Venezuela's foreign debt payments up 48% in 2013
Economic research firm Ecoanalítica estimates that Venezuela's oil revenues will not be sufficient in 2013
Friday December 21, 2012 11:33 AM
Think tank Ecoanalítica's last report on economic perspectives warns that Venezuela's oil revenues will not be enough to meet liabilities arising from the foreign debt and imports.
"Considering our estimates for next year, the oil price will stand at USD 104 per barrel whereas export will account for 2.22 million of oil barrels per day. Notwithstanding, we have observed that oil revenues will not be sufficient to meet domestic US dollar demand," the report explains.
Likewise, a rise in the amortization of payments and interests deriving from the foreign debt will lead to a 48% jump (USD 18.4 billion) in expenditure with respect to 2012.
Furthermore, if all pending payments related to imports and services are included, the aforementioned amount climbs to USD 87.4 billion while only USD 75.5 billion will be received through oil exports after Venezuelan state-owned oil Company Pdvsa pays all its foreign bills.
Ecoanalítica believes that if the Government refrains from taking on further liabilities in US dollars, "the adjustment is made via private imports and "it all seems that the import boom reported this year will be hard to keep up in 2013. Thus, devaluation and restrictions to obtain US dollars through Cadivi will be ready to be triggered."

What are you recognizing in others, who behaves in ways that irritate you most? Remember; when you make things personal what others say or do, it becomes something you have to deal with, if you like it or not.
Saturday's Austrian Dinner Club at Art Bistro Agora was really a belated birthday treat for myself - I had celebrated 'my special day' on Thursday. The drinks on the day itself at the same venue had been absolutely lovely with many dear friends stopping by my new venue. I enjoyed catching up, sipping sparkling wine and nibbling on chips.
On Saturday it was time for something more substantial and as I told some friends, in Austria we eat Goulash year round, hot or cold out. Goulash with dumplings to me is always a special treat even though considered quite 'common' food back home, to me it's a real birthday meal. To the guests it was also a treat and both the vegetarian potato version and the beef version were much appreciated.
I had been undecided about starters and when my physics teacher from looong ago with whom I have recently reconnected asked via Facebook about it I told him so.
Federal Bank of the Middle East (FBME) clients are financially stranded after the Central Bank wound down the Cyprus operation on the basis that it was protecting the banking sector, according to CyprusNewsReport.com sources.
Former minister of commerce Praxoula Antoniadou has lost her 81-year-old mother in a fatal road accident in Limassol, said police.
The accident happened on August 18th, when Semele Antoniades was crossing Leontiou A road, and was hit by a car driven by a 43-year-old man from Limassol.
The victim had head injuries and multiple fractures from the impact, and did not survive her injuries.
The driver has been arrested, and had no traces of alcohol, according to authorities.
The owners of an Ayia Napa hotel apartment complex have been arrested on suspicion of negligence after the drowning death of 18-year-old Savaki Georgiou in their swimming pool.
During his brief visit to President Nicos Anastasiades in Troodos this week, UK Defence Minister Michael Fallon said that the British Bases in Cyprus have been used to airdrop 100 tons of aid to refugees trapped in the Sinjar mountains, who are fleeing Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorists in northern Iraq.
Deflation slowed to minus 0.6 percent in July, compared to minus 1.2 percent in June, said the Cyprus Statistical Service.
Prices fell by 0.86 percent due to summer sales. There was an increase in certain vegetable prices, electricity and petrol products, according to the survey.
For the first seven months of the year, deflation was the main trend, showing a decrease of 1.8 percent in prices compared to the same period in 2013, said CySTAT.
Cyprus is being hit by Russia's EU food import ban, which covers 52 categories of goods, said government spokesman Nicos Christodoulides.
The affected products include citrus fruit, fish, vegetables, Halloumi cheese, and fruit. The total amount is 13.5 million euros, said the spokesman.

A Saginaw Valley State University professor has been arrested and charged with possessing child pornography.
Robert J. Thaler, 71, has been an assistant professor of sociology at the universityl where he's worked since 1974.
Thaler was charged with nine counts of being in possession of child sexually abusive material, which, if convicted, carries a maximum prison sentence of four years for each charge.
On Wednesday, SVSU released this statement on the professor's case:
In late January 2012, SVSU became aware of apparent wrongdoing involving the misuse of a University computer by a faculty member. We immediately began an investigation and contacted the Saginaw County Prosecutor's Office. In early February 2012, we sent the computer to the FBI's Mid-Michigan Area Computer Crimes Task Force for further investigation. We also began internal disciplinary proceedings. These proceedings resulted in the unpaid suspension of this individual, who has not taught classes at SVSU since April 2012 and has been banned from being present on campus.
We have been awaiting the results of the FBI's investigation and recently learned that criminal charges have been brought against this individual. The unpaid suspension will remain in effect, pending the outcome of any criminal proceedings.
Since this is now a criminal matter, SVSU will have no further comment at this time.
Thaler was arraigned on Tuesday and is currently free on bond. He will be back in front of a judge for a preliminary hearing on June 20.

