Huge thanks to Will for crossing off another huge want on my list. This one immediately gushed with the pop of the cork, but luckily too much beer wasn't lost before we were able to pour it into our glasses. It's a light orange-y, pale straw, pear-ish kind of color that's completely and utterly opaque. The white head is volatile, fizzy, and loud, and is literally wiped from existence within seconds of the pour.
Wow, the aroma is quite unlike anything I've smelled before. Eccentrically citrusy, with reminders of orange and lemon, but there's a nebulous fruitiness that I have yet to encounter - must be the persimmons. I haven't had a persimmon before, but smelling this beer really makes me want to go out and find one. Because if they smell like this, they must be good.
I love the pureness of the aroma; it smells like you're walking through a ripe patch of fruit. Highly authentic, and I don't even know what persimmon smells like. Ripe fruit skins, mild sweetness, a hint of tart acidity, and a faint underbrushing of grass that really ties everything together. At this point, I'm not getting much (if any) funk or Brett, but the fruit aspect is enough to blow me away.
The taste is miles ahead of the aroma in terms of perceivable sourness, but it still remains decadent and easy to swallow without puckering your ass or burning a hole in your stomach lining too much. It's incredibly fruity, again with that somewhat uncharted flavor that I can only assume must be from the persimmon. Digging deeper reveals some orange and pear, too.
Once the tartness calms a bit and the raw fruitiness begins to wind down, the oak becomes noticeable with just a light hint of Bretty funk and a touch sweetness in the undercurrent. This creates a nice, dry, and savory finish that gives the perfect closure to a fantastically fruity, juicy, tart, and lightly sweet beer, much unlike the series finale of The Sopranos. Effervescent on the palate, thin bodied and crisp, carbonated pretty heavily.
This was the first time my body has ingested any form of persimmon or even persimmon flavor, and it was quite delicious. I can't help but feel that I'll be let down once I get my hands on the actual fruit itself. Persimmon Lambic is so delightfully pure and raw by nature, though, and sour fanatics will have no trouble enjoying this beer. Makes me want the rest of the Upland Lambic series now.

Bottled 3/15/11. Sampled alongside the other seven fruit lambics.
A: Pours a lightly hazy lemon color with a short lived fizzy bright white head.
S: This just reeks of persimmon…and Japanese food? I'm getting something that reminds me of seaweed, but you know what, this smells awesome. Faint citrus as well.
T: Persimmon all the way with hints of citrus. Tartness and biting acid are right there as well. Very unique flavors.
M: Frothy carbonation, medium body, very bubby slick mouthfeel.
O: One of the best of the seven and just a uniquely flavored beer all-around. Worth checking out.

Two groups will meet at noon Friday at Cherry Creek State Park to mark the first anniversary of the Aurora movie theater massacre — one will remember those killed by guns, and the other will rally to support the Second Amendment.
Mayors Against Illegal Guns will hold a remembrance at the park for the victims of gun violence, Mayors Against Illegal Guns outreach and policy associate Stephen Barton said.
"It's an opportunity for the community to come together and remember the 12 who were killed and 70 others injured," said Barton, who was shot in the neck and wounded by shrapnel when a gunman opened fire July 20, 2012, during a midnight showing of "The Dark Knight Rises."
The remembrance event begins at noon at the Smoky Hill Shelter. Victims of gun violence and family members of some who were killed in the theater shooting will address the crowd and read the names of gun violence victims from across the country. The roll call is expected to end at 12:38 a.m. Saturday, to mark to official moment when gunshots were fired inside the Century Aurora 16.
Windsor-based Rocky Mountain Gun Owners has planned a counter-rally at noon Friday at the Smoky Hill Shelter.
"We'll be answering Mayor Bloomberg," Rocky Mountain Gun Owners executive director Dudley Brown said.
New York mayor Michael Bloomberg organized and funds Mayors Against Illegal Guns. The organization lobbied for stricter gun controls nationally and in Colorado, where four initiatives passed in the last legislative session, including limits on ammunition magazine size and universal background checks.
The gun owners' gathering will be a "peaceful counter-rally to tell big city gun-grabber Bloomberg to keep his hands off of our Constitutional rights," according to the organization's Facebook page.
State parks officials said participants in both rallies will need to pay the $9 per car gate fee to enter.

In May 1997, Harold Duren purchased the old City Pharmacy on the northeast corner of the square as a shop for his handmade wooden furniture. However, the first people to knock on his doors weren't furniture customers; they were residents who wanted to know if he would continue to operate the popular soda fountain in the store.
Eight businesses in Newton County were honored for their contribution to the economic engine of the region. Georgia Governor Sonny Purdue designated April 12 – 16 as Manufacturing Appreciation Week. Newton County Government, the City of Covington, the Covington/Newton Chamber of Commerce and DeKalb Technical College partnered to honor manufacturing at a local luncheon on June 8.

