Ed's note the final stretch! Just stop and think about it for a moment. After 12 years of hard slog your school days are nearly over and then it's out into the big wide world to find your fame and hopefully your fortune! It's definitely worthwhile to take a moment to think about all the people you've met since you walked into a classroom for the first time at the age of 5 or 6. The friends, teachers, enemies, experiences, outings, tests, parties, girls, boys, etc have all in some way shaped who you are to day and have hopefully prepared you to achieve success as the next chapter of your life starts. There are countless opportunities available today and it's just a matter of finding what suites your personality and character type and away you go! The really amazing thing though is that most of you will be working in jobs that don't even exist today. Just think back to when you first started high school - did Twitter and Facebook even exist then, but how integral have they become in our lives today - how exciting would it be to work at one of these companies? But before this happens there is a small mountain to climb (the final exams - yuk). Although they'll probably not seem quite so small to you, Mount Everest size is probably more appropriate, but the important thing is that you'll be able to conquer them. One thing that did not help much was the teachers strike and the effects of that will only be seen once the exam results are out. It's not normally like us to get stuck into preparing you for the exams (because that's what school is for), but this year is an exceptional case, so why not turn to page 26 and see what we've got to say about keeping your head during this hectic and stressful period. Otherwise what else can you expect from this issue. If you've got a creative streak in you then you are going to love it. We've identified a few careers that lend themselves well to a splash of creativity and have managed to get some really great interviews and insightful comments from people who are currently working in various creative industries. Music is one of those industries so go and check out our interviews and photos of Locnville and Jax Panik. Otherwise we've interviewed a journalist, cartoonist, photographer, magazine designer and finally a fashion designer - this feature will really get your creative juices flowing. But don't get down hearted! If you're more technically minded there is still loads of stuff in this issue that you'll enjoy reading. Ever heard about the SKA? It's cutting edge stuff and happening in our own back yard and has got some amazing spin offs that will influence every day life. So what else? Well we've got some info on gap years for you to consider. If you're thinking of going to work overseas on a super yacht then you'd better go and see what we've got to say about the how's and why's of getting yourself over there, earning some mega bucks and seeing the world. One of the really important things that I also most forgot to mention was our bursary and scholarship options. If you're battling to find funding to take your studies further then we've got few options for you to consider. Who knows? One SMS could change your life forever! Speaking of SMS's we're also giving away some really amazing prizes including a scooter (to get you around town next year) some sun glasses, the latest Croc's as well as some other bits and bobs that are well worth winning. That's it from me for this issue. The only thing that's left for me to do is to wish you all GOOD LUCK for the upcoming exams and remember to leave the party'ing to December. Party Karate.

Why a career in music? Why not? How did you come up with the name Locnville? We took words that related to our American and South African backgrounds and just put them together, the rest is a mystery. What has surprised you most about the music industry? The politics behind the music. There is so much going on behind the scenes that nobody sees, and it's really interesting to see how it all works. People think that being a musician is all glamour. What's your take on this? There is an aspect of glamour to being a musician, but it's mostly just smoke and mirrors. This industry requires a lot of work and it never stops, it's a 24/7 job - but it's really fun. What's your best day at the office? When everything is running according to plan. Seeing the team happy makes us even happier. Locnville have swept the local music industry by storm and are currently touring Europe. We caught up with them and asked them a bit more about themselves... What's your worst day at the office? When a radio station denies play listing us for some odd reason. But about a week later they always end up playing it - I think radio stations just enjoy denying things at first. What advice would you give to someone wanting to follow a career as a musician? Carry on your path, and don't let anyone bring you down, because everyone will try to distract you and make you think you're making the wrong decision - but if you are passionate and motivated about being a musician, then it's never the wrong decision. What's been the most insane gig you've played at and why? The most insane gig would have to be our Arena Show in Cape Town or Johannesburg. The energy was immense, and the people were going wild - it was such a fantastic show to perform! What personality traits do you think will stand you in good stead in this industry? Keeping our head in the clouds but our feet on the ground. It's very important to not get caught up in the hype, and I think we both do a good job at keeping our minds in the right place. How have you found the touring schedule? Any creature comforts that you miss from home? The touring schedule has really been crazy. It has been completely back to back interviews and shows, then off to the airport again, and again and again. Mostly we miss our friends and having a base, because it can sometimes get a bit tough living in and out of a suitcase. When can we expect to see you in SA again? Very soon! We often get people telling us to 'come back home and not forget who supported you first' and we really take that to heart. South Africa is our home and always will be, so we will come back as soon and often as possible. After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. ALDOUS HUXLEY 5

Nothing short of world domination Tell us a little bit about yourself? I'm a Cape Town boy through and through having spent both my high school (at DF Malan) and university career (Stellenbosch University) in the greater Cape Town area. Ever since I can remember music has been part of my life and even when it was not full on it was always in the background. I think I've also tried my hand at most musical instruments (trombone, piano, guitar, drums, recorder, singing, etc) and been in countless bands. Not many people know this but I was part of a band at high school called 22 Stars. At that stage we were playing gigs all over Cape Town and had a particularly good relationship with another band called New World Inside. When both bands split up most of the members got together to form Fokofpolisiekar. People always wonder why I've suddenly appeared on the scene, but Jax has always been there in the background. How did you decide on music as a career? One thing that had a huge impact on my career was my time spent at university. I studied a Visual Communications degree, but more importantly was exposed to such a wide range of influences, even the MUSICIAN World domination? That's what Jax Panik has set his mind on and judging by his latest release Get Up (if you're hot) the impossible may just become possible. We caught up with Jax about his career and thoughts on the music industry. subjects I studied influenced my career. Things like art, history and English (particularly with writing lyrics) plus I was exposed to music that I'd never really listened to or enjoyed before. When I got to university it was only punk rock, but I immersed myself in instrumentals, classical, electronic, you name it I did it - the experimenting I did was huge and shaped the way I now see my career. Another thing that most people don't know is that I've got a normal day job. After university Johnny de Ridder (of fokofpolisiekar fame) and I started a company producing music for TV commercials. This allows me to pay the bills and put food on the table, but for the 4 years that I've been doing it Jax Panik has always been in there. Tells us about your first hit single? Jax Panik has been a passion project of mine and even though I have a normal day job I was composing and writing music. Cigarettes & Cinnamon was sent through to 5FM with a lot of encouragement from friends. I did not nearly expect it to be as successful as it was, but hey who's complaining. The 3 weeks that it spent at Number 1 certainly gave me a boost to focus more exclusively on my career. Jax Panik is now about to start with his world domination after about 3 or 4 years of hard work. What advice would you give to someone wishing to pursue a career in music? You've got to be very specific about what 6 Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. BERTHOLD AUERBACH you want to do. One of the great things about this industry is that there are so many different things you could focus on or pursue, but the downside to that is that you can get distracted. Specialise in one or two things and become exceptional at those. Decide early on if you want to play an instrument, go into stage, film, singing, writing, performance, etc and then work on making yourself the best in that particular segment of the industry. Doing plenty of research and being honest about what you want also helps. One of the producers that I really look up to has a good quote. He always talks about not being a "weekend producer" and I think that's a very valid point if you want to become successful. What type of person do you think would to well in this industry? This industry can accommodate basically any personality type under then sun. The trick is finding a part of the industry that suites your personality. If you are loud, arrogant, love people, performing, etc then being a frontman of a band will be up your street, but if you're quite, reserved or shy then producing or writing music might be the thing for you. As I said, find something that suits your personality - music caters to all. When is your album going to be out? It should be in stores already (at the time of writing it was scheduled to be released mid September, Ed. ). The album is called I am Jax Panik. What's next for you? Always world domination!!

