Fabulous fillies showcased at Flamboro on Friday DUNDAS, ON — Flamboro Downs hosts an action-packed afternoon of Ontario Sires Stakes racing on Friday, with three Trillium Series divisions for the talented three-year-old trotting fillies and the $130,000 Gold Final for the top sophomore pacing lasses. The Trillium events lead off the program and Roger Mayotte is hoping the second race is the confidence building start that Northern Fuchsia needs to move her game to the next level. "She's a real sweetheart. Everything she does is professional. She's got the manners, she's got the gait, everything's just got to blossom together for her," says the Etobicoke resident. "She shows me enough potential that I think she is going to improve off each start." Northern Fuchsia has just four starts under her belt and has been battling the top Ontario-sired fillies in Gold Series action. She finished fourth in the May 17 Gold Elimination at Mohawk Racetrack, second in the consolation one week later and then enjoyed a six week break before the second Gold event where she finished fourth in the July 2 elimination and seventh in last weekend's Final. During the break between Sires Stakes events Mayotte says the filly went through a growth spurt that briefly threw her off her game. "I think she's taken a bit of a growing spurt in the last month or six weeks. I trained her a couple of times and she was making some breaks and just wasn't right and I think it was because she was growing. Her hind end shot up on her," notes Mayotte, who trains the Angus Hall daughter for Donald Lawson of Guelph, Paul Lawson of Georgetown and James Lawson of Oakville. "She's definitely a bigger filly than when I started with her." Leaving from Post 5 in the second race, Mayotte and Northern Fuchsia will face a field of six that includes Gold Series regular Incredible Iam from Post 3, four fillies from the Grassroots program and one American-bred eligible to the Trillium through her Ontario ownership. The trotting fillies are also featured in Races 4, 6, and 8, warming up the Flamboro crowd for the $130,000 Gold Final in Race 10. The top eight pacing fillies from last week's elimination round are returning to the Dundas half-mile and the Bob McIntosh duo Special Magic and Los Angeles struck pay dirt early, drawing Posts 1 and 2 for the lucrative Final. The fillies head into the Final off impressive efforts in the elimination that saw them finish first and second. Special Magic earned the victory with a 1:54 mile that saw her sit off a lightning fast early pace and then swoop down on the leaders around the final turn. In similar fashion, Los Angeles was 13 lengths off the pace at the halfway marker and had to sprint home to earn the runner-up's share. "I never expected that hot a pace," says McIntosh, who credits topnotch driving from Steve Condren and Mark MacDonald for securing the Camluck daughters their berth in Friday's Final. "Some of those guys get in a hurry when they're going for big money, but they pay you at the end, not at the half." While Special Magic already boasts an impressive three-year-old record of three wins, two seconds and one third from six starts on behalf of owner-breeders Brittany Farms of Versailles, KY, Los Angeles has been a little shower out of the gate with one second and one third from four starts. "She had a tough year last year, a couple of brutal trips," explains McIntosh, who shares ownership on Los Angeles with Al McIntosh Holdings Inc., of Leamington and CSX Stables of Liberty Center, OH. "In the Shes A Great Lady she finished third, but it was a gut twisting race. It took it's toll on her and I was a little concerned about how she would come back." In her first two starts Los Angeles was tenth and fifth, but in the June 21 consolation at Woodbine Racetrack the filly showed a spark of her former ability and last Friday's elimination effort confirmed her trainer's belief that she was starting to round back into form. "I put a blind bridle on her and that seemed to pick her up," he notes. "It would be nice if she put another one together. She's very capable of being in the same league as the other filly if she's back to her game." McIntosh admits his fillies will benefit from the placement of elimination winner Invitro on the outside of the starting gate. "Invitro looks like the best filly out there this far," says the LaSalle resident. "She's handicapped with the eight-hole, but maybe we should start her out on Highway 5. She's got my respect that's for sure." Post time for Flamboro Downs's first race on Friday is 2:45 pm, with the Trillium Series taking centre stage in Races 2, 4, 6, and 8 and the $130,000 Gold Final slated as Race 10. |

Carbohydrates consist of the elements carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) with a ratio of hydrogen twice that of carbon and oxygen. Carbohydrates include sugars, starches, cellulose and many other compounds found in living organisms. In their basic form, carbohydrates are simple sugars or monosaccharides. These simple sugars can combine with each other to form more complex carbohydrates. The combination of two simple sugars is a disaccharide. Carbohydrates consisting of two to ten simple sugars are called oligosaccharides, and those with a larger number are called polysaccharides.
Sugars are white crystalline carbohydrates that are soluble in water and generally have a sweet taste.
Number of Carbons |
Category Name | Examples |
4 | Tetrose | Erythrose, Threose |
5 | Pentose | Arabinose, Ribose, Ribulose, Xylose, Xylulose, Lyxose |
6 | Hexose | Allose, Altrose, Fructose, Galactose, Glucose, Gulose, Idose, Mannose, Sorbose, Talose, Tagatose |
7 | Heptose | Sedoheptulose, Mannoheptulose |
Many saccharide structures differ only in the orientation of the hydroxyl groups (-OH). This slight structural difference makes a big difference in the biochemical properties, organoleptic properties (e.g., taste), and in the physical properties such as melting point and Specific Rotation (how polarized light is distorted). A chain-form monosaccharide that has a carbonyl group (C=O) on an end carbon forming an aldehyde group (-CHO) is classified as an aldose. When the carbonyl group is on an inner atom forming a ketone, it is classified as a ketose.
D-Erythrose | D-Threose |
D-Ribose |
D-Arabinose |
D-Xylose |
D-Lyxose |
The ring form of ribose is a component of ribonucleic acid (RNA). Deoxyribose, which is missing an oxygen at position 2, is a component of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). In nucleic acids, the hydroxyl group attached to carbon number 1 is replaced with nucleotide bases.
Ribose | Deoxyribose |
Hexoses, such as the ones illustrated here, have the molecular formula C6H12O6. German chemist Emil Fischer (1852-1919) identified the stereoisomers for these aldohexoses in 1894. He received the 1902 Nobel Prize for chemistry for his work.

