Return Fills Biggest Void In Team History
Ira Kaufman,
The Tampa Tribune
, published 17 December 2007
Micheal Spurlock was running into Buccaneer history at 1:29 p.m. Sunday and all eyes at Raymond James Stadium were on him. Well, not all. "I was jumping up and down, but one of my brothers was in the bathroom at the time," Bucs executive vice president Joel Glazer said after Spurlock raced 90 yards for the first kickoff return for a touchdown in the franchise's 32-year history. "Today was an example of what's been happening all season - contributions coming from all directions."
Tampa Bay's streak of futility covered six American presidents and all seven Buc head coaches before Spurlock ended the suspense early in a 37-3 rout of the Falcons. Special teams coach Rich Bisaccia, who took the blame for a 97-yard kickoff return by Houston's Andre Davis last week, scampered along the sidelines in step with Spurlock, who outraced safety Lewis Sanders into the end zone to put the Bucs ahead 14-3 in the opening quarter.
Bisaccia received a celebratory cup of water poured over his head before Ronde Barber came by to offer a heartfelt hug to mark the auspicious occasion. By the time Bisaccia shared an embrace with his son, Richie, it was time to make sure Tampa Bay's proper personnel were on the field to add Matt Bryant's extra point. "I'm so happy for Rich Bisaccia," Chris Hovan said. "I know I was out there trying to keep up with Spurlock on our sidelines ... but he's way too fast for me."
Bisaccia, who joined the Bucs in 2002, tried to keep his focus a few hours after Spurlock shook his world. "Everyone was smacking me around pretty good, which is a great feeling and I would take it anytime," Bisaccia said. "But don't forget about the guys that made big blocks in front of Spurlock. For every coach here who has been standing in my shoes, I thought of all of them today - and all the guys who have been part of the kickoff return teams through the years."
Even John Wade turned emotional when discussing the impact of Spurlock's historic return. "I've been hearing about it since I became a Buccaneer," Wade said. "Believe me, it's not like something we don't know about. Rich stays on top of us, so I'm happy for the special teams unit, for Rich and for Rich's family. It's going to be better at his house tonight."
It was a productive day overall for Tampa Bay's special teams, which limited Atlanta to zero return yards in Josh Bidwell's four punts and only 125 yards in six kickoff returns. In erasing an enormous void in their franchise record book, the Bucs no longer will have to endure weekly questions about it. Spurlock's return now makes the Philadelphia Eagles the holders of the current longest drought without a touchdown on kickoff returns. The Eagles have gone 119 straight games without scoring on a kickoff return, dating to Brian Mitchell's 94-yarder on the opening kickoff of a 21-7 win against Arizona on Nov. 4, 2001.
That's 393 consecutive kickoff returns without a touchdown for the Eagles. "As I saw Micheal Spurlock running down that field today, I knew one thing," linebacker and special teams player Ryan Nece said, "a monkey was getting pulled off a lot of people's backs around here."

Very few people are on the fence about Tom DeLay, who was nicknamed "the Hammer" for his hard-charging, take-no-prisoners style of leadership. Liberals despise him, but for conservatives he;s a hero: one of the architects of the 1994 Republican revolution. For 12 years afterward, he was the driving force of the Republican majority in the House of Representatives.
"Interesting work."

A federal judge blocked the ridiculous law that North Dakota legislators passed last session that sought to create the strictest abortion limitations in the nation. The North Dakota legislators knew the legislation would face a constitutional challenge, so they created a $400,000 defense fund. To-date, Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem's office has expended $155,000 defending the most recent law and $234,597 overall (since 2012) on abortion related litigation. Despite Stenehjem's otherwise strong record of being able to effectively litigate to protect North Dakotans, there are some cases that are not winnable.
Come now, let's be sensible about this. I know the state has money to burn, but can't we find better ways to burn it? I can think of dozens of noteworthy programs that could use such funding. How about throwing some of that seemingly disposable money at sex education programs? How about educating toward the goal of reducing abortion as opposed to legislating and litigating toward it?
The new North Dakota legislation is not going to crack Roe vs. Wade. All pursuing an appeal of the judge's decision will do is reiterate the stupidity in the passage of such legislation to begin with. This approach will not reduce abortion.
Legislators, be sensible. You would not let the government reach into your gun cabinet and tell you what to do with your guns, but you want to reach into a woman's uterus and tell her what she should do with it? Plus, you want to add insult to injury by spending a whole lot of state money to facilitate your intrusion. Can we talk fiscal responsibility? Can we talk about the public trust placed in you as a government representative and the expectations that go along with that trust?
The abortion legislation will not pass constitutional muster. Roe vs. Wade will not be changed by a Supreme Court review of North Dakota's law. The State of North Dakota should stop wasting money and time on this futile enterprise. We have more important matters to focus on in the state (if you need a list of these important matters legislators, please feel free to contact me). Move on Bette Grande…move on.

I really don't know wherefrom comes the name Garolès.
The small summits you're speaking of are the Zumeles ridge (Crepe de Zumèles), on the E side of Pomagagnon and where only 2 summits have their own name : Pala Peròsego and Campanile Peròsego - the height of the rocky walls is 90-150m and on these walls there are some routes opened by Scoiattoli di Cortina
SzaniUherkovich - Aug 24, 2011 8:45 am - Hasn't votedRe: Zumeles
Hi Gabriele,
I'm not a local from Cortina, so I must base my knowledge on what I see and from the maps I have. In this case the name came from the map Freitag&Berndt map S10. It gives the name "Garòles" for the highest summit (2230 m) of this section of mountain. On this section I mean east to Forcella de Zumeles. My map indicates the ridge WEST to the forcella as Crepe de Zumeles. East to the saddle it also mentions Perósego Fedéra (so similar name as Pala Peròsego and Campanile Peròsego).
I can imagine that the mountain or its peaks have multiple nominations. There are cases for that: like for example Orgelspitze and Laaser Spitze in Ortles Group indicate the same summit. Perhaps this is the case here, too. Or the map editor made a mistake.
If you have a better guaranteed for the mountain or for its highest summit (the one with 2230 m height), then I'm happy to correct its title on SP, also mentioning Garoles as an alternative name.
If you have information also about the climbing routes, I'm happy to add this information.
Cheers, Szani
Gabriele Roth - Aug 24, 2011 10:36 am - Voted 10/10Re: Zumeles
ok, let's make some close examination :
the E part of the Pomagagnon group, starting from Punta Erbing, is named "Crepe di Zumeles" and is made of :
a small summit (unnamed - 2165m), Forcella Zumeles (2072m), Pala Peròsego (2230m), an unnamed deep crack, Campanile Peròsego, an unnamed ridge going down to Somforca.
I've never heard (and found) the Garòles name in Cortina maps, books or other so I think it could be the typical mistake due to the bad use of german topographs to rename Italian mountains without getting local info : the best example is the Campanile Basso di Brenta that Germans know as "Guglia di Brenta".
If you enter Garòles in Google or Yahoo you can find only your page, photos and our messages :)
believe me ... this minigroup is the eastern part of Crepe de Zumeles
some useful links (in Italian of course) found entering Perosego in Google
about the routes I made a search in internet :
here I found
2 ottobre 1973: Pala di Perosego (Pomagagnon), parete sud, Raniero Valleferro, Alberto Dallago, 120 m, 6° gr. sup., 7 ore, 40 chiodi.
11 maggio 1968: Pala di Perosego (Pomagagnon), spigolo sud («spigolo Armando»), Diego Valleferro e Mario Dimai, 200 m, 6°gr., 5 ore, 35 chiodi.
29 giugno 1055: Campanile Perosego (Pomagagnon), Candido Bellodis, Beniamino Franceschi, Elio Valleferro, 4° gr. 1,30 ore, 2 chiodi.
ciao :)

Perhaps the best will be if I re-work it with the name of Pala Peròsego. A bit later because now I'm busy for company work...

