1: SCF Organic Farms
If you had a choice between average nutrition and optimum nutrition, which would you choose? Optimum, right? If you want optimum nutrition and you live in central South Carolina, you want to get your vegetables from SCF Organic Farms (aka Sumter Cooperative Farms). Heritage vegetables adapted to South Carolina, grown organically and without irrigation, picked fresh, with all of the available vitamins, minerals, and nutrients still intact. That's optimum nutrition the way SCF Organic Farms does it. To meet the farmers, learn about the land, and discover their exceptional products, read on....
The People
When you walk the fields with Azeez Mustafa, it is all about Abundance. To listen to him share his knowledge from 30 years of "reading the land" as a sustainable farmer you quickly understand that Mother Earth does offer us more than enough, more than what we all need or want – if we can only remember how to cultivate our own place in her garden. Sumter Cooperative Farms, the first certified organic farm in South Carolina, is about cultivating Abundance. Abundance for individuals, Abundance for communities, and Abundance for all living things.
Azeez and Fatiyyah Mustafa and their son Shaheed learned to cultivate their place in the garden during years of homesteading in the woods of Sumter County in the 1970's. "You start to learn from nature and creation" says Azeez. Listening and learning from native plants and animals all around them, the family cultivated an intuitive understanding how the cycle of life supports itself as a natural design. The message they impart to others in their words and their practice is clear: any of us who garden or farm are designers working with the cycle of life. They came to see that so many people in their community, their country, and around the world are malnourished, starving, and suffering from illnesses that result from a broken food system driven by industrialization and profit. People are surrounded by natural Abundance, but we are living in place of scarcity and disconnection from the land.
They saw that we are born into a myth that tells us we cannot feed ourselves, our communities, or the world without an industrial food and farming system completely dependent on corporations supplying large amounts of water, chemical fertilizers and pesticides, migrant labor, genetically-modified seeds (GMO), fossil fuel-driven equipment, and a massive global distribution system, all heavily subsidized by our own tax dollars. In the food they provide and the workshops they offer, Sumter Cooperative Farms lets us know that it is time to wake up from the myth, back into the natural truth of Abundance.
In creating Sumter Cooperative Farms, Azeez and his family offer Abundance in everything they do. They have united and trained a group of more a dozen local African American farmers to work together with over 100 acres of certified organic farmland growing the best food possible for their community, and teaching others how to be more self-reliant and grow their own. Farmers like Kenneth and Rose Pack, who were growing conventionally before joining SCF and getting on their lives and their 40 acres of land on the organic path. SCF leads by example: Grow heritage seeds from vegetables that are adapted to your bioregion – diverse, open pollinated seeds that have been diligently saved and passed on by many generations of healthy people who lived well without much money; Use organic, dry farming methods that work with the land and climate and their natural capacity to nurture these seeds; Use plants instead of chemicals to build the soils; Know how medicinal herbs can help keep us from depending on the pharmaceutical industry that profits off of the sickness caused by the companies profiting off of our broken food system; Buy the most nutrient-dense, just-picked organic produce offered by SCF – it's the best health plan there is; Learn once again how we can feed ourselves and each other at the community level. These are among the reasons why Azeez has been awarded a Sustainable Farmer of the Year award by the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association, why SCF's more than 25 varieties of organic produce is distributed to dozens of farmers' markets, natural grocers, farm-to-table chefs, and wholesalers in the South Carolina Midlands and beyond, and why SCF's workshops have successfully reached over 1,000 people eager to learn how to take back control of their food and their health. "People need to study the land again" says Azeez. "You're a nobleman when you farm or garden. Everything in nature farms. It helps you be a better human being – humble, respectful. Organic farming isn't expensive if you reverse the psychology – with the right seeds and methods we can save the world, our communities, and ourselves.
The Land
The land worked by Sumter Cooperative Farms resonates with Abundance. While neighboring farmers are spraying their fields with chemical "biocides" to kill all life in the soil and render it dead as dirt, SCF is building living soils and working with Mother Nature. Each Spring, the Cooperative's farmers seed their fields with "green manure" crops and "cover crops" like clover and buckwheat to naturally build healthy, fertile, living soils and fix nitrogen while outcompeting weeds. Once these crops have done their job they are tilled under to add organic matter in preparation for food crops.
The Sumter area is blessed with having the right combination of conditions for farmers who are committed supporting a thriving local food system. The soils are productive "Inner Coastal Plain" soils that combine sandy and loamy conditions that drain well yet hold moisture and nutrients. Sumter is a largely rural county lying squarely within Zone 8a on the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map, which means a long growing season (average extreme low temperatures in winter reach 10 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit) and limited window of potential freezing conditions. When combined with good access to strong markets for local produce in Columbia and Charleston, and relatively affordable land prices (productive farmland averages $2,000 - $4,000 per acre) Sumter is a veritable "sweet spot" for sustainable agriculture.
The Products
From early Spring well into Fall, the farmer-members of Sumter Cooperative Farms plant, nurture, and harvest row after row of some of the most delicious, nutritious, and beautiful vegetables grown anywhere. Azeez, Fattiyah, Shaheed, Kenneth, Rose and other farmer-members carefully select vegetable varieties from saved seeds that have proven themselves over time in the South Carolina Low Country since the early 1800's: crowder peas, calico pea, shanty pea, sea island red peas (the original pea for the traditional New Year's dish Hoppin' John); Carolina red butterbean; Choppee okra. In Spring, SCF grows row after row of hearty, healthy greens with many more starting in the hoop house – Asian greens like Bok Choy, Tat Soi, and Mizuna resist insects and don't need much water. Any given summer they'll grow enough heritage watermelon (sweet and WITH seeds, please!) and collard greens to feed every school child in the region – that is, IF school cafeterias offered fresh, local, organic produce (you can bet SCF is working on it). They are currently developing a partnership to supply fresh organic produce to Harvest Hope Food Bank, which works to curb hunger and malnutrition in 20 counties
across South Carolina.
At a time when the USDA is redefining the meaning of "organic" based on the interests of corporate profits, Sumter Cooperative Farms is offering a fine demonstration of "Beyond Organic" and assisting people in rediscovering how to "Grow Your Own."
If you live in or visit the Midlands of South Carolina, seek out Sumter Cooperative Farms produce at one of the farmers' markets listed in ther right hand column. As you feast on good food grown on good land by good people, the potent energy and nutrients will work their way into every cell in your body, along with the understanding that our true inheritance is abundant, healthy life for people, plants, animals, and soil.

