A dog who was rescued from an icy pond a week ago Friday is getting a new home.
The cream-colored poodle mix was seen by thousands of Coloradans on live TV — videoed from above from a helicopter as he flailed unsuccesfully until he was rescued by firefighters.
He ended up at the Denver Animal Shelter and when nobody came foward to claim him he was put up adoption.
A group of people showed up on Saturday, all hoping to take "Iceman" (as the shelter workers named him) home, so the shelter had a drawing.
His adoption was televised too. And 9News and Fox31 report the winner was named Monica. She gets to take him home on Tuesday.

Not exactly a book reviewFriday, May 30th, 2008
UPDATE #3: Bob Novak is not impressed by McClellan's version of events and doesn't think he wrote the book.
UPDATE #2: Here is more on how the Mclellan book came to be. George Soros' publisher was the only one interested. Hmmmm.
UPDATE: David Frum has a column about the McClellan book in Canada's national Post and I think his points are very well taken. Bush valued loyalty above everything else and got a dysfunctional administration. Frum seems to have no higher opinon of Condi Rice than I have.
This isn't exactly a book review but Bob Dole expresses his opinion of Scott McClellan in an e-mail. I always thought McClellan was a poor Press Secretary and frankly considered him another example of Bush's misplaced loyalty to Texas friends. One such example got Bush into a lot of trouble when he appointed his unqualified friend, Michael Brown, or "Brownie," as head of FEMA before hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. Now McClellan is selling what little integrity he might have and looking an ingrate.
Why would McClellan do something like this ? Maybe he's in love.
Plus, of course, he had help.
Why Democrats don't think there is a warFriday, May 30th, 2008

