SAN ANTONIO (AP) - Tony Parker had 15 points and a career playoff-high 18 assists, Tim Duncan scored San Antonio's first six points of overtime and the Spurs bounced back after squandering a 13-point lead in the fourth quarter to beat the Memphis Grizzlies 93-89 on Tuesday night.
The Spurs took a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference finals with Game 3 on Saturday in Memphis.
Duncan opened the extra period with a layup, then made a tiebreaking putback on Parker's missed jumper before making a runner that bounced high of the back iron and rattled in for a 91-87 lead with 1:08 to play.
The Grizzlies had a chance to tie after Jerryd Bayless hit a jumper and Parker missed one of two free throws with 14.6 seconds left, but Bayless' 3-pointer from the left wing was off-target.

text: It was almost evening when Jim got home from work. His wife's car was in the garage but she was nowhere in sight. As Jim laid down his brief case the phone rang. "Mr. Jim Hall, we have your wife and if you want her back you will do as you are told. Do you understand?" Jim answered yes. "Go to your mailbox and look inside for further instructions," said the male voice at the other end of the line. " I will but you better not hurt her," Jim said and hung it up after hearing the other person hang up. "We don't want your money, we want your obedience" yelled the man. After several exchanges like that Jim gave in and stated he would do what ever they asked. "Tell us where you want it first you slut," shouted the man. Jim figured that perhaps if they came in his mouth they would be satisfied and would leave him alone. "I'll. take it ..in my..my mouth" whimpered Jim. Jim was dressed. The men dressed and continued toward their destination. On the way, Jim had to describe in every detail how he had sex with his wife, what he liked and what she liked. Jim had to describe what his wife didn't like (giving head and taking it in the ass as well as having others look on). Before getting to the farm the men took turns sucking Jim's dick. Jim was ordered to cum before they arrived at their final destination that they said would be soon. Jim had to concentrate to imagine something that would turn him on enough to forget another man was sucking his dick. Jim imagined a rape he had recently committed on a woman and her daughter. Jim was soon aroused and had a hard on. " I knew you were gay," said the man not sucking dick. The other man sucked Jim's dick with a passion and massaged Jim's balls as he did. "I'm cumming," wailed Jim and began to squirt cum into the man's mouth that was positioned on him. The man swallowed every drop exiting Jim's dick but kept sucking way after Jim finished cumming into his orifice. This was very uncomfortable. And before retreating from Jim's shaft gave it a mild bite! "Just in time to see your wife," said one man. They had arrived at their destination. Jim was lead out of the van into the large looking building. It was then that Jim noticed camera's had been strategically located inside the van to record the whole episode. It was also the first time Jim got a look at the driver of the van. He was as tall and as wide as Andre the giant. "Thank God he didn't assault me," thought Jim as he walked inside of the building. Part TwoCarole was made to walk naked past a gauntlet of men all naked and with their dicks erect in anticipation. She was told to make a run for it. Carole ran but was soon tackled by two men. They quickly filled her pussy and ass with their dicks and pumped without mercy until they came. Then the rest of the men took turns fucking her mouth, ass, and pussy. Some pumped sperm on her face, breast, ears, eyes, nose and hair! All of them seem black to her but some started speaking to her in Spanish. "Tell me you like it Puta in Spanish and say more from your own imagination too," demanded one Latin man. Carole knew she had to obey or be hurt. "Dame becho grande and me gusta mucho papi," said Carole ("Give me big dick, I like it a lot"). "Metemelo haste el fundo de me chocha y culo y boca, usame como una puta que soy" she retorted (Stick it ot me until the very end of my Pussy, Ass, and Mouth). The Spanish speaking men loved it when she talked that way and made her do it for the whole time they used and abused her.

Sarah Krieger spent Monday cooking meals for the next few days and her technique is saving her family hundreds each year.
"Unfortunately people don't plan their meals," said Krieger, who is a registered dietician and spokeswoman for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. "In the morning: I want to know what I'm eating for dinner that day."
Krieger, who has many clients on a budget, often suggests several ways families can save money while eating healthy this new year.
"When you plan ahead - you're going to win - you're not going to be eating at a restaurant or quick-service," she said.
Krieger, who is a mother of three, plans her trips to the grocery store. When it comes to buying meat, she said shopping around before you make it into the store is the way to go.
"Buy what's on sale because that's really where you can start to save some money," she said as she prepared a fresh meal of fish and stuffed peppers in her kitchen. "As far as fruits as vegetables - all these things I have here - are local."
Krieger found a huge bag of peppers at a local fruit and produce stand for $1, about 75 percent less than what she would've paid for it normally. She said, despite some people's misconceptions that these stores are pricey, she finds deals at them all the time; especially now.
"It's a great time of year," she said. "December to July is our time of the year. Buy local as much as possible because it doesn't have to take that expensive plane ride from other parts of the World to get here."
Krieger suggests that you know your neighborhood and your commute and find a market you pass everyday on your way to work or school.
"These mom and pop fruitstands … they have connections to Plant City, Ruskin and Miami," she said. "So we want to re-enforce that because A) it'll be less cost to us B) the nutrition will be higher."
She says learning closing time at these local stands can pay off as well.
"If you got there before they're closing for the day … sometimes they'll mark things down."

