Topic: Script/console with a plugin
So I am trying to use acts-as-taggable-on (http://github.com/mbleigh/acts-as-taggable-on/) and am having some issues. One problem is that I can't use the gem at all. I install it and configure it but when I try and run the server it complains that I don't have the gem. So I decided to install it as a plugin. It works fine in the context of the Rails app in a browser.
If I try and use script/console and check out the model that I used the acts_as_taggable_on on it freaks out and says the method does not exist. Why would a plugin not load in a console session?

Happy holidays from the Dispatch Librarians
The Columbus Dispatch - December 25, 2013 02:19 PM
Santa's elves (center
Steve Myers,
defensive back Neal Colzie,
tailback Elmer Lippert) are shown with Santa and the Coach.
In late December 1973, Santa Claus -- also known as Ohio State football player Jim Kregel -- made an appearance at a party in Pasadena, Calif.
Santa took Woody Hayes, right, by surprise when he asked him if he was having a good time. The coach answered "yes," and Santa said, "That sure is a switch."
The remark brought the house down.

The 1973 Buckeyes compiled a 10–0–1 record, including a win at the 1974 Rose Bowl, where OSU won 42–21 against USC.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Perfect VLM preparationIn full: The sun shone, the marshals were great, the course was quick, the crowds were abundant and cheered, the organisation was excellent, the medal was great, prizes for lots of categories and it attracted a good field of runners from sub 70 minute runners to get round beginners. Will definitely be back and an excellent day outDate of review: April 8, 2013
In short: Big City atmosphereIn full: I entered this as a build up race to VLM and a chance to realign my HM PB on the promise it was a quick course. Registration was easy although, as a member of a HM organising committee myself, I am aware of the costs involved in hosting such events and thought the cost expensive but on arrival you can see from the facilities that no corners have been cut and the costs are there for all to see - lots of toilets, a well set up race village, hire of the stadium, pre race literature, road closures etc etc. So although quite steep in price, I think it's good value.The course itself is OK - nothing to write home about. You do go through the centre but it can't be for more than a mile at tops then it's back out into dulls-ville.fair play to allt he marshals and spectators coming out in the horrendous conditions. Fair play to you and thank you.The finish in the stadium is a nice touch. The goody bag was really good I thought - some lovely treats inside to help get some much needed fuel back into the system! Easy exit to the bag drop, easy pick up and having the car park (i was in Blue) away from the stadium, made for an easy exit back on to the motorway.Overall, well organised, has a big city/event feel to it and a course for hunting down that PB. Would I do it again? Maybe. there are lots of other races like this in the UK and there wasn't anything really standout but a good race for the lead up to VLM.Date of review: March 19, 2013
In short: Fast PB course In full: Much much improved from the inaugural race last year. The rerouted course I thought worked well - although you run the same section twice, it doesn't quite feel like a 'lap'. As a front runner, I can't comment on the underpass bottleneck but cannot forsee how else they can safely deal with having to cross the busy Bath Road (A4).The course is quick and flat and scenery on the route, although not breathtaking, is better than most. Marshalls were fantastic and supportive along the whole course and there was much more public support this year too.Lack of goody bag and the same medal as last year (with different date) was a bit disappointing for the fee but guess most of it was spent on the road closures which were well organised and marshalled.Date of review: September 19, 2012
In short: I do like to be besides the seaside....In full: ...especially when organised like this.Lovely scenic route, really well organised by the Thanet Roadrunners. The marshalls thorughout the course were fantastic so thanks to them.Water distributed at decent intervals and in bottles too which was great.The course itself was challenging. The hills on the return leg of the out and back course drained the legs. One big plus of the out and back course is seeing the competitors running against you and the great support they gave.Finishers goody bag was great and as someone else has said, can't go wrong with an energy drink, nice medal and tech tshirt.Would definitely consider doing this again. Well done Thanet RoadrunnersDate of review: September 3, 2012
In short: Well organised HalfIn full: As above, a well organised half by the Dartford Harriers. Course is more than undulating in my opinion and was made wuite tough at times by the hot weather.Marshalls were friendly and encouraging but like other have said, could do with another water stop in the second half. Lovely medal at end and enjoyed the finish on the athletics track. Would I do it again? Yes due to the great and smooth organisationDate of review: July 24, 2012
In short: Lots of potentialIn full: Inaugural Maidenhead HM has lots of promise if issues at the start can be ironed out. Course is realtively flat but there is some rough off road and steps (!) which stops me grading it as top marks on PB potential. Good marshalls and logistics of road closures well handled. Disappointing 'goody bag' as there wasn't one - just a medal and a banana at end. Sure this will improve with timeDate of review: September 19, 2011
In short: Well organised club raceIn full: First time running here for me in beautiful village of hook norton. Good sized event - not too big not too small. Obv a fixture on a few club schedules this year. Undulating course both rural roads and village. well organised and a nice raceDate of review: September 19, 2011
In short: Excellent from arrival to the hobble homeIn full: This is a fantastically organised race by the Tunbridge Wells Harriers. From the easy online registration to the clear and informative race pack received in advance of the day, no stone is left unturned so you can focus on turning up and running.The race HQ is well equipped - changing rooms, plenty of toilets, lots of space to warm up and get ready, free bag drop and lots of clear signage!The race itself is tough - nice and scenic for the first 5-6 miles before hitting the infamous Spring Hill, which truly saps the legs. If i was a fan of gels, then I'm sure the free Gel table at the top of the hill would be welcomed! Lots of spectators on the route offering support and encouragement as well as free jelly babies too.Special mention must go the marshalls. Clear instructions, always a smiling face and lots of clapping and support - just what you need when your legs are shot!Post race is great too. After receiving your medal from Dame Kelly Holmes, you receive possibly the best finishing bag Ive ever seen. Lots of perfect post race fodder, technical tshirt, water and gels and a fantastic medal.a challenging course, amazing supporters, first class organisation - races dont get better than this.Date of review: February 28, 2011

