Allmendinger to run Grand Prix of Long Beach for Penske
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Penske Racing will pay out of its own pocket to take AJ Allmendinger to Long Beach for more seat time before the Indianapolis 500.
Allmendinger will make his IndyCar Series debut on Sunday at Barber Motorsports Park, which was initially his only scheduled race before next month's Indy 500. Series sponsor Izod signed on to help Allmendinger at Barber and Indianapolis, but team owner Roger Penske had no other funding secured for this season.
ALLMENDINGER:Taking small steps in IndyCar
BARBER:Hunter-Reay grabs pole for Sunday's race
Penske team President Tim Cindric said Saturday the organization is committed to getting Allmendinger ready for the 500, and felt bringing him to Long Beach was in everyone's best interest. Allmendinger ran three races at Long Beach in Champ Car, and his best finish was eighth in 2005.
"As the emotions get into it, and Roger's commitment to the organization, we don't want to go into Indianapolis any less prepared than what we can be," Cindric said. "AJ has continued to gel with the team and we felt like it was worth the investment for him to run somewhere where he's already run."
Cindric said the team is not currently considering bringing Allmendinger to Brazil, the final race before team's report to Indianapolis Motor Speedway for preparations for the May 26 race.
Allmendinger was fired by Penske last summer after failing a random NASCAR drug test, but the team owner stayed in contact with the driver while he completed the "Road to Recovery" program required for reinstatement. Cleared in September to race again, Penske worked on a plan to get Allmendinger into his IndyCar program.
PENSKE:Sticks by his drivers through it all
Allmendinger has not run in an open-wheel series since 2006, his final season in Champ Car. He moved full-time to NASCAR the next season, and has not found that moving back into an Indy car is not as seamless as riding a bike.
And, because he's never before raced at Barber, Cindric felt Sunday's race wasn't enough of a warm-up to get him properly prepared for Indy.
"If you look at here, this is a whole different place for him, and the amount of experience you need to find that extra couple tenths is a lot different than maybe a place like Long Beach where he's comfortable and knows the place, and it's just a matter of learning the car," Cindric said. "He's learning the car here and he's learning the track, so it's a bit difficult."
Allmendinger, who is slowly getting more comfortable in the car this weekend at Barber, isn't asking any questions about Penske's decision to bring him to Long Beach and this opportunity to drive again for the organization.
"It's just Roger Penske — I've said so much about him, and everything I've said is probably the biggest understatement," Allmendinger said Saturday morning. "I just feel fortunate. I feel lucky to have a guy like that care about me so much. I'm not going to ask him why because I don't want the real answer — I'm not going to make him question his own mind. But I just feel very, very lucky."
He was also buoyed by the data sheets after Friday and Saturday practices that showed there are places on the 17-turn, 2.38-mile permanent road course where Allmendinger can hold his own with Penske teammates Helio Castroneves and Will Power. Castroneves and Power are the only two drivers to visit Victory Lane in IndyCar's three previous trips to the Alabama course.
Cindric said Allmendinger is actually better than the other two Penske drivers in spots on the track, but Allmendinger played that down.
"There's a couple that I am at least close and I can help the guys and that makes me feel good," he said. "I don't want to be the charity case where they are like 'Oh, we've got to help AJ get fast.' I want to be part of this team and bring something, at least try to help these guys.
"I try to help Will and Helio a little, and even though they are helping me more than I am helping them, at least I feel like I am bringing a little bit."

