You know where you are going on vacation. You have even booked plane tickets. Next, you have to find an excellent hotel. Just how should you go about finding the best hotel for your money? Start at the beginning by reading the following article. Read the following tips to learn how to secure the best room within your budget.
Use travel websites, like Expedia and Priceline to find great hotel deals. If you're a member of a loyalty program of a hotel, make sure you input that data when checking out rates. Also, you may be eligible for discounts through other organizations to which you may belong, such as AARP or AAA.
If you are out of the room for any length of time, protect the valuables you leave in the room. In addition to leaving expensive items in a safe, leave the television on when you are out of the room. That will make it look like you are still there and thieves will move on.
If you are traveling with pets, be sure to select hotels that have good accommodations for them. This is especially true if you are planning on an extended stay. A good hotel that allows pets should have amenities for them. These might include and groomer, doggy day care and special walking areas.
To save a little bit of money on the cost of your hotel room, whether you are booking over the phone or online, see if there is a discount for paying at the time of booking rather than waiting to pay at checkout. Often this can make the difference between queen and king beds, or between a room and a suite.
If you are out of the room for any length of time, protect the valuables you leave in the room. In addition to leaving expensive items in a safe, leave the television on when you are out of the room. That will make it look like you are still there and thieves will move on.
Do not feel silly when it comes to asking a hotel's guest representative some questions. If you are looking for quiet and relaxation, you need to ask ahead to be sure you will get it. For instance, is the hotel too close to an airport? Is there construction going on nearby. Know this before booking with a hotel.
Will your children be staying with you during your next hotel stay? If so, pick a hotel that best suits their needs. yelp montezuma costa rica includes amenities of the actual hotel and the location itself. A hotel could be lovely, have an indoor pool, or offer all the cable channels. But, if it's located in an industrial area or in the part of town with lots of bard, your children may not be pleased.
If you are going to stay in a hotel, be sure to give them a call the day before you are due to arrive. Hotels are not responsible for calling guests to confirm their reservation; that is up to the guest. Always call the hotel to be sure your room is still reserved.
If you care about the environment, then you may be interested in taking a "green" vacation. Luckily, many hotels are around these days for you to choose from. Many new hotels are constructed to meet green standards, earning green certification. Other older hotels will just provide green options for you. A travel agent or similar source can help you find hotels that are considered 'green'.
If Wi-Fi is a very important amenity and you are looking to save a bit of money on your hotel stay, it would be a good idea to stay at someplace that is mid-level. While high-end hotels may be a bit cozier, they usually have a surcharge for Internet use.
If you forget to bring toiletries with you, the housekeeping staff at the hotel may be able to help. Most hotels provide soap, shampoo and conditioner as a matter of course, but they may also have toothbrushes, toothpaste, combs, razors and other necessary items on hand for those who request them. Many even supply hair dryers in the room, so you do not have to bring your own along.
If possible, don't check out earlier than intended. Some hotels charge early departure fees. Upon reserving a hotel room, you tie up that room in the hotel. This means that your early departure results in the hotel losing money. Make sure hotel el jardin montezuma costa rica understand that you might be charged for an early departure.
If you are going to stay in a hotel, be sure to give them a call the day before you are due to arrive. Hotels are not responsible for calling guests to confirm their reservation; that is up to the guest. Always call the hotel to be sure your room is still reserved.
If you are looking to save money on your next trip, it is a good idea to book a hotel that has an in-room kitchen. Many places have full kitchens that include a countertop range and a refrigerator. Preparing your own meals will save you money since you will not need to pay for room service or restaurant food.
Don't open that bottles water! After checking in you may be thirsty and tired. Opening the bottle in the mini-fridge is tempting. Hotels are aware of this; therefore, their bottled water prices are very expensive. Sometimes you can get a free water bottle in the hotel gym. If not, hit a convenience store and save some money.
Check out the prices at the hotel website. Sometimes the hotel website will have deals that trump the hotel discount websites out there. Before you pick a deal be sure to do this due diligence. You can even call the hotel to ask if they have any unpublished rates.
As demonstrated above, there are many things you can do to make sure that you are not being overcharged for a substandard room in an undesirable part of town. It just takes a bit of research and using the advice in the hints above. So keep them in mind the next time you are booking a room and have a enjoyable stay.

