Live Commentary
That's it from the Juventus Stadium. Thanks for joining me, Harry Slavin, this evening. Be sure to tune back in next weekend when we'll have more Serie A action. Until then though, goodbye for now!
That win takes Juventus nine-points clear at the top of the table. A good weekend for the Bianconeri after Roma's game was washed out and Napoli fell to defeat against Atlanta. It's difficult to look past Conte's men for the Scudetto now.
FULL-TIME: JUVENTUS 3-1 INTER. A comfortable win for the Bianconeri in the end then as they blitzed Mazzarri's men at the beginning of the second half to put the game to bed. Rolando pulled one back for Inter, but their spirited final 30 minutes did little to paper the cracks of another disappointing display.
90' + 2'Mirko Vucinic! Almost adds a fourth! Juve break with pace and Tevez finds Vucinic. The striker does well to move the ball onto his stronger side but his right-footed effort takes a deflection before striking the post and rolling behind.
90' + 1'Into three minutes of stoppage time we go then.
90'Inter still trying to get forward here but once again poor decision making lets them down in the final third. Alvarez moves down the right-hand side but his cross with his weaker foot is an awful one, the ball sailing behind for a goal-kick.
88'Rolando almost grabs his second, again from a corner, but Storari holds the defender's header on this occasion. Vucinic, who could have been turning out for Inter this evening, is on for Juventus.
86'SubstitutionFernando Llorente Mirko Vučinić
86'If Palacio had brought along his finishing touch this evening, Inter could genuinely be ahead. The Argentine has just missed another glorious chance, heading over the bar from inside the six-yard box. Wasteful.
84'Tevez has had a couple of chances now to run at Inter but he loses the ball on both occasions, much to the frustration of the crowd. Meanwhile that cramp proves too much for Lichtsteiner and he comes off for Isla.
82'SubstitutionStephan Lichtsteiner M. Isla
82'Juventus break and have the chance to wrap this one up. Lichtsteiner is the with the chance, but hampered by a touch of cramp, the full-back takes the chance early and blazes over the bar.
80'Just 10 minutes left on the clock in the Juventus Stadium. It has got noticably quieter since the visitors got themselves on the scoresheet. Can they force a grandstand finish with another goal here?
78'Milito is played in by Alvarez but before the cavalry can arrive in the middle to help the Argentine, he is flagged for offside. A close call there. Inter would have been in.
76'Are a few nerves within the Juve ranks creeping in? Bonucci has just headed behind for another Inter corner but it was maybe a little too close to the goal for the fans' liking - the ball dropping just wide of the post on its way behind.
74'Inter seem a little more eager now in this one as they chase down Juve to get the ball back. Perhaps a little too eager for referee Rocchi's liking as he books Alvarez for a foul on Lichtsteiner.
73'Yellow Card Ricardo Álvarez
72'Assist Hugo Campagnaro
72'Goal Rolando
GOOOOAAAALLL!!! ROLANDO FOR INTER!!! Hmm, surely not? A sniff of a chance for Mazzarri's men in this one as they pull one back. Juve fail to deal with the corner and the ball eventually falls to Rolando, whose low effort finds the bottom corner.
70'To be fair to the visitors, they are giving this a go. They've had the majority of the possession in the last five minutes and have just forced themselves a corner...
68'The Nerazzurri try to launch another attack but a cross goes astray once more and Alvarez fails to keep the ball in.
66'SubstitutionMateo Kovačić R. Botta
66'Kovacic off and Ruben Botta on as the visitors make their last change. Another disappointing display from Kovacic who still looks like he has a lot to learn at the top level.
65'Still a long way to go in this one. There is a danger for Inter that the game becomes more stretched as they look to salvage some pride. Juve still look hungry.
63'SubstitutionAndrea Barzagli M. Cáceres
63'It is indeed the end of the evening for Barzagli. The defender makes way for Caceres.
62'A bit of confusion as the game is stopped by Chiellini rolling the ball out. Barzagli looks like he may have to come off but we are back underway for now.
60'A nasty challenge from Pogba as he catches the ankle of Kovacic. The Frenchman gets away with a booking but it looked like it could have warranted a different colour.
59'Yellow Card Paul Pogba
58'SubstitutionJonathan Danilo D'Ambrosio
58'There is a real danger that this could turn into a rout here. Juventus are currently carving up their opponents at will. D'Ambrosio comes on to make his debut. Milito is on too as Inter chase a lost cause.
56'Goal Arturo Vidal
GOOOAAALLL!!! VIDAL FOR JUVE!!! If it wasn't already over, it is now. Pogba battles his way into a shooting position inside the six-yard box and although Handanovic does well to stop the initial effort, there is absolutely nothing he can do about Vidal tucking home on the rebound. Game well and truly over.
55'SubstitutionZdravko Kuzmanovic Diego Milito
55'It is probably a mixture of Juve's dominance and Inter's woeful finishing, but I don't think Storari has had a meaningful touch this evening. Barring goal-kicks, he's been a spectator.
53'Another great chance for Palacio! The Argentine gets his second chance of the but once again he fails to hit the target from a decent position inside the area, firing well wide of the target.
51'Juventus are not sitting back on this two-goal advantage here. They're continuing to push on here and look to humiliate their rivals. The opportunity to do so is certainly there.
49'That is the worst possible start Mazzarri could have envisaged for his side. An even bigger mountain for Inter to climb. I think that may be game over already.
47'Assist Paul Pogba
47'Goal Giorgio Chiellini
GOOOAALLL!!! CHIELLINI MAKES IT TWO! More awful defending from Inter is punished right at the beginning of the second half. Nagatomo fails to get any real purchase on a clearance and when the ball is played back in Pogba shows some great strength to set up Chiellini, the centre-back slamming home on the angle.
46'A short blast on the whistle from referee Gianluca Rocchi and we are back underway!
The sides are back out in Turin. We are about to get back up and running for the second-half!
Just the one goal in the first half but there have been chances for more. Inter were lucky not to find themselves behind from the opening seconds when Tevez was twice denied by Handanovic. They were still in disarray when they fell behind but have rallied a little and could even be level if Palacio had kept his composure.
HALF-TIME: JUVENTUS 1-0 INTER. Chiellini almost had a chance to double the hosts' advantage just before the break but was pulled back for handball. As it is, Lichtsteiner's diving header is enough to separate the two sides at the Juventus Arena.
45' + 1'Two minutes of stoppage time and we are into those now. Inter have a throw just inside the Juve half as they push for an equaliser before the break.
44'Just a minute left before the break. I can't imagine there'll be much added time after a free-flowing first-half. Can Inter forge a chance before the break?
42'Another corner for the hosts but once again Inter survive. Pirlo has been causing problems for the Nerazzurri with the quality of his delivery but so far his team-mates haven't been able to capitalise.
40'Inter are struggling to cope with the wave of Juve attacks down the left flank at the moment. Asamoah has just turned on the afterburners again and find Llorente in the middle, but the Spaniard can't get his shot away after turning his marker.
39'WHAT A CHANCE FOR PALACIO! The visitors break and the Argentine is threaded through down the channel. He has the goal at his mercy but under little pressure manages to skew his effort high and wide when it looked easier to hit the target!
38'Great move from Juve! Tevez breaks from midfield and rolls the ball wide for Pogba. The Frenchman holds the ball up well and picks out the Argentine on the edge of the area. He gets his shot away but it's straight at Handanovic and the keeper collects at the second attempt.
36'Paul Pogba hasn't featured to heavily tonight for Juve so far but he gets the ball at his feet in midfield here. He tries to embark on a mazy run but he's quickly stopped in his tracks by Kuzmanovic, who isn't buying the stepovers.
34'An important bit of defending from Chiellini prevents a decent chance for Palacio, the Italian defender getting across the Nerazzurri striker to clear the ball.
32'So close to a second! Pirlo's corner is nodded on by Bonucci and Kuzmanovic is forced to clear the ball over his own crossbar from inside the six-yard box.
30'We've reached the half hour mark here and it's been plain sailing for the hosts so far. They have another corner here. They created a great chance from their first one...
28'STAT ATTACK: There have been 95 matches between Juventus and Inter in Turin. Those have resulted in 62 victories for Juve, 17 draws and only 16 victories for the Nerazzurri. It certainly looks like an uphill task for Mazzarri's men this evening.
26'Asamoah get's his first opportunity to run at Jonathan down the flank. He tries to burst past his marker into the area but the Inter full-back does well to stop the cross.
24'The Bianconeri are such a well-oiled machine. They have every player back in their own half whenever Inter try and get forward. It leaves no room for Inter to play with and in the end Kovacic can only send a lofted ball into the arms of Storari.
22'Inter try and work an opening down the left with Nagatomo but the Juventus back-line are well-disciplined and are leaving no gaps at the back. At the other end Juve try to counter but the attack breaks down when Tevez miscues his pass and the ball rolls straight to Handanovic.
20'If Inter are to get back into this one they need to find the net now, something they haven't found that easy of late. The Nerazzurri have only scored once in their last five matches.
18'Will Inter already have to change their game-plan after that early setback? They've been their own worst enemy so far with poor defensive positioning. It could be a long evening for Handanovic.
16'Assist Andrea Pirlo
16'Goal Stephan Lichtsteiner
GOOOOAAALLL!!! LICHSTEINER WITH THE GOAL!!! If you give Pirlo that much space, he will punish you. Inter fail to close down the midfield maestro and he lofts an inch-perfect ball into the path of full-back Lichsteiner who guides the ball beyond Handanovic with a diving header. A goal of real beauty from the Bianconeri.
13'Yellow Card Zdravko Kuzmanovic
Juventus fashion their first chance since the opening seconds but Llorente heads over the bar. Kuzmanovic is then the first player in the book this evening as he flies through Vidal. Most of the fans in the ground think it should have been a different colour.
11'Oh, almost a half chance for Inter. A raking cross-filed ball threatens to play in Palacio over the top but an important interception from Chiellini is enough to put the ball out for a throw-in.
9'Juventus are trying to work the ball short in midfield, trying to get the ball to Pirlo whenever possible. Always a solid game-plan, but for now Inter are closing down well in midfield.
7'Inter are struggling to get out of their own half at the moment. Whenever they do get the ball under control in the middle their passing is letting them down.
5'The visitors were screaming for offside while Tevez tested Handanovic but it was clear that Jonathan had kept the Argentine onside. Inter got away with one there, but you feel they won't get away with much more.
3'WHAT A STOP FROM HANDANOVIC! The crowd have barely taken their seats and already the Inter keeper has been thrust into action. The Nerazzurri fail to clear a corner properly and Tevez latches on to Pogba's header back into the area, forcing a fantastic double stopgoogle from the Slovenian.
1'The hosts get us underway in the Derby D'Italia!
The teams are out and we are moments away from kick off!
The big absence on that Juve team sheet is that of club legend Gigi Buffon, who is out through suspension following his sending off against Lazio last time out so in comes Marco Storari in goal. Meanwhile Mazzarri can only call on one recognised centre-back in the form of Hugo Campagnaro, while Diego Milito is on the bench.
INTER: (4-4-1-1) Handanovic; Campagnaro, Rolando, Juan Jesus; Jonathan, Kovacic, Kuzmanovic, Taider, Nagatomo; Alvarez; Palacio.
JUVENTUS: (4-4-2) Storari; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini, Lichtsteiner; Vidal, Pirlo, Pogba, Asamoah; Tevez, Llorente.
We are just around 10 minutes from kick off so let's take a look at the line ups.
Tonight's tie will have been spiced up by one of the biggest transfer - or non-transfer stories as it were, of the January window. Fredy Guarin and Mirko Vucinic were expected to swap clubs until Inter's owner Erick Thorir thought to pull the plug at the 11th hour. Queue a lot of bickering between the two sides and old spats being drudged up - there is certainly a little more than three points at stake tonight.
In this match last year, the Nerazzuri escaped Turin with all three points after a 3-1 victory. Anyone expecting a similar result this season is probably in the minority. The Bianconeri have yet to drop a single point at home this season, while Walter Mazzarri's men have picked up just eight points in their last nine outings.
Good evening and a warm welcome to the Derby D'Italia! It's the 162nd meeting between Juventus and Inter - the two giants of Italian football - and you can follow every minute of the action from the Juventus Stadium right here!

