Roving Tara Part 2
23 March 2007
In the afternoon 'Steggy' (another one of our cute Blue-tongue lizards) and I were saying goodbye to all our guests and hearing their stories of the big day they had. This guest I was chatting with earlier in the morning came up to me so incredibly excited as she showed me all the photos she had taken of her day at Australia Zoo. She was amazed at how close she could get to all the animals, not only seeing them in their spectacular enclosures that closely resemble their natural habitat, but also, how we bring the animals out to you. She just couldn't believe the day she had; she saw the Tortoises being fed, the Wombats and Dingoes walking on leads in amongst guests, she hand fed the Kangaroos and Elephants, she saw the Cheetah walking around the zoo with its keepers, the Tigers and Elephants playing in their swimming pools, the spectacular Birds flying right above her head, she learnt a lot about Snakes and learnt that they aren't as scary as she thought, and she saw the big Crocodiles being hand fed and heard the incredible sound of their jaws snapping shut on its prey. Just when she thought she couldn't possibly be any more excited, standing just outside the exit was one of our gorgeous camels waiting to wish all our guests a safe trip home.A trip to Australia Zoo is a truly remarkable experience. Where else in the world do you get to be so close with such a vast range of wildlife in the one area and actually pat them and be able to learn so much about them and with so many happy, smiling faces? The best part of my day is seeing people overcome their 'phobias' of animals and seeing how much they appreciate what we are trying to do here at Australia Zoo. 'CONSERVATION THROUGH EXCITING EDUCATION' is our motto that is true to its word.
Have a wonderful day and make someone smile!
Roving Tara.

Father Owen Moran of St. Rose of Lima Church in East Hanover called on Catholics to pray for Pope Benedict XVI as he announced his decision to resign for health reasons effective Feb. 28.
"We have great affection for our Holy Father Pope Benedict. He's been a tremendous pope for almost eight years, and we want to support him with our prayers and our love as he makes the difficult decision to retire," Moran said Monday.
Pope Benedict is the first pontiff in nearly 600 years to resign. When the College of Cardinals elects a new pope in conclave, the election is usually for life.
Born Joseph Ratzinger on April 16, 1927, in Bavaria, Germany, he was a cardinal under Pope John Paul II. "As Cardinal Ratzinger, he was very close to Pope John Paul and he worked with the pope when he was aging and quite ill. He was able to assist the Holy Father a lot," Moran said.
"I would suggest that maybe Pope Benedict doesn't want to rely on someone. I think he would rather rely on the Holy Spirit and the cardinals to find a younger man and lead us in the future," Moran said.
Priests usually retire at age 70, Moran said, and Ratzinger became pope at age 78. "An 85-year-old man realizes his body isn't as strong as it was when he [was] in his late 70s," Moran said. "I think we grow older sometimes without noticing it. If you look at a picture of yourself eight years ago, we've all aged. And when somebody is consumed by what they do, we can't not give 100 percent of who we are."
When asked if this kind of resignation may become more common as life expectancy increases and modern medicine improves, Moran said he believes it is possible.
As Pope he held up bans against divorce, birth control, stem cell research, gay marriage, married priests, female priests and homosexuality.
He also expressed shame at clerical sex abuse, including once on a trip to the U.S., and made overtures to the Jewish community in the U.S. and in Germany. His first foreign trip from the Vatican was to Germany, where he visited a synagogue. When he visited the Blue Mosque in Istanbul he prayed next to a Muslim cleric.
Pope Benedict was elected on April 19, 2005. He was the first German pope to lead the Roman Catholic Church since the 11th century.
The last pope to resign was Gregory XII in 1415.

Knockdowns should be worth at least 3 points, but they need to be genuine knockdowns. Some of the refereeing has been odd for me

Can always introduce taekwando style reviews for knockdowns.
Is Evans actually trying to win this?
Doing jack ****.
Fred Evans having his arse handed to him in the welter final. 10-5 behind going into the last.
Have a ****ing go, son!!!
Counted 15 seconds there without throwing a single punch and he's 5 points down. ****wit. Just **** off if you aren't going to even try to win.
He's a hungry young fighter.

Absolutely pathetic. Try throwing a ****ing punch next time.
Yeah, very disappointing effort. Outclassed, you'd say.
Credit to the Kazahk tho, different gravy.
Outclassed totally and a bit of a shambolic effort. Almost as bad as Ronald McDonald's commentary.
Baffled by how the Italian won that round by 2 points. But still another guy who isn't throwing enough punches.

