Cinematographer Darius Khonji does a superb job of conveying both the sensual beauty (there's a spectacular moonlight-on-the-water sex scene with Leo and the lovely Ledoyen), and the darkness of Richard's paradise lost.
Always a joy to look at -- and even if the story isn't half as profound as the filmmakers think it is.
As a book, The Beach offers the option of diving deep. As a movie, it sticks too close to the shoreline.
Colorful and exciting, as far as it goes. But Boyle and Hodge pull back on their usual wit and grit.
It's hobbled by odd plot contrivances and some less-than-stellar acting from DiCaprio.
Not a terrible movie, just an insubstantial one. All of DiCaprio's charisma and the director's savvy are used to divert us from the fact that there's not much going on.
Murky, pretentious and torturously inert.
Score distribution:
Positive: 14 out of 19
Mixed: 0 out of 19
Negative: 5 out of 19
Oct 16, 2012Excellent story with breathtaking scenery set in Thailand. Leo's character Richard is an American tourist and he embarks on an adventure to find a paradise island. But at what price? My favourite scenes are when Francoise pretends to be eaten by a shark, when they debate how they are to get down from the waterfall and the scene where they are together in the water. Excellent cast and soundtrack. Directed by Danny Boyle.… Expand
Feb 23, 2013The Beach should have been called The Cute Guy From Titanic Takes His Cloths Off. "Leo" got a very big following after being in the then best grossing film of all time, Titanic. It was an amazing film and he did a great job, but unfortunately for us horny Americans, there wasn't enough skin. That's where The Beach comes in. This was a rush job plain and simple. The movie has no flow or plot, it's big sell was Leo DiCaprio on The Beach wearing very little. Honestly he should have just done a magazine shoot and saved us the time, because this movie isn't worth the film it is shot on. Unless you want to see lots of Leo with his shirt off, this movie is a definite pass.… Expand

Rick Adelman will meet with Minnesota Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor on Tuesday, reports ESPN's Ric Bucher. Adelman formally interviewed with Wolves GM David Kahn last week, and is reportedly interested in the team's head coaching job. The Wolves have gone 32-132 over the past two seasons. Adelman has a career 945-616 record as an NBA head coach.
Adelman spent the last four seasons with the Houston Rockets; he missed the playoffs in each of the past two seasons despite finishing over .500 -- such is the strength of the Western Conference -- and parted ways with the team due to a rift among Adelman and management. Oddly enough, the Rockets hired former Wolves GM and interim coach Kevin McHale to replace Adelman.
The Wolves fired Kurt Rambis in July after two dreadful seasons. Minnesota has had a bit of a makeover this summer, bringing 2009 pick Ricky Rubio to the team and taking Derrick Williams No. 2 overall in the June draft. It's expected that once the season officially starts the Wolves will be active in the trade market, in part because Kahn is always active in the trade market and in part because there are significant roster adjustments to be made.

Glaus exits with shoulder injury
Cards third baseman has strain, will have MRI Wednesday
ST. LOUIS -- Cardinals third baseman Troy Glaus left Tuesday night's game against the Cubs in the fourth inning due to a strain in the back of his right shoulder. The injury had been bothering him for quite some time, but it flared up to a greater degree on Tuesday.
"It was a swing," Glaus said. "It's been going on for a little bit. I got some treatment done on it Sunday, I got a little injection to try to get it to calm down, and it didn't really calm it down much."
Glaus started at third base and batted second for St. Louis, taking two at-bats before he was removed. He struck out swinging in his second at-bat, in the bottom of the third inning. He did not return to the field for the fourth.
"It doesn't bother him to throw, but once in a while when he makes a certain swing," said manager Tony La Russa. "I'm sure he'll be out x-number of days. We'll see."
Glaus sat out Sunday's game against Florida following a cortisone injection in the shoulder, and Monday's off-day allowed him extra rest from the shot. Still, he wasn't feeling right on Tuesday. Glaus expects to have an MRI exam on Wednesday.
"Not everything is a miracle," Glaus said. "We were hoping that it was going to be enough. Obviously, it wasn't, so now we'll do tests and see what those show, and based on that we'll have a plan of attack."
In his first season with the Cardinals, Glaus is batting .269 with a .371 on-base percentage and a .472 slugging percentage. He has 23 home runs, 89 RBIs and is likely a candidate for what would be his first Gold Glove Award.
Glaus was acquired from the Blue Jays in January in a 1-for-1 trade for Scott Rolen, who coincidentally has a long history of shoulder problems.

