Hey everyone! I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to write yet, but things have been a little crazy. I don't have time to fill you guys in on everything that happen but I'll give you the highlights. My problems actually started before I even got on the airplane to come here. When I was paking the night before I realized that I had forgotten my glasses down in Blacksburg and my camera was no where to be found. I was frustrated with these new developments, but there were nothing too serious. I just took one of my parents cameras and made sure to pack lots of extra contacts and bring the prescriptions for my glasses with me. Problem more or less fixed. SO the next morning I get up and my Dad and I head to the airport with plenty of time to spare. We stop by Kinkos so I could make a few extra copies of my passport (just incase something were to happen). We get to the airport with 3.5 hours to spare. There was no line for check-in. IN other words things looked like they were going great. That should have been my first indicator that something was about to go terribly wrong. Some of you may be able to guess what happened next. I go to get out my passport and.... it's not there. I had left it in the copy machine at Kinkos. It still baffles me even now that I, a person who has spent most of the past 2 years making copies for her jobs, forgot to take the passport out of the copier. So my dad and I run back to the car (thank goodness he had decided to come in with me and not head right to work). He calls his office and has someone call Kinkos and we start driving back to Manassas ( about 35 miles away). His deputy calls back. My passport isn't there. At this point, I loose it. Not only is my trip ruined but someone out there is running around with my passport. We keep driving because there was nothing else to really do and abou 3 mins later she calls back. Apparently nobody had actually bothered to check inside the copier (sometimes I really hate people) and they did indeed have it. So my dad starts driving like a crazy person and my mom goes to pick up the passport and meet us halfway. We meet up in Centreville and then rush back to the airport. Somehow, I suppose by the grace of God, we make it back to the airport with 1.5 hours till my flight. I fly through check-in and security and manage to be at my terminal with an hour to spare. I even had time to eat a quick lunch. I catch my plane and meet up with my sister in JFK with no problems. Our flights to Brussels and Dakar where relatively uneventful, though we did get stuck on the tarmac for 3 hours at JFK because we had mechanical problems and then a baggage car had run into another plane which blocked the runway (still not sure how one runs into a plane, but that is a questions for anoth day. We land in Dakar and get our baggage and then we go to get money from the ATM. Long story short the lachine hated us and ended up eatin gmy sisters card, which wasn't the end of the world because we have a couple hundred in dollars and we exhanged them at one of the shops in the airport. We actually managed to get a decent rate. Then we get a taxi (which is actually the beginning of another story that will have to wait for another time) and get to our hotel. Our hotel is pretty nice and te people there are a lot of fun. So the next morning we get a taxi to take us back to the airport to get my sister's card back, which was actually a lot easier than we thought it would be. Unfortunately, when the people at the bank tried to run the card, it didn't work. We decided that we would just go back into town and try at one of the big banks. Long story short, we go to two banks and realize that Sarah's accounts have been blocked. So we ended up having to go to Western Union to exchange some more money for a horrible rate. Again, I really don't have time to go into the whole story, especially since I just manage to erase the last paragraph I wrote, so I'll have to just give you the summary. IT took us four days to get the whole thing cleared up but luckily our hotel fed us and just put it on our bill. And I know what you are probably thinking, four days, really? Shouldn't have only taken a simple phone call to the bank to straighten things out? Yes and no. It should have been as simple as that but it is actually impossible to make collect calls or use foreign calling cards from Senegal. Finally some nice guy let Sarah use his cell phone to make the call and we were able to get it sorted out. I had a good birthday. Nothing terribly exciting. Sarah and I got caught in quite the little downpour and I met up with one of the professors here. In the evening we had cake with some of the people from the hotel and then Sarah and I got in a discussion abou marraige and babies with two guys from the Ivory Coast. They couldn't believe it when I said I wasn't sure if I would ever get married and that I was never going to have children. They also couldn't believe that I found a guy that was okay with my declaration of no procreation because apparently that is a deal breaker with them. All and all it wasn an amusing evening with me yelling "Pas d'enfants!!! Jamais!!! (no children ever) and me going lalala with my fingers in my eqrs when one of the guys kept saying he was going to pray that I had children in the next 4 years. Good times... Well, there are a few little stories from my trip so far. I'm enjoying myself, even though I have had a few minor frustrations. I'm pretty sure I could stay here indefinitely with no real difficulty (I've even had a few marraige proposals that could faciltate that HAHAHA j/k). The people are nice and it's an interesting place. I'm looking forward to actually have sometime to do some exploring.

text: The truth is that the best way to deal with a recession is to innovate your way out of it. You could just cut back on everything but you will also cut back on the very things that can help you to survive and grow. You could just continue to spend as if there was no recession but you will run out of money and waste opportunities to improve the way you innovate.

