The addition of lemonade to the Pimm's Cup is a practice founded by the Napoleon House in New Orleans. It simply adds another level of flavor to this classic English drink.

However, the automatic transmission segment is expected to gain traction owing to the changing preference from manual to automatic systems in the next few years. This trend is estimated to boost the demand for automatic transmission systems globally.
By fuel type, the global automotive transmission market has been categorized into diesel, gasoline, and others. In 2014, the gasoline segment accounted for the largest share in the global automotive transmission market. In the next few years, the diesel segment is projected to overtake gasoline as the dominant segment of the automotive transmission market. The others segment comprises fuel sources such as hybrid and electric vehicles. This segment is projected to grow significantly throughout the forecast period.

Muslim-owned hotel in New York offers easy citizenship "birth tourism"
We are way past due for another look at the Fourteenth Amendment.
Making more Muslim American citizens, cheap. And the way Turkey is going, it is increasingly unlikely that the children born in New York via this method will grow up to be ardent secularists. "New York hotel pioneers birth tourism," from Breaking Travel News, June 10 (thanks to Logans Warning):
A New York hotel is staking its claim to have invented a new hospitality niche -
birth tourism. The Marmara Manhattan offers "an exclusive package for new mothers that wish to give birth in the USA", with the additional bonus of the newborn child gaining US citizenship.
The hotel, which is part of the Turkish hospitality chain, exploits the 14th amendment to the US constitution, which states that all children born on American soil "are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside".
The Marmara Manhattan, which is located in New York's Upper East Side, told The Times: "What we offer is simply a one-bedroom suite accommodation for $5,100, plus taxes, for a month, with airport transfer, baby cradle and a gift set for the mother." There are also medical fees of about £20,500.
However the price is a cheap and easy one to pay for US citizenship. Many will eventually use the newborn - known as an "anchor baby" - as a stepping stone for the immigration of extended family.
The hotel has so far sold 15 of the packages.
According to the US Citizenship and Immigration Services, the practice is entirely legal as long as the women can pay their medical bills.
However there are noises being made in Washington to close the loophole.
Gary Miller, a Republican congressman, told The Times: "They come to this country and have babies. The children are citizens. The children are eligible to go to school.
They receive food stamps and social programmes. The American taxpayers
are paying for it....

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – Senior Sarah Neatherton capped a
Northern Arizona comeback with a goal in the seventh minute of
overtime after sophomore Jenna Samora tied the game with just three
minutes and 10 seconds left in regulation as the Lumberjacks got
past Montana, 2-1, on Friday afternoon at Lumberjack Stadium.
Northern Arizona improved to 8-7-1 overall and 3-2-0 in the Big Sky
while Montana fell to 3-12-1 and 1-3-1 in conference play.
The Grizzlies took the early lead on Friday and almost made it stand up despite being out-shot 24-2 for the game. Montana was awarded a free kick just past the midfield line, and freshman Lauren Costa took the set piece and sent a lob into the NAU box. The feed found junior Frankie Brady, who was unmarked in front of the Lumberjack goal and got the ball past goalkeeper Tori Rocke to give Montana the early lead.
The Lumberjacks had several quality scoring chances through the remainder of the half, but Montana took a 1-0 lead into the half as the visitors scored on their only shot in the opening 45 minutes.
Northern Arizona would possess the ball on the Montana side of the field for almost the entire second half, continuously coming close to the equalizer. Neatherton missed a chip shot just high in the 77th minute and in the 84th minute junior Sam Monahan hit the left post off a cross.
The Lumberjacks would finally find the equalizer in the 87th minute. Junior Kristi Andreassen sent a long pass down the left side of the field and found Samora, who was able to dribble past Montana goalkeeper Grace Harris and slide the ball into the empty net to send the game to overtime tied 1-1.
Northern Arizona continued on the attack in the extra session and found the game winner in the 97th minute. A failed clearance by the Grizzlies put the ball on the feat of Netherton, who dribbled past a defender and went 1-on-1 with the Montana keeper. The senior fired a shot to the top left side of the goal to give the Lumberjacks a hard-fought 2-1 win.
"I thought our players were very disciplined and continued going forward without putting their heads down," said head coach Andre Luciano. "Jenna's goal was just pure gutsy brilliance and I'm so happy for Sarah to score a huge goal for us in overtime. I'm proud of my team, but we've got a lot of unfinished business."
NAU dominated the game statistically, holding the aforementioned 24-2 shot advantage and recording a 10-2 advantage in shots on goal. Andreassen, Monahan and Neatherton each took a team-high five shots, and the Lumberjacks held a 7-1 advantage in corner kicks. Rocke made one save in the victory while Harris stopped eight shots for Montana. Northern Arizona was whistled for a season-high 11 offsides infractions.
The Lumberjacks close their home schedule on Sunday, hosting conference-leading Eastern Washington at noon at Lumberjack Stadium. Prior to kickoff, the team will honor graduating seniors Neatherton, Gianara Campasano, Penny Short, Sarah Vallen and Kara Vitacca.