Student Assistance Reform Initiative
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Andrew Telegdi Waterloo, ON
Mr. Speaker, seven national associations in the post-secondary education sector jointly proposed the student assistance reform initiative which, if enacted, would make higher education more accessible. I urge all members to study the proposal. As an active member of the caucus committee on post-secondary education, I applaud the groups involved in preparing and releasing this document.
Right now Canada's student loans can be a problem, not only for those trying to pay them off but also for those charged with trying to collect on defaulted loans. We can address this situation and acknowledge the realities faced by graduating students by establishing an income contingent loan repayment plan. This is especially relevant to those in the early stages of their careers after graduation.
Education is of vital national interest to Canada. When we invest in Canadians we strengthen our economy and improve our competitiveness in the global marketplace.
Team Canada
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Robert Bertrand Pontiac—Gatineau—Labelle, QC
Mr. Speaker, the LanSer company of Westmount, Quebec, was on the last trade mission led by our Prime Minister, and came back from Thailand with very good news for the future.
This company, which specializes in wireless communication equipment research and development, signed a letter of understanding with a view to setting up a joint enterprise with a Bangkok company.
LanSer already has a staff of 75. Thanks to this letter of understanding, it could soon be starting to market a wireless credit card payment system to meet the demand from financial institutions, merchants and consumers in Thailand. This bold project is estimated at $52 million.
This is another example of the extraordinary benefits and fallout for business and the economy in Quebec and in Canada resulting from the Team Canada missions.
Aéroports De Montréal
Statements By Members
February 14th, 1997 / 11:05 a.m.
Maurice Dumas Argenteuil—Papineau, QC
Mr. Speaker, last Wednesday, the Quebec Superior Court handed down an important decision prohibiting the transfer of international flights to Dorval. Forty-eight hours later, the Minister of Transport still did not wish to comment on the decision. Instability continues. As a result, the economy of Montreal and the Lower Laurentians has suffered, is suffering and will go on suffering.
But it would not have come to this if the federal government had listened to the Bloc Quebecois. A year ago, we asked the government to conduct public consultations quickly and make public all the studies done on this transfer.
The federal government, which got us into this mess, cannot now try to sidestep the issue and hide behind ADM. The decision brought to light the government's true colours. Instead of sitting back while the train, or should I say the plane, passes it by, it should be moving quickly to resolve this problem, which is largely of its own making.
Edward James
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
John English Kitchener, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a constituent in my riding of Kitchener, Mr. Edward James.
Yesterday, Mr. James had the honour of receiving the Prime Minister's award for teaching excellence in science, technology and mathematics. His dedication and enduring commitment to the teaching profession is truly admirable.
Mr. James was recognized for his particular attention devoted to the challenges facing young women interested in science. Among his many accomplishments, he organized a math and science program for young women at Eastwood Collegiate and helped prepared learning materials for the women inventors project.
His work to introduce more young women to science and encourage them along the way stretches back 10 years. This commitment has resulted in a significant number of women graduating with backgrounds in mathematics and science.
I wish to congratulate Mr. James for this special award. He is truly a leader in his community.
Liberal Party Nomination Process
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
John Duncan North Island—Powell River, BC
Mr. Speaker, in 1993 the Prime Minister overrode 15 Liberal associations to appoint pet candidates. This year the Prime Minister is again sanctioning pet candidates.
In Nepean the retiring MP has expressed her disgust. In Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke the Liberal Party banned Hec Cloutier from the party for five years in 1993 because he ran as an independent against the Liberal appointee. In Edmonton North national Liberal officials twisted the rules so that the PM's anointed candidate would be unchallenged. An executive has been excommunicated for their continued support for the incumbent ousted Liberal MP.
This should be no surprise. The Prime Minister ensured his own election victory in 1972 and 1974 by setting up a patsy as his PC opponent.
Canada-Take It To Heart
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Rey D. Pagtakhan Winnipeg North, MB
Mr. Speaker, we are in the midst of the "Canada-Take it to Heart" program, a week long celebration of our Canadian citizenship, symbols and heritage.
Tomorrow, February 15, we celebrate Canada flag day to remind us of the symbol of our national soul and to rededicate ourselves to the ideals that define our country. Let us take pride that the Canadian flag is respected and loved throughout the world.
On Monday, February 17, I will have the honour to participate in a Winnipeg celebration of the historic Fort Gary-Fort Edmonton Trail, a living reminder of the settlement of the three prairie provinces.
These commemorations are an opportunity to show pride in our country and to think about the things that make us unique: our symbols, our values and our heritage.
The better we know our country's past, the better we can envision the future with confidence.
Canada Post
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Bill Gilmour Comox—Alberni, BC
Mr. Speaker, the Canada Post mandate review completed last fall made a number of specific recommendations regarding the operation of Canada Post.
Upon release of the review the public works minister stated that Canada Post must operate with fairness, transparency, openness and accountability. Yet the minister still refuses to open the books of Canada Post, a crown corporation, to public scrutiny.
The minister promised she would table a report with proposals for Canada Post after the financial review was completed in January. That timeline has passed, yet Canadians have heard nothing from the minister.
The mandate review stated that the corporation is currently beyond any effective control by the government. None of the authorities entrusted with supervising Canada Post currently have the resources to provide the strong ongoing supervision needed to safeguard the public interest. Unfair competition and abusive practices continue unchecked every day.
Canada Post is a corporation in chaos. It is time for the minister to do her job, take responsibility for Canada Post and hold it accountable.
Nomination Meetings
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Mauril Bélanger Ottawa—Vanier, ON
Mr. Speaker, yesterday, nomination meetings were held in three ridings, namely my own, that of the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, and that of the hon. member for Brome-Missisquoi.
Yesterday the three of us celebrated the second anniversary of our 1995 byelection victories. On the same day two years later, we were chosen by the members of our respective associations to run in the next election as Liberal candidates.
I wish both my colleagues the best of luck in the upcoming election. I congratulate them on a job well done in the first two years as members of the Parliament of Canada.
Family Resource Centres
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Wayne Easter Malpeque, PE
Mr. Speaker, as we get closer to budget day I again call on the ministers involved to reconsider CAPC funding. The program is funded under the Minister of Health and funds family resource centres. It has proven to be very successful in terms of assisting families and individuals.
These family resource centres, seven of which are on Prince Edward Island, are a great success and are in great demand by many parents on Prince Edward Island. I believe they decrease dependency on government services and government personnel and set up a system where individuals support each other within a community of communities.
I call on the minister to reconsider funding.
Family Resource Centres
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
The Deputy Speaker
Before proceeding to oral questions, the hon. Minister of National Defence has a brief point of order.
Point Of Order
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
New Brunswick
Douglas Young Minister of National Defence and Minister of Veterans Affairs
Mr. Speaker, yesterday in question period I referred to a document. My understanding was that I was not allowed to table it during question period. I am certainly more than pleased to table it now for the benefit of members of the House.
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
Oral Question Period
11:15 a.m.
Gilles Duceppe Laurier—Sainte-Marie, QC
Mr. Speaker, there will be no objections to the tabling of a document from National Defence. For once, something is forthcoming and we are extremely pleased. One down, at least.
Today, in Quebec City, Montreal, Rimouski, Chicoutimi, Sept-Iles, Matane and Moncton, CBC audiences and staff are demonstrating to remind the government of its promise to provide the CBC with stable funding.
Another coalition, the Friends of Canadian Broadcasting, has pointed out that the government's $10 million to CBC radio fulfils only 3 per cent of its promises, while laying the CBC's independence open to question.
My question is to the government as a whole. How can the government explain that it has imposed cuts $14 million higher than what the Reform Party proposed in their taxpayers' budget? How can the government claim to be defending culture, when it has pulled $414 million from CBC and found millions for publicity schemes of all kinds, from kites to flags to who knows what?
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
Oral Question Period
11:15 a.m.
Don Boudria Minister for International Cooperation and Minister responsible for Francophonie
Mr. Speaker, the Government of Canada is committed, as the minister said again last week, to long term funding for the CBC. All departments of our government have undergone cuts, and the CBC is no exception.
The hon. member across the way knows very well that the CBC will be the only government agency to be exempt from cuts for the next five years, so its funding will be stable in the long term.
What is more, the CBC will receive some $900 million annually from the public purse. That is nothing to sneeze at. It is a considerable amount and one that is ensured for the long term, of course.
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
Oral Question Period
11:15 a.m.
Gilles Duceppe Laurier—Sainte-Marie, QC
Mr. Speaker, it seems to me that I heard that already sometime in 1993, regarding 1993-94. That is a recycled promise.
The Friends of Canadian Broadcasting; the mayor of Quebec City, Jean-Paul Lallier; Tony Manera, who resigned from the presidency of the CBC because of this government's policies; Pierre Juneau, another former CBC president; Margaret Atwood; Pierre Berton; Cardinal Jean-Claude Turcotte, and many others question the government's true intentions toward the CBC.
Why has the government opted to weaken an independent institution, and to transfer funds into agencies which are not answerable to government, such as the cable production fund?
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
Oral Question Period
11:15 a.m.
Don Boudria Minister for International Cooperation and Minister responsible for Francophonie
Mr. Speaker, when the hon. member claims that this fund is not answerable to government, he is surely aware that part of this fund will go to the CBC. He cannot be unaware of this. I believe that his accusation is totally off the mark.
Second, he is also surely aware that the government is committed, I repeat, to long term funding for the CBC, to the tune of some $900 million annually-$800 million in special credits, plus part of the fund-as I have just indicated.
Finally, the government has again just recently announced additional funding, over and above the amounts I have just referred to, for Radio Canada International.

