Churches asked to go Green this lentWednesday, February 9th, 2011
Eco-Congregation Ireland calls on churches to Care for Creation this Lent
Eco-Congregation Ireland (ECI) is urging churches to celebrate the beauty of Creation this Lent and to take practical steps to care for the environment.
The interdenominational environmental group, which is a project of the Irish Council of Churches and Irish Inter-Church Meeting, suggests that parishes, communities and individuals might like to plant fruit and nut trees in their localities.
"Planting edible landscapes is one of many practical ways we can prepare for a low-carbon future by increasing local resilience," says ECI Communications Officer, Fiona Murdoch. "It is an especially appropriate action to take this year, given that 2011 is the UN International Year of Forests."
All good garden centres stock a range of fruit trees, although Irish Seed Savers, Scariff, Co Clare is recommended for helping preserve native Irish species. Saplings can be ordered over the internet from anywhere in the country – www.irishseedsavers.ie.
Churches are also asked to consider hosting Just Forests' Wood of Life exhibition – a colourful, interactive display about the social, economic and environmental importance of the world's forests through development education and education for sustainable development. Just Forests will erect the display boards and staff the event and can provide worksheets for children. See www.justforests.org.
ECI is also encouraging churches and their members to choose Lenten resources with an environmental theme. There are plenty to choose from!
The Irish Catholic Bishops' pastoral reflection, Cry of the Earth, provides an excellent starting point for a series of discussions. It invites individuals and parish communities to reflect on the challenge of climate change and the actions we can take to help construct a more sustainable environment. Also, to reflect on the covenant between human beings and the environment "which should mirror the creative love of God, from whom we come and towards whom we are journeying". See www.catholicbishops.ie/features.
The newly-formed Biblical Association of the Church of Ireland has prepared a Biblical reflective programme for Lent on the theme of Creation, which can be downloaded for free from www.bibliahibernica.wordpress.com.
ECI supports churches and Christians as they take steps to care for the environment. Its website – www.ecocongregationireland.org – is packed full of ideas and resources and anyone interested is invited to sign up to receive ECI's monthly e-letter by emailing email@example.com.

Angelina Jolie and I actually have something in common: We both lost our mothers to cancer associated with the BRCA genetic mutation. We also both made the decision to drastically eliminate our own high risks by acceding to surgical removal of our breast and ovarian tissue.
Since my role models tend to fall more into the camp of famed British writer Virginia Woolf, I was startled last week to find myself moved by the experience of Angelina Jolie.
That's because Jolie and I actually have something in common: We both lost our mothers to cancer associated with the BRCA genetic mutation. We also both made the decision to drastically eliminate our own high risks by acceding to surgical removal of our breast and ovarian tissue.
We also share the fact that neither Jolie nor I have the kind of strong family history of illness that is often associated with BRCA. Neither of us comes from a family haunted by mothers, daughters, aunts and cousins lost to breast or ovarian cancer Each of us lost "only" one close relative to these dread diseases.
My own odyssey began when my mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 1998. At that point, the focus was on saving her, and thanks to the aggressive treatment she received at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, her cancer went into remission, and she enjoyed 10 more years of life.
But when my mother died, I started thinking. Because of the absence of a strong family history, no one urged me toward genetic testing. In fact, both my internist and my gynecologist assured me that there was no real need to follow up the death of a single relative with testing.
But I decided to be proactive: Since my mother had ovarian cancer and since I am an Ashkenazi Jew, I would eliminate all possibilities, both for myself and for my children. My decision was validated when I called to arrange an appointment with a geneticist. At the top of the list that the scheduler read for risk factors: Ashkenazi Jew. That, coupled with the single case of my mother's ovarian cancer, was enough to get me in the door, and to convince my insurance carrier to cover the screening.
During the initial meeting, the genetics counselor helped me map out my genetic family tree, which was reassuringly cancer-free. It was worthwhile to test me, but still just a formality, something to check off the list. There seemed to be no cause for alarm.
Until my return visit. Suddenly, we were in crisis mode. I sat in the small examining room looking at the stunned faces of the physician, the counselor and the trainee.
The unexpected had happened; my Jewish hyper-vigilance was validated. I was a carrier of the BRCA 2 gene mutation. My children might be carriers as well, but that's their story to tell. I had a slightly elevated chance of developing pancreatic cancer. My lifetime chances of developing breast cancer: 86 percent.
As for ovarian cancer, when I proposed delaying the procedure to remove my ovaries, the doctor stared at me and said: "You are a walking time bomb." So much for deliberation and control.
Yet, ultimately, it was all about control. I found a nice Jewish surgeon who removed my ovaries, just a few days before Christmas, when the non-Jewish, non-BRCA world was otherwise engaged.
The decision to proceed to the next stage, a double mastectomy, was more complicated. Even though I could have chosen to be closely monitored for breast cancer, I, like Jolie, didn't want to burden my family with a potential tragedy. I had a double mastectomy the following summer, and have returned to my life, healthier and wiser than I was pre-diagnosis. I deal with the elevated possibility of pancreatic cancer by scheduling an annual endoscopy to catch any disease before it becomes symptomatic and virulent.
It's now been more than four years since my life took a turn toward uncharted territory. And yet, like my inexorably positive mother, I feel lucky. I feel that I am in control of my choices, and that I've given myself the best chance to live a full, healthy life — and to continue noodging my three children as long as possible, without being an actual burden. My mother would have been thrilled to know that her illness was the catalyst to push me, my extended family — and I hope others who read this — along the path toward life.
If you are Ashkenazi and "only" a single relative in your family has had one of the cancers associated with BRCA, consider meeting with a genetic counselor about testing for the mutation, which can also be transmitted along the male line. Don't assume that you are safe; take care of yourself. As Moses commands us: "Choose life! So that you and your descendents may live" (Deuteronomy 30:19).