Is Fox So Anxious To Attack Obama That They'd Endanger Covert Military Personnel?
Blog ››› ››› CHELSEA RUDMAN
This is a new low for Fox. It's one thing to argue that the ongoing operations in Libya came too late, or shouldn't have happened at all, or are backed by a coalition that's too big, or too small, or that U.S. involvement is too much, or too little -- all of which the right-wing media have managed to say in the past few weeks, sometimes in the same breath -- but it's another to engage in baseless fearmongering that even they admit could put our troops in danger. But, hey! When public opinion polls show that Americans support Obama's actions in Libya, they have to do something to turn the tide against Obama, right?
This began last night, when host Bill O'Reilly interviewed retired Colonel David Hunt and Lieutenant Colonel Tony Shaffer, a former Army intelligence officer, about whether or not the U.S. has "boots on the ground" in Libya. From the March 24 edition of The O'Reilly Factor (via Nexis):
O'REILLY: In the impact segment tonight, not much new to report out of Libya other than Gadhafi's ground forces continue to be hammered by NATO war planes. Some Americans fear there will be boots on the ground in Libya.
The Obama administration says that's not going to happen, but what is happening on the ground may surprise you. Joining us now from Washington Lt. Colonel Tony Shaffer, a former Army Intelligence Officer and from Boston Colonel David Hunt, Fox News military analyst.
So we hear special forces are already on the ground in Libya. True, Colonel Hunt?
COLONEL DAVID HUNT, U.S. ARMY (RETIRED): Yes, absolutely. You've got British service been in there about three weeks ago and captured and released. The French GIGN have been in there and our special forces and our U.S. intelligence operatives and their assets.
We do not conduct operations like this, large scale air operations without people on the ground. They have been very successful, very good, not a lot of contact with the rebels because you don't know who to talk to.
But, yes, we have got Intel gathering, and rescue guys and special operations guys on the ground, have had them for about 12 days.
O'REILLY: Now, do you agree with that, Colonel Shaffer?
LT. COLONEL TONY SHAFFER, FORMER ARMY INTELLIGENCE OFFICER: Yes, I have heard from my sources -- I got a call from one of my key sources on Monday and that's exactly what's going on. Let's be really clear here.
You have got to have these individuals doing what Dave just said, especially when you are talking about trying to protect and the stated goal here, Bill, is humanitarian support.
So you don't want to have weapons hitting the wrong targets. So, Dave is very good on the fact that we have special operations guys sitting there with laser designators. Bill, you saw -
O'REILLY: Well, tell me what a laser designator is?
SHAFFER: Well, laser designator is a thing you put on a target especially when you are talking about having close quarters between the adversary -
O'REILLY: So they actually from the air can see these laser designators? So we have guys saying here, you get these people?
SHAFFER: Right, right.
Horrifyingly, even as Hunt acknowledged that usually such special operations are not discussed because "[i]t's protecting guys whose assets are on the ground," O'Reilly egged him on, encouraging him to continue to talk publicly about operations that are normally kept secret in order to "[protect] our guys" (via Nexis, emphasis added):
O'REILLY: Now, the Obama administration says flat out we don't have any boots on the ground there. We are not going to have them. Is that a lie, Colonel Hunt?
HUNT: Yes, it's disinformation. It's protecting guys whose assets on the ground. We don't talk about covert activity. Some the stuff I have been involved in both the Southeast Asia and the Balkans, you know, it's really protecting our guys.
O'REILLY: You were one of the guys on grounds in the Balkans, Colonel Hunt was, when we weren't supposed it have any guys on the ground, correct?
HUNT: Yes, and the reason it's not published want to protect the guys I was with. In this case, it was Seals and trying to do some Intel work -- without the bad guys knowing about it. It's the same issue here with Libya.
O'REILLY: All right, but you were there yourself doing this while the Clinton administration was saying we didn't have anybody there. You were there. I just want people to know that that you have hands on experience and you know what's going on.
Now, Colonel Shaffer, when you say that we have guys in there, you are talking Delta Force guys? Green Beret guys? Navy Seals? All of those people?
SHAFFER: I know what group I was told are in there and their primary duty, their primary job is to make -- we would call them Forward Air controllers, Combat Air controllers.
O'REILLY: OK, but they are attached to the military service. We assume CIA guys are in there. You have got to assume that they are in there. They are everywhere, but they are civilians. You are talking about a military guys in there?
SHAFFER: Right, and their job is to basically make sure that on the terminal phase, the terminal ballistic phase of a bomb going into target that it goes into the target we want.
O'REILLY: Doesn't blow up villagers that have nothing to do with it.
SHAFFER: The bottom line is we trust our guys more than anyone else.
O'REILLY: Of course, look, we have the best Intel people in the world. They are all over the place and -- but I want people to know what's going on in Libya. That's my job.
Well, Bill, it might be your job to keep people informed, but doesn't it strike you as irresponsible to publicly speculate about operations that are normally kept secret for the safety of our troops?
Instead of reflecting on whether or not such reporting is responsible, Fox doubled down. This morning, Fox & Friends repeatedly replayed and hyped Hunt's interview, often without clarifying that Hunt -- who himself offered no concrete evidence for his claims -- specifically meant special forces whose missions are normally not discussed.
This text, for example, was repeatedly aired on screen:
Like O'Reilly, Fox & Friends co-hosts also seemed to possess no self-awareness about how their shameless fearmongering could be harmful, if there are indeed secret U.S. military operatives on the ground:
BRIAN KILMEADE (co-host): Special ops are involved in 100 different operations at any point. And as -- you were on the show last night. You heard, they use the term painting the targets. They're on there, so when the jets come over, you have special ops on the ground actually saying, "Okay, hit here" -
STEVE DOOCY (co-host): The laser pointers --
KILMEADE: -- and the laser goes right there, and the bomb hits right there.
DOOCY: The other guy in the split screen is Lieutenant Colonel Tony Shaffer, in operations like this, we always have guys on the ground who do recon, and surveillance and stuff like that. But for the administration to say, don't worry, we're not going to have boots on the ground, that's not exactly honest. Is it? Because we already do have boots on the ground.
At this point, co-host Gretchen Carlson's conscience seemed to catch up with her, though that still didn't stop her from talking about possible "secret, covert people" the U.S. military might have in Libya:
CARLSON: Well -- no. I don't think that's an issue. I think that you need to protect those people who are there. I think when it becomes an issue is if we actually have boots on the ground.
DOOCY: We have boots on the ground!
CARLSON: No, no, no, if we actually are there.
DOOCY: If we invade?
CARLSON: Yes. When you say boots on the ground --
DOOCY: We're not going to invade.
CARLSON: Ok, well, that's a totally different thing and most Americans would understand that we have secret, covert people there, and we don't want to blow their cover. But it's totally different when you're talking about what our long-term mission is there, and that remains unknown.
Fox & Friends didn't even bother to conceal their true motive with this irresponsible reporting. Following that segment, Doocy teased the story again later on the show by saying:
DOOCY: Meanwhile, a stunning revelation -- sources say there are troops on the ground in Libya. Will this spell more trouble for President Obama in the court of public opinion?
Carlson spelled this out even more clearly in a later segment with Geraldo Rivera:
CARLSON: Don't you think it changes the entire tone of this discussion with the American public, if, in fact, there's any inkling that we have boots on the ground? I mean, I do. I think it changes the whole -- those polls would change dramatically about whether or not Americans support this or not.
In other words, Fox has noticed that polls show most Americans support the military action in Libya -- a Reuters poll released yesterday shows 60 percent back the action -- and has essentially decided: "There might be covert troops on the ground, and if so, it would be irresponsible to report on them. But let's do it anyway, because it could make Obama look like a liar!"
Is Fox willing to put the safety of our troops ahead of their shameless desire to smear Obama? It sure looks that way.

