From: "The Secret History" – by Pocopius of Caesarea
15 - How All Roman Citizens Became Slaves
Theodora too unceasingly hardened her heart in the practice of inhumanity. What she did, was never to please or obey anyone else; what she willed, she performed of her own accord and with all her might: and no one dared to intercede for any who fell in her way. For neither length of time, fulness of punishment, artifice of prayer, nor threat of death, whose vengeance sent by Heaven is feared by all mankind, could persuade her to abate her wrath. Indeed, no one ever saw Theodora reconciled to any one who had offended her, either while he lived or after he had departed this earth. Instead, the son of the dead would inherit the enmity of the Empress, together with the rest of his father's estate: and he in turn bequeathed it to the third generation. For her spirit was over ready to be kindled to the destruction of men, while cure for her fever there was none.
To her body she gave greater care than was necessary, if less than she thought desirable. For early she entered the bath and late she left it; and having bathed, went to breakfast. After breakfast she rested. At dinner and supper she partook of every kind of food and drink; and many hours she devoted to sleep, by day till nightfall, by night till the rising sun. Though she wasted her hours thus intemperately, what time of the day remained she deemed ample for managing the Roman Empire.
And if the Emperor intrusted any business to anyone without consulting her, the result of the affair for that officer would be his early and violent removal from favor and a most shameful death.
It was easy for Justinian to look after everything, not only because of his calmness of temper, but because he hardly ever slept, as I have said, and because he was not chary with his audiences. For great opportunity was given to people, however obscure and unknown, not only to be admitted to the tyrant's presence, but to converse with him, and in private.
But to the Queen's presence even the highest officials could not enter without great delay and trouble; like slaves they had to wait all day in a small and stuffy antechamber, for to absent himself was a risk no official dared to take. So they stood there on their tiptoes, each straining to keep his face above his neighbor's, so that eunuchs, as they came out from the audience room, would see them. Some would be called, perhaps, after several days; and when they did enter to her presence in great fear, they were quickly dismissed as soon as they had made obeisance and kissed her feet. For to speak or make any request, unless she commanded, was not permitted.
Not civility, but servility was now the rule, and Theodora was the slave driver. So far had Roman society been corrupted, between the false geniality of the tyrant and the harsh implacability of his consort. For his smile was not to be trusted, and against her frown nothing could be done. There was this superficial difference between them in attitude and manner; but in avarice, bloodthirstiness, and dissimulation they utterly agreed. They were both liars of the first water.
And if anyone who had fallen out of favor with Theodora was accused of some minor and insignificant error, she immediately fabricated further unwarranted charges against the man, and built the matter up into a really serious accusation. Any number of indictments were brought, and a court appointed to plunder the victim, with judges selected by her, to compete with themselves to see which one could please her most in fitting his decision to the Empress's inhumanity. And so the property of the victim would be straightway confiscated, and after he was cruelly whipped, even if he perhaps belonged to an ancient and noble family, she would callously have him sentenced to exile or to death.
But if any of her favorites happened to be caught in the act of murder or any other serious crime, she ridiculed and belittled the efforts of their accusers, and compelled them, however unwillingly, to quash the charge. Indeed, whenever she felt the inclination, she turned the most serious matters of state into a jest, as if she were again on the stage of the theater.
Once an elderly patrician, who had been for a long time in high office (whose name I well know, but shall carefully refrain from mentioning, so as not to bring eternal ridicule upon him), being unable to collect from one of her attendants a considerable sum of money owed him, went to her with the intention of asking his due and imploring her just aid. But Theodora was warned, and told her eunuchs, as soon as the patrician should be admitted to her presence, to surround him in a body and listen to her words; telling them what to say after she had spoken. And when the patrician was admitted to her private quarters, he kissed her feet in the customary manner and, weeping, addressed her:
"Highness, it is hard for a patrician to ask for money. For what in other men brings sympathy and pity, in one of my rank is considered disgraceful. Any other man suffering hardships from poverty may plead this before his creditors, and receive immediate relief from his difficulty; but a patrician, not knowing whence he can find the wherewithal to pay his creditors, would be ashamed in the first place to admit it. And if he did say this, he could never persuade them that one of such rank could know penury. And even if he did persuade them, he would be making himself suffer the most shameful and intolerable disgrace imaginable.
"Yet, Highness, such is my plight. I have creditors to whom I owe money, while others owe money to me. And those whom I owe, who are pressing me for payment, I cannot, for the sake of my reputation, attempt to cheat of their due; while my debtors, for they are not patricians, deny me with unmanly excuses. I charge you, therefore; I beseech and beg of you, to aid me in what is right, and release me from my present trouble."
So he said, and the Queen answered musically:
"Patrician Mr. Such-and-such-" whereupon the chorus of eunuchs sang:
"Your hernia seems to bother you much!"
And when the man entreated her again, making a second speech similar to his first one, she answered as before, and the chorus sang the same refrain: till, giving it up, the poor wretch bowed and went home.
Most of the year the Empress resided in the suburbs on the seashore, especially in the place called Heraeum, and the numerous crowd of her attendants was subjected to great inconvenience. For it was hard to get necessary supplies, and they were exposed to the perils of the sea: especially to the frequent sudden storms and the attack of sharks. Nevertheless they counted the most bitter misfortunes as nothing, so long as they could share the licenses of her court.

This show must have known they were going to need to pull a Hunger Games joke out of their hat at some point, and this was it. Thankfully, the entire sketch is saved by the appearance of the excellent puppy bowl. Now that is a hilarious spoof I would watch. Plus there was the "Almost Pizza" commercial, which should be made into a R.L. Stine book immediately.

