A VISIT FROM THE POPE: IN ROME;For Pope, Busy Day at Vatican Before Leaving for U.S.
By CELESTINE BOHLEN
Published: October 4, 1995
ROME, Oct. 3— Msgr. Timothy Dolan, rector of the Pontifical North American College here, had been worried that the preparations for Pope John Paul II's visit to the United States, which begins on Wednesday, might overwhelm the Pope's schedule today, forcing him to cancel a planned meeting with 22 recently ordained American deacons.
But the ceremony took place as scheduled, in Clementine Hall, just off the Apostolic apartments on the third floor of the Vatican. The 75-year-old Pontiff mingled for 15 minutes with the young deacons and members of their families, and gave them his blessing.
It was a magnificent audience," said Monsignor Dolan, who said the Pope looked "robust and smiling" and made a point of telling three deacons from the New York area, "I go there tomorrow."
Also this morning, Pope John Paul met with members of an international congress of anti-abortion movements, sponsored by the Vatican, whom he urged to tackle the issue of abortion on all fronts.
"It's clear to everyone that the defense of life is a commitment that belongs not only in the private moral sphere but also is a social and political question," said the Pope, speaking in the Vatican's Paul VI Hall. "More than that, it should be the very reason for the existence of political society."
In an encyclical issued last March, Pope John Paul had again set out his unwavering opposition to abortion, artificial contraception, euthanasia and all forms of artificial fertilization, anything that he has defined as a violation of the sanctity of life.
By repeating the same calls for resistance to what he has called the "culture of death," he signaled that his message to American Catholics on those issues will be as uncompromising as ever, no matter how difficult that may be for some of those who come out to greet him this week.
This day in the Apostolic apartments began like most others. The Pope rose before dawn at 5:30 A.M., and celebrated Mass two hours later in his private Vatican chapel. After breakfast, he met with the Vatican Secretary of State, Angelo Cardinal Sodano, and his deputy, Msgr. Giovanbattista Re, presumably to discuss both his meeting on Wednesday with President Clinton in Newark and his speech on Thursday to the United Nations.
In remarks to the new deacons -- men ordained to serve local churches and perform some, though not all, of the liturgical duties usually carried out by priests -- Pope John Paul referred to his visit to the United Nations, the cornerstone of his trip. He asked them to pray for an organization that he said "needs to be able to meet the ever-increasing demands being made on it in the service of world peace and development."
At 11 A.M., after a rest, he received more visitors -- the Apostolic Nuncio, or Vatican diplomatic representative, to Australia, an Archbishop from Poland, and a Vatican envoy to the African countries of Cameroon, Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.
If he had private guests for lunch, the Vatican would not say who they were, except to list his personal secretary, Msgr. Stanislaw Dziwisz, who has been at his side since he was Archbishop of Cracow in Poland. The rest of the afternoon was set aside for reading, personal visits including another meeting with Cardinal Sodano and Monsignor Re, evening prayer, dinner, and bed by 10:30 P.M..
On his last Sunday in Rome before his dizzying four-day trip to the United States, Pope John Paul beatified 64 martyrs from the French Revolution, 45 priests, nuns and faithful killed in the Spanish Civil War, and a 16th-century Italian. Beatification is the penultimate step to sainthood in the Roman Catholic Church, requiring evidence of one miracle attributable to the beatified person, who is designated "blessed."
On Monday, the Pope issued a message of condolence to the Xaverian missionary order over the murder in southwestern Burundi of two priests and a Catholic laywoman who had assisted at the mission as an aid worker. The Pope termed the murders of the three Italians in Burundi a "barbaric killing" and called for a "peace founded on justice and reconciliation" in the heavily Catholic country, where tens of thousands of people have been killed in the civil war.

What On Earth is getting around (all thanks to Ocado)
Award winning food company's organic products now available through Ocado
What On Earth has recently joined forces with online retailer, Ocado, and has launched 12 of its organic products on the grocery site. By the end of October more than 20 of What On Earth's brightly branded products will be listed and available to buy, including the company's much loved pizzas and cheesecakes.
Currently serving mainly London, the Home Counties and a handful of areas in the south west of England, What On Earth's distribution area is fairly modest. Selling products through Ocado, therefore, will allow the fun loving company to push its food further and serve a larger customer base.
Jeremy Jaffé, co-owner of What On Earth, said: "Launching our products with Ocado is a huge step for us and one we are extremely excited about. Our business model has always been to stick with the smaller retailers and this is something we will continue to do. But working with Ocado is an excellent way for our products to be enjoyed on a nationwide scale, not to mention a great opportunity for us to work with such a respected company.
"So many consumers ask us where they can buy our products but if they're not based near London it can be difficult to give them an answer. Now we can just tell them to go on the Ocado site. It's great being this accessible. What's more we feel we are an ideal fit for Ocado as we have a very similar code of conduct. We are an extremely ethical and environmentally friendly business and we believe in offering the utmost in customer service."
There are currently 12 of What On Earth's organic desserts listed on Ocado, including traditional British favourites such as crumbles, sponge puddings, cheesecakes and fools. The company will also add organic custard to its offering.
By the end of October What On Earth's popular organic pizzas will be added to the site. Nine organic pizzas will be included in the range – six different 11" pizzas and three types of children's pizzas.
Lovingly handmade with the finest ingredients, What On Earth's delectable organic food offers the best in quality and excellence. Each product has been individually created with care, attention and integrity in order to reach the highest of standards.
The company's organic pizzas are made in its London based kitchens whereas all the desserts are made in the grassy dales of Somerset – home to What On Earth's Soil Association and BRC accredited patisserie.
Established in 1998 by Jeremy Jaffé and Rolf de Polla, What On Earth is an award winning, manufacturer, supplier and distributor of high end organic food. The company has strong environmental values and was awarded three trophies at the Wandsworth Green Business Awards last year.
Jeremy and Rolf also own Simply Nectar, a range of award winning and ethically produced fruit juices and nectars. The drinks are high in vitamins and free from all pesticides, colours and refined sugars.

