Pope attacks compared to anti-Semitism
From vancouversun.com:
Attacks on Pope Benedict and the Catholic Church over a sexual abuse scandal are comparable to the most shameful anti-Semitism, the pontiff's personal preacher told a Vatican Good Friday service.
Father Raniero Cantalamessa, a Franciscan whose title is Preacher of the Pontifical Household, drew the parallel during a Passion of the Lord service in St. Peter's Basilica on the day Christians commemorate the death of Jesus by crucifixion.

Distinguished value investor Mario Gabelli, CEO and chief investment officer of GAMCO, was on Kudlow Report CNBC discussing the U.S. economy, his investment approach, economic data points to consider and his top stock picks at this point.
-- Are we out of woods in terms of the economy. He is a stock investor and not an economist and believes in bottom-up fundamental analysis to pick his stocks.
-- Top economic indicators he is looking at: Data related to consumer and housing is improving, production is good, autos will flatten going forward after having a big run and consumer net worth has improved which will be good for the economy.
-- His top picks: He is looking at aging of people, aging of infrastructure. He likes Navistar (NAV), Whole Foods Market (WFM), Boeing (BA), Campbell Soup (CPB), BEAM and Kraft's spin-off.

a. There shall be no balls hit or thrown in live-ball territory.
b. The home team and then the visiting team shall deliver their respective lineup
cards, in duplicate, to the plate umpire. The umpire shall then permit inspection by both captains/coaches. The substitution regulations as in Rule 3 are then in effect.
c. Ground rules, as in 4-1-3, shall be announced.
d. Umpires shall ask head coaches to verify that their players are legally and properly equipped and shall remind participants about proper sporting behavior.
a. The field should be clearly marked. Markings should include flags on foul poles along the foul lines past first base and third base and vertical foul-line markings on any wall that limits the outfield.
b. When a fair or foul fly lands near a stand or fence, Rule 7-4-11 applies. If there is a screen behind the catcher or any permanent obstruction in front of the stands, a batted ball that goes behind these becomes dead. It is recommended that no such obstruction be less than 25 feet from the diamond.
c. Wild pitches, overthrows and batted balls that go over or through a fence or into a dugout are governed by Rule 8-4-3; if the field has unusual obstructions, ground rules should attempt to be similar to this rule.
d. For special field conditions, such as a drain pipe that makes a spot where it is impossible or very difficult for a fielder to retrieve the ball, the ball should become dead if it goes to that spot, and each runner's advance should be limited to two bases.
e. For an unfenced field, a chalk or imaginary out-of-bounds line should be established to define live-ball area. If cars are parked along the out-of-play lines, umpires should consider these the same as bleachers and the ball becomes dead if it bounces into the line of cars. The umpires should anticipate such a situation and announce the ground rule in advance.
When you arrive at the site
With your partner
a. Knob. The knob may be molded, lathed, welded or permanently fastened. Devices, attachments or wrappings are permitted except those that cause the knob to become flush with the handle. A one-piece rubber knob and bat grip combination is illegal.
b. Handle/Grip. The bat handle is the area of the bat that begins at, but does not include the knob and ends where the taper begins to increase in diameter. The handle shall have a round or oval cross-section. The grip shall extend a minimum of 10 inches, but not more than 15 inches, from the small end of the bat. A safety grip shall be made of cork, tape (no smooth, plastic tape) or composition material (commercially manufactured). Resin, pine tar or spray substances to enhance the hold are permitted on the grip only.
c. Taper. The taper is the transition area which connects the narrower handle to the wider barrel portion of the bat. The taper shall have a smooth, solid surface and shall have a conical shape. Its length and material may vary.
d. Barrel. The barrel is the area intended for contact with the pitch; it shall be round and smooth.
e. End Cap. The end cap is made of rubber, vinyl, plastic or other approved material. It shall be firmly secured and permanently affixed to the end of the bat so that it cannot be removed by anyone other than the manufacturer, without damaging or destroying it. A one-piece construction bat will not have an end cap
Plate Conference
a. five full innings have been played; or if the home team has scored an equal or greater number of runs in four or four and a fraction turns at bat than the visiting team has scored in five turns.
b. play has gone beyond five full innings and is called when the teams have not had an equal number of completed turns at bat. The score shall be the same as it was at the end of the last completed inning; unless the home team, in its half of the incomplete inning, scores a run (or runs) which equals or exceeds the opponent's score, in which case, the final score shall be as recorded when the game is called.
A game shall be forfeited to the offended team by the umpire when a team:

g. cannot provide 8 players (F.P.), 9 players (S.P.) or 10 players (S.P. if an EP is used) in the batting order to finish the game. An out is called in that spot of the batting order (7-4-1).