There are so many exciting bands in SA at the moment (Locnville, Die Antwoord, Jack Parow, etc) and I think that the international community is starting to take what we are producing in SA seriously and hopefully I can capitalise on that.

lay it out MAGAZINE DESIGNER What exactly does a magazine designer do? Magazine designers are responsible for how a magazine looks. We decide on all the fonts to be used, the style of the magazine, the look and feel, and the type of photographs to be used. The actual design process comes in when we take all these elements and put them together on a page. This is where the creativity comes in! What type of person would do well in a career like this? You need to be a creative person who loves taking all different types of elements and making them work together. You also have to be quite detailoriented because the outcome of a layout isn't just based on all the pictures and colours looking great together. It's also about checking in on the smaller things, such as: does all the text line up at the bottom?; are all the pictures the right resolution? What are great things about the job? Working on magazines you get lots of perks. I was sent on a trip to Switzerland when I worked with Food & Home Entertaining magazine and on Cosmo we got lots of free samples of awesome makeup. But apart from these perks, it's great being able to be part of something that reaches so many people and to be able to see the final product and know that you contributed in some way to it. And the things that drive you mad? Being a layout artist is different to being an individual artist where you produce the work you want to without any constraints. In the magazine industry, you have to, of course, always keep your target audience in mind when designing a page. You might love bright colours but the magazine might be aimed at an audience that prefers muted tones and so you have to adjust and adapt to suit the tone of the magazine you are working on. There are also times when layouts have to be changed last minute due to extra adverts coming in and changing pages around. This can be frustrating but also good because it always keeps you on your toes! What's the best way of breaking into the industry? The best way of breaking into the industry is probably applying for an internship like I did. I started at Food & Home Entertaining magazine as an intern. I watched and learnt and ended up being employed full-time after 4 months. Even if you don't get employed full time after an internship, the experience is invaluable and you will be more favourably considered for a position elsewhere because you have had hands-on experience. What type of tertiary study options are available? I did a Bachelor of Journalism degree from Rhodes university which involved design but you can do more practical courses at from institutions such as Vega or the Design School. Sometimes it takes several versions of a layout before you get the right one. Here is an example of a layout from this issue on page xx Teya Esterhuizen is our in-house designer but she has also worked on titles such as Elle and Cosmo. She gives us the scoop on magazine design I started with a curly font, fewer photos, using green as the main colour and royal blue as the accent colour In this version, I placed the copy over both pages, added another food picture and made group shot smaller. This is the final version. I went with a more sophisticated font for the headline and stuck with the red/green colour combination as these are colours that were picked out of the food pictures. I also changed the headline font and colour and spread it across both pages The use of a quote draws the reader in and tells them, at a glance what the story is about. The use of colour on this page makes the layout more appealing 8 To design is to communicate clearly by whatever means you can control or master.

Six Dragons win individual championships
Jefferson's remarkable state title streak is safe for another year.
The Dragons secured their 14th consecutive traditional state crown Saturday at Toombs County by placing eight wrestlers in the finals and claiming six individual state championships to fend off a host of Class AA challengers.
"It's amazing," Jefferson coach Doug Thurmond said. "We had so much adversity this year, it's been freaking crazy. So many people were hurt, and all these kids stepped up."
Jefferson finished with 193 points, beating second-place Bremen by 37 points (156). Third-place Social Circle (134) and fourth-place Toombs County (124.5) also had strong showings.
The Dragons' lead over Bremen dwindled to eight points by mid-afternoon Saturday during the consolation semifinals. But Jefferson responded by winning six of eight finals matches to keep alive a streak that started way back in 2001.
Tyler Marinelli claimed his third state title with a win in the 138 class, while Chase Piperato grabbed his second title with a victory at 126. First-time champions included Price Joiner (113), Jack Dollar (145), Caleb "Bam" Little (160) and Michael Paolozzi (220). Paolozzi's win came as a result of an illegal slam from his opponent, Toombs County's Jamar Smith. The illegal move left Paolozzi unable to continue the match, as ruled by a trainer onsite, and he was awarded the victory. Paolozzi sustained a concussion and was treated at a hospital.
Tanner Thurmond (132) and Zach Boobas (152) finished as runners-up. Also placing were Zach Rhymer (third, 170) and Deshon Lester (fourth, 195).
For full coverage of Jefferson's state title run, see the Feb. 26 issue of The Jackson Herald.

Update on Box Office from VARIETYMedia
June 11, 2004, 07:31 AM
Earlier this week, VARIETY reported that the total North American ticket sales were a million dollars more than originally predicted - $93.7 million.
Producer David Heyman attributed its success to several factors including older kids turning up in droves. They grew up reading the books and continue to follow the movies. Teens are a core group that repeats trips to theaters for popular films.
"Our audience base is expanding. We're bringing in the newer audiences and retaining the teenagers," he told Reuters.
Good reviews and the direction from Mexico's Alfonso Cuaron, whose previous hit "Y Tu Mama Tambien" had adult themes, brought in older audiences, too, Heyman said.

News: Rick Ross Credits Diddy & Baby For Inspiring Maybach Empire, "It Spilled Over From [Their] Music"
Tuesday, May 17, 2011 11:50AM
Southern rapper Rick Ross recently discussed assembling his Maybach Music Group and why hip-hop stars like Diddy and Baby ultimately motivated him to create his own movement.
In addition to Bad Boy and Cash Money, Ross said Master P's No Limit Records also inspired him.
"Building Maybach Music Group, building this empire, of course I was inspired by some of the earlier movements and earlier dudes that came along such as Cash Money [and] Bad Boy Records. To me, when I really think about the greatest era of hip-hop, that was the greatest eras of hip-hop; when I turned on the TV and saw Big, Mase, Junior Mafia, and the Lox. That was the most exciting era of hip-hop. I looked at the No Limit era and saw that camaraderie that they had, that unity, that brotherhood that they shared. I think it spilled over from [their] music," Rick Ross says. (The Juice)
Recently signed Maybach Music Group artist Teedra Moses credited Ross' aim to build an empire as a driving force in her decision to link with "The Boss" last month.
"If they have wanted something else they wouldn't have came for me. This is not a situation like most labels. What Rick Ross is trying to do is build a real label not a rap group. He [Rick Ross] went out and got Wale. He's not trying to have Wale do something different. There's an audience that likes Wale. Stalley has an audience who likes him. Ross isn't asking us to change or do something that we don't already do. He's picking artist that people cling to and he works that." (Billboard)
A couple months ago, Ross explained how much of an impact he saw artists like Wale and Meek Mill could make to Maybach Music.
"[Signing Wale and Meek Mill], it just solidifies we're one of the fastest-growing labels in hip-hop...I mean, it is what it is," Ross said in response to the bidding war for his Maybach Music Group. "Right now we're on fire. We making, and it's not just a temporary thing, but we're making the best music, man. And we make all ranges of music. I think the industry's just understanding that. So it's not just about Rick Ross and Maybach Music, it's our brand, it's our movement, it's the type of sound that we done brought to the game -- We getting paper, what else can I say?" (The Source)
Earlier this year, Ross signed his label to Warner Bros. Records.
Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group has found a place to park. After meeting with various labels, the Miami rapper has signed a deal to bring his roster of talent to Warner Bros. Records. "Its official!!!!!! @maybachmusicgrp has partnered with Warner Bros!!!!!!!!!!! s/o Lyor Cohen..Tod..Joey I.e..dallas..and my brother Gucci Pucci," tweeted the Bawse in the early hours of Saturday. "Deal of the CENTURY!!!!!!!!!!!!! #MMG #WB." While details have yet to be announced, the deal is expected to include distribution, marketing, and promotion for artistsRoss signs to his imprint. (Rap-Up)
Maybach Music Group's first compilation album, Self Made, is slated to drop Monday, May 23rd.

