Ed Sheeran, Amber Rose + More Reenact 'Mean Girls' [VIDEO]
This is just so fetch: Amber Rose and a few friends, including Ed Sheeran, got together to reenact a scene from the 2004 movie 'Mean Girls.'
This is just so fetch: Amber Rose and a few friends, including Ed Sheeran, got together to reenact a scene from the 2004 movie 'Mean Girls.'
Waka Flocka Flame, Nicki Minaj and Tyga party, giggle and ogle some women in their 'Get Low' video, which is a fun, if not groundbreaking, clip for the catchy track.
After debuting his posthumous duet with Aaliyah, Drake entertained a sold-out crowd at his third annual OVO Fest in his hometown of Toronto on Sunday (Aug. 5). According to Billboard, a bevy of hip-hop luminaries joined the Canadian superstar onstage including Nicki Minaj, 2 Chainz, the Weeknd, Rick Ross and Waka Flocka Flame.
The hip-hop community have taken to Twitter to express their condolences in the wake of the horrible shooting that occurred at a movie theater in Aurora, Colo., on Friday (July 20). According to the Denver Post, a lone gu
Waka Flocka Flame enlisted some big hitmakers for his latest single 'Get Low.' The song features rhyme-spitters Nicki Minaj, Tyga and Flo Rida. If you are expecting to hear some rowdiness from the Atlanta rapper -- think again, this song is strictly for the ladies.
The steady tour grind is grueling for artists who are hitting 30 or more cities in a month. So what do artists do to unwind in between shows? Play sports, of course. In the case of J. Cole, 2 Chainz, Waka Flocka Flame and French Montana, they pull out the portable rim and play a round of basketball.
Waka Flocka Flame is ready to go hard in the paint for his homie Drake. The Atlanta rhyme-slinger is part of an all-star bill on the Young Money superstar's Club Paradise Tour, which kicks off its second leg next month.
Undoubtedly, the Tupac Shakur Hologram was the biggest spectacle at this year's Coachella Festival. While it gave some people the creeps, others saw it as an innovative achievement for hip hop. However, there's one person who didn't like the virtual performance at all -- Waka Flocka Flame.
We have known Wiz Khalifa as the coolest dude in the world, so it's surprising to hear that he's embroiled in a beef with Waka Flocka Flame. During an interview on MTV's RapFix Live, the 'Work Hard, Play Hard' rapper insist that he has no issues with the Brick Squad emcee.
Fashion mavens partied in style as Kanye West held his second-ever Paris Fashion Week after party in the city of love on March 6. The always dapper-rapper brought in an all-star of rhyme-spitters to rock the event including Waka Flocka Flame, Big Sean, Common and rising rap star Azealia Banks.


text: WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama's toughest sell on military strikes against Syria is persuading the first-term Republicans in the House. Many of the three dozen freshmen come from solidly GOP districts where voters have a deep distrust of the president. The freshmen barely know Obama, as his invitations to exclusive White House dinners have been to senators only. For these first-termers, their only brush with Obama came in March when he visited Capitol Hill to talk with all House Republicans. Today he's asking them to vote for war. Their reluctance highlights the president's daunting task in securing congressional approval. At least six freshmen have said they would vote against giving Obama the authority to use military force against Syria. Two have announced their support, and the rest remain undecided.(Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.)

The below photograph shows thick smoke billowing from the West Fork Complex Fire burning in southern Colorado.
The image was taken by an astronaut aboard the International Space Station on June 19, 2013.
NASA Earth Observatory says "The West Fork Complex is a combination of three fires: the West Fork fire, the Windy Pass fire, and the Papoose fire."
Lighting is blamed for igniting the first of the three fires.
The West Fork Complex fire is burning through beetle-damaged stands of spruce.
The stands of dead trees allowed the fire to burn hotter than the portions of healthy forest in the path of the flames.
NASA Earth Observatory says the fire burned "so hot that it spawned numerous pyrocumulus clouds—tall, cauliflower-shaped clouds that billowed high above the surface. Pyrocumulus clouds are similar to cumulus clouds, but the heat that forces the air to rise comes from fire instead of sun-warmed ground."
These clouds can inject the ashy smoke high into the atmosphere where winds can spread it far across the globe.
Satellite observations showed the smoke reaching European airspace by Monday, June 24th.