This is Part 11 in a series about why evangelicals should care about the early church. If you are just now joining us, you can read Part 1 here; Part 2 here; Part 3 here; Part 4 here; Part 5 here; Part 6 here; Part 7 here; Part 8 here; Part 9 here; Part 10 here; Part 11 here; Part 12 here; Part 13 here; Part 14 here.
It is often claimed that "history is written by the victors," that those who won the battles (whether military, political, or theological) got to dictate the way those battles were described subsequently. And it is certainly true that the story of the great theological battles over Christian orthodoxy in the early centuries of the Church have—for most of Christian history—been described from the point of view of the belief that came to predominate.
Accordingly, more recent scholars have argued that we need to look at the same controversies without prejudice toward the "losers," and over the last 200 years a new history of the great theological controversies has been written from perspectives sympathetic to the poor "heretics" who had been maligned by earlier historians. These heretics, the new history alleges, were not actually "wrong." They were just on the wrong side of the political power plays that dominated the early church. Their only crime was that they lost the war, and they were painted falsely by the victors as malevolent souls intent on destroying the church.
In some ways, the new history does give us a more complete view of the past. It tends to focus on political and social issues more than theological ones, and as such it reminds us that there is always more than theology going on in theological controversies. The new history also reminds us that the victors—the "orthodox"—sometimes twisted the words of the "heretics" or took them out of context to make the losers seem worse than they were. Even more important, the new history reminds us correctly that the heretics did not SET OUT to destroy the faith. No serious Christian tries to ruin the church on purpose.
At the same time, the new history is beset with serious problems of its own, problems that are rarely acknowledged. First and most important, this new history is ALSO being written by the victors. If the traditional history was written by the ANCIENT victors, this new one is being written by TODAY'S victors—the scholars who represent the assumptions and perspectives that are in the ascendancy today. Those assumptions are generally naturalistic (discounting the action of God in history and understanding all events solely in terms of human actions) and relativistic (discounting the notion that there is such a thing as "truth," and therefore discounting the church's long-standing insistence that it MATTERED whether, for example, Jesus was fully divine as Athanasius said, or semi-divine as Arius implied).
Put simply, the view that is "winning" today has no place for theological truth at all, and so it sees "Christian orthodoxy" as an arbitrary construct developed for political reasons and imposed on the church by force. This view is scarcely able even to conceive of a world in which people's salvation actually depends on whether Christ is like this instead of like that. Scholars who hold to this new relativistic view see nothing earth shattering about the great debates of the church, so they assume that Christian leaders were just being mean when they suppressed the writings of those who disagreed with them.
Another serious problem with this new view of history is that it purports to be objective. Scholars consistently give the impression that by treating the "heretics" sympathetically, they are removing the biases of the ancient victors who dictated the first writing of history. But rarely do those scholars acknowledge that in the process of doing that, they are also introducing biases equally great. To assume that it matters not at all whether Jesus is fully God or semi-divine is CERTAINLY NOT to be objective. Rather, it is to make an extreme value judgment, exactly the opposite of the value judgment the early church made when it declared that it makes all the difference to people's eternal salvation whether Jesus is fully God or less than God. Indeed, NO ONE in the early church—least of all Arius himself—would have agreed with the judgment that it makes no difference whether Jesus was like this or like that. The new history calls itself objective, yet at the most basic level it carries an assumption with which no one at the time—and indeed no real Christian at any time period—could agree. It is a sad kind of logic indeed that enables one to operate from a fundamentally ANTI-Christian perspective while still claiming to be unbiased and objective.
"History is written by the victors." True enough, but history is also RE-written by TODAY'S victors. And those of us who think the great truths of theology actually matter—indeed that the salvation of the world hinges on them—need to be very careful about the way we read and utilize the version of history that today's scholars present to us.