Protesting too much ?Thursday, May 29th, 2008
David Axelrod has a rather defensive interview on HuffPo today, which concerns Obama's seeming refusal to go to Iraq again. He also brings up the lobbying issue, which they have bashing McCain with.
"What does all his experience get us?" asked Obama's strategic guru. "What do all those visits [to Iraq] get us?" He continued: "The fact that he goes to Iraq and gets a tour apparently does little to provoke the kinds of questions that should be asked, and what Sen. Obama has been asking since the beginning. So it is not a question of longevity in government. It is a question of judgment, it is a question of a willingness to challenge policies that have failed. And he seems just dug in."
Well, it can give you some information. One would think a candidate for president would be interested in information although this candidate seems to prefer watching ESPN on TV. As far as changing policies is concerned, it was McCain who kept telling Bush to change his policies and, when they were changed, things improved. I suspect Obama does not wish to see this as it conflicts with his theme of withdrawal regardless of consequences.
On Iran, Axelrod says:
Axelrod also lambasted McCain for accusing Obama of being naive in his willingness to meet with world leaders both friend and foe. "I guess the question is, if you had a chance to make progress on some of these issues that go to the security of our country and the world, why would you say you would never be willing to? It is an odd thing to say. What Sen. Obama is saying in essence is that we need to use all the tools in our toolbox when we are working and fighting for our security, including for aggressive diplomacy, which has been shunned by the Bush administration to our detriment."
That, of course, ignores the issue of preconditions and preparation, which the Obama camp has been desperately spinning the past week. I don't think they are convincing anyone. I have predicted that Obama will be hurt by YouTube and I seem to be correct.
Axelrod has been exposed as a lobbyist in Chicago, which undercuts the theme of McCain and his lobbyist friends. And, of course, the Rezko trial proceeds. We may hear some more about that, too.
Politics and scienceThursday, May 29th, 2008
The first thought when you read this article in the Washington Post is that science education in the US is falling behind. Then you read it.
the expert panel of scientists, and audience members, agreed that the United States is losing stature because of a perceived high-level disdain for science. They cited U.S. officials and others questioning scientific evidence of climate change, the reluctance to federally fund stem cell research, and some U.S. officials casting doubt on evolution as examples that have damaged America's international standing.
This is all politics. Climate change is leftist-speak for global warming. The politicization of the science of climate is a leftist assault on scientific inquiry. Skeptics find their grant applications denied and their careers threatened. That is a problem created by the political left. Stem cell research is an ethical issue and President Bush is the first US President to agree to fund stem cell research. The fact that he imposed limits on FUNDING, not research, is what has these politicians upset. Thirdly, a small minority of "US Officials" make anything of the doubts about evolution. That is a religious issue and should not be in science classes. The religion of environmentalism is at least as intrusive in schools as schoolchildren are taught economic foolishness about such matters as recycling.
The whole article is about politics, not science.
Here is more about Freeman Dyson whose essay about global warming, I linked to the other day. The man is a giant and his thoughts are worth considering, especially as they agree with mine.
al Qeada and a loss of moraleTuesday, May 27th, 2008
UPDATE: Hugh Hewitt has an interview with Lawrence Wright from Friday with more on this subject.
The Democrats are convinced the war in Iraq is either lost or not worth winning. Obama says we are "not safer." The leaders of al Qeada may not agree with him and there are signs of dissension and even a loss of morale. This essay by Lawrence Wright, author of The Looming Tower and an expert on radical Islam, is well worth the time to read it.
The two principle characters in the essay are Zawahiri, Osama bin Laden's second in command, and another radical physician and spiritual guide of radical Islamists who calls himself "Dr Fadl." His premise was developed in the Afghan war against the Soviets.
In Peshawar, Fadl devoted himself to formalizing the rules of holy war. The jihadis needed a text that would school them in the proper way to fight battles whose real objective was not victory over the Soviets but martyrdom and eternal salvation. "The Essential Guide for Preparation" appeared in 1988, as the Afghan jihad was winding down. It quickly became one of the most important texts in the jihadis' training.
The "Guide" begins with the premise that jihad is the natural state of Islam. Muslims must always be in conflict with nonbelievers, Fadl asserts, resorting to peace only in moments of abject weakness. Because jihad is, above all, a religious exercise, there are divine rewards to be gained. He who gives money for jihad will be compensated in Heaven, but not as much as the person who acts. The greatest prize goes to the martyr.
Things may have changed.
Last May, a fax arrived at the London office of the Arabic newspaper Asharq Al Awsat from a shadowy figure in the radical Islamist movement who went by many names. Born Sayyid Imam al-Sharif, he was the former leader of the Egyptian terrorist group Al Jihad, and known to those in the underground mainly as Dr. Fadl. Twenty years ago, he wrote two of the most important books in modern Islamist discourse; Al Qaeda used them to indoctrinate recruits and justify killing. Now Fadl was announcing a new book, rejecting Al Qaeda's violence. "We are prohibited from committing aggression, even if the enemies of Islam do that," Fadl wrote in his fax, which was sent from Tora Prison, in Egypt. Fadl's fax confirmed rumors that imprisoned leaders of Al Jihad were part of a trend in which former terrorists renounced violence.
His defection posed a terrible threat to the radical Islamists, because he directly challenged their authority. "There is a form of obedience that is greater than the obedience accorded to any leader, namely, obedience to God and His Messenger," Fadl wrote, claiming that hundreds of Egyptian jihadists from various factions had endorsed his position.
What is going on ? Maybe the Iraq War, and the Afghanistan campaign are winning the war on Islamism. They did not expect the response they got from us. Also, the rejection al Qeada has suffered from the ordinary people in Iraq, who want peace and who are horrified at the tactics of the vicious boys recruited by Islamist leaders in Iraq, may have shaken their confidence. At least the confidence of those who are not complete sociopaths, like Zawahiri.
This may be a trend. His conclusions ?
It is, of course, unlikely that Al Qaeda will voluntarily follow the example of the Islamist Group and Zawahiri's own organization, Al Jihad, and revise its violent strategy. But it is clear that radical Islam is confronting a rebellion within its ranks, one that Zawahiri and the leaders of Al Qaeda are poorly equipped to respond to. Radical Islam began as a spiritual call to the Muslim world to unify and strengthen itself through holy warfare. For the dreamers who long to institute God's justice on earth, Fadl's revisions represent a substantial moral challenge. But for the young nihilists who are joining the Al Qaeda movement for their own reasons—revenge, boredom, or a desire for adventure—the quarrels of the philosophers will have little meaning.
Those of his interlocutors ?
"Dr. Fadl's revisions and Zawahiri's response show that the movement is disintegrating," Karam Zuhdy, the Islamic Group leader, told me one afternoon, in his modest apartment in Alexandria. He is a striking figure, fifty-six years old, with blond hair and black eyebrows. His daughter, who is four, wrapped herself around his leg as an old black-and-white Egyptian movie played silently on a television. Such movies provide a glimpse of a more tolerant and hopeful time, before Egypt took its dark turn into revolution and Islamist violence. I asked Zuhdy how his country might have been different if he and his colleagues had never chosen the bloody path. "It would have been a lot better now," he admitted. "Our opting for violence encouraged Al Jihad to emerge." He even suggested that, had the Islamists not murdered Sadat thirty years ago, there would be peace today between the Palestinians and the Israelis. He quoted the Prophet Muhammad: "Only what benefits people stays on the earth.""It's very easy to start violence," Zuhdy said. "Peace is much more difficult."
Condi Rice is not a good Sec StateTuesday, May 27th, 2008
A year ago, there was some activity about convincing Condaleeza Rice to run for President or VP. You don't hear much of that lately and this may be why. There has been considerable disappointment in the Bush foreign policy since 2004, with the exception of Iraq. We had hoped for support of Iranian dissident groups and pressure on North Korea, although the only country that matters to NK is China. Nothing has happened.
Stephen Hayes has a lengthy essay on the subject.
Christopher Hill, the assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific Affairs and the government's chief negotiator on North Korea's nuclear program, met privately in Beijing with Kim Gye Gwan, North Korea's deputy foreign minister. The meeting itself was a major concession. Although Hill's boss, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, had given him wide latitude for his negotiations she had not authorized a one-on-one meeting. The North Koreans had been pushing for bilateral negotiations with the United States since the beginning of the Bush administration. The president had repeatedly and categorically rejected any direct talks with the North Koreans.
This followed the 2006 test of a nuclear weapon by NK. Christopher Hill has been the subject of a fawning profile this week in the Washington Post.
"If you just let me go to Pyongyang, I'll get you a deal," the career Foreign Service officer said, prompting others to roll their eyes and move on.
In the twilight of the Bush presidency, the nuclear agreement that Hill has tirelessly pursued over the past three years has emerged as Bush's best hope for a lasting foreign policy success. In the process, Hill has become the public face of an extraordinary 180-degree policy shift on North Korea, from confrontation to accommodation.
If the Washington Post says this, you know Hill is in the wrong administration. Maybe he should be advising Obama.
Obama gaffe-of-the-dayTuesday, May 27th, 2008
UPDATE #2: Uh Oh. Great-uncle Charles was in the navy in WWII. How did they get to Buchenwald ? Up the Rhine ?
UPDATE: Somebody liberated Auschwitz, we just don't know who. I think it's a Tuzla moment but you won't hear as much about it as Hillary's embellishment.
I decided to include a new feature in the blog. Obama is a walking, talking gaffe machine. Here is one of the gaffes from yesterday.
Obama also spoke about his uncle, who was part of the American brigade that helped to liberate Auschwitz. He said the family legend is that, upon returning from war, his uncle spent six months in an attic. "Now obviously, something had really affected him deeply, but at that time there just weren't the kinds of facilities to help somebody work through that kind of pain,"
Auschwitz was liberated by the Red Army on January 25, 1945. The US Army was not yet across the Rhine having just fought the Battle of the Bulge in Belgium. Maybe Obama's uncle served in the Red Army.
Now that I think about it ….
Memorial DayMonday, May 26th, 2008
This is Memorial Day, or, as it was known when I was a child, Decoration Day. It was a day to decorate the graves of those who had died in the wars we have fought. It is not a day to carp about the president's GI Bill.
McCain and the president support a bill that links benefits to length of service and allows transfer of education benefits to family members, both requested by the military. The Democrat's bill, sponsored by Senator Jim Webb, who opposes anything Bush wants, would grant educational benefits to service members regardless of their length of service and would not allow transfer to family.
When I went to college on GI Bill benefits, they were based on length of service. The longer you served, the more quarters of GI Bill benefits you got. The Democrats' bill would discriminate against career military when we have an all-volunteer service. No surprise there. Nor is the New York Times dishonesty a surprise.
Let's just think about the day and what it means.
American history, Obama styleMonday, May 26th, 2008
UPDATE: Here is more on ACORN and their agenda, and more on Obama's association with it. We will learn a lot more about ACORN this fall. If we don't, we are in serios trouble.
Victor Davis Hanson points out a feature of Obama's speeches; they are about one narrow view of US history. The American system was not built by protesters and "community organizers."
When I was a boy, I saw movies about "Young Tom Edison" and Paul Erlich. There was a sense that business was not immoral. The Depression gave new energy to the criticisms of the "Muckrakers" of the early 20th century but movies like "The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit" showed the world of business to be dull but worthy of a man's time and energy. Now, we have dishonest movies like "Wall Street", produced by the weird Oliver Stone and starring the execrable Charlie Sheen, that declares all of American economic life to be corrupt and unworthy.
It is no surprise that we now have a presidential candidate who has the same attitude toward the American economy. His views mesh well with ACORN, the radical group for which he worked as an organizer. This history, by an obscure group but pretty well footnoted, will be the focus of intense interest this fall. This is the most leftist politician since FDR dropped Henry Wallace as Vice-President in 1944. Wallace would run for president against Harry Truman in 1948 with communist party assistance. He's back as Barack Obama 60 years later.
Arthur Schlessinger's essay on Henry Wallace in 2000 could have been written about Barack Obama. He called him "a Perplexing and Indomitably Naive Public Servant."

