Leicester Betting Odds
Leicester Racecourse
Racing, Betting, Scandal
Leicester stages both Flat and National Hunt racing, but both of its most famous moments in racing history came on the level.
Firstly came the Flockton Grey scandal in 1982, when a ringer was used to win a maiden at Leicester in March of that year.
Flockton Grey was supposed to be making his debut, but another horse, Good Hand, ran in his name and won by 20 lengths. Suspicion was immediate and a police investigation quickly followed. Owner Ken Richardson was charged with conspiracy to defraud.
Eight years later Leicester was the scene of the 'Second Coming' of Lester Piggott, the 11-time Champion Jockey who won the Derby nine times.
Having retired as a jockey in 1985, Piggott was jailed for three years in 1987 after being convicted of tax fraud. Yet on October 15 1990 he resumed his career as a rider at Leicester, where he finished second on his first ride back before failing to win on his other two.
He won the next day at Chepstow, though, and then 12 days later sealed his comeback with a sensational win aboard Royal Academy in the Breeders' Cup Mile at Belmont Park.

Humble, Texas (PressExposure) May 04, 2012 -- Life Changing Care of Texas Opens To Treat Migraine Headache Cases In The Houston Area.
There is a new hope in the Houston area for those that suffer with Migraines and Chronic Headaches. Dr. Walter K. Crooks is a Certified Chiropractic Clinical Neurologist and the author of the DVD,' Breakthrough Treatments For Migraines & Headaches', has opened a new clinic to treat these types of chronic health conditions.
With an intense knowledge of the nervous system coupled with his understanding of the much-ignored metabolic aspect of his patients, Dr. Crooks has a multi-pronged approach to treating those with migraines and chronic headaches. His "out of the box" way of thinking about these conditions leads him to not only try and manage ones symptoms but instead to get to the root of what has caused this debilitating condition in the first place.
"For years I had done just as everyone else when it came to treating those with migraine headaches, I was doing what everyone else was trying to do. I was looking at the human body like it was a bunch of little compartments. I was focused on symptoms, chasing them like a dog does his own tail, but not really understanding how all the systems of the body worked together and how this could all go wrong."
"This led me on a journey to find what I was overlooking and missing. I knew neurology, I have been called to be a witness in criminal cases as expert in human neurology and yet this "brain disease" alluded me."
"I immersed myself in the study of the human immune system along with the metabolic side of man. This intense study of physiology, neurology and immunology led me to one of my greatest discoveries...Everything in the body affects everything else!"
With this new knowledge at hand, Dr. Crooks has made amazing advancements in his treatment of those stricken with these types of chronic conditions. He has vowed to leave no stone unturned in his quest to help keep his vow he made to himself many years ago, that is to have a maximum positive impact on every person whom he treats.
"It is a humbling experience whenever someone who had given up all hope for better health comes up to me after their treatment program, with tears of joy in their eyes, thanking me for giving them back whatever it is that they had lost because of their Migraine Headaches, be it freedom, family, and most importantly their human dignity."

@AGJimHood "runs the AG (office) like a plaintiff's attorney, looking for deep pockets"
AG Hood again targets Google
On Jan. 17, Hood announced the lawsuit against Google, alleging that one of the world's most-recognized brands violated the state's Consumer Protection Act (CPA). Thus far, attempts to reach Google for comment have been futile. However, another legal expert familiar with the case has offered his perspective.
Attorney Braden Perry - a partner at the Kennyhertz Perry of Kansas City, Missouri and former federal prosecutor Braden - told Legal Newsline that the move by Hood is "indicative of some of Hood's critics that he runs the AG (office) like a plaintiff's attorney, looking for deep pockets. In fact, it has been reported that outside lawyers brought the student privacy issue to Hood based on his earlier Google publicity."

