Joe Daley, who was born in Chestnut Hill and graduated from Plymouth Whitemarsh High School won the 2012 Constellation Senior Players Championship at Fox Chapel Country Club in Fox Chapel, Pa., on Sunday, July 1, despite having two former British Open champions and one former Masters champions as opponents.
The 51-year-old Daley, who now lives in Scottsdale, Ariz., won his first Championship Tour title finishing with a two-under-par 68 for a 72-hole score of 14 under 266 and a two-stroke victory over Tom Lehman, the 1996 British Open champion. Daley outdueled final-round players Mark Calcavecchia (72) and Fred Couples (71).
A relative unknown, Daley quit his job as a credit manager in 1992 at age 32 to pursue a career as a professional golfer.
After working on his game for 20 years, his hard work and relentless pursuit of success finally culminated in his championship win on July 1.
The victory earned Daley $405,000 and an exemption on the Champions Tour through July 1, 2013.
In an interview following the final round of the Senior Players Championship, Daley said he consulted his caddy, Patrick Keef, before making the 21-foot shot.
"I just picked my spot above the hole because I knew it was gonna break the fall line hard right and it did," Daley said. "I had it with the right speed, and it went in – so wow – what else can I say? It doesn't get any better than that for me."

I have the mls plugin for security. Today's scan revealed several Read/Write errors:
Eli said this in answer to someone else asking similar question:
It just means that my plugin was unable to read/scan the contents of that file. This also does not necessarily mean that the permissions on those files are "wrong" (although that is sometimes the reason for the error). In this case, given the other problems you have said that you are having on this server, my intuition tells me that your server is not meeting your system resource needs in many ways. All these errors could simply be caused be the memory_limit being set too low on the server, or the server just may not be powerful enough to run this site with everything that is currently going on with it. It is true that an infected site, or a site that is being targeted by hackers, will cause more load on the server's resources, and you will notice this more on a smaller/light-weight server.
You'll need to look in the server's log files to be sure of what the problems are that are causing these errors. But I can already tell you that my best advice would be to move your site to a better server.
Should I worry? Can this be fixed?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks so much,

Monaco's million-dollar fender bender may have gotten all the attention, but supercars suffer injuries all the time. This kiss from a New York taxi on a Maybach 62 doesn't look serious — until you hear the $24,000 repair estimate.
Caught by tipster Ellis in downtown Manhattan, the driver of the $460,000 Maybach confessed to the replacement costs, which involve shipping several pieces from Germany and exacting paint matching. Perhaps when it's time to sell, the Maybach owner can advertise it as "updated."

Dentist Who 'Invoiced' Patient For Negative Reviews, Getting Slammed On Yelp
from the these-things-have-a-way-of-coming-back dept
Of course, as with any typical Streisand Effect situation, all this ended up doing is leading to a hell of a lot more attention to the situation and the negative comments. But, these days, things can go even further than just driving more attention to content someone wanted disappeared. It can lead to even further backlash -- especially on sites involving reviews -- as we've seen with authors who get dinged for questionable actions. If you go take a look at Yelp's page for Stacy Makhnevich the one star reviews are flowing in... many of them calling her out for what she did. Oh, and Robert Lee's review, which kicked this whole mess off... is Yelp's "featured" review at the top of the page. Her current total review rating is at a star and a half. It used to be much, much better.

Practical Way To Cut Medical Costs
There are a lot of reasons for the high cost of medical care in the U.S., many of them having to do with the cost of evolving cures for formerly incurable illnesses, miraculous drug treatments and the fact that people are living longer these days.
We don't want to suggest potential cures for these kinds of seemingly insoluble problems, but we do have some basic, common sense thoughts which could still save a lot of money while streamlining the medical system.
The idea came to us while we were reading a study by the Weill Cornell Medical College, the University of Toronto and the Medical Group Management Association, which concluded that U.S. physicians and their staffs spend almost four times more time dealing with health insurers and health payers, than do doctors in Canada. This additional administrative time is figured in the fees charged to patients and their insurers.
The study calculated that if U.S. doctors had administrative costs similar to their brethren in Canada, the savings in health dollars to the U.S. would about $27 billion. This might seem like a pittance when compared to the overall health costs in the U.S., but we have to start somewhere and this is an area which does not touch on the quality of treatment. It just makes sense.
Canada has a single payer health system. If we don't want to have such a system in the U.S., there certainly should be no objection to uniform forms which document services and medical necessity and provide treatment summaries to minimize the administrative burden on the doctor's office staff. Rather than having to "recreate the wheel" every time an insurer asks for information, the use of standardized formats by all carriers will make it easier for the doctor's office to comply with the request and to comply in a timely, cost effective manner. Like anything else, when you repeat the same procedures over and over again, you become familiar with them and it becomes easier for you to fill in the information on a familiar form.
Insurance companies should be expected to jointly design a series of reporting forms for U.S. doctors which sets forth the information the insurers need while providing doctors and their staffs with a user-friendly, standard record to complete.
Such standardized forms, devised by the insurance companies themselves, should be used by every health insurer so that once doctors and their staffs become familiar with them, it will take less time and effort to complete them, and to do so correctly the first time.
Why is this important? Because the study found that doctor's nurses and medical assistants spent more than 20 hours a week per doctor on tasks related to health insurance plans, more than 10 times that spent by the same staff in Canada.
Evaluation of the time spent by senior office administrators and clerical staff told the same story – substantially more time spent in U.S. offices than in Canada. If time is money, and it is, then it is easy to see that administrative waste is eating up a much larger chunk of the medical pie here than it is in Canada.
If health insurers, whose profits are soaring these days, would cooperate and spend the time and effort required to devise standardized reports, it would cut down on the heavy administrative costs doctors pay their staffs (and charge patients for), while streamlining the medical reimbursement system.
Such a move should save appreciable money and maybe a few bucks would fall off the table for patients. What a concept!

