Agreed. What great film! My dad loved it and got me hooked on it when I was a budding shutterbug-kid.
Thankfully, Mom and Dad are still around. Might be fun to dust off the old projectors and have a few "slide shows" this summer. It'll be a pip trying to find my movie screen, but a good goal for this week!
Wow! Lookit that color!

Here comes the smog.
Many of northern Utah's urban valleys, capped by pollution-trapping air inversions due to a continuing high pressure front aloft, were graded "orange," or with seriously compromised, unhealthy air quality heading toward the weekend.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
The Utah Division of Air Quality does not expect the pollution in the Wasatch Front's metro areas to improve anytime soon, either, with the next storm system not expected until the middle of next week, at the earliest.
In Salt Lake, Davis, Weber, Cache, Box Elder and Utah counties, mandatory restrictions on solid-fuel burning devices, open burning and unnecessary driving were in place for Friday. Further, health professionals urged those with compromised heart and lung function, the elderly and very young to avoid outdoor activity.
The Utah Avalanche Center warned that the risk for potentially deadly snowslides remained "high" in the mountains above Logan and in the Uintas, while danger was rated as "considerable" for high-elevation backcountry slopes in the Ogden, Salt Lake and Provo districts. The mountains of southeastern Utah's Moab district were graded at "moderate" risk for avalanches.
The Wasatch Front looked for high temperatures on Friday around 40 degrees with overnight lows in the upper-teens, the same forecast as that for Thursday.
Southern Utah expected highs in the upper-50s and lows in the low-30s.

For Tests at the WACA, once again resuming its former reputation as the fastest, bounciest 22-yard strip of turf in the world, winning the toss becomes even more vital.
Both Australian and India showed the same intention toward the Third Test, shedding a spinner from Sydney and bringing a fourth paceman into their sides.
It meant that one man was going to be very disappointed when the coin landed.
That man was Mehendra Singh Dhoni.
If Michael Clarke was happy about winning a toss for once, he would have been ecstatic when he came in for lunch.
It's a great morning of Test cricket to send the opposition in and take a few wickets, but when those wickets include some of the best and most destructive batsmen in cricket history, well, you're quite entitled to a grin while you tackle your Vegemite sandwich.
Sehwag, Dravid, Tendulkar, Gambhir; all gone by lunch.
It was a morning to savour among some already superb bowling displays from the Aussie quicks this series.
Radios were still being tuned and morning coffees sipped in Perth when Ben Hilfenhaus removed Sehwag with a corker delivery that drifted out and then seamed away further taking Sehwag's edge on the way.
Ponting took a really good low down catch at second slip too, which would have pleased him after grassing a much easier catch in Sydney last week.
Dravid was a touch unlucky, bowled by Siddle off his pads, but in truth, his 35-ball innings was in danger of becoming a play-and-miss-athon.
Ryan Harris, particularly, beat Dravid's bat so often he must've been wondering if it was regulation width.
As he often does, Siddle struck in his first over, with Dravid managing to get himself outside the line of a leg side delivery, which then cannoned back onto the stumps.
It was an inauspicious dismissal, but a well-deserved wicket for the Australians.
Then came the double blow just before lunch.
Tendulkar copped a ripping Harris inswinger plumb in front, and an over later, Gambhir hung his edge out to meet a Hilfenhaus delivery, and the Aussies were happy campers.
India had to dig in after lunch, and to their credit, VVS Laxman and Virat Kohli did that very well for a period, adding a vital 68 for the fifth wicket in around 100 minutes.
The Australians got a little wayward in this middle session, too, and Kohli was happy to help himself to anything coming onto his hip. He's struggled so far all series, but he was starting to look very comfortable by now.
Australia needed a breakthrough.
Enter fellow Cricket Australia blogger, Cameron Rose, who last week in Sydney I'd unknowingly sat metres away from in the press box.
Commenting on Twitter, Cam offered up, "Fancy that Siddle is going to get his first crack downwind soon. Just the sort of partnership he's inclined to break too."
Now, I don't know if Cam's arrangement with www.cricket.com.au is similar to mine or not, but what I do know is that mine doesn't have a direct connection to Michael Clarke.
And not only did Clarke bring Siddle on downwind moments later, but Siddle got the breakthrough in just his second over back, with Kohli slashing to David Warner at point.
Then, just for fun, Siddle got Laxman five balls later, caught by the skipper at first slip.
Within sight of Tea, India were promptly in trouble again. Well played, Cam, well played.
On the resumption, India would last only 5.2 overs, and lost their last four wickets for nine runs to be all out 161.
The Australian quicks finished nice and sequentially; Hilfenhaus took four wickets, Siddle three, Starc two, and Harris the very big one of SR Tendulkar.
If it wasn't already Australia's day, the cherry was about to arrive on top.
Another cyclone hit Western Australia in the afternoon, but this one was localised to within the WACA, and really only destroyed Indian bowling, and possibly a few drinks in the outer.
No-one saw Cyclone Warner coming.
There's any number of remarkable elements about David Warner's 69-ball hundred, but one that sticks out for me is that his pace started quick and just accelerated.
He was already going at a run-a-ball after his first six deliveries; after 16 balls he was already 20, and just 20 balls later he brought up his fifty.
From there he just went nuts, had a run-in with Ishant Sharma, and ended that battle by putting Sharma's fourth ball into the Lillee-Marsh Stand.
He got hit behind the ear, hit the next two balls for four, spent a whole five balls getting through the Nineties (two of which were dots), and raised the equal-fourth fastest century in Test cricket history with yet another long bomb into the Lillee-Marsh Stand.
I thought Adam Gilchrist's fireworks against England in Perth on 2006/07 would take some topping, but Warner has at the very least equalled it.
It was simply a phenomenal knock, a superlative display of strokeplay and power hitting.
Warner's explosion even dragged Ed Cowan along with him, with Cowan finishing the day unbeaten on 40 from 58 balls, as the two put on Australia's highest opening partnership of the domestic summer, and their first century stand together.
Unbelievably, Australia will resume on Day 2 on 0/149, trailing India by only 12 runs. Australia batted for only 23 overs and ticked along at an astonishing 6.47 runs per over.
It's been a horrible toss for India to lose, while Australia Day came 13 days early.

