Speedacious Gets Happy Ticket, Chief Jay Wins Johnson Memorial
Carl Moore's Speedacious broke in stride to make the pace and continued willingly throughout to take Saturday's $60,000 Happy Ticket Stakes for accredited Louisiana-bred older fillies and mares at Fair Grounds by 4 1/2-lengths.
The daughter of Yankee Gentleman trained by Bret Calhoun toured the 5 1/2-furlong distance in a rapid 1:03.37 after setting early fractions of 21.92 and 44.65. She increased her career earnings to $169,300 with her fourth career win in nine lifetime starts.
"We know she's got a lot of speed," said winning rider Carlos Gonzalez. "Break sharp and see where she is at. Just ride her. I love this filly. She means a lot to me."
Speedacious paid $13.20, $5.40 and $3.40, while runner-up favorite Cajun Conference, owned by Southern Equine Stables, returned $3 and $2.20 while finishing 3 1/2 lengths to the good of John Duvieilh and Keith and Earl Hernandez' Cherry Forever, who paid $2.40
Earlier in the afternoon, Sara Citron's Chief Jay, ridden by Shaun Bridgmohan for trainer Sam Breaux, took command in the late stages and outfought Lee Young's Flashy Wise Cat to win the $60,000 John Jackson Memorial by a neck. The latter gained the place in the final strides by a half-length from Charles Fletcher's My Star Runner but could not match the winner.
My Star Runner pressed the pace of Foxwood Plantation's Foreign Production, gained the advantage from that frontrunner in mid-stretch, could not stay with the top two but clearly bested the others.
Chief Jay accomplished the 5 1/2-furlong distance in 1:03.39, increased his career earnings to $199,560 with his sixth win in 17 lifetime starts and paid $20.80, $7.80 and $3.
Flashy Wise Cat returned $2.80 and $2.10 while My Star Runner paid $2.20.
Racing resumes Sunday at Fair Grounds with an 11-race program beginning at 12:40 p.m.

*This post was originally published at dat other site this morning!*
Let's just jump right in with the pics, shall we?
I met Nicole Carroll after parking my car and walking to the Expo on Friday. The RnR 5k was her FIRST RACE! She had some reservations on how she would do and if she could finish, so I encouraged her as we walked. When I found out she had lost 70 POUNDS as a new runner, I was all: YOU GOT THIS, MOMMA!
She's also active duty: Thank you for your service, Nicole!
Sunday morning, looking for a friend in her assigned corral. The crowd is picking up, and the excitement is growing.
The weather was a misery for the runners/walkers. The temp was 72° and the humidity was hovering around 95% in this shot. The sun's not even up and folks were sweating!
Wendy (or Wendy-Loo as I lovingly call her) found us! I totally felt like a fraud wearing the RnR shirt, yet not participating. I wanted to tell everyone: It's OK; I'M INJURED! ~sheesh~
A note about Wendy: she had a knee injury that prevented her from running for three weeks prior to the race. She showed up and was hoping for the best. She ended up toughing it out and finishing that badboy. So happy for her!
Moments before the starting gun: potty break!
So much anticipation. GOOD LUCK!
After seeing Wendy off, we headed to the VIP tent (this was a new experience and I wanted to see how the RnR folks did with this amenity). Before we got to the tent, we came across these two: Go Get 'Em!
On to the tent!
The VIP tickets were offered and sold out in one day, via email. What did the $50 ticket get you (in case you want to snag one for next year):
* Parking within easy walking distance and on Alamodome property. Getting to the parking area was a bit of a cluster, even for a local. Local security was confused and it was by pure luck that Husband got us where we intended to go. But, we prevailed and got a spot thisclose to the start.
* Gear Check with Julieanne and Brenda! I counted about 30ish bags that were checked, so it was an easy in-and-out proposition, which these two made simple. Thanks ladies!
* Private changing rooms for men and women:
* VIP porta-potties with washing station (with running water) AND a table with amenities like sunscreen, hand sanitizer and mints! This alone might be worth the cost of a ticket.
* Private seating area in which to enjoy a pre-race bagel/coffee/energy drink:
* Pre-race/post-race hydration bar with sports drinks, orange juice, chocolate milk, soda and water:
* Coffee station, with a side of Power Bars:
* While the pre-race grub was great, it was the post-race offerings that made me swoon. Salad/pasta bar:
* Fajita bar. Oh my. The beef fajitas were some of the best I've had, and I live in fajita country, y'all.
* Oh…and fruit. The only folks I saw partaking of fruit were the Kenyans. For the real. They know what's-what in nutrition, but we totally rock thangs in the yum department.
This is an outside shot of the VIP area. To the right of this shot is the stage where the live music was ROCKIN'!
* VIPs were a stone's throw from the stage. You could easily sit and enjoy your fajitas while watching the musical talent do their thang without braving the crowd:
* Cool VIP band. Yep, can you believe that's included too?!
While I totally thought the VIP area was worth the cost, I'm wondering what you guys think. Would you pay $50 for the above?
After the race we talked to a few folks while we waited on Wendy-Loo to finish.
We ran into our first biker, who also happened to be a San Antonio Council Member (dist. 3), Rebecca Viagran:
Rebecca said she was keeping an eye on the time while she was on the course (bikers started before marathoners) because she didn't want to be overtaken by the Kenyans. LOL!
We also talked to this biking couple: Ismael and Brenda Hernandez:
Everyone we talked to agreed that this year's new layout of having the start and finish line at the Alamodome was the best yet. It was nice to be able to come to one spot and not have to trek between the two.
The course was new as well. Participants reactions were a mixed bag of likes vs dislikes. I think the hills were the main issue. Some liked having the one hill at the end as "the" hill and others thought having the hills disbursed throughout the race was better.
Since I wasn't able to run this year, I missed out on the new course and having an opinion. Dang!
Each year is a little different and I hope a little better for racers, new and old.
Thank you to all who let me photograph them and share their stories.
Y'all are the reason I write about running.
If you ran, let us know how it went. We're dying to know!
Come on HOME for more fun, follow me daily on Twitter, or like me on Facebook. Wanna shop instead? I've been ZAZZLE'D!

