DailyDirt: Strawberries Are Technically Not Berries
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
- Japanese electronics company Sharp is working on growing strawberries in the Middle East, where it's difficult to grow them and expensive to import. The strawberries will be grown at a facility in Sharp's Middle East Free Zone Establishment in Dubai, in a controlled environment of optimal temperature, light, and humidity. These will all be precisely controlled using Sharp technology, such as LED lighting and "Plasmacluster" air-purification technology. [url]
- There are more than 600 varieties of strawberries in the world, but only 3 types: June-bearing, everbearing, and day-neutral. Some of the most popular varieties grown in the U.S. include Honeoye, Allstar, Chandler, Jewel, Seascape, Tristar, and Earliglow, which is considered to be one of the best tasting strawberry varieties out there. [url]
- A new wild strawberry species was recently discovered in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon. It grows at elevations of 3,000-5,000 feet. Unlike other local wild strawberries, which have only 8 sets of chromosomes, this new strawberry (Fragaria cascadensis) has 10 sets of chromosomes. [url]
- Japanese researchers have developed a $50,000 strawberry-picking robot that can pluck a strawberry every 8 seconds. The robot uses a 3D stereo camera system to determine which berries are ripe based on color, and when it finds a ripe one, it extends its arm, snips the stem, and then places the berry in the basket.

Tuesday, November 29, 2011 - Ivan and David
Ivan and David
Ivan Cakovsky brought his buddy David Slowik to casting. He told us that he and David were great friends and long time fuck buddies. They were very keen to show us what they do when they get together so we set this scene up for them. It starts with Ivan asleep on the couch, with his dick poking out of his underwear. He turns, in his sleep and we see a back view, with his ass in his underwear, with just a hint of crack showing. Then we see David standing and watching Ivan as he sleeps. David pulls his cock out of his jeans and starts to wank as he watches. Then he moves over to Ivan and starts to caress him. Ivan turns, onto his back, and his cock is hard now. David goes down and starts to lick Ivan's leg working up to his cock and takes it in his hand and sucks it. He runs his tongue over the hard cock and sucks it deep. Ivan wakes as he feels that mouth on his dick and he starts to moan with pleasure. That cock is rock hard in David's mouth. He pulls the slipys off Ivan and laps at his balls before moving up and kissing him. Ivan is very turned on and he removes David's jeans, to reveal that he is hard too, and starts sucking his cock. The guys are clearly into each other in a big way and move to a 69 with Ivan on top. He really sucks David hard and fast, with his own dick sliding down David's throat. Then he starts to fuck his cock into David's mouth. He wants more though and turns around so his ass is over David's face. David gets the message and his tongue rims that hot hole, then a finger goes in as well. Ivan is so horny now and he sits his ass on David's cock and really rides it, with his own cock rock hard as he feels his hole filled nice and deep. Ivan wants to flip, so he slides off David's dick and lifts his legs and shoves his own cock deep in ...

I've just returned from a great Raunchy shoot with Radko and Dima. Great shoot, but took awhile, and I'm beat. Weather turning colder. MikeSC said, good news and bad news, temperature for Austerlitz re-enactment will be in the 40s F. The bad news, there will be rain. Better than the blizzard last year, which made it impossible for us to get down there. We didn't dare venture down there because if there's a wreck on that Prague/Brno highway, we could have been stuck in the snowstorm for a very long time. This will be my fourth trip to the re-enactment. People say it's a great experience for once in your life, but only once. This time Pavel Nikos will drive us down. I'm really looking forward to the 'pageant' this year. Big bangs for the buck, only the cost of driving down.
Casting Couch
My pick for Casting is Kaja Kolomaz, Immediately after this casting, we shot an ambush solo with him, and then Broke Czech Guys. I believe he'll be a terrific bottom. I also like Daniel Malecky a lot.

Hartsville, S.C. – In their final regular season home game of the 2008 season, the Coker Lady Cobras basketball team took a hard loss to the Anderson University Trojans, 72-60. The loss drops the 10-16 overall, and 9-12 in the conference, leaving the Lady Cobras in 8th place in the Conference Carolinas standings, while Anderson improves to 13-12 overall, and 13-7 in the conference, moving them into 5th place in the conference.
The major difference in the game came in field goal percentage, as Coker shot just 30.3 percent, while Anderson shot 56 percent, while Anderson had 21 points from beyond the arc, compared to Coker's nine points.
Alexa Neal had a game high 30 points and 11 rebounds for the games only double-double, while Kirsten Peterson had 10 points, seven rebounds and five blocked shots for Anderson.

Coker and Anderson both return to the floor on Thursday, for their final games of the regular season as Coker travels to Erskine and Anderson hosts Pfeiffer. As it stands now, Coker will take the 8th seed in the conference tournament and host the 9th seed, while Anderson will be the fourth or fifth seed based on their finish Thursday.

Free Beer & Hot Wings: A Perfectly Acceptable Reason to Skip Showering Today [Video]
This guy was spending some time at a campsite and decided to hit the showers.
From the outside, it seems like a pretty nice place. Clean, well maintained, well lit.
What could the problem be?
At this campsite, you lug a bucket of water into the showers, pour it in a canvas bag that operates on a pulley system and then shower underneath it.
Seems simple enough, right?

