NHS sponsoring Veterans Day Pancake Breakfast
The National Honor Society of St. Mary's High School will host an All-You-Can-Eat Pancake Breakfast on Veterans Day, Wednesday, Nov. 11, from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. at the school, 142 Laverack Ave. in Lancaster.
In celebration of the special day, veterans and active service members are invited to come and enjoy a free breakfast. (Please bring military identification.)
For everyone else, the cost of the breakfast is $5 pre-sale, $7 at the door.
All proceeds from the breakfast will be used to help fund the Society's community service projects, making blankets for patients at Women's and Children's Hospital, as well as running a drive and purchasing items for the SPCA later this year.
Previous community service projects of this organization have included Christmas Cards and decorations for Roswell Park Cancer Institute, a clothing drive for the City Mission, and a food drive for the Lancaster Food Pantry.
Tickets or more information is available by calling St. Mary's High School at 683-4824 or by emailing email@example.com.
Walk-a-thon proves to be very successful
Thank you to everyone who helped to make St. Mary's High School's Walk-a-thon 2015 so successful.
263 students took part in the Walk-a-thon raising over $13,460.
Special congratulations go to the students who raised the most money in their class: Senior James Roetzer, Junior Andrea Seeloff, Sophomore Kristen Barczykowski, and Freshman Payton Stachewicz. Andrea alone raised an amazing $680.
The students left school at approximately 8:30 a.m. and walked down Sheldon, Walden, Central, Pleasant, St. Mary's, and Terrace before arriving at Firemen's Park in Depew where they enjoyed a picnic lunch while having a fun time with games, sports, and other activities.
The money raised will be used for clubs, and organizations and to help fund the Student Senate Scholarship.
Students relax while at Firemen's Park in Depew.

Senior receives young entrepreneur award
Joseph Hamilton, a senior at St. Mary's High School, was recently named a recipient of a National Federation of Independent Business Young Entrepreneur Award.
In its 13th year, the award is part of a scholarship program designed to reward and encourage entrepreneurial talents among high school students.
Joseph and his brother, Daniel, a 2011 St. Mary's graduate, started Charlie
and Checkers, a unique entertainment company for all ages. Blending comedy, magic, juggling, and music, the brothers have performed for the homeless, disabled, and elderly. For the third straight year, they performed at the White House Easter Egg Hunt.
"America's young people have caught the entrepreneurial bug, and we could not be more confident in our next generation of business owners," said Molly Young, Director of the NFIB's Young Entrepreneur Foundation. "We are impressed year after year with the quality of these hard-working, innovative high school students who are making their entrepreneurial dreams happen."
Joseph will be honored with four other high school students at an awards ceremony in Washington, D.C., on July 23rd. During the event, the winners of the NFIB Young Entrepreneur of the Year and the NFIB Dan Danner Leadership Award will be announced, each receiving a $15,000 scholarship. The remaining three finalists will each receive a $5,000 scholarship.
"I am very honored to be given this great opportunity, and I am humbled to be offered this scholarship," Joseph commented. "I am so proud of how the business has grown. I can't wait to see what happens (in July when the awards are presented)"
"We are proud of our boys' ability to independently operate their own business and Joey's advanced perception of what it takes to be successful in a business," said Sandy Hamilton, Joseph and Daniel's mother.
"NFIB congratulates this year's winners for their tremendous accomplishments and hopes the scholarships will assist these young entrepreneurs as they continue on their paths towards successful futures," NFIB's Ms. Young added.
At St. Mary's High School, Joseph is a member of the soccer and lacrosse teams as well as Student Senate, National Honor Society, Scholars Program, and Tech Crew. He plans to attend Canisius College in the fall.
Students prepare home for refugee family
Over 50 members of the St. Mary's High School community – including members of the Student Senate, Faculty, Staff, and Parents – spent a recent Saturday morning on the West Side of Buffalo cleaning and furnishing a home for a refugee family. Working in cooperation with Journey's End, an organization that welcomes refugees and provides them with a variety of services as they arrive in Buffalo, the students scrubbed the house from top to bottom, put furniture and other household items in all of the rooms, hung curtains, constructed beds, and prepared the house so that the guest family will feel welcome and at home.
According to Mrs. Lynn Tytka, co-moderator of the Student Senate, working with Journey's End was a perfect opportunity for the school to reach out in service to the community.
"Every year, Student Senate does a service project," she explained. "This year, one of our seniors suggested Journey's End because she had worked with them in the past."
The service project actually began before Christmas, as the whole school contributed items that would be helpful to furnish the house. This included furniture, cribs, strollers, dishware, toiletries, drapes, and lots more. The students then waited for Journey's End to find a house to work on. Senate was notified early in February that a house was found – located on Albany Street on the city's West Side.
On Saturday, Feb. 28, the students, moderators, and families gathered at St. Mary's to load all of the donated items into the vehicles for the trip to the city.
Upon arrival, students were assigned different tasks throughout the house including removing items left by the previous residents, cleaning all of the rooms, shoveling all
of the entrance ways, and bringing in and setting up all of the donated items. Once everything was in place, the students made a sign to welcome the family to their new home.
"It was great that we can make such a difference in the lives of other people," said senior Kayla Murphy, the student who recommended the Journey's End project to the Student Senate. "It's great that we can get everyone at St. Mary's involved – the students, the teachers, the alumni. I was amazed at how much stuff was donated – almost too much stuff – and it was great to have so many people show up to help.
"I think this project also opens the eyes of the students, to bring them back down to earth," Kayla continued. "Many of us have never seen a house like this, to have tires and boards spread all over the place. It was nice that we could make it nice to – I know it sounds like a cliché – to turn a house into a home."
"I thought that the entire project went very well," Mrs. Tytka added. "The students were very interested in helping: they showed a lot of compassion for this family, wanting to make the house a home and make them feel welcome."
"It was great to go out to our own community to help someone coming to Buffalo, to make them feel welcome," commented Austin Klink, President of the Student Senate. "It was great that the whole school was involved with this project, from donating items to actually going there to prepare the house. I hope that more people will be involved in a project like this in the future, to see from start to finish how we can help people."
"I thought the project was awesome," said junior Kendra Ciezki. "Instead of just donating items, we had the chance to see the change from an empty house to a livable home. I wish we could do more projects like this, to spend a little time to directly help a family."

