Angels ride too
This online memorial was created in loving memory of Christian Chandler, whose life story is told throughout this memorial website. Please sign Christian's guest book and let us know you came to visit. We will remember Christian forever.
SPECIAL THANK-YOU to all who sign the guest book. I read each and everyone.
Being born with Cystic Fibrosis is a death sentence though you've committed no crime or harmed no one. Its a constant struggle just to take a breath everyday, all day. So many times he was at deaths door.
He passed away quietly. He had no Military honors funeral, No TV coverage, No news story, but he was the biggest HERO I have ever known leaving a legacy of courage and fight hard tomatch. Rest in Peace, buddy, I'll be seeing you soon.
Christian John Chandler would have been 25 years old TODAY. Instead of telling him Happy Birthday, through tears, we are saying Good-bye. He was my inspiration in life and in death is my Angel in Spirit. He had a heart of gold and shoulders of steel for what he had to endure for the short 24 years of his life.
Christian was born April 29,1990 and was the most beautiful baby I ever saw. He was always laughing and melting hearts. Then he was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. He was the first born to young parents Cindy and David Chandler.
More will be added soon. Today is an emotional day for parents, family and friends of Christian. Happy Birthday, buddy. you will never be forgotten. You are out of site but never out of heart.
It has been ONE month today and seems like yesterday. The pain is just too much to bare. I miss my grandson and buddy so much. He was my reason to get up every morning.
They say one of the stages of grief is anger and I guess that's what I feel. He began not taking care of himself as he got older even after loosing a friend, Stacy, to Cf when she was 19. He was 17 and the family told him because she stopped caring for herself. This is a problem, I am told as they get older. I don't know the answer, just the pain
He was loosing hope and any chance at being happy. He didn't realize how much he was loved. He watched friends have girlfriends, college, jobs, and lost contact with most.
I moved up to be near my grandsons about 8 years ago and watched as Christian slowly went downhill. It ripped my heart out to see him so depressed and lonely. I gave him a PT Crusier, Iphones, XBoxes. money. anything he wanted, I would have sold my soul to the devil for him if I could have traded places with him to give him a life but it couldn't fill the hole he had inside him.
I NEVER heard him one time complain of CF even when he was coughing and so sick. What he did say was he just wanted to find happiness. He wanted someone he could hold and love and that would love him unconditionally. He didn't find it here, I hope he's found happiness and peace in death.
more soon, its just too difficult now. I keep hearing
time will make it easier. Time heals. I am 70 years old.
I don't have that kind of time left.
working at Texas Roadhouse a short time
6-10-15 I was frozen in time since Easter and nightmares of the police at the door.
I have no words
6-10-15 His cat for the last 2 months since he passed away has gone to his room and wants the door open. I open it for her and she goes over to his stuff in the corner of the room. She just starts wailing and howling. She spends a lot of time in his room. I know animals will mourn and howl for their loved one but did not know it last that long. She has been a rock and comfort to me. I took her to the vet today and sadly she is dying of liver cancer. Another devastating pain for me. as I say goodbye to her. I know he will be with us and waiting.
Christian and baby brother Justin
Christian and baby brother/Where one was the other
was. He watched over and protected his brother all his
life. He was so proud of him and said he's living my
dream. He'll live for me.
Christian was outgoing, and loved the outdoors. He tried
going snowboarding once with his brother and friends.
He loved it but it broke his heart that it was way too much
on him and he couldn't go anymore.
The family, (mother, father, brother Justin, and Christian
were in a bad car accident. Christian was thrown out of the car into a field. He had his seat belt on but I think so thin and lightweight he was pulled out. About 2 years later his got his part of a settlement and got a new dirtbike. He was on it all day everyday up and down the dirt roads out here.
I miss my buddy
My heart is broken today. I buried BooBoo his long time cat. She had longed to be with him and would lay on his shirt and cry. She is with her love now. wrapped in his shirt, then a plush pink baby blanket with a toy. No more tears, just joy over Rainbow Bridge
The tears continue. Wait for me you guys, I be there soon. Grandma
9-10-15 today is a sad day. Well, they all are. I am still waiting for this "time" everyone says will come and take away the pain but today I am 71 years old and no one should have to feel this kind of pain. If you have lost a close loved one, you know what I mean. I miss my buddy, I asked Christian for a sign that he is ok. If you look at the waterfall, you can see an angel. Her long black hair, face and big white wings. There's also an Orb. I know he's ok.
Sept 5 2015 Was 5 months Christian left us. That day, this Double rainbow appeared over the sky outside the house. The same day was his cousin's birthday. He would have been 25 years old and got killed on New Years Eve 2 years before we lost Christian. Maybe its just me but I think Christian and Jake are together and having allitle fun with us down here!!
The family, (mother, father, brother Justin, and Christian)
were in a bad car accident. Christian was thrown out
of the car into a field. About 2 years later his got
his part of a settlement and got a new dirt bike.
He was on it all day everyday up and down the dirt
roads out here. He was so happy to be able to ride and
be free.
He told me once he felt so free and could forget he even
had CF. He said "If I could die on my bike I'd be
happy". I think if he could have taken it in his room he's be
Christian- Here it is Christmas already and I miss you so much I cry every night for you. I am so happy you can breathe normal and not hurting. You hurt so much your whole life and I didn't know what was worse, watching you hurt and suffer when you were here and the loneliness and despair you had or missing you.
I wished I could close my eyes and open them in Jan. I don't want to go thru these holidays without you.
At Christmas 2 years ago, Christian wanted to make sugar cookies for everyone. I gave him the recipe and he began mixing all ingredients. A couple of moments later he let out a loud AHHHH....I ran in and he had turned on the mixer on high speed before blending all the mix and had decorated the walls, ceiling and himself with flour, dough and milk. We were laughing so hard. I am so sorry I did not get a picture of this. It wasn't too often you would see him laugh this hard.
He did make the cookies and they turned out so well.
new games
Feb 16 2016
Its been almost a year since I lost my best friend, helper, grandson, buddy and reason to live. When I think of Christian, I remember all the thousands of times we stood in line to eat someplace, or waited for tickets or at the hospital. He would start talking to strangers around him, I never saw anyone who did not smile and start talking to him and soon found they had things in common whether it was fishing, cars, beach or whatever. To him there was no strangers.
Many times we saw these people around town and they made a point to say hello to him. I'm sure these people saw his photo in the paper and said, "that's the young man I met at the store or ticket line" and saying I had no idea he was terminally ill.
How many times have we been in line or somewhere and a young person was next to us that we never said a word to. How different the world would be if we all took the time to talk to others, open a door for elderly, show love and compassion to a young man, teen, or girl. Who knows what hurt and loneliness they may be feeling.
Christian would do everyone of those things
without a second thought
Christian never told anyone he was sick. Never complained no matter what pain he was in or how depressed he was, yet he left an impression on everyone he ever met. This kid who thought he was alone, that no one cared left a legacy hard to beat evident by the many, many people and cars that were at his memorial.
God's timing is always right. I worked until I was 70 to help him and give him the things others his age have, He could not work, parents didn't have he money with the mounting medical bills. I wanted him to live as good and normal as possible knowing his time was ending. but God said, don't worry, I'll take care of him now, and he took him.
Hawaii bound hosptal party with nurses
April 29, 2016
Christians birthday. He would have been 26 today. Friends and family all gathered here to help make it through the night with stories and love of my buddy. I can't believe its been a year. It is like yesterday. The calendar flips, hands on the clock tick away, but the hurt doesn't move on.
Christian was so full of life. Through he struggled for every breath, he never let it stop him from what he wanted to do. From the time he was a baby, he had no fear of anything. when he was little he built a bike trailer out of wagon wheels and stuff and pulled the dog around in it. He would do trick riding on the bike.
Then it was skate boards and he was jumping and twisting and riding them down banisters around town. When he got his first dirt bike it was pedal to the medal with no fear of crashing or slowing down. He pushed everything to its limit. Including himself.
He made friends wherever he went and would have a conversation with anyone standing around in line at fast foods to carnivals all his short life. Everyone was a friend. His best friends through life was the nurses he had. Most since he was born. I don't think they even know the impact they had on him in his life. He talked about them right to the end. Happy Birthday, baby, maybe I'll see you soon!
Brothers- a bond death cannot break.
I sit on the deck looking out over the fields and roads. I can almost see him riding his dirt bike or sand buggy. Now it all sits still. Silent like they miss him too. God put his arms around him and said, "you've suffered enough", and took him home, where there is no more pain, sickness or suffering.
I remember Christian in grade school running down the sidewalk with his little brother to catch the school bus. They were both so cute and ran so funny. He always was looking back keeping an eye on his little brother just like he did all through life. He would always tell me how proud he was of his brother. He said he was is best friend.
I miss my little buddy so soo much! I fall asleep with tears and wake up with tears. Someday I will run towards him, give him a big hug, and never have to say good-by again. That's GOD"S promise.
God says he will personally wipe away our tears as we come into his presence where there is no more horrible diseases, sickness, pain, suffering or ever having to say good-by to our loved ones. A place where roses never fad, where streets are lined with pure gold, where our little pets will run to greet us and never hurt again.
A place with a little boy with a beautiful smile
Christian's Memorial Poem
Victory Is His
He'll always be our son, grandson, brother and friend
But his life with us has come to an end
We scream, we hurt, we stomp, and we cry
Just to hold him one more time
He fought a hard battle with his disease
We watched him struggle for a moments relief
The suffering he endured was long and hard
He fought with courage and strength to the final yard
The battle is over-The Victory Is His
He doesn't know how much he is loved
If you knew Christian, he would say,
I'm still here beside you ever day
You won't see me, for now I walk tall
You won't hear me, I don't cough at all
But the little whisper daily in your ear
Could just be me that you hear
So live for me and don't be sad
I can take a deep breath, I'm free at last.
Today is Thanksgiving. Everyone gathered at Grandma and
grandpa Chandler's, but someone was missing and my
heart was broken. I could almost see him sitting
there claiming the turkey drumstick for himself.
Tomorrow your mom and dad will take your car out of state
with them for your brother's finance to drive. I
know you would like that. They want me to move up with
them too and I think I have decided to do that. I want
to start a program, group. or just help make a wish and the CF
foundation in your name. I know they were dear to your
heart. You left a Legacy I can not fill, but maybe I
can leave a scratch somewhere to help someone.
I love you, my little buddy with the heart of Gold,
and shoulders of steel!
Christmas brings warm memories of 2 little brothers under
the tree. Where one was the other was always there
too. Little by little Christian got weaker and not as
active. He loved his video games and usually had to search for harder
games because he would master them so fast.
He loved to play the lotto scratch off tickets and won a
few dollars here and there. I had always wished he could
win some big money just once
He liked to collect coins and was learning about them
pretty good on what to watch for or how to tell value
levels. He was one of the smartest young persons I
knew. He could carry a conversation on just about every
He is missed more everyday than the day before but most of
all on holidays. There is missing presents under the
tree and an empty place at the table and a big
hole in my heart.
He loved his dirt bike. He was good at it and fearless.
Everything he did was head on not holding back any
fear of what might happen. He took jumps and the faster the better.
It was heartbreaking when he had a stroke while in the
hospital and could no longer use his hand
to squeeze the brake lever. He tried and tried
and rode anyway until he crashed it once and broke off
a piece. After that he just withdrew and accepted
it though he was always sad he had to give it up. By
this time he was getting weaker and any ride would
take a lot out of him anyway.
I had a dream last night. I was walking in a beautiful
meadow of flowers with colors I have never seen on
earth. There was a road next to it and I heard a
dirtbike roaring up. I turned and there he was- all
decked out, waving, on a red bike! I watched as he
faded off down the road.
If there's bikes in heaven, he'd be on one. Where he
has to strong hands to grip the brakes and clear lungs
so he won't tire.
I can't believe another Christmas without my little buddy.
I always called him "my rock" and I know he's
still around.
I don't think he ever knew how many lives he touched
or the impact he had on those he came into contact with
If I could leave such a fraction, I would be humbled
I run into people allthe time that mention how much he
touched them. People from his Pulmonary dr to the lady
at the backery. I had a young man who I didn't know
but had seen me many times with Christian and walked
up to me and told me how bumed out he was one time and
Christian, in all his struggle, gave him courage and
hope without a thought to himself.
That's easy to see knowing how Christian was. No one
was a stranger
Well, Christian, I don't know how but another Christmas
passed and I'm still here. One less gift under
the tree and one less plate at the table. We did get
snow, lots of it. More than in the last 40 years they
say. Knowing you, you'd be trying to ride your dirtbike
in it like you did one year
I miss you so much, and I'm so tired, maybe someday soon
In Florida with a friend he met
March 9 2017
Its been almost two years since the world lost a
bright light and covered my heart in darkness. His
ashes are with his folks out of state. This Memorial
site is my only refuge, where I can keep his light
Christian never knew a stranger and had a gift of
sensing when someone was hurting. Whether it be an
old soul or a young mother, he was a magnet to them
Just lending an ear, or talking to them
I heard him many times talking to someone, telling them things
will get better and they would make it through
I often wondered if I was in his shoes, being a young
teen knowing you only had a short time on earth,
If I could be a positive light to a stranger passing
on a word of hope. He makes you look at your own life
and I am ashamed. The many times I saw a sad friend
or stranger and I passed them by, too busy to take
time. Not one of those strangers knew how sick he was
If we had more shinning lights in the world, what a
different world it would be.
I am so grateful to have this Virtual Memorial Site
to keep a little of his bright light shinning
and to hear him say "we can make it, everything
will be alright.
Brothers celebrating birthdays
Two years ago today* my world fell apart.
My heart is still as broken as it was when you
left us. I know your not hurting, suffering and
struggling to take a breath of air, so many take
for granite.
I know I am so selfish and wished you were here. I
can almost hear you say, "we can make it" and I
cry like a baby. I am so thankful to have this site
to come talk to you and share you in death the way
you shared yourself in life. You never drew attention
to yourself and many who met you did not even know how
sick you were.
You are still with us everyday and I still find pennies
in the oddest places! I just found the one in the
middle of the kitchen counter even tho I am the only one
who lives here.
We feel such a hole in our gathering especially when
we celebrated your brothers birthday like we did
when you were here and we celebrated you both together
since you were only 1 day apart on birthdays.
I know I won't be here much longer and will be so
happy to hug you again and never let go. I know your
with the Lord because you walked with him and never
blamed him for your sickness and seemed to know
he was always close for you. Welcome home to the
place he prepared for you with no more pain, no tears,
no tubes or breathing machines, tests, needles,
operations and day after day in the hospital
I know I will see you soon, but for now, my heart
is beyond repair.
Swimming in Portland
Christian loved the ocean. Make A Wish sent him to Hawaii. His best thing of the trip he said was "swimming with the turtles" he said "For a while I forgot I had CF". He wasn't allowed to snorkel due to his lungs but that didn't stop him in Portland. He always pushed it to the limit, getting in all he could in one day. Make A Wish helps kids forget even for a short time the pain and suffering they endure daily. Its a lasting memory of fun and special treatment they take with them to share with the angels.
When I moved into my place 10 years ago, Christian stayed with me. We had alot of fun playing his video games and talking till all hours of the night.
I planted a rose bush for my mother that passed away. It never did much grow andalways looked like it was dying yet every summer for 8 years it would bloom one rose. Thats it. One per summer. When Christian passed away, it bloomed TWO roses that summer and never again. He was the rose of my life and he never stops blooming in my heart and not a day goes by tears find me.
I got a card from Tracy and the nurses in pediatrics. Most of them had Christian since he was born. Usually by 18 they go out to the adult floors but for him an exception was made and he stayed until about age 20. They said they have never forgotten how he would turn the little red wagon he pulled up and down the halls and were amazed at all the different things he would turn the wagon into to. They had alot of laughs and he made their time a fun time. He was one of their favorites After he had to start going from ID to Utah for treatment, they stayed in touch. He hated going to Utah Hospital because he had different nurses all the time and not personable. He said he felt like a stranger and they were always too busy to take time with him. He wanted his "family" nurses. I know his memory lives on in the hearts of all who cared for him. They were the best and I thank them for their care and attending his memorial. It wouldn't have been the same without them
They tore down the old hospital and with it memories of how I would go up there late at night well after visiting hours and "break him out" and we'd go to the local Maverick store and load up with goodies. We'd go to McDonalds or somewhere and just forget the tubes for a few moments, sometimes making it back just in time for treatments. You'd never know how much ain and misery he was in. He lived everyday with all the strength he had.