The Circle 04.12
Posted on 19 December 2012
Ice whales: where are they going?Download The Circle
This edition of The Circle is dedicated to the Arctic's ice whales: the bowhead, the largest whale in polar waters and the longest-lived mammal species on Earth; the narwhal, whose long tusk has mystified humans for years; and the beautiful white beluga, a sentinel of the Arctic Ocean's health.
In September 2012, it became clear that the arctic sea ice extent was a record low this year. In this issue, we are looking at the dramatic changes that are currently taking place, and the impact that these developments may have on arctic cetaceans.
As extractive industries are increasing activities in the Arctic, the observed summer-time melting of arctic sea ice has already far exceeded the worst-case projections from climate models of the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The time to implement effective climate change adaptation measures is now. We need to strengthen the linkages between policy makers, scientists, local communities, and industry, to be able to mitigate the quickly increasing threats faced by arctic cetaceans and the people that depend on them.

AirTran Airways may take home this year's award for most innovative method of traumatizing travelers. Harry Marsh and his fiancee, Kaitlin Rush, are suing the airline because they say cockroaches scuttled out of air vents and carry-on compartments shortly after their flight from Charlotte to Houston took off. Rush says she felt nauseous on the flight and later they were forced to throw out some of their belongings because they were worried that they'd been infested with cockroaches. They claim that a flight attendant just raised her finger to her lips as if to shush them when they pointed the bugs out.
The couple say they're entitled to $100,000 from the airline for mental and emotional distress. The suit may have serious legal implications if they win, as it would allow everyone who'se lived in an apartment in New York to sue the city.

BAYOU CORNE, LA (WAFB) - Work near the giant sinkhole in south Louisiana was stopped Sunday due to increased tremors.
Officials reported the underground activity began increasing last Wednesday. Assumption Parish officials said the tremors are not strong enough to indicate further collapse.
The sinkhole grew by three acres last month, bringing its total size to about 15 acres.
This weekend marked the ninth month since hundreds living nearby were forced from their homes.
Bubbles were spotted in Bayou Corne and Grand Bayou in June 2012. Two months later, the ground opened up and left a nine-acre sinkhole. Residents were evacuated and have been for the past seven months. Most affected residents began receiving weekly checks from Texas-Brine in the amount of $875 per week.
On March 13, Texas-Brine, the Houston based company that owns the salt dome that caused the sinkhole, announced it would begin assessing the homes and offering buyouts and settlements for the 350 people evacuated.

After a tumultuous years-long process of trying to establish a homeless female veterans' home in Milford, Home of the Brave has officially signed a lease for a location near downtown Milford.
After a tumultuous years-long process of trying to establish a homeless female veterans' home in Milford, Home of the Brave has officially signed a lease for a location near downtown Milford.
Home of the Brave signed a year-long lease on Friday to use the previous location of God's Way to Recovery, located at 9 Causey Ave., which served as a transitional facility for homeless men until February of this year.
In 2012, Home of the Brave planned to open the facility on Griffith Lake Drive in Milford, but because of the need for rezoning and adamant disapproval from local residents, Home of the Brave abandoned hopes of establishing the facility at that location. That house is currently for sale.
The Home of the Brave has not faced the same negative response from the community this time around, said Home of the Brave Executive Director Jessica Finan, but rather has received support and positive feedback.
"There's been a lot of support going forward with this project," she said. "It's a learning process starting a new program, but we're excited to move forward. It's been a long time coming."
City Councilman Dirk Gleysteen said he is pleased to support the veterans through supporting this new downtown facility.
"I think it's a good location for that, it's easily accessible and it's something that the local community needs," Gleysteen said. "It's something that we should do to continue to support our service men and women."
The lease signed with God's Way to Recovery owner Roger Wood on Friday will allow Home of the Brave to utilize the historic building to house up to eight homeless female veterans and children.
Finan said he receives calls weekly from female veterans, some of whom are mothers, about available housing, and she has been referring those with immediate need to other local housing facilities.
"When people call and are imminently homeless, they can't wait around for weeks or months," she said. "First we want to pilot the program and see the need. If we see the program exceeding the occupancy of eight, we could go back to the City of Milford to request an increase."
The maximum occupancy of eight residents, which would include homeless female veterans and any children they may have, is an exceptional use stipulation set by the City of Milford. From its previous use by God's Way to Recovery, the building is zoned for commercial use and has the proper variances to operate as a facility for the homeless.
While Roger Wood of God's Way to Recovery was hoping to get the lease signed in October, a few extra renovations were needed to get the house up to standards. Wood and volunteers worked to repaint the front and back porches, install carpeting, fix sinks, redo a bathroom, fix rotten boards and whatever else the historic house needed to be ready for new tenants. Wood said approximately $15,000 to $18,000 was spent on renovations.
"I feel good that this place that I've used for 14 years to help men, now it can be used to help the veteran women," Wood said. "To have a place like this right in the city of Milford, it's a good feeling because you're helping the veterans, especially the women veterans, and I'd like to see the community also jump in and do whatever they can to help."
The three-story house, originally built in 1907 by Congressman John Causey, includes a full basement, seven bedrooms, five bathrooms, rec room, chapel room, office, kitchen, family room, living room and attached apartment.
While Wood and his crews have renovated parts of the house, finishing touches, such as furniture, will be the responsibility of Home of the Brave. Wood said he plans to work with the organization on obtaining moderately-priced furniture from local God's Way to Recovery stores.
"I have the heart for this type of work and I'm going to help any way that I can," Wood said. "I think Milford will be proud to have a place like this, right here in the center of town. Hopefully they will get the support from the people in the city of Milford."