Companies will typically tack on a fee ranging from anywhere between 45 cents to $2 onto purchases made with credit cards, particularly if the transaction's value is less than a predetermined amount, according to a report from Visalia, California, television station KMPH. This practice is illegal in the state.
However, the state does allow for similar fees on debit card transactions, and also allows businesses to grant discounts to those consumers who opt to make payments in cash, the report said. This practice is often used to help defray the costs of processing fees charged by credit networks for accepting a card transaction, which can cost even small businesses tens of thousands of dollars annually.
Recently, the Federal Reserve Board imposed a limit on the amount of money payment processing networks could charge for debit transactions. As a consequence, many financial institutions are now working to generate new revenues and cut costs, according to My Bank Tracker. Some have opted to eliminate programs such as free checking accounts, while others will cut their debit cards spending rewards programs. In all, the regulatory change is expected to cost banks billions of dollars.

The Aryan Brotherhood, which is also known as "AB" or "The Brand," is a primarily white prison gang with about 15,000 members in and out of prison. According to the FBI, the gang makes up only one percent of the prison population, but is responsible for 18 percent of all murders in the federal corrections system. Members use symbols in their tattoos such as swastikas, SS lightning bolts, the number 666, and Celtic imagery.
One afternoon about five years ago, I was summoned from my desk at the detective division of a major Southern California urban sheriff's department and asked to meet one of the staff drill instructors at our academy gymnasium.
It seems a quaint idea now, but before 9/11, the leading culprits for launching major terror attacks on American soil were hate groups and other domestic terrorists. These people are flat dangerous, especially to law enforcement officers who might get in their way.
Although other types of racism certainly exist, we will focus on this pervasive form of bigotry often called 'white supremacy.'
Skinhead membership has traditionally drawn from dysfunctional working-class families, and it appears that many skinheads come from broken homes. Members can be as young as 13 and as old as 25. They typically possess average intelligence, but are often poorly educated.

"I wish there was some way to magically bottle up the rest, energy, and calm I experience during breaks, and spread it out over the workweek."
I've only had to work 1/2 a day since Friday, February 5th. Huge snowstorms have kept me snowed in, warm and cozy by the fire.
It'll be nice to get back into a normal routine, but I have to admit this long "snow break" has been wonderful. I've been able to work out every day, clean the house sporadically as needed, read quietly by the fire, and I have even found some time to do arts and crafts.
Last Thursday, I began thinking about devising a plan to help me magically bottle up this feeling of rest, energy, and calm for the workweek.
There is actually no magic to it. Just simple common sense, science, and good ole fashion will power.
I've decided to take it slow and work on one piece of the puzzle at a time. My goal for this week is rest.
I have the hardest time falling asleep at night. I toss and turn, and my mind races about a million miles an hour. I think about all of the things I have to do, all of the things I didn't get to that I should have, what I'm going to wear the next day, all of the mistakes I've made over the past 28 years, etc., etc., etc…….
It is a serious problem.
I feel that until I tackle this problem I will never be able to achieve the other two. It is impossible to feel full of energy if you have not rested well. You can not feel calm if you are dragging yourself around trying to accomplish the day's tasks.
So, here is the plan:
1. Begin my night time routine no later than 9:30 PM.
Each night I do the usual get-ready-for-bed routine. I wash my face, moisturize, take out my contacts, brush my teeth, make Sleepy Time Tea, etc. But I do not always do this at the same time every night.
Hopefully, this new, scheduled routine will let my body know that it is time to wind down.
2. Turn the TV off no later than 10:30 PM every single night.
This is seriously one of the worst habits that I have developed since college. Because night time seems to be when my thoughts are most active and uncontrollable, I have taken to falling asleep watching TV. If I am listening to a show, I am less likely to be driving myself crazy with mental to-dos.
However, this has created quite a different effect. It does calm my mind, but I often end up staying up late listening to TV!
3. If I wake in the middle of the night, I will acknowledge my thoughts by writing them down. If I find that I am still awake after 30 minutes, I will read until I feel that I am unable to keep my eyes open.
Enough said 🙂
This list is short and sweet for the time being. I'm sure I'll face further obstacles in this quest for better rest, but I'll handle them as they come. This week I plan on chronicling my journal for a more restful night.
By getting enough rest, I feel I will more easily be able to attain my second and third goal: increased energy and a stronger sense of calm.
Do you have trouble falling asleep at night? What do you do when you are having difficulties?

"Maladina Ammendments"?
April 30 2010 at 12:53 PM
No score for this post
could anyone in the student leadership, both SRC and NUS, give us some briefs or details on the exercise currently being undertaken on the "Maladina Ammendments"?
Would indeed be a great service to the country because a lot of people from all walks of life do not reaaly know what its all about.
Students and staff, including those from high schools and colleages and everyone one else, both in-country and overseas may wish to know, express their views, discuss, thus be more informed to take the right position/actions.
...instead of the usual petty gossip on mundane petty matters i see posted here most of the time.

We advise men prescribed testosterone medication to be fully aware of the risks of cardiovascular events and discuss potential side effects with a doctor before beginning treatment.
San Antonio, TX (PRWEB) April 01, 2014
In the wake of multiple news reports and studies indicating a link between testosterone therapy medication and increased risk of heart attack, stroke and death, drug recall attorney Jorge Herrera of the Herrera Law Firm, Inc., says he hopes all men undergoing such treatment understand the risks involved.
According to Texas Public Radio ("Popular Testosterone Therapy May Raise Risk Of Heart Attack," January 30), studies published in medical journals such as PLOS One reveal that men taking testosterone therapy medication may face two to three times the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular events as men who don't take testosterone drugs.
"Although the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved testosterone therapy medication to treat low testosterone levels in men, better known as 'low-T,' the agency recently announced it is investigating the risks outlined by these studies," Herrera said. "We advise men prescribed testosterone medication to be fully aware of the risks of cardiovascular events and discuss potential side effects with a doctor before beginning treatment. We have handled cases involving injuries from pharmaceutical products, and many times people said they were not aware of the risks until it was too late."
Texas Public Radio said a study published in PLOS One ("Increased Risk of Non-Fatal Myocardial Infarction Following Testosterone Therapy Prescription in Men," January 29) revealed men over 65 to have a two-fold increase in heart attack risk within 90 days of filling an initial prescription for testosterone medication. In addition, Texas Public Radio said the study – which analyzed over 55,000 adult males in a large health-care database – also found men under 65 with a history of heart disease to have a two- to three-fold increase of heart attack.
According to the article, this is not the first time that testosterone medication has been linked to adverse side effects. According to studies published in the New England Journal of Medicine ("Adverse Events Associated with Testosterone Administration," July 8, 2010), older men who were on testosterone replacement therapy faced an elevated risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular problems. Texas Public Radio indicates the study was halted earlier than expected due to the seriousness of these risks.
"Drug companies have a responsibility to provide patients and doctors with all information necessary about testosterone drug side effects and update product warning labels as necessary. When they don't, it's possible that men taking these dangerous drugs could suffer adverse side effects such as heart attack, stroke, or even death," Herrera said. "Any man who has had a stroke or heart attack after testosterone treatment – or anyone who lost a loved one undergoing treatment – should seek the advice of legal counsel as soon as possible."

