The bow seems to have been invented in the late Paleolithic or early Mesolithic. The oldest indication for its use in Europe comes from the Stellmoor in the Ahrensburg valley north of Hamburg, Germany and date from the late Paleolithic Hamburgian culture (9000-8000 BC). The arrows were made of pine and consisted of a mainshaft and a 15-20 centimetre (6-8 inches) long foreshaft with a flint point. There are no definite earlier bows; previous pointed shafts are known, but may have been launched by atlatls rather than bows. The oldest bows known so far come from the Holmegård swamp in Denmark. Bows eventually replaced the atlatl as the predominant means for launching shafted projectiles, on every continent except Australia.
Bows and arrows have been present in Egyptian culture since its predynastic origins. In the Levant, artifacts which may be arrow-shaft straighteners are known from the Natufian culture, (ca. 12.800-10.300 BP) onwards. The Khiamian and PPN A shouldered Khiam-points may well be arrowheads.
Classical civilizations, notably the Persians, Parthians, Indians, Koreans, Chinese, and Japanese fielded large numbers of archers in their armies. The Sanskrit term for archery, dhanurveda, came to refer to martial arts in general.
Archery was highly developed in Asia and in the Islamic world. In East Asia the ancient Korean civilizations were well-known for their archery skills. Central Asian and American Plains tribesmen were extremely adept at archery on horseback.
The advent of firearms eventually rendered bows obsolete in warfare. Despite the high social status, ongoing utility, and widespread pleasure of archery in England, Korea, China, Japan, Turkey, Armenia, America, Egypt, and elsewhere, almost every culture that gained access to even early firearms used them widely, to the relative neglect of archery. Early firearms were vastly inferior in rate-of-fire, and were very susceptible to wet weather. However, they had longer effective range and were tactically superior in the common situation of soldiers shooting at each other from behind obstructions. They also required significantly less training to use properly, in particular penetrating steel armour without any need to develop special musculature. Armies equipped with guns could thus provide superior firepower by sheer weight of numbers, and highly-trained archers became obsolete on the battlefield. However, archers are still effective and have seen action even in the 21st century. Traditional archery remained in minority use for sport and for hunting in many areas long after its military disuse.
In the United States, competition archery and bowhunting for many years used English-style longbows. The revival of modern primitive archery may be traced to Ishi, who came out of hiding in California in 1911. Ishi was the last of the Yahi Indian tribe. His doctor, Saxton Pope, learned many of Ishi's archery skills, and passed them on.
From the 1920s, professional engineers took an interest in archery, previously the exclusive field of traditional craft experts. They led the commercial development of new forms of bow including the modern recurve and compound bow. These modern forms are now dominant in modern Western archery; traditional bows are in a minority. In the 1980s, the skills of traditional archery were revived by American enthusiasts, and combined with the new scientific understanding. Much of this expertise is available in the Traditional Bowyer's Bibles (see Additional reading).
Directly drawn bows may be further divided based upon differences in the method of limb construction, notable examples being self bows, laminated bows and composite bows. Bows can also be classified by the bow shape of the limbs when unstrung; in contrast to simple straight bows, a recurve bow has tips that curve away from the archer when the bow is unstrung. The cross-section of the limb also varies; the classic longbow is a tall bow with narrow limbs that are D-shaped in cross section, and the flatbow has flat wide limbs that are approximately rectangular in cross-section.
A compound bow is a directly-drawn bow designed to reduce the force required at full draw to hold the string taut. Most compound designs use cams or elliptical wheels on the ends of the limbs. The cams on a compound bow are engineered in such a way that the archer can hold twice as much draw weight for an extended period of time. Although the archer starts the draw at full weight, there is a 65%-75% let-off at full draw. For example, a bow set at sixty pounds would allow the archer to draw for a short period but hold 65-75% less than that at full draw.
The unique Penobscot bows or double-bows of Wabenaki region (New England and the Canadian Maratimes) are sometimes suggested to be an ancient compound bow. They involved a small bow attached to the back of a larger main bow. This combination results in both substantially increased draw weight for a relatively small main bow, useful for hunting the moose and caribou of the region, and the ability to adjust the draw weight by tensioning the small bow.
Mechanically drawn bows typically have a stock or other mounting, such as the crossbow. They are not limited by the strength of a single archer, and larger varieties have been used as siege engines.
The arrowhead is the primary functional part of the arrow, and plays the largest role in determining its purpose. Some arrows may simply use a sharpened tip of the solid shaft, but it is far more common for separate arrowheads to be made, usually from metal, stone, or some other hard material. The most commonly-used forms are target points, field points, and broadheads, although there are also other types, such as bodkin, judo, and blunt heads.
Fletching is traditionally made from bird feathers, but also solid plastic vanes and thin sheetlike spin vanes are used. They are attached near the nock (rear) end of the arrow with thin double sided tape, glue, or, traditionally, sinew. Three fletches is the most common configuration in all cultures, though more may be used. When three-fletched the fletches are equally spaced around the shaft with one placed such that it is perpendicular to the bow when nocked on the string (though with modern equipment, variations are seen especially when using the modern spin vanes). This fletch is called the "index fletch" or "cock feather" (also known as "the odd vane out" or "the nocking vane") and the others are sometimes called the "hen feathers". Commonly, the cock feather is of a different color, traditionally the hens are solid and the cock is barred. However, if archers are using fletching made of feather or similar material they may use same color vanes, as different dyes can give varying stiffness to vanes, resulting in less precision. Also, like colored fletching and nocks can assist in learning instinctive shooting (i.e. without sights), a technique often preferred by "traditional" archers (shooters of longbows and recurves). When four-fletched often two opposing fletches are cock-feathers and ocassionally the fletches are not evenly spaced.
