One day, she receives a dire prediction from a psychic saying that death is in her fortune within the year unless she manages to right the bad luck she's accumulated (in a prior life as a thieving raccoon who would steal a tiger's hard-caught food, making it starve). The way to do it is to have a one-night stand with a (preferably virgin) man born in the year of the tiger (or 1986) before the month is over.

Infante, Tigers prolific
2B drives in six, has five of Detroit's 26 hits in blowout
Published 12:38 am, Saturday, September 7, 2013
Kansas City, Mo.
Omar Infante set career highs with five hits and six RBIs, Andy Dirks also went 5-for-5 and Detroit pounded Kansas City 16-2.
Austin Jackson drove in four runs as the Tigers finished with a season-high 26 hits. Dirks, who is hitting .410 against Kansas City this season, scored four times.
Infante had run-producing singles in the second, fourth and seventh innings and a three-run double in the fifth. It was more than enough support for Anibal Sanchez (13-7), who allowed one run in seven innings while lowering his AL-best ERA to 2.61.
James Shields (10-9), who was 4-0 in his previous five starts, was charged with 10 runs and 14 hits in 32/3 innings in his shortest start of the season. The runs and hits matched career-worst totals for the right-hander.
Reds 3, Dodgers 2: Joey Votto emerged from his deep slump with a single and a two-run homer, leading Cincinnati. The NL West leaders lost left-hander Chris Capuano to a mild groin strain in the second inning, when he grimaced on a pitch to Zack Cozart. Already this week, the Dodgers had to push Hyun-Jin Ryu back from a scheduled start because of a sore back. Mike Leake (12-6) emerged from his recent slump, helping the Reds get their fourth win in their past five games. Leake allowed five hits, including Hanley Ramirez's two-run homer, in 72/3 innings.
Cardinals 12, Pirates 8: Carlos Beltran had RBIs in his first two at-bats to help chase A.J. Burnett early and Joe Kelly beat Pittsburgh for the third straight time, pulling St. Louis within a half-game of the NL Central leaders. Burnett (7-10) gave up five runs in three innings, his shortest outing of the year.
Phillies 2, Braves 1: Cody Asche hit a two-run homer in the seventh and Cliff Lee outdueled fellow lefty Mike Minor. After surrendering a homer to Andrelton Simmons leading off the third, Lee (12-6) didn't allow a hit through eight innings. He finished with 10 strikeouts without a walk, giving up just two hits. Minor (13-6) allowed four hits and two earned runs in seven innings, striking out nine and walking one.
Marlins 7, Nationals 0: Jose Fernandez allowed one hit and struck out nine in seven innings. Giancarlo Stanton homered and drove in three runs and Logan Morrison hit an estimated 484-foot home run, which would be the longest in the majors this season, and drove in two runs. Fernandez also went 2-for-3 at the plate and Chris Coghlan had three hits.
Cubs 8, Brewers 5: Rookie Junior Lake had two hits, including his first career grand slam in Chicago's five-run first.
Orioles 4, White Sox 0: Chris Davis hit his major league-leading 48th homer and Scott Feldman pitched a five-hitter for his first career shutout, extending Chicago's losing streak to eight games.
Blue Jays 6, Twins 5: R.A. Dickey (12-12) pitched into the seventh inning for Toronto, and the Blue Jays hung on for a victory over Minnesota.