Analysis of the extracts of male ants of Monomorium minimum and Monomorium ebeninum by GC-MS and GC-FTIR revealed the presence of tyramides 2 and 4c, for which the structures were established by comparison with synthetic samples. These compounds and their analogues 1 and 3 were also found in males of other Monomorium species, males of Myrmicaria opaciventris, and males of several Solenopsis (Diplorhoptrum) species. Vapor-phase FTIR spectra revealed critically important structural clues to two of the tyramides, which had methyl branching in the tyramide acyl moiety. Tyramide 4c exhibited a strong intramolecular amide NH hydrogen bond where an α-keto group was deduced to be present in the acyl moiety and also showed the overlap of this ketone group frecquency with that of the amide vc-o The biological function of these compounds is uncertain; however, their role in ant-mating behavior may be suggested by a large body of evidence. © 2010 American Chemical Society and American Society of Pharmacognosy.
News Article | February 16, 2017
Site: www.24-7pressrelease.com
LA JOLLA, CA, February 16, 2017-- Alexander Butterfield has been included in Marquis Who's Who since 1969. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.Celebrating a career that has spanned just short of 70 years, Mr. Butterfield is highly regarded for his substantial contributions to both military tactical aviation and civil aviation safety. Further, and importantly, he is widely respected for his personal integrity and the example he set in the maintenance of high ethical standards during the tumultuous years of the "Watergate" political scandal (in 1973 and '74).After two years at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and a short stint in the Naval Air Reserve, Mr. Butterfield joined the U.S. Air Force as an aviation cadet in 1948 and became a rated pilot and commissioned Second Lieutenant on September 30, 1949. Preferring single engine fighter aircraft to larger, less maneuverable planes, he felt fortunate to be assigned initially to Las Vegas, Nevada, the home of the Air Force's fighter-gunnery training program. For two years he instructed there in both P-51 and F-80 aircraft, then was transferred to the 86th Fighter Group in occupied West Germany. Because NATO air power was beginning to expand, Mr. Butterfield (then a First Lieutenant) was tasked immediately with early planning for a full-scale air-to-air and air-to-ground fighter-gunnery training program for all U.S. Air Force tactical units in Central Europe . . . to be modeled similarly to the Air Force's Nevada program in which he had just recently served. Throughout the next 30 months, he renovated and brought up to USAF standards two long-dormant German ground gunnery ranges, wrote and disseminated to arriving squadrons a monthly fighter-gunnery newsletter, authored the first official Twelfth Air Force and U.S. Air Force, Europe "Fighter-Gunnery Training Manual," and spent several months in Tripoli, Libya, helping standardize procedures and techniques at the Air Force's aerial-gunnery encampment already underway. Simultaneously, Mr. Butterfield flew the right wing and deputy lead positions on the "Skyblazers," (America's only formation jet aerobatic team in Europe throughout the 1950's) and was a member of the six-man fighter-gunnery team that won the European Championship in 1954. After subsequent assignments as Operations Officer of an interceptor squadron, instructor at the new USAF Academy at Colorado Springs, senior aide to legendary General Emmett (Rosy) O'Donnell, Commander-in-Chief of Pacific Air Forces, and as Squadron Commander of a large tactical reconnaissance squadron in Japan, Mr. Butterfield found himself one of very few officers fortunate enough to have achieved, over the years, combat-ready status in all four categories of tactical military aviation: air-to-air; air-to-ground; all-weather intercept; and photographic reconnaissance. By 1964 he had flown 98 combat sorties in Southeast Asia, been awarded a Distinguished Flying Cross, Bronze Star and four Air Medals, and devised, in coordination with a Navy friend (Capt. M. M. Casey), Air Officer aboard the USS Kitty Hawk stationed off the South Vietnam coast, an emergency air-to-air refueling plan that operated flawlessly and might well have saved a number of reconnaissance aircraft on long return flights back to Saigon. He was a military parachutist by then, a Command Pilot with some 5,000 hours in fighter-type aircraft . . . and in his "military occupational specialty" (MOS), Tactical Fighter Operations, he had formed some strong opinions: (1) there should be more safety "consciousness" during training phases and fewer pointless rules issued, seemingly, in the guise of safety; (2) aggressiveness should be encouraged throughout all post-training flight operations. In short, pilots should know and be so familiar with the full range of their aircraft's capabilities that in the normal course of day-to-day flying they take advantage of those capabilities more or less intuitively. (On his final departure from Saigon, as if to make a statement, he led four RF-101 "Voodoos," in a formation take-off, high-speed climb, non-stop flight to Okinawa; and though having by-passed the mandatory fuel stop in the Philippines, landed safely with fuel to spare).Assignments and years came and went before Mr. Butterfield became associated with the civil side of aviation: special air warfare policy planner in the Pentagon; Military Assistant for White House Matters in the Immediate Office of the Secretary of Defense; promotion to Colonel while a student at the National War College; and Senior U.S. Military Officer and Commander-in-Chief Pacific Representative to the Government of the Commonwealth of Australia. Throughout the Australian duty, because the Australians had ordered from the United States twelve new swing-wing F-111 fighter-bombers, Colonel Butterfield, having flown and become familiar with the new aircraft and its unique capabilities, quite apart from his other duties, served as project and liaison officer with the Minister of Defense and the Royal Australian Air Force. After a decision in January 1969 to accept the offer of a presidential appointment by President-Elect Nixon, and the receipt of a Legion of Merit award from his immediate superior, Commander in Chief of the Pacific Command, Admiral John McCain, Colonel Butterfield left Canberra for Washington, D.C., where he was retired from active duty. On January 21, 1969, he was sworn in as Deputy Assistant to the President with duty as Deputy White House Chief of Staff and prime responsibility for the operation of the Oval Office and the smooth running of the President's official day. After serving in that capacity for four years, and additionally as Secretary to the Cabinet for the last three, Mr. Butterfield asked to leave the White House. In December 1972, he was nominated to serve as Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration and in March 1973 was unanimously confirmed by the Senate. With certain preconceived notions about the FAA, Mr. Butterfield sought to dampen the often defensive stance taken by the agency when confronted by public or media criticism, or by Transportation Safety Board recommendations. In fact, in his efforts to emphasize aviation safety, he ordered a thorough "second review" of all Transportation Safety Board recommendations received during the past five years. He also tried mightily to restructure the cumbersome, world-wide organization to reflect a greater emphasis on both air safety and survivability, and a new recognition that the nation's airports, as integral components of the national civil aviation system, require more regulatory attention; but resistance by the Department of Transportation (FAA's parent) was often overwhelming. He did initiate a series of highly successful "listening sessions" which gave all civil aviation constituencies an opportunity to convey constructive complaints and ideas directly to FAA senior managers; and he was widely applauded when in late 1973 he made compliance with all safety-related directives by the FAA immediately mandatory. By his own admission, Mr. Butterfield felt that his tenure at the helm of the FAA could have been more productive, and might have been had he not been injected by unforeseen circumstances into the chaos that was "Watergate." It was shortly after he arrived at the FAA that a member of the national media urged the Senate Select Committee investigating campaign finance and other activities to call Mr. Butterfield as a witness. The media representative knew what few others outside the White House knew -- that Mr. Butterfield was the sole deputy to White House Chief of Staff, Bob Haldeman. The plea was ignored at first, but eventually approved, and under questioning by the Senate (Watergate) Committee staff on Friday, July 13, 1973, Mr. Butterfield revealed that President Nixon had a secret taping system in the Oval Office and at several other White House locations. This information was confirmed the following Monday, July 16, before the full Committee, and was explosive. It was precisely the evidence needed to prove that the President had been aware of the White House cover-up of illegal activities all along, and that John Dean, the former Counsel to the President, had been telling the truth when a few weeks earlier he had accused the President of complicity. Mr. Butterfield who had complied with the President's order to surreptitiously install the White House listening devices back in early 1971 and who, for obvious reasons, had not wanted to testify, was put in a rather untenable position. He was confident, however, that if the subject of listening devices came up -- and there was no reason then to believe that it might -- he would be forthright and tell the truth, but only if the query were put to him (by his own interpretation) clearly and directly. After four hours of grilling, the precise question was asked, and there was no ambiguity. Though he had been aware of White House skullduggery, he was still a Nixon loyalist and it wounded him deeply to have to be the one to reveal what had been a well-kept presidential secret for more than two years. He said to the Committee, "I'm sorry you asked that question. Yes, there were listening devices. It was a fairly elaborate system." It seemed that the national log-jam had broken. Then, a year later - July 2, 1974 - Mr. Butterfield, still at the FAA, was called as the first of eight witnesses to come before the House Judiciary Committee during its deliberations of the President's impeachment. Time had passed and Mr. Butterfield had seen and been affected by, among other events, the number of friends -- young bright and well-meaning -- who were facing prison sentences and in some cases divorce. He later wrote, "They had simply been ensnared by the glitter and deceit of the presidency. Mr. Nixon, himself had exploited their loyalty." With a new and different mind-set, his 10-hour, closed door testimony was more damaging than not, and again he was seen by hardcore, but dwindling, numbers of Nixon friends as an "outsider." Mr. Butterfield resigned on March 31, 1975 after 26 years of federal service.To support his career, Mr. Butterfield earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Political Science from University of Maryland, a Master of Science degree in International Affairs from George Washington University and a Master of Arts degree in American History from the University of California. In the past, Mr. Butterfield was a member of the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History and, for six years, a presidentially-appointed member of the National Armed Forces Museum Advisory Board of the Smithsonian Institution. He was also a member in 1968 of a military-scientific expedition to the South Pole, chairman of Chancellor's Associates at the University of California, San Diego, a 38-year member of the Bel-Air County Club and a director of both Aloha Airlines and the International Flight Safety Foundation. Along the way, Mr. Butterfield contributed articles to the Journal of American History and to Harpers and other national magazines. Today, although retired, he remains active through his memberships in the Air Force Association, the Tailhook Association, the Thunderbird Alumni Association, the American Film Institute, the Screen Actors Guild and the University Club of San Diego. Most recently, he was selected for inclusion into other Who's Who publications: Who's Who in American Politics, Who's Who in Science, Who's Who in Engineering, Who's Who in the West and Who's Who in the World. In addition to his professional work, Mr. Butterfield is a prominent civic leader in the San Diego area, serving currently as a member of the Board of Directors of Dr. Seuss Enterprises, L.P., Vice-President of the Dr. Seuss Foundation, and as Chairman of the Institute for Brain and Society. And each year, in March, he lectures on "The Modern American Presidency" at several institutions in the United Kingdom, among them Warwick University in Coventry, the Rothermere American Institute at Oxford University, University College London and the British Library in London. Divorced in 1985, Mr. Butterfield lives alone in La Jolla, California and remains close to his former wife, their three children, eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.About Marquis Who's Who :Since 1899, when A.