A Woodlands dad reunited with his family Friday after spending more than a year behind bars for a crime he didn't commit.
It's a story you heard first earlier this year on KHOU 11 News at 10.
"I thank God, thank God that I live in the United States of America," said Larry Davis, who was found not guilty of drug trafficking in the Dominican Republic.
Last year, Larry Davis leased out his boat. He ran a fuel trading business with his dad, but when his mom was diagnosed with Leukemia, he decided to focus on things back home.
However, he got called down to the Dominican Republic for a boat inspection, and investigators found 985 kilograms of cocaine on board. Davis was arrested.
Friday night, a crowd of family and friends greeted Davis at Bush Airport and his smile said it all.
"All the people that carried us through, it's good to see them here and Larry needed this," said Stacy Davis, his wife.
From kids carrying signs, to friends from Davis' soccer team, it's the support he says that helped him survive more than a year in Dominican Republic prison.
"There was always a phone call from somebody I didn't expect, I call them small miracles, small miracles from God. He would put something in front of me and say, 'All right, you can keep going,'" Larry Davis said.
It took an army of angels. Prison visits from friends and pressure from politicians.
"Writing letters from everybody to the president of the Dominican Republic to the Ambassador of the United States," said Nathan Beedle, a friend.
After a trial delayed three times, finally came a not guilty verdict on his drug trafficking charge.
"Not only did the judges acquit Larry, but they chastised the prosecution," say Sean Buckley, his attorney.
A panel of three judges ruled there was no evidence and finally, an answered prayer, Larry Davis left a free man.
"I walked out prison yesterday with my head held high with confidence knowing everybody knows the truth now," Larry Davis said.
Larry Davis overcame a lot behind bars. There was a Cholera outbreak. One person died, and at times, it was hard to find clean drinking water. He told us read scripture daily and became diligent about working out. He says he survived by staying positive, even when there was little hope.

Sawmill Cabin by the Sawmill Creek Fishing Access on Rock Creek is a Montana Rock Creek Cabin. Two bedrooms, each with a queen bed, is the perfect cabin for enjoying the Rock Creek Valley. Gas fireplace, wireless internet, cell phone coverage for Verizon phones, a great kitchen, 4 person hot tub, flat screen TV all just a short minute or less walk to the blue ribbon trout stream, Rock Creek. Great views of the mountains from the living room and spacious deck.
For 22 years, we owned the Cabins at Lopstick in Pittsburg, NH. Hosting guests from all over the world who traveled to northern New Hampshire to fishing, vacation, snowmobile and and hunt. In 2008, we bought a little cabin on Rock Creek. We rented it out until 2013 when we sold Lopstick and moved permanently to Montana to fish, hike and hunt Montana. Of all the places we've fished in the American West, we chose Rock Creek as our home.
Lisa and Tim Savard purchased this cabin in 2008
The Sawmill Cabin is perfect for two or two couples. The large back deck is perfect for meals, gathering or relaxing after a day of adventure in Western Montana. We love this cozy, log cabin and make it our home in winter months. In summer, when not sharing with guests, we visit and keep up the lawn and gardens. We love having beautiful flowers and fresh veggies to share. We love this cabin because of the view and the quiet, we hope you do too!
Having a large hot tub on the deck under the stars is a huge plus! Also the gas fireplace and the homey touches make Sawmill a cabin folks return to year after year.
This was our first trip to Montana and staying in the Rock Creek Sawmill Cabin made our trip very special. There was everything that you could ever need in the cabin. It was decorated beautifully. Sitting in the Jacuzzi in the evening overlooking the trees was incredible even in the snow! The Jacuzzi was always ready after a day of adventure to relax in. The cabin is just a short walk to Rock Creek for fishing.
This cabin is Lisa & Tim's home and we felt like "invited Guests" not renters. We can't wait to come back!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Saw Mill Cabin. This is a lovely cabin in a quiet, peaceful and beautiful setting. We enjoyed fishing Rock Creek or just sitting out on the deck or soaking in the hot tub. Most of the time, all you hear is the rippling of the waters of Rock Creek, the rustling of the leaves in the trees, and the chirping of the birds. The cabin was very comfortable and the owners invite you to enjoy fresh veggies from their garden.

Dear all, dear Mark, I investigated the problem a bit further: I am trying to replace the includes to "local" libpcre headers by includes in the <foo.h> form, and to ship the pcre_internal.h in the debian directory. This leads to three problems: - I also need the configure.h file generated when libpcre3-dev was built. I solved this one by shipping this one as well in the debian directory. - The file ucp.h is needed by pcre3_internal.h. For the moment, I also added it to the debian directory. But its header says "libucp - Unicode Property Table handler". So maybe it is a library which is not internal and could be shipped by the pcre3 debian package? - After these modifications, the building fails with make: *** No rule to make target `pcre.lo', needed by `libajax.la'. Stop. This one is fatal to me as I have to admit that, not being a C programmer, I my understanding of those library things is very limited. But there may be other solutions: - Modify the makefiles of EMBOSS so that it gets built statically against the libpcre it ships (or does it already?). - Ressucitate the debian package for pcre 4.3 if it can cohabit with the current version, and build emboss against version 4.3. Depending on the answer, it may be more appropriate to continue the discussion on -mentors. The thread is here: http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2006/09/msg00286.html 1158283358.9619.36.camel@localhost Lastly, I would like to quote the EMBOSS website: "EMBOSS breaks the historical trend towards commercial software packages". As a molecular biologist, I am really grateful to the EMBOSS developpers for their past and present efforts for free software, especially in those years where there is an increasing pressure on scientists to commercialise their works using buisness models based on intellecutal property (patents, non-free software,...). Not being a Debian developper I can not speak for the Debian project, but if the people behind EMBOSS read this thread, I want them to know that I strongly disagree with the Debian developper saying that they are idiots. I have a deep respect for their work, which makes bioinformatics accessible to anybody having a personnal computer running a *nix operating system. Have a nice day, -- Charles Plessy Debian-Med packaging team Wako, Saitama, Japan

Search engine optimization (SEO) is a series of methods used by content creators to help improve their ranking on various search engines including Google, Yahoo, and Bing. Having a higher search ranking means that people searching for a specific topic will be more likely to see your content before anyone else.
Doing things like giving your content specific titles, using keywords and frequently searched phrases in the body of the page, and maintaining a set of standards across your site are great ways to start with SEO.
More recently, search engines like Google and Bing have started to use social media as part of its search algorithms. Are people sharing your content? Has someone you associate with on Google+ or Facebook shared a specific link related to the subject you're searching for? These may very well be the biggest factors in ranking a site moving forward.