About What on Earth
Established 14 years ago, What on Earth is a leading, award winning organic food manufacturer. Starting with just one humble, organic pizza, the company has grown considerably over the years and now produces a wide range of high quality food products, all of which are high in vitamins and minerals but contain no GMOs, additives or pesticides. In recent years What On Earth has begun to make a selection of non-organic products in order to produce innovative items and keep up with the changing market. What on Earth sources the best ingredients from around the world for all its products and constantly strives to reduce any environmental impacts.
What on Earth was founded by Jeremy Jaffé and Rolf de Polla, both of whom are still at the helm of the company. Originally owners of classic car dealerships, the pair decided to move into the food industry as they were keen to put the goodness back into food and change society's palate. What on Earth has its headquarters in London but also owns a depot in Bridgwater, Somerset. The company supplies its products to a selection of food stores, delis, cafes and restaurants across the UK. Jeremy and Rolf also own Simply Nectar, a range of sugar free fruit juices and nectars.

The standard strong lorry converted to carry a couple of dozen passengers is certainly not luxurious. But the overland truck provides an ideal way to reach parts of Africa that are expensive or difficult to reach on your own. Overland journeys mean hands-on, dust-in-your-hair travel. You need a taste for adventure and a sense of fun. On most overland trips, you put up your own tent, and help with cooking or buying supplies along the way. When the truck gets stuck in mud, you help push it out.
Not really. You participate, but you don't totally rough it - as any of the old-timers will tell you. In overlanding's early days, trucks were ex-Army Bedfords with wooden benches in the back and some basic equipment tied to the roof. Today, purpose-built Scanias, Fords and Mercedes have comfortable seats, personal lockers, a kitchen, fridge and music system.
You still camp, but most overland companies intersperse canvas with simple hotels. Some offer more hotels than camping and even the services of an on-board chef.
Overlanding is ideal for young solo travellers, and provides a great introduction to Africa for first-timers. After an initial taste in an overland truck, many people go back for a deeper experience - such as a specialist wildlife safari - or just a more comfortable one. Travel by overland truck also means the logistics are taken care of: the driver-guides handle things like entry permits and border-crossings, while you enjoy the scenery.
Oh yes - and compared to most other organised tours in Africa, overlanding is cheap.
The options are vast, and costs vary by season, but to give an idea, a 52-day Nairobi to Cape Town trip with Oasis Overland (see box for contact details) has a tour price around £650 plus £295 kitty. This is the no-frills end of the market; a 63-day trip on the same route with the well-respected operator Exodus costs around £1,725 plus £525 kitty. Whichever you choose, you must add the cost of flights to the starting city and from the end point. In this example, you could spend an extra £600 or £700 for air travel, giving a price range of about £1,600 to £2,900 and a "daily rate" of £30 to £46 - not bad for the trip of your life.
It's a long-standing overland tradition that on top of the tour price, passengers contribute - in cash - to a kitty that pays for items along the way. Depending on the company, the kitty pays for food, campsites and entrance to wildlife areas, or just minor incidentals.
Ostensibly, it gives "freedom to the group to control spending levels", but it's non-negotiable, so you should just regard it as part of the cost.
Yes indeed. Several companies offer an "ultimate trans-Africa" or similarly titled trip. Overland Club's 18-week Cairo to Cape Town costs around £1,260, plus £290 kitty. Dragoman Overland offers two options: the more straightforward Encounter trip at around £2,000 plus £700 kitty for 18 weeks; and the more comfortable Classic Dragoman trip at around £4,200 plus £1,000 kitty for 20 weeks. Other trans-African journeys skip Egypt and go via West Africa instead. Economic Expeditions' 29 weeks from Morocco to The Cape costs £1,650 plus £775 kitty. Some Cape to Cairo trips actually fly over Sudan and northern Kenya because of difficult and/or dangerous travel conditions. Others are genuinely overland.
Definitely. Some overland companies include excursions - such as guided walks, houseboat stays, and mini-safaris by jeep or boat in national parks - in the tour cost. Others don't. Not surprisingly, those with no included excursions tend to boast the lowest brochure prices. But add up the cost of all those optional extras and you're looking at an extra cost of around £200 to £500 on an average trip, up to £1,500 on a long trip.
Admittedly, this gives you more choice. If you don't want to go white-water rafting at Victoria Falls (about £50) or quad-biking in Namibia (£40), or to stay in a houseboat on Lake Kariba (£50) you don't have to, and you don't have to pay for it. But if you're likely to do as much as you can on your trip, you're usually better off paying a higher brochure price and getting more excursions included.
It's not just excursions that are optional. Some overland companies include three meals per day. With others, it's only two - you buy your own lunch when not out in the wilds. This is not a catch: it gives you more choice. But bear it in mind when calculating your spending money for the trip.
In short, there's a wide variation between the overland companies. Once you decide what style of trip you want, it pays to study the brochures and, most importantly, the bits that say "What's included" and "What's excluded".
Hundreds. The whole overland industry has shifted emphasis in the last decade or so, away from trans-African epics towards shorter trips. You still get the overland truck experience, but you need not give up your job or leave home for half a year.
Three-week trips include the very popular Victoria Falls to Cape Town route, via Botswana and Namibia, for £330 plus £175 kitty with Absolute Africa; £575 plus £130 with Kumuka; £695 plus £250 with Dragoman Overland. A four-week trip on the same route with Guerba costs £935 plus £150. Air fares are, of course, extra.