We summarise the history and currently understood distribution of White-cheeked Tody-Tyrant Poecilotriccus albifacies and provide documentation regarding two records of the species from Acre, Brazil. These records, one of which refers to a male found and photographed by the authors, and the other of which involved a pair collected in 1998, are the first documented records for Brazil. In discussing these records, we examine the association between P. albifacies and bamboo-dominated habitats, and reassess the likely status of the species in Brazil. © British Ornithologists' Club 2010.

We present new records that augment, confirm or document our knowledge of the avifauna of the Araguaia Valley in central Brazil, including various first records for the states of Goiás (e.g. Mississippi Kite Ictinia mississippiensis, Sanderling Calidris alba, Fasciated Antshrike Cymbilaimus lineatus, Bobolink Dolichonyx oryzivorus), Mato Grosso (Dwarf Tinamou Taoniscus nanus, Scarlet-throated Tanager Compsothraupis lorkata), Pará (C. lorciata) and Tocantins (e.g., Yellow-billed Cuckoo Coccyzus americanus, Pale-rumped Swift Chaetura egregia). We also report the first records for the state of Amazonas of Rusty-collared Seedeater Sporophila collaris and White-browed Blackbird Sturnella superciliaris. Other records improve our knowledge of the distribution of principally Amazonian species in the Cerrado biome or that of comparatively widespread species whose ranges have been consistently under-estimated in the standard literature on Neotropical birds, e.g., Whistling Heron Syrigma sibilatrix and Saffron Finch Sicalis flaveola. Our field work has also improved knowledge of the distribution and current status of certain Near Threatened (e.g., Chestnut-bellied Guan Penelope ochrogaster and Rufous-rumped Seedeater Sporophila hypochroma) and globally threatened species (e.g. two Sporophila seedeaters, and Kaempfer's Woodpecker Celeus obrieni). Additionally, we comment on the natural history and taxonomy of some poorly known species, e.g. Riverside Tyrant Knipolegus orenocensis xinguensis and Cone-billed Tanager Conothraupis mesoleuca. © 2015 The Authors.

Without adequate knowledge of species distributions and life-history characteristics it is impossible to undertake robust analyses to answer even basic biogeographical questions or undertake evidence-based conservation planning. We present a follow-up to the first avifaunal inventory from Alta Floresta, Mato Grosso, Brazil (Zimmer et al. 1997) following an additional 17 years of field work. We add 124 species to the regional list and clarify the status of others. Many of the species reported here are poorly known, therefore we present data on their status and distribution, both at Alta Floresta and other Amazonian localities. © 2013 British Ornithologists' Club.

Zimmer et al. (2001) documented two morphological and vocal forms within what was then known as Suiriri suiriri affinis, and described the short-billed form as Suiriri islerorum. However, studies of the Burmeister type material held at the Natural History Collections of the Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg, Germany, revealed the types of Suiriri s. affinis (Burmeister, 1856) to be the same taxon as Suiriri islerorum, which name therefore becomes a junior synonym. No published name is available for the long-billed form. A new name is therefore introduced by an original description in accordance with the International code on zoological nomenclature. The original type material of S. s. bahiae (Berlepsch, 1893) is confirmed to be lost; a neotype is designated. © Copyright 2014 Magnolia Press.