Are mining companies doing enough with their data?
The short answer is probably not. Many miners are building data management platforms that pull together data from programmable logic controllers, SCADA systems, specialized applications and sensors. They typically use the data to conduct high-level analytics and produce reports, but I believe they are missing a much larger opportunity to use analytics to gain deeper, more timely insight into operations.
By taking a more sophisticated approach—and taking advantage of advancing analytics tools and techniques—mining companies can extract significantly more value from the wealth of data they are collecting, and use it to drive greater efficiency and effectiveness in the business.
What kind of analytics can miners use and how can they benefit?
Analytics technologies are advancing rapidly. Mining companies can now use a range of analytics tools to measure more accurately several aspects of their businesses and be more proactive in managing operations. Examples include:
Video analytics—Use various types of cameras for real-time measurement of activities, such as product size distribution on conveyor belts, or froth size and bubble collapsing rate in the flotation process.
Asset analytics—Identify equipment problems before they happen, enabling predictive maintenance and rapid repairs. For instance, miners can install asset health sensors to measure equipment vibration and bearing temperature.
Process analytics—Find causes of quality problems and increase efficiency of both the process and the engineering talent managing the process. For example, process analytics can help miners better understand how the recovery in flotation correlates with floculant concentration and pH.
Production analytics—Determine what to do to improve production performance in mines, concentration plants and ports using a real-time process model to generate "what-if" analyses and answer questions such as "What is more influential to improve mine throughput—adding one more shovel or more trucks?"
What are some analytics best practices that mining companies can adopt?
My advice is to take a look at what other industries (banking, insurance, retail) are doing to proactively use information to support their businesses. Companies like Amazon know their customers' behaviors and offer additional products based on these interests. For instance, the retailer probably knows how frequently I buy printer supplies, who my favorite book authors are and the style of puzzle I enjoy. Mining companies can take a similar approach and use analytics to understand the patterns of behavior in their processes.
As for leading practices, high-performance miners use a wide variety of data sources to make the business more profitable. They embed analytics in decision making, target business outcomes with analytics and establish a centralized analytics function with leadership at the C-suite level.
Rumor has it you enjoy traveling with your family. Are there any analytics capabilities that apply to family management on trips?
I make it a point to travel twice per year with my family. We have been to Disneyland, Las Vegas, Italy, Cape Town and so many other interesting places. Like many travelers, I use online tools to select hotels and read other travelers' opinions about the destination. I even do a virtual "fly over" to assess a hotel's swimming pool and surrounding neighborhoods before I make a booking. I think of this as using available data to make a more informed decision for my family.
You use words like "multivariate statistics" and "similarity-based modeling," which make you sound like a big data buff. Do you have any non-data-related interests?
I'm into music, especially Brazilian Bossa Nova and Jazz. But since we're talking about music, have you ever wondered if the Beatles or the Rolling Stones were more influential to music development? I recently read an article1 that shows how analytics and a tool called principal component analysis can provide a definitive answer. Check it out to see if you agree.

It's nice to have a headset on your desk telephone, for handsfree conversations. A number of phones have a headset jack, either of the submini plug used by cell phones, or using a phone handset jack. Many companies buy headset units that plug into the handset line to provide a headset, some of them are even wireless.
But bluetooth headsets today are cheap, standardized and have a competitive market. And they are of course wireless. Many people already have them for their cell phone. I have seen a very small number of desk phones support having a bluetooth headset, and that shouldn't be al that expensive, but it's rare and only on high-end phones.
Here's the idea: Put bluetooth headset support into the PBX. Bluetooth headsets can't dial, they can effectively only go on-hook and off-hook with a single button. You would associate (in the PBX) your bluetooth headset with your desk phone. A bluetooth master would be not too far from your desk, and tied into the PBX, or into a PC that talks to the PBX. When your BT headset was in range of this master, it would be tied to ith with Bluetooth. (You would have to do an actual bluetooth pairing in advance. In addition, many people have bluetooth headsets normally linked to their cell phone, and call attempts from the headset go to the cell phone. The system would have to switch that over to the PBX.)
I wrote earlier about the bluetooth vibrator watch. I pushed this in part to promote the idea that phones should (almost) never ring. That ringing is rude to others and violates your own privacy, too.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) Lovie Smith talks about making the Tampa Bay Buccaneers relevant again.
And, the third coach the struggling franchise has hired to try to end a playoff drought that's grown to six seasons doesn't think it will take nearly as long as last year's 4-12 finish might suggest.
Smith not only has a proven track record as an NFL head coach, but inherited a talented nucleus the club began accumulating under Raheem Morris and later Greg Schiano, who was fired after going 11-21 during a tumultuous two-year stint.
Players have embraced the change, welcoming Smith's calm, low-key style after feeling stifled by Schiano, the ex-Rutgers coach whose hands-on, in-your-face approach seemed more suited for colleges than the pros.
''I'm not going into meetings saying: `Hey guys, we were 4-12 last year, we've got to get to 5-11, we've made improvement,''' said Smith, who went 81-63, won three division titles, advanced to two NFC championship games and made one Super Bowl appearance in nine seasons with the Chicago Bears from 2004-2012.
''No, you talk about winning the division, making Raymond James Stadium a place that people don't want to come and play at,'' he added. ''It's all about winning.''
Smith and new general manager Jason Licht discarded Pro Bowl cornerback Darrelle Revis and his $16 million annual salary, providing additional salary cap space to overhaul the roster in free agency. Quarterback Josh McCown, pass rusher Michael Johnson, cornerback Alterraun Verner, defensive tackle Clinton McDonald, and offensive linemen Anthony Collins and Evan Dietrich-Smith were key additions.
The team's top three draft picks - receiver Mike Evans, tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins and running back Charles Sims - also figure to get opportunities to contribute to an offense that ranked 30th in scoring and dead last in passing and total yardage in 2013.
Chicago excelled on defense under Smith, who hopes to lead the Bucs back to prominence with a version of the Cover 2 scheme Tampa Bay popularized under Tony Dungy in the late 1990s before winning the franchise's only Super Bowl championship under Jon Gruden 12 years ago.
The Bucs haven't won a playoff game since.
Smith is counting on the 35-year-old McCown, a career backup coming off his best pro season while filling in for an injured Jay Cutler, to make a difference on offense.
''He's a vet. He knows how to lead,'' Smith said, adding that he's confident he and Licht have assembled a roster talented enough to challenge Drew Brees, Matt Ryan and Cam Newton in the quarterback-driven NFC South.
''We feel like we have the right guys competing for certain positions,'' Smith said. ''They're definitely ready to change the culture and become a relevant team again.''
Some story lines to follow in training camp:
THE FRAZIER FACTOR: Smith hired former Minnesota coach Leslie Frazier, another one-time Dungy assistant, as defensive coordinator. The Vikings fired him after last season, and he's looking forward to working with Pro Bowl tackle Gerald McCoy, linebacker Lavonte David, safeties Dashon Goldson and Mark Barron, as well as newcomers Johnson and Verner.
TEDFORD'S OFFENSE: Ex-California coach Jeff Tedford is the offensive coordinator. He and Smith have had little to say about what to expect, other than their plans calls for a strong running game and incorporating some of the up-tempo elements of the system Tedford used at Cal.
SPEEDY DEMPS: One of the more interesting stories in training camp could be the development of Olympic sprinter Jeff Demps, a 5-foot-7, 191-pound running back who gained 14 yards on his only carry a year ago. In the past, Demps has been slow to commit to playing football full-time. Smith says the second-year pro has indicated that's no longer the case.
IF NOT MCCOWN: Mike Glennon started 13 games as a rookie a year ago, playing well enough that Smith has said he's the team's quarterback of the future. Not good enough, though, to stop the team from bringing in McCown. All involved - Smith, McCown and Glennon - feel the second-year pro will benefit from returning to the bench and watching an experienced QB run the show.
GOODBYE REVIS ISLAND: Despite the departure of Revis, the Bucs believe they have a chance to be better. ''Darrelle Revis is one guy. We've got to become a team,'' McCoy said. ''He took me underneath his wing and showed me the ropes on how to be a vet and be what people expect you to be. I hated to see him go, but this is a team. This is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, it's not the Revises.''

