HAPPY HOLIDAYS from Disney World!! The season is rolling right along with festive treats and special events. And, as always, there's plenty of other food news to go around: menu changes, new eats (did somebody say "Barbecued Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese?!"), completed refurbishments, ongoing Downtown Disney construction, and more. So join us on another trip around the World to see What's New…
Holidays Around the World is in full swing at Epcot! This annual festival shares holiday traditions from around the globe through story, music, and — our favorite! — FOOD!
Remember, this is the only time of year to grab such treats as Happy Face Fried Cakes at the Joy of Tea in China, Gingerbread Ice Cream at L'artisan des Glaces in France, and Panettone sweet bread at Italy's Gelato Stand.
But there's plenty of non-holiday food news as well… Starting in Morocco, Spice Road Table has not only started taking Advance Dining Reservations — they're also now accepting the Disney Dining Plan.
To offer guests the ability to maximize their one Table Service plan credit, this tapas-based restaurant is now also serving full-sized entrees, including Coriander Crusted Rack of Lamb, Roasted Chicken, and a Mediterranean Vegetable Platter, among others.
Staying in Morocco, Tangierine Cafe debuted new entrees as well: a Meatball Platter and Saffron Rotisserie Chicken.
At the United Kingdom's Rose & Crown Pub and Dining Room, the [Read more…]

Looking for something to quench your thirst – with a little kick – during your Star Wars Weekends adventure at Hollywood Studios?
If so, then there's something you have to do first: you must Choose Your Side.
Two specialty beverages are available during Star Wars Weekends: The Dark Side and The Force. You can find them at temporary mini bars throughout Hollywood Studios, such as this one near Mama Melrose's…
… or this one near Sci-Fi Dine-In.
We'll be looking at the two signature drinks served at each of these bars, but they also carry a small assortment of other beverages available for purchase.
The Dark Side, as you can see on the sign, is a mix of Coconut Rum, Cointreau, and Pomegranate Lemonade. As nice as that sounds, let's face it — it's all about the souvenir that comes with it: a Death Star glow cube!
Like the regular glow ice cubes at Disney, the glow Death Star has an on-off switch to preserve it for future use, and can be set to stay at one color or set to rotate through several changing colors.
Yeah, it's pretty awesome.
I especially enjoy Disney glow drinks when you can place the glow cube under the ice so the entire thing is all lit up. Here is my attempt to stuff the Death Star underneath the ice with my straw.
It popped back up less than a second later. I tried to submerge the Death Star several times. But the Death Star would not be submerged. True story.
Awesome Death Star notwithstanding, you still want to be sure you'll enjoy the drink, so here's what's good to know: I was able to pick up on each flavor in the drink, from the Coconut Rum to the Cointreau and the lemonade. It was nice that no flavor overpowered the other, and I thought mine was mixed well. For a drink representing the Dark Side, it was actually quite beachy, thanks to the rum. And who doesn't love a good beach drink served up with a splash of Imperial darkness?
Your other choice is, naturally, The Force. This beverage consists of Grey Goose Vodka, Chambord, and Wildberry Lemonade. The souvenir piece is a glowing Light Saber.
While the Light Saber doesn't change colors, it is [Read more…]

Hear Ye, Hear Ye! Announcing the arrival of young royal Sofia the First to Hollywood and Vine at Hollywood Studios… and joining Her Highness is fellow Disney Junior star, Doc McStuffins!
That's right! Sofia the First and Doc McStuffins have joined their pals Jake from "Jake and the Neverland Pirates" and (AJ's favorite ) Handy Manny for the Disney Junior Play 'n Dine character meal.
Not only do the characters mix and mingle, but Play n' Dine also features "musical moments" where all the kids are invited to sing and dance along (while Mom and Dad can keep on eating)!

So, there's this trend that keeps popping up over at Disney's Hollywood Studios, and we couldn't be happier about it: seasonal cupcakes can be found pretty much all-year 'round!
The Fall brought us the Pumpkin Cupcake with Maple Icing, and the holiday season brought us the return of the Gingerbread Cupcake. And they're starting this year off with a bang… introducing the Blueberry Cupcake with Lemon Cream Cheese Icing!
First things first: before you can dig in, you've gotta know where to find it. Fortunately (as with most Hollywood Studios specialty cupcakes), you can find them in several Counter Service locations all around the park, including: Toy Story Pizza Planet, Fairfax Fare, ABC Commissary, Backlot Express, and the Studios resident cupcake haven, Starring Rolls Cafe.
Just look for this sign:
The exception to this rule, however, is Starring Rolls. In this case, just look for the cupcakes .
The best thing about seeing it in person, is that — much like the Gourmet Cake Cups found at Magic Kingdom's Cheshire Café — I feel that the "live" appearance of the cupcake exceeds the picture on the sign.
In fact, I looked at it from several angles, just to enjoy all the colors .
Let's take it from the top… because, in this case, the top [Read more…]

Perhaps sensing the unfairness of that disparity, Carnival has just extended its new surcharge policy to its U.K. brands -- P&O Cruises and Ocean Village. So as of 31 October 2008, fuel supplements will be eliminated for all new bookings on 2010 departures, though base cruise fares will increase. Moreover, fuel surcharges might be refunded to passengers booked on 2008/09 departures, based on the price of oil (read our original item for the very complicated details). If your cruise is eligible, the fuel supplement will be refunded in the form of onboard credit.
We'll keep you posted if other lines decide to follow suit and institute similar fuel surcharge elimination or reimbursement policies.

