He's not a big loss at all. I wouldn't have offered him anyway. 25 catches for 356 yards isn't very good considering the level high school football played in MN. I didn't even play college football and had over 200 yards recieving in one game. I'm better than him. LOL!

|I've been listening to people
I've been listening to people discuss why Michigan is vulnerable to a upset. The consensus is that they are small and not very deep. When Michigan faces a good perimeter defense they struggle to score. I'm not sure about Ohio's depth, but they are small as well. I think Michigan wins against the Bobcats.

|I don't want to burst
I don't want to burst anyone's bubble, but Alabama has a lot more NFL talent than Michigan. I truly believe Hoke will have Michigan ready for a national title run in year four. I don't see Denard doing much against Bama. Say what you want about Sabans off the field tactics, but his teams play hard nosed, disciplined football on the field. I' m thinking Bama will handle Michigan similar to how they have handled PSU last year. I hope I'm wrong. Too many of you are being homers and not taking the emotion out of your predictions. Let's face it Bama has great coaching and great players. Michigan is getting there, but their not at that level yet.

|"Our athletes, on the other
"Our athletes, on the other hand, work 40-50 hours a week for the school, and they don't get anything except what the other kids get and don't have to work for it". They get free tuition and all the perks of being a athlete. Academic help, trips, free meals before games, and I'm sure there's more. The NCAA needs to change some of their dumb rules and allow the colleges to provide more essentials for them. I don't think giving them cash would work. The star athletes would demand more and essentially college football would be the NFL.

I think that McCray and Meyer had a plan in place to embarrass Michigan. That's why Meyer never offered McCray. Why wouldn't you offer one of the best LB's in the country especially if their dad was former team captain? Look for McCray to get his offer from OSU and then decommit from M. The perception would be that Meyer always gets who he wants.

|I was at a conference at
I was at a conference at State College, PA. While watching Michigan play at Purdue in the bar at the conference center/hotel there was a group of WVU fans in there drinking. They must have been there for some sort of conference as well. They were upset that the WVU game wasn't on TV and they were forced to watch the Michigan game. They were rooting for Purdue. Here in Pittsburgh there are alot of WVU alumni and they like Michigan as about as much as they like RR. That being said many of them do seem to take some pride that RR is from WV. They will criticize him, but they will kind of stick up for him if a Michigan fan criticizes him. One WVU fan I know told me that Hoke was winning with RR's players and he doesn't think Hoke is that good of a coach. I didn't want to argue with the guy because it's important that we are friends because of our work relationship. I wouldn't under estimate the WVU fanbase negative attitude towards Michigan. I've heard a couple of them complain about Beilein as well. They said that they hated how he didn't coach his players to offensive rebound instead had everyone get back on D. They said his teams didn't play physical and didn't crash the boards. They say it in a polite way and don't act like jerks, but I can tell inside they don't want to see Michigan do well.

I was listening when Bill took that call too. I believe it was his wife's grandmother, but that's still kind of crazy. What do you call Buckeye fans that never attended OSU? Wolverine fans are referred to as Wal-Mart Wolverines. I have no problem being a Wal-Mart Wolverine because Kate Upton is one as well. Can someone come up with a good nickname for these types of Buckeye fans?

Remember how some folks on here were saying that Hoke wasn't a strong finisher? Apparently, that critique didn't change his recruiting strategy. That really surprises me. I figured he would have waited about a week or two before NSD to offer any scholarships. That way he could be considered a strong finisher like Urban Meyer.

|Texas recruits every position
Texas recruits every position like this. They get mostly 4 star and always a few five stars. I would think that Texas has to be by far one of the most disireable coaching jobs in the country. The city of Austin is awesome. They have unlimited resources and it has to be the easiest job as far as recruiting goes. The food is great the women are hot. I think Texas needs a younger more energetic coach to take the program up a few notches. It will interesting to see who replaces Brown.

|It's all about eating in
It's all about eating in moderation. There are plenty of over weight vegetarians. You can drink three fortys of malt liquer, eat a large cheese pizza, a bag of doritos, and be a vegetarian. There's nothing wrong with eating fish, chicken, beef, turkey, pork, or any other kind of meat. Besides fruit and vegetables have pesticides and herbicides on them. I would suggest organic if your concerned about the chemicals and additives. I'm 6' and weigh about 190lbs. I do workout five times a week, but nothing extreme. I drink alcohol and eat what I want. I just do it in moderation. I'll have two pieces of pizza and a salad instead of six pieces like in high school. I'll have just one cheeseburger instead of three. I do make a effort to eat a apple everyday and at least one big garden salad with low fat dressing. 6 to 8 oz of meat and some veggies is a good, healthy meal.

|The spread was part of the
The spread was part of the problem, but as we all know there was more than one reason he failed. The offense actually was pretty mediocre against ranked teams. I believe the offense only averaged around 16 points a game against ranked teams in 2010. I think a spread offense like Meyers will be more suited for the Big10 style of play. The SEC is a power conference and his offense worked when he was at Florida. However, if you don't have a good defense I don't like your chances of winning either conference. I think RR is a good coach and good man, but can we please stop with the excuses. If Carr would have supported him, or if Bill Martin would have gave Jeff Casteel more money is getting old. You could make excuses for almost every coach that has been fired. If Illinois would have paid more money for assistants and built better facilities Ron Zook would have won more. We'll see how Casteel does at AZ. There's a reason he has only worked at WVU as a DC. The Big East is horrible. The worst defense in the history of Michigan football shut down the Big-East champs in 2010 for crying out loud. RR failed at Michigan because it just wasn't a good fit. He wasn't willing to adapt to the players he inherited and Michigan isn't going to be patient when they have unlimited resources.

I wouldn't worry about his speed. If your 6'5" and going to be at least 220lbs eventually, then race horse speed isn't necessary.

I think UofM will win a close game. Coaching will be the difference. Saban doesn't win with scheme, but rather superior talent. One could argue that Dantonio is doing better than Saban did while at MSU. Alabama overall will have more talent than Michigan, but the coaching at MIchigan will off set the talent gap. Look for Michigan to win 20-17, or 24-20. The two teams won't combine for more than 50 points. True story!

|I think the Michigan football
I think the Michigan football program is doing pretty good in regards to national perception. 2007-2010 were hell. At least in 2007 Michigan kind of redeemed themselves with a nice bowl win. However, that four year span was by far the worst that I've ever seen in my years of following Michigan football. Lloyd should have retired after the 2006 season and Bill Martin should have never been the AD. The basketball program and the hiring of RR was a complete joke under Martin. I think Bill Martin gets to much credit for the upgrading of the Big-House as well. The university has unbelievable resources and any AD could have got it approved. Dave Brandon isn't having any trouble getting money. Anyway the the national and local perception of Michigan football is pretty good if you consider all the negativity from 2007-2010.