Nationally renowned bee expert makes his mark on the Wabash Valley as a new SMWC professor
February 16th, 2012 | SMWC
Surprisingly, after spending 14 years collecting more than 30,000 bees, Robert Jean, Ph.D., has only been stung four times. "Bees get a bad rap for stinging," he said, adjusting his glasses with a smile, "but they care more about the wildflowers than you."
Jean, the newest addition to Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College's (SMWC) Department of Sciences and Mathematics, has a fascination with bees that is contagious. As one of a handful of scientists in the country specializing in bee species identification, he has crisscrossed the Midwest, hunting for bumblebees, non-native bees and even endangered species. Now, as SMWC's new assistant professor of ecology, he will use his unmatched expertise to explore the mighty impact bees have on both local and national ecosystems.
"One in three bites of food is due to pollination by bees," Jean said. "And we have 420 species in Indiana alone." Jean's personal collection of more than 1,000 samples has already created national buzz. "I get contacted by a lot of other researchers and government agencies to help identify their specimens," he explained. In fact, a group from Earlham College recently traveled more than 300 miles to SMWC for Jean to identify specimens for their Joseph Moore Museum.
"Rob immediately recognized some rare species in our collections and some misidentifications," said the museum's director Heather Learner, Ph.D., assistant professor at Earlham College. "We are confident that his identifications will increase the value and utility of our collection."
By connecting with other colleges Jean hopes to increase his collection, facilitate the sharing of information and enhance cooperation with other entomologists. Conducting research at SMWC and in nearby nature preserves, such as Jackson-Schnyder and Wabashiki, he will create long-term data sets about bee populations. "The natural setting is key here," he explained. "We have a spring wildflower display that is among the most incredible in the world." His goal is to determine if the bees buzzing around these habitats are declining and, if so, to discover why. He believes that SMWC's unique natural setting is the ideal place to start. "We have a nice mix of habitats here, which is great for working with bees," Jean said.
Jean earned his master's and doctorate in entomology at Indiana State University. Prior to coming to The Woods, he worked for the Saint Louis Zoo and the Missouri Department of Conservation. He has presented to the Ecological Society of America and led numerous bee identification workshops across the country. By working with Woods students and the community, he will enhance the information available to bee enthusiasts and the scientific community. "Insects are the largest organisms on the planet both in biomass and species," Jean explained. "They are still the big unknown. It's very exciting and we're discovering new things everyday."