See also When to go to Zanzibar
Tanzania has a tropical climate with hot temperatures and high humidity, especially nearer the coast. The higher you are - and much of the interior is at altitude - the lower the temperature, particularly at night. On the coast be prepared for showers at any time.
From June to September (dry season)
The weather is less hot and less humid, but still warm. It's a good time for game viewing and ideal for walking safaris, as animals start to congregate around shrinking water sources. Temperatures become increasingly hot through October, with heavy concentrations of game around lakes and rivers.
From November to May (rainy season)
Things get increasingly wet and sticky, with April and May having the heaviest rainfall. This is the 'green season' with lush vegetation, full rivers and lakes, and abundant birdlife and wild flowers, as well as baby animals.
Within this framework, different areas have different patterns. Whale shark season is October to March.
Note: flight, boat, train and bus timetables change constantly, and airlines come and go, so please do not rely solely on this information for your travel planning. Check with relevant companies, or a flight search engine like Skyscanner, first.

Tanzania is the biggest country in East Africa so flying is one of the most popular options to get about with regular services to all main towns. All national parks have airstrips and there are several charter companies operating single- and twin-engine aircraft to any town or bush airfield or airstrip in the country. There are two main domestic airlines:
Coastal Air fly daily from Zanzibar to Dar and Selous, as well as other game parks using connecting flights. Their e-mail seems to work well.
Precision Air, who have now teamed up with Kenya Airways, have a similar network, with flights to and from Zanzibar to Arusha and Mombasa as well as Dar, kilimanjaro and Nairobi.
Zan Air flies to Dar, Selous, Arusha, Mombasa and Pemba.
There is another smaller regional airport in Arusha, in the North of the country, which is currently expanding:
Regional Air Services is based in Arusha and has scheduled services to Kilimanjaro, Zanzibar, Manyara, Seronera, Grumeti and Kleins Camp.
With the new Safari Aviation flights, it is possible to combine Katavi and Mahale with Selous and Ruaha using direct flights on Monday and Thursday.
Most itineraries will involve a mix of flying and driving (some lodges will have their own plane for charters) - and all is arranged for you by the safari operator.
Tanzania has a reasonable network of roads, in varying condition, connecting all major towns. Most minor roads are not all-weather, becoming impassable to all except 4-wheel-drive vehicles during the long rains in April and May. It is not advisable to drive at night because of wild animals, cattle and goats on the road. The frequent petrol shortages, the difficulty of finding spare parts and the number of road accidents mean that hiring a car (while available in all major cities) is more hassle than its worth. But if you are determined to hire one then see our car rental recommendations.
There is a twice-weekly restaurant car service by Tanzania - Zambia Railway Authority from Dar es Salaam to Kapiri Mposhi (Zambia). Tanzania Railways Corporation (TRC) provides the main services, including routes to northern Tanzania and a daily service from Dar es Salaam to Mwanza on Lake Victoria and Kigoma on Lake Tanganyika with a restaurant car.
Inexpensive buses connect most places; for example, there are services from Dar es Salaam to Arusha, Morogoro and Moshi. Visitors should avoid travelling by bus during the April/May rains. Scandinavia Express is a reliable and comfortable operator.
Visas are required by most nationalities and cost US$ 30-60 depending on your nationality; it is currently £38 for a single entry tourist visa from the UK (in 2009).
You are advised to obtain one before travelling by applying at least a month ahead to your local embassy. Some embassies have an online application form.
If there is no embassy or consulate in your country, or if it is last minute, you can usually buy a single-entry visa with USD cash on arrival at the airport.
According to all literature, tourist visas last 3 months, but when we visited, ours appeared to be stamped for 6 months.
You must hold a passport valid for at least 6 months after your departure date.

In addition to preventing mosquito bites, as far as possible, by using DEET-based repellent, wearing long sleeves (especially over your ankle and wrist joints), and sleeping under an intact mosquito net, you are strongly advised to take anti-malarial medication. Advice about recommended drugs changes from country to country and year to year, so you should check with your doctor for the latest. In the UK, doctors currently recommend the once-weekly lariam for most travellers, though this may have unpleasant side effects including depression and hallucination – try it out before you leave and see how you react (we suggest about 2 weeks before departure, in case you need to go on to something else). The chloroquine / paludrine daily / weekly combination is now considered fairly ineffective, but still prescribed for pregnant women, as other drugs may affect the foetus. Malarone, appears to have fewest side effects while remaining effective, but is considerably more expensive. Most drugs should be taken for 4 weeks after your return to a non-malarial zone.