Difference between revisions of "Prizren"
Revision as of 23:39, 14 February 2013
Prizren, in Kosovo, is a city of mosques and monasteries dating to the 14th century.
Get in
The best way to get to Prizren is by bus from Pristina (€4). You can also take buses from Peja (€3) where the famous Serbian monasteries are located. You can also catch a bus from Skopje. Most bus companies that run from Istanbul to Pristina continue onward and terminate in Prizren. There are several direct buses from Belgrade ( 7 hours, 1 day bus & 2 night busses, run by Kosovo Albanian companies, cost about €10, stops depending on the route in Nis or Krusevac, Pristina and other towns on the road, information dates from February 2005).
From Albania, there are two good ways
The main event in the town is yearly international documentary DOKUFEST and short film festival held in August.
Get around
From the bus station everything is within walking distance
There is much more going on in Prizren during the Summer than any other time of the year. The main square in town, a stone piazza known as Shadervan, is the gathering point on most evenings. The piazza is surrounded by cafes, bars, restaurants and ice cream parlors. During the day this is an excellent place to sit and have a coffee, or have lunch and watch the town go about its business. The fountain in the center of the piazza is safe to drink from and is a central gathering point during hot summer afternoons. From about 9:30pm to midnight on almost every night in the summer the streets around Shadervan are crowded with locals walking the corso, meeting, chatting and drinking. In August the town hosts the Dokufest International Documentary and Short Film Festival www.dokufest.com. During the Festival the town is full of people and various parties go late at night in the bars.
The area around Prizren, particularly to the east and southwest is also scenic. Heading east from town toward the old Yugoslav ski resort of Brezovica takes you through the Zupa valley. There are numerous restaurants following the river along this route. The ski slopes at Brezovica are open and for skiing during the winter. The runs were once considered some of the best in Yugoslavia, and the site was a back-up for the Sarajevo Winter Olympics in 1984.
To the southwest, toward the Albanian border the landscape is also dramatic. About an hour's drive from Prizren is the mountain town of Dragash. Although there is no skiing in the mountains surrounding Dragash, the area is beautiful. Friday is market day in Dragash.
The Hammam of Prizren is an early Ottoman-era monument in which oriental and local traditions combine. It was built in the heart of the city in 1563/4 by Gazi Mehmet Pasha, at the time when he was also building the nearby mosque. The hammam has two large and nine small domes and is separated into men's and women's sections. As one of the most precious hammams in South-East Europe, it embodies special architectural, historical, cultural and social values. Integrated for centuries in the lives of the citizens, it has become a symbol for the spiritual and cultural heritage of Prizren and its region. The building functioned as a hammam until 1944. It then served for cheese production, as a warehouse, and later the entrance area was used for cultural events. In state protection since 1954, the hammam was repaired and maintained until 1981 when it was left at the mercy of time. After the NATO intervention in Kosovo in 1999, some limited measures were undertaken for the monument's protection.
Bajrakli Mosque- the 14th century Mosque of Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror, can be reached on the first left street infront of The Hamam.. Bajrakli mosque dates from 1566 and is possibly the most beautiful mosque in Prizren with ornate wood work and detailed blue-and-white paintings.
The Sofi Sinan Pasha Mosque-The Mosque of Sinan Pasha is one of the most important monuments from the occupation of Ottoman Empire in this territory. According to the inscription inside themosque Sofi Sinan Pasha, built it for his co-citizens, on hijrij year 1024 (1615). The mosque was built with walls over 2 m thick, it contains more than 50 windows, and the minaret is one of the highest in the city. The mosque is very rich in ornaments of many colors and shapes. The interior of the mosque is decorated by arabesques and other decorations of flora and fauna in the baroque style. There are two layers of paintings in it, the paintings of the time when the mosque was built (17th century) and a second layer of paintings (19th century). In the entrance the mosque has a fountain, built by the founder. The mosque also used to have a madras and a library with numerous books of different contents.
The Prizren League House- old complex where Albanian political organization founded on June 10, 1878 in Prizren. Albanian Prizren League officially started with gathering of 300 representatives of all Albanian regions. In the meeting there were also Bosnians from Bosnia and Sanxhak. The aim of the meeting was to form an autonomous Albanian state that would cover the otoman regions (vilajets) of Prizren, Shkodra, Manastir and Janina. The league was the first serious effort to create united Albanian region since the failure of Skenderbeg forces in medieval.
The Catholic Church- stands at the top of the stone street that leads from the "Shadërvan Square".
There are few traditional crafts that are still practiced in Prizren and the surrounding area. In Prishtina, there are some women's cooperatives selling carpets and embroideries, and there may be one or two in Prizren as well. Ask around and someone will be able to direct you. The most traditional craft for Prizren itself has always been filigree. Very ornate pieces are made for traditional local wedding feasts, but more simple pieces are available in any of the shops that line the road leading into town. Poke around and ask to see the older pieces.
Market day is Wednesday. The town fills up with merchants from all of the surrounding villages. In addition to crafts such as wordworks, there are also cheap mass produced tchotckas and knick-knacks.
The center of the town is full of barbeque restaurants (qebaptore). Prizren is well known in Kosovo for its barbeques as they make everything right infront of your eyes. In the dowtown or in Shadervan you can get plenty of these restaurants.
One of the best lamb and traditional pastry (flia) Restaurant Sharr above 10 mile from Prizren tore Brezoviza in National Park Sharr.
Similarly in the downtown you can get sweets such as baklava, tullumba which are traditionally made in Prizren. One of the best places for traditional sweets is Shendeti (near Shadervan), which also sells Boza (fermented cornflour drink)
Restaurant Ambienti is in the center and offers a nice view to the town. Walk east from Shadervan, and the restaurant is up a slope overlooking the river. International fare at modest prices.
Restaurant ODA offers menu food and is right next to the Stone Bridge.
New opened restaurant Pauza, with long experience in this business, offers you a really delicious food, starting from traditional food, wine, raki, picas like you never ate somewhere else, spaghetti, salads, soups and really nice tasting cafe with new interior design. In Edit Durham, contact nr.044/49 243415 or 044/49 218188, the opposite way of Kep Institution.
There are plenty of coffee shops, bars, and pubs located in the downtown Shadervan. Also, various bakeries exist in the area with the most outstanding pastries and fresh daily specials. There is a nice coffebar "La Linea" just behind the Sinan Pasha's Mosque.
There are a number of places to stay in Prizren. The most prominent was the Hotel Therande in the center of town, which as of July 2007 appears to be closed for renovations. The Prizreni is on the road toward Albania, and getting there is another option due the new highway of Albania. It had been used as a collective center for internally displaced after the 1999 conflict and does not seem to have recovered.
There is also a small hotel / pensione around the corner from the Catholic Church in the center, called Pension Oltas. Someone should be able to direct you from the church. Single rooms are €25 per night, double rooms €35. All rooms have their private bath. The price includes breakfast and laundry. The rooms are very clean and quite nice. They all have cable television, air condition, refrigerator and wireless. Also,computers with internet access are available in rooms and reception. Keep in mind that check-in is closed between midnight and 8am.
Hotel Pik-Nik is very reasonable, and the owners and staff are more than willing to cater to your every whim. Hotel Pik-Nik also has a beautiful restaurant and upstairs rotunda and seating for privacy. The restaurant menu is filled with traditional Balkan cuisine, and serves the best calzone in Prizren.
Hotel Tirana is in the downtown and it costs around €35 per night.
Only during the Film Festival Dokufest might be hard to find places in hotels.
Get out
There are mini-buses to Pristina (€4 paid on the bus) leaving from the main road out of town. To get to the main bus station take the road along the river and turn right at the traffic circle. The bus station is on the left. There are a couple of travel agents in the area. Buses are available to almost anywhere in Kosovo, usually via Pristina or Gjakova, Macedonia and Albania. Closer to summer you can also get buses to Ulcinj (Albanian name: Ulqin) in Montenegro.
The bus to Tirana stops at the kiosk outside the bus station at about 5:30 and 16:30. It is a through bus from Pristina, buy your ticket on the bus (not in the bus station).
Albania is generally considered safer than it once was, although it is not recommended to take a Taxi to Albania unless you are traveling with a known and trusted local.
Buses to Skopje at 5:30 and 9:00. Cost €5.50. Buses to Istanbul costs €50.
Get a bus to Zhupa National Park Sharr nice restaurants pretty nature. A suggested Restaurant sharr in village Mushnikova about 10 miles from Prizren one of best food in Kosovo.