(Apologies to Goethe, Le Carre, and the authors of both parts of the bible)
I know its early to think about FS2018, but this may take some discussion and some time, so here goes. Besides when its this hot, why not talk about FS?
I have been thinking of setting up a side bet/reindeer game. Something around bike advocacy. But giving a prize for sitting at meetings (or similar) would exclude all the folks who don't want to sit at meetings, plus its not any harder to sit at meetings in the winter.
So I was thinking about how, when we build infra, one of the complaints thrown in our face it that its not ridden alot (even where the infra is really there for traffic calming). I would love to see more riders using that infra, showing the flag, etc. Advocacy by riding around, IOW. Some of y'all already do that, but I thought it could lead to a nice contest. And I recall a side bet last year where strava segs were created for different parts of the Arlington Loop, our wonderful coders created code to count how many times people rode in them, and an award was given for that. I was thinking I could create segments for a bunch of the more controversial recent infra expansions, hopefully the coders could use the same code as for the Arl Loop contest, and we would be good to go.
Of course I would want advice on what segments to include. For Alexandria I would do the two parts of middle King Street (Janneys to the Cedar, and TCW to Janneys) maybe the Van Dorn lanes, and maybe Cameron and Prince (and Royal?) For Arlington the new lanes on Wilson? Not sure what recent controversial lanes needing more ridership there are in the other jurisdictions.
I am also open to the idea that this should not be done, because NIMBYs MIGHT accuse us of gaming the data. Though I presume bike counts are not being done during FS? I also realize that some people may ride in the general travel lanes on these segments, and there may no good way to exclude those - not sure if that would be so extensive that the whole thing wouldn't work, or just that some segments might need to be excluded. Or that the coding is harder than I think.
At this stage, I am looking for general feedback. TIA.

Sacred Cosmology: Precolumbian Mesoamerican Symbolism
From the site:
The society to which we belong, our contemporary society, has conceived the notion that God–the original unity–is man's invention, although some of its members think rather that the deity is a human discovery produced at a certain stage of history. In both cases, it is man who creates God, in absolute contradiction of the unanimous assertion of all traditions and civilizations on record, which declare and establish the correct hierarchical relation between creator and creature.
This flagrant inversion is a logical consequence of our current ignorance where the sacred is concerned, an ignorance that obliges us unconsciously to "humanize" the concept of God, to anthropomorphize it–which is tantamount to reducing the deity to the categories of human thought and conception. We are obliged to minimize the concept of God to the scale of today's men and the narrowness of their vision. Hence the latter find nothing better to do than to put the gods to death, to "believe" no longer in them but rather in the "human"–which, alas, is taken for progress–as if it were possible for the cosmic and harmonic energies whose principles the deities express to cease to be or exist by virtue of the simple expedient of denying them.
We are accustomed to regard the Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Chaldean, or Mayan pantheons–or even those of the Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, or Buddhists–as if their gods were the private property of those peoples and religions, and furthermore, as if these gods were altogether different from one another, having perfectly particular identities in a classified imaginary system. Thus, the reality of the sacred is reduced to mans' "speculative" capacity–or to a memo in a file cabinet. Yet it passes unobserved that these same men have acknowledged the deity by way of "numbers," or harmonic measures as patterns or modules of universal thought and the expression of the archetypal ideas. These archetypal ideas are always present–as constitutive parts of the cosmos, as these peoples' calendars reflect–and the symbols represent them. Their energy-force has never ceased to manifest itself, nor ever will, as long as time and space exist.

Who says that time & space exist except in our minds. Surely to the essence within & without us all, there is no time & space. Thus, only to the extent that we are focused on the point or focii (if you will) of the Divine, does time and space (T & S being the focii)have meaning. But T & S no longer have meaning once you elevate your perception to the vast Divine.

England's Phil Taylor beat the Netherlands' Raymond van Barneveld in the semifinals of the PDC World Darts Championship in London yesterday, but not without a little controversy. Van Barneveld appeared to refuse to let go of Taylor during the post-match handshake, the two exchanged words, and it was as on as darts allows.
"Not happy!" yelled the announcer, on the verge of soiling himself. "Shenanigans happening on stage!"
Darts is serious business over there. Like so many of our top athletes (he's a 13-time winner of this tournament), Taylor is a tattooed sex offender. I don't know a Dutchman alive I'd take over him in a brawl. Still, Taylor apologized for the spat with van Barneveld. He competes in the finals tomorrow against Michael van Gerwen, who he hasn't beaten in over a year.

Monday, WWE began opening its Hall of Fame doors to the class of 2006 while releasing a previously honoured member.
In a major announcement on Monday Night Raw, WWE announced that Bret "The Hitman" Hart would be inducted into the Hall in a ceremony on April 1 in Chicago as part of the WrestleMania XXII festivities.
Hart, widely considered to be one of the best wrestlers in the Fed's history, held numerous titles with the company during a career that spanned two decades. He held the then WWF Heavyweight Title on multiple occasions, as well as the Intercontinental Title and the Tag Team Titles with Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart.
Hart, who also held the United States Title and Heavyweight Title in World Championship Wrestling, was forced to retire in 1999 after sustaining a concussion during a match with Bill Goldberg. Despite having left WWE on bad terms in 1997 following the infamous "Survivor Series Screwjob", Hart had recently reconciled with the Fed. Last year, Hart and WWE came together to produce a DVD set, chronicling the Hitman's career.
Hart will also be inducted into the George Tragos/Lou Thesz Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame this summer.
At the same time, WWE also said farewell to 2005 HOF inductee Bob Orton Jr.
In a statement on wwe.com, it was announced that, "World Wrestling Entertainment has come to terms on the release of Bob Orton. We wish him the best in all future endeavors."
Orton, who had a lengthy career in WWE in the 1980s, had returned to the company prior to his induction into the Hall last year, acting as a manager for his son, Randy Orton. Occasionally, "Ace" would enter the ring again, primarily tagging with Randy.