The fletching may be either parabolic (short feathers in a smooth parabolic curve) or shield (generally shaped like one-half of a narrow shield) cut and is often attached at an angle, known as helical fletching, to introduce a stabilizing spin to the arrow while in flight. Whether helicial or straight fletched, when natural fletching (bird feathers) are used it is critical that all feathers come from the same side of the bird. Oversized fletchings can be used to accentuate drag and thus limit the range of the arrow significantly; these arrows are called flu-flus. Misplacement of fletchings can often change the arrow's flight path dramatically.
Most archers wear a bracer (also known as an arm-guard) to protect the inside of the bow arm and prevent clothing from catching the bow string. The Navajo people have developed highly-ornamented bracers as non-functional items of adornment. Some archers also wear protection on their chests, called chestguards. Chestguards are to prevent the bowstring from being obstructed by the archer's body or clothing as it is released. They also protect the archer. Roger Ascham mentions one archer, presumably with an unusual shooting style, who wore a leather guard for his face.
The drawing fingers, or thumb in the case of archers using the thumb or Mongolian draw, are normally protected by a leather tab, glove, or thumb ring. A simple tab of leather is commonly used, as is a skeleton glove. Medieval Europeans probably used a complete leather glove. Eurasiatic archers using the Mongolian draw protected their thumbs, usually with leather according to the author of "Arab Archery", but also with special rings of various hard materials. Many surviving Turkish and Chinese examples are works of considerable art; some are so highly ornamented that they could not have been used to loose an arrow. Presumably these were items of personal adornment. In traditional Japanese archery a special glove is used, provided with a ridge which is used to draw the string.
To load, the bow is pointed toward the ground and the shaft of the arrow is placed on an arrow rest which is attached in the bow window. The back of the arrow is attached to the bowstring with the 'nock' (a small plastic component which is typified by a 'v' groove for this purpose). This is called nocking the arrow. As said above, typical arrows with three vanes should be oriented such that a single vane is pointing away from the bow.
The bowstring and arrow are held with three fingers. When using a sight, the index finger is placed above the arrow and the next two fingers below. The string is usually placed in either the first or second joint of the fingers.
The bow is then raised and drawn. This is often one fluid motion which tends to vary from archer to archer. The string hand is drawn towards the face, where it should rest lightly at an anchor point. This point is consistent from shot to shot and is usually at the corner of the mouth or on the chin. The bow arm is held outwards toward the target. The elbow of this arm should be rotated so that the inner elbow is parallel to the ground though Archers with hyper extendable elbows tend to angle the inner elbow toward the ground as exemplified by the Korean archer Jang Yong Ho.
In proper form, the archer stands erect, forming a 'T'. The archer's lower trapezius muscles are used to pull the arrow to the anchor point. Some bows will be equipped with a mechanical device, called a clicker, which produces a clicking sound when the archer reaches the correct draw length.
The arrow is typically released by relaxing the fingers of the drawing hand (see Bow draw). Usually this type of release aims to keep the drawing arm rigid and move it back using the back muscles, as opposed to using arm motion. An archer should also pay attention to the recoil or follow through of his or her body, as it may indicate problems with form (technique).
The sight picture includes the target and the bow, as seen at the same time by the archer. With a fixed "anchor point" (where the string is brought to, or close to, the face), and a fully extended bow arm, successive shots taken with the sight picture in the same position will fall on the same point. This allows the archer to adjust aim with successive shots in order to achieve a good standard of accuracy. It cannot be used with short bows, which by definition do not allow a full draw. Modern archery equipment usually includes sights which mark the predicted impact point. Sight picture aiming is universally used with modern equipment and also by many archers who use traditional bows. It allows good accuracy to be achieved after a moderate amount of practice.
When using shortbows, or shooting from horseback, it is difficult to use the sight picture. The archer may look at the target but without including the weapon in the field of accurate view. Aiming involves the same sort of coordination between vision and motion that is used when throwing. With sufficient practice, such archers can normally achieve good practical accuracy for hunting or for war. Aiming without a sight picture may allow more rapid shooting.
Instinctive shooting is a term often used, but there is no agreed definition. Some use it to mean shooting with a sight picture but without giving it conscious attention. Others use it to mean shooting without a sight picture.
The straight flight of an arrow is dependent on its fletching. The arrow's manufacturer can arrange fletching to cause the arrow to rotate along its axis if desired. This improves accuracy by evening pressure buildups that would otherwise cause the arrow to slowly tilt in a random direction after shooting. If the fletching is not arranged to induce rotation, it will still improve accuracy by causing a restoring torque any time the arrow tilts away from its vector of travel.
Arrows themselves may be designed to spread or concentrate force, depending on their applications. Practice arrows, for instance, use a blunt tip that spreads the force over a wider area to reduce the risk of injury. Arrows designed to pierce armor in the Middle Ages would use a very narrow and sharp tip to concentrate the force. Arrows used for hunting would use a narrow tip that broadens further down the shaft to facilitate both penetration and a large wound.