Mark Byrnes is a senior associate editor at CityLab who writes about design and architecture.
Next Friday, the Baltimore Orioles will start their season at home exactly 20 years to the day Oriole Park at Camden Yards first opened.
With a 19th century warehouse for a backdrop, a pedestrian walkway that respects the pre-existing street grid, and exposed, dark green painted steel beams, Camden Yards instantly became the model for the perfect urban ballpark.
The success of it gave its architects, HOK Sport (now known as Populous) a steady stream of stadium work for years to come. Camden Yards was the central influence of nearly every new and renovated baseball stadium that followed.
The retro style quickly split into two schools; one, like Camden Yards, that strictly embraced classical design elements and the other that used more progressive forms (i.e. curtain walls, retractable roofs) while still implementing postmodern idiosyncrasies.
The historical references and unique site configuration that makes Camden Yards successful was eventually re-imagined in other cities through forcibly quirky stadiums surrounded by seas of parking. The best example of that, and what fittingly could be the last retro-classic ballpark, would be Citi Field. Just months after its opening in 2009, Mark Lamister from Metropolis Magazine had this to say:
"It's just so contrived," says Jay Jaffe, a writer for Baseball Prospectus. "It drives me crazy." The dimensions of the classic ballparks on which the Populous stadiums are modeled (such as Ebbets Field) were the product of their constrained urban lots. But Citi Field was built in the middle of a parking lot. And therein lies the strange paradox of the Populous stadiums: though they are painstakingly manufactured to appear idiosyncratic, the willfulness of their design is inescapable; and now that there are nearly 20 of them around the league, their heterogeneity has come to seem altogether homogenous.
The more modern half of the movement, meanwhile, has pushed along to an almost unrecognizable point. Since the Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati opened in 2003 with its contemporary, glass-wrapped facade, newer stadiums are more willing to embrace less familiar forms.
Nationals Park built off of Cincinnati's design direction 5 years later and in 2010, Target Field followed suit in Minneapolis. Similar to Cincinnati and D.C, the classical interior still feels familiar but its complex and dramatic exterior gives it arguably the edgiest appearance of any MLB stadium.
The anti-Camden trend takes its next step when Marlins Park officially debuts next Wednesday. Similar in form to the spaceship and entertainment palace known as Cowboys Stadium, Miami's new facility moves baseball stadium design even further from the nostalgia-drenched movement.
The retro craze appears to be over but that does not tarnish the significance of the movement. We assembled a slideshow to look back on all the MLB stadiums to debut since Baltimore's, most of which are strongly influenced by the Camden Yards school of design:

PLAIN CITY, Ohio - The State Highway Patrol says Natividad de Jesus Hernandez didn't buckle in his 4-year-old son yesterday before the boy opened a door and fell to his death. Hernandez was charged late last night with leaving the scene of a traffic crash, a third-degree felony. He was in Marysville Municipal Court this morning for an arraignment and bond was set at $500,000.
PLAIN CITY, Ohio � Natividad de Jesus Hernandez pulled his van onto the gravel drive of the under-construction house yesterday in hopes of finding some scrap material that he could sell.
Whether he found any was unclear, but what he lost was priceless.
The State Highway Patrol says Hernandez didn�t buckle in his 4-year-old son, Angel Gustbabo Hernandez, before he eased his Chevrolet Venture back onto Brock Road. And as the van headed northbound about 11 a.m., just a few feet from the new gravel driveway, the little boy grabbed the handle of the sliding door and opened it, authorities say.
Angel tumbled out and fell to the road. The van then hit him, killing him.
That stretch of Brock Road, just off Industrial Parkway in Jerome Township, has a row of seven houses in various stages of construction. One nearby worker heard the commotion and another saw what happened. Together they called 911.
In that recording, the caller tells the 911 dispatcher that a boy has been hit and a man who appeared to be his father was �holding him pretty tight.� He tells the dispatcher that there was no point in CPR because it was clear the boy was already gone.
Scott Anspach, a Union County deputy sheriff who was first on the scene, is a trained paramedic. Knowing only that a child had been hit, Anspach and the other first responders saw a man cradling the boy and they grabbed and whisked him away to a waiting ambulance to try, in vain, to save him.
In the ensuing chaos, Hernandez, 30, of Columbus, jumped back into his van and left, patrol Lt. Molly Clemens said.
At first, authorities had no idea who the child was or who they were looking for. They issued a warning for everyone to be on the lookout for the minivan, described only as a red or maroon mid-1990s Oldsmobile.
The patrol told OhioHealth Dublin Methodist Hospital, where Angel had been taken and was later pronounced dead, to alert them if any relatives showed up. Within an hour or so, a hospital employee called to say the father was there, patrol Sgt. Ty Skaggs said.
Patrol investigators, troopers and Clemens went to Dublin Methodist and interviewed Hernandez, who told them what happened, Skaggs said.
Clemens said Hernandez, who doesn�t speak English very well, said he left because he was confused, that the paramedics had taken his son and he didn�t know what was happening or what he was supposed to do.
A dash-cam video from the sheriff's department shows Hernandez waiting for a few moments after the ambulance carrying his son speeds away, then he gets back into his van and takes off in the same direction as the ambulance.
Hernandez, of 755 Stelzer Rd., was charged late last night with leaving the scene of a traffic crash, a third-degree felony.
He is being held at the Tri-County Regional Jail in Mechanicsburg.
He was in Marysville Municipal Court this morning for an arraignment and bond was set at $500,000 but the hearing was continued until Monday because the court needs to make arrangements for a translator before anything else can proceed.
�These things,� Clemens said, �are always tragic.�
Ohio expanded its child-safety laws in 2009 to require that children younger than 4 years old or less than 40 pounds must use a child-safety seat. Children 4 to 7 who are less than 57 inches tall must use a booster seat.
Clemens said the investigation will continue for some time. There were other passengers in the van, the patrol said, and Clemens said they are still sorting out the relationships. WBNS-TV (Channel 10) reported that some were children.
A few of the construction workers at the houses along Brock Road didn�t want to talk to reporters yesterday. Clemens, though, said the witnesses were cooperative and that everyone, especially the first responders, was deeply affected by what happened.