Rabbi Solomon Wohlgelernter, who for over four years was the spiritual leader of the Schari Tzedeck Congregation of Vancouver, British Columbia, gave his first service at the Bikur Cholum Congregation, Seattle's oldest and largest synagogue, this week. Rabbi Wohlgelernter has undertaken to serve this congregation for the next five years.

First, defensive back Josh Gatlin from North Dakota State picked off a pass in the end zone to blunt a Team Nation scoring threat.
Next, Team Texas quarterback Josh Portis (California, Pa.) fired a 46-yard pass to Stephen Burton (West Texas A&M).
After a few more Portis completions, Team Texas called on Thomas Weber of Arizona State to boot a 25-yard field goal for a 13-7 advantage.
Early attendance estimate at the Alamodome is 10,000.

In the early 90s I was a rookie television anchor in Monterey County, CA. I lived a few miles from the Panetta family walnut farm in Carmel Valley. When he returned from Washington, usually on Friday, I would interview Panetta to get a "sound-bite" for the local news. We rarely talked politics, however. We seemed to talk about everything else including our shared background as sons of Italian immigrants, catholic school education, or any other number of things we had in common.
Panetta asked me questions and took an interest in me. In other words, he made me feel important. I also remember Panetta as always greeting me with a smile and having a sense of humor, something not lost on President Barack Obama, who said of Panetta, " You've led with heart and humor. Indeed, they say that you've never seen our wounded warriors smile as wide or heard them laugh as loud as when they get a visit from their secretary of defense."
Charisma is defined as "magnetism," a quality that gives people influence over large numbers of people. The definition doesn't adequately explain exactly what charisma is or how to develop it. I think studying leaders considered 'charismatic' yields some clues.
What I learned from Panetta: Greet people with a smile, laugh easily, and take a genuine interest in their lives.
"Rock Star" Herb Kelleher. A friend of mine is a pilot for Southwest Airlines. His hero and favorite boss of all time is Southwest cofounder, Herb Kelleher. The pilot calls Kelleher a "rock star." When I first asked my friend what he admires most about Kelleher he said, "When Herb meets you he looks you in the eye, shakes your hand and wants to know something about you. Once he meets you he never forgets you. He knew my name, the names of people in my family, and would always ask about them when he saw me." Today Southwest has more than 6,000 pilots so it would be impossible for one person to know everyone 's names, but Kelleher's ability to remember something about hundreds, if not thousands, of his employees is considered legendary within the Southwest family.
What a Southwest pilot learned from Kelleher: Ask for people's names, something about their family, and remember what they told you.
Brandt Snedeker: Class act on and off the golf course. PGA golfer Brandt Snedeker shot a final round 65 to win the 2013 Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Snedeker is building a reputation in the golf community for his talent on the course and his demeanor on and off it. PGA tour rookie James Hahn played in Snedeker's final group at the AT&T. Just being around him [Snedeker] and seeing how he conducts himself, he's an inspiration," said Hahn. "He's obviously one of the best, if not the best golfer right now. But how he conducts himself as a person on and off the golf course, that's also world class." Snedeker's amateur playing partner, Toby Wilt, observed, "He was more interested all day in my [putting] lines than in his." Not only did Snedeker help read Wilt's putts, he genuinely cared if his partner made it.
What a PGA rookie learned from Snedeker: Encourage others to be their best.
History books are full of charismatic leaders, but don't neglect the lessons you can learn from achievers you meet or see every day. Those conversations on a farm, in an airline terminal, or on a golf course could yield some very important clues to help you become a better, more inspiring, leader.

House of Fraser looks to French chain Galeries Lafayette
HOUSE of Fraser is in talks to be acquired by the French department store chain, Galeries Lafayette, it's been reported.
The retailer, which has 61 stores in the UK and Ireland – including a flagship store in Belfast's Victoria Square Shopping Centre – is said to be looking for a price tag of at least £450m, the Financial Times said.
At the same time, it is believed to be continuing with preparations for a flotation on the London Stock Exchange early next year.
Family-controlled Galeries Lafayette, which has 65 stores, has exclusivity on the talks until the end of January.
House of Fraser, which generates sales of £1.2bn a year and employs 7,300 people, as well as 12,000 concession staff, has been the subject of takeover speculation in the past year.
It is believed to have held informal takeover talks with Sports Direct tycoon Mike Ashley and the Qatari royal family before setting its sights on a return to public ownership.
The chain, which is 161 years old, first listed on the stock market in 1948.
A spokeswoman for the department store said she had no comment to make on the story.