Downtown panhandlers worry Pueblo merchants
They hold up cardboard signs at intersections — "Help a vet who lost his job" or "Need money for food."
Pueblo police officer Shelly Taylor understands that people hand over a dollar or coins to help someone in need. Panhandlers rely on that.
"One guy I've dealt with has been holding up that same 'Car broken down' sign for years now," Taylor explained. "And he lives on the South Side."
Panhandling and vagrancy are on the rise in Pueblo and Taylor confirmed that to an audience of Downtown merchants Tuesday night. But she wanted to underline a few truths she's learned in 14 years as a police officer.
Don't give money to panhandlers. Most aren't homeless and most homeless people don't panhandle, she said.
A good number of the panhandlers you see on the streets live here, she said. She knows them by name.
"If you truly want to help, give money to organizations that provide shelter, food and services for the homeless. Most panhandlers are only going to spend the money on alcohol or drugs."
But Downtown merchants are increasingly concerned about the panhandlers who are becoming more aggressive.
"They stand out in our parking lot, waiting as guests get their luggage out of their cars," a Downtown hotel worker told Taylor. "That scares people."
Pueblo doesn't have a no-panhandling law. What police do enforce are no-loitering and no-trespassing ordinances.
Some merchants said City Council ought to consider a no-begging law but police Capt. Troy Davenport warned those have been struck down by the courts.
Taylor said merchants should call police when there is an aggressive panhandler bothering customers. Passive begging, with a sign on a corner, still is loitering and illegal, but usually not dangerous.
"But if someone is getting aggressive, blocking people's paths or tapping them on the shoulder to ask for money, call us," she advised. "That's something we need to stop immediately."

N.Y. Power Authority Approves Low-Cost Power Allocations for 53 New Western New York Jobs
Michael Saltzman
September 20, 2005
ALBANY—The New York Power Authority (NYPA) Trustees Tuesday approved new low-cost power allocations from the Niagara Power Project for two Western New York companies in return for commitments to create 53 new jobs.
Invitrogen Corp. a pharmaceutical and biotech company in Grand Island, and American Axle & Manufacturing, Inc., in Cheektowaga are undergoing multimillion dollar expansions that will be supported by the allocations.
"These are the latest in a series of Niagara allocations that we've made since early 2004 under an enhanced process for making the low-cost electricity available on a continuous basis to encourage investment and job creation in Western New York," said Joseph J. Seymour, NYPA chairman. "In less than two years, the job commitments that we've received for this power have topped 2,500, underscoring the hydroelectric project's considerable value to the region."
Chairman Seymour noted that the streamlined process has resulted in allocations over this period of some 50,000 kilowatts (kw) of power in support of $672 million in investments by those receiving the power.
The Western New York Advisory Group, consisting of the Power Authority, Niagara Mohawk, Empire State Development Corp., and the Buffalo Niagara Enterprise, recommends allocations from two blocks of Niagara industrial power, known as replacement power and expansion power. Together, the two blocks of power, totaling 695,000 kw, are linked to more than 43,000 jobs on the Niagara Frontier.
Invitrogen Corp. will receive an allocation of 375 kw of replacement power in return for creating 36 jobs and protecting 452 existing ones. The company is undertaking modifications to provide additional space for new manufacturing equipment for various pharmaceutical and biotech products, investing $5-1/2 million on the expansion.
American Axle & Manufacturing will receive 650 kw in return for creating 17 jobs and protecting 142 existing positions. The company, which is a premier manufacturer of automotive drive-line and chassis systems, is undertaking an $8.6 million expansion of its production and office facilities.
The 2,400,000-kw Niagara Project, about five miles downstream from Niagara Falls, provides some of the lowest cost power in New York State, along with being its single largest source of electricity.

Police on Saturday pulled Reichardt over in his vehicle for having only one working headlight and a female subject who was riding in the front seat and had a valid order of protection against the driver. After a search of Reichardt and his vehicle, officers located a quantity of marijuana. He was issued an appearance ticket and will appear in court at a later date.
Richard R. Blose, of Ashville was charged with driving while intoxicated, DWI per se and leaving the scene of a property damage accident. Police on Saturday at 2:56 a.m. stopped a vehicle on Shadyside Road in the village of Lakewood. Upon investigation, it was found Blose was intoxicated.
James D. Surrena, 42, of Prospect Avenue, Jamestown, was charged with issuing a bad check. A warrant was served on Surrena for issuing the bad check, presented to Bob's Liquor on Nov. 3. The warrant was sent to Chautauqua County Jail, where Surrena was being held on other charges. He is due in Town of Busti Court on Jan. 10 for arraignment.
Frank Orazio, 22, Spencer Burke, 19, and Justin Burke, 23, all of Stockton were charged with fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property. Police were conducting an investigation into a reported larceny that occurred in the town of Charlotte on Dec. 15. The investigation led to the arrest of the three suspects after the reported stolen property was found in their possession. All three were issued appearance tickets and are to appear in Stockton Court at a later date.
On Dec. 23, 2012, Troopers responded to a residence in the town of Panama for a report of a violation of an order of protection. Investigation revealed that the suspect, Joshua Phanco, 20, of Lakewood, contacted the victim several times by phone, thus violating the court order. Phanco was arrested for second-degree criminal contempt, processed and released with an appearance ticket returnable to the Town of Harmony Court.
On Jan. 5, 2013, Troopers arrested Mark Johnson, 31, of Ellington, for driving while intoxicated. Johnson was pulled over on East Second Street in Jamestown for multiple traffic violations, and after failing several field sobriety tests, he was placed under arrest. Johnson was transported to the State Police barracks in Jamestown, where he provided a breath sample of .14 percent. He was then processed, issued tickets returnable to the City of Jamestown Court, and released to a sober individual.


