Ashes of an Empire
Welcome to the Ashes of the Sol Imperium!
The Sol Imperium fell into decay after a millennium of dominance. Following a bloody civil war 200 years ago, an uneasy state of equilibrium has arisen among the human race, but the power vacuum has created opportunities for many of the other major non-human races.

Taylor, Lucas and Brown Awarded Top Honors To Conclude 2014 Audi Melges 20 Miami Winter Series
8 March 2014
Miami, FL - Congratulations are in order for Audi Melges 20 Bacardi Miami Sailing Week 2014 (BMSW) Champion John Taylor aboard Ninkasi. Taylor sailed the event with tactician Bill Hardesty and crew Joey Mello.
"I feel a little bit bad for John (Kilroy) as he and his team sailed really, really well at the first part of the regatta." commented Taylor. "But we also sailed well on Thursday, working through some tough starts and shifty conditions. Sailing on Friday was a hoot! More people need to sail Melges 20s. It was really fast. Really fun!"
Additional congratulations go out to Russ Lucas on Shimmer as he rose to the top of the standings to become 2014 Audi Melges 20 Miami Winter Series Champion. Lucas beat 2013 winner Richard Davies on Section 16 by one point. Michael Kiss on Bacio, and John Kilroy on Samba Pa Ti completed the series in third and fourth respectively, tied with equal points. Cesar Gomez Neto from Brazil on Portobello rounded out the top five.

John Brown on Blind Squirrel was also crowned 2014 Audi Melges 20 Corinthian Miami Winter Series Champion. It is only his second year in the class, and he and his team made up of Will and George Demand have worked very hard to acquire the title.
There was no racing on the last day of BMSW due to lack of breeze, therefore Friday's final results stand as is.
As always the most sincere and special thanks go to Coconut Grove Sailing Club and Melges USA for the impeccable race management support, the incredible parties and the simply, unmatched, far-superior customer service and product support. Additional thanks go to PRO Bruce Golison and his entire Race Management team. 2014 has been the absolute best!

I tried to put a Panotour v2 project online with Wordpress and using the Panopress plug-in but it doesn't work.
Is there any Wordpress users who have been able to display a PanotourV2 project?

You are writing: " I recommend to use an iframe rather than the plugin"
But it seems that Iframe is itself a plug-in : http://wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/
So if I understand, if want to use iframe to display my panorama, it has to be already online somewhere on the web (which is not the case).
Wayne Spence wrote:your link has been inserted incorrectly. I see that you have tried to call up a folder from the root directory as if you were calling up an image but this is not how iframes work. You need to insert the full link starting with http

Thanks also to point that out Wayne. Are you aware of a security risk on this specific plugin or you speak in general?
I actually rather have the simplicity of shortcodes and functionality of lightbox and deal with WP security aside.
besides "panopress" there is another good plugin "EasyFancy Box". It is very comfortable and I use it exclusively now.

5 astonishing adventures in the Toyota Land Cruiser
With its reputation for reliability and true 'go-anywhere' capabilities, the Toyota Land Cruiser holds a special place in the hearts of many. We cast an eye over some of the astonishing achievements that have helped to secure its place in automotive history.
1. Enjoying years of success in the Dakar Rally
To rally fans, 'Dakar' means 'Hard'. Fortunately, the Land Cruiser likes a challenge, and consequently, the famously reliable 4x4 has a long history of success in the gruelling 15-day, 5,280 mile desert race.
In 1996, Team Araco entered two Land Cruisers and took the top two podium positions in their class (Unmodified Diesel). Five years later in 2001, the car celebrated its 50th anniversary and Araco successfully toasted the car's half century by winning the class championship once more.
2005 was the first year that the car competed as Team Land Cruiser Toyota Auto Body, as opposed to Araco. Another first for 2005 was the rankings of the three Land Cruisers that Auto Body entered; each occupied the podium positions in the unmodified production group.
In 2014 a pair of 200 Series Land Cruisers took the top two positions in the production car category of the Dakar. Number 345, driven by Jun Mitsuhashi and co-piloted by Alain Guehennc took the overall category win, followed by Nicolas Gibon and Akira Miura in the number 344 car.
2. Taking a seven-year trip around the world
Between 2006 and 2013, husband and wife explorers Paul and Brigitta Bohlen Juni, from Switzerland, circumnavigated the globe in a 70 Series Land Cruiser, visiting 63 countries and clocking-up a staggering 174,000 miles. Midway through their trip, the couple sent a letter to Toyota Europe, in which they wrote: "The Land Cruiser is the best car you can drive around the world."
3. Holding the world record for longest drive of all time
If you thought that no one could top Paul and Brigitta for Land Cruiser-based tenacity, then you'd be wrong.
Enter Emil and Liliana Schmid, who have earned their place in the Guiness Book of Records, having spent almost 30 years travelling the world non-stop.
As of July 16 2014, the couple had covered 430,130 miles since October 18 1984 - in the same 60 Series Land Cruiser. The couple have visited 180 countries and territories, and have no permanent address - theirs is truly a life lived out on the open road.
4. Going on the ultimate school run
In 2013, father and son Graham and Ed Durgan covered 12,000 in their 100 series Land Cruiser. The pair's adventure began in Littlewick Green in Berkshire and finished in McGill University in Montreal, Canada, where Ed had been offered a place to study political science.
Billed as 'The longest school run', the trek saw the pair take in 40 cities in 14 countries, including Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia and China, before boarding a cargo ship and continuing their drive across the United States and into Canada. Despite the distance, the pair only suffered one flat tyre, and reached Montreal in August 2013.
5. Helping to raise awareness of and money for injured ex-servicemen
Barely a year goes by without anyone undertaking a marathon drive in a Land Cruiser, and 2014 has been no exception.
In April, ex-marine Chris Short, pal Domenic Senger-Schenk and filmmaker Laurence Cameron travelled 4,600 miles from Afganistan to Goodwood, West Sussex, to raise money for Mission Motorsport, a charity that helps in the recovery and rehabilitation of ex-service personnel through motor racing. Chris completed his journey on a motor bike, with Senger-Schenk at the wheel of the Land Cruiser.
The three men finished at midday on June 27th after crossing 17 countries, arriving at Goodwood in time for the Festival of Speed. On the Goodwood Toyota stand, Chris said: "I'm very happy, very tired and really looking forward to a cup of tea."
He added, "It was hard... in fact, it was really hard - but that's exactly what it was meant to be."
The team raised over £22,000.

Boldog Kennel is not a kennel which produces puppies for sale or stud service to the public. Any breeding done is to produce dogs for law enforcement detection work or sport animals for myself and my training partners. NONE are sold - period. I know some kennels say they don't sell to the public, and then they do, but I don't! So please don't ask.
I support the rescue of unwanted shelter dogs for those looking for pets or sport dogs. Sadly, many people continue to breed litters and peddle them to the public despite the horrific overpopulation problem this breed is experiencing. This results in thousands of purebred pit bulls dying in shelters.
What happened to using rescue dogs?
wonder how many dogs she will cull because they wont cut the making???

Good information, and a good read for folks who don't think these dogs can do anything but fight, but it also left my impressionable young mind filled with distaste for things I knew nothing about, like the ADBA, undershot dogs, etc.
I don't know. I find it sucky how she can reverse herself and flip-flop and all that jazz. I guess we all have the right to changing opinions, but eee ow my head hurts. I think I'll just sit back and watch this one play out.