Chennai, July 20 (IANS) Actor Harish Uthaman, who rose to fame with his performance in Suseenthiran-directed Tamil actioner "Pandiya Nadu", is busy juggling between interesting projects in the Tamil and Telugu film industries.
First up for Harish is superstar Mahesh Babu-starrer "Srimanthudu", which will hit the screens on August 7.
"This is my fourth film in Telugu. I'm sure this project will be a big boost to my career. It was a treat to work with Mahesh, who was very helpful. He's a very understanding co-star with absolutely no airs of stardom," Harish told IANS.
In Koratala Siva-directed "Srimanthudu", Harish plays one of the baddies. Mahesh and Harish feature in a high-octane action sequence in the interval block.
He also has Sharwanand-starrer "Express Raja" in Telugu.
"This is the quirkiest film I've worked in. I'm still shooting for it. It's going to be something so different from what I've done so far in my career," he said.
In Tamil, Harish has projects such as "Paayum Puli", "Vil Ambu" and "Paisal".
Vishal-starrer "Paayum Puli" reunites Harish with filmmaker Suseenthiran.
"I'm sure this film is going to be much more realistic than 'Pandiya Nadu'. Although I play a brief role, I'm proud to have been associated with the project. My role is very important from the story's perspective," he said.
Harish plays a young policeman, and his role is said to have been inspired by the real life of Sub inspector Alwin Sudhan, who was gunned down by a gang in Tamil Nadu in 2012.
In "Vil Ambu", which is produced by Suseenthiran, and in Prabhu Solomon's production "Paisal", Harish will be essaying the role of the antagonist