What if I want to attend the Summer Intensive Language Program (SILP), English Preparation for Graduate Studies (EPGS), or English Preparation for Translation and Interpretation (EPTI) but am not selected as a Betty and David Jones Scholarship recipient?
You will need to submit a separate application to the SILP, EPGS, or EPTI program. Please see our language programs for more information on the application process for these programs.
Are scholarships available to cover the tuition and fees of my summer program?
Yes, funding for EPGS students may be available through the Betty & David Jones Language Scholarship. To be eligible for the scholarship, candidates must be admitted to a degree program in International Policy Studies, International Environmental Policy, Public Administration, Nonproliferation and Terrorism Studies, Bachelor of Arts in International Studies, International Business (MBA), or Teaching Foreign Language, for fall 2014 at the Monterey Institute of International Studies.
Do I need to apply for this program? / How can I apply for this program?
If you have already applied to a Masters program at the Monterey Institute, no additional application is necessary. However, students who have been required to attend EPGS must complete three items no later than May 1, 2014 to indicate they plan to come to the summer program:
Who can I contact for more information about EPGS?
|Intensive English Programs
|460 Pierce Street
|Monterey, CA 93940 USA
What are the program dates for 2014 & how much does the program cost?
EPGS will run June 30 - August 8, 2014. Tuition and fees for 2014 total $3,675.00. ($3900.00 for Translation & Interpretation students.) All students must also show proof of health insurance coverage. If you do not have your own Insurance policy, you can purchase coverage through the Monterey Institute. These fees do not include living expenses.
Is there an exam that I am required to pass at the end of this program?
While there is not a formal exit exam in EPGS, all students must successfully complete their summer English program by receiving passing grades in all of their classes and by meeting attendance requirements.
What is the weekly EPGS schedule like?
EPGS is a rigorous program which aims to prepare students for their graduate-level coursework. Students attend English content and skills classes 5 hours each day. These classes are designed to hone the language skills you specifically need to succeed in graduate programs and focus on English for Academic Purposes. You will work on reading and listening strategies, note-taking, research and report writing, and public speaking. You will also meet weekly with a writing tutor for personalized feedback on your assignments.
I applied as a graduate student at the Monterey Institute. Why have I been asked to attend EPGS?
In most cases, the results of your TOEFL or IELTS exam indicate that your English language skills need additional improvement in order for you to succeed in our rigorous master's programs. The admissions committee has decided that you could benefit from more English language exposure and instruction. Successful completion of the EPGS program is a pre-requisite to admission into your graduate school program.
What is the purpose of this program?
The six-week summer intensive English Preparation for Graduate Studies (EPGS) program provides advanced language enhancement courses in English for Academic Purposes customized for students who have been admitted to Master's degree programs. This unique, intensive program has two main goals: to give students the language skills and strategies necessary to succeed in an American graduate degree program, and to acclimate participants to graduate student life.

Great atmosphere. I started going to P.Y.T in the summer and I go all the time when I am going out to eat. If you want a great burger go there. Every week they feature a burger of the week. The lobster burger is great! I love the milk shakes never got the adult milk shakes but I always get the black and white virgin milkshake which I really love. If you like burgers go here!

Came here with three girlfriends after seeing PYT on the Rachael Ray Show & it is fabulous! Our new fave spot! Burgers? Juicy & big. Servers? Adorable. Bartenders? Hot.
Posted by Jennifer K. on 01/26/2010
I came here during the summer when PYT first opened & it was sooo busy with all of the summery outdoor seating that we didn't really see the point of jumping into the madness. Upon a return to the Piazza in early january of a Friday night, PYT was still busy but much more our scene. The server was efficient and very friendly and our food was so tasty! I recommend the Fat Boy Monster burger (two patties topped with onion rings) or the TLC burger (chicken, bacon & special sauce). The boozy milkshakes are a perfect dessert,

i've now given this new nolibs hotspot several chances and it has only gotten worse. my last visit, this past saturday, had my girlfriend and i experience an hour and a half wait for out burgers. our server was rude and unapologetic, blaming the management for not knowing how to run a restaurant. it was pretty busy , but there was no excuse for our experience.

SPOKANE, Wash – A Spokane woman was shot in the face Monday, allegedly by her boyfriend. While she is expected to survive, it's a story that hits too close to home for Sarah Muter of Euphrates, Washington.
Muter knows the shooting victim, and was shocked to hear she'd been shot. Especially since her own mother was shot in the face allegedly by her husband nearly one year ago.
"I love her, and I really wish she was still here," Muter told KHQ. "There's not a day that goes by that it doesn't kill me, thinking about what he did."
Muter's mother, Bobbie Thompson, had lived in Spokane for about 10 years, before moving out east with her new husband, James (Jim) Thompson.
"She loved Jim more than anyone I ever knew," Muter recalled.
She says there was never any sign of physical abuse in the relationship. But toward the end, the couple was fighting over the health care needs of a live-in relative. Mutzer says they were drinking on the night of October 21, 2011. Her mother died of a gunshot to the face, and when police arrived they found Jim Thompson huddled over her. He was arrested for her murder, and remains in jail to this day without bond, awaiting trial.
"My mom didn't make it more than 5 minutes after the shot," Mutzer said.
With the one-year anniversary of her mother's passing coming up, Mutzer's mind was already on domestic violence.
Then, Tuesday morning, she learned about her friend in Spokane also being shot in the face.
"Just seeing that another person that I know has basically sustained the same wounds, it just brought all of these things back," Mutzer said. "I know she's okay, and she's going to pull through. I'm just so glad she's okay."
Her message is for all women: if you're in an abusive relationship, get out. There are crisis lines, shelters and resources available.
"Abuse comes in so many forms, it's not just physical abuse, and so many people make the mistake of thinking that it has to be physical for it to be abuse, but my mom – there was no history of physical abuse there, and look what happened to her," she said.
And Sarah Mutzer says, if you think something bad can't happen to you, you're wrong.
"People don't understand that it's an every day basis, and there's hundreds of thousands of women who never come forward with it," she added. "My mom was one of the unlucky ones who lost their life because of that situation, and I think more women need to be aware that it can happen to anybody."
Her mom is now with her every day – in spirit, and also in a tattoo prominently on Mutzer's arm. But she would give anything to have her back.
"I know there's a higher power he has to answer to eventually," she said. "And whether that's man's law or God's law, I know he'll get what he deserves, no matter what."
Jim Thompson has entered a not guilty plea, and is awaiting trial for the murder of Bobbi Thompson.