Database connection error (2): Could not connect to MySQL.
Hello I've just purchased your excellent template.
However during Quickstart package installation for Step4 I was getting a SQL error caused by " _usergroups table" included into the sample_data.sql file because a MySQL 5 + BTREE syntax conflict.
I had to change line 1906 to —> KEY `idx_usergroup_nested_set_lookup` USING BTREE (`lft`,`rgt`)
... just to proceed to install sample data.
After complete the installation, site look was a mess (not style) because looks like it couldn't find the correct template—> there were error permissions for cache/template directory. I chmoded to 777 and now works OK.
I'ts cache directory the correct place for those files?
Also from Admin—> System Check observed a possible issue warning: "Multiple jQuery Libraries found. Please make sure these don't conflict each other". /media/com_uniterevolution/assets/rs-plugin/js/jquery.themepunch.plugins.min.js /media/com_uniterevolution/assets/rs-plugin/js/jquery.themepunch.revolution.js /media/com_uniterevolution/assets/rs-plugin/js/jquery.themepunch.revolution.min.js
Please, let me know if I should remove any or not of those libraries. Thanks a lot!
Thanks for buying.
What version of MySQL are you using?
With old version of MySQL there is a problem with BTREE its not supported. I will take the BTREE out and upload a new quickstart today so there will not be any errors i will notify here when the new version will be out.
As for the JQuery library this is just the notice warning its not error. You can live it as it is. This is just Warp Framework checking for JQuery how many there is.
MySQL 5.5.25a Thanks a lot for your fast response
Here try replacing this MySQL file in the Quickstart and then start the fresh installation i believe everything will work now.
Let me know how it goes.http://sdrv.ms/YBBfvO
Yes it goes OK.. Just as before I need chmod 777 cache/templates to get proper home template style.
home sample view with original cache/templates directory permissions after installation (initially chmoded 755)—> http://18.104.22.168/k5/home.png
Thanks again
OK glad to help If you need any more help go to help.webthemer.com and i will help you.
Very nice theme. Great work. GLWS.
Thanks Karolina
I don't want to come across as rude so please take my question as purely an inquiry. I've gone through your template as best as I can without purchasing it and I'm trying to understand what exactly makes this a $50 template as opposed to a $40 or $45 template? Again, I mean no disrespect or malice to you or your product.
Hi, none taken .
The ThemeForest gave this price not me. The theme have some nice features and examples. But for my point of view this is ok price for something that you will use for company website or make a website for your client. They will surely pay much higher then $50 for the project that they will order from you, and i provide full support for my Themes and Templates.
The first part of you answer sufficed. I didn't know if you or they set the price. I can attest to the quality of service you provide, it's really good. Thank you for your quick response, as always. Good luck with sales!
Thanks !
Really nice work. Good luck with sales
Thanks ArrowThemes
Really Cool Design. Best luck with Sales.
I like your design and configuration. Let me ask question.
At home version 2, I would like to use "LEFT and Right Space" for Advertisement. How can I do that ?
I am highly interested at your product.
You can easily do that i will show you how, the template is very modular.
Thank you. 1) Is it possible for you to add the feature to have BACKGROUND change automatically with picture or video? 2) Do I have to change code to pictures on slide or other simple changes? Some themes require lots of work to change code. I am really interested to purchase.
1. You can have different background on every page 2. NO no code, The slider have there own administration you don't need to change any code. You can install Quickstart and it will be all clear to you how thing work.
I am preparing tutorials that will be in Solutions on help.webthemer.com where you will have the ability to find out more how to change things.
Hello I paid your theme because it is really awesome and their support seems to be great. After I downloaded the package, I did not find a quickstart to version 3.0. It is possible to provide?
Please open a support ticket on help.webthemer.com, and i will provide instructions there.
Looking to purchase this template..looks good
Is there any live sites (excluding your demo) that you know of that is running this template so i can have a quick look…
What would this be like with jomsocial?
and finally, do you supply a quickstart that would give me the exact layout of your template as per your demo and is there anything else I would need to download for it to work?
many thanks
Sorry for now i have no live sites, i haven't tested this with JomSocial, the quick-start is the exact demo you install it like regular new Joomla Install.
thanks for the reply – il purchase it
do you have available a Quickstart package for joomla 3.x instead of 2.5.x? Thanks a lot. Regards.
There is only 2.5 but its easy to Upgrade to 3.0. I will today make a few tutorials on http://help.webthemer.com/solution/categories how to install it for 3.0 and how to convert joomla quickstart from 2.5 to 3.0. The only thing is that Unite Revolution Slider is not working in 3.0 everything else is working.
thanks a lot!
hi there i installed the template version 3 on joomla 3 but for the life of me can not find the template options anywhere in the administration section. it shows the template in template manager but all the links only take me to edit the template files themselves not to the general/profiles section. how can i access the general/profiles menu from?
Hi, please open a ticket at help.webthemer.com and send me username and password of the joomla installation.
also the revolution slider gives me a 500 error in 3.0.2 am i assuming wrongly that this template is not 3.0.2 ready?
The guys at Unite Revolution Slider are working on the Joomla 3 update. You can use the Widgetkit slider instead that works on 3.0.
awesome thanks for the update
No problem if you need any other help go to help.webthemer.com
This pattern does contain Russian localization?
Yes the Theme Supports the Russian Language.
Hi, Just wondering which extension is used for masonry folio layout? Is this part of widget kit? Sorry if my question sound silly, I haven't used Widget Kit before. Regards
No its RokSprocket.
Thank you.
Sorry to bother you, I have one more pre-sale question. Does your theme (or the Joomla package) comes with styles for any 3rd party blog extension like K2 or similar? The Joomla default blog is not really a sophisticated feature and doesn't include social sharing, tags etc. I guess, my question is if I install K2 or ZOO, would this theme support it and include the styles for it? If not, can you recommend the solution because I really need functions of Joomla with a wordpress-like blog, including "like", "Tweet" and "Google+" buttons on posts. Cheers
I believe that Zoo have a Warp 6 template that is compatible with the Warp Framework. This should work or it will only need a little tweaking.
Hi Webthemer, Very nice job. Congrats, good luck with sales..

This idea has been some time in the making and is finally here. When I first met Jim Turner he mentioned the idea of "Hey wouldn't it be a great idea to have a business blogging Caribbean cruise?" I thought … Yeah! Awesome, let's do it! Well months later we've taken the wraps off the cruise website and blog …Blogonomics (website) and the Blogonomics Blog.
So, what's the deal? Basically it's a five-day cruise from Fort Lauderdale to Cozumel and back (of course back!) that we're considering a blogging boot camp on the high seas (with fruity drinks!). The goal is that attendees can come learn about blogging from leading experts (with topics like design, metrics, SEO, using RSS, and writing) and leave ready to blog better or get their business blog off the ground. We'll have on-board WiFi and hands-on workshops in the evenings like adding pictures to your blog.
All the pricing and info is on our website. We have early-bird pricing available for the first 100 bookings, so with the amount of interest we've been getting on the back-channel … you might think about getting in early.
We are, of course, looking for sponsors for this first-of-its-kind event. Scott has pulled together a super sponsor-info pack and other information on the website as well.
This has been a true team effort. None of this could have been done without this awesome team. Scott Goldblatt has been leading the charge for Jim and I. Shylah, true to form, always comes in just when we're getting behind. And then there's Jeremy Wright … the cool, cool template is his doing. Not to mention that many of the contributors here (Jim, me, Jeremy) are confirmed speakers and there are more to come!
So … let's get cruising!

