CHICAGO – The Republican field for the 2014 Illinois governor's race began to crystalize Monday as two candidates announced their running mates through social media just before the first day that candidate petitions can be circulated.
Illinois Treasurer Dan Rutherford announced through Twitter that Chicago attorney Steve Kim is his lieutenant governor pick, while state Sen. Kirk Dillard used Instagram to announce he'd chosen state Rep. Jil Tracy of Quincy.
For days, Rutherford had been dropping Twitter hints about the 42-year-old attorney who lives in the Chicago suburb of Northbrook. Kim has served as a Northfield township trustee and unsuccessfully challenged Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan in 2010.
"He comes from having been on the statewide stage before," Rutherford told The Associated Press. The Chenoa Republican said his first priority was choosing someone who could succeed him if he wins. Rutherford said he would release more details Thursday at a news conference.
Dillard posted the news in a laid back Instagram video — he's wearing a Chicago Bears jersey — where he describes Tracy as "a respected business woman and respected legislator."
The Hinsdale Republican was set to go on a statewide fly around with Tracy on Tuesday — the first day that candidate petitions can be circulated. Tracy first took office in 2006 and serves on a bipartisan pension panel tasked with coming up with a solution to the state's nearly $100 billion crisis.
"It is very exciting to join the ticket as your running mate for lieutenant governor, looking forward to working side by side with you for this great state," she says in her own short Instagram video.
The other gubernatorial candidates have said they're not in a rush to make their choices public, including Republican venture capitalist Bruce Rauner of Winnetka and Chicago Democrats, Gov. Pat Quinn and his Democratic challenger, former White House chief of staff Bill Daley. Republican Sen. Bill Brady of Bloomington said Monday that it'll be a few more weeks before he announces a choice.
It's the first time that candidates for governor will run with their lieutenant governor choices. The change when it was revealed after the 2010 primary that the Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor — Scott Lee Cohen — had past troubles including domestic battery charge. Cohen dropped out after pressure from Democratic leaders, who feared it would hurt Quinn.
Rutherford said he considered Kim's business experience and his background.
Kim is a managing partner at Rosenberg Kim & Jimenez, Ltd., which does international and trade law and business development law, among other areas. Kim is also Korean American. He immigrated with his family as a young boy and is a U.S. citizen.
Rutherford said Kim has the ability to reach out to Illinois' diverse residents, particularly the growing Asian population.
"We're a state where there is a very strong and vital immigrant community," Kim said, adding that his family's immigration story was one that would resonate with many groups.
Kim declined to talk specifics on where he stands on issues, like gay marriage, saying that he still formulating his opinions.
He said his focus is improving Illinois' business climate.
"I understand how to create jobs," he said. "I strongly believe the climate in Illinois is not right now best suited for jobs and economic growth. We can change that."

"These people are fabulous"
By Dr Quinn from Clearwater
Having worked at LLBean, I know what stellar customer service looks like and this company took the blue ribbon! The blinds I ordered were too wide. I guess I misjudeged altho I did it three of four times. I did discover that the distance when measured at the window was off from measured well below the winodw. Who knew? In any case, I called distressed and didn't know how I could get this huge blind returned etc etc. I had the most helpful woman who patiently walked me through measuring and measuring again. And then when the blinds arrive for the Lanai, one didn't fit either and George helped me through that one. When they say they have a 100% guarantee...they mean. it! It was a joy to work with them...and certainly will do all my business with them in the future. Plus, a company that is that responsive and helpful and generous...needs to be applauded so others can know and they can profit. They deserve it!View this product

Col. Msgr. Francis Walter Montondon, 1931-2012
Col. Msgr. Francis Walter Montondon, 81, of Port Arthur, Texas, passed away on Sunday, Dec. 9, 2012 at Rose House in Port Arthur.
The dual titles reflected the reality of Msgr. Montondon's life. He was a Roman Catholic priest appointed by Pope Benedict XVI as Prelate of Honor to His Holiness with the right to the title of Reverend Monsignor.
For 23 of his 52 years as a priest, Msgr. Montondon was a military chaplain. He served in the Army, rising to the rank of colonel. He served two tours of duty in Vietnam and was awarded the Soldier's Medal and the Bronze Star with one Oak Leaf Cluster, which indicates he was awarded it on two occasions. He was also stationed in Germany for two tours and served his last four years of active duty at Fort Myer in Arlington, Va.
He was born on Sept. 13, 1931, to C.J. Montondon and Mary Alice Breaux Montondon in Port Arthur. Walter Montondon graduated from Bishop Byrne High School. He was ordained May 31, 1957 by Bishop W. J. Nold of The Galveston-Houston Diocese and served in the Galveston-Houston diocese from 1957-66. From 1966-2012, he served under the Beaumont diocese. During his years as a priest in Southeast Texas, he served at St. Pius X, Beaumont, and St. Charles Borromeo, Nederland. At the age of 35, he sought and obtained permission from the Bishop to join the Army.
Walter was a member of the Knights of Columbus and Dick Dowling Assembly of the Fourth Degree, where he served as Faithful Friar for many years.
He was preceded in death by his parents.
He is survived by his two brothers, James Montondon and wife Delores of Bridge City, Texas and Rusty Montondon and wife Nancy of Port Arthur, Texas, with numerous nieces and nephews.
Visitation will be Thursday, Dec. 13, 2012, at St. James Catholic Church in Port Arthur from 6-8 p.m. with a Rosary to be prayed at 6:30 p.m. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11 a.m. Friday, Dec. 14, 2012, at St. James Catholic Church with Bishop Curtis Guillory, SVD serving as main celebrant along with fellow priests from the Diocese of Beaumont. Interment will be at a later date in Arlington National Cemetery. Clayton-Thompson Funeral Home is handling the arrangements.
Special thanks to Dr. Townsend at Christus Hospital St. Mary, to Vivian, Rosie, Daniel, Dana, and to the staff at Rose House and Harbor Hospice.
In lieu of flowers, please make memorial contributions to Catholic Charities of The Diocese of Beaumont or to the Wounded Warrior Project.