In ordinary discourse we dont encounter all three categories of communication in their pure form. Normally, peoples communication makes use of all sorts of strategies at once. This is also true of arguments, where propositions that are intended to convey information may be phrased in a manner designed to evoke emotion and the entire thing leads to a directive some order that is supposed to follow from accepting the argument in question.
Being able to separate emotional and informational language is a key component of understanding and evaluating an argument. It isnt unusual for the lack of substantive reasons for accepting the truth of a conclusion to be masked by the use of emotional terminology sometimes deliberately, sometimes not.
Deliberate use of emotional language can be seen in many political speeches and commercial advertisements these are carefully constructed to get people to share an emotional reaction to something. In casual conversation, emotional language is likely less deliberate because the expression of emotion is a natural aspect of how we communicate with one another. Almost no one constructs normal arguments in a purely logical form. There is nothing inherently wrong with that, but it complicates the analysis of an argument.
Regardless of the motive, extracting the emotional language to leave just the raw propositions and inferences is important to ensure that you evaluate the right things. Sometimes we have to be careful because even a single word can have a literal meaning which is entirely neutral and fair, but which also carries emotional impact that affects how a person will react.
Consider, for example, the terms bureaucrat and public servant both can be used to describe the same position and both have neutral meanings in their most literal sense. The first, however, will often arouse resentment while the latter sounds far more honorable and positive. Only the term government official can sound truly neutral and lacking in either positive or negative impact (for the time being, at least).
If you want to argue well and do a good job at evaluating the arguments of others, you need to learn how to use language well. The better you are at structuring your thoughts and ideas, the better you will be able to understand them. That, in turn, will enable you to express them in a variety of ways (helping others understand you) as well as allow you to be able to identify flaws which need to be fixed. This is where skills with logic and critical reasoning come in but notice that skills with language come first.

There are other steps that can be taken to reduce the burden on the court system and help reduce conflict between separating couples, not least by making the divorce process less complex or confrontational by introducing no-fault divorce or making pre-nuptial agreements binding. But removing access to legal advice and providing minimal support will help solve neither.
There has been much in the press recently regarding how much barristers can expect to receive from their criminal work - many figures of which I feel are totally misleading. The best way to illustrate this is with a personal example which shows that in the line of duty many barristers work for very little, or even nothing at all.
I fully understand why some in the legal profession feel bruised or worry about how our reforms might affect them. However the government and the legal profession must work together to create a legal aid system that protects those who need it most whilst also commanding the confidence of taxpayers who fund it. Put simply, we want to ensure the limited money we have available for legal aid is concentrated on those cases where it is needed most. Our proposals would ensure a system sustainable and affordable for future generations, and it will remain one of the most generous in the world.
The Russian authorities, it appears, are fighting an internal 'Cold War'. It's a war of attrition and containment that has seen civil society attacked through the introduction of legislation aimed to restrict their activities... This onslaught on human rights shows no signs of abating and it's time the international community took this seriously.
There is nothing worse than being accused of something you didn't do. Well, there is. Being convicted of something you didn't do. But if members of the police force, left-leaning commentators and senior lawyers are to be believed, the worst thing right now is to be identified as a potential wrong-doer.
Shared parenting means giving both parents (and sometimes more than two parents, for example in three parent families) the opportunity to have an equal role in their child's life. Very importantly, that does not mean shared residence in the 50/50 sense, which tends to afford both parents generous overnight contact with their child.
It was a death threat, sent by text to the mobile telephone of a lawyer in Colombia, South America. The message, translated from the Spanish and sanitised for the firewalls, said: "Hi, b*stard dogs. You have already done your bit, now it's our turn. Get all those b*stards together for your and your buddies' funerals. But calm down - we will send you a nice bunch of flowers."

The release of the album came as a surprise, as Harris managed to keep its creation under wraps until just before it hit stores. The songwriting core for the album was Harris, vocalist Richard Taylor and guitarist David Hawkins. Other musicians contributing to British Lion include guitarists Grahame Leslie and Barry Fitzgibbon along with drummers Simon Dawson, Ian Roberts and Richard Cook.
The sound of British Lion is nothing like Iron Maiden. It has a classic rock/hard rock vibe. It opens strong with "This Is My God," a driving and diverse track. "Lost Worlds" has a promising beginning before petering out with an acoustic ending. Things bounce back with the standout song "Karma Killer." Harris' bass is turned up loud throughout the album, which he co-produced.
The songwriting on British Lion is straightforward without being simple. The songs are groovy and catchy, much more Thin Lizzy and UFO than Iron Maiden. "Us Against The World" does have some of that Maiden guitar sound at the beginning before mellowing out. Taylor doesn't have a ton of power in his voice, but sings with a lot of texture and emotion.
The songs are very hit and miss. While several tracks hold their own (" A World Without Heaven," "Eyes Of The Young") there are a couple that are nothing but filler. The shadow of Iron Maiden looms large over any member's side project, and with musicians the caliber of Bruce Dickinson and company, it's a difficult shadow to get out from under.
Harris made a wise decision taking the musical direction of British Lion away from Maiden, and it is a solid '70s style hard rock effort. If that's your cup of tea, you'll enjoy what they've done.