5 Ingredients: Mix-and-Match Turkey Burgersby Dana Angelo White in 5-Ingredient Recipes, April 4, 2011
The trick to delicious turkey burgers is keeping them tender and juicy. Since the meat doesn't contain much fat (and therefore, not much flavor) you need to combine it with a few simple add-ins to give things a boost. We dreamed up 5 flavorful mix-ins for the turkey burgers, each with 5 ingredients or less!
Mix-and-Match Turkey Burgers
Start with 1-pound of ground turkey breast (make sure it's breast meat and not the higher-fat "ground turkey") along with some salt and pepper. Try any of the 5 options below and serve on a whole-grain English muffin.
Yield: 4 burgers per pound of turkey meat
Option 1 (pictured above): Sun-dried tomato and black olives (1/4 cup of each, finely chopped)
Toppings: Goat cheese (1/2 oz per serving) and fresh arugula
Calories per serving: 324; Fat: 8 grams
Option 2: Mango chutney (1/2 cup)
Toppings: Baby Spinach & mayonnaise (1 teaspoon per serving)
Calories per serving: 340; Fat: 7 grams
Option 3: Balsamic onions*
(*1/2 cup chopped red onions sautéed with 2 teaspoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar – cool before adding to meat)
Toppings: Provolone cheese (1 slice per serving) and sliced tomato
Calories per serving: 370; Fat: 10 grams
Option 4: BBQ sauce and chopped bell pepper (1/2 cup each)
Toppings: Cheddar cheese (1 slice per serving) and mixed greens
Calories per serving: 362; Fat: 12 grams
Option 5: Black bean & chopped cilantro (½ cup each)
Toppings: Sliced avocado
Calories per serving: 270; Fat: 3.5 grams
Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high. Combine turkey meat and desired ingredients; season with salt and pepper and mix gently to combine. Form into 4 equal sized burgers and grill for 5 to 6 minutes per side. Serve on toasted whole-grain English muffins with desired toppings.
TELL US: What's your favorite turkey burger recipe?

One of the beautiful names of our All-Mighty Allah is "Al-Aleem". It means, "The All-Knowing."
Both East and West belong to Allah, so wherever you turn, the Face of Allah is there. Allah is All-Encompassing, All-Knowing . ( Surat al-Baqara, 2:115)
From the moment people begin to think, they learn and accumulate more and more knowledge in time. Some specialize in certain fields, such as physics, philosophy, or history. All of this knowledge relates to the verb "to know," as we understand it. However, this verb also has a dimension that is far beyond humanity's grasp: how Allah knows things.
Allah, being the Creator, holds the knowledge of the heavens, Earth, and every being in between, as well as of all the laws regulating the universe and anything that happens, regardless of time or place. Moreover, His knowledge is boundless, for He knows the names of all new-born babies at any moment, every leaf falling from every tree, what will happen to each star in each galaxy, whatever happens in space at any moment, what is hidden in every living thing's DNA, and an infinite number of other things.
We must always keep the following fact in mind: In addition to what has been mentioned above, Allah knows all of our thoughts and our most secret acts. We assume that we alone are aware of our feelings, thoughts, or distress. But this is a delusion, for Allah, Who holds complete control over every point of the universe, knows what is in each person's mind and everything else. Indeed, the Qur'an informs us about Allah's infinite knowledge:
Do you not see that everyone in the heavens and Earth glorifies Allah, as do the birds with their outspread wings? Each one knows its prayer and glorification. Allah knows what they do. ( Surat an-Nur, 24:41)
See how they wrap themselves round, trying to conceal their feelings from Him! No, indeed! When they wrap their garments round themselves, He knows what they keep secret and what they make public. He knows what their hearts contain. (Surah Hud, 11:5)