Auburn Falls to Georgia, 24-21
Box Score l Game Notes l Audio Archives
November 16, 2002
RB Ronnie Brown
RB Ronnie Brown
Three straight incompletions by Greene and a false-start penalty set up 4th-and-15, but Greene lofted his pass into the left corner of the end zone. Johnson, subbing for an injured Terrence Edwards, outjumped Horace Willis for the score.
The Bulldogs (10-1, 7-1 SEC) earned a shot at their first league title since 1982 and ended a three-game losing streak to the Tigers (7-4, 4-3).
Auburn took over at its own 28 with 1:18 to play, and Jason Campbell quickly hit Robert Johnson over the middle for a 25-yard gain.
The Georgia defense resumed its second-half dominance after that, with a sack by Boss Bailey and two Auburn penalties leaving Auburn with a 4th-and-20. Campbell's pass to Tre Smith fell well short of the first-down marker with 19 seconds left.
Georgia's last four victories in the series have come at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
Greene finished 18-of-35 for 232 yards with an interception. Playing without Edwards (separated right shoulder) and Damien Gary (left leg injury), he passed for just 29 yards in the first half.
Johnson had caught 11 passes coming in but finished with 13 for 141 yards and the final touchdown.
Auburn led 14-3 at halftime behind Ronnie Brown's 103 rushing yards, including a 53-yard touchdown. Brown had 10 second-half carries for 21 yards.
Quarterback Jason Campbell was 12-of-23 for 133 yards with two first-quarter interceptions, also rushing for 72 yards. He threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Johnson and ran for a 21-yard score with 5:45 left in the third quarter for a 21-10 lead.
The Tigers then went three-and-out on six straight possessions, gaining just 99 second-half yards after Brandon Johnson left the game due to a leg injury.
The Bulldogs had driven to Auburn's 29-yard line on the drive prior to the game-winner. But Musa Smith, who gained 90 yards on 15 carries, was stopped for a 2-yard gain, and Greene threw two straight incompletions. On fourth-and-8, Greene was forced to dump it off to Johnson under a heavy blitz. Spencer Johnson stopped the play for a loss with 2:33 left.
Auburn managed to run just 22 seconds off the clock on three plays, going three-and-out for the sixth straight possession to give the ball back to Georgia.
The Bulldogs got the ball back at their own 41 with 1:58 left and no timeouts, but they didn't need them. Greene hit a leaping Fred Gibson on the left sideline for a 41-yarder before throwing three straight incompletions.
The Tigers outgained the Bulldogs 233-63 in the first half for a 14-3 lead.
The Bulldogs scored touchdowns on drives of 77 and 89 yards to open the second half, cutting it to 21-17.
Greene scored on a 1-yard sneak, then tackle Jon Stinchcomb recovered his quarterback's fumble in the end zone with 2:02 left in the third.
The second score capped an 89-yard drive that was actually pushed back to the 2-yard line on a sack on the first play.
In between, Campbell darted 21 yards into the end zone, faking to Brown from the shotgun and running up the middle.

An early question must be answered if, in an election that begins with Tuesday's primary, underdog Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn wins a second term.
Will McGinn go on holding "brown bag" lunches for reporters, especially now that use of "brown bag" has been discouraged for alleged racial connotations in a memo to city agencies from Elliott Bronstein of the Office for Civil Rights. Or, as suggested by the OCR guy, will press sessions be relabeled "lunch-and-learn" or "sack lunch."
Seattle is having a mid-summer election at a time of year when voters normally tune out politics. A turnout of perhaps 35 percent, or 145-150,000 voters, is predicted.
But the Emerald City's citizens — oops, Bronstein says we should call them "residents" — have a lot at stake. Here are a half-dozen reasons why you should actively follow an election held in the lazy days of summer:
— We have close elections and your vote counts. Gov. Chris Gregoire won in 2004 by a 133-vote margin. Control of the Washington State Senate swung on Republican State Sen. Don Benton's 104-vote margin down in Vancouver. In 2010, Island County voters assured turmoil and dysfunction when they elected Tea Party activist Kelly Emerson as County Commissioner by a couple hundred votes.
— Close elections have consequences. With Benton's victory, a coalition of 23 Republicans and 2 Democrats took control of the Washington State Senate. The consequence: No state transportation package. No option for King County Metro to ask voters for money to maintain bus service. No Washington DREAM Act.
— Voters will set Seattle's direction. Mayor McGinn is, in memorable words of one supporter, "a game changer." He wants to change the rules by which businesses settle here — witness the Whole Foods controversy –and the rules by which we get around (light rail to Ballard and West Seattle). Are citizens, oops residents, playing this game?
— Seattle has an array of strong alternatives to Hizzoner. State Sen. Ed Murray has built coalitions in Olympia. Ex-Councilman Peter Steinbrueck was/is a champion of neighborhoods, including the industrial neighborhood that would be disrupted by the Sodo Arena. Councilman Bruce Harrell says he can bring together the streets and the boardrooms. It is NOT a plug-your-nose-then-vote election.
— Seniors should not dominate the shaping of tomorrow. The turnout of voters under 25 in Seattle elections is shockingly low, in the hundreds. Groups like Washington Bus have tried to spike it, notably with a Showbox Theatre "Candidate Survivor" stage show at which candidates embarrass themselves and get voted off the stage. Backstage, however, some campaign consultants are counting young people out of the vote count. Huh? Young people will inherit this city.
— The "endorsement" that counts is the vote you cast. Endorsements by liberal interest groups have become a very big deal here. Candidates have trudged from meeting to meeting, compelled to be pander bears. The governing rule: Think INSIDE the box. "Debate" is over over what brand of liberal you are, how liberal you are, and how green you are. Seattle's political class preaches "inclusiveness", but the city's politics badly need diversity.
Voters can throw open the windows and let in some fresh air, but only if they don't let themselves get guided by somebody else.
Several years ago, full of itself, The Stranger announced its endorsements with the message: We do the thinking for you. The paper/blog now shows more respect for readers, although it has sacred cows (City Councilman Mike O'Brien) and oxen to be gored (Councilman Richard Conlin, Council challenger Albert Shen). But a counterargument still holds: If a democratic society is to work, citizens — oops, residents — have to do their own thinking.
Then, too, voting can be fun — particularly if it confounds pundits and does open the windows and let in fresh air.
Sick of excess polls and exit polls, legendary Chicago columnist Mike Royko once gave this advice to people approached by a pollster: Lie. Just once. Lie. He envisioned an election night in which TV anchors — Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw and Peter Jennings at the time — would be stammering on air, sweating profusely, with makeup running down their faces.
As for another kind of fun, I think of a parking lot conversation with realtor and mayoral longshot Charlie Staadecker. After the last forum of the "debatepalooza" campaign, Charlie was upbeat in the parking lot at Rainier Community Center.
Why? Whatever the vote totals, said Charlie, he has learned a lot about Seattle and come away with an expanded, renewed and reinvigorated love for the place.
Show that affection: Get your ballot in and postmarked by 8 p.m. on Tuesday.

