The U.S.A. has basically been in a state of perplexity for a while, because we've relied too much on bankers, brokers, and right and left leaning bureaucrats. How is it in your country? We are still somewhat blessed, but technology hasn't rescued us from the huge problems that we've created. It used to be: "In God we trust" and during times of uncertainty like these, I say we simply remember our roots and return to Him who gives peace.. and that we do this on His terms as found in the Bible.

Ulcers in the lining of the stomach or small intestine
Home Care
Once you and your doctor find the cause, you will want to know
It is veryimportant to keep enough fluids in your body. Try drinking frequent, small amounts of
If you have morning sickness during pregnancy, ask your doctor about the many possible treatments.
The following may help treat motion sickness:
- Lying down
- Over-the-counter antihistamines (such as Dramamine)
- Scopolamine prescription skin patches (such as Transderm Scop) are useful for extended trips, such as an ocean voyage. Place the patch 4 - 12 hours before setting sail. Scopolamine is effective but may produce dry mouth, blurred vision, and some drowsiness. Scopolamine is for adults only. It should NOT be given to children.

Your health care provider will perform a physical examination, and will look for signs of dehydration.
Your health care provider will ask questions about your symptoms, such as:
- When did the vomiting begin? How long has it lasted? How often does it occur?
- Does it occur after you eat, or on an empty stomach?
- What other symptoms are present -- abdominal pain, fever, diarrhea,or headaches?
- Are you
vomiting blood?
- Are you vomiting anything that looks like coffee grounds?
- Are you vomiting undigested food?
- When was the last time you urinated?

- Have you been losing weight?
- Have you been traveling? Where?
- What medications do you take?
- Did other peoplewho ate at the sameplace as you have the same symptoms?
- Are you pregnant or could you be pregnant?
The diagnostic tests may be performed:
- Blood tests (such as
CBCwith differential, blood electrolytelevels, and liver function tests) Urinalysis X-rays of the abdomen
Depending on the cause and how much extra fluids you need, you may have to stay in the hospital or clinic for a period of time. You may need fluids given through your veins (intravenous or IV).

text: A Tireless Saint from Southern France St. Jean-Francois Regis was a Jesuit priest and saint who was born on Jan. 31, 1597, in Southern France. He entered the Society of Jesus at age 19, and was ordained a priest in 1630. John Francis Regis was a tireless worker who spent most of his life serving the marginalized. He walked from town to town, in rough mountainous areas where travel was difficult, especially in the winter. He would remain in a parish several days giving sermons that were simple, but sincere, and flowed from the heart. He heard confessions, celebrated Mass and catechized children. He also visited prisons and collected food and clothes for the poor. Regis is most famous for his work with at-risk women and orphans, for whom he established safe houses and found jobs. He helped many become trained lace makers, which provided them with a stable income, and an opportunity to maintain their humanity under the threat of exploitation. For this service he is known as the patron saint of lace makers. Regis passed away in 1640 while serving a mission and was declared a saint in 1738. Regis Societies were formed throughout France and focused on outreach to the poor and teaching in rural areas. Today, Regis' name lives on across the world. There is a St. Regis Lake, Mount St. Regis, Regis High School (Manhattan and Denver), St. Regis Hotels, St. Regis apartments, St. Regis swimming pools and Regis hairstylists.

The shoot will follow the order of "Meet, Shoot, Eat". The "eat" portion will be held at Applebees.
We are going to put together a little competition at this shoot, and the winner of it will get a little prize We are also going to hold a drawing for a prize as well, so even if you can't shoot, you still have a chance to win some great Calguns swag!
The meeting will be held in the lobby. This is where you will sign in. Once everyone is checked in I get the list to the range staff and you pay the range fee before entering the range. Once we are ready we will be given our lane assignments. Since all of the shooting is going to be afterhours and after the meeting, there will be NO WAIT! We will have a full two hours to shoot.

I am going to try having a place to eat settled before hand so that we can ensure proper accomodations are made for us. Applebees worked out nicely the two times we have eaten there and has a nice rexlaed atmosphere to it.
You will need 10 rounds and two mags (or speed loader) in a center fire pistol. Be prepared for multiple targets and a reload. Going to be at common self defence range, so no long shots this time. It will be timed, but you will have enough time to abide by the range's rule.

For anyone interested in coming out that missed the previous ones, please come on out, it is a very enjoyable time with other Calgunners.
Look forward to see you all there!
Please be sure to post that you are coming, any guest you are brining, and if you will be joining the competion and if you are joining us for dinner. This will allow us to make sure we have the right number of targets for the competition and lets me know that we have enough people to get our negociated rate of $20/person.

All In The Family...
Casper has climbed a few feet up some tree trunks before, but he outdid himself this morning. When we were ready to leave for church and wanted him to come inside, he was nowhere to be found. Then we heard his distressed little kitty voice high in the old maple tree.
Of course, we could have gone on to church and he probably would have scrambled and clutched his way down eventually. But instead, we spent the next 15 minutes, standing under the tree, trying to coax him down.
Finally, he inched down the slanted side of the trunk far enough that Isaac could reach him by standing on the step ladder. We put him in the house and zoomed to church. We were only five minutes late.
This seems to be a rite of passage with kittens -- they just have to climb to some place that they can't get down from. I remember that we had to get Skittles off the roof of the house when she was a kitten. Apparently, she jumped to it from a tree branch and then she didn't want to jump back. Kitty got onto the neighbor's roof somehow and had to be rescued.
Casper hasn't been on the roof yet, but it wouldn't surprise me to find him there. It's probably a good thing that we have caps on the chimneys.
This is Casper's third appearance in the Carnival of the Cats.

Promanent necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 14 diseños de 4 diseñadores freelance.
Kidato by Promanent
Promanent has developed a core e-learning test and quiz technology. This has until now only been used for the production of our own publications (software) and for products that we made in assignment for others.
We are about to launch our technology as a seperate set of Tools to be used by teachers, trainers, etc. to design and build their own tests and quizzes. Based on the same technology we are currently developing an online version of our software and tools so this can be used as an online webservice (ASP or software as a service).
Kidato is the name for our technology and the range of new products. Kidato Live will be the name for the online part of our products and services.
The core idea behind our software (+technology) is its simplicity and ease of use. Teachers are no software experts and they are also no (web) designers. Present e-learning systems are far to complex for what they need. Our idea is to offer a simple straight forward product and service that makes designing, building and publishing a quiz or test as simple as using Gmail or Powerpoint.
With now over 150.000 people who have used our software to pass one or more exams, we have proven that we know how to make user-friendly e-learning software. Our Kidato products and services now makes this technology readily available to anybody wishing to make and publish his/ her own test or quiz.
Users of our software
Schools, universities, training institutes
Anybody wishing to do something with questions, tests and quizzes
For us a new market
We need the basic design or webtemplate for our Kidato website that will be hosted on http://www.kidato.com. This will be the website for our Kidato line of products and services.
As a start for your work and to give you information to use in your design we have made a sample page at:
The design should be attractive, have a pleasant modern look, but should also be simple to implement and fast to load.
There is no style determined yet, only the Kidato logo and colours are given. You can download the logo in the original colours from this contest.
We favour a design that uses as many CSS and HTML style elements over a design that can only be achieved using many graphics. You have to comply with common webstandards (W3C).
Elements and graphics should be well documented and readily available. So for example if you choose to use some pictures or icons or other stock material, this should come from a library of material that offers other icons etc. and is also available for us when we want to extend the website.
The final website will be implemented using HTML, CSS and will run on classic ASP plus ASP.NET and thus is hosted on a Windows IIS platform.
You make the design, we will build the website.