Oct. 9, 2006
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - MIT split its pair of Collegiate Water Polo Association Northern Division matches this past weekend, defeating Fordham, 9-5, before falling to Iona, 14-6. The matches marked the Engineers' last road trip of the regular season.
Tech (8-13, 3-4) opened on Sunday by avenging an earlier season loss to Fordham (6-7-1, 1-2) by defeating the Rams, 9-5. The Engineers' offense was spread out, to say the least, as they received goals from eight different players. Sophomore Mike Smith Bronstein led the charge with two goals, while seniors Kevin Amendt and Oliver Venn, junior Morgan Laidlaw, sophomore Palmer Rosemond, and freshmen Devin Lewis, Rob Kalwarowsky and Mark Artz all contributed a goal apiece. Lewis' goal put him at 30 for the year to lead the team.
The Cardinal and Gray was lauded by head coach Felix Mercado for its spectacular team defense, with Laidlaw and Amendt leading the way. Freshman goalkeeper Nick Souza provided a stellar backbone, making 13 saves and three steals. With the 13 saves, Souza pushed himself over the 150 save barrier for the season.
Following their match with Fordham in the Bronx, the Engineers quickly had to make their way over to New Rochelle to take on Iona, and unfortunately they had to do so without the services of their second leading scorer, Smith Bronstein. The Mercer Island, Wash. native was forced to leave the first match in the 3rd quarter after a Fordham elbow opened a gash above his eye.
Tech, with little to no rest and absent one of its top players, got off to a sluggish start against the Gaels. Iona (6-9, 4-0) used a quick-striking offense to take advantage of the weary MIT squad, putting the game away early on its way to an eventual 14-6 victory. Artz was the Engineers' top scorer, picking up two goals, while Kalwarowsky, Lewis, Laidlaw and Venn all got on the score sheet as well.
Souza continued his solid play in net, tallying six saves before making way for junior Rob Truax, who had seven stops.
"The Fordham game was a tough physical game that proved that our younger guys are maturing and are becoming mentally tough," said Mercado. "I also knew that going into the Iona game without our top shooter, Smith Bronstein, and playing in a small shallow/deep pool was going to be tough. Iona was very solid," he added.
Tech concludes its regular season schedule on Thursday, Oct. 12, when it welcomes Brown University at 8:00 p.m.

I loved the program, it was extremely generous, the orchestra was great too... That third aria (La Clemenza by Gluck) is unsingable! What is that?! :)

Emissions of fractional co2 help for you to trap heat from the Earth's atmosphere that might normally become released straight into space. The response to this greater heat is termed Global Warming should you be of the liberal persuasion and Remarkable Climate Change should you be conservative. The result is a similar; The Globe will carry on and heat way up where it should be cold, and cool-down where it should be warm. This has to be mild inconvenience to the majority where it turned out warm, but the coldest areas for example the poles in the planet will spot bigger change available as dumping massive degrees of ice in the ocean that could change the eye of earth. Personal computers are portion of this more substantial problem.
Power plant life, cars and factories steer the fee in modifying the world-wide environment, as do air conditioning, coal pits and each of the usual suspects. The computer mainly because it is now is an element of the trouble. A computer system can employ between one humdred and fifty and 800 watts involving power, which isn't much than the damage of an coal compare but is far more than a television or possibly a CD gamer. A high-end computer if left in constantly could add around $50 a month on a bill, and send numerous pounds involving CO2 in the atmosphere over a calendar year.
The similar lead that needs to be removed via gasoline is present in your personal computer in large quantity. This is negligible in an PC, or even in a very city involving PCs, but globally this can be extremely toxic on the environment after they are dumped. Although a lot of parts are become reused Computer systems and Repaired Laptops nearly all old Personal computers wind up in a very landfill and have to be destroyed. This will always be of lead to handle.
Although nearly all US primarily based PC producers are ignoring the challenge, Europe features stepped approximately the challenge of an Environment friendly PC. Lead-free computing will be the goal throughout Europe, and a lot of regulations are executed to help attempt. Dell Inc. is pressuring their industry to make computer these recycling programs which can help in this challenge, and they have got pledged for you to plant a tree for every single computer that they sell. Concern to the environment is just not new for you to Dell Inc like 2004 they opted for recycle Personal computers from just about any manufacturer providing the shopper purchased the modern hardware via Dell.
PC Entire world is in the operation of establishing a Environment friendly PC that could focus in decreasing the electricity usage involving its computer system. While this is the strong start off towards helping the planet, most in the environmental destruction done by the PC occurs prior to end individual even tends to buy it. A 2004 N'T University survey found that this average LAPTOP OR COMPUTER burned by way of ten times a weight throughout raw material in the manufacturing point. This would mean that 75% in the environmental worry is making. As nearly all manufacturing comes about outside the us available as hardware including motherboards, cards and cases and then it turns into clear which a resolution in the us would only are the beginning. It would likely become needed for companies including Dell and Gateway to usually buy from firms that will manufactured LAPTOP OR COMPUTER hardware in a fashion that was not ecological. Of course the challenge there can be that Personal computers would enhance in charge almost quickly and market place wide.

Transcribing a Piece of History
The diary started with a January 1st entry. The tone was muted, lacking the usual New Year's optimism because the country was in the midst of World War II. The lady's son had been drafted. He shipped out a couple of weeks after the diary was started, leaving behind a pregnant wife.
Entries in the journal are short, yet descriptive. The mother missed her son, and worried about her daughter-in-law who gave birth the day after her husband shipped out.
Much of the diary focused on day-to-day events: going to church, going to town for groceries, visiting family and friends. The woman enjoyed time with her new grandchild and thought often about her son. She was very honest about feeling lonely.
It is not clear why this woman started a diary, or what she intended to do with it. It was penned in a small memo book and doesn't look like a diary at all. It could have easily been mistaken for junk by a clueless descendant and thrown away after she died. Luckily, it was saved because it is a very moving picture of one small family during one big war.
Makes you wonder how many other nondescript items are sitting around our own houses and attics waiting to be discovered.