I bet you have several favorite go-to combos. Something flattering, something that makes you instantly confident, something you'd wear if you need to look your best. Here's one mine, the polka dot top and black cardi combo.
What so special? Today I'll need to meet a client at work, and after work, there's a dinner with SC's relatives. Pressure pressure pressure.
This combo makes me look (a little) slimmer, professional (when paired with work skirt and heels), and the ribbon at the neck with the puffy sleeves of the cardigan still give out "young and sweet" vibe.
Top = From Galeri Keris, Jakarta
Cardi = Fa Yuen St Market, Prince Edward
Skirt = G2000
Shoes = Vincci, Kuala Lumpur

The Real Story Behind The Kneeling Mother
Two days ago, netizens were baffled after seeing a photo of a mother kneeling down in front of her daughter, all because of an expensive phone.
The old woman, who they referred as disabled, was allegedly asking for forgiveness from her daughter because they can't afford to buy an iPhone.
Today, a Facebooker namely as Chalee Bee Ngam, clearly stated that it was just a misunderstanding on the part of the one who took the photograph.
On his timeline, Ngam posted the censored photo of the mother and daughter and told everyone to stop spreading lies.
He said that the guy who posted the original photo, already apologizes because he only made up the story, for these two were just plain talking.
It was known that the woman who was the girl's step mom was disabled and can't walk like a normal person do and usually moves around, kneeling.
A friend who knows the girl, stepped up and made it clear to everybody that the story was indeed, not true.

Great place great location.
The hotel was quite charming and the rooms were large comfortable and staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious and relaxing. I loved listening to the boats go down to canal outside out window (NOT noisy).
This hotel is a gem. A bit hard to find but once you arrive it is amazing. So centrally located and very quiet. Beautiful and elegant are the words to describe Ca'Amadi. I will always stay at this hotel when my travels take me to Venice.
Ca' Amadi was simply incredible. Wandering Venice to find the hotel gave you the feeling of stepping back into time. The hotel is beautiful. The history is everywhere. The room was larger than expected, spotless, with a comfortable bed and the biggest bathroom we've seen on our trip. The decorations were beautiful. Breakfast was delicious, the freshly made cappucino the oerfect start to our day. We only stayed one night, but Ca' Amadi will be our Venice stop every time we visit. Perfect stay!
We so enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The room could not have been more spacious or beautiful. The host were very gracious and extremely helpful. It is a little hard to find but the instructions were clear and we were able to go straight there.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

Fog Fog and More Fog
Commuted to work on my bicycle today through the dreary fog in Seattle but I like it better then rain. My commute is 9 miles and takes me about 45 minutes due to stopping at stop lights and avoiding students on the bike trail near the University of Washington. The other night we went to the Sonics Game at Seattle Center and you couldn't even see the top of the Space Needle - reminds me of that line from Annie about make it shine like the top of the Chysler Building - or like Men In Black - we thought the top of the Space Needle had taken off.

I've been meaning to write this post for ages but keep forgetting. You know those fountains on the sidewalks of Rome we all love?
Yeah, those. Well, you might want to think twice before drinking from them. Why you ask? In the past few years, as the number of dogs in the city has skyrocketed, I've noticed more and more dog owners- including crusties (or as we say in Italian "punkabbestia") with their rabid pack of dogs- letting their pets drink from these fountains... which would be fine and dandy IF their tongues didn't slurp all over the spigot in the process. I'm not fond of dog germs or dogs for that matter so I now only use fountains that are too tall for dogs to reach. Gone are the days when I would drink the ice-cold fresh water from these fountains without a care in the world, instead I now a stare at these germ-infested watering holes from a distance and walk in the other direction.

yuck. there are waaaaaay too many dogs in this town... rather too many uneducated dog owners. it doesn't say much about rome when one of the first thing i warn visitors about is to watch out for poop and the stench of pee. they really need to do something about the whole dog thing.