NEW DELHI — Delivery of the Indian navy's first Scorpene submarine has slipped two-and-a-half years to June 2015.
"The original delivery schedule of the first submarine was December 2012 and remaining submarines were to be delivered with a gap of one year each," Defense Minister A. K. Antony says. "Consequent to the approval of the government for revision in cost and delivery schedule in 2010, the delivery of the first submarine has been revised to June 2015 and that of the last (6th) submarine to September 2018.
The 235.62-billion-rupee ($4.2 billion) effort to build six French Scorpene submarines at the state-owned Mazagon Docks is dubbed "Project-75." The delay in construction is being attributed to problems with the absorption of new technology, delays in the augmentation of industrial infrastructure at MDL, and delays in the procurement of some items by MDL due to cost growth, the minister says.
Antony says the Indian navy's modernization priorities are the induction of frigates, destroyers, fast attack craft, submarines, surveillance aircraft, and aircraft carriers.
In July 1999, the government approved a 30-year submarine building plan, which envisaged the induction of 12 new submarines in Phase-I (2000-2012) and another 12 in Phase-II (2012-2030).
India's indigenously built nuclear-powered submarine, the INS Arihant, soon will be setting off on sea trials. The over 6,000-ton Arihant sub will join the 8,000-ton INS Chakra, the former Russian Nerpa Akula II-class nuclear submarine that India took control on a 10-year lease in January 2012.

Storage security policies for data backups and tape
This article is part of the Storage magazine issue of Vol. 4 No. 2 April 2005
When I joined the Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) in 2003 to begin an information security practice, the company decided that a good place to start was at the intersection between security and storage. ESG was well known in the storage community, so why not become the voice of storage security? We discovered a few things very quickly. First, storage technology is extremely insecure from top to bottom. Whether you're talking about Fibre Channel, admin tools, switch configuration or management interfaces, security holes are rampant. These problems exist even in large data centers at Fortune 500 firms with detailed security policies, meticulous procedures and dedicated staff. It's not hard to imagine how much worse these problems are at the departmental level, in remote offices or in smaller businesses. Discovering the overall poor state of storage security was accompanied by another epiphany: Storage folks don't pay much attention to security. This startling realization applies to IT storage professionals and vendors. Let me ...

Division III Regional Semi-Final at OU Athens
Ironton 49 Coshocton 48
What started as a promising night quickly turned to heartbreak for the Coshocton Redskins on Wednesday night in the regional semi-finals at the Convocation Center. After the Redskins took a 27-16 halftime lead, the Tigers clawed their way back in the second half, cutting the deficit to five heading into the fourth quarter. In the final period, Ironton worked their way back and tied Coshocton and with the game tied at 48, the Tigers had the ball and could hold for the last shot. With 4.1 seconds to go, Zac Carter drove to the lane and was fouled. After hitting the first free throw to give them the lead, he missed the second, but Coshocton could not get a shot off before the buzzer.
Carter led all scorers with 21 points in the win for the Tigers. Brandon Taylor had 17 points in the losing effort for the Redskins. With the loss, Coshocton finishes the season 18-6.

CRG announces support of reduction of Waukesha County Board
The names on the CRG letterhead got together and issued this press release in support of the Waukesha Taxpayer League's effort to reduce the Waukesha County Board's members to eleven:
CRG Network: Supports Waukesha Taxpayer League Downsizing Petition
Seeks to Correct Misleading Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Article
CRG Network supports the efforts of the Waukesha Taxpayers League to place a referendum on the ballot to reduce the size of the Waukesha County Board. A recent Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article created the impression that CRG was against the effort.
CRG Network Executive Administrator Chris Kliesmet commented, "CRG has worked successfully with the Waukesha Taxpayers League (WTL) in the past and has a well-established history of supporting citizen causes. This one is no different. The article conveniently omits the strong statements made confirming our support for the effort, the rights of citizens to reform their government, and the importance of groups like WTL to anchor and advance the debate. To suggest our advice to remain vigilant, in order to avoid the abuses we experienced in Milwaukee County, translates into opposition is not only misleading but absurd. We fully support and are proud of WTL efforts to return control of government to the people."
For additional information contact Chris Kliesmet at 414-429-9501.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article in question had the following from CRG:
Chris Kliesmet, executive administrator for the Milwaukee-based group, said he fears that cutting the board would open the door to transforming Waukesha County's part-time supervisors into full-time politicians.
"Downsizing is a good thing; however, you have to be careful," Kliesmet said. "You don't want to create a professional class of politicians. That is the root of the problem."
Orville Seymer, another leader of group, said activists trying to make county government more efficient and less costly should instead work to trim the $9,121-a-year salary paid to supervisors.
Seymer said a smaller board would force supervisors to spend more time campaigning and less time serving their constituents.
"You're consolidating power – you've got to be a little bit cautious about that," he said. "A dictatorship is the most efficient form of government there is, and I don't think anybody is advocating that."

An Apple Shortage
The iPhone 5 is launching all over the world and demand is taking a huge bite of supply.
Since hitting store shelves Apple has sold more than five million iPhone 5 smartphones. But while that's good news for the company's bottom line it could be bad news for consumers anxiously awaiting their latest gadget.
Earlier this week Apple said it had run out of its initial supply which could delay the pre-orders set to go out early next month. Complicating matters more is the riot that broke out at Apple's largest contract manufacturer. The brawl between 2,000 employees happened at a Chinese factory responsible for making parts for the new iPhone and assembling it. Rumors are also flying that Apple's key supplier for screens is struggling to raise funds and pay of debt. Because of this manufacturing the display screens for the new phone has taken a back seat.
Despite the setback it's nothing but optimism from the world's most valuable company. CEO Tim Cook says Apple is working hard to build enough iPhones for everyone. It's the kind of problem any company would like to have.