At least spring king salmon are running bigger than usual for Juneau anglers competing in the premier spring fishing tournament.
With about two thirds of this year's 11th Annual Spring King Salmon Derby behind us, at least nine kings have been weighed in over 30 pounds, lead by Joseph Castillo's 38.2-pounder.
But anglers are getting more than just a chance at big salmon and prices that could top $8,000 for first place, derby coordinator Leslie Isturis said.
"Just getting out on the water, relaxing, enjoying this beautiful weather, is a big part of it," Isturis said. "I just got through talking to the folks at Western Auto, even they got away from the store to fish this weekend. They didn't get a bite, but still said it was well worth it!"
While in some past derbies most of the top kings were caught in the early days, it seems there's a continuing procession of big kings being weighed in the latter part of the tourney. At least three kings of 30 or more pounds were entered last weekend.
The 2004 derby winner was a 51.4-pound giant king that Robert Dilley caught on the last weekend of that derby.
"There are a lot more big fish this year," Isturis said. "Big fish are still coming in and there's that really big one still out there waiting for somebody to catch him!"
While it is hardly a scientific survey, this author's own poll of serious anglers has produced several reports of kings too big to control, that have spooled or broken off even experienced fishermen.
Of the time this goes to press, 112 kings have been entered the derby. Beyond the prizes available to the top 30 kings entered gutted-and-gilled in the event, there are additional prizes for young anglers. Three-year-old Gavin Millard is the youngest angler on the board so far, with a 19.05-pound that must be almost as large as he is.
The derby is the primary fundraiser for the Tlingt-Haida Alumni Scholarship Assistance Program, which provides financial aid to almost 100 Native students in college.
Entry fee is $40 and derby tickets are available at Alaskan & Proud, Breeze-In, DeHart's Auke Bay Store, Fishermen's Bend, Harri Plumbing, Rayco Sales and Western Auto.
For current standings and more information on the derby, go online to http://www.springkingderby.org/ or the Juneau Empire/Capital City Weekly derby site, http://juneauempire.com/springking/.
The Empire and CCW are also posting photos from competing anglers. Please e-mail photos to firstname.lastname@example.com or upload them yourself to the community gallery at: http://spotted.juneauempire.com/pages/event_galleries.php?event=3452.
Family fishing photos are especially welcome.

Love is like the sunshine,
Disappears at sunset,
Rainy days,
Leave you so lonely.
Wanting to be loved,
Reality not dream,
The sun rises,
Shattering the darkness.
Dreams flow through your mind,
Thinking of the one special person,
Walking alone the seaside,
Lonely life becomes more vivid.
Wanting peace,
To hard to seek,
Finding your soul,
Tucked inside.
The sun holds a promise,
But it's flimsy like clouds,
Easy to break,
Easy to love.

WD RAIDs up My Book external hard drive
Western Digital has rolled out one its My Book external hard drives, this time packing a pair of disks in RAID configuration to guard against data loss.
The My Book Mirror Edition contains two terabyte drives, though since they form a RAID 1 array, you'll only get 1TB of storage capacity. Copy your content to the drive, and what's written to the first disk is also written to the second to ensure that if one of the two fails, you can still get your information off the other.
WD My Book Mirror Edition: back up your back-up
That said, if raw capacity's your thing, the drive can also be set to RAID 0, with blocks of data written across both disk's combined 2TB space - actually less than that, thanks to the formatting.
WD said the unit has a USB 2.0 interface and comes with Windows-friendly automatic back-up software. It's green too: WD claimed the unit's drives consume a third of the power that regular HDDs do.
Available now, the My Book Mirror Edition costs $290/£170. A 2TB (4TB in RAID 0) version costs $550/£310.

Relative survival statistics compare the survival of patients diagnosed with cancer with the survival of people in the general population who are the same age, race, and sex and who have not been diagnosed with cancer. Because survival statistics are based on large groups of people, they cannot be used to predict exactly what will happen to an individual patient. No two patients are entirely alike, and treatment and responses to treatment can vary greatly.

Although leukemia is among the most common childhood cancers, it most often occurs in older adults. Leukemia is slightly more common in men than women. The number of new cases of leukemia was 13.7 per 100,000 men and women per year based on 2010-2014 cases.

Who Dies From This Cancer?
Death rates from leukemia are higher among the elderly. People with leukemia have many treatment options, and treatment for leukemia can often control the disease and its symptoms. Leukemia is the seventh leading cause of cancer death in the United States. The number of deaths was 6.8 per 100,000 men and women per year based on 2010-2014 deaths.

Changes Over Time
Keeping track of the number of new cases, deaths, and survival over time (trends) can help scientists understand whether progress is being made and where additional research is needed to address challenges, such as improving screening or finding better treatments.
Using statistical models for analysis, rates for new leukemia cases have been rising on average 0.3% each year over the last 10 years. Death rates have been falling on average 1.0% each year over 2005-2014. 5-year survival trends are shown below the figure.

More About This CancerShow More
Cancer and the Blood
Leukemia is cancer that starts in the tissue that forms blood. Most blood cells develop from cells in the bone marrow called stem cells. In a person with leukemia, the bone marrow makes abnormal white blood cells. The abnormal cells are leukemia cells. Unlike normal blood cells, leukemia cells don't die when they should. They may crowd out normal white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. This makes it hard for normal blood cells to do their work. The four main types of leukemia are:
- Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)
- Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML)
- Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)
- Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML)
There is no standard staging system for leukemia. The disease is described as untreated, in remission, or recurrent.