March 6, 2011
The Little Giants' spring break trip to California continued on Sunday afternoon with a doubleheader at Chapman University. Wabash rallied from a 4-0 deficit in game one only to fall 6-5 in extra innings. The Little Giants were held to four hits in a 6-0 loss in the nightcap.
Senior Brian Van Duyn gave up a run in the first and three in the third before hitting a groove over the next 4-1/3 innings. He worked a total of 7-1/3 innings of seven-hit baseball, giving up three earned runs with two walks and four strikeouts.
Van Duyn's Wabash teammates gave him three runs in the top of the fourth inning. Sophomore Montana Timmons led off the frame with a double against the 17th-ranked Panthers, followed by a walk to John Holm. A wild pitch moved the runners to second and third. Freshman Trey Fankhauser was hit by a pitch to load the bases with two outs. Senior David Seibel delivered a clutch single to score Timmons (left), followed by a two-run single by senior Joe Johnson to draw Wabash to within a run of Chapman.
The Little Giants tied the game in the seventh on a sacrifice fly by John Pennington. Seibel led off the inning with a single and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Johnson. A Brian Lares single sent Seibel to third, setting up the game-tying fly ball by Pennington.
Chapman took a 5-4 lead in the eighth before Wabash rallied once again. Johnson was hit by a pitch to lead off the ninth inning and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Lares. Pennington singled to left to move Johnson to third, who then scored easily on an RBI double by Timmons — his second two-base hit of the ball game. Pennington tried to score on the hit by Timmons, but was thrown out at home to end the Little Giants' threat and send the game into extra innings.
Wabash went down in order in the 10th before the Panthers produced three hits off Luke Zinsmaster in the bottom of the inning to earn the victory.
Chris Widup took the loss in game two, working six innings as the starter while allowing just three runs on 10 hits with a walk and four strikeouts. JT Miller pitched one inning with two unearned runs crossing the plate. He gave up three hits with a walk and a strikeout. Eric Foust pitched the final inning of relief allowing an unearned run with two hits, a walk, and a strikeout.
Timmons finished the two-game set with three total hits and an RBI. Johnson collected one hit in four at-bats with two RBI. Seibel had two hits and an RBI.
Wabash falls to 2-5 with the pair of losses. The Little Giants continue their west coast trip with a single nine-inning contest at Whittier College on Monday afternoon.

Action News has learned that the ring could also be linked to former Philadelphia Flyer Mark Recchi - who now plays for the Pittsburgh Penguins, Janet Jones - who is the wife of hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, and the ring could be tied to the crime family of Bruno Scarfo.
About a dozen current NHL players placed wagers, said Fuentes, who declined to identify them.
And we wondered why the Pens have looked so bad all year? I'll bet all these 12 are Edzo and players, and they fixed the games. I feel much better knowing the real reason for this disaster
Roenick name cleared during investigation By abigailJeremy Roenick, player with hockey team Philadelphia Flyers, has had his name cleared after suspicions that he might have been involved in bets involving his own sport or team. Roenick has been investigated as part of a wider investigation involving National Sports Consultants- a company that sold betting tips on sports to gamblers.
The company was raided in April of this year, and Roenick became involved after US federal agents saw his name on their list of clients. Although it is true that Roenick paid the firm around US$50,000 for information and tips on sports, it has been found that none of this information involved the sport he played. Mike Johnston who was involved with the investigation has announced that "He (Roenick) never became a target of the investigation, and we at no time developed any information that he was involved in any illegal activityâ€.
While Roenick's name is now publicly cleared, eleven employees of National Sports Consultants have pleaded guilty to federal gambling charges. The company became the object of investigation when it was suspected that they were falsely selling information regarding sports, and for allegedly taking pay offs from some offshore online casinos. The investigations that have taken place have confirmed these suspicions and now eleven employees have admitted guilt in selling information they didn't actually possess.

So, as long as Recchi's involvement is gambling only, and not hockey gambling, he's fine.
That is really good to know! Recchi takes a lot of dumping on, but I still like the guy. Met him once when they Flyers were playing at MSG, and he is a class act off the ice.
There goes any remaining hope for an arena. The Governor will cite this as but an examply why a NHL franchise should not be involved with gambling and the slots board will agree. The final nail?

What if they were betting on their own team to just win and cover? haha Technically, nothing wrong with that either.