Savannah library employee Alton Wilson put a grown man into a straight jacket this week.
Then Wilson watched the man escape from the jacket in less than two minutes while children cheered and music blared.
No, the straightjacket isn't some new library punishment for talking too loudly.
It was one of several highlights in a magic, music and menagerie performance at Bull Street Library by magician and educator Chad Crews.
Crews explained to the children that he learned magic - including Houdini-inspired escapes like the straightjacket trick - from one simple, easy-accessible source: a book.
"Reading takes you everywhere,'' Crews told the audience. "It allows you to meet new people and learn new things.''
Crews' Safari Show - which included a corn snake, tarantula and ball pythons - is one of several special performances offered as part of the increasingly popular Live Oak Public Libraries Vacation Reading Program.
This summer's reading program already broke participation records, said Susan Lee, public relations coordinator for Live Oak Public Libraries. In just the first three weeks of summer, 7,395 children and teens signed up to participate, compared with last summer's total tally of 6,555.
Michael Howard, 11, signed up for the program for two reasons: he likes to read adventure stories and his mom works at the library. He's read two books as part of the program and is in the middle of one that's his favorite so far - "The Phantom Tollbooth" by Norton Juster.
"It's a good program,'' Michael said Saturday at Bull Street Library while waiting for one of this summer's special library shows, Harry Potter Jeopardy, to start. Michael said reading might even help prepare him for when he starts DeRenne Middle School at the end of summer.
Networking is everything
Reasons for the early success of the Vacation Reading Program include establishing partnerships with local businesses to provide fantastic prizes and reading incentives, Lee said.
Plus, staff members on the reading program committee worked throughout the past year to bring in some of the best performers from around the region, Lee said.
"Our offerings this year, from Harry Potter Jeopardy to Music Makers, appeal to people of all ages and interests," Lee said.
Among them is Savannah-based storyteller Sean Driscoll, whose act combines animation and video technology. Driscoll will perform at local branches Tuesday through Aug. 1.
After more than three decades in the business of entertaining kids, Driscoll said he's seen the results firsthand of children spending too much time in front of video games, computer and TV screens.
"Their attention spans have become a lot shorter,'' Driscoll said. "Their need for stimulation is much greater.''
Driscoll said the secret to keeping kids' focused on his act is to offer lots of variety and constant flux. But he worries children are losing the ability to imagine.
The actor and musician usually takes his show on the road. But he said he's doing more performances near his hometown of Savannah to be close to his 2-year-old son and biggest fan, Dylan.
Dylan helps Dad keep his storytelling and improv skills sharp by requesting special bedtime tales.
"He sets up a very specific criteria each night and it's always different,'' Driscoll said, "He'll say 'I want the three-piggies but put in a tractor and a dog and a bull dozer."
Built-in fan base
Magician Crews also plans to practice his act on his newborn daughter when she's older. Crews, who lives in North Augusta, S.C., with his wife and baby, travels throughout the Southeast doing his pro-reading performances.
He did his first magic trick ever during a visit to Savannah years ago as a college student and youth pastor. Crews needed to find some way to communicate to the inner-city youth his ministry was trying to reach.
Crews recently had purchased Mark Wilson's "Cyclopedia of Magic" and used it to teach himself some card tricks.
The tricks worked and kids opened up to him.
Today Crews shows the audience that same well-worn book in his magic act.
As Crews says: "Books really can have an influence on your life.''

Lorikeets turn into Piranha-keets for Halloween
The lorikeets of Lorikeet Forest decided that their Halloween pumpkin wasn't scary enough so they proceeded to carve some improvements into it using their beaks.
The lorikeets turned into "piranha-keets" as they swarmed over the Halloween pumpkin brought to them as an enrichment toy during the Scarium of the Pacific festivities. They expertly used their beaks to carve the mouth, nose and eyes of the pumpkin into something a lot scarier that what their caretakers originally produced.
Check out the time-lapse video of their work.

Construction of a new YMCA on the northwest side of Bloomington is on schedule to be finished this fall, but it is still underfunded.
The organization is about $2 million short of its $10.2 million goal.
YMCA officials say that should not delay completion though because the YMCA has a loan that covers the cost of construction.
Original plans for the facility included an Indiana University Healthcare Center, a track, childcare center, swimming pool and rehabilitation center.
The YMCA's marketing director says none of the planned features will be eliminated from the project. The center is set to open November 1.
YMCA memberships will be valid at both locations.