According to Google, just because your site is manually penalized, it does not mean that your site will vanish from the rankings. In fact, it may not hurt it much at all in some cases. A lot of that depends on you, the webmaster, and the other signals you've managed to send the search engine.
In a Google Webmaster Central forum thread (via Search Engine Roundtable), a webmaster discussed being denied his 4th reconsideration request, and Google Webmaster Trends analyst John Mueller had some interesting words. For that guy's specific story, you can view the thread, but that's not really the point. Here's what Mueller said:
The primary manual action that is affecting your site is that these unnatural links are being ignored. This is more or less in line with the spreadsheet that you have submitted, and would generally not be affecting the other links to your site. That said, while these things may have been counting for your site in the past, they no longer are -- so it's possible that you'd see some effect in your site's crawling, indexing, and ranking. Past that, keep in mind that the manual action here might not be the strongest element affecting your site's performance, we use over 200 factors in our crawling, indexing, and ranking, and regularly announce updates (such as http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.ch/2012/04/another-step-to-reward-high-quality.html ). My recommendation would be to not focus so much on this specific manual action, but instead to work to make sure that your site (and how it interacts with users and the rest of the web) is the best it can possibly be. Emphasis added.
The manual action is just one thing Google is taking into consideration. If you have enough other positive signals going your way (or can at least gain some), it's possible that Google's manual penalty will have little effect on your site's rankings.
Speaking of signals, Google is about due to put out its monthly (at least it used to be monthly) list of algorithm changes. We have yet to see August's changes, and September is almost over. Last time, they released two months' worth of lists at the same time. Perhaps we'll see them do that again. It seems likely at this point. Or who knows, maybe they'll wait and give 3 months' worth next time.

I would like to make a quilt
as heavy as those vests you have to wear
when they take your x ray at the dentist
only full of small flowers instead of lead
like a lavender potpourri,
but big enough to cover my entire bed
and me as well.
No reason for this.
No marketing plan.
Just think it would feel nice.
Like being hugged
by a giant friend.

Oh ok Well looks like will have to download them manually.
I know that one. Nah some time ago it was part of XPCreate. It downloaded all updates from website .
Lost program
czaja74 posted a topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003I'm back after a long break and see lots of new stuff. However I cant find a small program that was downloading all hotfixes for win XP it was really great utility. I have tried search but I cant remember a name of it. Anyone have link to it please.
I feel it too. And beside of this many people helped with program by testing it providing feedback. I was helping in a very early stage of development and spent few long nites reinstalling 4-6 times whole windows. I dont think this program would get this far without comunity support. I dont blame anyone but I'm tired with it. Good luck with a program. I think i will be happy with the way I always was doing it.
Hey, at least you got a reply even if it was a rejection for some unknown and never to be spoken in public places reason. That's more than they have been nice enough to do to me. Maybe I messed up the 'test' so bad that I didn't rate a reply even though I, like you, filled it out to best adhere to one of the many ways one could read into the rules and regulations. The last message on this thread suggests filling it out to the many ways that it can be read to mean. That way, we might get lucky and get one way right. I just don't understand why, if you fail the 'test', why they can't just be nice enough to tell you exactly what you did wrong instead of all this secrecy. What did David call it..... COURTESY! I thought M$ took the cake with their stupid activation scheme but I think this one is giving M$ a run for the money when it comes to all this crazy do this and do that, pass this test and jump that bar while holding one hand behind you back and rubbing your tummy type of stupid getting the right to use much less get your hands on the package scheme. At least M$ will tell you up front exactly why you didn't pass the stupid little exam so you know exactly where to put your attention next time take the exam. Here, it seems all you get is: --> one, or more, of the following reasons: - Incomplete Personal Information - Incorrect order of request text: Personal Information, "I agree" Statement, EULA - Unacceptable email address - Unacceptable Personal Information Now, that really tells you a hell of a lot about what you supposed to have done wrong on your little exam. PPC <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sorry but done all that. I put my name and surname my ISSP email address Agreed with EULA and pasted whole lot as instructed. I'm not comp about it but I think it will be best for all if we got format righ. One think that comes to my mind is that i maybe should delete informations for company since I want only freeware. Buut I couldnt find anything at all. @ Dave Whitley Thanks for taking a time and a long reply. @doberman.pk Nah not sarcasm or criticism. The reason I have posted is to get it right so GM will have lesser headache and we get a chance to try XPC.
Nah the problem is I got reply today and it said: ...All requests for Usernames and Passwords are handled semi-automatically, and your request could not be processed for one, or more, of the following reasons: - Incomplete Personal Information - Incorrect order of request text: Personal Information, "I agree" Statement, EULA - Unacceptable email address - Unacceptable Personal Information ...........

czaja74 replied to fly2try's topic in Windows XPActually it still does it. After some time it will add new program if that program was used more often that one one the list.
Thanks I will give it a try.
I have asked that question before. I have a backup HDD in removable rack. I wanted to put all files there and make as a bootable HDD or boot from floppy and point to setup so it would install from HDD. I think it will be much faster to do HDD install than installing from CD. Well.... After many tries and no help I gave up
czaja74 replied to Shadow_Fi's topic in Windows XPOutpost and Norton corporate all the way down. Didn't let me down even once.
Pionting to the installation files on HDD
czaja74 posted a topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003Here is what I want to do but I dont know how. I want to be able to boot PC from the FDD or from the CD but have somthing that would point to the installation files on the HDD and actually install from there. I would like to use winnt.sif as well. Anyone has an idea how to do it? Will something like this work or I will need to change something else? E:\InstallationCD\I386\winnt32.exe/unattend:E:\InstallationCD\I386\winnt.sif I'm not sure if I didnt miss any spaces. And also what I should put on that floppy to make it works?

Electroactive Bisiminopyridine Ligands: Synthesis and Complexation Studies
AbstractThe condensation reaction of (4-(6,7-dimethyldithio-tetrathiafulvalene)-aniline) with 2,6-diformylpyridine afforded an electroactive Schiff base (N,N,N) pincer (3). This pincer was reacted with Zn(II) cation to yield the corresponding Zinc chloride complex (4). The crystal structure of the newly prepared electroactive zinc complex reveals that the tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) is neutral and the zinc cation is pentacoordinated. The two chlorines are involved in a set of hydrogen bonds giving rise to a 2D supramolecular grid arrangement. The electronic absorption properties and the electrochemical behavior have been elucidated. These two compounds are promising for the construction of crystalline radical cation salts. View Full-Text

Sneak-in thieves have stolen hundreds of pounds worth of property in Doncaster during the past few days after residents left homes insecure.
Computers and a purse were taken from a house at Station Road, Norton, between 11pm on Thursday and 7.30am Friday. The culprits entered through an unlocked front door.
Burglars got into a home at Hazel Grove, Conisbrough, via an open conservatory window between 1.43am and 7.30am on Friday. They stole computers then exited through a door as the key had been left in the lock.
And a resident at Troon Road, Hatfield, left a door unlocked while they cut the lawn, leaving the way clear for an offender who stole jewellery and an Xbox sometime between 9.20am and 9.50am yesterday.
Commented Superintendent Eddie Murphy, of South Yorkshire Police: "We just keep making it easy for criminals. Unfortunately there are people out there who are just waiting for an opportunity and for that lapse in taking basic security measures."
The Force launched Operation Lockdown last October to combat house burglary and vehicle crime. So far, more than 1,400 suspects have been arrested.