Looks like no one had the time to review this place yet!
These conditions were defined by the Provider and are subject to change.
We have verified this property. We are still working on having the Landlord's contacts and documents fully verified.
Getting Around
Your new neighbourhood
Path to university
At Uniplaces we make the process of booking an apartment as easy as possible for both tenant and landlord.
That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.
We can only give you the contact details of your landlord after your booking is accepted. But we can guarantee that Uniplaces chooses the landlords it works with very carefully.
Besides, we've had students whose favourite part was living with a local!
Landlords and host families can be great city guides, help you out with translations and even become your friends.
As soon as your booking is accepted, you're given the landlord's contact details. Then, you can discuss all details directly with them, such as when you'll be moving-in.
Students move in and out at different times, so your flatmates might change during your stay.
It's a great opportunity to make new friends!
We personally speak to students who we place in Uniplaces apartments and are sure we will find the right place for you as well!
At the bottom of the property page, you have a calendar where you can see the availability of that room/apartment, according to the landlord.
But if you're still unsure about that we're happy to help.
Tell us your move-in and move-out dates and we will double-check if the place is available for you!
There are two different types of deposits: the Holding and Security deposits.
By clicking on "Deposit" at the bottom of the offer page you will get more information about each type of deposit.
In general, the deposit is paid to cover for any potential damages that may occur during your period of stay or will be used as rent compensation in case you leave earlier than originally planned.
If no damages occur and you leave on the agreed move-out date, your deposit should be refunded by the landlord in a way you both agree on.

I know that now with EZ pwn there is automated wep cracking but outa curiosity does airoscript no longer work or is that just me?
airoscript works fine, but you should really learn to use the other utilities to acheive a crack if you haven't already. Otherwise SpoonWEP is a VAST improvement over that script....
"The goal of every man should be to continue living even after he can no longer draw breath."
if your lazy and want something automated just use wesside-ng its quick and easy
Think outside the box
Always nice to try new things but for myself BT is new and I was just getting to understand the process involved & would like to master one lot of scripts and programs, along with understanding the process involved before moving to a new program. So is airoscript included in the BT3 Final & if not how do I add it? Good with MS but still learning Linux.
I agree that there are better ways to crack WEP with the introduction of the new tools in BT3. I did add airoscript to my BT3 as I was familiar with it and it allowed me to channel hop without setting config files or typing anything other then airoscript.sh. This is how I got airoscript working on my system. Download the script.
And now you can either initiate from here by this command.Code:bt~# wget hxxp://trac.aircrack-ng.org/browser/branch/airoscript/airoscript.sh?format=raw bt~# chmod +x airoscript.sh
Or you can do like I did and move my local bin directory.Code:bt~# ./airoscript.sh
And from here you can initiate it from any directory with this command.Code:bt~# mv airoscript.sh /usr/local/bin
Code:bt~# airoscript.sh

Another 6 Acres To Plant......
Another year has come and gone
Planting for Spring has already begun.
Sales continue to rise
Forcing us to increase in size.
Building new greenhouses just wasn't the plan
So we've decided to rent them from another man.
6 more acres we will need to maintain
Across the bridge we go in the rain.
In 2010 CONSTRUCTION won't give us a fear.
So I can shout from the roof tops "HAPPY NEW YEAR!"

North Pole Makeover - Santa's Apprentice
For the past 7 days, Darvonda has been searching high and low for the next APPRENTICE to bring the Santa Claus legacy into the modern times. High level brainstorming sessions with management have discovered that the following characteristics are ESSENTIAL if Santa is going to keep his standings in the POLLS.
Next, he must understand what the kids are talking about when they ask Santa for all those new fangled techy toys that are all the rage......Of course, the APPRENTICE must bear some RESEMBLANCE to Santa, since the children know EXACTLY what Santa looks like......And the final and most IMPORTANT aspect of Santa's APPRENTICE.........
the candidate must be able to grow his own WHISKERS!
The Wee One isn't too impressed with the FAKE BEARD that Danny Boneduce donned so I'm afraid he will not make the cut to be the next SANTA APPRENTICE.
The Big Guy and I really tried to help out Frosty in his search for the most suitable candidate, even taking some of the training into our own hands. We took the second SANTA APPRENTICE wanna-be out on the road to teach him the ropes of WAVING and HO HO HO'ing in the perfect SANTAish way. We believe in HANDS-ON trainging here at Darvonda!
So, rest assured my blogger friends, we are not going to let the little kiddies down. We promise to find the best APPRENTICE for Santa possible before Rudolph and the boys RETIRE. This extreme North Pole Makeover edition is in good hands!

No Such Thing as TOO MUCH CHRISTMAS!
I managed to get out and do a bit of Christmas Idea Shopping in the last two weeks which is probably the MOST FUN part of my job at Darvonda.Who wouldn't LOVE to go from garden center to garden center checking out what's available for Christmas this year?!
By the end of a trip like this is I always end up suffering from a little case of "ORNAMENT ENVY". I just want to be able to have such a great collection of ornaments to use around my house from year to year but........