Totuaba and Rock Point or Rocky Point
Puerto Penasco Travel Blog› entry 1 of 1 › view all entries
The Totuaba thrived in the deep, rocky waters of the Sea of Cortez, and thus, the Totuaba fish became very great in number. The most economic, and efficient way of fishing the Totuaba was through a hook and line instead of the more costly method of drag fishing. The ideal places to fish Totuaba were near the mouth of the Colorado River.
The first settlers used the caves and natural refuges among the rocks of the "Whale Hill" (now the Old Port area of Puerto Peñasco). They pick Whale Hill overChoya Hill because Whale Hill had a natural estuary next to it which meant calm waters that were ripe for fishing, and provided protection for the fishermen's fragile boats. In the 1970's this estuary was dragged and it became the refuge for the modern shrimp fishing fleet that is so well known by Penasco today. Little by little, cardboard and wooden houses were built on the north east side of the Whale Hill.
Back then shrimp was not yet appreciated as a part of Rocky Point as much as it is today, so it was fishing the Totuaba that made it possible for Rocky Point to be what it was, and is, a precious rock set between the desert and the Sea of Cortez.
To be continued...
It's all in the soil you stand on...
Love starts through your feet...
One of the most deeply rooted qualities in man is the love for the place where our home stands. The love for being part of our home starts at birth and continues throughout our lives. Part of being human means we love the world around us, we especially love the ground and the soil it holds. It is through our feet that , we connect with the composition of that soil. We even know how it tastes; we know what kind of bacterial flora it has, we have carried it with us wherever we go, it is in all of our system. It's that early contact with nature that gives us the sense of belonging to an area and lets us develop a relationship with that area, a relationship which is hard to break.
The accurate, swift response from the Federal Health Department and the following through of it's recommendations to the local tourist services has stopped the spread of the now-called "H1N1" flu. Rocky Point has not yet reported one case of this disease since it's beginning in March 2009. The local health department has made sure to be ready to provide immediate help to any person, local or visitor, holding symptoms of any type of flu.
4th of July weekend reports show Puerto Vallarta as only a 53% occupancy, Cancun, which depends on eastern American and European visitors, as a 61% rate. We had 70% hotel occupancy and about 71% of time-shares occupied. Studies show that there is more than ten times less crime in Rocky Point than Phoenix, Arizona. So keep supporting us and enjoy your stay!

Power from above.1 Kings 18.
What can you say about this remarkable story
I could give my opinion but thats not what I want to say
To have such faith such force meant a close walk the spirit of a prophet
Lets not pretend who hasnt dreamt of being a prophet
Ive been very close Ive felt the power Ive sort the wonder of it all
I believe I was offered double the power like Elisha received
When Elijah and Elisha saw the chariots and horses of fire
And Elijah
A strange story …
Can you see.
My Wife and I went to visit a relative … He was living with others in basement rooms underground … He seemed quite happy talking about his job and money he was winning … I looked in his eye it was covered with a dull white translucent skin … He was blind but talked as if he could see … A lady sat in a chair and said they liked the light that shone in … Through the window into the room …
Acts 23.
Words ... Be careful how we use ... listen to the sound.
The Jews didn't recognise the Spirit of God as the Holy Spirit spoke through Paul ... He called their leader a whited wall not really wanting to say that at all ... I chose two video's today and I noticed straight away on the second one how we should not judge people at all ... One person was blind one was rather large but when they opened their mouths what a beautiful sound ... There two partners stood their

I am in the middle of a city with no money left
I have two packs of my medical essential daily vitamin and mineral drink to last two days
Know thats what l call justifying myself
If I have two today as I should Ill have none tomorrow
Do you not think I can supply your needs tomorrow
Little did I know the story I would listen too
The beginning of Elijah in Kings
So I will drink my two drinks today and trust for a supply
Acts 22.
Man has a plan
Jesus has a plan.
No man can change Jesus s plan for a man
That sounds a bit final for a man not to have freedom as we all can
To be an Apostle meant Paul was a special man chosen to carry out a very special plan
Could he have failed if he said I cannot carry on with this special plan
He was able to make a man blind for a while he raised a man who was dead
He was bitten by a snake that would have killed a normal man
He was committed

There has been a trend among aspiring indie-rockers of using rainbow colors to signal youthful optimism and blissful psychedelic confusion. So maybe to the uninitiated (who is uninitiated at this point?) the cover of Spoon's new album might look like something synthy, fun and perky. But the moment you dive into the multi-chrome skull, you realize oh right, you're listening to the kings of lean, sinewy pop-rock. Any of the high-school theater antics of their younger descendants are stripped off with paint thinner and chased away by Britt Daniel and his bone-dry voice.
Hot Thoughts is a well-thought out album with a few new ingredients to differentiate it from previous albums and place it perfectly into the band's evolution. Produced by indie-rock legend Dave Fridmann, described by MOJO Magazine as "The Phil Spector of the alt-rock era", Fridmann produced the band's previous album, They Want My Soul, elements of which are all over Hot Thoughts. There are moments where Daniel's voice sounds positively gentle in a way that I can't remember ever hearing.
The album is structured so that there are songs that I might call "classic" Spoon songs woven around a few real outliers. The title track starts off the album with a stinky, almost ugly disco feel, pretty consistent with the direction Spoon had been taking. A little bit more keyboards than had been typical through the middle of the band's career, but the same gritty, sneering vocal style and aggressive, minimal guitar.
But the second track, "WhisperI'lllistentohearit", introduces a slightly different version of Britt Daniel and Jim Eno, with a lead vocal that's comparatively soaked in delay and drums that sound live and wild, less like the gated, tight drums of They Want My Soul. For that album, they took inspiration in part from Dr. Dre's 2001, and for this one it sounds more like they've taken some cues from Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska and Born In The USA. There's a moment in the middle of "WhisperI'lllistentohearit" where Daniel's voice takes on a breathy falsetto in a brand new way.
The alternation holds true through the album, with the strange, ethereal "Pink Up" as one of my surprise favorites. With a long, quiet introduction and a slew of reversed vocals in the middle, it sounds very un-Spoon in its composition even though the attitude (and even the hard-to-understand title) is vintage Spoon.
Spoon doesn't need to reinvent pop music, and they don't really want to. But they will never deny that they want to succeed. That's what's driven them through label disputes and lineup changes and moves across the country. For this album, it feels like Spoon took what was rightfully theirs with a massive subliminal marketing campaign around single "Can I Sit Next To You", which they placed as background music for Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert's shows as well as boarding music for American Airlines, which I think is possibly more incredible than any of the music on the album. But, again, for Spoon, that isn't an insult.
Spoon is firmly in their stride right now, taking small liberties while simultaneously digging deeper into their now 25-year old groove. Britt Daniel sings on Hot Thoughts, "I took time off of my kingdom," and it seems tongue in-cheek, but I think Daniel knows that he has a kingdom, and it is on this album that he shows he is in complete control. The vacation is over.
Catch Spoon on a massive 6-month world tour wherever you are.