Continuing the discussion from What do you collect?:
Sure we can. But by the same token, if someone legitimately posts something related to the topic at hand, but you want to take the discussion in a different direction based on that post, you can always "reply as linked topic", because that's what the feature is there for.
The "reply as linked topic" option doesn't show up when you're posting from mobile, unless you're using the desktop interface.
Thanks - yeah I was and still am using this on mobile. Is it possible to add this to the mobile version?
Probably not. But all it is is a linked post, there's nothing stopping you from doing it manually if you don't mind a bit of copying and pasting.
Because I was looking for this earlier today: some Discourse updates have moved the "reply as linked topic" option. It's still here, just tucked away in the "chain" or share icon.
If you want to take a topic off on a different tangent, now what you have to do is click the chain on the post that's most relevant to what you were talking about, then hit "+ new topic".
Edit: this also works on mobile now, @Erwin.
I was looking for that the other day too and figured it went away with the updates. Nice to see it's still there

Also called follicular mucinosis, alopecia mucinosa is an inflammatory health condition affecting the sebaceous glands and hair follicles, causing hair loss. The hair loss is generally at the scalp, face and neck, but hair on other body parts could be affected too. When examined under microscope, the hair follicles have mucin around them. Mucin is made of hyaluronic acid and has a whitish goo or stringy clear appearance to it.
When the mucinous material settles in the sebaceous glands and hair follicles, it causes inflammation that eventually disrupts the follicles' ability to make hair.
Alopecia mucinosa could be of the following types:
- Primary acute disorder affecting kids and teenagers
Generally, this type entails a few lesions (reddish plaques or papules) on the neck, head and upper arm. The problem generally resolves within the two-month to two-year period. The condition is usually linked with pediatric cases.
- Primary chronic condition affecting people aged 40 years and above
Primary chronic condition entails a much wider lesion distribution, which could recur or persist indefinitely. There are no disorders associated with the condition.
- Secondary disorder, which is linked with malignant (cancerous) or benign (non-cancerous) skin disease
Secondary disorder generally affects people in the 40-70 years age group, who either have malignant disease or benign disease. The condition is synonymous with several widely spread lesions.
Alopecia mucinosa causes are not clear but immune-related problems are suspect. Injury to the hair follicles may also cause the condition.
Early alopecia mucinosa signs include raised follicular papules or spots, which appear as reddened patches or plaques. Consequentially, these affected follicles lose their hair-growing abilities. Hair grows once the patches clear up. However, in some cases, hair regrowth doesn't take place even if the follicular inflammation or redness subsides or is cured.
The hair may grow back once the condition is treated. This is usually when the hair loss condition is in its early stage. Some extremely severe cases may not witness any hair regrowth even post complete cure. In other words, even if the inflammation goes down, the follicles are already destructed enough during the advanced stages, making normal hair growth unfeasible.
A few treatments that have exhibited moderate success include systemic, intralesional and topical corticosteroids; oral antibiotics like minocycline; systemic and topical chemotherapy; topical bexarotene and UVA1 phototherapy. Scalp micropigmentation can help camouflage alopecia mucinosa.

Congressman Jeb Hensarling, a leading fiscal conservative and Chairman of the House Republican Conference, has been recognized by the National Taxpayers Union--the nation's oldest taxpayer watchdog group--as having one of the largest saving agendas in the House of Representatives for the 111th Congress.
Of the 435 Members in the House, only 163 had net spending agendas that would reduce the budget. Of those 163, Congressman Hensarling's spending agenda was rated the second highest for spending reduction with a proposed savings of over $300 billion. Congressman Hensarling has been rated among the top two budget reducers in every Congress he has served.
In addition, Congressman Hensarling's budget reform bill was named the third largest spending reduction bill in the 111th Congress. The bill, entitled the "Spending, Deficit and Debt Control Act" has been heralded as the "Gold Standard" of budget enforcement legislation by conservative groups including NTU, Americans for Tax Reform, Citizens Against Government Waste and Citizens for a Sound Economy.
Upon learning of his latest NTU rankings, Hensarling said "I am grateful to the National Taxpayers Union for the outstanding work they do analyzing legislation and rating the impact of bills on taxpayers. I am honored to have been named among the top budget reducers again this year."
"No nation can spend, borrow, and bailout its way to economic growth and job creation. At a time when we are borrowing 40 cents on every dollar, mostly from the Chinese, we need to take significant steps to ending Washington's culture of spending so that economic confidence can be restored and Americans can go back to work."
The National Taxpayers Union is a nonpartisan, nonprofit citizen group founded in 1969 to work for lower taxes, smaller government, and economic freedom. Member rankings are reached by averaging the net cost of all legislation they sponsored or co-sponsored in the 111th Congress.

