Oddly the announcement seems to be more about phaffing over how they have some British pop singer signed on to play the "bond girl" and is incredibly light on details about the actual game. No kidding, the press release was accompanied by three photos of this woman (No, go google Joss Stone) and no screenshots (although we dug a couple up here. Anyway, here's the section of PR that isn't about said pop sensation:
James Bond 007: Blood Stone features the likeness and voice talent of Daniel Craig, Joss Stone and Judi Dench and features an epic, original story developed by legendary screenwriter Bruce Feirstein. Players can engage in cover-based firefights, lethal hand-to-hand combat and speed their way through explosive adrenaline-fueled driving sequences as they embark on a global chase leading to action on land and sea through Athens, Istanbul, Monaco and Bangkok. Gamers can also feel what it is like to be a 00 agent, as they take the battle online in several robust 16-person multi-player modes that require skill, teamwork and strategy as players compete in matches that will have spies battling mercenaries.Check out the debut trailer here on AusGamers.
James Bond 007: Blood Stone is in the works for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, with a Nintendo DS game being developed separately by n-Space. No release window has yet been specified.

Police patrol on a street after a group of armed men attacked people at Kunming railway station, Yunnan province, March 1, 2014. At least 27 people have been killed in the "violent attack" at the train station in Kunming, the Chinese state news agency Xinhua said on Sunday. Another 109 were injured, the report added. It said the attack had taken place late on Saturday evening. Picture taken March 1, 2014. Wong Campion/Reuters
China's official Xinhua News Agency says authorities consider the attack by a group of knife-wielding assailants at a train station in southwestern China in which at least 27 people died to be an act of terrorism.
Xinhua did not identify who might have been responsible for the Saturday evening attack at the Kunming Railway Station in Yunnan province. But the news agency said authorities considered it to be "an organized, premeditated violent terrorist attack."
Local television station K6 said that several of the attackers were shot by police and that victims were transported to local hospitals. Xinhua says 27 people were killed and 109 others injured.
The Communist Party-run People's Daily reports that China's top police official, Politburo member Meng Jianzhu, is en route to Kunming, an indication of how seriously authorities view the attack.

text: It's finally over! No, not that war. The High Def, format war has come to an end. Toshiba has announced that they will stop making HD-DVD players clearing the path for Sony with Blu-ray. Although I did buy a cheap Toshiba HD-DVD player (so that I could have BOTH formats), that I will now be getting rid of, I couldn't be happier with the news! I have only bought one HD-DVD movie that is still in the shrink wrap. So no big loss there either. Now I can focus my attention clearly on Blu-ray and later in the year start outfitting the rest of my HDTV's with Blu-ray players. At the moment the Sony Playstation 3 is still the best bet for a Blu-ray player. You not only get a good gaming machine, but you also get the only Blu-ray player that is upgradeble via firmware updates to the new Blu-ray features slated for release later in the year. Newer players could be released that are just as upgradeable, but if you're looking to finally get on board with a Blu-ray player now, I would strongly suggest looking at the PS3.

Bring Natural Cafe To Lompoc
Tired of all the run of the mill "fast food" joints or restaurants in Lompoc. Sick of having to choose between healthy and tasty? Natural Cafe offers budget friendly food, that not only tastes great but is also healthy. Their main focus is on fresh, regional ingredients. Don't ruin all that hard work at the gym with garbage. I have been a customer of Natural Cafe for years, they have plenty of locations all over the central coast; except for Lompoc! Let's change that!

The Greenbriar Garden Shed Goes Up!Jun 22, 2014 | Collaborators, Exclaim Your Reclaim No comments yet
By Scott Boylston
What a day at Greenbriar Children's Center! Ninety-six degrees couldn't put a dent in the construction process for the garden shed we built. Over the next week, we'll get the door on, build a bench and some interior shelves, and then we'll adhere a plaque to the structure to remind everyone that it couldn't have been built if it weren't for construction materials that were destined for the landfill until Emergent Structures stepped in.
In nature there is no such thing as waste, and our goal is to help every city in this country understand that the material streams resulting from their C+D practices can be re-directed to create new, localized economies rather than creating bigger dumps. There can be community revitalization and economic development that stems from innovative and collaborative building deconstruction and material re-use, and this garden shed is just one example of how every community in the country can benefit.
If you've been following this project, you know who helped make this a great collaborative process.
Ethan Weyrick, with a recently minted M.Arch from SCAD, designed the shed and led the construction process. Two other SCAD interns, Sabrina Richter and Francisco Andrade, brought their own significant skills to the construction phase. Students at Savannah Tech pre-fabricated the walls under the tutelage of Steve Hartley, Emergent board member and director of Preservation Technology at Savannah Tech.
Our very own VP, Mark Fitzpatrick, Preservation Director at JT Turner, brought invaluable resources and skills, and a mountain of sweat to the construction. And Glenn Boylston—brother Glenn—hopped across the river from South Carolina to work his craftsmen's magic on the construction.
We also have our Materialanthropists Debra and Chuck Caldwell to thank for providing the opportunity for Emergent Structures to reclaim red cedar siding from their historic Savannah home.
And welcome to our new Materialantrhopist, Stratton Leopold! Stratton donated the beautiful red cedar used for trim and roof framing which was reclaimed from his property (1×7 and 2×8 respectively). Stratton also donated the reclaimed plywood for the roofing, and coordinated the reclaimation of 2x4s for the framing from the SpongeBob SquarePants 2 movie sound stage.
And of course many, many thanks to Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation for providing the funding for this project! Come back to our blog to see the plaque and the ribbon cutting!

