 +
 +
NEW YORK (AP) Joey Chestnut downed 69 franks and devoured his own record in the men s Fourth of July hot dog eating contest while Sonya Thomas defended her title in the women s competition.
 +
 +
The San Jose, Calif., man known as Jaws ate one more wiener than his previous record to capture the mustard-yellow champion s belt. He said afterward that he was motivated by the prestige, not the $10,000 prize money.
 +
 +
I d do this for nothing, he said.
 +
 +
Thomas, a 100-pound dynamo known as the Black Widow of competitive eating, wolfed down nearly 37 wieners to narrowly eke out her own victory.
 +
 +
Chestnut, 29, is a seven-time winner who set the old record 68 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes in 2009 and tied it last year. Thomas,[http://www.ettlingen-oberweier.de/wiki/Benutzer:Mrgxnekkxp#Air_Pollution_Advisory_extended_through_Saturday Air Pollution Advisory extended through Saturday], 45, powered through 45 dogs to take the women s championship last year and also won in 2011, the first year women competed separately
 +
 +
Chestnut, who weighs 210 pounds, had said his pace was uneven in the past, but this year I m trying to eat a little more gracefully, conserve my energy.
 +
 +
Second-place finisher was Matt Stonie, who chomped down 51 hot dogs.
 +
 +
With this year s victory, Chestnut has now bested his former rival,[http://project.iflysse.com/index.php?title=%E7%94%A8%E6%88%B7:Mklaxzmexi#Poll-_What_do_you_think_of_the_Huskies.E2.80.99_new_gold_chrom Poll- What do you think of the Huskies’ new gold chrom], Takeru Kobayashi, who won six times. Kobayashi competed in a different eating contest Thursday.
 +
 +
Thomas went toe-to-toe with Juliet Lee for the $5,000 women s prize. Thomas finished with 36 and three-quarters dogs; Lee ate 36 wieners.
 +
 +
Thomas said the challenge of shoveling down dozens of franks is actually more mental than physical.
 +
 +
I have to fight with myself, so I m going to try to really focus, said Thomas, of Alexandria, Va.,[http://hakopedia.org/wiki/%E5%88%A9%E7%94%A8%E8%80%85:Mwoacmuvfz#Suspect_faces_charges_following_shoot Suspect faces charges following shoot], where she manages a fast-food restaurant.

Now in its 98th year, the Nathan s Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest draws crowds of thousands to marvel at contestants cramming frankfurters down their throats.
 +
 +
Ginger Perry,[http://hedewikin.se/index.php?title=Anv%C3%A4ndare:Maaqaldtyu#Enjoy_the_holidays_Victorian_era Enjoy the holidays Victorian era], 47, of Obion County, Tenn., said she and her family planned their New York City vacation around the contest after watching it on TV in past years.
 +
 +
Perry was impressed that Coney Island has recovered so well from being slammed by Superstorm Sandy last October. It s amazing to be here and that they rebuilt so quickly, she said.
 +
 +
The hot dog contest took place despite concerns about a swaying,[http://maminet.net/home.php?mod=space&uid=124852&do=blog&id=493378 Mansfield feels at home at Kil], shuttered observation tower that spurred the closure of parts of the nearby amusement park.

 +
By Byron YorkSyndicated ColumnistThere was a striking moment in the Senate Judiciary Committee s debate on the Gang of Eight s comprehensive immigration reform bill when Republican Jeff Sessions and Democrat Charles Schumer argued over the number of immigrants who would be allowed into the country under the new legislation.Sessions cited reports suggesting the figure would be more than 20 million over the next decade in addition to the 11 million or so who are already in the United States illegally. Schumer took issue with that, although he wouldn t name a figure of his own.Then Schumer declared the whole dispute beside the point. It is not that, Oh,[http://wiking.vulcan.com/smwcon/index.php/User:Mjsfcadmdw#Mike_Scinto_Conservative_American_1 Mike Scinto Conservative American 1], this bill is allowing many more people to come into this country than would have come, he said. They are coming. They re either coming under law or not under law. The Democratic leader of the Gang of Eight continued: This argument that there are going to be 20 million new people in this country under this bill ignores the fact that there are going to be lots of millions in the country illegally if we don t have a bill. What made the exchange notable was that many Democrats who oppose more stringent border security measures argue that after recent increases in spending and resources the U.S.-Mexico border is already pretty secure as secure now as it has ever been, in the words of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. They also suggest that the number of illegal crossers is at an all-time low and will likely never rise again to levels seen in the 1990s and 2000s.What Schumer conceded, perhaps in an unguarded moment, is that the border remains quite porous, and the U.S. can expect lots of millions to cross illegally in coming years if nothing more is done. The disagreement on Capitol Hill, of course, is over what should be done, but Schumer s off-the-cuff analysis provides a lot of material for Republicans pressing for a guarantee of greater security measures before millions of illegal immigrants are given legal status.That GOP position received an even bigger boost with a recent report from the border in The New York Times. The crux of the story is that the number of illegal crossings is rising, and in response to greater security measures in Arizona, the flow from Mexico has shifted east to the Rio Grande Valley in Texas.Yes, the number of illegal crossers is down from a dozen years ago as the U.S. economy remains a less powerful magnet than it once was. But after nearly a decade of steady declines, the count has started to rise again over the past year, the Times reported. The Rio Grande Valley has displaced the Tucson enforcement zone as the hot spot, with makeshift rafts crossing the river in increasing numbers, high-speed car chases occurring along rural roads and a growing number of dead bodies turning up on ranchers land, according to local officials.  There is just so much happening at the same time it is overwhelming,[http://rcwiki.goumin.com/index.php?title=%E7%94%A8%E6%88%B7:Mmyvhjmdtl#Mariners_blow_Red_Sox_out_by_an_11 Mariners blow Red Sox out by an 11], a Brooks County, Texas, sheriff s deputy told the Times.Border Patrol agents are outnumbered; extensive, passable stretches of the border are unwatched; whole groups of immigrants cross unseen. People are just crossing without fear, said an alderman in La Joya.It s happening in part because the American economy,[http://rafaelfreitas.info/jogos/index.php/Usu%C3%A1rio:Mgmmblnjhb#Seattle_Men.E2.80.99s_Chorus.2C_Seattle_Women.E2.80.99s_Chorus_loo Seattle Men’s Chorus, Seattle Women’s Chorus loo], hit so hard by the economic downturn,[http://wiki.comunitavalledisole.tn.it/index.php?title=Utente:Mpiawimuex#The_Strait_of_Juan_de_Fuca_loaded_with_kings_and_pinks.2C_and The Strait of Juan de Fuca loaded with kings and pinks, and], is finally improving, becoming a draw again for immigrants, especially those from Central America who travel through Mexico on their way to the Texas border. Also, crime remains a terrible problem in many immigrants home countries. And word is spreading that the U.S. Congress is contemplating a measure to legalize millions of illegal border-crossers.That is the backdrop for this week s Senate debate on border security in the Gang of Eight plan. Democrats are dead set against any proposal that would make permanent legal status and a path to citizenship contingent on measurable improvements in border security. On the other side,[http://wiki.sejapan.net/%E5%88%A9%E7%94%A8%E8%80%85:Myfskxckxt#Poll-_What_do_you_think_of_the_Huskies.E2.80.99_new_gold_chrom Poll- What do you think of the Huskies’ new gold chrom], many Republicans believe those improvements will never happen unless the law says legalization won t be allowed without security first. The only question is whether Republicans will stick to their guns or give in to Democrats.In the debate, supporters of the Gang of Eight bill will almost certainly pronounce the border more secure than it has ever been; such rhetoric is a staple of such debates. But the situation on the border remains troublesome, and if the American economy continues to improve, as everyone hopes it does, the problem could become worse. Schumer is probably right. In coming years, lots of millions will seek to come to the U.S. illegally unless something is done.Byron York is chief political correspondent for The Washington Examiner.

 +
 +
A quick ball sent up from the back in the 1st minute to Dayton s Gibson Bardsley resulted in a shot on goal that just missed wide of the far post. Rochester began to find their feet in the 26th minute with a shot from Gabe Latigue that just curved left of the goal.
 +
 +
But,[http://histopedia.de/index.php?title=Benutzer:Muquwvljqc#Catching_up_with_Fredy_Montero.2C_who_says_Seattle_is_.E2.80.98m Catching up with Fredy Montero, who says Seattle is ‘m], in the 38th minute, the Rhinos didn t miss and a light cross to the head of Blake Brettschneider put the Rhinos on the board first.
 +
 +
The equalizer came in the 44th minute for the Lions with Eli Garner receiving a pass from Bardsley and making a run,[http://wiki.zvesela.cz/index.php/U%C5%BEivatel:Mqeiqgpyxn#County_group_looks_to_prevent_motorcycle_crashes County group looks to prevent motorcycle crashes], Garner wasted no time and put it in the back of the net. The half ended in a tie 1-1.
 +
 +
The second half started with the Lions coming out strong again. In the 45th minute a ball up from Matt Weit to the head of Tjeerd Westdijke, who flicked the ball over the Rochester defender and gave Garner a great opportunity, but the shot went directly to Rhinos keeper Kristian Nicht.
 +
 +
The Rhinos answered back with Brettschneider getting open again near the Lions goal and he wasted no time sending one across the goal.
 +
 +
However, Dayton s defense stepped up to prevent any balls from finding the back of the net. In the 64 minute a drive by Shane Smith lead to a beautiful series for Dayton with a pass to Garner on the left, a cross back to Bardsley on the right and then back center for a goal by Westdijk and a 2-1 Dayton lead.
 +
 +
In the 80th minute, Dayton gets the extra cushion they need when Joey Madigan makes a run and crosses to Bardsley for an easy goal and a 3-1 advantage.
 +
 +
A direct kick on the 25 yard line in the 90th minute gave Rochester their best chance of the half, when the ball flew left of the wall. Keeper Matt Williams made a diving save to push the ball out behind the end line.
 +
 +
Coach Patrick Bal relished the the victory.
 +
 +
Thanks to this win,[http://hype.ini.fi/wiki/K%C3%A4ytt%C3%A4j%C3%A4:Mvbccfswzu#At_Tour_de_France.2C_Cavendish_edges_toward_legends_1 At Tour de France, Cavendish edges toward legends 1], we have moved up to fourth place in the standings, which is a first in our team s history.

XENIA An Indiana couple is not only returning to participate in the 2013 Greene Trails Cycling Classic hosted by Greene County Parks Trails with EXCEL Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation but has also purchased a home in Xenia because of the proximity to the county s 62 miles of paved,[http://www.labarthe.edu.pe/palewiki/index.php/Usuario:Mpczgbtwkt#Emergency_ordinance_placed_on_ballot Emergency ordinance placed on ballot], multi-use trails. The quality of the trails in the region is just remarkable. The people with Greene County Parks Trails and throughout the community are incredibly helpful and so nice, says Beverly Sievers formerly of Avon, Indiana.Sievers and husband David are looking forward to having daily access to the multi-use trails. We wanted a neighborhood that had direct access to the trails, was near a church and offered a safe riding environment, Sievers adds.Greene Trails Cycling Classic is a fun, family-oriented get-away for both local and visiting cyclists.

== Washington’s Tobacco Program and Quitline ==
 +
 +
<html>Program should not be defunded
 +
While there were many losers in the Washington state budget battle , one important casualty was Washington’s Tobacco Program and Quitline.
 +
From 2000 to 2009, this nationally recognized program cut youth smoking in half and adult smoking by 25 percent, bringing the state to the third-lowest smoking rate in the United States. We’re now ranked 7th and falling fast.
 +
Tobacco use remains the leading preventable cause of death, costing our state $200 billion for smoking-related illnesses and productivity loss, yet every dollar spent on tobacco prevention saves five.
 +
Private employers are also affected. Employing a smoker costs $6,000 more per year for health care and absenteeism.
 +
Washington’s Quitline, nearly completely defunded by the new budget, provided free, lifesaving support to more than 170,000 smokers, helping them quit using tobacco and preventing heart attacks,[http://www.architecturebois.fr/wikibois/index.php?title=Utilisateur:Mtnlcdggtt#Beavercreek_student_goes_to_leadership_seminar Beavercreek student goes to leadership seminar], strokes and cancers.
 +
In 2012, Washington received $732 million in tobacco-related revenue. Under this budget, less than one-tenth of 1 percent of this will be used as intended,[http://wiki.tanssipelit.fi/wiki/K%C3%A4ytt%C3%A4j%C3%A4:Myggxlpwel#Microsoft_touts_Azure_progress.2C_builds_iOS_app_0 Microsoft touts Azure progress, builds iOS app 0], despite overwhelming voter support.

 +
South Bend,[http://wiki.bshellz.pl/U%C5%BCytkownik:Mcwyzdqwam#Michigan.27s_snappy_innovation Michigan's snappy innovation], Ind. Mike Lang s bunt single keyed a 12th inning rally as the South Bend Silver Hawks defeated the Dayton Dragons 5-4 on Monday night to complete a sweep of the three-game series.
 +
 +
South Bend did not pick up a base hit after Lang s one-out triple in the fourth inning until he came to the plate with two outs and the bases empty in the 12th.
 +
 +
Lang bunted for a base hit and stole second on the first pitch to put the winning run in scoring position. Pedro Ruiz followed with a line drive single to right field. Dayton s Beau Amaral charged the ball and made a strong accurate throw home,[http://wiki.vagasestacio.com.br/index.php?title=Usu%C3%A1rio%3AMrxroazkhz#Latest_ocean_salmon_catch_figures Latest ocean salmon catch figures], but Lang s slide beat the tag as South Bend celebrated a walk-off win.
 +
 +
Dragons pitchers allowed no hits and only one base runner over a seven inning stretch from the fifth through the 11th before the Silver Hawks scored in the 12th. Dragons reliever Jesus Adames (1-2) surrendered the run to absorb the loss.
 +
 +
The Dragons scored two runs in the top of the first inning to take an early lead,[http://wiki.mootiro.org/index.php/Usu%C3%A1rio:Mevalcsyam#Jim_Hightower.27s_Common_Sense Jim Hightower's Common Sense], getting one run on a wild pitch and another on a run-scoring single by Junior Arias.
 +
 +
South Bend answered with three runs in the bottom of the first to take a 3-2 lead. After the teams traded runs over the next two innings, the Dragons tied the game at 4-4 in the fifth when Amaral doubled,[http://wiki2.nusepas.com/index.php/User:Maobwaozwb#Earnhardt_to_race_at_Kil_2 Earnhardt to race at Kil 2], went to third on Sammy Diaz s sacrifice, and scored on Jesse Winker s ground out to make it 4-4.
 +
 +
The Dragons threatened to take the lead in the ninth inning when Joe Hudson walked and Tanner Rahier singled him to second with no one out. But Humberto Valor failed to get a bunt down and then grounded into a double play, and Brent Peterson struck out to end the threat.
 +
 +
Dragons starting pitcher Nick Travieso tossed a career-high six innings and allowed four runs on five hits with three walks and six strikeouts.
 +
 +
He pitched well at times. In the third inning, South Bend put runners at second and third with no one out, and Travieso responded by striking out the next three batters to work out of the jam. Three of the four runs against Travieso came in the first inning.
 +
 +
The Dragons collected eight hits. Amaral and Arias each had two. Dragons reliever Kyle McMyne worked an electrifying two innings, retiring all six batters he faced while notching four strikeouts.
 +
 +
The Dragons (5-7) travel to Bowling Green, Kentucky to battle the Bowling Green Hot Rods starting Tuesday at 8:05 p.m. (EDT).
 +
 +
Jackson Stephens (0-2, 6.00) will start for Dayton against Bowling Green s Sean Bierman (4-3, 2.13). The teams will meet on four consecutive dates with the series moving to Dayton starting Thursday,[http://wiki.asoiu.com/index.php/%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Moqdjnqrmu#Choo.27s_single_in_11th_lifts_Reds_over_Giants_3 Choo's single in 11th lifts Reds over Giants 3], July 4.

== Koch Brothers No Longer Interested in Tribune ==
 +
 +
<html>By Sara Morrison
 +
Stand down, anti-Koch protestors who mobilized in the face of  that the ultra-conservative brothers wanted to buy the Tribune s newspaper properties, including the LA Times! They aren t buying.
 +
 +
But it might not have been the Kochs choice. An executive close to the situation told TheWrap that Tribune stepped away from the idea of selling to the Koch brothers two months ago. Chairman of the board Bruce Karsh balked at the sale after widespread outcry, which included&nbsp; loud protests in front of his Beverly Hills house,[http://hedewikin.se/index.php?title=Anv%C3%A4ndare:Maaqaldtyu#Consultant_Peter_Humphrey_arrested_in_connection_with_probe Consultant Peter Humphrey arrested in connection with probe], the executive said.

A spokeswoman for Koch Industries told  that a story on the conservative website The Daily Caller about their withdrawing was correct. Koch continues to have an interest in the media business and we re exploring a broad range of opportunities where we think we can add value. In terms of the Tribune, the Daily Caller story is accurate.

Thursday s  on the Daily Caller cited sources who claimed it was Charles and David Koch who backed away from the negotiating table after deciding that purchase would not be economically viable.

When rumors swirled that the Kochs were interested in purchasing those papers, organizations and even communities organized against the conservative billionaires.

<html>Recently lost your job? You’re likely not over the initial shock, even if you know it’s coming as part of a down-sizing process. Getting finances in order, launching a job search, establishing a new routine all take some time, thought and effort. Often, people find themselves wondering where to start.