D-Mannose |
D-Gulose |
D-Idose |
D-Galactose |
D-Talose |
Structures that have opposite configurations of a hydroxyl group at only one position, such as glucose and mannose, are called epimers. Glucose, also called dextrose, is the most widely distributed sugar in the plant and animal kingdoms and it is the sugar present in blood as "blood sugar". The chain form of glucose is a polyhydric aldehyde, meaning that it has multiple hydroxyl groups and an aldehyde group. Fructose, also called levulose or "fruit sugar", is shown here in the chain and ring forms. The relationship between the chain and the ring forms of the sugars is discussed below. Fructose and glucose are the main carbohydrate constituents of honey.
D-Tagatose (a ketose) |
D-Fructose |
Galactose |
Mannose |
D-Sedoheptulose | D-Mannoheptulose |
Many simple sugars can exist in a chain form or a ring form, as illustrated by the hexoses above. The ring form is favored in aqueous solutions, and the mechanism of ring formation is similar for most sugars. The glucose ring form is created when the oxygen on carbon number 5 links with the carbon comprising the carbonyl group (carbon number 1) and transfers its hydrogen to the carbonyl oxygen to create a hydroxyl group. The rearrangement produces alpha glucose when the hydroxyl group is on the opposite side of the -CH2OH group, or beta glucose when the hydroxyl group is on the same side as the -CH2OH group. Isomers, such as these, which differ only in their configuration about their carbonyl carbon atom are called anomers. The little D in the name derives from the fact that natural glucose is dextrorotary, i.e., it rotates polarized light to the right, but it now denotes a specific configuration. Monosaccharides forming a five-sided ring, like ribose, are called furanoses. Those forming six-sided rings, like glucose, are called pyranoses.

Saccharides with identical functional groups but with different spatial configurations have different chemical and biological properties. Stereochemisty is the study of the arrangement of atoms in three-dimensional space. Stereoisomers are compounds in which the atoms are linked in the same order but differ in their spatial arrangement. Compounds that are mirror images of each other but are not identical, comparable to left and right shoes, are called enantiomers. The following structures illustrate the difference between β-D-Glucose and β-L-Glucose. Identical molecules can be made to correspond to each other by flipping and rotating. However, enantiomers cannot be made to correspond to their mirror images by flipping and rotating. Glucose is sometimes illustrated as a "chair form" because it is a more accurate representation of the bond angles of the molecule. The "boat" form of glucose is unstable.

Sugars may be modified by natural or laboratory processes into compounds that retain the basic configuration of saccharides, but have different functional groups. Sugar alcohols, also known as polyols, polyhydric alcohols, or polyalcohols, are the hydrogenated forms of the aldoses or ketoses. For example, glucitol, also known as sorbitol, has the same linear structure as the chain form of glucose, but the aldehyde (-CHO) group is replaced with a -CH2OH group. Other common sugar alcohols include the monosaccharides erythritol and xylitol and the disaccharides lactitol and maltitol. Sugar alcohols have about half the calories of sugars and are frequently used in low-calorie or "sugar-free" products.
Erythritol is a four-carbon polyol that is 60–70% as sweet as table sugar, but because it is only partially absorbed by the body it has only 0.2 Calories per gram, which is 95% less than table sugar. Erythritol is used as a food additive throughout much of the world. It is used in food for diabetics because it does not affect blood sugar and does not cause tooth decay. Although erythritol is well tolerated by humans, experiments show that erythritol is toxic to the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster and may be useful as an insecticide.[5]
Xylitol, a five-carbon polyol which has the hydroxyl groups oriented like xylose, is a very common ingredient in "sugar-free" candies and gums because it is approximately as sweet as sucrose, but contains 40% less food energy. Although this sugar alcohol appears to be safe for humans, xylitol in relatively small doses can cause seizures, liver failure, and death in dogs.
Amino sugars or aminosaccharides replace a hydroxyl group with an
amino (-NH2)
group. Glucosamine is an amino sugar used to treat cartilage damage and reduce the pain and
progression of arthritis.
Uronic acids have a carboxyl group (-COOH) on the
carbon that is not part of the ring.
Their names retain the root of the monosaccharides, but the -ose sugar suffix is changed
to -uronic acid.
For example, galacturonic acid has the same configuration as galactose,
and the structure of glucuronic acid corresponds to glucose.