Writing Wednesdays Blog with Steven Pressfield
Bestselling Learn Guitar on Android! http://bit.ly/LearnGuitarAndroid Steven Pressfield (born September 1943 in Port of Spain, Trinidad) is an American novelist and author of screenplays, principally of military historical fiction set in classical antiquity. His historical fiction is well-researched, but for the sake of dramatic flow, Pressfield may alter some details, like the sequence of events, or make use of jarring contemporary terms and place names, his stated aim being an attempt to capture the spirit of the times. To enhance his readers' immersion in ancient times, Pressfield typically writes his novels from the point of view of the characters involved. For instance, The Virtues of War is told from the first-person perspective of Alexander. His epic novel Gates of Fire is on the Commandant of the Marine Corps' Reading list. It is taught at U.S. Military Academy and United States Naval Academy and at the Marine Corps Basic School at Quantico[1] , and according to the L.A. Times, "has achieved cult status among Marines." Pressfield served in the United States Marine Corps in the 1960s, and later graduated from Duke University. Buy the Warrior Ethos Here: http://amzn.to/nNBa0R

Hello my sweet friends.
Thanksgiving comes around once a year and during this holiday, we celebrate by giving thanks for all that we are thankful and grateful for. We eat our favorite foods, share family recipes and continue on with family traditions. What we don't think of mostly, is the people out there that are alone and have no one to share the holiday with; or the soldiers who are out there protecting us that cannot make it home. We don't usually think about the less fortunate or the homeless. We usually just laugh together with our loved ones and close friends, watch football, stuff our bellies until we cannot move and we just don't think about those who cannot do what we are doing.
My Thanksgiving wish is for all of you who read this, to say a prayer for all those people that I mentioned above. Ask our Lord to bless them, to watch over them and to bring them a hot turkey meal wherever they may be. Please do this as you pray to the Lord before you eat your hot turkey meal and ask for His blessing upon your food. I also wish for each and every one of you lovely bloggy friends, to have a beautiful, blessed and Happy Thanksgiving. From my home to yours, God Bless.

Body language
Views: 2982 | Added: 7 years agoMore
Over in Cali, we stopped off for some grub when I met Olivia! This mom couldnt speak a lick of english but we both managed to read each others body language. She had such amazing curves that it was easy to feel her up and understand every word. This Brazilian bombshell even let me in through the back door! The international language of sex was all we needed! She even took it in the ass and it was nothingshort of a dream back there. i love this game!

Hot News Is Back: Court Blocks Website From Reporting The News
from the first-amendment? dept
Unfortunately, with various publications struggling, some have picked up on the hot news doctrine as a way to somehow block competition. Tragically, it looks like a court has now adopted the hot news doctrine in one case. Paul Alan Levy alerts us to the news that a judge issuing an injunction against TheFlyOnTheWall.com, a website that would publish summaries of Wall Street research. The Wall Street firms said this undermined their business model -- and the court agreed. It passed an injunction saying that TheFlyOnTheWall had to hold off publishing any news about any Wall Street research report until either 10am (if the report is released early in the morning) or for two hours after it's released if it comes out during the day.
These totally arbitrary restrictions are highly troubling from a free speech standpoint and seem effectively random. This seems like yet another case of a company being upset by interference with its business model, which should be a reason to change the business model -- not run to the courts.
But what's most troubling of all is that now all the publishers who have been salivating over the hot news doctrine have a legal ruling to point to. Can you imagine how the world would work if you couldn't blog about or mention a particular piece of news for a few hours because the Associated Press got to it first? It's hard to see how this could possibly stand up to a First Amendment analysis, and it's quite troubling that the judge found the way she did.