Dog Refuses to Abandon Kittens as House Burns – VIDEO
No one must have told this little terrier-mix dog, Leo, that dogs and cats are supposed to be natural adversaries.
When a fire broke out in their Melbourne, Australia home, four family members and another dog escaped to safety. Little Leo stayed in the house in one of the bedrooms guarding a box containing four newborn kittens despite the heavy smoke and heat.
When firefighters found him, he had succumbed to the smoke but they managed to revive the little hero with heart massage and oxygen.
"Leo wouldn't leave the kittens and it nearly cost him his life," fire service Commander Ken Brown told reporters.
Leo and the kittens are all safe now. What a brave little hero dog! Way to go Leo!!

"In Seeing Things: How Your Imagination Shapes You and Your World, beloved theologian and teacher, Rev. James P.M. Walsh, S.J., shares with us the extraordinary resource of the imagination—how it animates our aspirations, our service, and a deeper connection to God and to one another."
—Dr. John J. DeGioia, President of Georgetown University
"Rev. Walsh considered imagination central to lived religion in the broadest sense, namely the vision of the prophet, the exegesis of the theologian, the teaching of the professor, the preaching of the pastor, and the experiences of the student, the seeker and the believer."
—Dr. David Goldfrank, Professor of History, Georgetown University
"This study is a fascinating presentation of how we imagine ourselves and the context of the world around us. Father Walsh's long-standing commitment to helping his students and colleagues understand both elevates the text to a unique level of contemplation."

The United States Supreme Court listened to a federal government challenge to Arizona's harsh immigration law.
The law has three major sections:
- Requiring police to check the legal status of anyone they believe might be here illegally
- Making it a crime to fail to register under a federal law
- Making it a crime for undocumented migrants to work
The federal government says federal law overrules state law when the federal government has enacted similar law. However, observers said some judges indicated Arizona might be allowed to continue to stop and check an individual's legal status. The judges' views on the other parts of the law were not clear.
Immigrant advocates say the court will eventually have to rule on the question of whether SB1070 discriminates of the basis of race and ethnic background.
The court is expected to rule on the case in June 2012.

Hailstones the size of tennis balls pelted parts of southeast Queensland over the weekend as severe thunderstorms sweep through the region.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
A line of hail storms battered the region during Saturday afternoon causing widespread damage in Brisbane, the Gold and hardest hit the Sunshine Coast.
The State Emergency Service (SES) responded to hundreds of calls for help on the Sunshine Coast with damage to homes, cars and buildings.
One person was taken to hospital with serious head injuries after he was struck by a large piece of hail.
Why was the hail so large
Meteorologist Sam Campbell from the Bureau of Meteorology says special conditions have to be present for large hail to form.
"Temperatures near the tops of thunderstorm clouds are very cold, dropping to around -50 to -60 degrees Celsius even during the summer months.
"Hailstones form in this very cold environment when super-cooled water droplets freeze onto ice crystals, then grow in size as they are held aloft by powerful updrafts of air within the storm.
"The hail falls to the ground when it moves outside the storm's updraft, or grows to a size that cannot be supported by the storm's updraft.
"Large hail (two centimetres or more in diameter) is more likely on days where there is particularly cold air aloft (typically during spring and early summer), powerful updrafts are present due to very unstable air, and long lived cells are occuring that allow the hail to spend longer in the hail growth zone and so keep growing in size.
"Large hail may consist of a many smaller ice pellets that have merged, or may be a single piece that has grown larger and larger as layers of super-cooled droplets have repeatedly frozen onto the same piece of hail," says Mr Campbell.
Damage bill for Queensland ...by ABC News
Meanwhile Queensland authorities say the damage bill from yesterday's hailstorms in the state's south-east will run into the millions of dollars.
Maroochydore bore the brunt with hail ranging in size from golf balls to tennis balls smashing roofs, windows, cars and windscreens.
Queensland Fire and Rescue officer Mark Kelly says the weather bureau correctly forecast dangerous storms with hail, but no-one expected the hail to be so big.
"A lot of the hail has broken roofing, skylights and subsequently houses had been flooded by the rain... there are a number of cars that would also be damaged," he said.
The insurance industry says it expects the damage bill will run into the millions and it could take weeks to process claims.
Authorities are urging residents living in hard-hit areas to assess the damage immediately.
Steve Waddell from SES Queensland says the Sunshine Coast storm was a freak event and the full extent of the damage will not be realised for days.
"Owners of houses will come home after the weekend and find their property has been damaged and there very well could be hundreds of jobs in a couple of days time and it is advisable for people to get on to their insurance companies," he said.
People seeking assistance from emergency services can contact the SES on 132 500.