'Elena': A Femme Fatale, In The Rubble Of Perestroika
- Director: Andrey Zvyagintsev
- Genre: Drama
- Running Time: 109 minutes
Not rated
With: Nadezhda Markina, Andrey Smirnov, Yelena Lyadova, Aleksey Rozin
In Russian with subtitles
On its surface alone, Andrey Zvyagintsev's Elena is an intensely compelling slice of noir about moral rot and class warfare in post-Soviet Russia. Deeper down, the movie seethes quietly with the moody influence of other East European masters of the timeless ineffable. If Zvyagintsev were a less inscrutable filmmaker, he might have titled his new film Crime Without Punishment — but we'll get to that.
From the word go, there are subtle signs of discord in the marriage of Vladimir (Andrey Smirnov) and Elena (Nadezhda Markina), a wealthy couple whose domestic life runs on oiled wheels of routine.
He's a self-made businessman in his 60s whose daily trips to the gym keep him spry, disciplined and on the lookout for a well-turned ankle. She's maybe a little younger than he, tall and broad and dowdily dressed like a relic of pre-capitalist peasant stock.
Sure enough, after she's seen to her husband's needs, Elena rides the buses and trains to the dreary suburbs, bringing money and food to her unemployed son and his family. She might as well be traveling to another planet.
Vladimir and Elena met when she nursed him back to health in a hospital, and as his wife, she continues that role, not grudgingly but with a distance that might cover for resignation or resentment. Or perhaps she's patiently biding her time. Physically they make an ill-matched couple, but they seem affectionate enough, treating one another with the tactful respect of two colleagues bound by a mutually beneficial contract.
If you've seen Zvyagintsev's extraordinary 2003 film The Return, a similarly ominous beauty about two young brothers on a fishing trip with their long-absent father, you'll know not to expect exposition, or even much in the way of event.
The dialogue (by Zvyagintsev with Oleg Negin) is spare and functional; the fragmentary score is by Philip Glass, unless you count the portentous caw of crows outside a window to bookend the action. In the background we hear the faint, ceaseless babble of talk shows about dating and the proper way to make sausage.
Vladimir and Elena's apartment looks eerily like his gym or the hospital where he recuperates from a stroke. All three form a seamless line of discreet opulence and engineered good taste, unbroken by the warmth of spontaneity, idiosyncrasy or mess.
In fact, a full cauldron of crap bubbles beneath the arid calm. For all their apparent harmony, Vladimir and Elena languish in separate but equal thrall to their children, he to a hedonistic, embittered daughter he rarely sees, she to her indolent lout of a son, who would rather milk his reluctant father-in-law for cash than find a job.
When Vladimir announces that he's leaving most of his estate to his feckless daughter, Elena is appalled. As in The Return, there follows a shocking act, but it's handled matter-of-factly and without trumpeting transitions, making the crime a continuous part of the movie's broody minimalism rather than its denouement.
The rest is Dostoevsky, amply sprinkled with Tarkovsky, Kieslowski and probably a few other –ovskys I haven't thought of. Beneath the noirish topicality of Elena, which won a special jury prize at Cannes last year, lies a bone-deep existential unease and spiritual alienation, a preoccupation with sin that is at once quintessentially Russian and wholly archaic.
Halfway through the movie, the perpetrator of that terrible crime — a monster passing as a saint — enters a church in search of redemption and is brusquely chided for having no head covering. If Zvyagintsev casts a quietly disgusted gaze on what has become of his country after the promise of perestroika, his vision of eternal human frailty is inescapably tragic and religious — and brutally unforgiving. Giving us someone to root for is the last thing on this austere director's mind, and there's something thrilling about such a symphonic view of sin in our bloodlessly psychological age. But the American in me kept holding out for amazing grace.

Let's ask the question, What is the glory of the Lord? In answer, we look at Moses'
request on the mountain of God. Moses asked: Please, show me Your glory. —Exodus 33:18
The Hebrew word for "glory" used by Moses in this instance was kabowd. It is defined by Strong's Bible Dictionary as "the weight of something, but only figuratively in a good sense." Its definition also speaks of splendor, abundance, and honor. Moses was asking, "Show me Yourself in all Your splendor." Look
carefully at God's response: Then He said, "I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim
the name of the Lord before you." —Exodus 33:19
Moses requested all His glory, and God referred to it as "all My goodness . . . " The
Hebrew word for "goodness" is tuwb. It means, "good in the widest sense." In other words, nothing is withheld.
Then God says, "I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you." Before an earthly king enters the throne room, his name is always announced by proclamation. Then he enters in his splendor. The king's greatness is revealed, and in his court there is no mistake as to who is king. If this monarch were on the street of one of the cities of his nation dressed in ordinary clothes, without any attendants, he might be passed by without those around him realizing his actual identity. So in essence, this is exactly what God did for Moses. He is saying, "I will proclaim My own name and pass by you in all My splendor."
We see then that the glory of the Lord is everything that makes God, God. All His characteristics,
authority, power, wisdom—literally the immeasurable weight and magnitude of God—are contained within God's glory. Nothing is hidden or held back!

Grateful Dead Rock, Belle Isle, Da James, Richmond.
Grateful Dead Rock, on Belle Isle. This is the only graffiti on Belle Isle that doen't get painted over by the city.. it's become a landmark. That said, on our first raft trip of 2006 we saw that it had been painted over... it was GONE. That felt like a bad omen. Fortunately, it was quickly painted back early in the season and left alone.
This new one is a little different than the previous one... a little smaller, no red.

Toulson and Harvey
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2006
Luke Toulson and Stephen Harvey return to the Edinburgh festival after last year's debut show garnered them Perrier Best Newcomer and Dubble Act Award Nominations. This year, with an appetite for the surreal and absurd, they explore the treatment of foreigners by the British, and the foreign policy of the Americans.
The show opens with an Astronaut and a Cosmonaut returning
to earth after being lost in Space since the end of the Cold
War. The former is hailed an American hero, the latter discovers
his country no longer exists. Together they embark on an astonishing
journey, encountering Islamic Nativity plays, Christian Land
Theme Parks, and the band whose song, We're Winning The War On
Terror, is about to go platinum.
Original Review:
Last year, Toulson and Harvey were nominated for the Perrier best newcomer award for their sharp, pacy media satire to the chagrin of those who thought this genre had already been overspoofed.
Well, this time around they've chosen even more widely covered topics: the war on terror, how politics has become a branch of entertainment, how George Bush sometimes says dumb things and added nothing to the body of opinion on any of them.
It's a shame, as Luke Toulson and Stephen Harvey are hugely gifted performers, able to take on the mantle of any character without props, wigs or costumes. They subtly catch accents and physical mannerisms of everyone from a seven-year-old schoolboy to Daniel Kitson, who they envisage as some mystical shaman able to transcend space.
All these figures play their part in a rather convoluted non-linear story about two astronauts who return to Earth after 11 years adrift in the Mir space station to find the world is not as they left it. The Russian cosmonaut's life falls apart, he's forced to emigrate to the UK, take menial jobs and winds up in the gutter; while his American counterpart is hailed as a hero, elected President or Emperor as well as hosting his own late-night chat show. Read that again: Emperor and chat show host? You'd have thought that at some point one of them might have realised that, as a satirical idea, that's immature rubbish.
That's indicative of the main problem underpinning the entire hour: that the concepts are blunt and broad, and played out with very little insight or opinion.
What they are good at is creating theatrical texture, with
off-the-wall ideas and a distinctive structure making the intertwining
sketches stylistically interesting. It's just the writing and
the concept that let down this talented duo and they're
fairly major failings.