== Thoughts and musings on my first Summer League ==
 +
 +
<html>There are two gyms at Las Vegas' Summer League, within about 100 feet of each other, and encompassing the same amount of NBA dreams, bubbling to burst, at any moment, in a place that is unlike any other in the world. And so fans of all ages, old, young, and the hungover teenagers that find their way to the arena, find themselves in close proximity to some of the best basketball players in the world, all melded together for a week of vapid basketball of little ultimate consequence. . Though it was a down year for reasons fluky and otherwise it's an experience unlike any other in the sporting world, basketball or not.
 +
 +
Keep in mind that most rookies that "fail to impress" or "bust" are just that,[http://wikipedia.fsw.leidenuniv.nl:8080/IclonWiki/index.php?title=Gebruiker:Miujxrwyfm#Landers-_Fewer_bull_tags_but_new_elk_opportunities_in_Blues Landers- Fewer bull tags but new elk opportunities in Blues], rookies, most likely 18-20 years old, playing in what can be considered a pickup basketball game with the same structural level as a five-year old built Lego bridge. However, there were several players I picked up on after voluntarily subjecting myself to the egregious mistake-filled basketball reserved for the truly degenerate hoops junkie.
 +
 +
Most Impressive:
 +
 +
Let's get this out of the way first: players like , the Morris twins, and even  are supposed to dominate these kinds of games. They are physically superior, and with a couple years of professional experience, are simply better players at this juncture of their careers.
 +
 +
With that being said, my favorite player was . Granted, I was fighting a food coma after a second helping of chicken finger and fries (necessary if only because there's nothing else worth eating) but his advanced footwork and ability to shoot from mid-range had me gushing about his role alongside one-sided players like  and . So often we quickly pinpoint weaknesses due to our own preconceived notions and it's easy to think Zeller is unathletic and simply a hustle player. However, he tested as one of the most athletic bigs and can also . He'll still need to bulk up as most rookies do but the talent level is there, and though the  might've , he has enough talent to justify the selection. He averaged  and 9.3 rebounds while shooting 53 percent in 32 minutes per game. Can you tell that I love him?
 +
 +
Choosing a guard was extremely tough given the affinity I have for players that can control the pace of the offense, with poise and calmness that seeps through all floor generals. Ian Clark shot well,[http://wiki.scytheswath.com/index.php?title=%D0%9F%D0%BE%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B1%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BB:Mlyaepbybx#Group_pushes_again_for_city_policy_on_drone_use Group pushes again for city policy on drone use],  flashed some of the traits that might lead him into a rotation player for the next decade,  has excellent touch and toughness in the lane,  exhibited a smooth handle, ' out-of-nowhere-ness,  showcasing a great feel for the game, but the player that rose above all was Dennis Schroder (pronounced Schrew-der).
 +
 +
Most comparisons that come through the  are inaccurate, wishful thinking and sometimes downright Skip Baylessian in its absurdity, but the  parallel is striking. His body is even built the same way: the long arms, glove-like hands, and thin,[http://unimifisica.altervista.org/index.php?title=Utente:Mfjlvnmlhc#Tom_Brady_visits_Michigan_football_team Tom Brady visits Michigan football team], narrow shoulders. LIke Rondo, Schroder rarely showed emotion in running the offense, and getting into the lane almost at will consider that defenders played back often because of his lack of a consistent jumper. The pick-and-rolls with fellow first-round pick  were downright unfair. The only issues with Schroder's game so far? He only shot  during the week but his 86.7 percent free-throw percentage and the lack of a pronounced hitch in his shot (like Rondo) tells us he can improve immensely in that area.
 +
 +
Least Impressive:
 +
 +
I dislike this portion because I want all the players to succeed and oftentimes Summer League isn't the right place for players so used to a system and hours, weeks and months of practice to get to a certain point in their game. I couldn't include  (more of a system player) or  (showed flashes of stardom), but it became simultaneously frustrating to watch  play basketball while imagining what could be possible in Cleveland.
 +
 +
Sick of watching  win not one, but two championships after leaving Cleveland, Dan Gilbert appears to be pushing all his chips on the table in signing  and drafting offensive-minded  instead of injured Nerlens Noel. Let's not forget they drafted  over Jonas Valanciunas (lol) and then Waiters over  (thanks!) despite getting lucky in the lottery.
 +
 +
Don't get me wrong, Waiters has some of the worn-out phrases that people love to claim; "he can put the ball in the bucket" and "he's fearless and tough out there". There's no doubt he can score, but at what cost? The results of so many Cleveland possessions turned into a Waiters show left me losing count of the times he'd pound the ball relentlessly per possession. It's almost as if he enjoys the sound of his dribbling and shooting the way Dexter Morgan treasures his blood slides.
 +
 +
I'll direct you to the  but there's no reason to harp on the numbers if you watch him play for a few possessions. Waiters has the potential to become an electrifying offensive player but the question will remain how the  reign in his propensity to put on his own show.
 +
 +
 +
 +
Ultimately, we learned that the tournament format, it's AAU-style effects, and the product on the floor were subpar. As fans we are always attempting to fix things, complaining, trying to imagine an ideal that conforms to our thoughts of what makes the sport functions as its best. Some easy solutions for next season are shortening the number of games and days (not many want to or can afford to stay in Vegas for 12 days), switching the exhibition games to a points format like the Orlando Summer League and even some quirky resolutions like tossing in a dunk contest, three-point contest or letting the players choose their own teams.
 +
 +
But ultimately,[http://www.planet1337.com/technikum/wiki/index.php?title=Benutzer:Muzelsfcev#Video-_Fox_News_Viewers_Suggest_Killing_Atheists_part_of_Rel Video- Fox News Viewers Suggest Killing Atheists part of Rel], most of the issues with the games itself should resolve themselves by the time 2014 rolls around. It was an unlucky year in that most lottery picks were either hurt or drafted by teams that decided not to attend the affair. We ended up stuck with undrafted rookies and two or three-year veterans (or a 30-year old Koby Carl) trying to make names for other teams. Next year's draft class is hailed as one of the greatest in the past decade or so and another year of seasoning for what might be a weak rookie class combined with the sheer talent on the floor should make games more watchable. It only takes one player on each team (see: Dwight Buycks) to render a game watchable and there's enough talent to go around in the Andrew Wiggins-led draft.
 +
 +
 +
 +
It was my first year at Summer League and I got to meet a ton of great people, bloggers and writers, and ultimately getting me to think about how often this occurs in other sports, if at all. Oftentimes, these summer games are just a haven for managers, executives, writers and reporters to hang around, meet each other and make connections for the future. The other side of the basketball game can be just as important as the one going on around them and I was glad to make up a minute portion of it.
 +
 +
With that being said, Seth Pollack (SB Nation NBA League Manager) and Nate Parham brought up great points on a car ride to the arena: should other sports do this too? Better yet, is it possible? The NFL has a  but it's a rather serious time with scouts making final marks and tallies before the draft. Perhaps the Pro Bowl is a better location and stress-free environment for this type of gathering. MLB has a Winter Meeting and a Spring Training but it's hard to gather everyone when the places are so spread out. Winter Meetings happen mostly behind closed doors and Spring Training is in two different places: Arizona and Florida.
 +
 +
One can argue that only basketball is able to do this, with it's close-knit level of bloggers and proximity to the game. I wouldn't be opposed to the thought that other sports can and should attempt this social gathering as well.

== Skyscrapers of Victoria Harbour ==
 +
 +
<html>Hong Kong is an architects' playground. Against a backdrop of steep hills and framing the city's crown jewel that is Victoria Harbour stand impossibly tall structures, packed as tightly as trees in a jungle - a testament to wealth and power.
 +
 +
Jammed into that narrow band of land between hills and sea, the soaring skyscrapers, glittering with lights come dusk, are seen as the symbol of Hong Kong's success. And behind all the glass and steel are some of Asia's most powerful people, high-rise neighbours in one of the city's most exclusive communities.
 +
 +
But down on the ground, there is a growing determination to preserve the existing skyline.
 +
 +
After the closure of Kai Tak Airport in 1998, developers took advantage of a decade of relaxed height restrictions to raise the city's skyline before new height limits were imposed. By the time the government acted in 2007, a wall of skyscrapers had risen up.
 +
 +
There are now more than 650 buildings that are at least 100 metres tall, and 41 that are over 200 metres tall.
 +
 +
Dubbed the "vertical Wall Street" due to its overwhelming number of banking tenants, the International Commerce Centre (ICC) on the reclaimed land of West Kowloon is the tallest structure in the city - 490 metres above sea level and 118 storeys high.
 +
 +
Occupying the 2,500,000 sq ft of office space are prominent international banking giants and hedge funds, such as Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse. Even the smallest office is 3,000 sq ft,[http://drawsky.ltes.cy.edu.tw/drawskywiki/index.php/%E4%BD%BF%E7%94%A8%E8%80%85:Mguzxawkfp#Largesse_flows_as_Abbott_shows_bedside_manner Largesse flows as Abbott shows bedside manner], while the biggest - home to investment bank Morgan Stanley's Asia-Pacific headquarters - takes up 600,000 sq ft over 16 storeys.
 +
 +
(Click on the picture below to launch infographic)
 +
 +
 +
 +
The ICC and the 415 metre high Two International Financial Centre (Two IFC) across the harbour - both owned by developer Sun Hung Kai Properties - are the tallest skyscrapers in the city.
 +
 +
Two IFC, in the Central business district, was built in 2003. The top 14 floors house the operations centre of one of Asia's most powerful central banks, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, which sparked controversy back in 2001 when it bought the offices for HK$4 billion. The money came from the massive reserves in its Exchange Fund, which had assets of nearly HK$2.8 trillion at the end of last year.
 +
 +
Two IFC is also home to property giant Henderson Land Development, owned by Lee Shau-kee,[http://4vs.stross.cz/index.php/U%C5%BEivatel:Mruokpjxyr#PDP_crisis-_Who_will_be_the_fall_guy-_Tukur.2C_Jang.2C_Amaechi- PDP crisis- Who will be the fall guy- Tukur, Jang, Amaechi-], the third-richest man in Hong Kong and ranked 29th on the Forbes World's Billionaires list.
 +
 +
Other prominent tenants include the French bank BNP Paribas, British financial services company Standard Chartered, the MTR Corporation, and Japanese multinational the Nomura Group.
 +
 +
Rents at Two IFC are HK$120 to HK$130 per sq ft, according to Sun Hung Kai Properties, and HK$70 to HK$80 a sq ft at ICC.
 +
 +
But these big contributors to gross domestic product aren't necessarily welcomed by locals.
 +
 +
There are complaints the skyscrapers have blocked views, as well as the flow of air, and have created temperature hot spots.
 +
 +
When the government started reviewing outline zoning plans of various districts in 2007, its new building height restrictions were aimed at creating steps of rooftop levels to preserve views of the hills, skyline and water. "The change came too late," said Roy Tam Hoi-pong of conservation group Green Sense.
 +
 +
One structure approved before new height restrictions came into force on the Kowloon peninsula is a 63-storey complex of offices, shops and a hotel being built by New World Development.
 +
 +
"The view of Lion Rock behind Tsim Sha Tsui will be blocked in future from Wan Chai," Tam said.
 +
 +
The development will stand "awkwardly" in the middle of Tsim Sha Tsui, surrounded by shorter buildings, the campaigner added.
 +
 +
Meanwhile, The Wharf (Holdings) has in its possession approval for a plan to redevelop part of its Harbour City mall into a 96-storey tower - some 386.7 metres tall, just 100 metres shorter than the ICC next door. The approval dates back to 1999.
 +
 +
Even when the new height curbs apply, developers are still able to damage the cityscape, former Town Planning Board member Bernard Lim Wan-fung said. "For city planning, height is not the only consideration; a three-dimensional approach is needed when examining plans," Lim said.
 +
 +
He and Tam both expressed worries over a new trend for short but "fat" designs. Tam said his concerns stemmed from Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying's announcement in the policy address that the government would look into ways to increase plot ratios to provide more flats.
 +
 +
"Such an increase must be dealt with cautiously," Tam said. "Urban land intensity is already very high."
 +
 +
But,[http://wiki.sulon.fr/index.php/Utilisateur:Msqpexmnsl#Blazers_G_Mo_Williams_Gets_No._25_From_Earl_Watson.2C_Won.27t_We Blazers G Mo Williams Gets No. 25 From Earl Watson, Won't We], ultimately,[http://www.polysom.com.br/polypedia/index.php?title=Usu%C3%A1rio:Mofshyfeth#Being_the_NBA_Commissioner_for_a_Day_and_how_to_improve_the Being the NBA Commissioner for a Day and how to improve the], tall is all for developers.
 +
 +
Tony Tang Wai-man, architect and project manager with Sun Hung Kai Properties, said developing upwards was an inevitable trend and a testament to the city's growth.
 +
 +
"Hong Kong has always been moving forward. Every 10 years we reach some kind of benchmark - which is why we need development,[http://wiki.scytheswath.com/index.php?title=%D0%9F%D0%BE%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B1%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BB:Mlyaepbybx#Bradley_Manning_wants_to_live_as_a_woman_named_.27Chelsea.27_0 Bradley Manning wants to live as a woman named 'Chelsea' 0]," Tang said.
 +
 +
"Hongkongers care most about efficiency and convenience, so will be able to accept and understand these upward developments."
 +
 +
He said recent demands to conserve historical sites showed Hongkongers were also now caring more about their architectural heritage. "It is understandable Hongkongers want to protect some heritage," he said, "but there needs to be a balance between conservation and development as they go hand in hand."
 +
 +
Height has another value in Hong Kong, a spiritual one. Fung shui master Raymond Lo explains: "Staying high means when people look down, they see a lot of lower things - we call that water."
 +
 +
And water represented wealth, a reason why companies liked offices perched above the city, Lo said.
 +
 +
A race was going on in those upper echelons, he added - a desire to beat others to the highest spot and attract ever-more wealth, even if it was achieved at the expense of other people's fung shui.</html>

== Jumpstart your recording career for free with Audacity ==
 +
 +
<html>Music soothes the savage breast, but newcomers to the sonic scene may screech louder than a dubstep-tinged turntable session when they see the cost of professional audio-editing software. Fortunately for folks who don’t want to take out a second mortgage to fund their podcast, there’s , a powerful open-source audio editor that offers excellent basic production capabilities for a very reasonable price: free.
 +
Audacity isn’t as complicated as its full-priced  (digital audio workstation) brethren, but the program’s dizzying array of buttons and options will stymie most novice users. This handy-dandy beginner’s guide walks you through the basics of getting started with Audacity.
 +
Fussy file types
 +
You know a program is complex when a beginner’s guide has a section dedicated to getting files running. In Audacity’s case, the traditional File Open command works as you’d expect it to, but you may run into compatibility issues when you try to open a common file type such as AAC, M4A, or WMA. That’s because Audacity doesn’t include rights for some proprietary file formats. Out of the box, it supports playback of only six formats: AIFF, FLAC,[http://rvline.ru/index.php/%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Merzxffxwq#Santonio_Holmes_still_sidelined_with_foot_injury.2C_no_return Santonio Holmes still sidelined with foot injury, no return], MP3, OGG, WAV, and Audacity’s own AU.
 +
Audacity won’t play proprietary audio formats like WMA without the aid of third-party plug-ins.
 +
Fortunately, a third-party plug-in enables support for Dolby’s AC3, Microsoft’s WMA, and Apple’s AAC, M4A, and?M4R files. Head to the , and download and run most current version of the FFMpeg Binary available for your operating system. (You’ll have to restart Audacity afterward, if it’s open at the time.)
 +
While you’re mucking around on the LAME library website anyway, take time to download and run the latest version of the actual LAME?file as well (LAME_v3.99_3 at the time of publication.) It lets you export (read: create) audio in the MP3 format, which Audacity can’t do by default.
 +
Audacity doesn’t include the ability to rip audio from CDs, either, so you’ll have to rip the CD to your computer using a third-party program―Windows Media Player includes CD ripping functionality, for example―and then edit the digital files. Be sure to  to a supported file format.
 +
Making tracks
 +
When you load a track, its waveform graph appears in the middle of the screen―and Audacity activates (left to right) the Pause, Play, Stop, Skip to End, Skip to Start, and Record buttons on the upper-left side of the window. Pressing Play will start the track from its beginning by default. Clicking a specific time on the graph and then pressing Play will start playback from that part of the track, instead. In the Audacity Transcription toolbar, the slider to the right of the secondary green Play button controls playback speed. Moving the slider to the left slows the audio down,[http://fildelningsbloggen.webatu.com/index.php/Anv%C3%A4ndare:Mebjpmjitd#ASU_Football-_8-21_Practice_Notes ASU Football- 8-21 Practice Notes], while moving it to the right speeds the audio up to Alvin and the Chipmunks velocity.
 +
AudacityClick and drag your mouse across two points on the graph to isolate it for editing.
 +
Clicking and dragging the cursor between two points on the graph will cause Audacity to play only the selected section. Get comfortable with this, because highlighting particular sections of tracks plays a large role in editing and adding effects to audio files.
 +
Basic Editing 101
 +
Before you start tinkering with the nuts and bolts of an audio track, you’ll have to make sure it’s stopped and not playing. Not paused; completely stopped.
 +
The Edit menu (and the Editing toolbar) contains base-level options like cutting, copying and pasting. Click Trim to remove everything except the selected section of the track. Choose Silence to replace the selected portion with―you guessed it―silence. Use Split to remove the selected portion, replace it with silence, and drop the selected portion into a new track of its own, which appears below the first track. Select Duplicate to copy (rather than remove) a highlighted section of audio and then drop it (as with Split) into a new track of its own.
 +
The Effects menu is chock-full of options that augment or enhance the existing audio. You’ll have to play with them all to get a feel for the vast array of tools available, some of which have names that don’t describe their functions terribly well. Options such as Bass Boost, Echo, and Fade In are straightforward enough, but they have granular effects settings attached to them; Bass Boost, for example, lets you set specific frequency and decibel levels.
 +
Labels help!
 +
Be sure to back up your audio files before hacking them to bits in Audacity. If you’re performing complex edits in a project, the Label tool comes in handy, especially if your tinkering extends over multiple sessions. To add a Label―which is basically the Audacity equivalent of a note in the margin―to a specific point in the file,[http://mediawiki.oszk4936.ch/index.php/Benutzer:Mgsbuexxoh#Tulisa_festival_assault_claims-_N Tulisa festival assault claims- N], click that point in the waveform graph and then select Tracks Add Label at Selection. The label will appear beneath the graph, and you can type whatever description you want in it.
 +
Finding the right recording settings
 +
People frequently use Audacity to record podcasts or jam sessions, or to convert music from old cassette tapes and vinyl records into digital files. Recording audio from outside sources―such as a microphone, a guitar, a record player or a USB turntable―is fairly easy with Audacity, though fine-tuning the input sound may take some work.
 +
Begin by plugging your input device into your computer (unless you’re recording with a computer’s internal microphone, of course). Audacity recognizes all kinds of inputs, including USB audio, standard mic-in, and the beefier line-in. That last tidbit is the secret sauce to recording old analog music sources, by the way; just connect your cassette or record player to your computer with a line-out cable.
 +
The Device toolbar conceals powerful options for audio inputs.
 +
Next, you’ll want to fiddle with the options in the options in the Device toolbar, which holds several buttons that turn into drop-down menus when clicked. If you’re on a Windows PC, leave the Audio Host option as MME unless you have a very specific reason to change it. The Output Device button affects how you hear the audio playback.
 +
From the Input Device options, you’ll select the input you’re using, whether it be a USB turntable, a gaming headset, or a discrete microphone. If you connect your device when Audacity is already up and running, you may have to restart the program to make that device option appear. Internal microphones show up as ‘Integrated Microphone Array’. Finally, the Input Channels option lets you choose between stereo or mono recording.
 +
AudacityIf you see straight lines instead of bumpy waveforms like these after clicking the big red Record button, your audio input device isn’t picking up any sound.
 +
Before you start recording, click the microphone icon in the Audacity Meter toolbar―next to the bar that shows the sound output levels when you’re playing back a track―and make sound with your input device to confirm that the audio input is recording properly. If it is, the L/R bars above the microphone icon should start flickering in response to the sound. The Input Volume and Output Volume sliders in the Audacity Mixer toolbar let you fine-tune the volume of the sound that’s coming in and going out, respectively.
 +
When everything’s good to go, click the big red Record button to get the action started! The Stop and Pause buttons do exactly what you’d expect. If you accidentally click Stop when you meant to click Pause, hold down the Shift key and click Record again to continue recording at the end of the existing track.
 +
Saving your work
 +
Don’t let all that hard work go to waste. Select File Save Project to save the project in a file format that only Audacity to read. This approach is handy if you’re editing a complex project across several sessions or if you want to keep,[http://hedewikin.se/index.php?title=Anv%C3%A4ndare:Maaqaldtyu#Anthony_Weiner_Sexting_Partner_Sydney_Leathers_To_Star_In_Po Anthony Weiner Sexting Partner Sydney Leathers To Star In Po], say,[http://luchafemeninaymixta.com/wiki/index.php?title=Usuario:Mrfdmxzuxv#Stock_Market_Rebounds_after_3_Days_of_Consistent_Losses.2C_Art Stock Market Rebounds after 3 Days of Consistent Losses, Art], your Label Data.
 +
Click File Export to save your project in a format that other programs can read. Choose a location on your hard drive, give the track a name, and save it in whatever audio file type you want. You’ll need to install the LAME library plugin if you want to save your track as an MP3.
 +
On your way to the top
 +
Once you’ve mastered this process, you have everything you need to start recording, editing, and producing your own music, podcasts, and audio projects.
 +
Of course, the information in this article is but a drop in the ocean of Audacity’s functionality. We didn’t even consider mixing multitrack projects, the Solo button, sound-activated recording, or stereo panning options, for instance. If you find yourself straining to advance beyond the basic tips in this beginner’s guide, the Audacity team maintains top-notch , , and  resources that should shed light on deeper functions and features.</html>