America's Oleaginous Affectation - Wax Lips
When Ralphie Parker's 4th Grade class dejectedly hand over their wax fangs to Mrs. Shields in the perennial holiday movie favorite, A Christmas Story, legions of grownups are reminded of what a penny used to buy at their local Woolworth's store. But there is far more to these paraffin playthings than a penny's worth of fun.
It is hard to recall a time when there were no wax fangs, lips, moustaches, or harmonicas for kids to smuggle into school. Most of us remember the peculiar disintegrating flavor of Wax Lips from bygone Halloweens and birthday parties but we don't know where these long-enduring icons of American culture actually started. The answer, oddly enough, can be found by way of the oil patch.
The 1859 birth of the oil industry and introduction of kerosene for illumination changed America. "This flood of American petroleum poured in upon us by millions of gallons, and giving light at a fifth of the cost of the cheapest candle," wrote British chandler James Wilson in 1879. Kerosene sales devastated the candle business, much like widespread use of electricity would impact the kerosene market at the turn of the century.
A byproduct of kerosene distillation, paraffin, soon found its way from refinery to marketplace in the form of sealing waxes and even chewing gums. By 1900, tallow candles were history as ninety percent of all candles were made from paraffin. The new century brought other new and surprising uses as well.
"Crayola" crayons were introduced by Binney & Smith in 1903 and were instantly successful. Edison's popular new phonographs needed paraffin for their wax cylinders. Then an inspired Buffalo, NY confectioner used fully refined, food-grade paraffin and a sense of humor to find a niche in America's imagination.
John W. Glenn had come to the United States from England at age 15 in 1888 and grew up in his father's wholesale candy business. When the elder Glenn passed away in 1912, son John continued the business as J.W. Glenn Co. There he introduced America to paraffin "penny chewing gum novelties," delighting children everywhere. His products' popularity grew quickly and by 1923, J.W. Glenn Co. employed almost 100 people, including 18 salesmen traveling nationwide from offices located at 65 Carroll St.
In 1927, Franklin C. Gurley, Sr. left his position at Buffalo's National Aniline & Chemical Co. to build a candy business of his own. He purchased Robert White's new confectionary company, W&F Manufacturing Co., which had incorporated only the year before to produce, "...all kinds of candies, chocolates, ice cream dainties and parafine (sic) novelties." Gurley reported his occupation as "confectioner" by the 1930 census.
Just a few blocks away, Glenn Confections was busily engaged in producing their popular paraffin novelties, and continued to do so after becoming the wax candy division of W&F Manufacturing Co. Wax horse teeth (said to taste like wintergreen), and other novelties chattered profitably down Glenn's production line while Franklin Gurley explored further expansion opportunities for his rapidly growing company.
W&F Mfg. began producing novelty candles for Socony-Vacuum Oil Co. in 1939, using paraffin from Socony's nearby refinery at Olean, NY -- once home to the world's largest crude oil storage site. W&F's "Tavern Candles" Santas, reindeer, elves and other colorful Christmas favorites are still prized by E-Bay collectors as are Gurley's elaborately molded Halloween candles. Decorative and scented Gurley paraffin candles soon became W&F Mfg.'s principal product, accounting for 98% of sales, but production of Glenn's wax candy novelties continued. A field of metal tanks, some holding 20,000 gallons of paraffin, stood adjacent to Gurley's Buffalo factory.
As W&F's wax candy division, Glenn Confections produced the popular ancestors of today's Wack-O-Wax and Nik-L-Nips. In the town of Emlenton PA, a few miles south of Oil City, the Emlenton Refining Co.
(and later the Quaker State Oil Refining Co.) supplied fully refined food-grade paraffin to W&F for these bizarre but beloved treats.
Quaker State veteran Barney Lewis remembers selling Emlenton paraffin to W&F Products. "It was always fun going to the plant in North Tonowanda, they were very secret about how they did stuff, but you always got a sample to bring home... Wax lips, Nickle NIPs - little coke bottle shaped wax filled with a colored syrup. Other companies supplied W&F, one being now the IGI Group in Canada." (International Group Inc., founded in 1943 as International Waxes Ltd. of Toronto.)
At its peak, W&F produced about 30-million novelty wax candies annually, but the company's principle product, decorative candles, fought an uphill battle as import competition became fierce. The price of paraffin went from 7¢ to 50¢ per pound during the 1982 oil shortage. W&F Products struggled. In 1994, after almost 70-years in business, the company failed. Its attorney summarized, "Unfortunately, competition from China and other Pacific Rim countries that rely on cheap labor ultimately forced W&F's decision to close its doors." Among the 250 former employees, rumors persisted that W&F was driven into bankruptcy by a failed pursuit of the Guinness record for "world's largest candle."
W&F Products' creditors scrambled for assets. The company was sold piecemeal, including the proprietary hardware that Glenn Confections had long used to produce their strange assortment of paraffin candies.
Ben Shepherd owned Challenger Candy Co., 650-miles away in Secor, IL where he produced bagged cotton candy. Shepherd bought Glenn Confections' unique wax candy equipment and hauled it from Buffalo to Secor, where he continued production of the nostalgic favorites. Despite a continuing national sweet tooth and the predictable Halloween demand for the novelties, Challenger Candy Co. lasted only a few years before going bankrupt. American Candy Co. of Selma, AL, in business since 1900, stepped in to once again rescue Wax Lips from oblivion.
Employee Earnest Shears traveled to the tiny community of Secor ("South East CORner" of Roanoke, IL) to help move the wax candy production machinery over 700 miles to the American Candy Company's 36,000 square foot plant in Selma. "In Secor, there was a post office, a tavern, and the Challenger Candy Company and that was all there was to the whole town. Nothing else. It took two or three months to move it all to Selma," Shears recalls.
American Candy Company's Wax Candy Division continued the long tradition of producing Wax Lips and other popular novelties that John W. Glenn had begun back in Buffalo, NY over 80-years earlier. But only briefly.
In 2002, after over 100-years in business, American Candy Co. fell to intense marketplace competition and filed for Chapter 11 protection. The company had once employed as many as 500 people. Wax Lips appeared doomed again as the company was sold off.
Then Concord Confections of Ontario, Canada came to the rescue. Concord purchased the Wax Candy Division for $3 million and moved it over 1,000 miles back to Concord, Ontario - only about 20-miles from the IGI Wax plant and "across the river" from Carroll Street in Buffalo were the novelty originated. Today as a small part of Tootsie-Roll Industries, Concord Confections continues to produce Wax Lips (Wack-O-Wax) and other paraffin candies for new generations of schoolchildren.
Despite a 2,000 mile itinerant business history and a long series of owners, Wax Lips survive to delight kids and prompt memories in the rest of us. Today, the petroleum industry produces an astonishing range of products for modern consumers. But among the many products that find their history in the oilfield, few are as unique, peculiar, and revered as Wax Lips.
Thanks to the American Oil & Gas Historical Society for this story.