Using archery to take game animals is known as bowhunting. Bowhunting differs markedly from hunting with firearms as the distances between the hunter and the game are much shorter in order to ensure a humane kill. The skills and practices of bowhunting therefore emphasize very close approach to the prey, whether by still hunting, stalking, or waiting in a blind or treestand. In many countries, including much of the United States, bowhunting for large and small game is legal. Bowhunters generally enjoy longer seasons than are allowed with other forms of hunting such as black powder, shotgun, or rifle. Usually, compound bows are used for large game hunting and may feature fiber optic sights and other enhancements. Using a bow and arrow to take fish is known as bowfishing.
Modern competitive target archery is often governed by the International Archery Federation, abbreviated FITA (Fédération Internationale de Tir à l'Arc). Olympic rules are derived from FITA rules. Target archery competitions may be held indoors or outdoors. Indoor distances are and . Outdoor distances range from to . Competition is divided into ends of 3 or 6 arrows. After each end, the competitors walk to the target to score and retrieve their arrows. Archers have a set time limit in which to shoot their arrows.
Targets are marked with 10 evenly spaced concentric rings, which have score values from 1 through 10 assigned to them. In addition, there is an inner 10 ring, sometimes called the X ring. This becomes the 10 ring at indoor compound competitions. Outdoors, it serves as a tiebreaker with the archer scoring the most X's winning. Archers score each end by summing the scores for their arrows. Line breakers, an arrow just touching a scoring boundary line, will be awarded the higher score.
Different rounds and distances use different size target faces. These range from (FITA Indoor) to (and FITA, used in Olympic competition).
Field archery involves shooting at targets of varying (and sometimes unmarked) distance, often in rough terrain.
Three common types of rounds (in the NFAA) are the field, hunter, and animal. A round consists of 28 targets in two units of 14. Field rounds are at 'even' distances up to 80 yards (some of the shortest are measured in feet instead), using targets with a black bullseye (5 points), a white center (4) ring, and black outer (3) ring. Hunter rounds use 'uneven' distances up to , and although scoring is identical to a field round, the target has an all-black face with a white bullseye. Children and youth positions for these two rounds are closer, no more than 30 and , respectively. Animal rounds use life-size 2D animal targets with 'uneven' distances reminiscent of the hunter round. The rules and scoring are also significantly different. The archer begins at the first station of the target and shoots his first arrow. If it hits, he does not have to shoot again. If it misses, he advances to station two and shoots a second arrow, then to station three for a third if needed. Scoring areas are vital (20, 16, or 12) and nonvital (18, 14, or 10) with points awarded depending on which arrow scored first. Again, children and youth shoot from reduced range.
One goal of field archery is to improve the technique required for bowhunting in a more realistic outdoor setting, but without introducing the complication and guesswork of unknown distances. As with golf, fatigue can be an issue as the athlete walks the distance between targets across sometimes rough terrain.
IFAA Field and International rounds are used in European Professional Archery competition.
On these animals there are 4 rings, only 3 of these are used in ASA shoots. The one that isn't used very often is the 14 ring. This can only be scored if you call it before you shoot, and even then it may not be allowed. Next is the 12 ring inside of the 10 ring, inside of the 8 ring. Anything on the target that is outside of the 8, 10, 12, or 14 rings is a 5. If you miss the target, you score a zero.
Though the goal is hunting practice, hunting tips (broadheads) are not used, as they would tear up the foam targets too much. Normal target or field tips, of the same weight as the intended broadhead, are used instead.
Similar to target archery, except that the archer attempts to drop arrows at long range (180 yards / for the men and 140 yards / for women; there are shorter distances for juniors depending on age) into a group of concentric circular scoring zones on the ground surrounding a marker flag. The flag is 12 inches square and is fixed to a stick. The flag should be as near to the ground as is practicable. Archers shoot 'ends' of six arrows then, when given the signal to do so, archers proceed to the target area. A Clout round usually consists of 36 arrows. Clout tournaments are usually a 'Double Clout' round (36 arrows shot twice). They can be shot in one direction (one way) or both directions (two way). All bow types may compete (longbows, recurve, barebow and compound).
Flight Archery can only take place where space permits usually in a protected area such as an aerodrome, subject to approval and access, since archers compete by shooting for maximum distances. Flight Archers shoot in various classes and weights and shoot six arrows at each "end" and then search for all of them marking the one which has been shot the furthest parallel to the datum line then marking this furthest one with an identifiable marker, the arrows can then be drawn from their landing sites. Alternative bows may be shot on subsequent "ends" and also marked as above with their bow types and weights. Only four ends are usual in one shoot (as per UK rules - in the US only one end is permitted). At the end of the shoot, archers stand or sit by their furthest arrows while judges and their assistants measure the distances they were shot. There are many bow classes and bow weights that one can shoot in. The archer who shoots the furthest in their class is the winner. Flight archery relies on the finest in performance equipment and the search for better flight archery equipment has led to many developments in archery equipment in general, such as the development of carbon arrows.
A form of archery originally derived from shooting birds on church steeples. Popinjay is popular in Belgium, and in Belgian Clubs internationally but little known elsewhere. Traditionally, archers stand within of the bottom of a mast and shoot almost vertically upwards with 'blunts' (arrows with rubber caps on the front instead of a pile), the object being to dislodge any one of a number of wooden 'birds'. These birds must be one Cock, four Hens, and a minimum of twenty-four Chicks. A Cock scores 5 points when hit and knocked off its perch; a Hen, 3; and a Chick, 1 point. A horizontal variation with Flemish origins also exists and is also practiced in Canada and the United States
A Papingo is also hosted during the summer in Scotland by the Ancient Society of Kilwinning Archers. The archers shoot at a wooden bird suspended from the steeple of Kilwinning Abbey. Here only one bird is the target, and the archers take it in turn to shoot with a longbow until the "bird" is shot down.