The Follow-Up To The Punisher Short Dirty Laundry Has Been Released
Writer/director Joe Lynch and Thomas Jane took Comic-Con by surprise last year when they debuted their short film Dirty Laundry. The short was a slow burn that ultimately revealed it was a Punisher story featuring Jane reprising the role of Frank Castle. Lynch premiered another fantastic Marvel related short at this year's Comic-Con, and it has finally been posted online.
The follow-up to the amazing Dirty Laundry is called Truth in Journalism. The short stars Ryan Kwanten as a New York City journalist who is being followed by a French documentary film crew. You can probably guess the truth behind Kwanten's character since his name is Eddie and he has some interesting protrusions in the poster. There is one more huge reveal toward the end of the film. I won't spoil that though. Watch the full short film below. Dirty Laundry is below the new film just because it's worth sharing any chance you get. What do you think? Does this top Dirty Laundry?
"The great part of my job is that I get to be an 'administrator of truth.' Crime occurs every 13 seconds in this city. You know we have these statistics? Because guys like me are out on the streets, collecting these stories. We put the caution in cautionary tale, y'know? And being aware the crime out there, the people of this city can live their lives accordingly. In fact, I'm the one doing this city a public service. We're the heroes out there…."
-Eddie B.

That poor bear - imagine if alien hunters came down and shot members of your family and then posted smiling photos of themselves with your dead relatives. Everything eats, hunting to eat makes sense but no one has to eat bears.

Springfield, MO (PRWEB) January 14, 2014
Holloway America today announced an addition to its website: a comprehensive database of material test reports (MTRs) for all pressure vessels and tank parts the company designs and fabricates. Documenting test results is particularly important for equipment that must meet ASME, CE, PED, NR-13 and other regulations. The MTR Library features search functionality that allows authorized users to quickly locate and download copies of their original MTRs. HOLLOWAY Director of Marketing Randy Colwell believes the website update will benefit busy clients. "We're always striving to improve our reputation for unparalleled service," Colwell stated. "Ensuring immediate access to MTRs when the need arises is another way to save our clients time and effort."
As a leader in pressure vessel design and fabrication, HOLLOWAY has thousands of material tests reports for large and small projects. To date, the MTR Library houses 9,150 files—2.27 GB of data. Colwell and other HOLLOWAY leaders collaborated directly with the company's website design and development agency to establish a simple, efficient search process before the agency built the online library. The database features a comprehensive indexing system for MTRs. This system allows authorized personnel to search for an MTR by entering the document file number, which HOLLOWAY representatives provided the client when delivering the product. The system responds by displaying a downloadable d

So consumers don't just experience it, they live it. Transport them with the visual story. Put them on the sand. In the sun. Whatever the environment, we can make it happen.
Get your consumers so engaged they perspire. RZRShop's Kinect-driven beach soccer game is a dual-screen experience that gives retail associates the tools they need to connect with consumers.

Girls ripping their mouthes trying to suck the huge dicks!
and mouthes ripping on the pictures?
Wanna some REAL action now?
Continue to our main site now:
You won't believe when girls loose
their mind and trying to put the big cocks in their pussy,
ripping their assholes and doing hardcore anal fucking!
And asking for more and more BIG COCK!!
Part of a story 4:
Watching women masturbate in public
was erotic and thrilling all at the same time. Patrick walked up to a woman
who was
sunbathing in her back yard, ostensibly to ask her for directions. What he really did was give her the eye, and then ask her to reach
down inside her bikini and rub her vagina for him. While she was masturbating, he asked her all sorts of intimate questions about
her sex life. When she was about ready to cum he had her describe how she sucked off her husbands big cock! He then knelt
down beside her and slipped his cock into her mouth and quickly ejaculated a load down her throat! He reached inside her bikini
and gave her pussy a fast fingering, inducing one more quick hard orgasm. A few moments later he off down the street, leaving the
poor woman dazed and confused!

A story from CNSNews reveals that the U.S. Department of State has once again undertaken the dubious task of trying to reform Islam to fit the department's international agenda. According to an August 10 report released by the State Department and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), 450 imams were the target of the most recent effort, which aimed to combat "gender-based violence" which has been linked to Islam.
Word of the new State Department program came to light roughly two years after the department was engaged in a public controversy centered on the Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, who was engaged in an effort to build an Islamic center near the site of the September 11, 2001, attack in New York City. On August 10, 2010, a story for FoxNews.com ("Group: State Department Is Wrong to Sponsor Imam Trip"), the State Department was busy paying for a junket which would take Rauf to several Middle Eastern countries:
The State Department confirmed Tuesday that the administration is sponsoring Feisal Abdul Rauf's trip to Qatar, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, which is described as part of a program to send Muslims abroad to educate other countries about the role of religion in the United States. Rauf made similar trips during the Bush administration.
Rauf and his partners are preparing to build a $100 million Islamic center and mosque near Ground Zero, the site of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks that left nearly 3,000 dead.
Plans for Rauf's junket at the expense of American taxpayers led to protests from the American Center for Law and Justice; the organization's chief counsel, Jay Sekulow, was quoted by FoxNews as noting the offensive character of the State Department's action during the midst of the Ground Zero Mosque controversy: "This shows a tremendous lack of judgment on behalf of the State Department; and for the American taxpayers to be funding this global journey is not only wrong, but deeply offensive … It seems with each passing day we learn more disturbing information about this project and the people behind it. We demand that the State Department put a halt to the Imam's participation in this publicly funded trip."