Wolfgang Peter Ludwig broke ground on September 13th, 1977, on the company that now bears his name. He immigrated to the United States just 10 years before in 1967, with his wife Ursel and two young boys. He came driven by big dreams of America at the young age of 21, a German meat apprentice who learned his trade in a small Black Forest town near Baden-Baden, Germany. He used his knowledge and intense interest in meat processing to begin his journey into the unknown US market. After a decade of learning the language while working for processors and suppliers in America, he felt it was time to begin another journey. This journey began with 1-man and a dream of becoming a leading company, able to provide his customers with products and services that were better then they had ever experienced before.
The background and passion of our founder and his sons is, and remains, meat processing. When one has passion for something, it induces excitement, creativity, commitment, and most of all, innovation. Simply put, one is always thinking, how can it be done better? This innovation is evident in the numerous patents, industry awards and customer awards which Wolf-tec has received. Our continued growth and success is based on these important principles and our owners' philosophy. View our recent 25 year supplement as seen in MM&T Magazine.
Wolf Ludwig in 1962 (18) before his journey to America. Founder and Chairman
Today, we remain driven to be the best. This goal is evident in all of our facilities, our people, and in the products and technologies that we offer. Although our success began in North America, we have quickly become recognized as an innovation and service company throughout the world with installations in Latin America, Asia, Europe, New Zealand, and Australia.
In 1984, his sons Ralf and Peter returned to the U.S. after several years of education and training as machine builders in Europe. Their formal education was in the German cities of Kiel (North of Hamburg) and Esslingen am Nectar (Outside of Stuttgart), while further post school training was carried out at some of Europe's most well known meat industry manufacturers in Germany and Switzerland.
Over nearly three decades, our founders dream has evolved from a single man with entrepreneurial spirit into a world renowned enterprise. We have become one of the most recognized companies in the world with subsidiaries and affiliates totaling a combined employee staff of over 165 people to service our customers.
In 2002 we established business ventures in South America to insure optimum support capabilities for this important market sector. In 2004 we strengthened our global position further by becoming share holders in SCHRÖDER MASCHINENBAU KG of Germany.

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by Rex, Feb 21, 2012.
Hitler's Love Child
Wow. Who'd want to claim this? Discuss.
All I can think for right now to say is ewwww...... I hope this is another hoax for the sake of the deceased Mr Loret's family.
Yikes! That poor family, if it's true.
Hitler does have living relatives. I say DNA test or it didn't happen.
Though the paintings are certainly interesting as the average Frenchwoman did not have Hitler's watercolors stashed in her attic. The stories, eh, and the blood type's meaningless (it's not do you have the SAME blood type, it's is your blood type compatible with the alleged parent's.)
It would certainly put to rest the speculation about Hilter being unable/unwilling to perform...though that was before he got gassed in the trenches.
This is the first time I've heard that Hitler was allegedly impotent. I thought he and Eva Braun were long-time lovers before they married near the end of their lives. But what do I know?
I'd like to see the pics of this son.
Hmmm, what do you all think?
You don't choose your parents, but you do choose your actions. Mr. Loret fought against the Nazis and even joined the Resistance in France. Based on these articles, he doesn't sound like he was a genocidal warmonger. I mean, yes, it's terrible to be related (or a direct descendant) to the most infamous criminal of the 20th Century, and he sounds like he was depressed about it, but "evil" is not inherited from DNA, you know?
Speaking of DNA, though, I'd love to see the results of any tests!
I agree, Orable. I do think it's interesting, though, that the rest of his closest relatives (cousins? half-brothers? I can't recall....) made a pact to never marry, nor have children.
He looks like the FedEx man who comes to my work sometimes.
I say DNA test - but it really won't matter, Hitler did have relatives, I think his sister died in the 50s or even later so who really cares if he had a child during WWI.
He was a beautiful painter, too bad the art school didn't accept him, I wonder how history would have been different?
I remember reading somewhere that his brothers (or nephews?) agreed not to have any children, just to reduce the chance of having another like Adolf...is this true?
I don't think anyone is arguing that point of view. What did I miss?
Only one of Hitler's siblings lived to adulthood, there are no direct decentents from Hitler's parents. But there are some from his half siblings -
There is a lot written about them...
David Gardner's book The Last of the Hitlers (2001)
Just responding to the ewwws and yikes and poor guy reactions.
I don't think any of that assumes he's evil or passing along Evil Genes. Just 'who would want to be Hitler's son?" His own relatives changed their name to avoid being associated with him. (And I think the lawyer musing about this man's heirs being entitled to royalties from Mein Kampf is just a bit tacky.)
And to the issue of Hitler...um...well, not performing, there was definitely some question about what he did or didn't do with Eva (he did specifically NOT want to be married or seen as taken, let alone have children, as he wanted to create the impression of being 'married to the fatherland') and of course there were the usual kind of stories that get told about enemy leaders. (And apparently the Russian autopsy doctors DID look to see if Hilter, in fact, had only got one...um..can I say that on FSU?)
I think that he should had shaved off the mustache.
In some cases it is so much better when the apple falls as further as possible from the tree.
You're kidding, right?
I had heard that Hitler painted before. But, I was never inspired to try and see what his artwork looked like. I just did. It is chilling that such bucolic paintings could come from such a hideous mind. Some of them are amateurish, but some are quite good. But, it repulses me to think anything he did was good. It is so disturbing to look at his paintings, I rather wish I hadn't.
Yes, this. It would be a pretty hard thing to have that in the family.
As an art history major in college, I had a prof who showed us architectural city paintings by Hitler. His point was that although well done, they had NO PEOPLE in them. Hitler just ignored the one thing the cities were built for. At least, that's what the prof told us. Kind of creepy....
So I think you can say it on FSU. Btw...I did not know this.
I've always wondered if there is a "correct" side to the nature vs nurture debate.
I have seen many city paintings with no people in it at all. I don't think they're creepy or disturbing or say anything much about the painters...
There is compelling evidence that crime does have a biological component - twin studies, adoption studies and studies on hormones and neurotransmitters have found that there is a genetic predisposition to criminality. And a theory called Evolutionary Neuroandrogenic (ENA) theory identifies twelve biological correlates of criminal behavior.
Of course, crime also has an environmental component, which is arguably strong, but in the extreme cases of Hitler and other psychopaths, I wonder if there isn't something seriously wrong their wiring. Could a loving, happy home have prevented Hilter from becoming Hitler?
If DNA proved that I was his grandchild I'd be horrified and perhaps terrified to procreate. And I don't know if I could accept any of the proceedings from Hitler's book.
As I like to think, genes are the potential, the environment does the rest. It's a rare person with such whacked-out genes that no supportive and loving environment can fix them, but I bet it does happen. IIRC one of the Columbine shooters was like this.
Many historian say it's highly doubtful. But who knows ?
This. I don't know when these photos were taken. If it was before Loret knew he might be Hitler's son, the coincidence is weird (except if it was a fashion shared by many at the time). If it was after, why choosing to trim one's facial hair in such a distinctive pattern ??
The point was that none of Hitler's paintings have people in them.
Well, there is one with a man sitting on a bridge. It is assumed to be a self portrait, though. There is an X above the man's head and the letters AH next to it.
Actually there are people in many of his paintings. Holley Colmes' art professor was wrong.
The architectural paintings are some of the better ones. The perspective is very good. Again, feeling creepy about saying something this evil monster did was good.
He could have gone another way. He could have been good. He made the choice.
I think his paintings look depressing, he had good technique but there is no real happiness there. There are people in some of them but they don't interact or look happy. The buildings are the focus.
If they are architectural paintings, the buildings are supposed to be the focus.
It's important to remember that he couldn't have perpetrated everything he did before the invasions and the war without the help of hundreds if not thousands of people. I think the desire to portray Hitler as almost inhuman is motivated by a need to separate him from "us."
I was thinking of another word, a la the song, as in "Hitler has only got one..." It has to rhyme with small.
And I think the art professor is being a bit ridiculous. Did he also think Winston Churchill hated cities as he mostly painted landscapes? There's an art show for you, the Churchill versus Hitler watercolor smackdown. (I think the summation is probably "they were both better off going into politics.")
Have you seen environmental design students show their work? It's just like that - there are people to show scale, but they're only portrayed to have rudimentary interaction with each other. The building IS the focus.
I'm quite sure none of them will grow up to dictators that kill millions of people because there are no people in their work.
It is as it always is - nothing is ever black and white when it comes to human beings. I feel quite comfortable in saying that Hitler was a great architectural artist and an evil bastard.
That's what some art scholars do.
Separate names with a comma.