The company also boasts a certified Briggs & Stratton Master Service Center.
One of the company's prospective products is the Hustler Zeon, the world's first all-electric zero-turn riding mower. Released in 2008, the Zeon won the Popular Mechanics Breakthrough Award in 2009 and was also listed in the magazine's Top 10 ...
Ken and Teri Justice began physically building their long-time dream last year and today the construction phase of Cottonwood Farm is very nearly complete.
SKC Inc. has so much going on at its Covington manufacturing plant that it celebrated both a groundbreaking and a ribbon cutting Tuesday. Local politicians and SKC leaders broke ground on a photovoltaic films plant, part of its continuing efforts to expand in the solar power industry. The total investment is expected to be $50 million, and the first line is expected to be running in September 2011. The second phase will start after 2013. Around 100 new people could be hired in the first phase according to documentation on site.

Secular Fraternity
Steve Silver I am Jewish. I am in a fraternity. (No, mom, we don't drink alcohol, I promise.) But the Greek letters I wear are not AEPi, ZBT or Sammy. Some might call it blasphemy, but yes, I'm a Jew in a non-Jewish frat at Northwestern University – Beta Theta Pi to be exact. And the question I always hear the most is, "Why?" Especially for anyone who knows that my dad was in ZBT at the University of Pittsburgh. It seemed like a logical legacy. Heck, the national president of ZBT at the time I was rushing had just signed my brother's ketubah. In the end, however, I felt as if I was letting my Judaism define me too much. I did not want to choose a fraternity based on a religion that I only really loosely followed. I don't define myself solely by my religion. It's not the first thing I tell people when I meet them. "Hi, I'm Steve, I'm Jewish." No, I'm much more than that, so I wanted more than that from a fraternity. I didn't like how AEPi just relied on the fact that they were a Jewish frat to recruit new members. What else do you have to offer? Great, we can pray together, but I can do that with you at Hillel anyway if I want. What about parties, intramural sports, the condition of your house, the quality of the girls hanging around (hey, I can't lie, it was a factor), etc, etc. When it came down to ZBT, which is a largely successful house at NU, I just didn't feel right with the guys. Part of me felt like everyone was too much like me. I wanted to branch out and meet people as different from me as possible. Yes, my best friend in the house is a Jew from Atlanta, but my Beta roommate last year was from El Salvador. I guess I just never really thought of my Greek association in "Jewish" terms before. Jewish, black, white, Hispanic, etc. To me it never mattered. I found the group of guys I liked hanging around most, and I joined. At NU, Beta is truly one of the more diverse fraternities on campus, but nationally it is still a very anti-Semitic clan. When I went to visit Michigan for a football game last year, I was quickly warned by some of my friends in Ann Arbor not to drop by the Beta house, because their nickname is "Beta Hate A Jew." Sure this bothered me quite a bit, but every fraternity and sorority has a different reputation on every campus. I chose Beta because of its reputation on my campus. For the record, I've visited Betas at nearly a dozen different campuses, and I've never run into an anti-Semitic problem. Now that I am in my senior year, I can honestly tell myself and perspective new members that I am extremely pleased with my decision to join a non-Jewish fraternity. The one thing I can't profess, however, is that it was always easy to be in the minority of my fraternity. Playful joking around the dinner table about people's race, skin color or religion never bothered me. I actually think it made some of us closer. If you can joke with someone without them getting mad, then you've built a pretty good relationship. I did, however, encounter several serious anti-Semitic problems. My fraternity brothers took jokes too far or made hateful remarks in a completely serious manner. One time it even led to a physical confrontation. In my mind, though, I wasn't shocked that people still harbored negative feelings toward Jews, but I was more astounded that a 20-something from an upper-middle class background at a school like NU could be so hateful. Although the situations really angered and saddened me, I did learn and grow from them – certainly experiences I never would have had in a Jewish fraternity. But there are ten times more positive than negative aspects of being a Jew in a non-Jewish fraternity. I love it when my brothers ask me about holidays or want to try matzah. Some have even come to services with me. It's a learning process, and we are all helping each other become better citizens of the world by doing this. And I think more and more freshmen are catching on. When I joined Beta, there were maybe three Jews in the house. Now I think we have about a dozen. I'm not going to lie, it takes some guts to put yourself in an even more magnified minority situation by joining a non-Jewish fraternity, but in the end it will be well worth it. Plus, why not try something new? Wouldn't life be boring if you only hung around Jews? Okay, maybe not boring, but you'd probably have more headaches from the constant kvetching. Steve Silver is a senior at Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism. He is the former president of NU Hillel's Jewish Greek Council. [Posted 10/12/07] |