In-Flight Phone Etiquette: Experts Offer Suggestions
If cellphone calling comes to airplanes, it is likely to be the last call for manners.
The prospect is still down the road a bit, and a good percentage of the population can be counted on to be polite. But etiquette experts who already are fuming over the proliferation of digital rudeness aren't optimistic.

Marriage records are a favorite source of information among genealogists. Most counties in western Kentucky have marriage records back to the formation of the counties. That isn't to say the records are complete, because surely some records have disappeared or disintegrated through the years.
Becoming man and wife in early Kentucky occurred only after several requirements had been met. The first thing was to sign a bond at the county clerk's office at the county courthouse. This bond was a formal binding agreement that all marriage laws would be obeyed and that there was no legal impediment to a marriage between the couple. The sum of money listed on the bond was not paid unless it was found that the couple was not free to marry. The bride did not have to go with the bridegroom to obtain the marriage bond, but a surety, or bondsman, did go along to sign the bond with the bridegroom. Sometimes the bondsman was a relative or friend of either member of the contracting party, but not always.
When the bond was signed, the county clerk issued a marriage license, which was to be taken to any person legally authorized to perform marriages within the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The marriage license could be issued in one county and the wedding performed in another county, as long as it was all done within the boundaries of Kentucky. The license was not valid in another state. As a rule, though, the marriage usually occurred in the bride's home county.
In early Kentucky, if either the bride or bridegroom was under the legal marrying age of 21, a parent or guardian had to give consent for the license to be issued. If the bride was of age, it was not uncommon for her to write a little consent note and send it with the bridegroom when he signed the bond. If there is no consent note and you are sure one party was a minor, look at the name of the surety or bondsman. Could a parent of the bride or bridegroom have been present when the bond was signed and perhaps gave verbal consent for the license to be issued?
Once the marriage license was in hand, the bridegroom and bride were ready to stand before a minister, justice of the peace or even the county clerk and say their vows. Whoever officiated at the wedding was supposed to sign the license or write a note, giving the names of the couple and the date of the marriage, and return it to the county clerk's office. There the information was to be recorded in the Marriage Register. Inclement weather, long distances to the courthouse and procrastination may have delayed or prevented the license from being returned. If you don't find a returned license or an entry in the Marriage Register, check marriage records of neighboring counties.
Early Kentucky marriage bonds rarely contained personal information, but later on you will find the exact ages of the couple and their birthplaces and residences. Sometimes the birthplaces of their parents will also be listed. The time period when this additional information first appeared in the marriage bond books varies from county to county. It wasn't until November 1898 that the additional information was listed in Crittenden County, while Caldwell County marriage bonds contain the additional information before 1860.