The Most Oddest Missed Trading Opportunity
Click Here to Watch the Video
Do you know what the #1 most-missed trading opportunity is today?
If you don't, then you're missing out on some of the most exciting returns available to individual traders today.
What is it? I'll give you three hints:
Hint #1:
It's delivering some of the biggest, fastest gains anywhere. I'm talking about 280% in 14 days . . . 642% in 42 days . . . 828% in 22 days and more.
Those are real gains from last year.
Hint #2:
It is NOT options, or futures, currencies or anything like that. In fact, these gains are produced by regular stocks using NO LEVERAGE whatsoever.
Hint #3:
Multi-billion dollar hedge funds can't take advantage of it because they need to trade too much money... but if you're putting anywhere between $200 to $100K into a single trade, then you're perfectly situated to play this.
Can you guess what it is? Click the link above to review it.
This trading presentation is by Tim Sykes, who, when he ran his hedge fund, was rated #1 in his specialty out of ALL hedge funds by Barclays Ratings.
I can almost guarantee you won't be able to guess what this trading opportunity is. This presentation is an eye-opener . . .click the link above to watch it now.
Take a few minutes to watch it. I think you'll love what Tim shares.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: What a way to spend a Sunday morningIn full: Firstly, thanks to all those who organised this event, it would have been a long day for many of you to be out there. Nice informal 'start when you want to' meant that whilst most runners set off at 7am, I could queue for the toilet! Conditions were perfect for a long run, not too hot and not too cold with well spaced water stations and sporadic encouragement. I like the idea that it was broken into stages; for me that made the distance manageable. Had a rather amusing encounter with some angry/inquisitive cows which caused a small detour through a barbed wire fence, but to be honest that just added to an unforgettable experience. Serves me right for wearing a red t shirt I suppose. Great fun day out and will be back next year.Date of review: June 26, 2013
In short: Bargain of the yearIn full: Nice friendly evening race and a curry for £8. Someone please tell me how that works? Absolutely faultless apart from the weather, but then I don't think Race Directors get to influence that do they! Have spread the word already and will be back next year.Date of review: June 14, 2013
In short: Different classIn full: People who I had spoken to before said that it was worth doing for the crowds alone and they were right. If you ever need to restore your faith in the goodness of human nature either enter this event or go and see it.I have never been more glad to see a finish line, but also more reluctant to finish. Like many I said never again on the day, but now the aches and pains have gone..............Date of review: April 27, 2012
In short: Still as hard as nails, but that's what makes it specialIn full: Could not have wished for better weather this year. A well organised event, excellent post race food/drink and a nice course to run. Lovely way to spend a Sunday morning. Well done all round.Date of review: March 26, 2012
In short: Like clockworkIn full: That this is the first race is truly amazing. Very well run event, with everything that one could possibly need (including the weather!!) It was very nice to get some support around the course (albeit sporadic but that is what you get with a rural setting). However, things sure livened up at the finish with a nice cheering crowd and an excellent PA trying to make us give that little bit more effort. In terms of the course, it was not as flat as expected and the hill at 11.5 miles was unkind (but then again the Scorpion run does give it away slightly). Overall I would certainly recommend this to anyone, the only problems being that if entry is again limited next year to 300 you will have to be very quick to get in.Well done and thank you all.Date of review: March 12, 2012
In short: Ideal for an introduction or a stepping stone to triIn full: This really was so much fun. For a beginner like me, it was perfect I was not confident about the bike bit (yes that was me circling as far over to the left as I could!) or the transitions. However, you could not wish for a better intro. Being traffic free, you only had to worry about the faster bikes coming through which was a huge bonus.I would most certainly do this event again and would strongly recommend it.Date of review: February 29, 2012
In short: Not at that priceIn full: I must say that this event did not live up to my expectations. The route itself was fine, yes there was traffic but to be honest, when isn't there? Weather was a little too warm (can't blame anyone for that)and I did not see the Hi 5 available which would probably have helped the last few miles. Water stations, toilets etc all on par with other races that I have run. The real bug bear was the value for money aspect. The goody bag was very poor considering the cost involved. Thanks though to all the marshalls (especially those dealing with the traffic on the main road).Date of review: September 7, 2011
In short: Running seems to spoil the viewIn full: Firstly, thanks to all the supporters,organisers and marshalls for everything. One of the best events I have ever run in. As for the course, the roads are relatively quiet and the tarmac nice and smooth, which helps compensate for the final hill! Undulating is an accurate description but I personally found the downhills worse as they seemed to sap the strength from you. Lovely evening with a nice village fete and deer roast for those waiting for the runners. Highly recommendedDate of review: August 9, 2011
In short: Definitely undulatingIn full: Many thanks to all the organisers, marshalls etc, it all seemed to run very nicely. I like the slightly eccentric goody bag and the memento was the best one I've seen. The course itself is challenging with plenty of ups and downs, but that makes it a bit more interesting. Plenty of water stations on a hot morning. Highly recommended if you are tiring of fast and flat courses.Date of review: July 27, 2011
In short: An excellent pre marathon testIn full: Thanks to all the supporters and organisers, this was a cracking way to spend a Sunday. Entered this one rather than another local event as it was only half the cost. Am I the only one finding that entering some of these events is becoming a little prohibitive? The course was challenging for those of us not used to hills which was what was required. Will certainly do this next year. Date of review: June 28, 2011

"When the Hondurans live in such extreme poverty, it keeps your self esteem low," Michael Franklin, AHMEN-SIFAT Initiative Domestic Coordinator, said. "Part of the program is teaching the community that they can be the solution to their problems."
Those solutions include creating water filtration systems made from local materials and find alternative types of heaters and heat sources that burn less wood and release less smoke into the homes.
"The program gets more difficult each year and builds on previous knowledge," Franklin said.
The members in the third year of the program will focus on finding solutions for five areas that the participants identified as key areas of concern for their community. Those five areas are malaria prevention, HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention, smoke inhalation, domestic abuse and clean water availability.
In one of the areas served by AHMEN, one in every ten people has HIV or AIDS and malaria is a major killer in the area, due to the high mosquito population and lack of medical care.
The initiative intends to continue their existing educational program, but they are also looking at ways to expand and meet more needs in the communities they serve.
One major concern for the members of AHMEN was the fact that there were many women in one area who lived in the city's trash dump, scavenging for food and materials to survive.
A part of the program will now focus on helping these women start a business, providing startup supplies for them to make and sell jewelry, in hopes that they can create an income source that will sustain them and their families and get them into a home. The micro-enterprise will focus on 30 women divided into five groups initially.
The program will provide the initial startup and will assist in the beginning with supplies and business tips. Eventually, the women will become more independent and the business will sustain itself.
"I almost feel we have to be more involved and more responsible," Franklin said. "You're promising the world to them, promising a business when they live in the city dump. We are trying to get them to a point where these ladies can make their own business decisions."
In addition to that program, they have also helped with the founding of a school in Honduras for deaf students and others with physical or mental disabilities, led by a local woman who has two special-needs sons.
The biggest need for the programs currently is money. A small monthly donation is the ideal donation type for the programs organizers.
"I'd love for somebody to donate a million dollars, but small donations keep people involved," Franklin said.
People can also get involved physically, by helping with fundraisers, attending planning meetings or providing support.
"I want people to understand that this is a program from Walker County, it was started in Walker County," Franklin said.
For more information, visit www.honduranmissions.com or contact Franklin at (334) 467-5777.

Failed Visit Charges
If you are unable to make your scheduled appointment you must cancel the appointment by the required notice deadline, otherwise you will be charged for a missed appointment.
Information on specific charges can be found in the UHC Price Guide, under "Failed Visit Charges."
For more information on how to schedule and/or cancel an appointment, visit the Appointments page.
Students are not required to carry medical insurance to use the UHC, but are strongly encouraged to do so. While many services are priced below community rates, medical insurance will often cover a portion or all of these charges depending on your insurance plan.
If you are not covered by a medical insurance plan, the UNL "Healthy Option" insurance plan is offered through the UHC by Aetna Student Health and the Ameritas Group.
For detailed information about the UNL "Healthy Option" insurance plan visit the Insurance Benefits page and the Aetna Student Health website.
The UNL "Healthy Option" insurance plan is underwritten by Aetna and the dental insurance plan is underwritten by Ameritas.
We encourage all students to review their current health insurance coverage. It is wise to shop around and make sure you have the right amount of coverage or a plan that fits your needs.
Filing Insurance Claims
We are more than happy to file patient charges with any insurance company as long as the patient has the necessary insurance information. To expedite insurance filing, please bring your insurance card (or a front and back copy of your policyholder's card) to all UHC visits.
All patients are encouraged to carry an insurance card at all times in case of emergency.
Payment (Price Guide)
- After your visit, you will need to checkout at "Appointments and Billing" in the main lobby. If you have charges for your visit, the following payment options are offered:
- The UHC will file your insurance claim or provide an insurance ready bill at the time of service. Please bring a copy of your insurance card with you to the visit.
The UHC is a preferred provider for ONLY Blue Cross Blue Shield and the UNL "Healthy Option" Student Plan. If a student carries Blue Cross Blue Shield or the UNL "Healthy Option" Student Plan, the claim will be filed automatically with the proper insurance information.
- You will receive a billing statement 15 days after your visit. After 30 days, unpaid charges will be transferred to Central Bill (Student Account Bill).
- For payment at the time of service, the UHC accepts payment in the form of cash, check, charge (VISA/MasterCard), or charged to your NCard.
Questions to Ask
- When comparing insurance plans, please consider:
- Have you compared costs?
The UNL Student Medical and Dental Insurance Plan costs approximately $125 per month.
- Does your current plan have local and national doctors and hospitals available to your student?
If you plan on vacationing, leaving the campus area or if your HMO only covers you as a dependent near your home town, you should consider the Student Insurance Plan. The UNL Student Insurance Plan offers access to a Preferred Provider Network in the local Lincoln community and nationally if you require treatment outside the campus area.
- Does your current plan have a high deductible option?
If yes, the Student Medical Plan has a Preferred Care deductible of $400 per insured and will be waived when treatment is rendered at the UHC.
UHC Eligibility/ Facility Fees
The University Health Center (UHC) is partially funded through the University Program and Facilities Fees (UPFF) which is assessed with tuition for all University of Nebraska-Lincoln students.
- Eligibility for the UHC is as follows:
- 7 or more credits - Services at subsidized rates (usually lower than community rates) including NO CHARGE for primary care visits. The UHC facility fee cannot be waived.
- 6 or less credits - May elect to pay facility fees to become eligible for subsidized rates
The UHC facility fee DOES NOT cover medical services received outside the UHC. You will be responsible for all outside charges. The UHC facility fee is completely separate from the UNL Healthy Option Student Plan premium.