I've been toying with the idea for some time of putting a tap on my primary fermentor to phase out siphoning all together. I've sure I could even rig a u-bend although it would probably collect a certain amount of trub during the process (but at least limit more being sucked in to the secondary).
I guess my question is do you siphon or did you go for a tap? Pros/cons, ect? Cheers!
I assume you use a bucket for a fermenter? Get one of these and never siphon again (until you make the inevitable switch to carboys, that is...)http://www.williamsbrewing.com/INVERT_TUBE_BACKNUT_P179C104.cfm
The shipping will probably cost more that the part, but oh, well. Oh, and don't forget the spigot!
I have a spidot on my plastic primary. I love it. I works fine...never a problem.
I usually drain 90% of the beer out...then put something stable underneath the primary to tilt it and get the remaining few percent out....just be careful not to create waves that will disturb the seditment. The hole on mine is about 1.25 -1.5inches from the floor of the bucket....any lower and you will get sediment when you open the spidgot.
It also is great for bottling: just cut a 6- 8" piece of hose, attach with a stainless clamp and you get quick, clean and easy way to fill your bottles.
One more tip....when cleaning and sanitizing, open the spidgot to leave the sanitizer flow through so all is sterilized.

METAIRIE, La. (AP) — Saints wide receiver Marques Colston has never been to Hawaii. His teammates would like to see him go the all-expenses-paid route — with Pro Bowl honors. For that to happen, Colston probably will have to record his seventh 1,000-yard receiving season since entering the league in 2006, and do so while coming back from injury.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The New Orleans Bowl has extended its relationship with the Sun Belt Conference for an additional six years, running through the 2019 season. The bowl was created in 2001 to give the then-fledgling Sun Belt Conference a post-season tie-in.

The 'scariest selfie' is a daring stunt, but could have been a social stance against racism.
The Greenville County Coroner has identified a 10-year-old boy who died after collapsing during baseball practice.
Deputy Coroner Kent Dill said it happened Thursday evening at Woodside Park in Fountain Inn. The coroner said Michael Patrick Blake, of Fountain Inn, was participating in a youth baseball team practice when he suddenly collapsed to the ground and became unresponsive at about 8 p.m.
According to Dill, several off-duty medical professionals were at the park and immediately began treatment. The coroner said the boy was transported to the Pediatric Emergency Department at Greenville Memorial Hospital, where he died a short time later.
An autopsy was performed on Friday. Dill said the cause and manner of death is pending microscopic studies.
The incident is being investigated by the Fountain Inn Police Department and the Greenville County Coroner's Office.
A prayer for Blake was said at his team's game on Friday.