In 1985 Hordes, having grown frustrated with the paper-pushing life of a state bureaucrat, quit his job and started a private consulting business, taking on investigations for the U.S. Forest Service and other agencies and individuals embroiled in land disputes with the local populace. He also began spending more and more time promoting his growing belief that Sephardic crypto-Judaism had survived four centuries of secrecy in the Southwest. The proposition, if true, was astonishing. And it held enormous appeal for Jews elsewhere in the United States, still grappling with the legacy of the Holocaust and eager for stories about Jewish survival against all odds. Soon a freelance radio producer in Albuquerque named Benjamin Shapiro heard about Hordes and the crypto-Jews and, along with a Denver producer named Nan Rubin, interviewed people Hordes and others put them in touch with. Their documentary aired in 1987 on National Public Radio. During the next few years hundreds of people called to buy tapes of the show. Stories about the crypto-Jews proliferated in the domestic and international press. Stanley Hordes was interviewed by The New York Times, CNN, and the Jerusalem Post.
Y the early 1990s Latinos by the dozens from New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, and Arizona were coming forward with tales of a Jewish past. At conferences and in Internet forums they recalled playing with toys resembling dreidels (the four-sided tops associated with Hanukkah) as children. They reported that their parents had baked a flat, unleavened bread in the spring. They remembered mothers and grandmothers calling out on their deathbeds, "Children, we are really Israelites."
Isabelle Medina Sandoval had such memories. She spent her childhood, during the 1950s and 1960s, in Laramie, Wyoming, but her parents, grandparents, and cousins hailed from a village in the Mora Valley, between Taos and Santa Fe. Sandoval's mother and father left New Mexico after World War II to find work. As Sandoval wrote in one of many autobiographical essays, the family wanted to live in Denver but was unable to find an apartment, because landlords wouldn't rent to "Mexicans." In Laramie the Sandovals settled in a modest neighborhood of Anglos and fellow Hispanos who had likewise migrated north.
Isabelle Sandoval's skin has a vaguely olive cast, and her eyelids are slightly hooded. Today she reads a lot into these features. She says that when she was a child people used to comment on her appearance. One person told her she looked Sephardic, before she knew what that word meant. In Laramie, Sandoval always felt different, not just from the Anglo kids but from Hispanos as well. Like many introspective children, she wondered about her true origins. Once, on a visit to the family village, she proclaimed to her grandfather that their family was mestizo. He grew agitated and vehemently denied having Native American blood: "We are Spaniards!" he proclaimed. It was the only time she ever saw him get angry. Years later Sandoval began to feel that she understood his protestations after she attended a talk by Stanley Hordes.
As Sandoval listened to Hordes describe unusual customs and gravestone markings, she began rethinking her past. Her family had avoided Catholic mass and shown no interest in the Catholic saints. This made some sense -- although her father was Catholic, her mother was Protestant -- but in addition, the family hardly celebrated Christmas. Sandoval recalled her parents' drinking wine whose label showed people sitting around a table in "funny little hats" -- that is, yarmulkes. She asked why they were drinking Jewish wine. Because it was "clean," she was told. After hearing about the New Mexico crypto-Jews, Sandoval concluded that "clean" meant "kosher."
Juan Sandoval is apparently no relation to Isabelle, but his family, too, comes from the Mora Valley -- in his case, from the village of Mora. Like Isabelle, Juan had Protestants in his family, and he, too, wondered about his roots. He made his living as a folk artist: along with his wife and children, he fashioned Christmas wreaths and ceramics with Native American motifs. The family led a gypsy existence, moving frequently throughout the Southwest and in and out of Mexico. In the late 1980s they were in Mora again, on a small ranch inherited from Juan's father. That is when Juan first heard of the crypto-Jews of New Mexico. For reasons that remain unclear, he became convinced that he was a Jew. His wife started buying him kosher chickens from Colorado, even though the Sandovals were already raising chickens on their ranch. She bought him Jewish ritual items, such as the white prayer shawl called a tallith and candles to be lit on Friday night, the sabbath eve.
Stanley Hordes met Isabelle Sandoval and Juan Sandoval on separate occasions in the early 1990s. By then he was helping to organize a new group, the Society for Crypto-Judaic Studies, which facilitated connections among people who suspected that they were descended from crypto-Jews. Isabelle found out about Juan. She also found out about Loggie Carrasco, an elderly woman who claimed to belong to a clan that has practiced crypto-Judaism for generations in an old neighborhood in Albuquerque. Carrasco said the clan was descended from Manuel Carrasco, who had been prosecuted in Mexico in the seventeenth century after the Inquisition discovered that he carried bits of matzoh under his hat. Loggie Carrasco displayed a family heirloom she said dated from colonial times: a rosary with its cross removed. Some of her relatives recited ancient prayers and folk rhymes that Carrasco said were Sephardic. Other people with ancestors from the neighborhood remembered the practice of hanging goats upside down after slaughter in order to make the meat kosher by draining the blood. Hordes interviewed some of these people and brought reporters to meet them. The reporters wrote their stories. The stories attracted more stories.
Soon, however, Carrasco and others grew reluctant to speak with outsiders. They complained that Ashkenazic Jews looked down on Spanish-speaking Sephardim. Synagogue congregations, the crypto-Jews said, were often suspicious and unfriendly. So were many reporters, who seemed skeptical about the claims. Researchers, too, seemed insensitive to these anusim -- an ancient Hebrew word meaning "people who have been forced," used for Jews made to abandon their religion. The word soon became the term of choice for the Southwest's crypto-Jews.
Some of these self-styled anusim came to conferences of the Society for Crypto-Judaic Studies, and to presentations that Hordes gave at Haddassah socials, Hillel meetings, Jewish historical-society lectures, and Lion's Club luncheons. Among the other attendees at these events were elderly Ashkenazim whose East Coast, vaguely Yiddish-edged voices clashed with the remnant-Spanish accents of the anusim. Many of the attendees were retirees who had moved to the anti-allergenic deserts of Albuquerque and Phoenix. Some were on Elderhostel-style vacations from New York, New Jersey, and Florida. A few were members of Kulanu, a Jewish group dedicated to finding "lost" co-religionists in exotic places.
When Hordes gave talks at conferences or sat for media interviews, he refused to reveal the identities or whereabouts of his crypto-Jewish informants, citing the New Mexicans' discomfort. In his slide shows of gravestones with Stars of David, the names of the dead were blocked out, and Hordes would not say where the burial sites were located. Secrecy was necessary, he said, because anusim had been hurt by meddling outsiders. They also needed privacy to deal with family members who could not or would not admit their Judaism. Reporters and researchers accepted that they would not be doing their own fact-checking. Hordes and a handful of vocal and prickly anusim thus became the primary sources of information about southwestern crypto-Judaism.