Record session helps out charity
5:30pm Tuesday 29th January 2013 in News
A RECORDING session by some top jazz musicians helped raise £180 for the Alzheimer's Society.
Phil Probert, from Colwall, gathered together his "Jazzmates" Vo Fletcher, Dayne Cranenburgh and Martin Emeny to record a CD in the Colwall Park Hotel.
The quartet originally joined forces for a one-off gig back in 2011 and decided to reunite and record together "for the fun of it".
They opened the session up and attracted an audience of almost 100 people, who gave generously to a bucket collection.
As well as the enthusiastic crowd, they were also joined by some notable guest musicians for certain numbers – including Ric Sanders, of group Fairport Convention.
Iain Nesbitt, owner of the Colwall Park Hotel, said: "They decided to record warts 'n' all to a live audience, because they feel that's what they're in business to do. A great time was had by all."

Unfortunately the Cubs offense has failed to make use of the good performance by the pen, going 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position and leaving five men on base through the last six innings. Tyler Colvin has provided the only offense as he hit a pinch hit solo home run in the bottom of the fifth inning.
The Cubs have three innings to mount a comeback, as their lack of clutch hitting still has them down by four.

To this point in the very young season Derrick Rose has been more than I thought he would be. His scoring average is up, his 2-point FG% is about normal and he is finding his 3-point stroke. Even more impressive is that the 6 assists per game guys is currently at 8.5 per game; and that is after the recent Deng/Gibson brick fest to start the circus trip. His defense is definitely improved (though still a work in progress) and above all else his leadership is off the charts. Only Coach Thibodeau is consistently louder on the court. Frankly I never thought it was possible for Derrick to be such a vocal figure. But he cannot limit his talking to his teammates.
There is another audience his voice must reach and perhaps this audience is the most important one of all; the officials. 25.2 points a game on 20.6 shots is pretty good for a guy who cannot buy a call from the officials (and if buying a call is possible then I... nevermind.) It takes hard falls and bloody noses in order for Derrick to get the calls he should be getting regularly. There is the notion that Rose 'avoids contact', something I steadfastly disagree with. I think their is a difference between trying to make your shot and trying not to be touched. And even if there is some truth to that notion, what incentive is their for him to go for contact when he does not get the most obvious foul calls? This team is dead on their feet if they lose Rose to a serious injury. So the only hit Derrick needs to take right now a blow to his wallet.
He won't feel much of a hit from it. He may not have his max contract yet but number 1 pick rookie money is not bad, not to mention the endorsements he is slowly stockpiling. So now is the time to speak out. It is time he talks to the media the first chance he gets. I am not asking him to come out and say it at random, but I am sure he gets asked about the lack of respect regularly. I know the Chicago media wants him to get it. So when next asked, he can make it simple. He does not have to be Rasheed about it. He just needs to let everyone know that he is taking these shots and not getting calls and he is tired of it. Then let the monkeys at ESPN do the rest. $25,000 fine from Stern? Take it. I know it is not my money and perhaps I have not the right to tell a young millionaire what to do with it. But I am a fan and this is what fans do. We are obnoxious know-it-alls.
Come on, Derrick Rose. Channel your inner Phil Jackson and let loose some back-handed compliment to let the refs know they need to get you some respect. It may not be your style, but the difference between 25 a game and 28 a game could add up to a few more wins... and a few more MVP votes.