Deborah Ellis is the author of the Breadwinner Trilogy. This is a very tense and emotional series about a family in Afghanistan before and after Taliban rule. In the first three books, you are introduced to Parvana and her family and are a witness to the harsh reality that is their lives.
This is a story as real as today's headlines. Just a few months ago, Malala Yousufzai, a 14 year old Pakistani girl, was shot by the Taliban for the crime of going to school!
Deborah Ellis is telling the further story of Parvana, in her latest book, My Name is Parvana.
If you have read the trilogy, you should read this follow-up, set five years later. Parvana is now 15 years old and living in post-Taliban Afghanistan.
If you haven't read the previous three books and you are interested in what life is like in Afghanistan, this is a great series. I loved them all. Here are the other three in the series:
The Breadwinner
Young Parvana lives with her family in one room of a bombed-out apartment building in Kabul, Afghanistan. Because Parvana's father has a foreign education, he is arrested by the Taliban. The family becomes increasingly desperate until Parvana conceives a plan.
Parvana's Journey
In this sequel to "The Breadwinner, " the Taliban still control Afghanistan, but Kabul is in ruins.
Mud City
This final book in the trilogy paints a devastating portrait of life in refugee camps and shows the resourcefulness of children who endure great suffering there.
Deborah Ellis has also written a non-fiction book called Kids of Kabul: Living Bravely Through a Never-ending War. Ellis went to Kabul and interviewed children who spoke about their lives since the fall of the Taliban in 2001. Have things changed for children and particularly for girls? Read this book and find out!

Houston man held in 2009 death of girl, 2
A Houston man has turned himself in in connection with the 2009 murder of his girlfriend's toddler daughter, officials said.
According to online law enforcement records, Barry Wayne Jones, 30, was arrested Friday on a charge of felony murder and was held on $50,000 bail.
He is accused of hitting the 2-year-old girl with his hand and a blunt object as well as banging her against a blunt object, the arrest warrant stated.
On Nov. 12, 2009, the girl was taken to Houston Northwest Medical Center in respiratory distress and was found to have swelling of the brain. She was transferred to Texas Children's Hospital, where an exam showed she had a healing fracture of the right wrist, a healed fracture of the right leg, rib fractures and compression trauma to the spine, the arrest warrant stated.
The little girl died Nov. 13, 2009 as a result of the brain injury, records stated.
Authorities said it took nearly four years to charge Jones because of the nature of the child's injuries, involving multiple reports by various physicians.
Interviewed by a Harris County sheriff's deputy at the hospital, Jones and his girlfriend, Chandre Davison, denied hurting the toddler and said they didn't know how she was injured, the warrant states.
A Child Protective Services worker said he visited the girl's home on Nov. 10, 2009 in response to a complaint and said she did not appear to be injured.
The caseworker also spoke to the child's pediatrician who allegedly said the girl had a medical condition that made it difficult for her to gain weight, CPS spokeswoman Estella Olguin said by email Friday.
The caseworker, who received a "personnel action" as a result of the case, resigned a few months after the girl's death, Olguin said.
After the child died, CPS took custody of two siblings, ages 5 and 3, as well as another sibling who was born in 2010. All three children are now living permanently with relatives, Olguin said.
At the time of the death, the girl's mother said the child was fine when she checked on her about 11 p.m. Nov. 12. About an hour later, Jones said the child was not breathing and he had heard her gasping for air, the warrant stated.
Jones also said Davison used to keep the child locked in the closet when she cried, according to the warrant.
An autopsy on the girl showed she had several acute skull fractures occurring within 48 hours of her death as well as healing fractures of her arms and legs that had happened in the previous three months.
The pathologist said the injuries to her brain would have required force and would not have resulted from a fall. He also noted the girl was "severely malnourished," weighing only 16.5 pounds at age 2, and had cigarette burns on her body, the warrant stated.
Davison also is charged with murder in the child's death but was not in custody Friday, according to online records.

Published November 20, 2014
It was a long day for the Houston Rockets and an even longer night for James Harden.
Kevin Durant scored 37 points, while Harden tallied 17 on just 3-of-16 shooting in his return to Oklahoma City, as the Thunder downed the Rockets, 120-98, on Wednesday.
"It felt good just to be competing against those guys and finally get this over with, to play here and get it over with," Harden said.
Serge Ibaka added 23 points for the Thunder, who have won six of their last seven games.
"Seeing him before the game and in chapel just in a different uniform is a little different. We've moved on past it, man. We're happy to see him, glad he's doing well out there in Houston but we wanted this win bad," Durant said of Harden.
Following Tuesday's home win against the Toronto Raptors, the Rockets flew to Minnesota for Wednesday's funeral for Alexandra "Sasha" McHale, the daughter of head coach Kevin McHale, before heading to Oklahoma City.
McHale's 23-year-old daughter passed away Saturday after a long battle with lupus, an auto-immune disease. She had been hospitalized with a related condition.
Harden, who did go 9-of-11 from the foul line, was in the middle of a heated exchange with Oklahoma City backup center Hasheem Thabeet in the second.
Thabeet and Harden traded words after Harden was blocked twice by Thabeet. Thabeet was tossed for bumping into referee Marc Davis, but the ejection was rescinded to a technical foul following instant replay.
The OKC faithful gave Thabeet a standing ovation when he returned to the Thunder bench and booed vehemently when Harden sunk the technical for his first point of the game at the 8:54 mark of the second quarter.
Harden ended the half with three points and misfired on his first nine shots -- 0-of-8 in the opening half. His layup early in the third finally gave him his first field goal.
After the Thunder were unable to work out an extension with Harden in October, they sent the reigning Sixth Man of the Year to the Rockets, along with Cole Aldrich, Daequan Cook and Lazar Hayward, for guards Kevin Martin and Jeremy Lamb, two first-round picks and a second-round selection.
"One minute, I was at dinner with my family. The next minute, I'm headed to Houston," Harden said. "It happened pretty quick."
Harden agreed to a maximum contract worth $80 million with the Rockets.
Patrick Patterson had 27 points for Houston, which has gone 4-5 during McHale's absence.
Cook's jumper and 3-pointer gave the Rockets a 19-14 lead, but the Thunder countered with an 22-6 run.
The Thunder, who led 27-25 after a quarter of play, netted the first nine points of the second as a pair of Durant free throws capped the surge and made it 36-25. The margin swelled to as many as 18 before the hosts took a 57-45 edge into the break.
Oklahoma City took an 86-74 advantage into the fourth and led by double digits throughout the final frame.
Game Notes
Ibaka was 11-of-13 from the floor ... Rockets starting forward Chandler Parsons missed the contest due to a shoulder injury ... Harden, the third overall pick of the 2009 draft, averaged 16.8 points and 3.7 assists in 62 contests with the Thunder a year ago.