Dealer Service Reviews
Eight Trips and it's still not fixedWritten by 1annoyedgirl on 06/28/12 08:50:06 AM PDT Go back to Service reviews
Recommend this dealer? No
I purchased a 2010 Dodge Avenger from this dealership in December 2011. I love this vehicle however, we are having some issues. When starting the car it sputters, clanks, and sputs for about 30 seconds, and then it seems fine. The problem is getting increasingly worse, and is now chugging as if the car will stall, and then it's fine. I have had my vechicle into this service department a total of eight times, and leave with the same response, everything is fine. The staff in this department do not listen to the information given, and quite honestly, are much more attentive to my husband than myself. I have given my car to these people overnight a total of eight times, and have had no luck. Warranty coverage or not, I would not recommend this dealership for anyone for any reason. I love my Dodge and hope I will be able to get better service elsewhere so I can continue to enjoy this vehicle.

On Friday, in the first week of my second semester of planning graduate school, we did the hokey-pokey. We put our right foot in, put our right foot out, put our right foot in, and then we shook it all about. We turned ourselves around. That was what it was all about.
The demonstration was all about pointing out common ground and how people were rooted in order to approach problem solving and conflict resolution. It sounds a little squishy, I know. But it got the point across, and more important, it introduced the dance to one international student who had never heard of the hokey-pokey.
In thousands of planning and zoning laws across the nation, official announcements are required to be published in the local newspaper of "general circulation." In an era of newspaper decline and expanding diversity of media, are these laws becoming obsolete? Furthermore, should we be concerned with newspapers at all if a newer, more universally accessible medium is available: the Internet?
A variety of announcements are legally required to be published in a local periodical of "general circulation," sometimes in addition to being published in an official government gazette. The practice entered the planning world through the U.S. Department of Commerce's highly influential standard zoning and planning enabling acts.

Build your vocabulary with Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day! Each day a Merriam-Webster editor offers insight into a fascinating new word -- explaining its meaning, current use, and little-known details about its origin.
December 13th, 2014
Episode 44 of 923 episodes
Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 13, 2014 is: tractable \TRAK-tuh-bul\ adjective 1 : capable of being easily led, taught, or controlled 2 : easily handled, managed, or wrought Examples: The couple had hoped to find a tractable and obedient dog that wouldn't cause too much trouble, but instead they got Rufus and their life has never been the same. "But values have been steadily rising simply because it's such a good driver's car. It's incredibly tractable and usablemore so than any other car I can think of from that period, in fact." Dylan Miles, quoted in Classic Driver, November 14, 2014 Did you know? Obedient, docile, and amenable are synonyms of tractable, but those four words have slightly different shades of meaning. Tractable describes an individual whose character permits easy handling, while docile implies a predisposition to submit readily to authority. Obedient is often used to describe compliance with authority, although that compliance is not necessarily offered eagerly. Amenable, on the other hand, is usually used when one cooperates out of a desire to be agreeable. Tractable dates from the early 16th century and derives from the Latin verb tractare ("to handle" or "to treat"). Despite the resemblance, this root did not give us the noun tractor or verbs such as contract or attractthose all derive from a loosely related Latin verb trahere ("to draw or drag").