What happens to the diary now?ReplyDeleteReplies
It's in the grandson's files (he's the baby in this story). Eventually, it will hopefully be uploaded online so others can see it.Delete
Yes, it does make you wonder. How much lonelier she must have been, in the middle of WWII with her son in harm's way. The history of my mother and aunt is involved with people trying to "keep busy" during the war so that they could endure the stress. Even so, they didn't endure it too well. I imagine she wrote her thoughts down to make herself feel a little less lonely, a little less "erased" by circumstances.ReplyDelete
I have two of my grandmother's journals, and like the one you transcribed, she did not write her journals in a "diary" style book. Rather, they look like school scribblers. They are not in the greatest of condition, but they are priceless to me, as they give me an insight into my grandmother's life. Most telling is how she felt about her parents - when her father died, it warrented a good half page entry. Her mother? Perhaps a line!ReplyDelete
What a wonderful family heirloom. This sweet widow's family must be so thankful to have this priceless treasure.ReplyDelete

PARIS — This is Novak Djokovic's life these days.
Saturday, the hottest player in tennis played DJ and entertained the crowd on Court Philippe Chatrier during the annual French Open exhibition day.
Sunday, he celebrated his 24th birthday at a big reception at the Serbian embassy and wasn't the least bit tempted by the fancy birthday cake — a no-no in his new gluten-free diet.
Monday, he took to the court for his first-round match against a potentially dangerous foe, Thiemo de Bakker of the Netherlands, and dismissed him 6-2, 6-1, 6-3 in one hour, 32 minutes.
Djokovic served at an otherworldly 80 per cent and lost only two points out of 12 on his second serve.
"I was serving really, really well and being very aggressive, using every opportunity to step into the court. I was quite in control of the match," he said.
As for the rest, he's taking it in stride.
"Of course you get more attention from the people, more support, more respect, in a way, because you have been winning so much," he said. "But I'm trying really to do everything that I've done so far these couple of years before the Grand Slam: prepare well, think about my matches, and — you know, because my job is to go on the court and win, really. I know that everything else can wait."
Djokovic's undefeated streak stands at 38 matches this season, 40 overall going back to two wins in Davis Cup at the end of 2010. While he had an easy time of it, two other contenders for the men's title were pushed a little more.
The last time No. 3 seed and 2009 champion Roger Federer met Spanish lefty Feliciano Lopez, two weeks ago in Madrid on Lopez's home turf, he barely squeaked through in a 7-6, 6-7, 7-6 victory that owed more to luck than anything else. But this is a Grand Slam — in essence, Switzerland's Federer's home turf. He made things far less complicated for himself this time in a 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 victory.
Meanwhile, Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina, seeded No. 25 but certainly considered a threat if his health allows, managed to get past huge-serving Ivo Karlovic of Croatia 6-7, 6-3, 7-5, 6-4 in a match that was every bit as tight as the set scores indicate.
Djokovic looms for Del Potro in the third round.
France's great hopes — at least on the men's side — rolled through the first round unscathed.
No. 13 seed Richard Gasquet defeated the tricky Czech Radek Stepanek 7-5, 6-3, 6-0, while Gall Monfils, seeded No. 9, defeated Bjorn Phau of Germany 4-6, 6-3, 7-5, 6-0.
The only men's seed to lose Monday was another Frenchman, No. 22 Michael Llodra, upset 6-7, 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 by Belgian veteran Steve Darcis.
On the women's side, No. 1 seed Caroline Wozniacki had to wait late into the evening to play her first match in Paris, and ended up being moved from smaller Court No. 1 to the main stadium because of the length of previous matches on her court.
No matter; Denmark's Wozniacki dismissed 40-year-old Kimiko Date-Krumm of Japan 6-0, 6-2 and next will face Blainville, Que.'s Aleksandra Wozniak.
Defending champion Francesca Schiavone of Italy gave struggling American Melanie Oudin a master class in clay-court tennis in a 6-2, 6-0 victory, while No. 3 seed Vera Zvonareva of Russia defeated qualifier Lourdes Dominguez Lino of Spain 6-3, 6-3.
No. 9 seed Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic rolled over Greta Arn of Hungary 6-2, 6-1.
No. 26 Nadia Petrova of Russia and No. 31 Klara Zakopalova of the Czech Republic were the only seeds upset on the day.
Defending men's champion Rafael Nadal of Spain and Denmark's Kim Clijsters, the No. 2 seed on the women's side and the winner of the last two Grand Slams, make their entrance on Tuesday.

In mid-November, Moab City Public Works Director Jeff Foster sent an email to the organizers of the park asking them to remove any lines that were over 2 feet in height when those lines were not being used. When that didn't happen, Foster went to the area and removed one of the higher lines. He said he left a note asking them to remove the rest. The higher lines still weren't down Nov. 20, so Foster started to remove them.
Foster said when he began removing lines, one of the local slackliners showed up and started to put the lines back up.
Foster believes that person responsible for removing all of the remaining lines, even the ones that were lower than 2 feet in height.
"I wasn't going to fight about it," Foster said. "So I left. When I left, all the lines were up."
Even though the lines have been removed, the area is still open for anyone to use, as long as people bring their own equipment, which was the city's intention from the beginning.
The park was originally built to give slackliners a place to rig their lines and hone their skills outside of city parks. Prior to the area's establishment, slackliners routinely set up at Swanny City Park.
Foster said the city worked with a group of local slackliners to plan to set up the dedicated slacklining area.
"We were trying to keep it out of the parks," Foster said, citing damage to trees at Swanny as well as safety issues. "So we picked an area where we didn't feel like it could do too much harm."
Foster said city staff and the slackliners worked together for several months.
"We gave them a set of rules to follow," Foster said. Those rules included posting signage about the park, and making sure that no one left lines rigged over two feet high. "As soon as they got the poles up, they stopped communicating with us," he said.
Andy Lewis, a professional slackliner who lives in Moab, was heavily involved in the area's setup. "The whole community did it," he said. "We built the park ourselves."
Lewis said he donated slacklines worth hundreds of dollars for the area.
"Most people don't know how to set up a slackline," he said. "Or they don't have the money to invest in a line."
Lewis said "Between the Bridges," as the area is known, is really designed for beginners who may not have their own equipment yet.
The area has become an attraction for people of all different ages and cultures, he said.
"A vast age range of people use the park," he said.
However, when the lines are taken down, people don't use the park, he said.
Foster said the group had been asked repeatedly to remove lines that are rigged at heights exceeding 2 feet. When the lines stay up, city workers remove them, leaving any lines that are rigged at 2 feet or below.
"We've given them options," he said. "We offered to put a job box with a lock on site that they could store the lines in it and not have to haul them back and forth," he said. "We also told them that if they put some fall zone protection in, the city would be willing to consider higher lines. But they haven't talked to us about any of it."
Deena Whitman, one of the original organizers of the area, said the group hasn't pursued the fall zone protection partially due to budget issues, but also because they didn't think it would do any good.
"A fall is a fall," she said. "It doesn't matter whether it's on sand or on wood chips. It's still going to hurt."
Lewis said the park is no more dangerous than other recreation opportunities provided by the city.
"I don't understand why it's an issue to even have a height limit," he said. "What about play structures? Aren't they like 10 feet tall? What about the jumps at the bike park?"
Due to the nature of slacklines, a 2-foot height limit doesn't make sense, Lewis said. "The whole point is it sags," he said." A 100-foot line rigged at 4 feet is maybe 6 inches off the ground in the middle. You can't rig lines at 2 feet high."
Lewis questioned why there is such a big difference between the 2-foot limit that the city allows, and the 4-foot limit he feels would be optimal for the park.
"We make it a point to keep all of the lines rigged at a point where they are less than 2 feet off the ground in the middle [when someone is on them]," he said. "This is me and a couple of my friends' project. It's our gift to the community ... I feel like this is a personal attack on me. It feels like a slap in the face."
Foster said there is nothing personal about it. The issue rests solely on the fact that the slackliners are not abiding by the rules that the city put in place from the beginning, he said.
Slacklining is a growing sport, and Lewis said the city should embrace it because it's only going to become more popular. He said that the Slackline Moab Facebook page, where people can go talk to other local slackliners and keep up on events, has almost 200 members.
Lewis said he is not ready to back down.
"We're going to re-rig the lines," he said. "We'll see if the city will spitefully ruin an area that's loved by the whole community."