Best Kids Parties: Bubble Splash Bash
Names: Nick & Gabby (11)
Location: Spokane, Washington
For my twins' 11th birthday party, we decided to throw a "Summer Bubble Splash Birthday Bash" ! We were inspired by Summer, Gabby's love of bubbles, and both kids' love of water and swimming.
We held the party at a local park and pool. We filled a wading pool with homemade bubble solution and had a large supply of bubble making gadgets on hand....some purchased, some we made ourselves. The kids loved creating all sizes and types of bubbles. Their favorite bubble tools were so simple to make. We cut the bottoms off empty water bottles and then slid a sock over them. The kids dipped the bottoms into bubble solution and then blue into the top of the water bottle, creating a flood of little bubbles. This idea was found on Pinterest.
Of course, we couldn't have a "splash" party without water balloons! We had a water balloon relay race where the kids ran to a finish line with a water balloon on a serving spoon and a race where teams of two balanced a water balloon between their backs. They also tossed water balloons high up in the air with their beach towels and eventually we had a huge water balloon fight.
They used squirt bottles to spray white crepe paper tails off each other (the last one with a tail won!). We also brought two huge beach balls and several smaller ones to the park so the kids could bounce and kick them around. The public pool provided them all with a chance to cool off, splash, jump, dive, and frolic in the water.
I decorated the picnic tables with plenty of water inspired blue and beachball shades of red, yellow, and blue. We provided lots of fruit, cheese, pretzels, popcorn, goldfish crackers, juice and water throughout the day. For a little treat, I made blue jello with red swedish fish dropped into each cup. For dinner, we grilled sausages and hotdogs and served them with macaroni salad, skewers of iceberg lettuce, carrots, cucumbers and tomatoes drizzled with dressing ( a fun way to get kids interested in salad!), potato chips, and lots of fruit. For dessert we had cupcakes and mini sundaes. I frosted half the cupcakes in blue and piped waves on them with sparkle gel frosting and the other half were frosted in white, sprinkled with graham cracker crumbs and topped with a piece of flat sour candy (for a towel), a gumball (for a beach ball), and a little paper umbrella. I found both cupcake ideas on Pinterest.
Each guest left with a goodie bag filled with a bottle of bubbles and various 'bubble' inspired candies (dubble bubble pieces, gumballs, a package of gum, etc) and little squirter rings. I printed tags for each goodie bag and attached the tags by punching holes through the tag and bag and then threading 3 water balloons through each hole. The kids all had a blast!
Thanks Michelle!

Demographic Area Profile - CAMEO Summary
Area: DY9 8TF
Area Type: Less Affluent Singles & Students In Urban Areas
Characterised by privately rented and mortgaged accommodation, these areas comprise smaller than average terraced properties and converted flats. Densely populated and found within cosmopolitan inner cities and areas on the outskirts of major towns, these are mainly young neighbourhoods comprising couples and singles. Many are students or those on the lower rungs of the career ladder, employed in a mix of professional, white collar and manual occupations. They are credit hungry and we start to see evidence of poor payment histories increasing their credit risk.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (May 5, 2012)—Betfair Hollywood Park had been the home of I'll Have Another, who won the 138th Kentucky Derby Saturday at Churchill Downs, before the talented son of Flower Alley made his way east a week ago.
In fact, I'll Have Another had five recorded works over Cushion Track between March 12-April 27 prior to his two biggest victories – the Santa Anita Derby April 7 and the Saturday score in America's most famous race.
A Kentucky bred out of the Arch mare Edith's Arch, I'll Have Another is owned by J. Paul Reddam, the sponsor of the Grade I CashCall Futurity, a race which has produced many Triple Crown winners during its illustrious history.
The CashCall is run annually during Betfair Hollywood Park's Autumn meet and has been won by the likes of A.P. Indy, Real Quiet, Point Given and Lookin At Lucky.
Doug O'Neill, the trainer of I'll Have Another for a career that spans six races, is no stranger to success at Betfair Hollywood Park. O'Neill, who will turn 44 May 24, has won 10 local training titles here, including a sweep of the Spring/Summer and Autumn meets in 2010.