Yup its true apple built a version of OS X for the x86 platform. There not planning to release it its just there as a worst case scenario thing. Kind of a pity I think that lots of people would be willing to buy OS X if it wasn't tied in with the over priced hardware. Sure I-Macs look cool but in my opinion they fall short in every other area compared to a cheap dell or Compaq. Come to think of it apple is kind of like Microsoft with out the monopoly. Only after being ported to x86 could OS X be a serious contender to Microsoft. Unless of course Microsoft owns apple witch wouldn't surprise me.
Any ways one of the more interesting things I've read this week defiantly worth a look.
find it here: http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,496270,00.asp
As Apple Computer Inc. draws up its game plan for the CPUs that will power its future generations of Mac hardware, the company is holding an ace in the hole: a feature-complete version of Mac OS X running atop the x86 architecture.
According to sources, the Cupertino, Calif., Mac maker has been working steadily on maintaining current, PC-compatible builds of its Unix-based OS. The project (code-named Marklar, a reference to the race of aliens on the "South Park" cartoons) has been ongoing inside Apple since the early days of its transition to the Unix-based Mac OS X in the late '90s.
Sources said more than a dozen software engineers are tasked to Marklar, and the company's mainstream Mac OS X team is regularly asked to modify code to address bugs that crop up when compiling the OS for x86. Build numbers keep pace with those of their pre-release PowerPC counterparts; for example, Apple is internally running a complete, x86-compatible version of Jaguar, a k a Mac OS X 10.2, which shipped last week.
Apple did not return calls requesting comment.
But a switch to Intel or Advanced Micro Devices Inc. processors is probably not in the cards for tomorrow's Macs, sources said. Such a move would require a massive revision of Apple's closed hardware architecture and a fundamental rethinking of its business model, which is founded on tight integration between its proprietary system software and hardware. Apple would have to also coax most of its third-party developers to rewrite their applications from the ground up in the company's Cocoa application environment. (Most major vendors have instead tuned their applications to Carbon, a set of Mac OS X-compatible APIs originally culled from the classic Mac OS and rooted in the PowerPC architecture.)
Nevertheless, Marklar has apparently gained strategic relevance in recent months, as Apple's relationship with Motorola has grown strained and Apple looks to alternative chip makers.
Apple has reportedly been dissatisfied with the slow rate of Motorola's PowerPC development after committing to the PowerPC G4 as the centerpiece of its current desktops and professional laptop systems. The Power Mac G4 systems Apple unveiled in August topped off with a dual-1.25GHz system, a disappointing increase from the dual-GHz top model released in January. Meanwhile, users have debated whether the DDR support in the new systems is fully exploited by the G4 processors Motorola was able to provide.
The likeliest solution to the Motorola impasse, sources said: A desktop version of the 64-bit Power4 server chip in the works from IBM, which co-developed the PowerPC platform alongside Motorola and Apple and has provided CPUs for a variety of Macs. Sources told eWEEK that Apple and IBM are collaborating closely to equip the Power4 with the Altivec vector-processing capabilities built into the PowerPC G4. IBM is expected to discuss its new CPU at October's Microprocessor Forum.
As it weighs the future of the Mac as a PowerPC platform, Marklar offers a relatively low-cost way of keeping the company's options open. "It's a hedge," one observer said. "It's a small price to pay to make sure Apple has a fallback plan."
"Steve [Jobs] has said Mac OS X is the OS for the next 15 years," another source said. "Marklar is a way of making sure that's true."
Jobs himself has hinted that Apple won't be constrained by the PowerPC alliance if better options present themselves. The Apple CEO renewed speculation about Apple's hardware future with remarks he made at a July meeting with analysts. "Between Motorola and IBM, the roadmap looks pretty decent," Jobs said. However, he said that after early 2003 (when he forecast the transition to Mac OS X would be complete), the company will re-examine its processor partnerships. "We'll have options, and we like to have options"
At the company's shareholder meeting in April, however, Jobs asserted that Apple has "no plans" for a switch to Intel. When a shareholder argued that a move could be beneficial to the company, Jobs replied, "That is an opinion."
Despite its current PowerPC pedigree, Mac OS X's roots tap Intel hardware. In December 1996, Apple acquired NeXT Software Inc. and its Intel-compatible OpenStep operating system. Under the company's "Rhapsody" OS strategy, it planned to base the next-generation Mac OS on OpenStep, shipping an Intel version to provide a cross-platform development environment. While developer previews of Rhapsody for Intel were released, it was never shipped to customers and quietly left the limelight as Apple's software strategy was refined into today's OS X.
Apple's current efforts come nearly a decade after the company grounded its "Star Trek" program, a collaboration with Novell to develop the Mac's System 7 on Intel microprocessors. While a working prototype was put together in just three months, interest from PC vendors never materialized. In 1993 the project was rolled into Apple's Advanced Technology Group before it fell victim to budget cuts.

Cleveland kidnapping: Race, guns and a heroic neighbor
Without question, Charles Ramsey is a character. The Ohio man who rescued Amanda Berry from years of captivity gave an epic television interview on Tuesday in which he delivered what is surely one of the most brilliant lines ever uttered on national television: "Bro, I knew something was wrong when a little pretty white girl ran into a black man's arms. Something is wrong here. Dead giveaway."
In one comical comment, delivered with nods and a smile, Ramsey said a lot about race in America. We all knew what he meant. Knowing laughter rang out from those around Ramsey.
When I heard his remark, I laughed - and gasped that he had the nerve to say it. Throughout his interviews, Ramsey, a dishwasher at a Cleveland restaurant, has shown a lot of nerve. But he has shown an equal amount of character (no matter what documents have surfaced about Ramsey's criminal record).
Ramsey said he heard someone screaming for help at the house next door. He didn't walk away. He went over to help. More remarkable was why. "I figured it was a domestic-violence dispute," he told Cleveland's NewsChannel5. Most people would walk away, thinking it too dangerous to get involved or that the dispute is none of their business.
Asked by CNN's Anderson Cooper how he felt about being a "hero," Ramsey demurred as a real hero would: "No, no, no. Bro, I'm a Christian, an American. I'm just like you. We bleed same blood, put our pants on the same way. It's just that you got to put that - being a coward, and I don't want to get in nobody's business. You got to put that away for a minute."
When asked about a possible reward, Ramsey told Cooper he isn't interested. "I tell you what you do, give it to them [the women]. Because if folks been following this case since last night . . . you know I got a job anyway. Just went picked it up, paycheck. . . . So yes, take that reward and give it to" them, he said.
Democratic strategist and commentator Zerlina Maxwell tweeted on Wednesday, "If anything Charles Ramsey proves that bystander intervention WORKS and u don't need any special training to do it." To which @RobMyers1968 added, "(A)nd Charles Ramsey did it without a gun!"
And he did it seemingly without fear or thought to his personal safety. We need more neighbors willing to act as Charles Ramsey did. We all could stand to be more like that.

Town twinning
The Woking Town Twinning Association is an independent organisation responsible for town twinning in Woking with membership open to all.
Woking has three twin towns: Amstelveen in the Netherlands which has been twinned since 1983 (formal Charter 1989), Le Plessis-Robinson in France which has been a twin town since 1992 (formal Charter 1993), and Rastatt - a city bordering the Rhine in South West Germany which has been twinned since the late 1990s (formal Charter 2001).
Town twinning enables contacts, friendships and a special relationship between two communities of different countries to be formed. It promotes understanding about different cultures and lifestyles and encourages the exchange of views and ideas. It can also stimulate trade and business links. Local Groups and organisations, individuals and families can all take advantage of the chance to visit their counterparts or host visits in Woking to learn more about each other's communities and share experiences.
Twinning developed after the Second World War, when there was a movement to promote friendship and understanding and avert the dangers of hostility between countries. Twinning has spread rapidly, especially in Europe, and has helped to promote European integration.
The twinning experience is open to people of all ages and interests. Hospitality is provided by the host country during visits with visitors usually staying in family homes.
Woking's Dutch twin Amstelveen was established in 1278, and now has a population of 75,892 with two thirds of dwellings having been built since 1960. The City is located seven miles south of Amsterdam, and very close to Europe's fourth airport, Schipol International. The City is currently undergoing a major redevelopment but retains a very green environment. It has many educational and sporting facilities and an important business community.
Woking's French twin town, Le Plessis-Robinson, dates back to at least the 9th Century and now has a population of 21,300. It is located six kilometres to the south west of Paris, and is very close to international airports. A new town centre has been constructed but many green areas have been retained. Famous residents from the 17th Century include Colbert and Pierre de Montesquiou d'Artagnan, who was the cousin of Dumas' famous hero. In 1848, the idea of having tree restaurants or 'guinguettes' commenced. This idea spread rapidly and was accompanied by widespread dancing and dining on Sundays. The tradition died out earlier this century but has recently been revived in the form of an annual festival.
There are many links which have been formed with Le Plessis-Robinson between schools, clubs and the business community.
In April 2001, Woking Borough twinned with Rastatt in Germany. Rastatt is a vibrant city located in South West Germany, bordered by the Rhine and the Black Forest. The city was first mentioned in the middle ages and today has a population of 46,000. The central pedestrian area is rich in Baroque architecture, a fine example of which is Rastatt Palace, the residence of Margrave Ludwig Wilhelm von Baden.