The 2009 vintage in California had a mix of weather conditions that kept growers busy all year long, but in the end resulted in an average-sized crop of very good wines. Ripe, rich, and full, rounder and more supple in their tannins than the 2008 and a notch under 2007 — but the best are excellent.
A slow start to the year was mitigated by good conditions through the summer; a couple of hot spells in August and September allowed the grapes to catch up.
The harvest started just ahead of normal, and things looked great until the 13th of October, when almost 4 inches of rain fell in a day. Fortunately, the rain was predicted well in advance, and many growers accelerated picking and were able to bring in much of the crop before the rain, especially Pinot Noir and other earlier-ripening grapes. The weather after the rain would be critical, as the risk of rot and dilution of flavors became a major concern for grapes not brought in before the rain. In most regions the weather improved and dried up the vineyards, extending hang-time into late October, and the majority of growers reported post-rain fruit coming in healthy and in good shape.
Cabernet Sauvignon has been the flagship red grape of the California wine industry for decades, and its popularity shows no sign of abating. Napa Valley is the heart of Cabernet Sauvignon production and is clearly an ideal region for creating world-class wines. If any Cabernet-based wine is capable of giving Bordeaux a run for its money, it's Napa Valley's examples. However, due to the extremely high cost of purchasing and developing vineyards in California, and the cachet of Napa Valley on the label, this has largely become a category for the well-heeled wine lover.
At their best, Napa Valley's Cabernets are characterized by fruit notes of cassis, black cherry, and licorice and sweet oak notes of chocolate, mocha, cedar, and tar. Today, most of the best wines are aged entirely or almost completely in French oak barrels, which tend to produce somewhat more refined wines than do most American barrels. (These latter barrels often introduce exotic and pungent suggestions of scotch, bourbon, tar, coconut, and dill.) But the use of expensive French oak is no guarantee of a good bottle: too many wines today, due to high crop levels or insufficiently ripe fruit, do not have the stuffing to support their oakiness and can quickly be dominated or even dried out by their wood component. The best California Cabernets mellow and soften with five to ten years of bottle aging, developing more complex and less fruit-dominated notes of tobacco, leather, and earth, with mellower wood tones. Compared to the top Bordeaux, however, many California Cabernet Sauvignons merely endure in bottle rather than truly become more interesting. There are no shortage of quality producers, even if these wines are rarely values. And it remains to be seen if today's outsized showstoppers, made from superripe grapes and undeniably impressive on release, will reward extended bottle aging or will turn out to have been best suited for drinking in their youth.
Many wines labeled Cabernet Sauvignon contain small percentages of other so-called Bordeaux varieties -- chiefly Merlot and Cabernet Franc but also Petit Verdot and even Malbec (varietally labeled wines in California must contain at least 75% of the variety named).
Cabernet Sauvignon also flourishes in Washington State, Australia and even Chile. In Washington, prices have been creeping up at the high end, with some producers aiming to compete with cult wines from the Napa Valley. Consider Chateau Ste. Michelle and Woodward Canyon. In Australia, look to the Coonawarra and Margaret River regions. Chile can reveal excellent bargains to those who know where to look: Montes makes a strong range of quality bottlings, as does Casa Lapostolle.
As Cabernet Sauvignon is bold and assertive on the palate, it pairs best with foods like grilled red meats. Taken together, the proteins and fats in the food neutralize some of the stronger tannic qualities of the wine, leading to a harmonic combination that enhances both partners.

Auditions and registration will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Aug. 14 at the auditorium.
"Chris' artistic achievements are part of our cultural fabric," said Steven Dollinger, president of the Bellflower-based Youth Cultural Arts Foundation. "This year's theme is `Follow Your Dream,' and nobody is a better inspiration to our participants than Chris, who grew up in Bellflower.
"By following his own dreams, Chris helped redefine science-fiction television," Dollinger said.
Auditions are open to the public and will be divided into two age groups, 5-12 years old and 13-18 years old.
The top three winners in each division will be awarded a trophy and cash prize. More than $3,000 in cash prizes will be awarded.
Carter, 54, began his career as a writer for Surfing Magazine.
Eventually, he developed projects for 20th Century Fox, where he created "The X-Files" in 1993. The show, which became a cultural phenomenon with its stories about aliens and government conspiracies, ran nine seasons and was nominated for 52 Emmy awards.
The show won the Golden Globe twice for best TV drama. Carter was nominated for three writing and directing Emmys and won three Golden Globes, among other accolades.
Founded in 1998, the arts foundation is headquartered at the Bellflower Theater. Its sole purpose is to foster self-esteem in children of all ages, races, sexual orientations and religious affiliations by allowing them to participate in arts projects.

Die Bezeichnung Aspirin ist abgeleitet aus "Spirsäure" -- alter Name der Salicylsäure und A = Acetyl; statt: Acetylirte Spirsäure, kurzweg "Aspirin". [H, Dreser, "Pharmakologisches über Aspirin (Acetylsalicylsäure)," in "Archiv für die Gesammte Physiologie des Menschen und der Thiere," 1899, p.307]
The custom of giving commercial names to medicinal products began in Germany in the late 19th century, when nascent pharmaceutical firms were discovering medical uses for common, easily made chemicals. To discourage competitors they would market the substance under a short trademarked name a doctor could remember, rather than the long chemical compound word. German law required prescriptions to be filled exactly as written.