I didn't hear about this until this morning on the CBS morning news program...Jim DeMint was on & he commented on her making this statement & the old guy conducting the interview went ballistic, yelled at him for repeating "lies" & said what she may or may not have said was "old news" & cut him off from anymore comments about this womans statement.....WOW....this is what our news is turning into. That is scary!December 30, 2009 at 9:21 p.m.

gee, did I step on somebodies obviously biased toes.December 30, 2009 at 11:37 a.m.
Interestingly enough I just heard a commentator state this viewpoint. I have to agree. The "system" as created is not broken. It is the people within that system that are executing the procedures that are making the errors, taking bribes, or are part of the terrorist plots. When stated that way I agree.
1. Terrorists exist. However we have people within our current presidential administration that support Islamic jihad actions and refuse to use any type of words that might offend the terrrorists which they apparently may silently support. This is people not processes.
2. The terrorist's father notified US officials. But people FAILED to do anything.
3. There are warning lists. But because this man has a VISA and supposedly on a list to attend school possibly in Houston, there was not a No fly warning. But PEOPLE were "watching" him.
4. In Amsterdam, the person who helped board the plane, apparently made some kind of deal with people of the Airline. He left the ticketline and went into a room with someone. Did money change hands or was there a terrorist cell at the airport?
Again people.
Today the Dutch announced that full body scans will be done on all passengers going to the US. Would a drug dog have caught the scent.
In all points in this act, people failed to do something where there are procedures and controls. Why did the people do this? Do they have instructions like Obama put out on the Waco incident--do not track or harrass Islamic people?
We have a president that will not state there is a war because the Islamics would be declared enemy combatants --and this President cannot do that because he supports Islam over the United States --his actions speak this so clearly. Since the Christmas Day attack was only a mere incident --not terrorism.December 30, 2009 at 10:11 a.m.
This comment was removed by the user.December 30, 2009 at 9:20 a.m.
Obama is weak in foreign policy and only wishes to pacify the US within global politics, his administration is made up of law breakers who wish only their agenda forcibly pushed on everyone and his response to the Nigeria bomber with ties to Al queda prove his weakness. "Oh! an isolated incident" weak to say the least...Weak towards N. Korea...Weak towards Iran...Strongly against Israel...Bows before Saudi King...Which is higher the tip of his nose or the top of his head???December 30, 2009 at 7:47 a.m.
I know, Reyrey. Not quite the same, but so much like, "You're doing a heck of a job, Brownie!" and the "Mission Accomplished" banner...
Incredible!December 30, 2009 at 7:25 a.m.
I can not believe that she actually said that the "system" worked. I almost fell out of the couch and spilled my Kool-Aid. We are lucky that this guy was not able to initiate the system properly. Not that he was a buffoon but rather; it is rather complicated to initiate the system with a liquid compared to a blasting cap. The system totally failed and we got lucky but how long before luck runs out? I mean, their plan was perfect, a Christmas day disaster, close to an airport so there would not be any doubt who did it. I am not terrorist expert but this is the second time that this administration down plays a terrorist's act. I am still livid about Ft. Hood. Same response, downplayed and hopefully it will go away or people will buy their lies. I know that some people will come in Obama's defense, stating that he does not want us to be scared but geez, how long before this administration calls it the way it is, terrorism and the actors are not going away.December 30, 2009 at 3:09 a.m.

Darlington councillor criticises police for leaving speed camera location in High Coniscliffe unmanned for two years
6:00am Sunday 27th April 2014 in News By Joanna Morris
A COUNCILLOR has criticised police for leaving a speed camera location unmanned for two years.
In 2007, residents of High Coniscliffe, near Darlington, called for enforcement action after a survey showed more than half of the vehicles travelling through the area were speeding.
The village was listed as one of more than 100 locations covered by the police's safety camera van, however, recent inquiries revealed that the van had not monitored traffic in the village since April 2012.
The most recent figures available date from 2011 and show that, in some cases, the camera, situated on the A67, had been triggered more than 50 times in just over an hour.
Ward councillor Gerald Lee said he had been shocked and disappointed to find that, despite the figures, the van had not been present for two years.
While traffic in the area is currently quieter than normal as a result of diversions following the recent landslip on the A67, Coun Lee warned that the volume will inevitably increase following repairs and could be higher than ever before.
Calling for the police to step up their enforcement measures in the area, he said: "In 2007, a traffic survey showed more than 44,000 vehicles travelling through the village in a week were going at more than 36mph.
"Those figures will no doubt have increased and it is a dangerous blackspot.
"People say it is difficult to get across the road, there is overtaking in silly places and it all boils down to careless and irresponsible driving and a lack of enforcement."
A spokesman for Durham Constabulary said the area was not regarded as a priority site.
He added: "Over the last three years there have been only three injury accidents on that stretch of road, none of which resulted in serious injuries or were caused by excess speed.
"In the last few weeks local officers have been carrying out community speedwatch operations, in one session only two cars were recorded in an hour as exceeding the speed limit and on the second occasion, there were only three cars recorded as going too fast.
"The figures do not suggest there is a need for further enforcement, however it is our intention to carry out more sessions in the near future."

A camera that generated 50 tickets in an hour the last time it was used??? Im sure the cash generated by those figures is nothing to do with why Coun Lee is demanding its return! Him and his crownies in the town could have a good night out with that :)

Leave Councillor Ward alone - these people have to feel they are important and be seen to be doing something or we might not elect them.The fact that there isn't much of a speeding problem compared to other parts of the County are irrelevant but at least his name has appeared in the Echo !

Living in the real world says...
So why is the camera van situated here on a regular basis?
If the statistics don't meet the criteria then surely its just there as a cash cow, but it is a deterrent as people do speed down this stretch of road.
As for High Consicliffe, have a a look at Skeeby Mr Lee, they have 'traffic calming' humps the length of the village which prevent speeding. A physical measure is always the most effective way of slowing traffic, but in a few weeks you won't have any through traffic, a good time to get your speed bumps fitted.

But Tory t0sser Gerald Lee still wants motorists to suffer tax fines for doing 35 in a 30 for driving along a main road which the police themselves say is of no concern, and causes no problems.
Get rid of Labour, and the Tories. Vote UKIP!

