| John Lynch Leaves Broncos To 'Weigh Options' | | 2008-07-31 07:50:58 | | John Lynch confirmed last night that he has left the Denver Broncos and is "weighing his options" in regards to his future.
I'm going to explore all of my opportunities," Lynch said Wednesday night. "Is it retirement? Maybe. Is it playing for another team? Maybe. [Coach] Mike [Shanahan] has given me the opportunity to explore that and that's what I'm going to do. But I won't be playing for the Broncos."
Lynch had been given no guarantees about playing time, though we was running with the 1st team defense in their normal alignment. It was in "nickel" and "dime" packages that Lynch was being pulled off the field, something that did not sit well with the 16 Year vet.
"I had a good meeting with Mike [Wednesday]," Lynch said, according to the Rocky Mountain News. "There are no hard feelings, I'm just looking at what's out there. In my heart I want to play, but I need to look at everything right now and that's what I'm doing. Is playing still part of that? I really have t | | By: Mile High Report | | |

Why, why why would anyone do that? I just don't get it...perhaps they were singing the praises of the Krispy Kreme? The mind boggles. | | By: Sydney Girl | | |

| Spy Shots: 2010 Ford Taurus leaves the studio | | 2008-07-11 21:46:00 | | The current Ford Taurus is a safe and reliable vehicle with plenty of space for a family of five. The Taurus is also completely invisible in the large car market, due mostly to its vanilla appearance. The Blue Oval is hoping to correct this issue with the next generation Taurus, which is due in 2010. We've already seen a blurry photo of a handsome clay model back in April, and now the future Ford flagship has been spied on the street as well. Spies have caught a well-camo'd Taurus mule undergoing testing on public roads, with a new grille and modern-looking headlights that are exactly like the model we saw earlier in the year. The test vehicle also displays the same basic shape as the model we showed you back in the spring, which carries a more subdued version of Ford of Europe's Kinetic design theme. Gone is the odd-looking bulbous greenhouse from the current model, giving the future Taurus a more modern appearance.

The 85-year-old disabled father died while in the vehicle, apparently from heat stroke.Theodore Pressman, of Beacon, New York, left his father, Joseph Pressman, and his mother, Joyce, inside a black Suzuki in an office complex parking lot in Peekskill, New York, for about three hours on Monday, June 7th.The outdoor temperature was in the mid-80s, but WCBS-TV reported that the temperature inside the car rapidly rose past 110 degrees. 75-year-old Joyce left the car and entered a nearby restaurant because the car became too hot.

| China Earthquake Leaves Students Trapped, More Than a Hundred Killed! | | 2008-05-12 09:02:58 | | Prayers go out to our brothers and sisters in China who were just hit by a 7.8 earthquake.From the Associated Press and the New York TimesA powerful earthquake trapped nearly 900 students in central China on Monday after their school collapsed and at least 107 people were killed across several provinces, state media reported. The 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck central China, but sent thousands of people rushing out of buildings and into the streets hundreds of miles away in Beijing and Shanghai. The temblor was felt as far away as Pakistan, Vietnam and Thailand. The official Xinhua News Agency reported that four of the dead were ninth-grade students killed when their high school collapsed. Photos showed heavy cranes trying to remove rubble from the ruined school. Xinhua did not say how many of the students were feared dead.

| Fed cuts rates by 25bps, but leaves door open for more rate cuts if needed. GDP comes in better than expected. | | 2008-05-02 17:21:11 | | CURRENCY TRADING SUMMARYU.S. Dollar Trading (USD) was weaker on Wednesday after the Fed yet again cut rates by 0.25% to 2.00% for the seventh time since September last year. The votes counted 8-2 in favour of the cut, with only Fisher and Plosser preferring no change. The accompanying statement which was widely expected to suggest the Fed would ease its rate cutting for now, only hinted at the Fed’s future course of action by suggesting “indicators of inflation expectations have risen in recent months.” The market took these sorts of comments as affirmation that the Fed is near a pause in rate cutting but is leaving the door open to further rate cuts should the economy need the relief. US GDP for Q1 grew by 0.6%, surpassing forecasts of a 0.2% growth, suggesting the economy is still grinding ahead despite the plaguing financial turmoil. In other data news, the ADP Employment report for April improved from 8k in March to 10k, far outstripping expectations of a fall to -60k. Chicag | | By: All About Investiment | | |

| Gas prices may reach $5 a gallon by the summer, and no thanks to our state and federal leaders, that leaves you and me screwed! | | 2008-04-23 23:14:00 | | For some strange reason, I cannot forget this obscure day in August 2003.I was with a friend of mine, Joe, and we had just gone from Kearny to Belleville to grab a bite to eat at, of all places, Taco Bell. When we headed over the Passaic to Belleville, just before we got to the bridge, we stopped at the little gas station next to what is now Dunkin Donuts — the former Pete’s Place. I filled up my tank, and it cost me about $19. The price: $1.33 per gallon of regular.After we came back, something stunning happened at that same gas station — the prices jumped — from $1.33 to $1.55. Who would have known that this very moment, a 20¢ jump in price for a gallon of gas, would be the first in a series of price spikes that would lead to where we are today.At first glance, that $1.55 seemed absurd. But then it was $1.65, $1.75, $1.85, $1.95 — and then, that dreaded day — the gas signs said $2.01.