Spain's press almost ran out of superlatives on Thursday to praise Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi after he scored a record five goals against Bayer Leverkusen, setting a Champions League record.
"Ave Messi" and "Hurricane Messi" the headlines glowed, after the Argentinian set a new benchmark for the competition during Barcelona's 7-1 demolition of the German team.
"The hand of God" headlined in unison three major sports papers Marca, Mundo Deportivo and Sport, borrowing the headline to describe Messi compatriot Maradona's controversial 1986 World Cup quarterfinals goal, scored with a handball.
"Starting out an article by saying that Messi is hard to explain seems unacceptable, but that is the closest to the truth," Marca apologised in its match report, which listed past records set by the 24-year-old.
Messi's record five goals in a match came after he matched the most number of goals in the Champions League last season, with 12.
Other players had scored five goals in a match in the past under the former European Cup, but no-one has managed the feat since 1993 under the current Champions League format.
"And yesterday he had a headache," noted the Catalan daily Mundo Deportivo.
"The doctor gave him a painkiller, perhaps it was a Bayer aspirin, and off he ran," it joked, recalling that Messi had complained of a headache before the clash.
Under the headline "Hurricane Messi" the leading daily El Pais said: "No-one demands more of himself than Messi, who transforms every match into a show, and takes criticism for the days he does not shine."
Marca noted that Messi was close to breaking yet another record, the 235 goals scored by club great Cesar Rodriguez : "Seven. Just seven goals separate 'The Flea' from the biggest scorer in Barca's history, Cesar Rodriguez.
"Messi is a machine who crushes everything in his path."
Meanwhile, Messi's teammates were also full of praise for the player, with Spain midfielder Xavi Hernandez saying the Argentinian had "no equal" in the game.
"Leo is peerless. You (journalists) naturally try to compare him to the greatest names but Messi is unique. He has no equal," Hernandez told a news conference in Barcelona, after being asked to compare him to Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo.
"No one makes a difference like him and no one gets involved as much as him. Even when he doesn't score, he makes decisive passes. He's a little marvel," he added.
Messi has scored 48 goals in all competitions this season, with Ronaldo on 38. In La Liga, however, the Portuguese is slightly ahead with 30 against Messi's 28.
Hernandez kept his cards close to his chest when asked about the possibility of a Real Madrid-Barca final in the Champions League.
"Real Madrid still have to qualify. There've been a few surprises already. Even Manchester United got knocked out. Talk of a Barca-Real final is therefore just one of a number of possibilities," he told reporters.

"Breast cancer care"
About: Broomfield Hospital / Oncology Broomfield Hospital Oncology Chelmsford CM1 7ET Ipswich Hospital / General surgery Ipswich Hospital General surgery IP4 5PD
Posted by Melek (as ),
My daughter was referred to Ipswich hospital in January 2016. She was diagnosed with a rare form of breast cancer at Broomfield hospital who were convinced the cancer had originated in her uterus, we were not. The consultant at Broomfield hospital told me that if the cancer was in the uterus they would not offer her any more treatment. To say I was devastated is an understatement. Anyway, now to the good bit....Ipswich hospital breast care team picked up the ball and ran with it, my daughter was seen by a wonderful Mr. Linder AND equally wonderful Miss Mortimer who offered her a hysterectomy and mastectomy and reconstruction under one anaesthetic, we were overjoyed. Both operations went very well and the care my daughter received was second to none. As we suspected her uterus was clear of cancer. I have nothing but praise for Ipswich hospital and it's staff. Thank you.

Steps in Writing a Term Paper
Terms papers are usually one of the final requirements that professors assigned to their students to be able to pass the course. It is usually a long and lengthy paper works and can be any topic that the professor assigned to the students. It requires extensive time to be able to finish it and requires research from different sources.
How do you write a term paper
Writing a term paper requires viewing a certain topic from the perspective of different authors and making your own ideas based on what you understand and believe in. It is usually written systematically and involved several steps for it to be a good one.The first step in doing a term paper is for you choose a topic that you research papers would love to write about. Sometimes, your professor gives a list of potential topic that you can choose from. It is better if you choose the topic that you think you know most and catch your interest. The second steps would be looking for different sources essential for your topic. Term paper help can be done by asking your friends and relatives if they have any background or ideas about the topic that you are writing about. You can also go to the library and search in encyclopedias, journal, publications or any other books.
Then it is followed by gathering notes. This is one of the most laborious parts of doing the term paper. You should get all those information and ideas that are relevant to your topic. One of the thing that you should not forget while collecting notes is to always write the sources of it. This is very important especially when you are writing the bibliography.
After getting the notes, you can now do the outline and write the first draft. Making an outline first will help you organize your thoughts for easy writing of the first draft. The first draft should contain all the notes that you gather and written in such a way that you won't get caught plagiarizing the work of others. After writing the first draft, you can now review and edit it by looking for a possible mistake in spelling or sentence patterns. If you have difficulty editing your own term paper, you can seek help those professionals who offerto edit for a certain amount of fee.

Wisbech Players celebrate their 60th anniversary this year with a production which commemorates the 100th anniversary of WWI.
Since the group was formed in 1954, when it performed its first play at the now disappeared Women's Institute Hall, it has entertained thousands of people in an around Wisbech with a varied selection of productions.
In recent times these have included favourites from the small screen such as Faulty Towers as well as classics like The Deep Blue Sea, which won the players a prestigious award in 2012.
The society held its AGM last week at Mendi's when chairman, Gordon Ringrose, reported a successful year in 2013, during which two productions took place at the Angles Theatre, which has been the group's venue for a number of years and of which the society is a stake holder.
The autumn production of Moliere's classic TARTUFFE has been nominated for best play in the appropriate National Operatic and Dramatic Association's regional awards - to be announced in April.
Ann Shippey was made a life member of the society in recognition of long committee service, from which she is retiring.
Mavis Russell presented the President's Cup to David Lewis for his contribution to the society in 2013.
The chairman also mentioned that an apology for absence had been received from Alec Ilett – who is a surviving founder member and presently in Lyncroft where he is reported to be doing as well as can be expected for his age – 94 this year.
Production plans for 2014 include the spring offering of Alan Ayckbourn's NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH.
Directing will be Linda Ekins and rehearsals are under way for performances from April 22 to 26.
The players will be performing R C Sheriff's JOURNEYS END in November to the 100th anniversary of WWI.