The Key to Pairing Wine and Cheese
Learn the tricks of the trade
Tags: Gregory Dal Piaz, food, wine pairing
Mentioned in this article
All good choices. Overall my first choice is sparkling wine for cheese pairing. From soft, fresh, creamy cheeses to hard salty offerings the bubbles help cut the fats and cleanse your palate for the next bite. If crafting a seriously stinky cheese plate an off dry slightly sparkling Moscato d' Asti can be fabulous.
May 18, 2012 at 11:32 AM
I am completely on the other spectrum, when pairing wines with cheese. A full bodied Cabernet, or Old Vine Zin is perfect with a small wedge of Parmasian cheese. The spicier the better for me.
May 18, 2012 at 1:59 PM
Riesling is most definitely my favorite wine with cheese and is usually my to go type of wine I bring when I go to a meet up wine tasting. I usually bring an Edam but I like a nice chevre at home.
May 18, 2012 at 11:12 PM
It's so fascinating pairing cheese & wine and discover new tastes.
What about a Moscato di Trani?
Have a look at http://www.moscatotrani.it.
Two similar yet very different experimental sparling moscato and a surprising dry excellent with both soft and aged cheese. It's best expression with Irish oysters.
May 19, 2012 at 6:41 AM
Love the picture of Chateau Ste Michelle Reisling. One of our favorites, and a great value! Pairs VERY well with Brie! Enjoy!
May 20, 2012 at 9:31 AM
White port surprsied me with its versatility at dealing with a cheeseboard.
The French cheeses have a website somehwere (via google) THAT LISTS IDEAL COMPANIONS TO EACH TYPE.May 21, 2012 at 7:02 AM
I find that pairing cheeses with wine work well when your adjectives for the wine are similiar to how you would describe the cheese! A couple of examples are a Sauvignon blanc that is citrusy, floral and tart pairs well with Chevre [ citrusy and savory] and a creamy, buttery chardonnay pairs well with a buttery double cream Brie!

International Society of Genetic Genealogy Wiki |
My mother and her brother both share 11.9% identical DNA with their first cousin. As the next generation from these three, my share of the identical DNA should be cut in half. My mother's cousin and I match 5%. This percentage is on the lower end of the predictable amount shared. We should be grateful for this because the lower percentage bumped us into a second cousin prediction and allowed him to be revealed in my account as a match, enabling me to reach out to him.
For illustration purposes, my father and his first cousin once removed match at 6.71%. I match this first cousin twice removed at 4.44%, which is just short of the 5% I share with my first cousin once removed. That is how random DNA inheritance works. You end up carrying more DNA from some ancestral lines than others.

Paul Gray began his connection with Ibanez when he played an ATK model and he enjoyed the unique sound and playability so much that it became his main instrument. Featuring a mahogany body coupled with the Standard M pickup, the PGB2T Tribute provides massive attack with an aggressive presence. Additional features are a rosewood fretboard with pearl dot inlay and medium frets and a B10 bridge. Paul Gray was more than a talented bassist with a unique style. He was an icon. He was a father and a husband. He was a friend. He was an inspiration for his peers and all who followed his work. Paul was also a member of the Ibanez family and, as such, we are honored to have had the opportunity to work with him to bring the world a signature bass that bears his name. We mourn Paul's tragic passing and offer our heartfelt sympathies to his family, his friends, and his fans. He will be missed by us all. The Paul Gray tribute bass seen here was created by Ibanez in conjunction with Paul's family and Slipknot management. Proceeds from sales of this bass will go towards a special trust fund for Paul's family.

Almost every woman knows about plastic surgery. It's the fastest way to get bigger breasts, but it's also the most expensive and carries the highest risk of problems and complications. Even years later, an implant can leak or rupture, and that can cause serious health problems for an unsuspecting woman who doesn't even think about her implants anymore. Still, a large number of women choose surgery for larger breasts.
If you don't want surgery, can't afford it, or just think it's too dangerous, there are other choices. Breasts enhancement product options run the gamut from the risky to the completely safe. One totally safe option is the padded bra. There's no risk there, because there's no invasiveness. All you do is buy a bra that has padding in it, and allow that bras to naturally push your breasts up and together. Push-up bras, bras with extra padding and bras that advertise as much as two cup sizes of increase when wearing them are all available.
The unfortunate thing about padded bras is that they can't be worn all the time. In intimate moments, during bathing or showering, or when you're in a bathing suit and getting ready to go for a swim, your breasts will not look the same size as they do when you're wearing your bra. The good news is that there are other breasts enhancement product choices available. Beauty Products and Creams and pills that enlarge breasts naturally can be found, and they're all natural supplements that don't require you to talk to your doctor. You can get them over the counter, and there's no surgical risk to concern yourself with.
That's great news for women who want a good breasts enhancement product that will work all the time, and that won't be dangerous or expensive. You can enjoy having your breasts enhanced naturally, and no one has to know. It's something you can do in the privacy of your own home, and there's no need to talk to anyone about it if you don't want to. It's really ideal, because you'll look the same whether you have a bra or not, and you won't be relying on padding that you can't transfer to bathing suits or some types of clothing. It's a winning situation for any woman.