It's not the size. I started a new form and after creating 6 drop down boxes I was booted out of Adobe Livecycle ES2. Has this happened to anyone else????
I am creating a complex 36 page questionnaire with lots of dependency's and buttons. Each field has a large amount in the TIPS fields.
I am about half way through the form and I now can not add a field to the form - I keep getting booted out of Livecyle ES2. Are there size constraints? My file is 1273KB.
This was happening a month ago and our desktop people replaced my PC and it worked great until now. Any help is appreciated.

There was a time when every centrally heated home was fitted with a large, cumbersome cast iron radiator that not only took up a large amount of space but also were not especially efficient by modern day standards in heating. These traditional radiators ran on a single pipe system where water was heated to create steam that was then pumped up through the pipe in the radiator. As the steam cooled, the condensation would run back down the same pipe to be re-heated. In the past few decades, double pipe water heating has largely replaced the old system. Here, the water itself is heated and pumped into the pipes to heat the radiator. As it cools it runs down a separate pipe on the opposite side and back into the boiler to be reheated.

Inter-observer variability in contouring is a well-known phenomenon in radiotherapy. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the magnitude of interobserver variability in the delineation of gross tumour volume 9GTV) using 18F‐Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography‐computed tomography (18F‐FDG‐PET‐CT) in early stage non small cell lung cancer.
From January 2013‐ July 2014, 20 consecutive patients with diagnosed early NSCLC (pT1‐pT3, N0M0) were accrued. The GTV was drawn in three dimensions on CT scan images as visualized by a radiation oncologist (RO) with the simultaneous incorporation of information from PET images. The GTV was drawn independently for each patient by 3 radiation oncologists with varying degree of experience (RO A- 2 years, RO B – 5 years, and RO C- more than 10 years). The GTVs delineated by three different observers were compared by the concordance index (CI), defined as the ratio of the intersection and the union of the two volumes (CI = (A∩B)/(AUB) in which A stands for the GTV of the first observer and B for the GTV of the second observer). The concordance indices were calculated for observer A vs. B, B vs. C, A vs. C in each patient.
Mean GTV of 20 patients for observer A, B, and C were 93.2 cubic centimeters (ccs), 89.3 ccs, and 92.4 ccs respectively. Mean CI for observer A vs. B, A vs. C and B vs. C were 0.819, 0.802 and 0.801 respectively. On comparison using Wilcoxon-signed rank test, mean CIs between three pairs were not significantly different statistically (p-value for A vs. B and A vs. C is 0.548, p-value for A vs. B and B vs. C is 0.666, p-value for A vs. C and B vs. C is 0.638). On overall comparison by Friedman test, mean CIs between three pairs were not significantly different statistically (p-value 0.681).
We found that there exists a good agreement in the delineation of GTV using PETCT for early stage non small cell lung cancer between three radiation oncologists despite the difference in the degree of experience.

Poem written August 8, 2011 about my friend Terry Tenove (1954-1978)
Still, I think of him -- and often.
(Happily and with affinity.)
Sometimes, still, my heart aches then is softened
(Subtly, I see.)
His time with us, though shortened, still is not forgotten.
(Not by me.)
What he could have created here, is foregone.
(But one day still may be.)
Who he was here, doesn't alone determine who he shall one day become.
Smiling inside, I know he's happy even now.
(And free.)
In our future reunion all will be compensated, corrected, and perfected.
No longer in our time, he is forever in God's.
(Nobly. Still, Terry.)

Everyone should have at least ONE good friend in life, as Terry was to me. I was fortunate to know him. Life would not have been nearly so interesting and fun without him. His passing left a big whole (for now) in our lives. Some day we shall meet again.