Back in the 1870s this Long Island guy climbed into the chilly winds whipping 4,200-foot Slide Mountain deep in the Catskills looking for birds.
Back in the 1870s this Long Island guy climbed into the chilly winds whipping 4,200-foot Slide Mountain deep in the Catskills looking for birds.
He spots what looks like your average brown thrush with black spots on its throat. Others might have said so what.
But not Eugene Pintard Bicknell, who just happened to have laser keen eyesight and world class hearing. Plus, he was a very correct gent. Got things right, he did.
This was a new thrush species, which today is called Bicknell's thrush after him but it now belongs to us because it was discovered on our very own Slide Mountain.
Only this migratory bird's got a huge problem. And it's our bird so it's our problem.
It mostly spends its winter in Haiti and the Dominican Republic where trees are getting cut down right, left and sideways. Some big bird loving outfits are urging the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to declare this bird an endangered species. That might help pressure diplomats and officials to save some of those trees. Do something.
If it wasn't for this blueblood banker who loved birds and flowers no one may have every noticed this little bird (about 6� inches) before it simply disappeared and before we knew it was here.
I'll tell you how you can help. But first a word about Bicknell so you see what kind of guy he was.
Born at Riverdale-on-Hudson in 1859, he was descended from a knight who fought with William the Conqueror in England back in 1066.
In the day when naturalists bagged birds with guns to find out what they were, Bicknell "was one of the very few ornithologists of his time who habitually used the field glass more than the gun (to identify species)," said his obituary.
He was in the right place to find this bird. It bursts into song on ferociously high and windy places like Slide and Mount Washington, N.H. (winds there rip at 120 mph).
You say, why save one small brown thrush when there are several other kinds of small brown thrushes around, and even birdwatchers have a hard time spotting the difference?
Ask yourself what Bicknell would do.
Getting to that thrush meant roughing it — a porcupine crawled over Bicknell's face while he was sleeping on Slide Mountain in a rickety shack. Just so he could the catch the chorus of birds at dawn.
So here's what's happening to save Bicknell's thrush.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is mulling petitions by the Vermont-based Center for Biological Diversity and others to give our bird a fighting chance.
Its big enemy, says center biologist Mollie Matteson, is climate change that's killing evergreen forests it depends on to breed and raise families.
Remember, this is our bird. You let one of these go, then another flops and so on.
And there's the spirit of Bicknell to live up to. After all, says his obit, he kept diaries about natural conditions and wildlife about New York City before "the natural bird haunts had been destroyed by the grasping tentacles of civilization."
He wanted to get stuff down before it was gone.
If you want to help send a make-the-bird-endangered "do it" e-mail to the Fish and Wildlife Service dated Oct. 15 at www.regulations.gov.
This thrush already is listed as a bird of special concern in New York state. Canada has declared it endangered.

Trac Hacks
TracHacks is maintained by Alec Thomas.
SVN Access
If you want to allow others to write to your repository, send me a mail and I will arrange it.
If you have any issues with TracHacks, check the existing tickets, then create a ticket.
Thanks to Edgewall Software for creating Trac, the whole Trac team for continuing the development and particularly Christopher Lenz and Rede for helping variously with the testing, design, layout and testing of the site and repository.
- I've added automated generation of hack snapshots. These are available here at http://trac-hacks.swapoff.org/download/<hack>-r<rev>.zip. Same base without the revision is a link to the latest revision. These snapshots are generated once an hour.
- Installed GeneralLinkSyntaxPlugin and added trac:WikiStart, trac-ticket:1, google:"trac hacks" and trac-changeset:1 links.
- Upgraded to version 0.9b2
- In order to future proof TracHacks I have replaced all references to
trunkwith 0.9? and
stablewith 0.8?, in both Trac and SVN. This means that deep external references to SVN will no longer be correct.
- TracHacks is now using the mighty AccountManagerPlugin, courtesy of mgood.
- Check out the WikiStart, thanks to Muness.
This migration was not without issue, some of which I have documented in MacroMigrationTutorial.
- NewHack has not been migrated yet (it is a lot of work). This will be done over the next few days.
Bug report links in the hack pages don't work because of trac-ticket:1562.eg. AddCommentMacro bugs
(I've patched the Trac running on swapoff.org)
- Occasionally a non-existent empty page will appear to be tagged. I haven't tracked this down yet, but assume it is a bug in the TagIt macro.
If you notice any issues other than those mentioned above, please log a ticket.
Thanks again go to Muness Alrubaie for his excellent tag macro's and template modifications.
- Commits to the repository will now be automatically prefixed with the name of the hack being committed to.
- Added alpha and beta tags.
- Added ability to delete/replace attachments owned by you (the attachment list doesn't show up at the moment, but you can still reference them - I need to fix this).
- Added an unsupported tag.
- NewHack now lets you do everything except hack creation when unauthenticated.
- Sent mail to Trac mailing list announcing the existence of TracHacks.