Inside Soccer: UEFA's knockout round should live up to name
Published 10:00 pm, Monday, December 13, 2004
Despite some nervous moments for big names like Arsenal and Liverpool, in the end the final day of the Champions League group stage produced few surprises. Almost every big name advanced to Friday's draw for the knockout stage, which begins next February.
Clear flops were Paris Saint-Germain, Glasgow Celtic and AS Roma, all of whom finished last in their groups and therefore miss dropping into the knockout phase of the UEFA Cup.
All four teams from England, Chelsea and Manchester United completing the English Premier League's representation, went through, alongside German entrants Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen and Werder Bremen. Italy also qualified three teams (AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus), while Spain has two (Barcelona and Real Madrid), losing Valencia and Deportivo Coruna, which could not even score a goal. France has last year's runner-up, Monaco, and Lyon still alive, while defending champion FC Porto of Portugal and PSV Eindhoven of Holland are also there.
That makes up arguably the strongest 16-club field ever assembled, and rules against teams from the same country playing in the first knockout round means that this week's draw is guaranteed to produce some high-profile matches.
WORLD CLUB CUP: The final game of the World Club Cup as currently structured was played Sunday evening in Japan with unfashionable Colombian side Once Caldas facing off against FC Porto. From the get-go, it should have been a rout. Porto's Benni McCarthy was denied by the woodwork at least four times during a poorly played game, with Caldas content to play for penalty kicks. They got yeoman work out of Juan Carlos Henao in the nets, however, with the erratic goalkeeper making enough big saves at the right times to keep the Colombians in the game.
In the end, Porto won 8-7 on kicks, with Pedro Emanuel stroking home the winner. It was Porto's second World Club Cup title.
The game also ends the unofficial club championship, with FIFA's World Club Cup taking over next year. That is also set for Japan, but will include six finalists with the European and South American champions getting byes to the semifinals. The representative from the Confederation of North, Central and Caribbean Association Football will come from this region's annual club championship, with D.C. United and the Kansas City Wizards representing MLS in the 2005 tournament.
LEAGUE REPORTS: While FC Porto was surviving that penalty shootout in Tokyo, their archrivals from Lisbon, Benfica, crashed 4-1 at Lisbon's "third" team, Belenenses, Sunday night, and failed to capitalize on a chance to move atop the Portuguese League. Saturday, Sporting Lisbon had also failed to win, held 0-0 at Sporting Braga. That meant that at the end of the day, the two Porto clubs (Boavista and FC Porto) stayed 1-2, while the Lisbon favorites (Benfica, Sporting) were right behind. Boavista has 27 points, the other three 25 and separated by goal difference. Thanks to its trip to Asia, FC Porto does have a match in hand.
In Spain it isn't news that Barcelona is in first place, but that the city's "other" team, Espanyol, is second. After beating second-to-last-place Mallorca on Sunday, Espanyol climbed above both Valencia and Real Madrid. Real Madrid didn't even get to finish its game this weekend as its match against Real Sociedad was halted at 1-1 with mere minutes left after a bomb threat was called into the Santiago Bernabeu stadium. The Euskadi Ta Askatasuna, a militant group of Basque separatists, claimed responsibility for the threat; fortunately no bomb was found and none of the 70,000 in attendance was hurt. The final three minutes plus four minutes of stoppage time will be played Jan. 5.
Cursed team of the weekend? How about Velez Sarsfield? The Argentine side thoroughly dominated the last 45 minutes against league rivals Arsenal of Sarandi: they watched shots cannon off defenders and goal posts and sometimes saw the ball seem to be pushed wide by the hands of fate. Knowing that they could force a championship playoff with a win, Velez instead finished 1-1 and had to settle for the runner-up spot.
The Torneo Apertura champion is Newell's Old Boys, who survived a last-day defeat against Independiente.
And in Brazil, Santos won 3-0 at Sao Caetano while Atletico Paranaense lost 1-0 at Vasco da Gama. That combination of results means Pele's old club will take a one-point lead into the final matches next weekend. Atletico had led the race much of the second half of the season.
The biggest game of the weekend may well have been the London clash between Premiership stalking horses Arsenal and leader Chelsea. As it turned out, it was the best match played in England this year, with both teams displaying power, speed and sublime touch for a global television audience.
Thierry Henry twice put the champions ahead only to see John Terry and Eidur Gudjohnsen grab goals back to level the game for Chelsea. Both sides had their share of woes: Arsenal conceded both goals to balls flung laterally into the box on set plays and displayed shaky marking all evening. Chelsea, on the other hand, struggled to contain the explosive Henry. Chelsea also found itself outfoxed on Henry's second goal, when his quick free kick caught the defense and keeper Petr Cech napping.
Everton is now second after beating Liverpool 1-0, winning that Merseyside derby for the first time in five years. Arsenal and Manchester United are third and fourth, respectively.
Two teams made history this weekend across the globe. First, in Mexico, UNAM Pumas became the first team to win both championships in a year since Mexico introduced the system in 1996. It was UNAM's fifth title and second under controversial coach Hugo Sanchez, who has been an outspoken critic of the Mexican soccer establishment.
Enyimba of Nigeria became the first back-to-back winner of the African Champions League since 1968. Players had been promised $150,000 apiece, plus plots of land, if they held their title; they outlasted Etoile Sahel of Tunisia 5-3 on penalties. In Korea, the Suwon Bluewings took the K-League title after a lackluster final series with Pohang Steelers. Neither team was able to score in the two-leg final; Suwon outlasted Pohang on kicks. In Japan, the final J-League Championship was taken by Yokohama F-Marinos. Yokohama, winners of the first stage, beat Urawa Reds, second stage champs on kicks after a 1-1 aggregate draw.
UNITED STATES: The big news of the week was the announcement that Lamar Hunt has put the Kansas City Wizards up for sale. The Wizards had endured a season of speculation as persistent reports had the team folding or being moved to Texas. In recent weeks, several MLS insiders at the team level had said discussions about Kansas City's fate were ongoing in the league offices. But according to local newspaper reports, Hunt's move apparently caught even his team and staff by surprise. Kansas City now will get one more season to find a buyer. If none can be found, the 2005 expansion might become the 2006 contraction.

