The streets of Brazil's major cities have been flooded with protesters by the tens and even hundreds of thousands for the past week as protests over an increase in the cost of public transportation ignited a national eruption of popular anger against political corruption, excessive taxation, and lavish government spending for the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Rio Olympics.
MMA's Brazilian stars have been vocal in their commentary on the protests. Sherdog's Marcelo Alonso has catalogued many of the responses and reported that "UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo joined dozens of his Nova Uniao teammates for a demonstration in downtown Rio de Janeiro."
Here are a few of the tweets as translated by Alonso:
Jose Aldo (via Twitter)
"Together we are stronger! 'Thou wilt see that a son of thine flees not from battle!' Everyone in the protest... Family, together we are brothers. I speak about the Nova Uniao!! United inside and outside the ring for a better Brazil!"
Wanderlei Silva (via Twitter)
"I would like to understand why so many public people are omitting themselves and even are quoting on their social networks to support the protests, to our awakening?
"It's our time to say: enough!! Ask for a stance from those who you follow on social networks and let's make every one of them show which side they are!!
"We must use what we have, give support to those who are fighting for better. If you don't go to the front line of the battle, at least encourages anyone who will."
Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza
"This violence that is happening is a shame for us, but I think that the movement cannot retreat. We have to move on!! Brazil needs political reform, changes in all systems!!"
It's very interesting to see MMA fighters take such vocal political positions, especially in support of a protest movement, but as can be assumed from the very size of the protest, the popular anger against the government of that country is immense.

I was impressed. Get to Nikko lots of people trying to find how the place works. They find me a hotel almost half the price but no food included.

Samurai's secrets
... looking from what i know!
Today confirmed what i knew about Japanese: they are not very fit and ready to walk! After getting the city map from the tourist information and telling the lady we wanted to walk everywhere, she looked horrified. I also noticed that Japanese don't walk up the escalator ever and generally speaking walk very slow.
Walking all around this town yesterday, about 10km walk in total, with various historical sights mainly about the young samurai's that committed mass suicide here at the time of the civil war (1868). Also quite impressive is the Tsuruga-jo castle, totally destroyed but rebuilt for us to visit.

My kids did mention that Mom seemed to have "a glow" and looked less tired and a bit more youthful. It could have been the new dark circle concealer, but I think it might be because the magic serum is making my face swollen and the swelling subsequently filled in the "fine lines".

Last fall, Scott Walker released a book titled Unintimidated. The memoir-cum-campaign manifesto chronicles how the Wisconsin governor stared down labor union leaders to reform collective bargaining laws and cut his state's bloated budget.
Unintimidated is an apt adjective to describe how Walker championed important economic reforms against the (sometimes literal) assaults of his political opponents.
While I have not made a decision about who I'll support for president in 2016, Governor Walker's courageous battle against Big Labor in Wisconsin was inspiring enough to secure him a spot on any short list of GOP contenders.
That's why it pains me so much to say that, on his current path, Walker is unlikely to make it to the White House. Not because of his bold defense of economic reforms, but, rather, because he has become so timid on values issues.
On abortion in particular it appears that Walker has been intimidated, or at least somewhat cowed, by those who insist that Republicans should keep quiet. These days, Walker's position seems to be, 'sure, I'm pro-life, but I'd rather not talk about it.'
In November, Walker told The Hill newspaper about Republicans: "For us politically, it doesn't make sense for us not to be focused on the fiscal and economic issues. The left wants us to get off of economic and fiscal issues. … The lesson after last November … was we have to focus on the things we care about and lead on those, and those are fiscal and economic issues."
Actually, the left wants to convince conservatives to stay silent on social issues, which would allow it to mischaracterize conservative positions and leave its own extreme positions unexamined and unchallenged.
At a December breakfast with The Christian Science Monitor, Walker said about abortion, "I don't focus on that; I don't obsess with it."
Such comments are surprising coming from someone with such a stellar pro-life record. As a student at Marquette University, he led the school's chapter of Students for Life. He was a reliable pro-life vote in his nine years in the Wisconsin State Assembly. And as governor he has signed several pieces of pro-life legislation, from a bill to stop abortion funding in Obamacare to legislation outlawing webcam abortions to a measure to defund Planned Parenthood.
But now Walker is downplaying that record. When The Hill brought up his pro-life credentials, Walker demurred, saying, "I signed hundreds of bills the last couple years. There's literally a handful that relate to that issue."
"I'm still pro-life," he added before dismissing how important the laws he signed were to voters. Defunding Planned Parenthood, he said, "gets some activists worked up, but taxpayers say 'What's the big deal there?'"
Last July, when Walker signed several pro-life bills, he did so without the fanfare that typically accompanies major bill signings. He signed the legislation behind closed doors the day after Independence Day, a Friday, when it was sure to get little media attention. His only announcement about the legislation was a generic tweet: "Spent the morning signing 18 bills into law."

