Native Plants Resistant to Oak Root Fungus
Garden Guides | At Your Home Garden Design Service | In House Bed Design | Garden Tune-Up Service
Following is a list of native trees and shrubs considered resistant to Armillarea mellea, Oak Root Fungus. Smaller perennials do not appear to be affected by this fungus. It should be noted that this fungus is a natural, native component of much of the soil in California, with a very diverse flora thriving alongside it. When this organism becomes a problem in a garden setting, it is typically related to a heavy watering regimen, which is unnecessary for most natives, and acts as a strong 'fertilizer' for fungal growth, particularly in hot weather. Gardeners struggling with problems related to Oak Root Fungus should examine their watering schedules, and water the minimum amount necessary. Doing so should limit fungal growth to an extent that many less resistant plants will still thrive.

8-Year-Old Boy Murders Elderly Woman, "Grand Theft Auto IV" Takes Flak

The boy shot his caregiver in the head
An 8-year-old Louisiana boy has shot and killed his caregiver, and the video game
"Grand Theft Auto IV"
is being blamed for his actions.
The incident took place in a mobile home park near Slaughter, Louisiana, and the East Feliciana Parish Sheriff's Office has ruled it a homicide.
The boy, whose name has not been released, reportedly took a gun and shot his elderly caregiver -- identified as Marie Smothers, a woman of about 87-90 years old (her age hasn't been confirmed yet) -- in the head. The gun is believed to be Smothers'.
The boy said it was an accident, but officers believe it was intentional. The theory is that the boy took the gun and shot Smothers in the head while she was watching TV.
According to reports, officers noted that the boy was playing "Grand Theft Auto IV" right before the murder occurred. The child's motivation for the murder hasn't been confirmed as violence learned from the video game, but reports are leaning in that direction. They seem to be just assumptions with no real evidence.
Grand Theft Auto IV
Reports also note that the child had a normal and loving relationship with Smothers.
The child has been released into the custody of his parents and likely won't be charged for the crime considering his age, according to
Huffington Post
Whether or not video games lead to violent behavior has been a question under review for some time now. Many conflicting studies have been conducted on the subject, but none provide definitive evidence for or against the claim.
For instance, a 2011 study by researchers at the
University of Missouri (MU)
found that the brain becomes less responsive to violence after excessive and short exposure -- meaning that video game violence leads to an increase in aggression as the line between appropriate behavior and
inappropriate behavior
is blurred.
National Rifle Association
(NRA) even
blamed violent video games
for violent crimes earlier this year after the tragic massacre at
Sandy Hook Elementary
in Newtown, Connecticut.
However, a 2007 study by Texas A&M International University researchers in Laredo, Texas found
no real link
between violent video games and aggressive behavior.
"Grand Theft Auto"
is a video game series that allows gamers to engage in motor vehicle theft within the game. It has strong adult themes, such as the use of weapons and even sexual content, and it is rated "M" for mature.