The Bangor Symphony Orchestra on Thursday announced the appointment of a new executive director. Brian Hinrichs will move to Bangor from Madison, WI to take up the position vacated in October 2012 by David Whitehill.
Hinrichs is completing his MBA at the Bolz Center for Arts Administration, UW-Madison, where he has recently held graduate positions with the Madison Symphony Orchestra and Pro Arte Quartet. Prior to pursuing his MBA, Hinrichs spent three seasons working for Madison Opera, first as the manager of communications and community outreach and later as the director of marketing. Before his work in Madison, Hinrichs was the recipient of a Fulbright grant to research the emerging Western classical music scene in Thailand, and his article on orchestra life in Bangkok appeared in "Symphony" magazine.
"I am thrilled to be taking on the role of executive director at the Bangor Symphony Orchestra and look forward to building on the great work of former ED David Whitehill," said Hinrichs, in a press released issued Thursday. "With Maestro [Lucas] Richman, the musicians, board, and staff, I hope to continue the organization along a path of financial and artistic excellence while finding new and creative ways to engage the greater Bangor community."
BSO board president Joyce Clark-Sarnacki welcomed the speedy appointment of Hinrichs, just four months after Whitehill resigned, and said she is looking forward to working with Hinrichs.
"Brian comes to us with experience and accomplishments beyond his years, while still looking at the position with fresh perspective," said Joyce Clark-Sarnacki, the president of the Bangor Symphony's board of directors. "We're genuinely excited about his energy, knowledge, and passion and feel certain we have found a perfect fit, both for the BSO and the community."
The seven-member search committee was comprised of a BSO musician and several Board members, with input from music director and conductor Lucas Richman and director of development Sarah S. P. McCarthy.
"I am thrilled that Brian will be joining us at a time when the orchestra has many wonderful concerts and projects looming on the horizon," said Richman. "Brian's depth of understanding in this world of symphony orchestras will be of great value to the organization as we plan for the future."
The BSO's Masterworks season continues on March 3, with a 3 p.m. concert featuring "Vivaldi's Four Seasons." The Bangor Symphony Youth Orchestras (BSYO) will perform before this concert at 2 p.m.. The season will close with "Dvorak's Stabat Mater," on April 14. The Bangor Symphony's annual pops program will feature Steve Lippia in "Simply Sinatra" at 8 p.m. on March 23, co-presented with the Collins Center for the Arts.
The Bangor Symphony Youth Orchestras' (BSYO) spring concert, which is free and open to the public, is set for 4 p.m. Sunday, March 24 at Husson University's Gracie Theatre. Patrons are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items to donate to Good Shepherd Food-Bank. Tickets to Bangor Symphony Orchestra performances are available by calling the Collins Center of the Arts box office at 207-581-1755 or 1-800-622-TIXX or online at www.bangorsymphony.org.