A Traditional English archery contest. Archers take turns shooting at a vertical strip of wood, the wand, usually about six feet high and three to six inches (152 mm) wide. Points are awarded for hitting the strip. As the target is a long vertical strip this competition allows for more errors in elevation, however since no points are awarded for near misses the archers windage accuracy becomes more important. The wand shoot is, in some respects, similar to the traditional Cherokee game of cornstalk shooting.
Archery is popularly used in historical reenactment events. This sort of event usually combines education of the audience of aspects of archery (such as the bow, arrows, and practice drill), combined with a demonstration or competition of archery in the style most favored by the period on display, generally in period costume.
Many sportsman's clubs and similar establishments throughout the US and other countries offer archery education programs for those under 18. These programs are commonly referred to as Junior Olympic Archery Development Programs, or simply JOAD. There are over 250 JOAD Clubs recognized by the National Archery Association.
It is important to note the strict separation between archery practised as a competitive sport and archery as an impalement art. For example, organising bodies for competitive archery prohibit activity that involves deliberate shooting in the general direction of a human being. The separation between the worlds of competition archery and the impalement arts is more marked than that between, for example, knife throwing as a sport and as an entertainment. While some competition knife throwers have also performed circus acts and there are official organisations that embrace both worlds, there is little or no evidence of such crossover in archery.
Archery involving a person in the vicinity of the target is a particularly dangerous practice and, even with very experienced performers, there have been cases of very serious injury.
Another situation where archery features as an entertainment is in its portrayal in movies. Howard Hill used his extraordinary accuracy for the archery in the movie The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) starring Errol Flynn. He used a heavy hunting bow to hit small reinforced target areas on the chests of actors in motion. Hill also performed stunts such as shooting an apple held by a volunteer and shooting a stone as it was thrown in the air. Some of his stunts can be seen in the short film Cavalcade of Archery (1946).

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

Rated 4.1 out of 5Â by 13 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by jodibvanwormer sweet summer jacket this jacket works well with light sweater,summer tops it works well with most,gives it a worn feeling. You have to let it hang for awhile so it falls gracefully instead of right out of box.Very soft, zippers work well spots easily if rained on but they do disapear.great color..i luv the color!! 4.18.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Nina1492 Lovely leather I adore this jacket- from the color to the cut. I'm a true size 6 and it fit like a dream (even with my broad shoulders). The color is a divine light-washed mauve- very unique! The arms don't leave a lot of room for thicker layers but it didn't deter me from keeping the jacket. 4.1.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Taradise Could Be Better This jacket is more of a dusty mauve color in my opinion. The coloring is blotchy. Some areas are more concentrarted with color and the white/beige undertone can be seen throughout. I am a US size 12, but I am able to fit this jacket in the US 10. It's just a little snug across the shoulders. I would wear a thin tee underneath. There is wire in the collar and hem. I do not like the wire along the hem at all. It makes the hem stick out instead of laying flat and has to be adjusted and reshaped. Another problem with my jacket is a heavier concentration of coloring along an area where the wire pressed against the leather at the hem. It's about an inch long. The style is very cute and the leather is soft. It has a distressed, worn look to it. Overall I like it, I just expected a little better. 2.6.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Beanie123 Gorgeous jacket I love the colour !! It's a bit darker than the photo dusky hint of beige pink that will go with browns and earthy colors perfectly . My only complaint is the smell ! I expected to open the package and smell that wonderful leather smell but instead it smells like vinyl , now it looks genuine and feels genuine but does not smell like leather at all , maybe t absorbed the smell from the bag it was packed in but it smells terrible .....I just hope after airing it that it goes away . Other than that the jacket is fabulous ! 1.17.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Hopers Yummy and soft! I took a shot and ordered this jacket and I'm really glad I did. I read every review because of the sizing issue and decided to get the UK8/US4. I am 5'6" 116lbs and it fits perfectly. The color is very hard to describe. I think the pictures of it are very accurate and it is a buff pink, very light and goes with everything! The leather is so soft it feels like a fabric. The wiring is a little wierd so I smoothed it out and shaped it to my preference and it actually give the jacket a little shape so it works. LOVE IT! and I plan on living in it...super chic but just funky enough to be boho at the same time. Hopefully this helps! 8.10.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by aks10 very pretty This jacket is soft and feminine with an edge, very chic. I love the color, its pink but neutral so it actually goes with a lot. The leather is soft and it hangs beautifully. The arms are a bit snug, but it gives the jacket a tailored look. I think this jacket runs a tad small, but will stretch out a bit with some wear so its almost true to size. 7.7.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by ajonesy Adorable but so small! I am 5'7, 130 lbs and can easily fit into a XS in most of the FP clothing. I ordered this jacket in size 8 and was worried that it would be too big. Nope, it's tiny! I can zip it up, but barely. That being said, it's such a cute jacket and I love the pink colour. It's so soft! Love this jacket. 7.8.2012
Rated 1 out of 5Â by Irlgirl VERY DISSATISFIED I was so excited waiting for my new jacket to arrive...boy was I disappointed! Mailman charged me another 110 euro (almost 150 dollars) in custom duty...then jacket was WRONG size. I ordered size 8 which I assumed was USA size given USA website and charged in USA dollars etc...however it transpires the sizing listed is UK....website not at all clear. Snippy customer service tells me basically my own fault and I am responsible for return shipping and insurance...no offer to send me correct size and Free People will NOT cover return shipping as gesture of goodwill! I really expected a business such as Free People would strive for customer satisfaction. Leather is soft but workmanship not great around pockets. Also dye not even but maybe that's the look! 2.18.2013

Boise, Idaho duo WOLVSERPENT summon a deeply lush and powerful amalgamation of doom, dark-folk, drone, chamber music and black metal on their Relapse debut 'Perigaea Antahkarana'. Shimmering tribal drone dances with epic blackened metal to create a sound much much bigger than its two human parts. Simultaneously dark and beautiful, WOLVSERPENT's sprawling Relapse debut gracefully blends stringed amplified instruments with a 21st century approach to composition to create a 4 part masterwork that is dark, emotional, menacing, cinematic, atmospheric, and heartbreakingly lovely.