I wanted to document my pregnancy with my first child in a fun way that would help me look fondly back on all the changes and be a love letter to my future baby. I took photos and notes every week of what I was up to instead of just the "belly" shot and it will be a special remembrance of that time when I felt so great and full of a new life.

I LOVE this book! My youngest daugher was born about two weeks before your baby...I think it's time to do a maternity album as she just turned two! Love the simplistic design, the fabulous pictures and all the doodles. Are those hand drawn by you?

I used booksmart and set up a left and a right handed template (where the words were) and saved them. That way the margin and above and below the text was consistent. Saved them to My Page Layouts. Then when I added the words for each week, I tweaked the page layout to make the image box more narrow and widen the text box until it filled to the last line. Hope that makes sense.

Being that as it MAY
Original post made by Oxymo Ron on May 12, 2008
The rich contribution of Informed Resident ("Info Res"), Alamo Ron, Krak Potts, Forest Warn and all those that challenge us to think with reality and oxymorons on reality should be invited to challenge our corridor of neighbors to consider their positions.
Thus, allow me to start this forum not on issues but the concept of discussions that surround our corridor's issues. Info Res, Alamo Ron, Krak Potts, Fore Warn and more make us think about our approach to commentary and how we research information.
That's the subject and we want "Commentary for Dummies" to be the issue. Thoughtful comment and a smile or three would be great consideration for us all.

Ah, I didn't realize we were so close that we were interchangeable!
In the humor of current and former neighbors in our Diablo Vista region we have enjoyed the fun of screen names that illustrate the humorists among us. We have all been humorists. Since we were all called crack pots, I became Krak Potts just to fulfill a vision of our majority.
It is quite true that we are all a composite of all we hold close and therefore I am not sure we are not all of ourselves together. But it does sound like a song John Lennon didn't write.
Thus, going forward, may I recommend we be,

Thoughts would be good. I'd like to see some - they're notably lacking.
Case in point:
Oxymo Ron asks for "discussions that surround our corridor's issues"...and would "make us think about our approach to commentary and how we research information."
Nice turn of phrase but regrettably devoid of content.
This sounds strangely like having pre-planning meeting to plan the pre-meeting's meeting.
Rather than thinking about our approach to commentary, why don't we just talk and dispense with null contructs?
on May 14, 2008 at 2:22 pm
Dear Alamo Ron,
Your comments were exceptional and point to wisdom learned over many years in the former Silicon Valley:
#1 - If you really DON'T have nothing to say, be vague and lengthy.
#2 - Make it more important what you didn't say, as in Verning, the process of implying meaning unsaid.
#3 - In humor, together, we proved an accordian is a violin designed by a committee and the bag pipe is its compromise.
I feel better, how about you?

Afghan cuisine
Afghan cuisine is largely based upon the nation's chief crops, such as wheat, maize, barley and rice. Accompanying these staples are native fruits and vegetables (including nuts) as well as dairy products such as milk, yogurt and whey. Kabuli Palaw is the national dish of Afghanistan.[1] The nation's culinary specialties reflect its ethnic and geographic diversity.[2] Afghan food is prepared Halal according to Islamic dietary laws. Afghanistan is known for its high quality pomegranates, grapes and sweet football-shaped melons.[3]