I'm tapering for my half marathon this week. I kind of feel like some stallion locked in the stable being denied it's true calling: to run free.
Traditionally, taper weeks and recovery weeks are daunting for me. There's this little voice that whispers "lazy." It's hard when you spend years finding excuses not to exercise and then need to accept that now, in a healthy well-balanced training plan, you actually have reasons not to exercise.
You may be like me, and need to discover the hard way why recovery is important by encountering injuries . One missed workout might feel like a pound you could have lost, an unseized opportunity. But I challenge you to think of recovery as a lifestyle, a regular part of life, rather than a single day, once a week when you're not "allowed" to exercise.
And it may seem odd to discuss such a topic when so many of us have trouble just getting up to workout at all. But what I've seen in my own life and that of many others is a culture of extremes. We either workout with such abandon that we feel guilty at the sheer thought of a day off or we sit idly by and do absolutely nothing.
If you can wrap your mind around the importance of recovery, right from the beginning, it can help you avoid the all or nothing mentality that can easily lead to giving up.
Just think about your job. You could work 16 hours a day everyday without a weekend off or a vacation.
Would that be the most effective way to get the most out of you as an employee? Would you be enthusiastic about new projects or even just heading to work in the morning knowing that endless hours and days lay before you?
Time away, recovery time, serves to recharge the batteries, recover enthusiasm and actually makes the time you do spend working more efficient and productive.
Our bodies work the same way.
Exercise, by nature, is the act of breaking down your body.
You do not get more fit during the hours you lift, or run or walk. You get more fit in the time after those activities, when your body is regenerating, improving it's systems to handle what you did – for the next time.
Recovery doesn't happen on Sundays when you twiddle your thumbs wishing you could slide in another quick workout. It happens all week and these are the vital components:
If you want to do any further reading on recovery I am a big fan of the CORE Performance books that take a really unique stance on this and injury prevention.
How do you work recovery into your everyday routine?

This is act 2 of 3 of my 8-Bit Dr. Horrible project.
All music, sound effects, graphics and animation for "Dr. Horrible's Sing-along Game" were created by me as a tribute to Dr. Horrible (by Joss Whedon) and the NES. You can download the full 8-bit soundtrack from my website (follow the link in my profile and click on the Dr. Horrible banner at the top of the blog posts).
Programs used in the creation of this animation:
Graphics: Adobe Photoshop
Animation: Adobe Flash
Sequencing: FL Studio
Instruments: NES+MidiNES
Mastering: Adobe Soundbooth
Sound Effects: SFXR
Note: This is not an actual game as of now but there are interested parties that I may be working with to create one eventually. Also, I realize there are spelling and continuity errors so please don't bother commenting on those - while not all intentional, I chose to leave them in since a lot classic Nintendo games had similar issues and I thought it added extra authenticity to the project.
That was amazing
I can't wait for part 3. You've got some serious talent.
And if this was hypothetically released on Steam, I'd buy it in a second.
oh by the way
The hammer is my penis.
I can't wait to actually get to play this someday! I love how Captain Hammer looks like the actor who plays Nick Castle, same guy from Serenity or Firefly. Outstanding work!
Nathan Fillion, on all accounts...not sure if you're joking, but yeah, he's the same guy in all roles.
"The-J" is right you should make it a game
you could totally make this a game
You already have most of the art assets you would need, AND the popularity to set up a donation drive, you could easily just hire a decent programmer and get this done!