Examples of phenotypic convergence in plumage coloration have been reported in a wide diversity of avian taxonomic groups, yet the underlying evolutionary mechanisms driving this phenomenon have received little scientific inquiry. We document a striking new case of plumage convergence in the Helmeted Woodpecker (Dryocopus galeatus) and explore the possibility of visual mimicry among Atlantic Forest woodpeckers. Our multilocus phylogenetic analyses unequivocally place D. galeatus within Celeus, indicating that the former has subsequently converged in appearance upon the distantly related and syntopic Dryocopus lineatus, to which it bears a remarkable resemblance in plumage coloration and pattern. Although details of the Helmeted Woodpecker's ecology and natural history are only now beginning to emerge, its smaller size and submissive behavior are consistent with predictions derived from evolutionary game-theory models and the hypothesis of interspecific social-dominance mimicry (ISDM). Moreover, estimates of avian visual acuity suggest that size-related mimetic deception is plausible at distances ecologically relevant to Celeus and Dryocopus foraging behavior. In light of our results, we recommend taxonomic transfer of D. galeatus to Celeus and emphasize the need for detailed behavioral studies that examine the social costs and benefits of plumage convergence to explicitly test for ISDM and other forms of mimicry in these Atlantic Forest woodpecker communities. Future field studies examining potential cases of competitive mimicry should also take into account the mimic's acoustic behavior, particularly in the presence of putative model species and other heterospecific competitors, as any discontinuity between morphological and behavioral mimicry would likely preclude the possibility of deception. © 2015 American Ornithologists' Union.

Lahore, June 4 (UNI) The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has appointed former skipper Rashid Latif as wicketkeeping coach for three years to develop and improve young keepers in the domestic circuit.
''My objective is to transfer my knowledge in grooming and preparing young wicketkeepers and lift the overall standard of the keepers in the domestic circuit,'' Latif said.
''My job is to make the wicketkeepers a strong department for the country,'' he added.
Currently working as Head of sports in the Port Qasim Authority, Latif was first picked in the national side on the strength of his batting. Latif kept wickets in all his outings.
He is second on Pakistan's list of ODI dismissals - with 220 from 166 matches, while Moin Khan has 287 from 219 games.
Latif, who conducted training camps for the current generation top class wicketkeepers like Kamran Akmal was of view that keeping is a tough job and a player who wants to become a good keeper should be physically fit.
The wicketkeeper-batsman has also trained the Pakistan Under-16 side that toured West Indies.
''Wicketkeeping is a difficult job,'' Latif said. ''A mentally and physically tough and slim player can be a good wicketkeeper.'' UNI XC RKM AB RN1650

which brands offer a nice drop spreader.....scotts isnt holding up anymore!
these are great spreaders.....have a look
Lesco/John Deere Landscapes has a very high quality drop spreader. It's commercial grade and built to last.
the lesco drop is actually the gandy that was linked in the second post but comes with air tires now
gotta get a gandy!
Several golf courses use the Gandy for greens and tee boxes because they are quality.

Planning is in full swing for our trip to the USA in 2012. I have started to organise the first few sales of our "stuff". One pink GHD hair straightener (which nearly started a riot on facebook!) and one Homedics massage cushion down, 395 million bits of other junk to go!!
$1300 saved so far plus some cash from the sales. I plan to put a little savings graph on here once I work out how so everyone can see how we are going in the cashola department! Will help to keep me away from restaurants and movies too!! I sure am missing the movies but I've really been too busy to go anyway.
Several items marked off the To-Do list this week. Bought Brittney's formal dress, Kate has an appointment with school re distance education and have started to attack the photo albums. Baby steps, baby steps.

Tom Albanese: China for now, India for the future
Rio Tinto boss Tom Albanese was in London last night talking to Bank of America Merrill Lynch execs and others about Rio's global opportunities.
The short of it was that Rio is well positioned for growth, and naturally that raised no eyebrows. What may have raised at least one eyebrow and a smile on analysts and brokers faces was that Mr Albanese specifically outline that despite China being a good customer now, he see's India as the growth country of the future.

I do love a narrative in music videos. When I watch the vast majority of them, I'm struck by the fact that the directors have lost a perfectly good opportunity to make a three-and-a-half minute short film with inbuilt soundtrack. With that in mind, I present Savin' Me, by Nickelback. It's not hard to hassle Nickelback for a variety of reasons, but no matter what you think of the song, the video – the weird little story of what happens to a man after his life is saved by a stranger – is a great little piece, and a fun watch.

Ideal not just for adults, but also for teens aged 13 and up.
The end of the world? That's the stuff of Hollywood blockbusters and deep philosophical exercises in school. No need to sweat it. So when sixteen-year-old Tess's doomsday-dad builds a bomb shelter in their suburban backyard, everyone thinks he's gone crazy….
…Until fire rains down from the sky, sinking whole cities into colossal craters and setting much of the world ablaze.
Tess's dad gives her a few short minutes to gather her emergency bag and her freaked-out kitten, then leads her outside and into the underground shelter. Terrified, the last thing she expects is for him to leave her there all alone, but he has no choice—he must find her missing brother.
Before leaving, he makes Tess promise to keep the hatch door shut, not to open it for anyone but him, and to stay put until he returns.
But he forgot to tell her one thing: What is she supposed to do if he never comes back?
"But what are we without dreams?"
A thousand years ago the Darkness came—a terrible time of violence, fear, and social collapse when technology ran rampant. But the vicars of the Temple of Light brought peace, ushering in an era of blessed simplicity. For ten centuries they have kept the madness at bay with "temple magic," and by eliminating forever the rush of progress that nearly caused the destruction of everything.
Childhood friends, Orah and Nathaniel, have always lived in the tiny village of Little Pond, longing for more from life but unwilling to challenge the rigid status quo. When their friend Thomas returns from the Temple after his "teaching"—the secret coming-of-age ritual that binds young men and women eternally to the Light—they barely recognize the broken and brooding young man the boy has become. Then when Orah is summoned as well, Nathaniel follows in a foolhardy attempt to save her.
In the prisons of Temple City, they discover a terrible secret that launches the three on a journey to find the forbidden keep, placing their lives in jeopardy, for a truth from the past awaits that threatens the foundation of the Temple. If they reveal that truth, they might once again release the potential of their people.
Yet they would also incur the Temple's wrath as it is written: "If there comes among you a prophet saying, 'Let us return to the darkness,' you shall stone him, because he has sought to thrust you away from the Light."
With much of the world still undiscovered, a small band of people live a peaceful life, until the dream vision of a young boy, Feather Floating In Water, changes everything. Only nine winters old, Feather's dreams turn his seemingly ordinary childhood into the journey of a lifetime. He must help his people face a terrifying destiny from which they cannot turn away. He must find a way to make his people listen.
Bright Sun Flower, the boy's grandmother, guides his beginnings, teaching him about the Circle of Life, and how without it, no life can exist. But he needs a bigger push, and gets it from a grey wolf and a Great Elder. The boy's journey leads him to discover that the Circle of Life involves all people, all living things, and not just the world he knows.
In the end, an ancient People guide the boy in his visions, toward an unexpected place hidden from outsiders.
This story is steeped in American Indian life, in their beliefs and humor, and in their love of family. It shows how we might benefit from the old ways today.
After centuries of religiously motivated war, the world has been split in two. Now the Blessed Lands are ruled by pure faith, while in the Republic, reason is the guiding light—two different realms, kept apart and at peace by a treaty and an ocean.
Children of the Republic, Helena and Jason were inseparable in their youth, until fate sent them down different paths. Grief and duty sidetracked Helena's plans, and Jason came to detest the hollowness of his ambitions.
These two damaged souls are reunited when a tiny boat from the Blessed Lands crashes onto the rocks near Helena's home after an impossible journey across the forbidden ocean. On board is a single passenger, a nine-year-old girl named Kailani, who calls herself "The Daughter of the Sea and the Sky." A new and perilous purpose binds Jason and Helena together again, as they vow to protect the lost innocent from the wrath of the authorities, no matter the risk to their future and freedom.
But is the mysterious child simply a troubled little girl longing to return home? Or is she a powerful prophet sent to unravel the fabric of a godless Republic, as the outlaw leader of an illegal religious sect would have them believe? Whatever the answer, it will change them all forever… and perhaps their world as well.