This is a really simple countdown timer that I use and love. If you find that you waste a lot of time doing other things instead of working on your important projects, use this tool. It will help you a great deal. You can set it to seconds, minutes or hours depending on your workload. But, I personally use 25-minute and 1 hour timers to track my work. When the time is up you will get two loud beeps to alert you.
I use this tool to transfer and store all of my documents, both transcripts and raw audio/video files. I've been using this tool for years and it hasn't disappointed me, not even once. I can also create sub-folders when I want to give out work to my outsourcers.
I use aweber to send you weekly email newsletters. It seems to be the best in the industry right now. Top professionals are using because they have amazing customer service. They charge a little higher but they take care of their client's needs really well.
I use Skype to communicate with my clients. There is a section about this in my "Transcribe in 7 Days" ecourse that I just released. When you enroll you will get to learn all about Skype. I give a lot of great tips on how to use skype more effectively to build rapport with your clients.
Without hostgator, this site would not be up and running. Transcriptionhubpros.com is hosted by this great company. They have the best services. One thing bloggers dread is getting an email that your site is down because of technical issues from the hosting company servers. I've never gotten such an email in the past two years I've been with them. And, I don't think I will be getting any soon.
I got my beautiful domain Transcriptionhubpros.com from Namecheap. As the name suggests, they are cheap domains but really good ones. You can get one for as little as $10 per year.
This is a great tool that you can use to record and edit audio/video files. If you get a file that has a lot of background noise, don't fret. Just download the latest version of audacity, upload your file and start removing the noise. It's as simple as that. The best part is it's totally free!
This is a new tool that I just came across the other day, but I saw its amazing features and I'll be opening an account with them soon. You need to track your money and get paid on time.
All the beautiful images you see in my posts were created using this tool. I am a really visual person and so I created the images myself. If you are looking for to create eye-catching pictures, use this site.
Buffer tool
Throughout last year, I was using Co-Schedule tool to schedule my social media posts but they've made some changes that didn't go so well with me. So, I've decided to switch over to Buffer. After checking out its features I've realized that it's more convenient for me.

This is a guest post by Maria Henson in the USA who recently revisited Savute Safari Lodge.You can follow her twitter at @MARIAHENSON
Savute Safari Lodge has special memories for me because it was my first lodge assignment as a volunteer for Desert & Delta Safaris when I took a sabbatical from my job in 2008.
Imagine how it was to find the words written with leaves and seeds on my bed's duvet in chalet No. 5: "Feel at home."
Did I ever. Within a few minutes a herd of elephants emerged from the bush, ambling toward the water hole outside my room. I counted 30, plus three kudu. Babies were among them. The occasional trumpeting sound filled the air. I could only count my blessings along with the jostling elephants as I watched from my deck.
Sweet memories of my welcoming committee at Savute. #ILoveDDS pic.twitter.com/cj9JMzZI8G
— Maria Henson (@MARIAHENSON) June 21, 2016
A waitress whose name means compassion told me she had been at the lodge 11 months and had never seen so many elephants arrive at once. "They are your welcoming committee," she said.
I've no doubt all of us guests felt that way.
We all had excellent game drives, with sightings of wildebeests, kudu, giraffes, ground hornbills, elephants, warthogs, impala and lilac-breasted rollers.
For me to have just one night in Savute was painfully brief, but I savored the chance to see guides and staff who were my friends and lodge managers Setch and Lucky. (Setch and I were still laughing at the mistakes this American made in talking on the radio and figuring out what strange-sounding vegetables I was supposed to set aside in the mornings for the chef. I had not encountered a pattypan or a baby marrow by name before those days.)
I also saw Score, the 66-year-old bar man who has shown quiet, personalised attention to guests for more than 16 years at Savute Safari Lodge. When I first met him in 2008,, he was preparing to go on time off. Where will you go? To the cattle post. My big faux pas occurred when I asked, "How many cattle do you have, Mr. Score?" To which he replied, firmly, "Mma Pula, you never ask a man how many cattle he has. It is like asking how much money is in his bank account."
On this day of my return, he greets me. "How long you stay, Mma Pula? Weeks? Four nights?"
He referred to me by the name I was gifted in 2008 by Botswana people who said I brought the blessing of plentiful rain. Pula, among several definitions, means rain here, precious and anticipated.
"Ah, Mr. Score, I am here only one night."
"No. No," he said. "You have broken my heart." He clutched his chest –- in authentic disappointment — before giving me a long hug.
I felt the same way, feeling the tears well up. Once you come under the spell of Savute and its people, you are forever linked to this place. You will always feel at home.

