/ February 13, 20074:12 PM PSTTech CultureFebruary 13, 20074:12 PM PSTby Harry FullerThere are several free events at the American Association for Advancement of Science conference in San Francisco this week. Here's a list of free events at AAAS.
Meanwhile, there's hot news out of snowbound Troy, N.Y. Renssalaer researchers say they've found a way to make instant drinking water. They convert salt water using nanotube membranes.
At Purdue, they're building quieter cows. Their goal is to breed noncompetitive animals. And if it works for livestock, let's move down the food chain to politicians and warlords.
How hot was it in 2006? NASA's data shows it was the fifth hottest year on record. Since 1880 the five hot ones in order: 2005, 1998, 2002, 2003, 2006. We may be needing that Renssalaer water.
At MIT, they still have hope for nuclear fusion. More than a Nobel Prize in physics is at stake here. There's hope this could be an energy source for the future.
And my favorite is a new flying mini-robot in France. This little gadget mirrors the behavior of flying insects. So if you aren't satisfied with nature's bugs and bees there may be a robotic bug in your future.

Legendary Tennis Bum: Getting Rich Without Winning - The Washington Post
Legendary Tennis Bum: Getting Rich Without Winning
By Barry Lorge By Barry Lorge June 20, 1978
Most of the modern generations of tennis fans has never heard of Bill Alverez, a legendary Colombian who in many ways epitomized the touring player of the professional era. Endowed with modest shotmaking ability but unlimited entrepreneurial skill and chutzpah, he was the true "tennis bum," wheeling and dealing his ways the court of Europe for fun and profit.
"William was the most amusing character I ever met in tennis," says Australian Barry Phillips-Moore, 41, a little left-hander who played the international circuit for more than two decades, combining tennis with a racket and gut importing-exporting business. He still has his own business but remains on tour as an employe of the Association of Tennis Professionals because he and his wife enjoy the globe-trotting life-style.
"Alvarez was a much better performer than Ilie Nastase. He has the worst game in history, but was the most feated player on the circuit because there was no way you could concentrate against him, and he got every ball back," remembers Phillips-Moore.
"He was about 20 pounds overweight. with bowed legs. In Spain they called hin 'Pato Donald', meaning Donald Duck, because he kind of waddled. But you could not hit him the ball past him. He ran everything down and never got tired. One year he beat Roy Emerson was the Whimbledon champion.
"He also has the worst temper you ever saw. He wouldn't have been allowed to plays nowadays. He would have been fined, banned, run out of the game. He wouldn't have lasted a year.
"He always swore in the language of the country he was playing in. There wasn't one foul word he didn't know and use. He'd hit himself in the head with his racket so hard you'd think he knock himself unconscious. He'd throw his racket on the ground, jump on it, hurl it over the back fence, but somehow he had the knack of never breaking one - and those were before the days of metals rackets.
"He always had the place in an uproar. There were probably 25 clubs in Europe that would never invite him back because he had offended them, and another 50 that wanted him back every year. Bill was never lacking for a tournament, but he wasn't particular about whom he offended. Even in the stuffiest clubs, he never changed.
He was the best businessman I've ever seen," Phillips-Moore continued. "He could sell anything. He would get extra rackets and clothes and sell them to spectators. He knew the import duties in every country, and when there was a market. Tournaments were close enough together in those days that would drive from one to another. Bill would load up a car with all the gear he could get his hands on, and off he'd go."
"Every year Alvarez played Wimbledon, even though he couldn't play a lick on grass courts," recalled Jim McManus, who played internationally for years and now works for ATP. Every years he made more money than the champion, trading in scalped tickets."
Where is Alvarez now?
"He stopped playing the circuit about seven years ago, and he's the head pro at a very nice club in Madrid. He owns a bunch of apartments and has lots of money in the bank - a Swiss bank, I suspect," says Phillips-Moore. "I reckon Bill made as much money out of tennis as anybody did before the game went professional in 1968. Not from playing, but from knowing all the angles."
In the days before open competition between pros and amateurs ushered in the commercial era in tennis, the life of a touring player was completely different from what it is today.
There was no price money in tournaments. Modest appearance fees for the top players were paid under the table. All players got free equipment from manufacturers, but only a handful of the best got cash payments.
There were only two tennis clothing companies to speak of - Fred Ferry and Lacoste, both owned by former great players. Perry was the English star of the 1930s, the last man to win Wimbledon three times in succession. Rene was one of the fabled French "Four Musketeers," who monopolized the Davis Cup from 1927 through 1932. Players got all the free shirts, shorts and sweaters they could wear, but none of the huge endorsement fees common today.
Players competed internationally at the whim of their national tennis associations, which has absolute authourity over them. The U.S. Lawn Tennis Association demonstrated its disciplinary muscle in 1950, for example by suspending a top 10 player - California Earl Cochell - from tournaments for life misbehavior and "extreme discourtesy to the referee" at the U.S. Championships at Forest Hill, N.Y.
Only a few players, such as Alvarez, were exempted. He presuma Federation , having obtained it in exchanged for a 1948 De Soto.
Australian players left home in early March and toured for seven bly owned the Colombian Tennis months, not returning until the start of the Australian grass court circuit in October. The Aussies comprised the foreign entry in most small European tournaments.
In a typical year, if you were going to play in Europe, you'd come across at Easter time," says Phillips-Moore.
"We usually started on the French Riviera: Nice, Menton, Monte Carlo. Then we'd small tournaments in Southern France, Germany or Spain.
"It was a much easier life if you were among the top 35 players in the world, and impossible if you weren't. Then your only recourse was to write good letters to tournament directors. It didn't matter so much how you played tennis as long as you made yourself sound qualified in the letters you write. Some fellows were master con men. They'd include practice wins or make up imaginary good results over players they knew wouldn't be there to dispute them.