Kabul influence on Afghan cuisine[edit]
An ancient city of art and traditions with a status as the nation's multi-cultural capital, Kabul has traditionally offered a wide variety of cooking styles and ingredients. Afghan food items known today were probably first served by urban residents. Most food and trade recipes were traditionally handed down through the generations. Late in the 19th or early in the 20th century,[when?] a collection of formal gastronomy documents was published by Afghanistan's government. These documents included preparation, food history, cookware fabrication and dining etiquette.
The varied climate of Afghanistan allows for an abundance of crops throughout the seasons. Fresh yoghurt, coriander, garlic, onions, spring onion, tomatoes, potatoes and fruit are widely available in all parts of Afghanistan, and are used in preparing foods. Fruits and vegetables, fresh and dried, form an important part of the Afghan diet, especially in the rural areas. Afghanistan produces a variety of fruits, notably grapes, pomegranates, apricots, berries and plums. These fruits have traditionally been Afghanistan's main food exports. Dried nuts and seeds such as walnuts, pistachios, almonds, peanuts and pine nuts are very popular and plentiful in Afghanistan. A variety of oranges, known locally as "malta," are grown in the warm climate of the Nangarhar province. Also in the temperate climate of Nangarhar, olive groves once stood for the nation's consumption of olive oil. The Wardak Province is well known for its apples and apricots, as is Kandahar for its fabled pomegranates. Herbs and spices used in Afghan cuisine include mint, saffron, coriander, cilantro, cardamom, and black pepper. Lamb and chicken are the preferred meats. Afghan cuisine emphasizes well-balanced, contrasting tastes, and food is neither spicy nor bland.
Known as the dastarkhan, the floor spread is an important expression of culture in Afghanistan. Regardless of economic status, creating an adequate dastarkhan is important to any family, especially when hosting guests. A large tablecloth will be spread over a traditional rug. Most likely a young member of the family will present an "aftabah wa lagan", a copper basin and elaborate pot filled with water for the household to wash their hands in. He or she will go to each person dining at the dastarkhan.... pouring fresh water over their hands. Soap is provided, as is a drying cloth. The dastarkhan is then filled with breads, accompaniments, relishes, appetizers, main courses, salads, rice and fruits. Arrangement of foods is important when having guests; they must have easy access to the speciality foods.
Major foods[edit]
Breads and accompaniments[edit]
There are mainly three types of Afghan bread:
- Naan - Literally "bread". Thin, long and oval shaped, it is mainly a white/whole wheat blend. Topped with poppy seeds, sesame seeds, nigella seeds or some combination of these. More expensive naan can be made with all white flour and oil.
- Obi Non - Uzbek-style bread. Shaped like a disc and thicker than naan. Often made with white flour.
- Chapati (also called Sapati or Dodi in some areas of Afghanistan) - is the main type of bread used with meals in the Pashtun tribal areas.
- Lavash - Very thin bread that is usually used as a plate for meats and stews.
Accompaniments may include:
- Torshi - Various pickled fruits (e.g. peach, lemon) and vegetables (e.g. eggplant, garlic) mixed with vinegar and spices.
- Chutney - These sauces are usually made with vinegar, fresh cilantro, chili peppers and sometimes tomato paste.
Rice dishes[edit]
Rice dishes are the "king" of all foods in Afghanistan. Afghans spend much time and effort creating rice dishes, as they are considered the best part of any meal. Wealthier families will eat one rice dish per day. The Afghan royalty spent much time on rice preparation and invention as evidenced in the number of rice dishes in their cookbooks. Weddings and family gatherings must feature several rice dishes and reputations can be made in the realm of rice preparation. The types of rice prepared are outlined below.
White rice. Extra long grains such as basmati are required. First parboiled, then drained and finally baked in an oven with some oil, butter and salt. This method creates a fluffy rice with each grain separated.
Chawal is served mainly with qormas (korma; stews or casseroles).
Cooked the same as chawal, but meat and stock, qorma, herbs, or a combination are blended in before the baking process. This creates elaborate colors, flavors, and aromas for which some rices are named after. Caramelized sugar is also sometimes used to give the rice a rich brown color. Examples include:
- Kabuli Pulao - The national dish of Afghanistan,[1] meat and stock added, topped with fried raisins, slivered carrots, and pistachios.
- Yakhni Pulao - Meat and stock added. Creates a brown rice.
- Zamarod Pulao - Spinach qorma mixed in before the baking process, hence 'zamarod' or emerald.
- Qorma Pulao - Qorm'eh Albokhara wa Dalnakhod mixed in before the baking process
- Bore Pulao - Qorm'eh Lawand added. Creates a yellow rice.
- Bonjan-e-Roomi Pulao - Qorm'eh Bonjan-e-Roomi (tomato qorma) added during baking process. Creates red rice.
- Serkah Pulao - Similar to yakhni palao, but with vinegar and other spices.
- Shebet Pulao - Fresh dill, raisins added at baking process.
- Narenj Pulao - A sweet and elaborate rice dish made with saffron, orange peel, pistachios, almonds and chicken.
- Maash Pulao - A sweet and sour pulao baked with mung beans, apricots, and bulgur wheat. Exclusively vegetarian.
- Alou Balou Pulao - Sweet rice dish with cherries and chicken.
Rice that is cooked with its water and forms a sticky consistency, is known as Bata.[2] Bata is usually eaten with a qorma, such as Sabzi (spinach) or Shalgham (turnips). With the addition of stock, meat, herbs, and grains, more elaborate dishes are created. Notable dishes include Mastawa, Kecheri Qoroot, and Shola. A sweet rice dish called Shir Birenj (literally milk rice) is often served as dessert.
Qorma is a stew or casserole, usually served with chalau rice.[2] Most qormas are onion-based. Onions are fried, then meat is added, as are a variety of fruits, spices, and vegetables depending on the recipe. Finally water is added and left to simmer. The onion caramelizes and creates a richly colored stew. There are over 100 qormas. Below are some examples:
- Qorma Alou-Bokhara wa Dalnakhod - Onion based, with sour plums, lentils, and cardamom. Veal or chicken.
- Qorma Nadroo - Onion based, with yogurt, lotus roots, cilantro, and coriander. Lamb or veal.
- Qorma Lawand - Onion based, with yogurt, turmeric, and cilantro. Chicken, lamb, or beef.
- Qorma Sabzi - Sauteed spinach and other greens. Lamb.
- Qorma Shalgham - Onion based, with turnips and sugar; sweet and sour taste. Lamb.
Pasta is called "khameerbob" in Afghanistan and is often in the shape of dumplings. These native dishes are popular. Due to the time-consuming process of creating the dough for the dumplings, it is rarely served at large gatherings such as weddings, but for more special occasions at home:
- Mantu - Dumplings filled with onion & ground beef. Mantu is steamed and usually topped with a tomato-based sauce and a yoghurt or qoroot-based sauce. The yogurt-based topping is usually a mixture of yogurt, sour cream, and garlic. The qoroot-based sauce is made of goat cheese and is also mixed with garlic. Sometimes a qoroot and yogurt mixture will be used. The dish is then topped with dried mint.
- Ashak - Kabul dish. Dumplings filled with leeks. Boiled and then drained. Ashak is topped with garlic-mint qoroot or a garlic yoghurt sauce and a well seasoned ground meat mixture.
Each family or village will have its own version of mantu and ashak, which creates a wide variety of dumplings.
Pasta in the form of noodles is also commonly found in aush, a noodle soup served in several varieties around the country.
Afghan kebab is most often found in restaurants and outdoor vendor stalls. The most widely used meat is lamb. Recipes differ with every restaurant. Afghan kebab is served with naan, rarely rice and customers have the option to sprinkle sumac or ghora, dried ground sour grapes, on their kebab. The quality of kebab is solely dependent on the quality of the meat. Pieces of fat from the sheep's tail (jijeq) are usually added with the lamb skewers to add extra flavor.
Other popular kebabs include the lamb chop, ribs, kofta (ground beef) and chicken; all of which are found in better restaurants.
Chapli kebab, a specialty of Eastern Afghanistan, a patty made from beef mince, and is one of the most popular barbecue meals in both Pakistan and Afghanistan. The word Chapli comes from the Pashto word Chaprikh which means flat. It is prepared flat and round, and served with naan. The original recipe of chapli kebab dictates a half meat (or less), half flour mixture, which renders it lighter in taste, and less expensive.
Quroot (or Qoroot) is a reconstituted dairy product. It was traditionally a by-product of butter made from sheep or goat milk. The residual buttermilk remaining after churning of the butter is soured further by keeping at room temperature for a few days, treated with salt, and then boiled. The precipitated casein is filtered by cheesecloth, pressed to remove liquid, and shaped into balls. The product is thus a very sour cottage cheese. Quroot is hard and can be eaten raw. It is typically served with cooked Afghan dishes such as Ashak, Mantu, and Qeshla Qoroot, among others.