Poetry by Isabelle Medina Sandoval
Isabelle Sandoval and Juan Sandoval were among this handful. By the mid-1990s both had undergone a ceremony called the rite of return, performed for Jews who come back to Judaism after having been forced to give it up. (The rabbi who performed the ritual later officiated at the funeral of Barry Goldwater, another ancestral Jew whose family abandoned the faith -- though in this case by choice.) Isabelle Sandoval helped to found a support group for people who considered themselves crypto-Jews. She began appearing at conferences, where she would read poems she had written, in a high, didactic voice. The poems had confrontational titles ("Contemporary Inquisition" was one, "Trial" was another) and tortured, angry verses:
On the border I
Juan Sandoval reconceived his folk-art offerings. He scrapped his Native American and Christmas inventory and replaced it with hardened-clay menorahs and "chia" rabbis whose beards contained seeds that sprouted when watered. The new line sold well in Judaica gift shops, and Sandoval began supplementing his earnings with honoraria for lectures about his hidden past. In 1996 he spoke at the annual meeting of the Society for Crypto-Judaic Studies, in Albuquerque, and was introduced by his new name: Yehoshuah ben Avraham. The audience listened raptly as he described how his father, a Catholic, had kidnapped him after learning that his grandmother was a secret Jew, and how, years later, when he discovered his roots, neighbors shot at his family and forced him to sell his property, which he said was worth $1 million, for only $65,000. Juan illustrated his story with a photograph of the family cemetery in Mora. In the center was a gravestone with a Star of David.
Inside and outside these conferences tales about crypto-Jews in the Southwest became commonplace. Most were prosaic and full of stereotypes: speculation, for instance, that one's parents or grandparents were Jewish because they were successful merchants, or were tight with money, or liked to read books. Some were more intriguing. Frances Hernández, an English professor at the University of Texas at El Paso, wrote that Catholics in New Mexico were venerating "Saint Esther" -- named after the heroine of the Jewish Purim story. Stanley Hordes talked of diagnoses in Latinos of a rare skin disease, pemphigus vulgaris, which he said was prevalent among Jews. And covert rabbis, Hordes said, may still be hiding in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
The stories fueled more reporting, including another National Public Radio segment, and brought more work for Hordes. In 1994 he was a member of the "faculty" for a package tour that advertised a chance to meet "descendants of the 'Hidden Jews' of the Southwest." Tour members could chat with Hispanos claiming blood kinship with Gómez Robledo, the sixteenth-century New Mexican soldier accused of having a tail. Meanwhile, Simcha Jacobovici, a Jewish documentary filmmaker from Canada, came to New Mexico to make a movie that was later released under the title Expulsion and Memory. For his film interview Stanley Hordes traded his usual professor's garb for a work shirt, open at the throat, and an Indiana Jones hat. Isabelle Sandoval donned a fuzzy vest with Santa Fe-style Indian geometrics.
VEN as Hordes and the Sandovals were riding a wave of celebrity, an undercurrent of trouble was gathering force. The problems had started in 1992, when an Indiana University graduate student named Judith Neulander arrived in New Mexico with notebooks, cassette tapes, and hopes of pursuing her own research in crypto-Jewish studies.

"Conversos Surfacing Among Southwest's Hispanics,"
by Sarah Wildman, The Jewish Forward, (May 30, 1997)
Judith Neulander was already a middle-aged woman when she entered Indiana University, in 1989, to work on a doctorate in folklore. Before that, she had earned master's degrees in folklore and Jewish studies. She had been married and divorced. She had grown up in more-than-comfortable circumstances; her Ashkenazic parents were American, but her father worked as an economist with a European cartel that owned Mexico's electric-power industry before it was nationalized. The family lived in a heavily Jewish neighborhood in Mexico City. Neulander had hung around with the servants, spoken Spanish with them, and gone to mass at their churches.
In the late 1980s, when Neulander had just started work on her folklore doctorate, she heard the first of the NPR programs about the crypto-Jews. She was intrigued by the tales of dreidel spinning and kosher slaughter. She was also intrigued by the fact that none of these stories had been verified by a professional folklorist. Until some of them were, the accounts were doomed to remain in the realm of rumor, popular media, and pseudo-academic journals that lack peer review or scholarly cachet. Neulander wanted to be the first folklorist to dignify the claims with ethnographic research. As she derisively puts it now, she wanted to be "Queen of the Crypto-Jews."

My life in travel: Colm Meaney
'The first time I saw the Amalfi Coast, I was blown away. I just couldn't leave'
First holiday memory?
We used to rent houses on the east coast of Ireland, in places like Greystones, Bray and Skerries. These days, they're all a bus ride from Dublin, but to me it was very exciting to up sticks and move to the beach.
Favourite place in the British Isles?
The coast of County Antrim. I love driving around that part, especially the Giant's Causeway. Each glen and town you come across is very different. It's interesting to see how places change in a matter of miles.
Best holiday?
A train journey from Beijing to Moscow on the old Orient Express. We were in Beijing just after they had announced they were going to stage the Olympics, so there was a huge boom. You could see all these cranes and high-rises going up. As we went across into Mongolia, we got to spend time with some of the nomadic tribes and had lunch in a yurt. In Siberia, we stopped by Lake Baikal and had a very quick swim, because it was very cold.
What have you learnt from your travels?
That people are very similar: all over the world, the desires, the hopes and the issues are the same. It makes you realise that humanity is humanity, wherever it is.
Ideal travelling companion?
My wife. She's originally from Paris, but she's lived and worked in Spain too. She speaks English, French, Spanish, Italian and German, which means we're never lost for communication.
Holiday reading?
I usually catch up on a couple of good history books. At the moment I'm reading Civilization by Niall Ferguson. He's a bit right-wing for me, but his scholarship is very good. I also get very excited when I see a new William Boyd novel and get a thrill from reading the Irish writers, like Roddy Doyle.
Where has seduced you?
The Amalfi Coast. The first time I saw it, I was blown away. We were meant to be staying in Positano for three days but ended up there for a week. We then drove round the coast and found Ravello, where we ended up spending another two days. We just couldn't leave the place.
Better to travel or arrive?
Aeroplanes don't hold a lot of romance for me, but I do enjoy travelling by train, especially taking the Eurostar to Paris.
Worst travel experience?
Travelling from my home in Palma de Mallorca to Calgary in Canada with my six-year-old daughter, via Barcelona and Frankfurt. Our flight from Barcelona to Frankfurt was delayed, so we missed our connection. Eventually, somebody put us on a plane to London. We arrived at Heathrow with about 30 minutes to spare, but the airline refused to board us. We bought a new ticket to JFK, got a taxi across the city to Newark and spent six hours in a hotel, before finally catching the flight to Canada. It took us 40 hours.
Best hotel?
The Hotel Raphael in Paris. It's got a wonderful old elevator that takes you up and down. It's manageable in size, but the rooms are very large. And it was one of the first places that my wife and I spent time together, so I have a lot of fond memories of staying there.
Favourite walk?
The Serra de Tramuntana, on the north-west coast of Mallorca. There are pine trees, mountains and beautiful views of the sea.
Favourite city?
Montreal. The climate is cruel, but it's a very beautiful city and the old town is gorgeous. I always enjoy going to work there.
Where next?
I'm off to Mallorca to see the family, then back to my house in Los Angeles for a bit before I go to Calgary again to start filming the third season of Hell on Wheels.