"If your ranking was high enough that they knew who you were, you just wrote and said, I'd like to come to "your tournament. How much can you pay me?' They write back and say "We'll give you $300'." You either agreed or tried to make a better deal some place else.
"Hospitality and meals were always supplied. It was quite a simple existence. We played a lot in beautiful resort areas because the local tourist bureaus and hotel sponsored most of the tournaments and put the players up.
But it was a rotten system, because unless you were one of the very best player, French or Wimbledon or U.S. champion, you weren't supposed to win. All the draws were fixed except in the major tournaments. If you seeded, you'd play the local club secretary in the first round and the No. 3 junior in the second. They'd make you sure you didn't meet another good player until at least quarterfinals.
"If you were not a 'name' player and were about to beat one of the "ticket-sellers," the tournament director would literally run out on the court and tell you to lose. If you went ahead and beat him, you would'nt get an invitation back.
"I was ranked No. 5 In Australia, and I wasn't expected to beat an Emerson or a Manuel Santana. In the tournaments that I had my best results, I was not invited back.
"The great holiday area tournaments - Nice, Menton, Baden-Baden, Wiesbaden, Lugano, and so forth - have all disappeared now, because those places can't afford to put up $750,000 in prize money to get a pro tournament.
"Something has been lost, but it's much more pleasant playing now than it was then," concluded Phililps-Moore. "It's much better organized and it's honest. If you win, you get paid. If not you don't. The good players aren't protected any more, so you earn what you deserve."
Bob Carmichael, 38, is only No. 175 now in the computer rankings of the Association of Tennis Professionals, but he continues to bounce around the tournament circuit, a once and present tennis bum.
A delightful Australian, Carmichael is nicknamed "Nails" (pronounced "Niles" in the New South Wales inflection) because he used to be a carpenter (a "chippy," as they say Down Under). He is a marvelous raconteur who relates the wealth of anecdote he has accumulated in resonant baritone voice.
Carmichael first left Upper Fertree Gulley, 30 miles east of Melbourne, in 1962, at the age of 21. "I was going away for two years, to have a look at the world for a little bit, and then I was going back home to take up my job again," he says.
"I played tennis nine months a year - mostly little tournaments in Europe. I wasn't a true international in those days because I didn't go to the United States and couldn't afford to go home for the Australian circuit. My first three years, I worked the winters in London. One year I was a clothing salesman at Simpson of Picadilly, another year I was an 'internal messenger' there, and the third year I worked as a carpenter."
"I wasn't making much money, but the life was better than carpenter, so I decided to stay on. Then I got a little better, and started making more money than I could as a carpenter."
"In 1970, I had a big year. I was a quarterfinalist at Buenos Aires. I beat Ken Rosewall in the semifina's at Orange, N.J., and lost in the final to Rod Laver - a very good Laver too, my goodness.
"Suddenly, I was a professional tennis player. I had never planned it. The two mates I came away with had gone back home after two years, but here I am, still hacking around."
Carmichael misses the carefree life that characterized the tennis circuit of the 60s. "The tournaments were more relaxed then. Three or four nights of the week there were functions to go to. People had house parties that all the player went along to," he said.
"Gradually, since open tennis, the tour has become big business. The top 50 players in the world now are there because they practice all day, every day.
"I wonder sometimes if some of them enjoy their lives. I suppose they do enjoy winning tennis matches, and the money that comes as a reward. But I wouldn't mind betting there are a few guys who have been to Paris a half-dozen times amd have never seen the Louvre, or been up the Eiffel Tower. All they see is their hotel, the courts and an occasional English movie.
"The circuit isn't much fun anymore. We don't get together with the tournament organizers as we used to. They're businessmen too - they have sponsors to answer to and need to get people through the gate." Carmichael sighs. "We used to socialize with them, with the local people, have a nice meal and some wine, maybe practice for an hour in the morning and play a match at 2 in the afternoon. But I'm afraid those days are gone forever."
Arthur Ashe first played in Europe in 1963, but never toured the small tournaments on the continent because he was a student at UCLA.
"In those days, if you had a college scholarship, you finished four years," he said. "I came over a week or two before Wimbledon and played one week after. That was all the USLTA allowed. After that, you had to be back for the U.S. grass court circuit.
"The really good players, what they called 'special designated players' from each country, got 100 pounds at Wimbledon, or maybe a little more. Denny Ralston and Chuck McKinley got 100 pounds because they were on the U.S. Davis Cup team.
"The rest of us didn't fight it because we knew they were special," Ashe said. "We all hoped that we could get to be on the Davis Cup team some day, so that we'd get 100 pounds, too."
Nikki Pilic, 38, sat under the spreading chestnut tree near the entrance to the locker room at Stade Roland Garros one afternoon last week. "I first came to the French championships as a junior in 1957. It doesn't seem possible that it could be so many years ago," said the Yugoslav left-hander, runner-up to Ilie Nastase in Europe's premier clay court test in 1973.
"The big tournaments - the French, Wimbledon, Forest Hills, and Davis Cup - had too much pressure to be really enjoyable for the players, even then. But the little tournaments were relaxed, a little bit like family atmosphere," he said.
"If you lost, you didn't throw your racket on the ground. In the dressing room, you weren't thinking all the time about Grand Prix points, computer rankings, how much money you could get, whether you should play with a tin racket because some company would pay you a fortune to endorse it.
"Today the guys are a little bit like computers. There aren't so many great characters left, or great sportsmen like Emerson, who would try his hardest and then go and sing in the shower.
"There are still a few guys who break up the monotony in the locker room - Eddie Dibbs cracking jokes, Pat Cornejo accepting life as it is, Nastase being Nastase. They are a little loose, not uptight all the time.
"But tennis bums?" No, I don't think we have them anymore - not like in the old days."