Gouverneurs Brian Leonard was reunited with his college coach at Rutgers University, Greg Schiano, on Monday as he became a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Bucs will be Leonards third NFL team in seven years after enjoying a standout career at Rutgers University under Schiano who led the Bucs to a 7-9 record last season.
Several media outlets reported that Leonard was leaving the Cinncinati Bengals in signing a one-year contact as a free agent with the Bucs.
According the Tampa Bay Times, Leonard will contend with D.J. Ware for the role of a third-down back. In two years with the St. Louis Rams and four years with the Bengals, Leonard distinguished himself as a versatile running back-fullback with the proven ability pick up first downs as a runner and a pass receiver.
Last season he averaged 3.1 yards per run and 7.3 yards per catch with the Bengals where he was also valued for his play on special teams.
Leonard, who hosts a summer football camp at SUNY Potsdam, commented about the signing on his Twitter account on Monday.
Had a great run with Bengals, thanks for the last four years, he tweeted.

New Year Disresolution
Wow, the holidays really left me dog tired….but I am rested and refreshed and ready for 2012. It is a great deal for a growing dog to take in…but i am ready for the challenge. (i am so new to this blog stuff that i am going to be more like an ee cummings of capitalization…the paws have trouble with the shift key.)
First of all, i want to say that i think that New Year's resolutions are lame. But, i think that i need to make some New Year's Promises at least, because the Red Sox have bestowed me with the honor of being the official service dog. Here's a start: I will vow to step up to the plate (and use more baseball metaphors but not acknowledge them) and make sure that I help to spread the word of the magic of collaboration between a sports team and a young service dog. Of course I am charged with illustrating the symbolism of a dog's convening power, door opening, and overall diplomacy through personal contact and social media…. wait, what? Maybe it is better for me to just write about my experiences and let you all sort it out organically.
Second, i will be reporting more frequently because i will be linked to Red Sox websites. I will try to use shorter, easier to follow sentences…dogs often get distracted. if you want to read people prose you can try another site.
Here is what you can look forward to, or avoid reading about over the next week as i give you a retrospective of my December activities in Boston. These include: reading the Grinch Who Stole Christmas to some great kids for ReadBoston event with Mayor Menino (i sat, he read); a trip on a bus with some Red Sox players where we visited Boston Medical Center, Mass General Children's Hospital, and had lunch with veterans. More to come.
thanks for reading,
Fenway the Dog

"TIGA," the new high-tech imaging center at the University of Heidelberg founded in cooperation with the Japanese company Hamamatsu, provides deep insights: a high-tech robot makes it possible for the first time to automatically reproduce and evaluate tissue slices only micromillimeters thick an important aid for researchers in understanding cancer or in following in detail the effect of treatment on cells and tissue.
The Hamamatsu Tissue Imaging and Analysis (TIGA) Center is a cooperative effort between the Institutes of Pathology and of Medical Biometry and Informatics at the University of Heidelberg and the Japanese company Hamamatsu Photonics. In addition, it belongs to BIOQUANT, the research center for quantitative biology at the University of Heidelberg. At its core is the imaging robot "NanoZoomer" from Hamamatsu Photonics: the robot scans the tissue slices and displays them on the monitor for researchers at ultra high resolution and in various planes.
"Technically, this has brought the fully automatic evaluation of tissue changes and approaches for new therapy within our grasp," states Professor Dr. Peter Schirmacher, Director of the Institute for Pathology at Heidelberg University Hospital. This would represent a new milestone in pathology.
Detailed images help understand diseases
Which proteins are formed to a greater degree in cancer cells? How is tumor tissue changed during radiation treatment? Thanks to the NanoZoomer's high-resolution images and special evaluation programs, researchers in the future will be able to evaluate tissue and cell samples more quickly and accurately and gain important new insights for therapy tailored to the individual patient, for example for breast cancer.
In the future, the robot will be able to determine changes in cells and tissue fully automatically. "The NanoZoomer represents a quantum leap in tissue research," says Dr. Niels Grabe of the Institute f