Erectile Dysfunction FAQ's
Impotence, or penile erectile dysfunction, in men is not as rare as one would think it is.

but mental factors as well.
Exercising on a regular basis and eating healthy food will increase your ability to sustain prolonged physical effort and we all know that sex is effort.
Smoking, frequently drinking large quantities of alcohol, taking recreational drugs and lack of exercising will sap your stamina and also slow down the flow of blood.

For 25 years, Ancestry magazine has been a valuable, timely resource for family history professionals, hobbyists, and novices alike. For a variety of reasons, the time has come for us to discontinue publication. Over the last few years, we have found that with the expanded accessibility of terrific family history content published online at Ancestry.com we can reach a larger and broader audience than the limited distribution of a print publication.
The March/April 2010 issue will be the final issue of Ancestry magazine. Subscribers to Ancestry magazine with current subscriptions that will not be completed by the mailing of the March/April 2010 magazine will receive prorated refunds.

With a 6-foot-9, 255-pound frame Lipscomb center Adnan Hodzic is a force to be reckoned with underneath the basket.
But Hodzic didn't think he was being forceful enough, especially as a rebounder. Coach Scott Sanderson wholeheartedly agreed with Hodzic.
Thursday night against Kennesaw State at Allen Arena Hodzic decided to be relentless in his pursuit of the ball off the boards like a hungry bulldog grabbing a bone. He not only scored 24 points to extend his double figures scoring streak to 55 games, the longest in the nation, but he also recorded his ninth double-double of the season with 20 rebounds to spark a 74-66 win.
The rebound total was an all-time record in the NCAA era for a Lipscomb player. He broke the previous mark of 17 in a game set by Cameron Robinson against Jackson State on Dec. 8, 2005.
"Sorry Cam," Hodzic said.
It was only the fourth time in the A-Sun in the past nine years that a player has had a 20-20 game in points and rebounds. The last player to do it was Haminn Quaintance for Jacksonville with 26 points and 21 rebounds against Troy Jan 1, 2005.
"He was going after it," Sanderson said. "When he goes after it he can't help but get some rebounds. We needed every one of them."
Sanderson refused to take any credit for Hodzic's rebounding explosion.
"I have been saying the same things to him all year long," Sanderson said. "Maybe he heard it differently."
In addition to having Sanderson constantly questioning his rebounding skills, Hodzic was also disappointed that he managed only two rebounds at Florida Gulf Coast and five at Stetson in his previous two games.
"All season I have been trying to understand my value to the team," Hodzic said. "I was very upset about those last two games on the road. That was inexcusable for me. Coach Sanderson stayed on me. I realized I let my team now even though we got the wins.
"Coach has always told me to play smart and play aggressively. I found the line when it comes to being aggressive and being smart. I will give the coaches 95 percent of the credit. Five percent of the credit goes to me because I am able to get them."
The only negative to Hodzic's performance was that he grabbed half of the rebounds for the Bisons who finished with 40. The next highest individual total was four.
"Adnan is the only one that rebounded," Sanderson said. "Josh Slater got four and Brandon Brown got four and that's it. If Adnan doesn't get 20 we get killed on the backboards. He can't be the only guy."
Kennesaw State had 35 rebounds, but 15 of them were on the offensive boards with 13 in the second half.
"We did a better job of guarding them in the second half and they shoot 36.7 percent for the game," Sanderson said. "But we gave up 13 offensive rebounds in the second half.
"Guarding them is one thing. But rebounding is something else. We did a good job of guarding the first shot but we didn't rebound the ball. We have to do a better job after the first shot of rebounding the ball."
The Bisons are 16-12, 13-6 in the Atlantic Sun. Kennesaw State slipped to 12-18, 7-12 in the conference.
Saturday at 5 the Bisons close out the regular season against Mercer at Allen Arena. The game will be shown live on CSS. The Bisons are still in the running for the A-Sun regular season championship and the first seed in the tournament.
The Bisons had to hold off a late run by Kennesaw State. With the Bisons leading 67-64 forward Michael Teller found the range on a 3-pointer with 1:31 left, his only points of the game, to stop Kennesaw State's run.
"I was proud of Michael Teller," Sanderson said. "He stepped up and hit the biggest shot of the game to put us up by six. That was a huge shot for him and for us. I was glad to see him knock it down."
The Bisons led 37-30 at intermission. Hodzic had 14 points and nine rebounds in the first 20 minutes.
The biggest lead for the Bisons in the second half was 13, 46-33, as forward Jordan Burgason connected on a 3-pointer with 17:22 left to play.
Kennesaw State twice cut the lead down to four. With 14:03 they trailed 44-40 on a layup by guard Markeith Cummings. With 13:17 remaining forward LaDaris Green scored on a tip-in to make it 50-46.
Cummings scored on a layup with 1:58 and was fouled on the play. He hit a free throw to make it 67-64 and set the stage for Teller's heroics.
In the first half the Bisons jumped out to a 7-6 lead and never trailed the rest of the way. But Sanderson never felt confident until the final buzzer sounded.
"They have always been a scary team to me," Sanderson said. "Every time we would get away from them they would come right back."
Also in double figures for the Bisons were Slater with 15 and Burgason with 12.
Kennesaw State was led by Cummings with 22 points. Green added 13 points and also had a double-double with 12 rebounds. Guard Kurtis Woods chipped in with 12 and forward Jon-Michael Nickerson scored 10.