The turnover comes as Clinton finds herself in a position where she almost certainly cannot win the primaries.The Clinton campaign will likely try instead to convince roughly 800 superdelegates to support her in spite of the popular vote.

I've struggled for days over what to say about House of Leaves, not being sure what to say but knowing I have to say something and I have somethings to say. There is so much to be said about House of Leaves it is difficult to decide where to begin.I guess I'll start by saying that I don't believe anyone, and I know not me, can give another person a good understanding of just what reading House of Leaves is like. The only way to really understand this book is to pick it up and read it for yourself.That being said, I will now touch upon a few topics. The most obvious things a reader will first notice about House of Leaves is the unusual typography and page layouts (an example pictured below).

The credit market crunch could morph overnight from a crisis into a catastrophe.Considering this scenario, what is the smartest course of action? Should investors take cover and hide? In a word, no. A rare opportunity to score huge gains in the stock market exists right now. Scores of high-quality companies have been discarded by panicky investors at fire-sale prices. The gap between price and value has widened to extraordinary levels.Full Article: FT.com

| Banana Leaves "To Go" | | 2007-12-23 21:23:47 | | Banana Leaves "To Go"(Bungkus Pincuk)The Banana leaf is a multipurpose wrapper for grilling, steaming and baking. It also makes an attractive and biodegradable take-away package that will constribute a nice aroma to foods. You can buy them frozen in Asian markets but once they thaw out they are really only good for cooking with.There's more than one way to fold a banana leaf. One of the easiest is to start with the food to be wrapped on top of a square-cut leafPlace a second leaf on top of the first.Fold the frint corners over as if you were wrapping birthday present, but instead of folding the triangle up, fold it down and under.Repeat this with the opposite side.Now turn the package upside down and you will find that it is actually right side up. You can secure the edges with little sticks hand-fashioned from bamboo, or you can just use a toothpick. | | By: Indonesian Street Foods | | |

| waterfall and leaves | | 2007-12-20 23:00:00 | |
renowned for its splendid views, temples, waterfalls, and hot springs, Nikko also has a majestic lake surrounded by what appear to be dormant volcanic mountains. in fall, though the hillsides do not burn with the flame of maple leaves as in other parts of the country, there is a comfortable mix of reds, oranges and yellows that definitely gives that autumn aura. also well-worth the journey here is the cascading waterfalls a five-minute walk downriver from the southern tip of the lake. the whole experience is so overwhelmingly popular that the otherwise 1-hour journey takes anywhere from two to three hours during peak season. | | By: Sorafoto - Photoblog from Japan | | |

| Tancredo Leaves Race, Endorses Romney | | 2007-12-20 14:33:04 | | Updating our previous post, Republican Congressman Tom Tancredo confirmed at a Des Moines press conference this afternoon that he was abandoning his presidential bid. "For the same reason that I launched the campaign, I must now end it," Tancredo said.The Colorado Republican, who is also retiring from the House at the end of his current term, gave his support to rival Mitt Romney. As we suggested earlier, that endorsement isn't too surprising, given that Tancredo, who bragged this summer about helping to derail the campaign of John McCain, likely wants to keep the nomination from Mike Huckabee and Rudy Giuliani. Tancredo presumably views both as too soft on illegal immigration, his pet issue. Romney has attacked both Huckabee and Giuliani on immigration and has been airing ads in Iowa that target Huckabee on as well.Tancredo's candidacy has helped boost immigration to the top of conservative voter concerns this cycle and has driven his Republican rivals to change their tone on th | | By: Political Realm | | |