"Only Keith Oatley could have written a book of this type--a scholarly treatise on emotions that reads like a novel. With erudition and verve he contextualizes the scientific study of the emotions both in linguistic history and in the social context of life. The examples and literary case studies come fast and furious, but the book never overwhelms. It is a fast read but the ideas and themes linger to be savoured long after one is through." Keith E. Stanovich, University of Toronto and author of The Robot's Rebellion: Finding Meaning in the Age of Darwin
"In this short history, Keith Oatley captures the current excitement of the ongoing 'Affect Revolution' and its historical antecedents. As psychologists seek to decipher the foundations of the many emotional values of animate existence, they should not forget the many historical roots from which the current blossoming of research is emerging. This gem helps put the field in perspective." Jaak Panksepp, Bowling Green State University and author of Affective Neuroscience
"There are dozens of books on emotions these days, but none like Oatley's new work. This original, wide-ranging, erudite, yet accessible romp through the centuries of thought and feeling about emotion as encountered in literature, philosophy, religion, politics, history and anthropology, is a tour de force. A consummate work by one of the leaders in the field of emotions research, it is not only a scholarly work of tremendous breadth, but a literary achievement in its own right--Oatley is a master of the well-turned phrase and the work is rich in wry musings and penetrating insight." Carol Magai, Long Island University, Brooklyn Campus
"Oatley's beautifully written book comes out of his deep knowledge both of the history of thought and of the most up-to-date research in the science of emotions… a masterly introduction to philosophical and scientific thinking about the emotions in personal and social life. It's all done with Oatley's characteristic lucidity, his light touch, and his novelist's gift for vivid illustration. …this book will afford fresh insights and original perspectives to delight even seasoned scholars." Ronnie de Sousa, University of Toronto
"An extraordinarily erudite and well written book about all aspects of the emotions written by a leading cognitive psychologist. It ranges through evolutionary origins, emotional development (including EQ) and social aspects of emotions as reflected in both history and literature. References include the Brownings, Keats, Marcus Aurelius and Shakespeare while among the themes treated are emotions and the brain, emotional disorders and psychopharmacology. " The Scientific and Meidical Network
- investigates the history of emotions across cultures as well as the evolutionary history of emotions and of emotional development across an individual's life span
- Oatley examines key topics such as emotional intelligence, emotion and the brain, and emotional disorders in clear and accessible language
- interweaves three themes throughout: the changes that emotions have undergone from the past to the present, the extent to which we are able to control our emotions, and the ways in which emotions help us discern the deeper layers of ourselves and our relationships

Miley Cyrus claims she is still engaged to Liam Hemsworth, but that didn't stop the singer from making out with a midget dressed as a baby Wednesday night.
Cyrus went in for a sloppy smooch while partying at Beacher's Madhouse — a Hollywood nightclub full of circus-like acts.
Perez Hilton snapped a pic of the hardcore make out session and posted it to his Twitter account, but it has since been removed.
Luckily, plenty of outlets were able to grab a screen shot of the frightening image:
The baby mask was made by Landon Meier, the same man who created the Walter White mask "Breaking Bad" actor Bryan Cranston wore around San Diego Comic-Con.

Baltimore — The U.S. bishops began formal consideration of their first new document in 30 years on preaching Monday, the first day of their annual fall general assembly in Baltimore.
The proposed document, "Preaching the Mystery of Faith: The Sunday Homily," encourages preachers to connect the Sunday homily with people's daily lives.
It was prepared by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' Committee on Clergy, Consecrated Life and Vocations, chaired by Archbishop Robert J. Carlson of St. Louis, with subsequent review and comment by eight other USCCB committees.
In formally introducing the proposed document Monday, Carlson said it aimed for a "pastorally sensitive tone" so that it could build upon a strong theological foundation for the ministry of preaching." He added, "It also makes a strong case for linking the homily to the Sunday liturgy."
Preaching needs to be done "more effectively in the context of the new evangelization," he said. "Our people hunger for better preaching, preaching that would help them rediscover their faith."