1997 Bontrager Road Lite
After being a fan of Bontrager bikes for several years, I bought my first Race Lite mountain bike in July of 1998. I put many miles on that bike, and loved every one. When it came time to replace my road bike, I thought that the Road Lite was the ticket.
In late 2001 I purchased the NOS frameset from Chain Reaction Bicycles, where incidently I ended up working for a period time at a later date. Initially I moved the components from my old Scott road bike to the new frame to be sure that I liked the bike - which I did.
The bike is built with traditional European road geometry, with the exception of a slightly sloping top tube. The Road Lite was the first (or at least one of the first) production road bikes to use the new "compact" style geometry. The sloping top tube, the frame gussets, and the mono-stay rear end where all hold overs from Keith Bontrager's CX and mountain bike designs. Most of the frame tubes where shared with the Race Lite as well.
I completed my first century (100 miles) on this bike, in Solvang, CA, and completed a loop around Lake Tahoe on it as well. I enjoyed the way the bike rode. My only issue with it was that riding without hands wasn't possible due to a shimmy in the front end - I never did figure out what was causing this.
Soon after buying a Ritchey Swiss Cross I decided that there was no real reason to own both the Bontrager and the Ritchey. In my opinion the Ritchey was a better road bike (even though it's a CX frame), and I didn't expected to ride the Bontrager much any more. I sold it on eBay in late 2002, and the new owner bought it for a great price. I hope he's enjoying it, as I often wish I'd held on to the bike.

ORONO, Maine – Pushaun Brown (North Brunswick, N.J.) rushed for 193 yards and three scores to lead the University of Maine football team to a 31-17 win over #5 Delaware on Saturday night at Alfond Stadium. Maine is now 3-1 overall and 1-0 in CAA play while Delaware falls to 3-2 and 1-1 in league play.
Maine got on the board first as Brown completed a seven play, 89-yard drive with a 26-yard touchdown run.
The Blue Hens responded with a Tim Donnelly 16-yard touchdown pass and Sean Baner 46-yard field goal to take a 10-7 lead into halftime.
The Black Bears would take back the lead on a 37-yard touchdown pass from Warren Smith (Forked River, N.J.) to Damarr Aultman (Wheatley Heights, N.Y.) to cap a five-play, 83-yard drive.
The Blue Hens would not go away as Andrew Pierce notched a 13-yard touchdown run with 3:40 left in the third.
It was all Black Bears after that.
Smith found an open Derek Session (Baltimore, Md.) for a 56-yard gain on the last play of the third quarter and Brown would run it in from 18 yards to give Maine the lead it would not relinquish.
With the Blue Hens trying to take back the lead, Vinson Givans (Cambridge, Mass.) would intercept Donnelly's pass at the Maine 25-yardline. Brown would take the next handoff 70-yards to the Delaware five and punch it in two plays later to give Maine a 28-17 lead.
Jerron McMillian (Hillside, N.J.) intercepted Donnelly's pass to open the Blue Hens' next series, and Brian Harvey (Wayland, Mass.) would put the game away with a 31-yard field goal with 5:30 left.
Smith completed 18-of-27 passes for 264 yards and a score while Session caught four balls for a game-high 111 yards receiving.
Darlos James (Mt. Vernon, N.Y.) and Trevor Coston (Greenlawn, N.Y.) also notched interceptions.
Pierce had 120 yards rushing to lead Delaware.
Maine return to action next Saturday at James Madison live on Comcast SportsNet. Kickoff is slated for 3:30 p.m.

Printable View
How can I set logfile size limit? For example my logger_myslow.log is 76mb right now...
Add to /opt/zimbra/bin/zmlogrotate and/or /etc/logrotate.d/zimbra
It is a normal logrotate style file. You can add entries for logger_myslow.log. I included a wide varity of options. More of a discription can be found at man logrotate.
There is also a file /etc/logrotate.d/zimbra that is the same as zmlogrotate. I'm not sure which one to edit. I know logrotate will rotate the one in /etc/logrotate.d for sure though. To manually rotate the logs you can use logrotate /opt/zimbra/bin/zmlogrotate. I guess one could symlink one to the other to simplfy things.Code:
/opt/zimbra/log/logger_myslow.log {
create 0660 zimbra zimbra
size 5000k
rotate 3
zmlogrotate is installed in /etc/logrotate.d - you want to edit the one in logrotate.d - I'll get this into the product for the next release.
Thanks, guys...

The review also makes a number of recommendations on how the Authority could further improve its performance.The report, by international auditors Ernst & Young, notes the high quality of EFSA's scientific outputs and risk communication activities. The report highlighted the Authority's culture of transparency and robust systems to ensure the impartiality of its scientific advice.However, the evaluation also recommends that EFSA: enhance transparency in some decision-making processes; build better links with Member States; increase its planning and prioritisation capacity; improve the clarity of its communications and develop its data collection practices.These proposals will make an important contribution to shaping future development of the organisation.EFSA will reflect carefully on the report and its recommendations will be discussed among all key partners and stakeholders including the European Commission, European Parliament, member states as well as the Authority's Management Board. Part of this review will be carried out during EFSA's Institutional Conference on 13 November 2012.Main Findings of ReportMeeting full scope of responsibilities - EFSA has accomplished the full scope of its responsibilities despite operating in an increasingly complex and demanding environment. It is meeting its core goals of providing its partners and stakeholders with the scientific and technical support they need through the publication of high quality scientific outputs.Forefront of science - The organisation is seen as being at the forefront of scientific knowledge and risk assessment methods. But while EFSA's reputation is strong in Europe, its standing on the international stage needs building.Task allocation and Member State co-operation - Some concerns persist in relation to the efficiency and sustainability in the allocation of tasks between internal staff and experts and on how EFSA's advice can best support safe innovation in the EU. The evaluation says improved cooperation with Member States is necessary to better share responsibilities, priorities and future workloads.Data collection - EFSA's data collection operations have fulfilled the requirements laid down in its founding regulation. But the authors say improving the harmonisation of EFSA's data IT systems with those from member states, along with the way information is used, referenced, and accessed is needed.Risk communications - The Authority's achievements in improving awareness of risks in the food chain and promoting coherent communication on these issues are highlighted.• "EFSA has succeeded in building awareness, trust and reputation for the overall food safety system and for itself, contributing to the harmonisation and coherence in risk communication," says the report.• It notes the efficacy and quality of risk communications to support decision-making processes. Greater clarity of messages and availability in more languages would facilitate outreach to a broader public. There is an opportunity to strengthen EFSA's role in facilitating coherence of communications in times of crisis, supporting the European Commission and Member States in the dissemination of science-based advice.Independence - The organisation operates in an impartial way and the report describes EFSA as having one of the most advanced and robust systems in place for ensuring independence.• "Despite criticisms, no major changes in EFSA structures, governance and procedures are needed and the current situation is considered a satisfying infrastructure in itself and as compared to other European agencies and relevant international standards such as the OECD," it says.Openness and Transparency - EFSA has fulfilled its obligations to operate in an open and transparent manner. It has gone far beyond its original duties in making documents public and increasing the involvement of external bodies in a variety of ways, says the report.EFSA should further enhance efforts to make its risk assessment and decision-making activities more open to public scrutiny to meet increasing stakeholder expectations. The impact of the pilot programme to open panels to observers needs to be evaluated and the possibility of widening access to documentation connected to screening procedures and conflicts of interests should also be considered.