| 121 OFWs leaves RP every hour | | 2007-12-16 13:24:00 | | I stumbled an interesting study on OFWs from abs-cbnnews.com. Its surprising to think that despite the weakening dollar, many pinoys and pinays are eager to work overseas. Something is not normal here...:) check the rest of the articles below.An average of 121 overseas Filipino workers leave the Philippines every hour, a study conducted by the Commission on Population revealed Friday.The 4th State of the Philippine Population Report, a periodic publication funded by the United Nations Population Fund, revealed that most overseas workers were aged 25 to 29 but median age from the oldest to the youngest was 32.The median age was higher among the males (35) than among the females (29). This is because the men were mostly in the older age brackets - the biggest proportion (22.3 percent) were 45 years old and over. On the other hand, female OFWs were mostly young with the biggest proportion in the 25-29 age group.The report revealed that majority of OFWs are college graduates (44 percent) although a considerable number only finished high school (31 percent). About 12 percent of OFWs only finished grade school.PopCom Commissioner Grace Cruz said the data showed that migrants with higher educational attainment are still favored by foreign employers.She said that most of the OFWs come from Luzon particularly in Metro Manila, Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal and Quezon. "But this is only expected because most of the recruitment agencies and activities are based in these areas," she added.The report said temporary labor migrants still make up the biggest number of Filipino international migrants in recent years. In 2006, about 46 percent of estimated total number of overseas Filipinos were temporary migrants, 43 percent were permanent and 11 percent were irregular.The report also revealed that more Filipino women are getting jobs overseas and may soon outnumber male overseas Filipino workers.Records from the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration showed that females m | | By: OFW LIFE | | |

| Crew chief Ryan Pemberton leaves Dale Earnhardt Inc. | | 2007-12-11 22:57:20 | | CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Crew chief Ryan Pemberton has left Dale Earnhardt Inc., and the team said Doug Richert will replace him beginning Wednesday. Pemberton was scheduled to lead the No. 8 Chevrolet that will be co-driven next season by Mark Martin and Aric Almirola. ``Ryan is immensely talented and has always been sought-after,'' DEI general manager John Story said Tuesday. ``He's now chosen to pursue some of those opportunities and we wish him nothing but the best.'' Pemberton spent eight seasons with MB2 Motorsports, which was bought by Bobby Ginn before last season. Ginn then sold the team to DEI, and Pemberton continued with the organization after the acquisition. Richert became the youngest crew chief to win a Cup championship when he did so as a 20-year-old with the late Dale Earnhardt in 1980. He spent most of last season with Brian Vickers at startup Red Bull Racing, but was let go late in the year.

| Yellow River Game Ranch Wants Your Leaves | | 2007-11-15 11:24:00 | | HERE, LEAFIE, LEAFIE !!The Yellow River Game Ranch asks that Georgia residents, currently trapped behind their front doors by fall leaves, bag their foliage and bring stuffed bags to the 24-acre animal preserve in Lilburn. The leaves provide Game Ranch animals with necessary ground cover for winter bedding and nesting. Embedded acorns provide a source of "low-carb energy" for over 100 white-tailed deer and eager groups of chipmunks and squirrels.Art Rilling, CEO of the Game Ranch stated, "We encourage natural recycling – it’s an ideal opportunity to help our wildlife with those beautiful, but pesky leaves!"A wooden trailer has been set up in front of the Game Ranch for convenient deposit.

| Chuzenji temple and leaves (nikko) | | 2007-11-06 23:00:00 | |
i have always found Japanese temples and shrines to take a more minimalistic approach toward adornment. whereas in the west we tend to construct cathedrals to touch the clouds, or fashion ornate patterns and scenes out of multi-colored glass, the Japanese tend to simple. let the temple be part of nature; let the voice of nature speak for the temple. thus, the beautiful gardens surrounding each temple harness their colors as voices and sing with their seasonal rainbows: the deep greens of moss and well-cultured evergreens; the vibrant pinks and bass violets of peach, plum and cherry blossoms; the harmonic blues and purples of hydrangeas.
each floral variety has been timed, so that when one color wanes, another waxes--and each temple's surroundings become a rhythm. musical. poetry.
and scent. every temple in japan has its own perfume-- the delicate lilting note in the air; that aura, that unforgettable mixture of flora, loam and incense that gives you pause.

| Do you know why trees shed leaves? | | 2007-10-29 09:36:58 | | Prof. Know Why explains: Like people, the leaves of trees also age, but do so much more rapidly. Each spring the young leaves develop from buds and then rapidly mature to full size to carry on photosynthesis (the process that provides food needed for the tree to grow and maintain itself). By autumn, the leaves of many hardwood trees reach old age and do not function well. At this time a tree must also prepare for the harsher weather conditions of winter. Signals to the tree indicating it is time to prepare for winter include shorter days, less intense sunlight and cooler temperatures. Prior to the leaves falling, nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus move from the leaf into the adjacent stem to be reused during the next growing season. The following spring a new crop of leaves are produced and the cycle is repeated. To sum up, in early autumn, in response to the shortening days and declining intensity of sunlight, leaves begin the processes leading up to their fall. The veins | | By: WHY CORNER | | |