"The homily is intended to establish a 'dialogue' between the sacred biblical text and the Christian life of the hearer," the proposed document says.
"Preachers should be aware, in an appropriate way, of what their people are watching on television, what kind of music they are listening to, which websites they find appealing, and which films they find compelling," it adds. "References to the most popular cultural expressions -- which at times can be surprisingly replete with religious motifs -- can be an effective way to engage the interest of those on the edge of faith."
The intent to write a new document first surfaced six years ago as the silver anniversary neared of the U.S. bishops' last preaching document, "Fulfilled in Your Hearing."
The work of drafting "Preaching the Mystery of Faith" took place over the past year and a half after work was approved on such a document at the bishops' spring 2011 meeting in Bellevue, Wash., near Seattle. New traction on the document came after Pope Benedict XVI issued the apostolic exhortation "Verbum Domini" ("The Word of the Lord") two years ago, and "Preaching the Mystery of Faith," according to Archbishop Carlson, is rooted in "Verbum Domini."
"Many Catholics, for a variety of reasons, seem either indifferent to or disaffected with the church and her teaching. We know that the general social context in the United States has a strong emphasis on the individual and individual choice, which often eclipses the sense of community or of the common good that is essential to Christian life," the proposed document says. "Sadly, too, we must confess that the sexual abuse crisis has wounded the church, and this scandal has led some Catholics to lose heart and leave the church."
It adds, "The homilist of today must realize that he is addressing a congregation that is more culturally diverse than previously, one that is profoundly affected by the surrounding secular context and, in many instances, inadequately catechized."
"Virtually every homily preached during the liturgy should make some connection between the Scriptures just heard and the Eucharist about to be celebrated," it says.
Before preaching, "the homilist may need to wrestle for a while with the challenging aspects of the biblical Word, searching for ways it could connect to ordinary experience and how it might be proclaimed to the congregation the homilist serves," it says.
"Then comes the process of drafting the homily in a thoughtful manner, finding the right words, moving examples, and apt metaphors that will bring home to the listener the beauty and truth of the Scripture -- and then reviewing and revising the text of the homily until it is ready," it continues. "Good homilists often practice their homily ahead of time, hearing how it sounds out loud and seeking to preach it with passion and strength."
The draft of "Preaching the Mystery of Faith" says: "The ultimate goal of proclaiming the Gospel is to lead people into a loving and intimate relationship with the Lord, a relationship that forms the character of their persons and guides them in living out their faith. ... An effective homily would show the faithful just how much the Son of God loved them in taking our human flesh upon himself."

SMURFS WARS - Full Story
The story starts after the Smurfs invasion of Gargamel's Castle. They finally captured and killed him, as well as his cat Azrael. As a trophy, the cat's preserved body was put at the center of the village's main square, as a reminder of Dark Times forever gone, or so they thought...
There was a period of peace and prosperity, everything went well until a disease took over the weakened body of Papa Smurf. Shortly before he died, Papa asked Hefty, the strongest Smurf, to take care of his children in the hopes that they never suffer from the lack of anything in his absence. Hefty, now living with Smurfette, his fiance, accepted this responsibility and, even with very little experience, lead his people with great wisdom. What he didn't know was that envy was always growing in the heart of Brainy Smurf. He, with his thick glasses, and enormous intelligence was the new leader's adviser and suffered deeply by the unrequited love of the only girl in the tribe: Smurfette. Also, he felt that he should be the new leader. After all he was the smartest Smurf and second-in-command behind Papa Smurf.
Jealous and envious, Brainy breaks away from Hefty and starts to preach a new ideal for his brothers: a Democracy! Educated and persuasive, he convince nearly half of the village with his revolutionary ideas. The Smurfs are now divided into two groups: those who support the Hefty centralized regime, and those who defend the democratic ideals of Brainy. Gradually, that which was only a debate heated on ideologies becomes a serious conflict. With tensions running high, a Civil War is declared and Brainy and his followers are expelled from the village and forced to live in the forest. Exiled, humiliated and angry, Brainy plots his revenge against Hefty. Knowing that Hefty and Smurfette had never had sex because they are not married, he orders a surprise attack at the village under a cold and rainy night.
Silently sneaking into town from the other side, Brainy enters Smurfette's tent, but she doesn't recognize him. Without his glasses and with a fake heart tattoo in his arm, he looks exactly like Hefty. Smurfette realizes something is wrong since the battle is raging outside of the tent, but her lover simply stands there, starring at her. Everything happens very fast, and she doesn't understand why he attacks and rapes her so fiercely and violently. Had the war turned Hefty into a monster? It wasn't suppose to be like this. She wants to explode, to cry, to die. Her screams aren't heard by anyone during the battle. After Brainy's silent escape, Hefty returns wounded and tired, says nothing and falls to bed completely oblivious to the pain on Smurfette's face.
Without a word about that horrible night, Hefty goes. And Smurfette, thinking that her lover has gone crazy or worse, thinking she's been shown a side of his soul that she wouldn't dare imagine, flees from the village requesting asylum from her former brother and enemy: Brainy. Assuming the role of protector he receives her with great affection and respect, making her all the necessary arrangements to stay close to him.
Everything goes as planned by Brainy. With his beloved by his side and his army's reinvigorated moral by successive victories over the village, the war's end seems closer every day.
Hefty, now an experienced warrior, feels also ashamed and confused for not keeping the promise made to Papa Smurf. With his heart flooded by hate and moved only by revenge he leads his men to the bloodiest battle of the Smurf's history. He could never forgive those who betrayed him. Not his brother and not even Smurfette, who was to become his wife ... Fear, despair, suffering and blood on his Smurf's hands was definitely not what Papa Smurf hoped for his children ...
Now I just have to get rich, buy the Copyrights and spend a year or two drawing the book.