Churches get roped into the first lady's obesity crusade.
Apr 11, 2011, Vol. 16, No. 29 • By MEGHAN CLYNE
This approach is a marked departure from the original purpose of the White House faith-based initiative. Launched at the outset of President George W. Bush's first term, the initiative was largely intended to allow religious entities to compete on an equal footing with secular ones for grants to deliver social services. When it came to treating addicts, rehabilitating prisoners, mentoring children, sheltering the homeless, and, yes, feeding the hungry, the Bush administration argued that faith-based organizations often had better records of efficiency and compassion than government programs. But rather than reducing the public's dependence on government-run programs by empowering faith-based organizations, this White House seems to view churches, synagogues, and so on as tools to increase reliance on programs designed in Washington.
"They're turning this on its head," said Rev. Richard Land, who handles public policy for the Southern Baptist Convention. The wisdom of the original faith-based initiative—about which he was initially skeptical, Land explains—was "to have people who live in a zip code making the decisions about what are the best ways to alleviate the problem in that zip code," rather than being pushed to follow some federal initiative. Under the Obama administration, Land said, "the White House says what your priorities should be." He added, "If Bush had proposed what Obama has proposed, they would have been putting Prozac in the water at the ACLU."
Requests for on-the-record comment from the faith-based office at the Department of Health and Human Services brought no response. But one defender of the Obamas' plan—New York state senator Rubén Díaz Sr., a Democrat from the South Bronx and an evangelical pastor—says that clergy have an obligation to use their influence to do "anything that will benefit the lives of our people," including combating childhood obesity. Though Díaz says he doesn't "want this to be used as a political platform," he believes "churches are better than anybody to do these things."
But even if Díaz is right, is the Obamas' approach the best way to involve churches in the fight against childhood obesity and poor nutrition? After all, any group of people can organize an exercise club, host a farmers' market, or teach a cooking class. And government already spends millions of dollars every year just getting people signed up for welfare benefits. Having churches do this work makes sense only if one views them as a particularly effective instrument of community organizing—as the Obamas seem to.
This view, however, fails to recognize what is so powerful about houses of worship and to understand their unique role in the lives of the faithful and the nation. Churches—unlike secular civic groups or government programs—speak to Americans about temptation and temperance, sin and redemption, repentance and love. Without apology, the various faiths and denominations, each in its own way, present to their followers a coherent vision of a well-ordered life—whether they focus on character, will power, and self-discipline or on God's grace as the way to achieve it. Over thousands of years, religious institutions have held out spiritual renewal as the predicate to turning lives around; they alone can preach a message of personal transformation.
And this, more than any sustainable garden, is what's required to keep American kids at a healthy weight. Many of the places where childhood obesity is most prevalent—poor urban neighborhoods, African-American and Hispanic communities—are also those that have been most devastated by the breakdown of the family. The behavior patterns that contribute to childhood obesity—lack of supervision, too many meals eaten outside the home, a dearth of physical activity—are related to a shortage of adult attention and investment in children's health and good habits. The evidence suggests that keeping families intact and having parents take more responsibility for their children are beneficial to children's health.

Carly Ellender (1) and Ashley Gussoni (1) also scored for the Ragin' Cajuns (1-2-2) who gave the Lady Demons (0-4-0) their third shutout this season.
Schmidt (2, 3, 4) scored the match's first goal in the 16th minute on a give-and-go from Shelby Isley. The game was pushed to 2-0 on the goal from Carly Ellender on a cross from MacKenzie Higgnins.
"We did a much better job of keeping the ball the first half then we have before, however, we still gave up two goals in the first half," said head coach George Van Linder. "For the second half, we decided to change tactics completely and go for it."
NSU kept pace with Louisiana-Lafayette in the second half in shots taken (11-10) and had four corner kicks while the Cajuns had none.
"We had more shots and more corner kicks the second half, but we still were porous in the back," said Van Linder. "As the head coach I have to accept the responsibility for this decision, the players gave everything they could. I took the gamble and it failed."
Schmidt scored her second and third goals of the game in the 59th and 62nd minutes, respectively. Her second goal was on a one-timer from Yazmin Montoya, and her third was unassisted.
Gussoni scored the fifth and final goal of the game on her own rebound in the 75th minute.
Shelby Balmer led the Lady Demons with four shots, two on-goal, and Chandler Mason followed that with two, one on-goal. Jackie Strug, Brooke Eastburg, Johanna Sigvardsson, Chelsea Schaefer, Louise Enberg, Nikki Saunders, and Jade Theriot also added shots in the match.
Jessica Danku (0-3-0) played the entire match between the pipes, and allowed five goals and had five saves.
The Lady Demons wrap-up their five game road stint next weekend with trips to Jackson State and Louisiana-Monroe.

Written Answers - ESB Charges.
Tuesday, 11 March 2003
Dáil Eireann Debate
371. Mr. J. O'Keeffe asked the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources if his attention has been drawn to the exorbitant charges being quoted by the ESB for connection to the national grid to the developers of wind farms (details supplied); and the steps he will take to ensure that the ESB facilitates the development of green energy. [7222/03]
Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources (Mr. D. Ahern): I have no statutory function in relation to the specific terms and conditions of grid connection agreements. Section 34 (6) of the Electricity Regulation Act 1999 (No. 23 of 1999), as last amended, provides that in the event of a dispute with either ESB Networks or ESB National Grid over connection charges, the applicant may apply to the Commission for Energy Regulation for a determination on the matter and that the Commission's decision is binding.