Davey dubs himself the luckiest crow in the entire world when he finds a wonderful, shiny object. It even has a fantastic name: "paperclip." Wow!
One dark and dreary day, Davey's treasure goes missing, and he is beside himself with grief. Luckily, he knows just how he can find out which of the forest animals is to blame for the theft. Inspired by the torn pages of a Sherlock Holmes story that were used to fashion his nest, Davey calls on the help of Sarah the sparrow to investigate the mystery and, hopefully, retrieve his prize.
Together the two birds begin to collect clues. Their trail leads them straight to Mr. Bushtail, a greedy squirrel who keeps a giant store of objects in a hollowed-out tree trunk. When Mr. Bushtail refuses to cooperate, the two birds have no choice but to break into his tree house in search of the truth.
Justice will prevail and treasure will be found in this intriguing tale of mystery.

Vanesa Neuman is the daughter of Holocaust survivors, and her childhood in the cramped intimacy of south Tel Aviv is shadowed by her parents' unspoken wartime experiences.

Set against the backdrop of the Nazi occupation and the Jewish Museum of Prague—Adolf Eichmann's "Museum of an Extinct Race"—Galerie is fast-paced historical fiction in the tradition of Tatiana De Rosnay's Sarah's Key. From Jerusalem's Yad V'Shem Holocaust research center, to the backstreets of Prague, and into the former "paradise ghetto" of Theresienstadt, Vanesa's journey of understanding will reveal a darker family past than she ever imagined—a secret kept alive for over half a century.

Trace Monroe doesn't believe in luck. He never has. But when a fiery-headed cowgirl saunters through the saloon doors, wielding shotguns and a know-how for killing the living dead, he believes he just may be the luckiest man alive.
Trace wants to join "Red's" posse, but she prefers to work alone—less messy that way. In order to become her traveling companion, Trace has to agree to her terms: no names, no questions, and if he gets bit, he can't beg for mercy when she severs his brain stem. He agrees, knowing only that Red is the sharpest shooter he's ever encountered. The fact she's stunning hasn't escaped his attention either.
What he doesn't know, is that Red has a very good reason to be on top of her game. She not only has the answer for how they can all outlive the plague taking over the wild, wild west, she is the answer.
Lies. Betrayal. Destiny. A choice that changes everything.
My name is Juliet Wildfire Stone, and I am special. I see visions and hear voices, and I have no idea what they mean.
When someone murders medicine men in my sleepy Arizona town, I can't help but worry my crazy grandfather is involved. He's a medicine man and more than a just a little eccentric. He likes to tell me stories about the Great Wind Spirit and Coyote, but none of it makes any sense. I thought I knew the truth, but in order to clear his name I dive into his alien world and uncover an ancient secret society formed over two hundred years ago to keep me safe—me! And I can't help but to start to wonder whether there's some truth to those old stories my grandfather has been telling me.
I just want to be an average sixteen-year-old girl, but apparently I've never been average. Could never be average. I didn't know it before, but I'm a Chosen, and those voices I've been hearing… well, they're not just "voices." I've started to develop abilities, but they might not be enough. A powerful entity called a Seeker is hunting me and he's close—really close.
I thought I knew the answers but truth is, I don't. Betrayed by those I love, I must choose to run or risk everything in order to fulfill my destiny. I hope I make the right choice. Don't you?

The Art of BMW
Did you know that the people who love BMW also love art? It's true. They even have a collection of "art" cars to prove it. They asked various famous artists to design the cars. Artists like Andy Warhol painted these gems and now these vehicles are on display in the BMW Museum. They even get to travel around the world in various shows. This program has been in place since 1975 when BMW commissioned 17 artists to paint and design some of their racing cars.
The first car to be designed was the 1975 3.0 CSL painted by Alexander Calder. Frank Stella designed the 3.0 CSL in 1976, and Roy Lichtenstein designed the 320ii in 1977. The next car wouldn't be commissioned until 1979. The artist responsible for this car (BMW M1) was Andy Warhol. Ernst Fuchs would be the first artist to design a car in the 1980's. He designed the 635C SI in 1982. The next 635C SI would be designed by R. Rauschenberg in 1986. 1989 was a special year as two cars were painted by artists. Two M3's by Ken Done and MJ Nelson.
1990 kept the tradition of two cars being designed. The 535i by Matazo Kayama and the 730i by Cesar Manrique. The last year that two cars would be commissioned to be designed was 1991. AR Penck painted the Z1 and Esther Mahlangu designed the 525i. In 1992, Sandro Chia painted the 3 Series racecar. 1995 brought forth the funky car (BMW 850C SI) designed by David Hockney followed by the V12 LMR designed by Jenny Holzer in 1999.
The next car wouldn't be designed until 2007. This car, the H2R was designed by Olafur Eliasson. Robin Rhode was next in line as an artist to design the BMW Z4 in 2009. The last "art" car to be designed was in 2010. This car was designed by Jeff Koons and was the very colorful M3 GT2. Who knows when the next art car will be designed in the 2000 era, and who will be the lucky artist to be selected.