Some time ago (December 2003), I wrote a short Reflection for our Oblates on 'Reconciliation in the Rule of Benedict'. However, in the light of various events since then it seems to me that this topic is by no means exhausted, so it might be worthwhile to look at it again. The whole question of forgiveness is one that we constantly need to reflect on as we walk the spiritual path.
Where can we look for encouragement and guidance? Let us begin with Scripture: Isaiah assures us of God's unlimited forgiveness: I have swept away your transgressions like a cloud, and your sins like mist; return to me, for I have redeemed you.
(Isaiah 44:22) Similarly the Psalmist declares: As far as the east is from the west, so far God removes our transgressions from us. (Ps. 103) Jesus insists that we forgive, not seven times, but seventy seven times; (Matt. 18:22) in other words, an unlimited number of times. Christ himself forgave those who condemned him: Forgive them Father, for they do not know what they are doing. (Luke 23:34).
Benedict frequently reminds us of the importance of forgiving one another: Harbour neither hatred nor jealousy of anyone...pray for your enemies out of love for Christ...Make peace with an adversary before the setting of the sun. (R.B. 4). In the 14th century we find Julian of Norwich speaking of God's forgiveness: I am glad that you have come to me, in all your trouble I have been with you.....So sins are forgiven through merciful grace, and our soul is honourably and joyfully received. (Revelations of Divine Love, Ch. 40)
But what have contemporary writers got to say to us on this important topic? Laurence Freeman recognises that forgiveness, accompanied by prayer, is essential to the christian life: Deep prayer allows us to forgive.....Forgiveness is the most revolutionary and transforming power of which we are capable. (Aspects of Love: 'On Retreat with Laurence Freeman' p. 72-74) He explains that it is through those times of silent meditation, that we gradually come to experience the healing power of Jesus working within us, that will enable us to forgive our enemies.
In my previous reflection on reconciliation two years ago, I quoted from the writings of Brother Roger Schultz, founder of the Taize community in Burgundy, France. In 1940, God inspired him to begin an ecumenical monastic community whose particular charism was to pray and work for unity and reconciliation, not only among christians, but at all levels of society, and among all people. In order to accomplish what was seemingly impossible, they focussed on the Word of God, in their prayer and in their daily lives; introducing a simple Scripture based liturgy, interspersed with silence, that has drawn thousands, especially youth, to gather and share with the monastic community at Taize.
Among the many pilgrims who visited Taize was Pope John Paul II, in October 1986, who called it That Little Springtime (No Greater Love: p.72) All his life, Brother Roger taught the Christian message of forgiveness. But in the end, this frail 90 year old man lived it to the full, when on August 16th he was stabbed to death by a mentally ill person in front of thousands of worshippers during an evening prayer service. His life, and especially the manner of his death, are a profound lesson for us all.
What does all of this say to us? We live in a world of violence, war, and threat of terrorism; still struggling with all the repercussions from 911. Even within our churches and our own families and communities, relationships break down, and at times seem to be irreconcilable. Yet forgiveness is something we must never withhold. As disciples of Christ we are obliged to work tirelessly towards healing, and reconciliation at all levels. Through our meditation, wonderful things can be accomplished, even though we are unaware of it. How does that happen? Only through the mysterious power and grace of God. We can let go of obstacles to unity, and open our hearts to our sisters and brothers everywhere.
With love to each one.

The Henderson County Sheriff's Office arrested four men Saturday in connection with a rash of vandalism that occurred in the Lake Summit area May 5.
The Henderson County Sheriff's Office arrested four men Saturday in connection with a rash of vandalism that occurred in the Lake Summit area May 5.
Butch Levi Heatherly, 19, of Schoolhouse Road, Mills River; Christopher Garrett Smith, 22, of Sunset Vista Road, Hendersonville; Daniel Ray Sumner, 19, of Rocky Ridge Road, Hendersonville; and Garrett Calvin Merrell, 19, of Yale Road, Hendersonville, face charges related to the damage done to eight vehicles, a boat walkway and the yard of the Zirconia Post Office.
The 10 separate incidents of vandalism were responsible for $12,000 to $20,000 worth of damage, according to the sheriff's office.
"They just drove around and took opportunities to vandalize, blindly," said Capt. Steve Carter of the sheriff's office. "They didn't know the people or have any grudge against them."
Carter added that alcohol "did play a role in it."
The vandals kicked out wooden pickets that were part of a walkway to a private boathouse on Lake Summit, smashed windows and broke mirrors of vehicles and "did doughnuts and put ruts into the yard of the post office" in a Dodge 2500 extended cab truck belonging to Merrell, Carter said.
Heatherly and Smith were each charged with nine counts of injury to real and personal property. Heatherly was released after posting a $1,000 secured bond. On Sunday, Smith remained in the Henderson County Detention Center under a $9,000 secured bond. Smith's bond was higher because of his criminal history, Carter said.
"He's had similar charges in the past," he said.
Sumner and Merrell were each charged with 10 counts of injury to real and personal property and released after posting $1,000 secured bonds, respectively.
The accused vandals voluntarily surrendered to authorities.

we moved it to the dining room
happy topaversary!! lol
lets see another year of it!!
love the green with all the white in the house
It's so pretty! I've never been able to keep them alive and I'm pretty good with plants. Thanks for the advice....I will try again. :)ReplyDelete
Great job! I love ivy on wire. My dad has an amazing green thumb, and he gave me his most prized ivy as a housewarming gift earlier this year. I brought the remains to him a few weeks ago :/
- Dana
I love topiaries ivy, box, cypress, you name it. Yours is very pretty...
Ciao for now...
So pretty! I am not good with any real plants in my home.I am hoping I don't kill my rosemary plant I just recently bought!
Thanks so much, Pam. I only have success with African violets, and orchids, everything else is doomed. Now I'll try your advice for the ivy,(you would think I'd know all this with a blog called "Ivy" and Elephants, right?!) LOL Thanks for the tips!
Pam, I've had mixed success with ivy topiaries. I always like the look, but they don't always survive here. I think the secret is to keep the leaves clean so they don't get mites.ReplyDelete
Pam, I've never been able to keep ivy alive either. Your topiary is cute and I hope it continues to do well.ReplyDelete

Every year, thousands of clients choose to bring their animals to the Cornell University Hospital for Animals (CUHA). Our faculty, students, and staff strive to provide quality medical care and education for our clients and their animal companions.
In the changing economic times, many of CUHA's clients have found it difficult to afford quality medical care for their animal companions, both large and small. These clients are forced to forgo necessary diagnostic procedures and life saving treatments for their animals. To assist clients and patients in need, CUHA has created the Patient Assistance Fund. The Patient Assistance Fund benefits our clients with economic need to help cover medical and surgical costs for their animal companions. We, the Student Chapter of the American Veterinary Medical Association (SCAVMA), have chosen to support the Patient Assistance Fund at CUHA with this year's Pedal for Pets bike-a-thon.
We invite you to join us! You can join our bikers on a 30- or 50-mile bike ride throughout Ithaca and the neighboring communities, sponsor a rider, donate a prize at the finish line for our riders, or help us to sponsor the event. All proceeds will benefit the Patient Assistance Fund. Please help us to make the veterinary care at CUHA more accessible to all.