Mayor's Office
The City Parks and Recreation Department and the League of Women Voters of Lincoln-Lancaster County invite the public to the dedication of an oak tree to be planted to honor the late Helen Boosalis. The event will take place at 5 p.m. Thursday, September 17 along the bike trail named for Boosalis, who served as Lincoln's Mayor from 1975 to 1983. The trail is just north of Highway 2, and parking is available in the area of 38th and LaSalle streets.
Boosalis also served as the Lincoln League of Women Voters President in the 1950s before her four terms on the City Council and her two terms as Mayor. Donations from League members and the public to the Lincoln League in honor of Boosalis are being used for the tree planting and the League's Directory of Elected Officials.
"We are proud of the long-term commitment by the local League to encourage citizens to become informed and engaged in our democracy," said Patte Newman, Lincoln League of WomenVoters President. "We are even prouder of members like Helen who served as President of our League and then went on to serve as an extraordinary leader in elected office in Lincoln." League members Jan Gauger, the first woman to run for the Lancaster County Board, and former Mayor Coleen J. Seng are scheduled to speak at the dedication along with Nancy Johner representing U.S. Senator Mike Johanns.
More information on City parks and trails is available at parks.lincoln.ne.gov.

Wanting Cardinal Sean P. O'Malley to become pope doesn't make you a Catholic as much as it makes you a homer.
We're very provincial and parochial here in Boston, especially those of us who went to parochial school. But O'Malley is not a bad guy and wouldn't make a bad pope.
At least he cares about the poor. He was dealt a bad hand when he came here, as he had been in Palm Beach and Fall River before that, expected to clean up the mess of sexual abuse and coverup left by his enabling and, in some cases, abusive predecessors.
O'Malley did a decent enough job reaching out to victims of abusive priests and cynical bishops, though I know a lot of victims' advocates who think he needs to do more. And don't ask the good folks occupying St. Frances X. Cabrini Church in Scituate, which O'Malley wants to sell off, to sing his praises, either.
O'Malley's humility is another reason he should be considered. Groucho Marx once said he'd never want to be in a club that would have him as a member, and the group of 115 cardinals gathered in the Sistine Chapel contains some people who have no business selecting the next pope.
It is beyond scandalous that the likes of Cardinal Roger Mahony, recently forced to retire as archbishop of Los Angeles, could in good conscience, and with a straight face, get to pick the next leader of the Catholic Church. Mahony is one of a dozen bishops at the conclave who were among the most cynical enablers of priests who abused young people. Mahony shouldn't be in the Sistine Chapel. He should be in San Quentin.
The face of Jesus Christ is not to be found in the likes of Mahony. Instead, it is found in the good works of the great and humble priests who work with the poor and the marginalized, the sick and the forgotten.
When I think of Jesus, I think not of preening, dogmatic bishops but of ordinary priests like Jim Scahill in East Longmeadow, John Unni in the Back Bay, or the Peter and Paul of Dorchester, Jack Ahern and Doc Conway.
At St. Cecilia's, Father John Unni pastors people who have been told by their church's leaders that they are disordered. He loves people, all people, unconditionally.
While the bishops were protecting rapists with Roman collars, Father Jim Scahill was comforting victims, holding their hands and praying with them, and crying with them. He defied a bishop whom he later helped expose as an abuser.
A couple of years ago, Father Jack Ahern walked out of his church on Columbia Road and found that someone had cut off the head of the statue of Jesus out front.
The cops found the perpetrator, and while some people would have been looking for restitution, Father Jack was looking for a hospital bed for the poor guy because he was mentally ill.
Like his great pal Father Jack, Father Doc Conway works with the most vulnerable kids in the city, along the murder mile that runs from Meeting House Hill up to Geneva Avenue.
Doc learned Portuguese so he could work with the Cape Verdean kids. I always get a kick out of seeing some new kid's eyes widen when a priest with the map of Ireland on his face approaches and Doc says, "Ola! Tudo bem?"
Priests like Jim Scahill, John Unni, Jack Ahern, and Doc Conway would never be considered papal candidates. But they walk in Jesus's footsteps. They are the soul of their church.
If Jesus walked into the Sistine Chapel today, he'd do three things.
First, he'd tell them to sell all the paintings on the walls and give the money to the poor.
Then he'd tell those Swiss guards to escort Mahony and the other enablers from the room.
And, finally, Jesus would look around, put his hands on his hips and ask, in genuine surprise, "Why are there no women here?"Kevin Cullen is a Globe columnist. He can be reached at email@example.com.

If we lose this game, it's going to be due to shooting ourselves in the foot, not so much from anything the Dolphins will do
I say we blitz more in this game...I don't think Tannehill has what it takes to exploit it.

Health may be largest factor in Brewers' success
PHOENIX -- To Ryan Braun, it's obvious why last season fell apart for the Milwaukee Brewers, and easy to predict what will determine the team's fate for 2014.
"I think all teams, especially small- and mid-market teams, depend on their good players staying on the field," said Braun. "That's one of the biggest advantages of the big market teams. They have a good player get hurt, and they go out and take on somebody else's $10 million player and it doesn't impact them that much.
PHOENIX -- To Ryan Braun, it's obvious why last season fell apart for the Milwaukee Brewers, and easy to predict what will determine the team's fate for 2014.
"I think all teams, especially small- and mid-market teams, depend on their good players staying on the field," said Braun. "That's one of the biggest advantages of the big market teams. They have a good player get hurt, and they go out and take on somebody else's $10 million player and it doesn't impact them that much.
"We don't have the luxury to do that. Our biggest key is everybody staying healthy."
That did not happen in 2013, when Braun was compromised by neck and hand injuries long before his season ended in suspension. Aramis Ramirez managed to appear in 92 games, but played on a bum left knee. Corey Hart did not play at all because of surgery on both knees.
The consensus in the clubhouse today is that in order to bounce back in a balanced National League Central, the Brewers will need all hands on deck.
"It was a tough thing last year, man," said catcher Jonathan Lucroy, one of the handful of Brewers who had positive seasons. "I've said this before, it's tough to go to war without all your weapons, especially in our division. In 2011, when we went to the playoffs, we had very few injuries that year, especially to our key players. I think that's the name of the game at this point, because we have a lot of talent in here."
Most of that talent is held over from last year, starting with All-Stars Carlos Gomez and Jean Segura at the top of the batting order. They will be counted on to repeat their breakthrough performances.
Then comes Braun and Ramirez in the middle of the order. They will be counted on to return to 2012 levels of production, when the duo combined for 68 home runs and 217 RBIs.
Lucroy will hit fifth, followed by some order of left fielder Khris Davis, whose late-season surge convinced the Brewers to move Braun to right field, plus a combination of first basemen Mark Reynolds and Lyle Overbay and second basemen Scooter Gennett and Rickie Weeks.
The pitching staff is also familiar. Big free-agent acquisition Matt Garza joins holdovers Yovani Gallardo, Kyle Lohse, Marco Estrada and Wily Peralta. The back end of the bullpen will again be led by Jim Henderson, Brandon Kintzler and Francisco Rodriguez. The most notable newcomer is left-hander Will Smith, acquired from the Royals in December in one of general manager Doug Melvin's few significant moves.
When the organization committed $50 million over four years to Garza in the biggest free agent investment in club history, it signaled that Brewers brass aims to contend in 2014.
"Last year, that wasn't exactly what I saw coming in," said Lohse, who signed with the Brewers because he thought they would be contenders last year. "When you miss the whole middle of your lineup, that's a tough one to grind through. We learned a lot about ourselves the way we played in that second half, and got a lot of young guys some experience that they wouldn't have had if everybody had been healthy. It stunk to go through it, but we got good experience."
With no roster overhaul, and coming off a 74-win season, many will view the Brewers as underdogs. In MLB.com's preview of the NL Central, columnist Phil Rogers picked them fourth.
Lucroy shrugged off that sentiment.
"I think we're always underdogs," he said. "When you're a small-market team, you're never going to be given any credit. I like it that way. I don't like when you have all the hype around you, and then nothing happens. I'd rather have no hype around you and make something happen."
There will be no shortage of hype surrounding Braun, who is back in action after being suspended for the final 65 games of last season for his ties to Biogenesis. He announced his return with a home run in his first Spring Training at-bat, and has spent the ensuing four weeks out of the spotlight.
It will be clear very early in the season how Braun will be received by baseball fans. After opening the season at home against the Braves from March 31-April 2, the Brewers travel to tough venues in Boston and Philadelphia. Later in the month, they go to Pittsburgh and St. Louis.
Manager Ron Roenicke has had a series of conversations with Braun about what lies ahead in those unfriendly environs.
"He knows what he's going to have to go through this year," Roenicke said. "We talked about it in the winter, we talked about it again early here. So he understands."
The crux of the manager's advice?
"Just the basic stuff: Keep thoughts on trying to win ballgames," Roenicke said. "I've never had to go through something like that, so it's hard to say how to react. He has been going through this not just last year, but in different cities he's gone through this so far because of who he is. Whether it's harder because it's every ballpark now, I think the guy is used to just being a great player and being booed."
No less an authority than radio broadcaster Bob Uecker said this spring, "As Ryan goes, so goes this club."
"I feel good about the team," Braun said. "You knock on wood, but hopefully we get to Monday healthy, because that's always one of the biggest keys to Spring Training. There have been so many significant injuries this spring, but we've had just about everybody stay healthy. That's encouraging and exciting."
"I think the expectation is to try to compete to get back to the playoffs. That's our goal. I think it's realistic."