For something in between, many companies allow you to combine one or more short trips to make a longer journey of six or 10 weeks. For example, a Kenya and Tanzania trip plus a Malawi and Zambia trip and a Botswana and South Africa trip equals an East & Southern Africa Explorer.
Sometimes. Africa is a big place, and the distances can be huge. Prepare yourself for some long, hard driving days. But this is offset by stops in one place, such as Botswana's Okavango Delta, or a beach on the shores of Lake Malawi.
For those times on the road, check the seat layouts offered by the different companies. Some are arranged aircraft-style, all facing forward, which is better for seeing where you're going. Others have inward facing seats, which is more sociable. Some go for a mix.
The possibility of being stuck with a group of fellow travellers you may not like. But overland travel breeds companionship and generally everyone gets on famously. Nothing strengthens bonds better than digging a truck out of sand in the middle of the Sahara.
Then maybe an overland truck (or any organised tour) isn't for you. It's perfectly possible to overland through Africa by other means (see below). But compared with most other types of group travel, overlanding offers considerable flexibility - particularly on the longer trips where the group and driver can discuss options for an up-coming stage of the journey. You might weigh up, say, two days of easy driving followed by two days on the beach, or one hard push followed by three days of R&R.
On longer trips there's also plenty of free time; many trucks park up at Dar es Salaam in Tanzania for a week while you catch the boat over to Zanzibar. Sometimes you can even go off on your own for a few days and catch up with the truck later.
Most are in their twenties and early thirties. Students, backpackers and those of a like mind, often on a gap-year or career break. They're mainly from the UK, Ireland, Canada, US, Australia and New Zealand, with a few continental Europeans thrown in; the overland market is dominated by British companies but outfits from Germany, France, Spain and so on cater for their own nationalities.
The male-female mix is about equal. Some passengers go as couples, others as groups of friends, and about half as solo travellers.
Maybe. Some overland companies promote themselves to this market. And if that's your scene, you'll have a great time. Overland passengers I interviewed over the years have referred to their vehicle as a "booze bus" or "rave truck" - with glee or disdain, depending on what they expected.
If that is not your idea of a good trip, no problem. Several companies go for a wider appeal and offer a slightly more refined experience, without losing the fun and adventure. These include Exodus, Guerba and Dragoman Overland, while Africa in Focus offers "style and comfort for the more discerning traveller" and specifies "we are not for students who want to party every night".
Dragoman has new trips through West Africa, including the already legendary Festival of the Desert - a must for world music fans. Africa in Focus includes optional photography workshops - ideal for avoiding those "the dot on the horizon is an elephant" moments back home. There's even an on-board computer for burning digital images on to CD.
Younger travellers are catered for, too. Trips for all the family comprise the fastest-growing part of the overland market. Check out the specific family trips offered by Guerba and Dragoman Overland.
If it has been some time since you saw your twenties and thirties, no problem. Overlanding is more about attitude than actual age. You need all the usual attributes to enjoy travel. You need an open mind. You must relish the idea of foreign places and unusual situations. On top of that you need to be gregarious, and tolerant of other people (and their habits).
You may be. A lot depends on what you want to get out of your trip. When the truck parks up for a day or two it can be tempting to sit around and drink beer with your truck-mates, instead of going out to explore the colourful local market, hike up a nearby mountain or visit a local school and pass the time of day with the kids. Some companies employ African driver-guides (mainly from Kenya, Tanzania and Zimbabwe) who are often able to give more cultural insights than drivers from, say, Britain or Australia.
Try to get some personal recommendations. Many companies' websites publish comments from satisfied customers, but understandably they tend to focus on the most positive responses. Some list past clients happy to offer unbiased advice. A good source of independent feedback on the various companies and Africa overlanding in general is the Thorn Tree, the Lonely Planet travellers' forum ( www.lonelyplanet.com).
Many overland companies also cover South America, Asia and the Middle East. For a real pan-continental experience, Dragoman Overland and Phoenix Expeditions (among others) offer travel through Europe, then through Turkey and the Levant via Istanbul, and Damascus, before continuing from Cairo to the Cape. Tempted? Clear your diary for the best part of nine months.
If trans-African travel appeals, but overland trucks don't, there are several other options. You can do what millions of Africans do - go by public transport. Taking the longest of long-distance bus rides you could go from Nairobi to Cape Town with just three changes (Dar, Lusaka and Jo'burg), but smaller stages and frequent breaks would make for a more enjoyable experience - and be easier on the spine.
A train is another option. Although the Cape to Cairo railway, the dream of Cecil Rhodes, was never realised, you can ride the rails through South Africa, Zimbabwe or Botswana, parts of Zambia, Tanzania, Sudan and Egypt, taking buses or Great Lakes ferries on the sections in between. Guidebooks such as Lonely Planet's classic Africa on a Shoestring, or Bradt's East & Southern Africa, will show you the way.
Then there's self-drive. You could join the folks who give up work, sell the house, buy a Land Rover and drive across the Sahara bound for the Cape of Good Hope. Or follow the motorbikers and hardy cyclists covering the continent on two wheels. The best sources of information are Africa Overland by Sian Pritchard-Jones, and Sahara Overland by Chris Scott.
And finally, for those short on time, there's rental. Safari Drive (01488 71140; www.safaridrive.com) has a fleet of fully equipped Land Rovers based around Africa, available for hire for two weeks - or as long as you want.