" Type: Chiminea / Fire Pit "
I bought this chiminea after seeing one in a friends garden and i thought it made a big difference to the ambience in their garden and gave it a nice warm and friendly atmosphere whilst also looking stylish. So i bought the small Landmann chiminea in my local garden shop for around £40. I was pleased with the look it gave my garden, it looked just as nice as it did in my friends garden but i have to admit i was concerned about how safe chimineas are to actually use.
Since i was a child i've always had quite a strong fear of fire so when i tried the chiminea out for the first time i was quite shocked firstly at how much smoke the chiminea gave off and also by how easily it seemed the fire could get out of control. I tried buring both wood and charcoal but both seemed to be just as bad. It also made quite a mess of burnt ashes around the area in which my chiminea stood. I ended up putting the fire out and i now just have the chiminea as a garden decoration.
Perhaps it's just my phobia of fire that has caused me to have this opinion, but personally these chimineas just don't seem that safe to me when lit.
I was so excited to try out my new chimnea this year. We were having friends round for a barbeque so I thought great we'll put it on for the guests!
We had a fabulous barbecue and the weather held - hooray! It started getting a little chilly so we decided to light the chimnea. I had bought one of those fire logs which you just light and it starts burning!
I thought the chimnea would be great for all of us to sit around so that we could all keep warmm rather than just those who are sat directly in front of the chimnea. Some friends have got the other sort and unless you are sat directly in front of them it's not warm.
So with that in mind we placed it in the centre of us all and lit it! ha! well what a fire, in fact the flames were licking outside of the grated bits! it was quite a sight. Our guests had a little two year old which was a bit worrysome so in the end we put up some chicken wire which we had and put it all round about 2 foot away to prevent her from going anywhere near it!
It had the desired effect of being extremely warm and toasty but a little scary!! as it died down it wasn't so bad although was extremely hot!
I wanted to be honest on this review - so as those with little children don't purchase this item! I think with a bit of trial and error we may get the desired effect without the flames. If I work this out I will update this review!
Despite my reservations I am still quite pleased I just won't be recommending fire logs with this particular chimnea!
The other point to make is that it was quite tricky to put together and mine was damaged in the box, once I got the parts that were damaged replaced and put it together it's quite smart looking. It has a little handle for the door so that it can be taken off to poke it.
A classic chimnea suitable for both Wood and Charcoal burning. It can be used as a small barbecue. 92cm High.

Today's Supreme Court judges, five are judges and four are justices, decided to expose their extremist postures.
Today's decisions are about women in particular. Women, who are the majority in America, are referred to as lesser beings with minority issues – women's issues. Birth control is referred to as a women's issue. How deep into our everyday lives does this reach? Even Microsoft's spellcheck marks "women's" issues as a spelling error.
The vast majority of teachers are women, therefore the entire issue of corporate education reform is primarily a women's issue. Both major teachers' unions represent women as the vast majority of their memberships. As a matter of fact, our society still considers any form of childcare women's issues. (As a retired male teacher, I have always dealt with that. Whenever someone asked me what I did for a living, I answered, "A teacher." And they responded, "A teacher?")
The home healthcare worker in the union case is a woman. The majority of home healthcare providers are women.
Major media repeatedly reports on unfair treatment of women in other countries as human rights issues. The abuses of human rights issues in America are reported as women's issues, a mere ideological trade-off of sorts.
Corporate America loves women because they can pay them less for the same job. The equal rights amendment never passed. When men and women are both in the market for the same jobs, women's lower wage status is used by employers to have men accept lower wages. There is a corporate financial logic behind the madness.
Please do not search for any form of justice in both of today's rulings. The Supreme Court judges and politicians/legislators of both major political parties are under corporate control. Bought and paid for.
Hobby Lobby, the healthcare industry, the Koch brothers via their related coal/oil industries and tax free foundations, the Education Industrial Complex (especially the testing affiliations) and all of the corporate paid lobbyists assert raw power via immense concentrated wealth. This controls America more than people, individual human beings, do. This is not about affluence; this is about immense multinational concentrated wealth controlling our lives and our destinies.
Unless we actively create some major changes, America is America in name only.
By the way, I am a feminist. Yes, a male feminist who believes women are equal human beings. My world has been filled and shaped by women – wife, daughter, grandmothers, great aunts, mother, aunts, sister, nieces, and women teachers. We are all human beings who deserve equal rights and true equal justice.

To Mary Jean Messier it's overwhelming.
She figured her son Mark had the potential to become a professional hockey player.
But to accomplish all he's accomplished? Not in her wildest dreams.
"I guess I always saw signs that he could play pro because he loved the game so much," Mary Jean said. "He and his brother Paul would play all the time and they would be out there for hours and hours at the outdoor rinks.
"I knew his love for the game. I never thought it would be like this, but as he got older I thought he might have a chance that he could be a pro.
"But never did I expect anything like this."
Yesterday the Messier family was on hand during a civic ceremony at Sir Winston Churchill Square.
The event included video clips of Messier's best moments from an outstanding 25-year career. It concluded with the renaming of St. Albert Trail to Mark Messier Trail.
"It's a special day and I can't thank the people of Edmonton enough for showing great support and love for Mark," Mary Jean said. "But to name a road after him was more special. What can you say to something like that?
"My family has been here for five generations and to see something like that happen, it's amazing and emotional."
Last night the family also attended a gala in honour of Mark. It featured a number of former teammates from his days with the Oilers.
Tonight they'll all be on hand as the Oilers raise Messier's number to the rafters alongside Al Hamilton, Wayne Gretzky, Jari Kurri, Grant Fuhr and Paul Coffey.
"I'm excited about it," Mary Jean said. "I'm looking forward to it. In New York it was very emotional having his sweater retired for the first time.
"Just the leaving of the game was the emotional part, and I think it will be here as well."
Messier spent 12 years in Edmonton with the Oilers, winning five Stanley Cups. He won another with the New York Rangers.
The St. Albert native was originally drafted by the Oilers in 1979, the year they joined the National Hockey League.
"We've all felt a part of what he's done," said Messier's father Doug. "A lot of the boys are now pretty good hockey players and when they were watching the highlights over there, it was the first time some of them had seen them. It was pretty impressive. It was good.
"We've got a lot of relatives here. When the kids and the grandchildren get older, it's not going to be easy to get everyone together.
"Basically this is the first chance for us all to get together in years. It's great."
Tonight's banner-raising ceremony is expected to be an emotional event for the entire family, especially for Mark.
As competitive as Messier was, he also has a soft spot.
Fans got a preview of it yesterday during the civic ceremony when he took the podium.
"I think that comes from his love of people and where he comes from," Mary Jean said.
"We're a very close family and he's a special person. Even I knew that when he was a young boy."

The Freestyle range has received an overhaul to match the performance levels of today and tomorrow, after seeing an opportunity for progression with some new dimensions.
To create the spectacular, the power and pop has to come from within. The new board now has the potential to blast its way into every possible angle of rotation, driving the discipline into the future.
SHAPE: We compressed the total length of the board (for example the FS99 to 225cm) and shifted the volume distribution slightly backwards, which pushed the center of gravity slightly behind the widest point. The board remains stable and balanced with the bonus of being short. All this contributes to accelerating the rotation of the board for more radical stunts whilst sliding or in the air.
The short length combined with the added volume in the tail, gives the rider the opportunity to push himself and his equipment off the surface of the water instantly. When landing, the board does not sink, as the volume pushes back and keeps you afloat.
Added volume allows us to keep the tail width at a narrow comfortable size, with an ergonomic dome deck under the back foot strap. This results in a comfortable stance for sailing regular or switch, with a body position for superior balance during sliding maneuvers.
The tail is rather narrow so the rider can get more radical in moves and push harder on the back foot.
Around the front foot strap the rail became fuller to avoid tripping and to guarantee good lift for maximum acceleration. The ergo deck remains on board (only for the front strap positions) for ultimate comfort.
From the mast base forward we use bevels and extra Vee just before the tuck line in order to prevent the rail from catching.
The scoop rocker line is kept rather flat for a smooth and early transition from sub to max planing and a little tail kick to make the board fast and maneuverable.
SUMMARY: The new generation boards are radical Freestyle tools to mold dreams into reality. Contrary to many other competition Freestyle boards these toys are still fun to just sail around.