Sunday, April 2nd 3:00 PM.
Four visiting priests will be here to hear confessions, along with Fr. Paul. Please make plans to come to this wonderful opportunity.
Rotarian, Tim Kinsler, introduced speaker, Pat Lewis, (right) at the Rotary luncheon March 28th. Pat gave an inspiring talk about his 40 years of coaching experiences. Pat grew up in Emporium, graduating from CCHS and then Clarion University with a degree in Elementary Education. Shortly after graduating from Clarion University, he received a job offer to teach 2nd grade at Woodland Elementary, along with the stipulation that he coach a high school girls basketball team.
Up to this time, no male teacher had ever taught a grade below 5th grade or coached girls basketball. After many ups and downs, he wound up with a winning JV team. After Mr. Kinsler retired and resigned as the boy’s Junior High coach, Pat filled the position. The first year was disheartening with a 0-15 record, second year 1-17 and he thought of resigning, but stayed on. Pat thought back to 7th grade when he tried out for basketball and was cut, then in 8th grade made the team, but in 9th was cut again from the team and remembered Mr. Kinsler telling him “Pat, you just didn’t put in the time”. Pat said “when I got older, I understood and respected what Mr. Kinsler had said back then.” After that, Pat got the team motivated and they started winning 70% of their games. Pat’s philosophy as a coach has been “putting self above others” and emphasized how athletics are so important teaching youth following:
How to win with class and fail with dignity
Life is not fair and there will be tough times
Success requires sacrifice, preparation and hard work
To be a leader you need to also be a follower
Must discipline yourself as only you are responsible for yourself
Respect everyone and working together achieves more

Spreading the word for friend Taylor Frank and all those who have every been touched by anyone suffering from a brain aneurysm.
" The bunny hop idea popped into my head when all I wanted to do was tell the world what to look for when they or their family members are experiencing the symptoms of a brain aneurysm rupture. My family and I felt blindsided by my mom's experience and didn't ever want anyone to go through what we had.
When I was 17, I with the help of my amazing family and other families affected started the first ever Bunny Hop for Brain Aneurysm Awareness. Since then, we have raised over $75,000 for the The Brain Aneurysm Foundation and have had over 600 participants at our event. I am baffled by the outstanding support our community shows when they really care about a cause.
We may have not reached the whole world yet, but we are getting the word out. I hope that every year we touch more and more lives and that we can continue educate on brain aneurysms. Unfortunately, my mother isn't here to see what an honor Elk and surrounding areas have brought in her memory, but I hope that we will save even one person from this horrible ailment.
Please join me and some amazing people I've met along the way for our 7th Annual Bunny Hop!
Please consider supporting this cause! Save the date - APRIL 15TH @ Benzinger Park, Vine Road, St. Mary's, PA 15857
Registration begins at 9:00 am, 3.2 Mile Walk begins at 10:00 am, Youth Fun Run begins immediately following the walk

I love learning, reading and remembering the history of Cameron County. Here is a little early school trivia compiled from the Cameron County Genealogy Project. Personally I feel our school should offer a 9 week class on the History of Cameron County. Early School Trivia
Although records were not preserved locally education dates back before the incorporation of the county
There is a difference of opinion as to the location of the first. The following is credited from a history of Emporium traced to Chicago
First teacher in all probability was Miss Elisa Dodge who taught the three R’s in a new frame barn at the mouth of North Creek on 1817
She was followed by William Boyd who taught in a Log house that had been built for a dwelling in Lumber Township in 1818
A log House was constructed above Emporium in 1819 Students studied under John Chadwick who taught 1819 -1820
Miss Jedidah Freeman taught the summer term 1820 and Leonard Freeman a winter term in 1820
The first schools of Higher education were established in Sinnamahoning in 1864-65 by John Brooks.
The school was suspended in 1873.
In 1866 Mrs. J. B. Johnson opened a select school in Felt’ Block
In1888 it was reported that were 42 schools in the county with an enrollment of 1427 pupils. Average salary for teachers was Male $49.47 and Female $33.78 monthly
Emporium at that time employed six teachers and enrollment of 373 pupils. Average Salary was Male $85.71 and Female $35.00 per month
County had Four High Schools maintained by the borough of Emporium, Driftwood and Shippen Township
First class to graduate from Emporium High School was in 1889 under the principal of H.H. Weber
High School in Shippen was established in 1907 in charge of H.B.Hourihan.
No records on Driftwood High School that was closed in 1916 due to the shortage of students/
The Emporium Schools are indebted to W. H Howard for a three hundred volume library and a piano. Josiah Howard contributed valuable additions to the library. Other contributors were B.G. Erskine, Guy S. Felt and many others.
Sterling Run School built in 1930 now houses the Cameron County Little Museum.
According to some authorities the first school was built on the Mason farm in 1820 with Dennis Lynch as first teacher.
Consolidation began 1924 in Emporium and secondary students from Driftwood and Sinnamahoning traveled by train to Emporium. Pa railroad ran local trains to accommodate . This was continued until 1941 when World War II forced the Railroad to abandon this practice. The students wer the bussed to Emporium.