I just got back from a mini vacation – I went to the 2012 World Pastry Championship in Las Vegas, N.V. It's been on my bucket list for over 10 years to watch the competition in person and I finally, finally was able to go. It's held every other year and when it's not the World Pastry Championship, it's the National Pastry Championship for the US teams.
But this year was the world competition and the teams competing were from Japan, Mexico, South Korea, Netherlands, China, and USA. This is the Olympics of the pastry world. And there certainly were some Olympian chefs there.
Check out the link so you can see what the competition is about – each team has 13 hours, spread over 2 days, to come up with a set of plated desserts to be judged on Day 1 then a sugar showpiece, a chocolate showpiece and petits gateaux for Day 2. And trust me, this is no easy feat. These chefs are amazing, every single one of them. I am no expert but during culinary school, I did enough sugar work and chocolate work to know how hard it is and the kind of skill you have to have to even make it to this competition. It takes years of experience and practice. Some teams practiced for the 13-hour competition with as many as 30 or more 13-hour practice runs of their own for a year and a half. Imagine that kind of dedication in addition to doing your day job.
Day 1 was mostly a lot of prep for Day 2 although they did complete the plated desserts in time for judging. It was fascinating to watch the chefs in action. No movements were wasted, it wasn't the flurry and drama you sometimes see on Food Network (ahem, "Chopped," "Cupcake Wars," etc); instead everything was streamlined efficiency. As soon as one task was done, they began another. They were also judged on how they worked and it was impressive to see sponge cakes being made (often the base for the plated desserts) swiftly, wrapped up, station cleaned, then pastry cream – make, wrap, put away, clean – then mousses and fillings. Each member of the team had their own jobs to do and they were focused.
There are various teams of judges and various elements of the competition being judged. Not just the finished products in terms of taste and appearance but also the way they did their work. The taste judging is done "blind" with each team getting assigned a number. The judges don't know which team's products they're judging and their backs are to the team kitchens when they sample the desserts.
Each team must produce:
The highlight of the competition is always the showpieces at the end. Each team has to create one showpiece made of sugar and one of chocolate. This year's theme was astrology and it was interesting to see how each team interpreted that for their showpieces. There are very strict rules in terms of the type of shapes they can use and what equipment is permissible or not. They also must transport their showpieces from their stations to the display table. Many a heart has been broken when a showpiece shatters.
My pictures do not do these showpieces any justice. They're much more impressive in person. The lighting was poor in some places and it was difficult to get a clean shot of the displays with so many people around. You can't exactly ask a judge blocking the display table to step aside during their judging so you could take a good picture. Bear in mind, each showpiece is made out of entirely chocolate or entirely sugar, nothing else, rendering them even more incredible.
South Korea was heartbreaking because in transporting their chocolate showpiece, half of it fell off. They could only put the other half out for judging. Then shortly after the judging began, the sugar showpiece toppled.
As a spectator, I could only get close enough to the teams on the ends to really see what they were working on. Team Japan was on one end but they had a large contingent of supporters so it was hard to get really close. Team USA had the most supporters because of the competition's home-country location so it was also hard to squeeze in on that end but I got lucky a couple of times and managed to get up close.
I saw their sugar rooster "come to life" before my eyes and it was nothing short of amazing. On Day 1, I could see all the elements being put together but since I didn't know what they were building, it was hard to picture it. But once it did all come together, literally before my eyes, it was beyond mind-boggling that what you see above is all made out of sugar. Sugar, water and some food coloring. Astonishing. Hats off to all the chefs in the competition.
I didn't stay for the awards dinner and I'm still waiting for the website to be updated but I believe I heard Team USA won! Based on showpieces alone, I would've gone with either Team Japan or Team USA so I'm glad one of my top 2 favorites took the championship.

Some of you may be familiar with my falcon Anakin. He has been my hunting companion for 10 years and is the impetus and the center of the story in my memoir LIFT. On May 2nd Anakin escaped from the chamber he was living in while on a breeding loan. He is a tiercel peregrine (Cassini/Anatum subspecies), 2003 hatch, band number RV084010, wearing anklets, but no other equipment. He was lost in Moreno Valley, CA but he could end up anywhere.
I need to know where he is in order to convince him to come down and come home. Currently there have been no sightings of him. This may be a long game. He is an excellent hunter and likely doing fine in the wild. So it could be months or even years before he turns up.
If you are interested in sharing there is a page on FaceBook with updates and information: www.facebook.com/JediAtLarge I would love anyone's help keeping an eye out for him.
Yesterday, Falcon Finders got word of a found falcon in Nuevo. The story was convoluted… something about a motorcyclist who was in an accident with a falcon on his bike. Possibly, he was dead and his falcon was found in a tree wearing a hood. When we all started calling, the contact person who initially found falcon got cold feet and didn't want to share any more information. She was adamant that they had already found the owner.
None of this story made much sense…but okay. I know falconers can be intimidating when we are demanding information about a bird. We've all had sketchy moments with people who have found our lost raptors. We can be a little pushy when we think someone with no experience has a bird of prey in their possession.
Still, I knew it wasn't Anakin. He wouldn't be wearing a hood and no one is going to just pick him up. My only chance at getting him back is for someone to spot him. Then I'll have to charm him into coming back. He isn't looking for someone to save him. So I dismissed the story as general weirdness and prepared to move on with my day.
At this point, I got a message through my parrot connections that the person who had the falcon wanted to find a safe place for it until the owner recovered from his injuries. It was nice that people thought of me as a safe and dependable place for a bird to land. I was flattered, but I was still dubious. Still, I listened to the story again and called the woman who had the bird.
She was a lovely and kind-hearted person who swore she knew a falcon when she saw one. Then she told me about how there was a falconer nearby who drove out into the chaparral with a falcon on his dirt bike to train it. The hooded falcon they had found was surely his and that could only mean that the falconer had befallen some sort of tragedy on his motorcycle. In fact, he could be dead! However, no one knew his name or where he lived exactly. He was a loner who kept to himself and a bit of an enigma. The falcon had the initials BH and a heart on its hood though… perhaps that would help solve the mystery.
Okay, I have to admit, I'm a sucker for a good story and this one was divine. It had a broken hero, romance, tragedy, and the possibility for a happy ending. I swooned…. I would take this man's falcon into my home, nurse it back to health and then I was going to Nancy Drew this. I would FIND this falconer and reunite him with his beloved bird. I hadn't found Anakin, but I could give someone else a happy ending!
And then reminded myself of Occam's razor –in the absence of certainty—the fewer assumptions that are made, the better. I was getting ahead of myself. I asked her to snap a photo and text it over.
This is what she sent:
I took a very deep breath, choked back my laughter and said, "Well, that's definitely not a falcon."
It's a pheasant wearing a blinder to keep it from picking at its cage mates. There are a couple of pheasant farms in Nuevo. I frequently purchase pheasants for food and training. And this pheasant had sealed its fate….
Fortunately for her, anything with a good story or a name gets pet status in house.
She's hardly a replacement for Anakin, but she comes with the best story I've heard in a long time. Let's name her, shall we? Got any ideas? The winner will receive their choice of a signed copy of The Perfectly Trained Parrot or Lift.