Her hair was matted as it always was. Her two begging, green eyes looked among the people walking by. Her mother and father stood by a barely burning fire as she looked at the people in the street. A small, empty jam jar was in her hand. "A little money, That's all. A penny would satisfy me, just something!" she begged. Her heavy coat was covered in holes. She wore only socks on her feet, one of them with a large hole on the bottom.
"Just a little change, that's all I'm asking for." A sympathetic woman handed her a dollar. She greedily grabbed it and stuffed it in the jar.
Her name was Delilah. Her family lived among others like them, the homeless. Jar clutched in hand, she showed the dollar to her mother. "Great job, Delilah!" Her father was beaming at her. Delilah held the dollar with pride and sat next to her mother, trying to get warm despite the nippy wind and snowfall. She only had a large coat given to her by another man traveling with them, along with tattered boxers given to her by a boy.
"Mom, I'm cold." she shivered. Her mother pulled her on to her lap. Delilah was only eleven years old, and this entire situation was incredibly hard on her. Her mother and her shared the same black ebony hair and green eyes, while she had her father's thin lips and small button nose. They all lay there, looking up at the dusk sky.
"Mom, are we eating tonight?" asked Delilah. "I don't think so." sighed her mom. Delilah looked down at her bony stomach and nodded. "Okay, Mom." She was used to the hunger by now. It'd been like this since she was little, it didn't bug her. She had been hungry since the day she was born. She began to close her eyes as her mother stroked her messy hair. She fell asleep to the sounds of the people talking and men and women on the streets shuffling back and forth, busy.
The next morning, when she opened her eyes, she peeled away from her mother's arms and picked up the jar. It was time to get back to what she was use to. With her dirty face and skinny knees displayed beneath the thick jacket, she ran around begging. All she wanted to do was get enough money to feed her family. The most money she'd earned in a day was thirty dollars. Hopefully she could beat that record some day. With pitiful eyes, she looked around at the passer-byes. "Got anything on you?" she asked an obese man swallowing a hot dog. "Yeah." He reached into his pocket and gave her a gum wrapper. Laughing, he walked away. She hated when people did that. Throwing the wrapper on to the floor, she angrily went back to asking around.
By that afternoon, she had ten dollars. Tonight, they were eating. She could buy them each a fruit. Maybe she would get her favorite, a tangerine, for a job well done. Asking around, the money began to pile up. Dollar after dollar, cent after cent went into the jar. By the end of the day, she had a staggering fifty dollars. She never would have got that much if she hadn't have walked across town. Her jar was nearly overflowing.
She merrily began walking back to her mother and father when a man stopped her. "That's a lot of money on you, kid. Shouldn't be showing it off to everyone." The guy gave her the creeps. He had piercing blue eyes and a nose piercing. "Okay." she said in her usual innocent voice. Clutching the jar, she began walking back. However, she noticed the man was behind her. A chill when up her spine and she began to run faster. "Please! Go away!" she begged. He responded by laughing and lunging down, grabbing her foot and watching her collapse. He ripped the jar out of her hands and ran until she couldn't see him again. She tried getting back to him, she really did. Her feet just slowly gave in to the exhaustion and cold. Delilah couldn't run anymore.
She fought the tears threatening to spill down the sides of her face. Every part of her wanted to just sit there and cry but she couldn't. She needed to go see her mother. Walking back to her little camp, she looked up at her parents. "What's wrong?" asked her father. "Delilah, you don't look too good. Are you okay?" Delilah shook her head, the tears finally slipping over the sides of her cheeks. "Some guy took the jar. It had fifty dollars in it. Fifty dollars!" Her parents glanced at each other. "That's awful!" cried her mother. "That bastard!" snapped her father.
The worst part, the one Delilah was trying to not mention, was that he appeared to be financially safe. He wore a nice jacket, she was well shaven, he smelled like soap. There was no way he needed that money as badly as they did. This slowly began to enrage Delilah. It wasn't fair! He didn't need the money like they did!
Delilah searched the streets from this point on. As she begged, she looked for this man. If she ever saw him again, she'd give him a piece of her mind! He needed to answer for what he did and why he did it. What was the reason for stealing from a small, homeless child?
One day, she found him. He stood staring at her from across the street. Same clothes, same eyes, same piercing. When he glanced at her, he grinned, holding up and empty jar. Furiously, Delilah charged across the street. "Give me that jar back! Now!" she charged. He laughed teasingly, tossing the jar in the air and catching it.
Suddenly, the screeching of tires hit the air. Delilah didn't see it coming. The man's face went from teasing, gloating, and mocking to sheer horror as the tiny Delilah was swept away by the truck. The car smashed into a wall, with Delilah sandwiched between the two. Delilah's mother was screaming and crying, her father speechless. The other homeless stared in disbelief.
Despite the frantic begging from her mother to save her, Delilah was obviously far beyond saving. She literally had to be scrapped off the wall. A large bloody stain was smeared across the wall. Her coat was shredded, her socks smashed and covered in tire marks,
They couldn't afford a funeral, it just wasn't going to happen. The best they could do was choose a place to bury her and leave some flowers. Everyone comforted the grieving parents. They all said the same thing. It was an awful accident. What a tragedy, she was so young. The same thing over and over again. '
Delilah was burried in a nice park. Nothing could be done now except accept was had happened and let it go. After a lot of grieving, both parents came to terms with the fact that they would never see their daughter's bright smiling face again. Never again would she come back, filled with pride, holding that jar.
The man began to feel guilty. This was all his fault. She would be alive right now if it weren't for him being stupid and taunting her with the jar. He didn't even need the money! He wouldn't forget the look on the woman's face as she begged random people on the street to save her daughter from the heaping wreck.
One night, in his apartment, he couldn't sleep. It had been two months since the incident and he was beginning to forgive himself for what he did. I mean, he didn't drive the car into her, right? He didn't tell her to charge across the street without thinking or looking to make sure she wouldn't be crushed. If it was anyone's fault, it was definitely the little girls. With a smile, he began to fall asleep.
What he didn't know was that some demonic forces were at work. The little girl died with a burning hatred. This burning hatred didn't just boil over after her death. The more he began to blame her and forgive himself, the angrier she got. How dare he blame her?! She provoked him and upset him to the point of running! If he hadn't been such a greedy bastard in the first place, she wouldn't be six feet under. A demon of unknown origin loved this however. He fed off her anger and her desire for revenge, her will to harm. He knew a way he could make use of this.
That night, she emerged from the ground. While she expected to look like a hunk of rotting tire covered flesh, when she looked into the fountain, she saw that she looked human again. Her skin was pale still, and her nose was still small. However, that's where the similarities between the new her and the old her ended. Her eyes were now wide, black, emotionless voids. Her mouth was a gaping hole,empty and dark. When she talked, her mouth didn't move. Her hair was brushed smooth and long, the mats gone. Her coat was gone, replaced by a nice dress she'd seen once on a girl passing by. It stopped at her ankles and was pitch black. Her feet were still bare, but she didn't feel the cold anymore against her toes. She felt no pain.
Even though no one was near her, she heard a male's voice in her head. "Hi." She looked around. "Who said that?" she demanded out loud. "You can't see me Delilah. Others cannot here me. Only you can." The voice was a very soothing, masculine voice. It was calming. "I'm going to help you. And we're going to be best friends, you and I." Delilah nodded. "Just do exactly what I say." Delilah nodded. Then, the voice was gone.
On the grave was a gold chain. She picked it up, expecting it to be heavy, but finding it to actually be quite lightweight. The chain was not a whip, as she tried doing a whipping motion. Holding the chain in hand, she carried it around. Delilah didn't know how this was happening. It didn't make sense. However, she felt she knew things. She was drawn to an apartment building in specifics. Walking in, she knew to hit third floor and went five doors to the left. The door was left open.
"How did I know to come here?" asked Delilah.
"Simple. I guided you. Go on in."
Delilah stepped in and looked around. That's when she found him lying on the bed. The greedy one who had stolen the money and gotten her killed. Rage began to consume Delilah again.
"What do I do!?" she asked the voice. "Kill him!" demanded the voice, now much less soothing.
"Kill the bastard! Remember what he did to you?!" Instinct took over, and Delilah used the gold chain. She wrapped the gold around his neck, squeezing and pulling tighter and tighter. When she heard a snapping noise, she let go. She'd just killed a man. Worse yet, she enjoyed it. She loved every second of making him suffer.
"How did that feel?" asked the voice.
"Great!" Delilah yelled out loud. She began to laugh.
"I'm glad you think so." They both laughed together until Delilah stopped. "What do I call you?" she asked. Demons don't really have names, so the voice had to make up something quick.
"Call me Black, Delilah."
"Delilah, from now on, you and I, we, are one. You will refer to us as we. There is no more I, or you. We are together as Black Delilah."