I started this one a while ago, but haven't had a chance to finish it up. We all know our defense is struggling to get interceptions and has dropped nearly as many picks as our WRs have dropped catchable passes. Being in position is not always difficult, it is making the play that is difficult, ask Ike Taylor. When you think of ball hawk style DB, we all know the usual suspects. Ed Reed, Darren Sharper, Charles Woodson. All these guys follow what I call the 7/13 rule. The 7/15 rule is as such, during a player's college career, if he has at least 15 interceptions with one year of 7 or more, he will be a pick machine. Darren Sharper went to Tomlin U (William and Mary) where he finished his career with 24 picks, with 10 in his senior season. Charles Woodson (Michigan), the only primarily defensive player to win the Heisman. Only played three years, 5/5/8 (Jr year). Total is 18. Ed Reed (Miami) played 4 years and his picks per year 2/2/8/9 (21 total).
Now for the exceptions (Rod Woodson) it is more a crapshoot, but a player that does returns or also plays offense seems to help. Once again, Reed, Sharper and Charles Woodson all did just that. Rod Woodson was the only real player on Purdue and did everything, so he is not surprising. So what does that mean for Buffalo's Jarius Byrd, who has 8 picks so far this season. Well, 5/7/5 total of 17, expect to see him up top yearly. Do we have anyone like that, well close but not quite on the 7/15. Joe Burnett had 16 total but 6 was his single season high. He was an All-American return man, there is hope. He gets a pass for the dropped pick, he was just trying to fit in (that was sarcasm). With rumors he and Lewis could end up starting this weekend we may yet see. Let them take their bruises now right? "Big Play" Willie Gay had 6 in his final season but only 7 total, and his most memorable moment is when he singlehandedly blew Louisville's BCS Championship hopes in his final year by jumping offside on a field goal attempt against Rutgers. Look at the video. Willie is the gunner on the left that jumps offsides. Field Goal misses, is reattempted, and Rutgers handed Louisville their only loss of that season. Ike Taylor, 8 passes deflected no picks, much like his career. Troy, 6 total, 3 high. Keenan Lewis, our other rookie had 3/4 in his final two years for 7 total. We need some hands in our defensive backfield, and I think we can find these guys in this year's draft which I will talk about following the jump.
So we all know we most certainly have needs on this team. Farrior is not playing as well as last year, that is undeniable. What has also become apparent is that Kevin Colbert and company have a better idea about our roster than the coaches in that as much as resigning Clark was pushed by the coaches, Keisel was signed. Keisel is playing lights out and Clark is apparently is playing without the lights on. FYI, I am wondering if that is not quite true. Is there a possibility that the coaches didn't want to resign him. Passing the blame to the front office could take a lot of awkwardness out of the locker toom. Just saying. Willie Gay, I have already taken my shots at him. Here are starters we could lose this offseason:
Willie Colon – Isn't it ironic how different the opinion of him is from the offseason. Maybe Bill Belicheck wasn't blowing smoke up our butts when he called him one of the best RT in the NFL two seasons ago.
Santonio Holmes – Will he search for the "former Superbowl MVP" paycheck or work out a mutually beneficial deal to stay home.
Ryan Clark – I do love some of the things he does for us, but in my opinion a FS needs to ensure he is the last guy. If that means playing the ball at the expense of the SportsCenter top 10 hit, so be it. Besides, a turnover is much more beneficial than a big hit. Sorry, that is a fact.
Willie Parker – He is going to have to take a hometown discount or a plane ticket elsewhere. I love Willie Parker, he is the consummate professional, something he learned from Bettis. I hope is stays because when healthy, he is still a good change of pace back. Or maybe that is my sentimental side.
Casey Hampton – Big Snack is still a great NT, but if he wants top 5-10 NT money he will have to walk. Still valuable but only a two down player for the past couple years.
I see a the following needs:
ILB/OLB Depth (what is God forbid Harrison or Woodley goes down)
OL Depth (a C/G and another T)
The Steelers draft principles are as follows:
1. Draft young guys with big potential and give them time to develop (Timmons, Mendy, and Hood).
2. Draft value, better known as best player available.
4. Trust the scouts and trust the Personnel Department.
If the Steelers can stop the bleeding, I see us picking between 18 and 23 (if we can make playoffs). If not, this will be a mash because Eric Berry could actually be within reach. That would be bittersweet, Berry would be awesome, but at the expense of tanking the rest of the season and trading other picks, not so much. I also put us as getting a 3rd Round Supplemental for FA losses (I am hoping but think 4 or 5 is probably more likely).
With that, here is my draft Steelers style. I rated each draft pick based on the following five criteria all on a 1-10 scale:
Size – Based on the position drafted for 5/6 is average for position.
Fit – Based on player's fit on Steelers 5/6 is average fit.
Readiness – NFL Ready or Developmental pick higher than 6 is contributor, lower than 5 is project.
Potential – Self-explanatory.
Position – Draft position. Below 5 is a reach 6/7 is right where you want 8 and up a steal.
Round 1
Von Miller – Linebacker, Texas A&M, 6'3"/240 lbs
Size – 9 Fit – 9 Readiness – 9 Potential – 9 Position – 7 Total 43
Undecided if he is coming out or not, but I think if he does, he is the top linebacker on my board. Here is why, first off, very Timmons-esque in that he can play inside and out in the 3/4. A 4-star recruit coming out of high school, he came in and played LB for a couple years. This year, they put him as Jack, a DE/LB Hybrid that lines up all over and plays standing up, so the transition will be very easy for most part. This season he broke out with 44 tackles, 21 TFL, 17 sacks, 5 BU, 5 PD, 4 FF. That is a career for some college LB. And that line is in the Big 12, we aren't talking about the Big East here. Here is what impresses me most about him. And we aren't talking about He isn't just a speed-rusher, he can switch from one to another and with fluidity. Look at 1:14 and 1:30 on the film, speed to the outside, and he can swim or spin to the inside if necessary. Look at his speed to the QB, about 3 seconds. He shores up two needs, back-up OLB/pass rush specialist and possibly the future ILB. Imagine the pass rush of Wood, Timmons, Miller, and Harrison. Pass rush helps improve coverage and vice versa, right.
Round 2
Jacoby Ford – Wide Receiver/KR/PR, Clemson, 5'10"/185 lbs
Size – 7 Fit – 8 Readiness – 8 Potential – 9 Position – 8 Total 40
via media.scout.com
Imagine having C.J. Spiller a round later and add in a little Antwan Randel El. He has passing, rushing, KR, PR, and receiving TD in his career and is one of the most explosive players on the field every game. Not just that, but he is an NCAA champion runner. He hasn't lost an indoor 60m race in two years with a 6.52 at the NCAA finals (6.51 in the prelims). His outside 100m best is 10.01. Take his 60m time (the race is at about the 3 minute mark of the first video), put it at a 40 yrd time and you are looking at about 3.96. Now, he won't run that because the first 20 is slower than the rest of the race. I do think he could possibly be a 4.2 guy. Who knows, maybe he can break the 4.1 marker. Look how quick he pulls away after breaking the tackle in the attached PR. This year's Percy Harvin. Especially important if Holmes is gone.
Round 3a
Akwasi Owuso-Ansah – Cornerback/KR/PR, Indiana University – Pennsylvania (IUP), 6'1"/205 lbs
Size – 9 Fit – 7 Readiness – 7 Potential – 10 Position – 6 Total 39
via media.scout.com
Small School Prospect who some of you might have more info on than I do. 4.4 forty, with great hands, the anti-Ike. He had 8 picks and 10 PD as a junior so they stopped throwing his way this season and ended with 2 and 6 this season. In the last two years he has 3 KR TD, 3 PR TD, 1 INT TD, 1 FR TD. Might be a little reach this high, but with a good showing in post season all-star play and a good combine and he might not even last this long. The one question mark is run support, as he only had 32 tackles in the last two years. Not quite a 7/15 guy, but 8/10 and opponents avoiding him like the plague this season, he could be something special. Goodbye Willie Gay, hello AOA.
Round 3b
Thomas Austin – Center/Guard, Clemson, 6'4"/315
Size – 9 Fit – 9 Readiness – 8 Potential – 6 Position – 7 Total 39
Mel Kiper's #1 ranked center although he played LG all season. Sophomore season, 4 starts at RG, 8 at center. Junior season, 6 at guard, 7 center. Senior season, 13 LG, with 34 straight. Could push for playing time right away at G or C or be a viable backup and take over when Hartwig departs in 2012. Solid base, good trap and short puller. Look at Clemson's running game the last three years, here is the best lineman on all three of those lines.
Round 4
Brian Lainhart – FS, Kent State, 6'1"/207
Size – 9 Fit – 9 Readiness – 7 Potential – 8 Position – 6 Total 39
via pictopia.com
Could be the steal of the draft if my theory is correct. Here is his last three years:
2009 – 87 tkl, 7 int, 4 PD, 4 FF
2008 – 106 tkl, 6 int, 5 PD, 3 FF, 1 FR
2007 – 63 tkl, 2 int, 3 PD, 2 FR
He can do the run support thing, but is not a liability when playing centerfield. He would pair with AOA in round 3 to give us a future defensive backfield that isn't a liability if Polamalu is sidelined. If he is not available, Robert Vaughn of UCONN is similar with slightly less upside. He is 6'0" 200 lbs with 13 career picks, 7 in 2007 just shy of the 7/15 rule.
Round 5
Derek Hardman – Offensive Tackle, E. Kentucky, 6'6"/305
Size – 8 Fit – 7 Readiness – 5 Potential – 8 Position – 5 Total 33
via blogs.heraldtimesonline.com
An all-state hurdler in high school, was recruited as a TE and moved to Tackle. Very fluid athlete, can mirror rusher. Decent power, but some room to add strength when he gets into a professional strength program. Really good hip bend, I think this kid can play LT in the NFL. I still want to see his workups. Another option for the right side is Edwin "Jared" Veldheer, Hillsdale. 6'8", 321 lbs (Steelers size). Supposedly ran a 4.9 forty during last spring practices. Will he be a workout warrior or a small school steal? Some draftniks think with good coaching he could play LT. One thing Zeirlein does well, like him or not, is teach technique. If you remember during the offseason Colon talking about how much that is emphasized by Coach Larry. He has some power (see below video) and shouldn't get pushed around. The key to this lift is explosiveness, but I think Hardman is a little more polished.
Round 6
John Fletcher – Defensive End, Wyoming, 6'7"/272 lbs
Size – 7 Fit – 8 Readiness – 6 Potential – 8 Position – 8 Total 37
via multimedia.heraldinteractive.com
I only gave him a 7 on size because of his current size, he would have a couple of years behind Smith, Keisel and Hood to pack on 10-20 lbs but at 6'7" could easily carry the extra weight. 4.85 forty. The next Keisel wedge-buster. Here is what is really stands out look at the last three years and tell me this isn't a great late round grab if he is still available:
2009 – 46 tkl, 12.5 TFL, 7 sacks, 5 PD, 2 FF, 1 FR, 3 BK
2008 – 54 tkl, 6.5 TFL, 4.5 sacks, 1 PD, 1 FF, 0 FR, 0 BK
2007 – 60 tkl, 14 TFL, 10.5 sacks, 1 PD, 1 FF, 1 FR, 1 BK
2006 – 9 tkl, 3 TFL, 2 sacks
Total – 169 tkl, 36 TFL, 22 sacks, 7 PD, 4 FF, 2 FR, 4 BK
That, my friends, is production!!!!!!
Round 7
Travis Ivey – Defensive Tackle, Maryland, 6'4"/325 lbs
Size – 9 Fit – 9 Readiness – 6 Potential – 8 Position – 6 Total 36
via grfx.cstv.com
I really like this kid. Not huge numbers and played for Maryland, but has the size and drive to succeed. Taller than Hampton, and almost looks sleek at 325 lbs and from the game I watched had a motor. Big and strong, able to hold at the point of attack and at 6'4" could get his hands up in the passing lanes to delay passes for the pass rush. Here is what I like most, he seems level headed and willing to work his butt off (unlike former Maryland DT Dre Moore who Tampa Bay cut for being lazy). After giving Coach Mitchell Hood and Harris this year, Fletcher and Ivey further add youth to our D-Line. Some people like Kade Watson of Georgia and Cam Thomas of UNC, Kade is a one year starter and will be available after the last pick, and Cam Thomas looked lazy in every game I saw. He was the least impressive of the UNC D-Linemen.
This is how the Steelers draft, you start out confused and surprised, but they work. And by the way, some of you may remember me picking a few of the draft picks this last year, including Urbik, who I still think will produce. I am now ready for the butchering. Bring it on, I can take it.
Next time...If coaching changes are made, who would be good.