Nice analysis! However Finland hasn't been visited since season 10.
Hmmm. I'm usually pretty good at guessing the types of countries we'll see.We just had three legs in South America, so we're not headed back there this season. If the Americas are done, it'll more likely be a single penultimate leg somewhere in Central America or the Caribbean. I'd hope for El Salvador, but I think Costa Rica is more likely.Central/Western Europe really needs a break - Austria and Germany have both had a full leg and a train transfer in the past three seasons, and in the past five we've also had the three central Scandinavian countries, the Netherlands, Belgium, Lichtenstein, Switzerland, Italy, France, and the UK. PIIGS is still unlikely, but it's possible they'll throw someone a bone and help out a struggling country's tourism industry. I'd still think we're more likely to get eastern Europe or the Balkans though. If we get PIIGS, it'll be two legs in Spain and Portugal. If we get eastern Europe, I'd go with Hungary again, or Slovenia and Slovakia. If we get the Balkans, it'll be Serbia. Outside chances for Bulgaria, Turkey, and Malta.Africa? Tanzania's the first country to get a third official visit, and only Morocco and South Africa even have two. South Africa's probably the more likely of the two to get a repeat visit, but if we get another new country I'd be looking at Cameroon or Angola. We do need to hit that whole central African region eventually.The Middle East is pretty much out of consideration thanks to the Arab Spring. Possibly Jordan, but I doubt it.We did India last season, we've done Bangladesh fairly recently, Pakistan's not happening any time soon, and Nepal's still unsafe. Sri Lanka is the closest we'll get to a central Asian country.In southeastern Asia, we just went to Indonesia and Thailand two seasons ago, and Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Singapore have also been done not that long ago. Of the six Vietnam is most likely, although I'd prefer Malaysia. The only new countries in the region would be Brunei (which doesn't allow foreign TV crews), Burma (which would be a nightmare from a security perspective), and Laos.Eastern Asia is where it gets a bit harder. As the producers seem to love the idea of showcasing the stereotypical "Oriental" countries, we've done at least one of Japan, China (including Hong Kong), and Taiwan in eleven of the past twelve seasons. Japan was last season and Taiwan was the season before, which means it's China's turn again if we want to make it twelve out of thirteen. Plus, Taiwan's too small to justify two visits in three seasons, and they wouldn't have done the Hiroshima trip if they'd been planning to return to Japan this season. If we don't, the southern part of South Korea is a distinct possibility.Oceania, Oceania, Oceania. I'm still holding out for the southern part of Australia (Melbourne!), but given the show's "Leg 1: Big city. Leg 2: OUTBACK ADVENTURE." usage of Australia in all four previous visits, it's not likely. If Australia turns up, I'd go with Adelaide and Alice Springs. It's certainly time for New Zealand again though, and preferably without Auckland for once. The Pacific islands are likely to be ignored again, but since there didn't seem to be a reason for the charter flights to Ngorongoro Crater last season (as they were able to drive to Mto Wa Mbu, which we know from TAR5 is within driving distance of the Kilimanjaro Airport), it's a very remote chance they might have done it to prepare us for more charter flights in future.With the finish line, we've done the southeastern US twice recently and California twice before that, so it should be somewhere in the north or centre of the country. I'd hope for New Orleans, but I'd bet on somewhere in the Midwest.In summary, I'd predict:1: Los Angeles to Portugal2: Portugal to Spain3: Spain to Hungary4: Hungary5: Hungary to Cameroon6: Cameroon7: Cameroon to South Africa8: South Africa to New Zealand9: New Zealand to Tonga10: Tonga to South Korea11: South Korea to Costa Rica12: Costa Rica to Minneapolis
It has been in TAR3. I think this race is an only three continents race too, for obvious reasons that have been said earlier. The only other continent that I could see visited, would be Australia or Northern Africa (not that that is a country but whatever). With that said, there are a few countries from Europe and Asia that have been visited in the past two seasons:DenmarkBelgiumIndonesiaThailandTaiwanGermanyItalyIndiaJapanAzerbaijanThen we have some countries that are not allowed to be visited:PhillipinesMexicoLebanonIsraelAnd some countries that have been visited quite recently and aren't a China or India (who are likely to be visited every 2/3 seasons):SwitzerlandAustriaNorwaySwedenLiechtensteinBangladeshOmanAnd then we have some countries that host a big sport event, which would cause lots of spoilers:UkrainePolandEngland (just England)Which would leave us with these European countries (in the event of a three continent race)Albania (scrapping, reason below)Andorra Armenia (I'm going to scrap this one, since Azerbaijan just has been visited)Belarus (scrapping, reason below)BosniaBulgariaCroatia (scrapping, reason below)CyprusCzech Republic (scrapping, reason below)Estonia (I'm going to scrap this one, since I think they would visit Latvia earlier)Finland (I'm going to scrap this one, since Finland is much prettier in the winter)FranceGeorgia (I'm going to scrap this one, since Azerbaijan just has been visitedGreeceHungaryIcelandIrelandKazakhstanLatviaLithuania (I'm going to scrap this one, since Latvia is more likely to be visited)LuxembourgMacedoniaMaltaMoldova (scrapping, reason below)MonacoMontenegro (scrapping, reason below)NetherlandsPortugalRomania (scrapping, reason below)RussiaSan Marino (I'm going to scrap this one)ScotlandSerbiaSlovakia (scrapping, reason below)SloveniaSpainTurkeyAnd these Asian countries, in the event of a three continent race:BahrainBhutanBrunei (Scrapping, no camera crews allowed)Cambodia (Scrapping, already had too legs, don't think there is that much more to see)ChinaJordanSouth KoreaKuwait (scrapping, reason below)Kyrgzystan (scrapping, reason below)LaosMalaysiaMaldivesMongolia (scrapping reason below)NepalQatarSingapore (Scrapping, already had too visits)Sri LankaTajikistan (scrapping, reason below)Turkmenistan (scrapping, reason below)UAEUzbekistanVietnam (scrapping, reason below)Of those countries; (1) I think these are not due for a revisit (have seen too much of the country already), or (2) I don't think TAR will visit them (cause of new country that isn't that popular)Albania (2)Belarus (2)Croatia (1)Czech Republic (1)Moldova (2)Montenegro (2)Romania (1)Slovakia (2)Kuwait (1)Kyrgyzystan (2)Mongolia (1)Tadzjistan (2)Turkmenistan (2)Vietnam (1)These are the countries, I think, can be visited. Now I'm going to make a race with the following guidelines:- At maximum three new countries- Not more than 5 countries per continent- Three countries with two legs- One leg in Carribean- One leg in Middle East- Two countries that have been visited quite a few times.- An Europe start (we haven't had it since TAR17)Leg 1: USA (Los Angeles) --> France (Paris/Versailles)Leg 2: France (French Riviera)Leg 3: France --> Spain (Madrid)Leg 4: Spain (Andulusia)Leg 5: Spain --> Ireland (Dublin)Leg 6: Ireland --> UAE (Abu Dhabi)Leg 7: UAE --> Kazakhstan (Astana)Leg 8: Kazakhstan --> China (Chengdu)Leg 9: China --> Laos (Vientiane)Leg 10: Laos (Luang Prabang)Leg 11: Laos --> Trinidad & Tobago (Port of Spain)Leg 12: Trinidad & Tobago --> USA (D.C.)This is my final prediction
I really hope they give Brunei a visit!
This is my own opinion.. I think those countries won't be visited. But feel free to give your opinion.