- I won't resign, Dep Speaker, Lasun insists
The lingering crisis in the House of Representatives is likely to come to an end following the offer made to Hon. Alhassan Ado-Doguwa representing Doguwa/Tudun Wada federal constituency, Kano, to become the House Leader by the Speaker of the House, Hon. Yakubu Dogara.
The Speaker had on July 16 replied Chief John Odigie-Oyegun's letter that listed the persons the party wanted elected as principal officers rejected the zonal arrangement stating that it did not reflect the Federal Character Principles. Instead, Dogara had proposed to zone the House leader to the North-West.
He later picked Ado-Doguwa (APC, Kano) to become the House Leader even as South West caucus of the APC had intensified efforts to persuade the Deputy Speaker, Yusuf Suleiman Lasun, to step down for 'a more vocal and visible' member of the House from the South West to assume the position.
However, aide to the Deputy Speaker has dismissed claims that he was being pressured to step down stating that he was democratically elected by his colleagues for the position.
Reacting to the offer, Ado-Doguwa, a key member of the Femi Gbajabiamila group, said that he considered the offer as a possible solution to the raging leadership tussle in the legislature.
"I consider this offer good if it is genuine; the Speaker (Yakubu Dogara) has given the assurances that he is ready for peace to prevail in the House. This offer, to my mind, is a good gesture and we can work with it – given the assurances by the Speaker," he stated.
In a press briefing yesterday, Hon. Pally Iriase (APC, Edo) assured Nigerians that the crisis in the National Assembly was over following the proposal made by the Speaker to the loyalists group.
Iriase, who noted that the offer was coming on the back of the letter written to APC National chairman on July 16 based on Section 14 (3) of the constitution, stated that the Speaker's offer was in line with the federal character.
The lawmaker urged those not conversant with the provisions of the constitution to look at Section 13 dealt how bodies of government must be composed in order to ensure inclusiveness and equity.
Iriase lauded the Speaker for ceding the major positions to the loyalists group, adding that they want to have an enduring institution. He called on other members to accept the offer as so as not to hold the country to ransom. consolidation group, Hon Jibrin Abdulmumin (APC, Kano) said the disagreement in the House was finally over. He said henceforth, the President would enjoy unprecedented support from the APC lawmaker in the House.
"In the interest of peace, unity and harmony in the House, Speaker Dogara reached out extensively to individuals and groups and committed lot of energy and time toward finding an amicable solution to the nagging issue.
"This became extremely necessary in order to actualise the needed peace and unity in the House so as to commence work for the Nigerian People and provide support for our President, Muhammadu Buhari. let me reiterate our resolve that President Buhari is going to enjoy the maximum and unprecedented support of the APC caucus in the House in order for him to achieve all the laudable programmes of this government. Permit me to point out, however, that the intense consultations carried out by Speaker Dogara is what eventually led to the birth of the Dogara Formula that saw the emergence of what is now known as the Equity Team.
"In line with the Formula, the Equity Team has Hon. Alhassan Ado Doguwa (APC Kano, North West) as House Leader, Hon Buba Jibrin (APC Kogi, North Central) as Deputy Leader, Hon Pally Iriase(APC Edo, South South) as Chief Whip and Hon. Chika Okafor(APC Imo, South East) as Deputy Chief Whip. "Interestingly, both the Speaker and a great majority of the APC caucus in the House including gladiators in the Gbajabiamila's group like Hon Mongunu, Hon Doguwa and Hon Pally support and stand by the Equity Team.

Another Valentine I could not resist was this free offering from Stacie Bloomfield of Gingiber. I love, love, love her animal prints and pillow renderings...especially their stitchy texture fur. As a fan, I feel lucky that these artists are so generous with their work.
A great way to find cards like these (as well as paper dolls, fold toys, gift tags and more) is to search Instagram, Pinterest, etc. with the word "printable." And it should go without saying but please obey their rules, these are both clearly marked for personal use only.
But I didn't have any envelopes the right size so I made one up...and then I thought, maybe somebody else would like to do this too. So I'm going to call this a tutorial although really it's just a quick tip.
To make a simple envelope:
Take a full-sized sheet of paper fold in the sides to the with of your card. Then fold up the bottom third and fold down the top (making sure there is room for your card inside.) I used my hera marker and ruler to score the paper first so that my folds would lie nice and flat.
For finishing, you could use a sticker but to get real fancy you can make a string tie closure.
On one of the buttons, either leave a long tail of the thread you used to sew them on with or tie on a short piece of pretty string.
To close, just make a figure 8 (for infinite love!) over the two buttons and you're all done!
That's it. You're done! Let me know if you find this idea useful and of course,
have a Happy Valentine's Day!