Multiple site support?
6 November 2008 at 8:05am
I have about 15 Silverstripe sites on one box, and I'd love it if they were all able to share the same codebase. Currently, it's a real pain for me to have to roll out updates across 15 sites and have to remember every little change I make.
Has anyone done this with success? I was thinking I could set up a symbolic link to the sapphire, cms, and jsparty folders that live in one place on my server, and have the mysite and assets folders live locally on the virtual host. Does that sound reasonable or will things blow up?

I've heard that being done elsewhere (symlinks) - should be fine. Presumably you already have "Options FollowSymLinks" in your apache config.

Staff Report
Cooperstown Crier
---- — On June 12, 1939, the National Baseball Museum opened its doors for the first time, in honor of the 100th anniversary of the mythical "first game" that allegedly was played in Cooperstown on June 12, 1839. The first four classes of Hall of Fame electees were honored on that day in 1939, as the election process began in 1936.
In honor of turning 74 years old, the baseball shrine has unveiled a special 75th anniversary logo that will be used to commemorate the organization's Diamond year and anniversary.
The Hall of Fame also announced plans for a 14-month musical celebration for next year. As part of the anniversary lineup, LGH19 Productions will produce a live event on Aug. 2, 2014 on the same stage where the Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will take place six days earlier.
The Boston Pops will be the "house band" for the event, which according to organizers, will feature some of the music industry's top recording artists, as well as celebrities from the world of film, television and baseball.
"This event will allow music, movie and baseball fans to come together to celebrate in Cooperstown, just days after the 2014 induction ceremony," Hall of Fame President Jeff Idelson said.
Idelson said LGH19 is a Los Angeles-based entertainment and live music producer. VIP tickets are $100, $200 and $400. For more information, visit cooperstownconcert.com.
According to Idelson, more information about the acts who will participate will be announced after this year's Hall of Fame Induction ceremonies.
Inductions are held at the Clark Sports Center. This year's ceremony will be held at 1:30 p.m. Sunday, July 28 and honor umpire Hank O'Day, Yankees owner Jacob Ruppert and 19th century catcher/third baseman Deacon White who have been elected by the Pre-Integration Era Committee, The Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will also pay tribute to 12 individuals previously counted among the Hall's roster of members who never had a formal induction. Honorees will include BBWAA electees Lou Gehrig (1939) and Rogers Hornsby (1942), along with the entire class of 1945 selected by the Committee on Old Timers: Roger Bresnahan, Dan Brouthers, Fred Clarke, Jimmy Collins, Ed Delahanty, Hugh Duffy, Hughie Jennings, King Kelly, Jim O'Rourke and Wilbert Robinson.
Beside the live show, the Hall of Fame already announced a special commemorative coin by the U.S. Mint to mark the occasion.
Idelson said the Hall of Fame is about "the cultural footprint of baseball" on America and the world. The interactive show will intertwine such aspects as music, film literature and art to present the full spectrum.
"We're looking forward to celebrating our 75th in grand style," with this event that is expected to be televised, he said. "It's more than a concert. It's a celebration of baseball."
According to a media release, the new 75th anniversary logo is inspired by the Hall of Fame's iconic plaques of those who are enshrined in Cooperstown. Its design features the primary Hall of Fame mark, inlaid with a bronze composition of a large facet-cut "75" and a baseball diamond bordered by the years 1939 and 2014. The design is wreathed in laurels to represent the honor that accompanies earning Hall of Fame election.
"This is the first of many special recognitions and celebrations we will announce in the coming months to celebrate the 75th year of America's most treasured baseball destination," Idelson said of the debut of the logo.
Hall of Fame Weekend 2014 will be held July 26-29. The weekend will feature the Induction Ceremony for any individuals who earn election through the Expansion Era Committee Voting, which will be announced on Dec. 9, and the 2014 Baseball Writers' Association of America election, which will be announced Jan. 8, 2014.

Jim Batchelor, a retired Army corporal who was wounded in Iraq in 2004, walks with a cane, but it's the unseen injury he came to talk about at Angelo State University's first conference on post-traumatic stress disorder.
The ASU graduate earned a bachelor's in criminal justice in 2007, but he said it took him four years to admit he had a problem, even as his pre-Iraq life crumbled and he "watched the walls bleed."
"I got interested in PTSD because you get interested in things that affect you," Batchelor said.
Manuel Zamora, an ASU assistant professor of criminal justice and a 30-year veteran of the Houston Police Department, was the first speaker at the conference, held Tuesday. He shared a 3-month-old HPD video on the "debilitating mental illness."
Its message was that "seeking help is not a weak thing; it gives you a second chance to live a normal life."
"We really have a responsibility to get the word out," Zamora said. "It's gotten to be serious, almost epidemic."
The conference, held at ASU's C.J. Davidson Conference Center, drew an audience of about 150 that included military in fatigues, nurses and law enforcement personnel who could earn continuing education credits, college students and members of the public.
Jeff Dailey, assistant professor of border security in ASU's department of security studies and criminal justice, helped organize the conference, which he said will be an annual event.
The conference was co-sponsored by ASU's College of Health and Human Services and Center for Security Studies.
Robert Ehlers, CSS director and a military historian, said PTSD was known as shell shock in World War I and combat fatigue in World War II. He said more than 90,000 veterans are being treated for PTSD by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
"Veterans have had to live with this for generations," Ehlers said. "It was a great disservice to the veterans. We know that now, and that's why all of you are here."
Darryl Payton, chief nursing officer at San Angelo's River Crest Hospital, a mental health treatment facility, said PTSD is an anxiety disorder triggered by a traumatic event and can appear in anyone of any age and often manifests itself only after a period of time.
Payton, an Air Force officer who served during the first Gulf War, said women are twice as likely as men to develop PTSD because "in our society, more women are attacked than men."
Payton said it is important to distinguish PTSD from a number of other conditions, including acute stress disorder, adjustment disorder, mood disorder, substance abuse or dependence disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, schizophrenia or "malingerers."
"Most individuals exposed to a traumatic event do not develop a psychiatric illness," Payton said.
The severity, duration and proximity of an individual's exposure to a traumatic event are the most important factors affecting likelihood of developing PTSD, he said.
"It's especially severe when the stressor is of human design, such as torture or rape," he said.
The physical cause of PTSD is the body's release of chemicals when the fight-flight response is triggered.
"When asking how a woman missing a child and a combat veteran can both develop PTSD, it's the fight-flight response," Payton said. "For the mother, she gets the same boatload of chemicals, just like the combat veteran does. … The body only has so many ways to respond. Whether it's rape or 'I saw a body part' or 'I was in combat,' the body only has so many ways to respond."
He said treatment is available and includes individual therapy, group support and medications.
Ron Perry, emergency management coordinator for the city of San Angelo and Tom Green County, attended the conference, hoping it would include mention of first responders.
He said he was working with his body-detecting dog at the site of a building that collapsed in Mexico after a hurricane.
"You prepare for what you're going to see, but then you see that little hand sticking out of the rubble," Perry said. "That's what a lot of us go through."