Thursday's exploration of Latin Flavors, American Kitchens, the theme of a three-day conference at the Culinary Institute of America's San Antonio campus included a few old friends seen in new light.
Chocolate and vanilla took center stage for side-by-side tastings of each ingredient as it grows in various regions.
These New World gifts to cuisine are not as simple as you might think. They're not even simple to Maricel E. Presilla, who wrote the once-authoritative "The New Taste of Chocolate." That book appeared in 2001 and has become obsolete in eight years, she announced.
That's because the world's view of chocolate has grown and shifted. Environmental forces, such as a fungal spread in Brazil, and political forces, including civil war in the Ivory Coast, have juggled the names of the top producers of this treat. More countries than ever, such as Vietnam, are growing cacao. New information on the health benefits of chocolate have occurred. New classifications of chocolate types have emerged as well.
All of these have forced the author and culinary historian to revamp her book for a forthcoming edition. Will it be called "The New, New Taste of Chocolate"? She didn't say.
She did lead a tasting that showed just how different chocolates from various regions of the world can be. Brazilian chocolate has what she calls a lingering citrus-y quality on the finish, while chocolate from the Dominican Republic packs a fruity punch. Ecuadorean chocolate has an almost jasmine aroma, while the flavor reminded me of vanilla-poached pear. Chocolate from Venezuela displays an almost dried fruit quality, while Peruvian chocolate has a high astringency.
There is also Mexican chocolate, which is different in the amount of sugar and cinnamon used. It has a grittier texture that some might not like, said CIA instructor Francisco Migoya, but it has its partisans, as most San Antonians already know.
Migoya demonstrated the lure of Meixcan chocolate in a side-by-side tasting of molded candies, one filled with Mexican chocolate ganache, the other with Peruvian chocolate. Both would be great on a sampler plate. (See recipes below.)
Norma Gaya's family has been in the vanilla business for five generations. The spokeswoman of Gaya Vanilla Plantation in Veracruz said that there were more than 100 types of vanilla in the world and that the fruit of the orchid tastes different from variety to variety.
She demonstrated this with a taste of Tahitian vanilla against Madagascar vanilla and Veracruz vanilla, the latter two of which are different expressions of the same type of bean. All different, with tastes ranging from a touch of cedar on the Veracruz version to the almost-cinnamon quality of the Tahitian vanilla.
But no matter the variety, the process of obtaining a vanilla bean is painstaking. The flower must be pollinated and that must occur on the one day the bloom is open. And it is done by hand at vanilla plantations like hers.
Vanilla is a like a woman, Gaya said: "She is very jealous. You have to visit her every day." And you have to be faithful to her, she added.
The future of dining
Are U.S. diners ready for Latin flavors on restaurant menus? And how do you sell them on flavors they've never tasted?
Those questions were supposed to be addressed in a panel titled "Menus 2010: The Business of Presenting Excellence in Latin Foods." The group of speakers strayed from the topic into a discussion of the future of restaurants as a whole, and few seemed to mind.
In the past 40 years, Mark Miller, one of the founders of the Southwestern movement, has seen a greater willingness on the part of people to try new foods, but those same people seem less interested in what they're eating, where it comes from or what culture produced it.
"We've lost our sense of sophistication and taste," he said. "One of things about ethnic foods is a certain complexity." And people don't want that any more. They want bold, fresh, simple food.
Even more than that, they want a connection with the person producing the food. That's why street food is exploding on the scene. It's why sushi gained popularity.
"People want real food," Miller said. "People want a connection with their food by the people who made it."
Norman Van Aken, the Miami-based chef and cookbook author, took that notion a step further. More and more people also want a connection with the food their eating by asking for more locally produced items, he said.
That's certainly what the Latin cuisines presented during the conference are all about, cooks creating memorable dishes using what's available around them. But how do you stay local and introduce new dishes that sometimes call for ingredients that must be transported? That angle never came up with the panel, but Van Aken said afterward that it is forcing him to rethink items on his menu. Avocados, citrus and seafood are plentiful around him, but asparagus is not. So, what can he use in the place of something like asparagus? He's doing his research to find out.
Robert Del Grande of Houston, whose famed Cafe Annie became RDG + Bar Annie earlier this year, said there has been a definite shift away from formal dining. He didn't care for the term "fine dining," because "I think street food can be fine." Regardless of what you call it, fewer people want to spend hours over a restaurant meal. Dishes that were once considered miracles by epicures are now too slow for most people, he said.
Van Aken agreed. Years ago, it would have been deemed a horror for anyone to use a cellphone in an upscale restaurant. Now, people are hauling out their laptops and blogging or text-messaging reviews of their meals as they are occurring.
To close out the panel and bring the topic back to Latin cuisine, moderator Greg Drescher of the CIA asked each of the panelists which region of Central or South America would offer the next "big thing" in dining.
Wilo Benet of Puerto Rico said he thought it would be whichever country or area had a signature dish that caught on. He cited the growing popularity of ceviche, which originated in Peru.
He would like his own country to make its mark, but he admitted that he's still trying to figure out which dish would have capture the market's fancy.
Van Aken favors Argentina, because of our attraction to beef. It's also appealing because the beef there is grass-fed, and there's a growing interest in that. Brazil is another possibility because of its mixture of flavors such as coconut milk and dendê oil; it's "where the flavor gods live," he said.
Del Grande seconded Benet's theory that a single dish that people can latch onto would signal the next big movement. He thinks it will depend on where people travel the most and what dishes they want to eat again once they return home. That could be Brazil because of the upcoming Olympics.
Miller agreed with Brazil for several reasons, including the economic status of the country. More than that, Brazilians love to cook with fruit and "Americans love fruit."
But don't rule out Mexico, Miller said. "Mexico seems to have finally found a confidence" to build on and expand its traditions, he said. Twenty years ago, Mexico was copying France; now it's ready to present its culinary treasures to the world on its own terms, he said.
Mexican Chocolate Ganache
8 ounces heavy cream
8 ounces Mexican chocolate, finely chopped (see note)
4 tablespoons butter, cut in pieces
In a small saucepan, bring cream to a boil. Pour half over the chocolate and stir. Add the other half and continue stirring until the chocolate has dissolved. Allow the mixture to cool to 86 degrees and then stir in the butter.
Note: You can make this recipe with chocolate of desired cocoa level.
You can use the ganache as a center of chocolate candies or top ice cream. Use it as a cake filling or cupcake frosting. Or, as one person exclaimed: Just give me a spoon.

ProjectAI at a glance
Projects are the driving force of the global economy. Over US$5 trillion is spent every year on capital and infrastructure projects around the world. And over two thirds of these will be over budget and behind schedule. ProjectAI seeks to disrupt this paradigm, and help the world make sense of projects, delivering better outcomes for companies, governments, individuals and society at large.
In the information age, project data is growing more abundant, but the capacity of project teams to manage and exploit it is not keeping pace with this expansion – and significant value remains out of reach.
ProjectAI provides a range of advisory and consulting services for project and portfolio management, systems integration and project reporting.
ProjectAI is also developing the most world's most advanced data integration and reporting / analytics platform for project and portfolio management - integrating classical project software while incorporating social, crowdsourcing, and other new sources of data - unlocking faster analysis through advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence capabilities.
The product / service offering applies across numerous industry sectors (oil & gas, resources, technology, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, infrastructure, commercial, IT, government, etc.). Scaling from small projects to mega-projects, ProjectAI will make the complex simple and revolutionize the way projects are managed.
To better understand the ProjectAI suite, we will walk through the key process areas, explore new data collection and integration methods, and discuss some of the potential of this exciting frontier.