A DMK Production
You operate a small dairy farm and it is your family's primary source of income. All of the family including your three sons are needed and expected to pitch in and help with the daily chores associated with operating a farm. You do not overburden your children with chores but they are expected to help out and they still have plenty of time for free time and personal activities.
Your middle son, Bobby Wayne, is fourteen. Bobby Wayne is expected to keep the stalls clean and make sure the cows have water on a daily basis. Bobby Wayne has been slacking in this area. For two days, Bobby Wayne has left the stalls dirty and the cows did not have fresh water. Bobby Wayne has been running off to meet up with friends and play rather than do his chores.
Last night you talked with Bobby Wayne and warned him that you were tired of doing his chores for him and that he was needed to do his part. Bobby Wayne apologized and promised to do better. Today, you go to the barn and the stalls are not properly cleaned and only half of the cows have fresh water. Bobby Wayne is long gone to catch up with his friends.
Bobby Wayne - 14

"I love this more in person! I ordered these for a 50th anniversary party and they are lovely. I was concerned that the color would be yellow but it wasn't. It was more of a gold color, perfect for what I was purchasing for. I did cut edges and it turned out beautiful. The proof readers were awesome too. What a great feature to have. Turnaround time was fantastic too. I can't say enough!"
"I chose the vivid orange to match my wedding colors, and It is perfect. I enlarged the font size and used different font styles that were a little crisper and modern then what is in the sample. The card stock is thick and of good quality. The designers at WPD helped to fit my dinner selection and make it look perfect!"
"Very elegant menu card, the quality of paper is excellent, I would order again if I need to and I will recommend to friends"

Discover More about the Advantages of Loans Online in same day
Knowing how the economies of different countries are struggling nowadays, more and more people are in need of assistance when it comes to their finances. Those who are need of immediate cash can find assistance right away through payday loans online. This option has been very popular nowadays because of its convenience. Aside from this, there are other advantages borrowers can get from acquiring this type of loan.
The first thing that you may want to look into is being able to acquire cash advance without having to go personally to the lending institution and talk to various representatives who will be asking you various questions regarding the loan that you are applying for. You may find it somehow awkward on your part to talk to other people about your financial burdens and open up to somebody whom you don't even know.
The good news is that with payday loan online, you don't have to do this anymore. All you have to do is to go to get access to the internet, go to the lending website and fill-up all the needed information online. Most lending companies will require having forms as well as documents sent through the net. Once the application is validated and approved then your funds will be ready for electronic transfer on your account.
Documentation to get approved
Next, you don't have to spend extra cash just to get your application processed. As compared to other loans you can find out there, this type of instant payday loan will not require you to spend more money for gas or transportation. You don't need to cash out a check or even go to the bank to get your cash advance. Everything happens online wherein the transactions are made electronically.
Lastly, you don't have to be concerned with submitting tons of requirements to get your loan approved. Most of the loans you may encounter have relatively high proceeds which mean that you will be required to submit quite a lot of documents just to get verified. However with online payday loans you don't really need to acquire as much documentation to get approved. Just make sure that all information and requirements online are filled up and submitted properly then you are good to go.
Payday loans that you can acquire online is definitely something that you should take advantage of if you need cash advanced processed as soon as possible. Acquire loan in a more comfortable and convenient way without having to worry about other expenses. This type of loan could be the answer to your never-ending financial constraints.

Week 4 AFL Picks, sponsored by Client #9 Aftershave.
Well, another week of AFL games has come. And gone. March Madness has entered the room like a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model. Okay, that doesn't excuse the AFL. The league had another good week, with Georgia winning their first game of the season. So this week is going to be called "AFL Madness." While it doesn't have the charm and charisma of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, it gives you something to watch when the hoops aren't on.
Let's not delay any longer. 6-2 last week (again!), which makes me 18-6 for the season. Not bad. Could be better but not bad.
Week 4
Philadelphia Soul over Los Angeles Avengers
New Orleans VooDoo over Cleveland Gladiators (the Gladiators will be too busy eating beginets)
Columbus Destroyers over Utah Blaze
Arizona Rattlers over New York Dragons
Georgia Force over Orlando Predators (May the Force be with them!)
Colorado Crush over Chicago Rush (Maybe Elway will suit up?)
Dallas Desperados over San Jose SaberCats (MEOW!)
Grand Rapids Rampage over Kansas City Brigade
Last Week: 6-2
Season: 18-6

