Day Five
Our Day In London
We spent the day in London and what a long day it was! Kate drove us to the train station this morning at 10:00AM and we just got home (11:45PM). We began the day at Liberty's - probably the most expensive and exclusive store in London. All the clothes, shoes, tableware, fabrics, you name it, there are designer labels. It was fun to poke around in all the various departments while Neil had a coffee and read his book at the cafe on the third floor. The cheapest scarf was $150.00Cdn. They were beautiful!
While walking in the direction of the National Gallery, we went by Hamley's, the 5 story toy store. I went immediately to the Schleich section and picked up about a dozen figurines of people, for my Playroom, that I hadn't ever seen in Canada. Neil bought a magic flying saucer.
Lunch was next on the agenda and we had a delicious pub lunch - Chicken curry sandwiches and fries.
We walked to the National Gallery after this and rented those electronic devices that tell you all about the painting and the painter at the touch of a button. We had a whirlwind tour of the Gallery because we had tickets to War Horse waiting for us at the theatre and we had to eat dinner first. Well, it seemed like a whirlwind tour but Neil assures me that we spent a good 3 hours there! It would take days to see and appreciate everything. And we didn't even make it to any of the 3 gift shops!
Neil was most impressed by the 15th century paintings with all the gold leaf and intricate details. We also saw a painting of a royal young woman from Europe who was being considered for marriage by Henry VIII. He didn't like her plain looks and rejected her as a candidate. Lucky her!
The water lilly and iris paintings by Manet were spectacular and of course I loved all of Van Gogh's paintings. Must be something about my Dutch birth.
We hoofed it over to the theatre to pick up our tickets and then had a lasagna dinner at a little restaurant called Canela in the theatre district. The play War Horse was just spectacular. It was about 3 hours long including the intermission. The stars of the show were the huge, life-size horse puppets operated by 3 men each. The story is emotionally powerful and there weren't many dry eyes in the theatre at the end of the show.
We walked to the Tube Station and when I went to get out my All Day Ticket, from my pocket, it had disappeared! Well, then I had to buy another ticket to get me home to Beckenham on the Tube and the train. That was a nasty surprise! Nevertheless, we had a wonderful day and an invigorating 20 minute walk back to Kate's from Beckenham train station.

Detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, his co-defendants, Chidiebere Onwudiwe, Benjamin Madubugwu and David Nwawuisi on Tuesday said that President Buhari is terrorist and that Ralph Uwazuruike, leader of the Biafra Independent Movement and founder of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra must come out and testify against them.
Nnamdi Kanu questioned why the government who tried a learned person saying: "You want to try somebody who is learned are you mad. How can you jail me idiots ?''
"Nigeria was created 1 January 1914 and Nigeria expired on 31 of December 1983 Nigeria is a fraud. I have nothing in common with an Hausa man and Yoruba man".
On his part, Benjamin Madubugwu who was visibly angry said that "Uwazuruike must come out and testify … Hausa Boko Haram everywhere. Try your father in secret not me and see idiots".
"Buhari committed treasonable felony in 1983'', "Nigeria is an expired country''
Do you see it we are even with handcuffs inside the court? This is what Buhari is dong. This is one of the intimidation. Can you see it? 'Secret trail to trial to defend Nigeria created by human beings", Benjamin Madubugwu said.
"Nigeria must fall, Nigeria must fall. They are killing my people".

2 Years Ago – Paulson and Oquist help make Magic the best "true team"
In October of 2012, the Magic girls swimming and diving team showed one of the strongest combinations of top-end talent and depth that the annually strong program has ever seen.
"That's the key," said Coach Tom Cannon at the time. "It's not about a couple of individuals. It's about having a solid group from top to bottom. This is a really good group."
The biggest evidence of that came during the 2010 True Team State Tournament, where the Magic racked up 2,149 points to win the State Championship. Monticello, who finished 88 points better than runner-up Hutchinson, did it with not only the help of their super studs Amanda Paulson and Caley Oquist, but with an entire team effort.
Paulson and Oquist did lead the way of course. Paulson captured the title in the 50-yard freestyle, and the 100-yard freestyle (where she won by a stunning 1.5) seconds, while also anchoring the leg of the championship 200-yard medley relay and swimming the first leg of the championship 400-yard freestyle relay.
Oquist was almost just as good. She joined Paulson on the medley relay, and picked up two titles of her own. In the 200-yard individual medley, Oquist won by nearly three seconds. Then in the 100-yard backstroke, Oquist cruised home for a winning time of 58.6, which was more than four seconds better than her closest competitor, teammate Anna Jensen.
Ashley Drazkowski also provided a big boost to the Magic. She swam on two winning relay teams, and earned silver in two other individual events. Drazkowski finished second to Mankato West swimmer Dani Nack in the 200-yard free, and was runner-up to Nack in the 500-yard freestyle as well.
Other swimmers who turned in big meets for the Magic included Kristina Lindquist, Paige Anderson and Katie Ruff.
19 Years ago – Option attack leads Magic to a homecoming victory
The Magic entered their 1993 homecoming battle against St. Francis having lost their previous four homecoming football games. This one started off like it might follow the same path. On the first drive of the game the Saints marched all the way down the field to take an early 7-0 lead. From there though, the 3-2 Magic took over.
Offensively, they ran the option to perfection. Quarterback John Klippenes made use of all three options, at times handing it to the full back, at times keeping it himself, and occasionally pitching the ball to his running back. The Magic responded on their opening drive, getting a Herb Hoheisel touchdown run to pull within 7-6.
In the second quarter, Monticello got the passing attack going. A 25-yard touchdown strike from Klippenes to Nate Holmstadt, followed by a two-point connection between the two, put Monticello up 14-7 at the half.
The Magic defense wouldn't need any more scoring. They relied on two factors to keep the pass happy Saints off the scoreboard for the rest of the night. One was a change for the week, they went to five defensive backs to try and match the athletes the Saints have on the field. Two was just an impressive performance by the defensive line. They pressured the Saints all night, and even knocked the starting quarterback out of the game just before halftime.
But just in case that lead didn't feel big enough, Justin Heying was there to add the insurance. Heying took the ball and went off tackle, breaking a couple of tackles before scampering 70-yards into the end zone. That touchdown would be the final score, giving the Magic a 20-7 homecoming victory, their first in half a decade.
27 Years Ago – Majchrzak, Lundblad and McConnon lead CC to first-ever state tournament
The Monticello boys cross country team capped off one of the top years in program history with a big win at the Region 2AA meet in 1985. Monticello, who had never sent a cross country team to the state tournament, scored just 55 points and beat second-place Mankato by 39 points.
On a warm and windy day in New Ulm, Monticello put three runners in the top ten at the meet. Oliver Majchrzak led the way, finishing second with a time of 16:36, just six seconds behind the meet champion from Hutchinson. Not too far behind were Pete Lundblad, finishing third, and Mark McConnon who placed ninth.
Joe Harrison was Monti's fourth runner, finishing in 20th place, while Don Holthaus rounded out the scoring with a 30th place finish.
Mankato West and Buffalo were the only two teams that managed to stay within 50 points of Monticello at the meet.
Monticello would go on to place sixth at the state tournament, led by Majchrzak's 26th-place finish.