Over the last 6-8 months the Greenbriar Children's Home (thanks to the contributions of the Metropolitan Savannah Rotary) has installed a wonderful raised-bed community garden on the grounds of their campus. Emergent Structures is building a garden shed so the keepers of this new amenity at Greenbriar have a place to store their tools and other garden supplies.

I have been volunteering for NMCRS for five years now and have loved every minute of it. The other volunteers who work here tirelessly give their time and efforts to help sailors in need and I have built a family working alongside them in every station we have been a part of. It's a wonderful charity!
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Increase the education portion, if possible. Financial education is the key! I also love the budget for baby classes, so if financial budget classes or something like this were offered I think it would be a great tool.
More feedback
Would you volunteer for this group again?
For the time you spent, how much of an impact did you feel your work or activity had?
Did the organization use your time wisely?
Very Well
Would you recommend this group to a friend?

Defensive Aggressiveness Showing At Camp
By Tim Yotter
Date: Jun 9, 2005
The Vikings are gaining confidence in their defense, and coordinator Ted Cottrell isn't hesitating to show faith in his players by sending them on all-out blitzes. Head coach Mike Tice agrees that he finally has the defenders to do that.
Early Wednesday morning, it was raining cats and dogs in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area.
Late Thursday morning, the Vikings defense was raining cats (cornerback blitzes) and dogs (linebacker blitzes) outdoors in Eden Prairie.
Whether it is the improved defensive talent or the second year for some of the defenders under coordinator Ted Cottrell, the Vikings appears ready to test their defensive stable.
During several full-team plays in Thursday's developmental camp practice, the defense brought more than just a one-man blitz. At times, the defense was willing to part with some combination of multiple linebackers, safeties and cornerbacks.
"First of all, our system is in. Last year we were putting things in, really looking at things to see if we had the personnel to do some things that Ted wanted to do. As it progressed, we realized that we weren't going to be able to be as aggressive or as blitzy as you saw (Thursday),� head coach Mike Tice said. "Now we have the guys on the edge, the guys in the backend that allow us to be blitzy with a powerful and athletic defensive front. There's a difference. The scheme is in and we're not trying to find our way scheme-wise. And they're starting to play defensively with some rhythm and that's a good sign.�
On two occasions, linebacker Napoleon Harris came away with the two-hand touch sack of Daunte Culpepper. Another time, safety Darren Sharper came around the outside for a sack. Better news still is that even when the defense didn't get to the quarterback before he released the ball, the defenders left in coverage weren't automatically prone to giving up the big downfield play.
It may be common for the defense to be ahead of the offense at this stage of the year, but with the Vikings bringing in a handful of new starters on that side of the ball, jelling together as a team might be an issue early on. Some defenders admit that will be the biggest challenge; others don't expect it to be an issue at all.
Either way, the upgraded talent is there, and the confidence Cottrell has in his new starters seems to be gaining momentum.
"I know the defense has won some competitions before in the past. I don't know if they've swept the week before. They swept this week and I think that's good,� Tice said. "We have some playmakers that are willing to go make plays on the ball.�
* After taking care of some business matters, running back Moe Williams returned to practice, as did first-round wide receiver Troy Williamson. Kicker Paul Edinger remained away from practice, waiting on the birth of his child.
* Former defensive terror John Randle was in attendance, visiting with staff during practice and taking a minute to give out hugs to former teammates Moe Williams, Brad Johnson and Tice. Randle has moved back to the Twin Cities and is doing a lot of golfing.
* T.J. Cottrell, the son of Ted and a tight end allocated by the Vikings to NFL Europe this spring, has been at practice every day this week but still isn't practicing. He is recovering from an assault outside a nightclub in Europe that left him in a hospital a few weeks ago.
* Brandon Newton, back from NFL Europe, is working at left guard.
* Running back Mewelde Moore saw one set where he was split out wide on the line of scrimmage.
* Marcus Robinson had the long gain of the day, a 60-yard reception from Daunte Culpepper.
* Travis Taylor had the catch of the day and added another very nice reception a couple plays earlier. The best catch came in the middle of the field, where he was sandwiched between and slightly behind cornerback Adrian Ward and linebacker E.J. Henderson. It appeared all three players had a hand on the ball simultaneously, but Taylor was the man who came away the reception. Earlier, Taylor made a nice catch over safety Rushen Jones and won the fight for the ball over him as well.
* Speaking of wrestling the ball away, receiver Ben Nelson did just that to cornerback Ralph Brown.
* Sharper had a 20-yard interception return for a touchdown off a pass thrown by Culpepper.
* Aaron Elling capped a 77-yard drive from the first-team offense with a 28-yard field goal seconds after Tice tried to distract him by walking between Elling and holder Darren Bennett and peering at Elling. During that drive, Culpepper had a 25-yard scramble.
* Williamson is seeing some action with the first-team offense, but the inconsistency remains. While he is a catching most passes, he did have one over-shoulder attempt that he appeared to have, then juggled while his momentum took him out of bounds.
* The Vikings will wrap up their developmental camps next week with practices Monday through Wednesday. Viking Update will be there with more practice reports and continue throughout the rest of the summer with interviews from the players.