On Saturday, Sept. 24, nearly 1,000 people flocked to Sharonville to help celebrate the grand opening of the new office for A Child's Hope International and their Kids Against Hunger "factory," now located in the McSwain Carpet and Floors building, 2430 E. Kemper Road.
Thanks to very generous lease terms from the McSwain family, A Child's Hope International and their Kids Against Hunger program have a stable home through at least 2014, which is a welcome relief to the non-profit organization that has seen four locations in its three-year history.
"Out of a desire to funnel every dollar possible into food for the hungry and help for children in need, we've been willing to move to wherever we could find free or inexpensive space that was 'between tenants,'" said Larry Bergeron, founder and executive director of the organization. "We're grateful to the building owners in West Chester, Blue Ash and Milford who have helped us in the past, but we're thrilled to have a more permanent home now in Sharonville, thanks to the generosity of McSwain and the warm welcome of the city of Sharonville and the Sharonville Chamber of Commerce."
A Child's Hope International is a non-profit corporation that serves vulnerable children locally, regionally and internationally through four channels of care: adoption, orphan care, foster care and humanitarian relief. Their highly acclaimed Kids Against Hunger program has been featured in various news accounts and referred to as Cincinnati's Most Interactive Charitable Organization by the Cincinnati Enquirer.
In keeping with that "most interactive" label, the grand opening celebration was much more than a party. Rather, it was a day-long, roll-up-your-sleeves commitment to assembling thousands of meals for the starving women and children in the Horn of Africa. Over the course of three separate two-hour work sessions on Sept. 24, nearly 900 volunteers of all ages from throughout the Tristate learned about the plight of that region of Africa and then manned the KAH assembly lines scooping rice, soy, vitamins, dehydrated vegetables and spices into plastic bags, and then heat-sealing and packing the bags into cartons to be shipped.
By the end of the day, guests had produced more than 240,000 meals that began shipping Sept. 27 via KAH strategic partner, World Help, an international relief organization that is coordinating and delivering 4.5 million meals over the next few months to the Horn of Africa where children are at great risk of death by starvation.
Joining ACHI for the celebration were Virgil Lovitt II, mayor of Sharonville; Rich Arnold, president of the Sharonville Chamber of Commerce; Neal Sundermann, founder of Cincinnati Commercial Realtors; Bill Lichtenberg of Lichtenberg Construction and Development, and Jason McSwain of McSwain Carpets & Floors.
Also on hand were local authors with a special interest in caring for children in need, Mark Curnutte ("A Promise in Haiti," Vanderbilt University Press, 2011) and Holly Schlaack ("Invisible Kids," Book Clearing House, 2009).
ACHI's Kids Against Hunger is part of a nationwide humanitarian food-aid organization based in Minnesota that has nearly 100 licensed satellite locations. Since KAH was first introduced in Cincinnati by ACHI in July 2008, more than 22,000 volunteers have produced more than 7 million meals, making Cincinnati one of the largest KAH sites in the country.
The meals produced here have been distributed to food pantries and trusted agencies in Cincinnati, Wilmington, parts of Kentucky, Haiti, and various countries in Central America and Africa.
The revolutionary food formula assembled locally is the same one used at KAH facilities around the country. The unique mixture of vitamins, minerals, dried vegetables, fortified soy protein and rice is carefully measured and shipped dry, and then mixed with boiling water to provide an easily digestible and highly nutritious meal that is broadly accepted by the diverse range of ethnic cultures and religious practices of the people served.
Importantly, all the food that is assembled locally must also be funded locally through the generosity of individual donors, corporations, community benefactors, places of worship, and foundations.
"It is usually easier to staff the assembly sessions with volunteers than it is to come up with the money to buy the food that gets assembled," Bergeron said. "Fundraising is a constant effort and concern."
According to Bob Mayer, a volunteer who assists with marketing and development, what makes the Kids Against Hunger program so unique is how family-friendly it is.
"The KAH assembly line process is made up of several simple and efficient steps, so we have jobs for people of all ages and abilities," Mayer said. "We often have children, parents and grandparents working side-by-side."
In one two-hour session, each volunteer helps pack enough food to feed one child for one year, using ingredients that cost $120. According to Mayer, this is what they refer to as the "Miracle Math" equation: 2 hours plus $120 = food for 1 child for 1 year.
"So, for the price of one pizza a month, we can save a child from starving to death and start to reverse the effects of malnutrition," Mayer said. "It's a powerful equation that people find very motivating."
The Kids Against Hunger "factory" has openings for volunteers, as well as an ongoing need for donations. Families, businesses, alumni clubs, civic groups, churches, and sports teams have been a part of the "factory" experience knowing that their time, talents and treasure will save the life of a child.
For more information or to get involved, contact ACHI at 513-771-ACHI (2244) or visit www.aChildsHopeIntl.org. There you will find links for Kids Against Hunger and all other projects and programs sponsored by ACHI for children in need.