Spot the chicken.
They are jungle fowl after all.
Amie to the rescue.
And after that, we had dinner.
And then dessert.
Ironic, that I didn't intend to grow tomatoes – getting plenty of them from a local farmstand and from our CSA box – but that I put in just a few seedlings that a friend gave me, and some seedlings I grew to give away but never got to, and that now tomatoes are my most successful crop!
Today's harvest:
That big one weighs a pound and a half! All three ripe ones are Paul Robesons, officially the only big tomato I've ever been able to grow to maturity. A day or two on the counter will bring out their blush. They're divine raw, sliced, with salt and pepper, or mixed into a cucumber salad.
I keep finding lots of green tomatoes on the ground. They don't go to waste: I fry them up. There is also always a ripe or near-ripe one that is half eaten. Those go to the chickens, who love them.
Today we fired up the oven again and made pizza. We just wanted pizza so didn't add the rocket stove to the mix for baking.
We found a good routine that doesn't involve rushing. We burned a small fire for about 45 minutes, which was sufficient to bring the baking stone up to 850F: perfect for pizza! We then raked the coals to one side and made one pizza on the other side. When one side of the pizza was cooked, we rotated it. Then we took it out and, while we prepared the next pizza, we simply raked the coals back to the middle so it could regain a good temperature again.
We did that for three pizzas and it worked wonderfully. We could easily have made three more with that system and without having to add more sticks to the fire.
And here was today's garden harvest:
Yesterday we built the rocket stove extension to our earth oven. The idea is to keep on pumping in heat after the fire in the oven has burned down to coals and you rake it aside to start cooking, and also to have more control over the temperature.
For the bottom part we just did what the Pragmatic Stoic did. Our only adjustment was an old grate that we had lying around instead of flashing.
Setup is gloriously fast: not counting our "Home Depot date," where we had fun putting the chimney puzzle together, it took us fifteen minutes. And it was relatively cheap: cinder blocks go for $1.50 a piece, and all the chimney pieces came to about $30.
The cinder block part of the stove involves an open block, which they didn't have at the Depot. So DH showed off his karate chop:
What do you think about that!
The top of the chimney has an inbuilt flue, which allows us to control the draft, and also to vent the first ashy smoke so it doesn't go into the earth oven. It only takes a minute or so, though, to start burning really clean.
Once we've played around with it and see that it really does the job, we'll include it in the third, decorative envelope of the oven. This will make the stove tighter as well as insulate it, giving it more oomph.
Then I lit the fire – I'm the fire starter and keeper in the family. It only takes sticks, burns hot, clean and fast, and unlike the earth oven fire, which uses larger pieces of wood, it needs to be fed constantly.
We played with the draft, opening and closing the flue, putting the lid on the chimney. While getting the hang of it the heat did some more drying out of the earth oven, which is still pretty wet. For that reason, we also lit a a fire in the oven. The difference between the blast-off rocket stove fire and the ponderous Jabba earth oven is amazing.
This short fire brought the top inside wall temp up to 800 F. There was a marked difference between the south side, which is much drier, and the north side wall, which is still visibly wet. Anyway, a lot more drying is needed, and tomorrow we'll make another fire. We have pizza materials on hand.
Amie during all this time had fun with her aunt, who was visiting. They harvested the abundant cherry tomatoes.
They also lazed in the hammock. Look at those toes!
Made 25 pints of blueberry jam from Farmers Market berries and another batch from 5 quarts of berries Amie and I picked at a very locally IPM place with friends one thunderstormy afternoon. We came out of the field drenched but happy and surprised we had been picking for three hours. Our tribe will be co-purchasing and canning peaches again.
Blanched and froze 4 lbs of green beans, half of these from our garden, half donated by a friend whose community garden plots are going wild. We've been sharing a lot of produce, one garden producing more of this than the other.
Put together two 5-gallon carboys of sweet mead with the winterkill honey, which I pasteurized. They're bubbling away in the basement and should be done in few weeks – but that won't stop me from going down there and thieving some for a taste.
We've been consistently harvesting onions, green beans, cherry tomatoes (the bigger ones are almost there), kale, chard, squash, zucchini, cucumber and tons of herbs from the garden. That plus our farm share is more than sufficient for our needs, and when I walk into the supermarket nowadays I skip the produce section altogether. I only (and rarely) mushrooms, but then I just spotted an enormous chicken-of-the-woods in the neighborhood, beckoning. Come to think of it, all I buy at the supermarket is the very occasional fish or meat and butter, and predominantly milk.
With our town's Green Team had a booth at the Farmers Market yesterday. We displayed all the harvests from the school gardens – all of which went to the Food Pantry this morning – photos of our school composting systems, and talked to people. We also sold some of my Spring honey as a fundraiser, as well as purslane harvested (weeded) from all our gardens. We ended up giving lots of it away and having lots left over too. No worries: I brought it home and made it into potato-purslane soup, most of it for freezing. Yum!
The chickens have been consistent layers and we're looking forward to the pullets starting to lay (in September or thereabouts)m at which point our bartering power will increase significantly. The two flocks are "together" – well, in the same shared space, namely the chicken yard – during the day, but at night they still retire to their own coops.
Lastly, how lovely, really, to get books delivered that you had forgotten you'd ordered. A big batch for me today: Pioneer Women by Stratton, Pioneer Women by Peavy and Smith, The Klamath Knot by Wallace, The Way to Rainy Mountain and In the Bear's House, both by Momaday.
We demolished the Earth Oven because the inner earth layer was dropping too much dust and too many chunks into the food – we dubbed that "mushroom and mineral pizza". There wasn't enough clay in the mixture: too much sand. We saved and kept separate the two layers, bought 50 lbs moist potter's clay and on a warm day, experimented with slip (clay and water), "clump" (slip and the earth mix from the inner dome we had saved), and builders sand. The clay/slip really made a difference. All our bricks held up better than the best brick the first time around. Choosing the optimal combination of clay (you don't want too much of this as it shrinks), earth (which we didn't have a lot of) and sand, we set to work.
Making the new mix for the inner layer was a tough job, since it involved getting the ingredients to mix really well, and one was very dry, one very wet, the other very gritty. My friends Andrea and R came over to help. A helped DH build the new sand dome, and R and I got our hands and feet dirty, mixing the clump.
Another day, DH and I built the first dome, the thermal mass:
Because our sand was wet, it added too much moisture and the clay got lazy and fat and started sweating and bulging. We call this the "Jabba Effect," to wit:
(I was playing with an image of Princess Leia as well, but it was just too painful. But here's a picture of DH being eaten by Jabba:
We weren't too bummed about the Jabba Effect: it would settle eventually. Today we built the next, insulating layer and chimney. Amie and I had fun doing a mud dance.
DH added some clay+sand mix to the chimney, as it will be right above the food (an experiment):
We also left a hole in the back, for where we plan to hook up the rocket stove. Now there's a part of the project we still need to think about.
Looks like we'll soon be back in business. After this has dried out a little, we'll light our first fire.