The staff was very friendly and efficient. We were there for a teen tournament and they opened the buffet early to accommodate feeding about 30 people.
The noise level due to probably poor construction was a bit of an issue. We could hear the people above us walking around, but really sounded like they were jumping. Others in our group had the same experience.This was a very clean and well kept hotel. The room was extremely large and clean. I can't say enough about how impressed I was with the staff and their friendliness.

Weight Loss & Diet Plans
Vegetarian Diet May Prevent Diverticular Disease
Fiber Is the Broom That Sweeps the Colon Clean continued...
"Diverticular disease is related to the Western diet and the fact that we don't have enough fiber, and our diets are animal-based," she says. "This is why Western stools are very small."
"A high fiber, plant-based diet is like the broom that's sweeps the colon clean," she says.
Not all fiber is created equally. "We are not talking about muffins and breads and granola," she says. "Plant-based fibers such as kale and nectarine and cabbage and broccoli are really good."
A high-fiber diet can also help prevent a recurrence of diverticulitis if you already have a history, she says.
"Fiber keeps the stool moving so they don't fester in pockets and set up an inflammatory reaction," she says.
Anthony Starpoli, MD, a gastroenterologist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, often pushes fiber supplementation to his patients who have a history of diverticular disease.
"If they have evidence of diverticulosis, I recommend supplementing fiber to prevent flares," he says.

Heidi Blickenstaff, Jay Armstrong Johnson and Jessica Molaskey Join Cast of Encores! Most Happy Fella
By Andrew Gans
Casting is now complete for the New York City Center Encores! production of Frank Loesser's The Most Happy Fella, which will play the famed Manhattan venue April 2-6.
Tony winner Casey Nicholaw will direct the limited engagement with music direction by Rob Berman.
As previously reported, the cast will be headed by Tony winner Laura Benanti as Rosabella, Cheyenne Jackson as Joe and Tony winner Shuler Hensley as Tony. They will be joined by Heidi Blickenstaff as Cleo, Brian Cali as Ciccio, Bradley Dean as Guiseppe, Zachary James as Pasquale, Jay Armstrong Johnson as Herman, Jessica Molaskey as Marie and Kevin Vortmann as Doctor.
The ensemble will include Ryan Bauer-Walsh, Joseph Beutel, Ward Billeisen, Tanya Birl, Callie Carter, Daniel Curran, Kevin Grace, Steven Trumon Gray, Arlo Hill, Leah Horowitz, Andrea Jones-Sojola, Anne Kanengieser, Lizzie Klemperer, Eloise Kropp, Shina Ann Morris, Patricia Noonan, Lindsay O'Neil, Jessica Lea Patty, Aleks Pevec, Wayne Pretlow, Rachel Rhodes-Devey, Christopher Rice, Daniel Schwait, Manuel Stark, Sam Strasfeld, Kathryn Terza, Clay Thomson and Kathy Voytko.
Loesser's most ambitious and romantic musical, according to press notes, "tells the heart-stopping story of a love triangle between an aging Napa Valley farmer (Shuler Hensley), a young waitress (Laura Benanti) and a handsome, restless ranch hand (Cheyenne Jackson)."
The Most Happy Fella is based on the play They Knew What They Wanted by Sidney Howard. It has a book, music and lyrics by Loesser. Song titles include "Somebody Somewhere," "My Heart Is So Full of You," "Big D" and "Standing on the Corner."
The musical opened at the Imperial Theatre May 3, 1956, and ran for 676 performances. (The Most Happy Fella was revived by the New York City Center Light Opera at City Center for a limited run of 16 performances Feb. 10-22, 1959.) Broadway revivals were presented in 1979 and 1992.
Tickets can be purchased online and at the New York City Center Box Office beginning Sept. 3 (West 55th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues), through CityTix at (212) 581-1212, or online at www.NYCityCenter.org.