DJ Augustin and Tyson Chandler
Troy Murphy and Travis Diener and Earl Watson.
They get nearly 5M in cap relief, a warm body that can actually play, and get some boards which they desperately need. They also get 15 ppg from Murphy as well. They really need the offense. Earl Watson is a very good sixth man that would be complement to Larry Brown's style. They desperately lack consistent PG play, thus the need for Earl Watson. They have shown the lack of trust to DJ by resigning Felton. Felton is also a player that MJ loves, so DJ doesn't have a great opportunity there. He could come here and get a chance, and probably take Ford's spot next year. Then we have to deal with Chandler. A more injured version of Jeff Foster on speed. JOB may be tempted to play him instead of Hibbert, that I won't like. If Chandler can come in and play PF and C for 50 games a year, thats okay. He'll be a 11m expiring contract, and has almost the same trade value as Murphy.

Marinwood fire Chief Thomas Roach has turned down a wage increase, saying he can't accept more money when fellow employees are taking pay cuts.
The Marinwood Community Services District board had planned to discuss a recommended wage increase for Roach at its Tuesday meeting. He makes $105,435 a year — a figure Marinwood officials said is low compared with salaries in similar public agencies.
Marinwood district Director Tom Horne said the fire chief requested the item be removed from the meeting agenda.
"The chief actually said it was the wrong timing," Horne said.
He said Roach doesn't have a written contract and is treated like any other safety employee. Roach is having to pay an additional 5 percent of his health insurance premium and pick up a larger share of his pension costs, like other employees. Horne said the chief is having to do this without receiving any of the other benefits, such as deposits into deferred compensation. Roach, who has been chief for eight years, said he'd like a raise, but the timing isn't right as district employees — including union firefighters and park and recreation employees — recently made concessions during labor negotiations.
"I couldn't in good conscience go ahead with a salary increase," Roach said. "Money's been pretty tight in the district lately."
He said the district board can revisit his salary when the budget looks rosier.
Roach is not the only Marin public leader to forgo a pay raise. Others have taken the same step, among them top county officials who gave up a 3 percent pay raise at a time when the county lopped more than 200 jobs from its payroll.

Maths game: Do the times tables on your fingers
Everybody usually knows their two, three, four and five times tables, but it's the tricky higher ones where we all come unstuck. Here's a great multiplication game for kids where you can work out your six, seven, eight, nine times tables with just your fingers.
Number of players:
What you need:
- 1 x FREE printable: how to multiply on your fingers
- A good working knowledge of your two, three, four and five times tables
Print out the diagram above. Or you can make your own by tracing around your child's hands and numbering the fingers from 6 - 10 starting at the thumb. Keep the diagram nearby as a reference point for which fingers represent which numbers.
6 x 9
Join the thumb (6) from left hand to the ring finger (9) on your right hand. There will be three fingers in front of the two joined fingers.
Part 1:
Count in 10s, all the fingers up to and including the two joined fingers.
You should have, thumb (10) pointer (20) middle (30) on the right hand and no fingers before the thumb on the left.
So including the two joined fingers you arrive at a number of 50. Remember that number.
Part 2:
How many fingers are behind each joined finger?
You will have 1 on the right hand (the pinkie) and 4 fingers on the left hand.
Multiply those two numbers together: 1 x 4 = 4
Now add the original number from Part 1 = 50
50 + 4 x 1 = 54
6 x 9 = 54
This trick works for all the times tables from 6 to 10.
While it's just as easy to commit your times tables to memory, this fun multiplication trick shows kids how logical and magical maths really is.

With just 5 weeks to go before the party I'd like to pass along some info.
The Pizza King is locatred at 82nd & Center Run Drive. The restaurant shares their building with a liqour store (separate entrance) in the middle of the parking lot. To the north is the The Burlington Coat Factory, to the south Red Lobster & to the east, Hooters. If you need further info you could call them at 577-4040 or contact me.
I'll need to contact the owners about 4 days before the party to give them a head count. This is just ball park numbers so if you decide at the last minute you'd like to attend, (Grace) you're welcome to.
Finally, if you have any suggestions for what type pizza to order, let me know. We'll most likely start out with a meat lovers, one with everything & maybe a pineapple-pepperoni. We can always order more but your input is welcome, after all, you have to eat it. You might as well have a say in what we order.
Castleton Pizza King
5:00, Saturday July 16
Here's the details again............
For several years now, members of the forum have been getting together a couple times a year to talk Pacers, over some pizza.
Once during the summer, usually the Saturday following the college draft, then again a couple weeks into the new season in October or November we have a little casual meet & greet for everyone.
We've come across a fairly nice loaction on the northeast side of Indianapolis, the Castleton area to be exact. There's a Pizza King a little east of the Mall that has served us well.
This summers party will start a little earlier than those before. I have us down for a 5 o'clock tip off on July 16th.
Like ya didn't see my sig already.
For those new to the forum here are the basic things ya need to know.
1. Everyone is invited. Doesn't matter if you post 30 times a day or if you only come here to read what others write. As long as you know about the forum, & the party, you are welcome.
2. Timing means nothing. What I mean by this is...........
You can come when you want, you can leave when you want. It's all up to you. You just want to stop by for 5 minutes, no problem.
We'll be there from around 4, til 9 then we'll move things either to Hooters or Perkins.
3. The Big Payback. We chip in for the grub. The pizza, soft drinks & tip for our fine waitresses run about 10 bucks each.
The Pizza King does serve other items if pizza is not your thing or if you care for something a little stronger than Pepsi. I'll leave that ordering, & paying, up to you.
If this is something you think you might like to do, just let me know in a post, in this thread.