According to our solar meter, we produced 14979 kWh since the system was turned on in August 2011 and 1230 kWh over the last two months (you can follow our solar harvest live here). Since we made enough electricity so as not to have to buy electricity from Nstar, and made credit too – but it's hard to tell how much – I can say for sure that we've used definitely no more than:
615 kWh per month
Heating Oil and Warm Water. This too is calculated for the entire household. Our solar hot water system (installed in February last year) took care of all our hot water.
0 gallons of oil / month
0% of the US National Average
Water. This is calculated per person. We continue doing well in this category, and I don't know how, which means it has just become a habit to be water-frugal, I hope.
418 gallons pp. per month
13.9% of the US National Average
Trash. After recycling and composting this usually comes down to mainly food wrappers.
6 lbs. pp per month
4.4 % of the US National Average
We just had an almighty deluge come down like it was going to wash us all off the face of the planet. Aside from some flooding in the basement and porch, a wet husband and some wet chickens, all is well down here. Not so for the bees in the exposed nest up high in the tree. What were they thinking?! They're a sodden mess, and half the population must have been washed away. Incredibly, the wax comb – six "frames" of it by now – looks intact, but I doubt the contents (brood, honey) did so well…
My strong hive, H6, swarmed, possibly for a second time, on 7/14. Here's one of of my friend Doug's pictures of the swarm:
They hung out on a tree about 60 feet up, still on our property, for days. Then I thought they were gone, and I stopped checking on them. My neighbor, however, has a much better vantage point from his property. Yesterday evening he alerted me that they're still there, and making a nest.
No way, I said. Out in the open, in the place they swarmed to? Usually they'll hang out outside while the scouts find a suitable new place, then they'll come to a unanimous decision about what is the best place – which is what honeybee swarms do, following what bee-guru Thomas Seeley calls a true democratic process. Then they'll fly off there and start filling what is usually a cavity in a tree or wall with comb, honey, brood, and live and hopefully prosper.
In this case, I guess, the scouts found nothing suitable, or they couldn't come to that unanimous decision, and settled with the place they had swarmed to: 60 feet high on a tree, exposed to sun, wind, rain and, in a few months, frost. Their changes of surviving the winter are near to zero. But that's what they did.
Waiting for the wind to whip some of the intervening branches out of my line of sight, I took these images. As you can see, they've already built three honeycombs and it is dripping with honey.

Cornthwaite grabs success at Rivington Pike Fell Race
9:50am Tuesday 13th April 2010 in Athletics By Andy McAllister, Athletics correspondent
NO race typifies the Easter weekend better than the historic Rivington Pike Fell Race which dates back to 1892.
Five years ago came the 50th anniversary of the modern open race and this year, after three successive victories, British champion Rob Hope was in with a shout of equalling Paul Dugdale's tally of six in the post war era.
Instead the 2006 winner Tom Cornthwaite won it for Blackburn Harriers, and with their recent signing Ricky Lightfoot eclipsing Hope for second by four seconds, the Harriers took the team prize too after Josh Tighe made fifth.
Dugdale was the winning over-40 veteran in eighth while the in-form Matt Nuttall was third in class also for Blackburn, and Darwen's Horwich RMI Harrier Graham Schofield won the over 50s.
Beckie Taylor was the leading U17 as well as being third woman behind Leigh's Laura Riches. Jackie Redmayne was seventh and second over-40 for Chorley Harriers, while Rossendale's Karen Taylor in ninth won the over 50.
There was a clash of events this year with the Pendle Race also falling on Easter Saturday, and the junior races there are becoming a real featur. The exceptional Elizabeth Greenwood, Blackburn Harriers, demonstrated her prowess by beating all-comers in the U12s.
There were a few familiar names in action too, notably Isaac Wilkinson, the son of Clayton stalwart Garry, second in the U8 boys' list.
Pendle AC were out in force too on home territory with Ella and Kia Atkins, Matthew Barnes, Tiarnan Corken and James Marchant all making top three positions as did the Williamsons from Rossendale – Shauna and Leah, and Blackburn's Pearse family Esme and Polly.

But it does not work with underdeveloped eggs. I put some in with OGO 95-18 and only a few hatched out, the next day the were still live microworms and unhatched eggs.