Cast Your Burden......
Last night was a long night. It was bitterly cold and we had a drive motor BURN OUT on our sawdust burning boiler. That meant trouble! If the sawdust can't get to the boiler, the boiler won't run. If the boiler won't run, we have no heat in the greenhouse. No heat in the greenhouse means that all these little beauties could FREEZE!
So, that meant that the guys had to come up with some SOLUTIONS to our little PROBLEM. Unfortunately, the issue was discovered right around dinner time and no shops were open where we could possibly get a new drive motor. After much thought and consultation, a MACGYVER like contraption was built.........a rented drill keeps things turning and a fan keeps the motor cool.........straps and poles keep the drill in a stationary position.......it's an ugly looking temporary fix but it seemed to work.
But, it did mean that the boiler had to be babysat ALL NIGHT LONG. The Wee One wanted to go sit with Grampa a while......... but her mother told her that it was bed time. "Aaaaaaw, come on MOM! Can't I go sit with Grampa?! He's lonely sitting out there all by himself!"
It's at times like these that Tamara gets to thinking. She starts thinking deep.......very deep. So last night as I lay in my bed all alone I started thinking about this drive motor that has been running all night, every night for many years, faithfully bringing the sawdust to the boiler. Regular as clock work. I thought "Who knew there was a motor that was running all night, every night which was so ESSENTIAL to our business?". I had really taken this special motor for granted.
Then I thought even DEEPER.......uh oh, watch out people.......she's thinking really deep now! I thought "Now the Big Guy has to sit beside the boiler all night long to make sure that it keeps running. But there are HUNDREDS of motors all over the greenhouses......WHO is gonna watch THOSE?!"
It's at times like these that I am reminded that WE can't watch all those motors....... or keep all our drivers SAFE on the slippery winter roads........ or even make people buy our plants if they don't want to. It's times like these that I realize I must "cast my burden" on my Saviour, Jesus Christ. What a RELIEF that I'm not in charge!
Now, just one more thing I want to share today. Last weekend a vibrant, young couple, Darcie and Gavin, full of joy and anticipation of their upcoming summer wedding, were taken to be with the Lord in a devastating motor vehicle accident in Owen Sound, Ontario. Darcie, this beautiful young lady, used to work here at Darvonda. Her MEGA WATT smile was such a joy to be around. We grieve along with their families and friends but we are comforted in knowing that WE are NOT IN CHARGE!
This morning I was reading from Psalm 139 with the kids before they rushed off to school and it gave me great comfort. I hope you don't mind if I share a portion with you here.
"Thou knowest when I sit down and when I rise up;
thou discernest my thoughts from afar.
Thou searchest out my path and my lying down,
and art acquainted with all my ways.
Even before a word is on my tongue,
lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.
Thou dost beset me behind and before,
and layest thy hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
it is high, I cannot attain it"
May our gracious Lord give comfort to all those grieving the loss of a loved one and may we always cast our burdens upon Him.

My Sister Married A REAL Man!
I just REALIZED that I have never introduced all my blogger peeps to my brother-in-law, Davey Crocket. I feel just TERRIBLE to have left such an important introduction out for such a long time. I mean, Davey is such a unique character. EVERYONE should meet him one day. I need to remedy my blogging FAUX PAS right now, people.
This weekend the Big Guy and I stopped by my sister's place in Edmonton to extend her and Davey Crocket our congratulations on their 25th wedding anniversary. This is where you can normally find Davey when you go visit, out on the back porch smoking a hand rolled cigarette in -34 degree temperatures, reading a book and hanging with his beloved dog, Jada.
He sits outside in -34 degree weather to smoke because he loves my sister SOOOO much and she has asthma. Smoking makes her cough uncontrollably. He sits outside in wind and rain, snow and sleet, just so my sister won't be bothered by his manly activity. What a SWEETY!
My brother-in-law, just like the real Davey Crocket, also loves to HUNT. He enjoys sitting out in the woods, quietly rustling the branches and small trees with his "rack" to attract the elk towards him. He's patient........he's quiet.........he always gets his ELK!
The Big Guy and I were fascinated with the idea that Davey Crocket had 3 elk hanging in his garage and we couldn't resist checking them out. Now, don't forget people, it was -34 degrees in Edmonton and we come from BC where it never gets down to -34. It was rotten COLD in that garage. The elk were frozen solid......and within seconds so were we! Davey took some time to tell us the story of exactly how he and his friends bagged these beauties but we couldn't handle the sub-zero temperatures. It wasn't long and we dragged him back inside to finish the tale over a nice bottle of red wine.
We had a great time at Rosa's place this weekend, especially since Lisa, my other sister, came out for the occasion as well. You see, it was HER 25th wedding anniversary too......because they got married on the same day in a double ceremony! I was the bridesmaid. That's back in the days when BIG hair was REALLY BIG!
Congratulations guys and thanks for the great time!.

Gator Women Drop Tough One
After falling behind early, The Gator Women's Basketball Team pushed Vanderbilt throughout the contest making a couple of runs at times (evening the score at 30 early in the 2nd half), but ended up falling 65-55 to see its record drop to 3-3 in the SEC, 14-7 overall.
The Gators connected on 45.5-percent from the field for a 42.6-percent overall effort, but connected on just 2 of 18 three-pointers. Florida also turned the ball over 23 times (to Vandy's 18), including 13 in the first half and connected on 14 of 25 free throw attempts.
Marshae Dotson dominated at times in the post scoring 12 of her 16 points in the 2nd half. Sharielle Smith added 9 points, while Sha Brooks added 8 points.
Florida hosts traditional SEC and national power LSU Sunday at 12pm on the O'Connell Center.

The symptoms are much the same as those of pericarditis, and it is difficult to discriminate between the two affections.
Inflammation, as in pericarditis, inflammation of the pericardium.
Inflammation of this sac, or pericarditis, is apt to occur as a result of rheumatism, more especially in children.
It is more especially when pericarditis complicates rheumatic polyarthritis that pulmonary affections occur.
Endocarditis is probably more frequent than pericarditis, and the aortic are more liable than the other valves to suffer.
Purpura rheumatica never seems to result in endo- or pericarditis.
pericarditis is occasionally present, and is marked by the usual lesions.
pericarditis is much less common; it is most likely to occur with cancer of the cardia.
In pleurisy with effusion and in pericarditis with effusion there is hypotension.
The whiteness of the heart would have been due to the fibrinous layer of lymph on its surface, from the pericarditis.
pericarditis per·i·car·di·tis (pěr'ĭ-kär-dī'tĭs)
Inflammation of the pericardium.