Snow storm forces schedule changes
Note – This is a reprint of the e-mail sent to all families on November 25.
Everyone at St. Mary's High School wants to thank the many men and women that worked tirelessly to clean up the Western New York area that was hit so hard by the lake effect storm. We have all heard of many inspirational stories that have come as a result of everyone helping one another in this area. We continue to pray for those who have been impacted severely by the storm's path.
Here at the school, the building was reopened on Tuesday, Nov. 25, after the school had architects and engineers here to ensure that the structure of the building was sound.
Thanks to our Buildings & Grounds crew, along with many faculty & staff volunteers, who put in countless hours to clear sidewalks, rooftops, and parking lots.
On Monday, Nov. 24, the faculty, staff, and leadership met to discuss the current status as well as our plan moving forward. After losing five instructional days, there was a lot to discuss. The following is a list of some of the important developments that have transpired and will require adjustments to the school calendar in the coming months.
Thank you to all of our families for their patience and understanding as we work our way through this devastating storm. Please contact the school if you have any questions.

St. Mary's, St. Bonaventure sign
Memorandum of Understanding
On Wednesday, Oct. 22, Mr. Mark Tramont, President of St. Mary's High School, and Sister Margaret Carney, President of St. Bonaventure University, signed a Memorandum of Understanding between the two institutions. The signing ceremony took place in the new Marian Conference Center at St. Mary's High School.
As part of the Memorandum, St. Bonaventure will be creating scholarships exclusively for St. Mary's students who enroll at St.
Bonaventure. In addition, St. Bonaventure will be providing professional development for St. Mary's faculty and recruitment opportunities for St. Mary's students.
According to Mr. Tramont, the agreement between St. Mary's and St. Bonaventure is the first of its kind for either school.
"We are very excited to be teaming with St. Bonaventure," said Mr. Tramont. "We believe that our students and faculty will greatly benefit from all that St. Bonaventure has to offer. We know that St. Bonaventure will be gaining quality students when our Seniors enroll there."
Specific parts of the Memorandum of Understanding include:
"As a college-preparatory institution," Mr. Tramont continued, "we at St. Mary's felt that establishing relationships with area Catholic colleges and universities was needed to help our students as they prepare for their post-St. Mary's life. We look forward to working with St. Bonaventure for many years to come.
"It is our hope that this is only the first agreement between St. Mary's High School and other institutions of higher learning," he concluded.
Bishop Malone blesses Peace Garden
On Monday, Oct. 20, Bishop Richard Malone, Bishop of Buffalo, presided at the Blessing and dedication of the new additions to the St. Mary's High School Campus.
The newest additions of St. Mary's that were blessed included the St. Francis of Assisi Peace Garden (in memory of Marty Galasso), Marian House Conference Center, St. Mary's Student / Alumni Art Gallery, Icon Hallway, and Advancement and Enrollment Department Offices.
The additions are being funded through a grant from the Galasso Foundation, founded by 1930 St. Mary's graduate August Galasso. Marty Galasso is the nephew of August.
In addition to the new sections of the school, Bishop Malone also blessed the members of the St. Mary's Board of Trustees, as well as Mark Tramont as the school's first President and Kevin Kelleher as the school's first Vice President.
Over 100 people attended the blessing and reception that followed. Attendees included members of the Galasso Foundation, local politicians and dignitaries, alumni, faculty/staff, friends, and St. Mary's students.
SMHS announces Sophomore STEAM Challenges
A letter from Ms. Jennifer Anthone, STEAM Coordinator:
I hope this letter finds you well and you are enjoying your final days of summer. Now that the season is coming to an end and the school year is rapidly approaching, I am pleased to share with you information on the exciting projects I will be conducting with the sophomore class as St. Mary's STEAM Coordinator. The faculty and staff at St. Mary's have worked very hard to develop the STEAM curriculum and cannot wait to see what our bright, talented, and innovative students will create!
For those of you who may not know, STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics. Because of the strong prevalence of the STEAM subjects in today's society, the incorporation of a comprehensive STEAM curriculum is not only pertinent, but also essential to helping our students succeed. The primary goal of St. Mary's STEAM program is to increase interest and participation in STEAM and STEAM-related fields. Sophomore year is the ideal year for STEAM training, because as the students enter their junior year, they begin to have room in their schedules for more elective courses. The hope is that after participating in the STEAM challenges, enrollment in STEAM elective courses will increase and thus lead to more students pursuing STEAM as majors in college and, eventually, careers.
What does this mean for the students? This means all sophomores are required to register and successfully complete at least two STEAM Challenges. We will run eight STEAM Challenges during the year, so the students will be able to choose the projects in which they are most interested. They are, of course, welcome to participate in more than two projects. Should a student fail to successfully complete two STEAM Challenges, the student will not receive credit for their sophomore year science class. All challenges will be graded on a pass/fail basis. Criteria for grading each project will be shared at the beginning of the project and may include submission of a brief background research paper, project proposal, project design and construction, project performance, and final presentation. Furthermore, the project must meet the minimum requirements specific to that project as described in the project descriptions document, which can be found attached to this email. Bonus points will be awarded to students whose projects exceed the minimum requirements and demonstrate exemplary work. The top three projects from each challenge will be displayed in the St. Mary's Top Engineers showcase, as well as at the end-of-the-year symposium, STEAM-FEST!
At the Sophomore Class Meeting on Monday, September 8th, I will speak to the entire class about the STEAM Challenges and the students will register for the projects in which they would like to partake.