The Energy Independence Security Act of 2007 (EISA) becomes law December 19, 2010. A portion of EISA covers induction motors from 1-500 hp. It's safe to say most end users will be affected.
What does EISA have to do with calculating true motor efficiency? More than you would think. At some point, you'll need to replace a motor covered by EISA. Replacing it with a duplicate that meets the new law would seem to make perfect sense. Not so fast! Before rushing a purchase order through, take time to determine:
To clarify: Yes, you'll improve overall efficiency around two efficiency points by replacing a standard efficient motor with a new EISA premium efficient model. There's much more to be gained, however, by making a few calculations.
Motor nameplate data doesn't identify precise motor efficiency—only a range as defined by NEMA. An induction motor is highly efficient when operating close to its rated torque and speed, but it still has five major components of loss: iron loss, copper loss, frictional loss, windage loss and sound loss. Together, they add up to the total loss of the motor.
Frictional, windage and sound losses are constant, independent of shaft load and typically very small. The major losses are from iron and copper. Iron loss is essentially constant and independent of shaft load, while copper represents a I2R loss, which is shaft-load dependent. Since iron loss is voltage-dependent, it will reduce with reducing voltage.
Most electric motors are designed to run at 50% to 100% of rated load, with maximum efficiency usually near 75%. Thus, a 10 hp motor has an acceptable load range of 5 hp to 10 hp, with peak efficiency at 7.5 hp. Motor efficiency tends to decrease dramatically below about 50% load. The range of good efficiency, however, varies with individual motors and tends to extend over a broader range for larger units. A motor is considered under-loaded when it's in the range where efficiency drops significantly with decreasing load. Throw in a poor motor rewind, and you could have a far-less-efficient motor than the nameplate data indicates.
It is also a well-known fact that motor pumping systems (most pumps are motor-driven) operate at less than 40% efficiency. Clearly, there's an opportunity to save additional energy by reducing the size of the motor.
Keep these points in mind when you set out to calculate true motor efficiency:
If your company tracks energy savings and justifies projects based on documented payback, evaluating your motor performance/load is important. Help is out there. Several commercially available devices will do these calculations for you. If you don't have the resources within your plant to make the calculations, contact a local EASA (Electrical Apparatus Service Association) shop that offers
this service. UM

The Perfect Name
No, I'm not expecting, but thinking about names is so fun! I've pored over tons and tons of names, yet I can't seem to find that one name. Now that I've gathered all of the name advice, I've come up with criteria of the perfect name to me.
-cannot start with n
-cannot end with -anna, -ana, -ina, -elle, or -ette
-not too frilly
-has strength
-elegant and timeless
-soft, pretty sounding
-mostly traditional
-traditional spellings over alternative
-vintage, but also heard in modern times as well
-not too "old lady"
-not too "soccer mom"
-not too boring like Ann or Mary
-looks good on an application
-recognized by other cultures around the world (for example Anne and Rose)
-a bit of an exotic twist (like Anya), but not too much (like Leilani)
-neither too popular nor too unique
-shouldn't have only one nickname possible (Madison only has Maddy)
-shouldn't have bad nicknames (like Betsy for Elizabeth)
-shouldn't have bad connotation or history
-shouldn't sound Southern (like Charlotte, Evangeline, Georgia, etc.)
-most importantly, should fit her at any age
Some names that I've gotten closest to my "rules" are Rose, Anya, Lily, and Catherine. Can anybody help me find the perfect name? Anything would be much appreciated.
By the way, don't take it too personally if I've described one of your favorite names as boring or Southern, or whatever. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion.

No kidding you can't find 'the one'. All but 2 of your "rules" are subjective, so I don't find it helpful at all in terms of making suggestions.
Ignore the list- which names make your heart flutter? That's really the only place you can start in order to find 'the one'.
If it weren't for your "rules", would Catherine, Lily, Anya, and Rose still be your top names?Lucia

very nice. to really understand the box squat Louie Simmons describes it and why its better than the squat for atheletes
Follow me on facebook, twitter and youtube, where I share information and videos to help you achieve your physique goals, John Smeton Ftness
a good vid.. adds some pleasure to the pain of squatting!

Yeah, Dave Tate trained with Louie Simmons at Westside Barbell for quite some time.
Here is a link to a little bit about Dave in his own words...
Strongest On The Market
RECOVERBRO: Est. Post #3222
quite some time is right... Tate started at WSB until he ventured out on his own, but he still uses WSB for his seminars.
Though I wonder why CF is venturing to the Powerlifting world to learn techniques when I thought that CF followed the ideas of Mark Rippetoe and his "Starting Strength"... not complaining... i like seeing the open mindedness
they've been venturing into power lifting and dave tate for a loooong time. They like to reach out and grab the best parts of everything.
Dave is obviously an authority on power lifting and hence is a good person to reach out to. Mark does olympic lifts. both compliment each other, but are not always the same, but like I said can work together.
Comparing powerlifting and olympic lifting is a bit like comparing apples to oranges and as CF says their specialty is not specializing... constant and varied etc, etc.
Strongest On The Market
RECOVERBRO: Est. Post #3222
Forgot who the trainer was but everyone at his gym or who he trains is squatting 800lbs+ np and he swears by boxsquats. The only time they do normal squats is for competition and they say its np.
Really wish I knew the video/trainer its like a 50min long ceminar of him expalining stuff. Awesome video.

RECOVERBRO: Est. Post #3222
I read that article a long time ago, have been making box squats a huge part of my routine. Dave actually goes as far to say that they are so good, regular squats can be totally replaced by them. also notice how her toes are curled up, to ensure she drives off the heels. Perfect form for a perfect little number!!
the one thing i was wondering though... I was under the impression that upon seating you are have to release all the tension to truly break the eccentric/concentric- was I wrong in this?
You release tension in the hips, not in the entire body. Your back should stay tight. Box squats are good, but not the end all be all. I actually pretty much use them exclusively when i am squatting because with my giraffe like body i have much better form to a box than without.