EMPORIUM — Owners of a Cameron County lumber operation heavily damaged by fire last week are going to rebuild, according to county officials.
Emporium Hardwoods, located on Route 120 just south of Emporium, saw damage estimated between $7 million to $10 million in the early morning fire on Saturday.
Cameron County Commissioners stated that the business, owned by Rossi Corp., headquartered in Middletown, Connecticut, will be rebuilt, and some of the displaced workers will be brought on to help with cleanup efforts.
Representatives of the company were on the scene Saturday and spoke to a number of employees who had gathered at the site to see what they could do to help. Schedules are being worked out to allow employees who are able to come in and assist and continue to collect a paycheck. Eligible workers will qualify for unemployment while the damaged side of the facility is rebuilt.
Commissioner Phil Jones said county officials immediately contacted state representatives and the Governor’s Action Team has been made available to help with issues that may arise.
Commissioner Lori Reed said she was moved by the efforts of community members who brought food and donated items for the dozens of emergency responders called in to battle the blaze.
“I just want to say ‘kudos’ to our volunteers,” she said. “It was unbelievable to see so many community members who stepped up and brought cookies or other items to the fire hall. The behind-the-scenes people made me very proud to live in Cameron County.”
Commissioners stated that several local businesses also made donations to ensure the volunteers had enough food and drink to get through the four-hour ordeal.
Fire crews have been recalled to the scene at least twice to deal with rekindling issues. On Tuesday, a pile of wood chips was reported to be smoldering, sending firefighters back to the scene. Several hotspots are still an issue and have to be closely monitored, officials said.
The fire broke out at around 4 a.m. Saturday. Only a few employees were at the location at the time. At least one was serving as a night watchman, and others were beginning to trickle in to begin shift work later in the morning.
Firefighters from the Emporium Volunteer Fire Department arrived on the scene and immediately made calls to bring in other companies for assistance. In all, 12 fire companies from multiple counties were called in to fight the fire or serve on standby during the fire.
Emporium Hardwoods is one of the county’s top employers, with more than 100 workers. The operation is split into two sides, one dealing with “green,” or unseasoned, wood, and the other handling kiln-dried wood. The fire destroyed most of the green side, but thanks to the efforts of first responders, the kiln side, stacks of wood and storage areas were not damaged.
Damages to the green side were extensive, with the main building that houses operations being described by witnesses as “little more than a shell.” A number of large, costly pieces of equipment housed within were destroyed, as well, though efforts were made to remove several forklifts and movable equipment before the building was engulfed by flames
State police are investigating the matter — a press release indicates that a state fire marshal, Trooper John Whitcomb, discovered the origin point of the fire but he believes no foul play was involved.
Preliminary reports indicate the fire was an accident

FROM PA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION:
Wykoff Bridge Job to Start Late this Month Two-week detour will be in effect, March 27 through April 10
Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) will begin a Cameron County bridge replacement project on Monday, March 27. The bridge spans a branch of Wykoff Run on Route 2001 (Wykoff Run Road)) in Gibson Township, about one mile northeast of the Quehanna Highway (Route 2006) intersection. Replacing the bridge will allow PennDOT to remove it from Cameron County’s structurally deficient list.
A two-week detour will be in place from March 27 through April 10. The detour is necessary to remove the existing box culvert and set the new structure. The 38-mile detour will direct drivers to use Route 2001, Route 2006 (Quehanna Highway), Route 555, and Route 120. The detour schedule has been accelerated to lessen impacts to area fishermen.
Once the detour is lifted, remaining work will take place under traffic. On average, 375 vehicles move through this area each day. PennDOT expects the project to be complete on April 21.
All work on this replacement project is weather and schedule dependent. Glenn O. Hawbaker, Inc. of State College is the contractor on this $500,000 project.
Drivers are reminded to move through work zones with caution, obey official detour signs and posted speed limits, and always buckle up.

April 1st, 2017 Largest downriver paddling event in Pennsylvania!
"Cameron County - Clean, Fresh, and Beautiful"
Each year the Cameron County Canoe and Kayak Classic committee selects a new theme.
This year, the theme is "Cameron County - Clean, Fresh, and Beautiful."
We are excited to share with you such a significant event in one of the most beautiful areas of Pennsylvania. The scenic and challenging course is a 12-mile stretch of the Driftwood Branch of the Sinnemahoning Creek which runs from the Emporium Country Club to the town of Driftwood. It is mostly flat with some class one white water and a few whirlpools. Water levels have a drastic effect on the difficulty of the course.
The 2017 race awards will be handmade paddle plaques which will be given to participants over a wide array of classes. The award ceremony and dinner is held at the Emporium Firehall.
For more information about the event and registration, visit CanoeClassic.org
A note from Director Randy Bailey
Hello everyone, Welcome to the 2017 edition Of Cameron County’s Canoe and Kayak Classic. I am a bit behind getting everything together. We were having some issues with our web blog. I need to thank Chris Luckenbill for helping me get it figured out and also many other issues over the past 15 or so years. Has it been that long ? At this point I do not have a whole lot of changes to report. If you have been with us in the past you know the Gig. I need to still confirm that all will be in place the same as last year.
We will not have available to us this year an alternate venue as the Lake at Sinn State Park is undergoing a dredging project. If we find ourselves in an extreme situation (No water to paddle downstream) I may just set up a small loop course at the start area. practice your buoy turns!!. And the other extreme, Flood stage we may opt to the following weekend. Lets be hopeful for a nice day and good water level.
I have paddled the course and for once I have no major issues to address in the river there are a few branches that I need to cut but for the most part the river is open. I will update on a regular basis now up to the event date with particulars. Please don’t hesitate to call if you have any questions. I look forward to seeing everyone back and new faces as well come April 1. Randy