The skinny
In his seven years as owner, Mark Cuban has turned the Mavs from a laughingstock into one of the NBA's best run teams on and off the court. Strong marketing, good player evaluations, and a fantastic arena, which Cuban owns half, make the Mavs a model NBA franchise. Last year the Mavs reached the NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history. Most owners use playoff success to jack up ticket prices the following season. Cuban? He lowered prices on the four lowest ticket price levels citing a reduction in payroll for the reason.

I'll second that "Elvis is overrated" thing.
I would have to say that about "The Beatles" for me....over-rated as heck!
I have "Always" thought that "The Beatles" and John Lennon were extremely over-rated......never have been able to see what all the fuss was about...never will.
I think Paul McCartney was the most talented of the four by far and I liked him when he was with the "Wings" in the 70's.

Intimate Place
- Artist: Jacqueline Thomas
- Genre: Reggae
- Release Date: 9/2/2008
Jacqueline Eugennie Thomas, a.k.a. Jet is a singer/song writer currently living in Toronto Canada. She was born in the small district of Cumberland, Jamaica in the parish of Clarendon. Jacqueline's love of gospel music started when at the age of 11 years she got involved in the local church in her hometown and started singing in the church choir. Jacqueline developed a love for writing and found that she was able to release much of her childhood frustrations by writing and singing her thoughts to God. In 1987 she migrated to Canada and continued singing in her mother's church choir in Montreal. Since then, she has performed in numerous mass choirs in Montreal, Edmonton, Calgary and Toronto. Sadly, on January 13, 2007, Jacqueline lost her Grandmother, Ruby Campbell to pneumonia just before her planned trip to Jamaica later that year. At the funeral, she sang Truly, Truly, one of the many songs she had written. She had several requests for the song thereafter which resulted in this her first album entitled Intimate Place, completed as a tribute to her grandmother. This album is sure to pull you in. With lyrics so compelling, you are sure to fall in love with this one.

Chargers WR Royal, LB Johnson active against SkinsAP , Associated Press
Nov. 3, 2013 11:51 AM ET
LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Receiver Eddie Royal is active for the San Diego Chargers against the Washington Redskins despite a hurt toe injury that kept him out of practice all week.
Royal enters Sunday's game with a career-high six touchdown catches this season.
Also active for San Diego is linebacker Jarret Johnson, who returns after missing two games with a hamstring injury. He's tied for the team lead with three sacks.
The Chargers are without linebacker Donald Butler (groin) and guard Chad Rinehart (toe).
Tight end Fred Davis is inactive again for Washington, which gets both starting safeties back: Reed Doughty returns after missing one game with a concussion and safety Brandon Meriweather returns from a one-game suspension for helmet-to-helmet hits.
Redskins safety Jose Gumbs is out with an ankle injury.

ELDER MUSIC: Drinking Songs 3
8 hours ago
Getting older isn't just about arm flab or memory loss. It has its advantages like senior discounts or two for one at IHOP (between the hours of 4 and 6pm only). It's not much different than the terrible twos but without the spankings....that is unless you want one.
Can I tell you how much I like being in a gender balanced work place? My last job was a whole hallway of females. The gossip was insane. Because of one coworker I knew almost everyone's family medical history. I don't have that problem anymore. Sure I hear stories about people notoriously difficult to work with, but that's it. No personal business. What a relief!

Difference between revisions of "Montreal"
Revision as of 02:36, 18 November 2003
Montreal (French: Montréal) is the cultural capital of Quebec and the gateway to that province. Once the largest city in Canada, recent years have seen it cede that place to Toronto. It remains a city rich in culture and history, and has a well-deserved reputation as one of the liveliest cities in North America.
Situated on an island in the St. Lawrence River just at its highest navigable point, Montreal has been a strategic location since before the arrival of Europeans in Canada. A Native American village called Hochelaga was on the site of present-day Montreal when explorer Jacques Cartier first visited in 1535. A hundred years later, in 1642, the tiny town of Ville-Marie was founded as a Jesuit mission, but soon became a center of the fur trade. After its capture by the English in 1762, Montreal remained the most important city in francophone Canada, and was briefly capital of the province in the 1840s.
Prohibition on sales of alcohol in the United States during the 1920s and 30s made Montreal a mecca for cross-border fun seekers from nearby New England and New York. The city built up a seedy yet playful industry in alcohol, burlesque, and other vices. In the 1960s, an urban renewal drive centered around the Expo 67, the World's Fair in Montreal, brought a subway system and a number of attractive urban parks. The 1976 Olympics left a strikingly idiosyncratic stadium and many other urban improvements.
The opening of the Saint Lawrence Seaway in 1959, though much lauded as an economic boon, spelled the beginning of the end for Montreal's economic dominance in Canada. Once the transition point between western rail roads and eastern sea carriers, Montreal watched helplessly as this business moved farther west, up the now navigable Seaway, to ports in Ontario and on Lake Superior. The Quebec sovereignty movement, which began to pick up steam in the 1960s, further chilled the atmosphere for Canada-wide businesses, many of which moved their headquarters to Toronto.
After an economic depression in the 1980s and 1990s -- due to automotive and aerospace plant closures in the surrounding area -- Montreal today has become more secure in its place in North America and the world. The second-largest francophone city in the world after Paris, it remains steadfastly confident in its own relevance in the face of the previous difficult years. It remains center of culture, arts, computer technology and media for all of Canada and for the French-speaking world.
Get in
Get around
Montreal has a huge variety of food options, from diners and fast food to low-cost ethnic restaurants to haute cuisine. The large local Jewish population has contributed local specialties including a huge smoked meat sandwich called viande fumée and small, crusty bagels. Other specialties are "all-dressed" pizza (with smoked meat), and Quebecois favorites like split pea soup.
No visit to Montreal is complete without at least one plate of poutine (from English "pudding"). This unique dish is a plate of french fries, drowned in gravy, and topped with with chewy curds of white cheddar. There are variations on the theme -- adding chicken, beef, vegetables or sausage, or replacing the gravy with tomato sauce (poutine italienne). Every Montrealer has their favorite poutine restaurant where you can get "the real stuff."
Many Montreal restaurants require you to bring your own bottle of wine (apportez votre vin). This may sound like a hassle, but you end up paying much less for wine with dinner if you bring it yourself. There's usually a SAQ -- the province's official liquor store -- nearby; ask your waiter.
Restaurants lie thick on the ground in Montreal. A stroll down Duluth Street or Prince Arthur -- both pedestrian streets -- will turn up at least a few worth trying.