Havdalah Sets & Candles
As Shabbat departs on Saturday night, we are commanded to perform the Havdalah ritual, Hebrew for "separation." The Havdalah requires a number of indispensible items, which together make up the Havdalah set and represent different Jewish beliefs.
The Havdalah set consists of a Kiddush cup, spices or incense, and a multi-wick candle. Each item plays an important role in the ceremony: we fill the Kiddush cup with wine in order to give the ceremony the high status it merits. We smell the incense because of the Kabalistic belief that the sense of smell is the only sense that can affect our soul. Our soul, which is miserable as Shabbat leaves, is placated with pleasant aroma. Finally, we light the candle in remembrance of the first time Adam and Eve lit a fire using two stones.
The three components of the Havdalah set, in addition to representing deep-seated beliefs, vary greatly in shapes, colors and materials. The most popular type of Havdalah set in Judaica stores is sterling silver. There are numerous reasons that explain the steadfast popularity of sterling silver Judaica. For one, it is cheaper than gold. Another possible reason is that sterling silver, unlike many other currently-popular metals, has been in use for a long time. Many people remember seeing sterling silver Judaica at their grandparents', giving it an "antique – feeling," just like Judaism itself. The massive popularity of the sterling silver Havdalah set proves that, by-and-large, people like their Judaica traditional.
Stained glass Havdallah sets are also widely seen lately. Stained glass art can be made not only by artisans of the highest caliber, but also by people who took a crash course in stained glass art and have decided to experiment with it. Stained glass Havdalah sets are not only beautiful; they are the perfect fit for those who wish for their religious items to be rich in color. Also, they can make for a great combination of modern and antique looking art.
When visiting the holy land, and in particular the holy city of Jerusalem, there are at least two sets that are tourist favorites: ceramic and Jerusalem stone. The main appeal of these Havdalah Sets is their reminiscence of Jerusalem itself, which is predominantly made of Jerusalem stone. Many people feel that having a Jerusalem stone Havdalah Set, or any Judaica for that matter, makes them feel as if they have a small part of Jerusalem in their own living room. A Havdalah set is a great gift for a Bat Mitzvah or Jewish wedding to accompany the gift of a Tallit and Tallit Bags.
There are many types of Havdalah sets, both antique and modern. With so many types of Jewish art today, it is wonderful to see how we can take a generic ceremony such as the Havdalah, a ceremony with clear rules and procedure, and imbue it with ample individuality.Contact Us with any questions regarding Havdalah sets and candles.
Havdalah Sets and Candles Guide
Havdalah is the ceremony performed at the end of Shabbat, effectively ends the restrictions of Shabbat and begins a new week. The ceremony makes uses of Kiddush Cup, Spice Box Candle and Candle Holder and before using each item, a blessing is made over it. The items are usually sold together as Havdalah Sets.
Materials and Design
Havdalah Sets are typically made of lacquered wood or sterling silver, although the individual pieces, especially the spice box can be made of any material. The Kiddush Cup that is used in Havdalah sets is a standard Kiddush cup and may be made of lacquered wood, sterling silver, porcelain or glass.
The candle holder is made of those same materials and while it can be different shapes, it is usually a simple silver basin with a thin opening for a candle to sit in attached to a tall stem and base. The spice box is likewise usually made of sterling silver or wood, although some people prefer to use a small finely decorated bag rather than an actually box. The spice box can be in different shapes, such as pomegranates, cushions or even animals such as doves and fish; however, it looks fairly similar to the candle holder only that it often has tall angled top.
Havdalah Sets can be decorated with almost any Jewish theme. Some of the most common decorations are those found on other Judaica items, such as Jerusalem, Stars of David, animals, floral patterns and the Seven Species. Text from the different blessings made during the Havdalah ceremony may also be used.
Spice Boxes, the items which can be personalized the most, usually feature the same decorations. However, bags filled with herbs and spices have different decorations, typically floral patterns and text. The most common phrases used on spice holder bags include the traditional greeting for the beginning of the new week, "Shavua Tov", or the text of the end of the blessing on spices: "Boreh Mineh Besamim" or "He who created good smelling-spices" in English.
Havdalah candles traditionally consist of three to five wicks in order to meet the rabbinic requirement that the candle be torch-like and have at least two wicks. The candles are usually made of beeswax. They are usually shades of blue, red, yellow and white. However, as of late they have become works of art by themselves, especially those which are produced in the holy city of Safed. These candles are freestanding, multicolored and are shaped like pyramids, torches, pillars or large flowers.
For More Information
For more information on Havdalah candles and sets or Shabbat, feel free to contact our Judaica experts with any questions or concerns.