Weather Report Teacher Resources
Find Weather Report educational ideas and activities
Showing 1 - 20 of 453 resources
Fourth graders generate an oral presentation on the weather. For this weather lesson, 4th graders watch the weather for a week and record the data on a chart. Students give a weather report at the end of the week.
Students create their own weather report. In this weather activity, students work in groups to predict the weather for three days and create their own video. They have a director, camera-person, still cameraman, and two weathermen.
Students complete a weather report chart after studying weather patterns for a period of time. In this weather report lesson, students measure temperature, precipitation, cloud cover, wind speed, and wind direction for a month. Students chart and graph weather data as well as analyze the data using mathematical formulas.
In this weather report worksheet, students complete a weather report on their favorite season in a group. Students observe and evaluate, complete a table for the report, and present it in a group.
Third graders practice making predictions about weather from conditions they observe on weather instruments and weather reports. Learners are introduced to the most basic weather reporting instruments: the thermometer, the wind vane, the anemometer, the barometer, and the rain gauge. An excellent hands-on activity is embedded in the plan, along with terrific activities.
Third graders make predictions about weather and utilize weather instruments and weather reports. They match weather components with weather instruments, and demonstrate how to read a thermometer. Students also construct and use a wind vane and read and summarize weather reports.
Students become weather reporters. In this weather forecast instructional activity, students watch forecasts and discuss what the reporter focused on. They create their own weather forecast as if they are a reporter in the eye of the storm.
Students use authentic weather reports in order to investigate the processes involved in the creation of types of weather. They practice using key words for vocabulary. Then students analyze the weather reports and convey the information to the rest of the class.
Young scholars list and name various kinds of weather conditions occurring in their city. Using the newspaper as a resource, students answer questions relating to written weather reports. This lesson is intended for young scholars acquiring English.
Students examine their geography skills. In this weather forecasting instructional activity, students select a location and research it. Students write a weather report or forecast for the chosen location based on their research.
Students select a place they would like to study. Then, they gather information and write the important facts on their note cards. After that, they write a weather report or a weather forecast for the place they chose.
Young scholars locate a weather map on the internet and explain or predict the weather for the following day. Students interpret the information on the weather map and pick the correct clothing to wear for that day. Young scholars chart and graph the weather for a daily weather report. Adaptations for different age groups are included.
Students define and practice pronouncing basic German vocabulary related to weather, investigate current weather reports in various German cities, examine cultural difference of metric usage, and share findings with classmates by role playing meteorologists.
Learners communicate in the Inupiat language using weather related vocabulary, numbers, and days of the week. They prepare a weather forecast and present it as if they were on a television news program. The forecast must be entirely in the Inupiat language.
Young scholars, in groups, write scripts and perform "live" weather reports from "actual" sites where extreme weather or natural disasters are occurring. They choose from hurricanes, blizzards, tornados, and earthquakes. They videotape their reports using props, etc.
Students, in groups, investigate and demonstrate the science behind the development and characteristics of winter storms by creating a weather report.
Sight words, word recognition, and flash card drills are the mode for teaching that is outlined here. To increase weather vocabulary and content specific word recognition, kids with special needs work through flash card drills. The teacher chooses several weather words out of a weather report, uses them to create flashcards, then drills the learners until they can identify them correctly. They then attempt to identify each word in context.
Fourth graders keep a record of the daily high and low temperatures and times of sunrise and sunset for three to four weeks. This information can be found in the newspaper, weather reports or on the Internet. The information is analyzed and conclusions are drawn about weather trends.
Students examine instruments used to measure weather, record the data, and post it to an online weather report. They include a 24 hour prediction, keep a weather log, and graph the data.
Students investigate methods of weather prediction prior to modern communication sources. A local elder lectures the class on weather prediction and safety. They document the experience by creating posters. Applying methods given by the guest speaker, they keep weather journals of the daily conditions and their predictions. Working in groups, they create local weather reports in the Inupiat language.

Man still top dog at poker
The Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) wrapped up its Man vs Machine Poker Challenge yesterday, and, as we had suspected, the human element won out, although the margin of victory was not overly large. Poker is a tricky game to teach a machine. Computers are inherently deterministic and uncreative …
Beating the system...
This sounds a lot like that situation of the Chess Master playing Deep Blue (Or whatever the current iteration of Chess Machine is). The Master deliberately set up a situation where the Machine would predictably perform a certain move which was a set trap by the Master. It took human intervention on behalf of the Machine to overcome this obstacle.
I assume (not being an expert in such matters) that simply playing haphazardly and not sticking to a definable routine would fool all of these systems, for instance Folding on high value hands.
Maybe they should link it up with the National Criminal Database and look at the shifty photos of cons to compare facial expressions?
Good poker players don't gamble
Tell me, how is a human supposed to "read" the computer?
Anyone for a bit of maths?
"...playing Texas Hold'em against one person, where only two cards are unknown..."
From experience, I would say that when playing this game there are always 45 'unknown' cards regardless of how many people are sat around the table (assuming a 52 card deck).

Slick Pulla - Watching Me ft. Fabo
Artist: Slick Pulla
Featuring: Fabo
Producer: KC
Album: Trapublican
Avg Rating: 2.8 ( 24 total votes )
Being the protégé of a big name artist can be a gift and a curse. On one hand you have major support, but on the other you might never step out from beyond their shadow (ask Memphis Bleek). Trying his luck is Young Jeezy protégé (ergo CTE/USDA second-in-command) Slick Pulla with his new single, Watchin' Me. Slick's melodic rhyme-scheme sounds extremely similar to Jeezy's, which would usually mean a death sentence for the start of a solo career. However, Fabo's hook and production from KC give Watchin' Me a futuristic sound and a solid chance to succeed. To find out whether Slick Pulla is able to step out from beyond Jeezy's shadow, check out Trapublican when it hits stores in 2008.