Japan said Thursday it has ordered importers to report all shipments of pork, poultry and eggs from Germany amid growing concerns over its dioxin scare.
Japan's health and welfare ministry has received information from German authorities noting that they ordered the slaughter of chickens and pigs suspected of being contaminated with dioxin, a ministry official said.
"Based on the information, we have instructed importers to report whether shipments are related to the case, whenever they import pork, poultry and chicken eggs as well as their processed products," the official said.
"We have also asked quarantine stations to report all shipments of the products from Germany, but we have not imposed any ban on them," the official added.
Germany's dioxin problems deepened Wednesday as China banned pork and egg imports and it emerged that tainted meat may be in circulation.

Gangplank is a very fearsome pirate indeed, especially after the buff he got in the recent patch. The most notable buff he got was to his Grog Soaked Blade. Stacking it to 5 to get the most out of it requires getting up close and personal, however, and many guides build Gangplank way too squishy to do that safely. The goal with this build is therefore to make him tanky enough to be able to take some punishment without folding like wet paper and still packing enough of a punch to be able to 2/3-shot squishies when fed.
The most important skill you will need to pull this off with any kind of consistency is good last-hitting, especially with Parrrley. If you are good at this you should always be a monster all game, every game.
Let's begin! YARRRRRRRRRRR!!!
ArPen marks and quints, health/lvl seals and flat CDR glyphs are my runes of choice. If you want you can replace the marks with %crit ones, but since not many champs benefit from such runes compared to ArPen it's more convenient to just run ArPen. For seals and glyphs, you could use flat or scaling armor and magic resistance if you prefer. Flat will give you a significant advantage in the early laning phase and scaling ones will make you a bit more tanky late-game.
Greater Mark of DesolationGreater Mark of Desolation
Greater Seal of VitalityGreater Seal of Vitality
Greater Glyph of Focus
Greater Quintessence of DesolationGreater Quintessence of Desolation
Other choices:
Greater Mark of Malice
Greater Seal of Resilience
Greater Glyph of Warding
23/6/1, a strange setup it may seem at first, but when you look at it it actually makes sense. The defensive masteries make you a bit more durable, especially in the beginning. 23 points in offense lets you pick up all the bits you need, most notably 10% crit dmg, 6 ArPen and 4% increased damage. The point in ghost would of course be moved if you use some other summoner spell.
Start with Meki Pendant and two Health Potions for that crucial mana regeneration that lets you use Parrrley almost anytime you want. Then buy boots and rush your Infinity Edge. If you farmed well with Parrrley you will have it early and the surprise damage when you crit will give you many kills. After that buy a Cloak of Agility that you will later build into an Atma's Impaler, but hold off on doing that until you have built a Frozen Mallet. It will give you a hefty slow on your Parrrley that will allow you to get in melee range and apply more slow with your Grog Soaked Blade. Now build your Atma's Impaler, it will give you a good amount of crit, armour and damage aswell since you have the hp from Frozen Mallet. Now that you have armour you need magic resist - Banshee's Veil. An added bonus is that the health from Banshee's Veil also gives you more damage since you have Atma's Impaler. If you are facing a team rich in magic users you will need to buy Banshee's earlier. By now the game should be over but if it isn't you should finish the build off with Phantom Dancer.
Skill Sequence
The skill sequence is pretty straight forward. Max Parrrley first, take a single point in Remove Scurvy and max Raise Morale second, taking Cannon Barrage whenever you can. If you are getting harassed hard you might want to consider taking one or two more points in Remove Scurvy for the additional heal.
Summoner Spells
I prefer to use
Exhaust, but any of the following are viable:
Additional Information
Red Buff: Gangplank is probably one of the champions that can make the most out of the red buff, at least until he gets Frozen Mallet, at which point it gets a bit redundant.
Making good use of Cannon Barrage: Gangplank's Cannon Barrage can be used for escaping, chasing, helping out teammates, saving towers and killing escapees. In short, it is extremely versatily and useful. Good map awareness is crucial for every champion, but even more so for those with global ults. So always keep an eye on the minimap if you want to make the most out of Gangplank.

Slade delight as O's leave it late
Leyton Orient boss Russell Slade was full of praise for on-loan goalkeeper Eldin Jakupovic following their 2-1 win over Colchester.
Last Updated: 01/03/14 8:33pm
Leyton Orient boss Russell Slade was full of praise for on-loan goalkeeper Eldin Jakupovic following their 2-1 win over Colchester.
Orient had started the day at the top of League One but the visitors dictated play for much of the game despite falling a goal behind when David Mooney notched his 16th league goal of the season.
Substitute Marcus Bean struck the deserved equaliser when he headed home from close range with 10 minutes remaining but, three minutes later, Moses Odubajo restored the home side's lead after collecting a pass from Shaun Batt.
It proved enough to collect all three points but the O's surrendered their lead at the summit as Wolves took over on goal difference.
Slade said: "For the neutral it was a cracking second half and fair play to Colchester because they massively played their part. Eldin had to make some wonderful saves in the second half to keep us in the game.
"I thought we were a threat on the counter-attack and, as it happens, we scored a wonderful goal which won the football match.
"Moses has done brilliantly well to score after Shaun Batt has poked the ball through to him and Mo's used that pace he's got and put the ball into the bottom corner.
"I have to say I thought we were worth our one-nil lead at half-time but in the second half Colchester put us under pressure for 20 to 25 minutes and they were trying to get the ball into the box and making life difficult for us.
"Perhaps we needed to show a little more composure on the turnover of the ball because if we did then there were lots of areas for us to hit on the counter-attack.
"But we keep going. We've got two away games now and we need to take that attitude and the quality we have in the final third, being ruthless, on the road with us."