text: Once each year I invite donations for the upkeep of micapeak.com, which powers this mailing list, assorted Web sites and other services. It's that time! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contributions (in US dollars) can be made in two ways. The LESS-desirable method is to send your check to: H M Lewis (micapeak.com) PO Box 14755 Spokane, WA 99214 USA The PREFERRED WAY is to use PayPal (http://www.paypal.com) to make your donation directly to: marcl at micapeak.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- That's the request. Now, if you're still with me, I'll be a little bit more verbose, and tell you why Carl and I would very much appreciate your contribution. We had excellent service from the Web hosting service we started using in 2008, and expect to continue our hosting there for the foreseeable future. It's nice that they are physically less than 10 miles from our homes, though in fact we didn't need to visit their site once in 2009. Their prices are higher than we've paid elsewhere (this is our 5th different hosting shop in 15 years), but the service seems to justify the cost. Both Carl and I had setbacks in the economic downturn, as did most of you, I would assume. Nevertheless, my promise to keep micapeak.com et all running no matter what still stands -- but we can sure use a little help. Fortunately, Carl and I know that some of the folks for whom this mailing list is an important part of daily life would like to show their appreciation with a modest donation. We encourage you to think about how much time you spend each day following this list, or using micapeak's other resources. If it seems worthwhile to you, then please consider donating something. Carl and I will continue to operate the mailing lists, micapeak.com and other Websites for the foreseeable future (we even have sections in our wills to make sure the online stuff survives us). There is no obligation for you to donate anything, and you'll continue to get the email and Webpages we serve for free. But we'd appreciate it if you'd help out... Thanks in advance! --hmarc SPECIAL NOTE: Let's not make this a topic of discussion on the mailing list, OK? Donate or don't, as it suits you, but we have neither the time nor the energy to discuss the subject further than what you see above. And we're sure your fellow subscribers would rather not have the list itself cluttered with more than this notice on the subject. Thanks!

U.S. Girls' Youth National Team Aces Trinidad and Tobago

Phone: 719-228-6800
E-Mail: email@example.com
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (July 6, 2008) – The U.S. Girls' Youth National Team dominated Trinidad & Tobago 25-8, 25-11, 25-8 with a 16-0 ace advantage to improve to 2-0 in pool play Sunday at the NORCECA Girls' Youth Continental Championship held in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico.
Team USA concludes pool play on Monday at 6 p.m. against the U.S. Virgin Islands. If the Americans defeat U.S. Virgin Islands, it will claim the top seed in Pool B and receive a bye into the semifinals that start on July 9.
The NORCECA Girls' Youth Continental Championship serves as a qualifier into the 2009 FIVB Girls' Youth World Championship to be held Aug. 5-16 in India. The top three finishers at the NORCECA event qualify for the World Championship.
Kelly Reeves (San Diego) led the U.S. with 13 points with nine kills on 18 swings, three aces on seven serves and a block. Ashley Wittman (Shakopee, Minn.) chipped in 12 points with seven kills on 11 attacks and five aces on 23 serves. Tori Dixon (Savage, Minn.) contributed seven kills on nine attacks, an ace and two blocks for 10 points. Erica Denney (Centennial, Colo.) charted four aces on 15 serves, two kills and a block for seven points. Jazmine Orozco tallied two kills, two blocks and an ace for five points. Molly Kreklow (Hamlake, Minn.) had a kill, block and ace for three points. Carly Wopat (Goleta, Calif.) and Carly Thomas (Swansea, Ill.) rounded out the scoring with a single point each.
Jennifer Bonilla (Reseda, Calif.) provided a team-high eight digs to go with four excellent service receptions on 10 attempts. Kreklow set nine assists in the match, while Thomas added two. Wittman charted seven excellent service receptions on eight attempts without an error. Reeves turned in seven digs and five excellent service receptions on seven errorless chances.
"We played consistent, high-level volleyball and came together well as a team," Wopat said.
U.S. Girls' Youth National Team Head Coach Jim Stone started the match with Kreklow at setter, Denney and Dixon at middle blocker, Wopat, Wittman and Reeves on the outside. Bonilla is the team's designated libero for the tournament. Madelyn Hutson (Brentwood, Tenn.) and Orozco started the third set. Scullion subbed into the match in the second set, while Thomas came off the bench as a reserve in the third set.
"It was a good chance for the new players to get playing time and for the coaches to try something new," Thomas said.
The U.S. built a 16-6 lead over Trinidad & Tobago at the second technical timeout and scored nine of the final 11 points of the frame. Team USA grabbed an early 6-2 lead in the second set and reached the second technical timeout leading 16-7 before finishing with a 25-11 victory. With a restructured lineup in the third set, the Americans opened with a 13-1 advantage before settling for the 25-8 victory.
"The team fought mentally through the match and took care of business," Wittman said.
Team USA out-blocked Trinidad & Tobago 7-3 to go with a 29-9 kill advantage. The U.S. converted 54.7 percent of its attacks into kills, while Trinidad & Tobago managed just 20 percent. The Americans held a 60 percent in excellent service receptions with just one fault, while their opponents managed a 8.2 percent on reception.
Sinead Jack led Trinidad & Tobago with eight points on seven kills and a block. Channon Thompson and Marisha Herbert each added a kill in the match, while Arriane Matthews and Chrysta Stuart added a block.
In other matches later today, Dominican Republic faces U.S. Virgin Islands and Mexico plays Costa Rica.

Has anyone tried this retailer? I have been looking for some new places to get high-end Uji sencha, and the name came up in a Google search.
Also, a fun language question: I know what Marukyu means, but Koyamaen? Is Koyamaen even a Japanese word, or is it 'small mountain' with 'en' attached to denote that it's their English-language website?
EDIT: I read on their website that one of their points of distribution for their tea is at temples? Do Japanese temples really have tea for sale? That's awesome. We need to start selling gourmet coffee in churches here in the west.

Tandoori Chicken
- 5 cloves
- 2 dried guajillo chiles (if you can't find these, then use 2 chiles de arbol, and more paprika for color)
- 2 green cardamom, husks discarded, seeds retained
- 1 black cardamom, husk discarded, seeds retained
- 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
- 1 cup whole fat plain yogurt
- 1/4 cup peanut or canola oil
- 2 tablespoons malt vinegar or lime juice
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
- Pinch cayenne pepper
- 8 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 -inch thumb ginger, peeled and minced
- 1 packet boneless skinless chicken thighs (1 1/2 pounds usually)
- 1 teaspoon honey
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Couple of extra limes, for garnish
To make the marinade, toast the cloves, whole chiles, both types of cardamom seeds, coriander seeds, fennel seeds and fenugreek seeds in a cast-iron skillet until fragrant, 3 minutes or so, shaking the pan. Then, pour the spices into a spice grinder and grind them until you get a fine powder.
In large bowl, whisk together the spice mixture you just made with the yogurt, oil, malt vinegar, salt, ground cinnamon, paprika, turmeric, cayenne pepper, garlic and ginger until well combined. It should smell amazing! Taste and adjust with more salt if it needs it.
Reserve 1/3 cup of the marinade and set aside; you're going to make a sauce out of this reserved marinade.
Prick the chicken thighs with a fork. Add the thighs to the rest of the marinade, and toss to coat. Marinate at least 1 hour in the fridge, and at most overnight.
When you're ready to cook, line a baking sheet with foil, and turn your broiler on. Place each chicken thigh on the baking sheet, making sure each one is coated with the marinade, but isn't swimming in it. Cook the chicken thighs under the broiler until starting to blacken, about 5 minutes. Then turn the oven to 350, and cook until a meat thermometer inserted in the meatiest part of the thigh registers 160 degrees F, another 10 minutes. Remove from the oven.
While the chicken is cooking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan, along with 1/2 cup water and the honey. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-low heat, whisking all the time. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and pour into a small bowl or gravy boat for serving.
Serve the chicken thighs on a platter with a fresh squeeze of lime and a drizzle of the sauce.