News: Nicki Minaj Bigs Up Game's Hottest Verse, Names Rap's 2014 Ol' Dirty Bastard [Audio]
Sunday, Jun 22, 2014 8:39AM
Young Money's Nicki Minaj recently talked about the popularity of her "Chiraq" anthem, notably its endless remixes, and named the modern day version of late Wu-Tang Clan member Ol' Dirty Bastard. #TheHotness
In Nicki's opinion, her "Pills N Potions" on-screen collaborator Game destroyed "Chiraq."
"The Game bodied it. He kinda surprised me. That was one of the most lyrical Game verses I heard in years. I didn't really expect him to go that crazy on it. That was one that really stood out to me. He was mad. Somebody made him mad or something." (BBC Radio 1)
Minaj also spoke on rumored YMCMB signee Young Thug's rising popularity.
"Somebody described him the other day as a 2014 ODB, and I thought it was really interesting 'cause there's a style that he has almost like he doesn't care. He's in his own world, he talks with his own slang, he's just a very different type of dude. He dresses different, he looks different. [Cash Money co-founder Baby] took him under his wing. Baby loves Young Thug. So Young Thug is kinda like our family." (BBC Radio 1)
Nicki recently discussed her upcoming The Pink Print sharing a similar title to rap mogul Jay Z's 2001 classic, The Blueprint.
"I think everybody knows how obsessed I am with Jay Z. He's always been my favorite rapper -- him and [Lil] Wayne," Nicki said in an interview. "He did such a great job of creating this Blueprint brand for male rappers, I felt. And I studied a lot of his blueprint, just in terms of becoming a mogul. ... I wanted to be like Jay Z. I felt like with what I'm doing, I want female rappers to be able to pattern themselves with what I've done one day," she said. "And I think the album is soooo classic, it's gonna feel so good and it will probably be one that female rappers will look to as a 'pink print' for years to come." (Power 106)
A few weeks ago, Nicki said the LP would remind fans why they rode behind her since day one.
"It feels very uplifting and it feels very soulful," she shared. "It's a great, I feel, indicator of what The Pink Print will feel like in terms of the storyline of that song." The album, due sometime this year, marks a return to her roots. "The Pink Print will remind people why they fell in love with Nicki Minaj," she added. "And I think that needs to be done." (Rap-Up)
Check out Nicki Minaj's interview:


text: Choose Your Own Unique Style Fashion Jewelry Do you absolutely love jewelry? Most women do. In today's fallen economy, fashion jewelry allows you to make your own unique fashion statement without breaking your budget. No matter what your style, there pieces that are perfect for your special look. You can afford to dress up every outfit you own, from dressy to casual! Everyone has different tastes when it comes to accessories. While the younger crowd likes hip-hop, other women love classic or contemporary styles. Fashion jewelry, also known as costume jewelry, has been popular for decades, and will continue to be. You can accessorize all your favorite looks without going in debt or spending money you really don't have. The materials used to make these beautiful accessories vary widely. From necklaces and bracelets to earrings, toe rings, pins and watches, you can get the color and stones to compliment anything you are wearing. Fashion jewelry offers a, much wider variety of choices than gold and silver. What types of materials go into these unique creations? Materials vary by manufacturer, but costume jewelry is often primarily composed of metal alloys that may include a thin electroplate or overlay of precious metals such as gold, silver or rhodium. While some fashion jewelry contains synthetic stones like cubic zirconia, higher end pieces are often made with real, semi precious stones and higher levels of precious metals. Thicker electroplating and overlay provides a more durable and long lasting finish. Here is a little interesting information on the history of fashion jewelry. Back in the 1930s, costume jewelry was a disposable accessory that was only meant to be worn with one specific outfit. It was a kind of "throw away" jewelry, to be disposed of, and then repurchased when accessories were needed for a different outfit. Accessorizing has come a long way since that long ago era! Many people layer their clothes - what about jewelry? The hottest trend going currently is layered fashion jewelry. How do you achieve this look? Layer your necklaces and bracelets, 3 to 4 at a time. Of course, you don't want too look too hodge-podge, so you need to combine colors that match or compliment one another. When going for the layered look, you want to go for a common theme with your pieces. Choose similar textures and colors that work subtly together, or choose totally different styles of jewelry that are made of the same materials. Eclectic is a good look, just make sure that either the textures or colors don't clash. Choosing your own look is what makes you special and unique. By choosing fashion jewelry that reflects your own personal tastes, you will make a statement about who you are. Break out of the mold and dare to be different! Someone has to start a new trend, why not you? Save your money, look stunning and create a look that is uniquely yours with beautiful fashion jewelry that you can buy at prices that are well below retail!