Specific accommodation info, or general idea of good areas of the destination to try. Other good info to include is high/low season, the importance of reservation, things to request (quiet room, view, airport pick up, etc)
Stay Safe
Get out
Montreal makes an excellent entryway for visiting other cities and destinations in Quebec. Quebec City, about 3 hours to the north east on Highway 40, is almost but not quite a day trip -- you'll want to stay over, anyways. Mont Tremblant lies less than 2 hours north in the Laurentides, while the Eastern Townships are about the same distance straight east. If you're continuing to Ontario, Ottawa is 2 hours west by car, and Toronto is a more distant, but still doable, 6 hour drive.
This article is still a stub and needs your attention. Plunge forward and help it grow!

Lets bundle all the unpopular GNU products together to make one really unpopular one and try to make it sound like the greatest thing sense sliced bread.
and try to make it sound like the greatest thing sense sliced bread.
Good luck to them in doing that while they're still giving their high-profile work ridiculous neckbeard titles like "GNU Media Goblin", "GNU SIP Witch", "GNU Tools Cauldron" (the GNU prefix is required; one or more of their devotees will show up and throw a shit fit over it in public if you omit it).
It's like the FSF want to embarass the FOSS world into avoiding them and the ideals they're preaching; they're like a church offering libre enlightenment but the only entrance is through a municipal sewage tunne
Right, because things like "Spotify" sc ream out "streaming media". Those names are fine, or at least there are many worse example.
You think FOSS has a monopoly on idiotic names?
FOSS may have GIMP, but Microsoft has WiMP and WinCE. But software names are far less stupid than automobile names.
I just saw a truck in the parking lot with the trunk emblazoned "Toyota TRD". I had to do a double take, Toyota Turd? That's what it says in txtspk.
How about the Dodge Startus, er, Stratus? The Chevy Nova? "No va" is Spanish for "doesn't go." Worse yet is the KIA. What damned fool named a car company the military acronym for Killed In Action??
How a

http://spanish.about.com/cs/culture/a/chevy_nova.htm [about.com]
Chevrolet did reasonably well with the Nova in Latin America, even exceeding its sales projections in Venezuela. The story of the Chevy Nova is a classic example of an urban legend, a story that is told and retold so often that it is believed to be true even though it isn't. Like most other urban legends, there is some element of truth in the story (no va indeed means "it doesn't go")
ReÃr, es gracioso. Si, yo hablo poquito Espanol. I didn't say they couldn't sell them.
"TRD" does remind me of turd, but all the other examples are absolutely ridiculous.
WIMP is not a product, and it's the only word you can make out of those letters. It's memorable. I think it's a lot better than PWIM.
It's not Wince, it's Windows CE. Kia is not Kay-eye-ay, it's Kee-ah.
Nestea: interesting. I have never thought of that. Dynasty: not interesting. In fact, the thought of being more reminded of "die nasty" than actual dynasties tells me you need a better education.
Does anyone actually _use_ MediaGoblin? Their wiki lists a couple of sites, but they all seem a lot more "I installed this to try it out" and much less "this serves a need for me."
That's what's great about MediaGoblin being a GNU project. People have the freedom to never use it.
Ironically OpenID support is announced the same day that myOpenID announces it's shutting down.
(Yeah, I know, OpenID is all over these days, but it's still funny/sad.)
Yeah, myOpenID is just an implementation of OpenID. That it was sort-of the first and most open version is the ironic bit - GNU MediaGoblin is mostly going to have to rely on closed implementations (Facebook, Google, Yahoo, etc.) of the standard to do the actual authenticating.
I was going to try it out but I couldn't get in the site. It didn't seem slashdotted, it just seemed to not work. Now I see why.
Not quite.
Imagine Youtube. You post videos, right?
GMG is like Youtube. Except, you don't only post videos. You post one item, which can be any number of different media - an article or "blog post", a song, a video, a 3D-rendered image, a video game... Anything. People may comment on this item to say "Wow, nice job" or "Eww that sucks!"
Now, further imagine that all files are hosted on your own equipment.
Now, further imagine that there are thousands of these servers, and they all speak to one another, and the
Obliquely alluding to the potential of this or any FOSS app to de-cathedralize a social media site by having p2p circles of association that is secure, private as one wants, self-maintained and owned and hopefully has a plug/module for dydns or like; only makes a wooshing sound below the din of

The game gives you the option of choosing the girls who would not have liked you enough in the previous games. If you choose to go down that root then the girl agrees to become your partner but they show various levels of enthusiasm. You'll get a cut scene where you see them agree to the relationship and while the image is slightly sinister it doesn't go into too much detail beyond that. This struck me as the mystical equivalent of an arranged political marriage.
This issue can be skirted around by making sure you pick the girls who like you more but it is present.

The most successful convenience store locations also sell gasoline products. Some who work in management work for individual locations, while others work for chains in this industry. Efficiency matters in a number of important ways. Fuel distributors Rochester offer these businesses quality fuel in quick and easy ways. Having confidence in vendors and supplies is extremely important to running convenience stores.
These are individuals who impact productivity and profitability. Your capacity to serve your customers rests upon their efficiency. The quicker they deliver to you, the quicker you serve customers. This is why finding the right suppliers and distributors essential to any business model. Fortunately for managers in the Rochester area, they have access to some of the best in the field.
Providing Quality Products
The fuel that you provide to your customers does matter. The quality not only impacts how vehicles run. It can impact your reputation in the field and physical location. Partnering with distributors who understand this issue is critical to success. This is why being strict about these connections is important to productivity.
Maintaining Quantity Levels
Customers hate to see pumps that are empty or out-of-order. It is important to always maintain adequate quantity levels of fuel. The dependability of your distributor is essential to this process. Their logistical capacity is something to consider. Convenience stores only work with those who are consistent and dependable. They need to be able to count on all vendors and distributors.
It doesn't matter whether you are in upper management or are onsite. The way that you run your convenience store location plays a role on the company as a whole. Customers associate your location with the greater corporation. This is why having a well-equipped store is important. This impacts your reputation and ability to retain good customers.