When a lonely woman has lost all trust, it takes an otherworldly creature to restore her faith in mankind.
River is still recovering from the attack by an ex-boyfriend a year ago that left him dead, and her grievously injured. Damaged emotionally and physically, she is continually tormented by her attacker's brother, who blames her for it all. Worse than his blame, though, is her own—River believes she was at fault for letting the attack happen.
Fen can sense River's emotional pain like a beacon in the night. A selkie, he is compelled to help her on her path to healing, both emotionally and physically. Leading her on a journey to claim her own strength, he also helps her draw closer to Leo, the paramedic who saved her life that dark day…and who has never forgotten her.
Warning: This book features an abused woman, a man who wants desperately to help, and a sexy selkie who knows just how to heal what ails them all.

Ocean's Surrender is book 2 in what I'm calling Denise Townsend's Sexy Selkies Series. The novel (Ok, I read somewhere that Ocean's Surrender was a novella, but it felt novel length to me, so I'm just going to roll with that, m'kay?) is a smokin' hot erotica, filled with boys, toys and sweaty sex. However, as much as I loved all the hotness (and I did!), what I enjoyed most about Ocean's Surrender was the characters and story.
So often in erotica, where the sex/romance is titillating the story is dull or even, to be completely honest, just a means of getting the characters back in the bedroom, elevator, office, sex club, etc. In Ocean's Surrender both the story and all of the sex work cohesively to create a poignant story of redemption and renewal, of one woman's struggle to trust after tragedy and about how the aftereffects of a tragedy can adversely effect more than just the immediate victim. (Sidenote: All the sex and emotional healing occasionally brought Marvin Gaye's Sexual Healing while reading Ocean's Surrender, but that's probably more about me than the actual book.)
Another issue I have with erotica and romance is the use of cookie-cutter-like, generic characters. Denise Townsend blows this genre stereotype out of the water. Jason, our main character's brother has an intellectual disability and honestly I was worried when I started reading about him. I was waiting for his character to be patronized, for him to be written as some kind of man-child with a heart of gold or for his disability to be some kind of plot device. None of this was the case. Jason was simply another character in the story. He could have been simply a younger brother or a well meaning friend or whatever, but instead Denise Townsend wrote him, in my opinion bravely and very well, as a character with a disability. All of the characters in Ocean's Surrender, everyone from Fen the selkie to Jason were written with respect, compassion and a great deal of depth.
If you're looking for a hot, intelligent and beautiful story that is as much about menage as it is about brokenness and healing then you should absolutely pick up Ocean's Surrender. I cannot wait to read more from Denise Townsend and look forward to having both my dirty mind and my intellectual mind blown by her smart, well written erotica.

Battery life
Our Nokia 808 PureView's battery was empty when we received it, so we immediately put it onto the charger for a night. With our intensive testing activities it lasted for about a day, which is a pretty good result. There's a few possibilities to save on the energy, even if they're a bit hidden. For example, it's possible to adjust the screen time-out and the clarity of the screen. Anyway, the special energy-saving option will do more to help. You can find this when you press the on/off-key. The device can switch onto this option automatically when the battery's too low.
Additionally, you can also get the program Battery Monitor in the Nokia Store. This gives a useful insight in the spare energy and its possibilities.
Call quality
The sound during the conversations is a little bit disappointing: it all sounds quite dull. Also, it is a bit quiet at the start, but we can solve this with the volume button. Still, we're not entirely satisfied with this phone's call quality. During a call, there are enough options though: you can muffle the sound, put it on speaker, use the keyboard, navigate through your contacts and alter the settings.

Very cute and very tastey! Was a big hit!
I have made this recipe so many times and it always gets rave reviews! This was my first time trying to make the football shape rather than just a little ball and they came out great. Big hit as usual!
These are extremely chocolaty! Great for those that have a sweet tooth!