Playa Seven Seas
On the southwestern shore of the peninsula of Las Cabezas, Playa Seven Seas is a sheltered, coconut-shaded horseshoe- shaped public beach. While it's not quite as pretty as Playa Luquillo, fear not – it is attractive.
On the southwestern shore of the peninsula of Las Cabezas, Playa Seven Seas is a sheltered, coconut-shaded horseshoe- shaped public beach. While it's not quite as pretty as Playa Luquillo, fear not – it is attractive.
This house and farm were once home to the godfather of the Partido Popular Democrático (PPD) and the man who shepherded Puerto Rico into commonwealth status – as well as a 20th-century industrialized market economy in the 1950s and '60s.
Built in 1843 in a neoclassical creole style and said to be an excellent example of local 17th-century domestic architecture, this house is reputedly the most continually occupied residence in the town. Its most famous resident was a 19th-century poet and patriot named Lola Rodríguez de Tió, who was exiled in the 1860s for her revolutionary activities.
On the lower end of Calle del Cristo, Parque de las Palomas is a cobblestoned courtyard shaded with trees at the top of the city wall. Paloma means 'dove' or 'pigeon' in Spanish and it's the latter variety you'll encounter here, in their hundreds. Some brave souls come here for the view it affords of Bahía de San Juan. Others just turn up to feed the pigeons.
This tiny museum , on the Strip in Esperanza, is operated by the Vieques Conservation and Historical Trust (founded in 1984 to save the island's bioluminescent bays). The museum contains exhibits on the ecological efforts of the trust, the island's natural history and its early Indian inhabitants. Donations are welcome.
Centro Cultural Angel R Ortiz is a small museum maintained by the Puerto Rican Institute of Culture. The building was once part of a network of 27 such huts that housed so-called 'road keepers' (in this case, convicts). The lodge stands on the old 'pick and shovel' road built by slaves of Spanish landowners and later maintained by black convicts over the centuries.
This long half-moon-shaped bay, less than a half mile east of Esperanza, is the island's balneario (public beach), with all the facilities you have come to expect in Puerto Rico, including a cafe (open Wednesday through Sunday). Measuring a mile in length, Sun Bay is rarely busy.
This half-forgotten fort is situated at the east end of Puerta de Tierra and was completed in 1788 to guard the entrance to Laguna del Condado (Condado Lagoon). It was barely up and running in 1797 when the British came marching through on their way to San Juan and a short-lived occupation.
A popular option is to journey from Playa Esperanza across to the nearby islet of Cayo Afuera, an uninhabited pinprick of land that is part of the Mosquito Bay Reserve.
After the MAP, this spacious pink villa designed by Juan Bertoli Calderoni, father of Puerto Rico's neoclassical style, offers Ponce's best museum experience. A guided tour showcases the development of Puerto Rico's sound, allowing hands-on demonstrations of indigenous instruments.
The nearest beach to town. Take the road past the clinic about a half mile north until you reach a development on the hill to your right. Ahead on your left, you'll see the rocky Melones point with a navigation light; to the right of the point is a stony beach. If you head down to this beach, you will find great snorkeling at both ends.
Perhaps the most grand of Ponce's historic homes, this mansion was designed by Paris-educated ponceño architect Alfredo Wiechers. The carefully preserved Victorian details – such as the multidirectional pipeworks of the ancient shower and the hand-carved bedroom furniture – speak to the grand lifestyle of its former residents.
Once the residence of a political reformer and Puerto Rico's first representative to the Spanish court, this restored 18th-century house is now the headquarters of the Conservation Trust of Puerto Rico.
Standing behind a breakwater in a cove 2 miles south of Fajardo, this is the largest marina (1100 slips) in the Caribbean. You will find a complete marina village here with restaurants, stores, laundry facilities, banking and all manner of boat-hauling and maintenance capabilities.
This small but quite engaging museum of anthropology, history and art is worth a stop to see examples of the trove of Taíno artifacts unearthed by university scholars in recent digs. In addition, this museum features revolving art shows and offers scholarly perspectives on island history.
This history museum is extensive for a city of fewer than 200,0000 people – more evidence of Ponce's reverence for history. Located in the 1911 Casa Salazar, on the same block as the Teatro La Perla, the museum has 10 galleries displaying centuries of the city's history in ecology, economy, education, architecture, medicine, politics and daily life.