Washington Dc, MD (PressExposure) June 05, 2009 -- It may be easy to make a website, but not all websites are successful in conveying their information and/ or reaching their target market. Here are the general factors that are considered to ensure a successful website:
1. Content âUseful and compelling web site content must be provided to your target readers and customers through the website. Website content must be tailored according to their target market. Content writers must be able to guarantee that the objectives of the website are properly conveyed and pertinent information would be aptly provided. Content is king!
2. Design â Good content is wasted if the site is designed poorly. Potential customers may arrive at the website but may not continue to read the actual content if turned off with the visual design of the site. Just like what a competent San Diego web design company would do, the web designers must ensure that the website would be easy to navigate, has the appropriate graphics, color schemes, font styles, and font sizes which are pleasing to the eye, etc. A San Diego web design company would be able to incorporate all these in order to come up with a website visually suitable to your readers.
3. Visibility â Each website have their own niche and the challenge is to be able to be one of the top results when searching for content related to your niche. It is a battle of which site would be included in the top results of search engine queries. Websites which appear at the top results get more mileage. The more visible the site is at these top results, the more visitors would arrive at the site, thus having the higher probability of reaching out to the target market. These may ultimately lead to higher sales and profit.
Search engine optimization is a continuous process and must be managed well in order to produce positive results. Hiring a Professional SEO company in order to optimize your siteâs visibility may prove to be a wise decision. The goal is to rank high in search engine results using keywords that is very much pertinent to the siteâs content. There are many ways on how to do this which SEO companies know expertly.
Considering all these factors and adequately incorporating them when building your website would indeed pave the way to its success.

The last time that MLB used the words "lifetime ban" it was referring to Pete Rose. Here we are 24 years later and it's looking like Rose is going to have some company in baseball's "Hall of Hell."
Despite a few similarities, the two case are built on entirely different sins.
In 1989 Rose was canned for rapid gambling on and against the Cincinnati Reds, whom Rose managed from 1984-89. There are many debate topics in baseball and one of the biggest is whether or not Rose deserves a spot in the National Baseball Hall of Fame. If I had a vote I would be penciling in Rose's name each and every year because of how hard the 17-time All-Star played the game.
Moving on, Alex Rodriguez is the player that could make Rose look like a saint. A-Rod has admitted to using performance enhancing drugs in the past, but the third baseman could be facing a lifetime ban from MLB for his latest involvement in the Biogenesis scandal. When Ryan Braun got suspended for 65 games on Monday, many baseball fans called it the calm before the storm. Considering the amount of evidence MLB claims they have on A-Rod, it could easily throw Rodriguez out of the game forever and make Braun's suspension look tame.
It wouldn't be America if we didn't have a fair trial, yet MLB commissioner Bug Selig has talked a tough game this entire time and you know he would want nothing more than for A-Rod to vanish right off of the diamond.

MUD [2013] movie review – recommended
August 2, 2013 · Print This Article
I am sure MUD [2013] will be on my top ten list of 2013 movies. I had not even heard of the movie before today, but I am sure I will be thinking about it for days. This is a thoughtful and observant drama about two young Arkansas boys who find a boat high up in a tree on a small island, and also a mysterious stranger who asks them for help.
Writer & director Jeff Nichols is two for two in my book with MUD his latest effort and the 2011 film TAKE SHELTER. He has a well established style of making a contemplative movie experience. MUD is told I believe entirely from the perspective of two 14-year old boys, Ellis and his best friend Neckbone. I think Nichols did what Spielberg did in E.T., kept the camera at the eye level of the boys so we see the world from their view, with adults being taller, etc.
Neckbone heard from a friend about a boat that got caught up high in a tree after a flood on a small island in the middle of a large river. The boys find it and want to make it their own, only they find a man already has. Matthew McConaughey tells the boys they can call him Mud. As another character later says, the boys think Mud is a badass, but who is he really? If anything, he is honest always giving the boys direct answers when they ask why he has a gun, why the police are looking for him, and why is he waiting on this small island.
It is easy to see why the boys would go on errands for Mud on the mainland helping him repair the tree-stuck boat. Neither boy has a good home situation. I really felt great seeing these boys still have an analog adventure filled childhood in these times. They spend their days outside exploring, and once given tasks by Mud, there is no end to their enthusiasm for this secret, child wonder-like summer.
Yet amidst all this you get the feeling this is not going to end well. Mud has loved a girl, Juniper, since she saved him from a snake bite when he was just a kid. Theirs is a tragic relationship, but the story of their love is the real reason Ellis is so willing to help Mud. Ellis really wants to believe in love. It is a very touching character arc watching Ellis grow up and learn lessons from his parents, from Mud, and from his own firsthand experience with getting a girlfriend.
MUD develops very slowly growing deeper and deeper into the characters, a fine storytelling method. The ending was satisfying, though I thought pulled a punch slightly, but still, for the tone of the movie, the ending allows for hope for the future. MUD is highly recommended.