|Dry vermouth
Serve up with an orange twist.
Adjust Benedictine depending on preferred sweetness
This is a variation of the Chrysanthemum Cocktail, first published in 1916 in Hugo Ensslin's "Recipes for Mixed Drinks". Ensslin uses equal parts vermouth and Benedictine and 2-3 dashes of absinthe.
From other users
- I like with 3/4 Benedictine.
- Found this much too sweet, even with benedictine reduced. Was improved by adding some Peychaud bitters, but wouldn't make it again.
Similar cocktails
- Dandelion — Dry vermouth, Herbal liqueur, Orange peel
- A More Perfect Union — Aromatized wine, Vodka, Apricot liqueur
- Royal Jamaica 10 Downing Street — Aromatized wine, Jamaican rum, White Crème de Cacao, Grapefruit peel
- Walking on Sunshine — Aromatized wine, Gin, Orange liqueur, Orange peel
- Pericolo — Aromatized wine, Gin, Pear eau de vie, Grapefruit peel

This and a duplex are both
Submitted by christina in tacoma on
This and a duplex are both great ways to use up dry vermouth. Other herbal liqueurs work as well as benedictine, and you can easily adjust proportions to taste. I'm not a big absinthe fan so I usually just add whatever bitters I'm in the mood for instead.

ROCK DREAMING is the product of a 40th birthday present part-owner Geoff Delaney hopes will keep giving.
The two-year-old is the second generation of an investment Delaney always wanted to make, but he goes to the track with some sadness after the lost of her dam Nediyms Dream.
"When I turned 40 my wife didn't get me a present," he said. "Instead she gave me permission to buy a racehorse. She knew it was something I always wanted to do.
"When she said I could get one, I had a friend of mine sitting next to me, who said his brother breeds horses, and that's how it started."
Delaney went to a stud and the first horse he looked at was Nediyms Dream. She was passed in at the sales, which gave Delaney the chance to buy a modest 10 per cent share.
"I just had a little bit of her but it is exciting to have a horse for us," he said. Nediyms Dream went on to win $208,000, including a James Carr Stakes, and ran several quality races in black-type mares company.
"It was my first experience of racing a horse and we were lucky to get a good one," Delaney said. "We wanted to breed from her but in the meanwhile I needed to get another horse, so we went out and bought a share in one which wasn't so successful."
Nediyms Dream went to boom stallion Fastnet Rock and produced a daughter, Rock Dreaming, but within 24 hours of foaling she died.
"It was quite sad to lose her because we hoped to get a couple more horses out and it made Rock Dreaming a little more special for all of us," Delaney said.
"She had to be brought up by a foster mum but took to that very quickly, which is always a concern when mum dies.
"She has always been a nice-looking filly and she has got to the track early on and we hope she might win a couple of races."
Like her mother, Rock Dreaming was sent to John O'Shea to be prepared and has shown enough ability to get the races before Christmas.
On debut a couple of weeks ago at Rosehill, she ran a distant fifth behind Certitude, but with that experience under her belt she is expected to improve in the second at Rosehill on Saturday.
"I picked up the paper before that first run and saw John had said she could be a Golden Slipper horse," Delaney said. "That is a big rap and there is not anywhere to hide when you say that. She did all right but was always going to improve from that first run. John has told us he expects her to develop into a very nice filly. If she can win a couple of races it might allow me to buy a share in another one. We would love if she could keep the family tradition going."

|Re: IAOC Communications Plan: Review Requested
|Simon Josefsson
|Wed, 02 May 2007 20:06:06 +0200
The plan says that the primary form of communication with the community will be in the form of a public Wiki. A "Wiki" is unfortunately not a precise term. I'm not sure it automatically imply that there are any indexes, a log of who made what changes when, or a search function, etc. I would suggest that it should be required that all pages are reachable from a single 'Table of Contents' page, that the log of changes in all files are available publicly, and that a list of recent changes is available. A search function would also be usable. Setting up a mailing list that receives notification of every change to the wiki is another idea. If these mechanisms are not in place someone could create a wiki page 'OnSomeThingObscure' and if that page was never linked from any other page, I doubt that anybody will find it. It seems incorrect to me to call writing such a page "communicating with the community".

Hadacol, a Cure-all Vitamin and Mineral Tonic
The peak year of the Hadacol fad was 1951, when sales approached $75,000,000. The medicine became a national institution in the 1940s and 1950s. It was a vitamin mixture in a 12% alcohol solution.
Martin Gardner mentions it at the end of chapter 18 of his book "Fads and Fallacies in the Name of Science" (1957)