Ha! Got you fuckers with the title, didn't I? *High fives Kid Nate
I'm moonlighting here for a bit because even though the site I write for, Kelvin Hunt's freaking fantastic MMAForReal.com, is a baller website we don't see nearly as much controversy as Bloody Elbow. I'm familiar with the turf here and I'm more than willing to piss in your Cheerios because it ain't my website.
Yesterday Luke Thomas posted his thoughts on Dana White blatantly lying to the media about Rich Franklin replacing Tito Ortiz on The Ultimate Fighter. I whole-heartedly agree with Luke when he says such action "…undermines and erodes the foundation of honesty that guides the relationship between media and organization."
A lot of people commented on that post asking, why care? I'll tell you why I care. Being lied to sucks in general, but as a journalist it undercuts your ability to do your job. Let me share an anecdote.
Three years ago I got a paid internship with a medium-sized newspaper. This wasn't me filing papers and making coffee; I covered stories alongside AP and CNN reporters, had front page lead stories, and even interviewed the Reverend Joseph Lowry, the Civil Rights leader who you might remember as the "Let yellow be mellow" guy who gave the benediction at President Obama's inauguration. I didn't fuck around.
One day I get a note about the annual Republican fundraiser for the year held by the County Board of Republicans. I sent an email to the chairman to get some info that I could run in a community brief. About two weeks out from the fundraiser he emails me back, saying our governor, Sonny Perdue, would be speaking at the fundraiser. This is a big story for the county and would merit more than just a community brief, so I set aside an entire day to stand in sweltering heat with wealthy old people talking bullshit politics. Guess what? The governor was never going to be there and everyone who received the invitations to the event (sent to registered Republicans two days after the chairman emailed me) never had reason to believe he would. I was used in order to up the press coverage of the event.
Should I have checked with the governor's office? Of course, but I was 17 and naïve. It fucking sucks being lied to when your job, your job, is to tell the truth. After that situation I became the Keith Olbermann of Walton County with my Op-Eds over the next three months; it was the only retaliation I had.
Dana White feels he can use this media however he wants to because they desperately need him more than he needs them. And that's true to a certain extent. But what happens if MMA gets to the point when a title fight is the lead story on SportsCenter? That shit won't fly. And if he tries it, you can be damn sure ESPN will back up their reporters just like when Tom Rinaldi gets the scoop on a locker room brawl. It will hurt MMA, because the UFC is MMA and Dana White has positioned himself as the UFC. Other sports leagues are not comparable because the UFC is not a league of separate entities with a commissioner. The UFC is a company with a very public face—Dana White.
And as fans, why are you not outraged? I've heard the argument, "I just want to watch fights… I don't really care about what happens behind the scenes." All I can say is I bet your feet feel really good in those sneakers made by a four-year-old in a Thailand sweatshop.
For a guy who supposedly puts most of his stock into fan opinion, he sure does shit on that investment when he says, "The people who felt they've been lied to, get over it." Sure, he likely wanted this pointed most toward the media, but at this point the MMA media is primarily fans, probably some of the first fans of the sport and some of the most dedicated. But he also lied directly to the legions that are pigs at his trough over his personal Twitter account. You may not care now, but you sure as hell will when he realizes he can keep lying and you'll keep eating from his hand.
It's obvious Dana White didn't go to Wharton School of Business. That's primarily the reason so many people relate to him and adore him; he's one of us, but an authority figure in a business we love. Tact, however, is surely something that he never learned in any manner of education. When a simple "No comment", or from him "What the fuck does Sherdog know?" can suffice, there's no need to manufacture a narrative.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely. The same fans that are so endeared to Dana White now will be severely burned once they realize never questioning his unsavory tactics has created an absolute monster of the Vincent Kennedy McMahon sort.
And yeah, the McMahon reference is here just to piss people off.

Guide Review - The Amazing Story of Quantum Mechanics by James Kakalios
In his earlier book, The Physics of Superheroes, James Kakalios explained physics through references to the exploits of popular culture comic book icons such as The Flash and Iron Man. Though Iron Man makes a brief appearance in The Amazing Story of Quantum Mechanics, Kakalios has taken a step back a generation to use heroes of the pulp era of science fiction - folks like Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon, Doc Savage, Dick Tracy, and The Shadow - to explain the role quantum physics plays in our modern world.
The basic argument of the book is perfectly valid: The world that we live in is not the world predicted by the science fiction authors of the early twentieth century. And why is this? Why are ray guns and flying cars not on every street corner? Here is Kakalios' basic answer, from the first page of the Introduction:
Simply put, they expected a revolution in energy, but what we got was a revolution in information.
That information revolution was thanks to quantum mechanics, and Kakalios does an expert job of guiding the reader through how quantum mechanics has led us to the diverse wonders of the modern age ... wonders that are perhaps not quite as flashy as ray guns and flying cars, but just as miraculous. Among them, consider the following inventions:
- Luminescent materials
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging
- Laser-based storage materials: CDs, DVDs, and Blu-Ray Disks
- Transistors (and small personal computers, such as those in cellphones and smartphones)
- Solid-state "flash" memory devices based on Giant Magnetoresistance, the discovery of which resulted in the 2007 Nobel Prize in Physics.
Kakalios draws connections to show how many of these discoveries mirror predictions made in the early pulp era. This approach lowers the intimidation factor of the physics involved, making the subject not only accessible but also more interesting than it might otherwise be to some readers.
The one major drawback of the book has little to do with Kakalios and probably more to do with the marketing department at his publishing company. The book has splashed across the cover, seeming to be almost a subtitle, that it is "A Math-Free Exploration of the Science That Made Our World." The book is written to be extremely accessible, but it is nowhere near math free. The math involved is essentially high school algebra, so shouldn't be a hindrance to most readers, but advertising it as "math-free" is clearly misleading ... an issue which Kakalios himself tries to correct toward the end of his Introduction. If you want a book with no equations, this is not the book for you.
But, in fairness to Kakalios, he's minimized the mathematics about as much as you can without sacrificing scientific understanding. His emphasis is on the way that quantum physics shows up in our modern technology, so there isn't a lot about the measurement problem and similar concepts. This is a working man's guide to quantum mechanics ... so long as that working man isn't afraid of a bit of high school algebra.