Man killed in Mortlake stabbing related to Oscar-nominated actor Ralph Fiennes
Updated 3:27pm Thursday 24th April 2014 in News By Amy Dyduch
A man killed after a stabbing in Mortlake was believed to be a relative of Oscar-nominated actor Ralph Fiennes.
James Fiennes, 49, died on Wednesday morning after he was stabbed in The Tapestry pub in Mortlake on Tuesday evening, April 22.
Staff said there was blood at the scene and Mr Fiennes had wounds to his chest and back.
Mr Fiennes, from Sherborne in Dorset, is believed to be a first cousin of the author William Fiennes, and related to the Oscar-nominated star Ralph and his actor brother Joseph.
Adam Fiennes, James's brother, said: "Whilst there are members of the family who are in the public eye, James wasn't. His death has had a huge impact on us and we would ask that the media allow us to grieve in private."
Lucia Fiorini, who has owned the family-run restaurant for 14 years, said she never expected the regular customer to die.
She said: "It is shocking, it is horrible, it is very sad.
"I was speechless when I found out and could not believe it.
"I would never have expected anything like that to happen."
The tapas bar is expected to re-open for regular business on Sunday or Monday.
- Nicholas Hunter, 36, of no fixed address, who was previously said to be from Rodenhurst Road, Clapham, appeared at Wimbledon Magistrates' Court this morning charged with murder.
He was also charged with threatening to kill another man, Thomas Olsen, on Tuesday night at the Tapestry in Lower Richmond Road.
He will next appear at Kingston Crown Court on Monday, April 28.

The following is a press release from the Newton-Needham Chamber of Commerce:
As part of a continuing effort to bolster business and keep our communities vibrant, the Newton-Needham Chamber of Commerce is launching a new campaign designed to educate consumers about the value of spending locally.
The seven-week Shop Local for the Holidays campaign is designed to educate residents about the many benefits of supporting local merchants, restaurant and service providers, said Newton-Needham Chamber of Commerce President Greg Reibman.
"If we all agreed to modify just some of our shopping habits, we could lift our local economy, support our schools, our police, our fire departments and the conditions of our streets and sidewalks," Reibman said.
Central to the effort, the Chamber is asking residents to sign the Shift Three Pledge and agree to buy at least three items locally that they might have otherwise purchased online or out-of-town. Those purchases could be large or small, a gift, a meal, or just something one needs.
"If just one third of our residents shifted just three purchases, cash registers in Newton and Needham would ring more than 100,000 extra times," said Reibman.
The Chamber will kick-off the Shift Three campaign on Saturday Nov. 10 at 10 a.m. at Just Next Door, an independent gift and card stop in the village of Auburndale. Newton Mayor Setti Warren and others will be on hand to sign the Shift Three Pledge. Following the pledge signing, attendees will be encouraged to participate in a "cash mob" by agreeing to spend $10 or more at any Auburndale business of their choosing.
The shop local theme will also be a focal point four days later at the Newton-Needham Chamber's Annual Achievement Breakfast on Wednesday Nov. 14, when business and civic leaders will be asked to also sign the Shift Three Pledge. The achievement breakfast will feature state Treasurer Steven Grossman, who, as the keynote speaker, is expected to address the importance of local commerce and his call for an internet sales tax as "a matter of Main Street fairness."
Chamber volunteers will also fan out across the community during the next several weeks encouraging the public to sign the pledge and talk about the value of local commerce. An e-version of the pledge will be available for "signing" starting Nov. 10 on Facebook and on the chamber's website, www.nnchamber.com
The Shift Three Pledge is the first phase in longer term effort by the Newton-Needham Chamber designed to promote local commerce. Several national surveys have demonstrated that retailers in communities with active buy local campaigns have experienced markedly stronger revenue growth compared to those located in areas without such a campaign.
One study, by the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, a nonprofit research and educational organization, found that communities with a "shop local" initiative reported revenue growth of 5.6% on average in 2010, compared to 2.1% for those elsewhere. Independent retailers in "buy local" communities reported seeing a 5.2% increase in holiday sales, while those elsewhere reported an average gain of 0.8%. Almost half reported that shop local campaigns had brought new customers to their business and 55% said it had made existing customers more loyal.

Town Square
Plutocracy and the Santa Clara Board of Education
Original post made by Serge Bonte on Dec 7, 2007
The Board of Education seems oblivious to a host of facts:
- BCS in effect already triage its applicants by suggesting a 3,500 dollars annual contribution per child!!!
- BCS is a public charter school not a neighborhood school (in fact, it is not even located in the geographic area it will favor)
- The geographical area BCS gives preference to is the LASD area that LEAST needs extra academic help (median house price in excess of USD 3M)
- This new enrollment procedure severely reduces opportunities for minorities.
- At the same time, LASD is about to open a newly refurbished neighborhood public school for the very same neighborhood BCS is now officially favoring.
- In order to open that neighborhood school in Los Altos Hills, LASD voted on new attendance boundaries displacing in excess of 500 children (most of them out of their own neighborhood schools).
The Santa Clara Board of Education, BCS and its backers, are showing a very poor display of responsible citizenship.
Even more immediately upsetting than this blatant social injustice, however, is that the LASD board still plans to go ahead with their boundary decision for reasons that now demand serious reexamination:
- The boundary decisions were predicated on attendance projections that are now invalid thanks to the new BCS attendance preference.
- With these new numbers, certain schools will likely be outside their capacity guidelines again within a year or two.
- In conjunction with their boundary decision, the board passed an extremely rigid policy denying grandfathering privileges to most affected students, SOLELY for the purpose of filling up the Bullis Purisimma site as a K-6 school by 2008. They decried any "gentler" means of implementing the new boundaries simply because a phased matriculation --as recommended by LASD's own superintendent-- would not fill the classrooms at BP fast enough to appease Los Altos Hills. Yet, because of BCS siphoning its attendance, that same school might not even reach the minimal District attendance guidelines.
- Students in the northern part of the district stand to be ripped abruptly from their schools in fall 2008, and possibly again in the near future, all in an attempt to fill this school in a neighborhood that will also soon be reaping most of the benefits from another district housed public school, BCS.
- There will now be TWO "neighborhood" schools serving the sparsely populated Bullis Purissima area while the 500 displaced children won't even have as much as one.
- In an effort to fill up Bullis Purissima, LASD is also offering multi-year inter district transfers (not to anybody only to residents of Los Altos Hills attached to Palo Alto Unified District). In the same time, LASD residents have to re-apply every year for an intra-district transfer even to the very same Bullis Purissima school.
It is really time for LASD, BCS, Santa Clara Board of Education and their respective cities to sort that mess once and for all.
While that happens, I urge the Los Altos School District to immediately put a moratorium on both reopening the Bullis Purissima school in K-6 configuration and implementing the new boundaries. Or at least mitigate the impact on the scores of children being displaced by moving to a phased matriculation or a more generous grandfathering policy.
Finally, while I want my 4th grade son to develop a large and diverse vocabulary, I'd prefer he starts with words like democracy, equality, and justice, rather than "plutocracy". Can someone in one of these esteemed educational organizations please help me out?