I have been going back and forth to the Roswell Cancer Center since September 2011 and for every visit we have stayed at this hotel. The staff, front desk, and housekeeping were great. It seemed after awhile as though we were staying with friends. Since I was dealing with cancer, the fact that the room was spotless was such a bonus. The restaurant and room service are excellent and Kasey (the bartender) is just a delight. For anyone who is dealing with Roswell this is the place to stay. Between the great care at Roswell and the great care at Double Tree, a miserable situation was made much, much, better. Two other things worth mentioning, you can walk from the hotel to Roswell not having to go outside, and the hotel has a special rate for people dealing with Roswell. Thank You All So Much for your kindness and good thoughts!!! Nina and John Marino

Dear Guest; thank you for taking the time to post a review regarding your stay with us. I noticed you stayed with us back in December 2010. While the hotel itself is only 13 years old, our guestrooms were in need of a facelift! Within the past year, we've renovated a meeting room, laid new carpet in our restaurant, business center and just finished a major guestroom and corridor renovation last month! Should your travels bring you to Buffalo; I hope you will stay with us and experience one of our new rooms-I guarantee you will love it!
This place is awesome. I cannot remember the last time I enjoyed an overall experience so much at a hotel. The front desk staff are so helpful, especially the tall man who is so jovial and efficient. There were a couple of errors with the reservation and billing - they corrected them immediately. The van/shuttle was SO helpful in getting around downtown. We never had to wait long for transport even though the hotel was packed. The room was nice. The bathroom was spotless! Do you know how hard that is to find these days at a hotel? It's also walking distance, just a few shorts blocks to the famous buffalo wing spot. Also, they have a tiny bar....but the bartender made it a terrific place to watch my football game. He was so helpful ---even let me have the remote to adjust the volume as needed. He got into the game too and made it a fun evening. Terrific place. You won't be disappointed.

Weekly Meal Plan | my sister's pantry
Posted by Julia Jones in	Weekly Meal Plans and tagged with healthy meals, meal plan, meal planning, weekly meals	 November 3, 2014
Wild wacky weekend. For whatever reason the plans we made for our weekend required us to be outside for most of the day on Sunday. Sunday when it was chilly with a chance of bone chilling gale winds. Amazing the power that the wind has to make an otherwise reasonable weather day seem downright brutal. Mr. Little Sis lay on a blanket watching our little man’s last T-Ball game of the season – on the blanket to be lower than the wind. I shoved my hands in my pockets and stamped my feet up in the woods where my daughter was attending as a friend at “Bring a Friend” to Girl Scouts Outdoor Skills Day. I suspect the fact that it took me until bedtime yesterday to warm up has had some impact on this week’s meal plan, so if it looks like one made by someone who has a cold, forgive me. I don’t have a cold; I’m just making a seasonal adjustment. This week we’re looking forward to a shift to indoor sports (dance and basketball) and beginning to plan our holidays… yikes. In the meantime, I offer you my weekly culinary horizon.
Monday: Sweet Potato Patties with Black Beans and Greens
Tuesday: Cold Kickin’ Soup, sushi rice and cucumber salad
Wednesday: Zucheezy Noodles, sautéed green beans, broccoli
Thursday: Harira (North African Soup) with CousCous (from Moosewood Restaurant’s Low Fat Favorites), green salad
Friday: Homemade Pizza (we do this every week and watch a movie with our young people), cut veggies
Saturday: Babysitter (No, we are not eating the sitter, we will likely serve leftovers or some sure to please the kids food)
Sunday: Homemade Pasta, spinach red sauce, green salad
Adult Lunches: Greens Detox Soup (The Oh She Glows Cookbook, p. 139)
Lunchbox Treat: Buckwheat Krispie Treats
Now that I’ve created my own marching orders, I’d better get to the market. Hope the winds are gentle and the meals are delicious in your neck of the woods!
November 3, 2014 at 12:09 pm	 ∞
I have been slacking in my planning lately and you know what that means. Time wasted with repeat trips to the store and anxiety over what to cook when. Thanks for the inspiration to get back to the planning. Hope the wind has died down 😉
November 3, 2014 at 6:46 pm	 ∞
I do wish I’d get my act together and plan meals ahead. That makes life much easier.
November 3, 2014 at 9:49 pm	 ∞
If you promise to put it on your blog, you might find it easier. 😉 It’s the only thing that’s worked for me.