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
This goliath ice rink just east of the Seal Beach Naval Weapons Depot is a mecca for aspiring hockey players and figure skaters. And for the more adventuresome, there are weekly curling classes and pickup games. The rink, which opened in 2001, is a sister facility to Anaheim Ice, which is the practice rink for the Anaheim Ducks. (In fact, the pro-shop link on the Westminster facility homepage actually takes you to the Anaheim pro shop.) As with the Anaheim rink, you can rent skates here, but if you're in the market for your own stuff, the pro shop is well-stocked with a wide selection of hockey and figure-skating gear: sticks, helmets, protective pads—even those cute zebra-patterned blade protectors. The young staff is well-trained in fitting you or your kid with the right skates and will sharpen your blades while you wait.
Cats are the perfect pet. You leave them alone; they leave you alone. Unless they are hungry, in which case, yours will glide between your ankles, purring that gentle "Feed me now or I'll swallow your breath as you sleep" type of purr. But a pet store? A neighbor's litter? That's promoting overpopulation, buddy. Instead, adopt the perfect pet relinquished by a previous owner to this nonprofit, "no-kill" shelter that was founded in 1968. Legend has it future humane officer C. Richard Calore was hunkered down in a foxhole in France during World War II when a kitty ambled up and helped to keep him warm overnight. (He knew it was a cat and not a fox because it gently purred, "Feed me now or I'll swallow your breath as you sleep.") Calore vowed thereafter to help cats the rest of his days, and his widow, Gerri, carries on as vice president of public relations.
Have you ever gotten the feeling as you walk into a thrift store that the value implied by the sale of secondhand products just isn't there? Have you ever spent $17 on a pre-owned printed T-shirt? If yes, you got hosed, and the fat-cat store owner is chuckling smugly. But hark, on the horizon, striding atop a white horse, comes the Assistance League. The nationwide charitable organization operates several secondhand thrift stores—including a facility in Costa Mesa—that sell used clothing at honest prices. A pair of slacks might set you back $5, a new parka $20. But the reason the league makes our list isn't the prices, but rather its dedication to local underprivileged schoolchildren. With the money earned at its stores, the Assistance League funds a program providing basic dental services to kids who can't afford them. Among the several other services it offers is a program called Operation School Bell, which provides clothing to needy children.
You know the feeling of finding something you never knew you wanted, but once you see it, you realize you can't live without it? Stray Cat Vintage & Costumes is full of knickknacks like that. It's a regular-sized store in downtown Fullerton filled with everything from bootleg records to jewelry, wigs, Santa Claus outfits, stickers and DVDs. Of course, there's also vintage clothing, organized by era—from as far back as the 1800s to the 1980s. The space also houses a music store called Black Hole, smack-dab in the middle of Stray Cat so that effluvium of beloved '80s icons (Morrissey DVDs, Madonna headbands, vinyl signed by the Misfits) spills over into clothing racks. Crammed with everything you could ever want (or not), this space is probably ideal for getting shopper's fatigue—who wants to buy everything in sight, even if you could?
Despite the untimely death of well-loved owner Pete Toulios earlier this year, one of Long Beach's favorite boutiques remains open for business. If you're looking for rock & roll gear for your 3-year-old—take your pick from the Sublime, Kiss and Grateful Dead onesies (these will set you back around $20 or so) or the Bob Marley "One Love" T-shirts (also about $20)—this is the place for you. There's a large collection of devil-themed bric-a-brac, including rubber ducks, and some decidedly non-satanic vintage-era toys and retro clothing for those leery of paying sartorial homage to Beelzebub. About the size of a barbershop, the storefront is conveniently located next to a pair of über-hip Vintage Row clothiers for mom and dad. The eclectic selection will keep your toddler looking cool all year. You fucking hipster.
Staffers at Dee Lux are choosy about which used designer threads they buy. They get their denim from such labels as Hudson Jeans, Seven for All Mankind and J Brand, and they specialize in straight- to skinny-leg jeans in dark and light washes, distressed, and work-wear trousers. Discerning shoppers know they're getting high style in the $20 to $80 price range. You can find both current and vintage dresses, blouses, shoes and T-shirts from bands such as the Doors, the Beatles and the Smiths. There are fashionista-friendly bargains on everything from jewelry and other accessories to all-season outerwear. The attentive employees organize the goods and cater to the hip bargain hunter's every need. Ladies aren't the only ones to benefit from the spacious store's fab inventory, either. Up front, men can shop for their favorite flannel button-down or American Apparel T-shirt. You can trade your extra clothing for 35 percent cash or 50 percent store credit. It's definitely great bang for your buck.

Suspended pitcher Carlos Zambrano still hasn't talked with Chicago Cubs general manager Jim Hendry or manager Lou Piniella following his outburst Friday, and the parties are waiting for input from Major League Baseball and the Players' Association on the length of his suspension.
"I think until something gets rectified, probably the less conversation the better," Piniella said before Sunday's game.
Hendry said he has spoken with Zambrano's agent, Barry Praver, several times and expects to hear from MLB after its discussions with the MLBPA "in the next day or so."
Piniella said Zambrano, who erupted at teammates in the dugout after giving up four runs in the first inning against the White Sox, would pitch out of the bullpen when he returns and he needs to square the situation with his fellow players.
"He's going to have to talk to his teammates to tell them that that wasn't good and he seeks their (acceptance of his) apology," Piniella said.
Hendry wouldn't comment on the possibility of anger management sessions for the former ace: "We've been down anger issues before."
The GM and manager were not happy Zambrano kept his dinner appointment with White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen after Friday's game. "I would think in those types of circumstances ... better judgment would have kept you home that night," Hendry said.
Piniella said he was too embarrassed to go out to dinner with his wife and daughter.