Demand returning for two- to four-unit 'plexes'
- Wendy Culverwell
- Staff Reporter- Portland Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
Portland's residential market posted one of its strongest months in years in August. Not surprising, the residential rebound is driving a revival in a related market: Small apartment complexes.
Tyler King, a broker with Carmel Siler Realty, specializes in an exceedingly narrow section of the commercial real estate market — the two- to four-unit apartment complexes, aka "plexes." Plexes are a critical piece of the multifamily market, providing not only housing, but opportunities for first-time investors. Joe Weston, principal with Weston Investment Co. and one of the region's most successful investors, famously began investing with a duplex.
The plex market is on the rebound, King reports after researching trends for the past 10 years.
The market rose — and fell — with the single family market. The average price for a plex peaked in 2007 at $152,515 per unit or $384,720 per transaction. Volume peaked in 2005 at 650 units transacted.
Since 2007, the impact of the recession has been obvious. The average price per unit fell more than 21 percent. There were fewer sales and longer market times.
In short, it was a buyers' market.
King said that's changing. He expects more than 200 transactions in 2012 for the first time since 2007. The average unit price has revived, reaching 2009 levels. Properties take an average of 44 days to sell, down from the record high of 70 set in 2011.
"The limited listing inventory and sluggish national economy have been the main hurdle holding the market back from a true breakout," he reports.

Jenrry Mejia
From BR Bullpen
Jenrry Manuel Mejia
- Bats Right, Throws Right
- Height 6', Weight 160 lb.
- Born October 11, 1989 in Tábara Arriba, Azua D.R.
[edit] Biographical Information
Jenrry Mejia made his MLB debut at age 20 in 2010.
Mejia was signed by the New York Mets in April 2007. He went 2-3 with a save and a 2.47 ERA for the 2007 DSL Mets with 47 strikeouts in 43 2/3 IP and only 24 hits allowed but walked 27. In 2008, he was 2-0 with one run in 15 IP for the GCL Mets and 3-2 with a 3.49 ERA for the Brooklyn Cyclones as the second-youngest performer in the New York-Penn League. He was 4th in the NYPL with a .209 opponent average and led the Gulf Coast League with one shutout.
In 2009, Mejia was with the St. Lucie Mets (4-1, 1.97) and Binghamton Mets (0-5, 4.47, 47 K in 44 1/3 innings). When he debuted with Binghamton, he was the youngest pitcher active in AA. He missed over a month late in the year with a strain on one of his right fingers. He had been named to the World team for the 2009 Futures Game but the injury caused him to be removed from the roster in favor of Francisco Samuel. He was then 1-3 with a 12.56 ERA in the Arizona Fall League.
Despite having never won a game above the A level, Mejia made the 2010 Mets bullpen out of spring training, one of 3 MLB rookies in the bullpen. The other two, though, were older pitchers, veterans of Nippon Pro Baseball - Ryota Igarashi and Hisanori Takahashi. In his MLB debut, he relieved John Maine with a 4-1 deficit in the 6th inning to face the 7th, 8th and 9th hitters. He allowed a single to Cody Ross and a double to Gaby Sanchez. He fanned opposing hurler Ricky Nolasco but Chris Coghlan singled in Ross. Cameron Maybin hit into a force at home and Hanley Ramirez grounded out. In the 8th, he was relieved by Sean Green. Altogether, he was 0-4 with a 4.62 ERA in 33 games for the Mets, including 3 starts, covering 39 innings. He also spent time with 4 minor league teams, ranging from the GCL Mets to the AAA Buffalo Bisons. He was outstanding in AA and AAA, putting up a 1.32 ERA in 6 starts for the Binghamton Mets, and ginving up a single run in 8 innings in his one AAA start for Buffalo.
Mejia was sent to Buffalo to open the 2011 season, and in the early going was 1-2 with a 2.86 ERA in 5 starts, giving up only 16 hits in 28.1 innings. Just when it looked like he was headed back to New York in the near future, he was taken out of a game in the 4th inning complaining of pain and was soon after diagnosed with a complete tear of the medial collateral ligament in his right elbow. He met with Dr. James Andrews and opted to undergo Tommy John surgery. He made his return to the Mets on September 7, 2012, after going 4-4, 3.59 at three different minor league levels during the season. On September 24th, he earned his first career major league victory, 6-2 over the Pittsburgh Pirates, benefiting from a pair of homers by 1B Ike Davis. He was 1-2, 5.41 in 5 games but again struggled with injuries in 2013. He made two starts each with three different minor league teams that season, putting up an ERA of 2.55 in 24 2/3 innings. After his second start at Binghamton, he was called up to the Mets at the end of July and made 5 starts during which he pitched quite well. His ERA was 2.46 in 27 1/3 innings, with 27 Ks and only walks, although his record was only 1-2. He then started the 2014 season as a starter for the Mets. He won 3 of his first 4 outings, the other being a no-decision. His April 21st start against the St. Louis Cardinals was the best of his career thus far as he pitched 6 2/3 scoreless innings in a 2-0 win.