Somewhere in the bowels of Forbes Field and Three Rivers Stadium, the Pittsburgh Pirates built an assembly line that created great hitters as efficiently as the nearby mills produced the sheets of steel that built the city. Since 1900, the Pirates have produced 25 batting champions and a parade of Hall of Famers — 36 in all that have worn the Pirate uniform at one time in their career.
The Pittsburgh Alleghenys joined the National League in 1887, playing and winning their first game 6-2 against the Chicago White Stockings. The nickname Pirates was hung on the club in 1891 after they were accused of hijacking a player under contract to the Philadelphia Athletics.
The Pirates stocked their roster with talent from surrounding Midwestern teams, most notably a somewhat bowl-legged shortstop named John Peter Wagner. Better known as Honus, he would spend the next 17 years in Pittsburgh and would be called by both teammates and opponents the best shortstop, and perhaps the best player, in the history of the National League. He would win eight batting titles; retire with 3,420 hits and a .328 lifetime average. Wagner would be one of the original five inductees into baseball's Hall of Fame.
At the turn of the 20th century, the new American League liberally raided National League teams for talent, but somehow never got around to luring away the better Pirate players. By keeping their roster intact, the Pirates became a preeminent franchise in the National League.
They opened the century by winning three consecutive pennants (1901-03). The 1902 team won 103 games and finished a mind-boggling 27 games ahead of second place Brooklyn. During these three seasons, Wagner hit .353, .330 and .355, while workhorse hurler Deacon Phillippe won 64 games and Hall of Famer Jack Chesbro won 22 and 28 games before leaving for New York in 1903.
The Pirates represented the National League in the first World Series (1903), a best of nine event against Boston. Phillippe defeated Cy Young in the first ever Fall Classic game, 7-3. Phillippe pitched five complete games in the Series and won three, but Boston won the championship in eight games.
In 1909, the Pirates moved into Forbes Field and fielded their first championship team. That unit won 110 games, with Wagner hitting .339 and the pitching staff recording a stellar team ERA of 2.07. They bested the Tigers four games to three in a World Series billed as a showdown between each league's best player – Pittsburgh's Wagner against Detroit's Ty Cobb. Wagner hit .333, Cobb only .231.
The Pirates began a slow decline in 1910, bottoming out in 1917 with a 51-103 record, a sad swan song to Wagner's career. The Pirates put their assembly line into overdrive in the early 1920's and produced an impressive litany of Hall of Fame hitters: Harold "Pie" Traynor (lifetime .320 during 16 years and voted the National League's greatest third baseman in baseball's 1969 Centennial poll); Hazen "Kiki" Cuyler (.321 in 18 seasons); Paul Waner (3,152 hits, .333 average and three batting titles during 20 years), his brother, Lloyd Waner (.316 during 19 years); Arky Vaughn (.318 in 16 seasons and one batting title) and Max Carey (2,665 hits and a .285 average in 17 seasons).
The Pirates played in two World Series in that decade, winning the 1925 pennant and their second world championship by defeating Washington in seven games. They pounded the great Walter Johnson for a 9-7 win in the decisive game. They finished on top two years later, but ran into the buzz saw that was the 1927 Yankees and lost four straight.
From 1928-1945 the franchise was middle of the pack, and a lot worse from 1946-57 when it managed only one winning season (1948) despite Hall of Famer Ralph Kiner slugging home runs at an unmatched pace. He won seven consecutive home run titles (1946-52).
The assembly line geared up again in the mid-1950's, churning out the first Latin superstar, Roberto Clemente (.317 in 18 years, 3,000 hits and four batting titles), shortstop Dick Groat (.286 during 12 years and one batting title) second baseman Bill Mazeroski (.260 during 17 years) and, in 1962, Willie Stargell (.282 and 475 homers and two home run titles during 22 seasons).
The Pirates slashed their way to the 1960 pennant and exacted revenge against the Yankees in one of the strangest Fall Classics ever. The Yanks won three games by a composite score of 38-3, but the Pirates won the other four close games, with Mazeroski's walk-off homer in the bottom of the ninth of Game Seven giving the Pirates their third World Championship.
The Pirates abandoned Forbes Field for Three Rivers Stadium in 1970 and two years later the team was dealt a tragic blow when Clemente was killed in a New Year's Eve 1972 plane crash attempting to deliver supplies to earthquake victims in Nicaragua.
Undeterred, the assembly line was at it again in the early 1970's, surrounding Stargell with a great generation of hitters including Dave Parker (.290 during 19 seasons and two batting titles), Al Oliver (.303 in 18 years), Richie Zisk (.299 in his six years with the Pirates) and Richie Hebner (.277 and 121 home runs in his seven years with Pittsburgh). The Pirates also traded for Bill Madlock, already a two-time batting champion. He won two more titles while a Pirate and hit .297 during his seven year stint with them.
The Pirates dominated the newly formed National League Eastern Division, winning it five of six years (1970-71-72-74-75) and again in 1979. The 1971 and 1979 teams won world titles by defeating Baltimore both times in seven games.
After lean years in the 1980's, the Pirates' assembly line produced one of its most special talents in Barry Bonds, who went on to break Henry Aaron's career home run record as a member of the San Francisco Giants. In seven seasons with the Pirates, Bonds hit .276 and whacked 176 home runs. Also emerging was Bobby Bonilla (.284 during six years with Pittsburgh) and Andy Van Slyke (.284 and 117 home runs), via a trade with the Cardinals.
This edition of the Pirates won three consecutive division titles (1990-92) with Bonds hitting 92 home runs and driving in 333 runs during that span. They failed to advance to the World Series in any of those seasons, and when Bonilla and Bonds left for lucrative free agent contracts the Pirates took a severe nose dive and have yet to recover. In fact, they did not record a winning season from 1992 through 2010.
Bonds & Bonilla
The Pirates moved into PNC Park in 2001, but somebody forgot to bring the assembly line. Maybe it was disassembled in the same cost-cutting maneuvers that drove away talent (Aramis Ramirez, Jason Kendall, Brian Giles), populated the roster with young and inexperienced players, alienated fans and turned the Pirates into one of the game's most forlorn franchises.
As ownership worked to restore the team's competitiveness and win back fans, it is left to the ghosts of Wagner, Traynor, Waner, Kiner, Clemente and Stargell to remind fans of the proud legacy that was the Pittsburgh Pirates.