4) Make Emotion-Based Arguments: Don't get me wrong: both liberals and conservatives make emotion-based arguments. However, it may be 25% of what conservatives do, while it makes up 98% of liberalism. What so many conservatives don't seem to get is that as a general rule, a powerful emotional argument will usually beat a sound, logical argument. Put another way, you can be right and still lose. It happens all the time. So while conservatives shouldn't discard logic-based arguments, we need to work much harder to tie in emotions. This isn't actually all that hard. Ask yourself whom a program benefits or hurts and explain it in emotional terms. "You support Affirmative Action? Oh, so you believe black Americans are inferior to whites and need a hand up to compete with them? That's disgusting." "You think we should turn a blind eye to illegal immigration? Why do you want to put American workers out of jobs?" "Dry and sciencey" may appeal to think tank wonks and "Big L" Libertarians, but it isn't ultimately going to be enough to move the American people our way.

Emotional Reason
2 comments:
What is unfortunate at this time is the assumption that reason and emotion are necessarily... EXCLUSIVE.ReplyDelete
This is a wide spread belief, unfortunately...
After considerable.. reflexion, I have come to the conclusion that our greatest problem at this time in our civilization is our incapacity to put things TOGETHER, in the both/and way, and not the.. either/or.
@Debra- Well, if the recent neurological research is any indication, conscious emotion and conscious reason are simultaneously exclusive because the brain cannot handle conscious multi-tasking (at best, the brain can only rapidly switch focus from conscious effort to conscious effort, but it never truly consciously multi-tasks). However, one can generally use reason and emotion when talking about a given subject. And one should make all efforts to do so when the subject is sufficiently important, like theology or philosophy.ReplyDelete

Great for the PriceIf you are looking for tablecloths for a special event these are fantastic and very affordable. I wouldn't recommend them if you intend to reuse them over and over but for a few time uses they are great.

Very dark Navy colorThese worked perfectly for my client's wedding. The Navy color is darker than other linen company's tablecloths we sampled.
The dark navy is excellent when paired with a light color and will work great for our Red, White and Blue July 4th celebrations.

GreatThese are for my nieces wedding, I was very happy with them. The fabric is thick and durable. Your Linen Tablecloths were much cheaper to buy than it was to rent!
Posted on
Great ServiceI had ordered some tablecloths from another website. After not receiving my package, I contacted the company and they were then "sold out" of half of the items I wanted. Since I still needed my tablecloths, I stumbled upon linentablecloth.com and haven't looked elsewhere since. I've not purchased two orders from this website. The quality of the tablecloths is much higher than the other website, and the tablecloths didn't really need any work upon receipt unlike the others that needed pressing. I am super impressed with this website and their quality of work!
Posted on
Cheaper than renting!We couldn't believe how affordable it was to get these for our wedding. We were about to rent tablecloths when I saw these prices. This way I can resell them after we're done! They're fantastic quality and a beautiful color. Definitely a smart buy :)

Great DealThank you Linen Tablecoth for a great product at a great deal. Cyber Monday saved me even more PLUS free shipping!

Great Service & Excellent Quality !!I purchased 5 - 90in round navy tablecloths & 10 - 70 inch square navy tablecloths for my daughter's wedding reception. I was amazed at how quick they were delivered (2 days). The color is a true navy & the quality is excellent. I will definitely recommend this site to others. The purchase price was much cheaper than rental prices in my area. Thank you linentablecloth.com!!

ExcellentI purchased these tablecloths to use at my wedding. At first I was unsure if they would be good quality because the price was so great. Once they arrived I was impressed. The color is a true navy. the material feels very durable, and and the stitching is great. For me, it was cheaper to buy linens for my wedding than it was to rent and I'm so very glad I stumbled across Linen Tablecloth!

Pauly Shore & Friends Trailer (2009)
20 November 2009 60 mins
Pauly Shore's name conjures images of Bio-Dome and Encino Man, but there's more to his laid-back persona than meets the eye. Raised by the owners of Sunset Strip's renowned comedy landmark, "The Comedy Store," Pauly Shore takes the audience through his unique past. Can you imagine having Sam Kinison as your baby sitter? How about Andrew Dice Clay dating your sister? Several of Shore's friends round out the show: Iliza Shlesinger ("Last Comic Standing" winner); Steve Rannazzisi ("The League"), 'Comedy Store' legend (and Sam Kinison's best friend) Carl LaBove, and of course Pauly's best friend and father Sammy Shore who takes full responsibility for introducing Pauly to comedy.

Jones - Ireland spoilt at No 10
Wales fly-half Stephen Jones has entered Ireland's fly-half debate and argues they are spoilt for choice in the number 10 department.
By Elliot Ball
Last Updated: 01/03/11 6:53pm
Wales fly-half Stephen Jones has entered Ireland's fly-half debate and argues they are spoilt for choice in the number 10 department.
Ronan O'Gara is poised to retain the fly-half jersey for the RBS 6 Nations clash with Wales on Saturday week after his man-of-the-match performance against Scotland last time out.
But Johnathan Sexton is breathing hard down O'Gara's neck for the chief kicking role after being handed the role in Ireland's opening two 6 Nation matches and being a fixture of the autumn internationals.
And Lions veteran Jones, who is embroiled in his own battle to don the number 10 shirt for the Millennium Stadium clash, believes the competition for places can only help Ireland's cause.
Top drawer
"I know what Ronan can do," said the 33-year-old Scarlets performer. "He's a great kicker, kicks the ball out of hand very well and marshals the team well.
"He's got good competition from Sexton, there's a good balance between the two of them.
"The coaches have gone with Sexton of late but O'Gara did very well when he got the opportunity against Scotland.
"They're both great players, but have different styles. It's great for Irish rugby to have horses for courses like that.
"I played against Sexton at provincial level. He compliments the centres very well and of course the Leinster centres are the Ireland centres.
"They have a lot of good moves and he's very sharp in the way he plays.
"Ronan marshals a game more than Jonny, who likes to keep the ball in hand.
"The bottom line is they're both very good payers, but they have contrasting styles.
"Playing with Gordon D'Arcy and Brian O'Driscoll for Leinster week in, week out definitely helps Sexton.
"But Ronan's last few performances for Ireland have been top drawer."