ANALYSIS: Will the Kermit Gosnell verdict change the abortion debate?
(RNS) When rogue abortionist Kermit Gosnell was found guilty of delivering and then killing late-term infants, abortion opponents were convinced they had a case that could finally reshape a static abortion debate. Yet for a variety of reasons, those prayers for a game-changing impact may go unanswered.

The need is constant.
Give a little of yourself this summer
The summer months are a great time to get involved with the American Red Cross. By giving a little of yourself this summer you can help Meet the Need: Ensure patients get the blood and platelets they need, victims of house fires and natural disasters are taken care of, and your family and community are ready with lifesaving CPR and First-Aid skills.
Visit givebloodgivelife.org or call 1-800-GIVE-LIFE to learn how you can Meet the Need this summer.
Your blood is needed more than you think
Do you know how much blood may be needed by patients? Find out by clicking here.
One-one-thousand, two-one-thousand: A patient just needed blood. Every 2 seconds a patient in the United States needs a blood transfusion. That's nearly 5 million patients a year – family, friends and neighbors. But did you know that the average blood donor gives less than two times a year?
Depending on your donation method, you may be able to help more patients. Click here to learn about the eligibility parameters for whole blood, platelet and double red cell donations.
If every eligible donor gave two times or more there would not be a blood shortage. During the summer months, when blood donations can drop while the need remains constant, it's especially important to give blood and help Meet the Need. Every blood donation counts!
Healthy eating can lead to a healthy hemoglobin level too
Having a healthy hemoglobin level in your blood is a key factor when determining donor eligibility. Hemoglobin is a protein carried by the red blood cells that contains iron. A blood donor must have a hemoglobin level above a specific measure to donate blood for another person.
By changing your diet to include more high-iron foods and avoiding substances that reduce iron absorption, you can improve your iron level and therefore improve your hemoglobin.
Oprah's "Big Give" supports Red Cross blood drives
Giving blood is often considered synonymous with saving lives. But on Friday, April 11, blood donors also honored the memory of a fellow blood donor, Jason Skaanning, who was killed by a drunk driver in 2000 at the age of 17.
Each year, Pam Skaaning, Jason's mother, single-handedly organizes a Red Cross blood drive on Jason's birthday in December. Pam's efforts recently drew the attention of Oprah's local "Big Give" program. On March 20, Pam and the Red Cross received a check for $10,000 as part of the local "Big Give" program, in honor of Jason's life and to help spread the message of blood donation to the community. To celebrate the gift and further honor Jason, this second blood drive was held.

If you are preparing for a big move, there are probably a number of affairs you are trying to get in order. However, dog owners must also remember certain steps to prepare their canine for the smoothest transition possible.
Dogs are creatures of habit, and if packing or other moving preparations are disrupting your normal routine, your dog is likely to notice and may feel anxious. VCA Animal Hospitals recommends trying to hide packing from your dog as much as possible. Try to keep boxes and suitcases out of view, and pack up the dog's supplies last. You should also be aware that older dogs or those with chronic illnesses like canine diabetes may be more sensitive to change. When you can no longer prevent your canine from noticing the change, it can help to designate one person to pay attention to the pet to quell any anxiety it may be feeling.
Best Friends Animal Society reports that it is important to keep pets safe and secure once you arrive at your new home, since they may try to escape and go "home." Start the same routine of feeding and play you had before to reassure your pet that life will go on as usual.

Abstract: There were four major objectives of the West Eugene Wetlands Special Area Study: 1. To use the best information to help the community understand the choices available; 2. To find a balance between environmental protection and sound urban development which meets state and federal laws and regulations; 3. To provide opportunities for involvement of all interested segments of the community in Plan development; and 4. To turn a perceived "wetlands problem" into a "wetlands opportunity" for the community.... this Plan addresses wetlands and economic development as critical parts of a healthy, livable community. While the plan contains more detailed goals, policies, and recommended actions, the thrust of the Plan can be understood by reviewing the following highlights, the Wetland Designations Map (Map 3) and the Wetlands Conceptual Plan Map (Map 4).

PowerColor, a subsidiary of Tul Corp. and a well-known maker of graphics cards, recently started to supply its clients S3 DeltaChrome S8-based graphics cards. The products at this point are available only in
DeltaChrome – Finally Here
S3 DeltaChrome S8 is the company's performance-mainstream graphics processor with 8 rendering pipelines featuring one TMU per each, advanced pixel and vertex shaders beyond DirectX 9.0 specs, some memory bandwidth saving technologies, multi-display capabilities, 400MHz RAMDAC, integrated TV-Out controller, TMDS transmitter and so on, support for 480p / 720p / 1080i / 1080p HDTV resolutions via component (YPbPr) output, 480i standard TV output via S-video and composite output, programmable video engine and AGP 8x support.
Akiba PC Hotline web-site reports about PowerColor's DeltaChrome S8 graphics cards with 256MB of DDR SDRAM memory and D-Sub, DVI-I as well as TV-Out connectors. While the reference design for the DeltaChrome S8 assumed 300MHz/650MHz core-clocks for VPU/memory, the device from PowerColor features 250MHz/500MHz speeds.
The PowerColor's DeltaChrome S8 product is priced between $130 and $150.
This is the first time when a DeltaChrome chip emerged for sale. This means that the product is available roughly 1.5 years after the initial announcement in early 2003 and a little bit less than 2 years after the first DirectX 9.0 supporting graphics card – ATI RADEON 9700 PRO – started to sell.
It is not clear whether S3 DeltaChrome-based products will arrive to stores in
For more information about S3 DeltaChrome graphics processors, please check our reviews titled "The Return of S3: DeltaChrome Graphics Card Review" and "S3 DeltaChrome S8 Gets Nitro Acceleration: Review of the Revamped S8".
GammaChrome – The Next Big Thing for S3 Graphics?
For S3 Graphics the DeltaChrome is not something the company pins a lot of hopes on. Later this year the firm is expected to unleash the GammaChrome lineup of visual processing units that will be more powerful compared to the DeltaChrome and will be intended for PCI Express platforms. S3 Graphics' GammaChrome-based products are expected to be available Q3 2004 in retail add-in-card as well as OEM desktop/notebook personal computers. S3 decided to refrain from sharing any of the GammaChrome features and specifications besides saying that the chip will feature even more advanced video capabilities than the predecessor.
Just like NVIDIA and ATI S3 Graphics is currently developing a special improved compiler for shaders to incorporate it into its drivers. The new compiler will bring a performance advantage to the DeltaChrome chips, but its main target is the GammaChrome architecture. It is possible to expect that GammaChrome will take a very substantial advantage of the compiler in addition to generally revamped architecture.