WEST WINDSOR, N.J. – MIT heavyweight crew alum Stephen Young (ME '09) will represent the United States at the 2012 World Rowing Championships which will be held Aug. 15-Aug. 19 in Plovdiv, Bulgaria as announced by USRowing. This will be Young's second time competing at the World Rowing Championships after taking fourth in the men's pair with coxswain and fifth in the lightweight men's eight at the 2010 World Rowing Championships in Lake Karapiro, New Zealand.
Young was a top boat coxswain all four years at MIT, after he began coxing at H.B. Plant High School in Tampa, Fla. in 2001. Young steered the heavyweight men's squad to its best season in recent history during his senior year, including a win over former Olympic gold medalist and current Great Britain Olympic Team member, Greg Searle, in the first round of the intermediate men's eight (Ladies' Challenge Plate) at the 2009 Henley Royal Regatta. Young has spent the past two years training with the US Men's National Team at the ARCO Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif. and the USRowing National High Performance Center in Oklahoma City, Okla.
Young was named an assistant high performance coach at the National High Performance Center in Oklahoma City last fall and has been assisting head coach Bryan Volpenhein with the Olympic men's pair and lightweight men's four. He has also been training and competing with the high performance group in Oklahoma City, earning wins in the men's eight at the 2011 USRowing National Championships, the lightweight men's eight at the 2011 Head of the Charles Regatta and the men's pair with coxswain at the 2012 USRowing National Championships.
This year, Young joins fellow 2010 men's pair with coxswain teammate, Justin Stangel (Syracuse '07), and returning member of the 2011 men's pair with coxswain, Blaise Didier (Washington '10). The trio will likely face strong crews from Australia, Canada, Germany and Italy, all medalists in the event from the previous two World Rowing Championships. The U.S. last medaled in the men's pair with coxswain earning gold at the 2009 World Rowing Championships in Poznan, Poland.
All events at this year's World Rowing Championships are self-funded events; to find out more and to support Stephen and his teammates, visit: http://natrowing.donorpages.com/SeniorNationalTeam/Mens2.

Mark Selby thrillingly ended his seven-year wait for a second crack at Crucible glory as he set up a showdown with hot favourite Ronnie O'Sullivan in the Dafabet World Championship final.
The Leicester potter lost to John Higgins in an after-midnight finish in the 2007 Sheffield showpiece and has since endured a frustrating run at snooker's most prestigious tournament, reaching the semi-finals only once.
But while O'Sullivan enjoyed a day off after demolishing Barry Hawkins with an entire session to spare, Selby set about completing the arduous task of finishing off world number one Neil Robertson.
It was a task he achieved with an impressive show of battle-hardened fortitude, fending off the Australian 17-15 to take revenge for his defeat to the man from Melbourne in December's UK Championship final.
From 9-7 ahead overnight, Selby was pegged back to 12-12 after the day's opening session.
Robertson then edged ahead when they resumed at 7pm, but from 13-12 his night took a turn for the worse as Selby won four of the next five frames, helped by breaks of 79, 77 and 54, to move one away from victory.
A break of 108 - his 10th century of the tournament and 103rd of the season - gave the Cambridge-based Victorian a lifeline, but it proved short-lived as a fluent 74 from Selby in the next frame steered him through to the clash with the man chasing a hat-trick of consecutive world titles, and his sixth triumph from six Crucible finals.
"That's got to be up there with the standard of any semi-final that's ever been played here," Robertson said.
"I've played some really good stuff here in the past couple of weeks.
"Mark's played the best I've seen him play.
"He'll have played better against lower-ranked players when he'll have made bigger breaks.
"But it was the best I've seen him play, even when he's played Ronnie before. He played some fantastic stuff."
But Robertson worries for Selby now, given O'Sullivan's record in world finals.
"He just doesn't lose finals," Robertson said, but he added: "If Mark can play the way he did against me - Ronnie is more clinical than me so it'll be interesting to see how the match pans out - then he's got every chance of competing with him.
"It'll be interesting to see how it goes. So much depends on how much rest Mark can get."
Selby agreed with Robertson's verdict, saying: "Considering the circumstances - and where we are, at the World Championship - it's got to be definitely up there."
On the danger of being weary for the final, Selby added: "I don't feel too bad at the moment. I'm sure I won't sleep because of all the adrenaline but I'm going to go out there in the final and enjoy it.
"Ronnie's a genius and doesn't fear anyone. He's played some great snooker in patches and he's missed a few balls and people haven't punished him. I know I'll get my chances, but it's a matter of whether I take them or not."
Widely regarded as the finest player of his generation not to have a world title to his name, three-time Masters champion Selby has been hailed as a snooker hardman by O'Sullivan this week.
"Mark's the toughest competitor on tour," said O'Sullivan.
"He can take the game at his pace and if you step up the pace he's a player who is a predator and he can score heavily as well.
"I've had some great matches with Mark over the years."
Robertson's loss means he relinquishes the top ranking to Ding Junhui, despite the Chinese player's first-round defeat in Sheffield.
The 32-year-old from Melbourne was champion at the Crucible in 2010 and his son Alex, who was born just days after that triumph, was on hand for what Robertson hoped would be another successful night.
This time, however, it was Selby claiming the honours, with Robertson perched solemnly in his seat as the clinching red went down.
O'Sullivan, meanwhile, went running on Saturday, winding down early in the day before building himself up for another final.
The 38-year-old is raring to go in the final that spans Sunday and Monday.
"It's a dream to be here three times on the spin," said O'Sullivan.
"I feel fresh as a daisy. I'm not sure if it's that I haven't had a lot taken out of me in the last two matches. I only feel like I get stronger as the tournament goes on.
"It can be tiring mentally but I feel fresh."

In a strongly worded letter to his fellow bishops, released on March 2, Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan of New York charged that White House officials failed to consider the U.S. bishops' concerns that the federal mandate governing employer coverage of contraception and sterilization violated principles of religious freedom. An invitation from the White House to "work out the wrinkles" regarding the mandate failed to reach an agreement, and the effort "seems to be stalled," he said. Cardinal Dolan, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, complained that during a recent meeting with White House officials, U.S.C.C.B. staff members were told that "broader concerns of religious freedom" are "off the table." A White House source denied that appraisal and complained that some bishops and U.S.C.C.B. staff members seemed more "interested in the politics of this thing" than in a negotiated end to the standoff.