The missions are broken into three different subcategories: adventure / platform, space combat, and real-time strategy. The adventure missions are the ones most closely related to those of past games of the series, but look and play better, with solid enemy AI and a ton more things to smash. The boss battles do a great job finishing levels with an epic struggle, but we expect no less from a Star Wars game. The space missions and RTS missions are where you see this game break from the standard. With literally hundreds of allies and enemies on the screen and no lag or drop in frame rate, the large scale battles are truly a spectacle to behold. The strategy missions feel like a light version of StarCraft with LEGOs, as you take out enemy buildings using a hefty variety of vehicles, then use blocks to create your own support buildings. But no matter which mission you're tackling, even when surrounded by a seemingly inescapable amount of enemies, the forgiving difficulty keeps you from breaking a sweat. You essentially have unlimited lives, and only lose a couple thousand studs (pocket change) when brought down to zero health. Despite having a varied group to control, you'll most likely keep to those wielding lightsabers, since continuous mashing of the attack button will thwart any attempts to do you harm. However, LEGO games have never been designed with challenging gameplay in mind, making the game approachable to a wider audience.
As touched on before, the graphics shine in this latest version. The venues are all perfectly molded and believable in the Star Wars universe, and the animations are fluid and varied. Each of the 114 characters is uniquely tailored with its own personality and combat style, so how Anakin swings his lightsaber is completely different than how Mace Windu or Obi-Wan does. Even small elements, like Yoda hobbling along on his cane when pressing the analog stick lightly, then quickly jumping into a double flip to decapitate a droid, all showcase the care given to each character's authenticity.
Little needs to be said about the music and sound. It's Star Wars; the music is world renowned, the sound effects iconic, and both are perfectly integrated into the game, period. The voice acting is an issue all on its own though. While I fully understand that voiced scripts have no more place in a LEGO game then they do in a Sims game, the lack of talking only accentuates the confusing direction and hint system.
LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars is a pleasant break from the constant onslaught of first-person shooters, only made more satisfying by adding humor to the formula, a nearly extinct theme in modern video games. While the controls and difficulty are watered down, and you'll inevitably find yourself lost many times throughout, the game is just pure, addictive fun. And with so many things to collect and unlock, it's just that many more reasons to keep picking up the controller and redoing a level for the twelfth time.

It was the third day after a caesarean birth in Melbourne's tertiary hospital which is also accredited as 'Baby Friendly'.
[For the first part of this discussion, click here]
Mother had received excellent midwifery support and care during and after the birth, and the midwife on duty had arranged to stay with the little family in the Recovery room so that baby could initiate breastfeeding immediately.
Baby breastfed well in the hour or so after the birth.
The following day I was unable to visit, as I had come down with a nasty head cold which I did not want to share. I spoke to the mother on the phone. Baby was only about 30 hours old, and had had limited success at the breast. Mother was happy giving her expressed colostrum.
The next morning - the third day - the midwife announced that baby looked jaundiced, and was dehydrated. Baby was weighed, and of course had lost weight. Although the loss was not excessive, that did not seem to be taken into account in the new care plan. Without making any effort to support breastfeeding, the midwife announced that the baby needed a blood test for jaundice. This recorded jaundice at the lower limit of the range requiring phototherapy. The mother was informed that baby needed to go 'under the lights' and would be given formula milk to complement the expressed breast milk.
The parents reluctantly agreed to the formula - there was really no alternative. They asked that they be able to give it via a cup or syringe, to avoid using a teat. The nurse's response was that that takes too long, and there's no problem with a teat anyway!
That nurse undermined the good work by midwives and the medical team in the preceding days, who had worked to promote, support and PROTECT breastfeeding.
Not only did the mother receive conflicting advice; she had reached a point where she was no longer able to trust the guidance of the midwives and other hospital staff. Breastfeeding was compromised by the formula, which took away the baby's appetite and interest in the breast, the enforced separation that came about with phototherapy, and the use of a teat.
Someone may be asking, "What alternative plan was there?" "What would a truly 'baby friendly' maternity service have done in this instance?"
At the very least, giving the supplement by cup or syringe, as requested by the parents, would have minimised the risk of nipple confusion.
Secondly, there was scope for more effort to help the mother with breastfeeding, while continuing to observe the baby for any medical problems such as jaundice and dehydration. In this case there was no cause for concern: the baby was at term, and would not be harmed by a more conservative approach than was taken.
And finally, I need to challenge the acceptance of artificial formula as a suitable alternative to a mother's own milk. The first alternative is human milk from another mother - yet Australian health authorities have put their collective heads in the metaphorical sand. Human milk banking, providing donated and pasteurised human milk for human infants, is the best supplement when a mother's own milk is unavailable.
Yet babies are routinely exposed to the bovine milk, and all the other micronutrients derived from plant oils and any number of foreign and potentially allergy-forming sources, when donated human milk would be far more suitable.

Can you give us a little more information about your project? When using more then one battery on a project you will need to make sure that the ground (negative terminal) of both of the batteries are connected. This of course assumes that you are not using the two batteries in a series arrangement. I will make the assumption that your intent is to use one battery for the microcontroller and the other battery for the motors. Will you probably need a voltage regulator between the first battery and the microcontroller. They don't like being operated outside of their voltage range. You probably won't need a voltage regulator on the second battery for the motors. If you supply more or less voltage to a motor it will increase/decrease it's speed and as long as the supplied voltage isn't much higher then it was designed for you should be fine. You will not be able to connect the motors to the microcontroller directly. If you can give us some specifics we can provide you with some specific help.Good luckConscripted

Produce silage with less spoilage
Vets Plus claims that its VP silage inoculant helps reduce heat buildup in silage as it ferments with the help of eight lactic acid-producing bacteria and three enzymes.
The enzymes convert carbohydrates into fermentable sugars to feed the bacteria, thereby saving natural nutrients of the silage. Saving nutrients helps decrease the heat buildup to retard spoilage, improve palatability and extend bunk life, according to the company. Contact Vets Plus Inc., Dept. FIN, 102 Third Ave. E., Knapp, WI 54749, 800/468-3877.
Gentle aggressor (c)
The RotoSlicer hay processor/feeder from DewEze cuts hay stem lengths from 6 to 12 in. and needs only a 60-hp, 540-rpm PTO to power it.
Self-loading forks load from the right side and allow you to transport two bales at a time. The unit tears up a bale for bunk, bunk line or range feeding. Leaves stay on the stem for a quality feed, according to the company. Contact DewEze Mfg. Co., Dept. FIN, 151 E. Hwy. 160, Harper, KS 67058, 800/835-1042.
Cattle, pig marker
Mark livestock instantly with KMQ's Spray-On colored marking system.The aerosol spray is available in red, blue and green. It dries to the touch as soon as it is sprayed on and comes in 400-ml cans. Contact KMQ Inc., Dept. FIN, Box 336, Kenansville, NC 28349, 888/482-2722.
Mineral feeder
According to Behlen, its Windvane mineral feeder keeps minerals dry in wet weather because of its independently mounted hood that turns in the wind.Tub and hood are both constructed of poly and will not dent, rust or corrode. An optional Face Fly attachment can be added to reduce fly problems. Contact Behlen Livestock Equipment Group, Dept. FIN, Box 569, Columbus, NE 68602, 402/564-3111.
Weighs a lot
Weigh up to 14,000 lbs. of livestock with the Chute Master 14,000 from Digi-Star.
The large-capacity scale mounts under heavy hydraulic chutes and is designed to handle load shock stress, frequent heavy use and various feedlot conditions, according to the company.
Load cells can be easily replaced, when needed, without the need to calibrate. Contact Digi-Star, Dept. FIN, 790 W. Rockwell Ave., Fort Atkinson, WI 53538, 800/225-7695.
Improve forage quality (c)
Apply forage inoculant on the go with the Appli-Pro application system from Pioneer Hi-Bred.
The system's 100-gal. water tank and applicator mount directly to harvesting equipment for forage or high-moisture corn and inject precisely metered dry concentrate, mixed with water, onto forage or grain.
A recyclable 3-liter bottle contains enough inoculant to treat 250 tons of silage or corn. A cab-mounted control panel meters the application rate and allows for adjustment on the go. If harvest is interrupted before the bottle of inoculant is emptied, the inoculant can be refrigerated up to five days to protect the live bacteria. Contact Pioneer Hi-Bred International Inc., Dept. FIN, Box 1150, Johnston, IA 50131, 515/334-6500.
Udderly healthy
ABS Global launches a new line of udder health care products called the Valiant Quality Milk System.
A bacteria-killing agent, chlorine dioxide, is an active ingredient in the Valient line that features a unique color-marking system that is visible when sprayed on teats so you know it's fighting infection between milkings. The solution keeps for 14 days after mixing without adverse affect. Contact ABS Global, Dept. FIN, 6908 River Rd., Deforest, WI 53532, 800/356-5331.