Besam Paare (Spicy Indian Crackers)
This is my first attempt at making Besam Paare (Spicy Indian Crackers). For the recipe, please go here.
I have memories of eating very delicious spicy home made crackers at a neighbor's house when I was little, and I had a craving for them. I'm not sure if Manjula's recipe is exactly the same, but I think these are similar to the ones I remember eating. It could be the flavor of carom seeds and lentil flour that bring back memories.
I had a nice relaxing afternoon with a teapot of sweetened cardamom tea, eating these and just staring at the Mediterranean sea.

By the time you read this, MOTHER'S Eco-Village property will be getting ready to open its gates for the summer, and thousands of folks will have the opportunity to view our earth-sheltered house firsthand. We hope the building will have interesting features that will be relevant to nearly anyone's favorite energy-efficient housing concept.
During the ongoing planning process we've tried to remember that earth sheltering and/or passive solar design may not be every future homeowner's cup(s) of tea, so we've attempted — wherever practical — to experiment with an assortment of alternative heating and cooling techniques. In this issue, for example, we'll describe our hybrid-solar collection and storage system... a setup that — though not strictly necessary in a dwelling with the inherent energy efficiency of ours — has proved to be quite impressive.
Passive Solar Energy and a Ducting SystemBecause of the extensive use of glazing on the south side of our house, two areas can — on sunny days — become warmer than is necessary: The sun-heated air tends to gather both in the greenhouse and at the peak of the second-story roof. Of course, the presence of 90-degree-Fahrenheit-plus temperatures at those two locations doesn't pose a comfort problem for the structure's occupants (and it would be easy enough to vent the excess heat, anyway), but we simply couldn't bear to let all that warmth go to waste.
Consequently, we decided to set up a ducting system that could capture heat from both spots and either direct it to the floor area immediately or store it for future use. Essentially, during collection, warmth is pulled actively (by a 1/3-horsepower blower) from the greenhouse and from a triangular passageway that runs along the peak of the second-story ceiling.
The air is routed through ductwork (it's made from fiberglass board) to an enclosed rock storage area located beneath the east-end bedroom floor. The box was built from plywood (with a supporting framework) and insulated with polystyrene board, then the bottom of the container was lined with 8-by-16-inch concrete blocks placed on their sides and spaced about an inch apart. Our crew handpicked a little more than 10 tons of approximately 3-inch-diameter washed river rock to fill the storage bed to a level about 6 inches below the top.
To give our rock bed the capability of handling both storage and heating, we cut openings at the top and bottom of the east and west ends and then built plenums, from fiberglass ductboard, to encase each of the two pairs of openings. Each chamber has a valve inside which will join either its top or its bottom rock bed opening to the connecting ductwork.
With the system in its storage mode, air from the greenhouse is drawn through a passage that connects to the roof-peak duct, where it joins more solar-heated air that's pulled in through round registers set into the bottom of the nearly roof-length chamber. From there the combined BTU drop down to the east end of the rock bed, and the valve in that plenum directs the warmth into the top of the storage. As it passes between the rocks, the heat is left in the cooler material and the air exits by slipping between the blocks through the cores and then out of the box. The cycle is completed once the air passes the blower and is pushed through the return duct to the greenhouse.
When the heat from the rock bed is needed in the home, the valve on the east end of the storage area forces air to enter the bottom of the box, while that on the west end makes it exit at the top. Meanwhile, yet another valve closes off the greenhouse return, thereby directing the warmth gathered from the rocks into the living area. Of course, the air that's entering the rock bed — in either the heating or the storage mode — comes from the roof-peak duct, and helps to prevent warmth from stratifying near the ceiling. At the same time, the passage connecting the greenhouse to the roof-peak duct is still open. But, because the return air duct to the greenhouse is closed, pressure balance prevents the occurrence of any significant flow through that passageway. (Naturally, the various doors and windows in the greenhouse must be well sealed.)
If you're familiar with conventional forced air systems, you've probably noticed that our arrangement seems to work backwards. That is, instead of drawing cool air through a short duct, heating it and then pressurizing a ductwork labyrinth with a blower, we're actually sucking air through the majority of our building's passages. The fellows who thought out and built the system were a bit concerned about how much of a pressure drop might occur when the moving air encountered the resistance presented by the rock bed, too, but measurements with a manometer have revealed that there's water depression of only 0.20 inch from one side to the other at an airflow rate of 1,000 cubic feet per minute.
It was our people's intention to make the controls for the system as stone simple (if you'll excuse the expression) as possible, and they've managed to arrange for the whole setup to rely upon one manually operated control. Of course, there are several "air handlers" on the market that will do everything this arrangement does (and more) without the homeowner's lifting a finger. What's more, we can easily envision ways that our system could be made more automatic — at some expense, however. On the one hand, our manual control does require a commitment from the occupants to stay in tune with the building's rate of solar gain. But on the other hand, it doesn't require the commitment of at least a thousand dollars that a more automated arrangement would demand.
A Hybrid Passive SystemWhile hooking up the hybrid collection system, we also elected to include a few passive links from the greenhouse to the living area. These include a pair of ducts running from the west end of the greenhouse back to the west bedroom. One of the passages ends next to an intake for the roof-peak duct, while the other merely spills air directly into the room. By controlling the former register and the one in the roof-peak duct itself, we can either draw air from the greenhouse for storage or central heating, or just let it flow into the room naturally.
We've also set a pair of floor-level vents against the front wall of the guest bedroom/den, to create a passive thermosiphoning link between the greenhouse and the living area. The system allows the heat to rise to the greenhouse roof, flow up the pair of ducts into the upstairs west bedroom, spill down the stairs into the living room and return to the greenhouse through the floor-level vents in the guest bedroom/den.
It's a little early to estimate exactly how much solar boost MOTHER EARTH NEWS' house will get from the system discussed here. Our early calculations indicate that the rock bed should be able to store about 3,500 BTU for each 1 degree Fahrenheit that we can raise its temperature above that of the home's interior. Thus a 20 degree Fahrenheit increase in that storage area could provide a very useful amount of backup heat to our low-loss building.
On the other hand, of course, if a home were to depend to any significant extent upon rock storage for its heat, the bed would obviously have to be quite a lot larger than is our display unit (30-ton setups aren't at all uncommon). Still, the success or failure of our mini-system won't be determined until we can see how well the rock storage will actually warm the house. And now that the basic energy systems for the building are in place, we're beginning to get some data from the thermometers placed around the interior.
However, as the sun rises higher in the sky each day, our thoughts are beginning to turn toward the problem of keeping cool this summer.
This is part of a seven-part series on building My Mother's House.