Download DmC: Devil May Cry Crack for free - Download
Devil May Cry brand new tears -- DmC reinvents Capcom's classic action franchise to explore new frontiers with the series. The "Devil May Cry DNA" of stylish action, rewarding combat and a brash, smart-talking protagonist all remains; however, it has now injected with a dark and brutal gameplay that promises to redefine the franchise.
The Dante of DmC is a young man who has no respect for authority or society in general. Dante knows that he is not human, but also that he is not like the demons that have tormented him throughout his life. Caught between worlds, he feels like an outcast. He is now discovering and coming to terms with what it means to be the child of a demon and an angel. This split personality has a real impact on gameplay with Dante being able to call upon angel and demon abilities at will, transforming his Rebellion sword on the fly to dramatically affect both combat and movement.
· Do it with style - Utilize Dante's Angel and Demon powers to chain together ground-based and aerial combos to achieve the best style ranking.
· Who is Dante? – Explore Dante's early years in a gripping narrative featuring familiar faces from the series alongside all new characters.
· Unbridled action – The intense and iconic sword and gun based combat returns with the addition of new weapons all designed to dispatch the demonic spawn back to hell with style and panache.
· Retaining the Devil May Cry DNA – Capcom staff, including team members from previous Devil May Cry titles, have been assigned to the project from the outset to ensure DmC is a true addition to the Devil May Cry franchise.
· Unrivalled production values - Ninja Theory will take advantage of the latest performance capture technology to deliver a level of character design, story-telling and cinematics that perfectly complements DmC's high-octane combat.

|Morgan Gliedman
The privileged daughter of a prominent city doctor, and her boyfriend — a Harvard grad and Occupy Wall Street activist — have been busted for allegedly having a cache of weapons and a bombmaking explosive in their Greenwich Village apartment.In addition to being an Occupy Wall Street activist, Aaron Greene is reported to have had "five prior run-ins with the police, with the charges including, assault, and weapons possession." The weapons found in their apartment allegedly include "a commercial replica of a grenade launcher; a modified 12 gauge Mossberg 500 shotgun; ammo; and nine high-capacity rifle magazines." The explosives found include HMTD which is sufficiently powerful that it led police to evacuate several buildings.
Morgan Gliedman — who is nine-months pregnant — and her baby daddy, Aaron Greene, 31, also had instructions on making bombs, including a stack of papers with a cover sheet titled, "The Terrorist Encyclopedia,'' sources told The Post yesterday.
People who know Greene say his political views are "extreme," the sources said.
The reason for the police visit to the Greene and Gliedman apartment was that Gliedman, daughter of privilege and graduate of exclusive schools, was wanted for "alleged credit-card theft."
Greene is not the only would-be Occupy bomber. Last April, the FBI arrested five Occupy Cleveland members involved in a plot that included a plan to blow up a bridge.

Last night, on the BBC News, I saw the worst thing I ever have.
Whilst covering the deaths of Marie Colvin and Remi Ochlik, they showed footage of a two-year-old child dying from injuries sustained in the bombardment of Homs.
A child. Two years old.
Suddenly my world seemed very different, and much smaller.

1 lemon, cut in half along the equator
2 cane sugar peppermint sticks
Place one peppermint stick in the middle of one lemon half. Repeat. Suck lemon juice through the peppermint stick and be oddly refreshed.
how strange. but it does sound tasty.ReplyDelete
That's extremely odd, but I can see how it'd be refreshing. Are the peppermint sticks you get hollow? I've only seen solid ones so I'm not sure how you'd suck lemon juice through them...
Btw, love the new look of the blog, very clean and sharp :)
Great new look to your blog!ReplyDelete
Love the new look. And the lemon stick sounds interesting...would love to try it some time.ReplyDelete
What a cool combo... I'll have to give that a try! Love your new look, it's lovely!ReplyDelete
Love the new look! And I've got to try that lemon peppermint thingy.ReplyDelete
I would like to know the same thing ellie is asking..I'm not too sure juice could flow thru the candy sticks I get here, they're solid.
What a refreshing change! Great job!
This is fun! And your new header/design is terrific -- I want one!ReplyDelete
I had no idea they were a Baltimore thing. I got one at the arbutus arts festival also!ReplyDelete
One of my earliest memories is eating a lemon stick at the St. John's (Lutheran church/school over in Brooklyn) May Fair when I was three. Yum!ReplyDelete
nice new look! and i'm definitely trying the peppermint stick in the lemon trick. when i was a kid i would just suck the juice out from a lemon. your way sounds so much nicer.ReplyDelete
Thanks for dropping by my site Rachel. I've not seen the lemonsticks idea before. I look forward to trying it.ReplyDelete
I've had lemonade with a mint sprig, so I can see it working...
Love the new look :)
Wow.....I'm jealous of your new look!
Beautiful, and the photos on the side are a very nice touch!
I like the new site design. I am also having some growing pains with my site. I think sites with pictures really do the trick.ReplyDelete
We actually have that here in Utah, although I just heard about it a few weeks ago. Imagine my surprise then when I saw it here. :)
I like the new site too by the way!!
I don't know anything about the history of lemon sticks as you have presented it. However, I can remember public speaking students in Texas who claimed this was the way to avoid the overtaxed vocal cords that came from having to speak in round after round at tournaments.ReplyDelete
I was thrilled to see your lemon and peppermint stick treats. I remember them from 30 years ago at Amish fairs I visited on the east coast. Then, the chilled lemons where whole and punctured by a peppermint sugar stick, more porous than a sugar cane, and they were wonderful! I was just telling my twin boys about this – Thanks for the visual.
I used to get these when I was a kid at the Heritage Fair in Dundalk! Yum!ReplyDelete
I have purchased the peppermint sticks at the store, located right with the lemons but I can't get the juice through. Is there a special place to buy the sticks or a special preperation?
Why can't I get the juice through the stick.
Welcome comments.
They are the soft type peppermint sticks, not the hard kind similar to candy candies. That might be your problem. If not, you might want to buy juicier lemons or suck harder. You also might want to stick the stick in and let it "soak" for a few minutes before eating. People also have a tendency to squeeze the lemon as they eat so they get more juice. It will never gush like it would from an actual straw so if that is you expectation, you will be disappointed. I hope this helped.ReplyDelete
fantastic - thank you for allowing permission to use your photo; it's on our site
and our blog
What a yummy idea, and fantastic image. Thanks!!!
I grew up eating this combo.& they were so fun when you had sleep overs as a child.My mom would always have lemons and a bag of pepermint sticks ready for us....I would say its probably a mexican thing..ha...Mexicans love to eat everything with lemon...seriously. =D
I grew up in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas where the 'peppermint orange' is (was?) very popular. Same principle, but with an orange. During the '50s -'70s, they were served at concession stands on Friday nights at the local h.s. football games.
Delish...but hard to find the right type peppermint sticks anymore.
I remember drinking hot chocolate through a peppermint stick - I wish it were still possible to find soft peppermint sticks!ReplyDelete
I grew up here in California with putting a piece of regular candy cane in an orange every Christmas. (70's-present day)We got them in our stockings. You need juicy oranges and patience. The acid eats right through the candy. I can't wait to try it with lemons! We still have lots of leftover candy canes, yummy!ReplyDelete
I've had these before! They were very good! I hope to see them in just about every festival. So I added this to my mock religion website, saying it is the official treat of the annual "Who Needs Monday Week". I even added this webpage. Heheh..I hope you don't mind!ReplyDelete
Oh, awesome, thanks for this post! We had them every year at my school's Field Day (Norfolk, VA). Instead of halving the lemon, tho', we had them with a whole lemon, just a hole punched in the peel with an apple-corer or some such tool.
I found a passable facsimile of the peppermint sticks we used to use for this at a Cracker Barrel recently. I made myself one and posted a pic to my Facebook page, which led to some speculation about where the lemon-with-a-peppermint-stick-in-it came from. Thank you for the info! :)
My Sister in law used to do this in Texas around Christmas time. My friend at the Renaissance Festival sells them and he gets the peppermint sticks from Jeppi. For about $9 you get around 100 of them!ReplyDelete
We used to have these at our our school's field day (Resurrection - Ellicott City).ReplyDelete
Decided to share this experience with my daughters during the holidays and didn't know it originated in Baltimore..brought back so many memories of me and my mom at the flower mart..didnt know a peppermint stick could have such and affectReplyDelete