New York, Jan 16 (ANI): Former president Pervez Musharraf has said that Pakistan is a victim of terrorism so the world should support it in this hour of crises.
Expressing these views at a press conference in Michigan, Musharraf urged the international community to play a constructive role for the elimination of terrorism and extremism.
He urged the US to support Pakistan through economic aid expansion.
Replying to a question, the Daily Times quoted Musharraf as saying that Pakistan was trying its best to bring perpetrators of the Mumbai attacks to justice.
Former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto had also become a victim of terrorism, he said.
The government is striving to put Pakistan on the road to progress, but they should be given time as terrorism and extremism could not be ended within seconds.
Asked about the presence of Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan, he said, "We do not know where he is now." (ANI)

What's Cookin' Good Lookin' Challenge Week 2.5
Tuesday, February 12, 2013
So we're kind of in between rounds over at the Maintainers' What's Cookin' Good Lookin' Challenge, but I decided to report on a dish I made this week anyway. Tonight I made "Halal Cart" style chicken. A few of the team members beat me to it, and loved it, so needless to say I was excited to make it.
"Halal Carts" are basically food trucks in large cities that serve halal meats. Halal meats are basically "sanctioned" meats for those who are Islamic. My meat was not real halal however :) I used to eat at a lebanese restaurant in Chicago that was across the street from my office, and so I was excited to try this to get some of those flavors.
This was a very easy recipe to make, and would have been even faster if I did the chicken cooking and rice cooking at the same time, versus doing one then the other. I neglected to reserve half the marinade to use at the end, but I don't think it had any negative affects. Also, after cooking I only ended up with 17oz of chicken, so I had this make 4 servings instead of 6. For the yogurt sauce, I halved it since I had half the meat called for, and only used a half cup of greek yogurt, and left out the mayonnaise altogether, and it was not necessary at all. I used Sriracha for the hot sauce. I was also happy to find pitas that were 140 calories, which I cut into 8ths to make them seem like I was getting a lot. For the chicken, rice, and sauce, total calories was 435 (EDIT: The actual calories are 512. I calculated the rice incorrectly). As you can see it was a pretty large serving, and very filling.
I definitely recommend trying this, and I can't wait to try it outside on the grill, as it did smoke up my kitchen pretty good (no vented hood here).

Amanda, you should definitely try it! I was worried the spices (namely the coriander and turmeric) would be expensive but each one was around $3 at my regular grocery store. I think even kids would like it, especially if you skipped the yogurt and hot sauces. Slenderella, it's not spicy at all unless you add the hot sauce, which is totally not necessary. I had the leftovers for 2 lunches with no hot sauce or yogurt sauce and it was still delicious.

I bet I'd really like this recipe, but my hubby does not like exotic tastes and the kids (and their parents) wouldn't tolerate the heat. So, I'll probably tuck this one in the back of my mind to try when hubby is out of town and I have a girlfriend over! Thanks for the review and link to the recipe.

Anyone here have a homebirth with twins? We're not pregnant yet but were doing fertility treatments and our RE has warned us because of my hubs sperm count, we should be semi aware of the chance.
Re: Twins?
I know of a couple ladies who have done it. i don't know that I would. But I also don't know that I'd want to birth in a hospital with twins, since they are automatically on high alert with twins.
Re: Twins?
I don't know of anyone that has done it besides maybe a few I've talked to online but I know I would for sure birth at home as long as the twins were full term when labor started.
Re: Twins?
No personal experience here... it wouldn't hurt to go ahead and start interviewing midwives (or talk to yours if you have one), explain the situation and get their (her) perspective. :)
Re: Twins?
Laws regarding twin home-birth differ from state to state. I have a friend who lives in FL, where it is illegal to home-birth twins, so she drove to NC where she found a supportive midwife/OB team who attended her home-birth. (she stayed at a friend's house for the month leading up to her due date). She has had natural home births before, and said she was not going to have an automatic c-section (dr policy) just because there were two inside! They were breach, but all went well and they are healthy and happy! It can definitely be done! You just might have to be creative if it's really important to you ;)
Re: Twins?
My midwife can deliver twins, even though she we are in Utah, because she is licensed in ND.
Re: Twins?
Hi. I'm currently 19 weeks pregnant with identical twin girls. I have four other children, the latter two of which were born at home with midwives in attendance. I found out a week ago that we're expecting twins. This changes things for me when it comes to birth, but only slightly. Because I live in a state where it's illegal for licensed midwives to deliver twins, I now have to see a trusted and experienced unlicensed midwife AND my regular, licensed midwife. I will switch between seeing them for prenatals and, come time for the birth, I will deliver at my regular midwife's "office" (a house with two birthing suites)- which is close to the hospital- instead of my own home. In attendance will be both midwives, however my licensed midwife won't be able to do the actual "catching" of the babies. But she can otherwise help with whatever the unlicensed midwife might need. My midwife's house is only 20-25 minutes away from where I live, so that's not a big deal. Yes, I'd rather just stay at my own house to deliver, but this is light years more preferable than going to the hospital.
Even if it's illegal in some states for unlicensed midwives to deliver twins, there are ways around it without technically breaking the law. It's all about finding a willing team of knowledgeable people to assist in building a bridge to get there.