3788 Motoryacht — By Capt. Bill Pike
— July 2000
Package Deal
|Bayliner's 3788 Motoryacht has all the basics you need and all the options you desire.
I got my first look at Bayliner's 3788 Motoryacht while peering through the windows of a plush waiting room at Mercury Marine's Mercabo Conference Center in Placida, Florida, a palm-shaded, out-of-the-way spot at the disposal of Bayliner Marine and other Brunswick subsidiaries for meetings and get-togethers. The boat was docked nearby, in a large basin that opens into the ICW and the Gulf of Mexico beyond. Despite the earliness of the hour, a whole bunch of Bayliner dealers and their families were onboard, folks who'd come from all over the country to spend a few days examining, test driving, and ultimately offering opinions and suggestions about the two-stateroom-one-head prototype. A savvy way of doing things, it seemed to me–tweaking a new model with input from people with first-hand knowledge of today's boat buyers.
I watched the 3788 leave her berth and head out for one last ICW run before everybody went home. Her profile was a mixture of modern curves and traditional angular lines, the most dramatic being a near-straight sheerline. It was certainly a distinctive look.
With time on my hands, I ambled down to Mercabo's cafeteria for breakfast, where I met Bayliner's Lee Taubeneck, who filled me in on another distinctive aspect of the 3788: an array of option packages that allow a customer to personalize his or her boat before taking delivery. Taubeneck noted two factory-installed electronics packages for either the standard upper steering station or optional lower one. The basic package consists of a 24-NM Raytheon RL 70 RC LCD radar/GPS plotter with a closed-array scanner. The other, premium package offers a 48-NM Raytheon RL 70 RC with a larger closed-array scanner, a Raytheon ST 6000 autopilot, and other goodies. Either way, the new owner is relieved of a whole lot of outfitting hassle.
There is a host of other option packages as well. A hardware-type package includes a Lewmar windlass, central vacuum system, ACR spotlight, transom shower, and raw-water washdown. An entertainment-oriented combo adds a 12-disc CD changer to the standard JVC AM/FM stereo/CD in the saloon, as well as TV and telephone jacks, extra speakers, and a remote control for the stereo on the flying bridge. Others offer everything from gasoline and diesel gensets to an upgrade from the standard LPG galley stove to an electric model, including a requisite boost in dockside service to 50 amps.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/6/2013 (1516 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A former staffer for the late Jack Layton, the federal NDP leader whose career was cut much too short by cancer, once remarked to me he and other handlers always took special precautions any time the leader was asked to make a public appearance at a professional sporting event.
Most politicians will tell you they hate doing sporting events. A combination of pre-game anticipation and copious amounts of beer make these gigs the suicide missions of politics.
As a result, if Layton was asked to drop a puck or toss out a first pitch, staff would make sure he was accompanied by children. "You can't boo kids," the staffer said.
Mayor Sam Katz is probably wishing he was flanked by kids on Thursday night when he participated in the Winnipeg Blue Bomber pre-game ceremonies at the spiffy new Investors Group Field. When he was announced, a goodly portion of the 33,500 fans rained guttural disdain down on the mayor.
Now, they also booed Bomber CEO Garth Buchko, for reasons that are not entirely clear. Perhaps it was in response to the traffic and logistical problems that affected earlier events at the stadium. Or because the stadium opened a year later than planned. Or maybe they just started booing Katz and kept going when Buchko was announced next.
That's the thing about incidents like this: It's impossible to tell exactly what the crowd is trying to say when they boo someone. It's even impossible to know if everyone is booing for the same reason. For that reason, it would be unfair to read too much into the reaction Katz got Thursday night.
It is true the mayor has had a rough ride at city hall recently, and there are no doubt some in this city who would boo him any chance they got. However, this reaction seemed to be more indiscriminate. Politicians are not generally held in high regard, and when we see an elected official standing out in the middle of an expansive football field, with nothing to protect them from whatever sentiment is coursing through the crowd, it's hard to resist a hearty boo.
Over my years covering politics, I have seen mayors, premiers and even prime ministers booed at public events. Although it seems to be harder to boo a prime minister than any other elected official. Even though people may have strong opinions about a prime minister's performance, he or she is still the prime minister. And as such, they seem to receive a higher degree of deference.
Premier Greg Selinger, it should be noted, avoided Katz's fate by avoiding Thursday's pre-game ceremonies altogether. Just his luck, he had to meet with western premiers and governors in Utah. One can only imagine how Selinger, now on the defensive for introducing a one-point increase in the provincial sales tax, would have fared had he been part of the pre-game ceremonies. Junior minister Kevin Chief stood in for Selinger and did not receive much of a reaction at all.
What is fascinating about these spontaneous outpourings of emotion is how entirely detached they are from the reality of the situation. Like the reality the new Bomber stadium would not exist were it not for Selinger, Katz and a boatload of taxpayer money.
Many citizens are no doubt still debating the sanity of pouring public money into a football stadium. But it's safe to assume the gross majority of those at the stadium Thursday thought it was a reasonable thing to do. You might even think they had some love for the politicians who got the deal done.
Let's just consider the extent of the grant and loans provided to the Bombers to build this grand new stadium. The city provided $7.5 million in direct grants; the province kicked in $22.5 million in non-repayable support.
The province also loaned the football club $160 million to build the stadium. Part of the loan ($75 million) will be paid off with property taxes generated by new development on the old Polo Park stadium site. The other part of the loan ($85 million) will be paid off from stadium operating profits.
No one is suggesting Selinger or Katz need to overlook their more unpopular decisions. However, it might be reasonable, even justified, to give thanks where thanks is due.
It's hard to say when either politician will get a chance to participate in an event such as the stadium-opening ceremonies again. Perhaps the next time someone invites them to perform some ceremonial duties at a sporting event, if either or both politician is still holding office they can borrow a couple of small children to accompany them.
It couldn't go any worse.

Engines — By
the PMY staff
Gasoline — Volvo Penta
|2001 Engine Preview
To combat corrosion, Volvo Penta's gasoline inboards are now fully coated using an electro-deposition process. Since opposites attract, the result is a uniform coating even in inaccessible areas. Trouble spots such as the exhaust manifolds are treated inside and out, and the oil pans on these engines are now all-aluminum.
Volvo Penta's newly designed boat wiring system connection and electrical circuit protection box should promise easier installation and decreased chance of electrical malfunction. Regular maintenance is kept to a minimum thanks in part to the continued use of long-life coolant and the durable, platinum-tipped spark plugs introduced last year. And Volvo Penta has gone GM's all-in-one Serpentine Belt system one better by adding an automatic spring tensioner.
Volvo Penta has also come out with a new engine using GM's 5.7 liter block. Apparently the company has taken a cue from Silicon Valley, where packing ever more power into smaller, more affordable machines is a way of life. The Swedes are touting their new 5.7-liter GXi as an economical workhorse. Harnessed to its DuoProp drive, it puts out 315 hp, making it comparable to last year's 7.4-liter Gi, but smaller, nearly 17 percent lighter, and less expensive. The 5.7 GXi, like all of Volvo Penta's gasoline inboards, is covered by a two-year limited factory warranty.

I had them match my custom colors, and it was perfect. Color is great, quality is high. They are stickers and peel off easily. Highly recommend!"