Known for centuries as the Eternal City, book a flight to Rome with Qatar Airways and discover why this is one of the world's greatest cultural gems. The capital of Italy was the powerhouse of the Roman Empire and all roads led to it, bringing with them the riches of the world. Fly to Rome and explore its incomparable historic and architectural treasures. From imperial eagles to fashion capital, Rome has seen it all.
It's worth buying a full day pass on your trip to Rome if you intend to visit attractions such as the Coliseum, Flavian Palace and the many museums of the city. Don't miss the Pantheon in Old Rome, and the imposing Castel Sant'Angelo in the Vatican Area, created as Emperor Hadrian's mausoleum. The famous Baths of Caracalla and Circus of Maxentius are also must-see sites.
If you're a fan of art, take a trip to Campo Marzio, in the Villa Borghese area, where there is a whole cluster of great museums like the Museo Nazionale di Villa Giulia and Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna, packed with old and new masterpieces.
There are lots of world-class theatres here, and on a trip to Rome you should take in at least one show. The Auditorium is the city's main concert venue, with three halls and an open-air amphitheatre. There are also plenty of colourful events throughout the year, from the anniversary of Rome's founding in April to Republic Day in June.
The best way to experience Rome is by simply strolling around the Old City and dropping into places like the Planetarium, Wax Museum and Municipal Zoo, all of which are popular with kids too.
Rome is full of fabulous restaurants. There's no one particularly famous area for dining out, and some of the best places are tucked away in what seem like the least promising areas. Many trattorie serving authentic cuisine are outside the Old City, but most restaurants here are pretty good so you can't go far wrong.
Be sure to try delicious pizzas at the many Pizzerie al taglio, which are basically fast-food venues that serve pizzas by the slice. The best accompaniment to pizza is suppli, a blend of pepper roasted chicken and mozzarella croquettes.
If you're travelling to Rome for the shopping you've made an excellent choice because there are opportunities of every kind here. The premier shopping areas are the via Cola di Rienzo, via Condotti and via del Corso, which are full of designer stores and upmarket boutiques. Look out for exclusive leather goods and high-end fashion.
Euroma2 is a huge shopping centre selling mainly clothes and accessories, whilst the most stylish outlet in the city is La Rinascente, opened in 1887. There are also good factory outlets such as Castel Romano and Valmontone, where branded goods are plentiful.
Flights to Rome land at Leonardo da Vinci/Fiumicino International Airport.
Visa restrictions for entry into the country will depend on your country of origin, length of stay and whether your trip is for business or pleasure. So before you fly to Rome please check the visa and passport requirements.

LaRoche gets kick out of Hudson's knuckleball
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Nationals first baseman Adam LaRoche and Braves right-hander Tim Hudson have been close friends since 2005, when they were teammates in Atlanta.
Hudson is known to play inside jokes on LaRoche and it happened during the Braves' 4-3 win over the Nationals on Thursday. With one out in the top of the second inning, LaRoche entered the batter's box and signaled to Hudson to throw a knuckleball.
No problem. Hudson threw a 47-mph knuckleball that went for a ball. Hudson is not known to throw such a pitch. Both Hudson and LaRoche chuckled, but on Hudson's next pitch, LaRoche singled to right field.
"He is such a buddy of mine," LaRoche said. "Another [time], he went to switch balls and then threw one at my head. The ball went all the way to the backstop. He likes having fun, apparently. I gave him the knuckleball signal walking up. I didn't think he would do it. I should have known better."
Hudson said he was working on the pitch this spring and decided to throw it after LaRoche gave him the sign to do so.
"I was going to wait until the All-Star break to break it out, but it's been so good lately," Hudson said. "He looked at me like, 'Knuckleball? Ha, ha, ha. So I did it and it was almost a strike. It was close. It was over the plate, just a little down."
There was another time, LaRoche flew out deep in the outfield against Hudson, who then threw a rosin bag at LaRoche's chest.
"He is always picking on me," LaRoche joked.

Unlike a lot of players, I like to play defense. I think I can contribute immediately and hopefully get Charlotte back in the NCAA Tournament.
Hate to be the negative Nancy, but you kinda have to be to be a Niner's fan these days. I'm always nervous when the "stock continues to rise" thing is thrown out. All it seems to take is a BCS call and we're SOL.
I remember on Sunday looking up to all the (NCAA) banners while I was in Halton Arena, Guyn said. I just said to myself, Id like to help add a few more.
He's rated an 89 on scout.
Guyn, a 6-foot-3, 165-pound guard who plays at Scott County in Georgetown, Ky., is ranked the 143rd best player in the Class of 2010 by recruiting Web site Rivals.com
From Utter's blog:
Sherrill is rated an 89 as well on Scout.
Sherrill isn't in the Scout top 100. Not sure what you guys are talking by having an 89 ranking...do you mean espn?
ESPN uses Scouts Inc information for all their recruiting (football and basketball). This isn't the same as the scout network though (charlotte.scout.com).
And ESPN is providing a grade, not a rank, in these cases. It gives a range of what they think the player can acheive based on the grade. Gives a little more flexibility than a firm ranking but I don't know how reliable they are.
braswell was initally ranked a 95 and eventually dropped to a 90.
Jesus. This is like explaining the simple D1-to-D1 transfer rule all over again. There is a difference between a ranking and a rating. An 89 or 90 rating is out of 100. Many different players could be rated the same number. A ranking goes to one player and one player alone. There is only one 143rd ranked player. People see his 90 rating think he's the 90th ranked player in his class. Not true. Nowhere is he ranked in the top 100. I'm sure I'll have to repost this same post a dozen more times throughout this thread. :lol: :tongue:
Rankings mean nothing (i.e DiJuan).