For Dana native and former East Henderson High standout Richard Kent, football has always been a big part of his life.
For Dana native and former East Henderson High standout Richard Kent, football has always been a big part of his life.
Last week, Kent, who is the defensive backs coach for the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League, had one of the biggest days of his career. On Nov. 24, he celebrated with the Roughriders on their home field as they won the 101st Grey Cup with a 45-23 victory over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
It was the first Grey Cup title of Kent's long professional football coaching career, which includes stints in the NFL, UFL and NFL Europe.
"Games like these are few and far between. You don't get many opportunities to win a Grey Cup or any championship at the professional football level," Kent said. "It's certainly an incredible experience I'll never forget."
He also won two professional titles in NFL Europe with Berlin in 2002 and Amsterdam in 2005.
One of the first people to congratulate him was his former football coach at Flat Rock Middle School, Mac Cumbo.
"I coached Richard at Flat Rock around 1975-76, I think. During his college years at Appalachian State, he spent many weekends after football with us. We have stayed close all these years. He is a super coach and great guy. I'm very proud of and for him," Cumbo said.
Kent, a 1979 East graduate, said he had always dreamed of being a professional football coach.
"It's what I always wanted to do. You just have to work hard and keep yourself headed in the right direction," he said. "I'm certainly very blessed to be at it for this long. Sometimes you really don't have a choice, because it's very competitive."
Despite being thousands of miles away from North Carolina, Kent has a North Carolina connection on his team: Quarterback Darian Durant.
"He's a good ol' Carolina boy who played at North Carolina. He's from Florence, S.C. He's a great player, and he just shredded the competition in the playoffs. He's a winner," Kent said.
Kent said it was the third time Durant was in a Grey Cup game, the other two being in 2010 and 2011. This was Durant's first Grey Cup win as a starting quarterback.
Following high school, Kent was a quarterback at Appalachian State from 1979-81 and went on to Clemson to earn his Masters.
Kent has been coaching football for the past 29 years. At the collegiate level, he was an assistant at six different colleges from 1985-2000. In 1986 when he was with Clemson as a graduate assistant, the Tigers won the ACC Championship.
From 1999-2007, he was with NFL Europe as an assistant on four different teams and also served as personnel director for three years. From 2003-08 he was an NFL International Scout and Consultant for the NFL International Player Development Program.
Kent came to Saskatchewan after serving as the defensive backs coach for the Omaha Nighthawks of the UFL in 2012. He was the team's special teams coordinator in 2011. Prior to that he was the defensive backs coach for the Toronto Argonauts of the CFL in 2009.
"This is my third job with the Canadian Football League. I love it up here. I'm a transformed Canadian," he said Wednesday night as the temperature in Regina, Saskatchewan, dipped to minus-10 degrees. "We're in what they call a 'prairie winter' up here right now. It's definitely cold. You just get used to it," he said.
He still keeps tabs with his former coaches and teammates and others from the area who made it to professional football.
"When we go down to the States in January and recruit American players, sometimes I'll see some old friends like Mickey Marvin. It's always good to see those guys and share stories. We're still like a close-knit fraternity," Kent said.
And people back in his hometown keep tabs on him.
"Whenever we play on TV, I call my grandmother, who lives in Etowah, and tell her what channel we're on. She always wants to watch our games," he said.

October 7, 2001
When I'm out pouring my wine for the public, one of the most common questions I get is, "how long have you been making wine?" The answer is not necessarily so simple, though it's not as complicated as the other main question I get, "how did you get into wine?" With that one, I can cite any number of epiphanies, a sequence with which readers may be familiar. Being maybe five years old and going on a day trip to Napa during a big family reunion in San Francisco back in the 1970s, the scent of wine soaked wood from the cellar at Inglenook a memory that's never left me and never will. Or studying in Europe during college and traveling to the remarkably picturesque village of St. Emilion in the Bordeaux region. Or later that year living with in Austria and getting schooled in the dry white wines of the Wachau and Weinviertel by my Austrian hosts. Or the bottle of '86 Steltzner Cabernet that my brother poured for me on my first night of a cross-country road trip after leaving college. Or, or...there simply wasn't one epiphany. It's complicated I suppose.
But how long have I been making wine? I usually answer "since 1999," when I first volunteered in the cellar of a California zinfandel and syrah producer then just transitioning from home wine making to the professional ranks. As I've written, that experience provided the model for my own garage wine making before I joined the professional ranks in 2009.
Really, the first day I truly made wine, my own wine, was October 7, 2001, a dry and mild but cloudy Sunday that was otherwise unremarkable at the time, at least that morning, but became one of the most significant days of my life. And keeps on returning in ways I never expect.
I was a new homeowner then, with an unexpectedly large garage that seemed perfect for making wine. I had found a listing for pinot noir grapes outside of Mollala at a local wine making supply store and drove down the valley to pick some hundreds of pounds of grapes myself, the Giants game on the radio in the car on the drive and, later, on my boom box in the vineyard rows as I picked. Slowly. Very inexperienced.
I knew very little about making wine at that point. I was smart enough to ask the grower on the phone when the last sulfur spray had been but innocent enough to take the answer at face value, especially when I arrived to find the vines covered in sulfur dust. I knew that wasn't good but didn't know why, so I went for it anyway and found out the hard way why that was a huge mistake. Sure, the terroir of Mollala may be less than ideal for pinot noir, but the wine sucked because that sulfur reacted with yeast during fementation to create powerful (and powerfully bad) aromas called mercaptans. You know, what they put into natural gas so you can smell it. So you'll know something's wrong and call the gas company before an explosion. Unfortunately, wine is a nice proving ground for mercaptans. This wine succeeded on that level only.
I shouldn't be too hard on myself. The fermentation was otherwise fine. All the sugar converted to alcohol, the wine had good color and enough body to, in theory anyway, make a decent drink. It just smelled and tasted like boiled cabbage under a sewer grate on a summer day. Dank. Nasty.
Happily, I didn't give up. If wine making is about one's quest for new mistakes, for all the things that could possibly go wrong in the process with occasional genius along the way, I was off to a wonderful start. Still waiting for the genius of course, but it was a good start.
I kept bottles of that wine for years, occasionally getting the courage to open one to see if anything positive had happened to that horrible stench. No, it never did and the final bottle went down the drain maybe two years ago in a fit to rid the cellar of this and other failed experiments that had finally outlived any seeming usefulness.
I sort of wish I still had a bottle of that first wine, not because it would be any good. Rather just to see it, to know it was real, which of course it was but now is just memory. Instead, I have other things to remind me.
Take the 2001 St. Innocent Pinot Noir Anden Vineyard, a stray bottle I've held for many years waiting for the "right time" to open. As I've written, I'm clearing through many of these random bottles and the other night it was time for this wine to receive its due. And oh my god, if my first wine was that bad, this is incredibly good. A bit tannic but otherwise remarkable, astonishing even. Wine that tastes like nothing else but Oregon, with the masculinity of Seven Springs vineyard and a savor that only the best Oregon wines ever show. This bottle was too good for Friday pizza night at home.
Of course, I had none of this on my mind when I opened the bottle. It was just another wine I'd waited on too long, or thought I had anyway, that seemed to need opening. Now. I poured it and immediately the scent made me laugh. This is why I make Oregon wine. This smelled unlike anything else in the world, unlike any other place in the world. The words I use may not be so distinct, but the wine utterly is. Cherries, black tea, a sense of green moss on a forest floor otherwise covered in brown leaves and needles, dry and earthy the way hummus smells, ashy in a way that convinces me it's most or all Pommard clone, like Burgundy but nothing like the Cote de Nuits or Cote de Beaune, if that makes sense. This is simply Oregon, and lovely.
Then I turned the bottle to read the back label and found the pity stats winemaker Mark Vlossak likes to print. When it was picked, how long it was aged, when it was bottled, etc. And the pick dates here were October 5 and 7, 2001, bringing back that latter day in a flood of memory that I've been thinking about all weekend.
That crazy day when I heard on the radio about the start of war on my drive home, wondering for more than a moment if I wasn't a presumptuous fool for making wine in the face of such catastrophe. But it's what I do. And that's the day it really all began.