"Gamey" tasting meat is the direct result of poor handling. As soon as you drop that buck, Mother Nature goes to work and starts breaking it down. The secret to slowing the process is easy, just follow the "two Cs": Clean it. Cool it. And do it quickly.
The Game Fresh System includes everything you need to keep meat as fresh as possible from the field to the processor or taxidermist, starting with FreshFx® Game Wash. Once you've dressed and cleaned the animal, spray it with FreshFx Antimicrobial Spray to kill food-born pathogens. Then, place it in the Trophy Bag Kooler as soon as possible, placing several frozen 2-liter bottles of KoolerGel inside the body cavity.
In addition to quickly cooling the core temp of the animal, the specially formulated KoolerGel is re-usable and stays colder longer than conventional ice. After that, the Trophy Bag Kooler's thermal radiant barrier and anti-microbial liner takes over, keeping your kill at the perfect 36°F to 40°F temp while also controlling mold, mildew and bacteria.
Its 600-denier polyester shell has the durability to last for years, too. And best of all, the Trophy Bag Kooler is made right here in the USA! For the best solution to transporting game from the field to the processor or taxidermists, make it the Trophy Bag Kooler Game Fresh System!
System includes:
State Size and Camo Pattern, as available in Shopping Cart below. The first step to great tasting meat!

DHA and X-Linked Retinitis Pigmentosa
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- Study Results

- How to Read a Study Record
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is characterized by progressive loss of visual function due to specific genetic mutations. This trial is focused on patients with one of the most severe forms of the disease, X-linked inherited RP (XLRP). This disease is characterized by early onset (typically loss of night vision as a child) followed by loss of peripheral vision as a teenager and young adult. There is no male-to-male transmission of the disease in the family.
There is no cure for RP and treatment options are limited. Two clinical trials have not found a benefit from nutritional supplementation with the long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), at low daily doses although there is evidence that it slows disease progression in certain instances. In this clinical trial, we propose that a high dose nutritional DHA supplement will slow the loss of visual function and preserve usable vision in patients with XLRP.
This study is a 4-year placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial meaning that patients have a 50-50 chance of receiving placebo or experimental treatment. A total of 66 patients will be enrolled; 33 will receive placebo and 33 will receive the treatment. Entry criteria include diagnosis of XLRP by an ophthalmologist, age 7 to 32 years, male, sufficient visual function such that disease progression can be followed for the entire duration of the trial, and a willingness to visit the testing site (Dallas, TX) once a year.
Annual visual function testing includes ETDRS visual acuity, full-field and multifocal electroretinography (ERG), static peripheral visual fields, and fundus photography. Cone ERG function is the primary outcome measure.

Animated intro to The A lot of Loves of Dobie Gillis. Consists of countdown leader and "brought to you by Pillsbury" bumper. Re-upload: fixed sync issue.
Video Rating: 4 / 5
Dobie Gillis opening
25 Responses to "Dobie Gillis opening"
radioclash81 says:
I discovered this show on cable in the early 80′s–loved it. I named a black cat I had at the time Maynard.
racookster says:
I found this opening kinda scary as a kid, and I can still see why. Dobie looks like a creep, and I do believe a couple of those girls have cyclopia: one huge eyeball with two irises and pupils. Ewwww… The black limbo background doesn't help, either. The figures look ghostly. No wonder it creeped me out.
MagicalMysteryTube says:
@LosAngeleno1959 yep… that's the magic of music. Especially the great old TV themes, which were instantly identifiable and singable. They don't write that kind anymore.
Juliaflo says:
@pieword I totally second that motion.
Don't you just detest what is done to the closing credits on TV Land?
ignorecorporatenews says:
The show "77 Sunset Strip" needs to be released on DVD's !
John80220 says:
I wonder who it was at CBS or Fox that decided to dump the original pilot episode opening, featuring Dwayne Hickman and a group of live-action girls (including a fence-painting Yvonne Craig) and go with the animated one, which dumped the real-life girls but kept the fence.
DavelovesRealMusic says:
Where is the DVD release of this show–why was it never released to DVD?
yowzephyr says:
I remember watching this TV show as a kid. This opening seemed so innocent back then.
But damn. Look at 0:21. That guy is such an evil looking peeping Tom, isn't he? And then next that innocent, doe eyed girl looks so sweet and innocent….until she starts shaking her booty at 0:26. I mean what's up with that? (Dobie's dong, that's what.)
More booty at 0:29. More ass wagging at 0:31.
I was so naive in those days. I had no clue that the animator was thinking about fucking at every frame.
cap1900 says:
This is when health food was considered del'Monte canned peaches in heavy cream.
pieword says:
Nick at Night and TV Land started off great and then went down hill fast, they both stink now.
ilovetortillas says:
i wish nick at nite would go back to showing old classics like this. i used to watch all of this as a kid in the 80s.
b30307 says:
Yeah, the opening never really fit the show. The drawings of the girls were cool and very 50s – but portraying Dobie not as 17 and looking for a girlfriend, but some kinda creepy cartoon kid was misguided. Theme music was classic though. -
sgpollock says:
Loved this show! My favs growing up were 3 Stooges, Rascals, Maynard G Crebbs, Eddie Haskle and Pepe le Pew..no wonder I'm a mess!
kjbleu says:
@marioTmaggot – me too! Don't you wish TVLand actually showed old show like this instead of the BS they have on now?
tracispazz says:
i agree with mario. i loved this show. and f troop and my three sons.
MerleOberon says:
Gee, Dobie would be on the sexual predator's list now looking through a peephole!
Nash1a says:
Geez that is a little creepy, don't you think? That leer and peeping thur the hole in the fence? Having enjoyed the series, I find that intro just a little bizarre.
loocee95 says:
You mean you weren't entralled by Pillsbury?
They claim it added a loving touch….Hahahahahhaha!
noacronym says:
Ahhh…. a return to the pre-Liberalism days. How refreshing.
videoshirt says:
@marioTmaggot exactly man thats exactly what i'm saying
JubalCalif says:
Warren Beatty was a regular during the first half of the first season of this show. He played a stuck up rich guy. Wonder whatever happened to him….
karlakor says:
@chronocream I thought the same thing you did. Dobie did impress me as being a pervert, peeking through a knothole. Of course, I never thought that when the series originally aired.