In fact, it is served on the menu in the Southeastern United States! In addition to the delicious McGriddles, the Chicken McGriddle breakfast sandwich substitutes a fried chicken patty in place of the sausage, egg, or bacon. How tasty does that sound?

I just got through reading an article in the "Almada Newspaper". This is what the 3rd paragraph said: Rashid added by saying that "hard currency prices stabilized after a few days of taking the central bank's decision to cancel the daily auction, and that this contributed to the strengthening of the Iraqi dinar," expected "The coming days will witness the return of the dinar to strength again." WHAT THIS IS SAYING IS THAT IN THE COMING DAYS WE WILL WITNESS THE RETURN OF THE DINAR TO IT'S ORIGINAL STRENGTH. WHICH MEANS THE RATE THE DINAR WAS PRIOR TO THE WAR! I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT TO ME THIS IS TELLING US THAT VERY SHORTLY WE WILL HAVE AT LEAST A "REINSTATEMENT" OF THE DINAR!. THIS IS AWESOME NEWS! HAVE A GREAT DINARIAN DAY TO ALL!

While reading through the gospels this past week so many things struck me that I had never seen in the past. In fact, something happened while reading that had never happened before, it was as if I was there. I was there and I could hear the way Jesus was speaking, more than that, it was as if I could feel his heart's emotions as he said the words. One of the things that hit me was the meaning behind the words Jesus cried out while hanging on the cross. Mark 15:33-34 says "And when the sixth hour had come there was a darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi lema sabachthani?" which means "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" In the past I had always read this verse and felt a sense of remorse for Jesus…there he was suffering and at the brink of death and he felt forsaken. He felt alone as if his father had forgotten him. But moments after reading this verse God led me to turn directly to Psalm 22 and what I read completely changed my perspective on Jesus' mindset and emotions at that painful moment in time.
Jesus was not questioning the Father, He was not asking why he had been forsaken, he didn't feel alone or in doubt about his Father's intentions toward him. No, he was encouraging himself, he was strengthening his spirit by reminding himself of the promises of his Father. He was quoting Psalm 22 which was a prophetic picture of what was happening to him at that very moment. I can imagine how he may have been quoting that psalm over and over in his mind as he hung there…the prophecy was consoling him. The prophecy spoke of that exact moment and it strengthened his soul because the prophecy has a very powerful ending. An ending of triumph and glory…
Psalm 22 says, (and Jesus said as he hung on the cross…)
"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?… Yet you are holy, enthroned in the praises of Israel. In you our fathers trusted; they trusted, and you delivered them. To you they cried and were rescued; in you they trusted and were not put to shame… I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; my heart is like wax; it is melted within my breast; my strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to my jaws; you lay me in the dust of death…For dogs encompass me; a company of evildoers encircles me; they have pierced my hands and feet–I can count all my bones–they stare and gloat over me; they divide my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots. But you, O Lord, do not be far off! O you my help, come quickly to my aid! Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dog! Save me from the mouth of the lion! You have rescued me from the horns of the wild oxen!
I will tell of your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will praise you: You who fear the Lord, praise him! All you offspring of Jacob, glorify him, and stand in awe of him, all you offspring of Israel! For he has not despised or abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, and he has not hidden his face from him, but has heard, when he cried to him. From you comes my praise in the great congregation; my vows I will perform before those who fear him.The afflicted shall eat and be satisfied; those who seek him shall praise the Lord! May your hearts live forever! All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations shall worship before you. For kingship belongs to the Lord, and he rules over the nations. All the prosperous of the earth eat and worship; before him shall bow all who go down to the dust, even the one who could not keep himself alive, Posterity shall serve him; it shall be told of the Lord to the coming generation; they shall come and proclaim his righteousness to a people yet unborn, that he has done it."
Jesus cried out "My God, my God why have you forsaken me?" Hear the true cry of Jesus' heart…the cry of faith in his Father, the shout of praise because he knew he had overcome the power of the enemy and his works would be remembered for all generations.

My battery cover has the date 2010/6/11. The new shipment should take care of all the people still waiting, and hopefully fixes the problems of the older versions.