BEHIND THE BARS with Kierstin Kloeckner
Hill Climbing 101
Kierstin Kloeckner
Thursday, June 05, 2014 12:35 PM
If embrace rather than fear hill climbing, you can enjoy terrain such as this, the Coll de Soller in Mallorca, Spain, where the author and her husband, Markham Dunn (pictured) biked this past spring. PHOTO BY KIERSTIN KLOECKNER
As the song goes, "The hills are alive with the sound of music!" Or was that just the sound of me wheezing up another killer climb in the driftless area of southwest Wisconsin?
Many years ago, I was a flatlander. Born and raised in Minneapolis, the only big climbs to be found were on the way out of downtown St. Paul on Ramsey Street and Summit Avenue or climbing out of
Fort Snelling State Park
. I remember my coaches calling for hill repeats, something that always sent shivers up my spine. I hated hills. With my short femurs, large quads and abundant fast twitch muscles, I was built for sprints. Put me on a hill and I'd explode, and not in the good way.
Fast forward to 2001, when my husband and I first landed in Madison, Wisconsin. That summer, I was forced to deal with my demons by riding west of town. Although I often rode with my husband, I preferred riding alone since he was a much stronger climber (he's built like a Basque) and I still had that competitive thing going on which made me hate him for outperforming me on every ride.
Slowly, as the years passed, I began to enjoy climbing. I think it was our stints living in the hills of Connecticut that did it. There, I didn't have a choice. Each day my ride into work was a four-mile descent to the river, which of course meant a four-mile climb home. I could choose to yell, scream and swear every day or get over it and embrace what climbing could offer.
Along with the change of "accepting" hills came a change in my body. I began to lose the ability to sprint and my endurance began to improve. No, I still don't have a "climber's body," but I stopped relying on my quads to do all the work and started using these magnificent things called glutes. By learning how to activate the appropriate climbing muscles, I also lowered the number of days my knees hurt post ride.
Embrace elevation gain
As a trainer and cycling coach, I am constantly urging clients who don't like hills to give them another shot. After all, is riding through flat cornfields day after day really that much fun? By learning to embrace climbing, a whole new world opens up.
Sure, it may be uncomfortable for a few moments – or hours, depending on where the climb is – but look at the pay off: By riding the hills, you often get spectacular views of the surrounding countryside. Climbs usually require a few twists and turns which can open up onto postcard worthy valleys and farms. There is most certainly a great sense of accomplishment after a difficult climb and you get to fly (or coast) down the other side.
I don't know about you, but when I ride flats for hours on end, I actually feel more tired since I'm never able to stop pedaling without stopping. On the backside of hills, I get a few moments to catch my breath and act like a kid whooping and hollering all the way down. Those moments of elation prep my mind and body for the climbs ahead.
Tips to the top
So here's the deal. I'm going to let you in on a few training secrets on how to improve your climbing skills. By following these few easy steps, you, too, will be on your way to seeking out bigger hills.
1) Change your outlook on hills. If you don't like 'em now, going into them with a sense of dread won't help you. I'm not asking you to switch your mindset completely in one day. Just don't beat yourself up over them. Take a deep breath, be nice to yourself and take on each hill one pedal stroke at a time.
2) Learn to love your granny gears. If you have knee issues, get a triple chain ring. If not, at least move to a compact. Very few people actually like pushing huge gears up hills. Not only is it not fun, but, if you aren't trained for it, you will suffer later, too, from sore knees and lower back pain.
3) For long slow climbs, scoot back in the saddle a bit. This will allow you to activate those ever-important glutes I was talking about earlier. Glutes are bigger, stronger and have more muscle endurance than quads, so use them. If a climb is short and steep, feel free to either ride the nose of the saddle for power or get out of the saddle and "dance" up the hill. Either way, try to keep your cadence up. This may seem difficult in the beginning, but you'll preserve energy for the next climb.
4) Open up your chest. I've seen lots of climbers pull so hard on the handlebars (I do this, too, especially when tires) that they make their chest concave and can't get enough air into their lungs. By keeping the chest open and proud and the arms a bit relaxed, you'll not only climb better but you'll also help prevent injuries to the neck, shoulders, lower back and hip flexors.
5) Train during the off-season for hill climbing by strengthening your glutes and core. Limbs aren't meant to do the work climbing hills (or sprinting, for that matter). If your abdominals, back, glutes and ab/adductors (inner and outer thighs) are strong, you'll not only be able to climb better, you will prevent injuries.
I find doing simple planks, front and side, as well as back bridges, to be some of the best exercises out there for core strengthening. For glutes, multi directional lunges, body weight squats and a few plyometrics, do the job nicely. If you aren't a fan of these exercises or need more direction, yoga and pilates classes work wonders.
6) So if you end up falling in love with hills, and I'm hoping you will, don't ride them every day if you can help it. It's fine to hit some rollers on each ride, but throw in a few flatter days to balance things out. Just like everything else, there can be too much of a good thing.
Get thee to the hills
Okay. So there you have it. Hill Climbing 101. Now if you're reading this surrounded by some of the Midwest's flatlands, it's time for a road trip.
1) Get yourself to the driftless area of Wisconsin, Iowa or Minnesota. This region is my favorite riding destination in the world, hands down. You may think I'm joking, but it's what keeps me in the Midwest. While moving around the world and biking in each place I lived, I have never felt so connected to a riding area more than here. My all-time favorite routes are around Viroqua, Westby, Soldiers Grove and Trempealeau.
2) Brown County, Indiana. Yes, there are hills in Indiana.
3) The interior of Bayfield and Washburn counties. Along the lake you won't find big climbs, but if you head inland ... Hoo boy.
4) Southern Iowa. Ask anyone who has ridden the Southern section of the
or Trans-Iowa and they will tell you about the endless rollers that await you.