Johnson City, Tenn.-- The East Tennessee State women's soccer team dropped a 1-0 decision to Western Carolina Tuesday afternoon at the Liberty Bell Soccer Complex.
The Catamounts' Kelly Barker scored the eventual game-winner with 11:24 elapsed when she buried a cross from teammate Felicia Wilson that fell 5 yards in front of Buccaneer goalkeeper Heather Sanden.
Offensively, the Bucs were limited in the first half, as they only managed two shots against the Catamount defense. The second half proved more productive as the Bucs had chances but could not convert on the offensive end.
Sanden recorded 11 saves on the afternoon for the Bucs, while Western Carolina goalkeeper Mandi Tinsley stopped three shots for the Catamounts.
With the loss, the Bucs drop to 6-7 overall, 0-5 in the Southern Conference. Western Carolina improves to 8-6-1 overall, 2-4 in the Southern Conference.
The Bucs will return to action this weekend as they hit the road for a pair of Southern Conference matches. Friday the Bucs will face College of Charleston at 7 p.m. The Bucs will then visit Georgia Southern for a Sunday afternoon kickoff at 1 p.m.

When WWE first announced that a CM Punk bio DVD was in the works, I was genuinely excited for it. After all, Punk has been one of my favourites since his days in Ring of Honor.
When I found out that the DVD, titled Best in the World was going to be heavy on Punk's input, I became more excited. The last time I had heard word of heavy wrestler involvement was for Chris Jericho's DVD and that was easily one of my favourites that WWE has ever done.
As one could expect, then, the DVD is a true chronicle of Punk's wrestling career. From his backyard federation in Chicago (though I suspect he exaggerates the the attendance figures a bit) to his time training with Ace Steel and early days pre-Ring of Honor are all covered in great (and I do mean great) depth. Really, this is the first time, including Jericho, that we really get that full spectrum of a wrestler's work, dating back to the Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero DVDs (and this one probably surpasses them).
Throughout this early section, we get the story of Punk vs. Colt Cabana and Punk vs. Chris Hero -- including commentary from both foes -- which were fantastic. We also get some match clips and while some WWE fans may balk at the lack of full matches included, you have to remember that those were one-hour Broadways, and that's a lot of time to eat up on a DVD series.
Ring of Honor is up next and we get some really good talk about the early feud with Raven and, of course, his work with Cabana. Samoa Joe is also brought up at length, and this is where the "it's a real shame" comments start to come in, so let's be blunt -- it's a real shame that WWE couldn't get Samoa Joe to offer his take on Punk; it's a real shame that WWE wouldn't talk with Raven or then-ROH booker Gabe Sapolsky. And, even though the matches were easily as long as the other Broadways, it's a real low down dirty shame that we didn't get any full out Summer of Punk segments; but this is also new territory to WWE -- no other wrestler profiled, yet, has come from this level of stardom in Ring of Honor. We'll see what happens when Bryan Danielson/Daniel Bryan gets his DVD (and I'm ignoring the recently-released Superstar Collection Daniel Bryan).
From there we move into Ohio Valley Wrestling, which was then a WWE developmental territory, and this is where we get "pissed off Punk" and the introduction of him being a "Paul Heyman guy." This to me is where the DVD really shines, as we see Punk starting to get vocal but learning as he goes along. This is carried through to ECW and his matches with John Morrison (another "it's a real shame" moment for an in-depth interview) up to WWE, and the real heart of the DVD -- the championships.
As you might expect, Punk shows his frustration with his first couple runs with the World Championship, and deservedly so. We start to see more at this point from John Cena and Triple H, and I do have to give both credit, along with Michael Hayes, for being honest and not sugar-coating their thoughts on Punk at the time. Punk's disdain for that time period, transitioning to his enjoyment in the Straight Edge Society (where again we have an "it's a real shame" spot with no interview from Luke Gallows). What's interesting is that the Nexus angle isn't mentioned whatsoever, but that's probably for the best, because...
That's right, it's pipebomb time!
Understandably, this section is a bit rushed. At this point it's such recent history that there isn't a lot of meat to really pick over. We get a few promo highlights, some about 'Mania (without talking enough about the feud with Jericho) and that's pretty much it.
Now having said all this and accumulating a list of "it's a real shame" spots that would rival any other DVD I've reviewed over the decade plus I've been reviewing DVDs on SLAM! Wrestling, you might thing I'm not a fan of this documentary; on the contrary though, I really did enjoy it. The reality is that there is so much covered in the near two-hour doc that if it went longer, it would've started to lag. There's also a good half hour of bonus clips, so you're really looking at a robust profile of the man known outside the wrestling world as Phil Brooks.
As for match selection? Well, you get what you'd expect pretty much: Punk's debut in ECW, the title victories, the standout matches, etc. The reality is that even though Punk's been in WWE for six years or so, he has had far too few longer, intricate matches, and part of that can be blamed on how he's been booked. The other part? Simply put, you don't have some of the wrestlers who are "go-to" inclusions you regularly see in documentaries. Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar are two examples, as are The Rock and Steve Austin. I'm near positive Brock and Punk didn't battle in OVW, and as for the other three, they weren't on the active roster at the same time as Punk.
The only fun piece that would've been interesting to see that wasn't included were a couple "enhancement" matches Punk had on HeAT back in the day against the likes of Val Venis.
At this point though, I'm nitpicking for the sake of nitpicking. Really, you cannot go wrong with Best In the World. Get it, right now.
Jon Waldman is a SLAM! Wrestling veteran dating back to the original days of the "before times". A multi-time author, Jon's next book, on the history of hockey, is due out in September 2013.