Allright, im a big guy, im about 5'11'' tall, weigh about 250lbs.
I have lifted before about 2 years ago and I stopped. Now I am determined and have been lifting for about a month and a half. My max was 150 bench. i know....I know... Well now I got it up to 205lbs. I can tell that I packed on alot of muscle and lost some fat, but of course not as much fat as I wish i had.
All in all I weigh about 251 now, but with good muscle gains and fat loss.
My question is pretty much, can I get some pointers? besides the take this many cals, this many grams of protein and such. I already went through that.
Should I start doing more reps and less weight to try and burn more fat per muscle gain as I lift? Or keep at what im doing?
Also another question was, that im thinking of doing a month of ECA, but i currently take Jack3d when I goto the gym. Is that a No-no? if i take ECA and Jack3d?
I was thinking of taking ECA 3xday, BUT on the days I use jack3d doing it without the C.
Again, some pointers? Thanks.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Officials say a gas leak has forced about 4,000 workers to evacuate an industrial area of Columbus, Ohio.
Fire Battalion Chief David Whiting says firefighters were called at about 8 a.m. to Heartland Petroleum after a leak of hydrogen and hydrogen sulfide.
Whiting says emergency medical crews treated three people and took one to a hospital after a tube leaked.
He says the gas cloud has dissipated and the air is safe around the plant, which recycles oil. Workers will not be allowed back until around 2 p.m.
Among the businesses evacuated was the corporate headquarters of footwear retailer DSW Inc.

Original article at Engadget web site
I can't say I broke my neck in search of ideal data and entire PC migration software, but what I did was quite a job. In January, after having reviewed a couple of utilities allowing the user to migrate Windows applications to a new drive, I wrote about my experience with PC Mover from Laplink Software, an effective solution for migrating your applications from one Windows PC to another, even (with some caveats) when those computers are running different versions of Windows. But there is another kind of migration that PC users often face, upgrading their hard drive. I mean entire PC migration; it's desirable that backup migration software be able to migrate all hard drive applications, both static and working at the moment when PC migration is processed. Unfortunately, backup applications that rely exclusively on file-based backup can't restore a working Windows installation because they don't capture what is known as the master boot record. (Apple, incidentally, notes that Time Machine, which creates browsable, file-based backups, can be used to restore or migrate to another Mac, but that Time Machine archives themselves are not bootable.)
So, in search of effective PC migration software, on the one hand, and recently upgrading a PC hard disk, on the other hand, I tried Acronis True Image 9.0 home, a utility that can create an "image" or exact copy of one's hard drive as well as file-level backup. Acronis True Image automates much of the hard disk migration process, even expanding the partition on the target drive to its maximum so that your new drive is ready to go after reinstalling.
Acronis True Image's interface is pretty simple, which significantly facilitates disk migration. You select your source drive and target drive and let it copy over the contents of the hard drive. Acronis True Image then reboots the PC and anoints the new hard drive with booting information. Unfortunately, my first attempt to do this booting from the original hard disk didn't work so I had to resort to Acronis' own backup plan, which involves booting from a CD you have to set up in advance. The CD runs Linux with an interface that convincingly mimics XP. So, the vendor intends to fully smooth Linux as well as Windows PC migration.
The CD-based system worked and after a few tugs and taps of a SATA cable, I had a new hard drive installed with minimal interruption to my configuration. Unlike with the PC Mover migration, iTunes did not complain about its new home. However, Microsoft Office required reactivation. Furthermore, much as PC Mover includes a handy startup manager that provides value after startup, Acronis True Image also keeps working after riding its otherwise one-trick pony. It can apportion part of your drive to an emergency boot and restore a partition similar to those preloaded by HP, Gateway and other companies.
Of course, upgrading a hard drive isn't the only reason to use imaging software, which also enables easy recovery if a hard disk fails. However, while image-based backups are great for restoring entire hard drives, they can be complicated for restoring individual files; a good backup strategy should include both techniques. Microsoft will embrace a new image format with Windows Vista that will be the basis of its installation and should enable users to drag and drop Windows installations onto hard drives bound for different PCs.
For its part, Acronis is now working on a product that will add system migration like PC Mover to its disk imaging capabilities. Furthermore, with the price of hard drives continuing to plummet, imaging is on the watch list of several companies creating network attached storage such as Seagate and Anthology Solutions. That's all great news for those wanting to migrate their PC with maximum efficiency as no one should have to install Windows and their applications more than once.

A popular cereal is being recalled due to the possibility of metal fragments cooked into the food.
Kellogg's is issuing the voluntary recall on its Frosted Mini-Wheats Bite Size Original and Mini-Wheats Unfrosted Bite Size. There have been no illness or injuries related to consumption of the cereal at this time, but customers have not been shy about their complaints, with some taking to YouTube to post videos of magnets picking up a fair amount of the cereal.
Kellogg's has apologized, but stressed in a statement to the Wall Street Journal that "the likelihood of these fragments making their way into the food is low; furthermore, the chances that any affected food will cause injury is low."
To know if you purchased the recalled cereal, check the box for the use-by date. The affected products will fall under use-by dates between April 13, 2013 and September 21, 2013. The letters KB, AP or FK will be stamped before or after the use-by date. For more information, click here. Customers can also call 1-800-962-1413 between 6 a.m. and 4 p.m. MST or use the Contact Us feature on Kelloggs.com.
The recall could cost the company between $20 million to $30 million.

I'm a sucker for falling into the tourist trap and taking pictures similar to this while on vacation. I have pictures of friends holding up the leaning tower of Pisa and my husband appearing to be scrunched in a tiny room at a Puzzling World in New Zealand. What is your favorite spot for making a silly tourist picture?

A tourist visits an old Israeli military post on the Mount Bental in the Golan Heights after a very tense situation on the Israeli and Syrian border this week on April 5, 2008. Israel two days ago played down media reports of heightened tension along the Syrian border, insisting there was little likelihood of military confrontation between the two neighbours.