Sen. Dudley J. LeBlanc.
The Hadacol king, Dudley J. LeBlanc, was a popular tonic manufacturer, salesman, radio personality, and politician. He became famous by taking groups of young ladies dressed in Evangeline costumes to Nova Scotia, and by touring the country with "caravans" of big-name celebrities to promote his product, Hadacol. He had a weekly radio program during which he spoke only Cajun French. As a state senator, he created the Louisiana Old Age Pension. He also wrote a book on the history of the Acadian people. He died in 1971 while running for another term, making it possible for his opponent, James E. Fontenot, to win the seat.
Some of the images here are from the Hadacol Caravans popular in the 1950's. View the pictures of Dudley with many famous people at the following link;
Cajun politician and entrepreneur Dudley J. "Couzin Dud" LeBlanc was born near Youngsville on August 16, 1894. He attended Southwestern Louisiana Institute, and during World War I served as a sergeant in the U.S. Army. In 1924 LeBlanc was elected a member of the Louisiana House of Representatives, and in 1926 became Public Service Commissioner. He served as State Senator from 1940 to 1944, 1948 to1952, and in 1964. In 1945 he established the Happy Day Company, which manufactured the popular Hadacol brand health tonic. LeBlanc promoted Hadacol extensively, sometimes using major entertainers as spokespersons. An active Cajun culture preservationist, LeBlanc served as president of the Association of Louisiana Acadians, and in the late 1960s helped to establish CODOFIL (Council for the Development of French in Louisiana). He authored three books: The True Story of the Acadians (1927); The Improved Version (1932); and The Acadian Miracle (1966, a revised and expanded version of his first book). LeBlanc appealed to political supporters via radio both in English and Cajun French, at a time when Cajun French was rarely heard on radio. He died on October 22, 1971, and was buried in Abbeville.
[Biographical information from Encyclopedia of Cajun Culture]
God's Warrior
Groucho Marx, on his radio program a few years ago, interviewed the inventor of Hadacol, Louisiana State Senator Dudley J. LeBlanc. When Groucho asked him what Hadacol was good for, LeBlanc gave an answer of startling honesty. "It was good," the senator said, "for five and a half million for me last year."
There was a popular song called "
Hadacol Boogie
" sometime in the early 1950s. .

text: Politics 25 October 2007 Back to the future Blogging is here to stay, so let's talk about the real challenges ahead Sign up for our weekly email * Perhaps, when I accepted the invitation back in February to speak at an event hosted by Spiked Online entitled "The Future of the Media", I genuinely believed there was something more to add to the debate. This past week, as I was planning what to say during my talk, I happened to mention it over dinner to a friend - the kind of friend who revels in the future; indeed, practically lives in it. "What kind of future?" he demanded. "Ten years, fifty?" I replied to the effect that he had probably missed the point. For as long as I can remember, groups of journalists have huddled together in venues across London to debate in earnest their future in the face of pervasive, networked communications platforms that are open and accessible to all comers. They have gasped in collective shock at the so-called "citizen journalist" and looked on in horror as their recasting of these individuals as "users", "generating content", has failed to make them go away. But as the editor of Spiked, Brendan O'Neill, pointed out on the night of the future media talk itself, pitching new media against old is a false battle. It is a way to blame technology for all the difficult developments in press and broadcasting over the past ten years - convergence of media ownership, commercial pressures, budget cuts and dumbing down. Indeed, if it is not blogging that has caused the decline in journalism, then perhaps it is the other way around. Even though many blogs are simply glorified scrapbooks of stories generated by the professional press, there are a few which stand out for that mix of fidelity, engagement and respect for detail that is becoming harder to find in conventional reportage. The best that come to mind are maintained by professionals and academics: Random Acts of Reality (which charts the life of a London Ambulance Service driver), the UK Freedom of Information blog Spyblog ("watching them, watching us") and Mr Chalk. As Charlie Beckett of the Polis media unit at the London School of Economics has observed, well-informed blogging such as this forms a new part of the ecosystem of sources available to under-resourced journalists on deadline. This is not the future of media, but the present. The future has its own challenges. Laws and their associated procedures that moderate freedom of expression - libel, intellectual property and, to a lesser extent, decency and hate-speech laws - are too punitive for individuals who lack the ready access to legal expertise of a newspaper or broadcaster. Worse still, online, compliance with these laws is maintained by disinterested internet service providers, and not editors and publishers. Professional and citizen journalist alike, we need to stop debating what is already happening, and concentrate on the challenges ahead. Becky Hogge is a writer and technologist.

The United States seems to be making progress in the fight against HIV/AIDS. According to a new study, HIV diagnosis rates have significantly declined in recent years.
The study, released on Saturday by the Journal of American Medical Association shows the decline in diagnosis over a ten year span. It is now the longest running study of its kind.
In 2002, 24 out of every 100,000 people were diagnosed with HIV. In 2012, the number went down to 16 out of 100,000. It is not clear if the numbers reveal that less people are becoming infected or if the same people were already counted for and have not seen changes in their status.
All in all, the numbers are looking much better. Decreases were seen in virtually all major groups (blacks, whites, men, women, etc.) except for gay and bisexual men – where the rates were increasing.

PARIS (Jul. 24)
The Strassburg Jewish community today denied reports published abroad that it had refused to permit the burial of a Polish-Jewish student, who had died in Strassburg, in the cemetery belonging to the community. The report also stated that in view of the refusal of the community to permit the student's burial, he had to be interred in a plot forty miles away from Strassburg.
In making its denial the Strassburg Jewish community gave the actual facts in the case. It appears that some time ago it became apparent that within a generation the cemetery of the Strassburg community would be completely filled if, as in the past, Jews were interred there without any restrictions. The community therefore decided to safeguard the rights of its members and to reserve the Strassburg cemetery for the local Jews exclusively.
This decision was reached about two years ago. However, in order to insure every co-religionist of a Jewish burial, the community purchased a plot of ground adjoining the cemetery of Gerstheim where all those who were not official members of the community would be buried without regard to their origin.
This was the case with the deceased Polish student, except that in his case the community went one step further and provided the expense of burial. The chief rabbi of Strassburg officiated at the funeral services and prayers were recited just as in the case of every burial in Strassburg itself.

Ornithologists and bird watchers rejoice. After a dozen years, The Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Macaulay Library has fully digitized its nearly 150,000 audio recordings (a total running time of 7,513 hours), representing close to 9,000 different species, such as the very unsettling-sounding Barred Owl (above). While the collection also includes the sounds of whales, elephants, frogs, primates, and other animals, the primary emphasis here is on birds (it is a Lab of Ornithology, after all), and there is an incredible range of calls. Cornell recommends some of the highlights below:
Earliest recording: Cornell Lab founder Arthur Allen was a pioneer in sound recording. On a spring day in 1929 he recorded this Song Sparrow sounding much as they do today
Youngest bird: This clip from 1966 records the sounds of an Ostrich chick while it is still inside the egg – and the researchers as they watch
Liveliest wake-up call: A dawn chorus in tropical Queensland, Australia is bursting at the seams with warbles, squeals, whistles, booms and hoots
Best candidate to appear on a John Coltrane record: The indri, a lemur with a voice that is part moan, part jazz clarinet
Most spines tingled: The incomparable voice of a Common Loon on an Adirondacks lake in 1992
Most erratic construction project: the staccato hammering sounds of a walrus under water
Most likely to be mistaken for aliens arriving: Birds-of-paradise make some amazing sounds – here's the UFO-sound of a Curl-crested Manucode in…