Congrats, Leo!
Multitalented dreamboat actor Leonardo DiCaprio won the Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy award at the Golden Globes for his work on The Wolf of Wall Street. We couldn't be happier for him! Not only is this great news in general, but it also sets him up to win an Oscar.
What are we talking about? The Golden Globes is cool in its own right (namely for the awesome co-hosts), but there's also an historical precedent that suggests Golden Globes winners go on to become Oscar winners. Most importantly for DiCaprio, 12 of the last 20 Golden Globes Best Actor winners have gone on to take home the Oscar. The predictions don't stop there, though. The Golden Globes have successfully predicted the Oscar Best Picture winners 11 times in the last 20 years. The Globes predicted Best Picture winners most accurately between 1993 and 2003, when they matched 10 out of 11 times. For the last two years, in fact, the movies that won Best Comedy (The Artist in 2012) and Best Drama (Argo in 2013) have gone on to win the Best Picture Oscar.
This isn't Leonardo's first Globes win, however. DiCaprio previously won in 2005 for his role in The Aviator. As a matter of fact, in the last 20 years, our boy has been nominated for 10 Golden Globes. His first nomination? Oh, just a little movie from 1994 called What's Eating Gilbert Grape? Interestingly enough, his win for The Aviator was one of the few times the Academy got it wrong. While he was nominated for his role in the film, he didn't go on to win the Oscar. That year, Jamie Foxx won for his role in Ray.
To date, DiCaprio has never won an Oscar. He's been nominated on three occasions for his roles in What's Eating Gilbert Grape?, The Aviator and Blood Diamond, however. Hopefully, this Globe win will help seal the deal, and we'll see DiCaprio take home the Oscar in March.
Best of luck!

Twas The Night Before Christmas.
"Twas the night before Christmas, living on our boat
After 793 days in the boatyard we're finally afloat.
We rebuilt her for two years with care,
With dreams of Mexico, soon we'll be there.
The dogs were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of doggy treats danced in their heads.
And she in her warmies, and I in my cap,
Safe in our slip for a long winter's nap.
When out on the deck there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the berth to see what was the matter.
the boat swayed and danced in the chop,
the halyards slapping at our mast top.
The wind driven snow lashed at our deck
I climbed out the hatch our first winter storm was here.
Slipping and sliding I climbed to the mast,
Tightened all the halyards, quiet at last.
I climbed back below to my warm glowing cabin,
The kettle whistled, the time had come,
for Christmas cookies and hot buttered rum.
Our tiny home was warm and dry
I peered out the porthole and stared at the sky
I heard a whisper and felt a warm tug,
Its our first Christmas afloat she said with a hug.
We snuggled in our bunk and talked of warm beaches. Of sailing around on perfect broad reaches.
Of all the things we would do and places to see.
Soon our little home would be out at sea.
South till the butter melts then turn right.
The South Pacific what a wonderful sight.
Tonga, Fiji, and Vanuatu
The Solomon Islands then Nauru.
Downhill with wind at our backs.
We'll follow the sun and never look back.
What a wonderful dream, soon it will be.
A whole new life out on the sea.
We talked and laughed till late in the night.
Our boat might be small but everything's right.
Dreaming and scheming about taking flight.
Till the sandman came and took us away.
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!"
From the log of Roo 2009

Plea from RUST
Rotherham United Supporters Trust (RUST) have asked supporters to keep the faith whilst Rotherham United steer their way out of financial trouble.
RUST have met with the board of directors for an update on progress off the field. Mark Thomas, Chairman, told The Advertiser 'We want to see the club play at the highest level, with the best players, but we are being realistic and know that the priority has to be to avoid the financial problems we had last year. The club are working hard towards financial stability. They have a good management structure and this enables them to combine working with Rotherham United and also devote time to their own businesses.'

What does BARRISTER mean?
Definitions for BARRISTERˈbær ə stər
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word BARRISTER.
Princeton's WordNet
a British or Canadian lawyer who speaks in the higher courts of law on behalf of either the defense or prosecution
A lawyer with the right to speak and argue as an advocate in higher lawcourts.
Origin: From bar; the role of the suffix is unclear.
Webster Dictionary
counselor at law; a counsel admitted to plead at the bar, and undertake the public trial of causes, as distinguished from an attorney or solicitor. See Attorney
A Barrister also termed as Barrister-at-Law or Bar-at-Law is a member of one of the two classes of lawyer found in many common law jurisdictions with split legal professions. Barristers specialize in courtroom advocacy, drafting legal pleadings, and giving expert legal opinions. They can be contrasted with solicitors – the other class of lawyer in split professions – who have more direct access to clients, and may do transactional-type legal work. Barristers are rarely hired by clients directly but instead are retained by solicitors to act on behalf of clients. The historical difference between the two professions – and the only essential difference in England and Wales today – is that solicitors are attorneys, which means that they can act in the place of their client for legal purposes and may conduct litigation on their behalf by making applications to the court, writing letters in litigation to the client's opponent, and so on. A barrister is not an attorney and is usually forbidden, either by law or professional rules or both, from "conducting" litigation. This means that, while the barrister speaks on the client's behalf in court, he or she can do so only when instructed by a solicitor or certain other qualified professional clients, such as patent agents.
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
bar′is-tėr, n. one who is qualified to plead at the bar in an English or Irish law-court.—adj. Barristēr′ial.—n. Bar′ristership.—Revising barrister, a barrister appointed annually by the English judges to revise the lists and settle who are the persons entitled to vote for members of parliament. [From barra, bar, the suffix being undetermined.]
Chaldean Numerology

Sample Sentences & Example Usage
The matter was set to be heard before Christmas but there was a sick barrister and Nick asked me to agree to a delay, and now it's all kind of blown up in his face.
You mold your style according the presidential requirements, i was a lawyer, a barrister who went to court every day. Every judge is different and you adapt your argument according to the judge so it sort of comes naturally. Howman, who often represented athletes in New Zealand who could not afford his services and paid in cricket bats and All-Blacks rugby jerseys, has been there through all the highs and lows. When WADA opened in 2003, drugs in sport had already become a worldwide epidemic and fair play was merely a quaint idea. Doping was firmly entrenched in the sporting culture, largely tolerated, if not tacitly accepted, by those who competed in everything from cycling's Tour de France to baseball's World Series. With no meaningful out-of-competition testing, a mish-mash of sanctions and banned substance lists, entrepreneurs such as BALCO mastermind Victor Conte operated in near impunity, pushing out designer steroids faster than tests could be developed to detect them. From a small headquarters in Montreal, WADA has grown into a global agency with four regional offices and 35 laboratories, although four are currently under suspension.