Greatest American Olympians Of All Time
During the Olympics Games, the medals table has everyone's attention. Some countries are favorites for certain sports, but the United States is definitely the favorite to win the highest number of gold medals. Check out in this article who are the Greatest American Olympians of All Time.
1 – Michael Phelps
The young swimmer born in Baltimore is considered one of the greatest American Olympians of all time. In his fifth Olympics, in Rio de Janeiro, Michael Phelps ended his career leaving a legacy of achievements and example for younger athletes.
Despite the fame of late nights and drinks, the performance of Michael Phelps as an athlete remains impeccable. Billed as "the man who does not fail," it is expected that he give up of his retirement and return to compete in the next Olympic Games in Tokyo (2020). Make your bets!
Sport: Swimming
Olympic medals: 28 medals overall (23 gold medals, 3 silver medals and 2 bronze medals)
2 – Carl Lewis
Born in 1961 in Alabama, Carl Lewis had an ambitious goal when he was 23 years-old: to repeat the achievement of Jesse Owens at the Berlin Olympics (1936). Like the legendary Owens, Lewis tried to win four gold medals: 100 meters, 200 meters, 4x100m relay and long jump. And guess what: he won all.
Sport: Athletics
Olympic medals: 10 medals overall (9 gold medals and 1 silver medal)
3 – Simone Biles
At just 19, Simone Biles already established herself as one of the greatest american Olympians of all time. Through her participation in the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Simone Biles rose to five podiums, entering the top five of biggest medalists in the history of gymnastics in the same edition, surpassing the Romanian Nadia Comaneci.
Sport: Artistic Gymnastics
Olympic medals: 5 medals overall (4 gold medals and 1 bronze medal)
4 – Jesse Owens
The first major defeat of Adolf Hitler took place three years before the beginning of World War II. A man, alone, was the hero of this confrontation: Jesse Owens, a black American from Alabama. If he is not the greatest american Olympians of all time, nobody is or will be.
The seventh son of a family of cotton pickers and grandson of slaves, Jesse Owens (1913-1980) hit four Olympic records throughout his career, but never overcame the stigma and racial discrimination in his own country.
Once he blurted: "When I returned from Berlin, I still couldn't enter through the front door
of the bus and still couldn't live where I wanted. Also, I couldn't make a nationwide advertising because it wouldn't be accept in the South. Hitler did not greet me, but I was not invited to the White House to receive the greetings of the President of my country."
Sport: Track and field
Olympic medals: 4 medals overall, all gold medals.
5 – Wilma Rudolph
Born prematurely in Saint Bethlehem (Tennessee), Wilma Rudolph is certainly one of greatest american Olympians of all time. When she was just a child, she was diagnosed with polio but her mother refused to accept the doctor's sentence, saying that Rudolph would never walk again.
To find a hospital willing to treat a black child at the time of racial segregation was a challenge. The Meharry Hospital for blacks, of Fisk University in Nashville, was her only hope, but it was 80 kilometers of Clarksville, the city where she used to lived.
Rudolph's mother took her twice a week by bus to the water and heat therapy, until she was able to walk with the help of an orthopedic device of metal in his left leg.
To speed up her recovery, Wilma started to play sports. And years later she achieved her great moment: with only 20 years, just eight years after winning Poliomyelitis, Wilma won three gold medals, becoming the first American woman to do that.
Sport: Track and Field
Olympic medals: 4 medals overall (3 gold medals and 1 bronze medal)
6 – Bob Mathias
At the London Olympics 1948, Bob Mathias became the youngest Olympic champion in history. The athlete was Olympic champion again in Helsinki (1952). At the end of his sporting career, Mathias dedicated himself to politics, but then returned to athletics circles and was the first director of the Center of Olympic training of Colorado Springs.
Sport: Athletics/Decathlon
Olympic medals: 2 medals overall, both gold medals.
This was our list of the greatest American Olympians of all time. Their heartbeats may have faded away as they slowly drift away from the spotlight but one thing that is for sure is that they made indelible marks and left their footprints on the sand, which is why we will always remember them.

GALAXIES (a.k.a. Danny and the Galaxies)
Formed in Ironwood, a mining town located in in the northwest corner of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, the Galaxies were the first rock and roll band to emerge from the region's iron-rich Gogebic Range. The group's debut single was one of the earliest productions by a Top 40 recording artist who would go on to greater fame as a Grammy-winning record producer in Los Angeles and Nashville. Although the Galaxies would become the first U.P. band to release a single on a national record label, the group splintered before reaching their vast potential.
2017 MRRL Hall of Fame Voting Results
The online voting for the 2017 Michigan Rock and Roll Legends Internet Hall of Fame and Legendary Michigan Songs concluded at midnight on June 1st.
The MRRL Hall of Fame Class of 2017 includes three Historical Inductees that were announced earlier in the year. Motown's Edwin Starr charted 14 songs on the Billboard Hot 100, including the # 1 hit "War" in 1970. The Excels from Marquette, Michigan, recorded with the legendary Ollie McLaughlin on his Carla label in Detroit. The Spinners from Ferndale, Michigan, recorded for Motown but had greater success on the Atlantic label where they charted seven Top Ten hits on the Hot 100.
The Blue Light Turned-On Midland
The Blue Light was an important mid-Michigan teen dance center that featured major rock and roll acts, many of the state's important regional bands, as well as a host of young garage bands formed in the wake of the British Invasion. The venue was the brainchild of Hersh Goodwald: a chemical engineer, businessman, part-time disc jockey, and avid record collector, who formed a partnership with some other investors to buy a building and transform it into Midland, Michigan's first, and most important, nightclub for young people.