...a quick lunch using the salad stuff I already had on hand. I had some blogs I needed to write this evening that I hadn't gotten to today, so an easy dinner was in order.
I decided on lentil soup and side salads. I love lentils because they are so filling and healthy, and lentil soup is a great hearty meal that I feel good about eating. Now, I'm off to finish up my work!

I like how you spam up with images, especially as the reason for not posting the entries was to not part the introduction up too much, especially with some of the images people have made....
Eeeeerrrrrrr...Sorry Cen...
But of course, that might be what you want, being the debt slave of Vise/Zlith for a round or two.
Maybe don't give them that option...

Am I the only one being confused by a person writing that, when he is not even in the trials? Like really odd?

That you seem to find it hilarious might end up being really bad for you, considering how many slaves Vise has, and how good he is in a play of cards. Since you do not know what the trials are going to be, I would say it is quite risky making jokes about one character, when Strop can implement these jokes into the game as easy as I type this. But of course, that might be what you want, being the debt slave of Vise/Zlith for a round or two.
Wouldn't that require my character to play cards against him, after doing research on how to cheat at card games?(thats in real life)Especially since I never gamble though?
Look originally what I said was true:
hey zlith just be glad the picture did not for some reason look like this instead
In a weird way I was trying to make him feel better...it may not have worked....but you get my point right?
It wasn't until I read that that I noticed he was not a contestant...or victestant...which ever...interesting...
Posted Aug 27, '09 at 3:55pm
Does not really have to be gambles, but was just a bit of a warning, though I hardly believe Strop would implement it.
Yes, but considering the different expressions from people, I think it worked out rather bad. And it was just an outlet more or less. I am rather thin skinned when it comes to stuff like that.

But srsly, I hope to have it done within the next few hours. Drawing the last stretch now.
You know, Zlith now reminds me of Hiruma from the manga Eyeshield 21.

Arum sees KO ending
By Beth CelisPhilippine Daily Inquirer
Top rank promoter Bob Arum believes this fourth fight between Filipino icon Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel "El Dinamita" Marquez will be different than the first three.
Arum thinks each will be giving his all for a knockout and nothing else.
According to Arum, this is because both do not trust the decision of the judges.
"In the first three fights, it was only Marquez who was complaining about the officials. Now, after the Tim Bradley fight, when everybody, including Manny, saw himself winning it easily, and it goes the other way, now Manny is troubled about the officials."
"You have two fighters who don't trust the judges and they're going to take it in their own hands.
"You're going to see two guys fight aggressively and go for a knockout. It means that Marquez is going to forget about counter punching and go after and attack Manny. Marquez feels he has enough strength now, that he can take out Pacquiao. It's not going to be anything like the first three fights," Arum was quoted by Alex Groberman in the Philboxing website.
Arum's point can't be stressed enough. Any sense of comfort that Pacquiao may have had about getting an extra push from the judges is gone now. He has to go all out—just like Marquez. That is what could make this bout different from the first three, Groberman said.
"What do you think?" He teases the readers. "Will this one end with a KO? Or are both men physically incapable of downing each other at this point in their careers?"
* * *
En route to Las Vegas from Los Angeles, Pacquiao revealed to scribes covering the fight that he was going to unleash a "secret strategy" which he and trainer Freddie Roach have devised.
However, he would not give the slightest hint of what it was. Maybe they've found an antidote to El Dinamita's right lead which they were unable to solve in the first three fights.
* * *
This one is for the books. Can you imagine a basketball coach being ejected from the playing court only three or so minutes into the game?
How can temperatures rise to boiling point after only three minutes of play?
"And how can I be thrown out of a championship game only for asking a legitimate question," lamented the aggrieved coach Allan Gregorio of the UPIS, who was slapped a technical by Nabro referee Felix Sanchez for pointing out a travelling infraction by a player from the opposing San Beda team.
"For asking why I was charged with the first technical, I was slapped with a second technical and thrown out," added Allan.
He felt better when Ato Badolato, commissioner of the St. Stephen's Invitationals, apologized in behalf of the referee then banned him from officiating future UPIS games.
"There's no room for arrogant referees in the sporting world," said Allan.