Tokyo Dome, Tokyo, Japan
Chaos Theme
The theme for Chaos blares, as the camera's immediately go to Mike and Rocky, as we hear the music in the background.
Mike: Welcome to Sunday night Chaos folks, we are coming to you live from the Tokyo Dome in Japan, and boy what a show we have tonight!
Rocky: No kidding. Tonight, we see the World Champ, Shaz, defend against Sagittarius Blue. Personally I don't see why the pipsqueak is getting a shot but who I am to question Smokey's judgement.
Mike: We will hear from Jman after he was interrupted last week by a video of Artemis Eclipse from a recent BITW show. I'm intrigued to hear what Jman has to say.
Rocky: I'm not. Also, and this saddens me to say, but Carlos ALberto Ramon is not here with us. He is stuck in Australia, dealing with a visa issue. I spoke personally to both him and Van, and he is hoping to have it fixed in the next 24 hrs. He is actually going to meet us in the UK for the next edition of Chaos.
Mike: Oh man, Van by himself here tonight. I wonder if Damaged Goods or Black Blooded will see him as an easy target.
Rocky: I'm sure Black Blooded have more pressing matters on their minds tonight, like their match with D'Angelo "Pope" Dinero and this new rookie, The Vegas Kid.
Mike: Well folks, looks like we are kicking the show off with the champ!
Shaz's music hit's to the crowd's displeasure as he has a mic with him. Wearing his usual snapback, along with a chain. He stands on the ramp, and put's his middle finger up at the crowd before running straight into the ring. He begins to speak.
Shaz: Now THAT was a warm welcome!
Crowd carry on with the boos.
Shaz: Oh come on peeps, I know y'all love me!
Crowd still boo.
Shaz: This is like music to my ears!
Crowd go insane with boos as Shaz smirks.
Shaz: So last week. I had another moment to steal the show with my awesome in-ring abilities in another world championship match. And I can assure y'all that my match was easy peasy lemon squeezy. I faced one fucked up individual, who also goes by the name of Oscar Layman. However, this guy has some sort of multiple personality disorder, meaning he's really loopy in the head. Now I'm not sure if that affected his performance in the match, or not, but either way I still defeated him, and retained my IWA title as he was the second challenger to my IWA World Championship belt. And you know, people credit Layman as a funny guy. But he isn't humorous at all. His jokes, are way too cheesy, and pathetic for my liking. In fact, I'll be honest. There is only one thing humorous about him, and that is the fact that his jokes are so pathetic, the level of stupidity in it is too damn high! And I've heard that even thick people like Sagittarius Blue wanna face him in a one on one match, now that really is messed. But I however, did put him in his place, and proved to the world that I am the most dominant world champion in history of all world champion's. But to be fair, he wasn't really much of a challenge, however- what's done is done, so I've got a second tally to my title defenses, so far.
Crowd boo Shaz.
Shaz: After my match against Layman. There was an awkward, and creepy video that came up on the Insane-O-Tron. A video which included a number with double digits: 24. Now I've got many, many possibilities on who they are. But I'm not going to reveal them just yet. But whoever it is, you need to learn- who you're currently messing with. I know I may be a target, because I'm world champion, because I'm the greatest thing that ever stepped into IWA. But seriously? Cryptic videos, are way too cheesy bruv. The only success you get out of it, is making the crowd excited. But that result of that, will be a pain as the internet darlings will be wondering who the fuck that wrestler is, but then once it becomes too obvious, with wrestlers appearing in airports, lines being used, etc. They start bitching, and complaining that shit was too predictable. So if you've got a problem, come out here, and let's deal with it face to face, man to man.
Shaz waits for a few seconds, but no one appears.
Shaz: Not gonna show your face? Too pussy for that? Exactly what I thought. So, there's another man I'd like to address, and that is IWA's Boss, Smokey. Now Smokey, I wanna tell you something, and make sure you remember this advice. Believe it or not, I'm actually delighted about the fact that I have to bust my ass, and put my title on the line on each Chaos, leading up to my demonic main event at Destined for Immortality. However, if you want me to defend my title each week, give me an opponent that can actually put on a decent match. I mean seriously? Out of all people in the roster, you pick two freaks like Oscar Layman and AJ Dixon as my opponents for the first few weeks? Not cool. I've spent two weeks, wasting my time by facing two nobodies- who don't deserve a world title shot let alone a world title. And that get's on my skin. You might as well, just have given me a bloody break, seeing as those two men failed to take this strap of me. I want a real challenge. You can even give me someone like Kyojin.
Crowd cheer.
Shaz: Jman.
Crowd cheer.
Shaz: Van Hooligan X.
Crowd boo.