- Autonomous region: Valencia
- Province/Island: Castellón - Castelló
This village in Castellón is characterised by its mountains, which all but reach the sea. Alcalá de Xivert-Alcossebre is located between the Costa del Azahar coast and the inland Maestrat region. Here the sea and the mountains come together to form contrasting landscapes. Along its ten kilometres of coastline there are five high quality beaches, along with various unspoilt coves. These Mediterranean waters are ideal for water sports such as sailing, fishing and scuba diving, amongst others. Alcossebre is also a good base from which to explore the Columbretes Islands Nature Reserve.
Many different routes and footpaths run through the Sierra de Irta Mountains, Alcossebre's great nature area. Other interesting places are the L'Estany wetlands and the dunes to be found between El Carregador and La Romana beaches. Local gastronomy is also highly varied, with fish and rice dishes being some of its most outstanding.

Disposal of wildlife no longer picked up
LINCOLN – Deer and other wildlife killed on Alcona County roads are no longer going to be hauled off for disposal. Instead, they will be dragged a distance away from the shoulder or placed in woods, Alcona County Road Commissioner Al Scully said.
Alcona crews had been picking up the carcasses as a courtesy and hauling them to several sites. However, the U.S. Forest Service and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources are discouraging such practices because a pile of dead animals at one site could cause the spread of bovine TB among deer, when the carrion is fed on and scattered by insects, crows, coyotes and other wildlife.
The change means Alcona is following the same practices as Alpena, Montmorency and Presque Isle, where hundreds of deer and other wildlife die on roads every year, officials said.
"We used to go bury them, but with the onset of TB, the forest service and the DNR are saying that you have to spread them out," Eric Precord, MDOT maintenance coordinator, said.
"If we're in a rural area, it just makes sense to drag them off a road," Precord said. "If it's out in your front yard, the county will pick it up. But we're not going to put them all in one place."
All counties in Northeast Michigan do a great job of removing animals, Precord said.
"If it's in the center of the highway or in traffic's way, it's more of an emergency and they get them immediately," he said. "If it's on the shoulder, it's not as high a priority then."
Precord said the public probably won't notice any change at all, "because it will look like business as usual. But if it's in your yard and we get a phone call, we get someone out there to take care of it."
Normally, residents call their local road commission to request an animal be removed, and can get frustrated with delays, because of the smell, insects and other hazards.
"If your dog runs out and rolls in a dead deer, people take it personally," Precord said.

U.S. Women Block Poland Upset Bid, Finish Second in Pool

BEIJING (Aug. 17, 2008) – Logan Tom (Salt Lake City, Utah) scored six of her team-high 25 points in the final set and the U.S. Olympic Women's Indoor Volleyball Team rallied from a 2-1 set deficit to defeat Poland 18-25, 25-21, 19-25, 25-19, 15-13 on the final day of pool-play matches of the 2008 Olympic Games at Beijing's Capital Indoor Stadium Sunday afternoon.
The U.S. (4-1), looking to reach the Olympic medal stand for the first time since 1992 (bronze in 1992, silver in 1984), concludes pool play with a second-place finish behind undefeated Cuba (5-0). Poland (1-4) entered the match needing a victory over the U.S. along with some help to earn a spot in the quarterfinals. Now, both China and Japan have qualified for the quarterfinals, but the match winner between the two teams tonight will be the third seed out of Pool A.
"We just wanted to take the opportunity today to play well and prepare for our quarterfinal match," U.S. Olympic Women's Indoor Volleyball Team Head Coach 'Jenny' Lang Ping said. "I still say our players are picked on and we are not playing very consistently. For us to have a good game in the quarterfinals, we will need to improve ourselves."
The top four teams in both round-robin preliminary pools advance to the quarterfinals on Aug. 19 with the winner of each pool facing the fourth-place team in the opposite pool. A drawing of lots held after the press conference for the 10 p.m. Russia-Serbia match will determine the opponents for the second- and third-place teams against the opposite pool. The quarterfinal winners advance to the semifinals on Aug. 21, while the gold and bronze medal matches take place on Aug. 23.
Poland, which trailed 14-11 in the opening set, scored 10 of the final 12 points to take a 25-18 victory. Team USA reversed the opening set conclusion by trailing 18-15 in the second set, only to come back to win 25-21 by scoring 10 of the final 13 points with four points from Tom during the spurt. The U.S. battled back from a 14-9 third-set deficit to within two at 18-16, but Poland pocketed the 25-19 victory with six of the final eight points. The U.S. rolled to a 7-2 lead early in the fourth set and Poland never came closer than three points as the Americans won 25-19 to send the match into a tiebreaking fifth set.
The U.S. recovered from a 3-0 deficit to start the fifth and took a 7-5 lead, but had to rally once again from an 11-10 deficit to win 15-13. Tom scored the final two points with a block and kill after the set was tied at 13-all.
Tom tallied 18 kills on 39 swings, match-high six blocks and an ace in leading Team USA. Ogonna Nnamani (Bloomington, Ill.) came off the bench to score 17 points via 11 kills, three blocks and three aces. Heather Bown (Yorba Linda, Calif.) chipped in 11 points on 10 kills and a block. Kim Willoughby (Napoleonville, La.), who started just the last three sets, added nine points on seven kills and two aces.
Kim Glass (Lancaster, Pa.) contributed five points in the match, while Danielle Scott-Arruda (Baton Rouge, La.) and Jennifer Joines (Milpitas, Calif.) added four points. Tayyiba Haneef-Park (Laguna Hills, Calif.) turned in three points in just two sets of action.
Robyn Ah Mow-Santos (Honolulu) and Lindsey Berg (Honolulu) shared the setting duties. Ah Mow-Santos was credited with 63 set attempts and nine assists, while Berg had four assists on 50 attempts. Nicole Davis (Stockton, Calif.) compiled a team-high 16 digs to go with a team-leading 25 excellent service receptions on 34 attempts. Tom added 13 digs and 18 excellent service receptions.
"We are really happy going into the quarterfinals with this win," Berg. "We feel Poland was going to be a tough team, which was going to come out today and play their hearts out as it needed to win to advance. We didn't stop fighting. We are still playing a little up and down, which we need to improve upon."
Lang Ping substituted freely during the match trying to find combinations that worked against Poland. The Team USA bench scored 30 points in the match. Lang Ping had 11 of the 12 players competing in at least two sets during the match.
"The tournament starts now. All of the players are in different physical conditions. Some players are a little tired. So I need to make sure to balance time, especially the bench players who haven't played much but are in great physical condition. I need to give them the opportunity to get the match back. For the older players, they may need to rest a couple sets. Again, our players did a great job. For the USA team, we always play as a team, and try to avoid our weakness."
The U.S. started captain Ah Mow-Santos at setter, Tom and Glass at outside hitter, Scott-Arruda and Bown at middle blocker and Haneef-Park at opposite. Davis is the designated U.S. libero for the Olympic Games. Nnamani played in all five sets, starting the final four sets. Willoughby started the final three sets after subbing into the match in the second set. Berg started the second, fourth and fifth sets, while Joines started the final two sets after coming off the bench in the third set. Stacy Sykora (Burleson, Texas) was a sub in the fourth set.
The U.S. held a 13-3 block advantage over Poland, and five of the blocks came in the crucial fifth set. Poland's defense helped it stay close with a 70-59 dig advantage, along with a 10-7 ace advantage. However, the U.S. attacked at a 32.2 efficiency (kills minus errors divided by attacks) while limiting Poland to a 14.0 efficiency. Team USA received serve with a 67.4 success percentage with 62 excellent receptions on 92 attempts, while Poland handled 91 U.S. serves with a 78.0 success percentage.
"We knew our opponents would be fighting as it was do-or-die for them," Bown said. "It was tough because we haven't been stellar at early morning matches, but we fought hard in the last set and got it."
Katarzyna Skowronska led Poland with 27 points as she provided 23 kills and four aces. Malgorzata Glinka contributed 14 points, followed by 12 points each from Agnieszka Bednarek and Milena Rosner.
The route through the Olympic Games preliminary round has been an emotional roller coaster for the American squad. Eight days ago, Team USA was informed of the tragic death of Todd Bachman, father-in-law of the U.S. Men's Olympic Indoor Volleyball Team and father of 2004 U.S. Olympic volleyball player Elisabeth "Wiz" Bachman. Less than five hours of learning of the death on Aug. 9, the team won an emotion-filled four set match over Japan. However, the team suffered a letdown the following match on Aug. 11 against Cuba before bouncing back to defeat Venezuela on Aug. 13. Team USA played its best match of the tournament on Aug. 15 in defeating host China.
Team USA is ranked fourth in the world by the FIVB taking into accounts results of the 2008 FIVB World Grand Prix, 2007 FIVB World Cup, 2007 Continental Championship, 2006 World Championships and 2004 Olympic Games.
In other matches today, Kazakhstan won its first match of the Olympics with a 25-18, 25-20, 17-25, 25-16 victory, while Cuba swept Venezuela 25-20, 25-20, 25-19 and Brazil topped Italy 25-16, 25-22, 25-17 in a battle of undefeated team in Pool B. Later today, China hosts Japan at 8 p.m. and Russia playing Serbia at 10 p.m.
Italy and Brazil are undefeated in Pool B and its match will settle the group's top seed. Serbia and Russia are tied for third at 2-2 and have qualified for the quarterfinals, but the winner of the head-to-head matchup will avoid being the number-four seed and facing Pool A's top seed in the quarterfinals. Kazakhstan finished fifth in Pool B, while Algeria placed sixth without a victory.
The U.S. Women qualified for the 2008 Olympic Games by finishing third at the 2007 FIVB World Cup, the first qualifying event for the Olympic Games. Team USA has earned a silver medal at the 1984 Olympic Games and a bronze medal at the 1992 Olympic Games.