Horseback riding tours
Rides in Tibet
Intro to Tibet
Pack Trips
Riding Clinics Guest Ranches Working Ranches Cattle Drives Horse Drives Wagon Trains Wilderness Rides Pack Trips Inn to Inn Rides Short Getaways Family Vacations Women Only - Choose Continent - South America Central America Europe Africa Northern Africa North America Eastern Africa Southern Africa Middle East Asia
Camping Ride with vehicle support Camping Ride with pack horses
Dress is very informal, but Tibetan culture dictate a degree of modesty in the cut of the clothing worn. Please bring long trousers along as normally it is not considered as respectful to wear shorts in Tibetan communities.
For packing it is better use sea-bags or normal Rucksacks with waterproof (if not water proof it is advisable to pack things in a big plastic bags on the inside of your sack). Normally we put 3 Rucksacks on a Packing horseback during the trial. The guest should keep a small bag with them where they can put their cameras and personal belongings (such as passport, money). We will provide some saddlebags where they can store mineral water (but they are limited so we cannot promise ever rider gets their own!).
For Laundry: Services are available at the hotels but you will need to bring two or three changes of clothing for the camping portion of the trip. While in Tibet we will have weather in the 60's and 70's during the day, but nights will be cold.
For Money: The tour is covered food / lodging and transport from arrival to departure in Chengdu – so you will need no money for these parts. However it is very individual on what else you choose to spend on and we would suggest to have some cash - they recommend about 500 EUR / 350 US. Guests can withdraw money from an ATM in Chengdu, but there is a limit to 3000 CNY per day (about 300 EUR). One can also use credit cards to cash withdraw in the bank in Chengdu or exchange traveler checks there (however the bank gives very poor rates and they charge bank fees). So it is advisable to bring cash with you and exchange it on the street where we can get better rates and no bank fees – in this case the handlers like to buy Euro and USD. Electricity: Except our camping nights, we will have access to electricity to recharge our batteries, etc. However please be sure you have a universal adaptor! One should bring enough chips/memory cards or films for cameras from Europe. Telephone: One can bring his or her own mobile phone. And most of the time it will have signals but be aware that there is international roaming costs when you make calls or receive calls while you are in China/Tibet. There will be one Chinese Mobile Nr. where one can call the guests in case of emergency. Internet: In Chengdu and some towns we will be able to check emails in a public internet café. However during the riding we will not able to have access to Internet.
Useful items: Small binoculars, travel alarm clock, sun screen, earplugs, journal and pen, pocket knife (put in checked luggage, not allowed as carry‑on), lightweight snacks like granola bars, fruit bark, jerky, trail mix, nuts, tea bags (if you can't start the day without), vitamins, water purification tablets.
Required by all nationals referred to in the chart. Passport must be valid for at least six months for a single or double entry within three months of the date of visa issue; at least nine months for multiple entries within six months. Those wishing to visit Tibet are strongly advised to join a travel group. Individual travelers need an Alien's Travel Permit issued by the Tibet Tourism Bureau (see Contact Addresses). Applicants will need to show their Chinese Visa also.
(a) China does not recognize dual nationality. (b) HIV-positive travelers are not permitted to enter the country.
Required by all nationals referred to in the chart above except: (a) 1. nationals of the UK travelling to Hong Kong only for stays of up to 180 days. (b) 2. all nationals referred to in the chart above travelling only to Macao for stays of up to 90 days (except nationals of the USA for stays up to 30 days; and nationals of the UK for stays up to six months). (a) transit passengers continuing their journey by the same or first connecting plane to another country within 24 hours who hold valid onward documentation and do not leave the airport. (b) some passengers (not including nationals of the USA or UK) who transit through Pudong or Hongqiao airports only, with all necessary documentation, within 48 hours.

Right before the opening of the upcoming CES, graphics manufacturers are starting to show 1024MB versions of GeForce 8800GT. First to do that in public this time is Zotac with their redesigned GeForce 8800GT 1024MB GDDR3. While not AMP edition, the card utilizes orange PCB and 8 Qimonda GDDR3 memory chips. Inside the card's bundle, there is a DVI to HDMI converter. Source: Expreview
Brilliant! This could eat into the 8800 GTS (G92) sales. Number of PCB layers really wouldn't affect you as long as you're not giving it a punishing OC. They are NOT selling a substandard/cheap quality product by reducing the PCB layers, IF they're reducing it.
I don't know if quality is reduced or not nor did I say they are reducing the quality.I just wanted to know if they really did reduce the number of PCB layers. What I said earlier was companies found it better to use the same 10PCB layers for all the gcards rather than different PCB's for diffrent chips.
yes, and that's because earlier, we were dealing with 90nm cores like the G80 or the 80nm ones, R600. These cores had very high thermal envelopes, the components and circuitry were made to run on a 8+ layer PCB to reduce electronic noise. With the G92, NVIDIA incorporated pulse width modulation (digital+hybrid) and this greatly tones down the electronic noise and a 8+ layer PCB is not required. Yes, higher variants could still have it but that would be only when the PCB is loaded with kilos of components or gluttonous GPU's.
i like this card, the fact that its orange and the fact that it looks like it has a decent cooler on it ah so many cards to choose from!
Soon? How about the last two years of stagnation or so? But then again, it's not as bad as the CPU market. Almost there though.
Sapphire has video cards with blue/teal PCBs and there are many video cards with black and gold PCBs out there. Even silver colored ones. (Mostly limited to Asian markets.)
^Some people buy cards based on their PCB colours to match that of the motherboards. I've seen that happen to the 8800 GTX/GTS that came out with black PCB's and later in green. People started selling those leftover black PCB cards for a high price on ebay.
Soyo and Albatron for awhile made silver PCB, apparently it wasn't just for aesthetics. Not a bad board to use in a plexi or lexan case!
let me back up my statement. 8800gtx .. big whoop, thats the top end of the market, with what, 1% of the market. 3850 and 8800GT is in the middle, where the meat is, mmm, lots of flesh on that bone, but how long did they take to get here? Two points. DX10 ... i dont think it has bee na major achievement yet or ever will, ill reserve final judgement til i get my HD3870.
Who cares about the damn colors its hardware and if it's good clocking hardware who gives a damn? Although I think 1GB is a little much for a card like the 8800GT. And ditch the single slot cooler.