As the next major election approaches, and every politician stumps for your vote, there is an issue I am not hearing from either political side. I am a traditional Republican. But I would welcome and support any candidate that would propose and support a Bill to investigate, and stop, the billions of dollars wasted on fraud in our nations "food stamp" and "public assistance" programs.
I am aware of a family with two sons. The mother required both sons to apply for food stamps at their 18th birthday. After their cards are loaded each month, both sons must give half of the total amount back to the mother. Also, the mother owns her own business. There is something very, very wrong here. And, we are all paying for this criminal behavior.
The U.S. has a ridiculous epidemic of lazy people expecting the "world" to take care of them. The problem is, it's all legal. How can every politician ignore this issue? Actually, I do not recall ever hearing any politician even broach this issue. Why is this? I think the politicians are more concerned with getting their votes from those in the "freebie lines," than the honest, taxpaying citizens.
My vote can be bought from anyone who will challenge the government assistance program fraud.
I would really like to know if anyone else feels the same. I would also welcome the Enquirer investigating this issue.

DiabetesSisters Weekend for Women
One woman shares her experience at the conference.
By Stacey Divone
When you live with a condition that is as continuous and challenging as diabetes, there is a lot of mental anguish that goes along with it. One of these feelings is loneliness. Sometimes it's hard not to feel alone when you're that only one that has to test your blood sugar multiple times a day. Or count every single carb that goes in your mouth. And on and on.
Then came the magic of the diabetes online community in the form of blogs, online networking sites, Twitter, and Facebook. Connecting people virtually. I have gotten to know so many people living with diabetes over the past few years that I've lost count. And even though I haven't met all of them in "real life," they mean the world to me. Take that one step further, to meetings in person, and the instant bond is indescribable. Imagine being in a room full of close to 100 women with diabetes, from 20 different states around the United States (and Canada too!), ranging in age from 18 to 68. Last weekend I had the pleasure of attending the Weekend for Women Conference held by DiabetesSisters in Raleigh, North Carolina. And I was in that room. I was part of that group that learned together. Shared together. Laughed together. Hula hooped together.
The beginning evening activities included networking "games" that gave us all a chance to get to know each other. It set a fun environment that broke the ice for anyone feeling a bit apprehensive.
The following day was full of sessions to choose from. One of the sessions I attended was hosted by Dr. Dana McNeil from Duke University, who spoke about the various hormones that affect diabetes in women during different life stages. She reinforced that diabetes is personal. I could not have agreed more.
There was another session by Dr Laura Young from UNC, who spoke about depression. I was interested to learn that since depression is so common among people with diabetes, your doctor really should be screening for depression once a year. I had never heard this before, nor have I ever been screened. In 30 years. I really appreciate learning things like this so that I can take this information to my endocrinologist and feel like an empowered patient.

I have a friend, M, who has diabetes and never, ever tests her bloodsugar before she gets behind the wheel. This has always worried me about her. On Wednesday, she had a bad accident after passing out behind the wheel. She hit another car head on. I thank the universe that no one was killed, but she and the driver of the other vehicle were both badly injured. She's got a long healing road ahead of her, as does the woman she hit.