Nature makes waves. Man makes surf. And pretty damn good surf, too. Granted, not deliberately. In fact, with almost no exception, any attempt man has made to design and produce rideable surf has met with lamentable failure. And yet the coastlines of the world are littered with breaks that without man's helping hand–man's uncaring and often destructive hand–would otherwise not exist. His piers, jetties, channels, groins, break walls and dredge-tailing sandbars have come to define some of surfing's most traditional landscapes, providing as merely an engineering by-product waves that in many cases rival the best that nature itself has to offer. Actually competing with nature in shaping both the world's shorelines and the collective dreams of surfers everywhere who, for the most part, rarely stop to think about how much of the surf they ride is really man-made. Don't believe it? Then think again. If you live and surf anywhere in Southern California–especially south of Point Conception–you probably surf man-made waves most of the time. East Coast surfers? Virtually all the rideable waves south of the Carolinas have been produced by some sort of intrusive coastal development. And paradise? A number of Hawaii's most popular breaks wouldn't exist had not the tropical coral reef been altered in ways no kahuna would ever have condoned.
The irony, of course, is that for decades surfers have dreamed of making their own waves, the fantasy manifested in an enduring preoccupation with what has come to be known as "the artificial reef." As far back as 1968, in a SURFER magazine article penned by big wave ace and oceanographer Rick Grigg, the alluring prospect of being able to create our own waves was being touted as surfing's last hope.
"Grigg is going full-out to save surfing and surfers from extinction in a bumper-to-bumper, swarming world," read the feature's strident intro, in classic, late-60s style. "His plan for artificial reefs is a positive move that stands a good chance of acceptance by the Department of Parks and Recreation, and could reverse the trend of surf spot elimination into surf spot development."
Meanwhile echelons of men in hard shoes and thin ties led the assault on our coastlines, dreaming not of perfect, peeling waves, but of breakwalls that protect expensive beachfront property, jetties that trap littoral sand flow for commercially viable beaches and of vast harbors in which fleets of the elite might park their yachts. Funny thing is, while in the 36 years since Grigg went "full-on" in his efforts to save surfing, not a single functioning artificial reef has been constructed in the continental United States, while the list of inadvertently created waves reads like a Surf Report guide to the West and East Coasts. If you're like the rest of us, chances are you've probably surfed at one of these man-made breaks: Humboldt Jetties, Fort Point, Sharp Park Pier, Princeton Jetties, Santa Cruz Harbormouth, Moss Landing, Cayucos Pier, Morro Rock, South Jetty, Pismo Pier, Sandspit, Oil Piers, Ventura Dredge, Hollywood-by-the-Sea, POP Pier, Venice Jetties, Hammerland, Manhattan Beach Pier, Hermosa Beach Pier, Redondo Breakwall, Seal Beach, Huntington Beach Pier, River Jetties, all of Newport Beach, Wedge, San Clemente Pier, Del Mar Jetties, Oceanside Jetties, Oceanside Pier, Warm Water Jetty, , Ponto, Scripps Pier, South Mission Jetty, Ocean Beach Pier, Imperial Beach Pier, Sandy Hook, Sea Girt, Manasquan Inlet, Bay Head, Casino Pier, Seaside Heights, States Avenue, Ventnor Pier, Margate Pier, Ocean City, all of Virginia Beach, all of Cape Hatteras, Jacksonville Beach, Ormand Beach Pier, Ponce Inlet, Cocoa Beach, Canaveral Pier, Sebastian Inlet, Palm Beach Jetties, South Beach, Galveston Jetties, J.B. Luby Pier, Bob Hall Pier, Fish Pass, South Padre Island. As a footnote add Ala Moana and Kaisers in Hawaii and you get a picture of a surfing world that, when it comes to artificial waves, hasn't had to settle merely for Typhoon Lagoon.
"You'd have to consider these waves happy accidents," says Chad Nelson, an environmental director at the Surfrider Foundation. "But because the waves that have resulted from this inadvertent development have worked doesn't necessarily mean that it's been a good thing. Look at the thousands of coastal development projects that haven't produced good waves."

getty operators
A quick learner from Kingman, Arizona says:
February 7, 2016
Dave Sr. from SWISCO responded:
February 9, 2016
I do think these could work as replacement operators for the old Getty. However, the bearing you show at the end of your operator arm appears to have a nylon collar around the metal bearing. You might need to replace the track because of this. Look at our 39-501 and 39-504 to start, though we have others that might fit your window. Also make sure to check the diameter of your bearing and compare it to the bearing at the end of the 39-044 and 39-045. Ours is 9/16"

UAE singer Ahlam was totes disappointed with MBC Egypt this Ramadan [2], and she went public with her opinion. "The Queen", as her fans endearingly call the diva, Tweeted her disdain on her official page with a dissatisfied comment while watching the drama "Saraya Abdeen". Egyptian actress Yusra and Syrian actor Qusai Khouly star in the MBC Egypt show that got Ahlam's panties in a wod.
According to Laha Magazine, Ahlam opposed the exaggerated number of TV commercials that keep interfering with the dramas, stressing that its length is much longer than the drama itself.
Ahlam wrote, "MBC Egypt, with regards to the TV commercials we see during the airing of the drama "Saraya Abdeen", we want to see the drama in peace, and you keep disturbing us with the long commercials throughout the drama, Whyyyyyyyy".
Complainer she may be, but Ahlam only had praise for the show's lead actress. She complemented Yusra on her role [3], describing her as exquisite and a real master of acting.