Garbage players get 1st round picks, (WTF)! All of the NBA must hate the Pacers! LOL
Hmmm, I thought someone might claim Boozer with the intention of trading him. But since he only has 1 year left on his contract, he won't be eligible to be traded. So teams that bid on him will be planning to use him.
http://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm#Q69The waiving team may not re-sign or re-acquire the player for the length of his contract (which includes seasons following an ETO or option), and the claiming team is prohibited from trading the player until the following July 1. If the player is eventually traded, his new team becomes the claiming team.
Nice selective editing and selective reading comprehension. The point was very clear in my posts from this morning that no one on this board including myself knows who is being offered what or who is negotiating with whom.
My take on the situation was that from a basketball perspective it makes some sense to try and close a reasonable deal with Lance. Nothing more. nothing less. Of course no one chose to comment constructively on that or offer an answer to my question regarding the salary cap situation.

Random question, can someone give me the rundown on Shayne Whittington? He is an UDFA, but basically already has a roster spot on the team? Is he supposed to be good?
Peter Dinwiddie is a finalist for the GM job with the Grizz really happy for him. He is going to do big things.

The poster "pacertom" since this forum began (and before!). I changed my name here to "Slick Pinkham" in honor of the imaginary player That Bobby "Slick" Leonard picked late in the 1971 ABA draft (true story!).
It ain't over till it's over.
Ahh, so he won't actually make the final roster then, or at least most likely won't. Well he did average 16/9 in college, does he have any long term potential? I notice he can shoot 3's. I guess I am happy we are actually using the NBDL, I always thought we should use it more. Especially with a guy like Whittington who is fully willing to embrace playing there and proving himself.
After all these years I STILL hate MJ

Last edited by Strummer; 07-15-2014 at 10:31 PM. Reason: meant to say ploy instead of plot
to all the people thinking miles or whoever is going to be a talent upgrade over lance, "better fit", or whatever, please think back to your take on the pollard for miller swap, the peja for artest swap, the dunleavy and murphy for sjax and al swap, etc, and consider whether you might just be overly optimistic as a rule.
maybe this is the one that works out though. who knows.
I think he expects to make the roster but to start the season in the D League. If he doesn't make the roster than we won't retain his rights. If he's on the roster then he can play in the D league until we need him.
Time for a new sig.
I am not too sure I am believing him one way or the other. Are their any other sources reporting Charlotte's interest in Lance?

Another confirmed tweet about the Lance meeting with Charlotte.
Yip, I think they have high hopes. But they only gave him $25k in guaranteed money. So he's not a big investment yet.
This doesn't really confirm anything though, their source is the Rick Bonnell tweet.
It doesn't say there was a "meeting".

When you come from a company known for building racing planes, you learn to steal any advantage you can get. Supermarine's Spitfire (and Hawker's Hurricane, too) have ejector stacks on either side of its Merlin engine that help exhaust escape, not to the sides, but almost directly aft. Though testing was limited, the push from the plane's high-speed exhaust gasses was reported to have amounted to 70 additional horsepower, raising top speed by as much as 10 miles-per-hour.

MUHAARAR got his head in front in the final strides to give former Malton jockey Paul Hanagan an Irish Thoroughbred Marketing Gimcrack Stakes victory as the Ebor Festival came to a close at York Racecourse.
Jungle Cat, trained by Mark Johnston, did all he could to claim the six furlong Group 2 contest – leading from the start and sticking on gamely as challengers loomed all around him.
But Muhaarar (7-1), saddled by Charlie Hills, profited from a final surge that saw him claim a photo finish by just a nose.
Former dual champion rider Hanagan, who forged his successful career with Richard Fahey at Musley Bank, said: "He's the most genuine horse. He had his head on the floor he was trying that hard. I couldn't ask for any more.
"He's really quite straightforward and he has got quite a lot of kick."
Reflecting on Taghrooda's defeat in the Yorkshire Oaks on Thursday, Hanagan added: "It was hard to take. If there were any excuses I couldn't find that many.
"She was beaten by a better filly. There was such a big build up here, and with it being York especially, but you have just got to take it. That's racing."
Hanagan would later bag a double when Queensbury Rules (8-1) floored his opponents in the Betfred Supports Jack Berry House Handicap for trainer William Haggas.
David O'Meara had to wait until the fourth day, but York's leading trainer finally got off the mark as the Ebor Festival came to a close as Custom Cut won the Strensall Stakes.
The five-year-old showed real grit and determination to win the £80,000 Group 3 contest – battling gamely back to the head of affairs after being overtaken by Trade Storm inside the final quarter of a mile.
Having led much of the way in his bid to rack up a quartet of successive victories, there seemed no way back for Custom Cut, and jockey Daniel Tudhope, when Jamie Spencer and Trade Storm came sailing by.
But the gelding put his head down admirably, forcing his way not just past his rival but also holding off the fast approaching Lady Lara to score by a neck.
It was Nawton trainer O'Meara's ninth victory of the Knavesmire campaign.
"He's tough and it was an excellent ride from Danny Tudhope," said the Arthington Barn Stables handler. "He judged it absolutely perfectly.
"Fast ground is not really ideal for him but he has been a great little horse this year. It's great to get a winner at this meeting.
"We were beaten by a head in the first race and it is always great to have a winner at York."
A dramatic finish to the Betfred Melrose Stakes saw Vent De Force (16-1) produced with a late run to win.
But the one mile, six furlong contest had a tumultuous ending as Joe Doyle, on board Mantou, started to slip off the side of the three-year-old as the line approached as the saddle broke.
He crashed to the floor, somehow managing to avoid the onrushing remainder of the field, and somehow emerged unscathed.
Spencer, who announced his intention to quit the saddle at the end of the season earlier in the Festival, punched the air in delight as Mind of Madness (4-1) hit the line in front in the Listed Julia Groves Stakes.
It needed a photograph, though, to separate the David Brown-trained juvenile from 2-1 favourite Moonraker.
Sutton Bank trainer Kevin Ryan closed the meeting in fine style for North Yorkshire watchers when Online Alexander won the QIPCO Future Stars Apprentice Stakes under Kevin Stott.