It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of John Mortlock,
John joined Maton in 1958 and stayed with us for 34 years.
He learnt his craft in London at EMI as a wood machinist before emigrating to Australia.

Prosecutors allege that two prostitutes hid the body of a heroin user in his closet, took his car, tried using his credit cards, and used his Milwaukee apartment for seeing clients.
A complaint filed in Milwaukee County Circuit Court charges the women, and a man who allegedly helped them, with hiding a corpse-party to a crime in the death of 62-year-old Glenn Willis.
Willis was reported missing by his family, who last heard from him June 14.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports police officers checked Willis' apartment after he was reported missing June 24 but did not find his body until they returned Friday and discovered the closet door obscured by a bookcase and exercise bike pushed in front of it.
His cause of death has not been determined.

Legislative Day, and some Unexpected Information about our Government – by Katniss Skepticteen
April 9, 2013 in Law, Politics
It was not too long ago when I received the slip of paper in the middle of class. Curiously, I opened it, and was immediately captivated by the first sentence. It read something along the lines of, "On Wednesday, April 3rd, you will have the opportunity to shadow a legislator at the state capitol building for the district's Legislative Day." This was a chance to finally escape the world of textbooks and observe it all for myself, to learn all the information I had been hungry for over the years! I quickly submitted my application form, and the required essay about a legal matter of my choice (in which I discussed discrimination in the workplace). Several days later, I was informed that I had been accepted, and I could not wait for the calendar to declare that it was finally April 3rd. I was ecstatic! I had always been intrigued by the presented issues, the debates, the environment, and the overall legislative procedures. I had no idea that I would learn of something far more relevant to me in this stage of my life.
I'll cut right to the chase. I had been calmly observing the senators as they rushed to their seats from my view on the western side of the floor, when, out of nowhere, boomed, "We'd like to ask all to rise and join us in a morning prayer." That's right. Before getting down to the business that we elected them to do, every last legislator participated in a morning prayer. I felt heat rushing to my face, and my heart racing against my chest – not because I felt embarrassed, or nervous, or any of the typical emotions of a teenaged girl, but because I was panicking about the fact that this had been going on for who knew how long. It didn't help when I noticed the video cameras installed in the corners of the room, thus suggesting that officials – well, other officials – approved of this. But the most painful realization I had in that blurred moment (are you recognizing a theme here?!) was that groups and people of all ages had circulated through the place over the years, invited just as I was, and witnessed exactly what I had. The public was not entirely oblivious to this. But those who were aware, however few, were either perfectly compliant, unwilling to express disagreement, or unsuccessful in doing so.
My instincts told me to take action - I wish I could have. Instead, I simply held my head up in silent protest, scanning the crowd for a single other face. Nope. It was just a sea of bowed heads, and remained that way until the echoing, "Amen." We were all instructed to take our seats once again, as if nothing had happened. And, to most of these people, it really was nothing.
In spite of the countless other elements of the lawmaking process which fascinated me throughout the day, combined with the kindness of the legislators I met, thoughts of that prayer continued to linger in my mind without relent. It really bothered me that, in essence, the leaders of our citizens found this appropriate. The people whom I entrused to determine the best solutions to societal problems were starting that with a prayer to God.
I believe that what's truly important, however, is not something to be said in the past tense. It's in the present. Do you guys think there's a solution to things like this, no matter how seemingly trivial to others, at this point in time? And, if so, what can we do?

Reviews for Southwest Pulled Pork
Sort By :
These were awesome. Even my super picky son loved them, and he doesn't like much.
Yum yum yum!!! Served up to a house load of guests and they raved!
This is the first pulled pork recipe I have ever tried. My husband doesn't care for BBQ sauce and this was delicious and so easy to make. I was worried it would be a bit spicy as in hot spicy,but it wasn't. It was spicy as in flavor. I may add more Jalapenos next time just to give it a kick,but I highly recommend this recipe :)
Very simple and oh so delicious! My go to meal if I need to feed between 8-12 people. Any leftovers are great added to nachos.
Quick and easy, think I'll add a little more 'heat' next time. Was moist and very tender. I'll keep this recipe - Thanks!!

New mayor of Epsom and Ewell sworn in
8:20am Monday 25th May 2009 in News
A councillor was officially recognised as the new Mayor of Epsom and Ewell at the council's annual Mayor Making ceremony on Tuesday.
Councillor Jan Mason will have the support of former Mayor Councillor Alan Winkworth as a Deputy Mayor and already has number of civic events planned throughout the year including visits to residents, community groups and sports groups as well as representing the borough at the Epsom Derby.
Coun Mason's husband Alan will accompany her on her civic duties.
She said: "I have lived in Ruxley for 42 years and love the area. I am honoured to be Mayor for this fantastic Borough for the next year and I am especially looking forward to meeting so many people who live, work and support Epsom and Ewell in so many ways."
The mother of two has chosen to support Hearing Dogs for the Deaf, Riding for the Disabled and St John Ambulance during her Civic year.
Coun Mason said: "All three charities have an enormous positive impact on people's lives. I became aware of Riding for the Disabled when my daughter volunteered there while at school.
"I realised learning riding skills made a difference in other areas such as building confidence and even improving posture.
"Hearing Dogs for the Deaf is such a vital charity as their specially trained dogs make life much easier for those who have this disability.
"I value the work of the St John Ambulance, who attend many events in the Borough, including Riding for the Disabled. They are a dedicated group who give up their time to help keep others safe."
Coun Mason was elected to Epsom & Ewell Borough Council in 1995 and has served on several Council committees including Planning and Leisure.
She was vice-chairman of Planning for four years prior to becoming Chairman of Planning in 2007. She has also been Chairman of the Youth Leisure Forum since 2000, represented the Council on the Ewell Court House Advisory Group and a Board Member at Rosebery Housing Association for eight years.
Her position as chairman of planning will be taken over by Councillor Graham Dudley with Councillor Michael Arthur as vice chairman.