- STEP 4 Bottle and store for 2 weeks before using.
Use the empty vinegar bottle for storing sauce. If allspice is unavailable, can substitute mixed spice. I use 4 - 6 chillies for mild taste but others use 9 - 12 - depends on how hot you like it. If I can't get to shop for plum jam, I use my rosella or jaboticaba jam instead Sauce gets better as it ages. I make 8 litres at a time - keeps well.

I made ½ quantity as a trial and will certainly make another batch as the result was a full flavoured sauce that packs just enough punch to lift it above store brought varieties. I did thicken the sauce so as to not lose half my sauce off the food, but still pourable consistency. All I can say is yum yum!
REVIEWER: maggie1945
I did not have the treacle so had to use golden syrup but everything else in the recipe was used but only have made half of the recipe for a trial run. Looking forward to using it when it matures and may make double quantity next time around. As mentioned it is much nicer than the bought one. Thanks for the recipe!

REVIEWER: Sallee.T.
I made this sauce and gave it to friends and family for Christmas. They are now returning empty bottles asking for more. We are also enjoying it. I used twelve chillies, and found it has the tang bought sauce used to have. Also I left out the salt, as a family member who loves black sauce cannot have salt. You can't notice there is no salt. Looks as though I will have to make some more. It is very cheap to make, and improves the longer it is kept.
REVIEWER: cookin4two
I made this sauce just over 2 weeks ago and have been eagerly waiting to try it. This is a great sauce, very pleased with the end result. The only problem I encountered was not having a big enough pot to make the full amount so had to settle for halving the recipe. Will add more chillies next time just for a bit more of a bite. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Babysitter: You know, I clocked the mileage yesterday down to the fence and back to the house.
K: How far?
Babysitter: ONE POINT ONE MILES!!!!!
K: On a tricycle.
Babysitter: (still shocked) He rode ONE POINT ONE MILES.
K: On a tricycle. And then we found out he had a 101.2 fever.
Babysitter: That was terrible.
K: And that was the second time he did it this week.
Babysitter: And he wants to do it again.
K: It's not like it's a flat road. There are hills, for heaven's sake. So how many revolutions do you think that is? It must be the equivalent to thousands and thousands. I mean, the pedals only go forward 2 inches. Don't they have those things that you clip on to your bike to tell you how many calories you have burned?
Babysitter: 1.1 miles.
K: I know. Welcome to my world.
I feel like we should have a "guess the number of revolutions" contest
Babysitter: You know, I clocked the mileage yesterday down to the fence and back to the house.

If you called me earlier and Walter Cronkite answered the phone, you should probably call me back
E: Mama, I talk on the phone to you.
K: Eat, I was downstairs making shirts. You were talking to me on the phone?
D: He was talking to somebody.
K: (incredulous that it clearly never crossed his mind to, I don't know, SEE WHO THE BOY WAS TALKING TO ON THE PHONE) Did you check to see who he was talking to?
D: Nah, by the time I got to him, he had moved on and was checking our voicemail messages.
K: So you think he was talking to someone but you don't know who it was?
D: Nope.
I didn't even ask how far The Boy got in the voicemail process. Because that may mean that I have to change the alarm code too. And I'm just not quite ready to do that because of my 2 year old. Go ahead and call me crazy.

I can understand how one would be confused about celebrating a birthday without cupcakes
E: Mama, today it's flag's birthday.
Uh, technically speaking, that was June 14th.
K: You told him it was the flag's birthday?
D: Yeah.
K: What happened to revolutions, taxation and excessive governmental interference? And I'm not talking about the sitting Congress.
D: I tried, but he wasn't following it very well.
E: Mom, I can't wait birt'day hats. I want birt'day hats for flag's birthday, Mama.
K: Eat, we don't have birthday hats for the flag's birthday.
E: Mama, I eat birt'day cake for flag's birt'day.
K: The kid told us which direction to turn to get home from the ice cream store last night. Don't you remember the "turn HERE" along with the, might I add, CORRECT motion for me to turn right? You really don't think he could have understood the Boston Tea Party?
D: I tried.
E: Mama, I LIKE birt'day hats birt'day party flag birt'day, Mama.
K: Eat, can flags wear birthday hats?
E: NNNOOOOO! But I can wear a birt'day hat, Mama.
One of the many reasons I am against any form of dishonesty in parenting.

So you are saying we should get a StairMaster
D: Can you see him?
K: Sort of. I can see his feet. Uh, now I can only see his shadow.
D: Can you see him now?
K: Nope, but I can see the door and that's his only way out.
D: Are you sure he is still there?
K: I can hear him banging around on the other side of the gumball machines.
Suddenly the nice young man busing tables across the room made a motion to us with his hand.
K: You should definitely go get him. That guy is pointing. Maybe he left.
D: You think?
As my husband climbed out of the booth and turned around to go retrieve our son from wherever he disappeared, The Boy suddenly reappeared before our very eyes.
He had scaled the two levels of gumball machines and was staring at us from the top of the highest machine. Five feet in the air.
Busboy: He sure is a good climber.
K: Even better than we thought….