Semicolon Cancer
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
edit How to Self-Check for Semicolon Cancer
The following are some of the most common symptoms of Semicolon Cancer:
- Loss of Appetite
- Going into a Comma
- Massive Periods (even in males)
- Swollen Semicolon
- Loss of your appendix
- Random and unprovoked ejaculation
If you are experiencing more than one of the following, contact your doctor and schedule an appointment immediately!
edit What You Should do if You Aren't Experiencing any of the above Symptoms but Still Think you have Semicolon Cancer
You can go to an experienced Semicolon professional and get an X-ray (as my family doctor has said so many times). Too bad my doctor isn't and experienced Semicolon professional (he claims he is, but trust me, do not believe him, no seriously don't).
"In order to test for Semicolon Cancer, I suggest you find a professional who knows what he is doing. If you do not know anyone with experience in semicolons, however, here is my suggestion to you. Grab a large Q-tip, and rub the inside of your Semicolon. If it comes out red, or cannot fit in your semicolon at all, I suggest you find an experienced Semicolon Professional (like me) to check it out immediately."
If you follow that, and get yourself checked regularly, you shouldn't ever have a problem with your semicolon.
edit Things You Should Not Do if you have Semicolon Cancer
If you do, however, develop a problem with your semicolon, these are the things you should not do.
- Try to perform Self Surgery
- Light your semicolon on fire
- Make penis jokes in an attempt to cheer it up
- Ask it politely to leave
- Ask it rudely to leave
- Bribe it
- Complain
All of those things will Irritate your Semicolon Cancer, in which it will give off an Odorous Green Gas, sometimes known as SemiFlatulation, or a Demifart.
edit Known Causes of Semicolon Cancer
There are numerous things that can cause Semicolon Cancer, but since the list is so long that we had to shorten it to the top five. If you wanted a longer list, then see Everything.
2. Corn Husking
3. Political Debates
4. School
5. Having a history of Semicolon problems in your Family.

He's equally excited, you see, about the little people - the NPC characters lower down the food chain who may not hold the future of an entire daedric realm in their hands, but are at least entertaining in their own little mentalist ways. There's the chap you come across who's afraid to sleep in his own house in case the walls fall in and crush him, for example, who asks you to find him a truly safe place to sleep.
There's the mad woman in the wilderness who is obsessed by having one of everything in the world - from creatures to objects - and whose whims you can only satisfy if you've got a couple of aeons to spare. A more professional obsessive, meanwhile, runs and gives tours around the Museum of Oddities, to which you are asked to become a donor as the amount of bizarre and useless objects in your inventory starts to build up.
Speaking of which, more obsessive fans will be delighted to hear that Shivering Isles is due to be the first Elder Scrolls game to find a use for calipers - the heretofore useless household implements that have been found (and left) inside the barrels and chests of Tamriel for countless ages.

Ask The Players:
Connecticut Sun Answer Fan Questions
Megan Mahoney
Q. What are your practices like everyday and how do you
guys focus on the game ahead in the playoffs even if it doesn't mean much?
- Joey, Stratford, CT
"Well, every practice I come in just trying to learn from the veterans. I'm following KT (Douglas) and Kesh (Nykesha Sales) so it's hard I have to go battle against them every day in practice. I'm just trying to get better every day and learn something new."
Q. I would love
to know what you guys do the day before an away game? I would also love to know
what you guys think of your New York Liberty friends seeing they only have Becky
Hammon? Thanks and I can't wait to see you guys here in Indiana on July 1st
- Lauren, Brownsburg, CT
"Usually, I just like to walk around and check out what's downtown. Find a nice little restaurant and grab a bite to eat. I just try to relax and take in the sights."
Laura Summerton
Q. What do you think of the league, and your fellow
aussies in the league... past and present?
- Risa, Phoenix, AZ
"I think it's fabulous. It's good to see an Australian when you go and play them. As much as you don't really want to play against people like Lauren Jackson or Penny Taylor, who is not here this year. They're such tough players but it's great to see a friendly face from home. We get to chat about what's going on back home."
What is the most important thing you have learned from your experiences of the
past two years; in pursuit of a Championship?
"I think it's really important to be together as a team. You can't win a basketball game with just one or two players. Everyone has to work well together and put in 100 percent together every day whether you're shooting, practicing, everything."
What is the funniest thing that has happened to you since joining the team?
- Melissa, New Haven, CT
"Well, it would have to be my first game (in 2005). I accidentally took off my top. Well, we're used to body suits in Australia so when you take off your warm-up jersey you don't need to worry about taking off your singlet as well. Yeah, definitely that moment."
Q. What
are the superstitions of each player on the team? Who is the most superstitious?
- Lyss, CT
"I think my superstitions come and go. If I've had a good game, I might wear the same hair elastic or do the same things I did the game before. But then I sort of leave it if it doesn't work. I'm not really sure (if there's one person who is the most superstitious). Like, everyone has their routine before a game and I think routines are good, because then you're ready to go (for gametime). I think Lindsay (Whalen) might have a couple but I don't know if they are actually superstitions or just routines pre-game."
HUGE FAN OF THE SUN! I wanted to know what you guys do in your free time when

"Every so often, it feels like a little bubble is in my spine. The bubble ascends slowly (and very, very painfully), all the way up my spine, and seems to "pop" when it reaches the base of my neck. Any idea what this is?"

Gouge History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Early Origins of the Gouge family
Roxburghshire. One of the first records of the name was found in France alluding to its Norman heritage: Martin Gouge (c. 1360-1444), a French chancellor. However, some of the family were found further south at Billesley in Warwickshire in early times. "The estate was afterwards possessed by Bishop Sherlock, through whose sister, who married Sir Thomas Gooch (1674-1754), Bishop of Ely, it passed into the Gooch family." [1]CITATION[CLOSE]

The Gouge Motto
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Audaces juvat
Motto Translation: Fortune favours the bold.