Among my stack of vacation books, which includes Knife of Dreams, the eleventh of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series (delightfully, it returns to the smaller print of the earlier books, so it's longer than the previous three), and 1776 by David McCullough, is Eurabia by Bat Ye'or, the French-speaking Jewish expert on dhimmitude. (See her book of that title.)
Her thesis in this most recent book that Europe has essentially entered the cultural "sphere of influence" of Islam, and been taken over by it, just as Asian and African countries were taken over by the colonial powers. She persuasively argues that jihad is a fundamental part of the Islamic framework; that it existed before the Crusades, and cannot be excused as a response to them; that it has shaped Islam's relationship to its borders ever since the beginning. According to Bat Ye'or (who is a meticulous scholar, and quotes several Islamic authorities, past and present, for each of her premises), the juridical philosophy of jihad allows for three possible conditions of a nation: 1) Those who are at war with Islam. This is the natural condition of all infidels. In Islamic thought, they must declare peace when it occurs, but war is assumed. 2) Those who have a truce, and can trade peacefully. Truces are only allowed when the Islamic forces do not have the ability to conquer the territory at this time, and wish to regroup, or if the other country is paying tribute. The truce can only last for ten years, and must be renewed after that. Any actions derogatory to Islam automatically break the truce. (This would be Europe in its current condition. Bin Laden specifically referred to a truce with Europe in some of his messages, and the broken truce can be seen in the recent cartoon furor.) 3) Nations which have surrendered, have accepted dhimmi status. They are protected from outright violence, but are subject to economic and social sanctions. This is where all the formerly Christians civilizations of the Middle East and North Africa have gone, and Europe is rapidly following.
Bat Ye'or traces the centrality of this vision of the world to Islamic thought, and shows how Europe has been gradually falling into submission to Islam for the past several decades. Moreover, Muslims see themselves under an obligation to fight evil. By definition, anyone not submitting to Mohammed and Allah is evil. Therefore they are morally obligated to fight – and not in the pietistic, self-improving manner so sweetly expounded to PC Americans – to fight infidels.
My own thoughts: The humanism and relativism of the West has made many pundits and thinkers incapable of recognizing the force of absolute moral conviction. True outrage at evil is so foreign to their thought processes that they cannot fathom the dedication which such a conviction produces in Muslims. Much as I hate it, I feel a kinship with Muslims in this area. I also believe that there is absolute evil in this society, and absolute evil in people refusing to worship the true God. I suppose one could say it's humility which makes the big difference here. I don't presume to be able to correct all this evil. I don't think that even with a whole lot of my friends, if I went around shooting and blowing things up, could I fix the problem. God is the only one who can redeem fallen man. No one comes to the Father unless the Father draws him; and whoever he has given to the Son will surely come to him, and by no means be lost. For people who profess belief in fate, and absolute predestination, Muslims seem to have little practical faith in God's providence.
I've only read the first two chapters so far; more to follow.

By DAVID GREEN
The day Larry Pieplow saw the real thing, he was moved to a different state of mind.
After five years and countless hours in his Seneca workshop, he created a half-scale model of the Mogul Junior, an International Harvester tractor that went into production in 1910.
He started with an engine and built everything around it, creating the design merely by looking at a photograph in a book.
But a few weeks ago he headed to the National Threshers Reunion north of Wauseon and saw a metal monster that stunned him.
There was the real thing, the full size Mogul 30-60, an authentic king-size version of Larry's Mogul Junior.
"I was on high all day long after seeing that thing," he said.
The owner of the 30-60 told Larry to bring his model next year, and he just might do that.
The Mogul wasn't Larry's first home-made tractor, but there was a problem with his earlier model. It seemed to show up everywhere. For his second attempt, he knew he wanted something that nobody else had. The Mogul was a good choice.
"I've never seen another home-built model like it," he said.
Larry grew up on a farm, worked the land with his father, and by necessity, learned how to fix tractors. He also spent most of his adult life working in a machine shop.
All of that experience came through in his workshop, because he had nothing but an old 6-hp engine and a photograph in an International Harvester history book.
Working with a cousin from Swanton, he first estimated the height of the man in the photo and built rear wheels to correspond. Everything else followed, and he has a sheath of drawings to show what it took to design the unit.
"I built everything from scratch," he said. "There was a lot of paperwork and a lot of trial and error. A lot times something wouldn't work and I'd have to stop and refigure.
"I'd come home from work, put some wood in the stove, and before you know it it would be 12 or 1 in the morning. A lot of midnight oil."
After he bought the engine at a gas engine show, Larry figures he's put about $2,100 into materials. Don't even try to figure out his time invested.
A work engine
Larry has another Fairbanks Morse engine from around the same age, maybe 1919, that he bought at a business on M-34.
"I remember when I was 15 years old I could have bought one just like it for $5, but I didn't have the money," he said.
These days, a restored engine will fetch a thousand dollars. They don't lose their value, he said.
The one he bought had been connected to a cider press and was frozen up. He freed the piston, cleaned it up and has it mounted on a cart he built—ready to run a saw mill or anything else a tractor might be hooked up to.
"Anything that will get you out of doing manual labor," he said. "Let the engine do the work."
The engines start up on gasoline, then can be switched to kerosene, alcohol or anything else that will burn rapidly.
They were good, reliable units, he said, and "so simple you wouldn't think they could run." But their weight put them at a disadvantage as new models were developed. The engine, alone, on his Mogul weighs in at half a ton.
"In their day and age, they were right up the line," he said. "I can imagine how my grandfather must have felt after walking behind a horse all day to see a big tractor drive into the field."
Larry thinks about creating a good companion piece to the Mogul—a half-scale threshing machine for his tractor to power.
"That would make a real showpiece," he said.
He also has an old Farmall M in the workshop that he would really like to restore. He's not saying what he paid for it, but he's heard they sold new for about $900 in the 1940s.
"I drove that thing to the ends of the Earth," he said, recalling hours of field work. "It's funny how you go back to what you had when you were a kid."
That's not all he has in the shop.
"I have three more engines, definitely good collector items," Larry said, and then adds, "A guy collects the darndest things."