It was a taste like no other. No, a sensation, that of which I had never experienced before. I bit in again, savoring each flavor as they settled on my tongue. This was the moment I knew my life had changed forever. Brought into a new light, I was never to be the same when ordering meals.
Cheeseburgers. Juicy, sloppy, and well rounded, this is the food that changed my life. I fell in love with this sumptuous meal in the eighth grade. It may seem a little late to be trying your first cheeseburger, but I had always been so enchanted with the regular hamburger to even glance at something different. I didn't necessarily have a hatred for cheeseburgers, but more an attraction to the regular hamburger. Why change my views if what I already ate was so wonderful? The moment I did stray from my norm, I was immediately captivated.
It was the fall of 2008 and I had just entered eighth grade. My two best friends Haley and Alex had accompanied me to a University of Nevada Reno football game. Haley's father, being the fan of college sports that he is, is a member of a group that gets discounts to games as well as other special treatment. One of the most important of that treatment being the pre-game meal. Dressed in our cutest Wolf Pack gear, the three of us sat down to enjoy a soda and each other's company. Soon after sitting down, a smell drifted over our way, lifting our noses high into the air.
"Cheeseburgers," Haley whispered, a glint in her eye. I started to smile, and then remembered my "hatred" for the thing I hadn't ever tried.
What will I eat? I thought to myself, becoming increasingly concerned. How could I abandon my sweet love, the hamburger? So faithful, so understanding. I hadn't strayed to this point, how could I now? But the smell, the overwhelming, intoxicating smell of beef juice and cheese cooking on a barbeque was filling my nostrils and enticing my brain.
"Guys, I've never had a cheeseburger before," I said, making sure to keep my eyes down to hide my embarrassment, studying every detail of my black ballet flats.
"WHAT! Why not?!" They yelled in unison.
"I just really like hamburgers, I never wanted to try anything else," I responded.
"You have to try one," Haley said, intently staring at me with her dark brown eyes.
"Yeah, they're like, the best," added Alex, serious for the first time since I had befriended her a year ago.
I laughed. How, after all these years, could I have missed something as delicious as they suggested it was. My advanced and complex palette was well beyond the average thirtenn year olds. There was no way I'd rejected something so love by so many people.
Or had I?
Intrigued, I decided to try one, To humor my friends, I thought.
We made our way to the line for food and waited for our turn. A medium sized slightly over cooked cheeseburger was placed on my open bun. I added tomatoes and lettuce, completing the meal.
As we headed back to our seats, my nose tingled with delight as I inhaled the smell wafting from my plate. We sat, and Alex and Haley patiently waited as I lifted the masterpiece to my mouth. I bit down, juice rolling from my lips to my chin, and tried to contain my excitement.
It was delicious.
A perfect combination and it was in my mouth. I felt the warmth of the hot burger, tasted the melted cheese. At that moment, I knew my life had changed forever.
I closed my eyes, taking another bite. When I finally opened my eyes, I was greeted by Haley and Alex's beaming faces. They had persuaded me, with great success.
"Do ya like it?" they asked, and I nodded, my mouth full of food.
We continued our meal in silence, each one of us enjoying our cheeseburger. I went home from that game enlightened, but also confused. What was it about this combination that sparked my happy brain cells to through a disco party in my pleasure center? I loved regular hamburgers, but why was this so different, so spectacular? The only that was added was cheese, how could that possibly change my outlook on burgers all together?
I pondered this question silently for the next few hours following the game, all the while asking every friend and family member I talked to how much they loved cheeseburgers. Each reaction was whole hearted and I could see the love in their eyes that accompanied their response.
So what is it about this food that opens people's minds, tingles their senses and excites their taste buds? I thought for hours, and dreamt of cheeseburgers as I slept.
Finally, I came to a conclusion: a cheeseburger is the perfect combination of every food group. If you order a regular cheeseburger at most any burger serving restaurant, you will be served a bun, a hamburger topped with melted cheese, lettuce, tomato, and sometimes onions and/or a pickle. These ingredients hit every food group. Not only that, but a cheeseburger is not what most people consider "health food." And who doesn't love greasy, unhealthy food every once in a while? But wait, it only gets better. Cheeseburgers can also be made in a more healthy way, for those who are concerned over that sort of thing.
This monumental idea changed my perspective of food completely. How many foods can hit every food group in one sandwich? Also, you would think this would mean that the food would be considered healthy. But no, not in most circumstances at least.
Once I solved the puzzle, I was greeted with pleasant satisfaction. Not quite as filling as the meal I'd had the day before, but satisfying none-the-less.
I can still taste the juice tingling my taste buds and dripping down my throat=]
. The cheese that continued to melt in my mouth, even after I'd taken a bite. The crunch of the lettuce, soothing the heat from the burger, and the juice of the tomato softening the bread just the right amount.

Hope your doing well in the North Pole. I have been very nice this year and thus deserving of the listed items below. Please let me know if you have any questions, and I'll be happy to clarify in order to prevent the elves from messing up my requests.
1) Another BAMA victory before next season: oh I know it's not going to be the bowl we Bama fans had wished for, but another win for the season would be a nice way to end a not so nice season.
2) Patience: please find me some more patience as I have to endure 365 days of hell from AU fans who pretend to be "friends" until they shove some victory grins/jokes/barbs down my throat.
3) A Bama team that can play for four quarters during every game next season. Too often this year's team was a tale of two squads, bent on playing really well for one half only to go AWOL for the other.
4) Leadership: Please find me some leaders on the next year's BAMA team who will command respect, know what they are doing (regarding postional play/roles) and get the other players to rally around them, even during the tough times during games.
5) Wrath: Please send a boat load of wrath to those naughty AU fans who stormed our beloved field singing their version of Rammer Jammer and then running through the quad repeating the act.
6) The Finishing Touch: We need our Bama team to go 1 more step past having our opponents on the ropes. We need to get that good old finishing touch back - where you put your foot on the opponent's throat and keep stepping until their head pops off.
7) Humility: Please help me to be humble when our beloved Crimson Tide gets back to work during the off season, grows into a much stronger and complete team and stomps the living hell out of the opponents they face next year.
Thanks so much for everything you do in making everyone's holiday season that mch brighter.
With peace and joy,

Airboats are back on the Ross Barnett Reservoir and so is Hydrilla. Hydrilla is a type of vegetation trying to take over parts of the reservoir. That spells trouble for the ecosystem and boaters.
Hydrilla, which looks like a beautiful lily pad with white flowers, has consumed a huge section of water near Tommy's Trading Post up on Highway 43. Birds can be seen walking across the top of them in search for food. Underneath, it's like spaghetti junction.
Howard Harris was fishing with friends and he said, "Your boat, the back end gets caught in the lily pads and you also lose a lot of hooks in the lily pad."
The fishermen like to fish near the plants. Harris said he pulled in a few, "A perch and about 10 catfish."
Hydrilla is an invasive aquatic plant species that can cause considerable damage to a lake and its ecosystem. If nothing is done to control it, the plants can choke out game fish, limit boating and provide a breeding ground for mosquitoes.
Clarence Bradfield was out on the water Wednesday and said, "It would be better if they take them out, I would say, because I love fishing."
Reservoir officials have hired a company to spray liquid herbicides on the Hydrilla. Boats were in the water at Goshen Springs boat launch Wednesday.
Concerned, Harris posed this question, "What would it do to the species out there, the fish?"
The chemicals are approved for use in the water by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Reservoir officials say boaters may soon see a distinct color change in the lotus throughout the lake. 67.7 acres will be sprayed. Imperative they say to keep the weeds from spreading and becoming a bigger problem.