By JEFF MEYERS, Press-Republican
---- — GRAND ISLE, Vt. — Efforts to manage the quality of Lake Champlain are going well, but the lake continues to face many challenges in light of global climate change and other factors.
The Lake Champlain Basin Program released an updated version of its State of the Lake report Wednesday with dignitaries praising the collaborative effort in producing the study while cautioning that the job is far from completed.
"This is our best effort (to produce) a complete description of the current state of the lake, our best effort to summarize those points," said Bill Howland, program manager for the Basin Program.
"The biggest question we hear is, 'Is the lake getting better or worse?'" he added. "That is a hard question to answer. This (report) is our best effort to answer the question."
The report was released during a meeting at Gorden Center House on Grand Isle in Vermont, just north of the Grand Isle Ferry Dock.
The Basin Program utilized technical reports and statistics from dozens of scientists, researchers and government agencies from both sides of the lake and Canada, Howland noted.
The report looks at how human activities exert pressure on the lake, how the ecosystem is impacted by that pressure and what management responses are used to reduce negative impacts on the lake.
It also uses a color-coded scorecard to identify strengths and challenges throughout the five distinct regions of Lake Champlain.
"Each lake segment has its own story to tell," Howland said. "Most of Lake Champlain is in very good overall condition."
The section identified as the "main lake" contains 81 percent of the lake's water, and although phosphorus levels there are above acceptable goals, other environmental indicators for that section continue to hold their own.
Mississquoi Bay, located in the northeast corner of the lake and split by the Vermont/Canada border, is an area of special interest because it is a shallow, warm body of water and receives a lot of agricultural runoff, which is a prime contributor of phosphorus, a nutrient that promotes algae and other plant growth in the lake.
Daniel Leblanc, minister of development for the Quebec Department of Parks and the Environment, described Quebec's efforts to reduce agricultural runoff and noted the positive results in decreased phosphorus levels in the Pike River, a historically high phosphorus contributor to the basin.
Stephen Perkins of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Region 1 praised the cooperative effort from all participants in creating a thorough 2012 document.
"Some areas continue to hold the line on phosphorus, and some areas continue to need work," he said. "The EPA is in it (to support local and regional efforts) for the long run."
David Mears, commissioner of the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation, said the collaborative efforts of all stakeholders were making a big difference in the lake's overall success.
Deb Markowitz, secretary for the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources, also cited a team effort in creating the report and praised the Basin Program for bringing important information to the community in language the public can understand.
"Seeing the number of people in this historic building is truly a sign of how important Lake Champlain is to all of us," she said of Wednesday's meeting. "Our goal is to actually get things done for the lake. Unless we can get information out to the public, we're not going to be moving forward.
She also praised the support received from executive leaders in both states and Quebec, where changes in leadership have not lessened the emphasis of managing the lake properly.
The 40-page report focuses on water quality, fish and wildlife, invasive species and human health. It also has a section on the 2011 flooding and impact from Tropical Storm Irene, including information on how those events had unique impacts on the lake.

Carousel not displaying images in Drupal
A new client has recently transferred their web hosting to me with a view to a site redesign in the near future. The site is built on Drupal, a system I have no experience with.
The changeover went fairly smoothly. The only issue we encountered was with images on the News stories and the home page carousel. We discovered a solution for the news story pictures here but not the carousel issue. The site in question is www.fyt.org.uk.
I would be happy to past code as directed or allow FTP access if that would be helpful in solving the issue.
Thanks in advance.

The carousel seems to be working fine to me (in Chrome at least). What browser are you checking this in, or what is the issue you are seeing?
Apr 17, 2013, 03:06 #3
The carousel works in that new items appear but the picture doesn't show on the first two items. These news items have been added to the site since the changeover.

It seems that the images simply aren't where they are meant to be. You could perhaps manually upload them to the folder where they should be.

Yeah, as ralph.m mentioned the images should be at: sites/default/files/imagecache/carousel/
They should be as follows:
- /sites/default/files/imagecache/carousel/STSPbooks.jpg
- /sites/default/files/imagecache/carousel/DSC_0715.JPG
- /sites/default/files/imagecache/carousel/Greenbelt workshop.jpg
- /sites/default/files/imagecache/carousel/O4G Winter Small.jpg
- /sites/default/files/imagecache/carousel/Terry Dunnell Web.jpg
The last 3 images do work but going froward it might be a little more complicated than just putting the images in that folder because you're using imagecache which has probably been set up to resize and/or crop images on the fly to fit that particular size. Imagecache uploads the original and then saves as many variations of the original as you need in specific folders. There is probably an image "style" called carousel that has a specific width/length that that those are saved to. If you change the style, imagecache will reoptimize the images without needing to be re-uploaded.
I would look at your system settings to make sure that imagecache is set up correctly and saving the images to the proper spot on the file system. It may be that the original images were not saved and may need to be re-uploaded.

Kernel-based virtualization with KVM
KVM brings the kernel into the virualization game. We'll explain why the Linux world is so interested in this promising virtualization alternative.

Hate Ertz. Benefited from the system IMO. Look how treasured Fleener was last year, was outperformed by Dwayne Allen
If he falls to our pick in the third them we should take a chance on him but 2nd rd is way too high for him, we should go cb or de in 2nd , or a surprising situation that could happen is if Kyle Long is there at our 43rd pick don't be surprised if Dom picks him, he could immediately start over Dotson and could replace penn cuz if freeman earns himself a new contract then somebody is going have to be released next year due to cap issues( most likely penn)
Was Gronk also considered somewhat of a "problem" and the feeling was that when Bill B took him that he would straighten out..

To the editor:
President Obama has made a persuasive case that the government is being held hostage by a hard core of Republicans led by Sen. Cruz and the Tea Party in the House.
Now it appears that the onus is being placed by Republicans on the president and the government for not permitting selective exemptions or not permitting some exemptions while permitting others.
The hostages, meanwhile, have started to disappear as the Defense Department has canceled furloughs on most civilians and other agencies have made exemptions as well. So, where is the shutdown bogey now? Who is now responsible?
Republicans, notably Sen. McConnell and others, have made a point of proposing exemptions on cases such as payments of death benefits to families of servicemen and women thereby casting themselves as negotiators. The reasons for the shutdown have been lost behind management of the effects.
Damage has been done particularly to certain groups including those who can least afford it. Forgotten for the moment is sequestration which continues to take its toll on the economy in random and unfortunate ways.

Part of the lyrics from "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime," lyrics by Yip Harburg, music by Jay Gorney (1931)
They used to tell me I was building a dream, and so I followed the mob,
When there was earth to plow, or guns to bear, I was always there right on the job.
They used to tell me I was building a dream, with peace and glory ahead,
Why should I be standing in line, just waiting for bread?
Once I built a railroad, I made it run, made it race against time.
Once I built a railroad; now it's done. Brother, can you spare a dime?
Once I built a tower, up to the sun, brick, and rivet, and lime;
Once I built a tower, now it's done. Brother, can you spare a dime?
The price of a mismanaged economy that fails its citizens and the professions.
As architects we might be holding a Denby begging bowl, but its still a bowl, and its still begging...