Saturday @ QCon19
Clements once again was our friend and provided our early morning caffeine shot as we settled down in the board gaming area - so what to play?
Undecided, we opened with a quick game of Zombie Dice before moving on to Bohnanza, a light(ish) German bean trading card game from AMIGO Spiel. (1997)
|Beans, not cowboys!
Beans of the same type must be planted together and beans yield different returns based on their value (depends on how frequent they are in the deck).
|Beans with no name?
Overall, Bohnanza should not to be taken too seriously. I have the German version of the game and much fun can be had during trading as players create their own English names for the different bean types...
...the Boxing bean, the Fire bean, the Shit bean and the Puke bean... we've heard most of the "translations" already :)
Our morning closed with a second failed attempt to beat Pandemic. There was much discussion about what we could do differently next time... ...my inner voice was screaming - "drop these clowns and play it solo!"
Lunch was pizza and more Zombie Dice at the Parlour across from the student's union building.
|Original, still the best?
We dined at The Other Place for our evening meal. It sounds vaguely supernatural, but actual offers fairly plain fare. Ideal for hungry gamers!
|Thunderstone Hooo!
Thunderstone, similar in many ways to Dominion, is a fantasy deck-building game. "Fight the evils of the dungeon to prove your worth. Gain powerful weaponry and level into new and mighty hero classes. Claim the best cards and survive to take the Thunderstone."
I struggled a little to come up with the right card combos, but I did like the theme of the game more than I do with Dominion. Dominion may still be the stronger game and I'm not sure that you could justify having both in your collection, certainly worth a second look though.
Finally we made it to the bar and spent the rest of the evening drinking and playing pool. Home for 2am...
What state will we be in on Sunday for our Game of Thrones showpiece?

We love just unconventional fragrances. Since we opened up our store we search for the ultimate smell that personifies our love for denim. In our search for the right aroma for our TdN store, we ended op addicted to another store: Skins cosmetics. First we bought the Diptyque Pachouli. We were very happy, but after 4 weeks of pleasure in the shop we went back for something new. Together with the friendly lady we decided we had to go for something else. She recommended Le Labo. A New York based company that creates unique perfumes for the ones that do not desire to wear colones worn by millions of others. The candle we bought for the shop is the Cedre 11 as recommended by the skilled lady from Skins. It smells extraordinary and the best part is that it was instandly branded with our Tenue de Nîmes name. The next step just has to be a nice colabo in order form the ultimate TdN fragance in TdN look and feel. We'll keep you updated. Any denim oriented smell suggestions are welcome! Keep you updated.

I wonder if the "Michael" character was the first one who came up with it. So weird.

Why did you add comedy? That prison was built for like 200 people but is housing over a thousand. The inmates have to sleep in shifts. The female prisoners have the logo of the warren tattooed on their arms, he owns them. That tranny you saw playing the girl gives head for about five cents. The dancing is done simply for the prison guards amusement.