I play guitar and have been on at least one record. Working on a couple more band projects. I kid you not, you don't even have to know how to play well, just be confident. Don't turn your back to the crowd and be all emo, put your crotch in their face, play like you'd fuck. I bend notes, I intentionally miss rhythms, I'm always unpredictable and the crowd is always in for a surprise. I got more "play" after shows than I ever had in my life.
Other great hobbies:
Cooking. Baking. Women love to eat good food. I'm currently in culinary school and I keep pictures of the desserts on my phone. I'm currently working on making it a Digital Photo routine and it's definately DHV. I show a pic of one of my mousse cakes coated in chocolate and caramel and, unless the woman is fucking lame, the women "ooooh" and "ahhhhh" over it. If the girl says "I don't like chocolate", it's an opportunity to neg. "Really? God, I bet you hate sex, too." I want to learn the art of Italian food, though, as it just seems more meant for sharing than "modern" French-based cuisine. A big, steaming pile of freshly made/cooked pasta, olive oil, some tomato base with roasted eggplant, garlic, and fresh herbs... and a big hunk of freshly baked ciabatta or pan siciliano... fresh Parmigianno Reggiano, grated. A bottle of good wine. Candles and softer music. Follow it up with a lighter dessert, maybe a chocolate mousse in a glass (parfait) or maybe on a tuile cup with some sugar decorations... Yeah, if you played all your A1-C3 right, you're heading straight to S3.
Other hobbies I enjoy:
Listening to music:wish I could do this more. I've put away the iPod so I can talk to girls during the commute. The iPod, I've found, is bad for my social life as I can just get lost in the music. As for recommendations, I like Style's recommendation for Cesaria Evora for make-out music. I've been picking up older "Easy Listening" stuff from the likes of Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bing Crosby. Early James Brown is great for "gettin' down", as is Otis Redding. I must hang my head in shame for not having any Isaac Hayes or Barry White. And then, there's a huge world of "newer" stuff that's great to listen to in a zillion genres. I tend to stay away from black/death metal because it's just too... Could you really fuck to Cannibal Corpse? Although, I have had sex to Ministry's "A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste" once.
Reading good books: history/philosophy, interesting fiction like Bukowski, Palahnuik, Vonnegut, etc. I'd stay away from things like "Da Vinci Code" just because it's... too pop?
Riding bike: Exercise, people watch, etc. I sold my car so it's my main form of transportation except for the bus.
Dancing: Girls love to dance. Most guys don't. If you're the smooth guy on the dance floor, guess who they're going to dance with? Some people don't like the dance floor, and that's fine. It works for me, as it gets my energy up and puts me in the mood to talk. I want to learn Salsa and Swing so I have real dance moves, and not my borderline retard "raver" style.
Going out: This can be a hobby in itself. Finding great places to hang out, small little art galleries, places to sit and watch the sun set or stargaze at night.
Things I wouldn't recommend mentioning to girls until you've closed:
Comic Book collection
World of Warcraft addiction
Fish Breeding
I generally try new things that I don't think will be "congruent" with my current image and sometimes I surprise myself and enjoy it. So don't dismiss, say, dancing, until you've done it for a few months.
Good luck everyone!
EDIT: other hobbies I'd love to get into but currently cannot due to money, time, or availability:
Woodworking (you know, if you can build shit like furniture, you are also able to fix shit around the house. Women love that, too).
Glass Blowing (studio glass art)
Organic Gardening (I guess I *could* start up an herb garden for my kitchen)
Someone mentioned martial arts earlier, which is fun for me (I played judo for quite a few years), but not exactly something I like to bring up unless someone else brings it up. To me, it just sounds a lot like "Yeah, I'm a tough guy, LOVE ME" (try-hard). Good god, just don't do "katas" for a girl to impress her, eh? Capoeira is a style I want to learn, simply because it looks great when you do it right, builds your body in a great way, and teaches things like rhythm which is important when you dance... and fuck.

Do you have 'professional telepathy'? It's what Ernst & Young looks for from firms (video)
Posted May 16, 2013 12:20 PM CDT
By Lee Pacchia
Trevor Faure, Global Leader of Legal Services for Ernst & Young, tells Bloomberg Law's Lee Pacchia that general counsels at large corporations are looking for four things from the law firms which represent them: professional telepathy, professional prescience, exceptional client service and cost efficiency. "But please note, [cost efficiency] will be fourth, after delivering and bringing the first three," Faure says.
Law firms who want a large corporation's business should keep abreast of all developments in that corporation's industry, and deliver a "bespoke, very precise message to that GC" which anticipates legal challenges which the business will soon be faced with, says Faure. "[A law firm's] technical expertise on your subject matter...is of equal importance to [its] knowledge of the client."
How can law firms afford to do this? Faure gives Pacchia his suggestions on how to deliver this kind of personalized service.

Professor Nelson Tebbe spoke to the Killeen Daily Herald about the ongoing trial of Major Nidal Hasan, the accused shooter at Fort Hood in 2009. Recently, the military judge presiding over the case ordered Hasan to shave his full beard, which has created concerns regarding the defendant's freedom of religion. Two past cases provide legal precedent in the matter, including a ruling which overturned the Newark Police Department's regulation that prevented officers from growing beards.
Professor Tebbe explained that Hasan's case is similar to the Newark ruling. "The Newark case could be very influential," he said. "I'm not predicting that (Hasan will) win, but he's got an argument."