"Mumia: Long Distance Revolutionary" is more of a tribute than a hard-hitting piece of American filmmaking, which is too bad, because the subject - the imprisonment of ex-Black Panther figure  - deserves a thorough,[http://beninpedia.com/index.php?title=Utilisateur:Mfqlmeztjs#LeBron_Dresses_Old LeBron Dresses Old], serious examination.
 +
But by incessantly preaching to the choir (i.e. the far left) and essentially ignoring Abu-Jamal's 1982 murder conviction (in the killing of a Philadelphia police officer),[http://hti-toolbox.nl/index.php?title=Gebruiker:Mtyufqulen#Contract_breach-_Magikal_Entertainment_to_sue_CocoIce Contract breach- Magikal Entertainment to sue CocoIce], this unfocused yet sometimes effective documentary unintentionally raises suspicions about its revolutionary star. Why not take the controversial murder case head-on,[http://www.innerpedia.org/he/index.php?title=%D7%9E%D7%A9%D7%AA%D7%9E%D7%A9:Mhdenyzivz#Daily_Beast_Under_Fire_Over_Chelsea_Manning_Prison_Sex_Op Daily Beast Under Fire Over Chelsea Manning Prison Sex Op], instead of letting it remain the elephant in the room?
 +
We are expected to assume, without any concrete evidence, that Abu-Jamal was placed on Death Row as a conspiracy to silence him. It may be true, but we need more than experts waxing poetic about Abu-Jamal's greatness - and lambasting the government's forays into Vietnam,[http://wiki.worldweb.com.br/pt-br/Usu%C3%A1rio:Muvmhffuuc#Atlanta_Hawks_Off Atlanta Hawks Off], Iraq, et al. - to make a decision.

== Bradley Manning says he wants to live as a woman ==
 +
 +
<html>FORT MEADE, Md. (AP) Bradley Manning plans to live as a woman named Chelsea and wants to begin hormone therapy as soon as possible,[http://prosol2.jp/wiki/index.php?title=%E5%88%A9%E7%94%A8%E8%80%85:Mvvbhxijsk#Buffalo_Bills_news.2C_8-17-_Vikings_coach_bemoans_blitzes.2C_gam Buffalo Bills news, 8-17- Vikings coach bemoans blitzes, gam], the soldier said Thursday, a day after being sentenced to 35 years in prison for sending classified material to WikiLeaks.
 +
 +
Manning announced the decision in a written statement provided to NBC s Today show, asking supporters to refer to him by his new name and the feminine pronoun. The statement was signed Chelsea E. Manning.
 +
 +
As I transition into this next phase of my life, I want everyone to know the real me. I am Chelsea Manning. I am a female. Given the way that I feel, and have felt since childhood, I want to begin hormone therapy as soon as possible, the statement read.
 +
 +
Manning s defense attorney David Coombs told Today in an interview that he is hoping officials at the military prison in Fort Leavenworth,[http://www.blocodecodigo.com.br/bc/index.php?title=Usu%C3%A1rio:Mkcwfyaann#To_Christian_Women_Under_40-_We.27re_Sorry To Christian Women Under 40- We're Sorry], Kan., will accommodate Manning s request for hormone therapy.
 +
 +
If Fort Leavenworth does not, then I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure they are forced to do so, Coombs said.
 +
 +
Coombs did not respond to phone and email messages from The Associated Press on Thursday.
 +
 +
Manning s struggle with gender identity disorder the sense of being a woman trapped in a man s body was key to the defense.
 +
 +
Attorneys had presented evidence of Manning s struggle with gender identity, including a photo of the soldier in a blond wig and lipstick sent to a therapist.
 +
 +
Meanwhile, the fight to free Manning has taken a new turn, with Coombs and supporters saying they will ask the Army for leniency and the White House for a pardon.
 +
 +
Even Manning s supporters have pivoted. During the sentencing hearing Wednesday, they wore T-shirts reading, truth,[http://wiki.musica-electronica.org/index.php?title=Usuario:Muxgqsctlu#Marissa_Mayer.E2.80.99s_pose_in_Vogue_causes_backlash Marissa Mayer’s pose in Vogue causes backlash], as they had for the entire court-martial. Hours later, they had changed into shirts saying, President Obama: Pardon Bradley Manning.
 +
 +
The time to end Brad s suffering is now, Coombs told a news conference after Manning s sentence was handed down. The time for our president to focus on protecting whistleblowers instead of punishing them is now.
 +
 +
The sentence was the stiffest punishment ever handed out in the U.S. for leaking information to the media. With good behavior and credit for the more than three years he has been held,[http://wiki.ifts18.edu.ar/index.php/Usuario:Miqbiwvicf#Saints_Defeat_Raiders_by_Final_Score_of_28 Saints Defeat Raiders by Final Score of 28], Manning could be out in as little as seven years, Coombs said. Still, the lawyer decried the government s pursuit of Manning for what the soldier said was only an effort to expose wrongdoing and prompt debate of government policies among the American public.
 +
 +
The sentencing fired up the long-running debate over whether Manning was a whistleblower or a traitor for giving more than 700,000 classified military and diplomatic documents, plus battlefield footage, to the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks. By volume alone, it was the biggest leak of classified material in U.S. history, bigger even than the Pentagon Papers a generation ago.
 +
 +
Manning was to return to the military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Coombs said, adding that he didn t know precisely when the soldier would leave Maryland. Coombs said he will file a request early next week that Obama pardon Manning or commute his sentence to time served.
 +
 +
Coombs read from a letter Manning will send to the president that read: I regret if my actions hurt anyone or harmed the United States. It was never my intent to hurt anyone.
 +
 +
Manning said the disclosure was done out of a love for my country and a sense of duty to others.
 +
 +
The White House said the request would be considered like any other application. However, a pardon seems unlikely. Manning s case was part of an unprecedented string of prosecutions brought by the U.S. government in a crackdown on security breaches. The Obama administration has charged seven people with leaking to the media; only three people were prosecuted under all previous presidents combined.
 +
 +
Coombs also will work in coming weeks on a separate process in which he can seek leniency from the local area commander, who under military law must review and could reduce Manning s convictions and sentence.
 +
 +
Manning, an Army intelligence analyst from Crescent, Okla., digitally copied and released Iraq and Afghanistan battlefield reports and State Department cables while working in 2010 in Iraq. Manning also leaked video of a 2007 Apache helicopter attack in Baghdad that mistakenly killed at least nine people,[http://wiki.studrespublika.com/%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Mrlqktgamp#Make_your_eyeliner_perfect Make your eyeliner perfect], including a Reuters photographer.
 +
 +
Manning said the motive was exposing the U.S. military s bloodlust and generate debate over the wars and U.S. policy. The government alleged Manning was a traitor who betrayed his oath as a soldier in order to gain notoriety.</html>

 +
 +
The  are no strangers to analytics, and are now going once step further with the help of OptimEye
 +
 +
The , , Houston Rockets and , plus four other teams that have chosen to keep their identities secret, have invested in these complex GPS tracking devices created by the Australian company Catapult Sports, the self-professed leader in “athlete analytics.”
 +
 +
The device is roughly the size of an oldfangled beeper and athletes wear it inside their jerseys on the upper back between the shoulder blades. The device records literally every movement the player makes,[http://freesoftware.infodocs.eu/index.php?title=Utilisateur:Mmpxywvwlg#Aaron_Hernandez_indicted-_Former_NFL_star_to_stand_trial_for Aaron Hernandez indicted- Former NFL star to stand trial for], accurately measuring exertions such as distance, velocity, changes of direction, acceleration, deceleration, jumps, heart rate and more.
 +
 +
These physiological and physical performance parameters are then uploaded to a computer to be analyzed, allowing coaches, trainers and the players to understand their individual workload levels. These are conclusions that once could only be subjective, say, by reading a player’s body language,[http://www.soeren-kaiser.de/mediawiki-1.19.0/index.php?title=Benutzer:Mvjmuzguhs#President_Obama_Talks_.27Fifty_Shades_of_Grey.27 President Obama Talks 'Fifty Shades of Grey'], to now being totally objective. By wearing the devices during practices, teams can monitor their?players’?physical output and closely?watch their load levels to ensure each player is not being overworked and ensuring ultimate preparedness to play in each game when performance counts.
 +
 +
Worn during workouts, the device can provide real-time data alerting coaches and trainers if a player’s exertion rate is too high, the moment when a player is most vulnerable to injury, allowing coaches and trainers to pull back.

Jump on the couch, that is.&nbsp;
 +
 +
The usually press-shy, paparazzi-loathing Kanye West opened up to his baby girl's grandmother Kris Jenner in a pre-taped, hour-long interview touted heavily in the finale of the Kardashian matron's Fox talk show. 36-year-old West reveals how he really feels about his girlfriend of two years, Kim Kardashian.
 +
 +
"I could have people saying, 'This is going to damage your credibility as an artist or as a designer, and I say,[http://www.marupedia.com/index.php?title=Usuario:Mglequqeyj#Sharapova_out_of_U.S._Open_with_shoulder_injury_1 Sharapova out of U.S. Open with shoulder injury 1], 'I don't care.

And I say, 'I'm being with this person because I love this person and she's worth it to me.' "
 +
 +
West - whose mother Donda West,[http://www.newfiepedia.com/index.php?title=User:Majqvbfkkh#Two_sides_of_the_same_brain Two sides of the same brain], died in 2007 from plastic surgery complications - opened up to Jenner regarding what his life was like after her death.

== 'The Conjuring' True Story- Family Member and Ghos ==
 +
 +
<html>In a recent  with USA Today, Perron and the real Lorraine Warren gave their input on the accuracy of the events depicted in the movie.<br>
 +
 +
In the interview, Perron said that there indeed were many spirits that resided in the house, including some vengeful ones like the spirit depicted in the film. Perron also said that the particular spirit was angry as it viewed her mother as competition when they moved into the house. &nbsp;<br>
 +
 +
When asked why her family didn't move out,[http://verkko-opisto.pkky.fi/wiki/index.php/K%C3%A4ytt%C3%A4j%C3%A4:Mbrgbkwmlk#The_New_York_Liberty_failed_to_find_an_antidote_for_rookie_T The New York Liberty failed to find an antidote for rookie T], Perron said that they were meant to endure their repeated supernatural experiences and share the events with the world.<br>
 +
 +
Both Perron and Warren reinforce the idea that the film is based on facts,[http://www.soeren-kaiser.de/mediawiki-1.19.0/index.php?title=Benutzer:Mvjmuzguhs#Louisiana_Bank_Standoff_Leaves_Two_Dead-_Gunman_and_One_Host Louisiana Bank Standoff Leaves Two Dead- Gunman and One Host], but they have conflicting views on the exorcism portrayed in the film.<br>
 +
 +
Warren explains that she and her husband made multiple trips to the home in 1974,[http://fabr0ny.bestpony.de/lop/index.php/Benutzer:Micdnnbqbs#Mystics_look_to_flip_the_script_against_Atlanta Mystics look to flip the script against Atlanta], but that they never conducted the exorcism shown in the movie.&nbsp;According to Perron, a secret exorcism took place in which her mother levitated in a chair and spoke in tongues. &nbsp;<br>
 +
 +
Neurologist Steven Novella also took part in the interview, providing his skepticism on whether the story is actually true.&nbsp;He mentions that the Warrens can tell a good story,[http://www.snitchseeker.com/wiki/index.php?title=User:Msnynadaut#Lynx_Crushing._Come_on_Pek._What_Happened_with_AK- Lynx Crushing. Come on Pek. What Happened with AK-], but that there is no legitimacy to their tale that is the basis for "The Conjuring."<br>
 +
 +
Whether the story of the Perrons and the Warrens is fully true or not, there's no arguing that the film has become a huge success.<br>
 +
 +
With a production budget of $20 million, the film has managed to gross $128 million nationwide since its release last month.&nbsp;Aside from being a box office smash, it has also been  by many critics for its acting and its scares.<br>

You can only wear approved clothing before games. Griffin didn t even play in the game, but he still got fined. He might as well have stayed home and he wouldn t have had to deal with losing $10k.

Alex Smith spoke along the same line after the game:

"There were a few times that we didn t bring in more than we had, the ball has got to come out and we have to execute outside. A few communication things up front we have to get ironed out."

Eric Fisher probably has the most to learn from this:

"Tonight was a big learning night for us. We missed on some plays; I missed on plays. Unfortunately, we couldn't get the win. There are things we need to improve on offense and we'll watch the film, see our mistakes and learn from them and come back next week and try to pull out the win."