Sister: Alleged Laconia killer just got out of hospital
Another picture of Riley emerges from his two Facebook pages. In one, the young man uses a confederate flag as his cover photo and says he studied at Redneck University. His posts include slurs against President Obama and gays. And one image shows him posing while holding a long gun.
He was arraigned at Laconia District Court on Tuesday via a video hookup at the Belknap County Jail. When asked by Judge James Carroll, Riley raised his right hand and swore to tell the truth. He otherwise stayed silent while Carroll discussed bail and lawyers argued about how soon his defense lawyer would receive details about the charges against him.
"It's a really sad situation," said his public defender, Jesse Friedman, after the hearing. He would not discuss the facts of the case, but said his condolences are to the March family.
She said Kasey Riley has struggled with mental illness his entire life and worked with agencies that treat mental illness.
"I went to visit him around 4:30 on Thursday and was concerned that my brother appeared disheveled," she wrote. Riley was released Friday, and his sister said she does not know the reasons for his release, but he seemed well over the weekend.
State health officials said confidentiality laws prevent them from discussing whether Riley was a patient at the state hospital.

I was always a sucker for Valentine's Day. The frilly boxes of chocolate, the cute cards, the flowers and the idea of having a forever Valentine lulled me into this Hallmark generated "holiday."
Then I got married.
The romantic Valentine's Day took on a whole new meaning. The first few years, I went out and bought a little something. I looked forward to getting roses and a card. I didn't expect a lot, although I liked getting a little extra something.
Then we had kids.
Last year, my husband gave me a card and flowers. I don't think we did anything special. The last 18 months have been fuzzy. If I remember, we had cold steak with a crying baby on each of our laps.
But Valentine's Day hasn't had the same impact on me as it did. It just seems like another day.
Lately, I've been getting those mushy feelings about Valentine's Day again. What has inspired those warm fuzzy feelings again was watching a couple have dinner at a local fast food restaurant recently.
It was about 4 p.m. and I was working at a booth when the couple, who looked to be in their 60s, walked past me and sat down in the booth directly in front of me. I didn't notice them at first, but they caught my eye after a few mintues.
They sat on the same side of the booth, right next to each other, their arms brushing each other as they ate. Then they shared their dessert.
Ahhhh, I thought. I wondered how long they'd been married. I wondered if they always sat next to each other in the booth. It was so sweet.
I think the sentiment and romance of Valentine's Day should be practiced everyday, like that couple I saw.
Don't get me wrong, I think it's romantic when my husband does dishes, but the fact is the days get so busy that your head sometimes feels like it's going to spin all the way around. There isn't time , it seems, to take a breath much less do think about romance.
So I'm glad there's a special day dedicated to love.
It's a good chance to just show your appreciation and love to your spouse or significant other, your kids, friends or those relatives whose help you couldn't live without.
You can express yourself with a hug, a single red rose or a mushy card. It doesn't have to be extravagant. The idea is to show your love to those you love. It's such a simple yet powerful sentiment.

Defense Acquisitions:
Antiarmor Weapons Master Plan Does Not Identify Potential Excesses or Support Planned Procurements
NSIAD-00-67: Published: May 8, 2000. Publicly Released: May 8, 2000.
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Department of Defense's (DOD) Antiarmor Master plan, focusing on whether it provided the data and analyses necessary to: (1) identify excess antiarmor weapons currently in the inventory or under development; and (2) support current acquisition plans.
GAO noted that: (1) DOD's Antiarmor Master Plan did not identify any excess antiarmor weapons or provide the data and analyses needed to identify such excesses; (2) instead of identifying the types and quantities of antiarmor weapons needed to meet requirements under current planning scenarios, the plan only described the types of antiarmor weapons in the inventory and under development and identified the number and types of armored systems possessed by nine countries it considered potentially hostile to the United States; (3) the total capabilities and quantities of the armored systems possessed by these countries substantially exceeds those in the current two-regional conflict threat scenario; (4) the plan acknowledged that the tank threat from the countries identified in that scenario is low, but the plan did not identify potential excesses in antiarmor weapons resulting from major reductions in the armor threat since 1990; (5) further, the modeling practices the services used to identify individual antiarmor weapons quantity requirements routinely generated excessive requirements; (6) specifically, GAO found that: (a) the Air Force added more targets to the model than it is responsible for; (b) the services added large quantities of weapons to their models to allow for uncertainties; (c) the services projected the use of sophisticated and expensive antiarmor guided weapons against unarmored targets; and (d) the Marine Corps and the Army did not always accept their model's results and used manual calculations to support higher antiarmor weapon requirements; (7) the plan provided little data and analyses to support the services' plans to spend about $17.9 billion on 15 antiarmor weapon acquisition programs; (8) in support of acquiring the new systems, the plan described various types of improvements and technological advances in the designs of armored systems and noted the potential proliferation of armored systems with these advanced designs; (9) the plan also described the capabilities of individual antiarmor weapons that were being acquired by the services and noted that the new weapons would provide improved lethality and effectiveness; (10) however, the plan also indicated that the existing antiarmor weapon inventory is more than adequate to defeat the threat as defined in the Secretary of Defense's planning guidance; and (11) further, the plan did not assess the effects of combined joint service capabilities and changes in war-fighting strategies on the requirements for these weapons.
Status Legend:
- Review Pending
- Open
- Closed - implemented
- Closed - not implemented
Matter for Congressional Consideration
Matter: Should Congress not receive the data and analyses directed by the conference report on the fiscal year (FY) 2000 Defense appropriation bill, Congress may wish to consider restricting FY 2001 funding for antiarmor weapons until such information is provided. Alternatively, Congress may wish to consider imposing an annual funding cap on the procurement of antiarmor weapons to permit some modernization but requiring DOD to establish priorities and choose among the multitude of antiarmor options now available or being developed.
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The staff of the Subcommittee on Defense, House Committee on Appropriations informed us that they are considering a variety of options, including funding restrictions, to convince DOD to establish more realistic priorities in its funding requests for antiarmor weapons.