The Weekly Standard Blog has a nifty little email… The MSM, DNC, and both Pelosi and Obama have accused the people showing up at town hall meetings of being "fake." This isn't a grass roots movement, it's astroturf – paid for by righwing interests, insurance companies, ad nauseam. Take a trip over to The Weekly Standard and check out the email they've posted.

Organizers of a Beatles tribute concert are hoping for a sellout crowd for the fourth straight Valentine's Day weekend.
A performance by the band "Shout" and dinner are scheduled for Saturday, February 11, at the Knights of Columbus Hall at 24900 Brest Road in Taylor.
Doors open at 6 p.m. Dinner is served at 7 p.m. The concert and dancing get under way at 8 o'clock.
Downriver's original Beatles tribute dinner-dance raises funds for the Fish & Loaves Community Food Pantry, which feeds Downriver hungry people throughout the year. All proceeds support the food pantry's mission of "ensuring no one goes hungry" in Taylor and the surrounding communities of Allen Park, Brownstown Township, Dearborn Heights, Romulus, Southgate and Woodhaven.
The dinner-dance menu includes pork chops, stuffed cabbage, chicken, smashed potatoes, vegetables, salad, dessert and coffee. The night will include a cash bar. Donations of non-perishable food will be accepted and appreciated.
Admission is $25 per person. Tables for eight are $200. Tickets can be purchased only in advance by calling Fish & Loaves board member Bryan Cragg at (313) 295-4950 or (313) 460-1053 or Fish & Loaves at (734) 442-0031. No tickets will be sold at the door.
Fish & Loaves was founded in 2008 as a nonprofit organization and has assisted thousands of households and individuals, including children. Distributing about 1.6 million pounds of free food annually at 25670 Northline Road in Taylor, Fish & Loaves is a client-choice food pantry, allowing families and individuals to shop six times per year in a setting organized like a grocery store. This allows for a sense of dignity, higher client satisfaction and less waste.
The Beatles tribute is the fourth annual concert organized by Cragg, who is passionate about raising funds to buy food for needy people.
"This is a great evening with great people for a great cause," he said. "It's one of our main fundraisers for Fish & Loaves. While you're enjoying a night of Beatles music and a fine dinner, you're also helping your neighbor who isn't as fortunate."
"Shout" received rave reviews at last year's Beatles tribute in Taylor and was invited back by popular demand, Cragg said. In fact, some of the current members of Shout were members of the band Backbeats, which performed in 2014.
"They do a great job," Cragg said. "Who doesn't like Beatles music? We've been blessed with three sellouts in a row, with ticket sales surpassing 300 each year. We'd like to make this our fourth sellout."
Shout's extraordinary performances include songs from the Fab Four's first U.S. releases such as "I Want to Hold Your Hand," "She Loves You," "Twist and Shout" and "I Saw Her Standing There," as well as an ensemble of eclectic tunes such as "Penny Lane," "Paperback Writer," "I Am the Walrus" and "Hey Jude."
Instruments and a certain look add flavor to Shout's performance. Band members were careful to acquire the correct guitars, amps and drums and use those acquisitions proudly.
Shout also strives for authenticity when it comes to the right clothing, from Cuban-heeled boots to moptop hair. Members even sport tailor-made suits like the Fab Four, including the famous Sgt. Pepper outfits.
Like the first three Beatles tribute concerts benefiting Fish & Loaves, this year's performance will be have a Valentine's Day theme.
The dinner-dance is sponsored by UAW Region 1A.. Other sponsorship opportunities are available. A television will be among the items up for raffle.