Emergency treatments for breathing problems have risen sharply due to the significant air pollution resulting from bushfire smoke.
NSW Health data shows the number of people treated for asthma in hospital more than doubled last Monday, when air quality was at its worst.
Those with lung conditions are not able to breathe easily yet, with Sydney blanketed in smoke again on Sunday. The haze, which covered much of greater Sydney and the Illawarra, was due to backburning, the NSW Rural Fire Service said. Spokesman Alex Chesser said backburning was taking place in large tracts of bushland in greater Sydney, the Illawarra and the central coast.
Mr Chesser said backburning would continue for several days.
"What impact it will have will depend on the weather, as the wind can push smoke into different directions," he said.
Meanwhile, home owners in high-risk bushfire areas face higher insurance premiums if they are prevented from establishing buffer zones from the bush, an MP has warned.
Roza Sage, the state MP for Blue Mountains, called for a review of legislation and council regulations to make it easier for residents to create buffer zones and clear vegetation around their properties.
Extensive fires led to the loss of two lives and 209 homes, mainly in the Blue Mountains.
"Make no mistake, the people of this area are determined to rebuild in the Blue Mountains," Ms Sage said. "We need to ensure those families that are rebuilding are given every chance to resume their lives in the streets where they have chosen to raise their children. One of the potential barriers is the ability of residents to mitigate against future bushfire risks and rising insurance premiums."
New data from NSW Health shows that more than 1000 people sought emergency treatment for breathing problems when the bushfires were at their height, including 228 people who attended hospital and 799 who were treated by NSW Ambulance staff.
Professor Wayne Smith, director of the environmental health branch at NSW Health, said the number of people with breathing difficulties peaked last Monday when there was a 124 per cent increase in patients with asthma conditions seeking hospital treatment.
On the same day, the number of people requiring assistance from ambulance staff rose by 38 per cent.
Professor Smith said people with breathing problems should be extra cautious when smoke is in the air.
"Smoke particles can cause a variety of health problems, such as itchy or burning eyes, throat irritation or runny nose and aggravate existing illnesses including bronchitis, emphysema and asthma."

Tank has a crush – on a car
Video and photo by Boaz Joseph
A Czech-built T-55A tank crushed four cars in the parking lot of the Cloverdale Legion on June 21 during the Surrey Doors Open event.
The demonstration was organized by local cadet groups and military equipment collectors.
The tank, owned by North Vancouver's Mark Fleming, is housed at the Chilliwack Museum, and was seen in the recently released Godzilla movie.

"What I do: my. mind. goes. some. where. else." A valuable piece of advice, delivered in stunning self-important staccato, by Tyra herself that could be applicable in any number of ways to any number of the contestants on this cycle/season's ANTM. Tyra was talking to McKay (nee Brittany) about letting her mind wander in order to hold a pose for longer. But it could also be a great tip for someone like Sheena: "Whenever you feel yourself starting to slip into hoochie territory, let your. mind. go. some. where. prude." Or it could appply to Nikeysha, with her ongoing and fatal habit of interrupting Tyra: "When you have to keep quiet and listen to the slow, low stretching sound of Tyra's ego inflating with air, just keep your mouth shut, and let your mind. go. some. where. else." And it could apply to Hannah Alaskah's latent prejudices: "When you have to just hold all of your stupid thoughts inside, just breathe and let. your. mind. go. some. where. else."
Of course, the second Hannah Alaskah stops thinking stupid, vaguely bigoted thoughts, she starts thinking in gross exaggerations. "It's like gang rape. It's like gang violence," is the way she very earnestly described being brought before the "ethnic" girls tribunal to answer for her alleged crimes. Yes, Hannah Alaskah. Being asked, "Are you prejudiced?" by Joslyn (whose accent is so syrupy Southern it sounds like she's speaking through a mouthful of honey) is exactly like gang rape. Jesus. It's only episode three and we've already had the first physical altercation (well, Hannah pushing "the transgender" away from her in the jacuzzi), and the first racist accusation, followed by the first gross exaggeration.
Bankable Productions should just follow in Survivor's footsteps and turn this cycle/season into ANTM: Race War. They could split the girls into opposing camps to compete as teams against each other: Team Ethnic (Brittany, Sheena, Joslyn, Nikeysha) vs. Team "As A White Person.." (Hannah Alaskah) vs. Team Too-Much-Makeup (Clark, McKey) vs. Team Invisible (Lauren Brie, Analeigh) vs. Team Transgenders n' Comic Relief (Isis, Samantha, Marjorie). Elina can just sit on the sidelines and then swoop into every challenge and win by not acting like a complete jackass.
Speaking of complete jackasses, "posing coach" Benny Ninja was in this episode, resplendent in his neon Kermit ensemble and eager to teach the contestants valuable modeling skills, like how to pose inside giant, red tubes made out of pantyhose. Later on, he was joined by Trina Tarantino, an acessories designer who is so good at her trade that her candy pink hair resembled one of those hot pink, plastic wig-in-a-bags available for sale at Claire's Boutique. Her "sparkling jewelry" shed glitter, and her necklaces were over-sized Mardi Gras beads, but the thing she wanted the girls to model were her handbags. And model them they did. Hannah Alaskah put hers in the chandelier. (Don't blame her: she's from a small town. She's never seen lighting fixtures before!) The rest of the girls seemed to suspend the purses from their toes, or contort uncomfortably around them, except for Sheena who memorably followed her "feng shui" directly to her crotch. When Elina simply placed the bag on her shoulder, she automatically won.
At the photo shoot, Mr. Jay yelled at the girls from the top of a hot air balloon /visual representation of Tyra's massive inflatable ego that they had to pose on a rope ladder suspended from said balloon/Tyra ego representation. But instead they ended up hanging off of a rope ladder hanging off of a crane. Most of the girls seemed to hang pretty well, except Sheena (whose hoochieness and giant inflatable breasts got in the way), Isis (who the judges said had problems with her face, but really they just had problems with the schoolboy shorts she wore to judging), and Nikeysha (who, the judges seemed shocked to suddenly discover, has limbs about the width of a rope ladder rung).
Sheena fessed up to her fake breasts, so she got to stay, and Isis is the show's gimmick, so Tyra wouldn't drop her so easily. Instead Tyra got rid of Nikeysha, the only contestant brave/stupid enough to talk over, and possibly take attention away from herself–an ANTM crime that is always punishible by death.
Grade: B+
Stray Observations:
--Did anyone else notice the very strong resemblance between Nikeysha and Isis? Now that Tyra's broken up that set of dopplegangers, she should cut Hannah Alaskah, and let Analeigh stand on her own.
--OMG! Clark kissed a girl! She's just like Katy Perry but in layers of beige foundation!
--So how long do you think it took the production staff to get Mr. Jay out of that balloon following his speech? 45 minutes? An hour? As long as it takes for photographer Mike Ruiz to find a neon t-shirt that shows the optimal amount of pecs cleavage?
--"No nudity." That was Sheena's first and only Truth or Dare rule. Spoken like a true hoochie.
--"That's why you're going home. Cause you said you're going to go be an anesthesiologist." Oh, Tyra. Nikeysha doesn't know what an anesthesiologist is any more than she knows the unbreakable Tyra reverence rule of ANTM.
--"I looked and there was a freakin' balloon!" Samantha is definitely my favorite.