A Southwest-based company for more than a century, Frazee Paint and its team of manufacturers are well acquainted with the unique climactic conditions of the region. Always pulling from the latest technology, their technicians design each of their paint and coating products to withstand dry heat, sparse rainfall, and showers of chewing tobacco from passing cowboys. Their quality paints, wall-coverings, wood-care products, and painter's tools stock the shelves of more than 125 retail locations throughout California, Arizona, and Nevada, as well as international dealers in Mexico, China, and Guam.
Ace Hardware, a nationally renowned chain, equips households and handypersons with a durable selection of tools, paints, and domiciliary goods. Helpful employees point shoppers toward the proper tools and wield their home-repair skills to cut keys, sharpen blades, and activate force fields. Homeowners tighten loose bolts with a Steel Grip six-piece combination wrench set ($8.99) or scare away infiltrating ivy tendrils with a Corona 19-inch leaf rake ($17.99). Heath hummingbird feeders ($4.49) draw nature to outdoor patios, and Off citronella candles ($8.49) keep annoyances away. Fall essentials, such as mulch and a jack-o'-lantern covered in fireworks, keep gardens bright and healthy as they transition to the coming season.
With winter settling in like carpet-spilled gravy, now is the ideal time to throw open the windows and get home-care projects underway. Pick up a Steel Grip six-piece screwdriver set for $8.49, a VPT rip hammer for $6.29, and a whole bunch of screws, anchors, and bolts (prices vary), and you'll be ready to finally mount every buffalo nickel and steel penny in your coin collection. Illuminate the newfound décor with a 12-pack of Ace light bulbs ($21.48), the better to see by as you make use of a Purdy four-piece painters kit ($23.99). If you need to match paint to a favorite coverlet or choose a hue that complements a pleather recliner, each store offers a paint-matching service free of charge.

A massive figure with a bushy mustache, red flannel shirt, and axe greets visitors to Lumberjacks Restaurant, a family-friendly eatery that serves portions suitable for Paul Bunyan. Inside, amid a log cabin setting with saws on the wall and issues of Mulch Aficionado on the coffee table, guests can feast on one-pound Big Redwood burgers, 12-ounce rib eye steaks, and, on Friday and Saturday nights, one-pound portions of hand-carved prime rib. The hearty eats share menu space with specials for seniors and kids, as well as breakfast dishes such as omelets, pancakes, and skillets.
Just inside Kids' Club Las Vegas' play area, little ones board a train and ride the pintsize locomotive around a play structure towering with yellow and green tubes, slides, and lookouts. Within the space, kids 18 months to 8 years old expend energy and let their imaginations spill into reality as they crawl through the equipment's twists and turns and soar down its slides. The staff harnesses this imaginative sprit during educational and developmental classes such as Tiny Tumblers, a session for toddlers that helps them learn to identify vibrant colors and the feel of soft, rough, and misunderstood blocks.
Behind glass walls, parents are encouraged to keep an eye on kids as they play. The facility's emphasis on security extends beyond the translucent barriers, as the staff outfits each child and parent with a photo ID, which they must use in tandem to enter and exit, and acquires a list of all imaginary friends' known aliases. All these efforts help grant peace of mind so moms and dads can also use the center's free WiFi and socialize at appropriate moments within the Sandwich Club Café, which envelops its visitors in the aromas of fresh fruit and gourmet coffee.