Salinas store robbed at gunpoint
The Quik Mart at 154 W. Market St. was robbed about 1 p.m. today when a man dressed in black threatened the clerk with a gun and demanded money, Salinas police said. The robber left with an undisclosed amount of cash and was last seen running to the rear of the business, police said. Officers said their investigation is continuing.
Castroville man pleads no contest to drug, gang charges
Noziel Delgado Mendoza, 18, of Castroville, has pleaded no contest to possessing a controlled substance for sale, a felony, and actively participating in a criminal street gang, a felony and strike offense, the Monterey County District Attorney's office said today.
Mendoza is scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 7 by Judge Larry Hayes. Mendoza will be required to register as a gang member and narcotics offender. The charges carry a maximum sentence of four years and eight months in prison, the DA's office said.
On Aug. 26, a Monterey County sheriff's deputy contacted Mendoza and other members of the Norteno criminal street gang, prosecutors said. The deputy found 16 bindles of cocaine on Mendoza's person, prosecutors said. During a search of Mendoza's residence, law enforcement officials said they discovered numerous items of gang indicia.
Prosecutors: Propane mislabeling led to shortened grilling time
The district attorneys of Monterey, Alameda, Fresno, San Joaquin, Santa Clara, Sonoma and Ventura counties announced today they have settled an unlawful business practices case against the companies that market and sell "Blue Rhino" and "AmeriGas," the two largest brands of propane cylinder exchange in the United States. Blue Rhino and Amerigas sell pre-filled propane tanks to retailers, who in turn sell them to consumers for use with barbecues and camping equipment.
In 2008, facing rising fuel cost, the companies reduced the volume of propane in their tanks from 17 pounds down to 15 pounds but did not reduce the price per tank, the Monterey County DA's office said. Although the correct weight was displayed on the tanks' label, the tanks were locked in metal "cages" before purchase, so consumers did not see the labels, could not handle the tanks, and assumed they were filled to their safe capacity. In addition, signs referred to the reduced-content tanks as "full" which was inaccurate. The reduction of gas in the tanks shortened the grilling time by between 1 and 1.5 hours.
The settlement resolves the prosecutors' civil complaint filed in Alameda County Superior Court alleging the companies violated California consumer protection and false advertising laws. Under the terms of the judgment, the Blue Rhino companies will pay a total of $1 million in civil penalties and costs, and the AmeriGas companies will pay a total of $800,000.00 in civil penalties and costs. In addition, without admitting or denying any wrongdoing, the companies will be bound by an injunction requiring they post notices on their enclosures explaining to consumers the actual quantity of propane in the tank.

Corvallis, OR Oct 27, 2009-10-27
Three Oregon musicians in their mid-fifties are proving that it's never too late to pursue your passion, and that sometimes, when you focus on having fun, great things happen. With the attitude that "50 is the new 30," they believe their band Gumbo has the magic to do just that.
Their debut album, "Never Tell Me to Quit," available online from Amazon, CD Baby and Itunes, is a testament to their focus and spirit of fun and passion. Evidently their recipe is working because Gumbo is already drawing attention from listeners around the country.
Locally, Gumbo is stepping out of their home base in Corvallis for much-anticipated performances at Cozmic Pizza in Eugene November 5, and at Mississippi Pizza Pub in Portland on November 15. Gumbo will also be opening for the headliner, Misty River, at the Winter Folk Festival January 23 in Florence.
Sid Beam, Joe Casprowiak, David Fournier, and Dave Feinberg of Corvallis, Oregon, have been musicians and friends for more than four decades. In 2004, Beam decided he had put his songwriting ideas off long enough, and an explosion of creativity began pouring forth. He bumped into his friend and multi-instrumentalist Casprowiak on the street, and invited him to begin performing the new material locally. He invited bass-player Fournier into the mix, and the band 'Gumbo' was born. Although he's not an 'official' member of Gumbo, piano player Dave Feinberg supports them at most of their performances, and contributes his considerable talent to every track on "Never Tell Me to Quit," released by Wild Rose Artists.
As young men, they married, started careers, raised children, kept the bills paid, and continued to play music. Today, Casprowiak and Fournier work for technology companies, while Beam owns a sign shop and Feinberg teaches dance at Oregon State University.
Songs from the album are getting good reviews and significant radio play on Americana and Folk radio stations across the country, and Gumbo is rapidly gaining International fans on Internet radio stations like Jango.com. "These times call for fun, happy music" says Casprowiak. "We aspire to play music and put on shows where everyone has fun and the happy music stays with you for days."
The fledgling independent record label, Wild Rose Artists believes Gumbo's talent and energy will have wide appeal. "It was actually quite risky", says Theodore Wadman, president of Wild Rose Artists, "but Sid's compositions and the band's delivery is so unique. Why not launch a band in their 50s if you really love the music and fans really love their show? Americana music is definitely on the upswing right now and these guys are at the top of their game."
"This is an unusual move, but it is truly a privilege to be working with Gumbo at the most creative time in their lives" says Kira Wadman, producer. "The fact that we stumbled into their lives at this point in their careers is just part of the adventure. Had I met them 20 or 30 years ago, I doubt that all of the essential elements would have been as perfectly ripened as they are."
The late blooming aspect was highlighted in a recent review on the music site 'Cover Lay Down'. The album review is titled 'Old and in the Groove' and the entire review can be read online at the Cover Lay Down website.
While the majority of Gumbo's fans are in the Boomer age group, the band attracts younger enthusiasts too. Mike Bazanele—an avid Eugene fan in his mid-twenties says, "Just picked up your album, and was promptly whisked back in time to before I was born. This music makes me nostalgic for a time I never knew."
Writing about an instrumental track on Gumbo's debut album, Micheal Fagan, founder and editor-in-chief of the music magazine, JAZZIZ, says, "Whether someone likes folk, new acoustic, smooth, trad, instrumentals, vocals; there's no better track than your "Walt's Waltz". It's absolutely beautiful, great execution and timeless. It's the kind of song that makes our readers pick up the (JAZZIZ) CD packaging and say "who's that?"
Gumbo's original songs are written by Beam. In an interview video on YouTube video titled 'Never Tell Me to Quit' the members of Gumbo call their music 'swing'. It is also known as 'Folk', 'Americana', and 'Gypsy Jazz', but no matter what it's called, the infectious sound makes you smile and feel the passion and magic that Gumbo's members bring to their art.