Oklahoma motorists are guilty until proven innocent. Police in Tulsa set up a checkpoint to catch motorists who were driving without insurance, or even simply driving without proof of insurance. Those caught driving without insurance had their cars towed, while those without proof of insurance got fined a whopping $250 for not having their papers in order. Unfortunately, scams like these are popping up everywhere these days as police are desperate for cash and local governments are reluctant to raise taxes with the economy in the trash (incidentally, the economy is in the trash because of the very same government).
Via Newson6.com:
Oklahoma is cracking down on uninsured drivers by testing a new method in Tulsa.
The Tulsa County Sheriff's Office set up an insurance checkpoint in west Tulsa overnight Saturday.
Deputies were there until 3 a.m. making sure drivers had proof of insurance.
Violators received $250 ticket, and those with zero insurance had their cars towed.

The decision UNC would like over
Posted November 8, 2012
The University of North Carolina and the University of Miami have something in common that goes beyond the fact that each school employed Butch Davis as head football coach. Each school is also dealing with NCAA issues stemming from, among other things, outside influences that have created complicated decisions within the athletic department.
Miami is one win away from being bowl-eligible, and thus a very important decision. Amid an NCAA investigation into impermissible benefits provided to football players for almost a decade by former Hurricanes athletics booster Nevin Shapiro -- now serving a 20-year jail sentence for his involvement in a Ponzi scheme -- the school opted to declare itself ineligible for the post season a year ago and could do the same as early as this Sunday should the Canes win their game at Virginia on Saturday.
The school is awaiting the notice of allegations from the NCAA which would outline the scope and depth of the violations incurred under previous coaching regimes, and once they have that in hand, will go through the process of either defending itself or working with the NCAA to address the mistakes and deal with the consequences.
Does any of this sound familiar?
Predicting what the NCAA is likely to do in terms of punishment is tantamount to predicting the weather. The governing body of college sports hasn't operated with any great degree of consistency in these matters, so guessing becomes difficult. There's really no way of knowing for certain that skipping a bowl game last year and again this season would cause the NCAA to forgo a post season ban in the penalty phase. It seems logical to assume, but it's not a guarantee.
Plus, should Miami withdraw from post-season consideration again, they would also be removing themselves from participating in the ACC Championship game in Charlotte the first Saturday in December. By rule, if you play in that game you must play in a bowl game. Therefore, the school must weigh the benefit of playing in a bowl game this year -- if applicable -- versus the pain and suffering it might cause to possibly hamper future seasons and the decisions of potential recruits.
Simply put, is playing in a bowl game this year more beneficial to the long-term health of Miami football than having that same opportunity next year and beyond? Archive: UNC investigation
Last year, UNC was faced with the same predicament that still confronts the deciders in Coral Gables. Play out the season, accept a bowl invitation and hope that the NCAA stops short of taking away any future post-season opportunities. Or, withdraw from that consideration and guess that the self-sacrifice would be considered by the NCAA as time already served.
Publicly, the school spoke with confidence that their cooperation with the investigation would lead to leniency. On several occasions university officials said that they didn't expect anything beyond what the school offered up as self-imposed sanctions. North Carolina guessed that scholarship reductions and the forfeiture of two seasons worth of victories would be enough to satiate the Committee on Infractions.
They guessed wrong. And, they're paying the price right now.
It's really amazing, and possibly a good thing, that this has gotten so little attention. But, with three games remaining, the Tar Heels are the most likely team to finish atop the Coastal Division standings without the chance to play for the ACC championship.
Imagine this season, with the possibility of post-season play. Imagine the impact it might have had on recruiting if the Heels had emerged from the rubble of last year's struggles, by landing in the conference championship game and a major post season bowl. Imagine if it worked out even further and the Heels won the game!
Of course, these are all hypotheticals, but the choice of finishing off last season, under a lame-duck, interim head coach in a low-grade bowl in Shreveport, La., pales in comparison to almost anything else the future might hold. Again, there's no guarantee that skipping out on last year's Independence Bowl would have convinced the NCAA to waive any future post season penalties, but, it had to be worth the risk. And, barring a chance to play in the conference championship game in a little more than three weeks, I think you'll see The U run the same play they ran last season.
It's what North Carolina should have done a year ago.

Look At Jennifer Lopez's Giant Ass On A Boat While I Shovel 80 Feet of Snow
Here's Jennifer Lopez still filming her FIFA World Cup video on a yacht in Miami yesterday which is fitting because by the time you're seeing this, I'll be shoveling my way through a giant white behemoth pile as well. Only literally because nature is a cold teat. On that note, if there's not another post after an hour, I had a heart attack or banged a Yeti. Avenge me.