University of Buffalo Professor Encourages Planners to Create Communities That Facilitate Healthy Food Systems and Healthy Eating
Developing an addendum to the policy document guiding the City of Buffalo, N.Y.'s decisions relative to land use and the built environment
The problem. Samina Raja, Ph.D., wants planners—professionals who work with elected and appointed officials to create more convenient, equitable, healthy, efficient and attractive communities—to understand how they can help communities provide better access to healthy foods.
Planners already help shape the food system and affect whether people eat well. They just don't know it, says Raja, who earned her B.Sc. in civil engineering from Jamia Millia University and her master's degree in planning from the School of Architecture and Planning, both in India. Her Ph.D. in urban and regional planning is from the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
"Planners may be able to play an active role, and meet some of the traditional planning goals, like environmental sustainability and economic development, by helping to make the food environment better," said the associate professor of urban and regional planning and health behavior at the University of Buffalo.
The grantee. As a partner in the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's (RWJF's) Active Living by Design and Healthy Eating by Design projects in Buffalo, Raja had the opportunity to write Transforming Food Environments, Building Healthy Communities. The book is designed to get planners thinking about how they can improve the food environment of the communities they work in.
Buffalo is one of 25 community partnerships in Active Living by Design. Twelve of these partnerships, including Buffalo, also participated in Healthy Eating by Design. During that pilot program, they implemented strategies to provide affordable, healthy and appealing food options to children and families by changing local food and nutrition policies and environments. See Program Results on the program for more information.
Facilitating community access to healthy food. Raja wrote Transforming Food Environments, Building Healthy Communities with colleagues Branden Born and Jessica Kozlowski Russell under an RWJF grant to disseminate lessons learned from Healthy Eating by Design to a broader audience.
Published in 2008 by the American Planning Association, the book includes case studies of Buffalo and five other sites. Two of those sites—Louisville, Ky., and Portland, Ore.—also participated in Healthy Eating by Design. The other case studies feature Madison, Wis., Marin County, Calif., and Philadelphia.
The book also includes results from a nationwide survey designed to reveal what planners think about their involvement in access to healthy food and healthy eating, their actual involvement and the barriers to promoting that access. To encourage members to participate in the survey, the American Planning Association posted a link to it on its Web site, and announced the survey through its electronic newsletter.
"A simple way that planners can affect their food system is by including food as an element in their comprehensive plan," Raja said. "Food has not been an element in these plans, which outline what a community will look like in 10 or 15 years: they typically cover transportation, economic development and housing." For example, is there adequate transportation to a grocery store where people can buy healthy food? And does the plan recognize community gardens as one type of park?
The book concludes by saying that planners have an important role in "facilitating the planning and design of communities where healthy food systems and healthy eating become possible."
Combining healthy eating and active living work. As a co-founder of Healthy Eating Buffalo, Raja helped draft the proposal to RWJF, brought the right partners to the table, served as an advisor to the project and also evaluated it. She then got involved with the Healthy Communities Initiative—Buffalo's Active Living by Design initiative—and became its evaluator.
"It was like a dream come true for me because I do both active living and healthy eating research," she said.
As of September 2009, Raja was working on another book, Planning for Healthy and Just Food Environments in Urban America (under contract with MIT Press). This book, which will also feature case studies, is more critical of planning's role in shaping the food environment.
"It will highlight the struggles more, so planners can emphasize the impact of their work on people's access to food," she said. The intended audience is graduate students who are interested in food systems.
Raja's active living research includes a National Institutes of Health grant to study how well an effort to increase physical activity in youth works among children living in areas with high access and in areas with low access to parks. As a co-investigator, she is working with colleagues at the university's School of Medicine on that three-year grant, which began in 2007. Raja also studied the influence of parks on the physical activity of youth with colleagues at the medical school under an RWJF grant that ended in 2008.
Raja also has a major role in Buffalo's Healthy Kids, Healthy Communities partnership. RWJF's Healthy Kids, Healthy Communities is a national program to implement healthy eating and active living initiatives through policy and environmental change strategies. The program focuses on children who are at highest risk for obesity based on race and ethnicity, income and geographic location.
RWJF perspective. RWJF looked at the growing evidence that individual behavior change efforts are most successful when they take place in a larger community and social context. As a result, the Active Living by Design program examined ways to combine individually oriented behavior change approaches with community-based strategies to create environments that are more conducive to physical activity.
Active Living by Design has harnessed community design and livable community initiatives as a vehicle and force for making communities more activity-friendly. It has created community-led change by working with local and national partners to build a culture of active living and healthy eating.
"The Active Living by Design communities faced the challenges of changing the built environment, re-thinking the design and land use policies that shape the environment, and, in some instances, re-inventing the practices of an entire community. They demonstrate how creativity, determination, vision and a willingness to see into the future can help make change happen," said Jamie Bussel, RWJF program officer.

Arizona residents, I need advice!
Hey everyone,
My wife and I will be vacationing in Scottsdale in September. The reason for the trip is two-fold. One is to relax and to take in the beauty of the surrounding area. The other is to explore other cities and look for homes as we are considering moving to the Phoenix area for an internship I have for school.
I know this isn't www.city-data.com but I thought I would try my luck here since the DIS boards haven't let me down yet. Where should we look?
A little about ourselves and what we are looking for. We are both in our late twenties and are looking to start a family soon. We don't care about a vibrant nightlife or anything that you might think a normal twenty-something would want. We just want a safe community where we could buy a 2000 or so sq. ft. home with a swimming pool for around 250k to 300k. I will be working as a school psychologist and she is a dental hygienist so we aren't super confined on jobs. I am planning on looking at Gilbert and Chandler, but that is as far as I have gotten for now. Not even sure if I am on the right track.
Any advice you AZ residents, or former residents, have would be welcome. Thanks!!!

We have lived in the Mesa/Gilbert area for 12 years now and (other than this time of year's heat) really like AZ. I was just reading an article in the AZ Republic recently about how the falling home prices have helped more people buy in more established areas on the Valley like Gilbert or Chandler rather than having to go out to the very edges.
I have my kids in Gilbert public schools and my sister has hers in Chandler schools and we are both very happy with them. There are also lots of charter schools. And it seems like there is a dentist on every corner around here!
I think one of the nicest things about the area is that you can be out of town within half an hour to open desert for recreation, or less than two hours up to the mountains for cooler weather, snow, etc. And it's only about 6 hours from Southern California (and DLR of course).