We are extremely grateful to the John R. Oishei Foundation that awarded a very generous STEAM grant to St. Mary's High School and the private school consortium, BISSNET, to which we belong. We have used this grant to outfit our "STEAM ZONE" in Room 205 at the school with the equipment and materials needed for the Sophomore STEAM Challenges. This includes new iPads, computers, and other equipment and supplies that will help our students grow and learn through these projects.
Thank you in advance for supporting St. Mary's STEAM program. Should you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at the E-Mail address provided. Be sure to look for updates and highlights from the STEAM Challenges in future issues of Currents, the SMHS monthly publication that gets emailed to all families. I look forward to working together and watching our students' brilliant minds at work!
STEAM Challeges for 2014-15
Below is a list of descriptions of each of the STEAM Challenges for the 2014-2015 school year. All sophomore students are required to participate in and successfully complete at least two STEAM Challenges. Should a student fail to successfully complete two STEAM Challenges, that student will not receive credit for their sophomore science course. All challenges will be graded on a pass/fail basis.
Criteria for grading each project will be shared at the beginning of the project and may include submission of a brief background research paper, project proposal, project design and construction, project performance, and final presentation.
Furthermore, the project must meet the minimum requirements as described in the project descriptions listed here. Bonus points will be awarded to students whose projects far exceed the minimum requirements and expectations.
The top three projects from each challenge will be displayed in the St. Mary's Top Engineers showcase, as well as at the end of the year symposium, STEAM-FEST!
September 8th – October 16th
Students will design and build a soda bottle rocket that will carry an egg as its passenger. The rocket must reach a height of at least 20 feet and the egg must not break on the rocket's return back to Earth. Students are free to use additional recyclable materials to construct fins to attach to the rocket and a cabin for the egg. Bonus points will be awarded to students who successfully separate the egg from the rocket before landing and rockets that obtain the highest height without breaking the egg.
October 21st – November 26th
Build A Wind Turbine:
Students will be provided with the basic components for a miniature wind turbine. Using only these and other recyclable materials, students will compete to construct the most efficient wind turbine. Efficiency will be based on height, weight, blade design, and electrical output. Bonus points will be awarded to students whose wind turbines are the smallest yet produce the greatest electrical output.
December 1st – January 5th
Game Developer Challenge:
Students will create a video game using the application, Scratch, which is a programming language and online community where users can create their own interactive stories, games, and animations, with the goal of teaching fourth grade students a math concept. Students are free to choose which math concept they would like to teach. The game must include an introduction and directions, ask at least five questions, offer helpful hints, keep score, track the user's progress, and have a conclusion. Games will be subjected to testing in an actual fourth grade classroom and be evaluated by fourth grade students. Bonus points will be awarded to students who align the game with the fourth grade math curriculum standards and receive positive feedback from the fourth grade students.
School of Rock:
Students will design and construct at least one instrument that will be used to play a recognizable song. Students can use recyclable materials or the 3D printer to build their instruments. The instrument must be able to play a variety of notes with definite tones and frequencies. Bonus points will be awarded to students who form a band and play a song together and/or compose their own piece of music.
January 7th – February 13th
Make 'n' Wear:
Students will design at least three items of wearable art. They will then choose the best of their designs to construct using either the 3D printer or recyclable materials. Students will have to decide which material(s) to use to produce their wearable design in order to estimate the cost of production. Students will then provide an estimated retail price. Bonus points will be awarded to students who design the most cost efficient item.
February 23rd – March 25th
Mousetrap Car Derby:
Students will build a mousetrap car using recyclable materials and a mousetrap for power. The mousetrap must provide the thrust; the design and all other aspects of the car will be at the students' discretion. Bonus points will be awarded to students whose cars drive in a straight line, travel the furthest distance, and achieve the greatest speed.
March 26th – April 17th
Bridging the Gap:
Students will build a Truss bridge using only balsa wood and glue. The bridge will need to have a certain clearance and length which will be specified. The bridge must also be designed to hold weight. Bonus points will be awarded to students whose bridges withstand the greatest amount of weight without breaking, bridges that hold the greatest amount of weight yet have the smallest mass, and bridges that endure earthquake-like conditions.
April 20th – May 21st
Easy Bake Solar Oven:
Students will design and construct a solar powered oven. Students have the freedom to design their ovens however they choose, but can only use recyclable materials to build their ovens. Students will then use their ovens to cook a meal. A greater description of what constitutes a meal will be provided at the start of the project. Bonus points will be awarded to students whose ovens thoroughly cook the meal to optimum temperature without the meal being undercooked or burned.
SMHS wins award at Art Alive
For the first time since 2011, St. Mary's High School in Lancaster placed an entry into the Albright-Knox Art Gallery's Art Alive Competition.
Held on Saturday, June 7, students, teachers, and friends created living representations of works of art from the Albright-Knox's Collection and beyond for the 18th annual Art Alive living art contest.
Under the leadership of Art teacher Ms. Laura James, the students of St. Mary's chose to recreate several of Roy Lichtenstein's pop art paintings including Ohhh … Alright, In the Car, and M-Maybe (a Girl's Picture).
The nearly 2,000 spectators at the event voted for the People's Choice Award; they selected the St. Mary's entry for the Best Tableau in Grades 9-12.
Congratulations to the St. Mary's art students Anna DiDomenico, Leah May, Kaila McKay, and Nick Samson and art teacher Ms. James for their hard work and success with their prize-winning entry.
In the collection of pop art pieces by Roy Lichtenstein are Leah May (left panel), Anna DiDomenico and Nick Samson (center panel), and Kaila McKay (right panel).