Besides running stuff?
I opened up a bottle of really good olive oil last night to use with dinner - it was like some obnoxious price like $20 for 500 mL, but it made me soooo happy when I cracked it open. So, FOOD is certainly something I have no problem dropping big money on.
We also like electronic toys in this house, and the DH just bought me a Nikon SLR camera that I have no friggin idea how to use (yet)!

Us too! In the days before we had dogs, we did at least two trips a year. Now it's harder to find pet sitting for our merry band of semi-dysfunctional dogs and we do less traveling... but we do have plans to travel next year (Hawaii).
Dinner, I love going to nice places and trying different foods.

Food, beer and wine. I am kind of a snob...especially with beer, I will pay whatever necessary to drink beer that I really enjoy than whatever is cheap. Wine to a degree...I won't guzzle down $200 bottles, but I will not drink anything out of a box or the "house wine" at a restaurant. My boyfriend and I also have expensive taste in food, and love going to famous chef's restaurants.

Wisconsin -38 vs San Jose St
San Jose St lost by 45 at Alabama last week, a team playing without their two best players (RB Mark Ingram and DE Marcell Dareus) while breaking in 9 new starters on defense. They will have an even tougher time in Madison.
Florida St +7 at Oklahoma
Finally, our first underdog pick! We love the Seminoles to keep this one close based on Oklahoma struggling to beat Utah St at home last week. If they can only beat Utah St by 7 at home, we don't think they will beat the Seminoles by that many considering FSU QB Christian Ponder is among the best in the nation.
Notre Dame -3.5 vs Michigan
We feel this line is way too low considering all the injuries the Wolverines suffered last week. The secondary is the biggest concern which will allow Dayne Crist, Michael Floyd, and Kyle Rudolph to do whatever they want for the most part. Denard Robinson is the X factor of course, expect the Irish to spy middle linebacker Mantei Teo on Robinson, forcing him to win this game with his arm, not his legs.
Ohio St -9 vs Miami Florida
Anyone who watched Ohio St last week knows that one thing stuck out more than anything…team speed. The Buckeyes look like a track team on both sides of the ball and the offensive line is healthy this year providing the best pass protection that we saw from any team last week. Miami has a very gifted player in QB Jacory Harris but they simply don't have enough talent on either side of the ball to keep this one close. We also think Miami is a bit on the soft side and that is not a characteristic of a team that can win in Columbus. Look for the Buckeyes to make their case for number 1 on Saturday.
Alabama -12 vs Penn St
A freshman quarterback going to Tuscaloosa to play a night game against the best team in the country? No thanks. We think this one is going to get ugly as Penn St continues to be the most overrated team in the country every preseason.
Well folks, that's it for this week, just 5 games that caught our eye. Good Luck!

Dawn Henthorn is an editor and freelance wrier who grew up in, and loves, Florida. She is currently a contributing writer for Orlando Family Magazine. We are pleased to bring you some tips that she has to offer on how to beat the heat in Florida.
Temperatures in the 80s and 90s combined with high humidity is enough to wilt even the most enthusiastic sun worshipper. When temperatures rise, older adults in particular are at risk because aging reduces the body's ability to cool off. Here are some common sense and fun ways to beat the Florida heat.
- Water. Drink plenty of it… even if you are not thirsty. Carry a refillable water bottle. Saving money on purchasing bottled water may encourage you to drink more.
- Dress appropriately. Dress in light-weight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing. Cotton fabric is suggested.
- Wear a hat or carry an umbrella. Blocking the sun's harmful rays will reduce your chances of sunburn, AND make you feel cooler.
- Avoid midday heat. The sun is the hottest between noon and 4:00 p.m. This is a good time to have lunch, nap, go to a movie, or go shopping… indoors.
- Do use "keep your cool" gadgets. Whether it is a spray bottle to mist your face, a small personal fan, an umbrella hat, or a thermal-cool neck wrap – they do help!
- Limit vigorous activity. Limiting vigorous activity during the hottest part of the day is advised.
- Seek air conditioning. If the temperature is above 90 degrees, fans alone often cannot protect you against heat-related illness.
- Eat light. Avoid heavy foods and opt for foods high in water content – fruits, salads, and soups.
- Take baths and showers. Water conducts heat away from the body, so taking frequent tepid baths or showers is a good cooling technique.
- Enjoy water play. Whether it is the ocean, your hotel pool, a water park, or an interactive splash fountain… enjoy playing in the water wherever you are.

Orange is hoping a sub-US$40 bundle of a Firefox OS smartphone with calls, messages and data will help boost smartphone usage in Africa and the Middle East.
On the same day that Samsung Electronics and HTC are announcing new flagship models, Orange is launching a smartphone at the other end of the spectrum. The Klif is a 3G smartphone based on Mozilla's Firefox OS platform. It has a 3.5-inch screen and a dual-core processor from MediaTek.
One thing Orange would like to see more apps, which is a challenge for Firefox OS as well as any other new platform trying to challenge Android's and iOS's dominance.
Smartphone penetration in African countries where Orange has networks is about 11 percent. So the product was developed because Orange needed a really cheap device to increase smartphone usage among customers who today use feature phone, according Guillaume de Riberolles [cq], an Orange marketing director.
Those who buy the $40 bundle will get up to six months of communication services, including up to 500MB of data per month. Orange is hoping that will make it easier to get started. After the six months are over, customers will be able to switch to a pay-as-you-go tariff, said de Riberolles.
The Klif is exclusive to Orange, will start shipping during the second quarter and was developed with Alcatel OneTouch. In addition to the above mentioned specs, the smartphone has also has a 2-megapixel camera on the back and 512MB of storage.
The Klif will be available in Egypt, Senegal, Tunisia, Cameroon, Botswana, Madagascar, Mali, the Ivory Coast, Jordan, Niger, Kenya, Mauritius and Vanuatu.