I'm about to run out the door right now, and will be back later to provide more info, but, I have lived in Chandler for 10 years now and I love it. I'm happy with the schools, the shopping, the city parks, etc.
This is a good time to buy right now. We had a huge housing boom, and then the bubble burst. It should have, the houses here were way overpriced. Now, I'm seeing very nice houses going for much less than $100 per square foot. I just saw something from a local realtor, I think the average was around $80 - 85 per sq foot. Really affordable right now.
I'll get some links to you later that might be of interest. I hope you get some other input, but for me, I can really recommend Chandler.
No one else has posted, so I'll just edit to add:
I found an MLS listing for Chandler - not recommending the realtor per se, just to give to an example of what you get for the money.
Here's another realtor.
Here is a link to the city website with a story about Chandler being picked as an All-American City.
Chandler has grown a lot in the last 10-15 years. Many of the residents are transplants from other areas of the country, so you should find it welcoming to new residents. It's a young population, not me, of course, but the average age is around 35, so you should find many people in the same stage of life as yourself.
If you have any specific questions about Chandler, or Scottsdale for your vacation, I can try to answer or ask around for you.

I have lived in AZ since I was about 3 months old. I was raised in Tempe as my dad was a professor at ASU for 37 years. I have lived in Chandler for about 20 years now. I am partial to the East Valley. Chandler and Gilbert seem to be the places that are still growing and offer a great family environment with parks, schools, etc. Good luck!

One more question...how long does it take to truly acclimate to the summer heat? Or does everyone just hide out in air conditioned homes? I'm from the Seattle area so we hide out pretty much all winter. Who likes 35 degree weather with rain? Terrible stuff. Anyway, I don't mind hanging out indoors for the better part of three months, and having a pool to sit by sounds nice. I know it gets excruciatingly hot down there so what do most people do to cope?

Hey, I've been here all my life and I still hide out in the A/C in the summer. Seriously, if you like the outdoors, you get used to it. As mentioned, the great thing about the valley is you can drive a couple of hours out of town and get into cooler areas like Flagstaff, Show Low or Mt. Lemmon outside of Tucson. You have to remember too that except for during Monsoon, it is a dry heat!

I lived in Indiana and Wisconsin before moving to AZ. And for three months during winter, we're stuck inside. So we're stuck inside for three months during summer, same thing. But it's so much better here.
When it's 10 degrees and the roads are snowy and icy, I still had to go to work. When it's 110 degrees, it's uncomfortable, but at least my car won't slide off the road. And when a big blizzard was coming, we would all run to the grocery store and stock up on milk and bread and be stuck in the house until the snow plow came to dig us out. Today, it's 110, but we're not stuck inside. The malls and restaurants are air conditioned. The movies are a great place to be. This morning, my daughter had ice skating lessons, and I was very comfortable at the ice rink.
Here is a link to the Arizona Republic's website so you can get a sense of the Phoenix metro area.
Here's a link to the Things to Do section. It might of help when planning your Sept. trip, plus give you an idea of how we spend our summers.

It took me a couple summer to adjust to the heat, but I was usually more worried about my small kids in the heat. Everywhere is air-conditioned (sometimes overly so) and there are waterparks, pools, splash pads, etc. galore.
People avoid doing much outside during the heat of the day unless it's in the water, but the mornings and the evenings are fairly pleasant once you get over the shock of going out to pick up the newspaper and it's already warmer outside!
If the heat is the only thing you are worried about, don't fret. It all sounds insane until you're having Christmas dinner outside on the patio bragging to the snowed-in relatives. Unless you have medical issues that are a problem in the heat, I'd say go for it!

Its not a bad area I just don't like it here much at all. I've lived in the east valley the majority of the last 17 years or so. The times I haven't lived here I had brief residency in Florida. My biggest problems with the area is the dust and allergies I face here. To me coming back to the valley from clean fresh air I can tell the difference and I definitely notice the dust I'm inhaling. Overall its a decent place to live. House prices are pretty great right now and we do have lots of decent free charter schools in most the cities. My dd goes to a charter after a bad experience with the Mesa public schools. Tempe and Chandler were better schools when I was attending school those many many years ago. I went to Tempe high school and it was much better than the Mesa school in my zone.
It is nice to not worry about warming cars up in the winter(may have 1-2 freeze nights you may need to scrap a thin layer of ice off window unless you want to wait for your defroster, I've found a credit card works well ) and everything is in close reach. And some very cool day trip options and even weekenders(to California, Vegas etc). But I prefer Florida to here even humid. After only one summer in Florida last year I was dying this year with the oven dry heat. And its still going strong sticking in the 100s this month too. UGH. We have had two cooler mornings but its raising back up for the weekend.

You will love Scottsdale, and Arizona! I'm a came from Southern California in the early 80s for work, and never went back. We used to live on South Mountain, now we live in Avondale (bit closer to Disneyland and CA!). For me, the only time I found it hot was in 1990, or 1991 when the official weather was 122 and the airplanes were grounded because of it! Swimming in the pool that day didn't cool us off even with the aerator! I guess I have acclimated well, or the Good Lord is preparing me for somewhere else when I die! LOL
The Valley has some great spots, and not so great spots, just like the rest of the country. The West Valley includes Peoria, Glendale, Surprise, Avondale, Goodyear, Tolleson, Buckeye, just to name a few. If you are a sports fan,you will love it! We have the major sports teams, plenty of golf, shopping, and zoos! There is so much! The biggest thing for me was all the cacti! I was used to regular trees.
Have a wonderful visit to AZ!