Some kids in a local neighborhood have a new play area, but, it's not what you think - the area is actually a house under construction.
Yolanda Williams and her children live on Hancock Street in Saginaw, right next door to a house being fixed up as part of the Neighborhood Stabilization Project. Williams said the house has been on blocks, over a huge hole, for about a month. She said it's becoming a dangerous attraction for neighborhood kids - including her own."They were playing hide and seek right here through the back yard. She shouldn't have been over there but she was and she rolled underneath and then my nephew came up and picked her up out of there. That's serious," said Williams.TV 5 went to City Hall to ask the tough questions. We spoke to construction specialist Terry Collier. He says during the demolition phase, tape was put up around the house several times, but it kept being torn down. Collier said now that construction on the old house is set to begin, snow fencing will be put up by the end of the week.Williams said that's welcomed news. She just wants it done before someone gets hurt.
"My biggest thing is fencing, signs. I don't care about the project, the house or what they are doing. It's the fencing. This is not safe," commented Williams.

Over at FiveThirtyEight, Nate Silver has some graphics which don't bode well for the Michele Bachmann for President campaign.
Nate explains:
We see that Mrs. Bachmann's numbers have faded a bit — to an average of about 8 percent, as compared with a peak of roughly 12 percent that she achieved in mid-July. It's not a catastrophic decline, but since we're now seeing quite a few polls of Republican voters, it's larger than can be explained by statistical noise alone.
I confess, I'm torn on this. There was a small piece of me that would have relished it had Congresswoman Bachmann gotten the nomination. It'd have been a disaster for the GOP. Of course, it was never going to happen (to be fair to Nate, he does see a scenario in which Bachmann can get to the nomination, but it's a long, tough, complex road).
The other -- admittedly, much larger -- piece of me is glad she's fading. Good riddance.
I only just finished the Ryan Lizza piece in the August 15 edition of the New Yorker on Bachmann. It should give any sentient being chills.
Bachmann belongs to a generation of Christian conservatives whose views have been shaped by institutions, tracts, and leaders not commonly known to secular Americans, or even to most Christians. Her campaign is going to be a conversation about a set of beliefs more extreme than those of any American politician of her stature, including Sarah Palin, to whom she is inevitably compared. Bachmann said in 2004 that being gay is "personal enslavement," and that, if same-sex marriage were legalized, "little children will be forced to learn that homosexuality is normal and natural and that perhaps they should try it." Speaking about gay-rights activists, that same year, she said, "It is our children that is the prize for this community." She believes that evolution is a theory that has "never been proven," and that intelligent design should be taught in schools.
These folks aren't politicians. Hell, they don't even like government. These are rabid, two-bit charlatans whose sole agenda is to push their twisted version of Christianity into whatever unfortunate corner of our broken, beat-up world they set their collective eye to.
Please don't get me wrong. I don't feel any better about Rick Perry, down in Texas presumably praying the wildfires away. He's as crazy as Bachmann. Any human being with even a modicum of decency would cower in shame if they stood by the serious (and profoundly absurd) proposals of secession of their state followed by the statement that climate change is a hoax after helplessly witnessing the ravaging of their own state by wildfires that have burned an area the size of Connecticut.
Will Perry now accept federal disaster funds? And how will the merciless scorching of his state speak to the power of prayer?
Nevermind, of course. You'll notice in that chart up there that he's the red line rocketing towards the ceiling.
I'm not so sure Perry, like Bachmann, won't fade as well. I remain unclear on the case for Perry, much like I always remained a little foggy on the case for Bachmann, except that she hated gay people, loved god, was somewhat articulate in her hatred of Obama, and that was about it. It certainly wasn't her legislative accomplishments, such as they were.
I am also not sure Bachmann is totally out of the picture just yet. If an "establishment" candidate -- say, Romney -- gets the nomination, he may need a wingnut to balance the ticket for the tea partiers.
Bachmann may just be the answer.

CFL 'On-Time' and Safety
In the past the 'on-time', or the time it takes for the light bulb to light up completely, was a problem. Today, this is still somewhat of an issue. CFLs require pre-heating of the electrodes, which could take up to a second in the past. When people would flip the switch it would take a second for the bulb to turn on. That second of no light was a lot of time when you had already flipped the switch and expected the light to shine.
In order to minimize this start time, there are two options. The first and quickest way to do this is called Instant Start. By putting a slightly higher voltage in the ballast, the light will turn on when the switch is flipped. At this point it is still not stable because the lamp is not at equilibrium, but at least some light will come on in the beginning. In approximately the first minute the light will probably continue to increase in intensity.
The Rapid Start System had an average startup time of about 750-1000 milliseconds. Now, with the new electronic ballasts and the program start it can be done in about 200 milliseconds. The light will come on faster and is better than the original Rapid Start. This amount of time is pretty much unidentifiable by the human eye, the light comes on essentially instantaneously.
There have been so many enhancements to CFLs over the years including no flickering, faster start time, good light output, more shapes and sizes, it is difficult to understand why people still worry about them. What about safety? The use of high frequencies have good and bad qualities in CFLs. High frequencies help start the lamp easier, however when the lamp fails it does not go out as easily – the lamp is not extinguished right away. This is referred to as the 'end of life' problem with the latest version of electronic ballast. In the past the ballasts did not have the 'smarts' to know when they were failing, continuing to strike the fail lamp which could cause them to overheat. Today when the light begins to fail, it will simply shut off and there is no safety issue associated anymore.