Adding yet another messy complication to the mix, the NORC General Social Survey in 2004-2005 included an exact wording of the original Gallup question on human origins. Surprisingly, this replication elicited a noticeably smaller percentage of respondents (42 percent) who said they believed that "God created man pretty much in his present form within the last 10,000 years" as compared to more recent Gallup replications in 2004 and 2006 (45-46 percent). Just 12 percent of the respondents in the NORC-GSS appeared, as in most previous Gallup polls, to endorse the evolutionist position that "man has developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life. God had no part in this process." But, curiously, when asked in the very next question whether they believed that it was either definitely or probably "true" that "Human beings developed from earlier species of animals," nearly half said yes!
This figure suggests there may be three to four times as many American adults who accept the basic premise of the theory of evolution than is typically indicated by the standard Gallup question on human origins.
Furthermore, various polling organizations have asked this last question, which is an exact replicate of the item currently asked in the National Science Foundation project, Public Attitudes and Understanding of Science and Technology (PAUST). With one notable exception (2001) and minor variations in wording, the trend, shown in Figure 7, looks remarkably stable.
On average (using the median), the percentage endorsing the proposition that "human beings, as we know them today, developed from earlier species of animals" has hovered around 45 percent for the past twenty years. How different an impression of the American public this gives us as compared to the standard Gallup polls of the same era—a result most likely due to differences in mass media coverage favoring press releases via the commercial medium of the Gallup News Service.
Yet another permutation of the question by the Democracy Corps Poll in October 2005 pitted a PAUST-like alternative about human origins—"Humans evolved from earlier species"—against a Gallup-like creationist alternative, "God created humans in their present form." Presenting these polar alternatives, however, made the American public look lopsidedly creationist, with 60 percent choosing the biblical stance.
As a final installment, consider the variation of the human origins question asked by the Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) in its Life Sciences Survey of September 2005. In this case, the question, shown in Figure 9, made no mention whatsoever of the origin of "human life," referring instead to the origin of "biological life":
This sanitizing of the question made but a modest difference. Including a mention of God produced results resembling earlier Gallup polls on human origins, with more than four out of ten respondents telling interviewers they believed "God directly created biological life in its present form at one point in time." Only about a fourth of them, however, subscribed to the theistic-evolutionist notion that "Biological life developed over time from simple substances, but God guided this process." A notable portion also thought that "biological life developed over time from simple substances, but God did not guide this process." So, by characterizing it as "biological life" rather than "human life," the VCU experiment may have reduced, somewhat, resistance to the theory of evolution.
All of this goes to show how easily what Americans appear to believe about human origins can be readily manipulated by how the question is asked. As we have seen, depending on the wording of the question the percentage of apparent biblical creationists can vary from as little as 42 percent to as high as 64 percent; the percentage of theistic evolutionists or believers in "intelligent design" from as much as 41 percent to as little as 10-18 percent; and the percentage of Darwinist or naturalistic evolutionists, from as low as 10-13 percent to as high as 33-46 percent.
What are we to conclude from these messy results about something as supposedly fundamental as Americans' religious beliefs about the role of God in creating human life? Are Americans poles apart on this perennial "culture war" question, as some would have us believe, or merely polls apart? American public opinion on this matter would seem to be a lot more malleable than we have heretofore suspected.

Alton Towers planning luxury tree houses as part of expansion
Posted: March 13, 2014|
THRILL-seeking families could soon sleep in fairytale-inspired tree houses planned as part of a theme park's expansion.
The Alton Towers Resort in Staffordshire is applying to build 10 luxury tree houses and 61 unique holiday lodges as part of efforts to increase its foothold in the short-break holiday market, park bosses said.
Each tree house will sleep up to eight people, and will be equipped with hot tubs on an outdoor terrace.
An artist's impression depicting how the wooden buildings might look has been released alongside the planning application, showing some of the tree houses sporting pointed turret-type roofs.
Related content
The location of the planned expansion, which also includes a new restaurant, is on what is currently undeveloped land next to the site's existing hotel complex, which neighbours the main theme park housing rides like Rita, Air and Nemesis.
Merlin Entertainments, which owns the theme park and other UK attractions including Thorpe Park, Madame Tussauds and Blackpool Tower, has said the project could create about 140 new full and part-time jobs in the area.
Mark Kerrigan, the resort's development director, said: "The proposed new development will consist of 61 uniquely themed, individually styled lodges and 10 luxury tree houses that will further enhance our position as a short-break holiday resort."
He added: "Tourism represents a £1.8 billion industry to Staffordshire and we want to be part of the ongoing growth of that figure through our planned future development.
"It's a very exciting concept for us and one that we believe will create real opportunities for the surrounding area.
"Further accommodation has been in our Long Term Plan since 2009 and we've worked incredibly hard over the past 20 years with Staffordshire county tourism to grow the appeal of Staffordshire as a holiday location, resulting in an increase in the overnight stay market volumes of 21% from 2008-2012.
"We firmly believe therefore given the overall increase in this wider short breaks market there is ample opportunity for both the resort and the local area to benefit from our even more focused positioning as a two or three-day destination."
The application will now be determined by planners at Staffordshire Moorlands District Council.