Morning Ladies~
Working 6-1 again today, then it's the weekend, yay!!! Monday I'll start working pretty much full-time again, which will last 6 weeks. I'm covering for a coworker who is having foot surgery to remove a heel spur and fix his plantar fascitis.
RR: shorter run today, probably just 4 miles. only have 30 minutes for lunch..blah. Ran a super hilly 7.2 miler yesterday, kept the pace easy. I feel a bit like i've been run over a truck this morning- sore throat, congested, tired. Hoping the coffee kicks in soon and i'm not getting sick.
TR: Cute as ever. Was walking around pulling a little wooden puppy toy behind him last night- so sweet! Running everywhere, non stop.
NRR: glad it's the weekend- no plans, just relaxing with DH and R! Oh- my friend's DH made it through brain surgery on Weds, and the drs were able to remove 90% of the tumors!!!! He has to go thu chemo/radiation for the rest, but is doing well.
Gotta go- have a great day everyone!
5K: 19:15 Half: 1:29:35 Marathon: 3:13:08
beskirted & manicured
ER - ST at the gym. Hopefully a client no shows so I don't have to wait until after my shift to work out.
RR - making up my spring HM/30K/marathon schedule. It starts in 10 days, ahhhhhhhhhhh! I LOVE the calendar option on RA!
TR - broke his favourite digger. I HATE when he breaks cheap plastic crap because I can't fix it.
FR - fried veggie brown rice, teriyaki salmon.
NRR - I am going to ROAST MY ASS in my car!!! weeee!!!
rg - I definitely am feeling the same way, I know it's from B smearing his snot all over me.
5K - 24:10 | 8K - 40:41 | 10K - 51:40.6 | HM - 1:51:10 | 30K - 2:44:54 | Marathon - 3:59:26
RR - 6k easy + ST
BR - Last night she pulled herself up and let go so she was standing on her own for a bit! Then she tried to take a step and face planted...ha, at times like this, I'm glad we haven't got around to tearing up the carpet and putting in hardwood. She's getting the second dose of her flu shot today. The first one didn't bother her at all, so hopefully this one doesn't either.
FR - Going to bake some bread and blueberry muffins this afternoon. Will probably have soup for dinner with the bread.
NRR - Today my tiredness is my own fault. S slept pretty well but I stayed up way too late reading. I finally got around to starting the second book of the Hunger Games. I read the whole first book in tub while I was in early labour with S last February and then, you know, things got a bit busy so I kept forgetting to borrow the next two books from my friend and read them.
RG - That's such good news about your friend's DH!! Do you have to put R in child care when you work full-time the next 6 weeks or do you get home before your DH goes to work?
Zorbs - Mmm, I love teriyaki salmon. I'm so jealous of your heated seats! That is going to be a must have in my next car.
5k - 20:46 10k - 41:27 10 mile - 1:15:32 Half marathon - 1:39:15
RR: SRD. First rest day in 9 days of running. I am going to go crazy. I love running and love the way it fits into my day plus it means I drink plenty of water and have a guaranteed shower. Need to do this whether I run or not.
NRR: playgroup this morning, then to the ear specialist at 11 about the week of vertigo.
BR: Is so obsessed with dogs. Like when he sees them he crouches and points and makes such excited little squeaky noises. Makes me really want to get a dog when we get to the US. I can't decide if I want a dog that can run or a dog that is a clumsily lovable fluffball.
FR: Gardener's Shepherd's Pie turned out awesome. I have started taking pics of meals which I will get around to posting on fb.Leftovers tonight. Everyone loved it. I put celery and kale into it as well as all the other veggies and I liked my additions.
zorbs - can you walk today after your workout?
Jen - the pea ravioli doesn't stick if you use a shallow bowl to present it and just have a few of ravioli in the pot cooking at once. It took me a bit to figure it out.
CA - your plan looks AWESOME. Love the length, the detail and the variety. Great job.
Happy Friday!
RR - usual rest day...
BR - my chubby baby isn't as chubby as I thought... she's 18lbs 4oz, at just over 9 months... still in the 50th percentile which is where she's been since birth... started clapping her hands yesterday, although I don't think she realizes it's actual clapping.
NRR - so the DH's new "smart" tv isn't that smart yet.. we can't connect it to the wifi in our house... we called their support line and they said it must be our internet connection... ok, but our phones, laptop and iPad are all connected to the internet just fine, so no, i don't think it's the connection!!! Now we have to wait for a more experienced technician to call us and help...
FR - I accidentally bought plain greek yogurt and it's just way too tart... I tried adding fruit and it's still too strong... I hate wasting food but DH doesn't eat yogurt, and I don't usually cook with it so this may have to be tossed...
rg - that's great to hear your friend made it through surgery! I hope he gets a good prognosis..
zorbs - seat warmers are so great... never had one until our last car, and we have them in our new one... ppl always ask me if it feels like i peed myself when I tell them i always turn on the heated seats option...
ernie - for whatever reason it never occured to me get C a flu shot... i used to get one every year but i totally spaced this year...
bermy - i think a running dog would be awesome! I know some runners who have dogs that go on 20 mile runs with them... that'd be good company!
RR: 5 after work today. My legs feel really tight so I might foam roll tonight for some relief.
TR: Didn't cry again today when I left....maybe this is progress?! Was starting to fuss at 5:40 though. Its much worse to listen to when I don't have to get up!
NRR: I am so tired! Only working 3 days this week is probably a good thing as I am SO ready to crash on the couch tonight with nothing that needs to be done for the next day.
FR: Pancakes for dinner last night. Thinking eggplant parm for dinner tonight.
Upcoming Races:
Gazelle Girl 1/2 Marathon 4/13 - 1:48:46
runnergirl - I hope you aren't getting sick! Have a good run today. Relieved that things went well for your friend.
zorbs - You are too funny about the ass warmer in your car! I hope you are liking it!
ernie - The hunger games books are really good...I enjoyed them all. I saw the movie in the theater with my nephew which was a lot of fun.
bermy - Keep us posted about the appointment. I am curious to hear what the doctor has to say. 9 days straight of running...wow! You are right up there with runnergirl!
cx2 - Sucks that the TV isn't working properly (or the extra part of it). I hope you have a good day! Any progress on daycares?
rr: 4 yesterday. going to get out and calibrate my nike+ at some point today.
qotd: where do you ladies buy your jeans? i am in desperate need of a pair that fit nicely. Right now the only pair that fit me are guess premium daredevil skinny jeans which i love but they are more like jeggings and not so much everyday kind of jeans.
nrr: dh is going to the packer/vikings playoff game tomorrow. so our friends are staying over with their kiddos. should be fun.
tr: my mom is coming over today to take the girls to the store to buy their snowmen hats and scarves and mittens. very cute.
br: starting to mimic things i say. yesterday he wanted something on so i said, "on." he looked at me and repeated it and later came and said "off."
fr: in love with crunchy peanut butter on celery
rg: yay for your friend's dh. Have they given him a prognosis?
zorbs: how's the car?!
Ernie: i loved the first 2 hunger games books but hated the third. Loved the movie too.
Bermy: oh please don't get a little fluffy dog! we have a black lab and he is great with the kids. As in they crawl all over him and he doesn't care. Plus he is a great protector and a great running partner!
cx2: You got me thinking that we need to start using the smart features of our tv. Think we are going to start getting netflix.
runninmer: i had a dream you told me my posts weren't interesting enough and i needed to try harder...Hmmmm.....
RR - had to deliver some money to a girl on my tennis team so took the dog for a run/walk this morning to her house, so got in 2.75 miles.
BR - so snotty. Poor guy. He's awake and talking in his crib right now. I had planned on showering before I got him up so I hope he doesn't mind staying in there a little while longer!
KR - DD1 spent the night at a friend's which means DD3 crawled in bed with us overnight. I wonder if she'll ever stop being scared to sleep by herself.
FR - DH insisted we have the turkey meatballs and spaghetti tonight so last night we had leftover pork tenderloin on sandwiches. I made up the meatballs so they will be an easy dinner tonight.
NRR - finally got the kitchen cleaned up and the floors mopped and it feels so good! Now I need to tackle the living room, ugh. Still haven't put away all the Christmas presents.
rg - great news about your friend!! Whenever L gets sick I get sick. I think it's from all the open mouthed kisses he likes to give me, which I can't really complain about!
zorbs - I love planning race calendars/schedules! I wish I could find a good spring/summer race but when it starts to get hot out I probably won't feel like training for something anyway.
ernie - I haven't read the Hunger Games, although I have the first one. It's hard to find time to read lately, I get so tired when I try!
bermy - I don't remember you having rest days very often! You are so hardcore. I am always thinking of getting another dog I can run with. Mine used to run with me but she's too old now and I really miss it, especially when I run in the dark. It makes me feel safe even though she wouldn't hurt a fly.
cx2 - that's great she's staying on her growth curve! I buy plain greek yogurt and sometimes add raisins with my fruit to sweeten it up. Or use it in place of mayo to make chicken salad.
mer - hope the not crying is a trend! I wish our kids went back this week, it would have been nice to ease back into school. It's always so hard to get used to waking up early again.