Oct 14, 2004
Oct. 14, 2004
Senior Brian Anderson emerged as one of the best middle distance runners in the nation during the indoor season. His time of 4:10.61 in the mile was the third fastest in the nation.
Sophomore Uzoma Orji was named the NCAA Division III Regional Male Track and Field Athlete of the Season after an explosive performance at the 2004 national championships that also led to NCAA Division III Male Field Athlete of the Meet honors. Orji maintained his firm grasp as the nation's best performer in the shot put, crushing the field with a three-foot victory. His best effort in the event yielded a new Institute record of 59'6.25". The impressive mark also set a University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Kachel Fieldhouse facility record and missed the national championship record by seven centimeters. To cap his impressive outing, Orji finished fifth overall in the 35- pound weight throw after throwing the ball 60'3.75". His toss in the weight throw served as the fourth-best in MIT history, while he positioned himself for All-America status in both events. At the national championships, Orji scored all 14 of Tech's points in leading the Engineers to an 11th place finish out of 55 schools that scored.
Despite being underdogs for the NEWMAC Outdoor Track and Field Championship, MIT once again paced the field en route to its fourth consecutive Conference crown. Sophomore Uzoma Orji won three individual events (hammer throw, discus, shot put), and set a new Institute and championship meet record in the shot put with a throw of 56'11.25". Junior Zach Traina also enjoyed an outstanding day, finishing first in the 200-meter dash after securing a runner-up finish in the 100. Although depth had been a weakness for the Engineers, 1-2-3 sweeps in the pole vault and steeplechase showcased Tech's strength in numbers. Junior Nate Ball led a clean sweep over conference rivals in the vault, while senior Carlos Renjifo combined with two teammates to turn the trick in the steeplechase as MIT managed a 30-point victory.
Uzoma Orji was named NEWMAC Athlete of the Year, while Halston Taylor copped Coach of the Year accolades. Graduatestudents Chris Fidkowski and Stuart Laval, senior Carlos Renjifo, juniors John Brewer and Nestor Hernandez, and sophomores Fivos Constantinou, Imran Hendley, Jesse Collins, Stephen Maltas, Steven Kannan, and Uzoma Orji earned Conference All-Academic honors.
At the NCAA Outdoor Championships, Uzoma Orji earned All- America honors after his second-place throw of 58' 10.25" in the shot put. Junior Nathan Ball took ninth place in pole vault, clearing 15' 7.25".
Uzoma Orji capped his spectacular season by being selected to the CoSIDA Academic All-America First Team.

very post-impressionist.
You're supposed to know that.
God forbid somebody forgets his eyes color.
If you want to bitch about this picture, I'm sure you can find something better than that, anyway.
You tell him, girl!
People need to get facts straight before drawing fanart. Stop being a white knight.
ohhh, stop critising people and their fanart so much!

Toscana - Indicazione Geografica Tipica
90% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot
Climate Vintage:
The particularly mild weather in 2007 caused early foliage development and in turn affected the harvest period, which was earlier than usual. The Merlot harvest took place from the first to the third weeks of September, while the Sangiovese grapes were harvested between the third week of September and the first week of October. Generally speaking the wine obtained shows intense colour and very typical aromas, remarkably weighty polyphenolic components and nice fine-grained tannins. The 2007 wines are therefore balanced, beautifully structured and very stylish.
After destemming and soft crushing maceration lasted about 1 week, in stainless steel vats. During this phase the wine completed alcoholic fermentation at temperatures no higher than 25°C. After racking the wine completed malolactic fermentation. It was then aged for six months in the S. Cristina in Cortona. After blending, light clarification and filtration, it was bottled in June 2008 Alcohol: 13% Vol
The first vintage of Santa Cristina, 1946, was made by Marchese Niccolò Antinori, father of Piero Antinori.

What does the Wine Spectator have to say? (who cares?)
ANTINORI Toscana Santa Cristina 2007 (85 points, $12)
"Aromas of fresh raspberry and flowers follow through to a medium-bodied palate, with an easygoing texture and a clean finish. Drink now."
--James Suckling
What do I say? For $12.99 you'll think you're drinking a $40 vintage.

Westhill girls use strong fourth quarter to put away Warde
The future is the great unknown, but if it all ends up working out in the long run for the Westhill High girls basketball team, the Vikings might look back at the fourth quarter of Tuesday's 53-34 victory over Fairfield Warde as a defining moment.
The FCIAC championship-minded Vikings were supposed to roll Tuesday against a young, Warde squad that graduated five starters last season. But when the Vikings looked up at the scoreboard after the third period, they led 33-30. Warde had just outrebounded the Vikings 17-4 in the third quarter, giving the Mustangs a 35-15 edge off the boards at that point. And the Mustangs were also doing a terrific job bottling up Westhill's star forward Meg D'Alessando.
It was time for the Vikings to take a deep breath and swallow.
"Coach (Mike King) told us before the fourth quarter that our heads were not in the game and to be tough and go out and get it," Westhill's Tyler Evans said. "So that's what we did. We woke up in the fourth quarter."
In the final quarter Westhill (11-2, 9-2 FCIAC) tightened up on defense, forced seven turnovers, made 5 of 9 field goal attempts (17 of 46 overall), and outrebounded the Mustangs 9-3 (Warde won the battle of the boards 38-24). The result keeps the Vikings in contention for a regular-season title, or, at least, a top four finish, which would secure home-court advantage in the quarterfinals.
"The difference in the fourth quarter was that we finished, we made some layups, we ran the floor, we got out in transition and we played better defense," King said. "Their goal was to stop Meg and they did that. So, others had to step up for us."
Evans finished with 17 points and six rebounds for the Vikings. D'Alessandro had 15 points but only seven after three periods before going 8-for-8 from the line in the final eight minutes. Jackie Paasman added six rebounds while Steph Roones and Kat Grasso played their usual strong all-around games.
But, no doubt, all were a little nervous after three quarters.
"We executed a good game plan for three quarters," Fairfield coach Dave Danko said. "We broke their pressure and got a lot of layups, but then they went man-to-man on defense and we couldn't make a shot. That got their athletes going."
Warde (7-7. 6-6), led by Kenzie Burns' 13 points and Kaitlin McKenna's 17 rebounds, made 2 of 12 shots in the fourth quarter (15-for-55 overall) and scored just 11 points in the second half. The Vikings, who forced 27 turnovers while committing 16, outscored Warde 20-4 in the final quarter.
"We believe we have a good team and we believe we can win FCIACs," Evans said, perhaps with a little more fervor than she might have had after the third quarter.
Michele Treglia 1 0-0 2; Kenzie Burns 5 0-0 13; Mollie Kerrigan 4 0-2 8; Kaitlin McKenna 3 0-0 6; Tiara Fountain 2 1-2 5; LejiaMarkovic 0 0-0 0; Mary Kate McTague0 0-0 0; Sarah Cotto 0 0-0 0; Jacqui Lanese 0 0-0 0. Totals: 15-55 1-4 34

