monkeys, sheep, horses or other species that could be a nuisance in the city. Apiaries are not allowed in commercial or residential neighbourhoods, and bees can only be housed in urban areas zoned for agriculture, such as the University of Manitoba agricultural research field.
A new city report, released last week, recommends Winnipeg not expand hobby beekeeping. The report cited several concerns about urban beekeeping, saying the bees may pose a threat to those with allergies, a beehive may diminish neighbouring property values, and hobby beekeepers will likely register for mosquito fogging buffer zones, which could be another concern for surrounding homeowners.
On Monday, beekeepers told council's protection and community services committee Winnipeg should conduct consultations on the matter and be able to move ahead with urban beekeeping.

The location was much better than what was shown on the map. the map made it look as though the hotel was about 2 blocks from the beach. In fact, Thien Tan is part of the Thien Tan Star Resort, & they are on the beach, although it is about a 50 metre was through very open trees. The rooms are big although a bit old but that in no way detracted from them. Very good value for the money & I would highly recommend it for people on a budget. I would gladly stay there again. The food was a bit uninspired, and expensive for what I got, and not many of the staff spoke English.