I've been working on my 'backend' setup for awhile, the last few weeks I've basically just been letting things go to see how stable they are — as far as I can tell they've been great. I'm planning on a post or two detailing some of my experiences running my own VPS with digital ocean, and what I miss from shared hosting. For instance, I took email for granted. I'm still not sure if my SIMPLE AND BASIC forward (neo@kupatrix) works or not; I've been running into an issue with gmail auto-flagging system emails from my backend as spam

Slider Quirkiness
I've been working with Catch Box, this theme I found on the wordpress theme directory, and so far I've been really impressed, it's not too difficult to modify to suit my needs, but I just wanted to post about some quirkiness in relation to the slider: It actually changes height depending on the length of the excerpt. This happens to push content down, or pull it up, depending on which slide is being shown. Sort of annoying, eh? How did I fix it? Added the following to the CSS:
#slider {max-height:280px!important;width:auto;} #slider a {display:block!important;}

Albert Fish
Finding Gracie
That day, the police went to Wisteria Cottage and recovered the remains of Gracie. Albert Fish stood nearby, completely without emotion of any kind.
That night at 10 P.M. Fish was interrogated by Asst. District Attorney P. Francis Marro. When Marro asked Fish why he had murdered Gracie, he explained that "a sort of blood thirst" had overwhelmed him. Once it was done, he was overcome with sorrow. "I would have given my life within a half-hour after I done it to restore it to her."
Marro asked if he had raped Gracie and Fish was adamant: "It never entered my head."
Nothing was asked at that time nor was anything volunteered about the cannibalism mentioned in Fish's letter to the Budds. The police may have considered it too insane to be true. Or, perhaps, they were already thinking that including horrible details about cannibalism would bolster the inevitable defense case for insanity.
That night the capture of Albert Fish had leaked to the newspapers and reporters descended on the Budd apartment with the news. Shortly afterwards, Det. King drove Mr. Budd and his son Edward to the police station to identify Fish.
Edward did more than identify Fish. He threw himself at the old man. "You old bastard! Dirty son of a bitch!"
Mr. Budd was surprised at Fish's lack of emotion. "Don't you know me?" he asked the old man.
"Yes," Fish answered politely. "You're Mr. Budd."
"And you're the man who came to my home as a guest and took my little girl away," he said in tears.

Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) June 18, 2013
Is Matt Yglesias' reputation for douchebaggery underestimated? You be the judge.
This afternoon, the Slate economics writer and crackerjack lefty offered up this profound musing on Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal:
Is Bobby Jindal's reputation for intelligence anything other than ethnic stereotyping?—
Matt Yglesias (@mattyglesias) June 18, 2013
If we tried, we couldn't possibly dream up something that illustrative of the leftist mindset when it comes to non-white conservatives. It's stunning. Truly:
My God, this is racist. twitter.com/mattyglesias/s…—
John Ekdahl, Jr. (@JohnEkdahl) June 18, 2013
Of course, Yglesias can't stand being called out on his blatant bigotry:
Oh, fun. Conservative twitter is in bogus outrage mode.—
Matt Yglesias (@mattyglesias) June 18, 2013
So taking offense at the idea that Jindal is only seen as smart because of his ethnicity is "bogus outrage"?
"Bogus outrage" over you questioning the intelligence of Bobby Jindal based on a stereotype. I thought libs didn't do that.. @mattyglesias—
Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) June 18, 2013
I see. @MattYglesias asserts the outrage over his suggestion that Jindal is only thought of as smart because of his ethnicity is "bogus."—

And the best part? Mr. Smartypants himself was forced to admit that he knew diddly-squat about Jindal before spewing his garbage:

For the record, now that I know more about Jindal's life it's clear that he's a very smart man who just says lots of very dumb stuff.—

@seanmdav Have you read my followup tweets where I conceded this point? I didn't know. Now I know. He's a smart guy.—
Matt Yglesias (@mattyglesias) June 18, 2013
@bmorrett Backtracking quite a bit! Jindal turns out to have really impressive educational credentials.—
Matt Yglesias (@mattyglesias) June 18, 2013
Yeah. Good thing his follow-up "research" told him that it's possible that Jindal is, in fact, an intelligent man.
@acharya_dude Lots of white conservatives are eager to tell me otherwise!—
Matt Yglesias (@mattyglesias) June 18, 2013
But of course. Somehow, the dustup he's found himself in is white conservatives' fault.
@BDayspring LOL.—
Matt Yglesias (@mattyglesias) June 18, 2013
@JeffYoung But I would have missed out on this hilarious opportunity to witness conservatives not understanding what racism is.—
Matt Yglesias (@mattyglesias) June 18, 2013
Shut your pie-hole, Matt, and take a seat. School is in session:

HALF-TIME REPORT: Deeney gives Watford lead against Birmingham (From This Is Local London)

Troy Deeney's strike gives Watford 1-0 half-time lead against Birmingham City in the Championship
Updated 8:51pm Tuesday 11th February 2014 in Latest Sport By Tom Allnutt
Troy Deeney has scored against his boyhood club Birmingham City to give Watford a 1-0 half-time lead at Vicarage Road in the Championship.
A scrappy and uninspiring half of football yielded few chances with both sides struggling to establish any consistent spells of possession.
Paul Caddis went closest for Birmingham, clattering the woodwork with a long-range effort but the visitors were otherwise largely toothless in attack.
The Hornets weren't much better but the decisive moment in the half came after 33 minutes when Deeney played the ball to Fernando Forestieri who drove to the line and pulled the ball back to his strike partner who had continued his run.
Deeney, inside the area, completely missed the ball with his first effort but he still had time to regain his balance and unleash a second shot which deflected past Darren Randolph and into the net.
Watford have been ahead but failed to win three times in the past four matches and will be hoping to reverse that trend and hold on to a much-needed three points.

Completing her degree, Maria has now begun life as a postgraduate student, working towards an Engineering Doctorate at the University of Bristol.
Well done to Spain! I watched the first few World Cup matches as "studying breaks" and the final matches as an engineering graduate! I received my final university results in early July and was very happy with them and now I have to wait for my actual graduation ceremony, which is going to be held in December.
I mentioned in an earlier entry that I was planning to do a postgraduate course once I finished my undergraduate one. I applied to start an EngD (Engineering Doctorate) at the University of Bristol and received a conditional acceptance in the spring. Once I sent the university my final results the acceptance became unconditional - so I'm off to Bristol in October to start the four year course.
The topic is Non-Destructive Evaluation and I will keep you updated as I progress. I am very excited and keen to start the course and am looking forward to the mix of academic and industrial work that it entails.
What have I been doing this summer? At the end of June I met up with my classmates several times and we celebrated the relief of completing our dissertations and final exams. We also held an exhibition for the public to view our dissertations, better known as our final year projects.
Since I knew I would be starting another four year degree less than four months after finishing the first one, I thought it would be a good idea to completely relax this summer. I visited friends and relatives in Glasgow, Isle of Skye, Surrey, Devon and Hampshire over two and a half weeks, which was great fun and I got to see many new places.
I also spent two weekends with friends on Malta's sister island, Gozo, which as always is very relaxing. My friends and me also became tour guides for a visiting pal. We explored the Mnajdra and Hagar Qim Temples, which are Unesco World Heritage Sites and are over 5000 years old. They are engineering and architectural masterpieces and so are the protective tents that were erected over them very recently!
In the beginning of September I attended the "house search event" for postgraduate students at the University of Bristol. I found great housemates and a great house in Clifton so it was definitely a success. I fell in love with Bristol. It is a wonderful city and has a lot of engineering connections. It is home to two significant works of the famous 19th century British civil engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, namely the Clifton Suspension Bridge and the SS Great Britain.
The SS Great Britain was the first propeller-driven ocean-going iron ship and when it was built was the largest ship ever. The suspension bridge spans over 210m and had the longest span of any bridge when it was constructed. It spans the Avon Gorge and links Clifton in Bristol to Leigh Woods in North Somerset. Brunel also engineered the Great Western Railway, which linked London to the South West, the west of England and most of Wales. Concorde was also developed and constructed just north of Bristol in a town called Filton - more about that next time!