We regret that we received the wrong information for this weekend's World Community Film Festival. Here is the correct information.
The 22nd World Community Film Festival starts with two films on opening night this Friday.
Reflections: Art for an Oil-Free Coast shares the story of an expedition of fifty artists into the truly stunning and remote landscape of British Columbia's Great Bear Rainforest, a landscape they feel is threatened by Enbridge's proposed Northern Gateway pipeline and supertanker project.
Big Boys Gone Bananas! chronicles a lawsuit against controversial food giant Dole, and their threats of legal action to quash the film's release at the 2009 Los Angeles Film Festival and discredit the reputation of the filmmakers.
The filmmaking team behind Bananas! refused to be bullied, filing a counter-suit and launching their own media strategy. Big Boys Gone Bananas! is an in-depth case study of an independent filmmaker's David and Goliath battle with a corporate machine.
Opening night usually sells out, so get your tickets early!
With over 30 films shown in five downtown Courtenay venues, Saturday is considered the main event of the festival. Themes such as community economic development, environmental issues, human rights, social and women's issues, native rights and international solidarity are explored with passion, hope and creativity.
Saturday night's feature film, Occupy Love, by acclaimed director Velcrow Ripper is a journey deep inside the global revolution of the heart that is erupting around the planet.
From the Arab Spring to the European Summer, from the Occupy Movement to the global climate justice movement, a profound shift is taking place. The film features some of the world's key visionaries on alternative systems of economics, sustainability, and empathy.
Velcrow Ripper will join us via Skype for a Q & A after the film
When not viewing films, visit the Bazaar in the Upper Florence Filberg Centre where community groups will be on hand to give out information or to sell merchandise related to the various issues raised during the festival. It's also a great place to relax, have a snack and meet new friends.
A festival pass for Friday and Saturday is $32, Fri eve $14, Sat 10am-10 pm $22 or $3 for youth on Sat and Sat 8pm $10. Tickets available at the Sid Williams Theatre Box Office 338-2430 or order online at www.sidwilliamstheatre.com.
See www.worldcommunity.ca for the film fest schedule and descriptions and links to trailers of the films.

On March 20, the Record reported that charges of manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide had been brought against a Brooklyn driver for the deaths of a married couple, including "the death of the couple's premature child." The woman was six months pregnant.
On March 20, the Record reported that charges of manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide had been brought against a Brooklyn driver for the deaths of a married couple, including "the death of the couple's premature child." The woman was six months pregnant.
On the facing page, another article dealt with Cuomo's anticipated legislation to legalize abortion "until the day of birth ... in which the fetus is partially extracted before being destroyed."
If these two articles didn't appear on the same spread, I would find it hard to believe they were written on the same planet. The indictment presupposes that an unborn child is a human being with the same right to life as his parents; his death by a reckless driver is correctly designated as manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide.
In an abortion clinic, however, that same "premature child" becomes a "fetus." The staff members who premeditatedly end his life haven't murdered a child, they've "destroyed" it.
Note the absurdity: The clinic that plans its murders is endorsed and funded; the driver who didn't even have willful intent faces life in prison.
It is my duty to state that in G-d's law, abortion is murder.

Social Security has a high potential for waste. We have retired U.S. citizens living outside the country who receive SSN benefits. Do we even know if these recipients are still alive?
My father passed away in 1998 in Cyprus. My stepmom just passed away. My half-brother has access to their bank accounts. Should we assume that SSN checks are still direct deposited into their account? How would we know? My stepfather lives in Turkey and receives SSN via direct deposit.
My stepfather's first wife and son have reappeared in his life since my mom's passing. He has given his son access to his bank account. When he dies, who will report his death to the proper authorities? I doubt anyone will.
How long will their SSN checks continue to be deposited? The potential amount of waste should frighten us.
I offer a simple solution. Require that all SSN recipients return to the country for verification every seven years. If they cannot return because of old age or various health issues, then require that they visit their U.S. embassy and provide valid proof of their citizenship (for example, a U.S. passport). This does not ask much of SSN recipients.

I attended the Waywayanda Planning Board meeting that was to address any site plan issues concerning the proposed CPV natural gas power plant. That discussion never happened.
The overwhelming majority in attendance were union trade workers, their representatives, local business leaders and, not surprisingly, Middletown Mayor Joe DeStefano and a few members of the Common Council. Middletown will sell "gray water" from its sewage treatment plant to cool the power plant. The mayor stated that all of Middletown was in favor of the project. He misspoke.
All those people spoke about jobs and the money to be made by the town. No one mentioned that CPV's Payment in Lieu of Taxes agreement would dramatically reduce its tax liability. The minority of speakers were homeowners concerned about decreasing property values and the inherent dangers of this type of power plant, real concerns over health issues and possible catastrophic accidents.
I've been a dues-paying union member for more than 40 years, even in retirement. I strongly support job growth. Waywayanda is not the place for a project such as this. Remember, the tobacco industry created billions of dollars in employment revenue. Look where that got us.

Lloyd, who lives in West Phildelphia, was walking to the hospital from Chestnut Hill West station and was crossing Rex Avenue, in the crosswalk, when a woman in a black car driving towards Germantown Avenue hit her and knocked her down.
"The woman got out of the car and asked if I was alright," Lloyd said. "I said I was, but I was in shock about what had happened."
Lloyd could only recall that the woman was older, white and drove a black car. She reported the incident later to the police, but knows no other details
Lloyd said a co-worker who was heading to the hospital in a van, stopped and helped her into his van and brought her to work.
Lloyd said, however, that when she got to work, she noticed she was having a hard time standing.
"They took me to the emergency room and found I had a broken leg," she said.
She said she'll be out of work between 6 and 8 weeks.
Lloyd said she is not interested in getting anything from the woman.
"I'm not trying to get her in trouble," Lloyd said. "It wasn't a hit and run. She got out of her car and seemed very genuinely sorry and wanted to know if I was alright. But I think I'd like her to know that I was hurt. That's all."