Don't discount the NE Valley. Especially if you want to grow roots for your family! The Paradise Valley area is worth taking a look at. I say this as a lifetime resident of the west side of town. I personally like the Arrowhead area, but again, I'm partial because I'm a native and it's what I know best
I have many friends in their late 20s who live in and LOVE the gilbert area. There are a bunch of new homes in your price range and they are absolutely stunning with granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, open floor plans, nice fixtures, giant tile floors. The area is definitely growing with lots of people that are starting families and many of the retail stores, restaurants, and entertainment venues cater to that lifestyle. I think you'll enjoy it very much as the heat continues to cool down.

I have lived in the Mesa/Gilbert area since 1995, and I am an office manager for a dental office. This is a fantastic area to raise kids. My daughter just graduated from the Gilbert School system, and I was completely satisfied with her educators and her group of friends. This is a great time to buy a home, too. Home prices are SOOOO much lower than they were a few years ago, and you will be able to purchase a lot for your money!
For your wife, though, heads up... it is a tough job market for the dental field right now, and hygienists are having a really hard time finding anything more than part time. It seems to be that way for the whole dental field. People would rather pay their house payment than have a deep cleaning or agree to a crown, so offices are suffering. It's probably that way nationwide, but I can just give you a view of this area.
Good luck with your move. Hope you find all that you are looking for!

If the provision is accepted by the House and the bill signed by the President, all aviation fuel will be taxed at the same rate as highway diesel fuel–24.4 cents per gallon. The purchaser would then have to submit a claim to the Internal Revenue Service to receive the difference between the 24.4 cents paid and the 21.8 cents per gallon actually owed.

The site allows users to search for information by five means: country name, country abbreviation, city name, airport name or airport code. Selecting from that menu automatically produces a page listing the airport name, code, city, country, runway length and elevation, latitude/longitude and GMT differential. The site currently has almost 10,000 airports in its database.
In an attempt to limit their insurable losses and reduce premiums, some FBOs continue to ask transient pilots to sign hold-harmless forms. Some go so far as to inform the pilot that they cannot perform the service unless pilots sign the form or that they must charge a higher price for services. Pilots and aircraft owners have protested the practice.
Arinc Direct Flight Support Services is a suite of Web-enabled capabilities, including flight planning, flight following, weather briefs, aircraft messaging and a 24/7 flight coordinator staff for customer assistance. "Using our assessment tools, Arinc is able to pinpoint and home in on issues pertinent to its specific service challenges," said Service Elements president Bob Hobbi.
The object of the regulation is to set minimum insurance requirements for air carriers and aircraft operators regarding coverage for passengers, baggage, cargo and third parties. The rule applies to all operators flying into, out of, within or over the territory of a member state. The new insurance levels are tied directly to the mtow of the aircraft and a special drawing right (SDR).

Skyservice and Imperial Oil Aviation have expanded their relationship at the Calgary International Airport, with Skyservice now designated an Esso Avitat dealer on the field.

Ocean Air Aviation, in North Bend, Ore., began operations last month at its newly built 4,000-sq-ft executive terminal.
The U.S. Customs and Border Patrol has agreed to extend the hours of customs operations at Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) Executive Airport (FXE) from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. The trial period started June 27 and will be in effect for 120 days, at which time Customs will assess whether or not the extra hours of service should be permanent and whether additional staffing and more coverage will be needed.
Daytona Beach International Airport, Fla. FBO Lynch Corporate Services plans to build a business aviation "gated community" called World Jet Village, first at Daytona Beach and then at other locations. The project at Daytona is expected to include 94 medium to large hangars, 180 residences located within three high-rise towers and a conference center. The company said Tulsa, Okla.-based Navigance Technologies will provide the security.

Friday 10/9/09: at 40 wks 6 days, I was still 1 cm, and they did sweep the membranes. i started cramping right then, and odd pain low down around my cervix started an hour later at 5PM. the pain was coming in waves but i didn't identify them as contrax....
I spent ALL DAY Sat. on the yoga ball leaning over the couch having DH do hip presses during contrax. they were still 7-15 min. apart. i could not walk/talk through them.
Was this back labor?....
they inserted a uterine monitor and my contrax were weak - barely 200.
we started pitocin at 11AM and baby's HR was decelerating to 70-80 bpm during contrax....
ps-They also said the cord was wrapped around her shoulder, under her arm and over her head. maybe that made it too short for her to descend?
Friendlee: weird. did you have a c-section too? it must be a weird positioning thing with the baby. It really didn't feel right to me either, not that I expected it to feel "right", it just felt really wrong, and not just b/c it was excruciating. like - the wrong kind of pain...
I don't really feel it was back labor either as I didn't have back pain, although hip presses and pressure on my sacrum were required to manage the contrax. I felt it more on the inside of the top side of my left hip socket. I did have a car accident 13 years ago and the right side of my sacrum twists down and forward since then. maybe it's structural with me? or the chiro I went to to get my breech to turn messed me up. I had pain ever since she adjusted me...
Also, I'm 39 and this was my first (only?) baby. I wonder if that has anything to do with it.
mama to callum (april 8,07) and everett (sept 24,09) - blessed to be married to my life's love since '98.