There are certain privileges that the sacred
ministers (i.e., the celebrant, deacon, subdeacon[1]) enjoy due to the dignity of
their office, but which the inferior ministers do not generally share.
These privileges are as follows:
Regarding uniformity of action, L. O'Connell
declares that "Nothing is more conducive to the smoothness of a
It follows then, that the servers should make every effort to
genuflect, to make the various liturgical gestures, to walk, to make
the responses in unison either with other servers, or with the sacred
ministers where this applies.
walk erect and at moderate pace. One's eyes should be slightly cast
downwards when walking out of reverence for the sanctuary.
Never walk sideways (i.e.,
sidestepping); rather, turn in the proper direction, walk the short
distance, and then turn back to face the former direction. Nor should
walk backwards; one is allowed to take one step back, but that is all.
When encountering obstacles, if possible, step off to the right of it.
When ascending steps, do so with your left foot first.
Walking Around The Foot
When walking around the foot, e.g.,
to go to the Credence, one should not "curb" it. Rather one should go
around the foot in a graceful,
elliptical manner, keeping about a foot away ["A foot for the foot"].
This will prevent one from hitting the steps accidentally with his
shoe, and will also prevent the "leaning towards the step" look that
normally accompanies "curbing" the steps.
With Another Server
When two servers are walking together, they always
walk shoulder to shoulder, not in single file.
When Two Servers Are Walking Around
The Foot
Again the same rule as for one server applies: The
inside server should keep a foot away from the foot.
Likewise, the inside server must go at a slow enough pace to allow the
outside server to keep up with the elliptical movement around the foot.
Like A Door" Movement
There are times when two servers will need to
"swing like a door"
rather than turn inwards so as to continue walking shoulder to
shoulder. In this case, the inside server will swivel slightly towards
the direction in which the pair will proceed, while allowing the
outside server to keep up.
One must sit straight and erect without leaning
against objects behind him.[4]
When sitting, the surplice should be positioned in one's lap without
stretching it, so that the hem is slightly above the bend of the knee.
The hem should be arranged neatly, and the hands should be placed
inside the hem, palm down, with fingers extended and held together,
upon each knee.
During Low Mass:
Servers kneel out of deportment[6], rather than out of
reverence, which is why they bow when kneeling, but sacred ministers do
not (when a sacred minister kneels, he does so
to show a reverence). However, there are a few exceptions:
During A Missa Cantata
Or A Solemn
High Mass:
These are the general rules for the ministers:
When the celebrant sits, the ministers
sit (unless occupied with a duty), when the celebrant
stands the ministers stand, when the celebrant
kneels (for an objective reason), then the ministers kneel.
Servers generally stand[9] during these Masses with the
exception of these cases:
During A Requiem Missa
Cantata Or Solemn High Mass
As usual for High Mass, with these exceptions:
(liturgical gestures)
General Rules
Folded Hands
When one's hands are not in use, hold them with
fingers touching, palm to palm with the right thumb over left thumb ("…in
modum crucis…" [11]), at about a twenty degree
angle just in front of the sternum (not actually touching the chest)[12].
The Large Sign Of The Cross
keeping your right hand fingers together, touch your forehead, then
your sternum (just above your left hand), the top of your left
shoulder, then slightly twist your wrist and touch the top of your
right shoulder[13]. This sign should always be
made deliberately and reverently.
Making The Small
Sign Of The Cross (The Gospel Cross)
your right thumb pointing upwards, and your extended right hand
pointing left, take the fleshy side of your thumb and make a small
cross on your forehead, then your lips, and finally your chest (just
above your left hand). Each small cross should be a Greek cross
(equilateral) and made with reverence and care. Do not form your hand
into a fist when performing this action.
Striking The
your right hand extended, but slightly cupped, and strike your breast
on your sternum (just above your left hand held flat) noiselessly with
the tips of fingers. Do not form your right hand into a fist. The only
time one strikes his breast are for these occasions:
Do Not Strike Your Breast
When servers are carrying objects, they do not
make any of the usual liturgical gestures with their hands (e.g.,
during a blessing, the acolytes and crossbearer
neither kneel nor make the sign of the cross).
However, they do perform the usual bows (unless they are accompanying
an image of Christ; cf. below).[17]
Torches are always held in the outside
There is an exception to this general rule: When the torchbearers
walk next to Blessed Sacrament (e.g., on either
side of canopy), torches are held
in the inside hand.
Books are always placed with the opening facing left.[18]
When presenting a book to a superior minister, hold the book so that
the opening faces right. In this way, the minister does not have to
turn the book around when he receives it so that it will face left.
Books Can Be Carried In Two Ways:
When A Minister
Is Reading From A Book:
Books are either held open:
This will depend on the situation. However, an
opened book is always held with both hands under the bottom edge of the
book (i.e., the cover boards), but so that the
pages can still be turned.
[1] And during a Pontifical Mass, the assistant priest and deacons.
[2] However, outside of a function, a major cleric is still required to genuflect in plano as he is no longer exercising one of the offices of sacred ministers. This is confirmed by the fact that the Ceremoniale Episcoporum assumes that the head MC will be at least a priest, and because this office is that of an inferior minister, he is thereby required to follow the various genuflecting rules for inferior ministers. If this occurs in functionis, then a fortiori, outside of a function, a major cleric would be required to also do so outside of a ceremony when no office is being enacted.
[3] The Book of Ceremonies, pg. 29.
[4] Only a bishop has the right to have a back to his seat, that is, the throne. Even the sedilia should not have a back.
For an excellent in-depth explanation of these principles, one should
consult Fr. Michael Simoulin's article in the March 1997 issue of The Angelus, pages 13-19.
[6] The principle behind this is that the propers or Ordinary are not being chanted. When one sings, one generally stands.
[7] However, the servers should not sit at the sedilia, as this is reserved for the sacred ministers. Rather, they should sit at separate stools.
[8] Generally called "High" Mass.
[9] The reason for this, is that standing is the "liturgical position par excellence." Fr. Simoulin, March 1997, The Angelus, pg. 17.
[10] In practice, this rule differs slightly for the torchbearers, who kneel upon being led into the sanctuary at the Sanctus, until they are led out after the Distribution of Holy Communion. However, the two senior torchbearers go to each side of the Communion rail and stand during Communion (after having themselves received).
[11] Rit. Cel. III, 1.
[12] Folded hands represent a state of inactivity, so one should not receive the Lavabo towel on one's folded hands, but rather in the thumbs and index fingers of one's outstretched hands.
[13] This over-the-right-hand-shoulder action symbolizes the throwing off of sin.
But not at a Requiem Mass, as the words change, and so the meaning
changes to "may he rest in peace," to which a striking of the breast is
not appropriate, as this action symbolizes contrition.
[15] This is a part of the Canon, and the celebrant is supposed to use the tone of aliquantulum voce to simply let those near him know where he is at in the Canon. L. O'Connell, pg. 161.
[16] The celebrant
is saying, "Lord, I am not worthy to receive;" therefore, it does not
make sense that anyone other than the celebrant should be striking his
breast. L. O'Connell, pg. 161.
[17] There is, however, a practical exception for the torchbearers:
When they are holding their torches and a moderate bow is prescribed,
they make only a simple bow, as it is impractical for them to make a
moderate bow.
[18] Exception: When a book is on the Gospel side of the altar, the opening faces right, i.e., towards the tabernacle.