A Conversation With Beatriz Gonzalez, Bea's Sweet Cakes & More
Updated 11:41 am, Friday, May 3, 2013
Beatriz Gonzalez has a passion for cakes. For years she's baked and decorated wedding, quinceañera and other cakes out of her home kitchen for friends, family and co-workers.
This weekend, she celebrates the grand opening of her own shop, Bea's Sweet Cakes & More, located one block west of Jefferson High School.
Because Gonzalez will continue her day job as a paralegal, the shop is open Thursdays through Sundays only. Her specialty is cakes, but the shop also offers brownies, cupcakes, sugar-free items, Mexican hot chocolate and café con leche.
Gonzalez talked about following her dream and offering her clients plenty of variety.
Tell me how this shop came to be.
I've been a certified paralegal for 15 years. I've been baking, though, since the age of 14, just because I liked it. When I was dating my husband, I started playing around with my tres leches recipe, because he said that was his favorite cake.
(Laughs) Right. He worked a lot and we'd see each other once a week. On the day we would meet, I would like to show off that I knew how to cook. He says that's how he got hooked.
I started doing the Wilton cake decorating classes at Michael's, just as a hobby. After I took a few courses the instructor was going to be leaving and they needed to hire somebody. I submitted pictures of my work and got the job.
I was driving in this area one day and saw this space and just knew it was right. This wasn't planned. I just took a leap of faith.
What's on your menu?
It's not a set menu, it's just whatever I have — cake by the slice, brownies, oatmeal chocolate chip raisin pecan cookies, banana chocolate chip biscotti, cupcakes, banana nut bread by the loaf. I make sugar-free items as well. I make sugar-free chocolate fudge cake with sugar-free chocolate mousse — that's the most popular so far.
How do you come up with your recipes?
They're trial and error. Nothing has been passed down to me. I wish that would've been the case, because my mom used to make some real good empanadas and pound cake, but now she doesn't remember the recipes. The café con leche I'm selling is a recipe from my husband's family in Jalisco.
What was the idea behind selling cake by the slice?
You have a variety. I'm the type of person that has a hard time deciding. If you take me to Baskin Robbins, I can't even decide.
Which cake is the most popular order for weddings or quinceañeras?
The piña colada, definitely. A lot of the brides come in thinking it has to be a white cake, but not if you ask me. If they have a big (tiered) cake, I'll let them pick up to three flavors at no extra charge. It's your special day, and I want to help make it that, so I give a lot of options.
What do you enjoy more, baking or decorating?
My passion is the decorating. When the bride or the girl having the quinceñeara comes in with pictures of what they want, or if it's something different for a party, I know I can do it.
What's the weirdest one you've been asked to do?
Other than the adult parties...
Ah, yes. Those cakes. Gotcha.
Yeah. (Laughs). I don't think of them as weird cakes, though. I think of it as a challenge. One thing I will be doing in October is a Bud Light 18-wheeler cake for 300 people. I'm really looking forward to it. I'm always up for a challenge.
How far in advance are you booked?
Right now I'm taking as much as I can, but it's only me, and I would like to keep it a small enough volume where I can still be the person in charge of your cake.

I have a client that bought a new SSL CERT for his site. I have tried to install it for him, but for some weird reason its not accepting. I can paste the cert in under the SSL tab, I select SAVE cert and click SAVE. But then the old cert is still active for the site. I tried to delete the cert and then HTTPS wont work. Then just dumping in the new CERT, but still doesnt work. How the heck do i get rid of the self signed freekin cert and replace it with the real thing in ISPC?
OK, this is a bug then. I found the problem. It seems like ISPC _does_ save the file into the new www.sitename.com.crt file under /ssl/, though it does not restart apache. I manually had to HUP apache and it refreshed it's certificates and loaded the new cert, then it worked fine. I am running ISPC 2.2.12 Or is this fixed in the new version?
Creating a SSL cert works for me in 2.2.14 and the code has not changed since 2.2.12, so I guess its a problem on your server and not a bug. Please check your ispconfig.log file for errors.
Heya, Creating a self signed is no problem. That restarts apache and installs the cert. Though after you have a self signed certificate and you bought a proper ssl cert, then paste in your bought ssl certificate then hit the "save certificate" tab, and click save, then it does save the new cert in the file, though it does not restart apache.
I also confirm that when I installed a real ssl certificate for a website, I needed to reboot myself apache to have the right SSL certificate online It was on 2.2.12 or 2.2.13 when I installed it, on Debian etch + Apache 2
Cool, Can I request a feature while we're on this topic. The certificate was from godaddy, and it worked fine with IE7 and Safari. It however gave CA errors on IE6 and all versions of Firefox. I ended up installing the intermediate CA certificate, which I had to manually upload and add a directive for apache under ISPC to load the CA. Is it possible to have another option under the SSL tab to insert a intermediate certificate for this purpose. I see quite a few people on the forum has had this problem before, enabling the option under the SSL tab for a intermediate certificate will simplify administrating other virtual sites as well. Cheers.
Well I use 2.2.14 and just got an ssl cerit. Unfortunately i did not create the csr with ispconfig but I think that should not be a problem? Anyway I went to the web to ssl, pastet the code of both, the csr and the cert to the page and hit save. The ispconfig.log show no error, but also nothing about restarting any serice, e.g. it's rehashing the postfix virtusertable but not restarting it, it's copying the apache conf but not restarting apache. or isn't this shown anymore in the logs? besides this neither apache2 ist listenning on port 443 nor the Vhosts_ispconfig.conf contains anything about ssl. Did I forget to enable anything else? In the ssl folder of the web's dir, there is only the file <hostname>.crt but I guess that's fine? Edit: After some tests I found, that there's sometime the warning of not beeing able to write the crt file, e.g. i deleted the crt, then pasted only the crt code and clicked on save cert... then the follwing warning appears: Even if it created the file...
Yeah thats a major problem. You have to use the vhost's server KEY to generate the proper cert request. Only the proper Certificate will talk properly to the KEY cert it was created with. You will have to ask your certificate provider to RE-KEY your cert with the correct Cert request. Unless, you have the key that you generated the certificate from, and you can replace it with the vhost's key.
Ok then... just filled out the fields in the ispconfig's form and clicked to generate certificate.... while the csr is going to my CA, I would expect the apache to listen to https anyway, cause there is already a selfsigned certificate. But it does not. Also if I click to save cert after creating it. Y?
Rekeying is not nescessary. Just create a new self signed cert in ISPConfig and then replace the cert, csr and key in the files which are in the ssl directory of the website with your existing cert. Afterwards replace the cert and csr in the ISPConfig interface with your existing cert too.
It may take up to a few minutes until the self signed cert is generated. If the cert does not get generated, have a look at the ispconfig.log for errors.
Hmm to early Anyway thx. But what should I have done with the key.org? Cause if I compare the way ispconfig is generating the csr and I did is quite different, I did it with: openssl req -new -nodes -keyout dateiname.key -out dateiname.csr Regarding the not listening to 443, beside that I had mod-ssl not in the apache2's mods-enabled folder but even this did not help, fater a restart (without errors) there was no change. Here's the output of ispconfig.log
Ok it works now.... In the ports.conf the line "Listen 443" was msising in the ports.conf file. Replacing the keys etc. worked fine as well. Big thx.