'Kim Kardashian's Vag Stars on E!' And Other Celebrity News No One Cares About
The rumors are true – the camera does add 10 pounds to birth canals. Just ask Kim Kardashian, who decided to record her birth. Baby daddy Kanye West did not want a camera crew in the birthing room, so he chose the next best thing: Kim's momager, Kris Jenner.
Like any mother would, Kris loyally stood behind the camera to film her daughter, spreadeagle and delivering a tiny human who has been officially named Kaidence Donda West. Klassic Kim!

"I don't get no protection!" might well be the theme song for soccer's star players. It is a theme that is very much in the air at the moment. Alex Ferguson has complained that English referees are not doing enough to protect Cristiano Ronaldo, and that the Portuguese star is being systematically fouled. "It has become a tactic," says Ferguson, "someone fouls him, then someone else."
In Italy, AC Milan's vice president Adriano Galliani had similar things to say about the way that the team's young Brazilian star Pato was being mauled. "He is being scientifically targeted the moment he steps on the field," says Galliani. The defenders who kick Pato, says Galliani, are hoping that he will then "become a peripheral figure" in the game.
This weekend, Christopher Sullivan on Fox Soccer Channel remarked, after Columbus' Gino Padula was red-carded for a foul on Cuauhtemoc Blanco that "You've got to protect a player like Blanco . . ."
So - is that right? Are there special players who should get special treatment? Yes ... and no. The problem with the case as set out by Ferguson, Galliani and Sullivan is that it is like to arouse more opposition than support.
To single out individuals like Ronaldo or Pato makes it sound as though these guys are somehow fragile, and that they should be entitled to a level of referee protection that is not offered to the other players.
From what I know of soccer people - or maybe it's just people in general - that argument will never gain widespread acceptance. In fact, it's far more likely to stir up antagonism toward the star players, with people regarding them as cry-babies and prima donnas who should stop whining and learn to abide by the same rules as everyone else.
Indeed, they should. But at the same time they definitely DO need more protection. For the simple reason that they tend to be fouled more often, and more dangerously. Their situation is quite different from that of an aggressive defender or a rugged midfielder, who are likely to revel in physical play.
The Ronaldos and the Patos and the Blancos have other things on their mind, creative things -- and these are frequently things that involve ball trickery, often dribbling. That makes them vulnerable to fouling. A defender who merely heads or kicks the ball away each time it comes anywhere near him is rarely, if ever, under threat of being fouled - particularly from behind.
Even so, those defenders and those midfielders should - along with Ronaldo & Co - receive the same treatment from the referee. They should all be "protected."
Galliani made a lot of sense when he said: "Defenders have always kicked forwards, but the treatment dealt out to Pato is a little excessive. But it's up to the referees to see if things are legal or not. Referees shouldn't protect anyone, but they have to put the brakes on violent play . . ."
That gets to the heart of the matter. Instead of a plea for special treatment for special players, the appeal should be asking referees to simply enforce the rules. As currently written, the rules give a referee totally adequate power to clamp down on violent play, and to punish the offenders.
The problem with most current refereeing is that it seems to be constantly looking for ways to lessen punishment, to make out that fouls were not really bad, or maybe not fouls at all, or worse -- that, as the defender didn't foul, the attacker must have dived. Ferguson raised that point, and it is a massive one. If you have any doubts about it, try to watch a tape of Saturday's Manchester United vs. Tottenham game.
You will see there three incidents involving Ronaldo. In two of them, Ronaldo was clattered to the ground by violent "challenges" from Benoit Assou-Ekotto. Referee Howard Webb did not call either foul. But the worst moment came just six minutes into the game when Spurs midfielder Wilson Palacios raced toward Ronaldo and leaped violently at him, both feet well off the ground, all his studs showing. Had Ronaldo not hopped out of the way, he would surely now be in a hospital bed. But Webb allowed play to continue -- presumably playing advantage. That was a questionable call anyway, but Webb should have given Palacios at least a yellow at the next stoppage. He didn't.
Of course players should not dive. But when they are repeatedly and dangerously fouled without any action from a lenient referee, the temptation to do so becomes understandable. It is up to the referees to dish out more cards, more quickly. Enough of this "verbal caution" nonsense -- something that has no basis in the rulebook -- these cozy little chats that merely allow the thugs one more chance to maim someone.
Sadly, current refereeing practice permits violent play to an extent that applying the rules as they should be applied now looks like special treatment.
But it is not special treatment, or special protection, that Ronaldo and Pato and Blanco should get. All that's needed is for the referees to stop the pussyfooting around and the little warning chats and the pro-defender calls and instead to nail the fouls and give the cards. Really, you know, asking a referee to stick to the rulebook should not be asking too much, now should it?

The National Association of Basketball Coaches, which has 5000 members, has created a student success program called Stay in to Win to help middle school and high school students focus on making good academic, career, and personal choices. The purpose of the program is to help all students focus on making important decisions that will help them become more successful in school and impact the overall quality of their life.
Recently, members of the Marist Men's Basketball team visited Poughkeepsie Middle School on to speak on behalf of the program. The players joined together with the middle school teachers and administrators to motivate and encourage students, particularly those at risk of dropping out, to stay in school to graduation. The players communicated the value of effective decision-making skills and the impact that academic, career, and personal decisions made now will have on their futures. The middle school students were encouraged to develop success teams to help them overcome obstacles and success plans to guide them as they make the educational and career decisions that will direct their lives.
This was an eye-opening experience for everyone involved, as such, the team and Poughkeepsie Middle School are working on making this an annual event. The wheels were also set in motion about having the players and students come back and spend time with smaller groups of middle school students working on the Stay in to Win workbooks and sharing experiences.
On Monday, March 25, the Men's Basketball team went back to Poughkeepsie Middle School. Tourron Whitfield, Phillip Lawrence, and T.J. Curry met with seven eighth grade students. The student-athletes spent an hour with the eighth graders discussing academics and athletics, as well as completing exercises and activities in the Stay in to Win guidebooks that the students received during the earlier assembly.