Marson remains sidelined with ailing shoulder
CLEVELAND -- Indians catcher Lou Marson has spent the bulk of the first five weeks of the season on the sidelines. Cleveland's backup behind the plate is dealing with a right shoulder issue, and there is no clear timetable for his return.
Marson is hoping to see some improvement in the near future.
"Hopefully we can get it going here so I can start playing some baseball," Marson said Sunday.
The 26-year-old Marson was placed on the 15-day disabled list on April 25 with the right shoulder injury, which flared up during Spring Training, but has been an on-and-off issue for a couple years. The catcher received a cortisone shot earlier this week and has not been cleared to resume playing catch yet.
Prior to the current ailment, Marson was shelved for two weeks in April after injuring his neck in a home-plate collision with Tampa Bay's Desmond Jennings on April 6. The neck strain forced Marson to stop throwing for the better part of two weeks, and the catcher said that down time led to his shoulder acting up again.
"I kind of got set back when I hurt my neck," Marson said. "I was starting to feel better. Usually, the more I throw, the better I feel, but I wasn't able to throw for a good 10-12 days. I was kind of set back."
Marson has allowed four stolen bases -- with no runners caught stealing -- in his three games played. Last year, the catcher saw his caught-stealing rate drop to 14 percent after throwing runners out at a 38-percent clip in his 2010 and '11 campaigns. Asked if the shoulder issue hurt his throwing ability last year, Marson shrugged.
"Maybe, maybe not," he said. "Maybe it was just a down year. It started bothering me in the spring. I haven't felt the same in a couple years. I need to get back to where I'm at the top of the league again and feeling good."
Catcher Yan Gomes has filled in admirably as a backup for the Tribe. Cleveland pitchers have posted a 3.24 ERA with Gomes behind the plate, he has thrown out three of five runners to attempting a stolen base, and he has hit .226 with two home runs and three RBIs in 11 games.
"He's doing great," Marson said. "We're playing good baseball right now. We've got to try to keep it going. They're swinging the bat well, and we've just got a lot of energy right now. It's a great atmosphere. Yan has been doing a nice job. Carlos [Santana] has been doing a nice job, too. That's nice to see."

10 Models That Changed the Look of Cars
Nothing lasts forever. Circuit City is gone, Kinko's is fading, Kodak is on life support, and GM alone has killed off Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Saturn, and Hummer. But though it has skittered along the edge of oblivion, Cadillac is still around. And as of August 22, Cadillac has been here for 110 years.
That's 110 years of memorable cars, lousy cars, and a lot of cars no one cares about. But it's not just great cars or terrible ones that define a brand's heritage and image. It's the combined history. So Popular Mechanics rifled through Cadillac's history to pick the five greatest cars it has built, the five lousiest, and one that's the greatest of them all.
These are all production Cadillacs—no concept cars, no one-off specials, no presidential limousines and no Popemobiles. These are the cars that once elevated Cadillac into "The Standard of the World" or pushed GM's luxury division to the brink of death.
1908 Cadillac
It was essentially the first production car with truly interchangeable standardized parts, and that was a breakthrough in 1908. After demonstrating this interchangeability in Great Britain, Cadillac won the Dewar Trophy from the Royal Automobile Club. That win inspired the "Standard of the World" slogan that has stuck with Cadillac ever since.

"...the defense has put a bulls-eye Manning's back."
Because Lord knows that the entire NFL didn't want to hit Manning before this year.
They're kidding right?
Manning virtually is never sacked, throws tons of touchdowns, and each player is forced to watch his goofy *** on Direct TV every 15 minutes. I'm pretty sure that just about every defender in the NFL dreams of squashing Manning, and it has nothing to do with our defense.

The only reason this is a big deal is because some idiot named Esaison said something, so naturally it must be true. It's incredibly retarded.

A SECOND hot and dry harvest season has arrived for farmers in Yorkshire, and the combines are at work night and day in fields all over the county.
The NFU's Rachael Gillbanks said the fine weather means harvest is up to two weeks ahead of schedule for many, with much of the barley already brought in and the wheat fields next in line.
After the disastrously wet harvest of 2013, two years of better weather mean farmers have got their fields back in good condition and an early harvest this year means next year's crop can be planted in good time, and bodes well for 2015's harvest.
But all is not "home and dry" yet, according to Stockton on the Forest farmer Rosie Dunn.
Although the combine harvester started work around two weeks ago, they are not yet half way through their own 150 acres and the crops they cut for other farmers as contractors. Hurricane Bertha, making its way across the Atlantic from the Caribbean, could change the outlook, Rosie added.
She said: "We got a good start, and if the weather had held we would be well on our way. But now there's a hurricane being tracked across from America, and a lot depends on where that ends up. It could land on the south, but a lot of the harvest is over there so it wouldn't have much impact. But if it lands up north, there's a lot of harvest left to do."
Days of changeable weather could put a dampener on the successful harvest so far, and prompt a mad rush to bring the crops in on time.
"We haven't had any all-nighters yet, but if the weather stays catchy then when there is good weather, you have to make on."