Year of fundraising in Somerset rakes in £37,500 for Cancer Research UK
Updated 11:49am Thursday 31st January 2013 in Taunton
ALMOST £40,000 has been raised for Cancer Research UK - and some will go towards trials at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton.
Members of the Cancer Research UK committee in the town handed a cheque for £37,500 to the charity after various fundraising throughout 2012.
Cash was raised through coffee mornings, collection buckets, fashion shows and other events and will go towards research trials at the hospital.
Chairman of the group Ann Jeffery said: "We would like to thank the people of Taunton Deane who helped us raise such a fantastic amount of money.
"Some of this money will help towards the clinical trials of new cancer treatments being carried out at Musgrove Park Hospital.
"The fight against cancer is gradually being won by the ground-breaking research into new treatments of all types of cancers and this substantial amount with undoubtedly held in the continuing battle against this disease."

Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers made it official on April 3: she will seek re-election to her fifth term in the U.S. House in Washington's Fifth Congressional District.
"I'm humbled to say that I've lived the American Dream, and I've always seen my number one goal in public life as preserving that Dream for the next generation," McMorris Rodgers said. "Today, the American Dream is threatened by Big Government policies that have weakened our economy, and added a record amount to our debt. I have opposed the Big Government policies that have failed, and I will continue fighting for the free market solutions that will work – to create jobs and help the people of Eastern Washington."
McMorris Rodgers is leading the fight in Congress to bring the new KC-46A tankers to Fairchild Air Force Base, secure funding to complete the North Spokane Freeway, expand hydropower production, bring a medical school to Spokane, and protect rural health care.
During this session of Congress, McMorris Rodgers voted for the "Path to Prosperity" budget, the balanced budget amendment, and 40 jobs bills, many of which expand domestic energy production. In recent years, she also voted against the TARP bailout, the $1 trillion stimulus, and the $2 trillion health care law.
McMorris Rodgers was elected by her colleagues in 2008 to serve as vice chair of the House Republican Conference. She is the highest-ranking Republican woman in Congress.
"I take pride in being a representative that is 100 percent focused on the wonderful people who sent me to Congress," she said. "I've been – and want to continue being – a representative who is accessible and approachable to everyone, who brings people together, and who is part of the solution, not part of the problem."
McMorris Rodgers is a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
Before running for Congress in 2004, McMorris Rodgers served in the State House, ascending to the role of Republican leader.
In August 2006, she married Brian Rodgers, a retired Navy commander. The couple has two children: Cole, 4, and Grace, 1.

Street name change leaves Darwen residents baffled
11:43am Wednesday 26th February 2014 in News By Dan Clough, Reporter
BAFFLED local historians say they are puzzled and annoyed that Grime Street, at the bottom of Vale Street near Lidl in Darwen, has been renamed Garibaldi Terrace "out of the blue".
The move was decided by Twin Valley Homes as part of its redevelopment of the area.
Harold Heys, who has written extensively on local history, said: "Garibaldi Terrace was a short row of houses at the bottom of Harwood Street.
"It would have been about 200 yards from Grime Street. I haven't a clue why no-one asked for our advice."
Ward councillor Dave Smith said developers had saved an old stone relief, engraved with 'Garibaldi Terrace' beneath a lion, when starting work on the Orchard Park development.
It was named in honour of Guiseppe Garibaldi, the Italian general and politician who in the 19th-century led the struggle to unify Italy.
Twin Valley Homes had claimed it was restoring Grime Street to its original name.
But, Mr Heys said Grime Street was built in the 1850s and was probably named after local businessman Thomas Grime, a paper manufacturer who lived at Heatherby, Astley Bank, and was mayor of Darwen in 1886/87.
Garibaldi Terrace was built in 1864.
Tony Foster, another local historian, lived at number 15 when he was younger.
He said: "I don't recall ever noticing the stone, although you can still see it on Google Maps above number seven.
"We, and everyone else, reckoned we lived in Harwood Street."
Mr Heys said: "Garibaldi Terrace would have been a whim of the original builders. Perhaps they had Italians roots.
"Garibaldi is a hero of mine. He had a great love of England. But he had nothing to do with Darwen."
Researcher Phil Calvey said: "It is all done and dusted now.
"The relief is on a house in Grime Street and it is probably too late to do anything. Perhaps next time someone will ask our advice."
Coun Smith said: "The stone does appear to be in the wrong place, but at least it has been saved for posterity and is now part of the excellent Orchard Park development."

Its a shame that they have built new houses on the street but the graffiti remains.
Its an eyesore!!!
Not really great considering the street has had its name changed because of local history , how much would it of cost to have the graffiti removed included in the bill of the name change, council tax comes to mind, what are we paying for again?
Just hope that someone from the council or councillors office looks at this.