Shaz: But for my third challenge, my third opponent. I'll have to face a mongrel, also known as Sagittarius Blue. Now hear me out, I...
Sagittarius Blue
*Sagittarius Blue's music hits, throwing the fans into a frenzy. He walks out wearing his new "The One and Only" t-shirt, custom jeans and his favorite Converse hi-tops. He walks down the ramp to the ring, climbs in and grabs a mic...
Sagittarius Blue: Mongrel? *looks incredulously at Shaz* Mongrel? *looks incredulously at the crowd* Mongrel?
Shaz, I have to be honest - I'm almost at a loss for words with you. Which is crazy, because normally a lot of words come to mind when I think about you. Words like... delusional. Egotistical. Ignorant. Cowardly. Clueless. Cockamamie. Ridiculous. Brainless. *dead stares at Shaz* Bastard.
*crowd goes "ooooooooh" and Shaz looks like he wants to fight. Badly.*
Sagittarius Blue: But the only other word I can come up with for you right now is "irritating." I mean, you're already a pain in anybody's ass... but now you're even more unbearable than ever. Maybe it's because ever since you became champ, your ego went from colossal to unimaginably oversized. You, the most dominant world champion in all of history? Riiiiiight... And how long have you been champ again? Yeah, I thought so.
Sagittarius Blue: Of course, there's another reason I'm so ticked right now. *looks out towards the crowd* Chris. Divine. *heavy booing from fans ensues* I'm getting reeeeeeallly tired of "Mr. So Fine" running around and jumping me week in, week out... all because he's not "the man" in IWA. I mean, it wouldn't possibly hurt him to go out and actually DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Maybe win a title or two? Maybe impress the fans? But no no no... he wants to pick a fight with me. I can't help it if the Asylum likes me more than him... *big crowd pop* *Sagittarius notices and smiles as he looks around the arena, then turns to Shaz* And I certainly can't help it if they like me more than you *another big crowd pop* *Shaz looks super pissed as Sagittarius tries to keep a straight face* But if Divine thinks that he can take out his failures on me, he's going to be sorely mistaken... actually, after I get done with him, he' just going to be SORE. Because at Destined for Immortality, I finally get a one-on-one match against Chris Divine. He wants my attention... well he's about to get it! I'm not going away for anything - and Chris Divine is going to learn that the hard way!
But here I go, totally off topic. Let's get back to you, Mr. Delusional. Because the next challenger for your world title is... yours truly! You talk about being upset that you don't get any "real challenges." Which is ironic... because when other people talk about who they consider real challenges, your name never comes up! That overinflated opinion of yourself is going to come back to cost you your title, Shaz... and I'll be glad to collect on your shortcomings! The stars will align, Shazzy Poo, and -

At least six inches of snow fell on Ashe County between yesterday afternoon and early this morning as a winter storm blew through southern Appalachia.
Blue Ridge Electric (BREMCO) reports 4,616 of 73,085 regional members were affected by the storm, with the longest outage being approximately 18 hours. Of 19,805 members in Ashe County, 3,790 — 19 percent — lost power.
The Ashe County Sheriffs Office Communications Division reports that Old Highway 16 is closed near Shatley Springs Rd. where a tree fell blocking traffic and damaging power lines. The road will remain closed until BREMCO can safely remove the tree.
No injuries or incidents related to the storm were reported by ACSO or Ashe Memorial Hospital.
The Ashe County Department of Transportation has been clearing roads since the onset of the storm approximately 3 p.m. yesterday. Some roads have remained uncleared due to numerous downed trees across the county, but DOT officials are unable to provide a current list of road closures at this time.
Ashe County Schools announced early this morning all schools would be closed for students and staff. The missed school day will be made up Jan. 21.

Oh, America. You brutal, merciless fool.
When it comes to "The Voice," you messed up, America. True, you cut someone who reached her peak weeks ago, but you also eliminated the twee princess who wrapped herself so tightly around our hearts.
I'm not even going to beat around the bush here -- I'll leave the suspense and ratings-pandering to Carson Daly.
Last night, America voted off Amanda Brown and Melanie Martinez.
This means two things: One, that like Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine is now wholly out of the competition as well, and two, that America doesn't know a good thing if it beats them over the head with a tambourine, guitar and Cruella De Vil hairstyle.
And so we soldier on.
Things kicked off with the not-surprising-at-all announcement from Carson Daly that, once more, there was a RECORD-BREAKING response from voters. "Astronomical," he called it. Four of the top six contestants had at least one song make the iTunes Top 10 (Cassadee Pope, of course, made the Top 10 with both of her songs).
This was the first indication something was amiss: neither Amanda Brown nor Melanie Martinez had songs that cracked the iTunes chart, which means they missed out on whatever magical logarithm that turns iTunes votes into liquid gold.
So this is how things break down:
Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton are the only coaches left in the competition, with Trevin Hunte, Nicholas David, Terry McDermott and Cassadee Pope as the four semi-finalists.
Oh, yes, I said "semi-finalists." Truly, this is a remarkable effort to expand the season through three months and into the apocalypse. In past seasons, Trevin, Nicholas, Terry and Cassadee would just be considered finalists, and the winner would be chosen from those four the following week.
Not this time -- we still have two weeks until the finale, which I can only assume means that only two will move on to be actual finalists. This just seems gratuitous, NBC, I'm sorry.
What will happen:
Finalists -- Cassadee and Trevin.
What should happen:
Finalists -- Nicholas and Terry
Oh, you want to hear about Tuesday's show, too?