De Morgen, a daily paper published in Dutch in the city of Brussels, Belgium, devoted a place to Harun Yahya conferences in an article dated October 14th, 2011. The so-called article of the socialist paper with a circulation of 55.000 was published on the cover with the title "Darwin was a fraud".
In the article, it is told:
Man does not come from apes. Darwin is a fraud and the theory of evolution is a fallacy. Such thoughts are the main theme of a series of conferences organized in our country. Those who organized this are people from the Harun Yahya community known as Turkish Islamic Creationists.
In this article that emphasizes the panic in Darwinist circles, one part of what is written about the Harun Yahya conferences in Belgium was as follows:
The supporters of Harun Yahya who refute evolution organize conferences in the major cities of Belgium. The first conference was held at the hall of the Leuven Catholic University yesterday evening. At one corner of the hall there are animal and plant fossils inside showcases and their current pictures. Ali Sadun Engin explains, "Nothing has changed, look at the details. This is the strongest proof that the theory of evolution is not correct."
… Ali Sadun Engin will give a conference about "Darwinism: Fact or Fiction?" The first slide reads "Life was created", there are pictures of leopard, lion, a cute child, rabbits, the sea and other nature phenomena. The next slide reads, "Science is part of religion". And a number of verses from the Qur'an are shown to explain this. Moreover, Engins says this to prove that there are many religious scientists. For example, Einstein, Newton, Kepler, they all have a picture and a short biography on a slide. Ali Sadun Engin came here to tell Harun Yahya's views, which he represents.
Four years ago, thousands of universities, high schools in Europe, and in ours, were sent the Atlas of Creation… The author Adnan Oktar is known better as Harun Yahya. Rectors and assistant professors reacted in a surprised and tense manner… Some Muslims students in our country explained that they did not believe the theory of evolution during some television interviews. Then there was silence. But now Harun Yahya is back and there are six conferences planned in Belgium. His Europe tour brought him to Holland and France this year.
Harun Yahya… set up a TV channel that belongs to him a short while ago. This is important for Harun Yahya to reach European people. In our country, Turks only watch satellite channels. For example, this channel was introduced in Rotterdam, Holland with big posters on trams and busses.
… The Atlas of Creation is being displayed at the hall of the Leuven Catholic University. It weighs five kilos and these are only two volumes. Ali Sadun Engin proudly says, "There is a total of seven volumes." There are also other books on display with the Atlas; about Hitler and his genocide. Engin says: "Hitler was a Darwinist, and thus he applied genocide." There are also children's books, and books about nature in Dutch. Engin says, "Harun Yahya wrote more than 300 books."

SAN ANTONIO (AP) LeBron James is the 11th player in NBA history with 1,000 postseason assists.
James hit the milestone with his first assist of the NBA Finals, setting up Dwyane Wade for a score with 5:05 left in the first quarter in the Miami Heat's game against the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday night.
James is only the third player in NBA playoff history with at least 4,000 points and 1,000 assists, joining Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. He's also the second forward to reach the postseason assist milestone, with Larry Bird being the other.
Since James entered the league, no one has more postseason points, assists or steals than the four-time NBA MVP. Over that span, he also ranks second to the Spurs' Tim Duncan in postseason rebounds.

Hundreds of country lovers will be able to take part in a variety of cycling events as the Tour de France comes to the region with millions of pounds worth of improvements.
Communities are already benefiting from funding grants as they prepare for the global spectacle which hits the Peak District during Day Two of the race as it wends it way from York to nearby Sheffield on Sunday, July 6.
The Peak District National Park Authority told how an 18 mile route includes Holme Moss, Woodhead Pass and Langsett Ranger Centre while Government and council Tour-inspired funding are developing new cycle links.
A Peak District National Park Authority spokesman said: "The communities involved in the Tour route - including Bradfield, Penistone, Langsett and Holme - will go all out to involve local people and entertain visitors and the authority is helping with grant support."
The Department for Transport is pumping £5m into the authority's Pedal Peak District Project to strengthen cycle links with nearby cities and £2.5m more is coming from Derbyshire County Council and Sheffield and Barnsley councils.
Work on the cycle links started this year and by 2016 it is hoped The White Peak Loop connecting the High Peak and Monsal Trails will be complete as well as the Little Don Cycle-link, connecting Sheffield and Barnsley to the TransPennine Trail.
The Hope Valley link will provide a continuous cycle route along the Hope Valley from Hathersage to Castleton and there will be a Staffordshire Moorlands Cycle-link connecting Stoke-on-Trent to the Roaches and Waterhouses.
As part of the Pedal Peak District Project communities and businesses can also apply for grants of up to £10,000 for facilities, equipment and services for improvements as part of the cycling boom.
Improvements could include secure overnight cycle parking, bike locks at cafes, cycle racks, inner tube vending machines and bike pumps.
Bamford's community pub, the Angler's Rest, is using a grant for cycle racks and pumps and the Arkwright Society is creating a cycling hub at Cromford Mill.
Community groups like LeTourHolmfirth will be co-ordinating related Tour de France events including family cycle rides, a streetbikes community ride, cycle-cross for novices as well as cycling club and cycle-themed events during Holmfirth film and arts festivals.
LeTourHomfirth organiser David Cumming said: "The day of the race will be phenomenal but we want it to have a legacy that lasts into the future by getting more people out on bicycles and keeping fit and having fun."
Park Authority-backed events during the year also include the following: Free 100 Days to the Tour de France Festival, on March 27, at Rosliston Forestry Centre, hosted by South Derbyshire District Council (visit www.healthiersouthderbyshire.org); Tour de Frites ride, at Over Haddon, on July 3 (visit www.glorydays.org.uk); Electric Bike Demo Day, at Hassop Station ( visit www.monsaltrail.co.uk); And the Poynton Pedal family cycling event, on July 13 ( visit www.poyntontowncouncil.gov.uk); Mountain Bike Skill courses, Darley Dale (visit www.dolomitetraining.co.uk).

Traffic fine revenue is climbing higher, but police say compliance for drivers caught speeding through intersections is growing.
A Calgary Police Service quarterly report, which is to be presented to the city Wednesday, shows money generated through traffic fines is up. "As of the end of the year, fine revenue, including red-light camera and speed on green, was $1.3 million favourable," the police business plan report reads.
But the majority of drivers snapped by traffic cameras are getting the message, police say.
"We see the majority of traffic passing through those intersections are travelling at or below the posted speed limit," said Acting Staff Sgt. Doug McIlwraith.
"Statistically, we've seen a reduction in severity of collision rates, and we've seen a reduction in the fatality rate," McIlwraith said. "By far and away, the average speed for all vehicles going through these intersections is at or below the posted speed limit. That would suggest to us the intersection safety camera had an impact."
Less than one per cent of the vehicles going through any of these intersections are committing an offence that is being captured by a photograph, he said.
The fine revenue forecast for 2011 was $38.9 million.
"I think we have a larger city, we haven't added any cameras," said McIlwraith.
Calgary introduced speed-on-green cameras in 2009, with proponents backing them as a valuable safety initiative and critics branding them a cash cow.
Today, there are 51 intersections with speed-on-green cameras, red-light cameras or both.
Some of the worst for collisions are 16th Avenue and 10th St. N.W., Country Hills Boulevard and Bed-dington Trail N.W., Trans-Canada Highway and Canada Olympic Drive S.W., 14th Street and Northmount Drive N.W. and 9th Avenue and 11th Street S.W.
The money generated from fine revenue goes to capital projects within the police budget. It is never part of the operating budget.
"It's not a cash cow in any way, shape or form. These cameras don't go off if when you're one or two over the limit. They go off when you're excessively over the limit," said Ald. Shane Keating, who sits on the police commission.
While the funds are increasing, safety and school programs would benefit from a boost, Keating said.
But not at the expense of adding even more cameras around the city.
"They should be only at high traffic and possibly dangerous intersections as well," Keating said.

Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns announced that farmers and ranchers might elect to re-enroll or extend their Conservation Reserve Program contracts expiring in 2007 through 2010.
"Balance is the key to any good conservation plan. So we're offering farmers and ranchers re-enrollments and contract extensions to take full advantage of the environmental benefits of this program," said Johanns.
To determine eligibility for re-enrolling or extending CRP contracts, USDA's Farm Service Agency will use the Environmental Benefits Index that was in place when the contracts were first written. The EBI is a measuring system that assigns point scores to the contracts and then nationally ranks all CRP land enrollment offers.
Several environmental outcomes factor into EBI point scores such as improving wildlife habitat, water quality, and air quality and reducing soil erosion.
The EBI scores are based upon a 100 percentile that is divided into five ranking tiers. In the first tier, CRP producers ranking in the top 20 percent of the EBI can re-enroll their land in new contracts and farmers and ranchers with wetlands in this ranking can receive contract terms of 10 to 15 years.
CRP producers ranking within the second tier, between the 61-80 percent, can extend their contracts for five years. Farmers and ranchers ranking within the third tier, 41-60 percent, can extend their CRP contracts by four years. Those ranking in the fourth tier, between 21-40 percent, can receive three-year extensions. And those contracts ranking in the fifth tier of the 20 percent of CRP producers can extend their contracts by two years.
Environmental benefits As a result of this land conservation program, Johanns said, many widespread environmental benefits have evolved. Examples:
– Reductions in soil erosion are reaching more than 450 million tons per year, thereby increasing air quality due to less airborne contamination.
– Sediment and nutrient runoff into rivers and streams is improving.
– The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service estimates that CRP is increasing duck populations by more than 2 million per year. Ring-necked pheasant populations in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Ohio are rising by 200 percent.
– CRP is increasing grasshopper sparrow, lark bunting and eastern meadowlark populations. – The long-absent prairie chickens in Texas are reappearing.
– CRP is helping Columbian sharp-tailed grouse recover.
– New bird habitats in the Northern Great Plains are emerging.
– Western state populations of big game elk, mule deer, white-tailed deer and pronghorn antelope are increasing.
Next spring, FSA will write to CRP producers with contracts expiring Sept. 30, 2007, to discuss whether those contracts are eligible for re-enrollment or extension. Farmers and ranchers will confirm their contract interests at that point and a compliance check will be necessary.
Those 15-year contracts expiring Sept. 30, 2007, are not eligible for re-enrollment or extension. During the next several months FSA will update the CRP rental rates to better reflect local market rates for cropland on new contract re-enrollments and will review cropland enrollment limits on a county-by-county basis.
CRP is a voluntary program for agricultural producers, which help them protect environmentally sensitive land. Producers enrolling in CRP plant long-term, resource conservation covers with USDA providing rental payments and cost-share assistance.
A list of CRP acres by state with contracts expiring in 2007-2010 can be found at http://www.fsa.usda.gov/dafp/cepd/crp.htm. For more information on the CRP program, contact your local FSA office or visit the FSA Web site at http://www.fsa.usda.gov.

United Layers of Carrot Cake . . .
I don't know about you, but carrot cake sure seems like a distinctly American dessert to me. Despite the fact that carrots have for centuries been used in just about every conceivable culinary form, I want to believe that the modern carrot layer cake, blanketed in cream cheese frosting, stands tall as an American invention. Having moved beyond trendiness decades ago, the lofty treat has become a classic fixture on menus from coast to coast. A really good carrot cake is not something to be disregarded. A really good carrot cake is, on the contrary, something to be revered.
Famed Cake Love bakery owner Warren Brown, in his fun (and whimsically designed) cookbook, United Cakes of America, offers up a carrot cake recipe that I found pretty intriguing. One of its unique aspects involves mixing the shredded carrots with sugar and then letting them sit for a while to drain. I don't recall ever before seeing a carrot cake recipe that suggested doing that, but I don't think I'll ever make a carrot cake again that doesn't require this step.
It allows some of the excess juice to drain off while the carrots take on the sugar's sweetness. On top of that, the recipe calls for a relatively small amount of carrots--only 3/4 of a cup, which I also liked. Often, it seems to me, cakes featuring one particular ingredient (carrots, beets, bananas, etc.) tend to go overboard in its use. Not so in this case.
Though I made several small adjustments to Brown's recipe, rewriting it in the process, I tried to keep with the spirit of his formula. One ingredient that undoubtedly makes his cake special, and that I unfortunately did not have on hand, was dried, chopped pineapple; I decided to substitute moist raisins instead, knowing that my husband likes them. Also, Brown calls for 1/4 cup of whole wheat flour; instead of regular whole wheat I opted to use white whole wheat flour, which is somewhat lighter and fluffier. Brown's version calls for the use of no spices at all. Though I found that omission interesting, I decided to add in a modicum of cinnamon, a dab of ground ginger, and a scant pinch of allspice. I also reduced the amount of chopped nuts in the batter from 1 cup to 3/4 cup.
This cake also differs from the norm in that it's not as super-moist and heavy as most typical carrot cakes seem to be. It's not oil-saturated, if you know what I mean. It uses a combo of melted butter along with a little oil, and it produces a carrot cake that, texturally, won't necessarily weigh you down the way some of them are bound to do. It has nice chewy bits of carrot and coconut. It's just really good.
I also think it's a cake that tastes best after being frosted and spending at least a day in the fridge. Gives the flavors a nice chance to mingle before serving. (Oh, and before I forget . . . you won't need your mixer to make the cake batter, but you will need it for the frosting.)
Carrot Layer Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
(For a printable version of this recipe, click here!)
Wet ingredients:
3/4 cup shredded carrots (I grated mine small, using a hand grater, and used well cleaned but unpeeled organic carrots.)
3/4 cup granulated sugar (Brown recommends superfine sugar, so use that if you want to.)
1 and 1/2 sticks (6 oz.) unsalted butter, melted
3 Tbsp. vegetable oil (I used canola oil.)
5 large eggs, lightly beaten
Dry ingredients:
1 cup granulated sugar (Again, Brown suggests superfine sugar; use that if you like.)
1/2 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
2 cups all-purpose flour (I used unbleached.)
1/4 white whole wheat flour (Brown suggests regular whole wheat flour, but white whole wheat is lighter and has the same nutritional value.)
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt (I used 1 generous tsp. of kosher salt.)
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
1 scant pinch allspice
1 cup coconut, dried, unsweetened, and finely shredded (This "dessicated" coconut can be found in health food stores; look there if you can't find it in the grocery store. If you can't find this, you can still use sweetened coconut, but chop it finely before adding it to the batter.)
3/4 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped small
1 cup raisins (Use moist raisins to start with, or soak your raisins in warm water for about 15 minutes then drain them thoroughly before adding to the batter.)
For the cream cheese frosting:
16 oz. of cream cheese at room temperature (Definitely use a thick, rich brand like Philadelphia.)
3/4 of a stick (3 oz.) of unsalted butter, softened
2 tsp. vanilla extract
4 cups (about 16 oz.) confectioners' sugar
1 very scant pinch of fine-grain salt (Add this if you like. I think it helps cut the sweetness.)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease two 9" round baking pans. Line them with circles of parchment paper, and then lightly grease the parchment.
Mix the carrots and 3/4 cup of sugar in a medium size bowl and dump them into a sieve or colander. Set it over the bowl and let this drain while you prepare the rest of the batter. You'll end up discarding the drained juice.
In a medium size bowl, whisk together the melted butter, oil, and lightly beaten eggs.
In a large bowl, stir together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, all purpose flour, white whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, spices, coconut, and chopped nuts.
In a small bowl, stir together the raisins and carrots.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients (butter, oil, eggs). Stir well to combine. Toss in the raisin and carrot mixture, stirring just to blend evenly.
Divide the batter between the two prepared pans and smooth it out with an offset spatula or the back of a large spoon.
Bake for about 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the top comes out mostly clean. Don't overbake; the sides of the cake should just be starting to pull away from the sides of the pan. Cool the cakes in their pans, on a rack, to room almost temperature. Invert them onto racks and peel off the parchment paper. Let them finish cooling completely before assembling with frosting.
To make the frosting:
In the large bowl of your mixer, on medium speed, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add in the butter and vanilla until well combined. Gradually add in the confectioners' sugar on low speed, stopping to scrape as needed. If the frosting is extremely soft, chill it a bit before frosting the cake. Frost the layers when they're cool and, if you like, pat more chopped nuts onto the sides of the cake all around (you'll need about another cup of chopped nuts for this). Keep the finished cake in the fridge until shortly before serving.