Academy Award Winning 'The Godfather' Returns to Screens for Cinemark's Classic Series on Wednesday, April 10, 2013
Next Round of Cinemark's Classic Series Films to Feature 'RAGING BULL' and 'THE GRADUATE'
PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (NYS: CNK) , one of the world's largest motion picture exhibitors, is pleased to announce the final film in the Best Picture Classic Series. The 1972 Academy Award Winner for Best Motion Picture, THE GODFATHER, will play in over 120 Cinemark theatres across the country, including on the Cinemark XD - Extreme Digital Cinema screens where available. Ranked #2 on the 2007 American Film Institute's 100 Greatest Movies of All Time, the film is scheduled to play on Wednesday, April 10, 2013, at two separate show times, 2pm and 7pm.
"There is no greater iconic film than 'The Godfather,' states James Meredith, VP, Head of Marketing and Communications at Cinemark. "It has set the standard for story-telling, launched a generation of great actors, and provided movie-goers an unparalleled experience."
"The Godfather," Francis Ford Coppola's epic masterpiece features Marlon Brando in his Oscar©-winning role as the patriarch of the Corleone family. Director Coppola paints a chilling portrait of the Sicilian clan's rise and near fall from power in America, masterfully balancing the story between the Corleone's family life and the ugly crime business in which they are engaged. Based on Mario Puzo's best-selling novel and featuring career-making performances by Al Pacino, James Cann and Robert Duvall, this searing and brilliant film garnered eleven Academy Award® nominations, and won three including Best Picture in 1972. It is considered by many to be one of the greatest American films ever made. Cinemark will show the 40th Anniversary restoration version of the film, which is rated R by the MPAA.
Cinemark is also pleased to announce that the next set of Classic Series films will feature four diverse and groundbreaking films. All Classics will show at 2pm and 7pm on the following days:
April 24:
Raging Bull (1980)
May 1:
The Graduate (1967)
May 8:
Alien (1979)
May 15:
Blazing Saddles (1974)
"Four very distinctive directors are showcased in this round of classic films," Meredith adds. "From Martin Scorsese and Mike Nichols to Ridley Scott and Mel Brooks, you cannot find four other directors who bring unparalleled styles to both the visual and acting aspects of their movies."
Tickets for Cinemark's Classic Series, including a specially priced bundled package of $20 for all four movies, are now available at www.cinemark.com or at the participating theatre box office.

City homicide victim was from New York
BRIDGEPORT -- A New York City man was found shot to death near the Trumbull Gardens housing complex early Tuesday, laying just a few feet from his sport utility vehicle.
City police spokesman William Kaempffer said the 48-year-old man had multiple gunshot wounds when officers found him on Oakleaf Street about 1 a.m.
The homicide is Bridgeport's third this year.
Police responded to the scene after first receiving reports of shots fired in the area, and then, a report of a man down on Oakleaf Street, said Kaempffer.
The man's body was laying "in the middle of the street" just feet from his 2002 Land Rover Freelander, which was parked at the curb. Police have not established a firm motive in the case, Kaempffer said.
Police have tentatively identified the victim, but were not releasing his name until his family could be notified, Kaempffer said.
Anyone with information in the case is asked to call police at 203-581-5206.

According to a study by the World Health Organisation this year, 35% of women worldwide have experienced a form of violence. More than 64 million girls worldwide are child brides, and national violence studies show that up to 70 per cent of women have experienced physical and/or sexual violence in their lifetime from an intimate partner.
The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence was set up to raise awareness of the endemic nature of gender-based violence, to strengthen work against it, and to demonstrate the solidarity of women throughout the world organising to eliminate such violence. The dates November 25 - International Day Against Violence Against Women - and December 10 - International Human Rights Day - symbolically link violence against women and human rights to emphasize that such violence is a violation of human rights.
This year's theme 'Militarism – from peace in the home to peace in the world' - chosen for the second consecutive time - speaks to its continued relevance. The last 12 months have seen escalated violence and instability: political uprisings in North Africa and the Middle East; separatism, insurgency and intervention in Mali; the repression of civil society protest in Sudan; and devastating civil war in Syria, to name just some examples.

It is said that the victor gets to write history. But what if their history is all lies?
Last night I got wind of the sale of Current TV to al Jezeera. That alone should create a bit of consternation but it just keeps getting better and better- or worse and worse, depending on your point of view.
Al Jazeera on Wednesday announced a deal to take over Current TV, the low-rated cable channel that was founded by Al Gore, a former vice president, and his business partners seven years ago.
Al Jazeera did not disclose the purchase price, but people with direct knowledge of the deal pegged it at around $500 million, indicating a $100 million payout for Mr. Gore, who owned 20 percent of Current. Mr. Gore and his partners were eager to complete the deal by Dec. 31, lest it be subject to higher tax rates that took effect on Jan. 1, according to several people who insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
Al Gore, wants to avoid taxation like one of Mitt Romney's 1%. Who can blame him for that? I mean it's not like he is releasing his chakra into the atmosphere like a crazed sex poodle, creating GlowBull Wormening.
But this morning there was this:
"Before Al-Jazeera bought Current TV, TheBlaze looked into buying it but we were rejected by progressive owners."
"Glenn Beck's The Blaze approached Current about buying the channel last year, but was told that 'the legacy of who the network goes to is important to us and we are sensitive to networks not aligned with our point of view,' according to a person familiar with the negotiations."
I don't know if I would call that a tacit admission- it's more like a public pronouncement that anyone on the right 'need not apply'. Does this mean al Jezeera? is aligned with AlGore's point of view?
In the aftermath of Saddam's Iraq, CNN's Eason Jordan admitted to withholding the truth:
Knowing the personal stories I knew about the brutality of the regime, I had three options: 1. Never repeat such horror stories. 2. Tell the stories sooner and, as a result, see innocent people killed. 3. Tell the stories after the downfall of the Saddam Hussein regime. I chose option three and could never imagine doing anything else.
Withholding the truth by news organizations is nothing new. The Chicago Tribune refused twice my request to confirm that the U.S. Attorney Fitzgerald statement thanking them for holding the story for weeks meant they knew of the Blagojevich wiretaps before the '08 election.
But, now, instead of a Olbermann, or a Client Number 9 withholding the truth- their 'minders' will just buy the whole channel and make up the truth. It will be just like Air America, only different.
This is all reminiscent of the Dubai Ports deal that was torpedoed by Chuckie Schumer. Don't expect him to object to this deal tho.
Algore got out at the right time, it appears, as a cable provider has moved to eliminate the 'bundle'.
Intel is planning to deliver cable content to any device with an Internet connection. And instead of having to pay $80 a month for two hundred channels you don't want, you'll be able to subscribe to specific channels of your choosing.