What bothers me most is that the district's children are the victims in this obvious power struggle between the distict, Los Altos Hills and now Santa Clara county.
on Dec 11, 2007 at 11:27 am
Sounds like a good reason for a lawsuit. Charter Law in the California Ed code says:
(2) (A) A charter school shall admit all pupils who wish to attend
the school.
(B) However, if the number of pupils who wish to attend the
charter school exceeds the school's capacity, attendance, except for
existing pupils of the charter school, shall be determined by a
public random drawing. Preference shall be extended to pupils
currently attending the charter school and pupils who reside in the
district except as provided for in Section 47614.5. Other preferences
may be permitted by the chartering authority on an individual school
basis and only if consistent with the law.
I would imagine that if a preference rule is granted that creates a protective bubble around a socio-economic class or creates racial preference selection bias, then that could be challenged as inconsistent with federal equal education opportunity law.
Any lawyers out there that want to help the 'little guy' who wants the ability to send his kid to quality charter schools across the state - as the law intended?
on Dec 14, 2007 at 12:13 pm
Serge, thanks for writing this. I fully agree with your conclusion: Los Altos School District should immediately put a moratorium on both reopening the Bullis Purissima school in K-6 configuration
Are there any laws that are designed to prevent segregation along socio-economic class boundaries? I don't think that is explicitly part of the current anti-discrimination code. I'm not a lawyer.
I heard that LASD intends to sue BCS over this, however. I think it will be a difficult case to win. LASD is ignoring their heavily populated area in the northern end of the district.
LASD should move BCS to Bullis-Purissima and open a new "overflow" elementary school beside Egan Middle School where BCS is currently housed. Geographically, that is where additional school capacity is needed.

Nice amber color with no head to speak of. Almost overwhelming aromas of pumpkin, nutmeg, and something vaguely describable as banana-cinnamon. Rich pumpkin flavor hits the mouth right away, and fades slowly into nutmeg and hops. Reminds me of eating a slice of pumpkin pie with the crust at the end.
I have to admit a bias toward this brewery in general, and also to pumpkin ales as a style. This is a solid example, though not my favorite. I'd say it's a little spicier than I'd like, but still good. Not as sweet as some others, which is a plus in this case.

Iam not sure if I got a bad bottle but Iam gonna review it now and get another in the future,this was not very good at all.Poured a dull burnt orange with no head to speak of at all,just looked flat.Heavy spice in the nose with cinnamon,and clove being most prominant over mace and cardamom.Overly spiced flavors with cinnamon and cardamom being way overdone.I had high expectations for this beer,Iam not sure if its off, or really this bad.Just sweet boozy and overspiced.

Pours into my glass an autumnal copper orange. Not much head to speak of, just a little ring around the top of the glass. Aromas start out with sweet malts intertwining with lots of spice flavors. Ginger, cinnamon and clove are the most prevalent. Vegetal underneath with a touch of caramel.
First sip brings sweet caramelized malts upfront with a bevy of spices rushing across the palate. Bold ginger meets clove, cinnamon and nutmeg. Somewhat vegetal midway through that's reminiscent of pumpkin meat. Flows down with a big lingering spicy kick and a touch of crisp sweetness with ginger in the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied and creamy with good carbonation. Goes down smooth and the alcohol is well hidden throughout. Overall, I found this to be a spice forward pumpkin ale that didn't come together as nicely as some others I've had. Lots of ginger lingers on with each sip. Worth a shot, but I wish the spices were toned down a bit.

22oz bottle. Pours a clear golden orange with a small white head that quickly goes t a thin collar.
The aroma is sweet pumpkins, floral perfume, and some spices (ginger, nutmeg?).
The flavor is sweet pumpkin pie with a good amount of spices (nutmeg) and a little weird plastic/metallic bitterness. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and a bit watery.
Overall, a decent pumpkin beer. I remember liking this a lot more on tap at GABF - at that point it was one of my favorite pumpkin beers. Not sure if I got a bad bottle, or if it's just better on tap, or if I had a few too many at GABF by that point, but this is just OK. It's a bit flat and overly sweet with some off notes.

22 oz. bottle poured into a NB snifter.
A - Pours a wheat/honey gold. An almost-nonexistent head of light khaki foam disappears almost immediately, leaving a thin ring of bubbles around the edge and swirl of fine lace on the surface. Held to a full-spectrum light, the beer is an apricot orange and a touch cloudy, with several trails of bubbles rising from the center bottom.
S - A quick punch tweaks the nose with spices: cinnamon predominates, followed by ginger, nutmeg, and clove. Freshly baked pumpkin pie across the background. Hints of caramels. As it warms in the glass, the spices meld together and soften while the toasted malts appear as moist, grainy bread dough. Pleasant and inviting, easy to savor.
T - Pumpkin, front and center, followed by a nicely spiced pie filling, and chased with a caramel topping. Rich and flavorful. While pumpkin is what's featured, there's still plenty of the supporting spices, and are well-balanced. The big ABV is well-hidden, except for the warm spot in the tummy that develops. The finish features echos of brown sugar and cinnamon toast with pumpkin pie, followed by late notes that remind me of a spicy ginger-ale.
M - Smooth with a touch of fizz. Moderate body that leans a bit light. Nicely integrated components are almost silky across the tongue. Finish is well-balanced and lingering.
O - A sophisticated, richer take on the pumpkins that's quite tasty. While it features the pumpkin in the taste, there's still plenty of spices to be found bouncing around in the mouth after the finish. This would be a great alternative at the Thanksgiving table to compliment turkey and stuffing, a meal that's always been challenging to pair wine to.

22oz bomber.
Two fingers of froth, stickage on the glass. Bright brassy amber clarity. Spiced nose, ginger and cinnamon come forward the most and tangle with the malt, pumpkin and alcohol. Smooth and slick full body. The beer shows its strength right away with a quick to warmth feel on the palate and lingering fruitiness from the yeast. Maltiness drops more breadiness than caramel. Ginger and cinnamon mirror the nose with remain dominant. Finishes semi-dry with spice and alcohol.
This beer flexes hard, yeah it has its pumpkin spiced side but the imperial side shows off a bit. I dig this beer a lot.