WHO: Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal vs. Emanuel Newton -- Bellator Light Heavyweight Interim Championship
WHAT: Bellator 106
WHERE: Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, CA
WHEN: Saturday, November 2, 2013
Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal vs. Emanuel Newton -- Bellator Light Heavyweight Interim Championship
With newly minted champ Attila Vegh out of action with an injury, an epic rematch will ensue for the interim title in Bellator's 205-pound division. In one of the most shocking and dramatic upsets of 2013, Emanuel Newton (21-7-1) shellacked King Mo (11-2) with a spinning back-fist to the kisser that was unhinged more like a standing karate chop. The tactic was brilliantly unexpected and a thing of sheer beauty. However, the fan clamor that such an unorthodox and effective strike would normally generate was instead transformed to scathing denigration and aimed at Lawal.
And I kind of don't get it.
Popular Assertions from the MMA Peanut Gallery
"LOL @ King Mo for not using his wrestling and trying to be a boxer."
There are a couple of problems with this outlook. First, Mo doesn't need to "try to be a boxer" because he always has been -- that's exactly why and how he became such a hot prospect. Initially hyped for his excellent wrestling accolades, Lawal knocked out Travis Wiuff, who had 65 fights under his belt at the time, in two minutes. Starting with Wiuff, Lawal stamped five of his first six opponents by TKO; four in the opening frame. His striking has always held the strongest presence in his offense.
Secondly, in his first elite test, Mo relied heavily on his wrestling to score a decision over Gegard Mousasi, but was subsequently criticized with cliche "he just laid on him" remarks. Putting a feared striker like Mousasi on his back not only evinces his ability to implement his wrestling but the semblance of solid Fight I.Q., which is another aspect he's been criticized for.
"LOL @ King Mo dropping his hands even though he trains at Mayweather's Gym."
Listen -- it's not like the dude swan-dived into Newton's fist with his hands at his waist. The only time you need to keep your hands up is when someone can punch you in the face. Yes, Lawal absolutely should've had his guard up when Newton caught him, but the same can be said for every fighter who's ever been KO'd or dropped in any combat sport. Also: who the hell saw that strike coming? Again, it was more of a case of amazing striking, timing, precision and awareness from Newton than some glaring flaw in Mo's defense.
"LOL @ Bellator marketing King Mo so heavily."
Well, considering the unending complaints that Bellator only signs no-names or UFC castoffs, I don't see the grievous atrocity here. Lawal was a Strikeforce champion and a lucrative acquisition for any promotion. I was also under the impression that the second fighter to ever defeat him would then be authenticated as a top-level talent, but it looks like that logic doesn't fly for some reason.
And let's expand on that last statement -- what does Emanuel Newton need to do to get some love?
Personally, I thought he deserved the nod over current champion Attila Vegh when they met in the 2012 Light Heavyweight Tournament semifinals and, therefore, should already be the promotion's champ. Before he even emerged in Bellator, Newton notched wins over at least one-time UFC'ers in James McSweeney (submission), Ilir Latifi (decision), Rodney Wallace (submission), Roger Hollett (decision) and David Heath (submission). On top of all that, he's a gamer to the core, he's well-rounded, a durable specimen, he's unpredictable, he fights with an awkward rhythm and timing, he throws jumping side kicks and he sleeps top-level fighters with crazy-ass spinning back fists. I'm down with all that and surprised more fans aren't.
Moving to the matter at hand, it's pretty difficult to imagine how this rematch will go. One pivotal unknown is whether Mo will revert to a wrestling-heavy strategy or prove a point by trading with Newton on the feet again. I'm expecting something right in between, i.e. the classic approach of establishing his boxing and then switching things up with takedowns to both exploit his phenomenal wrestling and disrupt Newton's atypical striking habits.
I feel that Newton was holding his ground by firing a stiff one-two straight down the pocket in their last match, and that simple combination could be useful again, as it's a quickly released and effective tactic, and also one that lends itself well to defending unexpected takedowns. Newton simply does not have the wrestling prowess or explosiveness of Lawal, but he's a burly, wide-bodied ogre with sound defensive grappling, and far from easy to take down. His unorthodox assembly of low and side kicks along with his standard boxing acumen will be an interesting contrast to Lawal's deadly wrestle-boxing combination.
I feel these are two A-level talents who legitimize Bellator's 205-pound division. Despite the outcome last time, I can understand Lawal being the favorite ... but not by these margins. I was completely on the fence for this pick but the unanimous oversight on Emanuel Newton's status and abilities alone justifies a nod in his direction.
My Prediction: Emanuel Newton by decision.

Video: See how quickly Lewes' Phoenix Theatre engulfed by fire
Updated 12:05pm Sunday 30th March 2014 in News
A theatre and community arts space has been destroyed in a huge fire.
About 70 firefighters from stations across East Sussex fought to save the Phoenix Theatre in North Street in Lewes and successfully managed to stop the blaze spreading to other buildings.
Fire crews were alerted to the fire at just after 6pm last night as the blaze happened just a matter of metres from the town's fire station.
The cause of the blaze remains unknown and many firefighters have only just left the scene more than 12 hours after the fire began.
One of the first firefighters on the scene told The Argus: "It was a large warehouse, about 30 metres by 50 metres, and it was fully destroyed by fire.
"Fortunately we managed to stop the fire spreading any further.
"The fire was going very strongly from very early on.
"At the moment we don't know what started it."
Jon Tooley, who took the incredible video of the fire, said: "I was driving back to lewes and I saw the smoke and just had my camera in the car.
"It was incredible how quickly it went up.
"Fortunately the wind was taking the smoke away from me, I suffer from emphysema and would not have been able to stand that close to it if not."
Did you see the fire? Have you got pictures or video of the incident?