The revised Gopher Tortoise Management Plan was approved on September 5, 2012. The revised plan takes the place of the original plan approved in 2007 (see below). Thank you to all stakeholders and members of the public for input and participation throughout this process.The gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) has been regulated in Florida since 1972 and has been fully protected since 1988. Despite the afforded protection, gopher tortoise populations throughout the state have declined. As a response to the continuing decline of the species, a new management plan was drafted and approved in September 2007 as a precursor to reclassifying the gopher tortoise from a "species of special concern" to a "threatened species." The threatened status was approved and went into effect on November 8, 2007.Following the first 5 years of implementation, FWC worked with stakeholders to revise and improve the original management plan. The revised plan was approved in September 2012.
The ultimate goal of the Gopher Tortoise Management Plan (September 2012) is to restore and maintain secure, viable populations of gopher tortoises throughout Florida so the species no longer warrants state listing. The plan establishes the measurable overarching objective that works towards decreasing the rate of population decline of the gopher tortoise because it is necessary to immediately decrease the rate of decline so that the ultimate conservation goal can be achieved (i.e., < 30% over 3 generations to evaluate the Threatened designation and potentially delist the species if it does not meet any of the criteria for listing outlined in 68A-27 F.A.C. ).
For this 10-year plan, the overarching objective of no net loss of gopher tortoises will be accomplished by meeting all of the following objectives:
To achieve these objectives, a cooperative program partnering with state, local, and private entities has been established across the state.
The original Gopher Tortoise Management Plan (2007) was approved in September 2007. It is provided here for reference purposes only.

Boiling water experiment sends S.D. woman to hospital
Danielle Albers, 33, of Sioux Falls, received second- and third-degree burns Monday when she slipped while tossing a pot of boiling water into the air outside her home. She was trying a popular experiment that demonstrates how water turns to a cloud.
Corrections and clarifications: An earlier version of this story misstated the nature of Danielle Albers' injuries. She suffered second- and third-degree burns.
Danielle and Chad Albers just wanted to entertain the kids.
With temperatures Monday at 10-degrees below zero and wind chills nearing 50-below throughout the Midwest, videos of T-shirts freezing in minutes, boiling water evaporating in the air and eggs freezing solid ran in a loop on television and online, and spread rapidly across social media.
Late that afternoon, the Albers decided to try a handful of the sub-zero experiments themselves.
"We thought it would be something fun for us to do before supper," Chad Albers said.
First, they filled balloons with food coloring and held them outside for just long enough to turn the liquid into little colored ice pellets to show to their children, ages 3 and 8.
Next, they filled a pot with about two cups of boiling water and set a bottle of children's bubbles by the door. They'd planned to throw the water up and watch it vaporize, then blow bubbles and watch them freeze in the air.
When Danielle Albers went outside and stood in front of her picture window, her children watched as she began to heave the water into the air.
"As I was throwing it, I slipped on the ice and the water went up," Danielle Albers said. "It went all over my neck and down my back."
She started rolling in the snow to soothe the sting, but when she came inside and started taking off her clothes, her family saw serious burns. Despite living just blocks from Sanford Hospital's emergency room, she couldn't drive herself.
"I couldn't drive," she said. "I was in too much pain."
Albers sustained second- and third-degree burns along her neck and back. Large, yellow blisters had bubbled up across her lower back.
The Albers weren't alone, either in testing the limits of the ultra-low temperatures or in being hurt in the process.
Los Angeles Times reporter Matt Pearce and BuzzFeed reporter Adrian Carrasquilla spent parts of Monday and Tuesday using Twitter to track down cases of burns sustained by throwing boiling water in the cold.
Pearce got curious about the boiling water trend when a friend from his native Missouri tweeted that the boiling water experiment was trending on the social media site.
"I hadn't even seen any of the videos at that point," Pearce said.
Pearce soon saw someone who claimed to have been burned and thought "well, this is interesting," he said.
By the end of the day, the reporter was able to find more than 50 people on Twitter who claimed to have burned themselves or posted photos of their injuries.
Pearce's post was noted by BuzzFeed and Slate.com, and stories about his discovery went viral, reaching thousands through social media
Brad Temeyer, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Sioux Falls, S.D., was one of them.
The culprit in most cases, Temeyer said, was wind, not ice. Based on the strong winds, the injuries didn't surprise him.
"Normally, when it's this cold, the wind isn't nearly this strong," Temeyer said.
Temeyer's colleague, Marc Chenard, threw a pot of boiling water into the air for an Argus Leader videographer on Monday. Temeyer and Chenard have each done the experiment several times.
The speed of the throw matters, Temeyer said. The huge discrepancy in temperature will cause the water to vaporize instantly, but the droplets must be small for that to happen.
"It all depends on how you throw it," he said. "If it goes up in one water mass, it will come down that way, too."
Danielle Albers says her advice is to avoid the practice altogether.
"Just don't do it," Albers said. "It's not worth it."
Temeyer says the temperatures won't reach low enough for the experiment to work for quite a while.
Temperatures will continue to rise through the weekend before falling slightly at the beginning of next week.