Rated 5 out of 5 by LePotager from My Favorite for Making Preserves This is a wonderful tool, especially if you are as much a fanatic as I am about making jams, jellies, conserves, etc. The fruit cooks evenly, no hotspots, no sticking, deep enough so there are no splatters at full boil. Love the tapered shape and the handle. Can't say enough about this pan. If you can, you need this!Date published: 2016-09-12Rated 5 out of 5 by Titustwohomemaker from Beautiful and functional This pot is so well made, it is a joy to use. Heavy construction, especially the base so it does not scorch the contents. Perfect for simmering at just the right temp for extended periods without burning. Pours easily due to the slight spout and the heavy duty handles. The handle will stay in a couple positions for convenience and safety. Love that it has clear markings for how many pints it is holding. Makes estimating your canning jars needed a breeze. Very easy to clean. Beautiful to look at and well worth the money.Date published: 2015-09-21Rated 5 out of 5 by WannabeFarms from Love love love it! Such a pleasure to use! Love its shape and markings and it is a breeze to clean.Date published: 2015-07-07Rated 4 out of 5 by Spacemaker from Just Missed 5 Stars I didn't realize the inside markings denoted IMPERIAL PINTS, QUARTS., ETC. I think WS could have done a better job of pointing that out or emphasizing that in the written description of this. That being said, I just made this season's 1st batch of jam in my new Kilner jam pot and its the perfect size plus cleans up easier than any else I own. I'm looking forward to canning season this year - this is the perfect size pan.Date published: 2015-06-16Rated 5 out of 5 by newtocanning from Great Pan! I am a newbie to canning, started last year. I recieved this as a gift and just gave my mother one for Christmas. I love it! It seems to heat very quickly and evenly. The handles don't get too hot to touch and are a nice feature to get the last remains out of the pan. I have recommened this to many friends who can. The measurements on the inside are great so you know roughly how many jars to have ready. The price is high but with a coupon and free shipping it's not horrible.Date published: 2015-01-16Rated 5 out of 5 by Judy1368 from Kilner Stainless Steel Jam Pan I found this pan to be a must in my kitchen. Even though it is expensive, it is extremely durable, love that in between batches it cleans up quick and easy. It has measurements inside the pan for quick reference. The stainless steel is of high quality and would be a wonderful gift for someone that does a lot of canning as well as an heirloom to pass down to someone in your family.Date published: 2014-10-28Rated 4 out of 5 by crumbhaven from Be very careful the measurements engraved on this pan appear to be very useful--at first glance, the pint increments appear to show you exactly how much is in the pan so you can tell whether you have the appropriate liquid, how many jars you might need etc. WRONG! the measurements are imperial pints, which are larger than US pints. Do not rely on these measures! Otherwise, the pan is excellent--heavy bottomed, conducts heat well, but not too heavy to lift. The handle design makes pouring the last bits very easy. Wish I could afford a second one!!Date published: 2014-09-11Rated 5 out of 5 by GrannyMa from TERRIFIC KETTLE!!!!! I have two and have given three away for gifts. The kettle not only is easy to use, it also has pint markings stamped on the inside. I use mine for jelly making, stock making and tomatoes and clean-up is a breeze. It is a perfect weight and the handle on the back is very useful/no spilling because the pan moved. I bought my first one about 5 years ago and I get tired before the kettle does! Still looks brand new. I know it can go in the dishwasher, but I still wash mine by hand. I guess I'm afraid it will get dull looking using the dishwasher. Love it, love it love it!!!!Date published: 2014-08-29
Would love to use this as a kitchen scrap and compost collector...if it had a lid. Is there a suitable lid available? Thanks.Hi Anthony, Sorry, there is not a lid for this jam pan.Date published: 2019-09-23