Wow! Only good as a 'pizza wine on a Friday night??" I envisioned so much more for his 2001's. I have about a case of 2001 St. Innocent (various vinyards) and thought they were stil on the young side. Can you share any more impression on this wine? Is the fruit holding up? Acids in balance? Is it young, old, tired, vibrant? Any help is much appreciated!- Dudley

No, TOO good for homemade pizza on a Friday night. And that's good homemade pizza. This wine was rocking. Aromatically complex, fascinating, right in a good place between young and old, tannic and like always to be tannic, but otherwise something so good it stayed with me all weekend and compelled me to write a piece that surprised me a little, dug out something in deep that I didn't even know I'd write about. The wine was that good.

OK. That's the info I was looking for. I'll have to dust off a few of them and see what pours out! Thanks V.

Where to get in with these other #'s...
September 07, 2001, 06:05:39 AM »
OK I went to an Ivy League university and graduated with a 3.40 (with honors). I double majored in both Political Science and International Relations. I was involved in a great deal of extra-curriculars and was a national officer of an organization.
I have been working as a government consultant since graduation in 1998. I also took some time from consulting to work on a judicial fellowship for a year with the State of California.
Unfortunately I got a 156 on the LSAT.
I was hoping to apply to Georgetown, GWU, Northwestern, Notre Dame, BU, BC, and Vanderbilt.
I'm hoping to get some feedback on my chances. Any advice and/or ideas are greatly apprecaited.
Thank you.
Fear the Terriers. Woof Woof.

Imho, with a 3.4/156, those schools are going to be reaches. Your extras and Ivy degree might help you, but I'm not sure they'd be able to change a whole lot.
I'd say your chances at GULC, Vandy and NWU are going to be pretty low given their medians. BC, I hear, look for 3.5/160s.
BU is notoriously LSAT heavy. They do seem to give Ivy grads some leeway but its usually in the GPA department and not LSAT. BU is getting into "we're going to cut class size and be more selective to raise rankings" mode so they might be more critical about the lower LSAT.
I have no experience with ND . . . can't help ya there.
Good Luck!
I love YaBB 1 Gold!

Thanks Jube!
They are reaches but not impossible right?
All I hope to do is get my foot in the door. I have a lot of unique experiences (more than I've already revealed) and hope to be able to get my essay and resume read by the law schools. I just hope that the adcomms will read my app and not just toss it. Right now ND is my safety and I'd be very content going there. The schools I mentioned earlier are just my first round. I want to see if I get any responses from any of them, then I will apply to another three or four schools.
Let me know if you have anything else to add.

I refuse to say anything is impossible.
Every case is different so it's hard to generalize and say you'll never get in.
That said, realistically, unless ND is the lowest you're willing to go, I'd go for a lower safety. Schools in the middle of the Tier 1 pack tend to be gungho about raising their rank (cuz they're soooo close to breaking top 25) so they tend to be less lenient about numbers, esp. the LSAT.
Have you thought about retaking the LSAT?
I'm outtie. TTYL!

Hi there!
This is for all of us who don't have additional time to prove ourselves on the LSAT. I had a 152/3.5 and graduated from Florida International University w/honors. I was admitted into Fordham, Tulane, Florida State Univ., Univ. of Miami and Stetson Univ.; as well as offered fin. aid. The best advice I can give is try your best, apply to all kinds of schools (1st, 2nd, and 3rd tiers) so you're left with options, and prove yourself in other ways (personal stmt, activities, work exp, etc.) I personally did not have the time to do every single LSAT exam issued and the assignments that went along with the Kaplan course, while working and attending school full time, so I focused on sending out perfect applications. It's important you stay positive, it will reflect in your application and I firmly believe make you stand out!
Goodluck everyone!
I love YaBB 1G - SP1!

I'm currently a junior in college and am looking to apply to law school in the fall. I go to Colgate University and my 1 problem is that my GPA is only 2.60. I have scored in the high 150's and low 160's on my lsat practice tests. I know my GPA is gonna hurt me, but will they give me some leeway considering Colgate is a pretty tough school? I was wondering what some moderate schools to apply to and some reaches would be. I appreciate it.

I applied to ND last year and when I called them they seemed to be pretty strict with the LSAT score. I don't believe they are looking for anything under a 158. On top of that, one of my friend's sister received a 153 on her LSAT and had a 3.0 GPA and was accepted by Fordham, which she obviously took. It really depends on what type of school you are applying to. Hope this helps.

Better late than never I guess:
I would say based on what I have learned on this board that after you are looked at by numbers then they look like they will reject you (your LSAT is good so they shouldn't) then they will use an index to rank how difficult your school is on average and maybe you will be given extra consideration based on those revalations.

Despite such a good UGPA and GGPA since your LSAT is a 148 your options are limited. But you can go to the LSAC website
and there you can search via LSAC data search from within all ABA approved law schools based on your UGPA (not GGPA but in your case they are the same) and LSAT here are the results (give or take because of your circumstances many schools will take into account your GGPA being so high and take your LSAT score as being only lower because you are a poor standardized tester or because you had extenuating circumstances * sorry to come off so bluntly) After looking into the results because of your UGPA being so high your options are not that limited, in fact it would take a long time to give you the list to choose form so check it out personally I will give you the admission breakdown: 51 schools have admitted 90% of the people with your credentails and 80 have admitted over 75%, 23 schools have admitted between 60-80% whereas only 13 have admitted b/w 40-60%. Lastly 56 schools have admitted less than 25% of the people with these credntials (3.95 GPA and 148 LSAT) 36 schools admitted less than 10%.
Now that you can kind of see your options I will set the record straight a little bit, all of the top tier schools are sitting at about 25% and below with Harvard and Yale sitting At below 10%, 2nd tier schools such as UA and ASU are in the 40-60 range. And so on and so forth to veiw all of the details of these schools and your chances for all these shcools as I have metioned go to:
then hit the link (3rd form the top on the homepage "Official Guide to ABA Approved Law Schools"
then from there a link 4 places form the top entitled: "LSAC data search" then from there you can input your info such as under the GPA (3.95) and under the LSAT (148) you will then be able to seee what schools will admit a percentage of people with these exact same credentials (the higher the percentage the better your chances obviously) then if you want more info just click the school and you can get a plethora of info like the medians of LSAT and GOA admitted and how much does it cost to apply or tuition etc.. Hope this helps you out let me know okay. Have fun and good luck!