Today I wanted to tell you about some exciting new features in the Connected Red Button and how this is going to give viewers more access to live events on the BBC.
Connected Red Button is currently available in Virgin TiVo homes by pressing the red button on the remote when watching a BBC channel on television, much like the hugely popular traditional Red Button service.
The promotional panel on Connected Red Button
In preparation for the big events this summer we rolled out a new version of Connected Red Button earlier this month which includes a promotional panel to the left of the main screen containing prominent links to additional BBC coverage of live action, events and programmes.
This promotional panel gives you quick and easy access to the most relevant and popular content available on the BBC and within only a few clicks on your remote you can be watching major events like Wimbledon, viewing the court of your choice, on the best screen in the house.
This new feature brings together the much loved Red Button content to the connected world, enabling us to bring the best of the BBC online and TV together.
Why press red?
You will regularly hear presenters promoting traditional red button content on air but this is the first time Virgin TiVo viewers can ‘press red’ to enjoy this additional BBC content as well.
This content will often be related to the programme the viewer has just been enjoying such as Springwatch, where you can watch the live webcams on red button, or special events such as BBC at Glastonbury and live sports coverage.
Our target launch date for this new release was early June and with good reason. Our challenge was to ensure that our viewers had access to as much of the BBC’s coverage during this fantastic summer of live sporting and music events as possible.
This weekend we will be promoting the live tennis at Wimbledon, live stage action and highlights from BBC at Glastonbury and the Formula 1 British Grand Prix. Each of these events will be available to watch over this weekend via the promotions panel.
Bringing the best of BBC online and TV together
Since our launch in December 2012 we have continually tested our Connected Red Button service with our audience and gathered feedback. The results consistently told us that the ability to watch more live events and ‘press red’ for more programme related content was at the top of our audience’s wish list.
It was also important for us to gain some parity with the traditional red button enjoyed by viewers of Freeview, Freesat, Sky and Virgin Media. These viewers already have the additional content via the Red Button such as Radio 1’s Live Lounge, Final Score and Dragons’ Den extra footage and the Virgin TiVo audience was clearly asking for this too.
The timing of the new feature was also important as we have been working with the wider BBC Distribution team on additional Red Button streams over the summer. This will give our viewers of Connected Red Button on Virgin TiVo even more coverage of the major sports and music events, see Alix Pryde’s blog post for more information.
We worked closely with our colleagues across the BBC to ensure that we shared this vision between us and they have been instrumental in providing the content to support this feature. See more on the Red Button editorial content in Ian's post.
More from Connected Red Button
The future of Connected Red Button is an exciting one as we develop more features for current viewers and roll out to Smart TVs at the end of this year and more operator platforms in 2014.
We hope you enjoy this new feature and are looking forward to all the BBC coverage of the events coming up this summer. I will certainly be enjoying it all from the best seat in the house, my sofa!

I also collect all my decorations from around the house and stage them in the dining room before packing...I find it is easier to see everything and pack it properly...plus, it takes me a few days to collect everything and I can put my hands over my eyes as I pass the dining room.
Wow! Now that's a lot of Halloween decorations!!!!!!!!!! I love your bottles - definitely keep them up all year, they are too pretty to pack away!Thanks for becoming a follower and entering our giveaway.I'm off to follow you too!Leann
Hi Kim, Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment! My wall color is granite dust by valspar. It is a grayish blue and I love it! Good luck picking a color - I know it's tough!
I love your decor... don't get rid of it. I did when we moved, gave a bunch to my daughters and the DI. I have replaced it all.... I didn't plan to but I kept seeing cute things and knew I had room. I just posted my 200th post. Can't believe I've been posting that much. Love your stuff.