RapeLay (PC) review
"To some extent, RapeLay represents a substantial evolution in hentai gaming: diverse, real-time, interactive sexual intercourse. But let's be honest. In RapeLay, you rape women in the most abusive manner possible and the women learn to like it. Well-programmed or not, I can't get behind that."

How are Windows 8 RT users able to retrieve pop3 email?
So since the mail app does not include support for pop3, what are Window 8 RT users supposed to do?
- Changed type Arthur XieMicrosoft contingent staff, Moderator Tuesday, November 06, 2012 3:01 AM

So since the mail app does not include support for pop3, what are Window 8 RT users supposed to do?
There is nothing you can do unless Microsoft updates the Metro app or you can find another POP3-capable mail app in the store. Windows RT users are totally hosed since they can't use any desktop mail app either.
That's kind of what I was thinking. At this point, I'm regretting buying the Surface since that is one of my main things I will be using it for. I'm sure hoping they update it. I don't see why it would even allow you to select it if they didn't plan on adding it.
There is right now no solution to the problem:
- the native mail client does not support it
- I have not found a mail app that does support it
- there is no announcement that either one is coming shortly.
I do not understand this business decision by Microsoft. Large Internet Providers such as Cox cable do only support POP3 email outside of Webmail.Especially since this device is designed for private people (and the licensing terms basically don't allow you to use it professionally) that do not run mail servers themselves and often use what they get with their cable provider and do not want to change their email accounts.
I love the surface RT device, I really do. I think that it is on a lot of accounts superior to the Apple iPad and any Android device. I am also patient enough to wait for a lot of apps that are still missing, but this is right now by far for me the biggest disadvantage.

Fairfield boys facing Keokuk in postseason opener
Records will be tossed out and rivalries reignited when Class 3A boys' postseason basketball returns Feb. 18.
For every team, regardless of record, it will take three consecutive wins to advance to the eight-team state tournament. For the Fairfield boys, that means beating a few teams they've seen on numerous occasions, and possibly a team or two they've yet to encounter.
Fairfield (4-15) has been assigned to Substate 5 and opens play Feb. 18 in Keokuk against the Southeast Conference rival Chiefs. Although Keokuk (14-5) previously beat Fairfield by scores of 53-24 and 67-53 this season, head coach Tyler Miklo said he's eager for a third shot.
"We're excited for the opportunity to go back to Keokuk," said Miklo. "Obviously, they're a very good team and we'll need to be playing our best against them, but we're looking forward to it."
Should the third time be the charm for Fairfield, they'll move on to play either Washington (5-13) or Solon (16-3) in the substate semifinal scheduled Feb. 21 in Washington.
"We're excited to be playing our best basketball at this time," Miklo added. "Being a tough out for anybody is going to be our goal."
Teams on the other side of the Substate 5 bracket include defending state champion Mount Pleasant (14-5), Clear Creek-Amana (4-15), Williamsburg (11-7) and Fort Madison (11-7). The substate final will be Monday, Feb. 25, at Iowa City West High School.

How was Earth's moon formed?
- print Print
- list Cite
Today, the accepted theory of how the moon was created is that it is made up of debris that was thrown into space when a very large object collided with the Earth some 4.45 billion years ago. This theory is called the Giant Impact Hypothesis. According to this hypothesis, something the size of Mars crashed into the still-forming Earth, causing pieces of the earth's crust and mantle to break off. These pieces coalesced into one round mass, our moon, while the earth and the impactor merged and melted together. A previous hypothesis had suggested that the moon was a "wanderer" that was captured by Earth's gravity, but gravity isn't strong enough to make this likely. Moreover, there is a similarity of composition between the moon and the Earth's crust, which is better explained by the Giant Impact Hypothesis.
The moon has a core of solid (unmelted) magma, surrounded by a layer of molten magma. Early in the moon's formation, some 4.45 billion years ago, iron and magnesium silicates in the molten magma sank toward the core, while feldspar rose to form the anorthosite crust. Meteors and other objects falling on the moon created great craters and mountains. Many of the large craters eventually filled with lava from lunar volcanoes, which cooled to basalt; these are the mares, or "seas," of the moon. Since this volcanic period, the moon has been cooling, so that over time volcanic activity has lessened, and the main geological changes are caused by meteor impacts. The surface of the moon is covered with regolith, which is made of small rocks, and a powder of rock fragments and volcanic glass particles. The south pole of the moon may have some water in the form of ice, which was brought in on comets and asteroids that impacted the moon.
Most of our knowledge about the moon and its formation comes from rocks collected by Apollo astronauts, which were tested soon after being brought to Earth in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The rocks were tested again in 2004, when new methods for looking at certain trace isotopes were available. Among the new findings were clues that more of the moon's material came from Earth than previously believed -- about 80 percent -- and only 20 percent from the asteroid that impacted our planet

Sandra Ramirez and Jesus Valenti Put The Baby In The DumpsterDecember 7, 2009 at 9:10 am by Dakota Valkyrie
Atlanta, GA – Sandra Ramirez, 29, and Jesus Valenti, 26, were about to become parents. Last Sunday, the blessed moment arrived. Somewhere along the line, something went dreadfully wrong. Just how wrong it went will not be known until tests are conducted… tests on the baby's body… the body that police discovered in the dumpster behind an Atlanta apartment building. Sunday night Sandra was taken to the ER because she "didn't feel well". She also had some unusual bleeding going on. The staff determined that she had recently given birth. With no baby accounted for, the staff called the police. Initially, Sandra and Jesus were uncooperative. After a time, the cops were told she had given birth to a stillborn baby and buried it. Later she led the authorities to the baby in the dumpster. I'm not sure "under a bunch of garbage" counts as "buried" but it must have to Sandra.
I get that there may be some situation that lead them to not seek medical care and unable to afford proper funeral expenses. At the same time, I can't help but notice that they did seek medical care when it was Sandra who needed it and I doubt they would have left her for the trash-man if she had passed her expiration date. Sandra Ramirez and Jesus Valenti have been charged with abandonment of a dead body. After the autopsy and tests are done, there may be more charges.

BALTIMORE (WJZ)—Tragedy for the family of Maryland Congressman Elijah Cummings. The lawmaker's nephew was murdered while away at college.
Weijia Jiang reports police don't have a motive or a suspect.
Shock and outrage on the campus of Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Va. after the murder of Chris Cummings, a junior majoring in criminal justice.
Chris Cummings is the nephew of Maryland Congressman Elijah Cummings, who is listed as an "inspiration" on his Facebook page.
In a statement, the congressman said, "Christopher was an amazing young man who was loved and admired by so many people who had the honor of knowing him. An exceptional student with a 3.5 GPA, he had ambitious plans for his future after graduating from Old Dominion."
Friends agree.
"He was really outgoing," said one friend. "He loved to meet new people, very nice."
Cummings was living in an off-campus house with a few friends.
Over the past few months, a number of other students in the area have been the victims of robberies. Around 5 a.m. Friday, Cummings and roommate Jake Carey were shot. Carey crawled across the street for help, injured so badly he can't speak.
Congressman Cummings is urging witnesses to come forward.