Hi devs,
As always, great plugin :)
I have a minor issue though, possibly for the first time with this plugin and I think it might actually be a conflict rather than a bug :/
I have an embedded form and I have it configured to submit with AJAX. However, the processing text/image are not being displayed and the response is also no being displayed. The email is sent though.
However, no errors are output at all, which has stumped me a little!! You can see it in action here; it appears to be having trouble actually targeting elements using the jquery find() function :?
Any pointers/ideas would really be appreciated :)

Exploring spatial and temporal scales provides a way to understand human alteration of landscape processes and human responses to these processes. We address three topics relevant to human-landscape systems: (1) scales of human impacts on geomorphic processes, (2) spatial and temporal scales in river restoration, and (3) time scales of natural disasters and behavioral and institutional responses. Studies showing dramatic recent change in sediment yields from uplands to the ocean via rivers illustrate the increasingly vast spatial extent and quick rate of human landscape change in the last two millennia, but especially in the second half of the twentieth century. Recent river restoration efforts are typically small in spatial and temporal scale compared to the historical human changes to ecosystem processes, but the cumulative effectiveness of multiple small restoration projects in achieving large ecosystem goals has yet to be demonstrated. The mismatch between infrequent natural disasters and individual risk perception, media coverage, and institutional response to natural disasters results in un-preparedness and unsustainable land use and building practices.

I think this picture perfectly conveys the concept of being emo. The stereotypical emo person cuts, and is always alone, but really, they are just people who can't express emotion like others. This picture is amazing!
Not picking a fight, but speaking from experience, I've been called a goth/emo kid.and maybe I am. I understand how they feel.definitely. but not all of them cut. I don't cut and won't cut. I know of plenty of kids who arnt even close to being emo, and she cuts a lot. Just wanted to say that

"The invitations were absolutely beautiful. We received so many compliments. They were shipped extremely fast and the RSVP website has been a tremendous help. Thank You!!! I will definitely be using this site again for any future events."
"was one of the best customer experiences I've ever had! Got exactly what I wanted, received it impossibly quick, and felt like I was the ONLY customer that mattered. I have rarely experienced that before. Thank you so very much! The invitations are exactly what I expected - elegant and simple"
"I purchased the Lacy Lattice card for our daughter's first communion. I had pre-ordered a sample, but I still wasn't sure if it would look as good when I put our own picture and added the pearl shimmer. The invitation turned out just how I imagined it. I mailed the invites this last week, and I have received SO many compliments. Tinyprints doubled checked the invite for possible errors, which I truly appreciated and mailed my order faster than I expected. This was my first order with Tinyprints, because of this great experience, I will do it again."
"My first order with tiny prints. I am very impressed with the quality of the card and quick delivery time. Love that it is a reverent but colorful, modern design. I was able to personalize easily (liked the modern graphic but changed our names, church etc to have capital letters). I ordered the Azalea address labels and they coordinate very nicely."
"I was hesitant ordering an invitation online. I was very pleased to receive the order before it was due and was incredibly happy with the invitation. I will definitely be ordering from Tiny Prints in the future."