Motorways of Pakistan - InfopediaPk - All facts in one site
Motorways are either six-lanes or four-lanes with a universal minimum speed limit of 80 km/h and maximum speed limit of 100 km/h for heavy transport vehicles and 120 km/h for light transport vehicles. They have a central median and are fenced on the outside for safety and prevention of unauthorized access by pedestrians, animals and slow-moving vehicles. Entry to all motorways in Pakistan are restricted to fast moving vehicles only. Pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, animal-driven carriages and other slow moving vehicles are not permitted onto the motorways. The Pakistan National Highways & Motorways Police do, however, use heavy motorbikes for patrolling purposes.By August 2011, operational motorways in Pakistan had a combined length of 679.5 km with another 278 km under construction and at least 1,200 km further planned. Pakistan's motorways are part of Pakistan's National Trade Corridor Project, which aims to link Pakistan's three Arabian Sea ports, namely Karachi Port, Port Bin Qasim and Gwadar Port to the rest of the country and further north with Afghanistan, Central Asia and China.
History Nawaz Sharif
The construction of motorways in Pakistan was first envisaged by the government of former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif.Pakistan's first motorway, the 367 km 6-lane M-2, was inaugurated in November 1997 and was the first motorway to be built in South Asia. Since the completion of the M-2, two additional motorways have become operational. These are the 54 km 4-lane M-3 and the 154 km 6-lane M-1. Additional motorways are currently under-construction, these are the 233 km 4-lane M-4 and 4-lane M-8.
The M1 is a motorway in Punjab and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. It is 175 km long, with 67 km in Punjab and the remaining 108 km in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. It has become a vital link to Afghanistan and Central Asia and is expected to take much traffic off the highly used N5. It is part of Pakistan's Motorway Network.The M1 was conceived by deposed Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in his first term but was not inaugurated until 2004 by President Pervez Musharraf. On 30 October 2007, the remaining portion was inaugurated by President Musharraf and was opened to the public on 31 October 2007.The M1 begins northeast of Peshawar as it moves in an eastern direction, crossing over the Kabul River. From here it passes through Charsadda, Risalpur, Swabi and Rashakai before crossing the Indus River. It leaves Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province and enters into Punjab, in which it passes through Attock, Burhan and Hasan Abdal. It ends as the continuation of the M2. The whole stretch of the M1 consists of 6 lanes with a number of rest areas along the route.M1 has 9 interchanges at Fatehjang, Bhatar, Burhan, Rashaki, Swabi, Chachh (under construction), Charsadda, Northern Bypass and Ring road on N-5. There are 3 major bridges on Haro, Indus and Kabul rivers, 18 flyovers, 27 other bridges, 137 underpasses and 571 culverts. 10 services areas five on the each side of the motorway would be provided out of which, four mini service areas at 4km and 106km have been completed. Six main service areas at Haro bridge, Indus River and Kabul River will start functioning after some time as they are still under constructions.
The M-2 is a motorway in the Punjab province of Pakistan. It is 367 km long and connects Lahore with Islamabad. It passes through Kala Shah Kaku, Sheikhupura, Khanqah Dogran,Kot Sarwar, Pindi Bhattian, Salem, Lilla, Kot Momin, Kallar Kahar, Balksar, and Chakri before ending just outside the twin cities Rawalpindi and Islamabad. It then continues on to eventually become the M1 motorway linking the twin cities with Peshawar. The M-2 crosses the junction of the M3 to Faisalabad at Pindi Bhattian. It is part of Pakistan's Motorway Network. One of the most expensive motorways in Asia, it has the highest pillared-bridge in Asia (At the Khewra Salt Range). The most interesting fact is that it can be used by Pakistan Air Force to land or take off many Fighter Jets.The M-2 was conceived by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in his first term (1990–1993) and later inaugurated on November 26, 1997, during his second term. In late 2006, upgrades were made to the portion of the M-2 passing through the Salt Ranges due to increasing complaints of drivers. The upgrades included better marking of the road lines and increased size of road signs for easy visibility.The M-2 starts to the west of Lahore, at the Thokar Niaz Baig junction of N-5 (National Highway No. 5). Once it crosses the Ravi River, it diverges from the N-5 (Also known as GT or Grand Trunk Road) and heads west towards Sheikhupura. After passing the Sheikhupura Interchange Khanqah Dogran Interchange comes at a distance of 36 km from the Sheikhupura Interchange. After once at Pindi Bhattian, it crosses the M3 junction and turns north-west. It continues all the way to Kallar Kahar, where it enters the Salt Ranges. Once past the Salt Ranges, the M-2 turns north and ends just west of Rawalpindi at the junction between the Islamabad Link Road and the M1. The whole stretch of the M-2 consists of 6 lanes, and there are a number of rest areas along the route, with washroom and eating facilities.
The M4 is an under construction motorway in Punjab province, Pakistan. It will be a 233 km long, 4-lane with capacity to increase to 6-lanes access controlled motorway with 8 junctions (Interchanges) in the planning. It would connect the M3 to the M5 and the cities of Faisalabad and Multan. Its ground breaking ceremony was done on 19 August 2009 and is expected to take 3 years to complete. Upon completion it would connect southern Punjab to Pakistan's Motorway Network.Construction began on 19 August 2009 with the ground-breaking ceremony performed by Pakistan's Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gillani. Construction is expected to take three years to complete. The M4 will be constructed in four stages: (i) Faisalabad-Gojra (58 km), (ii) Gojra-Shorkot (61 km), (iii) Shorkot-Din Pur-Khanewal (65 km) and (iv) Khanewal-Multan (65 km), whereas two large bridges will be constructed on the River Ravi and Shadhnai Channel. Estimated cost is USD 601 million.The M4 will begin at the termination of the M3 at the Sargodha Road Interchange on the northern outskirts of Faisalabad. It will continue on a southwest course connecting the cities of Faisalabad, Jhang, Gojra, Toba Tek Singh, Shorkot, Talamba, Khanewal and Multan. Once at Khanewal, it will merge onto the N5 temporarily until the M5 is complete.
The M8 is an under-construction motorway in Balochistan and Sindh provinces of Pakistan. The M8 is being constructed by Pakistan's National Highway Authority. Construction of the M8 commenced on 15 October 2004. The M8 will have 4-lanes and a total length of 892 km. Initially, 2-lanes will be constructed after the completion of which another 2-lanes will be added, thus making a total of 4-lanes.The M8 will start from Ratodero in Sindh Province and enter Balochistan Province passing near the towns of Khuzdar, Awaran, Hoshab, Turbat before joining the Makran Coastal Highway just east of the port city of Gwadar. The M8 will cross the Dasht River and pass near the Mirani Dam in Balochistan Province.
The M9, also known as "Super Highway", is a 138 km long motorway connecting the cities of Hyderabad and Karachi in Sindh province of Pakistan. It is part of Pakistan's Motorway Network.The M9 begins north of Karachi at the end of Mohammad Ali Jinnah Road, near junction of Karachi Northern Bypass also known as M10. It is connected with the Karachi Northern Bypass with a trumpet interchange. Then it continues out of the city. From there it continues on a north-east track and forms a junction with the N5 via a link road. The motorway ends outside of Hyderabad, in the suburban town of Kotri with a cloverleaf interchange. From there it merges onto the N5.
The M10 is a motorway located in Sindh province, Pakistan, however it is mostly referred to as the Karachi Northern Bypass. It is 57 km long and consists of 4 lanes (2 lanes operational). The construction work on the Bypass started started in 2002 and was completed in 2007.The M10 begins north of Karachi at the end of Mohammad Ali Jinnah Road, near the junction of the M9 to which it is connected through a Trumpet interchange. It then continues north for a few kilometers before turning west, where it forms an interchange with the N25. After this interchange it eventually turns south back towards Karachi and merges onto the KPT Flyover at Karachi Port.