Security Fears Grow at Southwest Border
Unchecked illegal immigration means porous borders for those seeking work, those seeking terror
HARLINGEN, Texas -- In a storefront courthouse in the baking-hot Rio Grande Valley, next to a "beauty academy" and across from a sleepy coffee shop, US Immigration Judge David Ayala is a study in effortless efficiency. He pulls blue files one by one from a tall stack, announces the name of an undocumented immigrant caught slipping across the US border, and orders the defendant deported.
There are no cries of protest. The defendants are nowhere to be found. Other than the thwack of a stamp and the judge's voice, the only other sound in the tiny courtroom is the quiet hum of an air conditioner, as Ayala goes through the motions before a Department of Homeland Security prosecutor and a reporter.
Unlike undocumented Mexicans, most of whom are quickly returned to their country after they are arrested, almost all non-Mexicans are charged and released in the United States if they do not have a criminal record and are not deemed a security threat. But like this day, few of the immigrants show up to face charges that they entered the country illegally.
When their names are called, 98 percent of all undocumented aliens ordered to appear at Harlingen Immigration Court do not answer. They are weeks into their new lives in all corners of the United States.
The no-show rate, the highest of those for all 53 immigration courts in the country, has deteriorated as undocumented, non-Mexican immigrants have been crossing the border in exponentially increasing numbers, many from known terrorist breeding grounds such as Pakistan.
High-ranking federal officials, including retired Admiral James Loy of the Coast Guard, who served as deputy secretary of Homeland Security until March, have warned Congress that terrorists might exploit the porous border with Mexico to enter the United States, where they can take their chances with immigration officials who often have no choice but to release non-Mexicans.
Such infiltration "is a concern for us," said Roy Cervantes, the US Border Patrol spokesman in Harlingen.
Nationwide, the number of non-Mexicans who are entering the country illegally is skyrocketing, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Through Aug. 9, for the first 10 months of fiscal 2005, a total of 135,097 non-Mexicans had been apprehended out of 1.02 million undocumented immigrants arrested overall. In all of fiscal 2004, the number of non-Mexicans apprehended was 75,392; in fiscal 2003, the figure was 49,545.
The arrivals are coming from all over the globe, using smugglers in Mexico and the United States to ferry them to river crossings and to guide them along dangerous desert trails in their quest for a better life. The inability of the Border Patrol to stem the tide has provoked a fierce debate about immigration policy and security priorities. The governors of New Mexico, Bill Richardson, and of Arizona, Janet Napolitano, both Democrats, declared states of emergency along their southern borders this month.
Big-business interests are concerned that an aggressive federal crackdown on immigration could affect the estimated 10 million undocumented workers in the United States, and who provide a steady source of low-cost labor.
But many lawmakers from border states and others, such as the Minutemen volunteers who monitor the borders, are sounding an alarm.
"The borders are worse today than they have ever been," said US Representative John Culberson, a Houston Republican who has filed a bill to create an armed volunteer militia that would be supervised by border-state governors. "There's an absolute invasion going on."
Other observers, such as the executive director of the League of United Latin American Citizens, Brent Wilkes, suggest that the outcry against the growing influx of non-Mexican immigrants, many of them from Central and South America, is rooted in racial bias.
"We get concerned when we feel like the security issue is used as a ruse to crack down on Hispanic immigrants who are economic refugees," Wilkes said. "There's a lot of people playing up the threat of terrorists coming across the Mexican border."

Chaz Bono: Jennifer Elia is My Rockby Free Britney at . Comments
Jennifer Elia, the girlfriend of Chaz Bono, was completely supportive of her partner's decision to undergo a sex change operation and become a man.
Quite the display of strength and quite the departure from the countless celebrity relationships we've talked about that fizzle out over minute details.
Chaz Bono says his gender reassignment surgery allows the two to physically have what they've always had emotionally: a heterosexual relationship.
"She's been amazing," Bono, who underwent the operation this summer, told ET.
"I really feel so grateful to be going through this with a partner."
Chaz Bono's operation by no means caught Jennifer Elia off guard.
She knew his intention to do this from the start, Bono says: "I didn't just spring this on Jennifer recently. This was something she knew about shortly after we met. Our relationship always modeled a heterosexual relationship."
"This was true emotionally and intellectually. Now it is physically as well."
Chaz Bono, whose voice is drastically lower and has been shaving once a week now, says he feels relieved, as in his mind, he's always been a male.
"I feel like I'm living in my body for the first time, and it feels really good," said the child of Cher, who was also supportive of Chaz's sex change.
"The one thing that will never change is my abiding love for my child," she said.
Click here for more Chaz Bono pictures.
I think Chaz is very brave.
I am not surprised at all by cher's statement. It is so her to accept people the way they are. She could not reject her own child... But still, i feel sorry for her. She had a daughter and a son. Now she has no daughter anymore :( i do not get how being a cute little girl can get one to an enormous male. What about becoming a cute guy, if becoming a guy is the only point of that surgery? Anyway, bravo pour ton courage quand même chaz.
i respect and admire chaz.. i myself are looking for a pshycologist to take my case on so i can be assesed for the same operation. its difficult for family and friends to understand how a person is feeling to be trapped in a body that doesnt belong to them.. some people will never understand, but the fact of the matter is, this is your life, we get one chance at it, its nothing to do with anyone else what a person does with there life..so i say good on you chaz... i wish i could be as fortunate in this respect as you..and you look very happy! good luck with the rest of your life and enjoy..a friend.
Wow, Chasity was actually a pretty woman....and to dream of becoming an obese man is quite a change! I am not sure what drives such desires...it's something I can not comprehend...but if everyone is happy....then I wish them the best!
It must be difficult to live in the public eye,so for all of them(Cher,Chaz,etc) I commend their courage. Gender reassignment is a process that is several years in the making...psychological counseling for a few years,medications ,then finally the surgery.I admire Chaz's partner for sticking by his side.I wish all those involved the best!
After the "transition" is complete, does this mean that Chaz will no longer self identify as a homosexual? Does the transition mean that Chaz never was a homosexual? Does this mean that gender-based roles forced this "transition"? Is this merely a way for Chaz to be married to the sweetie? Agreed with the other posters. Cher's love is deep to be able to continue devotion to her child in these circumstances. How much did Chaz' early introduction to lesbianism contribute to the desire to "become a man?"
I'm old enough to remember the Sonny and Cher show and this cute little blonde girl they brought onstage every now and then who was their daughter. Now we have this person who looks like a man and is obese -- just mind-blowing, especially considering how ultra-feminine and thin Chaz's mother is. Her father was also always very thin. This is not a judgmental critique at all and I agree with Cab that it's pretty gracious that Cher is supporting Chaz . . . still . . . it's just such a wild departure from the parents that it boggles the imagination.
I've got a lot of respect for Cher. It must be difficult to have a child go through this...especially in the public eye. Her statement, "The one thing that will never change is my abiding love for my child," is a very gracious and supportive one. Good luck to both of them.