Learning-Disabled Worker at Lakewood Store Was Harassed and Fired Because of His Disability, Federal Agency Charges
DENVER – Dillon Companies, Inc., owners of the King Soopers supermarket chain in Colorado, intentionally and unlawfully discriminated against one of its learning-disabled employees, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit announced today.
According to the EEOC's suit, Justin Stringer, who served as a courtesy clerk at a King Soopers store in Lakewood, Colo., from 1995 to 2006, was subjected to repeated taunting and threats by a head clerk and an acting store manager because of his disability. The EEOC further alleges that, despite his proven ability to perform his duties and a good work history, Stringer was ultimately fired because of his disability.
Such alleged conduct violates the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). The EEOC filed the lawsuit (EEOC v. Dillon Companies, Inc., Case No. 09-cv-02237-ZLW-MEH) in U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement. The suit seeks monetary damages, including back pay, compensation for emotional distress and punitive damages. The EEOC also seeks injunctive relief prohibiting further discrimination by the employer and mandating corrective action, including reinstatement of Stringer to his former position.
"Unfortunately, individuals with learning disabilities continue to be the object of harassment by those who would like to replay the sophomoric pranks of schoolyard bullies," said EEOC Regional Attorney Mary Jo O'Neill. "Lawsuits such as this one will remind employers that workers with disabilities must be treated with the same dignity and respect as other valuable members of the work force."
EEOC Denver Field Office Director Nancy Sienko added, "This nation's commitment to protecting people with disabilities from workplace discrimination is as strong as ever. The EEOC intends to fulfill that commitment through vigorous enforcement of the Americans With Disabilities Act in cases such as this one."The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

A Long Walk to Edgeley
Nitschke, Lillian. "A Long Walk to Edgeley." Prairies 7, no. 7: June/July 1984, 20-22.
PDF Document (PDF 245KB)
What must one do to be physically active and alert for nearly a century? This question has often been pondered, but has never gotten a fixed answer. Gottlieb C. Nitschke offers a partial solution.
A pioneer in rural Ashley, Nitschke always refers to his 90-plus years as "still being young." He'll celebrate his 98th birthday on July 28, claiming that "early to bed/early to rise/ and plenty of good exercise" helps one stay healthy.
A no-nonsense attitude is also important. Since God put him on earth for a purpose, he believes in doing something essential as long as he can. At 97, he enjoys plowing, disking, cultivating, and cleaning fields of rocks. The most enjoyable seems to be swathing the golden grain with a self-propelled swather. What a change from the scythe he used as a lad!
Nitschke was born in 1886 to Christoph and Katherine (Gebhardt) Nitschke in Beresina, South Russia. They came to America by boat, leaving Odessa on April 9, 1894. His passport, issued by the Keizerlich General-Konsulot of Odessa, carried the words: "Gut zur Reise nach Deutschland fur den Infindlon." In English, that is translated to "Good for traveling to Germany."
After arriving in the United States, they boarded a train to Ellensdale. A man named M. Schlabsz met them there, and the Nitschke family rode as far as the John Maier farm—some 30 miles from Ellendale—by horse and buggy, their only way of transportation.
The Maier family hosted them until they had built a sod house and barn on a farm that had earlier been claimed by G. Skaley. Naturally, their few buildings were crude. With few tools, a sod house was put up in a relatively short time. The dwellings were built using many hours of the then inexpensive labor.
The following winter, they took up another 160 acres to help accommodate their children—Gottlieb , 5; Gottfried, 3; and John, 1. Their other children, Adolph and Ottilia (later, she was married to Christ Wolf and then to Jacob Schock) were both born in the U.S.
The struggling family's one cow and horse did not provide too well. The horse was a means of travel and was also used with a one-bottom plow to break up the sod in planting crops. The cow provided for a large portion of the daily diet.
At age 16, Gottlieb started walking, seeking employment, preferably farm work. Having heard jobs were available in Edgeley, North Dakota, that was the direction he chose. Walking during the day and sleeping on grain sacks in elevators during the night, he continued his journey the next day.
Arriving in Edgeley, he found a job during the harvest season for $1 a day. He received only 50 cents a day for daily routine farm chores.
In October, when fall farm work was completed, he walked back to his parents' farm 13 miles northeast of Ashley.
The following year he planned to find employment in the Edgeley area again.
Since he was more experienced, he thought, "Why don't I sleep in a train car this time?!"
To his surprise, the car moved before he woke up and by the time the train stopped he was already in LaMoure—about 40 miles too far!
But a kind-hearted gentleman by the name of Kanausky offered Gottlieb employment for the harvest season. Later on, Gottlieb's parents expanded their farm operation, and so he didn't have to experience any more train adventures in order to find work—he worked at home.
Nitschke was confirmed at Peace Lutheran Church, east of Ashley. Later, he married Katherine Heyd on April 17, 1908 at the farm home of the bride's parents.
Like that of his parents, the couple's first house and barn were made of sod, which was later covered with wood siding.
In their 60 years of marriage, they were blessed with 11 children: Arthur C., Rose (Mrs. Phillip Eszlinger), Bertha (Mrs. Gottlieb Eszlinger), August, Rudolph, Richard, Roland, Ferdinand, all living in the Ashley vicinity, and Elsie (Mrs. Werner Hoffman) who lives near Leola, South Dakota. Two children died in infancy.
Nitschke's present home was built in 1950. For the first time in their lives, Gottlieb and Katherine enjoyed the convenience of running water and plumbing. Several barns, granaries, and a machine shed were also built throughout the years.
The Nitschke's farm operation was diversified into grain farming and milking dairy cows (once as many as 50—all milked by hand). They also raised hogs, sheep, chickens, and ducks.
The main source of fuel for many years was home-processed manure. This was a nine-month operation.
The procedure included saving the manure from cows and sheep, putting it into a lot, tramping it to make it solid and then cutting it with a spade.
Next it was dried, shocked, and dried some more, and finally set in a narrow long stock which was the fuel pile for the winter months.
They even used manure called mischt—to heat ranges for cooking, baking, and canning in the summer.
One of the highlights of Katherine and Gottlieb's lives was being chosen king and queen of Ashley's diamond jubilee in 1963. Townspeople selected them as the most typical pioneers of the area. Katherine died on January 16, 1968. But Gottlieb and their son, Ferdinand, have continued living on the farm where Gottlieb homesteaded. Ferdinand performs all of the household duties, plus caring for cattle and chickens.
They both share the field work and other farm chores.
Gottlieb was among the first to settle in the southcentral part of North Dakota. At that time, German was the common language of the area, and Gottlieb's knowledge today of English is mainly self-taught.
Rural living is most enjoyable for this venerable pioneer, and
he would never exchange it for all the smog-filled cities in the

Spain bad loan ratio resumes upward spiral
MADRID (AP) — The level of bad debt in Spain' banks resumed its upward spiral in January, rising to 10.78 percent, the central bank said Tuesday.
Bank data showed non-performing loans totaled €170.7 billion ($220.9 billion) in the first month of the year, up from €167.5 billion the previous month.
December had seen the bad loan ratio dropping to 10.44 percent from a record 11.38 percent in November following the transfer of toxic assets to the country's new bad bank — a fund that collects the non-performing loans from banks. It was the first reduction in 17 months.
Spanish lenders, hit by the country's real estate crash in 2008, have been transferring toxic loans to the country's bad bank, known as SAREB. The body was set up as a condition for Spain receiving €40 billion in European Union assistance for its financial sector.
With 26 percent unemployment, Spain is struggling to emerge from its second recession in just over three years.
Also Tuesday, the Treasury raised €4 billion ($5.2 billion) in short-term debt at a lower cost in the latest reflection of growing investor confidence in the government's handling of the economy.
It sold €2.26 billion in nine-month bills at a rate of 1.01 percent, down from 1.14 percent in the last such auction Feb. 19.
It placed €1.73 billion in three-month bills at a yield of 0.29 percent, compared with a previous 0.42 percent.
The amount sold met the Treasury's target while demand was more than double the total offered.
Spain's borrowing costs have dropped in recent months with investors less wary since European authorities announced the country would be helped, if needed, to handle its debt.