General Education Designation Approval Process
The approval process for courses seeking to be given a general education designation.
In order for a course to be considered for a General Education designation, the submitting department must provide a copy of the Intent to Include a Course in the General Education Curriculum and they must make clear the components of the course that make it a general education course and not just a course from a given content area. In particular, courses should specifically address the ways in which the course addresses the established general education goals/objectives for the designation requested. If no goals/objectives exist for the given designation or if the course does not satisfy the existing goals/objectives then clear justification for the designation will be expected. (Note that per our bylaws this would apply to all course proposals seeking Gen Ed designation including FDS, SIS, and Guided Readings.)
Objectives have been developed for the following areas:
These objectives were generally arrived at so that they would be in line with the General Education Statement of Principles put out by the CT Department of Higher Education and the WCSU General Education Task Force definition of an Educated Person.

Out to Eat: Natalie's Mediterranean Eatery
Between its two campuses, there's a whole boatload of vegans at the University at Buffalo. Lucky for them, between the two campuses, there's Natalie's (807 Millersport Highway, Amherst, 446-9715, www.natalieseatery.com).
Yes, Natalie's serves meat, like seasoned ground beef kafta. But it's the vegans and vegetarians that flock to this Lebanese sandwich joint. The attractions start with falafel (chickpea fritters), hummus (chickpea puree) and babaganoush (eggplant), but lots of eaters make Natalie's a destination for its vegetarian burgers.
Violette Mansour makes four kinds regularly: red lentil and millet, broccoli cashew, zucchini pinenut, and perhaps the most popular, eggplant tofu.
Peeled eggplant is char-grilled, for smokiness, then ground with medium firm tofu, onions, green peppers and other stuff. It's seared on the griddle and served on pocket or flat pita, or a Kaiser roll, with spicy vinaigrette house dressing, lemony tahini sauce, and so on. (The burgers are all $6.44.)
"We also have spinach wraps, mujadarra, fried cauliflower," said daughter Tania Mansour. "Vegan people are astonished by the variety they can pick from."

An excerpt from John Main OSB, "Space to Be," MOMENT OF CHRIST (New York: Continuum, 1998), pp. 92-93.
To know ourselves, to understand ourselves and to . . .get ourselves and our problems in perspective, we simply must make contact with our spirit. All self-understanding arises from understanding ourselves as spiritual beings, and it is only contact with the universal Holy Spirit that can give us the depth and the breadth to understand. . .The way to this is not difficult. It is very simple. But it does require serious commitment. . .
The wonderful revelation that is there for all of us to discover, if only we will set out on the path with discipline, is that our spirit is rooted in God and that each of us has an eternal destiny and an eternal significance and importance. That is a primary discovery for each of us to make, that the nature we possess has this infinite potential for development and that development can only come if we undertake this pilgrimage to our own center. . . .It is only there, in the depths of our own being, that we can discover ourselves rooted in God. Meditation is just this way of making contact with our own spirit and in that contact finding the way of integration, of finding everything in our experience coming into harmony, everything in our experience judged and aligned on God.
The way of meditation is very simple. All each of us has to do is to be as still as possible in body and in spirit. . . .Learning to meditation is learning to let go of your thoughts, ideas and imagination and to rest in the depths of your own being. Always remember that. Don't think, don't use any words other than your own word, don't imagine anything. Just sound, say the word in the depths of your spirit and listen to it. Concentrate upon it with all your attention.
Why is this so powerful? Basically, because it gives us the space that our spirit needs to breathe. It gives each of us the space to be ourselves. When you are meditating you don't need to apologize for yourself and you don't need to justify yourself. All you need to do is to be yourself, to accept from the hands of God the gift of your own being.
Meditate for Thirty Minutes. Remember: Sit down. Sit still and upright. Close your eyes lightly. Sit relaxed but alert. Silently, interiorly, begin to say a single word. We recommend the prayer phrase "Maranatha." Recite it as four syllables of equal length. Listen to it as you say it, gently, but continuously. Do not think or imagine anything spiritual or otherwise. Thoughts and images will likely come, but let them pass. Just keep returning your attention – with humility and simplicity to saying your word in faith, from the beginning to the end of your meditation.
After Meditation, an excerpt from "Reverend E. in Her Red Dress", by Alice Walker, ABSOLUTE TRUST IN THE GOODNESS OF THE EARTH: New Poems (New York: Random House, 2005), pp. 64-5.
Help us to
Love one another
To shed our fears
Of unworthiness
Our habits
Of self-hatefulness
Our greed
To be accepted
As something
Other than
What we are.
Divine Mother
Keep on praying
For us
All earthlings
All children
Of this awesome
Not one of us
Why we're here
Except to Be.
Keep praying for us.
Your children
The children of Earth
Are starving
For the sight
Of something
Dying for the sound
Of something
Pray for us
To know
That nothing
Stops a lie
Like being

Glad he's not into 69's.
Quote from: VINCE Z28 on January 24, 2014, 12:32:04 AMGlad he's not into 69's. That's because everyone owns a 69.
If it's not a L78 Pacer I can't see it bringing much less being worth 100k. IMHO the white and blue is a great combo however, there are many people who really do not care for it which reduces the available buyer pool. L78 is a different case altogether and makes a huge difference because of how few L78's were made (>11k firstgens) & L78 verts were but a fraction of that. If you want a L78 conv and a pacer comes up, you probably buy it in spite it's being a pacer, where as if looking for a L35 conv you probably pass right by the pacer if you aren't specifically looking for it.
Not sure how many are known. I knew of one that was in Scottsville, KY but it was sold and no idea where it went. Originally a small block car but was built as a BB. Cant remember if it was made to be an L35 or 78 though. There is also another one that was in middle TN but not sure if its still around.. I know this forum is dedicated to the pacers of all years but not sure if they are keeping data.http://camaropacecars.com/I personally love the blue topped pacers..

WORCESTER, Mass. – Anchored by a strong defense and great goaltending, visiting MIT held host Clark University scoreless for the final 35 minutes of the contest and the Engineers collected a 7-3 win over the Cougars in Pilgrim League men's lacrosse action on Saturday afternoon at Granger Field.
MIT (2-3, 1-0 Pilgrim) was paced offensively by Ben Hessels, who registered two goals and two assists, while Mateo Pena Doll and Dan Piemont each had a pair of goals as well.
The Engineers opened the game with Hessels' first score on an unassisted tally with 9:59 left in the first period. Clark (3-5, 0-1 Pilgrim) answered back a little more than three minutes later when Jeffery Wasson evened the game with a miraculous diving score.
Hessels and Pena Doll teamed up for a score with 5:20 remaining in the period to give the Engineers a 2-1 edge. The Cougars' Chris Johnson notched his 11th score of the season with an unassisted marker with just 15 second left in the quarter to even the contest.
The second period, however, was controlled by MIT as Hessels set up Pena Doll again and Piemont notched a score of his own before Hessels added the Engineers' third goal of the frame with a little more than six minutes left in the half to make the score 5-2. Johnson gave the Cougars life when he took a feed from Wasson and cut the lead to 5-3 less than a minute later, but that would be all Clark could muster.
MIT held the Cougars scoreless in the second half and put the contest away with single goals by Nick Sisler in the third and Piemont in the fourth to wrap up the scoring.
In the end it was the Engineers' defense and stellar goalkeeping from Christopher Rullan, who turned back 16 Clark shots.
Neither team took advantage of their extra man opportunities, with Clark going 0-for-5 and the Engineers going 0-for-2, including failing to score on a two-minute extra man opportunity in the opening seconds of the third period.
Cougar netminder Kevin Ranta made nine saves and had a pair of ground balls for Clark. Johnson led the Scarlet and White with a pair of scores, while Wasson had goal and an assist.
Clark will look to get back in the win column on Wednesday with a trip to UMass-Dartmouth, while MIT hosts UMass-Boston on Tuesday.