Team USA started the first set strong with a Glass kill after a Polish error for a 2-0 advantage, but Poland answered with three consecutive points to assume a 3-2 lead. Scott-Arruda sliced a kill through the Polish defense, followed by a Poland error to give the U.S. a 5-4 lead. Tom and Bown scored consecutive kills to extend the gap to two, 7-5. Tom served an ace after the first technical timeout to push the lead to 9-6. Poland moved to within one at 10-9, but Glass scored two kills and an ace as part of a 3-1 run to take a three-point edge at 13-10 forcing a Poland timeout. Poland again charged back with a 4-1 scoring spurt to tie the set at 15-all. Bown scored a kill going into the second technical timeout, only to have Poland score four unanswered points to take 19-16 advantage. Poland extended its lead to seven at 24-17 with five straight points. Poland finished the set at 25-18 on its second set point opportunity.
Nnamani and Tom picked up consecutive kills to yield a 3-1 lead for the U.S. early in the second set. Poland came back with three straight points including two aces to take a 5-4 lead. Team USA regained the lead with four unanswered points at 11-8, including two aces by Nnamani after two Polish miscues. Poland responded with a 4-1 spurt to tie the set at 12-all. Poland continued its thrust by scoring three straight to take a 15-13 advantage. Poland scored points on both sides of the second technical timeout to net a 17-14 lead. Willoughby, Nnamani and Tom scored kills to erase the Polish lead and tie the set at 18-all. Team USA went ahead 20-19 on a service error and attack into the antenna by Poland. Team USA secured a key two-point cushion at 23-21 with a kill and block by Tom on consecutive plays. Out of a Poland timeout, Tom scored a third straight point with a kill to give the U.S. set points at 24-21. The U.S. ended the set on a diving dig by Ah Mow-Santos which Willoughby punched over on the second contact for a kill at 25-21.
Poland secured the first two-point cushion of the third set at 4-2 following an ace. Poland increased its margin to four with three straight points going into the first technical timeout. After a Scott-Arruda block put the U.S. down 9-6, Poland scored two consecutive points to increase its gap to five points at 11-6. Bown and Nnamani tallied back-to-back kills to slice the deficit down to three at 14-11. The U.S. battled to within two at 15-13 with a Bown kill and Nnamani block. Poland regained its four-point edge at 18-14 with back-to-back points. Tom ended a long rally with a kill after a Polish error to cut the gap to two, 18-16. Poland answered by jumping its lead back to six at 23-17 with four straight points and sided out for the 25-19 victory.
Willoughby followed a Nnamani kill with an ace to give the U.S. a 2-0 lead to start the fourth set. Nnamani hammered a kill and rotated to the backrow to serve an ace extending the Team USA lead to 5-2. After a timeout, Bown added a block and Nnamani slammed a kill from the backrow increasing the advantage to 7-2. Poland inched to two at 9-7 with three straight points. Tom struck consecutive kills and Joines put up a block to return the U.S. in front by five, 13-8. Tom added a fourth straight point with a block at 14-8. Poland chipped off three points of its deficit with a 4-1 run at 15-12. Willoughby downed a kill and followed with an ace to push the Team USA lead to 21-16. Tom added a third straight point with a kill extending the advantage to six points at 22-16. The U.S. traded points the rest of the set as Bown provided kills for the last two U.S. points at 25-19.
The U.S. fell behind 3-0 in the fifth set, but answered with three straight points of its own with a Nnamani block, Tom kill and Willoughby ace. Team USA picked up a 5-4 edge with Tom and Nnamani kills, then extended the lead to 7-5 after a Bown kill and Tom block. After trailing 8-6 at the switch, Poland roared back to take a 10-9 lead on a 4-1 spurt. Nnamani put up her second block of the set to tie it at 11-all, which started a 3-0 run that included a Scott-Arruda block and Tom kill after Poland had troubles handling Willoughby's serve for a 13-11 advantage. Poland gained the serve back and tie the set at 13-all with an ace. Tom ended the set with a block and kill to finish with six points in the tiebreaker.

Expert Q & A Answers About STD risk utensils
When should I start seeing an Ob-Gyn?
I have several questions...First, when should a girl get Pap smears done or start to go to see an Ob-Gyn? I'm not sexually active, but I do masturbate regularly. Is there a right way to masturbate? Sometimes I notice traces of brownish discharge on my panties. And finally, is it possible to get an STD from eating off the same plate and touching the same food as someone who has an STD? (My friend has multiple partners and hasn't been tested.)