Liles v. NebraskaAnnotate this Case
- Syllabus
- Case
U.S. Supreme Court
Liles v. Nebraska, 465 U.S. 1304 (1984)
Liles v. Nebraska
No. A-615
Decided February 13, 1984
An application for a stay, pending review by this Court, of a Nebraska District Court's contempt order committing applicants to jail is denied because of lack of jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 2101(f), where, after the application was filed with the Circuit Justice, the Nebraska Supreme Court dismissed each applicant's appeal from the contempt order to that court "for lack of an appealable order."
JUSTICE BLACKMUN, Circuit Justice.
On January 31, 1984, Ralph Liles and others presented to me, as Circuit Justice, an application for a stay, pending review here, of an order of the District Court of Cass County, Nebraska, issued on December 14, 1983. That order committed the applicants to the Cass County jail for their refusal to answer certain questions when ordered to do so by the District Court. The Fifth Amendment claim made by the applicants did not appear to be insubstantial. At the time that the applicants submitted their application for a stay, each had an appeal from the contempt order pending before the Nebraska Supreme Court.
On February 7, respondents filed an opposition to the application for stay. On February 9, the Supreme Court of Nebraska entered an order in each applicant's case dismissing his appeal to that court "for lack of an appealable order."
With these cases in that posture, I have no jurisdiction to act pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2101(f). I therefore must deny the relief requested of me by the applicants. This, of course, is without prejudice to any further application, if necessary, if and when the cases return in a more favorable posture.
Official Supreme Court case law is only found in the print version of the United States Reports.

I used to have quite the airsoft gun collection.Sold the lot when I knew my daughter was coming along! I am a massive fan of it
Recently, I have found myself a new hobby through some real life friends. It's called Airsoft. The basic idea is similar to paintball, but with much more emphasis on realism. Airsoft players use weapons that are generally repicas of real steel firearms that shoot small plastic ball bearings. Also there's a lot of attention to detail on the authenticity of the other kit/clothing. Its also a lot cheaper than paintball.
The game itself is played on various sites all over the country. I am I club member at a new site near Manchester. Most Sundays we play simple skirmishes and scenarios, depending on how many people show up.
Here's a few links to get you going:
Airsoft - Wikipedia link
Wolf Armouries Airsoft Shop - Have a look at the kit
Facebook - Airsoft Excalibre My Clubs Facebook site (check the photo albums!)
I dragged EduTech along to last Sundays game too.
I used to have quite the airsoft gun collection.Sold the lot when I knew my daughter was coming along! I am a massive fan of it
Yeah this is a fantastic game! all of you COD Junkies would probably love it
Geoff dragged me along and to be honest I am so glad he did, I never actually heard of it before but it's something I've wanted to get back into i.e. running round a field getting dirty and blah! I'm going to keep going, it gives me something to do on a Sunday and keeps me fit
Be nice to see some more edugeek's around!
I still have a soft-air gun from ages back, good fun
This place has not long opened up round the corner from our office. There was talk of having an evening there but not sure what ever happened about that. They have just moved into an old warehouse but I know quite a few people that go and say its a good time.
One thing I'm confused on (it doesnt take much!) is how this works- obviously in paintball it's pretty obvious when you've been shot, is it trust based that if you feel yourself get hit you walk and is it one shot kill?
If you get shot, you put your hands up and shout 'hit'. Otherwise the pain continues. :P Marshals are onhand if you think someone isn't taking their hits.
An empty school during the holidays would be an ideal setting for one of these games
Hahah lol yeah, nice idea
You can claim the aftermath is a new modern art take to the school decor
I've actually played Airsoft in an old school, and an old shopping centre, and an old block of flats with a few more doors knocked through...
CQB can get pretty hectic with more that it's fair share of injuries...
I imagine in paintball some of those bruises can be very nasty - whereas in airsoft I KNOW blood gets drawn...
So is anyone interested in meeting up with me and EduTech? £45 for the day.
where? and when?