Burkina Faso, which has a population of around 14 million, poses significant challenges for the fight against poverty and injustice. About 30% of the population lives on less than 1 dollar a day.
The discovery of important mineral reserves gives Burkina Faso the chance to make significant advances in the fight against poverty. To achieve this, the development of the rural population – 80% of the total – will have to be the priority of the Burkina Faso government, in order to improve and protect their livelihoods and to guarantee their access to basic social services, such as health and education.
Oxfam in Burkina Faso
Oxfam has been working in Burkina Faso since the 1970s. In Burkina Faso, we work with civil society to achieve the following objectives:
- Increase farmers' incomes by improving production, and by helping to restructure and market cereals, rice, fruit and cotton.
- Increase the capacity of communities to avoid and/or address the consequences of climate change on their livelihoods.
- Reinforce the advocacy capacity of civil society to ensure that the government guarantees access to basic social services.
- Contribute to the building and reinforcement of civil society, especially in rural communities, thereby increasing its capacity to take part in development programs (Burkina Faso is a target country for 'Grow', Oxfam's global campaign).
- Support the improvement of living conditions and the status of women and young people.
- Provide help and support in relation to food security and/or water and sanitation during humanitarian crises.
- Increase the capacity of the community to press the government of Burkina Faso for greater transparency in the mining and subsequent use of resources derived from extractive industries.

Dr. Drew Pinsky was asked a simple question: "As a father, what would you do?" His answer has created a media stir.
Friday night, KNBC reported the comments of Dr. Drew and was unable to get his response because he was in flight to Iowa. On Saturday, Dr. Drew responded to the media circus surrounding his latest comments to Lindsay Lohan's father.
An excerpt of Dr. Drew's blog on The Huffington Post:
I am not naïve about the treatment of addiction and I know well that some times any and all interventions are in vain. There are those professional who would argue that abstinence based interventions are unrealistic for severe addicts and physicians should pursue replacement or so called harm reduction therapies. But when I was asked as a father, if I were in Michael Lohan's position, what would I do to help my daughter, I am clear that I would go to any lengths to get her to and retain her in treatment. Bringing legal consequences to bear is often the only alternative. It would kill me but I would do it. Perhaps I surrendered my equanimity to a flight of journalistic excess by even suggesting that he plant drugs. But if I was in his position and I knew she was addicted (which I personally do not) and all else had failed, I suspect I would contemplate even this as a last resort.

Henry Darcy and His Law
The discoverer of Darcy's Law for flow in porous media.
Henry Darcy (1803 to 1858) invented the
modern style Pitot tube, was the first researcher to suspect the
existence of the boundary layer in fluid flow, contributed in
the development of the Darcy-Weisbach equation for pipe flow resistance,
made major contributions to open channel flow research and of
course developed Darcy's Law for flow in porous media. His Law
is a foundation stone for several fields of study including ground-water
hydrology, soil physics, and petroleum engineering.
These pages were put together to help others who have an interest in Darcy. Please email me if you find any errors, have additional information that can be posted, or if you use this material in class. Enjoy!

Barely 15 months after the brand was unveiled, Advantus announced early today that, at her request, it has released Margie Romney-Aslett from her contract to design The Girls Paperie product line for them.
The Girls Paperie debuted for Advantus at CHA Winter 2010. Romney-Aslett's vintage chic designs made the brand's seven lines a breakout success with strong showings at each CHA show.
The company says it has plenty of inventory of the brand's existing lines, and is working with Romney-Aslett and its customers to ensure what it calls "an orderly wind down of the line." The company will continue to take and ship orders for The Girls Paperie until it sells out its existing inventory.
"Advantus is sad to lose this product line; we felt it had great potential and the sales continued to grow. However, Margie requested to end her arrangement with Advantus due to matters unrelated to the arrangement, and we agreed to do this for her. We are working with Margie to ensure an orderly wind down of the line and apologize for the inconvenience to our customers," said Kevin Carpenter, President of Advantus, in explaining the reason behind the ending of the relationship.
Romney-Aslett also had positive things to say about the relationship: "I loved my time at Advantus. The people that I worked with there were amazing. This was a very hard decision for me but one I felt like for me and my family is the right thing to do."
Items from The Girls Paperie are currently in stock at Scrapbook.com, Two Peas In A Bucket, and Simon Says Stamp (among other stores) for consumers who'd like to stock up before the lines disappear.
Later in the day today, Romney-Aslett announced on her blog that she will be at CHA Summer 2011 with an as-yet-unnamed brand new company that she is involved in the founding of. Scrapbook Update has been told that Romney-Aslett will be debuting 8 new paper lines at the show.
In addition to her paper lines, Romney-Aslett also co-owns The Girls Loft kit club with her daughters, Megan and Brooke.