Don't place this pie side by side with your grandmother's brisket because you will break the laws of kashrut. This pie features two kinds of cheese, so use the pie for a dairy Passover or any dairy meal during Passover, like on the fourth night. But like I said, it's December right now and the recipe works really well for those of you who want something light and refreshing and festive.
*The other Kornfeld Passover recipes included a Chocolate Mousse Cake made with almond flour, Garlicky Leek and Artichoke Soup with basil pesto, and Tunisian Carrot Salad with radishes and olives. You might be able to look them up at the Vegetarian Times website.
Greens and Quinoa Pie
1/2 Cup white (not red) quinoa
1 large bunch escarole, curly endive, or chicory (about 1 1/4 lb.)
1 head Romaine lettuce
2 medium onions
4 to 5 scallions, washed
1/4 Cup fresh dill, washed
1/4 Cup (1 ounce) feta cheese, preferably marinated
1/4 Cup (1 ounce) Swiss-type cheese, grated
3 eggs
olive oil
Special equipment: a 9-inch pie pan
- Thoroughly rinse off the saponin (bitter coating) on the quinoa in several changes of water. Drain. Combine with 1 Cup of water and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan. Cover, bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium low, and simmer, covered, 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Alternately, combine the water, quinoa, and salt in a rice cooker and set for the regular cycle. Fluff with the rice paddle.
- Meanwhile, remove damaged outer leaves and core from escarole, chop roughly, and wash and dry. Set aside.
- Repeat Step 2 with Romaine lettuce.
- Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add escarole and cook up to 5 minutes, or until mostly wilted, stirring frequently. Add Romaine and wilt that too. Transfer the greens to a strainer and push out excess moisture with a wooden spoon. Allow greens to continue draining while you complete additional steps.
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Peel and thinly slice onions. Heat some olive oil in a frypan over medium-high heat. Sauté onions about 10 minutes or until softened and browning. Allow to cool
- Chop your drained, wilted greens until they are in quite small pieces. Return them to the large pot (without heat). Add quinoa. Thinly slice scallions and add. Chop up dill and add. Crumble the feta cheese and add. Add grated Swiss cheese. Add cooled onions. Mix thoroughly all together.
- Lightly beat the eggs and add to the pot. Mix again.
- Pour 1 Tablespoon oil into the pie pan. Place pan in oven for 5 minutes. Remove and swirl oil to coat the bottom.
- Put the quinoa-greens mixture into the pie pan and smooth the top. Bake 20 minutes.
- Remove pie, drizzle with 1 Tablespoon olive oil, and bake another 20 to 30 minutes, until the pie is golden brown.
- Eat hot or eat cold or eat from the pot nine days old.

MOORE, Okla. — The cost of a massive tornado that battered an Oklahoma City suburb could be more than $2 billion, according to a preliminary official estimate announced today.
Oklahoma Insurance Department spokeswoman Calley Herth said that the early damage tally is based on visual assessments of the extensive disaster zone that stretches more than 17 miles and the fact that Monday's tornado was on the ground for 40 minutes.
The financial cost of the tornado in Moore could be greater than the $2 billion in damage from the 2011 tornado that killed 158 people in Joplin, Mo., Herth said, adding that the Joplin twister left a smaller trail of destruction.
Authorities have yet to say how many homes were damaged or destroyed, but an aerial view of the site shows whole neighborhoods obliterated, with gouged earth littered with splintered wood and pulverized cars.
Dan Ramsey, president of the Independent Insurance Agents of Oklahoma, said a damage estimate in the low billions is "not surprising."
"Certainly it's in the hundreds of millions," Ramsey said. "I suppose seeing projections from similar disasters, it could stretch to a billion" or more.
With no reports of anyone still missing, the Oklahoma medical examiner's office announced that it has positively identified 23 of the 24 people who died in the tornado, and that 10 of those killed are children.

Dental Health Insurance
Dental Articles:Other than medical insurance, dental insurance is one of the most significant factors that will affect your overall health and lifestyle. Believe it or not, your dental health affects every single part of your life. Ever had a toothache that just wouldn't go away? If you did, you more than likely realized that many of the things in your life changed. You were probably less inclined to be sociable, you didn't want to go to work, and because you were in pain, you might have even been grumpy a lot of the time. It's amazing, your dental health really does impact every aspect of your life.
If you don't take care of your teeth or maintain proper dental hygiene early on, the risks associated with your oral health increase. In the long term, you'll end up paying more money reversing damages that could have been prevented. Prevention is a key term that you must keep in mind to ensure optimum dental health. Regular orthodontic or dental visits for cleaning, braces evaluation and other oral checkups can prevent the onset of serious oral surgery later in life. Assessing and diagnosing problems early on can become costly as well, but not nearly as much as they will become if you don't take care of them immediately. Whether you need low income dental insurance or a comprehensive family plan we can help meet your budget.
When it comes to purchasing insurance, don't waste your time, shop online to find the dental plan that best meets your needs and budget.

Did you know that Australia's gorgeous Tasmanian devils are a critically endangered species and predictions are that they will be extinct within 10 to 15 years? This is all because of a nasty disease known as Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD).
DFTD is a debilitating cancerous sarcoma threatening wild populations, and is highly contagious among devils; tumours appear on the Tasmanian devil's face and neck and the devil dies of starvation within three to six months of infection.
Australia Zoo is doing everything in our power to reverse the possibility of losing this species to disease. Australia Zoo's Tasmanian devils, Narahi and Presely will be two devils participating in our breeding program this year to hopefully continue growing the insurance population of Tasmanian devils.
Introduction of Presely to Narahi will take place over the coming days and our keepers are hopeful that Presely, already a father of four can continue doing his bit for the conservation of a species.
So what exactly takes place during breeding season?
Once two devils have been introduced and their personalities are a match, they remain together for five to ten days. After this time together, it takes 21 days until we know if breeding has been successful or not. After 21 days, if breeding was successful, a Tasmanian devil is born; However; a Tasmanian devil joey will remain in its mothers pouch for four months; so it is safe to say the waiting game is on at Australia Zoo.
People can help save the species by donating towards Tasmanian devil conservation at http://www.australiazoo.com.au/conservation/projects/tasmanian-devils/