Parking Quiz: Downtown Parking
It's no secret that parking in the city is a bitch. So we've enlisted local parking guru and author of Finding the Sweet Spot, David La Bua, to dish out weekly tips on navigating the ins and outs of city parking.
For those of you who work downtown and commute by car, listen up: there are more parking spots out there than you know about. We'll post about where they are and how to spot them in a few hours, but for now, test your parking IQ with this quiz (we'll post the answer to the quiz in a bit as well).
What percentage of moving traffic in the SF business districts are drivers searching for curbside parking?

Palo Alto's James Franco on Creating Cinematic Poetry as Ginsberg in 'Howl'
When Bob Rosenthal, executor of Allen Ginsberg's estate, first approached filmmakers Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman in 2005, asking them to do the seemingly impossible – adapt Ginsberg's 1956 epic poem Howl for a movie – they immediately accepted his challenge. But how to do it?
"There was no way we were going to make the 50th anniversary, but we made the 55th," says Friedman, 59. He and Epstein, an Oscar-winner for 1984's The Times of Harvey Milk, had previously directed The Celluloid Closet, a 1995 documentary chronicling the history of gays in cinema.
Oliver Stone's Stock Drops with Unfocused Return to 'Wall Street'
Perhaps the greatest validation of Wall Street, Oliver Stone's eloquent 1987 take on big-business corruption, was the eventual exposure of white-collar con men like Kenneth Lay and Bernie Madoff, whose unchecked greed would, years later, cost those who trusted them – and America – dearly.
Stone could at this point have let the facts speak for themselves, but instead chose to resurrect Gordon Gekko, the reptilian corporate raider, made famous by Michael Douglas, whose credo – "greed is good" – became the unofficial mantra of the Me Generation.
For Katie Holmes, Josh Duhamel, Love Hits the Rocks in 'The Romantics'
The constant wrangling we see in The Romantics, directed and adapted from her own novel by Prozac Nation screenwriter Galt Neiderhoffer, might leave us emotionally drained if only we cared more, or perhaps knew more, about the characters at the heart of her talky melodrama.
This much we do know: A group of well-to-do Yalies have gathered along the picturesque Long Island shore for the marriage of ruggedly handsome Tom (Josh Duhamel) and his spoiled, emotionally distant bride-to-be Lila (Anna Paquin).

But with the opening of Public Works, the neighborhood's hipsters are going to get a taste of something different (we'll call it Mission meets SoMa). The new multipurpose space is a gallery, bar, artist's workshop, and community room, with the goal of bringing underground scenes and styles together under one roof and promoting some of the Bay Area's most creatively-oriented nonprofits.

San Francisco's Irish Film Festival Returns to the Roxie Tonight
Founded in 2003, San Francisco's Irish Film Festival takes over the Roxie this weekend, kicking off the three-day festivities with the regional premiere of Ian Fitzgibbon's A Film with Me in It, a black comedy about a struggling actor (Mark Doherty) who seeks counsel from his hard-drinking best friend (Shaun of the Dead's Dylan Moran) when a series of freak accidents turns his run-down flat into a mass grave. Doherty, who wrote the script, will be on hand to field questions following the 9 p.m. screening.