Re: Comcast Hard Pull!! What the??
Yeap, Dish Network, hp'd me last fall when I switched over from Directv (changed only so I could get local news stations we couldn't get with Dircetv). Thing that ticked me off, is they told me some crap about checking with the previous service provider to see if I was paid up to date (which I was) so I said "sure", and it wasn't until a few weeks later when I checked My FICO that I realized they didn't check anything with Directv, they hard pulled my credit report.

I'm currently trying to determine why my WP blog is loading so slowly.
When trying to access the homepage, you can't help but notice a 3-4 second delay before the page loads. This is shortened by deactivating all plugins to < 1 second. I began using the Firefox Page Speed addon and was able to see this delay graphically.
My question is, referencing the Plugin API/Action Reference, is it safe to say that my website is getting bogged down with plugins during the "plugins_loaded" action?
If so... is there anyway to speed this up?

Mehran's novel delights the senses on every page. The story pulses with life as three Iranian sisters struggle to make sense of matters of the heart and the spirit.
Elizabeth Cox, author of The Slow Moon
More than a year has passed since Marjan, Bahar, and Layla, the beautiful Iranian Aminpour sisters, sought refuge in the quaint Irish town of Ballinacroagh. Opening the beguiling Babylon Cafe, they charmed the locals with their warm hearts and delectable Persian cuisine, bringing a saffron-scented spice to the once-sleepy village.
But when a young woman with a dark secret literally washes up on Clew Bay Beach, the sisters world is once again turned upside down. With pale skin and webbed hands, the girl is otherworldly, but her wounds tell a more earthly (and graver) story one that sends the strict Catholic town into an uproar. The Aminpours rally around the newcomer, but each sister must also contend with her own transformation Marjan tests her feelings for love with a dashing writer, Bahar takes on a new spiritual commitment with the help of Father Mahoney, and Layla matures into a young woman when she and her boyfriend, Malachy, step up their hot and heavy relationship.
Filled with mouthwatering recipes and enchanting details of life in Ireland, Rosewater and Soda Bread is infused with a lyrical warmth that radiates from the Aminpour family and their big-hearted Italian landlady, Estelle, to the whole of Ballinacroagh and the world beyond.
Praise for Marsha Mehran's Pomegranate Soup
A mouthwatering tale with flavors of Chocolat and Under the Tuscan Sun . . . sinfully sweet and satisfying.
Orlando Sentinel
Glorious, daring, and delightful, filled with humor, hope, and possibility.
Adriana Trigiani, author of the Big Stone Gap novels
An enchanting tale of love, family, and renewal.
Firoozeh Dumas, author of Laughing Without an Accent"
About the Author
Born in Tehran, Marsha Mehran escaped the upheaval of the Iranian revolution with her family. She grew up in Argentina, where her parents operated a Middle Eastern cafe. She now lives in the west of Ireland with her husband, who is often called upon to taste her experimental cooking.

The latest, from a manhole in Stanley St on Tuesday
afternoon, was caused by a build-up of congealed fat which
blocked a pipe and caused overflow.
A statement released by the Queenstown Lakes District Council
said an estimated 2000 litres of wastewater subsequently
entered Horne Creek and signs were placed along a short
section of beach where the creek enters Lake Wakatipu.
Water testing on Tuesday night confirmed E. coli was
present and the council was waiting for the result of
yesterday's testing, the council's infrastructure and assets
general manager, Erik Barnes, said. It was likely that the
fat came from a restaurant but the council has not been able
to find where it entered the sewerage system, Mr Barnes said.
In December, raw sewage flowed on to Athol St and last month
the Otago Daily Times reported that in the past year
there had been nine unauthorised sewage spills into Lake
Wakatipu in the Queenstown, Frankton and Fernhill areas.
There had also been two last month, one at Kelvin Heights and
the other at Frankton.
The council was looking at developing a trade waste bylaw
which would make it easier to prosecute people found putting
inappropriate material into the sewers and stormwater drains.
''We want to do better,'' Mr Barnes said, but added, ''It's
one of those tough things.''
An education programme had also been launched to inform the
public about the consequences of tipping fat, oil or grease
into drains either at home or work.
On average, it costs the council $1000 to have contractors
clean up spills.

Definición de lobster claw en inglés:
lobster claw
A tropical American plant with brightly coloured flowers which resemble a lobster's claw, each being composed of boat-shaped bracts.
- Heliconia bihai, family Heliconiaceae.
Oraciones de ejemplo
- For an unusual spring climber that makes a good show, I would suggest Clianthus puniceus, known as the lobster claw and the parrot's beak because of the curious shape of the petals.
- Bursts of colour from tropical flowers broke the sea of green - white orchids, bold red lobster claws and anthuriums - and the sounds of life in the forest, with cackling parrots and chirping cicadas, was almost deafening.
- Commonly known as lobster claws, Heliconia are close relatives of ginger, banana, and the bird-of-paradise plants familiar from florists' shops.