I hope this report is not true. In Bob Wolfley's column in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel this morning he flags a story that tells us that Brett Favre had his first facial and pedicure. Brett Favre, metrosexual.
According to an Associated Press report, when Favre and his wife Deanna were in New York last week they saw a Broadway play, "Jersey Boys," and, according to Matt Hasselbeck, Favre had his first facial and a pedicure.
Hasselbeck also was in New York and spent time with his former teammate.
"He'll probably kill me for this," said the Seattle quarterback, referring to sharing that information with the press. "It was something he and his wife Deanna did together," Hasselbeck said. "I feel sorry for the woman who did the pedicure."
That is just so wrong. Favre is the personification of modern manhood, the avatar of guyness. And now he's getting a pedicure? And a facial?
Full disclosure: I had a pedicure once. I'm scarred by it to this day. (My wife gave it to me as a present.) I will never have another one. And I have never had a facial.
I thought Laura Ingraham was wrong to criticize Favre for his tears during his farewell press conference. But if she wants to go after him for this, I'll be standing right behind her.

DEAR ABBY: Is there such a thing as non-physical sexual abuse? When I was young, my father would fondle my mother when I came to sleep with them when I had a nightmare. He would also watch porn in front of me.
DEAR ABBY: Is there such a thing as non-physical sexual abuse? When I was young, my father would fondle my mother when I came to sleep with them when I had a nightmare. He would also watch porn in front of me.
As I matured, he made comments about my figure. He would barge into my room without knocking and insist he didn�t have to knock. He�d tell dirty jokes or talk about sexually inappropriate things. But with all of this, he never touched me or assaulted me.
His actions affected my self-esteem and relationships because as I grew up I thought the only thing I had to offer was being sexy. Thankfully, therapy and my husband helped me to see myself as a fully dynamic person.
Was I abused? Any information you have would be appreciated.
� Wondering in Wisconsin
DEAR WONDERING: When a parent attempts to initiate sex or watch pornography in front of a child, it is sexualizing behavior and it could also be considered �grooming� behavior. Your father�s actions were so far out of the normal boundaries that they were off the charts. And yes, it WAS a form of abuse.
� � �
DEAR ABBY: My daughter is mentally ill, homeless and on meth. A year ago, when she wasn�t so bad, she asked if I would take her 3-year-old daughter, �Lucy,� so she could get herself together. Unfortunately, she went the other direction.
It was fine when I thought that the arrangement was temporary, but when I realized I would be raising Lucy as a single parent at 49, things got hard.
My so-called friends have abandoned me, and so has my much younger boyfriend. But what is actually killing this is that I get no respite. I am an extreme introvert. Constant contact drains me. When I don�t have my �recharge� time, I tune Lucy out, and the next thing I know she has cut up the curtains or hidden my shoes. I�m afraid I�m going to lose it.
I know if I had time for my own mental health, I could be a good surrogate mother to Lucy, but if I can�t, I�m starting to think I may have to give her up, and that breaks my heart.
� End of My Rope
DEAR END: How much time do you need to recharge? Would it be an hour or hour and a half at the end of each workday? Would an afternoon during the weekends suffice? Have you discussed this with Lucy�s grandfather or her paternal grandparents? They might be willing to get involved and lighten your load. Would a neighbor watch your grandchild on a regular basis if you compensated her or him? How about the person who already takes care of Lucy while you�re at work?
Please explore these options if you haven�t already. Screaming, throwing things and leaving the girl alone are not viable scenarios. However, if you feel you might harm her, it would be better if you placed her for adoption or in foster care.

This is a pilot randomized controlled Open-label trial to compare raltegravir and nevirapine as anchor Drug in combined antiretroviral therapy(ART) for ART-naive HIV+ Chinese injection drug users who are also on methadone maintenance therapy. The investigators hypotheses include:
- In raltegravir arm compared with nevirapine arm, fewer patients will require methadone dose adjustment to abate methadone withdrawal symptoms. Also the average methadone dose to achieve adequate serum methadone concentrations in patients on the raltegravir-based regimen will be lower compared to that of patients on the nevirapine-based regimen.
- Clinical outcomes in terms of viral suppression, CD4 recovery and occurrence of opportunistic infections will be comparable in the two arms at 6 months and one year.
- Patients in the raltegravir arm will have a similar or better side effect profile, retention rate, and treatment adherence compared to those in the nevirapine arm.

When entertainment legend Neil Sedaka happened to be seated next to pianist and Lynbrook resident Jeffrey Biegel at a show featuring a then-new jazz singer, Renee Olstead, some four or five years ago, the two got to talking. They realized that they both attended Julliard School of dance, drama and music, and that they both had their roots firmed planted in classical music. And the rest, as they say, is musical history.
Sedaka, 74, a singer, songwriter, composer, pianist and author, has been in the business for half a century, and is best known as a pop icon and superstar, spewing out hit after hit in the 1950s, 60s and 70s, with chart toppers such as "The Diary," "Oh, Carol,""Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen" and "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do." Sedaka wrote hits for other artists, but often multi-tracking his own voice on his own recordings, adding harmony. His most recent release, "The Real Neil," is a CD of brand-new Sedaka acoustic material, including a few Sedaka classics — and with a very special addition — the official release of his classical composition "Manhattan Intermezzo."
Sedaka said that he's been getting "wonderful emails and letters" from around the world from fans who were surprised and delighted with the addition of the classic piece on his CD.
Manhattan Intermezzo
"I said to Jeffrey, if I ever wrote a concerto for piano, he would perform it," said Sedaka in a phone interview with Stepping Out. "And Jeff has a wonderful interpretation of the piece."
Sedaka said that "Manhattan Intermezzo" is a tribute to New York that captures the sounds and spirit of the city. "You can hear the different ethnic influences in the piece," he said. "This [classic composition] is serious music," Sedaka continued, "but it's not abstract … I am a melodist — it's a crowd pleaser. Music is there to make people feel good."