Residents' fury as homes fill with raw sewage
Families in Kent are furious at Southern Water that sewage flooded into their homes from a burst drain. The householders in Margate had only moved in to the new properties three weeks ago.
In a statement today Southern Water said: "We sincerely apologise for the disruption and distress caused by this unexpected incident. Initial investigations indicate that the incident was the result of a blockage caused by a build up of debris such as wet wipes, nappies and fat deposits.
Our team are on site dealing with the situation and liaising directly with the family affected and a comprehensive clean-up is being completed".

"Roman Candle" turns 20: Secrets of Elliott Smith's accidental masterpiece (slideshow)
Elliott and the friends with whom he recorded in middle school in Texas (photo courtesy of Dan Pickering)
Topics: Fiction, Books, Entertainment News
The ominous late-night phone call may be one of the oldest tricks in the mystery writer's bag, but that's because it works. Who can resist an attention-grabber like this one, the opener to John Searles' second novel, "Strange But True": "Almost five years after Ronnie Chase's death, the phone rings late one windy February evening."
Ooh. Death. Dreary weather. Remorse. Suspense. Just what we need during the last, hottest days of summer. Fortunately, "Strange But True" delivers on the promise of this tried and true trope, and from the moment Philip Chase (Ronnie's brother) picks up the phone, I felt powerless to put this book down.
We quickly learn that Ronnie Chase was a popular high school quarterback who was killed in a limo accident on the night of his senior prom. Ronnie's family — his stubborn mom, Charlene, his supportive doctor dad and a lost-yet-searching older brother — promptly yet completely unraveled at the news of their golden boy's untimely death. Yet none were as devastated as sweet Melissa Moody, Ronnie's girlfriend, who was riding in the limo with him when it crashed. Melissa survived, but barely, and her face, body and spirit were left permanently scarred.
After a five-year absence during which the remaining Chases scatter up and down the East Coast, Melissa rings the family home with a shocking announcement. She's pregnant, and she insists that Ronnie is the father.
Philip, who has just moved home after a failed attempt at a writer's life in New York, is more open to the news (or at least more open to his brother's pitiful girlfriend) than is his mother. In the years since her son's death, Charlene has become a bitter witch who spends her lonely days listing all the people she hates. She violently berates the fragile young girl for dropping such a preposterous bombshell on her and her oldest son, and orders Melissa to stay out of their lives.
Even though Melissa tries to lie low, her relationship with Ronnie has linked her fate, and the fate of her unborn child, to all the members of Chase family. None of them know it at the time, but Melissa's inexplicable pregnancy is the juicy center of a tasty plot involving sex, drugs and murder. (I told you this was a perfect summer book.)
Searles, a book editor for Cosmopolitan magazine, has said that the idea for "Strange But True" came to him while he was riding home on the New York subway, and that he wrote the story by hand in three weeks. It's not hard to imagine Searles hurtling beneath Manhattan, watching the chapters flash before him like scenes from a movie. That's exactly how it feels to read "Strange But True." This is one of those rare books that even a die-hard bibliophile would beg to see made into a movie — not because we want to see the story "come alive" visually, but because it already seems to exist in the cinematic world.
The characters are vividly alive; each chapter opens with a character-focused shot that sets the mood ("Philip is parked outside the Olive Garden Restaurant, looking over his midterm poetry portfolio and killing time before his shift") and a closing that fades into black ("Philip feels as though he could drive on forever. And still the memory of those words would not be far enough behind"). Searles writes with such clear, efficient prose that barely an adverb would be lost on-screen.
Like most magazine editors, Searles has complete control of his story. "Strange But True" is like a carefully ordered set of snapshots, depicting what the characters' lives were like before the watershed moment of Ronnie's death, and what has become of them since that awful night. There's a lot going on: We're asked to follow about five different subplots (Philip's lonely years in New York, for example, could have been published as a separate short story), all of which are constantly being put on pause just as the action gets good. We're also asked to keep track of each individual character's emotional whereabouts. But we have complete confidence that Searles is going to pull it together for us at the end. And he does — in that delicious "aha!" moment, all our questions are answered so thoroughly, and all the details fall in place so nicely, that we don't mind that the thrilling climax of the story is just a little far-fetched.
"Strange But True" is difficult to classify: It's a thriller, a mystery, a family drama, a collection of character sketches and even a coming-of-age story. But with Searles' knack for knowing exactly when our mind is drifting (perhaps toward when to reapply sunscreen or refresh our lemonade), it's certainly not difficult to finish.
Our next pick: The Egyptologist who dreams of glory and the cynical detective, years later, who yearns to expose him as a fraud