Going Home (A short film on Dementia)
note: The is a short educational film. If you get a "Webpage not available" error message, please refresh the page.
"Alzheimer's is predicted to affect 1 in 85 people globally by 2050." Source.
Where are people today, who suffer from dementia, and what will become of them in the future?
My husband's father died with this disease years ago. The first nursing home was awful. My husband did not know this in the beginning. He took his father to the first nursing home, but was unable to tell the father that he was leaving. So, he lied and said he was going to the bathroom, and then he left his father there. A short time later, a transfer to another facility was arranged. The lie about the bathroom that was in reality a walk out the door haunts my husband to this day. It felt like a betrayal and an abandonment.
Just five years or so prior to the First Nursing Home, the two of them played golf together. The father hit a shot. But then, he could not locate the ball. He did not know where to look. This was the beginning. Much like the rice cooker in the film above- little things. The 'little things' phase annoyed the family at first, much like what you see in the film.
How on earth do you tell someone that you are leaving them in a place, and keep from falling apart with grief? How do you even know that this is happening, in the beginning?

SWEET, sweet, sweet! The stripes make these above and beyond.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
SWEET, sweet, sweet! The stripes make these above and beyond.
Quilter 68 who is now 69/and now 70
Both are lovely but I really like the table topper
very nice. I love pine comb fabric.
Very unusal! But great ! Thanks for sharing photo
I'll bet if we were given the width of the strips and the size of the center squares, we could figure it out. It is essentially a french braid in the center four pieces and a log cabin diamond on the ends. Would that infringe on the copywrite? I'm always facinated by using stripes. It's the placement of the stripes that makes this so interesting.
This is so great. Love it.
what an unusual pattern! can you share the pattern?
A rolling stone gathers no moss
This is so pretty. I love to make valances for my windows for vaious holidays. It makes the house so cheery and these are great! I love the pattern.

text: Lately things have been confrontational between me and Hubby. He's stressed because of his uncertain job situation, I know, and because Miss KT is a pain in the patootie, and he's back to being controlling, being "in charge," there's nearly constant conflict, and I don't even want to talk to him. When he's in "controlling" mode, he won't answer questions, just tells me "don't worry about it" or "it's taken care of." Trouble is, history has shown me this is not always the case. I also don't like being pushed aside, so I get angry. I also get angry when he says he'll do something and doesn't get to it. Since this "something" I've asked for help is something I can't do, I again feel pushed aside, and get angry. He keeps saying we need to use teamwork, but that'sonly when he wants to be part of a team. Otherwise, I'm just supposed to accept whatever. When we changed computers, I was told not to worry, because everything had been saved. OK, now I'm out of the business cards I need for substituting. Where were they saved? The old computer. I have no idea how to find it, so I ask. Five weeks ago. Still no cards. He comes to bed Friday night, leaving the Christmas tree lights on. I ask. "Don't worry about it." But yesterday was the worst of all. I tried to talk to him on the way to church. Mistake. After church, we went to Target to get cat litter. He wanted the stuff in the plastic bin, which costs a whole lot more. Since I'm supposed to be in charge of finances, I pointed out that it was silly to pay $12 for 35 pounds when we could get 50 pounds for $10. He told me the other was easier for daily scooping, but it doesn't get scooped daily...we both know this. On the way to the register, he starts up again with ease of use. I pushed the cart at him, told him to get what he wanted, and headed for the door. He headed for the car, I began walking in the direction of home. Once he caught up to me, we had a screaming fight in the parking lot, and nothing got resolved. If this was something new, I could understand it better, but I feel like he sees me as insignificant, my opinions as insignificant, that he's the man, the breadwinner, and has to be in charge, and since I only work part-time, that I don't count. I don't even know what to do anymore, since it seems whatever I do isn't right. He says it's just because I'm in "manager mode," but somebody has to be, or nothing gets done at all. This is an issue we've been dealing with off and on for ten years, it's just getting much much worse these days.

Do babysitters have more kids? The effects of teenage work experiences on adult outcomes
If the type of work undertaken while young affects either development of human capital or preferences, then early work experiences may have measurable effects on later life outcomes. This paper examines whether or not having a job as a teenager, and whether or not it is a childoriented job, causes differences in labor market behavior among young adults. While the effects we find are complex and sometimes hard to interpret, they suggest that work in 10th grade has a positive causal effect on later labor market outcomes and delays family formation, but to a lesser extent when jobs were child-oriented.

Schlotter: Tamm's Sawn Lake Project an 'Attractive Valuation'
Ernest C. Schlotter, a senior analyst with SISM Research and a StarMine four star analyst, has released a Research Note on Tamm Oil & Gas dated March 28, 2008, stating the company's Sawn Lake Project "holds 3P recoverable reserves and up to 175 million barrels of oil."
The following is a summary of the full SISM report which includes important disclosures, disclaimers and analyst qualifications.
Investors are advised to read disclosures carefully before trading in the equities of any enrolled company. (Due to its length, the URL above may need to be copied/pasted into your Internet browser's address field. Remove any extra spaces if they exist.)
Analyst Schlotter stated: "Pan Orient's Sawn Lake Project was recently valued by DeGolyer and MacNaughton, and based on 27.1 net sections, was calculated to hold net probable reserves of 72.9 million barrels and a net reserves PV10 value of $405 million. Tamm has 31.5 net sections in the same area, which can be valued at a net present value of $470.8 million, discounted at ten percent, based on DeGolyer and MacNaughton's forecasted pricing. In February of 2004, Ryder Scott estimated that the Sawn Lake Project contained 819 million barrels of OOIP, while log analyses indicated up to 1.6 billion barrels of oil-in-place. In late 2004, AJM of Calgary estimated oil-in-place at 1.2 billion barrels, with the potential for significant expansion of resource. Three drilling programs in 2006 confirmed that Sawn Lake is a heavy oil play with the possibility of cold flow in some parts of the reservoir."
Schlotter also noted: "Tamm Oil and Gas has an attractive valuation, trading at thirty-one percent of its 2008E FDNAVPS. The SISM Research NAV breakdown, based on our per-barrel value assumptions on recent oil sands transaction metrics, is $6.56. We estimate that it will take approx. three to four years, on average, for an SAGD producer to convert contingent resources to reserves. Based on the DeGolyer and MacNaughton reserves appraisal report, just recently released, we arrived at a NAV breakdown of $4.12 for the Sawn Lake Project only."