This book presents a broad collection of models and computational methods - from atomistic to continuum - applied to crystal dislocations. Its purpose is to help students and researchers in computational materials sciences to acquire practical knowledge of relevant simulation methods. Because their behavior spans multiple length and time scales, crystal dislocations present a common ground for an in-depth discussion of a variety of computational approaches, including their relative strengths, weaknesses and inter-connections. The details of the covered methods are presented in the form of 'numerical recipes' and illustrated by case studies. A suite of simulation codes and data files is made available on the book's website to help the reader 'to learn-by-doing' through solving the exercise problems offered in the book.

text: The optical properties of the dust particles that drive the winds of cool giant stars affect the stellar spectra in two ways: (1) indirectly, through their influence on the dynamical structure of the atmosphere/envelope and the resulting molecular features, and (2) directly, by changes of the spectral energy distribution due to absorption and scattering on dust grains. The qualitative differences in the energy distributions of C-type and M-type AGB stars in the visual and near-infrared regions suggest that the dust particles in oxygen rich atmospheres are relatively transparent to radiation. By using detailed dynamical models of gas and radiation combined with a simple description for the dust opacity (which can be adjusted to mimic different wavelength dependences and condensation temperatures) and also by adjusting the fraction of the opacity that is treated as true absorption, we investigate which dust properties produce synthetic photometry consistent with observations. The goal of this study is to narrow down the possible dust species that may be driving the winds in M-type AGB stars.

Who ever says that corporations have us under their thumb need to get out more.
The Wall Street Journal ran a front-page article Friday about a retire real-estate developer and his new online hobby: screwing over a business development firm called Allied Capital Corp. James Brickman, who mockingly labels himself "tellmeitsnottopsecret" on Yahoo chat rooms, spends his days digging through public records and elaborating on all the weaknesses of the company. Over the past two years, he has posted over 2,000 articles about Allied. Some posts, like the one that details their loan-transfer data, literally causes their stock to tumble (in the week after that information was posted, Allied stocks dropped by $2).
For Mr. Brickman, it's not a matter of revenge. Allied is just a company that has a lot of problems, ones that the gadfly thanks them for (he started doing this literally because he was bored with retirement). Not only does it create a lot of material to post on, he's made some money shorting the stock. (For all you non-economists, this basically means you sell borrowed shares and give them back later by buying the stocks at a—hopefully—reduced price.)
Mr. Brickman has no training in the stock market. He's just a man with time on his hands, a trait shared by many of the people that hate "big corporations." For all you college students out there, if you want to "take it to the man" and make a little money on the side, why don't stop complaining and start posting? The economy will appreciate the accurate information, you will appreciate the income and empowerment and I'll appreciate the cut you'll sure to give me.