Although the possibility of infection is very low it is possible to contract the disease through contact with cattle or badgers, meaning country dwellers may be at risk.
Researchers writing in the British Medical Association journal Thorax cite a case in which a veterinary nurse, her young daughter and dog all tested positive for bovine TB.
The 42-year-old worked with animals in Cornwall, where TB is common in cattle, and had suffered with a chesty cough for a month before diagnosis.
Her pet dog then developed a similar persistent cough four months later, and was found to have the same strain of bovine TB.
As part of routine procedures, household members were also tested for TB. Only the woman's 12-year-old daughter tested positive although she did not have any symptoms.
One of the report authors, Dr Dinesh Shrikrishna from the Department of Respiratory Medicine at the Royal Cornwall Hospital, said: "This form of TB infection remains a serious animal health problem in the UK, despite long-standing statutory surveillance and control measures."
But the authors emphasised that their case reports should not cause undue alarm.
The number of cases of TB infection identified in cattle since the mid 1980s has increased, and the infection is increasingly being spread between livestock by the badger population. However, bovine TB infections account for less than 1 per cent of laboratory confirmed cases of TB in people.
TB infection in animals can be passed on to people through breathing in airborne infectious droplets, drinking unpasteurised milk, or, more rarely, contact with broken skin.
The authors point out that these cases indicate that bovine TB is not a disease of the past, as has been suggested, and that it poses a "low, but ongoing, public health risk."
Doctors, vets, and public health officials need to remain vigilant for signs of this "often forgotten infection," they warn.
A spokesman for the Health Protection Agency said: "The risk of humans contracting TB from farm animals, pets and wildlife is very low.
"When we are notified of a case of TB we seek to identify a source of infection, if possible, and take any measures to identify those at risk in order to minimise the risk of further cases.
"Bovine TB, like any other strain of TB, is treatable with a six month course of antibiotics which must be completed in order for the treatment to be effective."

Increasing market efficiency in the stock markets
We study the temporal evolutions of three stock markets; Standard and Poor's 500 index, Nikkei 225 Stock Average, and the Korea Composite Stock Price Index. We observe that the probability density function of the log-return has a fat tail but the tail index has been increasing continuously in recent years. We have also found that the variance of the autocorrelation function, the scaling exponent of the standard deviation, and the statistical complexity decrease, but that the entropy density increases as time goes over time. We introduce a modified microscopic spin model and simulate the model to confirm such increasing and decreasing tendencies in statistical quantities. These findings indicate that these three stock markets are becoming more efficient. Copyright EDP Sciences/Società Italiana di Fisica/Springer-Verlag 2008

Is Guernsey a separate country
Report Abuse
Wiki:Guernsey is a possession of the British Crown in right of Guernsey in the English Channel, off the coast of Normandy. As a bailiwick, Guernsey embraces not only all ten parishes on the island of Guernsey, but also the islands of Alderney and Sark – each with its own parliament – and the smaller islands of Herm, Jethou and Lihou. Although its defense is the responsibility of the United Kingdom,[3] the Bailiwick is not part of the United Kingdom but rather a possession of the British Crown. It lies within the Common Travel Area of the British Isles and is not a member of the European Union, but has a special relationship with it, being treated as part of the European Community for the purposes of free trade in goods. Together, the Bailiwick of Guernsey and Bailiwick of Jersey form the geographical grouping known as the Channel Islands.

Guernsey is not a separate country but a Crown Dependency for tax evasion and money laundering purposes. It is in a currency union with the UK so the currency is sterling.

For all practical purposes it is internally self-governing, unless and until it starts doing something that seriously embarrasses the Westminster government internationally, at which point various sorts of diplomatic pressure will politely read the Riot Act behind the scenes- as I think has been done over the worst financial shenanigans. Whether you call that a separate country is up to you.

The whole population of Alderney (after a vote) was evacuated before the Germans got there, the majority of the people ended up in a camp in Poole. The majority of the people moved to Alderney by the Germans were Russian prisoners of war who worked and were unfed until they died.
On the other Islands the population voted to remain, Jews were rounded up and went to concentration camps, political trouble makers were also sent and very few made it back.
Whenever people complain about what the French did under occupation I just remember what we did under similar pressures.

Now this is true "for tax evasion and money laundering purposes" a bit like Delaware.

Well, I know it is separate enough to have it's own set of financial disclosure laws.
Many years ago I regularly visited Guernsey to visit my estranged wife and my children. On one of my trips I called in at a Barrister's office to enquire about a Guernsey registered company which had apparently scammed a friend of mine. I was amazed to see that the walls of the entire office were covered by small brass plaques about half the size of a business card. There were literally thousands of them! Each of those represented a company or corporation that had registered in the "country" in order to take advantage of their regulations that assured privacy and non-disclosure.
I of course got no joy from their office, but found the police chief much more forthcoming. He detailed a long list of immoral and illegal (not illegal in Guernsey, of course) transactions of the firm that had come to his attention. He said my friend had not a hope in hell of getting his money back, and there was nothing he, the cop, could do.
Can anyone tell me if Guernsey is still a tax haven/hide your money sort of place?

In reference to Tower's item above:
Nantucket has never been a sovereign nation, but it was once part of New York. It seceded late in the 17th century, retaining certain rights when it joined Massachusetts, including the control of its own fisheries and Great Ponds. In the last century, when Massachusetts environmental authorities tried to stop the opening of fresh water ponds to the ocean (it improves the fishing), the Supreme Judicial Court held that they had no authority to do so under the original 17th century agreement. Pfui on Boston.
In 1976, intoxicated by the Bicentennial, a group of Nantucketers led by my next door neighbor, David Worth, proposed Town Meeting articles to call a referendum to decide whether Nantucket -- already both Town and County -- should secede from Massachusetts and become a state on the grounds that though Commonwealth officials were egregiously ignorant about our island, it did not stop them from trying to manage our affairs.
Alas, it didn't happen.