Hi, I'm new. I live in the city of San Francisco, and came upon this site
to help me find more information about a bike I have. Hoping someone
might know. I'm trying to ride more now - just plunked some $$ down to
have my mountain bike tuned. We have big hills here though.
I'm making pad thai for dinner!
Thanks for being here.

"Syria's conflict is often described as a "civil war," but that is only true insofar as it has yet to spill over into another country on a large scale or draw in too many different forces. But it is the quintessential proxy war, with the Alawite (an offshoot of Shia Islam) Assad regime backed up by Shia allies Hezbollah and Iran, as well as Russia and China.

Israeli and Washington politicos are behind "the terrorists"
"Information from non-classified sources is circumstantial but overwhelmingly strong. Dr. Paul Sheldon Foote of Cal-State Fullerton, probably the leading authoritative source in the United States on the MEK, and its presently functional relationship with the Israeli Mossad and elements in the American intelligence community, has publicly stated via his own sources that the MEK is the leading tool of Israeli intelligence and American Neo-Conservatives in the latter's espionage agencies in launching acts of destablization and violence directed at Iran's current government and conducted illegally within Iranian borders. Foote identifies the PJAK, the offshoot of the Kurdish separatist PKK, and the Jundallah, as the other elements in this dangerous game. The MEK's fingerprints in Tehran are joined by what seems to be a cooperative relationship with PJAK directed against the Iranian government in efforts launched from northeast Iraq and the Qandil Mountains and directed against Iranian Azerbaijan. And suspicious terror activities in Khuzestan and Diyala Provinces in recent years seem to be augmented by bomb blasts and terror killings in Balochistan Province in Iran where it appears that the MEK's partner-in-crime is the Jundallah based in Pakistan. But again, the Hidden Hand is comprised of the obvious, bigger ultimate players and assets. The increase in PKK attacks on Turkey since May 2009 coincides exactly with the corresponding time frames of the Turkish government's public beefs with Israel over the Mavi Marmara shoot-up and other formal Erdogan government protests against the actions of the Netanyahu regime in Gaza and elsewhere. What does this tell any of us? But for the Israeli Mossad, the American CIA, the British MI6, and their respective Commanders-in-Chief, the operative concept is "plausible deniability."

"Practicing Catholics" = Practicing Hypocrites
I was recently participating in an online discussion in the Practicing Catholics Facebook group, and found the people there – except for one man – to be like most US "Catholics."
The people in the Practicing Catholics group do not practice following Christ, as Catholics are supposed to do. They don't study the Scriptures, as Catholics are supposed to do, and, like most US "Catholics," they are hypocrites who say they are following Christ when they are in fact following Satan, and are supporting his satanic agenda of lies, theft, and murder.
When I confronted these self-professed "Catholics" with the truth, many of them – like the Jews who said they were Jews but where not, mentioned in the quote, above – slandered me: calling me ugly and untrue names, such as: "conspiracy theorist" and "anti-semite."
The founder and moderator of Practicing Catholics – Alex Terego (who slandered me) is a writer, who professes to be Catholic… Continue reading

Vettel commits himself to Red Bull
MOTOR SPORT:Sebastian Vettel has given Red Bull something even more valuable than a double hat-trick of Formula One drivers' and constructors' world championships.
The greatest gift of all in this season of giving came long after his sixth place in Sunday's Brazilian Grand Prix had confirmed his third title by just three points over Fernando Alonso, after the rain-sodden crowds had departed and he had been ushered into the pantheon of the all-time great racing drivers. It was when he said that he was "extremely committed" to the team until the end of the 2014 season.
His contract with the Milton Keynes-based factory still has two years to run but that has not prevented repeated rumours throughout the season that he would join Ferrari at the end of 2013. On Sunday night, however, there was no equivocation. He said: "I have a contract until the end of '14. I'm very happy with what we have achieved so far and I don't think this story is over yet.
"I'm very happy and extremely committed to give everything I have, also in the next years when I'm with them. At the moment, I don't see any point thinking about another team or something else. I'm extremely happy in the position I am. It's incredible what we have achieved."
Although Christian Horner, the Red Bull team principal, has always said that Vettel would remain for a further two years, the strength of the speculation threatened to destabilise the relationship between the driver and his employers.
And now the driver must be counted among the greatest to have squeezed themselves into a Formula One cockpit. Just look at the names of the others who have won three titles: Michael Schumacher (seven); Juan Manuel Fangio (five); Alain Prost (four); Jack Brabham, Jackie Stewart, Niki Lauda, Nelson Piquet, Ayrton Senna and now Vettel.
Horner understood Vettel was different back in 2005 when the 18-year-old had just passed his driving test. He flew from Germany to England, hired a car to drive to the team's headquarters, asked for Horner and then said he wanted a tour of the team's facilities. He was already one of 16 Red Bull academy drivers but none of the others had shown such initiative.