Fewer than half of breast cancer patients being seen in target time
The number of breast cancer patients seen within the target time has dropped alarmingly in the past year, official statistics have revealed.
Less than half of suspected cases had a first assessment with a specialist inside 14 days in December.
Just 744 of the 1,503 cases were seen in the target time, compared to 96.3% (1,100 out of 1,142) 12 months earlier.
The Department of Health's target is for all urgent breast cancer referrals to be seen within two weeks.
The drop in cases being seen within the specified time has led to warnings that patients' health is being placed at risk.
The figures emerged after the department published its latest cancer waiting time statistics yesterday. They also show a quarter of all cancer patients are not beginning treatment within the target time of two months.
The Department of Health said 95% of cases should be seen within 62 days, but yesterday's statistics show that just 72% began their treatment within this period. Only 267 of the 370 cancer patients given an urgent referral in December started their treatment on time.
All five of Northern Ireland's health trusts missed the target for the last quarter of 2015. However, the 72% figure did represent an improvement on the 64% of patients who began treatment in October 2015.
A leading cancer charity voiced alarm at the delays.
Roisin Foster from Cancer Focus Northern Ireland said: "The continuing failure to meet targets set for cancer patients waiting for treatment is of major concern.
"In personal terms it brings increased anxiety to people with suspected cancer and their families.
"We believe that our health service is letting these people down at an already worrying time.
"Our message that early diagnosis and treatment saves lives is being compromised by these very worrying statistics.
"We know that our health trusts are already under extreme pressure and ask what support they will be receiving to help them tackle this worrying situation."
The charity has called on the Executive to produce a new strategy for cancer for Northern Ireland.
The Department of Health said it expects to see an improvement when January's figures are released later in the year.
A spokesman said a "significant increase" in referrals "impacted on performance".
"Where possible, trusts put additional clinics in place to help cope with the additional demand," he said. "However, the repercussions of such an increase take time to correct themselves."
Last month, figures from the Northern Ireland Cancer Registry showed there had been a dramatic rise in the numbers of women being diagnosed with breast cancer.
The number of women treated for the disease has risen by 53% overall in the past 20 years.
Experts have said the health system needs to prepare itself as the figures are set to climb.

RACHAEL Leahcar has a new best friend. And with her friend by her side, she's ready to face university life.
The Voice star, who is legally blind, has completed training with her Royal Society for the Blind Guide Dog, Ella.
"I'm so happy," said Leahcar, who is also an RSB ambassador.
"I was matched with Ella because she's a sensitive dog and easy to control with vocal commands. We had a connection."
Leahcar, who celebrates her 20th birthday later this month, suffers from a degenerative eye condition called retinitis pigmentosa.
"My vision had deteriorated so much that the cane didn't really cut it anymore," she said.
"A guide dog will find steps, it'll find the button for the crossing - the cane doesn't do that. You just tap around and can get lost really easily."
An average of 13 people receive a guide dog each year. Leahcar had to complete just over two weeks of training to learn how to control and care for Ella.
RSB Guide Dog service manager Chris Muldoon said the two-and-a-half year old golden retriever would help Leahcar navigate Flinders University campus when she starts her studies in speech pathology next month.
The popular singer, who is always happy to chat to fans, asked people to take caution with Ella.
"When she's in the harness don't approach her, because she can become distracted and I could get hurt," she said. "But they (fans) can talk to me all they want!"
It costs more than $25,000 to breed, raise and train an RSB Guide Dog.
Dogs can be sponsored for $25 a month or one-off donations can be made at rsb.org.au, or email puppy firstname.lastname@example.com or phone8417 5555.