This vegan version of Homemade Macaroni and Cheese is creamy, delicious, and healthy. The secret to getting a bright yellow color without scary food coloring is pureed butternut squash, which sneaks in without any problems thanks to a little help from Daiya and Nutritional Yeast- nobody will know it's in there (promise!). This dish is creamy, satisfying, and worth the effort.
4 cups cubed peeled butternut squash (about 1 1/2 pounds squash)
3 1/2 c Dairy free milk alternative (homemade or commercial, we like Vance's darifree plain)
3 Tbsp (about 3 oz or 85g) Better Batter Gluten Free Flour
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 c Daiya Brand Cheese Alternative
1/4 c nutritional yeast (make sure your brand is gluten free)
1 pound Rizopia or Tinkyada elbows, cooked (keep warm).
4 Tbsp dairy free margarine (we like Earth Balance)
In a microwave or steamer, steam butternut squash until soft (about 5-10 minutes). Place into a food processor or blender and blend until smooth.
In a large saucepan, whisk together pureed squash, and milk alternative until smooth. Whisk in Better Batter Gluten Free Flour, salt, pepper, Daiya and nurtitional yeast. Place pan on burner and head over medium heat until Daiya melts and sauce thickens and sauce is hot, about 5 minutes.
Stir in pasta and immediately stir in non dairy margarine, stirring until butter melts.
Serve immediately. Serves 4 as a side dish.

Kathmandu: Tournament favourites DPR Korea easily disposed off Palestine 2-0 in the second semi-final of the AFC Challenge Cup on Friday after Turkmenistan had already booked a final berth as well.
Pak Kwang-ryong's brace, with goals in the 41st minute and the 69th minute, gave the defending champions an easy win against Group A runners-up Palestine. DPR Korea's defence was strong once again too, as they maintained a perfect record of scoring 10 goals in 4 matches.
It was pretty dull in the opening ten minutes or so, as both teams started cautiously, testing each other and probing for weaknesses. The only chance during this time came for the Koreans but Pak Kwang-ryong could not properly direct his header, which flew high and wide over the bar.
A surprising move by Yun Jong-su, the DPR Korea coach, saw Jang Kuk-chol replacing striker Jang Myong-il in just the 16th minute of the match. This did little, however, to alter the pattern of the match and it was only in the 25th minute that the defending champions had another goal-scoring chance, with Jang heading Pak Nam-chol's cross wide before Pak himself saw his long range piledriver go just wide of the left post.
Finally the Koreans piled on concentrated pressure and took charge of the game.
The goal came just three minutes from the break, and the Chollima got their deserved lead as Pak picked up the rebound that had come to him off the crossbar and made no mistake to bury the shot at the back of the net.
The second half saw the Koreans in cruise control. In the 67th minute, it was Pak Nam-chol whose well-taken corner was headed goalwards by An Yong-hak, only to be cleared off the line by a Palestine defence under all kinds of pressure.
Finally the decisive second goal which all but sealed the tie came just two minutes later from the always-available Pak Kwang-ryong, as he took advantage of shambolic defending by the Lions and dodged the onrushing goalie with gusto and gladly put the ball into the empty net to score his and his team's second of the day, to put them through to the finale against the Turks.

Today is Arbor Day in the Bluegrass State. Kentucky tends to conjure up images of rolling hills and miles of green space. But the Commonwealth has a lot of green in its population centers as well.
Kentucky's Division of Forestry has a great website extolling the benefits of urban forestry, noting that while many think of forests as being predominately rural in nature, one-half of Kentuckians live in an urban forest environment. Frankfort, the state's capital pictured on the right, is heavily forested.
Increased tourism, reduced energy use and carbon dioxide emissions and community pride are among the benefits of urban forestry cited by Kentucky officials.
A number of communities across Kentucky commemorating their 10th and 20th consecutive years as a Tree City USA today.
Last year, the Arbor Day Foundation recognized Charles D. Williams of Munfordville, Kentucky, with a Good Steward Award. Williams, known as "Tree Man" to neighbors and friends, has planted trees on his 929-acre farm every Good Friday since 1976.
Later this month, the Foundation will announce that Dr. James Middleton, a friend of Williams and a fellow Munfordville resident, will receive the 2012 Good Steward Award.
The State of Kentucky is currently home to 28 Tree City USA communities, accounting for 1.5 million people. The largest Tree City USA community in Kentucky is Louisville, population 721,500; the smallest is Nazareth, population 300.