(sorry) (yeah, I'm not sorry at all), a warbling fish taco, and a man romancing his cake.

With Dominoes Falling, Drew Locke Returns
As Zach Levine pointed out on Twitter earlier today, four Astros have gone on the disabled list in the past week. As a result of these moves, numerous players have had to be called up from Oklahoma City to Houston. In addition, today Jake Goebbert was promoted from Corpus Christi to Oklahoma City. Goebbert's promotion leaves a spot for an outfielder on the Hooks' roster.
That spot will be filled by Drew Locke, who had his best professional season as a member of the Hooks in 2009. In that season, Locke batted .338 with 20 home runs and 109 RBI. He spent 2010 and 2011 playing AAA for the Astros at Round Rock and Oklahoma City.
Locke left the Astros' organization after the 2011 season as a free agent. He played the first six weeks of the 2012 season with the Sugar Land Skeeters. In 40 games for the Skeeters, he had a .285 batting average, four home runs and 24 RBI.

On a serious note, ba<x>sed on your knowledge of history and health101, why is Santa Claus overweight?
He only gets exercise one night a year.
He lives at the North Pole. It's deadly cold there. So he has to have excess fat to store to keep warm also I am sure it is hard to come by food there so he has to have a supply of fat that his body can break down slowly over time. When he does come out into the world we only feed him sugary sweets.

Does this answer your question you Santa obsessed oddball?
Ahh it's just what we do. Don't know why. I always thought that my parents for high an ate the cookies but hey whateves.
Cos he is a fat, old, lazy S.O.B.
Santa Claus/ Father Christmas: This story grew up in the Eastern Mediterainian, most notably around Greece and Turkey. And is loosely ba<x>sed around A Turkish Bishop. This Bishop when a child, was known for his selflessness, and kindness, he came from a reasonably wealthy family. When he was a young adult, he became aware of a familiy that were facing a predicament, The father of a young woman had lost his wife and son the year before, all he had was his precious daughter, because of various problems, he had been unable to pay his taxes to the local landowner. The landowner had threatened to take the mans daughter as his wife, as "payment " of taxes owed. The man was distraught, and feared losing his daughter to this landowner. The kind young man of wealthy family, went to the village one night, and is said to have thrown a bag of gold coins through the mans window, this kindness became known far and wide, and the mans daughter was saved from an unwanted marriage. When the young man grew up, he was drawn toward the church, and eventually became a Bishop, bishops in that part of the world in those times wore a red robe, add that to the fact that this man lived to be an old man ( grey beard) and you have the ingrediants of the myth of a fat man (wealthy and well fed) who wore a red robe ( Bishops robe) with a beard ( he lived to be an old man) who was extremely kind and giving to all people. Google the story, this man really existed, I cannot recall his name, but he was Turkish, and did become a Bishop.
I am assuming he is really cold, and has 3 suits on..The European version of saint Nick is taller and slender..it is the USA version that has him as a very round guy, that has had way too many all you can eat buffet dinners.
Gobbling down all of those cookies and treats kids from all over the world leave out for him. How he manages to get down a chimney is beyond me!
Because he is a greedy bastard and takes no exercise
He's a compulsive eater because he only c u m s once a year.
All the milk and cookies.
he eats the naughty-not nice ones....
Cuz he's the head honcho
it's fashionable in the elven culture
Saint Nicholas was never portrayed as fat until Clement Clark Moore portrayed him as such in his poem "Twas the Night Before Christmas."
It's a thyroid condition he picked up visiting Chernobyl.
he only wakes up in december...rest of the time he sleeps. Hence the fat accumulation