As a Brit I am happier about doing business with companies "in Guernsey" than I was in the past due to more serious diligence from Westminster but I am still careful. From my point of view I would look at the Isle of Man as more trustworthy than Guernsey or Jersey with Delaware lower down the list and Caymen even further down before I hit rock bottom in Cyprus and anything with the word Dutch in it.
In a previous life I used to sell large industrial products to some dodgy places and we employed "a spook" to "manage" the risk which involved everyone from the Carlisle group and the Iranian National Guard both of which we treated with some concern.
Delaware and Cyprus was always a Red tag.

A friend is the nephew of the now deceased 'Dame of Sark' ( grandmother I think of the current 'Seignuer' ). He told us that it was a possession of the Queen that was was ruled by the Dame/Signuer as long as they kept pirates off the island.

IMD just generally, my spook and I considered tax dodging was an indicator of the criminally minded and so should be put on par with Russians hiding their money on Cyprus. We more normally traded with American companies based in other states.
In the event the use of bank guarantees made all non European/US (exc Del) contracts pretty tight wherever the deals were done, our only issues where when companies got hoity-toity which was a good indicator they had a cash crisis. Many a time a Russian/Scottsman/Brazilian etc would "try it on" and we just advised them that we were stopping work until they felt it was time to get back to contract. Trumps re-negotiation concepts would have gotten him nowhere

"Paramedics were wonderful"

Posted by visitor31 (as ),
My husband was taken ill whilst we were on holiday in Gloucestershire – he could not walk. I called 999 - the paramedics who attended to him were wonderful. Karen Clark and Geoff Wood were very professional and caring and took him to Cheltenham Hospital where he was treated with painkillers for a disc problem.
The paramedics even came to see how he was whilst we were in A&E and they were bringing in another patient!

Thank you taking the time to share your experience. I hope your husband is feeling much better now.
It is always rewarding to hear that our staff are continuing to provide excellent care to our patients when they need us most.
I shall pass your kind comments on to Karen and Geoff who I am sure will really appreciate your feedback.

Our Top 2 Volunteers stop by for a visit
My folks stopped by Hood River on their way to Yuma, AZ. The last time they were here was in September and they built the second fish tank.
Since then the lights have been put up, we updated the electrical system, the fish tank pump was added, the on-demand water heater was added, we got fish, built a few more beds, added the rubber liner, imported pumice from Chemult, OR, survived our first winter……
They'll be back again in 2 months on thier way back home to Vancouver, BC. I have a feeling they will be wow'ed by how much is growing when they return.
Bruce Bolme- The Gorge's Best Friend
Bruce is a powerhouse! The Re-Build-It Center, RiverHOURS and the Unitarian Church are just a few of the hours his volunteer efforts go. I am lucky to call him a friend, and Ryan is happy to call him a fellow engineering mind!
Ryan and Bruce have been collaborating on projects at the greenhouse and their having a blast. This morning Bruce called by to check in on us- what a lovely way to kick off the week.
Thanks Bruce! See you again, anytime, soon!
Robin Cunningham & Elise
Robin's chipper voice is contagious. It turns out she and I both have a thing for researching greenhouse growing systems, particularly on YouTube (I've added a few of my favorites on our FaceBook page and we'll be adding some of our own soon too).
Robin is planning to come back and help us re-pot seedlings… I can't wait to learn from her how to graft tomatoes and more!
Enchanting Alpaca Owners
Rick & Carol Thayer came by for a visit on Monday. I've known and loved Carol for years since we met because of Enchanted Alpaca and PoCards. Carol has been my spunkiest cheerleader these past two years while developing Casa Verde.
Carol has been threatening to build her own greenhouse up in Glenwood, WA and I hope coming by to see what we have done was inspiring. Her and Rick had a shiitake & maitake mushroom farm in Camus years ago and both Ryan & I were grateful for the info and inspiration because that'll be started at Casa Verde sometime this year.

We love visitors at Casa Verde. Come visit us anytime. Again and again.
These days a lot changes from day to day. New projects are being started. And hopefully a few are being completed and you can check in on how they are progressing.
Bring the Kids!
There isn't any formal learning program here but we invite kids and parents to come and be inspired. We will be looking into a few kid friendly activities in the future so if you have any suggestions please let us know.

BALTIMORE -- Josh Beckett remains on course to start for the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday, although manager Terry Francona won't be overly disappointed if the right-hander gets pushed back again.
Beckett's next start was moved from Saturday to Tuesday after he developed a sore right elbow that created numbness in his hand.
Francona described the soreness as a "crick" in the pitcher's elbow that developed when he slept on it overnight.
"You wake up and have some inflammation. That's basically what it is," Francona said Wednesday. "Not an aneurysm or a clot."
Beckett was originally scheduled to pitch Saturday against Toronto. Instead, he's tentatively set to start Tuesday night when the Red Sox play New York at Yankee Stadium. But Francona said if that day comes and Beckett's elbow is still sore, he could be moved back again.
"If he's not ready, we won't pitch him. We'll back him up another couple days," Francona said. "That's the way it goes. I don't think that is going to happen, but if it did, we would back him up and I told him that.
"We'll pitch him when he's ready to pitch and not because his day comes up."
Beckett probably won't throw on the side until Friday, though Francona said the right-hander was "begging" to pitch now.
"The point is that Beckett is really wanting to throw, and that's always a good sign," Francona said.
In other injury news, outfielder J.D. Drew was held out of the starting lineup for a third straight game Wednesday with a stiff back. But Francona expected him to play in the weekend series against the Blue Jays.
Also, knuckleballer Tim Wakefield (shoulder tightness) threw on the side Tuesday and was scheduled for another session Wednesday.
"I would not rule him out for New York," Francona said, referring to an Aug. 26-28 series, "but the one thing we don't want to do is rush him back."