People's Choice Award: Favourite Non-Walker
Who else?
What brings up more happiness than Mimi not walking? Or, rather, walking assisted by a bodyguard/husband/waiter?
JOY. She is JOY.
Mariah Carey was named Favourite R&B Artist last night at the PCAs over, um, Beyonce. Which should tell you how bullsh-t the People's Choice Awards are. Come on now. You know I adore the Meem, but Beysus straight up owned it all in 2009. Please.
Still, The People invited Mimi. And Mimi delivered. I did not watch because I knew it would end up on YouTube anyway. Her inability to get up out of her seat. How Nick had to escort her to the stage. And then hang back in the wings while she took her glory.

ComScore has published their research of the U.S. smartphone market for April 2012, and found that Samsung is still the top U.S. mobile manufacturer, while Apple is trailing in third place. Still, Apple is moving in on LG's second place; U.S. mobile market share (that includes smartphones and dumbphones) for the iPhone has grown 1.6 points to 14.4%, while LG has shrunk half a point to 19.2%.
The research also indicates that among smartphone platforms, Android experienced its lowest adoptions rates in Q1 2012 since 2009. That's good news for iOS, which is still enjoying steady growth, but has resulted in plateauing smartphone adoption overall. Apparently there were 300,000 new smartphone users every week in April, compared to 1.5 million every week in November. That is, indeed, a sharp dive. At this rate, iOS is growing nearly as fast as Android; during the same three-month period, iOS grew 1.9 points, while Android climbed 2.2. Of course, the installed base of Android users in the U.S. is still significantly higher than iPhone, thanks in no small part to the army of manufacturers churning out new devices every day. As you might expect, the BlackBerry OS market share is down yet again, currently commanding 11.6%, down 3.6 points since January.
I still find it hugely impressive that Apple is competing so strongly in the overall mobile market in the U.S. Samsung and LG are churning out tons of very affordable phones, both simple feature handsets as well as smartphones, while a very small selection of iPhones can still give them a run for their money. As for Android growth petering out, I wouldn't count on it being permanent just yet, since U.S. smartphone penetration is set to cross the 50% line this summer, meaning there is still a healthy number of dumbphone users that need to upgrade.
How many of your friends don't own a smartphone? Do you figure Android has any particular appeal to them, or does Apple have a big head start when it comes to being noob-friendly?

last weekend i took a blogger friend that was visiting for the week to montreal. What was so different about this visit to montreal is that it was purely for site seeing, browsing and eating. not seeing my family while i was there was difficult, but i must say the places we visited had great feel to them and quickly became part of a "must visit again list". we rented a flat from Air b&b and it was perfect, the view of the montreal skyline was dreamy and the gourmet shop under it was brilliant. while Josephine shopped ( a lot :)) i took pictures, there was mi & co on Laurier a clothing shop, what caught my eye was the cafe at the back of the shop, many montreal boutiques house espresso & tea bars this shop included a light fare menu. the girl that worked the cafe quickly caught my eye, adorable was she.
a little later we walked into citizen vintage on rue st-laurent, a beautiful array of florals and plaid filled the shop. one of the lovely owners wore a flowerary dress and others hung beautifully from racks, josephine even found one that fit her perfectly. i liked this minimilast approach to the shop.
We stopped many times through out the day at different cafes, i had my share of mochas best three where at Olivier Poitier, Olive et Gourmando and the Le Petit Hotel. that evening we returned to la rue Laurier fro dinner at Lameac , it was bustling there after ten menu was exceptional and reasonable, i had the grilled calamari tossed with zucchini and onions with a delicate sauce and a Saumon Pot de feu, a poached salmon in a delicate broth with turnips carrots and brussel sprouts leaves i am still thinking about it. Sunday morning we strolled after the most incredible brunch at Le Cartet.
more from mtl soon. ( broken computer, it was time. although i now realize i bought my camera, computer and car all the same year and all have chosen 2012 to say goodbye, but i am lucky that they have seen as much as i)

DELAND, Fla. (Nov. 30, 2011) – One streak will end and another will continue on Thursday morning when the ETSU women's basketball team faces defending Atlantic Sun Tournament champion, Stetson, in its conference opener.
The Lady Bucs – who have dropped their first six games to start the season – have won 12 consecutive against the Hatters since joining the A-Sun in 2005-06.
Which streak will end on Thursday morning inside the Edmunds Center?
Tune into WXSM-AM 640 The Extreme Sports Monster at 10:30 a.m. for the Atmos Energy Pregame Show, as "Voice of the Lady Bucs" John Stevens will carry the play-by-play with the opening tip at 11 a.m.
ETSU (0-6) is coming off a 66-39 setback at Richmond on Monday night where the Lady Bucs shot a season-low 23 percent (14-61) from the field and had their 86 game streak of recording at least one three-point field goal made come to an end (0-13). Sophomore Destiny Mitchell (Bluffton, Ga.) led the Blue and Gold with nine points, 12 rebounds, three steals, and two blocks in 28 minutes of work off the bench, marking her first game she hasn't started for ETSU in her young career (30 total games).
Meanwhile, Stetson – who was picked second in the A-Sun Preseason Coaches' Poll – enters Thursday's game with a 5-2 mark.
The Hatters had their four-game winning streak come to halt on Monday night after losing at South Florida, 77-62. Shanasa Sanders scored a game-high 24 points for Stetson, but it wasn't enough as the Hatters were outscored 43-27 in the second half en route to being defeated by 15 points. Sophomore Sasha Sims added a double-double after recording 14 points and 11 rebounds in 37 minutes of work against the Bulls.
Stetson boasts two of the top three scorers in the conference as Sanders is averaging 15.1 points per game and Preseason Player of the Year selection, Victoria McGowan, is right behind her teammate at 15.0 ppg. As a team, the Hatters rank second in the A-Sun in scoring offense (66.7) and second in scoring defense (64.1).
The Lady Bucs have won 12 of the 13 games in the series with Stetson's lone win coming exactly 16 years ago (Dec. 1, 1995) at the Krystal Holiday Tournament in Cookeville, Tenn. Stetson nearly pulled off the win last season in Johnson City, but Tara Davis (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) tied the game with a pair of free throws with three seconds remaining in regulation and the Lady Bucs outscored the Hatters by four in overtime to secure the 78-74 victory. Last February, Mitchell recorded one of her 11 double-doubles – finishing with 20 points and 11 rebounds – as the Blue and Gold defeated Stetson, 80-62, in DeLand.
Stetson will provide live video and live stats courtesy of GoHatters.com. Twitter updates will also be available via @ETSUAthletics.