Congratulations to former POC president Celso "Cito" Dayrit for being reelected president of the Fencing Confederation of Asia (FCA) during its general assembly held recently in Bali, Indonesia.
Dayrit, who will be on his third term, is the longest serving fencing confederation president in all the continents in the world. He assumed the presidency in 2004 and ran unopposed in all three elections.
During his watch, fencing in Asia gained tremendous popularity, the number of federations significantly increased and the sport's performance in international competitions improved.
"Asian fencers won four of the 10 gold medals at stake in the London Olympic Games, Asia's most successful showing in any Olympics. Asia has now emerged the strongest fencing continent after Europe, overtaking the Americas," Cito said.

Put on Your Yarmulke...
Sarah Goldfarb Although it may not be the most politically correct song, no one can resist singing along to Adam Sandler's "Hanukkah Song." Ever wondered whether Sandler's song is factually correct? I dug up the truth on the Jewish roots of the stars mentioned in his festive song. "David Lee Roth lights the Menorah" -- Although it may be a surprise that the former lead singer of Van Halen was in touch with his Jewish roots, in his 1998 autobiography, "Crazy From the Heat," Roth said that much of his band-life style and energy came from fury over anti-Semitism and an urge to crush Jewish stereotypes. Who would have thought that someone who sang "Hot For Teacher" had such socially conscious thoughts? "So do James Caan, Kirk Douglas and the late Dinah Shore-ah" -- Caan, best known for his role as Sonny Corleone in The Godfather, was born in 1940 to German-Jewish immigrants in The Bronx. According to online almanac infoplease.com, he is a horse-and rodeo-enthusiast, which has earned him the nickname "The Jewish Cowboy." I always thought that was an oxymoron.... Kirk Douglas, who was born Issur Danielovitch Demsky, said that as a teenage boy his family and neighbors wanted him to become a rabbi. In an interview on aish.com, he talked about how he lost touch of his religious side until later in his life after he survived a helicopter crash. Dinah Shore grew up in the '20s in Tennessee and often found herself taunted for being Jewish in the non-Jewish world of the segregated Deep South, according to her biography. That didn't stop her from becoming one of the most successful stars of early television. "Guess who eats together at the Carnegie Deli, Bowzer from Sha-na-na and Arthur Fonzarelli" -- For such a stupid band name (Sha-na-na) and an ever stupider pseudonym (Bowzer), Jon Bauman is a very smart Jew: He went to Juilliard and graduated from Columbia. Henry Winkler, who played "Happy Days" star "the Fonz," told the Jewish Journal that his secret weapon to getting through his career highs and lows was his Jewish upbringing. He has devoted much of his free time to social causes, both Jewish and secular. "'Cause you can spin the dreidel with Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock -- both Jewish" -- Captain Kirk, who is played by the famous William Shatner, has recently reconnected with his Jewish roots. He and his wife have made several trips to Israel and contribute to the Jewish National Fund, according to its Web site. Another Star Trek favorite, Mr. Spock, played by Leonard Nimoy, is openly connected with the Jewish community. Nimoy practices Reform Judaism, acted in "Fiddler on The Roof" and has narrated several Jewish documentaries, according to Wikipedia. "The owner of the Seattle Super sonic-ahs celebrates Hanukkah" -- Howard Schultz is one successful businessman -- not only does he own the Sonics, but Schultz is the chairman of Starbucks. Schultz is very active and vocal in the Seattle Jewish community and has raised a lot of money to protect Israeli citizens from terrorist attacks, according to The New York Times. "… But guess who is … Hall of Famer Rod Carew -- (he converted)" -- Carew, a former Minnesota Twins and California Angels player, allegedly received death threats after he announced his intention to marry a Jewish woman, much like Sammy Davis, Jr. Carew is from Panama. According to baseball-reference.com, Carew never actually converted, but his children were raised Jewish. "We get Ann Landers and her sister Dear Abby" -- The column queens -- twins Ann and Abby -- both grew up in a strict Jewish household and were daughters of Russian immigrants. Wondering why their names don't sound too Jewish? Ann's real name was Esther "Eppie" Pauline Friedman Lederer and Abby's is Pauline Esther Friedman, according to Chicago.about.com. So when you're the only kid in town without a Christmas tree, here's a detailed list of people who are Jewish, just like you and me. Sarah Goldfarb, who is originally from Ithaca, N.Y., is finishing up her senior year at Penn State where she is majoring in journalism and political science. Sarah is a member of Penn State Hillel, spends long hours at her college newspaper and wishes to soon find a copy editing job that hopefully pays well (an oxymoron, I know). [Posted 04/18/07] |