The political upheavals in the Arab republics since 2011 have shaken old political hierarchies and opened elections to once-banned groups such as leftists and the Muslim religious Right. Because the secular, authoritarian republics sought support from minorities, these revolutions have put the latter in a difficult position. Sometimes they are seen as pillars of the old regime and a force for counter-revolution. Sometimes Sunni Muslim politicians see them as impediments to the repeal of what they see as a foreign-inspired secularism. At the same time, the revolutionary governments across the board aspire to parliamentary forms of governance. To be successful, the latter must give equal political rights to the minorities. The Coptic Christians of Egypt, the Zaidi Shiites of Yemen, the Shiites of Bahrain, and the Christians and Alawi Shiites of Syria will all be considered.

When she was 3, Torrie Smith tripped on an uneven sidewalk, fell face down onto some steps and broke four front teeth. An emergency room doctor stopped the bleeding and gave her something for the pain, but Torrie didnt see a dentist for six months her first time ever because her parents didnt have dental insurance and didnt have cash to pay for an examination.
Now 4, Torries dental problems are so severe she has to go to an operating room, not a dentists chair, to have them fixed. While she is under anesthesia, an abscessed incisor will be pulled and nine other cavity-ravaged teeth will be pulled or treated.
Torries toothaches, along with the risk and high cost associated with curing them, probably could have been avoided. She is like many children in low-income families in Colorado who rarely, if ever, see a dentist even though they can go for free.
State Medicaid data reported to the federal government show that fewer than half of the 453,000 Coloradans younger than 21 who were eligible for benefits in federal fiscal year 2011 received some kind of dental service. Only a quarter of Colorado counties met a 2010 state goal of getting at least 44 percent of Medicaid-eligible residents younger than 19 to visit a dentist, according to an I-News analysis of state records.
Dental disease is not self resolving, said Diane Brunson, director of public health for the University of Colorados School of Dental Medicine. Its not like catching a cold, and you put up with it for a week or 10 days and youre fine. You have to get treatment. And its so much more beneficial all the way around to the child, to their family, to taxpayers if dental problems can be prevented.
While the state appears to be making strides in improving its numbers, part of the problem is the paucity of dentists willing to see Medicaid children. Only 10 percent of Colorados 3,500 or so dentists are considered significant Medicaid providers, meaning that they are reimbursed for at least 100 visits per year. Moreover, 20 of Colorados 64 counties do not have a dentist who accepts Medicaid.
In total, 21 percent of the dentists report having some Medicaid patients, and only 16 percent say they are willing to accept new Medicaid patients.
Plenty of Colorado children covered by commercial dental insurance also fail to see a dentist regularly. But kids in low-income families are most at risk for tooth decay, which is the most common childhood disease.
A state health department survey released in October showed that 73 percent of third-graders in Colorados poorest public schools (measured by eligibility for free- or reduced-price lunches) have had a cavity compared with 41 percent of third-graders in more affluent schools. Untreated cavities affected 19 percent of kindergartners in the poorest schools, but only 7 percent in high-income schools.
Proper care of primary, or baby, teeth is just as important as adult dental care, dentists say. Baby teeth reserve space for the permanent teeth that eventually will replace them. They help in the development of speech and help give a childs face a normal appearance.
Decaying baby teeth can make it difficult for children to chew food and can damage the permanent teeth growing beneath them. Many kids in pain end up using expensive emergency room services or undergoing multiple dental procedures while under anesthesia.
People tend to believe that because theyre just baby teeth and theyre going to fall out, we dont need to worry about them, said Karen Cody Carlson, executive director of Oral Health Colorado, an umbrella group of oral health advocates. They dont realize that kids can get severe infections, life-threatening infections, sometimes.
Apples are Torries favorite food, but she also likes gummy fruit snacks, Sweet Tarts, chocolate and soda. In the living room of their home in Montbello, a northeast Denver neighborhood, Anthony and Wendie Smith say they thought they had been doing enough by brushing their daughters teeth twice a day ever since her first incisors erupted. They never took Torrie to the dentist because they didnt have dental insurance at the time (Anthony recently became eligible through his job) and couldnt afford the cost. Anthony, 27, is a mechanic and Wendie, 26, is a stay-at-home mom.
It didnt occur to the Smiths, they say, that Medicaid would cover Torries dental care. Wendie had qualified while pregnant and Torrie was enrolled in Medicaid as an infant. When she came along, Wendie says of Torrie, they gave me a (Medicaid) card and said it was for her doctor visits. They didnt say dental or anything like that.
After Torrie fell on the sidewalk, the emergency room doctor told them she needed to see a dentist. Wendie says she called several around Castle Rock, where they were living then, but all wanted money up front that they couldnt pay. Meanwhile, Torries front teeth were turning black and Wendie had to cut her food into small pieces.
A friend eventually mentioned that Medicaid might help. The first dentist to see Torrie reshaped her two front teeth with porcelain, but her parents didnt take her back for further treatment because she didnt feel comfortable there, her mother says.
The Smiths found Gillespie around Halloween when a flier sent home from Torries preschool mentioned that his Lil Teeth Dentistry practice in Aurora accepts Medicaid patients. Gillespie says he treats children on Medicaid, who make up about 60 percent of his practice, because he was on Medicaid as a child. For me, its very personal to make sure these kids get all the treatment they need, he says. Everyone deserves to be treated.