In 2006, while scouting locations for his latest film, the Brazilian director José Padilha popped into his former university in Rio de Janeiro. "We got there, and everybody was smoking grass," he says. A year later, when Tropa de Elite (Elite Squad) was released in Brazil, the university's rector is unlikely to have been pleased with what he saw. Told through the eyes of a murderous special-forces police officer in Rio, the film offered a scathing critique of the city's middle and upper classes and fast became the most talked-about and controversial Brazilian film since 2002's City of God.
Elite Squad contains terrifying scenes of torture and execution and, perhaps for the first time in a major Brazilian film, drew a direct link between such violence and the excesses of upper-class university students like those smoking marijuana at Padilha's alma mater. "If you are a consumer of drugs in Rio, you know you are buying drugs from heavily armed groups that control poorer populations. You are choosing to finance those people," Padilha says.
Those who watch Elite Squad - which was exhaustively researched with help from former police officers and real-life drug traffickers - are left in little doubt as to where Rio's drugs come from or what, in Padilha's view, they result in. "The numbers are devastating. Just this year, in Rio, there were about 1,200 people killed by cops. To put this number in perspective: in the whole of the United States, a country with 300m people living in it, every year 200 people are killed by cops."
The films of 40-year-old Padilha have never made comfortable viewing for Brazilian society. In 1998, after a stint working as an investment banker, he began his film career by producing a documentary called The Charcoal People, telling the stories of exploited migrant workers forced to make charcoal in the Amazon rainforest.
Padilha's leap into the big time came in 2002 with another documentary, his directorial debut. Bus 174 delved into the background of a former street kid who became internationally famous after hijacking a bus in one of Rio's wealthiest boroughs, and subsequently died in custody.
What these films have in common, Padilha believes, is their examination of the "causal chains" behind social crises. In the case of Elite Squad, that meant looking at how society has created a police force that uses torture and killing to combat crime. Padilha, who is currently making a documentary for the BBC about Yanomami Indians in Venezuela, describes his work as a mixture of science and reportage. "We are reproducing what happens in places people don't look at, in an environment that people will look at, namely a [movie] theatre. Which is the same thing a journalist does - but the environment is a cafe, and the guy is holding a newspaper."
Uncovering this hidden world has earned Padilha his share of critics. In the wake of Elite Squad's release, sections of Brazil's left rounded on Padilha, arguing that the film promoted torture, while others described it as the work of a Trotskyite. "There is a tendency in Brazil - and in Latin America for that matter - that when you explain the psychology of a small-time criminal then you are a leftwinger, a communist trying to justify the crimes that this former street kid committed," he says. On the other hand if you explain why a killer cop is led to kill, "then you become a rightwinger. Since I did both, I am now never going to be elected."
Padilha's next film - a study of the murky world of Brazilian politics provisionally entitled The Corruptologist - also looks likely to have an explosive effect on the county's political scene, however. "The society here mistrusts the politicians even more than they mistrust the police. I think even the police mistrust the politicians. And I wonder why," he says. "The basic idea is: why is our political class like this? What is it that creates those politicians? It is the same thing as Elite Squad but in a different environment." Brasilia, you have been warned.

This was a post on a Cafemom Forum I belong to...not my personal opinion...
Please bear with me. I am a bit upset with this topic. In reading posts in other groups, I noticed a post about "Hot Shots", condoms made smaller geared towards younger males, 12-14, Swiss-made.
Now, why am I pissed?? Why in the hell are we even allowing our children enough privacy at such young ages to even have sex?? The majority of the ladies responding to the post completely agreed and loved the idea os smaller condoms for younger ages. Are you serious? What are we telling our children??
This made me think of a woman who wrote to a local newpaper back at home to the "Dear Abby" column about what to do about her 12 year old daughter who was pregnant with her SECOND child. She had her first at 10 years old by her 14 or 15 year old boyfriend.
Seriously. How are children this young able to do this when they should rarely, RARELY, be without adult supervision?? One girl said that some can't help how soon they become sexually ready. Some just mature faster than others. Yes, their BODIES physically mature faster than others, but sexually? They should not even be thinking about having sex at 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 years old.
I don't even really know what to say. My mind is just overflowing and I can not seem to find all the right words. I was 14 the first time I had sex, and I stayed in the shower afterwards until the water was cold, trying to wash all the filth off of me. I look back today WISHING I had never did that, WISHING I kept that innocence until I was really ready.
I understand that more parents must work out of the home due to the economy, but how is it that we can make sure we can keep our house clean and keep dinner on the table and keep money coming in to support our household but we can't even keep track of our kids? Kids are getting cell phones at younger ages that way their parents can keep track of them. Are you kidding me?? How about having your kids with you?? Is that a bad idea.
Ladies, tell me what you think about "Children's Condoms". Tell me how you think we might be able to help gear our chidren away from having sex instead of just telling them at younger ages that we will get them condoms and birth control. Come July, I will have 4 daughters, and I'll be damned if I have to start telling them at 8 years old that we need to talk about birth control and getting them put on it because if they are anything like myself, they will start their periods early and mature physically faster than others their age.

After years of experiments...No more tailless design.
Views: 1447
Lovely design! What was the attraction of tailless in the first place?
That's really nice looking. It reminds me of Andy Lennon's designs.
Could you please elaborate on your experiments and conclusions that have led you away from tailless designs? I say this because I am currently working on a tailless design and would appreciate any knowledge you have attained through your experimentation.
Beautiful airframe, well done. Are you getting better flight times per maH ? I think one of the biggest issues around here is people overload airframes.
Looks like elevator rudder?
Very slick.
1. Unstable, especially in pitch. You like rodeo in air - tailless for you.
2. LD...Nothing to say. With similar wing load, same setup, classical design flew 2-3 time longer.
3. Everything is fine, when you flew on manual mode. Tune AP in tailless - thanks, another question please. :)
What is your experience of tailles flying wings and the APM stabilize mode? Does the APM stabilize mode also have unstable tendency in pitch?
Veikko, I not flew with APM.

Court Correspondent
A 48-year-old commuter omnibus driver who hit a primary school pupil, who was walking home from school in the company of her mother in Chitungwiza, was yesterday slapped with a six-month prison term.
Kennedy Mauye of Kuwadzana Extension, Harare, was also banned from driving classes 2, 4 and 5 for life by Chitungwiza magistrate Mr Lazarus Murendo.
Mauye was slapped with 10 months in prison with four months set aside for five years after pleading guilty to charges of negligent driving.
Prosecutor Mr Tatenda Mukatera proved that at around 1pm on November 13, Mauye was driving a Toyota Hiace with registration number ACL 0218 along the Chitungwiza Road.
She was in the company of her mother when tragedy struck. The court heard that Mauye hit the minor with his bumper and she fell down. After the accident, Mauye failed to stop and proceeded with the journey.
However, he ran out of lucky after Southerton Traffic police gave chase.

A FACEBOOK petition to get Gavin and Stacey back on our screens has attracted over 430,000 members.
Fans of the BBC hit show, which picked up an award for most popular comedy programme at this week's National Television Awards, have voted in huge numbers since the campaign was set up online three weeks ago.
Wales on Sunday reported two weeks ago how the petition had attracted 175,000 members, but since then, the figure has rocketed with a further 255,000 fans showing their support.
Organisers of the group say they will contact the BBC if the number reaches 500,000 to try to persuade Ruth Jones and James Corden to write a fourth series.
The petition says: "When this page hits 500,000 members, we will contact a number of TV and radio stations to show Ruth Jones and James Corden how much support there is for series four."
But fans shouldn't hold their breath just yet after Ruth and James made it clear the third series would be the last.
Melanie Walters, who plays Stacey's mum Gwen in the hit Barry-based sitcom, said: "It's extraordinary that so many people have signed up to see the show come back, they clearly love it.
"But as far as I know James Corden and Ruth Jones have absolutely no intention to do any more episodes although I think maybe Ruth did mention the possibility of a special in a couple of years.
"But, personally I believe the best way is to leave them wanting more."
Fans have been given a glimmer of hope from the show's star Larry Lamb, who played Gavin's dad Mick Shipman.
He hinted that the cast might return one last time after all.
"'There will be a Christmas special," said the 62-year-old.
"Clearly the audience loves it and I would be very surprised if it did not come back for another Christmas outing. Viewers will want to know what happens to them all. I would hate to see it just die."
Thousands of messages have been posted on the Facebook forum with die-hard fans urging the show to continue.
Steve Hepworth wrote: "Please, please make more Gavin and Stacey."
Glenise Stanley added: "Best comedy since Only Fools and Horses."
Sue Crawford says: "A fourth series is a MUST, Gavin and Stacey is brill, I love it!"