Riding with Pashnit Tours:
Exploring the California Central Coast
A Motorcycle Ride through the Land of Oz
I love to ride. And if you are reading this, you probably do also. And each Spring, a season of riding starts anew. Lately here in California, we've had an intense amount of rain. The most in 10 years they say. All the reservoirs are full, the ground is saturated, and last month, it rained for 25 days out of 31. There's so much water, they're giving it away. I'm told they set a record up at Mammoth- over 700 inches of snow. And 100 miles to the east of our tour, a state of disaster was declared in the Central Valley with its extensive levee system (nearly 1000 miles of) pushed to the limit, and just days after the tour, even the President of the United States came to visit.
So as our tour date approached, myself and all the tour participants held our breath and checked the weather like rabid sports fans desperate for the latest scores. As it turned out, the predictions changed every day, twice a day, and in the end, didn't match up with reality anyway. Oh well, so much for predicting the weather.
So with no further delay... I give you
A little sidenote: One of the things I was working on with this trip in terms of the photography was shooting a lot of photography in portrait mode, in other words, tall pics vs. wider landscape shots. Each trip I work on something new, and build off the previous ride. I was asked to share some more photo tips awhile back, and continue the previous text on my photography in the previous trip so I'll do a bit of that along the way. Maybe some of you will get something out of it (ntm, the previous thread is approaching 20,000 views so somebody must be reading this).
Meeting along the edge of San Francisco, at the base of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Fellow Tour Guide Tim says Hi to all of you, Joseph looks on
Meeting the new riders for the first time, Breck, Dianne, Kevin & Rick
As was usual on a Pashnit Tour, there was quite the variety of bikes. The hallmark of a Pashnit Tour is variety and this one was no different. I had been in contact with Andy and Malie for months prior trying to coincide our schedules. Malie is a Rep for a Publishing Company in London, England. She was lucky enough to coincide a business trip with our tour.
Malie & Andy (pronounced Mah-lee)
She was accompanied by her husband Andy, who's a sales rep for Wrigglys Chewing Gum. Which he happened to mention is a 5 billion dollar a year business. Just chewing gum. Just Wriggleys. Lot of money sitting on the undersides of tables. Andy rides a SV650 and they live on the north side of London. They rented a BMW 1150GS from Dubbelju.com, had actually contemplated a 14 day tour, but our 3-Day Weekend Tour in the end was perfect for them.
There was another couple on the ride, Joseph and Dianne (above) flew in from Houston, Texas picking up a Honda Goldwing from Moturis in San Leandro. Joseph has been in Venture Capital for over 30 years, is a Vietnam Veteran and shared a few war stories with us, as he was an officer during the war, and had seen his share of combat. With a wink, he made it clear that he could get away with more than the average person. After all, he was from Texas.
Joseph & Dianne's Goldwing
Rick also joined our ride and in chatting with him, we quickly got engrossed in talking all about his classic cars- he owns 4. His daily driver is a 1970 Chevelle station wagon. He had recently gotten back into riding and was aboard the ultimate sport-touring machine of its time. A '94 Honda VFR in red. Wouldn't have it any other way. One of the things Rick was going to do when he got back from the tour was go climb Mt. Rainer. All in a days work.
Rick's VFR
Breck came down from Plumas Lake on a new V-Strom. He owns a Civil Engineering company which installs & maintains all the cell phone towers in far-flung places. Many of them only accesible by a 4x4 or dirt bike. So his other bike is naturally a KLR650, a bike that does nothing well and but can do all things (or however the saying goes). One of the interesting things that Breck was involved in was large-scale model rockets. As in rockets 20 feet tall, that could reach heights of 50,000 feet or more. These devout hobbyists often build the rocket themselves, then head out to the Black Rock Desert north of Reno, Nevada and fire them off. These rockets go so high, they have to file a flight plan with the FAA before the clubs launch their diverse cadre of rockets.
Breck's V-Strom
Kevin was a new rider that had only been riding for 5 months or so. His bike was a BMW R1150R Rockster, a mean lookin' streetfighter style motorcycle that mysteriously didn't sound like a BMW. It may have had something to do with a missing baffle or two Kevin seemed to have misplaced, but we really couldn't be sure. Kevin works in finance for the San Francisco Airport and used to own a bicycle shop in the Bay Area.

Why on Earth Is It Illegal for Unmarried Couples to Live Together in Florida?
An antiquated law prohibits the cohabitation of unmarried couples in Florida. This is WEIRD.
-Lucia Peters
Does anyone else think it's weird that it's illegal to cohabit with your significant other in Florida? Because it's true: Unmarried couples cannot legally live together in the state of Florida. What?!
According to the Sun Sentinel, cohabitation of unmarried people is a second-degree misdemeanor. The punishment for the crime? A fine of $500 or up to 60 days in jail. But that's not all. Want to know the REALLY weird thing? This penalty is the same one that applies to adulterers. Exactly how living in an unmarried monogamous relationship is equitable to cheating on one's spouse remains a mystery to me.
Or, y'know, how living with a roommate who happens to be the opposite sex fits into the issue. That's a mystery, too. Want to room with your best friend who happens to be of the opposite gender as you? Sorry. Can't do it. It's against the law. Even if there's no hanky-panky going on, you absolutely cannot have opposite-sex roommates. At least there's some victory to be found in in this bizarre law, though; Jezebel noted that since it only applies to opposite-sex cohabitation, gay couples can freely and legally live together. Hoorah for loopholes!
Is the anti-cohabitation law antiquated? You betcha. It's been around since the 1800s, and as we frequently find throughout history, there comes a point when we realize that things that might have made sense once upon a time no longer do. So, Rep. Ritch Workman has made it his mission to get rid of some of the weirder, outdated laws in Florida, including the anti-cohabitation one. Also on the docket are laws that require bicycle riders to keep one hand on the handle bars at all times (this makes sense from a safety standpoint, but come on. Doesn't the law have more important things to be worrying about than bikers and their handle bars), as well as the one that makes adultery a punishable offense.
Read Ask the Mouthy Housewives: Laid Off and Not Getting Laid
Alas, it might take a while for Workman's efforts to bear fruit—and there's still the very real possibility that they won't at all. Reactions have ranged from casual dismissal—Governor Rick Scott's spokeswoman Amy Graham stated, "This isn't an issue the governor is focused on"—to outright opposition—Rep. Dennis Baxley said, "I'm not ready to give up on monogamy and a cultural statement that marriage still matters." It's extremely likely that conservatives concerned with "family values" will lobby hard against Workman, ostensibly, speculated Jezebel, "to prevent Floridians from sinking into a state of moral depravity."
And there's another concern with this whole issue, as well. It has to do with that loophole I mentioned earlier. Part of me worries that even if Workman does manage to get the anti-cohabitation law repealed, someone somewhere in the state will figure out a way to reverse that loophole—that is, to make it illegal for gay couples to cohabit. If that happens, it's a one-step-forward, two-steps-back situation, which is an incredibly depressing thought.
Then again, maybe I'm being too pessimistic about it. At least SOMEONE is trying to do something about silly laws that are at least 100 years out of date. Right?

Wireless DIY Home Surveillance Solution
This 4-camera digital surveillance kit is a perfect choice for home or small business installation. The cameras broadcast a digital 2.4 GHz signal to negate outside interference and signal "crossover." The USB receiver plugs directly into a Windows PC, capturing video directly on your computer with the included software. You can even set up remote viewing from another PC, streaming your video over the internet.
Power the cameras with AC power and broadcast their signal up to 400 feet. Full-color video during the day, they automatically switch to black-and-white nightvision recording in low light. Nightvision has a 50-foot range in a 92-degree field of view. Detect motion up to 30 feet from the cameras and set the software to email you notifications when something moves within range of a camera. Whether you want to monitor indoors, outdoors, or a combination, this is the ideal DIY home surveillance system.
There's no need to hire someone to install this surveillance system; do it yourself in as little as a few minutes. All you need to do is set up the cameras where you want to record, connect them to power, and install the included software on your Windows PC to be able to record video day or night.

Digital Elevation Model (DEM) Discovery Portal
NCEI created a geospatial online catalog that links to web-published digital elevation models (DEMs). This "DEM Discovery Portal" uses an ArcGIS map interface to locate, preview, and link to DEM web pages for download. DEMs may be bathymetric, topographic, or a merged combination of both. They also range from high-resolution coastal DEMs for local studies to coarser DEMs with global coverage. DEM usage ranges from ecologists mapping fish habitat to hurricane modelers estimating coastal storm-surge inundation.