"We used these cards to inform our guests that the wicker baskets containing the Bloody Mary mix and ibuprofen were for their recovery the next morning :) They could not have turned out more perfect! Great product!"
"I put these on our party favors. They were perfect and pretty. WPD was able to do them in eggplant to match the rest of our wedding items."
"These will make perfect reception favor tags for our Fall wedding. The background color is more off-white than it appears online, which I was very happy about. We kept the colors as they are online, and they look great! This is yet another purchase from Wedding Paper Divas that my fiance and I love. Great quality for a great price."
"These tags worked excellently for a party favor tag and seating place card in one. We printed names on the cards using an inkjet printer and this worked fine as long as you allow it to dry and do not handle it with wet or even balmy hands. It added a modern and natural flare and looked great!"

what i can gank lv3 with this> Q-W-Q?
Take 9 points into offense to amplify your basic attacks and Q damage. 21 points in to the defensive tree make Trundle pretty tanky and provide him with some nice teamfight benefits such as Tenacity, increased healing and reduced damage. The early defensive stats also allow you to be quite aggressive with the enemy jungler.
Flash is usually a better option for Trundle because he lacks a gap closing ability. It can be used in a multitude of ways to chase or escape enemies and it can be combined with your pillar for awesome jukes such as blocking enemies and flashing through it. It will also let you pass through the enemy front line to reach the enemy carries.
You need smite to clear the jungler faster and secure objectives.
Ghost may be used situationally to replace Flash, but that would be in 1% of the games or so. It does allow you to snowball early but you never know what's coming, so Flash is a better option.
what i can gank lv3 with this> Q-W-Q?
shyv doesn't counter him at all, you're overlooking the fact that trundles ult steals armor and magic resist making him very good vs shyv in fights , also his Q does not steal attack damage from anyone it simply reduces it and gives him a steroid to his own attack dmg.
My jungle build is Feral Flare -> swift boots -> Bork -> Spirit visage = Randuins -> Banshees Viel
also vs invading type jungles, aka your udyrs and khazixs i start red then run to my blue, in most cases it throws them off pretty badly
"Getting a smiteless Blue.... is currently the strongest early route."
Who was this guide written by? A bronze player who doesn't even jungle? Someone who doesn't realise smite has a 36 second cooldown? And 21 in defense is pretty shit on trundle. Also lacking BORK which is the only offensive item trundle needs
Hi Foxdrop,
First of all, thanks a lot for your hard work in helping fellow league players improve their game :) Following you for some time now.
In regards to this Trundle build, I actually go for Phage right now before aegis, sometimes even before ancient golem, the move & attack speed really helps him stick on the target, together with the mnor Q slow. I feel it is an important early game item for trundle's ganks.
What do you think about it?
Forac :)
Hey Forac!
I think Phage is a great decent item for Trundle as it gives him decent stats and makes up for his lack of CC a little bit. I could see it working as a 2nd item, but I'm not sure about getting it before Golem. You could do it if you were farming well enough - the important thing is to make sure you have that Golem for when mid game skirmishes / team fights start.
Early on Madreds will help you clear faster with the 60 extra damage on-hit, but Ancient Golem still gives you 30% increased damage to monsters. That means that the stronger your attacks are, the more the Ancient Golem benefits you - when your Q is doing 250~ damage (even more if you have a Sheen effect) then Ancient Golem's clear speed is comparable if not better than Madreds.
Still, what you say is not wrong. I feel as though it's worth sacrificing a bit of clear speed in order to grab Ancient Golem as the CDR, Tenacity, and Health are all really good for Trundle.
haha its no big deal or anything but reading over his abilities it still says "pillar of filth" in the description. second paragraph under pillar of ice "Pillar of Filth can be a great way to save teammates as well, as long as you don't close them into the enemy!"
Trundle is great because of how versatile he is in his build paths. I like to go Ancient Golem, Tabi, Randuin's, BotrK, SV and something situational to top it off. This gives Trundle massive raw power and survivability. The enemy can't ignore him or he'll debuff the carry, shred the tank and wreck everyone. But when focused, he'll probably withstand the beating, while still debuffing with Randuin's Omen. But I think any single one of those items can be replaced if need be, as long as you're tanky.
Also I think the changes to Trundle were a great improvement. Despite being (mostly) aesthetic and usability tweaks. He feel stronger and much more menacing. He communicates the brutal force way better and he doesn't seem to sabotage himself with his own skills anymore. I only wish they gave him the Dragon/Baron interaction on the ult back. I don't think it'd make him OP and in the current state, he probably has the worst objective control of all the viable junglers.
Ravenous Hydra for jungle Trundle, BOTRK for top lane. Cleaver is wasted on him. Both compliment his kit in a myriad of ways, although I prefer Hydra on him to BOTRK but it depends on the rest of your build and playstyle.
Why skill as 2. skill e ? Why not w ? I think if u skill that just for ganks w will be better, or not ?