Ne-Yo performed "Let Me Love You," which I guess what great, because there was a lot of smoke cannons and dancing. The real highlight was when Amanda Brown strutted her way on stage -- more dancers in tow. She just look so excited to be on the stage with him, and the two had great chemistry.
Rob Thomas also returned (after helping Cee Lo coach his team earlier this year) to remind everyone that Matchbox 20 still exists. Their song, "Overjoyed," was like a less-cool "3 a.m." but it was cool to see Nicholas and Trevin take the stage. It was outside of both's wheelhouse, and though Nicholas -- that amazing musical chameleon -- stole the show, it was still a nice change of pace for the two of them.
Here's a thought when it comes to guest performances: Let's just have Cee Lo sing with the Muppets every night, forever and ever, amen. That's the variety show America deserves. NBC, get on that.

The community of North Naples has announced that there are twelve home sites available for new-build construction within the neighborhood, for buyers of homes continue to love the "inside the village" lifestyle of Il Corso at Talis Park.
Il Corso reminds you of the lifestyle of Talis Park, and it comprises 30 maintenance-free, detached, villas full of luxury by Distinctive Communities that range from 3,638 to 2,530 square feet. Stoff Cooney Architects have designed the seven, two and one-story floor plans that can be seen at this community, which is located within a bike ride or short walk of the famous Grand Piazza including spa, fitness, dining venues at the beautiful Vyne House Clubhouse, and Great Lawn is also included. The wide villas of Spanish Eclectic open to private outdoor/indoor spaces including water views. Multiple storage areas, heated swimming pools, an island kitchen, study, and outdoor living areas are included in these four- and three-bedroom plans that are sold at $1 million as a starting price.
An increased construction activity has been brought about by the proximity of Il Corso to the Talis Park's Casa Cortese Grille´s lounge and outdoor dining experience along with its proximity to the awesome Grand Piazza. The community also has six furnished and end-user model villas that are under construction. There are two villas that are available through a financial transaction called lease-back, and they are fully-furnished and completed. As twelve home sites will be released, an increase in construction activity is expected in this area.
Ficarra Design Associates will design the Il Corso's new models of villas that are currently under construction, which will showcase both the Catania II and the Berolina II floor plans. These models should be finished by spring 2015.
Dining area, huge room, island kitchen, three paths, and three bedrooms are some of the features of the Berolina II models of two stories and 3,315 square feet. Buyers can also build a summer kitchen that includes spa, pool, water view, fridge and a gas grill. This kitchen can only be added to a first-floor great-room master suite. A guest retreat is placed upstairs that includes private bath, a large bedroom and even a lounge if you want to.
The floor plans of the Berlina II are sold at $1,145,000. As construction of the furnished model progresses, its price will be determined accordingly.
Golf cart storage, garage, island kitchen, a study, four bathrooms and three bedrooms are included in the Catalina II models. These models also feature 3,198 square feet and two stories. Every outdoor living area overlooks water views that are part of Il Corso's landscape, and they might include spa, sitting area, fridge, outdoor kitchen, and pool, among other things. In addition, two walk-in closets are included in the master suite. Walk-in closets and private baths are part of the two suites designed only for guests. The great rooms of these models feature a ceiling crossed by a beam that resembles that of a cathedral's. The floor plans of the Catalina II are sold at $1,145,000. As construction of the furnished model progresses, its price will be determined accordingly.
Both Catalina and Deana models are open for anyone to view them at I'll Corso, and these residences have been built by Distinctive Communities. Ficarra Design Associates has designed the interiors of these models.
The Deana model features 3,278 square feet and a great room along with two stories. The floor plan features a garage for two cars, storage for golf cart, spa, pool, lanai-covered outdoors, a study, two bedrooms, dining area, island kitchen, and three baths among other amenities. A living room, large bedroom, and bathroom are part of the guest suite located upstairs. Diana models also include pool deck, wet fall, an awesome path over the pool, dining area, fridge, a living area outdoors and gas grille within the kitchen.
Ficarra's coastal-transitional designs of Deana models feature flooring made of planked wood with some variations of gray and taupe. The color palette made of light-coast colors features coral accents, glass greens, taupe, spa blues and off-whites. The entrance is full of ceiling details and tile flooring with mosaic stones. The study´s ceiling has applied moldings and the same happens to the central hallway. The dining area, kitchen, and the great room feature an open feeling owing to its ceiling full of vaulted beams. The kitchen features halogen lighting under the cabinet, tile backsplash with foam-like colors, granite countertops, white cabinetry and stool seating. The base price of the Deana floor plan is $1.2 million.
Catania models feature 3,109 square feet, two stories, four baths, dining area, three bedrooms, island kitchen, golf cart storage and garage for two cars. Its outdoor living facilities include a kitchen, gas grill, fridge, lanai, spa, pool, fire pit for natural gas and a sitting area. Ficarra has designed very clean models which are perfect for the atmosphere usually found in the lifestyle of Il Corso´s villages. The color pallet features dark wood tones, grays, navies, browns and off-whites.
The entrance features tray ceilings with a double step, a great room and main hallway. Its island kitchen features quartz countertops by Pompeii, stainless steel appliances by Viking, light-gray-finish cabinetry in the perimeter, a detail resembling a dropped ceiling over the island and walk-in pantry. A bench seating, four chairs and rectangular table are part of a cutout that is placed in the dining area. The base price of the Catania floor plan is $1.5 million. These models have all the amenities required for the life of luxuxy you have always dreamed of.