Heroin (diacetylmorphine) is described by the National Institute on Drug Abuse as a highly addictive drug that is processed from morphine. Morphine is a naturally occurring substance that is extracted from the pods of the poppy plant. Heroin is manufactured by combining two acetyl groups with the morphine molecule. This process creates a partly synthetic opioid or narcotic analgesic.
Heroin in its pure form is a white, bitter-tasting powder. However, when manufactured for illicit sale, the drug can be diluted with various other additives, like sugar or caffeine, and can have a rock-like appearance. Based on what is used to expand the product, the color of heroin may be gray, brown, or even black.
Street names for this drug may include:
The drug can be injected, smoked or snorted.
Heroin is classified as a Schedule I controlled substance. Drugs in this category meet the Food and Drug Administration and Drug Enforcement Administration criteria for having a high potential for abuse, no accepted medical use in the United States, and no safety parameters for use even with medical supervision. No prescriptions may be written for a Schedule I drug, and its manufacture, distribution, possession, and use is subject to stiff judicial penalties.
Most opioids like heroin are characterized as depressants, which are drugs that lower the function of the central nervous system. They are also referred to as "downers," which is an apt description of how they impact the body. However, in individuals with a dependency on heroin, use of the drug can be energizing. An overdose of heroin will result in depressed respiratory and cardiac functions. Unfortunately, without high-quality treatment for heroin addiction, many addicts will run the risk of an overdose.
When someone has developed a dependence on heroin and is in need of heroin addiction treatment, the signs are fairly evident and may include:
Heroin has been in use since it was synthesized by C.R. Alder Wright in 1874. Heroin use, however, hasn't reached the level of popularity of marijuana or cocaine. But with the rise in prescription drug abuse, heroin has begun to be more widely used. This is due to the chemical similarities between commonly abused prescription medications and heroin, making it the go-to drug when prescription medications such as Vicodin and Percocet are either too expensive or too hard to get. Like heroin, these drugs are derived from opium. When the use of these drugs resulted in numerous overdose deaths, legislators passed bills that restricted their distribution and use, and as a result, the availability of prescription drugs became more highly regulated. Heroin, being cheaper and more accessible, became the natural alternative. Now, heroin use is growing, from the inner cities to the suburbs, and can sometimes be found in conjunction with alcohol dependence. The need for heroin treatment is on the rise as well.
The most adverse effect noted with heroin use is the rapid onset of dependence and addiction. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), approximately 23 percent of individuals who use heroin become dependent on it. Heroin produces a dramatic high that can occur as little as eight seconds after injecting the drug. Repeated use of the drug in efforts to repeat this euphoric experience contributes to a growing dependence on it and increased need for heroin treatment. The most worrisome adverse effects have to do with the many ways in which heroin can cause death:
Treatment for those suffering from dependence on or addiction to heroin is highly specialized and provided at quality drug rehab treatment centers. Our facility offers several treatment options to the heroin addict, including specialized medications such as Suboxone that help to reduce cravings. Individualized medical detox is a process that helps addicts to halt drug use in a safe, clinically equipped environment with board-certified addiction specialists. Heroin withdrawal treatment is often the first step in moving toward successful recovery.
Following detox, rehabilitative treatment options customized for the patient may be combined with evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy. Other holistic and conventional treatments enhance the recovery process. Our heroin rehab program's primary goal for all patients is that they achieve full recovery from heroin addiction and long-term sobriety.
If you or a loved one is suffering with heroin addiction, it does not have to be a death sentence. However, it is important to seek professional heroin addiction treatment immediately, before the addiction leads to an overdose or other serious, irreversible condition. Get help by calling our drug rehab treatment center at 877-855-3470 or filling out the form below. We have the tools and the expertise to help, including counseling and dual-diagnosis assistance.