BBD: big buck down
A little over a decade ago, we all watched T.J. Scruggs as he zeroed in on the opposing ball carriers at Bryant Field. He really had "an eye for the ball" as he made tackle after tackle. The ball carrier just didn't get away.
It seems that his prowess has changed from football to deer hunting. But his mentality stays the same, "Don't let them get away." T.J. proved that last weekend when he went archery deer hunting in Bureau County.
He left home early enough to be in his stand by 6 a.m. There was no action near his stand for nearly an hour. Then he heard some crunching and when he looked to the left, he saw a buck coming down a trail toward him. When the buck got about 15 yards from his stand, he stopped in a quartered stance. T.J. drew the arrow back and let fly. The buck took off running away but T.J. felt good about the shot. He got out the blind to call the landowner and wait to go after the buck.

Product 487/673
Skyla is a PR officer for a 22nd century company that makes a special kind of condom: one that protects the user from the 21st century disease called love. In her world, love is an obscene word and a banned emotion. As with all prohibitions, the love prohibition has given rise to a pro-love group, a group whose actions may jeopardize Skyla's dream of a promotion.
Jin is a school teacher - or is he something more? Skyla is instantly drawn to him and when they are together, she forgets about Love Condoms....
And then, one night, Jin knocked on her door in person.
It was awkward at first to have somebody else in her space. But when he touched her face, it was like an explosion of rainbow-colored pixels behind her eyes. Hot. Searing. Delicious. Pounding in her ears and pumping through her veins.
"Skyla," he moaned, and her name had never sounded more exotic.
Then she was in his arms, revelling in their warmth and breathing in the strange musky smell of another human being…when she felt….
His hard mouth on hers.
His tongue parting her lips.
Her knees buckled, and she would have fallen if he hadn't pressed her to him. Through her sheer work uniform, she felt—hello, was that really…yup, it was—the hard hot maleness of him.
It was the first time anybody had kissed her. It was the first time she'd felt a man's—ahem—in real life. The virtual reality simulation in online chat rooms was good, but it didn't even come close to the real thing.
"We can't," she whispered, her breath hard and fast.
"We will."
His tone was firm and insistent. His fingers were firm and insistent. His tongue was buried deep in her throat. Teasing. Arousing. Scorching. A bolt of liquid desire shot through her all the way to her hardening nipples and down, down, down.
Skyla looked into Jin's eyes, eyes that mirrored her need, and she was lost. Not breaking the kiss, she pulled him onto the floor and onto her, craving the weight of his body on top of hers. The pressure of his chest on hers sent shock waves through her body.
"I want you inside me," she murmured. "But we can't…not real-life sex. That's for making babies, and we don't have a license."
Jin ignored her words. He unzipped her uniform an inch at a time, while his mouth traced the widening gap with delicious slowness. Hot. Hotter. Sizzling.
"Oh, hell. This can't be happening," she moaned, one final protest even as she arched her body to meet his.

Mr. JOHNSON said: Mr. President-To obey and support the Constitution of Indiana as it stands to-day is what every Senator upon taking his oath has sworn to do. The Constitution is an instrument of such momentous importance that every one of its provisions should be followed and obeyed to the letter and that no room for any other construction except its literal demands should be entertained. In no ease is this. however, more necessary than when an attempt is being made to amend the great instrument which protects the rights of every man, woman and child in this State, and, as in the case of the so-called prohibitory liquor amendment, to introduce into the Constitution a provision which will, to a large degree annul and invalidate both the Constitutional and natural rights of citizens, In such case I claim more than usual caution and a strictly literal compliance with every demand and direction of the Constitution should be exercised.
It seems to me that party polities have nothing whatever to do with the question. I am well aware that the Republican party has made the adoption of the prohibitory amendment a party question, and it is pretty generally understood, and some of their ablest representatives in the press freely admit that in doing so, in placing itself upon a prohibitory platform, the Republican party has made a fatal mistake, a mistake which has in the November election cost them several great States, upon which the Republicans seemed to hold a life-long lien, and which, if they pursue in their course, will unquestionably cost them the Presidency. It is true, too, that the Democratic party, at least a great majority of the Democratic party, is opposed to the prohibitory amendment, but in doing so, the Democratic party has merely reasserted the fundamental principle underlying our system of government, the great principle that there are rights, inherent in human nature, sacred natural rights which on State and no political majority has any right or power to deprive them of. However, disregarding these Constitutional and natural rights of every citizen of this State, the Republican majority of the last General Assembly adopted a prohibitory amendment, which, for the second stage of its consideration, and in its regular course of Constitutional action, had to be referred to the present General Assembly. This reference to the present General Assembly could only be made according to certain regulations and rules, laid down in and prescribed by the Constitution itself. Article 16, of the Constitution, prescribing the mode of procedure in the case of amendments, says: "If the same shall be agreed to by a majority of the members elected to each of the two Houses, such proposed amendment or amendments shall, with the yeas and nays thereon, be entered on their journals, and referred to the General Assembly to be chosen at the next general election." Now, Mr. President, it seems to me the language of the Constitution is very clear on the subject, and can not possibly be misunderstood by any one who is willing and unprejudiced enough to interpret it literally. The Constitution demands that the amendment, that is to say the full text of the amendment, adopted by the Legislature, be entered at length-and every word of it-on the journals of each House. The Constitution demands it, I say, for the words "shall, with the yeas and nays thereon, be entered on their journals." in my opinion can not have any other meaning. In a question of such vital importance as a Constitutional amendment, the General Assembly, to which this amendment was to be referred for action thereon, was not to be left in page: 99[View Page 99] uncertainty as to what that amendment really was, and so that there could be no possible misunderstanding of what that amendment provided for in the mind of any Senator or Representative, the full text of the amendment was to be em bodied in the journals of each House.
Now let us see what has been done and In what manner the provision of the Constitution has been complied with. I have only had an opportunity to consult the Senate Journal, but on turning to the index I find that the final action on the House joint resolution No 7. which is the prohibitory amendment, is recorded on pages 828 and 829, and in what in what manner? [Reads ] Not one word designating that joint resolution as the prohibitory amendment, much less the full text and the language of the amendment itself! Now, Mr. President, I ask, in all candor, the gentlemen of the legal fraternity on this floor whether, in legal or legislative language, what has been done this case is correctly expressed by the word "entered?" Is it not true that there are three different words expressing, so to say, a gradation of one and the same action, but each used only in a separate stage of such action? Is it not true that resolutions may be filed, noted or entered, and that to file a resolution merely conveys the idea that a certain paper has been deposited at the proper place, and that that act is recognized by an indorsement on the back of the instrument? Is it not true that a resolution is noted, when it is marked down in an official record, journal or book, merely by reference to its number or title-but that the legislative expression entered is always used when the full text and language of a resolution are recorded and spread at length in an official journal, and that the expression "entered" is used in no other sense. It seems to me that this is this is conclusive proof of what the Sixteenth Article of the Constitution wanted done in case an amendment was to be referred to the next General Assembly. It wanted the amendment entered on the journals of both Houses, and consequently it wanted the full text, the full language of the amendment cited in the pages of the journals, and it did not require the amendment merely noted, as has been done in this case. Mr. President, this amendment is of too serious, too grave, and too far-reaching a character to be treated lightly and superficially. All amendments are the organic law of the land has been and must be surrounded by bulwarks and entrenchments, which ought to be so strong and so difficult of access that not a mere assault and surprise, but only a protracted and patient siege, can overcome and conquer them. The framers of our Constitution have in then wisdom reared those bulwarks and intrenchmems by laying down the Constitutional rules for amending it. The very words of these rules should be religiously observed, and not an iota should be tempted in going through a slow and tedious process of an amendment. It is this very difficulty and slowness which constitute our security and guarantee the perpetuity of our liberty and freedom-both as a Nation and as individuals.
In conclusion, Mr. President, I would say that I entirely disagree with the senator form Henry [Mr. Bundy], when he says that in this case it would be desirable if every Senator on this floor were a lawyer. If the language of the Constitution with reference to these amendments were clothed in complicated and technical phraseology; if to the ordinary reader or Legislator that language presented difficulties not readily to overcome then. It might be desirable to have this question decided only by a tribunal of lawyers, But this is not the case; the provisions of the Constitution are laid down in plain English, and I do not believe that there is one Senator on this floor or one Representative on the floor of the House who is not fully competent to decide the matter for himself. But even admitting, for the sake of argument, that the wish of the Senator from Henry might be justified, to have this question decided solely and exclusively by attorneys the learned expounders of Constitutional law, is he not even then beaten by the force of his own argument? Has not the Senate been informed by a majority of the Committee on the Judiciary, that is to say, by a very decided majority of the learned attorneys whom the Senate has selected as its interpreters of he law and the Constitution, that these amendments have rot been properiy referred to the present General Assembly and that they are not to be considered as pending? Mr. President, on account of the various reasons adduced by me, and because I feel conscious that the Constitutional] provisions have not, been complied with in regard to the amendment said to be pending, I am in favor of adopting the majority report of the Committee, and opposed to adopting the minority report.
Mr. McCULLOUGH: For this Legislature to Fay the proposed Constitutional amendments are Constitutionally before this General Assembly would be committing an error indefensible. The only right the Legislature has to take steps like this is a right given by the Constitution itself, and before taking such step, the Legislature must find authority therefor in that organic instrument. In plain language, the Constitution requires that the proposed amendment itself must be put upon the journals-there must be some identification of its language upon the journals. Taking it for granted, these proposed amendments were not entered upon the journals of the last General Assembly, he proceeded to call attention to some other provisions of the Constitution. By virtue of the Constitution it is provided that proposed amendments shall be set forth in the journals of the General Assembly, and the laws of the State provide that those journals shall be circulate in every County in the State. It does not take any great Constitutional lawyer to understand this plain requirement of the Constitution, and so every citizen can search those journals and see if the proposed amendments are set forth in those journals, and if one word is different in one journal from the other then the Legislature has no business to consider the amendment in which such difference in words as set forth in the two journals may be found. It is a question of their publication-in order that the people may be prepared to pass upon such question-so stated by the framers of the Constitution-that the people may know an amendment has been proposed to the organic law-not through newspapers, but in a Constitutional way; by publication in the journals of the two Houses of the General Assembly. He thought there was no very grave Constitutional question involved in this matter. It is as clear as the noonday sun that the Constitutional provision in regard to these proposed amendments has not been complied with. The only conclusive evidence as to whether these proposed amendments were agreed to by the last General Assembly is pointed out in the Constitution itself, which provides that they must be spread upon the journals of the two Houses. Members of the Legislature took an oath to support the Constitution of the State, and not to support any proposed amendments, and where there is a question or a doubt as to whether or not there is a Constitutional amendment before this General Assemble, the safest thing to do is to give the Constitution the benefit of the doubt and say the plain, simple provisions of the Constitution must be complied with before members should vote to adopt any such proposed amendments. He was anxious to see the report of the majority of the Committee sustained
Mr. FOULKE sincerely believed, as a lawyer, that the proposed constitutional amendments are ' now before this General Assembly for its consid page: 100[View Page 100]eration and action. It is true we are acting in the opacity of Judges, but let it not be forgotten that the most conscientious of all English jurists [Sir Matthew Hale] has said that it is the province of a wise Judge to extend his jurisdiction, lest there be a failure of justice. If the balance be anywhere near equal, upon one side or the other, we should remember that, and especially in this case, lest the voice of the people remain stifled. There is no doubt, the Constitution can be amended only in the manner prescribed by itself; but he contended the requirements have been substantially complied with. He held it to be unnecessary that proposed constitutional Amendments should be spread at large upon the journals of the two Houses for the reasons laid down by Governor Bake. In a message to the General Assembly, and concurred in by that General Assembly, in the passage of the Wabash and Erie Canal amendment to the Constitution. He regarded the clause as not mandatory, and even should it be considered mandatory it has been substantially complied with. He went so far as to hold that if it be commanded by the Constitution that proposed Constitutional amendments should be spread at length upon the journal, that provision in merely directory and not mandatory-we are not bound by it. These amendments are properly before us provided we have it properly authenticated, in any other form or manner, that they were agreed to by the last General Assembly. After leading from many authorities lay to whether the word "shall" in the Constitution is to be regarded as mandatory, he said: in view of this uncontradicted mass of authority we may safely lay down the proposition that the word "shall" in the Constitution is not always imperative and mandatory. The word "shall" is no more mandatory in the Constitution than in the Statutes, and the same rules apply to it in the one case as in the other. He regarded it as conclusively settled that whatever relates to The mode of procedure merely, a ad is not of the essence of the thing to be done, is to be enforced by the oaths of members only, and by no other power whatever, in discussing other modes of authentication provided in the Constitution, he insisted that, even should pages be torn from the Journals and be thrown in a waste basket, they could be supplied, because it should not be left in the power of one man to deprive the people of the State of their rights; neither should that happen because clerks fail to do their duty. The Senate Journal has been read but once since the beginning of this session. Without concluding his argument be give way for
Mr. Spann, on whose motion the Committee rose, reported progress, and asked leave to sit again to-morrow at 11 o'clock.
On motion by Mr. Brown this report of the Committee of the Whole Senate was concurred in.
And then the Senate adjourned.

Mike Redmond has his one-liner ready to go.
"That's how the Fish roll right there - a walk-off, no-hitter wild pitch," the Miami Marlins' manager joked. "Why not? It ends the season in grand style."
It certainly did.
Henderson Alvarez pitched the no-hitter, and Miami scored in the bottom of the ninth inning to beat the Detroit Tigers 1-0 Sunday afternoon at Marlins Park.
In the bottom of the ninth, Giancarlo Stanton singled, advanced to second on Logan Morrison's hit and to third on a wild pitch.
With two outs, Chris Coghlan worked an eight-pitch walk on a 3-2 pitch to load the bases. Pinch-hitter Greg Dobbs came up next.
"I was thinking: 'God, please give us a run'," said Alvarez, who was on deck when the winning run scored.
Alvarez's prayers were answered when reliever Luke Putkonen (1-3) threw a wild pitch to allow Stanton to score from third.
"The kid (Alvarez) was terrific," said Tigers manager Jim Leyland, who rested some of his best hitters - including Miguel Cabrera, Torii Hunter and Victor Martinez - as his team prepares for the playoffs. "But even with the guys we had in there, we have to hit better."
It was the third no-hitter in baseball this season and the fifth in Marlins' history. The last Marlins pitcher to throw a no-hitter was Anibal Sanchez in 2006.
Alvarez (5-6) hadn't thrown a no-hitter since he was seven years old and playing Little League ball in his native Venezuela. But even that no-no was only seven innings.
The Marlins finished the season with the worst record in the National League at 62-100, but they swept this weekend's series with the Tigers, who already had clinched the American League Central and had little to play for.
Detroit finished the regular season 93-69.
Marlins shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria kept the no-hitter intact with a spectacular leaping catch of a Ramon Santiago line drive in the third inning.
In the ninth, Alvarez made two consecutive plays on comebackers by Alex Avila and Don Kelly. Alvarez fell back on the first one and jumped up on the second, which was the harder play.
After his only walk of the game, Alvarez then struck out Matt Tuiasosopo swinging to end the top of the ninth with a 0-0 score.
Alvarez, thinking the score was 1-0 and he had pitched a no-hitter, pumped his fist and ran off the field to celebrate. That's when he was greeted by Marlins' veteran third baseman Placido Polanco.
"He told me the game was not over yet," Alvarez said sheepishly.
Alvarez threw 99 pitches, 66 for strikes.
"Henderson had a lot of movement on his pitches," Redmond said.
Redmond said that with this being the last game of the season and umpires and players of a mind to end it quickly, "there were a lot of strikes being called." Redmond also said he would have let Alvarez pitch one more inning had the Marlins not scored in the ninth.
Early on, Alvarez was locked in a duel with five-time All-Star pitcher Justin Verlander, who tossed six scoreless innings, allowing three hits and one walk while striking out 10.
Verlander, who has never had a hit in his career while playing mostly in games where there was a DH, nearly doubled in the sixth inning.
But the ball bounced foul, just beyond the reach of right fielder Stanton. Verlander struck out on the next pitch and is now 0-for-26 at the plate in his career.
"Our guys were having a lot of fun with that," Leyland said of Verlander's attempt at his first hit.

Go watch Food Inc. You've got 90 minutes to spare… do it.
I've just made a few updates to the vimrc section of this site to describe a bit more about what the vimrc is, where it can be found, etc… As well, I updated the bare minimum to include 'wildmenu' – an absolute must!
Well, it took quite a while but I've finally made the Novice Tutorial Prequel – Welcome to Vim. For most of you this won't be very informative but I really felt that these Novice videos needed a true introduction, and this is it :)
Well, I just updated to the latest BoinxTV (a beta release, in fact) and some problems that I was having earlier appear to have disappeared! Things are much more stable now – in fact, I don't see any flaws anymore at all and I have just completed my first video with it, which should be uploaded soon.
I got BoinxTV as part of MacHeist 3 so this was a serious deal and for the moment, I couldn't be happier.
I've been trying to put together the next Vim video most of the day. It's actually going to be the prequel video that introduces Vim. To do it, I've dusted off my copy of BoinxTV that I got from the last Macheist and, while a very cool app, it's causing me some issues that I'm trying to get worked out with the Boinx guys. Hopefully it will be solved soon so that I can get back to publishing these things. I've had a very busy month that made it very difficult to do anything but work, travel and take care of my adorable little two year old :). I got to clean up strawberry juice out of the carpet today and of course, the poop – oh the poop…
So this video will attempt to truly introduce Vim and give a springboard to the novice videos. Once that's in the can I'll move on to continue where we left off by describing how to install plugins and work with file types. We need to start looking at Vim's extensibility through plugins and so I need to lay some foundation for that.
I've managed to finally get a video up on working with Vim windows. You can check it out at:
I've re-recorded Basic Editing 1 & 2 for Vim to align better with how I've been doing things lately and to make them more clear. You can check them out at:
I surf a lot on my BlackBerry and my own website was brutal for it. I tried a ton of themes and was completely disappointed. All I had to do was install the WordPress Mobile Pack and Voila!
WordPress… Why did I ever try to build a website from scratch? This thing's got everything!
I had to redo the Working with Many Files (Screencast 1) video because there was some weird audio encoding problem with it that Vimeo just wasn't happy dealing with. But, at any rate, it appears to work correctly now!
Have a look at Working with Many Files (Screencast 1).

Girl In The Pink Is Definitely Winning Yesterday
Someone get that girl a gold medal.
There are people in the world who have an innate skill for entertaining. While not being particularly funny, talented, or musically inclined these people have a certain spark that cannot be ignored. Break has combed the internet for just such videos and reserves them in the entertaining category. Whether it is the best half time show, weirdest human ability, or small human oddity these purely entertaining videos will not disappoint.

Salsa Verde de Lupita

Tart tomatillos and fresh avocados make this mild salsa a wonderful companion to almost any dish.

If you cannot find tomatillos you could substitute with tomatoes. However you will no longer be making salsa verde (verde, means green in Spanish).
You could also try roasting the tomatoes, like in the Salsa de Molcajete
I've been using this salsa as a dip for chips and it also went great over some halibut. (great in a fish taco too). Very easy to make!
I think to take some of the bite of the onion out, I may let the onions sweat in a pan a little bit before I add them to the salsa.
There were also a lot of bugs in the Tomatillos I grabbed. When you do buy them, make sure you grab more than you need.
This was my first time ever to use tomatillos. I was a bit unsure cooking them as by the time they changed colour they still had not started to split the skin so I cooked them longer. When I cut the cores out , a lot of fluid escaped that didn't seem to happen in the video so I may have overcooked them. Also, I get confused by all those different peppers out there and ended up using jalepeno instead of serrano. The end result though was a delicious salsa that was plenty spicy enough for us. Another great Rouxbe recipe!
Happy you liked the salsa Liz. As for the tomatillos, don't worry if the skin did not split the same, nor should you worry if there was a bit more liquid after cooking. This is likely due to how ripe and or not-so-ripe they all were. In the end it really doesn't matter so much...again glad you like the salsa, now you should try the chicken enchiladas, easy and yummy!
I made this the other day but instead of boiling the tomatillos I roasted them, along with the onions and jalapenos, under the broiler.
I then covered them to steam off the skins and then I peeled them. Much like the Salsa de Molcajete recipe.
Charring the ingredients first really gives this salsa a nice added layer of flavor. Also, you can see from this photo that it also gives the salsa good color. I would have to say that I highly recommend trying it!
I've made this salsa several times, and every single time everybody loves it.
Very good to have them as Chicharrones de puerco en salsa verde, Fish Tacos (Taco Fish) as we call them in Sonora, MX :D ...
And just as Liz, it has happened to me that they come out very watery.. but still with a great taste.
Gracias Lupita, te la volaste!!
I roasted them until they were done (fairly charred). I think it was about 30 or 40 minutes...but really just keep an eye on them and when they are nicely charred on all sides they are done (don't get too carried away with the charring business, they don't have to be black all over or anything).
After that I just used the blender. Hope this helps - cheers!
Dawn: Thank you so much. By the way, I just read the interview of you on Reluctant Gormet -- Very interesting and enlightening.
It may already be known by everybody else; but I didn't "know" you were the hands and voice on the fantastic Rouxbe videos. However I "knew" it was you just by looking at your picture and reading some of your responses to questions. Now, I "know" for sure that what I "knew" was true! Great job!
We just our second annual salsa contest at my workplace, and I was goaded into entering. The hosts were worried that no one had told them in advance they were entering, so they asked me to submit a salsa. I thought of this recipe, which I had just seen last week.
I printed off the text version of the recipe and dashed over to the supermarket for ingredients. Because of a "No Guacamole' rule, I left out the avocado--I didn't want to get nailed for a technicality. I pulled this together in our workplace kitchen in about the thirty minutes and garnished with some of the left over lime.
It turned out I was competing against five other entries after all, and it was a tight race. The three judges even went to an elimination round. And I won with your recipe!
Congratulations! And thanks for being here.
No a tomatillo is not an unripe tomatoe but it does come from the tomato family. Here is a drill-down about tomatillos that goes into a bit more detail. Cheers!
You can try using canned but I don't think it will be the same. I have used canned tomatillos in the past for other things but I did find them to have that same fresh flavor. Perhaps there are some brands that are better than others but for this salsa I like to use fresh tomatillos. Cheers!
Just made it today with the fish taco using canned tomatillos and all I can say is WoW. This salsa is amazing I actually regret that I didn't try it earlier, I really love this salsa I swear to god I have no problem drinking this stuff. Since the canned tomatillos is already cooked I roasted the chillies and used jalapeno and Serrano.
You will no longer be making this particular salsa verde but you are free to experiment with other ingredients. You can try this same method or you may want to peel the tomatoes. Cheers!

B. Whereas the destruction by the Zimbabwe programme of mass forced eviction known as operation Murambatsvina left hundreds of thousands of people without their homes, their livelihoods and the informal employment sector;
C. Whereas the Operation Garikai designed to cater for victims of evictions was wholly inadequate as a remedy for the serious violations of the right to adequate housing perpetrated under Operation Murambatsvina;
D. Whereas five years after the mass forced evictions, residents at Operation Garikayi settlements are surviving in deplorable conditions in plastic shacks without access to basic essential services;
E. Whereas up to 20,000 people living in an informal settlement known as Hatcliffe Extension on the outskirts of Harare have been threatened with forced eviction for failure to pay prohibitively high lease renewal fees of up to 140 USD charged by the authorities;
F. Whereas Many of the settlement's 3,000 households the residents are some of the poorest people in Zimbabwe, a country with a less than 100 USD per capita income and chronic unemployment of around 90%;
G. Whereas residents were not consulted on the fees or the renewal process which sets a restrictively short time frame to renew lease agreements or face new forced eviction;
H. Whereas the forced evictions of thousands including over 220,000 children have exacerbated the already dire situation in Zimbabwe.