Learn About Nuclear Weapons and
AbolitionThe elimination of nuclear weapons is an achievable goal. The process that leads to nuclear weapons development and deployment is punctuated with choices and alternatives, and there are many possible inroads for change.Over 250 municipalities worldwide, 75 American Indian nations and five world regions, covering most of the Southern hemisphere have declared their jurisdictions as Nuclear Weapons Free Zones or Nuclear Free Zones. Abolition 2000 is a network of over 2000 non-governmental organizations and municipalities committed to a nuclear weapons-free world. These initiatives, begun by individuals, make a collective political statement and an economic commitment to investing in peaceful alternatives. On the global level, a detailed plan for the complete elimination of nuclear weapons has been laid out and circulated in the United Nations General Assembly in the form of a draft Nuclear Weapons Convention (NWC). |
Basic ToolsAbolition Archive |
DisarmamentIn the struggle for a nuclear weapons-free world, the elimination of existing arsenals is imperative. Under Article VI of the Non-Proliferation Treaty, states with nuclear weapons have an obligation to engage in good faith negotiations for nuclear disarmament and to pursue a treaty on general and complete disarmament. To achieve disarmament it is important that weapons are irreversibly destroyed in a transparent manner, and that the resulting fissile materials are sufficiently safeguarded. Though some arsenal reductions have been made through bilateral agreements and unilateral actions, There are still some 19,000 nuclear weapons in the world, mostly in arsenals of the US and Russia. Other countries with nuclear weapons arsenals are Israel, France, the United Kingdom, China, India, Pakistan and North Korea. Existing disarmament commitments made by the United States and Russia include the Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF) and the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START). |
Disarmament ArchiveOther Websites |
Nuclear FamineRecent peer-reviewed studies, done by atmospheric scientists Alan Robock (Rutgers), Brian Toon (University of Colorado-Boulder), Richard Turco (UCLA) and colleagues, predict that even a relatively "limited" nuclear war between India and Pakistan, in which each side uses 50 Hiroshima-sized nuclear weapons against the other's cities, could create immense firestorms that would quickly surround the planet with a dense stratospheric smoke layer. |
Nuclear Famine ArchiveOther Resources
Nuclear DeterrenceNuclear deterrence is the threat of nuclear retaliation for a proscribed behavior, generally an attack upon the threatening state. The theory of nuclear deterrence posits that such threat, if perceived as real and likely to cause sufficient devastation, will prevent an attack or other proscribed behavior from occurring. Each country that has developed nuclear weapons has justified doing so by the pursuit of nuclear deterrence. The security of not only the nuclear weapon states but of civilization has rested upon the reliability of the theory of nuclear deterrence. Vast numbers of people throughout the world believe the myth that nuclear deterrence contributes to the security of the planet and perhaps to their personal security and that of their family. But does it? Many experts think not. |
Deterrence ArchiveOther Resources
U.S. Nuclear Weapons PolicyUS government policies continue to rely on nuclear weapons for security. Plans for "modernizing" the nuclear weapons complex by building new nuclear warhead production facilities are moving ahead. The US has thus far failed to ratify the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, although a unilateral testing moratorium has been in place since 1992. |
U.S. Nuclear Weapons Policy Archive |
The Nuclear ThreatNuclear weapons pose a vast threat to our society and to the global environment. They are indiscriminate in nature and enough warheads exist to threaten human existence. The use of nuclear weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki clearly demonstrated the horrifically destructive powers of nuclear weapons. Most nuclear weapons deployed today have a destructive capacity many times greater than those used in 1945. |
The Nuclear Threat Archive |
Missile DefenseBallistic missile defense (BMD) systems are intended to destroy missiles of an adversary in flight. Such defense systems pose a significant obstacle to disarmament efforts because they create a perceived need for adversarial nations to expand their nuclear arsenals so as to be assured of being able to overcome the other's defense capabilities in the case of a nuclear attack.In the past, defense limitations went hand-in-hand with disarmament efforts. The Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, a bi-lateral agreement between Russia and the United States, significantly limited BMD systems and played an important role in negotiating significant cuts in nuclear arsenals. The ABM treaty however, was terminated in June 2002, six months after the United States indicated its intention to withdraw from the agreement, against Russia's wishes. Thus far, US National Missile Defense development programs have proven to be exorbitantly expensive and to have highly questionable effectiveness. |
Missile Defense ArchiveOther Resources |
Non-ProliferationNuclear non-proliferation refers to efforts to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons. This includes preventing countries or non-state actors (terrorists) that do not have nuclear weapons from obtaining them and stopping nuclear capable countries from enlarging their arsenals and developing new nuclear weapons technologies. The cornerstone of nuclear arms control is the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (1968). This treaty requires countries without nuclear weapons never to develop such weapons and nuclear capable countries to work towards complete nuclear disarmament. Members of the treaty meet every five years to review the status of the treaty commitments. Other existing non-proliferation efforts include the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, the Missile Technology Control Regime, and Nuclear Weapons Free Zones. |

YouTube to offer live streaming this year
In some cases it's not a bad thing to be fashionably late. Just ask Steve Chen, co-founder of YouTube.