Ozark Trail single burner camp stove
This burner is so simple to use. You adjust the gas flow and light the burner. No pumping or priming. The plastic base that comes with it makes the base very stable. I would recommend this burner as a starter burner for new campers. It's lightweight, but a little bulky. The Ozark Trail single burner stove is handy to have in camp. It's easy to pack on a boat trip. However a bit overkill for an overnight backpacking trip. I liked the 10,000 BTU burner and the ease of propane. I was also able to reduce… Full review
ALPS Mountaineering Shasta 3600
This pack is rock solid durable. I would trust it every day of the week and twice on Sunday. The extensive adjustabilty, including the torso harness and especially the well designed load lifting straps and side compression straps, made configuring a heavy load easy. I have been a lifelong loyal supporter of external frames backpacks for a variety of reasons, most of which have nothing to do with performance. As a younger hiker, the lack of disposable income meant that all of my gear was particularly… Full review
Osprey Talon 44
It is relatively light and versatile for a wide range of activities. The harness system is comfy and durable. Perfect for ultralight backpacking trips. Fit: This is the pack that we chose to do a 12 day JMT hike. We decided on this because of weight and most importantly fit. The harness system makes it easy to mold to your body and the hip belt was perfect for the load (36 lbs). Comfort: With the fit comes comfort due to its multiple adjustment points. This pack must be tried on first because… Full review
Mountainsmith Mountainlight Scream 25
This pack is a great lightweight and minimalist choice for day hikes. It is easily packed down small to fit into a larger backpack. Durability exceeds anything else in its class. It is a frameless pack with minimal padding, so it has its limitations. If you take those considerations into account before buying this pack, you might just find that it's perfect for you. Fit: This is a one-size-fits-all pack. I'm about 5'10" and have a 19-ish inch torso, and it fits me really well. I'm a fairly normally… Full review
Deuter Futura 28
Great daypack. Durable, comfortable, good storage features. Highly recommended! Comfortable pack, many pockets, I love extra storage options, the back ventilation is nice, minimal back perspiration! I am 5'4" with a longer torso and the s/m size works well for me. I have had this pack for three years and it is durable for all my crazy adventures! I also appreciate the lower sectioned zipper on bottom, great for shoes or wet items, can also be unzippered inside to make main upper larger. Great pack. Full review
Big Agnes Pumphouse
The BA Pumphouse is too low-volume to be a good inflation device, and that property is the main feature that differentiates it from any other lightweight, waterproof, roll-top stuff sack. It does, however, have an unintended use -- it makes a good solar water heater. Although it is listed as just a stuff sack in the headline here on TS, it is really intended for use as a mattress inflater, with the suggested stuff sack and pillow as secondary uses. The bottom of sack has a little nozzle on it that… Full review
Sea to Summit Ultra-Sil Day Pack
A minimal day pack for short side trips on longer backpacking trips. No promises on comfort, and it is not very durable or waterproof, but that's reasonable given the small weight and size. I wouldn't recommend it for all-day hikes but it fills its niche well. We brought a pair of these along on our JMT through hike, and my daughter and I did several side trips to some of the nearer and easier summits using them. Short side trips when carrying larger pack are all I ever intend to use it for. When… Full review
The North Face Crestone 75
Comfort is the one word I would use to describe this pack. Plenty of room and great support. Great pack with enough room for a thru hike. Love this pack, a bit on the heavy side though. Full review
GoLite Jam 70L
A very well designed, ultralight frameless pack at an affordable price. Since reducing my base load weight to under 20 pounds (including a 5 lb. CPAP), I decided to try an ultralight backpack. I have been using a Kelty Trekker 65 and a Yukon 48 for years, and never expected to find a lighter pack that was capable of handling my necessarily bulky load with the same amount of comfort. After taking the Jam 70 on an overnight hike, I was not disappointed in its simplicity, comfort, capacity, and compressibility. Full review

How to Choose a Backpack
Like most outdoor gear, choosing the right backpack depends on how you plan to use it and selecting one that fits you, your needs, your budget, and your gear.
Capacity (or How Big?)
Consider the following questions to help determine capacity, or how big of a pack you really need.
- How long are you heading out for: a day, an overnight, a week?
- What's your outdoor style? Are you a minimalist, or deeply attached to creature comforts, or somewhere in between?
- How much and what gear will you bring for specific trips and activities? Don't forget group gear and seasonal items (for example: winter gear will take up more room).
Pack Sizes
Obviously you need a backpack that fits all your gear. If possible, lay it all out, including food and water, and be honest about what you'll need to fit in your pack.
Backpack sizing varies between individuals and manufacturers, but the following ranges are a basic starting point:
- Day Pack:
less than 2,000 cubic inches
up to 30 liters
- Overnight:
2,000 - 2,999 cubic inches
30-50 liters
- Weekend and Multi-Day:
3,000 - 4,499 cubic inches
50-73 liters
- Week-Long and Expedition:
4,500+ cubic inches
74 liters and up
Pack Tip: Don't buy a backpack bigger than you need. You'll be tempted to fill it and carry more than necessary, or you'll end up with an annoying floppy, half-filled pack.
Fit (Is It Comfy?)
Types of Backpacks
Are designed for done-in-a-day hikes, runs, skis, and (for some minimalists) the occasional overnight. Daypacks may be frameless rucksacks or incorporate a stiff frame sheet or metal stay for support.
Internal Frame Backpacks
Available as weekend, multi-day, and expedition-sized backpacks, internal frames are popular for their adjustability, ease of movement, and balance.
External Frame Backpacks
External frames are also available in sizes suitable for a weekend overnight to a winter camping expedition. More rigid than internal packs, externals typically carry heavy loads well.
Hydration Packs
Designed for active, endurance pursuits, hydration packs feature space for a hydration reservoir and tube for drinking on the go. Some also have space to carry gear.
Waist Packs
Also known as lumbar packs, fanny packs, and hip packs, these small packs allow you to carry a few essentials on short outings, such as gel flasks on a run or a camera on a short hike.
Child Carriers
There's no need to leave Junior behind when you hit the trail. Just load him or her into a kid carrier and head on out.
Front Packs
Font packs allow you to carry gear that you want to access immediately on your chest.
Nothing beats the expertise of a knowledgeable pack fitter. Find one at your local outdoor retailer. In the meantime, here are some additional tips to help you choose a backpack that fits you well.
Torso Length
Size a backpack to your torso length. Don't assume you need the tall (or the regular or the short) model based on your height. The sizes of different manufacturers' frames may correspond to different torso lengths. Check each pack's technical specifications.
To find your torso length, have someone measure from the iliac crest at the top of your hipbone to the prominent bone at the base of your neck (the seventh cervical vertebrae). (See how to properly fit a backpack in this instructional video.)
Pack Gender
Many pack manufacturers produce women-specific or short torso versions. Women, kids, and others with short torsos can consider backpacks sized for them. On average, these fit the average woman better.
Pack Tip: Don't get stuck on a pack's gender though. Buy the one that fits you best.
Straps and Padding
Shoulder straps, which control the fit of the suspension system, should be well padded and adjustable.
An adjustable sternum strap, which connects the shoulder straps, helps bring the load weight forward and off your shoulders.
Since it supports your pack's weight, make sure the hipbelt provides adequate padding. Some pack makers offer interchangeable hipbelts in different styles and in sizes for both men and women for a better individual fit.
Fitting your gear in the pack is one thing. Making sure it rides comfortably is another. What's the typical weight of your gear? Check that it matches the manufacturer's recommendation, particularly if you're opting for an ultralight pack.
During a fitting, load the pack with weight to see how well it carries. Walk around with the loaded pack, practice taking it on and off, move around, and climb up and down stairs and slopes.
How well is the pack's load distributed? Does it remain comfortable over its carrying capacity and intended uses? Does it feel stable?
Features & Organization
Consider the pack's organization. Is equipment stowed securely? Is it easy to access? Intuitive?
If you'll be carrying any specialty gear, such as ice axes, snowshoes, skis, or a snowboard, look for a pack with features or accessories designed to hold those items, rather than trying to jury-rig them on later.
Depending on your different activities you may need more than one backpack, perhaps a large internal frame pack for multi-day backpacking trips and a small daypack for day hikes.
Find the best pack for you and your activities and you'll be ready to hit the trail.