1 year on… a new site and a new name
So it's officially a year (and a bit) that I've been freelancing and I can't quite believe how quickly its passed! In that time I've had the pleasure of working with some awesome people, built some fantastic sites, designed some cracking stationery, acquired a puppy AND managed to get myself a new name. I guess when you write it down it doesn't appear to be much, but I assure you it's kept me on my toes for sure!

xo, Violeta
How many pizookies does this recipe yield. Do you press the dough into the dish and how much? Thank you for sharing, I can't wait to try them.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Danette! Yes I press the dough into the dish and I like mine thick so I fill the dough all the way to the top of the dish. It depends on what size dish you are using but my family can get about 10 pizookies with the size dish I used pictured above. If you are just going to make regular cookies out of the recipe you can get about 4 dozen depending on the size balls you make. I usually use a tablespoon. :)Delete

FORT WAYNE – Notre Dame is preparing to be physically challenged as it gets ready to kick off one of its most difficult stretches of the season.
The No. 22 Irish (2-1) play host to Michigan State (3-0) on Saturday, to No. 14 Oklahoma on Sept. 28, then they play No. 23 Arizona State on Oct. 5 in Arlington, Texas.
The Spartans are the only opponent not ranked in the Associated Press Top 25, falling one vote shy of sharing the No. 25 spot with Texas Tech.
It's going to be one of those typical Big Ten games where the last man standing through four quarters comes out victorious, coach Brian Kelly said Tuesday.
Michigan State comes into Saturday's game leading the nation in fewest yards given up with 177 a game.
The Spartans have the No. 4 run defense, giving up 50.3 yards a game, the No. 5 pass defense, giving up 126.7 yards a game, and the No. 12 scoring defense, giving up 12 points.
As impressive as Michigan State's defensive statistics have been, Kelly said it will come down to an Irish offense – averaging 29.7 points and 451 yards – executing at its highest level to get a victory.
We make sure that our kids are prepared for the schemes that they are going to see against Michigan State, and understand their personnel, Kelly said. Now, after that, it's up to us to execute what we do. We are not going to go into the game and hope. We have to execute. So after we have handled this week's preparation on what they are doing scheme-wise and then their personnel and how we need to play, it's going to ultimately, week in and week out, it's going to come down to how we execute.
It's going to be how we protect. It's, (receiver DaVaris) Daniels is going to have to make big plays. Our backs are going to have to run. Our lines are going to have to identify the schemes. You'd better recognize Michigan State's personnel and their schemes, but you're going to have to execute to beat this team.
The Irish will also have to deal with a new wrinkle in the Spartans' offense. Connor Cook emerged as Michigan State's starter over Andrew Maxwell and Tyler O'Connor after throwing for 202 yards and four touchdowns in Saturday's 55-17 win over Youngstown State.
Cook, a 6-foot-4, 218-pound sophomore, has completed 27 of 49 passes for 276 yards and has run for 70 yards in three games.
Cook is somebody that's elusive. He's a big kid that can run the football, Kelly said. What he does for them, obviously, is gives them the ability to run the quarterback, and that has not been something that has been part of their offense in the past.
Kelly said the defense should be at full strength to contain Cook as Irish defensive end Sheldon Day recovers from a sprained ankle.
He's going to stay in a walking boot (Tuesday), and we'll take it off (today), Kelly said. Pretty encouraging that he'll be able to practice (today), and then we'll see how he goes from day to day.