mrszm - I'm not really looking forward to the game tomorrow. Either I'll be bummed out and DH will be jumping around like an idiot or he'll be super crabby and I won't be allowed to say anything. I got sick of the way cheaper jeans fit me - they usually stretched out too much and I felt like i was constantly hiking them up or they were a little too short. So I started splurging on nicer jeans. My favorite pair of every day jeans are a pair of Joe's I got at an outlet mall last year.
mer - hope you get to chill out tonight... i always want to just crash on the couch but then I start thinking of all the things I have to or should be doing.... daycare is still up in the air.. .we thought about putting C into Montessori but most places don't take babies, they gotta be at least 18 months old...
mrsz - i haven't bought new jeans in a long time, but i used to buy them at Aeropostale, and only if they were cheap, like $20... i'm built like a kid still so youth clothes fit me better than actual women's sizes..
arm - ha, C is talking in her crib right now too, she's not quite ready to nap... i try to shower when she naps on the days I don't take her running..
rg - Take it easy today...start popping some Vitamin C or something. So happy for your friends DH...that is so scary being so young and with a baby at home.
zorbs - What races are you running? I really need motivation to train for another marathon. Nice car...I take it you like it??
ernie - I hope the flu shot goes well for S. Glad she slept much better for you. Sometimes it is nice to be able to stay and up and do something just for you...even if that means not sleeping.
Bermy - Today was my 9th day of running in a row...guess tomorrow is my rest day!! Glad your shepards pie turned out well. Too cute about DS and the dogs. I was watching the news this morning and they did the weather in Bermuda...random...but it said it was in the 80s...I am jealous!!!!
CTimes - I despise plain greek yogurt...I do have a few recipes that call for it though. C is a good sized baby. Cute about clapping her hands. J didn't do that until he was over a year old.
Mer - Can I come to your house for dinner? Yum!! Enjoy your Friday and get some rest this weekend. Wish we could make a whole foods run and do some shopping!! Rest those legs.
arm - Way to get an errand and a run done at the same time! Poor L...sorry he is so snotty. J is just now getting over his snotty-ness...after a week. We had pasta and turkey meatballs last night! Enjoy.
RR - 5 on the TM this morning and some weight training...woot! Haven't ST'd in a LONG time until this week...I have already done it twice.
TR - It's PJ day at daycare so he was happy as a clam running around in his fleece footie pjs!! LOL. He has been really MEAN lately. He throws things (toys, food, etc) hard across the room and then starts growling and getting red in the face. We give him little spankings but I don't think that is good since I think he then sees it ok to hit...but It worked for DH and I growing up so I don't know. I think he is too young to understand time outs. How do you discipline an almost 15 month old? He needs anger management for babies!
NRR - Last day off then back to work Monday. Sad that break is over. I need to finish cleaning my house and run some errands. I also have a chiro appt shortly.
FR - Did pasta and turkey meatballs last night and we have ton of leftovers...so left overs tonight and then chicken noodle casserole tomorrow.
mrszm - I missed you. Too cute about buying clothes for the snowman! I hate buying clothes but I just got a pair of jeans at the DKNY outlet that I like. I never buy jeans from the same place because I don't like any of them. I have a few from ON only because they were cheap. I have a pair of Gap ones but they are now too small. I have a pair from Banana but they are too long. Ugh...Good luck...jeans are tough.
Good morning!
RR: 4 mi on the schedule today. Was hoping to go outside for it but if DS takes a good morning nap it will be on the TM. We will probably go for a walk with the dog later if so.
BR: I can't get enough of him. His cuteness is almost too much to handle. He is such a happy little boy and it warms my heart. Sometimes his energy wears me out but he is just so much fun. He loves to play and giggles when you chase him. He is so interested in the world and it's fun (and exhausting to watch). I think I sent DH like 10 videos of all the cute things he did yesterday. Now if only he would sleep, he'd be the perfect child. Up again every 2 hours last night. I think the poor guy has molars and an incisor coming in. I would love to start waking up early for runs but not when I am getting newborn baby sleep again.
NRR: Nothing too exciting planned for the day. Depending on the temp, we may go to the playground.
zorbs - I love the calendar on RA too! It even send you a reminder email about your training run and then asks later if you did it. Plus when you log your mileage you can select the workout from your plan.
RG - Oh no! I hope you can avoid getting sick. +1 to the vitamin C! Glad to hear the news about your friend.
ernie - Yay for steps. And I loved the Hunger games. I read one of them the week H was born while I was BFing him at night. I was so addicted I somehow did it through my sleep deprivation.
bermy - Enjoy your rest day! DS is also obsessed with dogs. It is his only regular word
mrszm - I like Calvin Klein jeans, I usually buy them at Macys. They have a high enough waist but not too high. Jealous DH is going to a playoff game! I would love to do that.
mer - Glad to hear no crying again! Sounds like progress to me.
arm - Hope DS stays alseep a little longer so you can shower!
jen - So cute about the pjs. And I have no clue about the discipline. DS still doesn't really understand the word no and I think we need to work on that.
5k - 21:32 FM - 3:27:40
Good morning
RR: going to go for 5 today at lunch. We are super slow here at work, so I am going to stretch the lunch "hour" a bit.
FR: Made a recipe called "Fake" Filet Mignon last night. Healthy, but not that great. Ground beef, brown rice, onions, garlic, steak sauce all rolled up in a ball and baked at 450 for 30 minutes. Looked like mini meatloafs. DH ate it all though, so must have been ok. Tonight, I am making a recipe from one of the girls who works for me:
http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/athenian_orzo.html. Looks delicious!
BR/ KR: D is saying so many words now! We were playing with one of Allie's puzzles where you had to spell words, and D recognized several of the letters. I couldn't believe it. D and A have this game that they play now where they chase each other around the house and hide in all the closets. They think it's hysterical.
NRR: Nothing crazy planned for the weekend. Just got a note that the trail I want to run tomorrow is covered with ice and they recommend putting sheet metal screws in our shoes. Not sure if I should brave it for my first trail run b/c I don't want to get injured. We'll see.
Bermy: I had pretty bad vertigo in early November and went to see my doctor about it. He said that it could have been either stress induced or a result of an inner ear infection which can't be detected by an otoscope supposedly. (I had just had an outer ear infection, so it was possible). Anyway, it ended up going away on it's own a few days after I saw the doctor. It was such a weird sensation though.
Ernie: I still haven't finished book 3 of Hunger Games. I also flew through book 1, but book 2 took a bit longer.
Marathonjen: D (21 months) has also been throwing things lately and smacking people (I blame it on daycare). You are right about them not understanding time outs at that age. Not sure that spankings would work either though. We just keep keep taking a toy away if she throws it and if she smacks someone, we take her hands, look her right in the eyes, and say, "be gentle; be nice". She seems to get it, but I do think that it is a phase at that age. My DH's method of discipline is to yell, "NO", which I don't think works at all.
Bad Ass Mother Runner
RG - at least you're fast and can fit 4 miles in 30 minutes!! I might be able to get close with full race effort but I'd be beet red and looking like I was going to throw up afterwards
zorbs - I love the calendar on rA also!
ernie - mmm soup and fresh bread is the best! I listen to most of my reading on my phone while I run these days... or read in the tub but I like to read running books and magazines in the tub.
bermie - most of the plan was just copied directly from the Run like a mother ladies new book. I'm also keeping the option of dropping the interval runs to easy runs if it is all too much too soon. I'd go with the big dog for sure, they are often more laid back when they aren't outside running.
cx2 - I love plain yogurt. Try putting some honey in it with the fruit.
mer - I've been rolling my glutes a lot, they are tight! mmm your FR sounds delish!!
mzm - my current fav jeans are 7 for all mankind I bought at a bloomingdales outlet.
arm - I cleaned our main floor yesterday also, it was so nice to start to get the junk away and cleaned up!
Jen - just be consistent. He'll get it, it's a toddlers nature to not care about anyone else but themselves. I feel your pain though, M got some good slaps last week and just didn't seem to get it but then the next day was better. It'll be easier when he's older and can understand reason and consiquences.
shel - your son sounds just adorable right now, I love that age!
Erin - When I ran at lunch my hour was often 1.5 hrs.... If they wanted a good contented hard working me, this was the price! My Boss ran the same marathon that I did when I trained for my first, I ran with him at lunch many a day, it was nice to not feel any guilt since my boss was with me.
me:RR - rest day, I think I'll do some ST'ing and rolling this afternoon. I've been rolling my glutes and it's helping a lot.
TR - I was in O's room feeding her at 1:30 or so last night adn M was awake, belting out songs in her room... funny kid!
BR - I feel like a broken record... more teething! She was up twice last night.
FR - made roast potatos, brocolli and a wine reduction sauce for our leftover lamb last night, it was super yummy. Not sure what for tonight.
NRR - I woke up hungry this morning- for the first time in 2 weeks, a good sign that I did not over eat yesterday!!