******************************************************
 +
 +
So what do we make of this? Is Alex Smith terrible at handling the blitz in the past? I sat down (not literally) with Andrew Carroll to talk more about this. He writes:
 +
 +
This says Smith's PFR rating against the blitz last season was a +7.4:<br>
 +
 +
Since Smith did not play as many snaps as other quarterbacks in the league, that number cannot really be compared to other quarterbacks without turning it into a grade per snap type number. Given he faced only 90 snaps with a blitz,[http://xianguoyoupin.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=83451 ], a +7.4 is pretty good. For example, Rodgers graded out a +13.4, but was blitzed 178 snaps. Had Smith faced 180 snaps, his grade would have (theoretically) been +14.8 -- a bit better than Rodgers.
 +
 +
<br> I do know that Smith's passer rating was slightly worse than Brady's against the blitz (by like 2 points, 128 to 126), but Smith's Y/A was higher. At 8.6, that had to be one of the highest in the league last season. Rodger's was 8.0, Brady's 8.4
 +
This is a statistic comparing their performances at the end of the 2012 regular season:
 +
 +
 +
 +
As you can see, even in 2011 he was doing really well, as Harbaugh eliminated sight adjustments. By the time 2012 came around, Smith was doing even better.
 +
 +
<br> All the information says Smith has been one of the best in the league against the blitz over the past two seasons. It's especially interesting how much better he was at it than Kaepernick. They were operating in the same offense,[http://biblioteca.hogwartsrpg.com.br/index.php?title=Usu%C3%A1rio:Renepaley#DPD_approves_Horace_Mann_renovation_.2B_two DPD approves Horace Mann renovation + two], so those comparisons are intriguing. Perhaps it was Kaepernick's youth, as he did struggle to make adjustments at the line to run the entire offense at the "elite" level of efficiency that Smith was in 2012. Of course, Kaep made up for that discrepancy in other ways.
 +
When talking about the number of times the 49ers blitzed in the game, he writes:
 +
 +
What is interesting to me is the amount of times San Francisco blitzed this Friday. I don't know if they were doing the Chiefs a favor, or what, but the 49ers never blitz that much. And it seemed odd to send that many corner blitzes against a team that Harbaugh had to of known wasn't prepared for it and/or unwilling to give too much away in only a 2nd preseason game
 +
 +
...
 +
 +
The 49ers were ranked 27th in the league in plays sending 5-or-more pass rushers. San Francisco relied on a 4 man pass rush often last year. That's how good Justin Smith is.
 +
 +
Of course, much of the blitzing (but not all) came with the 2nd stringers out there,[http://xianguoyoupin.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=83451 ], many of who are quite good and just never given the chance.
 +
 +
******************************************************
 +
 +
So what made Smith so successful against the blitz San Fransico? Chris Brown from Smart Football :
 +
 +
Harbaugh has also changed the entire theory behind how Smith and his offense approach the blitz, and this is where Smith's greatest improvement has come. That's because Harbaugh eliminated "sight adjustments" from the . Indeed, this change has been so successful that, according to , Smith's completion percentage, quarterback rating, average yards per attempt, and touchdown-to-interception ratio against blitzes have all been much better than Smith's historical averages, but also better than his performance on all other downs.
 +
 +
A "sight adjustment" by a receiver refers to the concept that, if a defense blitzes, the quarterback and receiver must both on the fly and after the snap recognize it and adjust routes accordingly. For example, if the receiver's original assignment was to run, say, 12 yards upfield before breaking outside, when he saw a blitz he might instead run five yards upfield and then break inside on a quick slant, presumably away from a man-to-man defender or to a spot left open by the blitzers. The theory behind this is sound: You simply must have answers against the blitz, and you need receivers to break off their routes to give the quarterback someplace to quickly pass the ball. If they don't blitz, however, you want to throw downfield (or so you think). Again, this is all great in theory.
 +
 +
Here's the problem: Players have to make sight adjustments after the snap, in the cognitive mist of a few seconds of action. The quarterback is in a decent spot to read the defense's intentions to the extent that he can identify the likely blitzers and . Receivers, on the other hand, are aligned to the perimeter and can't see more than a few players in front of them. They also happen to be sprinting once the ball is put in play. This is not to say that sight adjustments can't work,[http://fastmoney.stock-swing-trading.com/blogs/viewstory/488043 The Crew is a Racing RPG for the Open Road], but they're certainly difficult to execute, and when they go wrong terrible things happen: Receivers run hot routes they shouldn't, or don't run them when they should; passes go sailing to empty patches of green; interceptions are frequent.
 +
 +
...
 +
 +
So the 49ers ditched sight adjustments. But they still need an answer for the blitz, right? Harbaugh has one. If you want your team to throw the ball downfield, you must keep extra players (two running backs, a running back and a tight end, etc.) in  to buy time for your receivers to get open. Coaches resist this because defenses can force unfavorable situations, like when your running back must block a blitzing defender while three linemen block no one on the other side of the field. But these are necessary trade-offs; the advantage to the offense should be that the three or so receivers who do release in the route should have time to beat the coverage. And, if the defense rushes only four, then the running backs or tight ends can leak into passing routes a technique known as the . Remember, this doesn't mean the defense cannot still blitz more than the offense can block they always can but by keeping extra blockers, teams protect their quarterbacks from the inside to the outside. They force the extra rushers to come from the outside and give receivers time to get open.
 +
 +
But what if you aren't going to block with seven or eight people? The quarterback still needs an anti-blitz option or two, and these are known as "hot" routes. The difference between Harbaugh's "hot routes" and the sight adjustment is that he builds them into the receivers' regular routes. In short, every play has at least one hot route a quick out, shallow cross, or slant so if Alex Smith sees a blitz, no complex ballet of synchronized adjustments is necessary; he just looks for a different receiver. Instead of reading deep to medium to short on a passing play that was not blitzed, he might look deep to hot, or even hot to hot (as shown in the video above), when facing a blitz. There is a risk that the built-in hot routes won't necessarily attack the right area for a given blitz and its attendant coverage, but that was an equal risk with sight adjustments. At least with the built-in ones,[http://wiki.school57.ru/index.php/%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Qirmqnrzug#Silver_Stars_Chill_Mercury_on_Historic_Court Silver Stars Chill Mercury on Historic Court], there is no added risk that someone would simply screw up an adjustment.
 +
 +
This may seem like a small tweak, and maybe even a step backward, but I assure you it is not. As defenses get more complex, the answer isn't always to get more complex on offense; sometimes, it's the opposite. By making the game easier, Harbaugh has turned Smith into one of the league leaders in interceptions per pass attempt.
 +
Hope you made it through that. If you did, you just read some very good information about Smith and how was able to handle the blitz . This is an area of concern for me and an area for you and I to watch. Will this hot read concept be in the play book be incorporated into Andy Reid's offense? It certainly was not on display. There was no compensation in terms of WR play as you can see above and there was little to no game planning for it when it started to get out of hand. Yes, it is pre-season and Andy may very well wanted to test this offensive line; however, there is only so much an offensive line can contain when the pressure is coming from everywhere, including the corner blitz. There needs to be intense practice this week and beyond on handling the blitz and hot reads.
 +
 +
******************************************************
 +
 +
When looking at this situation after a pre-season game, there are a few ways to look at it:
 +
 +
1) The Chiefs should have been better in this area. Disappointing that they weren't. Sign of things to come.
 +
 +
2) The Chiefs lack that talent on the offensive line to play better. Over-rated prospects and players. Alex Smith is too indecisive as well.
 +
 +
3) These are areas the 49ers exposed for the Chiefs. Allow to be corrected with a week or more of practice with no penalty. Would have been exposed in the regular season, when it counts otherwise.
 +
 +
Personally, I take the 3rd. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. There were no major injuries this game (thank God Alex was not). The Niners threw every blitz you can think of in this game: stunts, corner blitzes, safety blitzes, linebacker blitzes. We got destroyed by all of them. Had we played the  or the , it would be less likely we'd be tested as thoroughly. The Chiefs chose a tough pre-season schedule (yes, teams get to pick their pre-season opponents) for a reason. Andy Reid rightly chose to play the starters through intense blitzing to test them. We got these areas exposed unlike other teams that sit their starters. Andy chose to play a banged up Eric Fisher to continue to get this experience now rather than later.
 +
 +
Don't take it the wrong way either. Eric Fisher, along with other members of our offesnive line, has displayed some nice skills too. Check out this great block he did to help covert a key 4th down in the game.
 +
 +
 +
 +
They say youth on the offensive line is both a blessing and curse. Well, we have the  and a new QB who is behind it. A plethora of different receivers who have no chemistry with hot reads or timing with Alex Smith-- who was playing side by side a rookie RB with little experience pass blocking. The only direction to go from here is up. Thank you Jim Harbaugh and the 49ers for giving us everything you got and showing us how we can get even better. We get real film to improve on and will get another blitz heavy defense in Pittsburgh next week to prove ourselves.

<html>Smith had broken ribs, shoulder and pelvis bones, and was in a coma. After waking up, it was apparent that physical and mentally, Smith was never going to be the same.
 +
 +
“I was shipped to Minneapolis to do traumatic brain injury recovery for about six months, and after that I came back to Kansas and continued (cognitive, speech, physical and occupational) therapy,” Smith said.
 +
 +
Smith’s accident caused a number of changes to his mind. He has to wear glasses with a prism because the damage to his brain causes him to see double. He had trouble controlling his movements,[http://geigernordwand.de/wiki/index.php/Benutzer:Mqddwgluhw#Drew_Sharp-_Bottom_half_of_Detroit_Tigers.27_order_out_of_orde Drew Sharp- Bottom half of Detroit Tigers' order out of orde], especially on his right side. His fine motor skills had to be completely relearned.
 +
 +
A former pilot and captain in the U.S. Air Force, Smith said that before his injury, he considered himself to be mentally sharp and physically fit. Accepting the changes was extremely difficult, and for awhile Smith felt isolated and dealt with thoughts of suicide.
 +
 +
“Here I was, this pretty-able person before,[http://wiki2.agekuda.net/index.php/%E5%88%A9%E7%94%A8%E8%80%85:Llsxnuscium#Review-_Razer.27s_Kraken_7.1_headset_delivers_great_virtual_su Review- Razer's Kraken 7.1 headset delivers great virtual su], fairly strong intellectually and physically,” Smith said. “The change, the loss from the injury; my intellect was definitely impaired and physically, too.”
 +
 +
Dealing with disconnect
 +
 +
Natalie Donovan, a cognitive therapist at , said for those who suffer from a brain injury, feeling isolated and frustrated, the way Smith felt during his initial recovery, is common. That’s why Smith and Donovan, as well as a few other Lawrence residents, decided in January it was time to start a support group in Lawrence to help people connect and cope with brain injuries.
 +
 +
“It helps them in going through a new normal and figuring out their place after the injury,[http://ljkstudio.com/wiki/index.php/%EC%82%AC%EC%9A%A9%EC%9E%90:Ltyobzvduuc#Inside_Scoop_around_the_world Inside Scoop around the world],” Donovan said. “Too often families are in survival mode and it’s hard to reach out to people (and ask for help) when you’re just surviving.”
 +
 +
The Lawrence Brain Injury Support Group meets once a month and is meant for both the person who suffers from the injury and their caregivers. The way people got their injuries and the extent to which they're affected vary from person to person.
 +
 +
Some of the people who attend the support group have a brain injury from multiple concussions or from falling and hitting their heads. Others were in traumatic accidents; one man who attends was hit by a train.
 +
 +
Sharron Witters, one of the founders of the group, became a caregiver for her husband Lynn eight years ago. He had a heart attack and the lack of oxygen to his brain caused damage. She said after the injury, she had trouble networking and finding people who could relate to her situation or give her advice.
 +
 +
“I was so desperate for other people to talk to, and there was really no way for me to access other caregivers,” Witters said.
 +
 +
Witters and her husband began attending support groups in places like Kansas City or Paola, and Witters started to realize how therapeutic it was to share her frustrations and joys with others who were going through the same thing.
 +
 +
“We all have vastly different stories and yet it’s just wonderful to be able to have this open communication from all walks of life, all different stories, and we all share that common bond … there are so many similarities and it’s so fascinating,” Witters said.
 +
 +
At the Lawrence support group, there are sometimes speakers and typically the meetings all start with socializing and as one large group. About halfway through, the people with the injuries and the caregivers separate,[http://6210s.fossa.kr/index.php/%EC%82%AC%EC%9A%A9%EC%9E%90:Lwprcnqaxcz#Bar_Stars_2013-_It.27s_about_having_a_good_time Bar Stars 2013- It's about having a good time], forming their own groups to exchange advice and share information or situations.
 +
 +
Smith said that initially, one of the hardest parts of dealing with a brain injury is coming to terms with the future and accepting that life has changed, and the group is a way to help one another to do just that.
 +
 +
“There are ways to move forward,” Donovan said. “You just have to take that first step, and we can be that community for people with brain injuries.”
 +
 +
The group meets from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. the second Friday of every month at Lawrence Wesleyan Church, at 3705 Clinton Parkway.

== New road work begins in Petaluma, plus updates ==
 +
 +
<html>A major city road project begins this month that is likely to cause traffic delays through December along East Washington Street west of Highway 101.
 +
 +
Taking advantage of good weather and the low summer water table, Team Ghilotti has begun the early stages of ?replacing water mains between Edith Street and the Petaluma River. Work will be done 7 a.m.-7 p.m. weekdays,[http://bbs.787g.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1399903 Assange denies Snowden interrogated in Russia], excluding holidays, and will include lane closures and delays. Some tie-ins will be done at night when service shut-downs would affect busiensses dependent on water.
 +
 +
Crews will be replacing the 75-year-old,[http://bbs.77app.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=57789 Kyle Collinsworth getting back into playing shape  – U N I V E R S E], cast iron and steel pipes that range in diameter from 6 to 10 inches with new 18-inch pipe. The project also includes installing new water services and fire hydrants, tie-ins into existing water mains, pavement resurfacing and re-striping.
 +
 +
For more information about this project, call Petaluma s Department of Public Works and Utilities at 778-4546. Patricia Gothard is the project manager.
 +
 +
Traffic is already backed up on East Washington Street because the interchange at Highway 101 is being rebuilt as part of the Marin-Sonoma Narrows project, which is widening Highway 101 between Novato and Petaluma.
 +
 +
We also have answers to questions about why that project is taking so long and causing so many delays, but not much in the form of good news. Expect the on-ramp project to continue through mid-2014.
 +
 +
What s the on-ramp hold up?
 +
Question: The Northbound onramp at Washington Street is still not done after more than a year, although work on city streets all around it at the new Target center has been done for quite awhile. What��s the hold up? �C Robert
 +
 +
Question: Could you please explain why the 101?N. Bound Onramp @E. Washington seems to be going @ a snails pace? There has been no work for the past 2 weeks. �C Eddie
 +
 +
Answer: City projects are supervised by Petaluma engineers, while the on-ramp work is overseen by Caltrans. Spokesman Allyn Amask was able to tell us that no observable work took place at the on-ramp for several months due to a required settling period for an embankment and retaining wall.
 +
 +
When contractors could report that no movement was observed on the retaining wall, construction work resumed in mid-June. The intersection is scheduled to be done in mid-2014, but could be finished earlier if good weather days continue, Amask says.
 +
 +
Work completed so far includes utilities, the northbound on-ramp bridge and the northbound on-ramp embankment. Remaining work includes barrier rails,[http://dev.independent-magazine.org/classifieds/13/08/centerstage-dance-and-creative-arts-fall-registration CenterStage Dance and Creative Arts Fall Registrat], bridge railing,[http://dlmupt.com/read.php?tid=188916 Satellite imagery can be used to violate human rights, or to protect them_0], paving and opening of the new ?northbound U.S. 101 on-ramp, ?and realignment of the on- and off-ramps on the?south side of the East Washington Street.
 +
 +
Can traffic signals be improved?
 +
Question:?The traffic signal from East Washington Street onto Southbound Hwy 101 Freeway Entrance needs to be fixed. The timing system at this intersection is set for each lane, which is causing a big backup for cars trying to go northbound 101. This traffic signal has been broken for over a year now. Can you please get Caltrans to fix this signal? Yesterday it took me six minutes to get onto the freeway. ?Mark Johnson
 +
 +
Answer: Mark is right to say that signals on the overpass are overseen by Caltrans. Local agencies are doing what they can to ease the problem and have plans in place to get things running smoothly again once the 101 work is done.
 +
 +
Petaluma City Engineer Curtis Bates said the city has been working with Caltrans staff to figure out how to improve traffic flow while the interchange is under construction.
 +
 +
Once the interchange project is complete, traffic signal timing will be modified in this segment of East Washington,[http://www.xinluobo.com/ Weekly Weather- Dud of a hurricane season may be a], from McDowell to Ellis, to coordinate traffic timing during peak a.m., mid-day and p.m. commute hours, Bates said. Traffic flow and operations will improve once the project is complete and the timing has been modified.

== Will elephants be extinct by 2025- ==
 +
 +
<html>Is it time to say goodbye to the majestic elephant? The species has been , but its biggest enemy has undoubtedly been mankind: An elephant . And now, one the victims largely of poachers who sell their ivory, and the mostly wealthy customers and celebrities who buy it.
 +
 +
On World Elephant Day earlier this month, Kenya's Dr. Dame Daphne Sheldrick of the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust warned that "in 12 years' time there may not be any elephants left in Africa to celebrate. A world without elephants is hard to comprehend, but it is a real possibility. Against a submachine gun or poacher armed with a spear, they stand little chance." Indeed, 36,000 elephants were killed in Kenya last year, and 163 of Kenya's 35,000 elephants were killed by poachers just this June and July.
 +
 +
under the international Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species,[http://bbs.z888.net/ How Teslanaires made fortunes on Tesla Motors st], and elephant killing subsequently decreased. But organized bands have often skirted the ban, and Philip Mansbridge, CEO of Care for the Wild International,  contends that the situation is getting worse.
 +
 +
Elephant poaching across Africa has reached an unprecedented high and now looks set to wipe out our beloved elephants from the planet in as little as 20 years. Some reports are now suggesting that up to 40,000 elephants are being killed for their tusks each year in Africa alone... In minutes his tusks will be removed,[http://bbs.ch.gongchang.com/ A goat manure pile spontaneously combusting will r], usually by cutting most of the face off, often by chainsaw. An intelligent, social elephant with complex communication and family structures,[http://onsqq.com/bbs/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=361625&extra= Three shootings in three weeks- police reveal motives], that may have walked around its land in peace for the last 60-70 years, now dead and soon to be a trinket. This is not only unsustainable and cruel it is barbaric. []
 +
 +
Mansbridge and others largely blame China.  China "has historically been a significant destination for illicit trade in ivory and was identified as the single most important influence on the increasing ivory trade" for many years. A research project in March released by the Wildlife Conservation Society concluded that the number of elephants killed in Africa has skyrocketed. Part of the reason: government corruption, including officials who benefit from the ivory trade,
 +
 +
But the biggest contributor to the uptick in elephant killing is a huge spike in demand for ivory in China, where new wealth means more people can buy ivory... Chinese collectors covet ivory for figurines, chopsticks and trinkets. China is by no means the only market, but wildlife experts say China consumes half the supply. A growing population of Chinese workers in Africa makes the trade that much easier. As a result, the price of ivory has shot up tenfold over the past five to seven years. []
 +
 +
So Africa's ivory wars rage on:
 +
 +
Asian elephants have  in population from 160,[http://lei.thacker.com.br/index.php?title=Usu%C3%A1rio:Lgxrgclbtpg#Qantas_Leave.27s_Musician.27s_Cello_Badly_Damaged Qantas Leave's Musician's Cello Badly Damaged],000 in 1950 to 40,000 now and could also soon vanish from the face of the Earth. And it isn't only elephants that are in danger of being eradicated by poachers. The world's rhino population is also at risk. In South Africa, one rhino is killed every 11 minutes. Rhino horn powder is used in Chinese medicine and  than gold.  "A rhino-head heist spree is sweeping the world and destroying rhino populations, mostly because of some ridiculous myths" about the powder's potency. In Vietnam, it's believed it can cure a hangover and cancer. The African black rhino has already been declared extinct by the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List of Threatened species.
 +
 +
The problem of poachers came into sharp focus on Aug. 7, when Hong Kong officials seized an estimated $5 million in smuggled goods comprised of 1,120 ivory tusks, 13 rhino horns, and five leopard-skin pieces hidden in a container declared as Nigerian wood.
 +
 +
What can be done except tightening and enforcing local and national laws, cracking down on the markets that sell products based on the kills? At one South African private game farm, rhinos may soon be  A test flight was conducted May 26 at the Balule Game Reserve near Krueger National Park.
 +
 +
"We believe this is the first time that a UAV has been flown at night, with an infrared camera, where rhinos were identified from the air and a possible poaching event was successfully deterred," Snitch said. "As we say at the University of Maryland,[http://www.endora.cz/zakazan-post?do=/blog/add/ Biden- I am coming home], 'Fear the Turtle.'" []
 +
 +
Will all this be enough? Or have rhinos and elephants now passed the point where they'll be gone by the mid-21st century?</html>