Any recomendations!!!
If you play something like Brain Age, you can excersize your brain. The general heuristic is do more, watch less. Doctors recommend at most two hours of screen time for youths per day (Computers Can Be a Real Pain). Just be sure that you take a break and do something else with your day.
Now that we've got the health issues out of the way, have you played anything like God of War ? Worth looking into.
Last edited by laserlight; 04-24-2007 at 02:51 PM. Reason: Removed remnant of off topic 'discussion'.
I'm 192 cm tall, sit about 10+ hours a day in front of the computer and only weight 85 kilo. I ride about 1 hour on my bike, eat healthy and keep active. And HELL, DO I PLAY A LOT !
I used to play Quake III 6-8 hours a day for 4 years, then I switched to WoW and kept playing until recently, beating every raid boss server first (if you've never played WoW you can't imagine how much work this involves) while at the same time programming and informing myself about new technologies and techniques.
This aside, at the moment the choice of great games sucks to say the least. There's like nothing good for the PC recently, the last "better" games were Rainbow Six: Vegas and Command & Conquer 3. At the moment I'm waiting for Hellgate: London, Loki and several MMORPG's. If I'd had a console, I'd probably play God of War 1&2, Shadow of the Colossus, Ninja Gaiden, Gears of War or wait for the PS3 games Lair and Heavenly Swords.
FYI: Deleted some rather off topic posts in this thread, editing one. Apologies to all those affected.

I think that falls under 'strategy', unless you play bullet chess or something, then it falls under 'mindless'.Chess? I love that too.

> then it falls under 'mindless'.
That's how some of us play all the time.
I like speedy chess. 2nd place in old High School tournament.
Unfortunately, I don't know what Prince of Persia is as I've never seen nor played it (nor interested in it). I'm only into classics and platformers (and occasional other genres) so I don't know much about modern games either. I do have some suggestions if you're into it.
Final Fantasy 7 - often said to be the best game ever. It's for the Playstation 1 and an RPG game. I especially like the story it has as well as the character customization and battles.
Sonic Mega Collection - has the first of the games of the Sonic series and numerous enhancements. The big downside is that you have to play the games dozens of times to unlock other games and it can take 2 to 3 hours of accessing the game, quitting, and repeating to unlock everything - I seriously hated that.
Super Monkey Ball 2 - a puzzle and arcade-like game where you roll a ball across platforms to reach the goal(s). It's a tough game and good for party-goers since there are numerous party games. It's also my favorite Gamecube game, played more than twice that of all my other Gamecube games, and my second-most studied in terms of game mechanics.
These are just my suggestions.
That's it - equipping materia to their weapon and armor. There's also stat boosters (the sources). I've maxed out four character's speed, luck, strength, and physical defense without the need for materia and gained 1.3 billion gil. I've played the game too, like 2 1/2 times. I'm also a fan of the series as it's what got me into the RPG genre (I've been a long time platformer fan).
I didn't know FF7 was available on the PC either.
> Final Fantasy 7 - often said to be the best game ever.
Only by people whose only exposure to games is jRPGs
I'm a console gamer mostly, have a 360, and PS2. Playing the 360 exlusively now, but am going to get some old games for ps2.
Final Fantasy Adventurers! Now that's a classic

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) mandated in June 2002 that large municipal water systems perform vulnerability assessments. Now that the assessments are complete, the systems are beginning to invest in security upgrades, increased security patrols, and capital improvement projects. According to ZweigWhite's report, "2003-2006 Municipal Water and Wastewater Market for Construction and Design Firms," the most significant opportunities for design and construction firms will be large municipal water and wastewater systems.