Although no two days on an overland truck are the same, there is something of a pattern. Driving days begin early, either because there's a long way to go, or because you're heading out to look for wildlife. A quick breakfast, then drop your tent, and load your bag on to the truck. All overland companies supply tents and camp stools, but you'll need to take your own sleeping bag, and sometimes a camping mat. For warm nights, or small hotels, a mosquito net is invaluable.
Most drives don't seem so long, because the scenery is stunning and the hours fly by. But sometimes the flat plain of the Sahel or the low bush lining Zambia's main highway seems to go on for ever, and then time slows down.
Lunch may be a stop at a small town market, or in the middle of the savannah. Before sunset, the truck will stop, and you'll pitch your tent again. Some of the party will be rostered to help prepare dinner. Others enjoy a beer. The group may meet to discuss the itinerary for the next few days. After dinner - more beers round the campfire, or perhaps at a nearby bar.Reuse content

Soccer: Spurs stay unbeaten but made to work hard by Bournemouth
(Reuters) - - Tottenham Hotspur continued their best start to a season for 26 years by maintaining their unbeaten Premier League record but were made to work hard for their point by buoyant Bournemouth in a full-blooded 0-0 draw on Saturday.
Bournemouth, fresh from three successive league wins at Dean Court, took a leaf out of Spurs' famed pressing book to give as good as they got from the title contenders and were well worth the draw.
Bournemouth's intensity and resistance ensured Spurs missed a chance to provisionally go top of the table ahead of Manchester City and Arsenal but it could have been worse for the visitors if Hugo Lloris had not made a fine early save to thwart Charlie Daniels.
After Lloris had tipped his point-blank range shot against the bar, Spurs' best opportunity in a game high on energy and industry but low on chances came when Erik Lamela fired against the bar in the opening half.
Spurs manager Maurico Pochettino admitted it had been a tough afternoon for his team.
"They were very aggressive. It was a very competitive game, they were ready to compete...If we want to be contenders, we need to win games like these," the Argentine said.
Bournemouth had shipped eight goals in two fixtures against Spurs last year but inspired by tireless midfielder Harry Arter and shored up by committed defending, they did a fine job in shutting down the visitors amid the frantic fare.
Also playing a big part was Jack Wilshere, on loan at Bournemouth from Arsenal, who played his first full 90 minutes in a league match for two years with England's interim manager Gareth Southgate watching from the stands.
Eddie Howe, Bournemouth's highly-rated young manager, was delighted how his team had gone "toe-to-toe" with Spurs to win a really valuable point. Continued...