Eccleston Plays "Naked" John Lennon
Monday, November 30, 2009
By Garth Franklin
Christopher Eccleston
Naoko Mori
British thesp Christopher Eccleston ("Heroes," "Doctor Who," "Elizabeth") has signed on to play John Lennon in Blast! Films and BBC Four's biopic "Naked Lennon" reports Variety.
Set between 1967 and 1971, the film deals with the end of Lennon's first marriage to Cynthia, Yoko Ono entering his life, the death of manager Brian Epstein and the band's own messy and acrimonious disintegration.
"Torchwood" and "Absolutely Fabulous" actress Naoko Mori, who appeared opposite Eccleston in a 2005 episode of "Doctor Who", is set to play Yoko. Also in the cast are Claudine Blakely ("Lark Rise to Candleford," "Pride and Prejudice") as his first wife, Andrew Scott ("Longitude," "John Adams") as Paul McCartney, and Rory Kinnear ("Quantum of Solace," "Cranford") as Brian Epstein
Robert Jones, creator of BBC's acclaimed series "Party Animals", penned the script. Filming is underway in London for an airing sometime next year.
The project comes not long after "Nowhere Boy", Sam Taylor Wood's 1950's-set feature film which looks at Lennon's teenage years and has so far drawn mixed reviews.

Rivera receives people's baptism of fire
PERA supporters air concerns at town hall meeting
For his first town hall meeting, new Pueblo Sen. George Rivera received an earful Tuesday night.
A group of about 12 gathered for the Republican's first public meeting since taking office after the September recall election of Democrat Angela Giron.
"I'd like to know what your concerns are because people have asked me through the campaign and since being elected, 'What are you going to do? What's your agenda?' You know what? My agenda is to do what people bring to my attention, to see if I can do something for them at the state Capitol," Rivera said at the La Gente Youth Center in Eastwood Heights.
What he got were a lot of concerns from local union members, teachers, current and retired public employees.
They grilled Rivera on his thoughts and stance on education, state ballot question Amendment 66, the state's mental health system and the Public Employees' Retirement Association, which dominated much of the discussion.
"The very thing that got you in office is the very thing we'll go after if you mess with our PERA. I can't tell you what to do but it will be in your best interest to talk to Pueblo PERA folks," said Phyllis Zamarripa.
"We're asking you to look for yourself and talk to people who truly know the information," said Robbie Rubinstein.
Sil Arteaga said that PERA members worry about Republican views of public employees and their retirement fund, but Pueblo has one of the largest populations of PERA members.
"We don't have a lot of faith with the GOP, with its understanding for public employees. We have our reasons to be very anxious about what the GOP plans to do with PERA," Arteaga said.
The only agreement to come out of the meeting was adding an Amtrak stop in Pueblo.
Floyd Jaramillo, an Eastwood Heights resident who passed out flyers about the meeting, was disappointed with the turnout but optimistic with Pueblo's new state senator.
"George Rivera is a good guy. He's new to this thing but he'll learn," Jaramillo said. "It's a shame more people didn't show. I went around to everyone with flyers. I guess it's just apathy."

Adding very low nicotine content cigarettes to nicotine replacement therapy and behavioural support increases abstinence at 6 months after the quit date

Commentary on
Implications for practice and research
Adding very low nicotine content (VLNC) cigarettes to nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) and behavioural support may help some smokers become abstinent.
Use of VLNCs did not increase serious adverse health events when used with NRT.
We cannot assume VLNCs would be as safe without NRT because there may be more compensatory smoking.
There are proven interventions to help smokers quit, both behavioural (group, individual, telephone-based counselling) and pharmacological (NRT, medications).1 This study examined using VLNCs to help smokers quit. VLNCs mimic the act of smoking and are thought to address non-nicotine aspects of smoking including hand-to-mouth …

Game offers unlimited options
June 26, 2007
Whenever a game night arrives, I look through the closet and wonder what I should bring. Monopoly? Simpsons trivia? Then I see the game that time forgot : The Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon.
It's based on the six degrees of separation theory. If you know 100 people, and they know 100 people, and so on, you'll be connected in six steps to 1 trillion people. Since there are only 6 billion people, the theory is you're connected to anybody in the world if you connect to the right people.
Take that theory and apply it to Kevin Bacon. Take everybody he's ever been in a movie with, then take everybody they've been in a movie with. Connect the right films, and anybody's linked to Bacon in six steps or less.
While other college students drank and made social contacts that would help them land lucrative careers, my friend Brad and I would stave off sleep with rounds of the game. Back then, I'd find refuge in 1992's "A Few Good Men," so then I had five steps left to connect any actor or actress to Tom Cruise, Demi Moore, Jack Nicholson, Kevin Pollak, Kiefer Sutherland, or Cuba Gooding Jr.
As Hollywood relied more on the profitability of ensemble cast movies, actor connections got more frequent and Bacon got a little bit too easy.
Thanks to "Oceans Eleven" and its two sequels, Julia Roberts (Bacon's co-star in "Sleepers") connects to George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Andy Garcia, Don Cheadle, Al Pacino, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Bernie Mac.
And thanks to "The Usual Suspects," Pollak can be linked to Benicio Del Toro, Chazz Palminteri, Gabriel Byrne and Kevin Spacey.
And thanks to the comedy "Rat Race," Gooding can be linked to John Cleese (Monty Python references abound), Whoopi Goldberg, Kathy Bates, Jon Lovitz, Amy Smart and Breckin Meyer.
And thanks to a cameo appearance by Cruise in the third Austin Powers film, we're also linked to Mike Myers, Robert Wagner, Beyonce Knowles and Michael Caine.
Even if Kevin Bacon retired back in 1992, the passage of time would make him easy to link. But he took even more fun out of the game by acting in "Mystic River" (with Tim Robbins, Sean Penn and Laurence Fishburne) and "The River Wild" (with Meryl Streep) and 31 other movies without "River" in the title.
That's 30 recognizable actors in less than two links to Bacon. That's without noting Nicholson's 72 films or the ensemble casts with Spacey in "American Beauty" and "A Time to Kill." I haven't pulled the Bacon board game out lately; now it feels like Candy Land, only simpler.
Brad and I are back in touch, and we've decided we need a new Kevin Bacon.
I thought, maybe it could be Seth Green, an underrated sitcom actor. No sale, Brad says, because Green was in "Rat Race" and that makes him an easy link.
Brad suggested professional wrestlers. No sale, I says, because The Rock was in "The Rundown" with Christopher Walken, and Walken limits his acting choices to whatever the casting director is offering that day.
We're still looking for a game challenging enough to survive our encyclopedic memories of movie casts, so once in a while we can be losers at a movie game.
You know, instead of a loser that passes nights by talking about Seth Green and professional wrestlers.

Hey Guys, I need some help. I may have the opportunity to manage the pizza production services of a soon to open restaurant here in the local area. Here is what I am looking for. I'm not looking for specific formulas or anything like that. What in general are your dough management practices? IE how many pies a day do you sell, what type of dough do you use, what fermentation times do have, how far in advance are your balls made, what type of proofing do you use. Any info you guys can give me will be greatly appreciated.Thanks and Mangia Bene Jerry