A small sliver of campus land is providing a bounty of food as the result of one student's vision and an alumnus willing to provide the resources.
The transformation from grass to garden is occurring near the Parking Services Building along UNF Drive. The garden hosts more than 50 varieties of organically grown fruits and vegetables. Everything from tomatoes and watermelons to basil and bell peppers are thriving under the care of dedicated staff and volunteers. The months between June and November are the most productive for the garden from which produce is hand picked and widely distributed throughout the campus community.
The fertile garden began with an idea. Alumna Katrina Norbom, who was then volunteer coordinator at the UNF Wildlife Sanctuary, proposed establishing a VERB (vegetables and herbs) Garden as a way to foster environmental stewardship on campus by demonstrating organic gardening. She envisioned it as an interactive educational resource where students, faculty, staff and other members of the community could become involved in organic gardening.
Other funding priorities prevented the idea from becoming an immediate reality until alumnus Bruce Ogier entered the picture. Ogier, who as a UNF student was a member of the Sawmill Slough Conservation Club, jumped at the opportunity to provide startup funds now that he is a successful entrepreneur.
Ogier has always loved gardening. Growing up in Jacksonville, he has fond memories of his grandfather Tate's expansive vegetable garden off Ebersol Road in the Southside. As a result, Ogier caught green-thumb fever at an early age.
Graduating from UNF with a bachelor's degree in 1974, he pursued a financial career and is currently president of Capital Analysts of Jacksonville, Florida, Inc. Through his involvement with the Student Affairs Community Council, Ogier has remained in close contact with UNF. His love of gardening made for a perfect gift as part of The Power of Transformation campaign.
Ogier and his brother, Frederick Jr., who lives in Dallas, donated the startup funding in memory of their parents, Frederick C. and Ophelia Tate Ogier.
The responsibility for the day-to-day operation of the VERB Garden falls to AyoLane Halusky, chief ranger of the Wildlife Sanctuary, and Jonathan Felts,
VERB Garden educational and volunteer coordinator
Halusky emphasizes that the VERB Garden is an ongoing experiment with many ideas to be considered. Under the current operation, anyone who volunteers at the Sanctuary is entitled to share in the garden's bounty. Eventually, Halusky hopes to make the garden's produce available at Market Days at the Student Union, with money raised devoted to continuation of the project. The multi-generational appeal of the garden is especially rewarding to Halusky. "It was very cool to see an early alumnus of UNF join with today's students to move this project forward," he said.
The project is much more than merely growing organic fruits and vegetables, said Felts, who offered a series of gardening workshops this fall primarily for students. The programs covered everything from an introduction to organic gardening to composting.
Halusky and Felts see many future applications for the garden. Members of the community may be invited to volunteer and help raise crops side-by-side with students. The garden has already been incorporated into educational programs given by Wild Life Sanctuary staff to thousands of school children each year.
The future of the project is bright, Halusky said because of the long-standing support of Dr. Mauricio Gonzalez, vice president of Student and International Affairs. "He has been very supportive of this project from the beginning and wants to see us expand someday."

New Rolex Models at Baselworld 2018
The authors of the Chrono24 Magazine hand-pick the best watch offers on Chrono24 – from affordable daily drivers to famous watch icons and exceptional collector's pieces.
If you want to buy one of the watches, simply click on the offer and place your order on Chrono24 today.
This week's offers:
This watch is an understated icon and one of the most common Rolex watches you see in the wild. The Datejust has been in Rolex's catalog for a long time. There have been so many different variants that it's pretty much impossible for someone not to find a model they like. While the modern versions are larger in size to meet the needs of the market, the reference 16014 model with its 36-mm case and potential jubilee bracelet is a real bargain.
Depending on its condition and accessories, you can pick one up for well under €4,000. The Datejust works well with jeans and t-shirts; however, it is also a great choice if you would like to dress smart or even wear a 3-piece suit. Clean and simple, this is a great Rolex that has already stood the test of time. As we often say: it's a lot of watch for the money.
On the wrist it looks like any other dress watch: elegant and slim lines, a silver dial, a rose gold case, and 43 mm in diameter. Then you take it off the wrist and appreciate its thickness or, better yet, its thinness. It's only 5.25 mm! Yes, the Piaget Altiplano is not only a beautiful timepiece but also one of the thinnest automatic mechanical watches on the market.
The Altiplano line of Piaget has been known for super thin dress watches for a number of years. As time goes on, Altiplanos become thinner and thinner, just like we saw this year at SIHH. This is not only a great concept but also a very cool watch. It's sure to garner a lot of talk, and not just from watch enthusiasts.
The name that put Junghans in the history books is undoubtedly Max Bill. The collaboration between the German brand and the Swiss architect/industrial designer led to the creation of the iconic watches that formed – and in some way, still form – the basis for many Bauhaus-inspired time pieces. Many brands have tried to copy the Max Bill throughout the years – some even with mediocre success.
The white dial, thin black indices, and simplicity still work almost 70 years later, proving the genius of Bauhaus and Bill. Junghans offers a wide variety of watches in their Max Bill model line from simple, time-only watches to chronographs. The masterpiece, however, will always be the time-only 38-mm mechanical version with a white dial. It's an iconic time piece that is, as the saying goes, often imitated, never duplicated.

Demi Lovato & Avril Lavigne: Y100 Jingle Ball!
Demi Lovato and Avril Lavigne pose backstage at Y100 Jingle Ball 2011 held at the BankAtlantic Center on Saturday (December 10) in Sunrise, Fla.
The 19-year-old singer shared with JustJared.com about performing with her idol Kelly Clarkson at Z100′s Jingle Ball the night before.
"She actually was backstage and she was like 'we should sing a duet together' and I was like 'of course, anything you want.' And then we basically came up with the idea to sing a Christmas carol together and it came in place yesterday. It was amazing, I was so excited," Demi said.
"My mom," Demi said about her hero of the year. "Because she's been through so much and she's overcome a lot and she's still standing strong. She's awesome."