== Coloniaux Valladolid fleurs avec des artisans , l'histoire ==
 +
 +
Il ya eu des fois où j'ai longeait mes contrats de location de voitures au Mexique en virant sur la route de terre occasionnelle, mais je n'avais jamais eu à se soucier de savoir s'il y avait une clause interdisant le transport de têtes de vache coupée. Jusqu'à maintenant. «Je ne suis même pas sûr que nous trouverons une", a déclaré Denis, comme il me l'a fait dans le sens de Mercado Municipal de Valladolid. «Ils ne leur ai tous les jours." A dirigé la Casa Hamaca bed-and-breakfast depuis plusieurs années sur Parque San Juan, une jolie petite place, quatre blocs de la plaza principale de Valladolid. Il ressemble à un touriste manières douces en provenance du Midwest, mais n'essayez pas d'obtenir entre lui et les coutumes mayas locales. Ses ouvriers venaient de terminer la construction de nouvelles toilettes publiques pour l'auberge, et une célébration était en ordre. Rien qu'un traditionnel Cabeza de vaca feraient pour les tacos requises. Bien que j'ai visité Valladolid cinq fois en autant d'années, je réussi à rater les deux Casa Hamaca et le mercado précédents voyages. Vous pourriez penser que le marché central de la ville et un grand-and-breakfast seraient sommet de l'ordre, mais je trouve toujours plus à faire que j'ai le temps. Ce n'est pas ce que j'attendais de mon premier voyage - Je cherchais juste un endroit pour rester près de Chichen Itza à l'époque. Ce que j'ai trouvé était une ville coloniale beau de taille très digeste avec une mine de bâtiments du 19ème siècle, une forte présence Maya et certains de l'histoire le plus important du Mexique. Passé colonial Valladolid a été l'un des premiers bastions espagnols pour les plus jeunes, qui ont envahi le Yucatan en 1540, finalement terminer le travail de son père a commencé 13 ans plus tôt. La Guerre des Castes éclaté ici en 1847 quand déserteurs Maya de l'armée mexicaine se sont révoltés, conduisant à la guerre la plus longue et la plus destructrice Mexique ait jamais vu. En 1910, les commerçants locaux, les propriétaires fonciers, les artisans et les chefs mayas ont signé le Plan de Dzelkoop, à partir d'une rébellion contre le gouvernement fantoche du dictateur militaire dans le Yucatan. Ce début de soulèvement est considéré comme La Chispa, ou «l'étincelle» qui a enflammé la Révolution mexicaine. Les martyrs de La Chispa sont enterrés dans le joli Parque Las héros de Valladolid à l'endroit où ils ont été exécutés par un peloton d'exécution. Principale attraction touristique de Valladolid jusqu'à ces dernières années était à proximité Dzitnup, l'un des cenotes les plus photographiés au Yucatan - gouffres d'eau douce qui s'ouvrent sur les cours d'eau souterrains qui parcourent en dessous de la surface du plateau de calcaire plat qui forme la péninsule du Yucatan. Cenote Dzitnup est belle, avec ses eaux d'un bleu profond vitreux dans une grotte, mais j'ai trouvé que c'était humide, exigu et encombré. J'étais plus désireux de quitter le pays que j'avais été d'entrer. Après cette expérience, j'ai failli ne pas visiter Cenote Zaci, en plein milieu de la ville. Une fois que je l'ai fait, cependant, je suis revenue jour après jour pour une pause de la chaleur et de l'agitation de la ville. Les stalactites,[http://wiki.islga.org/index.php/%E7%94%A8%E6%88%B7:Mukjnytkxp#Briser_l.27AFC_Ouest_Quarterbacks Briser l'AFC Ouest Quarterbacks], des vignes suspendues et un sanctuaire dédié à la Vierge de Guadalupe sculpté dans la roche pourraient avoir Indiana Jones atteignant pour son coup de fouet, mais le toit de la grotte est à moitié à ciel ouvert, mettant en lumière et de l'air sur le large, facilement navigable escalier de pierre descendant à l'eau. Je suis content de s'asseoir sur le bord et balancer mes pieds dans l'eau fraîche et claire, comme ce fut mon mari quand je lui ai apporté un voyage plus tard. Mais ma fille et son amie, qui m'a accompagné une couple d'années,[http://gzxwsz.s516.000pc.net/Review.asp?NewsID=1308 Audi R8 V10 Plus- Like an R8 but better], étaient dans l'eau avec les habitants avant d'arriver à la dernière étape. Artisanat et de l'histoire je passe habituellement une couple d'heures chaque après-midi farniente dans la place principale de Valladolid, un paradis d'arbres d'ombrage, chariots de nourriture et les fournisseurs qui incitent les enfants avec des bouquets de ballons flottants et les touristes avec l'artisanat local. La statue dans le centre de la fontaine s'écarte des monuments en bronze habituelles, représentant plutôt une métisse en couleur, une femme de la fusion des cultures maya et espagnole, en costume traditionnel Maya. Je ne suis pas beaucoup d'un client, mais fleurit Valladolid avec des artisans, et j'aime naviguer sur le carré, le Mercado de Artesanias un demi-pâté de maisons, de s'émerveiller devant ce que les gens peuvent créer avec des outils simples. Être dans le centre du pays d'élevage, c'est un bon endroit pour trouver bon marché, huaraches fabriqués localement, sacs, ceintures et autres articles en cuir. Certains des selles main-usinées j'ai vu inspirer fantasmes de déplacer à un endroit où les codes d'aménagement n'interdisent pas les chevaux en cours de banlieues. Robes brodées sont probablement artisanat principale de la ville, et les femmes mayas utilisés pour accrocher leurs marchandises le long d'un côté de la place, créant un mur de fleurs aux couleurs éclatantes. Depuis la place a été rénové en 2009 - en conservant sagement l'ombre des arbres luxuriants et de repeindre les bancs en fer forgé et confidenciales en forme de S, ou les sièges des amoureux, tandis que la réfection de tous les trottoirs - les dames ont traversé la rue pour le Bazar municipale. Les boutiques de luxe sur et près de la place aussi honorer l'artisanat et l'histoire de Valladolid. Yalat vend de l'art folklorique unique de tout le Mexique, mettant l'accent sur les produits du Yucatan; Coqui Coqui (le premier de l 'modèle argentin chaud entreprises mexicaines) capture senteurs du Yucatan dans les parfums en agave, vanille, noix de coco, de frangipanier, d'agrumes et de bois tropicaux; Dutzi Designs est un atelier coopératif de vente de toile de jute et de raphia sacs de toutes sortes, faits à la main par des hommes et des femmes mayas locales. J'ai trouvé la Calzada de los Frailes («Promenade des Frères»), aka Calle 41A, sur mon deuxième voyage. La rue pavée bordée de planteur coupe en diagonale à travers la grille traditionnelle du centre-ville au monastère franciscain du 16ème siècle de San Bernardino de Sienne. Lorsque je fais venir compagnons à Valladolid, je prends toujours au crépuscule, quand il est calme et vous êtes à pied vers le soleil couchant. Les derniers rayons de lumière donnent les couleurs pastel des maisons coloniales restaurées une lueur surnaturelle et mis le feu à des bougainvillées en cascade sur les murs. Élargir les horizons Déterminé à élargir mes horizons sur mon récent voyage, j'ai abandonné mon poste à quai habituel à l', sur la place, avec son ambiance début du 17ème siècle et merveilleux restaurant du Yucatan dans une cour douloureusement romantique. Casa Hamaca était tout aussi attachant tout en étant une expérience complètement différente. Maison coloniale de Denis Larsen dans une jungle-comme le jardin d'origine (où il propose des massages, du travail corporel et nettoyages chamaniques dans un Maya palapa traditionnelle) comprenant seulement huit grandes chambres, chacune avec son propre thème et tout le confort que vous pourriez demander, à moins que vous ' re accro à la télévision. A beaucoup voyagé natif du Dakota du Nord avec une longue histoire avec Valladolid et un étudiant sérieux de la culture Maya, Denis généreusement offert de me raccompagner à certains endroits que je n'avais pas encore vu, mais d'abord il m'a envoyé à la Casa de los Venados. La maison-musée récemment ouvert était assis discrètement moins d'un pâté de maisons de la place principale avant d'ouvrir sa collection privée d'art populaire mexicain au public, présentant des oeuvres que John et a amassé pendant des décennies de voyage. Chaque type d'art populaire que j'ai vu dans les musées est exposée dans leur maison 18.000 pieds carrés rénové, qui elle-même est une œuvre d'art. Miniatures, céramiques, peintures, meubles, Jour des squelettes morts et des arbres de vie sont disposés dans toute la maison, ce qui donne un nouveau sens au musée vivant terme. Denis m'a emmené à la distillerie Mayapan sur le bord nord de la ville, qui produit l'esprit d'agave bleu qui peuvent légalement être appelé Tequila seulement si elle est faite dans l'Etat de Jalisco et quelques autres régions. La meilleure partie est tournée des champs d'agaves et de la récolte de la distillerie, la cuisson, le broyage (par un cheval tirant une pierre de 1 tonne autour d'un molienda circulaire, ou broyeur), fermentation et distillation des installations. Mais le blanco, reposado et A? Ejo (âgés) de coups, ahem, Mayapan, sont assez bien aussi. Les tacos de tête de vache Nous sommes allés au mercado pour le déjeuner, après avoir consciencieusement Denis m'a averti que nous serions recherchons une tête de vache. Après avoir festoyé sur pibihuaches - poulet niché dans un rouleau de semoule de maïs avec une sauce appétissante mystérieux - il a eu quelques mots avec quelques-uns des bouchers, et le troisième est venu avec le prix. Nous trundled le plastique gainé de Cabeza de Vaca, sécurisé dans le giron de Denis, de retour à l'auberge. Ses hommes enveloppés de la tête dans des feuilles de bananier et a obtenu le sur un feu construit dans un trou dans le sol à temps pour terminer la cuisson avant mon départ. Je ne suis pas un grand mangeur de viande, mais il était clair que je dois manger un taco, entouré par des sourires enceintes. J'ai pris un morceau et j'ai commencé à mâcher, en essayant de contourner la graisse et le cartilage, et je me trouvai retourner leurs sourires. Non pas parce que j'ai aimé le taco, mais parce que ces gars tellement aimé leurs traditions et voulait que je sois une partie de celui-ci. La capacité de Valladolid pour le changement, tout en respectant la tradition, j'ai réalisé, c'est ce qui me fait revenir. Il a juste pris un taco inattendu pour faire le point.

<html>There have been times I've skirted my rental car agreements in Mexico by veering onto the occasional dirt road, but I'd never had to worry about whether there was a clause prohibiting the transport of severed cow's heads.
 +
 +
Until now.
 +
 +
"I'm not even sure we'll find one," Denis said, as he pointed me in the direction of Valladolid's Mercado Municipal. "They don't have them every day."
 +
 +
has run the Casa Hamaca bed-and-breakfast for several years on Parque San Juan, a pretty little square four blocks from Valladolid's main plaza. He looks like a mild-mannered tourist from the Midwest, but don't try to get between him and local Maya customs. His workers had just finished construction on new public bathrooms for the inn, and a celebration was in order.
 +
 +
Nothing but a traditional cabeza de vaca would do for the required tacos.
 +
 +
Though I've visited Valladolid five times in as many years, I'd somehow managed to miss both Casa Hamaca and the mercado on previous trips. You might think the town's central market and a great bed-and-breakfast would be top of the order, but I always find more to do than I have time for. That's not what I expected on my first trip - I was just looking for somewhere to stay close to Chichen Itza at the time. What I found was a handsome colonial city of an easily digestible size with a trove of 19th century buildings, a strong Maya presence and some of Mexico's most important history.
 +
 +
Colonial past
 +
Valladolid was one of the first Spanish strongholds for  the Younger, who invaded the Yucatan in 1540, eventually finishing the job his father started 13 years earlier. The War of the Castes erupted here in 1847 when Maya deserters from the Mexican army revolted, leading to the longest and most destructive war Mexico has ever seen.
 +
 +
In 1910, local merchants, landowners, artisans and Maya leaders signed the Dzelkoop Plan, starting a rebellion against military dictator 's puppet government in Yucatan. That early uprising is considered La Chispa, or "the Spark," that ignited the Mexican Revolution. The martyrs of La Chispa are buried in Valladolid's pretty Parque Las Heroes on the spot where they were executed by firing squad.
 +
 +
Valladolid's primary tourist attraction until recent years was nearby Dzitnup, one of the Yucatan's most-photographed cenotes - freshwater sinkholes that open to the underground rivers coursing below the surface of the flat limestone shelf that forms the Yucatan peninsula. Cenote Dzitnup is beautiful, with its glassy, deep-blue water in an underground cave, but I found it humid, cramped and crowded. I was more eager to leave than I had been to enter.
 +
 +
After that experience, I almost didn't visit Cenote Zaci, right in the middle of town. Once I did, though, I came back day after day for a break from the heat and city bustle. The stalactites, hanging vines and a shrine to the Virgin of Guadalupe carved into rock might have Indiana Jones reaching for his bullwhip, but the cave's roof is half open to the sky, shedding light and air on the wide,[http://www.lmecato.com/themes/wiki/index.php?title=User:Ljgpbmovnpl#Medium_needs_to_figure_out_what_it_wants_to_be_when_it_grows Medium needs to figure out what it wants to be when it grows], easily navigable stone stairway descending to the water. I'm content to sit on the edge and dangle my feet in the cool, clear water, as was my husband when I brought him on a later trip. But my daughter and her friend, who accompanied me a couple of years ago, were in the water with the locals before I reached the last step.
 +
 +
Crafts and history
 +
I usually spend a couple of hours each afternoon lazing in Valladolid's main plaza, a haven of shade trees, food carts and vendors who entice children with bouquets of floating balloons and tourists with local crafts. The statue in the center of the fountain departs from the usual bronze monuments, instead depicting a full-color mestiza, a woman of the fusion of the Maya and Spanish cultures, in traditional Maya dress.
 +
 +
I'm not much of a shopper, but Valladolid blooms with artisans, and I enjoy browsing the square, the Mercado de Artesanias half a block away, to marvel at what people can create with simple tools. Being in the center of cattle country, this is a great place to find inexpensive, locally made huaraches, bags, belts and other leather goods. Some of the hand-tooled saddles I've seen inspire fantasies of moving to a place where planning codes don't prohibit horses in suburban backyards.
 +
 +
Embroidered dresses are probably the town's main handicraft, and Maya women used to hang their wares along one side of the plaza, creating a wall of brilliantly colored flowers. Since the square was renovated in 2009 - wisely retaining the lush shade trees and repainting the wrought-iron benches and S-shaped confidenciales, or lovers' seats, while repaving all the walkways - the ladies have moved across the street to the Bazar Municipal.
 +
 +
Upscale shops on and near the square also honor Valladolid's crafts and history. Yalat sells unique folk art from throughout Mexico,[http://www.skygy.com/bbs/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=8209590 Tech women find opportunities in Girl Geek Dinners], emphasizing Yucatecan products; Coqui Coqui (the first of hot Argentine model 's Mexican ventures) captures scents of the Yucatan in perfumes made of agave, vanilla, coconut, plumeria, citrus and tropical woods; Dutzi Designs is a co-op workshop selling burlap and raffia bags of every description, handmade by local Maya men and women.
 +
 +
I found the Calzada de los Frailes ("Walkway of the Friars"), a.k.a. Calle 41A, on my second trip. The planter-lined cobblestone street cuts diagonally through the traditional grid from downtown to the 16th century Franciscan monastery of San Bernardino de Siena. When I bring companions to Valladolid, I always take them at dusk, when it's quiet and you're walking toward the setting sun. The last rays of light give the pastel colors of the restored colonial homes an otherworldly glow and set fire to bougainvillea cascading over the walls.
 +
 +
Expanding horizons
 +
Determined to expand my horizons on my recent trip, I gave up my usual berth at the  on the square, with its early 17th century ambiance and wonderful Yucatecan restaurant in an achingly romantic courtyard. Casa Hamaca was every bit as endearing while being a completely different experience.
 +
 +
Denis Larsen's colonial house in a jungle-like native garden (where he offers massage, body work and shamanic cleansings in a traditional Maya palapa) has just eight large rooms, each with its own theme and every comfort you could ask for, unless you're addicted to TV. A well-traveled North Dakota native with a long history with Valladolid and a serious student of Maya culture, Denis generously offered to escort me to some places I hadn't seen yet, but first he sent me to Casa de los Venados.
 +
 +
The recently opened house museum had been sitting inconspicuously less than a block from the main square before opening its private collection of Mexican folk art to the public, showcasing artwork that John and  amassed over decades of travel. Every type of folk art I've seen in museums is on display in their renovated 18,000-square-foot home, which itself is a work of art. Miniatures, ceramics, paintings, furniture, Day of the Dead skeletons and trees of life are arranged throughout the house, giving new meaning to the term living museum.
 +
 +
Denis took me to the Mayapan distillery on the north edge of town, which produces the blue agave spirit that can legally be called Tequila only if made in Jalisco state and a few other regions. The best part is touring the agave fields and the distillery's harvesting, cooking, crushing (by a horse pulling a 1-ton stone around a circular molienda, or grinder), fermenting and distilling facilities. But the blanco, reposado and a?ejo (aged) shots of, ahem, Mayapan, are pretty fine too.
 +
 +
Cow's head tacos
 +
We went to the mercado for lunch,[http://free-kids.ru/wiki/index.php/%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Lsxvkzfmspe#Hagel-_US_looking_at_intelligence_in_Syria_attack Hagel- US looking at intelligence in Syria attack], after Denis dutifully warned me we would be seeking a cow's head. After feasting on pibihuaches - chicken tucked into a cornmeal roll with a mysterious, mouth-watering sauce - he had a few words with some of the butchers, and the third one came up with the prize. We trundled the plastic-wrapped cabeza de vaca, secure in Denis' lap, back to the inn.
 +
 +
His men wrapped the head in banana leaves and got it onto a fire built in a hole in the ground in time to finish cooking before my departure. I'm not much of a meat-eater, but it was clear I'd have to eat a taco, surrounded by expectant smiles.
 +
 +
I took a bite and started chewing, trying to work around the fat and gristle, and found myself returning their smiles. Not because I liked the taco, but because these guys so loved their traditions and wanted me to be a part of it. Valladolid's capacity for change while adhering to tradition, I realized, is what keeps me coming back. It just took one unexpected taco to make the point.