Hi Ann, tomorrow is Japanese theme for dinner…..so I will be doing this recipe. I have one question : after I poured in the egg mixture, do I bring it to a boil and then let it boil for 3mins then reduce heat to medium and steam for 7mins? Is my interpretation correct? Thanks for your help!
Magic of Spice ~ Thank you!
Amazing…I love custard, but this one is so unique and lovely 🙂
温馨小屋 ~ 我平时做Chawanmushi都不加料。
Cheah ~ Thanks!
Patty ~ Thank you for your compliment. Sometime I like to make it plain with no meat.
Weng ~ sure ;DD
Peppy ~ Yes, use bonito shaving and konbo.
Have you tried making your own dashi stock?
Wow. So sily smooth anncoo. Can I have some please? Just a bite will do 🙁 Haha
Hello! This looks delicious! The Koreans have something similar to this, but I've never seen it with additions, like the chicken you mention. My guess is that this dish would taste a thousand times better pumped up with some delicious meat! Thank you for making my mouth water! Yummy!
The custard looks so smooth and those clicks are lovely!
Thank you Kothiyavunu for your compliment.
Ananda ~ Thanks for visiting.
Rebecca ~ Thank you! Please try my Eggs En Cocotte with ham added.
Thanks Wenn, Christine & Natasha 😉
Candy ~ 谢谢哦!你也一定会做,对吗?
Angel ~ Sure ;D
Faithy ~ I'm sure many bloggers know how to make this using the same ingredients.
Murasaki ~ Yes, it is best to use the basic stock with bonit flakes and konbu but I am a lazy person ;DD
hehee…sounds interesting using chicken broth and dry sherry.
Xiaolu ~ You're welcome 🙂
I love Chinese egg custard so my boyfriend who lived in Japan for a year was actually recommending that I try this dish. Thanks for posting this!
I'm glad you made this. I'm no expert at making this even though my mom used to make these for her dinner guests as a starter all the time. To beef up your chawan mushi, improving the quality of 'dashi' is essential and this is so hard to do when you don't live in Japan and can buy all the better grades of Konbu and Niboshi or Katsuobushi for making this. I tried making it with local ingredients once, i.e. chicken broth from a whole chicken + Spanish Dry Sherry. It was kind of eclectic.
Guess what? I make my chawanmushi this way too!! Using the same granules! 😀
Thanks for sharing the picture of the ingredients.
The egg custurd is so smooth, can I have one?
These look perfectly smooth and delicious! I wish I could have a taste!
Really love this Japanese dish. You have some nifty and beautiful cup-like bowls to cook this dish. Classy 🙂
will sure try it one day..thanks.
wow this looks really cool always learn new things from you Ann.and i am adding bacon to my soup next time
Oh yes, so smooth and silky. Perfecto, Ann!
Deliciously cream and velvety; love that color too.
Awee first time, beauty, loving your custard 🙂
sounds interesting..I have never tasted egg custard; now I am curious! Beautiful presentation!
Oh, my favourite Chawanmushi 🙂 I tried making it few times but just didn't manage to get it right. Yours really look tempting, and I love the bowls you are using, so cute!
Your cupbowls are so cute!!! Thanks for sharing and make it so simple and easy…
Great dish! My family loves it. Very healthy food 🙂
Looks very smooth and silky, yummy. 😉 Usually have to wait up extra time whenever we ordered chawanmushi….now can make at home. Have to go get Hondashi first. 😉
love this! your chawanmushi looks so silky smooth, like those serve in Japanese restaurants 🙂
The custard look so smooth and velvety!! And this sounds really yummy too!
Occasionally had it at the Japanese restaurant, now with your guidance I could do it at home. Thanks, Ann 🙂
Sawadee from bangkok,
I do not have the Hondashi, but what an easy dish this is. Love the little bowls!
I havent make this for a long time but am happy with your chinese version leh. hahaha
Oh, now I know how's the packing for Mirin & Hondashi are supposed to look like! haha… Your Japanese style custard look really tempting. I wish I can find the ingredients to try it out. Thanks so much for sharing & have a great day. And hope you're feeling well too. Take care.
Love the silken texture and thanks for sharing the great savoury egg dish!
Very smooth and creamy! Love your cup!
I love chawanmushi very much, may I know where can I buy the hondashi?
this is my must order dish if eating at jap restuarant. your chawamushi looks smooth and silky, must be very yummy.
I like this, but as i hardly cook, so i didn't have dashi, mirin at home, eat outside most of the time…
really light and creamy. I love chawanmushi.
I want to learn this too.
The problem is I can't find mirin and kikkoman soy sauce that come in small bottles. I afraid I'm going to waste it afterwards.
What an interesting custard. I like the idea of serving as an appetizer with savory. The cup is lovely are they special for this? The first photo is stunning!
Oh, I'm the first to arrive today?? Hahaha!
I love Chawanmushi & I've been wanting to post a Chawanmushi recipe for a while but just haven't gotten to it. Let's share our versions the next time I post 🙂
Love it!
Fascinating – I love the idea of the custard with mirin and soy. All new tome but works in my head!

Notre Dame's Saturday kickoff at N.C. State is set for 12:06 p.m.
Although the Irish might face the Wolfpack on Sunday morning or Saturday night. Maybe they'll play some place other than Raleigh. Maybe the game will get moved to South Bend. With Hurricane Matthew bearing down on the southeastern United States, don't rule anything out.
"Really everything is on the table right now," said head coach Brian Kelly. "We've given them a window that we're available to play this game from (the current kickoff) until noon on Sunday. We feel like anything after noon on Sunday starts to encroach on our ability to prepare for Stanford."
Notre Dame had conversations with N.C. State on Monday night on an operations level and had another conference call this afternoon, which included the ACC. It's not clear what the drop dead time might be for moving or postponing the game, although N.C. State released a statement that it will continue to "monitor the potential conditions" and that "every effort" will be made to play the game as scheduled.
However, also on Tuesday afternoon, the National Weather Service reported that Friday night and Saturday morning weather conditions pose "severe impact that could lead to significant threat to life or property."
The intensity of rain in central North Carolina is expected to intensify Friday afternoon and increase that evening into Saturday. The rain is expected to cease by Sunday, although flooding and power outages could be left in the hurricane's wake.
Could the game move further inland to Charlotte? The Panthers play at home this weekend, but not until Monday night. Perhaps complicating that option is the fact North Carolina, Wake Forest and Duke all play home games this weekend as well. Would those games also need to move to Charlotte?
Could Notre Dame and N.C. State engineer a game swap, moving this weekend's game to South Bend and sending the Irish to Raleigh next season? That's hard to imagine considering logistics and stadium construction, although it wouldn't unbalance Notre Dame's schedule in 2017. With the Shamrock Series on break, the Irish currently have seven home games and five road games scheduled for next year.
The most likely outcome would still seem to be the game going on as scheduled in adverse conditions. The current Weather.com forecast projects a 100-percent chance of rain with 24 mile-per-hour winds in Raleigh on Saturday.
To Kelly, air moisture matters less than air movement.
"The field conditions we have been told should be, unless it's unplayable, we should be able to be fine relative to the field conditions," Kelly said. "But we are very good at moving the ball and throwing the football in most conditions, unless the wind becomes at a point where the ball just can't be moved through the air. Then we get into formations that we already have in our system and we'll employ those."
As you've probably read by now, Notre Dame's loss at Clemson last October came in monsoon conditions when Hurricane Joaquin hit. Despite that deluge, DeShone Kizer passed for 321 yards and totaled three touchdowns in his first road start.
As for this year, Notre Dame will accommodate the next couple days as weather patterns develop and alternative plans can be set, even if they're not ultimately enacted.
"There is quite a bit of flexibility," Kelly said. "We feel like we've secured accommodations and flights and such to leave a big window of availability to play this game."