Top 10 Countdown of the best Summerslam matches of all-time!!
by, 07-26-2012 at 05:21 PM (14077 Views)
Summerslam is a big 4 ppv that WWE believes is the #2 ppv behind Wrestlemania of the year. I don't believe that is true, but Summerslam has had its good and bad moments as I've already covered. Now it is time to discuss the best matches in the history of the ppv. I'll give you my personal top 10 that I believe are the 10 best of all-time. Don't claim it to be fact, it is my opinion. I made a huge list of matches breaking it down to 10 and some were unquestioned top 10 while others were tough to leave off. Top 10 matches in Summerslam history:
10.Mankind vs Taker 96-Boiler room brawl that began hardcore action we would see in later years. Some liked it while others didn't, but to me it was a classic. Especially because the ending of the match. To me, the best fued Taker has ever had was with Mankind. No one saw it coming with Bearer turning on him and him becoming Mankinds Uncle. I think it was good for Taker to go on his own for a while and it ended up having Bearer bringing the Kane character in we love today which even makes it a bigger plus.
9.Stone Cold vs Angle 01-1 of the best rivalrys either has had in this business in my opinion. Memories of when Angle led WWE vs the Alliance aka ECW/WCW faction. Stone Cold turned on WWE at Invasion because Vince giving hugs to Angle. It also began a "What?" chant that we still hear to this day. Milk truck on Raw, Angle's medal thrown over the bridge, Austin crying near the bridge with Angle pushing him in a pull making him think he is drowning blindfolded. The fans knew after that match Angle was for real when he kicked out of 3 stunners. These two put on a great match that ended crappy with a DQ, but can't deny it was a classic. Angle won it at Unforgiven with family and friends in the ring hoisting him up in the air in Pittsburgh. Probably the biggest victory of Angle's storied career.
8.HHH vs Rock 98-I've watched more highlights of this match than just about any other match in WWE history. Why? I owned a video that I watched more than a couple of times because it only lasted an hour. What makes the match special to me is the commentary of the classic calls JR and Lawler made of that match talking about Sosa and McGuire during the match. The factions of DX and the Nation of Domination made it even more special that Summer. Street fight on Raw between the two groups, putting a foreclift in front of DX's locker room so Nation could embarrass Chyna in the middle of the ring with all the insults by the Rock, and the heat Rock received in that fued made him a main event star I believe. In my personal opinion, HHH vs Rock is the 2nd best fued in the history of the WWE behind Austin/Vince.
7.Benoit vs Jericho 2-3 falls 2000-Jericho/Benoit put on some great matches at big events like Summerslam, WM, and even the Royal Rumble all over the mainly the IC title. These two put on a show like no other could on the card which is of course why they made this list. Moves back and forth with counter holds during the match. Just a fantastic performance!! People wonder why WWE had its best year in 2000? Benoit/Angle/Jericho/Eddie IC title bouts, Rock/Foley/HHH/Angle/Taker, Tag division: Too Cool/APA/New Age Outlaws/Hardyz/Dudleyz/E+C, womens: Lita/Ivory/chyna/Steph/Jackie solid core. WWE needs to get a solid core if they want people to tune in now like they had than.
6.Razor Ramon vs HBK 94-The rematch of a classic Ladder match for the IC title. When you talk about Ladder match history, HBK vs Razor comes to mind when they took the roof off at WM 10. Bret vs HBK was actually the 1st Ladder match. These two we are talking about put it on the map. The rematch didn't disappoint with HBK winning that go round.
5.Bret vs Owen-Brother vs Brother at Summerslam for the WWE title. A lot of people call it the best cage match in WWE history especially when you talk no blood being involved making this a memorable match. Still ticks some folks off it didn't main event aka last match at Summerslam 1994. The main event that followed was what some call 1 of the worst matches in the history of Summerslam: Undertaker vs Undertaker. Talking about wrestling, few were better than Owen and Bret. Something both were proud of being on a ppv battling for a world title.
4.Mr.Perfect vs Bret Hart 91-Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this was Bret's 1st IC title victory. In any case, they put on a show at Summerslam 91. Perfect passed the torch to Bret Hart the prestigous IC title. Some people call HBK Mr.Wrestlemania....if you had to call someone Mr.Summerslam it would be Bret Hart. I would probably label this match Mr.Perfect's best match in his career. I watched his DVD which makes me even more realize how good Perfect was. 1 of the best never to win the big 1 in WCW or WWE. He did however hold the AWA world title. Knowing Perfect wrestled with a back injury makes it even more amazing of a performance. Some could argue it is the best match in the history of Summerslam.
3.TLC 2000-Mick Foley the commish at the time put together a match at Summerslam not seen in the WWE before: Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match. They did however use those weapons in their first Wrestlemania Ladder match at 2000, but during that Summer rivalry got even more personal with Hardyz being the masters of the Ladders with obviously Dudleyz putting several people through tables. E+C started to become the masters of the chairs by sandwiching someones skull in between the chairs which led to this match in which was in the Hardyz hometown. WWE must have not wanted it to be obvious and let the hometown boys win the gold, but we were all hoping it which gave E+C even more heat. I don't believe that TLC was the best, but it was certainly better than WM 17s if you ask me. I hated the involvement of Lita, Spike, and Rhino. Ladder matches we still talk about til this day as most of the matches on this list.
2.HBK vs HHH 02-Street fight between former friends in what some call 1 of the best rivalries ever in this business. HBK returned in 2002 and didn't miss a beat ending up winning the world title while coming back full-time because he was so great which HBK is. The ppv of 2002 is regarded as 1 of the best ppvs ever produced by WWE. The match to me was a classic.
1.British Bulldog vs Bret Hart 92-London, England Wembly Stadium was packed to see IC title match to end the show with hometown hero Bulldog in the main event winning the IC title. Match is not only argued by some as the best match in the history of Summerslam, but all-time by some folks which speaks huge volumes. This match showed how much the IC title actually meant at that time and made Bret Hart a main event talent. I think we are overdue for a ppv in a different country. It brings a lot more meaning to the event the memories of that event, WM 18, 6, Canadian Stampede and so forth. They should do 1 once a year on ppv if you ask me.
Honorable mention: Jeff Hardy vs RVD ladder; Angle vs Lesnar; Bret vs Taker; Taker vs Austin
Decided to convert my top 10s to countdowns because I believe it builds more anticipation as you read or look over the post. Don't want to give your readers what they want just by a click. Let them build some anticipation to see what is #1 on my lists. I may respond with the worst matches in the history of Summerslam. Unfortunately for Taker, he is on the list on more than one occassion. Hope you enjoyed the read or at least liked my top 10. This is to help build some anticipation for Summerslam.

Lucky GuessesLogic Grid puzzles come with a handy interactive grid that will help you solve the puzzle based on the given clues.
On a rainy night, five gnomish characters huddled on stools at the bar of Rumplestiltskin's Place and told their sad tales. Each had once had the good fortune to come across a beautiful maiden who was desperate to complete a different formidable task to win a king's hand in marriage. Each gnome agreed to help, but only in exchange for the maiden's first born child. Although the women hastily agreed, when the time came to pay their dues, they naturally resisted. Each gnome offered one final bargain. If the maiden could guess his name, she could keep her new born baby. Since each gnome had a rather odd name, he felt safe in offering the maiden a different number of guesses. Each was therefore horrified when he returned to the woman only to hear her promptly and calmly reciting his name! From the information provided, can you determine the name of the gnome who helped each woman and the task she had to complete, as well as the number of guesses each woman was given?
Gnomes: Arklesblatt, Dinkleberry, Haycocklebloo, Sneedermon, Zizzyrimple
Women: Bianca, Diana, Ione, Katrina, Valerie
Task: Crush rocks into diamonds, Roll roses into rubies, Spin flax into silver, Stir broth into myrrh, Stomp string into silk.
# of Guesses: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
1. The woman who needed to spin flax into silver (who isn't Diana) didn't negotiate with Haycocklebloo. Dinkleberry didn't give a queen either two or three guesses.
2. Queen Katrina was given fewer guesses than the woman helped by Sneedermon (who didn't get either four or six guesses) but more chances than the lady Zizzyrimple assisted.
3. Valerie promised the king that she could roll roses into rubies. Neither Arklesblatt nor Haycocklebloo helped either Valerie or Diana. With Zizzyrimple's assistance, Ione won the king's hand in marriage.
4. The woman who was given six guesses (who isn't the one Dinkleberry helped) isn't the one who vowed she could stir broth into myrrh.
5. Bianca (who wasn't required to spin flax into silver) is neither the woman Haycocklebloo helped nor the one who was trying to crush rocks into diamonds. Diana wasn't granted four guesses.
HintNote the tasks on the grid were condensed to fit in the spaces provided. (i.e. Rock/Diamond = Crush Rocks into Diamonds, etc.)
AnswerArklesblatt, Bianca, stomp string into silk, 6
Dinkleberry, Valerie, roll roses into rubies, 4
Haycocklebloo, Katrina, stir broth into myrrh, 3
Sneedermon, Diana, crush rocks into diamonds, 5
Zizzyrimple, Ione, spin flax into silver, 2