Social Security is not free moneyI am a 72-year-old senior citizen whose only income is a small Social Security check. I have a hard time trying to meet expenses and pay for medications. I raised a family of seven children, three grandchildren. I also paid income tax and Social Security taxes.
 +
Seniors worked hard to make a living. The salary we received through our blood,[http://zgart.uueasy.com/read.php?tid=2730654 Apple iMessage, iCloud go down for up to 3 million users], sweat and tears provided for our families. Believe me Social Security is not free money; we earned it.

Fix license problemI knew when I wrote a letter about going to another county to get my driver s license that someone would start charging extra fees to do that ( Open more offices, July 14 Letters to the Editor). I also heard that the Kansas Department of Revenue s Division of Vehicles is planning to open an office in Derby.
 +
I think that if the small towns in other counties can get you in and out in a few minutes, someone should take a look at how they do it and try to replicate it in Wichita. Our office is larger and has more employees and still can t get the job done. Maybe the state should open more than one new office in another part of the county. Employees might need some additional training to learn to do the job more quickly.
 +
With the number of people in Sedgwick County, the state really needs to correct the problem or not allow the other counties to charge extra money.

Faulty questionI received an end-of-session newsletter from my representative in the Kansas House, Rep. Mark Hutton,[http://gandipedia.com/index.php/Benutzer:Jiwbpzmwiub#Lynx_Defeat_Fever_In_Finals_Rematch Lynx Defeat Fever In Finals Rematch], R-Wichita. I was delighted that he included a survey, until I read the questions.

After claiming that Kansas spends on average more that $12,000 per K-12 student,[http://linksdebatte.de/index.php/Benutzer:Mkurqjjtry#Arrests_made_in_weekend_shooting_in_Planeview Arrests made in weekend shooting in Planeview], he asked: What portion of spending should be spent in the classroom on instruction?
 +
The base state aid is $3,[http://www.gifcn.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2058918 Timberwolves Schedule- Thoughts and Notes],838 per pupil. What else is Hutton counting? Is he including federal dollars for special-needs students? Is he working with the numbers from Gov. Sam Brownback that have been debunked?
 +
In addition, he asked the average non-budget-reading public to sort out the amount to spend in the classroom. Don t we all want the entire education budget to be spent for student learning? Most of us have no idea how the costs are split among salaries, building maintenance and repair, utilities and classroom supplies (which teachers often have to buy themselves). He also seems to think that all the instruction is within the classroom only, disregarding the recess and physical ed equipment, the music and arts supplies,[http://youke.uueasy.com/read.php?tid=2536860 Western wildfires continue to burn], and library books and equipment.
 +
And does he really think that schools don t need a boss, as businesses do?

Debate rationallyClimate change is a critically important issue that should be debated in a rational manner.
 +
Each side of the controversy could select representatives to include major aspects of their side and present their arguments and counterarguments in a panel discussion calm, deliberate discussion instead of street protests and slick propaganda. An independent instant fact-check panel could examine each assertion and decide its merits based on actual, verifiable data. It seems a reasonable alternative to demagoguery.
 +
This could also be utilized in the abortion controversy. A panel including both sides could debate calmly, factually when the fetus acquires rights that supersede its mother s, and when the government should become involved.
 +
Neither of those two rational discussions will ever take place, of course, because the profit motive and religious sanctimony are involved, and those two implacable forces are not concerned with justice, morality or rational debate.

Let me translate this for you. &nbsp;Kevin O'Connor is the Father of the family. &nbsp;When the first children come in he has such lofty goals for them that he invariably places unrealistic expectations. &nbsp;These children fall short. &nbsp;They still become amazing people but Father O'Connor still can't get past what they could have been in his eyes. &nbsp;Then the youngest comes along. &nbsp;Father O'Connor is tired of the parenting gig. &nbsp;The youngest gets everything before the oldest children did. &nbsp;Gets to play video games longer. &nbsp;Hang out with friends past 10 PM. &nbsp;Gets to have a sleepover at Brad's house and doesn't even get told no. &nbsp;Gets to have Jolt Cola even though you're still not allowed. &nbsp;Sorry, what were we talking about again? &nbsp;Oh yeah, the youngest child getting everything like a spoiled brat. &nbsp;YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, GABE!
 +
 +
My point is Trey Burke is the youngest until he's replaced with Andrew Wiggins. &nbsp;Then he'll be the youngest. &nbsp;The parent of the family has the unenviable task of keeping things fair and even. &nbsp;But it's just impossible. &nbsp;I know it's REALLY easy to make fun of the Jazz front office for the sudden about face. &nbsp;REALLY EASY. &nbsp;But let's look at this from another perspective.

How will these young guys look at Trey Burke when he is able to crack a starting lineup and not be pulled at a moment's notice? &nbsp;I know everyone is excited but the older kids will, unrealistically, want things to have some sort of fairness. &nbsp;I pray the Core 4 will look at Trey Burke and be happy that he did not have to deal with Papa O'Connor's unrealistic minute expectations. &nbsp;Will that happen? &nbsp;No idea. &nbsp;I just hope they do.

Kevin O'Connor was asked if Tyrone Corbin will use more pick and roll this year. &nbsp;Without even batting an eyelash and with complete disregard to the irony of the comment that was about to exit his lips he said:

I think Ty played with a guy named Stockton that was pretty good at that.

So we re gonna go to this strength of players, but they ve gotta,[http://www.u77u.net/my/space.php?uid=18529&do=blog&id=1043473 Ellen Kroner To Chair WICT Touchstone Luncheon], we ve gotta assimilate them into the system a little bit,[http://www.communautecldem.com.php53-27.dfw1-2.websitetestlink.com/wiki/index.php/Utilisateur:Wjcczdmsrtih#FS1_steps_forward_with_Erin_Andrews.2C_college_football FS1 steps forward with Erin Andrews, college football], in what we re trying to do. You don t wanna just go pick and roll with him, and you know, leave Enes and Derrick standing somewhere where they re not effective. You want to put the ball in Gordon s hands more.
 +
 +
That s some of the things that COACH is gonna look at. You know, we go analytics to the nth degree, as far as how many times going right, running the pick and roll, with who is the "four" and who s the "three," and everything like that; line up the discussions.
 +
 +
So we ll do it, and we ll do it well, and Ty will do it like the good coach he is.

Bravo, O'Connor. &nbsp;Bravo.

Just to put another tally on who brought Karl Malone back into the equation for the Utah Jazz. &nbsp;Yet another story that credits Derrick Favors with asking to work with Mailman. &nbsp;I'm not sure how much you can trust the source though.

I heard that Karl s bashing him, man. I heard that it was really intense workouts. And you know, Fav kinda asked to work with Karl, I think he got everything he wanted and more from him.

So I think it was a good workout. I didn t get a chance to see it, but from everything that I ve heard,[http://marketing-craigslist-facebook-twitter-youtube-ebay.info/blogs/viewstory/2455360 America's Cup  Foiling upwind isn̵], it was good for Fav and you know, that s a guy you can definitely learn a lot from.

<html>Weevils, feng shui and plunging sales: more details of Tony Ferguson Weight Management's belly-flop have emerged (see CBD,[http://bbs.xzhibo.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=45287 ], Wednesday).
 +
 +
CBD has been told the company, which sold weight-loss shakes, soups and meals through chemists, had to recall one product earlier this year because of potential weevil contamination.
 +
 +
It is said sales had slumped, from about $70 million in 2009 to about $20 million last financial year. And there are unconfirmed reports that expenses were big-boned, with the company lashing out on a feng shui consultant to rearrange the office.
 +
 +
The seven companies in the group are now in the hands of administrator Adam Farnsworth,[http://meritacademeinstitute.ph/home1/fortist1/public_html/meritacademeinstitute.ph/ubbylys.ru/count28.php?option=com_blog&view=addpost&Itemid=0 Exploring Opportunities in the Domestic Bond Marke], who declined to talk to CBD.

 +
In a statement, he said the group was continuing to trade, and its directors - Tony Ferguson, Barry Smorgon and John Tisdale - were considering cooking up a deed of company arrangement to regain control of the group. It's the attitude of Smorgon that will be crucial. Sources say he got his 49 per cent shareholding as part of a rescue deal in 2011 that saw him take equity in return for forgiving money owed because his company Jalco was the group's main supplier.

Unspookable?
 +
Clients of Nicholas Moore's Macquarie Group may soon have a new government agency overseeing their correspondence with the millionaires factory: the US National Security Agency.
 +
 +
CBD has heard that to try to slash costs Macquarie wants to ditch its email servers and move to the Gmail service provided by tax-dodging tech behemoth Google.
 +
 +
In addition to its habit of not paying much tax, Google has also been revealed as one of the main sources for the NSA's no-longer-secret data hoover Prism.
 +
 +
While no customer email has yet been committed to Google's porous servers, sources say that for about six weeks several senior executives have been experiencing the joys of Gmail in a test environment.
 +
 +
That means clients are not yet having their financial secrets pored over by spooks - unlike hacks at BusinessDay owner Fairfax Media,[http://www.snbike.net/ Five reasons why Leighton Baines to Manchester Uni], which moved to Gmail last year.

Rental handicap
 +
It had $2.5 million in the bank last time anyone counted, but that has not stopped listed cash box Lemarne Corporation being thrown out of its office on busy Punt Road after the rent wasn't paid. Lemarne shared its registered address with several companies associated with Ariel Silman,[http://bbs.xzhibo.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=45287 ], a Melbourne businessman who, with his father, owns 30 per cent of the company.
 +
 +
According to a notice plastered on the door by the landlord, a Silman company, Global Constructive Solutions, holds the lease but has not paid the rent since June 3. The locks were changed on Friday,[http://jucri.jyu.fi/wiki/rdi/index.php/K%C3%A4ytt%C3%A4j%C3%A4:Renepaley#Pau_Gasol_Named_Spokesman_For_Madrid.27s_2020_Olympic_Bid Pau Gasol Named Spokesman For Madrid's 2020 Olympic Bid], presenting yet another headache for new chairman Darren Olney-Fraser.
 +
 +
After a call from CBD on Wednesday, Olney-Fraser changed the company's registered address to his city office. Although he was appointed on August 13, he does not yet have his hands on the books and records of the company, which were last seen at the Punt Road office. ''These are the things I've been brought in as an independent chairman to fix and I'm fixing them one at a time,'' he said.
 +
 +
However, he said he had secured Lemarne's only asset, its cash pile.
 +

''I changed the bank account signatories the day I was appointed,'' he said.

== Ad of the Day- Heinz Beanz Crafts the Perfect Story of Broth ==
 +
 +
<html>In the U.S., Heinz Baked Beans are generally known as a retro food item and/or Mad Men plot device. But in the U.K., where they re sold as Heinz Beanz,[http://wiki.ge.gate.vn/index.php/Th%C3%A0nh_vi%C3%AAn:Wobdbsqcmqnd#Syria_Chemical_Weapons-_Obama_Calls_Deaths_of_1300_Victims_.26 Syria Chemical Weapons- Obama Calls Deaths of 1300 Victims &], they re still a popular pantry staple and childhood favorite (preferably served on a piece of toast).
 +
 +
The brand trades on that reputation as a beloved kids meal in this endearing new TV spot, Little Brother, from AMV BBDO and Blink director Benito Montorio. The ad is narrated by a boy named Tom,[http://www.pmqe.info/viewthread.php?tid=1998223&extra= Australians told to leave Syria now], who has a hard time dealing with his mischievous younger brother, Charlie.  As illustrated by a series of playful vignettes, Charlie s many shortcomings include playing hide-and-seek, bike riding and goalkeeping. (Apparently he couldn t catch a cold,[http://www.ym170.com/plus/view.php?aid=328664 Arkansas governor's race may spawn another North C], let alone a soccer ball.) But despite all that, Tom considers the exasperating Charlie his very best friend a love which he demonstrates by sharing his Heinz beans with him in hopes of growing him up a bit.
 +
 +
The brotherly love idea could have gotten a bit treacly,[http://forum.bj69.net/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=415363 Season Preview Question #7], but the spot avoids any overt sentimentality by lending a deadpan seriousness to Tom s role as weary mentor, and by framing the entire spot from the brothers perspective rather than that of a doting parent. Still, that doesn t mean the end result isn t completely charming; it s pretty hard not to crack a smile at Tom and Charlie s story, whether your childhood memories involved Heinz Beanz on toast or Heinz ketchup on a burger.

== Smith commits to working with ASADA to get to bottom of all ==
 +
 +
<html>It comes within 48 hours of Earl having met ASADA officials and providing an admission that may result in him being rubbed out of the game for life.
 +
 +
''As a result of the ongoing ASADA investigation,[http://www.33i.com.cn/home.php?mod=space&uid=50072 ], Sandor Earl has today been issued by the NRL with an infraction notice,'' Smith said. ''This follows an interview between the player and ASADA this week,[http://www.33i.com.cn/home.php?mod=space&uid=50072 ], in which admissions were made regarding the use and trafficking of peptide CJC-1295.
 +
 +

 +
''Sandor has accepted an immediate provisional suspension for breaches of the league anti-doping policy. Under the rules he can accept the penalty or elect to go to a hearing. The penalties are set by the World Anti-Doping Agency code.''
 +
 +
Earl has agreed to stand down from the Raiders and has 10 days to decide whether to take the matter to a tribunal or accept a ban.
 +
 +
''Today's development reinforces the position we have taken from the outset and highlights our resolve in dealing with what are serious issues,'' Smith said.
 +
 +
''We continue to work with ASADA to get to the bottom of all allegations. We will act on evidence when it is fully available. Everyone should be in no doubt that ASADA is continuing its investigations and that we will continue to work closely with them.
 +
 +
''I stress that we do not have evidence at this stage that would warrant any further action against any individual or club.''
 +
 +
NRL chief operating officer Jim Doyle said Earl faced the possibility of a life ban from the game.
 +
 +
''It's clearly stipulated in the rules,[http://nvkz.su/index.php/%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Mwgweingcy#Kevin_Durant.E2.80.99s_back_tattoo_has_a_misspelling_.28Updated.29 Kevin Durant’s back tattoo has a misspelling (Updated)],'' he said. ''From a use point of view it is two years and from a trafficking perspective it is four years to life. Obviously [the suspension] will be in line with the rules.''
 +
 +
There is a fear Cronulla, in the final stages of player interviews with ASADA, may be kicked out of the competition during the finals if they are found guilty of any wrongdoing. But Smith insists the NRL doesn't have information to act against the club.
 +
 +
''We'll deal with fact and,[http://www.zmhcl.com/ Haaretz.com News Widget Israel News Broadcast], when the facts are presented, we'll act accordingly,[http://bbs.qzx.gov.cn/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2421696 Vandenberg Launch- NRO Launch 65 U.S. Spy Satellite],'' Smith said. ''We have facts here and we have an admission [from Earl]. We're telling everyone as soon as possible. We've reacted very quickly and I've no admission or no evidence at this point in time to suggest that there's anything further we would be announcing in the near term.
 +
 +
''However, the investigation continues and hopefully this gives you a sense of the seriousness and why we followed such a process.''</html>

== 4 out of 5- Poverty in America ==
 +
 +
<html>Hopelessness about diminishing economic opportunities is particularly pronounced among whites. In the most recent AP-GfK poll, &nbsp;the highest percentage since 1987.<br>
 +
 +
Seventy-six percent of white adults will be economically insecure -- defined as a year or more of periodic joblessness,[http://pipedigital.com/outros/afswiki/index.php?title=User:Mloutjrgwk#Madden_25-_Almost_Too_Close_to_Reality_for_Cowboys Madden 25- Almost Too Close to Reality for Cowboys], reliance on government aid such as food stamps or income below 150 percent of the poverty line-by the time they turn 60, according to the data.<br>
 +
 +
<br> <br>
 +
 +
&nbsp;For the first time since 1975,[http://www.downcg.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=126340 ], the number of white single-mother households living in poverty with children surpassed or equaled black ones in the past decade,[http://uwocssa.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=397509 The Official Waiting For Next Year Podcast_3], spurred by job losses and faster rates of out-of-wedlock births among whites. White single-mother families in poverty stood at nearly 1.5 million in 2011, comparable to the number for blacks. Hispanic single-mother families in poverty trailed at 1.2 million.
 +
&nbsp;Since 2000, the poverty rate among working-class whites has grown faster than among working-class nonwhites, rising 3 percentage points to 11 percent as the recession took a bigger toll among lower-wage workers. Still, poverty among working-class nonwhites remains higher, at 23 percent.
 +
&nbsp;The share of children living in high-poverty neighborhoods -- those with poverty rates of 30 percent or more -- has increased to 1 in 10, putting them at higher risk of teenage pregnancy or dropping out of school. Non-Hispanic whites accounted for 17 percent of the child population in such neighborhoods,[http://www.wanleshop.com/plus/view.php?aid=105438 Rogers Man Sentenced in Shooting], compared with 13 percent in 2000, even though the overall proportion of white children in the U.S. has been declining.
 +
&nbsp;The share of black children in high-poverty neighborhoods dropped from 43 percent to 37 percent, while the share of Latino children went from 38 percent to 39 percent.
 +
&nbsp;Race disparities in health and education have narrowed generally since the 1960s. While residential segregation remains high, a typical black person now lives in a non-majority black neighborhood for the first time. Previous studies have shown that wealth is a greater predictor of standardized test scores than race; the test-score gap between rich and low-income students is now nearly double the gap between blacks and whites.