Production of the Mustang started in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the car was introduced to the general public on April 17, 1964 at the New york city World's Fair. It is Ford's third earliest nameplate presently in production. Original sales projections predicted less than 100,000 systems for the first year. This mark was surpassed in three months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be sold throughout the model year (a record), and in its first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were developed. Looking for Mustangs for sale in Cambridge VT is easy now. Just use the internet to search for them near you.
Classic Mustangs For Sale
All of these were VIN-identified as 1965 designs, however numerous modifications were made at the conventional opening of the new design year (beginning August 1964), including the addition of back-up lights on some designs, the intro of alternators to replace generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu into 289 cu in. When it comes to at least some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production included some unusual peculiarities, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo design beneath a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These characteristics made adequate difference to warrant designation of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a difference that has endured with perfectionists. Buy Classic Mustangs in Cambridge VT and live the muscle car dream.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more strict contamination laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was likewise the first time in vehicle history that the Huge 3 were needing to compete with imports. The brand-new Mustang II was smaller sized than the very first variation however, due to the additional equipment needed to meet new United States emission and security regulations, was heavier than the first design. Performance was decreased and in the very first year just 385,993 cars were offered. Second generation Mustangs were offered between 1974 and 1978 and readily available in a coupe and hatchback variation. 1979 the Mustang was revamped a third time. This time it was based on the larger Fox platform and the interior was really huge enough for four people. The trunk was larger therefore was the engine bay. The body designs available consisted of a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the 3rd generation Mustang acted as an Indianapolis 500 pace vehicle and Ford developed 10,478 commemorative replicas. The third generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982. Now has never been a better time to buy the Ford Mustang Of Your Dreams in Cambridge VT with special collector financing available.
4th generation style was offered from 1994 to 2004. 1994 Brought about the first major redesign for the Mustang in 15 years. Patrick Schiavone integrated a number of styling from earlier Mustangs. The base design included a 3.8 OHV V6 engine from 1994 to 1998, and was mated to a conventional 5-speed manual transmission or optional 4-speed automatic.

The trip is wonderful – perfect t! Only a couple minor problems that will not ruin our time here – a car that will not allow me to charge cell phones or laptop, and a frustrating lack of an Internet café handy in Itri! Seems the ones we knew about are gone — and any others are well hidden because no one seems to know about them if they exist! Internet connections here are slow slow dial ups so I am not going to worry about it! This may end up not being a bad thing as it means I will spend time relaxing instead of writing blogs daily and being tied to a schedule. It means I can relax with no obligations to the world back home for now – something I have needed. I am enjoying being free avoiding the usual exhausting tourist routines and just taking whatever comes as it comes.
It is drizzling but our plan is to drive to Latina to visit another sister today and her family. Again I get to be lazy in the backseat and doze! I am so enjoying this!
Lunch is again a complete family affair and sisters share more recipes for me for the cookbook! Soon cooking and recipes leads to more family stories and we are all laughing and crying as stories are shared. All too soon it is time to return to Itri – we have an evening appointment with the priest at Chiesa del Annunziata to try to find Valentino's grandfather (whom he was named for).
Next morning: We met with Father Giorgi last evening and he was more than happy to help us with our quest. To see old church registers with hundreds of years of history of all the important life events of the town's residents was awe-inspiring. We have narrowed down the birth and death dates now due to the sisters all sharing bits and pieces of information. He died as a result of an auto accident – a speeding car (a wealthy individual from Rome) hit him as this vital 85 year old walked home from the farm. It was a very traumatic accident in the area for everyone, not just family. We hoped therefore that information might appear. We also suspect he was one of five or six brothers or siblings so we want to track as much as possible. There are a few points everyone did agree on – he was a very strict parent/grandparent. He would warn the little ones to not trample new seedlings – they were his work! He was renowned for his skills as farmer/gardener. And he absolutely loved and adored his tiny wife Cristina. In our one photograph, he towers over this tiny little woman and holds her hand protectively. They tell the stories of how he treated her like a little china doll. This was quite a remarkable fact given that most men of that era treated their wives as property and mere slaves, not friends and lovers. This man made no attempt to hide his feelings for her – what a legacy to leave his heirs! In the photo he wears a black arm band as a symbol of mourning for a son who died in another tragic accident at work in a sand quarry. One strange fact – he normally wore Roman style sandals and this was the first time in a long time he wore shoes – and the photo was taken only fifteen days before his death! At eighty-five he still walked several kilometers each day back and forth to work his farm. Hardy stock like most of the folks of Campodimele.

SurfTheChannel Founder Gets Extra Jail Time For Revealing Documents That Raised Questions About His Conviction
from the thou-dost-protest-too-much? dept
Now comes the news that Vickerman has been hit with contempt of court and given an extra month in jail all for releasing some of the documents that revealed what a farce the case was. Once again, the judge seems focused on punishing Vickerman for his attitude, rather than any real problem:
Vickerman, 38, apologised to Judge John Evans, who had previously branded him the "most arrogant" defendant he had ever come across.That whole "most arrogant" part is really troubling. If you were genuinely innocent and being railroaded in a criminal case by private money (the same money that financed a competitor to your site), I think you'd be pretty pissed off too.
Vickerman, from Gateshead, said: "I genuinely believed that this was in the public domain, so I apologise for that."
The judge jailed Vickerman for an extra month for the contempt, saying: "You were aware that there were restrictions upon what you could publish.