* Overweight, underweight
* Fatigue, lack of energy
* Insomnia, restless sleep, difficulty relaxing/stress
* Headaches
* Cravings or addictions
* Digestive problems (gas, ulcers, heartburn, IBS) which by the way it is extremely that Diagnosing Symptoms of IBS is done on time.
* Allergies, hay fever, asthma
* Irregularity (constipation, diarrhea)
* Painful inflammation (joints, muscles, etc)
* Yeast infection
* Strong desire for sugar, beer, breads
* Diabetes or Hypoglycemia
* High Blood Pressure
* Skin disorders
* Male or Female Problems ( PMS, prostate, hot flashes, impotence, infertility, lack of desire)
* Eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia, excessive appetite)
* Life threatening or degenerative disease
* Weakness, shakiness, poor muscle tone, muscle soreness or spasm
* High alcohol consumption, smoking, high caffeine consumption
We live with these symptoms above, like it is "normal" to have them. You don't have to live that way, you can get your hands on the patriot power greens and get rid of the problem, specially when it comes to stomach inflammation. A high percentage of our society is on prescribed medication for something. They all produce side affects in the body and all that does is cover the symptoms. I like to get to what is the cause of the symptom.
It has been called the Master Cleanse by many over the years. It is part of all of our wellness programs because it is effective and is not hard to do. It consists of a liquid diet of a mixture of fresh lemon juice, distilled water, and pure maple syrup. It is recommended that at least 2 quarts per day be consumed. It is not a 3 day fast, but substitutes a normal diet with food that will help cleanse the systems of the body.
It utilizes lemon juice that is rich in water soluble vitamins that the body cannot store. It requires pure maple syrup, a balanced form of natural sugar that will not cause insulin response. Pure maple syrup is also rich in minerals that the body needs. Three supplements are recommended while on this to support the body, the removal of wastes and its cleansing action.
By detoxing the organs, it helps the body:
Know how much protein can your body process
Remove congestion, mucous, chemicals
Purify the blood
Cleanse the lymphatic system
Fight bacteria, virus, yeast, mold and worms
Restore energy
Destroy parasites in the digestive system
By cleansing, it helps:
Increase circulation in the bowels
Lubricate the intestinal tract
Relieve gas and pains
Expel intestinal parasites
Reduce inflammation and irritation
The lemon juice, maple syrup, and distilled water mixture is a meal in itself. The mixture is keeping your blood sugar level in balance, as well as providing minerals and vitamins. Because it is already in liquid form, the body immediately assimilates and uses it without the tremendous output of energy required to break down solid, clogging foods. Your energy can now be used to cleanse more deeply. If you need something to relieve painm¿, then check out this nerve block in neck treatment, these doctors can help you treat anything.
We highly recommend using 3 supplements to enhance and support the body while on this cleanse. To do it without those supplements, makes it harder for you than it needs to be.
Because of the environment we live in, anyone could benefit from this. We receive toxins from just about everything in our lives. It is very important that you understand the symptoms and changes that may occur when you are beginning any wellness and nutritional program. This is referred to as healing crisis. You may ask, "Why am I feeling worse by detoxifying my body?' The body must go through cleansing and detoxification. The energy normally used for hard to digest food is now removing poisons from the body.
Removing these toxins can prevent you from developing degenerative diseases. During this detoxification, colds, fever or flu symptoms may occur. This is your body's natural way of cleansing. This is a positive step even though may be unpleasant at the moment.
It does take preparation to do this and it is best to do over a weekend. The first 2 days, you are to remove meat, dairy and refined sugar, refined carbohydrates from your diet. Then the next 3 days you are using the lemon mixture along with the supplements for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Also drinking distilled water during the day with this process. (We should all be drinking half of our body weight in ounces of water daily – but during this process, distilled is what should be used – it helps to pull out toxins.)
This process is even more important for people who want to quit alcohol or drug addiction. If you realize that you can't quit your drug addiction with this then go to https://www.drugtreatmentfinders.com/addiction-intervention/.
If I can help you further with this, please let me know.

General Information
Have you ever had a user login to your box and then ask you for help? Or have you ever been curious as to what your users are doing on your system? The watch(8) utility will let you snoop another tty, allowing you to see what your other users are doing and even interact with them. It's a must-have utility for every network administrator.
- Local root access on the box or be able to su to root.
- A SSH client that supports ANSI colors such as puTTy or SecureCRT (if you aren't on the box).
- Your favorite text editor (I prefer nano)
For the 5.x branch, there is no installation needed. Everything required for watch is already installed.
For the 4.x branch, we have to compile a kernel with snp support. So, add the following to your kernel configuration:
# nano -w /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/MYKERNEL ***output omitted*** pseudo-device snp 4 ***output omitted***
This compiles the snp snooping utility and you can change the 4 to however many terminals you plan on watching at any given time. Now, compile and install your kernel.
You need to know which tty you wish to watch, so if you don't know it you can find out.
# who jon ttyp0 Oct 19 12:10 (192.168.0.20) steve ttyp1 Oct 19 12:15 (192.168.0.23)
Let's say we want to see what steve is up to. The syntax is:
# watch [options] tty
We can simply issue the following to see what he is doing:
# watch ttyp1
Now, if steve is requesting help, you can interactively watch his terminal with:
# watch -W ttyp1
Whatever he types, you see and whatever you type, he sees. It's a beautiful thing. Now the next thing to know is what you can do once you are in watch.
Exit watch. Clear screen. Change attached tty, unless this feature is disabled, in which case control-X is passed to the terminal as with other control characters.
That's all there is to watching your other user's activity.

No, at least it's not possible with majordomo unless you can add/rewrite hundreds of lines of code. This fits in the same category as having individual To: headers or customized footers with the recipients address included. Yes, just don't restrict who can post to the list. If you need this restriction, create another file with all your addresses in it, and add that to the restrict_post setting in your listname.conf file. Dan Liston Ron Sloan wrote:

Though it's not as large or visible as in New York or San Francisco, there has long been a thriving gay community in Philadelphia. As far back as the 1930s and '40s, underground gay house parties and social networks existed not only in Center City but in West Philadelphia, Germantown, and other areas. There was also a group of mob-owned gay bars centered around 13th and Locust Streets—the area that remains the nexus of gay culture in Philly today. This east-of-Broad, south-of-Market neighborhood, also called Washington Square West, is most commonly called the "Gayborhood."
A pivotal change occurred in Philadelphia in 1965 when a group of protesters began an annual July 4 march in front of Independence Hall.A pivotal change occurred in Philadelphia in 1965 when a group of protesters began an annual July 4 march in front of Independence Hall. Four years before the Stonewall Riots in New York ignited the worldwide modern gay rights movement, this period began the era of openness in the city. Gays and lesbians began to come out in increasing numbers and to claim their rightful place in the community.
Today, Philly's gay community is a highly visible and important part of the city, with several dozen clubs, bars, lounges, bookstores, boutiques, restaurants, and shops catering to it. Local politicians court the LGBT crowd for support and dollars, and the media gives wide coverage to various pride festivals and events, including Equality Forum in late April and early May, the Pride Parade in June, and OutFest in October.
Outside of Center City, the gay community is a little more circumspect, and unfortunately flashiness and PDA can draw unfriendly attention in some places. The Tourism Board website has a section geared towards gay visitors to the city, including gay-friendly hotel accommodations and special event packages. There are several hotels and bed-and-breakfasts in the Gayborhood, with plenty of others nearby. The William Way LGBT Community Center (1315 Spruce St., 215/732-2220) is the city's largest gay and lesbian center, filled with resources and information, and the online calendar has the most comprehensive guide to gay-friendly events, venues, organizations, and clubs. The Philadelphia Gay News is a publication that offers a calendar of events and articles and is available in print or online.