Updated 08/30/13, 11:02 a.m. ET:?North Korea has withdrawn its invitation to Amb. Robert King to travel to Pyongyang. King was scheduled to arrive in North Korea Friday to seek the release of American prisoner Kenneth Bae. In a statement to the AP, State Dept. spokesperson Marie Harf called the announcement surprising, and said the U.S. was disappointed by North Korea s decision. It is unclear whether or not the trip will be rescheduled.
 +
 +
Original story 08/29/13, 2:52 p.m. ET:
 +
 +
After nearly 10 months in a North Korean prison camp,[http://wp1175495.server-he.de/wikifreising/index.php/Benutzer:Renepaley#Cinnamon_Challenge_Emergency_Room_Visits_On_The_Rise.2C_Medica Cinnamon Challenge Emergency Room Visits On The Rise, Medica], Kenneth Bae could be set free. Bae,[http://www.tit-association.eu/~tit/wiki/index.php/Utilisateur:Mfiybwkkil#Saints_Post_game_Show_Live_10-30pm Saints Post game Show Live 10-30pm], an American Christian missionary, was detained last November after officials accused him of hostile acts against North Korea, and for encouraging citizens to overthrow the government. He was sentenced in April to 15 years of hard labor.
 +
 +
The  Wednesday that Amb. Robert King, the U.S. special envoy for North Korean human rights issues,[http://51555.net/discuz/ Americas Cup  Ruling on Oracle boat v], will fly to Pyongyang on Friday to make an appeal for Bae s release. This is the first public trip to North Korea by a U.S. official in more than two years.
 +
 +
The State Department said Tuesday in a brief statement that it was deeply concerned about Bae, who suffers from diabetes and other health problems. Bae was ?last month after he lost more than 50 pounds. He s considerably weaker,[http://www.tit-association.eu/~tit/wiki/index.php/Utilisateur:Renepaley#xoFOOD-_Five_Foods_You_Should_Never_Order_In_A_Restaurant xoFOOD- Five Foods You Should Never Order In A Restaurant], ?Bae s sister Terri Chung . There s more urgency than ever to bring him home.
 +
 +
Echoing his family s concerns, the White House  urging North Korea to release the 45-year-old Washington native. We remain deeply concerned about the health and welfare of Kenneth Bae We urge the government of North Korea to grant special clemency to Mr. Bae immediately and allow him to return home with Ambassador King.
 +
 +
The U.S. State Department has been monitoring Bae s detention closely since his sentencing in April, and have been calling for his release. On Wednesday, State Department deputy spokesperson Marie Harf  she was hopeful, but made clear that Bae s release was a separate issue from renewing a dialogue between the U.S. and North Korea. We have repeatedly said that separate and apart from any of the other issues we talk about with North Korea that Kenneth Bae needs to be released immediately, Harf said.
 +
 +
She added that the U.S. will continue to hold North Korea to its commitment of denuclearization��a deal signed in 2005 by the U.S., North Korea, South Korea, China, Japan, and Russia as part of the now-frozen six-party talks��but had no plans to view Bae s release as an olive branch.
 +
 +
The onus is on North Korea here, Harf said.
 +
 +
Bae is the sixth American detained in North Korea since 2009. High-profile visits from the U.S. to negotiate the release of prisoners have included former Presidents Bill Clinton in 2009 and Jimmy Carter in 2010. While North Korean officials have not committed to releasing Bae, the chances are favorable: Amb. King s  ended with him bringing home American Eddie Jun, who had been detained for unauthorized missionary work.

I didn t know it would be all over everything like this.'
 +
Indeed, the drama blew up after a Twitter user posted the photo on the micro-blogging site, tweeting it to Robin's wife, Paula Patton, 37, with the message: 'Look at the reflection girl.'

To make matters worse, it turns out the incident at the VMAs afterparty,[http://www.worldscrap.cn/ Lynx Defeat Fever In Finals Rematch_0], held at 1OAK in the trendy Meatpacking District, wasn't the first time the pair had met.

== Dance professor teaches to raise an ‘ebenezer’ a ==
 +
 +
<html>Curt Holman speaks about raising a personal ebenezer and remembering spiritual experiences. (Photo by Elliott Miller)
 +
 +
A BYU dance professor taught about the importance of raising a personal ebenezer and remembering spiritual experiences at Tuesday s Devotional.
 +
 +
Curt Holman, associate professor and associate chair in the BYU Department of Dance, began his address by explaining the term ebenezer, found in the hymn, Come Thou Fount. He explained that it?is a reference a story in 1 Samuel, when Samuel sets up a stone as a monument to the help God have given Samuel and his people.
 +
 +
In Hebrew,[http://wiki.sulon.fr/index.php/Utilisateur:Msqpexmnsl#Lowell_Cohn-_NFL_not_the_villian Lowell Cohn- NFL not the villian], the word Eben-ezer means stone of help, Holman explained. This Eben-ezer,[http://chesswiki.ch.funpic.de/index.php/Benutzer:Mphtfsrtar#Fire_in_Yosemite_offers_forest_management_lessons Fire in Yosemite offers forest management lessons], quite literally was a monument set to remember the great help God granted the one raising the stone.
 +
 +
Holman then suggested that people ought to create their own monuments to remember the blessings of God in their lives. These monuments should be built of remembered and treasured spiritual experiences.
 +
 +
Each experience that we have with the Spirit can be like placing a stone in our own personal monument reminding us of God s hand in our lives, he said.
 +
 +
Holman illustrated the importance of building these monuments of memory by recounting a story from his mission in Chile. He explained that one evening, while teaching a family, he had a profound spiritual experience and felt a testimony of what he was teaching more powerfully than he ever had in his life. Afterward,[http://amath.unist.ac.kr/wiki/index.php/%EC%82%AC%EC%9A%A9%EC%9E%90:Muvvwwboad#6_running_apps_for_people_who_don.27t_even_like_to_walk_0 6 running apps for people who don't even like to walk 0], he felt an added urgency to get home and write in his journal, where he recorded every detail he could remember.?He even concluded his journal entry with the plea to himself to re-read what he wrote if he ever found himself questioning his faith.
 +
 +
Holman said that this experience was a major stone in his monument and remembering that experience throughout his life had strengthened his testimony.
 +
 +
For those who think their personal monuments are small or even eroding, Holman offered two steps to help build their monuments stronger.
 +
 +
Holman s first suggestion was that people look to the past.
 +
 +
He explained that by reflecting on the past, people can gain a greater spiritual perspective and can more clearly see spiritual promptings in experiences that may have seemed insignificant at the time.
 +
 +
At some point you have felt the presence of God. Maybe it was a small prompting to make a particular decision or a simple witness that you felt when someone bore testimony, Holman said. By recognizing these experiences,[http://www.casadaculturadigital.com.br/santos/wiki/index.php?title=Usu%C3%A1rio:Mcvkzkddve#NW_Arkansas_today NW Arkansas today], you are building your own monument.
 +
 +
He added that if people don t reflect upon these moments, they risk forgetting that they ever happened.
 +
 +
Holman s second suggestion was for people to?actively seek opportunities or environments where they can feel the Spirit.
 +
 +
If my testimony is based on one singular spiritual experience that I had 30 years ago on my mission, then my testimony is at risk and my monument is in danger of eroding, Holman said.
 +
 +
As Holman finished his address, he echoed King Benjamin s warning in the Book of Mormon about the importance for people to remember their faith and testimonies.
 +
 +
The final words, Remember and perish not,[http://www.justicacolaborativa.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Usu%C3%A1rio:Myfcqacfur#Fur_real-_Colonel_Meow.27s_12 Fur real- Colonel Meow's 12], underscore the plea of prophets both modern and old that if we do not want to perish, we must remember, Holman said. On a personal level, this means that our memories of God s hands in our lives are not only monuments to God, but they are testaments that he loves us and is aware of each one of us and our personal needs.</html>

== Balancing a music career with a day job ==

<html>IF there was a music team that did it best it will be Canadian based R B artiste Chris Jackson and his wife Cindy. We have also seen others here in Nigeria like R B singer Darey and his wife who Darey says controls the money part. I laughed when he said that at his #LLAM concert last February, but music artists are very busy people outside the music. They have families like us and they also keep their day jobs in many cases. Meet Christopher and Cindy Jackson,[http://server.itisreggio.eu/mediawiki-1.20.3/index.php?title=Utente:Mtoxvtddan#STEVE_COHEN-_Doctors_should_clean_up_their_act_if_they_don.26.23 STEVE COHEN- Doctors should clean up their act if they don&#], the dynamic team at Chris Jackson Music in Canada.
 +
 +
Jackson is an award winning American R B artist who moved to Canada and settled with his Canadian wife Cindy,[http://wiki.patriciopdc.com/index.php?title=Usuario:Mmowrxyooi#Jester_King_hosts_first_Zwanze_tasting_in_Texas Jester King hosts first Zwanze tasting in Texas], then built a recording studio in his home where he puts out his songs and videos. Cindy is a songwriter and manages day to day affairs in the music arm of the household and of course the mom and wife part of the household. She also shoots a bulk of Chris’s music videos.
 +
 +
Chris also has a day job outside music meaning he goes to another profession daily. After work he catches up with production and recording while Cindy does a lot of writing the ballads as well as shooting music videos on the weekends. They are also the parents of Ciara Jackson the face of HipHossip.com and while Ciara released her own single on daddy’s label a few months ago (we featured that in the Tribune),[http://aide.paleostory.fr/index.php/Utilisateur:Mmppijkglw#Washington_Huskies_Football-_Keith_Price.27s_Success_Shou Washington Huskies Football- Keith Price's Success Shou], she is about to clock one and really start singing.
 +
 +
Balancing a music career alongside a regular job needs support from a spouse, a trusted friend or family member as today there are many upcoming artists who need the income from their day jobs to finance their music careers. In music you need a manager,[http://haxpedia.ru/wiki/%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Mcpxugivjt#Taraba_Assembly_Passes_Resolution_Empowering_Deputy_Governor Taraba Assembly Passes Resolution Empowering Deputy Governor], publicist, promoter and money saved up for music videos,[http://wiki.comunidadhuayra.org/Usuario:Mznfzqpeob#JERUSALEM-_Israel_says_it_holds_joint_missile_test_with_US JERUSALEM- Israel says it holds joint missile test with US], airplay and advertising among other things. Every musician needs a sponsor or an investor.
 +
 +
These costs are going down slowly because of the advent of social media, however musicians must be able to properly use social media other than to spam music websites, magazines and record labels. You must learn to communicate with your team and your fans. The Jacksons do that very well and they plan to start embarking on more concerts very soon. Their fan page is growing rapidly as Chris Jackson is well known for giving out free music downloads. Jackson is scheduled to perform tonight on a very busy Friday night at the Collaborators Mixtape release party in Ontario, Canada. He is such a delight to see on stage.
 +
 +
Chris still works his day job and designates most of his evenings and weekends to his music while Cindy is a stay at home mom caring for Ciara at the same time as planning video shoots and writing songs.

The hide-and-seek game has become so bad that wives no longer seem to fear their husbands getting involved in extra-marital affairs, and one is left to wonder what has gone wrong. Why do women seem to be uninterested in having sex regularly with their husbands, and yet some of these women succumb to adulterous temptation outside their home, with so much impunity these days?
 +
 +
In an attempt to solve the riddle of sexual immorality among some wives,[http://rvline.ru/index.php/%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Merzxffxwq#42_years_after_Vietnam_testimony.2C_Kerry_returns_to_Congress 42 years after Vietnam testimony, Kerry returns to Congress], I came to discover that those ‘strange’ men to whom wives, who deny their husbands sex, succumb so easily to must have a key they are using to achieve their purpose. In fact, it further beats my imagination because most of the men who do this are also married to wives of their own. My conclusion,[http://viggepedia.org/index.php?title=Anv%C3%A4ndare:Mqyiefhtvq#Consider_a_run_for_Senate Consider a run for Senate], therefore, is that whatever makes these wives open up to adulterous affairs should also make them open up to their husbands at home. That is, if the husbands can discover how to make sex easy for their wives, they will begin to enjoy great sex in the marriage. What then is the key that will make sex easy for the wives at home?
 +
 +
Based on my discoveries, the key is to focus on LOVE rather than on SEX in marriage. Because of the physiological mak- up of men, that makes it easy for them to want and be able to have sex anytime, the tendency to focus on sex in any relationship with the opposite sex is rather high. That is, once with a woman, especially their wives, the thought of sex is not far from their mind. Like someone put it, what other thing will a man be looking for in a woman other than sex, and sex, and sex.
 +
 +
This same thought is what is carried into marriage by most men. Thus, they want and demand sex from their wives as often as they are opportune. Unfortunately, the wives are not easily ready for sex because of their physiological make-up as well. Thus, there is always a bone of contention in the marriage, since the husband is eagerly ready for sex, while the wife is not readily available.
 +
 +
Readiness to meet her need for love<br>If the wife will, therefore, be readily available to have sex with her husband, he must be ready to meet her primary need of love. That is, he must focus on loving her as a key to having sex with her. If he misses this point, like most husbands do, she will not find it easy to have sex with him at all, not to talk of having great sex with him. This is the game adulterous men play on other men’s wives. They give them attention, speak sweet words to their ears, have body contact with them from time to time by way of hugging among others. All these are to tell the women “I love you.” And when a woman is convinced of a man’s love for her, it becomes easy for her to have sex with him.
 +
 +
What therefore should husbands do to make sex easy for their wives?<br>They should follow suit by showering their love on their wives. To do this, they should consider being affectionate without wanting sex. That is, be affectionate and attentive every day, and not only on the days you want sex from her. Like Dr. Emerson Eggerichs puts it in his book, Love and Respect, “It’s been said that sexual intimacy often begins at breakfast - or at any other time during the day. Hug her, hold her hand, tell her you love her; tell her how pretty she is. Be affectionate but not sexually aggressive. Touching her and kissing her only when you want sex is usually a turn-off for your wife.”
 +
 +
That is why she accuses you of paying attention to her only when you need sex. And when she feels that sex is the only thing that makes her important to you, it’s not unusual for her to feel used. Thus, she is not easily moved to have sex because, in her mind, you are just using her for your own pleasure.
 +
 +
Husbands, please stop making us feel that the only time you want to be intimate with us is when you want to have sex. That is, all your touching, listening ears, caring and private talks are towards getting your wife to have sex. This makes her feel she is good for nothing to you, except for sex. This is also reinforced by Dr Emerson Eggerichs, as follows, “Touching her and kissing her only when you want sex is usually a turn-off to your wife.”
 +
 +
To turn your wife on for sex, therefore, you need to connect with her at every opportunity during the day. This is because she builds up to sex much slower than you do. So, during the day, keep your advances in the affectionate zone: hold her hand, hug her, spend time alone with her talking and laughing together, run errands for her, stay in the kitchen with her among others loving acts.
 +
 +
All these are to set the right tone; it becomes easy and more natural for her to become sexually intimate with you. This is a simple secret that husbands need to know so that all the cry about lack of sexual attention from their wives will be a thing of the past. You can then expect a great sex experience with your wives, not once a while, but most of the time.</html>