Fujifilm has today announced that it is to introduce the latest model in its 'Big Job' range of ruggedized digital cameras to the UK. Previously unavailable on these shores, the Big Job HD-3W offers a wide-angle (28-84mm equivalent) 3x zoom lens, 3" LCD monitor, hotshoe and ISO 1600 capability all wrapped up in a water, shock and dustproof body. Fujifilm has also equipped this 'tough guy' with a system to detect manipulation of images making it ideal for insurance and forensic photography. Pricing and availabilty are yet to be announced.
Press release:
Fujifilm drops the Big Job – a hard hat of a camera
The ultra-tough camera that likes a challenge
20 June 2007 - Fujifilm is pleased to announce the launch of the FinePix Big Job HD-3W – the first camera of its kind to be released by Fujifilm in the UK. It is a heavy-duty and highly practical digital camera designed to be used in the most challenging of environments. Having withstood a drop test to 70cm and featuring a rubber grip and big buttons, this waterproof, dust proof and shockproof camera can endure what other cameras only dream of. The FinePix Big Job HD-3W is perfect for the construction, engineering, health and safety and manufacturing industries, or any environment where it is likely to get knocked around.
The FinePix Big Job HD-3W features many improvements over its predecessor resulting from customer feedback in Japan. The new model combines a wide-angle 3x (28-84mm) optical zoom lens with a large, scratch resistant 3" LCD screen so images can be viewed on the back of the camera more clearly. The camera also features a 6 Megapixel CCD sensor and ISO sensitivity of up to 1600, so detailed, low noise images can be captured in low light levels, such as dark construction sites, without the need for flash. However, for times when flash is needed, the powerful built in strobe enables longer flash distance of up to 10 meters. In addition, the layout of the big, easy-to-use buttons allows the camera to be used whilst wearing gloves, ensuring it will not be dropped at the most crucial moment.
In two world firsts for the FinePix range the Big Job HD-3W features 'Detection of Manipulation' and 'CALS' modes. The first highlights any tampering that has occurred to images after the photo has been taken. Using the FinePix viewer software on a computer, it is possible to check whether the image has been processed or edited to ensure the integrity of all images. The CALS mode takes photos at 1MP – an ideal size for attaching and distributing via email. These unique features, along with the Shot Date function, which records the time and date that the photo was taken, make monitoring and reporting the progress of work highly reliable and as simple as possible.
Adrian Clarke, Director of Photo Products at Fujifilm UK Ltd. said, "Since digital cameras are electronic devices, they generally do not take kindly to knocks, damp or dust. For many years, Fujifilm Tokyo has been marketing a heavy-duty camera for the construction industry with great success, so we decided to market this latest Big Job model in the UK. It may have an unusual name, but it's perfect for heavy industrial use, where high quality, no fuss pictures are required without worrying about damage to the camera. There aren't many models out there specifically designed for this kind of use, so we expect demand to be strong."

While there is no surefire method to dislodging that trapped snack, how-to site wikiHow suggests that vending machines with door flaps can be used to create a rush of air that can help your food or drink reach its intended destination. AdvertisementThe trick is to get your hands under the flap at the retrieval, push it up, and let it snap back quickly. Repeating this motion a few times can sometimes create enough air to help your snack fall out of place when shaking the machine doesn't work (or you don't want to draw attention by doing it). If you're unsuccessful after a few tries you should instead consider calling for help or a refund. Most vending machines have a contact number around the side that you can use to report a stuck item and receive a refund or learn how you can find someone to help you actually retrieve your purchase. It's great if you can get what you paid for without any intervention, but if you can't your best bet is to ask for help.Photo by TheVectorminator (Shutterstock).AdvertisementFree a Stuck Item from a Vending Machine | wikiHowReply20 repliesLeave a reply