Where are my Clinique fans at? I know you're a loyal bunch. And if you're one of them, then you probably already know about this amazing facial moisturizer.
Clinique's Moisture Surge Intense Skin Fortifying Hydrator ($36) is a tall drink of water for your skin. Seriously. It literally feels hydrating when you're applying it. I will tell you I have combination skin. That means it's oily in some areas and dry in others. This is ideally for Very Dry to Dry and Dry Combination skin types. If you have oily skin, then this is not for you.
"Rich, oil-free cream-gel instantly rehydrates. Skin stays comfortably plumped, even 24 hours after you put it on. Daily use helps fortify and repair skin's moisture barrier to keep moisture in, environmental irritants out. Better barrier, happier skin." –Clinique.com
I applied this moisturizer on my face after getting out of the shower, because that's when my face feels the driest. You only need a small amount for the entire face. It's very light and leaves the skin feeling dewy. I will admit, because of my skin type and the oily areas of my face, I can't wear this under my foundation during warmer weather. My forehead will get oilier than usual. This just goes to prove it's for skins on the drier side and my skin during the winter. I love using it when I know I'm staying in for the day and not applying makeup.
Do you have dry skin? Have you tried Clinique's Moisture Surge Intense Skin Fortifying Hydrator? What do you think?

Monday Night is Movie night!
Contributed by Jean Celeste-Astorina on 04/03/13
Come watch a movie about some amazing athletes, enjoy refreshments, and don't spend a dime!
On Monday, April 8, at 7:00 p.m. in Textor 101, the Diversity Awareness Committee will host a free public showing of the movie Murderball.
Murderball is a fast-paced, exciting athletic documentary film with unexpected yet fascinating protagonists: quadriplegic athletes who play wheelchair rugby. It centers on the rivalry between the Canadian and U.S. teams leading up to the 2004 Paralympic Games. Many of the athletes featured in Murderball had catastrophic accidents during the prime of their lives.
"In less than an hour and a half, the athletes profiled in the documentary will frustrate you, amaze you, make you laugh and make you cry — but you'll never feel sorry for them," wrote Peter Hartlaub in the San Francisco Chronicle.
This movie shows that that not only does life go on, but it can be lived to the fullest.
Come see for yourself!
Individuals with disabilities requiring accommodations should contact Jean Celeste-Astorina at firstname.lastname@example.com or (607) 274-1005. We ask that requests for accommodations be made as soon as possible.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 17/5/2013 (1557 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The ritual is commonly referred to as a spiritual high and a sanctification of femininity, and is considered the cornerstone of Jewish family and community life.
Yet, the mitzva of mikva is one of the most mysterious and misunderstood of the Jewish commandments.
A mikva is a ritual bath that is used primarily, although not exclusively, by observant Jewish women. Immersion in the mikva represents spiritual cleansing, renewal and rebirth.
There are three mikvas in Winnipeg. The newest one is housed in the ground level of the Jewish Learning Centre (JLC), which opened in River Heights in 2010, and is accessed by appointment only through an unmarked, discreet door. The mikva pool is mostly filled with rainwater that is channelled from the roof through an intricate system of pipes and ingenuity.
"The commandments related to the mikva are fundamental to Judaism," explains Rabbi Shmuly Altein, director of Adult Education at the JLC.
"The building of a mikva is more important than the building of a synagogue. A community can even sell a Torah in order to build or make a mikva."
The mikva ritual is part of a collection of halacha, or Jewish laws, known as taharat hamishpacha, the purity of the family. At their most basic level, these laws are designed to enhance both respect and intimacy between husband and wife.
According to taharat hamishpacha, married women are required to immerse themselves in the purifying waters of the mikva on a monthly basis, seven days after the end of their menstrual cycle. Following this immersion, husbands and wives can resume intimacy, which had been put on hold during the prior two weeks.
Women also use the mikva after childbirth and on the eve of their marriage. Although not required to by Jewish law, men often avail themselves of the mikva for spiritual cleansing before morning prayers, the Sabbath and the holy day of Yom Kippur.
As well, mikva submersion is a vital step in the process of conversion to Judaism.
Before immersing themselves in the mikva, women and men must undergo diligent preparations, bathing, carefully combing out their hair, trimming their nails and removing all makeup and jewelery. These preparations are generally carried out in the privacy of their home or in special rooms that directly access the mikva pool.
The actual immersion in the mikva is witnessed by a pool attendant and accompanied by the recitation of a special blessing. The entire body must be completed enveloped by the water, so that, symbolically there is nothing coming between God and the person submerging.
"In Winnipeg about 50 women use the mikva on a monthly basis, both orthodox and non-orthodox," says Adina Altein, who is one of the JLC's five mikva attendants. "They are a very diverse group of women both in age and levels of observance."
The mikva ritual provides women with many practical, emotional and health benefits and puts them in tune with their bodies, she adds.
"For many women this is the one mitzva that they choose to keep. They recognize the importance and see the positive impact it has on their life."
Actress Mayim Bialik, of television's The Big Bang Theory, writes enthusiastically about the mikva in her blog on Kveller.com.
"When you go, it's a beautiful moment of physical and emotional cleansing during which time you can feel truly and completely pure," she says. "When I close my eyes and go under the water, it's silent and it's warm and I feel really safe."
The mikva ritual, like most faith-based traditions, also connects Jews to their past. All modern day mikvas, regardless of their spa-like atmosphere, muted lighting and tiled pool flooring, conform to the same halachically determined standards that governed the construction of mikvas 2,000 years ago. Many of these ancient mikvas have been excavated in the old city of Jerusalem near the remains of the Second Jewish Temple.

WANDERERS are backing under-pressure boss Dougie Freedman to turn round results as the club slid towards the relegation zone with Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Ipswich.
It is understood that the embattled boss has got the support of owner Eddie Davies and chairman Phil Gartside amidst a worrying run of form which has seen them drop to 20th in the Championship table.
Wanderers have won just one of their last nine games and stand just four points outside the bottom three.
But Freedman insisted after Saturday's slender defeat at Portman Road that he was still the man to lead the club out of danger and asked for the fans' support in what he felt was a key run of fixtures in the next month. "It's a wonderful club and it's one I want to take forward but right now we're in a difficult moment," he said.
"It's not a time I want to start blaming people, that's not my style. Of course I'm responsible; I'll take the blame if people are dishing it out.
"But I need to make sure we're all in it together and that includes the fans. Yes, we are letting the away fans down right now, but we have got an opportunity to win some games at home and I'm sure we can do that.
"We just need that win, and with four home games coming up I think we'll be talking a different game in a few weeks."
Wanderers were 20th at this stage of last season, three points off the bottom three, and 13 off the play-offs.
Hopes of emulating last term's charge up the table are virtually non-existent among supporters, however, and their frustration was exacerbated by the lack of defensive or attacking additions before Friday's transfer deadline.
Freedman assured fans every effort was made to secure his targets – and he remains hopeful of bringing in new faces when the loan window reopens.
"It's difficult right now but there's no need to sit here and blaming things – is it the finances, is it this or that," he said. "We tried very hard to get someone in within our means but it wasn't to be.
"In my experience this is not the time to be blaming people or panicking. This is a time to regroup, get together and be honest with the fans – this is where we are."
Craig Dawson was a name on everyone's lips when he missed out on a loan move to Wigan Athletic at the last minute on Friday night.
The Latics are expected to go again for the former England Under-21 defender this week with a view to signing him next Friday when the window reopens for emergency loans.
Wanderers fans were frustrated that the player who has so long been a target of Freedman could slip out of reach, especially given that sources close to the player claim he would favour a move to the Reebok.
Freedman kept tight-lipped on the Dawson front but said that Trotter, brought in on loan from Millwall would be a good addition to his squad.
"Craig Dawson is a West Brom player so I can't really comment," he said.
"But I thought that Liam Trotter would give us that little bit more power through the midfield area.
"He's Championship proven, hungry, with lots of desire.
"That's what kind of players we need to sign."