Alex Payne looks at the best bets for final Lions-Australia Test
Halfpenny? Folau? Smith? Alex Payne looks at the try-scoring odds for the crunch Lions-Australia clash.
Last Updated: 05/07/13 4:51pm
The general consensus among the Sky Sports team after the second Test was that the Lions would still win the series, but, as the week has gone on, events and selections has seen opinion swing behind the Wallabies.
The re-acquittal of their captain James Howell has given Australia a real boost, so too has the recovery of try scorer Adam Ashley-Cooper - but Robbie Deans played his trump card with the selection of one of their greats, George Smith, four years after his last test for the Wallabies.
Relief has grown into outright confidence.
In contrast, the Lions have had to deal with losing their captain Sam Warburton, who had a huge match in Melbourne, and then the fallout from Brian O'Driscoll's omission and the Welsh heavy selection.
The fur has certainly flown in reaction, and Warren Gatland will have needed the hide of a rhino not to be affected by it.
As a result of it all, Australia start as slim favourites at 6/5 on, and they will be hard to back against - even past Lions are now wincing when asked for their predictions.
So let's do this two ways.
If you want to go with your head and play the stats game, Australia are your bet; they have had the better of Gatland's Wales on the last eight occasions and know how to handle what's coming.
Further to that, if you agree that South Africa are the most physical side in world rugby, the fact the Wallabies have beaten the Boks in seven of the last nine meetings is a real worry for a Lions side that has been set up to batter their way to victory.
However, if you bet with your heart, and I am guilty of this, then you will believe that Gatland has got his key cog back in Jamie Roberts (13/2 anytime try scorer).
The Lions have really struggled to get over the gain line and the selection of the good Doctor, and Sean O'Brien on the open side, should ensure that they start to puncture the Wallaby defence.
If they can, it will reignite Mike Phillips (9/2 a/t) and the Lions will have a chance to play. It is also worth mentioning that the Wallabies have lost five of their last six games at Stadium Australia, so it is no fortress.
Everywhere you look it is possible to find reasons for and against. I have said all along the Lions would win the series 2-1 (now at evens) and I can't change now.
I'm going again with the alternative margin at 1-12 at 7/4, though just to cover myself we have been joking this week that if we're working down from a two-point win in the first Test, a one-point win in the second then it must be worth covering off the draw at 20/1.
Elsewhere, the first halves of the first and second Test have both been the highest scoring and it is 11/10 for the same again this weekend. It feels likely, with the final 40 minutes of the series likely to be extremely nervy and tense.
In terms of try scorers, not many of the Lions pack are known for crossing the whitewash - O'Brien's power looks the best shot at 13/2. The money will come in again behind George North (10/1 first try scorer) but I like the look of Leigh Halfpenny to cross at 9/2 anytime.
He averages a try every three and a half games for Wales and rounded off a cracker against the Waratahs after great work from Roberts and Jonathan Davies, who start in the centres on Saturday.
If you're placing your faith in the full-back it would also be worth considering the social media special of Halfpenny to score all the Lions points at 7/2 a/t.
For Australia, Israel Folau again looked dangerous in the second Test, and like North he is worth covering at 10/1 for the first try. There is plenty more to come from Joe Tomane (3/1 a/t) and if you do believe in fairy tales how about George Smith to cross at 8/1 a/t on his 111th and final Test?
Those who know say the first rule of betting is to remove the emotion from it, but for most rugby fans there is no chance of that come Saturday. Here's hoping it is all round joy for the Lions, and your bets. Good luck.
Alex tipped up a 14/1 winner in the 1st Test so check out all his predictions ahead of the decider at Sky Bet.

Grand Slam Betting
There are four events in tennis that tend to cast a shadow over all others. These are the events which can define players, and make or break careers. These annual major tournaments are collectively known as the Grand Slam Tournaments.
The Australian Open is the first Grand Slam of the year and kicks off during the last two weeks of January every year at Melbourne Park. Since the event happens during the Australian summer, it isn't rare to see matches called off or delayed due to extreme heat.
128 entrants are invited to the men's and women's division, respectively, and 64 doubles pairings qualify for the major tournament where nearly $23,000,000 is up for grabs.
The French Open at Rolland Garros is famous for its slower playing surface and five-set matches. This Grand Slam is considered to be the most physically testing for athletes and, with over €16,000,000 to be won, the rewards are certainly there for the players with the stamina and endurance to prevail.
Wimbledon is Britain's famous tennis Grand Slam, and it happens every year at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. Played on very quick grass surfaces, the 128 entrants in each category (as well as the 64 doubles teams) compete for their share of a massive £13,725,000 prize pool.
The US Open is the final Grand Slam of the year and is played at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows. A massive purse totaling up to over $21,000,000 is up for grabs in one of the most lucrative sports tournaments on the planet.

Canton - China
Commonly known as Canton, Guangzhou is the third largest city in China. Today the city is wrapped in modernism but if you take a glimpse into its vibrant past, it will take you back in time to the Qin Dynasty of 214 BC. The city's strategic location between Macau and Hong Kong has made it a popular destination amongst both business travelers and tourists alike. Not very long ago Canton demonstrated rampant urbanization with tasteless architecture and congested traffic jams but at present the city has been stripped of its unattractive appearance and given a delightful makeover. The Canton you see today is a fast moving city with exquisite architecture and cosmopolitan edge. However, the city still offers a glimpse of its vibrant history and does not fail to satisfy the travelers who are thirsty for Canton culture and tradition.
Apart from many other things Guangzhou is most popular for the wide array of Cantonese cuisines that it offers. Here are the top four things you can see, do and experience during your stay in Canton.
If you visit a city with so much of historical heritage, it is simply a waste not to discover some of its beautiful culture. Even if you're not so much the 'culture vulture' traveler, we recommend you check out at least few locations.
- The Chen Clan Ancestral Hall is now the Guangdong Folk Art museum but it was once the accommodation and preparation hall for the Chen family's imperial examinations during the Qing Dynasty.
- Xiguan Dawu is the centre of old Guangzhou culture. These are big and old buildings built over 100 years ago.
- Cantonese cuisines are considered to be China's haut cuisine. The list of 'popular' dishes is endless so when you get to the city ensure you try out a variety of flavours. If you are picky on meats then make sure you check what goes into your dish because there's an age old Cantonese saying that the only four-legged things that Cantonese people won't eat are tables and chairs!
- The Canton Tower is the unmistakable landmark of Guangzhou City and it is situated in Zhuhai District. The Guangzhou New Library and Guangzhou Opera House are two other significant modern architectural masterpieces.
- If you are in any part of China shopping can unveil some exciting things for both men and women of all ages. For bargain shopping you can try out Beijing Road, Mouse Street Shopping Centre and Haizhu Square. But if you want to get your hands on big brands then try The Palace Mall in China Hotel and Taikoo Hui which are upscale shopping malls.
- You can find cheap flights to Canton if you book your air ticket on www.findmyfare.com. We are the ONLY online company that offers the lowest airfare rates in the country and that's a guarantee! You can check out our list of flights to China through the website and make your reservation in minutes.