Voting 2.0, Part 2: The Open Source Proposition
May 30, 2008 4:00 AM PT
Part 1 of this two-part series looks at the current state of the vote-tallying system and calls for its reform in the wake of vote-counting irregularities in the last two presidential elections. Part 2 explores whether open source software in electronic voting machines is the solution.
Even as the presidential elections draw ever nearer, debate rages about the technologies used to enable the voting process.
It's too late for any large systematic changes to be implemented for this year, Matthew Zimmerman, senior staff attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, told LinuxInsider. However, what should we use down the road?
Voter-Verifiable Trail
"Security is only as good as its weakest link," David Dill, professor of computer science at Stanford University and founder of the Verified Voting Foundation, told LinuxInsider. "There is no way you can take an all-electronic machine and make sure it's all trustworthy."
What's needed, Dill said, is a voter-verifiable audit trail -- "an indelible record where the voter can make sure it's correct and where it's available for a manual count," if necessary.
"Having a paper element -- in particular, a paper record that the voter has verified him- or herself -- is the most important safeguard right now, along with a trail for post-election audits," Ed Felten, professor of computer science and public affairs and director of the center for information technology policy at Princeton University, agreed.
Scanning Ballot Box
One idea that has been tried out is attaching a printer to each machine so that a ballot could be printed out and deposited into the ballot box in paper form, Dill noted, but "printers are expensive, and they break often. That idea hasn't been very popular."
What Dill's group recommends now is a system in which voters fill out a paper ballot themselves, and then put it into a scanner, which is also the ballot box, he said. The scanner then counts and records the ballot, or it may "kick it back" if it's mismarked, he explained, giving the voter a chance to fix it.
Disability Advocates
Paper may be cumbersome, but it also has opponents for other reasons.
Specifically, disability advocates frequently speak out against the use of paper in the voting process because of the difficulty visually or mobility-impaired people might have in using it, Zimmerman noted.
"[In the] big picture, I think the way this is going is toward the use of more hybrid systems," he predicted -- "technologies that have most of the benefits of electronic systems, like touchscreens, but that instead of saving the votes electronically and relying on reconstitution, instead make the system print out a scannable paper ballot."
Ballot-Marking Technology
One example of such a technology is the AutoMark, which voters can use to mark ballots, he noted. "The approach is a good one, and it has already been used in general elections."
More widespread implementation, however, may take some time. "Many jurisdictions are still trying to decide what to do," he noted. "People don't want to be stuck yet again purchasing equipment they may have to replace down the road."
Open Source Advantages
Making votes verifiable and auditable is one goal, but a higher-level issue is whether any voting technology should be allowed to be proprietary. In the wake of Felten's findings, renewed calls have been sounded for an open source voting system.
"The voter has no way under the current system to know their vote really counted as it was cast," Alan Dechert, president of the Open Voting Consortium, told LinuxInsider. "In an open source system with correct procedures in place, it becomes a real possibility."
The Open Voting Consortium believes that all aspects of an election need to be open to public scrutiny -- something a paper trail alone can't provide.
Awaiting Certification
"Just because there's a paper trail, that doesn't mean things can't go wrong in a way that's unobserved," Dechert explained. "We want everything open to public scrutiny. There's no excuse for any secrets in the voting system -- except your ballot."
Dechert's group has designed an open source system, though much still needs to be done to make it robust and get it certified, he concedes.
As designed, however, the Ubuntu-based system is also voter-verifiable because the public can review in advance the screens they'll see on Election Day, presented as pre-rendered picture files.
The group hopes the system will be used at least on a small scale in California's 2008 elections.
Two Kinds of Openness
"There are really two kinds of openness," Felten told LinuxInsider.
"One is whether the public is allowed to see the source code and understand the design of the technology -- I'm in favor of that," he said.
The other aspect is the ability for people to modify the software. "I think there are advantages to that, but it's less critical from an election integrity point of view," he said. "Certainly if we had open source in terms of knowing what the code is, that would be an important step."
'Doesn't Solve the Problem'
Not everyone is convinced open source would be a cure-all, however.
"I feel it's necessary to point out that it doesn't solve the problem," Dill asserted. "Open source can still be buggy and malicious, and it's also still very hard to know that that software is what the machine is actually running."
Dill may not think it solves the problem, but he does still think an open source solution would be desirable.
"I think it would be great if someone came forward with a high-quality open source voting machine -- if those who make them thought carefully, they would realize it wouldn't hurt their business," he explained. "I'm waiting for one of the companies to come forward with that idea."
Most likely, the company would need to develop new software and release it in draft form, inviting people to help find the holes. The company could then make revisions and spend the time necessary to make sure it's solid before it gets released, thereby increasing public trust, he said.
The Virtues of Paper
Looking forward, the old-fashioned approach may still be the best one.
"I think at this stage the paper-based approach is the most reliable one we have," Zimmerman said. "We're certainly supportive of ideas to make the technology more transparent, but at this point the current generation of technology just hasn't proven reliable and trustworthy enough."
Zimmerman draws the line on how votes are stored and tabulated. "If it's based off of an electrical signal stored in a machine, that's different from a ballot that is scanned," he explained. "Once you take that paper away, you get into dangerous territory."
No More Delays
Though any changes may be too late for 2008, they shouldn't be delayed by the approach of another election, Zimmerman added.
"We've been working on the issue for years now, and the answer is always that we shouldn't make changes just before an election," he said. "In the meantime, we're using the electorate as guinea pigs.
"Why should we have to wait, when we know there are these inherent structural flaws in the system?" he concluded. "Do we really have to wait for another Florida 2000 before we fix it?"

After recent accolades for St. Augustine have been published by travel publications, the area is now receiving attention for something beyond tourist attractions.
Florida Trend magazine has recognized St. Johns County for a successful year of business growth and economic development. The publication's 2013 Economic Yearbook acknowledges St. Johns County's success in attracting partnerships with several major national companies, including Advanced Disposal, D.R. Horton and 2G Cenergy.
Through such efforts, the county estimates approximately 982 new jobs and professional positions were generated in 2012, according to a news release from the St. Johns County Office of Public Affairs.
The article breaks down the business climates of every region of Florida but does not rank one county against another.
Another economic spark for the county should be tourism, Florida Trend says in the article: "The county is counting on getting a tourism boost from events surrounding the Viva Florida 500th Anniversary celebration this year."
Florida Trend is a monthly business news magazine with a circulation of more than 50,000.
St. Augustine has been recognized as a top tourist destination by such media outlets as National Geographic and Fodor's in recent months.