== 10 things that turn men off 0 ==
 +
 +
<html>It’s not easy for a man to tell his wife or girlfriend what she does to irritate him. In my experience, confessions like that tend to lodge themselves deep inside a woman’s subconscious, never to be forgotten…ever. More than that, women tend to focus so much on their so-called “faults” that it can feel excessive to give you more reasons to be critical of yourselves. But in the name of healthy communication, sometimes it’s important for couples to air their grievances. So let’s take a different approach: Don’t think of this list as the 10 things we dislike about you. Think of it more as the 10 things that will bring us closer together…by you not doing them.<br><br>1. Second-guessing your instincts<br>You know that colleague who you think is deceitful? Or that girlfriend of yours who can be condescending? Well, let us save you some time: Your colleague is deceitful, and your friend is condescending. Plain and simple. Sometimes face value is, well, valuable. While it’s true that men can have knee-jerk reactions, women tend to overdo it when it comes to giving people the benefit of the doubt. Yes, you could chalk your coworker’s attitude up to his insecurities or blame your friend’s tone on her manipulative mother, but instead, why not look out for your own feelings first? That’s what men are doing when we offer a simple opinion on your dilemmas—we’re trying to take your side. It would be nice if you did the same.<br><br>2. Assuming we know what you want us to do<br>One of the reasons men can be squeamish about women’s emotions is because they often belie the exact opposite feeling. For example: If you have plans for the day, please don’t tell us to enjoy ourselves at home if you really want us to address items one through five on the honey-do list. It’s more than a little irksome to have you return, hug us, look around the house, and then say with that pinched smile, “Did you have a nice, relaxing day?”<br><br>3. Smothering instead of mothering<br>Women can confuse these two impulses––knowing the difference is crucial. One elicits gratitude in men; the other, orneriness. Like when we’re sick, mothering is a source of comfort that understands our flu is a temporary flaw in an otherwise heroic, virile and even studly constitution. Smothering, on the other hand, calls all of that into question. Smothering says we’re 5-year-old boys who have no idea of how to take care of ourselves. And that bugs us more than the bug in us. One way to differentiate between the two: Ask yourself if you’re making a gesture to ease our suffering or to show how much we should appreciate you. The first is genuine; the second is manipulative.<br><br>4. Having a superiority complex<br>We’re not sure if you’re aware of this, but there appears to be an increasing trend among women to equate being male with being dumb. For instance, when we’re at a dinner party and you recount a story about us that ends with this punch line: “Well, you know [insert name of your dim husband here], he was just being a typical man.” Sure, every guy has his off moments––even blunders worth lampooning––but making us the hapless straight man in an ongoing comedy routine is disrespectful. And we think you’d hate it if we did the same to you.<br><br>5,[http://publications.karelia.ru/index.php/%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Meizlqayfm#Wanted-_A_Martin_Luther_King_Moment_in_Nigeria.2C_Articles Wanted- A Martin Luther King Moment in Nigeria, Articles]. Over-sharing<br>We’re aware of the stereotype that says men never open up about their feelings. Thing is, sometimes opening up to you also means opening up to your sister, your mother or even your college roommate. Men value loyalty and confidentiality. Keeping the things we share between us––and only us––builds trust and will encourage even more communication. A win-win situation for everyone.<br><br>6,[http://bfg-suedbayern.aufserver4.hieriminternet.de/wiki/index.php?title=Benutzer:Mozjsjpvbw#9-6_Arizona_Cardinals_news-_Mathieu_punt_returns.2C_Fitz_ready 9-6 Arizona Cardinals news- Mathieu punt returns, Fitz ready]. Not really listening to us<br>Along those lines, many women believe that their interior lives deserve a singular spotlight and an endless theatrical run. And the fact that many men go along with this shouldn’t be construed as a license to spill. Our emotional lives are often as turbulent as yours, but whenever we talk about the tough stuff, we measure the changes in your face or shifts in your intonation to gauge when you start to judge us.<br>It may be cowardly, but men will stop talking rather than risk a woman’s passive or outright wrath. So, by taking a backseat and letting your guy unburden himself—even if the subject is controversial or delivered in halting fashion—you create space for a more candid, and therefore truer, intimacy.<br><br>7. RSVPing for us<br>Any man can relate to this moment: You’re on your way home from work, imagining the weekend ahead…the relaxation, the freedom. Then you arrive home, only to learn that you have plans. Magical plans,[http://www.tybjerg.info/index.php?title=Bruger:Mxyuvcvvpo#MIMI_ORJIEKWE-_I_CAN_NEVER_ACT_NUDE.2C_Articles_0 MIMI ORJIEKWE- I CAN NEVER ACT NUDE, Articles 0], it seems, since they appeared out of nowhere. OK, not nowhere exactly—they were conceived with the stroke of the wifely wand that says “You’re in too, bub!” Here’s the deal: If you’re determined to make plans that include your husband or boyfriend, ask him first. And be prepared to hear that he might be too tired or would prefer to have a quiet weekend. Honouring his preferences from time to time will not go unnoticed.<br><br>8. Fast-forwarding to the future<br>Women enjoy imagining the future. The story as it will be as opposed to the story that is right now. That can be a wonderful, romantic quality. It can also be an irritating, annoying quality.<br>Having dinner together this Valentine’s Day is beautiful enough without scripting the Valentine’s Day we’ll have when we’re both 75. Enjoying the new sofa that we just bought is great without having to obsess over all of the other things that we “need” to make the living room look complete. Living in the moment provides its own vitality, which is more than enough to sustain our future together.<br><br>9. Overlooking our quiet acts of thoughtfulness<br>We know it’s disappointing that we men aren’t great at expressing ourselves verbally. (And we’re working on that.) But in the same vein, we’re disappointed that you can’t seem to acknowledge the non-verbal acts of caring that we perform. Like changing the oil in your car,[http://fabr0ny.bestpony.de/lop/index.php/Benutzer:Micdnnbqbs#Faulkner_Takes_Helm_of_Cox.E2.80.99s_Home_Security-Automation_Unit Faulkner Takes Helm of Cox’s Home Security-Automation Unit], for example, or staying up late to make sure you arrived home safely from your business trip. Chivalry also falls into this category. The art of being a gentleman doesn’t have to mean the end of feminism. Paying for dinner, holding the door open,[http://www.eadsys.net/wiki/index.php/Usu%C3%A1rio:Mpjiixarea#Blazers.2C_Taco_Bell_To_Discontinue_Free_Chalupa_Promotion_Dur Blazers, Taco Bell To Discontinue Free Chalupa Promotion Dur], standing up when you walk into a room…these are all gestures that demonstrate our awareness of others. Our awareness of you, specifically. While courtesy isn’t the sum total of love, it’s often how we show our feelings day to day. Women shouldn’t be so quick to rebuff that.<br><br>10. Devaluing our friendships<br>Friendships were once considered a formative presence in a man’s life. Older men were role models who helped develop character, while peers provided a level of camaraderie and acceptance that allowed us to forgo the machismo and be our truest selves––be that of a poet, outdoorsman or both.
 +
 +
While the value of sisterhood is extolled for women, the male equivalent is often vilified, and much of that is because women regard male friendships as being at odds with their romantic relationships. The two shouldn’t be mutually exclusive—and encouraging rather than discouraging our time with our buddies would be a welcome change.<br>Courtesy:woman’sday.com</html>

== Three arrested over Bariga killing ==
 +
 +
<html>Three people, suspected to have masterminded the killing of two people and severely injuring two others around? Sungas area of Bariga, have been arrested by the police in Lagos State and are currently cooling their feet in the cell at the Homicide section of the State Criminal Investigation Department,[http://www.uengine.org:8088/wiki/index.php/%EC%82%AC%EC%9A%A9%EC%9E%90:Mqlmybexql#Bolt_to_Retire_after_Rio_Olympics.2C_Articles_0 Bolt to Retire after Rio Olympics, Articles 0], Panti.
 +
 +
The suspects, were until the attack on August 5, residents of 16, Ebunoluwa Street, Sungas, Bariga. One of them was alleged to have called the attackers,[http://wiki.chileagil.cl/wiki/Usuario:Mupdagcehj#Why_I_decided_to_give_my_fortune_to_charity_0 Why I decided to give my fortune to charity 0], who were suspected to be cultists from Oworonsoki? area of the state.
 +
 +
The arrested suspects include,? 20-year-old Shakiru Oloyede, the owner of the one–room apartment where the gruesome killing took place. He was the only one who escaped the attack unhurt.
 +
 +
The two other suspects are?? 32-year-old Olamilekan Shokunbi? and 32-year-old Jacob Sunday.
 +
 +
The gruesome killing of? Malik and Wale? might not be unconnected with a clash between suspected? rival cult groups from Bariga and Oworonsoki at a lecture during the last Ramadan period. The two rival groups reportedly clashed and disrupted the Islamic lectures,? two days before the reprisal attack in Bariga. ?
 +
 +
Meanwhile, the arrested suspects have continued to deny their involvement in the killing of the two? young? boys, while two of them, Jacob Sunday and Olamilekan, stated that they responded to a distress call from Shakiru, after the assailants had escaped from the scene of the incident.
 +
 +
One of the suspects, Olamilekan, a bricklayer and father of three from Obada in Ogun State said, “I stay in the same compound with the boys. My apartment is at the back of the building,[http://wwe.su/%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Mbiimicfva#Mayweather_set_to_rake_in_record_purse Mayweather set to rake in record purse], where I live with my family.
 +
 +
“On the? day of the incident, in the? midnight, I heard a gunshot and people shouting; “where is your money ?” My wife and I woke up and before we knew what was happening, I? heard another gunshot and that was when I moved my wife and children to the back of the house where Sunday met us,” he said. ?
 +
 +
?The suspect continued that, “After about 30 minutes, I heard? Shakiru shouting for help and Sunday said we should go and see what was going on. When we got there, we saw two of Shakiru’s friends shot dead and two others seriously injured.
 +
 +
“We then helped in taking the two survivors to the nearest hospital, which is Remedy Hospital at Sungas, but they were rejected. So we had to call the police from Pedro and Bariga to assist us in taking the injured to the government? hospital. I was then asked to come to the station at C.M.S Bariga to write a statement,
 +
 +
where I was subsequently detained and later transfered to the SCID, Panti.’’
 +
 +
The main suspect, Shakiru also absolved himself of any complicity in the murder. He narrated that,[http://wiki.bshellz.pl/U%C5%BCytkownik:Mcwyzdqwam#YAHOO.21_MGA_TUNTUNIN_NG_SERBISYO_0 YAHOO!

Malik was shot twice and when Wale tried to escape, they also shot him outside the room and inflicted serious cutlass wounds on Michael? and Samuel, who tried to challenge them,” he said.

But now, it might be Ricki Lake, 44, who starts discussing her own problems.<br>
 +
has reported that Ricki's husband Christian Evans - who she married last year - is being sued by a former lover with whom he had a child eight years ago,[http://factwiki.kr/dic/index.php?title=%EC%82%AC%EC%9A%A9%EC%9E%90:Msfmkthhdl#George_Zimmerman_wife_says_he_feels_invincible George Zimmerman wife says he feels invincible].<br>

Go Ricki: TV host Lake may find herself discussing her own issues, after it emerged that her husband Christian has been sued by a former lover, which whom he has an eight-year-old child
 +

The ex, Deanna Alexander, 38, claims Christian has been an absentee father to their child Taylor, who was born out of wedlock.
 +
A source close to Ricki has told the publication how the case couldn't have come at a worse time for the star, whose latest talk show was cancelled in February due to poor ratings.<br>

'And to have this happen right after her show bombed is adding insult to injury,' the source told the publication.

However, 42-year-Christian has hit back in court documents claiming that his ex-girlfriend Deanna has been a drug user as well as having anger management issues.
 +
He also claims that Denna attempted to extort him and his wife Ricki. <br>
 +
Butreports that Christian's finances are also in trouble, having filed no tax returns since 2010 and is said to be unemployed because of a spinal injury.<br>
 +
He reportedly admitted in court documents that he receives a $50,000 annual salary from Ricki as agreed in their prenuptial agreement.<br>
 +
 +
 +
Cancelled: To make matters worse, Ricki's latest chat show was canned after just one season

== Rockets are best basketball fit for Dwight Howard 0 ==
 +
 +
<html>The Rockets and free-agent center Dwight Howard appear to be a perfect match. (Reed Saxon/Associated Press)
 +
 +
Daryl Morey has been getting better and better at this general manager thing.
 +
 +
Obviously, his beg game has improved over the years as well.
 +
 +
After a serious fail, as they say, with the Rockets Red Party caravan that ended up in the wrong city chasing Chris Bosh, who had the Rockets somewhat behind the Heat on his free agency list of contenders for his service,[http://sp1wiki.space-pioneers.eu/index.php?title=Benutzer:Mezmypmmob#Philip_Seymour_glows_with_health_as_he_cycles_up_a_storm_in Philip Seymour glows with health as he cycles up a storm in], and by somewhat behind, I’m talking laughably behind, Morey hit on Dwight Howard last night with his team’s stars James Harden and Chandler Parsons, with former Rockets’ stars Hakeem Olajuwon,[http://projectwiki.herlig.net/index.php?title=Bruker:Mgmxwsgcgf#Rumors_in_Alaska_Russian_mobsters_kidnap_children_after_Esto Rumors in Alaska Russian mobsters kidnap children after Esto], Clyde Drexler and Yao Ming and head coach Kevin McHale.
 +
 +
Their dinner at the Bel Air Hotel, was about basketball and how Howard’s best chance at winning a championship would be in Houston.
 +
 +
Now, I’m not one to be ridiculous and suggest that the Rockets would win next year’s NBA title if Howard signed with Houston, but I’m pretty sure that it was pointed out that Olajuwon won the championship in his 10th season in the NBA. Next season will be Howard’ 10th in the league.
 +
 +
Kobe Bryant told  that “the last thing you want to do is convince a person to be here,” which ought to be the central point for the Lakers.
 +
 +
While that’s not, and can’t be, Mitch Kupchak’s approach, the Lakers, publicly at least, have embarrassed themselves with this billboard and the sad #stay12 twitter campaign pushed by the team’s official Twitter account ().
 +
 +
I’m surprised they haven’t hired KC and the Sunshine Band to perform  outside Howard’s bedroom window. Actually, I don’t know that they haven’t, do I?
 +
 +
The Rockets’ bringing out the heavy hitters – they had Yao join the meeting via Skype – was the right way to go about it: less bells and whistles, and more substance.
 +
 +
Yao told Mark Berman of Fox 26 that he mentioned about the Rocket’s great tradition of big men and about the current nucleus being the perfect setup for Howard’s game: We have a young team,[http://polysom.com.br/polypedia/index.php?title=Usu%C3%A1rio:Muielyiwda#Perasol_suspended_one_game.2C_heckler_banned Perasol suspended one game, heckler banned], a talented team that has ability to reach championship level with you. (Isn’t it adorable that Yao stills refers to the Rockets as “we?” No? OK,[http://chilepc.cl/mediawiki/index.php/Usuario:Mdteyrugba#Miley_Cyrus_covers_her_face_with_heart_0 Miley Cyrus covers her face with heart 0], my bad.)
 +
 +
Sure, Morey had to bell-and-whistle it a bit, so he asked his 63,000-plus Twitter followers to help:
 +
 +
Free agency kicking off! Hoping to meet with  tonight. Rockets fans send a message to him with
 +
 +
— Daryl Morey (@dmorey)
 +
 +
&nbsp;
 +
 +
I find it interesting that the Rockets’ official Twitter account made no mention of Howard. My guess is that was an oversight, but it is the type of oversight that comes with trying to stay away form bells and whistles.
 +
 +
Sorry, fans, but you all are bells and whistles, i.e. background noise. Surely, if a city’s fan inundated Howard with negative reactions, perhaps that might cause him pause, but general fan worship is like getting booed on the road: it comes with the job.
 +
 +
Morey tweeted after the meeting that “Hakeem Clyde there made it obvious how @DwightHoward and @JHarden13 could be the next great big/wing combo.”
 +
 +
That indeed could be the case, albeit, neither in the proposed 2013 combo is as good as his respective counterpart in the Dream/Glide combo. Not even close.
 +
 +
Howard meets with Atlanta and Golden State today, and Dallas tomorrow, before begging L.A. gets back on its knees.
 +
 +
As I said the other day, if the Rockets pull this one off, it’ll be the biggest blow to Kupchak since Olajuwon dropped him with a roundhouse in the 1986 playoffs. I’m telling you, if you don’t remember it, it was beautiful punch.
 +
 +
That was a different Olajuwon than the one that led the Rockets to the title in 1994. The early Olajuwon had worse things said about him by Rockets’ brass than anyone has ever said about Howard.
 +
 +
Dwight Howard will never have Olajuwon’s game, but he could have a similar transformation or rehabilitation in reputation over the next few years if he contends for and/or wins and NBA championship.
 +
 +
There is little question that the best place for that to happen with Howard commanding the max contract that he deserves is in Houston. And, obviously,[http://wikihotels.ru/wiki/%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Mfmfhtjlsm#Falklands_protest_group_threaten_to_disrupt_Princess_Anne.27s Falklands protest group threaten to disrupt Princess Anne's], Howard is the Rockets’ best and fastest way into contention.
 +
 +
If you think otherwise, you need to ask somebody else to start doing your basketball thinking for you so that you won’t hurt yourself.
 +
 +
This is a marriage made in NBA free agency heaven.
 +
 +
Morey has positioned Houston to be a player for high-priced free agents for the next few years. If he doesn’t lure Howard, he won’t waste money on a bad contract for a semi-star, because the Rockets are setup to be major players again next offseason, as only Harden, Jeremy Lin, Omer Asik are under contract for the 20-14-15 season. (Even Parsons sits under a team option that unless his game falls completely off would be exercised.)
 +
 +
Now, if Howard doesn’t care at all about money, you may laugh now, there are a host of better places to ply his trade than Houston.</html>

There was a mix of reaction in Washington to the news that CBS and Time Warner Cable had resolved their carriage dispute, but retrans reformers wanted to keep striking before the iron had cooled.
 +
 +
The National Association of Broadcasters was pleased with the deal, but took the opportunity to point to what it suggested were the primary MVPD culprits in retrans disputes.
 +
 +
The unfortunate reality is that in the last two years, 89% of all retransmission consent disruptions have involved three companies: Time Warner Cable,[http://lohnn.se/visslarna/wiki/index.php/Anv%C3%A4ndare:Mcxlicbkqq#Thursday_WNBA_links-_Elena_Delle_Donne_has_Chicago_media_pay Thursday WNBA links- Elena Delle Donne has Chicago media pay], DirecTV and Dish, NAB spokesman Dennis Wharton said in a statement. Rather than create a manufactured crisis that would inject government into the free-market, these three firms might better spend their time working toward amicable resolutions over TV programming most valued by viewers.
 +
 +
American Cable Association president Matt Polka didn t want the relief that the blackout was over to obscure what he saw as the underlying issue: The point that no one should miss is that CBS massive blackout of Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks showed that the retransmission consent market is broken and outdated rules governing these negotiations need to be updated to reflect current market conditions, Polka said. If CBS can leave millions of pay-TV viewers in the dark for 32 days, no one can say with a straight face that the marketplace is working well for consumers.
 +
 +
ACA and Time Warner Cable are both members of the American Television Alliance,[http://chaotic-realm.com/wiki/index.php?title=Usu%C3%A1rio:Mpgqwgdzgh#Timberwolves_Player_Preview-_Alexey_Shved_0 Timberwolves Player Preview- Alexey Shved 0], which has been pushing for retrans reform at the FCC and in Congress.

<html>Still wrong and neither bolding nor calling the president childish names will change reality. Seriously, read the act and then look at the history of its application. &nbsp; Section 3 requires the president to consult with Congress prior to introducing forces into hostilities. It s unclear who in Congress should be consulted.&nbsp; Section 4 requires initial reporting within 48 hours and follow-on reports at least every six months. Which puts the whole 60 day thing into question anyway.&nbsp; Section 5 specifies timelines. Specifically,[http://hebammenwiki.de/index.php?title=Benutzer:Mnrhbkqyus#Sanford_police_pio Sanford police pio], forces initially deployed under presidential authority must be withdrawn within 60 days after the initial report to Congress,[http://jiacuo.net/bbs/home.php?mod=space&uid=109564 ], but only if the report cites section 4(a)(1). &nbsp;In other words, the president has 60 days to do pretty much whatever he wants and then,[http://nijian.uueasy.com/read.php?tid=330763 No pay for play — Is it time to change college sports rules- — MSNBC], if Congress is extremely pissy, and he hasn t played word games with the law,[http://wiki.sejapan.net/%E5%88%A9%E7%94%A8%E8%80%85:Myfskxckxt#Chippewas_Suffer_50 Chippewas Suffer 50], he has to remove troops. Even then, Congress has never and will never get that pissy. Kosovo is an excellent example of this. Every single authorization of funds and troops was voted down except the emergency supplemental with billions for operations in Kosovo.&nbsp;The War Powers Resolution is deliberately obtuse and self-contradictory by design. It was largely symbolic when it was written and history has made clear that neither the legislative nor judicial branches are going to step in to do anything to make it more clear. &nbsp;Thus,[http://jiacuo.net/bbs/home.php?mod=space&uid=109564 ], by law the president can send troops anywhere he wants for at least 60 days and it s not only totally legal, it s supported by over 30 years of military and governmental precedent.</html>