Despite the alleged separation of church and state, BELIEF in Sustainability is widely held in American secular government. Judeo-Christian moral guidelines have been incrementally supplanted by what can best be described as neo-pagan ones. Consequently, notice where rulers never utter a harsh word towards Malthusian, Utilitarian and Green nutcases. There the ruled are at grave risk.

Wishful Thinking, Meaning Well, and Failing
Og reminded me today that he had tried to get me to think more deeply of what he calls the Left and Right forces in play in our lives. I really don't recall exactly what his hypothesis was because as he was explaining it I went on one of my tangential side-trips inspired by his new way of viewing things. He saw it better than I do because I was of no help to him when he needed a sounding-board and multi-processor feedback back then.
It reminded me that I see the forces at play in our lives in a way nobody else I know seems to share. It should be no surprise to regular readers here that it is my opinion that anti-human forces (in humans themselves) play an immense role in how badly the plans and inventions of the brightest minds get turned to deadly outcomes.
And that further got me to reflect again about why I chose my online name that implies that this is the place to find the fervor that was Blaise Pascal's.
Did I already see the concept of God and love of life much as apparently did Blaise Pascal? Or did I only begin to comprehend those conceptions more deeply after I focused on how he showed hubris filled men and their nefarious plans could be defeated? I do not remember.
But what I did do, in adding the name Fervor, was seek to attain the level of his fervor, a sort of wishful thinking: a setting of a goal.
It is a sad self-recognition of my shortcomings that I have come in no way close to the level of that man's drive. My silence in the last month has troubled me. I far too often take solace in the thought: "if you have nothing worth putting in the effort to say properly – fully – better to say nothing." But as any good writer will tell me, it's in the discipline to write that gets you where you want to go.
Yet I have mixed results over the years in trying to follow that advice. Just this last month alone I started many commentaries on important subjects. Yet I did not find and draw upon what drive I needed to complete them. I failed to overcome either what I view as my laziness (being hard on myself) or my scattered-thoughts/forgetfulness (being charitable to myself), and maybe a good bit of oh-what's-the-use-ism.
When I see so much awful behavior transpiring in the world, micro and macro, I get angered by the lack of reflective, conscientious commentary about society's failings being at the root of so much of it. And I find that that anger passes far too quickly to keep me fired-up to write. Maybe that is precisely how I and a good number of my generation were conditioned by the Conditioners. But I KNOW they wanted me to behave that way, so it's really my own shortcomings now that I am aware of that indoctrination. Oh God how I wish I could find, in the shorter time remaining to me, the key to becoming a better man than I have been.