Looking for "Tookey" connections from Greenwich in Kent
My Great Grandfather was Ransford John Tookey Rose. He had a brother, Henry William Tookey Rose. Both were born in Greenwich in the late 1830s. As far as I can trace there were no Tookey connections in the family. I have noticed that there was a Tookey family in Greewich at the time of their births so there may have been some sort of connection between the families. There have been no Tookeys in the family since. Is there anyone that can point to a real connection between the Roses and Tookeys at that time?
Moore and Ashman families from Cambridgeshire
My grandmother was from the Moore family, originally from Cambridge. I have noticed in some of her predecessors both in the Moore family and Ashman family that many of the first names have what appear to be Jewish roots. For example, Isaac, Samuel, Joshua, Benjamin, Rebecca and Dinah. Does this really indicate a Jewish background or is it just coincident?

We ask that we receive a colour version from the designer as well as a grey scale version after the design is chosen. We have not decided on what the pictorial part of the logo should be, maybe something sports related; whistle, clipboard, etc but we are not set on one specific image.
Demo: 16-60 years of age, split on gender 50/50, provincial sport governing body supporting amateur coaching, coaches across full sports spectrum from grassroots to high performance
Tag Line: "What a Coach Needs, all in One Place."
Check out our website for more info http://www.coachesbc.ca

* Serve all amateur coaches in BC
* Enhance the value of amateur coaching in our communities
* Forge and maintain strong partnerships and relationships with organizations and individuals that can benefit coaching in BC
* Improve the quality of our amateur coaches and optimize coaching in BC to provide positive and meaningful experiences for athletes
Our current logo is the province of BC incorporated into a flag. We are open to any and all ideas for a logo and it does not have to follow this theme. We want something new and fresh looking.
A few words that represent what we want to portray are:
clear message
service oriented

text: I've been trying to get on this forum for a bit now. My celica is a 77 liftback. It's in fair condition, originally green(so who really knows what lurks underneath) and runs decent. I would consider myself a datsun person(610, 710) first off but I have acquired a few toyotas(73 Carina, 76 toyota corona mark 2, 71 corona, etc) in the past few years. I enjoy most Japanese stuff pre 1980 and some odd ball euro stuff. Maybe I'll get around to getting a few put together before I give it up. The hobby has given me reason for me and my father to bond over long road trips. Thanks in advance for any advice or help that I receive from you guys. I had a photobucket account but it's not letting me upload pictures so here's a quick imgur link for a couple of pics of the celica http://imgur.com/a/G0cgl

Madison Middle School has been named the top school in the state among schools receiving federal Title I funds for closing the achievement gap between its best- and worst-performing students.
Superintendent Jim Hartley announced the award Monday to a gathering of all Madison faculty.
"We've got a lot of things going on here, and a lot of you people have been busting your tails to make this happen," Hartley told the faculty. "It's also obviously extremely significant that we are closing the achievement gap."
Title I funds are available to schools if 35 percent or more of their students are eligible for free or reduced lunches.
There are 2,200 Title I schools in Michigan, Hartley said.
Madison schools received $198,655 in Title I funds in 2011-12, Hartley said.
Hartley said the Michigan Department of Education called Friday with news of the award, though he was out and did not find out about it until Monday.
Madison schools will be recognized at the National Title I Conference Jan. 21-24 in Nashville.
Margaret Madigan, assistant director of field services for the department of education, said the award is based on Madison Middle School's closing the achievement gap in language skills and mathematics between the top 30 percent of its students and the bottom 30 percent of its students during a two-year period.
"I think for Title I schools that are trying to maximize (improvement from) the use of resources from the state and federal government, it is a real accomplishment," Madigan said.
The award also is based on the school being a Reward School, meaning it is in the top 5 percent of all schools statewide for achievement or achievement improvements, and on its being high on the state's list of Beating the Odds schools. That list will be released today at the state Board of Education meeting, Madigan said.
The award for closing the achievement gap is based on bringing lower performing students closer to the highest performing students, not on higher scores coming down, Hartley said.
"I'm very proud of our staff and the work they are doing with our kids," Hartley said in an interview after the announcement.
The state department of education also said that a school in Shepherd was picked as the top achieving school among Title I schools.

Although women were allowed nearly equal access to public education in Massachusetts as early as the 1830s, there remained a distinct difference in the skills taught well into the 20th century. Schools were expected to teach girls the things they would need as wives and mothers, rather than as equal working members of society. The central point for this education were classes that became collectively known as "home economics." Here, the cooking class - composed entirely of young women - cooked a meal for "teachers and boys of the upper classes." The first group was privileged by its status, but the second primarily by their sex. On the other hand, the group was entertained by a "farce" put on by their teachers.

There is currently no available "Beginner" label. The following is the default level label: Before the Civil War, several forms of lighting were available in American households. While candles were still regularly used in some homes, most had lamps which burned lard, camphene or whale oil. Gas lighting was introduced in big cities like Boston and New York in the 1820s, but this utility did not reach most areas until after mid-century. Whale oil was held in the blown-glass font on this lamp, which sits on a pressed-glass base. Whale oil was the cleanest, safest and most efficient burning oil in the first half of the 19th century, but it was also the most expensive. The whaling industry began on this continent in the late 17th century off the coast of Long Island in New York and Cape Cod in Massachusetts. From the industry's earliest years, it had a highly integrated multicultural work force. Wampanoag Indians were among the first whalers in Massachusetts and crews continued to include a significant number of African-American sailors and, later, included men from Cape Verde and other Atlantic islands. Between the Revolutionary War and the Civil War the whaling industry employed more free African-American men than any other industry, although they continued to work as laborers rather than officers or owners until the industry was in steep decline.

Lincoln MKS Power Steering Rack FOR SALE
The Lincoln MKS Power Steering Rack is a part of your power steering mechanism. The power steering rack includes a cylinder that encloses a piston in its center. The cylinder has two fluid inlets through which the steering fluid flows when the driver turns the vehicle. A thin metal bar called the torsion bar is connected to the steering wheel at one end and to the pinion or worm gear at the bottom. When the driver turns the steering wheel, the torsion bar is twisted with the same amount of torque applied on the wheel. This torque acts on the inner valve of the spool assembly to turn it in the direction of steering. This action pushes the steering fluid into one side of the steering rack. The high-pressure fluid pushes against the piston, thereby providing the driver with the required power-assist to turn the vehicle. The power steering rack can fail due to steering fluid leakage, fluid contamination and worn out gears in the steering mechanism. A worn out power steering rack can cause your steering wheel to play or wobble while driving straight. The steering can also feel stiff if there is no proper lubrication or if the steering fluid is leaking.
If you are looking for a high-quality Lincoln MKS Power Steering Rack, you have come to the right place. Buy Auto Parts sells a wide range of OEM replacements and premium aftermarket parts at unbeatable prices. All the parts for your Lincoln come with a warranty.

BMW X1 Power Steering Rack FOR SALE
The BMW X1 Power Steering Rack makes the car's wheels turn in the appropriate direction. It comprises a cylinder which has a piston, and fluid ports to acquire and expel the steering fluid. A torsion bar which is connected to a spool-valve assembly controls the flow of fluid to and from the steering rack. The torsion bar gets twisted to the same extent as the steering wheel. This causes the spool-valve to allow the pressurized fluid to enter the piston cylinder at one end while the fluid in the other end of the cylinder flows back to the reservoir. This action pushes the rod to one side to turn the vehicle's wheels in the required direction. The power steering fluid level should be checked periodically for the proper functioning of the power steering rack. Common indications include a thudding or clunking noise due to a loose steering rack, or a wobbly steering wheel.
If you have issues with your BMW X1 Power Steering Rack, you must replace it as soon as possible. Buy Auto Parts sells a wide range of parts for every car make and model at unbeatable prices. We have genuine OEM replacements and premium aftermarket parts. All our steering parts are tested thoroughly and come with a warranty. We provide free shipping on all orders above US $99.