Haskins to defend IBF 118-pound title against Hall
The inevitable rematch between Lee Haskins and Stuart Hall will take place with the IBF bantamweight title on the line in London, England.
The inevitable rematch between Lee Haskins and Stuart Hall will take place with the IBF bantamweight title on the line in London, England.
Lee Haskins defended his IBF bantamweight title for the first time with a wide unanimous decision over Ivan Morales on Saturday at Ice Arena in Cardiff, Wales.
Lee Haskins became the IBF bantamweight titleholder in bizarre circumstances but has his chance to shine against Ivan Morales in Cardiff, Wales, this Saturday.
Josh Warrington claims the biggest scalp of his career by outpointing Hisashi Amagasa; an all-British world title fight with Welshman Lee Selby could be next.
After winning a belt at 118 pounds but suffering several setbacks afterward, Randy Caballero looks to come back strong at junior featherweight on Feb. 5.
Former IBF bantamweight titlist Paul Butler isn't just ready and raring to go against IBF junior bantamweight beltholder Zolani Tete this Friday night. He's already made post-fight plans for world recognition.
Amid a very active bantamweight division stands undefeated Randy Caballero, who won the vacant IBF title on Saturday. Today, a hero's welcome awaits him in Nicaragua.
Randy Caballero claimed the vacant IBF bantamweight title with a unanimous decision over Stuart Hall in Monte Carlo on Saturday. In the main event of the show, Martin Murray continued his journey towards a shot at WBA middleweight titleholder Gennady Golovkin with a messy seventh-round technical decision over Domenico Spada.
Randy Caballero won the vacant IBF bantamweight title with a unanimous decision over Stuart Hall on Saturday in Monte Carlo. Caballero, who scored a knockdown, won by scores of 116-111 (twice) and 118-110, which was not indicative of the competitive nature of the fight.
A fired-up Randy Caballero says he's prepared to score a knockout in Saturday's IBF bantamweight title bout against ex-beltholder Stuart Hall at Salle des etoiles, Monte Carlo, Monaco.
Stuart Hall looks to become a two-time titleholder on Saturday when he meets Randy Caballero for the vacant IBF bantamweight belt in Monte Carlo. Hall is a 3-to-1 underdog but the 34-year-old pressure fighter is confident he'll be too much for the undefeated youngster to handle.
Stuart Hall hopes to become a two-time bantamweight titlist on October 25 when he faces Randy Caballero on October 25 for the vacant IBF strap.
In Lem Satterfield's latest notebook, we get the details on the upcoming bout between Stuart Hall and Randy Caballero for the vacant IBF 118-pound belt.
British bantamweight star Paul Butler lived up to the hype by snatching the IBF title from countryman Stuart Hall via split decision in Newcastle, England on Saturday. Two official judges scored 115-113 and 117-111 for Butler.
Stuart Hall upset the odds when he won the IBF bantamweight title in December and the relentless pressure fighter from Darlington, England, is keen to defy the odds again when he meets undefeated favorite Paul Butler in Newcastle on Saturday.
He might not have much experience in the ring as a pro, but IBF bantamweight challenger Paul Butler says his experience of sparring with Stuart Hall proved the titleholder can't hurt him.
IBF bantamweight titleholder Stuart Hall will make the second defense of his belt on June 7 in against unbeaten Paul Butler an all-British clash in Newcastle, England on June 7, promoters Frank Warren and Dennis Hobson announced on Monday.
Randy Caballero faces veteran Kohei Oba in an IBF bantamweight title eliminator on Friday in Japan. The Southern California standout spoke with RingTV.com about the biggest fight of his pro career, his amateur accomplishments and Nicaraguan heritage.
British standout Stuart Hall retained his IBF bantamweight title via anticlimactic technical draw in a bout with countryman Martin Ward in Newcastle, England on Saturday. The official time was 0:35 seconds of Round 2.
This Saturday an all British IBF bantamweight title bout will be contested between champion Stuart Hall and challenger Martin Ward in Newcastle, England, while a third British star, Jamie McDonnell, lurks ominously in the background.