Workers at Australia's Roy Hill iron ore mine face pay cuts
By James Regan
SYDNEY, June 25 (Reuters) - Workers at the $10 billion Roy Hill iron ore mining project owned by Australian billionaire Gina Rinehart face a drop in salaries as a way of preserving jobs as the sector reels from low commodity prices.
Iron ore prices have slumped as much as 70 percent since construction of the mine began four years ago in partnership with South Korean steelmaker POSCO, Japan's Marubeni Corp and Taiwan's China Steel Corp.
"We felt it was more important for our people to retain their jobs rather than pursue workforce reductions as a cost-saving strategy in response to market conditions," Barry Fitzgerald, chief executive of Roy Hill Holdings Pty Ltd, said in an email to Reuters.
Analysts blame the downturn on a massive rise in production due to overestimates of China's appetite for imported ore by sector titans Vale of Brazil and Australians Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton .
Amid the supply glut, Roy Hill is set to release a further 55 million tonnes of ore into the market, starting in September.
The salary cuts will range from 5 to 10 percent, according to the statement.
Executives and senior management will take the biggest cuts, but there would be no salary reductions for employees on lower pay scales, who account for about half the workforce.
Fitzgerald said the pay cuts would enable the company to retain "family-friendly" work rosters preferred by staff flying in and out of the mine site, where work was 85 percent complete. Continuación...

Tying a String Around my Ear Keloid - Houston, TX
It took over 4 months after I tied a string around my keloid for it to finally come off . It was a painful and sometimes emotionally draining process that took waaay longer than expected. But the string method did work! It finally came off yesterday and I am so happy! If you're trying this method don't give up, be patient. It may work fast for some, but not all. It did not work fast for me,... READ MORE

Hello everyone, I have successfully removed my keloid using the string/thread method. This was a very painful process that took close to 5 months before my keloid came off. I would suggest that you have plenty of patience and a person... READ COMMENT

UPDATE 2-Toronto stocks fall on uncertainty over US bailout
*TSX index opens lower after a 7 percent rally on Friday
*Uncertainty over U.S. bailout package prevails
*Materials stocks rise on higher gold, base metals prices
*Tanganyika Oil jumps after it says in talks with buyer
(Adds details)
TORONTO, Sept 22 (Reuters) - The Toronto Stock Exchange's main index stumbled on Monday morning on weakness in energy and financial shares as investors worried about the effects of the proposed $700 billion U.S. financial bailout plan.
The retreat came after news that the two remaining major U.S. investment banks, Goldman Sachs (GS.N: Quote) and Morgan Stanley (MS.N: Quote), have sought refuge in the arms of the U.S. Federal Reserve and transformed themselves into bank holding companies to survive the financial storm. [ID:nSP4331] [ID:nN13574113]
On Friday, the Toronto market soared on news if the bailout plan -- making its biggest percentage gain since 1987, rising 7.03 percent to 12,912,99 -- but it had some second thoughts on Monday.
"I would say there's still a lot of uncertainty out there as to the rescue package," said Ian Nakamoto, director of research at MacDougall, MacDougall & MacTier. Continued...