Perhaps we should call this feature 'Scary Tales from Another Era?' We have delved deep into our vault (well, it's actually an Internet database but vault sounds far scarier) and dusted off a selection of stories designed to chill the reader to the bone.
They were all published before 1960 and these books - some of them forgotten, many out-of-print - illustrate how authors and publishers tried to scare people in the days before JFK, The Beatles and everything else that came with the Swinging Sixties. You will find ghosts, monsters, witches, the undead, general strange happenings and a diverse range of supernatural elements in this selection. Some stories might not have aged as well as others – are tales of giant beetles and huge spiders really horrifying for a modern reader?
We have steered clear of the biggest names of horror from this pre-1960 era but there are plenty of authors that you will recognise like Dennis Wheatley, the Inkling Charles Williams, Conan the Barbarian creator Robert E Howard and the prolific Psycho author Robert Bloch.
Multiple titles from Arkham House in Sauk City, Wisconsin, a specialist publishing house that offers weird fiction, are included. Arkham House, named after Lovecraft's fictional city, has been a horror institution since 1939.

Hedging Your Investments
Many investors are too quick to dismiss hedging -- aligning your portfolio so that it does well in both good and bad times -- as a sophisticated tool employed by the mega investment funds. Thanks to the huge popularity in exchange traded funds (ETFs), the notion of hedging has apparently become easier to attain for the everyday investor. Inverse ETFs such as those that promise to zig when the market zags have become popular. And if those weren't enough, you now have leveraged inverse ETF's that promise to perform twice or three times the opposite of what the market does.
Albert Einstein astutely observed that all things should be made as simple as possible "but not any simpler." This is sage advice: The more complex investing becomes the more dangerous and risky it gets. Consider John Paulson, the famous hedge fund investor who obliterated the market a couple of years back by betting against housing and subprime credits while earnings billions for himself and his clients. Paulson's big bet paid off that year and won him worldwide accolades. Yet in 2011, similar big bets Paulson made sent his flagship fund down by over 50%. Basic math tells us that Paulson's fund will have to advance by 100% before those investors are back at break-even....432 more words left in this article.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Small but nice and clean appartment, cleaned every day, convenient location in Wan Chai.
Wendy was very lovely, I had a late flight and could leave my baggage with Wendy.
I stayed here with my boyfriend during one week. It was very clean and small (as it says on description). Location is worth paying for.
Wonderful stay. Wendy went far and beyond to make my stay as pleasant as possible. Her properties are professionally run and looked after and the cleanliness and location is fantastic.
clean private studio in a very convenient location and wendy is very personable and accommodating. I enjoyed my stay.
This is a great little room that has been done up with taste and care. It might be small but it has all you will need and is located close to the metro station. Call before you arrive so someone is there to meet you and let you in or you will spend some time in the building's tiny lobby. Siti, the young housekeeper is always prompt and attentative.
the room was just as described. the location was perfect for what i needed. the shower was good and powerful .
This time around, I stayed at Wendy's place right smack bang in Wan Chai surrounded by a great choice of restaurants, bars... and offices for important business meetings, of course. The apartment was fresh and new, small but I need is a place to sleep and use the wifi. Perfect. Actually, the bathroom was quite roomy compared with most. But the highlight was Wendy, perfect English, always on top of every little detail making sure everything is just right for your stay. Wendy even offered to fetch me an iron if I needed one! Equally as lovely was Sity, Wendy's helper. I will certainly recommend staying at Wendy's.
Apartment very well located 2 steps from Wan Chai Station. Very convenient to visit Hong Kong. Modern and clean studio
Appartement très bien situé à 2 pas de la station Wan Chai. Très pratique pour visiter Hong Kong.

Stop quoting people I have on ignore!
They are restructuring Diem's deal? I don't get this at all. Just cut him. You can find an easy replacement for Diem easily. Guy's worthless.
I'm guessing the Colts cut Hayden in preperation for next year to resign Wayne and Mathis.
And for God's sake, can we please sign a good veteran DT.
First time in a long time, I've been happy with the team that was constructed, and now they struggle. I blame the coach.
But I think the reasoning behind the Diem thing is they haven't signed either oLine pick yet, and even if they did if they didn't turnout to not pick up as fast or if the colts feel like they aren't ready yet, they can put Diem in as a temporary filler. Even if they brought in someone else Diem has a understanding and knowledge of the playbook, and playing with Peyton. That gives him a edge especially with this short off season...
Why so SERIOUS
We need to take a chance on T.O. or Randy Moss.
Moss will likely get a Roy Williams type deal IMO 1 yr 1.5m(maybe a little more)
Last edited by pacer4ever; 08-01-2011 at 03:18 AM.
Pats are looking at Tommie Harris are they changing their defense maybe?
So Randy Moss retired huh...
Interesting... sorry to see him go, but I bet this could just be something so that he can get more interest and maybe a little more money...
We will know by the end of this season...
Why so SERIOUS
by SportsCenter
I'm told Randy Moss didn't find the interest he hoped from his preferred teams like NE Indy, Pitt, and others.
I think Randy Moss could have really helped the Colts. Actually he could have helped about any team. 3 teams in 1 year is all you need to know about him. Really a shame. Sadly I am surprised he didn't become unwanted earlier in his career.
I think Moss would have been a wonderful fit with SD...
Yeah I know there had to be a short list...
Ryan - Maybe
Brady - Maybe
Rodgers - Maybe
Sanchez - Maybe
I think that ATL would be interesting but not enough touches, that goes for GB as well. Sanchez well they run a lot and sanchez while he does okay isn't a top NFL QB. Brady... I just think that is a weird situation.
Houston could have used him as well as SD and the Colts... he may not have thought he would have got many touches with the Colts as well, never know though.
I think that another interesting place for him would have been KC... They were a team that showed a lot of promise last year... They have a QB that has a decent arm, and has shown a lot of potential. They need another WR besides Bowe that can contribute(without their current signings), plus Moss has better hands than Bowe. Maybe they wouldn't have made a deep run in the playoffs but he would have been contending, and probably got a lot of touches as well.
Oh well we will see what happens...
Why so SERIOUS