Steve Alford was hired as UCLA basketball coach on Saturday, spurning New Mexico days after he agreed to a new 10-year deal with the Lobos for a chance to run what he called "the premier basketball program in the country."
The Bruins are bringing in someone who shares the same Indiana roots as John Wooden, who led UCLA to a record 10 national championships, including seven in a row, before retiring in 1975. Alford learned about Wooden as a first-grader in Martinsville, Ind., where his father, Sam, coached the high school basketball team at Wooden's alma mater.
"Ever since then there was a draw to find out more about him," Alford said on a teleconference. "I know my first steps into Pauley I will really feel that."
Alford agreed to a seven-year deal worth $18.2 million, with a yearly salary of $2.6 million and a $200,000 signing bonus, according to UCLA athletic director Dan Guerrero.
Alford will be introduced in Westwood on Tuesday.
"This is truly a leap of faith," he said.
Guerrero said UCLA reached out to Alford first, not knowing whether he would be interested in the Bruins. Once he confirmed he was, the details were finalized early Saturday, Guerrero said.
"It was not an easy decision because I was extremely happy," Alford said. "I was about as happy as I can be. When I kept thinking about things, it still came back to UCLA. You're talking about the premier basketball program in the country. To have an opportunity like this, they don't come around every day."
Guerrero said Alford is "the perfect fit for UCLA" because he connects with a new generation of players and brings an up-tempo and team-oriented style of play to Westwood.
"He's ready for this stage," Guerrero said.
Alford's deal with New Mexico, scheduled to take effect on April 1, was worth more than $20 million over 10 years.
Guerrero said Alford is responsible for a buyout of his agreement in Albuquerque, but that UCLA would work out the details. Both Alford and New Mexico athletic director Paul Krebs said they didn't know how much the buyout was worth.
Alford, who is 48, succeeds Ben Howland, who was fired last weekend after 10 years and a 233-107 record that included three consecutive Final Four appearances and four Pac-12 titles. The Bruins were 25-10 this season, which ended with a 20-point loss to Minnesota in the second round of the NCAA tournament.
Alford led New Mexico to a 29-6 record this season that included the Mountain West regular-season and tournament titles. But the Lobos were upset by Harvard in the second round of the NCAAs shortly after Alford's new contract had been announced.
Alford had a 155-52 record in six years at New Mexico, with the Lobos making three trips to the NCAA tournament. He was selected Mountain West coach of the year three times.
"I'm about building programs, not teams, not seasons," Alford said. "UCLA doesn't just want one winning season, UCLA wants a basketball program that is going to breed consistent excellence. I've always tried to do things with excellence. When you think of UCLA in every regard, you see the word excellence."
Expectations have always been high in Westwood since Wooden's era. The Bruins own a record 11 national championships but have won just one — in 1995 under Jim Harrick — since Wooden retired.
"Nobody understands pressure any more than I do. I've been under pressure since I was 16," said Alford, whose high school gym in New Castle seats nearly 10,000 and frequently sold out when he was there. "You're not going to find anybody more competitive than I am."
Guerrero said, "He's not the kind of guy that will shy away from what UCLA basketball is all about."
The Lobos didn't just lose Alford, they also won't have his son, Bryce, on their roster next season. Alford said his highly touted son would follow him to Westwood, continuing a tradition that Alford first established when he played under his father at New Castle.
Krebs said it was clear when he talked to Alford on Saturday morning that his mind was made up, and although he's disappointed, he said he respected the decision.
Krebs said it was like a "bomb dropped in the room" when Alford told his players he was leaving.
"This is a very emotional time," Krebs said. "There is no good way to break the news to the young men in the program. ... There's a lot of raw emotion right now."
Alford said, "That's not easy to look those young men in the face, but I think they understand. The reason they understand is it's UCLA. If it was anywhere else, this is not a decision that would have been made."
Lobos senior center Alex Kirk said, "Nobody would say no to UCLA. That's crazy."
Guerrero had said he wanted a coach who would help boost season ticket sales. The Bruins had just a few sellouts at newly renovated Pauley Pavilion this season.
"I think the UCLA family will embrace him. I think he'll be able to hit on all cylinders," Guerrero said. "He'll be able to energize the fan base in so many ways. Look at New Mexico, they get 15,000 a game. It's madness there."
Alford is known for his up-tempo coaching style, which should suit Bruins fans turned off by Howland's grind-it-out defensive emphasis.
"We do like to score points, we like transition, we like to get up and down the floor," he said, while noting that defense wins championships. "Ultimately, it's about the product — are they good young men of character and integrity?"
Alford called recruiting in fertile Southern California "of the utmost importance." He had players from the region on his New Mexico roster, including Kendall Williams, who became Mountain West player of the year.
"I will hit the ground running," he said, noting the respect he has for high school coaches was formed through his father.
Alford's other head coaching stints were at Iowa (2000-07), Missouri State (1996-99) and Manchester College (1992-95).
Alford is famous in the Hoosier state, where he starred at Indiana University from 1984-87 under coach Bob Knight. The Hoosiers won the national championship in his senior year. He also played on the gold medal-winning 1984 U.S. Olympic basketball team in Los Angeles as a college sophomore. Knight coached that team. Alford said he put in a call to his former coach about taking the UCLA job.
Alford was drafted by the Dallas Mavericks in 1987 and played four years in the NBA before starting his head coaching career at tiny Division III Manchester.
As a high school senior, Alford averaged 37.7 points and was Indiana Mr. Basketball.
Besides Bryce, Alford and his wife, Tanya, have a son, Kory, and a daughter, Kayla.