The Stomping Ground Terrain Park, Mount Washington's park-grom playground, has also been a high priority on the mountain's development list over the last four years. With over $150,000 in rails, decks, and boxes Mount Washington has created a litany of man-made stunts. The Stomping Ground has now become one of BC's premier terrain parks.
With abundant natural snowfall at their disposal, the Park Crew get to build the ultimate terrain park every winter! The Stomping Ground features jumps, hips, step-ups, as well as a sumptuous smorgasboard of street-style rails and fun boxes. If you like flow and you're an experienced park rider, then this is the park for you!
The Stomping Ground isn't all about throwing down. The park offers the best of both worlds: on top of being one of BC's premier advanced parks, it contains the perfect learning park for those looking to get into park riding. In the learning area, the rails are shorter and the jumps are smaller which gives riders the opportunity to progress in a fun and safe environment.
Highlights of our Terrain Parks:
* This is a list of all rails owned but not necessarily all the rails you will find in place at once. Rails are consistently rotated to keep things fresh and avoid clutter (no one likes a messy terrain park...right?)
Stomping Ground Jumps
- Little Meat
- Sweet Meat
- Raw Meat
- Step-up
- Shocker
- Mini and Large Marge
- Triple Threat Hip
- Hitching Post
- Satellite (jump in jump out)
We currently have a plethora of other jumps in the intermediate and beginner parks that are yet to be named!
* This is a list of all jumps at a given time. They are not necessarily set up all at once. Amount of jumps and rails set is dependent on snow both in limited and excessive quantities.

|Buckeyes interested in seeing Wildcats-Bears game
|Wednesday, August 28, 2013 12:04 AM
By RUSTY MILLER
Associated Press
COLUMBUS — What's brewing with the 2013 Ohio State Buckeyes …
BUCKEYES BUZZ: As if Ohio State's coaching staff doesn't have enough going on with the opener coming up Saturday (Buffalo at home, noon), the assistants also will be keeping an eye on other games.
One in particular.
When Northwestern travels to play California for a 10:30 p.m. ET kickoff, the Buckeyes can kill two scouting birds with one video tape.
Ohio State travels to Cal on Sept. 14 — and then plays at Northwestern on Oct. 5.
There will be other opportunities to see the Wildcats in action and to break them down on film. But there won't be a better chance to see Cal's Golden Bears — under new coach Sonny Dykes — against a Big Ten opponent. The tape will undoubtedly provide some insight.
"Absolutely, that will be a big part of our preparation," coach Urban Meyer said Tuesday. "We'll get that film immediately. And we'll have some people working on that ASAP, not the full-time coaches but we'll have some graduate assistants breaking that down and getting it into the computer. Because that's a new staff, that'll be very important for us to get tendencies from them."
ONE-UPMAN SHIP: Indiana, long a doormat in the Big Ten, hopes to at least make things interesting for fans.
No matter how the football team plays, the school's administration has taken steps to enhance the experience of attending a game at Memorial Stadium. The Hoosiers host Indiana State on Thursday night.
Flat-screen TVs have been added to the concourse, along with better cellphone reception.
The prow from the USS Indiana has even been placed outside the stadium.
Also, IU has built the tallest flagpole in all the Football Bowl Subdivision. Its new flagpole will reach 154 feet — 8 feet higher than Ohio State's, which previously was the tallest.
COMING HOME: Buffalo has 13 players on its roster who are from Ohio.
They include QB Collin Michael (Lexington), cousins P Tyler Grassman (Gahanna) and LS Corbin Grassman (Alexander), QB Alex Zordich (Youngstown), RB Devin Campbell (Youngstown), LB Lee Skinner (Fairborn), TE Colton Caldwell (Dublin), DL Chris Ford (Medina), OL Jessie Beck (Cincinnati), WR Malcolm Robinson (Canton), TE Mason Schreck (Medina) and WR Ron Willoughby (Avon Lake).
Anthone Taylor, a sophomore RB, played alongside Ohio State QB Braxton Miller at Huber Heights Wayne High School.
Coach Jeff Quinn is a former offensive coordinator and line coach at the University of Cincinnati who worked on the same staff with current Ohio State assistants Kerry Coombs and Tim Hinton. Quinn was the interim coach for the Bearcats in the 2010 Sugar Bowl after Brian Kelly left to accept the Notre Dame head coaching job.
Quinn knows what the game means to the native Buckeyes on his team.
"We've got a lot of Ohio kids on our roster. They're going to be making their trip back to their home state," he said. "It's going to be the first time we've ever played Ohio State at the Horseshoe and it's going to be a great environment. So, I know our kids are excited to play and they'll be ready to play."
MORE BARS (AND NOT ON HIGH STREET): Ohio State officials say that phone service at Ohio Stadium has been enhanced by adding antennas to several of the flagpoles atop the C deck.
The immediate beneficiaries are people with Verizon phones since that company put up the most antennas.
But facilities people say that most fans should see an improvement in smartphone service.
ON THE WAY: Ohio State did not release a depth chart with its game notes on Monday, as is typically the case. Meyer said that was because of injuries to several players, principally Corey Linsley and Andrew Norwell on the OL, that might impact who starts. A team spokesman on Tuesday said that the two-deep would be released soon.
At the same time, Ohio State also confirmed that changes are coming up to the 2015 football schedule. Word out of Blacksburg, Va., home of Virginia Tech, is that the Buckeyes' visit to campus in 2015 will end up being a collegiate version of Monday Night Football on Labor Day night, Sept. 7.
There are two other openings on the 2015 schedule, however. Cleveland.com has reported that Northern Illinois might have issues with the game currently planned for Sept. 12. There are also holes in the schedule on Sept. 5 and for Sept. 26, with Ohio State looking to fill those spots with games at Ohio Stadium.
Ohio State says it will have an update on the 2015 schedule within the next couple of weeks.
REMEMBERING: Buffalo is wearing a No. 6 and the initials SH on the back of its helmets in memory of former Bulls player Saron Hood, who died this summer.
Hood, a WR, spent four years with the team and had graduated from UB. He was working on an internship at Texas A&M this summer when he collapsed during a workout and died.
COLORFUL CROWD: Ohio State is encouraging fans to wear scarlet and gray — by seating section — at Saturday's game.
For more info, go to: http://www.ohiostatebuckeyes.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/081913aaa.html
8 Buckeyes, including QB Miller, to be captains: An unprecedented eight players — including star quarterback Braxton Miller — will serve as captains for No. 2 Ohio State this season.
Joining Miller are offensive linemen Corey Linsley and Jack Mewhort, defensive backs C.J. Barnett and Christian Bryant, linebacker Ryan Shazier, wide receiver Corey Brown and backup quarterback Kenny Guiton.
Linsley, Mewhort, Barnett, Bryant, Brown and Guiton are seniors and Miller and Shazier are juniors.
Coach Urban Meyer said he has never had so many designated captains. It is also the most captains in Ohio State's 124 years of football, eclipsing the previous high of six in 2010.