Comments about Gel Toe Separator:
Keeps the discomfort down, I even forget I'm wearing a gel separator, very comfortable. One separator lasts about 6 months, by that time the ring that goes over the toe is broken off. Fortunately there are 2 in a packet. Will be re-ordering once I finish this :-)
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Life Changing
By Flat Foot Chris
from Trumbull, CT
I have extremely severe bunions caused by flat feet and years of wearing pointed high heeled shoes. The issues were further compounded by middle-distance running, so much so that my large toe is crossed under the second toe. Recently, this caused problems because my second toes were pressing up against the top of my shoes making walking difficult and painful. These little babies have made a huge difference. I wear them constantly - only removing them for showers and bed. My feet feel 100% better. Highly recommended.

This is a really good product for bunion
By starshine21
from Phoenix AZ
Best Uses
This is a good product if you have bunions. It seems to alievate the pain and separates the toes and helps straighten them. The second batch I bought seemed to break easily but the third batch seems to be much better. Well worth giving them a try.

I am so glad I found this toe spreader
By Barb

This works on my right big toe. I have had surgery on 3 toes and my big toe was turning in and this item helps to keep my toe from curling. It doesn't hurt at all and is wonderful to use.

William B. Nellis
Longtime Stow resident
William B. Nellis, 84, died Nov. 28, 2012.