I LOVE this! Carrot cake is hands down my favorite kind of cake!
- December 16, 2011 at 3:18 AM
Forgive me, Jane! I've been so busy these past few weeks with the Christmas crafts fairs that I didn't even get to read this blog post until just this minute!
One of my all-time favourite cakes has got to be carrot cake. Right up there with chocolate cake (double layered, of course), coconut cake, cheesecake, and Tunisian orange cake (I just discovered that last year at a cafe, and I've been addicted ever since). But I digress (it happens when I think about and talk about cake, LOL).
This is a brilliant variation on the classic carrot cake recipe. I really am curious and intrigued and motivated to not only get this cookbook (you have the best collection of cookbooks/baking books I've ever seen listed on any blog), but to try what the author suggests in his book, about mixing the shredded carrots in with the sugar and letting them sit there a spell to get all entangled, flavour-wise.
Thanks for sharing this one, Jane. And although I'm a bit late in reading and enjoying it, I can tell you it is well worth the wait. This is going to be (hopefully, when I follow the recipe and try your suggestions/substitutions) one gorgeous, moist, absolutely dee-lish and super-scrummy carrot cake!

Hey there
just made on 3/20/15 for a birthday dinner and again 3/23/15 for another birthday
Tremendous taste!!
Turned out to be a very dense cake (not gummy tho) the first time so I figured that I may have overbeaten it?
Anyway, I made it again and paid attention to that and noticed that it was a bit of a chore to get all of the flour mix incorporated (because it ate up all of the liquid pretty fast)and not mix too much. That one seemed a bit lighter, but dense too with all of the coconut, pineapple, nuts and carrots. So, should I have more loft or is it meant to be a substantial dense cake? And, it's not particularly moist.
- March 25, 2015 at 9:57 AM
Viola, I just rec'd a used copy of Warren's book from Amazon and found that his original recipe calls for 2 cups of shredded carrots, not the 3/4 cup mentioned in your revised recipe.
Might this account for the lack of moisture in my cake as mentioned above?
- March 26, 2015 at 1:29 PM
- Jane said...
Hi Judy,
Jane here. Yes, you are right, this is definitely a less moist carrot cake than many recipes. That seems to be what I was going for, at the time, when I altered this particular recipe. Most of the carrot cake recipes I'd tried before seemed so extremely heavy and moist to me, I think I was consciously trying to make something less wet. Perhaps adding in more carrots would indeed moisten it up. I appreciate your comments and feedback very much!