John Cena was supposed to help start the Daytona 500, but Mother Nature is obviously a fan of The Rock. She should enjoy tonight's show, then, as the two WrestleMania rivals are supposed to come face to face in Portland. Raw is live from the Rose Garden on USA.
Match 1 � CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan
And we're wasting no time tonight, getting right down to business with Punk and Bryan revisiting their match-up from this week's live SmackDown. Before we can get to that, Chris Jericho interrupts the proceedings looking quite miffed. What he has to say is apparently more important than the match, and it seems mostly to be Jericho taking more offense to Punk's claim to be the best in the world. Punk eventually gets sick of listening to Jericho calling him a wanna-be and a plagiarist, and the champ retorts that all of them have taken things from the guys who paved the way. Guys like Bret Hart, for instance. That doesn't really calm Jericho down, as he insists that he is actually the best in the world at everything he does. Punk wonders if Y2J is just trying to prove it to himself. Could it be jealousy that is motivating him? Saying he was born to be a pro wrestler, Punk draws the distinction between the two of them by questioning all of Jericho's pursuits outside the WWE. Jericho says everything else is window dressing, and that the only reason he came back was to embarrass Punk on the biggest stage possible. That's fine with him, because the champ thinks they could possibly have the greatest wrestling match in WrestleMania history. Bryan finally comes down the ramp, accompanied by A.J., John Laurinaitis and David Otunga. The ref tries to restore some semblance of order, and we go out to commercial. Did I mention that Teddy Long and Santino Marella are out with the announcers too? Punk starts taking over the match after a second commercial break. He goes up top to drop the big elbow, but he hurt himself too much to make the cover. Otunga jumps on the apron, and the two champs take each other out with double cross bodies. Santino goes after Otunga, Laurinaitis and Long get into it, and Bryan tries to walk out on the match. Sheamus throws him back into the ring to get hit by a GTS, but Laurinaitis tells the ref to call for the bell. Long will have none of it, shoving Johnny Ace to the mat. The GMs and their proxies argue while Punk tries to celebrate on the stage. Jericho seizes the moment by attacking from behind, slamming him on the stage and locking him in the Walls of Jericho.
With the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin, Edge and others giving their two cents on it, we revisit the Undertaker-Triple H match from last year's WrestleMania. It was pretty awesome, but will they be able to top it this year? #itsgoingtobetough
Match 2 � Kelly Kelly vs. Nikki Bella
Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler assure us it's Nikki, anyway. Kelly manages to roll through a pinfall attempt and use a bridge to secure the win. That was... actual wrestling. Well played.
Match 3 � John Cena vs. The Miz
Before any in-ring action can get underway, Miz wants to whine a bit about how he puts in so much work promoting the WWE but hasn't been given a WrestleMania match yet. Yeah, life's a you-know-what. Miz tries to make his case for a high profile match by taking it to Cena, but that only lasts until the Five Knuckle Shuffle and Attitude Adjustment set up the STF. Miz quickly taps out, leaving a smile on Cena's face. Meanwhile, The Rock is watching on a monitor backstage, jumping around a bit. Apparently he's not coming out just yet, though.
Match 4 � R-Truth and Kofi Kingston vs. Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger vs. Primo and Epico � World Tag Team Championship Triple Threat Match
Wow, there are enough tag teams in WWE to have a Triple Threat Match (#thisjustin). I would not have guessed that. The early action sends nearly everyone out to the floor, conveniently allowing a commercial break. Kingston stars when we return, hitting a double Boom Drop. Guys are flying all over the place for a few minutes until Swagger is hit with the Backstabber and pinned by the champs. For some reason, Kane chooses the moment right after the bell to make his way out, planting Epico and Ziggler with a double choke slam. Truth tries to battle him and gets a choke slam of his own.
Long and Laurinaitis exchange insults backstage. Long calls Johnny Ace a horse's ass before getting chased away. Thank goodness we are keeping the in-ring action short to give these two more time to argue!
A video package takes us back to the birth of the �hoeski.� And now we get to hear from Eve herself, though what she can say at this point is beyond me. Eve says there isn't a man in the world who wouldn't enjoy being used by a woman like her. Well... She says men should blame themselves for their weaknesses. Not sure what the point of that was. Kelly Kelly challenges Eve on her personality change but simply gets a dismissive laugh. And since pimping the WWE Studios movies is part of the deal on Raw, we get a look at the upcoming flick �Bending the Rules.� Two words: Poor Edge.
Main Event � Big Show and Sheamus vs. Mark Henry and Cody Rhodes
Rhodes has a quick announcement about Floyd Mayweather's upcoming May 5 fight against Miguel Cotto. Why? Because it's a great segue into another embarrassing Big Show WrestleMania moment, which in this case means Show getting clocked by Money Mayweather at WrestleMania 24. As Rhodes wants to part of Show, Sheamus decides to make the match a short one by pinning Henry after a Brogue Kick.
The Portland fans go nuts as The Rock makes his way to the ring. He says he's covered in goose bumps because it feels so damn good, though it sounds like he may be getting somewhat of a mixed reaction from some of the fans. A �boots to asses� chant does ring out for a bit. The Rock admits that he is not around every week, but he knows he would not exist without the WWE fans. He explains that when he said he was back for good, he meant it, though that didn't mean he would be around every single week. Rocky also says he respects the audience's intelligence and his heart and soul is in the business, and that the only reason he is standing there now is because he loves the WWE. Turning to Cena, he says that for years, he thought John was a phony. He disputes Cena's assertion that he has �gone Hollywood� and is unapproachable, stating that he doesn't want to talk to Cena, but would rather slap John in the face with a piece of Kung Pao chicken. Then, for some reason, he calls Cena a Kung Pao bitch. The Rock goes on to say the people are tired of Cena, but they aren't tired of being entertained, which is where he comes in. After some further exploration of his ability to make the crowd chant whatever he says, The Rock talks about Cena's missing balls, which finally gets John to come out and join the �fun.� Cena fesses up to being the guy who runs down The Rock when he's not here, but also when he is here. He draws the distinction between The Rock and Dwayne Johnson, saying he likes the former but not the latter. Cena tells Rocky he's going to beat the hell out of him at WrestleMania before leaving and telling his rival he can �continue trending.� The Rock isn't amused by the way Cena said his piece and left, insisting that The Rock and Dwayne Johnson are the same person. He's got to wrap this up, because it's gone quite long. Smell what he's cooking, then see us back here in seven!
Nick Tylwalk found himself hungry for Chinese food for some reason after tonight's closing segment. Send your best Kung Pao chicken recipes to him using Twitter, Google+ or good old fashioned email.

Puzzle pieces
With the final day of Spring Training around the corner, the Bisons roster is really starting to fall into place. In large part, the Bisons benefit from the battles forged from the spots the Indians had to fill.
One of the biggest decisions to be made happened yesterday with Cliff Lee being awarded the fifth spot in the rotation. The other two candidates, Jeremy Sowers and Aaron Laffey, will throw every fifth day for the Herd. Another debate was settled late this afternoon.
The Indians optioned 2B Josh Barfield to the Buffalo Bisons roster as many of you were on the drive home. In the same move, RHP Scott Elarton was also reassigned to minor league camp.
Read the complete release here and find out more about Barfield and Elarton.
Following today's game former Bisons skipper, Eric Wedge told the media more moves will be made Wednesday with hopes of having the Indians roster set prior to breaking camp and entering exhibition play in Atlanta.
The next 48 hours should give us the final few moves to put the final pieces into place for the Bisons roster that will open the season in Norfolk.

Each Halloween there are many classic themes people use to inspire their costume choice, but every year there are some that stand out from the rest.
This year Halloween spending is projected to rise 9 percent to $6.86 billion, according to a survey conducted by BIGResearch on behalf of the National Retail Federation trade group. There are two reasons for the increase: More Americans are celebrating the holiday, and more American adults are dressing up in costumes as part of the fun. Based on the survey, it is expected Americans will spend $1 billion on costumes this year.
As consumers put more focus on finding the right costume, there has been a trend to "mash up" or create unique costumes by blending elements from several existing costumes.
For those who are either too time-pressed or not as creative to create their own costumes, don't worry. There are plenty of costume manufacturers putting fresh twists on old themes. They find just the right elements to be recognizable, while freshening up the concept to make it look like something never seen before.
Pirates of all kinds are very popular right now among all age groups. This pirate costume, manufactured by Roma, is a perfect example of how the right elements—boots, swords, and hats—can be used to establish the theme, but the style of the costume and the material it's made of provide a unique twist.
Although pirates are a very traditional Halloween theme, they have become more popular in the wake of moves such as Walt Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean."