Update: Potty Training, aka Signs that The Boy May One Day Enter a Nudist Colony
As seen on dictionary.com
training–v. tr.
- To coach in or accustom to a mode of behavior or performance.
- To make proficient with specialized instruction and practice. See Synonyms at teach.
- To prepare physically, as with a regimen: train athletes for track-and-field competition.
- To cause (a plant or one's hair) to take a desired course or shape, as by manipulating.
- To focus on or aim at (a goal, mark, or target); direct. See Synonyms at aim.
- To let drag behind; trail.
As, is the case in number 6, I find myself training.
So, after listening to all the advice, I decided to go with that new-fangled training method of taking your child's diaper off and hoping against all hope that you don't find puddles all over the house. I thought this was a good idea now rather than before moving because I now have 95% carpet as opposed to the 95% oh-so-easy-to-clean-hardwood floors at the old house. Let me say, it has been slightly disconcerting to the army of workers attempting to put Humpty Dumpty back together again over here at the Money Pit and now the neighbors are POSITIVE we are white trash sent to bring the 'hood down, but whatever.
Can I just say it's working like a charm? Except for the incident where he held it in for 3 hours until he could get onto the front porch to, and I quote "see the pee on the front porch, Mama." There was a couple of incidents of taking a dump in the yard ("EEEETHAN!!!! WHO GOES TO THE BATHROOM OUTSIDE???? E: Zinni, Mama…..see, Mama, I go poop") right by the driveway. I mean, I have 3.3312 acres now so it seems logical to poop DIRECTLY BESIDE THE DRIVEWAY.
Other than that, the only downside is that now I can't get clothes back on him.
If you feel like you just can't hear it in your hear it in your head, imagine "no" in lieu of "GOAL." That's about right.
"Oh, just put the clothes on him. You Parents These Days." That's what you are saying, right?
Come on over and show me how it's done. I gotta go. Naked Bike Rider is doing the laps in the house. Maybe I can head him off at the pass.

Dr Joseph L Kekeya (PhD)
The DWU's vision, mission and strategic plan are platforms and/or frameworks, on which the faculty's educational activities are constructed for human and societal development in PNG and the Pacific. The Faculty's Operational Plan has been reviewed to meet the current changes in education, and is guided by the DWU's key strategic objectives. The Faculty Operational Plan is also linked to the PNG National Government's policies and strategic plans, particularly the Vision 2050, and Medium Term Development Strategy (MTDS), with the aim of developing and delivering internationally bench-marked Education Programs.
The Faculty's Teacher Education Programs (Master of Educational Leadership, Post Graduate Diploma in Education, Post Graduate Certificate in Higher Education Teaching and Learning, Bachelor of Education (Primary In-service), Diploma in Teaching, and Diploma in School Leadership and Management, have been reviewed by international partners including Australian Catholic University (ACU). Also, the new Standard-Based Single PNG Primary Teacher Education Curriculum has been reviewed by international partners in its development stages. These Teacher Education programs are of International Standard.
The Faculty's Education Programs (EP) comprises of Full-time and Flexible Distance Teacher Education (FDTE) progarms, as well as Basic Education (Primary and Secondary) programs including Diploma, Bachelor, and Postgraduate studies, and Basic Primary and Secondary School Certificates, which are offered in amalgamated and affiliated campuses. The amalgamated (St Benedict-Wewak) and (Kabaleo- Rabaul), and affiliated (Holy Trinity Teachers College, Hagen, and Don Bosco Technical Institute), offer full-time undergraduate programs, while FDTE programs are facilitated in Madang, Wewak and Kabaleo campuses.

What is ? Self preservation? To progenate? To maintain status quo ?
What is motivation? Does purpose motivate? Or motivation defines purpose?
Work is never easy. If play is ones work, then even play will become harder. And that is why when you work, you earn. Earning is with deserving. You deserve , when you work. And when you earn a well deserved reward, it is satisfying.
That is the purpose. To earn. Fame, Fortune and respect. By hooks or by crooks. More by hooks and less by crooks may be, because purpose is long term. And Monuments do not get built on fickle foundations.
I work because I want? Or I want because I work? Does it matter?
Then what is purpose?
Is the purpose of one's existence is to want in life? from life? Is that the ultimate answer to the ultimate question?
Even if it is not, the philosophy works fine enough for young professionals. Or rather, workers. We want, so we work, and then demand. And then the cycle continues.
Job and Profession.
Posted November 20, 2009on:
Recently I saw a movie on Bindass Movies, which on a whole was a rubbish movie based on a person who is a sharp shooter in a gang who falls in love. But one thing which captured my attention was how this guy ( hero ) rises in the gang.
The hero, believes in his job, i.e. Killing People. But he believes himself to be a professional. He wants to work professionally. Initially on one of his assignment, his boss takes him for a deal where the boss threatens the counter party that if he keeps on blabbering, his guy (hero) would kill him (counter party). Obviously this was just a threat but the hero ( who is a professional ) kills the counter party as he keeps on blabbering and bullshitting them. The biggest mafia don of the city captures our hero and asks him why did he kill his man, he replies – he was an idiot and I am a professional. The Don is impressed and hires him, as the Don himself is a professional and has a professional team.
Overall it was a flop venture but it got me thinking. How many of us consider our job a 9 to 5 job and how many consider ourselves professional? Is there a difference? Does it matter? Does it MAKE a difference ?
Well I do not Know if it makes a difference or not, but I Feel that it does. Over last 4 and a half years of my career , I have met many people both personally and professionally and both inside my own organisation as well as outside. Not all people I have met have impressed me. Some came out as absolute losers, some looked to me in their mid-life crises but a few definitely were impressive. And as I interacted with These impressive people more and more, I realised that they were not doing their job as just the job. They were the professionals of their own field and their whole focus was always in finding solution to a problem which lied in their sphere of work. Because of their professionalist attitude, over the years this sphere of work changes into their expertise.
When some one considers his or her work just as a job, they create a boundary around job roles. Their immediate focus is always to get it over with. They don't would rather keep their hands clean then getting the solution, if it means stepping out of their boundary. They would also waste time in 'pleasing' people as it means less headaches.
But these same people are the people who complain about the proverbial 'rut'. Who find themselves stuck in the same place and are frustrated.
Professionals on the other hand Know what they are doing. At least , with their professional attitude they develop a skill and a mind-set which allow them to look at anything holistically and are more suitable to adapt as per the situation. They are 'nimble on their toes' and more often than not, these are the ones who get the top slot in the end.
Five Great Questions.
Posted May 21, 2009on:
Five great questions are Who, What, Where, How and Why.
No matter if you are a Left brained person or a right brained person, every situation or problem can be broken down in above 5 questions and once you have assembled 2 or 3 of the answers to them, the rest falls in place.
That was the easy part. The difficult part is , to decide the order in which you are going to solve these questions. This is the purpose of this post. As everyone knows the 5 great questions, but how many of us "Actually" use them constructively?
Its no use realising the problem and bifurcating it in parts if you get stuck on the wrong question! Now this is where basic conditioning comes and differs from person to person.
Most of us get stuck on Why. Why? Why would he do that? Why did Satyam board not see this? Why is market jumping guns? Why are you writing this blog?
This is the wrong question to get stuck on as this is the Most difficult of 5 great questions. One should always start on some easier ones. And when you have found answers to a few of them, then rest all falls in place.
For example, What? is a nice way to start with. Its generally straight forward and doesnt require opinions. What are you doing? – Reading this blog.
Though at first glance this post would look pointless, but this is my belief that 'approach' is very important for finish. Once you have made right approach, towards a destination or a problem, the result is easier to get. And the phrasing and sequencing of Who, What, Where, How and Why helps tremendously in keeping things in perspective which helps in solving any professional or personal problem.