David, I don't think you need to be an "economist" to know what selling short is. I'm not an economist, but I knew what it was because I have been trading stocks for years. Please, don't "sell" us non-economists "short" :) :) !!!!!

Pete Duranko, an All-America defensive lineman on Notre Dame's 1966 national championship football team died Friday afternoon at Windber Hospice in Windber, Pa., after a decade-long long battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). He was 67.
Originally from Johnston, Pa., the 6-foot-2, 235-pound Duranko played as an Irish backup fullback in 1963 -- gaining 93 yards on 26 attempts. He started the '64 season at linebacker for the Irish, making an interception in the opener at Wisconsin -- but he missed the rest of the season due to injury suffered against the Badgers.
After moving to defensive left tackle in '65, Duranko finished second on the squad in tackles with 95 (behind only Jim Lynch's 108), including 14 against North Carolina. Then, in '66 he accounted for 73 tackles, recovered one fumble and broke up one pass.
Duranko played a key role on the '66 championship defense that ranked second nationally in scoring defense (3.8 points per game), fourth in total defense (187.6 yards per game and the best Notre Dame defensive average since 1947) and ninth in rushing defense (79.3 yards per game). The '66 Irish squad shut out six of its 10 opponents and allowed only five touchdowns all season long.

Saturday Morning
Laundry, laundry, laundry, my machine was running all day yesterday with load after load of washing both from the caravan and from the house and I am still not there yet. According to the weather forecast we are due for some rain today though at the moment it doesn't look bad at all with blue skies and little puffy white clouds. Perhaps it will hold off until my line is full of washing!!!! Anyway I have at least broken the back of it. The stuff which is from the van goes back into a collapsible plastic crate ready to be taken back on the next trip that way I don't get it all muddled up with the general household washing. I always leave the van with clean linen as the last thing you want to do when you are newly arrived is to set to and make up the bed. You can imagine with 4 adults in the house there is plenty of general washing anyway.
We decided to shoot out to Tesco and stock up on a few bits and bobs but you should have seen it. The place was heaving with folks with trollies full to the brim with masses of stuff I was wondering if I had missed some news that war had been declared or something. The shop is only shut for one day but people were stocking up as for a siege. Anyway we bought the ingredients for a quick lunch of tortilla with salsa and sour cream which with all hands on deck was prepared in minutes and eaten in seconds. Supper was a treat the boys treated me to a curry which they organised so there was nothing for me to do except eat it. Today, we are going to have a shoulder of lamb which has defrosted overnight and I have loads of spuds I am not quite sure what to do with. I have boiled a load of them and intend to make mash and then freeze it for later use. Alternatively I could cube the spuds so they are ready to make saute potatoes or potato salad either way they will not go to waste. I wonder if you can freeze them sliced so you can make a dauphinoise in double quick time. The other thing that crossed my mind was to make a batch of potato scones or grate them and make rosti oh the possibilities are endless.
Anyway time I got underway and made up my mind what to do. Perhaps I will try the spuds in all the various ways and see how successful each method is. Watch this space for the results!!!! The clouds are now thickening and darkening so I guess the rain is on its way but the garden really could use a drink so I am not fussed and the laundry can wait for better weather or I might go mad and use the tumble dryer just to get it out of the way.
I hope the rain doesn't spoil your plans or maybe you may be lucky and miss it. Anyway have a great day all........