Shawn L. Sweet
May 27, 1968- July 23, 2011 Shawn Lee Sweet, 43, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, July 23, 2011 in North Country Hospital in Newport. He was born on May 27, 1968 in Burlington, VT son of Eric (Rick) and Aline (Pouliot) Sweet. Shawn was raised in Fletcher graduating from Bellows Free Academy Fairfax in 1986. He wore many "hats" during his short life but his last "hat" was that of a welding/metal fabrication instructor at North Country Career Center. Before dedicating his life to teaching, Shawn was a member of the Plumbers and Pipefitters Local #693 for 20 years. Shawn will be remembered for his love, support and dedication to his family and friends. It did not matter what he was doing, if help was needed, Shawn would be there. He will also be remembered for his passion in sharing his knowledge of the welding trade. He poured his heart and soul into his students over the past 5+ years at the North Country Career Center teaching and coaching basketball. When he wasn't spending time with loved ones, you could find him out in a garage tinkering on a vehicle and more often than not, it was his Jeep Scrambler which he completely rebuilt. Shawn had a love and passion for many things, some of which included hunting, snowmobiling, 4-wheeling, playing softball and golf just to name a few. He is survived by his two daughters Shaunna Sweet of Shelburne and Mariaé Sweet of Shelburne; his parents Eric and Aline (Pouliot) Sweet of Fletcher; a brother Jessee Sweet and his fiancée Samantha Sanders of Fletcher; three sisters Renée Davis and husband Michael of Johnson, Kelley Koch and husband Christopher of Fairfax, Erika Kreher and husband Brian of Millstadt, IL; and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins. Visiting hours will be held today Wednesday, July 27, 2011 from 2– 4 p.m. and at 7–9 p.m. at A. W. Rich Funeral Home–Fairfax Chapel. Funeral services will be held on Thursday, July 28, 2011 at 11 a.m. at BFA–Fairfax with the Reverend Elizabeth Griffin officiating. A committal service will be held on Friday, July 29, 2011 at 12:30 p.m. in the family lot in Binghamville Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to a scholarship to be established in his name at North Country Career Center care of Eric Sweet, 61 Sweet Berry Lane, Cambridge, VT 05444. Arrangements are by John D. Workman, A. W. Rich Funeral Home–Fairfax Chapel, 1176 Main Street, Fairfax, VT 05454.

A 72x72 and 512x512 icon in Photoshop or illustrator and exported to png.
I would like to make all icons of this app and future apps consistent.
I was thinking of a simple, elegant and slick design with some blue and white of gray.
Keep it simple, just let it be a great metaphor for google tasks.
I added a screenshot of the first beta version of the app and a sample icon.
If you have another idea for a better metaphor, i'm eager to hear about it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Many of the same questions frequently arise from merit badge counselors, especially those who are new to the program. Here are the answers to some of those FAQs.
|Unit leaders are not automatically approved to serve as merit badge counselors.
Question: Must individuals who are serving as a merit badge counselor register as a merit badge counselor with the Boy Scouts of America?
Answer: Yes, an Adult Application must be completed for each position in which the individual wants to serve. The application allows only one position per form. For instance, an individual who wants to serve only as a merit badge counselor will need to complete only one application. However, a Scoutmaster or assistant Scoutmaster who wants to serve as a merit badge counselor must complete two applications—one for the Scoutmaster position and one for the counselor position.
Question: Once the adult leader application has been submitted, how long does the approval process take?
Answer: The process usually takes from four to six weeks.
Question: What is the minimum age requirement for merit badge counselors?
Answer: An individual must be at least 18 years of age to serve as a merit badge counselor.
Question: Once a volunteer is registered and approved as a merit badge counselor, is that registration for life?
Answer: Approvals for merit badge counselors and all other adult volunteer positions are valid for one year only and must be renewed annually.

There are no upcoming events to display at this time.
St. Louis Spirits has been an excellent place for my daughter to exert all of her energy, have fun, and gain confidence while she learns the basics of gymnastics. The staff are patient and caring. You can tell they enjoy what they do. Rates and convenience to home are a plus too! Thanks Spirits!
We chose Spirits because it is close to home, there are lots of class times available, and our daughter likes the teachers
I love the family atmosphere and that every teacher cares about my child. What can [Spirits] do to improve my experience? Nothing!
We wanted a fun way for her to exercise and Spirits sounded like a great place on the website. We love that {our daughter) is learning the basics of gymnastics and having fun! I can see how strong she is getting.
"We have been very happy with the Ninja classes! My boys have become so muscular and have learned so much in such a short time! They are involved in several sports but this is my 2nd graders favorite thing by far. He wants to have his birthday there in December"
~Helena Wilson
I have loved Spirits since the first time we walked in the door and will continue to bring my daughter as long as she has the drive!! Thanks for always going to the extra mile to make class fun and meet the needs of the kiddos!!!!
We want to Thank you for everything you do. We can not express to you how happy we have been at Spirits. Through the kind notecards my daughter receives in the mail to the email I received on Mother's Day you are truly the best. We have been at other places and see the difference you make in our daughter's life. You truly care about the whole child, not just as a gymnast.
It is nice to be involved with such an organized and positive facility with great employees.