If today's crop of young farmers and ranchers plan to play a part in the future of agriculture, they must position themselves where this industry will be – not where it is.
Wheat harvest started in spots around Great Bend about ten days ago, been interrupted by rains, and slowed by high humidities. As of Thursday, the reports are pretty much what was expected with a few pleasant surprises. There was a fair amount of wheat south of Great Bend and in other areas baled, chopped, or killed off. Of the wheat being cut reports range from the teens to a lot of twentyish bushels per acre to sporadic reports of 35 and even 40 bushels per acre in select areas. Test weight reports are plus or minus 60 pounds per bushel ...
Water has been a major issue in Kansas for the past several years. With the drought still looming heavily in everyone's mind, and issues such as crop irrigation, water for livestock, and watering your garden, the discussion about who has a right to the available water remaining can and has become heated. Everyone in the community have different opinions on what should be done to conserve our resources. The Kansas Water Office is compiling opinions and ideas from the people of Kansas about our water resources, and is formulating a 50 year water plan. Right now, an initial draft ...
At their convention, Texas Republicans compared immigrants to terrorists, claimed therapy can cure homosexuality, and insisted that the only thing a rape survivor has the right to choose is to stay home and raise her child.

First Happy Fathers' Day to all the dads reading this. While this sounds like a broken record, the rains certainly helped but didn't end the drought. The latest drought monitor map (reflects conditions through June 10) shows some improvement but the area is still in the Sever to Extreme categories. This is for two reasons. First, the area is still far behind the average yearly total for this date. Two, the drought monitor reflects soil moisture conditions. While this rain didn't help area wheat much, it was great for summer row and feed crops. This is also a ...
Over the past few weeks, we have finally been blessed with a significant amount of participation. With increased moisture, the number of mosquitos will rise and begin to plague outdoor activities in greater numbers. This is because mosquitos lay their eggs in still water, and when there is standing water in an area, the mosquito population will rise with the increased number of nurseries. Now that we have had a significant rain event, there is standing water in many places just waiting for a female to lay her eggs.
Each day, farmers and ranchers pull on their boots, roll up their sleeves and go to work outside rural communities across Kansas.

All across our country Americans are checking their automobiles, studying road maps and adding another item to their "to do" lists in preparation for long-awaited summer vacations.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has announced "a new era in American conservation efforts" with an historic focus on public-private partnership. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP), created in the 2014 Farm Bill, will fund a number of conservation activities across Kansas. "This is an entirely new approach to conservation," Vilsack said. "We're giving private companies, local communities, and other non-government partners a way to invest in what are essentially clean water start-up operations."

Lately, I have been getting questions concerning weed control in home lawns. The best solution for weed control is to have a thick, healthy lawn that will not allow the weeds to take hold in the first place.

I thought that I would share a piece by Ward Upham, K-State Research and Extension Horticulture specialist about fertilizing recommendations in warm season lawns.

A century ago when this state consisted mainly of farm and ranch families, it was a common sight to see neighbors helping neighbors. They swapped farm machinery.

This year, despite a late freeze, looks to be a great year for apples. Everywhere I look, I see branches loaded down with ripening fruit. The heavy loads may cause extra strain on the tree, and as the apples increase in size, the additional weight may be substantial. To help your tree be able to bear this weight, you can use one- inch thick boards to prop up limbs. Cut a "V" on the top edge of the board on which the limb will rest so that it doesn't slip off. Long limbs that are heavily loaded with fruit ...
So what can be realistically be done to deal with pesticide resistance once it happens? When pests develop resistance to pesticides, it is a difficult challenge but in most cases not an impossible one. The key to the effectiveness of these management practices include cost, time, markets and climate. Also remember we are speaking about resistance developing in insects and diseases, not just weeds.
A Kansas State University veterinarian is cautioning residents of Kansas and surrounding states about a highly contagious viral disease that affects horses and livestock - and can sometimes affect humans.

As most people know, Kansas is the top wheat producing state in the USA. The first Kansas wheat crop was planted in Johnson County in 1839, since then, the yields farmers are able to harvest have more than doubled. This comes in part from universities and private companies breeding new varieties for better resistance to different pressures including fungal and bacterial. Newer varieties also have heat and drought resistance, which increase yields depending on what variety is planted in a given year. One way these organizations know how a wheat variety will perform is by planting it into a field ...
Last week's column described how pesticide resistance develops. Today describes how it can be prevented and next week how to manage it once it occurs. But first a brief review of how this problem arises. For more detail see last week's column.