Chen confirmed that live video was coming to the service in "2008" and that the company has wanted to feature it for some time, but have only recently been able to get the ball rolling because of having … Read more

Less than one week from the 2012 NFL season opener, the NFL Management Council and NFL Players Association have agreed to adopt 2012 Bylaw Proposals No. 2 and No. 6A, the NFL and NFLPA announced on Thursday.
Bylaw proposal No. 2 moves the trading deadline from Tuesday, October 16 – the Tuesday after Week 6 of the regular season – to Tuesday, October 30, the Tuesday after Week 8.
Bylaw proposal No. 6A permits clubs to re-activate one player from Reserve/Injured during the 2012 season, subject to certain restrictions.
Since this rule is being adopted after the cutdown to 75 players, for 2012 only, the NFL and NFLPA have agreed to a transition procedure that permits clubs to return to their 53-player active list one player placed on Reserve/Injured since the start of preseason training camp. This selection of that player must be made no later than 9:00 p.m. ET tomorrow, Friday, August 31.

So you want to write a blog for the American Numismatic Association? Writing for the internet isn't quite like writing a paper for school or an article for a magazine. Below are eight tips to get you started.
Plan before you write: Take five minutes before you start writing to plan your blog post. Jot down briefly what you want to write about. A quick, short sentence or bulleted list will work well.
Use your own words: Don't plagiarize. If you plan on doing some research for your blog post (which you should) and you find a cool fact, don't pass it off as your work. Give credit where it is due. (ie. John Smith writes in his book, Collecting World Coins, that coin collecting is the coolest hobby ever.)
Keep it short: Try to keep your posts between 300 and 500 words. If a post is too long you risk boring your readers. However, don't feel like this word count is set in stone. If you need to go a bit longer to make sure you thoroughly cover your topic, do it. Just don't go overboard and write a book.
Some good ways to keep your writing short: Stick to your topic. Don't pick a subject that is too broad to cover in 500 words. Instead of American paper money write about the $2 bill. If you can say something in five words instead of 10, pick the shorter one.
Scannability: Readers tend to scan blog posts rather than read them straight through. There are a few things you can add to make them stop and read what you have written.
Pictures: People love to look at pictures, so try and find one that relates to your topic. Be sure to credit your source.
(See? You looked, didn't you?)
Lists: A numbered or bulleted list is easy to read and a great format for a blog post.
Bolded words: A bolded phrase screams, "This is important, read me!" Be careful bolding words. If you bold too much it will lose its punch.
Links: If you find a neat website with more information on your topic, like how to write a scannable post, link to it in your post. That way you don't have to write about everything on your subject.
Get noticed: Top your blog post with a short, catchy headline. Not "The life and times of Roman Emperors and their coins," instead use "Roman currency and Julius Caesar."
Read what you just wrote: Once you finish writing your blog post take a minute to look over it. Read it out loud. It can be easier to find mistakes and awkward phrases when you hear the words you have written.
Spelling and grammar: Poor spelling and grammar deter readers and make you look less knowledgeable. Read through what you wrote one more time and check your spelling and grammar.
Have fun: Don't forget that writing a blog should be fun. Pick a topic you enjoy and have fun. We can't wait to read your posts!
- Lauren Springli

After I got the item dispatch text and email from DPD , I asked for my item to be left with a neighbour as I was working from home only part of the day (and therefore could be out when delivery was made). Instruction was acknowledge by text by DPD. I live on the ground floor of a block of flats, all fully connected via intercom to the main building door on a main road. I assumed delivery would not be an issue. Later that day received notification nobody was in to sign for the delivery, which surprised me a little (there's dozens of flats in the building).
Because I was at work for the rest of the week therefore not able to take delivery (and also now worried the same thing would happen the next day) I paid directly on the DPD website and upgraded to Saturday delivery (an additional £12 charge). I received an email confirming Saturday delivery and my payment reference confirming the transaction and left it at that. (There was no point checking my tracking details 4 days in advance).
Saturday morning arrived, I had received no text or time delivery confirmation (but my card had been charged) so checked the tracking page and it turned out my item had been returned to sender 1 day before that!
Contacted DPD immediately, the lady on the phone offered no explanation, couldn't understand why the item had been returned. Told me to contact the seller who provided me with a refund and told me to expect a call from DPD to apologise and issue a refund for the extra charge.
DPD have not contacted me at all, while I have received the refund, they have not said sorry or explained how they were able to take a payment for Saturday delivery and then not just fail to attempt delivery but actually return it to the sender! (all without notifying me in advance). Pretty shocked at the level of service.
Update 04/04/2012:
Pre-pay credit & apology received from Parcel2Go, I have updated my rating to reflect this.
Original review:
Very disappointed. Courier failed to turn up for a collection two days in a row. Both times no reason given by the online chat representative when I queried it. When I rebooked collection for the second attempt, I asked for the courier to be given my mobile number in case of any problems. I received no contact or an apology when I queried this second failure.
The online chat service is slow and they are very abrupt when dealing with you. I asked for a simple explanation why the courier had not shown up and they could not provide one, they just kept asking me to rebook my collection - pretty pointless.
Won't be using again.