The Duke Blue Devils are atop the ACC standings as the only undefeated team after a key road win over the Clemson Tigers. "I'm really proud of our guys. We played a really good team tonight. Brad (Brownell) is such a good coach and those guys are veterans, said Duke Coach Mike Krzyzewski after his team earned a 73-66 win.
Krzyzewski continued, "Our guys came off a great win against Virginia and to come on the road and tough it out was a good win for us." With the victory Duke, now ranked 4th nationally in the polls, but as mentioned, being atop the conference standings is the immediate goal of this team as they continue to get better.
"Obviously, Andre (Dawkins) played an outstanding game. His three-point shot when we had a four-point lead was huge shot." said Krzyzewski. Dawkins scored a game high 24 points on a night when there were just two other double figure scorers for the Blue Devils. But Duke was the first team to have more than two double figure scorers versus the Clemson defense to date this season.
Dawkins missed his first few shots before finding his range and coaches always want a shooter to keep shooting and that's exactly what the junior did. Each three pointer he made ripped through the heart of the Clemson team and on this night he was indeed the main key to victory.
There were some statistical bright spots as well, "Miles Plumlee was a force for us with 14 rebounds. Down the stretch, our guys hit free throws and I thought we finished the game very well,: said Krzyzewski. His 14 boards, which is monster by any teams standard was done in just 23 minutes.
His brother Mason Plumlee, knocked down 4 of 4 free throws after struggling from the line in previous games, showing a new follow through from the stripe. Mason added 12 points and 7 rebounds as well and has proven himself one of the most, if not the most, consistent players on the team to date.
In fact the team was 15 of 18 from the free throw line and that was another huge key as was the Blue Devils ability to maintain a working lead after being down big early in the contest going on an 18-4 run of their own to take control of the game and quiet a hostile and packed Littlejohn Coliseum.
Coach Krzyzewski decided to go with his veterans down the stretch, which proved wise as the Tigers defense forced 17 turnovers. Duke will next face Wake Forest in Cameron Indoor Stadium on Thursday and then come back on Saturday to face a Florida State team that demolished North Carolina.
• Duke improved its all-time record against Clemson to 104-29. The Blue Devils have won four straight in the series and 26 of the last 28 meetings.
• Head coach Mike Krzyzewski improved to 50-11 against Clemson during his 32 years at Duke.
• For the fourth straight game, Duke held Clemson under 25.0 percent shooting from three-point range. The Tigers have shot just 20.0 percent (13-of-65) from behind the arc against Duke during those four meetings.
• Clemson is the sixth team Duke has faced this year that ranks among the top 40 defensive teams in the nation (by defensive scoring average). Duke has averaged 70.2 points in those six games, while each those teams combine to hold opponents to less than 60 points per game. Duke ranks 11th nationally in scoring offense with 81.9 points per game.
• Duke became only the fourth team all season to have more than two double-figure scorers against Clemson. Andre Dawkins (24 points), Mason Plumlee (12) Quinn Cook (10) all scored at least 10 points against the Tigers.
• The post duo of Miles and Mason Plumlee combined for 18 points and 21 rebounds while shooting 63.6 percent (7-of-11) from the floor. Miles and Mason combine to average 9.4 points and 7.8 rebounds per game this season.
• Duke trailed 18-9 at the 11:04 mark in the first half, but went on an 18-4 run over the next 6:50 to take a 27-22 lead. Duke outrebounded Clemson 10-7 and went 7-of-12 from the floor during that span.
• The Blue Devils carried that momentum into the second half, scoring on six of their first seven possessions as part of a 14-5 run. After overcoming an early 13-4 deficit and heading into halftime with a slim 32-28 lead, Duke led by as much as 13 points in the second half.
• Duke's eight three-pointers tied for the most allowed by Clemson in a game this season. The only other teams to hit eight treys against Clemson were Southern Illinois (Dec. 23) and Boston College (Jan. 12).
Player Notes:
Quinn Cook
• Scored in double figures for the fourth time this season and the second time in Duke's three ACC games. Cook went 4-of-6 from the floor and 2-of-3 from three-point range.
• Ignited a second half run by sinking a driving reverse layup in the first 15 seconds, knocking down a three-pointer less than two minutes later and assisting on an Andre Dawkins three-pointer that put Duke ahead 46-33. Cook scored five of Duke's first seven points in the second half as the Blue Devils opened that frame with a 14-5 run.
Seth Curry
• Made his 30th consecutive start and played a team-high 31 minutes. Duke is 25-5 during that 30-game start streak.
• Is now averaging 16.3 points per game in three career games Clemson (including one game during his freshman season at Liberty).
• Hit a three-pointer for the seventh straight game. Curry has hit a trey in 16 of Duke's 17 games this season.
• Went 4-for-4 from the free throw line, improving his percentage to .891 (49-of-55) for the third highest mark in the ACC.
Andre Dawkins
• Scored a game-high 24 points for his seventh double-figure scoring game of the season. Went 7-for-12 from the floor, 5-for-9 from three-point range and 5-for-6 from the free throw line for Duke's eighth 20-point game of the season.
• Dawkins scored Duke's final six points over the final 1:16. Duke led by a slim four-point margin at 65-61 before Dawkins hit his fifth three-pointer of the game to improve Duke's lead to 68-61. He then sank 3-of-4 free throws to hold off a late charge by the Tigers.
• Dawkins became just the second player to hit five three-pointers against Clemson this season. He is the first to shoot over 50 percent from three-point range against the Tigers (minimum five attempts).
Ryan Kelly
• Took his team-leading seventh charge of the season.
• Recorded a block and a steal in the same game for the team-leading ninth time this season. Kelly ranks third on the team in both blocks and steals.
Mason Plumlee
• Made his 38th consecutive start. Duke is 32-6 during that 38-game streak.
• Converted two three-point plays. Plumlee was fouled on a dunk both times and followed through by making the free throws.
• Threw down his 100th career dunk, becoming only the seventh player in school history to record 100 dunks. Plumlee has 31 dunks in 17 games this season.
• Put Duke ahead for good by converting a three-point play in the first half. With Duke trailing 20-18 at the 5:55 mark, Plumlee threw down a dunk, was fouled and sank the free throw to put Duke ahead 21-18. Duke did not trail for the remainder of the game.
• Had a perfect night from the free throw line, hitting all four attempts. It was Plumlee's first career game without a missed free throw on more than three attempts.
Miles Plumlee
• Hauled in a game-high 14 rebounds, giving him 10 or more rebounds in four games this year. The 14 rebounds were one shy of his career high.
• Recorded a block for the ninth straight game. Miles has 20 blocks during that streak for an average of 2.22 per game.
Austin Rivers
• Tied a season low by attempting just seven shots. Rivers went 2-of-7 from the floor to finish with a season-low four points.
Tyler Thornton
• Saw a streak of seven consecutive made three-pointers come to an end. Thornton had not missed a trey since Dec. 19 for a span of five straight games without a miss from beyond the arc. He is shooting .500 (12-of-24) from three-point range this season.

London: Manchester City's underwhelming Champions League campaign ended with a whimper as the Blues slumped to a lacklustre 1-0 defeat at Borussia Dortmund.
Julian Schieber's second-half finish from close range was enough to see off the visitors, with the German side enjoying the better of the scoring chances throughout the game.
The result means Roberto Mancini's side finish bottom of Group D without a win, while Dortmund go through to the knockout stage as group winners.
The hosts had a near-full squad to choose from, but Jurgen Klopp chose to leave stars Mario Gotze and Robert Lewandowski on the bench, with qualification already guaranteed, meaning Schieber started as lone striker.
Scott Sinclair earned a place in the starting line-up for City, with Yaya Toure suspended and David Silva, Gael Clichy and Aleksandr Kolarov all injured, with Matija Nastasic deputising at left-back and Edin Dzeko starting up front alongside Carlos Tevez.
It was a very quiet start to the game, with both sides exchanging lengthy – but non-threatening – periods of possession, and it took until the 12th minute for the first shot on target as Oliver Kirch drove straight at Joe Hart from 20 yards out.
The visitors eventually fashioned an opening of their own, as Dzeko slid the ball across the six-yard box looking for Tevez, but Marcel Schmelzer was able to snuff out the danger.
Dortmund were on top and perhaps should have scored when, first, Marco Reus cut into the area and blasted a left-footed effort towards Hart's near post, which the England international managed to tip on to the woodwork and behind, before Perisic curled an effort from range as the sides went into the break on level terms.
City nearly went in front straight after the restart when Dzeko met Samir Nasri's cross, heading straight at the goalkeeper when he looked odds-on to score.
Perisic then, again, forced a save from Hart, meeting Kirch's cross with a rasping volley from the left-hand side of the area, which the City goalkeeper had to palm over the bar before being called into action by denying Kevin Grosskreutz with an excellent one-handed stop low at his near post.
Just after Aguero was introduced by Mancini, the deadlock was finally broken in the 57th minute as the hosts took a deserved lead. Substitute Jakub Blazczykowski burst down the right and slid an excellent cross into the path of Schieber, who arrived at the far post to poke the ball into the net.
City switched to a back three with the introduction of Mario Balotelli and Pablo Zabaleta, as Tevez produced a fine piece skill to work space in the box and force a save from Weidenfeller.
The away side still struggled to force their presence on the game as Moritz Leitner had a superb chance to make it two after the impressive Blazczykowski pulled back, but the midfielder could only steer his effort wide.
Substitute Robert Lewandowski then forced a save from Hart after shooting from a tight angle, before Weidenfeller saved a left-footed Aguero strike at the other end as the hosts saw out the win and secured top spot.