A NORTH-EAST MP has praised the Health Select Committee for agreeing to discuss legislation which could open up the NHS to a much more radical privatisation of services.
The decision by committee, chaired by the former Tory Health Secretary, Stephen Dorrell, followed a written appeal from Grahame Morris, Labour MP for Easington for them to discuss the issue before the regulations become law.
Mr Morris said while he was delighted at the opportunity to scruitinise "these fundamental changes", he added that the rightful place for debate was the House of Commons.
Loading article content
"I will be pressing for a full parliamentary debate on this issue, as we need a Government guarantee that health services will not be privatised against the wishes of the public and commissioners," he added.
On his website Mr Morris urged David Cameron and Nick Clegg to "come clean to the public" over proposals to bring in legislation which would "confirm out worst fears, the full scale privatisation and fragmentation of the NHS."
His comments coincided with a new warning from the Royal College of Nursings Northern Region of a possible break-up of NHS services across the North-East and Cumbria.
A spokesman for the RCN Northern Region said: "There is a significant risk that if these regulations pass next Tuesday, our region will see far more services opened up to unfettered price competition between a myriad of different providers."
Since September last year a number of NHS contracts in the region were awarded to private providers.
They included adult hearing, podiatry and anti-coagulation therapy in County Durham and Darlington and adult hearing, psychological therapies and the provision of wheelchairs in the NHS Tees area.

Orioles non-tender three
Orioles non-tender three
Workhorse reliever Todd Williams and popular utilityman David Newhan were among three Orioles not tendered contract offers by the club at Tuesday's deadline, making them free agents eligible to negotiate with any of the 30 Major League teams. Also not getting the offer of a 2007 contract was right-hander Aaron Rakers, who pitched in 13 games for Baltimore from 2004-05 but did not appear with the Orioles last season. Williams, a 35-year-old righty, led the Orioles' staff with 62 appearances in 2006. He had a 2-4 record with one save and an ERA of 4.74 in his third season with Baltimore.
Newhan, 33, has also spent parts of the last three seasons with the Orioles. Last season, he battled back from a broken leg suffered in April to finish the season with a .252 average while playing all three outfield positions and at first base. Being non-tendered removed the three players from the Orioles' 40-man roster, which thus stands at 39 with the addition of newly signed outfielder Jay Payton.

I've found myself wanting an ASCIIFoldingFilter that emits both the folded tokens and the original, unfolded tokens.

nik, can't we just use the keyword attribute and support it in ASCIIFoldingFilter? this should be an easy one no?
I thought about that but my instinct was that duplicating with the keyword attribute would add overhead in the case where there aren't characters to fold which is by far the more common case. I think you'd also have to make supporting the keyword attribute optional so it wouldn't break backwards compatibility. I figured optionally supporting the keyword attribute would be about the same amount of work/code as only duplicating when required so I went that way. I went with adding the extra class and moving the real implementation to an absract base class more out of desire to be minimally invasive to the original then anything technical.
well the keyword attribute is supported all over the place for that purpose. For BW compat we have the version attribute and to remove duplicates there is RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilter. We should really think about if we want to add an abstract class here. I don't think so to be honest. Another way is to make it an option or to use a delegator and store the state in the delegate TokenFilter?
I suppose I'm just used to abstract classes but you are right, the delegate would work better here. I'll make that change. Before I do, though, does my argument (more instinct, really) about only cloning the token if there is anything to fold make sense? If not I'll just add support for the keyword attribute with a version check.
well I mean actually doing the delegate in user land aka in your code. I could see this being useful but why makeing such an effort, can't you just add a boolean to the ctor and implement it in the filter?
I like this patch much better. I wonder if we can come up with a better naming for the variables / options. In PatternCaptureGroupTokenFilter we use preserveOriginal which I kind of like better. For the tests I wonder if you can make assertNextTerms accept a ASCIIFoldingFilter instead of a TokenFilter and add a getter to it so we can randomly set if the orig should be preserved? That would also prevent the subclass?

LUCENE-5437: ASCIIFoldingFilter now has an option to preserve the original token
Commit 1567597 from Simon Willnauer in branch 'dev/branches/branch_4x'
[ https://svn.apache.org/r1567597 ]
LUCENE-5437: ASCIIFoldingFilter now has an option to preserve the original token
ASCIIFoldingFilter's preserveOriginal=true breaks wildcard queries, since it is a MultiTermAwareComponent.
<fieldType name="text_ascii_preserve" class="solr.TextField" positionIncrementGap="100"> <analyzer> <tokenizer class="solr.StandardTokenizerFactory"/> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/> <filter class="solr.ASCIIFoldingFilterFactory" preserveOriginal="true"/> </analyzer> </fieldType>
With the above type, q=manu:Belkı* yields:
"error": { "msg": "analyzer returned too many terms for multiTerm term: Belkı", "code": 400 }
I think preserveOriginal is dangerous for token filters that implement MultiTermAwareComponent.
What is the preferred action here? Document this limitation/behavior? Or consider this as a bug and open a jira?
How about this change in ASCIIFoldingFilterFactory?. Aways return preserveOriginal=false in getMultiTermComponent so we don't get exceptions.
@Override public AbstractAnalysisFactory getMultiTermComponent() { if (preserveOriginal) { Map<String, String> args = new HashMap<>(1); args.put("preserveOriginal", "false"); return new ASCIIFoldingFilterFactory(args); } else return this; }