By Stephen J. Thomas
SYDNEY, Australia, March 19. THE Australian Championships and World Championship selection trials closed in style with the incomparable Grant Hackett cruising to his ninth consecutive national 1,500 freestyle title, in a time that would have taken gold in Athens. And 18-year-old Alice Mills posted the ninth fastest 50 freestyle performance in history to continue her world class form.
Tonight a fit and healthy Hackett added the 1500 free to his already impressive wins in the 200/400/800 earlier in the week. However, it was in his signature event where the world record-holder produced his best.
The 24-year-old Queenslander made it clear from the outset he was down to business turning at the 200 in 1:54.90, more than three seconds ahead of his nearest rival, training-partner Kurtis MacGillivary. By the the 800 mark, Hackett had increased his lead over the former Canadian champ by ten seconds (7:51.93) and extended himself in the final stages to touch in 14:44.94, the fastest ever swim Down Under and just outside his winning time in Athens of 14:43.40.
Unlike Athens, where he struggled to walk from the pool having nursed a serious lung infection, Hackett was in great shape after the race indicating he would have been capable of going significantly faster if he had been challenged.
Newly converted Aussie Kurtis MacGillivary (pictured with Hackett) rubbed salt in the wounds of Canadian swimming when he took just under three seconds off his previous PR – the current Canadian record – set in the prelims here last year to touch behind Hackett in 15:08.48 – and well under the qualifying time for the World Champs to be held in his former homeland. Perth teenager Travis Nederpelt took third in 15:31.32, just fifteen minutes after taking second placing in the final of the 400 IM, a tough ask in anyone's book.
To reinforce Hackett's legendary status over this the most arduous event on the swimming program, he has swum under the challenging 15-minute barrier on all but one of his nine wins over thirty laps at this meet – just failing back at his first championship win in 1997 when he clocked 15:01.46. To cap a great meet for the tripe Olympic gold medalist, Swimming Australia announced he would captain the Aussie team to compete in Montreal.
Alice Mills (pictured below) was glowing with confidence before the final of the 50 freestyle after her surprise victory over Olympic teammates Jodie Henry and Libby Lenton in the two-lap race earlier in the week. Mills won the silver medal at the Barcelona World Champs in this event behind Dutch world record-holder Inge de Bruign with Lenton taking bronze, and of course, Lenton won Olympic bronze in Athens last year.
Tonight the Queenslander once known as the "pocket rocket", powered to the wall to win in a Commonwealth record 24.49, almost half-a-second under her previous best, lifting the now 5' 7''/115lb teenager to third on the all-time performers list behind sprint legends Inky de Bruijn and Therese Alshammar. Lenton, the former Aussie record-holder at 24.70 took the silver in 24.86 and Henry bronze in 24.95 (not far outside her PR 24.92) with Olympic finalist Michelle Engelsman finishing fourth in 25.27.
All-time Top 10 Performers
24.13 Inge de Bruijn NED Sydney 9/22/00
24.44 Therese Alshammar SWE Helsinki 7/9/2000
24.49 Alice Mills AUS Sydney 3/19/2005
24.51 Jingyi Le CHN Rome 9/11/1994
24.63 Dara Torres USA Sydney 9/23/2000
24.68 Alison Sheppard GBR Manchester 8/2/2002
24.70 Libby Lenton AUS Sydney 3/15/2004
24.71 Ying Shan CHN Shanghai 1/10/1997
24.72 Sandra Völker Ger Braunschweig 5/16/2001
24.79 Yang Wenyi CHN Barcelona 7/31/1992
Jade Edmistone swam herself onto her first long course National team when she held her form to win the 50 breaststroke in 31.02, just 0.03 of a second in front of Brooke Hanson. Edmistone, 23, lowered the Aussie record twice in the prelims to stand at 30.74 but in the final it was more about a place on the team to Montreal and both girls easily made the standard. Sydney Olympics finalist Tarnee White, 23, was an unlucky third in a PR 31.13 that would have easily made most other teams for the World Champs.
Adam Lucas took the double in the individual medley with a solid win in the eight-lap race touching in 4:18.49 to defeat Athens teammate Travis Nederpelt 4:18.93. Both swimmers were under the qualifying standard. Leith Brodie, the silver medalist in the 200 IM, took third in 4:24.50.
Lara Carroll won the women's 400 IM in 4:45.73, which was under the qualifying standard, holding off an impressive finish from 16-year-old Stephanie Rice 4:46.57 (PR) with distance specialist Sarah Paton third in 4:52.31.
Dorsal specialist Matt Welsh easily took his seventh 50 backstroke title, clocking a swift 25.23 – just .22 outside his Commonwealth record. Dual Olympian Josh Watson took second place in 25.68, which was outside the qualifying time with Ethan Rolff third in 26.08.
The West Coast men's 400 medley relay team set a new Aussie club record when they clocked 3:41.67. The Perth based club coached by Grant Stoelwinder took all three men's team events this week with the medley team featuring three Athens Olympians; Adam Lucas, Jim Piper and Eamon Sullivan. Piper (100-200 breaststroke) and Lucas (200-400IM) made the team along with coach Stoelwinder but Eamon Sullivan did not make it despite swimming faster than he did to qualify for Athens and taking third place in the 100 free this time around.
Interestingly, while several swimmers benefited from the absence of Ian Thorpe at this meet, Sullivan may well have missed a place in the squad for Montreal due to Thorpe's absence. The likely 100 freestyle time produced by Thorpe, the Olympic bronze medalist, would have easily reduced the average of the top four finishers below the required relay qualifying time. If there is any consolation for the 19-year-old Sullivan, he clocked 49.01 to bring home the winning West Coast relay, which would adjust to around 49.7 with the flying start, easily his best time over the distance.