I'll say this about both QBs. Both of those mother fuckers will come into your house and snatch your heart out in the fourth quarter, in zero degree weather if they have to.
on the safety in the SB.
But Joe was in the clutch every time and in
freezing weather in Denver where Manning wilted. The game really wasn't as close as the score even after blowing all those points in the 3rd qtr.
Joe still took them down the field in the 4th qtr and iced the game with those FGs, just like Namath in
Your only as good as your next game....
You're only as good as a subjective evaluation of your prior history, current talent, and untapped potential as expressed by the system you play in with the talent around you says you are to each individual attempting to rate you.
But that's not nearly as catchy.

The Social Justice and Human Rights concentration in the Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies program is designed to cultivate in students a deep theoretical understanding of the social, political, cultural, historical, and economic implications of a wide array of social injustices and human rights issues while also engaging students in the applied process of imagining and actualizing holistic and complex strategies for creating and sustaining a more equitable, just, and humane world. Required courses in the concentration draw on interdisciplinary, global, and integrative sources of knowledge and experience derived from movements for social justice (such as racial justice and feminist movements), environmental justice, animal rights, and human rights. Students consider the ways in which these issues and movements intersect while critically examining the processes and institutions established to promote and protect individual and group rights.
The concentration was constructed by an interdisciplinary team of faculty based on a vision that combines the most contemporary theoretical and philosophical frameworks, such as intersectionality and meta-intersectionality theory, queer theory, and critical race theory, with the knowledge and strategies of past and present change-makers. Because the program is based at George Mason University, just outside Washington, DC, students have opportunities to meet and engage with on-the-ground social justice and human rights activists and advocates who are putting contemporary understandings of social change into action on the biggest social justice issues of the day.
In addition to taking a small number of core courses, students have the opportunity to shape their program around their social justice and human rights interests. They do so by working with a faculty advisor to develop a focus area "track" which they complete by choosing from a broad campus-wide catalog of courses. These tracks can be based on a specific social justice or human rights issue, such as racial justice, educational rights, (dis)ability rights, indigenous rights, animal rights, or the abolition of human trafficking, or a regional context such as the Middle East, Central Europe, East Africa, Central America, or Southeast Asia.
Electives are chosen from a wide variety of programs including Education, Government, Conflict Analysis and Resolution, Sociology, Public Policy, College Teaching, and Women and Gender Studies.
Upon completing required coursework, students may choose to complete either an applied project or a thesis on a topic of their interest.

Target: David Holl, CEO of Mary Kay, Inc.
Goal: Urge Mary Kay to resume its former ban on animal testing and to adopt a more transparent consumer policy in the meantime.
The good news: for two decades, May Kay Cosmetics was cruelty-free. The bad news: the globally-recognized company has recently resumed its animal testing due to governmental regulations in China. However, the company is still promoting itself as cruelty-free. Tell Mary Kay that animal testing is unacceptable—and so is deliberately misleading consumers. Sign the petition urging Mary Kay to re-adopt its cruelty-free policy and to be honest and up-front with consumers in the future.
While Mary Kay is technically correct in its assertion that it does not conduct animal testing, what it really means is that it does not conduct the tests itself. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) reports that Mary Kay instead contracts out to the Chinese government to do the tests that are legally required in China.
Animal rights advocates and scientists alike are calling on China to change its animal testing policy. In the meantime, however, Mary Kay is using consumer dollars to promote animal testing while explicitly claiming the opposite. This is not only a tragedy for the animals involved but also a shady and dishonest marketing claim.
Mary Kay needs to hear from people like you. Sign the petition and tell Mary Kay that you know about and disagree with their animal testing, and urge the company to re-adopt its cruelty-free business practices.
Dear Mr. Holl,
Mary Kay has always been proud of its reputation as a cruelty-free company. So why is it funding animal testing by the Chinese government?
Animal testing is a needlessly cruel ordeal. Furthermore, animal tests are usually easily replaceable with cruelty-free testing procedures. Although the Chinese government currently requires animal testing of cosmetics, it is extremely disappointing that Mary Kay would choose to go along with such a policy instead of sticking to its principles and refusing. Since when did the bottom line become more important than the health, safety, and lives of living creatures?
Additionally, Mary Kay's current animal testing policy is at odds with the cruelty-free image it presents to its consumers. Mary Kay customers have a right to know that their purchases are supporting animal testing, even if Mary Kay is not conducting the tests itself.
Please do right by both test animals and your customers—adopt a more transparent consumer policy and reaffirm your cruelty-free promise.
[Your Name Here]

Frank says President Barack Obama's support for gay marriage helped

Voters on Tuesday elected at least six
and as many as seven openly LGBT candidates to Congress, including
the nation's first senator, and handed wins to gay marriage
supporters in four states.
"It's a significant increase. And
then to win all four of the referenda? It was very good news."
"I think what it shows is that
reality beats prejudice. When you're fighting against
discrimination, you're in a kind of a vicious cycle. People are
prejudiced so you can't change the law, and because you can't change
the law, there's no way to break the prejudice. In other words,
people are told same-sex marriage will cause all these terrible
problems. Once you have same-sex marriage, it's very clear it causes
zero problems. So trying to break out of that cycle is important.
But we've now, I think, reached critical mass to break out of that
"There's another important factor:
Barack Obama won a tough race, and the fact that he supported
same-sex marriage almost certainly helped him and didn't hurt him.
There was no sign that coming out for same-sex marriage in any way
hurt Barack Obama," Frank