MEN'S HOCKEY: Kristo and MacWilliam both sign NHL deals
GRAND FORKS, N.D. - Andrew MacWilliam's not sure if he's allowed to be friends with Danny Kristo anymore.
Sure, they've been teammates and classmates for the past four years at UND. Sure, they've lived in the same building for the past year.
But as of Wednesday afternoon, they are now rivals.
MacWilliam, a physical defenseman from Alberta, signed a two-year contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs, while Kristo, a skilled forward from the Twin Cities, signed a two-year deal with the Montreal Canadiens.
The Leafs and Habs are the biggest rivals in the NHL.
"The first time we ever played against each other was the World Junior A Challenge, and we were pretty big enemies," MacWilliam said with a laugh.
At UND, they became good friends who led the team to 105 victories, four Western Collegiate Hockey Association titles (three Broadmoor Trophies, one MacNaughton Cup) and one NCAA Frozen Four.
"They brought a great amount of value to our program," UND coach Dave Hakstol said. "They didn't just all-of-the-sudden in the last year or two show up and become good players. They, along with others, worked hard day in and day out. They put in the work it takes to become a great player at this level. Within their roles, they've each become dominant players at this level and they're ready to go and be very good pros."
MacWilliam was the captain as a senior, Kristo an alternate captain.
They played much different roles, though.
MacWilliam was a punishing defenseman, who led UND with 43 penalties and 116 penalty minutes. He also had a plus-13 rating, best among UND's defensemen. He will report to the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League, but Leafs general manager Dave Nonis told local media that, "I'd expect he'll move up the ranks pretty quick."
The Maple Leafs drafted MacWilliam in the seventh round in 2008.
"He plays an efficient, two-way game," Hakstol said. "Part of that game is an abrasive, physical element and that will bring value at the pro level."
Kristo is an explosive, game-breaking player who earned first-team all-WCHA honors, was named a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award and was tabbed as the College Hockey News player of the year.
Kristo, a second-round pick of the Canadiens in 2008, tallied 26 goals and 52 points, leading UND in both categories.
"The biggest thing for him is to be able to play a good, baseline game in all different situations," Hakstol said. "He has outstanding offensive ability, but to be in the lineup on a regular basis at this time of year, you're going to have to be a reliable player. I think Dan has worked very hard to become that."
Although both players are moving toward a career in the NHL, they had a sense of sadness in leaving UND.
"It was the best four years of my life," MacWilliam said. "It was such a great group of guys that I got to spend it with. I was fortunate enough to be on some great teams. The class we had was pretty special. The memories and the friends I made, I'll have for a lifetime."

Well, the unmentionable happened. I dropped the bike while stopped. Let myself get distraced with unfamiliar surroundings before getting control at the stop. Got lucky: the only real damage became apparent later - system case came off the lower mount, rubbed up against the rear tire for a few miles or so before I relaized what happened.
Tire melted a hole into the system case, about 4"long by 2" high.
I was thinking about trying a fiberglass repair. It doesn't have to be real pretty, as it's not a visually exposed area.
Any thoughts?

Red Sox re-sign Mirabelli
Red Sox re-sign Mirabelli
A rock behind starting catcher Jason Varitek during most of his time with the Red Sox, Mirabelli struggled mightily last year -- particularly at the plate.
"Doug has done a lot for this club over the years," said Epstein. "I think last year was a disappointing year for him. I think he would say that, and we would certainly say that. He's got a lot to prove. He's taking a fairly sizable cut in pay and has a lot to prove. He wants to demonstrate that he's an integral part of this club, and certainly he has been in the past."
Mirabelli, who made a base salary of $1.5 million in 2006, will make $750,000 in '07. However, incentives could bring it up to $1 million.
"I think you're getting a guy who's going to work extremely hard this winter to re-establish himself as a valuable, contributing member of this team," said Epstein. "From talking to Doug, that's the approach he's taking. Last year was not the real Doug Mirabelli. He wants to be in Boston; he doesn't want to be in a situation to let the team down and let his teammates down. He has a lot of pride in himself and is going to work hard this winter to make sure he plays a more fundamental role next year."
The Red Sox began the 2006 season without Mirabelli after the winter trade that sent him to the Padres for Mark Loretta. But after Josh Bard struggled catching Tim Wakefield's knuckleball over the first month of the season, Epstein reacquired Mirabelli. The deal didn't have a good short-term return, with both Bard and reliever Cla Meredith (the two players sent to San Diego) thriving and Mirabelli hitting .193 for the Red Sox with six homers and 25 RBIs.
Mirabelli did have one unforgettable day. That being May 1, the day Epstein re-acquired him. With the Red Sox having a game with the Yankees that night and Wakefield pitching, Mirabelli was swiftly jetted across the country so he could return to Fenway Park for that contest.
Mirabelli hopped in a police escort once he landed in Boston, changed his uniform in the car and got to Fenway literally just minutes before the first pitch. The Sox won the game behind a strong effort from Wakefield.
The one overwhelming strength Mirabelli has is the superb way he handles Wakefield.
"I think the one guy we know can catch Tim Wakefield is Doug Mirabelli," said Epstein. "There comes a time if that's not a viable option, you have to experiment. But I think any time you have a known commodity as far as someone we know who can handle him, it's a check mark in his favor."

Jazz guitarist Russell Malone will be holding a special concert on Sept. 29, at 7:30 p.m. at the Akron Public Library Auditorium. All proceeds will benefit Akron Children's Hospital.
Malone will be joined by saxophonist Harry Allen and vocalist Rebecca Kilgore. Tickets are $50 each and are on sale now at www.nightisalive.com. Additional ticket packages are also available. This is the second time Malone has performed for Akron Children's. His first concert, which was met with wide acclaim, was held in March 2011.
Russell Malone has made an indelible mark on the guitar and continues forging a path as an ever-evolving artist. Born and raised in Albany, Ga., he started making a name for himself as he moved to Houston, Atlanta and ultimately to New York City.
Malone spent time touring as a member of bands led by the likes of Harry Connick, Jr. and Diana Krall. His self-titled debut in 1992 quickly went to No. 1 on the radio charts and was followed by Black Butterfly. Three more releases followed, Sweet Georgia Peach, Look Who's Here and Heartstrings, before Malone launched the strings series for MAXJAZZ with his label debut Playground (2004). He followed that release with two volumes of the critically-acclaimed recordings Live at Jazz Standard (2006 and 2007).
These days Malone is an integral member of bands led by Grammy Award-winning artists including the legendary saxophonist Sonny Rollins, vocalist Dianne Reeves and bassist Ron Carter as part of his Golden Striker Trio (with label-mate and pianist Mulgrew Miller). Malone's most recent release, Triple Play, was released in the fall of 2010 on MAXJAZZ.

Emily Ratajkowski is feeling the Bern — and you just might too after seeing her model the candidate's sweater while campaigning for him in New Hampshire.
The actress and Sports Illustrated swimsuit model took a break from the campaign trail Monday to post a photo of herself donning a custom "Bernie" sweater in the freezing cold.
I'm happy to b in NH w/ @berniesanders & to speak at the rally tonight! I will be on approx 5:50 #votetogether pic.twitter.com/7s9JDXSfxC
— Emily Ratajkowski (@emrata) February 8, 2016
Ratajkowski joined the Democratic socialist to stump for him at rallies one day before the all-important New Hampshire primary.
On the stump, the 24-year-old took a shot at feminist icon Gloria Steinem who said recently that women supporting Sanders were only attending his events to meet "boys."
"So I am a young woman and um, well, just to make one thing clear: I'm here because I support Bernie Sanders… I'm not here for the boys," Ratajkowski said.
The supermodel said she would like to see a woman president, but added, "I want my first female president to be more than a symbol, I want her to have politics that can revolutionize."
"Bernie Sanders is offering the ACTION we desperately need. His economic solution will provide for those who suffer from the oppression of a broken system, including women," Ratajkowski said.
Ratajkowski is not new to the political scene.
Last year, she recorded videos for Planned Parenthood, saying the issue of women's health was "very near and dear to my heart."