KARACHI: For all those who have lost their precious lives and loved ones in violence that Karachi has long been engulfed in, Tehrik-e-Niswaan organised a theatrical and dance performance under the name, 'Celebrate Karachi' on Sunday.
Aptly titled as 'Kirchi Kirchi Karachi' (shattered Karachi), the Drama mustered quite a number of people who didn't seem to mind the cold weather as Sheema Kermani along with her students started her performance in the amphitheatre of Arts Council.
The Drama scripted and directed by Anwar Jafri, a veteran activist of the Tehrik, shed lights on how peaceful and enjoyable this city Karachi used to be. People from all walks of life lived freely here and shared happiness and sorrow alike.
The festivals were always celebrated with passion. "Eid, Naurooz, Holi, Muharram, Milaad, Deewali, how many festivals were there to find joys and meanings in," said the characters of the theatre. "We would just need an excuse, a chance, a day to celebrate and enjoy life through those events." But things changed, said another character, ruefully.
To let the viewers know about the root cause of the growing intolerance that feed violence in our society, the script was meticulously written awash with satire and sarcasm towards the extremist elements of the society.
Between the lines, the dialogues of the actors trod upon the dangerous issues, criticising Hudood Ordinance, Blasphemy Law, Declaring Ahmedis as 'infidels' and other steps State took in the past decades to impose a certain version or school of thought that waged a war against cultural diversity of this beautiful land.
The drama took another turn by highlighting the tireless efforts of Parveen Rahman, the slain Director Orangi Pilot Project, by depicting her inspiring story of helping the poor inhabitants of Orangi get rid of land grabbers and mafia. Although the situation is deplorable, the script goes, there are still people striving and struggling unabatedly for a better Karachi one of whom was Parveen, a pupil of Dr Akhtar Hameed Khan who faced discrimination too when he was charged with blasphemy cases several times.
"Pity the leaders of this country, for one of them put prohibition on alcohol despite being a drinker, and another tried feverishly to implement Islam here forgetting he had nothing to do with religion," said a character in the drama, recounting the days when the very first initiatives of turning the society upside down were taken. "The holy Friday was now an off day instead of Sunday so that everybody could attend the 'Jumma Prayers'."
What received much applause was the mentioning of Saudi Arab, as a character maintains 'what a spectacular Islamic society the country is, where there is no crime, bribery, theft', to which another character retorts, "What about Kings who have always ruled there, and it's the only country, which is named after a 'family'!"
In order to promote religious harmony, tolerance between different ethnicities and cultural diversity, two awe-inspiring dance performances were presented. First came the Sindhi Jhomar by Tehrik activists. Lastly, 'Hindu Sewa Group' gave the performance of 'Krishna Dance' that left the audience dumbfounded as they applauded their show.
Afterwards, Sheema Kermani called upon Arif Hasan; a renowned architect and a colleague of Parveen Rahman, Arts Council Karachi President M Ahmad Shah and veteran activist and health worker Dr Sher Shah.
Speaking to the audience, Arts Council president said, "There has been a surge in theatrical activities lately, but unfortunately they are way too commercialised unlike Tehrik-e-Niswaan that works on social issues and remains open for the masses. We will organise the Tehrik-e-Niswaan Festival in May 2014 to highlight the massive work the movement has produced so far."
As the event came to an end, the air was filled with voices of different languages, varying dialects of people as they chatted joyfully, wearing colourful regional clothes, proving that the event did succeed in uniting people hailing from various ethnical backgrounds who can live in their city, Karachi peacefully.

New Orleans Saints TE Jimmy Graham (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday Night Football against the Denver Broncos. Graham was limited in practice all week and will be a game time decision. He sat out in Week 7 with the injury.
Graham has 25 catches for 252 yards and three TDs on the season.
Fantasy Impact: Ugh. Game time decisions on Sunday Night are about the most agonizing thing for fantasy owners, especially with an elite talent at a scarce position. The good news is that it's an upgrade from last week, where he was ruled out on Saturday, but it's still no less annoying.
It's hard to say with a guy like Graham, but you may want to consider benching him anyway rather than risk an empty roster spot. It really depends on what time your league locks in rosters on game day, but whatever you do is up to you.

FUTURE NATURE "COSTA RICA MIGRATION" Part 2 of 3
A Skateboarding video by element - 1,141 views
While following Amateurus for Future Nature, we ended up in the jewel of the equator, Costa Rica. We trailed the pod from the sunken seas to the highest mountain tops, surrounded by a volcanic skyline.
Migrations is a three-part series of behind-the-scenes footage from Future Nature, The Element Am Video. Shot on location in Mallorca, Costa Rica, and the Basque Country in Spain, this raw footage offers an in-depth look at Amateurus, the amateur skateboarder. Migrations stars Boo Johnson, Evan Smith, Julian Davidson, Madars Apse, and Nick Garcia.

Small, but nice little HBS! The people are very friendly, and helpful. They have a surprising amount of stuff crammed into such a small store. Including all -grain brewing supplies (and a mill), kits, kegging supplies, glass and better bottle carboys, wine making stuff. And, of course, what home brew shop doesn't have disc golf frisbees?!?!?
Prices are reasonable considering the size, and that they're the only game in town... If you live closer to Holland than GR, it's well with your time to at least take a look at what they offer!