it took me about 30 seconds to make the poll, sorry about the delay
I voted they suck, but quality can be taken a couple of ways. For us, imo, yes, they are a quality opponent. The game could get tricky if we aren't careful. It's a win we desperately need. The rest of the college world though, and that's how I voted, look at them as a non-opponent.
That being said, I'd rather play Kent St. And any other D1A team rather than the old 1 AA (Champioinship? still can't get that straight) team. I just don't see how it benefits us at all. Those games, for the most part, are a lose lose for us, while teams like SDSU or UNI, can't lose.
They suck. The real question is "Will ISU find a way to suck more?" History says yes but damn it would be a tough one to swallow.
This game scares the crap out of me because I fear a loss there means a slippery slope type season (like last year's) could easily happen.
I would hope they would suck. But to us..never know.
I think what's worse (or equally embarrasing) than losing to Kent St. is beating them 49-47
Didnt they beat us not too long ago?
Decent for US. We lost 10 in a row. I cant think of anyone who isnt a decent opp for us
I voted "suck" in honor of that other thread and me getting sucked into reading the whole thing...
I voted suck, should be an open results poll...or maybe I just didn't see where to clicky.
We should be playing crappy opponents, just not on the road.
it's only quality bc it's on the road imo.
We should win this game though.

My thoughts exactly. They absolutely suck ***. They have NEVER sold out their home stadium. There is no reason for us to lose this game.
It's on the road. **** my life.
In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection.
Traditionally the suck and would be considered a "cupcake" game. Today's college football world is different though. You see so many teams playing D1AA opponents now. I think you can say they have been upgraded from "they suck" to they are "below average" as far as a scheduled non conference opponents goes

Company Apologizes To Zooey Deschanel For Identifying Her As Boston Bombing Suspect
By Mack Rawden 3 years ago
In the chaotic aftermath of the tragic Boston Marathon bombing, a lot of false and distorted information leaked out, both on the Internet and through cable and network news stations. Some of it was taken very seriously at the time, and other flubs, well, they were obvious from the first moment-- like when a closed captioning service accidentally identified New Girl star Zooey Deschanel as the bombing suspect.
The company responsible for the mistake is called Caption Solutions. Its based out of Kansas, and today, its president Kala J Patterson released a statement to The New York Post apologizing for the error. Its still unclear exactly how the blunder happened, but one would imagine the service has automatic choices for certain names in order to speed up the process. Zooeys choice was probably improperly selected while the typist was trying to type Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
Everyone makes honest mistakes now and again. Closed captioning is an incredibly intense job, especially during a moment of national crisis. Its not a profession in which perfection is expected, and in a way, its kind of unfair anyone would even have to apologize for an honest mistake. That being said, because of the nature of the crime and how many jokes have been made on the Internet since the blunder, the right PR move was definitely to apologize.
Heres to hoping Zooey accepts the mea culpa and allows everyone to move on immediately.

Gabriel Stulman on Scopa, His New Project on Minetta Lane
And the street gets even more chic.
Earlier today, Eater announced that restaurateur-on-fire Gabriel Stulman (Joseph Leonard, Jeffrey's Grocery, Fedora) is opening Scopa in the old Bellavitae space, a few feet down from Minetta Tavern. So much talent on such a little block! Grub Street spoke to Stulman about the location, design details, and what it means to be next to such a (timelessly) hot spot.
"We are excited to be down the street from Minetta Tavern and don't see us as competing with them at all — in fact, that is a competition I am certain we would lose," Stulman tells Grub. "Riad and Lee are friends, and Keith is the restaurateur I probably admire the most, so we look forward to having more excuses to go to Minetta Tavern."
As for design? Stulman says Scopa will "be like all of the other restaurants, a collaborative effort of mine and my wife Gina's."

Kelley and Company 8/17 – The Tax Discussion
By Jimmy Sengenberger at December 5, 2012 | 8:46 pm | Print
On August 17th, Jimmy Sengenberger sat in for Steve Kelley on Kelley and Company on News/Talk 710 KNUS, joined by Bill Rogan and Murphy Wells.
First, talk turns to the ever debated and disputed topic of taxes. We outline the tax plan of presidential candidate Mitt Romney and why President Obama's claims about his plan are completely false. The tax discussion continues as we consider how to balance the budget and fix the debt by way of tax increases or decreases.
Next, vice-president Joe Biden takes considerable heat over his controversial 'back in chains' comment. Why is such a divisive comment being ignored by the media and twisted by the liberals? The answer probably won't surprise you.
Then, the public calls in to chat about the issue of Mitt Romney's tax returns and whether or not he should release them. Jimmy explains the absurdity of Harry Reid's comments on the issue and why we just need to move on.
Finally, Camp Experience founder Betsy Wiersma joins us to chat about this wonderful and empowering program.
Click and listen to a great hour and a half of lively chat and fun!

From News One
As far as some African-Americans are concerned there is significant possibility that there is a conspiracy behind the spread of HIV/AIDS in the black community. Some have even said blacks have been targeted with the disease.
In his 2005 hit, "Heard Em' Say," Kanye West rhymed:
"And I know the government administered AIDS/ So I guess we just pray like the minister say."
Kanye's not the only black person who believes the Feds are behind this devastating disease.
The Rand Corporation reported in a study that, of the 500 black participants they surveyed on whether AIDS was man-made, half answered yes.