The purpose of any advertising is to increase the visibility, to influence customers and convince them to buy a certain product. Without a proper brand recall, the advertising is a failure even if it was a brilliant piece of creativity. Similarly, a piece of trashy one liner would be a master stroke if it creates a instant visibility and attains a desirable and favorable position for the brand in the minds of consumers/customers. I recall the Tuff shoe ad campaign featuring of Milind Soman and Madhu Sapre. Even though I only read about the controversies in news papers and only saw sensored version of print ad in those news articles, I proudly wore my Tuff shoes in school ( Class 6 I think ). The point is , regardless of whether that particular campaign won a Cannes Lion, It was a brilliant campaign as it certainly boosted sales of a not an awesomely good product.
The genesis of this particular post is the recent "Jaago re " campaign by TATA Tea. I would call it a brilliant campaign and a successfull one at that and just to support that, the brand in question is visible even in this post without spending a penny for publishing on this particular web page!
Tata tea created a advertisement with the theme of election where in a group of students in typical short kurta attire so typical of students of languages and arts/history (almost every discipline but less common in science and commerce ) in modern indian colleges, invade a congregation of students enjoying life in corridors armed with cups full of Tata Tea and chanting slogans " Agar aap vote nahi de rahe hai, to aap so rahe hai.. " ( If you are not voting on election day, then you are sleeping, so drink this tea and wake up). (Jaago Re means Wake up! in hindi )
Their own ad so much inspired them that they converted this into a whole ad campaign with a number of print and media ad including a website ( jaagore.com ) ! It looks like a public awareness program to increase voter awareness and increase voting percentage.
Overall, it was a very nicely executed campaign, its still running as the elections are not over in India. Almost everyone who watches TV for more than one hour daily knows about "Jaago re".
Because of its success and recollection in people, general expectation was that it would really boost the voting as people would voluntarily go and vote, even some would consider it as a fashion statement ( black marked index finger )
But imagine the shock when after the third round of voting, statistics showed that actually less people voted than the last time!! Only 45% Voting!
Here comes the million dollar question! Was the campaign successful?
Hell yes! Regardless of voting penetration, everyone from a kid to a old man knows that Tata Tea is Jaago re! It is now not demeaning to a young college goer to drink tea rather than "cola". This campaign has given a boost to "tea" as a whole as since last many years the Cola Giants were targeting the huge population of tea drinkers in India with award winning campaigns like "Paanch" and "thanda matlab".
It would be interesting to see the sales figures of Tata tea this quarter..
And that's the bottom-line.
Its Poll Time !
Posted April 27, 2009on:
As per a latest news reports, "Anti-Counterfeit Act" in Kenya has been passed. Here
In its present state, this could easily be the end of generic medications in Kenya. Adding to the worry is the fact that similar laws are on the cards in most of the neighboring African nations. This has naturally created a panic in the generic manufacturing community, and India being a major exporter of Medicines to Kenya will be strongly affected.
Its a classic case of what a fuzzy law can do! And what actually good intentions can result into!
Without alluding to anything, the "Conspiracy Theory" that stands is that MNC's have pushed this law so that their sales are protected from increasing generic penetration in Africa. Because of the broad definition of the above law and a very high possibility of bann on generic medicines under the definition " Counterfeit" give high credence to the above theory.
The statement from Kenya association of manufacturers urges people to support the bill, while not proposing any improvements. Which may mean that they simply want to be in the good books of govt. Check it here
On the other hand, Health action International gives a meaning full fact sheet which is a welcome and like a light in the dark tunnel. Link
In My Opinion?
Govt is like juggernaut. If it starts rolling into a particullar direction, it will forget the actuall initial direction quite easily because if its own momentum, and you can not stop it head on. You can on the other hand hope to draw it to the right path by coaxing it.