Books Are Your Best Friend | Charles & Cynthia McCaul Ministries Books Are Your Best Friend – Charles & Cynthia McCaul Ministries
April 13, 2014 Charles Edward McCaulbooks, reading success Leave a comment
Some people say, “A dog is a man’s best friend.” But Edwin Cole in his book, “Treasure” says that’s not correct, but books are a man’s best friend.
Books can become your greatest resource for success in life because they contain principles and patterns that others have discovered and pass on to you. We receive the result of their hard work and experiences in life. The habit of reading books helps create the power of concentration and creative thinking. It provides greater understanding, sharpness of mind and enjoyment of life.
To learn the most valuable principles and patterns of life read what others have discovered for you. The discovery of printing has been the most valuable discovery of mankind as it allowed people to read for themselves and disseminate information to the masses. The printing of books and literature has influenced the internet. It’s essential to learn to read and make a habit of reading in order to rise to new levels of success and become all that God wants us to become. If we don’t read we are limited and confined. The normal person stops reading after they finish their schooling, but the above-normal person continues reading and growing throughout their life.
A love for reading should be transmitted from one generation to another. Parents must create this habit and pass it on to their children. One of the best things a parent can do is to read to their children. In the year 1644 the State of Massachusetts (USA) made a law that fathers were responsible to read to their children. This is pretty strict, but the idea is a good one – fathers should read to their children. Do not leave it to others to educate your children. Reading creates a bond between the parent and child.
My friend, watching TV, videos and games is not the answer – reading is much better. The truth can set you free and books are a way of discovering the truth – starting with the Christian Bible and including other novels, historical and informative books. Books reveal truth to us, but truth is like soap – we must apply it to be useful. Act on what you learn.
One principle that you learn from a book can change your life – marriage, business or career. Make it a habit to read and pass this love for reading and habit on to the next generation.

Best Resort in the world - Review of The Ritz-Carlton, Langkawi, Langkawi, Malaysia - TripAdvisor
Best Resort in the world - The Ritz-Carlton, Langkawi
elmofan1175
My extended family and I stayed at this fabulous resort over the Chinese New Year break, and words can not express how wonderful the facilities, staff, amenities and services are at this hotel. The staff anticipated every one of needs, demands and things we didn't even think of. For example, on our last night we needed a buggy(golf carts) ride back to our room, but we also needed to stop by the front desk to discuss difficult checking out process for our early flight back to Singapore. To our surprise, it was Yan from concierge that came to pick us up and discuss our checkout for the next day on the ride back to our room, no need to go to the front desk, they came to us. Bravo!!!More
Room Tip: I think all of the rooms have views of the water

Dear elmofan1175,
We are delighted to see you enjoyed your time at The Ritz-Carlton, Langkawi and we thank you for your compliments to the team. We made sure to mention your kind words to Yan from the Front Office team especially.
Me and my wife have been traveling for many years. Searching out the best hotels. We often go to Shanghai, Hong kong, Thailand and Europe. We have stayed in all the best 5 star hotel branches.
But now, finally we have found the best hotel we ever stayed in. The staff (specially the people working at Horizon, we love you) To the person reading this, please say hello and thanks to them from room 103 ( staying from 25-30.03)
The food, the drinks, and the facilities are just perfect. No photo can describe this beautiful hotel!
By the way. This is my first review ever. I never felt the need to write before. I dont think I ever will write again as well. This hotel blow me away!

8 Thank Thomas K
Thank you for taking the time to write us a wonderful review,
We're absolutely thrilled to know that you've had a great stay and experienced warm and genuine hospitality from our Ladies and Gentlemen. Should you ever have Langkawi in your future travel itinerary again, it'll be our pleasure to welcome you back.
Great staff- helpful and always smiling. Jeff and Bella especially helpful and a pleasure to meet.
Stunning adult pool at The Horizon and the pool staff ensure you're topped up with ice water and delicious little smoothies/ tasty morsels during the day.
Breakfast- good choice and you can also order eggs benedict / florentine, very tasty but do try the roti canai with accompanying curries or fresh soup noodles. Sooo difficult not to over-eat!
Stayed in Rain-forest Junior Suite, great room, take care with positioning of blinds as floor to ceiling windows, but those windows mean great views of the forest and those cheeky monkeys....they know how to strike a pose for fab photos!
The hotel takes some large group bookings and whilst we aim for peace and quiet, large groups no matter what part of the world they are from, do alter somewhat the ambiance of the hotel. It was disappointing to see some guests throwing cigarette ends to the floor and almost barking orders to the staff, without a 'please or thank you'
As per the title, the staff make this hotel but our vacation time is precious and we're not sure we would risk another stay due to hotel stance on those larger group bookings. Its a personal opinion, may not be an issue for all.
Room Tip: Higher floor rooms / Rain-forest Junior Suites for sea and forest views.

Majestic RITZ PROPERTY
I have stayed at some great Ritz hotels - but this place really rocks it. Spent a stunning 8 days in early March. Let’s be clear here. The hotel is only circa 5 months old - but there were no teething problems in this stunning resort. Staff perfect - love the guys on the beach and at the adult only pool. 4 good restaurants serving Malay, Thai, Western and Chinese. Breakfasts - the best I have had at Ritz and they are usually very good. Beach stunning, sunsets stunning and free water sports, good gym (an absolute must for the regular traveler). Rooms sumptuous _ but next time I visit I will hit the beach bungalows for total privacy.
Really not much more to say. Other than I will be back for sure and you should get there ASAP.

A breathtaking photo of a butterfly drinking turtle tears is going viral - AOL News
A breathtaking photo of a butterfly drinking turtle tears is going viral
Aug 11th 2015 4:30PM
Yes, it's real. And it's heart melting.
A photo of a butterfly sipping on the tears of a turtle is the latest internet sensation.
This abnormally cute scene from the animal kingdom is not actually an act of affection, as much as we would like it to be so.
Butterflies need salt for their bodies, and an easy way to get it is to drink tears (which are salty) that come from turtles, a slow target.
The photo, captured in Ecuador by Amalavida.tv was also awarded the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year in 2014 and recently started circulating on social media.
Here it is, straight out of a children's story:
