Do It Yourself Wedding Receptions That Fit In Your Budget
Affordable, Elegant Wedding Receptions
Amazing wedding receptions don't have to cost a fortune.
Many families are on tight budgets these days, limiting the parents' ability to contribute financially. Much of the burden of wedding expenses lands on young couples who are just starting out in life and on limited budgets themselves.
Location, Location
When planning an affordable wedding reception , location is key. Depending on how many people are invited, you may need a sizable place to have the reception. Weather permitting, your wedding reception could be held in someone's back yard or at a local park.
My own wedding ceremony and reception were held at a local park in a specially reserved area (including gazebo) that cost only about $60 for the entire day. My mother and I recently hosted a wedding reception for my sister in our mobile home park's club house. A $150 deposit was required, but the deposit was returned after we cleaned up and left the club house the way we found it. We had full access to a fully equipped kitchen, sitting area, tables, chairs, and restrooms for an entire day. Everything we needed was right there and didn't cost us a dime.
Many developments and neighborhoods have community centers that, with the right decorations, are perfect for gala receptions. One bride covered ugly walls with rolls of plastic table cloth drapery that matched the wedding colors and made the hall look amazing!
Decorations that can be used after the reception is over more than pay for themselves.
For my sister's reception we created beautiful centerpieces for the tables by buying some glass Pyrex cereal bowls ($1 each at a local outlet mall) and placing green glass marbles from the craft store in the bottom of each.
We then filled the bowls half way with water and placed a white rose-shaped floating candle in each. These attractive centerpieces were very easy to assemble in just a minute or two and in addition to lending their candlelight to the room made a wonderful inexpensive gift for the bride and grooma complete set of matching cereal bowls!
Food also doesn't have to require too much effort or added expense. My own wedding reception was a pot luck luncheon . My mother provided the sandwich rolls, sliced meat and cheeses, and condiments, and close friends and family members were asked to bring side dishes and salads. My husband's aunt made the most beautiful multi-tiered wedding cake for us. Our expense was minimal and no one went away hungry!
Most dollar stores carry catering trays and the heating stands with sterno. Think about what was served at the weddings you attended and pick quick make ahead freezer foods . On the day of the reception, take the food out to thaw and bring it to the hall. Set up the sternos and heat up your home cooked selectio...

part 8:
This is definitely a very awesome action platformer game.
Winx Club video game playing
It's a fairly decent overhead-view 2d action adventure game, much like the 2D Legend of Zelda games, only in this game you can actually jump (Link can not jump in most of the Zelda games, and in the few he can he needs an item to do so). Also it has RPG like elements in that you can learn spells, collect experience points to upgrade attacks, etc. However unlike most RPGs it doesn't have a separate "battle screen" and "adventure screen" or limit your actions to your surroundings (like in Most RPGs you can't attack in areas that there are no enemies). So that's why it's very much like the 2d Zelda games and other so called "action adventure" or "action RPG" games (with "action" meaning that actions of all kinds can be performed in most or even all locations).
Wix Club: Quest for the Codex
The game is an awesome game with the best part being the sidescrolling shooting part (the other parts are just stupid minigames). Luckilly the "arcade" option allows you to go right to the sidescrolling shooting part.
Couldn't find a video showing the GBA version of this game (Youtube only showed the NDS version), so I had to record it myself, and since my desktop comp isn't exactly the fastest around (Pentium 4, 2GHz CPU; and only 1GB of RAM), the recording speed was only between 5 and 10 FPS (and that's with the emulator set to the smallest possible screensize which is 1x the size of the actual GBA screen). So please forgive the low quality of the video.

(Literary Essentials: Christian Fiction and Nonfiction)
Written during Girolamo Savonarola's final weeks in his Florentine prison, a term that would end with his fiery execution, these Psalm meditations, originally written in Latin, are his most-read works. He wrote these works after being tortured and signing a confession that recanted his faith, then regretting his weak will in the face of torture. His meditation on Psalm 51 is complete and offered in the form of a highly personal prayer to God who alone can provide hope as Savonarola faces his many enemies. His incomplete meditation on Psalm 31 presents only the first two verses and develops as a spiritual conversation between the writer and Sadness and Hope personified. Immediately popular, within two years Psalm 51 went through eight Latin editions and seventy-eight in Latin and vernaculars by 1600; Psalm 31 has seen more than eighty editions.
Each verse of Psalm 51 prompts a meditation. Sinful, Savonarola is abandoned by all but God, his only hope. Yet God is all, "the supreme reality . . . indescribable majesty," how can he presume to approach God? However, God is also supreme mercy, and Savonarola asks that God take away his misery. By the blood of Christ his salvation is made possible, and so he asks that God turn him toward himself, forgive his sins, and "justify [him] through your grace." As God's mercy aided Peter, Mary Magdalene, and the penitent thief, so may God deign to aid Savonarola: "blot out my iniquity . . . wipe clean my heart." The author has benefited from God's mercy before, but his fear and love of self and the world assure him that he is still "imperfectly clean" and in need of further cleansing with tears, the Scriptures, and divine graces. His sin was against God and therefore against himself, and it sits before him always. His sin was love of a creature (unspecified, perhaps himself) that interfered with his love of God, and fear of humans (under torture?) before fear of God. His tormentors claim that God has withdrawn all help, and Savonarola begs that God prove them wrong. He admits that Original Sin has twisted him and therefore made him prone to iniquity and sin and in need of God's mercy and kindness.
God is also complete and full of love, and Savonarola prays that by virtue of God's boundless love for his creation, he will save him. God's promise is contained in the stories of David and the prodigal son, and the promise is truth, and God loves truth. Savonarola is the prodigal son and relies only on the grace of Christ. The worldly philosophers do not understand the power of God's promise as does Savonarola, to whom it...

Gunners Sign Up To U-21 Premier League
Arsenal have announced that Barnet F.C's Underhill Stadium will be used to stage the home games for the U-19 ape of the Champions League, NextGen series. Underhill has long been home to Arsenal's Reserves though reserve matches were cut back at the League Two side's ground two seasons ago during the winter months in favour of London Colney's more comfortable conditions. The Young Gunners face Olympique Marseilles, Olympiacos and Athletic Bilbao in their group and all games will be open to the public at Underhill. The youngsters get the added bonus of facing Olympiacos U-19s in the first team's stadium, Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium.
The Reserve League- now rebranded the U-21 Premier League- also announced their fixture list today and the first two home games of the season will be hosted at Ashburton Grove. Monday, 20th August at 7pm Arsenal U-21s will face Bolton there and on Saturday, 25th August- a bank holiday Saturday with the first team away at Stoke the next day- they face Blackburn Rovers at 2pm. Terry Burton takes charge of both the U-21 and U-19 sides.
The new format will be an U-21 competition which will allow for four players older than 21 in the matchday 18. The 23 teams that have signed up are split into two groups of eight and one group of 7 that will play one another between August and December- much like the Champions League. The Top two from each group go through to the elite stage from January. The two best third placed teams will also join them as the competition becomes a knockout format. The idea is that fixtures are more regular, giving young players more game time to develop.
Arsenal's group contains Blackburn Rovers, Bolton Wanderers, Everton, Norwich City, West Ham United, Reading and West Bromwich Albion. The young Gunners will play all but two of their home games in front of the public at The Grove or Underhill and the final two behind closed doors at London Colney.
The club have not yet announced pricing structures for attending these matches. One imagines the NextGen games will be free as the Reserve games are at Barnet, whether or not the doors of Ashburton Grove will be thrust open gratis remains to be seen. I think it'd be a nice touch on the club's part if at least kiddies could get in for free. But we shall see. LD.

Lyme disease is an illness from getting bitten by a tick infected with a certain type of bacteria. It can cause fatigue, headache, stiff neck, fever, sore muscles and joints, and sometimes a red rash that looks like a bull's-eye.
Antibiotics usually work. If you don't get treated right away, Lyme disease can cause serious problems with the joints, nervous system, and heart.

Some years ago I went to a travelling exhibit of the Vatican art treasures.
One thing leapt out at me really clearly: In contrast to all the art treasures from previous centuries, the "art treasures" from the mid-2oth century onward were terrible.
Sometime I want to post a picture of the "Millennium vestments" they designed for John Paul II. They look like some kind of alien dignitary costume from Star Trek Voyager.
And bad Catholic art is by no means confined to the travelling art treasures exhibit.
The less said about the American "contribution" to the portraits of the Blessed Virgin Mary at the Basilica of the Annunciation in Nazareth, the better (pictured).
And there's that horrible, goofy statue in the foyer of the Vatican Museums of a man holding a cell phone fused with a smiling John Paul II. It looks like a transporter accident (see below).
And there's that sculpture in Rome of John Paul II that looks like the pope's head on top of a telephone box or bus shelter that's about to gobble up whoever steps inside it (see below).
And then there's that weird sculpture in the Paul VI hall that you see behind Pope Benedict when he's giving his weekly audiences. It looks like some kind of alien shrubbery from a show with a low budget for sets (see below).
And then there's . . . okay, enough!
I'm sure you're as sick of all the lousy Catholic art as I am.
So why not do something about it?
"Like what?" you say.
Well, how about supporting Catholic art education so that we can get better Catholic artists?
I'm glad to introduce a chance to do just that at the Chesterton Academy, where my buddy Tim Jones teaches art.
On his blog, Tim writes:
Since September 4th of this year, I've had the privilege of being the art instructor for the stupendously amazing 9th-12th grade students of the Chesterton Academy, in Edina, Minnesota (the West Minneapolis area).
Artwork © 2011 by recent Chesterton Academy graduate Alea Florin.
This delightful private Catholic high school was started as a grass-roots movement of parents. The school opened its doors in the fall of 2008 with just ten students; the following year it had twenty. In its third year, it had forty-two students. This year, over eighty students are enrolled, and the school is drawing national and even international attention. Chesterton Academy was just named one of the Top 50 Catholic High Schools in the United States by the Cardinal Newman Society.
Chesterton Academy "strives to offer a classical curriculum, one that draws on the great Western traditions of faith and reason wielded in concert" as part of "a meaningful education in an authentically Catholic environment". This includes a classical approach to art, where every student – in all four years – learns traditional methods of painting and drawing, art appreciation and art history from the cave art of Lascaux, to Egypt, Greece and Rome on up to the present day.
Our classical approach to studio art involves drawing and painting from real life, using a variety of objects and "casts" as visual references. As our program has grown, our need for casts and other art supplies has expanded as well.
A simple plaster sculpture cast.
One miraculous hallmark of the Chesterton Academy has been their continual ability to accomplish so much with so little. Their frugality is a virtue, because one fundamental goal of CA has been to make the classical education they offer as reasonably priced as possible, so as to keep it within reach of as many families as possible.
So there is a great opportunity, for those interested in encouraging young artists, to contribute in a substantial way that will be of immediate and direct help to these art students. Contributions of art supplies – like the plaster cast above, or drawing and painting materials – are tax deductible, and the Chesterton Academy (501c3) will provide a letter acknowledging your donation for that purpose.
But mostly, it's a great chance to be a part of this joyful and growing revolution in education.
Thank you!! Please e-mail me at email@example.com or post a comment and I will be in touch with more information. Meanwhile, here are some useful links for your perusal (but we will be very grateful for any kind of assistance you can offer!).
or, you can very simply donate directly to the Chesterton Academy;
(Jimmy again:) I hope you'll support the cause of Catholic art education.
Remember! If you don't then we may continue to be subject to art horrors like this:
And this:
And this:
Please be generous, won't you?

Yobs have once again caused thousands of pounds of damage to a non-league football club.
Vandals targeted Chorley FC's Victory Park Stadium smashing concrete blocks leaving a huge hole in a fence and banging nails into several door locks.
It is thought the damage happened on Friday.
The damage meant anybody could have walked into Saturday's FA Cup second-round qualifying tie against Glossop North End.
It is the third incident at the club's ground in the past year.
In March, three televisions, stereo systems and a DVD player were stolen while in June, crooks attempted to set fire to an executive box as well as destroying several roof tiles.
The recent damage is expected to cost the club in the region of £1,200.
To look at preventing further damage to the ground, the club has priced up a number of schemes including high security fences and barbed with costs totalling £30,000.
Officials at the club have been left shocked at the recent spate of vandalism.
Vice-chairman Graham Watkinson said: "Everybody at the club feels they are fighting a losing battle and I think it could get worse with the new skate park.
"The area needs managing and the club has been asked to work with the people creating the new facilities.
"The damage is ridiculous, the offenders are going to every effort to do this.
"They didn't just kick the panels out. If they put that much effort into getting a job they'd do much better in life.
"We've looked at different schemes to help prevent this but they are very expensive and it will be hard for a club our size to pay for it.
"All the hard work we put in on the pitch is going to waste, we received £4,500 from The FA after defeating Glossop North End in The FA Cup and now some of that prize money will have to go towards repair work.
Mr Watkinson is urging any members of the public who may know those responsible to come forward and speak out.
He added: "We are asking everybody in the local community to come forward and help us out. This shouldn't be happening. Any information could be vital, people aren't travelling miles to do this sort of damage they are local to the area. It's vital we catch them and stop this constant vandalism once and for all."
Chorley Police have been notified about every incident at Victory Park over the past year.
If you have any information please call 101.

Seducing the Sexy Celebrity Chef
by Giselle Renarde
(Explicit Erotic Romance)
No critic rating
Waiting for minimum critic reviews
Holly wants more than just an autograph from TV's sexy Chef Burley. Every time she watches the celebrity sweating over a hot stove, she imagines him sweating on top of her. Holly's not usually the kind of woman who would throw herself at a man, but she's willing to make an exception for Chef Burley.
Every woman at the book signing wants a piece of the sexy celebrity chef. How will Holly stand out from the crowd?
Fast-paced erotica from award-winning writer Giselle Renarde.
WARNINGS: This erotic short story contains explicit language and graphic sex.
Word Count: 7,900
Holly didn't care if everyone thought she was crazy—she was going to get more than just an autograph from Chef Burley.
She'd arrived hours before the book signing, thinking she'd be first in line. She should have known better. Every horny housewife in town was queued outside the yet-to-open restaurant, drooling for a taste of the sexy celebrity chef.
"I can't get enough of Chef Burley," said one woman in the line-up.
"I know what you mean," another chimed in. "Every time I watch his show, it gets me so worked up I pounce on my hubby. Poor guy doesn't know what hit him!"
Holly hugged Chef Burley's cookbook tight to her chest. As far as she knew, the sexy celebrity was single, just like her. Those women didn't know how lucky they were, having husbands to warm their beds. If they realized their good fortune, they wouldn't be hanging around out here, discussing all the dirty things they'd like to do with the chef.
When the line finally started to move, Holly's stomach dropped. No, she couldn't do this. Come face to face with the man whose presence, even on TV, made her ache with want? No. No way.
But she didn't turn around. She didn't leave. As the line moved forward, so did she, step by step, until an assistant asked her, "Who would you like your autograph made out to?"
"To Holly," she said.
Without another word, the austere assistant tore the cookbook from her arms.
She was still three side-steps away from Chef Burley, but if she leaned forward and looked down the table, she could see him. He was right there, in the flesh! They were breathing the same air. Unbelievable!
Holly bit her lip to keep herself from squealing. She always squealed when she watched his TV show—squealed, and throbbed, and wished for just a few minutes alone with him.
When Holly's turn came up, her knees nearly buckled. She'd worn a push-up bra, just for him. Bending forward, she let her low-cut blouse fall open. For Chef's eyes only!
Chef Burley looked up, and his eyes bulged. A playful smirk bled across his lips. "Have you been waiting long?"
Holly giggled like a schoolgirl. Oh, his accent! He was so sophisticated, so unlike the blockheads in this town. She wanted to grab his white chef's jacket, pull him across the table, and kiss him until he couldn't breathe.
Instead, Holly tittered and chewed her nail while Chef Burley scrawled his signature across the front page of his book. Every day on her way to work, she rehearsed what she'd say if she ever met him. Now he was right there, close enough to grab, and she didn't know what to do.
"Thanks for buying my book," Chef Burley said, looking her straight in the eye. Oh, those baby blues! They made her feel faint. "I hope you enjoy it, Sally."
She giggled and nodded as a second assistant handed back her copy of the cookbook. Their gazes lingered while she backed away. She was so besotted she just about walked into the drinks table.
Wait… had Chef Burley called her Sally?

Suits S01E07: "Sucker Punch"
There were several "sucker punches" in this week's aptly titled episode of Suits. There was, of course, the literal sucker punch that Harvey landed on Travis Tanner's face as well as the figurative one Donna landed when she refused to testify in the mock trial Pearson-Hardman had orchestrated to smooth out the wrinkles in their case against Tanner—namely, that it would be hard to sell Harvey as a lawyer with integrity to a bunch of strangers when most of the people he worked with, including the partners who hold his job in their hands, didn't actually see him that way themselves. There was also the shocking line of questioning/badgering that Louis dealt when Mike managed to convince Donna to testify despite her apprehension. She surely wasn't expecting it to be a good time, but Louis definitely crossed a line that had her walking away from her former peers humiliated. Finally, there was the one we've been waiting all season to see: Daniel Hardman's betrayal, just when he had started to make us question our haste to take Team Jessica's side way back at the beginning of the season. Yup. He went there.
For the first time in the series, Harvey's "damage" was discussed openly and seriously. It's been hinted at since the beginning that Harvey came from not only a poor family, but possibly an abusive one, and while his background has shaped him into the driven paragon of secret morality that he is today, it's not something that Harvey finds pride in. Harvey's past goes beyond being a "touchy" subject—it's one that is absolutely verboten, outside of the pleasantly patriotic detail that he started out working in Pearson-Hardman's mail room and eventually ended up being made a partner.
But the thing is, as Mike put it, "People are who they are." As much as Harvey tried to deny his roots and their continued influence on his life, at his core, he can't help but care. In a desperate bid to show the partners who Harvey Specter truly is, Jessica assaulted his defenses with a ruthless line of questioning designed to bring it all out. Harvey was raised not to be weak—"If they think you're weak, they'll walk all over you." Caring is a weakness in the armor; to appear to care is to point a flashing neon arrow at those weak spots. Case in point, Harvey's response to Louis's brutal questioning of Donna, cruelly revealing to the court that Donna's last boyfriend dumped her because she constantly chose obligations to Harvey over obligations to their relationship, demanding that she answer the question, "Do you love Harvey Specter?"
Harvey, a known hardass who, if the widow at the center of the Coastal Motors lawsuit was anyone to judge by, regularly dished out similar treatment to those unlucky enough to be testifying for the other team, couldn't stand to see someone he cared about be subjected to the same treatment. Whether his feelings for Donna are or were romantic at one time was irrelevant because the fact that he had any kinds of obvious feelings toward her at all was damning enough in his eyes.
Yet ultimately, it was that burst of vulnerability that restored Harvey's credibility with the partners in attendance of the mock trial. He became human, and therefore relatable and understandable. It also probably helped that, despite their heated exchange in the aftermath of Donna's testimony, Jessica managed to get Louis to admit that despite his personal hatred for his rival, Louis believed that Harvey was a good lawyer who deserved his position and, most importantly (in the context of the Coastal Motors lawsuit) was not the kind of lawyer who would have willingly committed fraud to advance his case.
Louis's honest testimony was enough to convince the partners not to cut Harvey lose and gave Jessica the confidence to pursue a trial against Tanner despite the unfavorable odds, but Mike took it upon himself to find a Plan B. After all, Jessica wouldn't be able to coax a favorable portrait of her defendant from the prosecuting attorney during the real trial. Armed with his assertion that "People are who they are," Mike dove into Travis Tanner's old case files, certain that he would find something illegal SOMEWHERE. That's just the kind of lawyer Tanner is.
When Hardman helped and later utilized whatever mystery transgression they had against Tanner to force a favorable settlement from the slimeball, Harvey reluctantly agreed to settle—one more sucker punch to add to our list, with Jessica counting on his tie-breaker vote to be in her favor, a stance that meant going to trial against Tanner. Hardman used the opportunity to finally make his move and cast doubt on Jessica's capability to manage the firm. With that in mind, I'm not entirely convinced that he and Mike found ANYTHING on Tanner. After all, when Harvey asked Mike what they'd used against him, Mike claimed not to know. I wouldn't put it past Hardman to have maybe paid Tanner off in order to force Harvey onto a side against Jessica, leaving her wide open for attack.
So it looks like we have to save Jessica now. And what of Donna? Her return to Pearson-Hardman seems no more likely than it did two weeks ago, possibly even less so considering the mortifying nature of Louis' questioning. Would YOU want to go back to working with those people if you were Donna?
– Jacinda Barrett, Gabriel Macht's real-life wife, guest starred as the jury expert brought in to advise Pearson-Hardman. They were fun to watch.
– Still no word on Rachel's LSAT scores. Or whatever test she took. I don't even remember anymore. It happened, right? I didn't just, like, hallucinate an entire storyline?
– I'm glad that the lie detector test failure on Mike's part got chalked up to nervousness. My first though as soon as Louis asked him where he went to law school was, "Oh god, not this again." Granted, I'm sure it WILL come up again, eventually, since Mike's ongoing fraud is one of the most important aspects of the show, and that's fine. I just didn't feel like dealing with it on top of Harvey being emo, Donna being exiled, and Hardman being a dick.
– You know, I felt bad for Louis, even after what he did to Donna. It was awful, but man, he was remorseful, telling Harvey, "What just happened to that beautiful woman in there— that's on you." In a way, you could argue that Louis's ability to put aside his personal fondness for Donna to ruin her for what I guess could be argued as "the good of the company" illustrated Harvey's point about caring being a weakness. However, Louis did care. So is the weakness still there? Let's think like Harvey for a minute.
– I feel like there needs to be a line of Harvey Specter action figures. I mean, he's always doing random exciting things, almost like a manlier Ken doll. We could have Sports Car Harvey with bonus Ferrari play set and Baseball All-Star Harvey with a little plastic high school MVP trophy. This week, we can add Boxing Champion Harvey Specter with special "sucker punching" action to the collection.

Hi seedsngarlick!
I just wanted to chime in ( hope you don't mind!) with a few thoughts!
I've been to them all -multiple times (well just once to Sandals Emerald Bay!) !
One of the things that I love about Sandals is how each resort is different- they each have their own personalty and ambiance! One of the things I stress to my clients is to find teh perfect sandals for their needs and desires!
Some of my clients may LOVE Sandals Grand Ocho Rios and hate sandals royal caribbean and others the other way around - it really depends on what they wanted their vacation to be!
I have clients that travel to sandals twice a yaer- love the concept but I advise them against certain properties because I know that the particular resort is not a good fit and they would hate it!
Some of the things that have to be taken into consideration are:
Do you want a quieter or active resort?
What age group do you want to vacation with?
Are you more into beaches or pools?
Do you want activities outside of the resort -or to relax the whole time?
Your budget- at what property do you get the most "bang" for your buck?
What kind of room are you most comfortable with ?
For weddings- what do YOU want to experience? How does that jive with your guests budget?
While I have certain resorts that I absolutely adore they may not be what YOU need for your wedding/vacation.
So I would really encourgae you to take others opinions with a grain of salt!
Ok that being said- Ocho Rios is not that much farther than Negril . Sandals Negril is about an hour to an hr 10-15 minute drive (depending on traffic). Sandals Grande Ocho Rios is an hour 30-40 minutes.
And.......Sandals Negril is fantastic- the ambiance is very caribbean and the sunsets, .......ahhhhhh. But it is a small resort and very compact.
Sandals Grande Ocho Rios is a large, very lush resort. This is great for those that like to spend more time at the pool, looking at the ocean.There are pools tucked everywhere and a large pool up on the manor side of the resort. Beach here is smaller but works - there is ample space on the main portion of the beach for everyone and plenty of water sports! the price is generally less expensive for Sandals grande Ocho Rios than for Sandals Negril.
I've had weddings, honeymoons and vacationers at both that absolutly loved their stay!
Help for an indecisive bride!

Why on earth am I having such a hard time saying yes to the resort?!

We're only weeks away from The Walking Dead's midseason premiere. The drama left us with an epic cliffhanger. Daryl (Norman Reedus) and his big brother Merle (Michael Rooker) were forced to fight each other — gladiator style. And Andrea (Laurie Holden) watched in horror.
While their lives hang in the balance, Andrea is shocked by The Governor's (David Morrissey) despicable behavior. His treatment of Daryl underscores the devious side viewers have seen for months.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, expect Andrea to have a new outlook on The Governor.
Holden explains, "Andrea's eyes are now opening; she had no idea that Rick and the others were still alive. Now she's learning that the group is not only alive but that one of her friends has been captured by the man she's been romantically involved with. Her head is exploding."
Now that Andrea knows the truth, what's her next move? She's stuck between a rock and a hard place. But don't count her out. Holden insists Andrea isn't as blind as some might think.
"Andrea has a really good sense of character, and she loves Rick's group," she adds. "She doesn't know they're at the prison, so she's got a lot of catching up to do. But I can guarantee you that what she does, her heart is in the right place."
The Walking Dead returns Feb. 10 at 9/8c on AMC.

Next paycheck, I say in answer to their exasperated looks, we'll get it all fixed. Maybe. I give them a key and tell them to walk the short distance to the house and begin their homework.
For a moment, I'm busy fitting the gas nozzle into the tank. When I look up, they're well on their way, halfway across the parking lot. Little sister Katie is in the middle, holding the hands of her two brothers on either side. I can hear that they've picked up on a conversation begun in the car, reciting again what to them are the hysterically funny bits of a Monty Python movie. Katie's head turns from side to side as she follows the conversation. The jokes are beyond her, but she laughs, because her brothers do.
Now I don't know if it's the fumes rising from the gas tank or the humidity hanging heavily over the Florida earth, but for a moment, my children appear to be floating in ripples of air, figures in a dream, a little girl laughing and skipping between brothers whose hold on her small hands seems careless, but, I can tell from an ever-increasing distance, is actually as unyielding as Egyptian mortar.
And, leaning against my car in the stillness of early evening, something sweeps over me that is weightier than a thought, stronger than a feeling. It is knowledge from the place where truth resides, perhaps within me, perhaps somewhere else. It is a gift I did not ask for but cannot ignore.
They will be all right, it whispers.
Like other parents, I have spent the greater part of my mothering years over fifteen of them now worrying. With cause. Parents in America have reason to fret over how to rear decent human beings in an often corrupt and degrading culture, threatened by economic insecurity, hearing daily about violence almost everywhere.
And we have our own histories, our particular family stories that make us fear, in this psychologized age, that our children will doubtless be damaged beyond repair, or propelled into life-long therapy.
For me, as for many, it is divorce: a divorce I instigated when my oldest son was 10, at a time when I looked at the rest of my life and saw it as one long, dark tunnel. But was I being selfish? Are we all better off? I've kept asking, even as the thought of being married to my children's father fades into an unlamented, unrecoverable memory, and even though my children seem to understand and my oldest has told me, more than once, that in his view, it's better that his father and I are no longer married.
I worry about their spiritual lives, too. Is God real to them? Catholic schools, weekly Mass, constant discussions of religion at home; but is it enough? Is God real for them? When they seek to calm those restless hearts, will they turn to God's peace or succumb to temptations that may soothe briefly but inevitably bring long-term wounds?
So we worry, because our families are not quite the families we thought we would build and our world has certainly not evolved as we expected. Are we doing enough? We ask, "Will they be okay?"
This evening I got my answer. They will be all right.
Tears gather unbidden in the corners of my eyes, and my throat tightens in gratitude for the whispered assurance. I follow the three unique and precious people born from my body, assured that they've reached their destination safely.
I had driven them thus far in this slightly shabby, yet still serviceable vehicle, the only one available to me, and they had spilled out of it, sent to go the rest of the way on their own.
They're out of sight and hearing now, but the One who molded them within me assures me that I have indeed done enough because it was all I could do, and they have all the confidence they need to go the rest of the way now, and unlock the doors to whatever places they will call home.

When California gasoline prices topped $5 a gallon early last month, the state's big refiners said they were performing maintenance at some of the plants and a couple were recovering from forced shutdowns due to fires. Now, a consumer advocacy group, Consumer Watchdog, has asked the state's attorney general to launch a criminal investigation into the refiners' words and deeds during that period.
In a letter to Attorney General Kamala Harris, Consumer Watchdog accuses the refiners of "running their refineries and building inventories even when they said they were performing maintenance." The group also wants the attorney general to block the sale of BP PLC's (NYSE: BP) Carson refinery to Tesoro Corp. (NYSE: TSO), saying "a California refining market that is already concentrated and uncompetitive will become a duopoly with Chevron and Tesoro controlling 54 percent of the market if the merger goes through."
The consumer group charges that the Chevron Corp. (NYSE: CVX) Richmond refinery was never shut down in May as the company claimed, and that the Martinez refinery, owned by Royal Dutch Shell PLC (NYSE: RDS-A) was making gasoline for at least half time it was supposed to be closed.
Regarding the fire at Chevron's Richmond plant, the group said:
October's huge price hike that pushed gasoline up 50 cents a gallon in the space of a week was partly blamed on Chevron's Richmond fire in August. But [research firm] McCullough [Research] says that Chevron's supplies at the time were only growing.
Consumer Watchdog concludes that the refiners were not telling the truth:
It appears that California's oil refineries falsified public information to drive up the price of gasoline, an allegation that, if true, is criminal conduct and reminiscent of the Enron-like manipulation of the California energy market. This unprecedented information demands a criminal investigation.
The letter to the attorney general is available here.

It`s an odd time of year to make raisins for us – grapes are hardly in season and won`t be for some time. But there`s a few reasons that motivated this effort:
- I am doing a bunch of other dehydrating. Our dehydrator raises the temperature of our kitchen by several degrees. Since we`ve planted seeds for the gardening season I`m using the opportunity to dehydrate and to add warmth to the room they`re in (I keep them on top of the highest furniture where they get the most warmth).
- I`ve tried raisins a few times and not been happy with the results. Doing small batch off-season experiments are a great way to learn and allow you to develop skills and determine if you want to make larger batches mid-season.
The difficulty in drying grapes is two-fold: there`s a lot of moisture and a tough membrane (the skin) which makes the evaporation of it`s water content difficult. There are two ways to over come this:
- `Check`the skin by breaking it. This typically means piercing it with a skewer, toothpick or needle or freezing it to burst the skins. I believe you could also drop individual grapes in boiling water for moments to do so (this works great for cranberries which suffer a similar fate).
- Cut them.
Piercing can actually take more work than slicing – and the drying times can be considerably longer. A sliced grape will dry in 12-20 hours while a pierced whole grape will become a raisin in 24-36 hours (we dry all of our fruit at 135 F or 57 C). Sliced grapes have a slightly odd shape when dried as a raisin but I love them:
Home dried grapes, like much dehydrated food, are simply superior to commercially bought product. The texture is closer to a date – almost crispy on the outside with a chewy inside. These were super sweet and I`d use a fraction of the amount of these compared to commercial raisins.
Any thoughts we`ve missed on raisins? They`re well worth making and we`ll be ready for when the season hits this year.

Re: Denzler Family History
In reply to:
Re: Denzler Family History
Lewie Dunn:
{{I tried to send the following message to you via e-mail, but the firstname.lastname@example.com rejected the message.}}
I noticed your January or December post in this new forum (been looking for Densler forum for years now and never thought to search for Denzler or Dantzler) regarding Anna Wettstein.
I have noticed the complex of names pinned onto her and her ascendants. I now see that there are a lot of WorldConnect Project reports filed under both Wettstein and Wetzstein, and some on Whetstone.
My Densler/Denzler/Dantzler ascendency goes back fairly far but Anna's descendency to Felix and Hans Wettstein/Wetzstein is where mine stops.
I have added the following statement to my GedCom file regarding my Wisenbaker lineage:
"Poor Anna has suffered a deluge of names over the years:
Anna Wezstein (Faust, Vol. I, pg. 60; "Some Immigrants in the Eighteenth Century to South Carolina Townships Amelia, New Windsor, Orangeburgh, Saxe Gotha," Gene Jeffries, 30 Eastgrove Ct., Columbia, SC 29212; e-mail email@example.com) (I find no Wettstein, Wezstein, Whetstone, etc., in the
Pallantine/Salzburg Transport manifests transcriptions to Savannah, Ga. -- the early ones appear to head to South Carolina.);
Anna Whetstone;
Anna Wettstein (Lewie Dunn reply February 2, 2000 on Denzler Family Genealogy Forum, "Denzler Family History");
Anna Wetzstein (Linda Kennedy February 20, 2000 message on Denzler Family Genealogy
Forum)(Jennifer Payne's Genealogy report on WorldConnect Project, Feb. 21, 2000);
Hannah Wetzstein; and
Hannah Dorothea Wichine (Clifford J. Goodman, Jr.'s WorldConnect Project gedcom material - November 19, 1999; citing from LDS Ancestral File)."
Knowing how the ship's manifest logs and early colonial records have anglicized names, it not a wonder that Wettstein had come up with different spellings. I find that this has happened even in the old country amongst the same family members and/or if they moved into a new country or parish.
Thus, being not a judge or jury, I will continue to use all the names provided (even those that appear to be ridiculous or not supportive by any tangible evidence) and leave it for someone with higher authority (have not met that person yet) to sort it out.
Any background data on this surname Wettsteind/Wetzstein/etc. will be appreciated and will be added to my onlinematerial at http://laanderson.com/laa-gene.htm#wisenhttp://laanderson.com/laa-gene.htm#wisen (sometimes later - more likely later than sooner). I am making a July 15th Wisenbaker reunion and some of those researchers want
me to bring them up to date. I have printed out a Wisenbaker.rtf, Dantzler.rtf, Dasher.rtf, and now a Wettstein.rtf report to take to the reunion. A lot of the Dasher material comes from the members of the Georgia Salzburg Society, including Berkley Ivey. Most of the Wisenbaker material comes from Reba Wisenbaker Paine's book Christopher and his Children."
Some of my basic material is online at http://laanderson.com/laa-gene.htmhttp://laanderson.com/laa-gene.htm.

Imagine drinking a liquid as gold as fall leaves and full of the tangy spirit of autumn: That`s cider. Cold or hot, cider holds the flavors and colors of the apple harvest intact.
Humorist Christopher Morley wrote, ``I prefer cider soft, with all its sweetness and the transfusing savor of the fruit animating it; at the peak of its deliciousness it has a small, airy sparkle against the roof of the mouth.`` That sparkle is the low alcohol content (or ``4 1/2 percent of sin,`` as Morley puts it) of a slightly fermented cider. American tradition holds that hard cider, or applejack, is an acceptable drink. But most consumers choose cider that is fresh, sweet and free of preservatives.

I created the current url just to test out word press to decide whether we want to move to our clients blog to word press. Now that we want to move it to word press, I need to change the url from my name to the client specific name. It needs to change from kaushikmahendravadi.wordpress.com to clientname.wordpress.com. Looking through the support, I guess one way is to create a new blog with the clientname as the url. But then can I transfer the upgrade from my current blog to the new blog. If not, is there anyway you can do it behind the scenes and change the url.
I know that other way is domain mapping and i will be using that but still i don't want any reference of my name anywhere for client's blog site.
The blog I need help with is kaushikmahendravadi.wordpress.com.

Readers will find this charming, funny, easy-to-read middle-grade novel from the beloved Patrick Jennings an absolute hoot!
When the new kid joins his class, Woodrow agrees with his schoolmates—Toulouse is really weird. He's short—kindergarten short—dresses in a suit like a grandpa, has huge eyes, and barely says a word. But Woodrow isn't exactly Mr. Popularity. The frequent target of the class bully himself, he figures that maybe all Toulouse needs is a chance. And when the two are put together in gym to play volleyball, they make quite the team. Toulouse can serve, set, and spike like a pro. He really knows how to fly around the court. But when the attention and teasing switch back to Woodrow, he learns that the new kid is great at something else: being a friend.
Full of heart and laughs, Odd, Weird, and Little is another winner from the author of the Guinea Dog series.

with Simplicity Expert, A.Michelle Blakeley
Seeking outside professional help is one of the best ways to turn your business around when you find it is stagnate, stuck or sinking. Business coaches and consultants have been effectively used by Fortune 500 companies as well as "mom and pop" shops. The common denominator is the fact that the business owner recognized the existence of a specialized skill or knowledge gap and took action on getting the necessary help to close that gap.
With such a wide variety of business coaches and consultants available, entrepreneurs and small business owners can get in depth assistance in a core area of expertise like marketing, branding, finance, operations, client service, sales, social media, organization, legal, etc.
Micro Business Therapy™ takes a holistic approach to sourcing the root of problem areas by realigning your principles, practices and purpose. Every business coach and consultant operates within their area of expertise and with their own approach. The following questions will help a Micro Business Therapist™ realign your business purpose, core values and infrastructure with holistic business practices to ensure your principles reflect your practices, so that you can organically attract clients and grow your business.
1. Have you worked with a business coach or consultant before? It's good to share your experience with previous coaches and consultants. Not everyone works the same way, uses the same strategy, techniques or agenda. What worked well and what did you wish had worked differently? Regardless of this being a new experience or you've used a coach/consultant before, communication is essential and getting a clear understanding of expectations will aid the process.
2. Do you know what your purpose is? Before we get into the deep stuff, it's important to know if you are clear about your purpose. Why are you doing what you are doing? What's your reason for expending your time, energy and effort into your business?
3. You're at your best when…? We all have natural areas for optimal performance, whether it be a certain time of the day, when we are eating right/exercising, when we have the support of family/friends, when have access to…? When gotten a certain amount of sleep, etc.
4. Are your goals and objectives clarified? Are you clear about what your end game is? What does success mean and represent to you? Are your goals tied to family, finances, emotional, etc?
5. What is the problem you are hoping to solve? What is your perspective on what needs to change or happen in your business in order to get back on track, be productive and/or achieve your version of success?
6. Do you know what your core values are? Your core values and purpose are the foundation of your business. Everything is built around them. Your client experience, your business culture, your brand/identity, etc. It is what keeps you centered and focused when distractions, disruptions and detours happen.
7. Do you have a clearly defined client profile? Before you sell a product or service, you have to know who you are selling to, their demographics, where to find them and what problem or need you are solving for them. How they want to be communicated to/with.
8. Do you have a compelling value proposition? With all the white noise coming across in ads, conversations, social media, television, etc. You have to be able to distinguish yourself from the competition with a unique selling proposition. What makes your business so unique? What do you offer head and shoulders above your competition? What's your differentiation?
9. Do you know what is currently happening in your profession and industry? What are the current trends? Are you up-to-date on industry standards and offerings? Certifications? Licensing? Terminology? Laws? When is the last time you attended an industry-related convention or trade show? Seminar? Webinar?
10. Do you still enjoy working in and on your business? If not, why? Before you can get reenergized and invigorated to shift gears, you have to find the source of your passion and determine if it is sustainable passion or misguided passion.
11. Is your income and/or revenue where it should be? Do you have a budget and financial projections written down? Do you know what your industry standards are? Do you know why sales are/are not where they need to be? How did you get there? Is your pricing competitive? Effective?
12. Where do you want your business to be in 2 years? Entrepreneurs and small business owners used to be able to plan and forecast for 5 and 10 years down the road. However, technology and our current society forces us to adapt and change much more often. Though it may still make sense to plan for 5 years down the road, your active plan should only be for 1 or 2 years out.
13. Are you ready for change? Acknowledging and knowing what the problem is completely different from taking action to fix it. You have to be ready to accept and prepared for change, before you can change. Change is often uncomfortable. It forces us to stretch away from our current position. Sometimes it hurts and sometimes it can be exhilarating. You have to be able to take the easy parts along with the hard parts.
It's important to speak candidly and effectively communicate your needs when you are working with a coach, consultant or Micro Business Therapist™. Put all of your cards on the table so that they have an opportunity to get the full picture regarding the state of your business. You don't know what you don't know. A fresh pair of eyes and non-judgmental pair ears can be just want you need to get the inspiration, knowledge and direction you need to get unstuck.

I miss it too NiceShoes! I heard it's not coming back this spring, but it has been renewed, so it will be back on Mondays this fall
"With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world."
"I lost my dignity on a slippery wiener."
It's renewed for the Fall? Fantastic news!! I love this show!
Chuck will return in the Fall on Monday nights as the pre-runner to Heroes.
Hooray!! I miss this show! Mondays... will it go against DWTS?
Tahoe bound....
I'm eagerly awaiting its return and will definitely rent the DVD for Season 1 when it comes out to refresh my memory. A witty and fun show with a great ensemble cast.
Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
-- Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759
I just watched the whole first season this weekend. I love this show, the characters are hilarious. I find I don't really care all that much about the spy stuff.
The look on Big Mike's face when he finally noticed that his store had been cleaned out and his fish was missing was priceless. I didn't watch during the actual airings because there was just too much on tv on which ever day of the week this show was on and I knew I was saving it for the summer. I'm glad I waited.
Some of my fave shows of the season are funny and quirky and the characters are likable.
"Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one."
First new episode of Chuck comes back on Monday, 9/29 at 8:00 p.m.
I'm finally catching up - I've had the whole season on Tivo forever! I am currently on the one where Bryce is alive and Carlos from Third Watch is on it. I tried not to read everyone's comments since I don't want to be spoiled.
I think this is a cool and quirky show. I'm glad it's coming back.
Oh, yipee!
Before we begin, what are the parameters of the guessing game? How many guesses do I get? Is there a time limit?
Can't hardly wait!
Ready for Easter!

Former Juneau resident William Allen "Bill" Ruhle, 74, died Jan. 27, 2004, in Palm Springs, Calif.
He was born March 27, 1929, to William and Edna Ruhle in Chicago. He married Elizabeth "Betty" Barber and lived in Waterloo, Iowa. Looking for adventures and construction employment opportunities, he drove his family of seven up the Alcan Highway to live in Alaska in the early 1960s.
A staunch rank-and-file union member since the 1950s, he rose to Teamster Union business agent in the 1970s and retired from Local 959 in Juneau. During his working years, he was also an avid boatman, commercial fisherman and NASCAR enthusiast. He spent many years with his wife on the waters of Southeast Alaska. They enjoyed the rugged lifestyle of Alaska - travel, fishing, viewing whales, glaciers and the northern lights. He instilled a love of adventure and traveling each of his children. After settling into retirement in Palm Springs, he enjoyed frequent visits from his family.
He is survived by his wife of 56 years, Elizabeth of Palm Springs; three daughters, Toni Knight, Sukie Selman and Connie LaRose, all of Alaska; two sons, Mike and Daniel Ruhle of Alaska; brothers, David, Jack and Bob Vanderbilt; thirteen grandchildren; and thirteen great-grandchildren.
There will be a private service.

Essence magazine has dumped the controversial white fashion director, Ellianna Placas, after more than two years on the job.
Essence stated that Placas' firing was caused by her and editor-in-chief Constance White never agreeing about the direction of the magazine from a fashion standpoint.
"They had different visions for fashion coverage," a source told bossip.com.
Placas' hiring in 2010 incited a fierce backlash from Essence's African American female readership who complained bitterly that: one, that the slot should have been given to a talented black fashion connoisseur; and two, a white fashion director would not properly represent black female interests from a fashion standpoint.
The disdain for Placas' hiring was so intense and widespread among its base that Essence leadership had to come forward with an official statement to justify her appointment.
A representative for Essence has confirmed that Placas is no longer with the iconic magazine and that they are searching for Placas' replacement.

Gotta say you picked all the right bad guys, though it's hard to be disappointed by DeLay because you knew what he was about already. Schmoozer Bergstein is one that a lot of people tend to like, but he's right down there with DiLorenzo in my book.
Of course, we also have a very disappointing governor.
Where's Kelly Wirth?
I'm only kidding. You're right, she was worthy of inclusion.
Amen on Wyden. Talk about taking your constituency for granted.
I guess you should offer cheesy emoticons. ;)
Amen on Wyden.
He'd better make lots of friends in New York. Maybe he can take Hillary's place when she goes back to Arkansas.
I'd list PGE above Hennessee. I had the misfortune to attend a luncheon this year with Peggy Fowler as the speaker. The worst thing was listening to the business community applaud her when PGE has been ripping them off for years.

Hello there everyone! I've wanted to write a story like this for a while, especially now that I'm back in bonny Scotland! As the story continues, you will realize that things won't always be historical correct. I didn't want to write a repeat of history, i wanted to use it and turn it into something new! I really do hope you enjoy it. Please read and review, I haven't got any reviews at all in all of my stories, and it's really discouring, good or bad! I'm giving writing on here one more shot, and if I don't get any feedback, then I'm done /
Let me know what you think! Sorry the first chapter is so short!

My father and brother never returned from their meeting with the English. My heart-broken sister-in-law took my nephew and left the village, heading back home to the southern clans that had better relations with the English border. The men of the our village held a council, deciding if war with the English would be for better or worse. My father was once their leader, and my brother his right-hand man, losing them was only a brief view of what was to come. For the English army was already marching it's way into the highlands, preparing for the next attack.
I could hear my name being called, through the clashing of swords and the screams of woman and children, I could hear my name being called. I tried to see through the mist of blood and sweat, dodging the bodies falling round me as my people fell prey to the English. There, Alistair was there, kicking an English off the edge of his blade and onto the ground. I ran towards him, looking straight at him, running through the pools of blood as if they were the rain puddles I was so accustomed too.
Alistair tucked me into the crook of his arm, crouching down behind one of the remaining shelters as he passed a letter to me.
"Take this to the Drummond clan, they need warned of this attack, for they will be next! Go Sileas, do not fail me, or your people!"
I grasped at the letter, unwilling to let it escape my clutches. My hands were sweaty and my heart was pounding, I knew I was the only one that could do this task. Alistair's black war horse was standing between the trees at the forests edge. Saddled and packed with a few basic supplies, including a blanket and some water. There was no time to gather food, I would have to ride without it. The beast remained still as I attempted to climb onto it's back, failing miserably as it was 3 times my height. I placed my foot on the stir up one last time, and the horse fell to it's knees, dropping low enough for me to throw my leg over and balance on the saddle. I leaned into it's neck, whispering a small prayer beneath my breath as it started riding, already knowing it's destination.

Texas A&M Student LGVMA
We are excited to announce that after a few years of inactivity
the Texas A&M Student Chapter of the LGVMA is back up and
running. This April, we held our first meeting to discuss
future plans and elect leadership. Our new officers include
Joseph Hicks as president, Ash Mills as vice president, Elise
Jemmott as secretary, and Christine Elkins as treasurer.
We are proud of the great turnout to this first meeting
(over 30 students) and the enthusiasm with which those in
attendance carried themselves.
This revitalization of the A&M LGVMA started with the recent
AAVMC survey. After the survey results were released, student
leadership in the Council for Diversity and Professionalism (CDP),
a long-standing group within the college charged to help provide
advice to the administration and also actively develop programs
that promote a positive, welcoming environment within the college,
realized a need to focus on promoting a positive environment for
LGBT students. As such, they requested that AVMA Director,
Dr. Michael Chaddock, visit our campus with his presentation on
LGBT Issues in Veterinary Medicine. With a turnout of over
100 students, Dr. Chaddock brought up the issue that the A&M
CVM needed to bring back the LGVMA. In addition, as a pledge
to promote diversity within our college, the leadership of the
College, Dean Eleanor Green and Associate Dean for Professional
Programs Kenita Rogers made significant financial support available
to help our organization get up to speed again.
Our sincere gratitude goes to Dr. Chaddock for his amazing
inspiration and to our administration for providing such an
awe-inspiring gift. Special thanks also go to our faculty
advisors, professor Dr. Jörg Steiner and CVM Chief of Staff John
Scroggs, whose encouragement has been invaluable as we continue to
rebuild our organization.
We look forward to providing a network for LGBT students within
the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine. This
is truly a great time to be an Aggie vet student as we continue to
promote a friendly and diverse environment.

Cleaning paint spray guns generated significant amounts of solvent waste. Additionally, guns cleaned with the traditional soak method became clogged when the cleaning operation was not performed by experienced personnel
P2 Application:
Thermon purchased a spray gun cleaning system that circulates solvent through the gun. The cleaning solvent is filtered to remove particulates that clog the gun and the solvent is reused several times. The system decreases solvent purchases and more effectively cleans the paint spray gun even with inexperienced personnel performing the cleaning.
Environmental Benefits:
Thermon has reduced solvent used to clean spray guns by about 60%.
Details of Reductions
Additional Information :
The cost of the spray gun system was $700. The system was found to be very economical due to reduced solvent costs and, more importantly, reduced spray gun failure due to improper cleaning. The cost of the unit was recovered in 6 to 8 months even though Thermon does little painting.

Capello on Zamora
This time tomorrow we`ll all be a little wiser as to whether Bobby Zamora did himself justice and performed well for England, against Sweden.
Zamora, named in the starting eleven, has waited patiently for his chance and at the press conference, held in the Hertfordshire Hotel the squad are staying in, Fabio Capello had this to say about our Bobby,
"I`ve had Zamora around the team for a long time."
"He had some hand problems at the start of the season and his balance was not good."
"But, in the last few games, he`s played really well. I want to see him at Wembley."
So do we all Fabio, so do we all.

backwards, bloody-handed barbarians, the people who do this- and those who defend it- should be treated as such.
Five women were buried alive by their tribe in a mass honour killing prompted by their wish to choose their own husbands.
The victims, who included three teenagers, were abducted at gunpoint, beaten and shot before being thrown into a ditch.
They were still breathing as their bodies were covered with rocks and mud, according to media reports and human rights activists.
As to the defenders of this crap,
A Pakistani lawmaker provoked outrage by defending men from the Baluch tribe who had carried out the killings.
Israr Ullah Zehri told stunned members of Pakistan's parliament: 'These are centuries-old traditions and I will continue to defend them,'
'Only those who indulge in immoral acts should be afraid.'
He claimed the tribal traditions helped stop obscenity - and then asked fellow lawmakers not to make a big fuss about it.
Mr. Zehri & Co. should be introduced to the attitude of Gen. Napier toward the murder of women:
"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."

Last night my hubby and I were invited to attend a seminar at the University of Manitoba, presented by HOUSING & STUDENT LIFE. Normally the obstacle of getting a sitter at short notice makes me wave my hand and say 'thanks, but sorry'. But when I heard who was speaking I really wanted to go, from a personal and professional point of view.
I'm stripping this from the Student Life Page linked at the top.
"VIVEN Winnipeg
For the first time in Canada, survivors of the 1972 Andes plane crash will share their story of survival and lessons learned from their 72-day ordeal in the mountains. Hosted by the Office of Student Life, Jose "Coche" Luis Inciarte and Gustavo Zerbino will engage audiences with their dramatic account of the event, the decisions they were forced to make, and the inspiration that kept them alive.
On Friday, October 13th 1972, Flight 571 with five crew and forty passengers crashed into the Andes Mountain range. After ten days, the survivors heard by radio that the search had been called off. On December 22nd 1972, the world finds out that despite seemingly insurmountable challenges, 16 individuals had defied the odds and were found alive.
A deeply moving and hope-instilling story of survival, motivation, and the power of the human spirit."
So, my thoughts and impressions...Firstly, their voices surprised me. Coche has a voice the depth of a gravel pit. Gustavo's is higher-pitched, more strained (like someone has recently tried to strangle him). Coche had this warm chuckle and Gustavo had a ramrod posture, hawk-like nose and unflinching gaze. I can see why he's President of the Uruguayan Rugby Union.
They told the story of the crash and how they'd had to stay the night unexpectedly in Argentina due to bad weather. The didn't eat there because it was expensive and they didn't have much money. So they got on the plane already hungry. I bet they regretted that decision. The pilot hadn't been sure about flying over the Andes because of the weather forecast. They persuaded him. I bet they regretted that decision too. The beauty of hindsight is 20/20 vision.
Although maybe they didn't regret those decisions--because it was a waste of time and energy. The main message of the talk was not about the terrible things that happened but about the way they overcame the problems by (after getting over the initial visceral shock of seeing their friends dead around them) dealing with the problems one day at a time. They helped one another. They lived very much in the moment and dealt with one problem at a time with the goal (after hearing the search was called off after 10 days) of walking out of the endless array of snow capped peaks.
They defrosted a little water each day, enough to ease their thirst. And eventually, when they were literally starving to death, they began to discuss one of the greatest taboos. Eating human flesh.
There was nothing there except ice, snow and rock. They made the decision as a group, and not until they ALL agreed did they try and eat the flesh of their friends. 'Bodies without souls' Coche kept saying, as if to remind himself and us of how they talked themselves into doing the only thing that would keep them alive. He described building up the nerve to cut into the frozen flesh. Described how, even after doing that, it took a whole new resolve to place the hard-won meat inside his mouth. Another resolve to force his teeth to chew, Another long drawn out moment of courage and inner strength to force the meat down his throat and not retch and gag on the precious meal.
I'm a big believer in survival. It must be a species thing. Maybe I should apologize in advance to my fellow man because if there was no other way I'd do it too.
It felt odd to stare into the faces of these men who had stepped over the bounds of modern civilization. I felt a little shiver. A little knock on the door of my soul. There's a reason it's a taboo. It touches us to our fundamental core. I think most of us hope we never get into these situations, but if we did, we'd pray for the same strength these survivors had.
I didn't know anything about Uruguay--I'd assumed they were used to mountains and cold, but not so. Uruguay is a place like Manitoba, minus winter. A temperate flat land, the highest hill about 500 m. They ended up at 4800 m on a snow-capped peak, in their summer clothes and leather shoes. They crashed, and shortly afterward the sun dropped and they plummeted into -40C temperatures.
I am intimate with that temperature. I know what it does to exposed skin.
They planned and plotted and made the gear two of them would need to walk out. Sunglasses, rucksack, boots, gloves. They made it out of the wreckage. Two men set off into the soaring jagged peaks of the Andes with no maps, no idea where they were going or how to get there. Coche, one of the 17 left behind to wait it out on the mountain, said he'd picked out a day to die. (I think he said the 24th December). The rescue helicopters arrived on the 22nd Dec, after 72 days on that mountain.
Gustavo spoke about the things they'd found on the mountain. God. They saw his spirit. Felt him. They found Love (man-love was the rather wonderful expression). Love for their friends, their families. They found Joy in everything. They lived to see their Family. They discovered what was important and that was Family.
And when they came out of the mountains they told the world everything was 'Perfect', these men who'd been forced on a survival battle of biblical proportions.
That's when Gustavo gave us a lecture on 'Complaining being Optional'. I think he's more a Nike sort of dude :)
Just Do It.
As someone who enjoys venting I didn't agree completely ;) I like to have a good moan about some stuff, but it did make me stop and think. Maybe I do need to find more of my JOY, maybe I need to love my FAMILY more, and maybe I need to LOVE people more, even strangers. These are all ideals I live with daily--I'm a nice person but no doormat. But I can try harder. Do better, feel the smile in my heart as I'm doing it.
Gustavo was right about one thing--worrying achieves nothing.
I was honored to be in their company. They made inappropriate non-PC jokes and who's going to tell them not to? Good for them. They earned every breath they take. Every word they speak. They bicker like true friends who've been to hell and back and found Heaven along the way.
Bravo and thanks to everyone involved in organizing this talk.

Ubaldo was at ease with his pace while Gardner was at bat, then Cano came to bat took his time stepping into the box and continued to step out to re-adjust his batting gloves all the while Ubaldo was toeing the rubber waiting. I remember thinking this was the case last year too, that when Ubaldo was at his best, he was pitching at a pace he seemed comfortable,once they slow him down he seems to be lost. I cant figure him out and now that Terry has reshuffled his start, I get to see him pitch against Boston, another team that takes their time getting into the batters box. Although there isnt anything impressive about Myers to this point,it could have been worse. Edwin Jackson is not lighting it up going 0-2 with a 5.73 ERA and 52 million dollar contract. Or Dan Haren who is 1-1 with a 9.00 ERA and 13 million dollar one year deal. Other than Grienke there really wasnt a free agent pitcher that was out there that didnt come with question marks. I was hoping Myers would just give us some innings as Byrd did in his time here. I agree with you, I believe once he re-adjust to the starting role he will be fine. hawk1228https://firstname.lastname@example.com