2014 NBA Draft — Joel Embiid
SCHOOL: Kansas Jayhawks
HEIGHT: 7-feet
NBA PLAYER COMPARISON: Hakeem Olajuwon
PROJECTION: Top-3
You can't teach size, and Joel Embiid has that. But it's not just his freakish stature that has NBA scouts salivating for the Kansas big man prior to the 2014 NBA Draft. Embiid is an above-average athlete, better than most centers in the NBA not named Dwight Howard. He can elevate with the best of them and can catch and finish over and/or through traffic.
He's raw on the offensive end, but has improved so much over the course of the last year. So much so that he became a legitimate offensive post option for the Jayhawks late in the year. He'll obviously need to get stronger, but that'll come once he gets some professional strength and conditioning coaches in the association.
On the defensive side of the ball, Embiid will make an initial impact in protecting the goal. Embiid blocked 2.6 shots in 23 minutes per game at Kansas last season. To put that into perspective, Anthony Davis led the NBA in blocks per game this season with 2.8 in 35 minutes per game. Embiid's blocks per 48 translates to a little more than 3.4. That's not bad.
Naturally, with every great big man prospect there are going to be concerns. Especially when said big man is coming off a back injury that held him out of action during the latter point of his previous season.
However, a prospect like Embiid is very rare. 7-footers are somewhat of a lost art in the NBA — they are far and few in-between. If Embiid's back checks out, there's no reason why Embiid shouldn't go No 1. He's that good.
If Embiid is healthy, and continues to develop and there's no reason to believe why he wouldn't, he will have immediate impact for whichever teams takes a shot on the former Jayhawk.
There are a handful of prospects that come around every so often that are simply too good to pass up on, no matter what the risk. Embiid is one of those prospects.

Subject: Anonymity of blog readers
Jim's surmise is correct -- the case, in which we represented the
newspaper chain that was opposing the subpoena -- DID involve the
anonymity of citizens who wrote comments on a newspaper's online blog,
and not the anonymity of those who were only readers.
However, there is a case currently pending in Buckingham County,
Virginia (south of Charlottesville) in which a libel plaintiff has
subpoenaed the IP addresses of everybody who has even READ the allegedly
defamatory stories online. The theory seems to be that the plaintiff
can then interrogate them about how they perceived the story and whether
it had any impact on the plaintiff's reputation. It is a chilling
theory indeed.
We represent a blogger who received a similar subpoena after he
commented on the libel litigation (it seems that this plaintiff won't
tolerate ANY discussion). As it happens, our client does not have
access to readers' IP addresses, so the issue will be moot as it applies
to him, but it is possible that the newspaper may have such access, so
the issue may well be joined for that subpoena.

Subject: Re: [IP] Court sets standard for online anonymity protections
From: No-Name <labmanager () gmail com>
Web sites involved in defamation suits are not required to
immediately hand over the identities of readers who leave anonymous
comments ...
I think (I HOPE!) that this concerned the identities of writers; not
of the "readers".
(However, is it noteworthy that various law enforcers - foreign adn
domestic - have demanded that librarians provide information about
which readers check-out various publications, as well as demanding
identities of everyone who views or downloads various content that is
prohibited - somewhere.)
Irregardless, please note that - if (when!) laws DO force disclosure
of each author of each writing posted online, then web-sites will have
to remove The Federalist Papers, considered the third-most important
legal document in the nation, after the Constitution and Declaration
of Independence!
The writers of those crucial public debates (including the Anti-
Federalist Papers) did so anonymously, with strong justification at
the time.
The authorship of those individual papers was never confirmed by their
writers, although most identities were later alleged by various third
parties and historians, long after the fact, including by modern
researchers who used statistical analyses of the writing patterns.
(Will we next have guilt by statistical probability?)

California Reaffirms EV Leadership
California Governor Jerry Brown has doubled down on the Golden State's commitment to electric vehicles (EVs) by enacting six laws aimed at promoting EVs. The package of legislation includes two laws aimed at making EVs available to a broader audience of individuals – one for people who live in multi-unit dwellings and another with incentives for getting EVs into carshare programs.
Landlords in California now cannot block the installation of EV charging equipment through restrictive leases if renters agree to pay the costs. This law will help California's large renter population join the EV crowd and could help the state reach its goal of 1 million EVs on the road by 2023. Most purchasers of EVs to date live in single-family homes, and this law removes one potential obstacle for broader adoption.
According to Navigant Research's report, EV Geographic Forecasts, which was produced before these new laws were passed, California was likely to have approximately 820,000 light duty EVs on the road by 2023.
PEVs on the Road, California and the United States: 2014-2023

Smoggy and Dry
California is home to 7 of the 10 cities in the United States with the worst air quality, including smoggy Bakersfield, and has endured 3 consecutive years of drought, which is motivating Governor Brown to continue efforts to promote emissions-free driving in the state. Some of those afflicted communities might breathe a little easier in future years, as another of the new laws targets incentives for placing EVs in carsharing programs in lower income areas with air quality problems. EVs make sense in carshare and rental programs, as users don't have to refuel the vehicles, and motorists who have a good experience could later become EV purchasers. However, even after federal and state incentives, higher priced EVs are still out of reach of many consumers.
Incentives for plug-in vehicle drivers, such as HOV access, have proven critical in increasing EV adoption. States such as California, Georgia, Oregon, and Washington that offer financial and other incentives are also the top sellers in EVs per capita. According to HybridCars.com, sales of plug-in hybrids are up 44% over last year, while sales of battery electric vehicles are up 20%.

Impact of Octreotide Long-Acting Release on Tumour Growth Control as a First-Line Treatment in Neuroendocrine Tumours of Pancreatic OriginJann H. · Denecke T. · Koch M. · Pape U.F. · Wiedenmann B. · Pavel M.
Departments of aHepatology and Gastroenterology, bRadiology and cPathology, Charité, Berlin, Germany
Background: Somatostatin analogues (SSA) are widely used in the treatment of patients with functioning and non-functioning neuroendocrine tumours (NET). The aim of our investigation was to evaluate the antiproliferative effect of SSA in patients with pancreatic NET. Methods: We retrospectively analysed records of 43 patients with pancreatic NET treated at our clinic with octreotide long-lasting release as a first-line therapy. The aim of our study was to investigate the overall best response according to the RECIST criteria, overall best response defined as disease control rate (SD+PR), response and disease control rate at 12 months, and time to tumour progression (TTP). Results: The mean age (± SD) of the patients (16 female/27 male) at initial diagnosis was 54.7 ± 11.86 years. At the start of therapy, 39 of 43 patients were classified as stage IV according to ENETS-TNM. Tumours were graded, based on MiB-1/Ki67 staining, as G1 (n = 8), G2 (n = 30) or unknown (n = 5). The octreoscan was positive in 37 patients, negative in 2 and unknown in 4 cases. Nineteen patients had functioning tumours, 24 patients had non-functioning tumours. Median overall survival was 98 months, and median TTP was 13 months. Analysis of grading showed a statistically significant influence on TTP when comparing the median TTP for Ki67 >10% with Ki67 <5% (p = 0.009) and Ki67 5-10% (p = 0.036). Conclusion: SSA may be considered as a first-line treatment for antiproliferative purposes in metastatic NET of the pancreas. Patients with a proliferation index <10% displayed a more durable response compared to those with a higher proliferation index.

One of the largest manufacturers and suppliers of paints in the Pacific Northwest, Parker Paint has been sprucing up interiors and exteriors since 1945. The company has evolved over the years to keep up with the latest advancements in painting technology.

With more than 1,600 shades to choose from, painters will find it nearly impossible to settle, like a bowl of jello during an earthquake. Luckily, customers can take advantage of the handy virtual decorator to narrow their choices and forecast what color schemes should be applied to which room, such as aquamarine themes for the exotic-fish room, bright primary colors for the inflatable fire escape, and a variety of yellows for a basement filled with antique butter churns.

"I owe Marilyn Monroe a real debt…it was because of her that I played the Mocambo, a very popular nightclub in the 50's. She personally called the owner of the Mocambo, and told him she wanted me booked immediately, and if he would do it, she would take a front table every night. She told him - and it was true, due to Marilyn's superstar status - that the press would go wild. The owner said yes, and Marilyn was there, front table, every night. The press went overboard. After that, I never had to play a small jazz club again. She was an unusual woman - a little ahead of her times. And she didn't know."

Faith's Checkbook - June 27
June 27
Thank Him; Dwell Acceptably
"Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto Thy Name: the upright shall dwell in Thy presence" (Psalm 140:13).
Oh, that my heart may be upright, that I may always be able to bless the name of the LORD! He is so good to those that be good, that I would fain be among them and feel myself full of thankfulness every day. Perhaps, for a moment, the righteous are staggered when their integrity results in severe trial; but assuredly the day shall come when they shall bless their God that they did not yield to evil suggestions and adopt a shifty policy. In the long run true men will thank the God of the right for leading them by a right way. Oh, that I may be among them!
What a promise is implied in this second clause, "The upright shall dwell in thy presence!" They shall stand accepted where others appear only to be condemned. They shall be the courtiers of the great King, indulged with audience whensoever they desire it. They shall be favored ones upon whom Jehovah smiles and with whom He graciously communes. LORD, I covet this high honor, this precious privilege. It will be heaven on earth to me to enjoy it. Make me in all things upright, that I may today and tomorrow and every day stand in Thy heavenly presence. Then will I give thanks unto Thy name evermore. Amen.

We got this rug to cover our new wood floors. It adds the perfect accent to all our rooms. We bought 2, and love them all. We also got the 2x10 runnerl rug to match. The quality is good. They are thick, and well made. Beautiful colors. I am so happy I got them.
Could not be more pleased with this rug. The only regret is there is not more floor space to buy a number of these... Well made, great colors, lays flat... Much thicker than i thought it would be yet is not overly heavy to roll up for vacuuming underneath from time to time... It really adds warmth and texture to the room....Great Price....
My aunt loved it so much as her Christmas present, I ended up ordering 2 more for her!
this is my second rug from overstock.com , they are awesome & you cannot beat the quality or the price. I have seen similar rugs for up to *** on other sites. they look great on our new hardwood floors.
Absolutely beautiful! Love it...colors are true to picture. I've looked at these rugs in various online websites and they were way more expensive. Good deal. Wonderful for country decor.