text: Hello, My engineering graphics class has been working on alternate ways of controlling grass. We will will eventually lead up to taking a good look at an electric lawnmower, in the meantime we are trying to look for alternate ways to control it. I was wondering if it is possible/feasable to genitacally engineer grass so that it only grows to a few inches in height or grows so very slowly that it would only need to be mowed once a month or so. We're in St. Louis if climate is anything. Thank you very much! Paul Rubel PGR1 at cec.wustl.edu

FEATURE: Beats by the Pound
In recent years, Just Blaze has scored video games such as Tiger Woods PGA Tour and NBA Street Vol. 2 and produced music for Nike and USA Basketball. He has also booked more DJ gigs than usual. The 32-year-old producer still has a knack for creating hit records—credit him for Maino's "All the Above" and T.I. and Rihanna's "Live Your Life"—but it's in his best interest to capitalize on other moneymaking ventures.
"Those little projects can generate a hundred grand for a couple of days's worth of work," he says. "All those little things keep me in business. I can DJ a corporate event and come back with 20 grand for an hour's worth of work. You can't throw all your eggs into one basket, just make beats for records."
It's Financial Planning 101: When the market turns ugly, it's time to diversify your portfolio. And boy is it ugly out there in today's music industry. Even for the so-called superproducers who've dominated hip-hop for the past 15 years.
In the past, producers fed at the limitless troughs of record companies. After all, a label could break a new artist merely by hiring a proven hitmaker (see: Just Blaze for Joe Budden's "Pump It Up" or The Neptunes for Fabolous's "Young'n"). Because of this power, superproducers received 50/50 label imprints and six-figure paydays. (Or seven figures. Remember the talk, back in 2005, that Nas had purchased a Neptunes beat for $2 million? Nas denied the rumor.) In some cases, they became bigger stars than the artists. In 2004, XXL's parent company launched Scratch, a magazine devoted to covering beatmakers's every move. Producers's names were routinely featured on album packaging as a selling point.
These days, spotlighting a producer on a new release often seems useless—and not just because no one reads iTunes' digital liner notes. There are no guarantees in today's music business. And record labels no longer have bundles of cash to throw at the big guns. Instead, they are scouring the Internet for younger, hungrier (i.e., cheaper) sources for beats, trying to get more bang for their ever-dwindling bucks.
"Before, it would be mandatory to get certain [producers]," remembers Mike Heron, a former A&R for Rawkus Records who has also consulted for major labels. "Like, in meetings, [label execs would say,] 'No way you can do a record without this guy.' They would put money to the side for certain producers. It's not like that anymore." Mike Caren, executive VP of A&R at Atlantic Records, says the same: "The struggles of the music industry have made everyone careful. Money isn't flying around like it used to be."
Established superproducers such as Dr. Dre and Timbaland have therefore trimmed their output. And the next generation hasn't fared much better—folks like Cool & Dre and Polow Da Don have had trouble sustaining the buzz surrounding their more recent breakthroughs. With a streak of ubiquity like the one The Neptunes enjoyed the first few years of the decade a distant memory, it's not unreasonable to ask: Is the era of the superproducer over?

Bexar County Brewery was born out of the need for newer more creative beers to be produced in England. The days of only having a handful of styles of beers to drink are ending, and we are part of that change. A beer revolution is occurring, and I am proud to be on the front lines.
Please have a look around. Here you will find loads of useful information (and plenty of rubbish as well) about the brewery as well as updates on beers being produced and where you may find them.

What's more special than giving a gift from your very own garden. Homemade gifts are always special and unique, especially when they are planted, grown, and picked from your very own garden. Lots and lots of love goes into our garden and it is a real joy for us to share not only with our loved ones, but also with all of you! Be sure to be be creative!
Got lots of peppers this year? Here is an idea for you to share them. In this video I will be showing you how to make a hot pepper sauce that will blow your mind. A little bit of this tangy sauce goes along way!! Use it in place of your favorite hot sauce on dishes such as sautéed veggies, steak marinade, even a salad dressing!!
Enough with how great it taste and what it can be used on! Lets get this sauce going:)...
Here's the items that you will need for this project.
- A swing top glass bottle (got mine at IKEA)
- Red and green thai peppers.
- Organic cider vinegar (Apple Cider Vinegar)
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of organic sugar
- Funnel
- Festive Christmas ribbon
- Scissors
- Personalized tag
- Hole puncher (optional)
I found my swing top glass bottle at Ikea but you can follow the link and find it at amazon. Now depending on the size of your glass bottle, keep in mind, use 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of sugar for every cup of cider vinegar needed to fill your bottle.
Also remember, when adding the peppers to the bottle, there will water displacement. So I recommend you fill your bottle with your peppers and water to see how much vinegar you will need. Slowly pour the water out of the bottle into a measuring cup to determine how much vinegar will actually be need to fill your bottle.
Once you figured out how much vinegar you need for your bottle, it's time to add all the ingredients together. Now pour your cider vinegar in a sauce pan over medium heat and add your salt and sugar. Stir the ingredients altogether until the salt and sugar dissolves completely (this should take about 3 to 5 minutes).
Now take your funnel and pour the cider vinegar into your glass bottle. Let it sit out for about 30 minutes or so until the bottle reaches room temperature before you put the cap on. Now take the bottle, close the cap and store in the fridge for about three weeks. Shortly before giving it to your special someone, add a personal touch.
I hope you enjoy this Thai Pepper Sauce as much as we do!
Like always God Bless.

Recently made public, Altered Focus: Burma was filmed in the summer of 2009, follows three film makers and skateboarders including Harmony and Analog UK rider Ali Drummond, as they travel across Yangon and Mandalay. The group were not only just tourist but volunteered time to give back to the surrounding communities. Meeting up with the local skaters and discovering hidden skate spots, the group also ran into young Buddhist Monks who have never seen a skateboard. "Such simple experiences, which are normally beyond them, really makes you realize how fortunate we are in the west, but more importantly, raise questions as to why they don't have access to such pleasures." said Alex. The short film captures the unseen differences between the two countries and the political unrest there.

|This page: Photographs of some of the classic vehicles entered in the Audlem Festival of Transport.
Audlem Festival of Transport.The summer months see various transport festivals taking place around the area, some quite large like this one, others smaller. The Audlem Festival of Transport seems to have grown year-on-year since we first attended in 2005 (images can be found of our first visit on the Audlem Transport Festival 2005 photos page). This year we took our 1934 Morris Minor, in previous years we've attended in a Standard Ten and later a Ten Companion, an Austin Devon, and an A55 Cambridge.
|This year the weather was very kind, and no doubt helped to encourage the impressive turnout of vehicles which descended upon the green in Hankelow, the starting point for the day's short road run into the neighbouring village of Audlem.
|Classic and vintage cars began to arrive in Hankelow at approximately 10am, with the field gradually filling up as more and more venerable old vehicles arrived to take up their start positions. Vehicles are grouped by age, with the oldest cars leaving on the run first, leaving the moderns (ie 1980s cars) and the commercials, to complete the convoy.
|The turnout of both entrants and spectating public seemed higher than in previous years to us. At 12.30pm the leisurely run into Audlem commenced. A six-cylinder Austin from 1936 followed us in the convoy, while we pootled along behind an Austin 7 Ruby, a 10/4 Lichfield, and a chrome-rad 10/4 saloon. Waiting at the destination was a selection of classic motorcycles - they don't take part in the road run down from Hankelow for some reason, instead making their way independently to the finishers' area. All in all a grand day out. Shown below are fifty-five images from this enjoyable day's outing, the majority of which were taken at Hankelow as cars arrived for the show prior to the run.