The Amanda Todd case is a local example of cyberbullying with tragic consequences. On September 7, 2012, the 15 year old teen from Coquitlam, BC posted a YouTube video that features a series of handwritten cue cards depicting her "never ending story" as a victim of blackmail, cyberbullying, physical assault and self-harm. Tragically, Amanda Todd's story ended in suicide.
What behaviors constitute "cyberbullying"?
Unfortunately, the definition of cyberbullying is not as narrow as some would like; the scope and forms of cyberbullying are quite wide. These include (but are not limited to) stalking behaviours, threats, harassment, impersonation, outing, or 'doxxing' (publication of personal information, generally for witch-hunting purposes).
The Cyberbullying Research Centre offers a useful definition of cyberbullying as:
"the willful and repeated harm inflicted through the use of computers, cell phones, and other electronic devices." They go on to highlight the important elements of this definition:
* Willful: The behavior has to be deliberate, not accidental.
* Repeated: Bullying reflects a pattern of behavior, not just one isolated incident.
* Harm: The target must perceive that harm was inflicted.
* Computers, cell phones, and other electronic devices: This, of course, is what differentiates cyberbullying from traditional bullying. (Excerpt from: Cyberbullying.org/What Is Cyberbullying?)
What can I do about it?
If you think you are being harrassed online, here are the Cyberbullying Research Centre's Top 10 Tips for Responding to Cyberbullying.
If you need to follow-up with an online service provider, here is a helpful list of contacts.
If you think you might be a cyberbully, take this quiz to find out where you are headed.
How does it impact on my digital identity?
Think about what it says about you if someone were to read a mean tweet that you sent in haste or a facebook post intended to be hurtful to a person or group of people. Queen's University students make a powerful statement about diversity in their reading of mean tweets on Facebook.
Would you want to befriend that person? If you were hiring someone, would you want to hire that person? Would you want that person to care for your kids or date your best friend?
On the other side of the line, bullying victims who take back their power and use a public form to educate a bully, can have a lasting and positive impact. Consider our story about Balpreet Kaur, responding to a potentially nasty Reddit thread or a recent (Dec, 2015) story about an east coast student's response to cyberbullying that went viral. Ask the same questions above about these women.

Flix on Stix Skips the DVDs, Puts Movies on Your USB Flash Drive
While going into a store and finding a DVD or Blu-ray to rent may not be what's popular anymore, other services like Netflix and Hulu are seeing quite the attraction, thanks to the fact that you don't actually have to go anywhere other than your computer, TV, or maybe as far as your mailbox to watch a movie. Then, there's services like Redbox that allow you to rent a movie for cheap, on a daily rate, and then return it back to the kiosk when your'e finished with it. But, Flix on Stix wants to take that idea, and make it a bit more useful for those who may not want an actual DVD to take home, or have to worry about returning it.

Opinion: Crime and moral evasion at the Bolshoi Ballet | Dance reviews, news & interviews
Opinion: Crime and moral evasion at the Bolshoi Ballet
Charged dancer won't apologise to acid victim as he "didn't order the acid"
So the man who specialises in dancing Bolshoi ballet villains has been arrested and confessed to the infamous attack on his boss, Sergei Filin. But today Pavel Dmitrichenko, well-known to Bolshoi audiences for playing Ivan the Terrible, one of Russia's more pitiless Tsars, showed an equally Tsarist haughtiness when he made his first appearance in a Moscow court. He had nothing to apologise for, he said, even though it's emerging that at the very least Filin, a 42-year-old father of three, will never see normally again and his future employment must be in doubt.
Dmitrichenko insisted it wasn't his fault. He didn't mean for acid to be chucked at Filin - that was a step more than he'd paid £1,000 for. He just wanted him beaten up. Things can get out of hand when you pay a Moscow hood, obviously.
The wiry, beady-eyed dancer of 29, who has had a successful and prominent career in the Bolshoi's more tyrannical roles (pictured right as Ivan the Terrible, © Bolshoi Theatre), was refused bail and remanded in custody till April while charges are prepared and investigations continue. In the dock alongside him are Yuri Zarutsky, 35, who carried out the attack, and Andrei Lipatov, the driver hired by Zarutsky to take him from his suburb into central Moscow to Filin's home on the night of 17 January.
Dmitrichenko's story in court was that Zarutsky, who police say has a criminal record, was to blame for the worst atrocity and it appears that the dancer's legal team may attempt to get him charged with a lesser offence. The Bolshoi soloist stood unrepentantly by his onslaught on Filin, who he claims had insulted his girlfriend, a young ballerina, and denied her the roles she deserved. He also claimed that his boss was involved in a Bolshoi management system of corrupt payments to control performers' outside appearances, which he himself had attempted to expose by hacking email and other methods. He had then decided to try to "scare" Filin.
What everyone wants to know is why, if Dmitrichenko only ordered a smashed nose and broken teeth, the hired hand Zarutsky took it further to permanent disfigurement and possible blindness. Was it his own idea, Dmitrichenko's instruction - or someone else's? After all, the court was told, he prepared car battery acid to ensure it would be more destructive. This is rather more cold-blooded and considered than a mere beating-up.
The dancer admitted he knew Zarutsky beforehand and had sat with him in a cafe in a Moscow suburb discussing how to take revenge on Filin. Zarutsky had suggested beating Filin up, and "striking him on the head", to which Dmitrichenko agreed. He paid him 50,000 rubles (about £1,100). When he later heard that sulphuric acid had been used, he said, "I was in shock."
Yesterday some Bolshoi dancers were equally in shock at the accusations against Dmitrichenko. Elements of his anti-Filin campaign - the falsification of a Facebook page, the hacking of emails, silent phone calls to his home and slashing of car tyres - were dismissed as "normal adventurism and mischief" in the phrase (translated) of one colleague who, like many others, disbelieved that the impulsive, hot-headed Dmitrichenko could hatch and plan something as cold-hearted as an attempt to maim and blind.