The Skrotum or the Hodensack ranks among the male sex organs and is a striking and a muscle bag with male mammals, of which contain the testicles, Nebenhoden, at the beginning of the seed leader and the end of the seed strand. It is between the legs, the Penis and the dam. It possesses much frizzy hair, which becomes in the course of the time ever longer and with according to assessed ones than indication of aging also grey and/or white.
Function of the Skrotums is to hold the testicles two to five degrees Celsius coolly as the remainder of the body. This temperature is optimally for the production of sperm cellses, likewise for "to-life-stops" male seed already produced. The testicle temperature is regulated by the fact that the Hodensack pulls together with cold weather, whereby the testicles are pulled more near to the body and the radiation surface for the body warmth become smaller, and with warmth eases, whereby the testicles continue to arrive away from the body and the radiation surface is increased.
Misalignment of the testicle into the Hodensack, the called Descensus testis, should be final to at the latest at the beginning of the ninth pregnancy monthly and is considered as ripe characters of the male newborn child. It causes the anatomical structure of the Skrotums in as much as the of the peritoneum accompanying the testicle with its descent forms the wall of the testicle cave, the Cavum scroti, and/or its two which are by the Skrotalseptum from each other separated. The connection to the abdominal cavity, existing first over the border channel, usually in order to prevent on the one hand the development of a Skrotalhernie, on the other hand a reentry of the testicle into the border channel.
The internal sheet of these or Tunica vaginalis testis the testicles and Nebenhoden covers and as Epiorchium is designated, which expresses as Periorchium. Accumulations of liquid in this area lead to the Hydrozele. extensions of the venous v.a. in the left Skrotalfach become particularly visible in standing as Varikozele. With fettleibigen men a Intertrigo can spread to the Skrotum. Particularly with persons abscesses of the skin can manifest themselves as Skrotalabszesse.
Evolutionary the large Schamlippen of the woman correspond to the Skrotum of the man. There the genital bulges do not merge, while this happens with the male individual. The fusion line of the two genital bulges remains thereby as above the Skrotalseptum already mentioned. At the Hodensack thereby a kind "seam" (see Raphe) is to be seen.
In former times of the Skrotum by animals (for example of goat supports) bags were made, for example as drinking bottle. Therefore the term is probably derived Bocksbeutels. In addition, there are other hypotheses to the Etymologie of this word.
Beside the acorn and the Klitoris the testicles belong to the most sensitive places of the human body. Many men may be affected and stroked it therefore, with the dear play there.

In the year 1982 after the feature Tron (film) was published the computer game produced by Midway Games Tron. The computer game obtained higher profits than the Erstverwertung of the named-giving feature.
The play is played by at least 2 players, of it at least a human player. The two-dimensional playing field shown from above, similarly as with Snake is everyone the player a "queue", which becomes constantly longer however without the a collecting of any articles. In the original it concerns so-called "light wheels" ("cycles" light), which produce solid luminous walls behind itself. A goal is it to force all other players to it frontally against the luminous wall of another player or those the limiting wall of the playing field to drive, about by including it with the own play figure.
The play was copied innumerable marks, it exists also (as in Tron 2,0) quicker 3D-Versionen of the play.
With Tron 2,0 monolith acts with the background of the film out of the 80ern around a computer game out of the house. The used 3D-Engine is the so-called Lithtech engine. The story in addition originates from the feather/spring from Steven Lisberger, which wrote also the story to the film. It calls Tron 2,0 the official successor to the film.
Although the play is settled in the category of the Ego Shooter, it contains also of aspects of game of roles (for example character development) and Adventureaspekte. In sections the play contains also a Lightspeeder running, a 3D-Variante of the play classical author Tron.
Contentwise it concerns in the play that one is digitized by a computer system and in the computer inside shifts and now as program in the memory with other programs on the way is. The task consists protecting of it a computer system against attacks by a virus, develops themselves further then however much.
All in all a several times distinguished Ego Shooter with some new ideas.
If the play would have become a commercial success, a continuation of the film classical author would have been planned Tron.
Further there are Armagetron, GLtron, VGATron and gtkMaggot as free open the SOURCE versions from Tron to to receive is, as well as WEGATRON.Eine relatively original version gives it as Java applet on arcademachine.com.

In our neighborhood we have seven different cats that roam around being adorable and causing trouble. Lucky for me, my desk sits right next to our kitchen window where 24/7 I have a live show of sleeping cats and feline mischief happening in the neighbor's yard. Today, that mischief involved a squirrel.This crazy little squirrel kept jumping from rooftop to rooftop, and made his way to the roof where our neighbor throws old loaves of bread for the birds. And as he sat, happily munching away, one of the neighboring cats, snuck up right behind him. I had already seen a close-call chase go down this morning and was horrified because the squirrel wasn't turning around to notice the feline behind him.
In a situation like this, you have a couple of options. You can keep watching and hope for the best. Or, you can look away if you expect the worst. Well, unless, you are me, that is… because if you are me, your solution would be to open your window and begin yelling for the squirrel to run. Yes, at 10 am on a Sunday, I opened my kitchen window and yelled at a squirrel like a crazy person. (And, yes, this really happened. Who would make this up?)
Sure enough, the cat quickly made its move and that badass squirrel made a break for it — bread and all. Impressive little guy. I guess when it comes to wild animals, they really don't need anyone looking out for them.
Luckily the rest of my day was not as eventful. I stuck some fresh herbs in a pitcher of water, let it sit out in the sunlight, and then stayed away from my window. I think my neighbors appreciated it.
- 2 quarts of water
- 3 cups fresh peppermint leaves
- 1 cup lemon balm
- ½ cup chamomile flowers
- Add herbs to pitcher of water and let sit in direct sunlight for 3 - 5 hours. Refrigerate after brewing and consume within 2-3 days.