Arnold Schwarzenegger's return to showbiz has succeeded in one way: He's a hit in late-night.

The former California governor has been preparing a return to Hollywood, but becoming a punch line wasn't on the agenda. Yet that's exactly what's happened since Schwarzenegger acknowledged Tuesday that he had fathered a child of a longtime household staff member more than a decade ago. The revelation followed last week's separation of Schwarzenegger and his wife of 25 years, Maria Shriver.
Everyone has lined up with their Schwarzenegger impression and puns on movie titles like "Twins" and "True Lies." Schwarzenegger has long been a source of parody, but these revelations threaten to sully the generally positive image he's created over decades of moviemaking and seven years in government.Story: Shriver takes dig at Arnold at Oprah taping
Many believe Schwarzenegger — who had been positioning himself as a highly paid speaker and green energy advocate — is politically relegated to John Edwards oblivion. Showbiz, however, can be forgiving of even the most appalling indiscretions. But the 63-year-old Schwarzenegger may have made rejuvenating his dormant movie career more challenging.
It doesn't help that the first project Schwarzenegger announced after leaving office in January was a children's cartoon, to be globally distributed by a company called Your Family Entertainment.Story: Mansion where Arnold's affair began is for sale
"The Governator" is a planned animated TV series, which is also to be spun into a comic book, video game and movie. It's a production of famed comic book author Stan Lee's Pow! Entertainment, Archie Comics and A2 Entertainment, and while it already has international deals, it doesn't yet have a U.S. network home. Schwarzenegger touted it at a press conference in Cannes and in an Entertainment Weekly cover story.

The show, in which he voices a superhero character, is to draw heavily from Schwarzenegger's personal life. At one point, Schwarzenegger said that Shriver was to voice a character, too, but those plans were scuttled.
Last week, Lee said Schwarzenegger's separation merely meant that the series will now include "a lot of girls having crushes on our hero."
"A2's 'Governator' animated series and its lore is fictional and stands on its merits," Andy Heyward, co-president of A2 Entertainment, said in a statement. "The series stands on its own and is going forward as such."Story: Son dropping Schwarzenegger's last name
He added: "Of course we wish the family the best in this challenging time."
Release is scheduled for late 2012.
Schwarzenegger told The Associated Press last month that his focus was now on show business, that "entertainment is the important thing right now." He's found Hollywood eager to welcome back an actor whose films have grossed more than $1.6 billion domestically, and whose international fame is greater than most A-list stars.
On the big screen, the most anticipation will fall on Schwarzenegger returning to arguably his most famous role: the cyborg in the "Terminator" films. 2009's "Terminator Salvation" attempted to reboot the franchise without him (Sam Worthington played the part) and made $125 million domestically, plus $246 million internationally.
The franchise is now being resuscitated for two more films. A package featuring Schwarzenegger as star, Justin Lin ("Fast Five") as director and Robert Cort producing was reportedly bought by Annapurna Films last week.
Annapurna Films declined to comment.Arnold's kids break silence on dad's infidelity
Schwarzenegger is also to star as a horse trainer in the planned drama "Cry Macho." It's scheduled to begin shooting in August, with Brad Furman ("The Lincoln Lawyer") directing a script based on the 1975 novel by N. Richard Nash.
For his rebooted movie career, veteran publicist Howard Bragman says the scandal is "a non-issue."
Son faces 'a lot of confusion'
"Moviegoing audiences have seen a lot worse from celebrities," says Bragman. "The moviegoing audience tends to be younger males, and they just don't care."
Schwarzenegger has generally drawn largely male audiences. Female viewers are seen as more likely to boycott a performer who has betrayed his wife.
"Probably shouldn't try to do a romantic comedy right away," Bragman says. "But I don't see any reason Arnold can't have a much better movie career than he had a political career."Will Maria Shriver talk to Oprah?
Though action films have generally favored the young, recent box office history suggests aging stars can be quite bankable. "Red," which starred Bruce Willis and Helen Mirren, earned more than $90 million domestically last year. Sylvester Stallone's "The Expendables" did even better, taking in $103 million domestically and an additional $171 million internationally.Story: Schwarzenegger's housekeeper now center of attention
The last time Schwarzenegger starred in a film was 2003's "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines." He's also made a handful of cameos, including in "The Expendables."
As bad as Schwarzenegger's image may be at the moment, many have recovered from seeming disaster. Though badly damaged from a prostitution scandal, Eliot Spitzer is now hosting "In the Arena" on CNN. Jude Law's image wasn't derailed after his affair with his children's former nanny. Hugh Grant eventually shook off his arrest with a prostitute.Art imitates life in Arnold's next movie
And it will likely be a year or more before any of his projects in development see the light of day. The landscape could be very different for Schwarzenegger by then — so long as further skeletons aren't revealed.

Tea shop owner Rob Perks feels so sorry for the cake-eating burglar who broke into his premises that he is offering help to feed the needy.
A thief got in through the back of Dutch Cottage and smashed items during a search, before stealing £10 from the tips jar and eating a chunk of coffee cake.
Deputy manager Dave Jarvis was first on the scene last Tuesday morning. He said: "It was a bit of a mess – glass on the floor, till on the floor, drawers forced open. The cake thing was unusual, I guess it was hungry work."
Owner Mr Perks said he thought it was a bleak sign of the times when people were breaking and entering in order to eat. He is now offering free food for the needy through Salvation Army meal vouchers.
He said: "My first reaction was to be angry but then I thought how sad it is. There wasn't much stolen in terms of value but it is a sad statement of the times.
"It's clearly someone with no money to go to that effort for a few pounds.
"A professional thief would not be stopping to take a bite of cake."
It is the second burglary at the tea room within a year. Last February, thieves took two joints of meat as well as charity boxes.
The business has also seen a couple of other, unsuccessful, attempts since opening in St Mary Street six years ago.
Mr Perks said: "I would rather try to help people than have them break in, so people who are entitled to the Salvation Army food bank will be able to get meal vouchers from the charity in Foghamshire to use at Dutch Cottage."
Police are appealing for information about the latest break-in, which took place between 10.45pm on Monday, January 28, and 8.30am on Tuesday, January 29.
Anyone with information can call PC Verity Ruffell at Wiltshire Police on 101.

By Varietal
This recipe incorporates flavorful southwestern spices and good-old American favorites for a festive burger combination.
The purpose of this burger was to capture the essence of New England, a region of America rich in history and tradition.
By combining two of my favorite sandwiches, Meatloaf and Burgers, a really good grilled burger results.
My inspiration for this recipe comes from a family-favorite that my mother has prepared for years! Her Boston-baked beans are a frequent request of family members and friends!
My inspiration for these burgers was the heady deliciousness of grilling beef outdoors over a hickory wood fire when I go camping. Tantalizing!
The flavors of the Southwest are abundant in this Tex-Mex inspired burger. Avocadoes, jalapenos, bell pepper, napolitos, bacon, tomato, onion, and cheddar cheese all on the same burger?
I was shopping at a grocery store when I noticed they carried Focaccia rolls. I thought they would be amazing with a cheeseburger because you could have a double cheese taste.
The honey mustard chips add a zesty twang to the patties that is unrivaled by anything you have ever tasted. Add the Wicked Mayo and this melt in your mouth burger will disappear in moments.
This is the Great American burger it combines quality ground beef with the flavors we love, bacon and mushroom.