By Janet Mitchell
THE SANTA RITA Mountains, south of town, can be seen from every part of Tucson--deep blue at mid-day, purple in the setting sun, black under the high-piled thunder clouds of summer, or tipped with the white of winter snows.
Enjoy this glorious Sonoran Desert landscape while you can.
Because if an open pit copper mine slated for the northeast flank of the Santa Ritas becomes reality, a 21-mile swath of excavation and tailing piles will slice though the heart of this popular Pima County playground.
But before any mine is excavated, ASARCO, Inc., a New York-based mining company, wants to deal some real estate with the U.S. Forest Service.
The offer on the table would give ASARCO a single 13,272-acre parcel in the Rosemont Ranch area of the Coronado National Forest.
In return, ASARCO would hand over 23 parcels totaling 2,222 acres to the Forest Service. Some are small one-acre parcels in the Chiricahua Mountains, Madera Canyon, and Happy Valley, but the majority of the property is located north of Phoenix.
"Obviously, ASARCO is requesting six times more acreage than it plans to give to the Forest Service," says Randy Serraglio, campaign coordinator of Save the Scenic Santa Ritas Association (SSSR), a local coalition of environmental organizations opposing the land exchange.
ASARCO already owns about 2,000 acres of land in the Rosemont Ranch area. The parcel, formerly national forest land, was strategically removed from public ownership through a 125-year-old mining law that contains no environmental provisions. Now, ASARCO officials say they need the additional land for tailing piles and mine support facilities.
"Without the exchange land, mining on the patented land would make things much more difficult for both the Forest Service and ASARCO," Serraglio says.
Oddly enough, ASARCO agrees. In the company's August 1996 update on the proposed Rosemont Ranch Land Exchange, mining under federal oversight was called "expensive and a hindrance to ASARCO."
THE GAME BEING played out over the Rosemont Ranch area of the Santa Ritas is part of a shift in national policy, a new willingness to cut loose federal land the current administration doesn't deem worth keeping, or that is too expensive to manage. The Rosemont Ranch is merely the latest casualty in a war where no prisoners are taken.
Stevan Christiansen is the Forest Service employee assigned the task of coordinating the Rosemont Ranch Land Exchange. He took the job willingly. Last February, he moved with his wife and two pre-schoolers to Tucson from Wyoming, where he worked as a "forest planner" for the Medicine Bow National Forest.
Christiansen defines his role as "facilitator of public comments." He says he'll manage the project objectively and ensure that all applicable regulations are followed.
"The regulations are pretty tight, but the decision whether or not to allow a land decision is discretionary to the Forest Service," said Christiansen, whose $55,000 annual salary is underwritten by ASARCO.
The story of the Rosemont Ranch land exchange began in 1983, when copper giant ANAMAX proposed exchanging 8.6 acres of private inholdings for 12,941 acres of the Rosemont Ranch area. ANAMAX wanted the acreage to enhance mining of the 1,650 acres of patented land it already owned at Rosemont.
But then the bottom fell out of the copper market in the mid-1980s, and the low-grade ore at Rosemont wasn't worth bothering with. The deal went away before it could be finalized.
Looking to the future, however, the Forest Service decided to up the ante next time around.
Because, according to Christiansen, in its 1986 master plan for Arizona, the Forest Service identified every single one of the 23 parcels ASARCO is currently offering as "nice to acquire."
Conversely, Christiansen said, the 13,272 acres at Rosemont were listed as "base for exchange."
Odd how things just managed to work out like that.
CHRISTIANSEN IS OBVIOUSLY uncomfortable with the perception of the Forest Service being a public policy hypocrite of unprecedented proportions.
Asked why he took this job, he leans forward tensely and replies: "I love my family."
The reality is that the successful handling of the Rosemont Ranch Land Exchange could advance Christiansen's 20-year Forest Service career to the national administrative level. Proceeding with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process the land exchange require gives him job security for at least five years. He's generated a project timeline that extends to the winter of 2003.
FORMER TUCSON MAYOR Tom Volgy recently took a trip to Washington, D.C., to meet with officials in an effort to stop the land exchange before the extensive and expensive NEPA process begins. He says he went "as a private citizen at the request of SSSR."
"It would be crazy to fight a five-year war over this proposal," says Volgy, who is currently a UA political science professor.
"Spending a large sum of taxpayer dollars on a comprehensive analysis of a land exchange proposal that is not reasonable to begin with is not a wise use of federal funds."
Volgy said officials at both the Department of Agriculture and Department of Interior agreed that a land exchange might "make bureaucratic sense but wasn't good public policy." He left with their commitment to review the land exchange proposal, with the possible outcome being cancellation or modification of the 1986 Memorandum of Understanding between the Forest Service and ASARCO.
When the federal government is contemplating action having a broad effect, it's fairly standard practice that the local authorities be consulted first. They weren't. It's this lack of federal notice to Tucson or Pima County officials, this "sneakiness," as the deal's critics call it, that is also of particular concern to Volgy.
"In my 14 years in Tucson City government, the feds never did anything in Pima County without talking to us about it first," he said.
THE DIAMOND-SHAPED scar on the northwest face of the Santa Rita Mountains southeast of Tucson testifies to the evils of the General Mining Law of 1872. It recalls the unsuccessful battles fought in the early 1970s to prevent the limestone-quarrying operation that made the scar. The battle was lost because the outdated law gave the mining companies all the advantages.
It still does.
The law says if someone finds a commercial quantity of a valuable hard rock mineral on federal land, the finder has the right to mine--unless the land has been officially removed from mining. There has been no major revision since the law was passed during a time when the government needed to encourage miners to go West.
Obviously, that time has passed.
ASARCO's current ownership of the land where the copper ore body is located in the Santa Ritas was engineered via the antiquated mining law. Initially, Anaconda Copper Co. and its successor patented about 1,650 acres in the 1970s, which ASARCO eventually acquired.
Then, in December 1995, the Clinton Administration reluctantly signed away another 347 acres of national forest in the Rosemont Ranch area of the Santa Ritas to Asarco, the holder of 111 patented lode and millsite claims on the site.
"Let's call this exactly what it is: a bonanza for mining industry fat cats, and a complete bilking of the taxpayer," Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt said in a recent telephone interview.
The once publicly-owned minerals are valued at nearly $3 billion, but cost ASARCO only $1,745.
ASARCO, which posted $2.7 billion in sales last year, will also pay no royalties to taxpayers on copper production at the Rosemont mine.
Other resources extracted from public lands, such as natural gas, oil and surface-mined coal, require a 12.5 percent gross royalty, based upon production. Coal mined underground generates an 8 percent gross royalty. However, protected by the 1872 General Mining Law, hardrock mining for the extraction of gold, silver, copper and other precious metals remains exempt from any royalty payment.
During the past four years, public mineral assets worth $15 billion have been transferred under the law to private mining companies. In return taxpayers have received a total of $23,601.
"It's a double whammy. The public loses both income and title to the lands," says SSSR's Serraglio.
The use of the General Mining Law of 1872 as a way to acquire cheap real estate has a long history. Nationwide, the instances of abuse add up to a considerable theft of public resources for private sources.
What's really upsetting to many critics of the law, however, is when someone claims the land, proves the existence of a deposit of valuable minerals, acquires the title from the government for a song, and then turns around and sells the land for a substantial profit to someone who plans to use it for purposes entirely unrelated to mining. Like development.
For example, about a decade ago, 60 acres were patented on BLM land outside of Phoenix, netting the government $170. The land now sports a golf course and Hilton resort named Point at Tapatio Cliffs. It's worth around $60 million.
FRANK McALLISTER LOOKS more like a TV evangelist than a big-time executive for a multinational mining company. His neatly barbered white hair is styled in what the Hair Club for Men catalog calls the Monte Carlo.
However, McAllister is ASARCO's executive vice-president for copper operations. He's also on the corporation's 11-member board of directors. With stock options added to his $700,000 annual salary, McAllister makes more than a million dollars a year. His work product is environmental havoc. (See "Bad Business,"page 17)
McAllister has one horse in his corral of stock answers, and he trots it out in response to nearly every question he's asked: Mining is good for Arizona.
But, finally, he admits that ASARCO may not actually mine at Rosemont Ranch.
"The decision to develop a mine on the property would be considered after the exchange is complete," he says.
The final decision will depend on many factors including world demand for copper, project capital cost, and cost of operation, he added.
This could prove problematic. ASARCO has said it would not develop the Rosemont property until its Mission Mine Complex near Green Valley is played out in 25 years. Additionally, from the perspective of mining, because of its low-grade ore, Rosemont has been a marginal mining area throughout its 400-year history.

Yummy Russian Potato Pies!
READY IN: 1hr 10mins
Recipe by Enjolinfam
I love Russian potato pies. I altered this recipe from one by Linda Johnson on her cooking show titled "From Russia with Love." Enjoy!
Top Review by cookiedog
What a nifty little hand pie, perfect to pack away in a lunch box. I added sauteed mushrooms, onions and caraway seeds leftover from another recipe. I don't often bake with yeast but this recipe made it so easy. Made for ZWT 4 by a fellow Jefe de la Cocina.
See Discussion:2 Reviews
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup warm water
- 1⁄4 cup margarine
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 cup powdered milk