By CYNTHIA McCLOUDFor The State Journal
Children ages 9 and 10, and the people who cook for them, are needed for a research project and 4-H program conducted in Morgantown and Martinsburg.
West Virginia University is participating in iCook 4-H, a program studying healthy weight in children with the goal of promoting healthy families by getting youth and parents to cook, play and eat together.
iCook will promote cooking skills and family meals in an attempt to prevent obesity.
Researchers at universities in Maine, Nebraska, South Dakota, Tennessee and West Virginia are working together because they have successfully collaborated in the past, said principal investigator Melissa Olfert, an assistant professor in human nutrition at WVU.
The five-year study is funded by a $2.5 million USDA grant. Now begins a two-year-long research project.
The goal of recruiters is to have 100 pairs participate in each state. More people are needed, Olfert said.
To qualify, participants can't have food allergies or restrictions limiting physical activity. They have to be willing to eat from all food groups and must have computer and Internet access at home. Children must turn 9 by Dec. 31.
"This is a good age," Olfert said. "They're moving into being independent and they can learn about safety and how important it is to create meals from scratch. They latch on to how nice it is to have the family communicating at the table over a meal prepared from scratch."
At four intervals, all participants will have their blood pressure taken and will complete surveys about food and eating together, cooking skills, physical activity and quality of life. Children will have their height, weight and waist measured, and some may be asked to wear a physical activity monitor for a week. Participants will be compensated $80 for completing the four assessments.
Half the group will be selected to attend six two-hour-long classes in cooking, family interaction and physical activity at Morgantown or Martinsburg.
At home, these families will post videos demonstrating recipes and ways they're being active on a website, tracking their progress over the two-year period. Cameras will be provided.
"The curriculum has been fully developed from a pilot study and research teams giving input," Olfert said. "It focuses largely on culinary skills, recipes and recipe manipulation, such as what to substitute if you don't have an ingredient. We want kids to know measuring, a little of food science and food technology, math skills and nutrition education."
How to cook is not all they'll be learning.
"Family meal time is becoming less and less," Olfert said. "It's a huge component of these cooking sessions. WVU Extension has put together a wonderful program that has a conversation starter notebook —that will be used throughout the five states, which is exciting — if you don't know what to talk about. We practice this in class. They do the cooking and then partake of the food they created."
The last component of the classes is physical activity.
"We've come up with very fun physical activities, sort of games, that will have the kids interacting," Olfert said. At home "we want to see them videotaping and taking still pictures of themselves with their friends and parents being physically active. Every week we'll set goals and at home between the lessons they'll upload content of what they've accomplished over those two weeks."
One of the goals of the study is to develop a program that will disseminate information on cooking, nutrition, family interaction and physical activity.
"The end product we're expecting will be the full package, a tool-kit driven program that any Extension or non-Extension agent, 4-H or non 4-H group can deliver. We want to have it available where 4-H isn't available," Olfert said. "The website will support the curriculum of the six different classes. The tools will be created and the website developed and any know-how at that point will be available to any community that wants to have it."

Moving to a new URL.
I have a WordPress 3.0 multisite buddrypress 1.2.5 site running and I need to move it to a new URL. I can just backup and copy all the files over but I am concerned that I also need to change some of the settings so that blogs etc are changed to have the new URL – What files do I need to change the new URL in?