Only on the menu for the months of October and November, this Pumpkin Custard ($8) is the autumn highlight at Cha-An. It's made with kabocha squash (Japanese pumpkin), resulting in a naturally sweet, creamy, almost buttery custard that's served cool with a dollop of barely whipped cream and toasted pumpkin seeds.
Dig in and find a surprise pooled at the bottom of the ramekin. What's that you see? A layer of caramel! Dark and glossy, thin but potent, and a touch smoky. It unexpectedly enhances the kabocha flavors, and takes the dessert from ordinary to something far more memorable. Next time, I'll be asking for an extra serving of caramel on the side.

A juicy sirloin loaded with Sutter Home Zinfandel-infused mushrooms, peppery argula, and goat cheese spread.
Preparation Time: 15 minutes Cooking Time: 14 - 17 minutes Serves: 6
This recipe was inspired by my 16 year old son, Bradford. He came up with the ingredients and together we made them into a moist, flavorful burger.
This is a humble burger with loads of flavor - easy for the busy home cook to prepare, but impressive for serving to guests or family on any night of the year.
Juicy beef burgers seasoned with spicy Sutter Home Zinfandel, sun-dried tomatoes, pungent Parmesan, Italian seasonings and a touch of fiery pepper oil makes for one outstanding burger.
This would have been Richard Nixon's favorite burger!! Inspired by beef wellington which is named after the Duke of Wellington, these burgers are ideal for the gourmet pallet.
This tasty burger combines traditional ingredients in a unique way. Cooking the burger with the toppings inside creates an excellent combination of flavors and make for an extra juicy burger!
Packed with rich flavors, Napa's Own Boeuf Bourguignon Burgers are my spin on the classic Burgundy Beef. I hope you will enjoy them as much as I had fun creating them.
Served on a thin Kaiser roll, the flavor of the beef in this burger, is maximized and enhanced by the portabella mushrooms and gruyere cheese.
2 1/2lbs ground sirloin 1/2lbs ground pork 1tbs minced ginger 1tbs minced garlic 1/2tbs crushed red pepper flakes(hot) 3/4cup soy sauce 3tbsbutter 11/2tbs dark seasme oil 12ozs shlitake mushrooms(r
This burger is a perfect combination of my husband and me. He's a meat and potatoes grill man, I'm fussy food snob. This recipe brings one of the most famous dishes to the backyard grill.
Being able to combine the flavors of some of my favorite foods, has resulted in a burger that is not only loaded with taste appeal but is easy to prepare and is enjoyed by children as well as adult
These burgers make a jazzy, uptown meal to serve friends and family. I just love mushrooms; they are such a wonderful accompaniment to burgers.
This burger was created for the West and our soliders. When our soliders fought for our freedom many years ago, one of the meats that they ate was buffalo.
gas grill pre-heat to 200 sprayed with non-stick spray need ironskillet and 3 med mixing bowls.....meat is 70% lean 2 pounds for 6 burgers 1 golf tee
This recipe produces a burger that is so tasty that one does not need a lot of condiments to improve upon the flavor. Cheese is also optional because the cheese is on the bun.
I enjoy the flavors of many Asian dishes, so I tried to incorporate these flavors into a burger.
This burger is the poor-man's version of the the expensive dish, but pity the poor rich fella who never tries it!

New York City Food Lion and refrigeration manufacturer Kysor//Warren unveiled the grocery industry's first cascading refrigeration system with naturally occurring carbon dioxide to keep frozen and fresh foods cold. The system is featured in the chain's new, 35,000-sq.-ft. store in College Park, Ga.
Food Lion demonstrated the system during an event held for industry peers and members of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) GreenChill Advanced Refrigeration Partnership, a cooperative alliance working to reduce the use of ozone-depleting gases and curb greenhouse gas refrigerant emissions. The College Park, Ga., location is Food Lion's fourth GreenChill advanced refrigeration store and its third to incorporate the use of CO2, a natural compound that reduces the amount of refrigerants needed to keep products cool or frozen by more than 30%.
The system in the College Park store is described as Food Lion's first "cascading" CO2 refrigeration cycle, which uses a single system and just one condensing unit to refrigerate and freeze foods. Before Kysor//Warren developed this system, grocers incorporating CO2 refrigeration systems needed two condensing units as well as a freezer-specific system and a refrigeration (medium temperature) specific system. This is Kysor//Warren's first CO2 advanced refrigeration system in a retail grocery store setting.
"Food Lion has a long-standing commitment to environmentally friendly operations," said Wayne Rosa, Food Lion's energy and maintenance manager. "The advanced refrigeration system in our College Park store offers sustainability-minded grocers like Food Lion another way to dramatically reduce the amount of ozone-depleting refrigerants their coolers and freezers use."
Food Lion was one of the first grocers to voluntarily commit to the EPA's GreenChill advanced refrigeration partnership, an initiative where companies pledge to go above and beyond regulatory requirements in protecting the ozone layer and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Food Lion was also one of EPA's first Energy Star partners and has 892 certified stores, more than half of the Energy Star certified stores in the United States. In addition, Food Lion is the only grocery chain to win eight consecutive EPA Energy Star awards.
Food Lion's College Park store opened in September. Food Lion, which operates more than 1,300 supermarkets, is a subsidiary of Brussels-based Delhaize Group.