Shoppers in Illinois and other states have been unable to use their food stamp debit cards because of an outage at the vendor that processes the payments.
Xerox Corp. spokeswoman Karen Arena confirmed Saturday that some Electronic Benefits Transfer systems are experiencing temporary connectivity issues. She says technical staff is addressing the issue and expects the system to be restored soon.
Januari Smith is spokeswoman for the Illinois Department of Human Services.
She says people began reporting problems using their LINK cards Saturday morning.
Smith says it "really is a bad situation." She says typically when cards aren't working retailers may call a number to find out how much money a customer has in their account. But that information also was unavailable, so customers couldn't access their benefits.

Toyota isn't giving away money or cars
This may surprise you, but "Toyota International Lotto Headquarters is a scam. Toyota does not give cars or money away.
If you get an e-mail supposedly from the TIL Headquarter Customer Service Department, it's phony. Delete it.
The scammer congratulates the e-mail recipient three times and addresses the recipient as "Dear Winner".
The body of the e-mail speaks of Toyota's pleasure in its duty to inform you of this windfall.
The winner was "chosen to enter the contest from a contest bank of over 7.4 million e-mail addresses."
Prize is $5 million dollars. You get a million. One must admit, this is a very good deal for doing absolutely nothing. If it is too good to be true, consider it untrue.
Instructions put you together with contact person "Frank Shin."
Name of "Mrs. Ting Yang Lee," the coordinator, is typed in.
There is no signature, or course, but under the closing is a list of 14 items regarding the recipient's personal data which is needed to proceed with the claim.
Anyone can investigate the email to determine if the offer is legitimate or phony. Search the different websites with information addressing the offer. Use the search engine you are most comfortable with and type in " Toyota International Lotto."
Next step is to enter, then choose the listed website that seems to have information on the topic being researched.
Open the website and read its contents. You can tell very quickly, if this is the information you are seeking or not.
At www.scamwarners.com you can read several versions of the TIL scam.
It may also give the original date of the scam or as close as it can be determined. If you check these scams out for yourself, you can help spread the word about the criminal's intent to scam others.
REGISTER—Have you registered to vote? Senior citizens have the reputation for exercising their right to vote and they do just that at every opportunity.
Voter turnout in Milam county is lacking most of the time. May 29 is the date set for Texas primary elections.
If you missed out because you did not register, then by all means, register so your voice is heard in the Nov. 6, general elections.
If transportation is a problem, contact the county clerk's office or one of the political parties.

Let's be real, everyone loves fast food. (Whether or not you want to admit it, but there's something about French fries that really gets people going.)
As a nutritionist, it's hard for me to approve calorie-laden burgers, milkshakes or double decker bacon-filled ranch-dressing-topped nutritional nightmares. They're not providing a ton of good nutrients, and instead are passing along sugar, fat and carbohydrates that will leave you feeling sluggish in its place.
That being said, you have to live your life. That's the point of my new book, Bread is the Devil -- it's your life, not your diet, that takes precedence. So I never want you to eliminate things you love completely. Why not? That will not only make you want those foods MORE, but it's unrealistic. You're not going to go the rest of your life without eating a hamburger. (Even I like one occasionally.)
Maybe you just really want a little fast-food treat, or you're on the road and have no choice.
Here are some healthy options for some of the most popular chains. You never have to ban entire restaurants or types of food from your life. That only leads to wanting those foods more!
Small indulgences like the ones I've chosen below can get you far:
1.) Fruit and yogurt parfait -- 160 calories
2.) Caesar salad with grilled chicken and low-fat balsamic vinaigrette -- 260 calories
Taco Bell
1.) Grilled steak soft taco (Fresco) -- 150 calories
2.) Gordita supreme, chicken -- 270 calories
Burger King
1.) Tender grilled chicken garden salad with Ken's fat-free ranch dressing -- 290 calories
2.) Small burger with a bun (260 calories). This counts as one angel carb. (What's an angel carb? A good carb, because some bread is bad, but not all of it!)
Pizza Hut
1.) Two slices of a 12-inch pizza, -- 300 calories, 2 angel carbs.
It is possible to eat fast food (very occasionally) and still keep it healthy. These are splurges, but not outrageous ones. No matter your lifestyle, job scenario or wallet, you can eat well. Read more strategies in my new book, Bread is the Devil.

Yahoo claims "your use of the YAHOO! mark in the Domain and on the website located at the Domain constitutes trademark infringement and unfair competition, and dilutes and tarnishes the famous YAHOO! trademark."
After doing a little googling (heh, heh) on the subject of trademarks, it appears that if my domain is confusingly similar to theirs that they may have a legitimate beef. However if you look at all my posts on this site and all the comments, and if you were able to look at all the email I have received (even the penis ones) you wouln't find a single instance of anyone ever confusing my website for theirs.
One factor, according to one trademark website, in determining whether users would be confused or not is the sophistication of said users. What is Yahoo saying about itss users? they aren't sophisticated enough to tell the difference between a "!" and "gle"? I know my visitors can. Sheesh, even AOL'ers would be able to tell the difference.

Writing thoughts, processes and samples. That's what you'll find here. Also general insights on life here in Puerto Vallarta, some faves, raves and now and again a rant.
When I say writing thoughts, processes, etc. I don't mean that generally. I mean it for me — so this will relate to the things, thoughts and loves that have followed me around for years. There are two overarching categories — plants and herbal remedies. That's one, and was the source of my first book "ABC's of Rainforest Herbs."
The other is metaphysics, spirituality and the psyche. Kind of Earth-loving witchy ways. That was my second book: "ABC's for the Hard Times," which is about getting the better of crises.
So, in sum, the blog posts discuss those two loves. They're mostly the raves. Then there's the occasional political observations that spill over just because I can't not. Those would are likely be the rants.

Kararehe: Animals in Art, Literature and Everyday Culture in Aotearoa New Zealand
A 3-year interdisciplinary, bicultural project supported by a Royal Society of New Zealand Marsden grant (2005-2007)
Principal Investigators
Annie Potts and Philip Armstrong (Culture, Literature & Society, University of Canterbury)
Associate Investigator
Deidre Brown (Architecture, University of Auckland)
In the arts, in popular culture, and in everyday situations and environments, the lives of humans are continually and intimately bound up with those of nonhuman animals, both real and imaginary. As with many habitual aspects of life, however, the meanings derived from this ubiquitous network of interactions most often remain invisible. Yet recently, across the globe, scholars and critics from a range of fields have begun to turn their attention to what has been called "the animal question", by examining the ways in which interactions between humans and animals reflect and shape important social and cultural issues: these include how we understand our own identities and those of others; how we regard, inhabit and make use of the natural world; and how we think about what to buy, eat, wear, watch and read.
This project, entitled "Kararehe: The Animal in Culture in Aotearoa New Zealand", will investigate these questions in a local context, particularly with regard to the exchanges between Māori and Pākehā understandings of animals and human-animal relations as these are expressed in the visual arts, in literature and in popular media and everyday life.
Planned outcomes from this project include a co-authored book, inaugural NZ symposium on Human-Animal Studies, and art exhibition.