Looking for Texas seaside fun within an hour of bustling Houston's art museums, medical centers and sports teams? A Galveston vacation rental home, condo, or apartment is a smart money-saving choice. Stay near Galveston's Strand Historic District, or choose a canal or ocean bay view vacation rental for the family. Pedal a bicycle or surrey along the beach. Or rent an umbrella and lounge chair, and just kickback and relax and scan the waves for surfers. Fish, hike, or enjoy the excellent bird watching. If you're in the mood, rollerblade or horseback ride along the beach. View the tree sculptures. Visit the Bishop's Palace. Take a harbor tour. Tee off for a round of golf at Moody Gardens or Galveston Country Club. Then relax at your Galveston, Texas, money-saving vacation rental home.
Galveston's money-saving vacation rentals are on a thin island strip about 50 miles south of Houston, Texas. Almost all Galveston's vacation rental homes, condos and apartments are within 10 minutes of the Strand Historic District on this thin island strip. Galveston's Strand Historic District is renowned for its Victorian buildings, ample shopping, eating and entertainment. The whole family will also enjoy a visit to the Galveston Island Railroad Museum. Between the Strand and the waterfront, dining choices are varied enough to please both fine palates and fussy kids.
A convenient trolley connects the Strand Historic District and the waterfront. A bevy of waterfront attractions and the Cruise Ship Terminal are just minutes away from Galveston's money-saving vacation rental homes, condos and apartments. Waterfront attractions include the beaches, Pier 19, Pier 21, the Texas Seaport Museum, and the Tall Ship Elissa. Beach activities for the family include relaxation, horseback riding, rollerblading, surfing, and bird watching. It's your choice with a money-saving Galveston vacation rental, and it can even include an ocean or bay view.
Pier 19's educational Ocean Star Offshore Energy Center and Museum features an offshore oil rig. The Pier 21 Theater features short films on Galveston history. Kids will enjoy learning about Jean Lafitte, the pirate who made Galveston his home island. The whole family will be mesmerized by the short film on how Galveston survives class 5 hurricanes like the Great Storm of 1900. The films are short enough that there is plenty time to rollerblade, bicycle, run or walk along the beach and dine at a waterfront restaurant. Then head back to the comfort of your money-saving Galveston vacation rental home, or enjoy the Strand's night life.

Associated Press
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. (AP) - Volunteers have pulled on their Santa hats, and are answering phone lines and monitoring wall-size tracking screens as NORAD Tracks Santa begins its 57th annual goodwill mission.
The first shift of Santa trackers started taking calls early Monday, telling children - and some adults - when Santa is due at their house. The last shift won't end until nearly 24 hours later.
The volunteers are working from Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colo., home of the North American Aerospace Defense Command. About seven hours into the day, they'd received more than 24,000 calls.
Some kids wanted to know more than where Santa was and when he would be at their house.
"How old is Santa?" one caller asked. The answer to that one is in the FAQs that NORAD hands out to volunteers: "It's hard to know for sure, but NORAD intelligence indicates Santa is at least 16 centuries old."
Other questions require the volunteers to think fast:
"How do reindeer fly?"
"How many elves does Santa have?"
"Does Santa leave presents for dogs?"
One little boy from Missouri phoned in to ask what time Santa delivered toys to heaven, said volunteer Jennifer Eckels, who took the call. The boy's mother got on the line to explain that his sister had died this year.
"I think Santa headed there first," Eckels told him.
NORAD suggests its volunteers tell callers that Santa won't drop off the presents until all the kids in the home are asleep. The response depends on the caller's age.
"Ohhhhhhh," said an 8-year-old from Illinois, as if trying to digest a brand-new fact.
"Thank you so much for that information," said a grateful mom from Michigan.
NORAD, a joint U.S.-Canada command responsible for protecting the skies over both nations, says its Santa-tracking rite was born of a humble typo in a newspaper ad in 1955.
The ad in a Colorado Springs newspaper invited children to call Santa but inadvertently listed the phone number for the Continental Air Defense Command, NORAD's predecessor, also based in Colorado Springs.
CONAD officers played along, and word spread that this Cold War military command charged with guarding the U.S. against an attack by the Soviet Union was also telling kids where Santa was.
Since then, NORAD Tracks Santa has gone global, progressing through bulletins on AM radios and black & white TVs to updates on Facebook, Twitter and smartphone aps.
Last year, volunteers answered almost 102,000 calls, nearly 25% more than the previous year. They also answered more than 7,700 emails (noradtrackssanta(at)outlook.com).
The NORAD Tracks Santa website attracted 18.9 million unique visitors from 220 countries and territories during December 2011.
This year, the program has more than 1 million likes on Facebook and more than 114,000 followers on Twitter days before the tracking operation got under way.
Reach NORAD Tracks Santa at 877-HI-NORAD (877-446-6723).
Volunteers also will post updates online, http://www.noradsanta.org; on Facebook, http://www.facebook.com/noradsanta; and on Twitter, https://twitter.com/NoradSanta .

Episode 1 - Fair Play: Disguised as a troupe of Bavarian acrobats three members of Robin's loyal band head for the annual fair at Nottingham. Their "undercover" plan works well until the unscrupulous gypsy fortune teller, Madam Zsa Zsa, reveals their secret, resulting in their arrest by the Sheriff of Nottingham.
Episode 2 - The Secret Pool: Robin Hood and Maid Marian go fishing in a hidden pool - a tributary loaded with large fish that leads directly to Sir Cedric's private lake. After observing Cedric's men arresting a poor serf for poaching, Marian visits the eccentric lord to beg for the man's release while Robin tries a different approach - using Cedric's lifelong love of fishing as "bait."
Episode 3 - The Black Five: For once Robin Hood and his arch-enemy, the Sheriff of Nottingham, work together hoping to capture the Duke DeMoreville, a power-hungry monster that villagers call "The Hangman Of Leicester.".
Episode 4 - One Man's Meat: Friar Tuck and Robin can't wait for their usually sumptuous dinner at the farmhouse of Master Edmund Woodstock. This time, however, the feast turns into a fiasco. The Master insists that everyone, including his undernourished servants, eat only one dish and a dry grain mixture he proudly calls the "New Ambrosia." It's up to Robin to convince the eccentric farmer that the mealy stuff is hardly a meal at all.

Handwashing 101
One of the easiest ways for pathogens/bacteria to be transmitted to food is through our hands. Considering all of the things that are touched throughout a given day it is no wonder that handwashing plays a crucial role in the foodservice industry, and more generally speaking, when handling food at all. This is why the installation of hand sinks is such an imperative part of the kitchen design process, not to mention a requirement by your health code. The National Restaurant Association shared this helpful Hand Washing Guide that emphasizes the exact steps and time neccessary to ensure germs are eliminated. This basic, everyday task is one that is incredibly important to the over-arching food safety goal along with the health of your patrons. Did You Know? As a general rule of thumb, a hand sink is required by your health code to be within 20′ of every food handling point or food preparation area in your commercial kitchen. Doing this not only ensures there are enough wash stations for all your staff but it promotes better food safety as employees won't have to walk far to lather up. Hand washing demands a set-up explicitly for this task. No food can be washed or cleaned in the hand sink, just as you can't wash hands in the 3 compartment cleaning sink or the prep sink. The hand sinks at your establishment should be complete with both cold and hot water, soap, and paper towels. (This all-in-one soap and paper towel station is a great wall-mount unit to install by your hand sinks and is a popular favorite for our customers!) The hand sinks at Mission come in a number of sizes to cater to your specific needs and volume, with many tight, space-saving designs available. There are also a number of beneficial features for specific models including faucets and side splashes to prevent splatter and slippery floors: At Mission Restaurant Supply you will find a product offering featuring the most trusted foodservice manufacturers including Advance Tabco, Crown Verity and Lakeside, who offer mobile hand washing stations ideal for caterers and other on-the-go applications, in addition to Jaxpro, who hosts some of the lowest prices online! Integrating hand-washing signs by your washing stations in addition to the restrooms is another way to promote the importance of this task (not to mention health inspectors give it a big thumbs up). Stock up on hand sinks for your commercial kitchen and implement the best food safety practices and training at your facility. For questions regarding which unit is right for you, please feel free to give our sales team a call at 800-319-0690 Monday through Friday 7 AM to 7 PM (Central Standard Time).