At a time when celebrity style analysis is front-page news, it's easy to forget that the real secret to the capital's collective style cred lies with its models. So much more than just a series of pretty faces — and even prettier bank accounts — these taste-makers serve as a key source of inspiration for high-street shops, which look to Kate, Edie et al for their innate ability to predict next season's big thing.
Here, with a guide to our favourite model ensembles of the year, we bring you the best-dressed brigade. Who do you want to be today?
Edie Campbell
Campbell's style cred took a turn for the magnificent the second she allowed her hairdresser to snip off her sweet, honey-blonde mop. Now an ethereal beauty in possession of an edgy pixie crop, the pretty face is carving a place for herself as the modelling world's answer to Tilda Swinton. Sharp- shouldered tailoring is her trump card.
Why her off-duty look works: grown up, serious but with a playful twist, this look exudes effortless elegance — it also suggests Campbell's taste is mature beyond her years. The wet- look side-parting is beyond fabulous, while the Lanvin jacket, far left, is a beacon for all that's brilliant about the French powerhouse's approach to contemporary femininity. J'adore.
Who's copying her: the art crowd — see Frieze's opening party tomorrow night — are early adopters of Edie's high-brow approach to effortless ease.
Georgia May Jagger
From the thick blonde locks to the killer curves and toothy smile, Georgia May Jagger is every inch the mini-Jerry Hall. But that's not the only thing she's inherited from her mum. She's also got the sexpot-glamour-with-a-touch-of-rock-n-roll thing down to a tee.
Why her off-duty look works: having been initiated into the limelight at an early age, the 22-year-old knows what works for her — see this shimmering slip dress, left. Add a cage heel and a set of no-flashbulbs-please sunglasses and you've got a star in the making.
Who's copying her: West End teens and those after a hit of Hollywood glamour.
Sam Rollinson
Like any Northern lass, "Donny"-born Sam Rollinson enjoys "having a good old laugh and a cup of tea". And she has a serious soft spot for knitwear (often of a novelty nature). Her effortless charm has earned her the affections of many of her model peers — including Charlotte Wiggins and Lara Mullen — not to mention a host of labels from high end to high street. We love her because she's like a young Tracey Thorn, with an of-the-moment modernity.
Why her off-duty look works: Rollinson looks best when she's doing dressed down, far right. The bob, the bomber and the cheese-cutting cheekbones all work in her favour for a look that's striking yet reassuringly simple. And then there's the blue Gucci loafers. *thumbs up*
Who's copying her: East Enders with a girl crush. Among the most hard-core of which are already rocking "The Sam" bob.
Kate Moss
Applauding Kate Moss for her ability to get dressed is a bit like congratulating a swan for swimming. She is, after all, an unrivalled master in the art. Recognisable by her signature grey skinnies/oversized fur coat/honey hair/half-smoked Marlboro Light, Croydon's best-looking export is the girl next door we've all had a go at trying to become.
Why her off-duty look works: the skinny jeans — rolled slightly up the leg to flatter the shoe shape — work brilliantly alongside the Amy Winehouse T-shirt, worn to remind us that Moss is a woman with music in her heart. This look, far left, is completely uncontrived, it's off-duty Kate sticking two fingers up to the monotony of mainstream fashion trends. Ultimately, it's Moss at her very best.
Who's copying her: er, try the entire country — and I'm not just talking womenfolk. The style doyenne's influence on the high-street means we're all dressing like Kate, even when we're not trying to.Reuse content

text: Initially I was having lockups trying to set up my dual screens, it froze a few times but it saved my settings anyway. I was trying to turn off the notebook screen and use my lcd tv. Windows live messenger causes it to lock up every time a minute onto desktop As posted already, full screen on youtube locks it but right clicking and unchecking hardware acceleration works. Rating my system causes me to freeze also Other than that it's working a treat! 1.8ghz processor 1gb ram I do miss: Not being able to move the "my documents" Closing Not responding windows and not ending up with an incapacitated windows lol Explorer doesn't refresh/reload itself I have to use trillian in place of messenger Windows media player - did we go back in time??? It looks like version 5 LOL I prefer the version 11 look I loaded xp drivers for a couple of things that didn't install - ac97 modem & multi card reader and they installed, the modem didn't go so well and 7 asked about installing in compatibility mode and then installed fine. When the "computer" has a problem you can right click, troubleshoot and it will pretty much fix it or tell you how... did windows ever do this successfully prior to now??? LOL I understand it's beta but I say +1 to windows 7 Anyone else got the same messenger problems?

Invicta 0420 Men's Pro Diver Automatic Titanium Watch
Invicta 0891 Men's Reserve Chronograph Black Rubber Strap Watch
Invicta 1003 Men's Pro Diver Chronograph Watch
Discount Watch Store is proud to be an authorized dealer of Invicta watches. The Invicta Watch Group, today, remains the fastest growing watch group in the world. The watch group now currently owns watch brands like Glycine, S. Coifman, and Technomarine. The company has shown consistent growth through a persistent dedication to providing quality watches at discount prices.
Invicta was started by Raphael Picard in 1837 in La-Chaux-de-Fonds – a town in Switzerland that is thought to be the epicenter of horological achievements. Invicta watches were sought after throughout the 1800's and 1900's, up until the quartz revolution led by Japanese watchmakers in the early 1970's.
Invicta is Latin for 'invincible', and in 2001 they rebounded with Eyal Lalo – a third generation watchmaker at the helm. Invicta has since stayed in a position of power, with a combination of bold designs on sale, and amazingly cheap price points. Invicta has hundreds of designs in constant production, which is a cornerstone of the brand's continued success.
Technical Prowess
Invicta has always done things differently – a tradition that stems from this watch brand's inception. Invicta assembles their watches in both Japan, and Switzerland, and they have even created their own lume, and crystals called Tritnite, and Flame Fusion respectively. Flame Fusion uses mineral crystal, which is coated with a layer of sapphire crystal for the best in scratch resistance. Invicta makes watches for both men and women, with their most popular collections being the Pro Diver, the Lupah, Angel, Speedway, and Reserve collections.
Invicta can be found on sale at Discount Watch Store at cheap, sale prices, and comes backed with a 5 year international warranty.