A very good football team who usually play well in the regular season, but CHOKE when it comes to a Super Bowl.
Did you hear the Minnesota Vikings won the Division?
ya but wait till the playoffs
ya but wait till the playoffs
by kyweaver February 13, 2010
A team in the National Football League (NFL) whose idea of a successful season is not choking during the last 5 weeks and missing the playoffs. Unlike other teams, they know they will never win a Super Bowl and once they make the playoffs, that's pretty much it.
Here it is, the season's on the line. Two receivers left and right. McCown, takes the snap, he steps up, he's all by himself...FIRES INTO THE ENDZONE. CAAAUGHT!! TOUCHDOWN!!! NOOOO!!! NOOOO!!! THE CARDINALS HAVE KNOCKED THE MINNESOTA VIKINGS OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS!!!!
by Big Johnny D. January 23, 2006
The greatest nfl team ever. They should be making the superbowl every year but are being held back by their fuckwit coach Brad Childress.
Guy#1, "Who won in the nfl this weeekend?"

1. God-awful team that is destined to fail in every season and manages to screw up their chances of a superbowl spot. Lead by a fuckcheese known as brad childress. Don't know the meaning of the term "talent"!
2. can be used to describe how utterly shit something is.

will be one of the best teams in the NFC in '05 with their highly improved defense and all the ballers they already have like nate burleson
by TOB fo eva March 13, 2005
Vikings are justa good team that usually has alotta off the field problems but that should all change with Big Bad Brad Childress coaching now. Former Offensive Coordinator for the Eagles who has a no-nonsense attitude now after figuring out how bad character can fuck up a whol teams chemistry (T.O in Philly) So he booted Culpepper for talkin shit, KRob for driving drunk, and sat Dwight Smith down one game over one lil misdeamoner in a public stairwell. he has only been here since the July. Childress obviosly dont play, hes here to win games.
The Minnesota Vikings will win the NFC north division title within one of the following the NFL seasons. Bet Money.

Quintessence wrote:After defeating the Grand Master in Deadwind Pass, yes, the Eastern Kingdoms daily quests should unlock and become available for you.
Did you complete the Eastern Kingdom quest chain on an alliance or horde character? The EK quests are meant for alliance toons, so it might have bugged out if you completed the initial chain on horde. If you haven't already, try using an alliance character to do the EK quests/dailies.

I've defeated every trainer, and do the master trainers daily for a chance at Porcupette...no luck yet
My question is this: I get a daily quest from the Orgrimar trainer on my horde toon to defeat 5 trainers (Zunta, Dagra the Fierce,Analynn, Zonya the Sadist, and Merda Stronghoof) and this rewards a bag of pet supplies. However, on my Alliance toon, I do not get a similar quest for an extra chance at the bag of supplies. Any idea why I get the quest on one and not the other?

Anyone know what tamer I might have missed along the way? When I look at the list from the beginning of this thread, there are over 40 tamers listed, but I apparently have only defeated 39. I have no idea who to go after or who I missed.

WAR Council Leaders Speak at Orlando Conferenceby Kenny Farris '12 • February 4, 2010 Share:
Five Wabash students and one staff member traveled to Orlando Jan. 29-30 ready to share their peer education program with 33 colleges and universities from across the country. Sparked by new ideas about substance abuse education, the Wabash WAR Council returned from the APPLE Conference in Orlando, Florida, ready to act again at home.
The Wabash team, along with two other collegiate teams, presented what APPLE described as a "success report" of their first semester activities to a breakout session at the conference.
"We sparked some laughs," said Jacob Surface '11 at Tuesday's WAR Council meeting, "but we also got a lot of positive feedback from groups commenting on our work."
The University of Virginia sponsored the conference at the Hyatt Grand Cypress Resort in Orlando with funding from an NCAA grant. The conference worked to promote "understanding, evaluating, and enhancing of (a school's) environments to prevent alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use/abuse".
The conference featured Wabash's "success story" in the session "Student-Athletes as Peer Educators — The Strongest Link". Surface, Patrick Griffith '10, Billy Rosson '13, and athletic trainer Mark Colston shared the WAR Council's work from the previous semester. "Many people thought the Gatorade six-pack giveaway was a great idea," said Rosson.
The makeup of the Wabash team, which included NCAA athletes, athletic trainers, and non-NCAA athletes, differed strongly from the majority of other teams. Coinciding with the goal of the conference to "promote student-athlete health and wellness", most college and universities sent Student Athletic Advisory Committee members, athletic staff, and wellness counselors to improve policies, education, and drug testing in their athletic departments.
"We see ourselves as an example of responsible use of alcohol and other drugs for the whole campus, not just the athletic department," said Rosson.
The conference introduced the participants to a group of nationally influential speakers meant to educate attendees.
"Sports law attorney Janet Judge explained what can happen with pictures and other information on the Internet," said Rosson. "I didn't know many companies can simply Google your name and find all of the pictures on people have posted of you."
Other speakers included Virginia Commonwealth University's Linda Hancock, University of Virginia Athletic Director Craig Littleback, and former University of Nebraska Wide Receiver Aaron Davis.
"Linda Hancock gave a speech describing the social norms of alcohol use by using virtual clickers to gain instant, anonymous data," said Rosson. He found her data and other presentations useful in helping to realize how "a simple action can completely change the outcome of an individual dangerous situation or a large-scale problem."
The conference not only allowed students to share different ideas of successes and failures in substance abuse programs but also to develop new action plans. The Wabash group met four times during the three-day conference to develop a new action plan focusing on substance abuse education. "(The team meetings) taught me ways I didn't know previously of implementing (WAR Council) plans for future activities," Rosson said.

Formed by Dr Walter Biggar Blaikie (1847-1928) of the Edinburgh printing firm of T. & A. Constable, and presented by his daughters in 1928, this collection is devoted to the Stuart and Jacobite period, 1688-1746. Blaikie was a recognized authority on the history of Jacobitism, and his collection of 1,076 printed items in 756 volumes, 42 manuscripts, three charters and c. 400 engravings relate to the attempts of the House of Stuart to reinstate itself on the throne of Great Britain. There is a good representation of polemical pamphlet literature on the controversy over the birth of James IIýs son in 1689, and the associated political questions of allegiance and legitimacy; historical works on the course of the Risings of 1715 and 1745 are complemented by contemporary poems, satires and sermons, many in French; and there are accounts of the trials, executions and expropriations that followed both Risings with the Government viewpoint recorded in the numerous Session Papers and Acts of Parliament concerned with these matters. There are also 22 portfolios of engravings of the Royal House of Stuart - portraits, views, broadsides, and caricatures - which have been placed by the National Library on long-term deposit in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery. A small number of engravings have been retained in the Libraryýs collection.
Images of all Jacobite prints and broadsides from the Walter Blaikie Collection are available.
Shelf-Catalogue of the Blaikie Collection of Jacobite Pamphlets, Broadsides and Proclamations, Boston, 1964. The manuscripts are described and indexed in Vols.