Cars that guzzle petrol and diesel are passé and no one wants to be seen driving a car that is an environmental disaster. Mercedes Benz is one of the best brands out there who have created cars that are green and environmentally viable even if they guzzle petrol.
They have just unveiled the Blue Zero concept which is affordable, eco conscious, and would run on an E Cell with battery. It also comes with collision support, and the sweeping curve is the car's defining look. Most concepts make a lot of claims about being terribly functional or extremely outlandish. But the Mercedes Benz Blue Zero makes no such claims ad is based on reality and affordability and the great thing is it works!
There is no information about the car's availability or manufacturing. Of course, we do not the price at this stage either! I love the car's interiors and they are fit for royalty than plain rich people. And I am sure each one of us are royalty in our own rights!

This may be the easiest recipe I've ever published on my blog. I mean, a total of 6 ingredients with minimal fuss in the prep? It truly doesn't get much easier.
It all started with my typical weekly browse of the "What's New" shelf at my local Trader Joe's. My eyes lit upon a bottle of Organic Sriracha and Roasted Garlic Barbecue Sauce and I knew that baby was going home with me for dinner. The entire ride home my mind was swimming with ideas of how to use it.
In the end, though, the simplest idea is generally best. And so these Sriracha BBQ Chicken Sandwiches were born.
In the morning before I leave for work I simply toss some lean chicken breast, this sriracha barbecue sauce, and some slices of red onion into the slow cooker. Heck, I've even taken the chicken straight out of the freezer and thrown it into the slow cooker. That's right, no dethawing.
At the end of the day, when I come home from work the house smells like someone's been barbecuing all day in my kitchen. I then whip up a simple slaw of a store-bought coleslaw mix, lowfat blue cheese dressing, and a bit of crumbled blue cheese. Now all that's left to do is shred up the chicken breast and slap my sandwich together.
Seriously, does it get any easier than that?

- 8 oz. (about 3 cups) store-bought coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
- ½ cup Bolthouse Farms Blue Cheese dressing (yogurt based)
- 1 oz. crumbled blue cheese
- Place the chicken, onion, and BBQ sauce in a slow cooker, cover and cook for 10 hours on low.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, blue cheese dressing, and blue cheese crumbles. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Remove the chicken pieces from the slow cooker and use 2 forks to shred the chicken.
- Stir the shredded chicken back into the barbecue sauce in the slow cooker.
- Serve the chicken on a bun, topped with the coleslaw, and bite into a little piece of heaven!

Most major U.S. cities ban or restrict handgun open carry, despite contrary state trend
Published 8:27 am, Tuesday, April 7, 2015
With a new law being considered in the Texas Legislature, the Lone Star State could be on its way to joining the majority of states which allow the open carry of handguns in public.
If legislation passes like it is expected to, both Houston and Dallas would become the largest metro areas in the country allowing open carry according to the Texas Tribune this week. As of right now Texas is also just one of six states that prohibit open carry thought that will likely change soon.
However, open carry being legal - even with some exceptions - in the majority of states, open carry is still outlawed or severely restricted by most local goverments in the nation's major cities.
The cities of Philadelphia, Atlanta, Boston, Memphis, Detroit, Seattle, Minneapolis, and Indianapolis all allow open carry but each comes with a number of caveats, including specific local government approval and licensing steps. Some of the steps it takes to be able to open carry are seen as onerous for Texas gun advocates.
Major cities like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, Tampa, San Francisco, San Diego, and San Jose do not allow open carry of firearms whatsoever.
Phoenix, Arizona -- of course -- allows full open carry with little to no restriction.
For a complete list of the handgun open carry bans or restrictions in the nation's largest cities, see the photos above.

>The balance on these really needs another look-see. There also need to be more chain-themed spells out there.
>That's all of the solid details that have been put down so far. Still fleshing out the fluff at the beginning. Need aphroisms. Probably going to throw in some example sects, specific church locations, example PCs, NPC contacts, stuff like that. The chain-link mythos needs some work too. DEFINITELY need to do some magic items.
>Is there anything that stands out as needing work? Any weak spots that could stand to be fleshed out further?
Tas295: I was thinking for magic items maybe Whips of Hold Person as a standard gear. I was thinking for a greater magic item maybe a "Chain of Command" a chain that could link the mistress/master to the slave allowing the slave to take damage that would be directed to the mistress/master and could allow the two to mentally talk to each other. > I like the idea of Animate rope as a first level spell beacuse I think it fits better for the over all tone of Ardarvia.
This discussion-type shit goes here. Let's clean this page up good.
Just checked out all the refinements. This stuff has come a long way. Bravo, Team /tg/.