(Reuters) - Jerry Sandusky's adult adopted son told police he had lied to a grand jury when he denied being sexually abused by the former Penn State University assistant football coach and said he was coming forward so his family would know the truth, according to a tape of his police interview aired by NBC on Tuesday.
Matt Sandusky, 33, said in the interview with police in Pennsylvania he was molested by Jerry Sandusky, 68, off and on from ages 8 to 15 and tried to cope by escaping from his new family's home and attempting to commit suicide.
"I know that I really wanted to die at that point in time," Matt Sandusky, who was adopted at age 18 by Jerry Sandusky and his wife Dottie after living with them as a foster child, told police.
Jerry Sandusky was convicted in a closely watched trial by a jury in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania last Friday on 45 child sex abuse charges linked to the sexual abuse of 10 boys over a 15-year period, sometimes at Penn State facilities.
He continues to maintain his innocence from jail through his lawyers, who say they did not believe Matt Sandusky's account and were prepared to attack his credibility at trial.
Jerry Sandusky is "not a beaten man. He is pacing a cell right now being held in solitary confinement, wanting to get out and get his story out and continue to defend himself," his attorney Karl Rominger told NBC.
"I don't think Jerry believes he has anything to feel sorry for. At this point, he maintains his innocence adamantly," Rominger said.
Shortly after jury deliberations began, a lawyer for Matt Sandusky said the adopted son had met with prosecutors to tell them that he, too, had been sexually abused by the former coach despite his previous denials.
According to NBC, Matt Sandusky secretly met with police four days into his father's trial, and detectives were preparing for him to testify as a surprise prosecution witness. He did not end up testifying. Jerry Sandusky also did not testify.
On the tape of the police interview, Matt Sandusky said he remembered sometimes hiding in a fetal position when Jerry Sandusky entered his bedroom.
"If you were pretending you were asleep and you were touched or rubbed in some way, you could just act like you were rolling over in your sleep so you could change positions," Matt Sandusky said.
He said he was seeing a therapist and the memories were just starting to come back, and he did not "as of this time" recall any penetration or oral sex.
During the trial, eight accusers, now men aged 18 to 28, testified for the prosecution, describing in often graphic detail being molested by Sandusky as boys, including oral and anal sex and shared showers. Two other alleged victims were never identified.

Just says it all.
If Obama had a son....
If obama had a son? Dawg that looks like his sister and her son! Like extended family or something.
He was eating vegetable. The village should praise him.
Wow, if that was my kid/s, they wouldn't have left the store alive.
Jesse Jackson may be the father
Reminds me of "Leave It to Beaver".
Those bipeds were brought up wrong and trained to do worse ... their incubator (I shan't dignify it with the term "mother") has no control over them, and the law discourages the shopkeeper from administering to them a severe thrashing followed by a vigorous defenestration. They richly deserve such, though ... as is, they will eventually attempt to rob an armed citizen and end up quite thoroughly dead.
I remember that episode.
"HEY YOU MOTHER *#%^#%^$%^ get me out of this ^%$&%^$&%^$^%$^&$^ cup.
Whitey! When I get my $^&%$^&&$^ hands on you Ima %^%^&$%^$&^%$#%^%^%& your $&%^$%&^%*()^) till it &*^*(&()**(
Hell hath no fury like a pissed-off inner city brood mare...
And these are the same monstrous kids that teachers deal with every day and are supposed to raise their test scores in school. Word.

I give her credit for actually trying to control the child's bad behavior however that defiant look he gave her said it all. That boy does not have a father to beat his a$$ when he gets home and that is why she's so out of control and so is he.
Saved the weave though!
I agree! That was one of the more lively episodes.
Usually, June kept her cool and hid her abusive tendencies, but she finally let her true colors show in "Airplane".
I always heard that she wore those pearls to keep her neck veins hidden when her temper flared.
Amazing that Wally and Beaver turned out to be so normal.
The "Great Society" Made fathers irrelevant.
"I always heard that she wore those pearls to keep her neck veins hidden when her temper flared."
Rumor has it that she was actually an early Trannie and the pearls were used to keep the foreskin out of sight.
Amazing that Wally and Beaver turned out to be so normal.
Every time I go to Aldi...
More like feeding time at the zoo or Bonzo goes to Safeway.
This could be an outtake from âIdiocracyâ.
Most of us who survived not being strapped down in car seats did.
Yes, but a girl I knew in high school pulled out all of the eyelashes of one of her eyelids because she was using an eyelash curler in a car when they hit a bump.
Growing up I never heard my parents swear. Not once. I remember my dad would always yell 'judas priest!' if he stubbed his toe or hit his thumb with a hammer. (I never heard my friend's parents swear either) Later when I was in my late teens I would occasionally hear my dad curse but NEVER the f word. Dropping the f bomb every 5 seconds is a sure sign of illiteracy.
To this day I have never, ever heard my father use the F word.
OTOH, I have heard my mom use it twice (and one of those was during an argument with Dad).
My parents too....they were *classy* that way.
Once and only once, my mother dropped a good china dish and it shattered...she said *damnation*.....my brother and I looked at each other with dropped jaws....it never was said again. The good ole days. :)
There's no man in the house and the kid is big enough to fight his mother. Even if she was a good mother, he's been spending every day since he was age 4 with kids raised by thugs and rap music for generations.
I don't blame any of them. They were born into a culture and system where they wouldn't turn out any other way. A system of designed failure to enable their votes to be bought for generations. Like wildlife being fed to put on a show.
Just a complete tragedy on all fronts
As I know it, youngster acted up in school; parents were called to come and pick him up. When child got home dad, spanked his bottom, and had the child do push-ups and squats as punishment. The 5 y/o died.
Just wow.

My good friend allowed me to borrow some DVDs about Arnis showing various armed and unarmed techniques. The DVDs featured Professor Remy Presas (1936-2001).
I get to watch many martial arts videos and DVDs. I have to say that I was absolutely amazed by Professor Presas. I just watched and shook my head. How could anyone be so skilled? He was so relaxed and calm, but literally tied his attackers into knots.
We Karate students should never forget that we can learn a great deal from other martial arts. A master of any art is a master. I wish that I could have seen Professor Presas in real life.
I have a great deal of respect for the Filipino martial arts. Our Hawai Karate Museum has the Halford E. Jones Filipino Martial Arts Collection. As I have written before, when I started learnng Kenpo Karate in high school, I actually thought that it was a Filipino martial art because most of my teachers were Filipino.