Pascal, do you ever read Bob Godwin's blog, One Cosmos? It might be just the sort of place to help you unpack some of your thoughts.ReplyDeleteReplies
I've seen Gagdad Bob postings around, but had never gone to his site before.Delete
Do you have any particular post in mind, or that you recommend?
Just go there. Explore. Waste time in a holy fashion. Seek out the Slack. He speaks of it daily. I've followed him and prayed for him in his very real journey to the Christian faith. It's a sacred UNdoing that's quite hard for those of us who may be more rotely wound. We forget to let go, but we need to remember to.Delete
Actually, I was afraid that was what you meant. :)Delete
Thing is, P, you have such an amazing processor. If you'd just unburden it of some of it's buit in routines once in a while, and point that high powered thing in different directions I shudder to think what you might begin.ReplyDeleteReplies
LOL. Unburdening is easier said than done. So you've noticed some rigidity have you?Delete
Pascal, maybe you set too high a goal? It is not a shortcoming to realize one's limitations. It is a recognition of one's abilities and the limitations placed thereon by at times personal and at other times often uncontrollable circumstances. I can recommend letting your thinking go slack at times as I have often found my deepest thinking comes about when my mind has been cleared of all my thoughts and is on other matters unconnected with current thoughts.ReplyDelete
Get drunk occasionally, let yourself go, but don't get off track.Replies
Yes, trying to get to the level of drive of Pascal is quite a bit grandiose. However, he did prove that mankind can achieve greatness above great odds and in a short time span. To be honest, I selected my name more in homage to what he achieved for mankind politically (out of all the things he did) than for setting a personal goal. Wistful, and apparently out of reach, but not a bad measure of excellence. So thanks for reminding me.Delete
Oh, I can't get drunk. Excessive alcohol — like three drinks and sometimes less — puts me to sleep.Delete
My brother in law has the same problem - one or two beers and he is off to bed. limit your intake to one or two tipples, but above all make sure you relax and work within your limits. Life is much too short to busy people.Delete
As far as slack goes, I do get there. I garden. A lot. Have a heck of a green thumb. It started way back when I was a regular employee. When engineering managers became MBAs instead of lead engineers who'd been promoted, I began pulling weeds where my wildest imagining served as good therapy. ;) After I quit and became an independent contractor, it served to provide my mind slack it needed to solve some tough engineering problems.ReplyDelete
The difference between technical problem solving and human problem solving however is akin to the difference between tic-tac-toe and chess. So I would bet more slack would help. However, my forgetfulness and scatter-shot thinking which helps tremendously -- for example, to solve problems that arise in engineering testing and save the product -- is not that good when there are so many variables as human motivations. And then there is denial all around, both my own and in those who are kind enough to lend me an ear.
Maybe actively seeking the slack will help me finally curtail my scattershot inclinations. I surely hope so. But Bob there sure seems way out there from what I have read so far. I suppose it all starts to make sense in time, but so far, not much to me.

iPhone Meets World: Legally
"Jailbreaking" an iPhone will soon be a thing of the past now that the Library of Congress gave Apple smartphone users a get-out-of-jail-free card.

Comcast will launch a network version of their VOD Fearnet channel — suggesting that VOD-only distribution isn't ready for prime time. Or that prime time is still the best time for ad supported content.
As the 2010 Tour de France prepares to climb the Pyrenees, TV ratings are up while TDF numbers are down. Crashes and injuries have forced 20 cyclists to drop out.
But riders' pain may be cable's gain. Versus' live morning coverage is setting ratings records.
One of this summer's "hottest" new shows is a reality based sports drama featuring daily updates each morning. It raises the usual reality fare a few notches, including spontaneous fistfights, a psychopath who has been kicked off the island, illicit drug use and egos which dwarf anything that Hollywood could imagine. This production uses real world class athletes competing for big prizes. And instead of unseen producers manipulating the circumstances to imitate reality…it uses reality.
Nielsen has announced organizational changes which will give set top box data greater visibility in the ratings company as well as testing to see how STB data compares to the ratings currency.
It's Independence Day 2010 — and many of us aren't feeling quite as independent as we did a few years ago. At least a million people without steady work will lose their unemployment benefits this week.
The pressures of meeting a mortgage, feeding a family, paying taxes and staying afloat are obvious. Valerie Menowsky says some of the other impacts and frustrations of being less than fully employed are less visible.
A little after Wimbledon and just before the MLB pennant races heat up, a lot of people with foreign names wear spandex and race bicycles crazy fast up and down mountains in a far away land we love to visit and Fox News loves to criticize. Beginning today in Rotterdam and ending three weeks later in Paris, it's the Tour de France.

In such a case the surrogate agrees to abort, or not to abort, in accordance with the intended parents' decision." I thought the Romney's were supposed to be pro-life? The language used in this 'Gestational Carrier Agreement' between Tagg Romney and the surrogate mother isn't 'pro-life' language. This is the last thing the GOP nominee needs with less than a month to the election.

I remember scouting for a furniture when my husband and I first bought our house. It was around 1999 before he left for Dubai.
We must have visited one shop after the other in a place in Manila where furniture were the main highlight of the place. It is one stretch of furniture shops to choose from.
My taste then was still different. I preferred having a certain country and homey feel to my furniture. I vividly recall selecting a white wicker living room set which was around $200. Back then, that price would be so much but I feel in love with the rustic furniture that I didn't consider the price. I know it was not a very wise move, money-matter wise. However, both my husband and I loved the rustic piece. Even our respective families were gushing on how pretty and dainty the wicker living room set was.
I felt proud owning that wicker set. It has been with us for sometime and my daughter has sat on it's soft cushions while growing up.
The wicker set is now in my mom's house. It will still be my favorite furniture because of its simple beauty.