Named after English stonemason Thomas Cully, this Northeast neighborhood is a culturally diverse urban area with a mix of commercial and residential development. Cully is bordered by the Concordia, Sumner, Roseway, Rose City Park, and Beaumont-Wilshire neighborhoods.
Cully largely consists of modest family houses such as ranches, smaller Craftsman styles, and starter homes. There is a strong sense of community identity and active neighborhood involvement within Cully. The Rigler Community Garden, a gathering place for children and adults to garden and provide a healthy food source, is a true testament to this.
From June through September, Cully Farmer's Market is opened on Thursdays and offers live music, a pop-up library and an endless amount of sustainable and healthy food. Head over to 42nd Avenue to the many restaurants and cafes for an assortment of food and drink options. There are also a couple family-run businesses that are neighborhood fixtures on 42nd that provide the community with homemade goods.
Aside from the Rigler Community Garden, residents of Cully also have Sacajawea Park and Whitaker Ponds Nature Park within their borders. Whitaker Ponds Nature Park has two ponds, a ½ mile loop trail, and a canoe launch into Whitaker Slough. A black cottonwood forest surrounds the ponds. The Lewis & Clark Garden features a huge collection of plant communities from across the United States. You won't be the only visitor at the park with the wide assortment of animals that are frequent to the area.
Private mortgage insurance is an insurance policy that a residential mortgage lender requires of the borrower if the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of the home is greater than 80%. Mortgage insurance protects the lender from the risk that the borrower may default on the loan. Federal law requires lenders to notify borrowers when the loan-to-value ratio drops below 80%. Mortgage insurance premiums vary, but generally range from $1,000 to $5,000 a year for an average priced home.

I have seen the other sites. I have been to the conventions and met these people. For example, a real popular glamour site out there updates with normally two photo sets a week and maybe a video. That's it? I was amazed when I heard that. I had to see for myself. No way their site was so popular and that was the extent of their updates. I signed up myself and sure enough that's it?! Here's how I do it. Each and every Saturday I update my site with at least 9 photosets! Each containing on average between 100 and 300 photos. But that's not all! I also update with at least 6 new movies every single week.

Been an incredible Summer so far! Amazing time in California in early July, and now on a series of regional festivals. The UMS last weekend in Denver was awesome once again. And very thankful for all the great bands we've been playing with as of late. Most of the rest of our Summer shows are in Idaho and Wyoming, but there will be some more NW dates announced soon for the Fall. However, most of the Fall will be dedicated to writing and recording a new album. Full remaining Summer dates below.

By creating a special space that is dedicated to the memory of your loved one, friends and family can have a place to return to connect and remember a special person. With constant life stresses such as work, family obligations, and the need to stay busy, we often fail to give ourselves an adequate amount of time to truly heal.
Having a permanent memorial space can help with the healing process when it comes to grieving the loss of a loved one. Legacy Funeral & Cremation Care advisors can help you create this unique environment by working together to find the perfect space to pay tribute.
A Place As Beautiful As Their Life
Your loved one deserves a place of permanent memorialization that is as special as they were. Whether they chose a traditional burial in a cemetery or even a cremation garden, this place should be accessible for friends and family members to visit when they feel the urge to connect with their loved one.
This is especially true for young children, as death may be a difficult concept to understand. A place of permanent memorialization allows them to understand their history while learning about the process of life in an enlightening way.
Create a place that honors the life of your loved one. It takes a lot of love to make up a life, so provide friends and family with a place to cherish their memories forever. For more information on how to choose the right permanent memorialization, and to discuss merchandise options, contact us at your convenience by calling (619) 333-8003.
Settings with Significance
Everyone has a special place feel like you're at home, regardless of the connection. Whether this is in nature or in a sacred place, we understand that the final resting place of your loved one's cremated remains should be meaningful.
We offer various settings that hold significance, including:
Forever Amongst the Waves
For many, the ocean has an almost magical draw, if your loved one was at peace on the water, this could be the right setting for them. We work with trusted providers to bring you and your loved one's remains on an ocean trip to one of our beautiful coastal locations.
Eternity at the Holyland
Upon choosing this setting, we take the cremated ashes to Israel, where the professionals at Holyland Ash Scattering help to scatter the ashes year-round.
You can choose from one of two locations to find the most meaningful resting place for your loved one:
- A certified marine captain will scatter the ashes into the Mediterranean Sea, around 500 meters off of the Israeli coast. If your loved one felt most at home around the water, there is no better holy resting place.
- The ashes can be scattered overlooking the Sea of Galilee throughout the hills of the Holyland in our private and serene memorial garden.
Shortly after the scattering of the ashes, you'll receive a free video and certificate which shares the date, time, and geographical coordinates of the final resting place of your loved one.
Tree Planting for a Meaningful Life
The Spiritree is a biodegradable urn, two-piece container with an organic bottom shell to hold cremated remains, and a protective top shell to keep the remains safe from the elements, no matter the weather.
Over time, the tree will grow and naturally break down the urn, transforming into a living memorial for your loved one. This option is environmentally safe and allows your loved one to be honored while keeping the Earth a beautiful place.