Flash back to 2005 if you will. Ireland is in the grip of the Celtic Tiger boom. Cork is undergoing a transformation. The city's streets were dug up and remolded with apparently improved drainage (didn't help recently unfortunately) and the revamping of the city centre was in full swing. Here's the construction on Daunt Square, with behind it the long gone Virgin Megastore. Aperture ƒ/4 Camera Canon EOS 20D Focal length 18mm ISO 400 Shutter speed 1/2500sContinue Reading
I'm Still Standing
It's wonderful how some of the old buildings in Cork are preserved while all around them their neighbours are demolished and shiny new edifices rise. This one is of course on Emmett Place.Continue Reading
Emmett Place Deconstructed
Emmett Place in Cork is the sight of feverish building work for the past year or two as a huge city block was torn down and then built up again. Here's the view from the excellent Aroma Restaurant. Aperture ƒ/7.1 Camera Canon EOS 40D Focal length 18mm ISO 100 Shutter speed 1/125sContinue Reading
Reflection on Half Moon Street
Construction work on the new block on Half Moon Street, Cork nears completion and reflects the brightly lit houses on the far side of the River Lee and the looming grey storm clouds. This shot's for Richard who commented on a shot taken the other direction last week. PS. entries are still being accepted for the free night in the hotel draw. Closes on Friday, so be sure to leave a comment if you're interested in coming!Continue Reading

End of the Celtic Tiger
Construction. Ireland is too dependent on it but that's old news now, but unspeakable just a year (or two) ago. Anyway, it's the end of the boom, construction work has flatlined. The End is Nigh (and booted out the backdoor while we weren't looking). Shot in Youghal a few months back.

Dunnes Stores for Better Value
Dunnes Stores for Better Value The old Dunnes Stores on Patrick's Street is now only a shadow of it's former self. All that remains of the building is the front facade and a small portion of the side walls. Construction work on the Paul Street development has levelled most of the back buildings in a square block, exposing the internals of other buildings to the elements. I spotted photos hanging on the rear wall of a room left open to the elements after demolition. Surreal! If any business person from Acadamy Street is reading this, can I go to the top of your building and shoot the construction site from… Read MoreContinue Reading
Berwick Fountain
Berwick Fountain The Berwick Fountain was originally built in 1860 but was taken down and removed while construction went on in the Grand Parade, Cork. Here it is almost ready, although I'd swear they moved it a few feet .. Cross over the Grand Parade for the last time passing the Berwick Fountain (1860), which marked the centre point of a bridge crossing what was then a city canal, now arched over and filled in to form the Grand Parade. The fountain is named after Walter Berwick, one time Chairman of the Quarter Sessions and was designed by Sir John Benson.Continue Reading

A 2 disc set of self-penned songs from ex-Slade bassist Jim Lea. The first disc is a reissue of Jim's critically acclaimed studio album most impressively, the vast majority of instruments featured are played by Jim.
Includes three previously unreleased bonus tracks: 21st Century Thing? Thank God It's Friday Right Now and Am I The Greatest Now?…
A fine collection including many tracks from Slade's hitmaking heyday, Feel the Noize: Slade Greatest Hits stretches from the group's hit singles of the early '70s beginning with 1971's "Get Down and Get with It" all the way to 1991's "Radio Wall of Sound." In between those two songs is a selection of the group's big, dumb, irresistible, and misspelled hits – "Coz I Luv You," "Take Me Bak 'Ome," "Mama Weer All Crazee Now," "Gudbuy T'Jane," "Cum on Feel the Noize," "Skweeze Me, Pleeze Me." It also features latter-day hits like "My Oh My," but Slade never got better than they did at their stomping glitter-rock peak, and Feel the Noize captures the essence of that era.
2007 digitally remastered two CD collection from the '70s and '80s British glamsters. Rockers is an the perfect companion to any Slade 'hits' collection, as it documents of one of the UK's greatest bands doing what they do best - Rockin' and Rollin'! Here are 37 blistering tracks spanning the period 1969-87. Stylish double digipak with 20 page booklet containing previously unseen photographs by Barry Plummer plus informative track by track notes by Mojo's Chris Ingham.
2006 digitally remastered two CD set, subtitled the Live Anthology, features not only the original Slade Alive! Album but also Slade Alive! Volume Two, Slade on Stage and Alive at Reading for a total of 33 rockin' and stompin' Slade performances! The first live album 'Slade Alive!' was recorded at the Command Theatre Studio in London, for just £600, and released without overdubs of any sort in March 1972. 'Vol. Two' was culled from American concert performances in the autumn of 1976 as well as British dates the following spring. The story of Slade's renaissance at the 1980 Reading Festival has long since passed into the realms of rock music folklore. It was a performance that resurrected their flagging career and several tracks were originally issued on a pair of EPs. Slavo.
2009 two CD collection of archive recordings from the British Glam/Rock band. This double disc set is a a release that Slade fans have long dreamt of - a fantastic document of the period during which they transformed themselves from a potent live attraction with a burgeoning song craft of their own into the UK's favourite hit-making machine. A total of 36 rare tracks, all previously unreleased remastered under the supervision of Slade's Jim Lea for the finest possible sound quality Stylish double digipak with 24-page booklet containing previously unseen photographs plus a comprehensive overview and track-by-track notes by Mojo's Mark Paytress featuring extensive comments from the band. Disc Two features a live concert from the Paris Theatre, London, August 17, 1972 recorded for the BBC In Concert series.
Believe it or not, Slade on Stage is the most intense recording Slade has ever made. That's heavy. This live album, recorded circa Till Deaf Do Us Part, shows the band playing faster, harder, and better than ever. Slade on Stage contains five of the band's new songs and four of their classic hits, along with an audience singalong to end the show…