Nose of pumpkin pie spicing.
Quality pumpkin ale, typical spicing and all the expected flavor components...a bit of alcohol showing itself here and there...nice thanksgiving night night capper...

Had on tap @BBC Cedarville--served into a tulip
Appearance: minimal head, orange-brown in color, cloudy, moderate carbonation
Smell: cinnamon, clove, and alcohol
Taste: breadiness, clove, cinnamon, alcohol, and other pumpkin spice
Mouthfeel: sweet with an alcohol burn, moderate carbonation, light bodied
Overall: A flavorful pumpkin treat. I love the depth and richness of this one. This one jumps out as one of the more complex pumpkin brews along the lines of Southern Tier's Pumpking..although I think I prefer ST. I would get this again if I wanted a nice pumpkin sipper.

Orangey honey colored with nearly no head despite a vigorous pour.
Strong vegetal aroma with big notes of vanilla and nutmeg, some subtle cinnamon.
Rich flavor of vanilla and nutmeg, cinnamon with a slight peppery bite, notes of pumpkin and squash, not picking up any ginger. High sweetness, not adequately balanced by the bitterness.
Slick mouthfeel, nearly syrupy, low carbonation, could use some body. Warmth and tingles on the tongue in the finish.
Tasty beer, but needs some body and balance.

22 ounce serving with a big deep orange copper body representing the Hoppin' Frog out of Akron, Ohio. Aroma hits you in the face with clove, and other aromatics in the way of ginger cinnamon and nutmeg. Classic pumpkin pie spices with some meaty juicy pumpkin gourds going on as well. Really well balanced between loads of pumpkin pie spice and sweet caramel candy pumpkin fruit sugars, pretty amazing feet to spice it so heavily with a beer with this much spice character to not come off cloying. Almost a toasted marshmallow like experience full of roasted caramel, this beer is pretty awesome even if you don't like pumpkin pie. It's actually easier to drink than alot of other imperial pumpkin ales out there but just super spicy, I'm givnig my second half to my wife and I will cleanse the palate and start in on a fresh six of Green Flash WCIPA. Overall a decent pumpkin ale that should probably be served in 12 ounce portions, but it's still a good version of a widely abused style.

(Served in a teku)
A- This beer pours a dark orange body with a strong carbonation of big bubbles that boil up to form a head which equals a collection of large white bubbles.
S- The soft dark caramel aroma is supported by a stale spice note. Even with lots of sniffing I couldn't get much more out of this beer.
T- The beer has a vegital flavor with some cooked pumpkin qualities but other cooked vegetable flavors are stronger. There is a slight sweetness which blend into a dull mellow spice character. The finish is a bit of alcohol heat and more dull spices that are non-descriptive.
M- The light mouthfeel has a tight fizz and a warming alcohol heat in the finish.
O- The spices are a bit stale and bland or really overcooked with an odd vegital flavor for support. I didn't get any malt character out of this. I was pretty let down and I enjoy pumpkin beers this time of year.

Due to the controversy surrounding Lamont Peterson, and the fact that his comeback fight with Kendell Holt is pretty big by ESPN standards, we will be having this preview thread for the fight pinned. Discuss all things related to Peterson, how he will fare in this fight, and any aspects of the controversy in this thread. On Friday Night, we will change the topic title to our customary Round By Round Spoiler thread so users can follow along and reflect on the future of Lamont's career.
Please note we normally do Showbox and ESPN fights in Weekend Wrap up threads, with only the PPV, HBO, or Showtime fights pinned. However, because this is a world title fight (IBF World Jr. Welterweight Championship) with such an electric atmosphere in Peterson's hometown with a very strong challenger in Holt, we will be treating this fight as if it were a PPV, HBO, or Showtime match. This is one of the biggest little fights to hit ESPN FNF in a long time so we are going to treat it as a big deal.
Same rules apply, no new spoiler threads or public streams. Post everything in this thread. Oh, if you are DVR'ing this card, add 30 to 60 minutes because there is a basketball game previous to the fight and doing so should avoid game overtime problems.

Well I was wrong and I knew this fight would end the way I did not predict when Kendell decided to bark at the crowd. I was thinking he is wasting way too much energy and the dude is not focused. Oh well. Both guys came up the rough side of the mountain. I respect Peterson he came out took some shots early adjusted and finished very strong. Holt missed his window of opportunity early in the fight. Instead of really taking it to Peterson when he was showing ring rust he stepped back and let Peterson size him up and figure him out. Once Peterson started using his size and power it was all she wrote. Adrian Broner is starting to get on my freaking nerves. Kid actually said he should be the number 2 Pound for Pound. I love his skill set but he is really over playing his hand. He needs to just tone it down a notch.
Great fight for Peterson, he fought with heart and determination. I say he gets the winner between Zab and Swift. That would be an action packed fight. Outstanding job to bother fighters but this night belongs to Peterson. Welcome back! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clapping.gif)

Walterboro Public Safety arrested a 49-year-old man Monday evening after an officer witnessed him taking part in a drug deal in the middle of an intersection.
Kenneth Davis, 49, was arrested and charged with possession of crack cocaine and possession of drug paraphernalia.
According to an incident report, Davis and another male suspect were seen standing in the intersection of Henderson Street and Mincy Avenue around 5:41 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 22. Police say the unnamed suspect was seen giving Davis a baggy containing a white substance
Police say the unnamed suspect ran off when the officer approached, but Davis was detained.

The committee also decided to create displays around the campus to honor veterans and the sacrifice they and their families make during their service.
The first display, outside the library in the 1200 Building, includes many items from nursing instructor Armigene Skipwith's family, which has an extensive military record. Several items are from her son's time as a Buffalo Soldier with the Army. He also served in military intelligence and as a paratrooper.
Other items in the display are from her father, who was in the Army Air Force, before they divided into two divisions at the end of the second World War. Her husband, two nephews, an adopted brother and a brother-in-law have also served in the Army. A second adopted brother also served in the Air Force.
When the committee started looking for items, Skipwith said she was a little surprised how many veterans were in her family.
"You don't even think about these things, because you lived it," Skipwith said.
Other items are on display at the 100 Building and other items will be brought in throughout the month.
"We wanted to honor these men and women, not just for one day, but for the whole month," Assistant Dean of Library/Learning Resources Tyrone Webb said.
Webb has also set up displays of patriotic books inside the library, including resources for the veterans who have completed their service and are returning to regular life.
Jana Kennedy, director of student services at Sumiton's campus, said that each campus has resources to assist veterans with financial aid and other programs that they may need. She also said the luncheon provided a chance for the veterans to voice questions or needs that Bevill can hopefully include in upcoming plans.
"The more we learn, the more we can help the people," Kennedy said.