Creating templates[edit]
Hi - You asked about creating templates. Looking at your contributions today, it would appear you've figured it out. Do you still need any help? -- Rick Block (talk) 00:50, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
- Hi. I kinda figured it out myself. Thanks anyway for asking. Shinas 10:12, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
- Yar Shinas. I am so sorry about this but I am coming back after SUCH a long time. I dont remember how to edit this.
I would be very thankful if you could make the necessary changes.
Sorry, I somehow overlooked your message. Really, I'm not sure how to best go about creating maps for Pakistan, although it's probably easier than a world map, because you don't have to worry much about map projections. If you have a fairly detailed map of Pakistan (such as this, or similar), that can show you the borders (ideally checking multiple maps). If you have a graphics program that supports multiple layers (eg Paint Shop Pro or GIMP), you can use this to compare your map with theirs as you draw it. You could, in fact, simply "trace" a map of Pakistan using these programs — set the source maps as background, create a transparent layer over the top, and draw your own map over them. (Since you want a PNG map rather than SVG, no need to worry about vector graphics.) If you need to know the exact colour specifications for the grey, its RGB values are all 185 with an alpha of 255 — or, in hex, the colour is b9b9b9.) However, I'm not sure that these colours are still "officially approved" — you might want to check around about that. Hope that helps. -- Vardion 22:51, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
- Hi — yes, that map looks fine to me. Nice work. -- Vardion 21:40, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
- Hi. Usually, you can use an image on Commons the same way as you use an image uploaded to the English Wikipedia — just using [[Image:BlankMap-Pakistan.PNG]] should do it. However, if there's a file of the same name on the English Wikipedia, I think it overrides the one on Commons — I think you need to get rid of the first image in order for the second one to work, but I don't know what the process for that is. (Or, you could upload the newer image to Commons under a different file name, I suppose). -- Vardion 19:37, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Whether you ride a moped or scooter to get around town, or are a serious motorcycle enthusiast, it's worth thinking about ways you could reduce the cost of your motorcycle insurance.
Having done your Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) it's worth attending a course with a Driving Standards Agency (DSA) approved instructor and preparing to pass your test. Once you have a full licence you are likely to see a reduction in your motorcycle insurance premium.
If you're over 21 and have a full motorcycle licence you can take an advanced motorcycling test. Tests are offered by organisations like the Institute of Advanced Motoring (IAM) and the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA).
The IAM's Advanced Motorcycling Test examines your ability to ride your motorcycle safely in a variety of situations, like riding on motorways, country lanes and in city traffic. Insurers and brokers may offer you a discount on your premium if you've passed this, or a similar, recognised motorbike test.
If you ride safely by following the Highway Code you are likely to reduce your chances of being involved in an accident. This could improve your chances of earning a no-claims discount when you come to renew your motorbike insurance.
Staying within the speed limit will not only help you to stay on the right side of the law, it should also help you to keep the cost of your insurance premium down. A speeding conviction is likely to mean higher insurance costs.
Insurers will ask where you keep your motorcycle at night when you request a quote. If you keep it in a locked garage this may gain a lower premium.
When you compare motorcycle insurance quotes it's important to compare like with like. If you're looking at quotes with similar prices make sure you compare the excesses that apply to each policy.
It's also important to look at the benefits or options a policy offers. Think about what you need cover for. If you decide you need cover for injuries you may suffer in a bike accident look for a policy offering personal accident cover. If you're interested in taking your bike on a tour of Europe, look for a policy which extends cover to the EU for the period you need.
Enjoy exclusive discounts and access to once-in-a-lifetime events

Best photo I've seen in a long time. This is perfection.
That means a hell of a lot coming from you, PF. Thanks a bunch, man. I'm still waiting on some more shots from you of the upper Green River!
No problem, it's well deserved! Cascade Canyon is one of my favorite places and I've never seen it look so good as it does here. I'll see if I have anything else from the Green River, but I have to admit that trip was pretty unproductive photographically.
This may be your best or at least one of them. The comp is perfect and that light is to die for. The only thing I wish this image had was a bit more sky. I think you could crop some of the bottom as well, but that is just personal preference. This is really great.
I'm awfully proud of this one. Been wanting to shoot Cascade Canyon in that kind of light for a really long time. Everything worked out. On the composition - everything is just too big in Cascade Canyon. I focused more on the foreground than the sky because there just wasn't any drama there. The sky was absolutely clear all four days along the crest of the range. Couldn't have asked for better hiking weather, however, photography weather...not so much. The color on the peak came from thick wildfire smoke in the air. Thanks for the kind words and the advice, htd, you always give some of the best!
This is a place I will definitely put on my list. With some crazy skies and maybe a wider lens (or even do a pano) you could have one wicked shot, but that is asking for too much isn't it haha.
Fantastic capture! Great light and composition. Well done!

/this sounds like the answer to my need to find a homemade Horchata that is delicious and I can't wait to try it. Thanks for putting it in.
I loved this recipe. The finished drink is so light and refreshing. I had to halve the ingredients since I didn't have a large capacity blender, but that was very easy to do. Thank you for this recipe.