A standard villa at Il Corso features marble and/or granite countertops, drinking system by Culligan, natural gas cook tops, Viking appliances, custom front doors, carpeted bedrooms, fixtures water faucets by Kohler, porcelain tile flooring within the living areas, hot on-demand water heaters, air conditioning of high efficiency and a security system. Distinctive Communities has developed the Project with close association with Artisan Associates. Marketing and sales have been handled by John R. Wood Properties's JRW Developer Resources, which is the selected representative for Distinctive Communities.

Storing electronic parts
There is a plethoria of ways to store these components, but we should find and use the most efficient way.
Using coin envelopes
Coin envelopes are small envelopes which are useful for storing all the component parts. These envelopes can be stored in cabinets, where they can be easily retrieved. No physical protection of the components though. [1]
Using drawers
These are boxes with a lot of drawers, easy to use but bulky. [2]
Others are notebooks, shoe boxes and large plastic boxes.

Recent Life Jacket/PFD Reviews
Astral V-Eight
Very comfortable and does the job... This is just a little info from our experience that you may not see in reviews of places that sell the Astral PFDs. Being new to kayaking and wanting quality PFDs for mostly summer paddling I liked the description and reviews about the Astral V-Eight. My wife and I tried them on at our local EMS store and found them very comfortable and well made. We bought them and like them very much. I'm 5'5" 185 lbs and the V-Eight does a good job of floating me. They… Full review
Kokatat MsFit Tour
A great all around PFD for keeping you above water! I grew up wearing the typical orange, uncomfortable, and oversized life jacket that everybody pictures in their head when they hear "PFD", but once I first tried this on and tightened it up, It felt like I was wearing a bad ass tactical vest that had the bonus feature of keeping you afloat. This PFD is great for any activity that involves water. It gives you amazing range of motion in the arms and sits higher above your waist line compared to the… Full review
MTI Thunder R Spec
Thick, buoyant vest with a lot of great pockets. Can be used for multiple paddling sports. My review of this is somewhat inconclusive as I have yet to be able to paddle in this. I plan on using the vest for whitewater kayaking. From what I can tell so far however is it is not as low profile as I would have liked, as it is super thick to the point of having difficulty zipping it (but this could be fixed by more wear of it and getting it wet). I think it is overall a great vest, and it has some nice… Full review
Kokatat MsFit Tour
Not as flashy or as low-profile as some of the newer designs, but this one won out because it appears more robust and more up to the job when you really need it. After 15 years, my old Lotus vest popped the zipper. I took offense at this and decided the new one should not depend on a zipper--it needed to have at least a buckle at the waist AND a buckle higher up. I checked quite a few styles and almost ended up with a tiny, very-light Astral. The MsFit Tour did not immediately come to mind because… Full review
NRS Ninja PFD
The lightest PFD with best best freedom of movement available. I got this life jacket from my employer at Pocono Whitewater, Jim Thorpe, Pa. I previously was guiding with a Stohlquist Wedge-E, which — once broken in — was a fantastic jacket. I have to say though, the NRS Ninja is a prime piece of equipment. The design is simple, buckles and straps keep their position, but are adjusted easily. My favorite part is how light it is. Even when it's wet, you barely realize that you're wearing it. Full review
NRS CVest Type III PFD
Best PFD on the market for around $100. This is one of the best PFD I've used to date. Granted I'm not a white water nut, but I raft and canoe the swamps and Gulf of Mexico. I've used many PFD's, and never really found one that I thought would be worth buying. Until now. I used this one one a recent trip to Deer Island off the Mississippi Gulf Coast. And found myself awaiting the arrival home so I could purchase it online. The 5 zip pockets came in great for stashing gear. It also has a radio pocket,… Full review
Astral Wondervest
A great compact vest for paddlesports. I bought this used on eBay on a hunch that I would like the design...and I really have taken to it. I never liked fiddling with zippers on a PFD and now I much prefer pulling this on over my head. Plus, there is no zipper to break or go bad! The straps loosen and tighten very easily for a secure fit. Also, it is very short in the torso. It's made to fit a woman (who tend to have much shorter torsos, like myself) but anyone who paddles using a skirt will appreciate… Full review
Stohlquist aSEA
First of all I must start out by saying I got an incredible deal when I bought the aSEA, so I didn't shop around and try many others. I am very happy with the fit and feel. The high cut back is a must when kayaking, and this life vest works perfectly when paddling in my Rip. At first it seemed a little bulky in the front, but I quickly became used to the feeling of wearing it. Having pockets is a plus as well since I am often fly fishing from my kayak. I know others that have purchased the aSEA… Full review

If that person was a full time member of staff rather than a contractor, they'd be facing a number of HR cases brought by several staff. I still care about my former team even though I've left.

The food was absolutely excellent! All the meat is supplied by a local farmer, and the presentation and flavours can not be faulted.
Even though it turned out to be more pricey than normal, I'd give them 10/10.
I've woke up to the police cordoning off the road two doors away from where I live. Even though they've put up the tape and blocked the road off with cars, drivers and pedestrians are still coming up and asking them if they can pass.
Why do these people think that the road is taped off? Thicko's!
I've been watching the forensic crew searching for clues, and taking swabs and stuff. The police even called round to see if our cctv caught anything on camera.
There was an altercation opposite us, and someone was glassed, around 01:20 this morning.
It's quite chilly outside, so I pity the copper that has to stay in the car that's blocking the road!