Moneyinmywranglers dangerous on the lead
Moneyinmywranglers appears to be the controlling speed in the $50,000 New Braunfels, a six-furlong stakes for fillies and mares at Retama Park that drew a competitive field of 11.
But despite the large field, there does not appear to be an abundance of speed in the race. It is a situation upon which Moneyinmywranglers can capitalize. Although she has been effective stalking, she does enter the New Braunfels off a front-running win at 5 1/2 furlongs at Retama on Oct. 18.
Moneyinmywranglers dueled throughout a $35,000 optional claimer and held for a nose win over a handful of the same rivals she will again face in the New Braunfels. The race was her first start since July, and with the win she improved her career record to 9 for 18. Sharon Barker co-owns and trains Moneyinmywranglers, who will be ridden by Rohan Singh. The team drew well in post 8.
The chief pace threat could be Five Star Daydream, who drew the rail. She won a restricted sprint stakes wire to wire at Belmont Park back in 2006, and in more recent times has been taking on allowance rivals in the Southwest.
Her last start came at Zia Park, where she was second by three-quarters of a length in a $25,000 optional claiming sprint Oct. 18. Omar Rodriguez has the mount on Five Star Daydream for trainer J.R. Caldwell.
The field also includes a trio of stakes-winning 3-year-old fillies: Ruffaroundtheedges, Formal Flyer, and Ms Classic Seneca.

He says,"the same fire continues to burn within me, the fire of the Lord's love, full of freedom and joy, wanting to bring His healing and His peace to all He asks me to serve".
Feedback from the 2017 Headteachers' National Retreat
Headteachers: Called to dialogue and encounter - Fr Michael Brehl CSsR
.... An exceptional speaker, humble and modest who spoke from the heart and understood where we are as Catholics today. Such understanding of the frailty of human nature and the striving to seek Christ in our everyday lives.
.... The music was exceptional and enhanced the liturgies and prayers beautifully. CJM is always a delight to experience.
.... A wonderful opportunity to take time to reflect on what is important not only as a Catholic leader but as a mother/family member/friend.
.... Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Impossible to describe the nourishment and the experience of being surrounded by tenderness. There was a discourse of mercy this year - as Head, I feel so much of what we do is to make sense of things for others and as a London Head, this year I feel especially drained from this because of the disasters. Never underestimate the beauty of what you provide us with.

A picture I am proud of taking (the rose in focus, the couple holding hands out of focus... so sweet)
The story of the God-sized things that are happening in Rome, Italy during the life of Chris Rule.
Sunday, September 30, 2007
Here are some pictures from last weekend's excursion to the Villa D'Este in Tivoli. I think this is where the cardinals used to live. Basically what it is is a ridiculously large house followed by an even more ridiculous garden with a bajillion fountains (a bajillion is scientific terms for more than ever needed but still really cool). I, being the ever adventurous (read into this: stupid) one, ran through one of them with Amos into a little cave behind it for a BC point. 'Twas lots of fun... check out Joel's website for even more pictures at http://www.flickr.com/photos/hardmaj1/

"me in front of the big fountain" looks like some poor 6th grade kid whose mom said, "go stand in front of that fountain and smile like you mean it."
and then she ran across the street to take the picture.
...er, I mean, Hey Chris!

The Dangers of Adult Dating Services
Have you visited a website offering adult dating services? More often than not, these sites have really enticing advertisements. They boast of millions of members and post success stories and testimonials. But while adult dating can be fun and exciting, there are dangers that these internet sites do not include. Before you decide to engage their services, here are some things to note. More info about The Dangers of Adult Dating Services
Kickboxing is a group of martial arts and stand-up combat sports based on kicking and punching, historically developed from Karate, Muay Thai and Western boxing. Kickboxing is practiced for self-defense, general fitness, or as a contact sport.
Japanese kickboxing originates in the 1960s, with competitions held since the 1960s. American kickboxing originates in the 1970s. Japanese kickboxing developed into K-1 in 1993. Historically, kickboxing can be considered a hybrid martial art formed from the combination of elements of various traditional styles. This approach became increasingly popular since the 1970s, and since the 1990s, kickboxing has contributed to the emergence of mixed martial arts via further hybridization with ground fighting techniques from Jujutsu and Folk wrestling.
The term "kickboxing" can be used in a narrow and in a wide sense.
The narrow use is restricted to the styles that self-identify as kickboxing, i.e. Japanese kickboxing (with its spin-off styles or rules such as Shoot boxing and K-1), and American kickboxing.
